Sildenafil Citrate
Sildenafil Citrate
Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), or impotence, in men.
Labeled use
Viagra treats erectile dysfunction, the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection of the penis that is adequate for sexual intercourse. Ten to fifteen million men in the United States suffer from ED, and by age 65, up to 25% of men have experienced impotence problems. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a number of physical and psychological conditions, including diabetes, depression, prostate cancer, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, artherosclerosis, and heart disease. Injuries to the penis that cause nerve, tissue, or vascular damage can trigger impotence. It is also a common side effect of some prescription medications, including antihistamines, antidepressants, antihypertensives, antipsychotics, beta blockers, diuretics, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants, cimetidine (Tagamet), and finasteride (Propecia).
A study of African American and Hispanic men published in 2002 reported that Viagra appears to be equally safe and equally effective across different racial and ethnic groups in the United States.
Investigational uses
Although not approved for use in women, clinical studies have shown that sildenafil citrate may be effective in relieving female sexual dysfunction for some women. In one study, both female and male study participants who suffered from sexual dysfunction related to their use of such psychotropic medications as benzodiazepines reported an increase in arousal and overall sexual satisfaction when they began taking Viagra. Several studies have also indicated the drug may be effective in improving libido and arousal in women taking selective serotonin uptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Another possible use of sildenafil in women is the treatment of infertility. Women who have had repeated failures with in vitro fertilization (IVF) due to poor development of the tissue that lines the uterus may benefit from treatment with vaginal suppositories containing sildenafil. One study reported that 70% of patients had a significant thickening of the uterine lining, with 29% having a successful implantation of a new embryo, and 45% achieving ongoing pregnancies.
Another investigational study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, and published in the August 2000 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation found that Viagra may have additional clinical promise for people with diabetes beyond treating ED. In animal studies, Viagra was effective in relaxing the pyloric muscle of stomach, improving digestion and relieving the symptoms of gastroparesis. Up to 75% of people with diabetes suffer from gastroparesis, which causes bloating, nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Further human studies are needed to evaluate Viagra's effectiveness in treating this common diabetic complication.
Because of its capacity to enhance nitric oxide production, sildenafil has been investigated as a possible treatment for other disorders that are caused by impaired nitric oxide production. One such disorder is esophageal motility dysfunction (achalasia ), in which the smooth muscles of the esophagus and the cardiac sphincter remain constricted, causing difficulty in swallowing, regurgitation of food, and chest pain when eating. A study published in 2000 in the journal Gastroenterology found that sildenafil temporarily improved the condition in some patients by relaxing the lower esophageal muscles. An Italian study reported in 2002 that sildenafil shows genuine promise as a treatment for spastic esophageal disorders.
Viagra is not labeled or approved for use by women or children, or by men without erectile dysfunction. The medication may also be contraindicated (not recommended for use) in patients with certain medical conditions.
Because sexual activity can stress the heart, men who have heart problems should check with their physician to see if sexual activity is recommended. Viagra may trigger temporary hypotension (low blood pressure) and is known to increase cardiovascular nerve activity, so it is prescribed with caution in men with a history of heart attack, artherosclerosis, angina, arrhythmia, and chronic low blood pressure problems. However, a study published in the March 15, 2001, British Medical Journal found no evidence that the drug causes a higher incidence of heart attack. A four-year update on the safety of Viagra published in September 2002 corroborated the findings of the British report, and stated that the only absolute contraindication for the use of sildenafil is the concurrent use of nitrates.
Anyone experiencing cardiovascular symptoms such as dizziness, chest or arm pain, and nausea when participating in sexual activity after taking Viagra should stop the encounter. They should also not take Viagra again until they have discussed the episode with their healthcare provider.
It is recommended that men with kidney or liver impairments, and men over age 65, start at the lowest possible dosage of Viagra (25 mg). Clinical studies have shown that the drug builds up in the plasma of these patients to a concentration that is three to eight times higher than normal. Caution is also recommended in prescribing the drug to individuals with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic eye disorder. Viagra should not be taken more than once per day by anyone.
Viagra has not been studied for use on patients with stomach ulcers and bleeding disorders, and its safety in these individuals is unknown. Men who have either of these conditions should let their physician know before taking Viagra. It should also be used with caution in men with misshapen or deformed penises, such as those with Peyronie's disease, cavernosal fibrosis, or with angulation of the penis.
Men who take medications containing nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate) should never take Viagra, as the interaction between the two drugs may cause a dramatic drop in blood pressure, and possibly trigger a heart attack or stroke. This includes illegal recreational drugs such as amyl nitrates (also known as poppers).
Viagra may also interact with other prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, either magnifying or diluting the intended therapeutic effects of one or both drugs. Some drugs that have a known interaction with Viagra include the protease inhibitor ritonavir and the antibiotic erythromycin. For this reason, it is critical that men who are prescribed Viagra let their healthcare providers know all the medications they are taking.
Other medications and therapies for erectile dysfunction, including vacuum or pump devices, drug injections (Caverject), and urethral suppositories (MUSE), should never be used in conjunction with Viagra.
Sildenafil citrate was originally developed in 1991 as a treatment for angina, or chest pain. The drug, marketed under the name Viagra, received FDA market clearance as a treatment for impotence in March 1998, and since that time it has been prescribed for over 10 million men worldwide. It was the first oral medication approved for ED treatment. A newer drug, tadalafil, has been developed to treat men who do not respond to sildenafil. Tadalafil has gained preliminary approval in the European Union (EU), and is in the final stages of regulatory approval in Canada as of November 2002.
Viagra is a vasodilator, a drug that has the effect of dilating the blood vessels. It works by improving blood circulation to the penis, and by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, the agent that relaxes the smooth muscle of the penis and regulates blood vessels during sexual stimulation, allowing the penis to become engorged and achieve an erection.
The average recommended dose of Viagra is 50 mg. For men that do not respond adequately to this amount, the dosage may be increased up to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The medication is taken approximately one hour before sexual activity is planned, and may remain effective for up to four hours.
Viagra does not increase sexual desire. Sexual stimulation and arousal are required for the medication to be effective. Despite its widespread use as a recreational drug, it is not an aphrodisiac and there is no clinical evidence that it improves sexual performance in men who are not suffering from ED.
Many insurance plans provide coverage or reimbursement for sildenafil citrate provided it is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction. A 1999 report issued by a health insurance consulting group indicated that almost half of the men taking Viagra at least once weekly receive insurance reimbursement for the drug. The pills cost approximately $10 each, and insurers may limit coverage to a specific number of pills each month.
Viagra requires time to be absorbed by the body and become effective. The average recommended time frame for taking the drug is one hour before initiating sexual activity, although depending on an individual's response to the drug, this time can vary from four hours to 30 minutes.
Men should always consult with their physician before beginning treatment with sildenafil citrate. The medication is not for everyone, and a healthcare professional needs to evaluate medical history and perform a thorough medical examination before prescribing the drug. In addition, erectile dysfunction may be a symptom of an undiagnosed condition (i.e., diabetes) for which treatment is critical, and may actually reverse the impotence problem.
The most commonly reported side effects of Viagra are headache, flushing of the face, upset stomach, and nasal congestion.
Other less common side effects include, but are not limited to:
- vision problems, including sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and a color tinge to vision
- urinary tract infection
- diarrhea
- dizziness
- rash
Side effects may be reduced or eliminated through adjustments to dosage. Men who experience these symptoms should consult their physician.
Priapism, a painful and prolonged erection that lasts for two to six hours, is a rare but potentially serious side effect of Viagra. Because prolonged erection can permanently damage the tissues of the penis, anyone who experiences an erection lasting over four hours should call a healthcare professional immediately.
Men who are taking Viagra and inadvertently or intentionally take a medication containing nitrates may suffer from life-threatening hypotension—a severe drop in blood pressure.
The cardiovascular risks of sildenafil citrate are still under investigation. The drug is known to cause dips in blood pressure and to boost cardiovascular nerve activity. Some cardiovascular-related deaths have been reported in men who use Viagra, but it is unclear whether the fatalities were due to the drug itself or to the underlying heart disease. Further complicating the picture is the fact that the stress of sexual activity may have triggered the fatal cardiac event with or without the use of Viagra. The BMJ study, and a report published in the April 18, 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggest that the drug does not increase the risk of heart attack. However, JAMA also notes that further studies are necessary to confirm this finding.
Angina— Angina pectoris, or chest pain, caused by an insufficient supply of oxygen and decreased blood flow to the heart muscle. Angina is frequently the first sign of coronary artery disease.
Angulation of the penis— Abnormal bend or angle to the structure of the penis.
Antidepressants— Medications prescribed to relieve major depression. Classes of antidepressants include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (fluoxetine/Prozac, sertraline/Zoloft), tricyclics (amitriptyline/ Elavil), MAOIs (phenelzine/Nardil), and heterocyclics (bupropion/Wellbutrin, trazodone/Desyrel).
Antihistamines— A drug used to treat allergic conditions that counteracts histamines—a substance in the body that causes itching, vascular changes, and mucus secretion when released by cells.
Antihypertensives— Medications used to treat high blood pressure.
Antipsychotics— A class of drugs used to control psychotic symptoms in patients with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and delusional disorder. Antipsychotics include risperidone (Risperdal), haloperidol (Haldol), and chlorpromazine (Thorazine).
Arrhythmia— Irregular heartbeat caused by erratic electrical signals or nerve impulses to the cardiac muscles.
Artherosclerosis— The cause of coronary artery disease, in which the walls of the coronary arteries thicken due to the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels.
Beta blockers— Drugs that lower blood pressure and reduce stress to the heart by blocking the actions of beta receptors that control the speed and strength of heart muscle contractions and blood vessel dilation.
Cavernosal fibrosis— The formation of abnormal fibrous tissue in the erectile tissue of the penis.
Diuretics— Any substance that increases urine output.
Erectile dysfunction— Impotence; the inability of a man to achieve and/or maintain an erection of sufficient quality for sexual intercourse.
Gastroparesis— Nerve damage of the stomach that delays or stops stomach emptying, resulting in nausea, vomiting, bloating, discomfort, and weight loss.
Peyronie's disease— A disease which causes a hardening of the corpora cavernosa, the erectile tissue of the penis. The penis may become misshapen and/or curved as a result.
Placebo— An inactive substance with no pharmacological action that is administered to some patients in clinical trials to determine the relative effectiveness of another drug administered to a second group of patients.
Priapism— A painful, abnormally prolonged erection (i.e., four or more hours).
Protease inhibitor— A drug that inhibits the action of enzymes.
Retinitis pigmentosa— An inherited degenerative eye disease that impairs night vision and drastically narrows the field of vision.
Selective serotonin uptake inhibitors (SSRIs)— Drugs that regulate depression by blocking the reabsorption of serotonin in the brain consequently raising serotonin levels. SSRIs include fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), and paroxetine (Paxil).
Serotonin— One of three major neurotransmitters found in the brain that is linked to emotions.
Although it is a prescription drug, as of early 2001 there was still a thriving illicit market for Viagra via the Internet. Aside from the health risks recreational use of the drug poses to individuals with heart conditions and other contraindicated disorders, any adverse effects caused by Viagra cannot be tracked by regulatory authorities if it has been illegally obtained. In addition, the drug appears to be toxic in large doses. In November 2002, a group of French toxicologists reported the case of a 56-year-old male who took a fatal overdose of Viagra.
Normal results
When used as directed, Viagra allows men with erectile dysfunction to achieve and maintain a penile erection when aroused during sexual activity. Double-blind, randomized clinical trials of sildenafil citrate have shown that the drug has an 63-82% efficacy rate in improving erectile activity among men with ED, depending on the dose administered (between 25 and 100 mg), compared to a 24% improvement in men receiving a placebo.

Not sure what to make of the snail renewal cream or the placenta serum?
Check the customer reviews to find out what others thought!
I was given this lovely mask from my friend and it just surprised me ! It calmed and softened my skin quickly and left hydrated for long after. Would like to try other masks in the range and see which is best for my skin!
Really highly recommended creams for the skin face.
The first time I tried this cream, when my husband returned from NZ and he brought me this cream on september 2014.
Before i try this cream, my skin becomes dry because wrong of cosmetics and slightly oily that's why my face have acne. But after i used this cream, twice a day, my face becomes more supple, toned, soft, free from acne and brighter.
REALLY HAPPY. I LOVE beauteous® PlaGold Cream. Thank you for my lovely husband because you bring me this cream. Now i buy for the second jar of beauteous® PlaGold Cream and i also buy beauteous® PlaToux Ampoules and beauteous® PlaGold Essence
I received these as a gift from a friend who has used them for about a year for her wrinkles. I have quite deep forehead and smile lines and wanted to improve the way they looked. I've never used placenta products before but I need not have worried. The serum goes on very smoothly and is absorbed very quickly - smells great, too. I started noticing that the lines were much less deep after a couple of weeks and now, after 4 weeks there's definitely a marked improvement, even my husband commented! I plan to add the moisturiser from the range to my routine once my existing one runs out and hopefully the results will be even faster!

Many of us take for granted that we find oranges, lemons and even grapefruit in the shops pretty much all year round, but the fact is, that it is only now – during winter – when citrus fruit is actually in season. My theory, is that its mother nature's way of looking after us…we need all that vitamin C from citrus to help fight off those winter flues after all, right?!?!
But honestly, citrus fruit is often seen as a side note and not often makes it onto menus as the star of the show. You know, a squeeze of lemon here and there, a slice of orange as a garnish etc, very rarely is it the main attraction. Well, the time is now to give citrus the sensational title it rightly deserves.
My attitude towards cooking is always to endeavour to use produce within its relevant season. Not only does it then taste amazing because it is at its optimum ripeness, but it is also kind on your wallet because it is available in such abundance.
The versatility of citrus fruit is what makes it so endearing to me, you'll find it used across the board in a number of cuisines, from French food to Thai food. And what's even greater is that it is neither savoury nor sweet, the options for recipe ideas are endless.
With the winter bounty of citrus fruits currently available – everything ranging from lemons to oranges to grapefruit to limes to kumquats to pomelo and Minneola's…just to name a few, we are spoilt for choice. I do have a personal favourite though… naartjies! (Or Satsumas as they are known to people outside of South Africa).
I adore a sweet, succulent naartjie any time of the day; I love to add a generous squeeze of naartjie juice to my bircher muesli to give it a freshness in the morning. Or what about trading in your morning orange juice for naartjie juice? Forget about putting slices of lemon in your ice tea, I go for naartjies….they add a natural sweetness and a mild acidity. I also love making naartjie marmalade, it's less bitter than the orange variety that we are all used to. But my show-stopper recipe when it comes to naartjies…my upside down naartjie cake – YUM!

CHICAGO, Illinois (AFP) – A group of 83 passengers from the Asiana Airlines flight that crash-landed in San Francisco has filed a lawsuit seeking millions from the aircraft's manufacturer Boeing, their lawyers said.
While a final determination of what caused the deadly crash of the Boeing 777 is years away, Chicago-based Ribbeck Law said initial reports indicate it could have been caused by a mechanical malfunction of the auto-throttle.
Boeing could also have been at fault for the design of sliding ramps which deployed inside the plane, "further injuring passengers and blocking their exit to safety," Ribbeck said in a press release.
There were also possibly problems with the seatbelts given that police officers "had to pass knives to crew members inside the burning wreckage" so they could cut passengers free," Ribbeck said.
The class action lawsuit was filed in Chicago, Boeing's corporate headquarters.
It will be expanded in coming days to include Asiana and several component part manufacturers "who may be responsible for this disaster," Ribbeck said.
The Asiana jet from Shanghai via Seoul clipped a sea wall with its tail as it came in to land at the US airport on July 6 and skidded out of control before catching fire, leaving three dead and more than 180 injured.

AUSTIN - Texas representatives and senators met in a unique joint hearing on Thursday, May 21, at the State Capitol to hear testimony regarding state children's health insurance programs and their funding. Members of the Senate Interim Committee on Children's Health Insurance, the House Committee on Appropriations, and the House Committee on Public Health listened to invited testimony from various state agencies and commissions.
The Senate Committee on Children's Health Insurance is chaired by Senator Mike Moncrief of Fort Worth and includes Senators Eliot Shapleigh of El Paso and Bill Ratliff of Mount Pleasant. The 25-member House Committee on Appropriations is chaired by Representative Robert Junell of San Angelo and vice-chaired by Representative Dianne Delisi of Temple. Representative John Hirschi of Wichita Falls chairs the 8-member House Committee on Public Health.
The Legislative Budget Board provided the members with facts about Children's Health Insurance Programs, or CHIP, including what health benefits they offer, comparisons with other states' CHIP programs, and how federal financing works. To increase the number of children with health insurance in the state, CHIP programs are targeted to children at or below the federal poverty level. The members were also briefed on the program's funding, federal matching scale, limitations, and eligibility regulations.
Other testimony provided came from Rhonda Myron with the Texas Department of Insurance and Ty Hamilton who gave an overview of the Texas Healthy Kids Corporation. Linda Wetz gave an overview of the programs from the State Medicaid Office. Presenting the Governor's Proposal for CHIP was Dr. Reyn Archer who serves as the Texas Commissioner of Health.
The committees also looked into the CHIP eligibility regulations. The staff from the Health and Human Services Commission provided the members with an eligibility policy presentation. The members then heard from a panel of witnesses regarding eligibility policies.
Each committee will gather their findings and make any recommendations to the 76th Legislature which convenes in January of next year.

Members are collecting huge share counts but no blocks are being discovered. This is not even vaguely normal for this pool -- thinking something's gone wrong! In contrast, Kickass is progressing normally. Can somebody check into this?
Thanks -- Trevor
I'll keep an eye out for minerpools on IRC - he comes in the channel regularly. For what it's worth he seems like a straight-shooter so I'm sure we'll figure out whatever there might be to figure out. I'll keep you updated.
Best regards,
Thanks man,
Yes, I'm impacted by this, but others are as well! There should have been an earnings increment hours ago! Share count shouldn't get anywhere near this high!
Just checked Minerpools again and after eight hours it finally found a block! My experience is that's entirely out of character for this pool (usually ten minutes to maybe ninety, but multiple hours?). If I'm just over-reacting let me know and I'll try to temper my expectations!
Strange! The pool appeared stalled for some eight hours, but now seems to be running normally again! Some glitch? In any case, glad it's running again!
Could have been them having an issue or just no luck finding a block. I just missed minerpools on IRC. I'll keep an eye open though sorry!
Hi TrevorS:
Yes, the pool had high share count on a few blocks, most notably 17074: https://neos.minerpools.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=round&height=17074This is sometimes also caused by pool-hopping, around that time the pool's hashrate dropped and took longer to find a block.But rest assured the pool's running fine and will keep finding blocks constantly.Any issues or info you can always reach me at #minerpools - freenode.
Thanks for the responses guys :)! Seems to me minerpools SHA256 Neos is once again running fine, so if it was a glitch, it appears to be glitching no more! My best to both :)!

RE: "Law on student loans could pose challenges to employers – experts" (The New Times, September 4).
Whatever employers and lawyers want, this is a historical moment in education. If your judgment begins with skepticism, your ruling will equally be minus.
Why does the Private Sector Federation (PSF) boss think this is a burden? The least PSF can do in this case is facilitating recovery; the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee has always pointed fingers to incompetent accountants; it is through this initiative that access to higher education will become almost universal.
I am of the view that employers demand access to information relating to education loans. Educating many Rwandans is a collective responsibility that none of us should shy away from — default emanating from employers' indifference tantamount to denial of higher education to other generations to come. Moreover, our banks should be supported to succeed in this partnership.
I had anticipated that this law would oblige employers to finance higher education since they are ultimate beneficiaries of the scheme through competent graduates. With the advent of digital world, where Rwandans are actively involved, recovery will be simple; like they say where there is a will there is a way.
JK's opinion focuses on one side without assessing its implication on the job market and financial costs for employers. I believe every employer would go for employees who pose minimum risks. Obviously, it will be a key factor in the hiring process.
The question here is legality not what we think. A contract is entered into between the financial institution and the creditor. Where does the employer enter in this equation? Which employer will hire an employee with a loan when there is another one without a university education loan to service, given the additional burden that is placed on the employer's shoulders?
I would suggest that they instead partner with the credit bureau to address the issue but not oblige the employer to deduct money from the employee's salary.
Let us not forget that we are talking about a private contract between two parties, otherwise we may end up with laws that are repugnant to each other.
In any case, this is a loan like any other from any financial institution. Why promulgate a special law for this kind of loan only? This is an investment loan with returns and should be treated as such.

real paranoia: Was Seung-Hui Cho a Mind Controlled Assassin?
Submitted by lee on Thu, 04/19/2007 - 21:02
Deadly accuracy, disturbing revelations suggest outside involvement in VA Massacre, cocktail of brainwashing from prozac, violent video games contributed to carnage Seung-Hui Cho was a mind-controlled assassin, whether you believe he was under the influence of outside parties or not, the fact is that the cultural brainwashing of violent video games and psychotropic drugs directly contributed, as it does in all these cases, to the carnage at Virginia Tech on Monday morning.
Gun grabbers are already exploiting the tragedy to disarm future students from the opportunity of being able to defend themselves against deranged killers, but the media circus is completely silent when it comes to the laying blame at the feet of a deadly cocktail of mind-warping drugs and bloodthirsty shoot-em-ups. Outside of the obvious culpability of the factors we see in every mass shooting - video games and "antidepressant" drugs, numerous red flags concerning Monday events are beginning to suggest that Cho was more than a heartbroken nutcase with an axe to grind. Charles Mesloh, Professor of Criminology at Florida Gulf Coast University, told NBC 2 News that he was shocked Cho could have killed 32 people with two handguns absent expert training. Mesloh immediately assumed that Cho must have used a shotgun or an assault rifle. "I'm dumbfounded by the number of people he managed to kill with these weapons," said Mesloh, "The only thing I can figure is that he got close to them and he simply executed them." Mesloh said the killer performed like a trained professional, "He had a 60% fatality rate with handguns - that's unheard of given 9 millimeters don't kill people instantly," said Mesloh, stating that the handguns Cho used were designed for "plinking at cans," not executing human beings.
Cho was certainly no slouch, in the two hour gap between the first reported shootings and the wider rampage that would occur later in the morning, during which time the University completely failed to warn the students despite having loudspeakers stationed throughout the campus, Cho had time to film a confession video, transfer it to his computer, burn it onto a DVD, package it up, travel to the post office, post the package, and travel back to his dorm room to retrieve his guns and then travel back to the opposite end of the campus to resume the killing spree. The almost inconceivable speed of Cho's actions become more suspicious when we recall initial reports that there were two shooters.
Even if we rule out the fact that Cho had received expert firearms training, the cultural mind control of violent video games and mind-altering psychotropic drugs were themselves a cocktail of brainwashing that directly contributed to the carnage, as they do in nearly all these cases. From the very first reports of the shootings we predicted the killer would be on prozac, would have recently been in psychiatric care and would have regularly played violent video games and that has precisely turned out to be accurate in all three instances. "Several Korean youths who knew Cho Seung Hui from his high school days said he was a fan of violent video games, particularly a game called "Counterstrike," a hugely popular online game in which players join terrorism or counterterrorism groups and try to shoot each other using all types of guns," reports Newsmax citing the Washington Post. "In December 2005 -- more than a year before Monday's mass shootings -- a district court in Montgomery County, Va., ruled that Cho presented "an imminent danger to self or others."
That was the necessary criterion for a detention order, so that Cho, who had been accused of stalking by two female schoolmates, could be evaluated by a state doctor and ordered to undergo outpatient care," reports ABC News , " but despite the court identifying the future killer as a risk, they let him go. Investigators believe that Cho Seung Hui, the Virginia Tech murderer, had been taking anti-depressant medication at some point before the shootings, according to The Chicago Tribune .
Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, as well as 15-year-old Kip Kinkel, the Oregon killer who gunned down his parents and classmates, were all on psychotropic drugs. Scientific studies proving that prozac encourages suicidal tendencies in young people are voluminous and span back nearly a decade. Jeff Weise, the Red Lake High School killer was on prozac , "Unabomber" Ted Kaczinski, Michael McDermott, John Hinckley, Jr., Byran Uyesugi, Mark David Chapman and Charles Carl Roberts IV, the Amish school killer, were all on SSRI psychotropic drugs. Since these deadly drugs are prevalent in almost all mass shooting incidents, where is the call to ban prozac?
Why is the knee-jerk reaction always to attack the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans to self-defense, a right that was exercised in January 2002 when students subdued a shooter at another Virginia university before he could kill more than three people because they were allowed guns on campus? Why are the deeper reasons behind what motivates young men to kill pushed aside while control freaks demand that law-abiding citizens be disarmed of the only thing that can protect them from such madmen? Questions about the sequence of events on Monday, VA Tech, as well as the profile of the killer are arousing increased suspicion.
We have been receiving numerous calls and e mails alerting us to the fact that VA Tech is pulling links from its website concerning their relationship with the CIA. Reports from November 2005 confirm that the CIA was active in operating recruitment programs based out of VA Tech. Several professors from VA Tech are involved in government programs linked with NASA and other agencies. Wikipedia also pulled a bizarre recently taken photograph of Cho wearing a U.S. Marines uniform. Such details only fan the flames of accusations that Cho could have been a Manchurian Candidate, a mind-controlled assassin.
The CIA's program to create mind-controlled assassins that could be triggered by code words, MK ULTRA, is not a conspiracy theory, it's a historical fact documented by declassified government files and Senate hearings . President Bill Clinton himself had to apologize for the program before he left office. On the Senate floor in 1977, Senator Ted Kennedy said, "The Deputy Director of the CIA revealed that over thirty universities and institutions were involved in an 'extensive testing and experimentation' program which included covert drug tests on unwitting citizens 'at all social levels, high and low, native Americans and foreign."
One such victim of these experiments was Cathy O'Brien, who immediately after the shootings re-iterated the revelations in her latest book, that Blacksburg Virginia is a central location for mind control programs that are still ongoing today. CIA mind control programs can be tracked back to the 1950's and Project BLUEBIRD, later renamed ARTICHOKE. From blogger Kurt Nimmo; "BLUEBIRD was approved by the CIA director on April 20, 1950. In August 1951, the Project was renamed ARTICHOKE. BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE included a great deal of work on the creation of amnesia, hypnotic couriers, and the Manchurian Candidate," writes Colin A. Ross, MD. "ARTICHOKE documents prove that hypnotic couriers functioned effectively in real-life simulations conducted by the CIA in the early 1950's. The degree to which such individuals were used in actual operations is still classified…. BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE were administered in a compartmented fashion. The details of the programs were kept secret even form other personnel within the CIA…. The BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE materials establish conclusively that full Manchurian Candidates were created and tested successfully by physicians with TOP SECRET clearance from the CIA…. As well as being potential couriers and infiltration agents, the subjects could function in effect as hypnotically controlled cameras.
They could enter a room or building, memorize materials quickly, leave the building, and then be amnesic for the entire episode. The memorized material could then be retrieved by a handler using a previously implanted code or signal, without the amnesia being disturbed. Hypnosis was not the mind control doctors' only method for creation of controlled amnesia, however. Drugs, magnetic fields, sound waves, sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, and many other methods were studied under BLUEBIRD and ARTHICHOKE." Researchers into supposed "lone nut" assassinations time and time again run across evidence pointing to CIA mind control experimentation. The best example is Sirhan Sirhan, Bobby Kennedy's assassin. Sirhan was found to be in a completely trance-like state after pulling the trigger and couldn't even remember shooting Kennedy when asked about the incident days later. Sirhan's lawyer, Lawrence Teeter, has presented convincing evidence that Sirhan was under mind control. Either way you cut it, Seung-Hui Cho was a victim of brainwashing and mind control. The right questions are not being asked and the finger of blame is being pointed in the wrong direction, ensuring that another tragedy like the VA Tech Massacre is almost guaranteed.

The worlds of Too Human are as tricky to describe as the game itself. Based heavily on two distinct and different genres - sci-fi cyberpunk and Norse mythology - the setting promises to be one that players have never, ever visited or experienced before.
Gods and goddesses still rule over mankind, but enhance their divine powers through cybernetic upgrades. Machines threaten to eradicate all humans, but only by reaping our blood and limbs, thus becoming more human themselves. Alternate universes can be traversed through cyberspace, which is accessed via a giant, magical tree.
Intrigued? Mystified? Overwhelmed? We understand, which is why we've asked the developers to give us - and you - an exclusive, in-depth tour into the game's world... and into their imaginations.
Our second part delves deep beneath the snow and ice to an ancient Viking burial site called the Hall of Heroes. Here, players will connect to the universe's monumental history, as well as encounter its first horrifying monsters.
The following descriptions were provided by Silicon Knights. For more exclusive screenshots and concept artwork,head here.
The Hall of Heroes
Buried beneath the snow and ice of ancient mountains lies what was once a place of reverence and mournful respect.
Once it was resplendent with banners and effigies of great warriors who had sacrificed all they had to the survival of humanity. It was a place of funerary ritual, where heroes would be honored to voyage to Valhalla and spend the years before Ragnarok with Odin. During the height of the wars that followed the destruction of the YMIR, places like this were commonplace.
Now it is broken down and a ruined echo of its former glory; parasitized by goblins and used as a forward base for something even more sinister: the rogue, unclassified killing machine - GRNDL-1 - that has begun to terrorize the outlying settlements of Midgard.
The Cult of Odin
A hundred years after the Ymir were destroyed and the war against their soulless offspring grew to lethal intensity, the entity known as ODIN began to be worshipped as a god. Although few knew his precise origin, they only needed to know that he alone was responsible for pulling humanity from the fires of destruction. As the years passed and the Aesir replaced the ailing warriors who fought alongside Odin died of old age, worship of ODIN grew radically.

Damian Young - A variety of stars were photographed as they attended the premiere of HBO's "The Comeback" which was held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, United States - Thursday 6th November 2014
After 31 years of marriage, Kay is starting to feel disheartened by the lack of a spark between her and her husband Arnold. Desperate for romance and intimacy again, Kay searches out a well-known specialist in marriage counselling who she arranges to visit to enrol in one week of therapy sessions in order to rekindle their relationship. She drags a reluctant Arnold on a plane to the town of Great Hope Springs for the counselling that will prove either futile or life-changing; it certainly doesn't look like an easy task what with the couple being faced with their sexual reservations and, conversely, each other's illicit fantasies.

|Iris Mini Vessel by FantasyClay
I just finished this iris decorated mini vessel. I used the technique I learned from Christi Friesen. I can't compare to her work but I love this piece. As you can see it this shot of my removing the base I built the vessel around, the top ruffles out, almost like a petal itself.
I was particularly proud of the iris, it can out better than the first one and the lavender and white just scream spring to me.Irises are my Mom's favorite flower so it felt really cool getting one to come out nicely.
It's about 2 inches or 5 cm tall and it's for sale in my shop Green Mini Vessel

Turtle View Residence - Reader Reports & Opinion
Guest Report
Jane Awai from Trinidad visited in March 2009 and awarded
The Manager of Turtle View, Jason Williams, was extremely helpful and provided the small fridge and kettle we requested as no rooms with kitchen facilities were available. The room was comfortable although the shower floor was rather slippery. The pool area is very pleasant. We did not take meals so I cannot review the food. I would definitely stay there again.
Guest Report
Sarah from Trinidad visited in February 2009 and awarded
Our stay at Turtle View was wonderful! We had a 1 bedroom apartment with separate kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 TVs and a patio. Although basic in decor, the rooms were clean and we were very very comfortable. The huge gardens, although unkept were great for our two young children. And the pool was perfect - positionned to catch the sun from morning to evening. The staff were friendly yet very unintrusive - at times, we felt like if we were the only guests there, which of course is how you want to feel when you are in the paradise that 'Bago is! Would definitely stay here again!
Guest Report
Juha Hiltunen from Finland visited in February 2009 and awarded
Really nice and friendly place. Easy access to Turtle beach and Stone haven beach and to Plymouth. Definitely going again to same place, probably three or four weeks this time. Breakfast and ecspesially barbeque was good but we had own kitchen so we did our own food.
Guest Report
Laverne from Trinidad visited in July 2006 and awarded
Turtle View Residence
I would recommend to couples, looking to spend quality time. The rooms are spacious and beautiful.
The scenery is colourful and fits in with the landscapping and the large pool.
Get ready to be taken away. Truly, to paradise.

From Texas, USA:
I am a 13 year old who was diagnosed at age six. I used to take good care of myself but now that I'm a teenager I don't. I'm involved in sports and a lot of after and before school activities. My blood sugars are never good and even sometimes I'll forget shots.
You should be commended for your involvement in after school activities and sports! And most importantly, you have recognized that good blood sugar management is important and you are asking for help. The best place to start is with frequent blood glucose monitoring. I know that monitoring is sometimes frustrating, especially when the numbers are high. Remember, the numbers are not "good or bad" -- they are simply a tool on which you, your parents and your healthcare team can base decisions about insulin, carbohydrate management, even exercise! There are many small, fast, convenient meters available to check blood sugar. If you don't already have one, do get yourself one.
To manage exercise blood sugars you will need to self-monitor both before and after exercise. This will allow you to see how exercise itself affects your blood sugar, as well as to see where your levels are before exercise at that particular time of day. Write the numbers down and watch for patterns. You will learn a lot this way! Work with your own diabetes team to control any highs or consistent lows you are having. Remember, you are the most important member of your diabetes team!
If you are forgetting shots, you may want to ask about the possibility of an insulin pen. It is a convenient way to carry insulin, and may be helpful to you. An insulin pump may also be a consideration down the road, however a pump does require a great deal of thought, motivation, commitment, and frequent blood glucose monitoring 4-8 times per day. Having said that though, there are lots of teens and adults who successfully use and love insulin pumps. Talk to your diabetes team; they can help you find the options that work for you!
