OKAY SO when I watched Fury Road (the first time) I thought it was strange how eloquently the Wives talked, but then when I watched it the second (and third) time I noticed that their prison room was filled with books – they're the only educated, well read people in the world of Mad Max. So then I…had some feelings and made a little comic!
wow this is amazing and so much better than the Vertigo prequel comic. PERFECTION.
This is EXACTLY the kind of prequel content I most dearly desire!
Something I found rather cool about that is how historically accurate it is.

Measuring 4.960m in length, 2.080m in width and 1.090m in height the GT Concept is of substantial size.
After the 6 part series of teaser images, excitement for this concept was starting to wane. However, Citroen have finally pulled off the red sheet on the GT Concept, and we are happy to say that our enthusiasm has been restored.
Intended for the virtual world through Sony's Gran Turismo 5 on Playstation 3, Citroen has constructed a tangible version for the real world. Measuring 4.960m in length, 2.080m in width and 1.090m in height the GT Concept is a substantial size. Enhancing its overall presence are the foreboding wheel arches with diamond-effect 21-inch aluminium wheels tucked under, and exaggerated rear end, which Citroen admits is oversized.
No specific technical details are given, but we can see from the photos that the doors open in gullwing fashion and driving information is projected onto the windshield via head-up display using red LEDs.
See press release below for further details. Also, photo gallery with 64 images is attached.

Adding Value to Your Cardio Workout
You love getting in a solid cardio workout, but sometimes it gets boring. Who likes staring at a wall for the duration of a 5k on the treadmill?
To add more fun and excitement to your workouts, Life Fitness goes far beyond just developing fitness equipment. Not only do we create some of the technology ourselves, but we make the ability for different technologies to work with our products.
LFopen™ From Life Fitness continues to bring more to the fitness experience. In the past, commercial fitness products were only compatible with applications developed by the same company that manufactured the product. With LFopen, third-party app developers have the ability to integrate their applications with Life Fitness open platform products like those with Discover™ Tablet consoles and Track+ consoles, giving the user several options when finding an app that works best for their fitness routine.
Kinomap, which now interacts with Life Fitness open platform products, provides a landscape for users in an indoor workout facility. Kinomap is all about sharing. This app allows users to upload a video of a run, bike ride, etc. and attach it to a map that other users can access on their tablets during a workout.
Paofit gives the user an artificial, yet appealing landscape during a cardio workout. What does that mean? It means the Paofit app simulates an outdoor experience on your screen so you're no longer forced to stare at a blank wall during a cardio session. Feel like running through Ireland or Death Valley? How about Tuscany, Italy? Paofit satisfies your adventurous appetite through a Life Fitness Discover Tablet Console or Track+ Console and takes you to those destinations without going through an airport security checkpoint.
Paofit also combines a social element and allows you to share workouts with friends on Facebook. When a workout is shared, Paofit turns your pace into an avatar that your friends can see when working out on the same course. The competitiveness will encourage you to challenge friends, meaning you go harder and get a better workout.
Track+ consoles are now compatible with iOS and Android devices. A USB cable allows users to plug in their Android phones and tablets without the threat of battery loss because the cable doubles as a charging port. Expanding compatibility to another platform means more users can track their fitness progress through the LFconnect website or another app during a workout.
Eager to give these a try? Discover Tablet consoles are available with the Elevation Series equipment in commercial facilities, and the home version at the Platinum Club Series. They are also available in all home products with Track+ consoles.

25 July 2013 | Regulatory | By BioSpectrum Bureau
Boston Scientific Rhythmia Mapping System – Gets US FDA 510(k) nod
Singapore: Boston Scientific received US FDA 510(k) clearance for the Rhythmia Mapping System, a next-generation 3D mapping and navigation solution for use in cardiac catheter ablations and other electrophysiology (EP) procedures to diagnose or treat a variety of conditions in which the heart beats abnormally. The Rhythmia Mapping System received CE Mark approval in May of 2013.
Cardiac mapping has become a standard tool for the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias. Current mapping systems require a manual, labor intensive process to create maps, making tradeoffs between accuracy and speed. Current systems also offer limited indication of therapy success. The Rhythmia Mapping System is designed to intelligently automate map creation, increasing the speed and improving the density of mapping compared to existing systems. The system also features vMap, a validation map, which is designed to enable electrophysiologists, for the first time, to rapidly confirm the endpoints of the ablation treatment.
Boston Scientific is offering the Rhythmia Mapping System with the company's 64-electrode IntellaMap Orion High Resolution Mapping Catheter, which has also received FDA 510(k) clearance.
Dr Warren Jackman, professor of Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, US, said that, "I believe the Rhythmia Mapping System will become the new gold standard for mapping and navigation. Rhythmia delivers maps of exceptional clarity because it captures thousands versus hundreds of data points. The magic of Rhythmia is continuous mapping. The intelligence built into the system virtually eliminates the need for manual annotation, which is expected to facilitate the diagnosis, treatment and final verification of arrhythmias."
Mr Pete Sommerness, general manager, Electrophysiology, Boston Scientific, said that, "We are committed to developing technologies that surround electrophysiologists with innovative solutions designed to meaningfully improve patient outcomes and increase operational efficiencies. We believe this clearance will help Boston Scientific achieve scale and scope to better serve the rapidly growing global EP market."

At PCI, we made hella cookies and pumpkin bread. Omg, someone drained 2 sinks at once so it started overflowing! Ughh. It was flooding in the hallway too. I think it was Thao, but her and Nancy TRIED to clean it, but ended up leaving all the towels there. Then they just went home. Serena changed, but when she got out, she helped Lynn and I and Chef clean it up. GG. Dirty dirty work.
After PCI, I had so much time to kill so I stopped by Kira's. Amanda and Geoff were there. We played rockband. Lol... ANYWAYS. I was supposed to chill with Vlad that night because I was gonna get my mom a BDAY cake. But Vlad had to eat dinner with his family. Then he calls me up and tells me that he already made plans and all this other confusing stuff. So anyways, Kira drives us all the way to Milpitas to eat In and Out. Then we go to Walmart to look for flowers for my mom but they didn't sell any. On the way home, stuff happened. Drama.
So we get back to Kira's place, and I go to Amanda's place. Amanda went home to get her things then we go back to my house and give my mom the cake. Amanda slept over and we just talked, chilled, drew sketches, etc. Man, talking to Blake and Vlad are hella funny. Vlad was drunk so I was messing wih his head, and Blake is just Blake. Haha. We eventually fell asleep at 1 in the morning.
So this morning, we were both pretty late. Good thing there wasn't any traffic! So this morning, Lynn and I thought of our gingerbread house. It's gonna be a Pagoda. Hella awesome! So we took carboard and started cutting and stuff. and also making the shape of everything. It's funny because she was talking about her son. Lol. So, we didnt really get much done, but we just decided to go back to her place and finish. I love talking to the guys. Blake, Ameet and Greg were there. I'm gonna be sad when they graduate..
After PCI, I drive Amanda home and I head over to Lynn's house. She showed me a pic of her son. Lol. He's alright looking. Apparently he plays the drums, got a label deal, is 6'1", and he cooks. Lol. Funny. So yea, we get everything done. We built our gingerbread pagoda out of cardboard! Whoo! Lol. I hope that we actually pull this off. I dont care if I win or not, this is just a pretty fun experience.
So now, I'm at home, waiting for Jen and Allyson to come over so we could hang out. I'm so exhausted! But I can't wait. Tomorrow, I think I'm going over to Blake's with Vlad to go chill and stuff. If Vlad doesn't come with me, I'd just be like "WTH VLAD, WTF" Lol. Jkjk.

The spectacular Dolomiti Superski area comprises of 12 ski regions with a total of 1200 km of slopes making it the largest ski carousel in the world. It has much to offer skiers looking for a challenge as well as intermediates and beginners.
Dolomiti Superski is characterised by beautifully groomed pistes, a well organised and well-maintained lift system, friendly locals, quaint villages and the most breathtaking scenery. Dolomiti Superski has invested in superb snowmaking facilities that cover over 80% of the resort's slopes should the need arise.
The Dolomites are inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage list for outstanding natural beauty, with good reason.
Dotted throughout the region are characterful mountain bars and restaurants, some of which have Michelin stars, and some of which are world famous (generally not overpriced either!). All these establishments are of such a high standard that we challenge you to find one that is less than excellent.
It will be impossible to experience all the area has to offer in just one week – we're sure you'll want to return.
Alta Badia, San Cassiano
Alta Badia is one of the 12 regions in Dolomiti Superski and is joined to a number of other regions around the famous Sella Ronda circuit with over 500km of directly linked pistes. The village of San Cassiano is surrounded by stunning mountains and lies between Cortina and Val Badia. It is one of four villages around the Ski Carousel play area which takes you between La Villa with its famous 'Gran Risa' World Cup run, Corvara and Colfosco.
One of the world's most unique and memorable ski runs, the Hidden Valley, is close by. At the bottom of this beautiful run from the top of Lagazuoi, you can be pulled back to the lifts by horse-drawn cart.
Linked to the Sella Ronda
Our chalet is just three lifts away from the famous Sella Ronda – a day's ski around a group of stunning peaks, taking in Corvara, Val Gardena, Arabba. Half an hour from Arabba is the Marmolada glacier.
Intermediate skiers /boarders
This part of the Dolomites features miles and miles of wide red and blue runs. Intermediate skiers will find themselves progressing fast here because the pistes are so well maintained and groomed.
Advanced skiers
For the more advanced skier there are plenty of blacks and challenging reds in the Dolomites to keep the adrenaline flowing and you'll find it's possible to cover significant distances in a day.
Nearby La Villa has the World Cup Gran Risa slope. From San Cassiano, a 40-minute ski brings you to Selva Val Gardena with endless pistes to explore and another World Cup run – the men's downhill black.
In this part of the Dolomiti Superski area, snowboarders have the advantage of wide open pistes and seemingly inexhaustible mileage. There are some areas where you can go off-piste but there are otherwise restrictions.
There is a snow park very close to Piz Sorega with jumps and rails open to both freeskiers and boarders. This has become one of the most popular parks in the area and includes an extreme jump course.
There are also fun parks created on a number of pistes in the area.
Children and beginners
San Cassiano has an excellent ski school and the nursery slope is at the top of the high-speed gondola from the village. Learners quickly progress to the nearby blue runs of the Ski Carousel and can soon make the gentle blue back to San Cassiano and our chalet, Albergo Frohsinn.
There's a children's adventure playground close to the top of the gondola as well as a bear cave and an indoor soft play area upstairs in the Piz Sorega restaurant for young bambinos.
Skiing with company
Our staff are often available ski with you. We can introduce you to our immediate area and can show you some of our favourite routes including Cinque Torri & the Hidden Valley, St Croce /La Crusc, 3 blacks in Alta Badia, or Ortisei & La Longue (run featured in a Bond film).
There will be a member of the team in the chalet bar most evenings with knowledge of the area's pistes who will be able to provide information on days we could accompany you, or routes for your own navigation and who can make suggestions for those all-important lunch stops.
Lift Passes
We offer a service of arranging lift passes and bringing them to the chalet for our guests.

Experienced Washington, D.C. and Maryland estate litigation attorney
Estate Litigation Skills Sharpened by Years of Practice
Wills, trusts, and estate plans - it's important to have them, and it's important to have them done right. You know how you want to distribute and dispose of your assets, but it is difficult to foresee things that might go wrong along the way. Wills get contested, guardianships get questioned, and conservatorships get challenged. At the Law Offices of George A. Teitelbaum, we have been in practice since 1983, and have many years of experience handling estate litigation issues. We are confident that whatever issues might come up regarding your probate or estate litigation, we have the experience and the skills needed to defend your interests in court. If you are facing an estate litigation issue, contact us. We will discuss your options and formulate a plan of action.
Our estate litigation practice includes:
Will contests: Relates typically to a will that is contested due to excessive or undue influence exerted over the person when the will was written or incompetence on the part of the person making the will.
Guardianships and conservatorships:
When a guardianship or conservatorship is needed, and if courts do get
involved, we can ensure that the process is handled properly and the
right person is selected to be guardian or conservator.
Trial Skills Forged in Landmark Cases
People sometimes have to be protected from those who are ostensibly protecting them. Our principal, George A. Teitelbaum, has seen this anomaly in practice, and he has successfully fought against it in trial. In the landmark District of Columbia Court of Appeals case in 2002, In Re Mollie Orshansky, Attorney Teitelbaum's efforts resulted in a favorable decision for Mollie Orshansky, who the court and the District of Columbia Adult Protective Services were attempting to force into a D.C. nursing home - against her wishes - away from her family in New York.
that case, the court decided that there is a hierarchy regarding how a
guardian or conservator is chosen, and that, occasionally, seniors must
be protected from Adult Protective Services or family members so that
the process is done in the elder person's best interests.
The Orshansky case is only one of many cases that Attorney Teitelbaum has successfully taken to trial. Our litigation skills help us to raise the quality of service we provide our clients.
Contact us for estate litigation assistance.
We offer a wide variety of estate and elder law services for clients throughout the District of Columbia and Maryland. For more information, please contact our law office today. Attorney George Teitelbaum also assists clients located out of state that may have legal issues in the District of Columbia and Maryland.

87 Glassford Street. Memorize this address because I guarantee that after you read this article you are going to want to visit Soulsa Cafe right away!
Although the outside looks very ordinary, what you see as you walk through the door is definitely going to surprise you: a nice, cosy set of soft armchairs and leather booths arranged around a fireplace creates a warm atmosphere, and the decorated walls, full of photos and prints of famous singers and album covers, really make Soulsa Cafe look like one of those sophisticated record companies.
But the most important and distinctive element of Soulsa Cafe is the DJ booth and the turntable on the left corner of the room, which is free to use (with extreme care) by the customers. What's better than sipping a nice cup of coffee on the melody of your favourite track?
Talking about coffee, I would say it is definitely on my top 10 list, as it is the range of cakes and snacks available at the counter. Sometimes the choice of options is limited, but the desserts are always baked on the day and really made from the heart. One last thing I really like at Soulsa is their soup & sandwich deal: always made fresh and always super yummy!

Chinese Gaming Markets Surge as ChinaJoy Convention Approaches
After years of development, China's game industry is now strong enough to explore the market outside China. This is coinciding with a widely known pessimism of MMO gamers that they have seen it all before and can no longer be satisfied with their current string of MMOs. This atmosphere is shaping up to create an explosive setting for ChinaJoy 2011, the premier Chinese gaming convention held annually in Shanghai.
"Going overseas" has long been a great ambition for China's game industry. 2010 in particular marked a huge influx of Chinese developed games into the western market. According to China's Game Industry Report 2010, a total of 82 game products developed by 34 Chinese Internet game companies entered the overseas market in 2010, with total sales revenue of $230 million, an 111 percent leap from the previous year.
Such achievements are attributed not only to the enhancing development capabilities of China's game industry, but also the stake purchase and acquisitions of foreign enterprises by large-size Chinese game operators. Shanda's purchase of Mochimedia and Eyedentity Games, the Korean developer of Dragon Nest, alongside The9's purchase of Red 5 and strategic investment in Open Feint were just the beginning. The real news broke when Tencent announced the purchase of Riot Games for over $350 million in February 2011, which is proof of the prediction of Joe Steger, Chief of Ernst Young's Global Technology Trading Unit, "I predict that Chinese companies will continue to consider purchasing foreign companies and looking for growth opportunities in the international market."
At an industry annual conference in Beijing at the beginning of this year, China's leading game companies all placed high priority on overseas expansion and mobile entertainment products. Mr. Sun Shoushan, Deputy Director of China's General Administration of Press and Publication, addressed that the administration will initiate an overseas promotion program for China's local-made Internet games to encourage and support qualified game companies in their overseas expansion.
According to China's Game Industry Report 2010, China's game development companies independently developed over 356 games in 2010, representing an increase of 35 games from 2009, while the growth rate maintained the same as 2009. Through years of growth, China's game industry has turned out nearly 3,000 varieties of games, covering different types including MMO, Webgame, social game and mobile entertainment.
It is safe to say that China's game industry has reached a stage where continued growth is impossible in the present without seeking international markets. Recent quality games like Eden Eternal and Forsaken World have shown that Chinese development is starting to show parity with their competition in Europe and the US.
Compared with European and US game companies, Chinese game companies are improving in their MMO products' features, content updates, and graphics. Meanwhile, China's constant stream of games provides multiple competitive titles to pressure the international market. According to Howell, the organizer of ChinaJoy scheduled for July 28-31, 2011, enquiries have come from various industry associations in countries and regions including Europe, the US, Korea, Japan, South and East Asia, Brazil and Russia seeking to establish partnerships with Chinese counterpart companies.
OnRPG, an official western media outlet for ChinaJoy, will be putting our attention on this event come the end of July to see what new and excited games emerge from this Media Frenzy of business deals and game porting plans.

Small steps we are taking that will help us accomplish your goals!
My Answer: I don't personally take small steps. I have to take big ones due to lack of time. As I've stated before due to my illness (Spinal Stenosis) I take shots and it keeps the pain at bay for two months & then I live one month one day at a time & pretty much at home, but I have set up a few things to keep me sitting and busy and I can still exercise at my desk. I will lose that 75 lbs. (my resolution) one way or another to get rid this pain and feel like me again.
Stacy has decided to put up a link for us for Aloha Friday participants because Kailani's had her plate full and hasn't had the linky up the last couple of months for Aloha Friday, so Stacy is bringing back the Friday Free For All so link up if you're participating in Aloha Friday.

Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Sean! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found, was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.
My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are so proud of our son and his service to our country, as you will also burst with pride of your child! This is the place to brag!
Join us on Facebook as well!
Once again, welcome to our site and I hope you enjoy your stay here. GO NAVY! HOOYAH!
Best Regards- Jim

Today's fun fact: people still read books in Norway! Do you know how I know this? Because lifelong Norwegian (and globally-acclaimed singer-songwriter) Jenny Hval has announced a new novel! It's called Paradise Rot and it's hitting store shelves October 2 via the good graces of Penguin Random House and the heartwarming radicals over at Verso. Congrats on that multi-hyphenate status, Jenny!
Billed as "a lyrical and uncompromising debut novel," the book "presents a heady and hyper-sensual portrayal of sexual awakening and queer desire," which is easily my favorite genre of prose. SPOILER WARNING!! Here's a plot synopsis to tide you over until you have to brace yourself against that biting autumn breeze:
Jo is in a strange new country for university, and having a more peculiar time than most. A house with no walls, a roommate with no boundaries, and a home that seems ever more alive. Jo's sensitivity, and all her senses, become increasingly heightened and fraught, as the lines between bodies and plants, and dreaming and wakefulness, blur and mesh.
I know, I know; you're just dying to know the page length, ISBN, and physical dimensions of the paperback. Well, I have good news and better news: the good news is that you can find all that information over at the Penguin Random House site; the better news is that you can pre-order Paradise Rot over there, too! Finally, Paradise Lost gets the gritty modern reboot we all know it deserves!

Make sure your clothes aren't dirty or wrinkly, come looking your best, and drink plenty of water the night before and morning of to keep your skin well balanced.
What if I have no experience being on camera?

When do I get my proofs and final shots?
If it's a quick one-off professional look then the final shot is chosen and touched up before you leave the office. If it's a longer shoot or an on-location shoot, then right after the shoot Ted sends you a link of online Proofs. Once you pick your favorite shots from the proofs, touchups are complete usually within 24-48 hours.
Do you watermark your photos and make me pay to remove your logo?

Personal Journal
Our children are watching. Even from a young age they are learning and imprinting by our words and actions. Have you ever told your kids "not right now, I'm busy, or be quiet, I can't listen right now."
One of my favorites is when parents spell anything they don't want the kids to hear. That did not work so well for my husband. Our daughter was a toddler, I had just finished a horse show and we were loading up. My husband handed me a bridle and said "here is your s.h.i.t." My little girl handed me a lead rope and said "yea mommy here is some of your s.h.i.t." I gave my husband a look and said "Good job, I get to write in her memory book the first word she learned to spell."
Most of the time we do not even know what we are saying. We are caught up in the moment. I watched a Good Luck Charlie episode where the toddler said a bad word and used it in the right context. The mom interrogated everyone, husband, siblings and neighbors. Looking for blame. She was driving and had to slam on the breaks and said the same word. She had no one to blame but herself.
When your kids are teens, you want to lay the blame for their words and actions on the influences of others. Take a hard look at yourself. There is no substitute for you. If you are not giving them time, love and respect, don't expect it in return.

Political Wisdom: Decoding Bill Clinton's Speech
CHARLOTTE, N.C. –– Former President Bill Clinton made a strong case for President Barack Obama's re-election in his Wednesday night speech to the Democratic National Convention here. In the 48-minute keynote address, the 42nd president defended the 44th president's record and rebutted the Republicans' charges against him.
Ezra Klein at the Washington Post says Mr. Clinton focused on the numbers.
To a degree unusual in political rhetoric, this was a 48-minute speech about arithmetic. About math. About budgets.
It was, in a sense, the speech that I expected Paul Ryan to give last week. Not in its particulars, of course. It would have been rather off-message if Ryan had mounted the stage and said, "I want Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States." But in its tone. In its specifics. In its wonkiness. Bill Clinton made the policy case for Barack Obama. Neither Paul Ryan nor anyone else at the Republican convention made a sustained policy case for Mitt Romney…

|from $2.50
Hydrocodone is a prescription painkiller that is known for its reliability and effectiveness. Hydrocodone was synthesized almost 100 years ago and today is one of the most commonly used opioid analgesic in the US.
Hydrocodone exerts a powerful analgesic effect and is highly effective for alleviating chronic pain. The analgesic effect of this medication is almost as potent as that of Morphine and several times more potent than that of Codeine.
The use of Hydrocodone in recommended doses allows to:
- Reduce physical suffering and discomfort.
- Improve life quality of people, who live with chronic pain.
Hydrocodone has a rapid onset of action and is relatively quickly eliminated from the body. To allow the drug work for a long time, it is produced in the form of extended release capsules and tablets.
After the oral administration of pills, Hydrocodone is slowly and stably released into the bloodstream. Due to the sustained release, Hydrocodone is effective in managing chronic pain. This medication is not used to treat acute pain.
Depending on the severity of the pain, Hydrocodone tablets or capsules are used at a dose of 10 mg to 120 mg. If the pain has arisen for the first time and Hydrocodone is used as the first painkiller, the initial dose is:
- 10-15 mg every 12 hours.
- 20 mg – with a 24-hour interval.
Patients who have previously used Oxycodone, Morphine, Hydromorphone or other powerful opioid analgesics should inform the doctor about this fact. Pain management for opioid-tolerant patients can be initiated with the use of higher drug doses.
If the use of initial recommended doses does not allow achieving analgesia, the daily dose may be increased with the account taken of the following recommendations:
- Dosage should be changed no more than once every three days.
- The size of the dose increments should not exceed 20 mg.
The main goal of increasing the daily dose of Hydrocodone is to achieve an adequate analgesic effect. Once it has been reached, the daily dose should not be increased. The daily dosage for patients, who have not previously used opioid analgesics, should not exceed 80 mg.
Destruction of the pills structure can lead to a sharp increase in Hydrocodone concentration in the blood plasma and an overdose. Therefore, pills can not be broken even if a patient needs to reduce the dosage. Several pills with a low dose can be taken at one time.
Use of recommended Hydrocodone doses will help alleviate the pain and the patient will feel better. However, like any other painkiller, Hydrocodone is characterized not only by benefits, but also by risks. The main risks of this drug are adverse reactions.
Any analgesic, no matter how effective and safe it is, can cause rare, common and frequent adverse reactions. Therefore, the benefits of using Hydrocodone should be carefully weighed with possible risks.
During the period of Hydrocodone pills use, the most frequent possible adverse reactions are:
- Headache
- Constipation
- Nausea
Examples of more rare undesirable effects include lack of energy and strength, abdominal discomfort, loose stools, sleep disorders, musculoskeletal pain, feelings of severe despondency and ringing in the ears.
The probability of occurrence of such reactions varies within wide limits, depending on:
- The dose used.
- Duration of treatment.
- Individual sensitivity.
- Age and weight of the patient.
Most of the patients will not experience any problems when using Hydrocodone. The side effects are usually not serious. After their appearance, there is no need to adjust the daily dose or stop the treatment of chronic pain.
Some adverse events are serious in nature. If they appeared and do not go away on their own, a reduction in the daily dose may be recommended. If it does not help, patient can be prescribed another treatment.
Before sustained release Hydrocodone pills were approved for sale, extensive testing was conducted. Government regulatory agencies studied the results of testing, including the analgesic effects and adverse reactions of this medication. It was determined that the benefits-risks balance of Hydrocodone is positive.
In October 2013, the FDA approved sustained release Hydrocodone pills. This medicine is supplied by Pernix Ireland Pain and sold under the name Zohydro ER.
Zohydro ER is not the only Hydrocodone-containing medication, approved for the treatment of chronic pain. Today in the USA, you can buy Hydrocodone pills under the names:
- Hysingla
- Vantrela ER
The listed opioid analgesics were approved by the FDA in 2014 and in 2017 respectively. They are supplied by Purdue Pharma and Teva.
Actavis and Alvogen Malta reported receipt of tentative approval for their long-release Hydrocodone pills. These pain relievers are called "Hydrocodone Bitartrate". At the moment, they are not sold in the US.
The price of Hydrocodone pills may differ. It depends on the amount of the active substance that they contain, the place of purchase and the wholesale price of the manufacturer. As a rule, large pharmacy chains offer low prices for painkillers.
Hydrocodone-containing medicines provide identical analgesic effects, no matter how they are called and which company produced them. Therefore, you can buy the cheapest Hydrocodone pills and get a powerful analgesic, approved by the FDA.

When Lukasz of Alembic comms who does the media magic for Balblair (and some other Interbev brands) calls for a twitter tasting I am the first to join in, and with good reasons. Those events are always a treat, and Balblair is one of my favourite distilleries ever since I've visited a couple of years ago, and was very impressed with the distillery and its whiskies, Super place, and super drams all high quality, NCF, no colouring and a joy to the palate. I think Balblair does not get the attention it should get, and hope people who read this will try and get better acquainted with their whiskies, cause you should!
Anyways, we were for a treat of an evening with 3 superb drams, of which this one was the youngest. 1997, seems like yesterday, but hey it's been 15 years old. I am getting really old…
this is the 2nd release, bottled 2012 from 1st refill American oak ex-bourbon casks, at 46%. Let's dive in shall we?
Balblair , 1997 , 2012 release ,46% , £52.96
Nose: What a delight : vanilla, sweet honey, pineapple, banana peel , fruit and ginger candy.you can call it fruit salad madness , and you'd be right. so nice. honey, the aromas just scream out there to you, no need to go looking' bits of lemon curd here and there. truly lovely stuff! when you let it rest you get a bit of charred wood. Fruit noses do not get any better than this. Fine stuff!
Palate: Ginger powder, malty, lemon tart, biscuity and malty, with the apples underneath, wood spices, and an exotic fruit i can't put my finger on, bits of white pepper too. An orgy of flavours just playing with your palate, as you smile in delight.
Finish: Medium, zingy, ginger and fruit.
A fine whisky, fruity, sweet, with enough highland character too, and a delight to sniff and quaff.Balblair know their work eh?

Product Review: Wild Calling! Whitefish Recipe Kibble Dog Food
by Joe Spencer
Barks 5th Avenue
Before we discuss this product, I'd like to give you a little background on my dog, Prince.
Prince is my best friend. He is almost 14 years old, and has been with me since I was stationed at Point Loma Submarine Base shortly before September 11, 2001. He has been my constant companion, and I love him dearly.
Prince has always had itchy skin, and I've been told hundreds of times by half a dozen veterinarians that it is 'just how he is' and we needed to just manage his 'allergies'. About 4 years ago, my vet swapped him over to Royal Canin Venison kibble, because he was getting frequent ear infections. "Don't worry," she said, "it is just his breed. Tight ear canals. This is normal. This venison-based dog food will help control it. In the meantime, use this special ear medicine (cha-ching! $150.00/month)." Oh, and the Royal Canin's monthly supply was another $100.00, on top of that.
Last year, my little buddy went deaf. The ear infections were recurring, almost monthly, and his itchy nature just wouldn't go away. I felt bad for my little boy. He was miserable. I was at wit's end.
Then, I started working as the media/business development manager for Barks 5th Avenue here in Houston, TX. The first time I told Pennie, the owner, about Prince's condition, she shouted "GO GRAIN FREE!" I did. I am glad I did. I also regret not learning about canine nutrition sooner. I did what most pet owners do; took the advice of the family veterinarian as gospel. Now, I am a bit more discerning about what I put in my pet's body…whether it is food, treats, or medicine.
Recently, we began carrying Wild Calling! brand of dry (kibble) dog food. We have carried their canned (wet) dog food for a while now, but I wasn't using that for daily feeding (more as a once-in-a-while 'treat'). Honestly, I was a bit concerned with their protein sourcing (for dog food noobies, translates as 'where the meat comes from'), since they outsource the canning of their wet dog food to another, albeit U.S.-based dog food company, and I wasn't sold on their processes.
About a month ago, however, our food supply representative, Michelle (who is one of the great dog food gurus of our time), stopped by with Jeremy Petersen, the son of Wild Calling!'s founder. He wanted to introduce his new product line, the dry dog food, to us. I rapid-fired questions at him concerning quality, packaging, ingredients, and such. He was not only able to answer my questions, but was able to assuage many concerns I had that I didn't even realize (more on that, later). For the dry dog food, THEY package the food at their own facility in Colorado; they do not outsource to any other companies. The way he presented their ingredients and quality reminded me of Orijen, which is the standard by which I now measure all other dry dog foods. That, and the packaging was amazing (by the way, Jeremy does all of the company's artistic design. He is quite a talented guy). I was intrigued.
So, the retail team here at Barks talked, and we decided to move out an underperforming line of dog food, and replace it with Wild Calling!'s dry kibble. We purchased a few bags to try on our own pets, to see how they'd respond (that's how we do 'quality testing' here, hehe). The response was overwhelmingly positive.
Due to Prince's reactions to numerous proteins and vegetables (he cannot eat chicken, beef, grain, or white potato), I have to be very careful on what ingredients are in his food rotation; virtually everything out there has some kind of chicken/beef 'byproduct' in it. The Whitefish Recipe solves that problem for me. The main ingredient (first one listed on the package) is Whitefish. There is some turkey fat listed in the ingredients, but Prince handles turkey well, so I was ok with that.
One of the big selling points for the Wild Calling! is their GlycoEdge system. Their food is designed to provide our dogs with consistent energy and a low glycemic diet (this is important for Prince…as a senior dog, his chance of diabetes is very high). They do this by combining Tapioca (quick sugar release), Sweet Potatoes (moderate release), and Lentils (slow release). This helps limit glucose and insulin spikes, as well as aids in soft stool prevention.
If you are concerned with your dog's sugar intake, diabetes risk, or weight, this process should be VERY appealing to you. It sure was to me!
ALL US-SOURCED INGREDIENTS, 82% Digestible/77% Protein from Animal Ingredients!
If you have been watching the news, you know that ANY food material coming out of China is suspect. Dog food has been especially targeted for danger, since there have been numerous cases of dogs dying from eating Chinese dog food. Many 'big box' dog foods say "Made in the USA", but their ingredients are not from here; they are just PACKED here. Wild Calling!'s ingredients are all US Sourced, except in specifically-listed products, and those are still coming from reputable, controlled suppliers in trusted areas (no China!).
The fact that Wild Calling! is up front about where they obtain their ingredients is very important to me. I hope it is to you, as well.
With a listed 82% digestible ingredients, 77% of which are from animal protein, that means efficient digestion, less waste! Compare that with the overwhelming amount of filler in 'big box' dog food. You do the math, it isn't good for your pooch.
COST PER FEEDING: I feed once a day. At MSRP, it costs me about $1.24/day
(Based on a 20lb dog eating 1.5cups/day per suggested amount on package)
IN CONCLUSION, I find the Wild Calling! Whitefish kibble to be an excellent addition to my food rotation. It is grain-free, US-sourced ingredients that my dog loves. The cost-per-feeding is awesome, the GlycoEdge helps control sugar intake, and the packaging looks amazing. I'm finding that by feeding quality foods like Wild Calling! to my dogs, my vet bills are lower, my dogs are happier and healthier, and I have the peace of mind that I'm doing what I can to keep them strong . I'm extremely happy with this product, and recommend adding it to your food rotation, as well!
Joe Spencer is the Business Development Manager at Barks 5th Avenue in Houston, TX. He has 3 dogs at home: Prince, a 13yo Lhasa Apso; Duke, a 3yo Chaweenie; and Colbie, a 2.5yo Rhodesian Mix. When he is not learning about amazing canine products, he can be found playing with his dogs at home…or picking the dog hair off of every piece of clothing in the house.
