The coming of spring

Friday, March 13, 2009

Little blackbirds sitting in the tree tops
whistling their lovely tunes.
Calling out their love for living,
and for the spring that's coming soon.
Farmers ankle deep, in wet and muddied fields
all cold and wet and lost.
Looking forward to the new horizons,
and for the sun to chase the frost.
All the fields are bare and empty,
and the new crops, can just be seen.
Pushing countless little heads life,
covering the bare earth with their green.
Meanwhile, in the lonely farmhouse,
where the stew is piping hot,
the farmers wife sits waiting,
for her farmer, tending crops.
And the sheep are standing waiting,
as are the pigs and hens and wife.
All waiting for the farmer
to come back to tend to life.
And as homeward bound he trudges
his thoughts upon this land.
He thinks of all the gifts he has,
and the life he gives, by his own hand

Blood blisters

Thursday, March 12, 2009

Blood blisters are a type of blister that is filled with blood rather than the white or transparent fluid commonly associated with blisters. Blood blisters are a rupture of the blood vessels underneath the skin’s surface, usually caused by some form of trauma, such as pinching or insect byting.

Like all forms of blisters, blood blisters form on the upper layer of the skin. They are the body’s natural response to pressure or injury. What differentiates blood blisters from other blisters is the fact that the trauma caused the blood vessels to rupture. Blood blisters are commonly caused by accidents in which the skin is pinched by a tool, mechanism, or heavy weight without protective gear. The only prevention in these situations is to use tools carefully and wear appropriate protective equippment.

Sometimes the fluids are cut off from the rest of the body and dry up, leaving behind dead cell material inside the blister. Some blood blisters can be extremely painful due to bruising where the blister occurred.

The most common area for blood blisters to appear is on the feet, which are particularly prone to blistering. This is often caused by shoes that do not fit properly and pinch or put pressure on the feet. Therefore, wearing properly sized shoes reduces the chance of developing blood blisters.

14 Things to Remember Before You Cheat

1. When presented with the ideal cheating scenario—that is, if a flying saucer lands in the cornfield where you happen to be standing and a female alien of sinus-clearing hotness slithers down the ramp and declares that she wants to come in peace a minimum of four times in the next hour, and you take her up on it because you know no one will ever find out—no one must ever find out.

2. Someone will always find out.

3. If you get caught, the law is on your wife's side. And you won't lose just half of your stuff. The other half—the golf clubs, the surround sound, the Armani—will be destroyed in a spectacular driveway bonfire as every angry woman you know toasts marshmallows shaped like your testicles.

4. And if you're not married? Your longtime girl is bound by no law.

5. Yes, traveling for busines is lonely. Phone home for a bicoastal quickie.

6. Or, to paraphrase Neil Simon, do to yourself what you would otherwise do unto others.

7. If a woman who knows you're spoken for comes on to you, it's flattering. It's tempting. But remember that she's doing it to feed her own ego, not yours. She wants to see how much power she holds over you. And if you take her bait, she then knows she must be superior in every way to your sweetie. Deep down, she has nothing but contempt for both your male weakness and your mate's existence. That should really piss you off.

8. According to the Shari'ah, the laws of ancient Islam, adulterers must be stoned to death. Before you say, "Dude, cool," we mean with rocks. In these parts, that's what will happen to your good name. Friends you made while you were a couple will disappear. Friends you had as a single guy are long gone. That leaves you with the hard drinkers.

9. You're about to be with the kind of woman who wants to be with the kind of man who would cheat on a woman.

10. Channel all temptation toward the girl you left at home. Example: When out for a night with the boys, go to Hooters, not a strip club or roadhouse. Hooters girls are the unsung heroines of relationship therapy—gorgeous, chatty, and so untouchable that you always go home hungry. Your gal has no idea her sex life will improve tenfold when you get there.

11. At the office party, pretend the coworker who's flirting with you has gonorrhea.

12. "I'm famous for all the wrong reasons." —Joey Buttafuoco

13. If your ex calls, enjoy a pleasant 5-minute conversation. Then tell her your wife's on the other line.

14. Treat your temptation as a cage match. Defeating that treacherous organ between your legs is the ultimate triumph of man over nature. It's you versus your penis. He's up for the challenge. Are you?

Reclast

Monday, March 2, 2009

Reclast™ (zoledronic acid) is a prescription medication used to treat the following conditions:

*Paget's disease of the bone
*Osteoporosis in postmenopausal women
*Osteoporosis treatment in men.

According to the manufacturer (Novartis), Reclast increases bone strength and reduces fractures in areas of the body typically affected by osteoporosis, including the hip, spine and other areas such as the wrist, arm, leg, or rib. Reclast is given by infusion.

The drug belongs to a class of medications called bisphosphonates, which also includes the osteoporosis drugs Actonel and Fosamax, which are usually taken once a week, and Boniva, which is taken monthly. All are in pill form.

Reclast is given as a once-yearly 15-minute intravenous (IV) infusion.



"Osteoporosis is a serious disease affecting millions of people in this country," says Leo Schargorodski, executive director of the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), in a Novartis news release. "NOF welcomes new FDA approved treatment options, such as Reclast, that give patients a choice when it comes to taking their osteoporosis therapy."

Reclast is not intended for patients with hypocalcemia (low blood calcium) and those who are allergic to zoledronic acid. Patients already being treated with Zometa should not be treated with Reclast.

Reclast should also not be used during pregnancy because of potential harm to the fetus. And Reclast is not recommended for use in patients with severe kidney impairment.

The most common side effects associated with Reclast are fever; pain in the muscles, bones, or joints; flu-like symptoms; and headache. These symptoms usually occur within the first three days following Reclast administration and usually resolve within three to four days of onset, but resolution could take up to seven to 14 days.

Some patients have reported severe bone, joint, and/or muscle pain after using bisphosphonates. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (damage to the bone) has been reported rarely in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients treated with bisphosphonates. A routine oral examination should be performed by the doctor prior to initiation of treatment, according to the manufacturer.

Reclast contains zoledronic acid, a bisphosphonic acid which is an inhibitor of osteoclastic bone resorption. Zoledronic acid monohydrate is a white crystalline powder. Its molecular formula is C5H10N2O7P2•H2O and a molar mass of 290.1 g/Mol. Zoledronic acid monohydrate is highly soluble in 0.1N sodium hydroxide solution, sparingly soluble in water and 0.1N hydrochloric acid, and practically insoluble in organic solvents. The pH of the Reclast solution for infusion is approximately 6.0 – 7.0.

Reclast Injection is available as a sterile solution in bottles for intravenous infusion. One bottle with 100 mL solution contains 5.330 mg of zoledronic acid monohydrate, equivalent to 5 mg zoledronic acid on an anhydrous basis.

Inactive Ingredients: 4950 mg of mannitol, USP; and 30 mg of sodium citrate, USP.

How To Make Flames Come Out Of Your Exhaust

Spitting flames out from your cars exhaurst may be against some legal ordinances, so please stay street legal and check with your local authorities before you experiment with flame throwing.

may be against some legal ordinances, so please stay street legal and check with your local authorities before you experiment with flame throwing.


First, flames coming out of an automobile’s exhaust is simply known as ‘raw fuel’ burning, or unburned fuel injected into the exhaust header that’s emitted as fire out of the vehicle’s exhaust pipe.

Second, there are several after-market flame throwing kits, which will have some easy to follow instructions on how to install. Basically here is how it works:

A module regulates spark and any partially combusted fuel is released to allow your vehicle to pass the needed gas to ignite the flame. The flame is ignited normally by a spark plug (which is normally pre-installed in most kits). Depending on your catalytic converter and its capability to control raw fuel, the size of your flame may vary in size.

Normally there are no major tools required to install a flame throwing kit. However it is practical to have a general knowledge of your vehicle's wiring system and equipment. Since there is some electrical work that needs to be done with most of these kits, it is a good idea to disconnect your vehicle's battery in order to prevent any electrical shock or damage to any parts. There is no tuning equipment involved in most cases. Most flame throwing kits include a simple push button control module for quick deployment of the flame. With safety in mind, it is always good to know approximately how far out your flame throws and know what's behind the vehicle at the time you activate the device.

With some flame throwing kits beware those additional parts that are not included in the kit itself, but may be required, such as ignition coils, spark plug, wires and fuses. Without all the necessary parts, your flame thrower kit may not function correctly.

Flame throwing kits aside, there are several homemade tricks known to also work for the same purpose. For example, attaching a spark plug near the exhaust end, attaching an alcohol ion at the exhaust end, and some even remove the catalytic converter and muffler and run their engines at high RPM's to throw flames.

Whatever your choice of style or product please be careful and keep safety in mind first. When done correctly flame throwing definitely adds to a vehicle's appeal and personality, and you'll be sure to catch a few eyes on the road.

Love as a duty is dead

The more you expect love, the more difficult it will be for love to flow back to you. If you expect love from someone the other will feel it as bondage; it will be a duty for him, something which he has to do. And when love is a duty it cannot fulfill anyone because love as a duty is dead.


Love can only be play, not a duty. Love is freedom and duty is bondage, a heavy burden that one has to carry. And when you have to carry something, the beauty of it is lost. The freshness, the poetry, everything is lost, and the other will immediately feel that it is only something dead which has been given.

Calling Angels

The more we call upon the angels, the more they can come to our assistance. Here are some ways to call the angels in.

Angels want to surround us, and they greatly desire to give us help. Our joy brings them enormous pleasure. Yet, they cannot help us unless we ask. A universal law that binds angels says, "No angel shall interfere with a human's life unless asked, with the sole exception of a life-threatening emergency. An angel will not make decisions for a human, but-when asked-an angel may offer advice and different ways of looking at the given situation."

So an angel may nudge you or encourage you, and an angel may create a miraculous coincidence for you. However, an angel cannot help you unless you choose to accept the help, because you have free will.

To ask for angelic assistance, you needn't conduct a formal invocation ceremony. God and the angels aren't complicated, due to their true nature of pure and simple love. Only our lower-self ego believes that spirituality is necessarily complicated, because it cannot believe that something so powerful and great could be accessible to everyone instantly. Yet, it's true.
