Nasal polyps are soft, sac-like growths on the lining of the nose or sinuses.
Nasal polyps can grow anywhere on lining of the nose or the sinuses. They often grow where the sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Small polyps may not cause any problems. Large polyps can block your sinuses or nasal airway.
Nasal polyps are not cancer. They seem to grow due to long-term swelling and irritation in the nose from allergies, asthma, or infection.
No one knows exactly why some people get nasal polyps. If you have any of the following conditions, you may be more likely to get nasal polyps:
- Aspirin sensitivity
- Asthma
- Chronic sinus infections
- Cystic fibrosis
- Hay fever
If you have small polyps, you may not have any symptoms. If polyps block nasal passages, a sinus infection can develop.
Symptoms include:
- Runny nose
- Stuffed up nose
- Sneezing
- Feeling like your nose is blocked
- Loss of smell
- Loss of taste
- Headache and pain if you also have a sinus infection
With polyps, you may feel like you always have a head cold.
Exams and Tests
Your doctor will look in your nose. Polyps look like a grayish grape-shaped growth in the nasal cavity.
Your doctor may do a CT scan of your sinuses. Polyps will appear as cloudy spots. Older polyps may have broken down some of the bone inside your sinuses.
Medicines help relieve symptoms, but rarely get rid of nasal polyps.
- Nasal steroid sprays shrink polyps. They help clear blocked nasal passages and runny nose. Symptoms return if treatment is stopped.
- Corticosteroid pills or liquid may reduce swelling and other symptoms.
- Allergy medicines can help prevent polyps from growing back.
- Antibiotics can treat a sinus infection caused by bacteria. They can't treat polyps or sinus infections caused by a virus.
If medicines don't work, or you have very large polyps, you may need surgery to remove them.
- Endoscopic sinus surgery is often used to treat polyps. With this procedure, your doctor uses a thin, lighted tube with instruments at the end. The tube is inserted into your nasal passages and the doctor removes the polyps.
- Usually you can go home the same day.
- Sometimes polyps come back, even after surgery.
Outlook (Prognosis)
- Removing polyps with surgery usually makes it easier to breathe through your nose.
- Over time, however, nasal polyps often return.
- Loss of smell or taste does not always improve following treatment with medicine or surgery.
Possible Complications
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Polyps coming back after treatment

- You can't prevent nasal polyps. However, nasal sprays, antihistamines, and allergy shots may help prevent polyps that block your airway.
- Treating sinus infections right away also may help.

Envii's ambition is to create everyday favorite girly items with a sporty edge. We always explore the current fashion trends and seek to deliver value-for-money to a wide range of customers. The focus on fast delivery and affordable prices is an essential part of the Envii brand.
The first Envii store opened in 2013 located in Pilestræde, Copenhagen. Since then, Envii has expanded and now have 11 stores spread over 7 cities in Denmark and 1 in Amsterdam. Additionally, Envii own 5 shop-in-shops in malls and shopping centers. Envii's head office, placed in the heart of Copenhagen, is run by 12 individual girls each representing a part of the Envii DNA. With this creative and powerful team we create styles with a democratic approach which ensures that everyone can find their favorite Envii style in every collection.
In total we are +100 creative people living and breathing for Envii.
The Envii girl
The Envii girl is the best friend that you've always wanted. You can always count on her, whether you need a partner in crime at the wild parties or a trusting friend. She is ready to give you a cheerful hug, keep your secrets or share a big laugh.
Her look is stylish, without trying. With her own unique look, she dares to style herself in the latest fashion trends, being a first-mover and never a slave to fashion. She is in her mid-20's, fun and with a social personality, who is always up for an adventure; whether it is a big city getaway, a music festival or simply catching up over a coffee in the park. She is a social-media influencer and never further away than an Instagram-post.
The Collections
Envii items represent the contrasts between 'girly' and 'boyish'. Our collections are feminine with a sporty edge, mixed with contrasts of colors and details. Also, prints are a part of our signature style, as we add playful looks to our casual styling. It's all about statements.
With our fast deliveries, we are able to incorporate the latest fashion trends to our collections, in our own creative Envii way. We create and deliver 6 Envii collections every year. In addition, we also create 'express drops' and basic styles, which are added to the 6 collections. Furthermore, we do unique campaigns and special co-labs, adding even more to the Envii brand.
Our design method is to divide the collections into 3 categories; 'must-have', 'need-to-have', and 'nice-to-have'. The 'must-haves' are the simple, easy to use styles, that you can wear again and again. The 'need-to-haves' are the commercial key items of the season and the 'nice-to-haves' are the statement pieces of the collection. There is always a style ready, for the everyday Envii girl - we got you covered.

This recipe is a lot of fun. I think it's fun for anyone, but if you don't eat gluten, it may be extra fun. I saw it on Tasty Eats at Home, and the description of a chewy pizza crust with olive oil-crisped edges made with little more than quinoa and water sounded too interesting not to try.
You don't even have to steam the quinoa! Just soak it for at least 8 hours, then puree in a food processor or blender with enough water to make a batter. Then you pour it into a hot skillet with a slick of olive oil, listen to it sizzle and bake until golden brown. Add your toppings (I really loaded it up as you can see--maybe a bit too much!), heat 'em up and enjoy.
This reminds me of socca, the chickpea flour flatbread that I absolutely love, yet the flavor and texture are very different. Both are great (gluten-free!) alternatives to traditional pizza crust. Socca is usually eaten as a mostly unadorned flatbread, but I make a slightly thick version and use it as a base for all manner of pizza toppings. When it comes to this quinoa crust, I like the texture so much, I'd happily eat it plain.
Before I get to the recipe, I need to back track. The lovely quinoa pizza you see above was not my first attempt at the recipe. I had some red quinoa that had been languishing forever in my cupboard, so I used that. I always thought the red variety cooked in an identical manner to the more common light brown (blond?) variety, but in the case of this recipe, it didn't work.
Actually, it sort of worked. After soaking overnight, it baked up into a cohesive base for my pizza, but the individual grains remained largely intact--more like a quinoa cake than a batter. There was no soft chewy center, like I was hoping for. I pureed the heck out of it, so that wasn't the problem. Maybe the red quinoa is naturally firmer, or maybe mine was way to old and dried out. Anyway, I was so curious to see if the light quinoa would be different, and it was! Happy ending:)
Here is the red quinoa version, half cheesy, half dairy-free.
You can see the individual grains--not ideal!
Quinoa-Crust Pizza, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free
Adapted from Tasty Eats at Home
The quinoa must soak for 8 hours or overnight, so plan accordingly! You need a heavy, oven-proof skillet--cast iron is ideal. The quinoa batter should be the consistency of a slightly thin pancake batter. It will not be perfectly smooth, but the individual grains should not remain intact. You can season this with any dried or fresh herbs or spices you want. As far as toppings go, have fun!
Serves 3 to 4
1 1/4 cups light brown (not red) quinoa
7 to 8 tablespoons water
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, herbs de Provence)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve. Add to a large bowl, cover with cold water and soak at least 8 hours or overnight.
Place a 10-inch (measured across the base) cast iron skillet or heavy, oven-proof skillet on a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 F. Rinse and drain quinoa. Add to food processor or blender. Add 7 tablespoons water, and salt, herbs and pepper to taste. Puree until individual grains are no longer intact and mixture is the consistency of slightly runny pancake batter, 2 to 3 minutes. Add additional tablespoon of water to thin if necessary.
Take the hot skillet out of the oven and add the oil. Return to oven until oil is hot and shimmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Swirl the oil around the pan to coat and add the quinoa batter, spreading the batter and shaking the pan to form an even layer. Return to oven and cook until bottom side is golden, 10 minutes. Flip with a large spatula (crust should flip easily) and cook until opposite side is golden brown, 10 minutes more.
Switch oven to broil. Flip again and add your toppings. Still in the center of the oven, broil until toppings are hot and cheese is melted, if you are using cheese, 1 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. If you'd rather not broil, just return to the oven and bake until toppings are heated through. Slide pizza out of the skillet, cut into wedges and serve.

The Philadelphia Eagles have commenced their training-camp practices, and the top two quarterbacks continue to split first-team reps.
Per Sal Paolantonio, Mike Vick got the first shot with the first team. Nick Foles took the second-team reps. And rookie Matt Barkley brought up the rear, with the third-team reps.
According to multiple reports, however, Foles eventually got a chance with the first team. Foles' chances included a long throw to receiver DeSean Jackson, who made what is being described on Twitter as a "circus" catch.
And so it will continue until coach Chip Kelly names a starter. He's said that will happen when a starter emerges.
The longer that isn't Mike Vick, the less likely it ever will be.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (seminoles.com) – A hot start by Wake Forest could not be overcome on Sunday afternoon as No. 23/25 Florida State women's basketball fell to the Demon Deacons, 78-54, at the LJVM Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C.
The Seminoles (15-6, 3-5) faced their largest halftime deficit trailing 49-27 and could not climb out of the early hole. The Demon Deacons (12-10, 3-6) exploited the gaps in Florida State's zone defense and were able to work the ball inside. Wake Forest guard Chelsea Douglas scored 32 points against the `Noles, a season high by an opposing player.
ACC leading scorer Dearica Hamby of Wake Forest added 22 points and 10 boards, while the Demon Deacons shot 28-of-56 from the field in being the first opponent to make half their shots vs. FSU. Florida State senior forward Natasha Howard recorded her 16th career 20-point effort, finishing with 22 points and six rebounds. Howard moved into fifth-place on the FSU career points list with 1,518, tying Jacinta Monroe and passing three other Seminoles.
Howard also tied her career high with five blocks, the sixth time in her career she has reached that number.
Florida State was beaten on the glass on Sunday, as Wake Forest finished with a 46-37 edge. Offensively, the `Noles couldn't get their long range shooting going, hitting just 1-of-16 from beyond the arc.
FSU has now lost three straight against Wake Forest but owns a 23-17 all-time record vs. the Demon Deacons.
Trying to find some energy in the second half, Howard made a beautiful coast-to-coast drive to the hoop to give the `Noles some life as they trailed 53-34 early in the second half. However, Wake Forest responded with a few buckets that kept the second-half lead at 20 points or above for the most part.
FSU experienced its largest halftime deficit of the season and its most points allowed, trailing 49-27 at the break. Douglas had the hot hand for the Demon Deacons, shooting 7-of-11 for 19 points in the first half. Wake Forest also benefited from 11 fast-break points, as FSU was allowing just 4.5 points on the break entering the game.
Wake finished the game with 17 points in transition, while FSU added 16 on the break. FSU's 16 transition points were tied for its most this season.
Howard posted her 82nd career double-figure game in the first half, leading FSU with 10 points while Morgan Jones added eight. The `Noles did a good job forcing 10 first-half turnovers by Wake Forest, but FSU committed 14 of its own that the Demon Deacons capitalized on with 12 points of their own. The `Noles made just four turnovers in the second half.
The `Noles were hurt early by a few turnovers and some long-range shooting from the Demon Deacons, trailing 14-4 with 15:46 left in the first half. Wake Forest canned four of its first seven field-goal attempts, led by a couple 3-pointers from Douglas to highlight their strong start.
Florida State had its transition opportunities but were not able to convert its chances as it trailed 23-8 with 11:31 remaining in the first half. Wake Forest enjoyed a 12-0 run and capitalized on FSU getting to its spots late in its 2-3 zone. Douglas drained her first four shots to lead the Demon Deacons with 11 points. FSU got a steal and breakaway score from Howard for what was her 1,500th career point, the ninth Seminole to score that many.
FSU trailed 35-14 with 7:23 remaining in the first half, as Wake Forest continued to exploit high-low action against the Noles' zone defense. The Demon Deacons held a 15-9 advantage in total rebounds and generated a 16-8 edge in points in the paint, getting manageable looks inside.
Florida State begins a two-game home stint when it faces No. 2 Notre Dame on Thursday, Feb. 6, at 7 p.m. on ESPN3. FSU follows with a Sunday contest hosting Boston College on `Paint it Pink' day at 1 p.m., with that game scheduled to air on the league's regional sports networks.

Flex those big brains of yours and join us for our first Harvest House pub quiz trivia night, brought to you by Geeks Who Drink - D/FW.
Geeks Who Drink is a Denver-based company that hosts Bar Trivia at over 600 pubs and restaurants in 35 states. Our quiz is a collective effort of dozens of quizmasters, writers, fact-checkers, graphic designers and artists.
What's a pub quiz?
Simply, a quiz game played in a pub: to foster friendly competition, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!
Isn't that just "trivia night"?
No, and no. Most so-called "trivia nights" consist of either an MP3J reading Trivial Pursuit cards in between bad music, or a bunch of people staring at TVs with buzzers in hand. Our quiz burns through nearly 70 multimedia questions in two exciting hours. The quizmaster gets to know the players, and smack talk flying around in all directions is pretty much par for the course.
Does it cost anything?
Nope. This is a free event.
Do I need to sign up beforehand or can I just show up and play?
Just show up. Team size is limited to six. Play solo if you'd like, but don't blame us if you're lonely.
All right, so what's in it for me?
Besides a couple hours of free entertainment, the top teams get bar gift certificates. Plus there are chances to win free pints (or gift-certificate equivalents) for answering five bonus questions throughout the evening. We also have bizarre prizes courtesy of our weekly Bonus Email Question. Finally, your team can revel in the eternal glory of having your photo posted on this here website.
Is the quiz hard?
In general, the quiz starts off easy and progresses in difficulty as the night goes on. Also, the quiz is set up to reward the most versatile teams. Most folks over 35 will be stumped on questions about the Xbox 360, while most folks under 35 know little about the Reagan years. And just about everyone is stumped when we throw in a round on country music.
To get a feel for our questions check out a sample round here.
What's the quiz format like?
The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.
Rounds 1, 4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from "Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make You Too Uncomfortable" to "TV Shows Your Parents Watch." Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.
One round can be jokered, doubling your points for that round only (yes, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.
See you on Monday.

To use an SSL-based connection service over TCP/IP, you generate a public/private key pair using the Key Tool utility (imqkeytool). This utility embeds the public key in a self-signed certificate that is passed to any client requesting a connection to the broker, and the client uses the certificate to set up an encrypted connection. This section describes how to set up an SSL-based service using such self-signed certificates.
For a stronger level of authentication, you can use signed certificates verified by a certification authority. The use of signed certificates involves some additional steps beyond those needed for self-signed certificates: you must first perform the procedures described in this section and then perform the additional steps in Using Signed Certificates.
Message Queue's support for SSL with self-signed certificates is oriented toward securing on-the-wire data, on the assumption that the client is communicating with a known and trusted server. Configuring SSL with self-signed certificates requires configuration on both the broker and client:
Setting Up an SSL-Based Connection Service Using Self-Signed Certificates
Configuring and Running an SSL-Based Client Using Self-Signed Certificates
The following sequence of procedures are needed to set up an SSL-based connection service for using self-signed certificates:
Starting with release 4.0, the default value for the client connection factory property imqSSLIsHostTrusted is false. If your application depends on the prior default value of true, you need to reconfigure and to set the property explicitly to true. In particular, old or new clients using self-signed certificates should set this property to true; for example:java -DimqConnectionType=TLS -DimqSSLIsHostTrusted=true MyApp
The administration tool imqcmd is also affected by this change. In addition to using the –secure option to specify that it uses a SSL-based admin connection service, the imqSSLIsHostTrusted should be set to true when connecting to a broker configured with a self-signed certificate. You can do this as follows:imqcmd list svc -secure -DimqSSLIsHostTrusted=true
Alternatively, you can import the broker's self-signed certificate into the client runtime trust store. Use the procedure in To Install a Signed Certificate.
Generate a self-signed certificate.
Enable the desired SSL-based connection services in the broker. These can include the ssljms, ssladmin, or cluster connection services.
Start the broker.
Run the Key Tool utility (imqkeytool) to generate a self-signed certificate for the broker. (On Solaris and Linux operating systems, you may need to run the utility as the root user in order to have permission to create the keystore file.) The same certificate can be used for all SSL-based connection services (ssljms, ssladmin, cluster connection services, and the ssljmxrmi connector).
Enter the following at the command prompt:
imqkeytool -broker
The Key Tool utility prompts you for a key store password:
At the prompt type a keystore password.
The Keystore utility prompts you for identifying information from which to construct an X.500 distinguished name. The following table shows the prompts and the values to be provided for each. Values are case-insensitive and can include spaces.
X.500 Attribute
What is your first and last name?
commonName (CN)
Fully qualified name of server running the broker
What is the name of your organizational unit?
organizationalUnit (OU)
Name of department or division
What is the name of your organization?
organizationName (ON)
Name of larger organization, such as a company or government entity
Acme Widgets, Inc.
What is the name of your city or locality?
localityName (L)
Name of city or locality
San Francisco
What is the name of your state or province?
stateName (ST)
Full (unabbreviated) name of state or province
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
country (C)
Standard two-letter country code
The Key Tool utility displays the information you entered for confirmation. For example,
Is CN=mqserver.sun.com, OU=purchasing, ON=Acme Widgets, Inc., L=San Francisco, ST=California, C=US correct?
Accept the current values and proceed by typing yes.
To reenter values, accept the default or enter no. After you confirm, the utility pauses while it generates a key pair.
The utility asks for a password to lock the key pair (key password).
Press return.
This will set the same password for both the key password and the keystore password.
Be sure to remember the password you specify. You must provide this password when you start the broker, to allow the broker to open the keystore file. You can store the keystore password in a password file (see Password Files).
The Key Tool utility generates a self-signed certificate and places it in Message Queue's keystore file. The keystore file is located in a directory whose location depends upon the operating system platform, as shown in Appendix A, Platform-Specific Locations of Message Queue Data.
The following are the configurable properties for the Message Queue keystore for SSL-based connection services:
Path to directory containing keystore file (see Appendix A, Platform-Specific Locations of Message Queue Data for default value)
In some circumstances, you may need to regenerate a key pair in order to solve certain problems: for example, if you forget the key store password or if the SSL-based service fails to initialize when you start a broker and you get the exception:
java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Cannot recover key
(This exception may result if you provided a key password different from the keystore password when you generated the self-signed certificate.)
Remove the broker's keystore file.
The file is located as shown in Appendix A, Platform-Specific Locations of Message Queue Data.
Run imqkeytool again.
The command will generate a new key pair, as described above.
To enable an SSL-based connection service in the broker, you need to add the corresponding service or services to the imq.service.activelist property.
Open the broker's instance configuration file.
The instance configuration file is located in a directory identified by the name of the broker instance (instanceName) with which the configuration file is associated (see Appendix A, Platform-Specific Locations of Message Queue Data):
Add an entry (if one does not already exist) for the imq.service.activelist property and include the desired SSL-based service(s) in the list.
By default, the property includes the jms and admin connection services. Add the SSL-based service or services you wish to activate (ssljms, ssladmin, or both):
The SSL-based cluster connection service is enabled using the imq.cluster.transport property rather than the imq.service.activelist property (see Cluster Connection Service Properties). To enable SSL for RMI-based JMX connectors, see SSL-Based JMX Connections.
Save and close the instance configuration file.
Start the broker, providing the key store password.
When you start a broker or client with SSL, you may notice a sharp increase in CPU usage for a few seconds. This is because the JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extension) method java.security.SecureRandom, which Message Queue uses to generate random numbers, takes a significant amount of time to create the initial random number seed. Once the seed is created, the CPU usage level will drop to normal.
Start the broker, providing the keystore password.
Put the keystore password in a password file, as described in Password Files and set the imq.passfile.enabled property to true. You can now do one of the following:
Pass the location of the password file to the imqbrokerd command:
imqbrokerd -passfile /passfileDirectory/passfileName
Start the broker without the -passfile option, but specify the location of the password file using the following two broker configuration properties:
If you are not using a password file, enter the keystore password at the prompt.
You are prompted for the keystore passwrd.
The procedure for configuring a client to use an SSL-based connection service differs depending on whether it is an application client (using the ssljms connection service) or a Message Queue administrative client such as imqcmd (using the ssladmin connection service.)
For application clients, you must make sure the client has the following .jar files specified in its CLASSPATH variable:
Once the CLASSPATH files are properly specified, one way to start the client and connect to the broker's ssljms connection service is by entering a command like the following:
java -DimqConnectionType=TLS clientAppName
This tells the connection to use an SSL-based connection service.
For administrative clients, you can establish a secure connection by including the -secure option when you invoke the imqcmd command: for example,
imqcmd list svc -b hostName:portNumber -u userName -secure
where userName is a valid ADMIN entry in the Message Queue user repository. The command will prompt you for the password.
Listing the connection services is a way to verify that the ssladmin service is running and that you can successfully make a secure administrative connection, as shown in Example 9–6.

After starting the 2010 season with a tie against FC Dallas, the Houston Dynamo have been consistently inconsistent. They alternated between wins and losses for their next six games. The good news for the Dynamo is that after playing poorly and losing their last match against FC Dallas, the team is due for a victory.
"I guess we're due for a good game if we continue on this rollercoaster ride," joked Dynamo goalkeeper Pat Onstad. "I think we're still getting over [the] disappointment of [losing to Dallas]. It's still a game we felt let slip away from us. Most importantly against Chivas, [we need to make] sure we have a good performance."
Assuming Onstad starts, the Canadian goalkeeper will become the oldest player in MLS history to play in an MLS match, passing current Toronto FC coach Preki.
The Dynamo will be without defender Eddie Robinson, who suffered a knee injury during Wednesday night's match against Dallas. However, midfielder Richard Mulrooney got some minutes for the first time since suffering an injury against the Galaxy earlier in the season. As a result, coach Dominic Kinnear has the option of choosing to start Mulrooney at right back and move Andrew Hainault to central defense, or the more likely option of having Ryan Cochrane replace Robinson.
"I've been with Ryan since 2004, so it's not an issue for me at all," Onstad said. "For Bobby [Boswell] and Ryan it is probably a bigger issue to try to work out their partnership. Outside of the first 30 seconds [against Dallas], I think they looked sharp together."
In addition to Mulrooney, Dynamo forward Brian Ching should be available as an option up top for the first time since the forward's injury about a month ago. While it seems unlikely that Ching will start, his return to health gives the Dynamo some much-needed firepower off the bench.
Having that weaponry may be necessary as Houston expects to see a much different Chivas side than the one they beat 3-0 earlier in the season. Chivas is fresh off a dominant 4-0 win over the New England Revolution on Wednesday night.
"It's going to be a tough game, especially with the way they played us last time," said midfielder Corey Ashe. "I am sure they are going to want some type of revenge. So we're going to have to go out there and play some good soccer to try and get a result."

The first 20 years of Battery Energy Drink have been one great ride. It has laid a solid foundation for the brand, something special and concrete to build on.
The story begins in Finland, during the mid-90s. Energy drinks were a rapidly growing category, and this business opportunity was also noticed by Sinebrychoff. The brand concept reflects the fact that Battery Energy Drink's country of origin, Finland, is widely known for high-tech, functional and practical products. At the same time, various recipes for the actual liquid were developed, tested, re-developed and tested again. It was important to develop a product that would be both great tasting and credible in functionality. Fortunately, the product development team managed to find the perfect solution very quickly. After all, who could be more skilled to develop an energy drink than a Finn: In Finland the winters are all dark but you still need to stay awake, and in the summer it is all light and you want to stay awake.
Battery Energy Drink was launched in the beginning of 1997, as the very first energy drink in the Finnish market. The concept was immediately understood by customers and consumers, thus providing a favorable start for the brand. One key success factor was, and has been ever since, the organization's motivation and drive to make things happen: Battery Energy Drink was on the agenda for everyone, and everyone saw the great potential in it. Good experiences from Finland as well as the universally understandable concept gave Sinebrychoff the confidence to start the export operations of Battery Energy Drink. By the turn of the millennium, Battery Energy Drink was available in several countries. 20 years after the launch, there were already several countries on the Battery Energy Drink map, each with their own characteristics and fascinating stories.

Justin Bieber is facing problems previously only lamented by Right Said Fred: He's too sexy, this time for the country of Oman.
The boy wonder was forced to cancel his concert in the country. Sources debated as to whether or not Bieber's sultry dancing moves, smoldering brown eyes and shirtless show vignettes were to blame -- or his recent bouts of bad behavior. "Many people here were horrified by what they had heard about Bieber," a source said. "People didn't want him coming to Oman. He was called a reprobate and words were used like debauchery and Haraam, which in Islam means a sinful act that displeases God."
The source added, "In Islamic countries you can't run around with your shirt off."
"Alive Entertainment regrets to announce that the Justin Bieber in Oman show will no longer take place," the promoter said in a statement. Thankfully for Bieber's Middle Eastern fans, he replaced the canceled date with an additional May 5 show in Dubai.
The additional Dubai date may also just be a smart business move for Biebs. It's rumored that in Middle Eastern countries outside of Dubai, his ticket sales were less than stellar.
In any case, we're willing to believe that Bieber was just too sexy for his shirt ... so sexy, it hurts.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College men's basketball program and head coach Terry Sellers announced the signing of Trey Archambeau Tuesday.
Archambeau, a 6-foot-7 forward, comes to Georgia College from Chattahoochee High School (Johns Creek, Ga.) where he played and started two seasons under head coach Kacey Martin.
"We expect Trey to come in and contribute immediately," said Sellers. "His length and athleticism will help us on the defensive end and on the glass. Trey has the potential to become an outstanding player in the PBC and we are excited to add him to our team."
Trey averaged 18.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, and shot 55 percent from the field this past season.
Chattahoochee went 21-9 this past season and lost in the Region 6 – AAAAAA finals. The Cougars advanced to the 2013 State Tournament. In 2012, Chattahoochee won the Region Championship and advanced to the Elite 8.
The Bobcats battled through the 2012-13 season, a 9-17 year with a 5-14 conference mark. Senior forward Scott Ferguson earned a slot on the All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Third Team. Georgia College finished the season third in the PBC in fewest turnovers per game (11.3) and second in defending the three-point shot (.306). Sellers picked up his 200th PBC win this season, his 20th at the helm of Bobcat basketball.

Ivory Soap" certain (that is, 99.999% sure) that this was ORIGINALLY supposed to read "Wrong WAY in Ronguay." After all, the pun is directly referenced during the episode itself, when the Nephews realize that the "robot-jacked" Ronguay Airlines aircraft is literally heading in the wrong direction. I hardly think that Jymn Magon (by far, the most likely suspect among the trio of writers who labored on "Golden Suns" to unleash this kind of groaner) would go to the trouble of cracking the joke without planning to foreshadow it here as well. Someone along the production line must have slipped up here.
Thankfully, the (IMHO) spelling error is just about the only "uay" in which one can criticize this episode. Though I remember being a bit puzzled by the seeming finality of the ending -- we wouldn't learn about the rest of the Treasure of the Golden Suns until the start of part three -- Scrooge and HD&L's trek to "the tiny country of Ronguay," their search for the "sunken" gold ship, and their battle with Flintheart Glomgold and El Capitan make for some absolute captivating viewing. Adventure, rather than character development, is the main focus here; even so, we get one superb "moment of connection" between the boys and Scrooge and are also witness to the definitive revelation of the depth of El Capitan's obsession (though a few hints dropped during the episode as to the wrinkled one's past identity will not be picked up until future installments). It takes quite a bit of doing to upstage the series' first authentic treasure hunt and the first animated appearance of Glomgold, but El Cap does so. Fittingly, he gets both the final shot and the final words of the ep.
previously discussed some of my feelings as to why the DuckTales Glomgold turned out the way he did. My idea that Flinty has moved from South Africa to Duckburg to keep closer tabs on Scrooge certainly isn't challenged by Glomgold's first few seconds on screen, in which he's seen watching the doings at Scrooge's candy factory on TV and perusing a massive mainframe that (I guess) keeps up-to-date stats on how his fortune compares to Scrooge's. Imagine how much more easily Flinty could do this today with the help of the Internet. The slightly goofy office nerds who "help" Glomgold in this scene are never seen again, more's the pity; at least one of them (my pick would have been the phone-toting guy with the overbite) should have served as Flinty's laugh-grabbing "bump machine" for the remainder of the series. As it was, we had to wait until the final season's "Attack of the Metal Mites" for a guest-starring Dijon to fill a somewhat similar role.
The Money Champ," Glomgold couches his initial challenge to Scrooge (which, we are easily led to believe, is not the first such ultimatum) in the form of a money-making contest. Flinty's approach to the duel, however, is far more "John D. Rockerduck-ian" than it has ever been before (to those viewers who had not read Don Rosa's "Son of the Sun" earlier in 1987, that is). Glomgold's relatively modest use of shrinking juice on Scrooge's money pile in "The Money Champ" pales in comparison to what the DT Flinty will stoop to in order to get what he wants. Joe Torcivia once described the DT Glomgold as "a sort of Anti-Scrooge," a description which fits both Flinty's Scottish attire and accent and his flexible morals.
GeoX, I would argue that it's at least possible that the "insanely idiotic" code that the boys decipher could really, truly be as simple as this. There were more sophisticated ciphers available in the 16th century, when the ship was presumably built, but those other methods weren't much more complicated than the simple letter-number substitution used here. Besides, if a person didn't know that "Gannaw Ondat" had to be a made-up name because it was carved on a ship originating in Spain, then he or she would glance at the craft and walk away without a clue that it was meant to be a message of some kind. When HD&L do their "play dumb" routine as a ploy to convince Scrooge to let them come with him, they do so without evincing any fear whatsoever that Scrooge will be able to figure out the mystery by himself. I think they're at least partially justified in doing so.
my discussion of "Don't Give Up the Ship." Judging by the boys' initial attitude towards Scrooge, I found it rather tough to believe that this version of Scrooge, Donald, and HD&L had gone on very many adventures together. Scrooge's comment here seems to bear this observation out. It also suggests that the ensuing adventure in Ronguay will further cement the relationship between the "old sourdough" and the young ducklings, to the extent that Scrooge will never again seriously question the boys' right to accompany him on globe-trotting trips. This is correct, up to a point; the boys, after all, will have to sneak a ride aboard Launchpad's copter in order to share in the Antarctic adventure of "Cold Duck" and the subsequent trip to the Valley of the Golden Suns. But the aforementioned "moment of connection" that the Ducks will share during the low point of their Ronguayian trek will have serious reverberations...
Gwumpki's homeland of Blatismorkia in Quack Pack, but certainly more than sufficient to elicit a few head-scratching "Huh?" moments. For example, we've seen ramshackle, livestock-filled vehicles like the "usually non-stop" Ronguay Airlines plane in other "Third World" contexts, but who the heck decreed that an old-fashioned, hand-cranked speaker phone should be placed in the cockpit? What could that thing possibly be connected to?
Sam Peckinpah Moment" -- I call it such because one of the director's less successful (and more underfunded) movies was once criticized for including the same band of Mexican peasants in literally every crowd scene -- as the crowds of Ronguayians frantically leaving the country to avoid the "Monsapis" include a couple of folks who evidently decided to double their un-pleasure. Note the stork with the serape and big sombrero, the mustachioed dogface with the green shirt and blue hat, and the bird-woman with the flower in her ear in these two completely separate scenes. (To make matters worse, the first group is the one that tosses the Ducks out of the plane and then takes off, while the second group appears after the plane has departed.)
Greg commented that the adventure focused on Scrooge to the extent of making HD&L look weak. In the sense that Scrooge did most of the actual work and faced most of the actual perils, he's correct. However, I think that the writers took this approach (if it was, in fact, even taken consciously) to introduce "the adventurous Scrooge" to a TV-watching audience that may never have seen that aspect of the character up to now. The Nephews, after all, were in plenty of danger throughout "Don't Give Up the Ship," so their "quick, feisty, cunning, sharp, resourceful, etc." bona fides had already been highlighted. Unless you came to the show already familiar with Scrooge's comic-book adventures, "Ship" didn't tell you very much about Scrooge the derring-doer. Now, while taming bucking llamas, escaping quicksand (how did Scrooge get that box of scuba supplies open while buried in sand, I wonder?), and protecting the boys from the rain with the "Malaysian umbrella," Scrooge gets a chance to show his mettle and, as Geo points out, reveal some of his past exploits in a very Barksian manner.
The Recluse of McDuck Manor," but certainly along those lines. The possibility that Scrooge's adventurous chops have not been tested in the recent past lends at least some degree of credibility to what would otherwise be a rather problematic scene, namely, the disappointed, rain-soaked Scrooge's declaration that "I'm finished." A long-time comics fan would probably be taken aback by what would seem to be Scrooge's entirely too abrupt decision to abandon the "hopeless" search for the treasure ship. Seen in the context of the series, however, this scene is extremely effective, not least because it demonstrates that Scrooge and HD&L can and will function effectively in the future as a mutually supportive team.
(GeoX) [T]here are three clear Barks call-outs [in the episode]: the ship stranded in the desert recalls "The Seven Cities of Cibola"; [El Capitan], as he's taking Scrooge's gold captain's hat, refers to it as a "golden helmet;" and then at the end... Glomgold has to eat his hat (okay, so it was Scrooge's hat that he ate in "The Money Champ," but still).
I think that there's a case to be made for all of these references being intentional, but I'm most certain about the connection between the treasure ship and Captain Ulloa's "desert-ed" ship in "Seven Cities of Cibola." For one thing, there's that pesky Celestial Arts connection to consider: "Cibola" was reprinted in that volume. For another, the visuals are just too similar, though the treasure ship appears to be in surprisingly good shape for a wreck that has been alternately baked and inundated by water for X hundred years.
(Greg) So now Flint throws the dynamite down the hill as he want to bury Scrooge good... El Captain tells him to forget him because it's all about the gold see... Flint wants to be [better] safe than sorry; but El Captain doesn't want to wait as Flint and El Capitan turn around and they are SHOCKED and APPALLED (in that order) as their jackass is EATING THE MAP on the rock! Wait a minute?! Wasn't it in the pouch?! That's logic break #3 for the episode.

'To Rome With Love' -- 2 stars
R; 1:52 running time If it's a zinger capped by the phrase "leper colony," if there's a hotel room being broken into by house detectives, if it's Penelope Cruz spilling out of an outfit borrowed from Mira Sorvino in "Mighty Aphrodite," then it's time for the new Woody Allen film. His latest overseas postcard, "To Rome With Love," lacks the clean lines and payoffs of"Midnight in Paris." On the other hand, it's not painful the way"Whatever Works" was, or a dullard in the "Cassandra's Dream" vein. What can we learn from this? Allen probably makes too many movies. This one's OK. He'll make more. -- Michael PhillipsRead the full "To Rome With Love" movie review

By DAVID GINSBURG
AP Sports Writer
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ricky Williams is retiring from the NFL.
This time, however, it appears to be for good.
The 34-year-old Williams told the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday that he won't be back to fulfill the second year of a contract he signed in August. Playing as a backup to Ray Rice this year, Williams ran for 444 yards and scored two touchdowns.
He also became the 26th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 yards rushing, reaching the plateau in the season finale at Cincinnati.
Williams retired previously before the 2004 season when facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy. He returned in 2005, then left to spend the 2006 season with Toronto of the Canadian Football League.
On his Twitter account, Williams said he intends to "do something really special" in the next phase of his life.
He told the University of Texas, where he won the Heisman Trophy, "I have to thank coach (John) Harbaugh and the Ravens organization for the opportunity they gave me this year. I had so much fun and really appreciated the chance to finish on such a great note."
After his college career at Texas, Williams broke into the NFL in 1999 with the New Orleans Saints. Mike Ditka, then coach of the Saints, traded all the team's draft and first- and third-round picks in 2000 to pick Williams fifth overall.
Williams spent only three years with New Orleans, but during over 11 years in the league he had five 1,000-yard rushing seasons and finished with 10,009 yards on the ground.
Williams led the NFL in 2002 with 1,853 yards rushing for the Miami Dolphins and received his lone Pro Bowl invitation that season. He backed that up with 1,372 yards in 2003, giving him what remains the two most productive rushing seasons in Dolphins history.
Although Williams' last start was in 2009, he enjoyed coming off the bench for the Ravens.
"It's been interesting," he said in November. "It's been an adjustment for me, but I love the organization and I love my teammates so I'm having a good time. I'm enjoying myself. Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice."
Baltimore went 12-4 this season and lost to New England in the AFC championship game.
During that November interview, Williams was asked whether playing as a backup could possibly extend his career.
"At this point, my focus is just to finish my career strong," he said. "I'm not even thinking two or three years down the line. But one positive about not carrying the ball is my body does feel good."
Williams scored 73 touchdowns over his career, all but eight of them on the ground.
"The NFL has been an amazing page in this chapter of my life," Williams said through UT. "I pray that all successive adventures offer me the same potential for growth, success and most importantly fun. I want to thank all my fans, teammates, coaches and supporters for the strength they've given me to overcome so much."

Vaccine best bet to fight off the flu
Wash your hands. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Keep your hands away from your eyes, mouth and nose.
The same things your mother told you as a child are still critical today as the nation experiences what is expected to be its worst flu season in a decade.
And it's early, too. The flu season just got under way two months ago and can run as late as April or early
That's precisely what has health experts on edge – that and the fact that the traditional flu season is being supplemented by the arrival of a new kind of intestinal bug and the worst outbreak of whooping cough in more than 50 years.
Overall, based on the week ending Dec. 29, all but seven states and the District of Columbia were experiencing a "widespread" outbreak of the flu, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New Hampshire wasn't among the exceptions.
How bad is it? Consider:
• Boston Mayor Thomas Menino declared a public health emergency Wednesday in response to 700 confirmed cases of the flu – 10 times more than all of last year – along with four flu-related deaths.
On Thursday, he followed that up with 45,000 automated calls to Boston residents, urging them to get a flu vaccine if they hadn't already done so. Across Massachusetts, 18 deaths have been attributed to the flu.
• Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown, Pa., has erected a heated tent outside the hospital to treat those patients with mild symptoms and keep them isolated from the more serious cases inside. The hospital has been treating 80-100 people suffering from flu-like symptoms a day. So far, 22 flu-related deaths have been recorded statewide.
• And Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago has been treating so many patients with the flu – the most in at least a dozen years, officials say – that the hospital has been placed on "bypass." That means ambulances transporting patients in stable condition are being directed to nearby hospitals because of the high volume of flu patients.
In New Hampshire, 13 deaths were attributed to the flu in December, considerably more than in recent years. While none of the deaths has involved children, Dr. Jose Montero, the state's public health director, warned the virus can spread easily among schools and day care centers.
"The previous two years were really mild seasons. We only saw four or five per month, so seeing 13 is a huge jump," he said.
So what can Greater Nashua residents do to protect themselves during this nasty flu season?
First and foremost, get vaccinated if you haven't already done so, according to the CDC. Contact your doctor, your local public health department or an area pharmacy that offers that service.
You should also avoid close contact with people who are sick – and vice versa. If you are coming down with flu-like symptoms, stay away from work, school or other public places.
As we mentioned earlier, cover your mouth with your sleeve when you cough or sneeze, so that you can prevent the spread of germs to others. And avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose in case you touch something that has been contaminated.
Finally, wash your hands frequently – long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" twice is a common rule – with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer.
Apparently, your mom knew what she was talking about.

I just started learning at codecademy.com
I wrote this code and wanted to post this half ass game on my website that is with HTML and CSS
as you can see the code requires a console to show the console.logs
how do I get this onto my webpage so people can see my game?
confirm("Are you ready to start playing?")
var age = prompt("What's your age?");
if (age < 18) {
console.log("You are allowed to play but I will take no responsibility.");
else {
console.log("Have fun with the game!");
console.log("Snow White and Batman were hanging out at the bus stop, waiting to go to the shops. There was a sale on and both needed some new threads. You've never really liked Batman. You walk up to him.");
console.log("Batman glares at you.");

how do I get this onto my webpage so people can see my game?
There's no right answer for this, but one way you could do it is have an HTML element that you can change the text of with JavaScript.
HTML code:

JavaScript code:
// grab the HTML element
var element = document.getElementById('info');
// then use the 'element' and its '.textContent' getter method to change your element's text
element.textContent = 'Batman glares at you.';

Spreading the love of llamas, from parks to Peru
Some might look at a llama and see a future rug. George Caldwell sees the long-lashed, dewy eyes of the gods.
"Llamas really are at a higher level of consciousness," he said. "They're a symbol of love. All they do is spread energy and goodwill. ... We call them the mystics of the Andes."
Caldwell, a former trucking company owner from Saratoga, is on a mission to share the joy of llamas with people in the Bay Area and beyond. Several times a month, he loads his van with two or three llamas from his herd of 35 and drives from his home in Sonora (Tuolumne County) to Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park, the Oakland hills, nursing homes and schools in hopes of converting others to llama love.
Sometimes he just leads the llamas into the park and lets the public come to him, not a difficult task because most people seem to find the placid, droopy-eyed beasts irresistible. He gives people carrots and alfalfa pellets to feed the llamas, and lets people brush the llamas' silken tresses.
Other outings are more organized. His most regular gig is at Redwood Regional Park in Oakland, where he leads short hikes with the llamas through the redwood trees. The llamas seem happy to comply, as long as there's a steady stream of treats.
But his most ambitious goal as llama ambassador is in Peru, where he wants to re-introduce the animal that was once synonymous with Andean culture. He's been on llama missions to Peru five times, and plans more.
"In Peru, you hardly even see llamas any more," he said. "It's a heartbreak."
For thousands of years, people who lived in the Andes employed llamas to transport metal, fruit and other goods from the mountains to the coast to the jungles and back. Llamas were also prized for their fur, which makes strong rugs, blankets, sweaters and other items.
Llamas were such an integral part of the culture they took on a spiritual role. Some in the Andes called them "speechless brothers," noting that they appear more intelligent and emotionally complex than other animals.
Llamas do have a certain dignity. With their upright posture and tendency to stare directly into a visitor's eyes, they seem almost on the brink of speaking.
Their only aggressive trait is spitting, which they do rarely and usually only at other llamas. They don't kick, bite or head-butt.
Caldwell is not alone in his llama passion. Dozens of people around Northern California keep llamas, even though llamas aren't quite pets - few will curl up on your lap - yet they're not the most useful of livestock, either.
"Me and my husband emptied our 401(k), all our savings, and bought llamas," said Mary Adams, who has 37 llamas at her ranch in Grass Valley (Nevada County). "We're llama-holics. There's just something very magical about them. We love them."
Some people who own llamas enter them in shows. Other people collect their fur and sell it to rug companies, although the income does not come close to covering the costs - namely, hay - of keeping a llama. Other people just commune with their llamas.
"They're wise souls," said Lora Crawford, who keeps 24 llamas at her ranch in Turlock. "They're gentle, intelligent, easy to train. At first I was going to raise dogs or horses, but then I saw a llama and fell in love."
Caldwell got interested in llamas in the early 1980s after reading an article in his local paper. He and his wife were immediately fascinated with the long-lashed creatures, and soon had a herd of 80. Now he's down to 35, but the love has not waned.

Golden Gate Bridge payment processing backlog
The Golden Gate Bridge's new electronic toll system has been tripped up by an old-fashioned snafu that slapped about 400 drivers with late fees even though they paid on time.
The system, which went into operation March 27, was the first in the state to do away with human toll takers. While 85 percent of trips across the bridge are paid via FasTrak, drivers without the transponders get their license plates scanned, with an invoice mailed to the car's registered address.
The invoice can be paid online, over the phone or by mail.
The trouble cropped up when the toll invoice processing center was overwhelmed by mailed payments from the drivers, said bridge spokeswoman Mary Currie - so much so that the payments languished unprocessed past their due dates.
The result: another automatic mailing to the drivers, alerting them to a late fee of $25 on top of the original $6 toll.
"The volume of checks ... overwhelmed the customer payment center," Currie said. "They weren't able to keep up. And in the cases where checks were literally backing up on desks, those invoices were coming up in the system as not paid, so after 21 days, the system issued a toll violation."
Processing delay
Between March 27 and the end of May, 392,000 invoices were mailed out. While most of the returned payments were processed, Currie said, about 400 were affected by the delay.
And so, several weeks after the smooth introduction of the toll system, drivers began complaining - online or over the phone - about undeserved late fees.
That led to another problem: the bridge's website was overwhelmed and out of service for four to five days last week, and there were not enough customer service representatives to handle phone calls.
Meanwhile, some drivers say they didn't get a toll bill and worry they'll be hit with a late fee as a result.
Drivers can pay online up to 30 days before a bridge trip, or two days afterward. After that, they get a bill.
"It said it would take two to four days to generate the invoice," said Roger Walters, 60, of Medford, Ore., who has been waiting for a bill since he drove through San Francisco in early May.
"I don't have it," he said. "None of my friends who crossed the bridge have it. Have we already been moved to the next stage of sending a letter saying we owe $25 more?"
Danny Strever, 63, of Ukiah said he never got an initial invoice - but did get a late fee notice. He says he's "absolutely adamant and strict" about checking his mail.
Currie said it's possible the invoices arrived but were thrown away. The envelopes, she said, are plain white and black and only say "Pay-By-Plate" without any mention of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Envelope design
In an effort to avoid confusion, Currie said, the toll center - which is operated by Xerox - has begun stamping the envelopes with the words "Golden Gate Bridge Toll Invoice" in orange, and plans to design a new envelope.
To deal with the bill backlog, the toll processing center hired 10 temporary night-shift workers.
The website "still has some trouble" and occasionally freezes when too many people use it, Currie said.
Currie encouraged anyone who received a late fee notice in error to contact the toll center to have the fee waived.
Drivers should call (877) 229-8655 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday or 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday - though Currie warned that Mondays are the busiest day.
What's not working
Issue: The Golden Gate Bridge's new electronic toll system was overwhelmed by the volume of mail from people who had been billed and mistakenly sent out notices for late fees to drivers who had already paid.
What's been done: Ten workers were hired to handle the backlog, and envelopes are being redesigned to look less like junk mail.
Who's responsible: Steve Heminger, executive director of Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Denis Mulligan, Golden Gate Bridge general manager. email@example.com.

A guide to the evolutionist conspiracy

A guide to the evolutionist conspiracy -
A guide to the evolutionist conspiracy
Based on the research of Bob Riggins, Science Academy of South Texas
A list of groups in league with the anti-morality evilutionist conspiracy.
The following groups of people
. Do not read anything they write, or use any device that they have invented.
(In no particular order: )
Even before Darwin, it was geologists who began to claim that the Earth is older than 6004 years. And modern geology stubbornly refuses to yield up its hidden proof of a universal flood, or the recent and coeval existence of all creatures, living and extinct.
Invented all sorts of laws, like decay rates of isotopes, the non-decaying speed of light, the refraction of light to produce rainbows, etc., all of which disagree with the the Book of Genesis. And to add insult to injury, physicists can't seem to see the truth that evolution violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics --a fact that every good creationist knows, even without a degree in physics!
Defenders of the
Scientific Method
and peer review
Every heard of creation scientists engaging in peer review? Or a creation scientist being celebrated for proving another creation scientist wrong? Of course not - REAL science is based on finding the facts in the bible and then looking for evidence to back it up, not finding evidence and then coming to a conclusion. Yet the enemies of morality still claim that the "scientific method" is a legitimate lifestyle choice.
The Nobel Prize Committee
...Is completely blind to the enlightenment brought to the world by creation scientists. Is that because creation science would overturn so many preconceived notions of the scientific establishment, with its deeply-rooted prejudice against all things Christian?
I would like to know, quite seriously, when the last time was that ANY biblical-literalist-creationist won a Nobel prize in ANY field. Also, has anyone ever won for any work that patently supports a major creationist principle? Clearly the Nobel Prize Commitee has a liberal bias!
Police who won't arrest evil-utionists
Everyone knows that belief in evolution destroys their faith in the Bible, so naturally they have no moral guide and no fear of eternal damnation, and since they think we came from monkeys, they see ourselves as animals with no eternal souls. So, prisons should be filled with atheists. But they aren't - obviously the police are in on the conspiracy.
People belive in evolution in Europe, and we all know how that entire continent has collapsed into a barbarism that makes the fall of Rome look like peanuts.
Geophysicists and their Plate Tectonics
South America and Africa match like perfect puzzle pieces because God thought they looked prettier like that. This whole continents moving a few inches every year more millions of years denies the Biblican truth that the world is 6004 years old.
Propagandists of Original Thought
Creationism is about believing without question a particular interpretation of scripture. Indeed, in a belief system of that nature, any questioning or original thought about the revealed knowledge is not only incorrect, it is sinful. (In the anti-American world of science, on the other hand, questioning and testing of accepted or authoritative beliefs is the method--it's what you're supposed to do. No wonder scientists are known to cook and eat fetuses they pick up drive-through at Planned Parenthood clinics.)
Mathematics teachers
and other
believers in Pi
In the Bible Pi is a neat 3 (reflecting the trinity, no doubt) while math teachers believe it is an ugly, messy 3.14159. Despite some legal attempts in some state legislatures to return it to the divine purity of 3, pi has hardened its heart and refused to conform to the biblically prescribed norm.
Believers in Micro-organisms
Mircoscoptic creatures are never mentioned in the Bible at all, so we are forced to do a lot of rewriting of Genesis to account for their day of creation, and their presence or absence on the Ark.
Believers in the Ice Ages
They have to have occurred since the Flood, since the surface of the Earth was reworked by the Flood (to create, for instance, the Grand Canyon practically overnight), which would have messed up all those marks of glaciers on the landscape. That means
mile-thick ice sheets
had to advance and retreat again and again, across half the Northern Hemisphere, with the speed of freight trains, but without this miracle being recorded in the Bible.
I say it's easier just to deny that Ice Ages ever happened.
Meterologists and weathermen
The Bible clearly states that the sky is a solid dome, a "firmament," which was firm enough to separate waters above it from those below on the Earth. By Noah's time it was still solid enough to have windows in it that had to be opened to let the rain through. I think that false-Christians that spite on God's face by calling it "poetic metaphor" have given in to the godless materialists! The Bible really is literal, in the true sense of the word. The sky was a hard firmament with windows in it-and anybody who says different is a mealy-mouthed evolution-sympathizer.
Peleontologists and anyone who Digs up
First of all, extinct creatures don't exist in our perfect Creation, since their very extinction implies that they were not so perfect. And there are so darn many of them, of so many different kinds. Here are some creation-scientific explanations of what fossils are and how they got there:
Dinosaurs were too big to go on the Ark
, so they got buried in the mud of the Flood.
Extinct creatures were on the Ark
. They died out later.
o Fossils never were animals. They're a hoax by Satan and/or materialistic science.
o Fossils never were animals. They're a hoax by God to test your faith.
Believers in DNA
How convientent that this "science" would turn up and confirm predictions of relationships made by evolutionary theory perfectly. And what a dirty trick to have human DNA fit right into the distribution, right next door to the chimps'! Obviously a hoax.
According to believers in DNA, the ultimate blueprint for building entire human beings turns out to be just plain chemicals, with nothing magical or even particularly unusual that sets humans aside from other living things. And those geneticists can even tinker with the stuff, and build new creatures. They can replace defective genes in people, thwarting God's will that people be crippled and die. I'm sure something was put into Leviticus to forbid such ungodliness, we just haven't managed to find and interpret it yet.
False creationist scientists
Old-Earthers and Multiple-Catastrophists have given in to "liberal" (if not to say Satanic) influences. Some years there are multiple Ark-hunting expeditions to Turkey, and often both of them are obstructing the progress of true Bible science.
Best way to tell a real creation scientist from a false one: ask them if they've ever read the Bible all the way through, cover-to-cover. 97% of the time the answer will be no. They're sure every word is literally true, and the divine message of God, but somehow they've never quite found the time to actually read the thing. Are you willing to put your soul in the hands of such people?
who deal with
We know, on good authority (by creationists, whose scientific authority is the Bible, and what could be more authoritative?), that men have one less rib than women, because one of Adam's ribs was removed to mold into Eve. However, we generally become confused upon being asked if that means one less pair of ribs, or just one rib missing from one side. The reason we don't know is because liberal-bias doctors have been hiding this information from us.
People who belive in
In the first place, nothing even remotely like them is even remotely alluded to in either Testament. About the only biblical disease is
and the Bible does not say it was cause by any sort of so called "micro-organism". Egyptian cattle suffered a "murrain"-- with no cause other than a divine curse. Then there are the "emerods" (
) with which
God afflicted some folks he was miffed at
Two solid creation science facts to remember:
o The Devil created viruses.
o Viruses are not in the Bible because they are "imperfect."
But the really disturbing thing about these so-called "viruses" is that they occupy the twilight zone between living and dead, a zone that does not exist in a creation in which creatures were "given life," or have "the breath of life." Can they be alive if they don't move, breathe, eat, excrete, or metabolize at all, and can even be crystallized, like other non-living chemicals? Can they be dead if they can self-replicate (reproduce) using the same basic methods as other living things, parasitize other creatures, and are made of nearly the same proteins and nucleic acids as we are? Sounds like a hoax to me!
People who study Insects
These heathens claim that bugs have so many generations of nasty babies so often that in just a few years they can evolve. Those ugly boll weevils, for instance, develop resistance to pesticides; and those filthy peppered moths in England (Darwin's home--coincidence? I don't think so.) change the shade of their camouflage. Evolutionists want to call those piddlin' changes "evolution"--which just shows that they don't even know what the term means. So we creationists have to tell them that "evolution" means apes popping out human babies. You'd think them evil-utionists'd have that straight by now.
Creationists investigators keep discovering human footprints in the same strata as dinosaur bones or footprints, and the liberal-bias paleontologists keep denying it.
People who belive in Craters
Few things are eviler than scientists that invented all those pesky asteroid craters which are supposedly found all over the planet, throughout all geological strata. The Bible is silent on such devastating impacts as Meteor Crater in Arizona, the Ring Lakes in Quebec, and that biggie that they claim dusted off the dinosaurs and created all my beautiful beachfront property on the Yucatan peninsula. Scientists even clain there was a "Chicxulub event" creating a 170 km crater, which had to have caused worldwide devastation, and thus would have at least been noted in passing by some biblical patriarch or another. In short, those "craters" are typical frauds.
People who Believe in Other Planets
and the
Moon Landing Hoax
Anybody notice that, rather convieniently for the gay-marryers, in the last few years astronomers, have begun to discover other planets around other suns (over 100 supposedly located so far) ? And they even claim that several of those solar systems are at several of the stages of planetary-system evolution hypothesized for the evolution of our own system?
There is not one line in the scientifically accurate Bible which acknowledge that there are other worlds. In fact, the Bible clearly states the the moon is nothing but a "lesser light" hung in the sky. (
Genesis 1:16
) If it was possible to walk on the moon, the bible would say so. Clearly
was a typical waste of tax dollars, the money was obviously sent to pay black women to breed more.
Arrogant Scientists in General
Your average creation scientist has almost an entire year of college, and clearly knows more about paleontology than Bakker or Horner or Currie, knows more about the definition of evolution than Gould or Dawkins, knows more about biology than Dobzhansky or Mayr, knows more about cosmology than Hawking, Kaku, or Witten, and more about human fossils than Johanson or the Leakeys. He knows more true geology than geologists, more physics than physicists, more astronomy than astronomers--and more about everything than atheists like Asimov or Sagan. Scientists deny this fact only out of pure arrogance.
Liberal-bias universities that hand out degrees and credentials to evolutionists
True scientists (creationists) get their science degrees from non-accredited religious institutions rather than accredited schools and universities.
Just how useless are liberal-bias universities? Consider the competition: for fifty bucks and an SASE, and you're a Ph.D., ready and qualified to refute evolution! Meanwhile stupid scientists spend far more time and money on a far inferior education!
Chemists, being somewhat familiar with how elements and molecules combine and recombine non-randomly, haven't risen up as a body to declare the chemical origin or subsequent evolution of life to be a flat-out impossibility. Now why do you suppose that is? Obviosly because they are part of the conspiracy to marry gays and force children to view Janet Jackson's breasts.
That means tree-ring counting. Dendrochronologists, by matching patterns in annual growth rings, claim they can establish a sequence in living, dead, and long-dead trees in certain areas of the world. That can be a very reliable dating technique for, say, a beam used in an ancient shelter. But this archeological specialty is completely useless and unreliable, since in some areas ring sequences extend back through the date of the Flood, showing no evidence of same, and indeed way past the 6004 years ago when God created the world.
Believers in Varves
According to scientists those are annual layers deposited in lake beds. In some places they are clearly distinguishable because of varying colors and compositions of materials deposited in different seasons. They claim it's they can see them form, over a few years, and that they know exactly what causes them and that they do, in fact, represent one year per layer. The problem, of course, is that there are lakes in the world with many times the 6,000 annual varves that could have been laid down since the Creation. That means the entire science is a fraud.
P.S. Annual ice layers in Greenland and elsewhere are also Satanic deceptions.
People who collect Beetles
These bug-pinners claim God have a beetle fixation. They claim there's over 50,000 species of them, but that's a lie because they would not have fit on the ark.
British biologist, J.B.S. Haldane, on being asked what one could conclude as to the nature of God from a study of his creation, Haldane is said to have answered, "An inordinate fondness for beetles." He's burning in hell.
People who belive in the efficacy of Science
Anything created by evilutionists and the scientific method is untrustworthy. Don't trust medical science, computers, etc. etc. Only trust inventions invented by creation scientists, and devices that operate on laws of nature discovered by creation scientists.
Evolutionary biology manages to get it right when you want improved corn yields, or a vaccine ready for this year's flu strain, but these things will fall apart and backfire soon enough, because the only trustworthy way to discover and invent things is creation science.
People with Ambiguous Gender
Although Genesis tells us that God created Man and Woman, there are some unfortunate folks around who are hermaphrodites or have ambiguous genitalia. Hermaphrodites therefore are mass produced by evolutonists to confuse believers.
Anyone who
According to scientists, the human insulin available for diabetics today is made by genetically engineered E. coli bacteria! What does that have to do with evolution? Real human genes were spliced into bacterial DNA using recombinant techniques, so the nasty germs now churn out authentic human insulin. Kind of sounds like the stuff that makes us human and the stuff that makes germs germy is the same kind of stuff, and is almost as interchangeable as tinkertoys. Maybe it shows that we're closely enough related to our own intestinal bacteria that we can stick a bit of human being into them without their minding terribly. Sounds like a fraud! Obviously it is prayer that keep Diabetics alive, not this fraudulent "insulin", which can be banned with no ill effects.
Users of Big Numbers
Millions, billions, trillions... especially as applied to years, light-years, species, etc. God built the universe to a comfortable human scale. Claims of really big stretches of time, are particularily satanic.
Every dictionary I can lay my hands on defines Christian (n.) as "one who professes belief in Jesus as the christ" or words to the same effect. Not a one of them defines Christian as "one who believes in the literal truth of Genesis, especially as regards the creation and flood accounts." (Who would have thought that the ranks of lexicographers had been so infiltrated with atheists and satanists?)
John Paul II
On October 7, 1996, in an address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in Rome, he declared [the Church's] acceptance of evolution as a scientific fact, and noted that there is no war between religion and science: "Consideration of the method used in diverse orders of knowledge allows for the concordance of two points of view which seem irreconcilable. The science of observation describes with ever greater precision the multiple manifestations of life…" SATANIST!
The Bible says
bats are birds
. (
Leviticus 11:13, 11:19
) Lying zoologists claim they are rodents.
Brain surgeons
The New Testement states clearly that the mind is in the heart
. (
Esther 6:6, Proverbs 23:7, Isaiah 10:7, Matt 9:4
) People who claim the brain is used for thinking are plainly and simply anti-biblical.
And Jesus knowing their
said, Wherefore
ye evil
in your hearts
Matthew 9:4
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth
his heart think
so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few
Isaiah 10:7
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now
Haman thought in his heart
, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Esther 6:6
Astronomers and anyone who talks about "stars"
The Book of revelations states that stars are little things which can fall to earth. (
Revelations 1:16, 6:13, 8:10, 9:1, 12:4
) Astronomers made up lies about them being bigger than earth and far away.
Digitized Natural Selection
Computer scientists
claim that, in order to arrive at some good-enough solutions to some practically intractable problems teach a computer to try a bunch of random solutions. Most will be worthless or impractical. Some will work a little better than most others. The best ones are allowed to produce "offspring" with random modifications. Most of these won't be improvements, and many will be worse than the "parents." A few may be slightly better, however, and they will be allowed to reproduce for another "generation." Continue this for enough generations, and the end product will be a decent solution. It probably won't be the theoretical best (a quality which couldn't be determined without solving the original unsolvable problem), but it will be workable.
This is exactly analogous to natural selection, so of course it can't possibly work since random mutations can only be harmful.
Many R & D departments are thus using natural selection to design aircraft! Would you dare fly on one of those?
...in general. They're wrong about everything. Starting at least as far back as Ptolemy, astronomers have continued to describe the heavens in terms that increasingly have nothing to do with Genesis. Things really started to go to hell with Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and their ilk. Nowadays the things astronomers teach are so foreign to the Truth and involve such hard math that they're impossible to understand. I mean, come on-- the Big Bang, the speed of light, "light years," the sizes of stars, billions of years-- it makes my head hurt. You want to know what's in the sky? Read Genesis! Especially stay away from them "professors" who directly mock biblical Truth about the skies.
Animal breeders
People who try create new breeds of animals are attempting to engage in satanic evolutionism. They even claim to have evolved their own breeds, like poodles, for example. The truth is they just captured wild poodles.
Other Cultures
…like those damn Egyptians that didn't notice a world-wide Flood, though they were around at the time and had a liking for writing everything down (they'd write down what people wore to parties, darn it, yet they fail to note a Flood that covered the entire Earth! Same with the Asian Indians, and the Chinese, or any of the other cultures that also possessed written histories, yet failed to note any of the cataclysmic acts of the Judaeo-Christian god.
People who believe that stars can be more than 6000 light-years away
Scientists claim that light from many stars takes more than 6000 years to get from the star to us. That's nonsense, of course, because that star did not exist more than 6000 years ago!
Ancient star-gazers were only a thousand or two years from the date of creation, thus the light from the stars farther away than 1000-2000 light years could not have been seen. That means that all stars are closer to the Earth than 1000 light years, and that measurement techniques such as stellar parallax are just the devil's lies.
Satan's Rapid Deployment Force (SRDF)
Every time that we creationists bring up one of those impossible changes from one created kind to another (macroevolution), the SRDF gets to work and plants in the rocks some f
ke fossils, carefully "aging" them and putting them in the "proper" strata so that paleontologists can find them in a few years. Then they're shoved in our faces as examples of the major transitions that we know to be impossible.
We said a hyena can't change into a whale. The SRDF gets to work and presto! scientists are digging up Ambulocetus , Pakicetus , Prozeuglodon, and a passle of others.
We knew that no lizard ever sprouted wings and feathers, so the SRDF made up those phony Archaeopteryx jobs that were just TOO perfect! I mean, teeth, bony tail, claws on the fingers, along with perfect flight feathers--come on! Since we absolutely wouldn't accept such an obvious fraud, now they're throwing in a bunch of others in various stages of birdness, like Protoavis , Sinornis , Hesperornis, and Ichthyornis .
They claimed we were all fish, then we grew legs and lungs and crawled out on land--what rot! Where are the transitions? Enter the SRDF, and now we've got Eusthenopteron, Panderichtys, Acanthostega, and labyrynthodonts.
And of course the highest priority mission of the SRDF is to "prove" that people are just improved apes (whereas
Genesis 2:7
tells us clearly that we are improved dirt). We keep telling them that there are "missing links" between apes and humans, and they keep finding something to fill whatever gap we point out. After all, isn't Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis) just a little too convenient? Throw in A. ramidus and africanus and then H. habilis and erectus, and it's hard to find much of a gap anymore where a link could be missing.
The Bible so clearly teaches, all of the earth was covered by seawater for 6 months, and lying farmers claim that salt makes soil infertile. Not only are we able to farm in places with no igneous rock today (and thus no real way to cover up any salt-tainted land), but we have records of farming happening pretty soon after the Flood, not the least of which are recorded in Genesis.
People who belive in Lactose Intolerance
Scientists claim that people who can digest cow milk are mutants! They say that people that could handle drinking milk had that much more nutrition available to them, and through the process of natural selection they thrived [and passed on the trait].
People who believe in Evolved Plagues and Pestilences
, or DDT-resistant pests, or the common cold, or antibiotic-resistant superbugs: according to scientists they all evolve fast enough for us to see. They claim that the rapid evolution of these organisms has become an important medical and economic issue. Nonsense. God is sending more plagues because people are becoming more sinful.
People who make calendars
According to
Genesis 1:14
, the lights in the firmament are there "
for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years
." People who make calendars claim that the solar and sidereal years are different. A proper calendar would have a nice clean 700-day year, so we all know when the Sabbath is - yet the calendar makers refuse to print any.
Everybody knows that evolution is the basis and justification for Marxism. Concepts central to evolution, such as natural selection, the importance of adaptation, "the law of the jungle," etc. Are obviously Marxist concepts that have nothing to do with laissez-faire capitalism. Economists don't agree.
Economists say that command economies are unproductive, which spits on
the LORD, who is commissar of all creation
