You´re talking about how "hard" it is to grow up in norway and "the war"? Come on. Norway is one of the richest countries in the world. It is a privilege to grow up there. Higher education is free. There is no such thing as having to choose a "sensible" career (instead of something creative) in Norway in fear of not having a finically stable future. In very very few other countries would one have a better opportunity to actually go and study or do whatever one would want creatively and still have a lifestyle and quality of life very few people in other countries would be able to compare to. You don´t even know the meaning of "struggle" or what it means to work hard for what you have.

Check out this hilarious Smurf interview Via HHNLive, which I have no clue as to why they deemed him relevant enough for an interview:
"We get a little too wrapped up with ring tone rapper. What does that really mean? If somebody was to tell me two years ago I was going to sell 3 million ring tones and pretty much generate $8 million dollars and say "Nah I don't want to sell 3 million ring tones". I don't get it when all these people have negative things to say about ring tones. We do hear a lot of records that come and go we hear artists that come and go. There are artists that might come out one year and stay away for 3, 4 years and come back. I don't think any artist, especially in this game right now is turning away a pay check. I'm happy with the fact I sold a lot of ring tones."
Let's briefly define a Ringtone Rapper (N): A rapper-- often a one-hit wonder-- who sells more ringtones than albums. Most of these rappers are from the South and sell triple, quadruple-- or even more than that-- of one song via mobile downloads than the number of actual albums off of shelves. (For instance, MIMS sold a total of 100,000 hard copy units after an entire year, but sold 3 million ringtones in less than a year. Lmao). The list goes as follows: Soulja Boy, Fat Joe, D4L, Flo Rida, and so on and so on.
Fat Joe is not a New York rapper, FYI.
Why do people have negative things to say about ringtones? Because the rappers that make them are NOT real rappers.
I could give a two f*cks about MIMS, but this interview sure is a good read, because HHNLive only highlighted the "ringtone rapper" segment of the interview before releasing the transcription in its entirety, a move they clearly made out of kicks. I mean, what else could they have talked about? He doesn't have-- and has never had-- a career. He was here last year, but like most corny rappers, he's gone today. HHNLive is a good source of info, but why were talking to this clown?
Notice how Smurf said he "generated $8 million" and not that he "made $8 million." He has no money in his pockets, is what he's saying. The only money rappers make is show money, and it's kind of hard to do a lineup of shows when you only have one song.
Stop frontin, stop lying. Rappers come out one year and stay away for three and four years (like he will) because they're too broke to withstand the financial demands of the record labels. It's called debt. Labels eat up every dollar and cent generated from ringtone sales, which is why labels push ringtone rappers so hard; these days, ringtones are the biggest source of cash-ins for them. Rappers never see those numbers, as labels often keep, embezzle, or "withhold" the leftover money for themselves, even when or if debt is paid off.
I guarantee this interview will be the last appearance from this cornball for a while. Unless he comes out with a dis record.

Football's back for H.W. Byers; Byhalia takes 12-0 win in opener
By CLAUDE VINSON
After over three decades, football returned to the H.W. Byers athletic program Thursday, Sept. 4. Excitement was thick when the teams took the field. By the size of the crowd in attendance at Byhalia, one would think the game was between a pair of varsity teams.
The Indians took the ball first with Markeise Rodgers calling signals for the junior Indians. His first two plays were handoffs to Devonte Norman. After a couple of painful penalties, the Indians advanced to the Lions' 22. Rodgers faked to the setback and took off around right end, being convoyed by Norman and Andrey Collins. He wasn't stopped until he had crossed the goal-line. They tried a two-point conversion with Damien Rayford as the carrier. He was pulled down just short of the goal line. The experienced Indians had struck first with a 6-0 lead.
Christopher Echols was under center for the junior Lions and he called an end-around with Javis Spencer getting the ball. There wasn't much there and the Lions went out with very little advance. The quarter ended before the Lions had another possession.
The Lions had been unsure and timid during the first period, which is normal since this was their very first game situation against an outside opponent. But their fefense picked up their game and started to exert pressure on the Indian offense. Byhalia was using short bursts up center and off tackle to keep possession and run the clock. They controlled the ball until intermission and still had a 6-0 lead.
Opening the third quarter, Echols took to the airways and used a flare to get within 3 yards of a first down. But the offense had to give the ball up on the fourth.
The Indians wasted no time in gaining a pair of first downs, but the Lions' defense was getting more and more aggressive. They caused and covered a fumble which afforded them good field position at their own 48. The offense was still trying to find the right combinations and had to give up the pigskin.
The Indians were still using Norman and Collins as their main vehicles and moved the chains twice. The Lions' defenders were starting to read plays and were striking hard at the core of the Indians' offense. They had set the Indians back a couple of times when, trying to make up loss yardage, Rodgers passed right into the hands of a waiting Lion.
The Lions were trying desperately to score. They gambled on a fourth and 3 and didn't make it.
The Indians had been held scoreless by the Lions for two and a half quarters. They were looking to add one more TD. Collins took a flare from Norman, eluded one would-be tackler and tried a dive into the end zone; however, his knees hit the turf before the ball broke the plane. They were hit with three consecutive penalties before Norman took it in. They still could not convert the PAT, but were out front 12-0.
The Lions had less than a minute in which to try and avoid the shutout. They moved the ball but had to get reckless which ended in and interception.
Head coach James Kimbrough was pleased with his team's first-ever performance – "We showed up pretty well against a bigger, stronger and experienced team. We are going to keeping hitting and grinding until we gain the experience we need."
The junior high Indians are led by head coach C.B. McClatchy.

text: Medical Dispatch February 7, 2011 Issue The Peanut Puzzle Could the conventional wisdom on children and allergies be wrong? By Jerome Groopman Table of Contents Food allergy is likely a problem that we've created through our diet and environment. Credit >RICHARD MCGUIRE Jill Mindlin prides herself on being a good parent. An attorney who lives on the North Shore of Long Island, she read books about how to raise healthy and happy children and dutifully followed their advice. She bought the car seat with the highest safety rating and covered her son and daughter with sunblock whenever they went outside. With her pediatrician's approval, she breast-fed her children until they were at least a year old and gave them "no formula whatsoever" and no milk products or peanuts. As the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended in 2000, she introduced solid foods slowly and in small amounts. In 2002, when her daughter, Maya Konoff, was nine months old, Mindlin took Maya for a checkup, and she got several immunizations. After they came home, Mindlin gave her a little yogurt. Soon, Mindlin told me, "Maya blew up like a tomato, bright red, swelling from head to toe." She called the office, assuming that her daughter was reacting to the immunizations. The pediatrician told her that it was more likely an allergy of some kind. "Fortunately, there was liquid Benadryl in the house, and I was able to get Maya to take some," Mindlin said. The reaction slowly subsided. Several days later, Mindlin took Maya to see a pediatric allergist at a hospital on Long Island, and he told her it was unlikely that her daughter had a dairy allergy, since she had been breast-fed and was on a restricted diet. But Mindlin asked that Maya be examined, and the allergist placed a small amount of milk protein under the baby's skin. Within minutes, she broke out in hives. As it turned out, Maya was also allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame seeds. Despite her mother's vigilance, Maya has had other frightening reactions. On a family outing to the Long Island Children's Museum a few months later, after eating something labelled "vegetarian cheese," Maya struggled to breathe and then lost consciousness. On vacation in South Carolina in 2003, Maya wanted a hot dog. "We asked the waiter to be sure that there were no dairy products in the food," Mindlin recalled. "He came back to the table and said that the package said a hundred per cent beef." But a few minutes after eating the hot dog Maya began vomiting and swelling. Mindlin later learned that the hot dog contained a milk protein. This time, the doctor in the E.R. gave Maya an epinephrine injection. Epinephrine, another term for adrenaline, can rapidly shut off a severe allergic reaction, and Mindlin now makes sure there are syringes of it in each of her handbags and in Maya's knapsack. Dr. Hugh Sampson, the director of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York and an international expert on food allergy, is Maya's doctor. He is a tall sixty-year-old with an athletic build and a full head of graying hair. Sampson and Dr. Scott Sicherer, a pediatric allergist who is also at Mount Sinai, have conducted extensive studies throughout the United States that show that the rate of allergy is rising sharply. Sampson estimates that three to five per cent of the population is allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, or seafood. In the past decade, allergies to peanuts have doubled. Other researchers have found the same phenomenon in Great Britain. "This increase in the incidence of food allergy is real," Sampson said when we spoke recently. He cannot say what is causing the increase, but he now thinks the conventional approach to preventing food allergies is misconceived. For most of his career, he believed, like most allergists, that children are far less likely to become allergic to problematic foods if they are not exposed to them as infants. But now Sampson and other specialists believe that early exposure may actually help prevent food allergies. Sampson recalls that, in 1980, when he started researching the subject, as a fellow in immunology at Duke University, "food allergy was not a field that anybody wanted to get into." Many doctors said that patients who claimed that food allergies were causing stomach aches and rashes were often just manifesting psychosomatic symptoms. "I approached the subject with the assumption that I would prove it didn't exist," Sampson said. In one early test, he gave a girl in the first grade a bit of egg camouflaged in applesauce. To Sampson's astonishment, she started wheezing and projectile vomiting. Five years later, he found that his one-year-old daughter was allergic to eggs. As Sampson got deeper into his work, he was struck by how little was known about the condition. No one knew why some children react to a food protein when it is placed on their skin but not when they eat it, or why others have antibodies in their blood that predict allergic reactions they don't end up having. Sampson watched as the incidence of food allergies rose alarmingly in the West while cases remained rare in Africa and Asia. He and other researchers began to investigate whether the problem could be prevented if Western mothers continued breast-feeding as long as possible. This would keep their babies away from potentially allergenic foods until their immune systems had developed sufficiently. Laboratory studies reinforced the theory. Sampson's research group and others found that mice that had never been exposed to a particular food protein couldn't mount an allergic reaction to it. This suggested that isolating young children from even minor exposure to potentially allergic foods would be beneficial. In 1989, Dr. Robert Zeiger, a pediatric allergist and immunologist at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Diego, published related results from one of the only controlled research studies on the subject. In the Zeiger study, which appeared in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, mothers prone to allergy were randomly assigned a restricted diet. They avoided cow's milk, eggs, and peanuts during the last trimester of pregnancy and during breast-feeding; their infants were given the supplement Nutramigen, derived from casein, and kept off all solid foods for six months; cow's milk, corn, soy, citrus, and wheat were prohibited for twelve months, and egg, peanut, and fish for twenty-four months. After one year, the infants on the restricted diet had significantly fewer allergies than those in the control group. "Reduced exposure of infants to allergenic foods appeared to reduce food sensitization and allergy primarily during the first year of life," Zeiger wrote. A few experts believed that Zeiger's research had not yielded results from which one could draw major conclusions. But Sampson was influenced by the article, and most of the other leading thinkers in the field agreed with the findings. "We know that the human immune system is immature for the first year or so. So I was thinking initially that, as long as we don't expose babies to a food, they can't make an immune response," Sampson said, "and if we can wait until their immune system matures after a few years they could do better when later exposed to the food." In 1998, the Department of Health in the United Kingdom issued guidelines for doctors and families codifying these recommendations. In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics did the same. The proteins within eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, and soy that trigger allergic reactions don't readily decompose when exposed to heat in certain types of cooking or to the acid in our stomachs. Within the gastrointestinal tract, the immune system battles pathogens while it ignores harmless food proteins and allows nonthreatening bacteria to reproduce. Proteins that are easily broken down by heat or digestion, such as many of those found in fruits, generally pass by. Proteins that resist breakdown are more likely to stimulate an allergic reaction. People with the worst food allergies usually have very high levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE). When someone like Maya drinks milk, the IgE grabs hold of specific proteins that trigger the body's release of potent molecules like histamine and cytokines. The immune system overreacts to fight the protein that most people's bodies ignore. When Maya "blew up like a tomato" and stopped breathing, it was because these molecules created so much swelling and inflammation that her throat closed up. For reasons that are still not completely understood, some people manifest their allergic reactions with nothing more than an outbreak of eczema. While there is a genetic predisposition to food allergies, no one has identified the specific genes, and there is no biological explanation for their existence. "From an evolutionary-biology point of view, food allergy makes no sense at all," Dr. Scott Sicherer, Sampson's colleague at Mount Sinai, said. Hunters and gatherers who had potentially fatal reactions to tree nuts, peanuts, seeds, and fish would be at a distinct evolutionary disadvantage and were less likely to pass on their DNA to progeny. "It seems pretty clear that food allergy is a condition that resulted from the environment we created," Sicherer said. One explanation for the rise in food allergies is called the "hygiene hypothesis." The natural environment exposes us to microbes that help teach our immune system to differentiate between dangerous pathogens and nonthreatening nutrients. When we shield children from dirt in the playground and from sick kids in preschool, we may limit their infections while also reducing their exposure to healthy microbes. This could make them susceptible to food allergies. Studies of mice raised in a germ-free environment show that they have abnormal immune systems and are more prone to allergic reactions. It is possible that we are doing the same thing to ourselves. Researchers have also proposed several theories based on observations of geography and diet. Vitamin D is believed to reduce the development of allergies, and sunshine promotes vitamin-D production. Doctors in cold parts of the United States write three or four times as many prescriptions for epinephrine to treat food allergies as do doctors in warm locales. Dietary changes might also play a role. Eating more animal fat can increase the presence of a chemical, prostaglandin, that contributes to the body's inflammatory responses. And as people also eat fewer fresh fruits and vegetables they fail to take in substances, such as beta-carotene, that limit inflammation in tissues. One of the few pediatric allergists who questioned the guidelines written in 1998 and 2000 was Dr. Gideon Lack, at St. Mary's Hospital in London. Lack studied philosophy and psychology before medicine, and his background is evident in his approach to science. "If eating eggs or eating peanuts in an allergic sufferer causes a reaction, then clearly the way to prevent a reaction from occurring is by not eating egg or peanut," he said. "That makes sense. But that's different from saying that clearly the way to not become allergic in the first place is not to eat egg or peanut." Lack published letters in The Lancet and the British Medical Journal that pointed out the absence of compelling evidence used to support the expert guidelines. His skepticism was not well received. "It was very hard to get any grant support to study my ideas," he said. In 2003, Lack gave a lecture in Israel about the apparent rise of peanut allergies in the United Kingdom. "It was a large lecture hall in Tel Aviv, filled with pediatricians and allergists. And I asked them, 'How many of you have seen a case of peanut allergy in the past year?' Something like three hands shot up." Lack told me that if he had asked that question in the United Kingdom, ninety to ninety-five per cent would have raised their hands. Working with researchers in Israel, Lack surveyed more than five thousand children in Jewish schools in North London and more than five thousand schoolchildren in an ethnically and economically similar region of Tel Aviv. The team obtained detailed information about the families' consumption of foods like peanuts, sesame, and tree nuts. They also catalogued other allergic diseases, such as asthma, eczema, and hay fever. The risk for peanut allergy among Jewish children in the London area was nearly eleven times higher than among those in Tel Aviv. Tree-nut allergy was fourteen times higher, and sesame five times higher in the United Kingdom. The relative risk for milk and egg allergy was about two to three times higher. Lack's study does not offer any proof about the cause of the variance in allergies between Jewish children in London and in Tel Aviv, but he believes the striking discrepancy may be due to a difference in diet between Israel and England. "The joke in Israel is that the first three words a child says are abba, meaning 'father,' ima, meaning 'mother,' and Bamba," Lack said. Bamba is a peanut concoction that looks like a Cheez Doodle, and it is a staple of infants' diets in Israel. Lack did part of his training in pediatric allergy at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver, where he discovered that mice could develop allergies to a particular egg protein that was first rubbed on their skin or inhaled before they had ever eaten it. He wondered whether children in the United States and the United Kingdom might become allergic to peanuts through a similar mechanism. In a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2003, he reported that children with eczema had often been previously exposed to an ointment containing peanut oil and were later found to be allergic to peanuts. He also determined that there was no correlation between women who had eaten peanuts while pregnant and the development of peanut allergies in their children. His study challenged the idea that restricting a mother's diet would prevent peanut allergy, and highlighted how children can inadvertently be exposed to food proteins. In 2006, Lack received support from the National Institutes of Health as well as from two charitable organizations, the Food Allergy Initiative and the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network. He is now more than halfway through the LEAP study—Learning Early About Peanut Allergy. Six hundred and forty babies have been enrolled in the trial. The children are randomly selected either to eat peanut products or to avoid them entirely. The study will compare the rates of peanut allergy between the two groups. Lack is also conducting a study funded by the Food Standards Agency and the Medical Research Council, in the United Kingdom, about when to wean children from breast-feeding and how a baby's consumption of allergenic foods affects her later development of allergies. As part of that work, he is examining thirteen hundred babies in the United Kingdom. Lack believes that a child becomes tolerant to a variety of food proteins through exposure in the first six months of life. In developing countries, he notes, children often consume solids, initially chewed by their parents, at two or three months. "Years ago, nobody had blenders or food mixers, and today in developing countries people still don't. The easiest way to get solid foods into a baby's mouth is to chew it up, so it's moist and coated with saliva, and then spit it into the baby's mouth." A paper published in Maternal and Child Nutrition in January, 2010, reported that some two-thirds of students at a university in China were given premasticated food as infants. Only about fourteen per cent of American infants receive solid foods in this way. Saliva is a rich source of enzymes that can help break down solid foods and of antibodies that might coat food proteins in a way that makes them less allergenic to infants. Lack's research has gradually gained influence with leading allergists, including Hugh Sampson. By 2006, Sampson realized that his recommendations about food avoidance did not conform to what he termed "the real world." Doing nothing more than inhaling or touching an allergen could prompt a reaction in some children. "You can't avoid food proteins," Sampson said. "So when we put out these recommendations we allowed the infants to get intermittent and low-dose exposure, especially on the skin, which actually may have made them even more sensitive." Sampson believes that some eighty per cent of infants who are allergic to eggs or milk will outgrow the allergy by their teen-age years, and that preventing them from being fed products with these foods may prolong the time that takes. "I spent most of my career telling mothers to avoid these types of foods for their babies," he told me. "Now we're testing to see if we should advise mothers to give the foods to them." In January, 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics released a clinical report by Mount Sinai's Dr. Sicherer and other researchers that overturned the expert advice of the past decade: "Current evidence does not support a major role for maternal dietary restrictions during pregnancy or lactation. . . . There is also little evidence that delaying the timing of the introduction of complementary foods beyond four to six months of age prevents the occurrence of [allergies]." Dr. Frank Greer, a specialist in newborn nutrition at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and an author of the clinical report, told me, "There is so much out there about how to feed infants, when to begin rice cereal, how to phase in yellow vegetables and then green vegetables, that has no basis in scientific evidence. It's not surprising that recommendations were made which were based on so little data." Dr. Susan Baker, a professor of pediatrics at the State University of New York at Buffalo and an expert on nutrition for children, chaired the committee overseen by the A.A.P. that released the recommendations in 2000. She told me that safety concerns drove the experts to recommend restricting exposure of infants to potentially allergenic foods, particularly cow's milk. "At the time, there was a proliferation of infant formulas on the market. Babies not only have cow's milk allergy with eczema, but some who are intolerant of milk also develop bloody diarrhea. The real concern was that the formulas might do harm. That sort of propelled us." The committee, she said, moved from milk products to restricting other allergenic foods, like peanuts and fish. "We in medicine are making a lot of decisions and recommendations based on not a lot of solid evidence. So you toe a fine line. You want to try to get pediatricians something that is as good as it can be to help guide their practice and their thinking. Did we overreach with peanuts and other foods? Probably. Could it have been better? Absolutely." The 2000 recommendations have now been overturned, but Gideon Lack is disturbed by what families now face. "Basically, we are all in limbo," he said. Sicherer told me, "This is a tricky area. The A.A.P. has backed away from making recommendations, since the evidence is weak. I try to emphasize with my patients not to feel guilty that they did or did not do something that would have resulted in their child having a food allergy. Even the experts are not certain what to advise." People with food allergies live under a constant threat, in a society that is still poorly informed about the condition. For people with peanut and tree-nut allergies, incidents in restaurants account for nearly a quarter of unintentional exposures and about half of all fatal reactions. In 2007, Sicherer published the results of a survey of a hundred managers, servers, and chefs in establishments ranging from continental restaurants to bakeries and delis. Focussing on New York City and Long Island, Sicherer found that about a quarter of managers and workers believed that consuming a small amount of the allergen would be safe; thirty-five per cent believed that frying would destroy it; and a quarter thought it was safe to remove an allergen from a finished meal, like taking walnuts out of a salad. Nearly three-quarters of food workers believed that they knew how to "guarantee" a safe meal. Most states do not require that food providers attend educational programs, and there are no national requirements. Sampson, acutely aware of the risks facing food-allergy sufferers, is now trying to work out a way to help desensitize people. To do this, he is relying on the idea behind the hygiene hypothesis and some of Lack's investigations: that exposure in small doses, in controlled circumstances, can build tolerance. He is trying to identify how the IgE antibody attaches to different proteins, and he uses this knowledge to have foods cooked in a way that would make the proteins less allergenic. Researchers at Mount Sinai observed, for example, that baking caused milk proteins to change shape in a way that could be less provocative to the immune system. An allergic person might be able to eat the altered proteins and become tolerant of them in all their forms. Sampson and other researchers have also configured an experimental vaccine that contains fragments of peanut protein that might "reëducate" the immune system of allergic people. Safety studies of the experimental vaccine are under way at the Jaffe Institute. In 2008, when Maya Konoff was seven, her mother enrolled her in a research study being conducted by Dr. Sampson at the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute, funded by the N.I.H. She was given allergens in an altered form, and if she achieved tolerance she would be given foods that contained the allergen in its more natural state. The treatment rooms at the institute are painted in soft tones and the hallways are decorated with large photographs of fruits. The institute has a spotless stainless-steel kitchen; all the refrigerators and cabinets are kept locked. Diego Baraona, the chef, prepares the foods. When I visited, he showed me a batch of small muffins he had baked, with applesauce and milk, and cups of rice pudding tightly sealed in plastic. With a nurse and Jill Mindlin at Maya's side, the child was given a muffin. Maya tentatively took a bite, waited, and seemed to have no reaction. In short order, she ate the rest of the muffin. "It was very exciting for our family," Mindlin recalled, "because it meant that she was one of those kids whose bodies didn't recognize the milk protein when it was broken down in baking, so now she had potential to eat baked foods." The next step was to try a taste of pizza. Maya took her first bite, waited, smiled, and then took another two bites. "I knew right then that things were not going well, even though Maya had not exhibited any physical symptoms," Mindlin said. "She had been so giddy, riding off the high of eating the muffin, happy and chattering, and then all of a sudden there was this pall that came over her." Maya soon broke out in hives and began vomiting. Sampson gave her an epinephrine injection. As the drug took effect, the anaphylactic reaction was arrested. According to the protocol, Maya was supposed to come back in six months. Dr. Sampson counselled that in the meantime she should eat baked foods that included milk. When she returned, an intravenous line was inserted and an epinephrine inject pen was placed at the bedside before Maya was offered a slice of the same pizza. "It was nothing less than miraculous," her mother told me. "She ate the entire slice of pizza." Maya was observed for several hours and then given a bowl of rice pudding. The doctors told Mindlin to expect a reaction. "But instead she ate the whole bowl of rice pudding and was fine. She jumped two levels, just by eating muffins every day," Mindlin said. Maya returned to Mount Sinai the next day for a glass of milk. "That didn't go quite as well," Mindlin said. As Maya finished drinking, her nose began to run and she vomited. The allergic reaction was mild enough to be treated with Benadryl. When I spoke to Mindlin in December, she told me that Maya can now eat macaroni and cheese but that she is still unable to drink milk. "Even if she never progresses past this, I have no regrets about being in the study, because now she can go to a birthday party and have a slice of pizza. It's huge." ♦ Jerome Groopman, a staff writer since 1998, writes primarily about medicine and biology.

Well, this will be a nice surprise for the huge crowd tonight at Memorial Coliseum: Komets captain Colin Chaulk is expected to be in the lineup.
He missed the last 32 games because of a shoulder injury and then a foot infection.
The Komets could sure use him.
Brent Henley will be the scratch, since the Komets can play only four veterans.
Also, Marco Cousineau is out, so Larkin Saalfrank is the backup to Charlie Effinger.
Evansville, by the way, is on a 1-4-1 slide (the lone victory coming against Fort Wayne) and the IceMen have won two of their last 11.
Fort Wayne has lost 5 of 7.

Taylor Not Satisfied
Taylor gave up one run in five innings last time
By Trey Wilson
Bluefield Beat Writer
Date: Jul 25, 2011
Left-handed pitcher Mitchell Taylor has been able to put up solid numbers so far this season in the Appalachian League, but neither him nor the coaches are quite satisfied. Taylor, a seventh round selection in the 2010 draft, is still making several adjustments to fine-tune his mechanics.

THURSDAY, Jan. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Many kidney failure
patients experience bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal (GI)
tract, a problem that can cause serious health problems and even
early death, a new study shows.
The researchers said their findings show that more needs to be
done to prevent and treat upper GI bleeding -- which occurs in the
esophagus, stomach or first part of the intestine -- in kidney
failure patients.
They noted that kidney failure patients on dialysis are
particularly prone to upper GI bleeding.
For this study, the researchers examined data from nearly 1
million patients in the U.S. Renal Data System, which collects
information on most of the dialysis patients in the country.
The analysis revealed that rates for upper GI bleeding were
either 57 or 328 episodes per 1,000 kidney failure patients per
year, according to stringent and lenient definitions of what
qualifies as upper GI bleeding. That's more than 10 times higher
than the general population, according to the American Society of
Nephrology news release.
The study also found that nearly 12 percent of kidney failure
patients who had upper GI bleeding died within a month of bleeding,
but there was a significant decline in the death rate from 1998 to
The death rate fell from a little more than 12 percent in 1998
to 10.5 percent in 2007 according to the stringent definition of
upper GI bleeding, and from about 10 percent to 8 percent according
to the lenient definition.
Despite that decline -- which may be due to improvements in
medical care -- the dangers of upper GI bleeding in kidney failure
patients remain a substantial issue, said the Stanford University
School of Medicine researchers and colleagues.
The study appears online Jan. 19 in the
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

Kate Bishop on a date with some guy she just met, and because they live in Marvel's New York, it's pretty expected for a first date question to be, "Who's your favorite supe?" And Kate wants to say herself because she fucking loves her job and knows she's awesome at it, but she knows it's too close to saying she's a Supe, so she says her favorite is Clint!Hawkeye because it's not like Clint is subtle or anything, and the guy asks why not lady!Hawkeye, and that leads to Kate saying, "Um, I think she's just Hawkeye."
"No, I mean, she's got to be like Lady Hawkeye or Hawk girl or something, right?"
"No, I think she's just Hawkeye-Hawkeye. No gender associations required."
"I think it's Miss Hawkeye."
"Okay, first of all, it's NOT any of those. It's HAWKEYE. JUST HAWKEYE. Because there is nothing inherently masculine about HAWKEYE as a damned name. Second, if it was gonna be something like "Miss Hawkeye"—which it's NOT" it'd be "MS. HAWKEYE" because the nature of her romantic relationships isn't known, so you can't say for certain if she's married or not."
And then Kate would go home and call Clint and be all, "OMG WHY DO PEOPLE THINK I'M GIRL HAWKEYE."
And Clint will have no answer because that shit sounds dumb.

Queen Noor to Appear at NY Public Library
The New York Public Library will host her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan tonight in a panel discussion, part of a special three-night series of conversations in the Muslim Voices: Arts & Ideas Festival.
Entitled "Media: "A Catalyst for Change," the discussion will be moderated by Shamil Idriss from the Alliance of Civilizations Media Fund. Other panelists include Benjamin Barber (author of "Jihad vs. McWorld") and Andrea ter Avest Dahm, a dramatist from the Netherlands. Queen Noor will represent the King Hussein Foundation.
The series concludes tomorrow evening, and here's more from the release: "Popular media images or negative stereotypes that insult or humiliate Muslim groups have been shown to be related to the polarization between Muslim and Western societies. As rapid technological advances expand media's capacity to shape our views of the world as well as each other, this panel seeks to investigate what role entertainment media (film, TV and new media) can play in improving cross-cultural understanding."

I paint. I write. I share.
Welcome to Dirty Footprints Studio, my name is Connie Hozvicka. I am an artist, passionate teacher, and a gatherer of creative Spirits. I'm most of all a devoted mother and wife to the greatest blessings of my life. I consider creativity to be a sacred path to wholeness and that every soul has a story worth telling. I've been sharing my own insight online at DirtyFootprints-Studio.com since 2008 and teaching art professionally for 20+ years. My work is dedicated to inspiring artists to trust their feminine wisdom, express themselves fearlessly, and to embrace creativity with an open heart. At Dirty Footprints Studio I offer workshops, retreats, eBooks, and my celebrated feminine leadership program IGINTE designed for women called to share their creativity sustainably through workshops and heart centered programs. But most of all I offer my love.
I ANSWERED THE CALL TO BE AN ARTIST when I was just an itty bitty and was blessed to have a family that supported my decision. I graduated with a degree in art and art history, and years later went back to receive my art education licensure. I've been making art since as early as I can remember, and I've been teaching art professionally for 20+ years now. In 2010 I quit my full time, public school art teaching gig to pour my heart 100% into Dirty Footprints Studio--best decision I ever made!
--I AM A THRIVING, HEART-CENTERED ENTREPRENEUR--so much so that author Marianne Cantwell honored me with a whole chapter in her book Be A Free Range Human and the pioneer of self employment herself: Barbara Winter personally invited me to speak at her Joyfully Jobless Jamboree convention in Austin, Texas back in 2010. What most Artists fail to see is that we have the total advantage at being an entrepreneur--creativity and courage is the key to success--not a business degree.

I AM THE FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR of the celebrated online art journaling workshop: 21 SECRETS--which is going on it's fifth year in 2014. I founded this workshop with the intention of bringing the healing forces of art journaling to Artists and non-Artists everywhere--making it affordable, accessible, and inspiring.
--I CREATE ART PURELY AS PART OF MY SPIRITUAL PATH. Even though I have sold my work world wide and have been in numerous gallery shows, I consciously choose now to create Art that is purely for my own spiritual development and not for commerce.
-- I AM A DEVOTED YOGINI. I first was introduced to the practice by my Dad when I was just five years old and ever since it has been a constant in my life...In 2011 I graduated from the Yoga Pura 500 hour Teacher Training and I have followed the path of Bhakti ever since.
--I HITCHHIKED AROUND COSTA RICA with the great love of my life (who is now my husband) Hansel in 2006...then the following year we sold all our belongings and took a road trip across the US of A, landing in Arizona where we've been living ever since. We're planning another amazing adventure for 2015!
--I GAVE BIRTH TO THE MOST INCREDIBLE SOUL--my son Phoenix, in 2012. My whole life changed in the most magical and mysterious ways.
I CHANT DAILY. It's how I pray and realign myself.
--I'VE BEEN A VEGETARIAN since I was 17 and I am currently studying permaculture and sustainability because I believe how we eat influences everything.
--I USED TO HAVE DREADLOCKS. (Somedays I miss them.)
--PURPLE is definitely my favorite color.
--I LOVE LOVE LOVE my sketchbook.
--MY SUN SIGN IS CAPRICORN. MY MOON SIGN IS SCORPIO. That explains everything.

When we first moved to Arizona I was making large ceramic vessels and selling them at craft shows and local galleries. In 2008 I left ceramics and went back to painting. I started this blog to share my process and connect with other Artists. Even though Dirty Footprints Studio has evolved much since those first days, my intention still is the same.
--THE NAME DIRTY FOOTPRINTS STUDIO CAME FROM my years creating at the ceramics studio barefoot. One afternoon, during a studio meeting, one of the Artists said they always knew when I was in the studio because they could see my "dirty footprints" in the clay dust on the floor! Voila--Dirty Footprints Studio was born. But truthfully, embedded in the name is my practice of staying grounded to beloved Mother Earth and my reverence for this blessed journey of discovery I truly am on as an Artist.
Let's connect...

"A Few of My Favourite Things" Celebratory Giveaway!!!
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…
Julie Andrews is one of my favourite things, too. If I could package her up and send her to you as part of my giveaway, believe me, I would.
For now, though, I thought I'd make do with giving away a few other favourites of mine to one lucky winner. ***GIVEAWAY RULES UNDER THE CUT***
Idle Love
No need for pressure; it's a guilty pleasure;
Gone is the sore because we've done it before;
We're expert already so no need to practice to be steady;
Don't worry honey, if this is a job we'll make lots of money;
We will be dreaming, dancing, singing, and swimming
In the pool of suffering and happiness, we'll be limitless;
Our think tank is empty; refill our bottles that are plenty;
But before that, let's stop somewhere and chat;
I know it will be our fault, but we can heal the wound with salt;
Whatever, it's going to be worth it forever;
We are too young to get old but too old to be told;
I'll say our love for idleness will forever stay.
Confessions of a First Timer: Baking Red Velvet Cupcakes
Ironically, red velvet is my least favorite cake/cupcake. I have no idea why. But to match the Christmas season, I baked Peppermint Red Velvet Cupcake and seriously, this was my first time to bake red velvet. It turned out good as I not expected! Although I have small faults, like the color, but it's still a good way to start!
If you want to try it, use a red velvet recipe that you're most comfortable with then for the icing, I used Butter cream icing but you can use other kinds of icing. I got the recipe for the icing in this site and it seriously is a good one! Then you can put peppermint flavor in exchange of vanilla flavor for the icing or if you want to keep the vanilla flavor, you can just sprinkle crushed candy canes on the icing.
Merry Christmas everyone!!! :)
Confessions of a First-timer: Gym Edition
I told myself a lot of times that I will never set foot inside a gym. It was because first, I don't want my exercise to be mostly done with machines, second, I am a little bit scared of what the machines will do if I do not use it right, third, I don't like the thought of sharing equipment, and lastly, I don't want to be in a place where there are a lot of people, noise, and sweat whenever I want a peace of mind while exercising.
So this Wednesday morning, I forced myself to go to the gym. At first, I was doubting because there might be a lot of people but then I shrugged the shyness off. When I was about to change, I thought of making a little research on the equipment that I will be using which was the treadmill so I turned my laptop on and did my researching. It was controllable at first but then I made a mistake by logging in to my Facebook. Seriously, for a minute or so, the magic of internet got me under-spell and I almost didn't go to the gym if I had not force myself to log off. So I dressed up and went to the gym immediately before I started having second thoughts. When I got there, I started panicking for I seriously don't know how to use the treadmill (so much for researching). I fiddled around (but not too obvious for I don't want the man running beside me thinking like I'm lost or something) until I finally got the machine working. Happiness! :) So I stepped in, synchronized my steps with the moving belt, and let myself listen to Katy Perry (Teenage Dream is actually a good song to jog to).
It took me a lot of courage to go to the gym and once I got inside, my perspective about the place changed. The gym is actually a good place to exercise (minus the sweat around you) if you want to have a peaceful exercise or you don't feel like going outside. Plus, it's also great when you live in a condominium or in a place where there's no park nearby. So take up all the courage you have and try to visit the gym at least once or twice a week (and if you're thinking of visiting only, please, use even just one equipment and you won't regret it). Oh! And I got to tell you, doing a selfie in the gym is probably not a great idea unless if you're so proud of your achievement like me. ;-)

Oh good. Julian Assange keeps talking. In a recent interview, he said he was bewildered by the sexual assault allegations against him. He sees himself a victim of radicalism:
"Sweden is the Saudi Arabia of feminism," he said. "I fell into a hornets' nest of revolutionary feminism."
Honey, I wish Sweden was a nest of "revolutionary feminism," but I really don't think it's quite there yet.
Maybe Assange is confused because he doesn't seem to grasp the basics of consent. He says one of the women "arrived at a lunch in a revealing pink cashmere sweater, flirted with him, and took him home." And the other woman took a "'trophy photo' of him lying naked in her bed." Well, ok, that's nice. And also totally irrelevant to the accusations against him, since both women have said that the sexual encounters began consensually but at some point stopped being consensual. That pink cashmere might have screamed "unprotected sex against my will" to Assange, but I'm guessing that wasn't the woman's intention.
And then there's this charming quote:
"She says they had consensual sex but she woke up the next morning to find him having intercourse with her to which she had not consented.
When she asked him if he was wearing anything, he had allegedly said: 'I am wearing you.'"
Not ok, dude. If you think it's fine to penetrate a woman when she's asleep, without a condom when she's explicitly stated that she has not agreed to unprotected sex, respond with a line as god awful as that, and still claim to be positively baffled by the complaints against you, I really can't help you.
We don't know if Assange is guilty of these allegations. But between these quotes, his truly terrible OkCupid profile, and the leaked excerpts from his diaries, I, for one, am ready to definitively conclude that–at the very least–Assange is a huge tool. And supporters of "revolutionary feminism" worldwide should probably boycott having sex with him ever again.
