Efeito da terapia laser de baixa intensidade (808nm) no controle da dor neuropática em camundongos
Andrade, Ana Laura Martins de
MetadataShow full item record
Pain, according to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) can be defined as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that is associated with actual or potential damage or described in terms of such damage". Lesions of the central or peripheral nervous system can lead to a special type of pain, called neuropathic pain. The methods used for the treatment of neuropathic pain injuries include medications, physical therapy, psychotherapy and anesthetics and neurosurgical procedures. Among the resources used by physiotherapists to low intensity laser therapy (LLLT) has been showing good results in controlling neuropathic pain. Because few studies and controversial data on the laser dosimetry in neuropathic pain judges is of great importance to research in establishing appropriate parameters for the application of this therapeutic resource. 50 mice of Swiss-albino strain were used, males weighing 25-30 grams. The experimental model of neuropathy was used by the partial sciatic nerve injury by chronic constriction surgery sciatic nerve (CCI). The animals were divided randomly into 5 groups: sham (GS) Group: Simulation of chronic constriction surgery sciatic nerve (CCI); control group (CG): induction of neuropathy by CCI surgery with application of laser off; laser therapy group 10 J / cm2 (GL10): induction of neuropathy by CCI surgery with application of LLLT (808 nm), with fluency of 10 J / cm2; Laser therapy group 20 J / cm2 (GL20): induction of neuropathy by CCI surgery with application of LLLT (808nm), with fluency of 20J / cm2; gupo laser therapy 40 J / cm2 (GL40): induction of neuropathy by CCI surgery with application of LLLT (808nm), with fluency of 40J / cm2. Pain treatment was performed by LLLT 3 times a week, every other day, in a ninety days period with different dosimetry (10 J / cm2, 20 J / cm2, 40J / cm). For nociceptive evaluations were used the Hot Plate Test for the thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical hyperalgesia and the Ralndall Selitto test. ELISA assay was used to quantify β-endorphin. The results showed that LLLT induced a significant increase in nociceptive threshold mainly in the groups using LLLT with higher fluence (20 J / cm2, 40 J / cm2), and demonstrate an increase in β-endorphin levels in the same groups. Thus we can conclude that LLLT significantly reduces neuropathic pain, being a mechanism of stimulation of β-endorphin.

What kind of nut am I?
It grew on a medium sized tree in the garden.
The fruit was round and green
And I had no idea what it was.
I thought perhaps a nashi pear as some of the neighbours grow them.
Eventually the green skin began to split.
And when it fell to the ground I peeled it and discovered it was –
A walnut!
How ignorant can one be!
Post script - Interesting news release:22 April 2009
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - By eating walnuts, women could reduce their risk of breast cancer, researchers said on Tuesday.
"Walnuts contain multiple ingredients that, individually, have been shown to slow cancer growth including omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytosterols," Hardman's team wrote in a summary presented at the American Association for Cancer Research's annual meeting in Denver.

Here's my pick from the Hips n' Thighs Remix EP by My Nu Leng & Majora. A Real banger from Kry Wolf! Check out the rest of the ep here including remixes from GoldFFinch and Alias. Out soon on 877.
Tune in to Friend Within's bangin' remix of Mark Starr's Rood Boy – available exclusively via dripfm!
Following on from Rumah's largely acclaimed Stutter/Murmur EP, which received support from the likes of Skream, Dusky, Sei A & More. South London Party starters Church are back with another offering from new blood Viers. The A Side reflects Viers deep and atmospheric approach to his productions, with subtle elements and a weighty sub pulsating throughout the track, it's the perfect tool to hype up an audience. The catchy hook and hefty 4/4 beat of the flip side Your Body is also sure to receive a lot of attention from all the right sources landing somewhere in between House & Techno territory. Apes & Seb Wildblood's mix of 0002 offers a more nostalgic take on the track with a heavy focus towards the dance floor, yet managing to retain a strong sense of atmosphere throughout . Squarehead offers up a lighter hearted cut of Your Body, his House & Garage influence track is carried by a stomping baseline and ravey synth lines. The Release furthermore cements Church's reputation as an imprint and goes some way into moulding something of a signature sound. (Church BP, 2013) Beatport here.
GoldFFinch are back….back on Saigon Recordings…..back to the dancefloor. POW! 4 new tracks on an EP entitled 'The Volume', guess what the first track is called… yes, we don't do clever EP names. The lead track is smashing up the airwaves/dancefloors, we do sincerely hope that no injuries have occurred due to any aggro-dance moves (we're not liable). Support across the board from the likes of Paleman, Loefah, Mary Anne Hobbs, Benji B – this supreme Belgian duo are going from strength to strength, fresh from their appearance on the US based Dirtybird label. GoldFFinch/Saigon fully endorse the use of Peacock related imagery. (Surus, 2013) Buy it here. Beatport here.
Chris Jarman, previously known as Raiden, now known as Kamikaze Space Programme. Get used to it. WNCL Recordings is proud to present KSP's debut vinyl offering where we see the producer bringing his found-sound recordings (bits of old truck and a pocket full of coins amongst other things) from the field to the warehouse… (Surus, 2013) Preview slightly longer snippets and buy this release here.
Here's some fresh Artifact stuff, words from the dude himself: Drafty EP – It's been a little while since I released any music, and whilst i've been busy working on my next few releases, I wanted to take this opportunity to release some music i've been making over the past year. This is an EP of several new tracks, as well as several that never really got placed anywhere. (Artifact SC, 2013)

text: Hi all! Writing an article for a magazine, I need to have a text-only file. The guys want no markup at all, so I cannt send LaTeX code, for proofreading whatsoever. But I still want to read my document as a nicely formatted pdf. As I am quite lazy, I don't want to write two versions, so I tought of some TeX hackery giving me either text only or the pdf. I am doing this with the following code in the header: \immediate\openout13=\jobname.textonly \let\ifREINTEXT \iffalse %% change this (true/false) to toggle text/TeX \ifREINTEXT{ \def\TeX{TeX} \def\LaTeX{LaTeX} } \fi \begin{document} \ifREINTEXT\def\par{^^J}\immediate\write13{\fi And at the end of the document \ifREINTEXT}}\fi That works fine and gives me everything I need. But as this doesn't look like the best solution I wondered wether there is a package doing this in a nice way. If not so, would it be a good investment of time to write one myself, i.e. does anybody know wether this would be usefull? cheers Arno -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you don't know, already, there's this show on FX called Legion. It's headed by Noah Hawley the show-runner/writer of Fargo on FX. I've seen and loved season 1 of Fargo.
Legion is something altogether different. This show challenges everything you think and know to be real. It questions you, the viewer. It questions itself.
There's this theory about parallel universes. It's really fun to think about, and I think Noah Hawley and I would have a great time talking about it on my podcast, You And Me And Thoughts And Talk with Doug Culp.
There's an alternate universe where I didn't shamelessly plug my podcast. There's another where I misspelled "there" as "their". There's another universe where I apologize for apologizing, one where I'm a captain of industry, and another where I exclusively drink Diet Coke for some reason.
I hate the taste of Diet Coke. In an alternate reality, though, a concurrent reality…Diet Coke is all I'll drink.
Enough examples of alternate versions of myself, although, sometimes I'll see someone and think "That's me from another reality."
I'm glad to not be the "No more houses" version of myself. Watch the show, you'll get it. You're behind though. It's only in season 2, don't worry. You're not THAT far behind.
Ya know, there's probably a version of you that's completely caught up on the show. Who knows if the show is the same in that reality though? We've only got this one. Our, current, time.
What we do with our time speaks volumes of us as people. It speaks to our value to others, and to humanity as a whole.
If you sit around all day every day, with no hope nor drive to accomplish anything, that's your prerogative. If you make creative things, if you create for yourself, in any respect, you're expressing yourself whether you mean to or not. There's another reality where I didn't just take a break to eat a bite of that Nutrageous bar. Another where I never stopped going to church.
I wanna talk about churches, in the whole, for a moment:
Churches are excellent for teaching us how to be good people. They are certainly excellent at collecting money and expanding. Great communities within churches. There's a real kinship.
"You've been through what I've been through. We'll always have that." It's a tale as old as time.
I'm grateful for what I learned in church. Be a good person. Try not to hurt anyone. If you do, apologize, make restitution, and move forward. Always learning, always growing. Harmonizing together to beautiful hymns, getting baptized, BAPTIZING, paying tithing, obeying the "Word of Wisdom" (which I still maintain is pretty good.), Boy Scouts, 2-year missionary work in Dominican Republic! I went around, door to door, preaching "the good word of the Lord" (which is usually pretty good).
Churches are subreddits. Think about it. Each tiny branch off of Reddit is a different way of thinking, a different way of understanding the world and the things that happen to us. "It's out of our control" preachers say. "Whatever happens is in God's hands now." That's a popular one.
What if we're always active? What if we're actively pursuing what we love doing without any shoeing the people we're viewing? What if I had a solution to end all homelessness in the world? Would you back it? Cause I do have it. I've drawn up plans in the form of schematics and blueprints of what will be; what will solve homelessness forever.
It's gigantic, ambitious af, and it's going to take some time, but it will work. I've included part of it in my pilot script about a homeless vigilante who gets street justice on bad drivers. It's called Roofless.
FX, AMC, Syfy, HBO, HMU.
Anyway I finished writing that script with a Lyme Disease meds-needle in my wrist vein cause I ha e Lyme Disease and am undergoing occasional meds. I could use more. I get sore just getting high scores on Robotron: 2084's permanent board. Need a pen AND a sword. Piano and guitar chords, watching my Star Wars, stand-up in MY tours, gonna get high? Course. Always using the force.
The force feelsike it could be a real thing that exists and none of us truly understands. What if you could grasp the reality of certain elements and contort them to your will? Jesus walking on water. Was it stepping on the water's surface or repelling it? There's science to everything. Positivity breeds friendships and a general sense of well-being. Negativity fucks it up, but without the bad we wouldn't know the good. Yin & yang is real. There'll always be some macho asshole trying to defend misogyny and hate-speech, clinging to the constitution.
"Freedom of speech!" they yell. "The sacred document!!" Agreed, we do have freedom of speech. It's not about not saying the words themselves, but about respecting the history of those words and terms which could induce trauma in someone else's life. If it's between being good to everyone and trying to respect humans, or, induce trauma…what will you do? Try to be excellent to each other. Bill & Ted got it.
I know things look bleak in the news. It's always bleak, but the bleak is in the leak, slaps us right across the cheek. Every day, we all say, that the hospital horse is normalizing, but he's propagandizing, totalitarianism rising, hospitalizing, criticizing visine users, cannabis is gonna solve the crises, Sagittarius or even Pisces, from meanies to nicies. Always spicy.
So, we need to lift each other up. Maybe get a nup, always making sure they're Mountain Dew in my cup.
Okay done with the impromptu rapping, that is, unless you're still clapping. Or possibly napping. Lips are chapping, people crapping, and the Mexican Coke is still capping, swimming, lapping. Bootstrapping.
Meantime, listen to my podcast #YAMATAT aka #YouAndMeAndThoughtsAndTalkwithDougCulp ep 227 – Ethan Nicolle (creator/artist for Axe Cop).
http://www.yamatat.com/podcast.html OR on Apple Podcasts OR on Stitcher. It's free.
Churches are subreddits for understanding the world.
Pot and mushrooms are good. They've both been used as medicine to treat PTSD.
Parallel universe theory makes sense, and it would stand to reason that there's some ghost realm on this planet that exists on a parallel ghost plane. (Ghost Plane, Rated-R)
Stay tuned for updates on shows and my upcoming stand-up tour, Duplex Comedy Suplex: The Lyme Disease Awareness Tour!

Slip Disc Ayurveda Treatment
Slip Disk is a cause of multitude of troubles and affects body functions in diverse ways. From continuous pain to difficulty in walking, a slip disk causes chronic pain that gets hard to bear with time. Discs are shock-absorbing pads between the consecutive bones of the spine. Due to injury, weakness or extreme endurance, a disc may split or rupture thus causing it to slip.
The condition is commonly known as herniated slip disc and causes severe pain. The pain arises due to "Nerve root compression" because of slipped discs and thus affects varying portions of the body. Ayurvedic treatment for slip disc is an effective way to alleviate the pain associated with the complication and grant the spine an incremented strength in order to regain its normal posture and position.
The main focus of the slip disc treatment in ayurveda is on the compressed nerves and the treatment helps relieve the pressure on them in order to reduce pain and prevent muscle spasms as well.
Slip disc ayurveda treatment explained:
The ancient healthcare remedies of ayurveda offer a perfect relief against the troubles created by a herniated disc and the main focus of the treatment lies on:
- Strengthening and reinforcing the connective tissues and muscles that hold the spine.
- Relieve the compression of nerve roots and also reduce muscle spasms.
- Relieve the pain in the affected areas by improving nourishment along those areas and increased circulation.
The various ayurvedic therapies that are known to grant an effective relief against the troubles caused by a herniated disc have been explained as under:
Kativasti is a treatment in ayurveda that helps treat a slipped disc with medicinal oils and slight pressure application along the waist area of the body.
A head-to-toe massage with slow and rhythmic motion helps relieve the affected area of pain and relaxes the muscles and nerves around the same. Lukewarm medicated oil helps accelerate the healing process and de-stresses all the stiffened joints.
Massaging the body with poultices made from therapeutic herbs and healing oils signifies Kizhi. In this process, the body tissues accumulate the rejuvenating oils while eliminating the toxic elements from the body.
Dhanyamla Dhara
A continuous flow of warm medicated oils throughout the body helps in attaining the stability of Doshas and prepares the body for spine repositioning in slip disc treatment. It helps the body to re-vitalize and regain the lost strength from the refreshing herbal oils.
Ayurveda in India offers a tangible replacement to surgical approach for treating a herniated slip disc and is a viable cure for the same. The slip disc treatment in ayurveda helps gain a substantial relief from severe pain and gradually fosters complete cure of the same.

Inside Story04 Aug 2018 19:05 GMT Weather, Europe Temperatures in Europe are soaring close to their highest ever. Forty-eight degrees Celsius is the current record, set in the Greek capital, Athens, back in 1977. This weekend's continental heatwave is expected to smash the all-time high. Hot air from Africa's baking Spain and Portugal in the Iberian Peninsula. Record-breaking temperatures have been recorded in eight Portuguese towns - and there's a widespread red alert for wildfires. In Spain, heat stroke killed at least three men. Heatwave warnings have been issued in 41 of the 50 Spanish provinces where temperatures are expected to soar to 44 degrees.

Tuesday 3pm – MORE sightings of orange light 'UFOs' over Louth have been witnessed recently – leading some to suggest the mystery is far from solved.
As the Leader reported last week, Legbourne residents Jeff and Eve Sardeson spotted three orange orbs moving silently across the sky from their garden on August 24.
Now others have come forward to say they saw similar lights last Saturday, September 6.
One witness, David Winfarrah from Louth, said the encounter left him shook up: "I was walking near the old malt kiln at around 9.30pm and saw an orange light hovering and moving around in an erratic way before disappearing. I didn't know what it was and it really shook me up so I turned back for home shaking."
David Howard from Louth said he also saw orange lights on Saturday night: "I was outside my house with a neighbour looking towards Grimsby and saw three of the lights moving across the sky in the same pattern."
On reader suggestions they could have been sky lanterns, Mr Howard added: "There wasn't much breeze that night, and if they were sky lanterns I would have expected some flickering or variation in their flight pattern, but there wasn't."
However, as previously reported, some readers who claim the truth is out there have contacted the Leader with their theories.
Ellie Butler from South Ormsby claimed to have seen one of the orbs up close, as she explained: "The orange lights had me confused too as I was at Cadwell recently and spotted one.
"However the next night I witnessed the truth – they were indeed sky lanterns. One set off from a tent near ours and headed off towards Louth with a beautiful orange glow."
She added: "So I am afraid the UFO is now an identified flying object."

Prince Harry Hinted That Royal Babies Aren't Too Far Off For Him and Meghan Markle
We've seen the adorable moments between Prince Harry and children over the years and we have no doubts he will make a wonderful father. We may even get to see him in action sooner rather than later.
After announcing their engagement in Princess Diana's Memorial Garden at Kensington Palace, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat down for a televised interview.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were all smiles for their first candid interview with The Guardian.
The couple sat together closely and spoke candidly about managing their relationship with their busy travel schedules and their shared passion for humanitarian causes. When the interviewer asked, "Children?" Harry responded good-naturedly with a chuckle and a little stammer: "Not currently no," and then added, "one step at a time and hopefully we'll start a family in the near future."
The couple is comfortable with children. Harry especially has a history of being adorable with them.
The couple's ease with the question suggests that while they have only just become engaged, thoughts of beginning a family together are not far off. Meghan mentioned meeting many of royal family members and emphasized how important it was for her to feel connected to Princess Diana.
We know we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves—the couple should take their time and enjoy this moment, not to mention

Depuy Hip Recall Replacement Lawsuit
Depuy Hip Class Action Lawsuit
The following Depuy lawsuit Q&A has been put together as a general guide to answer some of the most common questions you have asked us about the Depuy Class Action Lawsuit as well as individual hip implant recall lawsuit information.
Q. My husband has the recalled Depuy hip implant, but we do not understand what this is all about. Can you explain this to us in plain english and let us know what we need to do next to file a lawsuit?
A. Thank you for writing us in reference to your husband's Depuy hip implant lawsuit. The Depuy ASR hip implant lawsuits are a result of these orthopaedic hip devices being recalled due to their abnormally high failure rates and studies showing that these recalled hip implant devices have caused metal poisoning resulting in nerve damage and tissue death in the bodies of Depuy hip replacement implant patients. Thus type of poison can cause serious permanent damage to the implant patients tissue health or death of.
The Depuy ASR and the Depuy ASR XL have been ordered recalled globally, with instruction that every single Depuy hip implant patient be tested for metal poisoning.
Q. Hello and thank you so much for fighting to have these dangerous hip implants recalled. I am an active housewife / soccer mom and I was told that these Depuy hip implants were the best option for my lifestyle I have already had to have revision surgery after my implant dislocated. I cannot afford to pay for any test or another revision surgery so my question is will Johnson and Johnson pay for my testing and surgery?
A. Thank you for writing and giving us permission to repost your question.
The sad reality is that without legal representation ( a lawyer ) Johnson and Johnson Depuy may try to short change Depuy hip implant recipients and force them to pay for their own surgeries, testing and follow-up care.
The lead attorney has extensive experience in this area of law and has already began the process of forcing Johnson and Johnson to not only pay for all testing and medical care related to the Depuy hips, but has also began to file lawsuits against Depuy for monetary compensation related to the recalled hip implants.
Q. I have not had any problems with my Depuy hip implant, am I still at risk?

With apologies to Dr. Seuss.
Did I ever tell you the makers of RAC
had seven features and named each flashback?
Well they did, and it wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when the customers wanted a clue
as to how to keep data from getting deleted
the RAC folks said "flashback" and customers heeded.
They turned on all seven of those flashback features
Each one was a slightly dissimilar creature.
Some used the UNDO, some used flashback files
Some just renamed tables to bin$ styles.
One was a place you keep things for recovering
Another was just for forensic discovering
With so many features called by the same name
when thinks broke no one knew just which one they should blame.
On a Friday three minutes past seventeen hundred,
users ask, "What's the deal? Our data's been plundered."
"It looks like all names in the customer table,
are now 'John Q Public,' a certain mislabel."
It was Nimrod, an intern fresh from his instruction.
What he thought was just test was really production.
"No Problem," says Morton, the wise DBA,
"Flashback is on. I'll restore it today."
First Morton asked Nimrod what time he committed
his update that had any where clause omitted.
"I ran it at just past noon yesterday lunch,
It ran for so long that I went for a munch."
By now it had been almost thirty one hours
but Morton knew that he could call on his powers,
and on the mere fact that that the undo_retention
was set to two days, a quite lengthy extension.
But woe! When he tried to engage Flashback Query,
he got "snapshot too old" and it ruined his theory
that undo_retention makes Oracle hold
all undo data no matter how old.
It turns out that there was no undo_guarantee
or autoextend which would also be key
to use all Flashback features reliant on Undo
A realization he would slowly come to.
Now Flashback Transaction and Versions Between
were out of the picture, although unforseen.
But he still had four more kinds of Flashback to try
So he thought them each through, to see if they might fly.
Undropping the table would use flashback syntax,
But that wouldn't help, since the table was intact.
With database flashback all could be reverted
But subsequent changes would then be subverted
Do you know who was governor of California
When Flashback Data Archive came out and I'll warn ya,
it will not help poor Morton, though it's called Total Recall.
He'd have had to enable it for tables to see all.
The last of the flashbacks was the old FRA,
the Flashback Recovery Area they say.
And it's just a directory where things are kept
Like logs and old backups made while Morton slept.
So after all that there was nary a way
to use Flashback of any sort to save the day.
Old-fashioned LogMiner was what Morton used
To restore all the rows that poor Nimrod abused.
With so many flashbacks and so much confusion
I bet that Oracle regrets the profusion
of so many things that they call the same name.
But now its too late and there's no one to blame.

HANOVER, Ind. -- The Trine University women's volleyball team picked up their fifth win of the season by sweeping Capital University, 3-0, in their first match at the Hanover Invitational.
The Thunder took a quick lead in the first set pulling ahead 7-2 and then building the lead to 13-5. They would hold the lead throughout the rest of the set despite a few close calls from the opposition and took the set 25-19.
The second set was much closer with the teams pulling even with each other 13 times. Late in the set Trine found themselves down 20-17 before going on a five-point run on the back of good serving from junior Sarah Toles (Kendallville, Ind. / East Noble). The team would go on to take the set 25-21.
The Thunder faced their biggest deficit of the night during the third set of the evening going down 7-2 early and then 12-6 a short time later. The team continued to trail but cut the deficit at 18-16. They then went on an eight-point run behind the service of junior Madison Munger (Indianapolis, Ind. / Franklin Central) to take the lead and force five match-points at 24-18. It would take them three but they would win the set 25-20 ending the match with the 3-0 victory.
Munger led the way offensively in the contest coming away with 17 kills in the contest on the back of a .244 attack percentage. Toles turned in eight kills of her own and led the team with a .357 attack percentage and with three service aces.
Junior Lindsey DeCamp (New Haven, Ind. / New Haven) turned in a 23 dig performance and classmate Jacqueline Baughman (Lake Orion, Mich. / Lutheran Northwest) led the way with 25 assists. Senior Danielle Stanichuk (Troy, Mich. / Athens) came away with three aces while adding eight digs.

Top 10 Metal Songs with Non-Standard Song StructuresMetal_Treasure The most common, standard/traditional song structure is this:
(Intro), Verse-Chorus, Verse-Chorus, (Bridge/Solo), Chorus, Chorus.
Song structures that differ significantly from the most common structure are considered Non-Standard.
I made a list about the non-standard song structures where you can see more details - Top 10 Possible Features in a Non-Standard Song Structure.
The Top Ten
This song has no chorus. But it's amazing. - Metal_Treasure
No chorus?! So what? - Metal_Treasure
There's a bridge instead of a guitar solo. Great song by a great... soloist. Jeff Waters made songs with 3 and more solos but here he decided to do something else. - Metal_Treasure
This song starts with a guitar solo. Crazy approach but sounds awesome. Love this song. - Metal_Treasure
There's no chorus. Did Iron Maiden forget to write a chorus again? Kidding - I know they didn't forget: they just experimented with something different. - Metal_Treasure
It starts with a guitar solo - Metal_Treasure
There's a bridge instead of a guitar solo. - Metal_Treasure
1) it has different verse structures (if these different parts can be called "verses" in the strict sense)
2) it has a pre-chorus that is an optional part of a song - Metal_Treasure
It has a pre-chorus which is an optional section but this isn't the most surprising thing. Details are more interesting because Blind Guardian used the pre-chorus differently:
1) they put the pre-chorus in the middle of the verse and not in its end, where the pre-chorus is supposed to be. Normally, the pre-chorus is right before the chorus but Blind Guardian put a pretty long section between the pre-chorus and the chorus.
2) there's no pre-chorus in the last, 3rd verse
3) pre-choruses are with different lyrics
4) pre-chorus is my favorite part of this song - I think it's even better than the chorus (the chorus is the section starting with "There on the battlefield she sings Praise, hallelujah...")
Pre-chorus 1:
"Don't call it hopelessly insane Oh Oh Oh
I go and grasp the grail Oh Oh Oh
But in a graceful way Oh Oh Oh
Illegally, my aim
The grail will cross the border now"
Pre-chorus 2:
"So after all, in vain Oh Oh Oh
I've met him and found ...more - Metal_Treasure
There are 2 guitar solos in the intro (and a 3rd one in the middle of the song but this isn't unusual) - Metal_Treasure
The Contenders
Please do not bash this. But this song should be on the list because it has no chorus.
This song, like Holy Wars, has no chorus. Still awesome!
This song has no chorus.
The song starts off with a guitar solo, has two verses back to back with a guitar hook and choruses with varying amounts of words.
All in all, a great song.

wedding fever
Anyone who reads our blog regularly will be aware my sister's wedding is in 10 days time and excitement is deffinatley mounting in the Pope household . I'm not sure what the children are more excited about, the prospect of being bridesmaids and pageboy or going on an aeroplane.
Anyway apron and pinny month is over and July is going to be wedding month. I've been mentioning confetti in my posts recently and if you have lavender or roses in the garden try drying the flowers. I've added a few sprigs of dried rosemary and pudding rice to lavender and rose petals to make the confetti for my sister. You'll have to wait till I return from Spain to see what I've done next, but you can just put the confetti in nice little baskets, either for the bridesmaids to carry or to place at the exit so people can grab handfuls as they leave the venue. It smells absolutely amazing and you don't have to wait for a wedding to use it, either bowls of pot pourri or lavender bags work just as well. I have to confess to just putting the left overs in a large kilner jar on a shelf just because it looks nice.
The other thing you can do with the lavender is sprinkle it down the aisle before guests/bride arrive. As people walk on it the heady smell is released (I don't know if this also works with the rose petals, but it would look nice). And of course it is all wonderfully biodegradeable!

Easton soccer teams to open at home Friday
Three girls and three boys soccer games, all involving Class D schools, are scheduled for Friday in the region.
The Madawaska and Easton teams will play their first matches of the season. Both the girls and boys will play at 4 p.m. at Easton.
The Owl girls went 11-3 during the regular season a year ago and reached the Class D North semifinals, while at 3-9-2, the Bears did not quality for the postseason. Easton has a new coach in Katie Zarrilli, who takes over for Audra Fitzherbert.
The Madawaska boys went 7-7 last year and lost in the prelim round to MSSM, while the Bears had a 7-6-1 record and also lost in the prelims, to Hodgdon.
The Washburn girls and boys each have played two contests and are still looking for their first victories. The Beavers entertain Wisdom, with a 4 p.m. start for both matches. It's the first games of the season for the Pioneers.
The Wisdom girls went 7-7 last season and lost to Washburn in the preliminary round, while the boys held a 3-11 record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
A doubleheader is planned at Fort Fairfield as Central Aroostook makes the trip from Mars Hill. The girls game is set for 5 p.m., followed by the boys game to be played under the lights at 7 p.m. Both the Tiger and Panthers squads are coming off successful debuts against Washburn. The CA teams swept the Beavers on Aug. 10, while the FF squads won both matches played on Aug. 14.

It is understandable why men want to hide with enlarged breasts, but it is not a hopeless condition, because it is a treatable condition. Enlarged male breasts can be defeated with proper treatment. Men with female-if breasts have the options to get rid of an enlarged male breast with the treatment suitable for them. Here are some of the common treatments.
It is an expensive treatment and rarely covered by insurance, but it is an instant solution for men with female-like breasts. The expertise of the cosmetic surgeon is a big factor contributing to the success of the procedure, but not all surgeons are created equal, there are cases where patients are dissatisfied with the result. Cosmetic complaints can vary from scars to asymmetrical or uneven breasts or nipples. Each operation poses risks in response to anesthesia, blood loss during and after surgery and infections. While breast reduction surgery is the common cosmetic procedure now, you need to be careful and do more research before subduing yourself under the knife. In addition to the source of the money for the operation, a careful study of the surgeon's reputation or expertise and your state of health should be taken into consideration with great attention.
Herbal breast reduction treatment.
As a result of intensive research from leading medical scientists and nutritionists, herbal breast reduction treatment was developed to help men with female breast or gynecomastia cope with their condition without the risks of costly breast reduction surgery. The vegetable ingredients target the fat cells in the mammary glands to reduce breasts size. Herbal treatments are not that expensive and risky operation, but it takes time and dedication to see the results you want. Before you start an herbal treatment, it is best to consult your doctor, especially if his health.
For men with female-like breasts, dealing with gynecomastia is not easy, but every problem has its Titan Gel solution. It is up to you to find the best solution that will work for you, but it is always best to explore non-surgical options to avoid the risks of the surgery.

BNP: No to state bans
James Turley asks why the working class should have any confidence in the protection of the bourgeois state
It is perhaps the biggest cock-up in the British National Party's recent history.
Britain's largest far-right group has been damaged by a number of shock documentaries that suggest the party's core remains more enthusiastic about Hitler than its PR department would like us to think, as well as fairly closely monitored by various anti-fascist moles, who have made public the gory details of party disputes.
But the appearance, firstly on a now-defunct blog and afterwards on wikileaks.org,1 of a list of names and addresses of every party member is a disaster for Nick Griffin's gang. Several members hold 'sensitive' jobs in the public sector, including one police officer – to say nothing of soldiers, teachers and others. For these, and for politically softer elements, the security of personal details and obscurity of membership is a serious matter.
More active members, meanwhile, are often flagged up as such in the list, and will face their own difficulties. While militant anti-fascist numbers have dwindled dramatically since the mid-to-late 80s heyday of Red Action and Anti-Fascist Action (AFA), such groups have by no means disappeared entirely – the anarchist-dominated Antifa remains active, for example – so this compromise puts some of the 'harder' BNP elements at risk of physical harm.
The leak has also revealed that the BNP's definition of membership is almost as loose as the Socialist Workers Party's. One name on the list, a Dr Neil Bathurst of Exeter, was door-stepped by The Sun. He denied being a racist, citing his longstanding Buddhism, and claimed he had only been to three BNP meetings out of "curiosity". His final comment to the paper: "This will ruin me. I have been left suicidal. I want to die"2. What the Sun does not note is the good doctor's history on the far left, having been a member of several Trotskyist organisations, most recently the SWP.
The Independent, meanwhile, found another choice anecdote: "A 25-year-old model from London said she had been listed after signing a petition against the building of a super-mosque. 'I didn't know the petition was organised by them and have had nothing to do with them since. I don't know anything about politics'" (November 20). (The hapless model's story certainly reminds this writer of his first dealings with Anti-Nazi League petition-wavers as a naive 14-year-old …).
Other names on the list share addresses and surnames, and appear to be families signed up en masse.
This is about the extent of the direct effect the leak will have on the BNP's political practice, and it will be restrictive. The restrictions are modest, to be sure, and will dwindle, as time renders the names ever more out of date and the event more indistinct in the public memory. But as with any obstacle to the growth of a truly toxic organisation (if not a uniquely terrible threat, as Unite Against Fascism and the SWP would have it), it is – to that extent – a boon to the working class. Certainly we should not get caught up in moralistic questions over whether the mole had a 'right' to leak the list.
But this enumeration by no means exhausts the effects of the leak. In order to deal more extensively with its aftermath, we have to consider the political questions raised.
One of the first issues to emerge in the coverage was the fact that people like police officers are listed as members. PCs are, of course, banned from joining a laundry list of far-right organisations, which includes the BNP and hard-line neo-Nazi groups such as Combat 18 – the Association of Chief Police Officers considers membership of such groups a threat to race relations, never a strong suit for the British police. PC Steve Bettley, of Merseyside police, was suspended in the immediate wake of the leak.3
No voices in the political mainstream were to be found criticising the suspension, or the principle of barring BNP members from the police force, with the partial exception of Spiked4 (partial because Spiked is somewhat peripheral to the mainstream). But this immediately raised the further question: if BNP members should be unwelcome in the police, where else does this principle hold true? The list contains a number of people, unsurprisingly, in the armed forces. Should soldiers and sailors be dishonourably discharged for their party affiliation? What about nurses, teachers, doctors?
A related question arose with comments from Chris Keates, the general secretary of the National Association of Schoolmasters-Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT), who took the hardest line possible, demanding a total ban on BNP membership across the public sector.5 That is: what line should trade unions take with regard to BNP membership?
These are the core political questions: should the state vet public servants on the basis of political affiliation, and should the unions vet members on that same basis? In reality, the nature of the BNP is basically peripheral to these questions. Communists are not concerned for active fascists' economic (or, for that matter, physical) well-being. They certainly are not concerned for ours.
Chris Keates does not represent one view of the far right, as opposed to the communist view and others. He is the general secretary of a union which is traditionally on the right of the labour movement, and is certainly to the right of its main rival, the National Union of Teachers, presently with large numbers of organised far leftists (from the SWP and Socialist Party) on its executive. He is thus a voice of the labour bureaucracy par excellence (and indirectly, through the partial incorporation of the unions into the state apparatus, the state bureaucracy).
Communists, on the other hand, are the most implacable opponents of this orientation. We recognise that what these bureaucrats really fear is a challenge from their left, not from alienated racists and sundry elements.
It is therefore extremely regrettable – if, alas, hardly surprising – to find the SWP and the Morning Star's Communist Party of Britain in full accordance with Keates's views. A peculiarly Janus-faced organisation, which typically maintains a rigid third-period anti-Labour stance on almost every issue except anti-fascism, when suddenly it cannot thrust itself fast enough into bed with Blairites and worse, the SWP unites the worst elements of ultra-leftist and popular-frontist Stalinism.
An unsigned Socialist Worker piece fumes: "The left should seize this opportunity to cripple the BNP's ability to organise. We should drive the Nazis out of public service jobs such as teaching and health work. Police officers in the BNP should be sacked on the spot."6
At least it is 'the left' who should be doing the driving out. No such restraint from the SWP's Unite Against Fascism front, however: "Unite Against Fascism believe that it is in the public interest [!] to remove BNP members if we are to prevent abuses."7
In similar vein, the Morning Star editorial proclaims: "… it is scandalous that the police is the only career to ban BNP membership. What about teaching, the NHS, prisons and social services, where there is ample opportunity for those so inclined to show prejudice against the public?"8 And what about retail, catering, call centres …? In fact there are very jobs nowadays that do not involve contact with "the public" and where someone "so inclined" might "show prejudice".
But for the SWP and CPB the state – magnanimous guardian of the "public interest" that it is – should exercise its rational powers of discrimination to free 'our' (whose?) public services from the Nazi menace. Never mind that almost every incorporation of such powers into the state apparatus has rebounded with astonishing efficiency on the left. A particularly clear instance from British history is the Public Order Act of 1936, which was demanded by the popular frontist left in order to stop the British Union of Fascists. It was no time flat, of course, before communists were falling foul of its strictures, and in the 1970s its use saw a resurgence in repressing the Irish national liberation movement. Look also at the revival of Berufsverbot in 1970s West Germany – against 'extremists', who turned out almost exclusively to be communists.
At the core, this is nothing less than a class question – a question of confidence or no confidence in the bourgeois state to manage bourgeois political excrescences (eg, fascism), and selflessly to defend its enemies: the workers' movement and revolutionary left. Communists choose 'no confidence', and fight for the divestment of state rights – against fascists just as against everyone else.
The SWP/CPB response, on the other hand, is class-collaboration in chemically pure form. And, while as long as the far left remains peripheral in the working class such ideas have the appearance of a rather academic apostasy, where they have gained serious traction in our history they have led to often bloody disasters for our class.

Most people have an imperfection they want to see differently when they look in the mirror. Plastic surgery can make a huge difference. There are a lot of risks involved, and you need to be keen on them.This article will help you in determining whether this kind of surgery is right for you.
Ask to see the surgeon's portfolio of past patients looked after their surgery when you meet with a doctor. Ask your doctor any questions you have, and inquire whether you can talk to past clients to learn more about what the experience is like. This will help you know if the best doctor for you.
Talk to your surgeon about antibiotics. You probably need to take this medicine before the surgery in order to cut infection risks and complications related to your surgery. Get a second opinion if your surgeon does not plan to prescribe anitbiotics.
Find out from the surgeon if you need to make any cosmetic changes yourself prior to your appearance has to be altered before getting surgery.
Find out what school he attended, what year he graduated, and how many surgeries he has performed. Ask to see before and after shots of the surgeon's patients.
Always consider alternative options before choosing cosmetic surgery for positive singles. You may be able to find a solution to your problem without resorting to surgery. You may be able to resolve problems by visiting a dermatologist, going to a dermatologist or developing a better beauty regimen.
Look into whether or not your surgeon's malpractice insurance. You will want the policy to provide enough funds to cover reconstructive surgeries or inconveniences in the event of something were to go wrong while undergoing plastic surgery.
You don't want to save money by going to an unqualified surgeon or doing anything else risky, but there are some money saving options available. There are a number of foreign countries that have reputable surgeons for much lower prices than the United States would. This may not be an option, but you should at least think about it.
Irregular Heart Beats
There are several risks any time anesthesia is administered. One example of a complication associated with anesthesia is abnormal heart rates during the surgical procedure.General anesthesia has the potential to cause irregular heart beats. This can cause the fact that your blood flood is slowed down by the anesthesia. This irregular heart beats.
Talk with your doctor; have him break down each component of the final price.You need to come to an agreement on a payment deadline, and perhaps apply for a payment plan or financing in the case of expensive procedures.It is important to reach a financial agreement regarding your surgery.
Excessive Bleeding
Blood loss is very common when you are exposed to during cosmetic procedures. Bleeding is normal, but excessive bleeding is not and can create complications. Bleeding is common during the procedure and sometimes afterwards too. You may need corrective surgery to repair where the excessive bleeding has turned into pools of blood under your skin.
Be aware that the cost associated with any cosmetic procedure is subject to change. The amount of anesthetic, clinic charges and other fees. Make sure you consult with your surgeon or his financial department about the total cost of your procedure.Do not pay anything until you know what your out-of-pocket expenses will be.
Find out how much your surgeon has preformed the specific procedure that you want done. The more experience a surgeon has at performing this type of surgery, the more advance his skills are likely to be. This will have either a large pool of information to look into when determining quality.
When you are thinking of having plastic surgery, consider how much time you can take off for recovery. You need to know how long you have adequate time to heal if you have plans to go to a wedding or other event scheduled for soon after your surgery date.You don't want to have a big event planned for the timing is off.
Make sure you have given yourself plenty of recovery time after your plastic surgery. Some procedures require as much as four weeks or more of recovery time.Make sure you have planned enough time off of work for the surgery.
After thinking through the risk and benefits of surgery, you will be prepared to make a decision. Take the tips in this piece and make the best choice possible. You can change your appearance into what you want it to be if you make your decision responsibly.

You need to communicate with your lawyer.If your case involves approaching deadlines, then you need to provide all that your lawyer needs. This will help you in the chances of your case.
It is important for you and your attorney. If the lawyer makes you feel uncomfortable, you won't have a good client-lawyer relationship. Trust your instincts when choosing a lawyer that suits you.
Legal matters of any kind are not a lot of fun. The best thing to do is find a reliable lawyer who can help you with your problems. Hopefully this article has given you some helpful tips for finding your way through the court system and to a happy ending for your case.

I've been keeping pretty quiet about this (at least on the blog– in person, I almost can't stop talking about it), because this is a terrifying (yet super exciting!) undertaking, but I'm ready to share with the world… A cookbook from Fresh April Flours is in the making! [[Edit: As of June 1, 2015, The Chow Down is for sale on my blog!]]
My darling husband has been urging me for months and months to write a cookbook. The problem was, I couldn't even think of bringing myself to continue dedicating as much time as I do to my full time job, my workout schedule, and this blog and essentially have a side blog in the works. It just wasn't going to happen. It needed to be practical.
That's where the idea for this cookbook came from. I decided that rather than writing an extensive, chapter-filled cookbook full of recipes like the ones you find on my blog, I was going to narrow my topic and focus on several recipes of the same kind.
Cookies? Nah.
Cakes? Nope.
Candy?! No again.
Think… All of your favorite desserts rolled into one type of recipe that can be inspired by cookies and cakes and candy…
I have a few puppy chow recipes on this blog, but to be perfectly honest, I have a list of about 50 puppy chow recipes that I would like to make at some point. It's quite ridiculous. So I figured… Why not put them all in one place and allow my readers to make my recipes without being drowned in puppy chow recipes on the blog?! Perfect.
So what's going to be in this cookbook?
• 20+ puppy chow recipes inspired by your favorite indulgences, written by me (and taste-tested by some awesome family, friends, and possibly YOU –> read more below)!
• One full-color photo, styled and shot by me, for each recipe.
• Cup and gram measurements so my international friends can enjoy the recipes, too!
• Fun, easy, approachable recipes, just like the ones you're used to finding on my blog. Plus, puppy chow is pretty kid-friendly, so you can share this book with little bakers as well!
• Each recipe has a short description, telling you what kind of flavor profile you can expect (because some of my recipes got pretty creative!).
When can you get your hands on your own copy?
Great question! Although there is no set date yet, we are on track for summer 2015. We will launch a pre-sale prior to the release of the cookbook, and a meet and greet/book signing once the book is finally released.
And now, a small photo montage to get your tastebuds excited…
A puppy chow inspired by a favorite beverage…
…a favorite cookie…
…and a favorite spoon dessert!
So I said there was a GIVEAWAY, yes? Here it is.

I sincerely hope that you're looking forward to checking out the recipes I've been working on. I am so excited to be taking this next step and expanding my love for baking and sharing! It's been a lot to handle… Writing a book and continuing to live my regular life, which includes producing recipes for the blog, is exhausting. But I'm certain it is going to be so worth it! 🙂
Thank you, everyone, for all of the support and good luck entering the giveaway!

Easy, Sweet and Fun!
If you're looking for the easiest way out to hosting a truly memorable bridal shower, think cute little cupcakes served along with her favorite cocktails and you've got one sweet shower idea.
Truly, who doesn't love a cupcake? I don't know anyone in that category and if you do, dump them fast. You certainly don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
To host a cupcakes and cocktails bridal shower the first thing you're going to need are some fun invitations that state your intentions.

specifically for your cupcakes and cocktails party event.
Cupcakes and Cocktails Bridal Shower Ideas
The cupcakes and cocktails theme is something you can really get creative with. To help you get those imaginative ideas flowing you might like to visit this board at Pinterest that I created and filled with fabulous cupcakes and cocktails. Many of the pins there contain recipes too.
Important things to think about for the party:
You're going to want to be sure to have some non-alcoholic drinks available for those who don't imbibe and for the designated drivers at the event.
Keep the cocktail list small by serving a punch or two. Or choose something to be the bride's signature drink and only serve those along with some wine. You want to have fun without getting anyone totally smashed.
Decide early on for a color or flavor theme. You can use treats and drinks that only match the bride's color scheme, or not. Where does her taste lead? Is she a coffee lover? Or perhaps she likes all things fruity? Are you going to serve super sweet cupcakes or maybe just the more grown-up kind? There's tons of little sweets and tasty drink mixes to match just about anyone's favorite flavor.
Think about setting up a cupcake bar where you supply the already baked unfrosted goodies and let your guests decorate their own masterpieces. You could even have a contest to see who makes the best - worst one.
To make it even easier on yourself, have guests bring along their favorite cupcakes homemade or store bought, to share with the group.
It's easy to just serve the sweets but a few appetizers might go a long way towards filling up the folks in attendance.
And yes, cake pops and mini anything are welcome!
Coffee at the end of the night would be a GOOD idea.
Keep the decorations simple and you've got yourself an unforgettable shower theme that's easy to set up and super affordable for the people throwing the party.
And do PLEASE drink responsibly. This party is intended for grown ups only. Keep the kiddies away and keep a watchful eye on your guests. Don't let anyone leave or drive drunk... EVER.

Did you know that the custom of throwing a bridal shower dates back to the time when dowries were popular?
