The blood vessels that bring blood to your brain and face are called the carotid arteries. You have a carotid artery on each side of your neck.
The blood flow in this artery can become partly or totally blocked by fatty material called plaque. A partial blockage is called carotid artery stenosis (narrowing). A blockage in your carotid artery can reduce the blood supply to your brain. A stroke can occur if your brain does not get enough blood.
Two procedures can be used to treat a carotid artery that is narrowed or blocked. These are:
Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is done using a small surgical cut.
Carotid angioplasty and stenting; CAS; Angioplasty - carotid artery
Carotid surgery (endarterectomy ) is the first choice for treating narrowed or blocked arteries. This procedure is very safe.
Carotid angioplasty and stenting carries a higher risk of leading to a stroke. However, it can be used as an alternative in situations where carotid surgery is not a good option. These may include:
Risks of carotid angioplasty and stent placement are:
Your doctor will do a physical exam and perform several medical tests.
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
Do NOT drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery, including water.
On the day of your surgery:
After surgery, your doctor may want you to stay in the hospital overnight so that nurses can watch you for any signs of bleeding, stroke, or poor blood flow to your brain. You may be able to go home the same day if your procedure is done early in the day and you are doing well. Your nurse will talk to you about how to care for yourself at home.
Carotid artery angioplasty may help lower your chance of having a stroke. But you will need to make lifestyle changes to help prevent plaque buildup, blood clots, and other problems in your carotid arteries over time. You may need to change your diet and start an exercise program if your doctor tells you exercise is safe for you.

SHAWNEE, Okla. – In a nail biter in the Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament, the fourth-seeded Drovers came out on top of fifth-seeded Lubbock Christian 66-63 at Oklahoma Baptist's Noble Complex in Shawnee.
"It was a good win. I knew it would be a tough game," Head Coach Brisco McPherson said. "We did enough to pull it out, and we'll play tomorrow and see how that goes."
CHICKASHA – As the women's basketball season at USAO winds down, the Drover coaches are looking heavily at recruits and focusing on off-season preparations, said assistant coach Leandra Johnson.
With seven seniors leaving, Johnson said they are directing their efforts on athletes coming out of two-year schools to bring in maturity.
"We are going to be looking for a lot of junior college transfers and then we will pick up some freshmen," she said.

Students, staff and faculty left the dorms and classrooms and headed into the community to make Chickasha a better place to live as Drover Difference Day entered its third year at the University of Science and Arts.
Since early humans first began to capture their impressions of the world around them in charcoal on the walls of caves, the urge to create art has been bound up in religious and spiritual impulses.
Though modern art addresses secular interests more than in times past, the history of art — whether painting, literature, poetry or music — has been woven into the history of religion.
Four scholars will come together for a panel discussion about the role of Christianity in history and art beginning at 2 p.m. on March 7 in the USAO Ballroom as part of the 7th Annual Emerson-Wier Liberal Arts Symposium at the University of Science and Arts.
SHAWNEE, Okla. – Despite a season-high performance by one player and 22 points by another, the Drovers couldn't overcome Mid-America Christian in the Sooner Athletic Conference tournament and fell 69-64.
"I thought our second half effort was much better. I thought we came out fairly sluggish in the first half," Head Coach Jennifer Hayden said. "We had difficulty connecting from the three-point line, and that's a big part of our game."
CHICKASHA – USAO swept the Sooner Athletic Conference Softball Player and Pitcher of the Week honors after a strong doubleheader against Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College last week. Morgan Bratcher, who threw a no-hitter, was named SAC Pitcher of the Week while teammate Taylor Smith was named SAC Player of the Week. Taylor Smith In the two games of the week, which were both shutouts, Smith batted .875, smashing the ball seven times in of her eight at bats.
CHICKASHA – After a strong sweep over Bethany College, Drovers took both Sooner Athletic Conference Player of the Week awards. Centerfielder Brian Vigo was named SAC Player of the Week, while Seth Sturgeon earned conference Pitcher of the Week honors. Seth Sturgeon Sturgeon led the Drovers to a complete game shutout in the third and final game of the series. In his seven innings on the mound, he allowed just three hits while throwing a total of seven strikeouts. Additionally, he walked just two batters.
Oklahoma artists are invited to participate in the annual Montmartre judged sidewalk chalk art festival on the campus of the University of Science and Arts in Chickasha on April 4.
The Oklahoma Federation of Music Clubs (OFMC) district competition is scheduled to take place at the University of Science and Arts in Chickasha on Saturday.

Those were laws and prescribed punishment for breaking those laws. We have a similar system now, with laws and punishments. That is hardly the same thing as an open ended order to kill anyone who does not accept Islam. That is just a free license to murder anyone who disagrees with you.

Every Type of Chocolate
Taste your way through the wonderful world of chocolate, from ultra-dark baking bars to super-sweet treats. And be sure to check out a photo flipbook of our favorite decadent chocolate treats.
By Quick & Simple Staff
Unsweetened Chocolate
This bitter bar is 100 percent cacao (entirely derived from the cocoa bean) with no added sugar. It's used primarily for baking, and is generally considered too harsh and "chalky" tasting for plain old eating.
Get recipes that use unsweetened chocolate
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Dark Chocolate
This one has three categories: unsweetened (no sugar at all), bittersweet (a hint of sweetness), and semisweet (the sweetest of the bunch). The higher the percentage of cacao (it's usually printed on the label), the less added sugar, which means a more bitter flavor.

Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Bittersweet Chocolate
This strong-tasting dark chocolate must contain at least 35 percent unsweetened cacao, but you'll often find bars with much higher percentages (Ghirardelli's Extra Bittersweet Baking Bar contains 70 percent). The remaining ingredients are sugar, vanilla and often soy lecithin (an emulsifier). Bittersweet chocolate is great for baking as well as eating, particularly if you're a fan of the dark stuff.

Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Semisweet Chocolate
There's more added sugar in semisweet chocolate than bittersweet — it's usually just 35 to 45 percent cacao. Semisweet chocolate is sold as bars as well as chips and is a common choice for cookies, brownies, and other baked goodies.

German Chocolate
This baking chocolate (a bit sweeter than semisweet, but still dark) has nothing to do with Germany — it was developed by a man named Sam German in 1852 for Baker's Chocolate Company. It's a key ingredient in gooey, coconut-laced German chocolate cake, but you can substitute bittersweet or semisweet chocolate with equally delicious results.

Milk Chocolate
The classic melt-in-your-mouth treat, milk chocolate is comprised of at least 10 percent unsweetened chocolate and 12 percent milk solids, as well as cocoa butter, sugar, and other flavorings. You'll notice that a bar of milk chocolate doesn't "snap" when you break it the same way dark chocolate does; the less cacao content, the less snap.

Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
White Chocolate
While it comes from the cacao plant, white chocolate is not really chocolate (it doesn't contain any cocoa solids, hence the lack of brown color). But it does contain 20 percent cocoa butter (the fat extracted from the beans), which makes it rich, creamy, and slightly chocolaty tasting.

Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Cocoa Powder
This pulverized, unsweetened chocolate is what results from pressing the cocoa butter from the center of the bean. There are two main types: natural (nonalkalized) and Dutch-processed (alkalized). Dutch-processed is milder-tasting, but doesn't react with baking soda, since its natural acids have been neutralized. If a recipe specifies the kind of cocoa to use, it's probably for a good reason, and therefore best not to substitute.

Drug-induced hypertension is high blood pressure caused by using a chemical substance, drug, or medication.
See also: High blood pressure
Hypertension - medication related
Blood pressure is determined by the:
There are several types of high blood pressure.
Drugs that can cause hypertension include:
Rebound hypertension occurs when blood pressure rises after you stop taking or lower the dose of a drug (typically a high blood pressure medication).
Many other factors can also affect blood pressure, including:
The symptoms of drug-induced hypertension are the same as those of primary hypertension, and may include:
Note: Hypertension usually has no symptoms.
The health care provider will ask you questions about your use of drugs known to affect blood pressure measurement.
Repeated blood pressure measurements can confirm the diagnosis. Blood pressure that is consistently high is considered hypertension.
Two factors determine blood pressure measurements. Systolic blood pressure is the "top" number. It measures the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure is the "bottom" number. It is the pressure in blood vessels when the heart is at rest.
Normal blood pressure is defined as a systolic (top) pressure of less than 120 mmHg, and a diastolic (bottom) pressure of less than 80 mmHg. A consistent rate of more than 140 mmHg systolic and more than 90 mmHg diastolic is considered high blood pressure.
Systolic BP between 130 and 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP between 80 and 90 mmHg are considered pre-hypertension.
Blood tests may be done to determine the levels of medications that may be causing the high blood pressure.
The goal of treatment is to reduce your blood pressure to below 140/90 (below 130/80 if you have diabetes or kidney disease). This will lower the risk of complications.
If possible, stop taking the substance that caused your hypertension. Your health care provider may adjust your treatment if your current medications are causing hypertension and you cannot stop taking these drugs.
Medications that may be used to lower blood pressure include:
Have your blood pressure checked regularly (as recommended by your health care provider) to monitor its response to treatment.
Lifestyle changes may be recommended, including:
Drug-induced hypertension is usually controllable with treatment. Treatment may need to be changed periodically.
Complications of untreated hypertension can include:
If you have high blood pressure, you will have regularly scheduled appointments with your doctor.
In between appointments, call your health care provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms:
Be careful when taking any medication. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist about the effects, and whether the medication might interact with other drugs you are taking (even over-the-counter medications).
In people with hypertension, lowering salt (sodium) intake may be recommended. Products containing sodium (such as salt, MSG, and baking soda) may cause or worsen high blood pressure in some people.
If your doctor suspects drug-induced hypertension, it is important to discuss all drug use -- including alcohol and other recreational drugs -- so that the condition can be properly diagnosed.

I am looking for information on this however I've found it difficult to locate information regarding this situation for Indiana.
I am in the process of an eviction of my tenant. We filed last week. We think there is a possibility that they may have abandoned the property since then. If we can verify that they have packed up and left my question is would I be within my rights to secure the property by changing the locks if I can prove that they have vacated? I want to proceed with the eviction however I don't want this to jeopardize my case.
I found this, however the way that it is written is somewhat confusing for me to understand.
Due to the section I have put in bold I'm finding it difficult to understand what rights in an abandonment/eviction situation I may have to secure my property to keep my property safe. (Right now I have some concerns based on recent knowledge I have obtained.) I do not want to assume and then get to court and then I'm stuck in a bad situation however I don't want my property damaged or stolen either which appears to be possible it could happen.
Landlord prohibited from interfering with access, possession, or essential services; unit entry by landlord
Sec. 6. (a) This section does not apply if the dwelling unit has been abandoned.
(b) For purposes of this section, a dwelling unit is considered abandoned if:
(1) the tenants have failed to:
(A) pay; or
(B) offer to pay;
rent due under the rental agreement; and
(2) the circumstances are such that a reasonable person would conclude that the tenants have surrendered possession of the dwelling unit.
An oral or written rental agreement may not define abandonment differently than is provided by this subsection.
(c) Except as authorized by judicial order, a landlord may not deny or interfere with a tenant's access to or possession of the tenant's dwelling unit by commission of any act, including the following:
(1) Changing the locks or adding a device to exclude the tenant from the dwelling unit.
(2) Removing the doors, windows, fixtures, or appliances from the dwelling unit.
(3) Interrupting, reducing, shutting off, or causing termination of any of the following to a tenant:
(A) Electricity.
(B) Gas.
(C) Water.
(D) Other essential services.
However, the landlord may interrupt, shut off, or terminate service as the result of an emergency, good faith repairs, or necessary construction. This subdivision does not require a landlord to pay for services described in this subdivision if the landlord has not agreed, by an oral or written rental agreement, to do so.
(d) A tenant may not interrupt, reduce, shut off, or cause termination of:
(1) electricity;
(2) gas;
(3) water; or
(4) other essential services;

Myra majored in Fashion Illustration at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. Myra's love for art developed as a child at the age of five when she won a coloring contest in The New York Daily News. She knew then that her passion was to share her talent for creating and painting colors, bright and bold, soft and enticing, all blending in various forms of art. Creating became her life; it also saved her life.
She was struck down 5 years later with a devastating bout of polio. She was completely paralyzed and with years of braces, crutches and painful therapy, she clung to her passion for colors and her art. Her determination and desire to succeed led her to her recovery.
Myra studied fine art at the prestigious High School of Music and Art.. Upon graduation she received a full scholarship to The Fashion Institute of Technology where she studied fashion illustration. She spent 20 years in the corporate world of cosmetics where her career in marketing and sales flourished. She was instrumental in creating colors for women. She then returned to The Fashion Institute of Technology where she received a degree in millinery design. Myra then went on to design millinery for some of the world's renowned fashion designers for over 10 years. Her fine art paintings in oil and acrylic have been on display throughout southeast Florida.
Myra believes creating on any level is like breathing. It lifts the spirit, while at the same time it validates and builds individual self-confidence. Through her personal experiences working with business professionals during her life's journey, she has learned many valuable lessons. These lessons have guided her on her path to success. While she will always deal on a daily basis with the physical impact polio has had on her body, her mind and mental energy has grown stronger. Her mission is helping others find their strengths, passion, and creativity, while maintaining a true sense of humor about life.

Let's just pretend for a moment that the shroud is the real deal. Ok, the bible suggests that the cloths were found in undisturbed condition... as though the body they were around simply disappeared (as opposed to Jesus getting up and physically shedding the garments.
Now, the way I alwasy imagined it is, Jesus' body turned to white light and ascended. That idea is completely consistent with the condition of this shroud because had Jesus turned to a brilliant light, it would probably leave something akin to radition burns behind as it as the light ascended through the cloth.

Life Is Beautiful (La vita e bella)
Drama, Comedy
The film is a Chaplinesque fable about the power of imagination set against the stark reality of World War II Europe. The film combines satire, physical comedy, social commentary and a touch of the surreal into a uniquely moving story of love. At the center of the fable is Guido, an enchanting individual with childlike innocence and grand dreams of owning his own book shop. It's 1939, and he has come to the Tuscan town of Arrezzo with his poet friend Ferruccio. With unabashed humor and joy, the two seek fortune and romance, ignoring the growing anti-Semitism and Fascist government that surrounds them. Guido falls in love with Dora, a beautiful young school teacher, and a fairy tale romance ensues.

October 2012 Equity Market Review
By Natalie Trunow, Chief Investment Officer, Equities, Calvert Investment Management, Inc.
CIO, Equities
The global macroeconomic backdrop continued to negatively impact equity markets in October. With the excitement of the QE3 announcement wearing off and uncertainties about the U.S. earnings season, the presidential election, and the impending fiscal cliff setting in, investors took profits in equities during the month.
For the month of October, the Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned -1.85%, -1.69%, -2.17%, 0.84%, and -0.60%, respectively. Value stocks held up better than growth stocks during the month with the Russell 1000 Value Index declining 0.49% compared to the Russell 1000 Growth Index's drop of 2.92%. Value stocks now lead growth stocks year-to-date for the first time this year.
Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Utilities, and Industrials were the top-performing sectors with Financials and Utilities the only sectors in positive territory for the month. Information Technology, Telecommunication Services, and Energy sectors lagged.
The U.S. Corporate Earnings Season Mixed So Far
As we anticipated, the ongoing U.S. earnings season has proved to be less than stellar and unable to provide a sufficient boost to the market that would help sustain the magnitude of the momentum created by the announcement of QE3 by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September. Large U.S. companies continued to face headwinds in their profits linked to the eurozone and some of the largest emerging-market economies, like China and Brazil.
Through the end of October, 64% of companies in the S&P 500 had reported third-quarter earnings with 66% beating expectations. That said, reported earnings were down 1.2% on a year-over-year basis and top-line numbers were weaker than expected with just 37% of companies beating consensus estimates and revenues down 2.3% from the same period one year ago. If top-line growth continues to be a challenge going forward, earnings will likely stay under pressure in the fourth quarter.
Gradual Economic Recovery in U.S. Continues
Data released during the month indicated improvements in the employment picture with continuing jobless claims trending down, a positive sign for future improvement in unemployment statistics. As of the time of this writing, the release of the October jobs report showed more workers added to payrolls than anticipated, though the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9% due to more people entering the labor force, a byproduct of improving conditions.
After posting softer numbers for the previous three quarters, the U.S. manufacturing sector started to show signs of improvement. The U.S. ISM Manufacturing Index unexpectedly increased in October as manufacturing activity expanded for a second consecutive month. However, uncertainty surrounding the impending fiscal cliff and the global economic slowdown continued to impact exports, causing few market participants to expect further acceleration of manufacturing activity in the coming months.
Vehicle sales remained strong as interest rates on new-car loans fell to the lowest on record with QE3 appearing to be having the intended effect of pushing down interest rates. Residential construction posted solid gains, but this was more than offset by declines in commercial and government construction projects. With inflation staying low, the U.S. service sector recovery helped real GDP increase at a 2% annualized rate in the third quarter on a quarter-over-quarter basis, exceeding expectations.
Strong signs of recovery in the U.S. housing market, the slowly improving employment picture, and good performance in the equity markets year-to-date seemed to be making a positive impact on American consumers. Consumer confidence reached its highest level in five years while consumer spending has also been increasing, giving us confidence that U.S. equity markets can continue to perform well in the long-run.
In the short-term, however, we are likely to see some softness and volatility in the equity markets as the fiscal cliff in the United States continues to loom. Despite reports surfacing during the month that bipartisan discussions were ongoing, a credible solution supported by both political parties does not appear to be forthcoming quite yet, and some market participants commented that risks resulting from the fiscal cliff were not yet reflected in market prices.
Data Shows Improvements in U.S. Housing Market
The U.S. housing market has now been recovering, however mildly, for several months. As we commented for the past several months, we believe that the U.S. housing market can provide a significant positive catalyst for U.S. economic growth and help offset some of the softness in the manufacturing sector. Our contention from last year that the U.S. housing sector had started to recover is now supported by multiple data points. Confidence among home builders rose to its highest level since June 2006 while housing starts reached a four-year high in September. Sales of new and existing homes continued to increase while the inventory of homes for sale has been tightening, both of which have helped to push home prices higher.
Mortgage rates dropped to new record lows, helped by QE3. At the same time, mortgage credit standards remained tight with banks fearful of taking on riskier loans because they could be forced to take back non-performing loans by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Eurozone Recession Drags On
The eurozone continued to provide a negative backdrop for equity markets with core European economies impacted by the region's economic troubles. Eurozone Manufacturing PMI fell deeper into contraction territory in October and the Composite PMI reached its lowest level since June 2009, confirming our suspicion that things in Europe will likely get worse before they get better—though the market consensus seems to be quite a bit more optimistic than that.
There were some improvements on the sovereign debt side. Yields on government debt of peripheral eurozone countries, including Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, and Greece, continued to drop during the month as the European Central Bank's pledge to buy the sovereign debt of countries under severe fiscal stress has helped restore some investor confidence in the eurozone bond market. While this is a welcome sign, questions surrounding a Spanish bailout request (required in order to activate the ECB bond-buying program) remained unresolved and the ability of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) to lend directly to Spanish banks has been called into question.
Meanwhile, Greece continued to wait for a decision from international creditors on whether the next tranche of aid will be released and whether the country will be provided an extension to meet deficit targets. Although recent reports suggested that international creditors were planning to disburse bailout funds to Greece, the timing was still unclear and political turmoil within Greece's coalition government could derail voting on the latest international austerity program.
China's Economy Stabilizing but Hard Landing Still Possible
Data released during the month seemed to suggest China's economy may be stabilizing; however, it is not out of the woods yet and with the global economic slowdown still in place, a hard landing for the Chinese economy remains a possibility. If this scenario materializes, global economic growth will be negatively impacted.
Bank lending has been picking up with some of the recently enacted easing measures flowing through the Chinese economy, while inflation remained tame, leaving room for further policy easing if warranted. China's HSBC Manufacturing PMI rose to an eight-month high in October, although it was still in contraction territory. The official Chinese Manufacturing PMI moved into expansion territory for the first time since July. However, foreign direct investment (FDI) continued to decline. China's third-quarter real GDP increased 7.4% on a year-over-year basis, the slowest rate of expansion for the Chinese economy since the first quarter of 2009.
The current weakness in the equity markets is consistent with our outlook over the past several weeks, and we continue to see potential softness and volatility in the equity markets in the upcoming weeks given the uncertainties arising from problems in Europe, the impending fiscal cliff in the United States, and the less-than-stellar results in this corporate earnings season. With the United States presidential election behind us, we believe that a more sustained equity market improvement is possible after policy solutions related to the fiscal cliff are clear. We see the eurozone's problems continuing to drag on and negatively impacting global economic growth. This would particularly affect larger-cap stocks in the developed markets, including the United States, as well as stocks in China and other emerging-market economies.

This article discusses first aid for a foreign object placed into the nose.
Something stuck in the nose; Objects in the nose
Curious young children may insert small objects into their nose in a normal attempt to explore their own bodies. Potential objects placed in the nose may include food, seeds, dried beans, small toys (such as marbles), crayon pieces, erasers, paper wads, cotton, and beads.
A foreign body in a child's nose can be there for awhile without a parent being aware of the problem. The object may only be discovered when visiting a doctor to find the cause of irritation, bleeding, infection, or difficulty breathing.
Symptoms that your child may have a foreign body in his or her nose include:
Seek immediate medical help if:
Teach children to avoid placing foreign objects into their noses and other body openings.
Keep small objects out of the reach of infants and toddlers.

Levitating girl?
X-23, as seen in "X-men: Evolution":
I really got addicted to that series. I watched entire 4 seasons in 5 days time. XD I drew X-23 at my faculty, between lessons. I think I drew her quite accurately considering I didn't have any reference at the moment. It's interesting how this complete character rip-off became so popular (she's a teenage, female clone of Wolverine XD). After her appearance in 2 episodes of the show (and cameo at the end of final episode of the series), she appeared in a comic-book mini-series, after which she soon got her own comic-book series. For some reason, it seems they changed her hair from dark brown to black in comics (haven't read any comics with her, but I did see some scans/images).
That should be it for now. Hope you enjoy it.Black, 2nd December wrote:No replies, huh? Well, I guess those weren't that impressive anyway.
And now for something new: Some sisterly love!
Followed by a gunner shooting a dog (which jumped at him and bit him):
And here's my character from an RP called Xerina, threatening me because I got her seriously wounded (high-degree burns, hence the bandages all over her body). Let me just say - that's not water she's making me walk into.
Oh, and here's a quick photoshopping I did recently:
"Thank you, everyone, for this prestigeous award. I'm so deeply touched..."Black, 3rd December wrote:Interesting how I didn't notice I posted gunner twice instead of Xerina. XD Fixed. Oh, there's also some of the stuff I drew today.
Dranton Riley killing a mecha-zombie (I need to fix those motion lines...):
"Dranton May Cry" ("Devil May Cry" parody XD). This Dranton is a beetle from an RP and has absolutely nothing to do with Riley. I actually made him several months before I made Riley. XD
Ivan, the armor-wearing spider (Ivan's not my OC, I just made this armor design for him).
Chuckles, the overly-depressive spider (This character's not mine, either). I put "I'm in despair." as a reference to the "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei", since Chuckles reminds me a lot of the main character from that anime.Black, 6th December wrote:Beetle Sword:
I think this is actually the 1st time I designed a weapon with both function and appearance in mind - and the one that I actually like how it turned out (okay, maybe 2nd - there was that nunchucks/switch-blade/gun weapon I made last year XD). Beetle's horns are there to protect the user's hand. It's arms, of course, are there to stop the blocked blades from sliding to/harming the user's hand/arm. With a blade slid to them, it makes it easy to disarm the enemy with one quick motion. The widened end of the blade (not in this pic, but seen on drawing) is there to rip through the enemy and make even more damage as it is pulled out (similar to arrow tips, designed in a similar fashion to prevent them from being pulled out - only this thing has a blade on back that rips through flesh instead of jamming itself in it).
Yeah... I don't think I ever made a weapon with this much functionality taken in consideration...
"Dranton May Cry", digital version. XD Made using "Photoshop CS", "Flash 8" and "PChat" . Background is a screenshot from "Dungeon Keeper 2".
Still no replies, huh? Probably 'cause I'm a nobody, so I don't deserve any... Snafu Forum itself says so, too:

Categories: System Date: Sep 16, 2009 Title: Updated Launch pageProblem with Apple Java on Leopard corrected?
I have made some modifications to the way the JNLP file is created that has solved a memory allocation problem for some of the Apple Java users on our forum. If you've installed the latest Java updates from Apple and your MapTool (or other RPTools?) application complains about running with a minimum of memory allocated, please visit our {cms_selflink page="launch" text="Launch"} page and generate/save a new JNLP file following the instructions on that page.
Whether this solves the issue for you or not, I'd appreciate hearing about your results on the forum. You can find the related thread here: http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9982
Thank you for helping out!

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a dislocation of the hip joint that is present at birth. The condition is found in babies or young children.
Developmental dislocation of the hip joint; Developmental hip dysplasia; DDH; Congenital dysplasia of the hip; Congenital dislocation of the hip; CDH; Pavlik harness
The hip is a ball and socket joint. The ball is called the femoral head. It forms the top part of the thigh bone (femur). The socket (acetabulum) forms in the pelvic bone.
In some newborns, the socket is too shallow and the ball (thigh bone) may slip out of the socket, either part of the way or completely. One or both hips may be involved.
The cause is unknown. Low levels of amniotic fluid in the womb during pregnancy can increase a baby's risk of DDH. Other risk factors include:
DDH occurs in about 1 to 1.5 of 1,000 births.
There may be no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur in a newborn can include:
After 3 months of age, the affected leg may turn outward or be shorter than the other leg.
Once the child begins walking, symptoms can include:
Pediatric health care providers routinely screen all newborns and infants for hip dysplasia. There are several methods to detect a dislocated hip or a hip that is able to be dislocated.
The most common method of identifying the condition is a physical exam of the hips, which involves applying pressure while moving the hips. The health care provider listens for any clicks, clunks, or pops.
Ultrasound of the hip is used in younger infants to confirm the problem. An x-ray of the hip joint may help diagnose the condition in older infants and children.
A hip that is truly dislocated in an infant should be detected at birth, but some cases are mild and symptoms may not develop until after birth, which is why multiple exams are recommended. Some mild cases are silent and cannot be found during a physical exam.
When the problem is found during the first 6 months of life, a device or harness is used to keep the legs apart and turned outward (frog-leg position). This device will usually hold the hip joint in place while the child grows.
This harness works for most infants when it is started before age 6 months, but it is less likely to work for older children.
Children who do not improve, or who are diagnosed after 6 months often need surgery. After surgery, a cast will be placed on the child's leg for a period of time.
If hip dysplasia is found in the first few months of life, it can almost always be treated successfully with a positioning device (bracing). In a few cases, surgery is needed to put the hip back in joint.
Hip dysplasia that is found after early infancy may lead to a worse outcome and may need more complex surgery to fix the problem.
Bracing devices may cause skin irritation. Differences in the lengths of the legs may persist despite appropriate treatment.
Untreated, hip dysplasia will lead to arthritis and deterioration of the hip, which can be severely debilitating.
Call your health care provider if you suspect that your child's hip is not properly positioned.

Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR
Last Modified: July 14, 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had breast cancer 6 yrs ago. I had radiation at that time. Now I have a very sore rash in the same area. I have a high fever and flu like symptoms and fatigue. I take antibiotics but it comes back in 2 months time. The rash is also very painful. I want to know what is causing this.
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The symptoms described may be from an infection of the breast. The cause of a breast infection many years after breast cancer treatment is not known. Infection of the breast is unusual, but well described, and usually responds fairly rapidly to antibiotics. If the rash does not rapidly resolve, then other causes need to be considered (e.g., inflammatory breast cancer, radiation recall, rash secondary to non-cancer causes). If a course of antibiotics is not effective, then reevaluation by your oncologist to exclude cancer etiology should be considered.
Dec 21, 2010 - An acne-like rash among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer undergoing treatment with cisplatin and vinorelbine plus cetuximab is associated with improved outcomes, according to research published online Dec. 20 in The Lancet Oncology.

Nov. 25, 1981: Rollie Fingers becomes first relief pitcher in AL history to win MVP
By Bridget Bielefeld
When Oakland A's manager Dick Williams sent Rollie Fingers to the bullpen in 1971 after several sub-par outings as a starter, Fingers thought his short major league run had come to an end.
"Williams threw me out to the bullpen and I thought: 'Well that's the end of that,'" Fingers said in an interview with the New York Post. "My baseball career was over. I figured the handwriting was on the wall."
"No kid ever dreams of being a reliever," Fingers further explained. "Everybody wants to be a starter, and I was no different."
However, the transition proved to be a blessing in disguise for Fingers – who, during his 17-year major league career with the A's, Padres and Brewers, became one of the greatest relief pitchers the game has ever seen.
The pinnacle of his illustrious bullpen career came 28 years ago today when, on Nov. 25, 1981, just days after winning his first Cy Young Award, Fingers became only the second relief pitcher in major league history to win a Most Valuable Player Award and the first to do so in the American League.
In his 14th year in the majors, Fingers posted a 6-3 record, racked up an AL leading 28 saves and sported an infinitesimal 1.04 ERA. Utilizing his fastball and sharp slider, he struck out 61 men while walking only 13 in 78 innings pitched.
Fingers was especially dominant in the second half of the '81 season. After the Brewers got off to a lackluster start, the club rallied, emerging as second half champions and climbing to first place in the AL East.
"He's the type of pitcher who has command of all of his pitches," said former Brewers skipper Rene Lachemann, who managed Fingers in 1984. "He knows he's going to get [batters] out. He gives me a lot of confidence when he's out there."
While the 1981 Brewers would ultimately lose in the AL Division Series, Fingers was no stranger to October success. In his career, he pitched in 16 World Series games – winning three consecutive titles with the Athletics from 1972-74.
When Fingers retired in 1985, he was the all-time saves king with 341. Today, he is 10th on the all-time list.
Fingers, along with his famed handlebar mustache, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992. Shortly after his enshrinement in Cooperstown, the Brewers retired No. 34 – Fingers' jersey number – to commemorate his four-year tenure with the team and his MVP accomplishment.
Bridget Bielefeld was the 2009 public relations intern at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
