Well I had to google him and I can see why you would like to 'meet' him rofl:p

My main bucket list item is to visit great Christmas festivals and events all over the U.S.A. And maybe someday in Germany too. It is my favorite holiday and time of year.
One thing on my bucket list would be to visit the New England states in the Fall, at least one more time!
We lived there for 6 years, and I have to say it is beautiful!
Before Round 2, I never really bothered with a "bucket list" so it took me a couple of days to come up with a list, and then try to match colors was another challenge! LOL.
I always knew there were things I wanted to do in my life but never really put them together with a "bucket list".
So, what's on my bucket list....?
Scuba Diving (am learning how to snorkel, which is the first stages of scuba diving, so I'm working toward this one)
Horseback riding
Washington DC Tour w/ daughter
A goal is to be able to be fit enough to climb a mountain with my daughter.... so Mountain Climbing is on my list as well.
I don't think anything on my list would be strange or weird or anything... at least I don't think so. Thanks for letting me share!!
Great list Karen. I am one of those people who as long as I am healthy and happy don't care if there are things I don't do lol. Not like - I just have to do this or that. there are things I would enjoy but if I don't do them it is no big deal lol
You are braver then me with the scuba diving - that is not on my list. you should add to your list visit the whitsundays in australia. We had a short 4 day visit to my cousins last month and went out on a sailing boat for a day to a fantastic place for snorkelling. it was just off the shore of and island and totally awesome. I haven't snorkelled for about 20 years so it was great. I was a bit nervous about getting tired but its so close to shore and the boat had 'pool noodles' and with them under your arms you just float on top of the water. it was totally awesome. they also have beginner scuba dives where you learn on the boat then go in to 6 metres in groups of 3 or 4. My hubby did it as that was on his bucket list. i had no inclination to join him lol.
Here are a pic to inspire you more. I am the big fish or should I say whale rofl

CUNA GAC. Powerful Cause. Positive Effect. We've hit the 100 million mark. Now let's keep the momentum growing at GAC.
One hundred million credit union memberships is a significant milestone. It's proof that Americans value the credit union difference. It reinforces that Americans want financial service alternatives that offer real choices and put them first. It's time to celebrate—and time to leverage the opportunity.
Let's do both at this year's CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference.
CUNA GAC is the biggest week of the year for credit unions. More than 4,000 credit union people come together to:
- Hear from influential legislators, policymakers and credit union experts on the political landscape and its effect on credit unions
- Identify new strategies for building and maintaining America's awareness and trust
- Network with credit union leaders
- Attend breakout sessions on the hottest issues in the movement
- Tour the largest vendor showcase in the financial services industry
- Tell Congress our story at Hike the Hill visits

Keynote Speaker:
Jim Nussle, President/CEO, Credit Union National Association
Jim Nussle was named president and CEO of the Credit Union National Association in September 2014. Nussle, is a former eight-term congressman and director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
CUNA is the largest and most influential national financial services trade association advocating for America's credit unions. There are nearly 6,700 credit unions nationwide, with over 100 million members and almost $1.1 trillion in assets.
Nussle has long admired the grass roots advocacy strength of the credit union movement. In Congress, he witnessed firsthand the enthusiastic advocacy the leaders and members of the nation's nearly 7,000 credit unions have.
Nussle served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991-2007 as a Republican representative from the State of Iowa. From 2001-2006, he served as chairman of the House Budget Committee, a key panel that oversees the federal budget process, including review of all bills and resolutions on the budget. In addition he was a member of the House leadership and served on the Banking and Ways and Means Committees.
In 2007, President Bush tapped him as the 36th director of OMB, the largest office within the Executive Office of the President of the United States. As OMB director, he was a member of the president's cabinet.
Nussle also served on the founding board of Growth Energy, a trade association of renewable energy companies and industry partners. He was recruited by his fellow board members in 2010 to help lead the organization as its President and COO. During his tenure, Growth Energy nearly doubled its revenue, increased membership by 18% to become the largest renewable energy association, and successfully navigated several regulatory and legislative challenges.
In his early career, Nussle served his community for four years as a first responder and firefighter with the Manchester Volunteer Fire Department. He also spent four years as the Delaware County Attorney, the chief prosecutor and civil attorney for the jurisdiction and established his own law practice. Nussle also serves as a director on the boards of Thrivent Mutual Funds, PRA Group Inc., and as a special advisor on the advisory board of AVISTA Capital Partners.
In addition, he volunteers his time with The National Down Syndrome Society and as President of Epiphany Lutheran Church Congregational Council, where you can often find him "sitting in" playing guitar in the praise band for Sunday services.
A native Iowan, Nussle received a degree in political science from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and his law degree from Drake University in Des Moines. Nussle and his wife, Karen live in Virginia, and have two adult children.

First Wild Horse Species Born from Artificial Insemination with Assistance from Auburn University Equine Reproduction Specialist
Scientists at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine are celebrating the birth of a female Przewalski's (Cha-VAL-skee) horse—the first to be born via artificial insemination.
The foal's birth on July 27 signaled a huge breakthrough for the survival of this species. Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine equine reproductive specialist, Dr. Aime Johnson played a significant role as a research collaborator, reproduction specialist, consultant and educator.
SCBI Reproductive Physiologist Budhan Pukazhenthi and the horse husbandry team spent years working closely with experts at The Wilds and, more recently, Dr. Johnson, an associate professor in Auburn's Department of Clinical Sciences, to perfect the technique of assisted breeding.
"It seems reasonable to assume that reproduction for the Przewalski's horse would be similar to domestic horses, but it simply isn't the case," said Pukazhenthi. "After all these years of persevering, I can honestly say I was elated to receive the call informing me that the foal had been born. I couldn't wait to see her! This is a major accomplishment, and we hope our success will stimulate more interest in studying and conserving endangered equids around the world."
Johnson, who has been at Auburn since 2007, worked collaboratively with Pukazhenthi both in Auburn and at SCBI. As the process continued, Johnson worked closely with SCBI staff to provide expert opinion. Board certified in the American College of Theriogenologists, Johnson is co-director of Auburn's Equine Reproduction Center.
The Przewalski's horse is considered the last wild horse on the planet, although it is often mistaken for a breed of domestic horse, the Norwegian Fjord. Little is known about wild equids despite the extensive knowledge of domestic horses, Equus caballus.
The usefulness of artificial insemination is that it does not require both animals to be together for a successful mating. The transport of animals to different locations can be difficult, dangerous, costly and potentially stressful. By contrast, the collection of semen can be safely accomplished under the supervision of veterinary staff, and significantly improves the efficiency of managing small populations of endangered species.
The birth of Anne and Agi's filly required hormonal treatments for inducing ovulation in a mare, specialized animal-handling facilities, conditioning Anne to provide urine samples for hormone monitoring, and routine ultrasounds. This accomplishment validates the importance of integrating animal management in the research and development of assisted reproductive technologies for endangered species.
Using ultrasound technology, Pukazhenthi confirmed the pregnancy approximately 35 days after the insemination. The mare's pregnancy was monitored closely for 11 months, measuring urinary hormone levels and visual keys (growing belly).
This work is part of SCBI, The Wilds and Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine's collaboration with the Conservation Centers for Species Survival, a group of large conservation facilities in North America dedicated to cooperative breeding and research for the advancement of species conservation.
The Przewalski's horse is a species native to China and Mongolia that was declared extinct in the wild in 1969 due to hunting, harsh climate, loss of habitat and loss of water sources. Today, approximately 1,500 Przewalski's horses remain worldwide, carrying genes from only 14 original animals. As a result of on-going reintroduction efforts, fewer than 500 of this species roam freely in Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan.
SCBI scientists are working in remote areas of China using radio collars and Geographic Information System technology to map the movements of these horses, which were reintroduced by Chinese colleagues into their former habitat. Committed to preserving this species and equid research in general, SCBI works to maintain breeding populations that serve as a source of animals for reintroduction.

MrI am very happy with the way Nick and his team are so helpful and customer focused. It is like you become a friend of the company. Should be called Bavas Music our Friends. I have purchased directly from the Bavas Music WEB site for many years, and have always been a happy customer/friend of Bavas. The equipment has varied from bass guitars, audio mixers, stage amplifiers, drum sets (both types), audio rack equipment, sound system for several churches. Microphones by the dozen, cables and more, all of which have been the best quality. If my product was not in stock, another similar quality product was offered, sometimes even a better deal. Keep up the good work guys, I appreciate the emails with the great deals. All the best your happy customer and friend. David GBy David G of Melton VictoriaSamson XP1000Nick highly recommended this product when I expressed our need for an upgrade at a local Wesleyan Methodist Church in Quakers Hill. We arrived at the shop and was promptly assisted by George and Frank. The product so far has AMAZED me and our pastor and we had no hesitations about purchasing this piece. Frank demo'ed the system for us and I honestly thought he connected it to subs but it was its own 1000watts pumping smoothly! Frank hooked us up with a great deal that fit our budget and we were highly pleased with our experience with Bavas. Looking forward to doing business with you guys again.By Dave of Mount DruittMrI have dealt with Bavas music many times and have bought a digital piano, a guitar and numerous accessories. I have always found them to be courteous, professional with good product knowledge, and competitively priced. I've dealt with many music stores over the past 35 years and Bavas is the best I've come across. Thanks for such great service!By Harry Kingaby of Coffs Harbourmrsnick from bavas ,wow what a fantastic experience of great customer service.Rang to find out about purchasing conferencing (MICROPHONES AND SOUND EQUIPTMENT) ADVISED ME ON WHAT TO PURCHASE AND TOLD NICK IT WAS URGENT AND HE HAD IT TO ME IN 2 DAYS ,COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT AS HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A LEADING SUPPLIER IN SYDNEY WHO i ORDERED OFF 1 MONTH AGO AND STILL WAITING.So will only be going with Bavas for sound and microphones from now on.Great to to see an honest company who deliver on what they say.Great work. thanks from katie in the ACT.By kate mcculloch of actMrVery good site (but attention needed to some erratic "rrp/ price/ savings" numbers which are often absurd). I bought good gear at very good prices, with excellent service and help from Joanna (thank you). Delivery was very quick and accurate. Highly recommended.By Ray Neuling of AdelaideThe BestHow do you start to write a testimonial when you are speachless for words. Nick and his whole crew let you know their best interest is you. Never Have I felt so secure in my purchase with anyone. I asked so many questions prior to the purchase of the myriad of equipment I purchased,that I made myself feel uncomfortable. In return I was recieved by a professional friendly team with plenty of advice and honest answers that got results. The knowledge of these guys is second to none, which is matched by the quality of equipment they provide. Not to mention the discount I recieved. After shopping around and getting a mountain of opinions that wern't consistant with one enother, I found Nick and his team to be the real treasure, not for the money that I have saved which is in excess of 20K. But for thier Service, honesty, integrity and wealth of knowledge. Not only do I have great equipment, Id like to think this is the begining of a lasting friendship. Thanks NickBy Paddy of CMA Studios QueenslandMrJust a quick note to let you how happy I am with my recent over the phone purchase. Best price! Ordered one day, received the next, fantastic. Also Nick, went out of his way to check and re-arrange things so I did not miss out before Christmas. Thanks Nick and Bavas Music.By Geoff Whipp of SydneyPA GearA big thankyou to Nick and the staff we bought a Behringer assorted PA system and you were all very helpful even down to sorting out a warranty repair for us. We highly recomend you all.Thankyoiu again from Carin & Chris.By Carin & Chris of Great price/great help!I had an idea of what I wanted,but what you want and what you need are two different things Nick Bava nows ! He put together such a nice PA for me,I was blown away when I turned the system on for the first time, Thanks Nick,your the man.

Google Zoopagoo and come to one of our gigs, I would be happy to show you mine.By David Frost of CanberraDrFound the Kurzweil PC3 keyboards here for a great price. Ordered, they were delivered promptly. Kurzweil aren't all that widely available in Australia - can I just say it is a fantastic keyboard. In Canberra and want to hear one? Google Zoopagoo and come to one of our gigs, I would be happy to show you mine.By David Frost of CanberraMrBought a $2000 PA system instore.....good stuff......but the salesguy led me to beleive that he was giving me a massive discount....only to find later that the price I paid was actually the price available to everyone online.......hmmmmmmmmmBy Mr of SydneyMrI have bought from Bavas twice now for EV speakers (foldback, FOH and subs) and microphones. I have found their service to be excellent and their prices are great. We had problems with one of our FOH speakers and Nick had a replacement to our church in record time - it was no hassle at all. I would recommend these guys and I do not even bother to shop around anymore because you wont get a better deal. I would add that Nick is a great salesman in the sense that he knows his products, gets a good feel for what you are after, puts together a good package (without over selling), has it delivered promptly and provides good support. He will also work hard with suppliers to get you the best price he can offer. Keep up the good work guys it's a pleasure doing business with you.By Rob Jamieson of BathurstMrTony, thanks so much for your assistance with my Korg SV1, gig bag & Behringer monitors. Bavas is always a pleasure to deal with, always prompt, thoughtful & do great deals. Cheers Tony, I'm looking forward to receiving all my new gear over the next few days, thanks for making it all so easy!!! Steve.By Steve Martin of Townsville

Kidney disease or kidney damage that occurs in people with diabetes is called diabetic nephropathy. This condition is a complication of diabetes.
Diabetic nephropathy; Nephropathy - diabetic; Diabetic glomerulosclerosis; Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease
Each kidney is made of hundreds of thousands of small units called nephrons. These structures filter your blood, help remove waste from the body, and control fluid balance.
In people with diabetes, the nephrons slowly thicken and become scarred over time. The kidneys begin to leak and protein (albumin) passes into the urine. This damage can happen years before any symptoms begin.
Kidney damage is more likely if you:
Often, there are no symptoms as the kidney damage starts and slowly gets worse. Kidney damage can begin 5 to 10 years before symptoms start.
People who have more severe and long-term (chronic) kidney disease may have symptoms such as:
Your health care provider will order tests to detect signs of kidney problems.
A urine test looks for a protein called albumin leaking into the urine.
Your health care provider will also check your blood pressure. This is because if you have diabetic nephropathy, you likely also have high blood pressure.
A kidney biopsy may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis or look for other causes of kidney damage.
If you have diabetes, your health care provider will also check your kidneys by using the following blood tests every year:
When kidney damage is caught in its early stages, it can be slowed with treatment. Once larger amounts of protein appear in the urine, kidney damage will slowly get worse.
Follow your health care provider's advice to keep your condition from getting worse.
Keeping your blood pressure under control (below 130/80) is one of the best ways to slow kidney damage.
You can also slow kidney damage by controlling your blood sugar level, which you can do by:
Many resources can help you understand more about diabetes. You can also learn ways to manage your kidney disease.
The health care provider may need to stop some of your medicines because they can harm your kidneys if diabetic nephropathy is getting worse.
Diabetic kidney disease is a major cause of sickness and death in people with diabetes. It can lead to the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant .
Call your health care provider if you have diabetes and you have not had a urine test to check for protein.

The lecture was to start at *K o'clock. 7.10 found the first members of the eager audience in their seats. Twenty minutes later, as the room was beginning to fill the first eager devotee's of literature found that they could hardly distinguish the faces of the newcomers. The large and curiously mosquito-netted balls of light that hang from the Chapel ceiling were certainly growing paler. This seemed unusual, especially as the read- ing light on the desk still beamed bright- ly. The lights grew dimmer till they floated like- eight pale moons above us; Chapel was in almost complete darkness: the ushers were forced to fall back on electric torches, giving a professional touch. Llghta Flare�Then Fail. After a few minutes the lights flared a liftle but at 13 minutes to eight they went out completely. Miss Faulkner brought in a lantern pillaged from the Lantern Man and set it quaintly on the corner of the stage. By this time the reading light was out, too. The latest arrivals stumbled over feet and chairs, but on the whole there was a noteworthy calmness and lack of profanity. At ex- actly one minute to eight, the lights suddenly reappeared and flared spectacu- larly to their full brilliance just as Miss Park and Miss Cather entered. The News reporter, anxious to find out full details of the matter, took pencil and notebook down to the power house.

They are drawings in miniature of Greek relief and statuary in the mus- eums of Florence and were done' from 1880-24, whenjtbe artist was over 40, at the height of his power. In some of the best of these, it is astounding to observe the* precisi>n, the speed, aiuL.the expression^)!' form possible to pure line chawing. This exhibition has been made pos- sible by De Hauke and Co., the recently organized firm specializing in modern French decorative art. It represents an experiment which the firm has instituted to �co-operate with college art depart- ments. The exhibition has already been shown at Smith, and besides Bryn Mawr. will also be shown at Vassar. Prince- ton and Vale.

It is hoped that alumnae and undergraduates will read it and give any information they know about the man to Miss Park. Washington, I). C. .My dear Present Park : Yesterday a very strange looking man who- claimed to be a friend of Eleanor Baldwin's called me up and came out to ,see me. Everything about him was suspicious, and finally when he asked for money, mother and I called the police. , He was searched at jail and it developed that he had an elaborate list of Bryn Mawr alumnae living here, and, for each one, a friend in her class living elsewhere. ( He admits he got these from the Register.) He also had a similar list from a boys' school, and ones from several clubs. It seems that he has traveled all over the country�his cloth- ing bore labels of stores from coast to coast. The police are working on the man's Washington lists and they have found that he visited or had appoint- ments with nearly all the alumnae on the list. The police have asked me if I could get their case before the alumnae � generally, so that if any of them else- where have been victimized, the man can be brought to justice. They feel he is experienced at his game and they plan to convict him for at least thirty days on a charge of vagrancy until they can get definite charges against him. Anyone who has seen him could not fail to recognize him, he is so peculiar looking. He may be anywhere from 25 to 35 years old. He is under-sized, slight with thin, straight blonde hair. china blue eyes, and no upper front teeth. He wears large glasses with aluminum looking rims, and, to me. called himself George H. Glen. Most sincerely, Nell R. Roarrri. The ix)licy and procedure in excluding students from the college for academe reasons were explained by President Park, speaking in Chapel on Wednesday. January 12. This action is taken by the Senate made up of the full pro- fessors who have been here three.years; they know the college standards and the students, and make their decision* from a report of all the records, pre- sented by an executive committee. All the faculty are asked for information. There are two attitudes that a college may take toward its students: One. "We will take anyone who comes here as far as her interest and ability carry her." Two, "We have an objective standard, and will keep only those who can keep up to it. Students must reach our arbitrary standard." Three Grounds for Exclusion. Miss Park gave three reasons why a student should be excluded if she fails to reach the minimum standard. First, because her presence brings dow#T the standard.

RHYS CARPENTER MAKES VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY Vanquished Boxer and the Belvedere Torso Are by One Hand. H// Atnocialed Press. Rome, December 15�Professor Rhys Carpenter, professor of archaeol- ogy at Bryn Mawr, and now at the American academy in Rome, has made an, extremely important archaeological discovery in identifying the sculptor's signature on one of the most famous of ancient bronze statues alxnit the date of which scholars have long disagreed The statue, which represents a seated Iwxer of ancient days, with his face bat- tered and his ears swollen, is one oi the treasures of the National museum in the Diocletian Bath here. On the thongs which bind the heavy metal loaded cestus, the ancient boxing glove used in gladiatorial combats. Pro- fessor Carpenter discovered the barely perceptible signature of the artist in such small type that it had never been noticed. Sculptor Well Known. Professor Carpenter was able to read the name "Appollonius, son of Nestor." This sculptor is already known from his signature on one of the recognized mas- teripeces of the world, the "Torso of Belvedere" in the Vatican museum. The Belvedere statue is a fragment of a seated nude figure of heroic propor- tions which was found in the Fifteenth century. It was greatly admired by Michael Angek) and other Renaissance artists. Pi�fessor Carpenter's discovery thus connects two of the l>est known of an- cient statues in Rome as the work of the same master. Sculptor Worked in Athens. Appollonius probably lived about tne middle of the First cntury B. C, and has his workshop in Athens. The bronze boxer on whom the new inscription was found was unearthed in 1884.

The direct and sole purpose of these awards is to bring to the young people of the United States a closer knowledge of the ideals and principles of Woodrow Wilson: the ideals which, in his written and spoken words, he sought to express to the people of his own country and the world. What to Present Each article intended for these awards must seek to appraise the ideals, stand- ards and principles of Woodrow Wilson according to the personal standpoint of the writer. No mere biographical sketch of Mr. Wilson or review of his life or acts will be eligible. Since only his ideals and principles are to be considered, no article must rest on a political basis or be colored by parti- sanship, for or against. Partison political considerations are outside the scope of the contest. Particularly should it be borne in mind that Mr. Wilson's ideals far transcended any of the plans he himself carried through. Hence no article, is eligible which confines itself to a review of his Mid-Year Will Be Oveh Now is your chance to really concentrate on the misspelled word contest and get a prize.

The joy of these courses is that the students are under no compulsion whatever�they are free to choose their courses and are also free to study as much or as little as they desire. For those who are prepar- ing themselves for orals, the courses are. very beneficial.

Its only ItdpV the speaker declared, is to be let alone, freed from the rules of technique which de- partments of English in fresh-water col- leges attempt to lay down for it. An author does not plan his works accord- ing to a formula, and where he departs from custom, it is undoubtedly inten- tional. A speaker on the Russian novel once complained that in First l.ove, the narrator, whom he called the leading character, was weak and colorless. As a matter of fact, character- in the nar- rator, whose function in this book is that of a window through which the action is perceived, would have spoiled the story. Forms Mean Growth. Standards can only be derived from what has already been written. There- fore, whenever a novel exhibits any new departure in form or composition, the teachers of English either condemn it utterly, or make a new formula to which they will fit sul>sequent works. The truth is that imaginative prose, being a young and growing form of art. can never progress without the chance to develope fresh forms, to get away from the old sentimental themes and patterns, which arc not the patterns of life.

Friday 8 February 2013
The UK Information Commissioner has slammed proposed changes to the European Data Protection Directive, saying they are bad for business.
The legislation in its current form should be thrown out, the expert has said.
This comes as the European Commission prepares to further discuss the recommended changes to its outdated data protection regulations.
However, it is facing challenges from US campaigners who are looking out for the rights of Facebook, Google and other tech titans that rely on data mining for income.
Richard Thomas, information commissioner, said: "We want it defined in terms of outcomes rather than regulatory process.
He said that the whole scheme needs to be "taken back to the drawing board" and warned that demanding a box-tick for data consent would result in a "continent of liars" as people will not have read the things they are agreeing to.
This comes after a survey from Ovum revealed that 68 per cent of internet users would prefer their personal data to remain invisible.

Neurofibromatosis-1 is an inherited disorder in which nerve tissue tumors (neurofibromas) form in the:
NF1; Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis
NF1 is an inherited disease. If either parent has NF1, each of their children has a 50% chance of having the disease.
NF1 also appears in families with no history of the condition. In these cases, it is caused by a new gene change (mutation) in the sperm or egg. NF1 is caused by problems with a gene for a protein called neurofibromin.
Neurofibromatosis causes tissue along the nerves to grow uncontrollably. This growth can put pressure on affected nerves. It can cause pain, severe nerve damage, and loss of function in the area served by the nerve. Problems with feeling or movement can occur, depending on which nerves are affected.
The condition can be very different from person to person, even among people in the same family who have the NF1 gene.
"Coffee-with-milk" (café-au-lait ) spots are the hallmark symptom of neurofibromatosis. Many healthy people have 1 or 2 small café-au-lait spots. However, adults who have six or more spots that are bigger than 1.5 cm in diameter (0.5 cm in children) are likely to have neurofibromatosis. In most people with the condition, these spots may be the only symptom.
Other symptoms may include:
A doctor who treats NF1, such as a neurologist, geneticist, dermatologist, or developmental pediatrician will diagnose this condition. The diagnosis will usually be made based on the unique symptoms and signs of neurofibromatosis.
Signs include:
Tests may include:
There is no specific treatment for neurofibromatosis. Tumors that cause pain or loss of function may be removed. Tumors that have grown quickly should be removed promptly as they may become cancerous (malignant). Experimental treatments for severe tumors are under investigation.
Some children with learning disorders may need special schooling.
For more information and resources, contact the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation .
If there are no complications, the life expectancy of people with neurofibromatosis is almost normal. With the right education, people with neurofibromatosis can live a normal life.
Although mental impairment is generally mild, NF1 is a known cause of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Learning disabilities are a common problem.
Some people are treated differently because they have hundreds of tumors on their skin.
Patients with neurofibromatosis have an increased chance of developing severe tumors. In rare cases, these can shorten a person's lifespan.
Call your health care provider if:
Genetic counseling is recommended for anyone with a family history of neurofibromatosis.
Annual eye exams are strongly recommended.

There are serious problems with genetically modified (GM) crops, notably health and environmental risks and growing corporate control of our food chain by a handful of companies. Despite this, and major public opposition, there is strong support for GM agriculture in the European Commission. Greenpeace campaigns to end GM agriculture in favour of better support for sustainable farming, the only genuine solution to food security and climate challenges.
GM crops come with a stack of problems for farmers, consumers and society in general.
-They are inseparable from large-scale intensive farming and reliant on the heavy use of expensive chemicals and machinery. GM agriculture exacerbates food insecurity by degrading soils, polluting water and fuelling climate change.
-Despite decades of hype, no drought or flood-resistant GM crops have been brought to market. Instead, GM agriculture is characterised by monocultures of genetically identical plants that are the most vulnerable to climate and pest stresses.
-Poor farmers in developing countries can ill afford expensive GM agriculture and are vulnerable to falling into cycles of debt. On the other side of the coin, just six companies control almost all GM crops: Monsanto, Dow, Syngenta, Bayer, BASF and Dupont. Together they also control three quarters of the agrochemical market, a massive degree of control over the food chain. Monsanto enforces its patents through a force of private investigators, suing farmers on the slightest suspicion.
-GM crops require pesticides that lead to the emergence of so-called 'superweeds' and 'superpests'. Millions of American farms now have to use greater quantities and stronger chemicals to control these pests in a vicious circle. Besides this problem, intensive agriculture is by definition less biodiverse and pesticide-producing GM crops harm pests and beneficial insects alike.
-Perhaps most worrying, we do not know if GM crops are safe to eat. Independent long-term studies are severely lacking and GM companies have undue influence over research establishments which get much of their funding from corporations. The fact is genetic engineering is a random and imprecise technique. Scientists still understand little about how engineered genes interact and unexpected side effects are frequent. Once grown in the open environment, GM genes spread in an uncontrollable way.
zoom GM technology poses a host of health risks, yet long-term safety testing is shunned.
GM technology poses a host of health risks, yet long-term safety testing is shunned.
In March 2010, the European Commission broke a 12 year hiatus by approving the cultivation of antibiotic-resistant GM potato Amflora. More than 20 other GM crops are pending authorisation. According to official EU polls, 61 percent of Europeans are against the development of GM food in a trend of rejection that has continued to grow. Some countries have fought against further authorisations, in part because the European authorisation process is flawed, especially the risk assessment of GM crops carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In December 2008, all 27 environment ministers unanimously stated that risk assessment for GM crops must be strengthened. EFSA's risk assessment remains insufficient.

Qui-Gon Jinn
A venerable if maverick Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn was a student of the living Force. Qui-Gon lived for the moment, espousing a philosophy of "feel, don't think -- use your instincts." On Tatooine, Qui-Gon discovered a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker who was strong in the Force. Sensing the boy's potential, Qui-Gon liberated Anakin from slavery. The Jedi Master presented Anakin to the Jedi Council, but they deemed the boy too old to begin training and dangerously full of fear and anger. They refused to allow Qui-Gon to train Anakin, but rescinded their decision to fulfill Qui-Gon's dying wish.
- Male,
- Height: 1.93m,
Jedi Reflexes
Inside the humble home of young Anakin Skywalker and his mother Shmi, Qui-Gon and Anakin discuss Podracing and Jedi Knights. Qui-Gon shows off his "Jedi reflexes" by catching Jar Jar's tongue as it lunges for food.
A Game of Chance
Hoping to free Anakin and his mother from enslavement on Tatooine, Qui-Gon makes a bet with Watto.
The Rogue Master
Obi-Wan expresses his doubts that Anakin will be able to pass the Jedi Council's tests and urges Master Qui-Gon to adhere to the Jedi Code.
Qui-Gon's Spirit Visits Anakin
On Mortis, Anakin encounters a vision of Qui-Gon Jinn, who says he believes Anakin is the Chosen One who will bring balance to the Force. Qui-Gon directs Anakin to go to a place nearby that is strong in the dark side of the Force, a place where he will confront the Son of Mortis.
Qui-Gon's Spirit Visits Obi-Wan
When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are transported to the mysterious realm of Mortis Obi-Wan experiences a vision of Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon tells him that there are three on the planet who believe Anakin to be the Chosen One, and that with Anakin's power, this is a very dangerous place for him to be.

Obi-Wan Kenobi
A legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a noble man and gifted in the ways of the Force. He trained Anakin Skywalker, served as a general in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars, and guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor.
Anakin Skywalker
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but also had a fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.
Count Dooku
Count Dooku was a menacing Sith Lord and central figure in the Clone Wars. Once a Jedi -- trained by Yoda -- he became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and thirsted for greater power. Dooku voluntarily left the light side behind and became Darth Sidious' dark side disciple, taking the secret name Darth Tyranus and leading the Separatist army.
Darth Maul
A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. He wielded an intimidating double-bladed lightsaber and fought with a menacing ferocity. Though he fell in battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Zabrak from Dathomir would prove to be much harder to destroy than originally believed.
Shmi Skywalker Lars
The mother of Anakin Skywalker was also a brave and resilient woman who survived life as a slave to become a Tatooine moisture farmer. Shmi surrendered her son to the Jedi Order, putting him on a path to become one of the greatest Jedi. Her death at the hands of Tusken Raiders became a critical step on Anakin's journey to the dark side.
Yoda was a legendary Jedi Master and stronger than most in his connection with the Force. Small in size but wise and powerful, he trained Jedi for over 800 years, playing integral roles in the Clone Wars, the instruction of Luke Skywalker, and unlocking the path to immortality.

Technically Spike probably should have come through as a human too, as I get the feeling that the translation to human state would apply to ALL sentient equestrian races. So for example if Gilda came through she would probably come out as human as well, as would Iron Will, or Cranky Doodle, or Zecora (actually I'd kind of like to know what Zecora would look like humanside. Would she still have stripes? Actually the whole humans thing gets a little complicated with characters who don't have monotone coats. In horse form, Pipsqeak looks normal, because we are used to horses having coats that can have blotches. In human form however, he'd probably look like he had some sort of skin condtion like Port Wine stains. I guess it's the reverse of the situation with AJ's and Big Macs' freckles, they don't look odd becuse we are used to people having freckles there, even though on some level we know horses don't have them (those spot's are on AJ's coat, not her skin (though she could have them on her skin too) Heck even the cows and sheep would probably come through as humans, since we know they can talk too (that actually might result in something funny, since it seems that, while the sheep can talk, the Equestrians might not KNOW they can talk given how they treat them. Having them come through as human might be a shock. Also ironically, while dogs would stay dogs, Diamond Dogs would probably come through as human, since they are sentient. I imagine the reason they make spike a dog was just to not overcomplicate the plot.
Skull-Boy666 wrote:Mon-Kitsune wrote:Skull-Boy666 wrote:
Yeah, I thought he should've been a human too, especially because how is he going to flirt with Rarity if he's a pet? And does that make him a pet in the Pony-verse? My head hurts... Plus, it doesn't seem like that big of a stretch to have a little dragon kid with green and pink people already running around. So, why on Earth would they make him a little puppy dog? Why, I ask you, why?
Oh... right... Well, it is Hasbro, can ya really blame 'em?

As for the bigger Spike get the more animalistic he get, I just assumed that was just because his body was going through an unnatural growth spurt and his mind couldn't keep up.
I've seen other theories that as long as they can keep Spike from hoarding he won't get much bigger than an average pony and he'll stay the same.
Those again, are all just theories.

Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's history.
Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane.
27 times faster, it would be doing 1,755 MPH!

Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder in which tumors form on the nerves of the brain and spine (the central nervous system).
Although it has a similar name to neurofibromatosis type 1 , it is a different and separate condition.
NF2; Bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis; Central bilateral acoustic NF
NF2 is passed down through families in an autosomal dominant pattern. This means that if one parent has NF2, any child of that parent has a 50% chance of inheriting the condition.
The main risk factor is having a family history of the condition.
Symptoms of NF2 include:
Signs include:
Tests include:
Acoustic neuromas can be observed, or treated with surgery or radiation .
Patients may benefit from genetic counseling.
Every year, patients with NF2 should be evaluated with:

Meningococcal meningitis is an infection that results in swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.
Meningococcal meningitis
Meningococcal meningitis is caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis (also known as meningococcus).
Most cases of meningococcal meningitis occur in children and teens. Meningococcus is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in children and a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in adults.
The infection occurs more often in winter or spring. It may cause local epidemics at boarding schools, college dormitories, or military bases.
Risk factors include recent exposure to meningococcal meningitis and a recent upper respiratory infection.
Symptoms usually come on quickly, and may include:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
The doctor or nurse will examine the patient. This will show:
If the health care provider thinks meningitis is possible, a lumbar puncture ("spinal tap ") should be done to remove a sample of spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) for testing.
Tests that may be done include:
Antibiotics should be started as soon as possible. Ceftriaxone is one of the most commonly used antibiotics for meningococcal meningitis. Penicillin in high doses is almost always effective, too.
If the patient is allergic to penicillin, chloramphenicol may be used. Sometimes corticosteroids may be used, especially in children.
People in close contact with someone who has meningococcal meningitis should be given antibiotics to prevent infection. Such people include:
Early treatment improves the outcome. Death is possible. Young children and adults over 50 have the highest risk of death.
Call the local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you suspect meningitis in a young child who has the following symptoms:
Call the local emergency number if you develop any of the serious symptoms listed above. Meningitis can quickly become a life-threatening illness.
All family and close contacts (especially in health care or school settings) of people with this type of meningitis should begin antibiotic treatment as soon as possible to prevent spread of the infection. Ask your health care provider about this during the first visit.
Close contacts in the same household, school, or day care center should be watched for early signs of the disease as soon as the first case is diagnosed. Always use good hygiene habits, such as washing hands before and after changing a diaper, or after using the bathroom.
Vaccines are effective for controlling epidemics. They are currently recommended for:
