I'll be honest; I had to do a lot of research before sitting down to write this article. I have only come into contact with one uncircumcised penis during my short stint as a single adult woman, and it didn't really seem to be that big of a deal at the time.
However, when it comes to uncircumcised penises, there's more than meets the eye . Approximately 50% of men are "uncut," which is really how the penis is meant to be in the first place (not many men outside the United States are circumcised). Circumcision originated among ancient religious populations as a way to purify man by removing the source of his sexual pleasure. This tradition has held its ground into the 21st century, which can lead to quite a bit of confusion when a woman unexpectedly comes into contact with a penis au naturale.
It may surprise you to learn that the foreskin itself, before it is separated from its owner, is extremely sensitive to pleasure. During circumcision two very important things are removed that will never grow back: the frenulum, the band near the tip of the penis that connects the foreskin with the glans, and then of course, the foreskin and all the nerve endings that go along with it.
Not only are these sources of pleasure eliminated during circumcision, but the shaft of the penis is left unprotected and slowly loses its responsiveness through a process called keratinization. In an article published in Fathering Magazine, Rio Cruz explains that "the male glans and inner foreskin, just like the clitoris and inner labia of women, are actually internal structures covered by mucous membrane that, when exposed to the air and harsh environment through circumcision, develop a tough, dry covering to protect the delicate, sensitive tissue."
The main difference in having sex with an uncircumcised penis is that the foreskin acts as a glider of sorts, and it stays in place while the glans and shaft continue to thrust. This leads to less friction in the vagina and thus a more pleasurable experience for the female.
Buffy Daddy, you can find most of my facts at ww.cirp.org and those facts are usually from reputable medical journals.
The American Cancer Society absolutely doesn't recommend infant male circumcision for penile cancer. i don't know where you got that bit of misinformation. Some statistics for you to consider, Sweden where 17,999 out of 100,000 men go to their graves with their foreskins has a lower penile cancer rate than The US. There are other countries where circumcision is virtually unknown that have lower penile cancer rates as well.
No one was making any statements about Jews except the fact they are an insular culture. It is a simple fact that Jews tend to sleep with Jews and marry Jews. That makes them insular meaning they insulate themselves from other cultures as a practice. "Insular" is not bigotry. Jewish wives of circumcised men don't contract cervical cancer because as a culture, they have not been exposed to the HPV virus like populations that are not insular. Just as Americans have not had the HIV rates that African cultures have had because the two cultures just don't mix. It also explains why among heretosexuals in The US, the infection has been especially high in African Americans. There is just not much mixing between the races.
Maybe the problem is that you don't understand the meaning of "insular." The word comes from the word "insulate" meaning "kept apart' as an island culture would be insular. By their own choice, Jews in Israel tend to keep themselves apart from others therefore, they are insular.
Even if what you are saying has some truth to it, the fact still remains that the very circumcision kills 6 of every child it is supposed to protect from penile cancer decades later. (Search " Robert Baker," "Thomas S. Szasz" or "Dan Bollinger" for the studies of the deaths.) If you would like, I can also post the names and locations of infants that have died as a direct result of their circumcisions. But, I would also like you to post a list of names of boys that have died from not being circumcised.
Phimosis as a complication of diabetes does happen but it is relatively rare and not common enough to justify the risks of infant circumcision. It is also limited to older men with an onset commonly in the late 50's. It indicates the men have not controlled their diabetes in most cases. Irresponsibility of one person does not justify the violation of another person's body.
Regarding vaginal dryness, have you ever tried to find K-Y Jelly in Europe? It is difficult to find there yet it is available widely in The US. I'm assuming that you are circumcised. Have you ever noticed that your mons pubis is covered with (natural) vaginal lubricant after sex? Where do you suspect that came from? How do you suspect it got out? Could it be that your penis pulled it out? Do you know that the penile sleeve on a natural penis slides up and down the penis from near the tip to the base during sex instead of being fixed in place like a circumcised penis?
Even in women with very little vaginal lubrication, artificial lubrication is rarely needed if the man is intact. It takes very little because the vast majority of the lubrication stays within the vagina.
By the way, I see that you are slinging around a bit of scientific terrminology. If you are a physician, I recommend keeping it close to your vest. You've clearly come to a gun fight with a pocket knife. This is simply one you can not win and it can only become an embarassment.
.March 19, 2010 - 11:40am
what are all these men doing on our site anyway with their ridiculous premises? - artificial lube!!! -trust a man to come up with that one (talk about denial).....December 15, 2012 - 3:50pm
First of all, I find it interesting that you have not identified yourself by profession or gender, not that that is most important. Secondly, your "not so astute" assertions about your vast knowledge of the sub-cultural sexual practices of Jewish women (non orthodox) speaks for not only narrow-mindedness, at best, but perhaps you shouldn't "insulate" yourself and maybe read or speak to other cultures to gather more facts before pontificating about topics you may need to be educated about. I apologize if I may have missed any statement regarding your academic credentials. Exactly where did you get your degree in either gynecology, epidemiology, public health or urology?? I assume,from your BROAD PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, that the majority of your vocation deals with sexual health??
FYI, Jewish women (generally those non-orthodox, and I know it may come as a shock to you), also have sex with and not limited to, Christian, Catholic, Episcopalian, Mormon, Asiatics, Blacks, Latinos, and even people from outer space if they were available. That by itself is not to imply promiscuity unique to their subculture, but that the sexual morays in a great part of our American culture have changed significantly and crosses cultural borders.
Therefore, the assumption that they are "insulated from the rest of societal cultures sexually" and therefore, (do not have any meaurable incidence of HPV) is not only fallacious at best, but speaks of ignorance, disregard, misinformation and sophomorish childish behavior. By the way, Webster's dictionary defines "insular" in many connotations professor:
Main Entry: in·su·lar
Pronunciation: \ˈin(t)-su̇-lər, -syu̇-, ˈin-shə-lər\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Late Latin insularis, from Latin insula island
Date: 1611
1 a : of, relating to, or constituting an island b : dwelling or situated on an island
2 : characteristic of an isolated people; especially : being, having, or reflecting a narrow provincial viewpoint
3 : of or relating to an island of cells or tissue
With regards to "narrow viewpoint", maybe you ought to read more or broaden your friendship circles and not be quite so "insular" by nature yourself.
By the way, I am a surgeon, and I myself, separate from the rest of the "industry," do not advocate an across the board policy of neonatal circumcision unless the parents request this. Even in my adult practice I only advocate this to those that are resistant to standard therapies, whose wives can not control their yeast infections because they are passing it back and forth, men with complaints of chronic lacerations of the foreskin from inadequate stretching of the skin, diabetics with genital complications, or in general men who assert that their partners are not so motivated to perform oral sex on a phallus that blossoms forth an aroma somewhere between the stenches of a garbage heap or a jock strap that hasn't been cleaned in six months by an athlete, despite attempts at conventional therapies. Try not to take so many statements out of context for your own argument sake. That doesn't make for accumulating great points in debating.
I assume that you were too busy or disinterested to see what the American Cancer Society said in 2010, not in 1996, about risks for penile cancer. You might go the link I provided above, and I recommend that the readers go to this link as well, http://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/content/cri_2_4_2x_what_are_the_risk_f...
Nowhere did I advocate circumsion to prevent penile cancer, I only made the statement that there are risk factors that maybe you would like to be informed about. These are not meant to illustrate that men should rush out and get circumcised for that reason, but that curiously so, although penile cancer represents a smaller segment of oncologic pathology in this country, in other countries, Asiatic and South American, penile and urethral cancers are more common. Oh, by the way, my friend with the AK 47 in his/her shorts, I don't have a mons pubis, by definition, check your gender sheet more carefully next time you "arm yourself."
"Mons pubis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Mons pubis
Anterior view of human female pelvis, pubic hair shaved, indicating mons pubis
Latin mons pubis
Gray's subject #270 1265
Precursor Genital tubercle
In human anatomy or in mammals in general, the mons pubis (Latin for "pubic mound"), also known as the mons veneris (Latin, mound of Venus) or simply the mons, is the adipose tissue lying above the pubic bone of adult women, anterior to the symphysis pubis. The mons pubis forms the anterior portion of the vulva, and limits the perineal region proximally and anteriorly.
Out of fairness to you , you probably couldn't discern my sex from my photo?? And your photo is, Where??
Another observation for you, the moisture present on my "mons pubis" after sex is from HER lubrication and sexual responsivity, not caused by my presence or lack of foreskin, professor. You might ask fifty women the same question and poll their response. Where did you get that from?? Maybe you need to get out more often. By the way, a man or woman should not be measured intellectually by the "weapon he packs," but for sake of continuing your bantering, I doubt if your Hasbro toy gun is "even loaded." I'm not afraid to debate you any where, any place, anytime, "Professor."
Lastly, for humanitarian sake, maybe I can get a collection up and send "Astroglide," and not KY Jelly, to the european communities that might seek some sexual relief. KY jelly, professor, is known to be a drying agent after it is left on for any length of time, and it doesn't surprises me that it's implementation or request is quite limited there or any educated society.
PS. your choice of vernacular is challenging at best, that is unless you meant further derogatory or defamatory characterization of the Jewish people. It doesn't forebode a good style at this website, my friend.March 20, 2010 - 6:02am
"I assume that you were too busy or disinterested to see what the American Cancer Society said in 2010, not in 1996, about risks for penile cancer.

And it says "In weighing the risks and benefits of circumcision, doctors consider the fact that penile cancer is very uncommon in the United States, even among uncircumcised men. Neither the American Academy of Pediatrics nor the Canadian Academy of Pediatrics recommends routine circumcision of newborns just for medical reasons. In the end, decisions about circumcision are highly personal and depend more on social and religious factors than on medical evidence."
So why is buffydaddy so keen to shroud-wave about penile cancer? Castrated men live longer than "uncastrated" men, but we don't consider doing that without pressing medical need.March 24, 2010 - 11:30pm
Since you are so invested in degrees, do you have a degree in SCIENCE.. by this I mean a degree in one of the actual science, not the so-called "medical science".
Science is a consensus of FACTS and EVIDENCE.
"medical science" is merely a consensus of OPINIONS.. many predicted on scientifically-questionable "studies" (statistics) and very selective in content.
Previously on this forum, I have presented a short tutorial in science and an example of what it works, and its requirements.
After reading it, perhaps you can present a single SCIENTIFICALLY credible benefit for circumcision.
I AM a scientist, and after searching for one for over 10 years, I have yet to find one.
I am curious to see if you, as a member of the medical profession pushing this procedure, have one to offer.March 23, 2010 - 6:48am
Buffydaddy, I don't claim any medical credentials, just that I am knowledgeable in this issue.
"That by itself is not to imply promiscuity unique to their subculture, but that the sexual morays in a great part of our American culture have changed significantly and crosses cultural borders." The study you referred to was conducted in Sweden and Israel. Both of those would be insular as they are geographically isolated to a degree and it would be a hard case that Israeli women are not culturally insular. That is why the sudy has been discredited.
Yes, I took my definition of "insular" from Websters as well and many cultures are insular. Americans are insular because of the two "great ponds" to our left and right. Blacks are mostly insular from whites within our own borders. Groups with different languages can be insular. It seems that you take great offense at Jews being called insular. Why would that be, because you are Jewish maybe? Is that why you are so defensive and derisive?
"Even in my adult practice I only advocate this to those that are resistant to standard therapies, whose wives can not control their yeast infections because they are passing it back and forth, men with complaints of chronic lacerations of the foreskin from inadequate stretching of the skin, diabetics with genital complications, or in general men who assert that their partners are not so motivated to perform oral sex on a phallus that blossoms forth an aroma somewhere between the stenches of a garbage heap or a jock strap that hasn't been cleaned in six months by an athlete, despite attempts at conventional therapies."
From this statement, I'm assuming you are a urologist. The problems with your statements are evident. It is a simple fact of biology that bacterials, virals and fungals can not discern or discriminate between male and female cells. Therefore, the infections males experience are the same exact infections females experience and are appropriately treated with the exact same medications. These infections are rarely treated with amputative surgery in females but instead are treated successfully with simple medications. Females would be taken aback if you suggested genital amputative surgery to treat these infections but our society has accepted this prescription for males and therefore males unnecessarily accept it.
The lacerations you speak of are simply tearing of the frenulum. The frenulum is stretchable and can be permanently stretched by a simple regimine carried out over a few weeks. I'm surprised I know this and you don't. Are you over selling your knowledge when you put your shingle out? I suspect so. It should be you that is informing here and not me.
If a man has uncontrolled genital odors despite normal cleaning routines, most likely, he is being overly thorough with his hygiene or has been on an antibiotic regimine that has destroyed the normal flora within his foreskin. There is an easy homeopathic cure for this, plain unsweetened yogurt applied daily for several days to re-establish the normal bacterial colonization. It also works for women with odor problems. Why is it again that I'm having to tell YOU these things? Is it some deep seated psyclogical need to circumcise men or is it the lure of the $$$s?
With your education and profession, why is it that you recommend/defend circumcision when a vaccine for HPV has been on the market for 5 years and will make far more difference in the HPV infection rate than male circumcision could ever hope for? How can you assert that circumcision can make a difference when the estimated infection rate is 70% in The US? How can you balance the two when 97% will develop a natural immunity to the infection? Circumcise all for the 3% that will not develop this natural immunity hen the vaccine is available for both males and females? That's poor quality medicine!
RE The ACS site: Apparently, The ACS has taken The Castellegue Study to heart. Among the faults of the study, Castellague only included women who had more than 6 sexaul partners. How could he tell where the infection came from? It was impossible! When it was published in The NEJM, it was accompanied with an editorial refuting it. I suspect The NEJM accepted it for publication simply to keep another journal from publishing it without calling attention to it's numerous methodological problems.
The statement that it is best done at birth and is more effective if done at birth comes from Edgar Schoen, one of the most radical and public circumcision advocates on earth. I have never seen any research to back up the statement and I've seen a lot.
They are absolutely wrong about circumcisied males not developing phimosis. With the "loose" style circumcision that became common in the late 1980's, phimosis has become more common in circumcised children than in intact children. The scar tissue becomes the restrictiing tissue.
Yes, penile cancer is rare as they state. At most, 1:109,000 males and it is imminently treatable if not allowed to go for years. For each of these treatable cancers, approximately 6 infants will die from the circumcision procedure. That is literally killing with prevention especially when there is the HPV vaccine is available.
The ACS says: "This can lead to the build up of secretions, leading to smegma." Well, no. Smegma is the secretion, not leading up to. Smegma is a normal secretion of both the male and female genitals. It was demonized as a carcinogen in the early part of the 20th century but is now known to be a completely bengn substance that has an important function. It "conditions" the mucosal skin of both sexes and acts as a carrier of beneficial enzymes important to the immunological function. It also says it is an "oily secretion." This is absolutely not true. Mucosal skin does not secrete body oils nor sweat. They should know this and I'm astounded that they don't. I once dated a Director of the ACS. I wish I still did and she was still a director. I'd get that information corrected.
It gets even worse! They write: "It hasn't been proven, but some experts are concerned that smegma may also contain compounds that can cause cancer. Some older studies have suggested a link between smegma and penile cancer. Smegma probably doesn't cause penile cancer by itself, but it can cause the penis to become irritated and inflamed, and may make it harder to see very early cancers." It is patently clear that either a woman or circumcised man wrote this. Smegma is completely and totally water soluble and is both quickly and easily rinsed away with just plain water. The risk of penile cancer from smegma is the same as the risk of vulvar cancer from smegma. In fact, the hypothesis that smegma is a carcinogen is from circa 1920 and has long since been disproven. Smegma is an emollient and does not cause irritation or inflamation in either sex nor does it make it harder to see early cancers. Significant accumulations of smegma only develop if a man does not bathe and during the first two to three days after bathing, it is clear. It is suspected that circumcised men also develop smegma but when it is dry, it is clear and they just don't notice it. In men that restore their foreskins even in their 50's or 60's, noticeable smegma is quickly seen after begining restoration indicating that smegma production never ended for them. Just why would it be that smegma would not also be a carcinogen for them?
There are specific types of HPV that cause genital warts, penile cancer and cervical cancer and they are not the same. Incidentally, there are 5 distinct types of penile cancer but only one is associated with HPV infections. Unfortunately, all are lumped together when circumcision advocates try to use this as a justification for circumcison.
I am extremely disappointed that The ACS would have so much false information on their website.
I very well know what the mons pubis is and used it correctly. Are you really a doctor?
I don't post my photo or real information anywhere on the internet. It's a matter of personal security.
I can tell you are running out of amunition. Those who are backed into a corner eventually resort to personal attacks.
Again, the only thing I have said about the Jewish people is that they are insular. That is neither derogatory or defamatory. Most every culture, race or religion is insular to some degree and the insularity sometimes amazes me. I was amazed recently when I dated an Irish woman at the insularity between the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. I'm Protestant and she was Catholic and was amazed that she would date me when I learned of the insularity. I was also amazed at the insularity between the English and the Irish. There is an insularity between the English, South African whites, New Zealanders and Australians even though they are of the exact same stock and the insularity of all of these groups with Americans and Canadians. Clearly, Jews are among the most insular of these groups as they have a religious difference along with a cultural difference. To try to make anything of this just amplifies that you have run out of arguments.
Frank O'HaraMarch 20, 2010 - 9:29am
Frank, I am quite pleased that you have finally introduced yourself by name and obviously gender. What is nice Frank is that we both live in a society that still allows people to have the forum to agree to disagree, unlike some other societies miles away. I think we should stop shooting bullets at each other and not only continue to agree to disagree, but understand that you will never get a consensus regarding this subject even if you interview 10,000 scientists, doctors, epidemiologists, researchers, nurses, mothers, and even men themselves.
From your tone, it could be surmised that you yourself are not a "victim" of circumcision. Is that true?? It really doesn't matter, except that I know many Irish Catholics that are circumcised, and admit I don't know as many Irish Protestants to speak with certainty. It doesn't really matter. What really matters is that you sound angry, frustrated, and offensive. I'm not sure if it is your nature or just brought out here with such exclamation. Yes, I am a urologist with over 28 years of both academic, clinical and research experience. I am also one of the few integrative medical urologists in the USA.
Actually, amongst my peers nationwide, I performed less surgery on prostate cancers and question men extensively before they desire vasectomies and even circumcision. When asked upfront by a patient, my usual retort is that if you can keep proper hygiene, which even when instructed is not easy for a lot of men, and if you can easily retract the foreskin for sufficient cleansing, then the need for circumcision is unnecessary.
I am not trying to insult you, but what is your field of interest? You appear to be well-informed and I am curious only.
Some of the arguments that Shaina Gaul originally made in her initial report are flawed. I think that although well-intended, the amount of research that she undertook may have been insufficient. Having said that, the proof is certainly, "in the pudding," as we say. I have interviewed hundreds of patients post operatively, even years after the procedure, and I can count on just a few fingers how many thought that their sexual sensitivity and pleasure in general had changed for the worse. If anything, by and large, the indication for their procedures which I don't want to reiterate again, but found in previous posts, by itself created such a clinical state of improvement in their general genital well-being, not only a better sexual experience. You, Shaina, and I, can cite as many articles asserting both sides of the coin, but like I said, you would be more greatly advantaged if you could clinically interview a great number of these patients for real objectivity. Polls, at best, through research compilation have inherent flaws in subjectivity.
Regarding Jews being insular, the only offense that I felt, my friend, was that you made a generalized statement, too broad and inaccurate. This may speak for the orthodox sect, but not necessarily for all Jews in the US nor around the world. I would also go so far as to allege that Israeli women are not so insular today as they have been culturally portrayed historically. A lot of western influence there. Essentially, yes I am Jewish, and it may come as a shock to you, but we actually don't keep to ourselves in ghettos much anymore.
When you try to make an analogy of the clitoral and penile foreskin being so similar and having same bacterium, you're not entirely wrong. However, if you really take the time to think about it more deeply, the foreskin or distal preputial skin on the male is much more redundant and elongated. Therefore, this makes even the same or similar bacteria vulnerable to being trapped deep within these spaces, especially in tight phimotic states. For this reason alone, many couples fail to be able to stop the spread of yeast infections, historically many years ago a dilemma to practioners. That's not to generalize and say that every man with recurrent yeast infections needs to have a circumcision. Specifically, immunocompromised individuals, ie: diabetics, are so very much more prone to recrudescence of their infections from the sugar rich urine, which is why we are so adamant about controlling their diet and habits.
Each clitoris too is different in anatomical variance. Some have more redundancy to the clitoral hood, and some trap infections more readily due to the inability to retract the redundancy of the tight skin to adequately cleanse. That is why precisely some women are easier to treat than others and also not a rare cause of dyspareunia (painful intercourse). By the way, we don't refer in the Western Hemisphere at least, to cirumcision as "amputation," and certainly no one in their right mind, outside of Africa and some other third world countries, consider amputation of the clitoris other than for purposes of keeping their wives at close bay and not wandering..
What exactly is your extensive experience in counselling young boys, adolescents and adults with regards to "stretching of the frenulum" ??? Please I am not asserting that I know everything about everything, but please point me to some academic journal citations (peer reviewed), describing this alternative procedure to "enlighten me." Thanks.
Once again your over-generalization and taking too many comments out of context is a not so noble trait. Specifically, I have never asserted that to prevent HIV or HPV in men that I personally recommend circumcision. Where did I say that? I only made reference to journal articles. By the way Frank, the vaccines are absolutely worthless for many women that obviously have reached a certain age and will not be benefited what so ever in prevention once already exposed. How are they best counselled? And what about their partners if they are both seen clinically to repetitively bounce back the virus to each other? I am curious,what do you advise this group, besides condom usage, which by the way doesn't protects all genital skin surfaces ?
I glean from your words that you might be a practitioner of homeopathic medicine. I have no problem with that and incorporate this in my practice much more than main stream urologists. I just think that we might be looking at disease from two different perspectives, neither wrong, but different.
When you stated that a 97% figure of patients will develop a "natural immunity," where did you get the figures? Gardasil has only been out for less than four years. It would be too short of an interval, even if you include the R and D studies that preceded this implementation to make such an observation valid. Also is that to state that the need for pap tests in this population therefore would be also, "money driven" ?? or inefficient use of health care dollars? Obama may certainly like your argument after tomorrow. I mean, if far in the majority will develop such a "natural immunity," why should we be so concerned as clinicians???
With respect to HPV and cancers, obviously the money should be spent on education and prevention and not just treatment. The viral strains of HPV, 16 and 18, are the most implicated in the more important epidemiologic problem, that of cervical cancer. If you can change your mindset for a moment about "Jews being so insular around the world," I noticed that you didn't answer my observation completely about the greatly lower incidence of cervical cancer of Jewish wives married to Jewish husbands?? If we can assume that in today's modern society there are cross cultural sexual practices (outside of the ghettos of course).... that would expose this subset population to HPV, why is the incidence of cervical carcinoma so much lower in this population??
IF you know Frank what the mons pubis is actually, then why did you describe it anatomically for men ???????
Continuing to imply that you are narrow-minded or need to get out more often doesn't mean that I am "running out of arguments," trust me. You perhaps need to expand your social-cultural horizons more. Ignorance is bliss. Why don't we stop shooting bullets at each other and concentrate instead on working together as health care providers for the betterment of our patients?? I wonder if Shaina Gaul might reply to our posts? She is actually the originator of the discussion. This will be my last response to this issue. I wish you good luck and health.March 21, 2010 - 1:18am
With some issues, it is probably appropriate to "agree to disagree" but not in science. Debating a topic is the way science advances. Agreeing to disagree is typically a plea to stop the debate and in that environment, science does not advance so let's advance science and continue the debate.
Yes, I am a "victim" of circumcision. I don't use that term but if the shoe fits, I guess I'll wear it. I'm very laid back as a personality type so that characterization doesn' fit. I am also not Irish except by well watered down ancestry. My family came to The US more than 200 years ago and the decendants intermarried with other nationalities liberally. As a percentage, my heritage is well over 50% English but there is also Dutch, Scottish, German and maybe some other influences. Maybe you misread my post that I recently dated an Irish woman (born in Ireland) although her father was English so she was only 50% Irish.
If my choice had been protected, I would not have been circumcised. This is not a recent choice. I first realized there was a difference when I was 6 or 7 years old and at that early age, did not want to be circumcised although I had no understanding of it at the time. That wish has only intensified over time. This is the case of many men and it is growing as men discover the issue on the internet and come to realize what happened to them in their earliest days when they could not defend themselves.
As for my interest, I discovered this issue accidentally about 10 years ago and given my stance on it, I immediately started researching it. I was astounded to find that there was simply no justification for it medically and the religious implications just did not fit me. I also discovered there was a hot debate about it on the internet and knew if I was to effectively debate it, I needed to educate myself. That I did! I've spent probably thousands of hours reading research and like The AAP, could find no legitimate justification outside religion.
I regularly see misinformation in both lay writings and professional writings as I also did in Shania's writing. There is no doubt there is much misinformation in this issue and that has been true since the late 1800's and probably even before that. I also know it is difficult to sort through what is legitimate and what is not. In the early days of my own education, I saw constant conflicts among studies and writings and had great difficulty in sorting them into "valid" and "invalid" stacks. I know the vast majority also have this difficulty and use my knowledge of the topic to help them sort. That seems to have become my function in this debate.
I have only had the opportunity to interview 5 men in person that have been circumcised as adults. Of the five, four were very unhappy about it. Two became either non-orgasmic or impotent or both within 5 years. These were men in their late 30's to mid 40's. Another one circumcised in his early 20's found out I had some knowledge about the topic and started questioning me. I just happened to mention foreskin restoration and there was an immediate interest. He has since gone on to restore his foreskin using a non-surgical method and is extremely happy with the results. The fifth one, circumcised in his mid 20's and in his early 50's now insists that circumcision is the way to go but his new wife appears to disagree and has been searching for a lover outside the marriage as he has little interest. I have corresponded with dozens of men circumcised in adulthood on the internet and have only found a few that would do it again.
As for Jews being insular, the study was done almost 30 years ago so what the practice is today is not what it was 30 years ago. It would be a difficult argument that they were not insular simply because of the predominance of Jews in Israel and the geographical islolation. I suspect this was a knee jerk response to paint me as an anti-Semite. The shoe just doesn't fit. I grew up in a county where there was only two Jewish families at the time. One of the families, I never met. The other I only met the son and daughter. The son was a year behind me in school and I had some interaction with him. The daughter was two years older and I don't think I ever had any interaction with her at all. I don't think we were ever introduced. In fact, I didn't even know they were Jewish until well after my high school days. In this absence of influence, I didn't develop any opinion about Jews. Even today, Jews are rare in this area and I could not identify anyone I know as being Jewish and therefore, I am just not an anti-Semite. It may be hard for you to comprehend but I have dated several Jewish women in the recent past.
As for the bacteria being the same, I am not "entirely wrong," I am absolutely correct. You can not name a single bacterium, viral or fungal that infects the male genitals that does not also infect the female genitals, not a single one. The phimotic state is clearly the exception and relatively rare (+/-1%). The foreskin is also not "redundant" and the trapped bacterium is typically beneficial bacterium that is essential for good health. Only when there is a corresponding health problem is the bacteria a problem. These corresponding health problems are diabetes or a recent regimine of antibiotics just for example. The antibiotics are easy to resolve with just plain unsweetened yogurt as previously posted. The diabetes is appropriately controlled and the phimotic state is usually avoided. in one case of phimosis that I have helped with, my first question was "Have you been checked for diabetes?" and a couple of weeks later, he came back with a diagnosis of diabetes. The phimosis was "the canary in the mine" that resulted in him having his diabetes diagnosed and starting treatment. I think you would unquestionably agree that in this case, his phimosis was actually a benefit as it brought the root problem to the fore so it could be treated extending his life span and quality of life.
Yes, there are underlying problems with diabetics, HIV infectees and others but it is not appropriate to subject babies to circumcision as a prophylaxis for these conditions.
I have counseled several men in both stretching the preputial sphincter and the frenulum and all were successful. I did not point you to a specific website but instead, pointed you to the CIRP.ORG website. It is a library of information on primarily male circumcision and is quite complete. I sent you there with the hopes that you would browse the information as a learning experience. For the information on stretching the frenulum and the preputial sphincter, just search for "Beaugue." If I remember correctly, there has been other research as well and using the term 'stretching" will probably return those.
You wrote: "I have never asserted that to prevent HIV or HPV in men that I personally recommend circumcision. Where did I say that? I only made reference to journal articles." Yes, that is what you did and in doing that, you were passing the myth that circumcision prevents these infections. This is deceptive and a not so subtle recommendation. Instead of calling attention to these incorrect, fraudulent or outdated studies, why not just say nothing?
The latest information on the HPV vaccine does state that it offers no protection from HPV but age is not a factor. If a woman has only had one encounter (virgin) with one man who has only had one encounter (virgin), there is a very good possibility that neither one is infected and the vaccine will be effective. When the vaccine was first announced in the fall of 2004? it stated it was effective in women who were already infected but by the next spring immediately before it was put into distibution, that had changed to only effective in those not infected. This gave immediate rise to suspicion for me because it was also being promoted to be adminstered to school children and a required immunization. In fact, a few states did make it a required vaccination after intense lobbying by Merck Pharma. At $360.00 for the three injections, it was a money maker almost unequalled and making it a requirement just insured those revenues. I don't argue with it being a required vaccination specifically. I do think it would go a long way toward ending cervical cancer but as a conservative, I have problems with anybody requiring anything. Maybe after the vaccine has been out a sigificant time and no unexpected outcomes are observed.
Incidentally, a study of 13 - 15 girls was conducted and it was found that 54% of them had already been infected with HPV. The conclusion of the study was that they were infected as they passed through their mother's birth canal. How is it that these girls would be protected from HPV via male circumcision?
No, I am not a practitioner of homeopathic medicine.
The assertation that 97% of HPV infectees will develop a natural immunity came from The National Campaign for Cervical Cancer and HPV website.
No, I do not recommend doing away with the pap smear. I believe women should start getting the pap smear in their late teens as many of them will contract the infection at birth and the time from initial infection to indications of cancer is 16 to 20 years. At this time, this is the best way to avoid or treat the cancer or pre-cancerous condition. I also strongly disagree with the administration's recent recommendation that women start mamography at age 50. My Mother was diagnosed at 37 years old and was successfully treated. If it had not been for the early diagnosis, almost 40 years of her life would have slipped away. Even though the vast majority will develop the natural immunity, there are those that won't. Even one preventable death is one too many. I believe that pap smears should start at least by 20 years and mamographies start at least by 40 years old and if it is at taxpayer expense, I'll gladly ante up.
Cervical cancer is probably less predominate in Jewish women married to Jewish men simply because the infection has not entered that segment of the population to become wide spread while in The US, we intermix so the infection spreads widely. Incidentally, there has never been such a study in The US that separates Jews from all the rest for the study purposes. I suspect the results would be quite different here. Using Sweden and Israel as the study populations was not legitimate as they are so different. In a study such as this, you choose the two populations that are most alike to avoid confounders.
Yes doctor, I do know what the mons pubis is and I also know both sexes have it. "Mons pubis" is translated into "Pubic mound." Both males and females have a pubic mound on the pubic bone. This is just above the penis in men and just above the vaginal cleft in women. Did you not know this?
I am neither narrow minded or need to get out more often. I have broad social horizons. You engaged in the debate and I did as well. I am not "shooting bullets" at you, just providing truth. That is something that has been conspiciously absent in the topic for many years. I am thankful for the internet as the truth is now widely available to anyone who seeks it. I am merely a facilitator in seeking the truth makiong it easier to wade through all the outdated information, misinformation and outright lies. This is not to criticize you or call your credentials into question but by profession, you are a scientist. However, I also suspect your religion affects your ability to evaluate and accept information that you may feel is contrary to that religion. I suspect it can be a challenge but I would recommend you put the two in separate compartments for the betterment of your patients. As I am not a Jew or really deeply involved in religion, I don't have that factor pulling at me. My concern is about infants and men and their rights and welfare.
I had also noticed that Shania has not responded. However, many don't realize the controversy they are starting when they write about this topic and some are intimidated. That is especially so when they are faced by medical professionals who disagree with them and start posting medical studies and articles. Thankfully, I am not easily intimidated and help them out.
I'm sorry to hear you will be leaving. Is that because I intimidated you? If that is the case, let me apologise as that was not what I intended to do. Actually, I do like having opposition because the opposition brings up points for discussion. Please do not abandon us so quickly.

P. O. Box 927
Elk Grove Village, IL 60009-0927
Dear Dr. Rappo:
As representatives of the American Cancer Society, we would like to
discourage the American Academy of Pediatrics from promoting routine
circumcision as preventative measure for penile or cervical cancer.
The American Cancer Society does not consider routine circumcision
to be a valid or effective measure to prevent such cancers.
Research suggesting a pattern in the circumcision status of partners
of women with cervical cancer is methodologically flawed, outdated and
has not been taken seriously in the medical community for decades.
Likewise, research claiming a relationship between circumcision and
penile cancer is inconclusive. Penile cancer is an extremely rare
condition, effecting one in 200,000 men in the United States. Penile
cancer rates in countries which do not practice circumcision are lower
than those found in the United States. Fatalities caused by
circumcision accidents may approximate the mortality rate from penile
Portraying routine circumcision as an effective means of prevention
distracts the public from the task of avoiding the behaviors proven to
contribute to penile and cervical cancer: especially cigarette smoking
and unprotected sexual relations with multiple partners. Perpetuating
the mistaken belief that circumcision prevents cancer is inappropriate.

Male circumcision is proven to prevent AIDS? What about Female Circumcision then?...
"Stallings et al. (2009) reported that, in Tanzanian women, the risk of HIV among women who had undergone Female Circumcision was roughly half that of women who had not; the association remained significant after adjusting for region, household wealth, age, lifetime partners, and union status."

Alumni Reflections
"I believe (or at least like to think) that I have made many wise decisions in my life. One decision I have made that I know was possibly the wisest of all, was majoring in Psychology. I have used all that I have learned studying Psychology at St. Mary's College of Maryland on a daily basis. Since obtaining my degree I have been employed by two highly accredited organizations that have provided me with numerous life-changing experiences. I worked as a Caseworker with the Choice Program where I worked with at-risk and gang-involved adolescents and their families. I then worked for the Institute for Family Centered Services as a Family Centered Specialist, where I provided home-based family therapy. Had I not received a degree in Psychology from such an incredible college filled with such highly-educated and motivated professors, I would not be writing this post about my past successes. Best major there is (in my opinion)." ~Brian Mansky '07
Students Reflect: "Why I studied psychology"
Hope Lobkowicz '05 (Government Affairs Senior Associate with Pew Environment Group)
"I chose to major in psychology early on in my undergrad career at SMC. I was interested in animal behavior and cognitive psychology, but what helped me to make my final decision to major in this discipline rather than something like biology, for example, was the major's wide range of courses...Psychology is a great foundation for any future studies, and conducting any research study as an undergraduate will really help you get a hold of the field's general principles and applications. "
Abby Rotholz '05 (earned her MA in Counseling and Guidance with a minor in Native American Studies at New Mexico State University in 2013)
"Psychology is not a field that trains you with technical knowledge but instead gives you better insight into what it means to be human. Studying psychology at St. Mary's has helped me to develop a deeper and more intuitive understanding of behavior, motivation, and thought processes both in myself and in those around me. Learning about how and why people think, desire, strive and ultimately act the way they do can result in a fresh perspective on a lot of human interactions. Psychology is so interesting because it utilizes scientifically rigorous standards of empirical study to help explain our most personal aspects--how and why we are who we are. Of course not all psychological theories are empirically proven, but if nothing else, these provide food for thought and encourage educated introspection. A rudimentary understanding of human psychology is undoubtedly beneficial, both personally and professionally, to anyone not pursuing a career in hermitage. I plan to use the base of knowledge procured at St Mary's to work with kids in a residential treatment facility. Grad school (probably child clinical psychology) will come sometime after that, and eventually I would like to be a child and family therapist."
Brian Jobe '03 (Graduate Student, UMBC & Intern at Kennedy Krieger Institute)
"Finding psychology was a serendipitous experience for me; starting out as a computer science major and not being completely happy with that major. After my first psychology class, I realized the potential to use psychology as a tool to help people overcome their problems, and I've never regretted the switch. My time at St. Mary's greatly prepared me to enter in the research field, with especial importance given to my work on my SMP. The year-long project was a great learning experience, culminating in the joint presentation by Professor Nutt-Williams and myself at the 2003 EPA conference in Baltimore."
Patrick Vargas '92 (Associate Professor of Advertising, University of Illinois)
"At SMCM I changed majors a number of times, finally settling on philosophy because I was interested in finding answers to "big questions." Ultimately, philosophy didn't provide me with answers; it only increased the number and quality of questions I had. I took an intro psych course to fulfill a requirement, and found that I enjoyed it a great deal. In particular, I enjoyed the research methodology employed by scientific psychologists. Here, I thought, was a way to get some answers! Around the same time I developed an interest in stereotyping and prejudice. Social Psychology offered a way to combine my interests. I had the good fortune to work with Prof. Donna Eisenstadt (now at St. Louis University) on a variety of social psychological research projects, and found myself increasingly interested in the field. Prof. Eisenstadt helped guide me to Ohio State for graduate work, and the rest is history."
Leon J. Henry '88 (Executive Director of the MD Regional Practitioners Network for Fathers and Families)
"I knew early on that I wanted to work in human services, but needed an academic background that would enable me to truly understand people, the culture they operate in and the internal motivation that govern behavior. Even though I did not become a Psychologist, having a background in human behavior is a critical tool in understanding people and how my work can influence or improve their situation."

David Ben-Gurion is one of the most important political figures of the 20th Century. Born in Poland in 1886, he moved to a Jewish farming settlement in Galilee in 1906. For over forty years, he was at the centre of the struggle for Jewish political independence. He founded the Histadrut, the confederation of Jewish workers in Palestine, following the first World War, which became a central force in social, economic and social affairs. In 1930 he was named the head of the Israeli Workers Party and in 1935 the chairman of the Zionist Executive. Throughout WWII, he played an integral role in Israel's development, heralding in the decade of "fighting Zionism" and campaigning hard for the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth in Palestine.
In 1948, he delivered Israel's declaration of independence. He became Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, fusing together the disparate underground militias into a single Israeli Army which successfully thwarted invading forces from Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt. It is during this time that he earned the name "Father of the Nation."
Throughout his career, he made meticulous notes on each day's events. For years, these diaries have only been available to a handful of Israeli academics, but they have now been made available to the public. Private Journals 1947-1948: The Birth of the State of Israel contain revelatory letters between Ben-Gurion and world leaders such as Winston Churchill and Konrad Adenauer as well as speeches and minutes from crucial meetings with the British Mandate officials and the World Zionist congress.
In conjunction with the French publisher La Martiniere, who published Nelson Mandela's Conversations With Myself, Curtis Brown is selling international rights in this historic book. In much the same way that Conversations with Myself gave the world a glimpse into the private thoughts of Nelson Mandela, these diaries will give readers never-before-granted access into the mind of one of the great political vanguards of the 20th Century.

The New York Knicks lost their 13th playoff game in a row and set a new league record when they were defeated 87-70 by the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.
The Knicks, who have not won a playoff game since 2001, played without three of their players, Amar'e Stoudemire, Jeremy Lin and Iman Shumpert.
Stoudemire is nursing the hand he cut when he punched the glass door of a fire extinguisher box after Game 2. He said he hopes to be back for Sunday's Game 4.
Carmelo Anthony scored 22 points for the Knicks, but LeBron James' 32 points included eight straight points in the fourth quarter that gave the Heat an indomitable lead.
The Knicks now must win Sunday's game or lose the entire series.
Knicks fans who spoke with NY1 on Thursday were not too confident their team would come back and win the series.
"I don't think they can. Look at the performance of the first three games, they're not playing well enough to beat the sweep," said a fan.
"Miami's defense is too much," said a second.
"So focused on defense, I think we forgot about offense. I'm going to go cry in the shower," said a third.
Game 4 is Sunday at three-thirty at the Garden.

DePaul makes ACT and SAT scores optional for high school seniors
BY KARA SPAK Staff firstname.lastname@example.com September 1, 2011 6:16PM
DePaul campus for story on the school dropping ACT and SAT scores as requirements for admission. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Students who do not submit ACT or SAT scores on their DePaul University applications are asked to answer the following questions:
1. Describe your short- and long-term goals and how you plan to accomplish them.
2. Describe a personal challenge you have faced, or a situation that you found to be particularly difficult. How did you react and what conclusions did you draw from the experience? Were you or others treated unfairly? Were you able to turn to others for support?
3. Discuss how involved you have been with your community through volunteer, neighborhood, place of worship, or other activities. Describe why community is or is not important to you. Give examples of playing a leadership role in your school or community.
4. Think about the interests you have pursued outside of your high school classes (e.g. independently or through a student organization, part-time work, sports, playing a musical instrument, volunteering, independent study, etc.) Describe any knowledge or mastery of skills you have gained as a result.

High school seniors planning to apply to DePaul University for the freshman class of 2012 can leave some key information off their applications.
Their ACT or SAT scores.
The Chicago school isn't the first college to drop standardized tests for incoming students, but is believed to be the largest private non-profit school to do so.
The decision, five years in the making, centered around DePaul's mission as a school with a diverse student population, including many who are part of the first generation in their families to pursue a college degree, said Jon Boeckenstedt, associate vice president of enrollment management.
"People here know that if you have at the core of your identity changing lives or helping people move from situations of bad to better, you have to give them an opportunity," Boeckenstedt said. "You can't judge them the same way as everyone else."
Students can still include their test scores if they want, and admissions officials expect most students will. For those who don't, they are asked to submit answers to four supplemental essay questions that ask about goal setting, community involvement and personal challenges.
The supplemental questions have been part of DePaul's application for three years.
"They're designed to help us uncover the characteristics of the spirt, heart, mind and soul," Boeckenstedt said.
For this year's incoming freshman class, DePaul received 16,000 applications for 2,500 spots. Approximately fifty-seven percent were in the top quarter of their high school class, the average grade point average was 3.57 and the average ACT composite was 25.4 and SAT, math and verbal, was 1165, according to a preliminary look at the class.
Of the incoming class of 2010, the latest figures available, 52 percent fall into one of four categories that make up what DePaul calls a "mission student" — a first generation college student, low income, an underrepresented student of color or a student from the City of Chicago. About four percent of the incoming 2010 freshman class fell into all four of these categories.
National and state data consistently show a correlation between high incomes and high ACT and SAT scores, said Carla Cortes, DePaul's enrollment management special project leader. But in a decade's worth of data, ACT and SAT scores had little correlation with how DePaul's students performed in the classroom when they got on campus, Cortes said
"The best and fairest criteria for predicting how a student will do in college is the high school GPA, their high school record in college prep courses over four years," she said.
Araceli Palafox, the college counselor at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School on the Southwest Side, said DePaul's decision would benefit her students.
"The students that we serve are first generation college students," she said. "They don't have the resources to do test prep. I think it's going to open doors of opportunity."
Jim Miller, president of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, said hundreds of schools have gone test optional successfully. He doesn't see a day, though, where the majority of schools won't require a standardized score.
"I think the folks that have done it have felt tests can be one tool with which to assess students, but that it's not the best tool for all students," Miller said.

From now through April 4th, to mark their 10th anniversary online, Freshpair is having one of their biggest sales ever. Many of the top brands are 25% off. Some of those brands include Calvin Klein, Barely There, Lunaire, and Ed Hardy, just to name a few. The prices are already marked to reflect the discount and shipping is free on all U.S. orders.

THE HAGUE, The Netherlands -- Royal Dutch Shell plc is to proceed with its Carmon Creek project in Alberta, Canada. The project is expected to produce up to 80,000 barrels of oil per day. Carmon Creek is a thermal in situ project that is 100 percent Shell owned and will be part of the company's broader production, refining and marketing business across the full value chain in North America.
"I'm pleased we're moving ahead with this important project," said Lorraine Mitchelmore, Executive V.P. Heavy Oil. "Shell's Peace River oil leases represent a significant development opportunity. Our decision to invest in Carmon Creek has been carefully studied with the goal of designing a project that is competitive from a commercial, technological and environmental perspective."
At Carmon Creek, Shell combined its global procurement reach and technology with access to local expertise to design a facility that is both commercially viable and minimizes environmental impacts. This design includes a novel well delivery system and the use of cogeneration that will also feed power into the Alberta grid; enough to power half a million homes. Once the project is up and running the aim is to virtually eliminate the need for freshwater use for steam generation through recycling of water produced with the oil.
Carmon Creek will build on Shell's more than 30 years of experience developing its Peace River heavy-oil leases and established relationships with local communities and First Nations. It is expected to employ more than 1,000 local trades and contractors during peak construction periods.
Shell submitted its regulatory application for Carmon Creek in 2010 and received approval from the Alberta Energy Regulator in April 2013, following a rigorous and transparent review process. The project is expected to provide a secure, reliable energy source and benefits to Alberta and Canada for more than 35 years.

Kennedy Ann Kindness Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula, on July 28, 2010, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, KENNEDY ANN KINDNESS, a 25-year-old resident of Helena, appeared for sentencing. KINDNESS was sentenced to a term of:
- Probation: 3 years
- Special Assessment: $100
KINDNESS was sentenced in connection with her guilty plea to being a felon-in-possession of a firearm.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara J. Elliott, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On September 6, 2006, KINDNESS was convicted of deceptive practices which thereby prohibited her from possessing firearms.
On February 23, 2009, KINDNESS, along with another individual, fired and used a firearm, that is, a Hi-Point 9mm pistol near Helena.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that KINDNESS will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, KINDNESS does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

m: AL13 Ultra-thin Aluminum Bumper for iPhone 5 hands-on
Seeing that it's a bumper case, the AL13 is uniquely designed to not only protect the iPhone from bumps and bruises, but it also minimizes the amount of bulk it puts on. For starters, this is a serious bumper case, seeing that it's fashioned from aerospace grade aluminum material – thus, giving it that level of sturdiness that's already associated with Apple's pride and joy. In protecting the beloved thing, it actually raises the iPhone's surface, so that its front and back sides don't come into contact with surfaces when it's laid flat.
We'll be the first to admit that the AL13 sprinkles on that level of premium, but when it's only covering the bezel of the iPhone, it's not as profound if it were entirely covering the back. Still, the dark metallic finish perfectly complements the solid construction of the iPhone. However, it'll pain some people to know that this is priced at a whopping $79.99.
Without question, it's a pricey investment for something that outlines the iPhone only, but it does come included with a high impact, anti-scratch, anti-fingerprint, and anti-glare polyurethane screen protector. Now, the question that remains is whether or not the $80 cost is worth it. Strangely, it seems like most of that cost is probably put into the packaging of the AL13, which somehow receives just as much love too.

3. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
they will bend to whats popular and sells
when the iphone was on top it was all about the iphone, now the galaxy is the same thing happens....they neglect the other devices as all they are concerned with is whats popular
plus look at the fanatics on here you mention samsung or apple and your guaranteed traffic
id like to see HTC, Sony, LG and nokia getting some attention

Phonearena: Let's take some big, really great photos with lots of detail...... And then ruined them all by slapping our huge watermark right in the middle. Perfect
Seriously trim the phone arena watermark abit and off center.
Other than that great website

Your big watermark is spoiling the photos.

Is there any similar cases for the S4 and the htc one.
10. TechDork (Posts: 244; Member since: 10 May 2010)
I never understood the purpose of a "bumper". I'd prefer something that actually protects my phone..not just the sides of it. Case-Mate Tough Xtreme! ^_^

A man has his hair cut around the corner from where two police officers were shot in the head in the Brooklyn borough of New York, December 22, 2014. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio sought to ease tensions with the city's police force on Monday, calling for a suspension of protests against the use of excessive force until after the funerals of two officers shot dead in an ambush. De Blasio, a Democrat who has come under intense criticism from some police unions for his handling of protests over police killings of unarmed black men, asked the city to stand by families of the officers who were killed Saturday in Brooklyn.

You have reached Visionary Fanfiction, my personal corner on the web for all my stories, and the eventual fanart and information related to it.
My name is Ida, on the web mostly known as ladyvisionary. Fanfiction for me is a way to escape real life, and lose myself in a world filled with wonder and endless possibilities. A lot of time, thought and effort have gone into making this site and its contents, so don't steal, copy, or spread anything from here without my permission. Feel free to leave a message on my tag-board, or e-mail me: Stuff like that always makes me happy!
@ Ida
will you stand by me?
Two new fanfiction book-covers, this time for A Second Chance and Buffy, the Witchy Vampire Slayer. Also, the links/resources have been updated to include all the sources to my art on this site!
it's a little bit funny
Hi everybody! Because of FF.net's new image feature, I have created fanfiction-book-covers for all my one-shots and the Out of the Blue series. The Return of the Saviour and Roads Travelled also have book covers, but they're all based on wallpapers from the story/series so they are not new compositions.
i will be close behind
To my OOTB readers who are patiently waiting for the next chapter of Way of the Warriors: as you probably know, it is supposed to be followed by one final part 6, before the OOTB series is done. However, for various reasons, I've decided not to do another story and instead combine Way of the Warriors with my plans and timeline for part 6. Mostly, this is because of how slow my updates are lately: doing yet another story in the series after the slowpoke WotW has turned out to be doesn't seem feasible or fair to those who I know are certainly eager to see the series finished and concluded! :D Obiously, this also means the story will be longer: right now, I'm looking at maybe forty or forty-five chapters in total.
So WotW will be the final part of the series, and it will also be renamed to Into the Blue which is the title I planned to name part 6. Way of the Warriors will instead be the undertitle to all the chapters posted thus far, as well as a couple of chapters after that. In essence, you could call that 'book 1'. 'Book 2,' which will be the second half of Into the Blue, will then have another undertitle, called When Lightning Follows Thunder. (In reality, thunder follows lightning, when it comes to what the human eye/ear percieves: in reality, both occur at the same time. The title is meant to be ironic as well as symbolic, hinting towards a 'once in a lifetime' event where the rules of nature/fate are for once twisted).
use this chance to be heard
I've finally gotten around to update this again! In my Roads Travelled series, 14 chapters have been posted of Road of Sacrifice (part 3). Also, I have added two new plot-bunnies as well, one for the Hunger Games, and one for Thor (movie-verse). It seems the old tag-board is no longer working, so instead, I've added the tag-board I use on my Roads Travelled site. I am now also a member of Archive of Our Own, where, except for fanfiction, I will also be posting my music videos.
forever is our today
It's been awhile since I updated this site, and a lot has happened since last time. Unfortunately, I didn't win in any of the cathegories at Twisting the Hellmouth's 2010 Crossing Over Awards but thank you everyone who voted and believed in me! In my Roads Travelled series, the last chapter of Road of Carnage (part 2) has been posted, as well as the first two chapters of Road of Sacrifice (part 3). As a sign of the new 'season,' there is a new banner featuring the ROS-cast! I have begun writing a new multi-chaptered Dark Angel/Bufy the Vampire Slayer story called Backlash, but nothing of it has been posted yet. Also, I have added two new plot-bunnies as well, one for Star Wars, and one for Fushigi Yugi. So much I want to write - so little time... *sniffs*
thank you for loving me
The title for this update says it best, really - thank you for loving me! Road of Innocence has been nominated in three cathegories for Twisting the Hellmouth's 2010 Crossing Over Awards: For best HP crossover, best portrayal of Buffy, best pairing (Buffy Summers/Remus Lupin) and best original character (Samantha Lowell). I am so honoured. If you'd like to vote for me, I'd be really grateful, but just the nominations are more than I expected - so to whoever nominated me, thank you, espescially!

American Red Polls
Red Poll Breed
Pure beef cattle breeds exist and thrive only to the extent that they can produce profits for their owners, across many environments, many markets and changing times. Since the development of the commercial beef industry in the United States, many breeds have come and gone. Long-term profitability is rare in the US beef industry. Red Poll cattle have been profitable for their owners ever since first arriving in the United States in 1873. For over 137 years, Red Polls have been working and profiting on America's Family Farms.

Fan Appreciation Month is highlighted by a special $10,000 FastBreak Foundation grant presentation, in which the winning organization will be decided through an online fan vote at timberwolves.com/community. The April schedule of events also features the annual Timberwolves Ten and Timberwolves Scholarship awards, a Randy Foye shopping outing with foster children, a Ronald McDonald House appearance by Kevin Love, Fan Appreciation Night during the Wolves game vs. Phoenix on April 11, and culminates with the grant giveaway at the Wolves season finale vs. Sacramento on April 15.
"Timberwolves fans are so important to our franchise and we're very happy to express our thanks for their continued support," said Timberwolves President Chris Wright. "Each and every season our fans come out to enthusiastically support us on the court and in the community and their passion is truly appreciated by all of our players and staff."
The Timberwolves will say "Thank You" to the fans during Fan Appreciation Night at the Wolves game vs. Phoenix on April 11. The night will feature numerous opportunities for fans to win prizes. Fans will also have the opportunity to receive autographed merchandise from the players following the game. Fan Appreciation Night will also feature the presentation of the Timberwolves' annual Community Service Awards, in which a Wolves player, staff member, minority owner and season ticket holder will be recognized for their contributions to the community during the past season.
The Timberwolves Fan Appreciation Month schedule of events culminates with the FastBreak Foundation's $10,000 grant presentation. For the fourth straight year, the Timberwolves FastBreak Foundation is hosting an online vote for fans to select a local non-profit organization to receive the foundation's monthly grant of $10,000. Beginning today, April 1, and continuing through April 13, fans can log on to timberwolves.com/community and cast their vote for one of five pre-selected charities. The organization receiving the most online votes will be announced at the Wolves season finale vs. Sacramento on April 15, where it will receive the grant in a special on-court presentation. The five pre-selected organizations eligible for the grant are Assistance League Minneapolis-St. Paul, Cheerful Givers, Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health, The Link, and The Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment, Inc. More information about each organization can be found online at timberwolves.com/community.
The Timberwolves Fan Appreciation month also includes two programs aimed at recognizing high school students for their contributions to the community. Now in its sixth season, the Timberwolves Ten awards program honors the top senior girls and boys high school basketball players throughout the state of Minnesota. A committee consisting of coaches, league officials and media members selected the winners. Timberwolves Ten honorees will be invited to a VIP reception and will be recognized in an on-court presentation during the Timberwolves season finale vs. the Sacramento Kings on April 15.
The FastBreak Foundation will also present five $2,000 college scholarships to high school seniors from across the region. A panel comprised of FastBreak Foundation representatives chose the winners, who all exemplify excellence both in the classroom and in their respective communities. The scholarship winners will also be announced in an on-court ceremony during the Wolves game vs. Sacramento on April 15.

"Next to President Kennedy and perhaps his brother, Robert, Ted Sorenson was probably the most important individual in the country [during the Kennedy administration]." So intones analyst and professor Ralph Buultjens in his introduction of Ted Sorenson, JFK's special counsel, advisor, and longtime speechwriter. Indeed, students of Kennedy history point to Sorenson as the great behind-the-scenes figure of the time.
In this edition of Live from the 92nd Street Y, recorded in 2008, two years before Sorenson's passing, Professor Buultjens and Sorenson discuss the civil rights movement, the space race, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and his famous, fallen boss.
In his intimate and revealing memoir, Counselor: A Life at the Edge of History, Sorensen recalls some of the most dramatic moments of Kennedy's presidency, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil rights movement and the decision to go to the moon. He discusses current events and Kennedy's legacy with noted professor Ralph Buultjens.
