Sleep Apnea
Millions of Americans suffer from the effects of sleep apnea. When patients with this disorder sleep, the muscles of their throat and neck relax, which allows soft tissue to block the airway. Snoring results if the airway is only partially blocked, but when the airway obstructs completely, the person temporarily stops breathing. Doctors refer to this cessation of breathing as apnea. Since this serious condition occurs at night, physicians use the term sleep apnea.
Once a person stops breathing, he or she wakes up briefly and then falls back asleep. This cycle of respiratory cessation and arousal repeats itself over and over. Some people with the most severe cases can stop breathing up to an alarming 150 times in a single night. This recurrent pattern disrupts the normal sleep cycle, and individuals with sleep apnea never feel fully rested. Consequently, patients with this illness fall asleep frequently during the day. In extreme cases, patients can doze off during the course of a conversation or even behind the wheel of a car while driving. Some sufferers also experience extreme fatigue and difficulty staying awake at work, which can result in the ultimate loss of their jobs.
Doctors screen patients for sleep apnea by observing their physical appearance and asking a few simple questions. Since the condition occurs more commonly in the obese population, heavy individuals heighten physiciansÔøω index of suspicion. Professionals delve further by asking about the telltale signs of frequent napping during the day, excessive daytime sleepiness, and snoring at night. In addition people with sleep apnea sometimes complain of waking up with severe headaches.
If you describe symptoms typical for sleep apnea, your doctor may order an overnight sleep study. During this procedure, a technician observes the sleep of a patient in a laboratory that is equipped with a comfortable bed and surroundings similar to a hotel room. Instruments monitor the oxygen level over the course of the night along with the chest wall movements, airflow from the nose, leg movements, brain wave patterns and an electrocardiogram. With the detection of patterned breathing cessation, the laboratory will diagnose sleep apnea.
Upon the confirmation of sleep apnea, your doctor will probably recommend sleeping with a special mask called CPAP along with weight loss. The CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) blows a small amount of air through the nose into the back of the throat. This pressure keeps the airway open and prevents the airway from occluding. A dramatic and overall improvement in well-being is usually reported by individuals with the use of CPAP. In rare cases, this mask might not help patients and physicians may recommend surgical procedures to remove the excess tissue in the throat and soft palate.
Narcolepsy is a rare disorder. Sudden and abrupt falling asleep without warning characterizes this condition. Sufferers perform their normal and usual daily tasks that may include driving, operating equipment, and talking on the phone among other activities, only to drop off to an unexpected sleep. Patients with narcolepsy also suffer from an associated cluster of symptoms including sleep paralysis and cataplexy. Cataplexy is the sudden loss of muscle tone following an emotional response such as laughing. Sleep paralysis describes the sensation of being alert associated with a complete inability to move. This usually occurs just prior to arousal in the morning.
Physicians specializing in sleep disorders, use a multiple sleep latency test to diagnose narcolepsy. Patients go to the lab for the procedure after a full nights sleep. Individuals with this disorder will fall asleep in the correct environment despite being well rested. In addition, the EEG pattern and eye movements of patients with narcolepsy demonstrate a tendency to fall immediately into the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep. This distinguishes them from normal individuals who gradually progress from the early stages of sleep to REM sleep.
After diagnosis, physicians treat the disorder with medications. The two most frequently prescribed medications are Ritalin and Provigil. These medicines keep patients awake during the day and prevent the sudden, unexplained sleep attacks typical in narcolepsy.
Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep at night. Patients toss and turn frequently, sleep only for brief periods, and have a sense of overwhelming tiredness during the day. Doctors treat insomnia effectively using a combination of behavioral therapies and medications. Physicians usually recommend adjusting the patientÔøωs schedule to retire at the same time each night and wake up at the same time every morning. Behavioral modifications also include using oneÔøωs bed only for sleeping and not reading or watching television in bed during daytime hours. When behavioral modifications alone fail to rectify the problem, most experts prescribe non-addicting sleeping aides such as Trazadone or Ambien.
Restless leg syndrome
Restless leg syndrome describes a poorly understood condition in which patients kick and thrash their legs repeatedly during the night. This constant movement disrupts the patientÔøωs sleep and results in repeated awakenings during the night. These recurrent awakenings in turn lead to sleepiness during the day. Physicians diagnose this syndrome using an overnight sleep study (polysomnography). Once a diagnosis of restless leg syndrome is established, physicians prescribe medications such as Klonipin, Sinemet or Requip for treatment. These medications usually alleviate the symptoms of kicking during the night and sleepiness during the day.
Parasomnias are abnormal behaviors during sleep. Sleepwalking and night terrors are the most well known parasomnias. Once again, physicians use overnight sleep studies (polysomnography) to diagnose these disorders. If an overnight sleep study demonstrates a parasomnia, physicians prescribe medications and behavioral therapies to treat the problem.

The first RaboDirect PRO12 semi-final of the weekend comes from Ravenhill as Ulster go for a win hat-trick over the Scarlets in 2012/13.
The first RaboDirect PRO12 semi-final of the weekend comes from Ravenhill this Friday as Ulster go for a win hat-trick over the Scarlets in 2012/13.
The Ravenhill outfit defeated the Welsh region both home and away during the regular-season.
And with the Scarlets coming into this fixture having been comprehensively beaten on home soil by Treviso, Ulster will enter as favourites.
Ulster coach Mark Anscombe has made four changes and one positional switch for the contest as Ireland internationals Paddy Jackson, Tom Court, Declan Fitzpatrick and Dan Tuohy all return to the side, while Ruan Pienaar switches to 9.
Paul Marshall, Callum Black and Iain Henderson, who all started last week, are named in the 23.
However, in a major blow, tighthead prop John Afoa was unavailable for selection, having failed to recover from the hamstring injury that he sustained against Cardiff Blues last week.
Meanwhile, the Scarlets will take confidence from a series of big away wins over the course of the season including results on the road in Glasgow, Munster, Edinburgh and Connacht.
And while last week's loss to Treviso hurt, prior to that game they were on a five-match winning run so coach Simon Easterby is keen to move on and put in a good display.
"All that happened last week against Treviso has been firmly put to bed now. We are one of four teams that have 80 minutes of rugby in front of them to prove their ability and battle for a place in the final," he said.
"This is where we wanted to be this season, we've achieved a top four finish, now we have to bring everything we have to this game to back up all the hard work we've put in throughout the season."
Easterby makes three changes to his matchday squad, with Wales international fly-half Rhys Priestland returning to the starting line-up after two appearances from the bench.
Hooker Emyr Phillips replaces Matthew Rees on the bench (groin injury) and Gareth Owen comes onto the bench for Gareth Maule (thumb injury). Back-row Rob McCusker, who was withdrawn late against Treviso with a rib injury, returns to captain his Welsh side.
Form: Ulster finished on top of the pile in the RaboDirect PRO12 table this season to qualify for a first Play-Off since 2010/11. The Ulstermen have lost just one of their last six encounters in the competition; 8-14 at Edinburgh on 22nd March. Ulster's solo defeat to a Welsh region in their last nine such matches was 12-16 at home to Ospreys on 8th February. Scarlets five game winning run in the PRO12 came to a shuddering halt with their 17-41 reversal at the hands of BenettonTreviso at Parc y Scarlets in round 22. The Welshmen's last five fixtures against Irish provinces have all been won by the home side on the day. This is Scarlets first appearance in the Play-Offs. Ulster have won five of their last six contests against Scarlets with the Welshmen's only success during that time being 24- 17 at Parc y Scarlets on 29 October 2011. Scarlets have not been victorious at Ravenhill since the opening round of the 2008/09 season.
Ones to watch:
For Ulster: We go for the sole British and Irish Lion in the line-up, Tommy Bowe. The Ireland international is a big-game player and therefore we expect him to go well. A likely try scorer.
For Scarlets: In only his third game back from injury, a lot will rest on the shoulder of Rhys Priestland. Just how far he is down the Lions pecking order is unclear but if he can dominate at Ravenhill, head coach Warren Gatland may bump him up the standby list.
Head-to-head: Two full-backs who love to run will clash on Friday as Jared Payne takes on Liam Williams. Payne this week put pen to paper on a new Ulster contract so he will want to rubber stamp that deal with a strong performance. Williams meanwhile is a quality runner, as we will see this week and also against Japan for Wales during their June Tests.
Prediction: Scarlets will respond from last week but it won't be enough. Ulster by 5!
The teams:
Ulster: 15 Jared Payne, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Stuart Olding, 11 Tommy Bowe, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Nick Williams, 7 Chris Henry, 6 Robbie Diack, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johann Muller (c), 3 Declan Fitzpatrick, 2 Rory Best, 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Rob Herring, 17 Callum Black, 18 Ricky Lutton, 19 Iain Henderson, 20 Mike McComish, 21 Paul Marshall, 22 Michael Allen, 23 Peter Nelson.
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Rhys Priestland, 9 Aled Davies, 8 Josh Turnbull, 7 Rob McCusker (capt), 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Johan Synman, 4 George Earle, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Ken Owens, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Emyr Phillips, 17 Rhodri Jones, 18 Jacobie Adriannse, 19 Jake Ball, 20 Sione Timani, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Owen Williams, 23 Gareth Owen.

Health care is becoming more and more specialized. We take a look at the trend and what it means for you.
Over the past 10 to 15 years, medicine in the United States has become more specialized, which means more medical residents are choosing areas of medicine such as radiology, anesthesiology, and cardiology instead of traditional fields like internal medicine, family practice, and pediatrics. It's a trend that many experts believe may have dire results for our medical system and patient care (see "The Primary-Care Conundrum," page 95). But medical students, who leave med school with an average of $140,000 of debt, say the incentives to specialize are too great to ignore. Dr. Kelly Fitzgerald, a fourth-year resident at the University of Colorado, always assumed she would specialize, even after a three-year pediatric residency. "There is more and more pressure in primary care to increase the volume of patients seen within a clinic day while still providing the same caliber of care," says Fitzgerald, who ultimately elected to go into anesthesia. "Plus, the hours for general pediatricians are demanding. The doctors need to be available around the clock, yet they are not financially compensated for this the majority of the time."
Beyond the salaries, which can be triple that of a primary-care doctor, specialists often work fewer hours, endure fewer nights on call, and spend less time building a private practice. In short, specializing offers better quality of life. "Since the mid-1990s, the number of University of Colorado School of Medicine graduates specializing in primary care has gone from more than half to around 40 percent today," says Richard Krugman, longtime dean of the school.
The Listings
Each listing includes the physician's name, the number of times he or she has been on the Top Docs list in that category in the past (if applicable), the hospitals at which the physician has privileges, the doctor's office address, and the best phone number for a patient to call for an appointment. We also note if a doctor is not currently accepting new patients.

For Your Information: Hospital Hopping
In the last year, both University of Colorado Hospital and the Children's Hospital have moved to the new Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. As these moves are recent, and ongoing in some cases, addresses and phone numbers for many physicians, departments, and clinics have been changing. For our Top Doctors issue, we do our very best to print the most up-to-date contact information; however, it is possible that information has changed or will change as we go to press.

Diseases do not discriminate; zoonotic diseases are ones that can be transferred between species, from wild animals to humans and from humans to animals. Uncontrolled disease epidemics have the potential to wipe out entire populations of wildlife in short periods of time, and they cause not only significant health problems but also economic problems for humans.
Global climate change, emerging infectious diseases, zoonosis, are all stressors in the environment that make it even more challenging to conserve biodiversity, including wild animals and their habitats. Protected areas around the world are very important sinks for carbon dioxide, one of the primary global warming gases. These very same protected areas, which include national parks and sanctuaries, are crucially important for conserving biodiversity.
Ebola, tuberculosis, rabies, influenza (H5N1, H1N1), foot-and-mouth disease, Brucellosis, are just a few diseases that are having a devastating impact on wildlife populations. Many of these disease causing pathogens are highly contagious and capable of jumping species, especially between wildlife and humans. The impact on wildlife populations from these diseases is considerably increased today than it was in years past.
In addition, the health of wildlife and humans is inextricably connected to the health of the local environment. When the quality of the resource declines, the quality of life for those who depend upon it is diminished. For instance, the clear-cutting of tropical forests can be directly linked to Malaria outbreaks. This is because soon after logging, water begins to pool in areas once covered by trees. Without trees to provide shade, local temperatures then increase. Wildlife populations once present in the forest, decrease, while Anopheles mosquitoes begin to thrive under these new conditions. Sickness due to malaria then becomes all too common among local communities.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's international program initiatives help avert and respond to disease outbreaks as they fund projects conducting disease research, wildlife population health monitoring, and disease containment on one side of the issue, and education campaigns for humans who come into contact with wildlife on the other.
Sharing 98% of their genetic material, humans and apes are affected by many of the same diseases. Infectious diseases like Ebola Hemorrhagic fever have caused the decline of African great ape populations. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the western gorilla population has dropped 60% due to Ebola in the past 15 years. What we often do not realize is that gorillas and chimpanzees are almost twice as vulnerable to the Ebola virus infection as humans.
The Fish and Wildlife Service, through its grants, works to reduce the potential for cross-transmission of diseases between humans and great apes; to gain a better understanding of the impact of Ebola on ape populations, the transmission of Ebola among wildlife, and the appropriate intervention strategy and critical control measures. FWS also aims to expand community-based wildlife disease surveillance networks in order to protect human and ape health with an improved early-warning system, also identifying key great ape populations where vaccination could play a role in improving conservation prospects like tourists and research sites; and helping veterinarians to provide diagnostics and treatment of great apes.

I like em!
"I bought these to wear to a wedding. I was concerned the heel would be too tall for me (I am a mid-low heel kind of girl), but they were perfect. Easy to walk in and comfortable enough. I would not want to wear these for an all-day standing occasion, but they were quite comfortable for several hours (which did include a lot of standing). The sole is padded some, which is helpful. Overall, I would reccomend these."

Skip to comments.Magic mushroom drugs could treat severe depression
Posted on 04/07/2013 10:47:57 AM PDT by Jyotishi
Drugs made from magic mushrooms could help treat people with severe depression, a new study suggests.
Scientists believe that the chemical psilocybin, the psychedelic ingredient in magic mushrooms, can turn down parts of the brain that are overactive in severely depressive patients, the Guardian reported.
The drug appears to stop patients dwelling on themselves and their own perceived inadequacies.
However, a bid by British scientists to carry out trials of psilocybin on patients in order to assess its full medical potential has been blocked by red tape relating to Britains strict drugs laws.
Professor David Nutt, professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, said that because magic mushrooms are rated as a class-A drug, their active chemical ingredient cannot be manufactured unless a special licence is granted.
We havent started the study because finding companies that could manufacture the drug and who are prepared to go through the regulatory hoops to get the licence is proving very difficult, Nutt said.
The whole field is so bedevilled by primitive old-fashioned attitudes. Even if you have a good idea, you may never get it into the clinic, it seems, he added.
Research by Nutt has found that psilocybin switches off part of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex.
It was known that this area is overactive in individuals suffering from depression.
In his tests on healthy individuals, it was found that psilocybin had a profound effect on making these volunteers feel happier weeks after they had taken the drug, Nutt said.
magic mushrooms at their best, are the BEST!
At their worst, a NIGHTMARE!
Always worked for me. LOL
There was quite a bit of clinical research done on psilocybin, peyote, and LSD back in the 60's.
"There was quite a bit of clinical research done on psilocybin, peyote, and LSD back in the 60s."
I think Irish gangster Whitey Bulger was among the study participants for the Army
First error, if they were healthy, they would not have depression. Quit trying to treat symptoms, and treat the underlying cause. But then, that would not be such a money maker would it?
Professor David Nutt.
Timothy Leary started down that path, then just proceeded through most every pharmaceutical there ever was just trying to find a new kick and trip his balls off. His actions ended up discrediting the entire endeavor.
Agreed. His biography was interesting though. He lamented that in all his years in Psychiatry the basic statistics hadn't changed at all. One third of patients got better, one third got worse, and one third stayed the same. I think he just gave up on science and decided to have a good time.
The problem to any drugs as a remedy to depression is that people have to come down- or overdose.
Unless there is organic brain damage-Jesus is the only thing that offers a renewal of the mind, and a transformation that transcends depression.
Oh... you mean the 'BRAT PACK' in Hollywood ?

FReepathon THIS Month!!
I took them a few times over 40 years ago. The dried ones were quite pleasant. Then somebody got a bag of "fresh" shrooms. In about 20 minutes I knew they weren't real. Speed rush!!! They were probably ordinary mushrooms, bought at the store, and doused with something like LSD? and definitely Speed. Horrible! That episode ended my "experimentations." Couldn't trust what anything was.
I'm pretty certain there weren't any depressed folks at Woodstock.......
Fresh is the best!
However, it's all about where you are, and who you are with period!
And keep smiling!
Some people balk at medical pot products and say what's next, medical meth?
Well, prescription methamphetamine has been available for decades to ADD/ADHD patients. It can even be legally prescribed to children.
That's right, pure methamphetamine can be prescribed to kids for something we are not even sure is a disease. Brand name Desoxyn.
Synthetic heroin is prescribed to people all the time. Even for minor injuries. Some are stronger and more addictive than natural heroin.
So if super addictive/debilitating methamphetamine and heroin can be prescribed if someone says it helps them why not pot? Well, there's no money in plants people can grow at home but there's plenty of money in addictive expensive pills. Especially when most of those expensive pills are paid for by the taxpayer.
Want to see the real dopers sitting on welfare and popping pills on your dime? Work as a pharmacy delivery person for just one day. I say let the dopers grow their own instead of getting us to pay for their pills.
The WOD is simply another way to scam taxpayers and take freedoms away.
I never laughed SOOOOO hard in my life at the stupidest things than when I was shrooming. So hard my abdomen was sore the next day. I'll be the first to tell you that it felt therapeutic...
By replacing it with Schizophrenia?
Shrooms are great if one could control the dosage. You just never know if 3 are enough or 6 are too many.
No one said they were. Researcher was looking for mood changes in normal individuals.
Quit trying to treat symptoms, and treat the underlying cause.
Well, neuropsychopharmacology is certainly meant to treat the underlying cause. I hope you aren't implying that all depression are situational in etiology. Would make it rather difficult to explain offspring raised separately from parents who manifest the same psychiatric symptoms, in addition to both possessing biochemical markers linked to the disorder.
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know.
"Fresh is the best!"
I would agree, however, these were not fresh! They were store mushrooms soaked in speed and some psychedelic.
So is depression more prevalent in Japan and India?
Never tried them, but my guess is that you would be so out of your gourd you wouldn't know if you were depressed or not.
when I got out of the Army in 72 the first thing I did was stop cutting my hair. Then I ran into an old girl friend from high school and we dated for a while. She was all hippy chick and I was just a long haired country boy. We decided to got to Lubbock TX for a Ted Nugent concert and she brought a bag of mushrooms with her, I'd smoked pot in Vietnam but I wasn't ready for this. I ate one before we left and one on the way and another when we got there. I still remember that concert like it was yesterday, had a blast.
Bull$h!t. The mind is not just a mix of chemicals.
Idiots think that you can just add or subtract a few chemicals and woila! everything is just great again.
WHAT? Depression is not just a "chemical imbalance"? You'd better avoid the depression & suicide threads, they'll kill you there!
Oh wait, this IS a depression thread. Prepare for violent demise!
Also, as a defense attorney (former prosecutor), I now understand why the government sticks to its position. They aren't going to take away the ability of cops to smell marijuana during a traffic stop and get the camel's nose under the tent. The government markets and black markets would take a huge hit financially if marijuana prohibition was repealed.
Truthfully I have seen much worse come from the misuse of alcohol than just about anything. I've never heard of a college student overdosing on marijuana. I have seen many instances of lethal alcohol poisoning. Not to mention that alcoholics go through a withdraw from addition that can itself be fatal. None of those things can be said of marijuana.
I'm not pro drug, I really am just against paying hundreds of billions of dollars as a society never making a dent in the WOD while domestic law enforcement continues to militarize itself, and the cartels bank off of the logical consequences of prohibition. The solution to the "drug problem" has given us a police state problem in my opinion.
Just my thoughts FWIW.
Believe it or not they were legal in Japan up until about 10 years ago . Costly but a nice , mellow high if taken in small doses .
If researcher was looking for mood changes in normal individuals, then magic mushrooms would do the trick. Smart researcher, not only gets to get his friends high on class one drugs supplied by the Government, but gets paid to do it.
"Party at Doc's house Dude!"
The Kennedy family made its money, and bought a Presidency on the Alcohol trade during to proabition. People will not buy that stupid idea again. So, war on drugs.
Which drug dealing family will be a future president I wonder?
Will we have a war on text watches then?
I wouldn't count on every depressive personality to have the same underlying problems, some of which could be brought to the fore rather than alleviated. I also wouldn't count on every batch of psilocybin to have the same effect on those who consume it. Psychoactives are not for people who have deep-seated fears and suppressed strong emotions. It will come out and it ain't gonna be pretty. Maybe in a controlled environment with tightly controlled dosages and patients who have been screened for other underlying psychological problems it could be a good thing, but I'd still have my doubts.
However I do suspect the primary cause of depression is adrenal burnout. As a side note, Nutritional therapy with high enzyme foods with a high mineral content DOES rapidly replete the body and reduce depression symptoms far faster than any therapy that I know of. I know of a Naturopathic Doctor that is very excited because some of his patients are showing marked improvement in a few months eating some rather custom tailored sour Kraut recipes from a local home kitchen movement group.
While I know the theory and have felt the benefits myself, I am no where near ta Kraut maestro. I can share the basic premise with you if you wish.
Ummm...yeah no kidding Captain Obvious. That's why they cause us to hallucinate and get high. That's why they mess with our minds. Of course it's all artificial. Nothing is really being changed except for the fact that it's escapism. Might as well say that getting drunk causes people to stop dwelling on themselves and our own perceived inadequacies.
I think most anybody with the least bit of an adventurous nature who attended college from the late sixties right on through the eighties had a brush with them. Mine came in an old "cracker" shack in Central Florida while on Spring Break. One of our group was from down there, we went out to visit and party. Nothing out of the ordinary at first, music, beer, a few shots of Jack, then a thunderstorm came up, ended, then one of the sort of hippyish chicks who actually lived in the shack got a gleam in her eye, went and got a basket and said come on, let's go before the sun's been out too long.
The shack was out in the middle of nowhere on the edge of a huge pasture, it's big business down there, cattle in Central Florida. Looked like we were on the edge of the Everglades or something to me, palm trees, forest more like jungle, standing water here and there.
But, we went out and picked these little mushrooms, a specific kind that she pointed out, most were springing up out of cow patties but some weren't and those were the ones we picked. Got her little basket about half full, went back to the shack on the edge of the pasture and she went to work. Washed them, trimmed the stems, discarded some, cut some of the larger ones into smaller pieces. Then she made a big boiling pot of grape koolaid, put them in there and let it simmer with the lid on for an hour or two, then let it cool.
We drank the koolaid. It was interesting to say the least. Everything was funny for a while, everything. That faded then colors started getting intense, like they were alive, it was like stepping out of black and white into the Land Of Oz. It got more peculiar after that, very meaningful behavior from wildlife, felt telepathic. Some of our group didn't take it very well, and started getting afraid, which was like stepping back into black and white.
I won't go on about it but I can see why certain creative types have done it. I can also see why some people do very disturbing things while on it. I wouldn't do it again and do not recommend it at all, not because of what I experienced but because of what I saw others experience. I guess I'm not all that threatened by objective reality as I know it coming undone. Some are. Hard to know where you fall beforehand.
That's my mushroom story.
Back in the day I avoided ''shrooms''. I didn't trust the whole mushroom genus. Fungus as I saw it, dirty things pulled from the ground. I always went for the synthetic chemical stuff, that being LSD. Ah, the ''good old days'', eh? My! Suddenly there's a caterpillar wanting to talk with me....

Yeah well, I have two more flower tutorials going up today and because they are in a 'for kids' format, I won't say too much about because there is nothing really I can say. The first flower is "how to draw a sunflower for kids", step by step. Sunflowers are one of my little sister's favorite of all flower species because they grow to be so darn tall. These hearty blooms are also a very popular spring flower, and they can grow to be fifteen feet tall. Now that's a big flower. Their pretty vibrant yellow petals and brown colored centers makes them one of the world's most recognized flowers around. Even though this is a for kids lesson, everyone will enjoy drawing another bloom of spring when you draw a sunflower for kids. Have fun people and let me know if there are other flowers that you would like to see on Dragoart that I don't have already.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Part of our ongoing effort to keep our readers informed is to make sure they have the knowledge they need to be excited about a game. We've reached out to every developer releasing a game this year to have them talk a bit about why their game is special. Next up in this ongoing series is SMITE from Hi-Rez Studios. Read our mini-interview and then talk about it in the comments.
MMORPG: What does 2013 have in store for your game?TODD HARRIS: The past few months of SMITE Beta we've been focused on features for the competitive scene. We've delivered a great spectator camera, demo/replay system, team support, and ranked game support.
Read more of Bill Murphy's SMITE: The Games of 2013 - SMITE.
I've been playing this a bit and I can't quite wrap my head around it. The whole, "You're slowed while actively attacking, but the person you are actively attacking doesn't suffer any movement penalties unless they are actively attacking as well" thing seems beyond silly.
Definitely going to put more time into this, but thus far I've been interested in the ideas behind the game, but unimpressed by it mechanically : /
Currently Playing: ESO and FFXIV
Have played: You name it
If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.
I've played a few times and it's fun, but I think the queue/match system is a little broken. Don't know how they match people, if it's by level, but some players, like Silacoid said, make new accs and take down his entire enemy team. They should match by K/D/Assist ratio besides level, I don't know.
Btw, I only tried Conquest novice, maybe that's why.
To anyone wanting to try the game out.. I've been in the beta for more than 6 months now and I can share some insight on my experience with Smite.
The good:
- The game is unique. It's really not your regular MOBA and certainly not like anything I've ever played before.
- It's fun! Probably the most important aspect. It's also newb-friendly and atm the community isn't as bad as in other more known MOBAs.
- I really like the look of the game. While it doesn't have top notch graphics, the art style makes up for it and fits the game really well.
The bad:
- The balance is bad and it's really not looking good for the future because Hi-Rez doesn't seem to really know what is going on with their game. Atm tanks are facerolling every other class. If the enemy has a decent Sobek and/or Ymir and your team doesn't, good luck because you're in for a lot of pain and frustration. Some gods can build pure tank items and in the end dish out more overall damage than their carries. It's ridiculous and devs haven't done anything about it for a few months now.
- Matchmaking is beyond horrible. If you're a good player and don't play with friends, prepare to get worst of the worst players in your team to "compensate" for your high skill level (hidden elo), meaning you will have to carry them each and every match. After reaching max level, I can be lucky if I win every third round because one lane will ALWAYS feed. So good players get punished, basically. My advice.. get friends and play only with them.
- Devs don't communicate with their playerbase enough. We're left in the dark most of the time so we have no idea what they plan and what is the reason behind each change they make.
So in the end.. Smite is interesting and fun. But if you're looking for a balanced game and want to put a lot of time into a new MOBA, I'd suggest you to check other games or at least wait for release date in case things change.
Eat me!
its a good game with a very competitive side already. you have companies like ROOT, Curse and SK gaming all sponsoring teams with Curse even holding their own tournaments for the game,
yes the game has some balance issues but tell me that DOTA 2 or LoL are balanced and I will laugh in your face and tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about.
I enjoy the whole MOBA idea but i love the idea of being able to control my character with mouse and keyboard, which is what smite is all about. it feels more like a MMO PVP match than a MOBA in terms of controls.
HiRez is putting a lot of work into the game usually patching every two or so weeks and they are constantly balancing gods trying to find that sweet spot.

In response to Eric, sometimes players make new accounts when they've maxed another to either start over in ranked or get easy favor for different gods. They are forced to play the noobie games where they will wipe the floor with new players. You are always able to surrender as a team by pressing f6 after the 10 min mark
Tried surrendering, but with one guy disco'd, it was 2 vs 2 to surrender (the 'pro' on our team and his friend wouldn't surrender).
Originally posted by eric_w66
Does anyone know if they will add PvE aka Co-op vs AI style matches to this game? I played a single novice level pvp game and ran into ALL the usual PvP stuff that drives me away. Teammate disco's 5 minutes in, guy on same team calling all the rest of the team noobs, even though we're in the noobie match queue. Guy on the other team obviously slumming, making everyone else, well, look like noobs. And it took almost an hour to finish, even when it was 4 on 5 for nearly the entire game.
That was my experience with the game as well. I like the game itself, but the playerbase there is the absolute worst.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
3rd person MOBA. Very different from LOL. This puts you right into the action and is more fun and intense IMO. Community issues are similar to other MOBAs, but not that bad once you get pass levels 1-6.
Game has changed a lot in Beta and for the better. I disagree with comment that Hi Rez are involved with listenting to communtiy. They have an employee strea every day and provides info on future updates. They have employees go on other players streams and discuss the game. I have been very impressed with how forthcoming they are.
Basically, try it if you have not. It is the most fun I have had in a MOBA and I have played most of them.

My colleague Tiernan Ray yesterday showed you plans for the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust. Today Andrew Tangel and Chris O'Brien of the Los Angeles Times highlight what would immediately be one of history's most unusual fund risk factors: The chance that the very act of owning the fund might become illegal.
As outlined in regulatory paperwork from the twins best known for their yearslong legal battle with Facebook (FB), it would happen if governments decide to outlaw Bitcoin on account of decentralized currencies' potential use in money laundering or other illegal activities.
Obviously, such a move would render the ETF's underlying assets illegal, and owning the ETF itself may well become "illegal and subject to sanction," according to the fund filing through which Tangel and O'Brien combed.
It's not the only unusual "risk factor" in what is usually a pretty conventional set of disclosures. Whereas a typical ETF filing might tell you about risks ranging from market losses to currency impacts or country risks for global stock funds, this one traces a variety of disaster scenarios, all pertaining to the odd spectacle that is Bitcoin.
From Tangel and O'Brien:
For one, the filing notes how Bitcoins are used more by speculators than "in the retail and commercial marketplace." That could lead to price volatility, and "adversely affect" investors, the filing said.
And Bitcoins' libertarian appeal may also invite potential losses.

Skip to comments.Owner of solar-powered home fights neighbor's trees, gains little ground - "Right to sunlight"
Posted on 05/20/2012 7:21:57 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
LARGO Last summer, Mike Zwalley put a $65,000 solar energy system on his roof. The system a 30-gallon solar water heater and 44 black panels that convert sunlight into electricity cut Zwalley's electric bill from $300 to $400 per month to $10 to $20.
About two months after Zwalley installed the system at his waterfront home off Indian Rocks Road, his next-door neighbor planted three cypress trees, each about 10 feet tall, along his property line.
Zwalley, a 58-year-old car salesman, was not happy. He had asked the neighbor, Wade Gibson, not to plant the trees there.
Zwalley found several websites that estimated the trees would grow to between 70 and 100 feet. At that height, they could cast shade on Zwalley's solar panels.
Gibson told Zwalley that he did not think the trees would get that big, but if they did, Gibson would take care of it, according to Zwalley.
That answer wasn't good enough for Zwalley. He called city management. He called state legislators. He called legal experts. They all gave him different forms of the same answer: In Florida, the law is not on your side.
It would be in a few other states, though.
As energy costs continue to rise, legal experts say courts should expect more battles over solar panels and a property owner's rights, or lack thereof, to sunlight.
"We're going to see more and more, and if it's on your rooftop or in your back yard, you're going to be concerned about your neighbor growing trees," said Scott Anders, director of the Energy Policy Initiatives Center in San Diego. "And growing trees is a good thing, right?"
If Zwalley lived in any of the following places,...
(Excerpt) Read more at tampabay.com ...
If I were Gibson, I'd have told car-salesman Zwalley, "Let me take this back to my manager; I'll fight like hell for you!"
If the three trees in the picture are what Zwalley's worried about he's an idiot. Hell, he's probably an idiot anyway....the few panels he has for $65,000?
Hey,Mr Solar Power...go bleep yourself.
This guy has a$$HOLE WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM
I thought the same thing. At best he'll break even in 14 years. A tremendous waste of money.
He should just pay the neighbor part of what he saves on electricity, instead of trying to get the government to use force on his behalf to make the neighbor comply with him.
You don't like your neighbor planting tree's on his property?
Simple solution.....
On his roof, wearing flip-flops.
Darwin will eventually take care of him.
Why I love Florida. If the tree hugger doesn't like it he can GTFO. Gibson's nicer than I would be. I'll give anyone a fair chance but once they demonstrate they're a whack job all bets are off.
I believe "Stick it where the sun don't shine" is the proper response.
This numbnuts reminds me of people who move close to an airport then complain about the noise.
I guess some kind of tax credit makes it work for Zwalley since the best payout on this $65,000 investment is a little over 13 years.
Yeah buddy, that is the way I want to spend my money.
Better than the stock market though?
And what is the life expantency on these panels? Most of them are listed at 15-25 years, so more than likely at his "break even point" he will have to start replacing the system! What a maroon!
Saving $300-$400 a month. Lets call it $350.
$350 x 12= $4200 a year
$65,000 ÷ $4200 a year= 16 years
Not to mention interest. Lost, if he paid cash. Paid, if he financed it.
$65,000 x 6%= $3,900 = Not much in savings.
Now of course, if we are talking peace of mind of relying on the electric company, that worth can only be answered by the homeowner.
I wonder how much lawyer fees are going to cost in the end?
Or, simply cut off any branches that extend over your lot ~ lawful everywhere in America if not in most of the world.
another case of some asshole worrying about someone else's property.
Plus, there's not just interest here, there's the amount of money he'd have to earn to get back the difference in cash.
With taxes climbing all the time he might well make back his investment in 5 years (considering interest rates are near 0).
I've got a good neighbor. He didn't love the big old willow trees in my yard shedding all over the place but he never complained. Xourse after a storm I usually cleaned up the mess they left in his yard first.
He did say that he was thinking about having a party when I cut them down.
Around here, the hail would destroy his mis-investment in a few years.
Individuals are different than businesses ~ there's no depreciation on your owner-occupied dwelling.
Assuming nothing breaks or needs maintenance, it will pay itself off in 167 - 233 months!
Yes, he's an idiot, but the breakeven point is a whole lot sooner than you think. The US taxpayers are refunding 30% of his cost next April 15. The utility is paying him for contributing to their renewable energy assets in addition to cutting his utility bill - and charging his neighbors more to cover the "solar renewable energy credits". I don't know if his state or county gives him something too, but they might. He'll make out just fine and a whole lot sooner than you think.
Most likely ,by the time the trees actually are shading the panels it won't matter to Zwalley.
Although I am kind of surprised by the hatred evinced by some for solar and enviromental concerns.
Of course concern for the enviroment once was called "conservation" and had as its goal maximizing human benefits ,both tangible and intangible, while minimizing destruction of the land,plants,and animals.
Yes, but he FEEEEEEELS so goooood about what he has done!!!!
First, when Gibson moved into his home, there wasn't a house with 44 ugly solar panels on it.
About two months after Zwalley installed the system at his waterfront home off Indian Rocks Road, his next-door neighbor planted three cypress trees, each about 10 feet tall, along his property line.
Sounds to me like Mr Gibson planted the trees to block HIS VIEW of Zwalley's property.
Gibson told Zwalley that he did not think the trees would get that big, but if they did, Gibson would take care of it, according to Zwalley.
That answer wasn't good enough for Zwalley.
The correct answer is: Plant more damned MATURE Cypress trees!
How long before he realizes a return on an investment of 65K when his bill was 300 to 400 a month? Can the guy add?
Yeah, my homestead in MN is surrounded by 60' cottonwoods and a woods on one side.
My neighbor on the other side shares the cottonwoods so we share the efforts of clean up.
I have one 5' tree here in GA and life is good when I'm here! : )
In fact Gibson planted the cypress trees to replace shade lost on his driveway and garage after the $65,0000 solar guy cut down his own large oak tree (probably to accommodate and facilitate his "cheap" solar power decision).
He's a CAR SALESMAN.
Car salesman: 1. A$$hole
You omitted the prime factor in the new equation. When there is no coal or nuclear power, the comparative advantage will shift.
Meantime ,the self esteem value factor will be adequate to justify the cost differential. To calculate the value of self esteem and mental superiority is not possible. Both have large irrational factors
It will be interesting to see what happens to all these panels during a hurricane.
Only to the property line.
Less then that, far less. When the financial markets settle down, and they will, $65,000 invested modestly in a balanced portfolio will bring about 7-8%. This amounts to about $4700.00 or about $400.00 monthly and he would still have the original invested amount.
Of course there are taxes involved but even so his investment in solar at this time is a poor investment choice given the rapid growth of technology in this area.
Is his name State Farm?
A treehugger that won't hug his neighbor's trees.
What if electricity rates double in the next few years? Then it maybe that his savings per month end up at let's call it $700 a month. Probably have it paid off with savings in 10 years.
I don't know the longevity of solar systems(the ones on your home not in the galaxy), I don't know what savings or costs this guy will see in the future.
I do know it has to feel pretty damn good to not need the electric company to power your needs. Now if you could just get rid of the cable and the rest of the municipalities' costs(water, trash, etc.)
I would prefer to be self sufficient even if it meant I spent a little MORE for electricity than having to rely on the electric company.
"Yes, hes an idiot, but the breakeven point is a whole lot sooner than you think. The US taxpayers are refunding 30% of his cost next April 15. The utility is paying him for contributing to their renewable energy assets in addition to cutting his utility bill - and charging his neighbors more to cover the solar renewable energy credits
"Although I am kind of surprised by the hatred evinced by some for solar and enviromental concerns"
See above. The only way anyone even considers solar or wind power is with massive government subsidies. Subsidies paid for with MY tax dollars. Wind and solar don't work, probably will neve work as utility grade producers of electricity. The are expensive, complex, and have short life spans in addition to their own environmental problems. Solar and wind power systems both have to be backed up by conventional generation plants because wind and solar are not reliable. Yeah, I have a lot of hate for the "greenies" because they are stupid and they lie and I have to pay for it.
16.92 years ROE for a $20 monthly bill reduced from $400 per his account. Many of the cells in his electricity generation system will be gone before that (most of them anyway)...battery replacements, DC/AC conversion system, control system....somebody sold him a bill of goods.
Additionally, they installed this stuff directly over a membrane roof. I'm guessing which will develop stress leaks long before that. I cringe when I look at it.
C'mon, they're not all that way. In fact the majority of dealerships today are extremely customer oriented and very above board in their dealings with the public.
There are of course a dew of the scumbags still about but they are far far fewer then in the bad old days.
Right to sunlight...how about right to shade?!?!
I think he was putting it in as a hedge on skyrocketing electric rates. All the calculation done do not take into account ant rate increase forecast.
at least he has proved his awesome coolness..........lol
If I were Gibson, I'd be very wary of Zwalley. I read an article some years ago about some of the 1% in Kali involving trees, albeit for the view, not solar power.
The homeowner with the trees came back from a vacation to find his trees cut down. "Somebody" hired a tree service to remove them.
I think the neighbor without the view, er, that used to have no view, was the first one on the list of prime suspects.
And it wasn't an isolated incident involving such opinions on views/trees.
Or perhaps drill for oil!

If you are used to small bore and high power sights then take a look at these. The sight windage and elevation adjustments move the same as sights on small bore and high power sights. Clock wise is down for elevation and left on your windage. These sights feature a slotted adjustable spring anchored by the front mounting screw (rear on Sharps). This allows proper indexing from rifle to rifle. Each staff will fit different bases so all you have to do is buy additional bases and you can swap the staffs from rifle to rifle. Each sight is machined from solid steel to precise tolerances. Thirty minutes of windage each side of zero on the Long Range Soules and fifteen minutes of windage each side of zero on the Mid Range Staff. The adjustable eyepieces are copies after antique Lyman sights. Each has five different size holes for use in varying light conditions. The scales, cut on a pantograph, are standard vernier. Baldwin staffs are approximately .040" wider than other tang staffs. This provides more stability, better durability and ease of reading.
Be sure you are ordering the correct sight for your rifle. There are absolutely no returns on sights that have been mounted.

More than 2,500 volunteers painted 50 Utah and Idaho homes as part of the 12th Annual Zions Bank Paint-a Thon.
Fifty homes throughout Utah and Idaho were brightened up during the Zion Bank's 12th annual Paint-a-Thon on June 17-22. More than 2,500 Zions Bank employee volunteers and their families scraped, prepped and painted homes in the state's largest single-employer volunteer event of its kind.Employees from Zions Bank's Huntington, Castle Dale and Price branch locations painted the home of Desie Oviatt in Huntington.
"Most people wouldn't think of asking a bank to help fix up their house- so we volunteer, " said Scott Anderson, president and CEO of Zions Bank. "For Zions Bank employees, the annual Paint-a-Thon means more than sprucing up an area home. It's about taking the responsibility to help improve the communities in which we live and work."
Launched in 1991, Zions Bank's Paint-a-Thon began as a volunteer project for 12 homes along Utah's Wasatch Front. Over the past 11 years, Zions Bank employees have put aside summer pastimes for a week each year, volunteering in the evenings after work and on Saturday- to scrape, prep and paint a total of 378 homes throughout Utah and Idaho. Homes painted by Zions Bank employees are located from Logan to St. George and Vernal to Monticello in Utah; and from Moscow to Paris, Weiser to Ammon in Idaho.
The Paint-a-Thon is targeted to low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners. The average age of this year's homeowner is 77, with an average monthly income of $940. The projects to be completed during the annual week long event are selected with the assistance of state housing agencies, community organizations and local churches. In addition to painting, Zions employees provide clean-up, pruning, mowing, planting and minor repairs as needed by the homeowner. The cost for all paint and supplies is contributed by Zions Bank.
"The Paint-a-Thon has become an event that all of us at Zions Bank look forward to each year," said Ed Christianson, Huntington branch manager. "We recognize that banking is a local business, and that for us to be successful, we must have very strong ties to the communities we serve. The annual Zions Bank's Paint-a-Thon provides an excellent opportunity for all of our employees to take an active part in our area towns."

Mushroom Recipe Madness at the Beach Cafe
Chef Matthew Steffen of the Beach Café in Kirkland is always looking for a healthy vegetarian meal to place on the menu and this grilled portabello dish is packed with flavor.
Grilled Portobello with basmati rice, coconut-peanut sauce, mandarin oranges, cilantro, peppadew peppers,and scallion
Servings: 4
Recipe Ingredients:
1. 8 Portobello's (gills scraped & marinated in olive oil and mirin)
2. 4 cups – cooked basmati rice
3. 2 cups – coconut – peanut sauce
4. 1/2 cup – mandarin orange slices
5. 1 bunch – cilantro (washed & chopped)
6. 1/2 cup – peppadew peppers (julienned)
7. 1 bunch – scallions (chopped)
Recipe Directions:
Marinate the cleaned Portobello's in a little olive oil and mirin mixture. Add a little salt and pepper and let sit for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. While that is marinating, in a large sauté pan get a little olive oil over a medium heat. Add the peppadew peppers and scallions and caramelize. (Reserve a little bit of the peppers and scallions for garnish) Once they are caramelized add the basmati rice. Add a ½ cup of water to get the rice not to stick. Add the cilantro (reserving a small amount for garnish) and the coconut – peanut sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook for 5minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. While the rice is finishing get your Portobello's going on the grill. It will take about 2 minutes per side, but be careful of flare-up from the oil on the grill. Once the Portobello's are grilled, cut them in half and set aside aside. In 4 bowls, separate the rice mixture. Put 2 Portobello's in each bowl (shingling the mushrooms). Sprinkle the remaining peppers, scallions, and cilantro over each dish and enjoy.

2 stocks Lemongrass (chopped)
3oz. Galangal Root (washed and chopped)

1 tblsp Crushed Red Pepper
2 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup Salted Peanuts
In a sauté pan, sauté the lemongrass, galangal root, ginger, white onion, fennel bulb, garlic, and jalapeno with a little blended oil until caramelized. Deglaze with the mirin and add in all other ingredients except for the peanut butter and peanuts. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for 30 minutes. Blend in a blender and strain through a china cap. Slowly whisk in the peanut butter and peanuts until the peanut butter has thoroughly melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
This is a completely vegan and gluten free recipe.

Food City wins award on selling alcohol responsibly
BRISTOL, Va. - Cashiers at a local grocery store were awarded Friday for their efforts in keeping alcohol out of the wrong hands.
Food City on Euclid Avenue in Bristol, Virginia accepted the TIPS award Friday morning.
TIPS stands for Training Intervention Procedures. We learned Food City has educated more than 22,000 employees in selling alcohol responsibly and legally with the TIPS program since 1994.
But cashier training doesn't end after orientation. "They must complete a three-hour course before they can ever run a register. Then it continues on to monthly interventions, monthly education, and team meetings that we have with our folks to reinforce the importance of the responsibility that they have," said Food City CEO Steve Smith.
Local law enforcement officers attended the ceremony in support of Food City's efforts to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors.

Comments: Pricey, but holds up well to the meanest pike and bass caught plenty of 30"+ pike and still running true.
From: Herman: Midwest
Comments: this thumper creates a good vibration and is very durable. i have caught big bass with it and my biggest pike so far.
Comments: I had very high hopes for this lure, but did not have any real success with it. Fished it from summer to early winter. Over 5 months I only ever caught one small bass on it, while I caught many more on other spinnerbaits on the same days. To make things worse, the wire broke above the knot on a standard retrieve after 5 months of non-frequent use. I was very surprised, thinking the titanium wire would last a long time. It sure didn't get stressed from catching fish.

Turn not your face from your son.
Verse: Your salvation, O God, has helped me.
TIMOTHY, my son, those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that, if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion:
God was manifested in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit,
seen by angels,
preached among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory.
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving; for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

A territorial slugfest between Scotland A and England Saxons ended in a 16-16 draw on Friday at Scotstoun in Glasgow.
A territorial slugfest between Scotland A and England Saxons ended in a 16-16 draw on Friday at Scotstoun in Glasgow.
Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns kicked four penalties on top of a penalty try following successive indiscrepancies at the scrum from Scotland, who scored a try of their own through Glasgow's Bryon McGuigan.
Tom Heathcote's 78th-minute penalty proved the decisive strike, levelling the scoreline with time running out to split the honours.
Burns opened the scoring with a penalty after a late tackle from Scotland A captain Jonny Gray, with Henry Prygos responding thanks to an audacious drop goal.
The pre-game downpour meant this one was always going to hinge on the effectiveness of each pack, with Scotland's maul impressing early on.
Burns missed his second penalty attempt before England dropped to 14 men when Gloucester scrum-half Dan Robson was sent to the bin.
Scotland only managed a penalty in Robson's absence to put them ahead 6-3.
Elliot Daly's dangerous chip forced a Scottish knock-on five metres from the try line and it ended in a series of destructive scrums, that left referee Laurent Cardona with no choice but to award a penalty try. It handed the England Saxons a 10-6 lead at the break.
England's scrum maintained its dominance at the start of the second half as Burns landed his second penalty.
It nearly got worse for Scotland when McGuigan was caught in two minds, opting to kick late on his own five-metre line with England pouncing to knock on and force a scrum. Despite England's promising drive, the put-in was reversed Scotland's way.
Bar that blip England's scrum provided an ideal platform for Robson and Burns to pull the strings and they nearly capitalised, Kyle Eastmond's try-scoring pass to Adam Thompstone just knocked on by the Leicester wing.
England's momentum though was stemmed by the departure to the bin of Henry Slade, with Scotland punching back thanks to a try from McGuigan – sucking the defence to the near side before releasing the Glasgow Warrior down the left touchline, Heathcote levelling the scores with the conversion.
An illegal turnover from Scotland at the breakdown handed Burns a chip shot to restore England's lead at 16-13, the Saxons edging the battle at the breakdown as Scotland's ill-discipline hurt their best efforts.
Jack Cuthbert survived a second Scottish kicking scare deep in his 22 as the hosts' number of mistakes crept up, with neither side throwing too much caution to the wind with the scoreline only separating them by three points.
Heathcote had the chance to level the scores with a penalty out on the right, but the Bath number ten shanked his kick well wide to deny Scotland the chance to go level.
He was handed an immediate reprieve, Luke Wallace taking out a Scottish runner chasing a high kick to give Heathcote a much more central attempt with two minutes to play. He made no mistake, tying things up at 16-16.
