Anybody else still feel like with a young quarterback it's best to be bringing along a young receiver to complement him as well. I mean we're talking about Tannerhill being our QB down the line. So are we forever bringing in vets to complement him? Where's our practice squad with young reciever talent waiting for their turn?
I gotta agree with some of the earlier posters. Wallace is going to get overpaid...no doubt about it. But I would rather overpay for a guy like Wallace who can change the dynamic of an offense that pay 5 mil per to a bunch of average joes like Richard Marshall. Give me two or 3 impact players rather than 5-6 mediocre players.
As for Wallace disappointing in the more possession passing game last year, all the Steelers wide receivers disappointed in that system and Wallace was the only receiver to go over 100 yards in any game. Which he did twice.
And I am not a Ireland person. I just understood that once he drafted Tannehill he wasn't going anywhere, like the echo chamber here thought. He knows as well as we do, that his tenure in MIA rides on what he brings into MIA this year.
He offered a hefty contract to Flynn, who is apparently so horrible that only 1 other team wanted him.
He did refuse to give a second round pick for Kolb. So, because of that, should we go ahead and build a statue for Ireland? I mean, he did use that second round pick productively, Daniel Thomas is certainly tearing up the league.

A member of the Cucurbitaceae family (pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelon, and gourds), Gynostemma Pentaphyllum is a perennial vine that is native to the Asian continent, including China and Japan. It is best known for its use as a traditional Chinese herb used for medicinal purposes. Gynostemma Pentaphyllum is the botanical name for Jiaogulan, which is also known as Sweet Tea Vine, Jiaogulan, or Southern Ginseng.
Grown in open forests and/or mountain slopes throughout China and Japan, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum is also commonly found in cultivated beds. Gynostemma Pentaphyllum grows in alkaline, acidic, and neutral soils, preferring ground that drains well such as those offering sandy, clay, or loamy compositions. Growing conditions need to include lots of sun and moisture in addition to warmth as the plant does not tolerate cold weather well. This creeping vine is pollinated through insect activity.
The green leaves are edible and provide a sweet taste when ingested. For centuries, the Chinese have chewed the Jiaogulan leaves to enhance their health and promote longevity. In fact, this herb is commonly referred to as the immortality herb" in China. The leaves are often used to make a tea that is considered to offer special health benefits that can promote a long life. The entire plant has been used as a tonic herb for the medicinal purposes

India needs a strong dose of pharma regulation
India's top drug regulatory body, the Central Drug Standard Control Organization (CDSO) is literally facing the heat, this summer. In May, the CDSO came under fire with serious allegations of corruption, and collusion with big pharma, leveled against it. It was made public by a parliamentary panel report released on May 8, 2012. The parliamentary committee report revealed that a number of drugs were approved for sale, in India, without undergoing the mandatory procedure of clinical trial. This was in spite of the fact that these drugs were banned in the US and Europe because of adverse events. These findings were based on the investigation of 42 approvals by the agency between 2004 and 2010. Of these, shockingly, 31 new drugs were approved without conducting clinical trials on Indian patients. The report has indicted companies such as Novartis, GSK, Sanofi and Cipla among others.
In the India pharma market, which is showcasing a high double-digit growth since last five years, a "nexus" between big pharma and the drug approval system would hardly be a surprising development. Effective systems are meant to counter that. But when the implementation is in the hands of unethical officials with lax accountability, best of the procedures fail. Not having competent staff or the agency being overburdened and short staffed is hardly an excuse, when the issue is about regulatory oversight that has serious impact on public health. However, at this point, to a large extent, it does appear to be an issue of lack of right framework aligned with increased industry demands and competent execution.
The good thing is: India's health minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, has moved swiftly to address the situation. He has set up a three-member expert committee to evaluate allegations and give recommendations on improving the functioning of the drug regulator.
This committee has been given two months to table its recommendations. Systemic improvements in processing and grant of statutory approvals and procedural aspects of functioning of CDSO are on the agenda. In my view, talent scale-up with training and expertise building should be the foundation for any systemic improvements that need to be brought in.

Our latest product from Morphy Richards is the Elipta Espresso Coffee Maker, perfect for waking me up on these cold mornings!
Inside the box you'll find the Elipta Espresso in brushed stainless steel, a one and a two cup filter, coffee dispenser, a removable water tank and a tamping spoon. It was easy to set up, with the removable bits needing a wash and the machine a quick run through with water, and we were ready to go!
The Elipta Espresso can be used with E.S.E (Easy Serving Espresso) Pods or espresso coffee just simply chose your filter (one or two cup), pop it inside the coffee dispenser and fill with your choice. If using espresso coffee use the tamping spoon to pat it down. The Elipta Espresso will indicate it's ready to go when the blue light remains steady then select either a one or two cup brew.
The Elipta Espresso also has a steam wand which with make beautiful frothy milk, ideal for creating the perfect Cappuccino or Latte. Again, this is very simple to use by changing the setting on the front of the machine and turning the dial at the side. For any tea drinkers, the wand can also be used to dispense hot water.
We've made some great tasting coffee with the Elipta and Imogen just loves warm frothy hot chocolate when she comes home from school. I love the removable water tank which makes i so much easier to clean and fill up. It can be a little noisy but it's only to be expected from a machine with the amount of power the Elipta Espresso has. It looks stunning and even in my postage stamp of a kitchen doesn't take up too much precious worktop space.
Me and My Kiddywinks readers can receive a hefty £50 off the Elipta Espresso at www.morphyrichards.co.uk by entering the following code CM55BLOG, a great Christmas present at just £89.99 after discount.

Perhaps things will change, but right now nearly every political party organization beyond the Democrat and Republicans are run like disjointed cluster****s that make the political systems of third world banana republics look fair and organized by comparison. How much respect can one have for the Libertarian Party (not libertarian principles, but the Party) when they allow ex-Republican Bob Barr to walk into their convention and steal the Party's nomination from candidates who actually, ahem, campaigned for the nomination and participated in the primary process? And who was Barr's running mate? Wayne Alan Root, who up until the year before was a Republican. And really, how effective can the Libertarian Party ever be when the bulk of its membership eschew many of the necessary evils needed to effectively run a national party? It's akin to handing out a schedule of events at a three day Anarchist convention. If you want politicians to best represent your beliefs, at this time, far and away the best way to accomplish that is to work within either of the two major parties.
Lastly, the poll that started this thread is a poll put together by Libertarians. Is it any shock that most people are getting "results" that indicate a libertarian tilt? Here's my equally scientific (i.e. not at all) and equally meaningless poll:
Do you like breathing air that is untaxed? A M D
Do you think the US should be capable of defending itself? A M D
Parents are better suited than govt. to raise their children? A M D
If you answered A to two or more questions, you're a Conservative. Now if I can just work a link into my poll so that you can contribute money to me like the Libertarians did with their poll.

Aoi Bungaku Series - A Secret Santa 2014 Review
Aoi Bungaku Series is a collection of adaptions of classical Japanese literature from the early- to mid- 1900s. Each episode is started off with a brief talk about the author and his history, as well as a hint of what will come. I feel like it would be hard to review it without first separating the different stories a bit, as they are quite different from eachother, so without further ado:

Secret Santa 2012 Review
It's a very straightforward action anime whith funny characters, especially enjoyed the fujoshi character Hana and the "bad-luck charm" Asebi.
The show is centered around two things, and the combination of those two:
Fighting, Food and Fighting over Food It has quite fluid animation and best of all, the fights are not incredibly superpower-laden nor is there really any powerups or powercreeping (might be due to the length though) Good points:

And in a flash its done… The presents are all given and gotten, unwrapped and the trash is full. Bellies are aching from too much food and the thought of Christmas leftovers make the stomach turn.
Now it is time to start over. 2008 is literally around the corner. It is time to make resolutions, but first we need to look back at 2007 and realize what we need to make the coming year better.
Yes it is time to look at what we need to Start, Stop, and Continue to make 2008 a great year, not just in Scouting, but in our lives away from tan shirts and red tabs.
But there is the good rub, we don't, nor should we separate the two. Scouting has given us the tools for a great 2008 (I'm sure you didn't see this coming).
Yes, that's right… THE SCOUT OATH AND LAW!
We had an interesting week leading up to Christmas. Our house was broken into and burglarized. Luckily no one was home and nothing of significance was taken.. it was all just stuff. But the fact that a person entered my house and violated my "Free space" really got me thinking about why?
We can assume many things, but the short answer is the person that came into my house and took our things had no respect, no values.
The person did not respect the fact that we work hard for the things we have. And if we need more, we work harder. We don't steal to increase our wealth, we earn it.
The person does not understand values. Values found in the Scout Law. Values like being Trustworthy, Kind, Loyal, Obedient, Thrifty, Brave, Reverent, and so on. No this person does not understand those values and surely does not live them. Boy, did this person need Scouting.
So I started to think about 2008… What do I want to make better? How do I want to feel as I write preparing for 2009? What do I need to Start, Stop, and Continue?
And the short answer is live the Scout Law better… Daily. If I do that… EVERYTHING else will fall into place… Everything.
Think about that as you prepare this week to enter into 2008.
I think that if we all lived the Oath and Law, it will be a terrific 2008, not just for us, but for those around us.

The following editorial appeared recently in the Kansas City Star.
Opposition from Republican senators this week foiled an opportunity for the United States to lead the world in advocating for people with disabilities.
The Senate needed 66 votes to ratify a U.N. treaty that calls upon countries to ensure disabled citizens receive the same rights and freedoms as their able-bodied peers. Despite a visit in the Senate chamber from an ailing former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, it received only 61 votes.
The treaty, already ratified by 126 countries, calls on nations to live up to the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
As GOP Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran said in May, "Each person has the inherent right to life and should have the opportunity to pursue happiness, participate in society, and be treated equally before the law."
But Moran, along with a majority of GOP senators, voted in opposition to the treaty Wednesday.
At some point, Moran decided that "foreign officials should not be put in a position to interfere with U.S. policymaking."
Not that the treaty would do any such thing.
Senators must distinguish rational arguments from hysteria.
Opposition to the treaty was drummed up by far-right denizens like Rick Santorum and Glenn Beck, who claimed it would empower governments to tell parents how to care for disabled children. Other groups said it was really a call for more abortions.
None of that is true. Ratification would simply affirm the dignity and fair treatment of disabled people, including veterans. It would give the United States a chance to show its exceptionalism.
All of that should have appealed to Republicans. But as has been made painfully obvious, this is not Bob Dole's Senate anymore.

The Abomination of an Obama Nation (3.07.09)
"There is a danger here, I think, given that this might be the age when 'Spirit pours out on all flesh,' i.e., the vertical energies actually do become, in a way, more visible, more tangible, even to the oblivious MSM.
"The danger is this: the influx of vertical energies for the most part cannot find suitable spiritual anchoring, do not result in a growth of spiritual insight and wisdom, but rather the vertical energies might be suborned by the horizontal in an entirely unwholesome way.
"An example: hypothetically speaking, let's say... oh, let's say, some political candidate who's running for... oh, let's say, for president of the United States... Let's say this candidate uses the influx of vertical energy in such a way that it does not invest him (or her, let's be fair) with any particular wisdom -- in fact, this candidate mouths and apparently believes in the same old amorphous lefty platitudes. Only... this candidate seems invested with a peculiar type of charisma that has citizens from coast to coast virtually swooning in some orgasmystic ecstasy... no one's higher intellect is sharpened, only their *feelings* are set on fire by this candidate in some peculiar way...
"Well, as was said re: the days when the Spirit pours out on all flesh, one must be very careful not to fall for false messiahs and whatnot... meanwhile, there are those who indeed are spiritually anchoring the vertical energy influx and are doing so invisibly and with a certain amount of travail, as is necessary at this time."
First of all, let's get this out of the way at the outset. Are we calling Obama the antichrist?
Yes, or course.
No, wait -- let's not engage in ad obominem. Let's just say an embodiment of the antichristic principle. Let's discuss this in terms of abstract cosmic principles, without getting personal. No need to demonize someone just because he's an instrument of satan. He's just the vehicle, not the driver.
Now, what do we mean by "antichrist?" I would say that, as Christ is Word-made-flesh, the antichristic would analogously represent the "lower principle" made flesh -- the instantiation, as it were, of the Fall.
So first of all, to go along with my analysis, you must believe that man is in some sense a fallen being with a built-in -- or at least inevitable -- flaw. You don't have to be a fanatic about it. You only have to know that "something ain't right" with the earthlings, however you wish to conceptualize it. Being aware of this principle is our greatest inoculation against utopian leftist schemes to perfect mankind, which always result in unanticipated cosmic belowback.
Secondly, you would have to believe that it is possible for the forces responsible for the Fall to be personified -- or, let us say, both focused and dispersed like a beam of darkness through the concavity or convexations of man's heart. As Christ is a blinding light, antichrist would be darkness visible. Thus, to those who live in spiritual darkness, it would appear as a false light -- as, say, a single match is brighter than the sun in an enclosed room, cut off from the sun.
The Serpent, to paraphrase our Unknown Friend in Meditations on the Tarot, symbolizes advanced intelligence ("the most cunning of the beasts") turned wholly toward the horizontal. Thus, it is a perversion of man's intellect, as it represents a self-sufficient naturalism and total (small r) realism that betrays the vertical source of human intelligence. As such, we would expect one aspect of the antichrist to be high intelligence combined with extraordinary vapidity, at least to those with spiritual discernment.
But this cannot merely be the philosophical vapidity of the doctrinaire atheist or scientistic materialist, or it could never gain traction in the human heart, which always hungers for spirit, even if it is the false kind. Rather, it would have to come cloaked in some sort of seductive or hypnotic faux verticality. It would indeed have to be charismatic and charming, bearing in mind the root meaning of former, which is "divine gift," and of the latter, which is "incantation" or "magic spell."
A spiritually normal person would be alarmed and even creeped out if he possessed this kind of influence over others. At the very least, it would be an occasion for the deepest humility, combined with concern over the state of the souls of those under his influence. For one thing, the spiritually normal person knows that this charis is only on loan to him, and that he is not free to use it as he will. He is responsible for those who come under his spiritual influence, and this is a heavy responsibility. It is not to be taken lightly.
Rather, one is only free to use this power if it is aligned with its vertical source. There is something coming through the charismatic, not from him, and as soon as one realizes this, it is an occasion, yes, for gratitude, but also fear and trembling. It is analogous to the power to send men to die for their country, only on the vertical plane. It is the ability to inspire selfless martyrs, but for what purpose? Our satanic enemies are clearly selfless idealists under the influence of charismatic leaders. So what.
Our Unknown Friend asks the questions, "Can one produce artificially intellectual, moral or spiritual inspiration? Can the lungs produce the air which they need for respiration?" No: "the very process of breathing teaches the laws of obedience, poverty, and chastity, i.e. it is a lesson (by analogy) of grace. Conscious breathing in of the reality of grace is Christian Hatha-yoga. Christian Hatha-yoga is the vertical breathing of prayer and benediction -- or, in other words, one opens oneself to grace and receives it."
Unknown Friend goes on to say that the antichrist represents "the ideal of biological and historical evolution without grace." This is a key idea, for what is a progressive? A progressive is someone who believes fervently in progress while fanatically denying its possibility, since progress can only be measured in light of permanent truths and transcendent ideals.
The antichrist "is the ultimate product of this evolution without grace and is not an entity created by God," since divine creation is always a vertical act or descent. Yes, all things ultimately "come from God," in the same sense that all light comes from the sun, but think of all the infernal uses to which man may put the light!
Now, the phenobamenon -- being "derivative" and not from the source -- is ultimately a creator of those who created him. Unknown friend writes that, just as there are spiritual beings who reveal themselves "from above," there are what he calls egregores, which are "engendered artificially from below." Thus, "as powerful as they may be," they "have only an ephemeral existence," the duration of which "depends entirely on galvanising nourishment on the part of their creators."
As such, the really frightening thing about these kinds of amorphous demagogues is that they are given life and nourished by the rabble to whom they nourish and give life, in a spiritually barren cycle. The result is either spiritual asphyxiation or starvation, or probably both. And starved and suffocating men are capable of anything.
Ultimately, the antichrist is the shadow of the totality of mankind, as Jesus was the immanent shadow, so to speak, of the transcendent Divine Principle. The antichrist represents all that man is and can be in the absence of divine grace. It is he who transported Jesus to the highest earthly mountain "and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory" and said to him All these things I will give you if you will fall down and worship me.
The secular extremist or fanatical progressive worships his own creation, and in so doing, gives birth to the antiword. Materially, it results in a leftist Tower of Babel (i.e, the all-powerful state), whereas spiritually it results in a gelatinous tower of leftist babble (i.e., the vacuous but seductive demagogue who will lead the people in the direction of their most base impulses and desires).
To be continued....

Now get dark boy and you will be the bester you will be the bester.
I was so close to defeating Satan as Judas, then I decided to get rid of the last eyeleech-thing and its explosion hit me and killed me.
I wish it showed how many mom kills you have for each individual character.
Apparently I got Golden God even though I still need to get Little Chubby. Must've counted the coal as the last item I needed for the achievement
I'm still gonna go get Little Chubby just cause I want to have it truthfully completed.
Not sure what to do with all these hearts; I already blew up the blood bank and can't get them after I kill mom.
Also, I found out that if the challenge room contains a chest, the door is to the north/south, and you have a high enough speed, you can hit the chest and exit before the door closes. When you re-enter, the items are still there, but the enemies aren't.
Also also, I got the skeleton key and then Bombs are Key and then Bobby Bomb. Way more bombs than I know what to do with.
Edit: Just maxed out my damage and tears on Basement 1. This will be a good run.
Jesus Christ, Brimstone + Chocolate Milk + Technology is amazing.
Jesus Christ, Brimstone + Chocolate Milk + Technology is amazing.
And I had a fun run last night: Fetus in a Jar, Bobby-Bomb, Mr. Mega, Money=Power, Dollar, Skeleton Key, Noose, and a ton of hp upgrades; a shame that I never got a chance to make a deal with the Devil, I would have liked to cash in on my 12+ regular hearts. The bomb upgrades worked really well together, and the money=power and getting a dollar on my first use of the slot machine really kicked the damage up a notch or 5. I murdered Satan in under 30 seconds
FINALLY! I got Little Chubby and officially completed The Binding of Isaac. Now to wait for the DLC to come out
I earned this truly now
Okay, so i tried the game three times, first two times i died pitifully in caves 1, then i didn't play rest of the day, next day i begin playing again, did two deals with the devil in first basement level, beat the next few levels with just one heart, as i had gotten a heart container and sacrificed three hearts with those deals, go all the way through the game to the fight with mom, i have half a heart left, so im thinking, shit, if i get hit once, im dead, and i have no idea what attacks she has, im gonna lose.
But i won.
just had a very nice run
took this picture
and unlocked everything's terrible. fuck.
"Will the easier bosses get a bulk up in the expansion? ( Pitifully easy ones like Fistula and Scolex? ) "
"Scolex will, but fistula is still ok in my book "
Thank fuck. That boss is a joke as is, especially considering how late into the game it is you fight him. He'd be better suited in basement then womb.
Fuck yeah, just got this:
Had a really good build with Eve, sadly I was too happy and forgot to take a screenshot of it :(
I had: Charm of the Vampire, Little C.H.A.D. (those two + Whore of Babylon and Dead Bird fit perfectly), Mini Mush, A Pony, Magneto, Mom's Contacts, Roid Rage, Treasure Map and Coat Hanger.
So yeah, great Eve build.
Was also 7th completion. It's getting warmer
I still haven't beaten Sheol once yet, its sad times :(
After months of playing, i've finally GOT to Mom and beat her
and yet there is still so much to do ;-;
i'll start with the question: how do i unlock judas
I was playing cain, my first two items were third eye and pentagram, sweet
next floor I get a health up and moms lipstick or whatever
caves 1 I get the shovel and my little unicorn, and a ladder. but I die on GURDY of all bosses because I insisted on fighting her with one health (I should've used the shovel)
Hell, turning things pixelated only for the arcade would be enough to tide me over, considering it's still a sizable project to undertake. It's understandable if he doesn't want to have to animate a ton of enemies and items, he'd only need to take care of the shell game, slot machine, blood donation machine, rocks, items that can be dropped by those machines or by usable items, and etc. It's less work than revamping everything
Sheol , so don't get hit).
So I poisoned war with the rotten head, he then proceeded to fly out of the screen, and kept taking damage, now he won't come back
It was a good run
The Fetus in a Jar is by far my favourite power up. Combined with Bobby Bomb and the Ouija Board, you are unstoppable. It was a good thing I got these for my Blue Baby run, because I was able to breeze through Sheol.
I just had a run with max damage, max tears, max range and max speed. Also had 5 hearts and 5 soul hearts.
Beat satan as blue baby... now i can play as cain every time until the DLC and collect all the remaining items

Frank Bucaida
Frank Bucaida passed away on February 6, 2013 in his adopted winter home city of Bonita Springs, Florida. He leaves behind his wife Joann (nee Straus), two daughters Amy Bucaida (Fred Bauer) and Beth Bucaida (Paul Konopacki), one son John Bucaida, sister Vinnie Thousand (Larry Jerdee), grandchildren Morgan Swanstrom, Alec Swanstrom, Michelle Konopacki, Peter Konopacki, Sophie Bucaida, Ted Bauer, Frank Bauer, his mother-in-law Loretta Straus, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Frank and Joann lost daughter Jill in 1974.
Frank was born August 17, 1932 in Madison, WI, to Giuseppe and Antonina Bucaida of Sicily, Italy, and moved to New Jersey with his parents shortly thereafter. He grew up in New Jersey, and graduated from NYU with a BA in History and Political Science. He went to Fordham Law School for one year. On summer break while on vacation to visit the city of his birth, he met his wife Joann at Brown's Bookstore on State Street in Madison, where they both had summer jobs. Frank won over Joann, and Joann's mother with a dozen roses, and transferred to UW Law School where he graduated with honors in 1957. Frank and Joann married in 1956 and have lived in "wedded blitz" since.
In 1955 Frank was employed by the law firm now known as Axley Brynelson as its very first law clerk, becoming a partner and practicing for 50 years there. Frank was a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin, the Dane County Bar Association, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, and the Supreme Court Bar. He appeared before the United States Supreme Court in what he considered to be the most important case in his career when he defended Waunakee's right to keep its crèche in the Village Park, saving the crèche.
Frank was a Boy Scout leader at Queen of Peace church, a long time member of the Knights of Columbus being named a Columbian of the Year, the Italian Workman's Club, the National Italian American Foundation, and the Rotary Club. He was a trustee and member of St. Mary of the Lake Church, Westport since 1964, on the Board of Directors of several companies, and the attorney for many towns and villages north of Madison. He was a long-time resident of Westport, living on Mary Lake Road for over 30 years.
Frank was the spaghetti chef and meatball king at the Holy Name Seminary and St. Mary of the Lake spaghetti dinners for many years. He loved golf, was an original organizer and member of Bishop's Bay Country Club, and past president of Blackhawk Country Club. He enjoyed traveling the world with his wife and friends.
Frank was cremated in Bonita Springs, Florida, as he always said he'd rather be seen than viewed. A visitation will be held at Winn-Cress Funeral Home, 5785 County Road Q, Waunakee, on Sunday, February 17, 2013, 2:00-5:00. A mass will be held at St. Mary of the Lake Church, 5460 Mary Lake Road, Westport (Waunakee) at 11:00 on Monday, February 18, 2013, with a luncheon to follow at St. Mary of the Lake School (next to the church). In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg, WI. The family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses at NCH hospital in Florida who took such wonderful care of Frank the last week of his life. The family would also like to thank all of Frank's many friends who were so supportive of and kind to Frank and Joann. "We will drink all wine before its time."

With leukoplakia (loo-koh-PLAY-key-uh), thickened, white patches form on your gums, the insides of your cheeks, the bottom of your mouth and, sometimes, your tongue. These patches can't be scraped off.
Doctors don't know what causes leukoplakia but consider tobacco — whether smoked, dipped or chewed — to be the main culprit in its development.
Leukoplakia usually isn't dangerous, but it can sometimes be serious. Although most leukoplakia patches are noncancerous (benign), some show early signs of cancer. Many cancers on the floor of the mouth — beneath the tongue — occur next to areas of leukoplakia. For that reason, it's best to see your dentist if you have unusual, persistent changes in your mouth.
Leukoplakia can have various appearances. Changes usually occur on your gums, the insides of your cheeks, the bottom of your mouth and, sometimes, your tongue.
Leukoplakia may appear:
A type of leukoplakia called hairy leukoplakia primarily affects people whose immune systems have been weakened by medications or disease, especially HIV/AIDS. Hairy leukoplakia causes fuzzy, white patches that resemble folds or ridges on the sides of your tongue. It's often mistaken for oral thrush — an infection marked by creamy white patches, which can be wiped away, on the area that extends from the back of your throat to the top of your esophagus (pharynx) and the insides of the cheeks. Oral thrush also is common in people with HIV/AIDS.
Sometimes mouth sores can be annoying or painful without being harmful. But in other cases, mouth problems can indicate a more serious condition.
See your dentist if you have any of the following:
The cause of leukoplakia depends on whether you have the standard or hairy variety.
Although the cause of leukoplakia is unknown, tobacco use, including smoking and chewing, appears to be responsible for most cases. Often, regular users of smokeless tobacco products eventually develop leukoplakia where they hold the tobacco against their cheeks. Long-term alcohol use and other chronic irritants also may contribute to leukoplakia.
Hairy leukoplakia, sometimes called oral hairy leukoplakia, results from infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Once you've been infected with EBV, the virus remains in your body for life. Normally, the virus is dormant, but if your immune system is weakened, either from disease or certain medications, the virus can become reactivated, leading to conditions such as hairy leukoplakia.
People with HIV/AIDS are especially likely to develop hairy leukoplakia. Although the use of antiretroviral drugs has reduced the number of cases, hairy leukoplakia still affects a number of HIV-positive people and it may be one of the first signs of HIV infection. The appearance of oral hairy leukoplakia may also be an indication that antiretroviral therapy is failing.
Tobacco use puts you at high risk of leukoplakia and oral cancer. Drinking alcohol combined with smoking further increases your risk.
Leukoplakia usually doesn't cause permanent damage to tissues in your mouth. However, oral cancer is a potentially serious complication of leukoplakia. Oral cancers often form near leukoplakia patches, and the patches themselves may show cancerous changes. Even after leukoplakia patches are removed, the risk of oral cancer remains.
Hairy leukoplakia, on the other hand, isn't painful and isn't likely to lead to cancer. But it may indicate HIV infection or AIDS.
You're likely to start by seeing your dentist or a general practitioner. However, you may also be referred to an oral surgeon or an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
To get ready for your appointment, make a list of:
For leukoplakia, basic questions to ask your dentist include:
Don't hesitate to ask other questions during your appointment, especially if there's something you don't understand.
Your dentist is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:
Quitting tobacco use of any kind may reduce or eliminate your leukoplakia.
Most often, your dentist diagnoses leukoplakia by examining the patches in your mouth and ruling out other possible causes. To test for early signs of cancer, your dentist may:
If the biopsy is positive and your dentist performed an excisional biopsy that removed the entire leukoplakia patch, you may not need further treatment. If the patch is large, your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon or ENT specialist for treatment.
For most people, stopping tobacco or alcohol use clears the condition. When this isn't effective or if the lesions show early signs of cancer, your dentist may refer you for treatment, which involves:
Leukoplakia treatment is most successful when a lesion is found and treated early, when it's small. Regular checkups are important, as is routinely inspecting your mouth for areas that don't look normal.
Usually, you don't need treatment for hairy leukoplakia. The condition often causes no symptoms and isn't likely to lead to mouth cancer.
If your doctor or dentist recommends treatment, you may take a pill that affects your whole system (systemic medication), such as the antiviral medicine acyclovir (Zovirax) or antiretroviral medicine zidovudine (Retrovir). Or you may use a medication solution that you apply directly to the lesions in your mouth (topical medication), such as podophyllum.
Once you stop treatment, the white patches of hairy leukoplakia may return. Your doctor or dentist may recommend follow-up visits every three months to monitor changes to your mouth or ongoing therapy to prevent leukoplakia patches from returning.
You may be able to prevent leukoplakia if you:

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
On the surface, the plot of Merle Temple's novel, "A Ghostly Shade of Pale," may seem like something from an action movie, complete with mobsters and drug busts gone awry.
But Temple's inspiration did not come from any "Lethal Weapon" movie. It came from his real life career with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics in the 1970s, the beginning of President Nixon's war on drugs.
"At the time you had the Vietnam war, an active Ku Klux Klan, and civil unrest in general. You couldn't understand the drug scene without understanding the unique time period that challenged America's self- image," he said.
God at the drug deal
Temple said the time period takes on a life of its own in the novel, and was defined by the schism between old school values and new school hedonism.
"Growing up in a very conservative culture, it was jarring to be thrust into the free love counter culture," he said. "It was a buffet of deadly pleasures, and some lost their moral center."
Like his novel's protagonist, Michael Parker, Temple said even though he grew up in church, he did not actively seek Christ even in his volatile profession.
But in the direst of situations, God kept showing up.
Temple recalled being undercover in Tylertown, Miss., setting up a heroin sting, when he lost control of the situation. Sensing something amiss, the drug dealers held Temple hostage in a shotgun shack on some unknown back road, and spent the night debating what to do with Temple's body.
"They had a pistol to my head and a shotgun to my belly," he said. "Something releases in you when you think you're about to die. I asked the Lord for one more sunrise."
Temple did indeed escape and soon returned to arrest his captors.
In another instance, Temple said the Holy Spirit moved him to don a bullet proof vest before embarking on a bust. It may sound like common sense, but the vests of the time were extremely bulky and hard to conceal.
"I had my hand on the gear shift of my car and this presence just came over me, and it frightened me," he said. "I thought it was just stress, but when it happened again, I looked up and said 'OK, OK.'"
The set-up went wrong and turned into a full-blown gunfight, which Temple narrowly escaped.
"Even then, God was watching over me," he said.
The right fit
Temple said since then spreading the word of Christ has become like breathing.
"The book is hard to pigeonhole because there are so many threads – crime, romance, politics – but the search for God definitely underlies everything. Christ loved me when I was unlovable," he said.
Once Temple had his manuscript, the next step was finding an interested publisher. Temple soon found he did not see eye to eye with what publishers thought would sell. One wanted to remove the Bible verses that begin each chapter. Another wanted him to spice up his prose with profanity, known as "neon" in the publishing business.
"One even asked if there was any way I could add vampires to the mix," he said. "I figured if no one buys it, at least I wanted something I wouldn't be ashamed to show my mother and my high school English teacher."
Temple soon found the right publisher right in his own backyard in Tupelo with Bethel Road Publications.
Initially, he consulted the Christian publishers for advice, but it turned out to be a "match made in heaven" to produce the book. He knew it was the right fit when the company opened each meeting with a prayer.
Once the book was finished, it received positive reception from a wide range of readers, including Jim Clemente, writer for the television crime drama "Criminal Minds." He has committed to work with Bethel Road for the sequel to "A Ghostly Shade of Pale," entitled "A Rented World."
Temple said he plans to make the adventures of Michael Parker a trilogy.
"I hope readers get to the end and feel like it was worth the read and I hope they might examine their own walk with Christ," he said. "I hope they learn it's later than they think."
Staying true
Sara Berry, founder of Bethel Road Publications, knew she was working with something special when Temple walked through her door, but never imagined it would take off the way it did.
"When [Temple] contacted me, he wanted some advice on what direction to go in the way of publishing his book," she said. "The more I heard about the book and his life story, the more I thought it was a great fit."
Unlike other publishers, Berry said the story was good enough to stand on its own, without the pizazz of "neon."
"If you have to add those things to keep readers interested, it's probably not a good story to begin with," she said. "The book is gritty. We thought and prayed everything through when working on it. We're not trying to mask the tragic, evil realities of the world, but accept them, and try to see them through God's perspective."
The mother of six started publishing in 2002, when she began producing materials for children's Bible studies. She officially founded Bethel Road in 2006, and also runs a separate company, Integrity Time, that generates character-building activities for kids.
Berry said she and her lean staff of five close friends and family enjoy the detail work of publishing.
"A lot of decisions have to be made, like what kind of paper, font style and size, so it's really rewarding to get that finished product and to work with writers to make their stories complete," she said. "I know what it's like to have something inside dying to be written down."
Though the company is small, Berry said it is ready to handle whatever success "A Ghostly Shade of Pale" may bring.
"We are going to stay true to who we are and what we are called to do," she said. "We aren't going to compromise on our values to sell more books, and I think people will respect that."

Once burned, you wont let that happen again. People don't realize the time put inyo this.
your wall hanging is fantastic! The sentiment involved would make it hard for me to withhold .......... next time I'd go for a written contract as suggested. I hope you get your agreed upon price.... if not, maybe this is your "pay-it-forward". My family says I should take orders.... I tell them to look up the meaning of "hobby".... if I were contracted, it wouldn't be fun any more.
If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours!
I agree $200.00 would be a very fair price for this work pf art. Remember that is what it is. Drafting the pattern, collecting the components , piecing, quilt prep and quilting, binding and label. No less than 200.00.
And it is wonderful.
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
Seems unanimous......don't you dare let her have that quilt for $60!!! I would box it up and keep it in my closet before I let her have it.....and that would be a shame, it's gorgeous. Keep us posted....I'm sure you haven't heard the last from this woman.
What's up with the discount?
What an "entity" you are dealing with! May the world give your 'client' everything he/she deserves!
It sounds like she agreed to $125, so I don't know why she's backing out at a cost of $126. She is getting a bargain at this price for all the work you've done. Maybe you can sell it to someone else. It's beautiful.

Family denied contact with abuse victim
Jury selected in Chad Chritton's trial
MADISON, Wis. - A jury has been selected for the case against Chad Chritton, a father accused of locking up and starving his teenage daughter.
Meanwhile, some of the victim's family members said they have been denied contact with the girl referred to as "SLC" in court.
A jury of 10 women and six men will decide whether Chritton is guilty of six felony charges connected to the 15-year-old's abuse. His wife, Melinda Drabek-Chritton, is also accused of locking the girl in the basement and denying her food until she wasted away to 68 pounds.
Drabek-Chritton is also facing six felonies, including child abuse and neglect. The girl's stepbrother has been accused of sexually assaulting her.
SLC's cousin, Tanya Hansen, has spoken out in support of the victim before. She told WISC-TV that relatives on the victim's biological side of the family don't know where SLC is, who she is with or how she is doing.
The victim's great aunt, Pamela Timmermans, said the victim's biological mother was forced to sign away her parental rights when she and Chad Chritton divorced.
Maternal relatives have made numerous requests to visit with SLC or send letters to her, but Dane County Social Services said they could have no access to or contact with the girl.
"All we want is for her to know that she has family that loves her and will be here for her when she has the ability to decide for herself rather than some arbitrary supervisor working for the system," Timmermans said in a written statement.
Relatives said they were also concerned to learn that child advocates are not helping SLC. Timmermans specifically referred to Dane County's CASA program not being involved.
Dane County Social Services Director Lynn Green would not go into detail about the case or the condition of SLC. Green said once a parent terminates his or her rights, that person cannot legally restore those rights.
The trust fund created by the victim's maternal relatives to support her in the future is still active and raising money, according to family members.
Chad Chritton's trial is set to begin Tuesday morning. WISC-TV's Dannika Lewis will be tweeting from the proceedings

Family: Fagaceae, Beech view all from this family
Description Quercus lyrata (overcup oak) is an oak in the white oak group (Quercus sect. Quercus). It is native to lowland wetlands in the southeastern United States, from Delaware and southern Illinois south to northern Florida and southeast Texas.
It is a medium-sized deciduous tree, growing to 20 m tall, with a trunk up to 80 cm (rarely 140 cm) diameter. The leaves are 10-16 cm (rarely 20 cm) long and 5-10 cm broad, deeply lobed, often somewhat lyre-shaped (lyrate), dark green above, paler and often finely hairy beneath. The flowers are catkins, produced in the spring and maturing in about 6-7 months into acorns 2.5-5 cm long and 2-4 cm broad, largely enclosed by the cupule (acorn cup).
The common name comes from the acorns being largely enclosed in the cup; the scientific name comes from the lyrate (lyre-shaped) leaves.
Habitat Swamps (fresh & salt), Watersides (fresh).
Range Texas, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, Plains, Florida.

Homeland, on the other hand, just keeps bringing it and getting more intense.
I caught a break with the huge days that Charles and Lynch had. They had a combined 300 yards and 4 TDs, so I didn't need much from the QB. You can still make that deficit up with a good week next week.
WTF Dexter.
SpoilerThat episode made no sense. He's really going to assist in putting someone away for life that has intimate knowledge of his criminal activity? Hannah now has zero to lose and a lot to gain by squealing on Dexter.
And you telling me LaGuerta organized the release of an inmate simply because she expected that he would get killed? What?
Also, Im willing to bet my left testicle that
SpoilerHannah didnt poison Deb. Deb poisoned Deb in some ****ed up, jumping the shark plan to make Dexter kill or turn in Hannah. It goes without sayng what a monumental ass pull it is for her to risk death in a car accident to do that, but I think thats where the writers are taking us
Sorry dont watch dexter..............
Looks like a crazy finale though. Ill overlook this episode if they hit a home run next week.
Homeland definitely delivered, though.

Police arrest Djibouti journalist covering demonstration
Nairobi, August 12, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls for the release of Mohamed Ibrahim Waiss, a radio journalist who was taken into custody on Friday in a suburb of the capital, Djibouti City, and accused of incitement and publishing false news.
Police arrested Mohamed, a journalist for the opposition online radio station La Voix de Djibouti (The Voice of Djibouti) at 1 p.m. while he was covering a demonstration by the Union Pour Le Salut National (Union for National Salvation), a coalition of opposition parties, according to local journalists and news reports. The union routinely holds weekly protests to protest a lack of basic services and democracy, local journalists told CPJ.

Sequential Circuits Pro One
The Sequential Pro One is a wicked little monosynth! It comes from the same period and genre as the Roland SH-101 and Moog Prodigy. The Pro One was basically Sequential's attempt at taking their legendary Prophet 5 poly-synth and packing it into a compact, inexpensive, monophonic analog synth! It has two VCOs, a great 4-pole lowpass filter, two ADSR envelopes (one for filter), and a compact three-octave keyboard. With a Pro-One, you can easily create punchy analog bass-lines and leads or quirky analog synth effects.
The Pro One is an extremely flexible synth with lots of modulation possibilities (ie: the filter, VCO B and LFO can modulate VCO A or B frequencies or pulse widths, or the VCF). There's also an onboard sequencer, something common on many Sequential synths but not often found on other monosynths of the time. It is very basic, however, storing only two patterns and up to 40 notes max. Also, only pitch info is recorded (and in step time only); you can not assign a note duration to any notes. So it's basically a short melodic sketch-pad...but useful. Also onboard is an arpeggiator which has UP and UP/DOWN patterns.
The Pro One is relatively simple and intuitive to use, fun, educational and responsible for some of the coolest and hardest basslines in electronic music today! It is used by Hardfloor, Überzone, the Prodigy, Cirrus, Fluke, Depeche Mode, Download, Banco De Gaia, Vince Clarke, New Order, Freddy Fresh, Mouse on Mars, Prince, Soft Cell, Richard Barbieri and Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
But since you can't always find one (about 10,000 were produced), or one that works properly... Wine Country Sequential has come up with a solution! WCS has been servicing old Sequential gear for years, as well as selling repair parts, etc. They have developed the Pro One Software Synthesizer Plug-In, an awesome replica of the original Pro One, both in look and sound! It has some added features and is an incredible way to easily add the sound of the Pro One to your music! Another option is the Repro-1. Every detail of the original was captured using component-level modelling technology to create the most authentic model possible. All the subtle characteristics and quirks found in the original are present in Repro-1.

It would have been a long flight home
The tornado warning in Nashville did not, ultimately, apply to the Canadiens' room.
David Desharnais' spectacular Overtime goal saved his team from the ignominy of blowing a 3-0 lead in Nashville.
Tornados or not, the Canadiens ought to fly out of there before the cops arrive to investigate theft of two points.
The Canadiens were outshot 34-23.
David Desharnais stripped the Nashville defenceman and beat Carter Hutton with a laser to secure two points the Canadiens probably didn't deserve.
Lead blown
P.K. Subban was in the penalty box when Patrik Hornqvist bashed Andrei Markov into the boards behind Carey Price.
Mike Fisher got the puck and fed Nick Shea Weber for the tying goal.
Total domination
Leading 3-0, the Canadiens were outshot 20-6 in the second period.
Nashville got goals from Gabriel Bourque and, on a power-play, Nick Spaling to set up a very nervous third period.
Douglas Murray was on for both Nashville goals, screwing up a Carey Price clearing attempt on the second.
Michel Therrien may set a record for f-bombs.
Early explosion
The Canadiens had not scored a first-period goal since Dec. 2 in New Jersey.
They got three in Nashville.
In three minutes, seven seconds. On three consecutive SoG.
P.K. Subban got it started with his fifth ... and first in 11 games.
Max Pacioretty's 15th – on a brilliant head-man pass by Brendan Gallagher – and Tomas Plekanec's 12th (tipping in Brian Gionta's shot) completed the surge ... and ended the night for goaltender Marek Mazarec, beaten on three of five shots.
Carey Price made sevensaves and was helped by his goalposts, which Viktor Stalberg hit twice.
Ho-ho-home soon
Saturday night in Nashville, the Canadiens will play their last game before a nice long Christmas break.
After flying back to Montreal, the team is idle until Dec. 28, when they begin a Florida swing in Tampa Bay.
The Canadiens will be trying to get back on the winning track after that stomping in St.Louis.
Francis Bouillon, who played three seasons in Nashville, returns to the lineup against the Predators.
Daniel Brière – who watched Thursday's game from the pressbox, whence he could observe it helps to be as tall as Patrik Berglund – will also draw in.

I have not tried this recipe yet. I am looking forward to trying it very soon. Here's a tip for zesting; never zest down to the white flesh that is where the bitter comes in. I find this is true with any citrus fruit.
This was very, very good. For reviewers who thought the lime was too intense, that may be due to the lime zest. I used the zest of two limes (and the limes were on the smaller side), and did not measure it out; 2 full tablespoons, as called for in the recipe, might be too much, as lime zest can be bitter when there's too much of it. Agree with others here that the flavor really develops overnight - this is tastier on the second day. Overall, easy, bright flavors, a nice twist on a classic.
Disappointing. Very sour and the crust was kinda sticky and chewy.
If you like key lime pie then this is close to it. I didn't like the consistency and the lime is too intense.
These got rave reviews from everyone who tried them, and I tripled the recipe and served them to a large group. Many remarked that they were really special, a delicious twist on the traditional lemon bar. I made the recipe exactly as written, I used a microplane to zest the lime which gets good zest and no bitter pith. I had some regular limes and some persian limes, which were not very juicy, so I did finally (since I made such a big batch) cave and use some bottled lime juice to get up to the full amount. I lined my pyrex pans with parchment and sprayed with baker's joy and they came out perfectly. The flavors make a great dessert with asian food. I will definitely make these again!
I halved the sugar and used unsweetened flaked coconut. I was unsure if the custard would set with less sugar so added 1 tsp of gelatine to ensure it did. (might not be needed). To get the top layer to caramelise a little, I sprinkled 1 tsp of berry sugar over it (extra fine ordinary sugar). Before cutting, I scattered the citrus 'pearls' from one Australian Native Finger Lime over all (tiny intensely tart, strong lime flavoured, beads). Compliments and requests for the recipe all round!
Good in every way except the lime tasted bitter. I think I'll stick to lemon bars or perhaps a lemon-lime mixture next time. The coconut added a nice texture but not much flavor.
Super pleased with this recipe. I was able to prepare, cook and clean up after it in about an hour. The ingredients are very simple. And, most importantly, it came out delicious and was a complete hit when served a few hours after baking. I'm so happy to have a non-chocolate recipe that doesn't feel like non-chocolate filler - something that people can get excited about in its own right!
Fantastic!! I have made this as an "as is" recipe, but did a substitution of Meyer Lemon Juice from our tree and found out that is is incredible with limes or meyer lemons!
This is a great recipe! I used fresh key lime juice. I lined the pan with foil for easy removal and I cut them after an hour of chilling. They really are better the next day, so it`s a good "do ahead" recipe. I highly recommend!

Tyehimba to speak on reparations legislation, April 22
Posted April 21, 2004; 05:51 p.m.
Kibibi Tyehimba, co-chair of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America, will speak on "HR-40 and the Reparations Movement: Current Legal Strategies" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 22, in 302 Frist.
Tyehimba, who also co-chairs the DC Metropolitan chapter of the coalition, is involved in organizing elected officials across the country to support the passage of HR-40. The bill, introduced annually since 1989 in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. John Conyers, would allow for an investigation of slavery's effects on the African American population and determine if reparations are necessary. Tyehimba will speak on community organizing and the 21st-century reparations movement as a critical extension of African Americans' ongoing quest for human and civil rights in the United States.
The event is sponsored by the Princeton Justice Project . It is free and open to the public.

Thread: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
27th October 2012 03:01 PM #1
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Hello! i would like to ask what are the causes and how to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)?
28th October 2012 02:11 AM #2
SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) or SUDI (sudden unexpected death in infancy) has no definitive cause. However, studies have shown that certain things can lessen the likelihood of SIDS occurring.
- Breastfeeding reduces the risk of cot death by up to 70%.
- Co-Sleeping may lessen a baby's susceptibility to some forms of SIDS (My lactation consultant told me that babies pattern their breathing after mum, when co-sleeping, so we had a family bed with all of our children.)
- Controlled crying can pose a potential risk of SIDS in vulnerable infants.
- Vaccines can contribute to SIDS. Years god, when when there were few vaccines, there were also few cases of SIDS. As vaccine protocols became more rigorous, the number if SIDS cases increased in proportion.
Here's a wonderful forum dedicated just to vaccination information, and I would encourage you to learn how to choose the vaccines that are best for your child and your family. Each family is unique and one vaccine may be a good choice for one family, and a bad choice for others. Many parents don't feel empowered to selectively vaccinate their children or to refuse vaccination altogether if they believe that the potential harm done from vaccination would be worse than the potential disease or affects of disease.
Did you find this information helpful?

Hi Kate,
Is there a particular age that babies are more susceptible to SIDS?
24th November 2012 03:13 AM #5
Most cases of SIDS occur between 2 to 4 months of age. I see a large correlation between vaccines at such a young age, and SIDS. I would encourage you to look at each vaccine, individually, and decide when/if your child needs it. If it's something you can delay until your child is older, their immune system will be stronger which will reduce the risk of SIDS.
I would encourage you to take a look around our vaccination forum for more really good information.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate,
Thanks for this
8th December 2012 01:09 PM #7
I second what Kate has state above. I think the evidence strongly suggests that the use of certain vaccinations and formula rather than breastmilk are probably the biggest culprits in SIDS.
29th January 2013 09:22 AM #8
Its a difficult one because often there are no answers to what causes SIDS.
However some factors have a high index of suspician:
1: Cigarette smoke - even via clothing contact with a smoker
2: Mattresses - old decaying mattresses give off fumes
3: Tummy sleeping
4: Respiratory infections
My personal view is that breast feeding and co-sleeping are better for a baby and I would always (in any situation) recommend that a baby has been checked over by an osteopath to ensure their breathing function mechanically is at its optimum.
However if you are concerned about your baby's health talk it through with your GP.
