The post Frostbite & Frostnip – the danger is lurking appeared first on PA Foot & Ankle Associates.]]>
We're in a Polar Vortex which is downright cold for all of us but especially dangerous for Diabetics, small children and the elderly. With the incredibly low temperatures, it's important to be aware of Frostbite and Frostnip and how to treat it if you or a loved one is affected.
Frostbite is tissue damage caused by cold and is rated according to severity; first, second, and third degree. Skin turns white, blue or mottled and feels frozen. Frostnip is the mildest level of frostbite. Skin will look pale and feel cold, numb and stiff.
Frostnip can easily be treated at home. If you think you may have the symptoms of frostnip, get out of the cold as soon as possible. Immerse the affected area in warm water (100º to 105º Fahrenheit) to thaw the frozen tissue. As an alternative, use your own body heat to warm the area. Do not use vigorous (rubbing) or high heat methods (heating pad, stove, water hotter than 105 º, etc.) to avoid burning the skin.
If the skin tingles and burns as it warms, your circulation is returning. The skin may turn red, but should not blister or swell. If the skin does not seem to warm, if it remains numb, or if it blisters or swells, seek immediate medical attention as you may be suffering from Frostbite.
Frostbite requires emergency medical care. If you think you may have frostbite, get out of the cold as soon as possible. If you cannot get medical help immediately and there's no risk that the area might be re-frozen before you get help, warm the affected area as you would for frostnip.
Protect your feet and toes by wearing two pairs of socks and choosing appropriate footwear. The first pair of socks, next to your skin, should be made of moisture-wicking fabric. Wear a pair of wool or wool-blend socks on top of those. Your boots should also provide adequate insulation. They should be waterproof and cover your ankles. Make sure that nothing feels tight, as tight clothing increases the risk of frostbite. And limit your time outdoors as an extra precaution.

The post You Don't Have To Be An Athlete to Have a Jones Fracture appeared first on PA Foot & Ankle Associates.]]>
A Jones fracture is a fracture to the long bone on the outside of the foot, the fifth metatarsal, that is caused by a sudden inward and downward twisting of the foot or direct force to the area. Patients experience pain to "the outside" of their foot with swelling and pain with walking.
These injuries can be diagnosed with a standard x-ray of the foot and are particularly difficult to treat as they occur in an area of the bone with limited blood supply. Adequate blood supply is essential for healing.
While 6-8 weeks of non-weight bearing is the typical method of treatment for most patients, surgery is usually preferred for high-level athletes. Surgery for this injury consists of introducing a single screw into the bone to hold the two fragments together so that they can heal. Even with surgery, it is approximately 6 weeks until return to activity can be expected. The most common complication that patients experience with this injury, as seen with Durant, is failure of the two bone fragments to heal. When this happens, regardless of the initial method of treatment, patients require surgery to repair the non-healing bone.

The post Pain In Your Knees, Hips, Or Back? Your Feet Might Be The Problem appeared first on PA Foot & Ankle Associates.]]>
And then we looked down at her shoes – the most beat-up, worn-out flats we ever saw.
"You have flat feet, don't you?"
"Yes, I do."
"Do you wear those shoes often?"
"Yes, I love them."
"Throw them away and never wear them again. Those shoes have zero support and flat feet need arch support. I bet if you wear sneakers instead your pain will go away."
"I hadn't thought of that."
Most people assume that the growing pain in their knees, hips, or back is caused by a crippling disease or an unknown injury. But in fact, the source of your pain may actually be rooted in your feet – or more specifically, heels and arches which aren't supported correctly (as in our friend's case), or feet that are out of alignment with your ankle and leg.
The older we get…
As we age we have to take better care of our feet. After forty-plus years of neglect, they gradually become painful, arthritic, misaligned, and prone to bunions and hammertoes. Our feet are designed to distribute and support our body weight evenly across the forefoot and heels, and a critical part of this is the proper alignment of the foot/ankle and the ankle/lower leg. In the case of those who have flat feet, arch support is required for proper alignment and to avoid fatigue.
When we're out of alignment, or lack arch support, we get tired and sore, which causes us to shift our body weight to get comfortable. Then the sides of our foot, forefoot or heel carry too much weight and our ankles, knees, hips and legs compensate, which causes stress on the joints. And when the stress is continuous, the joints become irritated and painful.
It may be hard to believe that such acute and bothersome pain can be caused by a lack of arch support or the misalignment of your foot/ankle/lower leg. In many cases, a simple change in footwear to a quality pair of athletic shoes, worn as often as possible, is the answer. To correct your alignment and relive fatigue, your podiatrist may also recommend custom orthotics to be worn inside your shoes.
And how is our friend doing now, one month later? She reports that she's been wearing sneakers as often as possible and her back, hip and knee pain is nearly gone. Voila!

The post Heel Pain Not Healing? It May Not Be Plantar Fasciitis appeared first on PA Foot & Ankle Associates.]]>
Heel pain that lasts more than 8 weeks may be caused by a ligament tear in the heel, whose initial symptoms are almost identical to plantar fasciitis. However, the treatments for the two conditions are very different. In the case of a misdiagnosis, the treatment for plantar fasciitis can even make your heel pain worse.
Plantar fasciitis is a micro tear of the plantar fascia ligament, which occurs from overuse (too much demand on the ligament). A plantar fascia rupture (or tear) is less common and typically more painful. Pain from either injury will be felt in the bottom of the heel.
Even though the two injuries affect the same ligament, the treatment for plantar fasciitis vs. a plantar fascia tear are practically polar opposite. If you have a typical case of plantar fasciitis, the treatment protocol is usually stretching exercises via physical therapy, rest, ice, over the counter anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen or naproxen), and in some cases custom orthotics. If a patient follows the prescribed treatment, their plantar fasciitis will usually heal in 3-6 weeks.
Read more about plantar fasciitis.
But if your heel pain is caused by a tear to the plantar fascia ligament, those stretching exercises may make your condition worse. Healing a plantar fascia tear takes anywhere from 2-5 months, depending upon its severity. Treatment typically involves immobilization of the foot and lots of rest, to allow the tissue time to reconstruct without further stress. In some cases, surgery will be necessary to completely repair the ligament.
For this reason, a visit to a podiatrist is always recommended for heel pain. The subtle differences in these injuries can easily be missed by a general physician, and the wrong treatment can worsen your condition. Heel pain also puts more stress on the other joints in your body, as we shift weight off of our heel. It's common to develop pain in the ankle, knees and back as well when we have heel pain.
The best way to prevent heel pain is to be proactive. Wear supportive shoes to work and properly fitting and padded athletic shoes when you exercise. The key to protection is arch support and padding in the heel to absorb impact. It's also a good idea to do a proper warm-up before exercising, including gentle stretching exercises for your legs, ankles and feet.

The post Save Your Feet & Ankles: Return To Training Slowly appeared first on PA Foot & Ankle Associates.]]>
"I had pain in my feet/ankles/toes after I ran. And then I ran the next day and they hurt more. I can't understand it, because I'm running exactly the same route I did as last year."
Each spring, every athlete is anxious to jump right back in where they left off. But we forget just how quickly our bodies get out of condition, especially as we age.
Your body has de-conditioned over the winter months (assuming you're not working out regularly at the gym). Ligaments, muscles, bones, and interconnective tissue have become much weaker from lack of use. When we demand the same from them as we did when we were in peak condition at the end of last season, the disconnect between desire, endurance and strength becomes obvious. The result is soreness, stiffness, tendonitis, sprains, fractures or worse, which could sideline us for months.
Whenever we have a significant break from our training schedule, even a few weeks, it's important to build back up slowly to pre-break levels. This is especially true when we lay off all winter, or when we're recovering from an injury or an illness.
In fact, your hard-earned fitness can begin decreasing in as little as 2 weeks, especially if you're in peak condition. According to Dr. Edward Coyle, the director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin, the maximum oxygen that an athlete can uptake and utilize (your endurance) plunges in the first month of inactivity and continues to decrease for the next 3 months of inactivity. Even the enzymes involved in metabolizing energy become less active. In fact, for the casual athlete, all the benefits derived from the previous season – the ability to uptake and utilize oxygen – may be completely lost when they lay off their routine for 4 months or more.
And after your endurance decreases, your muscle mass and strength also take a hit. Which is when you feel ankle pain or heel pain pushing that last mile.
The good news is, if you've been a runner or otherwise training for 10 years or more, you can maintain fitness longer than those who've been at it for less time. And highly trained athletes don't decline to the same levels as the casual athlete, even after a long layoff.
So how do you get back into condition?
Breaks are an important part of training, as they're important for your physical and mental health. They can also help you come back stronger and faster. Your best bet is to rest when injured or ill and do some cross-training in the gym during your downtime to maintain strength and endurance. That's a far better strategy than hurting yourself every spring.

The post Sodas & Milkshakes Increase Risk of Type 2 Diabetes appeared first on PA Foot & Ankle Associates.]]>
The new British study, published in Diabetologia, the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, tracked the beverage consumption habits of more than 25,000 adults ages 40-79 over a period of 11 years, to see who was more or less likely to develop diabetes. None had diabetes at the start of the study. The research showed that those who drank unsweetened or lightly sweetened coffee, tea or water daily instead of sugar-sweetened drinks like sodas and milkshakes, were up to 25% less likely to develop diabetes.
The association of tea and coffee with diabetes has not been well-studied in the past. This is also the first study to link sweetened-milk beverages like milkshakes and flavored milks to diabetes. The authors write that the association is "unsurprising" since added sugar contributes more than half of the sugar contained in these drinks.
In a press release, the senior author of the paper, Dr. Nita Forouhi of the University of Cambridge, said, "The good news is that our study provides evidence that replacing a daily serving of a sugary soft drink or sugary milk drink with water or unsweetened tea or coffee can help to cut the risk of diabetes."
Just one cola per day is too much sugar
Overall the study found that each 5% increase in the daily amount of calories from sweetened beverages was associated with an 18% increase in diabetes. Soft drinks like Coca Cola and Pepsi, sweetened milk beverages like milkshakes, and artificially sweetened beverages like diet sodas were all associated with approximately a 22% increase in diabetes.
However, the association with artificially sweetened beverages lost statistical significance when the researchers took weight into account, suggesting that "those who are overweight or obese and at higher risk of chronic disease consume a higher amount of [artificially sweetened beverages] than those at lower risk."
Public health experts recommend that a typical adult diet – about 2,000 calories a day – should include no more than 130 calories from added sugar. If you drink just one 12-ounce can of Coca Cola Classic, with 140 calories, you'll exceed that limit.
"Our study adds further important evidence to the recommendation from the World Health Organization to limit the intake of free sugars in our diet," states Dr. Forouhi. "Replacing soft drinks and sweetened-milk beverages with [artificially sweetened beverages] did not reduce type 2 diabetes incidence, but drinking water or unsweetened tea or coffee as alternatives to soft drinks and sweetened milk beverages lowered the incidence of type 2 diabetes significantly. These novel findings are of clinical and public health relevance,… [as] reducing consumption of sweet beverages… and promoting drinking water and unsweetened tea or coffee as alternatives may help curb the escalating diabetes epidemic."

But for those who once had arches, Flatfoot slowly develops from wear and tear (aging) or trauma, causing pain in the arches, heels, ankles, knees or hips, as the leg and foot fall out of alignment. The culprit is usually damage to the posterior tibial tendon which runs along the inside of your ankle – when it weakens, it can no longer support the arch.
We all start with zero arch. We're born with flat feet and slowly our arches develop during childhood, becoming fully developed in adulthood.
The arches and the biomechanics of the lower leg are intimately linked – our arches literally put a "spring" in our step, determine how we walk and distribute our body weight proportionally across our feet and legs. Arches also need to be sturdy and flexible to adapt to various surfaces. When the strength or flexibility of the arch fails, the alignment and balance of the foot and leg suffers.
The most common cause of Adult Acquired Flat Foot Deformity (AAFFD) is damage to the posterior tibial tendon, one of the most important tendons in your leg. Starting at the calf, the posterior tibial tendon travels down the inside of your leg and heel, and attaches to the bones on the inside of your foot. The main function of the tendon is to support your arch and foot. If the tendon suffers chronic damage such as persistent inflammation, it may lose its ability to support your arch, and the arch will slowly collapse. Pain and discomfort from AAFFD can be substantial, occurring anywhere in the foot, heel, ankle, knee, back, or hip.
Inflammatory arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis, attacks the cartilage in the joints as well as the ligaments that support the foot. The inflammation causes not only pain, but also may change the shape of the foot and cause the arch to drop.
Ligament injury causes the joints to fall out of alignment. The job of the ligaments is to hold the bones in place and prevent them from moving. When the ligaments are damaged, the bones fall, flattening the arch.
Fractures or dislocations of the bones in the midfoot can lead to Flatfoot deformity.
Charcot Foot Disorder, a complication of diabetes, results from a nerve condition (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) which causes a loss of sensation in the feet. An infection in the foot, unknown to the patient, causes weakness in the ligaments and bones, leading to collapse of the arch and other complications. Complicated surgery is required to correct the problem.
Watch the story of how we alleviated the pain of Flatfoot (and other conditions) for one of our patients.

Runners and other athletes are especially prone to overuse injuries in the heel and ankle. Some, especially those with long legs, are also prone to having a stiff Achilles tendon and stiff calf muscles. As the foot and ankle literally hinge on these mechanisms, inflexibility leaves the tendon, heel and ankle at risk of injury, especially when we play sports. Usually, the injury appears in the form of Achilles tendonitis, calcaneal (heel bone) bursitis, or plantar fasciitis.
If, at the first sign of pain you rest, elevate and ice the sore area until the pain subsides, healing may be achieved without medical intervention. If you ignore the pain and keep training, the injury may become very serious. If pain continues for 4 days or more, see a podiatrist.
Stress fracture
A stress fracture in the ankle or foot generally occurs gradually from overuse. Depending on the location and severity of the fracture, pain can radiate through the entire foot, ankle and/or heel. The pain may be accompanied by numbness or tingling, redness, swelling and a feeling of instability.
It's essential that any fracture – whether a small stress fracture or a more serious break – be treated by a podiatrist to insure that it heals correctly. Don't blow it off – ask anybody who's middle aged or older and they'll tell you how much these "minor" stress fractures come back to haunt you later in life.
Nerve conditions
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome and peripheral neuropathy can cause considerable pain and discomfort. Tarsal Tunnel is an entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve which passes through your ankle. When the nerve becomes compressed, pain can be felt from the sole of the foot and throughout the ankle. Pain may also radiate to the leg and hip. Peripheral neuropathy, usually a side effect of diabetes, can cause tingling and pain at any point in the foot and lower leg.
Both conditions require the intervention of a podiatrist to relieve symptoms.
Tendinitis, Tendinosis, or tendon rupture
In or near the ankle, the Achilles tendon is the most likely tendon to cause pain. But pain may also be felt from injury to the peroneal, posterior tibial or flexor hallucis longus tendons. The area of swelling and tenderness usually indicates which tendon has been damaged.
Treat with rest, ice and anti inflammatories, and see a podiatrist for an evaluation.
Ankle Impingement Syndrome
Anterior Ankle Impingement or Posterior Ankle Impingement Syndrome occurs when soft tissues around the ankle become pinched. When the ankle is bent fully up or down, pain occurs. Runners, footballers and dancers are notorious for developing these syndromes.
Treat as above with tendinitis.
Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain occurs when the ankle ligaments are subjected to an unnatural twisting, causing stretching or tearing of the ligaments. A sprain can easily cause pain in the entire area around the ankle, including the heel.
Treatment by a podiatrist is necessary to insure that the sprain heals correctly. Damaged ligaments which are not cared for properly become weak and are more likely to be reinjured and cause long-term problems.
Arthritis can occur in any joint in the body. It's especially debilitating when it takes up residence in the ankle. Due to the inflexibility of the arthritic ankle, arthritis patients are prone to plantar fasciitis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
This chronic autoimmune disease attacks joints at any point in the body. RA usually starts in the small joints of the hands and feet, and progresses to the larger joints. More than 90% of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients develop symptoms in their feet and ankles, usually occurring in both feet simultaneously. Difficulty climbing stairs is an early sign that the ankle is beset with RA. Difficulty on uneven ground suggests that the hindfoot – the heel area – is showing signs of the disease. A podiatrist can identify your symptoms and you will be referred to a rheumatologist for treatment.

But on the downside, those shoes can prevent the muscles in our feet from getting the exercise they need. And as we age, it shows: bunions, hammer toes, aching arches, aching toes, poor balance, and a host of other maladies (some of these are inherited traits).
Strong feet and ankles are essential for anyone, and especially as we age, to maintain our balance. Running, biking, weight lifting and any athletic activity is great, but they tend to develop one side of the body more than the other, due to our natural left-hand, right-hand propensity. Yoga aims to create equal strength and also loosens the joints, helping them avoid injury and maintain flexibility.
One of the first lessons in yoga is how to stand. This may seem silly at first, but our feet are our foundation, and we quickly learn that we need to unlearn some bad habits. Over the years we lean into the sides of our feet, lean back on our heels, lean forward, or shift weight from sore areas. All of these habits change the way we walk and stand, throwing our legs and ankles out of alignment and placing stress on other parts of our body. The result is pain and stiffness anywhere between the toes and neck.
Try these simple yoga-based exercises to build strength in your ankles, feet and toes. Do all exercises barefoot on a flat surface. If you have medical problems with your feet or ankles, or are obese, consult your physician before attempting.
Learn To Evenly Distribute Your Weight
The strength of your feet – and especially your arches – determines if your leg is aligned with your ankle. Strengthening your arches starts with an awareness of how you stand.
Standing upright in bare feet, sense where your weight falls in your feet. Your feet are meant to carry your body weight evenly – not back on the heels or on the balls of your feet. Press down evenly through the heels, the balls, and your toes. You'll feel the difference in your balance immediately. While standing upright and evenly balanced, spread the soles and toes as much as you can and reach the toes forward.
Stretch and Strengthen Your Feet
One of the most common yoga poses, Downward-Facing Dog, stretches the soles of your feet and strengthens your arches. In this position, gently push your heels toward the floor as much as possible. Learn how to do it here.
To stretch the tops of your feet and strengthen your ankles, try Hero Pose (only do this if you have no knee problems). Kneel on the floor, keeping your thighs perpendicular to the floor and touch your inner knees together. Slide your feet apart, slightly wider than your hips, but keep the tops of your feet flat on the floor. Then sit down between your feet. If your buttocks don't rest comfortably on the floor, support them with a thick book placed between your feet. Now lift your sternum, sitting as upright as possible, and try to release your shoulder blades away from your ears. Hold for 1 minute.
Raising yourself on your toes is a simple and excellent way to strengthen your feet. While this may seem easy at first, try doing it very slowly. You'll be surprised at how much effort you'll expend.
Strengthen your toes
Stand with your feet so that they're directly under your hips. Try to lift just the big toe on each foot, while keeping the other toes on the floor. Then do the opposite: lift all the toes except the big toe. Switch back and forth. You'll find that one part of that exercise will be a lot easier than the other. That's because those who pronate (roll the foot inward when they walk) typically have a hard time lifting their big toes, and those who supinate (roll the foot outward) have a hard time lifting the other toes.
Leaning is Exercise
Leaning teaches us how to balance our weight across our feet. Those who shift their weight to their heels leave the front of their foot without much to do, and the foot weakens.
Stand with your feet a comfortable distance apart and put a soft bend in your knees. Lean forward at the ankle as if you were about to ski down a slope. Do not lean from the waist or hips – keep the lean in your ankles. This exercise wakes up the muscles in your toes and the soles of your feet.
If your feet feel tired after these exercises, that's good – it means that the muscles are being worked. If your feet are sore, that's not good – back off a little next time around.

The post Heel Pain In Children May Be Sever's Disease appeared first on PA Foot & Ankle Associates.]]>
The never-ending growth spurts in children's feet are due to the fact that the foot is one of the first parts of the body to grow to full size. This speedy growth is accompanied by uneven development in the lower leg and ankle, making muscles and tendons very tight and the heel less flexible. This inflexibility exposes the heel to injury and places a lot of stress on the growth plate, a soft area at the end of the heel which eventually fuses with the heel bone (calcaneus).
Sever's Disease (calcaneal apophysitis), the most common cause of heel pain in children, is a painful inflammation of the heel's growth plate. The heel bone is not fully developed until age 14 or 15, and is constantly adding new bone at the growth plate (physis). When the growth plate is subjected to a lot of repetitive stress, like that in athletics, inflammation can develop.
It should be noted that the symptoms of heel pain in adults are different from heel pain in children. In adults, heel pain is usually at its worst in the morning and decreases or subsides as the tissue warms up with activity. But in children, heel pain usually doesn't diminish as the child moves around – in fact it may get much worse.
Fortunately, Sever's Disease is a temporary condition and with rest and treatment, symptoms will usually subside within 8 weeks. If the condition persists, it's important that your child sees a podiatrist for a thorough evaluation and treatment plan. The risk of recurrence of Sever's Disease diminishes with age and typically doesn't occur after 15, when foot growth is complete and the growth plate has fused to the rest of the heel bone.
If your child complains about heel pain, don't take it lightly, as early intervention and treatment by a podiatrist is key to a continued healthy development.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said today he had no hope of a fair trial if he is extradited to the US.
The 39-year-old Australian believes the US is preparing to indict him on espionage charges because of the leak of thousands of diplomatic cables.
Currently wanted in Sweden for alleged sex offences, which he denies, he was released from prison on bail yesterday and placed under house arrest.
Asked today if he had confidence in receiving a fair and unbiased trial if extradited to the US, he answered: "Absolutely not."
A spokeswoman for the US Department of Justice would say only that there was an "investigation into the WikiLeaks matter".
The whistleblower left Wandsworth Prison yesterday when a High Court judge upheld a decision to grant him bail before a full extradition hearing next year.
British lawyers acting on behalf of the Swedish authorities appealed against the original decision, made by a judge at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
Strict conditions attached to his bail include residing at Ellingham Hall, a country retreat on the Norfolk-Suffolk border owned by Vaughan Smith, the founder of London's Frontline journalism club.
Assange appeared confident and relaxed as he conducted a series of interviews today.
The former hacker said he was expecting further smears against him as soon as tonight, saying: "There's an allegation that the Swedish prosecution has leaked out selective parts of their file illegally."
But he said he was now looking forward to spending some time on the sprawling rural estate after his jail release.
"I'm going to go out into the country and do some fishing. It makes a very significant change compared to being in a basement in solitary confinement."
Meanwhile, however, he fears there could be an "illegal investigation" being carried out into him.
He said he had still not been given any evidence relating to allegations he sexually assaulted two women in Stockholm in August.
Certain institutions were "engaged in what appears to be, certainly a secret investigation, but appears also to be an illegal investigation," he said.
"We can see that by how certain people who are allegedly affiliated with us were contained at the US border and had their computers seized, and so on."
He added: "I would say that there is a very aggressive investigation, that a lot of face has been lost by some people, and some people have careers to make by pursuing famous cases. But that is actually something that needs monitoring."
He said his organisation had been attacked primarily not by governments but by banks in Dubai, Switzerland, the US and the UK and added that WikiLeaks was continuing to release information about the banks.
Assange added: "Over 85% of our economic resources are spent dealing with attacks, dealing with technical attacks, dealing with political attacks, dealing with legal attacks, not doing our journalism. And that, if you like, is a tax upon quality investigative journalism - an 85% tax rate on that kind of economic activity.
"Whereas people who are producing celebrity pieces for Vanity Fair have much lower tax rates."
Assange said he had support from a "large Washington law firm" and from "colleagues in California" but called for more help.
He said: "We need more, and not just at a reactive level."
Mr Smith said Assange had previously visited his house and was a good friend. He said he was convinced the Australian was not guilty of the charges against him and that he was allowing him to stay at his home as "an act of principle".
He said: "I knew Julian well and obviously it's a very contentious matter, and I love journalism.
"I felt it was important to make a stand and I was very concerned that Julian received justice, and I wanted to express my support."
He said he had not increased security at the property in light of his new guest.
Mr Smith added: "One's obviously conscious that there have been some very shrill statements urging people to kill Julian Assange which I think is very irresponsible.
"But we can't live in fear. I'm not prepared not to offer bail simply on some ungrounded fear for security.
"If the police fear there is a real threat of that I'm sure they will do what is necessary to protect me."

It was drugs
Horrible truth of Amy's O.D
Poor old Wino. Today's papers are alleging that her collapse in the early hours of Wednesday morning was not down to exhaustion, but a three day booze and drugs bender.
Apparently the Rehab star took a scary cocktail of drugs and drink including Ecstacy, cocaine, horse tranquilisers, vodka and whisky. After being rushed to hospital by her husband she was given an emergency adrenaline shot and had her stomach pumped.
Amy - we're worried about you, and we're not the only ones. Juliette Ashby, her best mate said:
"I've never seen her so f***ed up as she is now. The house has become a drugs den. It's filthy, covered in ash and the stench of rotting food. All her mates are terrified for her."
Let's hope this time she says 'yes, yes, yes!' to rehab.
Do you feel sorry for Amy? Should she check into rehab? Share your thoughts on the gossip forum.

Not receiving messages from TouchOSC
@lovelovevideo TouchOsc doesn't care whether it "sees" the laptop. You would need "bonjour" (from Apple) installed on the laptop for zeroconf "names" to be visible and chosen in TouchOsc. As long as you have TouchOsc set to send to an IP address on the network (that of the laptop of course........ and it's best to give it a fixed address) and to a port that is not used elsewhere (8000 and above is usually safe)..... it will send the messages.
Pd on the laptop needs to be listening on the same port, and needs to accept messages through the firewall (private for your network, public for messages from the internet). In the firewall it could be pd.exe or pd.com that needs to be "allowed".... depends on which executable is being called when you start your patch. Probably pd.exe if you have not changed anything in Pd's standard setup.
TouchOsc uses udp....... no verifiable connection is made as with tcp..... it just sends off the messages without caring whether they arrive. So the receiver needs to receive udp. If you have changed from extended to vanilla the objects you need are not the same as in extended!!!!
Check all of that, reboot your router just in case, and post again......
Drawing objects simplified

@jancsika I am impressed and interested, but I'm unable to have Purr Data and Pd-extended both set up on windows 10. I had to reinstall Pd-extended the last time I tried Purr Data
Well that's not good at all!
Question: what exactly happened to Pd-extended when you installed Purr Data? What broke?
Also, what version of Purr Data was it?
FYI-- I just tried with Beta 3 and it seems to work ok with Pd-extended 0.43.4. It does overwrite pdsend.exe, pdreceive.exe, cyclist.exe, and a handful of versioned libs which is a pain. I can probably get around the first three by just not shipping them. Nevertheless it doesn't seem to break anything
Compiling Pd-extended on Windows
Since in my first post I assume the problem with missing library files due to older versions of Visual Studio, I am trying to run the helloworld examples in Pd\pd-extended\doc\tutorials\externals-howto\example1. Even here, I run into problems
Using the Visual Studio compiler:
LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined
--> I checked the code, places the m_pd.h file in the same directory but still no success...
Using the MingW and Sysm compiler (with appropriate environment vars set):
gcc.exe: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
--> gcc.exe is to be found in my folder C:\MinGW\bin to which I have pointed the environment variables and rebooted my machine...
Anyone? Anything?
Stumped trying to calibrate/set a center point from a smartphone gyroscope to a mobmuplat knob
Details :
I set up my guitar/pedal smartphone app to read gyroscope values (x,y,z) and bend (turn the knobs) on preset pedal-effects, ex. gain, feedback, delay, pitch etc. Sort of a 3-d tremolo bar effect yet for any parameter I want.
That was all good and well and works great. However...
I am attempting to trigger a calibrate function/subpatch:
when the toggle is on it reads the x,y,z signals,
when you turn it off it triggers a [sel 0] and it sets the current values, ex [v curX]
which are then used to center the pedals on 0.5 (the center of my mobmuplat knobs)
So you turn it on, move your guitar around until its "centered", then click off and it stores those values and calibrates the incoming x, y, z accordingly.
I worked on this for about 8-10 hours and couldn't get it straight.
My smartphone rotates and sends out a signal (gravitationly based) for x y and z in the range of -1 to 1
My knobs are in the range of 0 to 1 with the middle at 0.5 (which is where I want them and apparently not as trivial as I thought).
I need to offset the curve (-1 to 1) so it "rests" around [v currX] etc values and thus is centered around the 0.5 of the knob.
How do I do that?
meaning how do I:
given an initial value, a, between the range of -1 to 1, set it so all future values between -1 and 1 rotate around that set/center point?
Thanks for your help.
I am very excited to get this done as I think it is way cool feature/effect for my rig.
peace. Look forward to your help.
Little help please: building my own compressor (updated below...)
Thank you, so much, David, for the quick and informative response. Glad to hear I am on the right track. Just wrote the following update. So will go ahead and include it here.
Couldn't sleep: "dreaming in pure data" yet again!
But DID figure out how to make the noisegate I wanted (see below).
By adding a "basement" (old MS Excel programmer concepts :---) sorry.)) you can/I did:
drop to 0 everything below the basement;
leave alone everything above it and below the floor;
boost what it is above the floor and below the ceiling;
and limit everything above the ceiling.
A VERY cheap and easy way to create the gate.
1 It loadbangs everything to 0 so you have to set the values to make it work;
2 Start with the ceiling and work down;
3 All the values are synchronized to the ceiling as percentages of its value, ex. 0.5 floor of a 0.5 ceiling equates to a 0.25 value (so if you change the ceiling all of the other values change accordingly);
4 The "meter" array on the right aligns with the "ramps" array on the left to calibrate the values;
5 The hradio shows in which "pocket" ex. "below basement", "below floor" etc., the current envelope is to better align the values.
Look in to how to incorporate the ADSR patch to include those values/attributes which I will look into next. But am pretty darn sure it can just be added on after the fact so speak as another patch after this one to change the tonality of the sound.
Peace. ALL comments more than welcome.
Tally Ho! Happy pd-ing.
Thinking...thinking...:is the soft knee what is happening with the/what I am calling [v compramp] i.e. how fast the ramp occurs?
I do know this is not the traditional way to approach compression. And am hoping to learn more as I look into the ADSR patch to see what it is doing. I think alot of what has made this hard(er) to grasp is the words have various shades of meaning (on the from above side and the below side ex. threshold-"Above it?" or "Below it?") Thanks again. Peace. I really do appreciate all the effort you put into this comment (and the community in general).
abs_4to16pads_bin_conv_sv: convert 4 (midi) pads from a binary value to a decimal (for rerouting)
Last week I made the (what I now know as "life-altering") commitment to buy (and did) my first usb+midi keyboard controller, a Samson Graphite M25. I have since set up my shop (since given my tools+configuration I could not use the Graphite Preset Editor and because everything works better if you get pd involved :---)) to run the kb into pd then into amsynth via jack, using pd as the midi interface: kb>pd>amsynth>out.
In the process, one thing I did was upgrade the 32 "pre", preset button knobs, to 120, using the ideas included in this abstraction: convert the 4 pads and their binary-ness into decimals, so I can then tell pd to make the knobs, 8x15, instead of 8x4 (the default PRE pad count), see below for clarification...
Requirement(s): Linux and shell external (though I am pretty sure a version using the "until" object is do-able, I did not find one and know the shell waaayyy better than until or even metro.
Synopsis: by pushing on various combinations of pads (could actually be any set of cc(?)'s) the resulting binary number is turned into a decimal which can then be used to re-route or set a different control, ex. PROG.
(from the _help file comments):
Purpose: convert binary values to decimals in order to simplify and expand the rerouting from one control to another, ex. from POLTYTOUCH to PROG.
The left inlet takes a routing/control value,;
ex. note/polytouch control, etc.;
the middle inlet takes the value from that control;
and the right inlet takes a bang to trigger/get/output;
the decimal equivalent.
4pad/trigger to 16 pad/trigger binary-to-decimal converter;
the patch converts the pressing of multiple pads;
to a binary number then to a decimal so that;
for ex. a 4 pad control can send signals from 1-15.
the "shell" external is required;
and the shell script, named:bin2dec_pd, is;
also required. It includes only a single line, echo "$((2#$1))".
FYI: in the polytouch instance, the control is looking for;
127 as a trigger value, so the pads must be pushed Completely down.
I DO believe a metro or until version;
of this is also possible but the shell was more expedient.;
Is it possible to execute an .exe from within Puredata
@0123456789_9876543210 Hi, I'm using [system] without exit to load 'Fluidsynth' as it doesn't close the command window anyway.
I've opened the same exe in the screenshot one with 'exit' which opens the exe and then closes the command window and then one without 'exit' which first opens the command window then the exe (this also pauses puredata until the exe is closed. So they wouldn't both be able to open if the one without 'exit was opened first. Weirdly it does however cache the attempts to open and then they open when the command window is closed
'start' and 'exit' are part of the windows command line batch file syntax
Cheers Balwyn
Is it possible to execute an .exe from within Puredata
@0123456789_9876543210 [system] works well, thank you. It does however open a command window but 'exit' fixes that.
@whale-av [sys_gui] working well now I've added the application path to the exe's output
I've noticed that I do not appear to need the tcl part of the message.
The main difference between the two methods is that [sys_gui] pauses Puredata until the exe is closed, a bit like a modal dialog box, which is perfect in this case.
here is the vb.net form1 code as a text file
Is it possible to execute an .exe from within Puredata
@Balwyn Yes, you could try setting both the paths in full. I was forgetting that your .exe is probably not in the Pd/bin folder (I use it a lot with "wish.exe" while I am trying to build widgets to link to a tcl popup)......... so you could try putting the executable in the "bin" folder.....
I am in the same boat as you and @monetus.. I can get tcl/tk to do stuff, especially if I write a plugin for what I am trying to achieve. I can get popups to write back to the $::focused_window....... and so place objects into the window from which the popup was actioned...... but those objects have to be defined in the plugin. The next step is to write what I want into the objects, and automate their connection back to the call that activated the popup....... I am away working on shows for a while, so I might have time during the days to get a bit further.
What I want, and you and Monetus really need is is an object like [sys_gui] that can receive variables that are asked for.......... then widgets can be created that can send user input or user selected input back to Pd. I am nearly there.... but I would not object if someone else manages it first!
Have a look at this thread......... http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10131/gui-plugins-where-are-redraw-colors-stored/7 where I posted more or less as far as I have travelled.....
Is it possible to execute an .exe from within Puredata
@gsagostinho No [shell] on windows I think, thanks anyway
@whale-av [exec the_program.exe $::sys_libdir/directory_under_pd/file.extension( to [sys_gui]
Brilliant! it works! Is this tcl witchcraft?
The program has an error writing the file, because its trying to access the puredata program folder.
Should I set the path in the exe (which would require a save as dialog) or is there something in the message I could change

Morning Breeze Cabin Rentals: Great lakefront House Rental
We needed a night away from home with a hot tub and a view, and found it at Morning Breeze Rentals---everything was handled online and by phone, and the key was in the lockbox when we arrived at the 2 bed 2 bath home on Lake Buckhorn near Ellijay. A small lake with about 5-6 homes total, it was gorgeous and private with a nice big hottub on the deck looking down at the lake. Big fireplace inside as well and cozy furniture including really good bedding ( a strong point with the wife!) They are pet friendly and wifi but we had neither this trip.......Just what we needed for about $240 including the cleaning fees!

Stressbuster Vacation Rentals: Best Value For Your Stay
Beautiful cabins/houses of all sizes, all you need are your clothes, toiletries, and food. There were even coloring books for the kids and toys for the dog. The price for a week was extremely reasonable, about the same as a really nice hotel. You just get to enjoy the privacy, views, and fishing off the back deck. Stressbuster Rentals were great to deal with and extremely friendly.
House/Cabins from 1 bedroom to 13 many different views and locations to choose from. Some allow pets, some don't.

Medigap is another name applied to health insurance policies commonly known as Medicare Supplements. Medigap Plans cover the gaps in Medicare coverage that are not covered by Medicare Parts A & B.
A Medigap Insurance Plan is not an alternative for Original Medicare like a Medicare Advantage Policy, but instead works with Original Medicare.

Ratings for Dr. Erik E. Alexander
Saw Dr. Alexander after my original Dr. retired. I had a severe incontinence problem and went through a series of scopes and two surgeries. After several visits, mostly with aides he wanted me to do self catheterizations to keep the flow moving. He said to keep doing this daily which I have done now for over a year. I have heard nothing from him for 13 month's, no follow-up or any other appointment, I was left on my own. Catheters can cause an infection and a follow-up appointment is certainly something that should have taken place but I guess he forgot all about me. Now my supply of catheters has stopped because he did not renew the prescription. It is time to see a concerning urologist.
Terrible bedside manner and explaining. Was very disappointed in him. Excellent surgeon but to me bedside manner so important. Changed doctors
I consulted this Dr. due to incontinence after prostate surgery. After testing, which itself was an ordeal, he informed me that there was no surgical option which would eliminate my problem. Instead, he prescribed a medication which did absolutely nothing for me. He then prescribed a second medication which had the side effect of short term memory loss. I did not take it and sought out another Urologist who recommended a surgical option which solved my dilemma
I called the Ironwood square office today to ask what the office visit fee was for a self-pay, new patient. She said "between $200 and $400". I said I just want to know the office visit portion of a self-pay, new patient exam, which would exclude any additional tests, etc. She then repeated "between $200 and $400". I then explained I didn't want the dollar range, I wanted to know the exact amount of a self-pay, new patient exam. I asked her what the range was based on so I could determine what I would pay. She refused to tell me. She just replied "because that is how it is set up - between $200 and $400". The tone of voice she was using was as if we were old enemies. She sounded extremely bothered and upset by my simple, reasonable question. I can't speak about the doctors here... I never made it that far. But I have to believe they are losing potential customers everyday if this type of behavior is the norm.
I spent most of my time with low level female medical assistants. No nurses here. Okay if you are female, could be uncomfortable if you are male. Doctor was very rushed.
My dad had prostate removed by Dr. Alexander and I was having prostate issues. Dad recommended Dr. Alexander to me, and I have been nothing but good things to say about Dr. Alexander and his staff. Very professional and personable.
Excellent doctor and staff. I have been seeing Dr. Alexander for over 5 years. Always attentive ans supportive. His handling of my high PSA readings, tests and Rx's have kept my enlarged prostate healthy and intact. Does seem rushed at times, but never to the extent that he does not answer all of my questions and concerns. Very good bedside manner, never arrogant or rude.
I saw Dr. Alexander when my prostate "locked down" and I was unable to download urine. He was very attentive and caring and spent more than 1 hour caring for my problems. He even called me on the weekend to see how I was doing. He gave me flomax and treated my infection it was very efficacious. I followed up with his PA who was just as good. Crystal his MA was fantastic. I would not hesitate to see him again.
I have seen Dr. Alexander several times, have always had a very good experience with him. Spends plenty of time with me, have sat in his personal office with him and gone over scheduling with him, nurse is great, receive calls to remind me of apointments. Great sence of humor.
I am surprised to see the positive reviews of this physician. He has the worst case of "hand on the doorknob" syndrome that I've ever seen. Dr. Alexander tries to signal that he doesn't have much time to talk to the patient by continually getting up and moving toward the door while they are trying to ask questions. I have had three separate appointments with him. The first two appointments lasted approximately 15 seconds each and the last appointment lasted 2 minutes. So I am currently scheduled for a procedure, and, despite my best efforts, I have no (non-internet) information about the particulars of the procedure, side effects, etc. When Dr. Alexander DOES respond to questions, he treats the patient as if they have an IQ of 60. This doctor epitomizes what is wrong with medicine today -- he is arrogant, disinterested, and trying to cram as many patients as possible into each hour to maximize his own compensation.

Had a good trip yesterday, the majority of it was on the A75 which is dual carriageway, unfortunately using local roads would have taken far too long. The road was fairly quiet but as the altitude increased so did the thickness of fog which we were in for about 30 miles then we were back in brilliant sunshine.

Michael Mann is returning to his roots with a gritty new cop thriller titled "The Big Stone Grid".
Deadline say the film is…
…about two decorated detectives who uncover a terrifying extortion ring that operates within the secret underbelly of New York City. The plan is for Mann to do a pass with the scribe, but don't be surprised if he relocates the action to L.A., where he made such crime sagas as Heat and Collateral.
Next for the filmmaker, "Go Like Hell", about the sports car competition between Ford and Ferrari in the '60s.

So Easy by Ellie Krieger, includes health-conscious recipes like Cheddar-Apple Quesadilla; Ham & Cheese Panini; and Panzanella with Chicken Sausage.
Makes 4 Servings
Serving Size: 1 Quesadilla
The combination of sharp, rich cheddar with sweet tart apples always wins me over. It's classic yet somehow unique, especially when grilled up in a flour tortilla, so the cheese melts and the apple softens slightly. This takes less than 5 minutes to whip up and will leave you feeling great all morning.
Per Serving: Calories 280; Total Fat 12 G; Sat Fat 6 G; Mono Fat 3 G; Poly Fat 0 G; Protein 10 G; Carb 29 G; Fiber 3 G; Cholesterol 25 Mg; Sodium 350 Mg
Excellent Source of Calcium, Protein
Good Source of Fiber, Phosphorus
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Fan out the apple slices over the bottom half of each tortilla and top with the cheddar cheese. Fold the tortillas in half. Working in batches, place the quesadillas in the skillet and weigh them down with a smaller heavy skillet or an ovenproof plate topped with a heavy can. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown, about 1-1/2 minutes per side. Cut in half and eat warm.

Days after George Zimmerman was freed on bail to await a second-degree murder trial for shooting Trayvon Martin, Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother, says she's "willing to wait for justice to be served" in her son's case.
Speaking with Tell Me More host Michel Martin, Fulton also says that she feels like "I have a little hole in my heart. And that little hole is caused by the tragedy of Trayvon's death."
The Trayvon Martin case has sparked a national debate on topics ranging from race and teen fashion to gun control and self-defense laws, after the unarmed teenager was killed in February.
Along with Benjamin Crump, the attorney working with Martin's parents, Fulton spoke with Martin at NPR's studios. Excerpts from their interview are below.
Interview Highlights
On the police's treatment of Zimmerman:
"I feel, by him being arrested, that we are moving into the right direction. I certainly feel that he should have been arrested at the scene. But he was not; he was arrested some 44 days later. But I do think that it was justified that he be arrested."
On facing a lengthy trial process:
"If it takes me the rest of my life, I am dedicated and committed to getting justice. So, I can wait a year. If that's the process, the proper process that it has to take, I'm willing to wait for justice to be served."
On the role of race in the Martin case:
"I have said before that it's not about black and white. And as I look in the crowds when we're at the rallies and at the different church services and things like that, I notice that it's not just African-American people. It's not just black people that are there. There are Spanish people, there are white people, there are Mexican people, Cuban people — there are people from all across the globe. So, that indicates to me that it's not just about African-Americans."
On Zimmerman's apology at his bond hearing:
Fulton refers the question to Benjamin Crump, who says:
"It was such an inappropriate time to do that. It was requested by his attorney right before the bond hearing — could he have a private meeting to apologize. Well, he had almost 49 days to come forward. And then on the 50th day, he comes forth and says, 'I want to apologize.'
"Well, we think that's very insincere, when you think of all the opportunities he had to apologize.
"It seems you have an ulterior motive to say I'm sorry when I'm trying to ask the judge to let me out of jail.
"… We believe, had Trayvon Martin shot George Zimmerman and the shoe been on the other foot, that Trayvon Martin would not have been given a bond."
On Trayvon Martin inspiring activism:
"When we went into it, we went into it with a focus. And our focus was to get justice for Trayvon. It does help to see so many people that's supporting us … Just to see support from other parents and other individuals that are concerned; it helps a lot."
On Mother's Day:
"My mother is still living, so of course I'm going to take care of my mother, and make sure that she has flowers and a gift, and just spend time with my mother. My kids usually spend time with me …
"It probably will be a … point in that day that I would of course think about Trayvon and what he's done for me in the past, and how I'm going to miss him in the future."

A TV Review by Mike Tooney: PETER GUNN "Let's Kill Timothy."Posted by Steve under Old Time Radio , Reviews , TV mysteries
[2] Comments
"Let's Kill Timothy." An episode of Peter Gunn (Season 1, Episode 17). First air date: 19 January 1959. Craig Stevens (Peter Gunn), Lola Albright (Edie Hart), Herschel Bernardi (Lieutenant Jacoby), Hope Emerson (Mother), Mel Leonard (Casper Wellington), Henry Corden (Vladimir Sokolawsky), Arthur Hanson (George Tate), Frank Richards (Tiny Walsh), Peter Brocco (Sam the drunk), David McMahon (Mike the desk sergeant). Story: Blake Edwards. Teleplay: Lewis Reed. Director: Blake Edwards.
Timothy is a most unusual individual: modest, unassuming, reticent to a fault. He is also many things to many people.
To Peter Gunn, Timothy is an unexpected baby sitting charge. To Lieutenant Jacoby, he's a "thing" that indecorously invades his office.
To Casper Wellington, Timothy is both a friend and the way to fabulous wealth, while to George Tate and Tiny Walsh he's worth kidnapping and gutting like a fish.
But through it all Timothy maintains his composure. He may be a little guy � three feet tall and three hundred pounds — but he can fend for himself. Of course, practically no one can ward off two burly brutes intent on kidnapping; when that happens, even his foreflippers are of no avail.
You know, if things keep going the way they have been, Timothy could soon be up on a grand theft felony charge. You have to wonder if the California penal system is capable of providing enough fish for an upwardly mobile but healthy young seal ….
The normally drop dead serious Peter Gunn series veers into comedy with this one, and the whole thing works beautifully as director-creator-writer Blake Edwards shows he can do funny stuff with the mystery genre. Maybe this was him warming up for Inspector Clouseau.
The best scene is at the police station, first with a drunk being booked, and then in Jacoby's office when Gunn leads Timothy in, who immediately makes himself at home by flopping down on the couch. Gunn and Jacoby have an entire conversation without Jacoby once referring to the seal until the very end, but even then he doesn't state the obvious � a nice piece of underplaying by everybody concerned.
When Gunn is trying to locate Casper Wellington, he goes to one of his snitches, "artist" Vladimir Sokolawsky (Henry Corden), who is as surreal as any of his "artwork." Like Victor Buono, Corden (1920-2005) could always do over-the-top superbly, and in his one bizarre scene he nearly steals the show.
Mother was played in 25 Peter Gunn episodes by a fine character actress, Hope Emerson (1897-1960). In this show, she gets to "sing" "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?" � but the less said about that the better. (You've been warned.)
Note: According to the Internet Movie Database, this Peter Gunn episode was based on a Richard Diamond radio program, "Timothy the Seal" (5 February 1950).
Editorial Comments: Click on the link provided to listen to the radio program that Mike mentions. The series, which starred Dick Powell as medium-boiled PI Richard Diamond, was on radio for several years. Many more episodes can be found here: http://www.archive.org/details/RichardDiamond2.
The movie Gunn was reviewed here on this blog by Dan Stumpf about a month ago.

Delhi has developed sore eyes. The baking sun, along with grime and dust, has made the city prone to infections like never before. The exceedingly contagious, viral conjunctivitis is at its best, ringing bells in the city.
Prone to occur mainly in April and May, the epidemic is in the air.
As we are welcoming monsoon showers, the capital's eye hospitals have estimated at least 30 per cent of their patients suffer from conjunctivitis or pink eye. Students and office-goers are supposedly its initial flag holders.
Waking up in the morning, eyes seem to have been hijacked by a monster which must be given a goodbye wave.
Rockland Hospital's Ophthalmologist Dr Tarun Kapoor says, "People must start taking all kind of precautions, so that they don't fall in this watery trap of infections. It is imperative to remember that conjunctivitis or pink eye is an infection and use of any kind of steroid must be avoided till the time it is not confirmed that the infection is allergic in nature".
"Going directly to the chemist is not the right approach and one must, without wasting much time, consult an eye specialist", Kapoor added.
Worse, it is only when complications start taking its toil people seek medical help.
Dr Rajiv Erry, Paras hospital's medical specialist says that the warning signs of conjunctivitis or pink eye are redness and puss discharge from the eye.
"It is a viral infection, however if it doubles up as a bacterial infection (i.e the infections spreads in the inner chamber), it can affect the cornea," warns Erry.
Dr. Parul M. Sharma, Senior consultant eye surgeon, Max Hospital advices, "Choose the right sunglasses and wear them whenever you are outside. Make sure they block 90 to 100 per cent UVA and UVB rays".
One must not ignore redness of the eye or cloudy vision. "Antibiotic eye drops and eye ointments work well for this ailment," she adds.
Make sure you don't touch your eyes with dirty hands and here goes the obvious- a clean cloth must always be kept handy, suggests Kapoor.
With the monsoons, the capital's eye hospitals have estimated that atleast 30 percent of their patients suffer from conjunctivitis.read more
If a pregnant woman catches conjunctivitis it is definitely a compromised situation. Find out all about it and what you should do at such times.read more

in my mind you're real
yet no one can see you
my heart belongs to you
yet you just suck it dry
everything about you is so surreal
and i know love is what i feel
you have stolen my heart in a fairy-tale world
hideous in comparison with prince charming
fantasy and reality not that far away
but this forbidden love could never be
