JB: Taking offense at something which should not be offensive to the person taking the offense. ("Anyone who wears a red sweater is an idiot." "Hey! I have never worn a red sweater in my life, and I resent being called an idiot!") (11/02/04) JB: Most complaints about violated continuity tend to come from people who don't really have a grasp on the continuity they claim is being violated. It's that whole "Since I Started Reading..." Syndrome about which I have made many previous comments.

No, we do not. In 1988, a definitive study by Straus, et al., in the News England Journal of Medicine (Vol. 319, No. 26, pages 1692-1698) showed no link between Epstein-Barr virus and "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." To date, no infectious agent has been substantially shown to be the cause of "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." Hence, we do not follow patients with this disorder in our clinic.

When large amounts of high-calorie foods (especially those containing sugar) pass quickly from the stomach pouch into the intestine, fluid rushes into the small intestine to dilute the high concentration of sugar. The patient may feel faint, break out in a cold sweat, and have intestinal cramps followed by diarrhea. Fortunately, "dumping syndrome" can be averted simply by the patient avoiding high intakes of sweets.

quot;Poland" does not refer to the nation but to Sir Alfred Poland, a 19th-century British surgeon. Born in 1822 in London, he became Demonstrator in Anatomy in 1839 at Guy's Hospital. There he dissected the body of a deceased convict named George Elt whom he reported had "Deficiency of the pectoral muscles" (Guy's Hosp. Rep. 6:191, 1841). Poland became a celebrated surgeon and ophthalmologist but had to retire in 1867 due to a chronic cough.

JB: Too many fans today consider themselves far too hip and a-go-go to ever go along with the most basic conceit of serial fiction: that the main characters will survive, but we will pretend, for the sake of this story, that that is not a given. When I was a lad, I worried every time Superman fell into a kryptonite death trap.

JB: Characters "cleaning up their act" as they become more popular, as with Mickey Mouse no longer feeding cats' tails into sausage grinders, or Superman and Batman no longer killing the bad guys. (11/02/04)

JB: New writers and/or editors thinking being assigned to a title or character is a mandate to blow everything up and start from scratch. (Applied facetiously, since this is usually done without a fraction of the time spent working out what was done in MoS.) (11/02/04)

JB: Adding unnecessary details which complicate a character's backstory. This comes, of course, from the bottled city of Kandor, which used to reside in Superman's Fortress of Solitude, making it necessary, every time Superman visited the Fortress, to spend a coupe of panels explaining what Kandor was.

JB: Having set out to be "shocking", being compelled to keep upping the ante in order to remain "shocking." (11/02/04)

Once people start telling other people how to think, what to think, when to think, there will grow up among the "tellers" those who consider themselves to be "experts" on the subject -- and once that happens, it takes a particularly strong intellect to avoid the next step, when the expert's role ceases to be that of expanding human knowledge, and becomes, instead, all about protecting the area of his expertise. I have dubbed it "Expert Syndrome". (11/02/04)

JB: A lot of fans suffer from Taxpayer Syndrome. You know how that works -- people thus afflicted are the ones you hear telling cops they cannot give them a parking ticket because they (the taxpayer) "pay" the cops' salary. (11/02/04) JB: Editorial. It was realized that killing off such an important, cornerstone character was a mistake -- the same mistake DC had made a couple of decades earlier, when they killed off Alfred and then realized the Batbooks did not work properly without him.

The idea some people can be coaxed or fooled into "remembering" events that never happened has become the platform for some groups to diminish claims of childhood sexual abuse that surface sometimes during psychotherapy or hypnotherapy. It seems that the False Memory Syndrome Institute was created by parents facing charges of abuse by their adult offspring who had undergone therapy.

For a long time now I have gotten asked where I found this particular piece of clothing from, so I thought I would share it here so you can download and use it yourself. The sweater was made by Tiramisu and can be found on the Simply Styling website.

Rose colors are very difficult to identify sometimes. Blossom colors can vary depending on air temperature and age of the blossom. And what may look red to you on your computer monitor may actually be more of a purple red in real life. So, to help standardize colors, the American Rose society identified 18 official color classes, which we use in our color descriptions of roses.

You can't delete meetings proposed by someone else but you can hide "refused" meetings as follows: On the Display screen, lower right corner you will see a checkbox for Refused Meetings below Display/Print... Click to remove the checkmark, and all meetings you decline will no longer be displayed on your agenda.

Here is what we know and have read: the smell of "vinegar" from film is not good. The "Vinegar smell" is the result of chemical reactions that occur between water (moisture), cellulose, and acetic acid. When acetate based film begins to break down, or comes in contact with water, acetic acid is formed, and this is what causes the smell (not vinegar).

Sick Building Syndrome is diagnosed when an excess of work related irritations of the skin and mucous membranes and other symptoms, including headache, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, are reported by workers in modern office buildings. The symptoms can be clinically defined and have clearly identifiable causes. This could lead to lowered worker moral, increased health care costs, and the loss of revenue associated with lower worker productivity.

It is a mixture of 85 percent water, 10 percent fertilizer (ammonia phosphate and sulfate ions), and 5 percent minor ingredients (iron oxide for color, clay, or bentonite). It works by coating fuels with moisture and it is dropped from aircraft. It is non-toxic to humans. However, it may be harmful to pets if swallowed (fertilizer poisoning). The slurry may stain, so it should be washed off structures to prevent darkening of colors. See Information on Fire Retardant.

The red "Wash Cell" light is set off by a high amperage sensor. It is not necessary to wait for the red light before cleaning the collector cell. Very dirty collector cells or arcing will set off the red "Wash Light" cell, but Oreck recommends cleaning the cell on a regular scheduled basis (typically every two months or as desired) before the light goes off.

The Red Cross Book is a coined term for the The End of Evangelion theatrical film program, sold in Japan in theaters during the showings of The End of Evangelion. This book, that is entirely black except for a large red cross stamped across the front (hence the name), gives production notes and contains a very interesting Glossary section which defines and explains various terms and people mentioned throughout Evangelion.
