Once at NightShe woke up late at night—or early in the morning, as she later assumed—and stepped first off their bed, then through the kitchen, then out the door, off the first porch step, and rather than stepping down onto the second as she had so many times before, she simply floated.Once at Night by willwriteforhearts
It came on impulse. Natural. Like a breath. She breathed a calm in and out before taking the next step into the air, ascending like particles of dust in sunlight. Five steps, and she was above the rooftop of the house. Five steps more and she was forgetting what it felt like to be on the ground. She'd fantasized about flying thousands of times before and it'd always been like swimming in her head, laborious, but when it finally happened it was simply like using a limb she hadn't been aware of possessing before.
The night was cold and, despite it having been a rainy winter, the stars were naked and unveiled, pressing hard against her head. She stepped up to meet them. The trees were gett
A Nice Wash Between the EarsThe first time she suspected something wasn't when Daddy told her not to care about mothers, or her arm snapped and her brain turned off like a light switch, or the time she found the "Family AI Inc." card under his bed when she was cleaning his room. No. There was always an explanation waiting for her around the corner. She did not suspect. She did not care to. She did not want to. She did not need to.A Nice Wash Between the Ears by willwriteforhearts
The day she found the business card, she tossed it into the trash incinerator, got a lollipop from the hospital-esque jar on the kitchen counter, and went off to meet her new tutor in Daddy's private zoo. She was seventeen. Her hair was long and licked the crooks of her elbows with wispy blonde tongues, unsplit and soft, which Daddy liked a lot. He said she was very pretty and nice and told her at age ten that he wanted her to be taught at home for a while because she was his precious Riborg, and she did not mind because she believed him. Seven years was a long w
BlueThe only window in the city—a small skylight on the roof of Globe Four—has been uncovered today, but all I see through it is the toxic fog. It blocks the whole thing, but that's what I imagine it's like every day outside anyways: thick, blue, moving but static. They say it's from the acid rain at night, but I never hear rain like they say it sounds in the movies, or thunder for that matter, or anything at all. The walls of Globe Four are thick, I guess.Blue by willwriteforhearts
I don't look for very long.
I wave at my mother as I re-enter the house, seeing her currently poised in front of the handheld mirror she's set on the kitchen table. She's already dressed for the ceremonies, wearing a silver dress with a slit to show off her leg (the good leg, not the one made from metal) and her favorite blonde wig, the one that covers her shoulders in strict waves. Wanting to look good for the Progenitor, our leader, no doubt. She's got a thing for him. The way she
Matt and Jub's Glorious DayStreet lamps blaze with their electric harshness, igniting each of their heads with a singular beam of light as the three walk underneath them and up the hill to the nearest bus stop. The rest of the street is darkness.Matt and Jub's Glorious Day by willwriteforhearts
Anticipation locks their tongues—Jub reaches for Elodie's hand and squeezes it. She squeezes back, faintly, hesitantly. She slips her hand out of his after a second, giving him a curt smile before looking away and composing herself once again.
Matt keeps stride on Jub's other side, twiddling, twiddling, twiddling his toothpick. His heart is a freight train. Looking at his friend, he wishes that they'd decided to sleep in.
On their seventh day of unemployment, Matt woke up with a hole in his boxers. Probably the result one of the crawling, less visible inhabitants of the apartment, which was his first thought and the first of many things he ignored that day.
Light peeped through the shutters and shot him right in the eyes when he sat up. He bli

'Fairy Tale' ContestFairy Tale
BestestFriendContest Group ENTRIES
Bestest Friend (DreamingAutumn) and I are back with another contest!
This contest's theme is 'Fairy Tale'! What does that mean? Well, why don't you just ruminate, whilst I illuminate the possibilities...
Simply put, you write something related to "fairy tale", that could be ANYTHING. Want to write your own fairy tale? Go for it! Want to modernize or rewrite the ending for an existing tale, do it! You can even incorporate another element into it. Maybe it's a cross between Sci-Fi and Fantasy or a Mystery and Fantasy tale! Or do some combination, how about a Snow White Sci-Fi where she is the one kissing the prince awake? The possibilities are endle
Childhood Fears Contest!:iconMadHattersSociety:
The new contest is as much of a challenge as it is a contest. The theme is "Childhood Fears." Was it the sound of a train in the night, before you knew what trains were? A shadow on the wall at a certain time of day? Something from a movie that you were too young to see? Maybe even a children's story that spooked you; the Brothers Grimm were pretty grim.
The idea is to represent that fear in your chosen field of art/literature. The more edgy, off-balance, and surreal it is, the better the chance of winning. The contest will run through January first, 2015, so you'll have plenty of time. Don't procrastinate, though, get to creating!
So far the prizes are 400 points for first pace, 300 for second, and 175 for third in each category. There will be two categories, one for visual art and one for literature. (more points will be added as donations come in)

ABSTRACT: The RNA molecule is substantiated to play important functions in living cells. The class of RNA with pseudoknots, has essential roles in designing remedies for many virus diseases in therapeutic domain. These various useful functions can be inferred from RNA secondary structure with pseudoknots. Many computational intensive efforts have been emerged with the aim of predicting the pseudoknotted RNA secondary structure. The computational approaches are much promising to predict the RNA structure. The reason behind this is that, the experimental methods for determining the RNA tertiary structure are difficult, timeconsuming and tedious. In this paper, we introduce ABCRna, a novel method for predicting RNA secondary structure with pseudoknots. This method combines heuristic-based KnotSeeker with a thermodynamic programming model, UNAFold. ABCRna is a hybrid swarm-based intelligence method inspired by the secreting honey process in natural honey-bee colonies. The novel aspect of this method is adapting Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and knowledge base, two prominent Artificial Intelligence techniques. They are employed particularly to enhance the quality performance of the proposed method. The CBR provides an intelligent decision, which results more accurate predicted RNA structure. This modified ABCRna method is tested using different kinds of RNA sequences to prove and compare its efficiency against other pseudoknotted RNA predicted methods in the literature. The proposed ABCRna algorithm performs faster with significant improvement in accuracy, even for long RNA sequences.

ABSTRACT: Problem statement: Finding an accurate RNA structural alignment from primary sequence due to it is time consuming and computationally NP-hard problem is a major bioinformatics challenge. According to our investigation majority of current researches were concerned on achieving faster execution time, improving space complexity and better cache management. Recently one research introduced cache-efficient Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) algorithms with good speed-up to exploit parallelism in detection the critical path length. Our contribution in this article was a comprehensive survey of methods for solving RNA secondary structure prediction with Pseudoknots (PK) and sequence alignment in bioinformatics. The aim was to highlight the challenges related issues which would provide sufficient information to assist the new coming researchers in this field as well as a good reference guide for bioinformatics professionals. Approach: We computed various algorithms that predicted an RNA molecules secondary structure from primary sequence, without pseudoknots from one side and pseudoknotted RNA secondary structure in the other side. Furthermore, we also reviewed and compared in two tables the methods that developed for RNA structural predictions. Results: Our findings of this survey confirmed that Dynamic Programming (DP) method via CMP algorithms can be used to predict the RNA secondary structure with simple PK and it gives good results. Conclusion: The methods for predicting RNA's structural are coming in two groups: Firstly, pseudoknotted RNA structural problem is computationally complex and secondly, common methods significantly gave not accurate enough results for predicting pseudoknotted RNA.

You probably don't think about the tubes you put inside your tires, but with Vittoria's Latex Road Tubes, you'll have a slight advantage when it comes to speed. In testing, latex tubes are smooth enough to reduce rolling resistance by a few watts. And while a few watts may not seem like much, when you add in that nearly 75 grams of weight are shed by switching to the Latex tubes, the seemingly innocuous tube starts to make a dent in your results. The lighter tubes mean quicker acceleration. In addition to being faster, latex tubes are also more elastic to increase puncture resistance.

Great tubes
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
-Removable valve core! If you have deep wheels, this is essential. Michelin latex tubes don't have the removable core.
-Rides like butter. Seriously, butyl feels rougher.
-Lowers the rolling resistance of your wheels by 3-6 watts, saving you at least four weeks of hard interval training to get the same speed.
-Corners better, or at least more confidently, than butyl.
-More resilient to small pokes that get through the tire's puncture protection. Even if there is a puncture, it's usually very slow and won't produce a catastrophic deflation (you know, the "pop-hisssss" or, worse, "BANG!") unless the tire itself somehow gets wrecked. Situations where my tire's been compromised have been pretty much the only way I've gotten flats on the road with these tubes.
-Easier to tell if the tire's been compromised because the pink is really visible, unlike the black of your standard butyl tube.
-Latex is delicate and it's easy to get a bit caught between the tire and rim when installing, which will cause a tear when you inflate. You have to check to make sure the tube is safe with each installation.
-If the tire gets a deep nick, the tube will gradually poke out and the road will tear it up. Usually some electrical tape inside the tire will do the job unless it's a really bad nick, but it's something you need to keep an eye out for. It's easy though because eyeballing the tire if you see any nicks where you can also see the pink of the tube you need to take some remedial action.
-Latex will also stick to the tire when you're trying to dismount the tire unless you added talc beforehand. This, again, can make it easy to damage the latex. Adding talc makes mounting easier anyway so it's worth doing for that alone.
-I've had zero luck with glueless patches. The best way to repair is with glued patches. On the plus side, you can tear up old tubes and use them as patches rather than having to buy more.
-You do have to inflate every ride. But I do this anyway and it's...what...20 seconds to do. Big freaking inconvenience.
-You shouldn't use CO2 to reinflate.
Note that all of the cons are general to latex tubes and not these Vittorias specifically. I use these all the time and love them.
They just fell apart... no really
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
OK some of what I ordered actually ended up making it onto the tyre but the majority fell apart in the box. Now, I do live in Panama (+90F 90% humidity) which is probably the route cause of the problem. So I guess if you live in the heat store them in the fridge.
held up better than expected
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I kept reading how this type of tube looses air but I rarely have had to add any, no different than any other tubes I've run. As of yet I have really to feel any difference between these or the q tubes I've been using.
Only option if you want to go fast!!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
If you are running a high quality clincher tire you need to be using latex tubes, period. The rolling resistance numbers are often better than comparable tubular tires. There is real free speed on the table when switching to latex tubes. The vittoria's are well made and high quality. If you were going to get a flat on a standard tube it will probably flat the latex the same. Also you are not going to feel a difference, there is no real way to perceive a difference from a standard tube, but just because you can't feel a difference does not mean you are not getting an slight advantage.
Pro Tip: Don't let these sit in a hot car and be very careful not to pinch the tubes when installing.
Sticking with these tubes.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I have put a good amount of miles on these tubes and have noticed a difference immediately. My bike has always been pretty harsh over bumps and cracks but this smooths it out. I raved about them and my friend put some on his bike and he says he doesn't notice too much of a difference. I didn't buy them to save weight but they are really light, kinda like a balloon. I'm 250lbs on a Cervelo S5/ Conti 4000GP
They're Fine
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have no reason to doubt the reviews that state these tubes are more difficult to puncture or those that state latex tubes offer less rolling resistance. However, for those who are expecting a dramatic change when they install these, all I can provide are my initial impressions. And to sum them up, if I had not installed them myself I would not have known the tires had been switched from butyl to latex. I hope that the tubes are less prone to puncture (not that I've ever punctured a butyl tube, but my day is coming I imagine), and if they do offer less rolling resistance that's nice too. But if you're buying them because they'll "feel" different, you might be disappointed.
Just curious. What were the tires you were using them with? Also, what wheel/bike?
Great for Cyclocross racing
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I use these for racing cross because they are a little more forgiving than other tubes and they add an element of suspension to your ride. They have a removable core which I squirt 2 oz of Stans in during the fall when we get thorns. Usually I have to redo my Stans treatment in my tubeless mountain bike set up once a month because it dries up. In these tubes the Stans stayed viscous for over four months. Like all latex tubes you have to pump them up before every ride.
Next best thing to Tubulars
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
These have been great. I have used the 23mm latex tubes and the 25 mm fitted with high quality 25mm tires offers a great ride quality and improves the bike for a fraction of other ways to acheive ride quality
Werd !
These work very well! Totally awesome, last a long time, and repairable with regular vulcanizing patch/repair kits if need be ;)
Valve cores are removable, which make it nice to be able to use with deeper carbon rims. I like the fact that there is a 25mm version - as running 25mm tires pairs up well like pancakes and eggs :) Weight weenies say 76gms for the 23mm and 87gms respectively for the tubes. Compared to a Specialized Turbo Ultra Lite Tube in same valve length (cores not removable) and width - these are exactly the same weight +/- a gram or two - and unfortunately they retail for $17! So that said - get these, waaaaay better :)
You have to try a set!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
PROS: Softer ride, better contact with the pavement, decreased rolling resistance. This product makes the hassle of tubulars unnecessary. You need to have a set if only for race day.
CONS: You need to pump them up on rides >24 hours apart. They definitely do lose air faster than butyl tubes.
Four stars only because there is one drawback, as mentioned.
Love these pink latex tubes
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I purchased these after reading several articles on latex tubes. Very light and supposed to provide better feel and better rolling resistance (according to a few studies). Anyway, I've had zero problems. And no increased flats vs butyl tubes.
I've had exactly one flat in 6 months with these tubes (inside my Pave 3's). I patched it with no problems with the classic Rema Tip-Top patch kit.
You -do- have to top off with air before every ride (I loose about 10-15 psi overnight). So, I top off before every ride. No big deal.
I pair these tubes with Vittoria Pave tires for fast riding/training (on my poor roads locally) and with Vittoria Corsa tires for race and timed applications. Great combination!
Quality and Durability
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
These are awesome replacement tubes if you have a flat. They haven't given me any trouble and are holding up great, as I have used them many times. Keep in mind, you need to order two if you need two replacement tubes.
Save your money
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
If you're spending this much on a tube don't you think you should just buy a set of tubulars?
Latex, and only latex...you know why?
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
If one has a multi-thousand dollar bike, that rolls on high dollar wheels, shod with tires that cost more than those on your car, why would one run a cheap-ass butyl tubes? Seriously. I never understood it. Still don't...
If you run crap tires, again...why?, then a butyl tube is largely peeing into the breeze. If you are running a high TPI, performance oriented tire (Vitt OC, Conti 4000S, Veloflex, Challenge, etc.), then there's little reason NOT to run latex.
They improve ride quality, and lower rolling resistance. Don't shake your head, it's been proven...
As for the cost, swing by your LBS, and check out how much a lightweight, long valve butyl tube is going for. Yeah...$12-15. At that point, just spend the extra couple of bucks, and get Latex. Just buy a smaller cup of coffee for a few days to make up the difference!
I run these things in my Vitt OC CX, and OC SC tires. Like butter on a bald monkey....smoooooth.
And (knocks on wood), I seem to get less punctures, as the supple tire, mated with a supple tube, inflated to the correct pressure, just seems to roll OVER road debris, instead of picking it up. Yes, this has been proven too...
Sure, have a crappy butyl tube in your saddle bag, but only to get you home.
Mark, I just purchased threei 4000S 25mm tires. Vittoria offers two sizes of latex tubes a 18-23 or a 25-28, I'm leaning towards the larger tube so as not to stretch the latex too thin. What are your thoughts on tube sizing for a 25 mm tire? Thanks, Gianni
Gianni- I'd go with the bigger tubes for the exact reason you stated.
Mark, if i have a 700x23 Vitt OC CX III, should i just stick with the 18-23? Doing a 70.3 tri and was just wondering because of Gianni's question.
JGalloway- Sorry, I didn't see this before. I run 23mm OC CX 3 tires, and run the 18-23mm tubes. Even on my 23mm wide rims, which make the Vitts about 25mm. A tire any bigger though, and I'd go with the bigger tubes.
Pricey, but great ride quality
Pair these with a nice tire like Michelin Pro Race, Conti Grand Prix 4000S, or Vittoria Evo Corsa, and you'll get the closest ride quality to a tubular possible. The valve cores are removable, so I'm using Tufo valve extenders to run on deep section wheels. Unlike butyl tubes, these do not stretch so make sure you get the right size for your tires.
Like it!
First time riding latex and i like it. Wouldn't say I feel too much of a difference as others have hyped about; but i like the fact that i have yet to pinch flat all summer! I re-inflate my tires every ride so pumping them up didn't bother me
Yes these do make a big difference!
After spending 6 months off the bike recovering from a herniated disc in my lower back, a friend recommended that I try latex tubes to soften up the ride. I thought he was crazy because there's no way a tube can make a difference in the ride quality, right? I was surely wrong because I could tell on my maiden voyage with the latex tubes the significant improvement! For one, the latex tubes feel as if they do a better job absorbing road vibrations. Secondly, and this could be my imagination, but there seemed to be a decrease in rolling resistance as well. Yes, it's true that you have to fill these up with air before every ride, which probably negates the benefit to my back, but overall this an inexpensive and great upgrade for your bike. I also rode with the same pair of tubes from August to December and did not get one flat (~1,500 miles). Bottom line is these are highly recommended and should be standard on everyone's bikes!
Vittoria Latex Tube is great
After blowing through multiple cheapy tubes I decided to try these out. The Vittoria Latex Tube holds air much better and handles much more of a beating than those other lame tubes. These are definitely worth a try if you have problems with your tubes leaking or popping easy.
25-28c good for cross
I use the big ones for cyclocross since they are almost as large as the challenge tubes. I think they work better than the larger challenge tubes, which can be cumbersome to install. I run 35 psi and think 30-32 is doable. I weigh 160 lbs. I am amazed I haven't pinch flatted considering the abuse I've put these through. But the tubes have nice thick and supple walls and seem to take the hits in stride.
Get them, you will not be disappointed
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I don't often write reviews, but when I do you can be certain it was well worth my time.
The latex tube (irregardless of Mfr.) is one of the most under-appreciated additions any serious roadie should consider for their ride.
I mounted my race tires in March of this year with these exact tubes and a set of Continental Attack/Force tires for my CAAD9 race rig. Throughout an entire race season of 30+ races and all the training miles between ranging from crits, to full on road courses, these tubes have performed flawlessly. They lose about 10psi of air over the course of 24 hours, but if you are a dedicated cyclist, you should be checking your tire pressures daily anyway.
I have hit multiple potholes, rocks and debris that should have flatted my tires on the spot with nary an incident. Where I watched fellow racers and friends flat on courses, I kept racing and finishing strong. Since my initial purchase earlier this year, I have purchased two spares to keep in my seat bag and replaced only the rear Force tire from finally showing cord in the tread. I re-used the same tube and it is still running strong. They weigh 75 grams each which is inconsequential in the grand scheme of rolling resistance.
For the time that these tubes have lasted, I would have bought multiple butyl rubber tubes and spent the same amount of money, if not more. They pay for themselves over the course of a season.
Great feedback, happy like a pig in mud, I do Fondo rides & avg. during the season 200-250+miles a week, man these are the best tubes for value but need to pair with top tires, I only use Vittoria Open Corsa 25mm w 23 latex, the ride is like fugetaboutit. I mean silk, like in Clement tubulars, pay little more & pump it little more worth it for those big boy rides.
I'm getting the vittoria open pave evo...
I'm getting the vittoria open pave evo clincher tires soon and they are a 700x24...
The latex tubes are available in either a 700x23 or 700-25 (yes, I know both offer a range, I am mentioning the max on one, and the min on the other).
I'm inclined to get the 23 so it stretches up to the 24, as opposed to having the larger tube with more weight.
Don't bother. This looks like it is a little late but I've ran the Pave for a long time now and normal tubes are just fine. Vittoria tires are the best. No need to waist your money on a tube that may last you a week.
Huh...a week? Don't know where you got that info. I actually get FEWER flats with latex, as when paired with a high tpi tire, the combination is MORE supple, and tends to run over road debris, rather than having the debris get forced thru the tire, into the tube.
I actually DID have a flat a couple of weeks ago, and the latex tube leaked about half of it's air, then stopped. I rode 5 miles to the store stop on 50-60psi without issue. Never had a butyl tube do that. (Veloflex tire. It had a cut THRU the tread and casing)
And honestly, if one invests $5000 on a bike, and rides $1000+ wheels, and $75 tires, why would one use a $4 butyl tube?
Does this tube have a removable core?
Does this tube have a removable core?
Yes, they are RMC (removable valve core).
how long are the stems? and are the valve...
how long are the stems? and are the valve cores removable?
Just checked with Real Cyclist chat and got the answer - "they are 51mm and they are RMC (removable valve core)"

Sildenafil (Viagra)
What is sildenafil (Viagra)?
Sildenafil (Viagra) was the first oral phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor approved by the FDA in the United States for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (it is not approved for women). Sildenafil inhibits PDE5, which is an enzyme that destroys cGMP. By inhibiting the destruction of cGMP by PDE5, sildenafil allows cGMP to accumulate. The cGMP in turn prolongs relaxation of the smooth muscle of the corpora cavernosa. Relaxation of the corpora cavernosa smooth muscle allows blood to flow into the penis resulting in increased engorgement of the penis. In short, sildenafil increases blood flow into the penis and decreases blood flow out of the penis.
How effective is sildenafil (Viagra)?
Sildenafil is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction of either physical or psychological cause. It has been found to be effective in treating erectile dysfunction in men with coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, depression, coronary artery bypass surgery, and men who are taking antidepressants and several classes of antihypertensives.
In randomized controlled trials, an estimated 60% of men with diabetes, and 80% of men without diabetes experienced improved erections with sildenafil.
How should sildenafil (Viagra) be administered?
Sildenafil is available as oral tablets at doses of 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. It should be taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. In some men, the onset of action of the drug may be as early as 11-20 minutes. Sildenafil should be taken on an empty stomach for best results since absorption and effectiveness of sildenafil can be diminished if it is taken shortly after a meal, particularly a meal that is high in fat.
What is the dose of sildenafil (Viagra)?
In prescribing sildenafil, a doctor considers the age, general health status, and other medication(s) the patient is taking. The usual starting dose for most men is 50 mg, however, the doctor may increase or decrease the dose depending on side effects and effectiveness. The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg every 24 hours, however, many men will need 100 mg of sildenafil for optimal effectiveness, and some doctors are recommending 100 mg as the starting dose.
Metabolism (breakdown) of sildenafil is slowed by aging, liver and kidney dysfunction, and concurrent use of certain medications (such as erythromycin [an antibiotic] and protease inhibitors for HIV). Slowed breakdown allows sildenafil to accumulate in the body and potentially may increase the risk of side effects. Therefore in men over 65, in men with substantial kidney and liver disease, and in men who also are taking protease inhibitors, the doctor will initiate sildenafil at a lower dose (25 mg) to avoid accumulation of sildenafil in the body. A protease inhibitor ritonavir (Norvir) is especially potent in increasing the accumulation of sildenafil, thus men who are taking Norvir should not take sildenafil doses higher than 25 mg and at a frequency of no greater than once in 48 hours.
What are the side effects of sildenafil (Viagra)?
Sildenafil has been found to be well tolerated without important side effects. The reported side effects are usually mild and include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, nausea, dyspepsia (stomach discomfort), diarrhea, and abnormal vision (seeing a bluish hue or brightness).
Sildenafil can cause hypotension (abnormally low blood pressure that can lead to fainting and even shock) when given to patients who are taking nitrates (for heart disease). Therefore, patients taking nitrates daily should not take sildenafil. Nitrates are used most commonly to relieve angina (chest pain due to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle because of narrowing of the coronary arteries); these include nitroglycerine tablets, patches, ointments, sprays, and pastes, as well as isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate. Other nitrates such as amyl nitrate and butyl nitrate also are found in some recreational drugs called "poppers."
Sildenafil should be used cautiously in men on alpha-blockers such as doxazosin (Cardura), terazosin (Hytrin), and tamsulosin (Flomax). There have been occasional reports of low blood pressure in men who have taken the two classes of drugs simultaneously and therefore it is recommended that there be at least a span of four to six hours between the ingestion of sildenafil and alpha-blockers.
There have been rare reports of priapism (prolonged and painful erections lasting more than six hours) with the use of PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil, especially when sildenafil is used in combination with injection of medications into the corpora cavernosa or intraurethral suppositories. Patients with blood cell diseases such as sickle cell anemia, leukemia, and multiple myeloma have higher than normal risks of developing priapism. Untreated priapism can cause injury to the penis and lead to permanent impotence. Therefore, sildenafil should not be used in combination with intraurethral suppositories and corpora cavernosa injections. If there is prolonged erection (longer than four hours), immediate medical assistance should be obtained.
Is it safe for men with heart disease to use sildenafil (Viagra)?
Sildenafil has been found to be effective and safe in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men with stable heart disease due to atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, provided that they are not on any type of nitrates. The real concern is not as much the safety of sildenafil but the risk of sexual activity in triggering heart attacks or abnormal heart rhythms in patients with heart disease.
The risk of developing heart attacks or abnormal heart rhythms during sex is low in men with well-controlled hypertension, mild disease of the heart valves, well-controlled heart failure, mild and stable angina (with a favorable treadmill stress test), successful coronary stenting or bypass surgery, and a remote history of heart attack (more than eight weeks previously). Sildenafil can be used safely in men in these lower-risk groups.
The risk of heart attack or abnormal heart rhythms during sex is higher in men with unstable angina (angina that occurs at rest or with minimal exertion), poorly controlled hypertension, moderate to severe heart failure, moderate to severe disease of the heart valves, recent heart attack (less than two weeks previously), potentially life-threatening disorders of heart rhythm such as recurrent ventricular tachycardia, and moderate to severe disease of the heart muscles. In these men, doctors usually stabilize or treat the heart conditions before prescribing sildenafil.
Before starting sildenafil for erectile dysfunction, a doctor may need to determine whether the heart can safely achieve the workload necessary for sexual activity. For example, in men with coronary artery heart disease, a doctor may perform a treadmill stress test to determine whether there is adequate blood supply to the heart muscle while exercising at levels comparable to sexual activity.

Source: http://www.turnto10.com/story/25078097/slideshow-calamari-as-state-appetizer
The jobless rate in Rhode Island currently stands at 9%, the highest in the nation by a sizable percentage. Compared to neighboring states Massachusetts (6.5%) and Connecticut (7.2%), the Ocean State's job prospects are pretty dismal. When confronted with these statistics, one would expect that Rhode Island's lawmakers would do something to improve the business climate of the state, but instead, today they're considering a bill that would declare calamari as the official state appetizer.
In what has been a nearly year-long effort to name fried squid rings served with banana peppers as the state appetizer, the Rhode Island House of Representatives will be reviewing the proposed bill today.
A similar bill introduced last year passed through the House of Representatives but did not get through the Senate. Both bills were introduced by Rep. Joe McNamara, a Democrat representing the bayside city of Warwick. McNamara claims that naming calamari the official state appetizer will help boost the state's fishing industry and economy.
Rhode Island has the largest squid fishing fleet on the east coast and brings in roughly half of the east coast's squid catch.
No other state has a designated official appetizer, although some have created official foods, beverages, and desserts.
While calamari is certainly delicious, shouldn't Rhode Island's leaders focus more of their efforts on job creation rather than fried squid?

Who Could Play Leroy?
What if Leroy were a movie? I mean his story, of course. We'd all need a lot of Kleenex. It would be a tearjerker.
But who could fill those shoes? Who would be cast in the leading role? He'd have to be a big guy. Not just tall, but big, with broad shoulders, and he'd have to know how to use his size. Then there's the laugh. Who in Hollywood could match that deep, robust laugh? That was Leroy's calling card.
Most important of all, who could capture the "Leroy" part of Leroy? Strength. Humor. Stubbornness. Impatience. Compassion. A communicator, with a huge heart.
And he'd have to have an appetite, too. Macadamia nut-encrusted ahi. Crab cakes. Unlimited chocolate and plenty of good Chardonnay, just for starters.
This could be the role of a lifetime! Far too short a lifetime.

Free range eggs, fresh bread, homemade cheese and yogurt, and organic local produce abound at the Columbus farmers market. For me it is all about eating local food in season not only helping the environment but it helps mycommunity too. Another reason I love farmers' markets is because buying farm fresh veggies in season forces me to try new things. I get into ruts cooking the same old carrots or string beans as side dishes but when I find fresh golden beets or blue fingerling potatoes one week, I am inspired to dig through recipe websites and try something new

Every year, the newly elected officers of the AIHEC Student Congress (ASC) develop and adopt initiatives to focus their efforts throughout their term.

Man who designed the Dallas Cowboys' logo dies
Updated: February 15, 2013, 5:44 PM ETAssociated Press
DALLAS -- The man credited with designing the famed blue star logo of the Dallas Cowboys has died.
The Cowboys say Jack Eskridge died Monday at a Valley Falls, Kan., hospital. The funeral for the 89-year-old former Cowboys equipment manager is scheduled for Saturday morning at Carson-Speaks Chapel in Independence, Mo.
According to the team website, Eskridge was one of coach Tom Landry's first hires in 1959, the year before the Cowboys' debut season. It was he who designed the white-bordered ...

Last night we began our class by looking at student comments on the Google docs we created on Class Norms and on Permission questions. Students also took a few minutes to comment and reflect upon the readings from last week. This was helpful because it allowed Professor Hatch to address student questions and concerns about both the readings and our new and evolving class structure.
In group work, the students created three categories – essential, useful, and unnecessary – to organize their ideas about what the ideal really school needs. We wondered – does a school need a building? Does it need teachers? Click here to read about a new school in Paris, which has no teachers.
Next, Professor Hatch told us about his recent trip to Turkey, where he attended the European Association for International Education Conference. Below you will find a short video from class, which focuses in on the following question: How can we embrace change if we can't control it? Please watch the excerpt and leave your own comment either on the Vialogues site (which is part of EdLab here at TC), or in the comment section below.

20 healthy zero-calories choices
These foods can help speed up weight loss and boost immunity
|Cucumbers pack vitamins K and C, potassium and a compound called silica, which helps to build and maintain connective tissue, like muscle, tendons, ligaments and bone. (Bill Hogan/Chicago Tribune/MCT)
So-called "zero-calorie" foods, like celery and cucumbers, contain fewer calories than the body uses to break them down. And although nutritionists account for the energy it takes to chew and digest them when they calculate how many calories we need, these eats deserve prime spots on our plates.
You can eat them in large quantities without busting your gut, and low-calorie doesn't mean low nutrients. "And, obviously, if eating very low calorie foods keeps you from eating higher calorie foods, that's a win," says Monica Reinagel, licensed nutritionist and creator of the Nutrition Diva podcast. So fill up your fridge with the following 20 foods that are loaded with vitamins and minerals — not calories.
If you're tired of fending off hunger by guzzling glass after glass of H2O, snack on cucumber slices instead. "Eating foods that are high in water can help you feel full at least temporarily by taking up a lot of space in your stomach," notes Reinagel. Cucumbers also pack vitamins K and C, potassium, and a compound called silica, which helps to build and maintain connective tissue, like muscle, tendons, ligaments and bone.
Citrus fruit
Don't wait until cold season to fill up on oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit — they may help whittle your middle. People with higher vitamin C levels have lower waist-to-hip ratios than those whose bodies contain less of the antioxidant, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. What's more, University of Arizona researchers found that those with higher levels of vitamin C oxidized 25 percent more fat during treadmill sessions than those with lower levels of the vitamin.
Celery delivers serious crunch for next to no calories — each medium stalk has about 6 — but it's not shy on nutrients. One cup has a third of your recommended daily intake of vitamin K, along with vitamin A, fiber, folate, and potassium.
An apple a day keeps your weight at bay! Just make sure to eat the skin. The peel contains most of the fruit's metabolism-boosting fiber, as well as ursolic acid, a compound that may prevent the pounds from piling on, according to a new study from University of Iowa.
Don't be squeamish about eating your sea vegetables. Kelp is loaded with vitamin K, which helps keep bones strong, along with a natural fiber called alginate, which may help block fat absorption, according to research from Newcastle University in the U.K.
A half-cup of cooked asparagus will set you back only 20 calories. Plus, you'll get hefty doses of vitamins K and A, and B vitamins such as folic acid. Since B vitamins play a role in breaking down sugars and starches, eating asparagus may help regulate blood sugar and fend off type 2 diabetes.
Brimming with beta-carotene, apricots can help fight cancer and heart disease as well as protect your eyesight. Eating three or more daily servings of fruit rich in vitamins A, C and E and carotenoids like beta-carotene may lower your risk of macular degeneration, the dominant cause of age-related vision loss.
This summertime fruit is loaded with arginine, an amino acid that may aid weight loss. Researchers found that obese mice that were fed arginine supplements burned more fat and gained more lean muscle than those that did not receive them, according to a Journal of Nutrition study.
The lycopene in tomatoes can protect against prostate cancer and help keep skin looking young by eliminating free radicals that build up when you're exposed to ultraviolet rays.
Broccoli may be the nation's most hated upon veggie, but it doesn't deserve that reputation. One cup raw contains as much fiber and vitamin C as an orange.
Counting your carbs? Try boiling, mashing, and seasoning cauliflower to get a mashed potato substitute that tastes almost like the real thing.
One cup of the summertime staple packs more than 100 percent of our daily recommended intake of vitamin C. Strawberries are also one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits you can eat. Compounds called polyphenols may protect your body from the type of cell and tissue damage that's linked to heart disease and certain cancers.
Leafy greens
Whatever variety you pick, you can't go wrong with piling a plate with salad greens. At 4 calories per cup, watercress is loaded with vitamins A, C and K, and a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating 3 ounces of the peppery green daily increases levels of the cancer-fighting antioxidants lutein and beta-carotene.
Red chili peppers
Add a little spice to your cooking and slim down while you're at it. Capsaicin, the compound that gives red chili peppers its kick, has been shown to help your body burn more calories. Plus, research shows that we tend to eat smaller portions of spicy foods because of the heat.
Whether you sauté them or eat them raw, mushrooms are an often-overlooked superfood. Dutch researchers found that when you digest mushrooms, your body produces cancer-fighting, immunity-boosting metabolites.
Red bell pepper
Any way you slice it, red bell peppers are a great source of nutrients. A medium sized one delivers 250 percent of your daily recommended intake of vitamin C, 75 percent of your daily vitamin A needs, and 10 percent of your fiber goals. Chop them up and pair with hummus for a healthy snack.
Summer squash
Whether you love zucchini, butternut or acorn, all squashes are chockfull of vitamins and belly-filling fiber. But summer squash has one advantage: you can eat more of it without gaining weight.
The turnip sometimes takes a backseat to more popular root vegetables, like carrots and potatoes, but its nutritional benefits shouldn't be overlooked. The root contains cancer-fighting glucosinolates and is a good source of fiber, calcium, and potassium.
Green tea
Whether you prefer it hot or iced, unsweetened green tea is calorie-free and high in an antioxidant called ECGC, which may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers while revving up your metabolism.
The importance of water can't be overstated. Staying hydrated keeps your metabolism humming, and can keep you alert and energized throughout the day.

Old Habits -Ib+Oneshot-Garry flicked his smoked cigarette to the ground, stomping it out with his heel as he faintly heard the final school bell ring. He waited patiently as the students began flooding out the entrance gates, talking of how they were going to just waste their days away, as opposed to studying for tests or working on school projects. He exhaled the plume of smoke he had been holding back, and settled his hands into his pockets. It was just like every other day.More Like This
Ever since their reunion after the art gallery, Garry made it a point to see Ib everyday. After school he would walk her home or to his house to help her study. If it were a weekend, the two of them would go to the cafe and have some macaroons and some drinks—juice for her, coffee for him. Then after that, they'd stop at Garry's apartment just to hang out and talk about random things. There was quite an age gap between the two, but Ib was Garry's best friend.
