Hi I fissured my butt sometime ago and I think it has healed. I have undergone a Lateral Sphincterotomy twice – inner and outer. Unfortunately the area is now VERY sensitive and when I deficate the area 'screams' in pain. It is worse the softer the faecies is. When the faecies is firm, the pain is very low. Will this go? Is there any medication that I can use?
An anal fissure is a common proctological problem, especially for the heavy ass play crowd. An anal fissure is a tear in the anal tissue. The most common complaint is a pain in the ass…literally! during and after taking a dump. There may also be itching and possibly some bleeding. Pain and irritation can cause a spasm of the internal anal sphincter muscle, which sleazes up and further aggravates the condition.
The Lateral Sphincterotomy you mention is a surgical procedure to close the fissure. This operation remains the primary form of treatment for chronic conditions.
All my medical consultants tell me that, if your surgeries healed properly, you shouldn't be experiencing pain, let alone "screaming pain" when you shit. We all understand that the area will continue to be sensitive, but the pain you describe is not a good sign. You may very well have an infection. You need to have that looked at ASAP. This is nothing to fool around with.
Here's a tip for everyone in my audience: pain, of any sort, is one way our body talks to us. Its message is— things are not as they should be; get it fixed NOW. Sometimes the pain will subside when we stop doing something…like holding our hand too close to a flame. Some pain will only subside when a condition is fixed…like getting a cavity in our tooth filled. Other pain, like the emotional pain that comes with depression is harder to soothe, but it can be done. Finally, pain like the kind Garth is experiencing means something is very wrong. And if not attended to immediately, things will only get much worse.

A few years back, a friend confided that he contracted genital warts from his ex-girl friend. He had the genital warts on his genitals, anus, hands, feet and in his mouth. His ex-girl friend had it on her hands, in her vagina, mouth, anus and cervix. I can understand having it on the genitals and hands and in the anus, mouth and cervix. I didn't ask how he got it on his feet.
He went to work in another state, but came back here two years later. He told me he liked a girl he met and would like to bring the relationship into a more intimate level. I asked him about his genital warts. He said he was cured of it. I read that genital warts cannot be cured. That it can be treated, but will remain incurable and contagious although dormant for a while.
Will the girl get it after they had sex? My friend comes to my house very often, drinks beer with me and my girl friend. He uses the bathroom and the hand towel. Even after scrubbing the bathroom and washing the hand towel, can my girl friend and I get the genital warts? As for my friend, was he condemned not to have sex for life? Or, is it safe to have sex if there was no outbreak or external signs?
I've seen several bad cases of genital warts, but never a case that included hands feet and mouth. Perhaps that outbreak was something else, I won't even hazard a guess.
You are right; technically genital warts remain incurable, though non-contagious and dormant if treated correctly. And proper treatment is the key. For more information you might consult: www.dph.sf.ca.us.
Casual contact, the kind you describe below — bathroom, towels, etc. — cannot pass on the virus. Transmission is dependent on intimate genital contact. Does your friend (his GF) have an outbreak going on now? Can you see something on his (her) hands and face?
I know my friend is a responsible person and he will not knowingly infect me with his genital warts. But, how can he be sure that the wart is dormant and non-contagious? I am now wary because he told me his genital warts were cured. This makes me wonder whether he was given the wrong medical advice or he was just trying to put my mind at ease. Aside from using the bathroom and towels, he also eats dinner at my home and could infect my dishes, utensils, cloth napkins, etc. and pass the virus to me and my girl friend.
This matter has the potential of becoming a dilemma for me and my friendship with him. I don't want to ask him details such as who is his doctor, what kind of treatment he is getting (it seems the infected person must be tested periodically and the treatment ongoing) and how is he going to determine when he is not contagious. He is a sensitive person and I know that he will get angry if I asked him these questions. I can make excuses not to see him at my house (this only goes so far). If I ask or make excuses, I'd lose his friendship. I don't want to lose him as a friend. But, I don't want him to infect me and my girl friend with the virus either, knowingly or unknowingly
I don't see any warts on his hands and on his feet (he wears sandals sometimes). I don't know if he plans to tell the girl he plans to get intimate with.
My girl friend doesn't know about this. She will freak out if I tell her and that will cause more problems. Help!!!???!!!
If I were you I would ask him about the treatment he received for his warts. That would put your mind at ease. Besides, your friendship sounds like it's on the brink anyway. And here's a tip: you probably have lots of casual contact with many other people with genital warts without even knowing it — it's a very common malady.
Thank you very much. I think he should also tell the girl about his genital warts before having sex with her. She must be given the option to reject or accept it. I also read that the virus can be passed just with skin-to-skin contact when there is a flare up. Is this true?
I feel bad about this. Although my friend is a responsible person, there is still a chance he could get carried away in the heat of passion and throw precaution and caution to the wind.
I imagine it is difficult to enjoy sex when you have to do and think of many things that could go wrong. Giving him my sympathy will not help. He alone has the burden of doing what has to be done before having sex to prevent contaminating his girl friend or spreading he genital warts around.
I will appreciate any additional information/clarification/advice you can give me about this.
Thank you again for your help.
Genital warts, like herpes, are contagious only when there's a flair-up. Skin to skin contact can pass the virus at that point. Also, like herpes, if the genital wart virus has been treated, the likelihood of passing on the virus is negligible.
I am of the mind that we all ought to be responsible and up-front with our sex partners about any health related issues that might impact on their health.

Do you have any suggestions about FE, I believe I have once and it was total bliss. But achieving it again is quite another.
FE??? Are you talkin' Female Ejaculation, darlin"? Ok, let's start with a little background.
The G-spot (or Grafenberg Spot after the physician who first wrote about it) is a small area of spongy tissue just behind the front wall of the vagina, between the back of the pubic bone and the cervix. This is analogous tissue to the male prostate. In fact, the G-spot is sometimes referred to as the female prostate. But like most things sexual, particularly if it has to do with female sexuality, there's a lot of debate about whether the G-Spot is the same thing as the female prostate. I intend to steer clear of that controversy just as much as possible.
What I can tell you for sure is that during early fetal development both male and female fetuses start out being physically female? This does not change until a male fetus begins to produce its own hormones around the eighth week of gestation. Only then does the physical development of the male and female bodies diverge. Of course, this necessitates that female fetuses initially have structures that could develop into either "male" or "female" reproductive and sexual organs. This means the tissue that develops into the male prostate gland must also be present in women. Get it?
Many women report that their G-area is more sensitive to stimulation than other parts of their vagina. To find your very own G-spot, put two fingers in your pussy and curve them upwards, like toward your belly. Now make a "come here" motion, stroking the upper wall of your vagina with a firm, upward pressure. Feel that? That's your G-spot, darlin'! How fun is this?
Fingering yourself like this will probably be more pleasurable if you're already aroused. Some women have orgasms and/or ejaculate from G-spot stimulation, but not all women ejaculate and not all women find G-spot stimulation pleasurable….wouldn't ya just know it!
Some women report that they feel like they need to pee when their G-Spot is stimulated. Therefore, I suggest. that before you go rootin' around in your pussy lookin' for your g-spot, that you completely empty your bladder. Oh and make sure your fingers are well lubricated throughout your exploration. Even if you have a lot of your own vaginal lubrication, I always suggest the use of a water-based lubricant to augment your own juices.
We all know that post-menopausal women experience bouts of vaginal dryness, but even younger women have dry episodes, especially if they are taking antihistamines or antidepressants.
If ya want to hit your G-spot while fucking, may I suggest you try "the woman-on-top — cowgirl" position or the "doggy" position. These are best because your partner's dick will be better situated to hit the front wall of your pussy.
***Guys, most women need firmer pressure to the front of their pussy to have a G-Spot orgasm. This might best be accomplished by quick strokes and a lot of deeper friction.
Like I mentioned earlier, G-Spot stimulation may cause you to ejaculate a small amount of white or clear fluid. Some women produce more ejaculate than others. Just remember, the gushers…the ones you see in porno movies…are faked for your viewin' pleasure. I mean, come on; some of these videos would scare the fuck out of Noah!
Enjoy your exploration, T. Like I always say, the more you know about the mysterious workins of your own personal pussy the more information you'll be able to share with your own personal partners.

Good luck ya'll

Shanghai GRAND SLAM | 30 April - 5 May 2013
Shanghai, China, May 1, 2013 – Pedro Solberg Salgado and Bruno Oscar Schmidt from Brazil outlasted German dark horses Mischa Urbatzka and Markus Bockermann in three sets on their way to a pair of wins that sent them to the top of Pool C in the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Shanghai Grand Slam men's Main Draw, which started on Wednesday.
Following a fifth finish in the Fuzhou Open last week, Pedro/Bruno set off to a fine start in Shanghai as they held off Urbatzka/Bockermann, upset winners over American duo Todd Rogers/Ryan Doherty in Tuesday's Qualification Tournament, 2-1 (23-21, 16-21, 15-11) and went on to ease past the Netherlands' Daan Spijkers/Steven van de Velde 2-0 (21-14, 21-15).
"I'm feeling good because in my opinion this was our best match in the World Tour this year," said Pedro after the win over the Dutch duo. "We didn't play well in the last tournament for many reasons, I think we were pretty tired and we arrived the night before we started to play. Today also the first game wasn't easy and this match we didn't need so spend so much power on things that we are used to."
"The German guys had an excellent qualifying. Yesterday they beat Todd Rogers, so I think they started in better shape than us, but in the tiebreak we started to play our level. "I'm excited to wake up tomorrow and play like we are playing right now," said Bruno.
The Brazilians expected to have better performance in the second event and the first Grand Slam of the new season. "We come to the Tour with really high expectations because we did really well in Brazil in such a high level national tournament. We expect to at least play the same level we have been playing there," Pedro added.
Sean Rosenthal/Philip Dalhausser of the United States and Nicolai Paolo/Daniele Lupo of Italy, the gold and silver medal winners in the Fuzhou Open, also took two wins in a row to stay atop in respective pools.
Following an easy win over China's Zhang Lizeng/Li Zhuoxin in the morning, Rosenthal/Dalhausser held off London Olympic gold medallist Julius Brink and his new partner Sebastian Fuchs 2-1 (21-18, 20-22, 15-10) in the afternoon. It was tied at 4-4 before the Americans staged a 6-0 run on back of some fantastic attacks by Dalhausser including a turn-around kill and they never looked back.
"I feel pretty good about our match," said Dalhausser. "A tough match, in tough conditions, against a good team like that, I happy we came out with the win. "Yeah, we had a nice run, we took advantage of the good side and I really served hard into the wind and the wind pushed the ball down."
Meanwhile, local hopes were diminished after Wu Penggen/Wu Jiaxin slipped to an 1-1 record in Pool A. Narrowly escaping an opening upset loss Wedneday morning, the Chinese tandem Wu Penggen and Wu Jiaxin finally stumbled in their second full set match of the day.
It took veteran Wu Penggen and his less experienced partner 53 minutes to collect their opening win 2-1 (21-15, 21-23, 20-18) over Canada's Maverick Hatch/Sam Schachter. With the Chinese taking the first set easily and the score tied at 20-all in the second, Wu made two unforced spiking errors to allow the Canadians level one set back 22-20. The two sides fought point by point in the tiebreaker before Wu Jiaxin won a fight against Hatch over the net to give the Chinese the edge at 19-18 and Wu Penggen clinched the winner with a lucky ace.
However, the host team did not have the same luck in the afternoon, falling to Germany's Eric Koreng/Alexander Walkenhorst 2-1 (13-21, 23-21, 15-8) in 48 minutes.
"I think Jiaxin played OK today. He is only in his third season on the tour and he's got quite a lot to learn. I am satisfied with our fighting spirits despite the loss in the second match," said Wu Penggen, who had captured World Tour titles in Moscow and Marseille in 2010 with Xu Linyin. "We will try our best and improve our play together game by game."
Thirty-two teams are playing a single round robin in eight groups with top three finishers from each group to advance to the 24-team knockout stage.
The double gender Shanghai Grand Slam is the first of a record 10 Grand Slam events on the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar with the women's Main Draw to kick off on Thursday.

Health Complications Found In Celiacs
beefree11 replied to alask06's topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchWhat other illnesses/diseases/etc have you also been tested for? Where would a doctor even begin? How long has the inflammation been going on? The malabsorption of vital nutrients? Could there be something else along with the Celiac not yet tested for symptoms are similar? How much time, money - blood can you spare? A non gluten diet is by far the most helpful for those with issues dealing with gluten. All forms of gluten must be eliminated. (Actually, I am to believe no human should digest any gluten. For there is no benefit and it is just a matter of time before a problem shows in tests) For instance - my daughter was found to have nodules on her thyroid and the left lobe was removed. She was placed on thyroid meds. Her health began a decent downward. She became ill and I insisted that she get tested for mono. Her doctor tested her and found she had an "older" case of mono - but she will always have the Epstein Barr virus showing (which is caused by mono). She was placed on antibiotics and steroids. Never felt 100%. No other tests for anything. She came back home after finishing school and a new doctor tested her for sensitivities. Positive for Corn, Soy, Gluten, Casein, and a few others. This began the gluten free lifestyle. Then a different doctor she was seeing for problems found her to have Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome. Which one happened first? Each new diagnosis was months/years in between. No new illnesses/symptoms to date after going gluten-free around 2009/10. What is in her future? Who knows. By gluten free she is eliminating as much inflammation as she can that will help immensely. We are also organic. Lots of Juicing and Raw Fooding going on. Medicinal TEAS, too Herbal remedies. Homeopathy. SUNSHINE. But we do supplement with Iodine, B-12, etc. We try to find Genetically Modified FREE, too. Our water is filtered. Our air is filtered. Our linens and clothing is organic. We use NO chemicals in the home or on our body. Her doctor recently began treating her for YEAST in her stomach. Hmmmmm - could this be the original culprit? Is cancer simply fungus? Remove all those items that get moldy: grains for sure and keep one step ahead, I suppose. With each new set of symptoms or complaints come the tests and hopefully the CORRECT diagnosis and treatment. Which came first tho - the celiac or the others that symptoms took longer to appear? Who knows. Diet will help. Always. Not just for celiac sufferers. But diet is the cure for Celiac. Maybe for other diseases/illnesses as well.
Newbee To This...
beefree11 replied to John from Canada's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac DiseaseThe good in all that is that your doctor has tested you and is treating you. Your diet will be the main issue. Then your support in the way of nutrients, supplements, vitamins and medications. I was never tested for gluten/celiac. I was found to have gallstones, ulcers, migraines and IBS. Oh, almost forgot reflux. As soon as the xrays were read and reports written, I was given many prescriptions and a xerox copy of some diet to follow. With the bill ; / Truly, I feel my main culprit was possibly a system wide yeast infection, but no doctor would consider this. So I changed my own diet. All organic. Now gluten free and no genetically modified. I will not touch any grain. Sugar. Or those items that contain them. No alcohol at this time, too. Gave up cigarettes. Switched to green teas. It was a major life change. I have been symptom free since 2007. My hope is that you give yourself time to heal. Don't let your guard down. It is not easy, but you are not alone. Take care.
Celiac Vs. Gluten Intolerance
beefree11 replied to BZBee's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac DiseaseMy daughter has two blood tests that will only claim a "sensitivity." Her doctor let her decide if she wanted the more invasive procedure to determine damage/inflammation. She declined the biopsy. He said either way she MUST eliminate all gluten. We have. It's family members that scoff. Even with the two separate blood tests showing positive results. Since going gluten-free (I joined her in support -- I am a confirmed IBS sufferer--I did have that awful scope), we are MUCH healthier. Took a couple of hard long years to get here but -- YAY. IT WORKS!! Best of health and good vibes your way. Gluten is a mess. Don't deal with it
First Week Gluten Free - Looking For Answers
beefree11 replied to Smith317's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseHello! Congratulations on the wedding coming up!! (My daughter is much like you: reaction to corn, soy, gluten, casein, egg whites) She has Hashimoto's and hypothyroid. Then came the mono/Epstein Barr virus. The gluten sensitivity. Then we found poly-cystic ovarian syndrome. Isn't mono and Epstein Barr and chronic fatigue pretty much the same? Isn't it a life long virus that can be reactivated? Have you been thoroughly tested for thyroid issues? Seems much of this goes hand in hand with thyroid and Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, too. Just a thought. And, did you know some of the environmentally safe cleaners use soy? I was buying BABY clothing soap and it contains soy Be careful out there. Here is something I found about Epstein Barr and neck pain, recently: Authors: Shokouhi G, Naghili B. University/Hospital: Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran Journal: Neurosurgery. 2005 May;56(5):E1158 Introduction: The authors present the case of a young boy whose acquired tonsillar herniation (Chiari) resolved after conservative treatment for the Epstein-Barr virus. Patient 1: 6 year old boy had headaches in the back of his head for one weak, neck pain, and balance problems. Upon examination, he was found to have a fever and sore throat as well. Neurological exam showed abnormal reflexes in his arms and legs. Blood tests showed some irregularities as did a spinal tap. MRI showed that his cerebellar tonsils had herniated to the level of C1. Treatment: The doctors suspected that the herniation was due to swelling related to the Epstein-Barr virus and chose to treat it conservatively. Outcome: Three weeks later the boy was asymptomatic. Two months later a follow-up MRI showed the tonsils were higher, but had not returned completely to their normal position. Author's Discussion: The authors point out that this is a rare complication of the Epstein-Barr virus and go on to emphasize that in cases where the Chiari is thought to be acquired, treating the underlying problem may resolve the Chiari. http://www.conquerchiari.org/subs%20only/Volume%203/Issue%203%286%29/Case%20Studies%203%286%29.html
Glutening Reactions
beefree11 replied to Missdoodle's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseWe don't eat any food unless it is prepared by us. Health risk isn't worth it. Even though you "feel" fine, there is no way of knowing if there is destruction/inflammation occurring while going to the restaurant, the party, etc. Know what I mean? We call the banquet halls about special diet restrictions *I know of a couple wedding venues that allowed the newly married to bring their OWN food - why not a guest, as well? Family parties -- we bring our own in individual containers, almost like lunch bags. For there is always someone wanting to fork the salad we bring, or try something with those glutenous fingers. GIFTS! Yes even some seemingly harmless looking baskets of lotions, shampoos, etc are donated due to items containing wheat products. It does get easier. Good luck and good health to you
Biopsy Necessity
beefree11 replied to beefree11's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsUPDATE -- She graduated *with honors. Actually was chosen to represent school in a sales competition in another state and she truly enjoyed it. Had to hire a cab to get to a store to buy some gluten-free foods since the school did zilch - but they reimbursed her the cab fare and food bills so all is ok. I am just upset there is still NO change as far as food sensitivity goes in many schools/universities, etc. Sad. She did well and found a great job a couple months after graduating. YAY. She is still on the thyroid meds: Cytomel and Synthroid. She does supplement with Iodoral *iodine and her doc is fine with that. He has been treating/medicating for yeast overgrowth. No actual test to diagnose tho. The only sugar she does eat is what is in the apples or berries. Very rarely does she have any type of sugary gluten-free treat like cookies/cakes, etc. I think it might be a good idea to test those with sensitivites for any type of yeast issue. Just a hunch. She is still fighting weight issues. She works so hard on diet and working out. So I am dieting to help her, too! Can't hurt. We are sooo close to going RAW it isn't funny. BUT we are still dealing with a family member that insists on eating as much GLUTEN as possible and leaving a trail of crumbs wherever he goes The more he is told to clean, remove, cut down, the MORE items he purchases. We have noticed one of the dogs may be allergic too. Not tested. He turns bright pink (hes a hefty bichon). Itchy. Even the brain issues. As if he is trying to claw out of his own skin! Then, the stomach noises. Must be painful for he takes off as if he was pinched. Oy. Gluten bad!!! I have filed for separation from him last August. Not just because of his total unwillingness to acknowledge his own daughter's health issue by at least cleaning up crumbs, spills, etc - or hey, give gluten-free a try for a little bit, but just the overall lack of empathy. He DOESN'T CARE. Can't be bothered. She can just move. (Gee, thanks Dad). It is what it is. :* ( Daughter and I are going to try to keep the house since we have alot of organic veggies and fruits-- and trying herbs this summer -- started as seedlings now. Our first attempt at organic gardening last year was amazing. We just walked in the back yard and grabbed fresh lettuce, eggplant *thought it was a cucumber plant , carrots, leeks, tomatoes -- strawberries and raspberries. I was shocked I could get them to grow at all!! It's all good. Hope everyone is feeling great. We are enjoying the return of SUNSHINE and normal temps finally! Happy Spring to all ~~Bee
Help...my College Freshman Was Just Diagnosed
beefree11 replied to SSage's topic in Friends and Loved Ones of CeliacsHi. Not sure if anyone mentioned personal products that contain gluten. My daughter (college senior) decided to remove ALL personal care items that contained gluten and/or its forms since she also had issues/sensitivities to OTHER ingredients. But it might be something to consider. Then those pesky additives that don't actually list GLUTEN, but are: My link Hidden sources of gluten -- My link
Not 100%, but I found this: My link Actually, this is "Erin's link" Not mine I am just copy/pasting for you!! This company---True Protein---http://www.trueprotein.com/Product_Details.aspx?cid=22&pid=6816
Gluten Free Shampoo Etc?
beefree11 replied to glutenfreegirl's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseWell, could it be similar to cross contamination? I think so. I know my daughter won't use items containing gluten. She does get symptoms: rash, itchiness, etc. But there could also be damage underway once it gets into your bloodstream, via skin. I would not take the chance.
Newly Diagnosed
beefree11 replied to Jill0711's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Diseasewelcome Jill This is THE place for help and suggestions. Right now Im gonna hit the recipes. I understand how you must stop yourself and it will take some time. I must dedicate half of my cooking time - first, for my daughter's gluten-free meals then prepare my husbands meals. He is slowly coming around to becoming gluten-free to help our daughter, but it isn't easy for him. I am still learning about cross contamination (sometimes the hard way with daughter becoming ill ). Any questions, feel free to ask.
Need Advice With Thyroid Problems
beefree11 replied to mygfworld's topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchMy daughter had her right lobe removed in 2005 after nodules were found. There was no cancer. Her blood tests revealed Hashimoto's and thyroiditis, so she was placed on T4 only-Synthroid. Her doses were changed constantly with each new blood test. Until 2009, when her new doctor placed her on Cytomel too. She has been doing very well. He also found that she is gluten intolerant, allergic to wheat, casein/cow milk, soy, corn/maize and eggs. She still has her left lobe. She is also on a very small amount of Iodoral iodine, and feels pretty good in comparison to when she was on the T4 only regimen.
What If I Ignore It?
beefree11 replied to Booseebean's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseI like this! A great way to sum it up, I feel. I recently replied to a woman who claimed that her husband and young son are celiac, but if they happen to eat "just a little" they don't have any problems with it. So she feels they have a minor case of celiac. She truly believes since they are not symptomatic, there is no reason to be careful, especially with cross contamination. She equates the absence of serious symptoms to the level, or degree, of the disease. "Since they don't get real sick with a little gluten, I don't really worry about it"
When my daughter went gluten free she removed it as much as humanely possible for months, but in a weak moment took a chance on eating teeny tiny bite of gluteny pizza. Disaster! Learned never to do that ever again. Thru her own experimentation, she just cannot have any. She limits gluten free breads/cookies/etc, just in case. A friend of hers who claims to be allergic to wheat can eat anything containing gluten and wheat, in mass quantity - and have NO reaction. Lucky? Or is there major damage going on inside? Who knows. Gluten free is just that: GLUTEN FREE. Who can actually know how much is causing serious damage, but not necessarily the symptoms? Why take a chance on that? Unless you have a little window, or get biopsied repeatedly, you are not going to know how much gluten is causing serious damage, even though you are not symptomatic. Like those who drink alcohol to excess but seem fine. Damage is STILL going on. To the stomach wall, intestines, LIVER. Them may be able to walk/talk/drive just fine, but what is it doing inside, where the damage takes place? As for the second question, most of my daughter's friends/family collectively agree that food allergies need to be taken very, very seriously. We have one or two that just can't be bothered but I believe that is a flaw with them personally. ( It's just too complicated to adjust menus to accommodate just one or two members of the family. Nice, huh? Oh well.) The majority of the family/friends are serious. And welcome the chance to offer fresh, non allergen containing foods/drinks. Some go so far as to remove gluten residue on counters, etc and prepare so as not to contaminate. No offers of a gluten free Thanksgiving yet, though. lol.
The FermPlus and Olive Leaf extract sound vedddy interesting! thanks Skylark.
I had symptoms of hunger after eating when I was dxd with a peptic ulcer. I am not celiac/gluten intol at all. Are you on supplemental vitamins? As for the skin - there is a thread here : http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/forum/26-dermatitis-herpetiformis/ that could answer some questions for you! Hope this helps.

Both goals scored in second half
Taft College made just two goals out in 29 tries, but it was enough for the Cougar women's soccer team to score a 2-0 win Tuesday over visiting Allan Hancock College. It was the season opener.
Sophomore midfielder/forward Joanna Espinoza scored a goal and had an assist to lead an offense that struggled to get the ball into the net.
"I thought the girls did a great job," said head coach Myisha Cutrona. "They did a great job of possessing the ball but had a little trouble scoring. We had 29 shots on goal but just scored two goals. That was a little disappointing because we were definitely the better team."
Cristina Salazar, a freshman midfielder/forward from Bakersfield High, drilled home the first goal in the 69th minute after a scoreless first half.
Espinoza, a sophomore who prepped at Highland in Bakersfield, got the assist, then came back 19 minutes later to score the clincher on a pass from Emily Galland, a freshman midfielder from Bakersfield's Liberty High.
Cutrona singled out the work of sophomore defender Daisy Guitron, a Taft High product, and midfielder Rebecca Vazquez, a freshman from Highland.
"They both played a phenomenal game," Cutrona said.
Sophomore defender Kaylnn Talaotu-Kealoha of Hawaii also received accolades.
"She's not a starter but got a chance to start for us because the regular starter was late for practice," the coach said. "She really made the most of that opportunity."
Goalkeeper Lizette Gomez of Shafter worked the net, deflecting all four Bulldog shot attempts.
Cutrona wants her team to play a more disciplined scheme when the Cougars travel to Salinas today for the Hartnell College tournament. TC plays host Hartnell at noon today and takes on Cabrillo Saturday at 2.
"The mistakes we made could hurt us if we can't correct them," she said. "We're not as disciplined as I would like us to be."
One of the things Cutrona likes most about her team is its depth.
"We have subs who are gamers," she said. "That's nice to see. I've never had that before. I usually have nine strong starters but not many subs. With this team I have 11 strong starters and subs to keep it strong."
Men stranded
Meanwhile, the Cougar men didn't make it to their Tuesday evening match in Santa Barbara. Their charter bus broke down and the team had to return home. The game was re-scheduled for Thursday.

The Religious Right Didn't Kill George Tiller - The left tries to smear 'Christianists' as akin to Islamic extremists.
"There is no appreciable number of people in this country, religious Christians or otherwise, who support the murder of abortion doctors. The same cannot be said of Muslims who support suicide bombings in the name of their religion."

Miniature Mardi Gras Float
Age: Preschool through elementary
Time: An afternoon
Type of activity: Arts and Crafts
Materials needed:
· Shoe box with lid (one for each float you'll make)
· Scissors
· Glitter, tissue paper, construction paper, aluminum foil, paint, paintbrushes, or other decorative materials
· Glue
What to do:
Step One: Pick a theme for your float. Be creative when choosing your theme. It could be anything you like -- your favorite movie, a pet, one of your heroes.
Step Two: Remove the lid from the shoebox, turn the box upside down on the table and glue the lid (so that it stands up) to one end. Now your float will have a back.
Step Three: Decorate your float using tinfoil, tissue paper, glitter, paint, markers, and other materials.

(from abcnews.go.com
by Hillel Italie)
n what may be his last remarks at a public gathering, Philip Roth accepted Yaddo's first ever Artist Medal and spoke gratefully of his time at the venerable retreat in the summer of 1964.
"I arrived at the gates of Yaddo — discouraged, sad, a little desperate," Roth said, explaining to the hundreds gathered at the Edison Ballroom in midtown Manhattan that he was in a creative slump and personal crisis, having endured a bitter and impoverishing divorce.
At Yaddo, he said, he encountered no harsh reviews calling his acclaimed debut book, "Goodbye, Columbus," a fluke. He could forget about the judge who during his divorce proceedings had told him that "rather than publishing short stories in The Paris Review for $50 dollars apiece" he "should instead write for the movies. 'Go West, young man.'"
"My manifest destiny was Yaddo," said Roth, who at the Saratoga Springs-based artist colony completed most of his ribald classic "Portnoy's Complaint" and in subsequent visits worked on "The Breast" and "The Great American Novel."
Not everyone was sure Roth would show up Wednesday, including fellow author and former Yaddo resident Alison Lurie, who introduced Roth and noted that last week he had allegedly sworn off speaking at public events. After he gave a reading at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y, Roth insisted that it was "absolutely the last appearance" he would "make on any public stage, anywhere," according to The New York Times.
Roth did not refer to those remarks on Wednesday. But when The Associated Press emailed his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, and asked whether Roth had given his last public talk, Wylie responded, "That's his last."
One of the world's most honored authors, the 81-year-old Roth has a history of both keeping and stepping back from public vows. He revealed in 2012 that he had stopped writing books and, after dependably turning out a book a year during the previous decade, has published nothing since the 2010 novel "Nemesis." But he also said that a New York Times interview he granted in 2012 was his last. He has since spoken to a Television Critics Association panel and responded to questions from the cultural editor of Svenska Dagbladet, a Swedish publication.
If Wednesday night was his farewell, note that he was dressed in a dark jacket and pants, no tie, and shared the bill with The New York Racing Association, a neighbor and sponsor of Yaddo. He spoke briefly, but managed to leave the audience with a run of memorable images and turns of phrase.
When he first came to Yaddo, he recalled that his closest companion was an Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter on which, he lamented, he could "write nothing but crap." He praised the healing powers of his "unprepossessing cabin," the sandwich and celery stalk contained in his lunch pail and the decadent stack of pancakes he was served in the mornings.
"And yet breakfast mitigates all," he stated.
Wylie told the AP that he was not aware of any more scheduled public events for Roth. During his acceptance speech, Roth joked about a possible return.
"Next week I'm getting an honorary doctorate from the Jewish Theological Seminary," the lifelong nonbeliever said, "and will be introduced by Mae West."

The actor reveals he and the former "Cheers" star are "working on" their issues and remain close.
He tells TV news show Extra, "We're actually still together, just separate – but together."
And asked if there's any chance of a reconciliation, the actor replies, "We're working on it."
The couple has been married for 30 years.

ISLAMABAD - The Ministry of Planning, Development and Reform (MPDR) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have launched the fifth National MDG Report for Pakistan which stated Pakistan has shown consistent, though slow, progress on many of the MDGs.
The report assesses progress towards achieving the MDGs, galvanising efforts for a final push for their achievement. The report records successes and challenges, and shares initial thoughts on the post-2015 development agenda for Pakistan. For the first time, this MDGR includes a review of sub-national and district level status and trends. UNDP Pakistan is also launching an Internet MDG monitor to make up-to-date information on the country's MDG progress. The MDGs are a set of 8 goals adopted by 189 countries, including Pakistan in 2000 and to be achieved by 2015. The MDGs provide concrete, numerical benchmarks for tackling extreme poverty in its many dimensions. Pakistan has adopted 16 targets and 41 indicators against which progress is measured and reported. According to the MDG Report 2013, Pakistan is likely to reach to ten of the indicators, while the progress on many others indicate that additional and more focussed efforts are needed in order to be able to reach close to these. Pakistan has shown consistent, though slow, progress on many of the MDGs. The Government has already geared up efforts to achieve the target set for achieving Universal Primary Education, and the Net Primary Enrolment Ratio. The recent enrolment drive is an effort towards achieving these targets.
Professor Ahsan Iqbal, Federal Minister of Planning, Development and Reform, Government of Pakistan, thanked the UN and other development partners for their support in pushing the national development agenda forward and for driving progress on the Millennium Development Goals, which are in fact Pakistan's National Development Goals. He stressed that had the level of support from the development partners been according to the plan, Pakistan would have performed much better in terms of achieving most of the MDGs. Underlining the importance of National MDG Report, he said that it takes stock of the national milestones and successful policies/programmes/ initiatives around the MDGs and provides a robust fact base and repository of data for informed and evidence based policies formulation in the country, provinces and regions. He said that while the country is lagging on most MDG targets and faces a host of challenges impacting the pace of progress; the Government is committed to work toward the achievement of MDGs, in particular towards investing in its people. He said MDGs are in reality National Development Goals, which are critical for development of the country. People have to be at centre of all development strategies and goals for sustainable and inclusive growth. Quality of human resource determines quality of development. In post eighteenth amendment scenario, there is greater need for collaboration among all stakeholders. Pakistan 2025 puts human development at the top of development agenda. He underscored the need for collective efforts led by the provincial, regional and federal government together with civil society, academia and other development partners to expedite progress on achieving the MDGs.
He highlighted the development of the MDG Acceleration Framework for Education as a successful exercise in which this is occurring.
Ms. Marriyum Aurangzeb, Parliamentary Secretary for Interior and Narcotics Control and Convener of the Parliamentary Task Force on MDGs elaborated on the objective of the Task Force and the formation of similar groups at the provincial level. These groups have oversight on the implementation of the Millennium Acceleration Framework on Education and Pakistan's Priorities in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, coordinating with the provinces and the national government. She described the importance of credible, authentic and comparable data, which plays a critical role in tracking, monitoring and evaluating social sector reforms to inform policy making. She also highlighted the importance of peace, security and stability in the implementation of social sector reforms.
Ms. Aurangzeb urged civil society, bilateral and multilateral partners, media and the private sector to support a unified national agenda for social sector reform in the country.
Haoliang Xu, UN Assistant Secretary General and the new UNDP Director for Asia and the Pacific highlighted the setbacks Pakistan has encountered in the form of natural disasters, a deteriorating law and order situation and the global financial crisis, in spite of which progress has been made on some MDG indicators. He noted the commendable performance of other South Asian countries such as Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh on achieving the MDGs vis-a-vis Pakistan and emphasised the need for South-South learning. Pakistan can learn a lot from countries in South Asia with better MDG performance. He noted that the Pakistan MDG report analyses disparities and inequalities across different geographical areas and gender. The report identifies rising income and gender inequalities as one of the main development challenges, not only for Pakistan, but also for the world as a whole.
Four lessons from other countries in South Asia on accelerating progress toward achieving the MDGs were highlighted: 1) social policies are as important as economic policies; 2) investing in women and girls has multiple, strong benefits for all MDGs; 3) public sector expenditure on the social sector is important, especially spending on education, 4) governance issues at the country level can be a major constraint.
He also commended the efforts of the MPDR in prioritising some of these issues in the Vision 2025 and the 11th Five Year Plan and creating synergies and closing links between policies and strategies at the national and sub-national levels.

John Burroughs occupies a permanent place in American literature. Though he was a leading literary critic in his day, he was a pioneer in the new school of nature writing and the most popular writer of his period in the field he made his own. Burroughs' legacy of some twenty-five volumes, of which more than a million and a half copies were sold during his lifetime, has had a profound influence on our appreciation of nature.
The rustic cabin of John Burroughs was built in 1895 a mile and a half from his home on the Hudson. It served as a retreat for the naturalist for the last twenty years of his life as a place where he could write, study nature, and entertain his friends. Burroughs wrote some of the essays at Slabsides, a National Historic Landmark, that made him America's foremost nature writer of his time.

The Magnificent Art of Rowland B. Wilson
Now, tear your eyes away from the nekkid ladies for a minute...
... and take a closer look at all the wonderful stuff going on in the other parts of the picture!
This guy could paint!
Here are a few more Rowland B. Wilson Playboy cartoons, all courtesy of Mike Vosburg. Thanks Mike!
What a wonderful sense of design and composition Wilson had...
... not to mention his dazzling use of colour!
* I'm away this week, but I'll still try to get a few more of Mike Vosburg's Rowland B. Wilson scans posted each day. Enjoy!
12 comments:
Not that I'm aware of, Shoki - but there's quite a bit of his work on the Internet. If you read about him from his obituary you'll be amazed at all the major projects he's been involved with over the years. We've all been touched by his work at some point in our lives and perhaps didn't know it.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the reply and this post, he has a new fan in me.ReplyDelete
Now to go image hunting!
I remember seeing Rowland's work in the late 70's because his daughter was a classmate of mine at SVA....we were both in Harvey Kurtzman's class....thanks for posting these Leif...ReplyDelete
Most of those old Playboy cartoonists were very skilled all-around artists in general--Dedini had a real painter's sensibility, and surprisingly, Jack Cole was magnificently adept with a brush as well.ReplyDelete
My personal favourites were John Dempsey, Buck Brown, Eldon Dedini, Al Stine, Jack Cole and Phil Interlandi.
Great stuff! Thanks for posting these.ReplyDelete
I guess its like that old saying "You can't see the forrest for the trees."ReplyDelete
An awesome talent and a wonderful, warm and funny man. He is very badly missed...ReplyDelete
One of his influences was Vernon Grant. You can kind of see it in some of the architecture....
These are beautiful, the purple and blue in the shadows on the guys neck in that close up, the texture of the snow in the winter scene. What media is this, Gouache, Oils? They're gorgeous on so many levels and confirm how badly cartooning has eroded.ReplyDelete
A compliment for this crazy side. Actually I knocked through chance on that and thought myself to leave behind a nice entry and many greetings.ReplyDelete

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has stated that his Spanish team-mate and new Manchester City winger Jesus Navas is just as good as Tottenham's Gareth Bale.
The Spaniard spent 10 years with Sevilla in La Liga and came up against Iniesta on numerous occasions, but the winger recently left Spain in order to join Manchester City for an initial £14.9m
New City boss Manuel Pelligrini was keen to make Navas one of his first signings and wrapped the deal up pretty quickly - and Iniesta has been quoted saying it is a very special signing for Man City.
The Spain star then went on to talk about Navas' skill and pace and likened him to Bale, who set the Premier League alight last season with his sensational performances for Tottenham.
Bale went on to pick three individual awards at the end of last season and Iniesta believes Navas is just as good.
"He's going to cause the defences in the Premier League a real problem when he plays for City," Iniesta told the Sunday Mirror. "Jesus has so much speed, and his feet are so quick, that it becomes nearly impossible to stop him without fouling him.
"The only player that I can compare him with that is already playing in England is Gareth Bale."

Pit Bikes and Dirt Bikes
- Clearance Pit Bikes
- Pit Bikes by Size
- Pit Bikes by Manufacturer
- Transmission Type
- Top Selling Pit Bikes
A pit bike is a small off-road/on-road motorcycle originally used for riding around the pits or staging area of a motocross race. Since the early 2000s pit bike racing, a sport similar to motocross, has become popular in the United States, especially in Southern California. The name pit bike originated from the use of a Honda Z50 to ride around the pit areas of dirt bike races and race events across the United States. The fairly cheap price and the mobility of these bikes made them easy to use at racing events. By the time the trend caught, Honda had changed the name from Z50 to XR50 in 1999 and made great changes to the bike. A few of these changes include a plastic gas tank, single rear shock, spoke wheels, seat, plastics, total redesign of the frame, and the total appearance of the bike. As teenagers and young adults began to show interest in Z50's, companies started to be formed which make upgraded aftermarket parts for pit bikes that make them comfortable and powerful for bigger riders. Some of these parts include heavy duty suspension, tall handle bars, tall seats, and big bore kits. As more and more people put these upgraded parts on their Z50's their popularity grew and lead to pit bike races across the United States.
In 2002, Kawasaki came out with the KLX110. This bike, as with Honda's XR50, was designed for smaller riders. The KLX110 is bigger and faster than an CRF50 and has a greater top speed so it needs fewer parts to make it comfortable for bigger riders. Pit bike riders realized this and started moving their focuses to the KLX110. Due to the popularity of the sport, many pit bike race series have appeared in various parts of the United States. Some examples of such series are the 2-Up Minis and Masters of Minis race series, the Sho-Me series in Missouri, and the annual Mini Moto Supercross race held the day before the final round of the AMA Pro Supercross series. Since 2003, starting with the SDG Speed Mini, an alternative to upgraded kids' bikes became available. In 2003 Xtreme Motor Corp, a company founded by ex-motocross champ Guy Cooper, and SDG began producing fully upgraded Chinese pit bikes, unfortunately in 2009 they went out of business. These pit bikes were designed around the Honda CRF-50's frame and used larger displacement engines, as well as tall handle bars, stronger suspension, and various other upgrades. The demand for these production minis was not quite as great as these companies had anticipated. Currently available production pit bikes include Coolster, SSR, WMX, APOLLO, and ORION. Companies like OGM, Thumpstar, and Sikk MX no longer have any pit bikes for sale.

If you are involved with a scene that is contaminated with blood, bodily fluids or other biohazards, as a result of a death, decomposition or serious accident, please visit CleanupDirectory.com. Contact with these elements can cause serious illness and other health problems. Please keep friends and family members away from the scene.
Many of our members have been working with compulsive hoarders for over twenty years. They will treat your situation with care and compassion and treat you with dignity and respect. Our members will attempt to locate and save important documents and items of a sentimental nature, while working to return your home to a livable condition.
Unattended death and decomposition is a serious issue. The accompanying odor and other biohazards associated with a decomposition should never be left to a family member or friend to deal with. Specialized training is needed to remove the odor and to properly dispose of the remains in accordance with local and federal laws.
Crime Scene Cleanup involves the response of trained technicians to a scene following a criminal act that results in the loss of blood or bodily fluids. Crimes of this nature typically involve a death resulting from a homicide (murder) or manslaughter. Following the investigation of the crime, which can often take weeks, technicians will suit up in personal protective equipment (PPE) and commence the cleaning process. Depending on the location of the crime, parts of furniture may need to be cleaned or removed, as well as parts of the carpeting and portions of walls and floors, all of which can be replaced.
After a person dies, the body begins the decomposition process. If left for a period of time, the decomposing body will emit a strong foul odor. In addition, the decay process will cause blood and other fluids to saturate the area around the body. These fluids will often penetrate floor coverings and subfloor material. If left for a long enough period, fluids may run underneath furniture and walls. The cleanup process can be extensive and time consuming. Typically, portions of the floor will have to be removed. Affected furniture may have to be properly disposed of in accordance with local and federal laws.
Following the discovery of a suicide, and after the scene has been released, suicide cleanup technicians from CleanupDirectory.com will respond to the scene. As this will be a very difficult time for you and your family, responding technicians will perform their job with the utmost respect, care and compassion. During the process, they will make every attempt to clean and restore sentimental items.
Not all blood related scenes involve a criminal act or a death. Often serious accidents will result in large amounts of blood and bodily fluids that require an area to be properly cleaned and disinfected. These types of accidents often occur in factories and warehouses, however they may occur anywhere at any time. If you are party to an accident with blood and other fluids, please contact CleanupDirectory.com.

Members of CleanupDirectory.com have helped thousands of hoarders turn their lives around. Compulsive hoarding is not something that our members take lightly. While often dealing directory with the hoarder, it is more common to work with a third party, such as a friend or family member. Either way, it's important for responding technicians to know what is to be discarded and what should be kept. Technicians should take the time to locate important papers, money, jewelry and other keepsakes and box those items to be kept in a secure location. Our members are here for you and will work with you to help restore your home to a habitable condition.
The following excerpt has been provided by OSHA. "OSHA estimates that 5.6 million workers in the health care industry and related occupations are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and others. All occupational exposure to blood or Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM) place workers at risk for infection with bloodborne pathogens. OSHA defines blood to mean human blood, human blood components, and products made from human blood. Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM) means:
Federal Regulation 29CFR1910.1030 states that no employer can expose an employee to cleaning blood or bodily fluids without first providing:
1. Blood borne pathogen training
2. A written exposure control plan
3. Personal protective equipment
4. The opportunity to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine
5. Receive exposure evaluation and follow up
5. A method to remove, store and dispose of bio-hazardous waste
Non-compliance with 29CFR1910.1030 has resulted in OSHA fines ranging from $7,000 to $70,000.
The following excerpt has been provided by OSHA.
"OSHA requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective in reducing these exposures to acceptable levels. Employers are required to determine if PPE should be used to protect their workers.
If PPE is to be used, a PPE program should be implemented. This program should address the hazards present; the selection, maintenance, and use of PPE; the training of employees; and monitoring of the program to ensure its ongoing effectiveness."

How to prevent young radicalisation?
In September 2015, Tamimount Essaide, Director of the Maison de Quartier St Antoine in Brussels, met Saliha Ben Ali, a mother whose 19-year-old-son died in Syria after joining ISIL. Mrs. Ben Ali is the founder of Society Against Violent Extremism. Together with MQSA and Women Without Borders they launched the Mother's School as a tool to understand and combat the reality of young people embracing extremism. "We receive the call of mothers concerned about the future of their children, and mothers can be the first to notice sadness or isolation in a child, so they can play a role of safeguard and early warning" explained Tamimount. During 15 weeks at Mother's School, the participants acquire a better understanding of their children's environment, learn how to do intelligent prevention and reinforce the affective ties between parents and children".
This initiative exemplifies an idea shared by all speakers at the conference: the first battleground to overcome youth marginalisation and prevent violent radicalisation is the local level.
A firm defender of the local approach is the winner of the World Mayor Prize 2016, the mayor of Mechelen-Belgium, Bart Somers who started addressing two inconvenient truths: "first, nearly 4.200 young Europeans have joined ISIL and if the number of violent radicalised joining ISIL keeps going up it will be impossible for security services to follow them. Secondly, de-radicalisation is very difficult, it takes a lot of time and money and success is not guarantee". That's why he's betting on prevention and overcoming marginalisation.
"We don't need more police or special laws, the first things to do is an inclusive policy at the local level, you need to create security in your city, don't allow neighbourhoods to be without services, with criminals as a role model" stated Mechelen mayor. He also pointed out that even if we say we live in a multicultural society, "in many cities people don't live with each other but next to each other, in archipelagos of monoculture societies". He stressed the importance of having mixed schools, sport and youth clubs. In Mechelen, there's a Football club, with young players from different cultural backgrounds, but besides playing football they do homework together and if they receive bad marks at school they can't play the next week. There's also a Boxing Club, founded by an ex drug dealer, that gathers the most vulnerable youngster. They learn how to box with the condition of keeping a good record at school and if they fight once on the street they are out of the club.
For Caterina Chinnici, Co-Chair of the European Parliament Intergroup on Children's Rights "the combat against marginalisation and discrimination should be the first priority at European level. Prevention and reintegration has to be done through education". That's not a new approach, she remembers how her father Rocco Chinnici, a judge who was assassinated in 1983 by the mafia, "innovated in criminal law as he was the first magistrate to meet and raise awareness among young people, as a tool to prevent radicalisation".
As Adélaide Vanhove from the International Juvenile Justice Observatory alerted; "prison is the worst place for young people with problems, because there's a risk that they become radicalised and recruited inside jail". She remarks that "little consideration has been given to the fact that some of the suspected or alleged terrorist could be children or underage juveniles. There are no children adapted policies in the field of counter terrorism in most EU Member States". Vanhove believes that "repressive measures are no longer sufficient, they may even have the opposite effect" and she urges the adoption of a new strategy based on prevention. That's why the Observatory launched the project "The prevention of juvenile radicalisation: Promotion of the use of alternatives to detention through judicial training" (2016-2018). The aim is to share good practices between judges, prosecutors, court officers, lawyers, mediators and policy makers. They will create a manual and e-learning training course that will help judiciary workers tackle the issue of radicalisation in detention and study alternatives to detention, including community and family based approaches to de-radicalisation.
In countering radicalisation volunteering also has a role to play. As the CEV director Gabriella Civico put it, "negative stereotypes fuel hate-filled action and volunteering has the power to break stereotypes and promote understanding and tolerance of differences, thus preventing extremism". She insisted that volunteering builds community, resilience and it occupies the space where strategies to prevention can be implemented. However, Civico was also critic with the traditional civil society that "is not addressing radicalisation and countering extremism ideology, due to lack of competence and fear from receiving a backlash from society that could see it as a softening crime, and therefore a risk of losing their funding".
Tamimount has not received specific funding for the Mother's School, but they are already preparing the next edition for September. Mrs Essaidi stressed the idea that radicalised youngsters had join terrorist groups because "they felt heard". She acknowledged that de-radicalisation is as difficult as getting someone out a sect. Her face shines when she recalls a case of a 15-year-old that joined a terrorist group in Syria and then because of the work of familiar reconstruction, was able to come back and disengage from violent extremism. As Mrs Essaidi concludes "the mother here played a crucial role, but also the local authorities who gave him a second chance, he's now in his first year of medicine."

Project JR 2.0Posted in Project Vehicles on June 1, 2010
Remember this Jeep? If you're a long-time reader we're betting you will. It's the '99 Cherokee we purchased from Collins Bros Jeep back in '02 and introduced to you in the Nov. '03 issue of Jp magazine. Since it came from Dallas and had a "Ewing" dealership badge on the tailgate, we named it JR after one of the main characters of that cheesy '80s TV show. During the subsequent buildup the little "badass from Dallas" was transformed into a pretty slick high-speed off-road toy with a worked 4.6L stroker huffing nitrous oxide, a Currie Ford 9-inch with 4.88s and an Eaton Truetrac out back, a trussed Dana 30 front, and a long-arm suspension. In all, it was a great little daily-driver for over 60,000 miles until mechanical troubles and corporate apathy shelved it for a couple years. However, now that the ink is dry on the bill of sale and this little Jeep is finally owned by the staffer who built it, Project JR is coming out of mothballs.
Naturally, during its hibernation some of the trick components were laid to the wayside, put to use on other projects, or just plain disappeared. But no matter, because time marches on and so does technology. In many instances there's much better stuff out there and we intend to redo all the niggling problems that plagued us from the first buildup. And to that end, we're kicking JR's rebirth off with a brand new suspension.
Back in '03 when we first built JR, long-arm suspension systems were new and exciting. However, nowadays off-roaders demand a bit more out of their suspension and we weren't content to keep the clunky control arms and less-than-ideal geometry our old four-link offered. Additionally, we were looking to clean up and simplify things underneath while, at the same time improve the potential for flex. We decided to search for a clean, well-designed three-link suspension as an upgrade to Project JR. Poly Performance brings XJ owners several high-quality long-arm suspension options based off its bolt-on four-link bracket set.
All arrangements use the same superb track bar setup and heavy-duty lower links with Poly Performance's double adjuster sleeve, but the bolt-on four-link brackets give the option of running either the factory upper control arms axle mounts (as a four-link) or utilizing a new weld-on upper control arm axle mount (as a three-link). Why a three-link? In addition to providing more clearance on the driver-side, a three-link has less potential for binding and more potential for flex than a standard four-link suspension. Sometimes less can be more.
We brought our '99 to Poly Performance's San Louis Obispo facility so designer Drew Burroughs and his crew could professionally install the new front suspension. In this first installment we'll familiarize you with some of new suspension's features and show some install highlights. Next time around we'll be dropping the front ride height with some progressive-rate coils from Deaver Spring, debating the benefits of adding air bumps, and bolstering the rear with a set of Poly Performance's absolutely bombproof rear spring hanger brackets.
Poly Performance XJ Three-Link
Here's our new Poly Performance three-link suspension in all its CAD-designed, laser-cut, computer-bent glory. The components really are exceptionally nice. The lower links are 2-inch, 0.250-wall DOM with a slight bend for tire clearance at full lock and OE-style rubber bushings at the axle end. The frame ends feature large Johnny Joints with Poly's double adjuster sleeve that eliminates the need for right/left hand threaded ends and allows easy shortening/lengthening with the links mounted on the vehicle. The upper is 1 3/4-inch, 0.120-wall DOM with Johnny Joints at both ends and weld-in bungs. Of course, you can also opt for pre-built four-link upper control arms that tie into the factory upper axle mounts, but we chose the new three-link upper control arm and axle mount featuring additional gussets. The new track bar bracket and brace tie into preexisting holes in the Unitbody and the track bar is solid 1.25-inch chromoly steel with a polyurethane bushing at the frame, Poly's double adjuster sleeve and a rod end at the axle mount. Also, note the bolt-on four-link brackets. If you're building a competitor or just hate drilling holes, the brackets can be ordered bare and then welded-on instead. But we chose to bolt them on since the majority of at-home installers will probably do it this way. We'll show you the rear spring brackets going on next time.

Global banks, forced by regulators to reduce their dependence on profits from high-risk trading, have rediscovered the appeal of the mundane business of managing money for clients.
Deutsche Bank AG is now counting on the fund unit it failed to sell to help boost return on equity, a measure of profitability. UBS AG is paring investment banking as it focuses on overseeing assets for wealthy clients. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co., three of the five biggest U.S. banks, are considering expanding asset- management divisions as they seek to grab market share from fund companies such as Fidelity Investments.
"Asset management is a terrific business," said Ralph Schlosstein, chief executive officer of Evercore Partners Inc., a New York-based boutique investment bank that last month agreed to buy wealth manager Mt. Eden Investment Advisors LLC. "Asset managers earn fees consistently without risking capital. Compare that to other businesses in the financial services."
Banks will need to overcome the perception that they sometimes push their own funds and improve their middle-of-the- pack performance as money managers if they want to attract assets from investors. Goldman Sachs's stock and bond mutual funds have trailed about 61 percent of their respective peers on average over the five years ended Sept. 30, and about 52 percent over the past three years, according to data from Morningstar Inc. in Chicago. JPMorgan's mutual funds have been beaten by 42 percent of rivals over the past five years, while Wells Fargo's have lagged behind 44 percent, the Morningstar data show.
Steady Fees
Even if banks attract new clients, a renewed focus on asset management may not mitigate the full impact of Basel III capital requirements that will cut into profits firms made from leveraged trading. It probably won't make up for revenue lost to the pending Volcker rule, which curbs lenders receiving federal support from trading for their own accounts.
Still, money management has advantages. It doesn't require a lot of capital, and the investment risks are borne by clients. Unlike businesses such as trading, where results can be volatile, funds produce steady fees based on assets under management. The Standard & Poor's index of asset managers and custody banks has a return on equity of 13.1 percent.
That compares with an average return on equity of 8.3 percent for the 24 firms in the KBW Bank Index, half of what it was in 2006 before the onset of the credit crisis, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Jan 192013
In 1991 the Shannon Art Gallery, 517 Boston Post Road (Where Gamestop and Orange Ale House are located) reportedly was burglarized and a painting was taken.
In December 2012, the Orange Police received a call from the FBI Stolen Art Task Force stating that the painting had been found in New York City.
Because the painting was found over state lines in New York, the Orange Police are obtaining a warrant and working with the FBI to recover it.
Orange Live could not get any more information about this 21 year old case because it is once again an open investigation and the files cannot be released until the case is closed.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
