Human Papillomavirus: The Basics
March 2003
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Genital Warts (Condyloma Acuminata)When genital warts first appear, they may be small pink or red bumps on the vulva, cervix, or anus or immediately surrounding skin. They are usually painless, but may cause itching, burning or slight bleeding. Genital warts can be found on the urethra, anus, inside the vagina, or on the cervix.
Genital warts can be frustrating to treat, as some will disappear on their own, while others may not, even with treatment. There is no magic treatment for genital warts, and several methods may be tried depending on where, how large and how many warts have been there. Early detection and treatment is important as it makes it easier to get rid of warts. Over-the-counter gels and creams for treating genital warts are generally not recommended.
Cervical DysplasiaDysplasia or lesions refers to abnormal changes in the size, shape or appearance of cells that line the cervix. Changes to the cells can range from mild to severe. Although dysplasia is not cancer, if left untreated it can turn into cancer. Dysplasia is found mostly on the cervix, but can also be on the vagina or vulva and usually there are no symptoms.
Diagnosis and ScreeningEarly diagnosis is important in treating HPV-related conditions, especially since they often do not have obvious signs or symptoms. Therefore, routine screening is critical to getting early treatment. There are several types of screening methods, described below.
Pap Smear: This is a test in which a doctor will collect cells from your cervix or anus. A Pap smear can detect any inflammation, and in most cases predict abnormalities in cervical cells. For women living with HIV, if your CD4 cell count is below 300 or has been dropping, it is suggested that you have a Pap smear every six months. If you have an abnormal Pap smear, further evaluation with a colposcopy is suggested.
Anal Pap Smear: An anal Pap smear is like the cervical Pap smear, the cells are collected from the anus. If any abnormal cells are found, an anoscope (similar to a colposcope -- see Colposcopy) is used to look inside the anal canal.
Colposcopy: A solution of diluted vinegar is applied to the cervix/anus to remove the mucus and highlight the abnormal cells. Using a light and an electric microscope (called a colposcope, or anoscope if they're looking at anal tissue), the doctor can look at the tissue closely. The vinegar makes the abnormal cells white and the normal cells appear pink. Lesions, warts and inflammation are usually visible during the colposcopy, however it is difficult to determine if the changes are mild or severe. If abnormal cells are seen a biopsy is usually done.
Biopsy: A small amount of tissue is taken from the area where abnormal cells are found. A biopsy can tell the difference between a mild lesion and a severe lesion. A biopsy can be uncomfortable and painful. Some women experience mild bleeding after the procedure. There are several types of biopsies, explained below.
Treating HPVThe success rate of treating HPV in women living with HIV has been inconsistent. For the treatment of genital warts, there is a higher rate of recurrence after therapy. As a result more frequent and costly treatment and follow-up is required and can be a source of frustration. For treating dysplasia, the effectiveness has been shown to be dependent on the level (high or low grade dysplasia). Low grade dysplasia may or may not progress and can be a chronic condition. However, if a woman has a low CD4 count and high HIV viral load, she may be at a higher risk for developing high grade dysplasia. So, in this case, a doctor may recommend treatment for low grade dysplasia. For women with high grade dysplasia, treatment is strongly recommended, however may not always be effective.
Screening, monitoring and managing HPV infections are crucial for women living with HIV. While there is a lack of consensus in the medical community for treatment and management of HPV infection, there is an effort to establish guidelines to better serve women living with HIV. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends HIV-positive women receive two Pap smears a year within the first month of diagnosis. If the results are abnormal, colposcopy or biopsy is suggested.
PregnancyGenital wart removal is recommended during pregnancy. Specific types of HPV (6 and 11) can be transmitted to infants and children causing respiratory problems.
Please note that Podofilox, Imiquimod, and Podophyllin are not recommended for use during pregnancy as they are absorbed by the skin and may cause birth defects in the baby.
Things to keep in mind after surgical procedures:
Contact the provider if any of these occur:
Treatment for Cervical DysplasiaThe treatment for cervical dysplasia depends on several factors including:
NOTE: Cervical and anal dysplasia can return after treatment. Recurrence may be more likely if you have higher HIV levels.
Keep in mind that the treatment is to get rid of the abnormal tissue, not the virus. This means that the virus is present in your body and the abnormal cells can come back even after treatment. For women living with HIV, genital warts are more likely to reoccur after treatment.

A WIMMERA artist will return to Malaysia to continue his work with an international contemporary arts festival.
Quantong artist Anthony Pelchen will be in the Melaka Arts and Performance Festival MAPFest from September 21 to 23.
The festival features dance, performance art, visual art, film and music.
Pelchen began his involvement with the festival while on a four-month University of Melbourne Asialink residency near Kuala Lumpur in 2010.
The 2012 festival will be his fourth.
MAPFest, founded in 2009, is an initiative of Pelchen's long-time friend and collaborator Tony Yap.
"As one of Australia's foremost choreographers and performers, Tony's new role as creative director of the festival is breaking new ground in bringing contemporary performance and visual art to his hometown of Melaka and in forming links with Australia," Pelchen said.
"I find it particularly valuable to be immersed in a predominantly Islamic country at this point in history and to have a regular, powerful counterpoint to life in the Wimmera."
Pelchen will participate in the festival with Natimuk artist Trevor Tagliabue.
Tagliabue's installation, 'Mothness 77', will feature 77 small, moth-like objects, made from discarded wood found in the Wimmera and Melaka.
Pelchen will show installation 'Code Maroon', featuring a Dimboola op-shop maroon suit with a high visibility orange vest over it and a soundtrack of Quantong sheep.
He thanked Wimmera people Lorelle Esmore and Robbie Millar for their help with his artwork.

One Up, One Down
This mixed-starter sourdough has become my favorite style of light-ish sourdough. It has proven itself capable of standing up to my "creativity", and that alone counts for a lot. The rye flour takes some of the chewiness out of the crumb and prefermenting it lends the flavor of the bread a distinct tang. If sour isn't your thing then this probably isn't the bread for you. But, it really works for me. 1/3 whole grain gives it some substance and 70% hydration keeps it easy to work with. I started the dough in the mixer, just until it came together, then kneaded by hand.
Under the influence of the aforementioned "creativity", I baked one of the loaves with the seam-side up. I wasn't sure it would be a good idea, but in the end there was little difference between the two loaves. If anything, the seam-up loaf had a somewhat better crumb. The scored loaf was scored a little too cross-wise and wasn't able to expand as much.
Adjustments for next time: I think I will take 30 minutes or so off of the bulk ferment time and add it to the final ferment. Also, one fold instead of two - the dough was already pretty tight, but because it was kneaded by hand I gave it the second fold. I think I would have been better off without it. Lastly, the whole wheat starter was more ripe than I would have liked, even with the salt in it. As the nights get cooler into autumn that should become less of a problem.
Oh, and now that it is officially autumn the next batch will probably be loaded with seeds!
On a side note: The trouble I go through for a decent loaf of bread is nothing compared to what I'll put up with to grow a few good vegetables. I decided to expand the garden a bit and began prepping the ground for next season. The soil here is dismal so "prepping" generally means digging a big hole and filling it up with something better than what was there originally (except with grapes, grapes just love it). The only thing worse than the soil is the chalky, volcanic rock underlying the whole neighborhood. I've been surprisingly lucky in placing my vegetable beds... until now. There was no getting around this one.
Anyone have a stick of dynamite handy? I'll be back in the kitchen working on my next bread!

Bluffton vs. Rose-Hulman
Beavers fall, 1-0, to tough Rose-Hulman squad

LOL @ Jetworks avatar
Great news, dude.
Sorry to hear that your suspicion wasn't based on you performing an inordinate amount of cunnilingus on beautiful females. But still, good for you!
LOL @ Jetworks avatar
lol @ Jetworks' avatar. Very fitting for this thread, lol.
Life is precious and often we take it for granted. Then you get little scares like this and it reminds you how precious it really is.
I know this for sure having just gone thru a quad by-pass a month ago myself.
Glad you are well and healthy and not having to face that trial.
Thankfully, all seems to be well in testicle land as well as prostate land (yes, I had one of THOSE exams done, too...THE HORROR...the horror...).
The exam itself was somewhat awkward, and I didn't help myself by automatically going into the "super hero" pose while the doctor was checking my fellas. Seriously, I looked like this the entire time.
Not a very FUN experience, but my doctor at least was nice and made me feel comfortable (which is important to me when you're elbow deep in my rear).
When they found my lump and I got a hold of the scans I was able to tell right away that it was cancer, so when I got the official diagnosis, it was less of a.....kick to the nuts.
What's the deal with your thyroid, what kind of symptoms are you experiencing? If you want to keep it private, PM me. I've become something of an expert, unfortunately.
Currently, those symptoms are gone. The only pain I have with my neck is in the back which seems to be caused by popping my neck all the time. Aside from that, things seem to be aces. The doctor said one side of the thyroid seemed a bit larger then the other and believes it to be inflamed. I believe he also mentioned something about hyperthyroidism, too. Won't really know what the deal is with that until I go back to have it scanned next Monday.
So. You're telling him to play with his balls more often?Originally Posted by jetssjumets
Idk. My mood has suddenly shifted from "WOOHOO!" to "Uh oh..."
Murse Ratchworks...
I sometimes get a charliehorse in my cremaster muscle post-orgasm.
I need to stretch before, right?
Once again, everyone on JI knows where to go for medical advice....we all laugh, but it's true.
Well, maybe not medical advice....a place to complain about medical conditions, fer shure....

It will house the UK's graphene research efforts according to the Jan. 14, 2013 news item Nanowerk,
This is the first glimpse of the new £61m research institute into wonder material graphene, which is to be built at The University of Manchester.
The stunning, glass-fronted National Graphene Institute (NGI) will be the UK's home of research into the world's thinnest, strongest and most conductive material, providing the opportunity for researchers and industry to work together on a huge variety of potential applications.
The University of Manchester Jan. 14, 2013 news release, which originated the news item, spells out some of the hopes and dreams along with descriptions of the building plans,
It is hoped the centre will initially create around 100 jobs, with the long-term expectation of many thousands more in the North West and more widely in the UK.
The 7,600 square metre building will house state-of-the-art facilities, including two 'cleanrooms' – one which will take up the whole of the lower ground floor – where scientists can carry out experiments and research without contamination.
The Institute will also feature a 1,500 square metre research lab for University of Manchester graphene scientists to collaborate with their colleagues from industry and other UK universities.
Funding for the NGI will come from £38m from the Government, as part of £50m allocated for graphene research, and the University has applied for £23m from the European Research and Development Fund (ERDF). The NGI will operate as a 'hub and spoke' model, working with other UK institutions involved in graphene research.
Some of the world's leading companies are also expected to sign up to work at the NGI, where they will be offered the chance to work on cutting edge projects, across various sectors, with Nobel Laureates and other leading members of the graphene team.
Graphene, isolated for the first time at The University of Manchester by Professor Andre Geim and Professor Kostya Novoselov in 2004, has the potential to revolutionise a huge number of diverse applications; from smartphones and ultrafast broadband to drug delivery and computer chips.
Professor Colin Bailey, Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, added: "The National Graphene Institute will be the world's leading centre of graphene research, combining the expertise of University of Manchester academics with their counterparts at other UK universities and with leading global commercial organisations.
"The potential for its impact on the city and the North West is huge, and will be one of the most exciting centres of cutting edge research in the UK."
Work is set to start on the five-story NGI, which will have its entrance on Booth Street East, in March, and is expected to be completed in early 2015.
The University of Manchester is one of the institutions that forms the Graphene Flagship consortium which is currently competing for one of two European Union prizes of 1 Billion Euros for research to be awarded later this year.

A leopard doesn't change its spots. As a defenceman, Mike Babcock was a fierce competitor. He played a season with the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League in 1980-81, joined the University of Saskatchewan Huskies in 1981-82 and followed with a monster season with the WHL's Kelowna Wings in 1982-83. Then, for four seasons while attending Montreal's McGill University, Babcock starred with the McGill Redmen. A season in England with the Whitley Warriors saw Mike collect 132 points in 36 games.
But inasmuch as Mike enjoyed playing, it was coaching that beckoned. When he returned from the U.K., Babcock took on coaching hockey at Red Deer College for three seasons, beginning with the 1988-89 campaign. Two seasons coaching the Moose Jaw Warriors were followed by a season with the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns, then six seasons with the Spokane Chiefs, including twice taking his WHL team to the final. By 2000-01, Babcock had been noticed by the Mighty Ducks organization, and was hired to coach Anaheim's American Hockey League affiliate in Cincinnati.
In 2002-03, Mike was elevated to the National Hockey League, debuting behind the bench with the team known then as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. In his first season, using that same focus and determination that had already identified his career, Babcock took the upstart Ducks to the Stanley Cup final, ultimately bowing to the New Jersey Devils in a bitterly-contested seven-game final.
On June 4, 2008, Mike Babcock achieved his goal.
By becoming a Stanley Cup champion, you earn the right to celebrate with the trophy itself, and on July 17th and 18th, Mike took the Cup to Saskatoon.
Lord Stanley's legacy was leaving Dallas Drake and British Columbia and scheduled to arrive on the afternoon of Thursday, the 17th. But wanting to give back to a community that had supported him so well, Mike arranged for a private plane to fly the Cup from Castlegar to Saskatoon, so he'd have a little more time to give back to Saskatoon. "We would like to give back. That's so important. That's what the spirit of Saskatchewan is all about," said the coach.
Just after 9:00 that morning, Mike and Maureen Babcock met the plane at the Saskatoon airport and received the Stanley Cup.
There are two things indigenous to Canada hockey and Tim Hortons coffee, and Mike and Maureen merged the two by taking the Stanley Cup to a local Tim Hortons. The only things that could make the morning more Canadian would be if a Mountie carrying a beaver had held the door open for them!
As the Babcock entourage was leaving, they ran into former Red Wing (and Tim Horton's former teammate), Bob Baun, who was in town as part of a media blitz to espouse the benefits of hearing aids.
When Mike Babcock says an event is scheduled from 11:00 until 1:00, he means exactly that. The fundraiser didn't start at 11:15. It didn't even begin at 11:03. At 11:00 it began, and similarly, it ended promptly at 1:00.
With some time to breathe before the next event, Mike and Maureen took advantage of the time to slip into their favourite Dairy Queen. The gasps of excitement were evident everywhere as Mike carried the Stanley Cup past tables with Blizzards and Peanut Buster Parfaits.
Royal University Hospital was the next stop for the coach and the Cup. Located on the campus of the University of Saskatchewan, the hospital does wondrous things within its walls, and between 2:30 and 3:30, Babcock wanted to thank them for their efforts by bringing by the Stanley Cup.
From 4:00 until 5:00, the Stanley Cup visited the Sherbrooke Community Centre. Those at the long-term health facility were amazed to see the Stanley Cup up close and to meet the man responsible for bringing it to Saskatoon.
Mike and his sisters then spent some private time with the Stanley Cup, remembering those people who have been special to them through the years.
It was time to party, and in Saskatoon, that means a good, old-fashioned barn dance. Just outside the city limits sits the chicken farm of Reggie and Tracy Sloboshan, who graciously loaned use of their barn for the party. But this was no ordinary barn! Inside, was a full-blown rink that during the winter serves for ice hockey and in the summer, hosts ball hockey games. The barn features rinkboards, a scoreclock and there was even a Zamboni! For this occasion, the barn was decorated in Red Wing red and white.
Following the Stanley Cup win, but prior to arriving in Saskatoon, Mike had arranged for a special website: www.giveitupforthecup.com, and through the site, invited Saskatoon to the barn dance.
'You're our guest. There are no tickets to buy and no costs involved.
I will ask, however, that you consider joining our team in making a donation to the Children's Health and Hospital Foundation. Doesn't
matter if it's $1 or $100 - or if you're a free agent who just signed a
new contract -- even more!
We've been blessed - with family, friends and good fortune - and we'd like to give something back and help some kids in our hometown.
There's no obligation - just a sincere request for your support.'
We've been blessed - with family, friends and good fortune - and we'd like to give something back and help some kids in our hometown.
There's no obligation - just a sincere request for your support.'
Although the terrific party wound down around midnight, the night wasn't over. The Stanley Cup was placed by a raging bonfire and a handful of revelers sat around the Cup in a circle and listened as great stories were told about the Stanley Cup through the years.
Friday morning (July 18) began with Mike taking the Cup over to Jubilee Ford for another opportunity to get a photo with the Cup and a signature from Detroit's bench boss. The signing lasted from 8:00 until 10:00, and just before its conclusion, with media looking on, Mike presented a sizeable cheque to the Children's Health and Hospital Foundation, representing monies raised through the barn dance and the Cup photograph opportunities.
With the formal celebrations concluded, the Babcocks took the opportunity to relax with the Stanley Cup for the remainder of the day. Mike and Maureen, along with children Alexandra, Michael and Taylor, made the three hour drive north to Emma Lake, where the family has summered for several years. It's a stunning retreat, one largely untouched by humankind, but very much the best-kept secret of the hockey community, as Calgary Flames' defenceman Robyn Regehr and Hall of Fame forward Bernie Federko also have cottages on the lake.
Mike enjoys being out on the water, something he does each morning at 6:30, and had always dreamed of taking the Stanley Cup out on the water with him. So he did! With the Stanley Cup securely strapped into a motorboat, Mike water-skied behind, all along the perimeter of the lake.
One evening three years ago, while visiting the family cottage on Emma Lake, Mike caught the faint sound of bagpipes wafting over the water from somewhere on the shore. It was eerily wonderful, and the coach vowed that, should he ever win the Stanley Cup, he'd find that piper and have him/her perform at the cottage during a Stanley Cup celebration.
Through the last few years, Babcock continued to hear the piper, but was never able to ascertain exactly where the music was coming from. Then, earlier this summer, Mike was driving the boat while his son, Mike Jr., was waterskiing when the faint sound of the piper was heard again. Knowing that this was his opportunity to find the bagpiper, Babcock geared the boat down to a halt, leaving his poor son to prematurely conclude his waterskiing run. The coach then followed the skirl of the pipe until he found the area from where it originated. Pulling his boat up onto the shore, Babcock then went cottage to cottage in search of the piper.
He found him (as if there was to be any doubt!). But he was gobsmacked to discover that the elusive piper was a teenaged boy, beautifully practicing his piping from the beautiful confines of his family's Emma Lake cottage.
The Red Wings coach invited 15-year-old Jeff Brown to join the Babcock family for the Stanley Cup celebration on Friday, July 18. While Jeff played his bagpipes, Mike orchestrated a parade of boats around Emma Lake, led by the Stanley Cup, and as the procession continued, more and more boats joined the flotilla. The floating party lasted an hour (and poor Jeff's lungs are stronger than ever!).
So many people put so much effort into Mike Babcock's days with the Stanley Cup. "I really want to thank Ken Juba, Betty Anne Heggie, Vaughn Wyant, of course, the Sloboshans, and my family."
Mike then spoke about his drive and his focus. "If you don't dream, you cap your potential," he said. "I've always been a big dreamer. For a kid from Saskatoon to get to do what I get to do is living proof that dreams can come true."
But focused as he is on hockey goals, there are other targets he finds even more important. "The measure of me, in my lifetime, isn't going to be how many games or how many Stanley Cups I win. It's going to be about the family I raise and the amount of integrity in my life. Those," he concluded, "those are Saskatchewan things!"
On Tuesday, we'll tell you how Ken Holland, the Red Wings' general manager, spent his day with hockey's big prize right here at the Stanley Cup Journal.

Also known asPicon
DescriptionProprietary French bitter-sweet spirit-based aperitif beverage bitters with slight orange character. Notable in the Basque drink, Picon Punch, which is considered one of the finest examples of a highball beverage. Unfortunately, from the 1970s to present, the House of Picon has lowered the proof of their product repeatedly, creating a situation where traditional recipes calling for it (such as the Picon Punch which was created with the original 78 proof product in mind) did not taste the same. Picon's current iteration has an alcohol content of less than half of the original product.
Flavorbitter, herbal and orange
AvailabilityRare. Produced and sold in France. Known to be distributed in parts of Europe. Export and/or distribution unreliable. Rarely exported. Regional.
Substituteother aperitif bitters/domestic imitations in some markets. Example: Torani amer

Random road trip thoughts & Dr. D's voice
I got a call at 4:00 Friday from a neighbor that my Mom had fallen on the patio and cut her head. I got a call at 5:00 from my Dad that the cut was still bleeding and they were going to go to an emergency clinic. I got a call at 9:00 from the doctor at the clinic saying that my Mom had needed stitches, but that she was going to be fine. However, they were not going to let a 91 year old woman with a head injury drive home in the dark with her 89 year old husband. I threw shorts, shirts, and socks into my suitcase and began the 3 hour drive to get them. I returned home tonight.
Why, I wondered as I drove, do well-meaning people, even medical professionals, treat someone who is hard of hearing as if they were ignorant? Part of the difficulty my mom had at the clinic was that because she can't hear, she didn't answer their questions promptly. Just because you can't hear doesn't mean you can't think.
I was 30 miles from home when I realized that I had packed so fast that I forgot a nightgown. I also forgot my eye drops, my vitamins, and my breakfast mix. Fortunately my parents eat flax seed and lots of fruit. I improvised.
My parents are fiercely independent. Most of the time that is a good thing. But why, I asked myself, didn't they listen when I suggested that they get a church friend to drive them to the clinic? I thought I had dodged a bullet by having cooperative teenagers. Was I now going to pay the price with rebellious parents? No - when I walked into the clinic they were so contrite and so sorry that I had driven 200 miles late at night. Today they were very cooperative as we planned together what we need to do for them to continue to live at home.
My Type O Dad has had problems with edema since he has been in the wheel chair. He stopped eating wheat 2 months ago and the edema is going away. His legs look so much better.
For my birthday I got an MP3 player. I didn't want to download hundreds of songs and videos like the kids want to do. I wanted to download a Bible teacher whose radio program is on at an inconvenient time where I now live. So I shopped around on the internet and found a good price on what was probably last year's model.
One day last week I was searching for something on the BTD website and I found an MP3 of a radio interview with Dr. D'Adamo. I wondered what his voice sounded like, so I saved the interview on my MP3 player.
I tossed the MP3 player in the car, and when I got tired of thinking, I listened to Bible studies from the book of 1 Samuel and the Dr. D radio interview. I thought I understood the background of the BTD pretty well, but I learned some things from the interview about lectins and secretor status that I had never understood. I'll probably quote from the interview in future blogs, but if you want to hear Dr. D explain it himself go to the home page and look on the left for Media Center.

Quoted Text
The study shows that bacteria living in the human digestive tract metabolize the compound carnitine, turning it into trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite the researchers previously linked in a 2011 study to the promotion of atherosclerosis in humans. Further, the research finds that a diet high in carnitine promotes the growth of the bacteria that metabolize carnitine, compounding the problem by producing even more of the artery-clogging TMAO.
Quoted Text
Additionally, they found specific gut microbe types in subjects associated with both plasma TMAO levels and dietary patterns, and that baseline TMAO levels were significantly lower among vegans and vegetarians than omnivores. Remarkably, vegans and vegetarians, even after consuming a large amount of carnitine, did not produce significant levels of the microbe product TMAO, whereas omnivores consuming the same amount of carnitine did."The bacteria living in our digestive tracts are dictated by our long-term dietary patterns," Hazen said. "A diet high in carnitine actually shifts our gut microbe composition to those that like carnitine, making meat eaters even more susceptible to forming TMAO and its artery-clogging effects. Meanwhile, vegans and vegetarians have a significantly reduced capacity to synthesize TMAO from carnitine, which may explain the cardiovascular health benefits of these diets."
Quoted from Lola
very A like study, no?
Quoted from Dr. D
I may be wrong and correct me if I am, but the burst in TMAO was observed in humans, but the atherogenicity was observed in mice? Thus the variable, which perhaps is yet to be determined, is the microbiome (floral) variations between the two species.
Quoted Text
They also examined the cardiac effects of a carnitine-enhanced diet in normal mice compared to mice with suppressed levels of gut microbes, and discovered that TMAO alters cholesterol metabolism at multiple levels, explaining how it enhances atherosclerosis.
Quoted from Lloyd
"When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles - scream and shout." - Anon
Quoted from Dr. D
This is the same authors prior article on choline promoting atherogenesis through conversion by gut bacteria into TMAO:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3086762/
Quoted Text
Hepatic FMO3 is a known enzymatic source for TMAO in humans, based on the recent recognition of the etiology of an uncommon genetic disorder called trimethylaminuria (also known as fish malodor syndrome)15,17. Subjects with this metabolic condition have impaired capacity to convert TMA, which smells like rotting fish, into TMAO, an odorless stable oxidation product17
Quoted Text
Using a targeted metabolomics approach aimed at identifying plasma metabolites whose levels predict risk of CVD in subjects, we have identified a novel pathway linking dietary lipid intake, intestinal microflora and atherosclerosis (Fig. 6). The pathway identified (dietary PC/choline -> gut flora-formed TMA -> hepatic FMO-formed TMAO) represents a unique additional nutritional contribution to the pathogenesis of CVD that involves choline metabolism, an obligate role for the intestinal microbial community, and regulation of surface expression levels of macrophage scavenger receptors known to participate in the atherosclerotic process.
Quoted Text
the participation of FMOs in human atherosclerosis and HDL cholesterol levels remains to be established. Strong associations between systemic TMAO levels and both angiographic measures of coronary artery atherosclerotic burden and cardiac risks were observed among subjects; however, no correlation was observed between plasma TMAO levels and HDL cholesterol levels in subjects.
Quoted from kitari
Would secretor status also be an issue to consider in O's since "the overall composition of bacteria in your intestinal ecosysteme" is influenced by secretor status?
Quoted from Amazone I.
the acetyl-l'carnitine is merely a beautiful sustain for brains....;) .... ;D entre-autre ....(cool)(smarty) but in adjuvance with r-alpha-lipoic acid a beautiful helper as an antioxidant and detoxer as well :D

Golden's options for eating out will whet all kinds of appetites.
This small town on the TransCanada Highway may have its fair share of fast food outlets, but it also has great culinary aspirations, with excellent independent bistros and the highest elevation restaurant in Canada.
Another great breakfast is at the Kicking Horse River Lodge - a building that was honoured by National Geographic Magazine as "one of the 50 best eco-lodges in the world". Find it next to the river on 9th Street North.
Try the soup, sandwich and book selection at Bacchus Books and Café, next to the bridge on 9th Ave North. Upstairs, the mostly vegetarian food is served on cafe tables among the bookshelves. Downstairs, there are more intriguing titles. Remember to look up at the tin ceiling.
Read More
The Whitetooth Bistro, also on 9th Ave North, is one of the busiest places in town, and the food is great - try the elk cassoulet.
A true Canadian log cabin restaurant, the Kicking Horse Grill has the best steaks in town, a great caesar salad, and excellent service too. South of the river on 9th St. South.
The Cedar House Restaurant, on Hefti Rd, off Hwy 95 about five minutes south of town, made the top 50 in Anne Hardy's national restaurant guide, Where to Eat in Canada.
Take the gondola to the very top of the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. The Eagle's Eye Restaurant, with its French inspired menu, is just a little closer to heaven - at an elevation of 2347m/7700ft. A good choice after a day of skiing, or possibly in the middle of it - lunch is an affordable affair.

A Tap on the Glass - Vol. 62 - Aspire to Re-fire
George Bernard Shaw once said "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
Most of us think of the word unreasonable negatively; that type of person is hard to get along with or perhaps irrational. But I don't think that's what Shaw really had in mind. I think he was talking about another kind of unreasonable. Unreasonable people don't settle, aren't easily satisfied and generally choose a more challenging and difficult path.
Unreasonable people don't take the easy path. During wars, tank commanders have been known to take the same path as other tanks, sometimes by tanks "killed" in battle. Rather than serving as a warning, the failed tanks attract others. Why? The doomed tanks took the easy path and the others did the same. The lesson here is that the easy path is often mined.
The next time you're out for a professional stroll, rethink your steps. The easy path may get you to your intended destination but it might kill your enthusiasm and passion in the process. We are often too easily satisfied with our own performance, with others and our organizations. It isn't always because we're doing our best, but because we're "doing enough". Short of getting in trouble, we figure that getting by isn't a bad strategy. And, in the process, we become reasonable in complete contrast to what Shaw saw as unreasonable.
You know what we hate about aiming higher than we need to? It increases our chance for failure or disappointment. Maybe, instead of trying to minimize our disappointments, we should accept them as the cost of being unreasonable?
It's hard to do. The rush and din of business and contemporary life often feels like we're isolated in a crowd. Getting rid of old ideas feels like we're losing or even destroying something. But Pablo Picasso once said that "Every act of creation is first an act of destruction." The most creative ideas you may come up with isn't an addition to an existing one, but a totally fresh concept.
The hardest part is giving up those ideas that have served us well in the past. Some are timeless principles that will serve us till the end of life, but others are like books we'll never ready. They weigh us down and take up space that could be better occupied. G.K Chesterton believed we need to go backward to go forward, that the old timeless truths were the foundation upon which to build.
I tend to agree, but am often challenged by how to frame new structures on old foundations, especially lately.
Sometimes we confuse the framing with the foundation.
Unreasonable people gravitate towards the remarkable. Shakespeare said we're all actors on the stage of life. True. But we have several stages; at work, at home, in our community. I admit to having an increasing interest in performance, in how well we perform our roles. If you don't perform well, you perish on whatever stage it is. You don't just disappear like vapor, but you disappear from that stage, that company, relationship, project or involvement.
Performance by itself doesn't make a person good, but a good person makes a performance. I want you to think about how remarkable (or not) your important performances are these days. Are you settling for getting by or aiming for getting great?
So, here's to being a little less "reasonable" and much more frequently unreasonable and hopefully, remarkable too.
Just remember words from a pioneer in self help movements, Orison Marden, who said " Deep within humans dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish them; that they never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize their lives if aroused and put into action."
It has been wisely observed that you only live once, but if you do it right, that's enough.
Aspire higher. Get rid of some stuff. Contemplate on what you're truly accomplishing, not just how busy you are. Look up from the grindstone. Then choose one thing this week and for the new year rushing towards that you'll make remarkable. Then, go for an encore.
Thanks for reading

Generally, that might be true, but this time last year they had 10, including 2 from TX. If I were a NE fan, I might be a little concerned about the total absence of TX kids so far this year.

Dusty Kiel is a RS sophomore QB at Indiana, so that means Gunner will have to compete with his brother for the starting job for the first two years and then with others after that.

|Uhhhh ...
Also, you shouldn't assume all RS juniors want to come back for a fifth year. Most of these guys are not going to the NFL. Once they have their degrees, some are looking forward to moving on and starting their future careers. In that sense, guessing which RS Juniors will not be returning is similar to guessing which highly-talented players will choose to leave early for the pros each year. It is not a one-way decision made by the coaching staff. I am sure Hoke will adjust his final class size (next February, BTW) appropriately based on all the relevant factors.

Big old booty. Term used by statistics geeks and hedge fund weenies. From the Greek word kurtos, meaning bulging, kurtosis is a measure of how "tight" a probability distribution of a random variable is around the mean. A positive kurtosis value indicates that many values fall far away from the mean, which are called "fat tails" when shown graphically.
Sir Mix-a-Lot would dig the slammin' kurtosis on that chick!
Do these pants make me look like I have excess kurtosis?

If you go
What: "Deep Space" exhibit
When: Opening reception from 5-8 tonight, shows through Jan. 31
Where: Franklin Crossing, 550 N.W. Franklin Ave., Bend
Cost: Free
Contact: 541-382-9398
Exploding gaseous bands of red, yellow and white encircle a blue center dotted with fluorescent stars against a black sky. The paint is tangible and vibrant on the canvas, a mind-bending juxtaposition with the fact that the subject — the Helix Nebula, also known as the "Eye of God" — is the result of a star that exploded millions of years ago.
Art and science come together in the works of astrophotographer Bill Logan and landscape artist Ann Bulwinkel, who create oil paintings based on photos from the Hubble telescope and Logan's own deep-space photography. The couple's new exhibit, "Deep Space," opens tonight at the Franklin Crossing building in downtown Bend and runs through January (see "If you go").
Logan and Bulwinkel sat down recently with GO! Magazine to talk about the exhibit. The discussion started with science: light years, wavelengths, planetary gases. Logan, a volunteer astronomer for Pine Mountain Observatory, is passionate about the topic.
To create a deep-space image, he takes 40 photographs time-lapsed at 20 minutes apiece. Different filters are used to filter out the existence of oxygen, hydrogen or a particular element. Since the human eye sees only gray in deep-space photographs, the original black and white images are layered in Photoshop to create one composite, then colorized; Logan used blue for oxygen, red for hydrogen, green for sulfur and so on.
The resultant photographs are excruciatingly detailed and complex, with shapes and colors of solar systems, helixes, planets and stars.
Enter Bullwinkel, Logan's wife and the twinkle in his eye. Their lives collided online three years ago after Logan's previous wife died. As an artist, Bullwinkel was intrigued by the images of space found in Logan's work and the book "Cosmos" by Giles Sparrow. She wants to "capture the drama," she said, of the photographs and communicate to the viewer an appreciation of the details of this world.
Bullwinkel currently does just that in her detailed impressionist landscape oil paintings that exude a sense of atmosphere or feeling. It was a new challenge to tackle the intricate landscapes of space where accuracy is important because, as Bullwinkel notes, "I am not the creator." (Could have fooled me.)
Her piece "Omega Nebula" is a fiery landscape of light and color with the smallest detail depicting a star light years in the distance. Because the images are based on far-off astral events, they often depict things that no longer exist, but have just recently reached us due to the bending and speed of light.
"Sunspot" by Logan reflects his current interest of solar observing. Its dark center with bright gold offshoots recalls a close-up view of a sunflower. In reality, five earths would fit in the center.
The couple shares the Bullwinkel Gallery on Greenwood Avenue in Bend and they often work side-by-side on individual paintings. They act as each other's sounding boards, offering advice and critique.
"Ann is the master mixer of paint," Logan said, often helping him get just the right color. And Bullwinkel said Logan will let her know if he feels something is missing in her piece. The conversation flows back and forth in mutual affinity.
The collaboration on this stellar exhibit is an experimental flash on the local art scene. Bullwinkel will go back to creating her incredible landscapes; she is currently working on a contrast of water and grass. Logan, primarily a self-taught artist except for four classes at a junior college, will return to solar observing and his detailed pencil drawings of cowboys and horses that earned him an exhibit at the Sisters Rodeo next summer.
Sometimes good things happen when two worlds collide.

It's all standard stuff, but outside of the tiresome, heard-it-all-before rants, it's not without its appeal.USA Today Full Review
While it returns Allen to a Mr. Fix-it style of parenting and some broad he-man comedy, the show offers fewer grunts and more shrieking female voices.PopMatters Full Review
[Tim Allen'd] be insufferable and unbelievable (even this doofus would know what Glee is), except Allen has the chops to make a studio audience laugh just through intonation and timing.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
The only differences between Last Man Standing and the old "Home Improvement" are that Allen's name is Mike this time, his job is working for a sporting goods company as opposed to a hardware manufacturer, and his three kids are teenage daughters.San Francisco Chronicle Full Review
It still carries a decidedly throwback vibe, and the ongoing bluster about the state of manhood in the world feels, at best, two steps behind the times.Zap2it (Inside the Box) Full Review
Very little of it feels fresh or funny. Nor does Allen's character strike me as someone viewers would want to spend a great deal of time with.San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times Full Review
Allen's mere presence may keep it in business for a while. But it already seems as though it belongs on TV Land, where Home Improvement repeats already reside.Uncle Barky Full Review
As bad as Last Man Standing is, it would be a trillion times worse without Allen's veteran presence and ability to sell comedy in that set-up/punch-line kind of way.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
Allen and Travis, who are both better than you r average comic actor, seem aware that they're trapped in a particular cookie-cutter sitcom hell, forced to laugh their way through stale gags about kids while other new TV comedies explore family life with clever, contemporary touches. [17 Oct 2011, p.39]People Weekly Full Review
The whole thing feels like a gross miscalculation--a failed attempt to update Allen's familiar persona for an angrier, more desperate time.Hitfix Full Review
Dreadful. Or to use a more manly phrase, aaarrgggh, awful.Newsday Full Review
The jokes and plots have been efficiently constructed, but most have no traction; they slide right off you, and the characters themselves seem disconnected from one another.Los Angeles Times Full Review
We all know Allen can work a punchline. He just shouldn't have to be working these so hard.Philadelphia Daily News Full Review
It feels both orchestrated and dated, like a show whose time came and went around the same TV era that "Home Improvement" aired in.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
Mostly, it's an excuse to watch Allen occupy an Archie Bunker-like role 20 years after he began raking in cash for ABC. Good luck catching lightning in a bottle twice.Variety Full Review
It's strange that the same network that airs these two stellar comedies [Modern Family & The Middle] would chose to regress and put this dreck on the air.Boston Herald Full Review
We're supposed to believe that there's a nice guy lurking underneath that misogynistic, bigoted shell. But just like everything that's for sale at Outdoor Man, I'm not buying it.Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
Allen tries too hard to be cranky and offensive and misogynistic and yet ultimately--aww--a good guy.Boston Globe Full Review
Everything in Mike's life seems contrived to set up ba-ba-boom punch lines.New York Daily News Full Review
It's a stale sitcom right out of the early '90s, and like Mike, it seems to believe it can just harangue the world into changing back with it.Time Full Review
It's pretty much impossible to care, since we've heard it all before, and it was funnier and fresher the first time around.TV Guide Magazine Full Review
Very probably the worst sitcom on network television, Last Man Standing makes Whitney Cummings look like Noël Coward.Slate Full Review
It's less of a newly conceived comedy and more of a prime-time haunting.Washington Post Full Review
With tediously unfunny scripts and a listless cast that looks as if it can barely wait for the director to shout "Cut!" so it can head en masse to the unemployment office, Last Man Standing is some kind of voracious video parasite that sucks out all intellect, sense of purpose or will to live.Miami Herald Full Review

UFC 158 St-Pierre vs. Diaz Fighter Bonuses: Jake Ellenberger Takes Knockout of the Night
The Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded $50,000 performance bonuses to three UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz fighters following the event at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Saturday night.
The Fight of the Night bonus went to the co-main event fighters Carlos Condit and Johny Hendricks. The two top welterweight contenders fought to a decision in an action-packed war. Hendricks' wrestling was the difference in what was a Fight of the Year candidate.
Jake Ellenberger's first-round knockout of Nate Marquardt earned him the Knockout of the Night award. Ellenberger, known for his knockout punching power, landed a combination along the cage the knocked Marquardt down. As Marquardt struggled to grab a leg, Ellenberger delivered a right hand that rendered him unconscious.
There was no Submission of the Night bonus for UFC 158 because there wasn't a submission finish in the 12 fights on the card.
Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre retained his title in the main event with a unanimous decision win over Nick Diaz. St-Pierre used his jab and wrestling ability to nullify Diaz's offense. All three scorecards read 50-47 for St-Pierre.
A total of $150,000 was awarded in bonus money following UFC 158.

Interior Design major, Pre-Architecture
(Lubbock, Texas)
Alex Potess may be the most humble trash talker at ACU.
As the student worker for the Office of Campus Aesthetics, Potess has had a unique and influential role in selecting the décor and furniture of the newly built AT&T Learning Studio and the in-progress Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center.
From paint colors to desk chairs and, yes, trash cans, Alex, a senior interior design and pre-architecture major from Lubbock, has discovered and won approval for many of the little touches providing the atmosphere for two of ACU's most eagerly anticipated projects.
"Alex pushed us in the direction of things to consider" in the Learning Studio, said Mary Reyes, director of Campus Aesthetics, and as work heats up on the wellness center, "Alex will be heavily involved."
Reyes must say that because Alex usually demurs when discussing her role in selecting the bold colors and stylish furniture of the Learning Studio.
"We're still looking at furniture options," Alex said about her work on the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, which is scheduled to open by early September. "I'm kind of in charge of the trash receptacles."
'Fell in love' with ACU
As a high-school student, Alex was adamant that she would not attend ACU. Both of her parents were Wildcats, and she resisted her mother's suggestions that she follow their lead.
Then she visited campus.
"I fell in love with it," she said. "I just loved the atmosphere, how it was smaller and there was more of a personal relationship with the professors. I liked the idea of a faith-based education. It wasn't something I'd had before."
Alex was drawn to architecture because it combined her artistic and creative interests with the environmental concern she inherited from her parents and her love for travel.
She plans to attend graduate school to receive her architecture degree, then work overseas for a nonprofit building organization such as Architecture for Humanity.
"Interior design and architecture, they can feel very superficial and materialistic, but our professors showed us how to make that into something more meaningful," Alex said. "Interior design and architecture is designing for the health, safety and welfare of the public. Ultimately, you're designing for the greater good of people."
Alex said she sees it as a way to use her education to change the world in whatever way she can.
"That would be like mission work," she said. "It's all based on your interaction with people. Even if it's just building homes for people or community centers or schools, you're doing God's work in a different way, and people can see that.
Coming to life
Attending ACU may not have been a question once she visited, but paying for it certainly was.
In her four years, Alex has received eight scholarships, joining the more than 90 percent of ACU students who rely on financial aid to defray the cost of their education.
Alex said she is grateful to the donors who made those scholarships possible and smoothed her road through college.
"Every little bit does make a difference," she said. "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help others."
The effects of those gifts will be evident years after Alex leaves campus.
Her influence on the Learning Studio, a high-tech home for digital collaboration on the third floor of the Brown Library, is arguably the first thing a visitor notices.
Vibrant colors with names such as Balsamic (a dark purplish brown), Jive Clive (a vivacious green) and Bright Bittersweet (a neon orange) dominate rooms that house stylish, comfortable chairs with equally provocative names: Cobi and, simply, Think.
"They're bold, bold colors," Alex says, smiling as she takes in the studio. "It could have been a hit or a miss, and I'm really glad they worked out."
The Learning Studio, funded through a grant from AT&T, opened during ACU's Connected Summit in March 2011. For Alex, the opening was an opportunity to see her work jump from the computer screen and the drafting pad onto the walls and in the rooms of the center.
"It was really cool," she said. "It's the first time I've seen something I've worked on come to life. I can actually walk through and experience it for myself."
Now she turns her attention to the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, the 112,000-square-foot expansion and renovation of the Gibson Health and Physical Education Center.
With new offices and classrooms to furnish and a large lobby area to decorate, Alex is once again applying practically the theory she's learned from faculty in the Department of Art and Design.
Aside from trash-can selection, Alex is researching recycling options, as well — ways for environmental wellness to be a visible, vital component of the new facility. And, as with the Learning Studio, she's researching colors, fabric and furniture styles for items faculty, staff and her fellow students will see and use every day when the facility opens.
"I've had a lot of growing and life-changing experiences here through ACU," she said. "I feel like I've definitely grown being here. I became more independent and learned more about myself."

The Men's Soccer Team is starting a new program we are calling Faculty Coach of the Week. We have invited six faculty members from around campus to join our program as an honorary coach for a week, where they will get an inside look at what it is like to be a member of the Men's Soccer Team.
This week we have John Massena joining us. John is the Director of Undergraduate Admissions, and has been working at the college since 2005. John is a 1999 graduate of Greenville and a rabid supporter of the soccer program during his student years. He is one of two student fans to receive a red card for challenging a ref's call from the sideline. John had the following to say of his appointment to the soccer staff, "I am happy to take my complete lack of soccer knowledge and apply it as a faculty coach this week as we face my brother Ben (GC class of 2001), coach at Lincoln Junior College. I am also completely willing to tackle my brother if things begin to go south."
"We are really excited to have John joining us," head coach Chris Swift said. "Our program works closely with John and his department in the recruiting process and it has been great working with him over the past year. John is a glutton for punishment as he is joining us for preseason, the most difficult week of the year, but he assured me he was ready to go for 6am practices! It will be a great week, and the trash talk has already begun between John and his brother Ben."

Trione, 2012 River Road Ranch, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc,14.0, $23. Aromas and flavors of grapefruit, melon and spice. Bright and citrusy, with an undercurrent of spice. Tasty.

RENO, NV - The scene in Washoe Valley back in January of 2008 looked much like the scene from the movie "Fargo" and would ultimately lead to the injury of a state trooper, who had pulled over to investigate a rollover accident on 395 when a truck carrying a trailer ran into her vehicle while she was in it.
"What happens is the wind blows over, the highway causes it to freeze and then we have ice on the road. So between the wind, the white-out conditions and the ice on the road, you can't drive," says Trooper Scott Simon.
"We all know for whatever reason, as it comes off the the mountain here, we all know Washoe Valley has winds that can be so horrendous," says Scott Magruder with Nevada's Department of Transportation.
Workers are in the process of installing 1200 feet of snow fence along the 395 and I-580 corridor through Washoe Valley.
It is a first-of-its-kind in northern Nevada, but they have been used in Wyoming along Interstate 80 there for years.
"This is part of the I-580 freeway project. We always wanted to come out here and put up these snow fences," says Macgruder.
The fence will act as a porous windbreak with wind and snow passing through it. The structures cause the wind to drop the snow it's carrying.
Several hundred feet from the roadway, the snow will ideally stop there.
That means better visibility for the driver, a less icy road surface, and there are money savings too with fewer snow removal services.
The fence should be completed by the end of next week; then with one good Northern Nevada winter, it should prove its worth.
At that time transportation officials will evaluate its effectiveness.
If the snow fence works well in the Washoe Valley corridor, workers could extend it further alongside the roadway.
Or another fence could be constructed somewhere else in northern Nevada where wind and snow are a problem.

Marianna- America's Second Harvest of the Big Bend teamed up with the First Presibeterian Church, The Family Dollar Store and the St. Andrews Society to distribute over 500 remote control toy cars and home grown satsuma oranges to local families in need.
Volunteers also dished out traditional holiday foods to help make sure everyone in the community could have something to eat and look forward to on Christmas day.
Stephanie Kilham, the Food Resource Manager for Second Harvest told us being able to participate in Wednesday's event was something very dear to her heart.
"We heard a lot of stories today where families had not been able to prepare in time for Christmas, that without the toy trucks they would not have gifts for the children" said Stephanie Kilham, the Food Resources Manager for Second Harvest.
Kilham said the group gave out over 1600 pounds of Jackson County grown satsuma oranges.

BP, you can cheat and lie, but the facts you can't hide.
Thus, by all reasoning the ROV coordinates (from acoustic positioning system), gyro heading, depth and altimeter sensors must have all been functioning accurately. The information on the "live video feeds" was however distorted.
We all know where Well A is and the BOP at Well A should have been (well logically) be on top of Well A's positon. So why would BP have to even lie on this. In fact, if the ROV working on the BOP at Well A did not have the same promulgated position as Well A, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Updated: Fedora was right in the middle of announcing all this properly, so here is the updated item containing the official names. Videos included, as well as the inevitable 'Why not Xgl?'. "AIGLX is a project that aims to enable GL-accelerated effects on a standard desktop. We have a lightly modified X server (that includes a couple of extensions), an updated Mesa package that adds some new protocol support and a version of metacity with a composite manager. The end result is that you can use GL effects on your desktop with very few changes, the ability to turn it on and off at will, and you don't have to replace your X server in the process." This is part of Fedora's Rendering Project, and instructions on how to install all this are available too.

RE[3]: AIXGL update
by aent on Wed 22nd Feb 2006 03:53 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: AIXGL update"
I'm already running compiz and Xgl on my GeForce 2 Go with a Pentium 3 M. Trying to watch movies and shit like that is totally unusable (it skips a bit, totally unusable might be a little extreme), but the actual desktop affects like the wobbly windows are actually smooth... dragging windows around the desktop is actually smoother than before. I tried even loading up a TON of windows and using stuff like the expose and cube feature constantly. Occasionally, it will skip around when doing those effects, but for the most part, its still pretty smooth. The only issue is the nvidia driver in Xgl is a little bit buggy, I get some artifacts all around my desktop, especially with Firefox for some reason.

Important Announcement
From this day on, support for all my themes will be available again, but only at the support forum I've setup at my website:http://www.kriesi.at/support
The reason I have choosen to use my own forum are quite simple:
Themeforest support threads are not searchable. Since most questions are asked over and over again a searchable forum will make it possible that you dont even need to wait for my response, because its already there.
Second Reason: people can't respond to each other at themeforest to help each other out, while I am busy with other tasks.
Third Reason: it is very inconvenient for me to check multiple places if support requests where made (here at themeforest, my themeforest mail account, my websites mail account, facebook group, twitter etc) Therefore I decided to channel those requests at one place and make it available to everyone so all of you guys can benefit.
