Also, when I was staying at some married friends' house, they let me stay in the same room as the books. So, at midnight I decided to have a rummage. Leafing through the kama-sutra not only were some of the sentences highlighted, but on one page there was a 10 year old polariod of my friends "in the missionary position". I just could not look at them the next day.

LONDON - An anonymous bidder paid the equivalent of $445,000 for a raunchy letter written by the author James Joyce to his partner and lifelong love, Nora Barnacle, in 1909.
Sotheby's said the sale last week was a record for a 20th century letter in English sold at auction -- and was more than four times what had been expected.
A scholar discovered it by chance in the pages of an old book held by Joyce's brother Stanislaus.
The letter is exceptional in part because of Joyce's well-known distaste for obscene comments or jokes, according to Sotheby's.

I also bought a book from a charit shop (is it embarassing to admit it was a Quantum Leap novel? I never read it) and inside was a postcard in which a young man was expressing his love for a buddy of his; I get the impression he had been staying with him, then left this once he was safely away.
If you are that young man, let me know what happened...

Slight tangent - at the used record dtore, we once bought a collection of PTV rekkids, one of which had a bunch of photocopied p0rn in one of the inner sleeves. Of course it wasn't vanila p0rn, some of it was a photo story about a bunch of women pissing on each other (I don't think I'll ever forget the phrase "more golden liquid from emma's endless reservoir" - we were going to start an industrial noise band called "emma's endless reservoir", but didn't do anything beyond 1 practice) the rest of it was pictures of women being fucked by pigs. Like we really needed to see or know about that. The record store boss really used to like saying to people "look what we found in some records we bought in"! and showing it to people, until we chucked it all in the bin, while we still actually had customers.

A friend of mine used to live in a flat owned by an older male relative, who was hospitalized (and who later died in hospital). All his books and other stuff were still there, and his bookshelf had a lot of books on Christianity, so we thought he must've been quite religious. But then later on my friend found a box that was put in a cupboard or something, and in the box there were some books on homosexuality and some old erotic gay pictures (I think they were from the 70s or older). So he must've felt quite contradicted about himself. All of this made me a bit sad, even though I'd never met this person.

Yeah man it set my latency back 5 years. Actually I made the polaroid part up, but the highlighted and annotated sex journal was truth. It's more likely that my mother was studying for an assignment or something on 'Sexual Lust' (it wasn't a kama-sutra at all) at some point during the 80s, but at the time I truly believed that my parents had chosen to store away some 'special passages' for when they might be useful... (shudder)... Sorry to discredit an amusing tale but I did use to lie and embellish quite a lot when I was 16.

When I was 15, I had two summer jobs, one as a dishwasher in my aunt and uncle's restaurant and one at a used bookstore down the street from it. There was this waiter at the restaurant everyone hated-- he had this really snooty air and was a dick to everyone in the kitchen. About halfway through the summer I was going through a bunch of books someone had sold to the bookstore and a bunch of photos fell out of one of them. Pictured was the same waiter, in what looked like a hotel room, in aqua-coloured bikini briefs, looking directly into the camera with the same supercilious pursed-lipped expression he always had when he looked into the kitchen to see if his table's food was out.

I got a big box (45 pounds) of 60s Playboys from an Ebay store yesterday. In the auction post, the store mentioned that they hadn't looked through every magazine for defects and whatnot. So because of that I got the unlisted bonus of finding in one of the issues a personalized autographed b&w glossy headshot of Stella Stevens plus a folded pin up of her from a mid-60s issue of Variety (that had an ad for The Naked Prey on the other side).

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
^Some people are theorizing that its a flashback show but i'm not sure how Hayley will figure into that.and i agree this will get dropped.
@nicfanz i doubt it,i don't see Candice leaving her regular spot at TVD for a show that might or might not make it.besides she doesn't like Klaroline.I'm 100% sure KC is done. as am i with this show.
Then after total of one season of both, both get cancelled.
I hope this happens and then J.P can set herself on fire.I don't even care anymore.ugh.
Why did they have to reveal this news ryt now tho.now i can't even get excited about the upcoming Klaroline scenes;like whats even the point.sigh.
@Charmed Jenna That won't make a difference,the people who watched it for good writing left this show lonng ago,now only fangirls watch this shit show and their number will drop when the originals airs.I hope both shows get cancelled and i can move on to watch better shows.srsly.
while someone competent tskes over the rest of TVD.That would have worked two seasons ago. By the end of S3, the characters are way too unlikeable and plot is way too convulted and fucked up for ANYONE to be able to do ANYTHING with this big tumor of television known as TVD.
, I recommend Scandal
Uhhh, could not get into it. Way too pretentious and derivative and tries to be West Wing way too much and there will never be another West Wing.
I can't believe I'm writing this, But I agree with Bored Now. Plec's idea will most likely be disastrous for both shows. The CW is a dying network, the chances of a new vampire show becoming a success are...rather slim. And a lotof fans will tune out of TVD out of frustration or because they don't care about the traingle, miss the Originals e.t.c. TVD will lose some of its steam, the new show will probably get canceled after a season or two. Then Plec will have two failures in her hands. LOL BUT SHE BROUGHT THIS TO HERSELF.

The Riches of Africa
30 Oct 12
The results of a study carried out by the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity in collaboration with the FAO and with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs were presented at the Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre on Saturday October 27 at the conference "Discovering Africa's Riches." The aim of the research was to identify, study and catalog over 40 traditional products in four West African countries.
The Foreign Minister, Marco Ricci; two FAO representatives, Cristina Scarpocchi and Florence Tartanac; Piero Sardo, the president of the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity; and Francesco Sottile, an agronomist from the University of Palermo, illustrated the work carried out on a number of local products, which have the capacity to guarantee food sovereignty to the local populations. The protection of these products also allows the preservation of ancestral traditions and knowledge.
The study also laid the foundations for four new Slow Food Presidia, projects that will work to improve all levels of the production and distribution chain for salted couscous from Fadiouth Island (Senegal), Katta pasta from Timbuktu and Gao (Mali), Kenema kola nuts (Sierra Leone) and wild palm oil (Guinea-Bissau). Economic subsidies and training opportunities will help producers reduce post-harvest waste, which currently accounts for around 30% of cereal production and 70% of fruit production, and also to process and preserve the product, guaranteeing all actors a lasting margin of autonomy.
After the coordinators of the study had spoken, the representatives of the four new Presidia then described the significance of these projects to their respective communities.
Saoudata Walet Aboubacrine, from the Katta Pasta Presidium, denounced the racial violence and the religious terrorism that have been afflicting his country, Mali, and emphasized the need to work for peace, reminding the audience that war destroys ancient knowledge and traditions, sending messages of hate and revenge to young people.
Augustin Diop and Leandro Pinto Junior, of the Fadiouth Island Salted Millet Couscous Presidium from Senegal and the Wild Palm Oil Presidium from Guinea-Bissau respectively, thanked the promoters of the two projects and the experts who had contributed to improving the techniques for preserving the couscous and the quality of the palm oil.
Patrick Mansaray spoke for the Kenema Kola Nut Presidium in Sierra Leone, explaining how participation in Terra Madre 2010 had helped the community mobilize to protect the kola nuts. He described kola as a product with an international appeal, like cacao or coffee, and in conclusion thanked Slow Food and the FAO for their support, which has allowed the producers to improve the kola nut storage methods.

By Maurielle LueFox 2 News ReporterDETROIT (WJBK) -- In the last five week, 14 horses have been rescued in the City of Detroit. That includes two horses, one that was visibly underweight, that were hauled away from a yard on Friday."The horses are being confiscated as contraband," said Mark Ramos from Detroit Animal Control. "The owner is pretty upset that we're taking his horses.""We have a cruelty hotline here and when people see things that they're concerned about they call us, and they've called about all these animals in need," said Deborah McDonald, an animal cruelty inspector with the Michigan Humane Society.Last month, two horses were taken from a small residential backyard. Then this week, the Michigan Humane Society got a tip that ten horses were stashed in an old warehouse on the city's west side, most of them dangerously sick.Rescuing all these horses is a big financial undertaking. Most of them have to be nursed back to health, which costs a lot of money. Picture feeding 14 hungry teenage boys. Now multiply that by about a thousand."We've never been in a situation like this before. Not our norm," McDonald said. "At this point, we need donations. These horses are very expensive to feed and we have 14 of them. Because they're underweight, they are going to eat more than they would normally. They have a lot of catching up to do."And in case you didn't know, Ramos said, "Any livestock, farm animals are illegal in the City of Detroit -- horses, cattle, goats, anything like that is illegal and can be removed right on the spot."If you would like to donate to the Michigan Humane Society, call 1-866-MHUMANE or visit www.michiganhumane.org.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - Air Wisconsin will not have to pay a $1.25 million judgment in a defamation lawsuit.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that the Appleton-based carrier was protected under a post-9-11 security law. The law shields airlines from defamation claims, when the incidents that trigger those claims are substantially true.
The case involved veteran pilot William Hoeper, who was rejected four times in getting his company's approval to fly a new aircraft -- and then had angry words with another employee in Virginia. Soon after that, Hoeper was a passenger on a United flight to his Colorado home -- and the plane was returned to its departure gate after Hoeper was identified as a potential threat.
He was removed, but was never charged in court with anything criminal.
The Supreme Court agreed that the law is needed in order to encourage reports of possible threats to the Transportation Security Agency.
The Colorado Supreme Court had ruled that Air Wisconsin was not exempt from legal action on that basis.

Saudi Aramco (Arabic: أرامكو السعودية ʾArāmkō s-Saʿūdiyyah), officially the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, most popularly known just as Aramco (Arabian-American Oil Company) is a Saudi Arabian national petroleum and natural gas company based in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.[5][6] Saudi Aramco's value has been estimated at up to US$10 trillion in the Financial Times, making it the world's most valuable company.[7][8][9]
Saudi Aramco has both the world's largest proven crude oil reserves, at more than 260 billion barrels (4.1×1010 m3),[4] and largest daily oil production.[10] Headquartered in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia,[11] Saudi Aramco operates the world's largest single hydrocarbon network, the Master Gas System. Its 2013 crude oil production total was 3.4 billion barrels (540,000,000 m3),[4] and it manages over 100 oil and gas fields in Saudi Arabia, including 288.4 trillion standard cubic feet (scf) of natural gas reserves.[4] Saudi Aramco operates the Ghawar Field, the world's largest onshore oil field, and the Safaniya Field, the world's largest offshore oil field.[12]

Saudi Aramco's origins trace to the oil shortages of World War I and the exclusion of American companies from Mesopotamia by the San Remo Petroleum Agreement of 1920. The US Republican administration had popular support for an "Open Door policy", which Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, initiated in 1921. Standard Oil of California (SoCal) was among those US companies actively seeking new sources of oil from abroad.[13]
SoCal through its subsidiary company, the Bahrain Petroleum Co. (BAPCO), struck oil on Bahrain in May 1932. This event heightened interest in the oil prospects of the Arabian mainland. On 29 May 1933, the Saudi Arabian government granted a concession to SoCal in preference to a rival bid from the Iraq Petroleum Co..[14] The concession allowed Socal to explore for oil in Saudi Arabia. SoCal assigned this concession to a wholly owned subsidiary called California-Arabian Standard Oil Co. (CASOC). In 1936, with the company having had no success at locating oil, the Texas Oil Co. (Texaco) purchased a 50% stake of the concession.[15]
After four years of fruitless exploration, the first success came with the seventh drill site in Dhahran in 1938, a well referred to as Dammam No. 7. This well immediately produced over 1,500 barrels per day (240 m3/d), giving the company confidence to continue. On 31 January 1944, the company name was changed from California-Arabian Standard Oil Co. to Arabian American Oil Co. (or Aramco).[16] In 1948, Socal and Texaco were joined as investors by Standard Oil of New Jersey (Esso) which purchased 30% of the company, and Socony Vacuum (later Mobil) which purchased 10% of the company, leaving Socal and Texaco with 30% each. The newcomers were also shareholders in the Iraq Petroleum Co. and had to get the restrictions of the Red Line Agreement lifted in order to be free to enter into this arrangement.
In 1950, King Abdulaziz threatened to nationalize his country's oil facilities, thus pressuring Aramco to agree to share profits 50/50.[17] A similar process had taken place with American oil companies in Venezuela a few years earlier. The American government granted US Aramco member companies a tax break known as the golden gimmick equivalent to the profits given to King Abdulaziz. In the wake of the new arrangement, the company's headquarters were moved from New York to Dhahran.
In 1973, following US support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War, the Saudi Arabian government acquired a 25% stake in Aramco. It increased its shareholding to 60% by 1974, and finally took full control of Aramco by 1980,[18] by acquiring a 100% percent stake in the company. Aramco partners continued to operate and manage Saudi Arabia's oil fields.[19] In November 1988, a royal decree changed its name from Arabian American Oil Co. to Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (or Saudi Aramco)[18] and took the management and operations control of Saudi Arabia's oil and gas fields from Aramco and its partners. It officially cut all oil supply to Israel the same year by order of the CEO. Following the events that unfolded in 1988, Saudi Aramco became a fully owned, privately held company. Saudi Aramco was the world's largest company with an estimated market value of $781 billion in 2005.[20]

Saudi Aramco is headquartered in Dhahran; and its operations span the globe which include exploration, producing, refining, chemicals, distribution and marketing. All these activities of the company are monitored by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources together with the Supreme Council for Petroleum and Minerals.[28] However, the ministry has much more responsibility in this regard than the council.[28]
A significant portion of the Saudi Aramco workforce consists of geophysicists and geologists. Saudi Aramco has been exploring for oil and gas reservoirs since 1982. Most of this process takes place at the Exploration and Petroleum Engineering Center (EXPEC). Originally, Saudi Aramco used Cray Supercomputers (CRAY-1M) in its EXPEC Computer Center (ECC)[29] to assist in processing the colossal quantity of data obtained during exploration and in 2001, ECC decided to use Linux clusters as a replacement for the decommissioned Cray systems. ECC installed a new supercomputing system in late 2009 with a disk storage capacity of 1,050 terabytes (i.e, exceeding one petabyte), the largest storage installation in Saudi Aramco's history to support its exploration in the frontier areas and the Red Sea.[30]
Refining and Chemicals[edit]
While the company did not originally plan on refining oil, the Saudi government wished to have only one company dealing with oil production. Therefore, on 1 July 1993, the government issued a royal decree merging Saudi Aramco with Samarec, the country's oil refining company. The following year, a Saudi Aramco subsidiary acquired a 40% equity interest in Petron Corp., the largest crude oil refiner and marketer in the Philippines. Since then, Saudi Aramco has taken on the responsibility of refining oil and distributing it in the country.
Currently, Saudi Aramco's refining capacity is more than 4 million barrels per day (640,000 m3/d) (International joint and equity ventures: 2,060 Mbbl/d (328,000,000 m3/d), domestic joint ventures: 1,108 mpbd, and wholly owned domestic operations: 995 Mbbl/d (158,200,000 m3/d).) This figure is set to increase as more projects go online.[31]
Additionally, Saudi Aramco's downstream operations are shifting its emphasis to integrate refineries with petrochemical facilities. Their first venture into it is with Petro Rabigh, which is a joint venture with Sumitomo Chemical Co. that began in 2005 on the coast of the Red Sea.

Saudi Aramco has employed several tankers to ship crude oil, refined oil and gas to various countries. It has created a wholly owned subsidiary company, Vela International Marine Limited, to handle shipping to North America, Europe and Asia.[33]
Research and development[edit]
Saudi Aramco has taken a keen interest in optimizing its processes over the last decade. To this end, it has employed about 500 engineers and scientists specializing in different aspects of the hydrocarbon industry.
There are two R&D entities in Saudi Aramco: 1) Exploration and Petroleum Engineering Center Advanced Research Center (EXPEC ARC) which is solely managed by Exploration & Producing and focuses on upstream research, and 2) The Research and Development Center (R&DC), which focuses on downstream research and includes bio-research. Leading research undertaken at these two major facilities provides Saudi Aramco with competitive technology solutions throughout the vast range of its petroleum-related activities.
Saudi Aramco patents[edit]
Saudi Aramco patents:
In 2010, Saudi Aramco was granted its 100th patent.[34]
Notable patents that Saudi Aramco holds are:
1. GigaPOWERS™ The EXPEC ARC debuted GigaPOWERS™ on 23 January 2010 to a live audience at their auditorium. GigaPOWERS™ is a second generation innovation of POWERS (Parallel Oil, Water and Gas Enhanced Reservoir Simulator) that was created in 1997 and is a high-resolution reservoir simulator to model and predict the performance of super-giant reservoirs. (See reservoir simulation for more information).GigaPOWERS™ did that job with giga-cell reservoir simulation technology, which meant that the models could hold more information and produce better reservoir simulations.[35]
GigaPOWERS™ set a new industry record for being able to simulate reservoirs at seismic or near-seismic resolution. Previously, scientists simulated this by averaging the simulation model cells in order to reduce their number, thus reducing the amount of information in the model. However, with the innovation of GigaPOWERS™, models of more than one-billion cells were simulated. This makes it easier to study the performance and predict the behavior of oil fields, so that engineers and scientists can create better strategies when producing those fields.
2. Resbots™
Other services[edit]
Saudi Aramco provides various services to its employees, the community, government agencies and private companies which it interfaces with. It maintains several large "high-tech" hospitals and provides health insurance for its employees worldwide. It also maintains multiple fire stations, both industrial and residential, a western-style educational system, and provides employees with various recreational facilities such as golf, movie theaters, bowling alleys, multipurpose buildings and so on. Saudi Aramco introduced its Elite Security over two decades ago. This security force has been militarily trained abroad and primarily ensures the safety of the company's industrial and residential areas as well as the families of senior management officials.
Saudi Aramco has operations all over the world. It often needs to transport employees between operations. To do this, it owns and operates a fleet of 79 airplanes and 20 helicopters, and two airports in the United States (the only private organization allowed by the FAA to own and operate its own airports), as well as aviation facilities at five international airports in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Aramco has intensive career development programs under its Career Development Department. These includes PDP (Professional Development Program) for fresh graduates and ADP (Advanced Degree Program) for Master and PhD studies. This program played a central part in transfer of jobs from expatriates to Saudi Arab nationals. To maintain relations with the Saudi Arab government, the company's Government Affairs Organization was set up. It handles nearly all correspondence between Saudi Aramco and others, performs official translations and distribution of correspondence for company action and information, and coordinates meetings between company staff, government officials, private and corporate visitors.

Cyber attack[edit]
Aramco computers were attacked by a virus on 15 August 2012.[44][45] The following day Aramco announced that none of the infected computers were part of the network directly tied to oil production, and that the company would soon resume full operations.[46] Hackers claimed responsibility for the spread of the computer virus.[47] The virus hit companies within the oil and energy sectors.[48][49] A group named "Cutting Sword of Justice" claimed responsibility for an attack on 30,000 Saudi Aramco workstations, causing the company to spend a week restoring their services.[44] The group later indicated that the Shamoon virus had been used in the attack.[50] Due to this attack, the main site of Aramco went down and a message came to the home page apologizing to customers.[51] Computer security specialists said that "The attack, known as Shamoon, is said to have hit "at least one organization" in the sector. Shamoon is capable of wiping files and rendering several computers on a network unusable."[49]

Woman's exceptional care, centered on you
Our New Labor & DeliveryDesigned for the Patient Experience
Woman's new Labor and Delivery Unit is designed to exceed every new mothers' expectations. Located within the hospital's star-shaped design, the new L&D unit's design and function is based on more than 40 years of experience that is, "centered on a woman's care and her family's experience," says Cheri Johnson, RN, director of Obstetrical Services.
Located on the hospital's 2nd floor, the L&D unit has 24 patient rooms all located within two of the star-shaped arms that are surrounded by two nurse's stations. The geometric design of this area provides caregivers improved views of patient rooms, allows better response to patients' needs and advances security.
Childbirth can sometimes last hours, so comfort and space were a priority when designing the L&D rooms. Every room is identical in size and shape, and at 390 square feet, each provides ample family space as well as space for nurses and doctors to provide medical care during labor and delivery. "Delivery is an intimate moment, and the size and shape of these rooms allow us the space to provide excellent care while offering family and friends the freedom to choose an appropriate distance from the mother," explains Johnson. Comfortable and aesthetic amenities include a sofa/bed for overnight guests as well as wood-grained walls and flooring to increase the feel of space and dimension. Hallways are carpeted to reduce outside noise.
"Since women seek various methods of pain management during labor, laboring tubs are in all of our L&D rooms," said Monica Frederic, RN. Frederic and Amye Reeves, RN, are co-managers of Labor and Delivery. Laboring tubs, located in each bathroom, are designed especially for the laboring patient and include closed sanitary systems. The tubs also have large, built-in seats to allow the mother to adjust her position for greatest comfort.
Should a woman require a cesarean section (c-section), she will be prepped for surgery and recover afterward in a private room. C-sections are performed in designated operating rooms equipped with video monitoring and the patient's choice of music during delivery. When medically possible, all babies born via c-section recover with the mother. "We strongly believe in the initial bonding that occurs immediately after birth," explains Johnson.
New to the hospital is a bereavement room. "Because we know that there are times when families need to be together to mourn, Woman's has set aside a special space for those moments," explains Johnson.
Woman's has also provided several locations for families of all sizes to gather. In addition to a large waiting area on the 2nd floor, each unit has a small family lounge for brief respites or when family members are asked to step out of a patient's room. These lounges feature floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake.
Woman's always strives to provide exceptional care. At the new campus, thoughtful measures have been taken to improve efficiency, comfort and the overall patient experience. Our new hospital is located at the corner of Airline Highway and Pecue Lane.

Defensive coordinator Dean Pees reaffirmed that $50 million cornerback Lardarius Webb is healthy and ready heading into the Ravens' season opener Thursday night against the Denver Broncos.
Webb tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last October against the Dallas Cowboys with Dr. James Andrews repairing the damage.
Webb has had a speedy recovery, returning for the Ravens' third preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.

"I think he's absolutely ready to go," Pees said. "I think he's ready to play. He's done a great job of rehabbing. Teryl Austin has done a really good job as our secondary coach of kind of bringing him back not too fast.
"We didn't really kill him at the beginning of camp. We just kind of brought him along slowly and each time gained a little more each week. I think our staff did a really good job of getting him ready. I'd say, yeah, absolutely he's ready."
Webb reacted well to contact against the Panthers even though he didn't break on the football as quickly as before, which was expected.
He's looking for improvement, though.
"I felt great," Webb said. "Just the way I look, I have to improve on some things, get used to some things, feeling out routes. I'm coming along fine. I can't wait to get back to work."
The Ravens face a stiff challenge from the Broncos' wide receivers.

Granite on top of kitchen counters or bath vanities is ubiquitous, but how about soaking in a one-of-a-kind bathtub carved out of a giant granite boulder?
Stone Forest, based in Santa Fe, N.M., offers bathtubs hand-carved from a single hunk of rock. Rather than being cast or laminated, each tub has its own unique shape, color, pattern and texture,
"Our natural bathtubs are functional sculptures that preserve and accentuate the organic beauty of solid granite boulders," said company owner Michael Zimber. The exterior is left in its natural form, he said, which contrasts with the polished interior.
Homeowners will need a sturdy floor and pocketbook to handle these tubs, which weigh in between 2,500 and 3,500 pounds and cost from $14,000 to $17,500 depending on size. They are created to use a Brasstech 270 lift-and-turn drain but can be custom-carved to work with a particular make or model of plumbing hardware. Care for this tub is similar to kitchen granite: Use a stone cleaner and reseal as necessary. Find this tub at Union Hardware in Bethesda.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - Over 1000 runners are expected in Wausau tomorrow for the Never Forgotten Honor Flight 5K run at Bull Falls Brewery.
The 4 year old run has seen an explosion in participation over the last few years, something that Never Forgotten board member Jim Campbell attributes to the earliness in the year. "It's the first time they get to do an event like this so they can shoot for whatever they're shooting for in timing."
The event starts at noon on Saturday ahead of the annual Bockfest at the Brewery. Campbell says the volunteers at the event really help put on a good race and a good show. "They've thrown everything they got into this." All runners will get complimentary drink tickets for the Bockfest, and the top three lady and mens runners will also get commemorative steins. The VFW is scheduled to serve food as well.
Preregistration for the event is close, but on site registration will begin before the race at noon. Proceeds for the event go to the Honor Flight.

More trouble with police for Cleveland Browns star Greg Little over his driving.
Just after 1 a.m. Monday, police records show Little was pulled over at Elm Avenue and Riverbed Street in Cleveland and was cited for failure to stop, change of course and driving under suspension.
Little's car was then towed.
Little is no stranger to traffic trouble. Just last week, he paid $472 in fines and court costs for a ticket over a license plate violation.
He also has another pending ticket for speeding while going 81 mph in a 60 speed zone in Berea.

Comments about Too Faced Matte Eye Shadow Collection, .39 oz:
I mixed/matched this palette with my matte Tarte palette. These get more use than my palettes from TheBalm (vol 1 & 2) Love the colors especially the Vintage Violet! I noticed when I get older, I can't really pull off the really shimmery stuff anymore except when I go to weddings or events! Also, the matte shades will tone down the shimmery e/s. The primer I use is just a cheap Cover Girl concealer because most high end primers make my eyelids itch and basically (to me) they are a waste of money. The three cards included to show you how to use the shades are a nice touch. It is small enough and secured by a magnetic close to fit in a handbag or makeup bag. The only con there is no mirror. Would repurchase again as long as TooFaced still makes this!

Arthritis Drugs & New Medications-2001 Meeting (cont.)
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: Enbrel is already approved for use in children. This verifies its potential in the very young.
Two papers documented the effectiveness and safety of Enbrel in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis in children (juvenile ankylosing spondylitis).
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: These are important papers that will open up options of treatment for this rare disease of children and even children under the age of 4 years, according to one of the studies.
Arava reduces inflammation by suppressing the immune cells responsible for the inflammation. It does this by preventing the formation of DNA and RNA in the immune cells by inhibiting an enzyme (dihydroorotate dehydrogenase) that is necessary for the production of a critical component of DNA and RNA, pyrimidine (a nucleic acid).
Arava plus methotrexate was reported as helpful and safe in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had failed treatment with methotrexate alone. Elevations in liver function test were reversible with either a dose reduction or discontinuation of Arava.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: This is a combination that I have not yet used. Both drugs have similar potential side effects in the liver and bone marrow.
Remicade is frequently given together with weekly methotrexate as this has previously been shown to be helpful in preventing immune reactions to the Remicade. At this meeting, papers were presented that demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of Arava in combination with Remicade as an alternative to the methotrexate/Remicade combination in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: I have already been using this combination effectively in my practice based on preliminary reports already published.
Arava was documented to be as safe after 2 years as in previously published studies of 1 year of use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Arava's main side effects involve liver inflammation, skin rash, diarrhea, and reversible hair loss. Dr. Shiel's Perspective: These side effects all appear to be relatively uncommon and seem to usually improve or resolve with adjustments of the dosage of the drug.
Arava was shown to be well tolerated and effective in treating children with rheumatoid arthritis who had failed or were intolerant of methotrexate.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: This appears to be an important alternative it appears in treating juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
High doses of Arava were successful in treating 30% of lupus patients with resistant arthritis.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: Arava is a drug that is used to treat inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The doses used in this study were double the recommended doses. I won't be using this one until many follow-up studies are performed that verify safety and effectiveness.
Arava was reported as beneficial and well tolerated as a treatment for psoriatic arthritis in a study reported from Italy. Another study from Illinois demonstrated the effectiveness of Arava in treating both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: These are preliminary studies with a small number of patients (six and twelve). More studies are needed to verify these encouraging results.
This is the first in a new drug class that has just become commercially available for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, in patients 18 years of age or older, who have failed treatment with other disease-modifying drugs. It works by blocking the action of a chemical, interleukin-1, which is important in promoting inflammation. Kineret's safety and effectiveness has previously been documented in studies of over 1,300 patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Kineret was shown to improve the functional status of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In another study, Kineret was demonstrated to significantly improve the number of productive days at work and domestic home activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: These are important because, after all, these are critical measures of successful treatment.
Kineret was found to be safe in patients when used in combination with Enbrel (see above). The safety of Kineret in over 1,100 patients was demonstrated as being similar to that of a placebo.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: A combination therapy using more than one antirheumatic drug is commonly necessary in the treatment of certain patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This combination awaits further studies of Kineret before it is used commercially. Low white blood cell counts have previously been reported when combining Kineret with TNF-blocking drugs, such as Enbrel and Remicade. Kineret was also reported to reduce the inflammation of joints when used in combination with other arthritis drugs, such as indocin and methotrexate, but this was in rats. This drug appears relatively safe, but previous reports showed a small increase in infections as compared to the placebo. This drug must be injected into the skin daily. Local skin reactions (usually mild redness and irritation) at the site of the injections is the most common adverse reaction with the drug.
Kineret decreased signs of inflammatory arthritis in rats.

Designing car renderings is already a pretty laborious endeavor in itself, but when the car you're designing happens to be one of the most iconic of any kind in history, the standards are, shall we say, a little higher.
Independent designer, David Cordoso, knows all of this and yet didn't shy away from designing a proposal for the next-generation Volkswagen Beetle , which VW is set to release sometime in the near future.
According to Cordoso, his Beetle design is a fully-electric, emissions-free vehicle that is in-line with the latest development plans of Volkswagen. As far as the design itself is concerned, it's a fresh interpretation of its predecessor and something that we've actually taken a liking to. On the other hand, the car's headlights are a little too small for our taste, which pretty much defeats the purpose of it being called a 'Beetle'.
That's our two cents. What are yours?
