Most episodes of Wife Swap feature one strict family and one lenient family for purposes of creating drama. The strict families tend to be uptight about most things, but on last night's episode, the mother of the strict family, Terry, was revealed to be a saleswoman for "romance enhancements" (she sells vibrators and lube to women at parties). And although she has a somewhat dirty career for an average suburban mom, she despises dirty language — particularly when spoken by children. Such was the case with Autumn, the 10-year-old little girl in the family that sex-toy-shilling Terry is mothering for two weeks. The kid is either a comedic genius or an evil psycho. You decide from the clip above.

text: Hi Rene, You are right that there are a decent number of MPI implementations out there, all with their pros and cons. There is no "best" implementation, and in fact I would say that the existence of multiple implementations is helpful to the community by providing (a) multiple takes on how to build these libraries, and (b) competition between the implementations to be the "best" at what they think is most important. I'm not sure what you mean by "trouble with the different standards"? All implementations should at this point be striving for complete 2.0 compliance, and there are very few things from 1.x that won't work in a 2.0 compliant system (the group defining the standard went to great pains, as do the developers, to maintain this compatibility). So you shouldn't need those preprocessor variables. What functionality are you finding that you need to test for? I would say that at this time MPICH2 has as much influence as any implementation, because it is being used as the basis for multiple Cray platform implementations, the IBM BG/L implementation, the OSU IB implementation, and of course as-is on Windows, OS X, and Linux clusters. Of course I am part of the MPICH2 team, so I am biased :). OpenMPI will undoubtedly be an influential member of the MPI community once the software is made widely available. That group also has a collection of developers with very good track records in this area, and I look forward to being able to compare and contrast the designs and resulting performance. The big buzz in the MPI world right now is fault tolerance. I think this topic is going to be a hot one for some time, and there are definitely differences of opinion on how the MPI implementation should deal with faults and to what degree and how users should be made aware of failures, both transient and catastrophic. Less visible, but at least as important, is figuring out how best to implement the one-sided (RMA) operations that are part of MPI 2.0. My colleague Rajeev Thakur has (in my opinion) done an excellent job of these, building in part on concepts from the BSP system of old. Figuring out how to make collectives as efficient as possible on new, very large machines is also extremely important for those that have access to these new machines. Gheorghe Almasi from IBM had an excellent paper discussing collectives on the BG/L machine in last year's EuroPVM/MPI conference. Rolf Rabenseifner and Jesper Traff both presented improvements to collective algorithms as well. These two were iterative improvements I'd say, so less exciting in some sense, but it is critical that we make these algorithms as efficient as possible, given the scale of upcoming systems. If you are really interested in what is happening in MPI, the best place by far to look is the EuroPVM/MPI series of conferences and their proceedings. This is where everyone that is serious about MPI implementations is publishing and going to talk with colleagues, and every year the conference attendee list is literally a list of the most knowledgable MPI developers in the world (and hangers-on such as myself).

The following is The Bourbon Guys' contribution to a collaborative effort of many great bloggers, retailers, and other industry "folks" to the question of, "If you had a Benjamin, what bourbon would you buy?" Of course, we can't do anything "traditional," so the following is our rollicking, pitiful attempt at poetry with a message. If you can stomach any more, we've taken some time to write up a serious recommendation following all the terrible rhymes. Thanks for reading!
If we had a Benjamin,
Oh the bourbon we could buy.
A Wild Turkey 101,
Or three, or four, or five.
Traditional, with lots of rye,
this bourbon makes the grade.
Jimmy Russell and his boy Ed,
watch closely how it's made.
Russell's Reserve at 110 proof,
it sips just like a dream.
That telltale rye it balances
this bourbon's caramel cream.
Old GrandDad surely hits the spot,
A favorite tried and true.
The 80 proof may fade in drinks,
where the 114 shines through.
100 proof is just as good,
They're each a value pour.
With Benjamin we're sure to carry
several out the door.
But then you ask, do we like more?
We're sure to tell you Noe.
Bold flavor in his coffee cup,
Ol' Booker made it so.
Knob Creek another favorite,
and here we'll include rye.
Beam-Suntory raised the bar
for all you Jim Beam guys.
Our Benjamin would also let
Evan Williams come our way.
The vanilla nose and butterscotch
says, "Take me home today!"
And then there are so many brands
that Wheatley brings to bear.
A Buffalo Trace and some pecans
are an inexpensive pair.
Weller of almost any sort
represents the wheat,
while Eagle Rare at just 10 years
is the barrel char elite.
Jim Rutledge serves Four Roses
in so very many ways,
But for sheer value in the glass
His Small batch earns our praise.
Now, we know you Woodford folks
think it's Brown-Forman's best,
But we believe Old Forester
Is the one to pass that test.
On we could go with this bourbon show,
and on perhaps you'd read,
but all this talk of whiskey
only serves to fuel our greed.
So, if we had a Benjamin,
Which bourbons would we buy?
We'd load our cart with many here,
and to our glasses fly!
If I only had a Benjamin – By Larry Parece (The Bourbon Guys)
If I only had $100 to spend on bourbon, I would need some time to consider just how I would spend it. As in our rhyming mayhem above, there are so many stellar options under $100. Of course, I would have to consider how long this bourbon would need to last. Assuming I had reasonable expectations of another Bourbon Benjamin appearing somewhere in my future…
I would begin by purchasing an Old GrandDad 114. At $23 per 750 ml, this bourbon has the flavor and integrity to be enjoyed straight or in your favorite cocktail. Too, if it is a little bold for a guest, an ice cube or two tames the heat, making this a versatile choice.
The next bottle would have to be a Wild Turkey 101. I love most everything that Turkey puts out, but this one is a true value pour. At 101 proof, it provides the flavor-forward, high rye profile that many bourbon drinkers look for, but it doesn't bring the heat you normally would expect from a 100+ proof whiskey. It is also about the same price as its 80 proof little brother, so I would take the 101. If I choose to, I can always proof it down myself.
My next choice is, perhaps, one of the better kept secrets in bourbon. Unfortunately for us, theword has gotten out of late, and it is harder to find than it once was. I'm talking about Johnny Drum Private Stock. At 101 proof, and roughly $30 per bottle, it is another excellent sipper. Of course, it would hold up in your favorite cocktails, but I would hesitate to alter the experience of enjoying this bourbon neat. Now, in the event that Johnny Drum Private Stock is unavailable (as it often is lately), its substitute would have to be another Wild Turkey offering. With a rich mouth-feel and bold front palate, the 112 proof Wild Turkey Rare Breed exhibits an excellent mid to back-palate balance of oak and savory spices that rise up to meet the front, without overpowering it. In truth, selecting between these two would be more a matter of stock level than personal preference.
For my final bottle, I have to agree with my partner Tim that Old Forester Signature 100 is one of the best bourbons below $20. Exhibiting greater refinement than some bourbons that cost twice as much, Old Forester Signature 100 is a pleasant sipper and enhances any cocktail. For my money, I'll just take it neat.
If I only had a Benjamin – By Tim Beckelhimer (The Bourbon Guys)
If I only had a Benjamin to buy bourbon, I would first be a little bummed. All kidding aside though, it would be fairly easy for me to decide what bourbons I would buy with my Benjamin. The first bottle I would grab is without a doubt Maker's Mark ($26.99). Not because it's a bourbon that I regularly drink but because many of my friends like to drink it and it's also my wife's favorite! After all, Happy wife, Happy life!
As I continue to walk through the liquor store aisle, I would without a
doubtgrab a bottle of Old Forester Signature 100 ($19.99). This 100 proof gem is one of my favorite all-time pours in the under $20.00 price range. It provides a fantastic foundation for any bourbon cocktail such as an Old Fashioned. The nose, taste and finish are also above average compared to any bourbon in this price range. This is a great sipper and it's great to use in blind taste tests as well. Old Forester Signature 100 is one of my true everyday drinkers.
Another well-rounded bourbon that would I would purchase with my Benjamin is Knob Creek ($27.99). In my humble opinion, Knob Creek is one of the most underrated bourbons on the
market. Thought it recently received high praise at the San Francisco World Spirits competition, it still receives little mention publicly. Knob Creek is great neat, with a splash of water and on the rocks. It's also nice to know that it's readily available in many restaurants, which is very nice since I travel somewhat.
My list would not be complete without grabbing something from the great Four Roses distillery. To me that choice would be Four Roses Small Batch ($26.99).
For the price, this high rye gem is one of the most well-balanced bourbons on the market. This bourbon is what I call a year-round bourbon; it's crisp, bright and floral, which makes it a great sipper when sitting out on a porch swing in the summer time. It's equally delicious in the winter. Four Roses Small Batch is great in cocktails, neat, on the rocks or any other way you prefer to drink it, but I prefer it neat.
Though there are many other fine bourbons that I could just as easily have purchased with my Benjamin such as Buffalo Trace, Weller (not easy to find any more), Wild Turkey 101, Elijah Craig and Evan Williams just to name a few, I must say that Maker's Mark, Old Forester 100, Knob Creek and Four Roses Small Batch are what I would spend my Benjamin on – at least for today!
The Bourbon Guys hope you've enjoyed our take on "If I Only Had a Benjamin…", but more than that, we hope you've found some value pours of which you were previously unaware! Cheers!

Bourbon Name: William Larue Weller
Distiller: Buffalo Trace
What does the distiller say: "Uncut and unfiltered, this hand-bottled bourbon is barrel proof. Weller substitutes wheat for the traditional rye grain, a production method pioneered by W.L. Weller."
Proof: 136.2
Age: 12 Years (or so we've been told)
Year: 2013
Color: ( 93 )
Dark and rich, like the leather it brings to mind!
Nose: ( 94 / 100 )
Pronounced tobacco with modest notes of leather and caramel
Taste: ( 94 / 100 )
The front is wonderfully balanced between the savory leather and oak elements, and the sweetness of butterscotch and bread pudding. The mid-palate develops some of that high proof burn while elevating the sweeter components.
Finish: ( 94 / 100 )
Long and satisfying, the sweetness slowly recedes to relinquish the spotlight once again to components of savory leather and oak.
Overall Rating: ( 94 / 100 ) Buy (Until you can't buy any more!)
We've got just three words for you: A-Maz-Ing! The 2013 William Larue Weller surpasses the 2012 offering by striking a cleaner balance between the savory flavors of leather and oak (which the 2012 had in spades) and the sweeter notes that became the star of the mid-palate. Excellent in every way, our initial response was to rate this at #2, just behind the Sazerac 18, but further reflection put them in a dead heat!

Bootleg Dynasty?
As they were about to self-release their first full-length album, Wilmington band Bootleg Dynasty?s plans were suddenly put on hold. Entitled ?Moving at Night," the album will be distributed through the Tate Music Group and released in the fall. Signed to Lathan Entertainment, Bootleg Dynasty brings together rock 'n' roll and country with songs about salt of the earth characters and simple living.
Music singer-songwriter Brad Lackey told me last January that he wanted to make music his ?grandmother and kids who have been to Phish shows? could enjoy. Lackey and the band have done so, from the workingman?s lament ?Pallet Jack Blues? to the back porch boogie of ?Bunkin?s Creek.?
Listen here?

James Ethan Clark?
Clark?s new album ?Southern Hotel? is doing well and he recently got the news of being nominated for ?Best Rock Male? in the Carolina Music Awards.
The CMAs are organized like a people?s choice awards show and was co-founded by Roberta Flack and Randy Travis. The CMAs span both Carolina?s to recognize artists in the rock, hip-hop, country and R&B genres and further music development.

Just in time for the summer season Selah Dubb puts out a new video whose visuals make you want to head to the beach. Check out the video for ?Party on a Sunday? below.
[youtube bN9RWtZc6yk]
The folk rock duo Folkstar has been working feverishly lately to complete the follow up to 2012?s ?Emotional Bootcamp.? Judging by their Facebook page and other pages they like to stay busy. Months ago they created a comic book about their Karmic Fury music label and some recently posted videos show Kim Dicso playing the trumpet for the new songs. The duo bring together folk and rock with a blues flavor and the new album is expected this summer.
?Valiant Thorr?
Last weekend Valient Thorr?s guitarist (and Wilmingtonian) James Yopp sent out a text for people to participate in the band?s new video. They shot it in Castle Hayne with bonfires and other goodies in tow. It was all in preparation (and very likely a good time) for the always energized hard rock band and touring monster?s new album out June 18.
Titled ?Our Own Masters? via Volcom Entertainment it?s the band?s sixth album. If you were at the Crusades show in late March you might seen have VT?s singer as the evening?s DJ extraordinaire.

The So So Glos
Several years ago when W.E. Festival was still around Brooklyn?s The So So Glos played the fest. I was fortunate to have the band play in Wilmington twice for various shows after conversing via MySpace. In late April it was great to see the band performing on the David Letterman show, days after their new, excellent album ?Blowout? was released. They performed ?Son of an American.?
It, and the band, has been getting a lot of press and critical raves after years of touring the U.S. and putting their music out there, from an initial 4 track EP that still burns and resonates to follow-up records like ?Tourism/Terrorism? and ?Low Back Chain Shift.? W.E. Fest may be hibernating but its presence still lingers.

Dear Let's Talk Credit,
Continue Reading Below
We just transferred a high-interest balance from one credit card to another credit card on which we were not carrying any balance, using a 0% interest offer they had. We planned it to the month to make sure the balance is paid by the end of the 0% offer in 18 months. Now we've just purchased an appliance and used the same card with the intention of paying it off immediately. Since the appliance just hit the card, how do we make sure the payment we're making goes to clear the appliance charge before they start charging interest on it and not the balance transfer?
- Mark
Dear Mark,
Zero percent interest offers are a great way to save money on interest charges and pay off debt more quickly. However, things can get a little complicated when the credit card used for a balance transfer is also used for purchases. Here's why:
The federal Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act requires that card issuers allocate payments in excess of the minimum payment to the balance with the highest interest rate. The key phrase here is "in excess of the minimum payment due." In your case, the interest rate for purchases is higher than your 0% interest transfer balance. So your payment amount above the minimum due will be applied to the purchase balance. But, the minimum payment can be allocated as the card issuer wishes.
Here's the bottom line: To assure that your appliance purchase is paid in full and does not accrue any interest, you will need to make a payment that totals the amount of your purchase plus the minimum amount due. Use a minimum payment calculator to figure out what your minimum payment should be, and call your issuer to make sure you're doing the math right, because credit card minimum payment formulas vary.
It is encouraging that you have a plan to pay off your transferred balance before the 0% interest rate offer expires in 18 months. You have taken the vital step to successfully pay down your debt and that is to plan your spending so you know you can make the monthly payment necessary to reach your goal.
To avoid potential problems with repaying your debt within a specific time frame with a 0% interest credit card, I recommend that you refrain from using that card until the transferred balance is paid in full. With only one type of balance on the card, you will not have to worry about how your monthly payment is allocated. Your full payment will be applied as you want each month.
With that said, you may find you want or need to make another purchase with credit before your 0% interest balance is paid in full. If you do, keep in mind that when using this card for the purchase, you will need to make the minimum payment, plus the purchase price of the item, to avoid accruing interest at the purchase rate.
Let's keep talking!

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The season came to a close for Georgia College men's basketball (9-17, 5-14 PBC) but not without a fight Saturday, as the Bobcats lost to Armstrong (15-11, 11-8 PBC) 73-68 in overtime at the Centennial Center.
Forward Scott Ferguson (Roswell, Ga.) wowed the home crowd with 28 points, matching his career high in the final game for the senior. Ferguson hit three from long range and went 7-of-8 from the charity stripe, adding a team-high seven rebounds to boot.
An Aric Miller jumper for the Pirates knotted the score at 64-64 with 44 seconds left. Each team had a shot at the game-winner, with neither squad finding the bottom of the net again in regulation.
In overtime, Aaron Robinson (Lawrenceville, Ga.) brought the team within one at 69-68 on a layup with two minutes left. Miller responded with another jumper to push the lead back to three, and after a Bobcat miss, free-throws pushed the lead out of reach in the waning seconds. Robinson would finish with four points.
The Bobcats out-shot the Pirates 37 percent (25-68) to 35 percent (23-66), Armstrong finding the difference at the line, doubling both the free throw attempts (32-14) and free throw makes (24-12).
Sophomore David Wagner (Dallas, Ga.) matched his career high as well with 14 points on an impressive shooting night, going 5-of-7 from the floor and 4-of-4 from the charity stripe. Wagner posted six rebounds as well. Senior Ryan Lively (Cumming, Ga.) and freshman Robert Armstrong (Norcross, Ga.) each added six points to the cause.
Armstrong was led by 23 points from Aric Miller, right on his conference-leading average of 23.6 points per game. He was flanked by 14 points from Antroine Williford and 10 from Darius Morales. Williford had 11 boards for a double-double.
Each of the five Bobcat seniors got the start today on Senior Day, where the GC Department of Athletics honored Lively, Ferguson, Nate Hamilton (Snellville, Ga.), Tarrence Chatman (Macon, Ga.) and Quin Bivins (Macon, Ga.) prior to the contest. The quintet supplied 39 of the team's 68 points this evening.
The game brings the 2012-13 season to a close for GC men's basketball, a 9-17 year with a 5-14 conference mark. The Bobcats finished the season third in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) in fewest turnovers per game (11.3) and second in defending the three-point shot (.306). Head coach Terry Sellers picked up his 200th PBC win this season, his 20th at the helm of Bobcat basketball.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

November 20, 2018, 12:53 pmMichael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Charlotte Hornets
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Kidd-Gilchrist is likely to miss another game according to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer. The 25-year-old missed the last three games and there isn't really a true beneficiary of his absence. His 20 mpg are absorbed by Marvin Williams, Nicolas Batum and Miles Bridges. He has top-150 value this season in 9-cat thanks to 0.6 TO's per game, but the development of Miles Bridges will keep any upside for minutes shackled.

Russell Westbrook out dueled Damian Lillard on Friday as he notched a double-double with 33 points, 11 assists, five rebounds, four triples and one block as the Thunder beat the Blazers 120-108.
The four threes were a welcome sight for Westbrook who described his play in this series prior to Friday night as "unacceptable." After being highly inefficient in the first two games, Westbrook shot 11-for-22 as he hit shot after shot in the fourth quarter to ice the win down the stretch. Oklahoma City will hope for more of the same as they look to even the series on Sunday.
April 20, 2019, 12:40 amPaul George - F - Oklahoma City Thunder
Paul George labored through a 3-for-16 shooting night to score 22 points (14-for-17 from the free throw line), six assists, six rebounds and two threes on Friday.
Friday's game marked the second time in three games that George has struggled with his shot, adding to the speculation that his right shoulder injury is holding him back. Fortunately for Oklahoma City, he stayed aggressive attacking the basket and was able to chip in 14 points from the charity stripe as well as his customary lockdown defense down the stretch.
April 20, 2019, 12:36 amJerami Grant - F - Oklahoma City Thunder
Jerami Grant scored a playoff career-high 18 points on 6-for-7 shooting also contributing four threes and two blocks in Friday's win over the Blazers.
Grant caught fire at the perfect time as the shooting woes that plagued Oklahoma City in the first two games disappeared on Friday night. He was one of five teammates to make two or more threes as Oklahoma City was able to cruise to a victory.
April 20, 2019, 12:32 amDennis Schroder - G - Oklahoma City Thunder
Dennis Schroder logged 32 minutes with 17 points, six assists, five rebounds, two triples and two steals on Friday night.
Shroder and the Oklahoma City guards were able to exploit Enes Kanter routinely in this one as the steady diet of points ultimately led to them notching their first win of the season. This group is much more confident at home – look for the same intensity as they attempt to even the series at two games apiece on Sunday night.
April 20, 2019, 12:27 amDamian Lillard - G - Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard had 32 points, six assists, three triples and two steals as the Blazers fell to the Thunder by a score of 108-120 on Friday night.
Lillard went back and forth with Russell Westbrook all night as the home team once again prevailed in this series. The animosity between these two makes for very entertaining competition. Expect Lillard to come out firing on Sunday as Portland has another opportunity to steal one on the road.
April 20, 2019, 12:19 amCJ McCollum - G - Trail Blazers
CJ McCollum did a little of everything on Friday night with 21 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, five threes and one steal.
After missing the end of the season for Portland with a left knee injury, McCollum is consistently posting huge lines in the playoffs.McCollum's play is a big reason why Portland is leading 2-1 in this series. Look for another strong night on Sunday in Game 4.
April 20, 2019, 12:12 amEnes Kanter - C - Trail Blazers
Enes Kanter scored 19 points on 9-of-14 shooting while adding five rebounds on Friday night.
Kanter had a good night scoring the basketball, despite a nagging right hand injury. Unfortunately for Portland, any good done by his offensive performance was undone on the defensive end as he was frequently targeted by the Oklahoma City offense and failed to offer much resistance.
April 19, 2019, 11:43 pmKyrie Irving - G - Boston Celtics
Kyrie Irivng contributed 19 points, 10 assists, five rebounds, three threes, one steal and one block in Friday's 104-96 victory in Indiana.
Irving has been sensational so far in the playoffs for Boston looking locked in and focused on setting up his teammates as he's notched at least seven assists in every game so far. After a season that led many to question his loyalty to this team it's good to see Irving step up and lead Boston.
April 19, 2019, 11:38 pmJaylen Brown - F - Boston Celtics
Jaylen Brown was a man possessed Friday night as he scored 23 points on 8-of-9 shooting adding seven rebounds, four threes and one block.
Indiana had no answer for the third-year swingman who got whatever he wanted and finally took advantage of his opportunity to start for the injured Marcus Smart. Brad Stevens remained patient after Brown struggled in the first two games of the series and was rewarded with a big night as Boston looks to sweep Indiana on Sunday.
April 19, 2019, 11:31 pmAl Horford - F/C - Boston Celtics
Al Horford had 16 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three threes, one steal and one block on Friday night.
Horford continues to provide Boston with a little bit of everything they need to win as evidenced by his plus-13, which was tied for a team-best mark. After struggling a bit in Game 2 as he shook off an illness, this statistical output was more in line with what we're used to seeing.

Not having checked my twitter for months, I've missed some important news.
It seems like Kagami is going to write for a manga in Jump SQ.
What is especially strange is this:

Ok, I've made a research for this series, some friends will give me their takôbon, and I get the BDrips (or DVD?), so I have two questions:
1) Do I watch anime first?
2) Will we get a finish soon?
I didn't read DYD's Wikipedia. Some page sent me there, but another sent me to Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Wiki (such nice explanations btw).
Also, will there be 2nd season?
I've found this about 5min ago: 26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3nm67868G1qjerlko1_1280.jpg

2)What do you mean ? Do you mean is the LN going to finish soon then I think no.
3)There is nothing so far on a second season of the Anime yet and from what I heard DVD/Blu Ray sales were not that good. There is a lot material for a season 2 though.

You should first read DYD followed by Dai DYD. If you have time to read the side stories then check out the DYD + Toriden reading order here:
You can read Ochiden any time you want, though for volumes after 3 or 4, preferably as you read Dai DYD, because it fleshes out certain characters that are more heavily involved there.
If you manage to get hold of the supplementaries from the BD, they will be good reads after finishing Dai DYD (or as you read along Dai DYD) since it offers good background info on the history of some entities.
As to whether there will be a second season, one can only hope.
After reading the stories, I suggest to read Kagami's profile on his blog, and you will understand why he wrote such a story.
And let me repeat, since you already can read the raws (Haruhi bless you), do not read the Wiki no matter how tempted you are or you will be massively spoiled!
And welcome to the club. Hope you join TL ranks for this series LOL (It's a million times easier to TL than Mahouka)
After reading this series, check out Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi by the same author (which I've TLed to v5), the theme is basically the same (overcoming SHIT) but the execution and setting different. After v6 of Itsuten, you will get mindgasms of astronomical proportions with every volume.
Oh yeah, guys, side note, there will be no new Denyuuden series as speculated but Daiden v12 in September instead (T_T, ^_^)

I haven't read the books yet. One of my friends teased me with the prologue of Volume 1 (a bit shocking btw), but he said I should watch the anime first, or I will hate it
I'm just waiting for my downloads to finish, but if I can't read them in 2 days, I will start with anime.
I think there are more than one series regard to DYD (Dai Den, and the others you commented), so I will follow your advices

^ If you are as lazy as me and tend to skim through and gloss over parts that seemed to be covered by the anime, then don't watch the anime first. There are several significant alterations and stitch-ups in the anime.
DYD is 11 volumes of Prologue. In between, 11 volumes of Toriden covers side stories and background stories, and some of them are really good.
After DYD, it's Daiden, which starts the main story, and up till now it's at 11 volumes (12th volume this Sep). Ochiden (now 7 volumes) covers essentially the revolution arc after DYD v1, and has some important information about certain individuals. And of course, there's Sion's notes as the supplements with the BDs that talk about the history of the 'Powers' and how the world came to be. This puts the entire series at 40 volumes now (all cannon). On average, Kagami writes about 6 volumes' worth of stories in a year, if we include Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi as well (currently at 15 volumes, including side stories).

Just to know, how many volumes the anime covers up?
I will read up to those before watch anime (I usually don't care about anime adaptations).
Also, 11 volumes of prologue??? Wtf, honestly
I read chapter 1 yesterday, and I like the MC (?) Ryner. Seems to be a lazy ass. Also, I think this novel deals with political and another themes also, right?
And Sion... I think he's a bit... gay?
Btw, I'd dropped Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi after watch its anime. It wasn't that amusing for me.

For Itsuten, it's a right decision to drop the anime (but not the novel) because 10 out of 12 episodes were like original scripts? Only the first 2 episodes were faithful to the source and 2 episodes covered an entire volume. Every episode after episode 3 randomly gets some content and plot devices from volumes 2 to 5 (and conveniently omitting the 470-page volume 4) mixed in with a bunch of original content and stitch them up to make a poor excuse of a story. When you see Zexcs as the animation studio, don't judge the source (I'll curse Zexcs to the end of hell after ruining 3 of my favorite series, especially Itsuten). Moreover, Itsuten only gives you mind orgasms after volume 6, more so than Denyuuden, since it has really wicked twists each volume after 6. Though Denyuuden is still my favorite due to the scale of the world and characters. Oh, and did I mention that Itsuten has more shocking revelations? Oh, did I mention that Denyuuden has freaking awesome side characters and plot? Oh... errh... what else haven't I mentioned?
EDIT: btw, for Itsuten, take a look at its first PV which has no animation at all. Pay attention to all the text. 1:06 and 1:09 puts out some crazy terms that should give an idea that the story has pretty dark elements and encompasses some major scale and shit (which the anime hardly touched on). Here's the link to the first PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=LfI2sNKxjxk It's such a moving PV (to me) but Zexcs had to f**k it up even more than Denyuuden and Fortune Arterial. At least Denyuuden had a few good fight scenes.

The PV has some interesting words I remember from anime as: Error Spell, Breaker Spell, Magic, Demon Messenger, Curse, Outside of the Moon's God, etc.
I will give it a try... after read DYD and the next volume of MKnR.

Aaron Hernandez remains story of the season
The starting tight end was arrested for murder on June 26, 2013. There are many subplots to consider about the 12-4 season of the AFC East champion New England Patriots as they sit out their bye week, and prepare for whatever comes next, but the saga of Aaron Hernandez is still the doozy. The doozy of all doozies.
"What problems did the Patriots have to overcome this season?''
"Well, their two best defensive linemen went down and their middle linebacker went down and Gronk, of course, went down after he came back from being down, and the new wide receivers had to be introduced to the quarterback and, and, and . . . oh, yes, and Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder.''
Simply saying the word "murder'' in this context is still unbelievable. It doesn't roll off the sports-page tongue with the same ease as "torn medial collateral ligament'' or "upper-body injury.'' Murder. There are no real precedents here. Nobody misses a game in professional sports because he "has been charged with murder.'' Nobody misses a whole season for that reason.
The allegations that tumbled out during the late spring and summer about the 24-year-old from Bristol, Conn., and the University of Florida were mind-numbing. They sounded like the plot to a bad TV pilot. He and two guys took 27-year-old semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd to an industrial park in North Attleborough? Shot him five times? Shot him dead? Left him there? Went back to Hernandez's $1.2 million home (that he purchased with money from his $40 million contract) in the same neighborhood? Hung around? Did stuff?
The house was searched on the evening news. Everybody watched. Was that Gary Sinese in the background of that shot? Donnie Wahlberg? Peter Falk? Angela Lansbury? Wait a minute, there was Hernandez. He was in handcuffs being led away. Was that Tom Selleck stuffing him into the car? Every step forward was more surreal.
"Everything we don't want is happening,'' Patriots owner Bob Kraft said on July 8 when he returned from a European vacation and underlined the fact that Hernandez no longer was a part of the team. "If any member of the New England Patriots organization is close enough to a murder investigation to actually get arrested — whether it be for obstruction of justice or the crime itself — it is too close to an unthinkable act for that person to be part of this organization going forward.''
"It's a sad day,'' coach Bill Belichick said on July 24, the first day of training camp, his first public comments since the arrest. "It's a sad day on so many levels. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and the victim. I express my sympathy with everyone that's been impacted. A young man has lost his life, a family has suffered a tragic loss. I and other members of our organization were shocked and disappointed in what we'd learned, having someone in our organization that is involved in a murder investigation.''
A tidy construct exists in the minds of most fans about the players on their hometown team. The fan thinks he knows those players. He reads a few feature stories, perhaps watches a couple of interviews, adds those pieces of information to interpretations he has made about how the player runs, jumps, holds onto the ball in important situations. He makes his judgments. The player becomes a character in a roster full of characters, everyone handed roles this same way. Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, and Doc all get together to try to win football games.
The fact that these roles have little relationship to the real people involved — if you can't figure out your wife after 25 years of marriage, how can you be so certain what Tom Brady is really like? — does not matter. It is an innocent lie. The role is the role.
Hernandez shattered that innocent lie. As the stories accumulated about his troubled past and as the allegations multiplied about possible bad things he might have done, guns everywhere, two more murders under investigation, he moved away from any image a football hero was supposed to have. He was pretty much swept from the sports pages.
"Duped,'' was the famous word Kraft used to describe his feeling about the player.
"Duped,'' worked fine, too, with the Patriots' constituency.
There has been very little talk in Foxborough of Aaron Hernandez and his time with the Patriots since that first day of training camp when Belichick spoke. There have been no comments, no anecdotes from teammates. The fact that the guy who could have helped the team most during the times Rob Gronkowski has been hurt is in a 7-foot-by-10-foot
cell at the Bristol County House of Correction never has been mentioned.
National announcers have stayed away from the subject as if it were toxic. There might have been a fast comment about "the Hernandez situation,'' a mumble in passing, but never the mention of "murder.'' He has been a non-person. The Patriots certainly have liked it that way. The NFL certainly has liked it that way.
What happens next will be interesting. The more the Patriots succeed, the more the spotlight will grow. The more the spotlight will grow, the more eyes will turn back toward this astonishing story.
How will it be handled? No list of what this team has overcome — the injuries, the almost weekly 24-0 deficits, the fresh corps of receivers working to get their drivers licenses — is complete without Aaron Hernandez's name at the top.
There are no precedents here. No team ever has won a Super Bowl with one of its expected stars in jail charged with murder.

Lawmakers on Thursday asked bank regulators to turn over documents related to the $8.5 billion settlement that ended a government-mandated review of crisis-era foreclosures, saying transparency was needed to boost confidence in the settlement.
Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Elijah Cummings, both Democrats, said the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) must address concerns that financial institutions have not been held accountable for misdeeds during the 2007-2009 U.S. financial crisis.
Continue Reading Below
In a separate letter also released on Thursday, Representative Maxine Waters, also a Democrat, said questions remain about why the independent reviews were stopped and how borrowers will be evaluated for potential compensation.
The case-by-case reviews of foreclosures came in response to the "robo-signing" scandal of 2010, in which banks were said to have used defective or fraudulent documents to pursue home foreclosures.
But after the review process got expensive without resulting in relief to consumers, regulators opted for a different approach.
They said settlements with mortgage servicers, which were announced earlier this month would replace the reviews with a broader framework that allows borrowers to receive compensation regardless of whether they faced actual harm.
"We believe that public confidence in the settlement - the confidence necessary to speed recovery of the housing markets - will exist only if the OCC and the Federal Reserve provide additional transparency into the process used and information gathered during the Independent Foreclosure Review process," Warren and Cummings said in their letter.
Cummings was critical of the settlement when regulators announced it earlier this month and said the OCC and the Fed had not sufficiently answered questions, such as who would get the funds.
The financial industry has been closely watching Warren since she won election to the U.S. Senate in November.
She gained a reputation as an opponent of Wall Street excess by overseeing the financial system bailout and later setting up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and she would lend a high profile to whatever issue she chooses for her first big push as a lawmaker.
The pair called on regulators to turn over documents on the independent contractors who reviewed borrower files, the total number of reviews undertaken by each contractor and the number of files in which unsafe practices were found.
Waters, who is the top Democrat on the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, criticized the sudden end of the reviews and asked the regulators to establish an independent monitor to oversee the settlement process.
Both letters were addressed to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry.
The initial settlement called for Bank of America Corp, Citigroup Inc, JPMorgan Case & Co, Wells Fargo & Co, MetLife Bank, and five others to pay $3.3 billion directly to eligible borrowers, and $5.2 billion in loan modifications and forgiveness.
Separately, HSBC, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley also reached similar settlements, bringing the total payout to $9.3 billion.

California Department of Transportation
Headquarters - Public Affairs Office
Tamie McGowen
(916) 657-5060
August 18, 2008
Sacramento –The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has won five prestigious awards from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
Caltrans received accolades for its public awareness campaigns on two major transportation projects in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area, for hosting a prominent national highway safety campaign and for creating the safety campaign's striking logo.
"These national awards demonstrate that Caltrans continues to be an innovative transportation leader throughout the United States," said Caltrans Director Will Kempton.
Caltrans was recognized for the following achievements:
- Winner for "Innovative Management" - Rebuilding the MacArthur Maze: In April 2007, a gasoline truck exploded near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge among a tangle of freeway ramps known as the MacArthur Maze. Two major freeway ramps were projected to be closed for months. Caltrans implemented an intense public outreach program, which included daily media briefings near the meltdown site and a Web page with updates, news coverage, and a live camera feed so the public could see first-hand the rapid progress of the rebuilding. Working with local transit officials, Caltrans' public outreach plan created a sea change in Bay Area transportation: a record 2.1 million passengers rode Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), the highest in the agency's 35-year history. Originally projected to take months to finish, the repairs were completed in 26 days, turning the Maze Meltdown into the Maze Miracle.
- Winner for "Innovative Management" - Public Outreach Program and Replacement of the West Approach of Bay Bridge: The West Approach project closed the lower deck of the Bay Bridge over the 2006 Labor Day weekend for the first time since the bridge was damaged in 1989 by the Loma Prieta Earthquake.
Caltrans initiated the largest public outreach campaign in its history. This included TV, radio and newspaper commercials, flyers, electronic freeway message signs and advertisements in movie theaters. The massive awareness effort helped motorists find alternate routes and prevented regional gridlock.
- Winner of Excel Award - Rebuilding the MacArthur Maze: This is AASHTO's highest award for public relations programs and campaigns. A summary of Caltrans' public awareness campaign for the MacArthur Maze is in the first bullet point in this news release.
- Winner of Excel Award - National Work Zone Awareness Week: Every spring, Caltrans holds a memorial to honor its employees who have died in the line of duty. This year's memorial marked the first time in history that the national kick-off event was held outside metropolitan Washington D.C. Caltrans' safety slogan, "Slow for the Cone Zone," was adopted across the United States as this year's national campaign theme.
- Winner of Graphic Design Award - "Best Logo": As host of the 2008 National Work Zone Awareness Week kick-off event, Caltrans needed to create a unique identity for the occasion. Using "Slow for the Cone Zone" as a template, Caltrans designed and produced the National Work Zone Awareness Week logo. The logo was used on hundreds of printed materials and online by state departments of transportation throughout the nation, as well as by the Federal Highway Administration. To view the logo, visit: http://www.atssa.com/galleries/clean_titles/08CT207_POSTER-final.jpg
The awards competition, sponsored by AASHTO, the American Automobile Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, honored transportation projects from the Western Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (WASHTO) region. AASHTO membership consists of every state department of transportation and the federal department of transportation. Most Canadian departments of transportation, as well as a few foreign nations are associate members.

INTERVIEW: Noel Fitzpatrick talks charity work, receiving negative feedback on The Supervet and what to expect in series 9
The man who astonished viewers with his ground-breaking and innovative veterinary practices, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, is back tonight for a brand new series of The Supervet.
The hugely popular series sees 'bionic vet' Noel and his team provide cutting-edge care and compassionate support for both animals and their human families and series nine promises to document some of the most emotional and technically challenging cases to date.
We sat down with The Supervet himself to discuss everything to do with the Channel 4 series.
From the very beginning of our chat, Noel's love for what he does is abundantly clear. Animal welfare has been a passion of his since his early years growing up on a farm in Ballyfin, Co. Laois, and the famous vet wasted no time in jumping straight in with his main objective for the show.
"It's very important people know the reason I do it [the show], not the reason they think I do it," he tells us.
"We are supposed to be an advocate for hope. That's what we are supposed to do with this show. I never wanted to make a show about science. It's very important that we do show that. But it's more important that we show the love behind it."
When asked what kind of changes we should expect to see in the new series, Noel replies: "The biggest single thing that we're going to do better in this next run than we've ever done before is show failure.
"And that's really important to me because I am not evangelical about this. And I am not self-congratulatory. I'm only as good as the operation as I did last night.
"Ultimately I will show it as raw as it can be. This isn't Tattoo Fixers. These people are in crisis."
One of this season's most complex surgeries will come in the form of four tiny hedgehogs, each of whom is brought before Noel with a broken left hind leg. Operating on a minute scale, viewers will witness Noel perform back-to-back surgery in order to reconstruct their tiny tibias in the hope that they can be returned to the wild.
Noel recalled that day in the surgery, remarking: "Bizarrely, one Monday night they all decided to cross the road from the left-hand side! How bizarre is that? They all had broken left tibias!"
The 49-year-old did not seem fazed by having to make these adjustments in terms of scale, however, and when we asked if he found operations of this nature difficult, he replied: "No, not really. I've operated on hamsters, I've operated on frogs, I've operated on small lizards. What's hard is that it's somebody's friend.
"I don't think in terms of size. I think in terms of 'are we doing the right thing?'"
As widely adored as The Supervet is, Noel admits that he is used to receiving negative feedback from the show: "I think it's human nature to build people up and knock them back down.
"The veterinary profession find this show difficult sometimes because they think that possibly I'm blowing my own ego. And that's not true, but it's difficult to explain to people that the reason I do it is to try and be a proper advocate for the animals and also to get a foundation or platform for the Humanimal Trust."
Noel has been instrumental in bringing the concept of One Medicine to the fore in the UK, a concept which is at the heart of the charity he founded. The Humanimal Trust is the first charity of its kind in Britain and aims to establish a platform for the cross-pollination of expertise and ideas between veterinary and human medicine for the benefit of all living creatures.
Noel explains: "Animals have given us medicine and implants for so long but we never give it back. Almost no drug that you have and almost no implant that you have in your body has not been tested on an animal. Almost 5,000 dogs in the United Kingdom lose their life every year giving you drugs and implants.
"Now I'm not saying you can't have safe drugs and implants. What I'm saying is that it's silly not to have stem cells, cancer drugs and implants developed for humans and animals at the same time. Not just one for the benefit of the other.
"The Humanimal Trust is about funding research which helps the animal as well as the human."
Season nine of The Supervet kicks off tonight at 8pm with the case of a labradoodle named Mitzi, who may have suffered serious nerve damage after being involved in a nasty road accident. With Mitzi's owners fearing the worst, Noel discusses the options available for their beloved pet.
Season nine of The Supervet begins tonight (Thursday April 20) at 8pm on Channel 4.

Greetings everyone!
I have officially decided to start a new blog for a number of reasons. As you can probably tell from my "About Me" page, "Broken Mystic" originally started off as a very personal and private blog. Somehow, the blog evolved into a more social and political one, lol. There's nothing wrong with that because I think those posts show that I'm getting back on track with my life, alhamdullilah, but I just think this blog should be limited to my personal and private thoughts.
I will still blog here and cross-post my poetry, but I won't post anything on politics, current events, feminism, and media literacy here anymore. I really appreciate all the readers I have on this blog. For a long time, your comments have been so encouraging, supportive, and thoughtful, and they really mean a lot. Sometimes, I would come home and feel in a bad mood, but then I'll check my e-mail and see a really nice comment on one of my posts that tell me to keep my chin up or to remind myself that I'm not alone. I created this blog so that I could vent and recover from heartbreak, and it wouldn't have been possible if I didn't have the support of my friends and readers. It might sound strange to some, but blogging can really make a difference! Having said that, I would really Love to share my new blog with you all.
If you're interested, you can either e-mail me or you can just leave a comment here and I will e-mail you! Whichever one works for you 🙂
Thanks again! Peace be upon you, from my heart to yours.

Missouri governor opposes tax overhaul plan in state senate
Gov. Jay Nixon denounced a new Senate plan to overhaul Missouri's tax policies Thursday, asserting that a proposed sales tax increase could be especially harmful for seniors and veterans who might not benefit from a corresponding income tax cut.
The Democratic governor voiced his opposition to the Republican-backed plan a day after it received preliminary approval in the Senate, where supporters touted it as a necessary step to keep pace with income tax cuts in Kansas.
The central part of Senate bill would gradually reduce Missouri's individual and corporate income taxes by three-quarters of a percentage point over five years while also deducting half of the business income that gets reported on individuals' tax returns. To offset part of that lost tax revenue, the legislation would gradually raise the state sales tax by one-half cent over the same period.
Asked Thursday about the Senate legislation, Nixon focused on the proposed sales tax increase. He said it could especially affect seniors and veterans who rely on Social Security checks or federal benefits and may not gain much an income tax reduction. He also suggested that the sales tax increase could hurt working-class families purchasing baseball gloves or other items for their children.
"The bottom line is when folks go to the store, they'll be paying more for everything they buy," Nixon said. "That is a tax increase, and I am not for it."
Bill sponsor Sen. Will Kraus, R-Lee's Summit, says the legislation would equal a $450 million annual reduction in state tax revenues once fully implemented. The nonprofit Missouri Budget Project, which analyzes financial issues with an emphasis on their effect on the poor, estimated Thursday that the eventual loss would be $950 million annually.
Nixon did not address a question Thursday about whether the state could afford the lost tax revenues. Some Democratic senators have denounced the plan "irresponsible" while predicting it could jeopardize future funding for schools and other government services.
The legislation needs another Senate vote before it can move to the House.
House Speaker Tim Jones said Thursday that although he hasn't reviewed the specifics of the Senate bill, he likes the general concept of reducing income taxes in favor of higher sales taxes.
"It moves us incrementally toward what the majority caucus favors, which is more of the consumption-based taxation," said Jones, R-Eureka.

With NFL training camps approaching, fantasy football draft season is right around the corner. The debate over which wide receiver should be taken first seems to be an open-and-shut case this season.
Just ask Larry Fitzgerald.
During a Wednesday morning appearance on ESPN's "SportsCenter," the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver said Detroit Lions superstar Calvin Johnson is the superior fantasy option because of their respective quarterback situations.
You could spin that comment as a shot toward Kevin Kolb and John Skelton. Or you could just recognize it for what it is: The truth. Kolb and Skelton aren't remotely in the same class as Matthew Stafford, and pretending otherwise would be phony. Fitzgerald is a man whose fantasy advice you can trust.

Computer scientists at UC Irvine have developed an app that stores encrypted segments of DNA information on smartphones, giving way to countless possible medical and social uses, according to KTLA.
Developers say the app, called GenoDroid, could be used to produce instant medical diagnoses, paternity tests or even help predict what a couples future children would look like.
"It essentially does a paternity test. It allows two people, each with their smartphones, to essentially sit together and run this application and within seconds it will tell them if one is the father of the other," said Professor Gene Tsudik, who helped develop the app.
The scientists say that due to the memory limitation of current smartphones, only relevant segments of a person's DNA can be stored; however, they expect technology to catch up in three to four years to allow the storage of complete genome.
The scientists say they have put an emphasis on privacy and security, encrypting the digital DNA information and making it possible for "double blind" exchanges between doctors and patients with only test results being visible.
"That's it, you find out the test results, but nothing else."
They say the app fits in with the idea of "personalized medicine," which tailors treatment for individual patients based on their genetics.
Beyond medicine, scientists say GenoDroid can be used by people to compare genes to determine distant family relations or paternity tests.
A "toy" version of the app is available online.

Waiting for a Wu-Tang Clan reunion? Don't hold your breath
- 2004-04-28 08:16:50
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2004-04-28
Any hope of hearing new music from the Wu-Tang Clan seems to be decreasing by the day. And if you ask Method Man or Ghostface for the reason why, you're likely to get conflicting, ambiguous answers.
"How is there going to be a reunion when we've never broken up," Method Man asked incredulously. "All the people that run [in] the streets [are] up on me now, 'When's the new Wu coming out?' Where was y'all two albums ago when we had Wu albums coming out and nobody was checking or going to the stores to buy that?"
When pressed, he said Wu-Tang can record again "as soon as brothers get their stuff together. Because I'm not going in the studio to make a half-ass album just because of public demand."
If Meth seemed to be avoiding the question, his Wu brother Ghostface, who just released his third solo record, The Pretty Toney Album, was less than vague when apprised of Meth's comments.
"That's my brother and all that, that's my people, I love him," explained Ghost. "But it's like ... if he don't want to do that, then yo, you ain't gotta do it. It's like, yo, all this TV stuff man, I don't be frontin' in front of the camera. So it's like yo, you might as well be like, 'I'm not down.' So make it official. Wu can either break up or try to keep on moving on. Ain't no time for all that little sideways stuff."
In November there was speculation that the Wu-Tang Clan were planning to raise up the flag and join forces again. These latest comments by two of Wu's most prominent members seem to indicate that despite the best efforts of those who'd like to see the influential rap crew record again, it'll be a while before that happens, if it happens at all.
Ghost seemed personally frustrated with the are-they-or-aren't-they banter of recent months. He offered up his own solution to stop the speculation.
"If you don't want to be down with this — and this goes for any Wu-Tang Clan member — we can make this and put this live on TV and let the people see that he's not down, or he's not down, or he's not down," Ghost said. "So we don't keep leaving the people in suspense. It's not fair."

Gas prices continue to decline despite tensions in Iraq and Ukraine, thanks to rising U.S. output. Greater domestic supplies have led "to the cheapest gas prices for August in years," travel club AAA said.
On Monday, the price of regular gas in Palm Beach County averaged $3.49 per gallon, down by 2 cents from a week ago and off by 15 cents from a month ago, said AAA.
The price for regular gas in Broward County averaged $3.43 per gallon, down 2 cents from last week and 15 cents from a month ago, said AAA.

Guide to Geologic Hazards in Alaska
- Groundwater related hazards
- Surface water moves downward through empty spaces or cracks in the soil, sand, or rocks. The water then fills the empty spaces and cracks above that layer. The top of the water in the soil, sand, or rocks is called the water table and the water that fills the empty spaces and cracks is called groundwater. Groundwater supplies a major portion of Alaska's drinking and industrial water. Changes in groundwater flow and supply and/or groundwater contamination can result in significant threats to human health and infrastructure.

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine at a time that is neither convenient nor socially acceptable. Take this quiz to see if you may have a significant problem with your bladder.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to know that there is help available. Many people are embarrassed about their condition and do not seek help when there is usually something that can be done to correct the problem. Some turn to absorbent materials and supportive aids without their condition being properly diagnosed and treated. It is very important to understand that incontinence is not a natural part of aging and that the vast majority of patients can be treated and/or cured.
Baptist provides high quality evaluation and compassionate treatment for all types of urinary incontinence. There are many different types of incontinence, some of which are temporary and some that are more permanent. Even of the more "permanent" forms of incontinence, many can be managed, improved significantly or cured. Urinary incontinence is a common problem that anyone can suffer from regardless of age.
Stress incontinence is the most common type of incontinence. Leakage usually occurs during coughing, laughing, sneezing, exercising or when an activity puts pressure on the bladder. Stress incontinence in women is most commonly associated with a previous history of childbirth.
Overflow incontinence is when there is constant or frequent small amounts of leakage of urine from a bladder that does not empty. As the bladder remains full, the muscle stretches as more urine accumulates in the bladder. Over time, the muscles become less effective at contracting to empty the urine. Other conditions, such as diabetes, may cause the bladder to not empty completely and cause these symptoms. Certain medications, such as over the counter cold and hay fever pills, may also have this effect.
Urge incontinence is another common type of incontinence, characterized by the sudden sensation to urinate and the inability to control that urgency, resulting in the loss of urine. The urge to urinate happens suddenly and there is often little or no warning time for the person. Urge incontinence is common in the elderly, but can happen in younger people. This form of incontinence may be associated with other medical conditions such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.
Reflex incontinence is another less common form of incontinence and is usually related to spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, or other neurological disease. These patients have a hyperactive urinary bladder that just contracts by reflex. Many of these patients have no voluntary control of urination.
Total incontinence is often related to severe anatomic problems such as fistula (an abnormal communication between the bladder and the outside world), or from multiple previous surgeries with resultant scarring of the bladder outlet and sphincter mechanism. Many patients with total incontinence have multiple causes and, therefore, multi-modality treatment is often indicated.
Board certified physician specialists on staff at Baptist provide a complete range of treatments for urinary incontinence in both women and men. These physicians provide treatment services in a number of settings and locations. To learn more about their programs and where they are offered, use these links:

The weather is still terribly wet here! We had a very low snowpack over the winter, so the the weather people are saying we're now officially out of a drought situation because of all the spring rain! The rivers are so full, fast and muddy that there won't be any fly fishing for a while yet --- bummer!
Mr. Squash informed me that he looks forward to the Friday Vegetable Reports because it saves him from having to go outside and look for himself – funny guy! I decided to only show you what is doing well this week. No sense looking at plants that haven't grown more than a millimeter the past week!
Here are the raised beds. The lettuce is really coming on now – maybe a fresh salad by next weekend! The nasturtiums are overtaking the peppers, but the peppers don't seem to mind so far!
Do you notice below that there are quite a few more beans than last week? So many of the seeds I planted didn't germinate that I decided to fill in the gaps with pony packs from the farm store! But the peas are now needing a little support, so that's encouraging!
The potato tower went crazy almost overnight! The leaves are almost all nearly to the top, which means I won't need to add much more additional dirt – hopefully the tower holds lots of yummy little Yukon Golds by now!
The pumpkin leaves on the right are getting bigger, but that's about it for this area. Our first overnight guests are arriving tomorrow, and we had other out of town company last night, so that's why I haven't had any posts this week until now as we've been busy getting the house ready. I've sneaked a few more quilt blocks in here and there and will save them for another post. I'll leave you today with this gorgeous purple rose that bloomed today for the first time!

Love checking out your garden.....here in Texas, the lettuce is finished for a little while ( too hot ) and I am watching the tomatoes and peppers. We will have a lettuceless salad as soon as the tomatoes change color. Have a great weekend.

It's all coming along just great! Our squash is finished already as is the lettuce. I may try planting some new squash plants to see if they make or not.
Love the purple rose!

You got a harvest already...so jealous. I do have a little squash I am tempted to pick. I took pics last night and will try to post them later tonight, right now I have to go to my paying job. Is the purple rose Ebb Tide, or do you know? Very nice!
I love your veggie reports and I will try to get on board soon!

How do you do that? Your garden is so beautiful. I planted eight tomato plants, and I'll be lucky to get ten tomatoes from them! I think I may have waited a little too late to plant -- the heat has almost done them in.
Thanks for sharing the harvest report -- can't wait to see the next one!

Your veggies are soooooooooooooo far ahead of mine in Bend....we had a frost 2 nights ago: bye bye basil!

I have several comments (all positive) to make:
1. Do you know the name of your purple rose? I, too, have never seen a purple rose and would love to find one.
2. I'm enjoying your vegetable garden updates as I live in a condo and have no space for one.
3. Thank you for the binding tutorial. I had a brain freeze and couldn't remember what length to cut the end of the binding (the width of the binding or the width of the finished binding). And there was the answer in your blog.

The purple rose is so beautiful!
Congrats on your first harvest! Nothing like a home-grown produce :)
Those turnips are looking scrumptious! I love your friday reports. That makes up for lack of a gardening slot in our city apartment.

A purple rose. Wow! very pretty.
Your garden is looking great. I notice I have some baby beans. I never liked radishes but they sure are pretty.
I could never get nasturtiums to grow. I don't think they like our clay soil to much.
