It is not the decadent west destroying Arab culture.
That's ridiculously dramatic. Arab culture is the culture of Arabs. It lives and is developing.
Why not in Saudi Arabia, you ask?
It is Islam.
More demonising rubbish. I'm expecting more and more of this reactionary claptrap from FTB bloggers.
You're utterly ignored the role of capitalism in creating oppressive social structures in the middle east. You've also ignored the way that oppressive governments like Saudi Arabia co-opt religion as an intimidatory mechanism to impose oppressive rule in that country. You've ignored the fact that the way they use religion is just one of many tools they have at their disposal; others include vast military arsenals (much US-supplied) and an extremely well-resourced state.
Blaming "islam" is nice and simple and I'm sure you can quote the Quran at me with the best of them. If you want simple explanations for world politics, you stick that one. If you want truth, give it up.
And well done for your islamophobic, anti-semitic, racist culinary attack. You can stand shoulder to shoulder with people who throw the body parts of pigs at mosques or arrange strips of bacon as the star of David on the homes of jewish families in England.
And you dare to post your crap on a Freethought website? Your blog is repulsive.
This was from Exi5tentialist on a post I wrote a few days ago. And I felt a bit more explanation was required.
While I appreciate your understanding that there exists a "Saudi Culture" and that it is quite rich and varied, we must not take an anthropological stance to this. This isn't "interesting", This is like the rape culture of India. Harmful.
And you seem to take this anthropological view, where there is no judgement of effect. Well in that role, the African and Middle Eastern and indeed South/East Asian practice of Female Genital Cutting should not be called Mutilation and we should not protect children from it. After all? It is culture.
Neither should we oppose the gun culture of the USA or binge drinking of the UK. Because it's anthropology damnit! *Shakes Fist*.
So let's begin why this argument is wrong.
1. A lot of the traditional culture of the Middle East and indeed Saudi Arabia is under threat due to Fundamentalist Islam. More so than "mere acquisition of money". Acquisition of fabulous wealth has not turned Dubai into Saudi either. What Saudi's issue is that it is the home of Wahabbism and that satiating wahabbist demands has caused a destruction of moderate Islam within the KSA. It is kind of like Afghan Poetry, practically non existent compared to the glory days of Peshawar. Art and Progressive Values were all sacrificed on it's altar as has education. To the point that most of the Middle East cannot function without it's labour force. Large sections of it's Skilled and Unskilled Labour come from abroad. The schools don't produce the scientists and the doctors and the engineers they need in the quantities they need. Because Islamic Education comes "first". You teach neutered science you get neutered scientists who were brought up on the party line and so cannot tell the difference between the propaganda they are steeped in and the reality they see. What the KSA does is "Applied Theology", faulty experimentation claimed as science in order to prop up Islam. If you were claiming unislamic things, you may find yourself out in a place like this. You may only get whipped, you may lose your life.
2. The only real difference Capitalism has made is the presence of more skyscrapers. That doesn't change the fact that Islam has created the oppression that we currently see. Capitalism isn't really evil. Unfettered Unregulated Capitalism is. It's high bullshit to claim capitalism as evil and then use its fruits to tell some guy who takes home £2 a day that "capitalism is bad". Sure it is, and the worker's paradise will have flat screen TVs, cool TV shows, cool movies and video games for all! Nope. Capitalism is pretty okay. Responsible capitalism? Even more so. See responsible capitalism is what I like to call Socialism. Where we use the Communist idea of social control to place constraints on Capitalism to allow it to grow in the path we want without harming people. So Sweden vs. the USA sort of thing. Capitalism has given Saudi Arabia wealth. Wealth has not made Saudi Arabia powerful in the Islamic world, being the home of Islam has. All that wealth has managed to do is build skyscrapers and encourage lots of expats to work there. There is no real profit in Wahabbism, in fact it is unprofitable.
You live for a few years, make out like a bandit and leave if trouble starts. That's fine in your brick layers and your housekeepers, but your nurses and doctors and engineers? It will rack up costs quickly. You cannot construct a system where you have to keep hiring experienced service sector workers because you keep burning through them. They are expensive, cost money and take time to train up to local specification. Saudi has a particularly high turnover of this because Saudi's Wahabbist policies make life miserable. It is okay for guys but women?
3. Capitalism Likes Tourism. Wahabbism thinks even historical monuments are idolatory. Many of the traditional buildings, mosques and historical architecture were destroyed for the same reason the late Moors smashed their own statues. Because it was declared Haraam. For this you must know some History.
Saudi Arabia's current set up is due to Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud who became King due in 1932. The unification of many Bedouin Tribes made him the Kamehameha of the Peninsula. They had a civil war and ousted the Hashemites. These new Najdi now had a problem. They were in charge of a highly sophisticated urban society that was developing into a modern one. It was no New York, but it certainly would be one given time. It was Rome being run by the Goths.
As administrative authority of the passed into the hands of Najdi sunni Muslims from the interior, the sunni Wahabi] 'ulema viewed local religious practices as unfounded superstition superseding codified religious sanction that was considered a total corruption of religion and the spreading of heresy. The old Hashemite practices were banned. And the buildings that they kept as monuments were declared as heretical and destroyed.
These buildings were the History of Islam. It would be like setting fire to the Vatican or to the Cave Temples of Ajanta.
The first time this was seen was when the Wahaabi armies occupied Saudi in 1800s (I am not sure of the date) and levelled the Maqbaratul Baqi (A graveyard). To you it's not significant. To anyone aware of Islamic history it would be the Graveyard of Mohammed, the Prophet of Islam. In their declaration against Idolatory even the Prophet's history is not safe. Incidentally? It was also a Jewish Graveyard. Imagine how different the dialogue of Islam would be with it's existence today. This was the graveyard of some of the most famous companions of Mohammed and their tombs.
This prompted war. The Ottoman Empire invaded to defend "Islam" and the backlash against Wahaabism was felt as far away as India. Bedouin tribesmen weren't capable of opposing the modernised army of the Ottoman's and their battle hardened (in Europe remember) forces. The Ottoman Empire promptly tried rebuilding the monuments but they were not the originals.
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Wahabbists took control again in 1925. This time they were more thorough. In an act that would make the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddha look slap dash, the Wahabbists destroyed and ploughed up the graveyard so that no one may know where it is. They then destroyed all grave markers and finally? They destroyed Mohammed's tomb and painted over it's artwork so that even if discovered? No one would know. Unless of course they were technologically minded like us and could reveal things under layers of paint.
You see the Prophet's Tomb is inscribed with poetry from the 13th century poet Al-Busiri. It's called the Qasida al-Burda. And we know of it mainly due to it's use as a hymn among the Sufi.
Other sites destroyed? The Grave of the Martyrs of Uhud, The Mosque of Fatimah, The Mosque of the Two Lighthouses and the Qubbat al-Thannaya.
Other sites? The Mosque of Al Jafr Al Sadiq, the Mosques at the Battle of the Trench and the Mosque of Rasheed. Mohammed's House, Arqam… The loss of such sites would cause the loss of history and the control of Mecca and Medina allowed Wahabbists to rewrite a lot of the History of Islam. Flush with the wealth of Oil while the remainder of Muslims remained poor they created extraordinary control over the history of Islam.
4. Saudi Arabia co-opted even more fundie religion to stem a civil war post Grand Mosque Seizure. The brutality we see stems from that. In addition greater control over Islamicist belief and adoption to stave off the predations of the worst. The already fell to the fundies, this way they kept their wealth and power in exchange for being left alone by the fundies. The Saud family basically put up their system of governance in the Wahaab council which effectively ruled leaving the Royal Family in peace to drive around in flash cars. A lot of the rules were made between 1920 and 1960 when the final rules were used to recreate a world the fundamentalist Wahabbis saw fit. It took time because they had to go through the existing Ottoman laws and decide what to keep and what to change. Among the last but not least of these "reforms" was the legal Purdah against women. The Secret and Religious police are a product of Bedouin Wahabbism, their Councils? The product of Wahabbism. This was native Culture to the KSA. This would be like the Amish taking over the USA and whipping women who dared show ankle.
5. Should the KSA fall it will not be a place that promotes modern values. Let us be clear on this. The only difference is that there would be no new sky scrapers and the oppression machine of fundie Islam can function just fine without jet fighters. The entire damn point of the problem is that the religious leaders of Wahabbism think the Bedouin lifestyle of Nomadic herdsmen and the life of Mohammed was human achievement at its zenith. Imagine if you will a Christian declaring the Middle Eastern Shepherd as the zenith of achievement next to the Large Hadron Collider and you will realise how ridiculous an idea this is. You cannot have those billion or so Muslims across the world thinking and striving to regress progress but that is the "ideal" being flogged by Fundie Islam. Should the KSA's relatively moderate government fall, it will be replaced by the Bedouin tribal councils which will cause the country to fragment into local factions on whatever lines they see fit and go to war. When the infrastructure of state falls, people just form their most sustainable forms of government. It is the reason why Americans rioted post Katrina and the Japanese did not post Tsunami. Because the Americans had no emergency system drills for natural disasters. The Japanese have Earthquake drills and a system of multiple redundancies so that people simply got together and survived according to a state developed policy. Japan didn't cease to exist, for that weekend in New Orleans? The USA may as well have vanished.
It's the same in Afghanistan. With the Taliban holding power there was no centralised government. Merely a bunch of allied tribes. The old feuds continued and tribalism took root because that was the biggest human social group that could be maintained with the conditions available. Technology keeps our countries together, eschewing it will not create a Saudi Arabia but a series of bedouin tribes. And with if Saudi Arabia's relatively responsible government falls and those Wahabbi councils take over? There is a fair chance that the foreign worker influx would dry up. Eventually the oil will go too. Maybe Muslims will still visit for Mecca but with worsening safety due to the tribalism even that may cease. People are pragmatists and tribal warfare does not endear oneself to being a tourist spot. But this is merely conjecture and rather fantastic. Let us suffice to say that the KSA is not exactly a feasible model for stability hinging it's survival on fear of fundie Islam and brutal usage of the Wahabbi interpretation.
Now here is the thing.
I have been to Saudi. I have been to all the sights including that one square in Riyadh. The only difference between Riyadh and pre-NATO Kabul is that the executioner drives a Merc instead of a Toyota pick up and his watch is made out of real gold. You want to blame capitalism? The only thing Capitalism has done is given them Skyscrapers and maids from Asia. The cage they live in is gilt and the cage is Wahabbi Islam.
Now to deal with the other part of the argument.
See, I am an ex-Hindu and I lived in the Middle East. I am aware of the dangers of food restriction. Islam's fasting has a negative effect on women's health. Hindu's food restriction of "note" is Beef but most people are unaware of the complex system of fast days many Hindus follow. A lot of them Hindu women. In India? Anaemia is very common. Vegetarian diets mixed in with fasting and dietary restrictions such as "no garlic" result in Indian women not being able to fight off anaemia and this makes other diseases a lot worse.
To me it manifests as "no beef". I wish to eat some because I abide with Hinduism's rules while I am in India. I don't eat bacon here either (That sound readers is the sound of Ed Brayton fainting). I wish to eat these things. I also recognise that there are ex-Muslims and ex-Jews who feel the same way. These people have discovered that their religious bans on shellfish and pork are nonsensical and that these things are delicious and part of the benefits of apostasy is that we can all get together and share a bacon cheese burger.
Islamophobic? Anti-Semitic? How interesting. Was Hinduism and Buddhism and Jainism not good enough to include on the list?
I know how much food restrictions hurt. Sometimes I like to eat the things I was "not allowed to eat" in order to assuage the wrath of imaginary deities.
There are ex-Muslim and ex-Jewish people out there who absolutely adore the things that they were not allowed to eat when they believed. Things that they may still have to pretend not to eat like myself. To compare it to throwing pork at Muslims and Jews is idiotic. I am not forcing anyone to come. At no point will a Rabbi be forced to eat clam chowder. At no point will a Mullah have to chow down on a BLT. At no point will a Pandit be force fed a steak. I just wanted to see if there are people who read this blog around Manchester who wish to come out and maybe set up a BBQ event where we can all hang out and I can socialise and eat a damn cow.
It's not because I wish to insult Hindus, but because cow is delicious.
If you cannot understand the difference between an event where everyone is welcome and where atheists can eat the food that they were not permitted to eat and the hate crimes forcing people who have a problem with "x" to confront them, then you are the one who has the problem. Not me. No one is going to throw a pork pie at a rabbi or a clam at a mullah.
I repeat this because you seem to not have grasped the notion that just because I eat beef doesn't mean I am forcing Hindus to eat it. I am offering ex-Hindus a chance to eat beef with other ex-Hindus and the same for ex-Muslims and ex-Jews and the chance of other atheists who have supported me to come hang out and be social.
The only way you can be insulted is by complaining that I am leading apostates away from the true path. But that's your problem. But they aren't leaving because of delicious spare ribs, they are leaving because at it's core? Religion requires you to believe in something. If you don't believe in it then you aren't religious.
A good wife fasts….
Your post is repulsive. How dare you tell me that I should respect a system of dietary control that is used to oppress women? That exacerbates anaemia and leads to the deaths of thousands via complications and the robbing of futures via stupid diets that stymie growth and development? Will you educate me on my own religion's diet's? Let's get this straight. The "No Beef "is a very small part of Hindu dietary restrictions. It's fast days affect millions. Particularly women who suffer the most from it.
And you wished to post here? What knowledge of Islamic history have you demonstrated? Did you know anything about the Wahabbi destruction of culture? Of course not. Islamophobia is just a nice word to yell at any criticism of Islam no matter how legitimate it is. Not all culture is good nor tolerated. Islam could do a lot better by actually listening to criticism and looking at it's problems rather than simply ignoring them.
To put it in terms you would understand? It would be like the Amish burning down our Art Museums. It would be a puritan culture that doesn't really exist outside of a few places forcing the rest of us to adopt their ways. In that case it is in our interest to tell those men and women who don't wish to live a wholesome life of butter churning (Look, I know about the Amish from TV. Butter Churning features heavily) that they can do other things and not have to live in an Amish Paradise.
So I am afraid I will still be offering to hang out and eat bacon cheeseburgers (the most blasphemous of all foods voiding the dietary laws of at least four religions if we make it Halal beef. If you can name the fourth religion there will be internet cookies for you).
I will be in the UK in July or August (to be confirmed). I will hopefully be celebrating my full qualification as a doctor. If you wish to come and be social (As I have so few IRL friends) then let me know.
To standard readers? I bet you didn't know Mohammed's Tomb was next to some Jewish guy's. And I am serious about the BBQ or even just a trip to a McDonalds or a Burger King.

Works.. for a few minutes
Comments about Bitter Apple Taste Deterrent for Dogs:
Works, but like many others said, the product dries very quickly (like alcohol). Once it dries, it's no longer a deterrent. You'd have to spray constantly for several weeks before your cat/dog stops, and the bottle isn't exactly something you'd carry along during a walk (I use it for my puppy's leash).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great in theory but did not work for me
Best Uses
Comments about Bitter Apple Taste Deterrent for Dogs:
I tied using this to deter my dog from chewing on my shoes. He is only deterred while I am actually spraying. The second I walk out of the front door to go to work, I'm certain he's got a shoe in him mouth. I thought it might be because the shoes have their own scent but it hasn't worked in other areas either, eg. plants, chair, his toy bin.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We have a 9 month old yellow lab. who likes to chew on EVERYTHING!! Once I sprayed this on what he wanted to chew on,, he didn't want anything to do with the sprayed area!!

Exactly one year has passed since I began sewing again after many years of hiatus. Decided to celebrate the event sewing a coat. I have chosen a very simple model without too many details, in order to learn to sew a lined garment, and most importantly – to overcome the barrier, inner fear of a more complex model. Fabric – wool, lining – viscose. The coats is so light and comfortable.
Oct 31, 2014, 09.41 PMby cornsey
I am making this coat and having some trouble with the pockets, which are gape. Did you find this problem? Looks great, by the way!
Nov 1, 2014, 12.53 PMby Redsonia
Hi, cornsey! Yes, the same with my pockets here. That's why in my new coat I've just omitted them.

Oct 3, 2012, 10.27 PMby alekat
I have a similar pattern lined up! – I've just got to get the fabric. Coats and jackets scare me a little too. I have made a few, but all those fine details really set you off down the wrong path. A simple coat like this is a great starter. Terrific job!
Oct 4, 2012, 06.17 AMby Redsonia
alekat, thank you! My first jacket was a disaster, but this time I decided to make it right. I read a lot about sewing a coat, fusible interfacing, ecc, I took my time, and the result is quite satisfying.

The balloons were ordered for my son's 8th birthday. We received the balloons about 1 week before the party. I took them to the local vendor to be inflated with helium. Everyone busted while trying to inflate due to dry-rot or something. Not one could be inflate past the size of a lemon before busting.

- Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million, representing 20% of revenue.
- Quarterly traffic grew 47% year-over-year to 34.5 million average monthly unique users with more than 50% of visits coming from mobile devices in December.
SEATTLE, Feb. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zillow, Inc. (Nasdaq:Z), the leading real estate and home-related information marketplace, today announced financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.
"The fourth quarter was another terrific one as incredible execution by the Zillow team re-accelerated year-over-year growth, and delivered revenue and profit that exceeded our expectations," said Spencer Rascoff, chief executive officer of Zillow, Inc. "The quarter capped off a pivotal year of tremendous growth and we're looking forward to 2013 as we focus on three core priorities: attracting more users with great products and services; growing our Premier Agent business with unmatched value and tools; and accelerating our emerging mortgage, rental and home improvement marketplaces."
Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights
- Revenue increased 73% to $34.3 million from $19.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Total revenue showed re-accelerating year-over-year growth when compared to year-over-year growth of 67% in the third quarter.
Full Year 2012 Financial Highlights
- Marketplace Revenue increased 95% to $26.8 million from $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Zillow achieved record Marketplace Revenue while executing a pricing model transition in the Premier Agent business.
- Display Revenue increased 22% to $7.5 million from $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
- Net income was $0.5 million, compared to net income of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The fourth quarter of 2012 results include a year-over-year increase in depreciation and amortization expense, and share-based compensation expense, primarily related to acquisitions.
- Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.02, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.03 in the same period last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million, or 20% of revenue, which was an increase from $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, or 17% of revenue.
- Revenue increased 77% to $116.9 million from $66.1 million in 2011.
- Marketplace Revenue increased 105% to $86.7 million from $42.2 million in 2011.
- Display Revenue increased 26% to $30.2 million from $23.9 million in 2011.
- Net income was $5.9 million, compared to net income of $1.1 million in 2011. Included in the full year financial results for 2012 is approximately $1.1 million of acquisition-related transaction costs, compared to 2011 transaction costs of $0.4 million.
- Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.20 and $0.18, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of zero for the same period last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $25.2 million, or 22% of revenue, which was an increase from $11.9 million in 2011, or 18% of revenue.
- Average monthly unique users grew 47% to 34.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 23.5 million average monthly unique users for the same period in 2011. In addition, January 2013 was a record traffic month with 45.9 million unique users, representing 45% year-over-year growth. In December, the company crossed another mobile milestone as more than half of the visits occurred on mobile devices. On weekends, 60% of Zillow's traffic comes from a mobile device.
- Premier Agent subscribers increased by 2,770 in the fourth quarter of 2012, and totaled 29,473 on December 31, 2012, up 87% year over year. Average monthly revenue per subscriber in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 3% to $267, compared to $258 in the same period last year. Premier Agent revenue is reported as part of Marketplace Revenue.
- Zillow entered the home improvement market earlier this month with the launch of Zillow Digs™, on the Web at www.zillow.com/digs and on iPad®, as an important complement to the company's existing real estate, mortgage and rental marketplaces. Expanding into home improvement makes Zillow more relevant to consumers throughout the entire lifecycle of homeownership and expands its total addressable market, as the home improvement industry was expected to spend approximately $6 billion on advertising in 2012 1. Zillow Digs includes patent-pending Digs Estimates, the estimated costs of recreating actual kitchens and bathrooms.
- In the fourth quarter, Zillow completed three acquisitions that accelerate its mortgage, rental and real estate marketplaces: Mortech, Inc., a Lincoln, Neb.-based software and services company that provides a CRM and pricing engine to the mortgage industry; HotPads™, a San Francisco-based consumer rentals shopping site and suite of mobile apps; and Buyfolio, a New York City-based online and mobile collaborative shopping tool.
- Earlier this month, Zillow announced that HGTV's FrontDoor is joining the Zillow® Real Estate Network, the leading real estate network. Zillow now will be the exclusive provider of all real estate listings for HGTV's FrontDoor, giving agents and brokerages that list on Zillow substantial additional marketing for their listings. Scheduled to launch in the second quarter, Zillow Premier Agents also will receive exposure through FrontDoor.

Polyamory is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. It is distinct from swinging (which emphasizes sex with others as merely recreational) and may or may not include polysexuality (attraction towards multiple genders and/or sexes)
Welcome to Black & Poly!
B&P is a blog where we ask the questions and share the stories that too often go unexamined because of fear, or shame. Our goal is to provide an eclectic, culturally rich environment, where people can come together to socialize, learn, and share common interests related to polyamorous living.
We encourage thoughtful discussions about sex, relationships, dating and intimacy as it relates to polyamory. Through this communication we strive to create connections and build a community that understands no matter how one "does" poly, there is no one way or right way to do it thus promoting a warm and welcoming environment where all are free to express themselves without fear of judgement.
We want to give those who are in a place of new discovery, a safe, fun and knowledgeable place grow, and LEARN. As this "lovestyle" is one that is fairly new to our community, it is imperative that we take active roles in leading, and teaching each other. Knowledge is power. Lets be our best selves and show the world polyamory is relevant and real. Love.

The heterocyclic bases of nucleic acids are rich targets for both toxins that damage DNA and drugs that interact with DNA and RNA. The Burrows laboratory investigates several different aspects of nucleic acid chemistry ranging from the mechanistic organic chemistry of oxidative DNA damage to biochemical studies of enzymes that act on DNA lesions. Lessons learned in modified DNA bases are also being applied to the design of new siRNAs for applications to therapeutic RNA interference. Tools used in the lab include: nucleotide, peptide and ligand synthesis; organic reaction mechanisms (labeling, kinetics, isotope studies); ESI-MS and NMR; bioinorganic studies of metal ion complexes; gel electrophoresis, PCR and polymerase assays; protein expression and purification; and RNA interference and gene silencing.

start off by saying i was weighing in at 205 lbs around August/2010 yeah i know gross. who knows what bf% i had, and i had never lifted weight in my life. i joined wrestling at my school and and naturally lost weight. after wrestling was over i was around 175 lbs but still un happy. i invested in some running shoes and ran 3 miles every single day. i gradually lost weight and the lowest i hit was 156 lbs, i was excited and very happy to see that number. ive always been the big kid and i hadnt weighed 150 since 3rd grade(i was a 9th grader, now 10th). but i still wasnt happy because now i was skinny fat looking. so i convinced my mom to get me a gym membership.i spent my first weeks learning form and such 6 months in and i had noticable results. tipping the scale at 162. but then after all the work i put in i got in the mind set that i could eat whatever i wanted with no reprecutions??.wrestling started and i didnt touch a weight for 3-4 months drastically burning up my muscle and strength. i was at 159 ;( but then after all the work i put in i got in the mind set that i could eat whatever i wanted with no reprecutions?? over indulging on burgers and late night snacks piled up. iwas 5ft' 10 165 lbs with 20% bf i got back in the gym and started from where i left off. i messed around with some creatine and went up to 175 lb i immediatly stopped taking it ;( for fear of it being fat. sorry for making this so long ill try to cut it short. there was a point where i almost had a 6 pack, but now i have this nasty gut and once again i feel unhappy.
my questions are:
im having trouble sticking to a clean diet. can you suggest one?
i like hiit and long distance cardio which is best for fat loss?
should i take bcaas, glutamine to prevent muscle loss?
ive been with a workout program very similar to this for 7months( changed the excercises now n then) should i get a complete new one?

ok... I still think it's a lot..
After one year you have paid 12 x 299 = $3588
You will need to pay this every year!
Here in the Netherlands you can put a server (1U) in a datacenter for 15 euro per month (1 Mbit data transfer on a 100 Mbit pipe line and 8 IP's).
That is about $20 per month. So 12 x 20 = $240
The setup cost (only one time) is $130
For around $1000 US you can get a nice server, so total will be arround $1370. The next year you only have to pay the $240 (as the server is yours)
The people from the datacenter can (if needed) manage the server for you.

Posted 9/13/2011 12:50 PM (GMT -7)
I have read a lot of postings on the Fistulotomy procedure and recovery, and I am truly grateful for all of the information. While some of the information did not pertain to me, most of it did, and was VERY helpful. So I really wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted on this topic.
I hope that by posting my experience, more people will gain knowledge and maybe some of you can post with current updates about
your recovery.
In January of 2008 I was diagnosed with a fissure. It was extremely painful and took about
3 months of sitz baths, witch hazel wipes, and anti itch creams to clear it up. I never thought anymore of this pain, once it had healed.
Then in February of 2010 I felt a lump on the bottom right buttock, close to where your bum curls under. It wasn't painful, or squishy. Just a golfball sized, hard lump. When I finally got the nerve to see my Family Doctor about
the lump it was August of 2010. He did not know what it was, and refered me to a specialist/surgeon. When I went to see him in September, he thought it was a cyst, and did not want to do surgery back there, unless absolutely necessary. So we left it at that.
In November of 2010 I had a LOT of pain back there. Then one evening it burst. A smelly brownish discharge oozed from this tiny little hole. I thought great! No more pain, and no more lump bothering me any more. I thought it would ooze for about
a week, (like a boil) but that was not the case. I didn't worry to much about
it because it only oozed on occasion, and really never gave me any upset.
Then it May of 2011, the hole sealed up; the absess tried to start again, and I was in extreme pain, I couldn't wear pants, sit, or stand for long periods. So I called the specialist/surgeon again. This is when he told me it was a Fistula, and that it required surgery. When he explained what would happen I almost fainted. How can you leave a gaping wound
open in that area?
Within 2 weeks they called for me to have surgery, however we were heading into a busy season at work, and I was covering for a co worker, I could not get the original time off of work. They wanted to operate at the end of July, but my son was going into Lacrosse provincials and I did not want to miss that. So I postponed it again. And really started research the procedure.
Friday September 2, 2011 I had a fistulotomy with Seton, (no more excuses) Preformed as a day surgery at our local hospital. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. The surgery went off without a hitch. I came out of the Anaesthetic and was a little uncomfortable. Was able to get up and go to the bathroom, and was home in about
5hrs. I slept most of the remainder of that day.
Day 1 post op. I was a little uncomfortable getting around (on a scale of 1-10 - maybe 4 or 5) light meals, lots of water, and pain medicine. Sitz baths x2 daily, and after a bowel movement. The wound is
open and oozing pinkish-white, panty liners placed in underwear was catching all of the ooze.
Day 2 post op. Pain was worse (5-6 on scale) but it felt more like muscle pain than sharp pain. Was able to pass wind with no pain. Same diet (light meals, lots of water, pain meds) and I had my first BM. I had been dreading it. But surprisingly it wasnt bad. Cleaned up with flushable wipes, had a sitz bath. Felt better after that.
Day 3-5 post op. Walking around without much pain - more sore than anything. Back on a regular diet, bowels moved very easily... feeling better each day...
Day 5 post op - All is going well, until I went to for my 1st post op appointment. I guess with him looking at the incision site,and seton, it stirred it up a bit, more oozing and a bit more pain.
Day 7 post op - felt great! Diet back on track, 1-2 regular BM a day, pain at about
a 1-2, down to 1 panty liner for the little bit of ooze. I thought I could go to work (I have a sit down office job) I made it from 9-3, then I had to go home. Pain medicine and sleep. But happy that I was able to make it as long as I did.
Day 8-9 - feeling good, almost back to normal. incision still
open and oozing (but not nearly as much as when it was a draining fistula) still doing sitz baths 2-3 times a day. Able to sit long periods of time. Sometimes Seton Stitch gets in the way but all in all feeling good about
the whole thing.
Day 10-11 - back to work now. Not a lot of pain or ache, ooze is almost down to nothing. Took a percacet last night for some pain after sitting all day, BM 1-2 day semi solid, no pain passing them. Looking forward to getting the stitch out and being completely healed again.
Day 12-13 - for some reason I am in a lot more pain. I looked at the incision and it looks good, not red, not hot, so I dont think there is infection. The stitch looks a little longer - maybe I sat on it, or its working its way out now?
I go back to the
specialist/surgeon on Sept 27th, he wants to see how I am healing and talk about
removing the stitch!

Almost 3 weeks post op now. Hardly any pain, fistulotomy incision is healing nicely. Starting to get anxious about
the stitch removal, and have a few questions I hope that someone can help with.
My seton does not come out the anus. It is located about
1/2way between where the fistula
open was and my anus. Is this normal? Will the seton come out on its own? Will it be another surgery to remove it? If so is it under general anaesthetic? How long is the recovery after that?
Any help would be apprciated

So, yesterday was my 2nd post op appointment.
The Bad news - seton stitch has to stay in for 8 more weeks
The Good news - no further surgery, is needed, as it stands right now. The fistulotmy incision is almost healed (3 1/2 weeks after surgery). I was in a good place yesterday so was able to take in everything the surgeon said.
My fistula was up quite high up and crossed thru the i
sphinter muscle up. The seton is a cutting seton and will continue to work its way thru this muscle so that I will not become incontinent.
There is no surgery to remove the stitch, he will do it right in the office, and it is only a tingling feeling as it is being pulled out.
I will update after November 25,2011 - unless something happens before the stitch is scheduled to come out.
I hope that my experience helps others new to the fistula world... And a BIG SHOUT OUT to all those that posted and gave me the information that I needed during these last few months - THANK YOU!!!!!!

I'm happy to hear things are proceeding well and you are happy with the results from your seton. I hope everything continues to go well for you.

I am scheduled to have my seton out at 10:15 today, (14 weeks post op) but it is still leakling a little. What are my chances that he will take the stitch out today? The way it has healed around the seton is now making it a bit uncomfortable to sit directly on my bum.
I would like it out today, but if its not ready I dont want another absess and fistula.... really stressing.

So it went well, a little discomfort when he was taking the stitch out. I will be back to sitz baths 2 to 3 x daily until it heals (about
3 weeks). It is a bit uncomfortable now, but I think that is because of the
location(plus I am at a sit down job). It will be nice to go home tonight and have a soak. There is a little blood oozing, but he said that was to be expected. Provided there is no other issues, I am in the clear.
Thanks to everyone who posted about
this procedure. You all have been very helpful

I have to say you are LUCKY.. I had my surgery Feb 12th and I am still wearing gauze between the cheeks and a panty liner.. this Friday May 25th I started running a high fever 104.8 and called my GI.. on cipro and flagel and have a huge new abscess.. so I get to have another surgery and have another seton put in.. he wanted to do it May 31st but I do not want to miss my sons high school graduation.. after the surgery my doctor leaves in a penrose drain ( HORRID PAINFULL) for a week and I am unable to sit at all.. lay down take pain meds.. after its out I still have a hard time for weeks afterwards.. by far the worst thing to happen to me is these perianal abscess's ...

Woman wedged between 2 buildings
Updated On: Jan 17 2013 11:00:44 AM EST
A smoke break turned into an hours-long ordeal for an Oregon woman when she got stuck between two buildings.
The woman spent nearly four hours in a space 8 to 10 inches wide, emerging from the space at about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday with her fists clenched and shouting "Oh my God," The Associated Press reported.
Firefighters aren't sure just how the woman got stuck.
She was seen smoking or walking on the roof of a two-story building at about 3:45 a.m. before falling 10 to 12 feet, Portland TV station KGW reported.
Rescuers initially tried using ropes to get her out, but ultimately decided to cut through the wall of the parking garage to free her.
An air bag was deployed in hopes of expanding the space between the wall. Soapy water was also applied, and a propane heater and flexible pipe were used to keep her warm, KGW reported.
The woman, who was not identified, was listed in fair condition at a local hospital.

She has feet!
So I guess the problem lies with the Wii U system itself and not the game. Curious to know why. A network bug maybe?
Sadly Mario Kart TV only uploads your replays @ 30FPS.
@ThomasBW84 The caption for the Samus-Shulk screenshot is the same as with starting line one.
I think this just simplifies some of his earlier tweets about the issue
AKB48 hype! LOL
SE's new management structure is getting kinda bull...not to mention all those mobile releases...
Disappointed but 2015 is still pretty far so Nintendo themselves might announce something down the line or maybe on a Direct.
I'm surely excited! Just knowing that it has better 3D viewing angles, C-stick, and a better screen, customizable face plates, I'm all in!
Most likely to land on Wii U as well. Almost every fighting games starts out in arcades for beta/location tests.
I feel some sarcasm in this post XD
What a way to put it. It's not that Nintendo gamers don't want AC titles. It's just that most sales were raked in by PlayStation and Xbox (and we all know why). To add to that, they delayed Rayman Legends back then and now with Watch Dogs. So I really think they're partly to blame for Nintendo gamer's current attitude towards them.
Then months later they ported it to iOS. xD
Pretty girl
@SamirMalik Yeah. But the Wii was exploited way before Project M.
@WiiUExposed I personally enjoy mods. But they're usually the ones who starts these things and so potential "bad guys" steps in because of it.
Game "mods" always lead to exploits that leads to hardware/system-wide hacking that leads to pirating games. I don't like this.
I used homebrew. I think they're cool and all. But if it should lead to piracy in the long run? Not good...
@Varoennauraa That's a nice idea. Imagine Link's Crossbow Training with the addition of parallax 3D tracking. That game was okay, but with this it can add more variety.
@TheRealThanos Can't find it either. I think it wasn't a DSiWare game but a packaged software. Not sure though. And all of the things you said is true. Thanks for that. It seems these people just takes things for granted. I'm not biased or trying to defend Nintendo in any way, but those "anti-gimmick" guys doesn't even try to see the value in what Nintendo is trying to do (gameplay-wise) even if they won't use them at all. I always thought, what if these "gimmicks" were actually the standard of gaming since long ago and the "traditional" method of playing were the gimmicks. Now the original PS Eye for the PS2 was a gimmick. Not sure for the PS4 though. The Kinect imo isn't 'cause it adds value to games in some ways, but you could argue that most of the games using it says otherwise.
@daveh30 Yeah but they're not the first one to use it. And besides the patent focuses on the parallax 3D effect on 2D displays. In Sony's case, they're using Project Morpheus for that. Spectators will still see the game being played normally on the TV. As for the patent, even if you're not the one wearing the glasses or the head mount, you can still see the effect on the 2D display.
@shigulicious IMHO It's not that they can't implement it properly. It's just that consumers just want more from it.
By the way the patent was filed about 4 years ago maybe even before the idea of the GamePad came up. http://www.google.com/patents/US8704879
@ThomasBW84 Yes definitely. After reading the patent filed, I have good hopes for this technology. But I don't see it being used on Wii U though. Maybe on their next hardware perhaps to add to it's feature set.
Aside from Johnny Lee's Wiimote concept, the idea was already implemented on the DSi with Looksley's Line Up using the inner cameras for motion tracking. Remember that game?
The concept of the tech is really amazing if executed properly. I prefer this method for creating 3D parallax "illusions" rather than having to sit directly in front of a 3D TV. I read the whole patent application and there's definitely a lot of potential.
I already aware of the Smash hype. So I'm going with Hyrule Warriors.
Shooters. A great example of creative immaturity. Yeah they're great and sometimes competitively fun. They have unique aspects to them across all the shooters available. But shooters are still shooters. You fire a gun to kill. That's it. That's basically the premise of these games. Whatever you put on top of that is just icing on the cake IMO. That said, I still enjoy playing some of them. But that's not really the point. Don't even compare them to the hundreds of platformers out there. You can be more creative on those than games constantly firing guns and explosives.
This game looks like a ton of fun! I recommend watching the Splatoon match between NCL devs and the Treehouse guys. So fun to watch. You can clearly see the developers having a blast themselves. Especially Sakaguchi-san.
@MrMeaCulpa Well according to here it's using Unreal Engine rather than the Relic(with combination of Havok tools). https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/unreal-sightings-e3-2014
It's like even if the game bombed he won't have any regrets! I like it!
The graphics are cool for me and also the style of combat. It was going to be developed originally for the PS360 afterall. And with all those publisher changes I wouldn't be surprised by the changes up to this point. We still got a year so they can still improve on it visually.
I think what he's implying was having the same or at the very least similar architectures for both their home and handheld consoles and not making a hybrid one that composes of the two.
I already expected Zelda U would be fantastic even before they revealed it at E3. So my #1 pick would be Splatoon. That game looks so much fun. Next would be Captain Toad and Xenoblade X
I don't understand this people in the comments.
Even though this kart (car?) doesn't really suit Mario Kart does not mean it doesn't "suit" the game. Your reasoning is because there are already real car simulator games out there and it doesn't fit in the game.You can still get the quirkiness and craziness of Mario Kart just as the other karts available in the game. When was the last time you saw a Mercedes being hit by turtle shells? It's also FREE so why the hate?
@EarthboundBenjy From a video interview by IGN, the devs said in the future, for local co-op, players will be using the Pro Controller. I'm hoping for a local Versus mode using 2 GamePads but it's hard to say and very unlikely to happen.
Mario Kart is a title the grows over years in addition to Nintendo's continuous marketing for the game. So 2nd place is usually fine.
I like how paul still speaks japanese in the livestream just so he can support demoing the game with sakai and yamagami even though he can speak english pretty well.
Zelda really looks gorgeous here.
Great game.
@antdickens Fan service, maybe? She did mention way back that one of her favorite Zelda games was Majora's Mask. But hey who knows why she brought it.
Well...the Mask was actually her's so...
Apparently Hori is making a Wii U "Classic" controller and the GC pad as the base. Not sure if it can also be a "Pro" controller for Wii U.
A full CG Zelda movie starring Zelda Williams as the voice for Zelda.
Battle Arenas should've had more votes!
@ThomasBW84 Yeah I can see that sorry about how I sounded. It's just that some people goes straight to the comments section and comment because of what they "saw" and not what they "read". It's the reader's own fault.
I think you guys did a wrong move by using that picture to be the article image. Even if you read thru the article it's still confusing and most people would still refer to that as the new pad for Wii U.

Soldier Field safe under next mayor
By SEAN JENSEN Staff email@example.com February 8, 2011 11:05PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
For a while, NFL stadiums were sweet on suites. But now the name's the game.
Of the NFL's 32 teams, 19 have naming-rights deals — many worth millions annually — and several other prominent stadiums are searching for a corporate partner.
Los Angeles hasn't had a team since the Raiders headed back upstate, but it already has secured a lucrative naming-rights deal in anticipation of the NFL's homecoming to Hollywood; Farmers Insurance agreed to a 30-year, $700 million agreement on a proposed stadium.
Although Chicago soon will elect a new mayor, the Bears' home will remain Soldier Field. According to their spokespeople, three of the top mayoral candidates would not consider a name change in any way, while one would be open to exploring the subject only if it included the name ''Soldier Field.''
''Soldier Field is a sacred Chicago landmark that honors our veterans and, as mayor, Gery would be very careful to protect that,'' said Brooke Anderson, spokeswoman for candidate Gery Chico. ''He would be open to exploring creative ideas that could attract sponsors while preserving the Soldier Field name and stadium to give soldiers the respect they deserve.''
But Rahm Emanuel, Carol Moseley Braun and Miguel del Valle are adopting the same hard-line stance as Mayor Daley, who insisted the stadium name remain untouched for his support of a $587 million renovation of Soldier Field in 2003.
The Bears acquiesced before the renovation project started, and any change would require the city and the team to revisit the matter.
The city has debt to deal with, while the team — despite ranking as the NFL's ninth-most valuable franchise by Forbes magazine — lags behind others in stadium revenue.
"It's typically the largest, single-biggest revenue source outside of broadcasting,'' said Marc Ganis, president of SportsCorp, a sports business consulting firm based in Chicago. ''For those teams that use it, it is vital. And for those teams that don't have it, it is significant hole.''
Major money
There's plenty of skepticism about the Los Angeles naming-rights deal, most notably the lack of a team.
''They have a lot of work to do before they can start cashing those checks,'' said David Carter, executive director of the USC Sports Business Institute. ''You don't know how much will be in trade or cash.''
Other NFL stadiums are raking in millions by partnering with companies. Reliant Energy reportedly pays $10 million a year for the Houston Texans to play in Reliant Stadium. That is thought to be the richest deal in the NFL. The most profitable naming-rights deal in the United States is by the New York Mets, a team that collects $20 million a year from Citigroup to play in Citi Field. The Barclays Center, which is under construction in Brooklyn, will reap the NBA's Nets $20 million a year once completed.
Two of the NFL's most valuable teams, both of whom opened new stadiums last year, are looking for naming-rights deals. The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants have had discussions with companies and are open to partnerships, although neither is too anxious. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remains patient, even though his stadium hosted the Super Bowl on Sunday.
''I have always said that unless we are ready in the right way with the right partner, then 'Cowboys Stadium' is the way we want it,'' Jones said last week.
Meanwhile, the Giants contemplated a proposal from Allianz that was worth anywhere from $20 million to $30 million a year but ultimately declined it, reportedly because of the company's ties to Nazi Germany during World War II.
There are debates about the actual value of companies buying naming rights to stadiums. Obscure and risky companies often have gambled and dissolved. The New England Patriots' stadium initially was called CMGI Field. But the company was a casualty of the dot-com bubble burst, and Gillette took over the naming rights.
''We have a lot of bank loans we've got to pay off, so having Gillette as a partner has helped us pay off our [debts],'' Patriots owner Robert Kraft said. ''[Gillette Stadium is] completely privately financed, so we have to be entrepreneurial and bring in sponsors. Gillette's been a great partner.
''It's like a good marriage. Hard to find a good partner, but when you find one, love them up and keep it going.''
There's no better case study in the actual value of stadium naming rights than the home of the Miami Dolphins. Opened in 1987, it's on its seventh name.
Last year, just before the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl, Sun Life acquired its naming rights. Since then, though, the financial firm has no complaints.
''It was an opportunity for us to get brand exposure and align ourselves with a premium stadium,'' said Bill Webster, Sun Life vice president and brand strategy and development leader. ''We reassessed after the economic turn, and we decided to promote that we're solid financially.''
Webster declined to provide terms of his company's deal with the Dolphins, but it's reportedly $25 million over five years.
In its first year — thanks to the Super Bowl, Orange Bowl and Pro Bowl — Sun Life projected it reached 175 million viewers, adding up to about $8 million in media value. Moreover, its analysis showed ''consumer-aided awareness'' rose from 4 to 18 percent in less than one year, a whopping 450 percent increase.
But Webster noted the naming-rights deal was ''one prong'' of a multistep initiative.
''You can't just do stadium-naming rights on its own,'' he said.
Falling behind
The NFC North might be the NFL's most competitive division, but the teams struggle to squeeze out revenue from their respective stadiums. The teams might play in some of the nation's most recognizable stadiums, but that history comes with a price.
The Minnesota Vikings are last in stadium revenue, and the Bears, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers aren't among NFL leaders.
The desperate Vikings last year announced a partnership to call their home ''Mall of America Field at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.'' A mouthful, for sure, yet a necessary measure because the Metrodome is a stadium among the NFL's worst in terms of suites.
The Lions sold naming rights to their stadium to Ford Motor Co. for just $1 million a year, through 2042, the longest known deal in the NFL.
Last May, the Packers hired Tim Connolly as vice president of sales and marketing and charged him to spearhead ways to generate more revenue and improve branding of the team.
But one thing is off limits, team president Mark Murphy said.
''Lambeau Field is probably the best asset that we have,'' Murphy said. ''To do anything to diminish that would be really hard. We've sold naming rights to the gates, and that's been helpful. But Lambeau Field is an icon, and we don't want to change that. We're not going to do that.''
The Bears have been creative, too. They signed a deal with Bank One, now Chase, to be their official ''presenting sponsor.'' Reports said the 12-year deal, signed in 2003, was worth more than $30 million.
The Bears are successful in many ways, including merchandising, yet they are at the back of the NFL pack for stadium revenue.
Chicago has two franchises that play in revered stadiums — the Cubs and the Bears — and ''if the Cubs could sell naming rights, they could get upward of $15 million to $20 million a year," Ganis said.
And adding a corporate partner to Soldier Field could net the Bears and the city at least $10 million a year.
That sort of money — an undetermined chunk the city would keep — could, for instance, help ensure the Taste of Chicago remains free to the public.
''The world has changed,'' Ganis said. ''But it has not stopped spinning. That could be in the dialogue, but it will not happen.''
The history of the stadium is too deep, dating to the 1920s, as a memorial to American soldiers who had died in wars.
''The name is a tribute to those who sacrificed and continue to do so for our freedom,'' said Renee Ferguson, Moseley Braun's spokeswoman.
