That's our goal for you, if you're willing to continue as THE Subscriber for your Zip Codes. If you would like to receive all the first page rankings, traffic and New Patient Leads that come through for your chosen Zip Codes, our low monthly fee is... This small monthly fee is for our continued work each month to get you even more Top Ranked Search Positions, more traffic and more New Patient Inquiries. You can CHOOSE to subscribe to any or all of your available Zip Codes. We think you'll find this to be the best money you've ever spent to attract New Patients, and if not... Fill your practice to capacity and quit if you like, or expand your practice to accommodate the new patient influx. It's totally your choice.
Dear Doctor or Office Manager, Your time is valuable, so let me get right to the point. As you probably know... and most other forms of print advertising, especially the yellow pages, are either dead or dying. And thank goodness for that! These antiquated dinosaurs of advertising are "shotgun" approaches that are insanely expensive and incredibly inefficient for local offices. With rare exception, you had to pay for your advertising based on the circulation of the publication. It's the same with TV and Radio advertising. You had to pay to advertise in areas that your Office did not practically serve! Plus, with the exception of the Yellow Pages, your advertising was just hoping someone needed your services WHEN they saw your ad. How inefficient is that? your efforts could be doubly ineffective. If the potential New Patient was in need of your services at the moment they saw your ad, and if they did not have a pad and pencil handy at the very moment they saw your ad, what were your chances they would contact you? While the Yellow Pages were great about being at their fingertips when the patients needed a local dentist, you still had to pay to advertise in areas that did not best serve your practice. But even worse, you had to compete with every local dentist that had bigger advertising budgets than you did, which gave them the first and largest full page ads with no competition on the page! If you didn't have that large ad budget, you were relegated to the smaller sections where you had to compete with hundreds or even thousands of other dentists. As we said, until now your choices were...Incredibly Inefficient and Insanely Expensive! Let's change that to... My how the times have changed! Today, thanks to modern technology, more and more people everyday are searching for exactly what they want on the Internet using their computer or their cell phone. and it's the Internet. I didn't really have to tell you that did I? So now, all you have to do to attract New Patients is have a website, right? If you have a website that's been online for any length of time you know the REAL truth. builds your practice and makes you money! Being on the first page of the search results in the highest positions possible, is like having your office at the busiest intersection in your town with a huge, blinking, neon sign... That's our specialty - driving qualified visitors (potential new patients) to your website with Top Search Engine Rankings in ALL the major Search Engines. Of course, we think we're the best at it - every Search Engine Marketing company will say that about themselves and will ask you for a sizable amount of your advertising budget - UP FRONT - to start working for you. This is where we differ from all the rest. We invest all the money, time and effort to prove what we can do for you BEFORE we'll even allow you to spend a nickel with us. How's that for confidence? But that's not all. We basically have no competition for what we do, and the way we do it. The software that powers our system is so unique; it's Patent Pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Of course, the big question on your mind is probably... That's a very simple question with an even simpler answer. We're 100% confident that we can prove to you (with concrete proof) that we do exactly what we say we can do - BEFORE you think about spending a penny for our service. We want to earn your business with PROOF not promises. Of course, every website and every situation is different. So we figured the best way to prove ourselves to you is to actually do the work first and back it up with solid statistics. We'll call this a trial period and we're the ones on trial. You are in charge. You make the call. At the end of the trial period we'll send you a detailed report showing you exactly how many Top 10 Ranked Search Engine Positions have been achieved for you and how many "clicks" (also known as click-throughs) those rankings produced. You can simply walk away and all the traffic and any new patients that come from our work will simply go to the next dentist who subscribes to our service. You don't owe us a thing. If you would like to receive all the traffic and New Patient Leads that come through for your chosen Zip Codes, our low monthly fee is... This small monthly fee is for our continued work each month to get you even more Top Ranked Search Positions, more traffic and more New Patient Inquiries. You can CHOOSE to subscribe to any or all of your available Zip Codes. We think you'll find this to be the best money you've ever spent to attract New Patients, and if not... Fill your practice to capacity and quit if you like, or expand your practice to accommodate the new patient influx. It's totally your choice. The question you have to ask yourself is: In other words, how many new patients do you need to justify spending $299 per month? When you consider how many family members may come to you as a result of their positive experience with your office - and how many other referrals they may make, how many new patients do you need to attract to pay our small monthly fee? We purposely priced our program so that, when you consider the lifetime value of a satisfied New Patient, only...
...New Patient EVERY THREE MONTHS from any of the Zip Codes you subscribe to - would more than pay for the small monthly fee! Of course every website is different and every situation is unique, but we can tell you from past experience that it's not uncommon for us to get... of Top Ten Ranked Search Engine Positions for our clients in the first month. And that many Top 10 Rankings can mean up to 20-30,000 clicks or more to that website. If you were using a pay-per-click (PPC) advertising program like Google AdWords to send prospective new patients to your website, with the minimum bid of only 5 cents per click, that would translate to... $1,000 to $1,500 per month in advertising costs - MINIMUM! Yikes! You never pay a cent for New Patient Inquiries (clicks) no matter how many you receive. But we don't expect you to believe anything we've said so far. Even though our parent company has been in business for more than 23 years, chances are you've never heard of us. So you have no reason to believe us. That's why we're willing to do all the work at our expense to prove ourselves to you with a detailed report BEFORE you decide to hire us. You can email or call me right now to get started or if you have any questions, but please keep in mind, this is a very exclusive offer. for each reserved Zip Code, on a first-come, first-served basis.
So I suggest you get your requests in as soon as possible before it's too late. Do it NOW! If you're not near a computer, you can call me with the Zip Codes you want. If you're not calling me RIGHT NOW, or rushing to get to a computer to email me your list of Zip Codes, this is probably not for you, and that's okay. I appreciate you taking the time to consider our offer and I wish you the best of luck with your practice. If I can be of service to you, or if you have any questions, please feel free to email or call me. Sincerely, Jerry Zalenski, Program Coordinator email@example.com (702) 313-6000 or Toll Free (800) 404-1234 P.S. If you have a colleague you think would benefit from our service, who is NOT a competing local dentist for the Zip Codes you want, you may pass this website (URL) along to them. Wouldn't you want them to tell you if they found out about our program before you did? They can be in your area, state or anywhere in the Nation. (Hint: Think classmates.)

Can you use sunscreen lotion on a young child, less than 1 year-old?
Rachel Woods, RN, Nurse for the Surgical Dermatology Program at Penn Medicine responds:
The American Academy of Pediatrics has said to use sunscreen by 6 months of age but that limited use is all right for younger babies. The best protection is to avoid having a baby in direct sun exposure or in areas where they are at risk for burn. Their skin is very delicate.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire Sun Safety Webchat transcript.
Mar 6, 2015 - Workplace safe sun policies and participation in skin cancer prevention programs both help improve the sun protection habits of lifeguards and aquatic instructors, but social norms exert the greatest influence, researchers report in the February issue of the Archives of Dermatology.

What was the size and Kbs of the pics.I just made a pizza today and I will post the pics.
Usually, a properly sized and compressed JPEG image will be less than 50 KB in size.
Everytime I post a picture is get the max 128 kb message with error. My picture is 79 KB. Why does this still happen?
Just a quick note regarding posting pictures to the forum.A picture is worth a thousand words, so keep'em coming!But, I do have one small request. When you post a picture to the site, please consider "attaching" the picture(s) to your posts instead of using hyperlinks to pictures on other servers. When you use the "Attach:" feature, you are actually uploading the picture to this website which ensures that the picture will always be here and will load quickly (and won't steal bandwidth from an unsuspecting website.)All you have to do is hit the "Browse..." button in the editor and select the picture on your local hard drive. Please note that the picture will not display until you click the "Post" button.Thanks!! And remember, keep those excellent pictures coming!
Here it seems if you want people to see your pics within the thread you are forced to upload them to this site.i understand that you want to have pictures always be on your server but why disable HTML IMG code so people cant insert their pictures from websites that are designed for image hosting (photobucket.. etc) ??if it was a post like a how to with pictures with a write up id upload to your serverbut if its just pics of the latest pie, why not let me use photo bucket ?

I might speak to you tonight of the natural physical laws of the universe," said Dr. Fosdick, delivering the Bacca- laureate address in the "gymnasium on Sunday evening. "Instead." he continued. "I shall speak to you of the natural inner laws. "'Wide is the gate; broad is the way that leads to destruction. Many are they that enter therein.' This was not a stern decree, but a simple statement of universal law. The Master came to bring people life. He saw that few people were get- ting it. This was His explanation. "The lawlessness of American civiliza- tion is appalling. Statistics show that no other civilized nation approaches it in the percentage of violent crime. "Self-expression sums up our modern attitude. This is fairly natural. Human life comes in seasons. There are the win- ter seasons when life congeals and freraes into patterns. These are followed by the springtime thaws, when customs again become plastic, pliable, and fluid, until the spring freshets tear down, and mud clogs up all the roads. The Victorian era was the winter. Now is the spring, the re- lease: in music, jazz; in art, cubism. CONTINUED ON PACE 4

A Warning to all MRAs. (self.MensRights)
112 ups - 79 downs = 33 votes
Long story short. My name is Michael Claymore, you don't know who i am, but i'm sure most of you know my associate The Pigman. The Pigman's account has been banned, and this appears to apply to all of reddit, not just the mensrights sub. I see no reason why this should happen other than the Pigman's staunch support for men's rights. You have been warned -- the hammer may very well be about to fall on this entire sub or at least on its more outspoken members. Of course, this may all be due to some personal animus held against the Pigman by someone at the top, but i doubt it.

The cause of hypogonadism is primary or central. In primary hypogonadism, the ovaries or testes themselves do not function properly. Causes of primary hypogonadism include:
The most common genetic disorders that cause primary hypogonadism are Turner syndrome (in women) and Klinefelter syndrome (in men).
In central hypogonadism, the centers in the brain that control the gonads (hypothalamus and pituitary) do not function properly. Causes of central hypogonadism include:
A genetic cause of central hypogonadism that also takes away the sense of smell is Kallmann syndrome in males. The most common tumors affecting the pituitary are craniopharyngioma in children and prolactinoma in adults.
Girls who have hypogonadism will not begin menstruating. Hypogonadism can affect breast development and height in girls. If hypogonadism occurs after puberty, symptoms include:
In boys, hypogonadism affects muscle and beard development and leads to growth problems. In men the symptoms are:
If a brain tumor is present (central hypogonadism), there may be:
People with anorexia nervosa who diet to the point of starvation and those who lose a lot of weight very quickly, such as after gastric bypass surgery , may also have central hypogonadism.
Tests may be done that check:
Other tests may include:
Sometimes imaging tests are needed, such as a sonogram of the ovaries. If pituitary disease is suspected, an MRI or CT scan of the brain may be done.
Hormone-based medicines may be prescribed. For girls and women, estrogen and progesterone come in the form of a pill or skin patch. For boys and men, testosterone can be given as a skin patch, skin gel, a solution applied to the armpit, a patch applied to the upper gum, or by injection.
For women who have not had their uterus removed, combination treatment with estrogen and progesterone may decrease the chance of developing endometrial cancer . Women with hypogonadism who have low sex drive may also be prescribed low-dose testosterone.
In some women, injections or pills can be used to stimulate ovulation. Injections of pituitary hormone may be used to help male patients produce sperm. Other people may need surgery and radiation therapy.
Many forms of hypogonadism are treatable and have a good outlook.
In women, hypogonadism may cause infertility . Menopause is a form of hypogonadism that occurs naturally and can cause hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and irritability as a woman's estrogen levels fall. The risk of osteoporosis and heart disease increase after menopause.
Some women with hypogonadism take estrogen therapy , especially those who have early menopause (premature ovarian failure). But there is an increased risk of breast cancer and heart disease when hormone therapy is used long-term to treat menopause symptoms.
In men, hypogonadism results in loss of sex drive and may cause:
Men normally have lower testosterone as they age, but the decline is not as dramatic or steep as the decline in sex hormones that women experience.
Talk to your doctor if you notice:
Both men and women should call their health care provider if they have headaches or vision problems.
Maintain normal body weight and healthy eating habits to prevent anorexia nervosa. Other causes may not be preventable.

"Mutatis mutandis
"Welcome to the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. We here, at the academy, are dedicated to bringing you the education you need to mold your own future. This goes to both you're academics, and your "unique" nature. You must understand, that you are not unnatural, monstrous, nor are your abilities a curse. You are a mutant, but the nonetheless, human, and your abilities are a gift. We are here to help you learn how to control your powers, teach you how to use them, and more importantly, when to use them. For, though our abilities are gifts, they also come with great responsibility. Most importantly, however, is that we are here for you. We are here to guide you towards the right path. But in the end, it is you who will ultimately decide your own road to take."
The Premise
You are a mutant who has just enrolled at the Xavier Institute, and you are a part of the second generation of mutants (the first being the original X-Men). This RP takes place in an alternative universe, apart from any currently existing in the Marvel Multiverse. For the sake of clarification, welcome to Earth-4111 (Earth-616 is the main Marvel universe). Your goal in the RP is the learn how to control your character's growing powers, and eventually use them to further your means, whether it be to protect humanity or abuse them. Your characters are of the younger spectrum, with ages ranging from 15-18. Your characters also happen to live on the grounds, whether temporarily or permanently is left at your discretion. All the players will be grouped into their own special squads for training missions and field missions, given their own special name. Everyone will be part of the same squad, unless the number of players gets too large. In that case, there will be two (or more, though I doubt it'll reach that size). The plot will be influenced by the players, as I will guide the RP based on your abilities as RPers.
The World
The world sees the Xavier Institute as an exclusive academy for youngsters, and are entirely unaware that the students there are all mutants. Mutants, as a whole, are painted in a negative light and seen as a threat by society. However, things are still far from violent oppression, and mutants are more feared than they are hated. Whether this intolerance evolves into that hate will be based on your own actions. For the sake of simplicity, the time setting is in the modern age. Also, Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr are the two most powerful known mutants in this world at this time. The Brotherhood has also been established already, and the original X-Men are to be decided after the first batch of CSes. Currently, they will include Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Beast. They are NOT playable.
The Faculty (subject to change)
Professor Charles Xavier – Founder, Headmaster.
Annie Ghazikhanian - School nurse.
Scott Summers – Teaches Geometry and Leadership.
Jean Grey – Teaches History and Literature. Also works with telekinetics and telepaths in dealing with their powers.
Kennedy Yang – Your Homeroom teacher. Teaches foreign language.
Craig Hollis – Teaches Basic Combat Training, Physical Education.
Hank McCoy – Science Teacher.
James "Logan" Howlett - Occasional substitute teacher.
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde - Teaches various technology classes.
Robert "Bobby" Drake - Teaches different math classes, and Accounting.
Vera Acanthi - Teaches Creative Writing and Government.
Ororo Munroe - Teaches various ecological and environmental courses, and offers a Meteorology course.
Warren Worthington III - Teaches no current courses.
Yvonne Salguiero - Trainer for the Advanced Mutant Mastery class.
The Things to Know
- Sign ups are never open, unless I find there reason to be a remarkable exception. But, if you're not going to bother reading all the things to know, then don't bother wasting my time.
- Your characters have just, or have recently, manifested their powers. That means, they are either of a weak nature or nigh uncontrollable. I won't put a heavy restriction on what your character can achieve, but keep in mind: if I think your powers are too great, Xavier will place mental blocks on your character, and they will not be able to break no matter what. In other words, try to be godmoddish with your character, and I will set your limits for you. Reality and molecule manipulation are off limits.
- I challenge you to make your powers as simple and weak as possible (i.e. glow in the dark). If you do so, I will be the one ultimately controlling the growth of your power. If you play well, your powers may evolve to manipulating light. If you don't play so well, maybe you'll start glowing a little brighter. This is something for more experienced RPers who don't mind losing some creative control.
- Your character is not a swiss army knife of super powers. Try to control yourselves.
- Canon characters are allowed. Being an AU, they can be of any incarnation as long as they're the right age. However, I encourage you to be unique and original. Also, certain characters are entirely off limits. They include: the listed instructors, Wolverine, Cable, Nate Grey, Rachel Summers, Vulcan, Franklin Richards, Mister M, Kid Omega, and any manifestation of the Phoenix. Supervillians like Magneto and Apocalypse obviously go into this category as well.
- How the plot plays out will be based on the players' abilities. If things are going well, you'll face some incredible obstacles (the Brotherhood, Sentinels, etc.). If not, you'll be stuck in the Danger Room, dealing with simulations.
- I will allow one or two non-Mutant characters (meaning, not born with powers but given them. Or alien). After all, it seems kind of hypocritical for the school to shun non-Mutants if they preach tolerance and building bridges with normal people.
- You can give yourself your codenames, but I urge you NOT to. If you do, don't refer to yourself as that. The codenames will be meant for field missions and when you're working with your squad.
- Maps, though shouldn't be seen as things set in stone.
- Visual Guide: Not set in stone either
- Similar to how some RPs are separated into chapters, parts, or episodes, this RP will be separated into 'Issues.'
- More then one character is allowed (two being the maximum). However, wait until the first team has been created.
- Here's some important information about how classes will work. Students will not have all the same classes. The classes they will have together are: their homeroom (obviously), PE, combat training, field missions, and ethics with Xavier. The other classes you will choose on your own, and they are of your typical curriculum. Whether or not you have those classes with those in your homeroom is your choice as well. If you do, any interaction you may have will take place between those involved only. I do discourage you from RPing these other classes on a regular basis (meaning, only do it once in awhile), though, as things can get confusing with so many people. I would simulate these other classes, and all, but I really don't feel like teaching you guys about proofs and angles, and whatnot .
- Special little warning: I've avoided the 'death' element for characters for awhile now, but giving the huge influx of newbies, the factor is now present (based upon either ability or making the wrong move during gaming). Tread a little softer now my students. Or don't, since depending on the situation, maybe your character will just be asked to kindly leave the mansion or class. In which case you would have an opportunity to possibly return later.
- Include location markers with every IC post you make. That means, putting something like - In Homeroom - with your post. With this vast amount of characters, I'll need an easier way to see where everyone is.
- Map to 'The Asylum'
- There is now a "Three Strikes Rule of Godmodding" for this game. Basically, if you do anything beyond the measure of what you're player can do or that you have previously specified without my permission, that's one strike. This includes everything and anything under the sun that can be construed as godmodding or being a powersinker. This includes: 1) overstepping the boundaries of your power, 2) making your power do something you've never cleared with me, 3) auto-hitting without the direct permission of the target, 4) making another character do something without the permission of its owner unless the situation is determined to be absolutely necessary by a GM, 5) avoiding injury and damage during combat despite the fact your character should've incurred damage, 6) experiencing the damage yet still insisting that your character can barely feel it or can keep going like nothing happened, 7) saying your character knows what another's thinking or doing from across the room when realistically you can't (save certain exceptions, possibly involving telepaths or highly intelligent individuals with eidetic memory and superhuman observational abilities), messing with the creative property of any player's without their express permission, 9) do any sort of action considered a GM only action, and 10) defying the decree of a GM unless the two other Co-GMs deem the decree unreasonable. This list is always subject to change. After three strikes, your character in question is suspended indefinitely, no questions, no excuses.
The CS
Age: (From 15-18, though younger is allowed)
Appearance: (What your character looks like. Hair, eyes, accessories, build, etc. Don't bother with specific clothes. I would expect your characters to regularly change.)
Personality: (How your character acts. This is something that's more for other players, so they can get a feel of what your character's like)
Please PM this section of the CS to me. I want it so that the only way other characters can know about you is through interaction (and so there's room for mystery and surprises). It's only natural Xavier knows, because he can reach into your mind.
History: (How did your character come to the school? I'm not asking it to be long, but don't give me a 'Parents died. Needed place to go' or something)
Other: (anything you feel you need to add on your character)
*Example CS* (some of you might recognize it as an import from NYX)
Name: Kennedy Yang
Age: 25 (not the kind of age you should have)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Kennedy is a fairly fit individual, having impressive muscular definition. He is around 5' 11" in height, and oddly enough for his heritage, piercing blue eyes. As a result of his exposure to darkness, his eyes are large too (though not freakishly so), and his skin is rather pale. His hair is rather long, going slightly past his shoulders. It is jet black color, and usually needlessly drapes over his face. His choice of clothing varies, but he can usually be seen wearing a lot of black. His favorite piece of clothing is, predictably, a black trenchcoat. However, there are times he likes to offset the assumptions made on him and wear unnaturally bright colors.
Personality: Kennedy is a talkative and friendly individual, and incredibly open to almost everything. He truly enjoys teaching, and feels gifted that he is able to instruct the next generation of mutants. His teaching methods usually involve positive reinforcement, but he's been known to use a stern hand wherever he finds necessary. He's known among the original X-Men for his humor and pranks, though these days, his students would rarely see that side of him
Important/Major NPCs
Name: Jimmy (surname is unknown, but being under the legal guardianship of Kennedy, it can be assumed to be "Yang")
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Appearance: Jimmy is about 5' 4" in height, and is of an average weight for his age. His hair is a dark brown, though his head is kept in a state of baldness. Whether this is because he chooses to keep it that way, or because of another intrinsic reason, is unknown. Not even the smallest stubble of hair is ever spotted on his head, besides his eyebrows. His eyes are an incredibly sharp blue, similar to Kennedy's, and also has a similarly pale skin tone. Again, whether this is an intrinsic trait, or because he doesn't spend enough time outside, is unknown. In terms of clothing choice, he often chooses clothes of a lighter shade of colors, so as to not contrast his pale image. Jeans, sweaters, and a beanies are his usual choice of clothing, even during the hotter days of the week.
Personality: Jimmy is typically shy around people he doesn't know, though he is beginning to slowly grow out of it. He hasn't been able to socialize much since coming to the school, since the younger students often shun him. His powers of negation cause unrest with them, and some just fear losing their powers forever if they choose to regularly hang out with him. With the help of current friends, though, that is also changing. Jimmy also lacks a healthy dose of self-confidence, and is prone to doubting himself even during the most crucial of times. However, when the going gets rough, it has been witnessed that he can rise to the occasion, especially when those he care about are in mortal danger. When making a new friend, he can sometimes seem a little eager, doing his best to make the other like him. Once this stage has passed, however, he's just your general 13 year old boy.
Current Status: Active. Resident of the Mansion.
Important Notes: Anyone near him has their powers entirely negated.
Name: Sanjit Hayes
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Sanjit is a young man of mixed heritage, having an Indian mother and an English father. Though his overall facial characteristics are that of a handsome looking Caucasian male, his darker skin tone and black hair reflect his mother's Indian heritage. His eyes are a unique amber color, and don't really call upon either heritage. His hair is generally kept short, and usually stands straight up on its own, extending to about an inch or so. He has a height of 5' 11" and is incredibly muscular for his age, always striving to be as fit as he can possibly be. Though, that's not to say he's bulky, even if his fitness is quite evident even under a sweater. Rather, his build is incredibly defined, giving him the look of a teenager of impressive strength, and not a body builder or Hulk wannabe.
Personality: Sanjit is a big time jokester, and likes to consistently crack puns and other sillies whenever he sees what he considers to be an open invitation. He's also one to play pranks too, though he's always careful not to be cruel when doing so. He likes to have fun, but he's considerate of other people's feelings. As a result, he does his best to only get those he knows can take a joke. Or, better yet, can take the prank and throw it right back at him. Appropriately, he's also very good-natured, and difficult to outright upset with just words or actions. However, he has his pet peeves, and when he irked by them, he can get furious rather quickly.
He is a man who believes "actions speak louder than words", and due to that, he often acts before he thinks things through properly. Which is strange, for when he does speak, he chooses his words carefully and is a polite young man. Unless, of course, he's in his "I just made a punny!" attitude. He's slightly less courteous in such situations, but isn't brash or condescending (even if it seems his jokes are made at the expense of others). There are also times when he can seem bold, speaking his mind or making an inappropriate comment. Though, that's not in paradox to the fact that he chooses his words carefully. He just happens to not care what others think of what he has to say.
Current Status: Active. Is a student at the Academy.
Important Notes: Sanjit has a notably British accent. His power has been observed to be superhuman strength, high durability, and possibly a healing factor. The levels of his strength are not known, but he once boasted he could easily pick up a car. However, an extreme consequence of using his powers is that he is quick to fall asleep after a certain amount of their use. His metabolism is also incredibly fast, and usually eats a lot, especially after falling asleep from overused powers.
Name: "Toad" (real name unknown)
Age: Unknown. Possibly 17.
Gender: Male
Appearance: Toad is around 5' 9", and rather scrawny at a glance. The most interesting trait of his is that his skin is a pale green color, making him look almost consistently sickly. Aside from his obviously strange skin pigmentation his back is usually always hunched over a great deal, his hair is black and comes down just past his ears, he has only four fingers on his hands, and his eyes are rather bulging and freakish. They are also a rather animal-like yellow color, which was further augmented by the scowl that usually adorns his face. He isn't particularly hideous, though, nor is he remotely good looking. He just looks like one of those unique individuals you can't quite staring at sometimes.
Personality: Details are lacking in this department, but thus far, he has proven to be disagreeable and prone to making threats he can never quite come through with. He's also quick to anger, and even easier to provoke into violence. Being captured and all, no other side has really been seen of him.
Current Status: Active. Has escaped from the Mansion. Whereabouts unknown.
Important Notes: He's got a British accent.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Perseverance pays off for Maguire
Monday, December 10, 2012
DURHAM — Perseverance separates good runners from great runners. Keely Maguire is the epitome of striving above obstacles in order to achieve greatness.
Nevertheless, Maguire's stellar fall campaign did not come without years of hardship and subsequent determination, starting with an injury before even coming to Durham. During her senior year at Triton High School she was diagnosed with Compartment Syndrome, an exercise-induced and painful neuromuscular injury that caused swelling and pressure in both of her legs.
Maguire's character was tested yet again the following cross country season when her sophomore campaign was hindered due to IT Band Syndrome. Distance runners are especially prone to the injury, which causes knee pain due to the inflammation of the IT band that stretches from the pelvis to the shin.
"Reliving the season, I had to push to come back early and just be competitive. Looking back, it was like a dream," said Maguire, who went on to qualify for NCAA Championships one week later. "My goal was always to qualify for the Outdoor Track Championships, I never thought it would happen in cross country."
"She has overcome injuries and obstacles that most people would retire for. Most people wouldn't still be running. And instead of just simply running, she is actually winning championships as well. It is pretty remarkable," said Hoppler.
Maguire has made quite a name for herself at UNH, and the list of accomplishments is still growing as she heads into her final indoor and outdoor track seasons. The two-time conference track champion most recently qualified for the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field East Preliminary in the 10,000 meters for the second straight season. She also captured her second New England title last spring with a first-place finish in the 1,500 meters.
Her coach's teachings and her own experiences have molded Maguire into an exemplary leader. As for Hoppler, he believes it comes down to commitment. |

Women have grown, groomed and decorated their fingernails for over 5000 years – From the women of Ancient Egypt to the nail salon industry that flourished during the 80s and 90s, nail trends have had authority over beauty regimes across regions and eras.

Grooming your fingernails parallels the act of using cosmetics, it exhibits self-expression and character.

Have you ever wondered how museums collect their treasured artefacts? You probably know that many objects are generously donated to such cultural centres. But do you know the story or the provenance (the record of origin and history of ownership) behind these objects? The ROM is full of interesting acquisition stories—many of which can be found in the Curatorial departments and the Library & Archives. This is just one…

Exactly as designed.
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Cards Loved the Save the Date card. However, I obviously didn't look at the size. They are the size of a thick book mark. I was hoping for the size of a postcard. They however, are exactly as I designed and the colors perfect. Very happy with the Save the Date other than the size, which was my fault.
Just what I wanted
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Magnets Everything came neatly organized in a nice box. The color was exactly what I had pictured and the quality seems really good. I really like the personalization of the product but wish more options were available for the ceremony/invitations as the products in autumn stamp were limited compared to some other designs.
Great Save-the-Date Magnet
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Magnets I orderd my save-the-date magnets and they turned out amazing. I got a smaller size to save in price and this Magnet Street seemed to be the only site that I could find with this smaller size option. It was very easy to add personalization to the magnet and they came out exactly as I had expected.

Clif Shot Energy Gel
Clif Shot Energy Gel has fewer ingredients than other brands, but more of what your body needs most for clean natural energy. The streamlined approach gives you a performance advantage with a fast-acting energy source from organic maltodextrin and organic evaporated cane juice and with more essential electrolytes.
Generally, performance athletes need to consume 200-400 calories per hour from all sources, such as gels, chewables, bars and drinks. We recommend 1-3 gels per hour to help support these needs.
First time using gel. Good packaging. Easy to use. I'm going to try something other than Razz next time. Have to get used to consistency.
Easy to carry, consume and digest for an on-ride boost of energy. My favorite flavor is the Double Espresso. It has a great taste and includes a shot of caffeine to help get you going. The only down-side is getting rid of the packaging responsibly -- put it in your pocket and then your pocket get gooey.
defenitly have their place - when you don't want to stop and chew and f/ or fill your gut with a solid bar...
I didn't believe in gels ("that's not real food") until I got some for free at cross races, and ate one 15 minutes or so before. Definitely felt the difference. Especially with the caffeinated ones - watch out, the different flavors have varying amounts of caffiene.
i realize that the caloric value of these type products in usually the more important aspect, but i hate choking down goo that taste like birthday cake icing. the berry and coffee flavors are very good. but then again, most everything clif puts out is good.

Paul Beard: Huge Supreme Court Win for Property Owners
For nearly 20 years, a water management district in Orange County, Florida, has been making extortionate demands of a Florida family who want to develop a small portion of their land. The family has refused to give in to the demands, and now the U.S. Supreme Court has declared they don't have to. Paul Beard, the attorney who argued the case for the Koontz family, discusses the implications of the ruling and the new protections property owners have against overly demanding local, state and federal governments.

Helpful Hints and How-To's For Keeping Your Pet Safe, Happy and Healthy for a Lifetime
Myxomatous Mitral Valve Degeneration: The Most Common Acquired Heart Disease in Dogs
Auburn, Alabama —
Myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (MMVD) is the most common acquired heart disease in dogs. MMVD is a disease that results from changes in the structure of the mitral valve. These structural changes lead to inappropriate closure of the valve and leakage of blood from the left ventricle backward into the left atrium when the heart is contracting.
Initial diagnosis of MMVD generally consists of auscultation (listening to body sounds with a stethoscope) of a heart murmur over the area of the mitral valve on physical examination. The diagnosis is confirmed using a combination of thoracic x-rays and echocardiography (ultrasound examination of the heart). Additional diagnostics such as blood pressure, ECG, and evaluation of renal function are recommended on a case by case basis.
Most dogs with MMVD are asymptomatic for a long period of time however a percentage of dogs with this disease will develop signs consistent with heart disease such as exercise intolerance and coughing, and will progress to left sided congestive heart failure (fluid build-up in the lungs). Signs of heart failure may include progressively worsening cough, exercise intolerance, increased resting breathing rate and/or effort, and weakness or collapse. If your pet is suspected of having MMVD consult with your veterinarian about a referral to a veterinary Cardiologist. Evaluation of patients with heart disease by a board certified Cardiologist will help to determine if medical treatment is indicated, and will provide you with the tools needed to recognize congestive heart failure early.
For questions about mitral valve degeneration, contact Dr. Sara Bordelon or Dr. Seungwoo Jung. Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, 334-844-4690.

Detailed instructions and FAQs are also available on the home page of the ESS Annual Data online application under the Common Logon. Information was also sent out via the special education director list serv on 4/8/2014, and is available below.
FY 2014 Annual Special Education Data Collection
The Annual Special Education Data Collection consists of the following sections: Exit, Discipline, Personnel, Teacher Attrition Rate Survey, Preschool Transition (if applicable), Parentally Placed Private School Students (if applicable), and Secure Care Survey (if applicable).
Please see Annual SPED Data Collection Alert FY14 for detailed information.
All PEAs are required to complete the Annual Special Education Data Collection requirement each year. Please see timeline below for specific dates.
OSEP requires the Annual Special Education Data Collection information in order for Arizona to receive Part B IDEA funding. Therefore, failure to promptly submit your PEA's data may cause an interruption of your federal funds and may also impact your PEA Determination.
Monday, April 28, 2014 | ESS Annual Data online application opens |
Tuesday, July 8, 2014 @ 5:00pm | Deadline for submitting discipline data to Az SAFE |
Monday, August 4, 2014 | Final Submit process begins within the ESS Annual Data online application; manual corrections to special education discipline data can be made |
Friday, August 15, 2014 | Deadline for completing the Final Submit process and making any manual corrections to SPED discipline data; signature form due to ESS Data Management |
Exit Data Extract from SAIS
The exit data report will be refreshed bi-weekly, based on the SAIS integrity processing schedule (available on IT Bulletin Board). All SPED exit data must be submitted by June 30, 2014. This data will be finalized after the FY14 Statewide Recalculation scheduled for July 16, 2014.

As in the past, ASDB will continue to report its personnel by FTE, respond to the Teacher Attrition Rate Survey, and report discipline (via Az SAFE) and exit data (via SAIS) for students to be extracted and reported out in the application.
Final Submission
The final submission process will commence on Monday, August 4, 2014, and signature forms are due to ADE/ESS by Friday, August 15, 2014. During this time period, PEAs will have the opportunity to complete any outstanding agency reports, review exit and discipline reports, proceed with the final submission process (which will allow PEAs to confirm the accuracy of their discipline report and elect to do manual corrections to discipline data if necessary), and submit the required signature form. Note that the final submission process is currently undergoing revisions. The relevant technical assistance documents will be updated when finalized.

1 Game broken on PS3GSM187 | 06/12/2011 | See all GSM187's reviews (1)Works fine for a while, but after some playtime you will get severe gamebreaking framerate drops and freezes... The 360 version has the same issues as well, but they take a while longer to get as bad as on the PS3... 80 hours in, level 31, game is now unplayable....DO NOT BUY THIS FOR THE PS3!
5 Best game i have ever played.Hievery1 | 01/02/2012 | See all Hievery1's reviews (2)I have played well over 100 hours on this game, have a level 50 character, and have save files well over 10 mega-bytes. I have seen no such "slide-show" lag, aside from the odd stutter every now and then the game runs as smoothly as any other. I absolutely loved this game and cannot wait till the DLC's come out!
1 Beware!!!Slarth | 14/12/2011 | See all Slarth's reviews (2)This game has quite a few game breaking bugs which include the frame rate dropping so low it becomes a slide show, quests your unable to finish, the game crashing forcing your to restore & check for corrupted data but to name a few. So far there's no sign of a patch to fix these, avoid at all costs. It's a shame because it's a great game.
3 The most overrated game ever.ZiggyVoltage | 28/12/2011 | See all ZiggyVoltage's reviews (10)The game is good till you reach about level 30. Then you realise how much time you've wasted on it and think, jeez I have better stuff to do than constantly hack at a dragon, or make shed loads of leather armour just so i can get my smithing skill up.The environments are good but after a while you don't really care for walking places as it's all the same, just look out your window if you want good scenes. Eventually you just start fast travelling everywhere, like you get a quest that in reality would take quite some time cos you have to walk there but nah, just fast travel grab whatever's in the cave and blurt. max time of about 15 minutes, try doing that 100 times, get's kinda boring.I'm level 40 odd now and regret asking for it for a bday gift cos i'd feel bad trading it in. It's so boring at this stage, nothing is a challenge and I don't even have the best equipment. All I find myself doing is shouting people off cliffs cos it's kinda fun watching them fall down.Not forgetting the countless glitches, and the annoying way your character kinda slides across the floor cos walking is just to uncool for this game.yeah basically not a very engaging game after a while and you'll regret the hours you spent playing it when you could be getting some real action. I actually give it two stars.Peace x
2 Avoid like the plague. It wont be patched for weeks.Rimmer72 | 14/12/2011 | See all Rimmer72's reviews (53)Let me be honest from the off - this game is broken and should never have been released. I bought the PS3 version as a gift but now have to return it. The game is virtually unplayable. Anyone who says otherwise has not played it for more than 30 hours (it is supposed to last 300). The problem is partly down to the PS3 and the reason that the 360 is less afffected. The PS3 has less memory performance than the 360 and although its processor is more powerful the memory is what is used to buffer everything. Once Saves get bigger than 5mb the problem starts and once they get to 10 its like watching a slideshow. The game stutters badly and you can barely move. It has been patched about 3 times but still not fixed. Worryingly the fact it is a hardware limitation means some are speculating it can never be fixed without rebuilding it from the ground up. I strongly advise avoiding this and either buy something else, the 360 version, or save the money til the Game of The Year version is out! Seriously this is all over BBC technology pages, forums and may be the reason the price dropped so quickly. Its a class A game that should be the best thing ever released on PS3 but right now you are throwing your money away. The patch file to fix this is going to be huge!

Vertebrobasilar circulatory disorders are conditions in which blood supply to the back of the brain is disrupted.
Vertebrobasilar insufficiency; Posterior circulation ischemia
Three main blood vessels provide blood flow to the back of the brain:
This part of the brain contains structures that are crucial for keeping a person alive, such as breathing, heart rate, swallowing, vision, movement, and posture or balance.
Many different conditions may cause blood flow in the back part of the brain to be reduced or stopped. The most common are smoking, highblood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. These are similar to the risk factors for any stroke .
Vertebrobasilar vascular disorders may also be caused by a tear (dissection) in an artery wall.
Other less common causes of vertebrobasilar vascular disorders include connective tissue diseases and vasculitis.
Most common symptoms may include:
Other symptoms that may occur include:
Tests depend on the possible underlying cause, but may include:
Sudden onset of vertebrobasilar symptoms is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Treatment is similar to that for stroke .
Treatment and prevention may include:
The outlook depends on:
Each person has a different recovery time and need forlong-term care. Problems with moving, thinking, and talking often improve in the first weeks or months after a stroke. Some people will keep improving months or years after a stroke.
Complications of vertebrobasilar circulatory disorders are stroke and its complications. The complications of stroke include:
Patients may have vision loss in one eye.
Complications caused by medications or surgery may also occur.
Call 911 or your local emergency number, or get to the emergency room if you have any symptoms that may suggest a vertebrobasilar circulatory disorder.

Editor's note: Mark Whitaker is executive vice president and managing editor of CNN Worldwide. He is responsible for leading editorial coverage across CNN's multiple platforms and directing the overall approach, tone and scope of CNN's reporting.
(CNN) -- To watch Whitney Houston's powerful "home going" service on Saturday was to be reminded that she was a one-of-a-kind talent, with a divine instrument that even in death soared above all the other famous voices that gathered at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, to celebrate her. But sadly, Houston was a dime a dozen in another aspect of her life: her dependence on drugs and alcohol.
As anyone who has struggled with it or had a loved one who did can tell you, addiction does not discriminate based on talent or fame or wealth or race. It's an equal-opportunity curse and killer. I know, because I saw my father, another groundbreaking black talent of his time, brought low by it, a tragic story of brilliance and decline and the pain it can inflict on children and family that took me decades to find the strength to tell.
In the media, celebrity and addiction is all too often served up only as a tabloid cocktail of scandal and gossip. But in the wake of Houston's death, we at CNN have decided to pay one last tribute to her by devoting this week to a series of In Depth stories and discussions about what can be done to fight the scourge of addiction.
We start with Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. In appearances on "Starting Point" with Soledad O'Brien and our daytime "CNN Newsroom" shows, he will examine the latest breakthroughs in the brain science and biology of addiction and how they have given rise to promising new anti-substance abuse drugs.
Throughout the week, Dr. Drew Pinsky will share his wisdom about the keys to beating addiction and the lessons of Whitney Houston's fall on his own prime-time show on our sister network, HLN.
Celebrities and prescription drug addiction
We will hear from former addicts about how they turned their lives around, including TV sports anchor Pat O'Brien, who is sitting down with Piers Morgan, and ex-NBA great Chris Herren, who is talking to Brooke Baldwin.
We will also air a series of stories about the fastest growing form of addiction in America: prescription drugs, from "gateway pills" like Adderall to heavy duty painkillers like Vicodin and Oxycontin. As Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr reports, the U.S. military this month announced it would start testing troops for hydrocodone (the base of Vicodin) and benzodiazepine, the key ingredient in Valium. When the military, usually the institutional gold standard in dealing with medical and psychological issues, goes that far, you know we have an epidemic on our hands.
Abuse of legal drugs is also an increasing source of accidental deaths, a subject that our medical team plans to follow up on in the coming months. None of us needs to wait for Whitney Houston's toxicology reports to know that more needs to be done to combat the evils that took her from us so soon, or that we all have a responsibility to join the fight.

Black Josephine Desk
I love this desk
This desk is the perfect size for a home office. I love the design & craftsmanship. It has a beautiful satin black finish and looks expensive. I did put a piece of shatterproof glass on top where I write because I had it on hand from my previous desk. The keyboard/drawer offers lots of space for storage & flips down for convenience. I do have a separate filing cabinet with a drawer for additional drop files & paper storage. I keep my printer on top of that cabinet. My modem fits perfectly on the floor between the file cabinet & the desk & doesn't look cluttered. This desk can be used in any setting whether masculine or feminine. The style reminds me of the high end Ernest Hemingway collection. The only assembly is attaching the crossed legs to the bottom of the desktop: 3 pieces. It took 10 minutes from start to finish. That included taking the box & packaging materials to the trash. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a beautiful desk in a black finish.
December 9, 2013
Love this desk!
I really love this desk! It has such a good clean look and I very comfortable. I am redoing the my whole office so this was a great addition.
After ordering it came within two days and was super easy to put together. I would highly recommend this product!
December 3, 2013
Very nice
Easy to put together. I like that the keyboard "drawer" can be either used for the keyboard, or used as a drawer. Looks very simple and clean. Good product for the price.
December 1, 2013
Great Buy!
This desk was a great buy! Even better it came within 2 days of me purchasing it! Easy to assemble, simple looking, and definitely worth the price!
November 29, 2013
Beautiful desk for small spaces!
I bought this since I wanted to downsize my office space from a large desk to this one. This was the perfect fit and very price comparable to any competition with more value. I'm always a fan of WM furniture and this did not disappoint. I love it!
January 25, 2013
This is what we were looking for!!
This is the table that we were looking for! simply love it's look! Was very easy to assemble and for the price it looks expansive.
