LSCU COOP / Communication & Press Room / News Feed / Top Stories / Florida MBL co-sponsors grows to six
Florida MBL co-sponsors grows to six
In the past two weeks, five members of Florida's Congressional delegation have seen the wisdom of raising the credit union member business lending cap. Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) and Rep. Suzanne Kosmas (D-FL) are the latest to lend their names to HR 3380, Promoting Lending to America's Small Businesses Act of 2009. They join a bi-partisan group that includes Rep. Corinne Brown (D-FL), Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL).
The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) and Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), currently has 99 members of the House as co-sponsors. HR 3380 would lift the current credit union member business lending cap from 12.25 percent to 25 percent. CUNA estimates that as much as $10 billion dollars can be infused into the small business marketplace if the cap were raised. That could equate to as many as 108,000 new jobs created.
"The LSCU's number of co-sponsors for HR 3380 continues to grow," said LSCU President/CEO Patrick La Pine. "This means our delegation clearly sees the best road to recovery will be through small business growth in Florida. Our delegation recognizes that credit unions can play a key part in this recovery, if the cap were raised."
Rep. Suzanne Kosmas (D-FL) |

Finding gems in troubled tech funds
Technology investment funds are taking a beating, ranking nearly dead last among more than a dozen categories of domestic stock funds tracked by mutual research company Morningstar.
But even though all of the 75 specialty technology funds listed by Morningstar are down year-to-date, some of the portfolio managers have found ways to minimize the carnage, which has seen the category pushed into the red by an average of 19.16 percent as of Friday.
Within tech funds, an index approach has proved to be a more successful strategy in this current climate, as evidenced by the North Track NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index Funds.. … Read more

Tosca's Rome
The Play and the Opera in Historical Perspective
By far the most "historical" opera in the active repertoire, Tosca is set in a very specific time and place: Rome, from June 17 to 18, 1800. But as Nicassio demonstrates, history in Tosca is distorted by nationalism and by the vehement anticlerical perceptions of papal Rome shared by Sardou, Puccini, and the librettists. To provide the historical background necessary for understanding Tosca, Nicassio takes a detailed look at Rome in 1800 as each of Tosca's main characters would have seen it—the painter Cavaradossi, the singer Tosca, and the policeman Scarpia. Finally, she provides a scene-by-scene musical and dramatic analysis of the opera.
"[Nicassio] must be the only living historian who can boast that she once sang the role of Tosca. Her deep knowledge of Puccini's score is only to be expected, but her understanding of daily and political life in Rome at the close of the 18th century is an unanticipated pleasure. She has steeped herself in the period and its prevailing culture-literary, artistic, and musical-and has come up with an unusual, and unusually entertaining, history."—Paul Bailey, Daily Telegraph
"In Tosca's Rome, Susan Vandiver Nicassio . . . orchestrates a wealth of detail without losing view of the opera and its pleasures. . . . Nicassio aims for opera fans and for historians: she may well enthrall both."—Publishers Weekly
"This is the book that ranks highest in my estimation as the most in-depth, and yet highly entertaining, journey into the story of the making of Tosca."—Catherine Malfitano
"Nicassio's prose . . . is lively and approachable. There is plenty here to intrigue everyone-seasoned opera lovers, musical novices, history buffs, and Italophiles."—Library Journal

Short term loans can be a wonderful way to deal with financial urgencies. Because the application process for short term loans only takes minutes, one can meet his or her financial obligations sooner rather than later. Obtaining short term cash loans is much easier than attempting to obtain a personal loan from one's local bank. To take out a personal loan, one usually must have a perfect credit score and credit history.
One of the major benefits of taking out short term cash loans is the ease of the application process. The only requirements for taking out a short term cash loan are that one have full-time employment and receive a weekly or monthly paycheck. There are some other basic requirements that must be met, such as being at least 18 years of age and being a resident of the United Kingdom.
There is no need to feel embarrassed about taking out payday loans. Depending on the outlook of your financial situation, a short term cash loan may provide the instant stability your family needs. These days, some families are barely making it from one month to the next. Some families struggle to have extra cash to afford groceries or gasoline. If you are in this situation, then why not consider payday loans to meet the immediate needs of your family members?
When you apply for a short term cash loan or PayDay Loans, you will need to furnish documents that prove your employment. You should also be sure to have a bank account set up for transactions between you and the lender. Having a bank account set up will allow you to receive direct deposits of cash from the lender. Payday loans can provide just the help you need at anytime you may need it.

Rating : 9.7 out of 10
Michael Wayne is out running and stops at his friend Rick Turner's place to pick up his bike. Rick invites him to use the sauna that he has. Things really heat up in the sauna when Rick asks Michael if he has ever had a blow job from another guy. Michael hasn't but doesn't refuse Rick when he asks politely if he can suck his cock. When they're done in the sauna Rick and Michael clean up with a shower shot in the bathroom...filling their asses and spraying them out.

I am just absolutely livid with overstock after this purchase. Let me say that I know it is my own fault for listening to my husband and not returning this bedset but I should have! First, this bedding was supposed to be a polycotton blend but looking at all the tags on the merchandise it says 100% POLYESTER. No cotton whatsoever, Second, the bedding runs really small for a queen. Third, the designs you see on the comforter are actually a cheap velvety type material. Fourth, said velvety material came out of the bag missing pieces of their design in certain places. Fifth, this blanket it ITCHY. I have washed it twice now and it is still ITCHY. Needless to say I am pissed and spent 100 dollars on something that I have contemplated giving to charity but may actually have to trash because I would feel like a real jerk giving such a terrible set to ANYBODY. The only positive I can say is that it was nice the bedset came with sheets and pillowcases/shams and it looks nice from far away. But itchy! What the heck overstock!?
The product came in very fast. I love the colors the picture does it no justice. The only thing I don't like is that the width is to short. I got the California King Set and the comforter is the right length but the sids (wideth) is short. This is the second one I have ordered that's like that. But all in all I love the set. Even my husband likes it and I thought he might have thought it was to girly for him. So thank you for offering such a beautiful set at a price that was in my budget. Keep up the good work and love it.
I like the pattern a lot, but the bedspread isn't big enough and the skirt is very cheap! I ripped it putting it on the bed.
This product is very cozy!!! I'm very pleased w/it

How do you tell yourself to stop doing something that makes you happy? If doing it provides you the feeling of comfort, why would you want to put a stop to it, right? Perhaps it may seem as if making you quit smoking is asking too much but when health reasons come in, you'll know that it has always been the better thing to do.
How do you teach yourself to quit smoking? There is no better way to begin than to tell yourself you're going to die if you continue doing it. But what if there is an alternative option, that's a lot cheaper and definitely healthier too, would you go for it? You must have heard of V2 cigarettes at some point in your life. If you didn't mind it in the beginning, you might be glad to know that it is the healthier alternative to tobacco cigarette smoking.
In the advent of e-cigarette smoking, smokers don't have to worry about not getting that feeling of satisfaction. What is particularly special about the e-cigs that V2 offers is that it simulates the feeling of gratification as if one is consuming the regular, more traditional tobacco cigarettes minus the health risks. What could be better news than that?
V2 Cigarettes has become the leading provider of e-cigarettes in the market today. If you want to explore electronic cigarette smoking, it is best to start with what V2 has got to offer. For the first time in years, smoking has been considered as something economical and environment-friendly. V2 has provided smokers with the healthier options, especially to those who have tried so hard to quit smoking but failed, again and again.
V2 Cigs Coupon Codes and Sales?
February 27-28 2014, V2cigs.com is having a two day end of month sale. This sale is actually bigger than cyber monday, but ALMOST as big as the last sale a month prior where they were giving huge discounts.
More than the positive effects that it has on smokers, V2 e-cigarettes also recognizes that value of their consumers; thus they have provided them with online v2 coupon codes that they can use to get discounts when they buy v2 cigs disposables or their beginners kit and even refills to their e-juices. Advanced users with may be interested in items like the V2 cigs "Ex-Blanks". These exclusive coupons are given out because they recognize the value that people give on their hard-earned money. Also, the V2 cigs coupon code is their way of showing sincere gratitude to those who continue to help spread the word that not all smoking activities can kill you.
You don't have to quit smoking if you don't want to. Instead, shift to the use of electronic cigarettes and you'll know you're with the better option. At V2cigarettes, your health is the primary concern. With e-cigarettes, you don't have to give up what makes you happy in order to be healthy. You can have both – smoking and good health – without the costs.

Far from the taboo of the Victorian era and the hedonism of the `70s and `80s, sex has adopted a brand new image in the New Agethat of being much more than just satisfaction of a biological need. Sexuality today is, arguably, yet another mode of personal growth.

SpruceHouse Ukuleles
Sprucehouse ukuleles are made by Al McWhorter in Eugene, Oregan. I've never heard, nevermind played, a SpruceHouse ukulele. But his uke building philosophy certainly appeals to me: "Simplicity is Elegance. The most successful designs are those that make the most of the least... Like the vintage Martin and Kamaka instruments that I admire so much, SpruceHouse Ukuleles are very light and a little plain. But there is nothing plain about the sound."

4e Encounter Design... Why does it or doesn't it work for you?
Was thinking on this recently and was wondering about it mostly from the perspective of the 4e fans who claim that the encounter guidelines "work" in 4e. What does this mean? What is the criteria being used to determine this? Is a challenging encounter usually "challenging"? If so how do you relate this descriptor to what actually happens in an encounter? Same for easy and hard as well.
On the other hand I would also be interested in hearing from those for which the guidelines don't work and why that is... In general is a hard encounter usually a cakewalk? Is challenging too easy? How do you view the descriptors of easy/challenging/hard and do 4e's encounter guidelines fall in line or outside of what you picture these descriptors as representing?Nobody built like me, I designed myself ...as an

ø Ignore DerekSTheRedMost of my encounter design is building a dungeon and populating it with monsters. These monsters might be separate encounters or they might overlap depending on how the PCs behave. For instance, a sentry might escape and alert a larger force of the PCs arrival. If the PCs kill the sentry before he can raise the alram, that makes the larger force easier to overcome. To get something similar in 4E, you have to build the encounter with the sentry as a skill challenge or some other contrived encounter. It just doesn't feel natural to me.
That's not to say that 4E type encounter design is all bad. When I ran an adventure in a city with each encounter completely separate from the other envounters, 4E style design worked well. It also worked well for a big climatic final battle type conclusion.
My most common case of building a dungeon and putting monsters in it and creating defenses for them didn't work with 4E though. I'd rather have it as an optional way to build encounters for special cases instead of the default way though.

ø Ignore Tequila SunriseWhat I love about 4e encounter design is its accuracy. This means that, yes, a 'challenging' encounter is challenging and so on. It also means that monster level is an accurate gauge of how much threat each monster adds to an encounter.
Why do I love all of this accuracy? Because it means the risk of accidentally TPKing my party, or of boring them to death, is very low.
Oddly, I don't have the problem that Derek has with those 'kill the sentry before he sounds the alarm' encounters. If the PCs can gank the sentry before he takes his turn, they get an easy encounter. If not, they have a hard encounter.Last edited by Tequila Sunrise; Sunday, 18th November, 2012 at 04:08 PM.

ø Ignore MatthewJHansonThings that I like about them include that they're easy to balance and easy to create. The XP guidelines and monster XP values give a good indication of the encounter's difficulty in most situations.
The thing that I don't like has been covered many times on this board: challenging encounters tend to be long, which can end up being grindy.
I'm not sure why you say that. I've run sentries as monsters before. Yes it's below the PCs expected encounter budget, but that's okay.

ø Ignore RechanFor me it's easier to access the threat level or encounter difficulty; XP budgets are easier for me to grasp than 3e's CR/EL system, which was very much more of an art than a science. Furthermore, the XP budget helps track. The same XP budget can translate to different things (an elite 7th level monster is 600 xp. 1 of them make an encounter for 6 1st level PCs, one of 6 monsters against the same group at level 12, and so on). An XP budget lets you build with a variety of different levels of monsters, while still getting the same relative oomf.
Monster roles make it easier to grok what monsters can do quickly, and what I can expect from them/how to use them more aptly, and what I need in an encounter. Monster roles also help if I wanted to build an encounter when I have a smaller group.
I also like that 4e has it so that 1 PC = 1 monster of equal level. This means I get to use more monsters in an encounter.
Not to mention that I've broken down all the to hit/damage/hit points of monster roles by level on a table, and just looking at it, I can quickly assemble an encounter on the fly. With all the math done, all I have to do is think of a few quick powers to differentiate the monsters and boom.
Edit: I found this great post by @S'mon that explains what I mean by the Xp budget and verisimilitude greatly:
8th level guards in 1e-3e were not credible, but in 4e a 9th level guard is only 'worth' 4 1st level guards, the scaling is such that 'high' level NPCs are not a problem and don't violate any setting assumptions around demographics.
The 4e inherent bonuses system obviates the need for magic items, likewise.
Edit: In 4e, rather than have 9th level guards suddenly appear, they can always be 400 XP creatures and you scale the stats to the PCs - 5th level Elites, 9th level Standards, or 17th level Minions. I'd use those stats for crack troops in my Forgotten Realms game.Last edited by Rechan; Monday, 19th November, 2012 at 04:55 AM.

ø Ignore StorminatorI find making 4e encounters pretty easy, but I don't use the official guidelines. I go with 1 monster of equal level per PC, with half of them as Elites is a fairly ordinary encounter. I have 7 PCs, so the extra synergies the big party creates overcomes the 3 Elites.
I tend to notice that right after they level up I'm a bit behind the curve. 9th level was especially brutal, as I had no idea how awesome Blade Barrier was going to be in the cramped quarters of that particular fight.
I gave up on dungeon crawls a long time ago, so I can't really address the OP. I've done 3 "dungeon crawls" in 4e. Two of them I did as extended skill challenges (all the exploration and mapping were skill challenges) with two or three large set piece battles. I threw small encounters in as group checks (everyone hit AC20, an at will give 1 success, an encounter 2, and a daily 3, each failure costs a surge, and group failure costs another). The third as a raid on a rival clan, and that was more traditional. I had a number of guard posts with level equivalent encounters and a roaming guard that was another level equivalent encounter that I knew was going to be added to an existing encounter - that was brutal. But that "dungeon" also had over half the complex mapped out due to scouting, so there wasn't a lot of exploration to it. The players also knew there would be no extended rest during the entire raid, so they knew they had to husband their resources.

ø Ignore KlausYou can populate a dungeon like that, using the creatures' level as a general gauge of which creatures to include (monsters 5 levels or more above party level are generally too tough, even if their XP fall within the level's budget).
And you can have sentries that run and warn larger groups. In fact, several published adventures have that possibility, with an encounter being listed as, say, "level 8+", meaning that it is encounter 8 as written, but more creatures will arrive and the encounter will increase in difficulty if the PCs don't act on it.Claudio Pozas

ø Ignore QuickleafSo, you're asking what is a challenging encounter, right? Really that depends on play style and is going to vary by group, even in 4e.
Overall, yes the 4e encounter building guidelines are a good starting point to allow the DM to predict roughly how difficult an encounter will be for a party of five PCs - how many resources the PCs will use, whether it is likely that a PC could die, the perceived tension of the players, etc.
However, once you start getting into larger/smaller parties, creative player use of rituals or high-level spells, start breaking the rules as a DM (eg. Lateral thinking encounters), include game-changing terrain powers or support, have alternate objectives besides "kill all monsters", and so forth, you quickly are in more advanced territory than a simple numbers game.
IME 4e encounter design has a good math basis, perhaps better than any previous edition's encounter building guidelines, but there is still very much an art to it.
On the other hand I would also be interested in hearing from those for which the guidelines don't work and why that is... In general is a hard encounter usually a cakewalk? Is challenging too easy? How do you view the descriptors of easy/challenging/hard and do 4e's encounter guidelines fall in line or outside of what you picture these descriptors as representing?
We haven't finished the fight yet but it seems like an almost even match. I'd say the PCs have a 40-50% chance of defeating the dragon with more alive than dead/unconscious, depending on their tactics, dice rolls, and outside-of-the-box thinking. And maybe a 60-70% chance of defeating the dragon with 1 or 2 PCs left standing.
So not a cakewalk by any means.

The tragic death of 12-year-old Santos Chavez, a student at Delta Middle School, resulted in an immediate response from school administrators and district staff.
Assistant superintendent Kurt Clay explains that in times of crisis, school psychologists, counselors and administrators meet early in the morning to discuss how and what they'll tell students.
The message is based on the family's wishes, he said, as well as the age and maturity level of the students.
"We never want to mislead kids," he said, "and we never want to tell them subtleties they can interpret differently. It's important the message be direct and truthful, so we don't lose credibility."
Follow-up is a critical piece, Clay said. The school psychologists and counselors are contacting the kids who had a particularly tough week. It's fall break and kids may be home alone, so it's doubly important to make sure somebody touches base with them, Clay said.
Youth ministers from throughout the community have also been involved. As volunteers in the school, they have established relationships with students and staff members who have also been affected by the death.
Santos Chavez was a well-liked student who excelled both academically and athletically. He has been described as happy, energetic and a role model. Many find it difficult to believe that such a promising young man would take his own life.
Although Chief Robert Thomas said the Delta Police Department has not completed its investigation, he agrees with the coroner's determination that the death was caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The DPD's investigation is concerned with the "why."
An estimated 1,000 people attended a funeral service which was held at St. Michael's Catholic Church last week. Santos is survived by his parents and two siblings, as well as grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.

Falcons Need to Focus Early - Ziegler |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
But, success hasn't come easy for the Falcons says captain Mike Ziegler and while his team may have a reputation as a power in the Midwest, they have established another reputation they don't really want to take credit. "We have sort of a reputation of coming out flat in games and lacking focus in our games," Ziegler told RUGBYMag.com. "It usually takes a gut check or two for us to wake up and realize that we have a game going on." The game against Northern Illinois was a good example, as the Huskies came out immediately and popped the Falcons right in the mouth. Before anyone knew what was going on, Bowling Green found themselves down 12-0 and had to take a mental timeout from the game to regroup and gather everyone under the posts for a little chat. "Everyone was asking the question: 'What are we doing right now? This isn't our style of rugby,'" Ziegler recalled. "We knew that if we didn't get back to our game plan of playing for territory and with a lot of structure, there was a good chance we were going down." So, the Falcons went back to what they do best. "For whatever reason, we underestimate a lot of the opponents we play and that has to stop," said Ziegler. "Teams have a lot of great potential on their rosters, but just lack structure and experience; two things we have plenty of having been at this level. Sooner or later, teams are going to start to surprise." That lack of experience is due to the fact that the newly formed MAC Conference has teams that haven't played at the DI-AA level. The Falcons are the only team in this conference who haven't had to make that transition. That experience has been one of things that has saved them. "NIU did a really good job of hitting us early," Ziegler said. "Only thing was they weren't really able to maintain it because of their lack of structure. They really just tried to outplay us without experience and structure and that's when they started to fall behind." Bowling Green players and coaches know they are the favorite to win the conference which puts that target on their backs every weekend. What makes the Falcons able to recover their pattern so quickly? Their core players and experience others lack at this level. "Even though we have some guys with limited game experience and some that play out of position, we have been able to maintain a great core of players for as long as I have been here," Ziegler said. "We lost the Santa Barbara in the Final Fours last year and now we are extremely hungry to get back because once you experience that, you can never let it go." They certainly have the tools to do it with a lot of great talent in Ziegler himself, center Dominic Maur leading an experience backline and a tight group of forwards that have been working tirelessly to get themselves better. With the addition of former London Wasps player Dave Laham as their forwards coach, it's only going to be a matter of time before this team gets even more dangerous. "The forwards are out on our days off working with Dave on lineout and set pieces; constantly trying to work out the kinks and perfect their craft," Ziegler said. "They got pushed around a bit in our first games and took it personally. They are out there right now just making themselves better and more prepared for next weekend." For Bowling Green, it will be welcoming the Ball State Cardinals into town; a team that has started slow, but is in no way a pushover. Bowling Green knows that and is looking forward to yet another weekend challenge, and have learned they need to start the match stronger. |

Careful With That Cartridge, Mikey
The program of seminars and workshops has been an important part of the Home Entertainment Show since its inception in 1987. For the past few years, Sunday afternoon has been the time for Stereophile Senior Editor Michael Fremer's guide to getting the best from LP playback. At this year's action-packed session, he showed a packed house to how to mount and align a phono cartridge on a VPI turntable, aided with close-up video help from Dave of Show contractor Moorea Marketing.
Submitted by andrew Dillon on May 17, 2007 - 7:03pm.
The fact that Mike Fremer would do this 'live' speaks volumes, I have to say. The process is destined to have hiccups, and to invite sneers and ridicule form those standing safely on the side. Whatever one thinks of Mikey's advocacy of vinyl, I have to admire the willingess to engage publicly in this act.

Parker competes at State MeetNovember 14, 2012, 10:15 am by Wayne Craig Burnet junior Joe Parker represented the Burnet Cross Country team Saturday at the State Meet which was held at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock. Parker did an awesome job taking 24 out of 104 of the states best runners with a 5K time of 17:24. "To help put his placing into perspective, Joe placed 10 at Regionals, but at the State Meet he placed fifth compared to the same athletes from his region who also qualified for state, said coach Stuart Dixon. Parker moved to Burnet with his parents, Tim and Julie from Milwaukee, Wisconsin in his sixth grade year and thats where his cross country career officially began, although he says he has always had a love for the sport. "When I was little I used to have my Grandpa time me running around a big circle in our neighborhood, said Parker. |

Pro Football Zone:
According to Bill Williamson of ESPN.com, the Oakland Raiders plan on releasing cornerback Ronald Bartell today.
According to an NFL source close to the situation, starting cornerback Ronald Bartell has been told by the Raiders he will be released Monday. Bartell signed a one-year deal with Oakland with hopes he would return to his form prior to a neck injury that kept him out of 15 games with St. Louis last season.
Bartell is a very talented player, but injures have gotten the best of him during his career.

Leg Pain DiagnosisThe evaluation of leg pain always begins with the care provider interviewing the patient and performing a physical examination to help determine the potential cause of the leg pain and what direction testing may need to take to confirm a diagnosis. Sometimes testing and X-rays are not required. Blood Tests Infection and inflammation may be detected by blood tests, including a white blood cell count, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and a C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement. These are nonspecific tests that may give further direction to the care provider. Please note that the white blood cell count may be elevated with an infection unless the patient has some immune system compromise, at which point it may be falsely normal. As with all tests, the ESR and CRP, if elevated, need to be interpreted in light of the specific illness that is being considered. If gout is a consideration, a blood test to measure uric acid may be done; however, in the acute attack, the uric acid level may be high, low, or normal. The result is helpful if the level is high and may confirm a gout flare if supported by the history and physical examination. Other blood tests may be considered depending upon the underlying medical illnesses being considered. Imaging

Meet Twiggy (or be reintroduced to her): After seeing her a-line, above the knee dresses that she was known for, we were hooked!
Twiggy's style would take a basic, a-line dress and mix/match collar styles (high neck, peter pan, or no collar) and different sleeve lengths, depending on the season. Color blocking was used from time to time as well.
To determine the "Twiggy Look," we did countless google image searches...found THE LOOK we were going for, and began our "Fashion Icon Quest."
Our fabric selection, again, was geared toward the 1960s and the fall season that was quickly approaching. We also chose to make this outfit with long sleeves, in the hope it will last through the fall months.
Covered buttons were placed on the center tab (as well as the back closure), drawing attention to the clean lines and piping details of the dress, collar, and sleeves.
Afterwards, we attached an a-line skirt underneath the faux belt. While there were so many other components that Twiggy incorporated in her various wardrobe pieces, most outfits were classic and clean with simple lines and details. So, we tried to do just that: keep it simple and classic.
We couldn't have asked for a better photo session with the niece! She was adorable, cooperative, sweet, etc. etc. In fact, while we were taking the photos, she assisted in 'choosing' her own spots for pictures. Of course, we had to throw in a little knee sock action...for Twiggy's sake.

Porphyria arises from a disruption in your body's production of a substance called heme.
Heme is found in all of your tissues, but the largest amounts are in your red blood cells, bone marrow and liver. Heme is a major component of hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that gives your blood its red color. Hemoglobin enables red blood cells to carry oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body, and to carry carbon dioxide from other parts of your body to your lungs so that it can be released when you exhale.
Eight enzymes convert chemicals called porphyrins into heme. In porphyria, an inherited mutation in one of the genes involved in heme production can cause an enzyme deficiency, which can lead to porphyrins building up in your body. Although porphyrins are normal body chemicals, it's not normal for them to build up.
Most of the porphyrias are inherited. Some forms of the disease come from inheriting a defective gene from one of your parents (autosomal dominant pattern). Some other forms come from inheriting defective genes from both parents (autosomal recessive pattern). These gene defects cause one or more of the enzymes involved in the process of converting porphyrins to heme to be abnormal.
Just because you have inherited a gene or genes that can cause porphyria doesn't mean that you will exhibit signs and symptoms. You might have what's called latent porphyria, and never have signs and symptoms. This is the case for most carriers of the abnormal genes.
Additionally, environmental factors may trigger the development of signs and symptoms in some types of porphyria. When exposed to the trigger, your body's demand for heme production increases. This overwhelms the deficient enzyme, setting in motion a process that causes your signs and symptoms. Common triggers include:
