Check out this awesome flash game I made!
arrow keys to move
Freewebs doesn't allow direct linking of resources.
In other words the link does nothing.
does this work?
does this work?
Indeed. But I have to wonder what the point of the game is.
Its the same as the point of every game! To win!
then let me ask the kris' question in another way… HOW do you win it?
EDIT as i was posting this, i left the game on, and after posting i went in game, and went straight to the wall on the right. I won before i touched it
I think I won it by getting hurt then moving next to the block.
i won!! yay!!
this game is weird
That game sorta… sux.
And I won.
Has anyone figured out how to win yet?
The secret to winning is to avoid the black square. GASP!
Not entirely lol but the black square is harmful.
I just moved around for a minute and then won.
Boring, pointless game.
Did you rate "You Have to Burn the Rope" 5 stars?
No. 4.
''You Have To Burn The Rope'' is better than that crap.
Even though YHTBTR is still some funny stuff.
The song at the end is pure gold.

well i did not use any traditional filters i think its i side effect of the HDR but i can try softening it up
Very very awesome shot!!!!

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has told his company's shareholders in an open letter that he has been diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer.
The 81-year-old CEO of Berkshire Hathaway said his condition is "not remotely life-threatening" or debilitating. He said he and his doctors have decided on a two-month treatment plan that is to begin in mid-July. Buffett said he was diagnosed April 11 and has received tests including a CAT scan, a bone scan and an MRI.
He says he feels great and that his energy level is 100 percent.

Avatar Award issues
Ok so Ive unlocked a few awards but in my avatar marketplace they appear as "!" and i cant wear them. although i can threw xbox.com. Thing is this cause my avatar to constantly need to update every time i go to edit it, anyone else have this issue or know a way to fix it?
Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I haven't even put them on through the website and I still get updates every time I enter the avatar market place.
Is there a fix for this?
I have the same problem and it's really annoying to get an update every time... I hope there is a way to fix this...!
i get the same thing, really annoying..
Me too! Is there no fix for this yet? Anyone have a link on how to resolve this?
same thing happened to me, i contacted xbox. and they told me if it is not on marketplace you cannot get that item. now i put the gentlemans attire on my avatar through xbox.com. after 2 or 3 weeks or something, they were there on my xbox. so basically put them on your avatar on xbox.com and after sometime they should be on your xbox. were there was a "!" now there is the clothing item that was spposed to be there. i guess put it on your guy then go to your avatar on your xbox and have it update, again it took me almost a month then it started showing up.
now when you put it on your avatar on xbox.com you should be wearing it when you turn your xbox on. but it'll still be a ! were the award should be. itll update the avatar clothing everytime you edit your avatar, so keep doing that and i guess it forces the avatar clothing on there. i knida gave up on it, but i went to change my clothes from the gentlmans attire to something else i already had, and there it was. there was no more !, so i found all the other awards in the game and they were there with no problem
Never had this problem, have picked up the gentlemans suit, a tshirt or two and bandito sombrero hat. i briefly had an issue as i migrated my account from my sons box to mine, but the system just tolsd me to update my wardrobe and downloaded them fine. no problems for me all itmes available.
Mine worked straight away on Xbox.com..
Waiting to see if it'll transfer automatically to my Xbox

This is somewhat an economics and manufacturing question, so apologies if it's a bit off-topic but I don't know where else to ask.
I have a 17" laptop with 1,920 by 1,080 resolution, which is nice. But some smartphones have the same resolution on a much smaller screen.
By my calculations, if my laptop had the same ppi as the phone, the resolution would be about 7,000 by 3,800.
So why isn't this a normal resolution? 8k resolutions for TV are just being considered -- why aren't we ahead of the curve?
A napkin cost per square inch calculation shows that such a screen would cost several hundred dollars. Pricey, but not unheard-of.
The total pixel count goes up by about 13 times, but the graphics card can shunt out framerates in the hundreds of hertz, so that shouldn't be a problem (for 2D at least).
It seems like this technology should have been on the market years ago. What's the bottleneck?

After updating your plugin today, there is now a strange CSS problem. The Pin-it button and the semi-transparent tint appear way to the right side of the page... actually off the page, rather than over the image. Any ideas?
The URL is: http://diaboliquemagazine.com, however, I had to deactivate the plug-in because's it's very bothersome this way.
Thanks very much.

I'm a hardware and software developer since 1983 or so. Done pretty much the gamut, including electronic hardware design and embedded OS design.I've messed around with lots of programming languages (including hardcore hex-pad machine language). No punch cards. I'm not THAT old...
C/C++ was my main language for years. I became a manager in 1995. At that time, I started doing a lot less "day job" coding, and wanted to keep my tech chops going, so I larned up on Web design (using languages like PHP), and, recently, have returned to the compiled language fold with Mac OS/iOS, via Objective-C and Swift. I'm also learning Android programming, and beefing up on my JS (I have been keeping JS to a minimum).
I am interested in "giving back," as opposed to "getting rich." I make a decent salary, managing a C++ shop, and find coding enjoyable. I spend a lot of my free time writing open-source code in a number of languages. I'd much rather spend my free time tinkering with code than zooming around in a Tesla.
I'm a geek. What can I say? I've done a great deal of world travel, but my favorite vacation of all time was a week at Big Nerd Ranch, learning iOS.

What sources of turbulence exist within the Interstellar medium (ISM)? Which ones are physically the most important for newly forming stellar systems?
Turbulence sources:
There are numerous sources of turbulence in the interstellar medium, at all scales:
Therefore, one could then regards separatly three processes related to massive stars:
Importance for star formation:
They are all relevant to star formation, one way or another. One key property of turbulence is to cascade from large to small scales; therefore, even if you inject turbulence at large scales (galactic scale) you'll get turbulent motions down to the scale of a molecular cloud.
A nice illustration of the tubulent cascade is the Larson's relation (Larson 1981):
The Larson's relation shows the evolution of the velocity dispersion with the size of the structure you're looking at. Velocity dispersion is an indicator of turbulence. Indeed, these dispersions are non-thermal: knowing the typical temperature of the MIS (about 10 K), one can estimate the thermal velocity of, for example, the CO molecule ($v_th = \sqrt{2kT/\mu m_H}$, with $k$ the Boltzman constant, $T$ the temperature, $\mu$ the mean molecular wright and $m_H$ the hydrodgen atom mass) that is about 0.07 km s$^{-1}$. Measured velocity dispersions are of the order of 1 to 10 km s$^{-1}$, and these is interpreted as a turbulence signature (and estimate).

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to 1) investigate lifetime weight changes in community dwelling old-old, those age 80 or older; 2) explore reasons for weight changes from their personal perspective and 3) examine ways the old-old feel they can successfully lose weight. A cross sectional design was used for this qualitative study.Setting: One county of a southeastern U.S. state.Participants: Nine community dwelling old-old.Measurement: Content analysis of transcripts was used to examine the interviews.Results: All of the old-old interviewed had reached their maximum weight after the age of 65. Average lifetime weight gain was 73 pounds. All wanted to lose weight and found ways to incorporate small changes in their everyday lives.Conclusion: With increasing life expectancy among older adults, health promotion targeting weight control needs to include the old-old.

A "Foot Job" is the act in which a woman will use her feet to stimulate a man's penis. This stems from the man having a foot fetish which causes the sexual attraction to a woman's feet. (Very uncommon but women can also have foot fetishes for men) A foot job is usually preformed with the soles of the feet but can be preformed with the toes also.
Other names for a Foot Job are:
Footy J

Like a handjob, but with feet. The most common methods are jacking the guy off between the soles, or between the toes of both feet. Also, the penis could slide between the big and second toe, while the other foot might be poking the scrotum, or perhaps having its toes sucked by the receiver of the footjob. There is endless room for innovation.

In return for the foot rub, she gave me a footjob.

A "FootJob" is a thing couples or a guy and a girl perform where she rubs her feet up and down his dick until he cums over them,this can be done with two or more which adds more pleasure to the recieving person.They can be done in several differant positions like the girl lying on the stomach with her feet up and the guy putting his dick between them.She can be wearing socks or shoes depending on what the reciever wants.Mostly given to males with a footfetish.

My greatest desire is a footjob
by ChaosChronicle January 06, 2004
The sexual activity in wich a male and a female or two females compete in, a footjob for a man and woman is when the woman places her bare feet(shoes or nylon/latex stockings)on the males penis and rubs and strokes it with her soles and places her toes in between the end of the penis rubbing and eventualy the male cums all over the females feet. There is also another type of footjob wich two female lesbians participate in, it's where both females facing leg to leg to eachother place their feet upon eachothers breasts and rub and tickle the niples with their toes also placing each niple between the toes casuing sexual desire and orgasm (this can also be done with the toes being placed in the virginal region.)
Last night i saw this hot chick walking down the street and i asked for her number, she came over that very night and i sucked her soft silky toes to get her in the mood of giving me the best footjob iv ever had, it was amazing i cummed all over her soft sexy feet and she licked it right off.

Face Transplant!
It's true! French physicians have just completed the world's first face transplant. The recipient, an unidentified French woman, got new lips, chin, and nose after the originals were chewed off by a dog. The donor was brain dead.
Curiously, a Google news search for "face transplant" produced this Seattle P-I headline: Face transplant should be pleasant looking. Clicking on the link took me to a story entitled Ethics panel objected to face transplant. Turns out, the doctors did not attempt normal reconstructive surgery before attempting the face transplantbut who would when presented (or should I say faced?) with the opportunity to perform the world's first face transplant?

Re: How can i get finance company to slash APR?
Actually unless your loan is structured with some kind of prepayment penalty just putting a large payment on it around tax time will significantly reduce the interest you are paying over the life of the loan. I did this a few years ago with a Cap 1 auto loan that was at 22%. I paid down a couple thousand in one payment. Now Cap 1 came back and said "You don't need to make another payment until XX/XX/XXXX" in other words they just credited it as regular payment for the next 10 months and said I didn't need to pay again until month 11.
What I did instead was just keep making the regular monthly payments until the loan was finally paid off early. It saved a lot of interest on the balance paid down with the lump sum payment. Check your loan docs. If it is just a normal simple interest loan with a high interest rate this can work for you too. I won't even begin to try and figure out what interest I (or you) save but if you put all the numbers up (Current balance, interest rate, remaining term, proposed lump sum) one of the Excel geeks will quickly tell you what you save.

Any chance you reckon JH and Baalke will do a 1981 on us and instead of DB's just go for receivers and tight ends early on? We could let Ginn and Morgan go, trade Walker and Crabtree for some more or higher picks in the draft and completely revamp our offence, we could get a 1st and 2nd round receiver and a 1st or 2nd TE. I know Crabtree had a better year but he's not JH's guy and he may feel we could do better in the draft.
Also resign as many of the other guys as possible Smith, Rodgers, Brooks and Grant etc. With cap room left just pick up a DE and OL for depth on 1 year contracts.
Anyone else think this might be possible, don't hate if not just a suggestion.

After a lengthy discussion on gun laws and pawn shop activities at the May 7 board meeting, aldermen approved a conditional use permit for a pawn, gun and loan shop at 205 N. First St. in a 5-2 vote.
Aldermen Steve Myers and Walter Arnette voted no, with Arnette saying as someone who served on the planning commission for years and who respected the P&Z members he could not in good conscience vote against their recommendation.

Same as above. This garment is beautifully designed, has high quality fabric, is fully lined, is well tailored and is a good fit.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? There is more black threads through the weave of the fabric than white; it looks better with black slacks.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent. It is beautifully constructed and well-tailored. My only complaint is that it has gigantic snaps (at least an inch in diameter)' so if one wears it, and opens it up when she gets inside a buildling, the garment flops open, and the large snaps that are completely invisible when snapped, are now very visible and not very attractive. So I took them all off, except for the top one.
- How accurate was the sizing? The sizing was accurate for me.
very stylish cape for the spring!
as soon as i wear this garment, I will comeback to review it..
I love this cape! It's a spectacular "statement". Very classy. I can't wait to wear it. It needs a good steam iron to knock out the folds from storage, as the fabric contains a lot of linen. Once the creases are gone, it is just beautiful. I wear a 10 or 12, and ordered a large. 5'6" with fairly broad shoulders. I'm glad I got the large. The shoulders are tailored. It's really lovely!
I have always been happy with the service you have provided and the ability to exchange or return if necessary. THANK YOU!
Looks much more expensive in person. Will be great for Spring or on cool evenings.

Welcome to Claremont Tennis Club
Claremont Tennis Club welcomes you. Browse our website to find out about the history of the club, events calender, league fixtures and results as well as how to become a member and make use of our club facilities nestled in the Claremont suburb with the famous Table Mountain as your backdrop.
We must apologise for the delay in getting the new floodlights installed. The immediate problem is that we are trying to see if it is possible to install LED lights as they are much cheaper to run and with much less maintenance. Nobody in SA or Europe has installed them as far as we can find out. This presents a problem and an opportunity. The problem is we are wary of being the guinea pig and the opportunity in that the suppliers need a working example. We are waiting for sample lights to arrive from JHB for us to test them.
After a great deal of cajoling they are now at last supposed to be here next week after which your committee can try them out and hopefully decide whether it worth considering them in place of the standard system.
The default option is obviously what has been tried and tested elsewhere.
We are however very mindful of the inconvenience to all who play under lights and want the new lights installed as quickly as possible.
Kind Regards
Neil Kisch
To all our Members and their families: Please keep the weekend of 27/28 August free for a wonderful weekend of tennis at Claremont Tennis Club. More details will follow end July.

The search continues for two gunmen Sunday night who shot and killed a mother, right in front of her two kids.
I happened saturday night near east 42nd street and Vineyard in Kansas City, Missouri.
Kansas City Police say the woman died on the scene, the woman's brother was also shot, and was critically injured and is fighting for his life Sunday night at a Kansas City hospital.
The children were not hurt.

I have nine columns in my current .csv file, however, the 2nd and 3rd columns are blank and I want to get rid of them. Is there a way to use batch commands to remove these empty columns from my .csv or export a new .csv without those blank columns?
This traverses input.csv line for line and using a comma as delimiter, stores the first value in
To circumvent this restriction, we can write a batch file that uses string replacement to insert a space between two subsequent commas. This replacement is executed twice to cope with the possibility of three commas. The quotes in

NORMAN, OKLA. - The telephone rings and a recorded voice at the other end of the line says this call is coming from a federal prison. Do you wish to accept?
Adrian Peterson, perhaps the best running back in college football, a 19-year-old prodigy at Oklahoma, knows it is his father calling.
"We talk once a week," he says.
They usually discuss last Saturday's game. Peterson asks for advice, and his dad, Nelson, is blunt.
"I critique him on his ball handling, tell him to move the ball to the proper hand when he runs left," Nelson says. "Pass blocking ... maybe he chips the linebacker when he should get a solid block."
It is the sort of counsel one might expect from a father who has followed his boy's career from the start.
Except that Nelson has been in a Texas prison for seven years, convicted of money laundering, so he must watch on television. The only relationship he and his son can have is by phone and occasional visits.
Some people say this unusual bond - and the hardship it entails - might help to explain why Peterson has become such an extraordinary athlete, that rare freshman who has a chance to win the Heisman Trophy tonight.
Not the most talkative young man, at least not around reporters, Peterson says only that he depends on his father. As Nelson told him a long time ago: "Your daddy's incarcerated, but that's not going to stop me from being your daddy."
In a telephone interview from the federal correctional institution in Texarkana, Texas, Nelson says he is not the least surprised by his son's accomplishments this fall.
A highly touted recruit out of Palestine, Peterson broke into the Oklahoma lineup in the opener against Bowling Green, running for 100 yards and a touchdown.
It would be among his least-productive outings of the season.
His best performances have come in big games; he gained more than 200 yards in victories over Texas and Oklahoma State. In the Big 12 championship game last week, he rushed for 172 yards and three touchdowns against Colorado.
"I have never seen a guy that big, that strong, that fast," Colorado coach Gary Barnett said of the 6-foot-2, 210-pound teenager.
As a boy, Nelson says, Peterson showed several qualities that hinted at remarkable things to come.
It wasn't just his blinding speed. He had boundless energy, a trait that got him nicknamed "A.D." because he could play all day. Also, he was quiet but fiercely competitive.
"I don't care if you're having a potato chip fight," his father says. "He wants to eat more potato chips than you."
But Peterson did not sail through life as so many talented young athletes do. In grade school, he saw his older brother, who was riding a bicycle, hit and killed by a drunk driver. Then, shortly before high school, his father was convicted of laundering money from a crack cocaine sale and sentenced to 10 years.
Peterson doesn't talk much about those times. His mother, Bonita Jackson, explains: "He went through a rebellious stage. I know all teenagers go through that, but it was really bad. A big part of his life was missing."
Not even sports could provide a refuge. In ninth grade, a knee injury ended his football season after only a few games. Then his grades slipped, making him ineligible.
"We prayed a lot," Bonita says. "And we talked. We told him things would get better."
Although Bonita remarried to a minister, Frankie Jackson, she knew that her son needed his real father, too. It helped that Nelson was sent to a prison that he describes as "very laid back. ... Martha Stewart would be here if she was a man."
This allowed for regular calls and weekend visits. Working together, Nelson and the Jacksons remained patient but forceful with their son.
"I had to suck it up," Peterson says. "Pull through."
Eventually regaining his eligibility, he ran for 2,051 yards as a junior at Palestine High. The next season was even more impressive - almost 3,000 yards and 32 touchdowns - ranking him among the nation's top prospects.
The first day coaches were allowed to visit recruits' homes, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops showed up at the prison.
"I respect Coach Stoops a lot for that," Nelson says. "Adrian was surprised."
Stoops sensed in the recruit not only physical skill but an accumulation of experience that would help him manage big-time college sports.
"Mentally, he's tough," Stoops says. "He's at peace with who he is."
This trait has been key to his success.
His background helps him "put some perspective on things," offensive coordinator Chuck Long says. "He doesn't get too emotional. He has an even-keeledness about him that most freshman don't."

Building inspectors were called out to a vacant building after parts of its roof collapsed Wednesday.
Inspectors are checking for possible other collapses to the building as a precautionary to the nearby residents.
Toledo Police said the east side of the roof collapsed from a house in the 1400-block of Indiana Avenue. Bricks had fallen onto the sidewalk and into the street near Indiana and Junction.
Officials set up barricades around the perimeter of the area. Toledo Edison and Columbia Gas Company crews cut off the power and gas to the building.
Officials said no injuries were reported.

50 more homes were burglarized in Pueblo during the month of June this year than were hit during the same month in 2011. The City's Police Department has a plan to fight back.
The department is launching its first home protection campaign, designed to provide information to help homeowners secure their property. Officers will be at several local businesses during the next week to answer questions from the public and provide crime prevention tips.
Officers say they'll also have extra patrols in certain neighborhoods, especially during the day.
"I think a lot of times people believe that burglaries happen when they're on vacation, which is still true but we're also seeing some differences where they're hitting the early morning hours just after people go to work, so that's a concern as well," explained Pueblo Police Officer Rebecca Jaeger.
One piece of advice police are sharing is that homeowners should itemize the possessions in their house. A complete list of the serial numbers on electronics and photographs of other valuables could help recover items if they are stolen.
Officers will be out at these locations:
Monday, August 13th - 8am-3pm - Northside Wal-Mart
Tuesday, August 14th - 8am-3pm - Southside Kmart
Tuesday, August 14th - 10-am-2pm - Home Depot
Wednesday, August 15th - 8am-3pm - Target
Thursday, August 16th - 8am-3pm - Southside Wal-Mart

Amy's Thread: What size?
What is the difference between "To Fit Bust Size…" and "Finished Measurements" and what is ease all about anyway?
If you ask me what size I am, you're going to get a convoluted answer. It depends on the brand, it depends on the fit (that's ease or how loose the garment is meant to fit). It depends on my mood and maybe even the weather. I'm only half kidding on that last one.
One of my favorite things about knitting patterns is that, compared to store-bought clothes, it is really easy to figure out what size you need to make.
Step 1.
Measure yourself. There are a lot of measurements you can take to really fine tune the fit of a garment. If you're super anxious to get started there is one measurement you absolutely need – the circumference of your torso.
To find this measurement get a tape measure and wrap it around your torso just under the armpit and don't pull too tight! Keep the tape measure fairly comfortable and if possible do this with a friend or helper who can make sure that the tape measure is straight across all the way around.
Step 2.
Compare your measurements to the pattern.
Look for the set of numbers that says "To Fit Bust…" and choose the size that most closely matches your actual measurement from step 1.
Step 3.
Look at the "Finished Measurements" – this is the actual size that your finished sweater will be.
If there is a difference between the numbers under "To Fit" and "Finished Measurements," that is the ease. Ease is how loose or tight the designer wanted the sweater to be. In this example, the intended ease is "0" so the "Finished Measurements" are the same as the "To Fit" measurement. It's nice when a pattern includes a note about how much ease the designer intended when they planned the garment, but this isn't always the case, so always look for a schematic.
The schematic with tell the "Finished Measurement," which you can then compare the "To Fit" measurement.
All of the images used for this example were borrowed from Graphite – a free pattern, featured in our Knitbits newsletter available at Berroco.com

I am so nervous about making a sweater. Posts like these are very helpful. Would you consider a series on reading sweater patterns?February 27, 2015

If this is not your largest measurement, beware! Knitting stretches, but it also pulls and rides up and bunches…February 27, 2015

I have to confess to feeling really irritated by this concept. Almost everyone assumes that when a bust measurement is needed, what we're talking about is the traditional "across the fullest part of the bust". If knitwear designers are thinking of torso measurement instead, they should say so! And we poor stooges who try to follow their patterns need to know if they all think this way or not – otherwise how on earth can we choose the right size to knit? (I suspect that many of them do still use the fullest part of the bust measurement, which makes it even more difficult for us to make the right call.) I speak out of several unhappy experiences of knitting something that turned out way too big without understanding why.February 27, 2015
Jerry #
Does your measurements apply to men's sweaters or is there another way to measure. I made a sweater based on pattern size and it came out way too large for me. I even decreased stitches from cast on. Thanks.February 27, 2015
Peggy #
I understand the difference between "To Fit Bust Size" and "Finished Measurements", and I also understand what "ease" is. What I don't understand is why you would take the underarm measurement and use that as the bust size. I am a small busted woman, and my underarm measurement is 3″ less than my bust measurement. For a larger busted woman, this difference could be even greater. To my way of thinking, it should be the larger, actual bust measurement that one should be using when looking at the "To Fit Bust Size" numbers in a sweater pattern.February 27, 2015

Can ADHD Teens Survive Mainstream High School?
My ADHD teenage daughter is struggling in high school, trying to keep up with schoolwork and make friends. My own frustrations dealing with embarrassing ADHD symptoms at work are different, but sharing my experiences reminds us both that we're not alone.
At the end of my last post, it was late September of last year. My 15-year-old daughter, Coco, who, like me, has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), for weeks seemed fine with our decision to pursue an individualized education plan (IEP) to start mainstreaming her in her new high school. Then, while setting the table, she suddenly breaks down and lets it out. She hates the...

ADHD Teens: Homeschool or High School?
Under so much pressure to succeed socially and academically in a new school, can my ADHD teenage daughter survive her first semester of high school? Can I, her anxious, overwhelmed ADHD dad, help her?
I'd planned this post to be about my 15-year-old daughter, Coco, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), and how she overcame her struggles with feeling overwhelmed in a new school. I envisioned it would be a simple, straightforward success story for other parents of kids with learning disabilities. In parenting reality though, nothing is simple or straightforward. This fall she started high school in Georgia, where...

Patient Comments: Sickle Cell Disease (Sickle Cell Anemia) - Experience
Please describe your experience with sickle cell disease (sickle cell anemia).
Comment from: jackie, 7-12 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 08
My son was diagnosed with sickle cell disease at the age of 9 years and before that none of us suspected anything of the sort. We have always maintained a healthy diet and often use Seven Seas cod liver oil. Maybe it has also helped but I am thankful for his good health.
Comment from: skinnyminny, 35-44 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 13
We have recently buried my father, a sickle cell anemia sufferer for many years. He passed away on Jan. 8, 2010, at the age of 67. He lived a long and productive life, despite the many hospital visits. His faith in God, an extremely healthy diet, and unwavering family support allowed him to live to such a ripe old age, all things considered. To all those who are at the beginning, middle, or end of your journey, look to a higher power, as I have and continue to do so. I have just had a niece (8 years old) diagnosed with sickle cell disease five months ago. And it begins all over again �
Comment from: shantiecutie, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: November 04
I'm only 14 now, but since I know I have sickle cell, and I know how to control it, it's much easier for me to deal with it. Sometimes I have problems at school because my school is literally 1/4 of a mile long and I have trouble walking from one class to another, but my teachers know what's wrong with me if I don't look like my normal self. And missing school is always hard because I have to catch up, and when I do come back, all the kids ask why I was out, and I can't tell them the truth because I'm scared they might not like me anymore. I know it's stupid, but that's how I feel.
Comment from: zecdo, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: October 08
I'm an African with sickle cell disease. I'm 38 years old. I spent most of my childhood in and out of hospitals, though, when I turned 30, I rarely had pain crises. The only seriously issue I had was priapism which ended up ruining my privates. Well, I had an operation and had an alpha mentor tube transplanted. Now I have a son who also has sickle cell, but I did not know my wife was a carrier until when she was pregnant. Well, my son is doing really fine. He is on folic acid and amoxcillin daily.
Comment from: lisa, 3-6 Female (Caregiver) Published: October 07
I have a 4-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with sickle cell when she was 24 months of age. She is presently on Amoxil and folic acid twice daily. When the crises occurs, it is sometimes very hard to manage the pain. I heard about the pediatric HUGS program that is still on trial but is working in toddlers and infants. If anyone who is trying this drug and has information, please blog. I just want to be fully aware.
Comment from: sapeachy, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: May 20
I am a 41-year-old woman with sickle cell disease. When I was a small child, no one could tell my mom why I was having so much pain. I found out eventually when I was in the third grade. I have been in and out of hospitals all my life. I learned to live with my sickness, and I have gotten better over the years. The only thing I hate about this disease is that when you go to hospitals to get help, you have some nurses and doctors thinking you just want the pain medicine. I just want the pain to go away. I have a supporting family that helps me through it all. And I also have my heavenly Father who I know is a healer. I tell everyone I meet that God is a healer, and I'm still here because of Him.
Comment from: wildcardma55, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 24
When I am going thru a crisis, sometimes the medical community treats me like a drug addict. All I want is the pain to stop. As I have gotten older(54),it seems I am having sideline problems(severe back, hip, arm and leg pain)and my primary physician won't prescribe anything but Tylenol 3's(which don't work). I do go see a medical oncologist, but those visits are far and few. I would like to understand it more and would love to find out how I can manage my pain better. When I was at the doctor's the other day, I was told by one of the physicians, that they were going to start me on the hydroxyurea, but reading up on this medication has scared me to death and from others who have the same condition as I, it sounds as if the side effects are horrible.

Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio in Studded Colcci Skinny Jeans
Alessandra Ambrosio was snapped out with her son Noah and some friends while running errands. Alessandra is walking the runway for the Victoria's Secret Fashion show this week. She tweeted, "Doing my fitting @VictoriasSecret and sorry guys I'm not about to show u what I'm wearing #VSFahionShow #VSFashionShow2012 #FantasyBra2012"
It seems like we rarely see Alessandra in jeans, she really loves her shorts, but this time she was spotted in a pair of Colcci Skinny jeans with studs. She's also wearing Emerson Ryder's diamond Bella Bar Necklace. I like this casual look on her, the studs add a nice flare to the outfit.

Alessandra Ambrosio in Denim Shorts
Alessandra Ambrosio and her son Noah Mazur were seen picking some pumpkins at the pumpkin patch in Hollywood, California last week in time for Halloween.
Alessandra wore a pair of cut off denim shorts with sandals and a printed shirt. I am actually beginning to think that Alessandra might take the crown this year for denim diva of 2012! We get so many regular sightings of her! What do you think?

Alessandra Ambrosio in One Teaspoon Bonitas Shorts in Burgandy
The gorgeous Alessandra Ambrosio was seen running some errands and shopping while she was out and about in Los Angeles, California last week.
Alessandra wore a pair of One Teaspoon Bonitas denim shorts in Burgundy, with some ankle boots, a white shirt, a colour block bag and Emerson Ryder's Grande Disco bracelet as a necklace. I love this entire look, especially the shorts, shirt and bag combo. It works so well together! You can buy these shorts online at SINGER22.com for $94.

Alessandra Ambrosio in Hudson Nico Raw Hem Shorts in Mint Leopard
Alessandra Ambrosio and daughter Anja were photographed picking up some supplies at Petco. I'm starting to think that Alessandra owns a lot of shorts! She's been spotted on the blog quite a few times recently in shorts, but she frequently mixes up brands and wears different pairs.
Most recently, she wore a pair of Hudson's Nico Mid-rise Raw Hem shorts in Mint leopard. I love that the leopard print on these is very subtle and the mint color really pops! You can buy these shorts from Hudsonjeans.com on sale for $103.00.

By Capt. Olivia Cobiskey and Staff Sgt. Latara R. Smith, 205th Infantry Brigade Public AffairsFebruary 12, 2013
More than 12 years ago, after his induction into the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club, Command Sgt. Maj. David Pitt learned to appreciate community outreach programs. Recently, he decided to pass that appreciation on to his Soldiers.
The SAMC club, created to develop, inspire, and motivate the best leaders possible in the U.S. Army, encourages its members to show personal concern for the needs and welfare of others, explained Pitt, the command sergeant major for the 1-335th Infantry Battalion, 205th Infantry Brigade at Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuvering Center, Ind. Pitt said he wanted to continue that tradition in his current unit. He combined the principals from the SAMC with an awareness of monthly commemorations and started a monthly essay program with local schools.
"The Sergeant Major of the Army has asked us to get back to basics," Pitt said.
"Before 9/11, programs like this were happening on a regular basis, we now have a new generation of leaders that are unaware of this. Therefore, if we do not show them that it is important to be involved with our community, the concept will be lost forever."
January was the second month of the battalion's community outreach program. Pitt, his Soldiers and with support from Lt. Col. Craig S. Wagoner, his Battalion Commander, asked students at Doe Creek Middle School and Sugar Creek Elementary, in New Palestine, Ind., to write an essay honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The essays, titled "My Dream," celebrated the historic speech King delivered on Aug. 28, 1963 outlining the world he dreamed of, a world where, "my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the contents of their character."
Wagoner and 1-335 Soldiers presented plaques, coins, and gift cards to the winners of this month's essay contest.
Hailee Holberton, the 7th grade essay winner at the middle school, said she dreams of a world without bullying.
"A lot of people, especially teenagers, try so hard to be popular to 'fit in'," said Holberton, whose older brother lost a classmate to suicide last year.
"They try so hard that they end up hanging out with the wrong people. I think that it is okay to stand out and be your own person. Everyone needs to feel accepted for who they are, not who people want them to be," she added.
Holberton said the best way to stop bullying is to stop it when it happens or report it. The middle school has a way for children to report bullying anonymously.
Brooklyn Brown, a 5th grader at the elementary school, wrote about her dream to some day follow in King's footsteps and minister to people
Tonya Wood, a counselor at Sugar Creek Elementary, said that it is important that children are aware they have a voice, which encourages them in knowing that the values they hold and the opinions that come from them matters.
"This builds their self-confidence," Wood said


text: hunting State Drops Mandatory Reporting For Hunters By The Associated Press • Sep 27, 2013 The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources The state is dropping a rule that requires hunters to report all the deer and turkey they kill beginning next month. The state wildlife agency said Friday the reporting will now be voluntary, not mandatory. The change came after a Republican legislator said he would block the rules if the Conservation Department didn't make major changes in the program, called "Game Check." Compromise On New Ala. Hunting Rule Fails By The Associated Press • Sep 6, 2013 blog.al.com A state lawmaker says he failed to reach a compromise with Alabama conservation officials over a proposed game rule affecting as many as 250,000 hunters. That means legislators could intervene just before the opening of fall deer season next month. State Sen. Paul Sanford of Huntsville says conservation leaders appear unwilling to make changes to a proposed rule that would require hunters to report details about deer or turkey kills to the state within 24 hours.

No Side Effects – No Drug Interactions – Non-Drowsy = Nothing!
Writing at ScienceBasedMedicine.org, Steven Novella calls this "a pseudoscience trifecta": Boiron claims that its imaginary element is present in its solution which has been diluted at farcical levels, and that the imaginary ingredient in question is effective at treating flu symptoms. "Essentially Boiron takes fairy dust and then dilutes it out of (non)existence."
I hope Boiron does draw a line in the sand over their oscillococcinum product, and that it becomes the center piece of a broader public discussion about homeopathy. Most of the public does not understand what homeopathy actually is. They think it means "natural" or "herbal" medicine. They have no idea that homeopathy is about taking fanciful ingredients with a dubious connection to the symptoms in the first place, and then diluting them into oblivion, then placing a drop of the pure water that remains and placing it on a sugar pill. The resultant pill is then supposed to contain the magic vibrations of the original substance.Boiron vs Blogzero (BlogZero.it)
This rank pseudoscience, which has no place in 21st century medicine, is the business of Boiron. Let's see them try to defend themselves and their products. Let's see them harass bloggers and those who are just trying to expose the public to the truth. Let's see them argue in public how air bubbles in duck liver fantastically diluted can treat the flu.
Homeopathic Thuggery (Science Based Medicine)

Google Street View car vandalised in Germany - police
- From: AFP
- March 31, 2010
- Street View car parked overnight
- Tyres flattened, camera cables slashed
- Driver finds note warning about hazard
VANDALS in Germany have sabotaged a Google Street View car, police say, an apparent act of protest against the navigation service that is controversial in the country amid privacy concerns.
A Google employee left his specially-modified black Opel with eight mounted cameras parked overnight in the northern city of Oldenburg, but returned to find the tires let down and the camera cables slashed, local police said.
"The employee found a note under the windshield saying, 'Please do not drive away, you have a puncture'," police spokesman Sven Warnken said, adding the saboteurs seemed concerned no harm should come to the driver of the vehicle.
Google's Street View service allows users to browse the streets of certain cities by joining together thousands of photos taken by the cars to create a 3D image.
Street View was launched in the United States in 2007 and came to Australia in 2008. It is already available in several European countries, including France and Britain, but it has come under attack from privacy campaigners concerned about being snapped without their consent.
Germany, where Google intends to launch the technology this year, is especially sensitive to the issue after abuses of privacy by the Nazis and the Stasi secret police of the old East German communist regime.
Street View already automatically blurs faces and car license plates.
However, as a concession to privacy concerns in Germany, the company will also allow unhappy users to delete a disputed photo.

world of hurt Posted at 3:00 PM March 31, 2010
they are definitely not violent. Hence the note concerned for the drivers safety. I saw one of the google cars at Tuggerah on the central coast. It was not as colourful as the one pictured tho. Just plain white hatchback of some kind with Google down the side. The camera's on the roof were not mounted as high either

I don't really like the idea of Google Street View - I think because it means people could possible 'case' my property, without me having any idea...

WayneT - security and traffic cameras don't broadcast for all the world to see, these are secure systems. There are very good reasons why people may feel concerned at being photographed infornt of their home or have their car captured on street view - prime example would be someone trying to get away from an abusive partner. The faces and number plates aren't automatically blurred so there is still an eliment of human error - so yes it is a privacy concern.

Josh of Brisbane Posted at 1:03 PM March 31, 2010
I think what you all need to realise is that Germany was subjected to some of the worst 'monitoring' and spying during the cold war era from their own people and government. I'd imagine you would be somewhat paranoid about having it all recur again (it was only 12 years ago it technically stopped) where a company such as google were going to technically re-monitor / snapshot a moment in time where it was very painful for alot of people. I've been there, I've seen the state of some of the older (and sometimes younger) groups and their issues with photos and data collection regarding someones personal life. While this is technically a peaceful protest, it still is probably better off handled in another way.

How is it a breach of privacy? They don't drive up your driveway and take photo's of your backyard or through your windows. If your worried about getting photographed in public areas then don't leave your homes you knuckleheads. If you go out into public these days your likely to be recorded a number of times by surveillance cameras or god forbid, traffic cameras. There are more important things to worry about.

You could have a picture taken of you doiong something embarrassing at any time in any place by anybody - at least google is doing something useful with them by creating streetview, rather than just posting them up on facebook.

The continuing boom in North Dakota seemingly has no end. Last June oil production from the Bakken Formation exceeded 11 million barrels a month. In February it reached 16 million with estimates that by late spring North Dakota could be producing more oil than either California or Alaska. That's more than double what the state produced just two years ago.
ECRI Stays with Recession CallWritten by Bob Adelmann
When Lakshman Achuthan (left), co-founder of Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI) appeared on CNBC to defend his prediction last September of an "imminent" recession, challenges came from many observers, including Tom Keene and Ken Prewitt of Bloomberg and Jon Stewart of The Bonddad Blog. Each pointed to an array of economic indicators that appeared to make Achuthan's prediction appear almost silly: jobs data improving, auto sales increasing, homebuilders stock prices bouncing, consumer sentiment positive, and others.
White House announcements celebrating the jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) were optimistic: "Private sector employers added 233,000 jobs to their payrolls in February [which] means the economy has added jobs for 24 consecutive months…" This illustrates "the progress of the last two years and the importance of doing everything we can to continue strengthening our economy and creating jobs for the months and years ahead," wrote Megan Slack on the White House blog. Alan Krueger, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, was equally enthusiastic:
In yet another sign that the looming American debt crisis is close to spiraling out of control, February's monthly federal deficit was the highest ever recorded — $229 billion, according to a report released last Wednesday by the Congressional Budget Office. Even more alarmingly, five months into this fiscal year (which began October 1, 2011), the deficit has already exceeded half a trillion dollars, with the government having to borrow 42 cents of every dollar spent during that same span.
Washington, D.C. raked in more than $885 million from President Obama's economic stimulus package, but the D.C. government cannot report how many jobs it actually generated for its residents. A large majority of the money has been spent, but according to an analysis by the Washington Times, data released by government officials reveal that the city doled out hundreds of millions of federal dollars while effecting no favorable change in the city's unemployment rate, which ranks among the worst in the country.
