Medical Codes for Aspergillosis Inadequate
Medical codes for the classification of diagnoses are important to get right as it is those codes that are typically used to calculate prevalence in any particular country. Prevalence has a significant effect on future funding for the treatment of a disease as those figures are often used to guide national health funding bodies when they are deciding how much to devote to the diagnosis and treatment of each disease. Accurate prevalence figures are also important for research, drug development and much more.
The available ICD-10 medical codes for aspergillosis (Blog article) are poor and we would like to help the National Aspergillosis Centre have these codes revised:
We need an expert volunteer to help work with the coders to redevelop this set of codes - if you feel you can do this us please contact us at email@example.com
Public Health and Tropical Medicine Fellowships. It has come to our attention that there are a series of Fellowships funded by the Wellcome Trust available to applicants for low and middle income countries. We would like to encourage medical mycology applicants and would be happy to provide facilities and expertise for training at the National Aspergillosis Centre for applicants. We would like to identify applicants for these Fellowships and help facilitate application - please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com

MYCOBIOSYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES FROM ASPERGILLUS NIGER: A SOIL FUNGAL ISOLATE A. niger is successfully used to generate nanoparticles (green synthesis). In present study, ideal conditions for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Aspergillus niger were found to be temperature 37 0C, pH of 6.0 and substrate of 2.0 mM.
The Evolutionary Imprint of Domestication on Genome Variation and Function of the Filamentous Fungus Aspergillus oryzae Genomic analysis of what makes A. oryzae different from its wild ancestor A. flavus. A oryzae is entirely domesticated and has existed in human-mantiained culture for up to 9000 years.
Challenging Recommended Oral and Intravenous Voriconazole Doses for Improved Efficacy and Safety: Population Pharmacokinetics-Based Analysis of Adult Patients With Invasive Fungal Infections Higher oral than intravenous VRC doses, followed by individualized adjustments based on measured plasma concentrations, improve achievement of the therapeutic target that maximizes the probability of therapeutic response and minimizes the probability of neurotoxicity. These findings challenge dose recommendations for VRC.
Routine processing procedures for isolating filamentous fungi from respiratory sputum samples may underestimate fungal prevalence A total of 55 sputum samples from 41 patients with COPD were analyzed, comparing fungal recovery of five dilutions of sputa on two media. Isolation of A. fumigatus in culture was significantly higher using the research approach compared to the HPA standard method for mycological investigations (P < 0.001). There was also a significant difference in the recovery rate of A. fumigatus (P < 0.05) between media. This highlights the need for a standardized approach to fungal detection which is more sensitive than the method recommended by the HPA
Voriconazole and posaconazole improve asthma severity in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and severe asthma with fungal sensitization Both voriconazole and posaconazole are potentially effective alternative treatment options for SAFS and ABPA and may improve asthma control and reduce severity, though larger prospective studies are required to support these retrospective study findings.

Patients Website
Homeowners in the UK can now contact an organisation (Institute of Specialist Surveyer and Engineers) that is trying to eradicate bad practice and overcharging in the mould asessment and remediation industry for homes. They are usually able to recommend a professional who will efficiently advise the housholder.
ISSE is a professional institute approved by UK Secretary of State and is a full member of the Construction Industry Council (CIC), both achievements require the highest standards of practice.
Facebook community progress
We have launched a major project to engage patients using the facilities available on Facebook. We have over 123 members and 'Friends' .
Reaching new people is of fundamental importance to our need to reach people who may be living with aspergillosis and not be supported or even diagnosed correctly.
Patient's Own Stories
So far we have collected 50 stories (64 members) which are being updated regularly, written by patients directly into the 'wiki' website at Patients with Aspergillosis. Our pages were read by an average of 30 people per day in June. More stories needed!
Another of our patients has taken up the mantle of authorship this month. Michael Chapman has written a book based on his life with aspergillosis visiting hospital many times entitled 'A Fly on the Ward'. In the book he tries to takes a lighter look at life as a chronic patient. A proportion of sales will be donated to the Fungal Research Trust
Also available at £1.94 on Amazon The Lady with the Aspergillus by Julie Michael is available as an ebook and readable on PC/Mac/Phone with downloaded software, and of course on Kindle. All profits go to the Fungal Research Trust.
Information Leaflets
Allergy UK have also recently updated an information leaflet on allergy to mould which is very good: Mould Allergy Advice
Travelling with Aspergillosis
At this time of year many people start to plan for holidays. People living with aspergillosis and those with severe asthma have a lot in common so there is a lot of useful advice here: http://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/advice/advice-for-travellers/asthma.aspx
Aspergillosis Patients Meeting
The theme for this month's talk was on how to stop smoking. A high proportion of people living with aspergillosis are known to smoke cigarettes and we know that the damage caused by the habit leaves everyone more vulnerable to lung infections, so there is a good probability that smoking has contributed to aspergillosis in some cases.
It is also beneficial if you already have chronic aspergillosis to give up smoking as cigarette smoke is known to switch off some of the mechanisms our lungs have (cilia) to remove dust from our lungs, including allergens and fungal spores. This is one reason why smokers cough - they accumulate lots of debris in their lungs.
The good news is that once you quit smoking the cilia can regrow and start working again - so you get double the benefit as you have stopped breathing in toxins and your lungs start to work to remove dust again - in fact this can cause people who have recently quit smoking to cough even more at first! Unfortunately smoking in the longer term still causes damage to other organs and makes you more susceptible to many different types of cancer - these effects are not reversible.
Our speaker was one of our Smoking Cessation spelialist nurses at UHSM, Cheryl Pearse.

Making Sense of Mycotoxins For years, researchers, scientists, and veterinarians have advised horse owners to be cautious and aware of mycotoxins in horse feeds, forages, and pastures. And while these tiny toxins can cause serious illnesses in horses, they can also be difficult for owners to understand.
At the 2012 Kentucky Equine Research Conference, held May 17-18 in Lexington, Ky., Ramesh C. Gupta, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ABT, professor and head of the toxicology department at Murray State University's Breathitt Veterinary Center, in Hopkinsville, Ky., gave an overview of mycotoxins that affect horses and the clinical signs, diagnostics, and treatments associated with mycotoxicosis.

As a church community, we were able to celebrate as hundreds of people choose to be baptized.
Here are some of their stories:
I brought my family to the 11am service. I actually conned them a little, by asking them to come because I was on stage, singing in the choir. My dad was not supposed to be there because He hosts a radio show on Sunday mornings. But to my surprise, he moved everything around to see me on stage. None of us know what God had planned for him. My dad accepted Jesus for the first time yesterday and was the last person to be baptized on Easter. God works miracles all around us. Praise Jesus!
Benton grew up in church but decided to leave because: it was cool to be skeptical and it was NOT cool to be a Christian. He became an Atheist, and spent 11 years of his life believing God wasn't real. In the months leading up to Easter, God had been revealing Himself to Benton. He even began to have dreams from the Lord. 4 days before Easter, someone gave him a Bible and he began to read it. He went online and googled Christianity, trying to figure anything and everything out that he could. On Easter Sunday, he experienced God and knew He was real. He rededicated his life to Christ and was baptized.
I had been baptized before but as a young child so I wasn't completely sure what I was doing. This past year was on the worst years of my life. I have been a strong follower of Christ my whole life but the past year I spent just walking away from him and really committing every sin in the Bible (besides murder). This past summer, I started making my way back, and it was a real challenge for me because I knew everyone in my life forgave me, and God forgave me, but I did not forgive myself.
At Hume Lake I wanted to get baptized really badly cause I thought it was the closure for me, but I was not able to get baptized. I thought I would never be able to forgive myself. But I have spent the past 8 months on fire for the Lord and really just growing into a stronger follower. I had the opportunity to be vulnerable with all the girls in my youth group and share my dark past with them. After that I felt so raw but the girls just took me in and loved on me, and even told me that my story changed their lives. After I had started sharing more and even got a chance to speak on a very touchy subject, I finally began to forgive myself.
Being baptized on Easter was amazing because it was truly a declaration of my life being made new!
Conrad watched his sister get baptized on Easter 2 years prior, but he didn't know if he was ready for it himself. He had gone to church a few times with his sister, but in general he has been putting it off as much as he could. He saw the joy it brought his sister, and he was compelled to give Easter a try. When the teacher mentioned that each person is created with a hole in their heart that is only meant to be filled by God, he knew that was exactly for him. He had been trying to fill his heart with all sorts of things – but not God. He decided to be dedicate his life to Christ and was baptized. Since then, he's felt more whole than ever before.
Yesterday was incredible! We had 4 girls [from our community] come and they brought 13 additional family members and 6 children/babies. It was such an honor to baptize one of the teen moms, Kelly, alongside of Andrew Schey. She is 16 and has a 6 week old baby. Just a few weeks ago she was sitting in the backseat of my car with her baby and started crying and telling me she didn't want to be a mom anymore. It was so neat to see God reaching out and meeting her when she needs it most.
The other gal, Isabel, is a friend of mine from college. I have been praying her for years and it was amazing to have her there and see her make that decision. She was really impacted by Becky's story and could relate to it a great deal. What an incredible God we serve that would use us as vessels for His work.
I was baptized as a baby. Because of that, I never thought about being baptized again until I started studying baptism with a friend I met from school. It was somewhat a spontaneous decision, but I wanted to make my faith my own and be baptized since I am older and understand the significance of baptism.
In 2011 we decided to go to RHHB one Sunday and we loved it. We fell in love with the HB community. Our daughter Maria start to get more interested in Jesus and her teachers told us how eager Maria was about Jesus. On "Easter Sunday" we had to bring her with us to sit in the Pacific Amphitheatre. This was her first time enjoying the service with us and I was nervous about her reaction. When it came time for baptisms, she looked at me, singing beautifully, when she looked to me and said "I want to go." God touched her heart and choose that moment for her to be His follower for life. I felt how real is His spirit is through seeing my daughter encounter Him!
There are dozens of stories to be told that point to the ways that Heaven crashed into people's lives on Easter Sunday. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the week.

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) - The Marine Corps' top general said Wednesday the deadly Beirut barracks bombing 30 years ago helped define the start of America's war against terrorists.
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos, survivors and friends gathered at a memorial bordering Camp Lejeune that honors the victims of the bombing Oct. 23, 1983. Before Sept. 11, it was the deadliest terrorist attack on Americans.
Many of the 241 Americans killed were members of Camp Lejeune's 24th Marine Amphibious Unit. Soldiers and sailors were also among the dead. A terrorist attack the same day against French peacekeepers in Lebanon's capital city killed 58.
In the barracks attack, a suicide bomber drove a truck full of explosives into the military barracks. That attack and one on the U.S. Embassy in Beirut six months earlier that killed 52 signaled the start of a new kind of war, Amos said.
"The nation was not expecting this. There was a new kind of warfare - the threat of radical extremists being able to target military and civilian personnel with weapons of mass destruction for political, religious and personal gains. It was a new way to attack the West," Amos told hundreds of people. "We will never forgive nor will we ever forget."
American, French, British and Italian troops had been deployed to Lebanon to try stabilizing the country bloodied by a civil war between Christians allied with Israel and Muslims.
President Ronald Reagan ordered the battleship USS New Jersey, stationed off the Lebanese coast, to bombard the hills near Beirut in retaliation. Months later, the Marines were ordered out of Lebanon.
A U.S. investigation found the barracks bombing occurred because of lax security.
The bombing was blamed on the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran. A U.S. judge has ordered Iran to pay more than $7 billion to the families of victims, who continue trying to collect from Iranian assets in the United States frozen or hidden for decades.
Hours before the commemoration, Ed Ayers, of Scranton, Pa., visited the memorial for his own reflection. The wall is etched with the names of the dead and the words "They Came in Peace."
He said he served in Beirut before his unit was replaced by the troops who were attacked. Ayers said he still believes the sacrifice was worthwhile, though the Middle East remains wracked by bloody strife.
"I think this is something we're going to see for quite a long time," said Ayers, 54. "It's a shame. I don't think we're the world's police. We should determine what our own values are."
Dale Garner was asleep in his bunk when the barracks building "went from a four-story building to a 25-foot pile of rubble." Of the 15 men in the room, he was the sole survivor. Garner was medically retired from the Marines a year after the blast.
"Was it worth it?" said the 51-year-old Palatka, Fla., man. "No. A lot of men lost that day. A lot of good friends, a lot of brothers."
As he looks at the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, he doubts there can be peaceful coexistence "with someone who theoretically hates you."
"We may go in peace," Garner said. "We're not accepted in peace. They don't like us."

Breast removal surgery - discharge; Subcutaneous mastectomy - discharge; Total mastectomy - discharge; Simple mastectomy - discharge; Modified radical mastectomy - discharge
You had a mastectomy, the surgical removal of the entire breast. This surgery was done to treat or prevent breast cancer. Your procedure was one of these:
You may have also had breast reconstruction surgery with implants or natural tissue.
Full recovery may take 4 to 8 weeks. You may have shoulder, chest, and arm stiffness. This stiffness gets better over time and can be helped with physical therapy.
You may have swelling in the arm on the side of your surgery. This swelling is called lymphedema. The swelling usually occurs much later and it can be a problem that lasts. It can also be treated with physical therapy.
You may go home with drains in your chest to remove extra fluid. Your surgeon will decide when to remove these drains, usually in a week or two.
You may need time to adjust to losing your breast. Talking to other women who have had mastectomies can help you deal with these feelings. Ask your health care provider about local support groups. A mental health care provider can help as well.
When sitting, keep your arm on the side of your surgery up as high as your heart. Doing so helps prevent swelling. If swelling in your arm does not go away, talk to your doctor.
It is okay to use your arm on the side of your surgery. But do not overdo it until sutures (stitches) or staples and all drains are removed, and you have seen your surgeon.
Ask your surgeon when you can return to work. When and what you can do may vary, depending on the work you do and whether you also had a lymph node dissection.
Wearing a loose-fitting bra may be more comfortable.
You may still have drains in your chest when you go home from the hospital. You will need to empty and measure how much fluid drains from them.
Stitches are often placed under the skin and dissolve on their own. If your surgeon uses clips, you will go back to the doctor to have them removed. This usually takes place 7 to 10 days after surgery.
Care for your wound as instructed. Instructions may include:
Your surgeon will give you a prescription for pain medicines. Get it filled right away so you have it available when you go home. Remember to take your pain medicine before your pain becomes too bad.
Try using an ice pack on your chest and armpit if you have pain or swelling. Do this only if your surgeon says it is okay. Wrap the ice pack in a towel before applying it. This prevents cold injury of your skin. Do not use the ice pack for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Your surgeon will tell you when you need to have your next visit. You may also need appointments to talk about more treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation.

Happy Friday my friends! It's time for another yummy Tailgate recipe. We have enjoyed Naked Wings with Three Sauces, Homemade Pizza Pockets, Barbecue Pork Sliders, Queso Dip and Pico de Gallo.
Today we have these cute little Football Shaped Sandwiches! Who doesn't love a good sandwich to snack on before the big game? They can be made up ahead or assembled at the game, easy to transport and the ideas are endless for fillings.
We started with a loaf of Pumpernickel. Walmart has a relatively new division called Marketside and we love it! Their breads are great, we especially like the soft Garlic Breadsticks. On a recent trip to Walmart headquarters, I had the opportunity to try some of the breads that will be offered closer to the Holidays, Cranberry Walnut, Chocolate and others. The prices are great too. Yes you can make your own at home, which is typically the more budget friendly way, but for only around $2 a loaf, sometimes you can't even buy the ingredients for that.
Anyway…back to our Football Sandwiches…
Slice the bread on an angle, then using a Football shaped cookie cutter, simply cut of the sandwiches. I didn't have a Football cookie cutter, so I just used a large round cutter and formed it like a Football. Tip: use the leftover scraps to make croutons, they go great on salads.
We had some leftover chicken from the Beer Can Chicken we made earlier in the week, so Doug cut up the chicken and I whipped up a simple Chicken Salad by adding some green onions, celery and chopped apple, a little Hellmann's and some salt and pepper to taste.
We also used thinly sliced Pastrami and Provolone Cheese, but of course, your favorite lunchmeat would be great too. Add a little spicy brown mustard to each of the sandwiches.

NEW YORK, September 23, 2013 — During a roundtable discussion over at the BBC, a woman from Sweden, or perhaps it was Germany, rose up to declare that Sweden, or Germany, lacked a definitive homegrown culture. Therefore, she said, we must import more people from Muslim countries in order to adopt their heritage.
This woman's prayers have already been answered. Mosques are quickly replacing Europe's synagogues and churches.
SEE RELATED: Engelhard's guide to writing for a world gone berserk
Ditto the United States. Somalis have been arriving here by the thousands and wherever they go, they change our culture, for the better, to be sure.
True, they have already changed the face of Kenya, given today's terrorism attack. But that is the exception.
It cannot happen here. Certainly not!
As do people from other Muslim countries that come here to share their wonderful culture, Somalis drive our cabs and run many of our shops.

Many do not speak English and there is no problem with this. This is America. You can do whatever you want.
Fortunately for us, Muslims come here at a rate of about two million a year, from Somalia and elsewhere. As they are doing in Sweden and Germany and Norway and France and in all parts of Europe, Muslims bring to the United States their own special brand of justice. We can and should learn from them. We are tired of Judeo/Christian leniencies.
Sharia law, for example, demands that a wife obey her husband. If she does not, she is to be beaten and lashed. Now would be a good time to adopt this custom.
In many of our small towns, gone is mailman who knew your name and you may order your coffee and donut in English, but you will be responded to in Arabic. You could wake up one morning and find that nobody knows your name, even in the same city where you have lived for a hundred years. All this is happening fast, this transition of a Judeo/Christian civilization onto something else entirely.
SEE RELATED: Economic Warfare: Jihad by forest fire
In parts of Northeast Philadelphia – rather in parts all over America – all signs are in Arabic. This warms the heart of any visitor.
More on this, in some detail, from a very fine article posted in Family Matters.
A new culture has taken root – and all this is to the good. We welcome our Muslim neighbors, the more the better.
Or as the lady said, we can never have enough of the benefits that Islam has to offer.
The polio vaccine, for example, which has saved literally billions of lives, was first developed by the Muslim scientist, Dr. Jonas Salk. (Or perhaps he was Jewish?)
In any case, we are grateful as more of our small towns and big cities lose their identities, their steeples in favor of minarets.
This too is happening fast and for this too we are grateful.
Islam has come to town and we are so much better off for his, and we owe much of our good luck to immigration policies brought forth by Obama and the Clintons.
According to a June 3, 2009 report from Media Matters, Obama said in an interview he gave French television's Canal Plus: "If you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."
So the rest of us are not as special as we thought — and forget the Founding Fathers and our Constitution that was based exclusively on Jewish and Christian law.
Sinatra's "House I live in" is being replaced right in front of our eyes by a culture that by its own admission is all about love and tolerance.
There are exceptions, of course. We have suffered Islam's wrath in New York, Fort Hood, Boston and in fact, Wikipedia and other sources list more than 500 acts of major terrorism onward from 1970 all from the hand of Islam – including today's massacre in Kenya, plus the massacre, also today, against Christians in Pakistan, and also the murders against Jews in Israel.
But why quibble? We should rejoice that we live in a country that is America – or once was America.

Jessica Simpson paraded her large breasts around New York yesterday and what the-? Does anyone remember them having that many veins? Seriously, what's up that? They look like the head of one those aliens with the pulsating brain. If this is some sort of invasion, all I'm saying is, who wants nuclear codes in exchange for lap dances? Don't be shy.
Jessica Simpson's breasts are still huge. Ohthankgod.
Fish–no kidding, man! Yuck
veins mcblue
Big, veiny boobs are a sign of pregnancy….
In the words of Raddimus from "Waiting". "It's so veiny!"
Anyone posting after me drinks from Tony Homo's sweaty jockstrap
That's what happens with big boobs. Bleh! My B rules.
to #3: they're also a sign of big natural breasts. some dreaming about what's going down in her vag.
to #5: gladly.
to #3: they're also a sign of big natural breasts. stop dreaming about what's going down in her vag.
to #5: gladly.
Her last colorist was male & NOT gay because he missed her black roots- staring down at them tee-otties!
You homos are crazy. J. Simp might be dumber than a box of rocks but her body is smokin'. I'd do her until she couldn't see straight.
veiny boobs are also a common among those known to have "fat boobs" which are basically boobs that have grown in size due to excessive weight gain
Goodness, gracious, those are monstrous. This chick went from beyond bangable, to feeling sorry for her, to somewhere in between. She is as dumb as dirt, but you Romo motorboats the hell out of those.
The Rake
Her body moved veins from her brain to her breasts – thereby ensuring her most overused part is getting blood, while her most underused part can just sit and hibernate.
Those are some of the nicest biggest breasts I have ever seen in my whole life. I think they might even be bigger than Nancy Pelosi's humongous tits. Bigger than Slama Hyek's fake plastic rack. Someone should film Jessica doing jumping jacks. Imagine the seismic shock those huge natural funbags would create.
I want to milk her.
"You're so vein……"
Meh, they're not that bad actually. I've always liked her breasts.
Class: Those are what REAL breasts look like. Now, I know it's strange to a lot of you… but… real breasts ARE better than plastic. Say it with me… "…Megan Foxx is fake… I refuse to drool over plastic bags…"
Accept no substitute!
Veins are normal, she's just not airbrushed right now.
Actually Jess got breast implants after she lost a lot of weight for Daisy Duke and her boobs drooped. She should have just waited to gain the weight again and her boobs would have been perky again.
lol I think Joe hire a good stylist,,,you suckers are so picky,,,gimme those veiny mams rough night long….
Hey at least they're not stretch marks.
I would kill for boobs like that. BTW she's had implants. They just fluctuate with her weight.
I meant she has NOT had implants.
She hardly ever needed them but seriously when have her breasts ever looked fake?
uh-oh, when non-veiny boobs turn veiny it's a sign of baby on board. She should have stuck to anal only.
uhhh,I think Joe hire a good stylist,,,you suckers are so picky.
May every Jack ha his Jill. Still Don't have a date?
BlackWhiteconnect-There are Over millions of profiles from all over the world!
You can get their pictures, phone numbers, locations, and almost any information.
Everything is FREE! Don't forget to tell your friends!
Those look like pregnancy veins, not fatty veins, but who knows.
@14, Good Lord, i can never look past Pelosi's gaping hole of a gargoyle mouth to notice she even has tits… and i don't think Selma Hayek's tits are fake.
I dont like the big blue vein… But motorboat!
Anyone here who thinks her dad will try to blame Tony Romo for knocking her up? I say he proudly takes full credit.
Anyone posting in spot #5 licks Warren Sapp's black applesack clean after workout!
LOL @ anyone saying her boobs are fake. LOL @ anyone saying her boobs are veiny due to pregnancy. LOL @ anyone insisting that boobs get veiny due to weight gain. Some of you people are complete DUMBASSES. She has big boobs. She's always had big boobs. They are not fake, she is just blessed (at least in the boob department). ALSO, she has always had veiny boobs. I've always noticed it, but WHO CARES? They are lovely! You people just never noticed the veins before because she was skinnier and you were too busy trying to hide your BONERS from your obese and pasty wife sitting next to you. The end.
Agreed #29.
Though she really fell off in the looks department. She used to have such a body and pretty face then she started fucking with and injecting her lips to to make the fuller now she looks like a baboons ass.
She fell off hard! She use to be hot now shes not. Nick Lachey used her up, he was tapping that ass everyday even when she didn't want it. Now Tony has the used up less hot version.
Maybe the veins wouldn't be so visible if she'd just let those things out. Looks like that dress is smashing those things back into her head.
A couple of years back i used to think that Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson were very much alike.
@33 Their looks or IQ? Or maybe both?
#23, 25 You guys and other have been screaming "baby" for months now. Her boobs looked like this back in February – and pics # 5,6,7 etc is NOT what a 5 months (minimum) belly looks like. Some women, implants or not, with big boobs have veins close to the surface – in movies they're covered by makeup, in pictures they're airbrushed out.
It's called the circulatory system. Get the fuck over it.
Jessica Simpson is seriously gorgeous from head to toe. Damn.
Please Tony – let me handle the snaps on her chest .
Ah, the internal mammary arteries.
Nice breasts.
Zero ass.
Big fucking deal, breasts have veins. If that bothers you, I suggest you start saving up for a RealDoll.
WTF??? Where her butt go. She got hit from behind by a Mack truck or something?
#39 As opposed to the external ones? P.S. Breasts don't have arteries.
disconcerting what turns people off now a days.
It's a human body. it's going to have LIKE, omg, veins and shit to keep it working.
Pretty soon though, everything will be homogenized and like walking photoshop. People with imperfections will be Taboo. SO DONT YOU WORRY, in fifty years or so we'll all look like porn stars!
@43 Although I'm no doctor, breasts better have arteries or they would no blood supply and would shrivel up and die….
Take it from a mother of three – big veiny breasts mean you're pregnant.
#45 But do you play one on TV? You're not wrong. Breasts have a very rich vascular supply which is why they're able to undergo reduction and other surgeries so well. They derive that blood supply from some 3 or 4 major arteries. Arterial systems are deep and thick-walled, not close to the surface and visible – I think this is what #43 means. Thinner arterioles are what branch off of those. Vessels like the axillary vein and its branches are thinner walled and more visible. Bet you're glad you asked, huh? ;D
#46 Take it from a mother of none, you're wrong. A positive pregnancy test means you're pregant – things like this differ from women to woman. I have the same size tits she has, I have the same fair skin and figure type, and I've always had really visible veins since high school and no kids have ever showed up. Besides someone said, they looked like this back in February. She'd be showing by now if she was preggers.
After all these years, to whom I'd still make insane unbridled love and never marry.
Some of the best tits in the biz. Always have been.
Her belly and upper legs are HUGE too, folks!!


text: Personal Relationships Policy Number: HR-5 Effective Date: October 1, 2003 Revisions: September 2007 Responsible Officer: Senior Vice President of Student Life & Administrative Services I. POLICY Certain relationships may arise in the work and educational environment that have the potential for compromising or appearing to compromise the fairness and objectivity of a supervisor, faculty member or caregiver in relation to subordinates, students or patients and which may result in a conflict of interest. The University recognizes that all individuals are entitled to freely choose their personal associations and relationships. However, when an employee (faculty or professional staff), enters into a romantic and/or sexual relationship with a student, a fellow employee, or patient, a power differential may exist which can compromise an individual's exercise of such choice in personal relationships. Others may also perceive such a relationship as one of preferential treatment that may be detrimental to themselves or others. Consequently, romantic and/or sexual relationships among employees, patients and students – even though consensual – are discouraged. If such relationships are entered into, they should be approached in a sensitive manner and with an understanding of how they may be perceived by others. Similarly, relationships among individuals on the same level, where there is no component of authority by one individual over another, may be misinterpreted by others and should be approached in a sensitive manner. II. SEXUAL HARASSMENT CHARGE When the facts establish that a faculty-student, professional staff-student, or supervisor-subordinate power differential existed within the relationship and there is a complaint of sexual harassment, mutual consent may not be an adequate or acceptable defense. If there is disagreement as to whether behavior was affirmatively consensual between the involved individuals, the burden will be on the individual against whom the charge or complaint is made to prove mutual consent. III. REQUIRED REPORTING If an employee is engaged in a romantic and/or sexual relationship with a subordinate or student, the employee is required to disclose the relationship immediately and the two individuals need to be separated (physically or organizationally), so that one does not have any direct or indirect responsibility, authority or control, real or perceived, over the other. Any and all steps taken to eliminate any real or potential authority or control one employee has over the other must be set forth in writing by the applicable senior administrator and filed in the employees' personnel files. Inquiries regarding this policy can be directed to the Human Resources Department.

Nevada: Prisms & Perspectives
Welcome to Nevada: Prisms & Perspectives, the latest version of the Nevada Historical Society's museum gallery in the Wilbur S. Shepperson Gallery. Nevada: Prisms & Perspectives utilizes the Historical Society's extensive collections of artifacts, photographs, documents and maps to tell five crucial stories about life in the Silver State. Each story is complete in itself, but all five-- "Living on the Land," "Riches from the Earth," "Passing Through," "Neon Nights," and "Federal Presence"--are intimately related to each other. In the Shepperson Gallery we have included some of the jewels of the collection to tell these stories. Please join us in experiencing Nevada's fascinating heritage.
The Society has a permanent gallery dedicated to Reno's history.
Living on the Land
Although the land of the eastern Sierra Nevada and the Great Basin appears to be a hard place, people have been taking their living from the land here for over 10,000 years. From the earliest times, Native Nevadans learned to live lightly on the land, taking only what they needed. About 1,000 years ago, the Anazazi built adobe towns and farmed the rich bottom lands of the Virginia and Muddy river valleys, until they moved on to the south and east, likely as the ancestors of the modern Hopi and Zuñi. More recently, four major groups have occupied what is now Nevada. The Washoe are in the corner around Lake Tahoe, the center of their spiritual world. The Northern Paiute range stretches into what is now Oregon and Idaho, and to the southwest toward the Owens Valley. To the east, the Western Shoshone fill the middle section, and the Southern Paiute range includes parts of Nevada and Utah.
When Euroamericans, white people, began arriving in the Great Basin in the 1820s, they first sought wealth in the form of beaver pelts to be used in the making of fashionable hats. As some came to stay, they turned to farming and ranching. By the last part of the century, traditional Native American life was no longer possible in Nevada, and many of the state's indigenous inhabitants turned to the new ranches and towns for jobs. Some women adapted ancient arts to new markets. Most notable of these was the Washoe basketmaker Dat-so-la-lee. Today ranching and farming continue to prosper in Nevada. Although most of the Silver State's towns were founded to support mining or transportation, some have always been agricultural centers as well. Today, in addition to dairy and meat and wool, Nevada's ranchers and farmers produce alfalfa, garlic, potatoes and onions.
Riches from the Earth
The Great Basin has been the source of fabulous mineral wealth for thousands of years. From the earliest times Native Nevadans mined salt and turquoise. More recently, prospectors and soldiers heading back east from the Mexican-American War and the first wave of the California Gold Rush found traces of the yellow metal in streams on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. Real excitement began in 1859, when placer miners panning the streams of Gold Canyon in the Virginia Mountains discovered that the blue clay that had been seen as a nuisance was really remarkably rich silver ore.
The "Rush to Washoe" brought thousands of '49ers flocking in the renewed hope of finding their fortunes. Mining in Nevada was different than in California, and it soon became apparent that large amounts of capital and new technology were going to be needed to extract the silver from the Comstock Lode. New cities--Virginia City, Gold Hill, Silver City--were built to house, feed, and entertain the thousands of miners and their families who came to work in the mines. Owners and speculators got rich, everyone else worked for wages, good wages of $4 per day, but wages, nonetheless.
Mining brought modern American civilization to Nevada. Comstock Lode silver and gold built the stock exchange in San Francisco, helped pay for the Civil War, and fostered statehood for Nevada. All over the state--from Treasure Hill to Eureka to Austin to Belmont to Candelaria to Columbia to El Dorado Canyon--mining camps boomed, grew into instant cities, and then went bust, sometimes in the space of a few months. Men and women from all the continents of the earth came to make their fortunes; the fortunate made a living. With easy access to wealth, railroads and the telegraph, they could be part of the nation and acquire all of the new products that were coming from industrial America. It did not last, however. For over twenty years, there was nothing, the people left, and the state almost blew away.
In 1902 Tonopah in central Nevada suddenly boomed, followed in a few years by the even more fabulous Goldfield. About the same time, large-scale copper mining started in White Pine County. Since then, mining has continued to be an important element in Nevada's economy. Today the Silver State is the largest gold-producer in the nation, and many industrial minerals are pulled from the earth.
Passing Through
People have been getting across what is now Nevada, on their way to somewhere else, for decades. Interstate 80, in fact, which is just about a mile south of here, is the latest version of U.S. 40, which was the Victory Highway, which was built along the route of the Central Pacific end of the transcontinental railroad, which was laid along the path of the old wagon road the Donner Party took to get to California, which was also the route into the Sierra Nevada which took John C. Frémont and his party to Lake Tahoe, which was the path the Washoes used to move into the mountains from the north for the summer season. East of Reno and the Forty-Mile Desert, this modern superhighway follows the old Humboldt River route that brought so many pioneers to the Far West.
Nevada has been on the way to somewhere else for thousands of years. For most of that time, people walked on their own two feet to pass through. In the second quarter of the nineteenth century, however, Euroamericans (white people from east of the Mississippi River and south of the Colorado River) came in on horseback, using horses, mules and oxen to haul wagons. With the introduction of wheeled vehicles, it became necessary to lay out and maintain roads, not just trails. Freight and stage coach lines grew up in the 1860s to service the many mining camps that were spread across the Great Basin.
In 1867 the Central Pacific Railroad laid the first track, down from the Sierra Nevada into the Truckee Meadows, on the way to linking the transcontinental railway with the Union Pacific at Promontory Point in Utah in 1869. It was not long before a number of short-line railroads, including the Virginia and Truckee and the Carson and Colorado, were built to link various towns in Nevada with the main line. By the 1880s, bicycling was on its way to becoming a national craze, and the first true highways were laid out to provide safe cycling. The new mining camps of Tonopah and Goldfield, shortly after the turn of the twentieth century, benefitted from a growing number of automobiles, which in turn opened up the tourism market for Nevada after the end of World War II. In the 1920s the federal government pioneered air mail routes across Nevada, and commercial aviation eventually grew to be a giant.
Neon Nights
Nevada is known around the world as a land of enchantment, offering fun, food, and instant fortune. It's the place to go to do things you shouldn't do at home. And that doesn't mean just gambling. The Corbett-Fitzsimmons championship boxing match in 1897 was the first time Nevada attracted national attention for allowing an event that was illegal everywhere else. About the same time, the state's liberal residency laws (six weeks eventually) began attracting the attention of unhappy husbands and wives, who began to make the trek to Nevada for "Renovation," easy divorce, and sometimes, a quick marriage. Hotels, dude ranches, boarding houses, casinos, bars and restaurants met the challenge of increased traffic through the 1920s. Casino gambling was sanctioned by the legislature in 1931 as a business move, designed to protect and bolster the tourist trade in the face of the Depression.
The early casinos in both Reno and Las Vegas were dark and smoky dives where no good woman would be seen. As soldiers and sailors came through Nevada on the way to the Pacific Coast during World War II, a new prosperity hit the clubs and they began to expand and improve. With the wildcat growth of California after the war, the markets north and south all took off and the clubs went right along. In Reno that meant bigger and better, with expansion soon coming on the south shore of nearby Lake Tahoe. In Las Vegas the new clubs were built out of the downtown, on the Los Angeles highway, which became the "Strip." The old "sawdust joints" gave way to luxury resorts built by California's hottest architects and displaying the most fantastic themes.

Federal Presence
Although Nevada is the seventh largest state in the Union, the federal government owns 87 percent of the land. That simple fact has made the Federal Presence central to the development of the Silver State in the twentieth century. Federal water reclamation programs had their start with the Newlands Project in 1902, which took water from the Carson and Truckee rivers to make the desert around Fallon bloom. The fact that the Paiute fishery at Pyramid Lake was hurt in the process has led to the longest-running federal law suit in history, still unresolved. The construction of Hoover Dam (1931-1935) on the Colorado River brought abundant water and electrical power to Clark County in the south and sparked the transformation of Las Vegas from a division point on the railroad into a vast playground for adults and one of the fastest growing cities in the country.
With World War II came thousands of men and women in the military services, passing through and staying to work in defense industries. Huge military bases sprouted up throughout the state. After the war, the testing of nuclear bombs spurred further growth. Even today, after the testing has ended, Nevada is facing federal pressure to become the storehouse for the nation's nuclear waste. Not only is the federal government the main landlord in Nevada, federal policies and actions have had a great impact on the Silver State's growth and development.

My dad and Sallie sent me Omaha steaks for my birthday, which Mark really appreciated. And I did too. But when I got the package, I was most excited about the dry ice inside.
Oh, this will be a fun thing for Zoe to see, I thought.
But where could I put it?
I had just cleaned the downstairs bathroom that morning. Perfect, I decided. I'd put it in the toilet. Because, you know. That made sense. In my head.
After telling this story a few times, I've found every guy gasps in understanding of where this story is going at this point. While all the women say something along the lines of: "So?"
So. It was great. Here's proof:
OK. It's a boring picture. Of my daughter looking at a toilet. But there's dry ice in there.
Anyway, Zoe enjoyed watching the dry ice create pillows of steam and I showed her how it billowed up when you poured more water in it. Etc. You know, 10 minutes of keeping her occupied. Success.
But then. But then I realized that what had been water in the toilet bowl had turned to solid ice. Oops. I thought, hope that doesn't cause a problem.
But I poured hot water over it and it melted. No issues.
Mark got home and I told him about the steaks and the dry ice fun we had. He gasped. He told me I was lucky the toilet hadn't cracked. Oh geez, I said. I wondered about that when the water froze. He rolled his eyes, the equivalent of telling me that I don't deserve to eat
his my Omaha steaks.
A few days later Mark used the downstairs toilet. When he came out, he said water was leaking from underneath. "I wonder what happened?" he said. The thing is is HE WAS SERIOUS. HE FORGOT. I DIDNT HAVE TO 'FESS UP.
But I did.
I called the plumber. I explained on the phone what I did. The person on the other end didn't react, but I'm sure as soon as we got off there was lots of guffaws around the plumber office about dumb non-plumbers of the female persuasion. Whatever. Get a belt.
Anyway, the toilet was leaking out the bottom where a seal had been ruined, the plumber explained to me in exhaustive detail. Well, that's good, I thought as he kept talking about seals and glue and even floors and God knows what else. At least we won't need a new toilet.
While he talked I took a picture of his work for Mark to see. "This doesn't look good," I wrote in the text.
An hour later the plumber, when trying to put the toilet back together, found a hairline crack all the way down the basin that was wet when he put water in the bowl. So it was leaking. We'd need a whole new toilet, he said. This conversation has been condensed. It took him 15 minutes to tell me that.
So we got a new toilet. Works just the same as the old one. And those steaks? They were great, even considering they turned out to be the most expensive steaks I've ever had.
I learned my lesson. Next time I'll save the dry ice for the punch bowl. And next time I'll hire a less talkative plumber. One who wears a belt.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl Review
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl is a re-imagining of the very first Etrian Odyssey. The difference this time around is that it comes packed with two modes: Story Mode and Classic Mode. An all-new narrative has been woven, complete with voice-acting, anime cutscenes and pre-set characters for this remake.
If you want a traditional Etrian Odyssey experience in which you create a character by choosing from one of the 11 classes available in the game, the Classic Mode is for you. This all might be very familiar though, because it's basically a remake of the original 2007 version of the game. You'll roll through dungeons, fight monsters, collect treasure and do it all in a first-person perspective.
But if you really want to get the most of what Untold has to offer, then you'll dive into the Story Mode, which puts you in the adventuring boots of a Highlander who has been sent to the town of Etria. You're tasked by an organization called the Radha to explore a labyrinth called Gladsheim in the forests.
While you first have to prove yourself in the starting areas of the labyrinth, it's a small task and you're soon given the right to explore further and accept requests from the townspeople. Going back into the labyrinth a few more times in the story leads you to meet up with the people who will make up your party for the duration of the game.
Upon further exploration of the labyrinth lands you in front of a mysterious girl stuck inside a futuristic tube. This is Frederica Irving, the Gunner. She also happens to be the titular Millennium Girl. As you're attacked by a monster, three other strangers jump in to help you fend off the attacker. There's Raquna the Protector, Simon the Medic and Arthur the Alchemist. Your Highlander will spend the entire game with these people, so you'd better learn to love them fast. Thankfully, they're all pretty interesting characters and provide a sense of depth to the story, which is frankly kind of of boring thanks to cliches like Frederica's amnesia or the mysterious force from the past that threatens to destroy the world. There's nothing unique here.
Still, you'll grow attached to these people the more you adventure with them. You might even find yourself overwhelmed with emotions once one goes down in battle. Alright, that probably won't happen, but chances are you'll feel a hint of sadness. After all, Raquna only wanted to strike out on her own and prove that she's worth more than her rich family's name, so it's a shame to see her fail in a fight, right?
Even the peripheral characters are pretty cool, especially thanks to the voice-acting. Characters like Shilleka from the shop in town provide you with much-needed info and goods, all while speaking in very peculiar cadences and accents. I found myself repeatedly going back to these non-player characters often, just to see if they'd say anything new with their interesting voices.
But the heart of Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl is in its dungeon-crawling. I'm a little ashamed to say that this game trucks me hard and punishes me often. But you know what? That's what makes it an amazing role-playing experience. Not only can the difficulty be cripplingly difficult, but it all depends on the choices you make for your party's skills, equipment and position. The dungeons are rough for anyone, but you have to go in with the mindset that it won't be a walk in the proverbial park.
For starters, you have to map out dungeon floors. Failure to do so will get you killed. The easiest way to do this is to take it block by block, carefully drawing out the corridors on the bottom screen of the 3DS and pointing out where stairs, dead ends and gathering spots are located. Luckily for you, really tough monsters (called FOEs) are already pointed out on the map. If you do happen to run into these baddies, be prepared to fight for your life.
It's possible to win these difficult battles, but only by playing a smart game. Do you use your Highlander's skill to take out a whole line of enemies at the cost of his health? Or do you use Raquna's skills to protect your back row of casters from any attacks? Maybe you play it cautiously and have Simon and Frederica prepare some healing spells for the group right before you know a large attack is coming? Making smart decisions on the spots ensures the safety of the group.
But I cannot stress this enough: making it out of the labyrinth alive depends on you mapping out the floors!
For the most part, the gameplay in Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl is pretty much rinse-and-repeat. You'll start off in town by gathering information and supplies, pick up a quest or two and then head into the dungeon. Once in the dungeon, you'll map out new floors, collect items, defeat enemies and then head back into Etria to do it all over again. But the addictive nature of this game lies in this cycle, since you'll be able to do things better and with more experience every subsequent dungeon crawl. You'll watch yourself grow as an adventurer who becomes adept at heading into danger and an expert at drawing up grid-based maps.
The only real downside is the difficulty, which might not be for everyone. But for those looking for a challenge, fun characters and an addictive style of play, Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl delivers on all fronts.
This review is based on a retail copy of Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl for the Nintendo 3DS

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) - A former Fruita man accused of killing a male escort is scheduled to go to trial in January.
The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/136NzCA ) Mesa County District Judge Richard Gurley set Billy Delacey's trial date during a bond hearing Friday. The judge denied the defense's request to reduce Delacey's $1 million cash bond.
Delacey is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, possession of sexually exploitative materials and misdemeanor theft in connection with the July 31, 2011, slaying of 26-year-old Luis "Beto" Oliva.
Defense attorneys say phone records and an interview with Oliva's boyfriend indicate Oliva was not murdered at the time prosecutors say he was. Therefore, they say, their client was not at the apartment at the time of the crime.
Delacey's trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 13.

A magnetic resonance imaging, available in any remote region, every Russian and any income - Public MRI scanner "Unitom"! Preparing mass production of devices.
If you consider that all Russians must pass medical examinations at least once every two years, CT scanners in Russia, the most common estimates, should be at least 10000 pieces.
Make MRIs available for each district hospital in every distant corner of Russia - it is possible today. But not through the purchase of vehicles abroad at fantastic prices. "Screwdriver assembly" of foreign counterparts - not a solution either. On this did not have enough funds or technology to solve the problem of global scale.
The organization of mass production of affordable home scanners, scanners that is the People in Russia - that's the problem. What, then, should these new devices? First of all, it should be imagers that can afford to establish not only the regional and provincial centers, but also small local clinics. In fact, the scanner must be accessible to the population of Russia as a normal x-ray machine. It will raise the early diagnosis of disease to a new level, and mortality from disease is significantly reduced.
This Public MRI scanner Group of Companies was created by experts, "Control" and named "Unitom." Overall, this is the result of 30 years of research in the field of magnetic imaging. A number of original technical solutions protected by 16 patents.
The world's first fully digital magnetic scanner . Suffice it to say that in a second measurement is recorded and processed one billion bits of data in real time. The use of the latest technological advances brought results: obtained image quality is not worse than on costly foreign imagers . Prices of the last times and reach 160 million rubles. The problem of high prices has become known throughout the country thanks to the president's robust language.
This high field magnetic scanner requires a lot of money for their upkeep. Liquid nitrogen and liquid helium needed to operate the scanners using superconducting magnets, virtually inaccessible in remote regions of Russia. Requires a separate discussion of these extremely high energy CT scanners - 60-100 kVA.
Public MRI scanner - scanner "Unitom" - no need for expensive cryogenic materials for his service . He is the most "green" scanner: its power consumption compared to foreign energy high field scanners below 100 (!!!) times. So, scanner can be powered by solar panels, even ! The size of the room where you can set the "Unitom", a fraction of the size of the room required for the traditional foreign MRI. Also, thanks to the many innovative solutions, Public MRI scanner is only 6 million rubles .
If we imagine an analogy from the world of cars, our scanner would be a machine worth 10,000 rubles, and consumes 1,000 kilometers a liter of gasoline. This can really surprise the world.
Detector "Unitom" has successfully passed the clinical and technical tests, has all the necessary permits, has more than one hundred patients in real practice. received 30 000 tomograms . Numerous advantages of the scanner "Unitom" to foreign analogues confirm eminent scientists, doctors, including SB RAS, MSU, MIPT . Applications for the purchase of the imager "Unitom" are derived from more than 40 countries are negotiating co-production with the Public MRI scanner National Research Council of Canada.
Management of our state is looking for projects throughout the country, which could lead Russia to a new level of innovation, as well as create thousands of new jobs in high technology. Here is an example of such a project. The biggest innovation risks we took for himself scanner has been created without the involvement of the budget. Nevertheless, the State constantly spending money to buy scanners abroad, and not to similar projects. Thus, in essence, virtually closing the market for Russian producers. In turn, it is obvious social project. Mass production of high-tech medical equipment in Russia - this is the problem of national significance. However, it is possible to establish a production and, without government support. The only question is when and in what country?
On the basis of "Unitom" we propose to begin mass production of the Public MRI scanner. To achieve this goal and created an open source project "Public MRI scanner." The project is open, as it involves the creation of productive cooperation, which can take part in almost every.
Mass production scanners People will be done by SKD domestic production of components built by Russian companies. In this case, in accordance with which we developed the technology unit will be collected directly at the place designated by the customer. This will involve the production facilities across the country.
In other words, the organization, participating in co-operation to establish the Public MRI scanner will be mass-produce some portion of the apparatus. For this she receives the right to produce a certain amount of self-scanners, of the components of vehicles made by other organizations. Thus, each of the companies involved in co-operation, would be interested in the quality and timely delivery of equipment for the project . If the same firm involved in the project will need to release more CT scanners than is definitely mutual, it can make additional payments under the license agreement and will be able to put on the market as many vehicles as necessary. At the same time MRI scanner in the end need not be identical.
If you want to participate in the project "Public MRI scanner", please contact us at control@ controlgroup. ru We are waiting for suggestions, especially from companies that have experience in:
- release of magnetic materials and systems;
- issue of analog and digital electronics;
- release of large plastic body parts;
- industrial design.

"I thought this was a beautiful experience, and that is just one of many that we have. Personally, I have traveled more than a million miles in the world to divide the gospel of Jesus Christ with my fellow man, but that was the first time I ever delivered a religious address to a congregation seven thousand miles away."
"Short-wave broadcasting will continue to improve, and it will not be long until, from this pulpit and other places that will be provided, the servants of the Lord will be able to deliver messages to isolated groups who are so far away they cannot be reached. In that way and other ways, the gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord, the only power of God unto salvation in preparation for the celestial kingdom, will be heard in all parts of the world, and many of you who are here will live to see that day."

I went on my first run, through Freetown, with Nick, Ben and
Mark, but this was not just any run! We joined a club called the
House Harriers, or HASH, a drinking club with a running problem,
who have been going since 1987, mixing expats and
Freetownians alike.
Now let your imagination take you -picture a group of 60
joggers, combine this with a Hansel and Gretel concept and a rugby
team initiation ceremony, The 'Hares' are released 10 minutes
before the rest of the group, who have to try and catch them, we
follow of trail of paper shavings… be careful not to follow the
wrong route - or the running up a steep Freetownian street will be
wasted. We weaved in and out of hectic traffic, through peoples
yards, hurdling chickens, rubbish, streams and sewers. It was one
unbelievable way to see the real thing… eye opening and not
allowing you to escape the fact that the poverty is rife and
Coming to the end of the race the rain starts to fall, welcome
because the heat, humidity, exertion, and the days sunburn
had left me somewhat crimson . We convene in the courtyard where
announcements and initiations begin, Led by the Grand Leader… each
person wielding a Star beer 'no one ever tastes the same' in a
large circle - call to the Hares, down drinks while we chant the
ritual tune, then, a call to the virgins (1st time Hash
runners) - what's your name, why are you here, who made you come
and are you available? Having answered those questions with cheers
around the group - the 5 of us virgins down our beer to
Sound odd? In the rain, in the dark, in Freetown… we then sing
Swing Low Sweet Chariot, with actions! A couple more beers some
rice and chicken stew. Then realisation… what just happened!?
Tomorrow to Makeni...
