EPISODE 435. Broadcast on April 21, 2013.
javabeans: Right off the bat as the members arrive for a new trip, we're hit with a preview of the goodies to come today: Let's just say there's lots of mud, digging, and humiliation in store for them.
girlfriday: Muahaha. The boys get together for a group-walking intro and everyone wears sunglasses to try and look cool… except for Su-geun, whose look I can't even describe.
javabeans: Did Su-geun pick that out of his son's Cracker Jacks?
girlfriday: There couldn't be more colors in a pair of sunglasses if you tried.
javabeans: LOL, and then they all do their intro line while taking off the glasses like a movie star, and when Su-geun whips off his toy sunglasses the lens pops out mid-line. They actually pause the intro song to laugh their heads off, and then we resume.
girlfriday: That's what you get for shopping for accessories in cereal boxes.
javabeans: Okay, then he pops out both lenses and is it me or does he look like Pororo?
girlfriday: Ha, he does. At least it's a workable look with just the frames.
javabeans: Aw, today's trip is themed around Taean, the seaside city that had that horrible oil spill a few years ago. The citizens rallied together to clean it up, and the boys aww at the choice too. Su-geun compliments New PD for his smart choice to showcase Taean using the show, asking if he's a genius, and New PD says, "The writers wrote it for me."
girlfriday: Hahaha. I like him. Joo-won rallies up the nerve to complain that they should get breakfast for gathering so early, and New PD says they'll show them today's menu. I love that he gasps, "Really?" when he's the one who asked.
javabeans: I HATE WHEN THEY SHOW CRAB. GRUMBLE GRUMBLE BITTERNESS. One day, they will invent an allergy pill and I will eat all the crab in the world.
girlfriday: *pat pat* There, there.
javabeans: It's just worse because the show makes me hungry anyway. Like that bowl of plain rice that New PD trots out to let them play for a one-bite challenge? That rice looks delicious. The crab is just mean.
girlfriday: This whole show is food torture. Anyway, the boys choose their preference between spicy crab and soy sauce crab, and the PD tells them those are the teams today. The winners get the crab they chose, while the losers get… nothing. Like nothing nothing? Hae-jin actually stutters and looks like he's gonna beat New PD up.
javabeans: That has to be a tactical choice: Come out strong. Show no weakness. I love how Hae-jin adapts to this mindset so quickly because he's the first to suggest that they taste the crab — you know, just to make sure it's good and all. Worth playing for. So they get one round of rock-scissors-paper, and Jong-min wins a bite. Is it me, or is Joo-won a bit sassy today? He teases Tae-hyun at one point (for having a shot at the crab, then losing it) — I wonder if this is the turning point when he starts coming out of his bashful-quiet-maknae shell.
girlfriday: I hope so. We've waited long enough. Bring on the sass!
javabeans: After Jong-min takes his bite, the boys immediately launch into another round of rock-scissors-paper to play for a second bite, and New PD has to call out no-go. LOL. Well you can't blame them for trying.
girlfriday: The two teams head to their first mission location, and Hae-jin and Shi-kyung seem to have this really funny bickering thing starting up between them.
javabeans: Maybe it'll be good for both of them. Shi-kyung didn't have that guy there to cut him down to size till now, which is why I think he was either too serious or too much the Sungchoongi, but Hae-jin has this funny straightforward delivery in tossing things back at him.
girlfriday: Yeah they're well-matched. Hae-jin suggests that if they lose they shouldn't be mad at the teammate who messes up. Shi-kyung: "We won't get mad. But we should just hit him once really hard." Hae-jin: "There's no need for that. If we don't eat lunch I'll just go to a different team for dinner. Better not to see each other anymore."
javabeans: Hae-jin takes a walk on the beach looking for a shell or something to offer as a gift in the spirit of making peace with Shi-kyung, but what makes the moment funny is his addendum that he doesn't feel good being on Shi-kyung's bad side. Haha.
girlfriday: So cute. But also, I don't think he knows Shi-kyung very well. Why hunt for a pretty seashell when a bag of chips would do?
javabeans: Then he gives up on the hunt for a pretty shell and shrugs, "Eh, I'll just give him whatever." Lol.
girlfriday: It's really cute how he walks over to Shi-kyung in the middle of the group and hands him the shell, like he's got a crush.
javabeans: It also totally proves that it's the thought that counts! I'm liking Hae-jin's personality a lot, particularly as it works with this group. Shi-kyung's on one extreme of keeping his thoughts inside, and Jong-min's at the opposite end but in an uneasy way, because his lack of filter offends. Hae-jin is the kind who says what he thinks, but in an inoffensive way. Blunt but good-natured.
girlfriday: The first mission is to sing a song about the beach they're at, and I don't know if it's just because I don't know the song, but it sounds hard.
javabeans: Unsurprisingly, we go through this sing-a-long a number of times. Though one team (Hae-jin's) is much worse than the other (Joo-won, Tae-woong, Su-geun). Hee, the other team hovers around while the other team sings, looking for tips for their turn. ("What do you mean it's not 'crying perm'? I heard 'crying perm'!")
girlfriday: Dude, I totally heard "crying perm" too. This is basically a war between Joo-won, Hae-jin, and Tae-hyun, who are the three boys messing up over and over and over. Two of them just happen to be on one team though, so I think things are in Joo-won's favor.
javabeans: Do you like how they take a break from the singing to deliver finger-smacks on Hae-jin's forehead? It's ostensibly to earn another listen to the song, but Hae-jin (who keeps messing up) is offered up as the sacrifice. Hilariously, he glares so hard while awaiting the flicks that he psychs all the other team members out.
girlfriday: Or is it that he delays so long that the flicker loses all strength in his finger?
javabeans: But his I'm-bracing-myself face looks a lot like his Imma-kill-you face from his gangster movies. It's Tae-woong's team that wins this round, and then they resume traveling, arriving in what looks like a desert.
girlfriday: Is there some kind of variety sand dune thing going on this week? Why is everyone doing deserts?
javabeans: Because they inevitably lead to pain? The boys are given the time to walk around freely (uh, suspicious?) and they take a leisurely stroll on the sand, with a brief pause while Jong-min and Joo-won "shoot" a mock outdoorwear CF using the desert as the backdrop. Jong-min directs the shots the way he wants, and then asks Joo-won if he can be in his real CFs. Ha.
girlfriday: Lol, their company's tagline is "Just stop it." When they get to the other side, the PD tells them they have two minutes to collect staff members' shoes (and their own of course) to see which team has collected the most sand on their walk.
javabeans: Ooh, crafty! I like this kind of bokbulbok, which is really built on chance. With the clock ticking (or more appropriately, an hourglass dripping sand), they start pulling shoes off their crew and tapping them into bowls.
girlfriday: Shi-kyung yanks off New PD's shoes: "They're smelly and they don't even have sand!"
javabeans: They weigh the bowls, and it's a close one, but ultimately this ties up the lunch race 1 to 1: Hae-jin's team wins with 349 grams over 337 grams.
girlfriday: I love that even after hearing the numbers, Tae-hyun's confused: "We lost right? We lost?"
javabeans: They arrive at location 3 for their next game, which is basically an excuse to flick each other on the forehead — with nonsense rules like how you have to accept the hit while smiling — while speaking in antiquated speech patterns. You're like, "What's the point? Oh well who cares, this is hilarious."
girlfriday: Yeah basically there's no point except for violence. I'm okay with that. Turns out there is a real game here, which we get to once Joo-won and Shi-kyung finish making the other guys cry with their forehead flicks. It's like a version of marbles, using badook pieces. Unsurprisingly, Su-geun's team is really good. At one point they're leading four to one pieces on the board, and Hae-jin asks if there's something they can do to get another piece back. Su-geun: "Sexy dance!"
javabeans: Hae-jin's all, "Um, how about something else?" Su-geun: "I'm only gonna make you do things you hate!" Ha, I feel like this was a really easy request/order, but Hae-jin really, really doesn't want to do it. Trouble is, it was his idea so there's no wiggling his way out of it now. Finally his teammates have to "teach" him a dance, and I feel like the deconstruction of a pelvic thrust is more hilarious than the dance itself. Dude, has Shi-kyung been practicing?
girlfriday: Hahaha. This is terrible but hilarious. And yeah, it totally looks like Shi-kyung's been practicing this dance at home, which is almost more embarrassing.
javabeans: Hae-jin's team loses, but he can't deal with the loss and pleads, whines, and threatens until they agree to a rematch. (And then before they start the rematch he warns everyone that there will be no more asking for extra rounds or games, 'cause that would totally be pathetic. HA.)
girlfriday: Pfft, they're told to kneel to beg for another round, and Hae-jin can't bring himself to kneel in front of them, so he turns his back and kneels toward the field. It's like he has a war with his pride every single step of the way, with the dancing, the having to ask for things.
javabeans: Su-geun's team trounces them again anyway, and wins lunch. The losers are seated at a table where Hae-jin demands at least plain rice, only to get a pot… full of dry crackers, shaped like crab.
girlfriday: HAHAHAHAHA. It's a food pun! Also, really really sad.
javabeans: Hae-jin makes another proposal (his desperation is really funny) to win a chance at a bite using a stone pot lid to "curl" on a tabletop. They're all, "I thought you said you didn't like making up games!" and he's all, I'm HUNGRY.
girlfriday: I love his insistence that this is NOT pathetic, because he's offering chips in exchange for dessert.
javabeans: But it's Jong-min who wins the bite, and he overstuffs his mouthful to cram as much food in as possible, and Tae-hyun calls out from the peanut gallery, "It better all fit in your mouth!" Hae-jin: "He's our teammate! Why you gotta be like that?" Hee.
girlfriday: And then when Jong-min leaves some dangling from his mouth precariously, Tae-hyun steps right up to yank it out and eat it himself.
javabeans: Su-geun offers a second bite opportunity, but Hae-jin slumps, all defeated now. He doesn't even try for it, saying he doesn't wanna, so Shi-kyung wins a bite. After he loses again, Su-geun feels so bad that he even offers up a freebie bite to Hae-jin, who's all, Sigh. I've lost all strength and hope forever. But he watches Tae-hyun enjoying his bite and caves in a second and starts stuffing his face. Dude, he must really be pathetic because they offer him extra bites too, on top of that, without even making him play for it.
girlfriday: It's like watching his pride get chipped away bit by bit.
javabeans: You are literally watching a man get his spirit broken, step by step.
girlfriday: Hahaha, he's totally having his Joo-won crying-over-meat moment: "I'm gonna go home and buy SO MUCH crab!" I guess everyone has that breakdown at some point. After lunch, they head to the muddy beach to dig for what looks like a cross between a prawn and a small lobster. The ajusshi there says they can be eaten raw with the shells on, which frankly kind of freaks me out, but Tae-woong, Hae-jin, and Shi-kyung all chomp down.
javabeans: I'm all for fresh sashimi, but isn't this how you get tapeworms?
girlfriday: Yeah this is a little too wild for my taste. I mean, they still look muddy.
javabeans: Plus, Jong-min is over there cooing to his, "Hello, cutie!" And also, they look too much like the sea insects they are. And also also, they're still moving.
girlfriday: Yes, yes, and ew, yes. Next week: dinner bokbolbuk gets dirty.

Helmed with musty solemnity by Wong Jing, this expensively furnished production unfolds scene after scene of slow-burning chamber drama, punctuated by potent but never jaw-dropping action.
A nostalgic rags-to-riches yarn about the mightiest crime lord in 1930s Shanghai, "The Last Tycoon" is nonetheless redolent of 'hood heroics in '90s Hong Kong cinema. Helmed with musty solemnity by Wong Jing, this expensively furnished production unfolds scene after scene of slow-burning chamber drama, punctuated by potent but never jaw-dropping action. The unhurried approach affords lead actor Chow Yun-fat ample room to deliver a flavorsome perf alongside his ace co-stars, but may hinder the pic from going gangbusters locally. Asian-friendly ancillary is a safe bet.
The screenplay reps a condensed rehash of "Lord of East China Sea" (1993-94), Poon Man-kit's two-part, semi-fictionalized account of how drug lord Du Yuesheng rose to become a statesman and staunch Kuomintang patron. Despite the film's streamlined tech package, to which producer-lenser Andrew Lau ("The Guillotines") no doubt contributed, virtually everything in the story has been said and done before. The result is neither gritty nor hedonistic enough to evoke turn-of-the-century Shanghai as an "adventurer's paradise," while the glowing presentation of the central character as an unswerving patriot strips him of any moral complexity. In 1913, Cheng Daqi (Huang Xiaoming), a fruit seller from Zhejiang province, gets in trouble and flees to Shanghai with the help of KMT spy Mao Zai (Francis Ng). Amid the upheaval, Cheng loses touch with childhood sweetheart Ye Zhiqiu (Joyce Feng), who's gone to Beijing to study Chinese opera. Cheng plunges himself into the world of gangland streetfighting, and hits the big time after becoming protege of Hong Shouting (Sammo Hung), chief of police and the most corrupt thug in the freewheeling French Concession. By 1937, Cheng (now played by Chow) not only rules Shanghai's largest gang but has attained respectability through banking ventures with cohorts Hong and warlord Lu (Han Zhi). With a full-blown war between China and Japan looming, however, various parties vie to exploit his wealth and influence, forcing him to gamble for the city's survival. To complicate matters, Ye (Yolanda Yuan), now a glamorous diva, resurfaces with her husband (Xin Boqing), whose communist affiliations put her in a precarious situation. The measured tempo of Azrael Chung's editing keeps the time-shifting narrative seguing smoothly between Cheng's youth and middle-age years. Huang's perf as the naive country boy in the opening act is off-puttingly half-hearted, but he throws himself into the Shanghai-set scenes with do-or-die aplomb. Beset by conflicts of interest and mounting peril, the older Cheng is, by contrast, more frazzled than fearsome. The action (designed by Lee Tat-chiu) comes in quick but regular spurts, and assumes a grander scale in the film's explosion-heavy second half. However, the earlier scenes of intimate human combat hold greater dramatic interest, such as a turf war in which cleavers and meathooks are put to vicious use, and a church-set shootout that pays homage to John Woo. In essence, Wong goes against the grain of mainland commercial cinema's emphasis on spectacle and pageantry, instead showing a preference for ensemble drama. This is apparent in scenes of Cheng outmaneuvering the crafty politesse of warlords, KMT and Japanese commander Nishino (action veteran Yasuaki Kurata), using negotiation rather than force. After successive turns as hawkish despots or saintly philosophers, Chow makes an agreeable, even refreshing romantic lead. Still sexy in his 50s (but too old for the role), the actor expertly calibrates guilt and desire in an otherwise trite love triangle involving Cheng, his stoical wife (Monica Mok) and his self-centered old flame. Supporting thesps Hung and Ng also have strong screen presence, despite their superficial and inconsistent characterizations. Craft contributions, including the steady camerawork and authentic-looking sets, are dependable but short on flair. The most splendid visual element comes courtesy of Jessie Tai and Ivy Chan's exquisitely tailored and embroidered qibaos and Chow's distinctive wardrobe, referencing his iconic gangster roles.The Last Tycoon

JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia's Sahara Petrochemical and Saudi International Petrochemical Co. (Sipchem) said they had begun initial talks on a potential merger.
The Zamil Holding Company Group, one of the Kingdom's most prominent family businesses, is a major shareholder in both companies.
A feasibility study will be carried out by the two companies over the next five months, with the plan then put to shareholders and the regulator for approval, separate statements from both companies to the Saudi stock exchange said.
No value for the potential merger was given.
Zamil, which has interests in petrochemicals, steel, housing, construction and other industrial sectors, owns 7.9 percent of Sahara and 9.6 percent of Sipchem.
The government pension fund also has holdings of more than 5 percent in both companies.
Sipchem announced a fall in first-quarter net profit by nearly 60 percent year-on-year to SR 64.5 million ($17.2 million) in April, which it attributed to planned plant shut-downs for maintenance.
Sahara's net income in the same period tripled to SR 142 million.
Sipchem makes methanol, butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, vinyl acetate monomer, as well as carbon monoxide, its website says.
Sahara makes propylene, polypropylene, ethylene and polyethylene.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Gingrich's 527 Promotes Itself And Newt -- But Not GOP Candidates
Meanwhile, Gingrich's nonprofit group Renewing American Leadership, though it was started in March 2009, has not yet filed a tax return.
While many 527 groups have racked up costs in advertising on behalf of their favorite candidates and against their opponents, the only advertising expenditures Gingrich's groups seemed to have made in that three month period was $36,683 paid to Google, potentially for Google Ads.
Gingrich's group spent $726,961 on travel -- including $677,539 for private jets flights supplied by Moby Dick Airways Ltd. -- in that timeframe. As the the Associated Press reported, American Solutions spent $2.2 million over the past two years just on private jets and chauffeurs.
American Solutions also spent $2,177 on "Donor Events" (likely gifts) at Mount Vernon Gift Shop and $7,794 at Amazon -- just around the time Newt's book "To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine" hit the virtual shelves. Funds also went to the pockets of various political consulting companies like Todd Domke and Associates -- many of which are owned by former staffers of Gingrich.
American Solutions and Renewing American Leadership -- which asked donors to give money to help stop the so-called "Ground Zero mosque" -- are just a part of Gingrich's portfolio. Looking at the expenses of the groups, the Center for Responsive Politics Executive Director Sheila Krumholz told the AP it amounts to "kind of self-promotion engine." The AP described Gingrich's various affiliations as a "sprawling empire of commercial and nonprofit ventures that often intersect, blurring the boundaries of his public and private roles."
The scope of Gingrich's promotion empire is especially relevant in light of the role Gingrich has played in raising the threat of Islam as a threat to America. As TPM has documented, Gingrich has called for a federal ban on Sharia law, and Gingrich's production company teamed with Citizens United to produce a documentary on the supposed threat of Islam in America.
One Muslim group said that the "hateful rhetoric that is being spewed by people like Newt Gingrich and then being amplified by mainstream media outlets poses a grave danger to the safety and well-being of everyday Muslim Americans."
Megan Carpentier and Johanna Burr contributed reporting.

QUADs and epic loot come easy to a gamer, but what if you need to propose to your girlfriend? If you were like Gary Hudston--whose girlfriend Stephanie shared in his obsessive love of the Portal series--you would post a want-ad on a popular modding community, Thinking with Portals, for custom Portal 2 levels that lead to a wedding chapel.
Besides getting some elaborate levels done by several mappers, Hudston also contacted VALVe and asked if he could put custom lines into the levels. VALVe did not only approve, they brought in Ellen McLain, the voice of GLaDOS (your in-game AI-construct nemesis), to create new game dialogue and to pop the question. And yes, Stephanie said "yes". It seems like game developer created engagement proposals are becoming a fad, like this one done by a Claptrap from Borderlands.
The developer has made the levels available so you can play them too. To get started you will need to move files into your Portal 2 directory: Put the VPK in "addons", and Biks in "media". Start the game up, and once you're in, you'll need to pop open the console and input "map la_bringing_together."

Scleroderma Causes
Posted 29 June 2008 - 02:12 PM
Me, personally. I was diagnosed within 4 months of noticing the numbing in my finger tips. I worked the night shift (12:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.). My job was stressful (police officer). I was a single mother. I had just purchased a home that needed work. I (unknowingly) used industrial paint to paint the interior and the fumes were strong. That same week the carpeting was installed, again the fumes were strong. I think this combination of stress and chemicals brought on my condition. My grandmother also had rheumatoid arthritis.
What do you think?
Posted 29 June 2008 - 04:43 PM
Posted 29 June 2008 - 05:48 PM
Razz it's funny you mention the paint and carpet fumes. I refinished furniture and antiques as a hobby and constantly had my hands in chemicals and paint strippers, not to mention the fumes.
All in all, I think the predisposition was laid years ago at the shore. The mosquito spraying truck came every night, and as stupid as it seems now, our parents used to tell us to get in the fog/mist so we would be protected from bites for the evening.
It is what it is...........

I had a Lyme infection that I ignored for a long time and also tend to be sensitive to certain medications and foods. In general, I've always heard stress, heat and possibly viruses are the most common trigger for autoimmune diseases.

I, too, am convinced the groundwork was laid out. I try and warn my family, esp. one brother and sister, who tend to overwork themselves that stress does affect our physical health. I feel for your losses and struggles. You are all amazing and I truly admire your courage and strength. Thanks for helping me understand this illness.

RTS, I also heard that viruses could trigger SD.
Thanks for your responses.

I now have a whole list of things that probably acted as trigger: hormones, genetics, silica, toxins, solvents. And those of just the things that I could identify. There are SO many possible causes and triggers, that I would think it would be hard to narrow it down to just one. You'll see what I mean if you click on this link: Causes of Scleroderma. You'll see that there are TONS of things going on, so pinpointing a definitive causes, would be difficult.
Sure is something we'd all like to know however. Of course it's probably what contributes to the difficulty in diagnosis and finding a cure. If you don't know what causes it, how do you cure it? UGH!

I was deathly ill many years ago and hospitalized for about 1 week and they could never figure out what was wrong with me other than I was one sick girl. Shortly after that I started getting the constant fevers and sore throats, etc.....I think it might have been the trigger but I am not certain. Those symptoms stayed with me for several years then fizzled out to be only occasional (yes, I believe I was lucky there). Then a couple of years ago, things started creeping back in. The rheumatologist way back then said I had more than FM going on...now I guess we know what it was although I did not have enough symptoms to diagnose anything at that time. I go to see my new specialist on Wednesday...I plan on asking if that could have been it?

Subsequent to 1987, my son who was a very difficult child from birth just continued to develop more issues. My husband and I worked very hard to deal with his issues - pychologists, meds, behavioral mod, the schools, boarding schools, psychiatrists. We were stressed all of the time. Our lives were beseiged daily. Ever since then I have suffered with the fibro and developed Raynaud's. In about 1997 the Raynaud's became very obvious. My gastro issues were in existence from the time of my son's birth. I had a second child in 1989 and with the fibro and other physical issues my life was very complicated and pressured. We wanted to protect our daughter from our sons issues and have her lead as normal a life as possible and at the same time give our son as much attention and love as he needed. My husband and I did not feel that we had any control over our home or work lives. We just we putting out fires daily.
I finally got around to showing my doctor my hands in 1997 and he took a blood test and my ANA was high with florescing centromeres. Between the Raynaud's, the gastro stuff and some spidery stuff on my face, coupled with the ANA I was confirmed with CREST.
Was it caused by my pregnancy? My trauma of the accident and then all of the stress? I was the infantry and often did not even tell my husband soe of the stuff going on with my son in the beginning because he was 40 minutes away at work and I was home. I started doing it as he got older and as the issues got more complicated. Not everyone with difficult kids who is in a car accident gets CREST - I believe that you have to be predisposed or your system has to be run down eough for the disease to find the conditions opportune to wreak havoc. So what do we do to protect ourselves so that this doesn't happen? It may be too late for a cure for us, but that is the question I would like answered so that perhaps I can stop the progression and maybe prevent others from suffering.

I guess this is something I think about and hopefully in the future they'll develop a drug to reverse the activation or a preventive immunization for those who are predisposed.
You've been thru so much. I can somewhat relate withu. My eldest was always a difficult child since birth. I love her dearly but what I thought was temporary childhood behaviour evolved into a difficult adult. I was always trying to help her out. She's moved out and taken complete responsibility for herself. I've regained some of my sanity back!
Posted 30 June 2008 - 07:40 PM
Thanks for your response. I am glad to hear about your daughter. I hope that it enables you to be less stressed and to recover and perhaps your disease will slow down and not progress at all. Maybe with a reduction of stress you can even go into complete remission. Reclaim your life a bit and start to do things you used to enjoy.
Your daughter's story gives me hope. My son lives in a condo we bought and hopes to graduate college next May and go to law school in the fall of that same year. He has cleaned up his act quite a bit, but he is still needy. My husband and I feel that kids today just grow up and become independent so much later than we did. I think that because of that we as parents are stressed more because we are called on to do more - we are squeezed more. We boomers are the sandwich generation - we have parents who are aging and require attention (although my husband and mine are still doing ok for the most part) and children who requie a lot of attention. That creates a lot of demands and stresses. That pushes the autoimmune button and for us I truly believe it triggered the disease.
Your little note made my day (night) thank you

Next fall is a longs way off, isn't it? How mean of me to post an image of a deck in the works? Pretty mean. I know. But this is so beautiful, I cannot resist.
Care to guess which card and perhaps the deck's theme?

An innovative new weave process adapted by Kinesio, blends and weaves high quality cotton and spandex to produce tape that's lighter, more comfortable and with improved breathability.
The tape works to support muscles and joints, and comes in a design that is latex-free and hypoallergenic. Kinesio's patented Finger Print technology results in a more improved grip, hold and "stickiness" but with less actual adhesive on the surface area to improve breathability and comfort.
The FP tape provides Nano Touch stimulation to the cells of the epidermis and underlying areas, effectively stimulating tissues during the healing process.

There's been a marked jump in recent months in the number of options facing Linux fans interested in buying hardware with their favorite operating system preinstalled, but just recently one came out that seems particularly notable.
It's ZaReason's UltraLap 430, which has been widely billed as the first Linux ultrabook to hit the market.
"It's one of my pet peeves that the world's most robust, high-end software is so often housed in low-end, unappealing machines or, worse, tweaked to work on machines that were built for Windows," ZaReason CEO Cathy Malmrose told me by way of introducing the new device. "Nothing wrong with Windows, just that building for FOSS and building for Windows is very different on the OEM end.
"Our goal is to build hardware that more aptly matches the high-end aspects of FOSS," Malmrose added. "With the UltraLap I think our R&D nailed it." Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Regular readers may remember ZaReason's high-end Verix 2.5 laptop, which I covered earlier this year.
Now, its UltraLap 430 offers an array of compelling features including Intel HD 4000 graphics, third-generation Ivy Bridge technology, and fast boot-up times thanks to Intel Rapid Start Technology.
With a 14.1-inch HD (1366-by-768) glossy LED backlit display, the PC also offers HD stereo speakers, Bluetooth, 802.11 B/G/N WiFi, a multigesture touchpad, a 1.3-megapixel HD webcam, and a 3-in-1 card reader with SD/MMC/MS support.
An i3-3217U 1.8GHz processor is included, or for $49 users can upgrade to an i5-3317U. For memory 4GB of DDR3-1333 memory is included, as is a 32GB mSATA SSD.
Weighing some 3.5 pounds, the UltraLap 430 is available with a choice of Linux operating systems, including Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as well as Debian, Linux Mint, Fedora, and others. Pricing starts at $899.
A 'Vote' for Linux
Of course, at that price, the UltraLap 430 certainly isn't at the low end of the ultrabook market.
On the other hand, as I've noted before, buying hardware with Linux preinstalled makes sure you avoid any headaches that may arise from getting everything to "just work" and it also helps ensure that usage statistics for the free and open source operating system are a little more accurate by making sure your operating system "vote" gets officially counted.
This story, "Dreaming of a Linux ultrabook? Meet the new ZaReason UltraLap 430" was originally published by PCWorld.

As Schools Close, Summer Meals Opens
By Roxanne Henry,
New York City kids have now been on summer break for a full week. While more than a million children across the city are most likely still celebrating their newfound freedom, for parents and caregivers who struggle to afford food, this can be a time of heightened anxiety and concern. To get the most out of limited food budgets, many families depend on free or low-cost school meals for their children when school is in session. It's no coincidence that the summer months see a spike in need among children at food pantries and soup kitchens.
Breakfast at a soup kitchen. |
To increase awareness and participation, the Food Bank:
- Works with the NYC Department of Education to recruit members of our citywide network of soup kitchens and food pantries to help provide summer meals at their sites.
- Provides information about the program, and the locations of SFSP sites to all food assistance programs in our network, creating a broad outreach effort within New York City's low-income neighborhoods.
- Collaborates with a coalition of governmental agencies and anti-hunger organizations to aid in a citywide collaboration to expand the program.
The Food Bank's goal is to ensure that as many children as possible receive free summer meals, which are also available at schools, parks, libraries, pools and other sites across the city.
For a full list of Summer Meals sites, click here. Wondering which site is closest to you? Check out our maps of site locations in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, and Queens.

... snacks. After a well-deserved ice cream we headed back to the wide arc of water at the top of the falls, where we found a bench in the sun and sat and admired the view. From here, we could see the rapid development activity in the area - vast buildings were being constructed on the hill overlooking the falls, soon to be luxury accommodation being hastily built in line with the increased number of flights into Marrakech from Europe. I have no doubt that within ten years, the ...

We walked down the path which takes you to the base of the Falls; surprisingly it was paved all the way! This was in stark contrast to the "work in ...

From the looks of it when we arrive, we are the only people staying in the hotel tonight, or perhaps this month (note to everyone, Morocco in January is low-season, something none of us checked when we booked this bloody cold trip!!).

It had mint tea but tasted like beer. I was glad I washed it down with some cinammon chai from the Square. The riad also had a cooking class that got me thinking about cookery courses during my last days in Marrakech.
Over the mountains

In a matter of about one hour, we had left the dry desert landscape, passed through the high mountainous pass and entered the more fertile, red soil on the west of the High Atlas. The colors that came through in this landscape were so vivid. The dark amber red soil with the green shrubs scattered about against the bright blue sky with the snow capped mountains sitting ...

Just wanted to share it with you as I feel its an exciting example of a new aesthetic.
My good friend Matthew Williams sent me a link to Jon Rafman's work.
Just wanted to share it with you as I feel its an exciting example of a new aesthetic.
After returning from my holidays, I found a suprise gift from the lovely Ruth Hogben waiting for me. Unwrapped was the most beautiful teapot, which will be sure to make an appearance in our up and coming Live panel Discussions. Thank you Ruth!
I have asked the wonderful Ruth Hogben to work on the films for the Met show Punk, Chaos to Couture. At 1.30 in the morning Ruth sent me this, the many different layers on her Final Cut Pro time line, which shows the complexity of some of the films she is putting together.
Impressive, beautiful and exciting.
3D scanning has been a central theme of SHOWstudio's content and vision.
I have been creating sculpture from 3D scans for at least the last decade and working with an amazing man, Kev Stenning, from Rapido 3D who can push the parameters of this new medium further than one could imagine.
I have scanned, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Lady Gaga, Liberty Ross, and Daphne Guinness to name just a few.
Our second project to ever launch on the fledgling SHOWstudio was called Sweet and was 3D scans of Jane Hows recreation of her favourite pieces from the collections recreated completely from sweet wrappers.
I fell in love with this new way of creating imagery, that combined scanning and photography, but looked like nothing I had ever seen before.
The 3D scan showed the model as a surface as if they were egg shells delicate and precise.
What I loved most was that the scanner could not tell if a reflection was a solid object and wether that object was coming towards it or receding away from it.
Confusing the computer became a game and I indulge in as often as I can, and confusing this one made it create forms that followed a logic unknown to anything I had seen.
The result is beautiful.
Models that fragment and tear, twist like the metal of a tin can and inhabit space in an entirely new way.
All glorious.
The next project on the new SHOWstudio was JWalk, a project investigating Motion capture.
Mo Cap as it is referred to, involves putting a person in a special suit where every articulating part of the body is attributed a small reflective disk and the information from those disks is captured and used to create lifelike human movement. Often used to represent lifelike fighting in video games.
However, I put J Alexander in a motion capture suit and captured his "Naomi Campbell walk".
J Alexander , for those who don't know, is the go-to man to teach the latest 'just discovered working behind the tills in a supermarket' and now Stephen Meisel's latest Vogue Italia favorite, girl to glide and not stomp down the Paris runways.
He is also the wonderful cross dressing presenter in Americas Next Top model.
And at the time it was my desire to combine both the 3D scans from Sweet and the motion capture of JWalk to create a virtual model.
SHOWstudio is the laboratory for new ideas, however some ideas take longer than others to come into reality and not just stay in my mind.
13 years later and many, many 3D scanning projects later, I have at last managed to create my first virtual model.
She is, in fact, the wonderful Ming Xi, one of the most brilliant models I have worked with, and the campaign is for the Chinese Store Lane Crawford.
At the end of January SHOWstudio is moving from Mayfair to Belgravia. Here is the new space. We just need to build a beautiful cove and paint everything white. Very exciting.
John O was a lovely man.
John O was a lovely man and my black and white printer in the 1980s.
There were two brilliant printers then, John O Driscol and Brian Dowling. John O printed black and white and Brian colour.
I worked with John O on all the early Yohji Yamamoto campaigns and then on Martine Sitbon and then Jil Sander and on all my portraits.
John O could print in ways that no other printer could or had ever attempted. Using hand cut masks he managed to create prints that looked so beautiful and complex you would think they could only have been possible in Photoshop, 10 years before Photoshop was invented!
He had the patience of a saint and an unflinching determination that would mean all night printing sessions were a regular occurrence.
There is something magical about an old fashioned darkroom, everything bathed in the red light, the trays of chemicals and just watching the image appear from nowhere on the wet paper. Magical and in John O's lab totally wondrous even awe inspiring.
To allow us to view and discuss the images he would rest the wet prints on an angled viewing board where they glistened and sparkled as the water ran off them.
The deepest of blacks, jutted right up against delicate smooth dove greys. Wood smoke and jet.
Depth of tone that made your head spin.
He created prints that felt like that could knock you clean over, they had such powerful visual impact.
It is a sign of any great artist and craftsman, that his or her work physically reminds you of that person, and John O's prints certainly did.
Physically John O was big man, bearded with curly light brown hair and a big strong frame.
He was easy to smile and his eyes twinkled with mischief and delight. In all those years I can never remember him being sad or cross.
I can remember his singing and I remember his laugh.
He had a huge O. Winston Link print hanging in his darkroom, which he loved. It's the picture of the train at night, caught and rendered motionless by O Winston Links 100s of carefully positioned flash bulbs. Maybe it was the huge amount of effort and care this photographer had put into his work that touched John O, as it was exactly the effort and care he would put into creating one of his stunning prints.
John O always wanted to work for the best photographers and in the 1990s he moved to New York and printed for one of the greatest photographers of all time, Irving Penn. I know he would have made his new client really happy.
John O was a lovely man.
John Driscol passed away last week from lung cancer.
One of the questions I get asked the most is why did I start SHOWstudio, and I will always enthusiastically answer by talking about Fashion Film, new technology, showing the process and so on. However perhaps the most important reason was to be able to provide a place where I could collect around me all that I loved; the new and the different. Emerging and undiscovered talents that could have a place to grow and to blossom free from the distorting pressures of commerce.
Back in 2008 the then editor of SHOWstudio, the wonderful Penny Martin, introduced me to her new assistant, a peculiarly handsome young man who was still at the time working for the most refined of banking establishments, Coutts (as a way to fund his fashion education) and with a name that from the offset has a ring of grandeur to it; Alexander Fury.
True to the 'being thrown in at the deep end' nature of SHOWstudio one of the young Alex's first projects was a 3 day long live broadcast from Abbey Road studios, called Fashion Djs. Alex was to be introducing and talking about the acts, wether it was Stella Mc Cartney chatting by phone to Miss Piggy, Naomi Campbells top 10 or Gareth Pughs Day-Glo line dance. No rehearsal time, no script, just living off your wits. As soon as his first words flowed out across the fm airwaves, he shone. At the end of the 3 days and nights Penny took me to one side and whispered to me " he is a little star, you know."
Since that event Alex has gone on to be perhaps one of the most inspirational people I have the pleasure to work with. Our days usually start with Alex casually dropping into conversation, over a fondant fancy he favours for breakfast, some little jem of information, so obscure but so marvellous that it explodes in my mind producing a million new beginnings of ideas, anything from Baudrillard to Babe Paley. To say Alex has an encyclopaedic knowledge of fashion is really not to paint you the full picture. He can pull references for the the social etiquette of the " toilette of Marie Antionette", relate in one sentence Alexander Mcqueens shoes, the prow heads of Renaissance warships and domestic violence and tell stories of The Marchesa De Casati "who wore live snakes as jewellery and who was infamous for her evening strolls, naked beneath her furs and parading her chetahs on diamond studded leashes' as easily as most people can tell you about the weather. We often say people are inspiring but in the case of this particular young man, he is utterly in a league of his own.
A large part of Alex's job at SHOWstudio was to cover the collections. I remember really early on somewhat alarmed reports that the journalist from SHOWstudio was so overcome with excitement at one particular show he was actually applauding whilst standing on his chair. The news just made me think that that is exactly the sort of level of excitement fashion should provoke in people, so good for him I concluded and good for the designer in question too. With the show coverage I always wanted SHOWstudio to offer real critism of the fashion shows and precisely not the highly edited versions of sycophancy that are all to often seen in increasingly desperate attempts to keep fickle advertising brands loyalty.
There are of course a few times where Alex's directive from me to honestly speak his mind, has allowed his passion to get the better of his judgement and designers that were told they would "be better off dead so that they could at least have a grave to spin in" so bad has the show been, have all been calmed with me sending flowers and offering the somewhat harsh but neverthelees true explanation that at least when Alex offers a good review its the truth from his heart.
Both he and I believe firmly that fashion, like any art form, benefits from real criticism and designers like any artists want to really know how there work is percieved, there is nothing more frustrating and harmful than a lack of real debate, so I have always encouraged Alex to not pull any of his punches.
It can be no secret I am heartbroken to lose him but I will have to find a different and less selfish asseement of the situation. If SHOWstudio can provide the environment to develop and nuture talents such as Mr Alexander Fury, then every effort that I have poured into it is more than fully justified. I will never think of trying to replace him, that would not be possible, but instead, to allow the wave of brilliance he has created at SHOWstudio to attract more of the sort of people I love to have near me.
I am so enormously proud of him being given such an amazing opportuniy as he has been to work with Katie at Love Magazine and no one in their right mind would even dream of holding him back from that. Alex and I have projects that we will still work on but for now at least he is off to inspire and excite others. And to anybody else who has the chance to work with him, I would honestly advise them to realise how lucky they are and savour every moment,and relish every pearl of wisdom Alex will give.
There are in my own private sky a few really bright stars, Lee, John, Ruth, Gareth, all people who have lit up my imagination, Alex has been and will be shinning there too. Penny you could not have been more correct in your assessment of this young man.
I will miss you Alex.

My assistant Laura discovered these incredibly beautiful images by a photographer called Neil Craver, whilst researching for an up and coming underwater shoot we are organising.
I loved them so much I wanted to share them.
I went to the Alison Jacques gallery last night to see the Ryan McGinley show and had the pleasure of meeting Ryan
Ryan , this picture is for you.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I found these fantastic illustrations on a incredible old soul music channel on Youtube run by someone called Lil Darling.
Love the music 100% and love the art.
If anybody know more about these I would love to find out who did them.

Dear Little Monsters,
We will be releasing one last film on SHOWstudio from the Monster Ball tour, which will be announced soon.
For the other songs what we created are often just loops of film that are repeated for the chorus or verse and therefore sadly are not complete films.
The animated GIFs on the SHOWstudio Tumblr are a way of getting you something to remember from those songs and something to keep from the fantastic Monster Ball.
I wish I could help more.
Kindest regards,
Nick Knight
Gareth Pugh's 'Frieze' is our latest digitally remastered augmented archive project.
See Ruth Hogben and Nick Knight's fashion film documenting a 2006 shoot with British designer Gareth Pugh, styled by Nicola Formichetti and featuring a one-off selection of 'garments' created entirely out of balloons -and experience a brand new interactive feature.
I was so in love with Amy's music. So sad. Such a waste.
This is a photograph by a young French photographer who I particularly like called Marianne Maric. Her work is a mixture of the brutal, the sensual and the surreal.
Hopefully you will be seeing a lot more from her soon...

Title | Clark J. Guild: Memoirs of Careers with Nevada Bench and Bar, Lyon County Offices, and the Nevada State Museum |
Oral History # | 043 |
Interviewee | Guild, Clark J., 1887-1971 |
Interview Date | 1967 |
Document Date | 1971 |
Description | Clark Joseph Guild was born in Nevada in 1887. He is best known for his long career as a district judge and as the founder of the Nevada State Museum. Clark Guild's life was a long, distinguished one. In his oral interview, he recounts in rich detail his boyhood days in Dayton, his experience as a young man in mining and railroading, his attendance at the University of Nevada for a short period, his becoming a lawyer and district attorney of Lyon County, and his years on the District Court bench. Guild's years of service as district judge are the most interesting to scholars. Especially valuable and fascinating is the material dealing with the George Wingfield bank receivership hearings, where Guild served as the presiding judge at Carson City. Judge Guild was also particularly interested in and nostalgic about railroad abandonment cases, since he had worked on the Colorado and Carson Railroad. Perhaps the most illuminating part of the interview is the valuable information Judge Guild provides concerning his role in organizing and funding the Nevada State Museum in 1939, the beginnings of the various exhibits, and the relationship he cultivated with Major Max C. Fleischmann. Clark Guild represents a decent part of Nevada history, with his work in helping to combat juvenile delinquency and his rich friendships and associations. This document will be of interest and value to scholars who are interested in many segments of Nevada life, particularly to those interested in the Nevada State Museum, railroad abandonment cases, and the Wingfield Bank receiverships. It provides information concerning an unusually rich and varied life. |

This is a Saints Row: The Third modification that will make the ladies in the game lose their clothing. Dancing about isn't mandatory, but it is highly suggested.
1. First Make a back up of the original files: (outside the cache files directory)
2. Launch steam and Disabled the auto update of Saint Row The Third
3. Copy the files from the zip into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\saints row the third\packfiles\pc\cache

I'm a bit confused on how to install. Do I need to remove the first 3 files in step 1 after making a backup? I put the file that was downloaded into cache and tried it in dx 9/10/11...
Without those three files, the game doesnt even start. With the three files, the mod doesnt work.

nipple placement fails hard
Dose it onyl work with steam vershon plaese message back on youtube channel MrRatedPro
no it doesn't need to be on steam, wherever you have the game installed is where you'll be installing the mod.
It doesn't work with DirectX
It doesn't work with DirectX 10 or 11. You need to select DirectX 9

Thread: Find the Size of a Pelter/TEC
Find the Size of a Pelter/TEC
I have a renewed interest in a set of pelters that came with the Dell system I have (will post pics in a bit).
The are assembled into a chiller assembly with rivets. So, disassembly pretty much means a lot of work to get it back together.
How would I find out the size of the pelters in the unit? There are two.
One thought is I power it and measure how many AMPs it draws at full 12V load (assuming that they are 12V). That would give me Amps X Volts = Watts used. For example:
3.3 Amps * 12V = 40 Watts
Do you think that is accurate?[system base]
:: Dell XPS 730X Modified H2C Hybrid TEC Chassis
:: ASUS R4BE, 4930k @ 4.8 w/160 Bclk, 16 GB @ 2400
:: 2x EVGA GTX TITAN SC @ 1202 / 7200 Mhz
:: 3x 24" 120 Hz for 3D Vision Surround (6000x1080 @ 120 Hz)
:: Previous build: Shotgun Watercooling Theory v2 Build - Dead silent
Yup, that'll do it.
Be aware that without cooling a TEC will overheat and die within seconds.
Also be aware that if it's a juicy TEC (in a Dell I doubt it is) you may be looking at a 10 to 20 amp load, that'll fry a lot of lower end ammeters."Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." -- Einstein (maybe)

Epinephrine withdrawal
Common Questions and Answers about Epinephrine withdrawal
Clonidine tends to lower blood pressure, but that is not the mechanism for its effect on opioid
. Opioid
causes a state of central nervous system excitation, and clonidine has actions in the central nervous system that reduce that excitation. Amlodipine, on the other hand, is a calcium channel blocker (clonidine is an alpha-2 agonist-- affecting receptors for epinephrine) and the two meds have completely different actions.

I just learned today that having a visit with a friend will make your brain drop seratonin or
(there's like 4 or 5 chemicals/hormones are bodies are still Learning to make and regulate again) so even if your feeling down right now just know you'll start having ups too. That's a fun part. The ups and Downs. Lol. I let a friend stop by finally and felt like I was on Meth after talking for awhile.

com/Q/How_bad_is_Tramadol_withdrawal Question - How bad is Tramadol
? Answer - Ultram (Tramadol)
Tramadol is highly addictive. Normally your doctor would reduce intake slowly. Various withdrawal effects may include shakes, shivers, diarrhea, nausea, and possible flu-like symptoms. Not all people experience will all withdrawal symptoms, and some people may experience others not listed here.

First causing a release of glucose from the liver and
(adrenaline) from the adrenal medulla, it causes stimulation. Subjectively, users report feelings of relaxation, calmness, and alertness. It is even reported to produce a mildly euphoric state. By reducing the appetite and raising the metabolism, some smokers may lose weight as a consequence. It also allows the mouth to be stimulated without food and the taste of tobacco smoke may curb the appetite.

Also, babies born to mothers who have used this drug during the last 3 months of pregnancy may infrequently develop
symptoms such as feeding/breathing difficulties, seizures, muscle stiffness, or constant crying. If you notice any of these symptoms in your newborn, tell the doctor promptly. http://cymbaltasurvivors.com/index.php?topic=32.0 It is impossible to mess with nor-epinephrine without messing the the adrenal glands.

Clonidine is typically available as tablets (Catapres, Dixarit), as a transdermal patch (Catapres-TTS), or as an injectable form to be given epidurally, directly to the central nervous system. [edit] Non-FDA approved uses This medication may also be used to ease
symptoms associated with the long-term use of narcotics, alcohol and nicotine (smoking).

The longer you have been using, the longer and more intense the
will be. If you did it once a day, it might take a few days for the
to kick in. If you took opiates shortly before bed, insomnia might be the biggest problem. If you took opiates when you woke up, you might not feel like getting out of bed without them. All of this could be wrong, or it could all be right on the money. The point is opiate withdrawal will differ for everyone; however, it will universally suck.

However, it is important to note that although it produces a feeling of well being in habitual users, it releases
, a hormone which creates physiological stress in the smoker rather than relaxation.

The depression really ***** in the beginning,,you have to give your brain time to recover and start producing those chemicals again on its own. Narcotics disrupt the dopamine, nor
and serotonin chemicals in the brain. Hope you feel better soon. PAWS is a normal part of withdrawal.

I can not give you direct advice, it would not be responsible, but I can tell you that the effexor is probably a better alternative than adding
to the mix. You might try staying with the effexor longer and accommodating to the stimulant effect.

The amino acid Phenylanamine works on
, the same as methamphetamine. DPA or DLPA has helped amphetamine addicts I know to feel more motivated and have some energy. Tryrosine is another one. The ultimate remedy to put meth in remission is good nutrition, exercise, and enough time without using the drug. I also believe learning new ways of thinking and coping are vital. Tell us more about yourself and more experienced amphetamine users can help you more.

No a good idea at all to taper suboxone while on cymbalta, it will magnify the
symptoms for the simple reason that the suboxone w/d causes massive release of nor-epinephrine and cymbalta by being a re-uptake blocker will make you suffer more than expected. Try suboxone taper alone, but very slowly. Stop the fantasy of using a chemical to get off another chemical. Sobriety is the goal no substitution.

Anything that we take can have side effects so we have to do our research. When we are going thru
and have gone 30 hours without sleep, and just need something to push us over the edge into sleep, I think melatonin is great. It is much better than taking ativan, sleeping pills etc. It also can help during the few weeks where we are unable to sleep after withdrawals. Many people try different things to help them sleep. Nyquil, Benadryl, Sleepytime teas, Alteril etc.

They make your pain sensors fire more and it's hard to tell what you're really feeling. They also affect the natural production of endorphins,
, norepinephrine in your brain...This is why you feel gripey. The weight loss is common too because they curb your appetite and rob your body of vitamins and minerals. My advice? Stop taking them. You'll have minimal withdrawal. Get a good multi-vitamin, take lots of baths, potassium, magnesium-and eat some good carbs!

Initially when you quit taking the opiates you have increased pain, but with time you will find that you have less pain off of the pills than you did while taking them. As far as
symptoms go, there are several things that you can do to help you through. Staying hydrated is a biggie. No caffeinated beverages. Lots of water, juice, and gatorade. Try to eat as healthy as you can. Lots of lean proteins, fruits and veggies. Try to stay away from fatty, processed, and sugary foods.

The supplement lets off norepinephrine and

Melanin is what actually colors your skin and hair.

I find clonidine is a big help, it is an old blood pressure medication but helps temper the surge of
that you get while detoxing and is responsible for many of the nasty symptoms. Also, I have found some help in amino acids and other supplements . Many others on here know more than I do, but I am taking quite a few including Emergen c, tyrosine, theanine, Lysine , calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc. I would be happy to tell you more if you are interested.

Usually not that long, but being sluggish and mentally slow is a common
and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors as well as amphetamines. Wild guess on my part, about two weeks and your brain should start kicking in, then recovery of energy and clarity for "awhile." Many factors play a role. Even my guess is vague, but I know it will pass. I can't take that drug, or my doc thinks I shouldn't, though I like Salvador Dali.

Caffeine was reintroduced-never allowing for sufficient
times-and significant improvements. Proportionate to toxicity, physical

Following physical recovery, residual mental symptoms, primarily confusion and mood alterations, may exist for several months.
