Inside the small and large intestines, there exists a world of friendly, microscopic bacteria. These bacteria help protect the lining of the intestinal walls from inflammation, help with nutrient absorption and support stool formation for daily elimination, but they also do much more for our bodies. Due to the complexity of the digestive system, we have large parts of the immune and nervous system that are contained within our intestinal tissue. As a result, probiotics help support immune health and even mental health. Though general wear and tear and irregular bowel movements, these bacteria can be depleted. Fortunately, this healthy bacteria can be supplemented into your diet.
InVite®'s Flora Hx® probiotic supplement a offers an effectively balanced supplement, including Lactobacillus Acidophillus Complex (6 billion), which flourish in the small intestine, and Lactobacillus Bifidus Complex (6 billion) that thrive in the large intestine. We also include FOS, a Polysaccharide Probiotic derived from Chicory Inulin that acts as food for the probiotics; this allows the good bacteria to thrive, thereby increasing their survival and numbers.

If warm weather leaves you sniffling, "good" bacteria may one day provide relief. New research shows that Probiotic bacteria, the healthy bacteria that should be present in everyone's intestines, can alter the body's immune response to grass pollen – a common cause of seasonal allergic rhinitis, or hay fever. The landmark study published in Clinical and Experimental Allergy suggests that in the future, these "good" bacteria (commonly referred to as Probiotics), may potentially offer a treatment option to the estimated 35.9 million people in the U.S. who have seasonal hay fever.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria similar to those that naturally occur in the human gut and help promote a healthy digestive system. Changes in the delicate balance of intestinal bacteria have been linked to certain allergic disorders, leading scientists to theorize that Probiotics may affect the body's immune system. For the current study, researchers with the Institute of Food Researchers randomly assigned 10 volunteers to drink a daily glass of regular milk or milk containing the Probiotic Lactobacillus Casei Shirota. Lactobacillus Casei has been widely studied for its health benefits. The volunteers drank the milk each day and were followed for five months.
The research team took blood samples from each volunteer before, during, and after grass pollen season, checking for antibody levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE). If you have hay fever or other allergies, your immune system produces excessive levels of IgE in response to exposure to pollen. IgE is the body's key player in allergic reactions.
The blood tests revealed similar levels of IgE between both groups of volunteers at the start of the study. However, those who drank the Probiotic drink had significantly lower levels of IgE specific for grass pollens and other allergy-related immune substances at peak season and afterward. Therefore the Probiotic supplement reduced the allergic response.
"The Probiotic strain we tested changed the way the body's immune cells respond to grass pollen, restoring a more balanced immune response," Kamal Ivory of the division of Gastrointestinal Biology and Health at the Institute of Food Research says in a news release. "This was a pilot study based on small numbers of patients, but we were fascinated to discover a response," research leader Claudio Nicoletti says. "The Probiotic significantly reduced the production of molecules associated with allergy."
The study is published in the current issue of Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 2008; pp 1-8.
InVite's Flora Hx® Probiotic formula offers an effectively balanced supplement, including Lactobacillus Acidophilus Complex (6 billion) and Lactobacillus Bifidus Complex (6 Billion). We also include FOS, a Polysaccharide Probiotic derived from Chicory Inulin that acts as food – this allows the good bacteria to thrive, increasing their survival and numbers.

As some of you know, the ability to download full kits at once was implemented only relatively recently. Full kits require a decent number of download credits to download, and are intended to be a "bonus" for people who donate to support Pixel Scrapper: people who don't wish to donate (or don't have the resources) can download most kit items individually for free as those items are uploaded (so you really can get just about everything on this site for free--for personal or commercial use: just not all at once).
The kit pricing is done automatically: basically the computer looks at how many items are in the kit, and then discounts the price of the kit relative to the download credits required to download the items individually. We're still working on the algorithm. To this point kits have required 60% of the number of download credits it would take to download the kit items individually. This seemed like a pretty good discount... still, we really want to give back as much as we can to people who donate to support the site, and some of the kit prices seemed a bit high to us.
So today Marisa and I are reducing the download credit price of all kits by 50%. That means that every kit will now cost only 30% the number of download credits it would take to download the included items individually (in other words, a 70% discount over individual item downloads).
Please realize that this site is still in beta, and this pricing scheme may not be final: we are in the process of experimenting. As always, our goal is to be as generous as we can be while still managing not to go bankrupt from hosting and bandwidth costs.
Thanks to all of you who have supported us by donating so far (if you would like to be one of them, you can donate here)! I hope you enjoy the new kit prices

Lance Armstrong found a sport he's still allowed to compete in and played a little golf this weekend in Hawaii.
Might wanna double check his scorecard closely. Just saying ...
Lance Armstrong Target of ANOTHER Federal Investigation
Breaking News
Lance Armstrong is reportedly the target of a RENEWED federal criminal investigation connected to his rampant drug use during his cycling career ... and could face serious time in the slammer if convicted.
Just weeks after Armstrong fessed up to cheating his ass off on his way to 7 Tour de France titles, ABC News is reporting that feds are actively investigating Armstrong for obstruction, intimidation, and witness tampering.
If Lance is ultimately prosecuted -- and convicted -- a judge could sentence him to federal prison.
Multiple riders -- and other people close to Lance -- have publicly accused Armstrong of threatening them into silence over the years ... but nobody really listened until Lance went to Oprah and copped to being a jerk.
According to the report, investigators are not concerned with Armstrong's drug use so much as they are with Armstrong allegedly threatening and interfering with witnesses who could have testified against him.
It ain't the first time Lance has been investigated by the feds -- Lance was under the microscope from 2010 to 2012 following allegations of drug distribution, fraud and conspiracy -- but the investigation was dropped.
This time, Lance might not get off so easy ...
Lance Armstrong Waxed Titles Stripped at Museums
Lance Armstrong is a dirty cheater ... is what two museum displays -- originally intended to honor Lance -- will now tell the world ... TMZ has learned.
A rep from Madame Tussauds Hollywood tells TMZ despite Lance's confession he was a big-time doper, his wax statue will remain on display -- but they're rewording his caption to remove any reference to "7 world titles."
We're told the new display will definitely address the scandal that's destroyed Lance's legacy.
And there's more bad news for Lance in San Fran where the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf has already changed his nameplate. It now reads "Disqualified 7 Time Winner of le Tour de France."
Sheryl Crow Chickens Out In Hyped-Up Lance Armstrong Interview
Breaking News
Sheryl Crow TOTALLY WUSSED OUT during her big highly-anticipated sit-down interview about the Lance Armstrong scandal ... because she didn't answer a single meaningful question.
Crow sat for the interview with Entertainment Tonight in order to address rumors she knew about Lance's illicit use of performance-enhancing drugs for years -- but the problem ... she didn't address anything.
Sheryl gave non-committal answers the whole time, saying she only caught "bits and pieces" of Lance's interview with Oprah -- yeah right -- and then made general comments about Lance's confession, like, "The truth shall set you free."
But when it came to the one question everyone wanted to know the answer to -- whether she kept Lance's doping a secret for all these years -- Sheryl told ET she did not want to comment, saying the story was about Lance ... not her.
Cluck. Cluck. Cluck.
Sheryl Crow My Lips Are SEALED on Lance Armstrong Drama
Sheryl Crow has made it clear ... she ain't sayin' SQUAT about Lance Armstrong ... even though it's likely she knows all sorts of KEY INFO about her ex-fiance's cheatin' ways.
Sheryl went out in Hollywood last night -- dining out at Craig's -- but when it was time to leave, she went WAY out of her way to duck the army of photogs and reporters waiting for her.
When Sheryl finally got into her waiting car, she covered her face ... and didn't say a word when asked about Lance.
Sheryl's believed to have some important information that could affect the Armstrong scandal ... since she was engaged to Lance while he was cheating, blood doping, etc. to win a couple of Tour de France titles.
Sheryl DID speak very generically about Lance to "Entertainment Tonight" yesterday ... saying, "I think that honesty is always the best bet, and that the truth will set you free. It's gotta be really hard to walk around knowing that you're not telling the truth about something, so I always contend that the truth is the best way to go."
Lance Armstrong You Be the Judge
Lance Armstrong finally admitted what everyone on the planet knew ... but was it too little, too late. We gotta ask ...
Matthew McConaughey 'I Was Pissed Off' at Lance Armstrong
Count Matthew McConaughey among those who were upset to learn Lance Armstrong had been lying all these years about doping ... saying he was mad at his close friend, but then eventually felt sad for him.
McConaughey and Armstrong have been BFFs for years -- both call Austin, TX home and the two have been known to work out together often.
But McConaughey says he was as surprised as anyone when Lance came clean, saying he took the news personally at first, but realized it was wrong to do so.
He told MTV News, "What was he supposed to do? Call me to the side and go, 'Hey man, I did it but don't tell anybody.' Then I would have really had a reason to be pissed off at him, going, 'You want me to walk around holding this?'"

Lance vs. Manti Who'd You Rather?
Lance Armstrong and Manti Te'o ... two men dominating the sports headlines for all the wrong reasons. One for cheating ... and one for dating a dead person who never really existed.
Question is ...
More Who'd You Rather?
Lance Armstrong How Much Did Sheryl Crow Know?
Seems everybody in Lance Armstrong's world knew the truth about the cyclist -- that he was cheating his face off -- which begs the question ... how much did Sheryl Crow know?
Armstrong dated Crow from 2003 'til 2006 -- when they broke off their engagement. During the relationship, Armstrong rode in the Tour de France twice -- and won both times.
During Armstrong's interview with Oprah, he admitted to using every single PED under the sun and blood doping ... and acknowledged that everyone who came after him for cheating was right.
We reached out to Crow's agent, who didn't have a comment ... and we tried to find a publicist for Sheryl, but were unsuccessful.
So, we gotta ask ...
Lance Armstrong YES, I DOPED
Breaking News
Lance Armstrong just confessed ... EVERYTHING.
Lance admitted it all during his Oprah interview -- saying he took banned substances to enhance his cycling performances before all 7 of his Tour de France wins ... he blood doped ... he took testosterone ... EPO ... human growth hormone ... everything you can imagine.
Lance had denied the allegations for years -- and when Oprah asked why he came forward now, Lance replied, "I don't know that I have a great answer. I will start now by saying this is too late ... I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times ... I am a flawed character."
He added, "I didn't invent the [doping] culture, but I did nothing to stop the culture ... and I am sorry for that."
Lance said he began using EPO (erythropoietin) -- a hormone that enhances red blood cell production -- in the mid 90s.
When asked if he was ever afraid he'd be caught -- Lance replied, "No."
When asked if it felt wrong at the time -- Lance replied, "No."
When asked if he felt like he was cheating -- he replied, "No ... I viewed it as a level playing field."
As for how the whole operation worked, Armstrong hedged on the details -- saying, "I viewed it as very simple. You had things that were oxygen-boosting drugs, for lack of a better word, that were incredibly beneficial for endurance sports. And that's all you needed."
Lance -- who referred to his former self as "an arrogant pr*ck" -- isn't shocked by the outrage over his lies and deceit ... saying, "I deserve it."
Manti Te'o Hoax Great News ... For Lance Armstrong
Manti Te'o didn't just inspire a new whole Internet craze (Te'oing) ... he also made life WAAAAYYY easier for one Lance "Yep, I cheated" Armstrong.
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
Lance vs. Oprah Time to Start Peddling ... Booze
The Lance Armstrong confession is being hailed as the sporting event of the year ... and sports bars across the country are gearing up for the rush it will bring.
In fact, TMZ has learned one sports bar in Texas is making a night out of it. We've learned Little Woodrow's in Austin is having a "Watch Oprah Ride Lance" viewing party ... complete with some PED-influenced cocktail specials.
The manager tells us they're serving the "Cyclist on Steroids" ... a twist on the traditional Surfer on Acid.
The interview is set to air Thursday night at 9 PM EST -- right around the same time the Lakers are scheduled to take on the Heat.
Looks like it's gonna be a rough night for people in yellow jerseys.
Nike CEO We're NOT Calling It Quits On Lance Armstrong
Nike might reunite with Lance Armstrong after all ... despite terminating its contract with the disgraced cyclist last year -- so says the Nike CEO Phil Knight.
Phil was out in DC yesterday when we asked if Lance and Nike might patch things up after the cyclist admitted to using PEDs -- and Phil responded, "Never say never."
You'll recall, Nike dropped Lance back in October, saying, "Due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade, it is with great sadness that we have terminated our contract with him."
As for whether Phil plans to watch Oprah's interview with Lance ... you get three guesses.

The Legend of Brook Berringer Goes Beyond His 1994 Performance Against CU
Randy York's N-Sider
To "Respond to Randy" click on the link below and choose "Randy York's N-Sider" under "Area of Interest" on the new screen. Please include your name and city/town/state and share your thoughts on Brook Berringer. Your comments may be published at the bottom of this column.
It doesn't seem possible, but it really was 15 years ago when the player who's featured with Tom Osborne on the statue in front of Nebraska's North Stadium entrance had his miracle game in a Husker uniform.
"Brook Berringer played a great game against Colorado in 1994," recalled Osborne, the former Hall-of-Fame coach and now Nebraska's athletic director. "Colorado had the Heisman Trophy winner and four or five first-round draft picks that year. They probably had more overall talent than we did."
But Berringer, who helped Nebraska control nearly 39 minutes of the clock on that pivotal day en route to the Huskers' first of three national championships under Osborne, "played almost a perfect game," Osborne said.
"Brook really emerged as a national quarterback that day," said Ron Brown, Nebraska's tight end coach who was the lead recruiter for what he calls "the quiet, Kansas range boy" who was "a competitive rascal" and "a salt-of-the-earth kind of young man" ... a Husker legend who died in a private plane he was piloting days before the NFL draft and about a month before he was to graduate from college.
Berringer's legacy is immeasurable. We all know, of course, how he came out of nowhere to take over for the injured Tommie Frazier earlier in the season, but that Oct. 29 afternoon against Colorado was his coming out party ... his date with destiny ... the game that he used to prove to everyone that the Huskers had what it takes to win it all.
"That kid had something inside that began to emerge into something really special," Brown recalled. "I mean, he was developing into one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Eight Conference and, in fact, made second-team All-Big Eight that year."
Brown: Berringer 'The Star' of a Sensational Show
The Colorado game solidified Berringer's place in Husker history. "He became the catalyst on our football team that day," Brown said. "He became the charge guy. You could see the spirit in him, and it really culminated in that game."
Among others, the Buffs had future NFL stars Kordell Stewart at quarterback and Michael Westbrook at wide receiver. They also had running back Rashaan Salaam, the 1994 Heisman Trophy winner.
"But Brook was the star that day," Brown said. "He was sensational."
Because of Colorado's style of defense, Nebraska designed passes for the tight end over the middle of the field that day. Berringer was so technically efficient that he was able get CU's linebackers to suck up on the fake, so he could connect with tight ends Mark Gilman and Eric Alford.
Four minutes into the third quarter, CU bit again, and Berringer and Alford hooked up on a 30-yard touchdown pass to give Nebraska a shocking 24-0 lead (24-7 was the final score).
"Brook was just lighting up the sky with short, persistent possession-type throws," Brown recalled. "The traps were going well with Cory Schlesinger. The option game was working. It was a fabulous, beautiful day, and Brook was on center stage in front of a nationally televised audience against some of the best players in America.
"It was fun to see," Brown said. "We knew there was something special there, and after that game, we knew, if we could keep going, despite all the injuries and all the setbacks, that somehow, someway, we were going to get to the national championship game."
For the Rest of the Story, Watch New Husker Videos
No doubt the Brook Berringer Story goes far beyond one almost perfect football game, and we could write that story right here, but it just wouldn't do it justice.
Instead, we offer something much more compelling ... Tom Osborne and Ron Brown remembering Brook Berringer 15 years after a game that showed the nation why Nebraska could still win a national championship with its backup quarterback.
Brown, who gave the eulogy at Berringer's funeral, took the time in his demanding schedule en route to a possible Big 12 championship, to paint a particularly poignant picture of the life and the legacy of one of Nebraska's all-time favorite players.
Take the time to watch Brown's four video installments linked at the top of this column, as well as Osborne's remembrances of Berringer.
Then, after you've watched all of those, hit the play button at the top of this column and watch Berringer describe that memorable day against CU on the Tom Osborne Show from 1994.
Make sure you stay to the end of the highlight reel. You'll see a certain pass that Berringer executed to perfection against CU that day - a play that has found its way back into the Husker playbook.
Enjoy the videos and let us know how you remember Brook Berringer ... who he was, what he stands for and why he is as relevant now as ever in a program that's going back to its roots.
Voices from Husker Nation
Brook Berringer was and still is an inspiration here in the State of Nebraska. Parents still tell their kids about the positive role model he was. Back in 1995, a year before Brook was killed, my husband and I had a daughter. My husband claims to be the biggest Husker fan, as do thousands of others throughout the U.S. (smile), so we named her Brook. We liked the name, but chose the spelling due to Brook Berringer's influence on Nebraska. Our Brook is now a freshman in high school and loves sports. Last fall, a friend of ours gave us a frame with autographed pictures of Brook Berrenger and commemorative tickets to the National Championship celebration. Of course, Brook and her dad argue over who gets to keep those mementos. I have to say I agree with my daughter and just want to say thanks to Brook Berrenger's family. We think our Brook is a great kid with high values (I'm sure we're biased) because those values can be traced to all of the stories and examples she's heard about Brook Berringer. Thanks for listening and giving us a chance to tell others how we chose to honor Brook and his family. Lisa Boucher, Maxwell, Nebraska
Being a Nebraska kid, Husker fan, hunter and fisherman, it was easy to identify with Brook! The fact that he was such a great person made it all the more special that he was our QB. I always hoped I would run into him someday while out hunting and maybe we could share the day together. We didn't get the chance, but I still think of him when the air starts to cool and the days get shorter. We were blessed to have had him for the time we did! Todd Tipton, Omaha, Nebraska
I had the pleasure of meeting Brook Berringer in Scottsbluff just days before he was taken from us. Brook and his mother were out here for a signing at Mike's Husker Stuff, and I had him sign an Orange Bowl ticket from 1995. He said that it was the only one he had signed. I am very proud to have met Brook. He left a lasting impression on me as well as others. He is missed. Walt Howton, Scottsbluff, Nebraska
I just want to say thank you so much for your article on Brook. It meant so much to my family. I grew up pheasant hunting and going to the lake house with Brook. My dad was his dad's identical twin brother. We miss him dearly. We attended as many games as we could during Brook's five years at Nebraska and were at the CU game with him. What a great memory. I fly F-16s for the Colorado Air National Guard. My gun number is #18 in memory of Brook. I've had the unique pleasure and honor of serving with some remarkable folks and have observed and served with some exceptional leaders. Brook was both. Thank you for honoring him. We love being Husker fans in Colorado, especially this time of year. We look forward to Saturday's game against Texas and will be watching to see Ron Brown at the 50-yard line for the players' post-game prayer. What he started in college football is tremendous. Brook was blessed to have him as a coach. We appreciated Coach Osborne's presence in Brook's life as well as Turner Gill's. They are all wonderful family men and influenced Brook's life tremendously. Thanks again for sharing the impact Brook had in other's lives because he certainly impacted ours. Brett Berringer, Maj., Frederick, Colorado
I certainly remember with pride the role Brook played at NU. I now have a 14-year-old boy, and though not an NU football prospect, he is a Husker fan. I am showing him your documentary on Brook as an example of the effect that good character can have on a group. Also, I am about to support him on a path to being a pilot, with some trepidation, given its risks. Thanks for remembering Brook. I have never forgotten that season and how he stepped in, displayed his skill, then his toughness - playing with a rib fracture and a punctured lung ... unbelievable, and I am a physician! David Einspahr, MD, Topeka, Kansas
Going to college at Nebraska and learning who Christ was at that time has affected my life forever. I wrestled as a Husker in the late 1980s and came to respect Rob Brown and who he is, so honoring Brook Berringer and who he was is something I greatly appreciate. Brook stands as an example for all of us on what to focus on in life - in our best and in our worst times. I am now a Principal at Intermountain Christian School, and Brook inspires me to share his life story with the students I now serve. I think it's important for them to see REAL faith being lived out in this world. Thank you for printing this story. Layne Billings, Salt Lake City, Utah
Thank you so much for the article and videos on Brook Berringer. I was working in Des Moines when he died in the plane wreck. Your article and videos are a great testimony to Brook's life, and show why he was a great witness for Jesus. Please thank Coach Brown for his excellent interviews. We enjoy Huskers.com immensely. Thanks again, and GO BIG RED. Ron Tanner, Fairfax, Virginia
I am responding to your story about Brook Berringer and how I remember him. I was fortunate enough to meet Brook several times throughout his career at Nebraska because a family friend had taken Brook under their wing when he first came to Lincoln. I was about 13 when I met Brook and remember having the biggest crush on him! He just seemed to be the perfect man. Being that age, I had no idea what love was, but I cherish every memory I have of Brook Berringer. The day he died, my parents weren't sure how to tell me, and I actually found out while watching ESPN. That was the saddest day of my life, but now I know he is watching over all of us. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him. I have several posters hanging in my living room of Brook, several autographs that are framed, a personalized car decal in memory of him and a personalized license plate with #18. But my favorite is the remembrance tattoo on my wrist that says Phil 1:3. This bible verse was on the program from Brook's memorial. It states: I thank my God every time I remember you. Brook Berringer was and always will be my role model!! Thanks for sharing your story on Huskers.com. Every time I read or watch a story about Brook, it still brings tears to my eyes. Brynn Schuckman, assistant athletic trainer/instructor, University of Central Arkansas, Conway, Arkansas
I'm from Goodland, Kansas, and Brook was EVERYTHING to me while growing up a Husker fan in Goodland! Brook's mom, Jan, made it even more special for me because she was my grade-school teacher through those years! So we had the honor of having Brook come in and see us as he was visiting his mom when he got chances to come home! He was a true hero to all of us in Goodland! He still is! My dad also spoke at Brook's funeral at the field house that day. It was an unreal time, but Brook will NEVER die, and there will never be another human like Brook!! Thank you for the article. It was a pleasant surprise! Andrew Melia, Sports Director, Hometown Family Radio, McCook, Nebraska
Watching Tom Osborne and Ron Brown discuss Brook Berringer on the videos that support your column explains why Brook is the player on that statue in front of the stadium. I've always known that he belonged there, but now, we all have even more reasons why he was the most deserving and the most inspirational choice. I hope some parts of these videos end up in that new video room inside the front door. Lonnie Irvine, Cheyenne, Wyoming
What a great tribute to Brook Berringer. I will never forget the day he died. It was almost as if a family member had died. He was a young man that deserved the respect that he got from everyone around him and from the fans who had followed his career. He handled his backup role to Tommie Frazier with dignity and grace, and he is the type of young man that every parent hopes their son will emulate. That's why his death was very sad for all Husker fans. I know it was for me. Thank you for sharing this story to help us remember one of the greatest players in Husker history, not only for his talent, but even more for his character. Terri Fisher
It's impressive that Denver Bronco Quarterback Kyle Orton wore Brook's No. 18 both at Purdue and with the Chicago Bears because he looked up to Brook while growing up. I enjoyed watching the video where he explained why Brook was such a role model for him. He's a role model for all of us. Robert Cookson, Salina, Kansas
The Life and Legacy of Brook Berringer
Born: July 9, 1973, in Scottsbluff, Neb.
Died: April 18, 1996, at age 22 in crash of small plane he was piloting near Raymond, Neb.
Funeral: Goodland, Kan., where Brook lived from age 7 through high school graduation. Brook, sisters Nicoel and Drue and mother Jan moved to Kansas after their father and husband, Warren Berringer, died of cancer. "Brook's death had more impact on our football players than any other single event that I can think of," said Tom Osborne, his former head coach and now Nebraska's athletic director. "When you're 19, 20 and 21-years-old, you think you're bullet-proof. You think you're going to live forever. That's what our guys were thinking in 1996, and then, all of a sudden, here's this guy who was admired by virtually everyone and was young and was on the threshold of possibly an NFL career. He was engaged to be married to a beautiful young lady and was about to get his college degree. Then, all of a sudden, he's gone. I think it hit home - first, the brevity of life and secondly, the legacy he had as a Christian with a very strong spiritual base. Almost all of our team attended the funeral, and a lot of players re-examined their lives and their stance on faith. As we went down to Goodland, I remember seeing all of those people in both Nebraska and Kansas standing along the roadside as the hearse rolled along. There are not many players who would draw that kind of attention. Brook had a great impact on lots of people, including me. When you lose someone like that, it's almost like losing a member of your own family."
Memorial service: April 20, 1996, at Memorial Stadium. Attendance: 48,659.
Primary recruiter: Ron Brown. He delivered Brook's eulogy, which was broadcast live statewide. Brown and Osborne first saw Berringer at the Nebraska Summer Football Camp, where he impressed both with his arm and overall athleticism. Kansas and Kansas State also offered scholarships, but Brook's Nebraska roots simplified the recruiting process.
Primary athletic legacy: Becoming Nebraska's starting quarterback in Nebraska's 1994 national championship season for Tommie Frazier, who developed blood clots in his leg and missed eight straight games. Huskers did not lose any games with Berringer at the helm.
Career highlight: Oct. 29, 1994, Nebraska's 200th consecutive sellout against Colorado. "Brook played a great game," Osborne recalled. "Colorado had the Heisman Trophy winner and five first-round draft picks. They probably had more overall talent than we did. Brook threw a touchdown pass to give us a 24-0 lead, and we won, 24-7, after holding the ball for almost 40 minutes. Brook played almost a perfect game."
Competitive savvy: "The thing that was particularly memorable about Brook was that in spite of what he did in 1994, when 1995 came and Frazier was healed up, he certainly had as much claim to be the starting quarterback as Tommie. The only difference was that during preseason scrimmages, Brook had one interception, and Tommie had none. Tommie graded a little bit better, but not much. It was close."
Maturity that belied his age: "Brook could have been bitter. He could have been divisive. He could have caused a fracture within the team," Osborne said. "But he didn't do that. He was supportive of Tommie. He was a consummate team player. He always said the right thing and always did the right thing."
Inspiring figure: From former Chicago Bear and now Denver Bronco starting quarterback Kyle Orton, who remembers getting Brook's autograph as a seventh grader while growing up in Iowa: Orton told Sports Illustrated: "I liked how Brook handled himself as a player. He played well when they won the national title, and then Tommie Frazier came back and got the job back. Brook could've tanked, but he showed what he was made of as a backup. Ever since then, I've worn 18 (in junior high, high school, at Purdue and with the Bears. Orton wears No. 8 with the Broncos because 18 is one of Denver's three retired jersey numbers). I met Brook's mother (Jan). She saw me mention Brook in an interview, and she tracked me down. It was cool. I thought we would talk for 10 minutes, but we spent a lot of time talking about him. It wasn't even about football. It was about the kind of guy he was."
Reason that Brook Berringer is an equal part of the Tom Osborne statue at the front entrance to the North Stadium: "When approached, I didn't want a personal statue," Osborne said. "Some have wondered why there isn't a generic player, and I can understand that reasoning. But in a sense, Brook's spirit epitomizes the sacrifices that so many small-town kids have made to make this program great. He was not a walk-on, but he symbolizes the efforts of so many of those kinds of players. His impact has been great. He embodies a lot of the things that we're trying to get done here ... good student ... good person ... unimpeachable character ... well-liked ... well respected ... good leader. As a result, like so many others before him and after him, he made his mark here."

Taffin's most used bullets for assembling .44 Real Cowboy Loads are Oregon Trails RNFP and SWC and the original 429421 Keith bullet. HANDLOADING SAGE ADVICE FROM THE HANDLOADING GURUS Unique, Power Pistol and Universal are excellent powders for Real Cowboy Loads in the Ruger or any .44 Magnum. T he last place to learn safe gun handling is at the movies or the TV screen and it's a rare film that ever depicts recoil in any shape or fashion. Forty-four caliber sixguns and leverguns recoil. When cowboy action shooting started almost everyone used .45 and .44 sixguns with the same level loads used on the frontier. It wasn't long before some discovered it was a lot easier to shoot fast first using .38 Specials, then light-loaded .38 Specials and now even .32s. At one time a minimum velocity of 650 fps was suggested for revolvers, however that idea did not go very far, even though real cowboy loads from the last quarter of the 19th century were at this level or above. Smith & Wesson introduced the first big-bore cartridgefiring sixgun in late 1869 with the .44 S&W American. All the .44s following close on its hells started life as black powder cartridges and any sixgun made prior to 1900 should only be used with black powder or black powder substitute loads. If one wants to really be part of the spirit of the old West black powder can still be used not only in the old guns but any of the currently produced sixguns as well. Army and it was soon available in several other revolvers. The "40" in .44-40 stands for 40 gr. of black powder. Modern .44-40 brass will not hold this much powder, however I have been fortunate to come up with some original balloon head brass which will. Loading a full 40 gr. of FFg black powder under an Oregon Trails 200 grain RNFP cast bullet gives a muzzle velocity of right at 1,000 fps in a 71/2" sixgun and right at 1,300 fps from a Winchester levergun. Using modern .44-40 brass, 35 gr. of black powder or black powder substitute will give from 850 to 1,000 fps from a 71/2" sixgun depending on the granulation used, with FFFg giving the highest muzzle velocity. I load up thousands of .44-40 loads every year using Oregon Trails 200 gr. RNFP bullet. My lightest loads use 5.5 gr. of Red Dot or 5.0 gr. of Bullseye for about 775 fps, and 5.5 gr. of Nitro-100 or 6.0 gr. of TiteGroup increases the muzzle velocity to around 825 fps. My most used load is the same as I use for .45 Colt and .38-40, namely 8.0 gr. of Unique for right at 900 fps. .44 Special: When the .44 Special was introduced in late 1907, even though the brass was longer than the .44 Russian and the Triple-Lock sixgun was certainly stronger than the S&W TopBreaks, for some strange reason it was Some realist loads .44 Colt: Colt was caught flatfooted when Smith & Wesson brought out the .44 American and while they were waiting for the legal time when they could produce sixguns bored through cylinders they did the next best thing which was convert already in use 1860 Army percussion revolvers to fire a new cartridge, the .44 Colt. Originally the .44 Colt used the same style heeled bullet as the .44 S&W American, however currently produced replicas have been modernized to accept standard .44 bullets loaded in .44 Colt brass now made by Starline. Lengthwise the .44 Colt is in between the .44 Russian and .44 Special and uses the same bullets both these cartridges do. Reproductions patterned after the 1860 Army percussion revolver do not have a top strap so one should be very careful as to what loads are used. To duplicate the original I use 25 gr. of FFg under a 200 gr. cast bullet for around 775 fps. Switching to smokeless powder and the same bullet, 4.0 gr. of Red Dot or WW231 is a very pleasant shooting 660 fps while 4.0 gr. of TiteGroup gets us up to 700 fps. .44 Russian: The Russians liked the S&W Model #3 American but they did not like the cartridge and because of this the modern sixgun cartridge was born. The Russians asked for a bullet of uniform diameter with all the grease grooves inside the case and the result was the .44 Russian which would later become the father of the .44 Special and then 50 years after that the grandfather of the .44 Magnum. In duplicating the original .44 Russian load using 23 gr. of FFg black powder under a 240 gr. cast bullet, muzzle velocity runs from 750 fps to 800 fps depending upon barrel length. In modern replicas using the same 240 grain bullet, which by the way is Oregon Trail's .44 SWC, or the old round-nosed Lyman #429251, 4.0 gr. of Nitro-100 gives 740 fps; 4.0 gr. of Red Dot, 825 fps; 4.0 gr. TiteGroup, 800 fps; 4.0 gr. WW231, 775 fps, and 5.0 gr. Unique clocks out at 765 fps. Any of these loads will serve as everyday working loads and are quite pleasant to shoot. .44-40: The same year Colt introduced the .45 Peacemaker, Winchester brought out the Model 1873 levergun, chambered in the legendary .44 Winchester Centerfire (.44WCF) and now more commonly known as the .44-40. It may have started as a rifle cartridge, however before the end of the 1870s Colt chambered it their Single Action Continued on page 86 38 WWW.AMERICANHANDGUNNER.COM • JANUARY/FEBRUARY2010

We revealed last month our imminent collaboration with the amazing Marina & The Diamonds, and while some unforeseen delays have forced us to push back the release until the new year, we're thrilled to announce that Marina's debut single will at long last find it's way into the hands of the masses via Neon Gold this coming Valentine's Day. To make the wait more bearable, we've got the wonderful music video - beautifully directed on a non-existent budget by Tim Brown - above and are making the finished version of the track available for FREE download below. The demo remains one of our favorite tracks of the year, but the single version sports immense new production from Liam Howe that elevates the original to new heights of pop perfection. This is widescreen technicolor pop bliss that's sure to make Marina one of the most talked about new talents of 2009. Enjoy.
MP3: "Obsessions" - Marina & The Diamonds ((exclusive))
"Obsessions" is Marina's dramatic masterwork and the spotlight track here, but the single's another double A-side release with the equally impressive left field pop smash that is "Mowgli's Road" turning up the intensity on the flipside. While "Obsessions" might tempt hasty comparisons to other British starlets currently gigging around the UK, "Mowgli's Road" (available for streaming on our myspace) could quite easily be a standalone single in its own right, an unquestionably original breath of fresh air that puts Marina in a league of her own among her likeminded contemporaries. The two tracks combine to form an incredibly bold statement intent for such a young talent and establish Marina as a force to be reckoned with in the new year.
Limited to 500 copies worldwide (250 for the US and 250 for the UK/Europe) and featuring original artwork from the NYC's brilliant Mogollon collective, the record's currently available for preorder from the Neon Gold Shop (US customers) and Puregroove (international customers). Oh and did we mention the first 50 preorders will receive SIGNED copies? Because they will. Yeah, get on this. Grab the free mp3 above and sit tight for more details on the release, as there's plenty more excitement to come on this one, including remixes from Giantess, Little Boots and more.

Living with diabetes is a day-in, day-out job. A diabetes disease management program makes the job a little easier by giving you the information and support you need. It helps you take care of yourself and stick to your treatment plan. And in the long run, it may lead to better health and fewer complications.
According to the American Diabetes Association, a disease management program helps you learn essential skills for taking better care of your diabetes. You'll find out what steps you can take to protect your health. With this type of program, this is what you can do:
Get support and guidance. As you learn new ways to manage diabetes, you may need help putting these ideas into action. Whether you have questions about how to take your medicines or lose weight, talk to your healthcare provider to develop an individualized plan that will work for you. You can join classes and support groups to share with others what you have learned as well.
Take an active role in your care. A disease management program also helps you work closely with your healthcare provider. You're encouraged to speak up and get involved.
Get help with setting goals. Get advice on practical strategies for making healthy behavior changes, such as eating better and exercising more. Disease management programs are designed to track your health over time. You and your healthcare provider can get a more complete picture of how you're doing and where improvements can be made so that you can reach your goals successfully.
A disease management program sounds like a good thing, but you might be wondering whether it really works. Research shows that these programs are successful. In fact, participation in a disease management program has been strongly recommended as a way to reduce health problems caused by diabetes. The approach used by these programs can help improve blood glucose control and screening for diabetic complications.
Having diabetes will never be easy. But a good program can give you the tools to make the challenges more manageable.

Earlier this year, Google revamped the comments section of YouTube, integrating it with its Google+ social network. And now, more than 47,000 people are petitioning YouTube to revert the comments section to its original form.
The petition, hosted on Change.org, says Google is forcing users into creating accounts for a social network they don't want to use with the new comments section. The change has also stripped users of their ability to post comments anonymously, the petition says.
"They have completely RUINED a great thing. Comments were the number one reason why I checked my YouTube account daily. Now that desire is gone," says the top comment posted in response to the petition on Change.org. (As a side note, that comment, which has received nearly 900 'likes,' appears to have been left anonymously under the name "James Gandolfini," the late star of the hit HBO series "The Sopranos.")
Change.org said the YouTube petition is currently the most active one on the website. It was posted on Thursday. Change.org said there are several other petitions that also ask YouTube to change back its comments section.
Google introduced the new YouTube comments section in September as a way to curtail the amount of hateful comments left by users, who often posted anonymously.
The new comments section was also designed to display comments that would be relevant to every individual user. Rather than simply display the last comment left as YouTube previously did, the new comments section emphasizes comments left by users' friends, the creators of videos, celebrities or comments left by others that have received a lot of interaction.

You know how kids can always seem to find something, like a box, and make it into a toy? Well, you can also encourage that same creativity with art projects. We like to give the kids bits and pieces of art material, like these scraps of felt, and see what they come up with.
For fun felt projects, just give the kids a rectangle of felt for their canvas and a bunch of different colored scraps of felt, scissors and craft glue.
You can also provide some other fun things like yarn, buttons and pipe cleaners. Look at the fun pieces of art that were created in just this manner and the kids had a ton of fun. These turned out so well that I think we'll frame them and hang them in their rooms.
For more fun family crafts.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which the flow of air pauses or decreases during breathing while you are asleep because the airway has become narrowed blocked, or floppy. A pause in breathing is called an apnea episode. A decrease in airflow during breathing is called a hypopnea episode. Almost everyone has brief apnea episodes while they sleep.
Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors
All of the muscles in your body become more relaxed during sleep. This includes the muscles that help keep the airway open and allow air to flow into the lungs. Normally, the upper throat still remains open enough duringsleep to let air pass by. However, some people have a narrower throat area. When the muscles in their upper throat relax during sleep, their breathing can stop for a period of time (often more than 10 seconds). This is called apnea. The snoring in people with obstructive sleep apnea is caused by the air trying to squeeze through the narrowed or blocked airway. However, everyone who snores does not have sleep apnea. Other factors may also increase your risk: A lower jaw that is short compared to the upper jaw (retrognathia) Certain shapes of the palate or airway that cause the airway to be narrower or collapse more easily Large tonsils and adenoids in children that can block the airway
Large neck or collar size (17 inches or more in men and 16 inches or more in women) Large tongue, which may fall back and block the airway Obesity Sleeping on the back also increases sleep apnea episodes.
A person who has obstructive sleep apnea often is not aware of the apnea episodes during the night. Often, family members witness the periods of apnea. A person with obstructive sleep apnea usually begins snoring heavily soon after falling asleep. Often the snoring gets louder. The snoring
is then interrupted by a long silent period during which there is no breathing. This is followed by a loud snort and gasp, as the person attempts to breathe. This pattern repeats. Many people wake upunrefreshed in the morning and feel sleepy or drowsy throughout the day. This is called excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).
People with Sleep Apnea may:
Act grumpy
Impatient, or irritable
Be Forgetful
Fall asleep while working, reading, or watching TV
Feel sleepy while driving, or even fall asleep while driving
Have hard to treat headaches
Problems that may occur with this condition:
Depression that becomes worse
Hyperactive behavior, especially in children
Leg swelling (if severe)
Signs and tests
The health care provider will perform a complete history and physical exam. This will involve carefully checking your mouth, neck, and throat. You may be given a survey that asks a series of questions about daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, and bedtime habits. A sleep study (polysomnogram) is used to confirm obstructive sleep apnea.
Other tests that may be performed include:
Arterial blood gases
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Thyroid function studies
The goal is to keep the airway open so that breathing does not stop during sleep.
The following lifestyle changes may relieve symptoms of sleep apnea in some people:
Avoiding alcohol or sedatives at bedtime, which can make symptoms worse
Avoiding sleeping on the back may help with mild sleep apnea
Losing weight may decrease the number of apnea spells during the night
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is now the first treatment for obstructive sleep
apnea in most people. CPAP is delivered by a machine with a tight-fitting face mask.Many patients have a hard time sleeping with CPAP therapy. Good follow-upand support from a sleep center can often help overcome any problems in using CPAP. For information on this treatment, see: CPAP.
Some patients may need dental devices inserted into the mouth at night to keep the jaw forward.
Surgery may be an option in some cases. This may involve: Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty
(UPPP) -- to remove excess tissue at the back of the throat. This surgery has not been proven to completely clear up sleep apnea. Long-term side effects are also possible. More invasive surgeries
-- to correct problems with the face structures in rare cases when patients have severe sleep apnea and treatment has not helped Tracheostomy -- to create an opening in the windpipe to bypass the blocked airway if there are physical problems (rarely done) Surgery to remove the tonsils and adenoids often cures the condition in children. It does not seem to help most adults.
Expectations (prognosis)
People with poorly treated sleep apnea often have:
An increase in anxiety and depression
A loss of interest in sex
Poor performance at work or school
Because of daytime sleepiness, people with sleep apnea have an increased risk of:
Motor vehicle accidents from driving while sleepy
Industrial accidents from falling asleep on the job
With treatment, the symptoms and problems of sleep apnea should be totally corrected.
Untreated obstructive sleep apnea may lead to or worsen heart disease, including:
Heart arrhythmias
Heart failure
High blood pressure

Call your health care provider if:
You have excessive daytime sleepiness

We've got some interesting news for you, folks. PhoneArena has managed to get hold of the new ATIV S Neo, which will eventually be heading to Sprint. The Samsung Windows Phone was announced by the US mobile operator last month, showing signs of support for Microsoft's platform along with the HTC 8XT.
While not an entirely new ATIV product, Samsung has built on the strengths of the original ATIV S, offering Sprint customers something unique, but also familiar with Windows Phone 8. Think of the Neo as the Lumia 928 to the Lumia 920. It's part of the same family but with a different taste. If you own the ATIV S, you're not missing out. But if you're looking for a new Windows Phone, there's certainly a strong choice for you on Sprint.
If you're not familiar with the specifications of the ATIV S Neo, we're looking at a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB (or 16GB) internal storage (with microSD support), 4.8-inch display (probably utilising Super AMOLED), 8MP shooter (with 1.9MP FFC) and a 2,000mAh removable battery. It's quite the work horse.
Overall first impression? It's a new Windows Phone from Samsung. That alone makes this an impressive piece of kit. Personally, I like the design. It's not as premium looking as the original ATIV S, but Sprint will at least have a high-end smartphone running Microsoft's mobile OS. The Windows Phone will be launching this summer and will be available for $149.99 with a new line or eligible upgrade, two-year service agreement and a $50 mail-in rebate.
Here's a quick sample from the camera:
We'll hopefully have a unit with us soon, so be sure to remain tuned to our feeds for previews and a review.

Most of these records have been preserved in the county courthouses of the State of Idaho. Few have been microfilmed. Contact the county clerk for information about years covered and availability.

History of Ridgedale
The area, more commonly referred to as Pocatello Valley, is located about fifteen miles southwest of Malad Idaho (Latitude: 42.03 North/Longitude 112.32 West). The area is a closed valley (approximately 15,000 acres) about 5000 feet above sea level located on the Utah/Idaho border but most of the region falls in Idaho. Homesteaded mostly by early Mormon settlers in the late 1800's and early 1900's from both northern Utah and southern Idaho the valley once sported a steady population for most of the months of the year sufficient to support church, social and educational activities. As agricultural endeavors over the years have required ever larger operations and with improved transportation the valley currently is relatively lightly populated with rather large dry land farming operations underway. The area was electrified in the 1950's and telephone service became common in the 1970's. The area was struck by an intense earthquake in 1975 (Google: 1975 Idaho Earthquake) generating extensive damage on farming facilities in the area but due to the low population density no one was injured. Access to the area is largely weather dependent and researchers should be advised of that fact. Of historical research interest be advised also that most of the early structures, with the exception of two early school buildings, have been destroyed. It should be also noted that there are no known cemeteries in the local.

When developing countries try to boost their health care systems, people often advocate letting the free market take care of it. After all, isn't the private sector meant to be a model of efficiency compared to the public sector?
Unfortunately, it turns out that's not always the case, at least not in the developing world. A huge meta-analysis of hospitals in low- and middle-income countries has shown that private healthcare isn't all its cracked up to be — but then neither is public, in some cases.
Top image: Peradeniya Hospital in Sri Lanka, by Snipergirl/Flickr.
The study looked at both non-profit and for-profit health care providers, and focused on six areas that the WHO deems important for healthcare: accessibility and responsiveness; quality; outcomes; accountability, transparency, and regulation; fairness and equity; and efficiency. The researchers included 109 different studies in their research, blanketing the globe. And while a lot of factors varied in different nations and regions, there were definitely some noticeable trends.
Despite the claims of its boosters, private healthcare was no more efficient than public — in fact, private facilities were less efficient, and they were more likely to violate accepted medical standards. On the flip side, public facilities were worse when it came to timeliness, friendliness, and access to supplies. Both types of providers had issues with accountability, and transparency, and putting up barriers to access.
Bottom line: Healthcare in developing nations is a large and complex topic — and getting these countries to the place where they can successfully look after their population is going to take more than just leaving them to the free market.

My 3 bantam hens are currently hatching up to 11 Sebright eggs in an Eglu Cube and I was wondering if anyone has experience of raising bantie chicks in such a large coop and were any changes made so that the chicks could move about, get food and drink but be kept safe for a while in the coop ie stop them falling out.
Then as they get older and need to come out of the coop how have the chicks managed to get in and out as they will be too small to use the ladder. I'm assuming a temporary ramp was made that they could use?
Any ideas? I'd like to keep them all in the current Eglu particularly as the weather is so good at the moment.
Anyone with experience of raising chicks in an Eglu Cube?

Name: Isabel
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Location: Olympia WA
HI, my guy and I have been together for five years now and he is 29 now. Of course in the beginning we were all over each other, but now (five years later) he can go months with out even thinking about sex. And of course I am going crazy for it. He says me pining for sex is a turn off but I cant help it. He thinks its normal, but I know its not. I don't know how to get him in the mood. I've tried going down on him at night, romantic dinners, porn, and sucking up to his ego. But still to no avail. I know he's straight. I am sure there are some things that contribute to his lack of interest. Like he was raised Mormon, and in some regards holds women on a pedestal. So what would you advise me to do? What can I do to help him get hornier?
You're right, darlin', it ain't normal! A guy in his 20's, albeit his late, late 20's, who has no libido…that's just downright odd.
So let's say for the sake of argument that you're right, he is straight as can be (no secret cock on the side). And he can go months without showing any interest in sex? Come on! If he had been like this from the get go, we could make the case that he just doesn't have an interest in sex. That's not particularly uncommon. But to go from a vigorous sex live to virtually none in a few years, that's fishy. Are you confident that he is still attracted to you? Sometimes a guy would rather a life of quiet desperation than tell his GF that he's no longer into her in a sexual sort of way.
Is he experiencing any health problems? Is he overweight, diabetic? Is he on any prescribed meds? Is he smoking too much pot, consuming too much booze? Is he overworked on the job? Is he sleep deprived? All these things can impact on a dude's sex drive. I'd recommend he see his physician for some blood work to check his testosterone levels. Sometime a guy's hormone levels can take a nosedive without him knowing it.
Finally, to your question…what can you do to help him get hornier? Probably nothing beyond what you've already tried, unless you suggest a sex therapist. If a surprise blowjob, a romantic dinner, porn and even an ego boost don't do the trick, and he says no to therapy, then I'd say he's a lost cause. Time to take your needs to someone with a little more lead in his pencil, if ya know what I mean. None of us should have to beg for our bone.
Good luck

When me and my husband have sex he just seems to want to get it over with. I don't ask him for it because every time I do ask him he's not in the mood. He wont even try to help me warm up I have to do it all myself. I even do everything to him that he asks me. He also seems like he doesn't want to please me because I'll tell him ways to make it easier and positions I like and he just ignores me and goes on the way he wants it. When we first met sex was amazing and now sex is literally a 2-minute session just for him. What do I do to get him to help me out too?
See my response to Isabel, right above you.
And to that I would add that if your man is not being mutual in your sex play he's not playing fair. And not to mince words, but your husband sounds downright abusive. Marriage does not give a person license to ignore, reject or abuse. I'm not one for ultimatums, but the longer you tolerate his behavior, the more obstinate he will become. Give him a choice, either work with you to find a happy solution to this or you are gone.
Good Luck

I watch porn once in a while and have noticed that when I have an erection I get the "precum" after a while of having the erection. The problem is that lots of precum leaks out and it's embarrassing for me when I'm with a girl. They usually get grossed out and stop oral sex. Will the precum go away with time or will this happen to me forever?
Ahhh, the heartbreak of pesky precum drip! I used to know this guy that dripped like a broken faucet and all he had to do was think about a woman's tits. It was absolutely amazing. When I knew him he was at his first job as a teller in a bank in downtown San Francisco. If there was so much as a woman in line with a low cut blouse and a bit of cleavage showing, he was done for. He could feel his juice drip down his leg. He tried many things to keep his heartbreak from being so obvious — he would wear baggy pants, double up on underwear, he'd stuff his junk in a sock and wear a jock over the sock under his underwear. That worked, but it was uncomfortable. Finally he discovered his own personal solution — he pulled his foreskin over the head of his dick and put a little rubber band over the end. This way his juice would build up inside his hood until he released the rubber band. Now that was creative thinking. I'll admit this guy was unusual with his prodigious cock dribble, but he was young, only in his late teens, but his "problem" did subside with time.
This whole phenomenon is not unlike a person with a heavy perspiration problem. You know the guys, the ones who run with sweat from every pour at slightest amount of stress or effort. For most, this happens during puberty and early adulthood, but it doesn't last.
Listen, pup, I know it might be a bit embarrassing, but it's really very natural. I encourage you to just go with the flow…no pun intended. The more you worry about it the more it will plague you and in time you will become so self-conscious about it, it will cause performance anxiety. Think of it this way; consider yourself lucky, all that precum is a swell natural lubricant. Ya know some women have a similar concern with an abundance of vaginal liberation produced during arousal. But believe me, it always way better to have too much than not enough.
To your concern that some girls get grossed out by your leaky dick, well all I can say is they're no connoisseur of cocksucking. Because those in the know consider precum the Nectar of the Gods!
Good luck

Installing From Source In Linux
I am aware that 99% of people who use linux and visit AntiOnline are probably more than capable of doing this, but I've seen several people in IRC lately who had trouble installing software from a source download.
The method shown below should cover generic installs for all eventualitues (except RPM packages).
For the example, I shall use "nmap-3.00.tar.gz"
1. Find the file type, and decompress
This is more useful than it sounds. For example, you download a .tar.gz file in Mozilla, and Mozilla decompresses it on-the-fly, but saves it with the .gz extension still there - it is now only a tar file, but the file extension suggests you need to run gunzip, or the tar -z option... Running this will tell you more about the file you're trying to install:
file nmap-3.00.tar.gz
The output will tell you that the file is either "gzip compressed file" or "tar archive".
If the file is "gzip compressed", run the following:
gunzip nmap-3.00.tar.gz
This will leave you with a file called nmap-3.00.tar
You can now untar the file,
tar xvf nmap-3.00.tar
If the file has a .bz2 extension, or shows "bzip compressed file" as the output of the file command, you should run:
bunzip2 file.tar.bz2
tar xvf file.tar
2. Configure
Now execute the following:
cd ./nmap-3.00
(of course, use the directory created from the extraction of the files from the tar archive)
(configure scripts can often take paramaters, although usually don't need to unless you are installing software in conjunction with other software (e.g. Apache and PHP) or if your system has required libraries in a different place to usual, you can tell configure where to find them. type ./configure --help to list the options you can pass to the script)
3. Compiling & Installing
If configure ran successfully, i.e. did not exit with an error message, you can now run the following:
make &&
make install
(the && after make prevents 'make install' running unless make successfully completed).
4. Optional Steps
You can now optionally type:
make clean
to clear up a few files and perhaps save a bit of disk space, although this isn't usually a problem for most people living in modern times with computers having excessively large hard drives

Included in this combination is a black metal lobster clip safety breakaway lanyard, and a rigid black single ID card holder. The lanyard is made of a soft fabric, and measures approximately 85cm in broken length.

The sound of a Ferrari engine is always special, but echoing off the skyscrapers in Manhattan and bouncing off Times Square has to be a very special experience. And that's what happened recently when Ferrari organized a rally for more than 60 Ferrari in New York.
The cars would include a full line-up of current models as well several Daytonas, an F40, 275 GTB, 250 GT Series 1 Cabriolet and Dino 246, among others. Most of us would be happy to see one of these in New York, but a motorcade of the magnificent machines must have been spectacular.
The route went from Battery Park in the southern tip of Manhattan, to Bridgehampton on the eastern end of Long Island. The ultimate destination was the Bridgehampton Polo Club, where drivers would celebrate the end of the season.
The cars took a northern route through the Manhattan, heading up Times Square, Central Park South and over the Queensboro Bridge before driving toward Long Island.
Once outside the city, the roads changed to countryside and farmland that led to the Bridgehampton Polo Club.
To thank New York City for hosting the rally, Ferrari made a donation to New York Cares, an organization that runs volunteer projects for 1300 nonprofits, public schools and city agencies to help people in need throughout the five boroughs.
