Another great block set from Haba
We just purchased these. I can't say enough about how adorable they are. When they arrived, both girls (4 and 19 months) played with them (and fought over them)non-stop for several days. The younger one loves stacking them and was very excited to see animals that she recognizes. There are just the right amount of blocks to not overwhelm a toddler. Definitely a high quality toy that will last and it is compatible with all the other Haba blocks.
Great Blocks!
We gave these blocks to my son for his first birthday and we all love them! They are very fun and colorful. He loves to put them in and out of buckets and knock them over when we stack them up. He loves his blocks and so do we!
Adorable blocks, but hard to stack
When we got these blocks, I loved them! The combinations you can make with them are adorable. My 18 mts old son, however, won't play with them. The blocks are very slick, and slide off of each other easily. They also need a hard surface underneath to stay level, we don't have an activity table in our playroom, so when he tries to stack them on the carpet they won't stay. You also need to be eye level to the blocks to appreciate and see the designs. Hopefully once we get a table he can stack them on, he would like them more because they are adorable.
durable and endearing
We got these blocks for our son when he was 10 months old. He is 2 and still loves them and he finds new ways to play with them as he grows. He talks a lot to these blocks because of how wonderful the heads are shaped and their pleasing features. I can't wait to add more to this set.

Our culture has embraced a rather absurd notion that there is just one person who can, in the words immortalized by Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, "complete us." This is a disastrous mindset with which to approach a lifelong marital decision.
The notion of a "soul mate" is actually pretty ancient. Well over two thousand years ago, the Greek philosopher Plato surmised that a perfect human being was tragically split in two, resulting in a race of creatures sentenced to spend the rest of their lives searching for that missing other who can complete them. 1
The real danger in this line of thinking is that many people mistake a storm of emotion as the identifying mark of their soul mate. How else can you identify "destiny"?
Such individuals marry on an infatuation binge without seriously considering character, compatibility, life goals, family desires, spiritual health, and other important concerns. Then when the music fades and the relationship requires work, one or both partners suddenly discover that they were "mistaken": this person must not be their soul mate after all! Otherwise, it wouldn't be so much work. Next they panic. Their soul mate must still be out there!
Such people can't get to divorce court fast enough, lest someone steal their "one true soul mate" meant only for them. When we get married for trivial reasons, we tend to seek divorce for trivial reasons.
In a biblical view, there is not "one right choice" for marriage, but rather good and bad choices. We are encouraged to use wisdom, not destiny, as our guide when choosing a marital partner. There is no indication that God creates "one" person for us to marry. This is because Christians believe that God brings the primary meaning into our lives. Marriage — though wonderful — is still secondary.
Consider, for example, Paul's advice in 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 . He clearly leaves the choice of marriage up to us; there are benefits to singleness, and benefits to being married. If you're unable to handle sexual temptation as a single, Paul says, then by all means, get married.
There is no hint at all of finding "the one person" that God created "just for you." It's far more a pragmatic choice: do you think you'll sin sexually if you don't get married (1 Corinthians 7:2)? Are you acting improperly toward a woman you could marry (1 Corinthians 7:36)? If so, go ahead and get married — it's your choice, and God gives you that freedom.
The reason it is so crucial to adopt the Bible's view of "good and bad choices" over your destiny of finding "the one" is that the former attitude allows you to objectively consider the person you marry. There is no objective measurement of "destiny." Powerful emotions can blind us to all sorts of clues; when we adopt the biblical attitude of making a "wise" choice, we can use all that God has given us to arrive at a solid decision that should be based on a number of factors:
The search for "the one" is often an idolatrous pursuit. As Christians, we must believe that our primary meaning comes from our relationship with God: "Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness..." (Matthew 6:33, NKJV, emphasis added). Thus, a Christian should not consider any marital union that would not feed this primary relationship with God. You'll bring great misery into your life if you ignore this command.
But also — just as importantly — we mustn't enter into a marriage expecting more than another human can give. If my wife looks to me to be God for her — to love her like only God can love her — I'll fail every time and on every count. I'm trying, but I fall short every day. Tragically, I see too many young people wanting to get married in order to find this God-acceptance and God-love. Infatuation can initially feel like it approaches this God-love, but eventually it fades, disillusionment sets in, and the once "fabulous" relationship soon becomes an excruciating prison.
Can I suggest a more biblical pattern? Instead of following Plato in a wild pursuit of our soul mate, we should seek to find a biblical "sole mate." A sole mate is someone who walks with us as together we apply biblical love. The most accurate definition of true love is found in John 15:13 (NASB): "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends."
This love is not based on feelings, but on sacrifice. The Bible calls men to act like martyrs toward their wives, laying down their own lives on their wives' behalf (Ephesians 5:25). Love is not an emotion; it's a policy and a commitment that we choose to keep. Such a love is not based on the worthiness of the person being loved — none of us deserve Christ's sacrifice! — but on the worthiness of the One who calls us to love: "We love because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19).
I can't begin to tell you how many single believers I have spoken to and counseled who are trying to avoid settling, worried that they are settling, think it's "wrong" to settle, etc. Good relationships have gone down the tubes or never gotten off the ground because of this issue. The question for us is whether that approach to dating and marriage gels with the biblical approach to life and love.
It doesn't, for at least three reasons:
The first is that worries about settling reveal a selfishness approach to marriage that misunderstands the Bible's idea of love. "Holding out for true love" as the above quote defines it means demanding a person to whom I am completely attracted in the secular sense, somebody who meets all the qualifications on my "list," and whom I believe is the "best I can do." In the author's mind — and unfortunately in the minds of many single Christians — anything short of finding that perfect match created in one's mind falls short of "true love" and constitutes the sad and unwise act of "settling." Such an approach to love and marriage fundamentally misunderstands the Bible's idea of both.
In the world's version of attraction, I'm a consumer, not a servant. I respond to attributes of yours that I like because of their potential to please me. Again, this is not malicious or evil — it's just not how we're primarily called to treat one another in Scripture. It's not the Bible's idea of love.
Marriage is incredibly fun; it's also incredibly hard. For most people it is the greatest act of ministry and service to another person that they will ever undertake. Husbands are literally called to "give themselves up for" their wives. Wives are called to submit to, respect, and serve their husbands "as to the Lord." Though husbands and wives receive countless blessings from a biblical marriage, the very idea of biblical marriage describes an act — many acts — of love, service, sacrifice, and ministry toward a sinful human being. According to Scripture, marriage is anything but a selfish endeavor. It is a ministry.
What sense does it make to undertake that ministry based primarily on a list of self-centered (and often petty) preferences? If your idea of attraction — whatever that is — dominates your pursuit of a spouse, consider this: Is your approach biblical?
The Bible calls us to reject the world's approach to love and marriage. That may require a pretty radical rethinking of your own approach. If it does, join the club. If you can manage that rethinking (with the Lord's help), it will drain much of the angst from any discussion about "settling."
Another problem with the usual discussion on settling is that it usually reflects two unbiblical beliefs: (1) we can strategize our way around the effects of sin in human relationships and the reality that marriage is hard work, and (2) we can hope to be perfectly, ultimately fulfilled by marriage — or any other earthly relationship.
If you have a biblical understanding of human nature, then you will realize that in one sense, everybody settles — even the people who think they are refusing to. Every person who decides to marry makes the decision to marry a sinner. That means you will marry someone who is at some level selfish, who has insecurities and an ego, who has annoying tendencies that you will only discover after marriage because they will only be revealed in that intimate context. And don't forget, your spouse will have married the same type of person.
As sinners, we all "settle" for marriage to a person who will not always meet our sinful, individualized, selfish whims, who will not be the spouse we "dreamed of" every day, and who likely entered the bargain with some level of expectation that you were going to be the one for them.
Finally, deep worry about settling for less than one desires or deserves in marriage fails two acknowledge two fundamental biblical truths that apply to all areas of the Christian life — not just dating and marriage: (1) as sinners, what we deserve is condemnation from God; and (2) we have been given greater gifts than we could possibly deserve or attain on our own. In other words, compared to what our lives should be before a just and holy God, no believer in Christ ever settles — in marriage or in anything else.
Nobody really "settles" in a biblical marriage because God has designed marriage as a wonderful gift that gets better with age. This is what people worried about settling don't seem to get. They think joy in marriage is all about the original choice one makes about whom to marry, rather than how the nurture and build their marriage. Again, this misses the picture of biblical marriage.
Bottom line, the real danger for God's people in pursuing a spouse is that we will "settle" for the world's vision of self, love, marriage and even romance, rather than a vision of those things steeped in scripture and rooted in the love of Christ. Biblical love and marriage ask more of us than the world's selfish pursuit of non-existent perfection. But the rewards are infinitely richer. "Keep your eyes on the prize"? Sure. Just make sure it's the right one.
When Steve and I started dating, one of my close friends said she was worried that we'd end up getting married. What in the world? I thought. We've only been dating a few days. Marriage? And so what if we do? What would be so bad about that?
"I just don't want to see you settle," she said.
At the time, Steve was still planning to use his degree to go back to his small hometown to be the principal of his dad's church-sponsored school. I guess in her eyes that was beneath me. Me, a soon to be holder of a master's degree.
"You've got so much ambition," she said. "I'd hate to find you, years from now, disappointed in him. A frustrated wife who 'under married.'"
My friend was a believer in the notion that to marry a man without certain traits or ambitions would be settling. And in her mind, settling was bad. No longer just a guideline, not settling was itself a goal. Something worth striving for. As in: Finish that report for work, lose 20 pounds, get a boyfriend, don't settle.
And so we find ourselves in the midst of a massive shift in marriage trends: women waiting longer than ever to marry, all the while holding out for their soul mate -- "the one." When a nice guy asks a woman out, if the sparks of attraction aren't hot from the start, she turns him down, reasoning, "Sure, I want to get married someday, but I'm not about to ... settle."
Have you ever known a man that you've thought about dating, but in the end, ruled him out because to do otherwise would be settling? If you're holding out for perfection, or have a long list of must-haves, it's possible you're overlooking some good men who are already in your life. Knowing what about a potential mate is worth appreciating and what's just eye candy has everything to do with when you should "settle."
Choosing to marry a man -- whomever he is -- inevitably involves compromise (on his part, and yours). That's why it's not truly settling. It's just making a decision. Something we do every time we pick one thing over another. In most areas, it's called being decisive. For some reason, we've made indecision noble when it comes to dating.
What's needed is a new, objective standard for what makes a good match, because, for a Christian woman, there are some non-negotiables for choosing a mate. That's where Gottlieb's advice falls short. Thankfully we have a standard that's completely reliable.
If you're measuring a man against that list, considering his aptitude for growing into full maturity in those areas, then marrying him is praiseworthy. Even if he is shorter than you. Or younger. Or bald. Failing to meet our worldly expectations — our romantic shopping list — is no liability if he meets biblical ones. That's the only list that matters.
And marriage to such a man could hardly be called settling. In another day, it went by the much more pleasant, and desired, description: settling down. When faced with a big decision, my dad used to say, "Honey, you have to settle the issue. Make the best decision you can, in view of the wisdom of Scripture and prayer. Then move forward confidently." Putting the unending list of options to rest is freeing. Once you make a decision, you can stop noodling, debating, and weighing the alternatives, and get on with the rest of your life.
And my friend who said I'd be settling if I married Steve? She was looking at externals, so her ability to rightly judge was skewed. I saw beyond where Steve was at that moment, to the man I knew he could become. And because my faith was based on that biblical list, I knew it was well founded. Thankfully I followed the wisdom of Scripture.
I wasn't disappointed.
How would you describe the man you want to marry? What would he be like as a husband, father, and provider?
If you've had numerous godly male role models in your life -- your father, pastor, boss, family friend, uncle, small group leader -- you may already have a mental picture based on the qualities you appreciate in these men. You may see some of the husbands and fathers in your church and think to yourself that you'd like to marry a man just like them. Those are great aspirations to have!
But first you may need to talk to their wives.
Why? Because these women didn't marry the husbands they have today. Typically, they married less seasoned men. Thanks to the Holy Spirit's refinements over time, as well as the feminine counsel, influence, and encouragement of these wives, their husbands are different some 20-plus years down the line.
Now take a look at the young men you know. Can you see them with eyes of faith? Like trees in springtime with an impressionistic haze of buds, the potential for growth is strongly evident but it's not yet fully realized.
So here's what I want to impart to you: There is a learning curve to a man's leadership as a husband and father. The qualities you can see in a 50-year-old man's life were developed over 50 years. There are 25 more years of growth ahead for the 25-year-old man before it's fair to compare them. While you are called to be discerning about the characters of the men you befriend or court/date, you also have a part in encouraging these men to grow. In fact, that's part of your learning curve as you prepare for being a wife.
God has given women a position of influence, encouragement, and counsel. This happens in varying degrees in all of our relationships. Entire books have been written on this subject, but I will defer to the concise description of a godly woman's example and influence found in 1 Peter 3:1-5 (NIV, emphasis mine):
Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful.

The Lord has given women the opportunity to be holy influencers. Unfortunately, many of us try to influence change through the barrage of our words (read: nagging, whining, manipulating) rather than through the purity and reverence in our attitudes that is built upon a gentle trust in God's ability to change people. Entire books have been written on this subject, but I will leave you with the testimony of a friend of mine.
Jared is in his late 20s and has been in a courtship for a few months. He is intentionally pursuing this relationship with marriage in mind, but he is not yet sure if this is definitely what God has for them. No matter the outcome of this particular relationship, Jared has already noticed the positive influence his girlfriend has upon him.
"When I'm with Bethany, I realize she spurs me on toward Christlikeness," he said. "She is quick to confess sin, doesn't hold a grudge, and engages me in true fellowship — not just entertaining conversations. I don't mind being entertained, but what sticks with me is what she brings up when she talks about God."
Jared has been preparing for marriage over the last few years. He has grown in his career and his ability to provide for a family, he has pursued accountability, he has taken on leadership roles in his church, and he has initiated other courtships. Bethany's example, however, has also inspired another important revelation about their relationship.
Jared has noticed that whenever he begins to feel uncertain about the direction of their relationship, it is directly correlated to the status of his relationship with God. Whenever he has begun to be perfunctory or slipshod about his personal devotions, he also becomes uncertain about the courtship. His relationship with God profoundly affects his relationship with Bethany. But God uses Bethany's example and faith to inspire him to keep going. It is an exchange of grace.
At this writing, neither knows what God has for them in their future. Whether or not they marry, the Lord has used this relationship to spur a brother and a sister toward godliness. By the grace of God, they are each building on the learning curves of servant-leadership and (to coin a phrase) "encourager-followership." It is a solid trajectory for a fruitful future — one that requires of eyes of faith and trust toward God to see.
Is there a predestined man for me or do I just get to choose from the possibilities that come my way?
Is there a "one" for you or is it just a matter of making a good choice among the options that present themselves?
These are all good questions, and I think they are issues that lots of single women ponder. Honestly, I don't know if there's only one for each of us. I think, theoretically, we could make a good life with a variety of husbands — if we're willing to do the work necessary for any good relationship. The only real requirement Scripture gives for a marriage partner is that we be equally yoked. Beyond that, it's mostly common sense and hard work.
Of course you should look for the confirmation of friends and family that the man you've chosen is a good match. And you should be better as a couple than you are apart: emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Finally, since Scripture commands wives to respect their husbands, you should choose a man you admire and are able to respect (even when he doesn't deserve it).
It's tempting to think there's one perfect man — a "soul mate" — for each of us. It's certainly a romantic ideal, but not very practical. And this ideal carries a host of dangers; the most obvious being that if you think you've found "the one," how do you explain the difficult times that arise — and they will — after you say "I do"? Even perfectly matched couples will encounter trials in their relationship. The Bible promises as much.
The answer to the question "Is there just one?" remains a mystery. But you can know for certain that once you are married, whomever you've wed becomes the one. At that point you are committed for life. Period.
Assuming that choosing a mate is about making the most of the opportunities you encounter — or in the manner of olden days, choosing the most eligible man in your village — you then worry that you "will make more bad choices." This fear is why I believe so strongly in the importance of Christian community, including a Bible-believing and teaching church, a group of Christian friends and mentor relationships. Proverbs 13:20 says, "when you walk with the wise, you will be wise." Good advice. Keep seeking wisdom from fellow believers and especially older women (Titus 2:3-5). These are the relationships that can help save you the pain and heartache of "more bad choices."
How do I know whether she's the person I should marry?
Other than her willingness, it's a combination of things — a little bit of art and a little bit of science. By that I mean God will likely use two sources through which to communicate to you about such a decision: your heart and your head.
Your head helps you address the fairly obvious things, like:
These are the kinds of questions a couple might encounter in a pre-engagement class, which are becoming increasingly more popular, and from my view, advisable. I realize that relationship survey questions are about as romantic as, well, a survey, but a little planning can go a long way to helping a lifelong romance. If you're serious enough to be discussing marriage with her, a formal way of addressing these important topics needs to be in the mix.
Now a few thoughts on listening to your "heart." By "heart" I'm not just referring to how you feel about her emotionally. I assume you have strong feelings for her or we wouldn't be having this dialogue. What I mean by "heart" is that intangible "peace" that God gives us when our life or our individual decisions are moving in accordance with His will. Paul describes it as a feeling that "transcends understanding." The more we engage the Scriptures and commune with God, the more sensitive we are to His leadership, often in the form of that inward "peace."
Pray over your relationship. Pray for God's will to be done in her life and in yours, no matter what it is. And pray that you would be sensitive to His voice. He will lead you in the right direction. And if you're going the wrong direction, he will let you know. Don't ignore the red flags (or even yellow flags) that He may place in your way.
As for my own experience, I don't recall wondering whether my wife-to-be was the person I should marry; all I knew is that I wanted her to be! I was crazy about her. The more I got to know her, the more painful it was to be apart from her. It wasn't long into our relationship that I realized how difficult it would be to picture my life without her. To put it simply, when we were together, peace. When we were apart, no peace. Fortunately — and this is key — she agreed, and the rest is, well, you know.

I was wondering how good are the full metal jacket arrows for deer hunting? I have heard carbon is good alloy is good. But which one is the best or is their a best?
Yeah pick your poison. Carbon are durable and dont bend on you. Though will break.

I have one friend that swears by them and another that swears at them. Since they have a alloy outer shell if you bend them they don't always go back straight according to some. That is where the carbons have a advantage.
As tough as carbons are I think that is what I will stick with.

You get the higher level of consistent straightness and weight of alloy, along with the durability of carbon in one excellent quality arrow.....but.....for me, I just can't get myself to spend that much on an arrow, and more so, they are too heavy for my set-up perferences.

I think it's funny in a way that not so many years ago I got blasted by a lot of guys for buying ACC's. Guys told me that they were too expensive. Today these same guys are paying more for their Carbon Express arrows, when IMO the ACC is still a better arrow

Alessandro Ballan suffered a broken leg, a broken rib and an injured spleen Thursday when he crashed on the penultimate day of the BMC Racing Team's training camp in Spain. The injuries require at least two separate surgeries – the first of which was taking place Thursday night, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Max Testa said.
Spleen Will Be Removed
Ballan was descending the Coll de Rates climb near Parcent toward the end of a four-hour training ride when the high-speed accident occurred. After being taken to a local hospital by BMC Racing Team Dr. Dario Spinelli, Ballan was diagnosed with a mid-shaft, displaced fracture of his left femur, a fracture of his ninth rib and some abdominal trauma. "The broken rib actually made a small puncture in his lung," Dr. Testa said. "The first priority is the spleen injury – that is considered a medical emergency." Ballan was undergoing surgery to remove his spleen Thursday night and a decision on when and where his broken leg can be operated on will come at a later time, Dr. Testa said.
Lelangue: 'His Loss Means A Lot'
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue visited Ballan at the hospital and said the team's first priority is making sure the 2008 world road champion can rest and recover properly. Ballan had been scheduled to compete in the season-opening race, the Santos Tour Down Under, in Australia next month. "Of course his loss means a lot since Alessandro is one of our key riders for the classics," Lelangue said. "But most important right now is that he can recover and just get back to his normal process. We'll wait for all the medical information before even beginning to think about what could be his plan for coming back." Ballan won two races in 2012: the final stage of the Eneco Tour of Benelux and the one-day Giro della Toscana. He was the team's best finisher at Paris-Roubaix (third), the Tour of Flanders (third), Strade Bianche (fourth) and Milan-San Remo (eighth). He also helped the BMC Racing Team earn a silver medal in the team time trial at the UCI road world championships.

What are porphyrias?
Porphyrias are rare disorders that affect mainly the skin or nervous system and may cause abdominal pain. These disorders are usually inherited, meaning they are caused by abnormalities in genes passed from parents to children. When a person has a porphyria, cells fail to change body chemicals called porphyrins and porphyrin precursors into heme, the substance that gives blood its red color. The body makes heme mainly in the bone marrow and liver. Bone marrow is the soft, spongelike tissue inside the bones; it makes stem cells that develop into one of the three types of blood cells—red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
The process of making heme is called the heme biosynthetic pathway. One of eight enzymes controls each step of the process. The body has a problem making heme if any one of the enzymes is at a low level, also called a deficiency. Porphyrins and porphyrin precursors of heme then build up in the body and cause illness.
What is heme and what does it do?
Heme is a red pigment composed of iron linked to a chemical called protoporphyrin. Heme has important functions in the body. The largest amounts of heme are in the form of hemoglobin, found in red blood cells and bone marrow. Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. In the liver, heme is a component of proteins that break down hormones, medications, and other chemicals and keep liver cells functioning normally. Heme is an important part of nearly every cell in the body.
What are the types of porphyria?
Each of the eight types of porphyria corresponds to low levels of a specific enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Experts often classify porphyrias as acute or cutaneous based on the symptoms a person experiences:
- Acute porphyrias affect the nervous system. They occur rapidly and last only a short time.
- Cutaneous porphyrias affect the skin.
Two types of acute porphyrias, hereditary coproporphyria and variegate porphyria, can also have cutaneous symptoms.
Experts also classify porphyrias as erythropoietic or hepatic:
- In erythropoietic porphyrias, the body overproduces porphyrins, mainly in the bone marrow.
- In hepatic porphyrias, the body overproduces porphyrins and porphyrin precursors, mainly in the liver.
Table 1 lists each type of porphyria, the deficient enzyme responsible for the disorder, and the main location of porphyrin buildup.

*Protoporphyria XLPP is a variant of erythropoietic protoporphyria.
How common is porphyria?
The exact rates of porphyria are unknown and vary around the world. For example, porphyria cutanea tarda is most common in the United States, and variegate porphyria is most common in South America.1
What causes porphyria?
Most porphyrias are inherited disorders. Scientists have identified genes for all eight enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Most porphyrias result from inheriting an abnormal gene, also called a gene mutation, from one parent. Some porphyrias, such as congenital erythropoietic porphyria, hepatoerythropoietic porphyria, and erythropoietic protoporphyria, occur when a person inherits two abnormal genes, one from each parent. The likeliness of a person passing the abnormal gene or genes to the next generation depends on the type of porphyria.
Porphyria cutanea tarda is usually an acquired disorder, meaning factors other than genes cause the enzyme deficiency. This type of porphyria can be triggered by
- too much iron
- use of alcohol or estrogen
- smoking
- chronic hepatitis C—a long-lasting liver disease that causes inflammation, or swelling, of the liver
- HIV—the virus that causes AIDS
- abnormal genes associated with hemochromatosis—the most common form of iron overload disease, which causes the body to absorb too much iron
For all types of porphyria, symptoms can be triggered by
- use of alcohol
- smoking
- use of certain medications or hormones
- exposure to sunlight
- stress
- dieting and fasting
What are the symptoms of porphyria?
Some people with porphyria-causing gene mutations have latent porphyria, meaning they have no symptoms of the disorder. Symptoms of cutaneous porphyrias include
- oversensitivity to sunlight
- blisters on exposed areas of the skin
- itching and swelling on exposed areas of the skin
Symptoms of acute porphyrias include
- pain in the abdomen—the area between the chest and hips
- pain in the chest, limbs, or back
- nausea and vomiting
- constipation—a condition in which an adult has fewer than three bowel movements a week or a child has fewer than two bowel movements a week, depending on the person
- urinary retention—the inability to empty the bladder completely
- confusion
- hallucinations
- seizures and muscle weakness
Symptoms of acute porphyrias can develop over hours or days and last for days or weeks. These symptoms can come and go over time, while symptoms of cutaneous porphyrias tend to be more continuous. Porphyria symptoms can vary widely in severity.
How is porphyria diagnosed?
A health care provider diagnoses porphyria with blood, urine, and stool tests. These tests take place at a health care provider's office or a commercial facility. A blood test involves drawing blood and sending the sample to a lab for analysis. For urine and stool tests, the patient collects a sample of urine or stool in a special container. A health care provider tests the samples in the office or sends them to a lab for analysis. High levels of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors in blood, urine, or stool indicate porphyria. A health care provider may also recommend DNA testing of a blood sample to look for known gene mutations that cause porphyrias.
How is porphyria treated?
Treatment for porphyria depends on the type of porphyria the person has and the severity of the symptoms.
Acute Porphyrias
A health care provider treats acute porphyrias with heme or glucose loading to decrease the liver's production of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors. A patient receives heme intravenously once a day for 4 days. Glucose loading involves giving a patient a glucose solution by mouth or intravenously. Heme is usually more effective and is the treatment of choice unless symptoms are mild. In rare instances, if symptoms are severe, a health care provider will recommend liver transplantation to treat acute porphyria. In liver transplantation, a surgeon removes a diseased or an injured liver and replaces it with a healthy, whole liver or a segment of a liver from another person, called a donor. A patient has liver transplantation surgery in a hospital under general anesthesia. Liver transplantation can cure liver failure. Read more in Liver Transplantation at www.digestive.niddk.nih.gov.
Cutaneous Porphyrias
The most important step a person can take to treat a cutaneous porphyria is to avoid sunlight as much as possible. Other cutaneous porphyrias are treated as follows:
- Porphyria cutanea tarda. A health care provider treats porphyria cutanea tarda by removing factors that tend to activate the disease and by performing repeated therapeutic phlebotomies to reduce iron in the liver. Therapeutic phlebotomy is the removal of about a pint of blood from a vein in the arm. A technician performs the procedure at a blood donation center, such as a hospital, clinic, or bloodmobile. A patient does not require anesthesia. Another treatment approach is low-dose hydroxychloroquine tablets to reduce porphyrins in the liver.
- Erythropoietic protoporphyria. People with erythropoietic protoporphyria may be given beta-carotene or cysteine to improve sunlight tolerance, though these medications do not lower porphyrin levels. Experts recommend hepatitis A and B vaccines and avoiding alcohol to prevent protoporphyric liver failure. A health care provider may use liver transplantation or a combination of medications to treat people who develop liver failure. Unfortunately, liver transplantation does not correct the primary defect, which is the continuous overproduction of protoporphyria by bone marrow. Successful bone marrow transplantations may successfully cure erythropoietic protoporphyria. A health care provider only considers bone marrow transplantation if the disease is severe and leading to secondary liver disease.
- Congenital erythropoietic porphyria and hepatoerythropoietic porphyria. People with congenital erythropoietic porphyria or hepatoerythropoietic porphyria may need surgery to remove the spleen or blood transfusions to treat anemia. A surgeon removes the spleen in a hospital, and a patient receives general anesthesia. With a blood transfusion, a patient receives blood through an intravenous (IV) line inserted into a vein. A technician performs the procedure at a blood donation center, and a patient does not need anesthesia.
Secondary Porphyrinurias
Conditions called secondary porphyrinurias, such as disorders of the liver and bone marrow, as well as a number of drugs, chemicals, and toxins are often mistaken for porphyria because they lead to mild or moderate increases in porphyrin levels in the urine. Only high—not mild or moderate—levels of porphyrin or porphyrin precursors lead to a diagnosis of porphyria.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
People with an acute porphyria should eat a diet with an average-to-high level of carbohydrates. The recommended dietary allowance for carbohydrates is 130 g per day for adults and children 1 year of age or older; pregnant and breastfeeding women need higher intakes.2 People should avoid limiting intake of carbohydrates and calories, even for short periods of time, as this type of dieting or fasting can trigger symptoms. People with an acute porphyria who want to lose weight should talk with their health care providers about diets they can follow to lose weight gradually.
People undergoing therapeutic phlebotomies should drink plenty of milk, water, or juice before and after each procedure.
A health care provider may recommend vitamin and mineral supplements for people with a cutaneous porphyria.

Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com boldly tweeted that in 3 years the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens will regret New England Patriots Jersey sale their respective deals for Matt Forte and Ray Rice.
The Bears inked Forte to a four-year, $32 million contract Leigh Bodden Jersey whereas the Ravens signed Ray Rice to a five-year, $40 million deal.
Even though Prisco obtained lots of backlash Custom Jets Jerseys from Bears and Ravens supporters, hes quite possibly perfect. And honestly, thats okay.
Its unrealistic to assume the Ravens ravens jerseys for kids will get solid productivity out of Rice for the following five years. Theres a reason they moved up New York Jets Chad Pennington Jerseys on sale while in the draft to snag Bernard Pierce within the third round. The daily life of the top-tier Baltimore Ravens Jerseys NFL working back is quick and thats why I would are fine with tagging Rice for two seasons Torrey Smith Jersey and saying beneficial bye.
Thats to not say that I disagree with this deal. The beauty of NFL contracts pittsburgh steelers jerseys for kids is the fact that when they dont operate out, the team cuts their loses and moves on. Rice Aaron Smith Jersey isnt guaranteed five years of security with Baltimore and the two he along with the Ravens know that.

Couple staying put for now as work to remove tree from their house begins
George and Blanche Glover heard a loud boom Saturday night at their Stratford Place home and immediately knew a tree had hit their house. What the couple didn't know was how massive the damage was to the place they've called home for 28 years.
A large oak tree fell onto their house Saturday around 8:45 p.m., nearly splitting the house in two.
George said they knew it was a tree because it made the same sound when a tree fell onto the home of their neighbors, Michelle and Robert Spieler.
George attributes both incidents to the massive amounts of rain and wind that hit the area.
"It was raining that day the tree fell at the neighbor's," George said.
A friend called and asked the fire department to go to the house. Fire officials wanted to cut the power to the home, but George refused. George, who is a retired electrical engineer, went to the fuse box and flipped the switch himself. The couple still have power, but they had to have the cable line reconnected.
After the tree fell, Blanche stayed with a friend. "I was shaking so much," Blanche said. "I'm OK now."
George never left the house. The Glovers have decided to stay put for now despite a large tree in the middle of the home.
"The structure of the house is pretty solid," George said.
Blanche said she didn't sleep much the night the tree came down, but she was able to get a good night's sleep Sunday night.
About 30 minutes before the tree fell, Blanche had gone into the bedroom to get ready for bed. She had brushed her teeth and went into the den. George was in the office where he'd just turned the computer off so he could join Blanche in the den. A large portion of the tree ended up in the office, and more of it was across the hallway, into a guest bedroom and out the front door.
When the tree fell, Robert Spieler came to check on them. He contacted a tree service company and the contractor who worked on his house. The tree service workers went to the Glovers' house the night the tree fell and helped place a tarp over the roof. A little bit of rain got into the house, but the couple placed a trash can underneath the ceiling to catch the droplets.
A-1 Tree Service and the contractor, Sells & Sons Construction, returned to the home Monday to further assess the damage and figure out the best way to remove the tree.
Some of the branches have been trimmed in the front of the home, but the large trunk still rests on the house. The tree also damaged part of the back deck. Once inside, the kitchen, den and bedrooms look pristine. But walk a little farther inside toward the middle and things get a little messy. The insulation and other debris spill out into the hallway just outside the office. The rafters and wood are exposed along with a little light from outside showing through the office.
The Glovers were told it could take three months or more to repair the home.
Blanche doesn't believe she'll stick around while the repairs are being made, but George isn't going anywhere if he can help it.
George said the contractor indicated he'll be able to seal off parts of the house and work on one room at a time.
The couple moved to the home years ago because they liked the open floor plan and the trees, Blanche said.
Despite the tree falling into her home, "This hasn't changed my opinion," she said about what they've always liked about the property.
She said she would consider cutting down a few of the trees that are closer to the house.
Even with various storms in the past, including Hurricane Hugo in the 1980s, the Glovers have never had a tree fall on the house. During the hurricane, they had limbs fall in the yard, but none ever touched the house.
The couple called their children on Sunday to tell them about the tree falling, and that they were all right.
George joked that his wife wanted to redo the carpet in the den, and now she'll get her wish.
"I didn't want to do it this way," he said.

Love this little cami so much I've even worn it out with a little sweater or jacket over it. No one would ever guess that it doubles as sleepwear! Would love to see this top made in more colors, it is so flattering and that is a difficult thing to find post pregnancy.
Having nursed my first child past age 2 and now nursing my second baby, I really have tried every nursing tank top/cami I could find. This includes other Leading Lady Nursing Camis, Glamormom, Japanese Weekend, Top Secret. This is my favorite! I like the dual sling(this type of opening, rather than the side-breast, one-sided sling). I love the way the straps are done. I tried both the XL and 2X and both fit my very full bust very well and offer enough support, ease of access for baby and look great. I would purchase this exact cut/length/style in a variety of colors and get rid of all of my Glamourmom tanks, for sure! The other Leading Lady camis I have are too short and not as cute and have the same side-boob single sling and don't offer as much support or as nice of a shape and they are far too short, even though I'm only 5'1". Please make this style in more colors because I LOVE it. I also like the Polka Dot one with the stripes for all of the same reasons. Style of opening, length and cut. Also, on both of these, particularly the striped one, the straps REALLY stay put. More colors, pleeeeeaaaase!
This cami is great for nursing! It is very comfortable and has great support on top. The sling inside gives great support as well. Love how this tank fits on top as well as the bottom. It is not restrictive at the bottom which makes it flattering.
No questions asked yet, be the first!

Klaas Lodewyck's attack in the final 21 kilometers of Wednesday's stage of the Tour de Suisse earned the BMC Racing Team rider the day's most aggressive rider prize on the way to a season-best seventh place finish.
Frank Still Best Swiss
Lodewyck said he was feeling strong before the start of the 192.7 kilometer race that was run nearly entirely in the rain for the fourth straight day. Fewer than 10 kilometers in, he and six others escaped the field and built an insurmountable lead as they reached the 41 km finishing circuit. "I knew it was a good day to try to go for the victory," he said. "The two times we went over the climb, I felt really strong and was thinking if I attacked, I could hold it to the top. But then they attacked from behind and caught me. Mentally, I was broken and it was over for me." More than 11 minutes after Vladimir Isaychev (Katusha Team) won the stage, Mathias Frank and the rest of the BMC Racing Team rolled in with the peloton, as Frank preserved his eight-second lead in the "Best Swiss Rider" competition. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe said Thursday's 198.5 km stage will likely be a lot like Wednesday's race. "Whether it's a breakaway or a sprint will depend on which teams decide to control it," he said.

Connect With UC
"Ursinus," says Nobel Laureate and graduate Gerald Edelman, "has all the excellent qualities of a small college with high academic standards." One of every ten Ursinus graduates is a physician. Their success, as well as Dr. Edelman's Nobel Prize in Medicine, confirms our belief that the best way to prepare to enter a health profession — whether students intend to become an allopathic or osteopathic physician, a veterinarian, a dentist, an optometrist, or a member of the allied health professions — is through a liberal arts curriculum with outstanding strength in the sciences. At Ursinus, students work directly with professors in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, molecular biology, neuroscience, and physics to develop the analytic and laboratory skills top schools require. Philadelphia is known worldwide for the number and quality of its schools, its hospitals, and its bio-technology and pharmaceutical industries. Ursinus is only 25 miles from Philadelphia, close to hospitals, health care facilities, biotech firms, and major pharmaceutical companies. All science majors are able to gain hands-on experience by completing internships and volunteer service at medical centers, hospitals, dental and veterinary clinics, private practices, and science-related businesses. Ursinus students benefit from the experience of a health professions adviser, a health professions advising committee, as well as individual advisers in the sciences and humanities. Advisers help students plan the strongest possible program for medical school admission. The Ursinus environment values independence and responsibility. For all these reasons, Ursinus remains one of the best places in the country to begin an apprenticeship in the art of healing.
A representative from Salus University will discuss their many programs, including optometry, audiology, physician assistant, occupational therapy, and public health.
Medical schools at which recent Ursinus graduates have been accepted include Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Penn State, Jefferson, and Temple, among many others.
Acceptance rates vary from year to year, but on average three-quarters of Ursinus students applying to medical school receive acceptances.

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — A new version of the "Angry Birds" game is set in the "Star Wars" universe and features the movies' heroes and villains, the game's Finnish developer says.
Game company Rovio said the new game for iOS, Android and computers will see the birds square off against the pigs in the familiar "Star Wars" galaxy, CNET reported Monday.
In "Angry Birds Star Wars," the title birds will assume the personalities of intrepid "Star Wars" heroes such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo while the evil piggies have gone over to the dark side, taking on the roles of Darth Vader and other galactic villains.
Rovio and Lucasfilm are partnering on the project.
"You will see a pig-esque Vader and pig-esque stormtroopers," Lucasfilm marketing Vice President Paul Southern told USA Today.
Luke Skywalker's home world, Tatooine, and the ice planet, Hoth, will be featured in the game.
U.S. toy giant Hasbro says it made a deal with LucasFilm to manufacture and sell products based on the "Star Wars" edition of "Angry Birds."
The new product line from Hasbro will start rolling out next month.
"We've developed a selection of innovative toys and games featuring 'Angry Birds Star Wars' that delivers new ways to play for fans of these two great franchises," John Frascotti, chief marketing officer for Hasbro, said in a statement Monday.
"We're proud of our heritage of delivering 'Star Wars' toys that have entertained generations of kids and we're excited to offer fans of both 'Star Wars' and 'Angry Birds' the opportunity to experience their favorite characters and icons in exhilarating new ways."

it should be ok to hunt with,

Maxima's tipped w/ RAGE broadheads (some w/ PINK fletching)
you wont get helical fletch through it without ripping the feathers up. straight/ slightly offset fletch with tunable knock is probably your only fletching option. it does have a lot of rubber dampening material on the surfaces. you should also cut the loading gate off of it , it will just be in the way .

They are decent, but is suggest upgrading when you can afford to
Helped my friend set up his ridge hunter which came with this rest. He had trouble with fletching clearance, and ended up with standard fletching vs. Blazer vanes. It works fine, but makes a little noise on the draw.

TYLER BAZE, GOTTA HAVE HER, Winner: "I got shut off really bad right out of the gate and after that I just had to go out there and ride the rest of the race with confidence. I know she's going to give me what she has…whatever's in her tank, she's always going to give it. She always has and she always will. I followed (Rafael) Bejarano's horse (U R All That I Am) the whole way really until the middle of the turn when I kind of pushed her out of the way. She's a very special mare for me and I'm looking forward to bigger and better things with her. She got a lot out of her last race. It's asking a lot to go from 6 1-2 furlongs to a mile and an eighth against Tuscan Evening. We're ready for a rematch. Bring her on."
JENINE SAHADI, GOTTA HAVE HER, Winner: "She needs an ideal setup to go a mile and one-eighth (The Gamely) to be honest. Her last race was a little bit my fault; bad weather and not much out of the first race. Today was crunch time. I felt good, I didn't have any issues going into today. Not physical issues, it's just that it was hard to train this winter. She was really tired out of the last race and you just wonder sometimes if you turn them out whether they're going to come back the same. I'm very happy with her race today. We're going to Del Mar and most likely run in the ($250,000 John C.) Mabee (on Aug. 15). She ran second in the race last year and likes that turf course. The plan is the Mabee and then possibly the Palomar.''

Yesterday: Salisbury firemen, ladder truck from the 1940s
Todd Stiller provided this photograph, which he believes came from the Salisbury Post sometime in the 1940s. The Salisbury firemen and city officials appear to be collected around a ladder truck. 'The truck may be a 1942 American LaFrance aerial ladder truck,' Stiller says. 'The fire chief to the far right in front is Charles Burkett.' Stiller also knows that the man in the upper left corner of the photograph on top of the truck is his grandfather, Carl Sells. 'He was a United States Marine Corps drill instructor and served in the Pacific Theater in World War II,' Stiller says. 'The firefighter job came after he was discharged from the war.' Two other men identified in the top row with Sells are Ben Wood (center) and Ray Shaver. Todd Stiller's son, Casey Stiller, is a junior firefighter and intern with Locke Fire Department. Casey recently was interviewed as part of a story on the shortage of volunteer firefighters. In that story, Casey didn't realize Sells, his great-grandfather, had been a fireman before him. 'Casey inadvertently left out part of his family history that he didn't know from three generations ago,' Todd Stiler says, 'but he was right about one thing: We are very proud of him and his career choice.'

Chemotherapy has many side effects. One in particular,anemia, can reduce the bone marrow's ability to make red blood cells. These red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. When there are too few red blood cells, body tissues do not get enough oxygen to do their work. This can often make you feel tired and sluggish. Fortunately there are treatments to help you get back on your feet.
Anemia is more than fatigue alone. Here are some other symptoms you may experience:
- Dizziness or feeling faint
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling as if your heart is pounding or beating very fast
Make sure your doctor knows about your symptoms. The sooner your doctor is aware the sooner treatment can begin.
Treatment Options
Your doctor will check your blood cell count often during your treatment. If your red count falls too low, you may need a blood transfusion. This donated blood will give your body the extra red blood cells it needs.
You may also have treatment with a medication called erythropoietis-stimulating agents (ESAs) that can boost the growth of your red blood cells. It is delivered over a series of injections. This treatment is only used under strict circumstances in people with anemia caused by chemotherapy.
Tips for Coping
When you feel fatigued, there are other steps you can take. The following will help you cope with anemia related to chemotherapy:
- Get plenty of rest. Sleep more at night and take naps during the day if you can.
- Limit your activities. Do only the things that are essential or most important to you.
- Ask for help when you need it. Ask family and friends to help with things like child care, shopping, housework, and driving.
- Eat a well-balanced diet and be sure to drink plenty of fluids every day.
- When sitting, get up slowly. When lying down, sit first and then stand. This will help prevent dizziness.
You may consider starting or modifying an exercise routine. Although anemia is a common side effect of chemotherapy, it is something that can be managed. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and find out what will work best for you.
