Kidney patients needing a transplant could be facing a postcode lottery in accessing organs, research out today suggests.
A study found large variations across the UK that could not be explained by differences in the health of patients.
Some kidney patients fall off the waiting list if they become too ill for a transplant but, if their health improves, they can go back on.
The average waiting time for an adult kidney transplant is 841 days but many people die before they receive an organ.
Children, who are prioritised, wait an average of 164 days.
There are currently 6,865 adults and 111 children on the UK waiting list for a kidney transplant.
Today's study, from the UK Renal Registry and NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), based in Bristol, found variations in accessing the list, the time patients had to wait to get on the list, and the time they had to wait for a transplant.
The research, published online in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), studied 16,202 dialysis patients from 65 renal centres across the UK.
Data on the patients, who were all under 65, was submitted to the renal registry between January 2003 and December 2005, with follow-up to December 2008.
The national average percentage of patients registered for a transplant within two years of starting dialysis was 50%.
But the study found this varied from about 25% in some centres to 65% in others.
The research also found 25% of patients on average received a kidney from a person who suffered a cardiac death, or from a living donor, within two years of being on the list.
But this ranged from less than 10% at some centres to above 40% in others.
This kind of transplant is "predominantly locally resourced and allocation of organs is controlled by local centres' policies", the research said.
The study also found significant variation between centres on times for inclusion on the national transplant waiting list.
Time to get on the list is important because patients who are put on earlier tend to receive a transplant quicker than those listed later on.
The study found wide variations in getting on the waiting list depending on age.
Those aged 18 to 29 were most likely to get on the list, with levels falling as patients got older.
People from ethnic minorities were also less likely to get on the list, as were those with diabetes.
While some of this variability may be explained, the authors said "significant inter-centre differences should not exist in the time taken to activate suitable patients for transplantation or in receipt of a transplant once on the waiting list".
Almost a quarter (24%) of patients nationally receive a kidney from a brain dead donor within two years of being registered, but this varied from 6% to 42%.
However, the study noted centres were not to blame for this variability as there is a national allocation policy which determines where these organs go.
There are around twice as many organ transplants from brain dead donors as cardiac death donors each year.
The study found that increasing age, ethnicity and being female negatively affected access to brain dead donors.
The experts concluded: "Significant variation in access to renal transplantation exists between centres within the UK that cannot be explained by differences in case mix.
"Further work needs to be undertaken to understand whether the observed differences in centre performance are due to variations in resource availability or because certain centres have more organised and efficient patient pathways."
James Neuberger, associate medical director of organ donation and transplantation at NHSBT, welcomed the study.
"We encourage renal centres to take note of its findings so as to help bring about further improvement in care, treatment and equity.
"NHSBT is committed to ensuring there is equity of access to transplantation of all organs, regardless of various factors such as the patient's age, gender or ethnicity, and our policies are continuously reviewed to ensure they are appropriate and up-to-date."
Mr Neuberger said there had been a 40% increase in the number of kidney transplants taking place in the UK in the past five years - up from 1,855 in 2005 to 2,599 in 2009.
But he said more needed to be done.
"There is a serious shortage of donated kidneys and other organs for transplantation which leads to around 1,000 deaths every year in the UK of people who are waiting or who become too ill and have to be removed from the list."
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "Patients who need kidney transplants deserve a high quality service and support to help them manage their transplant and achieve the best possible quality of life, regardless of where they live.
"The number of successful kidney transplants is increasing and improvements have been made to the quality of patient care, including establishing a network of donor transplant co-ordinators and appointing clinical leads for organ donation within hospital trusts.
"But we know there is more to do. We want the NHS to use this research to help deliver better access to transplants and further improve the quality of care for kidney patients."

I first learned about this product after watching one of the Pixiwoo (YouTube) sisters, Samantha Chapman, use it first to start off one of their many extremely cool makeup tutorials. She raved about it before at the very beginning of this video:
and then again more recently in her "Simple MakeUp Tutorial" posted 2 weeks ago. In the video I posted above she claimed it gave her pale skin more color, a tiny bit of iridescence or dewiness, simply put, a more healthy glow. It is labeled as a primer but can be used on its own to decrease dullness in your complexion and lift skin quality with extended use. It has Vitamin A and E, antioxidants that aid in promoting healthy, soft skin. It only comes in one color but is labeled No.1 Even Skin. Petra claims further at the back of the package that this product is 20 year old youthful skin in a bottle. I commend her for this wonderful product but I think that was a bit pushing it. I love how this product performs, for me it comes a close 2nd to my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, but that remark was a bit of an exaggeration I believe.
First point of praise, the bottle itself. It comes in a delightfully pretty pinkish copper capped bottle which is made of frosted glass.
It's a tiny bit heavy, but I quite like the bottle in this way because it gives the product inside some sort of value, and my praise doesn't stop at the bottle. Open the cap and lo and behold...
...a pump dispenser! Which is an absolute plus for beauty products like this because you don't get bacteria going back in once you pump an amount like this onto your hand.
The color is a deep pinkish beige that is absolutely sheer when spread and rubbed in. This was where I began to get skeptical. I saw that it was shot through with finely milled gold-ish shimmer, not glitter (thank God), shimmer. You can't see it in this photo, it is very very fine, but it's there alright. This is the agent that supposedly gives your skin that sheen that Sam was talking about in the video. It was more obvious in the product than I expected, to my dismay. So I started to blend it in.
It smells like a very mild sunblock, but don't be fooled, this has no SPF (which is actually too bad, that would have made it a daily must-have), it only boasts of antioxidants and moisturizers that balance hydration in the skin. Then came the part I didn't like, it was somewhat sticky/tacky, just like some moisturizers with SPF are, or rather just like sunblock is. At first I was like ugh, why!? What on earth could Sam be raving about? But I persevered and continued to blend it in on my hand first. I started to remember that this was initially a primer, and primers by definition are supposed to help makeup stay on your face. So for a moment I forgave its sudden stickiness.
Ok, a slight dewy sheen. I wasn't too disappointed. This was what Sam Chapman was talking about. My hand looked less pale. I looked at the inside of my palms which had most of the product on from rubbing it in, they were covered with a satin sheen (that I didn't photograph, how smart) that once again started stirring my doubts. So I tried it on my face and again the somewhat slightly sticky iridescent dewiness got me frustrated. Then a light bulb suddenly went on.
We Filipinos live in a very, very humid country. We have almost double the atmospheric moisture compared to those living in the West. When I stayed with an Aunt of mine in Hamburg, Germany for over two months, the Safeguard soap bar I brought with me from Manila cracked in several places through the middle. My face felt tight around my nose and mouth when I smiled in the morning and my lip would split and bleed. My aunt gave me Nivea cream and told me to use it everyday. That's something we don't need to do here in the tropics. So I understood why Sam Chapman raved about this product, it probably did wonders for her dry skin there. In light of this, I wouldn't recommend this product for oily skin as it might only add excessive shine and stickiness in a climate such as ours. I do recommend it for normal to dry combination skin (though I have yet to meet someone with excessively dry skin from around these parts.)
Still, I wondered, knowing that, how could I make this work for me? Then it dawned on me:
...I dusted my face with Laura Mercier loose translucent setting powder (a luxurious hand-me-down from mom) and suddenly the choir sang HALLELUJAH. I had my FOTD (face of the day). The dewiness of the Pixi primer peeked from beneath the matte veil of the loose setting powder and gave my face a subtle healthy glow. So enough with the hand swatches. The photos above were taken last Sunday, but I didn't have enough time to do a face review that day so I did one tonight. Here are the photos I took just an hour ago. Here's my face before. My before face shot is not totally naked, I needed my dignity, I only put concealer here, mainly on my dark circles which were awful. I used a few finger dabs of Nars stick concealer in custard (another yummy hand-me-down from mom) on my undereye circles, my browbone (it also works as a good cream highlighter), inner eye corners, around my nose and the corners of my mouth. Other than that there's nothing else on my face. I have not used Photoshop on any of my blog photos except for cropping. So no cleanups or color corrections anywhere here. I shoot for quality.
So this is my face before Pixi primer, a bit sallow and pale, and you'll notice my face is a different tone from my body. I'm lying down flat on my bed, it was the only way to get my ceiling light to work with me for the proper exposure:
Get ready for a spot the difference challenge, because the changes are really subtle. Here's my "after" face, with a generous layer of Pixi beauty primer and a quick dusting of loose setting powder, it's a very subtle difference, but I quite like it.
You can see I have a hint more color, like I'm half a shade darker than the photo above and I have a healthy glow across my T-zone and cheeks. It's more obvious in the daytime though, I'll take another comparison with natural light tomorrow. I know you're probably like "What is Julia talking about? There's no difference!" Hahaha, believe me there is, it didn't help that I couldn't take a sharper picture coz my hand kept moving.
Overall this is a wonder find for me, probably because I have the patience to apply powder after. Some of you might not feel the same way about that. I'm telling you though, the combination of this primer plus loose powder or mineral make up is absolutely wonderful. As a plus though, to let you know I've been using it for a week now and my skin surface has evened out, I had rough patches and more whiteheads in some places, and now they're mostly gone and my skin feels happier, must be the vitamins. I'll try to edit the pictures and put them side by side tomorrow, makes it easier to compare. Right now, it's way past my bedtime...again. Ugh, my bad.

Does it deliver? Maybe not.
California Exotics' Universal Douche System is a bulb-type syringe for anal douches/enemas that features two large, interchangeable nozzles and a easy-to-squeeze 8-oz rubber bulb. The nozzles (made of PVC) are flexible and have three small holes at the tips to create a gentle flow of water. Unfortunately, this toy doesn't deliver on its promises. It's difficult to use comfortably.Published:
Flexible nozzles are comfortable and safe. Bulb easy to squeeze.
Difficult to use. Nozzles big for beginners. Hard to clean inside nozzles. Air problems.
Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
While a bulb syringe is nice for quick clean outs, the Universal Douche System has too many annoying design choices for me to use it often. In addition to being hard to clean, it's too slow to fill (very small holes in both the nozzle and bulb - nice to regulate the flow going out but it takes quite a while to fill), and the nozzles make it clumsy. They're too long to comfortably use on the toilet, and the bumps at the end often result in water squirting out of me when I remove them.
I figured that some of the cons might have been related to how I was expecting to use the douche system, but it never got any better, so this product has been relegated to the shelf.

You would think they would do more to make these easier to clean, given their purpose. Thanks for the review
Hmmm sounds like some design flaws. That's a shame! Good review though.
Great review. I always hate to see so many design problems.
Very nice review, thanks!
Great review!
Awesome review!! Ive been looking for a good douche it looks like ill be taking this one off my list due to all the problems, thanks for the insight
I some of the same issues with their other douche...too much air was trapped inside (so not sexy).
Thanks for the review -
Awesome Review!
Great review! Too bad its not that great.
Wow, fantastic review. There's nothing I would want to know that wasn't addressed. It seems strange to me that an anal douche product would be designed so that it was difficult to clean.
Amazing review!! Is there another cleaning product you would recommend?
great review
Booty Bandit - While I haven't tried everything yet, I like the StreemMaster Mini bulb syringe. It's easy to use and clean. I've been bugging Eden to stock it but they haven't yet.
No discussions yet.
Thank you for viewing Universal Douche System – anal kit review page!

Cookbook:Orange Hot Chocolate
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Beverages
Orange Hot Chocolate is a twist on the old childhood favorite. Note that this hot chocolate is not sweet. Those who like it sweeter should use a chocolate with a higher sugar content, or add 1 tablespoon sugar with the chocolate.
- 4 cups milk
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped (can substitute semisweet)
- ½ tsp. orange extract
- ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
Serves 4.
- Place the milk and cinnamon in a saucepan, and gently heat to just below a simmer, about 180 °F.
- Add the chocolate, and stir while allowing to melt. Do not allow to come to a boil.
- When the chocolate has melted, strain the chocolate milk into another container, add the extracts, and whisk or blend until frothy. Transfer to mugs or heatproof glasses and serve.

Here's a useful observation related to the use of K-means together with the Pearson correlation distance (© Alex).
The standard K-means update step, where you update the cluster centers by taking the means of the corresponding points is technically not very appropriate in the case of the correlation distance d(x, y) = 1 - corr(x, y). The proper step would be to take the sum of the normalized points as the new cluster center:
c = sumi(xi/|xi|)
Latent Process Decomposition might be one interesting unsupervised analysis approach to try on the FunGenES data. The thing is something like clustering with a model which is slightly more sophisticated than the traditional "mixture". The authors kindly provide the code and some impressive examples of successful application of the method in their paper, so although the conceptual part of the algorithm is heavily mathematical, it might be possible to just try running it on the data with a reasonably small effort.
Some things may take years to have them figured out. It is when someone shows you a definition of some "basic" mathematical object, but does not say why is this defined this way and how should it be interpreted. Moreover, you won't find the answer to your "why" and "how" questions so easily either because they are "so simple" that noone cares to tell, or simply because noone cares. Some time passes and you forget your desire to find out the meaning and just get used to the definition.
For example, it took me some months after I first heard the definition of matrix multiplication to understand why was it defined precisely like that. Same with the notion of a "determinant". Same with pretty much any other university's first-year mathematical object. The problem is probably in the fact that many of our math courses are "definition-based", not "intuition-based", but anyway, that's not the subject of this post.
Last year, in the end of October, we attended the school Analysis of patterns in Sicily. There were several interesting new things that I personally took home with me from this event, but the thing that probably provided most food for thought for me was the notion of "multiple hypothesis testing". I've been long willing to write something down on this topic, but it's only now that I've found the time and desire to do it. Note that I haven't yet taken the trouble of reading some more in-depth literature about this, so all that goes next is not necessarily flawless, but here we go.

Good Advice About Video Game Cheat Codes
Published 13 May 2015
Most people today played video games as kids. Games keep getting more complex and interactive and people spend more time playing them. Video games are becoming a part of everyday life and more popular, as well.
Switch subtitles on. Do you find dialogue hard to hear because of the music, special effects and other game components? Check for the subtitle option on the game's option menu. A lot of video games can be tweaked to have louder or softer sounds in the menu. Here, you can find the option to either enable or disable subtitles.
Learn the different game ratings. In the past, games were thought of as a toy for kids. Today, many are marketed to adults and are not considered appropriate for children. Each game is marked with a rating, based on age, and ranges from Early Childhood (Ages 3+) up to Adults Only (Ages 18+). When the game is for a child, check the rating and select your games with caution.
Purchase used games to save money. Brand new video games usually cost a lot of money, oftentimes as much as $50! Spending a lot of money on a game you may not play a lot is a waste. If you buy used, you may be able to get 25 percent to 50 percent off of a game that you are interested in.
If your child gets a game as a gift or if you are buying a gift, make sure to verify its ESRB rating. Not every child should be playing every game; ESRB ratings can help you as you pick out which ones to purchase. It will allow you to figure out if this is a good purchase or not for the person getting it.
For PC gamers, it is important to find out if a game will run on your system most reliable fifa 15 coins. There are various websites that can determine if your computer's specifications can meet the needs of the game. Following downloads, the page helps determine whether you have met the game's requirements. When you don't want this program to linger on your computer, just delete it once done.
Illuminate the screen. This is especially important if the game has dark areas such as caverns or abandoned buildings. Sometimes, bright colors will prevent you from seeing one of your opponents. Adding brightness might alter the mood just a bit, but it can improve your play. It will make the colors easier to distinguish and you'll be able to spot your enemies before they spot you.
Parents must review the ESRB rating assigned to games at all times. A lot of games seem to be appropriate for children because of the name and design, but they can turn out to be very violent. Check both the rating and what has qualified it for that rating, such as language or violence, and buy accordingly.
Turn off chatting capabilities on games for kids that are young. Children under the age of ten don't really need to chat. Avoid purchasing games that don't allow you to disable chat. Take the time to talk to a sales clerk or check out online reviews to confirm that the feature can be removed.
Be aware of the hidden dangers of online gaming. Sometimes, online games can involve a steep fee for playing. If your children wish to join a gaming site, check it out yourself first. Check the costs and decide if it is worth it.
In today's online video game world there are many choices that offered such as earning rewards to put towards new purchases or even money you can apply towards your next game purchase. Look over all the benefits that are being offered before you make a purchase. Such purchases may only provide limited in-game benefits. Purchased items are a quick way to get to levels that may take massive amounts of time otherwise.
Learn how to adjust the settings for safety and content on the video game consoles you own. There are usually settings that can stop younger audiences from viewing inappropriate content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.
Video games are a thing of the past, present, and future. The evolution of gaming has come a long way. A person can't help but think of where gaming will go in the future. It will be exciting because you do not know what games will come out next.

The Mountaintop: The Last Night of Dr. Martin Luther King in a Memphis Hotel Room
Joaquina Kalukango as Comae and Bowman Wright as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr in a shape shifter of a play
Photo courtesy of Alley Theatre
Check out our interview with director Robert O'Hara.
The set-up: It is April 3, 1968, the night before Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is assassinated, and Dr. King is staying at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. An attractive black maid brings him coffee, and they discuss a variety of topics. There is more, a lot more, as the young black playwright Katori Hall serves up a chameleon of a play, a shape-shifter, changing not only its color but its very identity. Perhaps most surprisingly, the play is primarily a romantic comedy.
The execution: The maid, Comae, is feisty, quick-witted, attractive, and "built". The last adjective is not a case of male chauvinism objectifying a woman, but highly relevant - the FBI had tapped Dr. King's phone calls and released tapes suggesting he was a lusty womanizer. With that public knowledge, the situation is suggestive, and the interchange and especially the body language of the characters become a pas de deux, as we wonder: will they get it on?
Cigarettes are smoked, and shared, drinks are consumed, and shared, Comae starts to leave several times but never does (a standard device in plays with just two characters), and a connection develops between Dr. King and Comae. This section, the first half of the intermission-less play, is very funny indeed. Dr. King is portrayed as more of an everyman than an heroic, epic figure, and the result predictably is to reduce his stature. Since Comae has all the best lines, she is more interesting than he, and as I began to wonder what was up, with this curious balance, the question was answered in a most surprising fashion.

Playwright Hall, having demonstrated a capacity for naturalistic comic dialogue, even though one-sided, suddenly shifts gears and moves us into the arena of magic realism. The segue is handled smoothly, aided by sound effects and some striking lighting, and I happily went along with it - the precise nature of what happened will not be revealed by me, but the play becomes a drama of desperation. To her eternal credit, even here Hall cannot help herself, and provides some simply wonderful laugh lines. Brava!
The third section was the least satisfactory, an epilogue involving video montages, and skirting the shoals of moralizing, and the play might be stronger without it. Comae is played by Joaquina Kalukango and she is brilliant, with a commanding stage presence, an easy poise, great timing in delivering lines, and she even makes slouching in a chair mesmerizing. It's hard to see how the role could be played better. Bowman Wright portrays Dr. King and is excellent. That we see just the human side and not the heroic capacity is due to the playwright, not the actor.
The set is the interior of room 306, where Dr. King stayed when in Memphis, and the interior has the mundane sameness that motel rooms have, while the exterior matches the actual Lorraine motel, including its color, its balcony and metal railings, thanks to designer Clint Ramos. Some special lighting effects by Japhy Weideman are both fascinating and beautiful, and highly effective in making the sudden dramatic change in tone palatable. The play is directed by Robert O'Hara, and he is skillful in generating action within the confines of a motel room and just two characters. Playwright Katori Hall here reveals a rare comic gift for dialogue, and shows the courage of a lioness in breaking theatrical traditions, and succeeding. The Mountaintop was first produced in London and received the Olivier award as Best New Play.
The verdict: Two skilled actors keep interest alive and treat the audience first to humorous banter, and then to highly-charged drama as the situation turns serious, resulting in a strange hybrid of a play, but one which succeeds in both of its endeavors.
The Mountaintop continues through February 3, at the Alley Theatre, 615 Texas St. For information or ticketing, call 713-220-5700 or visit the theater's website.

Ceiling Repair in Smithville, TX
Catstrong Restoration employs several techniques to restore damaged sheetrock. The most ideal option is directly related to the degree of the damage (small or large area) and location ( ceiling or wall ).
Repair Option 1: Self-Adhesive Mesh Drywall Patch
Drywall patches are typically available at home improvement stores that comprise of a skinny metal mesh with a sticky backing. The metal mesh offers support for the drywall drywall mud. The patch is stuck over the hole, drywall mud, sand and paint. Self-adhesive metal patches perform best on wall surfaces and modest holes, but commonly droop when used on ceilings. Catstrong restoration therefore chose not to use a metal repair patch.
Repair Option 2: Cut Out and Replace with New Drywall
The most suitable way to repair the roughly 6 ″ by 6 ″ area of damaged drywall ceiling is to cut out the region and replace it with a new section of drywall by installing a wood support frame, tape the joints, apply joint compound, sand and paint. Some of the most difficult part was working on the extension ladder to reach the high ceiling.

The problem with Options 1 and 2 are if the leak were to happen in the future, you'll be redoing the ceiling repairs. Depending upon the nature of the leak, it may be needed to cut an opening in the ceiling to repair the plumbing. CatStrong Restoration has utilized bauco drywall access panels.

Got the Bose and Symphony setup, and got a few questions about the spec... Are the front and rear speakers externally amplified? If so what are the specs of the amp? Is it possible to upgrade the amplifier without rewiring or does that require new power/earth/speaker wiring? If i did change to an aftermarket setup how hard would it be to return to standard if i decide to sell? Thanks!
Yes the Bose system in the A3/S3 8L is fully amped. There is a puny 4 x 25w amp in the righthand cubbyhole in the boot which powers the cabin speakers and a 1 x 100w amp (the size of a fag packet) inside the tupperware sub powering the sub. All the speakers are 2 ohm impedance and sound pretty awful if used with an aftermarket amp as the Bose amp has it's own EQ tuned to the wierdness of the Bose speakers. All the Bose speakers are 4" units and the tweeters in the front are just the standard Nokia/Isophon **** you get in the non Bose setup. Really depends what you want by upgrading. The best single upgrade is to upgrade the sub and leave everything else, otherwise you're looking at replacing the amp and all the speakers and you'll still be left with the rumbling woolliness of the Bose sub. If you add a proper sub (or one of my stealth subs) then you can take down the bass on the HU and release the cabin speakers from trying to handle any significant bass which is a big improvement in itself. If you get the chance take off a rear speaker panel and have a look at the shyte they've got the nerve to call a rear speaker, it looks like something out of a pre-war valve radio.

I don't think so, what happened was just a way to end the match....
We may only see him on tonight's RAW and then he will disappear for ever....
You know the guy who played the ref last night. Probably not and I'm kind of glad as the WWE needs to sweep that ending under the rug. Lame, lame, LAME!
But it is a possibility so discuss
I don't think so, what happened was just a way to end the match....
We may only see him on tonight's RAW and then he will disappear for ever....
I hope for his sake this wasn't the last we'll see of him. Brad was actually a pretty good wrestler from what i saw in FCW, although he is a bit small, like Daniel Bryan size. At any rate, he's been with WWE for a couple years now, and it would be quite the downer for his career if this was to be the culmination of his WWE career.
Dirty refs can be fun, I loved Nick Patrick as the nWos ref.
He will definitely remain a character some how or some way
Maddox was a wrestler, not just a ref. I could see him being an actual Superstar one day in good time. So yeah, I think his character will evolve.
I don't know about that. The wrestlers who become refs were usually crappy wrestlers. You need to be tough to be a successful wrestler, but the wrestlers who become refs do so after learning that they are easily knocked unconscious. You can't make it as a wrestler if you're knocked out by a shoulder tackle.
Yeah, I see him reffing the Elimination Match at Survivor Series.
Come on, this is the company that's letting a stalker who fires people for winning matches run their main brand, of course they'd let Brad ref another high profile match.
Don't worry, he's only making PW great againOriginally Posted by TJ Wyoming
If WWE wasn't going to use him, then they wouldn't have mentioned him by name numerous times.
WWE did say he was just a short term fix for the HITC main event. But he's in the mix now, might as well use him for something else.
I for one can't stand him. He comes off to me as your standard tool. He reminds me of a Cody Rhodes/Alex Riley starting out kind of look without all of the talent and potential to go with it. Rhodes went on to bigger and better things. Riley is buried and in the WWE doghouse for making a rib by John Cena into something personal. Brad Maddox or Mad-OX as Paul Heyman calls him I see no potential in.
( ಠ_ಠ) - 97% of PW suddenly think Michael Cole is awesome. If you're part of the 3% that still thinks he is an annoying tool, copy & paste this into your sig.

Breast Ironing: How do we stop the mutilation?
About the time I think I've heard it all in terms of the atrocities humans commit against each other, a new one comes to my attention. Most recently, it's the practice of 'breast ironing'.
Breast ironing is being performed by mother's of pre-pubescent girls to keep their breasts from developing in an attempt to make the girl less desirable to males. If their daughter become pregnant, not only will she not be able to further her education, but most likely the mother of the pre-teen or teenaged daughter will have the added responsibility of caring for the new infant.
The practice is being carried out in Cameroon, as well as other parts of Africa. What lengths these mothers go to in order to prevent the harassment and rape of their daughters!
As with most atrocities, awareness, education, offering alternatives seem to be key ways to change rituals, or antique and out dated thinking.
What are ways the United States can help in these situations? How strongly should we make 'our' belief system 'their' belief system?
Items used for breast ironing include: hammers, bananas, coconut shells, ladles, and grinding stones. The object of choice is heated over a fire and then either held against the budding breasts, or the breasts are struck with the heated object. Apparently, one in four girls is a victim of this practice.
Mel Briscoe 6 years, 6 months ago
wow! quite odd! i knew about female genital mutilation (and how it is performed still in some parts of africa, india and the middle east), and that is atrocious beyond words! but now this? sad and weird at the same time.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
I agree, it was news to me. From what I gathered from reading more about this topic, it is in part being done because are going through puberty at younger ages. This prevents them from being seen as sexual beings by males. I believe this seems to be the case worldwide. (the puberty issue -not the abuse)
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
I wonder how the female takes it out without getting injured and how periods, etc. work around it.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
The mutilation aspect worked in the sense that the breasts didn't develop normally, or were unsightly and deformed. As we know, rape is about so many other things besides attraction, though.
The practice of raping a virgin with the belief that it cures the rapist's AIDs likely isn't prevented by looks or lack of breasts. It seems in that case, the person is striving for very young girls to make sure they are virgins.
I didn't see any statistics on how it affects the girl later in life in terms of breast feeding an infant. I'm making the assumption the woman is nervous in future attempts of having her breasts touched.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
No daughters, sisters, mother, aunts, grandmother, female friends, wife, etc., that you can empathize with?
Danimal 6 years, 6 months ago
There are a lot of crazy things that happen in Africa. Seriously, penis theft, breast ironing and about a thousand other ways that they do to mutilate and disfigure one another. In fairness to them you hear about crazy stuff like this in the States once in a while; but in fairness to us it's usually just one or a few individuals and not a cultural trend.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
You make some good points, Danimal, but what about our cultural tradition of circumcision?
Many countries find it to be a horrific practice. There really are no reasons to cut off the foreskin of the penis in this era of readily available sanitation and cleanliness.
I'm sure there are numerous cases where the procedure causes discomfort and infection. It also decreases the sensitivity of the penis during intercourse.
denak 6 years, 6 months ago
Actually Ronda, there is a great deal of research that shows male circumcision to be a positive thing for male babies. (Adult males are a difference story). It can not be put on the same level as "female circumcision." However, it might all be a moot point because male circumcision has dramatically dropped in the last 10 years in this country because it is being dropped by insurance companies and due to the influx of Hispanic and European immigrants who do not generally circumcise their males.
As for breast ironing, if we want the women of Africa to stop this horrific practice, we need to get rid of the fear. What is seen as barbaric to the West is a defensive strategy for them. To them, it would be crazy to not do this. The only way the US could combat this is to educate as much as possible, and to financially support organizations that give micro-loans to these women. There has been great success in other countries with giving small loans to women so that they can become more financially independent. And they have a higher rate of repayment than men.
So, unless there is a concerted effort to educate both genders but also to give these women the means to work.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
Dena, while I agree education will greatly benefit both sexes, I'm not sure how giving financial assistant to the females will stop the rape of their daughters.
It will put everyone on a more common economic level, but the legal system needs to change to make power equal too in how it is represented by enforcement. This sounds like a long term project. It's difficult to dispell myths.
Ron Holzwarth 6 years, 6 months ago
"there is a great deal of research that shows male circumcision to be a positive thing for male babies."
Yes, that is certainly true if you consider penile cancer and horrific and very painful infections to be a bad thing.
The almost universal custom of male circumcision in the United States became the norm only after WW1, after a very large number of men suffered horrific infections "down there" after fighting in the dampness of the trenches.
Also, some time back I was privy to a couple of CNAs talking about cleaning older men that were uncirumscised, and they sure thought it was disgusting.
Once you are no longer able to care for yourself, it's necessary for someone else to do it for you,,,
RoeDapple 6 years, 6 months ago
A German study of women 10 to 82, (over 5000) indicated 1 in 4 have been subjected to this. If a doctor determines permanent damage has occurred the person(s) responsible can go to prison for up to three years. As in nearly all third world countries, these young women rarely see a doctor.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
Yes, as noted in the last sentence of my blog, it is done on the average to one in four girls. I understood this to be a relatively new practice so your study that includes women aged 80 surprises me. I wonder if those women also had this done to them, or if there is a much higher incidence if only those woman under thirty are counted.
I also assumed this happens in more rural places such as villages where people may be less well educated.
One film I watched showed a mother talking about how she did this to her daughter a couple of times daily for a month. Talk about child abuse!
Fixed_Asset 6 years, 6 months ago
"How strongly should we make 'our' belief system 'their' belief system?"
Oh, dear, your ethnocentrism is showing.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
Nope, just a question. One is still allowed to question, eh?
No, not 'the iron. Please, no, not 'the iron. Seriously, how far do we ever go or feel the need to go to protect others with varied beliefs? The aliens haven't stepped in on planet Earth. Are they amused, or horrified? Oops, there I go again.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
I'm with you, I'd never heard of it before and humans go to extreme lengths for health and vanity. About anything is possible and wouldn't surprise me too much. Well, this actually did.
bearded_gnome 6 years, 6 months ago
well Ronda,
to be fair, many africans look on us as just as barbaric.
we glamorize malnutritioned thinness. our women walk around in 'high heels.'
our women typically do not give birth in the presence of extended family. our women choose for themselves whom they will marry (yes, to some that looks insane).
just to name a few.
as I read your blog posting, I am far more concerned about the problem that these mothers are trying to prevent.
obviously this problem of rape and pregnancy for too young girls must be a serious problem for these mothers to resort to this practice!
and beliefs about AIDS are all over the map (so tospeak) in africa.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
Gnome, your points are well made. We've flattened and strapped our breasts for 'the sake of 'beauty'.

Liberty, you're 'the first to address the issue of who are we to step in and tell another culture their belief system is wrong. Are you saying that America is capable of minding their own business?
And I agree, gnome. How horrible for the mothers to feel they have no alternative in order to save their daughters and make a better life fir themselves.

I agree on all counts of what you've mentioned. We've intervened and caused a worse outcome for those involved too many times. I think we can fairly mention Iraq in this context too. America often means well, but we are going in with our ideals and objectives as we know things to be from within our societal perceptions.
It's a very difficult call. I'd just written a poem about Anne Frank and the tree outside her window as the world -watching and doing nothing. If we can't do it right, if we can't stay in to see the outcome, should we intercede? Do we have 'the right to? Do we have the right not too. It's an endless question.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
There are certainly those who believe that to be the case. Is that a political mindset - theme? Are Democrats or Republicans more likely to hold that belief system, or is it a Christian belief system?

These women are desperate to protect their children from being abused and raped by making them less desirable. If we do anything, we need to stop the abuse from happening by educating the men and the governments to prevent it from happening.
It sounds very painful, but some women will do anything to protect their children, without thinking of future consequences.

If I were a mom living in Africa, I'd be tempted to find out on any male who approached my daughter. It might keep male testicals from budding too. My bad. :(

As awful as it sounds, I'm not sure it's our place to try and stop something going on in someone else's country. Often times interfering ends up creating more problems than it cures.

Gnome, your points are well made. We've flattened and strapped our breasts for 'the sake of 'beauty'.

[for full disclosure, I do not shave.]
yes, we do a lot of dumb stuff to our own bodies here in the U.S.A.

And we're often doing them towards the objective to be attractive to the opposite sex instead of preventing it. Somethings wrong here.

Different cultures at different times are so very strange and so very different.
Just a couple days ago, I watched a movie, 'Thoroughly Modern Millie', which was set in 1922, when a flat chested woman was considered attractive becauise a flat chested woman's long beads hung "correctly".
I wonder, how many of our present notions of attractiveness will not stand the test of time?
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
I'm hoping several of them won't! I do wonder why our 'modern' civilization is trending towards the supposedly uncivilized ones in terms of piercings, etc.
I do think some of the African painting of faces and bodies for ritualistic dancing very attractive. Maybe that will catch on here.
One of the more interesting trends, in my opinion, is the large hole in the earlobes. Most women I know are trying to get that fixed. I've been seated behind people in movie theaters where I've been able to watch the flick through the hole in their ear. I'm not complaining -it's actually fascinating to me. (To my own children -'no, I'm not saying I want you to do this and I will not pay for it).

We do breast mutilations here in the USA on a regular basis and the practice is wide spread. We take young women and make incisions in the bottom of thier breasts and insert blobs of silicone into them and sew them back up leaving the silicone there. Maybe the Africans should come over here and stop us from this barbaric practice.
Ronda Miller 6 years, 6 months ago
You are absolutely correct and they pay top dollar to have it done!
I've also heard there are people who have the fat sucked out of one area of their bodies and shot into another place. And those who have incisions made in their scalp and loose skin pulled up over their skull. Goodness, we are a strange culture. We don't even do it to save ourselves from rape. We do it to ourselves to look better.
And we wonder why aliens don't bother with 'us'. :)

Itching to know
Mutts turn mangy. Kittens' chins break out in pimples. Dogs pepper the rug with dandruff. Cats scratch themselves at a feverish pitch.
Our pets are susceptible to hundreds of bacterial and fungal infections, parasites and autoimmune disorders of the skin—ranging from the merely annoying to the downright deadly. So it's no wonder that dermatological issues are the number one reason that dogs and cats end up at the vet.
"The skin is an organ we can see," says Lluis Ferrer, who oversees the veterinary dermatology service at Tufts. So although you can't tell whether your dog has a headache or tightness in the chest, an itch that won't quit is easy to spot. "If your cat has a growth on her face, you are going to notice that immediately, versus a growth on her pancreas, which you won't be aware of until after it starts causing some serious problems," says Ferrer.
Owners often worry that a pet's skin condition might be contagious—and rightly so, in some cases. You can get ringworm, an itchy fungal infection, from your cat.
The bottom line is that healthy skin is important to your pet's well-being. Essentially an envelope for the body, the skin keeps good things in (water and electrolytes) and bad things out (toxins, germs and UV rays from the sun). It also helps your pet maintain a healthy body temperature by regulating blood supply and sweat gland function.
When it comes to all things lumpy, bumpy, red and spotty, pet owners often assume a veterinarian will be able to diagnose a skin disease just by looking at it. Not so, says Ferrer, who goes beyond skin deep to try to identify the molecular causes of many dermatological conditions—from why Shar-Peis' skin is wrinkled and prone to chronic infections to why certain dogs die from infestations of the typically harmless parasitic mites known as Demodex, which live in the hair follicles of most mammals, including humans.
Finding the cause
Despite the mind-boggling number and diversity of dermatological problems in animals, the skin has a limited repertoire of signals—itching, hair loss, bumps and scales—to give owners and veterinarians clues into what's going on. Getting to the right diagnosis is important.
"First, we want to make sure it's not something that can be easily treated," says Andrea Lam, a board-certified veterinary dermatologist who works with Ferrer at Tufts' Foster Hospital for Small Animals and at the Tufts VETS clinic in Walpole, Mass.
Fleas and other contagious parasites—such as sarcoptic mange mites, which a dog can pick up if coyotes and foxes live nearby—are common and easily treatable causes of extreme itchiness and hair loss. A bacterial or yeast infection can be cured with antibiotics or antifungal drugs.
To diagnose an infection, a veterinarian presses a glass slide directly onto a lesion or sticks a piece of tape to the affected area. "Then we can look at it under a microscope in the exam room and show the owner the yeast or bacteria right there on the spot," says Lam.
By far, the most common cause of skin infections in otherwise healthy animals is allergies, which can morph that body-protecting envelope into a sieve.
"If you think about your skin, its structure is like a brick wall—nothing penetrates it," says Lam. "But an allergic dog has skin that's more like a crumbly stone wall. There are all these tiny gaps where environmental allergens like dust or mold can seep through and cause an inflammatory reaction." The warmth of inflamed skin creates the perfect breeding environment for the normal supply of yeast and bacteria living on the skin to multiply, she says.
Allergies just like ours
Although there is little research data on pet allergies for comparison, it appears that atopic dermatitis—a.k.a. eczema, the itchy, scaly skin caused by allergies—is far more prevalent in dogs and cats than it was a few decades ago, according to Ferrer.
"The situation is similar to that in children," says Ferrer, who notes that as many as 10 percent of all dogs and between 10 and 15 percent of children suffer from atopic dermatitis.
It is not known why more pets (and kids) have allergies. One explanation, Ferrer says, is the "hygiene hypothesis," which suggests that Western society's obsession with disinfecting every surface in sight has made animals' immune systems hypersensitive to foods and other allergens. Other suspects include environmental and chemical pollution, which may harm the immune system, and genetic changes that have occurred over generations.
Dogs with allergies can suffer from chronic ear infections, chew their paws or scratch themselves frequently. In addition to these symptoms, a cat with allergies might groom itself obsessively—sometimes to the point of total hair loss—or have raw, scaly patches in one area of the body. "Sometimes cats with allergies only develop lesions at the base of their tongues," says Lam, "so you might not notice the lesions if they don't interfere with the cat eating."
Because dogs and cats can be allergic to many things, identifying the culprit requires time and a bit of trial and error. Until an allergen is confirmed, your veterinarian may recommend antihistamines, such topical treatments as shampoos and sprays and even steroids to keep your pet comfortable.
To discover what's causing an allergic reaction, veterinarians generally start by putting the pet on a strict diet for two months. "If your immune system has never encountered something, it can't have an allergic reaction to it," says Lam. "So our goal is to take away all the most common food allergens—protein sources like beef, chicken and soy—and replace these with special foods made with protein sources your pet has likely never eaten, such as venison, rabbit or kangaroo."
If a pet's symptoms diminish, the owner is instructed to give the pet its old food once more to see whether symptoms get worse. "Animals with food allergies will have a reaction within days, sometimes within hours," Lam says.
If the dietary regimen doesn't work, the next target is environmental allergies. Tufts veterinary dermatologists perform a blood test in combination with a skin allergy test, which is similar to the prick test for people suspected of having allergies.
Managing an environmental allergy in pets is usually not possible with lifestyle changes alone, says Lam. "Tree, weed and grass pollen can blow in from far away. It doesn't matter what's in your yard, or if you keep your dog inside. Every time you open a window or the door, those pollens will get in your house," she says. "Some pets are allergic to house dust or house dust mites. You can vacuum a lot, but it won't be enough to fix the problem."
"And if you are a really unlucky dog, you might be allergic to people," notes Lam. "Just like some people are allergic to dogs and cats, they can be allergic to us, too."
Lam says that roughly 25 percent of her patients with environmental allergies test positive for an allergy to human dander. Unlike people with pet allergies, dog and cats typically do not experience respiratory problems as a result of human dander, but they can become extremely itchy and develop secondary infections just by being around us.
Fortunately, your veterinarian will never tell your dog or cat to find you a new home. Instead, a vet can develop an immunotherapy regimen for your pet's most serious allergens. Administered as a series of injections over many months, these allergy shots contain minute diluted amounts of substances to which your pet is allergic.
"Each pet has a totally customized plan," says Lam, noting that immunotherapy improves symptoms in about 70 percent of cases. "If a client is very lucky, the pet will improve in the first three months, but results can take a full year," she says. However, most owners say their pets' comfort outweighs the lengthy treatment.
"I have a cat that's allergic to chicken and a few other foods," Lam says. "If she eats something she's not supposed to, within hours, she'll turn bright red and start licking herself obsessively," she says. "So I really feel for clients with itchy pets."

It took some research, viewing various places and participating on forums over at least a couple of months, reading various subjects, what staff of various hosts where saying etc.
Once I had a more informed opinion I saw some good hosts including Dailyrazor and this one I chose; their bandwidth is good. As for the support, if something goes wrong they usually respond within several hours and check to see if the problem has been fixed to your satisfaction.
Uptime is good. And I have never had a problem using their control panel.
I can also add that it supports virtually all web development technologies on its hosting servers.
Given their recent upgrades and expanded offerings I see no reason I would ever go anywhere else.
Overall, Dailyrazor hosting is amazing!

Pooping after spay
I'm a little worried, Sophie hasn't pooped yet. She's eating and drinking fine, no vomiting, and has peed twice. She's mostly just sleeps in her little bed by me. I'm worried that she can't poop or that it hurts too much to poop. Should I call her vet in the morning?

After surgery (especially any abdominal/pelvic surgery), it's extremely common to have your normal bowel activity to slow down. As long as she is not vomiting, eating fine, I wouldn't worry about the lack of a stool. As she feels better and moves around more, her bowels should pick back up. I'm glad she is doing well overall she's such a good girl

Glad Sophie's (love her name) spay is over and all went well ...she is just a precious little girl. I am not sure how often this is done as I have not asked my reg Vet about it. But I just remembered when Sammie had ortho surgery the surgeon told me afterwards he might not go right away for various reasons like Marisa said, and he had a little tube inserted during surgery. Well, I asked more details and glad I did because he didn't go for few days. She said (if they begin to lose stool during surgery or some Vets will go ahead and insert one before in case) dogs receive a little enema or a tiny tube is left in the rectum during surgery. So this can clean them out more. So with him took several days for a bowel movement after his surgery.

If you are worried, please at least call your vet. This is what they are there for, especially after your little one went through surgery I assume, like Marisa and Kandis said that after surgery it can take a while. And that as long as no vomiting is occurring and she is eating she is okay I'd also suggest watching her abdomen... if it gets puffy or hard - that could be a sign of her not being able to go... I'm sure I'll be wondering these things in a few days.... I hope Sophie poops soon. I know with Grace I'll be giving her a few tsp of Pediasure to help with her poop. She has problems with constipation as it is, and that's a remedy we use to help. But ask your vet first....

Agree with all. Our vet told us Gustave might not poop for 36 hours. But he said if it goes on for longer that we needed to call them.
Still, I would call so your mind is at ease. Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

LOL about Lisi!
Any time you have any concerns, just phone your vet. That is what they are there for, particularly after surgery. I expect she'll start going again soon but talking to your vet can reassure you. He may suggest giving her something mild to get things moving along again. |

Leila was spayed on Thursday a week ago and it wasn't until late Friday afternoon until she pooped...or was it Saturday? I can't believe I forgot exactly already! Anyway, the vet said that was normal. She had peed once the night of the spay before I went to bed.

I was worried and called and they kept saying if he isn't throwing up, and is peeing give it anoooother day. I had to remember he was not eating yet if anything not much, so he slowed way down. This was my first time dealing with a surgery, and I guess it can take a while. Well, that went on seemed a long time, and he finally went. It's nerve racking sometimes though.

I think no matter how many times you go through it, it is unnerving! They are our babies and each are so different.... really praying Grace doesn't give me any scares. Ashley - any poop yet?

However, quite understandably, there are only limited numbers of tickets per head available, and so Corinna and Olivia's father are in Portsmouth, while I will stay at home and cheer from the comfort of my study! However, I cannot tell you all how much I wish that I could have been there in person.

Want to know more about wildlife and nature conservation in Croydon?
Where to go? What to see?
Want to join a local group and get involved in a nature reserve or park near you?
Then this is the site for you!
Green Croydon leaflet (updated 2012, reprinted 2014)
To assist and inspire people to go and explore nature in the borough, a borough information leaflet has been produced showing those open spaces which give Croydon that green feeling. In addition to the A2 size map, the leaflet provides information about what to see when visiting the green places, why they are important for nature conservation and where to find more information about guided walks, events, nature trails and volunteering. The free leaflet, updated in 2012, reprinted in 2014, and supported through a £6,000 grant from the Big Lottery Fund, is available from Croydon libraries, Croydon's Visitor Information Centre (1-3 Station Approach, Central Croydon, Croydon, CR0 1LF) and from Access Croydon (Bernard Weatherill House, 8, Mint Walk, Croydon) or contact the Community Partnership Officer at Croydon Council by e-mailing email@example.com or calling 020 8726 6900.
Click leaflet below for more information. Click map below to use the interactive map.
ACCS is an umbrella group for organisations concerned with nature conservation in Croydon. Formed around 30 years ago it represents the interests of our member groups on nature conservation, wildlife habitats and open space issues. We provide a forum within which our groups can share matters of concern or obtain advice and assistance. We monitor, examine and comment upon town planning policies and proposals as well as planning applications that affect open space or nature conservation. The expertise and knowledge of our members provides a vital pool of information that can be used to obtain a picture of what is or what might be happening within Croydon to sites of interest to us.
GROUP MEMBERS - Our member organisations hope that this website will help you to appreciate Croydon's Countryside and the nature conservation work that is carried out by volunteers in Croydon's Green Open Spaces. It may also encourage you to join in – either by joining a guided walk or becoming a volunteer. There may well be a site near you that would welcome your help. Nature conservation work is a good way of enjoying the open air and the world around you by keeping fit and meeting new people or even helping with surveys, computers or paperwork.
Some of our groups work in partnership with Croydon Council and receive support from the Community Partnership Officer. Others work independently or in association with other organisations such as the City of London or the Surrey and London Wildlife Trusts. ACCS brings all these groups together to discuss areas of common interest. Over the years ACCS members have been involved in Agenda 21, the Nature Conservation Consultative Panel, the Unitary Development Plan, the Green Link Forum, and more recently the Core Strategy, the Croydon Biodiversity Action Plan, and the Green Grid. It has also carried out surveys such as the Garden Wildlife Survey and mapping heather areas in Croydon. Go to our Resources page for more information and data relating to the London Borough of Croydon.
