If you have read some of the articles here at Scarleteen or looked through the boards, you know that getting yourself screened for Sexually Transmitted Diseases or Infections (STIs) is essential.
Whether you are with a new partner, or are already in a sexual relationship, getting a full STI -- sexually transmitted infection, sometimes also called STDs -- screening can give you peace of mind and ensure your physical well-being as well as your partners.
Often people ask us if they need to be worried about STIs or STI testing if they haven't ever had sexual contact with another person. The answer is yes, yes, and yes. Sexually Transmitted Disease means that the disease CAN be transmitted sexually not that it can ONLY be transmitted sexually, and when it comes to STIs, both partners' histories are an issue, not just that of one.
Plus, there are some STIs that are often transmitted through non-sexual contact. Oral herpes, otherwise known as cold sores, is one that often runs in families because it is so easy to catch that when one family member gets it, it's very common for other members of the family to catch it from them in completely nonsexual ways. In fact, the majority of people with oral herpes, which can also be passed on genitally, got it as children in a totally nonsexual way.
STIs can affect you for the rest of your life. They can affect your future fertility and your very existence: a couple can be fatal. Several of them cannot be cured. But many of them ARE easily treated, and when treated early, can leave you with no long-term health problems. Using latex (or non-latex alternative) barriers -- condoms, dental dams and/or gloves -- can vastly reduce your risks of most STIs, but that's only one part of safer sex practice: testing is another and is just as important. So, for many reasons, getting tested is important. Have I made my point? OK, read on to learn more.
What exactly does STD/STI testing entail? STI testing includes a few simple tests that can be done in your doctor's office or at a clinic. They may be slightly uncomfortable, but they are not more than that. It's really pretty minor.
The first part is an interview. The clinician or doctor will ask you some questions regarding your exposure to STIs and about your sexual activities and sexual history. This may make you feel uncomfortable. Do not be embarrassed or ashamed believe me, doctors, nurses, and clinicians have heard and seen it all. It is very important that you be honest with your doctor, so they can do their job to get you the care you need. If you have had unsafe sex, accept it and take responsibility for it when you talk to your doctor.
If you are experiencing any health problems or symptoms of any STIs, tell your doctor about them in detail: how long have you been having the problem? How frequently? Has it gotten worse or better since it started? All this information can help them give you a proper diagnosis.
You may not be having any health problems or symptoms of any diseases when you go in for your test. That may mean that you simply don't have any infections or diseases. It can also mean that you simply don't have symptoms that are noticeable. Many STIs have no symptoms, particularly in their early stages. One of the ones that is easiest to miss -- and one of the most common infections -- is Chlamydia, which is called "the silent STI" because many people who have it never know until it's too late, and they have already begun to have serious complications due to inflammation and scarring. That's why it's important to get a full STI screening anyway, even if you don't have any symptoms.
Next, the clinician will do a visual examination of your genitals. They will be looking for evidence of sores or lesions. If you have a vulva you will go through the same procedure as you would for a pelvic exam (you might want to read up on that in the Your First Gynecologist Visit article for more details). During the pelvic exam the doctor will take a small sample of cells and fluids called a smear or swab test. It is similar to a PAP smear test, except that in this case, when the technician or doctor looks at the cells through a microscope, they will be looking for signs of the various microorganisms, antibodies, or cell changes related to specific STIs.
What about if you have a penis?? If you have a penis, the clinician still often needs to do a swab test. This means taking a swab from the inside of your urethra, the tube that runs all the way down the middle of your penis, where urine and semen come out. The clinician gently inserts a thin cotton-tipped swab into the urethra to get a sample of cells. Most of the folks we know who have had this done say that it is slightly painful, but only for a moment or two. On a scale from 1 (nothing) to 10 (being kicked in the crotch), it's usually about a 4. The cells gathered this way will be examined under a microscope, just as cells collected from someone's vulva are.
The clinician may also take a sample of cells from your throat and/or rectum. These are swab tests, too, and are likewise done with a long cotton swab. Having one done in your throat is a lot like getting a throat culture done to test for strep throat in fact, it's the same procedure, only they look for different things in the lab. As for a rectal (butt) examination, the clinician will do a visual examination as well as sampling of cells. Again, it is not terribly uncomfortable, but it can feel kind of vulnerable or embarrassing. It is better if you try to relax, though, since you being relaxed makes it much easier for the clinician, and thus much more comfortable for you.
Depending on the testing the clinician has ordered for you, you may also be asked for a saliva sample, urine sample, blood sample, or any combination of these. Depending on the clinic or doctor you may or may not be given them all. Chances are you will be given a blood test as it is the most common way to test for HIV and syphilis.

It was a tailgate without a football game, a keg party without a keg.
An estimated 5,000 University of Denver students, faculty and select others spent a lazy afternoon roaming Carnegie Green for DebateFest in the hours before the first presidential debate a few blocks north.
The decidedly sober college party of food trucks, swag and top-notch local rock bands was lent political legitimacy by 50 tents pitching "serious" issues — women's rights, immigration — from the corner of the green.
Michael Tsiolis, a 19-year-old DU marketing major, stood in front of University Hall watching Chris Matthews broadcast a live edition of MSNBC's "Hardball." He held a large "FIRE OBAMA" sign in one hand and a pro-choice cardboard fan in the other.

"I collect the signs," Tsiolis said, adding that he falls more on the Libertarian side than anything else. "It's a party."
The hot-dog-eating contest (hey, it's college, man), sponsored by DU favorite Mustard's Last Stand, proved a popular — if head-scratching — draw. Where was the presidential debate going on, again?
"I've seen a lot of different perspectives today," said 17-year-old Grandview High School student Morgan English, attending the event as part of DU's preps leadership program. "But it hasn't changed my mind about anything."
Solo artist — and recent Cherry Creek High School grad — Zach Heckendorf kicked off the afternoon with a set of breezy pop-folk, serenading the seated, scattered crowd just before 4 p.m.
Heckendorf steered away from overtly political messages during his set, though hinted at partisanship in an interview immediately after receiving a backstage embrace from Gov. John Hickenlooper.
"I am voting," Heckendorf said. "I'm not going to say who for, but you can guess who a 19-year-old musician would vote for, and you'd probably be right."
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, seated on a bale of hay toward the back of the crowd, noted that DebateFest was smartly capitalizing on the massive publicity bump that DU — and Denver in general — was receiving from the first of the 2012 presidential debates.
"I feel this campus bursting with excitement," he said. "All 50 million people seeing these events today have been seeing DU in the background."
Hickenlooper boasted that the whole world's eyes were on Denver, and he seemed to relish comparing the city's music scene to a mix of Austin, Nashville and Memphis before Denver (and Hick) favorite Nathaniel Rateliff took the stage.
Rateliff's performance, which increased the hipster cred of the whole event, preceded the indie-folk Lumineers' day-closing 40-minute set.
The Lumineers delivered an energetic finale to a rapturous crowd. Crowd favorites "Submarines" and "Ho Hey" were instant singalongs, and a fitting cover of Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" wound down the day with a decidedly Western feel.
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows," Lumineers frontman Wesley Schultz sang, a breeze whipping at his back, as if on cue, and a sea of carefree co-eds grooving before him.

Has anyone been lucky enough to get into the USA only beta test?
From the replay videos i've watched, it looks pretty cool, not as strategic as Alteil, but very well polished (like any Blizzard title). I'm crossing my fingers that I might get a beta invite if/when they do a worldwide beta test.

Could Your Teen Be Blinded by Love? The Six Warning Signs
Parents: Are you worried about your teen's love life? Find out the six warning signs that they could be blinded by love:
1) Secret/Incessant Texting
Your teen's texts have increased in frequency; he/she hides in a room with their cell phone.
2) Loss of Close Friends/Buddies
Good friends visit less frequently or disappear from your teen's life completely.
3) Trouble at School
Your teen is receiving bad grades, skipping class, having discipline problems and there's been an increase in the number of calls from the principal's office.
4) Preoccupied with Being in Touch
Your teen is always waiting on their significant other's availability or next date. Everything else is a second priority in their life.
5) Dishonesty
Your teen begins to lie for their boyfriend or girlfriend, making excuses for him or her and lying about last contact (ex. "Have you seen him today?" "No.")
6) Obsession
Your teen's significant other is constantly on their mind, but they don't want to talk about their relationship with you.
Warning Signs
two or more of the above sound familiar, there is reason for concern. If three or more sound familiar, you definitely have a communication issue. Now is the time to bridge the gap with your teen. Sit them down and find out what's going on today.

With spring right around the corner, you might be more interested in fun, light and airy makeup than darker, more intense options. Luckily, Lauren Conrad has you covered - the former reality TV starlet recently posted the perfect eye makeup for the changing seasons on her blog, The Beauty Department.
For this lovely lilac look, you'll need to first pick up a light purple eyeliner, or one in a light silver hue, as well as your favorite mascara and pretty lip gloss.
Start this subtle transformation by rimming your inner waterline by holding down your bottom eyelid gently with your other hand. The addition of the hue here will instantly brighten up your peepers. Next, close your eye and swipe the liner on your top lids directly above your lash lines, starting at the inner corners and working your way out. When the application is perfect, use your finger to smudge the product. Finish the pretty and simple style by applying a few coats of volumizing mascara on your top and bottom lashes.
Since this look is meant to be modest, pair it with a light pink or nude lip gloss on your pout for the right amount of flair.

At the battle club, Tepig walks up to its former trainer, a boy named Shamus. He is the previous owner of Ash's Tepig due to Shamus's abandoning Tepig because he believed that it had no talent for battles when it lost to a Deerling but he never cares when he lied. When Ash went to get Tepig, Shamus said that he was glad to give up such a little runt of a Pokémon for its little talent as he finds another Tepig with a little less talent, which enraged Ash after he put two and two together. So Ash is challenged to a Double Battle against Shamus's Emboar and Heatmor:"The Fire Warriors" to prove how useless Tepig is. Can Tepig really prove that his talents are worth anything?
Pokemon Characters
- Shamus' Emboar is confirmed to be male.
- This is the second time Ash looked up Pignite on the Pokedex. First was BW013: Minccino-Neat and Tidy! but the difference is it didn't say "the evolved form of Tepig".
- This episode would be the last time Ash and co. see Don George and stay in a Pokémon Battle Club since they went there three times in three episodes. Which is BW004: The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!, BW010: A Rival Battle for Club Champ!, and BW016: Rematch at the Nacrene Gym.
- In the flashback, it is revealed that Shamus replaced his own Tepig in Accumula Town for another one, then left. How he got the second one is unknown.
- Now, all of the Tepig evolution family gets hit by Attract on-screen. First was Ash's Tepig in BW007, Bianca's Emboar as her Pignite in BW028, and now Shamus' Emboar.
- Ash's Tepig evolves, marking the second consecutive time that a fire
- This episode has the same general plot as Charmander - The Stray Pokémon.
- Who's that Pokémon?: Heatmor (US).

MBA 605 Tours Target Crime Lab
Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Target recently opened its doors to a group of faculty and MBA students from St. Cloud State University for a behind the scenes look into their forensic lab. MBA students of Drs. Mark Schmidt and Kate Mooney were awarded the very rare opportunity to see firsthand what goes on in Target's forensic lab and direct questions to the experts leading the tour. The CIAS would like to thank Target for this learning opportunity. The students will take this experience and apply their knowledge and techniques acquired from the tour to the classroom as they perform various investigative applications using some of the most high tech forensic equipment on the market. The CIAS was able to purchase forensic equipment with the help of a grant from the Department of Defense and has been educating students as well as training area law enforcement as a result.

Donation Fridays
Instead of wearing ripped torn jeans to work, why not just make it "Donation Friday" and everyone just throw a $5 bill in a basket as you enter your workplace, as a donation to charity. That might make everyone happy and people would look like they represent the image of their employer — decent and respectful.

EUR-USD posted 1.1501 highs early in the session, the first time on the 1.15 handle since August 26, reportedly vaporizing 1.1500 option knockouts in the process.

The dollar started the new week with the same softening bias it finished last week with. This saw EUR-USD log a new six-month peat at 1.1492 and USD-JPY a fresh 18-month low at 106.16.

Members of the state Consensus Economic Forecasting Committee are saying that uncertainty caused by the partial federal government shutdown, and the threat of another shutdown in a few months, are some of the reasons they are pessimistic about the growth of Maine's economy. As Mal Leary reports, that forecast could result in a downward re-projection of state revenues.
Last week, members of the economic forecasting group heard from several statewide trade groups, from bankers and realtors to car dealers and manufacturers, about Maine's economy.
On Friday, they discussed the information gleaned from those groups, as well as national and international economic forecasts, and concluded that while Maine's economy is improving, it is not improving as fast as most of the nation. Jim Clair is the chairman of the group.
"Some of the Global Insights and Moody's forecasts in the out years were more aggressive than what we were willing to accept, A," Clair says. "B, second point, is that we are concerned that Maine is going to continue to lag the rest of the nation, and so you saw some specific downsizing to do more of a Maine fit. The Maine economy will grow, albeit slower than most of the rest of the nation."
Overall, Clair says, the group is a little more pessimistic than it was in the spring, when it made its last economic forecast. He says the partial federal government shutdown and the threat that the federal government was going to default on its debt will continue to cause uncertainty in the business community, and that will affect job growth and economic expansion.
"No business person wants uncertainty," he says. "And the fact that interest rates, for example, could spike dramatically because of a default, that there could be people unemployed in a way that wouldn't need our services, are really alarming events."
The forecast will be finalized next week and sent to the state Revenue Forecasting Committee. Mike Allen, the associate commissioner for tax policy at Maine Revenue Services, chairs that panel, and closely watched the economic committee's deliberations. He says the economic forecast could well mean a reduction in projected revenues.
"There are always these other factors that need to be taken into account that may help us offset some of this, or all of this," Allen says. "So we are just going to have and wait and see until we get into doing the actual revenue forecast. But, certainly what happened today should dampen the revenues a little bit."
Allen says some revenues are less affected by the economy than others. He also points out the revenue panel will be reviewing a lot of information that was previously unavailable. For example, he says, the deadline for taxpayers with an extension for filing their 2012 taxes was Oct. 15, and he is just getting that data to analyze.
"If that comes in stronger than we thought, we will be jumping off a higher base," he says. "I mentioned today our estimated payment - the third estimated payment for 2013 - came in way above budget. At some point, if that leads us to believe 2013 is stronger than we thought, there's another bump up."
But Allen also shares the concern of the economic forecasting group about what will happen in Congress when the current short term debt extension runs out in February. He says any major economic disruptions at the national level will certainly have a significant ripple effect on Maine revenues.

I love it. I now have 12 dives with this bc a few of them at 90-110 feet. Everything is built to last. It is confortable, has plenty of pockets and loops to connect gear to. I like the double tank straps, I found out from my dive master that i was tightening them incorrecly but still had no problems. There is also another loop at the top to use as a handle/height adjustment strap. Inbetween dives I can tighten it around my regulator and leave evertyhing attached and ready to go.

Comments On Jul 23, 2013:This little insurance policy a nice addition to a rider pack. This strap replaced what was once known as rope, (you pirates will know what I am talking about). I have used this strap twice, because I have used all of the contents in my gas tank twice. This strap is also handy when tying down your bike because one of your riding buddies takes all of your tie downs at the end of the trip because he "knows the blue ones were his". Okay so you stole them first, but you had some blue ones once too!

Comments On Dec 17, 2012:Summary: This is nothing more than cheap webbing with a SINGLE loop, single stitched.
Details: Contrary to the picture shown, there is a loop only on one end, the other end is straight.
Cheap webbing. Single-stitching on the loop, I don't see how this could pull much of anything.
I expected so much more from Moose. TECH NOTE: THE PICTURE FOR THIS PART HAS BEEN UPDATED.

To maintain the city's quiet zone, we must install median separators at the intersection of First and Main, and either close the south side of Second Street or install crossing gates by June.
Mayor Carter blames the city council for its plans to close Second Street and maintain the quiet zone. The city council has only voted on a resolution regarding safety improvements at the Second Street crossing to meet CSX regulations. A decision to close Second Street can only be done by ordinance, and a second reading of that ordinance is Nov. 2.

For decades the number of women choosing to become nuns has been on a sharp decline. According to a Georgetown University study, there were nearly 180,000 sisters in 1965. Today, that number has dropped by two-thirds, down to fewer than 60,000. And the vast majority are over the age of 60. In Maine, the Good Shepherd Sisters are trying to reverse this trend through a public relations campaign, social media and traditional prayer. Take a look at this small order in southern Maine, what its members have accomplished and the effort to recruit younger women to carry on the mission.

Simple but nice one. Just a bit disapointed with those fonts that are in my opision so overused on fantasy maps. Have some rep for a first nice map though
Hey guys,
The North is a map I made for a dungeons and dragons campaign I worked on with a few friends. Every player had his own continent to create to prevent complications when switching dungeon master.
I choose a northern continent with a strong Viking feeling. The North is mostly populated by Humans and Dwarves, the main protagonists. Giants and icedemons live to the far north.
The map I made is pretty basic. I made some sketches on paper first, then used Adobe Illustrator to finalize. There is one river the riverpolice will complain about (near Sigheim), totally my mistake! The scale is totally wrong...
Alot of this is inspired by the Tolkien maps, ofcourse.
Anyways, it was a fun little project.
C&C very welcome!
ps: yay, first thread!
Simple but nice one. Just a bit disapointed with those fonts that are in my opision so overused on fantasy maps. Have some rep for a first nice map though
I like it. I guess the fonts don't bother me so much given the nature of the map - a simple Tolkienesque piece. Had they been on any other style of map I would tend to agree with Max's assessment though.
If you font have anything nice to say, font say anything at all.
/me runs away giggling like a little girl
It's a good, solid piece, like has been said.
I didn't even notice the font, before it was pointed out... and still, I guess I'm not overexposed enough to notice it. It's a basic Tolkienian font, I guess?
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, the font really is too Tolkienesque. Probably because, at the time i created this map, i was going through some LotR maps on the internet for inspiration. I've created the map after a long pause in making maps (my first maps where made right after the first LotR movie came out, i was 12 at the time and just started with my first D&D group).. I'm researching alot right now to start making new and original maps. This place is the perfect place for feedback i guess! Thanks again!
Didn't notice the font before I read the posts ! I guess it fits the map style... maybe a bit too complex to be completely legible ?
Anyway, I would like to play in that D&D campaign... right in the frost.
PS : oh, un compatriote / een landgenoot
I really like this. Nice, clean layout, great mountains! Good color scheme. The font doesn't really bother me very much, probably because the only place you do regularly see it is Tolkien maps.
Lovely map, Sreynders.
I'll just refer you to Diamond's post as he pretty much said exactly what I was thinking.
Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.

He's currently AU's first-team slot receiver and may also return punts."Dunn has been good for us, not only in a leadership role, but he's been making plays in practice," said AU receivers coach Greg Knox.

Summary: Mondi Group
The rating on Mondi Group continues to reflect its favorable cost position with a well-invested asset base, leading position in emerging markets, and meaningful geographic and end-market diversity. It also reflects a significantly improved operating and financial performance, which could translate into a higher rating over the near term. These factors are balanced by medium-term risk factors, particularly Mondi's exposure to competitive and cyclical paper and packaging markets. Key business and profitability developments Despite severe cost inflation for key production inputs such as wood, recycled fiber, and energy, Mondi achieved adjusted operating margins for full-year 2010 of about 15% (13.2% in 2009). The improvement came primarily as a result of a broad recovery in demand which, together with industry capacity...

|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
- "Brothers, I just got word that Jason's been killed up in Broker. He was banging some Russian broad and her heavy duty father didn't much like it."
- ―Billy Grey.
It's War is a mission in The Lost and Damned. It is given by Billy Grey to Johnny Klebitz.
This opening cutscene shows Billy Grey talking to a Dave Grossman, a member who is also a lawyer for Goldberg, Ligner and Shyster. Billy casually offers Dave a bong hit, which he spiked with mescaline causing Grossman to go on a high that Billy says he "could be trippin' for days". Johnny enters and has to talk to Billy, telling Dave to "fuck off" so he can speak privately with Billy. While conversing about the club's business and their relationship, Billy receives a text message informing him that members of The Lost were attacked by AOD members.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go with Billy
- Take out the Angels of Death
- Get on your bike
- Go with Billy
- Take out the Angels of Death
- Get on your bike
Drive out to the scene in Alderney and find a plethora of AOD members in the area. Since this can be a mostly long range fight, you should call Jim Fitzgerald before the mission to have him leave a fully loaded Micro-SMG on the second floor of the Lost MC Clubhouse. After eliminating all of them, you're ordered back onto your bike. Follow Billy Grey to another location, where a larger concentration of AOD members are holed up. Some of them have taken to the higher ground, on the catwalks, so watch out for them. Make good use of the multitude of explosive barrels and gas tanks to kill larges amounts of enemies at once. Move forward with the members, clearing out AODs in the abandoned building to the left, until you reach the back, where some Gang Burritos will arrive. Kill the AODs coming out of them.
After eliminating the large amount of enemies at this abandoned site, you're again ordered back to your Hexer, where a cutscene occurs. It appears as if the member you met early in the game, Jason Michaels, has been killed by an Eastern European (Niko Bellic, protagonist of the GTA IV main story, specifically the mission No Love Lost given by Mikhail Faustin). Billy Grey gives a brief speech Jason's character and everyone downs a beer before smashing the empty bottles on the ground. Billy vows revenge and talks briefly of loyalty and following the leader's decisions, mostly looking towards Johnny during this discussion. Once his speech concludes, so does the mission.
Video Walkthrough
- Lost MC members can be killed, but if either Billy or Brian gets killed, Johnny will fail the mission.
- If Johnny abandons his bike, Billy will give him a ride back to the clubhouse, and he will fail the mission.
- It is possible to save the bikers engaged in the shootout with or without your gang. It is harder with your gang, due to them being under heavy fire from AoD members, and having health like a normal pedestrian. The player needs heavy weapons like the M4/AK-47 to kill the AoD members fast enough to make sure they can escape to their bikes and drive off. The easier way is to ride ahead of your gang at the start of the mission and save Lost members who are under attack by AoD.
- News reports of the GTA IV mission "Roman's Sorrow" will appear on the internet after this mission. This is to move the story along faster as TLAD moves to Bohan after It's War, bringing it in line with Niko's story.
- After the mission is complete, if the player follows the Lost on their bikes they will just disappear as they go around the corner.
- Sometimes, when Billy shouts an order to the brothers, Johnny will say something like "Yes Sir" very low and with a teasing/angry voice.
- If you destroy either Billy's or Brian's bike, they will ride back to the clubhouse on the back of your bike and the mission will fail.
- In game dialogue (mostly on a second attempt after the mission has failed once) Johnny will say to Brian "man the deadbeats seem real annoyed, if I were you I'd be real scared they'd attack me on the streets" but Brian replies by saying "they won't fuck with me when I'm with Bill, no one fucks with Bill".
- This mission features one of the rare appearances of the Gang Burrito in The Lost and Damned.
- When going to the next place to kill the AoD, a man will follow Johnny until all the AoD are killed.
- This mission is similar to the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mission Grove 4 Life as Carl and Johnny both have to kill their rival gangs (the Ballas and the Angels of Death respectively) in two different areas (although Carl can take over all four areas of his war zone optionally).
- Some of the Gang Burritos in this mission are locked.
- When the cops arrive in response to the first shootout, you won't receive a wanted level, in fact, the cops will drive away shortly after their arrival.
- If you choose to save the Lost MC members, then you can take on the Angels of Death members by yourself (without much dialogue).

Hoffpauir Is Cubs' Crash Davis
I hope Micah Hoffpauir doesn't read this post.
The poor guy just set the career record for most RBI with Triple-A Iowa–a dubious achievement for any minor leaguer–and here I am making light of it.
In six seasons with Iowa Hoffpauir has played 371 games, made 1,478 plate appearances and knocked in the record setting 282 RBI, which surpasses the mark previously held by Joe Hicks.
Had the Cubs not signed Derrek Lee in 2004, there's a good chance Hoffpauir's path to the majors would have gone differently.
Instead, Micah, limited by his defensive inabilities to play other positions than first base, has taken a back seat to Lee's Gold Glove caliber defense and prolific bat.
Now, at the ripe age of 29-years-old, Hoffpauir is playing the real life version of Crash Davis: an unlucky player when it comes to catching a big league break.
Of course, as much as I would enjoy seeing Hoffpauir remain with the Cubs organization, the guy just needs a chance to play everyday at the major league level–somewhere other than Chicago.
For certain, Micah will be recalled to the big club in September, but there's little chance he'll get the opportunity to become a regular in the lineup, especially given the resurgence of Derrek Lee's bat, which only insures Hoffapuir will continue to add to his RBI total at Iowa if he remains in Chicago beyond this season.
Surely there's an AL team in need of a DH next season, and Hoffpauir, a free-agent at season's end, would be the perfect fit.
The man has clearly earned a break, and I hope a major league club gives him one before its too late.

text: That famous display of emotion has done the 25-year-old Scot no harm, and the ovation that greeted his return to Centre Court spoke of a warmth towards him that has not been so evident before.'The support I got from people I bumped into in the street, from politicians and celebrities, was overwhelming after the final and I'm not really used to that,' said Murray, who now meets Finland's Jarkko Nieminen. I understand that in the past it wasn't that easy to get behind me because I didn't look particularly happy on court.''Before and during Wimbledon I felt like I had grown up a bit and that my demeanour was better. All the support afterwards was great for my confidence and made me want to get back to work. Last week I was so pumped to play that it was almost like I was peaking too early. There is a real motivation in wanting to help the team medal count here.'

- The english wiki uses SMW and SMW forms, which at the moment are not available to be requested for installation due to bugs. As for using our infoboxes, when it is available it should be as simple as copying the entire set of templates and changing the language from english to italian. — SimAnt 13:59, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
Character relations are only added to infoboxes if their exact kinship is known. Also, inserting false information, like Obito and Shisui being siblings, that can lead to blocking. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:57, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Stephen Pearson has been visiting Ghana, West Africa for over 30 years and still goes there three times a year helping an NGO. During his April 2009 visit he helped train rural ladies in the production of CooKit solar panel cookers. They can now make these unassisted. His recent efforts include the formation of SUN-LIFE, an NGO working in the area to introduce and promote solar cooking.
Stephen Pearson reports: "We build CooKits in pieces use eleven small panels of cardboard. Shops even in rural areas have thin cardstock available as scrap. These can be laminated together using local cassava glue (cassava is grown all over Africa) to form stiff panels, thus avoiding the need to import thicker cardboard. Join the eleven panels together with 2" strips of worn out dress or shirt (using the cassava glue). Protect the perimeter of the 11 panels with more 2"strips (1" front and 1" back to stop delamination of the cardboard). Let each panel dry properly. Then turn it over and glue on the aluminum foil to the side that has no cloth hinge strips."
News and Recent Developments
- May 2010: The SUN-LIFE sponsored Oven Festival was recently held in the Dangme East area of Ghana (80 miles east of Accra). Quite well attended, there were about sixty ovens on display, all locally made using the CooKit design. The oven components were salvaged and recycled from local materials. Only the aluminum foil, at a cost of $2/oven, needed to be purchased. The event was held in collaboration with the Community Directed Development Foundation, started by Professor Bosompem. Stephen Pearson was the only European present. Other guests included representatives from several government ministries. The festivities began with a procession of local "oven ladies" led by the local brass band. After introductions and speeches, there were competitions and prizes awarded for best oven, best recipes, best group, etc.

Key Messages:
- You choose whether and how much to share your cancer experience with various people in your life. In addition, you are not obligated to share the details of your cancer diagnosis with anyone who doesn't need to know.
- Consider preparing your thoughts before sharing your story, but give yourself the freedom to say what feels right in the moment.
- Remember that people react differently to potentially difficult or upsetting news, and negative reactions are often a result of people's past experiences, related feelings, and coping mechanisms. Surround yourself with caring people in your life who will listen and support you.
About 14 million people in the United States have survived cancer, and each person has a story to share, if he or she wishes to do so. Some people feel comfortable talking with others about their cancer diagnosis and treatment, while others prefer to keep details private. For some people, the topic may be too recent or painful to discuss without stirring up complex emotions, and others may feel uncomfortable talking about their bodies. Physical changes, such as a scar in an exposed or easily visible area, or noticeable weight and hair loss, may cause people to ask questions. Telling others about your cancer diagnosis is an individual choice, and you have the right to decide how much to share, if anything, regardless of any questions. Preparing for potential conversations or practicing how and what to say, may relieve your anxiety.
Whom to tell
First, decide if you want to talk to about your cancer diagnosis, who you want to tell, and how much you want to share, based on the nature of your relationships. For example, your employer and some coworkers may need to know some but not all of the information to support a schedule change or shift in job responsibilities. Meanwhile, you may choose to share intimate details about your cancer diagnosis, treatment plan, and emotional journey with trusted friends and family members.
It is particularly important to be intentional in the way you talk with children in your life—your own children, nieces and nephews, or grandchildren—about cancer. Children often sense that something is wrong, even if they don't know what it is. As a result, avoiding the topic may lead them to imagine or make up their own explanations, which may be inaccurate and upsetting. Talk with children about the cancer diagnosis very simply and concretely, using words that they can understand; listen to their concerns; and answer their questions to the best of your ability. Learn more about how to talk with children and how children understand cancer at various ages.
You may also consider sharing your story on a larger scale to support those living with cancer, raise public awareness, advance cancer research, improve the quality of cancer care, and address legislative and regulatory issues that affect cancer care and research. Learn more about being a cancer advocate.
How to start
If you feel unsure about what to say, you may find it helpful to write down the details that you wish to share with specific people in your life before talking with them. As you consider what to write, anticipate questions or reactions that you may receive, and decide how you would like to respond. Some people might feel more comfortable with practicing telling the story out loud alone or with a trusted friend or family member. Others might feel more comfortable if the conversation is less rehearsed.
At the same time, give yourself the freedom and flexibility to say what feels right at the moment. You may choose to share your story one day but decide you don't feel willing to talk about it another time. You may even change your mind about sharing once a conversation starts.
How to respond to other people's reactions
People react differently to potentially difficult or upsetting news. As a result, you may feel anxious about sharing your cancer experience, fearing the possible reactions. It helps to choose a stress-free time and environment to talk, beginning by telling the person that you have something important to share.
If a person reacts negatively—acting uncomfortable, abruptly changing the subject, or stopping the conversation—try to avoid taking it personally. This reaction likely is a result of the person's past experiences, related feelings, and coping mechanisms. Some people simply do not know how to react or what to say. Or your story may remind them of fears they have about cancer or trigger memories of a previous challenging experience or loss.
If after you share your story, a person asks questions that feel intrusive or starts taking the conversation in a direction that feels uncomfortable to you, remember that you have the freedom to decline sharing certain information or express your desire to change the topic or end the conversation.
Although you may receive some negative reactions, you will likely be relieved to find that compassionate people in your life will encourage you to share as much of your story as you would like and that they will be happy support you. Those relationships may even grow stronger through the experience.
