In yet another desperate attempt to make headlines (though it's unclear why they ever did before), former The Hills stars and current famewhores Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have opened up to Britain's OK! Magazine about the exorbitant sum of money they spent preparing for the Mayan Apocalypse.
Yeah, you read that right. Apparently, the couple blew through $10 million under the assumption that they couldn't take it with them after Dec. 21, 2012, giving their friends cars and cash, tipping valets and doormen $200 a piece, and buying themselves an armored truck and designer handbags.
"The thing is, we heard that the planet was going to end in 2012. We thought, we have got to spend this money before the asteroid hits," Pratt revealed. "Here's some advice, definitely do not spend your money thinking asteroids are coming."
You think? As vapid and ridiculous as Pratt and Montag came across on TV, there is no way this is real. They're totally in on it. But it's either really funny or really depressing to pretend they're not.
In other bizarre news:
Jackass acts like a jackass. Considering we all know who Bam Margera is because of a show called Jackass, it probably shouldn't be all that surprising that his latest headline-making stunt involves the reality star doing something completely gross and moronic. Apparently, Margera is attempting to jump-start his new rap career with a music video — which you can't see anymore, because YouTube pulled it down for being too gross. (Warning: It's really, really gross.) At some point during the clip, Margera drinks from what TMZ politely refers to as "his own yellow fountain." Hey, we warned you it was gross! [TMZ]
Arnold Schwarzenegger's past comes back to haunt him. Ahhhnold probably thought he'd said hasta la vista to some risqué photos he took when he was younger, but he should know that these things usually have a way of coming back around. One lucky (that's one word for it) buyer of a storage locker that once belonged to Penthouse founder Bob Guccione came across "an old photo of a 'young Arnold' performing a sex act." (Yes, it's that vague, no, we don't want to think about what that could mean.) While our natural inclination is to burn it and forget we ever saw it, there's no word as to what the new owner has decided to do with his find. [TMZ]
Viva la yoga revolucion! Russell Brand is fighting back against The Man, and by "man" we mean... a yoga studio. The comedian was apparently unhappy with the way his friend, yoga teacher Tej Kaur Kalsa, was being treated by her place of employment, so he inspired about half of the class — including Demi Moore — to walk out in support.

I like to give the occasional opposition article on some of the alternative future plans because its important to realize the proper strategies must be worked out for lower environment impact. Example Windturbines vs bat, is purely HAWT related or do VAWT systems do the same as well and if so which styles (VAWTS have lots of different styles) ones have the lowest impact.
This article is a hold on a second don't jump the gun just yet warning, we saw what happened to food prices and the resultant shortages when farmers & ethanol. This article is about Biochar and questions whether or not Terra Preata can be duplicated simply through low temperature charcoal as well as some overreaching claims about trapping carbon dioxide with biochar. In other words it asks was there a secret ingrediant or special mixing formula that we overlooked. I myself remember from some articles there is a microorganism involved in Terra Preata. So it may be that such an organism is entirely necessary and is entirely region dependent in which case it does little good to try to make Terra Praeta outside the Amazon, but weapparently don't know enough about the stuff to know yett according to the article.
Now outside the who weird burn/make charcoal to capture carbon dioxide weirdness, the only things I considered important about Terra Preata was it was good for crops, and if made correctly (that means proper strategies) it could replace some of the topsoil everyone has been losing due to industrial farming. On the personal side I see no reason why one should not add coooled organic charcoal from a family BBQ into the compost heap for ones garden, its matter of giving back to nature whats hers, if it improves ones garden's health so be it. But industrializing the process before proper studies and experimentation has proven valid is jumping the gun IMHO. In other words don't buy 12-30 dollar bags of charcoal for your garden or farm hoping to get Terra Preta until more data comes out.

Some have wondered if Blues coach Andy Murray's style of coaching has led the team's younger players to play a low-risk game. If they make a mistake, they fear he'll come down hard on them, limiting their playing time, etc.
Murray today that he has done nothing to create that type of environment.
"That doesn't come from (the coaching staff)," Murray said. "I spend all my time trying to dissolve that. How much has David Perron played this year? Should he be afraid about making a mistake? How much has T.J. Oshie played this year? How much has Patrik Berglund played? Do I keep playing them?
"If you're afraid of making a mistake because you're going to be benched, or the coach is going to yell at you, or scream at you . . . then there's something maybe we can do about it. But ultimately, isn't it the individual? You have to play the game. If you're playing afraid to make a mistake, you can't play the game. To me, to be honest with you, those are excuses. There shouldn't be anybody on our team that's playing afraid to make a mistake. If they are, then I don't want them out there. I've heard that . . . that guys are afraid to make (a mistake) . . . we'll that's good, but tell me why they would be afraid. Is the coach benching them?"
Wasn't he benched for a few shifts because he made a mistake in the Vancouver game where he also had a franking hat trick?? Quit talking out of your ass, Murray!

Calgary (8-4-1) at St. Louis (5-6-1)
Starting goalies are supposed to be:
Flames: Curtis McElhinney
Blues: Chris Mason
Eller's been called up. So, let's go Blues!!
A serious lack of offense has plagued the St. Louis Blues during their recent struggles at home. Hosting the Calgary Flames might not make things much better.
After being held scoreless in their last two games, the Blues look to avoid a third straight loss and fourth in a row at home Thursday night against the Flames.
St. Louis (5-6-1) has gone 123 minutes, 50 seconds without a goal after falling 4-0 at home to Florida on Saturday. That was two nights after a 2-0 loss to Phoenix at the Scottrade Center. Though the Blues won 5-2 at Carolina on Oct. 28, they've been outscored 10-1 while losing three in a row at home where they're 1-5-0 this season.
The Blues were last shut out in back-to-back home games from Nov. 20-22, 1997. They hadn't been blanked in consecutive games anywhere since Feb. 28-29, 2004 and have never gone three consecutive contests without a goal.
St. Louis is 3-6-1 since opening with consecutive victories over reigning Western Conference champion Detroit in Sweden.
"We've just got to find our game here," said forward Keith Tkachuk(notes), who has three of the Blues' 29 goals. "We're definitely off track. We just to find a way to work hard this week and try to get back."
Facing Calgary (8-4-1) might make that task even harder. Coming off a 3-2 victory in overtime at Dallas on Wednesday, the Flames have won three in a row and six of seven in St. Louis.
Jarome Iginla(notes), whose second goal of the night was the winner against the Stars, has 20 career goals against St. Louis and five with five assists in his last three road games against the Blues.
"Certainly Jarome's game was good, and not just because he scored two goals," said Flames coach Brent Sutter, whose team avoided a third straight loss. "He's a big, strong guy that gets in there in areas where he's hard to retain."
Though Curtis McElhinney(notes) made 38 saves and denied a second-period penalty shot in his second start of the season and 21st NHL game, Miikka Kiprusoff(notes) could back in Calgary's net after missing the game due to illness.
Based on Wednesday's effort, Sutter should feel confident playing McElhinney if Kiprusoff is not ready.
"He hasn't played in a while, and he stood tall and he was rewarded for it," Sutter said of McElhinney, who's 1-1-0 with a 2.98 goals-against average this season. "He had a great effort."
Kiprusoff is 7-3-1 with a 3.00 GAA this season and 13-3-1 with a 2.33 GAA all-time against the Blues.
St. Louis' Chris Mason(notes) made 23 saves against the Panthers and fell to 3-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA this season. Mason is 3-4-2 with a 3.44 GAA against Calgary.
Mason has been alternating starts lately with Ty Conklin(notes), who's 2-2-0 with a 2.34 GAA this season and 3-2-1 with a 3.17 career GAA versus the Flames.
It's uncertain if the Blues will have center Andy McDonald(notes) available after he went headfirst into the corner boards early in the third period and didn't return Saturday. McDonald's four goals are tied with Paul Kariya(notes) for the team lead.

Spay/Neuter Four American Pets at a Free Clinic
Roll over image to zoom in
Provide supplies for four pet spay or neuter surgeries, and help ensure that every cat or dog is loved and wanted!
In the United States, more than 3 million pets are euthanized each year. Spaying or neutering companion animals makes sure the all-too-numerous population of unwanted kittens and puppies doesn't grow, and gives dogs and cats already in shelters the best chance for adoption; but for people already struggling to make ends meet, the cost of spaying or neutering pets may pose a significant obstacle for owners.
Since 1985, The Remote Area Medical® (RAM) Volunteer Corps has conducted over 400 expeditions to deliver no-cost healthcare to communities that need it the most. Coordinating a steady stream of volunteer veterinarians and veterinary technicians, RAM provides free spay and neuter services, along with other treatments as needed, to towns that have asked for help. While the most common veterinary patients are dogs and cats, RAM also treats large animals in rural communities. The eventual goal of RAM Vet is to spay or neuter 100,000 animals throughout the U.S. and other areas in need worldwide.
You can help. This Gift That Gives More™ funds surgical supplies and anesthesia for the spay or neuter surgery for four companion animals at a free clinic. The professional veterinary expertise is donated; only the cost of the supplies is needed in order to accomplish this vital task. RAM has recently expanded its work to extend beyond remote, rural areas, and into large U.S. cities.
The Remote Area Medical® (RAM) Volunteer Corps provides free healthcare, dental care, eye care, veterinary services, and technical and educational assistance to people in remote areas of the United States and the world. Founded in 1985, RAM coordinates volunteer doctors, nurses, pilots, veterinarians and support workers in expeditions to provide no-cost healthcare in some of the world's most exciting places. Medical supplies, medicines, facilities and vehicles are donated. RAM expeditions have served people in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, Guatemala, Guyana, East Africa, India, Nepal, and more.

In this image I have attempted to represent the faceless people being sold within the world wide market of the the sex trade and child labor. According to the NGO, Protection Project, located in Washington D.C. about 2 million women and children are sold into the sex trade every year. Based on this statistic, the number five thousand represents the averaged number of people sold daily in one year based on this statistic. This is a violation of Article Four from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is in need of serious attention. My goal with this image is to communicate that these people being sold have no faces and thus no voices. They need others with more power and perspective to assist in the battle against inappropriate servitude. I used a cartoon aesthetic because I believe that cartoons are easily comprehended by many on an almost universal level. I should probably include some items or objects around the feet that may allude or communicate that these are meant to be children and young adults, as they appear now to be a bit older than I had hoped to depict.
Thank you for your time and expertise, ~Matt Wood

Skin lumps are any abnormal bumps or swellings on the skin.
Most lumps and swellings are benign (not cancerous) and are harmless, especially the kind that feel soft and roll easily under the fingers (such as lipomas).
A lump or swelling that appears suddenly (over 24 to 48 hours) and is painful is usually caused by an injury or an infection.
Skin lumps from trauma can be treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Most other lumps should be looked at by your health care provider before you try any home treatments.
Call your provider if there is any unexplained lump or swelling.
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms, including:
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics if you have an infection. If cancer is suspected or the diagnosis is not apparent on visual inspection, a biopsy may be done.

30 Ways to Freshen Every Room for Spring
Think of this as your ultimate cleaning checklist: Easy ways to get your kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room, laundry room, and patio in tip-top shape for spring.
By Kathy Barnes
Kitchen | Clean Around & Inside Appliances
Dirt, pet hair, and dust particles can build up behind your refrigerator, says Steve Ash of partselect.com. Airborne materials can block the appliances coils, restricting airflow through the appliance. Its worth it to pull out the refrigerator and vacuum the coils. Also, sanitize the dishwasher. Place a shallow dish of vinegar on the top rack of your dishwasher and run it (empty) on a long sanitation cycle to kill fungi.

The CAP Barbell SDRC Dumbbell Set is unlike traditional pro-style dumbbells that are assembled using different sized weights on a round shaft handle and secured with bolt on the ends. The SDRC dumbbells combine one-piece cast heads with steel inserts that are bolted onto the handle and then welded to secure the head for extra durability and safety.
The one-piece design offers many benefits you'll notice right away like the small compact size, more accurate weight, and precision balance of each dumbbell pair. Molded end caps with permanently marked numbers prevent stickers from coming off during use.

Sensors are the next step needed on the road to developing smarter buildings, and a new, very-low power device has been developed to allow information about window to be transmitted to a control system for a building without a need for extra building wiring or power supply. The sensors are self-powered by the sun through a tiny solar cell on top of the unit.
The sensors, developed by the Fraunhofer Institute, are small enough to fit inside the gap between the two panes of a typical double-pane window. The solar cell itself and the sensor electronics and transmitter are so small that they sit flat on the spacer and do not block any of the visibility between the two panes.
The sensor is able to detect when a window is opened or closed, and can transmit that information wirelessly to a building management system (BMS) controlling the building. Used in conjunction with motorized operators for the windows, this can allow for a building to be opened up for fresh air when conditions permit, and to close the building back up when needed, even if the room is unoccupied.
The sensor can also serve an intrusion detection function, if the window is jostled or changes position unexpectedly. The sensor uses solar power, and is able to charge an internal battery to allow it to continue to operate even at night (currently able to span about 30 hours of darkness). Putting the sensor package between the panes also minimizes the problems that could come with occupants tampering with the sensor.
Since a single room could have many windows, the wiring to provide this level of information to a BMS system has been prohibitive in most cases. But this could be a point where a new degree of smart materials helps make a building more responsive and allow occupants a greater degree of control over their environment in conjunction with an intelligently managed building system.

Mission Statement
Module Summary
This module is an implementation of the ISO 19107/OGC Topic 1 geometry interfaces, backed by the Java Topology Suite (JTS). As such, it is closely tied to the corresponding interfaces in the GeoAPI project and may be vulnerable to change.
- Java 1.4
- JTS 1.4+ (JTS 1.4 and 1.7 are known to work)
- GeoAPI 2.0 (Java 1.4 version)
- GeoTools Main Module (for BasicFactories)
Note that the direct dependencies on other GeoTools modules are primarily for the factories, which instantiate GeoAPI implementations. This module could be further isolated from the rest of GeoTools if it had some self-contained method of locating factories in other modules.
IP Issues
What needs to be done to "bless" this module? Can this be offloaded to some legal beagle?
Recent Development
For the 2.3.x branch the JTS Geometry module has:
- Been donated by Sys Technologies, inc.
- Been refactored into the GeoTools namespace by Colin Combe
- Been reviewed by Bryce.
Module Status
The JTS Geometry module is new code for 2.3.x. It is currently attached to issue GEOT-414. It will be committed to a branch in subversion early next week...
Outstanding Issues
Issues pertaining directly to this implementation:

Intelligent Evolution
12:09 pm in Uncategorized by E.L. Beck
"By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." – Genesis 2:2
And so the story of the universe's creation ends in Genesis.
Evolution versus creationism – or intelligent design – is a debate fraught with raw passions, much heat, but little in the way of light.
I always found it interesting when certain interpretations of the Genesis account of creation maintain it took place over the course of six 24-hour days. Yet, this flies in the face of what the Judaic and Christian scriptures reveals about God. Read the rest of this entry →

Secure Traceable Data
- Secure storage of networks, performance data, components and results in an industry standard relational database
- Audit trail & tracking of model design history with 'roll back' functionality
- Administration controls for user access permissions to project data
- Database synchronization to enable engineers to work safely onsite, offline from the server
Design Optimization Capability
The 'Experiments' feature in Flowmaster provides users with the ability to conduct superior 'what-if' analyses for 1D thermo-fluid analysis.
- Using a Latin Square algorithm, Flowmaster helps users generate unique combinations of distributed input values between specific bounds. This ability creates an ideal foundation for the creation of meta-models and response surfaces that characterize a Flowmaster system response
- Monte Carlo simulations can be performed to produce simulation results based on a probability distribution generated from a mean and standard deviation for selected input parameters. This allows the effect of small variations in input values to be examined and enables Flowmaster to be used in risk analysis and quality control environments such as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)
Unique 1D-3D Simulation for Thorough System Level Design
- Accurately characterize individual components in FloEFD 3D CFD software

Lizz is currently living my own personal dream - going to school for pattern design in one of the coolest cities in the world and calling her wardrobe "good" is a total understatement. When I first came across her blog I fell in love! Er, let me explain. I fell in love with her clothes! She makes sophisticated and classy designs with a touch of femininity and, if I do say so myself, 100% badassitude! I seriously want to sneak in her house at night and steal all of the clothes she's made! Wow, that sounds creepy... But really, it's as if someone else made all of the clothes I'd imagine I'd want to make. Well, while I'm experiencing some serious sewing swoon over here let's get on with the post, shall we? ***
Dixie DIY fans! I'm Lizz from A Good Wardrobe! I can't tell you how excited I was when Dixie approached me about a guest post. I knew that I wanted to share with you one of my favorite things about
sewing: pattern modification. It's amazing how tiny changes to an existing pattern can create an entirely different project. With just a few key patterns, you can create an endless amount of garments.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area which means that on any given day I could go through two or three major weather changes. Layering is a must - especially in the summer. I've been in desperate need of a lightweight cover up recently and my spring/fall cardigans are just too heavy for the job. I thought it would be fun to play around with Dixie's Summer Concert Tee to create a cardigan and show you all how to do the same.
Pattern: Dixie's Summer Concert Tee Pattern
Fabric: 2 yards of jersey fabric or other single knit that does not fray. It's important that the jersey's right side curls onto itself as this design utilizes the natural curling tendency for the collar.
Please refer to the pattern for additional supplies and instructions on working with knit fabrics.
1. Print and assemble the pattern but don't cut it out just yet.
2.Select your size according to the pattern's size chart. I'm in between sizes and chose to size up since this a loose fitting garment.
3. Draw a grain line parallel to the center front. We'll be modifying this piece and will need a grain line when cutting out later.
4. Using a curved ruler or freehand, draw a line extending from the high neckline point (where the neck and shoulder meet) to the center front. You can see mine in the photo - it's the blue line.
This is your new center front. When it's time, cut 2.
5. Draft a new collar piece.
- Measure the new center front from hemline to high neckline = a
- Measure back neckline from center back to high neckline = b
- (a + b - hem allowance of 1") x 2 = c
- Draft a new collar pattern 2" x measurement c
- Mark grain line running the length of the cross grain (selvedge to selvedge)
6. Cut pattern pieces out: front (cut 2), back (cut 1 on fold), sleeves (cut 2 on fold), and new collar piece (cut 1).
7. Follow the pattern directions steps 1 -4. At this point you will have the garment constructed and hemmed leaving only the collar to finish.
8. With right sides together attach the collar to the garment being careful not to stretch.
The collar hem
and side will be left unfinished.
That's it!
You can have this cardigan finished and ready to wear in an afternoon. I
hope you enjoy making it as much as I did. Happy sewing!

1 seven psychopethsoriginalsoulboy1 | 27/04/2013 | See all originalsoulboy1's reviews (5)Looking at the all star cast I thought you can't go wrong with this film. How was I wrong. very boring with too much talk and hardly any action. What little action there was I found quiet gory but I can not justyfy the price tag. Rent before you buy is my advice.
4 Funny, but too violentOldmanfuttock | 30/04/2013 | See all Oldmanfuttock's reviews (8)Liked this, Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken are great, they make the film, so if you like them you'll love it and visa versa.I don't think the trailer really does it justice, it wasn't what I was expecting.The down side was the gratuitous violence which really isn't needed, I guess this is in to lure the teen tarantino fans who I'm sure won't appreciate Walken's humble/reflective character. Saw this on TV but will be buying the blu-ray.Laughed out loud

Numerous studies have shown marijuana smoke to contain carcinogens and to be an irritant to the lungs. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50-70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which further increase the lungs' exposure to carcinogenic smoke. Marijuana smokers show dysregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue, which could lead to cancer; however, a recent case-controlled study found no positive associations between marijuana use and lung, upper respiratory, or upper digestive tract cancers. Thus, the link between marijuana smoking and these cancers remains unsubstantiated at this time. Nonetheless, marijuana smokers can have many of the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, and a heightened risk of lung infections. A study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers. Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses. (Source: National Institute on Drug Abuse)

While in Tokyo, Japan for this Saturday's UFC 144 super-card, martial arts aficionado Georges St-Pierre took the opportunity to train in the birthplace of hand-to-hand combat. The reigning UFC welterweight champion, who has always considered himself a martial artist first and foremost, takes instruction on how to use a katana (traditional Japanese curved sword) from children from the Kawai Kindergarden School in Tokyo. 'GSP' -- who has mastered so many martial arts and added them to his Octagon skillset -- was taken to school by the kids when it came to Kenjutsu. "In school in Canada, we play hockey," said St-Pierre. "I always wanted to be a Samurai when I was a kid, but those kids hit me pretty hard." St-Pierre fared much better when he visited the Kyokushin Karate school. The champ took an appreciative class through a series of katas (Japanese for 'form', practicing individual techniques) and was clearly very excited to be at the birthplace of the ancient martial art.

4 tickets per game available in section 305 row A seats 7-10. I will not split them up into pairs at this time. Great front row seats just one section away from the more expensive "center" seats. Closer to the goal the Blues shoot at during the first and third periods. In my opinion, these are the best seats for your money. Compare these to what's available through the box office and Stubhub and I think you'll agree.
I'm an eBay top-rated seller with 100% positive feedback (username Jason82807) I can accept PayPal or Chase Quickpay and mail the hard tickets for no additional fee.

Skin that has turned darker or lighter than normal is usually not a sign of a serious medical condition.
Hyperpigmentation; Hypopigmentation
Normal skin contains cells called melanocytes. These cells produce melanin , the substance that gives skin its color.
Skin with too much melanin is called hyperpigmented skin.
Skin with too little melanin is called hypopigmented skin.
Pale skin areas are due to too little melanin or underactive melanocytes. Darker areas of skin (or an area that tans more easily) occurs when you have more melanin or overactive melanocytes.
Bronzing of the skin may sometimes be mistaken for a suntan. This skin discoloration often develops slowly, starting at the elbows, knuckles, and knees and spreading from there. Bronzing may also be seen on the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands. The bronze color can range from light to dark (in fair-skinned people) with the degree of darkness due to the underlying cause.
Causes of hyperpigmentation include:
Causes of hypopigmentation include:
Over-the-counter and prescription creams are available for lightening the skin. If you use these creams, follow instructions carefully, and don't use one for more than 3 weeks at a time. Darker skin requires greater care when using these preparations. Cosmetics may also help cover a discoloration.
Avoid too much sun exposure. Always use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Abnormally dark skin may continue even after treatment. Experts recommend emotional support or counseling.
Call your doctor for an appointment if you have:
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms, including:
Tests that may be done include:
Your doctor may recommend creams, ointments, surgery, or phototherapy, depending on the type of skin condition you have. Bleaching creams can help lighten dark areas of skin.
Some skin color changes may return to normal without treatment.

Factor X (ten) deficiency is a disorder caused by too little of a protein called factor X in the blood. It leads to problems with normal blood clotting (coagulation).
Stuart-Prower deficiency
When you bleed, your body starts a series of reactions that help the blood clot. This is called the coagulation cascade. The process involves special proteins called coagulation factors. You can have a higher chance of excess bleeding when one or more of these clotting factors are missing.
Factor X deficiency is often caused by a defect in the factor X gene that is passed through families. This is called inherited factor X deficiency. Bleeding ranges from mild to severe depending on the extent of deficiency
Factor X deficiency may also develop due to another condition or use of medications. This is called "acquired factor X deficiency." Acquired factor X deficiency is common. It may be caused by:
Women with factor X deficiency may first be diagnosed when they have very heavy menstrual bleeding and bleeding after childbirth. The condition may be first noticed in newborn boys if they have bleeding that lasts longer than normal after circumcision.
Inherited factor X deficiency affects 1 out of every 500,000 people.
You can control blood loss by getting infusions of fresh or frozen plasma or concentrates of clotting factors into the blood. If you lack vitamin K, you can take vitamin K by mouth, through injections under the skin, or through a vein (intravenously).
Knowing that you have a bleeding disorder helps the doctor can take extra care if you need surgery. It also lets you alert also tell other family members who may have the same problem.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems.
The outcome is most often good if the condition is mild or you get treatment.
Inherited factor X deficiency is a life-long condition.
The outlook for acquired factor X deficiency depends on the cause. If it is caused by liver disease, the outcome depends on how well your liver disease can be treated. Taking vitamin K supplements will treat vitamin K deficiency. If the disorder is caused by amyloidosis, there are several treatment options, including surgery to remove your spleen.
Severe bleeding or sudden loss of blood (hemorrhage) can occur. The joints may get deformed in severe disease from many bleeds.
Get emergency medical help if you have an unexplained or severe loss of blood.
Inherited factor X deficiency is rare. There is no known prevention.

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Having been a member of over a dozen forums larger than this and running several myself, I find posts like this to serve no good for the board. As you can see its already turned into a snark-fest.Having noobs and crotchety Old members that are tired of seeing these old questions (and give snippy answers) is just the nature of an Internet forum. Just deal with it, ignore it, or move on!
FWIW it's in my profile and I've stated it several times in posts.
I've been active on lots of different forums for a long time now revolving around my many and varied hobbies. While some of them have been friendly and civil communities, others(most) have been like a daily war fought between rival factions. When I first got involved here, and at other pizza related sites like forno bravo, I noticed how friendly they were. People gave advice when they had some to give, and took advice when they needed a hand. Lately that seems to be changing. Both here and at Forno Bravo it seems like it is almost daily that a new member comes with questions and then does not like the answers given by more experienced members and begins arguing with them. It's something that I have seen many times on lots of other forums, but never on these pizza specific ones. It's especially disturbing to me because in the past I have seen this exact type of behavior turn a forum into a warzone. What gives and what can be done to help ease the problem?
It is not the anonymity, it happens to me at least once a week at work, usually more. A homeowner will call or come in and want advice on something like how to repair the unrepairable or how to half-ass fix something, or is trying to reinvent the wheel on something very simple and tried and true. As soon as they argue against the solicited advice, I consider the conversation over and simply ask how ELSE may I help them.
FWIW, and it may seem hard to believe, but this forum is actually infinitely more civilized than many other I have belonged to.
@MarkThe OP is most likely referring to this thread http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,22610.0.html and mine and Craig's mutual misunderstanding. Not much meat. These things happen when one is reading comments a little too fast, which happens to both old and new members alike. - Mike

This is my entry for the Halloween Literacy contest.
Fright Night
It is naught but the night of Halloween, the bats take flight in their little colony's, the ghosties rise from their tombstones, while the corpses sleep deep underneath. It is here we join our main character Angeliqua, the mega absol; dressed in but her favorite costume at that time of year, a long black billowing cloak, and a plastic scythe, is the grim reaper, as she is so lovingly called by superstitions, like every Halloween she would go out and trick-or-treat, and it being the last year she would be going, she decided to make it quite the fright night of her, and her friends night, she had planned to spend the night in House 4666 at the end of the curb, up the hill, past the large rusted iron gates, long rumored to be haunted and the house of a murder.
As she stepped down from her porch, approaching her friends with a big black treat bag, and a flashlight in her other hand, while she kept her plastic scythe hung over her shoulder. "Shall we go?" She asked her friends, a tall black cat girl, named Talia, with short spiked hair, dressed up as a lust demon that year, a short corgi boy, Emmet was his name, with thick rimmed glasses, who was dressed up as a mummy. Angeliqua glanced to her last friend, Regina, who was ever under a ghost costume like many years past, Funny, she thought to herself, I don't recall ever seeing her face before. She had been a new kid in town who moved in three years ago, and had never shown her face, always opting to wear her hood up, and keeping sunglasses on, claiming to be an albino to their teacher as an excuse.
As the night drew on, and they collected their candy, they drew closer and closer towards House 4666, on the curb of Short End Dr., their treat bags filled with candy, and everyone talking excitedly about what they had, slowly everyone was closing up for the night, either devoid of candy, or just too tired to keep open any longer, Angeliqua checked her watch, half past eleven. "Ah, it's nearly Witching Hour." She told her friends, smirking as she turned to them while she stood in front of those rusted old iron gates. "Why don't we go and spend the night in House 4666?" She asked her friends, everyone, except Regina giving her a scared look. "Come on! It'll be fun! Why not make our last Halloween together a fun one?!" She exclaimed. With a glance around among her friends and a simultaneous nod, they would make their way past the gate, which wasn't locked that night, strangely enough.
Approaching the big old house Emmet stopped in his tracks. "I saw someone in the window!" He barked, his tail moving between his legs. "Oh don't be silly!" Talia hissed at him as she helped Angeliqua remove the looser boards over the door. "I swear!" But it seems his words fell upon deaf ears and he would follow them inside. It was dark and dusty inside, many cobwebs littered the house, and covers thrown over old furniture. "Yuck…" Talia exclaimed, as she had always been quite the neat freak. "Alright, I'll sleep in the main bedroom." Angeliqua told everyone. "But that's where that kid was murdered!" Emmet once again cried. "Oh shut up you coward! It's just a rumor!" She sighed out, shaking her head. "Come on…everyone pick a place to sleep." She said as she ascended the stairs.
Once in the room she would settle onto the bed, it smelled musty, and was holey from where the moths had eaten it over the years. She was quite scared, but she was going to steel her nerves and show everyone she was a brave woman, not a scared child anymore. Slowly, as she drifted off to sleep, she thought she saw a person standing at the end of the bed out of the corner of her eye, but was fast asleep before she could think further on it.
"Aaah!" The screaming woke Angeliqua from her sound sleep, and she jumped with a start, running to the window that faced the front yard, she saw her friends, Talia, and Emmet run screaming from the house. "Wha-?! HEY!" She exclaimed, running from the room and down the stairs, heading for the door it slammed shut in front of her, and she found it locked! "What the-? Let me out! Help! Help!" She cried, banging on the door. "I apologize for all of this." She heard her friend Regina speak from behind her. "Reginar?" She whirled around "The door! The door it won't open! Wait…what did you say?!" "You..see, every sixty years I am allowed to leave the house, but only to attempt draw someone in, so that I may live again. It was I who convinced you to come to the house, to spend the night." Slowly the ghost costume started slipping, falling to the floor to reveal the hollow eyes of the white furred Persian cat who stood before her, transparent and bloodied all over some period clothing. "I'm afraid, Angeliqua…" He stated. "Tonight, you die, and I live." "What? What?! No! No! Noooo!" She screamed out as her once friend, Regina grabbed her neck.
"Hey Angeliqua, sorry for abandoning you last night." Talia told her as they took their seats in class. "Oh, it's no problem, Regina showed me a way out, I guess the front doors lock was screwed up some how." "Where is she anyways? Is she out sick?" She asked. "I guess, I didn't see where she went last night…" "Alright class, today we will be learning about…" Slowly Angeliqua turned her head towards the window and grinned, her long canine teeth gleaming back at her, and her red eyes glowed. Soon…this world will be mine. Very…very…soon. Ahahaha!
And so ends our lovely little Halloween tale. Sleep tight.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianNo equipment required! Which means less dishes to clean, which is always a good thing!
Best served cold, straight-out of the freezer because coconut oil will liquify again once warm.
This recipe makes approximately 15 drop cookies. These are super sweet and rich, so just one after dinner does a lot to satisfy that sugar fix!
Please note: the tahini is definitely the secret ingredient in this recipe. So do not try to substitute it with anything. (And do NOT use sesame seeds instead of real oily/liquidy tahini! The texture will be all screwy and not good if you do that. For realz!)

would it be ok to use cacao powder ? what do you think, and how much if yes?
Ginny's Review
Raw vanilla drop cookies
Dunno if I made them wrong or not, but they taste almost just like Rice Krispy treats to me.....which is AWESOME, I will be making them again :)
Can I use vanilla powder instead of drops?
I just recently went raw and was craving something cake batter like, these hit the spot! So yummy! I added pecans to the top of mine, and now I can't stop eating them :D
Kari's Review
Raw vanilla drop cookies
I consider this more of a macaroon than a cookie drop. That said, the flavor is good, but there's too much sugar in this recipe for my liking. My reason for seeking delicious raw vegan desserts is to avoid refined flour and sugar. In my second attempt at this recipe, I substituted one cup of shredded coconut with one cup almond meal, decreased the maple syrup to 1/4 cup and added raw chocolate bits. Your raw vegan brownie recipe is still my favorite :)
chace_Liotti's Review
Raw vanilla drop cookies
Don't like sweets much myself . But I do love nuts and coconut . I cut the salt and used less sweet . Still very good .
Lauren's Review
Raw vanilla drop cookies
made dehydrated "macaroons" and added the juice and zest of a lime. great recipe!
*the coconut oil dehydrated fine- made them nice and chewy
Can u use coconut nectar instead if the other sweeteners u have suggested?
eggy's Review
Raw vanilla drop cookies
Love these cookies made them for the second time today and still great. It feels good knowing you can eat something really good and it doesn't have to be unhealthy.
Hi There,
Do you use hulled or unhulled tahini? :-)
Danielle (aka The Quirky Calorie)
Sherelle's Review
Raw vanilla drop cookies
Oh my goodness!!!! Tasting the first step (the ingredients without the coconut) was amazing!!! I don't like tahini but mixed with everything else wow! I think I will use that sauce as a butterscotch type sauce on cakes/muffins etc or maybe freeze it as butterscotch lollies. I am new to dehydrating, do you think you could dehydrate the sauce and have as rollups? Wow again! Now I am patiently waiting until they set.
Hi Sherelle,
So glad you enjoyed!
I don't like tahini on its own either, but it's kind of like butter - not something that you just eat alone, but in the right combo it is GOOD haha.
nice ideas re: sauce and candies!
re: dehydrating - if you try it, do it without the coconut oil and do not use honey (since neither of those ingredients dehydrate well)

Enamel Tea Kettle, Green
Stylin' Teapot
I really like the look and color of this teapot and it whistles too. It doesn't leak from the top when you pour and boils more evenly than my last teapot.
August 1, 2013
First one broke, Second one Broke
Had to stop to write a review for this tea kettle. It was inexpensive and looked great in my kitchen. I brought the first one home happily but after the first use, the black spout cover/whistle was stuck open, the spring or whatever it was had broken. I couldn't shut it, and thus the kettle didn't whistle or close. I went back and asked for a new one, brought it home, and the whistle fell out of the top in three days. The glue just came undone - I guess, and the metal part fell out. Together with the other review for the blue model that says she returned a dented kettle and received another dented kettle, this tea kettle is clearly a mistake for the World Market.

Dr. Robin Lind, Westminster College associate professor of music and director of choral activities, was guest conductor for the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association's District 3 Chorus Festival Feb. 7-8 at Franklin High School.
Lind was invited by Westminster alumna Katie Schultz Greig '06, Franklin High School's choral director, to conduct the choir of 189 senior high students from 33 schools in district 3.
In addition to Greig, Westminster alumni Deanna Owens '11 from Brookville and Kevin Rush '05 from Brockway accompanied students from their schools to the festival.
Lind selected 10 songs that the students rehearsed for 12 hours Thursday and 7 hours Friday before attending a banquet and presenting a concert for family and friends Friday evening.
"That makes for very long days, but the students were excellent," Lind said. "They came very well prepared by their directors and were extremely attentive during the entire event."
Lind, who joined the Westminster faculty in 2000, earned an undergraduate degree from the College of Idaho, a master's degree from the University of Oregon, and Ph.D. from the University of Utah.
Contact Lind at (724) 946-7278 or email for more information.
