Chapter 12 Circulatory Disturbances
Learning Objectives Venous thrombosis: causes and effects Pulmonary embolism: pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic techniques Arterial thrombosis: causes and effects Edema and factors regulating fluid circulation between capillaries and interstitial tissue (hydrostatic pressure, capillary permeability, osmotic pressure, open lymphatic channel) Hypercoagulable state Shock: pathogenesis and treatment
Intravascular Blood Clots Normally, blood does not clot within the vascular system Pathogenesis of intravascular clotting –1. Slowing or stasis of blood flow –2. Blood vessel wall damage –3. Increased coagulability of blood Thrombus: an intravascular clot; can occur in any vessel or within the heart Embolus: a detached clot carried into pulmonary or systemic circulation; plugs vessel of smaller caliber than diameter of clot, blocking blood flow and causing necrosis Infarct: tissue necrosis from interruption in blood flow
Embolism (1 of 5) From blood clots, fat, air, amnionic fluid, and foreign particles Fat embolism –Following severe bone fracture that disrupts fatty bone marrow and surrounding adipose tissue –Emulsified fat globules sucked into veins and carried into lungs, obstructing pulmonary capillaries –If it reaches systemic circulation, eventually blocks small vessels in brain and other organs
Embolism (2 of 5) Air embolism –Large amount of air sucked into circulation from lung injury due to a chest wound –May be accidentally injected into circulation –Air carried into right heart chambers and prevents filling of heart by returning venous blood –Heart unable to pump blood and individual dies rapidly of circulatory failure
Embolism (3 of 5) Amnionic fluid embolism –Devastating complication of pregnancy –Amnionic fluid enters maternal circulation through a tear in fetal membranes –Fetal cells, hair, fat, and amniotic debris fluid block maternal pulmonary capillaries causing severe respiratory distress –Thromboplastic material in fluid activates coagulation mechanism leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome
Embolism (4 of 5) Foreign particulate matter embolism –Various types of particulate material –May be injected by substance users that crush and dissolve tablets intended for oral use –Material injected intravenously and is trapped within small pulmonary blood vessels –Symptoms of severe respiratory distress
Embolism (5 of 5) Septic emboli –Thrombi form in pelvic vein following uterine infection –Bacteria invade thrombi –Emboli from infected thrombus travel to lungs, causing pulmonary infarct –Bacteria in clot invade pulmonary infarct causing lung abscess
Venous Thrombosis Predisposing factors to clot formation in leg veins –Prolonged bed rest –Cramped position for an extended period –Impaired "milking action" of leg musculature that normally promotes venous return resulting in stasis of blood in veins –Varicose veins or any condition preventing normal emptying of veins Outcome –Leg swelling from partial blockage of venous return in leg –Pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary Embolism (1 of 5) Clinical manifestations depend on size of embolus and where it lodges in the pulmonary artery Large pulmonary emboli may completely block main pulmonary artery or major branches obstructing blood flow to lungs Lung not infarcted due to collateral blood flow from bronchial arteries (from descending aorta) that interconnect with pulmonary arteries via collateral channels Cyanosis and shortness of breath due to inadequate oxygenation of blood
Pulmonary Embolism (2 of 5) Large pulmonary emboli –1. Right side of heart becomes distended –2. Pulmonary artery becomes overdistended with blood, causing increased pulmonary pressure –3. Left ventricle unable to pump adequate blood to brain and vital organs –4. Systemic blood pressure falls and patient may go into shock
Pulmonary Embolism (3 of 5) Small pulmonary emboli –Small emboli may pass through main pulmonary arteries, becoming impacted in peripheral arteries supplying lower lobes of the lungs –Raises pulmonary pressure and inadequate collateral circulation –Affected lung segment undergoes necrosis; wedge- shaped pulmonary infarct –If infarct develops: dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, cough, and expectoration of bloody sputum due to leakage of blood from infarcted lung tissue into bronchi
Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary Embolism (4 of 5) Diagnosis –Chest X-ray: detects infarct but not the embolus –Radioisotope lung scans: detects abnormal pulmonary blood flow caused by embolus –Pulmonary angiogram (gold standard): detects blocked pulmonary artery –Computed tomography (CT) scan: detects pulmonary embolus indicated by obstructed flow of contrast medium, information comparable to pulmonary angiography without requiring insertion of catheter in pulmonary artery
Chest X-ray Lung Scan
Pulmonary Angiography
Pulmonary Embolism (5 of 5) Treatment –Anticoagulants: heparin initially followed by coumadin –Thrombolytic drugs if with massive embolus –Angioplasty (balloon or stent to widen vein) –Thrombectomy (clot extraction surgery) –General supportive care
Arterial Thrombosis (1 of 2) Stasis is not a factor due to rapid blood flow and high intravascular pressure Main cause: injury to vessel wall from arteriosclerosis, causing ulceration, roughening of arterial with thrombi formation Blocks blood flow –Coronary artery: myocardial infarction –Major leg artery: gangrene –Cerebral artery: stroke
Arterial Thrombosis (2 of 2) Intracardiac thrombosis – Clot forms Within atrial appendages: heart failure Surfaces of heart valves: valve injury Wall of left ventricle: myocardial infarction –May dislodge into systemic circulation and cause infarction: spleen, kidneys, brain
Thrombosis by Increased Coagulability (1 of 2) 1. Rise in coagulation factors following surgery or injury 2. Estrogen in contraceptive pills stimulates synthesis of clotting factors 3. Hereditary gene mutations –Mutation of gene that codes for factor V results in abnormal factor V Leiden: more resistant to inactivation, prolonged activity, increased coagulability –Mutation of gene regulating prothrombin synthesis –Risk for venous thrombosis increases as prothrombin level rises
Thrombosis by Increased Coagulability (2 of 2) 4. Thrombosis in patients with cancer, from increased platelets and coagulation factors –Predisposes to both arterial and venous thromboses –Hypercoagulability due to rapid release of thromboplastic materials into circulation from tumor deposits –Platelets and coagulation factors consumed faster than can be replenished, leading to bleeding –Large tumors release thromboplastic material slowly but continuously; production of coagulation factors exceeds destruction leading to hypercoagulability
Edema Accumulation of fluid in interstitial tissues, first noted in ankles and legs Results from disturbance of extracellular fluid circulation between capillaries and interstitial tissues Pitting edema: pit or indentation formed when edematous tissue is compressed with the fingertips Hydrothorax: fluid accumulates in pleural cavity Ascites: fluid accumulates in peritoneal cavity
Figure 19.17 HP = hydrostatic pressure Due to fluid pressing against a wall "Pushes" In capillary (HP c ) Pushes fluid out of capillary 35 mm Hg at arterial end and 17 mm Hg at venous end of capillary in this example In interstitial fluid (HP if ) Pushes fluid into capillary 0 mm Hg in this example OP = osmotic pressure Due to presence of nondiffusible solutes (e.g., plasma proteins) "Sucks" In capillary (OP c ) Pulls fluid into capillary 26 mm Hg in this example In interstitial fluid (OP if ) Pulls fluid out of capillary 1 mm Hg in this example Arteriole Capillary Interstitial fluid Net HP—Net OP (35—0)—(26—1) Net HP—Net OP (17—0)—(26—1) Venule NFP (net filtration pressure) is 10 mm Hg; fluid moves out NFP is ~8 mm Hg; fluid moves in Net HP 35 mm Net OP 25 mm Net HP 17 mm Net OP 25 mm
Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) NFP—comprises all the forces acting on a capillary bed NFP = (HP c —HP if )—(OP c —OP if ) At the arterial end of a bed, hydrostatic forces dominate At the venous end, osmotic forces dominate Excess fluid is returned to the blood via the lymphatic system
Figure 20.1
Pathogenesis of Edema Increased capillary permeability –Causes swelling of tissues with acute inflammation –Increase in capillary permeability from some systemic diseases Low plasma proteins –Excess protein loss (kidney disease) –Inadequate synthesis (malnutrition) Increased hydrostatic pressure –Heart failure –Localized venous obstruction Lymphatic obstruction
Factors Regulating Fluid Flow Between Capillaries and Interstitial Tissue 1. Capillary hydrostatic pressure: force pushing fluid from capillaries into extracellular space 2. Capillary permeability: determines ease of fluid flow through capillary endothelium 3. Osmotic pressure: water-attracting property of a solution; exerted by proteins in the blood (colloid osmotic pressure) that attract fluid from interstitial space back into the capillaries 4. Open lymphatic channels: collect fluid forced out of the capillaries by the hydrostatic pressure and return fluid into circulation

Circulatory Shock Any condition in which –Blood vessels are inadequately filled –Blood cannot circulate normally Results in inadequate blood flow to meet tissue needs
Circulatory Shock Hypovolemic shock: results from large- scale blood loss Vascular shock: results from extreme vasodilation and decreased peripheral resistance Cardiogenic shock results when an inefficient heart cannot sustain adequate circulation
Shock (1 of 2) Low blood flow/pressure to adequately supply body with blood; potentially life-threatening; circulating blood volume < capacity of vascular system Categories according to pathogenesis –Hypovolemic shock: low blood volume –Cardiogenic shock: reduced cardiac output –Septic shock: excessive vasodilatation secondary to release of microbial toxins and inflammatory mediators –Anaphylactic shock: excessive vasodilatation from release of inflammatory mediators
Shock (2 of 2) Prognosis depends on early recognition and rapid appropriate treatment –Drugs that promote vasoconstriction –Use of intravenous fluids or blood to restore blood volume secondary to fluid loss or hemorrhage –Treat underlying cause

Optineurin gene encodes the coiled-coil containing protein optineurin. Optineurin may play a role in normal-tension glaucoma and adult-onset primary open angle glaucoma. Optineurin interacts with adenovirus E3-14.7K protein and may utilize tumor necrosis factor-alpha or Fas-ligand pathways to mediate apoptosis, inflammation or vasoconstriction. Optineurin may also function in cellular morphogenesis and membrane trafficking, vesicle trafficking, and transcription activation through its interactions with the RAB8, huntingtin, and transcription factor IIIA proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.

Jumbo grilled polish sausages and Vienna Beef hot dogs lead a very popular menu including a unique and colorful array of condiments to compliment every sandwich and salad creation. Murphy's Red Hots is located just a few blocks from Wrigley Field; this northside hot dog emporium is a great place to carry out when going to the ball game.
Tsunami Dogs
TSUNAMI DOGS food stand sits at the entrance to a parking lot in Berkeley, CA. The Asian-themed hot dog eatery features a very unique menu. On top of a beef, Polish, turkey, chicken apple, or vegetarian frank, lunch-goers can choose from a long list of toppings. Standard condiment options are included in the price of a hot dog, but for an extra charge, customers can add rainbow kale salad, roasted seaweed, Asian dried pork sung, cucumber kimchee, or one of their countless other add-ons. Gluten-free options are also available, along with tacos and quesadillas.
Zack's Hot Dogs
Zack's Hot Dogs is a fast-casual restaurant featuring over 30 unique hot dogs from around the country as well as our own creations along with sandwiches, burgers, homemade sides and french fries served with our own Utah style dipping sauce. We use only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, made from scratch every single day with no artificial flavoring or bases – just all natural real homemade food.
Atomic Dawg
Ever since he was a kid, Joel Bacow, owner of Atomic Dawg Sausage Emporium in Berkley, MI loved hot dogs. Bacow was a successful record producer for close to 30 years, but always hoped to start a restaurant built around the ever-popular tube steak.
The theme for Bacow's restaurant dates to 1982, when George Clinton's Atomic Dog became one of Bacow's favorite songs. His retro-inspired diner features gourmet hot dogs and sausages, sandwiches, burgers, veggie burgers, milkshakes and more.
Bacow's emporium is fun inside. The dotted hanging lights, chrome stools and other items are originals from the 1940s and 50s. The scratched wooden floors and old brick walls show the house's age, especially in the two colorful rooms upstairs seating 36. Fourteen diners can sit in the grill area downstairs.
Walter's Hot Dog Stand
Walter's Hot Dogs, a Westchester institution and nationally registered historical landmark, has been serving their world-famous hot dog since 1919. An exclusive blend of beef, pork and veal, Walter's hot dogs are split down the middle, grilled in a "secret sauce," and served on a toasted bun with Walter's signature mustard: a blend of choice mustard seeds, relish and spices. The building itself was established in 1928 on Palmer Avenue in Mamaroneck, New York and is a copper-roofed Chinese pagoda that has been drawing long lines and loyal patrons ever since. Voted No. 1 in the country by Gourmet magazine in 2001, the hot dog here has received praise from top outlets.
In 2004, The New York Times writer R.W. Apple Jr. highlighted Walter's as "topping the whole list" of noteworthy dogs across the country; in 2014, Westchester magazine featured Walter's on the cover of their "Westchester Bucket List" issue for the "iconic split and griddled treats" and "Chinese temple of a hot dog stand." But the accolades that have meant the most to the fourth-generation family business have been from customers around the world. Loyal guests continue to send postcards to the 95 year old business from travels as far as Nepal, South Korea and Vietnam detailing their cravings for a Walter's hot dog.

Opioid substitution treatment: Russia and OST |
Currently there is no access to substitution therapy is Russia. This is due to legal prohibition and the lack of support for substitution therapy by drug treatment specialists and law enforcement. ARF is the key national organization to advocate for the introduction of the evidence-based substitution treatment (ST) of drug dependence which is prohibited in Russia


text: While indications for the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and its associated risks and benefits are extensively investigated, the best strategy for the withdrawal of NCPAP remains unknown. In a survey of Australian and New Zealand Neonatologists, 56% stated that their approach to NCPAP weaning was "ad hoc" (Jardine 2008). At what point an infant is considered stable enough to attempt to start withdrawing their NCPAP is not clearly established. The criteria for a failed attempt at NCPAP withdrawal is also not clear.

Can personal psychic readings give clear guidance on life, love and emotional health?
I was at a local occult store that offered personal psychic readings two days ago.
I had this feeling that it was important that I be there. Not that day, specifically, but that my general presence in that store would be very interesting and worthwhile. Suddenly, I saw a woman sitting on a chair. I stopped walking. It was like everything pointed at her, with big neon lights. Everything about the energy she was giving off just said "I need help".
I stared at her for a few seconds.
"Hello," I said.
She politely returned the greeting, and asked if she was blocking my view of the bookshelf behind her. I told her that she wasn't.
I didn't move. I had no idea how to approach a stranger in an environment like this. I had given messages to people on the street before, or cashiers, but this was somehow harder. I could feel her anxiety.
I sat down next to her and I told her that she was very sensitive, and that she was very anxious. The woman was very defensive; she didn't want to seem vulnerable, especially to a random goth girl that had just left her teenage years. She told me that she desperately needed to tell someone something. I told her that I knew she did. I also said that her desire to share a problem which was clearly causing her stress, was something that I could feel as soon as I saw her.
She thanked me for approaching her and offering to let her explain at her own pace. She was glad that I wanted to give her a chance to open up to me instead of just reading her, but that she was waiting for an appointment with Shauna. I figured that she had been waiting around for an appointment, but in that moment that she said the name "Shauna," I saw the concept of professional psychics and personal psychic readings in a completely new light.
By feeling what another individual feels as an empath, or feeling the nature of the world very strongly as a psychic, one is able to comfort or offer aid to another human much better than an individual who is not as in tune with the world, who is not as in tune with the energy of others. Personal psychic readings could be seen as a deeper level of therapy, rather than the stigmatized phenomena that popular culture sees it now.
These sessions can even be done through modern technology. Sites that offer personal psychic readings have portfolios of humans that you could see if you feel comfortable discussing the world, your past, and your future too.
I'm living proof that personal psychic readings can be held through technology. I mostly work through touching of one's palms or face, but recently I was taught by another psychic/empath how to read a person's past, present and general future through a photograph.
Initially, when I was reading people constantly in real life and through the internet, I behaved very stupidly. I was hounded with requests for readings, and I rarely asked for money. It was very draining, and I wasn't cleaning my aura or balancing my energy afterwards. By not taking these precautions, I was letting everyone's trauma and problems stain me. Just ask my roommate. During that time, she often found me in bed, crying or unmoving, with a pint of Greek chocolate frozen yogurt beside me.
With great power comes great responsibility (thank you Uncle Ben), and if you're going to be handling everyone's pasts, presents, and futures at a semi-constant rate, you'd best not take your work home with you. Psychics and Empaths have worked really hard to build themselves up to a point where they can handle their ability to dive into another person through a personal psychic reading, but they can also pull themselves out of the other individual, wash themselves off, and live their own lives. Many psychics and empaths use buffers, such as mirrors, crystal balls, and water bowls as a means of personal safety. It's a different and much deeper approach to human connection than most people are used to. And it's a skill that has to be tapped into, not memorized in a textbook.
There's a psychic man that I view as an important mentor in my life, that once made a cheeky comment about psychics being exploited over the internet by doing personal psychic readings. I'm realizing now that I politely disagree with his attitude. His spiritual direction takes him down a different path, and I understand that. But I also appreciate how strong the humans on good sites that offer personal psychic readings are, because of their constant desire to help give some relief to another human.
When you're at a dinner table with your family next Thanksgiving, and your nephew says that he works as a professional on-call psychic, instead of laughing at him and making jokes with the rest of your family, remember all the times that he knew that something was wrong with you, and the times that he felt extremely overwhelmed with everything that he was feeling from the world. Can you recall all the times he felt so drained, as a result of feeling every human's energy within his general proximity? Remember how he was growing up, how genuinely caring he is as a person, and be glad that he's learned to balance his energy, and take care of himself and his gifts.

a while ago i found the luahistory plugin. it's absolutely wonderful! so quick to go to previous folders.
i would love to have that same functionality to find files in the panel view.
that's partly because the folder search is so quick and easy, partly because i also use Salamander and that has a substring search for files its panel view, and partly because i hate having to press Alt to start the filename search.
(yes, there is a plugin to flip Alt, but i'm using the latest 64-bit far manager and i can't get that plugin to work)
but a search for files in the same panel (current directory) would be great. is such a thing possible?
better searching in panel

Muslim graves at Christchurch Cemetery, Newport, desecrated by racist vandals
MUSLIM graves at a Newport cemetery have been desecrated with racist graffiti.
The vandals used white paint to write "Lee Rigby murder", "white power" and drew swastikas on four gravestones at Christchurch Cemetery.
They also wrote the initials of the British National Party (BNP), the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and the National Front (NF).
People visiting nearby graves spoke of their disgust and shock at seeing the painted messages, which were still wet this morning.
Julie Thomas and her 89-year-old aunt Elfriede Robinson were visiting the grave of Mrs Robinson's husband George nearby.
"I think it's absolutely disgusting," said Mrs Thomas, 51, who lives in Christchurch.
"These people are dead and gone now, what is the point? It is the ultimate disrespect. What's next? My aunt is quite upset by the swastikas, she is German and has lived here for 60 years."
Paul Burgoyne, 47, his wife Jill, 45, and their 19-year-old daughter Deanna, who were visiting his father Melville's grave, said cemeteries are neutral places.
"Political views should stay outside cemeteries because the dead can't answer," said Mr Burgoyne. "This is consecrated ground. You can only see a name on a grave and what's in a name, you don't know their backgrounds."
Mrs Burgoyne said: "My husband has French and Irish ancestry, what if they take a dislike to French people? How upset would we be if someone had done that to us?"
Marc Collins, his mother Kay and his three-year-old son Olly were on their way to place flowers on the grave of his father Keith Collins when they drove past the vandalised headstones.
"It is absolutely disgusting and appalling, and we don't agree with it or condone it," said Mrs Collins, 64. "If the relatives were here I would go up and apologise."
Mr Collins, 35, said: "We come here every week and usually there are people at those graves at the same time as us. If it happened to us we would be very angry and upset, and we feel ashamed."
Paul Hemmings, 46, who had driven more than 200 miles from London with his wife to visit his father's grave, said he had never been so angry after seeing the messages.
"I am embarrassed to be white and to be British," said Mr Hemmings, who is originally from Newport. "These moronic buffoons ought to be ashamed of themselves. What has religion got to do with absolutely anything? Islamaphobia has gone far too far, you can't be Christian if you are doing this."
The group of 15 newly dug graves are in a separate area of the western side of Christchurch Cemetery.
Superintendent of Newport cemeteries, Charles Dare, said there are six Muslim plots in St Woolos cemeteries and apart from an incident 20 years ago when the headstones were pushed over, nothing like this has happened before.
Newport council's graffiti team were trying to remove the messages when Gwent Police arrived at the scene, around noon yesterday.
A police spokesman said: "We are working with the council to get the graffiti removed and contacting the relatives of the graves that have been affected."
Anyone with information is asked to call Gwent Police on 101.

Brad Watson (Author, University of Wyoming, Laramie)
Sign up for the monthly New Releases email.
Please enter a valid email address.
Finalist for the 2011 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction: "Watson's talent is singular, truly awesome; [his stories] are infused with an uncanny beauty."—A. M. Homes
In this, his first collection of stories since his celebrated, award-winning Last Days of the Dog-Men, Brad Watson takes us even deeper into the riotous, appalling, and mournful oddity of human beings. In prose so perfectly pitched as to suggest some celestial harmony, he writes about every kind of domestic discord: unruly or distant children, alienated spouses, domestic abuse, loneliness, death, divorce. In his masterful title novella, a freshly married teenaged couple are visited by an unusual pair of inmates from a nearby insane asylum—and find out exactly how mismatched they really are. With exquisite tenderness, Watson relates the brutality of both nature and human nature. There's no question about it. Brad Watson writes so well—with such an all-seeing, six-dimensional view of human hopes, inadequacies, and rare grace—that he must be an extraterrestrial.
"Consistently delivers that elusive element great Southern writers have always brought to the table—a delicious sense of the unexpected." — Kirkus Reviews
"Watson is a master at hairpin plot turns, and his characters come alive on the page." — Publishers Weekly
"Essential reading and highly recommended." — Library Journal
"Powerful stories." — Booklist
"Precise, surprising . . . gorgeously turned sentences." — Pam Houston, author of Cowboys Are My Weakness

Justice Adekanye Ogunmoye of a High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti on Friday jailed a casual labourer, Innocent Eze for eight years for raping a twelve-year-old girl.
Eze, an indigene of Nsukka, Enugu State, bagged one year for indecent assault and seven years for the defilement, the two counts which, according to the judgment were contrary to Sections 360 and 218 of the Criminal Code Act, Cap C38, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
Justice Adekanye, in his judgment, recalled that the convict, on August 31, 2011, in Ijan-Ekiti, had seized the young girl who had just assisted him to fetch water from a well, threw her onto his bed and raped her.
He, according to the judgment, later stuffed a handkerchief in the violated girl's private part when blood started oozing out after the act and also gave her N100 to "buy drugs."
The judgment read in part: "This is definitely a barbaric act and the sentence must be such as would serve as deterrent to the convict and others who still harbor similar tendencies.
"Accordingly, my sentence on the convict is that he is sentenced to 1 year imprisonment in count 1 and he is also sentenced to 7 years imprisonment in count 2. Terms are concurrent."
Justice Adekanye said: "It's unfortunate that a 12-year-old girl would have been sexually defiled as was done to the victim in this case. It is more unfortunate that the matter came to the public domain.
"The convict by his act had succeeded in placing a stigma on the person of the victim, which may take a long time to erase. The trauma suffered by the victim is definitely such as would take a longer time to forget.
"The act of the convict is not such as should be encouraged. This is definitely a barbaric act and the sentence must be such as would serve as deterrence to the convict and others who still harbour similar tendencies."

August 9, 2010 at 3:53 pm #32107Hey,
The default view on the demo is the Detailed view – what's your site URL?
Support questions are generally answered Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm (GMT +1), sometimes outside these hours. Posts are answered in the order received. You should receive an answer within 1 working day of posting.
August 9, 2010 at 8:07 pm #32108Hi and thanks for the answer.
i just visited the demo and saw that the "compact" view is the default display as it is in the theme i bought from theme forest
take a look at it here:
http://ahuzat.webmagazine.co.il/ .
my client prefers to display only the detailed option so after configuring that i want to remove the div that contains this three buttons with a
a display none css class.
sorry for the bad English.
August 10, 2010 at 1:30 pm #32109Hey!
To hide the buttons, open up style.css, find this code:
.display_buttons {
display:none !important;
}and replace it with this code:
.display_buttons { display:none !important; }
August 10, 2010 at 1:58 pm #32110Hi;
i know how to make the buttons desapear –
but HOW DO I CONFIGURE THE DETAILED OPTION AS THE DEFAULT ONE?
August 11, 2010 at 1:05 pm #32111The "Detailed" option is the default (image & text as per the demo).
I've checked your site as well and the "Detailed" view is the default on loading. If you don't mean the "Detailed" view, please compare the options on the demo and let me know which view it is you'd like.
August 11, 2010 at 2:02 pm #32112James did you clear your cookie cache – Expose creates one so the user doesn't need to change his prefered style everytime he loads the page. Maybe you chose Detailed view some time ago and now it appears as "default" view to you.
If I delete the cookie named "gallery_display" my default view is "Compact".

Author's infos

Posted Sun 2nd of October 2005
ever get turned on by the geeks?
As he walked into the library, the first thing he noticed was the librarian. She was a quiet, timid woman, someone whose husband always took her in the missionary position, with it all over in forty five seconds. He admired her body from afar; she wasn't exactly a porn star, but she was tall and slim. Her breasts were small yet erect, and her face was soft, with full lips. If only a man who knew what he was doing would get in bed with her, she would have a good time. And he felt that he was the man to do just that.
He found online a book that the library didn't have, and went over to her desk to inquire about an inter-library loan. She was very helpful, perhaps even intimidated by his confident manners and his rugged good looks. She even took him into the office in the back to rush the delivery of the book from the other location. As she typed, out of the corner of his eyes he caught her looking over at him. He turned and smiled at her, their eyes locking. She looked down, embarrassed by his bold stare. His next move was totally on impulse. They were on the fifth floor, well away from the areas frequented by the regular crowd. He turned and locked the door, and then sat down on the desk beside her. As she stopped typing, he took her hands and pulled her up. He kissed on her soft lips, enjoying her increasingly fervent return kisses. He had passed the most crucial phase, the point where he needed to turn her on. He let his hands slide down her body to cup her breasts. She tensed as he caressed them through the fabric of her shirt, gasping softly when he squeezed a sensitive nipple. He ran his hands up and down her slender flanks, again brushing the swells of her breast, his thumbs teasing her now jutting nipples. She was wearing one of those lace bras which allow the nipple to stand firm on arousal. He stepped back to admire the sensual sight of her erect nipples urgently at attention, pushing the soft fabric of her blouse out. He bent his head down, his mouth closing over the fabric protected nipple. She threw her head back, moaning, as he mewled at her breasts, teasing and touching.
He allowed his hands to wander further down her body, down around her slim hips. She was wearing a long silk skirt that accentuated her lithe body. This woman's body was her treasure, not so much her face. He slid his hands around to cup her buttocks, finding them round and firm, and then felt further down her thighs. He began to pick up her skirt, baring her long smooth legs, feeling the soft skin of her long thighs, reaching up to her hips. He looked her in the eye as he began to open her shirt, and she raised her hands willingly over her head as he pulled it off. Her skin was beautiful and smooth, contrasting erotically with the white lace of her bra. He kissed the smooth skin of her shoulder, and down her arms. She was rather passive, perhaps even frightened by the way he made her body his possession. He traced a path under her small breasts, admiring the clean line they made as they melted into her bosom. He unhooked them slowly, allowing her breasts to spill out. He took a nipple into his mouth, causing her to gasp and grasp his head. He began to suck, caressing her other nipple between his thumb and forefinger. She moaned at the onslaught, holding his head to her breasts as he teethed and chewed. He kissed down from one mound to the other, lavishing each eager nipple with kisses and nibbles. He sucked deeply, drawing deeply as he pressed his tongue to the hardness. He sucked on the soft slope of her swells, drawing the blood to the surface.
After the assault on her breasts, he nuzzled between them, pressing them against his face. He let his tongue trail down her belly to her navel, enjoying the feel of her perfect flesh under his tongue. At that moment, he stood up and backed her against the wall. He pressed his body to hers as he kissed her, enveloping her pliant curvy form in his hard angular one. He sank to his knees, and loosened the laces on her skirt. He allowed it to fall, to pool around her ankles. He admired her long smooth legs, with only her white lace panties left on her otherwise naked body. He leaned forward between her legs to press his lips to her luscious thighs. He smelled her female smell, the smell of her arousal. He kissed her between her legs, to the triangle that was already wet with her excitement. She shuddered, bracing herself on his shoulders. He ran his hands up to her buttocks, and hooked his thumbs under her panties. He inched them down, kissing the skin as he bared it. He let it slip to her ankles, and tossed them away. She was naked, her body gorgeous, her knees weak, and most importantly, here vagina very, very wet.
He began to touch her gently, brushing her erect clitoris with his finger. He leaned forward, and breathed his hot breath on her hardness. He supported her as her knees gave out, pulling her up and over to the window. He threw it open, allowing the noise of the city traffic to fill the room. She placed her hands on the windowsill, looking dreamily out at the passerby below. She vaguely remembered hearing the sound of his zipper, and the rustle of him tearing his clothes off. She shuddered with pleasure as he wrapped his arms around her to tease her breasts, and like a lamb, parted her legs wide at his urging. He stepped between her legs, guiding his cock to her wetness. He tantalized her, letting the crown of his cock rub her clit, his shaft thrusting across the sensitive flesh between her two holes. Finally, as she arched her back seductively against him, he slid his cock up into her vagina. As he straightened to his full height, his shaft impaled her to the hilt. She moaned like he was going to lift her off the ground on his cock alone. She could barely move as he filled her, his large hands at her girlish hips, holding her firmly on his throbbing member. Then he began to thrust.
Any passerby looking up would have seen the pretty face of the librarian covered in the sweat of passion. They would have seen her shoulders heaving as she thrust her hips back as an unseen man heaved into her. In the standing doggie rear entry position, the tip of his cock rubbed her g-spot more directly, making her feel like she had never felt before in her life. He stood straight, admiring the way her thighs slapped against his as his large cock slid deep between her lips. He stood still, drawing a momentary cry of despair from her. He held her hips as she threw her luscious body back at him, looking over her shoulder, her pretty face full of passion. She hung her head down, watching between her breasts as she drove herself to a climax, pushing violently back and down on his hardness as she came. She trembled as she orgasmed, her knees buckling as she ground against him. He held her up as she rode out her climax, reaching up to stroke her breasts.
He carried her away from the window, his aching cock still buried up her vagina, and drew her down next to him onto the lushly carpeted floor. He slid out of her, his shaft wet with her excitement and juices. In the patch of sunlight that shone through the window, he rolled her onto her belly. He grabbed a pillow from the chair, and stuffed it under her hips. Understanding his need, she leaned on her elbows and spread her legs, allowing him access to her breasts and more importantly, to her deep pocket. But he was going to show her that she had more down there than just her tight cunt….

Business Ethics and Development Intervention
I am fascinated by the ways that our development intervention engages with Chagga economic culture. We've done our best to invest artfully and to allow our project to interface with local ways of doing business. This is very much a practical concern: the more room we leave for people to apply their own conceptions of economy and business as they engage the project, the more likely the project is to be incorporated successfully into the community once we leave. At times, we must have been hamfisted and have inadvertently trampled on the Chagga way of doing capitalism. But our general approach is to make objective-specific money allocation decisions and allow local people to execute the task at hand. We have two basic systems to minimize our vulnerability to graft. First, we meticulously check facts and prices with as many people as possible before making a purchase. (Yesterday, we went to a wedding. I don't have dress shoes, so I asked a friend if I could borrow some. He lent me what appear to be a pair of second-hand, alligator skin Gucci kicks, but they were dusty, and he instructed me to get them shined prior to the wedding. I asked the chef at a local restaurant how much a shoe cleaning normally costs. I ordered the shine, handed him a small bill, and asked for change based on my well-researched understanding of the standard fare. The shoe shiner clearly anticipated a juicier-than-usual shining fee from this young traveler, and was visibly surprised at my command of local prices.) Second, we are working with multiple stakeholders to produce the physical project, and they often have conflicting interests. We exploit these differences to make sure we are getting the right prices, timely services, and good information. (Mwalimu Richard, for example, is a chronically behind-schedule wood chopper. His lateness started to delay construction, though he insisted he was doing everything possible to get the job on time. The construction workers disagreed and said Richard was just too busy to chop our wood on time. They hired their own chainsaw operator and to Richard's consternation, started chopping wood on-site, and at the right price.)
The downside of our conscious decision to leave most of the execution to local actors (and to pitch in physical help whenever we can) is that several ethical quandaries arise in the process. We're not doing anything evil or malicious, and we're doing our best to shed as much moral baggage as possible. I don't lose sleep over this stuff, and I'm not uncomfortable about it. The reason I raise the issue on this blog is because these ethical issues are both rich in information and they're interesting; I thought I'd share some of what we deal with as a way of soliciting readers' thoughts on the issues in general and possible ways of dealing with them.
Today, I'll start by kicking around the issue of kickbacks.
Everywhere, socially savvy entrepreneurs have mastered the art of the kickback. Whatever kickback institutions prevail in a given locale, the most successful operators are equally adept at seizing opportune kickback moments, and at gracefully accepting kickbacks sent in their direction.
Here's a rough sketch of what I mean when I write "kickback": a nugget of value left over from an economic exchange that one party to the exchange returns to the other following the original or primary exchange. That cash makes everything freely convertible to everything else might render the "value left over" part of the definition functionally irrelevant. But the general idea is intact: an exchanger makes a profit and, for whatever reason, returns some of it.
Sure, kickbacks can be a form of financial credit. They can also consist of a payment for some under-the-table service as in the most widely publicized kickback cases: shameless cases of government or corporate cronyism. This kind of publicity gives kickbacks a bad rapport. But I think most day-to-day kickbacks, the kind that take place innumerable times in markets all over the world, are not ethically problematic. In Luo markets in western Kenya, vendors seal sales by adding an extra couple of vegetables to whatever bundle they've negotiated. The kickback helps vendors retain old customers and capture new ones. It's a marketing tool and its function is social.
It seems to me that kickback ethics get murky in cases where value gets transferred from one domain of economic exchange (DOE) to another. I'm not exactly sure what I mean by DOE--anthropologists have been wrestling with these apparent phenomena and developing concepts to deal with them for a century now. But examples from our medical system illustrate the point. First consider medical referrals. Although their matrix-like, (at-best) interminable nature makes them slightly more complicated than a classic kickback, referrals fit the general mold: an endocrinologist refers a patient to another, the second doctor profits. Eventually, if Dr. 2 holds up her end of the deal, she'll "kick back" a second patient to her colleague Dr. 1 down the line. Presumably, there are several endocrinologists to whom Dr. 2 might refer a given case, and they'd all do a good job. Therefore, Dr. 2's decision to refer back to Dr. 1 is not just medical but also social; it helps her build a professional network, it helps her ensure good care for her patient, and everyone benefits. No ethical qualms here.
Until recently, a more problematic kickback system thrived in doctors offices as drug representatives bought lunch for office staff and supplied piles gimmicky pens with drug logos as well. Those of us who have enjoyed those lunches might not relish the ban on such practices, but the ban is an ethical no-brainer. We all know that at Big Pharma, the bottom line reigns supreme. Furnishing office supplies and lunches was part of an elaborate kickback cycle in which healthcare providers got freebies and drug companies expected favorable treatment when the pen hit the prescription pad. (Whether or not they got it is someone else's debate.)
We finished paying Richard for lumber last week. He earned a significant portion of our grant. At the end of the exchange, he told us not to forget about him when Duma implements additional projects. We paid him in full, but he didn't have change for our cash. First, he said he'd pay it back the next day. Then he thought hard, reached into his new wad of bills, and kicked us back 10,000tsh, about $8, and told us to buy ourselves a soda. It was uncomfortable, but Richard is a teacher at the Lata School and we didn't want to refuse the kickback if this is indeed the way business is done in Chagga land. Following Chagga business etiquette seemed the most prudent path at the time (more on conflicts of interest later). Furthermore, if we were building our own animal shelter, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with accepting the kickback. The ethical dilemma stems from the fact that we are managing money on someone else's behalf, and since we are leaving in three months, we are not reliable business partners as private operators. This dynamic made the kickback feel like the grafty kind you read about in the Times. We decided to err on the side of moral intuition and reinvest our portions of the kickback into the project.
So should we have bought the sodas? What are your thoughts?
I'm not sure about citing sources on blogs. If you want to learn more about the social function of credit, or the ways in which economic entrustment operates in African markets, Parker Shipton's The Nature of Entrustment, on the Kenyan Luo, is a good place to start. The book inspired a lot of the thought behind this post.

Fascinating stuff Jake. Congrats to both of you for your work. About the question of ethics and morals, I feel that you must take different cultural practices in to context, as I believe an understanding of what's accepted and not differs from culture to culture. So for eg: In sri lanka, 'kick-backs' are known as 'bribes' - a slightly harsher term, but depending on the context, can be as harmless as an extra few beets from your local vendor or as harmful as massive bribes paid to politicians to import illegal goods in the country. So I think your judgement call must depend on the cultural context and the magnitude of the exchange.
So in my opinion, yes, you should have bought the sodas!

Yesterday, Jan Koum published a post on the WhatsApp's blog to try to clear the air regarding the giant scandal of Facebook's multibillion acquisition of WhatsApp.
In an effort to "set the record straight," Koum declared that the new deal with Facebook would absolutely not affect the way WhatsApp handles user data. As far as Koum is concerned,"Respect for [user] privacy is coded into our DNA […] and we really have no plans to change that. If partnering with Facebook meant that we had to change our values, we wouldn't have done it."
To back up his claims, Koum adds a laundry list of things that WhatsApp doesn't, and will continue to not ask for in terms of its users' data. From emails, birthdays, home addresses, occupation, GPS location, and anything in between, he says, WhatsApp doesn't collect or store that kind data. Basically, Koum sees it, WhatsApp is an autonomous entity, which maintains its rights to make sure that its "fundamental values and […] principles will not change" in light of the acquisition.
Somehow, though, his post seems to lack the reassuring quality that we'd like to be able to get from it.
Just because WhatsApp isn't asking for new user data doesn't mean that the existing user data hasn't already been mined, even more so since the acquisition; WhatsApp even states in the second to last paragraph of its privacy policy:
In the event that WhatsApp is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control…
Given enough time, Facebook is going to have your phone number regardless of whether or not you've given it to them personally. As a matter of fact, they're legally entitled to ALL the data that WhatsApp has collected and kept.
Looks like, no matter how you dice it, Facebook's one step closer to owning all there is to know about your relationships.

Higher education minister Surjit Singh Rakhra had recently announced the opening of as many as 13 colleges in the state. Five of them with minimal fees, are ready to open and wil be affiliated to Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU). The colleges will be opened one each in Phillaur, Nakodar, Kishankot, Sujanpur and Pathankot.
Students of these cities, completing their senior secondary classes, will not have to pay high fees in private colleges as they will be having an opportunity to study in the colleges that will be charging minimal fees.
As per information, three courses will be introduced from this academic year in these colleges. Courses include Bachelor in Arts (BA), Bachelor in Commerce (BCom) and Bachelor of Science in economics (BSc economics).
The admissions for these colleges will be started from June 20. Eligibility of students will be according to the university norms.
The students will have to pay the fees in two installments. It is reported that from the next academic session, new courses like Bachelor of Science (Bsc) will be introduced in the colleges.
With the opening of these colleges, GNDU will have a total of 9 government colleges under it. Other degree colleges are being run in Jalandhar city, Mukandpur, Mithra, Sathiala, Patti, Chung, Narot Jaimal Singh, and Niari.
One of the students from government school Jalandhar, who has just completed Class 12, said that with the coming of the new colleges, they will be having a very good option to study.
"To pay heavy fees in private colleges had become a matter concern for me and my family. But opening of these colleges will help students like us to study," he added.
Ajaib Singh Brar, vice-chancellor of Guru Nanak Dev University said that the colleges are ready to open soon. He further informed that four colleges will be opened under Punjabi University and two under Punjab University.
Brar added, "Fee structure of the colleges will definitely encourage rural students and those students, who cannot afford to pay high fees. The university will make sure that the colleges meet every requirement of the students."

Nights of the Celluloid Dead: A History of Zombie Movies
The original version of my apocalyptic epic "Nights of the Celluloid Dead: A History of Zombie Movies" appeared on the excellent phillyburbs.com Halloween site and was there for a decade or so. Unfortunately it seems to have been removed now. After the vast menagerie of zombie movies that have appeared since the '90s, though, it's seriously in need of an update! Maybe one of these days...
You can download a PDF version, unformatted, here.
A slightly older version can be found on David Carroll's much-recommended Tabula Rasa site.

Somewhat misleading. While the CPU power of the Wii U most certainly lies in the realm of what you see in the 360 (rumor is it's basically a 3 core, overclocked Wii processor), the video power is a decent step up. We're talking about a semi modern GPU that supports all sorts of bells and whistles none of the last gen consoles did. The Wii U will most certainly be left in the dust by the PS4/720, but the beautiful thing about it is that it should probably be able to play next gen multi-platform ports in 720p. Which will be fine for most people, as half the HDTVs out there are only 720p to begin with (and look just fine).
Well, I should fucking hope so. The XBOX 360 is seven years old.
which device from them had a complicated board or cutting edge performance?
Nintendo 64 had cutting edge performance. 3D performance was better than most $2,000 computers at the time.
Yes, your K6-2 450Mhz CPU released on the 26-Feb-1999 was faster than the N64 released in 1996.
They were absolutely right. PC games have required full installation for years, and consoles even require significant portions of many games to be installed to the hard drive first. Meanwhile, Flash/EEPROM based cartridges are functionally very similar to USB sticks and SSDs which are more ubiquitous than ever before.
I wouldn't say all ways but:

The Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation is a Thai registered not for profit originally set up in 2005 in cooperation with Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp and Resort.
We are located in the far north of Thailand where Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet (The Golden Triangle).
GTAEF strongly believes that in an ideal world all elephants would be wild. This is unfortunately not the case, so until we reach that point, GTAEF aims to assist captive elephants, improving their lives and welfare, while also taking part in conservation and wild elephant programs to ensure the survival of the wild herd.
Why do Thailand's Elephants need help
GTAEF at all times endeavour to ensure that net good is done and that our action in helping one elephant does not adversely affect others.
Our Aims
Why Not Just Buy The Elephant?
Years of observation and interviews with many major players have taught us that this market is driving the capture of elephants from the wild. We've learned that to buy one elephant, for whatever reason, is to have a negative impact on conservation and on welfare for all elephants by causing another elephant to be taken from the wild and to be trained – often in the most brutal fashion – to work for humans.

I just updated activator and display out now every time I touch the screen it shows as a bright white 3/8th inch bright white circle. Curiously it does not show on keyboard when typing. This just started immediately after respiring. Tried search without success. Any help appreciated..
I believe it's your DisplayOut tweak. I say that because other people have had the same trouble. In fact, I'm going to quote someone's solution from another thread (I read it earlier today): Does that fix it? Marilyn P.S. If it does, thanks to Kram2311 for posting the solution...!
