A disease so painful and far-reaching in its effects
upon the human system as Rheumatism, must have a deep
and well-laid foundation. It originates and develops in
the blood, and, like other diseases of the blood, is fre
quently inherited. The poisonous acids with which the
blood is charged circulate through the system, breaking
down the health, irritating

Yes, more so than any other Expo

Rheumatism, being a constitutional blood disease, requires internal treat-

only temporary relief. S. S. S. is the recognized great

Less Fear of a Rupture in Rela
tions Between Russia and
Great Britain.
Russia Promises Full Reparation
If She Has Committed
Any Wrong.
Lomlon, July 29.The tension in
the Rnssn-British relations has been
relaxed and no rupture is now prob
able. Count Benckendorff, the Rus
sian ambassador to Great Britain, in
formed Lord Lansdowne during the
morning that if Russia had committed
a wrong she was ready and willing to
make full reparation, but before any
action could be taken in the Knight
Commander case the Russian govern
ment must have the opportunity of re
ceiving the report of the commander
of the Vladivostok squadron. Lord
Lansdowne was not disposed to un
duly press the matter and promised to
wait a reasonable time.
It developed during the day that the
United States is depending on Great
Britain to obtain compensation for the
loss of the Knight Commander's cargo.
It is the custom for shipowners to be
responsible for cargoes and therefore
the American claim is to be made to
the owneis of the Knight Commander,
who, of course, are British, and who in
turn will make a claim to the British
Premier Balfour's Statemeht.
In the house of commons during the
afternoon Premier Balfour said the
acute stage ol the Red sea incidents
had passed and that the Russian vol
unteer fleet vessels would be with
drawn. He laid down the British view
that no belligerent's warship could
issue from the Black sea and that the
volunteer fleet vessels in issuing there
from, if they took belligerent action,
either had rio right to issue or no
right to take such action.
The strongest possible exception
had been taken to the seizure of the
Malacca on the above ground, the pre
mier added.
The Russian government has met
the British contention in regard to
this particular incident. As to the
Knight Commander case the govern
ment had earnestly protested that the
sinking of that vessel was contrary
to the accepted practice of nations.
"There are, I am sorry to say," said
the premier, "other questions not con
nected with the incident at all which
must cause some discussion between
the two governments and, like all dis
cussions between governments, there
may be legitimate cause for anxiety.
We hold that it is not proper that on
the authority of the captain of a
cruiser that goods alleged to be con
traband of war would be taken from
a merchant ship without trial."
This statement of the premier was
greeted with an outburst of cheers.

St. Petersburg, July 29.Minister of
the Interior von Plehve was assas
sinated at 10 a. m. while driving to
the Baltic station to visit the emperor
at Peterhof. A bomb was thrown un
der the minister's carriage, complete
ly shattering it. M. von Plehve ,_was
terribly mangled. The coachman was
killed ami the wounded and maddened
horses dashed wildly away with the
front wheels of the carriage, the only
portion of the vehicle remaining in
tact. Immediately there ensued a
scene of the wildest confusion. Po-
lice and gendarmes hurried up from
every direction and vast crowds gath
ered about the spot where the man
gled body of the minister lay welter
ing in his blood.
The Associated P?ess .eprr^sponjignt
was at the scene of the tragedy within
five minutes after it occurred. von
Plehve's shockingly mangled body
was lying in the middle of the road.
It had been partially covered with a
police officer's overcoat, with the left
arm, the bone of which was broken
off, projecting. A policeman came up
and raised the overcoat in order to re
arrange it, revealing for an instant
the strong features of the dead minis
ter, whose head was battered
Almost Beyond Recognition.
The roadway was strewn for a hun
dred yards with the wreckage of the
carriage and pieces of the red lining
of the minister's oflicial overcoat. A
few yards from M. von Plehve's body
lay a shapeless heap of the coach
man's remains.
The tragedy occurred on the Zabal
ansky prospect, a broad thoroughfare
leading up to the Warsaw depot,
whence the road turns sharply to the
leftward to the Baltic railroad station.
The exact spot at which the outrage
occurred is just before the bridge
spanning Circular canal, on the other
side of which both stations are situ
The bomb thrower must have known
perfectly weli that Minister von
Plehve would pass the spot, for the
minister makes his report to the em
peror every Thursday.
The infernal machine was thrown
with deadly accuracy and the assas
sin was favored by the fact that traffic
here is always of the heaviest, owing
to the crossing of lines of surface
cars and the continuous stream of
heavy trucks. M. von Plehve was al
ways apprehensive of attempts upon
his life and used to drive rapidly.
The coachman, however, was com
pelled to go slow at this point.
The assassin in laying his plans evi
dently foresaw this circumstance and,
while the minister's coachman slowed
down, threw the bomb. The
Explosion Was Terrific
and practically annihilated .the wood

off, dragging the axle and the front

Populace Eager for Details.
Von Plehve's assassination was offi
cially announced at about 1 o'clock
and was followed immediately by the
issuance of extra editions of the pa
pers. Although they contained only
a few lines referring to the tragedy the
newsboys were fairly mobbed by the
crowds in the streets, so eager were
all for details of the crime. Intense
excitement reigned everywhere. Only
the assassination of the emperor could
have created more of a sensation, as

everybody in the city seemed to have
suddenly become aware that a fright

The assassin, who was wounded in
the abdomen by a splinter, underwent
a successful operation. When throw
ing the bomb he shouted "Long live

His name has not been ascertained
and the prisoner told the police that
he had no accomplices. It is estab
lished, however, that the assassin is
not a Jew, as at first reported.
Had More Enemies Than Any Man in
London, July 29.The assassination
of Von Plehve was foreshadowed some
months ago, in fact ever since the
truth became known regarding the
Kishineff massacres. It was charged
that Von Plehve was the instigator of
these atrocities.
He was the power behind the throne
and the most influential minister in
Russia. His enemies far outnumbered
those of any other living man. Von
Plehve had been blamed for forcing
Russia into the war, but the opinion
in the European.chancellories is that
he was assassinated by nihilists and
not by a zealot anxious to punish him
for the mistakes of the war. Von
Plehve was the head of all Russia's
police system and he has sent thou
sands to their death and to Siberia.
The excitement over the news is at
fever heat at Continental capitals,

Packers Win Incidental Victory
in ^Connection With the
Butcher's Strike.
Event Declared by Some to be the
Forerunner of a Gen
oral Stampede.
Chicago, July 2?.-The packers have
won an important incidental victory
in the big stock yards strike, the first
emphatic gain of the kind that has
been made since the general walkout
was declared in effect Eight hundred
live stock handlers threw aside their
allegiance to the allied trades and be
gan to handle shipments indiscrimi
nately, both- for the packers in the
combine and for the independent com
panies. Most of these 800 men went
to work Wednesday to handle the
goods of the "independents" and they
had worked on this basis until now.
The change on the part of the han
dlers was regarded by the employers
as a serious loss to the cause of the
strikers and by some it was even de
clared to be a forerunner of a general
W. E. Skinner, general agent of the
Union Stock Yards and Transit com
pany, said that the live stock handlers,
though walking out in sympathy with
the butchers and meat cutters, had
been reluctant to strike, the relations
between the men and the Union Stock
Yards and Transit company having al
ways been most amicable. Having
shown their good will towards the
striking unions he said the men were
only too glad to have their old places
back and the company was glad to re
instate them.
Word reached union headquarters
during the afternoon that two train
loads of white and colored strike
breakers, gathered in Buffalo, Cleve
land and Cincinnati, were stopped by
strike sympathizers, who flagged the
trains between Whiting and Ham
mond, Ind., and that the strike break
ers were driven off and scattered.
During the afternoon 133 men, all
members of the union deserted the
strikers and returned to work at Ar
mour & Co.'s plant.

New research shows cursing can actually help relieve stress and increase pain tolerance.
Do you ever feel bad for having a bit of a foul mouth? Well, new scientific research assures us you can ditch any sense of guilt—so long as your cursing is in the name of better health. A recent study shows saying profanities can relieve stress and give you a higher pain-tolerance. It's basically recommended and encouraged. Seriously!
According to Forbes, researchers from Keele University asked a group of volunteers to stick their hands under icy-cold water. During the first round of the experiment, they told the participants to yell out a stream of curse words. For the second, they asked them to yell out inoffensive terms. (Wouldn't you have loved to be a fly on the wall for this study?) The results? The volunteers were able to keep their hands under the frigid water for longer while swearing in the process.
Yelling out profanities raised heart rates, relieved stress and triggered the fight-and-flight response "downplaying feebleness in favor of a more pain-tolerant machismo," scientist Dr. Richard Stephens said. 10 Ways Stress Erodes Your Health
This stress-relieving, pain-reducing reaction is probably why swearing has been prevalent throughout all of time, and in virtually every language—because our brains really want us to curse, therapeutically speaking.
"Swearing has been around for centuries and is an almost universal human linguistic phenomenon," Dr. Stephens said. "It taps into emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain, whereas most language production occurs in the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain. Our research shows one potential reason why swearing developed and why it persists." Are You In Love? A Brain Scan Can Tell
So, we hope this research makes you feel a little better the next time you get into an argument with your guy. We know the swear words can slip out... now, science says it's OK. Just tell your S.O. you're practicing stress management (wink, wink).

WTF was that Good Eats last night?
Was anybody else a little disturbed by the Good Eats special last night? It was basically just Alton and Ted Allen on stage in a massive auditorium, doing schtick and setting up clips. But something about it just struck me as off. Maybe it was the size of the audience, and their overjoyed response to basically every word that the guys said.

Collecting weapons like Swords and guns, collecting figurines and other types of figures of video game characters, and traveling around the world exploring places that I've always wanted to go like China and Japan.
It would be either collecting medieval stuff like armor suits and weapons and such, or opening a micro-brewery in my garage.
"Bribing" US politicians. Of course, it's not a bribe, it's a campaign contribution. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Mostly, I want into this hobby because you pretty much need to be a billionaire to indulge in it.
Magic: The Gathering
Id still collect TCG's specifically Pokemon, $4.18 a booster is a joke.
@poster above me, MTG too!
"From the first to the end of the Sixth Generation of consoles, for THIRTY FOUR YEARS, this is what gaming was and it was FANTASTIC! You enjoyed the experience and gaming was what it was supposed to be FUN, COMPLETE, no DLC back then the new content was called a sequel and we waited eagerly for it."
-Muzz (L1GAMES) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePNHfnR-SwA
I'd just love to collect tons and tons more geeky stuff from Comics/Films/Books/Video Games.
I've currently got a Sword from LOTR (Anduril) and one from Song of Fire and Ice (Longclaw) ... But I'd love to just COVER my entire home in: Swords, Posters, Figurines, Busts, Life-Size Models, Jewelry ETC.
More then anything I'd love like a Iron Man/Batman/Darth Malgus Life-Size Statue (They're like 6-7 Feet Tall) .. But they're like $5000-7000 If I had the money for it that kind of stuff would be such a happy hobby of mine.
It's the same thing with most other hobbies, I do rock climbing. And you need gear for that, else it won't work unless you free solo. And you don't get to buy all the gear at once cause it's pretty damn expensive-ish. But you go month by month and you try to not spend money on beer when going out but instead you save money and get yourself that rope you wanted.
All in all, hobbies are meant to be "save up and get what you want in the near future". I'd definitely collect super cars if I had the money!
Parachuting in Dubai - would be a sick lot of fun I guess
Miaruna <The Golden Dawn> of Aman'Thul-EU
Travelling... I would love to see more of the world, especially all the fascinating historical sites.
- Cosplay (good ones, not the shit cosplay)
- Diving maybe
- Weapons and/or maybe sword fighting...I wanna be a ninja.
Travel the world. All the time. I'd have my home base in the States (Seattle, probably), and then just leave the country at least once a month.
I need to find a sugar daddy.
I've always wanted to try surfing. Not that getting a surfboard is ridiculously expensive, but as I don't live anywhere near a decent surfing spot I'd have to travel a lot, which would be ridiculously expensive :P
Besides that, I'd keep up gaming, maybe upgrade my PC more often as well as getting new games more often.
Magic the Gathering, or Comic Books.
Signature in progress...
I'm a musician. When I get a job, my money will quickly disappear on equipment and repairs. :P
If I had a small fortune for a hobby, I wouldnt waste it on frivolous fantasies.
Instead, id be smart about it and invest it into some stocks and a certificate of deposit for a high yield return, which would be ripe for the taking when I retire.
whats the point in a one time big spend if I can make it last the rest of my life? Certainly would help me not worry about my future and my job security

wc summary
LK ways of guessing alt-text. in a-prompt. one dramatic thing: hand simulation which applied the rules. show up with page, show in lynx, Image image image. if applied rules, end up with x, y, z. not just hand-waving. would look like if applied these rules.

Name: Rando Lüll
Year of Birth: 1987
Height: 177cm
Weight: 75kg
Birthplace: Paide, Estonia
Current Residence: Kristiansand, Norway
Sports: Bodybuilding, martial arts, tricking.
Tell us a little about yourself, what you do for a living, what hobbies / interests / passions you have.
I am born in Estonia and have been living in Norway since year 2000. I have worked in several fields, but mostly in sales.
My hobbies are film-making, singing, martial arts, bodybuilding, motorcycle riding, and technology.
My passions are philosophy, health, animals, music and film making.
Why did you become vegan?
I came to follow a vegan diet in year 2008. First it was because of the pain and suffering far too many animals have to go through. And then as I read more, saw more documentaries and experienced more, I came to see the health benefits of it and the huge environmental effects this will have when more and more people change their diet over to a more "natural" one.
When and why did you become interested in fitness?
Since I can remember.
When I was 3 years I could do 10 push-ups, and I remember it well.
I trained mostly running as a kid, and when I was 12 I took up Karate.
Since then I have trained in Karate, tae kwon do, boxing, and more recently in the last years I have trained tricking. (look it up on youtube.)
But in the middle of it all I have always been interested in the art of sculpting the body.
I am young still and have long term goals in this particular art.
So there is much to look forward to.
How would you describe your nutrition program?
I eat mostly raw food and will eat a 100% raw diet again very soon.
When it comes to what I eat, I try and follow my body. It says what it wants and doesn't.
And as favorite food stuffs, I can mention radish, fava beans, broccoli, bananas, dadels, tomatoes, hazel nuts, home grown green peas, avocados.
How would you describe your training program?
I value first of all body-weight exercises like different push-up variations, different grips on pull-ups, one leg squats, situps on a decline bench, back extensions, handstand push-ups, jumping rope and running.
When I train weigths I focus on big exercises like front squats, back squats, dead lifts, bench press variations, back rows with dumbells and military presses.
Other than that I train in Martial Arts like boxing and Tae Kwon Do.
I also do some gymnastics; some basic flips and twists.
I train these different typer of exercises at different times and I ofen combine them also.
Other than that I train what feels right on the fitting day. I listen to what my body tells me.
What are some common misconceptions about veganism?
The stupid ones every vegan knows about.
What advice do you have for people who are just starting out with veganism or training?
When it comes to both of these, you have to be honest with yourself and ask why?
When you know your why, you will be more likely to follow through with it and continue growing as a person.
Other than that I suggest you give it your honest effort.
Expect to fail in any efforts within life.
This is what makes you grow and step on to the next plateau.

Baseball Splits Saturday Doubleheader With Albion - Takes 3 of 4 in Series
Saturday, April 09, 2011
By sports information student assistant Derek Neice
Calvin split a home doubleheader Saturday against Albion but still won 3 of 4 overall against the Britons after dropping an extra-innings thriller in the first game and winning the second game by a 9-3 score.
The Knights gave up a run in the top of the eighth and were unable to tie the score in the bottom half in the front end of the double-header, losing by a score of 3-2. Junior Joe Lambers pitched seven innings, giving up a pair of earned runs off of 5 hits and 3 walks. Lambers struck out 3 hitters before being relieved by freshman Cory Laster, who the loss in his inning of work although the run was unearned.
In the first game Albion and Calvin exchanged early blows as both teams scored two runs in the first three innings and then went 4 full innings of scoreless baseball before the Britons struck again in extra innings.
Calvins Mike Fuller went 2 for 4 in the game with a run and senior Andrew Bosma went 1 for 1 with a sac fly to drive in both of the Knights runs. The Knights had chances to take the lead in late innings but were unable to get that final hit to drive in the go ahead run.
The Knights committed three errors in the field in the first game, a key factor in setting up a lot of the Britons offense in the game. With the loss, Laster moves to 2-1 on the year. Albions Peter Salens earned the win and moved to 1-3 this season.
The second game featured a matchup between Calvin freshman Grand VanderWall and Albions Brett Timmer. The Knights offense came alive in the game early as Calvin tagged Timmer for four runs [three earned] in the first two innings, jumping out to a 4-1 lead. In the first inning Ben Cok hit a one out single and then scored off a triple by Bosma, who then scored as well off a Peter Steiner sac fly. In the second inning Timmer struggled with his command as he walked 3 of the first 4 batters before being relieved. Calvins Bosma would single in two runs then with the bases loaded.
The Knights would add to the lead in the bottom of the fifth as well as they scored 5 runs all with two outs in the inning to take the lead at 9-1. Cok highlighted the inning with a two run home run to left to score the eighth and ninth runs, his first of the year.
VanderWall pitched 6 innings and gave up 3 earned runs on 5 hits and 2 walks, striking out two as well. The win improves VanderWall to 2-1 on the year. Albions Timmer falls to 0-1. Calvins Jeff Groenewold also pitched a scoreless inning, surrendering only a hit in that final frame.
Cok went 3 for 3 with a walk in the game with two RBIs and two runs. Bosma also had 3 hits in 4 at bats and drove in two runs while also scoring one himself. Jake Van Alten was the only other multihit Knight in the game, going 2 for 3 with a walk and scoring two runs.
With the split, the Knights take 3 of 4 overall from the Britons and move to 10-11 on the season and 6-6 in the conference. The next action for the Knights will be against Kalamazoo on April 14 and 16, with the first doubleheader taking place at home at 2 p.m.

Chris Henry: Remembering "Slim"December 20, 2009
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
Dec. 19, 2009 - 1:45 p.m. PST
Remembering "Slim"
RIP Chris Henry 1983-2009
....you will always be missed!
Henry played all five of his NFL seasons with the Bengals. In his short career, he caught a total of 119 passes for 1,826 yards (15.3 average) and scored 21 touchdowns.
Although this season was not off to the best start for Henry, he was doing all the right things and the team was winning.
All of his numbers did not show his improvement, but his 19.7 yards per catch were among the best in the league. Henry averaged one touchdown every 5.5 touches.
If the kid had been a starter collecting the same number of touches as some of the other predominant receivers in the league that would equate to 18 touchdowns with every 100 receptions.
The 6'4" kid from Belle Chasse High School in Louisiana was clearly a huge talent. He had tremendous gifts and a potential that had no limitations. His loss is truly tragic, because of "what could have been" despite his early career speed bumps along the way.
It's funny how the game can sometimes parallel life. Henry had been working hard, and all signs were there early in the season to indicate that the kid had turned the corner and the future was bright.
But just like Henry's 2009 campaign was cut short due to a broken forearm; his life too was cut short just when it appeared he had everything heading in the right direction (just announced his engagement).From the recent comments made by his teammates and the recent press clippings it is very easy to see that Henry was greatly loved by his team and was a favorite among all that really knew him.
I was not fortunate enough to know Mr. Henry myself, but I can see from what I have read and listened to from the many interviews he was a good man.
I also know that man is not perfect, he is not without error. Henry is one man I would have liked to have known.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- It's an important time for college football coaching staffs to close up their 2012 recruiting classes. But for the recruits, it's time for exams and finals.
For 2012 offensive tackle recruit Joshua Garnett (Puyallup, Wa./Puyallup), academics is the more important piece of his life right now.
His father, Scott, said Joshua has always excelled at school and that he and his twin sister, Rachel, have friendly competition for which twin gets better grades. Joshua's older brother, Desean, who's in his second year of law school, also provided a good role model for the twins by putting his studies first.

UN chief Ban Ki-moon wrote to Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy to give his "deepest condolences at the shocking murders," a statement said. "The targeting of children is heinous and unthinkable," he added in condemning the "horrendous" crime. European Union diplomacy chief Catherine Ashton expressed "shock" at the "tragic shooting. The head of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso spoke of his "deep shock and horror" upon hearing of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which he called a "terrible tragedy." "Young lives full of hope have been destroyed," he said in a statement. A rose is tied to a cross next to candles outside Saint Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church near Sandy Hook Elementary School, where a gunman opened fire on school children and staff in Newtown, Connecticut December 14, 2012. REUTERS/Joshua Lott There were almost no non-fatal injuries, indicating that once targeted, there was rarely any chance of escape, and that the gunman, believed to be 20-year-old Adam Lanza, was unusually accurate or methodical in his fire. "The news is just awful. The thoughts and prayers of Canadians are with the students and families in CT affected by this senseless violence," Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper wrote on his Twitter account. His Foreign Minister John Baird said Canadians "stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends at this difficult time." The child victims were reported to be aged between five and 10. "I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear about today's horrific shooting," British Prime Minister David Cameron said. "My thoughts are with the injured and those who have lost loved ones. It is heartbreaking to think of those who have had their children robbed from them at such a young age, when they had so much life ahead of them." Britain's Queen Elizabeth II sent a message to President Barack Obama in which she said she was "deeply shocked and saddened" to hear of the shootings. "The thoughts and prayers of everyone in the United Kingdom and throughout the Commonwealth are with the families and friends of those killed and with all those who have been affected by today's events." French President Francois Hollande also extended his condolences to the victims and their relatives in a message to Obama. "This news... horrified me and I wish to express my deep shock and consternation," Hollande said. The foreign ministry also issued a message in which it offered "France's full support to the American people and authorities." Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said "Australia grieves with America today following the mass shooting of primary school children and teachers in Connecticut. "Like President Obama and his fellow Americans, our hearts too are broken.

Skin tends to become somewhat thinner as we age. Protection of the skin for individuals over 70 is important since sun damage and dryness can become a problem. The skin is actually the body's largest organ, and we can gauge an individual's well being by the health of his skin. Older individuals can look healthier by keeping the skin soft and relatively free of age spots. There are many natural products and man-made cosmetics to help older skin look and feel good.
Moisturizing and Cleaning
Ideally, people of all ages should wear moisturizer 24 hours a day on their face, hands and body. Skin care for senior citizens calls for retaining the moisture that is already present in the skin. Products with sesame oil or avocado oil are best. These oils are lightweight and can penetrate the pores for absorption into the skin. Moisturizers that contain no oil whatsoever lack the substance to hold existing moisture in older skin. Gentle soaps are good for cleansing, but cotton balls saturated with whole milk clean the skin deeper and more gently than any commercial product.
Sunscreen Is Vital
Wearing sunscreen daily on the face, neck and forearms is important in skin care for senior citizens. Because the body slows down its producing of natural oils as time goes on, aging skin grows less resilient to sun damage and age spots. An SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 or above is vital for protecting older skin from cancer. A sunscreen product should have either microionized zinc oxide or titanium oxide for maximum protection. If brown age spots do occur, creams and gels containing hydroquinone work well, even on fair skin. Creams with Vitamin C, which is ascorbic acid, can fade age spots as well.
Skin Creams and Vitamin E
Dry, flaky skin is always a concern in skin care for senior citizens. While a slow thyroid can be to blame for extremely flaky skin, it's usually just typical of the aging process. Rough elbows, feet, knees or hands soften up when petroleum jelly, heavier skin creams or Vitamin E oil is applied. Vitamin E can be applied directly to the skin from a supplement capsule to heal rough places on older skin.
Products to Fight Wrinkles
Vitamin A cream is believed to fight wrinkles in older skin. One form of Vitamin A, called tretonin, can be applied directly to the skin. It requires a doctor's prescription. Wearing a heavy face cream at night to prevent moisture loss will also help prevent wrinkles. These creams typically contain heavier oils or petroleum jelly, so they are too greasy for wearing in public. However, they prevent dehydration of older skin, especially during the night.
Exfoliation Products and Massagers
Men and women over 70 may benefit from having a chemical peel to soften up extremely hard skin. This process should be performed by a licensed dermatologist. Exfoliating the outer layers of the skin and exposing the softer skin beneath will make some deeper wrinkles disappear. Stimulating the skin with a pulsating electric massager is good, too. This kind of treatment helps cell turnover and makes the skin look fresher. The body's own blood supply regenerates the skin better than any external product.

Bumps on lips pictures
Common Questions and Answers about Bumps on lips pictures
Hi- I have been noticing lately that I keep getting these tiny red
lately, along with occasional chapping/peeling. I've tried researching it online but all I can find is about herpes, but the pictures don't look the same. I'm wondering if this might be an allergic reaction to something, or just from dryness, or if I should actually be concerned. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi amesw, Did you ever figure out what the tiny
were? My symptoms sound exactly like what you have. I also have thought that it could possibly be Fordyce, but the small patch of bumps on my lip are sooo tiny and are the same color as my lip that it doesn't seem to match the Fordyce symptoms. Like you, my lips are dry (they normally are not) and the small patch of very tiny bumps feels scaly when i run my tongue over it.

I feel it most around my
and ankles. The only visible symptoms I've had though are some
my fingers. I first had this last october/november (2015) when my doc Rx'd me a heavy round of antibiotics (Zithromax and Doxy) for a lymph node infection and shocked myself plugging something in. It went away after awhile. My doc said it was an immune reaction. It started again this time after I put on a shirt I haven't worn in long time.

Hi, you doing I really hope you can help me or maybe prepare me for the results I will hear when I go to the doctor. For the past week I had
the side of my
. I just thought they where reg. bumps so I started using clearasil & face masks to get rid of it. Then it started to go away so I started to put coco butter to clear the marks. Then a few weeks later it reappear but now they started to surround the whole side of my lips.

Seemingly overnight, largish white
(many) have popped up
my outer
. They don't hurt, the only reason I noticed them was because my underwear seemed to irritate the area a little. Of course I got freaked out, so I've been doing a bunch of research... a lot of the pictures & articles are about tiny white bumps like pimples, but these are large, like pea sized. They're flat & smooth. I am 20 years old, and have had sex with 3 men.

look like a lump that is under the skin. In fact, they're kind of hard to even see except that they are making the lips droop and crinkle in a weird way. When I run my finger down the lips, I feel them easily, and they are painful when I press on them (and painful when I don't now too). They look most like a large pimple that is under the skin. I forgot to mention that when I went to the doctor on Sept. 7, I only had 2 bumps on my vaginal lips.
Read More
So I've had this experience twice now, where i start out with red
which lend a sandpapery feeling to my
and seep pinpricks liquid if I press my
together. In a day they are forming small yellow crusts and the corners of my mouth are getting worse. There is a tingling sting on my lips, especially around the borders. The corners of my mouth will be sore and crusty and will split if I open my mouth too wide.
Read More
Today, 1 day later (September 10th), I noticed that the
my vaginal
look like they have risen more to the surface, and resemble large pimples. They are also more sore than they had been, although less itchy. I also continue to feel a tingling/tickly sensation under the skin on my vaginal lips. This sensation is different from the itchiness that I was describing, which felt like it was more on the surface and was much more severe of a feeling.

Last july I started noticing little
the edges of my
. They woud always feel chapped and get irritated. I went to the Dr and was sent to a dermatologist. I was told that they were just glands that got irritated and to try some allergy medicine. It has been over 6 months and it comes and goes. The bumbs ae always there but they bother me all the time. Sometimes even burn. I stay away from spacy foods now and am almost afraid to eat.

I have tiny itchy
the left side of my
- almost
the corner, but not quite - and near the edges. This started about 2 days ago. I am living overseas where I don't speak the language & it's hard to tell if the doctors understand (just on previous visits when I had a cold). The day that this occurred I tried a sample of a local homemade regional dish and was offered to take some home and ate some that night. The girl who offered me rinsed her fork but didn't wash it.

I also just yesterday noticed some little

For the last 20 years I have gotten small red
the sides of my fingers. They don't blister. They start out as one or two and then I might get a few more and they seem to cluster up on only the sides of my fingers. They are not itchy but they are sore to the touch when you run your finger over them. It feels like you have a splinter. They are slightly raised and red in color. They will stay for varying lengths of time and then dry up and go away.

Hi, Fordyce spots are small (1-5mm), slightly elevated yellowish or white papules or spots that can appear
and inside of the cheeks. They may occur as a solitary lesion or more frequently in crops of about 50-100. Fordyce spots are a variant of sebaceous glands (the glands that normally produce sebum and are usually found within hair follicles). Fordyce spots are sebaceous glands without hair follicles. They are present in 80-95% of adults.

I have had an
going battle (10+ years) with these strange
that grow all over my face near my mouth, nose, forehead, chin, beard area, and small ones all around the eyes. I even get them inside my nose, some on chest. They are rows of hundreds of though bump like pores with a white center. If you squeeze, some will discharge a stringy white substance. Some are small hard, raised bumps that won't discharge anything but have some strange white material deep in the skin and center of bump.

About 2 weeks ago I noticed some tiny
my upper lip. they were kind of clustered and I really had to stretch my lip to see them, but I could feel them.I did some reasearch and thought I had Fordyce spots although they were still much more subtle than any pictures I saw of Fordyce spots. Since then, the clusters have dissapeared and now I have them almost all over my upper lip and a little on my lower lip.

Hello, The bump on lips can be due to folliculitis or boil but for the
penis, warts should be ruled out. Warts are small painless growth
skin caused by Human Papilloma Virus. These can be light or dark. They are usually oval in growth and raised forming rough surface in the skin. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

They burn and tingle, and then get dry and crack. I feel tingling/burning in concentrated places
but never see any visible blisters or bumps!! I've never had any cold sores or fever blisters. I've been tested via Herpeselect IgG 1&2 blood serum tests and the results have come back 0.3 for both!! Most recently tested March 2008. So, it's saying I don't have oral or genital herpes. I don't know what this is, but it's really bothersome, and I don't know if it's contagious.

Found a copy of battleball for $1 USD at the local thrift store, missing the rules and a couple dice but seems to have all the figures.
I have no plans to play the game but I was thinking of turning one of them into a mech for my 15mm gaming.
What do you think?DZT
I paid $4 USD for mine at a Toys 'R Us closeout. Surprisingly, it's actually a quite playable little game, good for introducing young 'uns to that style of game before moving on to Bloodbowl or Dreadball.
Yeah, the gam's actually pretty cool.
It's the only board game we take when we go on vacation to the lake. Simple, easy to follow set of rules, VERY easy to insert house rules to make it better.
I can make a photocopy of the rules for you if you want, Duane.
I've got a couple of games stored away. Was considering using the figures for additional dreadball teams although the basic game is quite playable.
If you need the rules, just download them straight from the Hasbro website. They make rules and instructions available on PDF for almost all their products, including legacy games going back to the 1950s
And that covers both Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers. Look in the Customer Service section.
As for the minis, they're great, and I think that one would do well as a 'mech.
Heh, I was just eyeballing my copy for Dreadball usage
I gave each of my sons a copy years ago. I still have mine in shrink wrap. The only parts left of their copies are some figs. I thought about Dreadball too.
Thanks for the offer, Mardaddy!
I think I will download the PDF and see how it goes before I start cutting things up.
This was the game I was trying to remember when certain folks were whining about Mantic's game 'ripping off' GW's Bloodbowl.
I got given a copy last year (still sealed), the kids and I played it and loved it. I was sorry that they never released more teams, and even started looking around for Sci-fi US Football minis to make my own, but sadly never found any. Was happy to get my Impact ice hockey figures though
Also do a google search for the "Advanced Battleball Rules." These are a rather clever fan-generated version that add tactical choices to the game and include rules for "league" play with players gaining skills over time.

Philanthropy the Microsoft WayJay Greene
Accra, Ghana - It's lunchtime at the Ashongman School in Accra, the capital city of Ghana, and dozens of children in orange-and-brown uniforms file out to a serving table to pick up plates of jollof rice, a hearty dish with stewed chicken and tomatoes.
As the kids sit down, Jeffrey S. Raikes approaches them with the air of a waiter checking to see if his customers are enjoying their meal. "Do you like the rice?" he asks, as the kids stick their fingers into bowls to scoop up their meals in the dimly lit room. The kids nod, not entirely sure what to make of the stranger.
Raikes isn't there to gauge if the menu is a hit, nor can the chief executive of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation claim credit for the three-year-old Ghana School Feeding Program. Of the $2.8 billion the foundation doled out last year, not a penny was spent on putting food in the mouths of these children. Instead, Raikes wants to learn why much of the rice eaten by the program's participants comes from Thailand instead of from farms a few miles away. If Ghana's farmers can find buyers for their crops, Raikes argues, they will have an incentive to make their land more productive and give this West African nation a more secure food supply. "The real opportunity here is to create a stabilized market," says Raikes. "You can use the school feeding program to bootstrap those efforts."
"Bootstrap" is a word that Raikes uses a lot. To him, it means creating a virtuous cycle in which suppliers can build businesses around long-term alliances with a strong partner. For anyone who has ever worked with Microsoft (MSFT), as Raikes did for 27 years before retiring and joining the Gates Foundation, it's a familiar concept. The software giant created an ecosystem of partners that fed off Microsoft technology. Raikes is eager to import these ideas into the world of philanthropy. In October the foundation said it would donate $15 million to the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa to help small farmers in Ghana and four other countries improve access to markets for their crops, among other things.
When Raikes, 51, took over the planet's largest philanthropy from Patty Stonesifer a little more than a year ago, he was an unconventional and somewhat controversial choice. Other than giving away much of the fortune he had amassed at Microsoft—his stock was worth $400 million when he stepped down as president of the Business Division in early 2008—Raikes had no philanthropic pedigree. He lacked expertise in the Gates Foundation's core areas of interest: improving health in developing countries, eradicating poverty, and improving high school graduation rates in the U.S. "He was an unknown quantity," says Vartan Gregorian, president of Carnegie Corp., one of the country's largest philanthropies.
But Raikes has something few could match: a deep understanding of Bill Gates. That mattered to Gates. He wanted a chief executive who could adapt to his intense, often impatient style and bring a different approach to the world of philanthropy. "We looked for somebody who wants to learn because a lot of things we're doing are very novel," says Gates. "We're not just trying to do what's been done in the past." Raikes also had the chops to run a large and complex organization, having created the Microsoft Office word-processing, e-mail, and spreadsheet business, turning it into a highly profitable unit that brought in $19 billion the year he left.
Now Raikes is reshaping the $34 billion foundation, in the process giving it some of the characteristics that made Microsoft both revered and reviled. He's encouraging many of his 781 employees to place big bets on innovations that might someday make it easy to, say, detect malaria or tuberculosis quickly. He has also pushed to make sure that his people focus on funding projects that can yield measurable results. And while Raikes is making efforts to improve the foundation's image, he's clearly comfortable with using the organization's financial might to set its own agenda in trying to solve seemingly intractable problems.
Raikes' approach isn't likely to assuage concerns that the 12-year-old foundation's sway extends well beyond the funds it doles out. The huge pot of money it offers can shift the direction of research in a field. When it comes to global development, for example, the foundation spends millions on the creation of new seed varieties that are resistant to specific pests and diseases. That's a huge carrot for researchers, keen to attract funding for their work. But it may come at a cost to simpler solutions like planting existing insect-repellent crops next to ones that are vulnerable. "They have a disproportionate influence on the direction of agriculture research," says Raj Patel, a visiting scholar at the University of California at Berkeley's Center for African Studies. "There's an opportunity cost to what Gates is doing. He can spend his money however he likes. But in doing so, he smothers [other] opportunities."
Like his boss, Raikes isn't cowed by criticism. Accusations that the foundation is overly influential, unaccountable, and arrogant are similar to the complaints that Microsoft weathered for decades as it dominated techdom. "The point here is not to get everybody to agree with our approach," Raikes says. "We have to have the courage of our convictions."
Yet he also recognizes the need to solicit alternate viewpoints, even if he doesn't follow them. Various governments sued Microsoft for antitrust violations in the late 1990s. Critics say the actions that led to those suits reflected an institutional arrogance. "At Microsoft during the early '90s, we didn't really feel like the politics associated with our industry should be on the radar," Raikes says. "I think it's very important to be in tune with what people are thinking about the foundation and make sure that we are viewed as a collaborative partner." Earlier this fall he asked the Center for Effective Philanthropy to conduct a survey of the foundation's current grantees to learn what it can do better.
Raikes is also willing to spar with Gates. Toward the end of summer, Gates sent Raikes a memo expressing frustration with the slow progress of one division at the foundation and suggested a reorganization. Raikes pushed back: "I said, 'So Bill, are you going to be the decision-maker, or am I, as the leader of this organization, going to be the decision-maker?' " Raikes recalls. Gates backed down. "If Bill gets intense," Raikes says, "it doesn't really ruffle my feathers."
Many who have worked with Raikes note that he's quick to put people at ease. Back in Ghana, a day after visiting the Ashongman School, he traveled to Ayisa, a tiny farming village where about 65 families live in mud huts with thatched roofs and no electricity. As he sat with the locals to talk about the local farm radio station the foundation has helped finance, he pointed out that he grew up on a farm in Ashland, Neb. He didn't mention that, while the Ayisa farmers scratch out what amounts to a living on plots of 35 acres or so, the Raikes family farm covers more than 2,500 acres. But he did note that his family's farm produces 8 to 12 tons of corn per acre, an eye-popping amount to the Ayisa farmers, who are lucky to get a ton per acre and often produce much less.
Raikes might have stayed a farmer had he not stumbled into the computer revolution as a student at Stanford University in the late 1970s. Back then, he learned how to program an Apple II to do complex economic modeling, something that helped land him a job with Apple. A few years later he moved to Microsoft, realizing his passion was in developing software. When he left, he was seen as the third-most-powerful executive behind Gates and CEO Steven A. Ballmer.
Now he's trying to apply the lessons of running a big organization to the foundation. "There was a bit of decision-making constipation, and that frustrated the employees," Raikes says. He posted something of a management manifesto on the foundation's internal Web site in July, calling for "decision-making hygiene." With any meeting, any strategy, any position paper, one staffer is in charge, he wrote. Gone are the days of trying to please everyone.
In his quest to improve both the perception and the impact of the foundation, Raikes has sought inspiration far and wide. Earlier this year he met with Norman Borlaug, the Nobel Peace Prize winner who was credited with creating the Green Revolution that brought new food production techniques to developing countries. Borlaug, who died just a few months after their meeting, was a brilliant scientist, Raikes says, "but the guy's success was even more related to the fact that he was a butt-kicker."

I more or less grew up in the hills of North Georgia.
A small town known as Big Creek, well outside of the confines of the county seat, Ellijay.
In 2005 I had went home for Memorial Day. Ellijay has one of the largest Memorial Day celebrations in the entire state of Georgia. My father, my uncle, myself, and my cousin all marched, in uniform.
I had recently been discharged myself from the 3rd Brigade 2 Infantry Division, Ft Lewis WA. An Air Defense Artillery Unit.
After the parade we gathered in the town square. My former teacher from Gilmer County Elementary, stepped to the podium. Unbeknown to me at the time, Noah Harris, was her son. That was made clear in her speech.
1st Lt. Noah Harris, also of Ellijay had passed away. He was several years younger than myself. He outranked me. He entered the service after I. He graduated from college. I quit college to serve. The differences are not as vast as the parallels.
In death he is still an inspiration
In Baqubah, Iraq, Lt. Harris was mortally wounded from injuries sustained on June 17 when he was on mounted patrol and his Humvee was attacked by enemy forces using rocket-propelled grenades in Buritz, Iraq. Also killed was Cpl. William A. Long.
Lt. Harris passed away on June 18.
What are the chances, mind you, two men, of eight years age different, would come from the same town, population less than 10,000, and end up serving for the same Brigade? He of 2nd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Benning, Ga. I of the 2 ID in Ft. Lewis, WA.
What are the chances, like ships passing in the night that I would arrive at our home town Memorial Day, on the eve of his passing? Two fellow soldiers, of similar generations? That I, whom had sat in his mothers classroom, would be spared, and he called on?
It bears thought.
I knew his family, but only in passing. I never met the man. I never served under him, but as a fellow Army service member, I served with him.
It is Memorial Day, or rather the day we observe it.
As I sit in my recliner, and I think back to the difference a few years makes. I'm older now, put on a few pounds, but my reasons for joining have not changed.
Somehow I think LT Harris's reasons, have not changed either.
For better or worse we make our choices. For better or worse with live with those decisions.
I only wish I had met him before he passed on to meet mine.
The bonds that bind us, even as strangers among men, are smaller than we think.
Already Home: Memorial Day Weekend
I recorded this last year, in my hotel room with cheap 4 dollar microphone. The audio quality is not the best in the world. That said I did it because I wanted to do something different for my brothers and sisters in arms whom never made it home. Something to give a little peace, something to give a little guidance. My apologies if its not up to par with a pro singers work, and my apologies if it comes off churlish. I make no apologies for the effort however. -BS

I first published this back in 2008 over at our sister site Techography.com. Hence the opening credits. Its footage that I, and other MilBloggers pieced together to benefit VALOUR-IT in a fundraiser at the time. Donations are still welcome there and I am sure they would appreciate it, especially this time of year. Its quite a video if I do say so myself, even if rudimentary in its construction. I hope you enjoy this Memorial Day Weekend. And Remember, please always Remember. -BS
Dead Soldiers……Who Cares……
I'll tell you who doesn't care…..the so called "president".
Could he be the first president who did not attend the Memorial Day Service at Arlington? I think so….
Even looking back at the last 2 presidents, Clinton went to all 8 services in his presidency, Bush went to 7 of the 8, and he did not attend one because he was at another ceremony in France honouring D-Day Vets. What really amazes me, is the fact that this is his second vacation just since the oil spill….that's 2, count them, 2 vacations in just over a month? WTF!? and this is only his first year in office. To me, this is total BS, and a complete lack of respect for this great nation, and the soldiers who bravely died so that we could enjoy freedom. Mr. President, have fun shucking your duties, and ignoring the American people. Hell, that's what you have been doing so far, why should this surprise us. I hope you have a rotten, crappy, miserable vacation. Maybe if you get food poisoning, you might have a taste of what the people of this country are feeling because of your ignorance.

Up With the Roosters…
My new chapter in life continues…
So, my landlord bought the property that I live on now a few years ago, and on this 7 acre lot there was a small farm section, a house (which I now live in), and a burned down barn. As best we can figure at the moment, our house was built some time in the late 1930's to the early 1940's. It still has the old cloth wrapped wiring in the walls, and the original glass doorknobs with the skeleton keyholes. The site of the old barn is where he built his house. It sits about 200 yards from our house, and he has a few roosters. Now, mind you I *hate* getting up in the morning. If it was my choice, morning would start at the crack of 12 noon.
Recently, though, I have been making an extreme effort to get up early, sit on the porch and drink coffee, and have some quiet time for my wife and I before we start our day. Most days, our baby Gavin allows this. All this week, I have found that the quality of my day is a direct result of how the morning starts off.
Every day this week, with the roosters crowing, my wife and I on the front porch, watching the world wake up….its been the kind of simple life I have always dreamed of…….
But Arizona is wrong….
So who cares about a silly little thing like terrorists crossing the border?
We don't need no stinkin' security!
Typical brainless, pointless, knee jerk reaction by the Obama Administration and the Media with no actual though or substance to their reasoning.
Government of the Ruling Class, by the Ruling Class, for the…
Back in April I said there were 3 options that the Federal Government would possibly undertake in reaction to Arizona's new Immigration Law.
* Either A they will take action and begin securing the border all the while saying states need take no further action and renouncing Arizona's law
* Or B they will attack Arizona's law. They will lambaste it as unconstitutional, they will investigate, call hearings and order investigations. All the while our Southern borders will remain untouched.
There is a third option as well, however
They'll fight for amnesty so that anyone who enters this country is automatically a citizen
Looks like they took Option B.
Why is that important?
Because a State of this United States, passed a law that only applies to its borders, and it's regions, by its citizenry. Much like medicinal marijuana, or drinking ages. By challenging this law, the Federal Government sets precedent: that they are the ruling law of the land and there is nothing our states or we as a nation of citizens can do to stop.
Get ready folks.
This will just be the tip of the ice berg, but its the most blatant attack on state sovereignty in well over 70 years.

What It's Like
Ben Shaw is a former infantryman turned photojournalist.
He knows what it is like to be both a civilian in a war zone and a combat trooper.
Beyond the romance of wounded soldiers with gentle eyes, past the mystique of hard core adventurers who live for the thrill of battle and the conquest of the enemy, or the age old stories of officers and gentlemen is the trip home.
That flight on the big iron bird that, if your lucky, return you to the arms of someone you love. Anf if not it returns you to home sweet home.
If you read nothing else today. Read this.
If you are just coming out of a combat zone (specifically from combat arms), you are about to encounter a wave of emotions, thoughts and dreams for which we are all unprepared. Some of them will make perfect sense considering the environment you just left, but most will bother you. A few may even scare you. While virtually none of the generalizations listed below help overcome these sensations, perhaps knowing about them in advance will help eliminate confusion or the feeling that you've lost control. At the very least, take some comfort knowing that you're not the only one who has encountered this. Millions before you have, and future generations will as well.
Without a doubt the most accurate portrayal of what it's like when you first come home.

The Definition of Insanity
Is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
The KING 5 Investigators have learned that an illegal immigrant accused of raping a woman in Edmonds Sunday has been deported nine times. That's much more than previously reported.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement won't comment on the case of Jose Lopez Madrigal. But KING 5 got the information through confidential sources and documents.
Larry Klein was the man who heard the alleged victim's cries for help.
…Klein called police, who quickly arrested the suspect. But learning his identity took much longer because of some 30 aliases. It was only through fingerprints that they identified him as Madrigal, a Mexican citizen.
Madrigal's arrest and immigration record includes a staggering number of contacts with law enforcement since 1989. That's the year he was convicted of theft using a firearm in California. He was deported a couple of times after that. Then in 1999, he was arrested for drug sales in both San Diego and San Francisco. Records show that he was deported three times that year between April and August. He was arrested for drugs again in Stockton, Calif. in 2000. In 2002, he pleaded to third degree sexual assault in Denver. Later that year, he was deported again. And in 2003, records show he was deported three more times.
People who live near the scene of Sunday's alleged rape wonder how it could keep happening.

How many people have to be killed, raped or injured before the Federal government does something about our borders?
How many innocents have to be hurt or injured, how many families broken or left in tears?
How many states will need to follow Arizona's lead before the Feds stand up and do the job that they are Constitutionally required too?
Article 4 Clause 2 of our Constitution has been used to validate our searches and seizures at the border, and as it pertains to Domestic Violence can be used (by definition) to protect our borders as well. This falls specifically within the realm of the Federal Goverment.
However. Our Constitution is written specifically so that when the Federal government fails to perform the services it is required to perform, the states may act to protect their own sovereignty in its steed, intro the 10th Amendment.
Enough is enough.

Hhat plays a critical role in ER positive, HER2 (show ERBB2 Proteins) amplified, and hormone resistant breast cancer proliferation.
Data suggest that substrate specificity of hedgehog acyltransferase (HHAT) in palmitoylation reaction extends to oligopeptide fragments of Sonic hedgehog protein (SHH (show SHH Proteins)).
three distinct members [porcupine (PORCN (show PORCN Proteins)), hedgehog (show SHH Proteins) (Hh) acyltransferase (HHAT) and ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT)] have been shown to acylate specific proteins or peptides.

rs7527939 is the strongest indicator of susceptibility to schizophrenia in the Bulgarian population within the HHAT locus.
SKN is necessary for the proliferation of the non-small cell lung carcinoma cells
These findings define residues and regions within Shh (show SHH Proteins) that are necessary for its recognition as a substrate for Hhat-mediated palmitoylation.
SKI-1/S1P (show MBTPS1 Proteins) activity is thus essential for hepatitis C virus production and its inhibition should be considered for antiviral drug development.
Mutations in Hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat) perturb Hedgehog (show SHH Proteins) signaling, resulting in severe acrania-holoprosencephaly-agnathia craniofacial defects.
Skinny hedgehog' (SKI1) encodes an enzyme that acts within the secretory pathway to catalyze amino-terminal palmitoylation of 'hedgehog' (see MIM 600725).
