the male enhancer products never have been so largely sold, worldwide and abroad.

usually they are know to have a molecule named sildenafil
this is a citrate that is able to make things harder.

but it is really a shame if you need to use such stuff while you can do it by your own self.

melanoma treatment

2010-01-10T01:48:00.000-08:00

how to treat a melanoma?

For patients with Stages III and IV disease, surgery may be followed with adjuvant therapy. Ask your physician to explain the possibilities and grounds for selection of one treatment over the other.

A number of drugs that are active in fighting cancer cells are being used to treat melanoma, either one at a time or incombinations. Currently, Dacarbazine (DTIC), given by injection, is the only chemotherapy approved by the FDA. DTIC may be combined with carmustin (BCNU) and tamoxifen, or with cisplatin and vinblastine. Another drug, temozolomide, can be given orally. Unfortunately, to date, the response of melanomas to chemotherapy has been limited, but a great deal of research into new drugs and new approaches is being carried out.

Another class of drugs, based on a different principle, has come into use more recently. They are anti-angiogenic, which means that they prevent new blood vessels from forming. The reason this is important is that they cut off the blood supply that would otherwise nourish the cancer cells and enable them to grow. These drugs are still experimental and a good deal of research into improving and combining them with others is going on. Studies are underway with the anti-angiogenic drug, thalidomide, combined with the chemotherapeutic agent, temozolomide. Angiostatin and endostatin are two other drugs in this class that have shown some degree of activity against melanoma in preliminary studies.

The isolation-perfusion method is sometimes used as a palliative (pain-relieving) treatment when the melanoma is on an arm or leg. "Isolation" means that the chemotherapy is "perfused" (added to) the blood flowing through the affected limb, and no other part of the body.

Immunotherapy/Biochemotherapy

This is one of the most exciting and changing fields in medicine, based on drugs that act on the body's immune system. A number of newly-developed treatments are now being tested with some success. Among the immunotherapies, several types of experimental melanoma vaccines are now viewed as promising. Unlike the influenza vaccine, given when you are well to prevent disease, these are given to people who already have melanoma. Clinical trials of various types of vaccine are underway with patients whose disease is in Stages III and IV. The vaccines are intended to stimulate the immune system so that it reacts more strongly against a patient's melanoma cells, destroying the cancer or slowing the progression. These vaccines are not a part of routine treatment at this time, so patients with advanced melanomas may wish to discuss this possibility with their physicians.

Another type of immunotherapy (also known as biologic therapy) makes use of chemicals that occur naturally in the body. The one you are most likely to hear about is interferon-alpha. This is the only systemic drug with FDA approval, and it has been shown to improve five-year survival of Stage III patients. Tumor necrosis factor (tumor-killing) factor is another of these naturally occurring substances. Both of these — especially interferon-alpha — are produced by white cells (lymphocytes) when they come in contact with tumor cells, viruses or other harmful substances, and have been shown to kill a number of tumors, including melanomas. They have some anti-angiogenic properties as well. However, both drugs have significant side effects which can limit their use.

Lymphokines, which are chemicals occurring naturally in small quantities in the body, are being used for Stage IV patients. They may also be produced by white blood cells (lymphocytes) which have been specially stimulated by antigens, a basic part of the immune system, to make them better "killers" of malignant cells. The best known of these therapies uses the lymphokine, interleukin-2, with or without the addition of interferon alpha, which enters and attacks melanoma cells. However, interleukin-2 is associated with very significant side effects when given in high doses. This form of immunotherapy is still in the experimental stage.

schwartz bartter syndrom

2009-11-01T01:41:00.000-07:00

Beim Schwartz-Bartter-Syndrom (Syn.: "Syndrom der inadäquaten ADH-Sekretion" (SIADH)) besteht eine, in Bezug auf die Blutplasma-Osmolalität, unangemessen hohen Ausschüttung von Antidiuretisches Hormon (ADH, Syn.: Adiuretin). Dies führt zu einer zu geringen Flüssigkeitsausscheidung über die Nieren mit Entstehung eines unzureichend verdünnten Urins. Die Erkrankung ist laborchemisch gekennzeichnet durch eine hypotone Hyperhydratation mit Verdünnungshyponatriämie (Serum-Natrium < href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urin" title="Urin">Urins (> 100 mOsm/kg).^[1] Häufigste Ursache ist ein kleinzelliges Bronchialkarzinom im Sinne eines paraneoplastischen Effekts.^[2]

efavirenz synthese

Herstellung [Bearbeiten]

Die vielstufige Synthese von Efavirenz, inclusive der Racematspaltung einer Zwischenstufe, ist in der Literatur beschrieben.^[2]

Pharmakologie [Bearbeiten]

Efavirenz gehört zur Substanzklasse der nichtnukleosidische Reverse-Transkriptase-Inhibitoren. Der Wirkstoff bindet nicht-kompetitiv an die Reverse Transkriptase von HIV-I, nahe der Substratbindungsstelle für Nukleoside. Dadurch wird die katalytisch aktive Bindungsstelle blockiert. Es können nur wenige Nukleoside binden und die Polymerisation wird deutlich verlangsamt.

zollinger ellisons syndrom

2009-11-01T01:36:00.000-07:00

Zollinger-Ellisons syndrom är en ovanlig sjukdom orsakad av en eller flera gastrinproducerande tumörer, vanligen belägna i bukspottkörteln och ibland även i duodenum. De höga nivåerna av hormonet gastrin leder till en överproduktion av saltsyra i magsäcken vilket orsakar återkommande magsår och kan även ge diarré. Behandlingen är kirurgisk borttagning av tumören alternativt medicinsk behandling med protonpumpshämmare som sänker saltsyraproduktionen. Tumören kan i vissa fall sprida sig till lever och närliggande lymfknutor.

Duchennes muskeldystrofi är en progressiv

2009-11-01T01:18:00.000-07:00

Viktigaste symptomet är muskelförtvining främst i lår och bäcken men även andra delar av kroppen, i första hand extremiterna. Detta kan börja redan när barnet är nyfött men senast före sex års ålder. Problem med motorik, lätt att ramla, deformerade muskler, svimmning och förstorade vader är ett symptom som uppmärksammas före 6års ålder eller efter.

Den vanligaste orsaken till död är ofta komplikationer i andningsmuskulaturen eller hjärtarytmi. Vissa dör i tonåren, men medellängden är cirka 30år. Det finns även vissa som är över 50 år gamla idag enligt forskarna och framsteg inom forskningen har förbättrat möjligheten för de drabbade att leva längre.

Det finns ännu inget sätt att bota Duchennes muskeldystrofi. Fokus ligger istället på att minska de symptom som sjukdomen orsakar. Steroidhormoner används för att minska effekten av den muskelförsvagning som sjukdomen leder till. Lättare muskelträning kan rätt utförd motverka nedbrytningen av befintliga muskler. När andningsförmågan förändras på grund av försvagad andningsmuskulatur kan respiratoriska hjälpmedel sättas in. Ett vanligt läkemedel som används hos dom flesta med DMD är Kortison, det ska ha en effekt som gör effekten på muskelförsvagningen segare, men man minskar också risken att få skolios.

testing your erectile dysfunction

2009-08-01T13:15:00.001-07:00

Are you able to feel sexual power? Do you feel something from this picture? Popular treatments shown here.

Although I should add I do not recommend any of these and you always should look for a doctor in case you want to use that kind of treatment.

VIAGRA®, an oral therapy for erectile dysfunction, is the citrate salt of sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).

Sildenafil citrate is designated chemically as 1-[[3-(6,7-dihydro-1-methyl-7-oxo-3-propyl-1H- pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)-4-ethoxyphenyl]sulfonyl]-4-methylpiperazine citrate and has the following structural formula:

Sildenafil citrate is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a solubility of 3.5 mg/mL in water and a molecular weight of 666.7. VIAGRA (sildenafil citrate) is formulated as blue, film-coated rounded-diamond-shaped tablets equivalent to 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg of sildenafil for oral administration. In addition to the active ingredient, sildenafil citrate, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, titanium dioxide, lactose, triacetin, and FD & C Blue #2 aluminum lake.

Is soma an addiction? Do you need to relax?

2009-08-01T12:58:00.000-07:00

Disclaimer: if taken without control or the help of a doctor, this can become a very addictive drug and can cause real damage, so no action should be taken without asking a doctor first.

Carisoprodol is a centrally-acting skeletal muscle relaxant whose active metabolite is meprobamate. Although several case reports have shown that carisoprodol has abuse potential^[1] both by itself and as a potentiator of hydrocodone, dihydrocodeine, codeine and similar drugs, it continues to be prescribed in North America, alongside cyclobenzaprine. In Europe, doctors favor cyclobenzaprine due to its lower abuse factor. In the United Kingdom, benzodiazepines are preferred instead. Carisoprodol is a colorless, crystalline powder, having a mild, characteristic odor and a bitter taste. It is slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in alcohol, chloroform and acetone. Its solubility is practically independent of pH.

Carisoprodol is marketed in the United States under the brand name Soma, and in the United Kingdom and other countries under the brand names Sanoma and Carisoma. Carisoprodol is especially useful against various types of pain (whether or not related to muscle spasm) because of its analgesic-sparing (potentiating) effect on opioid analgesics. Carisoprodol is available by itself or mixed with aspirin and in one preparation (Soma Compound With Codeine) along with codeine and caffeine as well.

As of November 2007 Carisoprodol (Somadril, Somadril comp.) has been taken off the market in Sweden due to problems with dependence, abuse and side effects. The agency overseeing pharmaceuticals has considered other drugs used with the same indications as carisoprodol to have the same or better effects without the risks of the drug.^[2].

In the EU, the European Medicines Agency has issued a release recommending that member states suspend marketing authorization for this product. ^[3]

As of March 2009, carisoprodol is considered to be a schedule CIV by the states of Florida, Arizona, Idaho, Minnesota, Kentucky, Hawaii, and Washington State (not verified, WA still using DEA scheduling). Beginning in July 2002, Florida led the state movement to schedule carisoprodol when a state bill was passed due to an understanding within state drug enforcement circles that the drug was becoming more widely abused. Possession of the drug without a valid prescription in the state of Florida is now a third degree felony. The rest of the United States, excluding the above named states, falls under the DEA scheduling for the drug, which considers carisoprodol a non-scheduled chemical, meaning that carisoprodol is considered a general prescription medication by the federal government of the United States, with oversight provided solely by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ^[4]

How to be a bitch

2009-07-18T08:33:00.000-07:00

Russian women are bitches but I mean that in the nicest way possible! According to a recent article in the Telegraph, Moscow women are flocking to Moscow bitchology classes wherin they learn the art of being a bitch. "Bitchology" is, as described by instructor Vladimir Rakovsky, "the theory, practice and technique of being successful in a man's world," he said. "A smart woman gets what she wants by pretending to be weak." He goes on: "A bitch should be strong and self-confident but should remember to use feminine wiles, such as her attractiveness and, whenever useful, she should try to come across as a helpless creature." Class lessons include how to rub your breasts against an unsuspecting subject and how to striptease. Classes take place weekly at the Dubrovka theater in Moscow.

How to sit down correctly

2009-07-18T08:27:00.000-07:00

Arrange your legs in a position you can maintain comfortably. In the half-lotus position, place your left leg on your right thigh (or vice versa). In the full-lotus position , put your feet on opposite thighs. In the Burmese position, tuck both your feet together near your crotch. You may also sit simply with your legs tucked in close to your body, but be sure that your weight is distributed evenly on three points: Both of your knees on the ground and your buttocks on the round cushion. On a chair, keep your knees apart about the width of your shoulders, feet firmly planted on the floor.

Sit straight up but not rigid. Straighten and extend your spine, keeping it naturally upright, centering your balance in the lower abdomen. Chest back, stomach in. Imagine a straight vertical line through your nose to your navel Sway your body gently from left to right, until you naturally come to a point of stillness on your cushion. Tighten your "hara" the area about 2 inches below your navel.

Look to the floor about 3 to 4 feet in front of your body,eyes neither fully opened nor closed. If the eyes are closed, you might start to daydream or visualize things.

How to wear a flower in your hair

2009-07-18T08:24:00.000-07:00

Step 1
Part your hair on the left side and wrap two-inch pieces of hair around a large-barreled curling iron to create loose waves all over.

Step 2
Start a three-inch wide braid at your part and continue braiding down the length of your hair, leaving the ends out. Secure the braid with an elastic band.

Step3
Pin a flower onto the top of the braid. The flower should be directly opposite of your part.

Which carpets should you get?

2009-07-18T08:21:00.000-07:00

Cut and pile carpets are the best selling type of carpet. It looks more luxurious than other types of carpeting and resists crushing more than most other types of carpet. The four times of cut and pile carpeting are Saxony, with two or more fibers twisted together. Saxony carpets show footprints and vacuum marks. Another is textured Saxony, a carpet with a soft feel underfoot that is popular in family rooms, dens, and kids’ rooms. Textured Saxony absorbs tracks and vacuum marks better than plain Saxony. Velvet plush carpeting is much softer and level and although it will show footprints and vacuum marks, it often has the most upscale appearance. Frieze carpeting is highly twisted cut pile designed for high traffic areas, designed to last longer and show less marks than other cut and piles.

wearing the seat belt correctly

2009-07-18T08:19:00.000-07:00

The U.S. Department of Transportation is constantly reminding people that "Seat belts save lives." Statistics show that people who are buckled into a car are able to survive collisions at higher speeds than those relying on airbags. A person not wearing a seat belt is often further injured by the activation of an airbag.

Is it ok to swim on a lake?

2009-07-18T08:12:00.000-07:00

With summer upon us, we might give heed to yet another angry retort that is actually good advice. Whether in a lake or a pool, swimming has few equals--and it can be a lot more fun than other forms of exercise.

For those whose joints are telling them that their bodies aren't what they used to be, swimming offers far less risk of injury than weight-bearing activities. Moreover, the buoyancy of water provides an overall resistance to muscular activity that no machine can offer, without the possibility of overloading one's back, knees, or ankles.

How to whiten your teeth

2009-07-18T08:07:00.000-07:00

Many teeth whitening systems are available, including whitening toothpastes, over-the counter gels, rinses, strips, and trays, and whitening agents obtained from a dentist.

Teeth whitening is ideal for people who have healthy, unrestored teeth (no fillings) and gums. Individuals with yellow tones to their teeth respond best. But this cosmetic procedure is not recommended for everyone.

Find out if teeth whitening is right for you.

Whitening Systems

Whitening Toothpastes

All toothpastes help remove surface stains because they have mild abrasives. Some whitening toothpastes contain gentle polishing or chemical agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness. Whitening toothpastes can help remove surface stains only and do not contain bleach; over-the-counter and professional whitening products contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide (a bleaching substance) that helps lighten the color deep in the tooth.

Whitening toothpastes can lighten your tooth's color by about one shade. In contrast, light-activated whitening conducted in your dentist's office can make your teeth three to eight shades lighter.

How to make friends

2009-07-18T08:05:00.000-07:00

As stupid as this may sound, 3 of my bestest friends were made simply by going to them and saying, "Hi!!"
My first friend that I ever met was when I moved into my new house. I saw a girl playing on her swing set, so I went over and said, "Hey I'm new around here... Do you mind if I swing with you?" And we have been best friends for 9 years now!!! Just say Hi. That's all it takes sometimes!

how to enjoy the ocean

2009-07-13T12:26:00.000-07:00

Step 1

Purchase tickets at the main entrance. You can buy daily passes, but for a few dollars more, you can buy a week long pass. The week long pass is a terrific bargain if you know you'll want come back again during your vacation. The Ocean Center also offers annual memberships, valuable if you know you'll be on Maui multiple times during the year.
Step 2

Head to the Surge Zone to observe how aquatic life uses the waves to their advantage--for protection as well as feeding. Move on to the Tidal Pool area to interact with starfish, sea slugs and other tidal aquatic life; you can touch these gentle creatures, which will surely delight the kids.
Step 3

Observe turtles from above and below. The Turtle Lagoon provides a unique tank that allows you to see turtles from above the water and then descend to see their tank from the side so that you can see the turtles under water. You'll often find a naturalist there talking about turtles in Hawaii, so check the schedule upon entry.

how to use dvd with windows, and windows movie maker

2009-07-13T12:19:00.000-07:00

If you are fond of a clip from a DVD movie and want to add it to the slideshow you are making with your Windows Movie Maker, you may get into the trouble that the DVD format is incompatible with Windows Movie Maker. The following tutorial may help you out of the headache.

Before getting started, let's know something about Windows Movie Maker:

Windows Movie Maker is a totally free program that comes with Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Vista (also called Windows DVD Maker). Below are the media formats accepted by Windows Movie Maker:

Video files: .asf, .avi, .wmv
Movie files: MPEG1, .mpeg, .mpg, .mlv, .mp2
Audio files: .wav, .snd, .au, .aif, .aifc, .aiff
Windows media files: .asf, .wm, .wma, .wmv
MP3 format audio: .mp3

To import a DVD clip to Windows Movie Maker, you need to extract the clip from the DVD movie, and then add it to the Windows Movie Maker project. I'd recommend using Clone2Go DVD Ripper to perform the DVD ripping process.

fantastic four

2009-07-11T15:00:00.000-07:00

The Fantastic Four is a fictional superhero team appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The group debuted in The Fantastic Four #1 (November 1961), which helped to usher in a new naturalism in the medium. The Fantastic Four was the first superhero team created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist and co-plotter Jack Kirby, who developed a collaborative approach to creating comics with this title that they would utilize from then on. As the first superhero team title produced by Marvel Comics, it formed a cornerstone of the company's 1960s rise from a small division of a publishing company to a pop-culture conglomerate. The title would go on to showcase the talents of comics creators such as Roy Thomas, John Byrne, Steve Englehart, Walt Simonson, and Tom DeFalco, and is one of several Marvel titles still in publication since the Silver Age of Comic Books.

The four core individuals traditionally associated with the Fantastic Four, who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space, are: Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards), a scientific genius and the leader of the group, who can stretch his body into incredible lengths and shapes; the Invisible Woman (Susan "Sue" Storm), Reed's wife, who can render herself and others invisible and project powerful force fields; the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Sue's younger brother, who can generate flames, surround himself with them and fly; and the monstrous Thing (Ben Grimm), their grumpy but benevolent friend, who possesses superhuman strength and endurance due to the nature of his organic stone flesh.

wearing red high heels

2009-06-29T14:21:00.000-07:00

Every woman who has ever owned a pair of red high heels knows the opportune moment to debut them. Whether it is for a hot date or a morale booster when you are feeling low, red high heels can make the difference. As soon as the shoe meets the foot, an attitude change is apparent. The ambiance given off by the heels is one of confidence and assurance. Most women choose a party of some sort to display their new accessory, and when put in different contexts, the shoes can take on whole new meanings. When paired with a little black dress, red high heels devise a mission to find a new man, or make the old one jealous. They make a woman feel on top of the world, that she is the prize to be won. If at a regular party or bar, they make the statement: "knock 'em dead." When strutting through a party, red high heels grab the attention of surrounding guests. The guests' eyes dart from yours to the floor as they feel the need to check out your newest accessory. Red high heels bring out confidence in every woman. They make her feel sexy; they make her feel complete.

Typical finish for outdoor or exterior columns is honed while most indoor columns pillars are polished. Small pedestal column can also be used to make column table for indoor or exterior decorations. Round column is most popular although square columns and split round columns are commonly used as wall column decorations.

buying clothes

2009-06-29T14:15:00.000-07:00

Buying clothes can be one of the most known ways to raise your self esteem

I say this, because the concept people can make of you wearing something or not can be completely different.

It has been proven by studies that if you are in your regular bermuda and shirt or in a tuxedo, chances are you will get a better treatment in the latter.

Not fair, but who said life should be a fair or easy game?

I didn't.

How to know if staring is flirting

2009-06-13T14:35:00.000-07:00

Teenage girls always want to know whether that guy they saw glancing over is interested in them or just stretching their neck. It's an important question because if a glance means that a guy is flirting with you, then you need to react to this attention differently. Maybe he is not interested, or maybe he's just too shy to make a bold move like walking over to you and asking you out. But how do you know? You can find out more by checking out the how to tell if a boy likes you guide.

The first thing you need to know to find out whether the boy in question is actually flirting or not, is what kind of a glance it was. Was it a quick glance? Did he do it multiple times? Does he do it to other girls too? If he seems to only look over at you and not in other directions and he seems to do it often then this might be his way of showing interest. So how do you know if this is his way of flirting? You could try doing the same thing to him! Something weird happens when you immitate someone else's behavior, they tend to think of you as being more similar to themselves and they then form a stronger bond with you. So if you want to see if he likes you and if he is trying to flirt with you, you might try glancing over at him too. Remember not to make it a long brooding stare, you just want to let him know that you know he is looking at you.

If he immediately stops glancing over at you, then you should stop too. It either means that he realized he was checking you out and it scares him to think that you know that. Or that maybe he wasn't interested in the flirst place and he just got a bit weirded out by seeing you glancing over at him too. Just relax, if this guy is not flirting with you there is nothing to worry about. It doesn't mean that he doesn't think you're pretty or cool, it just means that he is not interested in you at the moment. There will be more guys glancing in your direction soon enough, so take it easy and get back to paying attention in class.

how to have a good garden, tutorial

2009-06-13T14:32:00.000-07:00

While most gardeners happily snap shots of individual plants and flowers the truth is that these are just part of the garden. If we were to zoom the macro back a little would we still be able to take the shot?

The truth is most gardens are not as photogenic as we'd like to think they are. Undeniably they offer us aspects which serve well framed by the boundaries of a lens, but most views of the garden aren't up to the standard which make a good photograph - by our own measuring stick.

The question then becomes, "How do I make my garden more photogenic?" - and it's a good question to ask. So, here are some thoughts to ponder;

1. Walk out into the middle of your garden. Then, with fingers forming a frame and one eye closed rotate on the spot looking at each "frame" as you slowly spin. You will notice that some aspects capture your attention while others may be fairly ho-hum.

Take note of the ones that capture your attention: what makes them so noticeable? Are there any focal points that demand further inspection? Is the aspect framed well by other structures?

2. Then walk around your paths taking time to stop at intervals and repeat the process above. Look back along the path that you just came: is there anything that tickles your fancy? When the path disappears from view does it entice you to journey along it.

3. Change your height. Drop to the ground to see how the garden shapes itself from looking up at it. Or, stand on a ladder and see it changes once you get above it.

Now that you've taken a photgrapher's view of your garden consider how it can be improved. In most cases the improvements are fairly superficial and won't require a major overhaul of your yard space.

the girls from oregon

2009-06-09T15:01:00.000-07:00

The Oregon City girls' lacrosse team finally got its state title.

The Pioneers completed a nearly perfect season with an impressive 23-7 victory over Lake Oswego in the Oregon Girls Lacrosse Association state title game last Thursday, according to WestSideLax.com.

Oregon City finished the season with a 19-1 record, its only loss coming to an out-of-state opponent earlier this spring.

Natalie Harrington had four goals and three assists, and Kaitlyn Harper added three goals and four assists to pace the Pioneers.

"We just pulled it together and realized this was the state championship game," Harrington told the Web site. "This was it. We've worked so hard for so many years to achieve this."

Harrington also was named the game's most valuable player.

Do you believe in christmas? some thoughts

2009-06-06T13:28:00.000-07:00

Do you believe in christmas?

It can be a blissful and happy time for Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus, families and friends appreciating each other and getting together, relaxing for the first time all year and simply stopping and smelling the roses.

It can also be crippling for those on their own, parents who are no longer primary carers of their children, the impoverished. The gross consumerism involved puts a great deal of pressure on society as a whole and I feel we’ve gone way overboard.

I have a beautiful tree however, decorated by my beautiful children and their grubby little chubby fingers. Putting the tree up is a lovely family activity - if for no other reason than they enjoy sparkly shiny things hanging on the tree and taking part in the process. Santa will be stopping by Nirvana but doesn’t bring much to our home because there are so many children in the world who have so little. We have donated instead to worthwhile charities. I do love seeing their cherubic little faces light up when they receive a gift though - no matter what the occasion.

When my children are old enough to understand what’s behind ‘Christmas’ and no longer believe in Santa, we’ll be celebrating the Summer Solstice instead.

the linux operating system

2009-06-05T19:00:00.000-07:00

Linux- sometimes referred to by the press as 'Windows NT's worst enemy'.
Wired Magazine once called it 'The greatest story never told'. This is a
perfect definition because the story behind Linux is indeed a great one, yet
it is unknown to so many people. Let's start at the beginning.

Back when 'Stayin' Alive' was still topping the charts, and Microsoft was
a spec in the world of computers, AT&T produced a multi-user operating
system and labeled it 'UNIX'. Throughout the years, UNIX caught on and
many different versions of it began to come out. A popular one, called
'Minix' (mini-UNIX) was available for use at The University of Helsinki in
Finland. A student at the University named Linus Torvalds believed he
could create an operating system superior to Minix. In 1991 he started
his new operating system as a side project, but it soon developed into a
full-time hobby until 1994 when the first official version of the
operating system was released.

You're probably now saying 'so what's the big deal about Linux? Isn't it
just another operating system?' Absolutely not! First of all, Linux is
released under something called 'open source license'. Open source is really
more of an idea than a thing. Linux is released with all the source code and
files that it was made with. This means a few things. Anyone who is good
at programming can mess with the Linux code and release his own version of
it. This also means that even though if you buy Linux in a store it will
cost money, you're not paying for the actual Linux itself. Your money goes to
the price of packaging, the extra software that comes with the operating
system, and technical support. The second, and most important reason that
Linux is a big deal is because it's a much more stable operating system than
Windows. It runs on any system; even bottom of the line 386's from before
Linux even came out. Programs running under Linux almost never crash, and in
the off chance that one does because of bad programming by the program author,
it will not take the operating system down with it. Another important reason
Linux is good is that it is secure. It is much harder to bring down by a
hacker than Windows is (for further reading, read the 'Basic Unix Security
Guide' by R a v e N at blacksun.box.sk). This is just an extremely short list
of the reasons why Linux is so great. For further reading check out
www.linux.org

This tutorial is for Windows users who want to migrate to Linux. This is
written for Redhat or Mandrake Linux (the two most easy-to-install and
user-friendly Linux distributions), but the information here will most probably
help you with whatever distribution you are using. The only problem with this
is that Mandrake and RedHat are relativley simple to install, and some other
distrobutions are much more complex. I highly suggest you buy Linux-Mandrake
rather than RedHat. Mainly because it is cheaper and comes with more
software, but as you read through this tutorial, you'll see more reasons why I
recommend Mandrake.

The first thing you're going to have to do with your new operating system is
install it- but you can't do that so quickly.

2.0 - Preparation

If you already have Microsoft Windows on your system and you want it to
co-exist with Linux, you are going to have to create another hard drive
partition. What a hard drive partition is a totally separate part of a
hard drive. If two hard drive partitions weren't physically part of the
same disc, they would be two different hard drives. Anyway, the reason
for this is that Windows and Linux are totally different in the way they
access hard drives and handle files. If they are using each other's hard
drive space the two operating systems can conflict and cause major problems
for your computer. Well, as I was saying, you need to create a hard drive
partition reserved for Linux. There are MS-DOS programs that do this, but
they are "lethal" partition making programs. By this I mean that while making
a new partition, they can destroy or at least corrupt files on another
partition. If you want to make a partition for Linux, without killing your
Windows files you need a "non-lethal" partition program. If you get
Linux-Mandrake, a "non-lethal" partition program is included with it (this is
just one of the reasons why I recommend Mandrake over RedHat).

Well with all this talk of partitions and hard drives, you must be wondering
roughly how much hard drive space you'll need for Linux. If you want the
complete system with everything, you'll need about 1.5 gigabyte+ hard drive
space. However it is possible to productively run a full Linux distribution
(there are "miniature" Linux distributions that range from around 2 to 35
megabytes, and there's also Trinux, which runs from two 1.44MB floppy disks!
Get it from www.trinux.org) to with as little as 150 megabytes. Trust me, you
don't want EVERYTHING. Linux comes with tons of software you'll probably won't
need. For example: Linux comes with a variety of network servers - a web
server, a Sendmail server, a telnet server, an FTP server etc'. If you choose
not to install something and then regret, you can still get it later off the
original installation CD.

a counter widget review

2009-06-01T15:53:00.000-07:00

Some popular free counters:

That's an interesting counter that takes the visitors from country, very useful, way better than the other traditional ones which only show total users...

map counter

That's a great counter by map from 24counter, if you go to the map, you can see the maps from google maps and the approximate locations where people clicked to check your website, very nice.

This one is cool too showing the current users and IP. However the downside is that this can possibly scare some users (The idea of knowing your IP number may make you feel vulnerable, although nobody would really be able to find you, unless with huge efforts that no one can do in real life) This one is not pointing to this site, but the soccer news site.

Feedjit - This one is actually my favorite with real time updates and flags, only drawbacks are that the last visitors list is kind of limited to like 50 or something, another bad aspect would be to frighten some users so I suggest putting this widget way down so only someone who saw your whole site will get to see it ;)
24counter seems to have one of these, but i cant seem to find the script for it, if you know how, please tell me :)

and

Hi Stats - this one seems to have all the advantages, even can be hidden, many tracking options, I am liking it a lot... both can be seen to the right side of this blog.

Take care and always remember:

legs

2009-05-29T18:33:00.000-07:00

Sexy legs should be displayed once in a while. They deserve to be shown off after all you may have taken care of them more than the other parts of your body. Beautiful sexy legs should be long and scar-free. They should not be kept under long skirts or loose pants. There are many ways of showing off sexy legs:

Wear mini skirts. Legs appear longer when the skirt is short, covering only about half of the thigh from the waist and exposing the entire legs.
Wear a skirt with a side slit. The slit allows your legs to be shown meekly, thereby getting admiring eyes to focus on your legs and wonder what is under that skirt.
Model your legs by wearing short shorts to interchange with a miniskirt. Go for a night out with this attire. Dance clubs and bars are often crowded with sexy legs and mini-skirts.

free huskies

2009-05-29T15:31:00.000-07:00

Free siberian huskies, don't let them live in warm countries since it's too much suffering for them!

The Siberian Husky is a Northern breed of dogs that typically have a wonderfully friendly disposition, neither people nor dog aggressive. Their height ranges between 21-23.5 inches for male and 20-22 inches for female at the withers, with a weight of 45-60 and 35-50 pounds respectively.

They have a very thick coat that needs little care and does not mat or require brushing except when they shed. Even then it does not mat but it is impossible to exaggerate how much hair a Siberian has packed onto his moderate sized body. However, every Siberian owner knows why a Siberian is never cold when they see their dog shed for the first time.

Siberians come in all colors, the most common being black, grey and red. The color of the coat may be distributed solidly over the back and neck with white legs, chest and muzzle or be distributed in patches--called piebald. If the color of the coat is "restricted" from the hair, the dog will appear white and have either black nose pigment or liver nose pigment depending on if the dog is a white appearing black or grey dog or a white appearing red dog. Eye color is also varied and ranges from whitish blue to dark brown. It is common to see dogs with different colored eyes or even having one or both eyes having swirls of both brown and blue in the same eye--the so called "parti-eye". No coat color or eye color is preferred--the important thing for the Siberian Husky is having the structure to run, the temperament to be a companion and worker, and the genetic health to be a sturdy, strong member of the family.

The Siberian Husky is generally a very healthy dog, not being plagued with many of the skin, hip or heart problems of many breeds. They do have a significant risk (the breed average is reportedly 15-18%, though it may well be higher because of the number of pet dogs not checked and sold from puppy mills and back yard breeders) of juvenile cataracts with onset usually between 9-15 months. Corneal dystrophy and PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) are much less common than cataracts but still inherited eye problems to be aware of. Hip dysplasia is reported by OFA to be at about 3% for the breed though again it is probably considerably higher because of the number of dogs whose hip x-rays are never sent in and because of the number of puppies produced by backyard breeders and puppy mills that don't carefully screen prospective sires and dams. Puppies purchased by such unsuspecting persons are unlikely to be taken in and have their hips x-rayed and a large number of dogs with hip dysplasia do not have ambulatory problems until they are older and then they might well be considered just "arthritic".

Siberians are usually very sweet gentle members of the family and the typical properly tempered Siberian is predictably good with children. They are not protective by nature so they will not bite your children's friends when they are rough housing or attack an unsuspecting neighbor who jumps your fence. They are nomadic and nonterritorial though, the flip side of their being nonprotective, and so must be restrained by being fenced or on a leash at all times. As they are extremely intelligent, they get bored easily and if left without a source of amusement, will create their own fun which is likely to be digging out of the fenced yard, re-excavating the yard and garden or removing the house siding. They do best as a member of a family that can accommodate at least 2 dogs. Siberians love companionship--they were bred to be members of a team--and can become destructive and depressed if not given the companionship their intelligence and nature require. Siberians love to run and can do so for hours so a second dog will help them both keep exercised by letting them run in an enclosed yard or field. Siberians are not hyper indoor dogs, apart from normal puppyhood energy, though and so make good indoor dogs, as long as they are not left for long boring periods alone.

While Siberians are extremely intelligent, this does not mean they are obedient. Most Siberians have their own ideas of what they want to do, well before you give them a command to do something, and will be on their way to doing what they thought of first before hearing your command. Siberians, like most Northern breeds, are difficult to make come when they are called and are likely to turn to you, after you throw a ball for them to fetch, and say, "you threw it, you pick it up." Experienced obedience people have made unbelievably well trained dogs out of Siberians because the breed is so smart, but the average dog lover makes too many mistakes in training this intelligent breed, such that the Siberian learns how to get his own way and teaches you to accept it.

Siberians, like all purebred dogs, are best purchased from responsible, knowlegable breeders that are producing puppies for the love of the breed and so they can keep something out of the litter for their own show or racing purposes. Beware of anyone breeding to sell puppies without evidence that the breeders are working or showing their dogs. While working or show breeders may have somewhat more expensive puppies, their investment in the breed, and hopefully knowlege, should motivate them to produce healthier, more predictably Siberian like, puppies that they themselves will want to keep and that you will have the privilege to love. Happy trails. Aatuk Siberians.

Flirting Dos and Dont's

* Although sometimes it seems that there are very few similarities between genders, some basic guidelines apply to anyone who is about to flirt it up with the opposite sex. The main goal of flirtation is to convey that you are interested in the other person without coming out and saying it (which can invite rejection and embarrassment). But it's worth restating that flirting doesn't have to be romantic at all. In fact, you may be better off just thinking of it as a good general social skill. These dos and don'ts will help you accomplish more with your flirting.

Flirting Dos

1. Do be prepared.
* This especially applies if you are going somewhere like a party where you know you'll likely be seriously exercising your flirting muscles.
* Make sure you're showered and smelling nice. This seems obvious, but an offensive odor or bad breath really tends to hamper your flirting abilities.
* Wear clothing that reflects your style and fits your body type. Dress yourself so you'll be feeling comfortable and confident.
2. Do make eye contact.
* This is one of the simplest and best ways to determine whether or not you should initially approach someone.
* You can tell a lot by that first moment of eye contact. Hold the contact with them for a few moments, then slowly look away. Be careful not to stare and look creepy... A smile or friendly expression can help avoid this.
* If they smile back at you, the flirting has officially begun.
* If you catch them constantly looking at you, that's a good sign you should talk to them.
* Retaining good eye contact while talking to them shows that you're interested.
3. Do control your body language.
* Body language is everything. The fact is, what you say is not nearly as important as what you do.
* Confident body language is the key ingredient to flirtation. You do not want to look insecure or afraid of talking to someone new.
* Standing up straight and keeping your head up are two basic elements of good body language. Be sure you look approachable. Don't cross your arms in front of you, and keep your hands from covering your face. Be careful not to keep your hands in your pockets all the time, and never put them all the way in.
* Mirroring is an effective flirting technique which involves making similar movements and assuming the same positive body language as the person you're flirting with.
* Be very aware of how your gestures and movements reflect your confidence level. Too much hand fidgeting can make you look nervous, for example. Just remember that you want to relax, and look cool and comfortable.
4. Do initiate converstation.

4. Do initiate converstation.
* When flirting, it really doesn't matter what you say so much as how you say it. Consequently, having an arsenal of witty pickup lines isn't really necessary or recommended.
* Often, just saying "Hi" is all it takes to start up a conversation.
* Making an observation (about something they're wearing, about the crazy party you're at) is a great way to begin. Try to think of something they haven't already heard 10 times that day.
* The more unique your conversation starter, the more you will stand out. The more you stand out, the more interesting you seem. Just remember that if you do decide to use a pickup line to begin the conversation, try to pick one that is appropriate, funny, and innocuous.
*

5. Do engage them with how unbelievably interesting you are.
* Once you've begun talking, your next challenge is to not bore them to death.
* Funny jokes are always good, but you can really be impressive if you show off your listening skills.
* Ask questions and bring up things they said earlier in the conversation. This shows them you've been paying attention.
* Don't treat it like a job interview; you don't need to dive in and start asking them for their name, birthday, hometown, favorite color, and number of siblings. Mix personal questions about them with funny observations about that guy doing a keg stand in the corner.
* Slowly reveal interesting and relevant information about yourself as the conversation goes on. Highlight things the other person mentions that you have in common, as this can be a great way to keep their interest and perpetuate the conversation.
6. Do use humor.
* One of the best things two people can share while getting comfortable with each other is a good laugh. Make them laugh, and make them laugh often!
* Be careful not to get too comfortable when joking around... Cross the line with a joke and you may never be able to recover.
7. Do smile.

7. Do smile.
* Keep the conversation light and positive and don't forget to smile.
* Showing that you're enjoying yourself will help both sides stay in the moment and know that nobody's getting bored.
* You don't have to look like it's the single greatest moment of your life. A friendly smile will do just fine.
8. Do look out for signs and signals.
* Keep an eye out for warning signs. If you come across signals that this person is not interested in flirting (or even talking) with you, make a swift and immediate exit. There will always be someone else to talk to instead of wasting your time and effort on someone who isn't interested.
* Some bad signals include looking around the room for what else is going on, turning their back to you, grabbing the nearest person in a desperate attempt to stop talking to you, and throwing a drink in your face.
* Also be aware of positive signals like open body language. Some of these are detailed in the gender-specific sections below.
* It takes some practice to learn to recognize all of the signals. The more you flirt, the more you'll understand what their responses mean.
9. Do seal the deal.
* So your flirtatious encounter has been going well... Great! Now would be a great time to ask for a phone number or email address (which can seem more non-confrontational). Otherwise you may miss a golden opportunity to see this person again.
* You could also give them your contact info, but doing so puts the ball in their court and you risk them not calling you.
* Once you have successfully done this and maybe even made arrangements to see each other again, make your exit. The longer you stick around, the more chances you'll have of blowing it.
10. Do practice.
* After all, practice makes perfect. The more people you flirt with, the better you'll get at knowing what you should be doing and what to look out for. Plus it's easy... You can practice flirting with people every day!

Flirting Don'ts

1. Don't take it too seriously.
* Remember that most flirting is all in good fun and just a way to meet new people. Most folks you flirt with you'll never even talk to again. Let's face it—that may be a good thing for some of those situations.
*

2. Don't act like a stalker.
* Surprisingly, people don't enjoy being creeped out.
* Things such as staring ominously, humorless flirtatious remarks, and saying you want to have children with someone after first meeting them are usually quick turn-offs.
* If the object of your menacing attention actually responds positively, you might be a bit weirded out yourself.
3. Don't flirt in inappropriate places.
* Flirt at your own risk in the workplace. If you do decide to attempt this, keep it G-rated unless you enjoy a good sexual harassment lawsuit.
* Use your best judgment as to whether a situation is conducive to flirting or not. It is generally frowned upon to flirt at a funeral, for example. Use some common sense.
4. Don't be arrogant.
* Confidence + humor can be a magical combination when it comes to flirting. Even a little bit of cocky humor can go a long way. But misjudge the balance and you'll come across as arrogant.
* Although you want the other person to get to know you a little, don't talk about yourself too much. If you catch yourself doing this, start asking them questions about themself instead.
* Arrogance is neither funny nor flirty. It's really just irritating.
5. Don't be too forward.
* Don't lose sight of the fact that you've just met this person. If you try to gently segue a compliment about the person's sense of style into a comment that they would probably enjoy meeting your parents before you get engaged, you're likely to see that smile fade into a look of horror.
* Although this applies mostly to the fellas, girls should know that coming off as desperate or overly aggressive can be just as unattractive to the male species.
6. Don't talk about your ex.
* The last thing anyone wants to hear about is what your ex was like. They don't care. Leave your exes out of it!
7. Don't be rude.

7. Don't be rude.
* Most flirting is done in public places, so inevitably others may try to join in on the chatting. Even if you're truly "in the zone" while flirting with someone, don't purposely exclude or shut someone out of the conversation. Acting rude won't impress anybody.
8. Don't overstay your welcome.
* Some quality conversations can last for a half hour. Some of them can last 10 minutes. If you hit a lull, it's time to decide if it's been going well enough to ask for some contact information, or if it's about time you moved on.
* If they begin talking to someone else and ignoring you, you can pretty much consider your conversation over.
*

9. Don't over do it with the cologne/perfume.
* Yes, you want to smell nice. No, you don't want your skin glistening with aftershave when you approach someone new. A true friend will help you learn the art of scented subtlety.
10. Don't keep trying with someone who just isn't interested.
* Sometimes you just need to cut your losses. If they're playing hard to get when you first meet them, they're probably not playing at all.
* It's really not worth your time to go after someone who doesn't appreciate your advances. Try not to test the line between persistence and restraining order.
11. Don't flirt with someone you shouldn't be flirting with.
* Other people's significant others should be considered off limits. Seems obvious, right?
* Sure, sometimes you won't know if they're in a relationship. But as soon as you establish that they have a boyfriend/girlfriend, you'll probably want to knock it off or risk being knocked out.
* This goes double for husbands and wives.
* If their boyfriend/girlfriend comes up in conversation, don't be rude and immediately storm off in frustration. Either keep flirting in friend-mode or politely excuse yourself at an appropriate time.
* Flirting with your boss or any professional superior is not the best idea, no matter how much you want that raise.

Flirting by Gender

* If you feel like you have a pretty good handle on the fundamentals of flirting, it's about time you got into some more detail to really fine-tune your courting ritual (and recognize when someone is flirting with you). It's about this time that the specifics start to depend on the gender you're dealing with. Read on for a few pointers.

Tips for Girls

1. Look nice.
* Guys tend to be a little more visually-oriented than girls. You don't have to overdo it, but you should be conscious of your appearance.
*

2. Smile!
* We did already go over this, but it's very important to look genuine and approachable instead of cold and nasty. Otherwise the flirting may never even begin.
3. Be yourself.
* Don't try to dumb it down. Most guys would rather talk to a girl who can actually carry on a conversation.
* Don't try too hard. Just be yourself and be friendly!
4. Give the right signals.
* Play with your hair, laugh at his jokes, bat your eyelashes, touch his arm. Giving signals that you're interested and enjoying yourself will encourage the flirting to continue, possibly to the next level.
5. If you're into it, go for it.
* In this day and age, it's not always up to the guy to make a move. Especially if you are dealing with a shy person, it's perfectly acceptable for you to initiate the next step in the flirting process.
6. Don't flirt with someone you're not interested in.
* Guys often mistake regular friendliness for romantic flirting. If you're not interested in someone, flirting with them will only lead them on and possibly create an awkward scene later (even if you thought you gave some pretty obvious signals).

Tips for Guys

1. Listen!
* It's true, we already went over this before. But this is extremely important for the gender that's most listening-challenged.
* Listen for key words and phrases that she says that you can bring up later or ask questions about to keep the conversation going.
* Listen for open-ended questions that may be a set-up to ask her out. This can work with common interests ("do you like mini golfing?") and especially anything having to do with dinner, movies, or other date-like activities.
* Because listening can be so difficult for guys, she will notice if you do it well.
2. Keep relaxed body language.
* Lean back instead of in when talking to her. You want to come off as confident and relaxed, not desperate and needy.
3. Be naughty and nice.
* Mixing the occasional compliment with playful teasing can keep her guessing what you'll say next.
* Keep your sense of humor in full force. Just insulting her will end your flirting before it's begun. The idea is to add an element of mystery and unexpectedness.
* Simply gushing over her with a steady stream of compliments can actually make you seem desperate.

4. Add up the signs.
* Math may not be your strong suit, but you can't take any one signal as your guaranteed ticket in. Women tend to be naturally flirtatious, and men often mistake friendliness for romantic interest. Also, some signals may be a false alarm (crossing her arms could just mean she's cold). Therefore, you need to assess as many signals as you possibly can in order to establish whether she is interested or not.
* Some positive signals include:
1. Constant eye contact with dilated pupils
2. Touching your arm or leg during conversation
3. Crossing her leg towards you
4. Playing with her hair
5. Hearty laughter at your jokes
6. Eyelash batting
7. Compliments
* Some negative signals include:
1. Crossing her arms
2. Not retaining eye contact/looking distant or uninterested
3. Leaning away when you lean in, or turning her body away
4. Constantly repeating how great her boyfriend is (some guys just don't get the hint)
5. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
* The only true way to guarantee that nothing will come from your attempt at flirting is to not flirt at all.

Conclusion

* You can talk all day about the concepts and principles of flirting, but nothing will help you more than going out and doing it. This page should give you a great place to start from, but eventually you will learn to recognize even more signals and develop your own flirting style. If you ever need to brush up, read through this page until you internalize it a bit better. Now get out there and have some fun!

up to some real content now :))

My friends tell me that everyone can get a job in China these days. They say that even the beggars with one arm or one leg can find work. That got me thinking. There are alot of jobs in China but many of them are ‘lines of work’ that I would not wish upon my worst enemy. Here is my Top 10 list of the worst jobs in China:

1. The people who have to stand on the sidewalks for hours trying to shove advertisements into the hands of weary passersby. According to my friends, they get little money and work long hours.
2. The workers who sift through mountains of garbage all day looking for ‘treasures’ that they can sell to recycling factories. While I do not envy their ’stinky’ job, I do appreciate what they do. I can only imagine what the streets would be like without their services.
3. China’s construction workers who work through the night in dangerous conditions to make a building shoot up like a ‘magic beanstalk.’ I was watching a worker yesterday standing on a rather shaky bamboo scaffolding. I admire their work but do not envy their profession.
4. Salespeople who work in malls, shops, and on the streets across China. These jobs are exhausting and thankless yet most of these hard working people seem always to be able to muster a smile for their customers and clients.
5. Security guards in China who spend hours every day standing and staring at people as they walk in and out of buildings. This has go to be one of those jobs where the time drags by endlessly. I’ve never seen a security guard using an MP3 player. Have you?
6. Bus drivers who circle around the city all day for relatively low pay and even lower appreciation. These drivers have to maneuver their way in and out of traffic and constantly watch out for the little guy (idiot bikers and motorcyclists who cut in front of them near bus stops).

7. Underground church ministers who risk their freedom and reputation to spread the Gospel to millions of Chinese people. These brave men and women may not consider their jobs as “bad”, but I mention them here because their jobs are low pay and fraught with danger.
8. The thousands of traffic police in China who have to physically hold pedestrians back from crossing streets when cars are zooming by. The same police officers often have to also put themselves in front of cars when there are pedestrians crossing the street. No one seems to listen to them.
9. The China ‘delivery men’ who carry heavy items such as containers of water, construction materials, and all sorts of other ‘odds and ends’ on their bikes for dirt cheap pay. They will dash up 7 flights of stairs with 50 pounds on their back or in their arms just to get it there a little quicker.
10. And for good measure, I have to mention the thousands of young men and women who serve as assistants to foreigners in English schools and training centers across China. Time and time again, I have seen these assistants being berated by foreigners who think that they own the school if not the country. It takes guts to work with foreigners in China.

news from antananarivo

2009-04-27T17:53:00.000-07:00

By Alain Iloniaina

Antananarivo - Ousted Madagascar leader Marc Ravalomanana has rejected sharing power with the new army-backed president in a move likely to entrench the deadlock between the two camps.

Tensions have heightened this week on the Indian Ocean island as pro-Ravalomanana supporters defied a government ban on public protests and continued their attempts to hold near-daily gatherings in the capital Antananarivo.

"They broke the law and carried out a coup d'etat that was condemned by the entire international community," Ravalomanana said in a statement late on Wednesday.

Last week, he said that he was open to sharing power with Andry Rajoelina, Africa's youngest president, who has accused Ravalomanana of being a dictator.
