2015 Chrysler Cars
Not much hs changed at Chryser since the full-size rear-drive 300 sedan was completely revamped for 2011. The mid-size Sebring was given a mild makeover the same year and rebadged the 200, with the same badge given to the Sebring Convertible. Chrysler also continues to produce its Town & Country minivan, again significantly updated and improved in 2011.
Founded by Walter Chrysler in 1925, Chrysler vehicles were designed to be aimed at a more premium segment but at mainstream costs and the company has attempted to stay true to this mandate ever since. In 2011 Fiat took over most of the control of Chrysler.

I'm quite chuffed to read this thread on a Chinese web discussion board about Gong Bao chicken (apologies to those of you who can't read Chinese). The poster said she'd tried more than ten different recipes without any success – until she tried mine from Land of Plenty/Sichuan Cookery, which she said produced as good as dish as one in a good Sichuanese restaurant!
Cooking, Recipe, Sichuanese cuisine
18 Comments to Gong Bao chicken
5 March 2010
Well, I'm not surprised. Many of my Chinese friends here in Guangxi like to consult my copy of your book and make extensive notes.
You really should translate it to Chinese. I'm sure it would be popular!
5 March 2010
Thanks Liuzhou Laowai! Perhaps one day it will be translated into Chinese…
5 March 2010
Well, I am not surprised either. I will never forget when I made your mapo doufu for a bunch of Chinese friends in Washington, DC, soon after I first got the book. Several of them came up to me to ask which restaurant prepared the dish, since they had not found such authentic flavor in any US restaurant. They were stunned that a) I had made it and b) that it came from a book written by a laowai!
5 March 2010
That's so funny, James!
Actually it's happened to me several times that people meeting me for the first time have been surprised to discover that I'm not Chinese – I think they see 'Fuchsia' as a potentially vaguely oriental flower name, and assume I'm married to an Englishman named 'Dunlop'.
6 March 2010
A local family owned Sichuan Chinese restaurant (considered to be one of the best and most authentic in the area) serves their Gong Bao (Kung Pao) Chicken with sliced rounds of baby cucumber. I find the crunch it provides makes their version really tasty and interesting.
In China did you encounter the dish made this way often, seldom, or never?
6 March 2010
In Sichuan I don't think I've encountered the dish made in the way you describe. The usual Chengdu version is as described in my book, with chicken and peanuts, and the 小配料 'small accompanying ingredients' of ginger, garlic and spring onions (scallions). My impression is that Sichuanese restaurants in the West add vegetable ingredients like celery (or in this case cucumber) to bulk it out, because people expect bigger portions, and it would be too expensive to offer a big portion of just chicken, with no secondary ingredients.
On the other hand, the Sichuanese do cook other chicken stir-fries with secondary ingredients, like 醋熘鸡 chicken with vinegar, which is also in my Sichuan book, and which has celery as 配料 accompanying ingredient. Incidentally, chicken with vinegar is a wonderful recipe which I highly recommend: I rediscovered it some time ago, and now make it often. It's a refreshing change from Gong Bao chicken, however addicted you are to it, and a bit more unusual.
7 March 2010
i've never had gong bao ji ding at a sichuan restaurant, but i will say that i love your version in land of plenty!
my favorite might chicken dish of yours is probably ma la zi ji from the revolutionary cookbook. so delicious!
i bought both cookbooks after i spent 6 weeks in china 3 years ago and have been using them ever since!
you make authentic & delicious chinese food accessible when you're in the west. thank you!
7 March 2010
I live in Italy and can't get hold of decent chinese produce so now I grow my own thanks to you
8 March 2010
Thanks for the reply.
My curiosity led me to a post/discussion about Gong Bao Chicken on Serious Eats, where they debate the authenticity of not just cucumber, but even peanuts (your name comes up at one point as well):
Seems like maybe it's a regional thing, I know the owners of my local restaurant are from Tianjin, not Sichuan proper.
I'm forever intrigued about local variations of "standardized" dishes (like your red braised pork post) be they from China, Vietnam, Italy or Lousiana (to name just a few places that come to mind).
I'll have to revisit that Chicken with Vinegar recipe–sounds great.
9 March 2010
Really, Fuchsia, your Gong Bao Ji Ding recipe reminded me of my hometown. I came from a family with a lot of food history. My grandfather worked in 龙抄手。My grandmother and my auntie worked in 芙蓉餐厅。 My uncle, now one of the chefs and co-owners of my father's fast food restaurants worked in 耀华餐厅。
I can fool all of my Laowai friends and pretend to be a good cook when I follow your directions. Your gong bao ji ding recipe earned me a few brownie points as it is one of my boss' favorite dishes from me.
Just a side note, I devoured your book "shark fin's and sichuan pepper", it made me miss Chengdu. I laughed out loud when I read the risotto vs. tang fan section. Aren't we chengdu people just so blunt?
10 March 2010
Yes, there are many different version of Gong Bao Ji Ding, but as Gong Bao ('protect the palace', 'palace protector') was what they called Ding Baozhen's job in Chengdu, where he served as governor, I think it's fair to assume that it's really a Chengdu dish and that IF one wants to talk about an authentic version, that is where one should look.
But I understand that because Ding Baozhen was originally from Guizhou, they claim to have an original version in Guizhou too – do any of you blog readers know anything about this? I haven't spent much time in Guizhou, and have not investigated.
Zhen – thanks so much for your message, and yes, you really are an old Chengdu food family! Long Chao Shou is one of my favourite places – the head pastry chef there, Fan Shixian, taught me so much, and was so kind to me. I spent many happy days in their kitchen, learning how to make various dumplings.

Hi Fuchsia
Re: your comment about chicken with vinegar – I was talking about fish and chips with a Chinese friend of mine recently (she claims it's the only "Western" dish she likes!) and she contended that batter is not used in Chinese cuisine (she's from Shanghai area) and that there is no word for it in Chinese. As your chicken with vinegar recipe uses a light batter, I'm interested to know how you would refer to the batter in Chinese?
24 June 2010
I have been using both your book like a little bible. Everything works! Thank you!
24 June 2010
Sorry, it's been MONTHS since you posted your comment, I do hope that one day you find this reply!
When I was at cooking school in Sichuan, we did learn how to make various batters for deep-fried foods – applying the batter before frying was known as 挂糊 (gua hu, 'cover in paste').
3hungrytummies, thanks!
29 October 2010
Was wondering whether you'd found out anything further about Ding Baozhen and possibly gongbao jiding being from Guizhou?
I have travelled extensively in Guizhou, and though I love the place it's extremely poor with none of Sichuan's abundance. I'd sum the food up – at least in rural areas – as mostly comprising hefen, sour hotpot (fish or chicken) and dog. Chillies with everything, but no Sichuan pepper.
Many thanks for writing Sichuanese Cooking and the Revolutionary Cookbook – though in the latter wish you'd put more recipes in from the Fire Palace, one of my all-time favourite restaurants. Ah, everyone's a critic…
best wishes
6 December 2010
In response to David's question (and for Fuchsia if she hasn't seen this), the case for the Guizhou origin was made in this 2005 article in the New York Times, which also states that peanuts are not part of the original recipe. http://is.gd/iha0O
14 February 2012
Hey, Fuschia, I'm very late in posting this, but I have a question. The way I had encountered this dish (during the year I spent in Chengdu) involved (about 70% of the time) this weird, crunchy light emerald green vegetable that seemed sort of like cubed chayote squash (but wasn't), and thus celery or cucumber seemed like a close American approximation. I don't really care about its historical authenticity in this case, I'd just be really thrilled if you knew what that vegetable is because I really loved it! I feel like as long as the food isn't being "toned down" for western palates, the food will be authentic. I once read your recipe for hui guo rou in Go Chengdu but was let down at first when I noticed it wasn't like the one I'd get from the homestyle place around the corner; they used fermented black beans and fermented chili-bean paste with the belly (and sometimes cabbage, which I loved!). There are so many variations of every classic dish out there, I guess some of it is a matter of taste, as long as it still clocks you in the face with bold chilis, garlic, hua jiao the way only Sichuan food can..
16 February 2012
Hi Jerms
You are talking about stem lettuce, known in Chinese as qing sun or wo sun, and in English sometimes as celtuce. Restaurants sometimes add it to make the chicken go further! I agree that it's a truly marvellous vegetable: it's one of those that I miss most when I'm not in China.

The techniques used to create an artificial sense of light are some of the most visually interesting effects that can be accomplished on a painted miniature. Whether you call it lighting effects, object source lighting, OSL, or reflected light, the end result is the same: faking light. The effect utilizes an artificial light source, whether created on a model or external to it, and paints surrounding areas to give the illusion of light being cast on surfaces. The most common examples in IK miniature painting include fire light from torches, reflected glowing lights from warjack furnaces, and glowing electrical components/coils.
This is not an article for beginners; this is an article for those people who have a grasp on applying paint to a model. This article assumes that you, the reader, have a basic knowledge of miniature painting. This article presents some very basic principles, but references many techniques with no explanation as to what they are. If you know what I'm talking about when I say "washing" or "highlighting" or "feathering" then things will be just fine. If not, I recommend getting some experience with mentioned techniques before continuing on.
This is also not meant to be a physics lesson. Some of the language has been chosen to more effectively get a point across; saying more with less. If you're a physics teacher, please don't email me with corrections and diagrams. *laugh*
Direction and Intensity
There are two basic principles to understand when working with light effects: direction and intensity.
Light travels in constant speeds and direct lines. Often we don't see these direct lines, and instead see the effect of infinite lines going in infinite directions because typical light sources do not focus light. We often see a forced direction to light when something is used to block light from traveling in given directions. Check a flashlight sometime. The light appears to travel in a beam because much of the light is being blocked by the flashlight housing. This is important for reasons you'll see later. Needless to say, it will be important to understand how to develop the illusion of direction and path in order to create lighting effects. Light has direction, and if something gets in the path, there will be no light past it.
The other important principle is intensity. Objects "light up" because they reflect light shone on them. The closer an object is to the light source, the brighter, more intense the reflected light is. As an object gets farther away from the light source the reflected light will begin to diffuse, to look faded. Ambient lighting (lighting in the environment) is also an important factor for intensity. Ambient light will "pollute" light from lighting effects, decreasing the intensity. Reducing or removing ambient light will enhance the intensity of reflected light.
Here are real examples of how light is reflected from an object, with examples of direction and intensity. Both use the same lamp with the same blue bulb, at the same distance.
Note in the first picture the direction of the light. The light source is on [our] left of the skull. The light is traveling in a direct line to the right face, and all surfaces in the path are reflecting the light. The surfaces on the opposite side of the light source are not in the path of the light, and therefore remain dark. A really important example of the path the light is taking is with the crater in the forehead. The entire left surface is lit up, and then the crater becomes dark as light is blocked. However, along the right edge, some light does manage to travel past and you see that right edge lit up as well.
The intensity of the light in the first picture is also important. Note that the right face cheekbone and the very edge facing the light appear much brighter. The jawline and edge of the nose, too. Now, take note on the reduced intensity of the light across the forehead, and at the lighted portions of the crater, on our right.
In this second picture, ambient light has been added. You can now see the entire skull. The direction of the blue light hasn't changed, so you should still see the same lighted and shadowed areas as before. The intensity of the blue light, however, is much less. Take a minute to study the two photos and understand how the light is working here.
Intensity is also changed at the light source itself. A more powerful light source can overpower the light pollution caused by ambient light. More on that later.
OSL in practice
The easiest way for me to explain this further is to work with an example. Here I have a Warder for a Druids of Orboros unit. My goal is to create a sense of light for this model as he draws on power for a Devouring. The model is about 75% complete. There is no right time to add light effects. It can be done at the beginning, before any other part of the model is done, at the end as an afterthought, or anywhere in between.
First off, choose a color for the light; something that when highlighted with white will give the illusion of glowing. P3 Arcane Blue and Necrotite Green work. You can also do this with fire using yellows and reds, but I'm going to stick with Arcane Blue for this.
The next step is to determine a light source and block off the colors for the source. You can see in the photos that I chose the right hand to be the light source, and have only gone in with straight Arcane Blue to cover the area that will be "the light".
Remember that comment about the flashlight housing blocking the direction of light? Here's where you get to see the concept start. Only the palm of the hand is painted, and the hand itself with serve to block light from passing "behind" it.
Once you've blocked in the light source, imagine lines of light extending out in all directions. You're going to have to eyeball where the light falls and where the intesity is greatest. Figure out where the light would go, and make sure to identify spots where things will block the light. A hand in between the light source and a shoulder will create a shadow on the shoulder, a bent leg will likely block light to the crotch, one side of the face will be lit and the other won't be, etc.
Create the light source
Creating the light source is easier than you may think. Simply highlight it like you would anything else. In the case of my Warder, I have taken the Arcane Blue and added in highlights using progressively more Morrow White, to the point that the final highlight is straight white.
It really doesn't look like much beyond a blue hand.
Low Intensity
Using what you know now about direction and intensity it's time to start making things glow. We'll start this Warder with a low intensity glow from his hand. The effect will create the sense of less power.
First, find the path of the light. Using the red direction lines from above I could plot out where light should fall. Next, figure out where to stop the reflected light. To accomplish this, pick a point where the light will effectively become too diffused to see naturally. From the Warder's hand, it's probably his shoulder. No artificial light should come past that point.
The painting of the light is really just using thinned down Arcane Blue to create a wash over the surface that is reflecting the light. The edges of the Arcane Blue should be feathered with a damp brush so that there aren't hard lines. The wash should cover enough of the surface to alter the color, but should not be so heavy as to obscure the base color beneath.
Care should be taken to not stray past the lines created by the direction of the light, and that things like the thumb should appropriately adjust the direction.
Now here's the amazing part: that's it. For a low intensity light, all you need is to map the path of the light color and use a wash to color the surface. Any highlights to the Arcane Blue are unnecessary. However, add a little bit of white to the Arcane Blue and apply a second wash and the light will "pop".
This particular technique is especially useful when you want to extend the glow from a furnace, or add a glow to eyes.
High Intensity
A high intensity light requires a bit more planning. Again, figure out the path for the light to travel. If I step up the intensity on my Warder, it should follow more of the red lines from before and go all the way out to the weapon in the left hand.
The next step, after planning, will be to block in the light color. This will be taking the base Arcane Blue and applying it to all the surfaces that light will reflect from. Take a look at the Warder below. Arcane Blue was painted on quite liberally. Care was taken to maintain the proper paths, and to be cognizant of places where light will be blocked. Note how the light stops at points along the right shoulder pad, the face, the legs, and the arms.
When applying this base coat there are two ways to finish the "edges" of the light color. For edges where the light will naturally diffuse, like one the left arm of my Warder, I recommend feathering the edges of the paint to give it a smoother transition back to the normal base color. This will break up hard edges and will create a translucent edge that will give the illusion of fading/diffusing light. However, for edges created by shadow (light being blocked), like on the right side of the torso of the Warder, sharper edges between the base color and the light color are appropriate.
The next step is the simple part: highlight. Start mixing in white to the Arcane Blue and build highlights as normal over the blue base coat. The important trick here is that every single highlight must be aimed towards the light source. If you highlight opposite of the light source you will destroy the illusion of reflected light. Also, the brighter points of the highlights are going to be pointed directly towards the light source, and the brightest highlights will be closer to the light source. An example can be seen below as the highlights on the shoulder edges are brighter than the highlights on the left arm.
Use progressive layers of highlights, mixing in a little more white each time. Three or four is often enough. Never build the highlight up to straight white; that should be reserved for the light source only.
Here is the [mostly] finished Warder. I have finished the base, and extended the blue light to the ground using the same principles as before.
This Warder is an example of how a very powerful light source has overpowered the light pollution caused by ambient light. Reference back to the skull examples above and see how faint the light actually is. This much intensity would be appropriate if the model was in the dark, and the non lighted areas were all black… or… it is appropriate if the light source has a great deal of power.
Other Examples
The following are other examples of high and low intensity reflected light using P3 Arcane Blue.
The first is Eiryss the Mage Hunter. For this example I have both her sword and the tip of the crossbow bolt glowing. Study the pictures and you'll notice that the bolt tip glows out along the front edge of the bow arm, and a little bit touches the cloak.
The second example is Krueger the Stormwrath. I have created the light source [again] in his palm, and created a low intensity glow that hits his upper torso and face. Others have remarked that the cloak should have some light reflected, but the cloak is noticeably behind him, so any reflected light would be unnatural.
The final example is a high intensity Woldwarden. You can see how the main Arcane Blue color was blocked out and then highlighted up. Note things like the left shin, where the right knee ends up blocking the path of the light.
I strongly recommend taking some time to look around at the world and watch how light is cast onto objects. Direction and intensity. Those are the two things to remember about painting reflected light. It's easy to fake, but with a critical eye it can be even easier to create effects that are natural and realistic.
Good luck and good painting!

A tale of weddings, betrayal, murder, and revenge. He never really liked the comparison of knots with marriage. It always made him picture someone tying a noose and hanging themselves. Marriage is ...
"I'm really sorry for bothering you. You didn't have to come with us today," Scarlett apologized for the tenth time.
"It's okay," Ray reassured her. "I don't have work tomorrow, anyways."
Ray gazed out of the car window to see Frank's home illuminated by the porch lights. It was a mansion compared to his apartment. The beige walls were clean with the paint perfectly in tact. The front lawn was the cleanest he'd seen in a long time. Where he lived, his lawn was considered the cleanest. There was a thorny bush carrying red, white, and yellow roses. The roof was a bright shade of maroon with a small chimney. There didn't seem to be a speck of dust near his doors. The silver numbers on the side of his home didn't even have a hint of rusting.
"Well, let's go," Scarlett suggested.
She walked toward the window and peeked inside. She waved at Frank's figure and waited patiently before he finally saw her. Frank didn't answer the door to just anyone anymore.
When the door opened, Scarlett was relieved that she couldn't see Frank's face through the window. She might've just turned and drove away.
"What do you want?" Frank asked, sounding irritably impatient.
Scarlett was speechless. She couldn't imagine him to look any worse after the funeral. But the man in front of her had little to no resemblance of the Frank she knew. He had a full grown beard and his hair, apparently unwashed, stuck up in the back and hung limply down the sides of his face. His eyes were bloodshot from a lack of sleep and an excess of alcohol. She could smell the evidence of smoke left behind by cigarettes. He quit for Annie, but since Annie was gone there was no more promise to break.
The silence had gone on for too long.
"Frank, we have someone here we thought you should meet," Bob announced.
Frank said nothing, only averting his sight towards Ray. His eyes seemed careless, full of hopelessness and indifference.
"Uh...This is Ray Toro," Scarlett said, coming out of her trance.
"Hi," Ray greeted, politely offering his hand.
Frank only stared at it, not moving an inch. Ray's hand retreated, leaving him feeling embarrassed and unwelcome.
"Frank, the same killer murdered Ray's girlfriend," Scarlett tried to explain.
Frank gazed back at her, not saying a word. It was as if he was waiting for her to say more.
"We thought you two could talk," Bob added. "You'd understand each other."
Frank gave them an icy glare. His eyes rested on Ray, sending chills over his body.
"What could I possibly want to talk to him about?" Frank snapped suddenly, making the three of them jump.
"I just thought you could grieve together, I guess," Scarlett suggested. "We all could use someone to share our pain."
"Save that shit for church, Scarlett," Frank spat. "I don't need you bothering me in the middle of the night bringing strangers to my home."
"We're not strangers, Frank," Scarlett argued. "We're family."
"I'm not related to any of you," Frank said coldly. "I don't share your blood."
Scarlett's patience was deteriorating in front of her eyes. Her temper was beginning to flare. She didn't have Annie's patience, she never did. All she wanted now was to smack her sister's fiance across his face and literally knock some sense into him. Bob noticed her step forward and immediately intervened.
"We'll leave now," Bob said, standing in front of Scarlett.
He returned Frank's glower with his own threatening glare. In one quick motion, Frank slammed the door and they heard him lock it tightly.
Scarlett rushed back into the car. Bob directed her to the passenger seat offering to drive. Ray quietly followed and seated himself into the backseat. Once Bob got the car back on the street, Scarlett burst into tears. Bob gave her a quick glance before returning it toward the road. He used one of his arms to wrap around her and rub her back.
"It's okay, Scarlett," Bob whispered. "He's suffering."
"We all are," Scarlett sniffled. "But now it feels like I lost two people."
Suddenly, Scarlett remembered that Ray was still with them. He was sitting in the backseat, a silent witness to the disastrous visit.
"Ray," Scarlett said, her voice unsteady but soft. "I'm so sorry."
She turned her head to meet with his eyes. She could see the sympathy in them. But it wasn't the same pity that angered her at Annie's funeral. It was true understanding that she could feel resonating from his gaze.
"Do you want to spend the night at my home, Ray?" Scarlett offered. "It's the least I can do."
"I don't want to be a disturbance," Ray replied.
"No, you won't be at all," Scarlett insisted. "I'd like you to stay. If you don't mind."
"Thank you," Ray accepted.
It was a tiring night for Ray Toro. After another exhausting day of work, all he wanted to do was to sleep in for the rest of the week. What he got was a couple of visitors forcing him to relive the past he wanted to forget, the present that he refused to believe, and the future that he was afraid to see. If it were anyone else, he would've kindly told them to leave. But he felt drawn to Scarlett. There was something about her that made him feel a little less tired and a little more determined to put an end to what he let continue. He pushed his guilt aside, and knew that she was the one he could tell. She would be proof that letting those forbidden words escape his lips would not kill him. If only he could get them out.

Kevin Feige Expects Sequel Success
Marvel Head Honcho, Top Dog and Big Cheese Kevin Feige has been ramping up the hype ahead of the April release of Iron Man 3, expounding on various aspects of the film, its characters and their future.
"Robert Downey Jr. gave his all to this performance...he left no stone unturned."
On Tony Stark's state of mind in the film:
"So much of the journey of 'Iron Man 3' is informed by Tony's experiences in 'The Avengers. It's almost like post-traumatic stress. He really has retreated after the events of 'The Avengers' into his workshop, where he's building advanced versions of his suits."
"He has [fashioned] a version of the suit that can latch onto him in individual pieces ... anytime, anywhere. As he starts to realize, it's basically because he doesn't want to be out of the suit. He's seen a lot of things in 'Avengers' and has encountered a lot of powerful people, much more powerful than he is."
"It brings us back to the Tony we met in the first part of 'Iron Man' where he's removed from that convoy and brought to the cave with nothing but a box of scraps. It's fun for all of us to watch Tony try to figure out how to get out of that scenario."
"Much of the movie is Tony in the middle of the country without his tools and a fairly broken suit to help him. But that's his superpower: he wasn't born on Asgard, he wasn't hit by gamma rays, and he doesn't have the super soldier serum. His power is his brain. It's fun to put Tony Stark in a corner with nothing and see how he can get out of it."
On Ben Kingsley as Stark nemesis The Mandarin:
"The Mandarin is relentless: he's a non-stop threat, and you've seen that in the first teaser trailer when Tony Stark's house tumbles into the sea. He doesn't mess around, this guy."
On director Shane Black's previous involvement in the franchise, Feige had this to say:
"No one has been shy — myself, Robert and Jon Favreau — about how Shane worked in the shadows of the first 'Iron Man' film, helping with certain scenes and helping with tonal things. This film, it's much less the culmination of the previous 'Iron Man' movies in part three: this is 'Iron Man: A Shane Black Film.' That, to me, is by far the most unique thing about this movie."
On whether there is a danger of audiences experiencing 'Marvel fatigue', Feige is optimistic:
"Characters like James Bond and Batman, whose stories go on and on and on — I think Tony is one of those characters. Where we go directly after 'Iron Man 3' ... I'm not looking too far ahead. I'm looking to finish 'Iron Man 3,' getting into 'Avengers 2,' and then seeing where we go from there. But I do think we have more Tony Stark tales to tell, and we'll take it one movie — or maybe two movies — at a time."
Iron Man 3 suits up 26th April.

Two More Arrests Made In Connection To Arson/Burglary Spree
Charges were filed Friday against two more people suspected in the April 2008 burglaries and arson of several cabins in Pine County that caused an estimated $1.5 million in losses. Pine County Sheriff Mark Mansavage had said on Tuesday (Sept. 21) that two more people would be charged in the spree, so this comes as no surprise.
Kristina Louise Langerud, 20, of Sandstone and Kevin Douglas Ingles, 21, of Brook Park, were charged in Pine County District Court on Sept. 21. Langerud faces five counts of burglary and one count of first-degree arson. Ingles is charged with one count each of first, second and third degree burglary.
Charges previously were filed against Langerud's boyfriend, Brandon A. Lind, 25, of Sandstone, and Christian A. Eichert, 22. Lind is charged with 36 counts of arson and burglary, while Eichert faces 21 counts stemming from the night of April 12, 2008, when the men allegedly burned down eight cabins, a garage and a sportsman's club totaling $1.5 million.
According to the charges, Langerud helped Lind to burglarize six cabins, setting one of them on fire.
Langerud, who along with Lind had been charged in Pine County with two earlier burglaries in 2007 and 2008, led authorities to residences and buildings that Lind had allegedly burglarized. Many of those crimes are part of the 36-count complaint against him.
"Lind knows that he will be caught but does not know when," the complaint quotes her as saying. As for Eichert, who now faces 21 felony counts, Langerud described him as a fire-setter who believed he would never be caught.
Investigators also met with Ingles, who said that he committed two burglaries with Lind and Eichert in the spring of 2008.

Pros & Cons
How To Switch
Our Recommendations
In-Home Wireless
Unwired Discounts
Mobile Site >
Pros & Cons of Cutting the Cord:
Most wireline phone companies charge more than what you'd pay for most alternatives, and some are taxed more as well. There are some locations where getting new wired phone service is prohibitively expensive or even impossible. Long Distance and extra features like Call Waiting are normally included with alternative phones.
More Features:
Cellular and broadband phones normally include Long Distance, Voice Mail, Caller ID, Call Forwarding and more, usually at no additional charge. They also have Text Messaging and various forms of data service which are unavailable with a landline.
If you move your home more than average (or if it's on wheels), your phone and your number can stay with you. There are no "installation" charges.
Temporary Usage:
You can have phone service for the season in a vacation home or cabin, or on an extended stay at a hotel or home of a friend or relative without installing a separate line.
Unlimited Plans:
Most alternatives offer a plan that includes
talk minutes and Long Distance, including cellular. Most cellular carriers have eliminated Unlimited Data plans, although there are some that include Data with some other restrictions.
You can easily set up an account (especially prepaid cellular) with either no name or an alternative identity.
Fewer Telemarketers:
Nuisance calls are reduced because telemarketers want to target customers in certain geographic areas. They won't know where you are. Most telcos provide your landline number to telemarketers. With cellular it's illegal...for now. With broadband, it depends on the carrier who sets up your number.
Internet Access:
Your wireless phone can also be your connection to the Internet, either with an internal browser or tethered to your computer, and available wherever there is cellular coverage. Wireless broadband is also available separate from your cellular account.
Wi-Fi for Multiple Devices:
You can get a cellular modem that provides a wi-fi signal that can connect to up to 5 separate wi-fi devices.
It's Green:
Replace your fax with an Internet-based fax service like
and stop wasting paper and ink. (Give your old fax to charity)
Some wired phone companies just treat their customers badly. Sometimes it feels better to leave...at any price.
If you need to call 911, public safety authorities won't automatically know where you are, you'll have to tell them. Also, calls with alternative phones will not necessarily be routed to the closest agency. Also, you won't receive "Reverse 911" calls alerting you to a public emergency in your neighborhood unless your local emergency center allows you to sign up your number and associate it with a local address.
Some businesses will not allow you to use their services without a traceable land line. This includes credit card companies, pizza shops and a few others, although this rule is slowly being relaxed. Satellite TV services want a landline-like plug for their equipment to call them each night. It does work with some broadband phone systems. Your satellite service can still work without it, but you will most likely pay an extra charge.
Wired telephone services have come as close to 100% reliable as is practical. Their network has substantial power backup, redundant circuits and years to get it right. Alternatives are improving but their networks can vary significantly. Cell sites and other communications nodes have a limited amount of backup power. In an extended power outage, such as after a hurricane or snowstorm, the service may not work, leaving you with no service. Corded phones work in power failures. Cable phones also have a lower level of reliability.
Sound Quality:
Some alternative phones don't sound the same or as good as a landline. While your alternative phone may sound fine to you, it may be difficult for others. Also, some broadband phone services just dump their audio into the Internet resulting in widely varying data travel times giving you significant sound delays.
Lack of Service
You may be in a location where there are no wireless broadband alternatives or may have poor cellular coverage. This might be rectified by
adding a 'cell site' to your home
Broadband Speeds:
While there are some fairly fast wireless broadband connections, it may be some time before they will compare to wired or cable connections.
Cell sites can stop working for various reasons. Repairs often need to be made on site and may take time. Broadband services require one or more pieces of equipment at your house which
will need to fix if it fails. Wireline equipment can normally be repaired at the central office. Murphy's Law says breakdowns will happen at the worst possible time.
You Have No Backup:
Unless you have an extra cellular phone, if something happens to your main phone or its associated equipment, or your account, you can't just plug another phone into the wall.
Some alternative services only offer a single jack for one phone. If you want service throughout the house you either must go wi-fi or cellular. Otherwise, plan on using the phone near your computer or router. With a cell phone you need to keep it close to you if your home is large or on multiple floors.
It Might be Difficult to Get a Job
Some employers require a "Local" number to consider you for a position. While you can change your out-of-town portable number to something local, there goes your "Number For Life."
Surprise Costs.
Since you normally pay for cellular by the minute, you might talk a lot more than you think. Savings may be less than you expected when calculated long term. Broadband carriers are not regulated like wireline services and could make changes that you don't expect.
You Won't Be Listed in the Phone Book.
Some directories let you to pay for a personal listing, but others use that as a way to keep you as a landline customer.
Alarm systems
Most existing dial-up alarm systems don't work with broadband phone connections. There are other alarm alternatives, including wireless.
You May Not Be Able to Send or Receive Faxes.
In some cases, faxing is not an issue. In others, you can't just plug in your fax machine. A better choice is to to use a paperless, web-based service like

Review: The DONNA Glove
We recently heard about a new breast self-check product coming to Lebanon: the DONNA Glove, advertised to amplify sensitivity during a Breast Self-Exam (BSE). But with several BSE options out there, what makes this particular one stand out? We got in touch with the DONNA Glove's distributers in Lebanon to find out more and they kindly provided us with a sample to try out. After a few days of testing and getting a better sense of the product, here's our review and personal take on the DONNA Glove.

Opinion | Los Angeles Times :: Glenn Greenwald, the ne plus ultra of critics of what he calls the "surveillance state" -- and of the Obama administration's anti-terror tactics -- is accusing Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) of being hostile to "basic press freedoms." Greenwald's evidence consists of Feinstein's statement to an Australian newspaper that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be prosecuted under the Espionage Act.
[Michael McGough:] ... the idea that the 1st Amendment protects an institution obviously raises the question of how that institution is defined and demarcated: Is WikiLeaks part of that institution?

I use one of these in my macaws cage. An unusual toy for a bird but my macaw had a stuffed animal as a baby and loves them. I put the animal on top of the cage and the legs inside. The Macaw doesn't tear it up for a long time.

Vikings Use Big Second-Half Run To Trip Panthers
Feb. 17, 2013
Cleveland, Ohio - Bryn Forbes tied a Cleveland State season-high with 24 points and the Vikings outscored the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's basketball team 51-30 in the second half to claim an 88-67 victory Sunday afternoon at the Wolstein Center.
After a pair of free throws by J.J. Panoske, UWM (6-22, 2-12 Horizon) led 41-39, but the Vikings (13-15, 5-9) offense then exploded to go on a 29-8 run to open the game up and take a commanding 68-49 lead.
Jordan Aaron led the way for UWM with 18 points, Austin Arians had 15 and Paris Gulley had 12 for the Panthers who shot a season-high 51.1 percent from the floor, the third-straight game the team has set a season best in shooting.
CSU connected on 52.5 percent of their shots and claimed a 36-23 edge in rebounds. That strong showing on the boards led to 22 second-chance points for the Vikings spurred by Charlie Lee who netted 17 of his 20 points after the break, including four 3-point baskets.
"We just ran out of gas," Milwaukee head coach Rob Jeter said. "We've played a lot of games here down the stretch. I know other teams are doing it, but we brought 11 guys on this trip and only 10 were available today. Fatigue really set it. It's mental and physical.
"Our guys answered an impressive run by Cleveland State in the first half and I thought we started the game well. In the second half, we just couldn't get to the rebounds. 22 second-chance points. Physically, they could get to the ball quicker than we could and it was the reason they could get those runs going.
"We shot over a point per possession. We shot great numbers, but it's our lack of being able to get stops right now that's hurting us."
Milwaukee came out of the gates strong, connecting on seven of its first 11 shots, led by Gulley who had seven of the team's first nine points.
After a three by Aaron, the Panthers claimed a 17-9 lead with 11:03 remaining in the first half, the largest lead for either team in the opening frame.
Cleveland State managed to rattle of a 19-8 run to build a seven-point lead late in the first half, but a run by UWM capped by a tough jumper by Aaron with a hand in his face as the first-half buzzer sounded knotted the game at 37 apiece at the break.
"We're not making any excuses but fatigue does set in. I saw it in our guys for the first time tonight - I saw that, just physically it looked like they couldn't get to places," Jeter said.
"We're trying to put guys in positions to have some success. I liked the pace of our game, we're doing a great job there but it's just the defensive-end and our inability to stop putting that much pressure on us on the offensive end. We can't allow runs to happen because of second-chance opportunities. I'm pleased that, offensively, we've started to establish a pace. It's on the defensive end that we can't plug enough of the holes."
Milwaukee now returns home for its final regular-season home contest of the year when it hosts UIC Wednesday night at the Klotsche Center for a 7 p.m. contest.

Same Mistake by James Blunt, Music Video, Lyrics and Review
"Same Mistake" will be the second single released from James Blunt's album All the Lost Souls. It is scheduled for release in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2007. Radio play began on November 1, 2007 on selected stations in the United Kingdom and Europe.
The song was edited for radio release; the album version of the song runs 4:59, while the radio edit runs 3:55. Half of the first verse, and the entire second verse, were edited out, significantly changing the context of the song.
James Blunt - Same Mistake Lyrics
So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go
Hello, hello
There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy, does it show
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go
oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo…
And so I sent some men to fight,
And one came back at dead of night,
said "Have you seen my enemy?"
said "he looked just like me"
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go
oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo…
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
Cos I'll just make the same mistake again,
oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo…
And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises 'cause
There are no promises I keep,
and my reflection troubles me
so here I go
oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo…
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
Cos I'll just make the same mistake (REPEAT) again
oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo…
So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars
Look at the stars, falling down,
And I wonder where, did I go wrong.
James Blunt - Same Mistake Single Review
Released December 3, 2007
Recorded 2007
Genre Folk Rock
Length 4:59
James Blunt seemed to come out of nowhere a couple years ago to become an international superstar. His highly anticipated new album "All The Lost Souls" is a certified smash, topping charts across the globe last week and debuting at No. 7 in the US.
About the video 'Same Mistake'
The video for Same Mistake was filmed in Toronto, Canada on October 5, 2007. It was directed by Jonas Akerlund, who is well known for his work with artists such as Madonna and Christina Aguilera. The video uses an interesting filming technique, where the camera is attached to a frame worn on Blunt's upper torso and is focused on his face throught the entire video. It was released on November 1, 2007 on the website of The Sun, a British tabloid-style newspaper, and on MSN.
The camera "follows" Blunt through a day in his life, from awakening with a beautiful young woman beside him, through his morning ablutions and breakfast, strolling his neighbourhood, meeting up with friends, and eventually arriving at a club. At the club, Blunt becomes the focus of attention of numerous women, although his reaction appears to be zombie-like. Eventually he leaves the club, and returns home with one of the women. They make love, although Blunt appears detached and bored. The video ends with Blunt singing "where did I go wrong?" and falling asleep.

Here is what James Blunt talking about the song.
"Same Mistake" I wrote while I was on the road, and I can't remember exactly when - it was pretty early on, actually. So we've been able to road test that for a while now, and we knew that it went really well - so well that we actually stopped playing it for a while just so we didn't bore ourselves by overplaying it and so hopefully other people didn't hear it too much so when we released it on this album it would be new and fresh to us all. Again, having toured it, we were a bit nervous as to whether or not we'd be able to capture it in the studio, but I think we've done it and that's a really exciting song.

Nike Air Max 24/7 – Glass Blue | Available
October 21st, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 4 comments
Glass Blue is a popular shade on several Nike Sportswear silhouettes, and offers quite a bit of versatility for just a single shade. We've seen an Air Max 90 Current Moire push it toward neon/electric with other bright accents, Dunks utilizing it with white and black for a Tiffany nod and now this stunning Nike Air Max 24/7, which takes its cues from the OG Air Max 95 colorways. As such, Glass Blue is applied to the eyelets and Max Air cushion, but these are special with their use of an iridescent material on the reflective parts that gives off a Matrix-like liquid effect. Click below to see more pics and grab these before they sell out at WestNYC or get yours now on eBay.

In a country enamored with a show about two guys making bright blue methamphetamine, it's no wonder New York City policemen might've had drugs on the brain. But after cops mistook a few Jolly Rancher hard candies for meth and arrested three men in connection with the "controlled substance," the NYPD has agreed to pay $33,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by one of the men who was in custody for 24 hours.

NYC Pays Out $33,000 In Settlement After Police Mistake Jolly Ranchers For Meth
Police: Woman Who Led Cops On High-Speed Chase Claims She Paid For Stolen Car With Meth
While you could possibly convince police that you didn't know the car you bought was stolen, admitting that ou paid for it with meth will still probably land you in a spot of trouble. Especially after you've worn out cops with a high-speed chase exceeding 100 mph. That won't help, either. [More]
It's Customary To Leave The Meth In Your Pocket & The Cash On The Table When Tipping
Listen, people, if you can't binge watch TV shows responsibly, someone should probably revoke your Netflix privileges. That's the kind of joke we have to make when we hear that a couple in Oregon left their waitress methamphetamine as a tip. Even Jesse wouldn't do that. Or he would. But whatever, real life is not Breaking Bad life. [More]
Lawsuit Claims Cops Couldn't Tell The Difference Between Jolly Ranchers & Meth
The popularity of Breaking Bad has apparently invaded the public consciousnes to such a degree that it's got police seeing drugs when there's only candy to be found: A New York man has filed a lawsuit claiming cops detained him and a friend for 24 hours because they thought the Jolly Ranchers they had were methamphetamine. Oops. [More]
Meth House Haunts New Homeowners
A pregnant mother of two in Colorado and her husband are stuck making $1,114 a month payments on a house they can't live in. Shortly after they bought their dream home, they discovered needles in the window well. It turned out their dream house used to be owned by meth heads, and the house was contaminated with meth residue. [More]
Dream Home Is Actually A Meth House
A young couple thought they got a great deal, $190,000 for a two-story house in the historic district of Bristol Borough, PA with a yard and plenty of space. After they moved in, the headaches, sore throats and difficulty breathing started. Three weeks later, one of their new neighbors told them something the seller had neglected to mention: their new home used to be a meth house. [More]
Sonic Manager Arrested For Cooking Meth At Work
Last week, police arrested a shift manager at a Sonic in Cape Girardeau, MO–it's about halfway between St. Louis and Memphis, TN–after they found him with a big pile of meth supplies in the restaurant. According to Slashfood, he'd come back after the place was closed and tripped the burglar alarm. When police showed up at 1:57 AM they found the man in his Sonic uniform "allegedly attempting to whip up a batch of meth." [More]

Attention Counterfeiters: Don't Put Lincoln On The $100 Bill Or You Will Be Arrested, Tasered
37-year-old Mesa, Arizona resident Scott Martin didn't understand why a shop owner wouldn't sell him a watch in exchange for two $100 bills bearing Abraham Lincoln's watermark. The shop owner gently explained that President Lincoln appears on the penny and the $5 bill. This was enough to start a fight that ended with the shop owner tasering Martin.
When fire rescue personnel arrived, they cut off Martin's shirt to treat him, and three more counterfeit $100 bills fell out, the document said.
Free Advice: Don't Deposit Bags Of Meth In The ATM
Here's a little free advice from your friends at The Consumerist: Don't deposit bags of meth at the ATM. You don't get any interest and they're probably going to figure out who are after they see your name and account number.
Sudafed PE: Pregnant Women Should Watch Out For Reformulated Medicines
Not to malign the good name of Sudafed, but it seems there is some debate out there as to whether or not pregnant women should take the reformulated "Sudafed PE." Obviously, we are in no way doctors, nor do we know the first damn thing about pregnant woman, but we do know that several medicines have reformulated in order to stay on the shelves and we wanted to make sure people knew about it. Because Sudafed contains an ingredient used to make meth, some states now require it to be stored behind the pharmacist's counter. Reasonable enough. The confusion comes in when people don't realize that the new "on-the-shelf" Sudafed contains different ingredients than the old Sudafed.
Mythbusting: Does Home Depot Have A Meth-Lab Aisle?
I have no proof of this, but it comes from a reliable source (well, someone I consider reliable).
Burger King: Would You Like Meth With That?
If you need another reason not to eat fast food, here it is: A manager of a California Burger King was caught using the drive-thru to sell methamphetamine. The customer would place their food order (and their drug order) through the drive-thru ordering system and manager Michelle Filby would fill it.

Who We Are
Valhalla Press presents an eclectic mix of literature, non-fiction, and public policy white papers to inform the public discourse. Our sister company Davenport Communications offers training and resources for employers and employees confronting the employment law challenges of the modern workplace.
Our mission is to provide entertaining, thought-provoking e-content to our readers through a variety of e-publications including our Valhalla Press Blog and individual blogs from our contributing authors. We encourage you to follow our blogs and check back often to see what new offerings are available.
Valhalla Press has offices in Washington, DC and Savannah, GA.
Two of our writers have recently posted blog postings concerning their writing careers. John Pistelli looks back at his writing of The Ecstasy of Michaela two years later. Also, Albert Davenport discusses the enduring fascination with the apocalypse and how that influenced his novel Revelation 11.
Each work that an author writes gives readers a snapshot of the author's style and worldview. Unless the reader follows the author's work, that view may harden into an obsolete, distorted vision of his or her work. John Pistelli's post shows how just two years in an author's life can alter his perceptions and writing style. Returning to a writer can afford the reader a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the writer and his work.
The popularity of HBO's The Leftovers set Albert Davenport thinking about human fascination with the apocalypse. His post tells a little about how his musings on the "end of days" provided his upcoming novel, Revelation 11's, essential conflict.
We invite you to enjoy our writers' blogs and their works. The Ecstasy of Michaela is available on the Valhalla Press website and Revelation 11 is currently being marketed by Dean Krystek at the Wordlink Literary Agency. Fans are encouraged to 'Like' the Revelation 11 Facebook page.
Due to the large number of entries in our two contests, the judges are running behind schedule in providing feedback to those who submitted works. For those of you who have not yet received feedback, the judges expect to have them all completed by April 15. We apologize for any inconvenience, but rest assured feedback is coming soon.
The Spring 2013 issue of Ragnarok- the e-lit journal of Valhalla Press is available in Kindle form from our website for $3.99. Even if you don't own a Kindle, you may download the issue to your PC or MAC. The Fall/Winter 2012 issue is now available for .99.
For five days, starting March 14, readers may download a FREE Kindle copy of J. Calvin Pierce's The Door to Ambermere from Amazon. For those who haven't read the first in Pierce's trilogy, this is an opportunity to enjoy a light-hearted fantasy at no cost. If you read the original 20 years ago when this cult classic was first published, you have another chance to travel with Daniel, Hannah, and Marcia through the Door to Ambermere to meet such memorable characters as the bumbling magician, Rogan, and the insatiable King Asbrak the Fat. Oh yes, there is a demon and a beautiful lady involved.
Amazon prime members may borrow a copy of Door to Ambermere free. Amazon limits the number of books members can borrow to one per month.
Complete List of Contest Winners
The judgements have all been rendered and the roll will be called in Valhalla. As stated previously, the winner of the Valhalla Press Flash Fiction/Flash Memoir Writing Contest is Robert Robeson for his story of heroism in Vietnam "Doc Drevo's Disarming Decision". Second prize went to Orla McAlinden for her memoir of growing up in Northern Ireland entitled "Control Zone." Two honorable mention winners from the contest will also have their work appear in Ragnarok-the e-lit journal of Valhalla Press. Jo Haraf's flash fiction piece, "Cherry" tells the story of how an old car leads to a new relationship. Satya Khan's flash memoir, "The Absence", explores postpartum depression.
We had a double winner in the Valhalla Press Legal Professionals Writing Contest. Mark Levine took first prize for his work "Margaret Mead". His story, "The Pain Industry" garnered honorable mention as well. Dominic Carew's legal-dystopian vision (a new genre, perhaps?), "The Documents", took second prize. Joel Burcat won honorable mention kudos for his novel excerpt, "The Executioners". Congratulations to all of our winners.
Ragnarok's Spring 2013 issue will also feature three directly submitted fiction pieces. Joseph Peacock's "Old" looks into an aging man's attempt to redefine himself in his later years. Wendy Robert's "Ouroboros" is set in Belgium shortly after the Nazi's retreated. Finally, Benjamin R. Smith's "Two in the House of Happy Air" explores a future where the arts are illegal.
Flash Fiction and Flash Memoir Contest Winners
Robert Robeson has won First Place in the Flash Fiction and Flash Memoir Contest for his story "Doc Drevo's Disarming Decision," which will appear in the next issue of Ragnarok the e-lit Journal. He won $500 and a Kindle Paperwhite.

You never like to see players get injured, especially in college when players are not receiving a paycheck. During Sunday afternoon's game between No. 2 seed Duke and No. 1 overall seed Louisville, Cardinals player Kevin Ware suffered one of the most devastating and disgusting leg injuries that you have ever seen.
Ware went up to block a shot and when he came down his leg buckled under him and carnage ensued.
If you didn't immediately see the injury, the look on the Louisville players faces said it all. The injury happened right in front of them and all of the players cringed and turned their backs to Ware with a few players even vomiting.
If you want to see a GIF of the injury, you can click here. If you are really brave, watch the video here. But as a very STRONG WARNING, the injury is gruesome and not for those with a weak stomach. There is a reason we refuse to post the GIF directly on the site, and that is so those who watch it make a conscious decision that they are about to witness a terrifying injury.
Here was his teammates reaction:
Ware's injury was the worst that I have ever scene. When he landed, his leg folded in half and his bone was sticking out of his skin. It was awful. Truly devastating and everyone on the Louisville bench was taken back.
There were tears shed, but a game still to be played.
It is instances like this that make us all realize college athletes deserve to be paid.
We wish Ware a full and speedy recovery and our thoughts and prayers go out to the young man who was playing so well.

Aplastic anemia (a-PLAS-tik uh-NEE-me-uh) is a blood disorder in which the body's bone marrow doesn't make enough new blood cells. Bone marrow is a sponge-like tissue inside the bones. It makes stem cells that develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets (PLATE-lets).
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. They also carry carbon dioxide (a waste product) to your lungs to be exhaled. White blood cells help your body fight infections. Platelets are blood cell fragments that stick together to seal small cuts or breaks on blood vessel walls and stop bleeding.
It's normal for blood cells to die. The lifespan of red blood cells is about 120 days. White blood cells live less than a day. Platelets live about 6 days. As a result, your bone marrow must constantly make new blood cells.
If your bone marrow can't make enough new blood cells, many health problems can occur. These problems include irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias (ah-RITH-me-ahs), an enlarged heart, heart failure, infections, and bleeding. Severe aplastic anemia can even cause death.
Aplastic anemia is a type of anemia. The term "anemia" usually refers to a condition in which your blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. Anemia also can occur if your red blood cells don't contain enough hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin). This iron-rich protein helps carry oxygen to your body.
In people who have aplastic anemia, the body doesn't make enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This is because the bone marrow's stem cells are damaged. (Aplastic anemia also is called bone marrow failure.)
Many diseases, conditions, and factors can damage the stem cells. These conditions can be acquired or inherited. "Acquired" means you aren't born with the condition, but you develop it. "Inherited" means your parents passed the gene for the condition to you.
In many people who have aplastic anemia, the cause is unknown
Aplastic anemia is a rare but serious disorder. It can develop suddenly or slowly. The disorder tends to get worse over time, unless its cause is found and treated. Treatments for aplastic anemia include blood transfusions, blood and marrow stem cell transplants, and medicines.
With prompt and proper care, many people who have aplastic anemia can be successfully treated. Blood and marrow stem cell transplants may offer a cure for some people who have aplastic anemia
Red Blood Cells
The most common symptom of a low red blood cell count is fatigue (tiredness). A lack of hemoglobin in the blood causes fatigue. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein in red blood cells. It helps carry oxygen to the body.
A low red blood cell count also can cause shortness of breath; dizziness, especially when standing up; headaches; coldness in your hands or feet; pale skin; and chest pain.
If you don't have enough hemoglobin-carrying red blood cells, your heart has to work harder to move the reduced amount of oxygen in your blood. This can lead to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), a heart murmur, an enlarged heart, or evenheart failure.
White Blood Cells
White blood cells help fight infections. Signs and symptoms of a low white blood cell count include fevers, frequent infections that can be severe, and flu-like illnesses that linger.
Platelets stick together to seal small cuts or breaks on blood vessel walls and stop bleeding. People who have low platelet counts tend to bruise and bleed easily, and the bleeding may be hard to stop.
Common types of bleeding associated with a low platelet count include nosebleeds, bleeding gums, pinpoint red spots on the skin, and blood in the stool. Women also may have heavy menstrual bleeding.
Other Signs and Symptoms
Aplastic anemia can cause signs and symptoms that aren't directly related to low blood cell counts. Examples include nausea (feeling sick to your stomach) and skin rashes.
Blood Transfusions
Blood transfusions can help keep blood cell counts at acceptable levels. A blood transfusion is a common procedure in which blood is given to you through an intravenous (IV) line in one of your blood vessels.
Transfusions require careful matching of donated blood with the recipient's blood.
Blood transfusions help relieve the symptoms of aplastic anemia, but they're not a permanent treatment.
Medicines To Suppress the Immune System
Research suggests that aplastic anemia may sometimes occur because the body's immune system attacks its own cells by mistake. For this reason, your doctor may prescribe medicines to suppress your immune system.
These medicines allow your bone marrow to start making blood cells again. They also may help you avoid the need for blood transfusions.
Medicines that suppress the immune system don't cure aplastic anemia. However, they can relieve its symptoms and reduce complications. These medicines often are used for people who can't have blood and marrow stem cell transplants or who are waiting for transplants.
Three medicines—often given together—can suppress the body's immune system. They are antithymocyte globulin (ATG), cyclosporine, and methylprednisolone.
It may take a few months to notice the effects of these medicines. Most often, as blood cell counts rise, symptoms lessen. Blood cell counts in people who respond well to these medicines usually don't reach normal levels. However, the blood cell counts often are high enough to allow people to do their normal activities.
People who have aplastic anemia may need long-term treatment with these medicines.
Medicines that suppress the immune system can have side effects. They also may increase the risk of developing leukemia (lu-KE-me-ah) or myelodysplasia (MI-e-lo-dis-PLA-ze-ah; MDS). Leukemia is a cancer of the blood cells. MDS is a condition in which the bone marrow makes too many faulty blood cells.
Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplants
A blood and marrow stem cell transplant replaces damaged stem cells with healthy ones from another person (a donor).
During the transplant, which is like a blood transfusion, you get donated stem cells through a tube placed in a vein in your chest. Once the stem cells are in your body, they travel to your bone marrow and begin making new blood cells.
Blood and marrow stem cell transplants may cure aplastic anemia in people who can have this type of treatment. The transplant works best in children and young adults with severe aplastic anemia who are in good health and who have matched donors.
Older people may be less able to handle the treatments needed to prepare the body for the transplant. They're also more likely to have complications after the transplant.
