Beat the Streak Report: Wednesday, July 28
Ichiro Suzuki entered Tuesday night in a 2-for-16 slump. He's hitting an uncharacteristically low .221 for July.
Clearly the man is in a funk.
Clearly this did not reasonate with our streakers.
13.6 percent of the streak galaxy selected Ichiro for the day and 13.6
percent of the galaxy now has the same streak as my nanna.
Nanna doesn't know how to use a computer.
Of course, the big news coming out of Tuesday's festivities is that
MLB.com's Ian Kay watched his 29-game streak link arms with Crystal
Clear Pepsi, grape-flavored Gushers and WWF Superstars Ice Cream Bars
and spiral into the abyss.
Kay's streak is now swimming in the River of Styx after Carlos Gonzalez went 0-for-3 vs. Zach Duke of the Pirates.
Says Kay, "I can't believe I broke the Golden Rule — always select an elite player".
Ian, I'm just so, so, so, SO sorry. Considering you weren't eligible for
the $3,000,000 prize to begin with, you really took the "if a tree
falls in a forest" metaphor to a whole new level.
Time for Wednesday's picks
Oh, hello there ...
? Michael Cuddyer: 12-game hitting streak; .409 AVG (9-for-22) lifetime vs. Royals starter Brian Bannister
? Robinson Cano: .389 AVG (7-for-18) lifetime vs. Indians starter Fausto Carmona
? Adam Dunn: .409 AVG (9-for-22) lifetime vs. Braves starter Tim Hudson
? Michael Young: .500 AVG (5-for-10) lifetime vs. Athletics starter Trevor Cahill
Feeling kinda spicy?
? Maicer Izturis: .370 AVG (10-for-27) lifetime vs. Red Sox starter Josh Beckett
You'll thank me later …
? Ian Kinsler: .091 AVG (1-for-11) lifetime vs. Athletics starter Trevor Cahill
? Ryan Zimmerman: .143 AVG (4-for-28) lifetime vs. Braves starter Tim Hudson
? Kevin Youkilis: .200 AVG (3-for-15) lifetime vs. Angels starter Joel Pineiro
Leaderboard time!
Kay may have fallen on his streak sword, but our leader —
"richard.jucksch" — is cruising with a 37-gamer after Robinson Cano's
eighth-inning double.
I legitimately think Jucksch has a chance here. He's 20 days away from
the big bucks and continues to ignore my e-mail, thus saving himself
from the BTS jinx.
You may have won this round, Jucksch. But I got some tricks up my sleeve.
Let's dance.
Top MLB streakers
? Buster Posey: 20 games

? Scott Podsednik: 14 games

Vinny1979, not so sure about next 2 days. Several "easy" matchups IMO until 1st of month but we'll see. Favoring Mauer/D.Young in BTS & waiting for lineup so I can decide. MINN/TOR possible Survivor picks for me.
@Vinny1979 "…that is why I love this game. What you think is an "easy" and can't fail pick is usually a downfall."
Yeah, that's why I hate this game at times & have a streak of 1 😉
I honestly think the leader is going to fall by the weekend. I think it will happen in the next 2 days as he got really lucky last night and that won't last long. I have chosen Tex in HR BTS, Heyward in BTS and Phils in Survivor. Hernandez can't pitch against lefties or at night so it makes sense to choose Heyward and Heyward is hot in July also.
Pony, that is why I love this game. What you think is an "easy" and can't fail pick is usually a downfall. The person you least expect to come through usually does and the person you think can't fail usually does.
BTS – Alexi "The Missle" Ramirez of ChiSox – How do you spell calinete.
HR – My wild guess of the day: Granderson
Survivor – TB – Always tough at home and the Tigers are missing some "teeth" with all their injuries.
What makes Ichiro fall even more painful for his pickers yesterday is the original ruling that it was a hit. I bet it was a typical Ichiro hit but the Chicago people want to see if they can another no hitter going against SEA last night.
Anything in the infield if you hesitate or scratch your butt, etc., Ichiro will beat it out.
I think Mauer will be playing. That is he DHed yesterday in antcipation of today. I would stay off DY. He has been way too hot. Finding hot bat is easy because this month he looks like he is good for anything. Finding that day when he 0-fers is the hard part. Plus, the pitchers will begin to pitch around him.
Thank you ponyforkeana and dragbunt104 for helping me in the home run game. That negative streak is now over thanks to Ryan Howard homering last night! With Placido Polanco hitting (2 for 5) and the Blue Jays winning, I got my first 3 for 3 day since May 9. I'm still deciding on today's picks.
@btsplayer. D.Young? If Cuddyer/Thome are his protection today, they are hitting Bannister very well & Cuddyer is also hot. These are things I will consider when I see the lineup & fortunately, it'll be posted before game time.
@yanksgiantdevs33. You're welcome. It is a solid strategy to start a HR streak, but only for that purpose.
That was bad timing. Decision made. D.Young is Mauer's protection. Think I'll stick with .5 M&M today.
That was bad timing; lineup just posted. Decision made. D.Young is Mauer's protection. Think I'll stick with .5 M&M today.
I've got Miguel Cabrera on beat the streak and the Phillies on survivor. I'm skipping home run today with Magglio Ordonez (DL) as my pick.
Highest no selections;
In Home run beat the streak: "special_olympics_32" (page 5) with a streak of 3.
Survivor: "ellimac33″ (page 2) with a streak of 10.
Beat the Streak:"dbdorlo" (page 6) with a streak of 15.
These users (and any other no selections) will be reset to 0 I believe when the first game ends.
Kay – nice run to 29 – Remember that you can not take an elite player and get to 57. You have to go "underground" at times to win this thing.
Shooting out of an Cuban underground missle silo aiming at the Seattle dugout today my pick is Alexi "The Missle" Ramirez. Nicknamed by the Wizard of OZ – ChiSox manager Ozzie Guillen.
I am locked in with Neil Walker. I have to hope that Walker can hit in thin Colorado air like everyone else. My second pick would have been Carlos Gonzalez. I would be so upset I 0-fer and Gonz come through. My decision to not choose Gonz was because he scrwed me twice early in the year. Probably not a rational reason to not pick him.
Heavenly battle this afternoon, good vs. evil?

GL to all
There goes leader again! He is exactly 2/3 ways there. I think he is the last man standing for this year.
from btsplayer: "There goes leader again! He is exactly 2/3 ways there. I think he is the last man standing for this year."
No, I am, at least until mathematically eliminated or prize won. I can dream, can't I?
ponyforkeana- We can all dream and hope, hope, hope. 🙂
I just don't want the leader to pass 43 games. If I can't win $3 million, then I'll gladly accept the consolation prize for getting 44 games this year. 😉
2 of my 3 guys to watch today got hits this afternoon:
Cubs – Starlin Castro and Tyler Colvin
My third guy is Alexi Ramirez
Hey everybody GL to all Im at 1 with Mauer getting 2 hits today. Im happy my Reds destroyed the Brew Crew. Votto is the definition of a MAN.
"No, I am, at least until mathematically eliminated or prize won. I can dream, can't I?"
Yup. When I see you or anyone pass 30. It seems that is the new wall for anyone who get up there. So far the leader crushed through it the other day. He made the statement with that 5for5 Mauer few days ago while his followers perished.
Well Heyears came through after having an 0 fer day yesterday. Working my way back up slowly.
Santana getting bombed. This is the worst I've seen him ever. I think that just put a folk in the Mets season this year. It was fun but not enough.
@btsplayer: With all due respect, they're only 7 back in the loss column and it's not even August yet. It might look grim still, but all they have to do is gain one game a week. Injuries, streaks, acquisitions all happen and can change an entire ballclub around. I'd rather not hear that a team should stick a fork in it until beginning to mid-September. I admit, it may be tough, but as we've said throughout the past few days, baseball is unpredictable.
"Injuries, streaks, acquisitions all happen and can change an entire ballclub around."
That can be said for all of the handful of teams chasing the wild card spot. I don't see both ATL and PHI crumbling enough to let give up first place to Mets. And the wild card spot will likely go to whoever finishes 2nd in the West coast. The Mets really needed to play well on the recent road trip and they didn't put up the game. I blame this on Jason Bay. He really was another awful pick by the Mets. He hasn't done squat this year.
I am not Mets hater. I am a rare Yankee fan that actually root for the Mets.
Darn it. CGonz got a hit. That does not look good for me because I doubt both of my top choices would come through tonight.
Miguel Cabrera just homered to left in the top of the 6th so I'm good for beat the streak. Meanwhile the Phillies are up 5-0 with Roy "Doc" Halladay on the mound.
Looks like today is one of those freebie days. With exception of Howard taking down a bit of the leaders, not many resets will be had unless M.Young goes 0-fer also. These are the days when one gets reset, just have to shake your head and say, "Crap!" Expecting top2500 reset result to be low when posted tomorrow. Definitely not a moving day.
They put Hyphen in DL today. Only Millwood left now.
I would love to see Suzuki get one more hit tonight. Something more solid like a ripped line drive. Maybe then that is something of a confirmation that he is out of his slump. We need Ichiro to combat these evil pitchers.
Alexi "The Missle" Ramirez launched a HR and had a single tonight at The Cell in Chicago. He is on a tear; going to go with him on Thursday too. ChiSox are 18 – 1 — I beleive in their last 19 home games.
HR – Wild guess of the day Jayson Werth
Survivor – Padres over LAD looks promising – Latos is tough especially at home.
Tomorrow I'm going with:
BTS- �ngel Pag�n,
HR- Paul Konerko,
Survivor- White Sox.
David Wright not in the lineup today.
Sup y'all. I'm going against the knuckleballer this morning. Top2500 won't be posted untill about 5-530est, but WILL include all games. I'm off to bed , as I worked all night. GL to all today.
Keep eye on trades too: Pods & Peralta traded. If you picked one of them, may want to re-look.

When creating a successful business there are a few things you need to think about and understand in order to have the most success. Creating a successful business takes a lot of time and effort, but when done right it can make you a lot of money very quickly. The great thing about business is you have many different options in getting one started and a whole lot of options once it is up and running. The first and most important that goes into creating a successful business is planning. When it comes to a business plan there is nothing that should be left out. When your business plan is finished it should be so well written that a person off the street could pick up the plan and could set up the business, start the marketing, buy any products or equipment that is needed, have all the financing in place, know who is the target market, where to find customers, and what the projected revenue is for the first 6 months. As you can see a plan will give every little detail about the business that way you know exactly what to do and when to do it.
What most businesses never do is experiment with their methods. That means marketing, services, customer service, and every other aspect of the business. The entire point of experimenting is to try to find any methods that can be improved so your business can make more money and be more efficient. Most business owners don't do this because they are afraid they could mess something up and actually lose money, but what if you gained money? Don't think of experimenting as a way to mess things up, think of it as a method to find a better way to make money.
Long term approach
The biggest problem with starting a successful business isn't that the business itself is a bad idea, but the owner running it is putting too much pressure on the business to perform well. The one thing that has always worked well in business is taking the long term approach. Taking a long term approach is good for business because it means you are letting the market determine the size of the business and not just looking at the money. Taking a long term approach means you will use cash to build your business instead of credit and because of that you don't have to make as much money as a business in order to stay open. If you want more ideas to make money by taking the long term approach then visit dormroomcash.com.

Washington D.C., Dec 19, 2013 / 03:50 pm (CNA).- A recent documentary on Pope Francis, "Francis: The Pope From The New World," has become a bestseller on Amazon.com and at one point ranked number four in the documentary category.
"This documentary arrives as the world realizes that a very special man has assumed the leadership of the Catholic Church, and this begins — but does not end — with his gestures of humility and care for everyone," Carl Anderson, an executive producer of the documentary, said Dec. 17.
Anderson said many of the details of the Pope's life "remain largely unknown to the public," including "the ways in which he has defended the voiceless and Catholic principles."
"This documentary delves into those stories," he said.
Anderson is Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal charitable organization with over 1.8 million members worldwide. The Knights said the documentary will help people learn more about the man who was recently named Time Magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2013.
The hour-long documentary begins with the Pope's election on March 13, 2013 and revisits his background in Argentina, where he served as Archbishop of Buenos Aires and as a Jesuit provincial.
Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, is the first Pope from the Americas and the first Jesuit elected to the papacy. He has long been an advocate for those struggling economically, including those who lived in the slums of Buenos Aires. He also helped protect those endangered in Argentina's Dirty War.
The documentary includes interviews with the Pope's close friends, his fellow priests, his co-workers, his biographer, and the poor of Buenos Aires. It covers his personal life, including his family relations and his support for the San Lorenzo soccer team.
It also addresses how his work sometimes drew opposition from Argentina's political elites.
The online retailer Amazon.com has had to reorder DVDs of the movie several times because it ran out of stock. It is presently selling the English-language DVD for $14.96. The DVD is also available in Spanish.
The documentary has been broadcast on U.S. cable television, and Mexican broadcasts are planned.
Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles has praised the film.
"The whole world is talking about Pope Francis," he said, adding that such interest is "a sign that millions in our secularized societies are still seeking God – and they're still looking to the Catholic Church to show them the way."
The documentary, he said, "presents a Pope who has a beautiful vision for human happiness and a Pope who is calling the Church to deeper love for Jesus and a new desire to bring our neighbors to God."
The documentary's website, which includes a movie trailer, is at [www.PopeFrancisDocumentary.com](www.PopeFrancisDocumentary.com).

Our company strives to sell you the very best and safest Pure fish oil we can find.

Buy the very best oil you can from a UK supplier.
Many people in the UK have vigilantly warned against eating fish, as virtually all fish these days contains dangerously high levels of mercury and other toxic contaminants.If it wasn't for the health risks posed by this contamination, fish in general would be among my absolute most recommended foods for their outstanding nutritional benefits.
Body by Nature Fish Oil

The Health Benefits of Fatty Acids
There are 2 types of fatty acids actually called 'Essential Fatty Acids' which our bodies cannot produce naturally. But, it is vital that you need them to live. The only way to get them into your body is by consuming them. Omega 3 and Omega 6 levels has sharply fallen over the years because of our diets which means we are ill-equipped to assimilate an unsuitable fat intake. The answer is to consume more fatty acids and start reaping the health benefits that can give. Or to take a good supplementation with all the benefits that Body by natures fish oil offer.
The Health Benefits of Oily Fish and Fish Oils
Oily fish is an excellent source of protein, vitamins and minerals that is connected to essential roles in normal brain functions. Our pure fish oil is made from whole oily fish such as; anchovies, herrings and sardines Rich in omega-3 oils, these fish contain calcium, iron and phosphorus. Niacin is also an active ingredient which helps with DNA repair, and selenium, for cell function. Herring Herrings are a great source of protein and vitamin B12, alongside the benefits of selenium and phosphorous, which aid DNA health. Sardines are a great source of calcium when eaten with the bones intact, especially for those who want to avoid a dairy-rich diet. Body By Nature sardines are fished when they are at their prime to provide the best levels of Omega 3.
Supplemental Sources of Fatty Acids
It's by far the most convenient and easiest way to consume the all important fatty acids that the body requires. By supplying them ready formed, you negate the need for the wasteful process of conversion, and supply the body directly with what it needs. Fish oils from the body of the fish, rather than the liver, bestow all the health benefits of fatty acid nutrition without the worry of accumulated toxins.

My kids overoverovergorged.
Next time you do this I am calling the den leaders (you know who you are) at 2:00 a.m. to come over to my house and clean up 3 kids worth of barf.
Thank you.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Hmmm... they may be off pizza for the rest of their lives (now would that be a good or a bad thing?). Happened to my kids too, although it was viennas - as grown-ups, they still won't touch the stuff!
Well, good luck, I hope you and Nerse get through your day, you must be rather tired!
Marie went to Boy Scout meeting too? Marie is awesome!
Marie is a Girl Scout, but likes the Boy Scouts better, and since both her brothers are scouts, and the den leaders let her, she tags along and does most of the activities.
Aren't boy scouts supposed to eat like twigs and berries?
::face:palm:: Let me guess, they sent notes home with the scouts (no, this has never happened to me). If they want to have a surprise pizza party and not have the kids know about it, they need to use the phone tree or email.
Of course, I wouldn't have to worry about this with my kids, my daughter doesn't eat pizza and my son actually won't eat past gorge. It only took once. OTOH now they are teenagers. ::shudder::
i've got one kid who won't eat pizza at all either ... and she decided that she wanted frozen broad beans instead of an icecream yesterday ...
but that wasn't what i was going to say ...
i was going to wish you a good day - even with such a bad night ....
I hated pizza as a kid, too. I like it now, though it's not my favourite.
You already know this, but Marie is so cool.
Too bad they did not have a bunch of six packs for you guys.
OMG! I agree with ERP!
It's awesome that the den leaders are down with Marie tagging along! Since my local pack felt my fourth-grade daughter is too old to tag along with me, my volunteering with them has slimmed down to sewing patches on (dry cleaners charge so much for it!) and day camp.
I think this may be a sign I need to transfer to a pack that feeds me pizza. I'm up-to-date on all my training, housebroken and don't bite. (Wait, that last part was about my cat. He's not a registered Scouter.)
Little Calf Creamery. Delicious homemade ice cream and food in Thousand Oaks!

The Associated Press photo made the "Most E-mailed" list today at Yahoo.
Update 6/11 – Performance now showing on YouTube.
Update 6/12 – Danger mouse (half of Gnarles Barkley) spoke recently at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. He revealed that the costumes were originals, sent over by Lucasfilm
Caption: Singer Thomas 'Cee-lo' Calloway of Gnarls Barkley performs at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards in Culver City, Calif., on Saturday, June 3, 2006. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson)
Producer Danger Mouse and rap artist Cee-Lo make up Gnarls Barkley. In April, their first album, St. Elsewhere, was released and available for download on iTunes. The hit song is called "Crazy," which hit #1 in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Australia, and New Zealand; it's highest point thus far is #35 in the U.S.
At the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, Hayden Christensen won for "Best Villain." Hayden vs. Ewan McGregor lost to — what a surprise — Angelina Jolie vs. Brad Pitt in the "Best Fight" category. McGregor was also nominated as Obi-Wan Kenobi, but lost to Christian Bale (Batman Begins) for Best Hero.
In addendum: Gnarls Barkley is Alternative / Soul / Experimental music.

When there's a baby around, it's sometimes hard to keep track of time. At least that's how I feel. Especially in those first few months, with round the clock feedings, erratic nap schedules, and doctor's appointments. BeCuddle, a new app created just for parents, aims to make life a little bit easier.
BeCuddle not only makes it easy to keep track of diaper changes and feedings, but milestones, growth, and even medicine. There's quite a few apps out there that help with each of these things, but this is the first one I've seen that combine them all into one.
There are several categories that can be tracked — sleep, feeding, growth, milestones and medical.
Because of all the health problems my son has had, I really like the medical section. It has the option to add doctors visits, record vaccines, and, my favorite, keep track of medicines. My son has been on at least one medication since he was just one month old, and it has sometimes been hard to remember when we gave him what. Obviously, an infants medicine intake needs to be carefully monitored, and I would have loved to have something like this.
This app really makes it easy to keep track of growth of an infant. I think it could also be helpful to show a pediatrician, such as if they are inquiring about how much a baby is eating, their urine output, or milestones. Half the time when we are at the doctor and discussing things, I have no idea what to say, and it would be so nice to be able to pull out my phone and give some hard facts.
Overall, I really liked this. Although my son is quickly leaving the infant stage (he'll be one on March 6th!,) I will definitely keep this in mind for our next baby. It is available for the iPhone only right now, though I hope it will be available for Android as well. One specifically made for the iPad would be nice too. It's also free, which makes it even better in my eyes.

It was a tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears on Wall Street last week, as investors digested the slew of mixed economic and earnings reports. Gold dominated the headlines earlier in the week after the precious metal tumbled over 9% last Monday to mark its biggest one-day percentage drop in 30 years. Meanwhile, disappointing reports from China weighed heavily on the markets – economic growth in the first quarter came in at 7.7%, as compared to the expected 8% increase. On the home front, jobless benefits rose for the fourth time in five weeks. This week, investors will once again see many earnings and economic reports. Below, we outline three ETFs that should see a fair amount of activity during the week ahead [see also 7 Simple & Cheap ETF Model Portfolio]:
1. FTSE Europe ETF (VGK, A)
Why VGK Will Be In Focus: This ETF offers broad based exposure to the developed economies of Europe, spreading holdings across more than a dozen markets.

In a peaceful, friendly and convenient location, in the centre of Bushmills a step away from a range of restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops, The Pyjama Factory is located just minutes from the Old Bushmills Distillery and 2 miles from the famous Giants Causeway World Heritage site. This is the perfect location to explore the natural beauty of the Causeway Coast and local seaside towns of Portrush, Portstewart, Portballintrae and beyond.
Recently converted into stylish, low carbon, self-catering accommodation, The Pyjama Factory is a 4 star Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) approved property. The building was originally used as a grain store which dates back to the 1800s, but in more recent times has been used by a textiles company to produce pyjamas that were sold all over Ireland. Just 2 miles away from the spectacular Giants Causeway, The Pyjama Factory is located in the heart of an area outstanding natural beauty, which is rich in history and Irish folklore.
The building has been converted into 2 stylish townhouses and 2 characteristic apartments that offer the perfect base for family, golf, surfing and walking holidays, or for those who are just looking to relax.
The construction methods and materials used when converting the building were selected to ensure that each holiday home is Eco Friendly and promotes sustainable tourism.

There's 1,200 furry friends out there, spread among six Silicon Valley animal shelters that have banded together in a campaign to find the animals permanent homes for the holidays.
According to shelter officials, only 25 percent of pet owners adopt an animal from such a facility, and that's something the Shelters First campaign aims to change.
"We need to raise awareness to the point where another 5 percent of owners adopt from our shelters," said shelter supervisor Brigid Wasson in a statement. "That will put thousands more animals in loving homes — and forever eliminate shelter overcrowding."
The shelters are offering a December adoption special, which will have reduced $12 adoption fees through the month for adult animals. Baby animals are available at regular prices.
All six Silicon Valley shelters are overwhelmed, and have been working together on short-term solutions such as transferring animals between shelters and moving them into foster homes. Officials said the clear solution is to raise the rate that people adopt animals from shelters.
"Dogs and cats should not be in shelters," stated Beth Ward of the Humane Society Silicon Valley. "Our shelters are beautiful, but they're not homes. Our volunteers and staff are warm and wonderful, but they're not the same as a permanent, loving family.
Shelters First is a joint effort between the City of San Jose Animal Care Center, Humane Society Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority, Palo Alto Animal Services, Santa Clara County Animal Shelter and Town Cats of Morgan Hill.

The video could not be loaded.
No ads
The film is the story of three friends - Guri, Deep and Sher Singh - who are studying in a university and are staying together in the hostel of the same university.
They do everything together - bunking classes, getting into fights with a rival group, talking and laughing over numerous cups of tea - and they even fall in love together. However, the love stories of all the three friends turn out to be complicated.
Sher Singh, who is a typical village boy with hardly any knowledge of English, falls in love with a girl who was born and brought up in Canada and who talks in English. Guri, who has been failing in the same class for the last two years, falls in love with a girl who has always been a class topper and is the most intelligent girl in class and Deep, a shy Hindu boy, falls in love with a girl who belongs to a family of hardcore desi Jatts.
So the three boys go through the trials and tribulations of love and of college life and in the process form an everlasting friendship.
In fact such is their friendship that they are gladly willing to take a bullet for each other when the time comes. People are certain to find incidents and elements from their own student days in the film.

The conjugacy classes of the permutation group $S_n$ are indexed by partitions like $[6]$ and $[2,2,2] = [2^3]$ describing the cycle type. What happens when you take products of two whole conjugacy classes? I saw in a paper, $$[6][2^3] = 6[3,1^3] + 8[2^2,1^2]+5[5,1]+4[4,2]+3[3^2]$$ Which I take to mean if you multiply a 6-cycle (abcdef) and a product of disjoint 3-cycles (pq)(rs)(tv), you can get
- a three-cycle (abc),
- two two-cycles (ab)(cd),
- a five-cycles (abcde),
- a four-cycles and a two-cycle (abcd)(ef),
- two three cycles (abc)(def)
With certain multiplicities. Is it predictable what kinds of conjugacy classes you get? Is there an interpretation of this as the intersection cohomology of some moduli space?

text: EatsRainbows 49 Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Hola! I have had acne for the past 3 years. I hate what it's done to the way I look and ultimately the way I feel about myself (but I won't spend too long complaining about acne, as I guess you guys all understand completely). I have been on Lymecycline (Tetracyline) and Dianette (BC) for more than 8 months and although I've seen improvements, I'm still getting more acne. More acne means more scarring and the thought of even more scarring is just unbearable, so I've decided to give Roaccutane (Accutane) a go. Here in the UK, being prescribed Roaccutane on the NHS isn't the easiest thing and my experience with the NHS has been a little complicated, so I won't go into it now but if you're interested then please ask me and I'd be happy to explain Since I'm female, I had to discuss the whole pregnancy prevention plan, however, since I'm not sexually active, I've decided to opt out of it. My derm recommended that I still continue to take Dianette for the first couple of months of my treatment because she didn't want me to stop it, have all my acne return to how it used to be and then to be hit with an initial breakout from the Roaccutane as well. I'm afraid that there's quite a few details that I don't yet know about my treatment. I know that I am starting at 20mg per day and my derm has said that this will eventually be moved up to 50mg per day (I weigh 52kg). The thing I forgot to ask (me being a complete numpty) is how long my course will be for but I will ask at my next appointment. This is how my skin looks today: This is a picture that I took about a few weeks ago in horrendous light.... (please excuse the double chin... I was lying down!!) I have been making this decision for the past 6 months and have done literally hours of research before deciding that I'm going to do this. I have learnt so much from reading other people's logs, that I thought it was only fair that I started one of my own and so... here it is! If you have any questions at all then I'd love to hear from you, just ask ahead! Also, any top tips for a first time Accutane user? Any advice would be much appreciated Edited June 7, 2013 by EatsRainbows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bam Margera Calls Woman A "Sea Otter" And Gets Knocked Out
'Jackass' star Bam Margera was knocked out and bloodied after he called a woman a "sea otter" at this year's SXSW festival in Austin, TX.
As Margera told the gossip website TMZ, he was walking through the crowd at SXSW when somebody said something rude to him. So, according to Margera, "I began making fun of a big girl in the group. I called her a sea otter and asked her why she's in Texas. She should be in Alaska laying on an iceberg because she's a beached whale."
After this insult, one of the friends of the woman began fighting with Margera, knocking him to the ground. At that point, the woman Margera insulted punched him in the face, leaving him unconscious for seven minutes.
This is the second time in less than a year the 31-year-old has gotten the worst of a violent confrontation with a female. In June, Margera was hospitalized and 59-year old Elizabeth Ray was arrested after Ray hit Margera in the head with a pipe during an argument.

Star Wars creator proposes museum
Star Wars creator George Lucas wants to build a museum dedicated to visual storytelling in San Francisco's Presidio that would house an art collection he has amassed over more than four decades.
The filmmaker said he has long sought to showcase his collection of 150 years of populist art, which includes illustrations by Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish, comics and digital technology.
Lucas, 69, said he doesn't have enough wall space at his 2428ha Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, so he wants to invest up to $US300 million ($294.16 million) of his own money to build the museum.
"At this scale, there's nothing that has ever been done like this," he said in a recent interview with the San Francisco Chronicle.
Lucas submitted a 20-page proposal to the Presidio Trust last week, one of 16 bids to occupy the former commissary site at Crissy Field, the newspaper reported.
Lucas' obsession with visual art began when he was a child and would visit the MH de Young Memorial Museum in Golden Gate Park.
He grew up in Modesto, where his family owned an office supply store and a walnut farm, but Lucas dreamed of being an illustrator. He loved adventure books and the era's popular magazines, which often featured Rockwell covers.
His art collection began with his first acquisition, an Uncle Scrooge comic book page by Carl Barks, for which Lucas said he paid $US25.
"As a popular artist, I hit the same chord with people that Rockwell hit, that Michelangelo hit, that the people who painted on caves in France hit," Lucas said. "I relate to art more as an emotional experience than as an intellectual experience."
If his museum bid is accepted, the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum would receive a $US400 million ($A392.21 million) endowment upon opening and another when he dies, he said.
In December, Disney acquired Lucasfilm Ltd, which is already housed in the Presidio, a one-time military base turned national park overlooking the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific.
Among the other proposals for the Presidio commissary site are a colour lab that would allow visitors to explore what colour means to them; a museum to honour former University of California, Berkeley chancellor Michael Heyman; or a space to focus on the New Deal's achievements in the wake of the Great Depression.
The trust is displaying all the bids on its website, where the public can comment on the proposals submitted for an economically viable "cultural institution of distinction" that would offer cross-disciplinary programs and engage the community.
Craig Middleton, the trust's executive director, said finalists will be announced in April and a decision will be made this year or next.
"The proposals are imaginative and creative and speak to the site, which inspired people to think big," Middleton said. "We're very excited at George Lucas being one of them."

They're always so tidy, the images of Christmas. Joyous, well-behaved children opening the exact gifts that danced alongside visions of sugarplums. Parents serving a meal worthy of Bon Appetít to a houseful of guests worthy of InStyle. This is how we prefer to see ourselves. But I confess that at my house, we've had our share of Christmas images that would be better suited to the outtakes reel, or even the "delete" button.
Christmas can be a messy business. Hearts ache, nerves fray, and tempers flare. Losses resurface and wounds re-open. We cry out (or at least think), "It's not supposed to be like this." And still, in the midst of the mess, Jesus arrives. He doesn't care if the teenagers are wearing rumpled T-shirts, the gravy is cold, and the wine is not yet chilled. Jesus enters the room, looks right past our dried-out fir tree with too many ornaments on one side, and declares joyfully, without a moment's hesitation, "You belong to me."
During Advent, we need a reminder that messiness is actually the point. Messiness made the incarnation necessary. Only Jesus could restore us to our rightful image—the image of God, which we twisted and disfigured through our persistent refusal to love God and to love others as we should. And so, amid the messiness, the Word became flesh and, as Eugene Peterson puts it, moved into the neighborhood. Fully human and fully God, Jesus walked among us, revealing God's unfailing love through a life of healing the sick, caring for the poor, and welcoming the sinner. Through his miraculous birth, unjust death and triumphant resurrection, he has begun to clean up the mess that we cannot make tidy on our own.

Adriatic Adventure - Slovenia & Croatia, Italy, Bosnia & Montenegro
|Overview • Detailed Itinerary • FAQ's • Testimonials • Dates & Prices
Download Adriatic Adventure Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Dubrovnik, Croatia
Welcome to Croatia! Upon arrival in Croatia, you will be met at the airport and transferred to our hotel.
Day 2: Dubrovnik Sightseeing
This morning we visit the fabled city of Dubrovnik. Its motto is "Libertas" (liberty), because for several centuries the city-state of Dubrovnik (the so-called Ragusa) managed to preserve its independence while the coast fell under the sway of foreign powers. At its 16th-century height, the republic had the third largest merchant fleet in the world. Only a few will notice any remaining signs of the 1991-1992 siege, during which over 2000 enemy shells fell on the old city. Reconstruction was undertaken with astonishing speed and the old town again resembles its former self.
Day 3: Panoramic Drive Through Montenegro: Kotor, Kotor Fjord, Budva
Today is a long, exciting day! We leave our hotel early and cross the border into Montenegro to the beautiful coastal town of Kotor, tucked in the embrace of high mountains, bent over a deep bay (southern most fjord of Europe!) of the Mediterranean Sea. The beauty of Kotor Bay has been praised many times in verse. After a guided tour of Kotor, we drive to the mountains above the fjord, to Mt. Lovcen National Park's highest passes, to look at one of the most magnificent landscapes of all Europe. Kotor Bay is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The high craggy peaks of the bay make this landscape unforgettable, especially on rainy days, when a myriad of colors reflect off of the sea.
Day 4: Hike on Lokrum Island, Trsteno Plane Trees, Ston
This morning we will travel by local ferry to Lokrum Island Nature Reserve. One of the many Adriatic islands along the coast, it lies about 700 meters from the mainland. The island is covered with laurel, oak, pine and cypress trees as well as olives, agaves, cacti, magnolia and palms. In 1959 a botanical garden was founded, including a small salt lake. Our walk takes us past a deserted Benedictine monastery founded in 1023. We can climb to the fortress lookout tower for a spectacular view of the old city of Dubrovnik. After lunch we say good-bye to the island's resident peacocks, and take a 30 minute ferry ride back to Dubrovnik.
Day 5: Sarajevo
Driving through mountainous central Bosnia-Herzegovina to the capital, Sarajevo, we find one of the most Oriental cities in Europe. Here, amongst the minarets and the Bascarsija market, we can find the true Turkish coffee. Our tour will show us the city's multicultural religions, cultural make up and the hope of the city in its post war revitalization. We also visit the spot where Franz Ferdinand was killed, a historically important event in starting WW1. We return to Mostar for dinner and overnight.
Day 6: Bosnia: Mostar Sightseeing, Blagaj Monastery
After breakfast we set out to enjoy the magnificent city of Mostar, the unofficial capital of Herzegovina, in the southern region of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Old Town is entered through its famous stone arch, "Stari Most", a bridge binding two banks of the emerald Neretva River. This is a city of heroism and poetry and composed of narrow, winding streets. Here we will visit the Old Bridge, a Turkish house, and a mosque, as we learn about the cities Muslim heritage.
Day 7: Croatia: Imotski Sinkholes, Split Sightseeing, Free Time in Trogir
After breakfast, we drive back to Croatia. Enroute, we stop at two rarely visited, enormous sinkholes of Imotski, with deep lakes on their bottoms. Both of these lakes were created by water erosion of the underground channels and caves. Earthquakes have further contributed to the current shapes, even though the region is not tectonically active.
Day 8: Boat Cruise to Visovac Island, Krka Falls, Torak Spring
This morning, enjoy a 1-hour boat trip on the Krka River to Visovac Island. Here we have a short-guided tour of the Franciscan Monastery. After our return boat trip, we walk throughout the national park to see hundreds of beautiful small waterfalls, deep in the river gorge. This area was declared to be a national park in 1985, primarily for its several rapids and cascades, also preserving one of the most valuable freshwater ecosystems of the country. A short drive through the countryside brings us to a great location at the top of a 100 meter (656 foot) cliff overlooking the stunning valley with emerald green Torak Spring at the bottom of the canyon.
Day 9: Sibenik, Zadar
After breakfast, we have a short drive to Sibenik. Here, we explore the sights, including the Gothic Renaissance St. Jacob's Cathedral, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and the citadel on a top of a cliff.
Day 10: Paklenica Gorges National Park
In 1978, the area of Paklenica National Park was put under the protection of the United Nations program "Man and the Biosphere". With its two monumental canyons, the second largest European preserve of Austrian fir, ancient beech forests and steep cliffs, this natural phenomenon is recognized as one of the most beautiful national parks of the northeast Mediterranean. Many species, particularly reptiles and birds, have been recorded here, including some rare and endangered species.
Day 11: Plitvice Lakes National Park, Otocac Mills
Today we travel to Plitvice National Park. This day is one of our longest travel days, however we have several stops to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.
Day 12: Mt. Ucka Panorama, Moscenice Village and Oil Mills
This morning (weather permitting) we drive up to the peak of the coastal range of the Istria peninsula, called Mt. Ucka (1400 m). Here we enjoy magnificent views over the whole of Istria, the Bay of Trieste, the Julian Alps, and the Adriatic islands including Dugi Otok. You can see all the major towns of the area of which we visit tomorrow. On a clear day it is also possible to see Venice.
Day 13: Istria Peninsula: Pula, Rovinj, Porec
Today we have a long and rewarding day exploring the Istria peninsula, an archipelago of 13 islands, offering incredible flora, fauna and beaches. First we travel to Pula, which is famous for its 1st century Roman amphitheater overlooking the harbor. We tour the ruins to see the limestone 30 meter high outer walls that could enclose 20,000 spectators. We wander through the Temple of Augustus to see the statue of James Joyce. We continue onward to Rovinj for lunch, a charming fishing town, followed by a guided tour to see St. Euphemia's Church, named after a martyr saint from the 6th century, which has a commanding hilltop location. Later in the afternoon, we visit Porec to see a 6th century A.D UNESCO World Heritage Site basilica and its Byzantine gold mosaics. We return to Lovran for a late dinner.
Day 14: Hum, Slovenia Border Crossing, Hrastovlje Church, Socerb Viewpoint to Trieste, Italy
This morning we visit Hum, known locally as "the smallest town in the world". This fortified hilltop town has a medieval bell tower which overlooks the picturesque valley. We will have time to explore Hum's shops where we will find local brandies and paintings.
Day 15: Venice, Italy
This morning we leave for the two hour drive around the top of the Adriatic Sea to the treasure that is Venice. Known as the "Queen of the Adriatic" the city is made up of 117 islands, 150 canals and has 409 bridges. We take a ferry to St. Mark's Square and have a morning sightseeing tour of this UNESCO site. Enjoy a light Italian lunch followed by some free time to explore. There are so many choices - a gondola ride, sit in the piazza and feed the pigeons or enjoy a coffee at one of the famous outdoor cafes. We retrace our route back to Trieste for dinner and overnight.
Day 16: Trieste Sightseeing, Lipica Stud Farm
This morning we have a guided tour of Trieste. We will cover the most important sites, including the Basilica of San Guisto with its 13th century frescoes and mosaic of St. Justus, the town's patron saint. There are the 1st and 2nd century remains of the Roman theater and time to explore the largest seaside piazza in Europe - Piazza dell' Unita. Of course no visit to Italy would be complete without sampling some of her gastronomic treats.
Day 17: Skocjan Cave, Dormouse Museum, Sneznik Castle, Knizna Cave
In the morning we walk 2 kms through the incredible Skocjan Cave, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will walk 90 meters above the giant underground River Reka and finish our trip on the bottom of the deep sinkhole, from here a funicular takes us back to the starting point.
Day 18: Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle
We drive to the caves of Postojna. Hidden deep within this world-famous cave lies a rare beauty created over millions of years; carved, shaped and created by water - year after year. A small electric train shuttles us into the cave and from inside the cave we can witness the incredible stalactites shaped like needles, icicles, and even columns and pillars. Another highlight of the cave is a small tank filled with pink olms (fully aquatic, blind cave salamanders). These bizarre little animals are also named the "human fish" (Proteus Anguinus) and inhabit only 2 or 3 caves of the Dalmatian Coast. Postojna Cave has a constant temperature of between 8-10 degrees Celsius with a humidity of 95%.
Day 19: Hike Around Lake Bohinj, Mt.Vogel Cable Car and Savica Falls
This morning, we enjoy a hike around the beautiful glacial lake of Bohinj. After lunch a cable car takes us to Mt. Vogel where we enjoy spectacular views over the snowcapped Julian Alps and Lake Bohinj below. We can see Triglav, the highest mountain in Slovenia (9,396 ft/2,864 m), and the beautiful Lake Bohinj below us. The rest of the afternoon is free to relax or take a hike to Savica Falls, the highest in the country and one of the two sources of the Sava River. We also stop enroute to see a small picturesque WWI cemetery. During WWI, the area was the front line between the Austro-Hungarian army and the allies. It was immortalized in the famous novel of Hemingway, The Farewell to Arms.
Day 20: Lake Bled, Ljubljana Sightseeing
This morning we drive to Lake Bled, a picturesque green lake surrounded by the Slovenian Alps. We visit Bled Castle, perched on a cliff high above the lake. It offers spectacular views of the town, lake and countryside. From here we see the small Church of Assumption on a tiny tear-shaped island, the only true inland island of Slovenia, called Blejski Otok. We enjoy a relaxed lunch in downtown Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. We walk through the city center and around castle hill - an impressive castle that dates back to the 9th century. Climb up to the High Tower, for incredible views of Old Ljubljana, and the city's famous Baroque style monuments. This afternoon, enjoy some free time before we complete our tour with a farewell dinner.
Day 21: Departure
Following breakfast, we bid farewell to our new friends and transfer to the airport for international departure flights.
