Cancer treatments can have short-term and long-term effects on your hair and skin. If you've been through chemotherapy, you may have lost your hair (even your eyebrows).
Radiation treatments can cause skin changes such as dryness, redness, irritation and even a sunburn effect. Cancer survivors have identified that skin and hair changes are a primary concern during and after treatment.
Hair loss and skin changes are physical reminders of your cancer diagnosis and treatment. Many people tell me that they don't want to be constantly reminded of their diagnosis when they look in the mirror, or when they see friends and family out in public. For many women, creativity with wigs, scarves and hats can make a big difference.
Also, explore skin care products to moisturize and care for the face and body. Makeup can recreate eyebrows and add vibrant color to your face, lips and eyes. These are just a few ideas that may boost your spirit as you makeover your skin and hair. Many have stated that doing this can help to keep a sense of comfort and normality as you deal with the additional physical and emotional effects of cancer treatment.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) has supportive resources to help with hair and skin care. Their Look Good ... Feel Better program is available in most U.S. communities and internationally (www.lookgoodfeelbetter.org or call 1-800-395-LOOK). The ACS program is designed to meet the needs of men and women, and has a special program for teens.
I'd love to hear of your experiences, resources and ideas on this topic.

very nice sharing regarding hairs find out more hairs care and remedies on beauty tips
Greetings, I was diagnosed in March with breast cancer and had a lumpectomy and radiation.I am now on Arimidex for 5 years. I am now experiencing hair loss, a lot of hair loss. I am using prescription shampoo. I think it is mostly due to the Arimidex. I would like to know your experiences, please.
Feb 6th 2012,I had a hysterectomy,when ovarian cancer was discovered.first treatment resulted in vomiting. I ended up in the hospital for over 13 days.Now I have no hair,eyebrows,eyelashes.I suffer from insomnia,I fell very depress no-one seem to understand.I dislike the wigs.I have been on extended sick leave for the past7 months.I live alone.my blood count are always low after treatment which makes it hard to go out.please give me some hope.
I think It is a awesome post. can I get some more information to???
sORE OR " BURN" FROM MY TREATMENT. IT ALSO HAS BLISTERED. I AM USING A PEROXIDE SOLUTION
Regarding a wig Betty, I realize you may have one by now, but for me it was a waste of funds. I am an onset stage IV metatastic breast cancer patient. The chemo regimen caused a rash - primarily in my scalp - which rendered wearing the wig impossible. I have wen to work bare headed since Jan 9. My co-workers watched me lose my hair and are just beginning to watch my hair return. Personally, there was a sense of confidence in being 'bald.' I have never been much of a makeup wearer - It was a way to be true to myself to let others see me as I really was throughout the treatment - a reality check of what was happening. ALso, I agree--go to the Look Good Feel Better class near you. A wonderful program - with a wig to boot - try to take the class before you buy a wig.
My dtr just graduated from college and she requested the bald mom to be there. So, as you can see, it is a very individual decision - be who you are and don't let anyone make you feel your choice isn't the best for you. Good luck
I start radiation therapy for breast cancer soon and have been told no underwire bras which is all I own. can anyone who has been through radiation treatment recommend a comfortable bra ? Thanks!
Take a look at look good feel better just launched PSA that tells the lives of some of the program participants: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BivkShy0Gyo&feature=youtu.be
Also, WSJ just wrote an article about a study that was just released regarding the emotional/psychological effects: http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2012/04/24/help-with-appearance-can-boost-cancer-patients-spirits-survey/#
Well I just found out today at 2:30pm that I have breast cancer. It has taken me this long (8hrs) to be able to settle my mind enough to begin to process this situation, keeping in mind, I said begin. My husband works nights and is asleep and does not know yet. I am not much for fear and have an immensley large tolerance for pain. But I have to admit my mind is swimming with concerns, not for my future life, but the next few steps of my life. I have found that I am naseaus and I think its just nerves, who knows maybe I will lose some weight before treatment and none during. If anyone has any feedback about when they first found out about the cancer they had I would appreciate it.
I am up in the air about a wig. Any comments pro or con? Is it really worth the expense?
I started losing my hair within 2 weeks after my first treatment. I didn't lose my eyebrows/eyelashes until 1.5 months after my final round of chemo. My hair on my head was already coming back. I wore scarves mainly, and since I had to go back to wear glasses, I didn't feel "naked" when my brows and lashes disappeared. However, on the times I did wear a wig, I didn't look like I was "sick". My husband and daughter didn't mind me hairless. And since they didn't care, I wasn't going to worry what the rest of the world thought - they could just deal with it.
I would highly recommend the Look Good feel better program. I received at least $400.00 worth of makeup, received make up tips, learned different ways to tie scarves.The best part was I got to spend the afternoon with women just like me struggling with all the changes of chemo and radiation. It was a wonderful experience of women coming together and supporting each other.
Hi everyone...great disucussion and sharing of ideas. Theresa, it is true that hair thinning is a side effect for some women when they are on Tamoxifen as well as Arimidex. Try creative solutions such as scarves and hats with your hair style to cover the thinning.
I too have thin hair and no eyebrows two full years after chemo. I thought that the hair would grow back thicker but I am still taking tamoxifen which I understand can cause hair thinning. I am hopeful that someday my hair will not look so thin and look so obvious that there is/has been a problem with me. I do not want to wear my wig. I still have another three years of hormone therapy and wonder if aremidex (sp?) thins hair as well. Does anyone out there know if hair will still grow back in once tamoxifen is taken out of the equation?
I have found to make my "dull" face look brighter I add a bronzer to my foundation. It gives me color and I feel better.
Cancer survivors have many more issues to deal with than the temporary loss of hair and skin changes during treatment. As an onset stage 4 breast cancer survivor, I have been more concerned with the contents of the treatments that we use to resist the signs of aging that we are now so hopefully looking forward too; premature death from cancer is just not an option.
I am concerned with the transdermal effects of the chemicals in the moisturizer. Did you know that the favored new preservative is a chemical solvent named phenoxyethanol that is a USDA classified skin irritant and carcinogen usually found in paint, lacquer and jet fuel. Touted as a safer alternative to parabens that show up as estrogens in breast cancer biopsies. and that is just the tip of the toxic iceberg in the cosmetics industry.
I hate to self promote but some of your readers may find the preventative information I have researched in my 3 years BC mostly in remission by the way. I am at Help Your Own Healing,com.
I tried to take on the big bad boys and with thorough journalistic attention to research - no hearsay here - to pay it forward. Please drop by. Set up like a school for survivors, I am always bringing hopeful new data because hopelessness and helplessness are among our biggest enemies. Thank you, Sheryl, for the positive encouragement. Another great source that is often free at your oncologist is the book, Beauty Pearls for Chemo Girls by Marybeth Maida and Debbie Kiederer.
Been there, done that with the loss of eyebrows. This is the firt time I've heard about temporary eyebrows ktsmny. Good to know! I hardly had any before, but found it a challenge for some people trying to use eyebrow pencils that never wore makeup like I'm use to. I've shown some people how easy light short strokes with pencils would look fine, but this information is great; even if you used them only for special outings. Thank you for sharing. It is always good to come to this site to learn something new. I will be certain to share with the various support groups in my area.
very useful information.....keep it up!!!!
I lost my hair, eyebrows, etc to cancer treatment in 2009. My hair has returned but with a greatly receded hairline and NO EYEBROWS at all. I can comb my new curly hair forward to somewhat cover my forehead and where my sideburns should be but makeup was a poor substitute for my brows. I finally found temporary tattoos on-line and they stay on for 4 or 5 days. No more waking up and looking in the mirror at my "cancer face." Yeah!
I came across your blog when googling for cool biotechnology articles – didn't expect to find this, but enjoyed some of your posts. Keep it up.

Always forget how beautiful Jesse Eisenberg is and then really love when I'm reminded of it seeing new photos.
Here he is shooting Now You See Me in New York with Isla Fisher and Woody Harrelson yesterday. Mark Ruffalo was also on set in the afternoon with Dave Franco. Obviously we all have to see this movie. Remember, it's an original script too.

Already out from Kasil Workshop is the Fall-Winter 2011 denim lookbook, which features dark washed jeans in whiskered and straight leg fits that both men and women can appreciate. Kasil has evolved since the days when it was known as the It Jean with colorful back pocket embroidery: their use of a wool and denim blend in the collection lends a softness and warmth, almost like a cashmere sweater for the winter months. If you're digging the sound of that, then feast your eyes on a few previews set to hit stores before the last summer barbecue!

If you have seen the Puss in Boots movie (rated PG) then you know that Puss can be a bad kitty, but we forgive him because he visited the STACKS to answer YOUR questions. Read on to find out about his boots, his favorite dance move, and working with Shrek.
Do you know who your real parents are?
Puss: Sadly, we were separated shortly after my birth, but rumor has it that my father was a hurricane and my mother a volcano. . .it makes sense to me.
Would you rather be called "adorable" or "enormously fluffy?"
Puss: I would prefer a new term. . . "adora-normous-fluff-able!!!"
What is the worst thing someone called you?
Puss: Dog.
Who is your worst enemy?
Puss: Puss in Boots has no enemies! But I do not care much for bath tubs.
Since you're a criminal, what is one place you've always wanted to rob?
Puss: First of all, I am no criminal. . . I just like to borrow things sometimes, and have a tendency to never give them back.
What is your favorite food/drink BESIDES warm milk?
Puss: There is nothing like a warm bowl of Friskies on a cold rainy day.
How much whole milk can you drink?
Puss: How many cows roam the earth?
Do you like ice cream?
Puss: I like the cream. . . ice, not so much.
Do you have a favorite dance move?
Puss: A little jig I like to call. . ."The Forbidden Gato!"
What size are your boots? And what's your favorite type of boot? Cowboy boots? Rain boots?
Puss: My favorite type of boot is located on my little feets at all times. They are comfortable for any occasion. And the size is purrrrrfect.
Do like the song, "These Boots Are Made for Walking?"
Puss: Do I like it? I live it!!
How does it feel to star in a movie about you? Is it better than working with Shrek?
Puss: The green ogre will always be my great friend, but I must admit a close-up on me is much more flattering, baby.
What was your reaction when you heard you were starring in a movie about yourself?
Puss: Meow?
Who do you like better, Shrek or Donkey?
Puss: I know whose bread needs buttering. . . give me the ogre, baby!
How did Shrek and Donkey mess up during filming? Were there any funny bloopers?
Puss: The burro is constantly falling down and forgetting his lines, and the Shrek is always burping and farting. Both of them incredibly unprofessional, but quite funny.
Puss, you're amazing! But why are you so epic? Is it genetic?
Puss: What can I say? It is a Puss thing. . .

When using an enrolment key, the student is asked to supply the enrolment key provided by the first teacher listed in the course.
Because of the new role system all teachers at the site or category level are listed.
Grade 11 Biology (Currie/Woodland)
- Teacher: Mrs. L. Cote
- Teacher: Mrs. M. Orr
- Teacher: Ms. M. Murphy

Should be:

- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Links Hierarchy
If Currie is the "main" teacher, then you might want to create a new teacher role called something like "Head Teacher" (or something) for her (even if it has the same capabilities), and in the roles definition screen change the sortorder so that this role has higher precedence over "ordinary" teachers.
This sort order affects the sorting anywhere roles are displayed, such as here on the enrolment page.
Apart from that I just described, there is no other way for Moodle to guess automatically who you want to be the contact person.
The only other alternative would be to develop a new course setting so that the "contact person" could be defined.
Hi Martin,
This doesn't make sense to me:
Grade 11 University Prep Physics (Wood)
Teacher: Mrs. L. Cote
Teacher: Mrs. M. Orr
Teacher: Ms. M. Murphy
Teacher: Mr. L. Scanlan
Administrator: Mr. J. Wood
This course requires an 'enrolment key' - a one-time
password that you should have received from Mrs. L. Cote.
Doesn't the Admin role superceed the teacher role? Not sure why the Administrator wouldn't be listed as the enrolment key giver?
Also, not sure where the sort order is anymore?! It used to be in the course under participants (if memory serves).
For the course listed above the only teacher listed is the Admin - Mr. J. Wood
The really strange thing is, if you look at all the course in our science category, the names are all in different order.
And i cannot find any way to change the order the names are in because one one name is the teach of the course, the others are "site wide" teachers (because they need edit rights on the main page).
After looking at the information more closely. The last person on the list is the actual teacher of the course, while all the ones above are site level teachers.
This is quite confusing if that person has nothing to do with students individually, which is often the case for site-wide users, who seem to be listed here when given a custom role with view course allowed (see
MDL-11798). In some cases it is always the same person listed no matter what course and them receiving emails is not appropriate.
One way around this is moving teacher above administrator in the role definitions list and then you get a random teacher named. Alternatively you can change the language string enrolmentkeyfrom and hard code a message there with appropriate support contacts.
The former is not intuitive in terms of role hierarchies, and the latter is not flexible.
I can't think of a good way of nominating the main tutor without having that somewhere in the course settings or role assignments, similar to selecting hidden assignments perhaps.
Jeff, thanks for reporting this issue, and James, thanks for your comments.
Please see the FAQ about changing the name of the person holding the enrolment key in http://docs.moodle.org/en/Enrolment_FAQ for two possible methods.

Skip to comments.Film: President's father not Barack Obama
Posted on 04/26/2012 2:59:47 AM PDT by Conservative Vermont Vet
Whos your real Daddy? is a question that remarkably continues to dog Barack Obama, even as he proceeds into his fourth year as president.
With the release this July of Joel Gilberts full-length documentary, Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception, the mystery deepens regarding who Obama really is.
Whos your real Daddy? is a question that remarkably continues to dog Barack Obama, even as he proceeds into his fourth year as president.
With the release this July of Joel Gilberts full-length documentary, Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception, the mystery deepens regarding who Obama really is.
Gilbert rejects the official story that the Kenyan-born Barack Obama was the presidents father.
Instead, he argues, Frank Marshall Davis, the radical poet and journalist who was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, was the real, biological and ideological father of Barack Obama.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
I for one (as have many others) advanced the theory that the reason for O'Bummer's refusal to release his real BC had nothing to do with where he was born, but as there had to be some reason (logic itself concludes that) for his refusal, it could very well be that by doing so, it would contain information which would be highly embarassing and detrimental to his political aspirations.
Of course I didn't stop to think as outlined in this story that this information would not only be embarassing but would destroy his career as it would show his entire life was [intentionally] built on a lie in order to advance the narative of Barry having come from a family who's father was a poor farmer from Kenya.
Also, though it is now acceptable (even "fashionable") to be a Progressive and Americans are not that concerned with Libs (though they should be) most would NOT be so receptive to learn that their candidate (or CIC) had been groomed and indoctrinated by a rabid, dyed-in-the-wool Commie from a young age, who in fact, turned out to be his father.
Velly interesting, but I'd bet the farm this will be scant attention from the corrupt, uber left, in-the-tank-for, Dear Leader, Lame Stream Media and I KNOW, the Republican Establishment (to include Mittens) will run from this as fast as they can and won't touch it with a 100 foot poll.
The GOPe supports Obama's lack of documentation
and his ineligibility.
Heck, the GOPe is putting in its OWN ineligible
to erase THAT issue, too, like ObamaCARE.
If Obama's mother was only give FREE birth control (I dunno, about $3,000 worth of condoms each year) this never would have happened.
Here's the thing, though: If his story is merely "embarrassing" then why the forged Selective Service Registration or the "borrowing" of a Social Security Number that doesn't belong to him? These kinds of actions are indicative of identity theft, which often enough is a crime committed by illegal aliens trying to work themselves into the "system". There's a real tale to be told about all of this bs surrounding this guy. I wonder it it will come out in our lifetimes.
If Obama had been involved in the Trayvon Martin case instead of George Zimmerman, the press could have labled him a "White-African-American."
I am not certain that the picture of Stanley Dunham is correct, but the Community Organizer sure does look alot more like the Commie Racist Marshall Davis than he does the Commie Racist Barack Obama Sr.
Too funny!
Being a Seasoned Citizen who was around back then, there are many names we attributed to "loose" women (though we young men sought them, few though they were, lol) and in addition to "tramp," "whore," "skank," etc., the one which Rush referred to Sandra Fluke as, "slut" was first and foremost, the moniker of choice....not that I would ever suggest Barry's Mom was one as well.
Perish the thought!
They both have that angry look.
Amazing isn't it?
There are sooooo many people who probably know the truth and yet, nary a peep has materialized from his application to attend Occidental College to his SAT, Columbia, and on and on and on.
Scarry isn't it?
If the truth ever comes out--and no doubt at some time it will--it will too late and will not be until after he is defeated or has served his complete 2nd term....God forbid!
Obama looks most like Grandpa Dunham. Davis doesn't resemble him in the slightest.
and only she knew who the real father was.
His mother was a
If papa iz Daqvis (and he sure looks like hi) then the question of American citizeship is decided. Obama is an American bastard.
Appropriate choice of adjective.... quite 'contemporary'.
That photo is correct... in fact it is another "first" for our Republic. It is a cropped photograph of Obama's mother. She had no clothes on. No other pResident has the honor of having a mother who posed for a picture in the nude.
I agree. I'm thinking Grandpa Dunham knocked up some black hooker or maybe even Davis' wife and then said it was Stanley Ann's kid. I've always been curious as to why Madelyn didn't want to be buried next to her husband.
DNA would tell. Although Davis is dead, he has a living son. Barack Obama Sr. also has sons who are still alive. A determined investigator should be able to figure this out.
Davis' wife was a white socialite from Chicago. Stanley Dunham was white too.
Good luck ~ they burn witches at the stake around there.
Same angry, hateful look on his face.
Don't know Don't care.
He's gotta go. We cannot survive another 4 years of this turkey.
I agree. The brow and eyes are definitely FMD. Read Cashill's 'Deconstructing Obama'. There are a few interesting chapters devoted to this near the end. You'll find it VERY interesting!
she was a ....sixteen year old girl.
Davis had written about his sexual preferences conerning young'uns. If memory serves me correctly he even names one girl..."Ann"
You want the hair on the back of your neck to stand up?
Look up a poem Obama wrote when he was young, titled "Pops"
Furthermore, this clever investigator could obtain samples from Obama's African "kin" and prove that he was NOT related.
Well! You are not very clever, are you? You don't ask directly. There are many ways of collecting DNA samples from unwilling donors. Discarded trash is one. Cigarette butts. Use your imagination.
OK, you slip up on an African tossing some trash and he'll have a bodyguard bloody you up pretty bad. Your ordinary African lives in such an impoverished state that there is no trash in their lives ~ only the rich have trash.
Why is BO wearing X's glasses? How did he get them?
There is a point being made. Is he X's bastard son?
This supports strongly what you have been telling us for quite some time.
He spied for Japan during the Malay Campaign.
Sometimes things aren't always as they seem are they.
There were several indigenous revolutionary (Fascist/Communist/Cr*pola) groups in the Indonesian archipelago and adjacent South East Asian mainland.
Didn't you ever wonder why Stanley Ann was focused on Indonesia?
Not all of Obama's kin are impoverished. As far as I've read — just that one named George; and I'd bet that he'd provide a swab for a $100. Don't be such a "glass half empty" kind of guy.
Go ask George for a swab.
Freepers have been claiming for years that Chelsa is the kid of Web Hubble and that Bubba had a kid by a black whore.
There was no stomach for collecting a little money, hire a former FBI agent to collect DNA samples and prove for the historical record the true paternity.
It would be easy now but the propensity to make rather than make an effort to prove charges prevails. All it would take would be to begin a fund raising effort like the old days on FRee Republic, hire a reputable retired FBI agent and set him to work.
We in the present owe it to the historical record to find truth while it is possible.
This goes back to the Clinton days. How do you get a sample of the president's DNA?
I thought the official story was that Stanley Dunham wanted a son - and when a daughter was born, he still insisted on naming her after himself.
As Obama's uncle he'd be considered the father anyway.
Stanley Ann then raised him as his own ~ since she was like her mother ~ very forgiving ~ a sucker for third-world pleaders ~ and probably stray kitty kats and puppies.
There's more to it than that.
Oh, yeah, go to Africa and tell some of those guys you want some cells from the inside of their mouths so you can test DNA ~ right~!!!!
A smooth taking black investigator and some spending money is all it would take.
We are not talking about a Western nation.
Has this picture been posted before? Don't remember seeing it before. Also, as with other pictures it looks like zer0 was *inserted* between the 2 women.
More likely scenario:
Teenaged Ann was seduced and gotten pregnant by Frank Marshal Davis, Grandpa Dunham's good friend (and probable Communist Party cell leader).
Davis is married, and therefore cannot marry Ann (besides being much older). Grandpa Dunham refuses to allow Davis to get into trouble over this, and convinces Ann to quickly marry Obama Sr, one of the few blacks on the island. Obama agrees because this way he gets citizenship eventually. Madelyn is upset but goes along.
This is why Grandpa brings Barry along so often to meet Davis -- because Davis wants to see his biological son.
When Barry is older, Davis pulls strings of his old black radical friends to help Barry get into Harvard, and then set up in Chicago with the help of radicals like Ayers and Jarrett.

BLM Billings Seeks Comments on Forest Health Project
BILLINGS, Mont. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Billings Field Office has identified the need to improve forest health on public lands in the Boulder Watershed, located about 25 miles southwest of Big Timber, Mont., in the Absaroka-Beartooth mountain range. As a result, the BLM has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the 960-acre planning area and needs the public's input. Thursday, March 14th marks the opening of a 15-day public comment period for the Green Mountain Forest Health Project.
"The BLM wants to enhance forest health on public lands for a number of reasons, and we'd like to hear from the public on what suggestions or comments they might have on the project," said Jim Sparks, field manager of the Billings Field Office. "Ultimately, the actions taken would invigorate aspen stands, improve wildlife habitat, help regenerate woody plants and tree seedlings, and potentially protect human health and safety through the reduced risk of catastrophic wildfire."
Prescribed fire, salvaging insect- and disease-damaged timber before it loses marketable value, and reducing the current conifer encroachment are some of the proposed tools to be used that would change the vegetative composition and existing structure in the proposed management area. Private lands and local economies in the surrounding area would likely benefit as well.
Those who would like to provide comments should be as specific as possible with suggestions regarding resource issues, data sources, or alternative treatment methods to be considered in the EA. The EA may be viewed, beginning March 14, 2013, on the Billings Field Office website at http://blm.gov/40kd.
Send comments to Craig Drake, BLM Billings Field Office, at 5001 Southgate Drive, Billings, MT 59101 or e-mail email@example.com.
To be considered, all comments must contain the name and address of the submitter. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personally identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
The public comment period ends on March 29, 2013. For more information and full details on the Green Mountain project, contact Assistant Field Manager Craig Drake at (406) 896-5349. For the latest BLM news and updates visit us on the web at: www.blm.gov/mt and on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/BLMMontana.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation.

FGD: The Heat Is On
Ryan Pike
April 21 2013 11:25AM
We're into the last four games of the 2013 Calgary Flames season. It ends on the road, so those of you cheering for losses and good odds in the draft lottery can rejoice, because the Flames have been downright lousy on the road this year. They boast the league's 15th best home record and 29th best road record, which is how they enter the game at 25th overall with a 18-22-4 record.
Despite all the injuries, inconsistency and everything else, Calgary can still finish at .500. It's a minor miracle.
To aid the Flames in their battle with the Minnesota Wild tonight (4pm MT on Sportsnet West and The Fan 960), the club has recalled seven guys from the AHL's Abbotsford Heat: goalie Leland Irving, defender Mark Cundari and forwards Akim Aliu, Carter Bancks, Paul Byron, Blair Jones and Ben Street. Now that the Heat are done for the year, these guys will get tested at the big-league level to see if there's a spot for them in the new regime. Also, to sort of, maybe help the team win a better draft position.
The Flames have gone 5-4-0 since that 8-2 shellacking from the Oilers on deadline day. What's their secret? They've been playing the kids, and the kids have been doing pretty well. Max Reinhart has 2 points in 8 games. Backlund has 5 points in their last 9 games. Baertschi has a four-game points streak and has 5 points in his recent 7-game recall. Horak has 5 points since the deadline. Also, the goaltending hasn't been terrible for perhaps the first time this season.
As per the Flames, who posted Bob Hartley's line-up card on Twitter, here's how the lines shake out for your hockey heroes.
- Baertschi – Backlund – Cammalleri
- Reinhart – Horak – Hudler
- Byron – Street – Stempniak
- Jackman – Stajan – Hanowski
- Brodie – Cundari
- Giordano – Sarich
- Butler – Carson
- MacDonald
Scratched: Aliu, Bancks, Begin, Cervenka, Jones, McGrattan, Babchuk, Irving
Injured: Glencross, Tanguay, Smith, Wideman
I love that first line, to be honest. Mark Cundari (wearing 42) makes his NHL debut with the Flames. He's been compared to a Mark Giordano, given that he plays with a bee in his bonnet (well, not literally, the NHL has banned bonnets since the 1912 season). Also, keep an eye on who wears letters for the Flames – third alternate captain Curtis Glencross is done for the year with a knee injury, so either the club will dress two alternates (Giordano and Cammalleri) or they'll stitch a third A on somebody.
And finally, pour a bottle out for your dearly departed minor-league friends. Danny Taylor, Lance Bouma and Chris Breen are injured, so nobody expected them to get recalled. But if you're under an NHL contract, are healthy and didn't get the recall – looking at you, Kolanos, Nemisz, Walter, Testwuide, Lamb – it's probably not a good sign. Granted, the Flames no doubt didn't want to have too many bodies on the road with them this late in the season, but if they aren't trying to evaluate you at the NHL level, you might not have an NHL future.
As per the Wild's site, here's probable lines for the home side:
- Coyle – Koivu – Parise
- Pominville – Brodziak – Bouchard
- Zucker – Cullen – Setoguchi
- Clutterbuck – Mitchell – Granlund
- Brodin – Suter
- Clark – Spurgeon
- Gilbert – Stoner
- Backstrom
Scratched: Prosser, Falk
Injured: Harding, Rupp, Heatley, Konopka
The Wild have taken three of four meetings with Calgary this year – winning once each in regulation, overtime and the shootout. In a classy move, the team will be putting up Ben Hanowski's St. Cloud State hockey teammates in a box tonight. It should be no great surprise if Hanowski's teammates cheer for the team in green and red this evening.
Minnesota's on their way to the post-season and likely hoping that Calgary's bunch of young upstarts plays a playoff-style game tonight. It's probably a good hope to have, as that's how the Flames have been playing in their last nine games.
If the draft lottery happened today, the Flames would begin at sixth overall and have a 6.2% chance of winning the lottery and picking first overall. The Flames (40 points) cannot be caught by last-place Florida (32 points), so let's ignore them. Carolina (37) plays Tampa Bay (38), Colorado (35) plays St. Louis and Anaheim plays Edmonton (41) today.
The Calgary Flames will dress eight guys who spent significant time in the AHL or college tonight. They're starting their back-up goalie. They're missing four regulars, including two of their regular top-six forwards. Nobody will be too sad if the team loses.
But we've said that for the last nine games and this rag-tag group has responded well to whatever Bob Hartley is preaching. Don't be too surprised if the Flames give the Wild a bit of a fight.
Good to see McGratten sitting, can't have any of his highlight-reel goals in the lineup.
All I have to say is babchuk and sarich better be the only D ON THE ICE THE NEXT 4 games. Nothing but 4th liners and bench warmers double shifting now! TOP FIVE PICK OR BUST!
April 21 2013, 11:49AM
Hartley could honestly do nothing more to lose this game. I like his dedication.
April 21 2013, 11:52AM
Hartley could honestly do nothing more to lose this game. I like his dedication.
He could take a stick to Brodie in warm ups, then dress Babs in his place.
So the Flames had 6 AHL recalled players before, now they have 7 more. 13 AHL players; that's half a squad. They were terrible in Abby so I hope they bring that with them.
Kipper might as well start packing his house up and be getting ready to move back to Finland. He's doneski.
The Flames are an abysmal 5-13-2 and 3/4 opponents they face will be stiff competition. They've got games against the Wild, Blues and Hawks. It would suck not to get a guy like MacKinnon or Drouin, but maybe at least getting Barkov or Lindholm, both centers could be the start of something good.
If the Flames lose 4 straight and Tampa, Carolina, go 2-2, TB would have 42 points, Carolina would have 40 Nashville goes 1-3 they would have 41 then and only then would the Flames pick third with 40 points. The question is can TB, Car go at least .500 and Nashville go .250?
Actually, they could do more to lose this one--they could dress Babchuk instead of Brodie or somebody.
but lol at Stajan at 4th line center. I'd love to hear the conversation that prompted that decision (Hartley: "Who do we have at 2nd C?" Cloutier: "Stajan" Hartley: "He's too good, put him on 4").
poor stempniak has to lug around byron and street all game
If they don't lose tonight with this line-up, it is official that the Flames have pissed off someone in high places.
Considering Tampa Bay plays Florida and Carolina you have to think they end up with at least 42 points. If Nashville beats us they end up with 41 points. Lets just hope the Flames can lose all four games in regulation and we end up pickin at fourth staying at 40 points on the season. Even if we pick in the 5 or 6 slot you would think we could still get Sean Monahan, who at the begging of the year was a Top. 3 anyway and is a potential Firstline Centre in the making.
Cundari and Giordano look freakishly alike. Honestly, I think they are long lost brothers.
Minnesota is not in the same division next year. That alone is one reason to be happy about this game.
Cundari is tiny
Is it weird that I think this line-up is more impressive and even than most Flames rosters this season?
Probably because there are natural centers everywhere now. Not that they're ready for the big show (or meant to be here longterm), but its nice not to see a bunch of converted wingers trying to play the most important forward position....
Flames in in full tank mode HARD! What a bunch of hypocrites lol
April 21 2013, 04:26PM
Nothing bad to say about Cundari so far. Good skater.
Holy god what a shot
I guess if we throw enough rookies into the lineup some of them are going to score, but it seems like we've had a lot of first NHL goals lately.
April 21 2013, 04:33PM
That was a damn good shot.
That's better
April 21 2013, 05:01PM
Atta boy Sarich! Good try.
April 21 2013, 05:03PM
I can't watch thus game on tv, any suggestions on internet streaming options? Bear in mind, all have is an iPad.
April 21 2013, 05:04PM
Any play by play comments would be very appreciated.
Sarich and Stoner had a little tussle. Listening on the radio, so hard to tell who came out on top. Any thoughts from anyone watching?
April 21 2013, 05:12PM
Sarich and Stoner fight, not many landed. Stempy penalty for goalie int. 1-1 at about 15:00 of the second.
April 21 2013, 05:16PM
No score on PP. 11:50 in 2nd
April 21 2013, 05:18PM
Backs with a dirty goal, after rebound from nice Baer pass to rushing Stempy.
Backs is a pretty good player. Nice pass by Sven to Stempers as well
April 21 2013, 05:21PM
And Schanko just scored as well!
5 game point streak for Sven
Gawd I hope Lindholm is a top line centre....
April 21 2013, 05:26PM
Sarichs nose busted up pretty good from the Stoner fight. It was sideways after the fight.
And Schanko just scored as well!
Ya, again...Gawd, SNW need some new ads, same ones every break
Am I the only one thinking that maybe our young players are just good? We are 5-5 in our last 10 with our young line up and I was hoping for a top 3 pick like everyone else and could not believe some of the games we were winning (Ducks, we never beat the duck) But now I am thinking maybe we just are not a bad enough team to pick that high. Thoughts?
Flames just can never do what their fans want
It's a mirage, what a horrible way to end the season unreal. We had an opportunity to add a franchise piece with a top three pick. Now McBackup is a world beater ugh.
April 21 2013, 05:34PM
A bunch of young guys playing for their future careers might just have more drive (which could be infectious) than old guys playing out the string.
I can't watch thus game on tv, any suggestions on internet streaming options? Bear in mind, all have is an iPad.
Use First Row Sports, but I get a lot of pop ups maybe you'll have better luck on your iPad.
............. So I pretty much just tuned in. Wtf? How are the Flames winning with this roster?????????????????????? I have literally never been this confused as a hockey fan. This is just too bizarre. No matter what's going on, the Flames always seem to manage to hurt themselves at the end of the regular season. They either sleepwalk into the playoffs, or they go on an inexplicable winning streak and ruin a much needed draft pick.
Here's hoping for Lindholm, I guess.
On a more positive (less whiney) note, good for Cundari scoring in his first game.

Yeah it is bizarre, they should be getting destroyed night in and night out. The big difference is that these guys have a lot of heart unlike the Oiler kids who were developed in a toxic losing environment and have now accepted losing as a norm. Reinhart, Hanowski, and Cundari all scored in their debuts. They are hungry guys chomping at the bit. Who says we need to be down for seasons on end. 4 years plus who knows how many others out of the playoffs is long enough.

Flames got rid of their loser players. Jokinen (last year), Iginla, and Bouwmeester. While I wish the Flames were getting destroyed by Minnie right now, this team is fun to watch. Speed, creativity.
However, this is the problem, and I predicted it (who couldn't have?). Season ends. Nothing to play for. Now they're "just having fun" and winning games. Flames used to do that in the 90s too, that's why they only ever picked 15-25 for a long time.
Sounds like the moral of the story is why pay lazy entitled vets big $$$ when we can pay less to players who are truly motivated to be hockey players & do what it takes to succeed. Ironic we lose 20mill of franchise players & we are doing as well as if we had a full veteran lineup. Next year could get ugly. Wose top 3 next year?
Why is it so hard being a Flames fan? Constant disappointment
Cundari seems to be a perfectly acceptable player. I would not have called that.
And the Flames score again. Welcome to Calgary, Elias Lindholm.
April 21 2013, 06:27PM
How can the Wild be so useless today? God I hate that team. Don't they need to win this game for the points. I sure won't miss having to watch them as often starting next season.
Minny is not even pushing the play right now. Man they suck.
Damn you Joey MacDonald - I knew we shouldn't have resigned him!
One thing to remember is that the teams who have clinched a playoff berth are far less motivated to player harder. Look at who is struggling now, some of the top teams like Anaheim and Montreal. Teams 7-12 are playing playoff hockey every night while the other guys have become complacent. Before tonight's game, Minny was 3-6-1 in their last 10, now make it 3-7-1 in their last 11.

It's the theme that never gets old! Teenage punks lounging in decrepit buildings wearing cool denim and loose knits, defining a new era while representing the past. This moody editorial from Stockholm Magazine Spring 2011 (which, by the way, digitally features a fresh approach to the standard Flash page-turning standard) was shot by photographer Hasse Nielsen. We love the contour-seam denim dress and funky legwarmers. While the feeling is a bit forced, the theatrics are welcome.

Download a PDF of this fact sheet here
When a couple has trouble having a baby, there's about a 50-50 chance that the man has a problem contributing to the pregnancy. He might:
If you might have a fertility problem, your doctor will want to perform a complete history and physical, as well as several tests to find out what may be causing your infertility.
Semen analysis is probably the first test you will be asked to perform. Semen is the fluid that is released when a man has an orgasm. Semen carries the sperm in fluids that should nourish and protect it. You will typically be asked to provide a semen sample by masturbating into a sterile glass jar. If masturbation is not culturally acceptable, your doctor can provide you with a special condom in which to collect semen during intercourse.
The semen analysis provides a lot of information about the quantity and quality of both semen and the sperm it contains. Some of the things that are measured are:
The analysis can also suggest if you have an infection in your reproductive system.
The semen sample has to be tested within an hour of collection, which usually takes place in the doctor's office. You'll probably need to make two visits to provide samples on two different days more than two weeks apart, because samples from the same man can be different at different times. Collecting two samples makes it easier to tell if something really is wrong. You may be asked not to release sperm (ejaculate) for 2 to 5 days before you provide a sample.
Important chemicals in your body, called hormones, control sperm production. They also affect your interest in sex and your ability to have sex. Too much or too little of these hormones can cause problems with sperm production or trouble having sex. Two important hormones for reproduction are follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone (T). Your doctor may do blood work to check to see if you have the right amount of these hormones. If indicated, your doctor may check other hormone levels, including luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, and prolactin.
If the semen analysis test results aren't normal, you may need to have more tests that can be performed by your doctor or you may be referred to a urologist. These tests will show:
If you've had the tests described above, but your doctor still does not know why you are having problems, additional tests may be necessary. These tests will tell your doctor:
If you produce very few sperm (or if you produce no sperm), your doctor may want to perform a genetic test to see if there is anything abnormal with your genes that makes it impossible for you to produce sperm. These tests can also tell if there is a problem that you could pass on to a child. These tests will tell your doctor:
No semen test can fully predict fertility. Other than a semen analysis, not all tests discussed are appropriate for every couple.

Skip to comments.Off-duty deputy praised for taking down gunman at Mayan 14 theater
Posted on 12/19/2012 1:40:45 PM PST by Phillyred
The Bexar County Sheriffs Office is calling one of their own a hero after deputies say she stopped what could have been a disastrous shooting inside a south-side movie theater lobby.
Jesus Garcia, 19, was at the Santikos Mayan Palace 14 at SW Military and I-35 on Sunday night. According to San Antonio police, he was upset over a recent breakup with his girlfriend.
According to both police and deputies, Garcia called into his girlfriend's work at The China Garden restaurant and said he was going to shoot somebody. The restaurant is located outside the theater.
At 9:30 p.m., Garcia walked in and chased all employees and patrons out of the restaurant before firing at an employee as he or she tried to flee, police said. It was not immediately known if the targeted employee was his girlfriend.
Garcia continued to chase the employee from the restaurant to the parking lot outside the theater, firing his weapon along the way. San Antonio police said Garcia also took aim at an officer who pulled up in a marked cruiser. He missed the officer but shattered the officer's windshield.
The chase went into the lobby of the Mayan 14 Theater, where off-duty Sheriff's Sgt. Lisa Castellano immediately sprang into action.
The 13-year veteran quickly moved all patrons out of the lobby and into a secure location, deputies said. She then chased Garcia into the men's restroom, where she and another off-duty police officer cornered the suspect. Castellano then shot the suspect.
The actions she took prevented a lot more people from getting hurt or even worse, killed. said Deputy Chief Manuel Longoria of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Garcia was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where he underwent surgery on Monday. He was listed in critical condition.
He faces charges of capital murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Investigators said there could be more charges once officers finish looking into all the details of what happened.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
It won't be. It doesn't fit the narrative.
She da woman!
And she's more intelligent, alert, brave and action oriented than the entire dim-bulb-crat crew of clowns in the house and senate.
And she has more cojones than the Dork-in-Chief.
On can only take bets on which way the DORK would have run if confronted with something like this.
Will the county re-imburse her for the cost of the bullet expended?
When will her promotion ceremony take place?
Wanna bet it won't be covered in the MSM?
Another reason we need more "gun control".
The officer should have exhibited better "gun control" via a more accurate aim & killed that evil filthy swine.
I read in another article that the off-duty sheriff's deputies were moonlighting as security guards at the theater. The theater may have very well been a gun free zone, except for the armed security guards, and therefore, this incident is not as supportive of CCW as it first may seem. (I'm guessing the theater is gun free, which is why armed security guards are neededin the first place.)

(I'm guessing the theater is gun free, which is why armed security guards are needed in the first place.)
Regardless it is very supportive of CCW even if it was security. A private citizen trained with a gun could accomplish the same thing.
That's a nice argument for the choir, but the gun-grabbers will use this incident to argue that only trained law enforcment professionals need guns.
"Castellano then shot the suspect."
Wait. Italian cop shoots Hispanic nut? It was racism.
I was in my local mall today with attached theater. After the CO theater shooting they had off duty cops as security. Then no security. Today they has a security guard standing in the lobby. Thankfully he was packing mace to stop any gun wielding madmen form shooting innocent civilians.
Guns save a life every five seconds or so I am told.
He's charged with capital murder? Who was killed?
That, or I read the story too quickly.
>Garcia called into his girlfriend's work at The China Garden restaurant and said he was going to shoot somebody.
Why did someone not have an armed lookout posted for his arrival? Are they all stupid? WTF?
Inexcusable and this is how innocent people get killed.
"Off Duty" therefore a law abiding civilian, trained in the use of firearms and with a CCL stopped a madman from causing any, or anymore, harm.
Hmm, isn't that what we've been saying all along? Someone (hello NRA) should advertise this all over the country.
She was off duty, so she was an armed citizen.
Wasn't he a couple of days early?
Castellano is an Hispanic name.So is Lisa.
My guess-—a fellow Hispanic.
Castellano is an Hispanic name.So is Lisa.
My guess-—a fellow Hispanic.
I didn't get it either. In this incident, no one appeared to be murdered. Perhaps he had a previous murder.
I sent the reporter an email and this is what he responded with:
Where is that not mentioned so we can amend it?
"...take bets on which way the DORK would have run if confronted with something like this."
I bet... down both legs for $100
The "logic" in the statement above boggles the mind if you think about it. This is exactly the insanity we're faced with. Gun free zones require armed guards to keep them gun free.
Please note I am agreeing with your point. It's almost like the old Viet Nam era statement "We had to destroy the village in order to save it".
Of course it's not plastered all over the news, the would-be mass murderer was stopped. That doesn't fit into Commie plans. This story must be buried so no one thinks it's possible for a mass murderer to be stopped.
LOL. I had the same thought.
The Sgt was hailed as a hero. Liberals don't want anyone to be hailed as a hero, or a savior, for that matter, of anyone.
To them only GOVERNMENT saves, only government can be the hero.
All fits in with their theme of no one rising to any level of individual achievement, or accomplishment. We'd rather have mass murder of innocent people before we'd have ANY talk of anyone saving them or preventing unnecessary loss of life.
So freaking tired of it.
crazy bitter clinging lifesaver!
Against the law to brandish
Against the law to fire your weapon in a theater
Against the law to fire your weapon in a public setting
Against the law to attempt to shoot someone when your life isn't in danger
Against the law to kill someone
Against the law to fire at a police officer
Against the law to resist arrest
You know folks, what you could do to fix this, is make more laws.
I'm sure we just haven't made enough laws to stop this.
The right law would have stopped this guy. We just have to find it. /s
Don't laugh. This is the Left's argument. They aren't laughing.
That's foam, not your regular saliva.

ate there several times, service was slow and once my chicken was undercooked. Never go there again.
great food, excellent breakfast, and the baked goods are amazing; i eat here every week and have never had a bad experience, a must try
Eaten here twice. Rundown:
*Nicely rounded beer selection
*Relaxed yet refined atmosphere
*Med-Lg sized portions
*Balanced flavors in all dishes had (fish burrito, salmon salad w/pasta)
*Need to stay open later (suggestion: hire a manager to keep it open later during school to bring in some financial aid :) )
*Deserts, though visually appealing were ho-hum
Ate here once; I got the hummus plate and my friend got the hummus sandwich. Rundown:
*Nice atmosphere
*Smallish portions
*Bruised/not fresh veggies cut up and served
Food here is high quality with great presentation. I have to say that I feel the B Line is a little overpriced for what it is, however. Just bear that in mind if you choose to go here: it is good, but spendy.
The B Line serves a variety of standard cafe fare, sandwiches, soups, and salads, as well as a heartier assortment of entrees, such as Penne alla Vodka and Salmon Salad.
I had the Salmon Salad; the salmon was deliciously marinated and grilled, then laid on a generous bed of mixed greens with various garden salad fixings on the side. You get a choice of dressing, and I chose Soy Ginger. I do wish the greens had been chopped before serving, as there were huge pieces that were awkward. That's my only complaint about the otherwise fine meal.
Someone in our party had a quesedilla, which he claimed was the best he'd ever had.
Everyone in our party was satisfied with the food.
The B Line is housed in a restored building on 4th avenue, which has a rustic kind of ambiance. It's very visually appealing.
The B Line is also usually very populated; would be nice if it stayed opened later. The owner also maintains Time Market at University and 4th ave, which is another Tucson favorite of mine.
Great atmosphere, always fun to sit at the big communal table by the register. Small but always good beer and wine selection. Favorite tonight was the vanilla porter.
The food has always been competently prepared and worth the price; has never really wowed me until tonight's salmon salad. Try the avocado dressing.
Rotating dessert display is the best in town I can say tonight, but I'll give the Cup another chance next week.
Dine in, take out, cater, it is all first class at Feast. The talented, friendly chef aims to please and he doesn't miss. Feast is an adventure if you are only popping in to pick up a picnic carry out, have lunch from the inventive menu, or order a catered party.
I personally didn't care for it, but I admit I have bland tastes compared to most people. My African tuna sandwich (only thing which seemed to allow me to avoid peppers, onions, etc.) had diced crunchy green things in it, possibly bell pepper.
So much for the food, that's subjective. The waiter was irritating. His stock response to everything from taking an order to being asked for the check was "You got it."

A vehicle from Kansas was found Oct. 18 in a ravine at mile post 113 on I-70. The Utah Highway Patrol and the Emery County Sheriff's Office rescue team went to the site to investigate. The vehicle was spotted by a hitchhiker walking along I-70. Trooper Gary Riches said he received the call about the vehicle at 10 a.m. He continued to the site where he discovered the person within the vehicle to be deceased.
An investigation ensued to determine the cause of the crash afterwhich the vehicle was pulled from the ravine by Green River towing.
Trooper Riches gave the license plate number to dispatch and they discovered the man in the vehicle was 54 year old David Welch of Manhatten, Kan. Welch had been missing from Kansas since Sept. 2 at 8:30 p.m.
As Welch traveled along I-70 he apparently fell asleep at the wheel and went off the road. He was approximately 75 feet off the road and down a steep embankment. The vehicle was not visible by passing traffic. A notebook found at the scene by Sgt. Dusty Butler contained information about the crash. Welch was not killed on impact and he had written that he was suffering from a broken leg and hip and couldn't get out of the vehicle. Welch tried flashing his lights on and off at night to try to draw attention to his plight until the battery of the vehicle lost power. The notebook also contained messages to Welch's family members.
In a Twitter message posted over the weekend, Welch's wife, Kelly, said: "Dave was entrapped in the vehicle down the 80 foot ravine, he wrote each of us a love note. He knew he was dying and there was no way out." Kelly Welch also posted messages of thanks to the Kansas community supporting her family.
The Riley County Police Department in Kansas was contacted by the Utah Highway Patrol in reference to a single vehicle fatality accident involving a maroon in color Pontiac Montana van. The fatality accident reportedly occurred on Interstate Highway 70 approximately 47 miles west of Green River, Utah. Utah Highway Patrol was able to positively identify the deceased driver and sole occupant of the Pontiac Montana van as missing Manhattan resident David Welch.
The Riley County Police Department had been conducting an investigation into the missing man's whereabouts since his reported disappearance on Sept. 3. Evidence located at the scene indicates the accident occurred on Sept. 3, but was not discovered due to the vehicle's location being at the bottom of a ravine that could not be seen by highway traffic.
On Oct. 1, regarding the investigation into missing person, David Welch, the Riley County Police Department conducted a search of areas both in and outside of their jurisdiction. Twenty law enforcement personnel, including several members of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks spent Oct. 1 conducting searches of areas that would be accessible to Welch. These searches did not turn up any evidence that would suggest the location of this missing person.
Investigators throughout the investigation did not believe Welch to be the victim of foul play.
On Sept. 2, 2013 at approximately 8:30 p.m., David Welch, 54, of Manhattan, Kansas left his home in a maroon Pontiac Montana van with Kansas license plates without expressing where he was going to friends and family. Riley County Police were contacted and when made aware, checked areas around Manhattan for Welch but were unsuccessful in locating him. At the time of the initial call to police, there was no reason to believe that he was in danger.
On Sept. 3, 2013, we were contacted by Welch's family and informed that he had not returned home. At this time officers confirmed that there was no reason to believe Welch was currently in danger of harm or had known medical issues that may cause him to be in danger. Riley County Police notified law enforcement agencies in areas around the country where it was possible that Welch may have gone. A police information report for missing persons was filed on Sept. 6. Riley County Police briefed the local media of the filing of this report on Sept. 9.

For those of you who can't get enough Justin Bieber, read on for this new interview where he discusses the documentary movie about his life, Never Say Never, which will hit theaters on February 11, 2011. He also talks about his musical influences, his celebrity crush, and what he looks for in a girl.
Q: Describe how you feel about making a documentary of your life, Never Say Never.
Justin: I think it's exciting. Any time you open up your whole life to cameras, it can be a little nerve-wracking, but my team has so much fun and this is such a great story, I'm excited to share it with everyone.
Q: What is the most important thing you reveal in Never Say Never?
Justin: The most important thing I reveal is that I'm a normal kid, living my dream, and I've been extremely fortunate and blessed. I am happy to show other kids that anything is possible and you should really never say "never".
Q: What was the funniest part of making Never Say Never?
Justin: The antics of my road manager, Ryan Good and messing around with my friends for the cameras. You'll see what I mean when you see the movie.
Check out the trailer, PLUS 2 more clips from Never Say Never here and here.
Q: Are you interested in taking time off to do a scripted movie? If so, what kind of movie?
Justin: I'm definitely interested in taking on larger roles as an actor. My main focus is definitely music, and I don't want to take away from that but I'm open to taking on roles that will challenge me as an actor.
Q: Congratulations on the AMAs. You referred to Michael Jackson—how has he influenced your approach, your style, your love of music and the industry?
Justin: I think I, as well as anyone who has ever approached a career in the music industry, have been inspired by Michael Jackson. His style, his work ethic, his talent and his love of music are truly something to be admired, and his success creates a goal for all artists to reach for.
Q: Who else would you consider as a major influence and how?
Justin: Obviously Scooter and Usher, but anyone else? My mom. She got me my first drum kit; she filled our house with music; she's sacrificed everything for me. She plays a major part in my life and my career.
Q: What would fans not know about your relationships with Scooter and Usher?
Justin: The fans probably don't realize just how influential they are in my life and how much pride they take in guiding me into being the best person I can possibly be.
Q: What are the three best highlights from everything that's happened since the debut of your first CD to now?
Justin: In order of how they happened: 1) Singing for the President, 2) Winning the VMA for Best New Artist. 3) Winning 4 AMAs.
Q: What was your most embarrassing moment?
Justin: When I got spaghetti on myself during a date.
Q: Is there any celebrity that you have a crush on?
Justin: Beyonce.
Q: What do you look for in a girl?
Justin: Someone with a good smile and a great sense of humor.
Justin, that describes me perfectly! Friend me!

I know I said I was going to tell y'all about our vacation but I'm still editing the pictures. So, instead you're going to get a new recipe. Maybe you'll find it "pinnable"…who knows?
Last time my friend 'Em' came to visit she cooked this amazing pasta dish and I've been wanting to cook it again ever since.
First you start with these ingredients
- Roma tomatoes (4 to 6), chopped and seeded
- Button mushrooms, chopped
- Red Onion, chopped
- 1 stick butter
- Heavy Cream
- 1 lb. of the pasta of your choice (I used penne)
- Steak Tenderloins or Chicken Breast
Saute 1 small red onion in a little olive oil.
Add the mushrooms to the onions and saute until soft.
My tomatoes were a little wonky, so I used a 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes I had in the pantry. Just drain them really well.
Yes, butter. (Sorry for the blurriness – forgot to take into consideration steam from the cooking. Oops!)
Cook over low heat until thickened. Are you hungry yet? Hang on – we're almost there.
Steaks or chicken, your choice. If you're lucky enough to have your Mawmaw's well-seasoned cast iron skillet make sure you use that. If not, then use whatcha got.
Now your pasta is done so drain it well and then toss with the sauce mixture that's been simmering.
Y'all it's so good. That Man doesn't like pasta, unless it's spaghetti and then he'll only eat that about twice a year so I ate this for dinner and supper three times that week. I was sad when it was gone, too.
Serve it with a nice green salad and some garlic bread. Your family with thank you for it. I promise.
Now, here's my question to you. What if this was a regular occurrence and you could link up one of your recipes to share with everyone? Kind of like a bloggy recipe swap. Would it be something you'll like to do? I'm so eat up with the Pinterest that I was thinking it would be nice to have a bunch of new recipes in one location to pin to my "Must Try Recipe" board. I'm just throwing that out there. Let me know and if y'all are up for it, I'll get the Linky thingy.
Alright y'all – Bon Appetit!

Amazing bootie
"Love this bootie. If I walked in heels every day I would say it's a comfy shoe because of the large heel, because of that it's slightly uncomfortable. But other than that, love the style, height and fit."

Pedro Martin Ureta created a piece of land art so that it could be viewed from an airplane. It turns out that it is visible from space, too.
In the fertile lowland plains of Argentina (the Pampas), a guitar-shaped forest grows amidst the farmland. The project was started in 1979 by Ureta on his farm near the town of Laboulaye, and it has become a wonder for pilots and passengers flying over the region. Together with his children, Ureta created the forest in a tribute to his wife, Graciela, who died during childbirth in 1977. News reports claim that Ureta has never seen his creation from the air, except for photos from friends.
The image above was acquired on November 2, 2007, by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on the Terra satellite. The false-color image was created with red, green, and near-infrared light.
According to news reports, the forest is composed of more than 7,000 cypress and eucalyptus trees. It stretches nearly a kilometer (two-thirds of a mile) across the landscape.

Skip to comments.Exclusive: John McAfee Wanted for Murder (Anti Virus King into Bath Salts)
Posted on 11/12/2012 11:28:28 AM PST by ImJustAnotherOkie
Antivirus pioneer John McAfee is on the run from murder charges, Belize police say. According to Marco Vidal, head of the national police force's Gang Suppression Unit, McAfee is a prime suspect in the murder of American expatriate Gregory Faull, who was gunned down Saturday night at his home in San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye.
Details remain sketchy so far, but residents say that Faull was a well-liked builder who hailed originally from California. The two men had been at odds for some time. Last Wednesday, Faull filed a formal complaint against McAfee with the mayor's office, asserting that McAfee had fired off guns and exhibited "roguish behavior." Their final disagreement apparently involved dogs.
(Excerpt) Read more at gizmodo.com ...
Official police statement:
MURDER On Sunday the 11th November, 2012 at 8:00am acting upon information received, San Pedro Police visited 5 ¾ miles North of San Pedro Town where they saw 52 year old U.S National Mr. GREGORY VIANT FAULL, of the said address, lying face up in a pool of blood with an apparent gunshot wound on the upper rear part of his head apparently dead. Initial investigation revealed that on the said date at 7:20am LUARA TUN, 39years, Belizean Housekeeper of Boca Del Rio Area, San Pedro Town went to the house of Mr. Faull to do her daily chores when she saw him laying inside of the hall motionless, Faull was last seen alive around 10:00pm on 10.11.12 and he lived alone. No signs of forced entry was seen, A (1) laptop computer brand and serial number unknown and (1) I-Phone was discovered missing. The body was found in the hall of the upper flat of the house. A single luger brand 9 mm expended shells was found at the first stairs leading up to the upper flat of the building. The body of Faull was taken to KHMH Morgue where it awaits a Post Mortem Examination. Police have not established a motive so far but are following several leads.
As we reported last week, McAfee has become increasingly estranged from his fellow expatriates in recent years. His behavior has become increasingly erratic, and by his own admission he had begun associating with some of the most notorious gangsters in Belize.
Since our piece ran on last week, several readers have come forward with additional information that sheds light on the change in McAfee's behavior. In July of 2010, shortly before Allison Adonizio pulled the plug on their quorum-sensing project and fled the country, McAfee began posting on a drug-focused Russian message board called Bluelight about his attempts to purify the psychoactive compounds colloquially known as "bath salts."
Writing under the name "stuffmonger," a handle he has used on other online message boards, McAfee posted more than 200 times over the next nine months about his ongoing quest to purify psychoactive drugs from compounds commercially available over the internet. "I'm a huge fan of MDPV," he wrote. "I think it's the finest drug ever conceived, not just for the indescribable hypersexuality, but also for the smooth euphoria and mild comedown."
Elsewhere, he described his pursuit of "super perv powder" and warned about the dangers of handling the freebase version of the drug: "I had visual and auditory hallucinations and the worst paranoia of my life." He recommended that the most effective way to take a dose is via rectal insertion, a procedure known as "plugging," writing: "Measure your dose, apply a small amount of saliva to just the tip of your middle finger, press it against the dose, insert. Doesn't really hurt as much as it sounds. We're in an arena (drugs/libido) that I navigate as well as anyone on the planet here. If you take my advice about this (may sound gross to some of you perhaps), you will be well rewarded."
Just before posting for the last time on April 1, 2011 (a date that for McAfee may well have been freighted with intentional significance), Stuffmonger identified himself as "John" and described his work pursuing quorum-sensing compounds and posted photos of his property in Orange Walk. In signing off, he explained that "the on-line world is more of a distraction than the self induced effects of the many experiments I've done using my own body over the past year or so, and I have work to do."
MDPV, which was recently banned in the US but remains legal in Belize, belongs to a class of drugs called cathinones, a natural source of which is the East African plant khat. Users report that it is a powerfully mind-altering substance. In the comments section to my last Gizmodo piece, reader fiveseven15 writes: "mdpv is serious shit. would explain his paranoia and erraticness. i've been thru that. i played with mdpv for about two weeks, then started seeing shadow people in the corner of my eye, and what amphetamine heads call 'tree-cops'... its essentially really, REALLY f-ed up meth."
On his website, addiction specialist Paul Earley warns about the dangers of MDPV: "Our experience clearly warns of the psychiatric and medical dangers of this drug. We have cared for multiple patients who have abused MDPV; they report intense and unpleasant visual hallucinations after a short binge. The drug feels non-toxic with its first use, but following a moderate binge users suffer mild to moderate paranoia in about 10% of individuals who use higher doses, we have observed a sustained psychotic state with intense anxiety lasting 3 to 7 days."
McAfee's intensive use of psychosis-inducing hallucinogens would go a long way toward explaining his growing estrangement from his friends and from the community around him. If he was producing large quantities of these chemicals, as implied on Bluelight, that would also shed light on his decision to associate with some of Belize's most hardened drug-gang members.
McAfee's purported interest in extracting medicine from jungle plants provided him a wholesome justification for building a well-equipped chemistry lab in a remote corner of Belize. The specific properties of the drugs he was attempting to isolate also fit in well with what those closest to him have reported: that he is an enthusiastic amateur pharmacologist with a longstanding interest in drugs that induce sexual behavior in women. Indeed, former friends of McAfee have said he could be extremely persistent and devious in trying to coerce women who rebuff his advances to have sex with him.
One other aspect of Stuffmonger's postings gibe with McAfee's general MO: his compulsion for making outrageous or simply erroneous assertions, even attached to subjects about which he is being generally sincere. Along with photographs of his lab near Orange Walk, for instance, he posted a picture of a decrepit thatched-roof hut and described it as original home in Belize. He seemed similarly to have embellished his descriptions of his feats of chemical prowess on the Bluelight discussion board, and this ultimately aroused the suspicions of his fellow posters. "Stuffmonger's claims were discredited," a senior moderator later wrote, "and he vanished."
Is he the founder of McAfee Antivirus?
LSD, Rofies, PTP (?) BathSalts, gee whiz whatever happened to good old whiskey and rye?
think we found our new CIA director.
McAfee: "Hey guys, what do you think I should do with these bath salts?"
And with their answer, history was made.
It just goes to show you can take the kid out the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the ...
What?! Born in England, raised in suburban, small town Virginia, had nice jobs at NASA and what not before hitting it big?
Never mind.
Kind of like how McAfee tries to coerce people into buying their anti-virus software.
Them good old boys drank it all
the day the music died.
Wonder what Peter Norton's doing these days?
A guy truly dedicated to finding cures for viruses -- from computers to pharmacology.
McAfee has an ultra-lite airpark in Rodeo, New Mexico that I visited. Also from what I understand a home in the area.
Didn't know that. I guess khat is troublesome in itself but highly refined or synthetic higher-potency versions always seem to be especially bad news.
Somebody (not me!) pull the plug on this guy!
Obama will find him.
The divine Obama knows all.
Here's a CNET forum article from earlier this year. Someone claiming to be John McAfee pops in toward the end to try to declare that he's innocent and that he's being harrassed by the cops in Belize. Then there's the matter of his 17-year-old girlfriend . . .
Saw a cnbc story about him on how he lost most of his millions when Lehman went under and the real estate market collapsed.
Interesting. Learned several things on this thread. SUSE had changed to ext3/4 by the time I got involved so no experience with the Reiser FS.
indescribable hypersexuality He recommended that the most effective way to take a dose is via rectal insertion, a procedure known as "plugging,"
Guess it's just the intractble Puritan i me but, I'd say the guy is one VERY sick puppy.
LOL; great series, back in the day.
Color me a puritan also.... that is sick.
I think the big takeaway here is to wash your hands before eating.
Dr. Jekyll-paging Dr. Jekyll...
"annoying update now! messages with no way to turn them off except removing the software."
One of the reasons I switched to Norton, a few years ago.
I grew up in Belize, in the town where McAfee has been living...San Pedro is the big tourist Caye.
I sometimes got McAfee Antivirus preinstalled on computers, but couldn't get it off fast enough. I get free use of Symantic Endpoint, the corporate version of Norton, which seems to work much better than Norton.
If they put this jerk away for murder, it sounds as if the world will benefit.
If he's a US citizen and gets back into the US, I'm pretty sure he can't be extradited.
from the CNET forum:
The truth of the matter is at the courthouse. I was formally charged on Monday at approximatey 6:30 P.M. and all charges were dropped before midnight that same day. The press releases are pure posturing because I am suing the government. It's as simple as that.

UPDATE: The local San Pedro Sun has posted a story about the case.
The story corrects the victim's name to Gregory Viant Faull, 52, formerly of Miami, whom it says was apparently killed by a single gunshot to the back of the head Saturday night or Sunday morning. A laptop computer and iPhone were said to be missing from Faull's residence.
McAfee is not named as a suspect, but rather as someone whom police believe "may be able to assist them in their investigation."
The story also says Faull "had a misunderstanding with a neighbor in the area" relating to "armed security intimidating residents along the beach."
McAfee apparently lived close to Faull and was not home when police arrived to question him.
No one ever said that people with so much money also had common sense or good taste.
Do you know why is it called bath salt? Certainly, it is not like bath salts we know like Epsom Salt or is it?
Just read about Reisner on Distro Watchs comments
Killed his Russian wife..wow.
this mpdv would readily explain Joe Biden's symptoms. They don't call him Plugs for nuthin'.
He sounds familiar....to most women.
Thanks for the link Re: Reiser. A fascinating and sad story.
Now that is the take-away from this thread! Still laughing!
...not to mention Mr. Kaspersky.
I Googled that name and nothing weird came up. Just AV info. What did I miss?
Dr. Jeckyl has received some imagined threats and has gone into Hydeing...
Nothing...just another guy who started an anti-virus program.

After eating lunch at Whole Foods, I realized I had forgotten to replenish my stock of dental floss in my car. Salad greens, chicken, etc...If you floss, you get it. There were a few selections available. I chose the "Smart Floss" and I was very pleased. It's thick, yet stretches and really scrubs as you slide the floss between and around the teeth. I didn't get a big cardamom flavor, just a hint of freshness. I wouldn't have even guessed cardamom had it non been on the package. The price was just under $5 including tax, which seemed comparable to the other options at Whole Foods. My teeth so great after I use it. Thanks
"This floss actually makes me like to floss, so I do it more often. It's woven, smooth, and easy to use on teeth that are close together. My husband flosses every day and he loves it too."
