Way too many instances of this end up being, "yeah, we knew he was bonkers and had the means, but our hands were tied (we were too lazy/underfunded/idiotic) to actually *do* anything.

Also, review the cases of people using automobiles as weapons of mass kills (driving through a market) and cases of a guy moving fast with a large knife through a crowd.
Look, I want to know why we in the US seem so unwilling to develop effective laws and techniques for dealing with these selfish bastards. But, unlike these monsters (or most people arguing for or against), I'd prefer to use reason and science instead of emotion to figure it out.

How is this "simple planning", or the same level of planning as getting a knife and slitting your wrist/throat, or getting some rope and hanging yourself?

Aurora is nearly 30 miles from Littleton Co.
Aurora is a city and county just outside Denver metro (on the eastside) while Columbine is in Jefferson County on the South West side of Denver.
They are two entirely different areas in just about every way you can imagine.
Aurora is a drug infested (and I don't mean pot), gangland where problems with illegal weapons have gone back for years.
Largest Mass Drug Arrest In Colorado History: 500 Officers Arrest 80 Suspects, 4 Cocaine Drug Rings Busted (PHOTOS)
So, this shooting while tragic, is not surprising like Columbine was due to where it happened.
I worked in the gun industry as a gunsmith for 5 years, and still have many friends in the biz.
Let's just say that with a few machine tools that are easily obtainable, you could mass produce simple military grade weapons such as AK-47s in very short order.
Hell, there are even books on how to do it.
The police/teachers/co-workers/spouses/whoever, don't take the threats of these people seriously and then tragedy strikes.
Charles Whitman told his family and friends he was going to kill people in Texas, and he did it.
You'd think after that event people would have started taking these disturbed individuals seriously and tried to get them help before they committed their atrocities.
Sadly, this is not a new problem.

BTW, I do not think they are selfish bastards, they are suicidal people that hate the society that turned them into nut jobs and said society happens to sell them firearms at the corner store; if japan did the same they would have these kind of news (even with their superior police system) instead of the knife stabbings we read in the news.
2. Kid exit door (the ones in the theater I go can be open with enough force, they are only meant to prevent people entering thru them without being noticed).
3. Open fire.
I fail to see how this is some kind of genius plan.

Knives can be just as deadly.
Japanese man kills seven in Tokyo stabbing rampage
A determined madman is a very dangerous thing.
We need to find a way to stop them BEFORE they do what they do.
All the gun-control, knife-control, poison-control...hell people-control...in the world will not stop a determined wackjob once he starts.
That is why it is so important to get to the person when they're talking or threatening to do these things, and stop them at that point.

There were only 10 killed in Aurora (originally reports were 12-14, now the local news is reporting 10).
Last time I checked, 7 is really close to 10.
Copper, brass, and primer material are plentiful and not difficult to make.
Smokeless powder is also easy to produce (though dangerous) using fertilizers [mostly dried and distilled chicken feces for the nitrates].
I will not post anywhere the actual formula, so don't ask as it can be construed as being intent to commit an illegal act.
Therefore, special machinery isn't needed to make weapons or ammunition.
The reason I know all of this is because during the 1990s the BATF was finding SKS and AR rifles without serial numbers here in CO.
They were asking FFL holders about it and warning us to turn said weapons and ammo over to them if they came into our shops.
The reason these weapons had no serial numbers (anywhere, not even on the barrels) was because someone was manufacturing them illegally.
And locally made ammo can still be gotten for a very reasonable price, if you know the right people.

Well, as it turns out, an internet friend of mine from another forum had a niece who happened to be at the scene of the shooting. She is counted as one of the dead.
My very sincere condolences to those who lost their loved ones.

I've been looking all morning to see what kinds of guns this nutcase used.
I have finally found them:
Authorities recovered four guns -- a rifle similar to an AR-15, a shotgun and two Glock handguns, a senior official with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms familiar with the investigation told CNN
Just by looking at that and knowing this shooting was happening in a smoke filled, dark room (the theater), I can say that the weapon that probably killed the most people was the shotgun.
It fires a spray and has the most chance of hitting.
The AR would be all but useless under those conditions.

For AKs, it depends on whether we are talking about the sheetmetal receiver type or milled receiver type.
The sheetmetal types can be made a 2-4 per month depending on what kinds of machines used.
If a CNC machine is available, then that number could be tripled.
However, I think it would be much easier for criminals to obtain their weapons from the government (like they do here in the US and they do in Mexico) through corrupt politicians, military personnel, and the police.

Update from Channel 9 news Colorado
Chief Dan Oats (Aurora police) said only one Glock pistol was used the other was left behind in the car.
He also said that only one AR round injured one person in an adjoining theater, and while they do not have any ballistics yet, the majority of injuries are from shotgun pellets. They do not know how many rounds he fired from his Remington 870 shotgun, but they suspect it was many.
The new official numbers are now, 10 dead on scene, 2 dead in the hospital, and 71 injured.
Shotguns are what Eric Harris and Dylan Kleebold used at Columbine, they seem to be the most consistant weapon of choice for these nutjobs.

Lots of historic buildings and a unique former secret military town of Karosta.
A large proportion of householders in Palanga offer rooms to let at very cheap rates. Simply look for signs offering accommodation.

The goal is to transform the underpass into an "inviting gateway" linking Pier 6 of Brooklyn Bridge Park and the shops on Atlantic Avenue. Over the years, the underpass has become an eyesore, dissuading pedestrian use.
In a statement released by the Atlantic Avenue BID the need for this beautification was made known. "The park is a destination but going there requires visitors to traverse a dirty and unpleasant underpass," read a statement from the Atlantic Avenue BID. "This grant will facilitate a much better connection between Atlantic Avenue's diverse mix of retail and this distinctive park."
With the help of New York City's Department of Small Business Services and Deputy Mayor Robert Steele, Atlantic Avenue BID was granted the $75,000 in seed money to get the project rolling. However, Josef Szende, executive director of the BID, said that the money is significant but not enough for the whole project.
Szende said that he was hopeful the rest of the funding could come from Councilman Steve Levin's participatory budgeting process. Under this program, community members nominate specific projects they think deserve $1 million in discretionary funding.
The BID is wasting little time, as they are already working to put together a proposal that includes lighting, way-finding signs, artwork and interactive experiences. While these plans are a blueprint, Szende said that nothing is set in stone yet because the BID will continue to seek public approval for all aspects of the project.
Helping the BID will be the Design Trust for Public Space, which will manage a participatory design process that will arrive at a "ready-to-build" design by the end of 2013.
"The project will be a game changer for Atlantic Avenue, sparking interest to walk all the way down the avenue and connect all of our destination shopping and dining with this destination park," said Szende.
"It is also a quality of life issue for us," said one resident of Brooklyn Bridge Park Condominiums, "the local residents who currently walk through a disgusting corridor to move back and forth between a fantastic waterfront park and an energetic and developing commercial area."

Ian Somerhalder: 'Vampire Diaries' Season 3 Promo Pics!
Check out Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, and Paul Wesley in these promo pics for the third season of Vampire Diaries!
The posters, which TV Line got a first look at, feature the co-stars each holding a piece of bloody fruit.
As for what fans can expect in the new season, producer Kevin Williamson recently told Collider, "The fun is the obvious, which is Damon and Elena's relationship, and how it progresses in the pursuit for Stefan and trying to save him, if he can even be saved."
"Damon is being thrust into this role of hero now. We saw it happening in the second season, and it's a role he's not good at or comfortable with," he added.
The Vampire Diaries season 3 premiere airs Thursday, September 15, at 8/7c on The CW!

Moscow GRAND SLAM | 21 - 25 August 2013
Moscow, Russia, August 25, 2013 – Maria Clara and
Carolina Salgado claimed their first Grand Slam gold on Sunday at the Vodny
Stadium in Moscow. The Brazilian sisters defeated Germany's Laura Ludwig and
Kira Walkenhorst 2-0 (21-15, 21-18) in the final.
The bronze medal went to Spain's Liliana Fernandez Steiner and Elsa Baquerizo McMillan after a 2-0 (22-20, 21-19) win over Italy's Marta Menegatti and Viktoria Orsi Toth.
After almost missing out on the knockout phase by one point on Friday, Maria Clara and Carolina decided that this luck should have a follow-up.
"We wanted this gold so bad", Carolina said. "We knew we had to do it right here today, if we wanted the gold. We were tired, but strong in our heads."
The Brazilians sisters served strong from the beginning and were very determined in winning the rallies. "When you play this team, you have to serve good, because they have a strong attack", Carolina said.
Germany, chanceless in the first set, took a lead right from the start of the second set, but from 11-11 Brazil took over again and held on to their two-point-lead till the end.
Long-time partners Maria Clara and Carolina had already won a gold medal before at the Myslowice Open. This year, when Carolina came back after her pregnancy, they were successful from the start with two bronze medals in Shanghai and Corrientes and two silvers in The Hague and Long Beach.
For new team Ludwig and Walkenhorst the silver was a nice step up from the bronze medal they won at the European Championships in Klagenfurt this year. For Ludwig, who won bronze in Moscow with Sara Goller in 2009, this is her 13th individual World Tour medal, but gold is still missing.
"It would have been great to win the gold medal", Ludwig said. "But it is our first year and we did pretty good. So it's cool. It was a long time ago I was in a final and for Kira the first time."
Liliana and Baquerizo win first Grand Slam medal
After they put aside their disappointment over losing the semifinal to Brazil, Liliana and Baquerizo claimed their first Grand Slam medal, after silver at the Anapa Open last year and the Fuzhou Open this year. Just recently they also won a silver medal at the European Championships.
"We really wanted a medal, but it was mentally hard to recharge", Baquerizo said. "We were disappointed. It was just the way we played", Liliana said. "We played really good in the last three matches yesterday, but not in the semi. So we are happy with bronze."

With the closure of some pediatric units in local hospitals, there's an emphasis on caring for children with a more regional approach.
At St. Luke's Hospital, pediatric care has taken a step forward with on-site physicians from Boston Children's Hospital and a new look in its rehabilitated pediatric emergency room and in-patient hospital unit.
With the closure of some pediatric units in local hospitals, there's an emphasis on caring for children with a more regional approach.
At St. Luke's Hospital, pediatric care has taken a step forward with on-site physicians from Boston Children's Hospital and a new look in its rehabilitated pediatric emergency room and in-patient hospital unit.
Boston Children's Hospital is now offering 24/7 staffed pediatric care at St. Luke's, both in its Emergency Department and in-patient pediatric unit. St. Luke's is Southcoast Hospitals Group's dedicated site for pediatric care. Besides treating children from the New Bedford area, it is also serving children from all areas of southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
When 21-month-old Judah Massoud of Fall River got sick in July, his pediatrician referred him to St. Luke's for care. Judah suffers from asthma, and when sick with a cold or flu, his symptoms act up and make it hard for him to breathe.
"He had been really sick and in and out of the pediatrician's office," said Judah's mom, Erin Massoud. "They sent us here. I was surprised. We didn't know about it."
The Massouds arrived at the new five-bed pediatric section of St. Luke's Emergency Department. The department is quiet and completely closed off from the rest of the Emergency Department.
"We felt very well-taken-care-of," said Jonathan Massoud.
The Massouds said they had typically taken Judah to hospitals that required a long and stressful ride on the highway for care. Now, they plan to visit St. Luke's whenever Judah or their daughter, Penelope, 4, gets sick.
Judah spent four days at St. Luke's in one of 22 inpatient beds in the newly renovated pediatric suite. Each oversize room is large enough for family members to stay overnight, which the Massouds took advantage of. Amenities include a family room and play room, bright, child-friendly artwork and lots of toys and video games.
"It's so nice to know this is here," Erin Massoud said. "I wouldn't hesitate to come back. It's really convenient and we got really good care."
St. Luke's is a site of Southcoast Hospitals Group, which also runs Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River and Tobey Hospital in Wareham.
Both Charlton and Tobey see children in their emergency departments and offer consultations with Boston Children's physicians at St. Luke's.
Tobey Hospital closed its inpatient pediatric unit a year ago, citing too low a volume of patients to keep the unit open. It said the hospital was averaging about one patient per week and was no longer able to sustain the unit or keep doctors and nurses trained to treat young patients.
Tobey isn't the only local hospital to shut down its pediatric program.
Morton Hospital in Taunton closed its pediatric unit for similar reasons this summer, after an outcry from the Massachusetts Nurse Association and others, though it does continue to see children in its Emergency Department.
Morton Hospital is owned by Steward Health Care, the entity that runs Saint Anne's Hospital in Fall River, which offers a pediatric unit in that city and has no plans to close.
Dr. Brian Sard, Boston Children's on-site medical director at St. Luke's, said word is getting out about the program. He said he's seen patients that may have typically gone to Tobey and Morton hospitals.
"It's a plus for the community," Sard said. "It's a real plus for families."
Sard, a Dartmouth native, said families can bring their children to St. Luke's and "get a lot of the same services as Boston Children's."
He emphasized the fact that Boston Children's physicians are on staff 24 hours a day and work closely with local primary care pediatricians.
"It brings me much pride to be able to lead a program that brings top-quality care to my own community — for my neighbors," Sard said.

Hey, beach episode right away? About damn time.
Somehow, watching this suddenly reminded me of how much I loved the first season... and of how I'm glad that summer isn't all that far away anymore.

A beach episode? That's usually my least favorite type of episode, honestly, they're often kind of bland and they've become horribly overdone the past few years (I mean, beach episodes have been common enough in anime to be called a tradition since before I was born, but lately it seems like literally the majority of shows I watch have one), but I'm not really bothered in this case because the episode looks good to me based on that preview. The scenery around 17 seconds into the preview is really pretty, and the opening song is very nice as expected (I've liked both of the Baka Test openings a lot, the OVA opening probably moreso than the first season's), though I'm trying to avoid listening to it so that it will still feel new whenever Baka Test 2 starts.
Hopefully the premiere date will be announced soon - according to Countdown Anime, every known summer anime except four have had their release date confirmed. Maybe they're saving the best for last, since Baka Test is the best show of the summer season and all.

Two things I want to be clear about in the second season:
1. What made Shouko so crazy about Yuuji? We know from the first season that Yuuji promised Shouko something, but he was just forced to do it so it is possible that he didn't mean it at all, but Shouko took it too seriously.
2. The mystery of the century: How come a straight-A student named Mizuki Himeji came to like the "idiot among idiots" named Akihisa Yoshii? Maybe because they were childhood friends but either party (IMO it's Akihisa) didn't care about it too much or forgot about since it was like 10 years ago since they last met?
About #2, well, okay, somebody bite me, but I think something like that happens IRL. I know a couple of classmates who are much in love even now. The girl was a straight-A, the boy isn't.

Character songs were already announced for the upcoming season. I like the rather nonstandard setup they have going.
First is a CD single featuring a duet from Minami and Himeji on their frustrations in this thing called love. The B-side is a song by Minami about trying to get rid of her flat chest. (A novelty song, I love those!)
The second CD is listed as an "Akihisa Harem CD", featuring him having duets with Himeji, Yuuji, Minami, Hazuki and Hideyoshi. Given how different his relationship is with each of those characters, I'm expecting good things.

I look at smartphone cases all the time and am constantly "oohing" and "ahhing" at every pretty one I see. I naturally gravitate to the more feminine cases and have been really impressed by a handful of ones I've seen recently.
Amy Sia: I'm a fan of Amy Sia's work and love how Society 6 turns artwork into phone cases. Sunset Storm is my favorite piece from Amy. It's a beautiful blend of bright colors that are surprisingly soft on the eye but still very cheerful with all that color.
BlissfulCASE: I've been obsessed with colorblock lately for jeans, skirts, dresses — you name it. BlissfulCASE is a collection made by two designers in Brooklyn whose designs are "authentic, childlike and made by free hearts." They have a gorgeous set of cases incorporating colorblock and wood prints that give the smartphone a rustic vibe that I adore.
Velvet Owl: On the other end of the coast, Velvet Owl is a design studio in California that gets design inspiration from Cali and the Pacific. My favorite is their Bodega Bay case that reminds me of the ocean and sand. It's available for the iPhone 4, 4S and 5.
Polka Dot: I'm almost as obsessed with polka dots as I am with colorblock. I like this one because it's subtle, with smaller dots, and is in that pretty Tiffany blue.
Running on Happiness: As a writer, I always appreciate the beauty of a written word or phrase. Kate Spade offers a great variety of iPhone cases with cute little phrases, but I also discovered this one for Nexus phones.

A Smoother Journey
The journey from large molecule to approved biotherapeutic is long, costly, complex, and fraught with risk – yet tempting with reward.
Knowing what to expect, where to go for support, and uncovering biotech startup resources can smooth the path for emerging biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies.
Click the arrow on the right or use the buttons above to begin your journey from Discovery to Manufacturing, from funding to protecting intellectual property and complying with regulations.
A biologics candidate journey of 1,000 miles…
Funding will be necessary to validate your therapeutic compound candidate, as you take the protein-based molecule through target validation, lead identification, and optimization.
You will also need intellectual property (IP) protection. Researching and filing for patent protection – and understanding best practices to increase chances for success – is critical at this early stage.
Safe & Effective
Pre-clinical testing establishes that the target compound is safe and effective – before it can be tested in humans. The in vitro, in vivo and animal testing at this stage can take several years – as many as six.
The goal here is preparing and filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) application.
To cover toxicology and safety studies, prepare for manufacturing considerations, and outline clinical trials protocols, you need capital.
It is also helpful to begin understanding the regulatory requirements – so you're staying the course and correctly tracking data you'll need later when filing the IND.
It's Only Human
Phase I means you've filed your IND and are ready to begin evaluating your drug in humans.
More funding – in the millions – will be necessary to survive the average three-year span of Phase I clinical trials. These test the drug in a group of 20-80 healthy individuals to determine:
Is it Effective?
Phase II tests the effectiveness of the biomolecule in actual patients with the disease or illness you're attempting to treat. These years-long (three, on average) clinical trials involve a few hundred volunteers and help determine the drug's safety, any side effects, and optimal dosing.
Phase II is high stakes, because determining efficacy is critical to obtaining the funding you need to continue testing. Learn more about funding requirements and how to obtain capital here.
Statistically Proven
Phase III trials use a much larger patient population – in the thousands – to give statistical weight to results that can prove safety and efficacy. This phase helps determine the drug's benefit-risk ratio. Averaging three years, Phase III trials consume the vast majority of overall investment – as much as 90 percent – because of the requirement for validation, larger size, and greater risk.
We offer technology transfer and facility design services to prepare you for transitioning from clinical to commercial production.
The Finished Product
Whether manufacturing clinical trial batches or commercial production, your manufacturing process must meet the same high standards as your R&D and clinical trials.
Things to consider in the manufacturing phase:
Primary Need
Lack of funding is one of the main reasons for failure of a biologic.
Estimates vary, but some project it costs $8-10 million just to get to IND stage, another $8-10 million for Phase I, and $20-40 million for Phase II, depending on design. Phase III costs considerably more.
Don't let a good drug go to waste, or too much of its value to third parties, because of funding issues. There are ways to fund biotech, from biotech crowdfunding, nondilutive funding, and nonsoursive funding, to biotech grants, angel investors, venture capital and other resources.
Intellectual property strategy is essential to protecting ideas and the business. Emerging biotech community members shared their insights.
Stay the Course
On the journey to commercialization, be sure to stay the course by understanding the global pharmaceutical regulatory landscape.

The fact that Maddalena Douse was born at just 23 weeks, and is the youngest premature baby ever to survive in the UK, is a miracle in and of itself. But the reason she's alive makes the entire situation all the more miraculous. See, current guidelines in England don't suggest providing active care for babies born 22 weeks and 6 days or before. But when they put Maddalena on the scale, and realized that she weighed 1 pound -- the minimum weight for a baby to be considered "viable" -- they fought to keep her alive. Here's the thing, though -- Maddalena wasn't 1 pound. A pair of scissors had been accidentally left on the scale, making it seem like she weighed that much. And now, well, here she is.
Maddalena was discharged from Royal Sussex Hospital recently at the age of 6 months old, and she's expected to grow into a healthy child. Oh, and she's adorable. Sadly, though, she had a twin sister, Isabella, who died a few weeks after the girls were born. Maddalena's parents, Kate and Renato, are obviously thrilled with their daughter -- who is, in every sense of the term, a miracle baby.
I honestly have no idea what it would be like for a mother to give birth to a very premature baby -- and know that the hospital has a "cut-off", so to speak, in terms of how, or if, they're going to fight for a child's life. It's truly unimaginable. And heartbreaking. And no parent should ever have to go through something like that. I can't even begin to fathom what it was like for Kate and Renato as they waited to find out how much their sweet baby weighed -- because it would directly correlate to the care she would receive. In a word: Awful.
But let's try to focus on the good today -- I think we could all use some good right now. This little angel is meant to be on this Earth. Plain and simple. There's really no other way to explain the scissors being left on the scale, bumping up her weight. Who knows how they got there, or why they weren't taken off -- I like to think that some nurse was very kind and left them on there. It's nice to imagine there's someone like that in the world.
What do you think of this?

Riverine Rabbit, Bushman Rabbit, Bushman Hare
(Bunolagus monticularis)
Facts about this animal
The riverine rabbit reaches a head-body length of 34-48 cm. The tail measures 7-11 cm. Males weigh about 1.5 kg, females up to 1.9 kg. This rabbit has very long ears, a soft and silky coat and a light brown woolly tail with a black tip. Distinguishing marks include a distinctive white ring around each eye and a black stripe running from the corner of its mouth over its cheek. The belly and throat are cream in colour and the short limbs have particularly thick fur.
The Riverine Rabbits is a habitat specialist that occupies a very restricted and specialised niche: the discontinuous and dense vegetation on soft and nutrient-rich alluvial soils associated with the seasonal rivers of the Karoo. Riverine Rabbits therefore function as a biological indicator for the river zones in the Karoo, which are of enormous economical value for farmers. The extinction of Riverine Rabbits in many areas of its former distribution range in the Northern and Western Cape is therefore indicative of the severe destruction, fragmentation and loss of this habitat.
90% of the rabbit's diet consists of Karoo shrubs and the remaining 10% of grasses.
The Riverine Rabbit is a solitary, nocturnal animal and rests during the heat of the day in shallow depressions scraped out under shrubs. The breeding rate is unusually low. Breeding occurs between August and May. Females dig stable burrows in the soft and deep soils in which they raise, after a pregnancy period of 35 days, one (rarely two) offspring per breeding season. The newborn rabbits are blind, hairless and completely dependent on their mother, whereas hare leverets can see and have fur at birth. The live span in the wild hardly exceeds 4 years.
Did you know?
That conversion of habitat for agriculture has been the major threat to the riverine rabbit? More than 60% of the original riparian vegetation where this species is found has been converted to cultivation.

I had an assortment of pets growing up from livestock to domestic pets. One of my first pets was a rabbit. Not a very friendly rabbit. I also had many cats which tended to be rather aloof and not too cuddly. We also kept some birds which the cats often harassed. I did enjoy several litters of kittens which were born in our garage. I remember the mother cats tried to move their kittens into my closet :D.
I remember I also had a tiny turtle named Timmy who would often escape his home. We would have to comb the house to find him.
We also had a rooster which would wake the neighbors up so we had to get rid of it.
I became very attached to my apricot poodle named Romeo. I got him around the time of my Junior High School graduation. He was much more fun than the cats. He was a very lively companion, and like a little brother to me. He lived to be about 15 years old. It was a very sad day when he had to be put to sleep.
I don't have any pets now. Just no time to care for a pet now.

General Info
Penis Enlargement
Penis Enlargement Related Terms:
Body Procedures, Circumcision, Cosmetic Surgery, Member, Penile Augmentation, Phalloplasty, Phallus, Plastic Surgery
This operation also called phalloplasty. This procedure can be done in several conditions. Congenital birth defect called micropenis, those are men that were born with very small size penis not allowing them to procreate. Some other genetic malformation of the penis such as hypospadias, epispadias or fibrosis of the penis. The most common reason for men seeking this surgery is an esthetic needs and an individual feeling that their penis is too small. Penis enlargement procedure can be divided into two categories temporary and permanent methods. The temporary methods include pills, herbal supplements and vacuum pumps; these methods have various degree of success. Most of the procedures done today are permanent surgical enlargement of the penis length and width.
To enlarge the width, the surgeon uses fat grafts and performs a lipo sculpture. The fat is taken from another body part, it is being prepared by centrifuge or using special solutions and then injected into the penis. Afterward the surgeon "sculptures" the penis to achieve the new appearance. This way there is almost no tissue rejection and only a minimal scar is seen. Another method to enlarge the width is dermal or foreign body implants. Subcutaneous tissue is taken from another body site and implanted into the penis. Sometimes collagen grafts are also used. This method requires two step surgery and sometimes resulting in graft rejection and permanent penis damage.
The length operation lasts about an hour and general sedation usually applied. The width procedure takes one an half hours and can be done using IV sedation. You will be able to return to work after a few days, but you must wear a bandage for a week. After the operation it is essential to stretch the penis allowing better healing. You can return to sexual activity after 10-14 days following fat transfer and 3-4 weeks following length surgery. The pain is minimal and can be successfully treated with painkillers. The procedure does not affect the ability to have children.

I could not love anything more-the concept thru the creation. Has every feature I adore. I am not embarassed by saying I prefer being a "copier" rather than a designer, but this ranks apex level!
Aug 30, 2010, 05.45 PMby grosgrain
I'm blushing.
Thank you burdastyle for the fabulous feature:)
Aug 30, 2010, 05.23 PMby wzrdreams
This is a darling remake. I love Grosgrain's photoshoots as well… it's great to have so many varied and playful shots.
May I suggest that you (Burdastyle and/or Grosgrain) save all the photos to be the same pixel width? That way they won't get stretched when viewers use the "view all" option.

Training is an activity that has many approaches. Many paths lead up the mountain. Each one you follow may show you something not found on another. There is no right way or wrong way there is only the way, training! Training is where the discoveries are made.
No one knows all there is about combat as fighting is made up on many skill sets. We learn them piece meal a wee bit at a time. Gradually we develop some skills in various skill sets that may assist us in facing violence. Rick Wilson calls this process the micro skill set development and I agree we learn bit by bit and put the pieces together or access them as needed once they are ingrained.
So where does pressure testing occur in this process? Any where you wish, it's a feedback tool. Is sparring, sport testing real fighting...absolutely not! Will you benefit from the process. Yes! Is it real fighting no!
All training and all testing comes with an agreement. A rule set of what is okay and what is not. Every training drill is also bound with an agreement between the participants. The goal is to learn. the method is to learn from each other not to destroy each other.
Pressure testing and training is limited it's bound by rules to keep the participants safe. Skills are developed in controlled venues. Training is not real fighting, it's not ninja death matches.
Some would claim that these controlled venues are not real fights. They would be correct. Some others would claim that because these matches are not real they would be of no value. In this they would be wrong. Much is learned and developed within these controlled venues.
The assumption that a Kyokushin fight is of no value in skill development because there is no face punching is flawed. One can trained bound by the rule set of the drill, one can also step out of the drill and step things up. George Saint Pierre has proven over and over that Kyokushin practitioners can be very effective at striking the head with fists.
The limitations in training keep us safe; we do not have to endure devastating injuries in order to learn. One of the benefits of pressure testing is we discover a few of our short comings. We can then revisit/restructure our training to address these short comings. This to me is the real value of sport venues it provides the student with very good feedback as to their limitations.

Why do I have to use "went"?
It's time to go to the station. OK
It's time for us to go to the station. OK
It's time we went to the station. OK
In the last example we use the past but the meaning is present or future, not past.
It's 10 o'clock and the train leaves at 10:45. It's time we went to the station. OK (NOT It's time we go to the station.)
We often use this structure to criticize somebody or to complain.
The car is very dirty. It's time you washed it.
You can also say: It's about time.../ It's high time....... This makes the criticism stronger.
Jack is a big talker, but it's about time he did something other than just talk.
You're very selfish. It's high time you realized you're not the only person in the world.
Hope this helps.

Couple identified in murder, suicide
Fort Bend County authorities identified a husband and wife who were found dead inside their home from an apparent murder-suicide.
A man now identified as Ion Filip called sheriff's deputies shortly before 8 a.m. Monday to report he had killed his wife, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies arrived at the home in the 4500 block of Ferndale Meadows and found the bodies of Filip and his wife, Elisabeta Filip, both 34, authorities said.
It appeared Filip stabbed his wife to death before hanging himself, officials said.
The couple's two girls, 1 and 4, were in the house during the incident. They were not harmed and are now with relatives, officials said.

Soft Snow, Long Days and Great Discounts on Michigan's Slopes
March means the start of warmer weather and longer days in Pure Michigan. It also means prime time for hitting the slopes! To learn about spring skiing in Michigan, we spoke with Mickey MacWillliams, executive director of the Michigan Snowsports Industries Association.
Q: We understand that there are some great deals for skiing and snowboarding in Michigan during March. Can you tell us a little about this?
A: Shorter lift lines, low-season rates, carnivals and other fun activities plus some of the best snow conditions await skiers and snowboarders on Michigan ski slopes in March. Many ski areas remain open through the end of March, and some stay open well into April because of deep bases of natural and machine-made snow. To entice folks to ski instead of fleeing to warmer climates, our ski areas have come up with some pretty creative ways to get us out on the slopes.
Q: Can you give us some examples?
A: Spring carnivals with ski races across man-made ponds, costume contests, St. Patrick's Day celebrations and other events abound. Just about every ski area in the state has some sort of spring carnival with special reduced lift tickets or lodging rates. I encourage skiers to check MSIA's website, goskimichigan.com and click on the "News, Events, Specials & Discounts" button, which is updated almost daily. Here is a link to that page. A Monster Energy Slush Cup race at Shanty Creek, Sausage Fest at Indianhead Mountain, Huck Finn Snowboard Series at Treetops Resort, Brew-Ski Festival at Boyne Highlands and a treasure hunt, moon bounce and petting zoo at Ski Brule are just a few of the events listed. Easy links to Michigan ski area websites and snow conditions are also available from that Website.
Q: Besides wacky events and beer, what else does spring skiing offer?
A: Spring is my favorite time of the year to ski. The days are longer, the sun is high in the sky, the snow is soft and ski areas offer discount rates to get people on the slopes one last time. Efficient snowmaking has given Michigan ski areas the ability to provide consistently good snow conditions all winter long,. Most ski areas across the state are scheduled to be open for at least a few more weeks. Those in the northern portion of the Lower Peninsula and those in the Upper Peninsula typically stay open at least into late March. Although some Michigan ski areas stay open into April, I always advise skiers to check the website for snow conditions at the ski area they plan to visit before heading out. Links to ski conditions across Michigan are available on MSIA's website, here.

"Education Education"
What does an education get you? In ancient times in China, education was the only way out of poverty, in recent times it has been the best way. China's economic boom and talk of the merits of hard work have created an expectation that to study is to escape poverty. But these days China's higher education system only leads to jobs for a few, educating a new generation to unemployment and despair. D

Dual WAN & HTTPS Sites
Hi everyone,
Anyone ever have any issues accessing certain HTTPS sites? We have have our OpenBSD box acting as the firewall and it utilizes an aysmetrical dual WAN connection (two different ISPs). The error that is most telling is from LogMeIn where it states I have an IP address mismatch. This doesn't make sense to me since I have a rule that forces HTTPS traffic to only go through the first WAN interface. Furthermore, I also went ahead an reloaded my PF to only utilize the one interface and still have the same issue (did a pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf).
Below is my pf.conf.
# PF Configuration ############ ## MACROS ## ############ # Interfaces int_if = "vr0" #Internal Interface ext_if1 = "vr1" #External Interface T1 ext_if2 = "axe0" #External Interface WiMAX ext_gw1 = "x.x.x.x" ext_gw2 = "y.y.y.y" vpn_if = "tun0" #VPN Tunnel vlan100 = "vlan100" #VLAN Interface 10.0.2.0/24 # Misc ext = "{ vr1, axe0 }" localnet = "10.0.0.0/24" vlan100net = "10.0.2.0/24" abcnet = "10.21.0.0/16" vpnnet = "172.25.0.0/24" #SH_Ext = "x.x.x.x" SH_Int = "10.0.0.11" nonroute = "{ 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, \ 10.0.0.0/8, 169.254.0.0/16, 192.0.2.0/24, \ 0.0.0.0/8, 240.0.0.0/4 }" snglextports = "{ 21, 22, 443, 1194, 3389, 8008, 10000 }" abc_scanner = "{ 21, 80, 443, 990, 2002, 3000:3019 }" DHCP = "{ 67, 68 }" icmp_types = "echoreq" voipport = "{ 4569 }" # Addresses MFC8780 = "10.0.0.5" # Ports RDP = "{ 3389 }" # FTP Pass anchor "ftp-proxy/*" pass in quick proto tcp to port ftp rdr-to 127.0.0.1 port 8021 ############ ## TABLES ## ############ #################### ## GLOBAL OPTIONS ## #################### set skip on lo0 ########################### ## TRAFFIC NORMALIZATION ## ########################### #################### ## QUEUEING RULES ## #################### ######################################### ## TRANSLATION RULES (NAT) & SCRUBBING ## ######################################### match in all scrub (no-df max-mss 1440) match out on $vpn_if from $localnet nat-to $vpn_if match out on $ext_if1 from $localnet nat-to ($ext_if1) match out on $ext_if2 from $localnet nat-to ($ext_if2) match out on $ext_if1 from $vlan100net nat-to ($ext_if1) match out on $ext_if2 from $vlan100net nat-to ($ext_if2) ################### ## FILTERS RULES ## ################### #antispoof for $int_if #antispoof for $ext_if1 #antispoof for $ext_if2 block in log block out log # Block Non-Routable Addresses #block drop in quick on $ext_if from $nonroute to any #block drop out quick on $ext_if from any to $nonroute pass inet proto { tcp, udp } from { self, $localnet, $vlan100net, $vpnnet } # Single WAN - DISABLED #pass out log on $ext_if1 proto { tcp udp icmp } all ### Dual WAN Configuration pass in log on $int_if from { $localnet, $vpnnet } route-to { ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1), ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) } round-robin pass in on $vlan100 from $vlan100net route-to { ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1), ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) } round-robin # Single External Connection Path for Secure Ports pass in on $int_if proto { tcp, udp } from { $localnet, $vpnnet } to port $snglextports route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) # General "Pass Out" Rules For External Interface pass out on $ext_if1 pass out on $ext_if2 # Route Packets From any IPs on on $ext_if1 to $ext_gw1 and the same for ext_if2 and $ext_gw2 pass out on $ext_if1 from $ext_if2 route-to ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) pass out on $ext_if2 from $ext_if1 route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) pass in inet proto tcp to port ssh pass inet proto icmp # VPN pass quick on $vpn_if pass in on !$ext_if1 to $abcnet pass in on !$ext_if2 to $abcnet pass in quick proto udp from any to port 1194 block in on ! lo0 proto tcp to port 6000:6010
I think that you should add "log" to all of your rules, both pass and block, and use tcpdump with pflog0, and watch which pass rules apply.
I say this because watching pass rules may show you that the packets you want to direct to a single ISP with route-to are matching unintended rules. Unless "quick" is used, in PF, the last matching rule wins.
I see this rule, which I think you want to apply to this traffic:
# Single External Connection Path for Secure Ports pass in on $int_if proto { tcp, udp } from { $localnet, $vpnnet } to port $snglextports route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1)
# General "Pass Out" Rules For External Interface pass out on $ext_if1 pass out on $ext_if2

March 26, 2005
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - MIT men's track and field opened its spring season with a tremendous performance at the UC San Diego Collegiate Open. Both Uzoma Orji and Nate Ball punched their tickets to the NCAA Championships, while Ball once again shattered the Institute record in the pole vault.
The Engineers completed their first outdoor meet in second place out of 18 schools that scored. Just like the indoor season, Orji and Ball paved the way with dominating efforts in their respective events. Orji easily won the shot put, winning by over four feet with a mark of 54'5". He also won the hammer throw with a toss of 172'7".
Ball authored Tech's top highlight on the weekend, clearing 16'8.75" in the pole vault. The mark outdistanced a trio of Division I vaulters from the University of Southern California while setting a new Institute record.
Zach Traina also enjoyed a promising start to the spring, winning the 200-meter dash with a clip of 22.03. The Engineers added numerous top-five finishes throughout the day to finish with 90.5 points, off the pace of host UC San Diego, but ahead of the remaining field that included Division III national powers Middlebury College, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and Azusa Pacific.

The Chemistry Department has three types of courses available for students starting out toward careers in any of the sciences, engineering, or medicine. Students are placed into these courses according to the results of the tests in chemistry and mathematics that they take during orientation.
For students interested in the sciences, engineering or medicine, either CHEM 130 or CHEM 210/211 can be their starting point. Students who have had a strong course in high school (which may include AP credit in chemistry) are advised to start in CHEM 210 and 211, the laboratory course that accompanies it. CHEM 130 is recommended for all other students. Section 400 of CHEM 130 is reserved for students who would benefit from a smaller lecture section and more frequent contact with both senior faculty and teaching assistants.
Students who have had little or no laboratory work in high school should plan to elect CHEM 125/126 with CHEM 130. Other students electing CHEM 130 may postpone laboratory to a subsequent term.
Special Departmental Policies. The department requires that a student earn a grade of at least C– in all CHEM courses and mathematics and physics courses which are prerequisite for subsequent elections.
Safety Regulations. No contact lenses will be allowed in any chemistry laboratory. In laboratory classes, students must wear either prescription or safety glasses at all times.
Laboratory Check-in .
Check into labs on the first day they are scheduled. You must take a print-out of your class schedule to Lab Check-in. If you fail to appear, your space may be given to a waitlisted student without further notice and you are at risk of not being able to take that course for the academic term, if all sections become full.
CHEM Laboratory Waitlists.
If a laboratory section is full, join the waitlist through Wolverine Access backpack/registration before classes begin. Once the Registrar's Office closes the waitlists, usually the day before classes begin, no further students will be able to waitlist for classes.
Electronic permissions will be issued prior to the beginning of classes as space becomes available; students will be notified via email of the opportunity to enroll. All enrollment permissions are of limited duration and after the expiration date the open seat will be offered to the next person on the waitlist. Students should check their University of Michigan email often and register for the class as soon as they receive the permission.
Students who are still waitlisted after classes begin should attend the first meeting of the lab to be considered for any unclaimed seats. Students who are not physically present will not be considered for enrollment. Any available openings will be assigned beginning with waitlisted students by day/time order of their waitlist position.
Lab sections are often in high demand and it is recommended to enroll/waitlist as soon as possible.

Why Chinese Outbound Tourism Is a Good Bet
The U.K. is the latest country to relax visa rules for visitors from China. The WSJ's Wei Gu speaks fund manager Jim Rogers about why investors should look beyond the U.S. debt deal and focus on the opportunity offered by Chinese travelers.

NY MTA The Latest Public Transportation Group To Declare It Owns Facts
from the sigh dept
The latest example of this battle, sent in by Anthony Townsend, is the MTA in NY making life difficult for a guy who created a scheduling app for the Metro North train line. The guy also happens to have a blog about Metro North, that he's used to draw attention to problems with the service. That seems to have upset the MTA people, who claimed his site was "pretending to be an official MTA website." He pointed out how ridiculous that was, since most of the blog posts were highly critical of the MTA. Any reader would quickly recognize that it was not an official site.
Soon after that, though, the MTA threatened him over the scheduling app, claiming that it violates the MTA's copyright on its data. Except... you can't copyright facts. The MTA argues that if someone misses a train due to the guy's info, they'll get mad at the MTA. I'd argue that's overblown. First, so long as the app is clear that it's not official, there shouldn't be much of an issue. And, honestly, how often would that sort of problem occur? The real thing is that the MTA wants to squeeze money out of the guy, and sent him a licensing agreement demanding a share of any revenue he makes, but wants him to back pay for the past year or so, plus a non-refundable $5,000 fee. It also refuses to give him any notice as to when the schedule changes. Given the MTA's claims that they're against the app because people might miss the train, the fact that they're fighting him over being alerted to scheduling changes seems to make clear that the MTA is lying.
It's difficult to see how the MTA has much of a legal leg to stand on here, but they don't seem to have a problem being a bully against a developer who's actually helping riders have a better experience.

Anyone use a "pole-cam"?
Posted 18 June 2005 - 12:17 PM
Canon makes a 10m extention but it has to be ordered with quite a bit of waiting time, and I could use this cable in just two days time...
Pole enthusiasts may want to look at this page: http://www.jordansta...s/housings.HTML
made for surfing photography, perhaps you can get some ideas for your own rig there.

Posted 18 June 2005 - 12:33 PM
Ack! It's ridiculous to see what Canon charges for their remote. Worst of all, their remote switch (RN-80N3) is nothing more than three pieces of metal that make contact as you depress the button. The remote alternative that's sold for $10-15 on ebay is actually a nice little circuit board with a switch and there's even a sync port on the side for controlling multiple cameras.
Snappy, I do recommend you solder, silicon and shrink wrap the connections. Remember you're dealing with a wet environment and any water that creeps in is likely to cause your camera to go haywire (trust me! LOL).

You can use any kind of bulkhead that will fit in that hole. Ikelite is my favorite since it's so robust and you don't have to worry about effing up those tiny little pins living deep inside the Nikonos bulkhead...:-)
If you are really into this, you could even make a 3 pin wet-mate bulkhead connection.

I just got a message from Frink Photographic and apparently Seacam is either finished or nearly finished with some parts for the Mark II and D2x housings for pole-camming. Maybe Seacam "Silver" finish on the extension cord to protect it from creature teeth

One thing I haven't seen here mentioned (and forgive me if I overlooked it) was getting a little extra piece of mind and insurance against losing a very expensive rig to the sharks.
Secure connections can be made to the housing, but what if something like this grabs your housing? Last year in South Africa, I pulled my housing (with no strobes) from the INSIDE of the mouth of the this 16ft. shark on a couple of occasions. I had a number of teeth marks on the dome port.
Andre and crew were very helpful (based on their experience) and strongly recommended that I tie a very thick nylon rope from the handle of my housing to the boat, in case a white grabbed the housing and all of a sudden I found myself in a tug of war with a 3,000 lbs. fish. You either let go or go into the drink. The rope is the last resort and hope to retrieve whatever is left.
They joked that the sea bottom around Geyser Rock in Gansbaai is littered with expensive camera equipment, and despite numerous offers of $$$ to the crew to retrieve it, it remains there. Whether true or not, it's a valid consideration, especially if you have $$$ invested in the latest and greatest gear.

Posted 18 June 2005 - 02:00 PM
I agree -- I used steel cable that Douglas Seifert happened to bring along to tie my rig to the boat. I've seen sharks chomp far too easily through rope.
Use gloves. The cable I used had little sharp metal bits fringing off of it in various places, and it wasn't pleasant against the skin.
Posted 18 June 2005 - 02:05 PM
Posted 18 June 2005 - 02:16 PM
Good to see you here, too! I suppose some steel fishing leader (sp?) might do the job considering the shark's sharp teeth. I had a nylon line tied to the lanyard metal loop (I wondered what that was for?) on my camera but it was more in case my whole contraption came apart. If the sharks grabbed my housing I'm sure Jimmy would have jumped in and tickled the Tiger until she released it.
Now... What lb. test line rope should we be using in case one of those big leatherback decides to clutch-on and mate with our camera setup?!?! You know once they grab on there's no letting go!
Posted 18 June 2005 - 02:20 PM
Great to hear from you. I hope all is well. Let me know the next time you guys are in town.
Concerning traveling with the contraption, one of those containers/tubes used to travel with fishing poles would work fine. The tubes, found in any quality tackle store, come in a variety of widths and can be locked.

One question that was asked was about the remote release fitted to the EOS1DSMkII housing. I have this on mine (at least I have currently replaced it with a Nikonos socket for manual flash triggering, but its easily put back), and it consists of an S6 socket wired up through some Canon cabling which connects into the camera's remote socket. Its very nice and neat and I believe that cabling of up to 10m is available for remote triggering.
When I get around to it I intend to do some in-river photography and am looking into a 'tripod' - the best contender being an 'Overexposed Pro Platform' with ball arm sections fitted between it and the housing - unless anyone has any better suggestions.

Good joke, Canon!

Very friendly. Thanks for the excellent service.
Please pass on our thanks to your team for giving our office such a good scrub last week.
It looks great! I'm very impressed that the spots came out that had been cleaned before. And your Carpet Audit was great. I knew just what to expect. You're very professional and even think of things like booties to wear while cleaning.

Student Life Wellness at Wabash
Wellness means lots of different things to people, but at Wabash, we look at wellness as balance in life; a healthy balance between work and play, diet and exercise, and getting the most out of your time on campus.
Our Allen Athletics and Recreation Center offers stunning facilities for serious athletes and joggers alike. That's why the Princeton Review College Guide ranks Wabash's athletic facilities among the top-20 in the nation each year.
Nestled on the upper floor is our Student Health Center, where Doctors John Roberts '83 and Scott Douglas '84 — and Nurse Carol Lamb — have clinic hours every day during the week.
When you're ready to get in shape, lose some pounds, or prepare for a varsity season, head over to the Allen Center, where coaches, trainers, and strength coaches can design a perfect program for you.
For working out, there's no place better than our Class of 1952 Fitness Center. At 7,000 square feet, there's plenty of room for heavy lifters and stair climbers. A combination of Cybex and Hammer Strength equipment, as well as free weights and aerobic fitness equipment, allows each user to tailor a workout to their specific needs.
Knowling Fieldhouse boasts a 200-meter Robert H. Johnson Indoor Track, along with four full-sized basketball courts, which can be configured for use for volleyball and other intramural sports. Our baseball and golf teams also have elevated cages for off-season practice. When the weather is good, our walkers and joggers head outside to the J. Owen Huntsman Track inside Hollett Little Giant Stadium.
Swimmers love the Class of 1950 Natatorium, which features an eight-lane, 40-yard pool with movable bulkhead that allows for lap swimming and varsity swimming and diving practice.
The Allen Center has racquetball courts and an aerobics room, plus a classroom, a dozen locker rooms, and a training room that can get you ready for your workout.
Our outdoor athletic facilities are among the very finest in Division III. In 2011, the College spent $6 million to construct the stunning new Wabash Ballpark and Soccer Stadium at Mud Hollow Field; install FieldTurf on Sewell Field at Byron P. Hollett Little Giant Stadium; renovate the Collett Tennis Center; and create new intramural and recreational facilities at Mud Hollow.
Wabash Ballpark — home to the 2011 NCAC Baseball Champions — features stadium seating for 250 fans, press box, concession stand, batting cages, bullpens, and scoreboard. Likewise, the new soccer facility, Mud Hollow Stadium, seats 200 fans as they watch the Little Giants compete on their brand new FieldTurf Pro playing surface.
The Wabash football team has competed in Little Giant Stadium since the late 1960s, but a new playing surface — Sewell Field — was installed prior to the 2010 season, along with Hawksworth Scoreboard.
