Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix, the lower, narrow end of your uterus that opens into your vagina. Most cases of cervicitis are without symptoms (asymptomatic) and of little consequence; however, some cases of cervicitis are caused by infection with sexually transmitted diseases, including gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Successful treatment of cervicitis may involve addressing the cause of the inflammation. In some cases of cervicitis, antibiotics are used to clear an underlying infection.
You can reduce your risk of developing significant cervicitis by practicing safer sex and by following your doctor's recommended Pap screening schedule.
Most often, cervicitis causes no signs and symptoms, and you may only learn you have the condition after a Pap test or a biopsy for another condition. If you do have signs and symptoms, they may include:
When to see a doctor
Often, cervicitis produces no signs and symptoms and may be discovered only in the course of a routine Pap test — a good reason to have regular pelvic exams and Pap tests.
Two types of cells line your cervix: flat, skin-like cells (squamous cells) and glandular cells that secrete mucus. The same organisms responsible for vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina, can cause cervicitis.
Your cervix acts as a barrier to keep bacteria and viruses that come in contact with your vagina from entering your uterus. However, when bacteria and viruses infect the cervix, they cause inflammation and may increase the risk that the infection will travel into your uterus.
Possible causes of cervicitis include:
Female reproductive system
The ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and vagina make up the female reproductive system. ...
With cervicitis, an inflammation of your cervix, your cervix appears red and irritated and may produce a gray or yellow pus-like discharge. ...
Risk factors
You're at greater risk of getting cervicitis associated with STDs if you:
You may also be at increased risk if you have sex with a partner who has engaged in high-risk sexual behavior or has had a sexually transmitted disease.
Cervicitis that's caused by gonorrhea or chlamydia can spread to the uterine lining and the fallopian tubes, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), an infection of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix and ovaries. Women who develop PID may experience pelvic pain, fever and vaginal discharge, or have no signs or symptoms. PID may be detected only later when a woman has trouble becoming pregnant and learns that her reproductive organs have been damaged.
Preparing for your appointment
Cervicitis is most often discovered incidentally during a routine pelvic exam and Pap test and often doesn't require treatment. If, however, you experience unusual vaginal symptoms that lead you to schedule an appointment, you'll most likely see a gynecologist, family doctor or other health care provider.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
Also make a list of all medications or supplements you're taking or any allergies you have. Write down questions to ask your doctor. Some basic questions include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment if you don't understand something.
Questions your doctor may ask
Tests and diagnosis
Your doctor will likely perform a physical examination, including:
Pelvic examination
In a pelvic exam, your physician inserts two gloved fingers inside your vagina. While simultaneously pressing down on your abdomen, he or she can examine your uterus, ovaries and other organs. ...
Treatments and drugs
You may not need treatment for cervicitis that's not caused by an STD. If the cause is an STD, both you and your partner are likely to need treatment.
Prescription medications often can clear up the inflammation of cervicitis. Treatment for a bacterial infection is with an antibiotic. If the cause is viral, such as genital herpes, the treatment is an antiviral medication. However, antiviral medication doesn't cure herpes, which is a chronic condition.
To avoid passing an infection along to your partner, abstain from sexual intercourse until you're finished with the treatment recommended by your doctor.
One of the best ways to reduce the risk of cervicitis from STDs is to practice safer sex. Women who become sexually active at a later age and those in monogamous relationships are at a lower risk of getting cervicitis than are those who become sexually active early in life and who have multiple partners.
Using a latex condom during intercourse reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections. However, some women have allergies to latex condoms or to spermicidal jelly, which is used with condoms to prevent pregnancy. If you're allergic to latex, you'll need to use a nonlatex condom or another method of birth control. No other birth control method besides condoms protects against STDs.

Five months ago, I took one of our twelve suitcases out of storage, dusted it off, opened it up, and crammed in all my clothes, three photo albums, my mom's journals, a bag — (ok, fine, three bags) — of assorted hair and makeup products that I had collected before leaving Los Angeles, the soft zebra dress my daughter wore as a baby, and the tiny cotton onesie with the sheep parading up and down the middle that my son wore for the first month after he was born.
Sarah is a Los Angeles ex-pat living in Israel — we've tried to source any terms most readers may not be familiar with. This post originally appeared on kveller.com.
And I left the kibbutz.
And while the taxi roared out the big yellow gate and down the winding road lined with fragrant eucalyptus trees, shattering the stillness of the starless night, it occurred to me that I had forgotten something: my family.
My husband B and I tried, but we couldn't make it work. Our marriage was broken. And over the last several months instead of trying to Krazy Glue the fuck out of the pieces, I ground my high heel boot into them.
Dust to dust.
"Where the hell am I going to go?" I asked myself over and over and over during dark nights while I rode around and around and around the kibbutz on my shiny purple bicycle. "What am I going to do?"
I don't do well when I feel trapped — I get twitchy and edgy, and I lash out like an angry beast. I hiss. I growl. I bite. And ultimately, I knew the only way out was to get out.
Usually, when a couple splits, they follow the standard protocol: the wife stays in the family house and maintains primary custody of the children, while the husband holes up in a seedy motel until he can find an apartment. The wife has support from her community — her family and the friends who are like family, while the husband has his people who stand behind him.
But what do you do when you're all alone in a new country, and the only so-called community you have has your husband's back and not yours?
You build your own community. That's what you do. In moments large and small, you create a home for yourself, even if you have to start from scratch. And slowly, slowly, slowly, that's what I'm doing. I have work — a job I love with coworkers who have given me more support than I could ever imagine. I have a few friends scattered around the country — and yes, on the kibbutz as well — who have humbled me with their compassion. And through the internet, I have my family and friends back home.
But still, I wake up in the middle of the night with a jolt, my heart pounding, convinced that through the cloying darkness I can hear my babies crying out for me to take them into my bed. And yet, I know that they're miles away. The children I nursed through toddlerhood, that I co-slept with until just six months ago, are tucked in safe and snug on the kibbutz with their father while I sleep alone in a new city.
"Why can't you take them with you," so many have asked.
Because the kibbutz is kind to my children — it's Gan Eden — a place they're free to roam and explore, and over the past year, they've blossomed like the red poppies that bloom in the springtime. Yanking them by the roots and taking them out of preschool, and away from their father and grandmother, and their community, and transplanting them into my life in a shabby apartment in a foreign city would be devastating.
And so, three times a week, I take the train or cadge a ride to my children's home — where they thrive.
And here I thought it was hard being on the kibbutz before I left: you know the pivotal moment in the nature video when the zebras are all chillin' by the watering hole? It's all idyllic and peaceful, until out of the shadows, a lion appears. The zebras know what's up and the get the hell out of Dodge.
Well, when I visit the kibbutz, I am the lion. With leprosy.
I try to avoid being in public on the kibbutz. I pick the kids up from gan and either take them back to their house, or go to a friend's. (See, it's kinda hard to hold your head high when you're ashamed that you couldn't make it work for the sake of your children.) We recently attended the annual Kibbutz Hanukkah party — where all the families gather together in the Hader Ohel for celebration and song. Last year, we stood as a family and wiped the powdered sugared remnants of sufganiyot from each others' cheeks. But not this year.
My desire to be at a public event on the kibbutz ranks right up there along with moldering in a cell in Gitmo or having tea with Sarah Palin. But this is Hanukkah — the first Hanukkah where both my daughter and my son will be old enough to remember the festivities, and so I sucked it up and we went. And I watched my strong and sturdy children run pell-mell into the fray, shrieking with laughter, while I thought of creative ways to disappear into the darkness.
But my daughter would have none of it. "Come on, Mama," she said, grabbing me by the hand. "Dance with me," and while the loudspeakers played the Hanukkah song "Banu Choshech Legaresh" we twirled in a circle. I couldn't breathe. I felt about a thousand eyes boring into me while I held my daughter's hand. What kind of mother leaves her family…
Faster and faster and faster we spun, while my daughter sang the words aloud: "Go away darkness black as night. Go away, make way for light." And while we danced, the rest of the world disappeared, and all I saw in that moment were my daughter's eyes shining like twin moons in the light of the menorah as we whirled together out of the darkness.

After 22 years in the air force, Water 2 Wine–founder John McFadden established his first custom winery in San Antonio seven years ago. Already the business has spread as far as Milwaukee to the north and Denver to the west, bringing the country's vinophiles more than 100 wines, each of which are fermented on site and available for tastings every day. Those who want to get more involved in the crafting process may sign up to make their own wine and steep themselves in each step of the operation, from selecting the grape varieties, beginning the fermentation process, withstanding a wait of about 45 days, and finally christening their creation by smashing a tiny boat against the bottle. All custom-made wines are plastered with personalized labels made from one of Water 2 Wine's templates or images that customers design from the ground up.
Weddings at The Vineyard at Florence hark back to an unhurried age, when horse-drawn carriages ferried couples to the ceremony, guests stayed in villas overlooking verdant rows of grapes, and the next morning began with a dip in the infinity pool. The sprawling venue embraces this mix of old-world Italy and modern luxury. Intricate stonework on the Tuscan inns contrasts with the sleek lines of its gym equipment, and the murmurs of a spring-fed creek accompany live musical performances in the amphitheater.
Guests needn't be getting married to explore the setting?there are single-day excursions such as the Sunday yoga class. Of course, estate wines remain a prime focus for the staff and the vineyard's visitors, with tastings held most Thursdays and weekends inside the Villa Firenze, where contemporary culture mingles with antiquated charm. Italian decor and architecture typify the rustic interior, though its main hallways give way to galleries where local artists can exhibit their work. Gigantic wooden barn beams grace the ceiling in the traditional wine shop, and the outer decks afford views of the polo field alongside the arbors and herb gardens.
Rather than preserve their slice of countryside with uninterrupted quiet or a colossal snow-globe dome, the vineyard's tenants strive to fill the hills with life. They host classes on topics from pairing wines to organic farming, and welcome diners to sample handcrafted confections at Bissinger's Chocolate Experience and Caf?. Bands fill the wine-tasting room with new rhythms each week, and festivals such as the Harvest Celebration Weekend?where attendees can glimpse stone carvers at work and dine on homegrown cuisine?imbue the rural expanse with a close sense of community.
Texas hills unfurl before Wimberley Valley Winery, gently guiding guests to the winery's stock of wines. Since 1983, the winery's resident winemaker has created a range of classic varietal wines in addition to offering wines from around the world. While the winemakers weave their magic in the cellar, the remainder of the winery's staff entertains customers in the elegant tasting room. Here, an expansive stone fireplace steals the attention from sunny yellow walls, and granite counters hide bottle after bottle of wines waiting to be sampled. While tasters sink into cushy leather couches, the staff explains the flavor profiles of wine types and divulge tips for pairing wine with the right food or crazy straws.
Wine is an effective cure for ailments such as boredom, conversationitis, and pasta-mouth. At Dry Comal Creek, you'll imbibe a wide range of home-bred, adult grape beverages that are complex and stimulating in a way that makes grape-juice boxes flush with jealousy. You and a friend will taste an array of 10 wines, from dry whites and reds to demi-sweet wines. The Mongrel Bastardo offers a tongueful of sweetness laced with pineapple and lemon, and Comal Red IX pairs perfectly with barbecue, lending its powerful bouquet of blackberry, cherry, and chocolate. With 10 educational palate-pleasers in your repertoire, you'll get one non-reserve bottle to take home.
Diners watch, transfixed, as a chef deftly chops, flips, and sears their meal in front of them while flames leap from the grill. This is Shogun Grill, where customers are often just a seat away from the culinary action.
The griddle-cooked teppenyaki dishes aren't just for show, either. Packed with fresh chicken, steak, and vegetables, the entrees sate taste buds whose idea of a Japanese meal is more than just tipping a few soy-sauce packets into your mouth. The chefs also whip up fresh sushi starring salmon, eel, soft-shell crab, and smelt eggs.
Vino 100 serves cheeses and imaginative pasta dishes in its cozy storefront, with live entertainment on Thursdays and Fridays. Start off a meal with a cheese plate, bedecked with one to four types of dairy ($9/one cheese, $20/four). Choose from brie, fontina, Brazos Valley–smoked gouda, and a Brazos Valley cheese of the month. Small plates such as the artichoke dip with crab and spinach ($12) or the goat cheese with raspberry-chipotle sauce ($6) whet appetites and fill bellies to half capacity. Send hunger packing with a stick and bindle by ordering a filling entree such as the truffle-oil mac 'n' cheese ($8), brimming with four italian cheeses, black-forest ham, egg noodles, and a dusting of smoked gruyere. Or try a savory shrimp-and-sausage cheesecake ($12), crowned with a crawfish rémoulade instead of traditional whipped cream and cookies. Polish off the meal with delectable dessert ($6 each), such as the s'mores panini, a combination of marshmallow fluff, graham crackers, and Nutella, encased in a ciabatta bun and grilled to gooey goodness. Stay alert by downing an affogato, a scoop of vanilla-bean ice cream topped with espresso, ensuring you never again fall asleep during an all-cymbal band recital.

DateDiffSimple and free Module to countdown/countup from the current date or calculate the difference between two events and display the result as years-months-days and/or total days and weeks.
It does not make use of 32/64-bit unix timestamps, so it will also work for dates outside the range 1970-01-01 through 2038-01-19. The function respects leap years, but does not take into account the 10 days removed in the year 1582 from the calendar (October 5 through October 14, 1582) to fix calendar drift.
* countdown/-up from current to a specified date or
* caslculates the difference between two specified dates
* output via dependent variables for »years (y) »months (m) »days (d) and/or
* independent output for "total" days (D), weeks (W) and remaining days of the weeks (w)
define start and end date for displaying the module contents
* different and individual formatting possibilities for header, middle (content) and footer area
* no flash, no javascript
* "modul class suffix" supported
More detailed information about each parameter setting can be found in the popup help text of the module parameter settings pane.
Though it works as promised, I need a bit more, in order to use it. So here's an improvement suggestion:
Make the module only appear if todays date is between date1 and date2.
Thanks for the review. I am afraid I don't understand your suggestion correctly. Can you please contact me via a forum to explain? (use the 'Support' link above or forum.jommla.org). Thanks!

Fifa 14 coin generator?
You just discovered the right website about free Fifa 14 coins. FIFA 14 is the latest game in EA Sport's football franchise, available on almost all platforms including PlayStation 2, 3 and 4, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, One and 3DS. A free download for Android and iOS mobile devices has also been released, along with a PC version for Microsoft Windows. The game has been causing a lot of buzz because of its reliance on virtual 'coins' which are needed to progress in Ultimate Team mode which is difficult to achieve. We will try to point how this tool works and why a Fifa 14 coin generator is the best game hack in 2014.
Ultimate Team Fia 14 coins in 2014
One of the stand-out features of the 2014 version of FIFA is 'Ultimate Team', the most popular game mode that reportedly gets played over 3.4 million times each day by users all over the world. Ultimate Team lets players build a dream team, transfer players in real time and play against other teams online, either in single player mode or season/tournament mode. Ultimate Team is available to anyone with a genuine copy of FIFA 14 on any Internet-enabled device. There is also a web app to allow team control when you're away from your games console or mobile. The key to success in Ultimate Team is building chemistry. Each player will interact with the team depending on their position, nationality, league and club. A team with strong players but poor chemistry will win few matches and vice versa. Players that have remained in your team for a while and played more than 10 matches will gain loyalty points, leading to a chemistry bonus. Of course, in order to buy and trade players, your team will need financing – that's where coins come in handy (and why you'll need a Fifa 14 coin generator to succeed).
Check at our rating statistic!

based on 11,301 reviews
FIFA 14 Coins hack – What They Are And Why You Need Them?
When you first set up Ultimate Team in FIFA 14, you will only have enough coins to get some basic players. Then, you must train and manage your team in order to win matches and earn extra coins. Coins are awarded for winning tournaments and getting promoted into different leagues. You can also gain coins buy trading players (buying low, selling high). Naturally, it takes hours and hours of hard work before you'll start to see your coin stash mounting up. That's why there are lots of marketplaces online offering cheap coins for sale. There are lots of scam and bogus sellers claiming to provide free Fifa 14 coins so it's difficult to know which ones to trust. We think you shouldn't need to pay for what you can get for free so here's our guide to getting unlimited FIFA 14 coins using our latest version of the FUT 14 coin generator tool.
How Does A FIFA 14 Coin Generator Work?
This tool called Fifa 14 coin generators work on all account types regardless of your console or operating system (PlayStation, Xbox, PC etc). All you need to do is to choose a generator that's 100% undetectable so you can avoid any additional ban from the game. You must also select a hack that's free from viruses and spyware (run any downloads through anti-virus software before installing). Some coin hacks for Fifa 14 operate online, letting you generate coins without downloading anything. These online web scripts are safer as they pose less of a threat to your computer and you can use them without any fear. Once you've got a clean upgraded version of the fifa 14 free coin online generator, simply log into your account, fire up the generator and watch those zeros get added to your coin bank while enjoying the game.
So, what are you waiting for, start dominating the game!

[1]Marshall Sponder [2] shares an interesting comScore study [3] that illustrates what we at Future Now have been saying for many years: shopping cart and form abandonment happens well before people reach the form [4].
I'm always thrilled when additional evidence surfaces.
The majority of abandonment issues can be fixed if you focus on answering visitors' questions earlier in the "funnel [5]" or purchase consideration process. Persuasion Architecture™ (define [6]) is designed to anticipate the questions people have and facilitate the momentum required for them to accomplish their goals.
We've been solving this problem reliably for years. Do you still have a form abandonment problem?

R&B diva Beyoncé, A$AP Rocoky, Public Enemy and more music stars helped kick-off Jay Z's second year of the Made In America Philadelphia festival with memorable performances.
Bey dominated the opening night event with performances of hit songs like "Run the World (Girls)."
Beyonce rocks out on stage wearing a brand new outfit to close the evening at the 2013 Budweiser Made in America Festival held at Benjamin Franklin Parkway on Saturday evening (August 31) in Philadelphia, Penn. The 31-year-old entertainer performed her full Mrs. Carter Tour set for the crowd. The first two songs of her show – "Run the World (Girls)" and "End of Time" – were live streamed online. (Just Jared)
Despite arriving late to his set, A$AP's energetic live set served as a quick apology to pumped up fans.
Hardly Rocky: Or A$AP. As Spin's Christopher Weingarten pointed out on via Twitter, it should've been perfect for A$AP Rocky to play the Rocky Stage — the main stage of the festival, dubbed so because of its proximity to the steps leading up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art that Rocky Balboa famously scaled. But the rapper showed up for his set 23 minutes late, which hardly jibed with that whole as-soon-as-possible thing that his name implies. A$AP Rocky may have shown up with half a set, but the crowd of rapt teenagers roared at the conclusion of each of the four or five songs he played, proving that you can take the round with the right hit. (USA Today)
Iconic rap group Public Enemy graced the stage Saturday (August 31) with some political messages.
Made in America also generated its first political commentary via an electric set by veteran political firebrands Public Enemy, who spoke out on behalf of underfunded Philadelphia schools, against racism, and in support of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal. The agit-rap hip-hop legends got off to a farcical start when Flavor Flav, infamous reality TV star and ace side man to Chuck D, grabbed a microphone and began doing a loud sound check – "Make some noiiiiise" – while Sande was performing nearby. Flav, who played bass on that song, switched to drums after Chuck D brought on Philadelphia original gangsta rapper Schoolly D – who was introduced as "the Mayor of Philadelphia" – for "PSK, What Does It Mean?" They clearly knew where they were. No cheesesteak patter here. (Philly)
Heading into the weekend, reports claimed Jay's second annual concert series had scored huge ticket sales.
Even without curator Jay Z as a headliner, this weekend's second Budweiser Made In America Festival is already well on track to surpass its inaugural year in Philadelphia. The two-day festival's first iteration was a notable success, attracting 40,000 attendees per day and netting $5 million in ticket sales, according to Billboard Boxscore. Booked by Live Nation and headlined by Jay Z and Pearl Jam, the festival attracted a diverse lineup that spanned hip hop, rock, EDM and pop. Ticket sales for Year two are expected to finish between 57,000 and 60,000 per day, says Budweiser brand manager Mike Thompson, which would put full-weekend attendance as high as 120,000 — a 50% increase. (Billboard)

Economic Statistics for 5 Sep 14
Today's only economic release is a big one, and it's disappointing.
The Employment Situation report shows only 142,000 net new jobs were created in July, well below expectations. The Unemployment rate fell -0.1% to 6.1%, though sadly, this is mainly because the civilian labor force fell by 64,000 this month, while the number of persons not in the labor force rose by 268,000. This brought the labor force participation rate down to 62.8%, matching the lowest participation rate since 1978. Essentially, the number of people leaving the labor force was twice the number of new jobs created. In addition, the Household Survey indicates an additional 80,000 workers became unemployed in the last month. Average hourly earnings rose 0.2%, while average weekly hours were unchanged at 34.5 hours.
Economic Statistics for 4 Sep 14

The JP Morgan Global Composite PMI fell -0.4 points to 55.1 in August, while the Global Services PMI fell -0.5 points to 55.5.
Chain stores are reporting mostly rising rates of year-on-year sales growth in August compared to July, due to solid back-to-school sales.
Challenger's Job Cut Report layoff count for August totals 40,010, vice 46,887 in July and 50,462 a year ago.
ADP estimates that private payroll growth in August was 204,000 jobs.
Gallup's U.S. Payroll to Population employment rate fell -0.2% to 44.9%.
Weekly initial jobless claims rose 4,000 to 302,000. The 4-week average rose 3,000 to 302,750. Continuing claims fell 64,000 to a new recovery low of 2.464 million.

What if the UN gave a climate summit and no one came?
President Barack Obama will attend a United Nations summit on climate change in September.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has invited heads of state and other leaders to the Sept. 23 summit in New York. The U.N. says the goal is to spur governments, industry and civil groups to make new commitments to addressing climate change.The summit comes one year before world leaders will gather in Paris for global climate talks aimed at securing a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Obama has set a goal to cut U.S. emissions 17 percent by 2020, compared to 2005 levels.
The Obama administration will seek a non-binding international accord – rather than a treaty – at a United Nations climate summit in Paris next year on reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
It was a widely anticipated move, as President Barack Obama has repeatedly said he would act alone, bypassing Congress, if lawmakers declined to support his proposal.
So one would assume that the UN meeting would lay the groundwork for the Paris talks, no? Since it all under the auspices of the UN? And this apparently is very important to our president, no? He's going to attend, he's got a plan (one of the few plans his administration has ever managed to push out there) to make a commitment for the US while bypassing Congress. What could go wrong with this issue that is so important to Obama? And he's certainly consulted with other world leaders to ensure their cooperation and backing, right?
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leader of the world's third-largest greenhouse gas-emitting nation, won't join his U.S. and Chinese counterparts at a United Nations climate summit next month in New York. Modi's absence is a bit of a blow to the summit.
Chinese counterparts? The Chinese are blowing it off too:
Chinese president Xi Jinping has decided to skip a meeting of world leaders on climate change in New York, according to climate insiders, casting doubt on the summit's potential to make progress ahead of next year's major UN climate summit in Paris.
You think? But, as the commercial says, "that's not all":
German daily TAZ reports that German Chancellor Angela Merkel isn't going to bother attending the Ban Ki-Moon initiated climate conference in New York this coming September. The TAZ adds this has been "confirmed by a government spokesman". Merkel's decision to snub the event is likely another sign that efforts to forge a climate agreement are already dead in water. The TAZ writes: "Ultimately only Europe and very few other countries remain on board. Canada for example has opted out. Japan and Russia are also no longer taking part."
Always the last to know. Kind of like his foreign policy, isn't it? No India. No China. No Russia. No Canada, Germany or Japan.
So, if all of these major players in the world don't see a reason to show up for Obama and Moon's little show, how are those two going to sell this to world as an emergency situation that needs drastic action?
I know — call in John Kerry!
And the clown car continues to careen down the path to nowhere.

Loss of Will, Continued
In the comments to my previous post, "The Shark" writes:
What is civilization? Sanitation, clean water, viable infrastructure, decent standard of living? England has all that yet I don't think it qualifies as civilization anymore. Watch it burn? No need, it's decaying not-so-slowly.
The thing is that "sanitation, clean water, viable infrastructure, decent standard of living" and other amenities are not the characteristics of civilization. They are merely the products of it. They are what results from civilization, i.e., a standard of law, culture, science, and domestic peace that allows "sanitation, clean water, viable infrastructure, decent standard of living" and other amenities to be built.
Once a civilization has built these amenities, they have a physical capacity that everyone can use long after the civilization itself collapses. The men of the Middle Ages couldn't build the Roman roads–in fact, they literally had no idea how the Romans had built them–but they still used them. So the question is not whether you still have the infrastructure amenities built by your predecessors, but whether your civilization is still improving on them and building new ones.
For instance, forty years ago, the United States sent 2 men to the surface of the moon every eight months or so from 1969 to 1972. In the space of a single decade, we went from having no manned space capability at all, to having multiple manned lunar landings. Forty years later, we don't have a vehicle capable of sending a single American into earth orbit. We have the same manned space capability now that we had in 1960, 54 years ago.
Think about that for a minute, and what implications for our civilization we can draw from that decline.
Loss of Will
Via Instapundit, I saw this story which irked me. It's an AP story, so I won't quote it directly. You can go read it if you want. The upshot is that UN forces were besieged by Syrian Rebels in the Golan heights.The commander of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, or UNDOF, who supervises the UN peacekeeping forces in Golan, ordered the peacekeepers to surrender to the rebels.
Last week, the detachment from Fiji were surrounded by the Rebels and surrendered, and are still prisoners of the rebels. The rebels then besieged the Philippine detachment of UNDOF. As part of the negotiations to secure the release of the Fijian peacekeepers, the UNDOF commander told the the Philippine detachment to surrender as well. The Philippine detachment, conversely, told the UNDOF commander to go screw, and…extricated themselves from the siege, during which time they were…ahem…forced to fire on the rebels in self defense.
So, first off, kudos to the Philippine troops, and their big boss, Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang, who said that Philippine soldiers do not surrender their firearms.
Second, how useless is the UN and its "Peacekeeping Forces"? Rebel attacks have been on the rise, causing several UNDOF member nations to withdraw their troops. These withdrawals, have, surprisingly, not kept the peace, and rebel attacks have been on the rise.
The UN is supposed to provide peacekeeping troops to, if necessary, enforce the rules of decent civilization on barbarians. Clearly, they are a failure at that. One can't help but remember that in other, happier days, the defenders of civilization, when attacked by barbarians, would keep the peace by hunting down and killing the barbarians to the last man, killing him, then killing his pet goat, as Ralph Peters has put it. Not any more, apparently. The job of UN peacekeeping has seemingly been reduced to molesting underage girls and surrendering to barbarians.
The thing is, there are men who only want to see the world burn. To surrender to them does not gain peace, but gives them the world.
We spoke about piracy at sea on the podcast this week, and how, after obliterating it in the 19th century, we have allowed it to flourish in the 21st. We are squandering–indeed have mostly squandered–the legacy of of civilization, and with it the notion that civilization must be defended. There is never a shortage of barbarians, but there is an increasing shortage of nations willing to defend against them with the only thing barbarians understand: naked, brutal, death-dealing violence.
I do not see a bright future for civilization if this continues. Future generations may very well regard us as men of the Middle Ages did the Romans, wondering how they built all those roads and aqueducts.
Civilization may not be perfect, but as the example of ISIS/ISIL in Iraq is instructing us, it is generally better than the alternative.

Who said the Soviet Union is dead
And I'm not talking about Putin's attempt to resurrect it – I'm instead talking about this horrific overreaction by state of Maryland to … a book set in the future:
A 23-year-old teacher at a Cambridge, Md. middle school has been placed on leave and—in the words of a local news report—"taken in for an emergency medical evaluation" for publishing, under a pseudonym, a novel about a school shooting. The novelist, Patrick McLaw, an eighth-grade language-arts teacher at the Mace's Lane Middle School, was placed on leave by the Dorchester County Board of Education, and is being investigated by the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office, according to news reports from Maryland's Eastern Shore. The novel, by the way, is set 900 years in the future. . . .
Imagine that—a novelist who didn't store bombs and guns at the school at which he taught. How improbable! Especially considering that he uses an "alias," which is apparently the law-enforcement term for "nom de plume." (Here is the Amazon page for The Insurrectionist, by the way. Please note that the book was published in 2011, before McLaw was hired.)
According to an equally credulous and breathless report in the Star-Democrat, which is published in Easton, Md., the combined efforts of multiple law-enforcement agencies have made area children safe from fiction. Sheriff Phillips told the newspaper that, in addition to a K-9 sweep of the school (!), investigators also raided McLaw's home. "The residence of the teacher in Wicomico County was searched by personnel," Phillips said, with no weapons found. "A further check of Maryland State Police databases also proved to be negative as to any weapons registered to him. McLaw was suspended by the Dorchester County Board of Education pending an investigation and is no longer in the area. He is currently at a location known to law enforcement and does not currently have the ability to travel anywhere."
As I find and read more stories like this on a much more frequent basis, I have to wonder what happened to America. Where did it go? And when?
The fact that anyone would find this supportable is phenomenal in and of itself, yet here we have the report … McLaw was obviously taken as a credible threat because he wrote … fiction to sell books.
Jeffery Goldberg goes on:
It is somewhat amazing that local news reports on this case don't make clear whether McLaw is under arrest, and if so, on what charge. It is equally astonishing that the reporters on this story don't seem to have used the words "First Amendment" in their questioning of law-enforcement officials, and also astonishing they don't question the Soviet-sounding practice of ordering an apparently sane person who has been deemed unacceptable by state authorities to undergo a psychological evaluation.
It would be useful to know if McLaw is under investigation for behavior other than writing two novels—and perhaps he will be shown to be a miscreant of some sort—but so far, there is no indication that he is guilty of anything other than having an imagination, although on Maryland's Eastern Shore, as news reports make clear, his imagination is considered an active threat.
Dorchester County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Henry Wagner told WBO that police will be present at the middle school "for as long as we deem it necessary," and the sheriff said that law-enforcement officials across the Delmarva peninsula have been given McLaw's photo in case he shows up in their jurisdictions—though again, it is not clear if he is, in fact, in police custody at the moment.
This is what happens when people quit thinking and only do "their duty". When rules like "zero tolerance" replace common sense.
What happened to McLaw is an outrage. It is unacceptable. It should be condemned in the very strongest of terms.
Yet, at least by the media there, it seems all perfectly sane and normal. And, apparently, the police force as well. School. Etc.
Maryland (and Cambridge in particular) should be utterly ashamed.

Driving a Buick says something about you. It says that you're the sort of person can't afford a Cadillac, but not the sort of dirty, poor person who drives a Chevrolet.
Happy Labor Day, by the way.

DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ:DISH)
The Company, through its DISH Network, is a provider of satellite delivered digital television to customers across the United States.
TV signal distribution is a tricky business. I live in a remote area and the damn cable company wants $57 a month for the same channels, and no HD. For $45 a month I get most of the channels I want and the locals are in HD. PLUS they have the 722 and 922 series which will control 2 TV's with one box (no extra leased equipment fees like with DTV).

Nobody is happy with telecom providers. Not wireless, not wired, not TV, not phone. In this economy price matters, and I'm banking on the fact that this will be our generaton's great depression and we wont get thrown over the barrel by TWC, Comcast, DTV, etc. and Dish will be the wal-mart of TV.

'How I Met Your Mother' – The 'Sum Bitch Cookies'| September 23, 2013 at 9:14 PM EST
We know you want them, we know you love them… it's "Sum Bitches" Cookies!
On How I Met Your Mother Season 9, Episode 1, we heard a lot about the "sum bitches" cookies. This small gag in the episode really resonated with fans on Twitter.
On the train, Lily was stressing out about not seeing Marvin, and how her Mother-in-Law was acting about them leaving for Italy. Luckily, Ted's future wife was also on the train. She is a compassionte sort who first offered cookies, and then a joke to Lily.
Soon, the two were fast friends. And there were plenty of "sum bitches" aka cookies for Lily to zen out with during the ride.
All in all, it was an incredibly sweet moment.
You are probably wondering if there's a recipe for those "sum bitch" cookies. But in a moment of stress, any cookies will do. So we suggest you rip open some cookie dough and get a spoon.
Update: So many Small Screen Scoop readers have been asking for a Sum Bitch cookie recipe… so we've found one that uses peanut butter, chocolate and caramel – just like the cookies on the train. Click this link to: Average Betty
"And that's how Lily met your Mother."

German Impressionism Presented at the MFA Houston September 2010
Max Liebermann, Blumenstauden am Gärtnerhäuschen nach Norden, 1922, Öl/Lw.: 56 x 75 cm. Private Collection.
Max Liebermann, celebrated as "the German Manet," was the leader of a generation of German painters who were inspired by the stylistic developments in France. With colleagues Lovis Corinth and Max Slevogt, he forged the way for Impressionism in Germany.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
, will be the first American museum to devote a major exhibition to German Impressionism with German Impressionist Landscape Painting: LiebermannCorinthSlevogt, on view September 12December 5, 2010. While the artists were not exclusively devoted to landscape painting, the development of German Impressionism can be most clearly traced through these light-dappled, plein-air works. Eighty paintings, most on loan from German institutions, offer a rare opportunity for audiences to discover Impressionism´s little-known German chapter. Co-organized by the MFAH and the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud, Cologne, the exhibition travels from Cologne to Houston. An accompanying exhibition of forty graphic works, Drawing from Nature: Landscapes by Liebermann, Corinth, and Slevogt, will also be on view, illustrating the full range of their approach to landscapes.
"While Impressionism is considered a fundamentally French development, it naturally spread to neighboring countries, and German Impressionist Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest works by these leading German visionaries," said Dr. Peter C. Marzio, MFAH director. "Liebermann, Corinth, and Slevogt are rarely exhibited in the United States, as their works are generally not in American museum collections, and the MFAH exhibition will be the first time that works by the so-called ´Triumvirate of German Impressionism´ will be shown together."
"German Impressionist Landscape Painting presents a wonderful opportunity to explore why it took nearly 20 years for Impressionism to make its way from Paris to Germany," added Dr. Helga Aurisch, MFAH associate curator of European art and co-organizer of the exhibition. "By looking at the greatest German Impressionist painterspresenting their works to the American public for the first timewe are able to better understand an important chapter of art history and the complex relationship between the art world and world events."
Historical Background
Developed in France during the 1870s and 1880s, Impressionism started to attract artists from many countries, including the United States; yet it took nearly 20 years for it to take hold in Germany. Despite the fact that both Max Liebermann and Lovis Corinth spent several years in Paris during these decades, they focused on the Barbizon School and academic realism respectively, while Impressionism seems not to have made an impact on them. Unfortunately, following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, many prominent French artists refused to meet visiting German artistslike Millet, who snubbed Liebermann, or Manet, who refused to share a table with him. Conversely, anti-French sentiment in Germany was high, and French innovations, including artistic movements like Impressionism, were not readily accepted. The first Berlin gallery show of French Impressionism was not until 1883, but by this time, German artists were discovering Impressionism for themselves.
The short-lived, furiously creative German Impressionist movement was at its high point for the first decade of the 1900s, when Berlin was a hotbed of German Impressionist painters. In May 1898, the ´Berlin Secession´ was founded with Liebermann as president, and one year later the group put on its first exhibition of German artists, attracting nearly 2,000 visitors on opening day. Their next exhibition, in 1900, included work by French artists shown side-by-side with German artists. Despite the Kaiser´s disapproval, both shows were triumphs. Liebermann, Corinth, and Slevogt were dubbed ´the Triumvirate of German Impressionism´ in 1901 by art dealer Paul Cassirer, and the three artists enjoyed accolades and continued success for some ten years before world events would interfere. Because of a falling out with the younger German Expressionists, Liebermann resigned the ´Berlin Secession´ presidency in 1911 but was subsequently elected honorary president of the ´Freie Secession.´ In 1920, at the apex of his fame, he became president of the Berlin Academy of Arts and Letters. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Liebermann, who was Jewish, resigned from this position.
The Exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
German Impressionist Landscape Painting showcases the important Impressionist paintings created during the height of the ´Triumvirate´s´ careers, both abroad and at home. The outbreak of World War I made life in Berlin difficult and travel abroad impossible. Liebermann, who was no longer able to visit Hollandwhere he had spent nearly every summer for almost 40 years paintingfound refuge and inspiration at his villa in Wannsee (located just outside of Berlin), painting hundreds of views of his garden. Corinth took haven near the picturesque lake Walchensee in Bavaria, where he painted an exceptional series of works that take Impressionism to its expressive limit. Slevogt, who had volunteered as a war artist during World War I, was unable to return to Berlin from French-occupied Rhenish Palatinate and was forced to remain for several years at his summer home at Neukastel. Lacking the impetus of big city life, he devoted himself to lyrical visions of the Rhine valley stretching out below his property. Thus, in the last decades of their careers, all three painters turned to landscape as the vehicle for the development of their personal interpretation of Impressionism.
The three were also prolific draftsmen and printmakers. Drawing from Nature: Landscapes by Liebermann, Corinth, and Slevogt, organized by Dr. Dena M. Woodall, MFAH assistant curator of prints and drawings, examines their creative process as they explore nature directly in a variety of graphic media: etchings, lithographs, chalk, and pencil. The works on paper present images of the artists at home and abroad, as well as Slevogt´s imagined American West through lithographs that he created to illustrate James Fenimore Cooper´s Leatherstocking Tales. Pastels and watercolors will also be on view, providing a bridge between the works on paper and the paintings.
Documentary footage of the three artists painting, a photomontage of their portraits, and a map tracing the artists´ movements across Germany will provide background to the art on view.

Are hybrids officially swimming in the US mainstream? A recent federal government amendment appears to imply as much, since it says that hybrid drivers won't be able to count on getting solo access to high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes. And the Prius Nation sighs.
A recently approved six-year highway-spending bill includes an amendment sponsored by Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) that would forbid states from creating new HOV-access programs for solo drivers in hybrids. States with existing programs, like Virginia, would be allowed to continue them. Plug-in hybrids, extended-range plug-in vehicles and battery-electric vehicles are safe, The Detroit News says. Heck, even compressed natural gas (CNG) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be able to continue to join the lonley party. For now.
Of course, hybrids-as-mainstream vehicles is old news to states such as California, long a leader in the advanced-powertrain vehicle movement. The Golden State gave out 85,000 yellow stickers that permitted hybrid drivers access to the HOV lanes no matter how many people were in the car, but they all expired in July 2011. After a slow start, California ran out of stickers that let plug-in hybrid drivers do the same earlier this year. California set a limit of 40,000 of those green stickers, which give drivers solo diamond-lane privileges through the end of 2018. The state has no limit on the number of stickers set aside for battery-electric vehicles which, like the green stickers, expire at the start of 2019.
Americans bought about 450,000 non-plug-in hybrids last year, including about 222,000 non-plug-in Toyota Prius models.

Press Releases
The process of welfare reform highlights the pressures on government agencies to deal with an increased number of claims, which has inevitably led to an increased number of individuals disputing the decisions made on their claims. A similar pattern is evident for other government agencies, including those responsible for making decisions on special educational needs provision, through to those with responsibility for helping individuals resolve their employment disputes. This seminar will review the empirical research evidence which highlights the barriers that individuals face in disputing administrative decisions made by government agencies, the role of advice in helping users overcome these barriers and the access to justice issues that arise from this. In light of this, the seminar will examine the steps that initial decision makers and government departments can take, individually and systematically, to improve access to justice, from the focus on improving the quality of initial decisions, to developing mechanisms to support individuals throughout the dispute resolution process.

"Comanche Boy" George Tahdooahnippah improves to 18-0 with a sixth round stoppage of Jerry Perez Friday, March 13 at the First Council Casino in Newkirk, OK. "He was durable," Tahdooahnippah said after the fight, "but I knew I had to take care of business. I train hard and I hit hard. The first round I had to let him know that I have the power and that I would dictate the pace of the fight. I dropped him at the end of the round and knew I could hurt him. To my surprise, he came on strong rounds 2-4 -- he was giving it his all..
"I had much respect for his fight and his will, but when the 5th and 6th round came, I turned it on. I came out strong the 6th and let it all hang out. I dropped him and he didn't get up, so now Comanche Boy is 18-0!" Tahdooahnippah was also appreciative of the fan support. " It was a great turn out at the event and I was pleased to see all the Native American people in attendance. All the tribes of north Oklahoma made me feel welcome and it was great to be there."
First Council Casino, catBOX Entertainment and C3 Fights presented a great night of professional boxing to a packed house under the all new EvenTTent at First Council Casino in Newkirk, Oklahoma on Friday, March 13, 2009. Among the victors of the seven scheduled bouts at First Council were Oklahoma superstars Native American Boxing Council Super Middleweight Champion George Comanche Boy Tahdooahnipah and Oklahoma Lightweight Champion Noah Zuhdi.
In the Main Event, Comanche Boy won by KO in the sixth round over veteran Jerry Perez of Rosenberg, Texas. Perez was game but Comanche Boy had too much fire power and was too skilled for Perez. Comanche Boy gave Perez a pounding in every round. Fight fans are eagerly looking forward to Comanche Boys next fight. Notch this one up to another exciting performance by Comanche Boy who now sports an impressive 18-0 record.
Oklahoma Lightweight Champion Noah Zuhdi easily won in a completely dominating performance over James McClure of Paris, AR. Zuhdi knocked McClure down three times, once in the first round, a second in the fifth round knocking McClure through the ropes with a right uppercut followed by a devastating left hook, and then again in the sixth round when the fight was won by Zuhdi by TKO. Zuhdi had won all the rounds by a wide margin up to the stoppage in round six. McClure came in well over the weight limit at a weight of 147.5 for a lightweight fight of 135 pounds. Zuhdi came in at 135 but wanted to fight and agreed to fight McClure despite McClures weight over the lightweight limit. Zuhdis easy triumph over McClure by TKO upped Zuhdis undefeated record to 7-0, with seven knockouts.
NABA U.S. Light Middleweight Carson Jones won by TKO over Mike McGuire. Jones clearly outclassed McGuire.
Former University of Oklahoma football player Gary Townsend defeated Zack McMillen in a first round knockout in their heavyweight fight. Light Heavyweight Terrance Jones won a majority decision over Sam Norwood.
Other scheduled bouts included Ron Aubrey, from Oklahoma City, formerly an Oklahoma City Blazers hockey player. Aubrey scored a second round knockout over John Fish of Guymon, Oklahoma. Alfredo Berto of Houston, Texas knocked out Yon Harrison, Moore, Oklahoma in a bantamweight battle.
The sensational fight card promoted by catBOX Entertainment and C3 Fights was the first of its kind under the all new EvenTTent. Known as the eight wonder of the entertainment world, the EvenTTent delivered as promised as the perfect venue for professional boxing.
Former IBF Champ, Steve 'USS' Cunningham, Praises Ola Afolabi's Knockout Victory
Former IBF Cruiserweight King Steve 'USS' Cunningham, who lost his crown by close split decision to Poland's Tomasz 'Goral' Adamek after their "fight of the year" nominated battle in December '08, praises Ola 'Kryptonite' Afolabi for his stunning ninth round knockout of former WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo 'Big Mac' Maccarinelli on the 14th March to take the vacant interim-WBO title.
'USS' Cunningham, who had offered to be Maccarinelli's opponent for this fight after Detroit's Johnathon Banks pulled out of the bout in February to face current cruiserweight top dog Tomasz 'Goral' Adamek, was clearly impressed by Afolabi's win as he said. "What a great win for Ola, I wish him the best against Ramirez. Being a World Champion is something that every boxer aspires to do, but a very select few actually get that title.
I was blessed to hold the IBF Cruiserweight title for two years and I'm going to get it back and then go after the other belts and prove that I am the best Cruiserweight in the world. I have my work cut out for me, but I am ready.
I'm sticking with my plan "Two time in '09"
The IBF World Cruiserweight Title eliminator bout between former IBF cruiserweight champion, Steve 'USS' Cunningham, and former WBC champion, Wayne 'Big Truck' Braithwaite, will be held in St Louis, Missouri later this year. The winner earns the right to face current IBF Champion Tomasz 'Goral' Adamek later in 2009.
Promoter Don King is expected to announce the venue and the date for Cunningham Vs. Braithwaite in the near future.
Veto stops Zeliev in second round in Germany
15th March 2009 - In a lightweight bout Optimum Sports Agency's Hungarian prospect Gabor Veto stopped Ibragim Zeliev in Karlsruhe in the second round with an impressive combination to the body and head.
The 20-year-old Veto (2-0), former member of Hungarian amateur national team, controlled round one with long, straight punches. His boxing style and hand speed proved too much for the frustrated Zeliev (0-2).
Veto of Varpalota, immediately showed his superiority over an outclassed Zeliev. He landed stiff left jabs to the Russians head and sharp follow up combinations. Midway through the 2nd round, Veto caught the tired Zeliev with a right and hard left to the head and referee Mirko Skoko immediately stopped the fight.
"Its been a very good learning experience to fight against an opponent with a classic russian style. I look forward to work hard and give my best effort to reach my goals, said Veto.
With the victory Veto now looks towards a match with Perparim Hajdini (1-1) on the undercard of the WBC World Title fight between Vitali Klitschko and Juan Carlos Gomez in Hans-Martin Schleyer Halle in Stuttgart next Saturday.

Hello guys! :D
What will i do for my 400 RP? i don't have anything to do with it.
There are only three skins that can be bought for this price. You can also wait for a mid tier skin to come on sale.
Or you can buy a low IP cost champion.
Personally, I purchased more RP the week my main at the time, Tryndamere, had a sale on one of his skins, since 400 RP wasn't enough for that skin even on sale =P Haven't looked back since - I now own a skin for all but one of my 41 champions, and I usually buy champions I'm interested in when skins I like come on sale.
That 400 "free" RP doesn't do much on its own, other then provide an introduction for the awesomeness of RP purchases.
When you go to the store check on sale tab in champions I believe it changes frequently.
Check out the legendary skins. Some of them are only 260 RP.

When you fancy a lazy week in a picturesque part of France, consider staying in Aquitane. Its vast forests stand against beautiful vineyards, and there are dozens of peaceful lakes on which to spend your days swimming, fishing and relaxing. In the evenings, venture into local villages for amazing cuisine: this is a region famed for its truffles and foie gras, after all. Of course, there's plenty to do if you do decide to get out and explore: you can visit prehistoric sites like the Caves at Lascaus, home to some of the world's oldest murals, or admire artworks by Goya in Agen's Musee Municipal des Beaux Arts.
