Heparin calcium 25,000 I.U./ml Solution for injection or concentrate for solution
for infusion.
Heparin calcium 25,000 I.U./ml (5,000 I.U. in 0.2ml)
For excipients see 6.1
Solution for injection or concentrate for solution for infusion
A colourless or straw-coloured liquid, free from turbidity and from matter that
deposits on standing.
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
Treatment of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, unstable angina
pectoris and acute peripheral arterial occlusion.
Prophylaxis of mural thrombosis following myocardial infarction.
In extracorporeal circulation and haemodialysis.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Route of administration
By continuous intravenous infusion in 5% glucose or 0.9% sodium chloride or by
intermittent intravenous injection, or by subcutaneous injection.
As the effects of heparin are short-lived, administration by intravenous infusion or
subcutaneous injection is preferable to intermittent intravenous injections.
Recommended dosage
Prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
2 hours pre-operatively: 5,000 units subcutaneously
followed by: 5,000 units subcutaneously every 8-12 hours, for 7-10 days or until
the patient is fully ambulant.
No laboratory monitoring should be necessary during low dose heparin
prophylaxis. If monitoring is considered desirable, anti-Xa assays should be used as
the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is not significantly prolonged.
During pregnancy: 5,000 - 10,000 units every 12 hours, subcutaneously, adjusted
according to APTT or anti-Xa assay.
Dosage reduction and monitoring of APTT may be advisable.
No dosage recommendations.
Treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism:
Loading dose: 5,000 units intravenously (10,000 units may be required in severe
pulmonary embolism)
Maintenance: 1,000-2,000 units/hour by intravenous infusion, or 10,000-20,000 units
12 hourly subcutaneously, or 5,000-10,000 units 4-hourly by intravenous injection.
Dosage reduction may be advisable.
Children and small adults:
Loading dose: 50 units/kg intravenously
Maintenance: 15-25 units/kg/hour by intravenous infusion, or 250 units/kg
12 hourly subcutaneously or 100 units/kg 4-hourly by intravenous injection
Treatment of unstable angina pectoris and acute peripheral arterial occlusion:
Loading dose: 5,000 units intravenously
Maintenance: 1,000-2,000 units/hour by intravenous infusion, or 5,000-10,000 units
4-hourly by intravenous injection.
Dosage reduction may be advisable.
Children and small adults:
Loading dose: 50 units/kg intravenously
Maintenance: 15-25 units/kg/hour by intravenous infusion, or 100 units/kg
4-hourly by intravenous injection.
Daily laboratory monitoring (ideally at the same time each day, starting 4-6 hours
after initiation of treatment) is essential during full-dose heparin treatment,
with adjustment of dosage to maintain an APTT value 1.5-2.5 x midpoint of
normal range or control value.
Prophylaxis of mural thrombosis following myocardial infarction
12,500 units 12 hourly subcutaneously for at least 10 days.
Dosage reduction may be advisable
In extracorporeal circulation and haemodialysis
Cardiopulmonary bypass: Initially 300 units/kg intravenously, adjusted thereafter
to maintain the activated clotting time (ACT) in the range 400-500 seconds.
Haemodialysis and haemofiltration: Initially 1,000-5,000 units,
Maintenance: 1,000-2,000 units/hour, adjusted to maintain clotting time
>40 minutes.
Heparin resistance
Patients with altered heparin responsiveness or heparin resistance may require
disproportionately higher doses of heparin to achieve the desired effect. Also refer
to section 4.4, Special warnings and precautions for use.
4.3 Contraindications
Patients who consume large amounts of alcohol, who are sensitive to the drug,
who are actively bleeding or who have haemophilia or other bleeding disorders,
severe liver disease (including oesophageal varices), purpura, severe hypertension,
active tuberculosis or increased capillary permeability.
Patients with present or previous thrombocytopenia. The rare occurrence of
skin necrosis in patients receiving heparin contra-indicates the further use of
heparin either by subcutaneous or intravenous routes because of the risk of
thrombocytopenia. Because of the special hazard of post-operative haemorrhage
heparin is contra-indicated during surgery of the brain, spinal cord and eye,
in procedures at sites where there is a risk of bleeding, in patients that have
had recent surgery, and in patients undergoing lumbar puncture or regional
anaesthetic block.
The relative risks and benefits of heparin should be carefully assessed in patients
with a bleeding tendency or those patients with an actual or potential bleeding
site eg. hiatus hernia, peptic ulcer, neoplasm, bacterial endocarditis, retinopathy,
bleeding haemorrhoids, suspected intracranial haemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis
or threatened abortion.
Menstruation is not a contra-indication.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Platelet counts should be measured in patients receiving heparin treatment for
longer than 5 days and the treatment should be stopped immediately in those who
develop thrombocytopenia. In patients with advanced renal or hepatic disease,
a reduction in dosage may be necessary. The risk of bleeding is increased with
severe renal impairment and in the elderly (particularly elderly women).
Although heparin hypersensitivity is rare, it is advisable to give a trial dose of
1,000 I.U. in patients with a history of allergy. Caution should be exercised in
patients with known hypersensitivity to low molecular weight heparins.
In most patients, the recommended low-dose regimen produces no alteration
in clotting time. However, patients show an individual response to heparin, and
it is therefore essential that the effect of therapy on coagulation time should be
monitored in patients undergoing major surgery.
Caution is recommended in spinal or epidural anaesthesia (risk of spinal
haematoma). Heparin can suppress adrenal secretion of aldosterone leading
to hyperkalemia, particularly in patients such as those with diabetes mellitus,
chronic renal failure, pre-existing metabolic acidosis, a raised plasma potassium,
or taking potassium sparing drugs. The risk of hyperkalemia appears to increase
with duration of therapy but is usually reversible. Plasma potassium should be
measured in patients at risk before starting heparin therapy and in all patients
treated for more than 7 days.
Heparin resistance
There is considerable variation in individual anticoagulant responses to heparin.
Heparin resistance, defined as an inadequate response to heparin at a standard
dose for achieving a therapeutic goal occurs in approximately 5 to 30% of patients.
Factors predisposing to the development of heparin resistance, include:
· Antithrombin III activity less than 60% of normal (antithrombin III-dependent
heparin resistance):
Reduced antithrombin III activity may be hereditary or more commonly,
acquired (secondary to preoperative heparin therapy in the main, chronic liver
disease, nephrotic syndrome, cardiopulmonary bypass, low grade disseminated
intravascular coagulation or drug induced, e.g. by aprotinin, oestrogen or possibly
· Patients with normal or supranormal antithrombin III levels (antithrombin
III-independent heparin resistance)
· Thromboembolic disorders
· Increased heparin clearance
· Elevated levels of heparin binding proteins, factor VIII, von Willebrand factor,
fibrinogen, platelet factor 4 or histidine-rich glycoprotein· Active infection
(sepsis or endocarditis)
· Preoperative intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation
· Active infection (sepsis or endocarditis)
· Preoperative intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation
· Thrombocytopenia

Your doctor or nurse will inject your dose of heparin into a vein either all
at once or over a longer period of time (usually via a drip). Alternatively
they may inject your heparin underneath your skin.
You may need to have blood tests if you are receiving higher doses of
heparin or if you are pregnant to check on the effects of your heparin
You may require a lower dose if you have kidney or liver disease.
To PREVENT blood clots in leg veins (deep vein thrombosis) and
blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism)
The usual dose of heparin injection in adults is 5,000 units injected
under the skin 2 hours before your operation, followed by 5,000 units
injected under the skin every 8-12 hours, for 7-10 days or until you are
fully able to move about.
During pregnancy the dosage is 5,000-10,000 units injected under the
skin every 12 hours. The dose may be adjusted according to your blood
Lower doses may be used in the elderly. You may need to have blood
tests if you are elderly, to check on the effects of your heparin treatment.
No specific doses are recommended.
To TREAT blood clots in leg veins (deep vein thrombosis) and
blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism)
The usual dose in adults is 5,000 units injected into a vein. This is
followed by:
• 1,000-2,000 units/hour injected slowly into a vein
• 10,000-20,000 units 12 hourly injected under the skin
• 5,000-10,000 units 4 hourly injected all at once into a vein
Heparin injection should not be given if you:
• are allergic to heparin or any of the other ingredients in your medicine,
(see 'What heparin injection contains' section 6)
• drink large amounts of alcohol
• are currently bleeding from anywhere in the body, (apart from your
normal periods which does not stop you being given heparin injection)
• have haemophilia (a genetic disorder which may cause you to bleed
excessively) or any other bleeding problem
• have or have ever had thrombocytopenia (a serious blood disorder
which prevents blood from clotting properly)
• bruise easily (fragile capillaries) or have lots of purple spots that look
like bruises (purpura)
• have very high blood pressure
• are suffering from tuberculosis (TB)
• have had severe skin problems resulting from previous heparin
• are about to have surgery of the brain, spine or eye, a lumbar puncture
or local anaesthetic nerve block, or some other procedure where
bleeding could be a problem
• have recently had an operation
• suffer from severe liver problems which can lead to bleeding into the
oesophagus (gullet)
• have bleeding into the brain.
Speak to your doctor before heparin injection is given if you:
• are over 60 years of age
• have any condition which makes you likely to bleed more easily
(for example a stomach ulcer, hiatus hernia, inflammation of the
heart, problems in the back of your eye, haemorrhoids (piles), a stroke,
cancer or threatened miscarriage). If you are unsure, ask your doctor
or nurse.
• suffer from diabetes
• suffer from excess acid or high levels of potassium in your blood or are
taking a medicine that may increase the potassium level in your blood
(e.g. amiloride, triamterene, eplerenone or spironolactone). If any of
these apply you may need to have a blood test before the start of your
heparin treatment. If you are unsure, ask your doctor or nurse
• have kidney or liver disease. Your doctor may decide that a lower dose
is necessary
• suffer from allergies or have previously had an allergic reaction to low
molecular weight (LMW) heparin. A small test dose of heparin calcium
injection may be given first.
Wockhardt UK Limited
Heparin belongs to a group of drugs that are called anticoagulants.
These help to stop blood clotting. Heparin injection is used in conditions
where blood vessels may become blocked by blood clots. It is therefore
used to treat and prevent:
• blood clots in leg veins (deep vein thrombosis)
• blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism) as well as for:
• the treatment of chest pains resulting from disease of the heart
arteries (unstable angina pectoris)
• the treatment of severe blockages affecting arteries in the legs
(acute peripheral arterial occlusion)
• the prevention of blood clots in the heart following a heart attack
(mural thrombosis).
It is also used during heart and lung operations and during kidney
The name of your medicine is heparin calcium 25,000 I.U./ml solution for
injection or concentrate for solution for infusion. In the rest of this leaflet
it is called heparin injection.
In this leaflet:
1. What heparin injection is and what it is used for
2. Before you are given heparin injection
3. How heparin injection is given
4. Possible side effects
5. How to store heparin injection
6. Further information
Your doctor will check your blood if you receive treatment for longer
than five days and may do other blood tests if you have major surgery.
Your doctor will take particular care if:
• you have an epidural or an anaesthetic given into the spine.
Taking other medicines
It is very important that you inform your doctor if you are taking, or have
recently taken, any other medicines, including those medicines obtained
without a prescription, as some medicines may affect the way heparin
injection works. Taking some medicines at the same time as heparin
may mean you may be likely to bleed more.
In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following:
• aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(e.g diclofenac or ibuprofen)
• dextran solutions (used to treat shock)
• medicines which may interfere with the proper clotting of the blood
(e.g. dipyridamole, epoprostenol, clopidogrel or streptokinase)
• cephalosporins, used to treat infections
• medicines called ACE inhibitors used for high blood pressure and heart
failure (e.g. captopril enalapril, lisinopril or ramapril)
• medicines that may increase the potassium level in your blood
(e.g. amiloride, triamterene, eplerenone or spironolactone)
• glyceryl trinitrate given into a vein (for coronary heart disease)
• aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g. gentamicin, amikacin, neomycin or
• probenecid, used in the treatment of gout
If you need one of the above medicines your doctor may decide
to alter the dose of heparin injection or the other medication. If you have
any doubts about whether this medicine should be administered then
discuss things more fully with your doctor or nurse before it is given.
Tobacco smoke can also interfere with the working of heparin injection.
You should inform your doctor if you smoke.
The presence of heparin in the blood can affect the results of some blood
tests such as thyroid tests and the levels of calcium or some antibiotics
(e.g. gentamicin) in the blood.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
You should let your doctor or nurse know before you are given heparin
injection if you are pregnant or wish to become pregnant.
If you are being given heparin injection bleeding may be a problem
during pregnancy or after delivery. Your bones may get thinner if you
receive heparin for a long time during pregnancy.
Ask your doctor or nurse for advice if you wish to breast-feed.
Driving and using machines
Heparin injection has not been reported to affect ability to drive or
operate machines.
Measure bar should be 150mm at 100% scale

Read all of this leaflet carefully
before you start taking this
- Keep this leaflet. You may need to read
it again.
- If you have any further questions,
please ask your doctor or nurse.
- This medicine has been prescribed for
you. Do not pass it on to others. It may
harm them, even if their symptoms are
the same as yours.
· Thrombocytosis
· Advanced age
· Plasma albumin concentration ≤ 35g/dl
· Relative hypovolaemia
Heparin resistance is also often encountered in acutely ill patients, in patients with
malignancy and during pregnancy or the post-partum period.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of
Analgesics: Drugs that interfere with platelet aggregation eg. aspirin and other
NSAIDs, should be used with care. Increased risk of haemorrhage with ketorolac
(avoid concomitant use even with low-dose heparin).
Anticoagulants, platelet inhibitors, etc: Increased risk of bleeding with oral
anticoagulants, epoprostenol, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, streptokinase, dipyridamole,
dextran solutions, or any other drug which may interfere with coagulation.
Cephalosporins: Some cephalosporins, e.g. cefaclor, cefixime and ceftriaxone,
can affect the coagulation process and may therefore increase the risk of
haemorrhage when used concurrently with heparin.
ACE inhibitors: Hyperkalaemia may occur with concomitant use.
Nitrates: Reduced activity of heparin has been reported with simultaneous
intravenous glyceryl trinitrate infusion.
Probenecid: May increase the anticoagulant effects of heparin.
Tobacco smoke: Nicotine may partially counteract the anticoagulant effect of
heparin. Increased heparin dosage may be required in smokers.
Interference with diagnostic tests may be associated with pseudo-hypocalcaemia
(in haemodialysis patients), artefactual increases in total thyroxine and
triiodothyronine, simulated metabolic acidosis and inhibition of the chromogenic
lysate assay for endotoxin. Heparin may interfere with the determination of
aminoglycosides by immunoassays.
4.6 Pregnancy and lactation
Heparin is not contraindicated in pregnancy. Heparin does not cross the placenta
or appear in breast milk. The decision to use heparin in pregnancy should be taken
after evaluation of the risk/benefit in any particular circumstances. Reduced bone
density has been reported with prolonged heparin treatment during pregnancy.
Haemorrhage may be a problem during pregnancy or after delivery.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
None stated.
4.8 Undesirable effects
Haemorrhage (see also Special Warnings and Precautions and Overdosage
Information). Adrenal insufficiency secondary to adrenal haemorrhage has been
associated with heparin (rarely).
Thrombocytopenia has been observed occasionally (see also Special Precautions
and Warnings). Two types of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia have been
defined. Type I is frequent, mild (usually >50 x 109/L) and transient, occurring
within 1-5 days of heparin administration. Type II is less frequent but often
associated with severe thrombocytopenia (usually <50 x 109/L). It is immunemediated and occurs after a week or more (earlier in patients previously exposed
to heparin). It is associated with the production of a platelet-aggregating
antibody and thromboembolic complications which may precede the onset of
thrombocytopenia. Heparin should be discontinued immediately.
There is some evidence that prolonged dosing with heparin (ie. over many
months) may cause alopecia and osteoporosis. Significant bone demineralisation
has been reported in women taking more than 10,000 I.U. per day of heparin for
at least 6 months.
Heparin products can cause hypoaldosteronism which may result in an increase
in plasma potassium. Rarely, clinically significant hyperkalemia may occur
particularly in patients with chronic renal failure and diabetes mellitus
(see Warnings and Precautions).
Hypersensitivity reactions to heparin are rare. They include urticaria, conjunctivitis,
rhinitis, asthma, cyanosis, tachypnoea, feeling of oppression, fever, chills,
angioneurotic oedema and anaphylactic shock.
Local irritation and skin necrosis may occur but are rare. Erythematous nodules,
or infiltrated and sometimes eczema-like plaques, at the site of subcutaneous
injections are common, occurring 3-21 days after starting heparin treatment.
Priapism has been reported. Increased serum transaminase values may occur but
usually resolve on discontinuation of heparin. Heparin administration is associated
with release of lipoprotein lipase into the plasma; rebound hyperlipidaemia may
follow heparin withdrawal.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product
is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the
medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected
adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.

4.9 Overdose
A potential hazard of heparin therapy is haemorrhage, but this is usually due
to overdosage and the risk is minimised by strict laboratory control. Slight
haemorrhage can usually be treated by withdrawing the drug. If bleeding is more
severe, clotting time and platelet count should be determined. Prolonged clotting
time will indicate the presence of an excessive anticoagulant effect requiring
neutralisation by intravenous protamine sulphate, at a dosage of 1 mg for every
100 I.U. of heparin to be neutralised. The bolus dose of protamine sulphate should
be given slowly over about 10 minutes and not exceed 50 mg. If more than
15 minutes have elapsed since the injection of heparin, lower doses of protamine
will be necessary.
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Heparin is an anticoagulant and acts by inhibiting thrombin and by potentiating
the naturally occurring inhibitors of activated Factor X (Xa).
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
As heparin is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and sublingual sites it
is administered by injection. After injection heparin extensively binds to plasma
proteins. Heparin is metabolised in the liver and the inactive metabolic products
are excreted in the urine. The half life of heparin is dependent on the dose.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
There are no pre-clinical data of relevance to the prescriber which are additional to
those already included in other sections.
6.1 List of excipients
Water for injections , Calcium hydroxide solution 3M, Hydrochloric acid 3M

Like all medicines, heparin injection may cause side effects in some
patients although not everybody gets them. These are most likely to
occur when treatment is first started. You should inform your doctor or
nurse immediately if you feel unwell.
Important side effects to look out for:
• Severe allergic reactions
Heparin can cause a severe allergic reaction with difficulty breathing,
a blue tinge to the lips, swelling of the eyes and lips or shock.
If you think you are having a severe allergic reaction
(see symptoms above) you must tell your doctor or nurse
• Bleeding and Bruising
Heparin injection can reduce the number of cells that help your blood
clot (thrombocytopenia) and so can cause bleeding and bruising. This is
most likely to occur within the first few days of treatment but may occur
later too. The risk of bleeding is increased in the elderly (particularly
elderly women).
Signs that you are bleeding more easily include:
• unusual bruising or purple spots on your skin
• unusual bleeding from your gums
• unusual nose bleeds
• blood in your urine (which may cause this to go dark)
• black tarry looking stools
• bleeding that will not stop from any operation site or other injury
If you are concerned about unusual bleeding you must tell
your doctor or nurse immediately as you may need to stop your
Other side effects include:
Common side effects (affects 1 to 10 users in 100):
• red lumps or red, itchy patches like eczema often develop 3-21 days
after the start of heparin treatment, where injections have been given
under the skin.
Rare side effects (affects 1 to 10 users in 10,000):
• raised levels of potassium in the blood, particularly in patients with
kidney failure or diabetes. If affected you may feel tired and weak.
• allergic reactions including an itchy skin rash, eye irritation, runny
nose, wheezing, rapid breathing, a blue
tinge to the lips, fever, chills, swelling
of the eyes and lips, and shock.
• irritation or sloughing of skin may occur
around the injection site.
Side effects with unknown frequency:
• loss of hair (alopecia) if heparin
injection is given over many months
• weakening of the bones (osteoporosis)
if heparin injection is given over many
• persistent erection of the penis
• abnormal liver tests
• the amount of a hormone called aldosterone may be lower than
normal. Your doctor can explain this more.
• high lipid levels on stopping heparin
Reporting of side effects
If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet. You can
also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme
By reporting side effects you can help provide more information on the
safety of this medicine.'
Measure bar should be 150mm at 100% scale
Lower doses may be used in the elderly
Small adults and children
Small adults and children will be given 50units/kg body weight injected
into a vein followed by:
• 15-25 units/kg body weight/hour injected slowly into a vein
• 250 units/kg body weight 12 hourly injected under the skin
• 100 units/kg body weight 4 hourly injected all at once into a vein
To TREAT chest pains (unstable angina pectoris) and severe
blood clots in the arteries (acute peripheral arterial occlusion)
The usual dose in adults is 5,000 units injected into a vein.
This is followed by:
• 1,000-2,000 units/hour injected slowly into a vein
• 5,000-10,000 units 4 hourly injected all at once into a vein
Lower doses may be used in the elderly
Small adults and children
Small adults and children will be given 50 units/kg body weight
injected into a vein followed by:
• 15-25 units/kg body weight/hour injected slowly into a vein
• 100 units/kg body weight 4 hourly injected all at once into a vein
You will have blood tests every day to check the effects of your
To prevent a blood clot in the heart following a heart attack
The usual dose for adults is 12,500 units 12 hourly injected under the
skin for at least 10 days.
A lower dose may be needed.
During heart and lung surgery (Adults)
Initially you will be given 300 units per kg body weight. This will be
changed according to the results of your blood tests.
During kidney dialysis (Adults)
Initially you will be given 1,000-5,000 units per hour. This will be
changed according to the results of your blood tests.
If you think you have been given too much heparin injection
Your doctor will decide which dose is best for you. Too much heparin can
cause bleeding. Slight bleeding can be stopped by stopping your heparin
treatment. However if you have more severe bleeding you may need
blood tests and an injection of a medicine called protamine sulphate.
If you think too much medicine has been given to you contact your
doctor or nurse.

2011 at Universal Studios Hollywood will veer from its traditional
movie theme with an
haunted maze that will draw on elements from the shock rocker's theatrical concerts and feature music from his 1975 concept album, "Welcome to My Nightmare."
Just like one of the singer's rock concerts, visitors to the
maze at
will encounter boa constrictor snakes, black widow spiders, guillotine decapitations, hangman's gallows and electrocutions inside a sadistic insane asylum.
Located in the
ride queue, the Alice Cooper maze starts in the abandoned home of Steven, a fictional character that appears on several of the singer's albums. The maze will feature several songs from the "Welcome to My Nightmare" album, including "Years Ago," "The Black Widow," "The Awakening" and, of course, "Steven."
Concept art of the "scareactors" in the Steven section of the maze include a blood-splattered madman wielding a chainsaw, a naughty nurse holding defibrillator paddles and an Alice look-alike wearing the singer's trademark black eye makeup.
The Black Widow section of the maze will depict scenes based on imagery and lyrics from Cooper's 2008 "Along Came a
" album.
In another maze scene, a man-child dressed in a infant's jumper with a pacifier and a bib will terrorize visitors in a toy-strewn room to the sounds of Cooper's 1973 release "Billion Dollar Babies."
The maze's horror movie-style soundtrack will feature a mash-up of songs from Cooper's albums, including 1971's "Killer," 1983's "DaDa," as well as a dash of his biggest hit single, "School's Out."
will include five other haunted mazes based on
"Hostel" and "House of 1,000 Corpses" films as well as the La Llorona folk legend.
Halloween Horror Nights will run at Universal Studios Hollywood on Sept. 23, 24, 30 and Oct. 1, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31.

Maastricht may not be a canal city, but its history and identity has always been wrapped around the Maas river that flows through the middle of the city and its tributaries. Centuries ago when Maastricht was founded there was only one way to get across the Maas. Today there are 5 major bridges in Maastricht itself. To the left is the St. Servatiusburg, the oldest bridge in the Netherlands and a beautiful, understated structure in the center of Maastricht. Built in the 13th century, St. Servatius bridge was repaired and updated several times over its history. Today it only serves pedestrians and bicyclists. To the right is De Hoge Brug ("High Bridge"), built in 2003, and the newest bridge spanning the Maas between the edge of the stadpark and the Centre Ceramique. It's one of the longest one-piece bridges in Europe and is also only open to pedestrians.

The Partly Sunny Frock Free Pattern
Added Feb 22, 2013
by grosgrain
Harrisburg, Penn...
I named this the 'Partly Sunny' Frock because the dress is just kind of bright and fun and whimsical but the collar reminded me of clouds. Hence 'Partly' sunny;-P
See more Grosgrain goodness here
The first dress is made with Valentine's red swiss dot fabric for the body, sheer white chiffon for the yoke and red and white piping for the collar and waist. The belt doesn't come with the dress. It's mine;-) Although I made the dress with the white piping at the waist so the belt is not necessary. But if you like it, you can buy it at Forever 21. It's ONLY $4.80. Seriously can't beat that.
To get an idea of the variety of this dress I also made it in a yellow, white and black color scheme. Kinda springy.
Material Notes
1 yard of main fabric for bodice and skirt
8" of collar fabric
12" of sheer fabric for yoke
3 yards of piping (four if you're adding piping to waist)
2 yards of bias tape for armhole opening and collar seam allowance
20"-22" invisible zipper
disappearing ink marker

Well, I add the piping to one side before I sew the facing on which makes it a lot easier. I also give a little trick to get a good corner in the tutorial.

Skip to comments.Adam Kokesh 'runs' for Congress; is an antiwar activist seeking to return Ben Lujan to the House?
Posted on 03/03/2010 6:53:10 AM PST by Sergeant Tim
Ben Lujan (D) -- Tom Mullins (R) -- Adam Kokesh (?)
Incumbent U.S. Congressman Ben Lujan (D-NM, 3) was once considered 'safe' to win reelection to Congress. Yet Lujan voted for bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed here for federal trial, the health care bill, Cap and Trade, and the TARP bailout. In the only recent poll, a Democrat pollster now finds Lujan's lead over main Republican rival Tom Mullins has narrowed to within the margin of error, 40 to 36.
Adam Kokesh running as a Republican in the primary against Mullins and his trailing Lujan only 40 to 32 are both far harder to explain.
Is Kokesh a grass roots fiscal conservative or an antiwar activist masquerading as a conservative-libertarian to deceive the people of New Mexico? Before voters there decide, perhaps they should review his multiple arrests -- including for smuggling home a firearm -- in addition to his anti-war protests while in uniform, anti-military recruitment actions, and travel to an allied nation to encourage U.S. soldiers stationed there to go AWOL.
According to the Washington Examiner, Kokesh was busted after his tour in Iraq;
He was supposed to go to Iraq a second time, but was demoted from sergeant to corporal and not allowed to return after it was learned that he brought a pistol back after his first tour in 2004. [Hat tip to This Ain't Hell.]
On September 1, 2007, Kokesh called for help from Veterans For Peace with an upcoming antiwar "die-in" in Washington, D.C. Kokesh was arrested there on September 6, 2007 for defacing public property (here is the video). On September 15, while 10,000 of so A.N.S.W.E.R.-led students "died" on the Capitol's west lawn, Kokesh was again arrested when he, Code Pink, and perhaps thirty more crossed the police line.
In mid-May 2007, Kokesh traveled to Germany where he and another Inactive Reservist brought an unauthorized civilian onto a U.S. military base. He then entered a crowded dining facility. Kokesh himself recounted the "IVAW German Expeditionary Team ... base action" and his reading aloud a letter from "the people of Ansbach" to soldiers there, many of whom would soon to deploy to Iraq:
If any of you should decide to leave the Army while in Germany and throw down your arms, the people of Ansbach will support you and do our best to provide you with aid, comfort, and sanctuary. We wish to build a new relationship between the people of Germany and the people of America on the basis of peace, reconciliation, and understanding. [Unfortunately, someone at IVAW no longer wants New Mexico to see the video they once so proudly posted on YouTube. Kokesh's Iraq Veterans Against the War post is reprinted here, his original post is here, and I have the screen shots just in case they decide to hide it as well.]
Two weeks later, Kokesh was back in D.C. acting nothing like a new-age founding father:
[T]he Marines have launched investigations of three inactive reservists for wearing their uniforms during antiwar protests and allegedly making statements characterized as "disrespectful" or "disloyal." Two of them were part of the guerrilla theater squad of 13 Iraq Veterans Against the War who roamed Capitol Hill and downtown Washington in March, clad in camouflage and carrying imaginary weapons, to mark the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war. A Washington Post story about that protest is part of the evidence gathered by Marine lawyers. ... Upon learning he was being investigated for wearing his uniform during the mock patrol, Kokesh wrote an e-mail to the investigating officer, Maj. John Whyte. The combat veteran discussed his service and his critique of the war, and asked this officer assigned to look into his "possible violation" of wearing his uniform: "We're at war. Are you doing all you can?" He concluded with an obscene recommendation about what Whyte should go do. This earned him the count for a "disrespectful statement." [Kokesh was discharged 'under general conditions'.]
Over the Columbus Day weekend 2007, Kokesh and six other students tacked up racist anti-Islamic posters around the campus of George Washington University with "Brought to you by Students for Conservativo-Fascism Awareness" across the bottom. GWU was "dismayed" at the "satire" to mock the sponsors of Conservative Awareness Week 2007.
Band of Mothers founder and Blue Star mom Bev Perlson has witnessed Kokesh's anti-recruiting and antiwar efforts:
I remember Kokesh when he brought a whole busload of members of World Can't Wait, ANSWER, SDS, to disrupt the recruiting station at 14th & I Street in Washington, DC. They ran around in circles out in front of the recruiting station that day yelling silly slogans against our Soldiers and the War. Their antics caused about 7 members of the Metro Police to have to stand guard out in front of the station for hours. How's that for how he disrupts the recruiters, the city and wastes our tax dollars. I remember Kokesh when he tried to stage a re-enactment of the Winter Soldier testimony of the traitor John Kerry days! We disrupted both of these events and the Winter Soldier nonsense was a debacle. Adam Kokesh is a phony who reinvents himself yearly.
Ron Paul can't let a denouncement of Kokesh by a Tea Party group go unanswered:
Adam Kokesh under fire on Glenn Beck's 9/12 site (updated)
Liberty candidates are under fire on all fronts. Even from groups that claim to be for liberty and the Constitution. On the main page of the 9/12 Project's website, and again in its New Mexico forum are topics named "A Traitor in Sheep's clothing trying to deceive the Voters" ... This is a hit piece on Adam Kokesh and needs to be slapped down. The thread on the New Mexico is worse than the one on the front page, but they both need to be countered. Update: For those that want to see what the attack is before going to the site, here it is.
We are writing to you to express our grave concerns about Adam Kokesh, who is aspiring to become the Republican nominee for US Congress from New Mexicos 3rd district. Mr. Kokesh has an extensive, and well-documented history of affiliations with radical leftist groups. In concert with these groups he has engaged in numerous anti-America and anti-military demonstrations and protests. Moreover, Mr. Kokesh does not appear to have any personal qualifications that would recommend him for serious consideration as a candidate for the Republican Party. He has a significant history suggestive of poor character and judgment, and he has notable incidents of direct activism against Republican office holders. [READ THE REST yet note The Daily Paul re-posted it from 9/12's site forum. The original is here.]
Retired U.S. Army senior NCO and combat infantry veteran John Lilyea writes, "I'm not sure that Kokesh doesn't think he's a Republican. The Paulians are convinced that they can change the party and I think that's what his real goal is." Makes perfect sense to me. Yet even if Kokesh loses the June 1 primary, he can register as an independent candidate, be on the ballot in November, and attempt to bleed support away from Tom Mullins so Ben Lujan returns to Congress.
I don't know Mullins from Adam yet perhaps voters in New Mexico's 3rd District will soon sort out the saints from the sinners in that race.
Do you know how they discovered he brought back an illegal weapon from Iraq?
He got caught with it on a University Campus.
Adam Kokesh is a Charles Whitman in waiting.
"anti-war", my arse! These people aren't "anti-war". They're pro-communist, anti-Capitalist, anti-US military! They love war and violence when it involves a communist overthrow or revolt. Their heroes are monsters like Mao, Che, Castro and Stalin!
I know that yet could not locate the link I have to support it. If you have it, please add it as a comment.
Here are some other so-called "anti-war" activists...

"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been visiting countries such as China, Iran and Russia as part of an effort to build a 'strategic alliance' of interests not beholden to the United States. He considers the United States his arch enemy.":
From CBS-News, July 29, 2006:
Chavez Vows To 'Stand By Iran'
After Oil Talks In Tehran, Venezuelan Leader Called 'Brother' By Ahmedinejad
"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":
I know. I was there. The photo linked to the "dead" I took.
Jonn, TSO, and the rest of the gang at This Ain't Hell have done yeoman's work in pointing out the sheer volume of evidence that this guy shouldn't even be elected dogcather in Bloomfield, let alone be the GOP nominee for the 3rd CD seat. He can TRY to pull the wool over the eyes of the powers that be in the NM GOP, but as a former Farmington resident, I can tell you from conversations I've had with folks there that they're not buying it.
Jonn was extremely helpful and supportive in putting together this post.
I'm just getting tired of these traitors always being portrayed as being "anti-war", as if they are pacifists opposed to violence and bloodshed when they are anything but.
Thanks a million for your brave and honorable service!
The author has a poor grasp of Northern New Mexico politics. It's a perennial Dim stronghold, and Lujan is the son of the NM Speaker of the House, so the patronage is in place.
Kokesh hasn't made much of a blip on the local political radar except as being one of those "characters" NM produces... and is pretty much being ignored except in small liberal bastions (like the UNM area, which isn't in the 3rd district)
I'm surprised by the amount of print he's been getting outside NM. His chances of having much of an effect on the race are about zero IMO.
I met this clown and his merry band of cowards in Kennebunk,Maine back in '07. They led ANSWER's march on Bush's house. When they crested a ridge on the parade route to see our banner "TRAITORS GO TO HELL", he went ape-sh*t. He charged a small senior veteran and tried to intimidate him. The old man stood his ground. Fortunately the Kennebunk Police Chief was 20 yards away and defused the situation.
Check out these Yahoo search results for "Veterans For Peace" and "Workers World Party":

I went to the College of Santa Fe back in the 60's when it was called St Michael's and had no women.
ANSWER, of course, was formed by the Workers World Party and Ramsey Clark's International Action Center. Their latest "anti-war" front group is "Troops Out Now". ANSWER is now officially controlled by "The Party for Socialism and Liberation". The PSL is an offshoot of WWP.
Probably around 150-160K. The College of Santa Fe closed temporarily last year due to budget issues, it's back up and running on a limited basis.
It's pretty much gone the the way of most small colleges in liberal towns.
Bingo, Tijeras. There's a few folks in San Juan County who might care about Kokesh, but those are fairly few, considering Mullins is also from that area, IIRC. Yeah, when most of 3rd CD includes places like Taos and Santa Fe, even Farmington's conservative bent isn't going to come anywhere near overcoming that. Bill Redmond was the last Republican to hold that seat, and IIRC, that was only for one term. Before that was Richardson, if that tells people outside NM anything.
Which to me seems odd unto itself, I thought DC had gun control laws at the time....
I know who both Lujan's and Kokesh's fathers are. No offense, yet you need to look at that poll again.
Between Paul's magic money machine and daddy, Kokesh will have campaign cash through Election Day. Kokesh is a anarchist leftist so he stills wins if Mullins loses on November 2. He'll make a difference in the race if enough grass roots New Mexicans remain fooled.
I don't see Kokesh playing well in Tierra Amarilla unless he gets the Reyes Tijerina endorsement. ;)

Marathon Oil Corp. Pledges $1 Million to UW
Marathon Oil Corp. (NYSE: MRO), celebrating its 100th year in Wyoming and 125th anniversary as a company, today (Tuesday) announced a $1 million gift commitment to the University of Wyoming to further improve UW's academic and research offerings in alignment with the needs of the state's energy industry.
The announcement was made during a ceremony at the UW College of Business atrium. Speakers included Jim Bowzer, Marathon Oil vice president of North American production operations; UW President Tom Buchanan, UW School of Energy Resources Director Mark Northam and UW Foundation President Ben Blalock.
"This kind of commitment goes a long way toward strengthening Wyoming's energy industry and will continue the University of Wyoming's leadership in energy research," Gov. Matt Mead says. "I thank Marathon for their investment in Wyoming and our state's future."
Marathon Oil's gift will be doubled to $2 million with funds allocated by the governor and the Wyoming State Legislature during the recent session. The matching funds help UW pursue partnerships, which will lead to the distinction of its energy programs in critical areas of strategic importance to Wyoming's energy economy -- areas that are essential to the nation's financial future. Through distinction, UW strives to achieve core recruiting school status with a broad group of industry partners.
UW's strategic plan for energy programs focuses on three areas: unconventional reservoirs, climbing the value chain and renewable resources. "Climbing the value chain" means adding steps in Wyoming's chain of natural gas production and coal production to mitigate boom-and-bust cycles. Research into renewable resources includes increasing efficiency so that such resources are more cost effective.
"This contribution to the University of Wyoming is consistent with Marathon Oil's focus on supporting key educational initiatives in communities where we operate," Bowzer says. "In this case, the community is Wyoming, where our company has had the privilege of operating for 100 years. We understand and fully support UW's efforts to advance key energy research activities in support of the state's and our industry's efforts to meet growing energy needs, while creating jobs, economic growth and securing our nation's energy future."
The partnership with Marathon Oil will support research into the extraction of energy resources from unconventional reservoirs. Research programs within the center include reservoir geomechanics and hydraulic fracturing, characterization and flow, drilling and completions, and improved recovery. For this research, the center will focus on increasing faculty expertise, research facilities and outreach. The announcement with Marathon Oil is the first of several public-private partnerships totaling $30 million that are being pursued.
Because Wyoming's economy is largely based upon natural resource extraction, this research has direct implications for the future of the state and its citizens. Significant new oil and gas reserves within Wyoming are projected to be discovered in tight rock formations, and incremental improvements to production represent major new revenue streams to the state.
"Quite simply, UW wouldn't be a leader in energy research and education today without the tremendous support of our partners in the Wyoming Legislature, state government and energy industry," Buchanan says. "Marathon's gift continues a tradition of collaboration between industry and university research to equip UW students with the state-of-the-art know-how required to solve the energy challenges facing Wyoming and the world."
Marathon Oil is once again renewing its commitment to UW energy programs, confirming that Wyoming's university is on the right track for the future of Wyoming and its citizens.
This support represents Marathon's second major contribution to UW. In 2008, a $1 million gift, also doubled by the state of Wyoming, was given to support the Energy Innovation Center, a state-of-the-art research and collaboration facility that will help the School of Energy Resources and its various centers of excellence realize their full potential.
The 2008 gift also supports the College of Engineering and Applied Science Student Services Center and the Department of Geology and Geophysics Rocky Mountain Field Camp.
"The important corporate partnership that UW has enjoyed with Marathon for years is now being elevated to a new level," Blalock says. "Marathon's leadership gift in this exciting new phase of UW's energy programs is a clear statement that UW is shoulder-to-shoulder with our energy partners, and Marathon has worked closely with UW in shaping the university's plans for advancing teaching and research in the area of unconventional reservoirs. Once again, Marathon is investing in UW excellence, and we greatly appreciate our Marathon partners."
UW is committed to the continued advancement of its energy-related teaching, research, and outreach programs through corporate partnerships. The goal of UW's strategic plan for energy programs includes commitments totaling $15 million from corporate partners to take advantage of the $15 million in state matching funds.
Marathon Oil Corp. is an independent international exploration and production company. Based in Houston, Texas, Marathon Oil had net proved reserves at the end of 2011 of 1.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent in North America, Europe and Africa.

Investment Tip of the Day
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRiP)
These types of investments are overwhelmingly popular and are offered by about 1000 companies and funds. Simply put, a Dividend Reinvestment Plan is an equity investment allowing shareholders to purchase more stock of the underlying company directly instead of through a broker which would normally charge brokerage fees. Once set up this becomes an automatic process and dividends that are normally distributed to the investor will instead be used to purchase more shares (reinvested) of that company. One can usually also make voluntary cash payments into the DRiP to purchase more shares.
So although DRiPs start out as stock-earning dividends on regular intervals, each quarter those distributed dividends are collected and used to buy more shares of the underlying company at no cost (in most cases). And as you gain more shares you generate even more dividend income which then is used to buy more shares. Again, this is an automatic process.
Virtually all companies who take part do not charge commissions for purchasing stocks through DRiPs. However because of its growing popularity it is becoming more commonplace for a nominal fee to be charged to purchase more shares within the plan. So make sure you are aware of these fees, if any, when joining a DRiP.
Taking part in this type of plan provides the benefit of compounding and price appreciation without having to wait to accumulate enough cash for a full share (they are bought as partial shares, if necessary). That being said, there are two kinds of plans: classic and broker. The classic DRiP is what we've discussed here. The difference between the two lays in how and when shares are bought. Classic buys fractional shares; the broker type does not. So with a broker DRiP you must have enough money to purchase at least a single share before it is executed. This approach is horribly inefficient which is why you should always prefer the classic approach. Questrade, a popular discount broker, offers both types. In the classic type you would buy at least one share of the company through the online broker and then opt to receive the paper version of that share(s) and then fill out a DRiP enrolment form and have it sent to be processed at the underlying company.
So in many respects DRiPs are more of a get rich slowly method.

CRESTVIEW � It was mostly out with the old, in with the new as three new members were elected to the Crestview City Council. Council President Benjamin Iannucci III and Charles Baugh Jr. were defeated by Joe Blocker and Mickey Rytman respectively.
Both Baugh and Iannucci are relatively new Crestview residents, while Blocker and Rytman are lifelong citizens, an issue that was raised during a recent candidates forum hosted by the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce.
In the race for a third council seat being vacated by Tim Grandberry, Shannon Hayes, son of the late councilman Sam Hayes, defeated Bill Cox to represent precinct 2.
"I know Dad is smiling up there," Hayes said after the results were announced.
Betsy Roy managed to hold on to her position as Crestview city clerk following stiff competition by Wanda Davis, winning by 24 votes after trailing by 32 when the first results were announced.
In Laurel Hill, Councilman Robby Adams defeated challenger Mike Blizzard to take the mayor's seat, which is being vacated by Joan Smith who ran for city council. She was defeated by current Council Chairman Larry Hendren and former councilman Johnny James.
Thanking the voters for their support, Rytman said he didn't expect to defeat incumbent Baugh.
"It was the first time I ever got out on the street and held up signs," Rytman said. "It was a good feeling to hear so many people blow their horns."
Hayes said he wants to get out and talk to the citizens "and see what the issues are." One of his first goals is to resolve the ownership issue of the alleyway behind the Alatex Building, he said.

Texas Equusearch finds reason for hope after devastating theft
Although still dazed by news of an alleged theft by a trusted friend, Texas Equusearch founder and director Tim Miller said he's starting to regain hope for the search and recovery group's future.
On Thursday, a benefactor met with Miller to donate $3,000, with a promise of $3,000 more if the group can match it.
"It was very touching and moving," Miller said of his meeting with Randy Hartley, a retired sales manager.
"I really didn't want to take his money," Miller said. "It's hard for me to do that. We don't ask anybody for anything. It's kind of embarrassing and humbling and all the other emotions that go along with it."
Asked if there was any time limit to raise the matching $3,000, Hartley said no.
"But he's going to get the $3,000 real quick, anyway," Hartley said with confidence.
Miller started the search and recovery group 13 years ago as a result of his daughter's abduction and murder in 1984. Laura Miller was 16 when she disappeared from League City.
Recently Miller learned that the man who was his daughter's boyfriend at the time of her disappearance, Vernon Armentor, whom Miller befriended and stayed in touch with, has been accused of misusing an Equusearch credit card.
Armentor, now 48, was arrested Monday and remained Thursday in the Galveston County Jail on a charge of credit card abuse.
Also this week, the organization suffered the theft of a volunteer's Dodge van, trailer with two all-terrain vehicles and search equipment inside the van. The total value was about $45,000, Miller said.
After getting Hartley's donation, Miller said he felt encouraged, although still saddened by the week's events.
"It's almost like a death in the family," he said. "It's a real grieving process."
Donations to Texas Equusearch can be made through the organization's website, txeq.org, or checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 395, Dickinson, TX, 77539.

BRISTOL — Two candidates for the job of Bristol Elementary School principal spoke with students, faculty and parents Monday at an open house at the school.
One candidate is the interim principal, while the other is a school administrator who flew in from hallway around the world. At the open house, Sandy Jump (the interim principal) and Roy Getchell discussed their strengths as administrators and laid out their visions for the school.

I came across this idea a long time ago, but I needed the result that uses it in its proof again, so I was curious about figuring out what in the world is going on. It turns out that you can make "-adic measures" to integrate against on algebraic varieties. This is a pretty cool idea that I never would have guessed possible. I mean, maybe complex varieties or something, but over -adic fields?
Let's start with a pretty standard setup in -adic geometry. Let be a finite extension and the ring of integers of . Let be the residue field. If this scares you, then just take and .
Now let be a smooth scheme of relative dimension . The picture to have in mind here is some smooth -dimensional variety over a finite field as the closed fiber and a smooth characteristic version of this variety, , as the generic fiber. This scheme is just interpolating between the two.
Now suppose we have an -form . We want to say what it means to integrate against this form. Let be the normalized -adic valuation on . We want to consider the -adic topology on the set of -valued points . This can be a little weird if you haven't done it before. It is a totally disconnected, compact space.
The idea for the definition is the exact naive way of converting the definition from a manifold to this setting. Consider some point . Locally in the -adic topology we can find a "disk" containing . This means there is some open about together with a -adic analytic isomorphism to some open.
In the usual way, we now have a choice of local coordinates . This means we can write where is a -adic analytic on . Now we just define
Now maybe it looks like we've converted this to another weird -adic integration problem that we don't know how to do, but we the right hand side makes sense because is a compact topological group so we integrate with respect to the normalized Haar measure. Now we're done, because modulo standard arguments that everything patches together we can define in terms of these local patches (the reason for being able to patch without bump functions will be clear in a moment, but roughly on overlaps the form will differ by a unit with valuation ).
This allows us to define a "volume form" for smooth -adic schemes. We will call an -form a volume form if it is nowhere vanishing (i.e. it trivializes ). You might be scared that the volume you get by integrating isn't well-defined. After all, on a real manifold you can just scale a non-vanishing -form to get another one, but the integral will be scaled by that constant.
We're in luck here, because if and are both volume forms, then there is some non-vanishing function such that . Since is never , it is invertible, and hence is a unit. This means , so since we can only get other volume forms by scaling by a function with -adic valuation everywhere the volume is a well-defined notion under this definition! (A priori, there could be a bunch of "different" forms, though).
It turns out to actually be a really useful notion as well. If we want to compute the volume of , then there is a natural way to do it with our set-up. Consider the reduction mod map . The fiber over any point is a -adic open set, and they partition into a disjoint union of mutually isomorphic sets (recall the reduction map is surjective here by the relevant variant on Hensel's lemma). Fix one point , and define . Then by the above analysis we get
All we have to do is compute this integral over one open now. By our smoothness hypothesis, we can find a regular system of parameters . This is a legitimate choice of coordinates because they define a -adic analytic isomorphism with .
Now we use the same silly trick as before. Suppose , then since is a volume form, can't vanish and hence on . Thus
This tells us that no matter what is, if there is a volume form (which often there isn't), then the volume
just suitably multiplies the number of -rational points there are by a factor dependent on the size of the residue field and the dimension of . Next time we'll talk about the one place I know of that this has been a really useful idea.

To be exact I find google translate a bother (since I use them 10-20 percent of the time anyway on one that I am totally clueless and mostly just to find the meaning of a certain word). Yeah, but is like you said those people that does it sure have a lot of tenacity or a knack for it. Currently trying to improve my chinese since I suck at word usage and stuff like the preview of ch1 sugar dark on baka-tsuki like this part from vol4.

This google translate service isn't meant to be used to translate a book. It is to translate a web page so that you can get an idea and navigate. The link to that translation is only here and at the Baka Tsuki forum and it had 130 downloads within a month. I guess the story makes them really curious and want to at least take a glimpse at the next parts until they have a regular translation.

Actually, viewing the post with the translation excerpt above, I am rather surprised how well that section turned out. GT must do a better job against Chinese than it does against Japanese. With equivalent sections from my raw transcript for Golden Time in Japanese, most sentences turn out bad, let alone whole paragraphs or pages.
Lest anybody think that a transcript of Golden Time in Japanese exists out there in public, as far as I know, no such animal exists. You can find scanned images of the pages out at JCafe, but I don't use those. I have the actual books, and make my transcripts myself as a sort of self-inflicted torment rather akin to what body-builders put themselves through. In my case, the purpose is to build up my linguistic neurons.
It helps me to learn the kanji.

It depends on each individuals I think for me I think that if you learn chinese you somehow kinda get japanese as a bonus if you study further.Still I am stuck at a bog right now coz I can't remember even the hiragana.

Well, it really depends on how much of the story the author has rough-drafted already. This happened with Toradora too, in that the anime was long done being broadcasted by the time the book series was finished. The result: the ending was slightly different.
The anime differed from the novels in relatively small ways until the last episode, which was quite different from the books.
Similarly, the Golden Time manga is different from the novels in tone, though not in the basic sequence of events. The main difference (to my mind) is that the manga makes Linda much more flirtatous than she is in the books.

Well, lemme see: it took me from early October 2010 to the end of January 2012 to tranlate the first book. Sixteen months.
I started the second volume in mid-April 2012, and expect to finish it before the end of this month. Eleven and a half months, in spite of interruptions translating manga chapters (Evergreen, Golden Time, and some others: probably 12-15 chapters in all). Not fast, but faster than before.
Up til now, the question has been: When will the manga pass you up? (Answer: Probably early in 2014.) Now the question will be: When will the anime pass you up? Given that the anime will probably "pass up" the books, the answer will probably be "quicker".
Who knows? Maybe a better translator than I will get involved in the project too.

First off, thank you so much rpapo for taking the time to translate the novels, I am really enjoying them so far.
These past few days have been so nerve racking since volume 2 is coming to a close.
Why do you have to leave it off on such cliffhangers? Specifically today.
Again, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to do this. I really appreciate it.
Right as I posted this you finished up volume 2.
You're the best rpapo.

Actually, the author seems to have a knack for leaving cliff-hangers at the precise ends of the pages. These last few pages have been really fun to translate, too!
I never knew exactly where she was going until the very last word.

ePUB, mobi and pdf for volume 2 are available at Baka-Tsuki.
Because there were some changes at volume 1, especially since the manga was released and inspired by it, volume 1 was updated with the latest changes.
For android users there are 2 applications:

thanx rpapo i just finished vol2 and it was great but i have a little critique over Banri who for me was selfish with Kouko because it seems like he threatened her to accepted him (as a lover not a friend) or she'll never see him again and he knew that he was her only friend so that was my only disapointment and i know Banri is acting like that because of his amnesia and the fact that Linda hide her past with him
oh and good luck with vol3

Jeffrey Scores First Career Goal In Victory
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – After a long bus ride home from Cornell on Saturday, Yale head coach Rudy Meredith elected not to have his team practice on Sunday or Monday. Instead, he put them through a short session about 90 minutes prior to Tuesday night's game against Holy Cross. Apparently, that was more than enough preparation. The Bulldogs dominated the Crusaders and walked away with an impressive 3-0 victory on a chilly night at Reese Stadium.
"We played better after practicing for 10 minutes then we do when we practice for two hours," Meredith joked after the game.
Yale (6-7-1) outshot Holy Cross 16-2, including 11-0 in the second half. Mary Kubiuk, Enma Mullo and Juliann Jeffrey scored for the Bulldogs, who were playing at home for the first time in nearly three weeks.
Meredith has been stressing the importance of scoring first in games recently, and Kubiuk made sure it happened that way. Mullo sent a ball forward to Kubiuk, who broke in alone, made a move on the goalkeeper and deposited a shot into the empty net at 11:46.
The Bulldogs added a second goal less than three minutes later. Jessica Schloth was pulled down in the box, and Mullo scored on the ensuing penalty kick at 14:13.
Jeffrey added an insurance goal midway through the second half when she banged in the rebound of a Becky Brown shot. It was the first career goal for Jeffrey, a freshman.
"I was very happy to see Juliann get a goal," Meredith said. "Jessica [Schloth] also made a play to get taken down, so our freshmen are contributing."
Ayana Sumiyasu started in goal for Yale and made two saves. Adele Jackson-Gibson came on for the final 20 minutes and was not forced to make a stop.
Holy Cross's best scoring chance came midway through the first half. Maura Fox fired a hard shot from 20 yards out off a free kick, but Sumiyasu grabbed it. The Crusaders (3-9-2) have now been shutout in six straight games.
The victory avenged Yale's 4-1 loss to Holy Cross last year in Worcester.
"I think we had a bad taste in our mouth from last year," Meredith said. "They beat us pretty good. Our players remember that."
Tuesday's game saw the return of senior Megan Ashforth, who missed six games with an injury.
"It was nice for her," Meredith said. "It was a good game to use to get her legs under her. We were able to ease her back into it."
The Bulldogs are back in action on Saturday when they host Penn. Kickoff at Reese Stadium is slated for 4:30 p.m. Pay-per-view video of the game will be available on Yale All-Access.
