Signac entered eighteen works in the eighth and final Impressionist exhibition in May-June 1886, set alongside works by Pissarro and Seurat. Inspired by new ideas in colour theory, these three artists expressed a new interest in the optical mixing of colour, rather than the mixing of colour on the palette. The critic Félix Fénéon was a principal advocate for the art that ventured beyond Impressionism—an art which came to be known as Neo-Impressionism (he actually coined the term 'néo-impressioniste' in an article published in L'Art moderne de Bruxelles on 19 September 1886).1 In his writings, Fénéon criticised the earlier Impressionist artists because their work 'had an appearance of improvisation; their landscapes were views of nature seen at a glance, as if a shutter had been quickly opened and closed; it was hasty and approximate'.2 It was his view that the Impressionists had 'a propensity for making nature grimace … to prove that the moment was unique and would never be seen again'.3 In comparison, the art of the 'new' Impressionists possessed a 'distance from the accidental and the transitory'.4
From June to September of 1886 Signac lived in the small medieval town of Les Andelys, west of Paris near Giverny, where the Seine flowed through the Normandy countryside to the sea. He delighted in the light, the vibrant colours of the location and its forms—the buildings of the township, the river and its banks, the nearby Château Gaillard and the surrounding farmland. Over the summer months Signac was to paint ten canvases at Les Andelys, using the new method of applying small brushstrokes of unmixed colour. Four of the earliest of these paintings were shown in Paris at the Salon de la Société des Artistes Indépendants in 1887, and Fénéon praised them for their luminosity and their completeness: 'the colours provoke each other to mad chromatic flights—they exult, shout!'5
This painting follows the four works referred to by Fénéon, and combines many of the motifs that Signac found attractive in Les Andelys—the shimmering water reflecting trees on an island, and the dappled hazy summer skies. Signac also featured the red roofs of the riverside houses, the verdant greens of the grassy bank, and the chateau high up in the background, redolent with French history as the castle where Richard the Lionheart once lived. In the mid-ground a tiny figure is seated on a small jetty, and in the foreground is the cropped form of a moored boat. A stillness, a sense of history and timelessness, pervades this composition.

The Te Pohue farm of Federated Farmers' national president is in a climate adaptation case study.
Bruce Wills' farm is part of the Ministry for Primary Industries' study on the impacts of climate change on land-based sectors and adaptation options.
"All farmers know the climate changes, and whether it is man-made, natural or a combination of the two.What really matters is building resilience into our farm businesses," Mr Wills said.
"The climate changes and will continue to change because we live on a dynamic planet. If we had little or no climate change, our environment would be closer to that of Mars.
"What the [Ministry] has produced is thought-provoking because the overriding assumption around climate change has been its negative effects. The climate is in fact neutral; it is what we make of it which counts. If we are in a warming cycle with higher concentrations of CO2 then we can expect increasingly rapid pasture, crop and tree growth boosting productivity. On the downside, there will likely be increased frequencies of drought and floods with pests and disease.
"Ensuring we have the right on-farm infrastructure, systems and personnel to cope with climate variability is vital, especially once you marry what we are doing inside the farm gate with what is happening regionally and nationally.
"It is also vital we maintain stringent biosecurity to defeat pests and exotic diseases before the border," he said.
"With the case study done about our farm, it boils down to the tactical use of plantings to stabilise hillsides, farm dams to store water and stock policies to better cope with the weather volatility.
"Environmental management is vital - it's about being able to farm sustainably and profitably.
"Outside of the report, the control of possums by way of 1080 has been massive to our farm's economic and environmental sustainability. The explosion of bird life and biodiversity I have seen with the demise of possums has been extraordinary.
"The other case studies are there to show farmers by sector and type just what is possible. I think it will engender discussion within the primary communities.
"New Zealand's innovative and progressive farmers are very good at reading environmental signals. Farming will continue to adapt and evolve in response to these changes."

Dean's Intern Constantine Skenderis is a One-Man Production Team
Below is a first person account from Dean's Intern Constantine Skenderis on his internship at USA TODAY.
Being a part of the video team at USA TODAY has been an eye-opening experience to say the least. Besides running the budget for shows, I have been able to experience almost every job position on the video team. Prior to my internship, I understood a cameraman, director, producer, and editor to be different people with separate jobs. However, here at USA TODAY I learned that in order to be successful in the visual storytelling business you must master and be able to carry out all of those jobs yourself.
A typical day starts with receiving several scripts for our USA TODAY shows of the day. After collecting images and creating graphics to be shown on screen, I help organize the set. I wire the hosts with wireless microphones, make sure the script is loaded in the teleprompter; then it's lights, camera, action! I am usually multitasking; helping with the show and editing a separate video package to be posted on the website using footage that was shot elsewhere or video I shot myself.
An added bonus is getting to work with some top of the line equipment. There are multiple XDCAM camcorders along with shelves filled with DSLR cameras and lenses upon lenses. Being able to use such high-quality gear has allowed me to gain a better understanding of the imaging world.
The atmosphere in the wide-open third floor of the Gannett Corp./USA TODAY building is always refreshing. There are no walls, so I get to chat and laugh with my colleagues as we work together on the project at hand. With my own desk, two Mac computers, external hard drives with practically unlimited storage space, and access to top-notch cameras I really feel like a full-time employee.
One of my first projects was going to the Four Seasons Hotel with a reporter to get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of the hotel's breakfast schedule on Inauguration Day. I was on a mission to grab a quick Q&A with a celebrity who were staying there. Luckily, we were able to interview better-living guru, Deepak Chopra outside before he left to watch President Obama give his speech in D.C.
I have had many opportunities to shoot exciting videos. For example, heading to the 9:30 club to film for USA TODAY's "StudioA" show and going to the National Mall to shoot an MOS (man-on-the-street) package for the Oscars. What a crazy day that was, especially having to get back to class on time afterwards!
Having been told multiple times, "I don't know what I'd do without you!" gives me the greatest joy in knowing that my work is so greatly appreciated. I came here to help out and learn what I could. I have certainly already surpassed my goals. I am at a significant point in my life as I define myself as an aspiring producer and working at USA TODAY has given me the boost that I need.

The Emery County Public Lands Council met in their February meeting. Rod Player was welcomed as the newest member of the council. Bruce Wilson will remain as chairman for 2012 and Gary Petty is the vice-chairman. The board approved the guidelines in the bylaws which state the council should have no more than 11 members and no less than seven. The board currently has 11 members.
The first agency report dealt with sage grouse. David Waller is a wildlife biologist for the Bureau of Land Management and has worked with sage grouse in Montana. He passed out maps which showed the areas where sage grouse are found. Right now the BLM is operating under an interim plan which outlines procedures for maintaining healthy habitat for sage grouse. This interim plan will be in effect until the final plan comes out in 2014.
Waller said there is cooperation between the BLM, Division of Wildlife Resources and the forest service. They work with the DWR when projects are being considered and implemented.
"In Emery County there is only a very small area where sage grouse are found. One on the West Tavaputs and two areas on the forest. Sage grouse have a muscular gizzard, so their diet consists of only soft foods. They eat insects and sage brush leaves. Sage grouse live longer than most grouse with a life span of eight years. In Emery County there is only a miniscule amount of BLM land that has sage grouse. We work with the forest service in the working group."
Some of the lands council members attended the sage grouse open houses held recently around the region. Petty said they couldn't ananswer any of their questions at these meetings. He attended the Richfield meeting. He is most concerned about whether there are any plans to introduce sage grouse in new areas. If sage grouse are planted in areas, that could close out grazing in those areas for four-six years.
Waller said yes, that would be a real concern, but there are no plans at the current time to introduce sage grouse anywhere, but to maintain the sage grouse already in the area.
Sherrel Ward, council member asked what we should be doing at this time in regards to sage grouse. Waller said now is the time to comment about the sage grouse and what your concerns are. The BLM needs to hear from all stakeholders.
Another issue with sage grouse is they don't do well when they are raised in hatcheries.
Val Payne, public lands consultant, said it is important to express comments now. The ultimate goal is the keep the sage grouse from being listed on the endangered species list. Grazers need to weigh in. Predator control needs to be addressed concerning those animals that feed on the grouse. Those involved in mineral development need to speak up because preserving sage grouse breeding areas can sometimes interfere with oil and gas exploration and drilling.
Payne said there needs to be emphasis placed on the good work and habitat projects Utah has been involved with for several years in maintaining existing sage grouse leks as well as encouraging new leks to form. The nation as a whole has not been as active as Utah in preserving these areas.
Waller said he has done a lot of work in Carbon County on sage grouse habitat projects.
Pam Juliano the representative from Rep. Jim Matheson's office said the open houses left a lot of unanswered questions. She said the sage grouse working groups have been very helpful and give out informative information on what's being done to preserve sage grouse as well as future projects. She encouraged everyone to comment and get involved in the process.
Waller said the Interim Management document is on the national website for the BLM. Comments submitted here go to Reno, Nev. where they are consolidated. The sage grouse working groups provide information to the Utah State University and they in turn provide information to the state of Utah. Waller said this is especially important because different areas of the state have different concerns. One area has a problem with cheat grass and in other areas the main concerns are oil and gas developments in habitat areas.
Payne pointed out the working groups have no authority, they are just information gathering groups to give feedback to those in authority positions.
The map prepared by Waller showed population locations for the sage grouse with information from the Division of Wildlife Resources.
Payne said one problem that is occurring is the information on the sage grouse isn't up to date, so projects that are trying to go forward are being told they have to wait until data is complete. One of these projects is the Sigurd to Red Butte transmission line. The same thing with the Alton coal mine expansion. Permits are not being issued and projects are not going forward due to incomplete information on the sage grouse.
Waller said yes, this can happen and projects would just have to wait but he hopes the agencies can work together to keep projects moving along before the final document comes out in 2014.
Guy Webster, lands committee member said he sees the whole thing as an effort to close things down in the name of the sage grouse. Any maps made should go off the latest data.
Waller said the information he used to create his map came from DWR sources. When he overlays the data on his map it includes sage grouse breeding areas on all lands including BLM, forest service, state lands and private. The information doesn't stop at ownership/stewardship boundaries.
The BLM announced the comment period for Greater Sage-Grouse Scoping has been extended. The BLM and the U.S. Forest Service are seeking public comment on issues that should be addressed in Environmental Impact Statements and Supplemental Environmental Impact Statements that will evaluate and provide greater sage-grouse conservation measures in land use plans in 10 Western states. To address requests for additional time to provide comment, the two agencies have extended the public scoping period an additional 45 days and will continue to accept scoping comments through March 23.
Comments may be submitted to the BLM by any of the following methods: Eastern Region web site:http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/sagegrouse/eastern, email: email@example.com fax: 307-775-6042 mail: Eastern Region Project Manager, BLM Wyoming State Office, 5353 Yellowstone, Cheyenne, WY 82009, Western Region web site: http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/sagegrouse/western, email: firstname.lastname@example.com fax: 775-861-6747, mail: Western Region Project Manager, BLM Nevada State Office, 1340 Financial Blvd., Reno, NV 89502.

Chamber Music Series | Vinaccesi Ensemble
This event is expired.
Vinaccesi Ensemble
In the Chamber Music Series at the Legion of Honor, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco present free concerts in collaboration with the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music (SFFCM). Now in its fourth season, this popular series is held one Sunday each month from January to June. Concerts are from noon to 2:00 p.m. in the Rodin Gallery (Gallery 10) and are free of charge after museum admission. The performing ensembles are either affiliates of SFFCM or recipients of grants from the Musical Grant Program, and together they represent the tremendous diversity of musical talent here in the Bay Area.
January, February, and March concerts feature music composed during the reign of Louis XIV, in conjunction with the special exhibition Royal Treasures from the Louvre: Louis XIV to Marie-Antoinette at the Legion of Honor through March 17, 2013. Performers have been asked to create programming that is inspired by the exhibition, thus bringing together the visual and performing arts in a public setting to stimulate the imagination and enhance the experience of visitors at the museum.
March 17
The Vinaccesi Ensemble focuses on music of the Baroque era for solo voice (or voices) and continuo, especially (but not exclusively) that of the Italy and the Veneto, and of course of Italian composer Benedetto Vinaccesi (1666–1719), for whom the ensemble is named. Nanette McGuinness, soprano; Kindra Scharich, mezzo-soprano; Jonathan Smucker, tenor; Kirk Eichelberger, bass; Hallie Pridham, Viola da Gamba and Baroque cello; Susie Fong, harpsichord.
Upcoming dates for the Chamber Music Series in 2013 are April 21, May 1, and June 16.
Ensembles presented in previous seasons include: Hausmann Quartet, Duo Revirado, Classical Revolution, Bridge Chamber Virtuosi, Del Sol String Quartet , and Les Grâces, all in 2010; New Esterházy Quartet, Musical Arts Quintet, Revolution Quartet, the Rhythm Sisters, Voices of Music, San Francisco Guitar Quarte, and sfSound in 2011; and Eos Ensemble, Ariel Ensemble, Vocallective, Revolution Quartet, Musical Arts Quintet, Assisi Quartet, Gold Coast Chamber Players, and Left Coast Ensemble in 2012.
Ticket Information
Free after general museum admission. The concerts are presented in an informal setting. Audiences can stand or sit, come and go as they please, and enjoy all or part of the performance before moving on to visit the museum galleries.

How would the Hebrew, 'elohi (aleph, segol, lamed, holem, he, hiriq-yod) be transliterated in Koine Greek?
Can a smooth breathing with an omicron be followed with an omicron with a rough breathing to represent the Hebrew he? Would the two omicrons be elided?
I am asking about the translliteration in Mark 15,eloi. Does it somehow contain the Hebrew letter he.?
An example of such a transliteration would be great.
Thanks for the help?

Economic Analysis of Punitive Damages: Theory, Empirics, and Doctrine
Catherine M. Sharkey
New York University School of Law
December 15, 2011
RESEARCH HANDBOOK ON THE ECONOMICS OF TORTS, Jennifer Arlen, ed., Edward Elgar, Forthcoming
NYU Law and Economics Research Paper No. 12-02
This chapter — to be included in Research Handbook on the Economics of Torts (Arlen ed., Kluwer, forthcoming 2012) — assesses economic rationales for punitive damages in light of contemporary empirics and doctrine. The primary economic rationale for supra-compensatory damages is optimal deterrence (or loss internalization): when compensatory damages alone will not induce an actor to take cost-justified safety precautions, then supra-compensatory damages are necessary to force the actor to internalize the full scope of the harms caused by his actions. Alternative economic rationales — disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and enforcement of property rights — have been proposed to align the theory with the historical and conventional focus of punitive damages on intentionally wrongful behavior.
Notwithstanding its academic prominence, the economic deterrence rationale has not dominated doctrine. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has all but rejected economic deterrence, by instead placing increasing emphasis on a competing retributive punishment rationale. But, since punitive damages lie squarely within the purview of state law, state legislatures and courts possess a degree of freedom to articulate state-based goals of punitive damages — such as economic deterrence — even in the face of heavy-handed federal constitutional review imposed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Don't underestimate the power of a widely used index. That, at any rate, is one of the arguments being marshaled for BlackRock's (BLK) iShares unit after a Vanguard Group index shakeup that's expected to drive the low-cost asset manager's expenses even lower.
The short version: Many institutional investors are too wedded to MSCI Inc. (MSCI) indexes to shift to Vanguard for just a few basis points. They value iShares products for reasons besides cost. One of the reasons: iShares funds use the benchmarks around which their models are built.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analysts Robert Lee and Alison Heffernan voice a version of this idea in an Oct. 7 note. "To some extent Vanguard's decision to jettison MSCI indices can work to BLK's advantage, at least over the intermediate term," they write.
"[I]t means certain Vanguard ETFs and Index products will be less directly comparable to certain BLK products and there are some investors, mainly institutional investors, who own specific index and ETF products in order to get exposure to a specific index and the characteristics of that index," the analysts continue. "For some of these investors moving to a different index, even if it has a somewhat lower fee structure, might not be an option."
Another interesting point: The analysts' prediction for BlackRock's fee-cut impact includes a metric they're calling the "assumed new fee" for several major BlackRock funds where investors expect reductions.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM), one of the products to get the spotlight for fee competition and indexing, is due for a cut to 0.30%, from 0.67%, by KBW's reckoning.
The prediction calls for the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund's (EFA) expense ratio to fall to 0.25%, from 0.34%, and for the cost of the iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Fund (DVY) to be halved, to 0.20%.

President Bush is incredibly photogenic. When I think of the hundreds of photos I've seen of him, rarely have any been unflattering. On the other hand, I consider about one in a hundred of myself to be decent.
Hey Bill & Hill! Do you want red pepper on your $hit pie?

The pic isn't that bad, just obviously caught off guard. It's funny looking.

Comments: These are fantastic shoes for some people. They are horrible for me. I'll echo the fact that the laces hurt the heck out of my left foot right where the tongue stops. My other issue with these shoes is that there is a seam on the inside very close to the ball of my foot. The seam has a zigzag thread pattern that is covered with a thin piece of white fabric. I got a blood blister from this the second time running. The shoes just don't work for me.
From: Matt, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA
Comments: I had been running in Nimbus for the past 5 years, from versions 10-13. The Nimbus 13 plus Superfeet inserts was a great combination for me, considering that I had neuroma surgery 2 years ago. When I got the 14's, I immediately noticed they seemed too big, though I ordered the same size as always, 9.5. So, I called RW, they told me the shoes run big, and I bought a pair of size 9. OF course, too small. I just returned both pairs, and am now looking for a pair of Brooks.
From: Dan, Atlanta
Comments: I have been a distance runner since college in the 70s and I really locked in on the Asics Nimbus line for comfort and stability about seven years ago. I am currently 55 years old, 6ft. 3in. and weigh 185 lbs. I have always gotten 500 – 600 miles or more out of every pair… however the 14s are the first to disappoint me. After only about 130 miles I noticed some wear on the heel and at the ball of my foot. Never saw any wear on previous models until after 500 miles. Paid no attention because they are "Nimbus". At 150 miles, came in lame in the middle on one of my 5 mile runs. I have just returned from the doctor due to having pain in my right foot so bad, I am having trouble walking. Achilles Tendonitis is the doctors diagnosis, from running on too hard of a surface. Asics blew it with this shoe... I just pray they correct their mistake on the 15s… If you are running in these be careful.
From: Curtis Robinson
Comments: My recent experience with Asics has not been good. The GT 2000 series gave me horrible blisters, the Gel 3000 was like having bricks strapped to my feet. The Gel Kayano 18 did not provide me any stability. My feet tend to over pronate and I normally wear stability shoes, so I was a little worried about running in a cushioned trainer. The Asics web site said the Nimbus could be worn by runners with moderate overpronation. I liked the looks of the shoe and Running Warehouse had them on sale, so I took a gamble. The Gamble paid off. I love these shoes. They are extremely comfortable and fit perfectly. My job requires being on my feet all day. They are just so soft and well cushioned, I just might have to get a pair of these for work. As far as running goes, it was no surprise that the Nimbus 14 has great cushioning, but they also have good support and stability. Even with my over pronation, I can wear this shoe comfortably for my long runs. They are much more stable than my Kayano 18s. They probably do not have enough support for a heavy or severe over pronator, I would think most runners could run comfortably in this shoe. They are a little too soft for fast running or racing. They are perfect for long training runs on the roads. I love the style of this shoe too. They remind me of some of the old Tiger designs of years gone by.
From: Bob, New Jersey
Comments: I'm glad you guys noticed. My 14s are nowhere as cushy as my 13s. The thirteens seriously feel like pillows in comparison. Either there's some hidden science by the asics engineers to help my feet, or they're cost cutting.....hmmmm!
From: Nic, Australia
Comments: Hate the Nimbus 14. Loved the 11 and 12 version. My feet and knees hurt running on the 14. I'm exchanging them.
From: Vinnie, Anville, PA, USA
Comments: I've liked running in the Nimbus line for several years now. I do not like the 14s as much as the 13s. They have a stiffer ride and the upper is not as comfortable especially at the bottom of the tongue area. I've just about gone through my first pair of 14s (put on approx. 250 miles to this point) and will not be buying another pair. In contrast I went through at least 6 pairs of the 13s in which I even bought several pairs when they were being discontinued. I will wait for the 15s in April. I've tried other similar shoes, but have come always come back to the Nimbus.
From: Howard, Cincinnati, OH, USA
Comments: Just completed my first week running on the new Nimbus 14's after 3500 miles running on New Balance shoes. 3 runs up to 6 miles were very comfortable with no foot pain afterward. First long run of 12 miles left my feet feeling like hamburger. No internal pain (which is good) but the fleshy sole of my foot was pretty tender. No blisters, but a 20 miler would have been rough. Might be the socks I wore or maybe the insert in the shoe is rougher than the New Balance - not sure. I'll give my feet a month or so to toughen up but I would have been in big trouble if I had bought these just before a marathon.
From: Dave, South Wales, NY, USA
Comments: Have only been able to put 400 mi on my optic yellow 14's in the past six months. Mainly trails, some pavement to get to the trails. Have another pair of these in the closet ready to run over rocks and roots. Nimbus 12's were OK, 13,s clunky, with the 14's I just go. Oh and by the way who needs socks with these? not me.
From: Wally, Reno, NV, USA
Comments: I'm 65, have been running for 40 years, mostly in Asics. I put in about 20 miles/week. An upgrade is not always for the better. I really liked the Nimbus 13, but the 14 is not nearly as good. Each time I run, I think I'm wearing wooden shoes. I keep hearing the "clop, clop, clop" as the shoe hits the pavement. Plus I don't think the cushioning is nearly as good. I do like the color scheme of the Limited Edition though.
From: Jerry, Col. Grove, OH, USA
Comments: Massively disappointed in the 14s. I am having the same issues discussed by previous posters: lumpy cushioning (from the insert), laces digging into the top of my foot due to less cushioning in the tongue, blisters on right instep from cramped toe box. For me, the arch support doesn't seem cushioned at all, unforgivingly pounding my left foot like the sole of the shoe wants to burst through the top of my foot. I am taking them back to my local running shop and exchanging them for something else. Loved the 13s, can't stand, or run in, the 14s.
From: Josh, Chicago, IL, USA
Comments: I am 57 and weigh 200 lbs., having dropped 50 lbs. since April 2012 thru running and watching what I eat. I started in a pair of Asics Cumulus, and upgraded to the optic yellow Nimbus 14's in August. Those were even better than the Cumulus, and after 500 miles forced myself to purchase another. I didn't see the Optic Yellow's, but instead the standard blue/grey/black Nimbus 14's. What happened? These feel harder, stiffer, lumpy, and overall not like the same shoe! Is that even possible? I even went into the running specialty store (not where I bought any of the previous shoes). To make a long story short, I am considering buying 2 pair of Nimbus 13's on a serious sale, as they feel greater than any of the previous shoes worn. But I'm bummed about the 2nd Nimbus 14's not being the same as the first. Has anyone had this experience? Am I making a mistake grabbing this older model that predates my start as a runner?
From: Phil, Lake Forest, IL
Comments: I've only done a few short runs in these but so far I am somewhat disappointed. The main problem is the shoes stiffness. I weigh 275 lbs and my feet get sore trying to flex these shoes as I run. I've also had a hard time locking my heel into these shoes. Other than that, it is a high quality shoe. Hoping they become more flexible with time.
From: Todd, San Antonio, TX, USA
Comments: First, yes I am a lady, but I have huge tranny feet so I prefer men's shoes. I am new to the Nimbus series, and the 14 is the first one I've tried. I've been a distance runner for quite some time, and I am currently training for my first full marathon... but I know little to nothing about the technical specifics of shoes like the other reviewers have mentioned. However, I can tell you that if this shoe were a person, I would try to marry it. I am a severe underpronator, and about 5-7 lbs heavier than I'd like to be... this shoe has been amazing. And it LASTS. Getting ready to buy my second pair in 6 months, but only because I like to rotate, and my other pair has been through hundreds (maybe thousands) of miles.
From: Candice, Washington, DC
Comments: Has anyone noticed any difference in the ride between the LE's and the other Nimbus 14's?
I was running in a pair of the optic yellow 14's and the started up with a pair of the LE's and
noticed a huge change. Felt like I was running on a shoe with a much harder outsole...it even
sounded harder. Comments?
From: Mark, Warrenton, Virginia, USA
Comments: Good shoe, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. Stiffer and not as well cushioned as previous models. Asymmetrical lacing system was a cool feature that seemed to create better pressure than standard laces - after all your foot is not a symmetrical cylinder. Foot bed shape is not as pronounced as older models - it's flatter and more "common". Mostly horrendeous color schemes (again). Ironically the only good looking color is the optic yellow- but you WILL get attention with these whether you like it or not! Geez, the whole industry has got to stop letting 13 year old gamers pick the color pallette. Vomit green with purple and weirdo blue looks great! Does anybody on the design team try on the shoes and look in the mirror?
From: Slipstream Runner, Elmhurst, IL, USA
Comments: Just got home with my new pair of Nimbus 14. I did not even try them on at the store. Just grabbed my size box, paid and walked out. That is how much I have loved and trusted the name Nimbus. I started running long distance 3 yrs ago at age 40(6 ft tall, 200lbs). I trained and ran my first marathon in the Nimbus 11. Easily moved into the Nimbus 12. The Nimbus 11 and Nimbus 12 almost seemed identical to me. I completely loved these shoes for my neutral run and very high arch. I missed out on the Nimbus 13, as I had bought 2 pair of Nimbus 12. So, the Nimbus 14 now. I am not happy with the change of the asymmetrical lacing system. That was a great fit for the foot. Why would they remove that? The problem I see now, just by putting the Nimbus 14 on, is that the lower profile upper does not cover my foot as much as the Nimbus 11 or 12. I mean the space across the laces is very wide. It almost looks like I would need a WIDE version of the shoe just to fit correctly. Not sure if I want to run in them or go find some Nimbus 12 still available online somewhere!
From: Chris, Lake Charles, LA, USA
Comments: Awesome. Been wearing the Nimbus since I started running about 6 years ago and thought this was the best Nimbus, comfort and performance wise, since the Nimbus 9's which are still my favorite running shoe of all time. I love that Asics went back to the normal laces/lace pattern. They feel closer to the ground like the 9's and a lot more responsive than the 13's.
From: Dave, Cincinnati, OH, USA
Comments: left shoe, 2nd eyelet from the top of the tongue bites down on my foot (ouch!). Great cushioning, but the toe box even when wearing 4E feels like my left foot is crushed. I wore Nimbus 13s and had zero problems. The weight difference between the 13 and 14 models and lower profile is not that noticeable.
From: Bob, Germantown, MD, USA.
Comments: These shoes are great at absorbing shock, but do not fit well compared to the previous Asics Nimbus 11, 12, 13 models. This one pinched the top of my fit where my joint is in the most peculiar way. I tried 9.5 and size 10, but each had their problems.
From: 200 lbs runner, Northern, VA
Comments: Bryan's review (below) is exactly right. Basically an excellent shoe, but the insufficient padding on the tongue does cause the laces to hurt the top of my foot. It's beyond me why Asics would sabotage one of their franchise shoes like that. But you're better off with the nimbus 13, which does not have that flaw.
From: Uli, Elmhurst, IL, USA
Comments: Very cushy ride. The shoe overall is wider than the previous version and that's a positive change for me anyway. Unfortunately there's one fatal flaw to this shoe. The padding of the tongue abruptly stops at the second row of eyelets which causes the laces, which are on the short side, and top eyelets to really cinch down on the top of your foot. It's very uncomfortable and I feel it at every toe off.
From: Bryan, Irvine, CA, USA
Comments: A wider more roomy toe box and a more stable heel. Cushion is good but more protective than mushy. The one piece tongue/vamp is an improvement.
From: Ken, Bellingham, WA, USA

Fire type
What chakra type are you?
How rude a shock would it be to Uryuu and Ryuken if Juha Bach was a Shinigami originally or even Yamamoto Genrussai's Son (hence he could not kill him 1000yrs ago).
The Proud Quincies would have a Coronary Malfunction to find that their powers were nothing but a specific offshoot from a special Shinigami. LOL
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
...wait a minute, Katagiri collapsed and went into a few month coma after loosing her power, right ? Didn't a similar thing happen to Ichigo after using FGT ? Could it be that Urahara exactly knew how it would go, thanks to his previous experience with Katagiri (it seems that Ryuken would be ready to ask for help even from an Ex-Shinigami if that were to save his lover) ?
Nah, but really, no, Kubo hasn't abandoned Fullbring powers (why that assumption anyway ?). First of, he send Chad to HM and we know that last time it was very fruitful for his powers (more than the time skip), so quite soon we will likely see a new form, power up, or even a completed Fullbring from him.
Not to mention that there are Fullbringers training with Ganju and it does seem that Kubo will bring out as many alive characters of his series as possible, since it is the final arc... I think, even if it will take at least 3-5 years to complete :p.
I forgot to mention that the most likely "everyone" that came to Urahara's hidden HM camp, are Vizards, at least those that remained on earth up to now.
It's possible that Bach mentioned Uryu, because only in Uryu he doesn't have even a clue at what could be blocking his powers (this probably means that Uryu's Quincy Power Manifestation look different than Bach, since they were able to oppose Bach ?), while if he tried it on Kurosaki and his sisters and it didn't work, he might have possibly concluded that it was thanks to their Shinigami power. Or that simply he didn't use it on them, since Ichigo is a rare, valuable breed, while not on his sisters because perhaps they have none (?).
Well, we probably won't see Yuzu in battle, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone had approached Karin and offered her power, kukukuku.
Zero, I somehow doubt that the Quinces are Bach's DNA descendants. There could be other ways to give humans powers without cross fertilization.
I also suppose that Bach may at one time been a Shinigami substitute. What we do know is that 1000 yrs ago Bach showed up, did some things that SS didn't want, and bach was sealed. It is unlikely Bach was a Normal Human. It's possible that he was a Spirit Being all along, or A dead Person who had high Spiritual powers who somehow learnt forbidden techniques, or a human who got the powers of a Shinigami.
About fullbring, we haven't seen even a Hint of fullbring powers since Ichigo got his Shinigami power back. That is odd to me. Ichigo could have tried at least, to bend the Soul of the Cage the Quincies put him in. As it stands for now, The Fullbring power seems to be limited for Ichigo's use while he'd in his human form.
On an aside, Are you saying that a Male Shinigami and a Female Shinigami cannot produce baby Shinigamis?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Well, this might be a bit tricky from Kubo you know, because Ishin said (he likely knows that from Masaki, Ryuken, Urahara) that Yhwach's blood flows in every and all Quincy:
This might mean that every Quincy is his descendant, or that simply his blood flows in them, since it actually seemed that Uryu was drinking his blood, in order to awaken his power. So basically it's possible that his blood contains power that is later passed through blood relations naturally.Spoiler!
Bach is the Origin of the Quincy:
but he is never called one, in similar fashion as SK is not called a Shinigami.
As I mentioned before, according to what Ishin said, Bach chose those that he deemed impure and sucked their powers:
from his manner of speech and what he said to Uryu, it seems that even pure Quincy would loose their powers if he wanted to suck them dry, that's why Uryu is so special, or so it seems. Anyway, if what Bach said is the truth, then that means that he chose not to suck Ichigo and his sisters, as well as Souken and Ryuken and left them be.
Let's not forget that Quincy were only one (and likely the biggest) of the Magic Hunter Clans. So by sharing his own blood with them, he might have made them join the Quincy Clan with additional boost in power thanks to it. Thus a Pure Quincy would be then one that was born from parents that both had in them Bach's blood that gained it directly from him or from their own Quincy parents, preserving the Emperor's blood in them, without it being diluted or polluted.
Oh right, I forgot to answer things about a Fullbring :p.
Ichigo's Fullbring powers constantly work as a stat booster, it rises his natural speed and power, from what Ginjou said (probably not much anyway ).
No, Ichigo couldn't have bended that cage, because that's not how Fullbring works. The Cage was made from Reishi and Reyroku of Opie's. It had no soul in there, because it was made from soul power itself. Fullbring can alter the Soul in things, but not the Soul Power itself, neither can it alter Spirit Particles.
Currently there are technically two categories of power:
- from within: Shinigami, Hollow, Arrancer, Vizard, other likely (like Dog clan),
- from outside: Quincy, Fullbringers, Magic Hunters (probably ).
Technically, Fullbringers are a bit of the mix of both. They draw out the Soul in items and then add their own power to it, making it bend, alter. If one is truly bonded with an item, there is a certain resonance that truly showcase their capabilities. They are limited in what they can do.
Quincy themselves are far superior, they decompose whole Souls into Spirit Particles and from them can create whatever they want.

Urahara was able to send Humans to SS without their bodies being left behind or rather, the bodies are converted to Reishi. The reverse must also be true. That is how Chad, Inoue and Uryuu returned to Earth.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Speaking about the gate, that's how Fullbringers went to SS, from what I can tell, or at least their tools and clothes went through that. After all, all their gear and clothes went with them and that normally doesn't happen.
I wouldn't be surprised if that gate merely strips the normal particles of them, leaving only souls and spirit particles of items, clothes and humans and reequip them back when they get back through the same gate. It sounds more realistic, because the way that Urahara described it, it sounds too easy and too convenient, not to mention that the dead could return to life like nothing happened, if that was indeed how it worked.

What A+ pop singer has moved on to her next female conquest, a technically married, foreign born supermodel?
Swift and Miranda.ReplyCancel
There were just pics of RiRi with Lima.ReplyCancel
Susan Boyle for the singer….ReplyCancel
Enty, FUCK those stupid fucking videos that keep popping up in the upper right hand corner!! I have to keep muting my computer every fucking time I look at this site now. SHIT but that's annoying.
And no, no one watches them, so they are wasting their money.ReplyCancel
@figgy, every time that video opens, site gets credit. Doesn't matter if you watch it, they get credit. Autoplay ads are among the best payouts because they force the user to watch them. Even the Sham-Wow guy would shake his head in disgust.ReplyCancel
A. Lima claimed to be a virgin bride. She probably asked more experienced friends what to look for in a man. Her NBA husband could best be described as a big stiff.ReplyCancel
Rihana and Adriana Lima seem the most likely answer. They are seen together and Adriana seems to be wilding out since her separation. That is a super hot duo. Here is hoping for some "leaked" pics :). Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss are old news at this point so I don't think it's them.ReplyCancel
No, Seven, the Sham-Wow guy's head is shaking from withdrawals.ReplyCancel

Well I be damned.

yup, CDAN is the reason my computer is always muted.ReplyCancel
Wasn't there pictures of Rihanna & Adriana hanging out together just a couple of days ago? Rihanna has sex with anything that has a pulse, so they're probably doing it, but really this sounds like another manufactured blind dreamed up from recent celeb photos. As usual, based more on an obvious guess than any real knowledge.ReplyCancel
But Eminem gets shared custody on his birthday still right? ?ReplyCancel
Nope nope. She hooked up with Jeter Lenny kravitz and many others before the whole Virgin Bride shit. She was dating a prince at the time and was trying to whitewash her Victoria's Secrets from his family and all of a sudden she's A Virgin! !! It's just that none of her former lovers were cad enough to rat her out. VIRGIN BRIDE my ass.ReplyCancel
@sugarbread: lol on the sharing with Eminem. It's been said that Em was a three way partner with Ri, or at the very least, there was a blind that he only watches…
So she found them both a present for their bday. Case closed.
Definitely RihannaReplyCancel
I would love it if this were Taylor Swift and Miranda Kerr! But Taylor seems to be very happy with Karlie Kloss (who is not foreign born, BTW), and it was just reported that Taylor and Karlie are going to start living together. So I don't think this one is about Taylor.ReplyCancel

A rise in a key manufacturing gauge to the highest since 2011 does nothing to stanch speculation of a stingier Federal Reserve, which in turn is weighing on the price of gold.
The data, not to mention another sharp rise in the dollar and reports of slower Indian gold buying around the Diwali festival, has gold futures losing 1.1% to $1,310 Friday morning, and heading for the fourth loss in five sessions. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is off 1.1% to $126.38 Friday.
The glumness shows up in the futures and options markets, too, where activity has been muted. If hedge funds, aggressive traders and institutional investors are speculating less or just sitting on their hedges, you can guess they're not getting too excited.
It all suggests a buying opportunity, argues RBC Capital Markets precious metals strategist George Gero in a morning email: "All this could point to a market already having priced in the negatives and an upside surprise by bargain buyers caused by Middle East problems, more stimulus in Europe and [the] Far [E]ast as well as bargain hunting near [the] 1300 area," he writes.
Certainly among those three worry factors, headlines from Europe are picking up. The euro fell versus the dollar for a fifth straight day amid speculation the European Central Bank will be forced to cut interest rates as soon as next week due to the region's economic weakness.

Great shoe!
"I decided to try out the craze for barefoot walking after I broke my leg. I totally love these shoes. Not only are they cute and attractive, I can withstand longer distances in these shoes. I go to Disneyland a lot and I can walk around in these shoes no problem all day. Normally I wear an 8, but in these shoes I had to get an 8.5."

Favorite Shoe
"I am a runner, and while I don't use these for running, I have worn numerous brands and types of running shoes over the years. I think it's safe to say that these are easily my most FAVORITE causal "sporty" shoe I have ever worn! I wear them ALL the time. I typically wear a 8.5-9, but was able to wear an 8 in this, just fine...then again, I don't wear socks with these. It has a Vibram brand sole, and the entire shoe fabric is light, so feet receive great circulation. They are also PERFECT for travel, as they are light and easy to pack. Nothing bad to say about this at all! I will definitely be purchasing this shoe again."

Surprisingly Comfortable
"I was reluctant to buy these shoes because of the lightweight design, but I became surprisingly convinced after trying them on. They are very comfortable and perfect for walking or light sprinting. I'm glad I made the purchase."

Designing a collection with flawless retro edge wasn't enough for Current/Elliott. To feed our nostalgic cravings for all things vintage, they put together a spring lookbook that wraps up the aura of '50s pin-up charm deliciously. We are absolutely crazy about the hot red skinny jeans. And the high waisted, frayed denim shorts. We don't know about you, but we're prepping our front-lawn lounging attire and cat-eye liner as you read this.
For more images from the lookbook go to the Current/Elliott website.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict traffic to one lane on the Kentucky Route 56/Illinois Route 13 Ohio River Bridge at Shawneetown today.
The lane restriction is to allow electrical work on the bridge navigation lights.
Motorists can expect to encounter one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers starting about 9 a.m. Delays should be minimal, generally less than 4 minutes.
Motorists should be prepared to encounter slowing and stopped traffic on the bridge. Appropriate caution is required in the work zone where equipment, flaggers, and maintenance personnel will be on the bridge deck in close proximity to traffic flow.
The work should be completed and the work zone removed by mid-afternoon.

Posted on 08/14/2012 12:22:17 PM PDT by Mrs. Don-o
Health officials say they're worried that one day there will be no more antibiotics left to treat gonorrhea.
There's some disturbing news out today about a disease we don't hear about much these days: gonorrhea. Federal health officials announced that the sexually transmitted infection is getting dangerously close to being untreatable.
As a result, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidelines for how doctors should treat gonorrhea. The guidelines are designed to keep one of the remaining effective antibiotics useful for as long as possible by restricting the use of the other drug that works against the disease.
"We are sounding the alarm," said Gail Bolan, who heads the CDC's division of STD prevention.
Gonorrhea has been plaguing humanity for centuries. But ever since penicillin came along a dose of antibiotics would usually take care of the disease.
"Gonorrhea used to be susceptible to penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline and doxycycline very commonly used drugs," said Jonathan Zenilman, who studies infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins.
But one by one, each of those antibiotics and almost every new one that has come along since eventually stopped working. One reason is that the bacterium that causes gonorrhea can mutate quickly to defend itself, Zenilman said.
"If this was a person, this person would be incredibly creative," he said. "The bug has an incredible ability to adapt and just develop new mechanisms of resisting the impact of these drugs."
Another reason is that antibiotics are used way too frequently, giving gonorrhea and many other nasty germs too many chances to learn how to survive.
"A lot of this is occurring not because of treatment for gonorrhea but overuse for other infections, such as urinary tract infections, upper respiratory tract infections and so forth," Zenilman said.
It got to the point recently where doctors had only two antibiotics left that still worked well against gonorrhea cefixime and ceftriaxone.
But on Thursday, federal health officials announced that one of their worst fears had come true: Evidence had emerged that gonorrhea had started to become resistant to cefixime in the United States.
"We're basically down to one drug, you know, as the most effective treatment for gonorrhea," Bolan said.
Cefixime and ceftriaxone are in the same class of antibiotics. That means it's only a matter of time before ceftriaxon goes, too, she says.
"The big worry is that we potentially could have untreatable gonorrhea in the United States," Bolan said.
That's already happened in other countries. Totally untreatable gonorrhea is popping up in Asia and Europe.
So the CDC declared that doctors should immediately stop using the cefixime.
"We feel we need to a take a critical step to preserve the last remaining drug we know is effective to treat gonorrhea," Bolan said.
About 700,000 Americans get gonorrhea every year. If untreated, gonorrhea can cause serious complications, including infertility and life-threatening ectopic pregnancies.
"I think it should be a real clarion call to every American that we've got a looming public health crisis on our hands and potentially hundreds of thousands of cases of untreatable gonorrhea in this country every year," said William Smith, who heads the National Coalition of STD Directors.
Officials know adopting the new guidelines won't be easy. For one thing, ceftriaxone is an intra-muscular shot instead of a pill. And they want doctors to give it along with at least one other antibiotic and test patients to make sure they're cured.
But they know that all this will help only for a while, and that they can't stop the clock from ticking on the one drug left.
"We think it's only a matter of time based on the history of this organism until resistance does develop," Bolan said.
So scientists are searching for new combinations of antibiotics that might work. And officials are pushing for new weapons that might stay one step ahead of gonorrhea and the growing list of antibiotic-resistant infections.
As another blogger, Anti-Gnostic (Google that) says,
"Now if NPR really wanted to be ahead of the curve, they'd have titled this piece, The Clock Is Ticking On The Sexual Revolution. Surely that would generate some hits and lively discussion?
"How about don't have sex with everybody in sight? Get married and stay married? Scientists are baffled. What do we do?"
And keep in mind as the HHS Contraceptive Mandate take efective, and every reproductive-capable female (age 12-52) legally resident in the United States gets the option of free! free! injectable and implantable endocrine disruptors, a.k.a. "FDA-approved contraceptives," the rate of STD transmission is gonna skyrocket.
How do I know this? Because it always does.
Class, discuss.
P.S. It'll cripple, blind and kill the babies, too.
If I were Sandra Fluke, I'd be worried.
"If this was a person, this person would be incredibly creative,"
Give that bug a handclap! Clap?
Chick-Fil-A probably has a prevention method but it would only rile the liberals and perverts.
Any individual bacterium that develops immunity to a single antibiotic will rapidly propagate.
It is hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of times less likely for a bacterium to simultaneously have genetic mutations that provide immunity to two different antibiotics.
Aeons ago, I had the distinct pleasure (hah!) of watching a VD movie (16mm projector type movie). It pulled no punches, sugar-coated nothing, left nothing to the imagination.
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
That movie may well have saved me from doing something stupid on a few occasions ... God bless the folks who made it.
Is there a link to this movie? I don't want to see it but I know of some people that would probably benefit from it.
The left says this is good for us. It's all part of women's rights.
Unfortunately the women will end up sterile.
"Aeons ago"? "16mm film"???
No, I don't think there's a link.
But now I'm curious ...
< goes away for a bit >
I can't find it on youtube ... "VD film" and "STD film" do generate a lot of hits, some relevant, some not.
Maybe your family doctor can help.
On and zipped.
"If I were Sandra Fluke, I'd be worried."
My thoughts too. In New York City, its been said that one of every 4 young ladies carries something...so be careful in the bars there.
Perhaps this will FINALLY put the genie back in the bottle and people will have a reason to behave again. But a lot of suffering will take place in the interim.
There's another "drug" available though rather passé for this generation...
It's abstinence and having relations with the person you marry and only that person...
Odd coming from a baby boomer who was told "if it feels good, do it".
***Aeons ago, I had the distinct pleasure (hah!) of watching a VD movie***
By any chance titled MOM AND DAD? I saw that 1940s movie in 1969 double billed with the anti marajuana movie SHE SHOULD'A SAID NO!(Aka WILD WEED) at a drive in theater.
For a 1945 movie it still made a come back in 1958 and 1969, and like VD, what goes around comes around.
How about this headline:
Irresponsible gay sex by immuno-depressed queers main cause of spread of drug-resistant gonnorea.
So isn't it sort of like a free contraceptive and sterilization thing? What's the problem? Infertility and nonviable pregnancies are a key government program! Marketing hook: "Contract gonorrhea - for the Environment!"
No, this was a fairly straight up medical thing, and showed some patients in graphic detail. I don't recall the title, wasn't paying attention until about 5-10 min into the film.
In Western Arkansas your best bet for catching clap is by visiting an Eastern Oklahoma bar.
I had several single co-workers catch the clap or crabs there.
Needless to say, we razzed them unmercifully.
I didn't know what it looked like and didn't know it went all over the body. That is really bad.
" - - - - The left says this is good for us. Its all part of womens rights.
Unfortunately the women will end up sterile."
Thus, it can be concluded that the Left wants women to be sterile.
Maybe the Left wish that they, themselves, had not been born ?
Warning: Not Safe For Work.
Unless you're involved in medical practice of some sort ...
"Pretty sure Gonorrhea doesn't care about one's sexual proclivities"
Of course it doesn't. But 1/5 (20%) of men who have sex with men, get gonorrhea.
Syphallis rates are 44 times greater amount MSM, too.
"CDC conducted sentinel surveillance in 28 cities and found the proportion of cases resistant to fluoroquinolone antibiotics (a first-line treatment for gonorrhea) increased from 4.1 percent in 2003 to 6.8 percent in 2004. Resistance is especially worrisome in men who have sex with men, where it was eight times higher than among heterosexuals (23.8 percent vs. 2.9 percent). In April 2004, CDC recommended that fluoroquinolones no longer be used as treatment for gonorrhea among men who have sex with men. These antibiotics were also not recommended to treat the disease in anyone in California or Hawaii, where resistance has been widespread for years. Outside of these states, the prevalence of fluoroquinolone resistance among heterosexuals remains low at 1.3 percent."
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2007). Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2006, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of STD Prevention, Atlanta, GA
People we love --- if not our kids, then our kids' friends, swaths of them --- are going to suffer badly. Hey, AIDS was so 30 years ago. They don't remember AIDS. And this could be worse.
Concerning heterosexuals: hormonal methods of birth control, such as Depo-Provera (the shot), the patch, the vaginal ring, implants, and oral contraceptives, actually increase a girl's or woman's chances of getting an STD if her partner is infected. Depo-provera will supress the immune system, and hormonal methods can make the reproductive tract more vulnerable to infections like HIV, gonmorrhea and chlamydia.
So hormonally-altered females --- I'm not talking about trannies, I'm talking about straight girls using the most common contraceptives --- are particularly liable to get these infections. They're set up for it.
That's what makes me really angry --- or would make me angry if I permitted mself to get angry rather than really sad.
The further back in time you go to examine gonorrhea, the worse it gets.
For example, one of the early symptoms for males is the formation of pustules in the urethra. This inhibits the flow of urine, and often causes intense pain while trying to urinate. "A burning drip".
As late as World War II, it was (jokingly) remarked that the way to determine if a man had gonorrhea was for him to clench a quarter between his teeth and urinate. When he finished, if the quarter was still in one piece, he did not have gonorrhea.
Left untreated, eventually these pustules would cause scarification of the urethra. In some instances, or with multiple infections, this scarification became so pronounced that it could cause the penis to permanently bend or twist.
In some cases, the pustules were pronounced enough to inhibit urination at all, a dangerous condition that required the doctor to use extreme measures to burst the pustules. One such technique was to lay the penis on a hard surface, like a table, then for the doctor to hit it a very hard blow with his fist, hoping to rupture the pustules.
Around World War I, a medical technique was devised to accomplish this opening of the urethra. First the patient was catheterized, not an easy task past pustules, and then their bladder was filled with an acidic solution. Then the catheter was removed. Then a specialized medical instrument was used, called "the umbrella".
It was a long, thin metal tube that would be inserted up the penis past the pustules. Once in position, a screw on its base would be turned, and on the far end several small blades would umbrella out. Then rapidly, the tube would be pulled from the penis and the blades would tear open the pustules.
This hurt enough so that the patient usually fainted. When they awoke, they would have to urinate the acidic solution, which would often make them faint a second time, but would clean out and sterilize the now ruptured pustules.
After the advent of antibiotics, these medical instruments fell into disuse, and the only references to them remain in very old medical texts.
Stick the infected tallywacker in a jar of mercury.
"My thoughts too. In New York City, its been said that one of every 4 young ladies carries something...so be careful in the bars there."
OK, on behalf of Laz, He Who Would Hit Anything: You mean there is a 3 in 4 chance they don't have anything! Whoo-hoo!!!
I've never tried to determine your age, and If you wish, it's a moot point.
I'm 64 and I think I know the film to which you refer.
Did it feature an evil, blond, disease spreading woman who was just a wee bit older than the hapless teenage characters? As I recall, she was notable for her distinctive walk (you just *knew* she was loose) and her tight plaid pants. At least they seemed tight back then.
Back then, they had the youths picking her up on the street. Today she would be one of their teachers. I think the next week they had us watch "Reefer Madness."
Chick-Fil-A probably has a prevention method but it would only rile the liberals and perverts.
They should come out against everything else on the left.
Business should skyrocket...again.
Most aborted babies are girls.
It's only logical.
I blame the FDA. It shouldn't take 20 years to get a new antibiotic approved, especially if it is a slight variation on an existing molecule. We can and should "evolve" new antibiotic defenses at least as rapidly as our microbial adversaries evolve defenses against what we are already throwing at them.
University student populations are nearly saturated with such diseases (remembering published university STD statistics).
More proof as to how I benefited by coming of age in the 1950s. I came down with The Clap in Korea in 1961. An injection of penicillin and I was good to go! Apparently, I wouldn't be so lucky today.
No, I don't think there's a link.
But now I'm curious ...
From the US Navy, MCMXLII: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIVgpoGJrUI
CDC sez:
In 2009, African Americans had 20.5 times the reported gonorrhea rates as Whites.
1942 was way before my time, but that definitely captures the flavor of the thing: clinical, graphic, and disgusting. I remember it being nastier; that could be a matter of faulty memory.
