The MPIP Off-Topic Forum is a community bulletin board that provides the melanoma community with a safe space to share experiences and to give and find support from others who can relate to having or caring for someone with a melanoma diagnosis. Please note: if you have an urgent question about melanoma to ask the community, visit the main MPIP Forum.
MPIP is the oldest and largest community of people affected by melanoma hosted through the Melanoma Research Foundation. It is designed to provide support and information to caregivers, patients, family and friends. Once you have been touched by melanoma—either as a patient or as a family member or friend of a patient—you become part of a community. It is not a community anyone joins willingly. But if you must be part of this group, you will find no better place to find the tools you need in your journey with this cancer, and the friends who can make that journey more bearable.
The information on the bulletin board is open and accessible to everyone. To add a new topic or to post a reply, you must be a registered user. Please note that you will be able to post both topics and replies anonymously even though you are logged in. All posts must abide by MRF posting policies.
My Mom is 79 years old and she was diagnosed with a recurrence of Melanoma yesterday. Her story with Melanoma has been a couple of years. About 4 years ago she had some Melanoma on her right arm. It was determined by a surgical oncologist to to a wide cision graft. Unfortunately it came back and last year at this time they did it once more. This past January she broke her leg and we sort of forgot about the Melanoma (my fault) and it was not until the weather got warmer that I noticed it was back. She thought it was scar tissue as she noticed it nine months earlier and pointed it out to the surgical oncologist who said it was probably scar tissue from the latest graft.
I am scared to death for her. Tommorow she gets an MRI and Thursday she is getting a PET Scan. What confusing me is the doctor did not do a biopsy he is assuming that since that is the sight of the previous melanoma that this would be a natural conclusion.
Has anyone heard of scar tissue that masks itself as melanoma?

Hi all...
After getting an "in and out" phone message in my voicemail a few weeks ago.....and calling Dian back twice.....I finally got in touch with her tonight...
She says to say HELLO to all of you!!!
She is doing really well. Her physical therapist and occupational therapist are amazed at how well she is doing! She sounds GREAT to talk to...but is having some deficits. Typing and reading.....hence she is not here. And her music which she IS playing is having some deficits. She says though, that the melanoma can't be found!!! :~).
Bob just bought her some software with a microphone, so she will hopefully be able to figure it out and post herself. I for one miss her!!!!!
Love you Dian~
Hugs, Marie
Oh...she sounds WONDERFUL on the phone!!!!

My father was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma in his lungs (very small spots) in early 2012. He was going to Sloan Kettering and was put on ippi. There wasn't much reaction to it initially so then he then transferred to Yale (closer to home) and was put on PD-1. Over the course of a year about 85% of the tumors shrunk which was wonderful news. However in his latest scan 3 spots on his ribs/chest popped up. The dr is now taking him off of PD-1 and putting him back on ippi. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Dear One and all.
The other day I went back to PMH (princess Margaret Hospital) to review a mass of recent tests. The results are: TA DA my tests were all BORING! yes that was the key word.
I am now officially discharged from PMH after 9 years of six month appts. I am being transferred to another hospital for a new trial clinic for long term followup for melanoma patients not undergoing treatments. in other words I think it translates to NED after all these years.
Of course I still have on going issues with my "earlid" as the black stuff keeps on comiing back, then they biopsy it, and it goes on. I still have six months checks for the RCC that was removed and will always be watched for any signs of BC coming back.
BUT those are all at different hospitals.
Those of you on FB know this but the rest of you??
Love Bonnie
P.S. JOHN pls write you owe me hahaha. Barbie Girl you need to answer my questions regarding your new spot on cheek. You were soooo worried and now I hear nothing....what happened?
Janner, I love you
Love Bonnie

As you may or may not know, my brother passed away 2 months ago after a brief, intense battle with melanoma. I have posted here before about my anxiety, depression, and grief. The people on this site have been extraordinarily kind and understanding-- a big ((HUG)) to all of you! I know that my personal journey isn't over-- the void in my life and the hole in my heart will last forever. But I can look back now and see some ways in which I have grown and matured in the last year. I have come to understand some things I didn't understand before. For example...

Hi all. I completed Yervoy last spring and have been on Zelboraf for 7 months. I was just refused entry into a PD-1 trial at Sloane due to brain mets which Bristol Myers Squibb claims are active. My docs and radiation consultants disagree but I guess the drug companies get to make that decision. other mets in my stomach and knee seem to be showing some indication that my body may be building up a resistance to the Zel.
Anyway, my onc now wants to continue with the zelboraf, re-introduce yervoy along with it and also add some radiation. Anyone have any experience with this? I've tried to do some research but couldn't come up with much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Allen Carr called to let me know some of the oldtimers were doing chat this week (and last week). I can't get in---I just get a black screen. Any help?
You're all prolly gone tonite since it's after 10pm EST. Wish we could still see who was in the chat room. *sigh*
Anyhoo, howdy, hope you all haven't missed me too much. I know some of you haven't missed me at all! =)
Still raising girlies and taking care of MamaG. She fell the 1st week in January and broke her clavicle (collarbone) on the right side. She did a hard, fast rehab (10 days or so). Got her home from that, and 2 days later, she was back in the hospital w/ pneumonia. She went to a skilled nursing rehab after that, and within FOUR HOURS of being there, fell off the flippin' bed and broke her left hip! She had surgery 2 weeks ago, and is back in skilled nursing rehab. She's had a rough start this year.
I'm over 12 years NED now (yippeee). Still have a crappy back, which is getting crappier every day. I live with it.
If I can ever get into chat, I hope to reconnect with my old-timer buddies! We need another bash! Told Allen we need to take a cruise, but I've been rethinking that after the "cruise from hell" recently.
Ya'll can find me on facebook (Lisa Garman Norvell).
Take care! *Hugz*
ps.. JAG---didn't know you had a baby boy now. Congrats! Mr. Bill---send Allen Carr your email addy, k? He asked me if I had it.... hah! (Never did!)Bonnie, I think of you all the time. I owe tons of people emails and can't say when (or even IF) I'll get around to answering them. Life is busy busy busy these days, and when it's not, I'm playing auto-bingo while trying to catch up on shows on my DVR!

My brother was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma last June and passed away from the disease 3 weeks ago. Even though we live in different states, during his illness I broke my neck and did everything I possibly could to get him the best possible care and to ensure that his quality of life was as good as it could be all the way up to the very end. It was, of course, a very stressful time for everyone in the family. I knew that I was stressed and grieving (and I did take care of myself as best I could) but it wasn't until after he had passed and I had done all the necessary paperwork that my stress and grief REALLY hit me. I guess I'm one of those people who is able to push my emotions into a corner of my mind and get on with what needs to get done. I suppose that is a characteristic of all of us caregivers.
From time to time over the last 9 months I have seen a very good grief counselor. She is very experienced in hospice work and she seems to "get" me and how I operate mentally and emotionally. I saw her the other day for the first time since my brother died. I told her that I was doing OK. Yes, I get overwhelmed with sadness sometimes and start to cry some. But it passes quickly and I get back to doing a lot of things that I have let slide over the months (house cleaning, grocery shopping, freelance work, etc.).
By the end of the session she said that she did not think that I was "doing OK". She said that 3 times during our session I had gotten all choked up and fought back tears. People who are "doing OK" don't behave that way. I replied that I thought that type of behavior was to be expected when one was grieving. I figured that it would take time for the intensity of the feelings to subside. One just had to be patient and get through it. She said, "No". She said that the only way to really get through grief was to talk about it and cry about it for as often and as long as necessary. Rehash the same upsetting memory again and again if necessary until the grief is gone. It doesn't have to be with her; I could relive the memories and express my grief with my spouse or my family or with my close friends. But her advice was to do so in order to experience emotional healing.
That approach is foreign to me. In my family, we keep our mouths shut about distressing emotions. If you start feeling badly, distract yourself, change the topic of conversation, push the emotions away. Letting it out, rehashing and reliving the stressful past and anticipating the unhappy future, or crying openly in front of other people is shameful and just makes you feel worse. No good can come of it.
So now I don't know if I should trust this therapist and continue seeing her for periodic "crying sessions" or whether I should do what I have been taught to do by my upbringing and experience-- stiff upper lip the whole thing. Since this is my first experience with losing someone close to me, I can't imagine how to do things differently from the way that comes naturally to me. I can't imagine how emoting all over the place will help me. But maybe I'm just suffering from a lack of imagination here. Maybe I should try it the therapist's way.
This is where I could use your input. In your experience with grieving (either now or in the past), have you allowed yourself to frequently talk about and cry about your loved one and how sad you are that they had to endure the misery of their disease and how much you now miss them now? Do you think that's a healthier approach than just pushing your grief into a corner and getting on with life? Is the emotional end result-- say 6 months or a year later-- any different with the two approaches?
I would appreciate hearing about your experience and insight.

Much to Kipp's amusement, a survey from Yahoo Maktoob Research reveals rather impossible Oscar predictions.
February 20, 2012 3:56 by Eva Fernandes
The Oscars, a celebration of cinema-well Hollywood really, with a sprinkling of a few 'international' films—is apparently quite a big deal among residents in the Middle East and North Africa. Rather strange, isn't it? The online survey, which was carried out by Yahoo! Maktoob Research among 2,235 residents of the GCC, Levant and North Africa, found that 87 percent of the respondents said they intended to watch the Oscars (either online or on TV).
87 percent is rather significant number-but before we implicitly put our trust in these numbers we perhaps might point out that the survey found the majority of the respondents expected Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2) to win best film, Brad Pitt and Elizabeth Olsen to win best support male and female actors accordingly. So what's the big deal you ask Kipp? Well, it is just that Harry Potter has not even been nominated for best film and neither has Elizabeth Olsen been nominated for best actress
Don't believe us? Check out the official nominees of the website here…
1 Comment
This is hilarious. They don't even know who has been nominated. All they care about is the red-carpet and all things paparazzi. No serious movies enthusiasts here…Has anyone heard of 'The Artist' yet. Well you better as it's going to win quite a few gongs.

Great Lakes, No Clouds
NASA image acquired August 28, 2010
Late August 2010 provided a rare satellite view of a cloudless summer day over the entire Great Lakes region. North Americans trying to sneak in a Labor Day weekend getaway on the lakes were hoping for more of the same.
The Great Lakes comprise the largest collective body of fresh water on the planet, containing roughly 18 percent of Earth's supply. Only the polar ice caps contain more fresh water. The region around the Great Lakes basin is home to more than 10 percent of the population of the United States and 25 percent of the population of Canada.
Many of those people have tried to escape record heat this summer by visiting the lakes. What they found, according to The Hamilton Spectator, was record-breaking water temperatures fueled by record-breaking air temperatures in the spring and summer. By mid-August, the waters of Lake Superior were 6 to 8°C (11 to 14°F) above normal. Lake Michigan set records at about 4°C (7°F) above normal. The other three Great Lakes – Huron, Erie, and Ontario -- were above normal temperatures, though no records were set.
The image was gathered by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite at 1:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time (18:30 UTC) on August 28. Open water appears blue or nearly black. The pale blue and green swirls near the coasts are likely caused by algae or phytoplankton blooms, or by calcium carbonate (chalk) from the lake floor. The sweltering summer temperatures have produced an unprecedented bloom of toxic blue-green algae in western Lake Erie, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Progression of a Quarterback
I remember sitting and listening to how Peyton couldn't win the big one, or how Tom Brady was only a field general, only as good as the system he was in. Of course, there were the arguments about how Tom Brady would be much better behind the Colt's oline. Put another quarterback on the Steelers team and they'd do just as well (which we know isn't true).
In reality, a quarterback regardless of how good he is, is only as good as the team he is on. Kurt Warner would never survive behind the Steelers oline. But I'm digressing here. Because as a homer, this blog is a testimony to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. No, seriously. Over the years, I've watched this kid (yes Ben, if you're young enough to be my son, you'll always be a "kid") progress. There were times I thought he could do no wrong and there were times that I'd want to put him in a corner until he gain some sense.
While everyone watched the drama over the Philip Rivers/Eli Manning saga in the 03 draft, Bill Cowhers and the Steelers scouting staff quietly picked up a quarterback in the first round, something the Steelers hadn't done since Terry Bradshaw was drafted.
It wouldn't be too long before he'd see his first game and from that time on, we've watched him progress. One thing about Ben, it's his team first. He's never been one to care about his numbers, however, I think he secretly enjoys proving his detractors and nay sayers wrong.
In his rookie year, we've heard that the Steelers would be lucky to finish 8-8 when Maddox went down. Ben would go on to have a 13-0 start his first year, taking the Steelers to 15-1 in regular season. Okay he struggled in the playoffs and would take his first loss in the NFL in the AFCC. But that year, the only thing that those who doubted him got right was that no rookie quarterback had gotten into and won the Superbowl. In the off-season he made Jerome Bettis a promise to get him to the SB.
The next year, due to injuries and a shaky start, it looked like it wasn't going to happen, but when Ben returned and after a loss to the Colts, in 2005, the Steelers started the run for the wildcard and never looked back. Some can argue that it was the Steelers running game that got them there, perhaps, but it was Ben's arm that opened up that running game. Once defenses backed off, the running game opened up. While the Steelers offense kept them in it, the Steelers defense methodically did it's work too. That year, the Steelers would win the Superbowl. Okay, maybe Ben didn't play well, but they had to get there and he was the one that helped them do that.
After a motorcycle accident and an appendectomy at the beginning of the next season, it looked like SB hangover set in, and it did. However, instead of having a losing season, Cowhers last season, they ended up .500. It was when Ben finally got healthy that they started winning. (I'll rant about this as one of his flaws later).
The Steelers weren't expected to do much with a rookie head coach coming in the next year. To top that, there were arguments as to whether Roethlisberger would be a top ranked quarterback, ever. While Tom Brady and the Patriots were running the gambit for a perfect season, Ben Roethlisberger was taking the Steelers offense to an AFC North title. Yep, it was the running game, after all, before Willie Parker broke his ankle, he was leading the NFL in rushing yards. Yet, even with the strong running game, Roethlisberger would end up being 2nd or 3d overall for quarterbacks that year, despite being the most sacked quarterback in the league.
There was one thing that people kept saying about Roethlisberger, that he could only win a game if he was ahead. If the Steelers had to come from behind to win, it wouldn't happen. Guess this year he's proving them wrong. Yeah, you may want to say that with no running game, there's no offense. I disagree. A team with no offense isn't going to be able to control the field, nor be able to come back and tie or win a game, especially against top ranked defenses.
This year, after losing two games in which the Steelers had the lead in, the Steelers had come back from behind in three of them to win two and tie one. Can we really say that the Steelers would have lost to the Cowboys in overtime? Hard to say, Deshea Townsend made that a moot point. Tony Romo choked? Well, yeah he did, but he wasn't the one playing on defense that allowed the Steelers to drive back for a touchdown to tie the game. Ravens defense changed up, yeah they did, but they were the ones to go into prevent defense…could it be the way that Ben and the wide receivers were driving down the field for 92 yards that caused Rex Ryan to call it that way?
Yeah, Ben has his problems. He has an ego that for some reason or another makes it hard for him to sit out a game or two when he's injured, when there is more then capable backups to substitute for him. Not like he's going to lose his starting quarterback slot anytime soon. Yeah, he holds on to the ball too long at times, but that's just him wanting to make big plays. We curse him when he gets sacked, we cheer when he is able to get the big play off. Yeah, sometimes he doesn't read the field, but what quarterback is perfect at that?
But for as much as the offense has struggled in some games, they're still managing to put up enough points to put themselves in the position for the win. Despite the lack of a running game, despite an oline, though improved, still struggles. Those come from behind wins have been on Ben's arm. What does it matter if it's by 1 or 100 points, a win is a win. And besides, when you have a great defense, do you really need to be putting up 45 points a game anyway?
And this year, where a lot of quarterbacks have struggled and have become flustered at the end of the game when they're behind, Ben hasn't done that, at least not since the Colts loss.

Progression of a Quarterback
So, I checked the article that his Wikipedia references. It includes 2000, where Brady threw THREE passes. They went 5 - 11.
Damn, I wish Drew Bledsoe had won more games so Brady would "have" the record. :P

Progression of a Quarterback
Brady was tied for the most wins for a quarterback in his first five years as a QB...until Ben surpassed him
Erm. From 2001 to 2005, Brady won 58 regular season games as a starter (11 in 2001, then 9, 14, 14, and 10). So far, Roethlisberger has 50 regular season wins as a starter (13 in 2004, then 9, 7, 10, and 11 this year). Even throwing in games he didn't play, by my math, Roethlisberger is up to 55 (15 in 2004, then 11, then 8, then 10 last year...now 11). Including post season, Brady goes up to 68 (he started 10 - 0 in the playoffs before losing to Denver). If I recall correctly, Ben has 5 playoff wins (one win in 2004, four in 2005, didn't qualify in 2006, went one and done last year)...that puts him up to 55 or 60.
And Ben's playing the style of football that got the Patriots to the SB and the rings.No, Ben turns the ball over and makes boneheaded plays.

Progression of a Quarterback
I don't think Charlie Frye is a Ben Roethisberger, but like Tim Couch before him, suffered from a poor offensive line. Charlie was / is actually quicker than Ben, but not as strong and did not look off receivers as well. Charlie was a third round draft choice in 2005, and while he has played in two games in Seattle this year (2TD's & 2 Int's, rating around 50) appears destined to be a lifetime backup in the NFL. Not a bad job to be a back-up NFL QB actually, but a Ben Roeslisberger he is not.
Pittsburgh actually has two MAC QB's now that Brian Leftwich, a Jaguar 7th round pick in the 2003 draft, replaced Batch on the team. I remember watching the 2001 GMAC Bowl in which Brian with a broken shin rallied his Marshall University team to a 64 -61 OT victory over East Carolina. His offensive line literally carried him up to the line of scrimmage after big receptions down field. It was one of the most gutsy performances I've ever seen. In fact, Pittsburgh may have the toughest starting and back-up QB's in the league in Roethlisberger and Leftwich, and they are both from the MAC conference that many would write off as second rate.

Progression of a Quarterback
Good writeup. I'd like to talk a little about patience. As a Steeler fan transplanted in the Virginia 'burbs of DC (for now, anyway) I know the benefit of having patience with your players and your team. Pittsburgh fans are lucky to have a team that makes annual runs to the playoffs more routine than rare. Enjoy this. Bask in how good it feels.
The Redskins are the opposite. The media and the fans on radio talk shows have no patience for losing. Not all of them but more than a few. They also have an owner with even less patience who must listen to these fans. Marty Schottenheimer won everywhere he coached but only lasted one season in Washington. The poor players didn't like having to practice hard so they complained in the press and on the radio and Marty was fired. There was grumbling during the second coming of Joe Gibbs. Jim Zorn may be next even though he doesn't deserve it. And Jason Campbell is on the hot seat. I've always said that if Kordell Stewart had been a Redskin he might have ended up one of their all time great receivers because he sure wouldn't have been given the quarterback opportunity he had in Pittsburgh. One and done.
Once again the point is enjoy your players, your coaches and your team. They're a treasure that not everyone gets to enjoy.

Progression of a Quarterback
Nope, he's no Tom Brady...and Brady's no Matt Cassell (sorry couldn't resist).
But there are some comparisons...Both Brady and Roethlisberger have gone undefeated in a season when they started.
Brady was tied for the most wins for a quarterback in his first five years as a QB...until Ben surpassed him
And Ben's playing the style of football that got the Patriots to the SB and the rings. It wasn't Brady's high powered offense but his ability to drive the field when it counted, controlling the ball, that won the SBs for the Patriots. Even Peyton Manning finally got to the SB and won when they started eating the clock and driving the field instead of relying strictly on Mannings arm.

I agree that Ben is a perfect fit, basically because he doesn't seem to give up when a play breaks down, for better or worse, but at least he's willing to take chances.
And thanks.

Progression of a Quarterback
Thanks. The one thing stats don't show is the actual game. What was the weather, what were the intangibles, who were the defenses they've played. Yeah stats are going to look great if you play a team that has no defense, like the Saints or the Rams. Look at how the Steelers defense brought down the QB rating of Rivers, Romo and, yes, even Eli's stats took a hit. It's how the quarterback plays when the chips are down is what isn't shown in the stats.

Progression of a Quarterback
The Mick,
Yeah, his inaccuracy could be blamed on his shoulder or trying to adjust to a constant pass rush and getting the ball out quickly. Earlier in the season, the play calling kept Ben in the pocket (don't know why, he looked more comfortable when he was out of it trying to make the plays).
His size, his ability to get away from the rush and run out of the pocket are definitely factors why he continues to provide the drives to even come from behind. Tommy Maddox was never comfortable getting out of the pocket and behind a primarily run oriented oline, not a good thing for a pure pocket passer like Maddox was.
The one thing that I liked about Ben, which he continues to show, is his maturity he showed his first season. I see the same in Flacco. I think Flacco will be the fit that the Ravens needed on their offense.

Progression of a Quarterback
I don't know about Frye, honestly, and I'm not sure how Ben would fit on another team, he'd probably do well, but then, if he was on the Raiders, whose to say (I don't see Manning playing as well if he was on the Raiders either...lol).
The success of a quarterback isn't only on the quarterback but also on his team. Does Frye possess the skills and ability, I think so, I just don't think he's found the team that he could do it with. Look at Kurt Warners career, how well he did on the Rams and not so well he did with the Giants and then took the Cardinals to the playoffs...once he got his weapons. Look how well Tom Brady did the year he finally got all his weapons in place and they sync'd up. Until then, people were discounting him for just being a field general.
Ben's ratings could be higher, a lot of it is on him and a lot of it is on his receivers - and the play calling. There were a lot of plays called, well that shouldn't have been. And there were alot of dropped passes by his receivers this season that should have been caught.

Browns guard Jason Pinkston feels grateful to be alive following a health scare that ended his season. Pinkston was hospitalized in October following a game against Cincinnati with blood clots in his lungs. The second-year player doctors told him if he had taken a hit in the game that ''I could've probably died then so I'm all happy about it that I'm still here.'' Pinkston, speaking with reporters on Friday for the first time since getting sick, said he has been working out and plans to play next season. He said he feels ''normal'' and is looking forward to resuming his career. Pinkston said he thought he only had bronchitis in the week leading up to being hospitalized. He continues to take blood thinners. The ordeal has changed Pinkston's view on life, he said.

Just having stun > MFD DFA > vanish garrote/CS > envenom is good burst on 4 globals. And it's on a 1 minute CD. And I run prey so get at me.
That is a great combo, but let me compare it to another I recommend you try out.
1. stun > MFD DFA > vanish garrote/CS > envenom
2. Vendetta/MfD macro > envenom > vanish > envenom
The advantages of #2 are as follows:
*you do not waste the enemys stun DR or put your kidney on DR.
*you x2 envenom directly out of stealth, so very burst oriented.
*you do not waste 85 energy or the 3 combo points given in combo #1 when you are already point capped from vanish.
*Vendetta/MfD macro is clicked pregame so this burst is 3 globals instead of 7.
#2 would require Nightstalker to make each envenom hit as hard as a DFA but with this both envenoms will be a 100% crit instead of just one. It's also fast movements so you can squeeze as much damage in as possible during the shortest timeframe.
I hope this assists in you owning people
PS: Prey on the Weak is good if you have a great partner and coordinate properly. A higher skill cap is needed In order for it to be as effective as Internal Bleeding. Internal Bleeding gives you one of your strongest dots plus it's free damage that can be applied in any dynamic situation, so its environment friendly.
Prey on the Weak also requires you to use abilities like Vanish to get a CS or the use of your kidney to activate. This leads to a style of pulling energy so you can burst into a stunned foe. I feel Internal Bleeding helps you manipulate the battle field better as it compliments the natural flow of battle.
Some examples of this would be:
*Using kidney to pin and beat on the kill target while recovering the energy you just used with Burst of Speed to get to him/her in kited scenarios.
*after a vanish being able to go directly into the 5 point envenom instead of CS > envenom. Not only the wasted 40 energy but the time and globals needed is huge.
*In a fight were you use kidney for a peel or CC you don't waste the Prey on the Weak effect. Instead you turn it into a possible kill. You always get enough dagger hits off to apply Deadly or Wound poison when you kidney. When you kidney use the +25 energy from Relentless Strikes to apply a Rupture. Rupture is crap damage but Venomous Wound is solid. This means that when you jump back on the main target and all eyes are on that target whoever you used kidney on is going to be rotting with Venomous Wounds, Internal Bleeding, Rupture, and Deadly Poison if you run it. This leads to a PERFECT hard swap out of knowwhere in a smokebomb as they can get to -75% without even realizing it. People watch their health bar when lock dots are on them, against a Rogue unless the Rogue is on them they never think to check health because statistically they don't need too.
When you watch streams and see "HOW THE F@CK DID I DIE?!" shenanigans like this is normally the culprit.

A tag is like a keyword or category label attached to an entry in the Link Exchange. Tags make it easier to find or recall particular links of interest. They're also a good way to categorize your bookmarked items, so you can browse your bookmarks by subject.
Tags benefit the community, too. Anyone who is logged in can tag a Link Exchange item. This means that tagging provides a way to see the big trends in Link Exchange content.
A good tag helps people find the entry. When you tag a link, think about how you might search for that link in the future. Try tagging with several relevant terms, even if they're unrelated to one another. For example, you might want search for a link using either "video" or "image processing" as the tag search term, so it's a good idea to apply both of those tags. Go ahead and experiment with tag searches — it's the best way to learn what tagging is all about. Try adding and deleting tags, too.
Start typing in the Tag box, or click on a tag from the list that displays near the box. If you change your mind, click again to remove the tag from your list. Tags are separated by commas. If you want to apply a tag that uses more than one word, make sure there are no commas in the tag itself. Otherwise, the tag will be divided up into multiple tags. Note that when you search for a multi-word tag, you must enclose it in quotes.

Hello, I admin a wordpress network of 10k sites.
Each site has 2 users: local account, superadmin account.
So that the superadmin is user of every 10k site.
That was ok untill v3.3 and untill the new toolbar.
Now that I upgraded from 3.2.1 to 3.3.1 superadmin cannot login anymore, I think because breaking while assembling the huge 'my sites' list in toolbar.
I have no error neither in apache nor mysql, and I think that's an untracked memory overflow issue.
How can I suppress the creation of that list?
I understand that it have something to do with removing nodes from WP_Admin_Bar instance... but I cannot figure the right way to do that.
Thanks in advance for all the help,

Top 10 most-read sports stories of the year on JSOnline
Boy, does Wisconsin love the Green Bay Packers.
Even beyond the Packers winning the Super Bowl, 2011 was one of the biggest sports years ever in Wisconsin. Consider:
-- The Brewers won their first division title in 29 years.
-- The Wisconsin Badgers went to the Rose Bowl (OK, they lost, but still), then came back to win the Big Ten title and return to the Rose Bowl.
-- The Marquette and Wisconsin men's basketball teams advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.
-- Ryan Braun won the National League most valuable player award, then failed a a drug test and faces a 50-game suspension.
So, sure, you can guess the most-read sports story on JSOnline this year -- the Super Bowl victory.
But here's the surprising part: Not a single story NOT about the Packers cracked JSOnline's top 10. Even a story about the free agency departures of a couple offensive linemen and a backup running back outranks the best of the Brewers, Badgers, Golden Eagles and Bucks.
Wisconsin really, really loves the Packers.
Top 10 most-read sports stories on JSOnline in 2011
- Green Bay holds on to win fourth Super Bowl title
- Raji not about to forgive or respect the Falcons
- Packers' Hawk released, but will re-sign
- Packers lose three players to free agency
- Hawk deal with Packers came together quickly
- Packers to find room for Finley
- Driver not done yet, but considering what comes next
- Packers may fare better than other teams in labor delay
- Packers marvel at Super Bowl rings' might

Was the explosion in Ferguson a moment—or the begining of a movement?

Three steps for building a transformative movement for justice.
I got on a bus to help someone else's justice movement—and discovered it was my own.
Religious historians say that every 500 years, Christianity goes through a "massive transition," as noted religion writer Phyllis Tickle puts it.
Around 500 A.D., "barbarians" sought to subjugate Rome by wiping out its underlying religion. Christianity went underground. In abbeys like Iona, monks painstakingly copied Scripture and civilization's great writings, in effect saving Western civilization itself.
Around 1000 A.D. came the "Great Schism," when the Western church based in Rome and the Eastern church based in Constantinople fought over creeds and doctrine, political power and cultural hegemony. That split endures to this day between Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism.
Around 1500 A.D. came the Protestant Reformation, when nationalism born of exploration in the New World and new commercial wealth demanded an end to Rome's domination of European life. That split, too, endures.
Now comes a new millennium, and Christianity wears so many different faces that it's difficult to speak of a single "Christian movement."
It's more human to deny the evidence, attack the messengers, and try to delay any response.
I learned from an article in The Sun magazine that the word eccentric comes from a Greek word that describes objects in space that don't revolve around the earth. The Greeks in ancient times saw Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn and observed that they wandered through the sky moving in a seemingly aimless way. They called these planets asteres planetai (wandering stars). The planets were not, however, wandering. They were revolving around the sun. It was the finite view of human beings that made them seem like wanderers.
Human eccentrics move in a seemingly aimless way, too. Their movements make them seem like wanderers to other human beings with finite views. They don't wander aimlessly, though. They revolve around a different center.
Why it's time for a conversation about Slow Church.

Despite losses last week to West Forsyth and Johnson, the West Hall boys basketball team remained in the Top 10 of the latest Georgia Sports Writers Association basketball poll released Monday.
After starting the year 11-0, the West Hall boys have lost three of their last six games, including the first two subregion games against West Forsyth and Johnson.
The occurrence of the ridiculous fosters my love/hate relationship with sports.
They can be creative, loud and supportive. They can be expressive, humorous and sometimes borderline offensive. And while they are not actually allowed to step foot on it, student sections can often have a large impact on the basketball court.
Gainesville head coach Todd Cottrell doesn't remember what he told his team during a timeout midway through the third quarter, but whatever he said worked to perfection.
MACON - Moving up to Class AA had little effect on the Jefferson Dragons, who won their eighth consecutive GHSA State Duals title following a dominating 48-19 win over Lovett in their championship match Saturday at the Macon Centerplex.
With her team-high 21 points in Lumpkin County's 48-41 win over West Forsyth on Saturday in Dahlonega, Lady Indians' senior Ashley Brown now owns the school scoring record.
The Gainesville High boys basketball team rebounded from its first subregion loss with a 37-32 win against West Forsyth on Friday in Gainesville.
East Hall's boys and girls basketball programs are starting to play with the consistency its fans are used to seeing.
OAKWOOD - Fundamental skill is a necessity for any team hoping to be a contender.
JEFFERSON - Cole Hightower knows there isn't any shortcut or magic formula to explain Jefferson's success on the statewide stage in wrestling. The Dragons don't credit their triumphs to a stock of naturally superior athletes.
In the annals of high school basketball in Hall County, there have been freshman who have stood out.
The Vikings opened subregion play with on a winning note with a 75-63 win against Johnson on Tuesday in Gainesville.
FLOWERY BRANCH - If football is a game of inches, basketball is a game of seconds, and the Flowery Branch boys needed all 1,920 in the game to pull out its 70-68 win over Gainesville on Tuesday night at Flowery Branch High.

Jeremy Kemp still remembers the exact situation when he knew Michael Curry was going to play a crucial part in Gainesville's success this season.
The best thing Jake Higginbotham ever did for his fastball had nothing to do with his arms.
All-Area First Team Players
One head coach will be "coming full circle" to return to Gainesville High this fall, while another is preparing to square off against his former team.
Gainesville High senior Spencer Ralston shot a blistering 6-under par on the back nine Monday to finish tied for second in the U.S. Junior Amateur qualifier in Athens.
All-Area Golf Coach of the Year
As Madison Caldwell walked the fairway at Horseshoe Bend Country Club in Roswell, the Dawson County senior doubled over in the pain that she was feeling in the right side of her stomach, taking the breath out of her lungs for a second or two.
It's no longer about setting records or winning tournaments for Gainesville's Spencer Ralston - but he's more than happy to reap the benefits of his own hard work.
Gainesville High senior Spencer Ralston earned second place, behind a strong third-round 67, at the Georgia Junior Championship on Wednesday in Augusta. Ralston, the Class AAAAA Golfer of the Year, finished the 54-hole, three-day outing with a total score of 8-under (208).

Original Message
Aliens brought millions of people to an earth staged with ancient structures and paved roads 900 years ago to play out the roles assigned to them a-cross different countries of different cultures,faiths, and in the blinking of an eye believing they all lived here before and went about their everyday duties.
I've already proven that the 6 Great Empires of the past were fables, I started with the first, Egypt. (alpha)
Thread: DISCLOSURE: Human civilization is not older then 900 YEARS. -- All scientifically minded NUMBSKULLS welcomed!
Today I'll focus on the last great empire Rome (omega) and prove that Jesus and the dirty dozen were just made up.
The 12 apostles and Jesus were said to have walked this earth during a time when the Romans ruled the known world included was the conquest and occupation of Israel. (Jerusalem)
The Roman Empire was said to have reigned for almost 500 years beginning in 27-BC with Augustus Caesar and ended with Theodosius the Great 395-
The famous celebrated Jesus along with his 12 legendary disciples survived for more then 300 years already since the crucifiction and were finally acknowledged by the ruling class and all were inscribed unto the pages of our so-called history documented at the so-called historic council of Laodicea in 364 AD due to their popularity.
Yet, there are no portraits of Jesus or the last 12 fishermen made by anyone living at that time.
Yet, there are no poems written about the son of god by admires who were willing to die for Jesus, their lord.
Yet, there are no songs expressing love for him or about his valiant disciples who walked triumphantly before their enemies without their heads as most were beheaded.
Today you have real humans with real souls and emotions expressing their love for Jesus in poems,songs,plays,movies.

Where are the Jesus poems,songs and plays written by those people during the Roman days?
Where are the poems,songs and plays written by believers who loved the lord after the Fall of Rome? (500AD)
Where are the poems,songs and plays written by believers who walked the earth during 600 AD?
Where are the poems,songs and plays written by believers who walked the earth during 700 AD?
Where are the poems,songs and plays written by believers who walked the earth during 800 AD?
Where are the poems,songs and plays written by believers who walked the earth during 900 AD? --
Get the picture!
Why no portraits?
Jesus was making miracles of all sorts, healing, and feeding fish sandwiches to the thousands while the 12 fishermen brought their catch to the Market-place wrapped in Gospel-paper.
Non-existing portraits will never be forthcoming because this story took place within a fairytale called the Roman Empire written by the advanced species passed unto the humans they brought here 900 years ago who were already conditioned and convinced of these beliefs and its history.
Even this guy has a portrait circulating the World.

- Where is the proof that humans lived during the time of the Romans when Jesus and the headless 12 walked the earth?
- Where are these Jesus artistic expressions, or even documents of the Romans, on anything?
Its what is documented by humans about humanity like songs, poems, stories, plays, weather, wars, discoveries "in the news" sort of thing that speaks reality. These Jesus-Roman records and the fact that they are nowhere to be found would have been a witnessing testament that human life was lived during that timeframe.
The Roman records and there whereabouts will never be forthcoming because the human race didn't exist at that point in time to express the essence of the human soul and document that impression within the pages of True history like we do today with every expression we live, experience and love. The fact that Roman records are missing proves that earth was just a stage waiting for the actors to come and take their roles.
Its not like the Roman empire and its people completely disappeared from that geographical location. No! The Italians remained in Rome, why would there be no documents of their own past generations?
If your argument is one that the Italians grew tired of Roman songs in 500 AD and that they wished no longer to chant the poems of their ancestors greatness, or marvel at the portraits of their success wouldn't there be some place where these documents could be stored, like a Library?
- Its like nobody wrote anything during that period that expressed their Roman souls.
- Its like nobody sang a song.
- Its like nobody danced.
- Its like nobody wrote a poem.
- Its like nobody drew a picture, not even from a child that a Roman mom would hang on to remembering it by.
- Its like there were no important discussions or debates.
- Its like there were no ideas exchanged or suggestions to solutions to problems Rome either faced or were to face.
- Its like humans were not alive during that timeframe.
These missing Roman records is proof that people weren't around (including Jesus et al) when anthropologists archeologists and historians say the Roman Empire existed. But the most compelling proof are that of the missing (
never written
) documents that no society, no invading army, no form of stupidity rise to power would ever dare to remove or destroy, and these are the records of earthquakes which by the way only began to be documented 900 years ago.
Records of earthquakes would always survive.
link to earthquake.usgs.gov
The fear and the innate scientific curiosity of such earth shattering force would compel those living to properly inscribe this event with time and date for future access. Earthquakes aren't just a bad snow fall, or torrential rains which we today document regardless. Earthquakes would have scared those who lived on earth as it scares those living today to make notes and file these accounts for future access.
No my friends, we were brought here by advanced beings who set the earth up like a stage, all ancient buildings like Pyramids (great wall) all built by them. They also wrote all beliefs-systems. All religions from the origins (book of enoch) to the jewish torah,christian new testament,islamic koran are all false and never occurred. Included are the sumerian tablets,hinduism,buddhism,thoth atlantean, all derived from enochian theme storyline.
- Enoch was a make-believe character written by these advanced beings.
- The torah that followed was done to separate a class of people that would come to this earth and play-out that role.
- The same for the christians and their 12 apostles. Including zombie Jesus who died but lives, living-dead, lol!
- The same for mohamed koran b/s, building mosques where the make-believe Romans pulled down the fairytale Temple.
When the Aliens brought the humans (actors), the humans took up their beliefs (roles) on the stage (earth) designed and set-up by the advanced beings and the humans carried out their indoctrinated beliefs. The soldiers (humans) came alive on battlefield earth.

During the period known as the Crusades were the first recordings of earthquakes.

You will also note that these recordings also happened during what historians called "The Renaissance" -- Re-Birth.

The intelligent species had me believing that I was the last buck in the book of enoch, and that I was supposed to awaken others to that the world was under Nephilim leadership by showing that the Democratic & Republican animal symbols represented the Nephilim (chapter 86), only the camel between the asses and elephants in the dream were reserved to immortalized the words of zombie jesus to his followers: "You strain out the gnats fighting with atheist science dummies yet you swallowed the CAMEL whole!" --

Palm Beach Surf Forecast, Updated local surf forecast for SE Florida
Updated: July 3, 2015 - Surf forecast for the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast.
REWIND: Aside from a very small SE windchop wave, there hasn't been much.
High pressure parked offshore, light onshore flow for SE Florida hasn't done much for the surf. Low tide has seen a little somewhat rideable wave, especially for the groms and surf camps. Upcoast is seeing a little more of the background swell, and we may actually get a small bump up starting Tuesday. Nothing much more than waist high but it's something within driving distance at least. I think I will be checking it out. It's been a while!
Tropics are still very quiet, hostile conditions at the moment with nothing expected for a while.
SATURDAY-MONDAY: Small, weak 1-2' wind wave. Breaking at lower tides later in the day. Upcoast knee-thigh, maybe waist high SE swell continues.
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY: Slight increase in swell upcoast. Waist high Sebastian northward. Clean in the morning, onshore seabreeze in the afternoon will chop it up some.
Long Ranger Surfcast: New model run spinning up something in the gulf from the NW Caribbean. This would give us some windchop. It's not too far fetched though. The MJO pulse is going to be swinging in our neighborhood and that might be enough to spark something up. Don't get too excited yet though. It's at least two weeks away. Stay tuned!

Cameras to track cycle speeds along Bournemouth seafront
Council on the hunt for speeding cyclists
Cyclists riding faster than 10 mph along Bournemouth sea front this summer risk being caught on CCTV.
The town's borough council has stepped after a number of complaints about cyclists riding 'dangerously' and anyone caught will be provided with advice and information about seafront rules.
The move is the latest in a string of cycling-and-seafronts stories reported by road.cc this week. We described how a last-minute U-turn by Portsmouth's council leader stopped a plan to open up Southsea prom to cyclists in its track, which was followed by a victory for cyclists in Edinburgh after a ban on riding along Portobello prom was lifted after 20 years.
Bournemouth does have a shared cycle/pedestrian lane along the promenade part of its seafront, but in July and August cyclists can only use it before 10am and after 6pm.
According to the Bournemouth Echo, beach hut owners are supporting the council's latest initiative.
Last August, a two-year-old was rushed to hospital following a collision with a cyclist at Alum Chine. The child suffered a deep cut that went right through her ear, as well as other cuts and bruises.
Jim Dooley, who has a hut at West Cliff, said many cyclists were still riding dangerously: "We see loads of people who ride far too fast. They're going to hit a little kid sooner or later, it's only a matter of time."
Officers will be down on the seafront four times this month to see how many cyclists currently break the 10mph speed limit.
But the council does not have the power to hand out fines to those cycling too fast, because cyclists are unable to monitor their own speed.
However, it can hand out fines to those who breach the ban on cycling on the promenade, which it says it intends to do.
Charmaine Andrews, service development officer for leisure services, said: "We have a duty to ensure the promenade is a safe environment for people to enjoy. We have had reports of people speeding on bikes along the seafront and what we don't want to see is a cyclist racing along the promenade accidentally knocking down a small child that gets in his or her way."
Officers will be on the seafront this Saturday and Sunday, next Wednesday (June 10) and Thursday, June 18.
Courtney James, a hut owner since 1982, said: "What I don't like about the cyclists is they dart and swerve amongst pedestrians rather than ease up on their speed.
"I've had one cyclist ride into me while I've been sat here and we see lots of minor accidents and near misses."
Last summer, seafront wardens and police community support officers failed to issue any fines to cyclists caught flouting the ban but did hand out formal warning letters to 32 cyclists.
Comment to the Echo's website included one from Peggy Babcock in Poole, who said that cycling along the prom was the safest way to commute, and that "a speed limit is useless as it cannot be enforced."
She added: "I'm all for having restrictions, but why a blanket ban during July and August? Take an approach whereby if it is not busy (e.g. bad weather), then relax the rules. If it is busy, then enforce them.
"Other times of the year can be just as busy (sunny weekends). Why are rules not enforced then? I know why - there is no-one to do it in the off-season."
Sorry but everyone needs to take responsibility. Cyclists need to ride to the conditions and as such slow down where there are pedestrians but at the same time pedestrians should be aware of cyclists using the same paths.
Here on the bristol bath cycletrack the number of times families and older people walk 4 or 5 abreast completely blocking the path is madness, then they get angry when you ask to get past. We both use these paths, tracks, seafronts.
Cylists ride to the conditions, pedestrians the world is not meant to revolve around you so have some awareness.
not all carbon is the same.

I hate shared paths - bad for pedestrians and cyclists alike.
I wouldn't use the one I use up in Manchester now, had a bus driver not made it clear to me that my presence on the road when the path was available meant that he was perfectly entitled to crush me beneath his wheels.
I find the best mindset to use is one of not expecting to get anywhere fast on them, whilst expecting that pedestrians will obstruct you from time to time. Live and let live, and all that.

It was a beautiful Saturday as seven of us rode out to Ojai, CA. My brother and I stayed in Ojai for lunch while the other five rode up Highway 33, one of the best motorcycle roads in all of southern California. To my surprise one of the riders was still a beginner; he had only been riding for four months or so and was brought along by a more experienced friend.

It's Spring, Time to Ride Again
Spring is finally here and it's time to start riding again, that is if your region has adequately thawed out. If you haven't ridden your bike in a few months, may I suggest the following:
- Check tire pressure
- Get some fresh gas in the tank
- Clean and lube the chain
- If your battery's dead, get a trickle charger to bring it back to life
For those of you thinking about a first bike this year, we'll have an updated list of our preferred beginner bikes for 2015 soon. Stay safe out there.
V-Twin vs. Inline 4: Riding Impressions
Last year I wrote a post about the differences between the various engine types you might encounter in sportbikes, but since then have received a lot of questions about the differences in riding a v-twin vs. an inline 4 motorcycle. The sportbikes I usually recommend for beginners have parallel twin engines, but most sportbike riders eventually want to own a sportbike that has a v-twin or inline 4 and want to know what the differences are when riding down the road. This is not meant to be a nerdy technical exercise, but rather a focus on the riding impressions of each engine type. Continue reading V-Twin vs. Inline 4: Riding Impressions
Yamaha YZF-R3 Joins the Beginner Sportbike Battle
Yamaha has just introduced the brand new 2015 YZF-R3, adding to what is arguably the best era ever for beginner motorcycle riders who want a sportbike. With the Kawasaki Ninja 300, Honda CBR300R and upcoming KTM RC390 to choose from as well, new riders now have the best selection ever of beautiful yet easy-to-ride sportbikes. The R3 should start showing up in dealerships around March 2015.
The R3 has a lot to like for beginners, notably a 321cc twin-cylinder engine producing a manageable 30.9 kW (41.4 HP) and a low 30.7″ seat height. These are two critical factors when it comes to beginner-friendly sportbikes; the smaller engine makes it easier to use the power smoothly, and a lower seat height makes the bike easier to control at stops and parking situations. The bike's sharp looks don't hurt either; experienced riders will need to take a very close look to realize it's not a 600cc supersport. Add the R3 to your wish list if you're a new rider in the market for a sportbike. This sure beats what I had to choose from 10 years ago when I was starting out.
Lane Splitting Update – California's DMV and CHP Remove Guidelines from Websites
Both the California DMV and California Highway Patrol have removed any language pertaining to motorcycle lane splitting from their websites and printed materials, in what appears to be an effort to distance themselves from any perception of endorsing the practice. California is the only state that allows (or rather, doesn't disallow) lane splitting or lane sharing by motorcycles. For the record, I still split lanes on occasion but do so rather conservatively. You can read the article I wrote about it a few years ago here:
Lane Splitting — Time Saver or Insanity?
Source: Los Angeles Times
Honda CBR300R – Honda's Updated Beginner Sportbike
In an effort to battle Kawasaki's excellent Ninja 300, a battle that's producing great things for beginner sportbike riders, Honda has increased the engine size from 250cc to 300cc in its starter CBR model. It retains its single cylinder configuration, producing a slightly different power delivery than the parallel twin of the Ninja. This is great news for new riders, as one of the knocks on the CBR250R was that it lacked a little power on the highway. The new motor has topped 100 MPH in early tests, making it easily imaginable for commuting duty while still retaining very beginner-friendly power. Add it to your checklist if you're looking for a new starter sportbike.

Oh man, track days are so awesome. Sportbikes are made for the track, so there's no better place to experience one than in its native environment. There's also an incredible side benefit to improving your skills; professional photographers are present at most track days. Looking at photos of yourself in action is an underrated tool for improvement. I've poured over countless photos of myself at various track days through the years, comparing my body positioning to those of professional racers and highly skilled riders to see what I could do better. I'm still trying to get things right, but having photos of myself at the track went a long way in improving my skills.
If you're a newer rider looking to get into track days, you can check out the Track Day Starter Guide to see what it's all about. (Hint: It's not that hard to get started.)
That said, I am not a fan of street photographers that hang out at busy mountain roads to take photos of motorcycle riders or people in their cars. I respect their entrepreneurial effort, but have seen so many people crash trying to show off for the cameras or make u-turns in ill-advised locations to get themselves onto camera repeated times. It's my opinion that a photographer's presence can make an already dangerous road even worse. If you want to see what I'm talking about, just search for "mulholland motorcycle crash" on youtube and grab a drink… it's gonna take a while to get through them all.
Riding Canyon Roads Safely
Twisty roads are something many sportbike riders look forward to every weekend, myself included. Here in Los Angeles we have an iconic mountain road right in our backyard called Angeles Crest Highway (aka ACH or The Crest), endless canyon roads in the hills surrounding the Malibu coast and various other excellent mountain roads within an hour's ride. Perhaps you've heard of Deal's Gap and The Snake, an infamous stretch of curvy forest road in the Smoky Mountains along the North Carolina / Tennessee border. These roads attract motorcycle riders of all kinds; some looking for fresh air and scenery, others looking for the thrill of running turn after turn at speed. These roads can also be dangerous, so it's important to enjoy them safely by following a few simple guidelines. Continue reading Riding Canyon Roads Safely
Best New Beginner Bikes – 2014 Edition
This year's best beginner sportbike is the Ninja 300. Seriously, just look at the thing. Kawasaki has done a tremendous job of making the Ninja 300 a thing of desire; experienced riders (including me) have trouble distinguishing it from its bigger brothers. It can top 100 MPH making it more than suitable for freeway duty while retaining very beginner-friendly power. It's light, inexpensive, available with ABS, has good ergonomics for a beginner and its high demand means it can be easily resold once you're ready to move on to something else. Winner. Now that I got the easy part out of the way, on to the rest.
