Topic Contents
Is this topic for you?
Anal cancer is not the same as cancer of the colon or rectum. To learn about these cancers, see the topic Colorectal Cancer.
What is anal cancer?
Anal cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in the anus, which is the opening at the end of the rectum. Anal cancer is not common and is often curable.
Like other cancers, anal cancer can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. To find out how severe your cancer is, your doctor will classify it by stage and grade.
What causes anal cancer?
Some problems, such as infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and anal warts, can lead to anal cancer. Other things that can increase the risk for anal cancer include having many sex partners, receptive anal intercourse (anal sex), infection with HIV, and smoking cigarettes.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of anal cancer include:
- Bleeding from the anus.
- Redness, swelling, or pain in the area of the anus.
- Itching or discharge from the anus.
- A lump near the anus.
How is anal cancer diagnosed?
The doctor will examine the anus and rectum. A digital rectal exam is often done. If anal cancer is suspected, your doctor will want to do a biopsy.
To see if the cancer has spread, the doctor may do a:
- CT scan .
- Chest X ray.
- PET scan .
- Transrectal ultrasound .
How is it treated?
Treatment for anal cancer often includes radiation and chemotherapy (chemoradiation). Sometimes surgery is needed. Your treatment and how well it works depends on the stage of the cancer and your general health.
Side effects
Radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery can have serious side effects. But your medical team will help you manage the side effects of your treatment. If you have chemotherapy or radiation, you may need medicines to control nausea and vomiting. If you have surgery, you may need medicines for pain.
Fatigue is common with cancer treatment. But staying active and eating well before, during, and after your treatment may help you have more energy.
- Get some physical activity every day. Ask a friend to take a walk with you.
- Eat healthy foods. Foods with protein and extra calories can help you stay strong and prevent weight loss. Try liquid meal replacements.
- Eat smaller meals more often, or eat your main meal early.
- Drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated.
Talk with your doctor and medical team about any side effects.
Clinical trials
You may be interested in taking part in research studies called clinical trials. Clinical trials are based on the most up-to-date information. They carefully study the use of new treatments and new combinations of current treatments.

Most of the players this weekend were local, but several did travel a distance to take part at personal cost of $150 to $200.
A few of them could be added to the Mad Ants training camp early next month,

Tamerlan Tsarnaev's name was entered into the Treasury Enforcement Communications System, or TECS, as a routine procedure when the FBI looked into whether Tsarnaev was involved in terrorist activity, the law enforcement officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. TECS is the system used by U.S. officials at the nation's borders to help screen people arriving in the U.S.
Tsarnaev died in a police shootout Friday. His brother, Dzhokhar, was charged in his hospital room Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, and he could get the death penalty. The brothers are accused of setting off two explosives that killed three people and wounded more than 200 others at the marathon.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Monday that Tsarnaev's name was misspelled and Tsarnaev's correct name never went into the system.
According to one of the officials, an airline misspelled Tsarnaev's name when it submitted the list of passengers on Tsarnaev's flight to Russia in January 2012. Airlines are required to provide the U.S. government with a list of passengers on international flights so the U.S. can check their names through government databases, including the terrorist watch list.
But because Tsarnaev's name was misspelled, it was not matched with the 2011 entry in the TECS system, the official told the AP. However, the official said, even if his name had been spelled correctly and U.S. officials recognized that Tsarnaev, the subject of a 2011 FBI inquiry, was on the flight, he would have faced no additional scrutiny because the FBI had by that time found no information connecting Tsarnaev to terrorism.
In 2011, Russia asked the FBI to look into Tsarnaev. The FBI was told Tsarnaev had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the U.S. to join unspecified underground groups. The FBI interviewed Tsarnaev and his relatives and didn't find any terrorism activity. FBI agents conducted an "assessment," an inquiry with a relatively low level of intrusiveness. Agents carrying out assessments obtain publicly available information, check government records, peruse the Internet and request information from the public. Checking investigative leads through assessments can avoid the need to proceed to more formal levels of investigative activity.
In 2011, the FBI said, it checked U.S. government databases and other information to look for derogatory phone conversations, possible use of online sites associating with promoting radical activity and associations with other persons of interest, Tsarnaev's travel history, plans and education.
The FBI did not find any derogatory information on Tsarnaev and a criminal case was not opened. The FBI shared its results with Russia in the summer of 2011. The FBI asked Russia for more information on Tsarnaev but never received any.
Russia did not volunteer any information to the U.S. about Tsarnaev's 6-month visit in Russia in 2012, the FBI said.
The law enforcement official said Tsarnaev did not use an alias when he traveled to Russia from the U.S.

Another very nice map Xorne, Thanks!
Another very nice map Xorne, Thanks!
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
Nice tavern map
This looks very good. All that's missing is someone passed out under a tree.
I especially like the looks of the walls. I may have to try and recreate that look in my future maps.
Only thing I would say is dont make your paths so conformed and straight. People don't walk between buildings in perfectly straight lines, so you should see wear and tear on the corner where people would cut across the greass, etc. and areas outside of doors (particularly the tavern and stables where there would be A LOT of foot/hoof traffic) should be more worn out as well
Other than that a really nice little map. Good job

Yeah I really like this map too, Xorne. The colours are great and everything is very clear and uncluttered.

Good Morning Dailies!
It's 4 a.m. here. Waiting for my running buddy to pull in the driveway for our 9 or 10 miles this morning. So glad to have a friend who is crazy dedicated enough to run so early with me in the dark and cold. Here's hoping for not slippery streets and for the cofffee to be brewed when I get home!
JenRosie, You were up early this morning! Yeah, that's a nice good running buddy. Hope y'all had a good running.
I'm sipping coffee and Nuun getting ready for my medium run. I was thinking of sleeping in and running in to work but I'm not 100% sure I have a winter coat at work for the commute home later.
"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it's the fight in the dog. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
10 miles done, showered, and sipping coffee- all before 7 a.m. Going to be a productive day. Have the new furnace estimator coming today (bye bye tax return!), am switching out 6 light fixtures in our house, going to the dentist, etc. See, no time for core workout once again.
Julia hope the medium run was a good one. From yesterday- yes this is my first Boston. Logistics taken care of- there are 6 of us who are going together and we rented a house which I think is going to be a great way to go. Booked airline tickets yesterday, getting in Friday and staying through Wednesday. Now, I just need to get my head in the right frame of mind so that I'm not nervous excited for the actual racing!
Uh oh, kids are awake. Peaceful time of day is over! Until their bedtime tonight, which my husband and I refer to as "happy hour."
Cleared to run again. (Happy Dance! ) Will start off with a slow 6 on the treadmill tomorrow, 10 on the greenway on Saturday, and then try for my 3wu+10@MP+3cd on Sunday assuming the preceding stuff has gone ok. You guys have probably shoved my year-to-date mileage off the first screen by now.
Morning!! Swimming clinic tonight from 6-7:15. No running today and I'm glad of it. For two reasons, I am tired
and the feels like temp is -22F. If I was to run if would have to be on the treadmill and that is my least favorite
thing to do.
The coach works us pretty hard at clinic and my day yesterday was exhausting. Since this is now day 34 without a
day off and I have to run tomorrow I am almost glad that we may be getting a huge snowstorm on Saturday. If the
aquatic center is open we will be there at 7:15 am Sat but if the storm causes it to be closed I won't be upset.
This was my day yesterday and by 10pm I was completely exhausted. Maybe I am getting old??
Up at 6am for 1000 yards in the pool. Drove into town with hubby and took the bus home, walked 1.5 miles
up my mountain from the bus stop with my heavy swimming bag. That entire trip from leaving the house to
arriving back home is 3 hours, arrived home @ 10:00.
Then housework/cooked dinner and had an appointment.
Then 6 miles of hills @ 4pm in 1:03. Slow but not as slow as I thought given that I had already swam in the morning.
Then shower/dinner and walk the dog 2 miles. Then against my better judgement wasted 2 hours watching A.I.
JenRosie, nice to see you back posting regularly and all sunny and chipper!! I'm so excited for you going to your
first Boston!! I will never BQ (of that I'm sure!LOL probably because I don't really try that hard to get there) but I
went in 2010 when hubby ran and it was an amazing experience. It was what prompted me after 12 years of
running and 16 half marathons (at that time) to run my first full at age 48. I had been at the start and finish line of
many many marathons doing my halfs and watching hubby's fulls but Boston was such a special experience that
it made me want to do just one full to know that I could (doing #6 in May so I guess I like them).
One tip for you in case you don't already know........there are meeting areas for family/friends but there were so
chaotic that it is still difficult to find people.......I missed hubby there but we had a back up plan of a certain city street
corner and I found him there instead.
As we walked back to our team bus people on the street saw hubby with his mylar blanket and medal were
congratulating him and patting him on the back with real enthusiasm. It made me tear up. The people of
Boston really love their marathon and it shows.
P.S. I remember happy hour very well! LOL Now my happy time is when my boys come home for a visit.
Julia, hope you had a good run! What an awesome pic you posted yesterday! and i didn't see any snow, lucky you!
RVDowning, great news!!
SIAR, you want to go swimming you know you do!LOL You don't want me doing a tri this summer before you!!!
Scott, the wind combined with the cold is the worst!!!
NTS, sounds like you had a great running day yesterday! Especially with the beer and pizza afterward. I don't drink
beer but it still sounds fun!LOL
Hello to all that follow! HAve a great day!
maybe this evening I'll have time to catch up on today's and yesterday's posts.
10 for the second day in a row on the TM. Yesterday was MP and today was LR pace
mostly harmless
Woo-hoo! Congrats and I hope everything goes smoothly!
Hi all! Last lr of taper. I have 8 miles on the plan. I'm kind of looking forward to having most of my Thursday free for other things rather than spending a huge chunk of it on the roads. Playdate went well yesterday. The boys had a great time and spent most of the time in ds's room laughing. Loved the sounds of laughter echoing through the house. Ds has had a hard time making friends. Seems every time he makes a good friend that friend moves away. And then we moved. It's been rough on him so this was good.
Mix of yesterday and today on my personal's.
Julia - Nice photo of a non-race start. I took my ipod with me for my last marathon and never touched it. I always get wrapped up in the race vibe. This next race may be lonelier though so we'll see. My dh bought me a wrist watch band for my ipod nano which makes it super simple to take with me and not think about.
JenRosie - 4:00 a.m. is early! Great job on getting those 10 miles in before normal folks (like me) wake up. Guess that is one reason you are going to Boston and I am not. Ha! Ugh! Cannot fathom trying to sell a house with kids in it. We bought a new house last year but rented out our old one instead of selling. Every time we looked at a new house I was so grateful I wasn't trying to sell. Once, when we looked at the house we ended up buying, she had dirty dishes in the sink and some laundry in the mud room. This was a 2nd look for us so I guess she figured one time spotless was enough. Lol. Didn't phase me. We bought anyway.
RVD - Great news about being cleared to run! Phew, huh?
Beth - You know, skipping a clinic here and there probably wouldn't be the end of the world. Or you could skip your personal swim one day and just do clinic. No one would judge you here. Well, not out loud anyway. LOL! Your dedication is admirable but don't wear yourself out too much. I'm amazed sometimes how tired I can be later in the day after a swim because I don't feel all that tired while swimming. It gives a false feeling of relaxation.
Marco - Good luck catching up on posts. It's been chatty here lately. In other words, no pressure. Hope you can make it off the tm one of these days.
Hi to all that follow. I'm sure I'll check back in later. Gotta make ds bfst real quick before school. Dd left for school an hour ago. They start at 7:30 and her bus comes at 6:30. Poor kid.
Scott - I missed you somehow. Have you done your time trial yet?
Thanks PE! LOL I know all of that in my head and strangely enough I have no problem skipping run days when I
need to!LOLHowever when I get it in my head to do something new it's usually at 110% and the swimming seems to be no
different. I might skip a personal swim but not clinic because I feel like I get so much out of them and I love being
there with our friends.
I too find it strange how after the swim I feel great and so relaxed but it's about 6-8 hours later this incredible
fatigue just hits me and I find myself look for the closest place to lie down!! That doesn't happen with running!
Beth - You know, skipping a clinic here and there probably wouldn't be the end of the world. Or you could skip your personal swim one day and just do clinic. No one would judge you here. Well, not out loud anyway. LOL! Your dedication is admirable but don't wear yourself out too much. I'm amazed sometimes how tired I can be later in the day after a swim because I don't feel all that tired while swimming. It gives a false feeling of relaxation.
Not yet. I'm doing a very slow 5 today, resting tomorrow and then running on Saturday.
I feel for your son. I moved a lot as a kid and I remember a lot of lonely times, particularly when we moved over the summer when school was out. It was always so much harder to find kids that you shared interests with outside of school. I'm glad that he had a good time with his new bud yesterday.
Off to a meeting. I'll try to check in with everyone else later.
Bad Ass
Morning! My run last night had asthma issues but I hope today's will be better. 10-12 miles tonight. Not sure how many I"ll be able to do due to time and breathing.
Just got back from court. Hope everybody has a great day!
PS, I need a vacation.

Hi everyone!
Julia: Hope the medium run was good!
JenRosie: Nice 10!
RVD: Great news! Hope the return to running goes smoothly.
B.S: Have fun at swimming clinic. Hope you're able to get some rest soon.
marco: Nice 10 on the TM.
Pressing: Hope you have a nice 8.
Scott: Hope you enjoy the slow 5.
Docket: Hope your run today goes better than yesterday's.
SIAR (from yesterday): I have food and/or beer after many of my group runs. Have another short group run for tonight which will have beer and probably food (not sure what kind) after.
So I'd thought about another double, but did not see the point of doing 2 separate runs in rain today. I'll do a warmup run, then a brief interval session almost right before this evening's short group run (will take the group run very easy). Should hopefully get around 10 for the day. Rain is supposed to be tapering off later, so I may not get rained on that much.

Kit Harington (born 26 December 1986) is a British film, television and stage actor. He was born Christopher Catesby Harington. Ironically for playing a bastard, Harington's ancestors include an Earl, a Viscount, and two Baronets, through which he can even trace descent from King William I of England, Hugh Capet, King of the Franks, and Charlemagne, Holy Roman Emperor.
Game of Thrones is Harington's first major television role, having previously appeared on stage in the play War Horse and Posh.
He stars in HBO's Game of Thrones as Jon Snow. He was announced in the role on 19 July 2009. He was part of the initial starring cast and remains a member of the starring cast for the second season.
Harington's third audition scene was actually a scene between Jon and Ygritte from Season 3, even though at the time they weren't certain there would even be a third season. After being cast, Harington quickly read through the first four novels.[1]
Harington broke his ankle in July 2012, in the gap between filming for Season 2 and Season 3. After a night of partying he realized he lost the keys to his flat, so he tried to climb into his first-floor window, then fell. As Harington explained: "Everyone always says you must have done it on set horse riding or running across glaciers or something cool...I was an idiot. The 'invincibility of youth' and all that. I couldn't even blame it on a film set. And I had avoided skiing for ages because I thought I'd break my ankle!" Actors' schedules were rearranged to give Harington maximum time to recover, and the Iceland shoot was pushed back a couple of weeks. The production also occasionally used a double for a few scenes, such as showing Snow walking in the distance (the actor having "such distinctive hair" helped with the illusion, the producers semi-joked). Producer David Benioff said that "By time we got to Iceland he was moving well enough so you couldn't really tell."[2]
Costume designer Michele Clapton explained how the production team tried to accommodate Harington's injury: "Kit Harington was in a cast for a lot of the time. They asked me to create a boot to cover it, but it was impossible because it was a great big, white foot! We couldn't shoot it at first because there was no way we could cover [his cast]. Later on he had a medical boot that he could take off, but he still couldn't walk. We cut the back out of his [costume] boot so that he could put it on without having to actually step into it and just bound it to his leg. He managed really well, considering the amount of pain he was in. Thankfully he's much better now, but that was a tricky one.[3]

Gracious, what lovely fabrics and designs! That postage stamp quilt is beautiful - I think partly because is design is so simple it lets you see the fabrics.
I've just started a jellyroll quilt myself based on the tutorial here: www.cluckclucksew.com/2009/09/tutorial-doublehourglass-blocks-easy.html. I'm finding it comes together really quickly because of all the time saved in cutting.You can also see this design at http://comfortstitching.typepad.co.uk/comfortstitching/2010/06/urban-daydreams-quilt.html.
There are so many lovely quilts and quilting blogs out there, that they can be a real thief of time if I'm not careful. Thanks for the reminder of the importance of being good stewards of our time in this area. Happy quilting!

Tell Republicans: Please give a damn about people, not White House tours
The sequester has gone into effect. This has caused hundreds of thousands of people to be furloughed, an end to tuition assistance for soldiers in the Army, reductions in vaccinations, border patrols, meat processing inspections, aid for low-income housing, Head Start programs for children and much, much more..
So what part of the sequester is the Republican National Committee most upset about, to the point where they are running a petition about it? The cancellation of White House tours.
Sign the petition telling the Republican National Committee to stop whining about tours and start giving a damn about the millions of people who have been seriously impacted by the sequester. We need to publicly embarrass them for their pettiness:
Please start giving a damn about the millions of people who are losing pay, tuition assistance, health care, and housing assistance as a result of the sequester, and stop whining about White House tours.

New Betta Momma with sick fishy
I've had all kinds of pets in my life, dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. but I never figured myself for a fish person. I mean...you can't even pet them! That was before a few of my co-workers began keeping betta fish at their desks.
I found myself constantly going over to their desks and talking to the fish. I mean the kind of baby-talk you give to a cherished pet or a cute toddler.
After visiting 7 different pet stores I finally found the ONE fish that seemed to 'speak' to me. His body is a dark blue and his fins are a lighter blue with red running through them. My husband called him Burple. I told him that was the dumbest name for a fish I'd ever heard, but the name stuck.
Right now, I have him in a 1 gallon tank with large tiger-eye like rocks and an ivy.
Things have not been easy for me...so much drama for such a little fish.
I bought him on Saturday, March 20th and put him in his new 1 gallon bowl, with conditioned water on Monday, March 22nd.
On Tuesday, March 23rd he was happy and flitting around and had blown a lot of little bubbles and pushed them into a pile. That was cute.
When I got him I noticed that the very edge of his anal and caudal fins were slightly darker, I thought it was natural coloring at first. But on Wednesday, it looked like the area had expanded a little.
I thought he'd squeezed it under a rock. I have smooth rocks in the tank rather than gravel [he seems to like rooting and hiding among them]and I had heard a clink as he actually managed to move on of them. That seemed to startle him and he flitted away quickly.
I gave him a 50% water change that night and again on Friday night before I left for the weekend. The black area looked a little larger and Burple seemed a little...sad? mopey? sick?
I went to Petco and talked to a worker there who said it might be fin rot she suggested a medicine and my getting a heater for the water. She recommended one with a temperature preset so it would shut off when it hit the right temp.
Monday, March 29th I came to work to find a much happier Burple. He'd even been blowing more bubbles *^_^*
Before I left for the day, I gave him a 100% water change, installed the heater and dosed the water following the instructions on back.
The instructions said to put in 1 drop per 16 fl. oz. There are 8 oz. in a cup, 4 cups in a quart and 4 quarts in a gallon...so that would meant 8 drops. I transferred Burple over and left for the night. The instructions said to continue this treatment for 3 days.
The water temp was a nice 76 degrees, my baby was warm and soon would be on his way back to health.
On Tuesday, March 30th I came to work to a nearly dead fish!! I almost burst into tears.
I couldn't believe my eyes, he just hung there in the water at a nearly 45 degree angle he wasn't moving or anything. I desperately tapped the side of the bowl 4 times. On the 4th tap he stirred a tiny bit, but not very much.
I did an immediate 50% water change and reread the instructions for the medicine...had I overdosed him? but they still said the same thing.
By the end of the day I changed out his water 100% and I removed the heater [I didn't know whether it had been that or the blue tinting that had been the culprit...maybe I'd fried him??] Once the water was clear, the true damage became apparent.
The blue water combined with his blue coloring had made it hard to see him properly. Burple was now a mottled bluish gray. I've seen such dull coloring and listless expressions on some of the betta at one of the Walmarts I'd gone to while looking for a pet.
On top of that his fins looked like they had been partially dissolved!! It was touch and go there for the rest of the week but we made it with many 50% water changes.
By Friday, April 2nd he looked a lot better and had begun eating again with a voracious appetite. He hadn't eaten anything Tuesday or Wednesday and only gave his flakes a quick suck and spit on Thursday. I gave him a 100% water change before I left for the weekend. I left wondering if he'd survive the weekend.
Yesterday, he seemed right as rain. He'd blown a few bubble and was flitting around his tank almost like normal. For a while he could only flit around for a few moments before sinking down to the bottom to rest.
In future I'm planning on giving him 100% water changes on Monday's and Friday's and then 50% during the rest of the week.
One of my co-workers said that my frequent water changes probably contributed to his illness, but then again she only changes her fishes water bowl every 2 weeks. I still believe I did something wrong with the medicine or the heater.
I'd like to set up the heater again but am worried that I'll do Burple further harm. I have a thermometer on the outside of his bowl I'm just afraid to leave him over the weekend without supervision.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I want him to healthy and happy for a long, long time.

I have a 2.5 gallon and have to do water chAnges twice a week. I don't know about the medicine. Do you know what it's called? How much were u feeding him when he was eating normal? What were u feeding him also? When u say blue water do u mean the kind u buy in the bottle at the pe store? Ive Never read what kind of water that is but Most of us recommend tap over bottled water because ofthe nutrients the bottled water lacks. There are lots of different opinions on treatments for an illness. I personally do the salt baths and add salt to his tank alog with water changes. Iwouldnt leave a sick fish at work. I would be tooafraid I couldn't keep a good eye on him. My bettas are 24/7 fish and they know it n

I used
and it turned the water blue.
I use regular tap water when I fill the bowl, treated to remove chlorine and heavy metals. I generally leave it out overnight so it gets to the same temp as the water already in the bowl.
I feed him a tiny pinch of betta flakes in the morning and 1-3 betta pellets that are supposed to enhance color before I leave 9-10 hours later.

I don't see how a heater could cause anything like that - usually when the edges of a betta's fins are unusually darker it means a form a fin rot. I can't remember if it's bacterial or fungal, but you could treat either with aquarium salt or some medication like Maracyn. Unless it's not getting worse, in which case you shouldn't have to do anything. Adding a little salt to the water, though, would promote fin regrowth if they're still a little tattered. Just dissolve it into the water you're adding to his tank during a water change to avoid any direct contact with the granules as it may burn your fish.
I would place the heater back into his tank just to make sure the temperature remains constant. I can't see the heater being the culprit, but once back in the tank just be sure to monitor the conditions. In the meantime, I'd just keep the tank warm and dark to let your fish recover, and in due time he should be back to normal - if he's not already, that is.
Keep us posted and feel free to post pictures.

I gave Burple a 50% water change today and yesterday and I noticed more uneaten food debris, so I'm going to cut back his feedings to every other day. I have also reistalled the heater. Right now the temp is 78 degrees. Thankfully I'm at work all day so I can check the thermometer every hour or so.
His fins are ragged and I still see a little black, probably because I didn't use the medication I bought for the full three days. However, I'm not going to use the blue medicine again, his reaction to that was scary. Aquarium salt?? Okay, I'll give that a try...I should probably test the water too. Any recommendations?
I need to transfer my pics off of my camera and as soon as I do I'd be happy to post pics. I even managed to get a little video clip!

For testing your water parameters there are a number of methods you could exercise including: test strips, liquid test kit, or your local pet store. Test strips aren't usually advised because they tend to be far more unreliable than the liquid test kit. Though the liquid test kit does cost more, it allows you to test every parameter necessary, and last an incredibly long time. The API freshwater master test kit I have now advertises over 800 tests. If you're on a budget, however, your local pet store will usually test for free (or for a small charge).
Otherwise, 78ºF is a good temperature and I'm glad to know your betta is doing better. I look forward to your pictures and / or video.

When I went to change his water today Burple was dead.
I feel terrible.
My poor little betta, who knew I'd grow so attached to him in such a small period of time.
I had him for almost 3 weeks and I somehow managed to kill him...

Wow, that's really too bad. I thought he'd be able to recover from whatever was afflicting him.
You tried, though, and some things you're just not able to control. Better luck next time, right?

I'm so sorry about Burple. It probably wasn't anything you did, it was probably something internal.

This isn't some ingenious idea or anything super fancy to make. It's quick, it's easy, and it's cheap, but it makes a really great baby gift and they are very handy to have around. Especially if you have a very spitty baby like I do. It's Burp Cloths DIY Sewing Tutorial made from Diapers!
It's a burp cloth made simply by sewing fabric onto a cloth diaper. Like I said, very easy to make, but look how cute that looks all packaged up and ready to give as a gift!
Burp Cloths DIY Sewing Tutorial:
Supplies Needed:
- Cloth Diaper (the thick, smaller kind. I think they are called prefolds?) I get mine at Target and they come in a pack of 12 for about $11.
- Fabric to sew onto the diapers
- Embellishments like ric rac or ribbon.
Important: Prewash the diaper first because they will shrink. Then iron them nice and flat again.
I usually leave about 3 or 4 inches of the white diaper showing on either side of the fabric with the fabric centered down the middle of the diaper. Like this:
Now you need a piece of cute fabric to fit the diaper. Make it about an inch longer than the diaper and about an inch wider than you want it to be when you are done. Measurements of your fabric should be about 19″ x 8″ but it varies a little depending on the diapers you buy.
Fold under the top and side edges of your fabric about 1/2 inch and iron them to make a clean edge.
Pin the fabric to the diaper so that it is centered from side to side and matches up with the end of the diaper the long way. Then, start in one corner and sew a basic rectangle all the way around.
You can also add some ribbon or ric-rac embellishment to make it extra fun:
I like to do 2-3 in a matching set. Tie it with a cute ribbon and bam! You have an adorable baby gift.
Or, I am thinking of pairing these with my new Diaper and Wipe Carrier and making it a set. That would be cute wouldn't it?
Each one costs just a little over $1, so a set of 3 will cost less than $5.

(Sports Network) - The Memphis Grizzlies will try to halt a two-game losing
streak on Saturday night when they host the Denver Nuggets at FedExForum.
The Grizzlies lost a home contest to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday
night, 99-89 and one week ago, they fell in Houston to the Rockets, 121-96.
"We just got to sure some things up. There is no need to panic at this time,"
Grizzlies forward Quincy Pondexter said. "I think we'll be just fine later
Against the Sixers, the Memphis frontline was its usual spectacular self. Zach
Randolph led the way with 23 points and nine rebounds, while Marc Gasol
contributed 18 points, eight boards and eight assists. Pondexter chipped in 13
points in the absence of Rudy Gay, who missed the game due to personal
Memphis ranks second in opponents' scoring and sixth in opponents' field-goal
percentage, but struggled against the Sixers, an offensively-challenged squad
that is 25th in points. The Sixers shot 52.1 percent from the field and 56.3
percent from beyond the 3-point line.
The Grizzlies hope those struggles don't continue tonight given how hot the
Nuggets were from long range on Friday.
Denver shot 42.9 percent from 3-point range in a 106-85 victory over the
Dallas Mavericks, with Danilo Gallinari hitting seven of his 11 attempts from
behind the arc on the way to a career-high 39 points.
Gallinari also had eight rebounds, while Andre Iguodala had 20 points with
eight boards as Denver won for the sixth time in eight games.
"I think we did our jobs," said Denver coach George Karl. "We knew they'd
played (Thursday) night, kind of had a tough loss, and we sustained a pretty
intense, aggressive game for most of the night."
Kenneth Faried added 11 points and 19 rebounds in the victory.
Memphis has won 23 of its last 26 overall at home, but the Nuggets are 2-0
this season against the Grizzlies. Prior to those wins, Memphis had won three
in a row against Denver, which plays 15 of its next 18 at home beginning on
Jan. 1.

"(C) how such systems will adjust to changing American population patterns and lifestyles; and
"(D) the role of federally funded research and development in ensuring that appropriate transportation systems are developed and implemented;
"(2) the population of the United States is projected to increase by over 30,000,000 people within the next 20 years, mostly in existing major metropolitan areas, which will result in increased traffic congestion within and between urban areas, more accidents, loss of productive time, and increased cost of transportation unless new technologies are developed to improve public transportation within cities and to move people and goods between cities;
"(3) 18,000,000 crashes, 4,000,000 injuries, and 45,000 fatalities each year on the Nation's highways are intolerable and substantial research is required in order to develop safer technologies in their most useful and economic forms;
"(4) current research and development funding for surface transportation is insufficient to provide the United States with the technologies essential to providing its own advanced transportation systems in the future and, as a result, the United States is becoming increasingly dependent on foreign surface transportation technologies and equipment to meet its expanding surface transportation needs;
"(5) a more active, focused surface transportation research and development program involving cooperation among the Federal Government, United States based industry, and United States universities should be organized on a priority basis;
"(6) intelligent transportation systems represent the best near-term technology for improving surface transportation for public benefit by providing equipment which can improve traffic flow and provide for enhanced safety;
"(7) research and development programs related to surface transportation are fragmented and dispersed throughout government and need to be strengthened and incorporated in an integrated framework within which a consensus on the goals of a national surface transportation research and development program must be developed;
"(8) the inability of government agencies to cooperate effectively, the difficulty of obtaining public support for new systems and rights-of-way, and the high cost of capital financing discourage private firms from investing in the development of new transportation equipment and systems; therefore, the Federal Government should sponsor and coordinate research and development of new technologies to provide safer, more convenient, and affordable transportation systems for use in the future; and
"(9) an effective high technology applied research and development program should be implemented quickly by strengthening the Department of Transportation research and development staff and by contracting with private industry for specific development projects.
"(b) Surface Transportation Research and Development Plan.—
"(1) Development.—The Secretary shall develop an integrated national surface transportation research and development plan (hereinafter in this subsection referred to as the 'plan').
"(2) Focus.—The plan shall focus on surface transportation systems needed for urban, suburban, and rural areas in the next decade.
"(3) Contents.—The plan shall include the following:
"(A) Details of the Department's surface transportation research and development programs, including appropriate funding levels and a schedule with milestones, preliminary cost estimates, appropriate work scopes, personnel requirements, and estimated costs and goals for the next 3 years for each area of research and development.
"(B) A 10-year projection of long-term programs in surface transportation research and development and recommendations for the appropriate source or mechanism for surface transportation research and development funding, taking into account recommendations of the Research and Development Coordinating Council of the Department of Transportation and the plan of the National Council on Surface Transportation Research.
"(C) Recommendations on changes needed to assure that Federal, State, and local contracting procedures encourage the adoption of advanced technologies developed as a consequence of the research programs in this Act [Pub. L. 102–240, see Tables for classification].
"(4) Objectives.—The plan shall provide for the following:
"(A) The development, within the shortest period of time possible, of a range of technologies needed to produce convenient, safe, and affordable modes of surface transportation to be available for public use beginning in the mid-1990's.
"(B) Maintenance of a long-term advanced research and development program to provide for next generation surface transportation systems.
"(5) Cooperation with industry.—A primary component of the plan shall be cooperation with industry in carrying out this part [part A (§§ 6001–6024) of title VI of Pub. L. 102–240, enacting sections 325 and 326 of this title, sections 3711b and 3711c of Title 15, Commerce and Trade, section 111 of Title 49, Transportation, and section 1625 of former Title 49, Transportation, amending sections 204, 307, and 321 of this title, section 5316 of Title 5, Government Organization and Employees, sections 3708 and 3712 to 3715 ofTitle 15, sections 101 and 301 of Title 49, and sections 1607c and 1608 of former Title 49, enacting provisions set out as notes under sections 101, 112, and 307 of this title and sections 111 and 301 of Title 49, and amending provisions set out as notes under section 1608 of former Title 49] and strengthening the manufacturing capabilities of United States firms in order to produce products for surface transportation systems.
"(6) Conformance with plan.—All surface transportation research and development within the Department of Transportation shall be included in the plan and shall be evaluated in accordance with the plan.
"(7) Coordination.—In developing the plan and carrying out this part, the Secretary shall consult with and, where appropriate, use the expertise of other Federal agencies and their laboratories.
"(8) Transmittal.—On or before January 15, 1993, and annually thereafter, the Secretary shall transmit the plan to Congress, together with the Secretary's comments and recommendations. The Secretary shall review and update the plan before each transmittal under this paragraph.
"(9) Recommendations for alternatives.—In the event a different technology or alternative program can be identified that would accomplish the same or better results than those described in this part, the Secretary may make recommendations for an alternative, and shall promptly report such alternative recommendations to Congress."

Editor's note: All summer long, the Southern Foodways Alliance - a member-supported organization of more than 800 chefs, academics, writers and eaters devoted to the documentation, study, and celebration the diverse food cultures of the changing American South - will be delving deep in the history, tradition, heroes and plain old deliciousness of barbecue across the United States. As a loud, proud SFA member, I'm pleased to say that Eatocracy will be partnering with them to share some of their stories. Dig in. - Kat Kinsman, Managing Editor
Today's installment comes courtesy of Adrian Miller, a culinary historian, certified barbecue judge and author of an upcoming book about soul food. Follow him on Twitter at @soulfoodscholar.
The coming and passing of National Barbecue Month (commonly called "May" by others) tends to leave a bad taste in my mouth. It's the month when a lot of media outlets (magazines, newspapers, and television) remind us that barbecue season has officially begun. They mark the occasion by profiling notable pitmasters, sharing recipes and tips, and, as a bonus, providing a roundup of the best barbecue joints in your area or in the entire country.
What's regularly missing in these features are shout-outs to African Americans. Such omissions are troubling given the overwhelming contribution that African Americans have made, and continue to make, to the American barbecue tradition. Like good barbecue, my annoyance over this subject has been burning like a slow fire, and it hit a flashpoint last year.
In contrast to mass media outlets like the Food Network, the SFA's oral history and documentary film initiatives have paid homage to many African-American pitmasters. Check out CUT/CHOP/COOK, a film by Joe York about Rodney Scott of Hemingway, South Carolina. And explore the oral history interviews on the Southern BBQ Trail. Many of them feature African American subjects, from Helen Turner of Tennessee to Gerri and Stephen Grady of North Carolina (and over a dozen more).

Wöhrl takes over SinnLeffers
04 Jan. 2013
Wöhrl takes over SinnLeffersFashion retailer Wöhrl takes over fashion chain SinnLeffers. This was officially announced at a press conference in Hagen, the headquarter of SinnLeffers. Gerhard Wöhrl commented: "SinnLeffers perfectly matches Wöhrl. With our locations, we add each other ideally. On top of that SinnLeffers and Wöhrls' brand portfolios and target audiences are similar."
The purchase price of the deal is unknown. The Federal Cartel Office had yet to approve the transaction. As soon as the acquisition is legally binding Wöhrl will significantly expand its regional reach. The company group will then own on top 60 fashion houses, employ more than 4.000 employees and a turnover of over 600 Mill. Euros. According to Wöhrl all houses will be continued. If the headquarter in Hagen is included in the Wöhrl company group will be soon discussed.
Patrick Feller, chairman of supervisory board SinnLeffers: "We are pleased to find with Gerhard Wöhrl and his family a good home for SinnLeffers."

It's often said that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. This certainly is true when it comes to actions to preserve our environment and fight the negative impacts of climate change. Each of us doing what we can - on our own - will make a difference, but large community actions, organized sustainability efforts, and spreading the words and deeds through social media and our collective networks will bring about the greatest degree of positive environmental change and fastest transition to a cleaner energy future.
To this end, the Carbonfund.org Foundation is proud to announce the re-launch of a new and improved envirosearch.org, a free, Bing-powered search engine that enables anyone to help protect the environment simply through their everyday web searches. Envirosearch.org supports international conservation projects like reforestation efforts and wildlife preservation, and is currently supporting tree-planting programs in Haiti, India and the United States
Watch the video to learn more about envirosearch.org – this is cool!
"Envirosearch.org proves once again that protecting our environment and doing the things we enjoy and need to do can go hand in hand," said Eric Carlson, president of Carbonfund.org. "If there is just one simple thing everyone can do today to help our environment, making the switch to envirosearch.org is it."
Like envirosearch.org and We'll Plant FIVE Trees
It's easy to make the switch – make www.envirosearch.org your new home page, or add envirosearch.org as your preferred search engine, and Like it on Facebook and we will plant five trees, up to 500,000 trees.
Let's go viral: Tell your family and friends about envirosearch.org, post it to your Facebook wall, tweet about it. If you're part of a larger community – at your workplace, in your town, as a member in an environmental organization, through your volunteer work or community service – spread the word there too. Our collective actions will bring about the global environmental improvements critical to reversing the negative effects of climate change and help us move toward a ZeroCarbon™ world.
Deforestation is a critical global issue, accounting for about twenty percent of greenhouse gas emissions globally as well as the destruction of habitats, soil erosion, loss of economic opportunities, and degradation of water quality. Envirosearch.org is one simple, free action anyone can take today to help mitigate the effects of climate change.

This is a jQuery version, WordPress Plugin is available here.
What we see as developers when we open every new site?
Usually we see different blocks with menus, sliders, widgets, main thing – content and of course, icons. Generally most of them are interactive, except content and… icons!
So I thought: 'Maybe we can break this stereotype?' Thus the idea of LivIcons (live Icons) was born. But if I knew that this project would take four months of hard daily work, maybe I would not had started it. However, here you can see the result.
Main features:
- 363 live + 51 static = 414 total (from v1.4) icons in one script.
- New step in interactivity and brand New – such animation methods for interface elements were never created before.
- Animated and can be static of course
- Any color, any size
- Retina perfect
- 16 pixel perfect
- Flexible settings of behavior and appearance
- Bootstrap compatible
- Easy integration – just one string of code for an icon.
- Dynamic add, remove and update with three JavaScript methods (from v1.2)
- Color change for 'active' class (from v1.2)
- IE6+ support
- All browsers (almost )
- Free updates
- Adobe Illustrator files with all picktograms for your design purpose.
- Customizer with simple three steps let you choose what you exactly need.
- jQuery 1.6.3 and up
- A modern fast browser for work with the Customizer
You need to purchase a regular or an extended license of LivIcons for every web project.
ThemeForest Authors:
If you'd like to include my plugin into your HTML themes (templates) you can do that under the following conditions:
- I give a permission to include LivIcons in ThemeForest's items only! Not on any other site(s)
- You need to purchase one (1) extended license for every theme (template)
- You must email me through a contact form (not directly) on my profile page with your theme (template) name where you plan to use LivIcons
- Please credit LivIcons on your item's page
- Good luck with sales!
Important note:
From v1.1 the animation of any 'Brand name' icons, like socials, browsers, JS libs, etc., is removed because it may violate developers' terms of service of their respective copyright owners. So from now these icons are not animated. Thanks for the understanding.
Special Thanks:
- Special thanks to Dmitry Baranovskiy, the author of Raphaël – JavaScript Library.
- Special thanks to jQuery team for outstanding work makes our job easier.
- Special thanks to Douglas Crockford for json2 script, which lets IE6 -IE7 to work with JSON format.

Comments On Sep 27, 2013:Well, I'm really not sure this added any value to my hard starting situation. The dealer added it when they did shimmed the valves. I haven't been able to find documentation on the purpose of the knob near the carburator end. The "start" pull replaced the OEM "hot start" on the WR250F. All in all, it's not clear that this unit made a huge difference on my bike. I think the valve shims did more to fix the hard starting.

Comments On Mar 14, 2013:I installed it according to the directions and brought to my mechanic shop to dial it in due to popping on decceleration and they could not get it to quit, the carb was jetted correctly and in good condition as well as the valves and the bike had no backfiring before, other than the "wide open throttle" type most 450's get when going extremly fast on a beach. My mechanic said he spoke with boyesen reps on the phone who told him to just send it back for the refund and it happens commonly. I was hoping this would help with hot-starting issues and really dissapointed now.

Comments On Feb 17, 2012:Bought this instead of the Quikshot3, for my 05' yfz450 w/ 480cc Athena. Elminated bog and all hot starting issues, and increased throttle response drastically! Really woke up my bike's Bigbore kit. Highly recommended *****

Comments On May 03, 2011:I bought this to help with a starting issue on my CRF250R Honda. The adjustable leak jet feature is really good. The Acc. pump block really did not live up to my expectations and I still had hot starting issues.

Hopkins students feel disrespected by school officials
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
On April 26, Black Hopkins high school students walked out during the school's last hour of the day. They complained of unfair treatment when it comes to disciplinary issues. "We want equality. We are here for an education," says Junior Malika Musa, who co-organized the protest with fellow 11th-grader Maray Singleton. "[School officials] are not really trying to acknowledge that we have these problems and that we need to change," adds Singleton. Continue Reading →

The Breathometer makes for a fun party game and a potential way to meet people in bars, but its testing results should not be taken as proof of driver safety.
If you aren't turned off by its questionable social-sharing features, the advanced BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer is a compelling tool that can help minimize overindulging.
The iDrink concept puts a new spin on the smartphone breathalyzer by including a game that gets more difficult the more you drink.
Normally $49.99, this compact lifesaver pairs with your smartphone to help you determine when you're past the legal limit.
BACtrack Mobile breathalyzer is adding a new feature so you can demand someone conduct a breath test remotely. It can even make sure they don't get someone else to do it.
A smartphone-connected breathalyzer has taken out the top consumer electronics prize at Australia's Good Design Awards, beating a portable cinema camera, a Kickstarter-funded charging cable and the Leap Motion Controller for the top prize.
An accessory for iPhones, the Breathometer is very portable and can be fun to pass around at parties, but its results should not be taken as permission to drive.
It seems that police in Texas sometimes refuse to accept technology's verdict and still arrest those who pass breath and blood tests.
A Utah congressman is proposing that more of the state's bars should have breathalyzer machines, so that people can check whether they're safe to drive home.
The $119 breathalyzer plugs into the audio ports of iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Replacement mouthpieces and power cords are sold separately.

Daniel Tice '09, recipient of the 2008 Mironda K. Heston Scholarship for Public Service, used the funds for a medical volunteer program in Ghana.
"I had the most incredible experience of my life in Ghana," said Tice about his one-month trip. "The culture, the people—both volunteers and Ghanians— the experience in the hospital, my host family, and even the food were all amazing. It's one of those experiences that would be impossible to come out of unchanged."

Forensic evidence collected more than five years ago has led police to a man who they say is guilty of rape.
In January of 2007, the victim told police she'd been raped by a man with whom she'd once been on a date. The woman said her boyfriend was deployed to Iraq, and she'd met up again with the other man to play pool.
She reportedly invited him back to her home to see a care package she'd made for her boyfriend. According to police, the woman said she had a few drinks, but she didn't remember anything until she woke up the next morning and realized she'd been sexually assaulted.
In March of 2010, a cold case investigator looked over the case and started working on new leads. Somehow that investigator was able to make a DNA match with the suspect, 35-year-old Daniel Gostnell.
KKTV 11 News is working to find out more about how police were able to make that match.

text: Shotguns do not usually have rear sights. Most have a bead at the muzzle end, and a ventilated rib on top of the barrel leading up to the bead. When pointing a shotgun at a target, the rib and front bead should be aligned so that you are looking straight down the barrel, to properly hit the target. If the bead appears to be higher or lower than the rib, then you are not looking straight down the barrel, and the shot will not hit the intended target.

February 26th, 2013
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Get crackin'! February 26 is National Pistachio Day.
It's not every day that a simple nut has its own dedicated advertising campaign, and a cheeky one at that, but the humble pistachio is more than deserving.
Pistachios require a little elbow grease to eat because the greenish edible seed is encased in a harder outer shell that you have to crack open. There are many tips on how to do this, some more practical than others. The least labor intensive way is to simply wait. Pistachio shells will open easily if they're fully ripe. The same effect is achieved by roasting.
Because pistachios have been around since as early as 7,000 B.C., they have a lot of historical significance and symbolism. In Iran, they're known as the "smiling nut." In China, they're called the "happy nut."
One of the earliest desserts made with pistachios was baklava. This Middle Eastern pastry often features a nutty component, such as roasted pistachios. Making baklava at home can be time-consuming and sticky (so props to you if you give it a go!). Here's a quick cheat version:
Mix chopped, roasted pistachios with some honey and cinnamon. You want the mixture to be thick, not runny. (Orange blossom honey works great here.) Then, lay one sheet of store-bought phyllo dough on a flat work surface and brush it with melted butter. Add a second layer of dough, and cut it into 3-inch squares. Lightly brush a large muffin tin with melted butter and lay a square into each opening. Spoon in the pistachio syrup and bring the sides of the dough up around it. Pinch the edges closed so you've got a little parcel. Brush the tops of the parcels with more melted butter and bake in a preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven until the phyllo dough browns. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
