If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, the first step your doctor may take will be to find the specifics of the tumor to determine your breast cancer type. This information can help guide your treatment. Breast cancer can begin in different areas of the breast: the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma), the lobules (lobular carcinoma), and in some cases in the connective tissue within the breast. Nearly all breast cancers are either ductal carcinomas or lobular carcinomas.
Ductal Carcinomas Ductal carcinoma forms in the lining of a milk duct within your breast. The ducts carry breast milk from the lobules, where it's made, to the nipple. Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ (DCIS)DCIS is a type of early breast cancer that starts and remains confined to the layer of cells where it began inside of the ductal system. It is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer. Non-invasive means that is has not spread beyond the ducts into the surrounding breast tissue. The cancer has remained in-situ which means "in its original place." DCIS is not life-threatening but having DCIS can increase the risk of developing a new breast cancer or invasive breast cancer later on. Most recurrences of breast cancer happen within five to 10 years after initial diagnosis. The chances of a recurrence are under 30 percent. About 1 in 5 new breast cancer cases will be DCIS. Nearly all women diagnosed at this early stage of breast cancer can be cured. A mammogram is often the best way to find DCIS early. Infiltrating (Invasive) Ductal Carcinoma (IDC)IDC is the most common type of breast cancer. An invasive cancer is one that has already grown beyond the layer of cells where it started (as opposed to carcinoma in situ). This is cancer that started in a milk duct, has broken through the wall of the milk duct, and has begun to invade the tissues of the breast. At this point, it may be able to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system and bloodstream. About 80 percent of all breast cancers are invasive ductal carcinomas. (Most breast cancers are invasive carcinomas -- either invasive ductal carcinoma or invasive lobular carcinoma.) Less Common Ductal CarcinomasThere are some types of invasive ductal carcinoma that happen less commonly than others. In these cancers, the cells can look and behave somewhat differently than invasive ductal carcinoma cells usually do. Tubular CarcinomaThis is a rare subtype of invasive ductal breast carcinoma. Tubular carcinoma cells have a distinctive tubular structure when viewed under a microscope. In this type of cancer, the tumor is usually small and comprised of cells that are low grade. "Low grade" means they look somewhat similar to normal, healthy cells and tend to grow slowly. Tubular carcinomas account for about 2% of all breast cancers. They are treated like invasive ductal carcinomas but tend to have a better prognosis than most breast cancers. Tubular carcinoma of the breast is less likely to spread outside the breast than other types of breast cancer and is easier to treat. The average age of diagnosis for tubular carcinoma ranges from the mid-40s to late 60s. Medullary CarcinomaThis carcinoma of the breast is a rare subtype of invasive ductal carcinoma, accounting for about three to five percent of all cases of breast cancer. It most frequently occurs in women in their late 40s and 50s and is called "medullary" carcinoma because the tumor is a soft, fleshy mass that resembles the medulla (gray matter) of the brain. Medullary carcinoma cells are usually high-grade in their appearance and low-grade in their behavior. In other words, they look like aggressive, highly abnormal cancer cells, but they don't act like them. Medullary carcinoma doesn't grow quickly and usually doesn't spread outside the breast to the lymph nodes. For this reason, it's typically easier to treat than other types of breast cancer. This cancer has a rather well-defined boundary between tumor tissue and normal tissue. It also has some other special features, including the large size of the cancer cells and the presence of immune system cells at the edges of the tumor. Mucinous Carcinoma (Colloid)This carcinoma of the breast, also known as colloid carcinoma, is a rare form of invasive ductal carcinoma. Mucinous carcinoma of the breast accounts for about 2-3% of all breast cancer cases. In this type of cancer, the tumor is formed from abnormal cells that "float" in pools of mucin, a key ingredient in the slimy, slippery substance known as mucus. Normally, mucus lines most of the inner surface of our bodies, such as our digestive tract, lungs, liver, and other vital organs. Many types of cancer cells, including most breast cancer cells, produce some mucus. In mucinous carcinoma, however, the mucus becomes a main part of the tumor and surrounds the breast cancer cells. Mucinous carcinoma tends to affect women after they've gone through menopause. Some studies have found that the usual age at diagnosis is 60 or older. Mucinous carcinoma is less likely to spread to the lymph nodes than other types of breast cancer making it easier to treat than more common types of invasive breast cancer. Papillary Carcinoma of the BreastPapillary carcinoma is often considered a subtype of ductal carcinoma in situ, and is treated as such. In rare cases, the tumor is invasive, in which case it is treated like invasive ductal carcinoma, although the outlook is likely to be better. These cancers tend to be diagnosed in older women who have already been through menopause, and they make up no more than 1% or 2% of all breast cancers. An invasive papillary carcinoma usually has a well-defined border and is made up of small, finger-like projections. On a scale of 1 to 3, with Grade 1 describing cancer cells that look and behave somewhat like normal, healthy breast cells, and Grade 3 describing very abnormal, fast-growing cancer cells, this cancer is often Grade 2, or moderate. Lobular Carcinomas Lobular carcinoma starts in the lobules of the breast, where breast milk is produced. The lobules are connected to the ducts, which carry breast milk to the nipple. Lobular Carcinoma In-Situ (LCIS)LCIS is an area (or areas) of abnormal cell growth that increases a person's risk of developing invasive breast cancer. Despite the fact that its name includes the term "carcinoma," LCIS is not a true cancer, but is sometimes classified as a type of non-invasive breast cancer. It begins in the lobules (milk-producing glands at the end of the milk ducts) but it does not grow through the wall of the lobules. Carcinoma refers to any cancer that begins in the skin or other tissues that cover internal organs — such as breast tissue. In situ or "in its original place" means that the abnormal growth remains inside the lobule and does not spread to surrounding tissues. People diagnosed with LCIS tend to have more than one lobule affected. LCIS is an indication that a person is at higher-than-average risk for getting breast cancer at some point in the future. For this reason, some experts prefer the term "lobular neoplasia" instead of "lobular carcinoma." A neoplasia is a collection of abnormal cells. LCIS is usually diagnosed before menopause, most often between the ages of 40 and 50. Less than 10% of women diagnosed with LCIS have already gone through menopause. LCIS is extremely uncommon in men. It is unknown exactly how many people are affected by LCIS because it does not cause symptoms and usually does not show up on a mammogram. It tends to be diagnosed as a result of a biopsy performed on the breast for some other reason. Infiltrating (Invasive) Lobular Carcinoma (ILC)This cancer is the second most common type of breast cancer after invasive ductal carcinoma (cancer that begins in the milk-carrying ducts and spreads beyond it). Invasive means that the cancer has "invaded" or spread to the surrounding breast tissues. Lobular means that the cancer began in the milk-producing lobules, which empty out into the ducts that carry milk to the nipple. Carcinoma refers to any cancer that begins in the skin or other tissues that cover internal organs — such as breast tissue. All together, "invasive lobular carcinoma" refers to cancer that has broken through the wall of the lobule and begun to invade the tissues of the breast. Over time, invasive lobular carcinoma can spread to the lymph nodes and possibly to other areas of the body. ILC usually appears as a subtle thickening in the upper-outer quadrant of the breast. Although invasive lobular carcinoma can affect women at any age, it is more common as women grow older. ILC tends to occur later in life than invasive ductal carcinoma — the early 60s as opposed to the mid- to late 50s. Some research has suggested that the use of hormone replacement therapy during and after menopause can increase the risk of ILC. ILC can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. Invasive lobular carcinoma may be harder to detect by a mammogram than invasive ductal carcinoma. Rare Breast Cancers Connective Tissue CancersRarely breast cancer can begin in the connective tissue that is made up of muscles, fat and blood vessels. Cancer that begins in the connective tissue is called sarcoma. Sarcomas are cancers that start from connective tissues such as muscle tissue, fat tissue, or blood vessels. Sarcomas of the breast are rare. Phyllodes TumorsThis rare cancer accounts for less than one percent of all breast tumors. The name "phyllodes," which is taken from the Greek language and means "leaf-like," refers to that fact that the tumor cells grow in a leaf-like pattern. Other names for these tumors are phyllodes tumor and cystosarcoma phyllodes. Phyllodes tumors tend to grow quickly, but they rarely spread outside the breast. Although most phyllodes tumors are benign (not cancerous), some are malignant (cancerous) and some are borderline (in between noncancerous and cancerous). All three kinds of phyllodes tumors tend to grow quickly, and they require surgery to reduce the risk of a phyllodes tumor coming back in the breast (local recurrence). Phyllodes tumors can occur at any age, but they tend to develop when a woman is in her 40s. Benign phyllodes tumors are usually diagnosed at a younger age than malignant phyllodes tumors. Phyllodes tumors are extremely rare in men. Phyllodes tumors develop in the stroma (connective tissue) of the breast, in contrast to carcinomas, which develop in the ducts or lobules. These tumors are usually benign but on rare occasions may be malignant. Benign phyllodes tumors are treated by removing the tumor along with a margin of normal breast tissue. A malignant phyllodes tumor is treated by removing it along with a wider margin of normal tissue, or by mastectomy. Surgery is often all that is needed, but these cancers may not respond as well to the other treatments used for more common breast cancers. When a malignant phyllodes tumor has spread, it may be treated with the chemotherapy given for soft-tissue sarcomas. AngiosarcomaThis is a form of cancer that starts from cells that line blood vessels or lymph vessels. It rarely occurs in the breasts. When it does, it usually develops as a complication of previous radiation treatments. Angiosarcoma can also occur in the arm of women who develop lymphedema as a result of lymph node surgery or radiation therapy to treat breast cancer. These cancers tend to grow and spread quickly. Treatment is generally the same as for other sarcomas. Cribriform Carcinoma of the BreastIn invasive cribriform carcinoma, the cancer cells invade the stroma (connective tissues of the breast) in nest-like formations between the ducts and lobules. Within the tumor, there are distinctive holes in between the cancer cells, making it look something like Swiss cheese. Invasive cribriform carcinoma is usually low grade, meaning that its cells look and behave somewhat like normal, healthy breast cells. In about 5-6% of invasive breast cancers, some portion of the tumor can be considered cribriform. Usually, some ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the cribriform type is present as well. Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC)Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare and very aggressive type of breast cancer that causes the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast to become blocked. This type of breast cancer is called "inflammatory" because the breast often looks swollen and red, or "inflamed". IBC usually starts with the reddening and swelling of the breast instead of a distinct lump or tumor. It also makes the breast feel warm and gives the breast skin a thick, pitted appearance that looks similar to an orange peel. The affected breast may become larger or firmer, tender, or itchy. In its early stages, inflammatory breast cancer is frequently mistaken for an infection in the breast (called mastitis). Often this cancer is first treated as an infection with antibiotics. If the symptoms are caused by cancer, they will not improve, and the skin may be biopsied to look for cancer cells. Because there is no actual lump, it may not show up on a mammogram, which may make it even harder to find it early. This type of breast cancer tends to have a higher chance of spreading and a worse outlook than typical invasive ductal or lobular cancer. IBC tends to grow and spread quickly, with symptoms worsening within days or even hours. It's important to recognize symptoms and seek prompt treatment. IBC accounts for 1% to 5% of all breast cancer cases in the United States. Male Breast Cancer While males do not have the same amount of hormones that stimulate breast tissue to grow into full breast as females do they occasionally can develop real breast gland tissue because they take certain medicines or have abnormal hormone levels and develop breast cancer. Because breast cancer in men is rare (less than 1% of all breast cancers) few cases are available to study. Paget's Disease of the NippleThis is a rare form of breast cancer in which cancer cells collect in or around the nipple. The cancer usually affects the ducts of the nipple first (small milk-carrying tubes), then spreads to the nipple surface and the areola (the dark circle of skin around the nipple). The skin of the nipple and areola often appears crusted, scaly, and red, with areas of bleeding or oozing. The woman may notice burning or itching. The unusual changes in the nipple and areola are often the first indication that breast cancer is present. Paget's disease of the nipple accounts for less than 5% of all breast cancer cases in the United States. Being aware of the symptoms is important, given that more than 97% of people with Paget's disease also have ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or, more often, infiltrating ductal carcinoma somewhere else in the breast. Paget's disease of the nipple is more common in women, but like other forms of breast cancer, it can also affect men. The disease usually develops after age 50. According to the National Cancer Institute, the average age of diagnosis in women is 62, and in men, 69. Treatment often requires mastectomy. If only DCIS is found (with no invasive cancer) when the breast is removed, the outlook is excellent. Mixed TumorsMixed tumors contain a variety of cell types, such as invasive ductal cancer combined with invasive lobular breast cancer. In this situation, the tumor is treated as if it were an invasive ductal cancer. Triple-Negative Breast CancerThis term is used to describe breast cancers (usually invasive ductal carcinomas) whose cells lack estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors, and do not have an excess of the HER2 protein on their surfaces. Breast cancers with these characteristics tend to occur more often in younger women and in African-American women. Triple-negative breast cancers tend to grow and spread more quickly than most other types of breast cancer. Because the tumor cells lack these certain receptors, neither hormone therapy nor drugs that target HER2 are effective against these cancers (but chemotherapy can still be useful if needed). Metaplastic CarcinomaMetaplastic carcinoma is a very rare type of invasive ductal cancer. These tumors include cells that are normally not found in the breast, such as cells that look like skin cells (squamous cells) or cells that make bone. These tumors are treated like invasive ductal cancer. Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (adenocystic carcinoma)These cancers have both glandular (adenoid) and cylinder-like (cystic) features when seen under the microscope. They make up less than 1% of breast cancers. They rarely spread to the lymph nodes or distant areas and they tend to have a very good prognosis.

Sonja Bata has scoured the world for footwear of every description
Sonja Bata was born in Switzerland, where she studied architecture. In 1946 she married Thomas J. Bata, the son of a well-known Czechoslovakian shoe manufacturer who had emigrated to Canada at the beginning of World War II. His family enterprise in Czechoslovakia had been nationalized under the Communist occupation. From the beginning, Sonja Bata shared her husband's determination to rebuild the organization and took an active interest in what was to become a global footwear business.
Over the years, she grew increasingly fascinated by shoes, their history and the reasons why specific shapes and decorative treatments had developed in different cultures. During her travels, she realized that some traditional forms were being replaced with western shoes, reflecting changing lifestyles to some extent influenced by the production of the spreading Bata factories serving local markets.
Since the 1940s, Sonja Bata has scoured the world for footwear of every description, from the most ordinary to the most extraordinary. Her combined interest in design and shoes has led to a very personal collection, with examples from many cultures and historic periods.
Her strong belief that in a democratic country citizens should actively contribute their talents to community needs is reflected in her many philanthropic activities. She has been active in many volunteer organizations in the educational, health and environmental fields, including: Chairman, National Design Council; Honourary Chairman, World Wildlife Fund Canada (Chairman 1983–1985); Governor, Junior Achievement of Canada (Chairman 1985–1988); Chairman, Governor's Council of North York General Hospital; The Council for Canadian Unity; The Council for Business and the Arts in Canada; and Founding Chairman of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. In addition, Mrs. Bata has served on a number of business boards including Alcan Aluminum, Canada Trust, and the Canadian Commercial Corporation.
Honours awarded to Sonja Bata include: Officer of the Order of Canada, Honourary Doctor of Laws, Honourary Doctor of Humane Letters and Honourary Captain (N). An edited list of her awards includes: Shoe Person of the Year, 1985; Woman of the Year, North York Chamber of Commerce, 1992; McClure International Service Award, 1991; Canadian Business Hall of Fame, 1991; CESO Award for International Development, 1990; B'Nai Brith Humanitarian Award, 1984; and Silver Medal of the United Nations Environmental Programme, 1982.

Hays residents of all ages rally to help ill toddler

It seemed as normal a routine as any for a parent of an 18-month-old as Frank Medina lifted his daughter, Olivia, into her high chair one day last week.
Then it was Trey's turn, then Chloe's.
One, two, three. Now, this seemed normal for the Hays man, a father of young triplets who were ready to eat lunch.
But it was far from it. "Normal" took a severe curve for the family Aug. 29, when Medina and his wife, Renee, learned Chloe had acute myeloid leukemia.
Now, Frank and Chloe spend 28-day stretches at Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora, where Chloe undergoes chemotherapy treatments.
Meanwhile, Renee stays home to care for Chloe's siblings -- the pair that shares her same birthday of March 29, 2012, and her older sister, 9-year-old Michaela. On weekends, Mom drives Michaela in the family van for the five-hour drive to Colorado.
Dad and Chloe get to come home for about a week at a time every 28 days, and during their time in Colorado, they keep in touch with the family by FaceTime on their cell phones and Skype on the computer.
The Medinas know this is their new normal for the next several months. Chloe's present treatment schedule will be monitored with bone marrow biopsies, and there is a possibility she will need a bone marrow transplant.
"They can't tell us if this (treatment) is going to work until it's done," Frank said.
While dealing with a critically ill child can be draining on families -- physically, mentally, emotionally and financially -- people back home are letting the Medinas know they are not alone in their fight.
Frank has been a custodian at Hays Middle School for the past year and a half, and before that, he worked a similar job at Hays High School.
Staff and students at those two schools got together last month to help one of their own.
Jessica Dale, student council sponsor at the middle school, gave the Medinas a big surprise -- a pleasant one this time -- informing the family last week the schools had raised more than $8,000 for travel and other incidental expenses.
"Each year, we try to do some type of community service," Dale said. "This is a Hays girl; if it hits home to these kids, it means more."
Jeanie Michaelis, business teacher at Hays High, headed up the fundraiser in her building with her leadership class and was "blown away" by the response.
Each teacher put a cup on the desk in his or her classroom, and "we were going to pick them up once a week or every three days," Michealis said.
Michaelis soon realized the money would need to be collected daily. HHS raised $1,000 in a three-day span and accounted for $4,000 of the total amount.
"I couldn't believe the caring spirit," Michaelis said. "Some people didn't even know who (the Medinas) were, but contributed anyway. They just saw there was a family in need."
Renee's employer, Amphenol/Adronics in Hays, has chipped in as well with internal fundraisers for the family.
A friend of Renee's, Jessamyn Garrison, has sponsored a bake sale and is in charge of selling orange "Courage for Chloe" bracelets and spearheading a Dec. 13 benefit concert at the Golden Q in Hays. Bracelets can be purcahsed by emailing Garrison at email@example.com. T-shirts also can be purchased through Nov. 24 at www.booster.com/courageforchloe.
A fund has been set up at the Sunflower Bank in Hays, where people can contribute to the "Chloe Medina Medical Fund."
The $8,000-plus raised at HMS and HHS, coupled with nearly $750 collected at a benefit night at Freddy's Frozen Custard, brought the total to almost $8,700.
That really will help once Frank's sick leave and vacation run out. When that happens, he plans to work at least two weeks a month and trade off time at the hospital with his wife.
Starting Friday, Michaela won't be able to accompany her mom to the hospital, which because of flu season allows only those 12 years and older to visit for the next few months.
The funds raised will give Renee the chance to fly, rather than drive, to Denver, giving her more time with Chloe.
Chloe's grandparents on both sides of the family are able to help. Renee's parents, Robert and Lois Dreher, live in Hays, and Frank's mom, Maria Medina, lives in Weskan.
Still, there is a lot of juggling with schedules, and "there are a lot of ups and downs," Renee admitted.
Knowing there are so many people helping in any way they can back home lightens their load a little, she said.
"So many people showing support," Renee said, "it means a lot."

You're one step closer to paradise...
When I think of hiking, I think of trees and hills and the great outdoors. I think of national parks and wildlife and long drives.
I don't think of concrete stairs, tunnels and hand rails. I don't think of an urban setting.
And, yet, I always descend Diamond Head with a smile on my face. It's not the accomplishment of physical exertion that puts a skip in my step. It's the payoff--like rounding the trail and seeing Yosemite Falls. The view from atop Diamond Head is one of the best in the state, but, it, too, isn't what you'd expect. No waterfalls greet you. No according folds of unending cliffs. No ropey twines of lava. I can describe it for you here, but I'd rather you experience it for yourself. Or, you can watch our newest video here. Spoiler alert: There are views from the summit. But it's still very much worth seeing it for yourself.
Happy trails.

Warwick Soccer Association: Players & Parents
Player Resources
Training Resources
Parents Resources
Public Fields & Parking Lots Policy
The Warwick Soccer Association maintains a no smoking, no alcohol and no abusive language for all fields, for both practices and games.
Please keep all pets off of playing fields.
Please pick up all trash after the game.
Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please report any violations of this policy to your coach or age division coordinator.
Weather Cancellation Policy
Games at Bend Street, Mickey Stevens, Belmont Park and North Country Club (currently inactive) are covered by the following policy and procedures for game cancellations due to weather or field conditions.
Bend Street and Mickey Stevens are controlled by the Warwick Parks & Recreation Department. The parks department will notify the association when the fields at Bend Street and Mickey Stevens are closed due to weather or field conditions. WSA will make every effort to notify all those involved by posting the information on our web site, mass e-mail to families, and by notifying the age level coordinators and coaches. In the case where WSA is not notified by the parks department and the weather or field conditions are a factor, the association head referees will make a determination if the fields are playable. Any games cancelled due to weather or field conditions in the u12-u15 divisions will normally be rescheduled, if possible, before the end of the season.
Games at Belmont Park and North Country Club are under the control of the association and will be cancelled by the management team responsible for the u6-u10 age groups, based on weather or field conditions. Again, any games cancelled due to weather or field conditions will be posted on our web site, and notice will be forwarded to the families, coordinators and coaches. Games in the u6-u10 age group are non-results oriented and are not usually rescheduled.
Parents Code of Conduct
As a
soccer parent/spectator, I promise to:
1. Set examples, children have more need for example than criticism.
2. Attempt to relieve the pressure of competition, not increase it.
A child is easily affected by outside influences.
3. Be kind to my child's coach and officials. The coach is a
volunteer, giving of her or his personal time and money to provide a
recreational activity for my child.
4. Remember that the opponents are necessary friends, without them
my child could not participate.
5. Applaud good play by my team and by members of the opposing team.
6. Not openly question an official's judgement and honesty.
Officials are symbols of fair play, integrity, and sportsmanship.
7. Accept the results of each game. Encourage my child to be
gracious in victory, and to turn defeat into victory by working towards
8. Remember my child is involved in organized sports for their
enjoyment--not mine.
9. Encourage my child to always play by the rules. Teach my
child that honest effort is as important as victory so that the result of each
game is accepted without undue disappointment.
10. Support all effort to remove verbal and physical abuse from my
child's sporting activities.
11. Remember that soccer is a team sport. Encourage my child to work
with his or her teammates. Avoid giving special rewards to my child for
scoring. No one player wins or loses a game.
12. Promote the positive, fun aspects of participation in the
Red Flags for Parents
A parent who is continuing to live personal athletic dreams through his/her
child: Has not released his/her child to the game.
If a parent tends to share in the credit when the child victorious: He/She is
too involved.
Trying Too Hard: When a parent is trying to continue to coach his child when
the child probably knows more about the game than the parent does.
A parent should realize that he/she is taking everything too seriously
• He/she is nervous before the child's game.
• He/she has a difficult time bouncing back after a loss.
• He/she makes mental notes during a game to better explain the conclusion.
• He/she becomes verbally critical of an official.
Six Tips
for Parents
lot of soccer parents with good intentions give a 30 minute lecture, giving
playing advice in the car on the way to each game. The kids arrive far off
their optimal mental state, and dreading the critique they are likely to hear,
whether they want it or not, on the way home. Kids who are communicated in
this way tend not to play badly, they just tend to not play, possibly to avoid
making mistakes.
For best results, parents should memorize and
use the following:
Before the match
I love you
Good luck
Have fun
After the match
I love you
It was great to see you play
What would you like to eat?
What exactly is "offsides"?

Possible WWE Royal Rumble *Spoiler*
By Ryan Gray | January 20, 2008
The latest WWE Magazine (with Jeff Hardy on the cover) includes an interview with the current Intercontinental Champion. The article includes photos that show Hardy bound in chains and underwater. You can clearly see in one of the photos that the background is inside of the elimination chamber.
Given this, some believe that Randy Orton will retain the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble next week and Hardy will be part of the Chamber match at No Way Out in February.

The guns package was negotiated privately by the governor and legislative leaders over the last several weeks, but was only completed late Monday; rank-and-file Senators had only a few minutes to read the legislation before voting on it. Mr. Cuomo, saying, "If there is an issue that fits the definition of necessity, I believe it's gun violence," waived the normal three-day waiting period between introduction of new legislation and a vote.

Lawyers Say DNA Evidence Clears Billy Glaze
Thursday, June 5, 2014
(Minneapolis, MN) -- Lawyers for Billy Glaze are calling for a new trial for the man convicted of the serial murders of Native American women in 1986 and 1987 in Minneapolis. They cite newly discovered DNA evidence that indicates the 70-year-old might not have been the killer. Glaze is serving three life sentences after being convicted in 1989.

I'm looking forward to seeing the debut of the Human Target TV series tomorrow night on FOX (before it moves into its Wednesday timeslot starting January 20). It's loosely based on the DC Comics character, starring Mark Valley (Boston Legal, Swingtown, Fringe) as bodyguard-for-hire Christopher Chance.
Mark Valley as the Human Target
I say "loosely based" because the main gimmick of the comic — that Chance was a genius impersonator, so he could take the place of the targets he was protecting without anyone knowing (thus the title) — has been dropped. (You can read a sample issue at the Vertigo website or buy the new collection.)
That's not surprising. When you have a good-looking action hero, you don't really want to keep changing his face (or having their role played by whoever is guest-starring that week). The supporting cast consists of Chi McBride (Pushing Daisies, Boston Public) and Jackie Earle Haley (most recently, Watchmen — he was Rorschach).
Jackie Earle Haley and Chi McBride co-star
After watching the trailer, I like some of the light-hearted aspects, when it doesn't take itself too seriously. Chance almost has a MacGyver-like creativity in escaping death. Plus, McBride's dry demeanor is always welcome.
Alan Sepinwall has a positive review. (He makes the significant observation, "Valley's also an Army veteran who knows how to properly fight and hold a gun.") On the other hand, Don MacPherson didn't like it, calling it too formulaic and citing "low production values". I don't think we're looking for the same things in this show, and I like Valley much more than he apparently does. I just hope that Fox supports this more than they did their last few science fiction attempts.
This isn't the character's first time on TV, by the way. In the early 90s, he was played by Rick Springfield in seven episodes. In that version, they did keep the disguise aspect, making it high-tech (for the time, anyway). I've never seen any of the episodes (OMG, it's Richard Belzer!) — I'm curious about them, but I'm probably better off.
I'm looking forward to this too, as it looks exciting but fun too.
Am I the only one that gets Mark Valley and Colin Ferguson (star of Eureka) confused? They have such similar physical traits.
I thought the previous Human Target TV show was pretty good, all things considered. It was by the same guys who did the short-lived Flash series, and they managed to keep the "master of disguise" element, while still giving Chance a lot of face time.
I was initially turned off by this new version, simply because they ditched the one thing that made it so unique — the impersonation angle. I mean, why spend the money to option a property that most people have never heard of if you're going to completely ditch its most distinctive trait? But I really like Mark Valley, and over the last few months I've started actually looking forward to this one. In fact, I'm a little concerned that I've raised my expectations a bit too high. Hopefully I haven't.
James: I find it funny that you get Mark Valley and Colin Ferguson confused, because I feel that way about Mark Valley and Joel Gretsch (of The 4400 and the V remake). I enjoy both actors, but they sometimes feel interchangeable to me.
I find I run into that problem — having too much information ahead of time, creating too many expectations — more and more often as the volume on everything has increased. Yet if they don't do it, it gets lost in the crush.
For once, Canadians got a bonus and saw the pilot last Friday. No spoilers, but I enjoyed it. It's nice to have an episodic action series that doesn't worry about long, detailed storylines.
(I was also a fan of the 1992 series, and still have six of the seven episodes on deteriorating VHS)
[…] TV adaptations run the gamut from my beloved, departed Middleman to the wearing-out-its-welcome Human Target to the now-casting Walking Dead zombie thriller. Then there are shows that are just like comics. […]

Builder Spec or MR Direct Sink? Experience?
In about a month I'll need a sink and like others here was planning on the Ticor S405D double undermount stainless steel sink. Well, its been out of stock for a long time, though promised for February 1. But Galaxy had said it would be available for Thanksgiving, and then for the New Year and now it has been removed from their website altogether. It's wise, I think, to make other plans.
Both Builder Spec and MR Direct have 16 ga. sinks with almost identical measurements to the Ticor and at even more attractive prices. MR Direct's price is almost too good to be true and says their sinks are UPC certified (whatever that means--anyone know?).
Has anyone used a sink from either of these on line sellers?
I haven't installed or used my MR Direct sink yet, but I had a really good experience ordering from them and receiving it in a timely fashion, etc.
I will say that I ordered a $65 sink, but after the sink grid and shipping and all that the total came to $109 - so the extras were almost as much as the sink itself.
UPC is Uniform Plumbing Code. Different regions follow different codes. Our area follows the UPC, but some areas go by the IPC (International Plumbing Code).
Thank you Kevin. You have a lot of credibility on this board and may have solved what I thought was a real problem. The MRDirect sink with the same accessories will cost about $50 less than the Ticor.
I know that UPC stands for Uniform Plumbing code, but does anyone know what they actually test a stainless steel sink for to receive the certification?
I'm no expert on sinks, especially not the expensive brands.
Long story short, when searching for a stainless undermount sink, I ended up ordering two. I got a Ticor from overstock.com and another one from MRdirect. After receiving both of them, I found them to be pretty much equal in quality. With the MRdirect costing about $110 vs. the Ticor costing about $170.
I ended up keeping the MRdirect and selling the Ticor on craigslist. Since installing it, it has performed as expected and seems like a steal at $110!!
This makes me so happy. I was looking for a reasonable bar sink and bathroom sink and if these are of decent quality, then I'm sold. Thanks for the tip to look there and especially for the vote of confidence, because I likely would have written them off as 'budget' (and not in the good within my budget sense, more like the cheap/won't last sense)
I can help enlighten on the UPC and certification. In the USA there is NO i repeat NO regulation on stainless steel sinks. That being said, typically prices to good to be true ARE. What happens is most of the companies are Brokers and do NOT manufacture and are at the mercy of the importer to bring them in quality. Problem arises when the factory, to save money, switches stainless you wouldn't know if you were getting 16ga or thinner cheaper 18ga or they claim 304 stainless and product is lesser grade that WILL rust. Yes i am in the industry and i give no brand name, however i can tell you there is independent testing to satisfy this claim. UPC is a company that certifies products, however once again there are many loopholes as the manufacture picks the sinks they send to be certified. Rule of thumb stick with a name brand - do a little research and by all means ask if the company is a true manufacturer. Be leery of companies not willing to put themselves in the public eye EX. advertising etc. Also be leery of any companies the DO NOT put logos into the sink, this is an good indication the sink is most likely not certified. Remember you cut the hole you own the hole. You cant go back and change a sink in granite. BUYER BEWARE. This isn't the place to skimp all though most do. See you tube video below from Designing spaces on how to choose a kitchen sink
Here is a link that might be useful: Designing Spaces
We were going to get a Kraus stainless sink (before we decided on Silgranit). Several GW people have them and report satisfaction, and their photos looked great. I liked the specs too and the free grate and strainer. I've heard good things about MR Direct too. If you are looking for a certain shape or size and MR doesn't have it check the Kraus models. Expressdecor sells them and often offers 5% -15% coupons. We bought a Kraus faucet there and love it. We saw they offer deals where you buy a Kraus faucet and sink together and save a lot of money.
Regarding brand-name stainless sinks like Kohler, Blanco and Franke - those companies source their stainless from the same places the brands like Ticor Kraus and MR do. Many of the Kohler, Blanco and Franke sinks are made in China, which I am not saying is a bad thing. Only that I object to them charging several times more money for them.
As a spokesman for MR Direct, I would like to briefly elaborate on the UPC certification our industry awards. The Uniform Plumbing Code is the actual list of specifications and guidelines that must be adhered to in order to be certified by the IAPMO. That acronym stands for the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, who many in our industry are familiar with.
IAPMO verifies that all plumbing and mechanical devices are compliant with national and international plumbing codes and standards like the UPC. They are accredited by a parent-like association known as the American National Standards Institute or ANSI who actually creates the norms and guidelines (like UPC) for numerous industries in the U.S.
Although being listed by these associations is not a recommendation of the product, it is a prized accomplishment for any manufacturer since it definitively states that the product has met all recognized industry standards. All MR Direct products are in compliance.
We encourage you to shop around and compare specs, prices and certifications. We are confident that you will find MR Direct to be offering an outstanding product at an affordable price, certified by several authorities.

As soon as news broke of Democratic advisor Hilary Rosen' criticized Ann Romney by saying she has "never worked a day in her life," comments started pouring into Twitter.
While some came to the defense of Rosen, overwhelmingly, the sentiment was that she was out of line for saying Romney, a mother of five, hasn't worked.

8 Instant Energizers
Perk up by doing one of these easy activities
By Amy F. Brightfield
Special Offer
When you think "more energy," one of the first things that comes to mind is probably "more sleep." Yes, getting six to eight hours of shut-eye nightly is key to helping you feel rested and raring to go. But there are also quick little things you can do throughout the day that go a long way toward boosting your energy.
1. Have a glass of sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice. The juice has carbs, which give you energy, explains Karen Ansel, RD, an American Dietetic Association spokeswoman and WD adviser. You're also helping fight dehydration, which can cause fatigue.
2. Sit up straight. It pays to listen to Mom: Slouching or being misaligned causes your muscles to work harder and exert more energy, says Frank Lipman, MD, author of Spent: End Exhaustion and Feel Great Again. Take a few minutes every two hours to drop your shoulders and make sure you're not slouching or straining your neck and shoulders.
3. Eat a handful of trail mix that contains dried fruit, nuts and seeds. It's the perfect combo of quickly released energy (the fruit) and slowly released energy (the nuts/seeds), says Ansel.
4. Stop checking e-mail so often. We're all so connected these days that most of us don't multitask with technology: We stop whatever we're doing to check voice mail or e-mail when we hear the bling or bleep of a new incoming message. And that can be draining. Instead of snapping to attention every time you get a new message, set aside five to 10 minutes every hour to check them.
5. Take a breather. Literally. Place both feet flat on the floor, lay your hands in your lap, close your eyes and take three minutes to feel your feet touching the floor while you pay close attention to your breath as you inhale and exhale, recommends Dr. Lipman. This helps dissipate stress, which is a big energy zapper.
6. Walk a quick, brisk lap around your office or house. This will help blood flow to your muscles and brain, giving your whole body a good dose of energizing oxygen.
7. Sniff some peppermint. One study found that people did tasks like typing and alphabetizing faster and more accurately after they smelled peppermint oil. Try keeping a peppermint-scented candle at your desk or anywhere you spend a lot of time and need to be alert.
8. Eat a few squares of dark chocolate. It contains mood-boosting compounds that'll refresh you, says Ansel. Who can argue with that?

Gay Dude Kills Himself Because Obama Won
Miami – A Key West man who told his partner that "if Barack gets re-elected, I'm not going to be around" was found dead on Nov. 8, with the words "F— Obama!" scrawled on his will and two empty prescription bottles nearby. Henry Hamilton, 64, owner of Tropical Tan off Duval Street, was "very upset about the election results," his partner Michael Cossey told Police Officer Anna Dykes. Police spokeswoman Alyson Crean said a cause of death is awaiting autopsy results from the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office but said, "There's absolutely no evidence of foul play." According to Dykes' report, Cossey returned to the South Roosevelt Boulevard condo he shared with Hamilton after a late night of playing cards with friends and fell asleep on the couch around 6 a.m. A friend of Hamilton had been worried about him and had a standing request to police to make welfare checks. Officer Pablo Rodriguez did just that and when he went to the condo, he woke up Cossey, prompting the discovery of Hamilton's body in the bedroom. Dykes reported finding two empty prescription bottles, one for Xanax and one for Seroquel, used to treat anxiety and schizophrenia, respectively.
Mitt Romney has gotta be sitting at home drinking a non-alcoholic beverage just slamming his head against the wall right now. There are freaking gay people out there committing suicide because Obama is president and he still couldn't win this election. Only thing worse than that would be a black guy offing himself over 4 more years of Obama. The economy plummets the day after he's elected and not even gay people are happy but he's the president for the next 4 years. Sucks to suck, Mitt! Maybe if your people weren't fucking lunatics talking about how rape babies are a gift from God you coulda won.
PS – When I saw the term "welfare check" in that article I almost lost it. Thought it was gonna be a gay dude on welfare that killed himself over Obama and it would have been hands down the most ironic blog of all time.

Force India are optimistic that their 2012 car, the VJM05, will be ready in time for next month's first test of the year. After completing the FIA crash tests before the Christmas break, the Silverstone-based team are well on schedule to join their rivals at Februarys opening session.
In a change to the rules for 2012, the sports governing body specified that all new cars must pass every crash test before taking to the track, which prompted Force India to ready their new car earlier than they have done traditionally.
Were on schedule, thats the good news! explained technical director Andrew Green to the Force India website. Its been a little bit tougher this year, having to homologate the chassis prior to testing. So there was a little bit of extra planning involved to get that sorted. There were a lot of fingers crossed! Youre hoping everything does what all the analysis says it should have done.
Its always nice when you reel off the tests one-by-one without any dramas at all. Its a real credit to everybody. It was a different schedule, a different plan, compared to last year. Everything went to schedule, so we went into the holidays very relaxed that wed got all that signed off. Everyone could go away and have a good break over the New Year knowing that we were ready to go!
Force India began work on their new challenger in the summer. But the teams close battle with Toro Rosso in the 2011 championship meant that they couldnt fully focus on the VJM05 until the last race of the season, which must make their crash test success even more satisfying.
We started working on it back in June, and the first wind tunnel tests were around July, said Green. We took it out of the tunnel for one week after August just to do an upgrade for VJM04. It was such a close 2011 season, fighting where we were fighting in those last few races. We didnt know which way it was going to go.
We werent really anticipating such a strong response from Toro Rosso near the end of the season - they seemed to have a reasonable upgrade around Suzuka time. Its quite unusual for a team to come up with such a huge change so late in the season. So the concentration was right until the last race in Brazil. You could say that, from that point on, its been 100 percent focus on the new car for us.
Despite this late start, the fact the team managed to pass the crash tests successfully means they have time to carry out preparations, including extensive rig testing and a more detailed car build, which usually get squeezed out of the January schedule. So with so much still to do, the Silverstone factory is a hive of activity.
Theres always a buzz around when its happening, concluded Green. Ive been looking at the car in its model form for a while now. But for a lot of people when it comes together will be the first time theyve seen it. Its always an exciting time when the car fires up for the first time, and its been born!
It is a busy time for us, and theres a huge unknown as well. We dont know how well weve done over the winter compared to our competitors, and thus theres a bit of anxiety just waiting to see what everyone else comes up with. So theres that side of it too.
Green and the rest of the team, however, wont have too long to wait, with the first pre-season test scheduled to get underway at the Spanish circuit of Jerez in just under a month from February 7-10.

Heya Grey, didn't see you there :P
----------- I'm enclosing two links so you guys can see what I'm talking about when I say that there's pixellation/blurring in the Chinese version of the app. Pictures on the left are from the English version, while pictures on the right are from the Chinese version. View from behind - look at the grooves in the armour and the lighting in particular. Also pay attention to how some of the textured scratches on the armour are blurrier. View from the front -- again, pay attention to the grooves and the glowing parts of the armour, but also look at the texture on the Laser Cannon -- it's INCREDIBLY blurry for whatever reason.

You see, there is NO segregation it appears to be a shock to most of us (me included.) Go to settings app. Then to location setttings (may be different on your ios I don't know) and see that star warfare isn't there. So we must just be doing something wrong... |
The other thing is that the Chinese version of the game has a completely separate GC leaderboard and achievements: at a glance, it looks like hacking is much less prevalent on that side than its English counterpart. For all we know, Freyr might be using the Chinese version to trial some non-gameplay implementations using a smaller sample of users before deciding whether to implement any hidden coding over on the English side... ---------- Hmm, I don't agree with you on there being "no segregation" based on what you observed from the "Location Services" thing -- recall that we've tried to play alongside several people in this thread (Arrow0x, Fro5tClown) and that we were NOT able to see them on the match lobby, despite being dead certain that we were online at the same time. See, what I believe is that it's not the Star Warfare app itself that's causing the segregation -- the app never had access to our location services to begin with. I believe it's probably the IP address we're logged in from (e.g. your wireless modem, or your 3G connection), because there should be some sort of geographic identifier in them. What I believe is that it's the servers being used by the game (which is a set of hardware and software separate and distinct from the game installed on our devices itself) that's segregating us based on the geographic location of our IP addresses. Now, the thing with this theory: this would imply that if one knew how to rig their IP address to appear to be from another country, you might be able to bypass the filter, if this is how the segregation is actually working. I don't know how to do that to an entire modem though, because I only know how to use proxy sites via web browsers... Last edited by undead.exe; 11-22-2012 at 11:20 AM.. |
Or, more realistically, google is your friend. |
Your IP (internet protocol) address is assigned to you by your ISP (internet service provider), so using a router bought from Asia wouldn't quite cut it -- your ISP is essentially giving your computer an "address" for other computers to talk to. (Yeah, I actually looked on Google before posting the next chunk of text, most of what I'm finding seem to be proxy servers which operate via websites or through a browser rather than completely streaming all of your modem's outbound traffic through it) Surfing the web while masking your IP is easy enough, because you can simply access a website which acts as a proxy, or you can otherwise make your browser access the net a proxy server. Seeing how the iDevices seem to directly access your modem though, sounds more like you'd need to do something with your actual firewall or port settings to trick every external service you're accessing into thinking you're in another country, as opposed to doing it from a single browser... Sheinfell, you seem fairly well versed with IT -- do you know if any of this is accurate or possible? (No need to tell us how to do it if there are legal/ethical issues attached to it, I'm sorta going by a combination of logic, observation and blind guesswork here >.>) Last edited by undead.exe; 11-22-2012 at 12:55 PM.. |
IP-masking etc.
Well, I work in IT for quite a few years now And I like being a Jack-of-all-Trades, knowing something of everything, instead of being specialised in a narrow field.
You got it essentially right, undead. And no, per se there is nothing illegal (hhmm, maybe in restrictive countries) or unethical about it, as long as you do not use those techniques to shroud a computercrime. But then, if you want to do that, I better do not have to explain this to you For the record: Firewalls and Ports don't have anything to do with it. I am rather ill, so instead of explaining those I just tell you to go look it up on Wikipedia Your ISP gives you an IP-address from its range, and that IP is what "teh Internet" sees of you. Mostly the IP is assigned to your router/modem, and not to your machine. If you configured something like "all my gadgets get an address 192.168.2.X" in your router, then you already know what I am talking about. Your router acts as a proxy for all your devices, with your devices being in a private network behind the router (the IP range 192.168.X.X is called "private range" for that reason). These days, with simply not enough IP addresses available anymore for every device, it gets a bit more complicated: Similar to your router playing proxy for your devices, your ISP does the same with one of his "routers": Its gateways act as proxy for all the enduser devices that use the ISP. So it needs just a few IP addresses to serve thousands of customers. For finding out where you are located, the easiest way is to go by the registered location of the address (range) owner. E.g. for Google.com's IP you get "Mountain View, California" . If your IP address belongs to an ISP located in Singapore or in the Netherlands, it is quite likely that you are there as well. How for example location-based advertisement to your computer figures out where (more or less) exactly you are, I would have to read up first. Now, for IP masking: The best known masking service is most likely the TOR network, which routes you through several proxies to anonymise you as far as possible. There also are services that provide you with location-specific IPs, at least for the US: I know this because I once wanted to watch Syfy-Channel, and that one only works with an US IP. Masking directly in your router: Now, this could get a bit difficult. At least the standard consumer routers/modems we have here in Europe do not offer much in terms of fancy functionality. Stuff like TOR usually uses clients on your computer, and does not interface directly with your router. Your best bet is most likely to run the whole thing in software, with additional plugins that allow you to "hardwire" something like using TOR or a location-specific IP provider. But on that I would have to read up first as well; I am not a network engineer after all Last edited by Sheinfell; 11-23-2012 at 03:59 AM.. |
Yeah, I brought up the illegal/unethical point because anonymity can be quite a powerful tool, but I have zero interest in trying to invade anyone's privacy or otherwise commit some kind of computer crime: what interests me about all of this is that this may actually be a way for players in Asia to circumvent the geographical segregation and actually play with everyone else -- though that'd be an awful lot of trouble to go through for only one game :/ ...unless, of course, this doesn't apply only to this particular game. I've been wondering for a while whether this has to do with China's strict censorship laws, except from what I'm reading, they simply block channels that they don't like when they find them, as opposed to having everything blocked by default -- that doesn't sound like a terribly efficient approach to the internet... |
this page is awesome.
don't think I can do so much just to play with Americans though... still, thanks Sheinfell! |
I'm still looking into it, but there might be a way to set it up so that only your iDevice is using a proxy, rather than your whole modem: turns out there are some interesting Settings options under wireless networks and something called "VPN Settings" or something or rather...

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 3
Posted By: MaryDate: February-12, 1998 at 16:50:05
I created a foodlist that incorporates both my husband and my diet (2 blood types) that is small enough to slip in my wallet and take to the grocery store. I refer to it every time I shop so I thought I'd pass the idea along to those interested. First I copied all the food lists for my blood type from the book. I then cut and pasted them together on 8-1/2x11 paper (one column per page but often combining 2 food groups per page, as they fit). I then took this to a copier that reduced it in size by 50%. This gave me typed words that fit on about a quarter of a sheet of paper. I then cut off the excess paper and stapled the lists together (about 9 pages, one-sided). To add my husband's info in, I highlighted in yellow all his "highly beneficial" foods, and put red dots by his "avoids". When folded in half lengthwise this is smaller than a dollar bill and fits nicely in my wallet. When deciding on what foods to buy I can easily pull this out and see if it's OK for both of us. I also handwrote the number of servings per day or week for both of us on the sheet to help figure out if I'm balancing the meals. It took some investment of time, but it also served to help me learn both of our diets a bit more than before.

But my friend who gets me the oxy, told me that his hook-up said that some opana is in town. I never tried oxymorphone, but from what I read its stronger than oxycodone.
My questions are:
1. Is it worth it to get some oxymorphone? Cuz I got to the point that oxy wasnt do shit at all, I was getting itchy as hell but barely high.
2. Another problem is that where Im at, opiates are hard as hell 2 find. I might not be able to get opana ever again. Should I jump on these??
3. What about mixing with oxycodone?
4. What would be a good starting dosage for opana for someone who needs atleast 80mg of oxycodone to feel decent.
5. What dosages do they come in, and what is the average price?
6. Is it like dilaudid (hydromorphone)? cuz I read dilaudid is pretty wack orally and even intranasally, and you gotta bang it to feel its effects good. I got needle-phobia so I cant bang anything even if I wanted.
Sorry, I know its a lot of questions, but just the name oxymorphone sounds so enticing, that I might quit on my opiate break LOL. Just once to try opana.
Thanks for the help!!

You might as well give it a try though, I am sure it gives a pretty good high. However, if oxy wasn't doing the trick for you, pretty much nothing will. (except for shooting up highly potent opiates i.e heroin, dilaudid, etc.) which you definitely do not want to be doing--and seem like you know that.
I do have to ask though--it took you 80 mgs of oxycodone to get high and you just quit? That's crazy dude, back when I did alot of oxy and had a tolerance--I still got pretty high off like 30-40 mg's, and when I quit I went through withdrawals. Still do oxy occasionally, maybe a once or twice a month--and 10 or 15mg gets me nice!
I'm not sure what your motivation for quitting is--but if its just solely because it wasnt "doing it" for you anymore, then now after your 2 week break it will most definitely do it for your again. Maybe not like the first time but certainly very close, as your tolerance has plummeted.
I'm not advising you to start doing oxy again especially if you quit because you felt like it was having negative effects (which it almost always eventually does), but if youre looking to get an opiate high, oxycodone is probably a better alternative to oxymorphone. But give it a try and let us know.
Posted June 25 2008 - 06:23 PM
Yeah Im thinking about getting some, I wanna hear from someone whos tried it. Im gonna go check erowid experience vaults, to see what people say there.
And if possible, can someone answer questions 4 and 5. Thanks.

Opana ER (10,20,40mg)
- Intranasally, I actually prefer these to the IR pills. The high doesn't peak until about 15 minutes after insufflation, but it lasts a good 3-4 hours. Yes, it does gel up, but it doesn't gel up the same way that MS-Contin or Teva OC's do. Instead, the gelling up seems to help with the insufflation by extending the high over a much longer period of time. A good starting dose for an opiate-naive person would be 2.5-5mg. Anymore and there is a good chance of vomiting.
- Intravenously, well, there it can't be done, unfortunately. Some people have tried using Isopropyl alcohol, but I tried and it didn't work for me. I'm glad it didn't, because think about how bad that could be?
- Rectally, the ER works pretty well also, similar in strength to insufflation, but with a slightly longer duration, and a slightly different feel. Onset is about 30 minutes, and duration about 5-6 hours if you "evacuated" yourself well prior to using this method. It's also not a bad idea to do an enema 20 minutes or so before using the drug. Dosage is similar to insufflation.
- Orally, it's about as good as OxyContin that is twice the mg dosage, i.e. 10mg Opana ER is around the same as 20mg OxyContin. This is concerning analgesia and pain relief, not euphoria or recreational effects, which I did not try to achieve via this ROA with Opana or OxyContin (with the latter's time release intact). Starting dose is much safer to gauge orally; I'd say take what you can do orally in oxycodone IR and divide it by four.

just got informed that my link has Opana ER 40mg, the highest dosage available. So Im thinking of getting one, and I could probably get high like 2-3 times. Because I think I would need around 10mg each time, maybe a bit more.
ya man, i'd pounce if was you.
i was doing some reading on opana, and wow.
plus you got the hook on 40mg....
be like nike:D
Posted June 25 2008 - 09:45 PM
I have a lot of experience with Opana, both ER (insufflated) and IR (IV'd). Eating it is useless for euphoria, as bioavailability is around 10%. Snorting is closer to 40%. Believe it or not, the ER is actually the better pill for snorting, in my experiences (I have multiple empty 100-count pharmaceutical bottles of this stuff). It does have an anti-abuse "gel" mechanism, but unlike the gel that MS-Contin's and Teva OC's form, this is more of a "paste". When you snort it, it actually adheres to your nasal cavity better than the IR version, and seems to not only give a good high from a large portion hitting all at once, but the time release mechanism seems to remain slightly intact and keep you high for up to 6 hours off of one dosing.
Snorting, I would say that 10mg is equipotent to about an 80mg OC, seriously. I was up to snorting two or three of the 40mg ER's a day, and the withdrawals were far, far, far worse than any other opiate withdrawal and my tolerance seems permanently raised. Anyway, your opiate tolerance doesn't seem terribly high, so I would say start with 4-6mg. That much had my relatively opiate-naive friend's head in the toilet, and his completely opiate-naive girlfriend did 2-3mg and was vomiting for a couple hours. Don't underestimate this stuff.
OMG Im exited! Fuck man, I wanted to take a break from opiates, but I cant pass this chance up I think. Seriously, I' ll probably never be able to get oxymorphone again in my life, unless I break my spine or someshit like that, god forbid.

the Opana ER 40mgs are supposed to be orange hexagonal shaped pills right? It has an imprint on one side and 40 on the other, which indicated its 40mg. Am I correct?
be careful( i know you are ). have fun:D

but pills are pills, if you really want something beautiful and self destructive it should be heroin. dont start saying they're completely different too.
oxymorphones decent, its more mellow than oxycodone.
also, the not doing it for you anymore, might just be your tolerance???
Posted June 30 2008 - 01:07 AM
eh, they're alright, i still think morphine and dilaudid are better.
but pills are pills, if you really want something beautiful and self destructive it should be heroin. dont start saying they're completely different too.

what do you mean "more mellow"? I want something that will knock me out and make me nod out into another dimension.. lol
there's no rush...the first hour of the oxy high is not present, its just the spacey/noddy part.
I WOULD DEFF BUY THOSE THINGS, just to try another opiate, you gotta experience EVERYTHING life has to offer (every chemical anyway!)
Posted July 01 2008 - 09:26 AM
and does2, i am not at all going down that path, unless you're going along it already. because what really made me try heroin was a curiosity of all opiates, plus it is one of the cheapest drugs on the market and that i had already done almost every single hard opiate.
but yea, its another level away from pills.

Man, I done acid plenty of times, but shrooms it similar but again, holy fuckin shit, it was insane, Im in the alehouse seeing all the big ass plasma screens and lights everywhere, and I never tripped so hard.
Im at the alehouse with my dawgs cuz after a long night of crazy shit, niggas almost fighting over races, my dawg Kib jumpin out moving cars like we in the matrix, Im trippin on shrooms, and we gettin fucked up at the bar, this fool rome got blood all over his shirt, we diss the bartender cuz she started talkin shit about miami, sayin new york this new york that, bitch where the fuck you standin, getcho bitch ass back to NY if you gonna talk shit 2 some certified Dade county 1o4 Street reprezentatives. 305 till I die ma nigga
I cant describe tonight, even if I wrote a fuckin essay 6 pages long. Shrooms + beer + fights + OC80s + more beer + bar fights, p,lus a vidoe recorder caught the whole shit on tape. I swear my nigga gerard finna put all this crazy shit on youtube pretty soon. And in the midst of all my drunkness and trippin for my first time on shroooms, my boy comes up on some oc80s and sells em to me for $20 a pop. I only bought two cuz I only had 40 bucks on me, I just finished spending over a hunded at the bar, and then I trade him some bars for another 80.
all in all, im too fuckd up to keep typing, niggas who spent theur time reading this Im sorry, I just got home and its almost 7 in the mourning, ate a xanax bar, and finna knock the fuck out. Im happy my dawg Kib didnt get get hit by a car while bustin his matrix stunts.
yall niggas be easy, stay safe, have fun on your 4th of july, and rep yo set! 104street homies, all day errday! 1o4street kendall souf west MIAMI!
get yo dutch, get your 40, and smoke 1.

they look exactly like this:
I got 5 of them in total, for about $90 bucks and some bars.
What should I take in conjunction with an 80 to ensure maximum nodding? Like I said before, I love nodding in and out of consciousness. its the most blissfully euphoric experience..

Nobody ever does the uniform variation with jacket and it seemed the perfect add-on for the season
Technically once there's a jacket on, the giant bow on skirt shouldn't be there... but they did animate them together all of once in the Cursed Incense OAV, so totally happening
Also 3/4 circle skirts are really fun. Slightly less fabric than a full circle but still plenty to swish around

If a squeaking noise is heard while turning the steering wheel, the outer tie rod ends may be worn and should be replaced.
Problems for specific Ford Mustang years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 2000 Ford Mustang problems
Intake Manifold/Valve Cover Gaskets May Leak Oil
It is not uncommon for the intake manifold and/or valve cover gaskets to develop a coolant or oil leak. Leakage from the intake manifold may result in coolant in the engine oil. Coolant mixing with the engine oil severally impacts the lubrication ability of the oil. Internal engine may result if this condition is not repaired promptly.
Noise From Synchronizer Shaft Upper Bushing
The synchronizer shaft for the camshaft position sensor can cause a loud squeak or chirping noise due to failure of the upper bushing. The noise may be erratic and is usually present when the engine is warm.
Creak/pop noise when turning
A creak/pop noise while turning may mean that updated steering rack bushing tubes need to be installed.
Camshaft Sensor Magnet may Damage Synchronizers
The magnet for the camshaft position sensor may fall out of its mount and damage the synchronizers. This causes long crank times when starting the engine and may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. If this happens, both the magnets and the synchronizers need to be replaced.
No start and theft light flashing, due to damaged wiring.
the pins will pull out of the connector for the transceiver ring,the connector is under the dash right above where your shins are.the wires pull out due to tilting the steering wheel and not enough slack in the harness.
