What to Ask Your Gynecologist
Before you slip into those stirrups, here's what you need to know and what you need to demand.
by Molly M. McGinty
"After the doctor examined me, she said, 'My God! You have genital warts!' in the most offended voice possible," Duffy remembers. "She didn't offer any advice. She didn't offer any information. She responded with complete disgust. I was shocked as I sat in her office, and I cried when I went home. Being told you have an STD is bad enough. But my doctor offered me no compassion or help whatsoever."
At the time, Duffy was 20 years old and had had less than a handful of sexual partners. Now 31 and a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, she has learned to live with the threat of recurring genital warts and with the incurable but treatable human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes them. But, like the millions of women in this country who have sexually transmitted infections-and the millions more who are at risk for them--she's still waiting for adequate and comprehensive care when it comes to her sexual health.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a nonprofit organization that tracks health care policy, 15.3 million STDs are contracted annually in this country. The U.S. has the highest infection rates of any industrialized nation. Every year, STDs cost more than $8.4 billion in treatment. Experts say we could slash this expense (and eliminate untold pain and suffering) if we pledged to take one simple step: provide effective screening and treatment during medical exams.
"Many women don't know what they're getting when they go in for a gynecological exam," says Dr. Lisa Gilbert, director of the women's health program for the American Social Health Association (ASHA), a nonprofit organization devoted to STD education. "They don't realize that a Pap smear detects changes in cervical cells without testing for any specific diseases. They don't realize that practically every STD requires a separate diagnostic. Because they don't understand the difference between a Pap smear, a pelvic check, and an STD test, they walk away thinking they've had all their STD tests when, in reality, they've had none."
Tests for common STDs include cervical swabs for chlamydia and trichomoniasis, follow-up testing of abnormal Paps for HPV, and blood tests for herpes, HIV, and hepatitis B. Patients don't realize they're not getting these tests, and doctors aren't coming out and telling them. Recent surveys show that this silence is widespread. KFF found that 40 percent of women aren't asked about their sexual histories on pre-exam questionnaires. And according to the Commonwealth Fund, 84 percent of women and 72 percent of teenage girls hadn't discussed STDs with their doctors in the year preceding the survey.
Why do so many patients fall through the cracks? Experts point to a lack of public awareness. People fail to grasp the fact that STDs are a real threat: transmitted through oral sex as well as intercourse, lurking in the systems of the mutually monogamous, and often asymptomatic or unnoticeable (which is the case with chlamydia, herpes, and HIV). People don't learn how to best protect themselves: condoms and dental dams are the most effective methods, followed by diaphragms, cervical caps, or spermicides. According to a KFF study, 74 percent of men and 69 percent of women who are of reproductive age seriously underestimate the prevalence of STDs, guessing that one in ten Americans will become infected during his or her life. Although one in ten seems scary, the truth is even more alarming: the real number is one in four. Says Tina Hoff, director of public health information for KFF, "People seem to believe that it just can't happen to them. There is such denial that it's really astounding."
Patients fail to do their part in prevention for a number of reasons. Some get tested only for HIV because it has the biggest public profile. Some discover they have rashes or discharges but then just shrug them off. Still others make the mistake of assuming they can't be at risk. "I had never been sexually active before my ex-husband, so STDs were the furthest thing from my mind," says Elaine Sweet, a 37-year-old policy analyst from Phoenix who has a strain of HPV that causes cervical cancer. "It never occurred to me that his past would come back to haunt me."
And then there's the stigma and shame of STDs. "We don't have famous people coming forward and saying, 'Can I be the poster child for herpes?'" says Gilbert. "STDs are very hidden, secret, and mysterious; and that's helping these germs replicate like crazy." Afraid of discovering that they are infected-or of being pegged as promiscuous-patients may be too timid to broach the subject with their doctors. Doctors, in turn, may be reluctant to step forward and make the first move. One KFF survey found that they were even less likely to broach the topic than their patients. "Some patients get insulted if you ask about STDs," says Dr. Robert Hagler, chair of the gynecological practice committee for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. "You run the risk of offending them, and this can make discussing STDs difficult."
According to a survey by the Commonwealth Fund, women with no insurance and those who rely on Medicaid are more likely to discuss STDs with their doctors than women who see private physicians. But patients who rely on neighborhood clinics aren't necessarily getting better care. "At some public clinics in some states, the government won't pay for adequate screening," says Dr. Michael Burnhill, vice president for medical affairs at Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "These clinics use tests that have been around 20 years and aren't the most accurate or sensitive ones on the market." According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights advocacy group, the public sector spends $1 to prevent STDs for every $43 spent on treatment. Yet another hurdle is the lack of set protocols. Each HMO has its own guidelines for STD screening. And that's just one set of marching orders. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Medical Association, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Committee for Quality Assurance, and ASHA all have separate recommendations. None of these wield the force of law and no two are exactly alike.
Without set protocols, doctors are left to their own devices to assess which patients are at risk. If they're in the Southeast, they might test for syphilis, which is more prevalent in that part of the country. If they're examining a patient who's under 25, they may test her for chlamydia and gonorrhea, which are more common in younger women. Beyond that, it's a matter of guesswork. "Often doctors have little more than appearance to base their screening decisions on," says Gilbert. "But it's impossible to look at someone and know if they're really at risk. STDs don't discriminate. You can't tell someone's STD status based on age, race, or socioeconomic factors."
Until modern medicine makes sense of the muddle, women must take charge of their own STD screening. Our very lives depend on it. We're more likely than men to suffer long-term health consequences: HPV can lead to cervical cancer; chlamydia can cause infertility and ectopic pregnancy; and, left untreated, HIV can be fatal. Women also face the added threat of transmitting infections to their unborn children. The tragic consequences can include premature birth, low birth weight, conjunctivitis, blindness, pneumonia, neurological problems, and congenital abnormalities.
To avoid these disasters, women need to step forward and get routine annual STD screening. Health advocates urge every woman to do the following:
Find that your doctor isn't cooperative? Find that she or he shrugs off STDs? Then, like Eileen Duffy, you may want to consider switching health care providers. "We live in an age where a woman can't assume she's not at risk," says Amy Allina, program director for the National Women's Health Network. "There are life-threatening STDs out there, and protecting your life should be something that your health care provider is concerned about."

Newborn screening tests look for developmental, genetic, and metabolic disorders in the newborn baby. This allows steps to be taken before symptoms develop. Most of these illnesses are very rare, but can be treated if caught early.
The types of newborn screening tests that are done vary from state to state. Most states require three to eight tests. Some organizations such as the March of Dimes and the American College of Medical Genetics suggest more than two dozen additional tests.
The most thorough screening panel checks for about 40 disorders. All 50 states screen for
In addition to the newborn screening blood test, a hearing screen is recommended for all newborns.
Alternative Names
Infant screening tests; Neonatal screening tests; The PKU test
How the Test is Performed
Screenings are done using the following methods:
- Blood tests: A few drops of blood are taken from the baby's heel. The blood is sent to a lab for analysis.
Hearing test: A health care provider will place a tiny earpiece or microphone in the infant's ear. Another method uses electrodes that are put on the baby's head while the baby is quiet or asleep.
How to Prepare for the Test
There is no preparation needed for newborn screening tests. The tests are done when the baby is between 24 hours and 7 days old. Most of the time, screens are done before the baby goes home from the hospital.
How the Test Will Feel
The baby will most likely cry when his or her heel is pricked to get the blood sample. Studies have shown that babies whose mothers hold them skin-to-skin or breastfeed them during the procedure show less distress. Wrapping the baby tightly in a blanket, or offering a pacifier dipped in sugar water, may also help ease pain and calm the baby.
The hearing test should not cause the baby to feel pain, cry, or respond.
Why the Test is Performed
Screening tests do not diagnose illnesses. They show which babies need more testing to confirm or rule out illnesses.
If follow-up testing confirms that the child has a disease, treatment can be started, before symptoms appear.
Screening tests are used to detect a number of disorders. Some of these include:
- Amino acid metabolism disorders
- Biotinidase deficiency
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Congenital hypothyroidism
Cystic fibrosis
- Fatty acid metabolism disorders
- Galactosemia
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD)
- Human immunodeficiency disease (HIV)
- Organic acid metabolism disorders
- Sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathy disorders and traits
- Toxoplasmosis
Normal Values
Normal values for each screening test may vary depending on how the test is performed.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal result means that the child should have additional testing to confirm or rule out the condition.
What the Risks Are
Risks for the newborn heel prick blood sample include pain and possible bruising at the site where the blood was obtained.
Special Considerations
Newborn testing is critical for the baby to receive treatment. Treatment may be lifesaving. However, not all disorders that can be detected can be treated.
Although states do not perform all screening tests, parents can have other tests done at large medical centers. Private labs also offer newborn screening. Parents can find out about extra newborn screening tests from their doctor or the hospital where the baby is born. Groups like the March of Dimes also offer screening test resources.

Craigslist is known worldwide for their classifieds for just about anything - from toys to furniture. With a few simple clicks and an email address, anyone can post wanted and 'for sale' items. However, everyone needs to be aware and distinguish valid and scam posts in Craigslist.
Search and browse within your own city or state limits. This will give you and the seller the opportunity to meet in person.
Try all attempts to exchange in person instead of mailing money. Unlike E-Bay, Craigslist is not responsible of transaction mishaps. This means, if you send money to someone, you can't report it to Craigslist if you don't receive the item that you were paying for. Any reference to Craigslist that says "buyer protection" or "certified seller" is bogus.
Insist on cash. Fake checks and money orders are common, and banks will hold you - not the seller - responsible. Never wire money to anyone under any circumstances. Most payments made by wire transfer are fraudulent.
Prioritize posts with pictures over text-only posts. If you are interested in a non-image post or would like more details, contact the poster but do not make any offers until you are fully satisfied. If they don't get back to you, look for something else.
Have some knowledge of what the item's average price is. This is more common for renting an apartment or buying a car over Craigslist. If you're not sure, browse through newspaper classifieds, other Craigslist posts, use the Kelley Blue Book for vehicles, or ask friends for a reasonable price range for that specific item.

Prologue | Turn 1 | Turns 2 and 3 | Turn 4 | Turn 5 | Turn 6 | Turn 7
Eventful turn this time around - I don't think I've ever rolled so many crits in a single turn before! It's like all the d6es forgot about 2 through 5, I might as well have just been flipping crit coins.
IVasscus uses spider gymnastix to scale the side of the drawbridge and plant his explosive on the drawbridge mechanisms.
CATAPULT OPERATOR: What the - !
IVasscus couldn't stay hidden forever. The catapult operator spots him planting the bomb.
IVasscus uses his last half-inch of movement to hop off the drawbridge; that explosive is going off at the end of the turn! He takes no damage from the fall because spider gymnastix.
CATAPULT OPERATOR: Alarm! Everybody! It's another one of those jellybean knights!
Meanwhile, Stalin has lost his sword and is pissed about the way the fight is going, so he grabs the guard's axe and uses it to hurl the guard at the war carriage.
KABLAM! The second explosive was still on the back of the carriage, and the flying guard hits it axe-first and sets it off!
A high roll on the explosion die means the carriage is completely wrecked. The wreckage collapses into the river, pulling out the guards' shitty wall repair in the process. The two guards go flying. One lands directly in front of Stalin, the other lands on the defensive spikes lining the embankment over by IVasscus. Despite getting exploded at point blank range, neither suffers any damage.
The imprisoned Dogdu sees the explosion from his cage dangling over a lava-filled caldera.
DOGDU: sweet
Trotsky is waiting for the VladTron forces to lower the drawbridge, so he delays his turn.
The disrupted guard in front of Stalin hops back up and takes a swing with the axe.
Once again the dice are against Stalin in a ridiculous way. The guard gets the crit for overskill damage; Stalin crit-fails his attempt to parry with the shield, and drops it. It clatters down the ramp to join the sword at the bottom. Stalin crit-fails the armor roll as well, and goes down!
DOGDU: wait that sucks
Since this is a story game, Stalin is K.O.'ed rather than killed, and will be imprisoned with Dogdu in the deathtrap cage unless someone manages to rescue him.
The guard next to IVasscus hops up and attacks him as well. He misses with the axe, and IVasscus responds with a crit success on the counterattack. The overskill die lets IVasscus overcome the guard's Armored status with a solid 7 points of damage.
But what's this? Not even a scratch! The guard is completely immune to damage!
IVasscus: fuck
The defenders on the wall grab their spears and crossbows and start firing away at IVasscus. All the attacks hit, except for one spear which hits the guard instead (still immune to damage though, so nothing happens). Only one of the attacks gets overskill, but the damage roll is too low to take IVasscus down this time.
The drawbridge is lowered and the mounted VladTron knights rush forth. Quickly taking in the situation, they see that Stalin is already toast and they're going to have a hard time getting their horses onto the near bank in order to confront IVasscus.
MOUNTED KNIGHT: There's another one! We need meat shields! I mean foot soldiers!
CATAPULT OPERATOR: I can take care of that jellybean in a single move!
WALL NINJA: No you fool!
As expected, the catapult attack misses IVasscus completely and hits the mounted knights instead.
The knights are scattered in all directions, and one of the drawbridge chains is destroyed.
Unlike the guards, the mounted knights are not invulnerable to damage. The lead knight is killed, and his horse receives one wound. The second knight and horse make their armor rolls and are unharmed, but are knocked off the drawbridge onto the spikes below (no damage, thanks to their heavy armor). One of the rear horses receives a wound; both of them are knocked back into the castle gateway. All the horses and knights are set on fire.
CATAPULT OPERATOR: uhhh
WALL NINJA: You idiot!
The foot squads inside the fortress run to the main gate. They can't exit yet because the mounted knights are still in the way.
Meanwhile, Trotsky sees his opportunity to escape forming.
Trotsky sees his chance! He shoves one of the guards aside. The other guard holding him immediately hits Trotsky with the axe, but doesn't do enough damage to wound him; Trotsky counters with another successful shove (he gets two shoves thanks to having four legs to shove with).
Trotsky dashes out the newly-reopened hole in the wall. It's a grim sight: Stalin is defeated and the whole place is completely trashed.
Now that Stalin is out for the count, Silent-Sigfig can now give orders directly to Trotsky instead.
I almost forgot that explosive was still up there! KABOOM
The drawbridge mechanism is destroyed, along with one of the doors. That drawbridge isn't going up any time soon.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE ACCOMPLISHED: Make sure the drawbridge is down for King MethHouse's attack
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE PENDING: Escape alive!
Ready for turn 6 orders for IVasscus and Trotsky!

Empty Bowl kicks off holiday drive for Salado Family Relief
Salado area potters and restaurants are teaming up for the Empty Bowl Project to benefit the Salado Family Relief Fund 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Nov. 10 at the Salado Civic Center on Main Street.
For just $15, you can purchase a handmade bowl by area potters, fill it with soup provided by area restaurants and help support the Salado Family Relief Fund. You can have all-you-can-eat soup for just $10 per person.
Local potter Titia Arledge, of Mud Pies Pottery, is working with potters from around the state to provide the handmade pottery bowls for the event. Some groups have made their own bowls during class sessions at Mud Pies in October.
One of those groups is a collection of friends that gathered Oct. 2 to celebrate editor Tim Fleischer's 46th birthday by making bowls and enjoying each other's company.
"The Salado Family Relief Fund and the Empty Bowl are very dear to us," Fleischer said. "I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday than making bowls for this event. I plan on getting there early to buy my bowl and add it to our growing collection."
Attendees get to select handmade bowls as keepsakes and fill up on soup provided by local restaurants and B & B's. Participating restaurants are these: Roy T's, Cathy's Boardwalk Café, Adelea's on Main, Johnny's, Stagecoach Inn, Inn at Salado, Brownings Café, McCain's Bakery and Café, Stone Creek Settlement, Inn on the Creek, Baines House, Salado Pizza Place and The Salado Patio.
The Empty Bowl Project comes at a great time for the Salado Family Relief Fund, according to President Mary Catherine Ervin.
The SFRF is working to supply Christmas presents to more than 50 families in the Salado area, comprised of more than 150 children.
Salado Family Relief will again be managing the Christmas Project, whereby qualified families will be presented with with toys and gifts for Christmas.
"We cannot do this without the generosity of our community," said Renee Oas, a board member of the Salado Family Relief Fund and director of the Christmas project.
If you would like to "adopt" a child or family for Christmas, email Oas at email@example.com or call her at 947-9471 for details.
All the gifts will be distributed in early December at the Presbyterian Church of Salado.
"Thank you for making Christmas possible for those less fortunate," Oas said.
The annual Christmas drive began in the mid 90s. "I heard of a couple of school teachers and volunteers who were gathering things for kids in the schools. Dana Britt and the late Mary Ribeiro were doing this on their own for a long time without much help," founding president Marilyn Fleischer said of the beginnings of the Family Relief Fund.
The first year that the Fund began to take shape, collections of used toys and clothes were gathered at the fire station. "It was discouraging sifting for hours through used toys that were broken or should have been thrown away," she said.
The Fund continued its work at Christmas, but changed gears when the tornado ripped through Jarrell, causing such devastation to that small community. "We solicited and took donations for relief efforts in Jarrell, which was when we changed the name of the group to Salado Family Relief Fund," Fleischer said. "We collected several thousand dollars for those victims."
At that point, Fleischer said she realized it was time to organize the group formally. "We invited all of the churches and civic groups in Salado to join us in forming this organization," she said.
Since forming more than almost two decades ago, the Fund has helped families in the area in a variety of ways, including temporary assistance for medicines, rent, clothing, food and other necessities. "We never give out cash," saiad Mary Catherine Ervin, longtime board member and President of the SFRF, "but we will always try to work to find a solution or a way we can help."
The Fund has established a school supply bank at the school, administered by the Communities in Schools. The Fund also ensures that children get a hot meal at school by working with cafeteria staff.
In addition to the annual Christmas drive, the SFRF also sponsors an annual Back-to-School drive in which families are given vouchers for clothing and school supplies only that are valid at a local Wal-Mart. The SFRF works with the Wal-Mart to ensure that only back-to-school clothing and supplies are purchased.
None of these projects would be possible without the support of local churches, civic groups, school groups and individuals who give of their time and money each year.
Civic groups, church groups and school groups are encouraged to do adopt a family or a child during the Christmas drive.
The SFRF protects the identity of the children receiving the gifts. No groups or individuals will know the names of the children they have agreed to adopt.
If you would like to adopt a family, or a single child, or make a monetary donation, contact Ervin at 947-8230 or via email at email@example.com.

Terrorism is a violent act committed by people who want to get attention for their cause. When a terrorist strikes, it seems like the entire world is upside down and confusing. It's hard to believe what's happened or that someone would do something like that.
Acts of terrorism have been a reality in many places for years. In the United States, the worst attacks happened on September 11, 2001. In the years that followed, other attacks also happened in Spain, London, and elsewhere.
Terrorism scares everyone because no one knows when or where it will take place. So how do you cope with it all? Here are some things you can do:

When we say we test our parts we weren't playing around. We took one of our Wrangler projects to Batlground Engineering for dyno testing. Batlground is one of the hottest motorsport shops in the southeast known for their drag racing and drifting. Almost new this 2009 Jeep Wrangler 4dr, with 1600 miles, got our Rugged Ridge ORV 4″ Lift Kit and our Black Rugged Ridge Wheels with machined lip wrapped in 35″ Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar provided by TreaDepot.com before we did the test. So depending on application and wheel/tire package your numbers could vary. If you have a newer JK Wrangler with 3.8L you know the motor is a dog and when you add an offroad wheel/tire package it just gets worse. So we wanted to know exactly how much wheel power we were putting to the ground and what performance gains we could expect from our intake/exhaust.

Hi Folks--
Just a little news about the No Impact Project, the non-profit effort I started to help people to become engaged citizens through both lifestyle change and community and national political involvement (from both sides of the aisle).
1. We are looking for a program associate. The job description is below and on Idealist. Please follow directions below to apply.
2. We are also always looking for interns and volunteers. The type of work we have includes elements of what is in the job description below. People who help out are often able to get credits from their college or a good resume boost. If you're interested, please send your resume to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Program Associate at the No Impact Project
The No Impact Project is looking for a New York City based, talented and motivated college graduate with two to five years work experience in event production, fund raising and/or non-profit management. This is a 20 to 30 hour a week position that could ultimately become full time. You will work closely with and report to Colin Beavan (aka No Impact Man) to raise funds, execute program logistics, and help to build interest in all of our programs including No Impact Weeks, our Eco Leadership retreats and more.
The No Impact Project was founded in 2009 by Colin Beavan (No Impact Man), following the success of his blog, book, and Sundance-selected film, which chronicle his experiment in living a zero-waste lifestyle in New York City. We have reached millions of people with our programs, including the No Impact Week, an engaging and fun weeklong carbon cleanse that gives participants the opportunity to experience a low impact living experiment of their own.
Program Associate Duties and Responsibilities
This is an excellent position for someone with great organizational, administrative, communication and writing skills who likes the idea of working independently and having a lot of responsibility early in their career.
The No Impact Project takes a fun, love-filled, and slightly unconventional approach to its work and its mission. We partner regularly with much larger environmental organizations so you would have frequent interaction with other parts of the non-profit world.
Because we are small, we have the flexibility to try new things as long as they fulfill our mission and are fulfilling to all involved. We are not a bricks and mortar organization. We work from our homes, cafes and other pleasant meeting places and stay in regular contact by phone, Skype and regular meetings.
Our mission is to combine various forms of media and entertainment with educational programs in order to engage regular citizens in the quest for a way of life that is both better for people and better for the planet. Our methodology is to move people along a path from passive concern, to personal/lifestyle change to community and political engagement (from both sides of the aisle).
Areas of responsibility will include:
● Program-related research, development, and execution
● Communications and marketing
● Event planning
● Grant proposal research and writing
● Social media and technology project development
● Administrative duties
● College graduate
● Resident of New York City or surrounding area
● Excellent writing and communications skills
● Strong interpersonal skills
● Previous experience in event planning or program management
● Highly organized and detail oriented
● Interest in environmental and sustainability issues
● Ability to work independently and take initiative
● Confident, good sense of humor, creative thinker (all requirements!)
As most of our work is done via telephone and internet, the position is mostly virtual. It will begin as a part time consultant, with the potential to become full time staff. We are looking to start the Program Associate immediately. Applications are due by April 18th, 2011.
Colin Beavan (that's me!) is now leading a conversation about finding a happy, helpful life at Colinbeavan.com. If you want to know how people are breaking out and and finding authentic, meaningful lives that help our world, check it out the blog here and sign up to join the conversation here.

French Riots: Plan Engineered by Globalists
France erupts as rampant immigration reaps its vengeance
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | November 8 2005
These riots are all part of the Globalists' divide and conquer strategy to get the populations of sovereign nations to accept global government.
The intention is plain and simple: seperate the tribes along racial, religous, and ethnic lines and set them off against each other. When a terrorist act might be too obvious, riots are the next best thing. Both accomplish the same goal of getting people stirred up, frightened and most of all to make otherwise clear-minded poeple willing to submit their liberties to the state in trade for "protection."
All of this is a device to broaden the police state to be used against the general public.
And just watch, these events will only lead to increased immigration into the country just like in the United States.
The world watches in trepidation as the wildfires of chaos sweep from France across Europe. We are witnessing the fruits of globalization. Rampant unchecked immigration policies and the enforced fusion of multiculturalism form the backbone of the New World Order's systematic purge of the sleeping middle class.
Empires that have historically dominated and conquered the barbarians will one day wake up to find the barbarians are at the gates.
A sizeable proportion of the secular humanist Westerners who like to think of themselves as part of the establishment, when in reality they are unwitting tools of the true elite, have bought into the cuddly utopian philosophy that the West is a global village which welcomes all comers and has the enlightened innate ability to homogenize millions of different people of all different colors and creeds into one giant melting pot.
The reality couldn't be further from the truth and images of flaming buses, schools, nurseries, terror and panic betray that fact.
The mainly Algerian Muslims causing the chaos hate the country that has afforded them a greater living standard than their birthplace ever could. They have been programmed from day one to believe that the West owes them big time, and this is only abetted by the establishment media and the liberal hierarchy in France.
Politicians and media mouthpieces have towed the rhetoric that somehow the state's ignorance of these individuals and their lack of care in providing them with adequate housing, health care and employment is the cause of the rebellion.
That in itself highlights the crux of the problem. The immigrants think the State owes them a living and are prepared to act as leeches and suck off all they can get with no return. The burden always falls on the middle class. France's six million strong Muslim population and its insane mass immigration policies is why French taxes are the highest in Europe.
The melting pot of multiculturalism does not work, it has never worked and it was never intended to work. The Algerians in France do not want to be part of the Western fabric because they fundamentally hate it to its very core. This is not helped by promotion of decadent and hedonistic lifestyles pumped out from every cultural and media orifice.
Pat Buchanan's analysis of this process makes for an excellent auderve
but it fails to address the overarching source of the chaos.
The real power behind the clash of civilizations lies with Globalists, in whose interest it is to foment race wars. Their vision of the Western world can best be described as a corporate fascist high tech slave plantation, with all the proles packed into high rise compact cities. The middle class simply won't exist.
But how will the corporate fascists make their money? The real money will not be made under the pretense of a free-market economy, but in the areas of police state security and prison complexes and in addition bombing broken-backed third world countries then rebuilding them with no-bid contract cronyism.
Besides, the Globalists print the money and can manipulate the phony fiat money system at whim.
The character of the riots was shaped and clarified today when a leader of the Aztlan movement in the U.S. said it was only a matter of time before similar unrest hit the streets of America.
Aztlan and Mecha groups advocate killing all whites and blacks and driving them out of the southern states by means of brutal ethnic cleansing. Flags and placards carried at marches depict white people having their heads cut off, as seen in the picture below.
Those that protest such groups are then attacked by the establishment media and labeled as racists, despite the fact that the Plan of San Diego, a rallying cry for the Hispanic Klan groups, advocates total eradication of any race but Hispanics.
Mecha's own slogan reads, "For the race everything. For those outside the race, nothing."
Mexican owned radio stations erect giant billboards in Los Angeles claiming the city belongs to Mexico, as seen below.
Mainstream Hispanics who love America abhor the virulent racism that the Mexican Klan groups embrace.
And who bankrolls these pocket radicals? Billionaire tax-exempt foundations and NGO's owned by white men. Organizations like the Ford Foundation, groups who are zealous in their quest to eliminate the middle class and destroy America, turning it into a cashless society, compact city, surveillance control grid where only two tiers of society exist - the elite and the poor slaves.
Every major minority movement throughout history has been infiltrated and steered by the elite in an attempt to obtain these objectives.
The elite want us to be at each others throats while they dominate over the downtrodden and befuddled warring tribes. Race is the ultimate touchstone hot button issue and the Globalists have enacted policies of rampant uncontrolled immigration in order to force hostile cultures to intermingle. The outcome is always tribal warfare, as we saw in Bosnia and Kosovo and as we now witness unfolding in France.
On the other side of the equation Paul Harvey, a veteran radio host some consider to be the conscience of America, recently applauded black slavery and biological warfare and urged its reintroduction in Iraq. Harvey stated,
"Once upon a time, we elbowed our way onto and into this continent by giving small pox infected blankets to native Americans.
Yes, that was biological warfare!
And we used every other weapon we could get our hands on to grab this land from whomever. And we grew prosperous.
And, yes, we greased the skids with the sweat of slaves."
This kind of puerile nonsense only encourages the pocket radicals to think they're fighting the American Empire, when in fact it is the Empire itself that is using the radicals to dismantle the middle class.
The riots take place with the backdrop of draconian terror legislation being debated in the British and Australian Parliaments. Support for the new powers will only only increase as the turmoil drags on and the authorities prostrate themselves before the public, feigning weakness in order to justify greater control.
The biggest selling newspaper in Britain, the Sun, carried a photo of a bloodied man on its front page with the headline, Terror Laws: Tell Tony He's Right'. The picture was actually a London bombing victim but any passer-by would have easily mistook the man for a victim of the French riots. Thus reinforcing the belief that crime is terror and in times of strife, terror laws can be applied in either case.
The state of emergency and curfews that are now in place in France are exactly the kind of response we expected from a government that has only succeeded in fueling the flames of this anarchy. Criminals do not obey laws. These laws will only impact ordinary law-abiding people. Are people who are willing to set innocent women on fire going to take any notice of a curfew?
France is now reaping the whirlwind of warnings unheeded and a laissez faire attitude of trusting a government that, despite mock opposition to the war in Iraq, is a central pillar of the New World Order.
Jean-Marie Le Pen was the subject of a worldwide demonization campaign back in 2002 when he was called a racist and a threat to 'democracy' after he ran on a platform of sensible immigration control. The real reason behind Le Pen's pariah status could be found in the mandate of his own manifesto, which said that under his authority France would not be a part of the New World Order.
The hysteria of the time looks foolish now that France is in the grip of what some are calling the biggest threat to its peace since world war two.
Take a bow, Globalization. The gnashing jaws of world government have once again provided us an example of what life will be like in the New World Order. We must resist it now more than ever to prevent the chaos of France repeating in our cities and demolishing our very way of life.

The body's cardiovascular, or circulatory, system is made of the heart, blood, and blood vessels (arteries and veins).
Heart and vascular services refers to the branch of medicine that focuses on the cardiovascular system.
Alternative Names
Circulatory system; Vascular system; Cardiovascular system
The heart's main job is to pump oxygen-rich blood to the body. It normally does this 60 – 100 times a minute, 24 hours a day.
The heart is made of four chambers:
- The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body. That blood then flows into the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs.
- The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs. From there, the blood flows into the left ventricle, which pumps blood out of the heart to the rest of the body.
Together, the arteries and veins are referred to as the vascular system. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart.
The cardiovascular system delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other important substances to cells and organs in the body. It plays an important role in helping the body meet the demands of activity, exercise, and stress, and also helps maintain body temperature, among other things.
Cardiovascular medicine refers to the branch of health care that specializes in the treatment of diseases or conditions dealing with the heart and vascular systems.
Common disorders include:
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Congenital heart defects
Coronary artery disease, including angina and heart attack Heart failure
- Heart valve problems
- High blood pressure and high cholesterol
- Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
Peripheral artery disease(PAD)
- Stroke
Physicians involved in the treatment of circulatory or vascular diseases include:
- Cardiologists, doctors who have received extra training in the treatment of heart disorders
- Vascular surgeons, doctors who have received extra training in heart and blood vessel surgery
- Cardiac and thoracic surgeons, doctors who have received extra training in heart-related surgery and pacemaker implantation
- Primary care doctors
Other health care providers who are involved in the treatment of circulatory or vascular diseases include:
- Nurse practitioners (NPs) or physician assistants (PAs), who focus on heart and vascular diseases
- Nutritionists or dietitians
- Nurses who receive special training in the management of patients with these disorders
Imaging tests that may be done to diagnose, monitor, or treat diseases of the circulatory and vascular system include:
Cardiac CTfor calcium scoring Cardiac MRI Coronary angiography
- CT angiography (CTA) and
magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) Echocardiogram PET scan of the heart
- Stress tests (many different types exist)
- Vascular ultrasound, such as
carotid ultrasound
- Venous ultrasound of the arms and legs
Minimally invasive procedures may be done to diagnose, monitor, or treat diseases of the heart and vascular system.
In most of these types of procedures, a catheter is inserted through the skin into a large blood vessel. Such procedures usually do not need
Such procedures include:
- Ablation therapy to treat cardiac arrhythmias
- Angioplasty (using a small balloon to open a narrowing in a blood vessel) with or without stent placement
- Cardiac catheterization
- Measuring pressures in and around the heart
Heart surgery may be needed to treat certain heart or blood vessel problems. This may include:
- Heart transplant
- Insertion of pacemakers or defibrillators
- Open and minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery
- Repair or replacement of heart valves
- Surgical treatment of congenital heart defects
Vascular surgery refers to procedures that are used to treat or diagnose a blockage in a blood vessel. Such procedures include:
- Arterial bypass grafts
- Endarterectomies
- Repair of aneurysms of the aorta and its branches
Procedures may also be used to treat arteries that supply the brain, kidneys, intestines, arms and legs.
Cardiac rehabilitation is therapy used to prevent heart disease from getting worse. It is usually recommended after major heart-related events such as a heart attack or cardiac surgery. It may include:
- Cardiovascular risk assessments
- Health screenings and wellness exams
- Nutrition and lifestyle counseling, including smoking cessation and diabetes education
- Supervised exercise

SPOKANE - The Washington Farm Bureau has given Sen. Jim Honeyford its 2007 Legislator of the Year Award in recognition of his "outstanding contributions for strengthening the family farm."
This is the second time the Sunnyside lawmaker has received the honor.
Honeyford accepted the award at the Farm Bureau's 88th annual meeting in Spokane.
"I am pleased and honored to receive this award for my work on legislation to improve right-to- farm laws and support for agricultural families," said Honeyford, a former Sunnyside City councilman and educator. "Farming represents the largest employer in Washington, and I want to make certain farmers are getting the support they need from the state."
During the 2007 legislative session, Honeyford sponsored SB 5076, which would have helped protect a farmer's right to change what he or she decides to farm without threat of a lawsuit. In another effort to assist farming communities, Honeyford also introduced Senate Bill 5077 to exempt propane fuel sold to farmers from the retail sales and use tax.
"Senator Honeyford was one of the Farm Bureau's biggest champions on the hill last session," said Patrick Conner, the Farm Bureau's director of national affairs. "He was a primary sponsor or key secondary sponsor of most of our most important legislative items."
"If our family farms are going to survive, they need the flexibility to adapt," Honeyford said. "I will continue working with my fellow legislators to fight for common-sense reforms to help guarantee that our farming communities receive the same level of fairness and support that other industries in our state receive."
Honeyford was elected to the House of Representatives in 1994 and was elected to the Senate in 1998. He is the ranking member on the Senate Water, Energy and Telecommunications Committee.
The Washington Farm Bureau is a voluntary, grassroots advocacy organization representing the social and economic interests of farm and ranch families at the local, state and national levels.
Other Farm Bureau 2007 Legislator of the Year Award winners are Rep. Cary Condotta (R-East Wenatchee) and Rep. Joel Kretz (R-Wauconda).

To most Naruto fans, 2008's Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is the game by which all other Naruto games must be judged. Ultimate Ninja Storm featured great combat, amazing visuals, and a new mission-based format that was quite a break from the established format that had been seen in other Naruto-licensed titles. When I first started up Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, I was expecting a smart update to my favorite Naruto game. Although Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 satisfies on many levels, the sequel is a step backward for the series.
Let's start with the game's main adventure mode. As you might expect from the title, the game follows Naruto's Shippuden journey, through his big battle with Pain. Although we've been presented with the beginning of the Shippuden story before, the story is told in the most detail here and is the ultimate way to experience it in video game format (so far). The plot-based cutscenes are taken straight from the anime, and the game also includes several "bonus" scenes that give you extra insight into each character's feelings after boss battles.
Though the cinematic feel of the game's story mode is great, the new format of Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is a drawback for the story mode. One of the things I enjoyed most about the first game was the ability to free-roam around Konoha, picking up missions and talking to locals. However, that ability has been almost completely removed in Ultimate Ninja 2, and the world of Konoha has been reduced to a couple of hallways in which you can go left or right. Or up and down. Which brings me to another complaint: the camera.
Normally I wouldn't complain about the camera in the story mode of a fighting game, but because Ultimate Ninja Storm's story mode features a lot of running around in between battles, it is a major problem. When you are running around through the hallways of Konoha, the camera changes to a different fixed position every few feet. I get that the idea here was probably to make the village look less linear, but when the camera keeps changing from overhead to behind, to left-view, and then full circle to right-view, walking towards your goal (which shifts along with the camera angle) can get pretty confusing. In a game where exploring essentially means walking in a straight line, getting lost due to weird camera angles is particularly frustrating.
Fans of the Ultimate Ninja series will be glad to know that the same Ultimate Ninja battle system is in full swing here, although there have been some minor adjustments. The use of Chakra moves is more dynamic in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, and you'll have a choice of eight Chakra attacks (each face button gets both a standard and a super chakra attack), which gives you some flexibility even when your chakra is low. The combo system has also been revised, so just hammering on the attack button the same way you did in the past won't exactly cut it anymore.

Views on wines from Italy, California, Chile, Argentina and other great regions of the world from a freelance writer and photographer

Albariño at its Best
I spent Tuesday in New York City, attending the annual Portfolio tasting of Domaine Select Wine Estates, one of the country's finest wine importers. My main interest is with the Italian estates they represent, which includes names such as J. Hofstatter; Massolino; Fontanafredda; Gravner; Vodopivec; Corte Sant'Alda and Il Palazzone, to name only a few. Given this stellar lineup, I try and make sure my calendar is clear each year so I can attend this tasting.
But as they also represent some great small estates in France, Spain, Chile and Germany (as well as a few other countries), the Domaine Select tasting becomes for me almost an embarrassment of riches. Here was my opportunity to taste some artisan wines from around the world, so I did my best to sample as many products as I could. I'll write about a few of these producers in upcoming posts; today, I am sharing my thoughts on Zarate, an amazing producer of Albariño.
Bodegas Zarate, is among the oldest of family growers of Albariño grapes in Galicia in the Rías Baixas district in far northwestern region of Galicia in Spain. The examples of Albariño from this district, along with some excellent examples from Portugal (where the grape is known as Alvarinho) have elevated this variety into one of the finest in the world, capable of producing a wine that can be anything from a delightful aromatic white, ideal for early consumption to that of a mouth-filling white wine that is capable of improving with 5-7 years of age. The wines from Zarate are, as a group, not only the finest collection of Albariños I have tasted, but one of the most impressive groupings of white wine I've found from anywhere. These are white wines that have brilliant varietal purity, but even more importantly, possess a certain personality that I'd have to best describe as "soul". These wines are the result of meticulously farmed hillside vineyards along with exceptional work in the cellar from a team led by winemaker Eulogio Pomares.
Here are notes on the four bottlings of Zarate Albariño that I tasted:
2009 Albariño
Bright pear and lemon fruit; medium-full, with snappy acidity and a light minerality. Very good complexity and structure- enjoy over the next 2-3 years; pair with shellfish or lighter poultry dishes. ($24)
2007 Albariño "Tras de Viña"
Hints of almond in the aromas along with fresh pears; medium-full, this has vibrant acidity, distinct minerality and excellent persistence. This should drink well for 5-7 years and as it has more weight than this regular bottling, can stand up to roast pork or lighter veal preparations. ($30)
2007 Albariño "Palomar"
This wine is quite unique for several reasons. First, the vineyard used to source the grapes for this wine is 120 years old, which makes it the oldest vineyard in Rías Baixas. Secondly, the wine is barrel fermented, an unusual practice for Albariño.
I prefer no oak aging for this variety, so I was delighted to note that the wood was a supporting player in this wine; the aromatics continued to dazzle along with the outstanding depth of fruit. This is a massive Albariño, but never over the top or heavy. There are notes of dried pear along with chervil and the finish is quite long. The wine has vibrant acidity and superb structure and freshness and should drink well for another 7-10 years. Truly an exceptional wine! ($45)
2009 Albariño "Balado"
This is a barrel sample of a wine that is from a "clos", a walled vineyard. This wine is made only in the finest years; the 2009 is the first since the 2006 and only 1000 bottles were produced. Along with fresh pear and mango aromas, there is a note of saffron; quite rich on the palate, this has an exotic oiliness and lushness. Vibrant acidity and excellent persistence. Delicious now, but wait on this wine- probably best in 5-7 years, although it may drink well for a few additional years. ($45)

Hey Tom,ReplyDelete
It was great to catch up with you in New York on Tuesday. I really enjoyed these wines as well, particularly the "basic" '09 bottling and the two '07s. The first showed classic liveliness, versatility and drinkability while the two more elaborate cuvées showed serious grace and agility in spite of their concentration and, as you say, without displaying any obvious oak signature.
Definitely a producer I'll watch out for in the future.
Thanks. I love Albariño, so what a treat to discover this producer. Glad you liked them as well.

That's a good thing to know about scars. Perhaps this'll tell you why...
Eric: Ratchet, those scars you have...
Brian: ...
Eric: They're not combat scars, aren't they?
Brian: They are, it's just that I got them from my early combat assignments before I got transfered to Alpha.
Eric: And did you stay back and provide support back then?
Brian: ...
Eric: The soldiers on the battlefield who get the least amount of injuries are those who stay back and provide support.
Brian: ...
Eric: And there's no way you got those from your first assignments, especially while staying back providing support.
Brian: [Flashbacks from his childhood began to flare in his mind]
Girl 1: Oh, come on. We're just getting started~
Brian: [Body begins to quiver a bit]
Girl 2: Take this! [Whip cracks] And this! [Whip cracks]
Brian: Grr... [Squats down and gips his body, still quivering]
Girl 3: Yeah, that's it! Ride him, sis!
Girl 2: Grab the reigns and ride him like there's no tomorrow!
Brian: [Mutters] No...
Eric: Ratchet? [Approaches Ratchet]
Brain: No...
Eric: Ratchet? [Attempts to place hand on Ratchet's right shoulder]
Brian: NO! [Pushes Hot Shot away]
Eric: [!] ...
Brian: ...
[A few minutes of silence later]
Brian: [Shakes his head] Uh...
Eric: Ratchet?...
Brian: [Sighs and gets up] Sorry, Hot Shot... I don't want to talk about it. It's too personal... [Exits the sleeping quarters]

Rong didn't even know about that logic yet. All he noticed was that the AD was not present and he just dispatched them as he would normally. Though normally such moves wouldn't result in machine gore cuz of the AD O.O

Indeed Golem doesn't have absolute defense, true glass cannon on the works, this is mostly because the lack of human operator (or at least, I and Age think so). Actually, the first machine gore was inflicted by Ichika, core damage was accidental.
Only the version III have meaningful armor, that I.S. weapon has problem penetrating them (which is why the main protagonist resort to first option, destroying the core). All thanks to Houki's stupid decision for aiming the arm instead of torso

reverse logic. Tabane first tried to kill Rong with AD armed IS XD
The canon crew is surprised when he mentions the first time he fought them they had AD on.
Wait... wasn't the core retrieved during that one incident with the golems? Doesn't that indicate AD since it clearly wasn't shooting off enough to actually drain out its supply? Or was Ichika's one hit able to compromise the whole frame?

- What are the titles and URLs of your genealogy blog/s? I have this one, You Are Where You Came From, at http://whereyoucamefrom.blogspot.com/, and help my husband with his letters blog, The Gleasue Letters, at http://gleasureharberletters.blogspot.com/.
- Do you have a wonderful "Cousin Bait" blog story? A link to a previous blog post might answer this question. This is definitely my best Cousin Bait story: http://whereyoucamefrom.blogspot.com/2011/11/serendipity-visit-to-old-homestead.html
- Why did you start blogging? Is there someone who inspired you to start blogging? I started blogging to share our family history with my relatives, and this was originally a private blog for their eyes only. When I realized how little interest most of my family had in ever reading it, though, I opened it to the public and found a wider audience.
- How did you decide on your blog/s title/s? I heard it somewhere, or made it up, or something. I've since come to regret it - it's too much of a mouthful, but it's too late to change it.
- Do you ever blog from mobile devices? What are they? Nope.
- How do you let others know when you have published a new post? I usually share posts on Google+ these days. I occasionally share them on Facebook, if I think a post would be of interest to a larger audience than just other genealogists.
- How long have you been blogging? I'm approaching my 5th anniversary.
- What widgets or elements do you consider essential on a genealogy blog? I'm not sure I consider anything "essential" beyond the ability to post and comment.
- What is the purpose of your blog/s? Who is your intended audience? The real purpose is to give me a place to analyze and interpret my research in ways I might not if I didn't have an outlet/know it would be public. That, and serving as "cousin bait," of course.
- Which of your posts are you particularly proud of? A couple from the past couple years that I particularly enjoy are On Serendipity, and Obstinately Ignoring Conflicting Evidence, and NYC Hurricane History: A Ruinous Gale, which I wrote during last year's Hurricane Sandy.
- How do you keep up with your blog reading? Not well. I never got into the habit of using a feed reader, and usually keep up best with what other people share publicly, particularly on Google+.
- What platform do you use for publishing your blog/s? Blogger.
- What new features would you like to see in your blogging software? I'm not sure, I've never really given it much thought.
- Which of your posts has been the most popular with readers? Apparently that is also On Serendipity, and Obstinately Ignoring Conflicting Evidence.
- Are you a sole blogger or do you contribute to a shared blog? I'm a sole blogger, though as I said, I also help my husband with his letters blog.
- How do you compose your blog posts? Slowly. It takes me forever to put together a post that I think is worth publishing, especially lately.
- Do you have any blogs that are not genealogy related? If you wish please share their titles and URLs. I have a gardening blog called How Does Your Urban Garden Grow? at http://howdoesyoururbangardengrow.blogspot.com/
- Have you listed your blog/s at Geneabloggers? Yes.
- Which resources have helped you with your blogging? I'm sure there are many, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
- What advice would you give to a new Geneablogger? Just keep writing. Even if you go through a slump - I've been through many - there's no reason not to pick back up again when you do have the time or the inclination to write.

You didn't have to tell me, but I loved seeing you pick out your favorite also-ran.
I was struck by how many of the other ones reminded me of album covers from various genres and decades - no surprise that Smith works on so many tour posters. However, the final product is purely cinematic and truly beautiful.

text: We go to the gym to work up a sweat, keep our bodies and souls healthy, let out steam, and have fun. And it's the one time we don't really think about our beauty routine—who wants to be that diva with a full face of makeup on the elliptical or in spin class? But actually, we should always be beauty-conscious, though in other ways! Breaking a sweat can mean breaking out, but with proper care before and after a workout, our bodies and faces will really thank us. Here are some of our suggestions for what to keep in your gym bag, so that you are always ready for the world—no matter how many miles you just ran.

Stories about Michigan Football >>>>>> Other
In the last few weeks I've seen a disturbing trend. Someone saying they haven't watched College Gameday in years because they'd rather watch 'Thomas & Friends' with their kids on Saturday morning. Others going to weddings or rehearsal dinners and missing Michigan football because of it. What would Barwis do (WWBD) if he heard that?
The team is going through two a days and spent the entire off-season lifting and running til they puke so that when a large angry man from the other team hits them they'll hit back. Us? We fold at the mere request of someone who may or may not be willing to let us have sex with them later if we play our cards right.
In '06 I was dating a Florida State grad when she got two tickets to one of their home games. It was still about 6 weeks away and she asked me if I wanted to go. My response of "I need to see who Michigan is playing first" may or may not have lead to the breakup one week later, but I did get to see Michigan play that game and that's what's really important.
Tell me I'm not the only one who has done something like that, restore my faith in the Michigan fan base, anyone else have a story?

I am newer to cycling, my wife and I went to the local store and picked up a couple of Trek FX bikes. We figured we would use them to get out of the house from time to time and ride on the local trails. I needed a way to get the bikes home and around town so the very helpful staff recommended the Yakima super joe pro. I went for the 3 bike version in case a friend or family memeber wanted to come along. Wow I'm impressed with how easy it is to install and remove and how sturdy it is with 3 bikes on it. It was a little tricky getting all the pedals and handlebars aligned with 3 bikes but in under 10 mins the rack was installed on our car and all 3 bikes were safetly stowed and ready for our trip. The rack and bikes stay safetly attached to the vehicle, I didn't notice any movement of the bikes or rack. This has included highway speeds, gravel drives and everything in between. Only had the bikes and rack about 2 weeks but the quality seems very good. Lastly I am very happy I went with this rack over another option as this has rubber straps which hold the bikes in place very well. The other model we looked at had plastic straps and I fear they would have let the bikes move around a bit more. Happy with my purchase on the truck rack.
