Did you have an MRI to show that it wasn't present? Even if you did, it could be just too small to see.
However, there are some other options that cause high prolactin. Kidney disease, medications, excessive nipple stimulation, etc.
How high is it and what symptoms are you having?
Oct 08, 2009
I still have mildly elevated prolactin levels, even though there is no longer a growth.
It is because of something called stalk effect. Simply put this means that the hormone that is made by the Hypothalamus that is supposed to bring down the prolactin levels is not getting through to the Pituitary gland. This is because the stalk that connects the two glands is bent.
I'm not saying that this is what is going on with you, but it is one thing that can happen with some people. Like others said, it may be a small growth that is just not showing up on the MRIs. I've also heard of prolactinomas being in other places besides the pituitary gland.

To: SarahB79 & Horselip
My MRI showed a small 3mm by 4mm indication on the pituitary. They (Dr. who read MRI) are calling that a normal MRI. Nonetheless, I have been home for over 2mos. trying to get back to normal. My prolactin levels were at 180 when I started feeling sick (extreme dizziness, pressure headaches and earaches, numbness of left side arm & chin). I have had all sorts of blood test drawn checking for thyroid(high), cholesterol(high), lupus & other auto immune disorders(Dr. said I tested positive for lupus but that levels were borderline). At this point...I have been on Meds for all of the above for close to 2mos. Headaches, earaches, extreme dizziness, eye to light sensitivity, numbness (not as often as before...it comes and goes. Dr. suggested I make an appt. w/ neurosurgeon...so I have an appt w/him this Thurs. and now He has ordered a visual field test. I am starting to feel like a walking and talking science experiment. Not sure on what other direction to take other than what dr. orders. Information posted here on Medhelp is so useful and thanks in advance for your responses.
Nov 18, 2009
Ok - the doc that read that as normal should be taken out in the back woods and shot. After you find a new, competent doctor that knows what he/she is doing, then you can be treated.
You do not need a surgeon - you can be treated with medications. Only when medications fail for a prolactinoma or the tumor continues to grow do you look to surgery. There are a few meds to try - did you try both?
Visual fields are standard.
Nov 18, 2009
To your first statement... I agree. I am currently seeing a general doctor, endocrinologist, opthomologist, and NOW as of tomorrow a neurosurgeon. I am still experiencing the symptoms I mentioned in my previous post. Blood work results drawn this week to track my prolactin levels is still not in and visual field test came back normal.
Yes I have taken both medications and I am currently taking Bromocriptine 2.5mg (one pill a day). I have been on this for almost two months now...and the symptoms are still present. I feel like my head weighs a TON and the pressure on my ears and back of the head are too much. The dizziness I experience is just a bonus. I have tried pain killers...and they are NOT effective. A friend of mine also suggested a chiropractor to make sure I don't have a pinched nerve?
Something is wrong w/ me... and I can't seem to get any answers... just more tests and more Dr.'s to see.
The appt. w/ Neurosurgeon is tomorrow. I am taking MRI pictures and results, previous blood work results, endocrinologist and opthomologist reports w/ me. I am hoping he can shed some light on my situation, if not that, then refer me to a competent doctor who can help me.
I have been getting more insight here on MEDHELP that any Dr. I have seen in the past couple of months.
Thanks for your insight...and wish me luck.
Nov 19, 2009
I wish you luck - and instead of bromo, maybe some will start you one the dostinex. Or I guess you already tried it.
Also, make sure other hormones are checked. PRL alone (as it is a common pit tumor) is easy for them to check, but other stuff may be off.
Nov 25, 2009
dostinex works great for me... I have some dizziness and nausea the day after I take it, but overall it has kept my prolactin levels well with in normal range and it seems like the tumor is not growing. (MRI's have not shown much).
I have been on Dostinex for over a year and still have weight gain and some of the symptoms before. Fertility has not returned either. But periods are normal. When the pituitary gland is effected the rest of your endocrine system can get wacked out too... have your endocrinologist run tests for adrenal, testosterone, diabetes and thyroid periodically.

To: Rumpled & SarahB79
On my visit to neurosurgeon it was discovered that my tumor hemorraged. The MRI pictures showed this... Luckily enough for me the hemorrage that occurred was not large enough to affect optical nerves or anything else for that matter. To avoid any future hemorraging and because medicine was discontinued for a year (this was when Tumor was "gone")... I have to have surgery to remove Tumor. The surgery is scheduled for the 14th of December. Do not know what to expect YET... So I'm pretty scared.
Nov 27, 2009
I had the surgery - while no surgery is *fun*, of my 12, it was not my worst. Prepare ahead of time so you don't have to bend over - put stuff you think you will need above waist level. Slip on shoes etc. I felt much better after surgery.
Make sure your surgeon has done bunches of times - like over 500 - and you should be fine.Endoscopic is better than microscopic - surgeon has better view.
Nov 28, 2009
Thanks rumpled. The surgery itself is only 11/2 to 21/2hrs long (not bad). Not sure about Micro or Endoscopic. I will ask. They will be going through my upper lip, Dr said "no scarring"...yey!! Thanks for your helpful insights. How long did it take you to recover? Was there anything Dr. Asked you not to do?
Nov 29, 2009
Surgical recovery is usually a few weeks - but I had it via a nostril, which is how most if not all surgeons do it now - why is he doing it via the lip? Do you have a sinus obstruction?
I was asked not to bend over, no straws, no lifting for a while after surgery.
Dec 25, 2009
It has now been almost two weeks after my surgery!! During surgery... What was once a tumor ended up to be a non-cancerous fibrosis cizst (TYG). Have to wait till the 29th December to go to two follow-up visits (Endocrinologist & Neurosurgeon). Recovering well... Still have headaches, light sensitivity, and well still having nose discharge :(. Watching TV seems to be a TASK for me... get dizzy from watching fast moving objects accross the screen. Anyone out there that can tell me how long before you recover completely? What "getting well" signs should I be looking for during recovery process? Thanks & Merry Christmas everyone!!
Dec 26, 2009
To: Rumpled
The Surgical procedure was done through upper lip due to a sinus infection I had due to Bromocriptine. I am going on two weeks after surgery and recently I have sneezed a couple of times, bent over, sipped through straws, and now I think I'm coming down with a cold. It was not done on purpose of course...but being used to doing things myself, it Is so easy to forget that you just had surgery and jump right into tasking :). I feel OK except for the occasional sharp headaches. I have been keeping myself away from the strong pain killers and have stuck w/ Tylenol only. My follow up appointment is soon... not sure what to expect other than normal hormonal checks.
Jan 15, 2010
Ok...here I am 1mo. After my microscopic surgery to remove my so called "tumor". I previously had my post op appointment w/ neurosurgeon and was adviced that I was a "one of a kind case". He explained that during surgery, he notices that the absess
was NOT a tumor! It was a fibrotic cyst. There was trace of blood sitting on cavity (which he removed) and when he went to remove cyst blood just shot out like it was pressurized (my simple English
wording). So apparently that was what was causing my pressure headaches, dizziness, etc. I believe this because I have been headache free now for 6 days.
On another note, he mentioned that inside the pit. gland there was a solidified tumor...not significantly big. He could NOT remove because he would have to remove most of my pit. gland to do so...which meant a lot of supplemental hormones. He strongly stressed how confident he was that the cyst was the one causing the problem and made the call to leave tumor and control it w/ medicine. He also mentioned that he believes the bromocriptine was the cause of my tumor solidifying.
Have not seen endocrinologist after his visit, but what dies this mean? My prolactine levels are still a little elevated...which means I still have to take medicine. But if tumor is a solid, not sure if it can continue to grow, have a different effect on me?
Not sure if anyone else has heard of a tumor solidifying...but if you have, what were your experiences?
Jan 15, 2010
I would still go see an endo - and ask her about the side effects of the bromo. There is another med - and one is Europe... still, wow - that is strange!
Usually if the tumor bursts like that, it is called a pituitary apoplexy. I can see that some tumor have different texture as heard that from the surgeons - I know the cushing's tumors are gooey. There are cysts there - did you get back pathology and read the report?
You do not want the tumor to grow - I would go see the endo.
Jan 30, 2010
Thx rumpled :) Endo has not really given me many answers as of today. I'm searching for another endo that can help me and understands these types of scenerios. The pathology report was not given to me...endo kept it. When I find another competent endo is when I'm planning to ask for all of my records. I'm just hoping tumor doesn't grow. Prolactin level was @ 60 a mo. after surgery :(
Feb 01, 2010
Go to the place where the procedure was done, find medical records and get a copy for yourself. You may or may not have to pay - but get a copy.
Then do find a competent endo.
Sep 16, 2010
Hi all,
Well I am usually on a liver site, but glad I fell upon this one...I had a prolactin level of over 200 and endo said I would not have a period, well I had a period and thought I was going to bleed to death..now levels are at about 60ish and well here we are again with another period....life is just grand..lol...so i am scheduled for MRI on Oct 4th, cause they want to see pit gland anyway, as I am now also cortisol defiencent...and the tests are not helping...bloodwork....
So any advise here??
Sep 17, 2010
So you have liver, pituitary and adrenal issues... oh man...
Have you seen a good gyne re the period? What kind of testing has been done - any LH, FSH, estrogen, testosterone etc.
Do you get proper pit tumors - dynamic? With and without contrast, contrast given while you are in the machine?
As for the adrenals - any stim tests? Are you on replacements?
Sep 18, 2010
Sep 29, 2010
Wow rumpled...seems that you have been familiar with all the stuff that is going on with me.....
I am on Thyroid meds, and cortisol meds. I am having a MRI done on Monday...and see liver specialist on Tuesday...so not sure where it will all end up..I am having pit Mri done, to rule out alot of possiblities, I guess...Also have had a complete set of bloodwork done for all the hormones...and only one that is bad is prolactin, and well obviously the TSH...but that one is under control again...went from 25 to 75 in meds....
Had an ACTH stimulation test done, and well I am on Cortef now....so I guess we shall see what the other tests show....
I will post when I have more ...
Sep 30, 2010
If you are on cortef now, now you have at least two hormones off - so I hope the doc is going to look at your entire system - there are feedback loops and all, and you may need other meds with the cortef like florinef and salt and dhea too.
Get a copy and see what the endo is testing.

To: This board
OMG OMG. I can't believe the similarity of symptoms. I know this is an old thread but I want to post this for the benefit of anyone who still may come upon it. Long story short, I just lived a NIGHTMARE of neurology appointments when it turns out the problem was prolactin all along. Sudden onset of severe headaches for four months daily behind my ear and back of head, then weird tugging sensations behind my eyes, nausea, dizziness, and adrenaline mid-chest feeling rising up to a full pressure sensation in my head and ears like someone was filling me up with air. Everyone kept saying stress migraines, but it just did not add up to me. I knew something was "off."
It was only after I was admitted to the hospital and they did a full workup of scans and bloodwork that one little test out of hundred blood tests - for prolactin - came up positive. It did not show on my MRI scan though- no tumor, just in the blood work.
I can't begin to tell you the disruption this little hormone has done to my life and functioning. Everyone was convinced it was "just stress" and that I just had to accept the daily migraines were a new part of my life. No wonder why pain meds just did not work.
I just got out of the hospital and will follow up with an endo. I can't believe all the neuros and headached dr's I saw (until the excellent hospital neuros) didn't suggest checking pituitary hormone levels. I am 45 and the high prolactin may dovetail for me with perimenopause. I highly suggest any woman of middle age experiencing crushing headaches to consider getting this test. Who would have ever thought that hormones could be this destructive!
Dec 14, 2013
I just responded to a different post of yours. But i wanted to rec that you request a copy of your MRI from the facility that did it. They copy onto a CD, which you can then copy and send to pituitary neurosurgeons or radiologists to read. Sometimes they are there on the images but the radiologist misses it. The images are taken in slices usually 3 mm apart up/down and side to side. If an adenoma is only 2-4 mm it can be missed by the imaging.
Also your headache could be hormonal and addressed by normalizing those that are off.
Also because of the eye symptoms,u should see a neuro opthamologist.
Are you being seen at a place with a pituitary center? Those docs have much more training than regular neuros and would have probably rec many of the things that I've mentioned.
Take care
Dec 19, 2013
Please MRI report is at
Today appointment done with Endocrinologist, she came out with opinion that pituitary is ok and fine, she is not ready to do any of further assessment like dynamic MR or Genetic test,.
She accept that it may have tiny stuff in pituitary but without any decision. She ruled out that obesity/center weight has any link with low growth hormones at all. she is after to reduce weight, confused that how to reduce weight? non tolerance to exercise. I explained to her that in case MRI comes out with no tumor then you should do further testing like ferritin and genetic test,.
She explained that TSH is not hormone of pituitary at all. for low TSH, does such opinion is worth to accept or not. she told that because I am taking synthyroid ,it is ok. does this can accept.
Only opinion she explained is worth to accept that due to low testosterone ,my prolactin and FSH goes high , for high LH she told she is not worried for this, for cortisol low and DHEAS low she does not have any clue.
She ruled out reason of center headache is of low growth hormones does this is worth to believe.
Please guide with your knowledge ,I know you can do.

Reusable Cloth Snack Bags

Forget the disposable plastic bags and make a greener and prettier alternative. Make cloth snack or sandwich bags with this tutorial from Amy Thompson.
- Plastic tablecloth or oilcloth
- Fabric
- Rotary Cutter
- Sewing machine and thread
- Velcro (non-sticky back kind)
I've had the idea and the supplies for this project for several weeks and I finally had the time last weekend to sit down and put the two together! The lovely Betz White of this week's MamaView posted about green lunch kits and linked to these two tutorials.
I glanced over the tutorials and then just winged it! One of those plastic table cloths and some cloth napkins found at the thrift store made the perfect material. The fuzzy side of the table cloth made it stick to the napkin nicelyso they didn't slide around while sewing them. I cut squares of the tablecloth to the same size as the napkins and then sewed them together; one side cloth, the other side waterproof for the inside of the bag.
Then I stitched velcro to two opposite sides on the tablecloth side. DO NOT use that sticky-backed kind! It is such a pain to use and you don't need it to be sticky if you're going to be sewing it on anyway.
Then stick those velcro pieces together and sew up the sides. You're going to have raw hems on the outside because you don't want them folded in or they'll get all in the food on the inside of the bag. You want the inside nice and clean.
Then to solve the raw edge problem, pin on some pretty binding and sew it up!
- These are really addicting to make so you might find yourself with a whole set before you know it! They sew up so quickly, it's a satisfying project.

OOCL reported profit in 2012 was $297 million, jumping 63 percent from $182 million in 2011.
Yearly revenue was $6.5 billion, up 7 percent from $6.0 billion in the previous year. Revenue per TEU rose 2.9 percent to $1,131.
The container line's liifting increased 3.7 percent to 5.2 million 20-foot-equivalent units. Operating capacity increased 8.8 percent to 452,246 TEUs.
"While 2012 was a profitable year for the group, the container transportation market continued to be challenging as the industry struggled to absorb substantial new-build vessel capacity while facing ongoing weak demand growth," said Chee-chen Tung, chairman of OOIL, in a written statement. "The year ahead looks as though it will be as difficult as 2012."
In 2012, no new vessels were delivered to OOCL and no vessel orders were placed. The carrier purchased one 12-year-old, 5,560-TEU vessel previously under long-term charter and sold two 16-year-old, 5,344-TEU vessels and then time-chartered them back for a three-year period.
"Flexibility in our operating model to be able to adjust capacity to actual demand levels remains a key focus for OOCL in 2013 as we absorb our new 13,200-TEU vessels," Tung added. These vessels will be delivered in 2013 and 2014, he said.

For 55 years, the ground floor of Carondelet Hall on the Chalon Campus has been known as the Casa. But its current purpose — as undergraduate housing — is just the latest in a list of functions it has served since it opened in February 1959.
"Casa" is shorthand for Casa Margarita, named for Sister Marguerite Ellard, CSJ, who founded the home economics department in 1932. When plans for the ultra-modern Carondelet Hall were finalized in 1958, they incorporated her vision for a state-of-the-art laboratory for senior home economics students.
The Home Management Lab was actually an eight-room apartment with its own entrance, and fitted with a large kitchen and the latest appliances, a dining room, an ocean-view terrace, and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Groups of four to six seniors and a CSJ faculty member spent several weeks each semester in the Casa doing their own cooking, shopping, budgeting, laundry and household chores. The budget was far from lavish, so students learned to create healthy, appetizing meals with limited funds. If friends dropped by unexpectedly for dinner, the Casa "family" was expected to provide it. Teas, receptions and dressy dinner parties were also part of the curriculum.
After home economics waned as a major the Casa still found plenty of special occupants. Honors colloquia, cooking clubs and summer sports camps all took their turn. In the mid-1990s, commuter students in the Adult Learners program could reserve a place to live and study during finals. As part of an experiment in "theme housing" on both campuses in 1999, the Casa became home to the "Community About Serving All," a small group of students interested in service and social justice.
While many of its original amenities — including the fireplace — are gone, the Casa still lives up to its original role: a special home away from home.

Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra (born November 19, 1961),[1] known professionally as Meg Ryan, is an American actress and producer. After playing several minor roles in film and television, Ryan got the leading female role in When Harry Met Sally.... Over the next 15 years, she played leading roles in several romantic-comedy films, including Sleepless in Seattle (1993), French Kiss (1995), Addicted to Love (1997), City of Angels (1998), You've Got Mail (1998), and Kate & Leopold (2001), films which together grossed a total of more than $870 million worldwide.[2] In 1995, Time critic Richard Corliss called her "the current soul of romantic comedy."[3]
Ryan was born in Fairfield, Connecticut, the daughter of Susan Jordan (née Ryan) – a former actress and English teacher – and Harry Hyra, a math teacher. Both Susan and Harry were raised in Fairfield.[4][5] Ryan's mother had appeared in a television commercial and had later briefly worked as an assistant casting director in New York City. She supported and encouraged her young daughter's acting studies. Ryan has two sisters, Dana and Annie, and a brother, the musician Andrew Hyra, a member of the band Billy Pilgrim. Her parents divorced in 1976, when she was 15 years old.[6] Ryan has Irish and Polish ancestry (her surname, "Hyra", originates in Poland).[7][8] She was raised a Roman Catholic[9] and graduated from St. Pius X Elementary School in Fairfield, where her mother taught sixth grade. Ryan graduated from Bethel High School in 1979.[10] She went on to study journalism as an undergraduate, first at the University of Connecticut and then at New York University. During college, she acted in television commercials to earn extra money. She dropped out of college a semester before she would have graduated and has said this decision was due to her success as an actress.[11][12]
After her film debut in George Cukor's Rich and Famous, Ryan played Betsy Stewart in the daytime drama As the World Turns, from 1982 to 1984, and her character was featured in a popular romantic story arc. Around that same time, she appeared in a Burger King commercial. Several television film and smaller film roles followed, including Amityville 3-D and Promised Land; for her role in the latter she received her first Independent Spirit Award nomination. In 1986, she played Carole Bradshaw, the wife of Naval Flight Officer Nick "Goose" Bradshaw (played by Anthony Edwards) in Top Gun. Ryan starred in the film Innerspace with her future husband Dennis Quaid, then in the remake of D.O.A. and in The Presidio.
Her first leading role was the romantic comedy film When Harry Met Sally... (1989), which paired her with comedic leading man Billy Crystal. Her memorable portrayal of Sally Albright, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination, famously included a now-iconic scene in which her character, while lunching with Crystal's character in Katz's Delicatessen in Manhattan, very theatrically demonstrates for him how easy it is to fake an orgasm. Ryan next starred in The Doors, which was moderately successful, and Prelude to a Kiss, which flopped[citation needed]. The year 1993 saw the release of the hugely successful romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle, which paired Ryan for the second time with Tom Hanks. They had previously been paired as romantic leads in the film Joe Versus the Volcano, which was a commercial disappointment, but later developed a cult following—and they would later be paired for a third time in the film You've Got Mail. She also starred again with Dennis Quaid in Flesh and Bone.
In 1994, Ryan wanted to break away from being typecast and chose to take on several roles that were different from the romantic-comedy ingenue character for which she had become famous.[3] In Luis Mandoki's When a Man Loves a Woman (1994), a romantic social drama film also starring Andy Garcia, she played an alcoholic high-school guidance counselor. The film and her performance were both well received by critics.[13] For example, one critic called the film "a first-class production, accentuated by fine performances and an unflinching script."[14] Another praised Ryan for her performance of a "roller-coaster role."[14] The film was a notable success in its domestic run, grossing $50 million in the United States alone,[15] and garnered the actress her first Screen Actors Guild Award.[16] The same year, Ryan starred alongside Tim Robbins in Fred Schepisi's romantic comedy I.Q. (1994). The film centres on a mechanic and a Princeton doctoral candidate who falls in love, thanks to the graduate student's uncle, Albert Einstein, played by Walter Matthau.(Despite borrowing some of its characters, such as Einstein, from real life, the film's story and its portrayal of those characters is completely fictional.)
Some of her films of the 1990s were hits not only in North America, but also internationally.[citation needed] In 1994, Ryan won Harvard's Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year, and People Magazine dubbed her one of "the 50 most beautiful people in the world." In 1995, critic Richard Corliss called her "the current soul of romantic comedy."[3] That same year, she appeared opposite Kevin Kline in Lawrence Kasdan's French Kiss, a romantic comedy that catered to her "America's Sweetheart" image, and Ryan was awarded the Women in Film Crystal Award. (This award is given to "outstanding women who, through their endurance and the excellence of their work, have helped to expand the role of women within the entertainment industry.")[17] In 1997, Ryan voiced the lead role in the animated film Anastasia, which garnered good reviews and enjoyed box office success. In 1998, she starred in two films. City of Angels drew positive reviews and became a financial success, topping nearly $200 million worldwide. You've Got Mail once again paired Ryan with Hanks, earning her a third Golden Globe nomination and making over $250 million worldwide. She also appeared in 1998's Hurlyburly with Sean Penn.
Ryan's first film of the 2000s was Hanging Up, a Diane Keaton-directed family comedy-drama about a trio of sisters who bond over their ambivalence toward the approaching death of their distant, curmudgeonly father. Also starring Keaton, Lisa Kudrow, and Walter Matthau, the film adaptation of Delia Ephron's 1995 novel received poor reviews by critics, and grossed slightly over $51 million, falling $9 million short of recouping its budget of $60 million.[18]
The same year, Ryan was cast in the action thriller Proof of Life with Russell Crowe, directed by Taylor Hackford. In the film, she portrayed the distraught wife of a kidnapped engineer, played by David Morse, while relying on a resourceful troubleshooter who makes a profession of dealing with international bandits. While the film became a lukewarm critical and commercial success, grossing $63 million worldwide,[19] it garnered much reportage in the tabloid press in association with Ryan and Crowe's affair.[20] Stephen Holden, film critic for The New York Times, did not think the film worked well and opined that the actors did not connect.[21]
A year later, she once again returned to her romantic comedy roots with Kate & Leopold (2001), alongside Hugh Jackman. A film about a duke who travels through time from New York in 1876 to the present and falls in love with a successful market researcher in the modern New York, the James Mangold-directed film received a mixed-to-positive response,[13] with Lael Loewenstein of Variety summing it as "a mostly charming and diverting tale."[22] At a total gross of $70 million, it would eventually remain Ryan's highest-grossing film of the decade.[23]
In 2003, Ryan broke away from her usual roles, starring alongside Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Jason Leigh in Jane Campion's erotic thriller film In the Cut. Originally, co-producer Nicole Kidman was cast in the lead, but the actress eventually dropped out after five years of development, leaving the role to Ryan, who appeared nude in a lengthy and rather graphic love scene for the first time in her career. Although her image-conflicting depiction earned Ryan and the film much media attention, the film failed with critics and grossed only $23 million in theaters.[24]
In October 2003, while in the UK to promote In the Cut, Ryan made a controversial appearance on Parkinson.[25] She followed this strategy with a leading role in Charles S. Dutton's directorial debut Against the Ropes (2004). A fictionalized sport drama about American boxing manager Jackie Kallen, who was the first woman to become a success in the sport, and her rocky relationship with protege Luther Shaw. The film grossed less than $6 million in the U.S. and was panned by critics, in part because of its resemblance to other boxing films, such as the Rocky series.
Following a three-year hiatus, Ryan returned to film with Jon Kasdan's 2007 independent film In the Land of Women, a film she described as "kind of like The Graduate, but with cancer".[26] Starring alongside Kristen Stewart and Olympia Dukakis, she played Sarah Hardwicke, a mother and wife facing breast cancer, who connects with her neighbor's much younger grandson, played by Adam Brody. Released to mixed reviews by critics,[27] the film grossed $17.5 million worldwide,[28] exceeding its budget of $10 million.[29] Ryan received a positive response for her performance, with Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times noting it "the best work [she] has done in forever".[30]
Ryan's first film release of 2008 was The Deal, a satirical comedy film based on Peter Lefcourt's 1991 novel of the same title about Hollywood. Directed by Steven Schachter and co-starring William H. Macy, the film was shot in Cape Town and other South African locations and celebrated its world premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Garnering generally mixed to negative reviews, it failed to draw interest among film studios, resulting in a straight-to-DVD release in January 2009.[31] In his review for Variety, Peter Debruge said, "The characters seem to be doing all the laughing, while the general public has nothing to cling to but the horndog flirtation between mismatched leads William H. Macy and Meg Ryan—hardly ideal ingredients for mainstream success."[32] Already shot in fall of 2006, George Gallo's film My Mom's New Boyfriend, in which Ryan starred also went direct-to-DVD in 2008.[33] Co-starring Colin Hanks, Selma Blair, and Antonio Banderas, the action comedy received overwhelmingly negative reviews, with David Nusair of Reel Film noting it "an unmitigated disaster virtually from its opening frames".[33]
Ryan's last film of 2008 was The Women, a remake of the 1939 production. The all-female cast comprises Annette Bening, Debra Messing and Jada Pinkett Smith.[34] Written, produced and directed by Diane English, the film centers on a group of four female Manhattan socialites whose primary interest is idle gossip, with Ryan portraying a wealthy woman whose husband is cheating on her with a shop girl, played by Eva Mendes. Ryan was the first actress to join the long-delayed production, which struggled to find financing since the early 1990s, resulting in an independent production budgeted at $18 million.[34] Upon its release, The Women received a disastrous response from critics, with Richard Schickel of Time calling it "one of the worst movies I've ever seen".[35] The film was a financial success, however, becoming Ryan's most successful film since 2001's Kate & Leopold with a worldwide gross of $50 million.[36]
In 2009, Ryan starred alongside Kristen Bell and Justin Long in the independent comedy film Serious Moonlight. In this film, directed by actress Cheryl Hines and based on a screenplay by late writer Adrienne Shelly, who was murdered a year prior to filming, Ryan portrayed a high-powered female attorney who learns that her husband, played by Timothy Hutton, is about to leave their troubled marriage, and decides to hold him captive by duct-taping him to a toilet.[37] Picked up by Magnolia Pictures, the production received a limited release throughout North America only, and grossed less than $150,000 worldwide.[38] Critical reaction to the film was generally mixed-to-negative,[39] although Ryan was praised for her "terrific" performance.[40] Also in 2009, Ryan guest-starred on the seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
In October 2010, she was cast in the ensemble drama Lives of The Saints alongside Kat Dennings, Kevin Zegers and John Lithgow. The drama, similar in style to Crash, interweaves the lives of a group of Los Angeles residents who are all struggling with past mistakes.[41] In April 2011, it was announced that Ryan would make her feature film directing debut with a film titled Into the Beautiful.[42][43] In May 2011 she was cast in Long Time Gone, a film adaptation of the April Stevens novel Angel Angel,[44][45] with filming projected to begin that fall.[46] Ryan was later replaced in the part.
In 2012, Ryan was featured in the documentary Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide premiering on PBS October 1. The series introduces women and girls living under difficult circumstances and fighting to challenge them. The Half the Sky PBS TV series is produced by Show of Force along with Fugitive Films.[citation needed] Ryan's audiobook recording of William Saroyan's The Human Comedy was released at Audible.com.
Ryan announced in October 2013, that she would be returning to television to produce and star in a new comedy for NBC revolving around a former hotshot New York editor.[47]
Ryan married actor Dennis Quaid on Valentine's Day 1991, after starring in three films with him (D.O.A., Innerspace and Flesh and Bones). She agreed to marry him only after he kicked his cocaine addiction.[3] Quaid and Ryan have one child together, Jack Quaid, born April 24, 1992.[48][49] In 2000, she became involved with Russell Crowe on the set of Proof of Life. She and Quaid separated and their divorce became final on July 16, 2001.[48] In September 2008, Ryan stated that Quaid had been unfaithful to her for a long time while they were married.[50] In January 2006, Ryan adopted a 14-month-old girl from China named Daisy True.[51][52] As of November 2010, she is in a relationship with American rock singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, who announced on December 30, 2010 that he and his wife, Elaine Irwin Mellencamp, were divorcing after 18 years of marriage.[53]
Ryan has supported the Democratic Party, especially its environmental protection programs and initiatives.[54][55] In 2003, she supported Wesley Clark's campaign for U.S. president.[56] She supported John Kerry during the 2004 presidential elections.[57]

I recently got a MK II but have a problem with the bolt/firing pin. If you pull the bolt back and let it go forward gently it works properly, but if you pull it back and just let it go, it sets off the firing pin. I have replaced all the springs and am guessing it is the sear????

Sear spring. Bet its bent.
I've got a scar on my foot from exactly your issue.
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship?
Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?
I am guessing you were pointing it down when you cycled the bolt. Thanks for the info. I will order one
Could be bolt stop pin, spring or disconnector assembly.
I looked at the sear spring and it looked fine to me, I was just going to order a new one since they are only a couple of bucks. But after this I have replaced about every spring there is.
I will look at the bolt stop pin....I am not sure
PM JonM here on FTF. He knows a lot about Mark II's.

Top 8 Reasons to Consider Moving or Retiring to Belize ..
1. Belize Real Estate Prices: There is no such thing as a price for a foreigner and a price for a Belizean. All prices quoted on a property listing is the price that will be applied to anyone.
2. Stable exchange rate: Local currency is the Belize Dollar or $BZD. One US dollar is equivalent to $2 BZD. Banks in Belize include, Atlantic Bank, Belize Bank, First Caribbean, Heritage Bank and Scotia Bank.
3. Belize's Superior Location: Belize is an area of only 8,866 square miles. Belize is bordered by Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the west and south. Belize City is located less than 2 hours from the United States, namely, Miami.
4. Language: English is the official language of Belize and is widely spoken. Spanish, Creole, Maya and Garifuna are also spoken in different areas of Belize.
5. Belize Offers Attractive Taxation Incentives: There are no capital gains or inheritance taxes in Belize. There is also a very attractive Belize Retired Person's Incentive Program which states that "all persons who have been designated a Qualified Retired Person shall be entitled, on first entering Belize, to import his or her personal effects and an approved means of transportation free of all import duties and taxes. A Qualified Retired Person shall be exempt from the payment of all taxes and duties on all income or receipts which accrue to him or her from a source outside of Belize whether that income is generated from work performed or from an investment."
6. Belizean Laws Fair to Foreigners: Foreigners purchasing land or property in Belize are afforded the same rights as Belizeans regarding freehold property ownership. When purchasing property in Belize, you pay a one time stamp duty fee to the Government of Belize which is 5% of purchase price less the first US$10,000.
7. Stability in Belize: Belize is an independent country with a democratic parliamentary government elected by the citizens. A member of the British Commonwealth, Belize's legal system is based on British common law.
8. Belizean Lifestyle: The population of Belize is approximately 312,698 which comprises of Creole (African-European), Garifuna, Mestizo (Spanish-Indian), Maya, British, North Americans, Mennonite, Lebanese, Chinese, East Indian, Latinos and Europeans. There is racial harmony allowing all of these different cultures to blend in successfully. Coconut groves. Sun-kissed coves. Shallow lagoons. Tropical moons. Who doesn't want to live in Paradise?
The majority of listings on this website are located in the Cayo District but we would be more than happy to help you look for property on the coast.

Today the governor released budget recommendations for the 2015-2017 state budgets--and there actually was some good news!
Gov. Inslee proposes to fund almost all of CWU's capital request for a total of about $106 million for construction, maintenance, and renovation. Here are the highlights.
Those of you who have been obsessing about higher education funding lo these last ten or 15 years know what it's like to be stuck in a box.
There has been one and one approach only to public funding of higher education for the better part of 60 years: tuition + support from the state general fund. Once upon a time--you know, until 2009--most of higher education funding came from the state general fund. (I promise not to go into this again--just now.)
Over the past three weeks everyone left behind on summer break has been on a steady diet of budgeting. But no 2014 budget banquet can be complete without a healthy serving of Responsibility Centered management. RCM is either a fiscal Bogeyman or fiscal Deliverer. It is neither.
Thanks to Andy in OE we have a preview of the new College Affordability and Transparency list, which demonstrates that those who increase tuition fastest win the state budget wars. Review the highest-increase list below, and then you will understand why these schools are not seeking additional state tuition authority (allegedly).
As I was saying, there are too many "budget" exercises ongoing for reasonable people to track. The latest government efficiency campaign is called LEAN. LEAN For Dummies says LEAN is "a customer-centric methodology used to continuously improve any process through the elimination of waste in everything you do; it is based on the ideas of "Continuous Incremental Improvement" and "Respect for People."
There are so many "budget exercises" going on right now I guess I shouldn't be surprised people are conflating one with the other.
The governor's exercise: Earlier this month Gov. Inslee asked all state agencies--yes, we're an agency--to model a 15% budget cut. This is not an atypical request at the beginning of budget season. No one is sadder than I that it IS the beginning of budget season. Seems like we just finished a legislative session. Time to start a new one.
Welcome back to the Briefing Room!
Good news! Glad to have you back. Bad news. Launching this blog again because we have re-entered the Budget Vortex. Just when we thought we were out....it keeps pulling us back in.

As a Denver native, I've integrated myself into the culture of this city, knowing that on any given day I will see: someone in fleece; four forest green ski/bike racked Subaru station wagons; and that guy/gal who dresses in shorts, sandals and a parka with a hood.
Even so, as a black woman from Park Hill, I was taken aback when I accidentally unearthed the single largest gathering of white people I've ever seen -- which, by Colorado standards, is no small feat.
I was working on a freelance assignment and had agreed to meet an interview subject the following day at REI -- the huge monstrosity in downtown Denver that, I'm pretty sure, is divided into two zip codes and drinks from the Platte River. But I decided to take a dry run down there before heading off to have Bloody Marys with the girls. My life has been known to revolve around meetings and vodka.
I was amazed. In addition to three levels of parking, there were two -- count them -- two overflow parking lots stuffed with cars. Which is odd because white people bike everywhere in every season. And although I'd been near the store dozens of times, I'd never actually made the trek inside because, well, I don't need a canoe.
I discovered that REI is a jam-packed collection of caps, cargo shorts, fleece, flip-flops and white people, many wheeling their offspring in rugged strollers made by Jeep. Not to mention all the sporting equipment one could imagine and an in-store Starbucks. Although it seems to me that providing double lattes to sporty types already giddy from the smell of new canoes could be as dangerous as dealing Mountain Dew to a four-year-old.
As I passed the 45-foot indoor climbing wall, I was blinded by a light from above. When I looked up, I realized it wasn't florescent bulbs but the reflection off the pale yet toned thighs of a couple of guys ascending the wall. I turned away, however, not wanting to look up those khaki-colored cargo shorts.

The Second Pine Tar War
The Plain Facts
Tampa Bay Rays reliever Joel Peralta was ejected Tuesday night for having pine tar on his glove in the eighth inning of a 5-4 win over the Washington Nationals. Peralta played for the Nationals in 2010, and also for the Syracuse Chiefs (the team's Triple-A affiliate) earlier that year when Nats first base coach Trent Jewett was the manager. Davey Johnson initiated the inquiry with home plate umpire Tim Tschida, who looked at the glove, found the pine tar, and made the ejection. Peralta, caught red-handed, tipped his cap to the Nationals as he walked off the field. Judging by precedent and the rulebook, he'll likely be suspended for 10 games.
Davey Johnson
Johnson said there was a rumor going around, in warm-ups and on the bench during the game, that Peralta had a fondness for pine tar. "Well, he pitched here," Johnson said, when asked for the source. "I don't think it's a secret." As he went out to Tschida, the umpire was grinning, and Johnson overcame his initial hesitation to request the glove check.
Joel Peralta
The reliever offered a muddled explanation after the game, saying it was his "batting practice glove" but refusing to explain how the pine tar got there in the first place. "I'm every day playing catch with it, it's hot here," he said. "That's all I'm going to say about it." He did stick around long enough to direct one final parting shot at his former team: "Good for them," he said. "They still lose the game."
Joe Maddon
Tampa Bay's skipper was the most overtly angry of the principal characters, and responded immediately by requesting a check on Nationals reliever Ryan Mattheus next inning. In his postgame rage, when the adjective "cowardly" proved insufficient, he called the pine-tar check "a pussy move." Twice.
His rationale was that many players use pine tar — "It's kind of a common practice that people have done this for years," he said — and it was unfair to single out Peralta. "Insider trading, man. It's bush," he said. "It's bogus. That's way too easy, right there."
"I promise you one thing," he added, "you're going to see brand-new gloves throughout the major leagues starting tomorrow, with pitchers on every major league ball club."
Who's the Bad Guy?
There seems to be a belief among baseball people that exposing blatant acts of cheating is a violation of some self-protecting code. Things should be handled quietly, if they're handled at all; look at the 2006 World Series, when Tigers starter Kenny Rogers experienced a brief career resurrection courtesy of a spitball. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa got wind of the cheating in Game 2, but instead of blowing the whistle, he spoke a quiet word to the crew chief, who relayed the news to Jim Leyland and Rogers, who presumably stopped throwing spitballs. The Cardinals won the Series in five games.
But as much as Rogers must have appreciated La Russa's delicate approach, does anybody owe that kind of mercy to a cheater? Billy Martin certainly didn't think so when he called out George Brett for using too much pine tar on his bat in 1983. And unlike Peralta, Brett's rule-breaking was a matter of ignorance, rather than an attempt to gain an advantage (hence the success of the Royals' ensuing protest).
There are baseball people, like Maddon, who believe that Johnson betrayed an unwritten rule by outing Peralta. And it stands to reason that there were at least a few members on the Nationals who don't have fond memories of the Rays reliever, or it might have been handled differently. But the inescapable fact is that Peralta was cheating, and Maddon's puzzling outrage is totally unjustified. Hitting a baseball is a difficult act, and when a pitcher gives himself an illegal advantage with pine tar or spit or Vaseline or any other substance, righteous indignation belongs to the batter. Peralta and Maddon have nobody to blame but themselves, and the only emotion they should have the audacity to express is shame.

McD has been calling offenses for 6 years now. He's had one RB go for over 1100 yds. I'll stand by my assessment. Everyone and their mother knows the guy has no interest in running the ball.

Because it's implied. You have to compare them on a rushes per game and not a total rushes per season basis....unless you really think it's fair to compare seasons where he only started 11 or 12 games as opposed to 15 or 16. That's just idiotic. On a per game basis, it's not even close. He had FAR fewer carries per game last year than in prior years.

Up until this past year, when Knowshon was out hurt, it wasn't even close. Wells had a great 2011 and only because of that, they're now basically even in production across the board. Though Knowshon is still clearly better than him at catching the ball out of the backfield, with almost triple the receiving yards and 6 receiving TDs to 0.

i don't think they made it deliberately worse so people slowed down typing, rather, it would seem it was setup (as everyone points out) to keep binding up of the strokes, no not perfect. but can't people have their own opinions.

"Very delicious! As soon as I took a taste of arugala by itself, I knew that the combination of flavors with lime and basil would work very well, however, I only put 2 tbls. of lime juice as opposed to 2 limes worth. The avocado smoothed out the strong flavors. """
