If you haven't heard of her work you are in for a real treat. Some of the interactive works of Jen Lewin will be in Conway for ArtsFest 2013 – appropriately themed Shine! October 3 – 5th at UCA.
To give you a taste of what Jen's work is all about we've included a tidbit from her website jenlewinstudio.com about the Pool, which is pictured above and will be at UCA October 3 – 5th in Alumni Circle. Read on and be amazed.
POOL -verb = combine, amalgamate, blend, join forces, league, merge, put together, share (Roget's New Millennium™ Thesaurus -)
The Pool is an environment of giant, concentric circles created from interactive circular pads. By entering the pool, you enter a world where play and collaborative movement create swirling effects of light and color. Imagine a giant canvas where you can paint and splash light collaboratively.
The pool is composed of 106 interactive circular platforms placed in giant concentric circles. This arrangement can be as small as 40 feet x 40 feet (when compressed) or as large as 100 feet x 100 feet (when expanded.) All of the 106 pads communicate wirelessly and "listen" to each other in an organic network formed in the same way people interact. The Pool has no single master computer and does not use a router to route or control connections. Each pad is independent and simultaneously interacts and listens to its environment based on user feedback. Together, the 106 pads create complex, surprising, and unpredictable color arrays with their user participants.
By adding and subtracting light, individuals and groups of people are able to interact with The Pool in profound ways. The interaction varies dramatically depending on the number of individuals involved. This dynamic interaction between individuals and The Pool creates environments ranging from curious and playful with few participants to energetic and competitive with many participants.
Like a giant game of light "ping pong," the pool will have users running and jumping, adding, bouncing, and mixing light together.
Each Pad in The Pool senses the movements of a person. User inputs such as foot location, foot pressure, and speed are sensed by the pad surface. As a person moves, light ripples out to the surrounding pads. For example, by leaning left, a ripple of varying intensity starts in that direction. A stronger more deliberate lean could cause a ripple to jump rings and fill the entire Pool. Ripples vary in light strength, length (the number of pads this message propagates to), and color. Each person's ripple is unique. As ripples interact with other ripples, an infinite variety of colorful patterns emerge.
The Pool is composed of 106 pads. Each pad is 3 feet in diameter and 6 inches tall. In plan, The Pool can span anywhere between a 37-foot square (at a compressed scale) to a 75-foot square (at an expanded scale).
Each pad in The Pool is composed of a wireless Xbee Controller, a custom microcontroller, a sensor array, 24 RGB LEDs with full color mixing and fading control, and a durable, waterproof, polycarbonate mounded shell
Each Pad is created from an extremely durable, formed polycarbonate shell, created for outdoor use. The Pads are made for aggressive interaction and public use. Each Pad is also waterproof and can be placed outdoors in virtually any type of environment and on virtually any type of surface (even within very shallow water).
The Pool can run off of a single 110V AC household outlet, a solar array, or a simple, small, outdoor generator. Because the pool is a light installation it is best to operate it at night.
The Pool is large but simple to install. At full size, it can expand to 75 feet x 75 feet , or at its smallest size it can contract down to 37 feet x 37 feet. Installation involves setting each of the 120 Pool Pads down, applying power (via a power grid created for The Pool that requires 2 normal wattage household outlets), and turning The Pool on. The Pool is water and weather proof, and can be placed outdoors on almost any type of surface. When placed outdoors there are several methods for securing the Pool to the ground. When outside, the pool power cables (show in RED (left)) will need to be either trenched and buried under the ground, or covered (with sod, ground cover, or cable covers.) Each pad in The Pool communicates with its neighboring pads via a wireless xbee controller. No master computer or technical setup is required. The Pool configures its own network automatically.
The Pool was made possible through an Artist Grant from Burning Man.http://www.burningman.com/

Building a Linux IPv6 DNS Server
One output file is produced: /var/named/master/secv6.your.domain.signed. This file should be referenced by /etc/named.conf as the input file for the zone.
The remaining configuration files are localhost.zone (Listing 3), localhost.rev (Listing 4), secv6.rev (Listing 5) and secv6.int (Listing 6). The difference between reverse lookup zone files secv6.rev and secv6.int is that one can be specified using A6 strings (that do not need to be reversed in secv6.rev) and the other with reverse AAAA format addresses in secv6.int. For instance, ping6 can refer only to secv6.int domain because it does not support A6 format.
Listing 3. /var/named/master/localhost.zone
// localhost.zone Allows for local communications // using the loopback interface $TTL 86400 $ORIGIN localhost. @ 1D IN SOA @ root ( 42 ; serial (d. adams) 3H ; refresh 15M ; retry 1W ; expire 1D ) ; minimum 1D IN NS @ 1D IN A 127.0.0.1
Listing 4. /var/named/master/localhost.rev
// localhost.rev Defines reverse DNS lookup on // loopback interface $TTL 86400 $ORIGIN 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. @ IN SOA 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. hostmaster.secv6.your.domain. ( 42 ; Serial number (d. adams) 3H ; Refresh 15M ; Retry 1W ; Expire 1D ) ; Minimum NS ns.secv6.your.domain. MX 10 noah.ip6.your.domain. PTR localhost.
Listing 5. /var/named/master/secv6.rev
// secv6.rev Defines reverse lookup for secv6 // domain in A6 format $TTL 86400 $ORIGIN secv6.arpa. @ IN SOA secv6.arpa. hostmaster.secv6.your.domain. ( 2002011442 ; Serial number (yyyymmdd-num) 3H ; Refresh 15M ; Retry 1W ; Expire 1D ) ; Minimum NS ns.secv6.your.domain. MX 10 noah.your.domain. ; fec0:0:0:1::/64 $ORIGIN \[xfec0000000000001/64].secv6.arpa. \[x0250b7fffe1435d0/64] 1D IN PTR pc2.secv6.your.domain. \[x0250b9fffe000131/64] 1D IN PTR pc3.secv6.your.domain. \[x0250b7fffe143617/64] 1D IN PTR pc6.secv6.your.domain. \[x0250b7fffe1435c4/64] 1D IN PTR pc4.secv6.your.domain. \[x0250b7fffe14361b/64] 1D IN PTR pc5.secv6.your.domain. \[x0250b7fffe14365a/64] 1D IN PTR pc7.secv6.your.domain. \[x0250b9fffe00012e/64] 1D IN PTR pc1.secv6.your.domain.
Listing 6. /var/named/master/secv6.int
// secv6.int Defines reverse lookup for secv6 // domain in AAA format $TTL 86400 $ORIGIN secv6.int. @ IN SOA secv6.int. hostmaster.secv6.your.domain.

Once the installation and configuration steps are complete, you are ready to start the DNS dæmon on pc2. Named uses /etc/named.conf by default, although you can specify a different configuration file with the -c option if you want. Depending on where you installed the dæmon, enter:
pc2% /usr/local/sbin/named
One additional configuration step is needed on the machines within the IPv6 network: update /etc/resolv.conf (Listing 7) to contain the DNS server's IP address. It is important that the IP address is included and not the hostname of the DNS server, because this file is where the system looks to find the address of the DNS. In other words, if you specified the hostname of the DNS server here, how would the system know what IP address corresponds to the DNS' hostname?
Listing 7. /etc/resolv.conf on Client Machines
# To enable secv6 domain, start named on pc2 # and use this file as /etc/resolv.conf search secv6.your.domain nameserver fec0::1:250:b7ff:fe14:35d0
We use two simple methods of testing the setup. The first verifies that A6 addresses are enabled in the DNS server, and the second verifies that AAAA addresses are supported by the DNS server. The tests were performed on pc2. We present only the meaningful output here; otherwise the listing would be too long. For the first example, we use the DNS lookup utility dig to perform a lookup on secv6 domain in A6 format (Listing 8). We then perform a lookup in AAAA format (Listing 9). In both cases, we are not specifying an address to look up, thus our use of 0.0.0.0.
Listing 8. A6 DNS Query
pc2% dig 0.0.0.0 secv6.your.domain a6 ; <<>> DiG 9.1.0 <<>> 0.0.0.0 secv6.your.domain A6 [...] ;secv6.your.domain. IN A6 ;; ANSWER SECTION: secv6.your.domain. 86400 IN A6 0 fec0::1:250:b7ff:fe14:35d0 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: secv6.your.domain. 86400 IN NS ns.secv6.your.domain. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns.secv6.your.domain. 86400 IN A6 0 fec0::1:250:b7ff:fe14:35d0 ns.secv6.your.domain. 86400 IN AAAA fec0::1:250:b7ff:fe14:35d0
Listing 9. AAAA DNS Query
pc2% dig 0.0.0.0 secv6.your.domain aaaa ; <<>> DiG 9.1.0 <<>> 0.0.0.0 secv6.your.domain AAAA [...] ;secv6.your.domain. IN AAAA ;; ANSWER SECTION: secv6.your.domain. 86400 IN AAAA fec0::1:250:b7ff:fe14:35d0 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: secv6.your.domain. 86400 IN NS ns.secv6.your.domain. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns.secv6.your.domain. 86400 IN A6 0 fec0::1:250:b7ff:fe14:35d0 ns.secv6.your.domain. 86400 IN AAAA fec0::1:250:b7ff:fe14:35d0
For our second test, we include samples of an SSH session connection, first using an IPv6 address and then using an IPv6 hostname.
good overview

Problems with IPv6 DNS files
This article is interesting. Unfortunately, when I tried to apply the article, I encountered multiple typos in the listing files, which wasted a lot of time. For instance, Listing 1 is missing the closing }; for the options. Listings 3-6 use double-slash comments, which are errors in zone files. The zones "secv6.int" and "secv6.arpa" don't make sense. The lines that start with "IN" are missing significant whitespace. Eventually I gave up on these listings.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

oh come on even a junior would know your a community member do they?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this active forum posting thing. But from what I've noticed, there are some online couples. I'm not sure if they met here or not but that's not the point.
Question: What do you guys think of online dating? Can you take online relationships seriously? Do you trust your mates online given the open medium that is available?
Please feel free to enlighten me with your opinions. Thanks.
oh come on even a junior would know your a community member do they?
a friend of mine did this., the rest of us thought he was insane.., they coulld only communicate through phone and internet because they lived across country from each other.,
eventually we found out she was dating someone else while "dating" friend., so as far as loyalty goes, who knows?,./, i mean he was very serious about it., but in the end it didnt workout., they've been "together" for almost 2yrs before they ended it., i still think he's nuts, cuz hes talking to more girls again but in the opposite side of the countryXD., if by anymeans you can see in person who you are dating from time to time, its ok., but if you live far and you arent able to see them at all, that can deprive certain needs that will eventually be met without the other concent XD
im not totaly for it but its great to have a really "close" friend but not take it to a point where you know nothing is going to come of it., it just puts both sides in an awkward situation.,
i stick to local girls angel ^_^
Thank you sooo much Pyro Psycho>
they could at least walk or was it to cold for them to walk?
i dont have a prob with online dating cuz i have had several relationships. some were to see if this would even work and others i was very serious about. i am currently in a relationship right now. i completely trust my partner and they know this. if they ever try to trick me than they know that im serious about leaving them.
Why is everything so ****ing hard for me? Keep me down to what you think I should be! Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry? Keep on trying I'm not dying so easily!
are you even replying to the right topic??., stay on topic you , or very least explain what you are trying to say XDOriginally Posted by hellknight
Thank you sooo much Pyro Psycho>
am saying if they live acroos countrys could they at least walk to see each other?
I'm not 2 bothered abt it. I mean it would be great for me to meet someone n who was from the UK like me or even in London. But tbh, i'm not bothered abt it coz i guess u can talk ur time to think abt ur response n stuff. But usually i chat with them to make sure n stuff make we exchange photos n stuff. Then we chat n stuff.
Thanks for the siggy Ky-lyrra


text: I don't believe the sign is mean to preach TOLERANCE. It's meant to draw attention to the fact that this pastor is a homophobe. I find it both interesting and disturbing that an alleged "man of god" to spend so much time and energy on something like opposing that rights of gay people when there are so many people in need who could use his help. His actions are shameful and I applaud the billboard!

The Bottom 10 gets "Superbad"
WEEK: Preseason | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | Final
The Bottom 10 inspirational thought of the week:
Because I'm bad, I'm bad -- come on
(Bad bad -- really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad -- you know it
(Bad bad -- really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad -- come on, you know
(Bad bad -- really, really bad)
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again,
Who's bad
-- Michael Jackson, "Bad"
As far as the Bottom 10 is concerned, bad is good. Our annual fall celebration of all things bad extends from the gridiron to music (see above), television and films. With a movie titled "Superbad" at the top of the box office, summer movies seemed like the perfect vehicle to drive us through the preseason Bottom 10.
So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the Bottom 10's trailer for 2007.
Longtime Bottom 10 favorites Buffalo, Utah State and Temple made the final cut. So did Duke, which is mired in a 20-game losing streak. But the Blue Devils didn't land in the top spot. Florida International, which finished No. 1 in the Bottom 10 last season, has the most buzz heading into 2007.
The highly coveted No. 5 spot, which usually is reserved for high-profile programs taking a hit, goes to all the offseason allegations and arrests.
Have a comment about the Bottom 10 ranking? Send us your thoughts.
So, with apologies to Steve Harvey, here's the 2007 preseason Bottom 10:
ESPN.com's Bottom 10 | ||||
1. | FIU | 0-12 | "Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End": The Panthers ended 2006 in the Bottom 10's version of Davy Jones' locker. This season's course could keep them sailing at the end of the college football world. | |
2. | Duke | 0-12 | "The Bourne Ultimatum": The Blue Devils have lost 20 straight games. If they can't get past UConn in the opener, they might consider having their memories erased. | |
3. | Temple | 1-11 | "The Invasion": Look out MAC! The Owls are moving into the neighborhood. The bottom of the conference will never be the same. | |
4. | Buffalo | 2-10 | "No Reservations": The Bulls don't need to call ahead. They always have a table ready for them in the Bottom 10. | |
5. |
Summer blotter |
1-10 | "Transformers": The players and coaches around college football spent way too much time in the police blotter during the offseason. It's past time for that to change. | |
6. | Eastern Michigan | 1-11 | "Ratatouille": The Eagles, who ended 2006 on a five-game losing streak, really don't have any ties to a rat who wants to be a chef. But Ypsilanti just seemed to work with "Ratatouille." | |
7. | Utah State | 1-11 | "Bug": The Aggies, who lost their last six games last season, haven't bugged many opponents in quite some time. | |
8. | UAB | 3-9 | "Rush Hour 3": The Blazers, who also finished '06 on a six-game slide, have moved into college football's slow lane. | |
9. | Idaho | 4-8 | "Lucky You": The Vandals lost their last five games in 2006 and coach Dennis Erickson left for Arizona State. Their reward is a season-opener at No. 1 USC. | |
10. | Stanford | 1-11 | "Live Free or Die Hard": Jim Harbaugh has exercised his right to free speech since arriving at the Farm, but some of his comments have put a target on the Cardinal. By the way, Stanford visits USC on Oct. 6. |
Waiting list: Illinois (2-10), Louisiana-Monroe (4-8), Memphis (2-10), Miami (Ohio) (2-10), most nonconference schedules, San Diego State (3-9) and UNLV (2-10).

Patrick-Murray Administration Celebrates New 278-Acre Wildlife Management Area in Ashfield/Hawley
Farrell Family's bequest will protect wildlife habitat, provide recreational open space
PLAINFIELD - Tuesday, October 5, 2010 - Continuing the Patrick-Murray Administration's unprecedented commitment to land conservation, Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Commissioner Mary Griffin today joined with state officials, conservation organizations and community leaders to honor Calvin and Annette Farrell, formerly of South Easton, for a generous bequest, which made possible the acquisition of a 278-acre tract of wildlife habitat in the towns of Ashfield and Hawley.
Under the terms of his will, Calvin Farrell, a lifelong sportsman and outdoor enthusiast, stipulated that a significant portion of his estate, built in partnership with his wife Annette, be given to the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife's (MassWildlife) Wildlands Fund for the acquisition of wildlife habitat and recreational land in western Massachusetts that would forever be available for hunting, fishing and other outdoor pursuits.
"The gift of land or funds to protect critical habitat does more for wildlife conservation than anything else people can do," said Commissioner Griffin. "I would like to thank the Farrell family and especially recognize Calvin and Annette Farrell for their foresight and incredible generosity."
The Farrells' donation to the DFW's Wildlands Fund, which is dedicated to the acquisition and protection of wildlife habitat in Massachusetts, has allowed the DFG and MassWildlife to create the new Ashfield-Hawley Wildlife Management Area.
Thanks in part to Governor Patrick's land conservation initiative, Massachusetts now has more than 1.2 million acres permanently protected. Of those parcels protected in the past four years, 88 percent of the lands conserved have been in critical habitat areas - much more than in the past. Over the last four years under the leadership of Governor Patrick, the administration has worked to protect more than 13,000 acres in 10 Habitat Reserves.
The Ashfield-Hawley property is a 278-acre parcel of woodland, primarily northern hardwoods, which has over 3,000 feet of frontage along the West Branch of the Swift River. Not to be confused with the Swift River that emerges from Quabbin Reservoir, this Swift River begins in Hawley and flows into the East Branch of the Westfield River in the town of Cummington. This western Swift River is an excellent cold water stream, which is stocked with salmon fry annually as part of MassWildlife's salmon restoration effort. The river is also stocked with trout. The corridor along the river has been identified as priority habitat. The combination of forest and wetlands on the property provides excellent habitat for many wildlife species including bear, moose, turkey, grouse, deer, beaver, bobcat and others.
"The Farrell's gift is a perfect example of the commitment outdoorsmen have to conservation," said MassWildlife Director Wayne MacCallum. "Many of the successful conservation programs in the nation have the support of outdoor enthusiasts, like the Farrells who recognized a need to protect wildlife and the land on which it depends. We honor the Farrell family for their generous gift and for ensuring future generations enjoy wildlife and related recreation in this area."
The Wildlands Fund, established in 1990 through the efforts of Massachusetts' sportsmen and others, is dedicated to the acquisition of land for wildlife habitat and for wildlife-related recreation.
The new Ashfield-Hawley WMA is situated among other parcels of conserved land. It abuts two tracts protected by Agricultural Protection Restrictions and is located across Plainfield Road from the 5,000-acre Kenneth Dubuque Memorial State Forest in Hawley.
"I would like to add my thanks to the Farrells for their generous gift," said Senator Benjamin B. Downing. "Future generations will be able to hunt, fish and pursue other outdoor activities for years to come thanks to their foresight and commitment. We thank them for that and commit to redouble our public efforts to complement their private generosity."
The Farrells were recognized at a ceremony at the Ashfield Rod and Gun Club at which members viewed the unveiling of a plaque honoring the couple that will be permanently mounted at the entrance to the new Wildlife Management Area.
DFG is responsible for promoting the enjoyment and conservation of the Commonwealth's natural resources. DFG carries out this mission through land preservation and wildlife habitat management, management of inland and marine fish and game species, and enforcement of the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act. DFG promotes enjoyment of the Massachusetts environment through outdoor skills workshops, fishing festivals and other educational programs, and by enhancing access to the Commonwealth's lakes and ponds.

Hazen Union High wins frog dissection software from PETA
HARDWICK — Biology class may never be the same.
Students at Hazen Union School in Hardwick will be saving the lives of a few amphibians this semester as they learn about anatomy with a dissection simulator.
The software, Digital Frog 2.5, was the prize awarded to Hazen Union by the education arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals after science teacher Teal Church submitted the winning essay in a contest explaining why the school deserved the new tool. The students started using it this month.
According to PETA, the tool allows students to "cut" tissue by using a digital scalpel to explore the animal's anatomy. And unlike dead frogs that have been dissected the old-fashioned way — with knives — PETA says the software teaches students about how frogs' living bodies work and about their natural habitats.
"We're delighted to help Ms. Church and Hazen Union take the lead in teaching biology with humane, modern methods," said PETA's senior vice president of laboratory investigations, Kathy Guillermo, in a news release.MORE IN This Just InSummer Street redevelopment project shrinks some Full StoryCV waste district eyes see-through garbage bag requirement Full StoryA major new study of smoking and death has banged more nails into the coffin of cigarette...

I am currently studying mathematics at the University of South Carolina with the intention of becoming a teacher so that I can encourage and build students up to reach their full potential.
I, Delaney Horel, the writer of this blog, am not a writer.
Nope. Among other things, I am a thinker, feeler, and doer.
And I created this blog because I want to share those parts of me with you.
Other parts of me you should know about: I have been redeemed by the love of Jesus Christ. He is my ultimate source of strength and peace. I seek to shine his light everywhere his will sends me. I mess up (a lot) and he pursues me anyway. Nothing compares.
I immerse myself in all that I do. I love to travel. I love to run. And I love to eat. I really like a good book accompanied by a cup of tea (especially if a hammock or rocking chair is involved). I like to make things and I like to try new things. I like to be silly and sometimes I talk in silly accents. Meeting new people is my favorite thing to do and outside is my favorite place to be. I'm not sure why you ended up here, but I'm glad you did, and I hope you are, too.

I absolutely love this cereal! It tastes amazing, and being a big cinnamon fan I was excited to try it out. As a university student you are always on the run and tight on money so you end up looking towards cereals for quick and easy meal options. This cereal gives me just that plus it tastes great. I also like to add hemp seeds to it to make it more filling.

Married and Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms don't always stop with painful, swollen joints. Without proper treatment, the condition can cause serious, even life-threatening, problems affecting the heart, lungs and other vital organs. Read on for advice from top rheumatologists on preventing and treating the worst RA complications...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can sometimes seem like a roster of problems: painful joints – check; another crooked finger – check; difficulty walking – check. Lung nodules – what?
Crippling pain and gnarled hands are only Act One of RA, a chronic autoimmune disease that affects 2-½ times more women than men. The condition – and sometimes the drugs used to treat it – may lead to lung disease, skin problems and even cancer.
"Because RA is a disease of the immune system, it's not hard to imagine that [immune disorders], like infections, are affected [it]," says Gary S. Firestein, M.D., a rheumatologist and professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.
Early, aggressive rheumatoid arthritis treatment, however, can often prevent or greatly reduce complications.
"The difference between the first day I see a patient and after treatment begins is like day and night," says Ozlem Pala, M.D., assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Rheumatology/Immunology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Read on for expert advice on 5 RA complications and their treatment from leading rheumatologists.
RA complication #1: Cardiovascular disease
About 40% of deaths in RA patients are the result of heart disease, according to a 2008 study at Emory University in Atlanta. RA patients face a two-fold risk for heart attacks and stroke. A stroke is the result of reduced blood supply to part of your brain, causing the death of brain cells.
Patients face higher heart disease risk because RA inflammation triggers a condition called atherosclerosis, which hardens and narrows coronary arteries and makes them less flexible and unable to supply enough blood to the heart.
Heart attacks and strokes are more common in patients with uncontrolled RA than in those who are on anti-inflammation treatments, Dr. Firestein notes.
Rheumatoid arthritis treatment:
Your doctor probably will prescribe oral or injected methotrexate, a medication to control inflammation and decrease pain, swelling and joint degeneration, Dr. Firestein says.
Methotrexate is a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD). This class of drug helps the immune system slow RA progression. Other DMARDs include hydroxychloroquine, biologic drugs such as etanercept and cyclosporine.
If the patient has additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as obesity, high blood pressure and poor physical fitness, the patient is treated for LDL ("bad") cholesterol – most likely with statin drugs – and encouraged to lose weight, Dr. Pala says.
RA complication #2: Infectious diseases
RA patients also face a higher risk for common infectious diseases, such as colds and flu, and sometimes for severe conditions, such as tuberculosis and gangrene, which is dead tissue caused by blocked circulation or a bacterial infection, says rheumatologist Scott Vogelgesang, M.D., professor of internal medicine and director of Graduate Medical Education at University of Iowa in Iowa City.
Because RA is an autoimmune disease, your immune system is busy attacking healthy cells in your body, leaving fewer reserves to battle an external threat like a virus. Also, some RA treatments – including methotrexate and biologic medications (genetically engineered proteins) – lower immune system response.
Rheumatoid arthritis treatment:
Patients with a high risk of infection should get more frequent checkups and treatment follow-ups, take infection-reducing antibiotics when needed and consider changing RA medications if they're causing problems, says Eric Matteson, M.D., chairman of the Mayo Clinic's Division of Rheumatology and senior author of a 2012 study about predicting an RA patient's risk of developing an infection.
It's even possible to stop medications, Dr. Vogelgesang says.
"If patients are sick with an infection, I'm likely to hold off on RA medications temporarily," he says. "If she has an urinary tract infection, for example, has a fever and is on antibiotics, it's best if she's off methotrexate until the fever is gone for one week."
That gives the infection medication a chance to work and prevents other infections that may occur from the DMARD.
RA complication #3: Lung disease
RA patients are vulnerable to a broad group of lung problems. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), they include:
Blocked airways caused by inflammation, excess mucus or both
High blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension)
Fluid in the chest (pleural effusions)
Lumps (nodules) in the lung
Scarring (pulmonary fibrosis)
Tuberculosis, a bacterial lung infection
The cause of most of these diseases is unknown. But some RA medications, such as methotrexate, may cause "methotrexate pneumonia," with such symptoms as fever, cough and shortness of breath, the NIH says. It resembles pneumonia, but isn't triggered by a virus or bacteria. The problem typically clears up when patients stop taking the drug.
Rheumatoid arthritis treatment:
Rheumatologists must carefully monitor patients with lung problems, taking chest
X-rays and asking about coughs, shortness of breath and other symptoms, Dr. Pala says.
"If their condition changes over time from the [original] tests, we repeat the X-ray and do further [tests] for lung disease," she adds.
Inflammation-reducing RA medications, such as methotrexate, are also used – even though they sometimes, but infrequently, cause lung problems, Dr. Vogelgesang says.
Deciding whether to use a medication that could cause harmful side effects is complicated, he explains.
Dr. Vogelgesang relies on patient-described symptoms, blood-test and X-ray results, the progression of joint destruction and a physical exam, among other tests.
After assessing the results, "we weigh the risks and benefits of treatment and come up with the best sweet spot for the patient's condition," he says. "We also factor in their tolerance for risk."
RA complication #4: Lymphoma and other cancers
The risk for lymphoma, or cancer of the lymph glands, is 2-5 times higher in RA patients than in people without the disease, Dr. Firestein says.
The reason isn't clear, but immune-suppressing drugs could be a factor.
That's because they prevent immune cells from finding and fighting abnormal cells, Dr. Firestein says. For example, biologic drugs may hinder the body's ability to fight tumor growth.
Early studies on RA medications showed an increase in lymphomas and other cancers, but large-scale studies have found that it's not true, he explains.
"If you're being treated with anti-RA drugs, the benefit of having RA under control outweighs the risk of side effects," he says.
On the other hand, RA patients are less likely to develop colon cancer, probably because many take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin – which reduce the risk, Dr. Firestein says. Those drugs trigger diseased stem cells to self-destruct, according to a 2010 report by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
Rheumatoid arthritis treatment:
If his patients develop cancer, "I prefer to stop the arthritis medications if we can," because medication-induced lymphoma sometimes disappears after ending therapy, according to the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center in Baltimore.
"If a patient has to go off one medication because of side effects … we can sometimes substitute [another] RA drug," Dr. Vogelgesang says.
Sometimes chemotherapy drugs, which also inhibit the immune system, will reduce RA symptoms, he adds.
But if RA is difficult to control, Dr. Vogelgesang suggests that the rheumatologist, oncologist and patient discuss the situation, so all can decide which medications and treatments are best.
RA complication #5: Skin disease or vasculitis
Rheumatoid nodules, or small, knobby bumps on the hands, fingers, knuckles or elbows, are the most common
skin complaint
; about 1 in 6 RA patients will get them, says Binh Ngo, M.D., assistant professor of dermatology at USC's Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles.
They also can appear internally, in the heart, the lining of the lung and other organs.
Skin-nodule complications, such as infections, ulcerations or gangrene, are more likely in patients who don't take their RA medications as directed, Dr. Ngo says.
Another serious sign of uncontrolled RA is vasculitis, which causes the walls of blood vessels in the skin to become inflamed; it shows up in less than 5% of RA patients, she says.
Watch for purple splotches of varying sizes on your legs, feet, buttocks and the back of your legs, says Ali Jabbari, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City.
In small blood vessels, vasculitis looks like a bruise, but in medium-size vessels it resembles raised nodules and ulcers, or gangrene, on the fingers.
Vasculitis also affects other organs, including nerves to the hands and feet, finger and toe arteries and the eyes, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). It causes rapid worsening of the lungs and inflammation of coronary arteries.
Rheumatoid arthritis treatment:
Nodules often are treated with DMARDs such as methotrexate, glucocorticoids (steroids) injected into the joints to shrink them, or, as a last resort, surgery, to remove them, Dr. Ngo says.
Mild cases of vasculitis are treated with over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen, according to the NHLBI. They reduce inflammation but should not be used if you're bleeding, because they thin the blood. Ask your doctor before taking NSAIDs.
A severe case of vasculitis requires prescription inflammation-reducing medications, such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.
A patient with an aneurysm (abnormal bulge in the wall of a blood vessel) due to vasculitis may require surgery to remove it, Dr. Ngo says.

My Surprise Love Ending
The last few days I've been soul searching. My time was spent meditating, listening to uplifting audiobooks, and reflecting on exercises that have come from many a love coach. In the last year, what began as a commitment in action to turning myself and my love life inside out quickly evolved to a steady diet of love workshops, dating tips, and healing whatever was in the way of love. As with anything I do, I go into a method 100%.
Before, last year, I had been diligently doing Kathryn Alice's program, which resulted in a heartbreak. So I picked myself up, and started again. Learning from experience, I decided that whatever was blocking love from happening was within me. To get out of my own way started with BodyTalk which evolved into soul healing journey with Heather Strang for which I am grateful. Then came Matthew Hussey with his Get the Guy program, It did wonders for my perspective and improving my overall interpersonal skills.
Afterwards, I enrolled in Debi Berndt's Engaged in a Year program and it too, had a profound effect, because my shadow self got discovered and eliminated from my dating life. Gradually, my perseverance lead me to love mentor Tamara Green whose kindness has brought me to bliss and seeing how much that state of being is essential to cultivate in my life, right here and right now. Devi Ward became my Tantra Yoga teacher so I could get more connected with my body and therefore, more comfortable in my own skin. And most of all, the lovely Anni Powers showed up. She has been a major champion for love for me and for everyone. More matchmakers like her are a must in this modern life of ours. There are countless others who have shown up in my life this past year for whom I'm so blessed to have met.
Along the way, I showed the Universe I was serious and not putting all my eggs in one basket. Having a matchmaker is not a license to be lazy. I continued on with self-love practices like taking myself to the spa and other self-respecting activities. In between making self-growth a priority I made sure to cast a wide net of romantic prospects. One thing was clear to me from the get go: balance. Too much pushing or too little effort wouldn't support attracting love. While I made a point to enjoy the now I did have my online profile made over and got better pictures for Match.com and eHarmony. Since both dating sites were paid and not free I figured the odds were higher that I'd find more serious people.

I was looking for the right setting to display my baby cranes and lily for a while now, as my laptop's keyboard or the desk at work just wouldn't do. Today, by accident, I rediscovered this bird bath we stored in our winter garden during winter and knew that was it. :-D
I'm not sure how the frog can still smile with the kids climbing all over him, though. ;-)
Frog looks quite happy with them :D

I'm mainly interested to join a clan that does premades on a daily basis. I'm looking for people who know what they're doing. No, I'm not quite looking for mediocre clans, but for those clans that like to step up everything to the next level. Currently I'm level 27, I play about 3 hours a day due to school limitations and around 5-7 on weekend granted I'm not busy. I live in arizona, which'll give you an idea of what time I play in or which time would come closer to yours. My wins to losses are about 92-49 at the time I'm writing this and it'll only go higher. Please add me in game to talk more about it, or post here. IGN, Hologram

Hi! I have a census record from 1870 of William H. Gibb, married to Julia E. and having son William H. Jr. Had an apprentice, John John, at the time. It lists William as being 26 at the time, which puts his birthdate about 1846. His son was 1 at the time of census. I am thinking that this was the brother or cousin of my Sarah J. Gibb, who would have been born in 1857 or so and having children in the late 1870s. She married Michael Thomas Fitzpatrick of NY and I have the line from there. Any idea if you have information where this would fit in?

Antonia's magic is split up. Before meeting Arill, Mizu, and Kai, she used pure magic, the most basic form of magic for anyone that awaited an elemental alignment. It is also considered in Dralan to also be the most powerful form of magic given the raw potential and purity of it. If she used too much, it would make her sick and weak for a good day or two, recovering in bed. The way she used it though was like it was like wind magic, the kind her father aligned with, so she always assumed that she was aligned to wind and air. She was late on getting an alignment for the fact that she is the Faerie Goddess.
Once her story is over, the different sage's blessings split up her magic evenly to all, but with the great fairie/goddess blessings, it gave her fire, water, and earth/nature magic an edge compared to the rest. So if she were to use Shadows, she would only be able to use a 1/6 of the power someone who's an expert in such magic could use. The fire, water, and earth/nature elements aren't greatly different, but it's better than using the rest power wise.
If she were to use them all at a go, that sick and weak thing would extend to a week then 1-2 days because of the boost of power the great fairies/goddesses gave.
There is a delicate balance upon becoming the Faerie Goddess for battle. The first thing is that she needs to have the magical capabilities to enter this mode, which drains her and leaves her to stay in bed to recover after returning from this mode. The other - and most important - thing she needs is emotional balance. If she is wracking around dark feelings and depression and it over powers the positive feelings, she will become not the Faerie Goddess, but the Lost Goddess of the Fey, where her specialty is Shadow and Forest magic and is emotionless; all she wants is destruction and nothingness. This can last for days on end, so long as L.G.o.F is in control, and after this she is stuck to recover twice as long as if she were the Faerie Goddess.
A side effect to becoming the Faerie Goddess is that her hair grows a lot from how long her hair becomes as F.G. It's how after her first time becoming the F.G. , she has her hair just past her shoulders.

The CrossFit Hibiscus Coast schedule is as follows.
We have two options with payments for our CrossFit classes. These are Ezidebit (Commit and Save) or our month to month rate (flexibility rate).
EZIDEBIT: This is our direct debit option. All personnel who opt for this option are acknowledging to be locked in for 3 months and committing to CrossFit Hibiscus Coast for a minimum of 3 months. Only 14 days notice will then be required via email or text to cease payments after the 3 month period. The rates are:
MONTH to MONTH: This option gives you the flexibility to pay via Automatic Payment, Internet Banking or Cash. The athlete has the flexibility to start and stop payments on a month by month basis. The amount takes into account an administration fee for managing these payments. The rates are:
TEN PASS CONCESSION: This option is available for those who travel for work or can not train three times per week on a regular basis. The ten pass concession card will have a two month expiry from date of payment on it. This is to encourage the athlete to get in within the period to use the sessions. Unfortunately no exceptions on the two month expiry will be given. The rate is:
ONE OFF SESSIONS: Traveling CrossFitters are encouraged to come and train with us. These sessions will be offered for only $20 per session. All personnel wanting to do one off sessions are advised to call or email in advance. One off sessions may be declined if the classes are full, so please call or give notice.

I am taking Diclectin (4 pills/day, spaced evenly throughout the day) to help with NV. While it is helping, I find that I would need a 5th pill to entirely offset the nausea. Is this a safe dosage? Please note that I have tried to call your information line but always just get an answering maching and am then never around for the return call.
Some women do require a higher dose than the
the standard 4/tablets per day. Motherisk published a

found that up to 12 tablets per day could be taken
without any adverse effects on the fetus

lajos website has to be the most inane, non-working, confusing, unclear, badly layed out, bag over the head..
Posted by steve jobs on November 6, 2003 at 2:13 PM (CST)
Hmm. Interesting. I wonder what else you can really do with silicone?
Posted by nick954 on November 6, 2003 at 2:58 PM (CST)
yep stevie, I agree with you - I tried to find a decent sized picture on that website for a while and finally just gave up…
Posted by me on November 6, 2003 at 3:05 PM (CST)
As you may know my site is mainly a site for resellers and distributors and very soon the online resellers that buy from me will have much better pictures that I every do although sometimes I have a few winners too. For those that frequent my site know that they can view an inventory controlled ordering system in express (express can be found on the main menu and here you will find eXo2). But I thank you for expressing your frustration that my site is not user friendly and I will be working on that.
Posted by Lajo Cymbalski on November 6, 2003 at 5:00 PM (CST)
Is it me or is this website the best-looking WORST site I've ever seen?
It is unbelievably redundant and for all its show, says nothing. There are like 3 ways to order what look like the same thing, and 3 websites that take you to one that resembles 99% of the one you just went to but you're not sure if it's different or not. All I wanted is a look at the newest skin for 3rd generation, and it's INANE.
Seriously, no more running around. Seriously, we're selling a case for the ipod. Make it logical for goodness sakes.
Seriously, I can NOT find the newest model that I'm looking for. And this is after repeated trips. You own the market.
Sorry, I was upset. But seriously, please work on it. We'll buy it—but seriously, it's hard to buy your product.
Anyone else agree?
Posted by hi on November 6, 2003 at 7:19 PM (CST)
So are you serious?
Posted by smart on November 6, 2003 at 7:21 PM (CST)
Yeah, I think he was serious, but I could be mistaken.
Actually, that's a good point about the website. I have an iSkin for my 40GB iPod and love it. It's a nice product, Mr. Cymbalski, but it *is* somewhat frustrating trying to find out more about it on your website. I second the motion that you improve your site design. The graphics are fine, but the workflow/clickthrough needs to be simplified and clarified.
Posted by Byron on November 6, 2003 at 7:50 PM (CST)
You are absolutely right, I have been too focused on the program end of the site to help distributors and resellers order multiple products with one click, data base control of inventory, recording best selling products and an express ordering system to view all the products instantly. Now you guys have kick my but, pointed me in the right direction and I will start the process of redoing the site to have a logical flow for customers and allow you to instantly find things see features and see the different colored cases outside of a dot of color. This will also be good for me and I appreciate you waking me up.
Posted by Lajo Cymbalski on November 6, 2003 at 9:26 PM (CST)
The Xskin looks just like eXo and Lajo's charging $32 bucks?
I think I'll pass on eXo2 and wait for eXo3 or may exo4 and 5.
Posted by wally on November 6, 2003 at 10:24 PM (CST)
I have tried to order on 3 different browsers and STILL no luck. What the #$*@? Lajo, what is up with that??
And if there is going to be an eXo 3 in December, tell us why should we bother buying eXo 2 now?
Please, tell us an alternate way to order, because I am about to give up on this product.
Posted by Scott on November 6, 2003 at 11:58 PM (CST)
Specifically, when I enter a quantity in the box and click "Submit", it clears the box and nothing is added to my cart. Nothing else seems to work properly on this site (one of the reasons I ordered my original eXo through iSkin and not Lajo).
Posted by Scott on November 7, 2003 at 12:03 AM (CST)
How to use the site - enter the qt you want to buy for as many products as you want and then submit once, look at the top right of the page and you will see the items purchased ,your discount, DHL fee and your total, click the picture of the cart next to the total to see the details of your order, you order form will appear with all the items you selected.
Posted by Lajo Cymbalski on November 7, 2003 at 12:23 AM (CST)
Maybe you should try the websit yourself to see if it is intuitive…I assure you, it is not.
And your directions dor ordering do not work. EVERY time, when I click submit, the quatity vanishes and nothing is added to my cart.
Posted by Scott on November 7, 2003 at 1:29 AM (CST)
If you are using safari you will not be able to submit your order it has something to do none compatibility with asp coding and how safari reads it. Use Mac explorer 5.0 or greater and you will not have any problem we test it here in China with both a Mac and a PC computer and it is fine. This is mentioned on the site but it seems as though it is not mentioned in enough places
Posted by Lajo on November 7, 2003 at 1:49 AM (CST)
your site is confusing, Lajo. Too much fun visuals, but nothing that really says what each product is and no way to get a good look at the product. I'm glad that your resellers can figure out how to use the site, maybe they're all geniuses or something.
Seriously, just make the damn site simple to use.
Posted by thai on November 7, 2003 at 3:16 AM (CST)
We are worked on it today but now my mind is drained after looking working on it for 4 hours. You know how it is when you are too close to something.
Posted by Lajo on November 7, 2003 at 3:55 AM (CST)
"And if there is going to be an eXo 3 in December, tell us why should we bother buying eXo 2 now?"
I got the impression that eXo2 is for older iPods with the buttons around the dial, and eXo3 is for 3rd gens. Maybe Lajo can clarify this…
Posted by Byron on November 7, 2003 at 5:54 AM (CST)
I am exo'd out. Let get some more questions in and I will answer them all during the weekend.

Setimes, electionguide.org
Turkey's Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) won a decisive victory in the July 22nd general elections with 46.6% of the votes -- or 340 seats in the 550-member parliament, enough for the party to form a single-party government. The party was short of the 413 seats needed to claim three-fourths of parliament, elect a new president and change the constitution.
The other two parties to cross the 10% threshold are the Republican People's Party (CHP), which received 20.8%, or 111 seats, and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), which received 14.2%, or 71 seats.
Twenty-four pro-Kurdish independents also won seats, and are expected to form the first pro-Kurdish political group in the assembly since the early 1990s.
Voter turnout was about 80%. Eight people were injured in a number of minor incidents, and there were demonstrations in several provinces, opposing a president from the AKP.

JPMorgan (JPM) in Settlement Talks With DOJ
New York (TheStreet) -- JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) has entered into last-minute settlement negotiations with the Justice Department, according to a Reuters' exclusive. The case, which was to be filed today, charges the bank with selling mortgage bonds in California in violation of federal laws from 2005 to 2007.
The case is the latest in a string of litigation against the banking giant. Details emerged this morning regarding a lawsuit between the National Credit Union Administration and 13 international banks, JPMorgan among them, alleging manipulation of LIBOR which caused five credit unions to bankrupt.
Late last week, JPMorgan agreed to pay more than $920 million to various regulators in its London Whale settlement.
"We remain patient on JPMorgan, as we recognize the bank has its hands full with the regulators and higher legal costs," said Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link in their premium 'Action Alerts Plus' memo. "Should J.P. Morgan get this issue behind it quickly, we expect the stock to rally."
JPMorgan shares are down 1.22% to $50.83 as of 1:25 p.m. EST. Shares traded have exceeded their one-month average daily volume, with 18.6 million shares changing hands compared to 18.24 million. Overall, the bank is lagging the S&P 500 which is up 0.26%. TheStreet Ratings team rates JPMorgan as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate JPMorgan a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, compelling growth in net income, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated."Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 63.2% to $68,520 million when compared to the same quarter last year.
- The net income increased by 31% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $4,960 million to $6,496 million.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization.
- Compared to where it was trading one year ago, J.P. Morgan is up 27.6% to its most recent closing price of 52.75. Looking ahead, although the push and pull of a bull or bear market could certainly alter the outcome, our view is that this stock's positive fundamentals give it good potential for further appreciation.
