Coming Friday, November 30th! EX: 11 LOST GUARDIANS
8 all new EX cards available in packs and a complete box!
From the far reaches of Lavato come four legendary figures. Generals and other major figures from the great kingdoms consider them lost souls... some of them, would even be considered myths. But they are very real, and they have the power to shake the world!
But who are these guardians on the edge of the war?
As a guardian of the One True Gem, she was given the power of reincarnation. Despite her non-human nature, she was able to reincarnate as a human. She finds her form very useful as she can infiltrate human society and manipulate events to benefit her own kind.
She is the Carbuncle General, Amethyst Eater!
A domestic servant loved the family who owned her, especially the young master. When they were all assassinated, she became an assassin herself, earning the money she needed to modify her body and become the ultimate killing machine. But her one true target, the one who killed her family, will be forever out of reach.
The Magic Doll Assassin, Marchare!
A strategist in exile, he became a mercenary and perfected the art of combat with his gigantic sword. His special technique creates a vacuum behind his blade that tears everything apart in a single swing, from solid stone to the thickest armor. Nothing has taken his full-strength attack and survived!
The Mercenary Warrior, Gregory!
There are certain elemental forces that make up the world -- light, darkness, wind, water, fire and earth. But there is one elemental creature forever beyond the control of summoners, one who can absorb the powers of the spirits and use it to obliterate her enemies!
The Great Spirit princess, Oeste!
Along with EX: Lycanthrope [Brahma], EX: Lycanthrope [Fenrir], EX: Fighter Pixie and EX: Mermaid Soldier, join us to welcome the first all-new cards available since the Alteil Apocoplay relaunch!

- My name.... It's literally not my real name, just like most people here don't use their real names (it doesn't even come close to my real name). Anyways, I chose that name from some online multiplayer game (the wiki can be found on my user masthead) because I like to make names interesting and not something that makes a squirrel fall asleep from the redundancy (I like to be unique). Anyways, I don't literally make friends on Wikia, but it's usually just a friendly/silly user-to-user talk. But if you feel the need of becoming friends, in your terms, then I guess I can see where it fits. :) And by the way, the Welcome is an automated message. Bermuda • Triangle • 22:42,1/11/2012

Sansa Stark
this wiki
- "Lady Stark, you may survive us yet."
- ―Tyrion Lannister to Sansa Stark
Sansa Stark, is a major character in the first, second and third seasons. She is played by starring cast member Sophie Turner and debuts in the series premiere. She adopted a direwolf she named "Lady", but Lady was executed following a dispute between Joffrey and Sansa's sister, Arya. Sansa was once betrothed to King Joffrey Baratheon. She was initially thrilled at her betrothal, but has since experienced Joffrey's cruelty and watched the execution of her father, Eddard Stark, on his orders. Joffrey has since set aside his betrothal to Sansa in favor of Margaery Tyrell, but she remains a captive of House Lannister in King's Landing. Sansa is now the lady wife of Lord Tyrion Lannister, following an arranged marriage by his father, Tywin.
BackgroundSansa Stark is the eldest daughter and second child of Lady Catelyn and Lord Eddard Stark. Eddard is the head of House Stark and Lord Paramount of the North. The North is one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Stark is one of the Great Houses of the realm. House Stark rules the region from their seat of Winterfell and Eddard also holds the titles of Lord of Winterfell and the Warden of the North to King Robert Baratheon.[1]
Sansa was born and raised at Winterfell. She has three brothers (Robb, Bran and Rickon), a half-brother (Jon Snow) and a younger sister (Arya). Sansa enjoys proper "lady-like" pursuits, and is good at sewing, embroidering, poetry, and music. She dreams of being a regal Queen like Cersei Lannister, and that just like in the epic songs she will meet her knight in shining armor. She has the Tully coloring as do most of her siblings, and Lady Catelyn thinks Sansa will be even more beautiful than she was when she was younger. She is often seen in contrast with her sister, Arya Stark who has neither her looks nor her accomplishments in feminine activities and comportment.[2]
Season 1
When her brothers find an orphaned litter of direwolf pups, Sansa adopts the gentlest one and names her Lady. When King Robert Baratheon visits Winterfell to offer Sansa's father the position of Hand of the King, he also offers to betrothe his son Joffrey to Sansa. Sansa, who is very taken with the handsome young prince, thinks this is a splendid notion. She longs for the excitement of the capital and begs her parents to agree to the match, until they do so. Eddard takes the handship and decides to take his daughters with him to the capital.[3]
At the Crossroads Inn on the kingsroad, Joffrey offers to walk Sansa along the riverbank after the disquieting experience of meeting Ser Ilyn Payne, the king's headsman. They find Arya practicing her swordwork with Mycah, a butcher's son, and Joffrey starts to hurt him for acting above his station and striking a girl of noble blood. Arya strikes Joffrey, and when the prince retaliates, Arya's direwolf, Nymeria, intervenes and bites Joffrey's arm. Arya and Mycah flee and Joffrey cries before snapping at Sansa to get him help. Sansa is taken before King Robert and his retainers and asked to corroborate Joffrey's claim, that he was the victim of an unprovoked attack. Arya tells her to tell the truth, but to Arya's fury, Sansa is worried about upsetting her relationship with Joffrey, so she says that it happened too fast for her to know. Queen Cersei orders that Nymeria be executed for harming Joffrey, but when the direwolf cannot be found she suggests that Lady be substituted for her. Eddard, furious with Robert for agreeing to this, carries out the execution himself, to Sansa's anger.[4]
Arriving in King's Landing, Sansa's enmity towards Arya and her father continues. Eddard fails to mollify Sansa by buying her a doll as she hasn't played with dolls for years. Eddard explains to Arya that Sansa could not defy Joffrey or go against his version of events if she wished to maintain his goodwill in marriage.[5]
Septa Mordane shows Sansa the throne room of the Red Keep as part of a history lesson, Sansa realizes that her grandfather and uncle were killed there by the Mad King. Sansa is fearful that she will not be able to give Joffrey sons, only daughters like her friend Jeyne Poole's mother, but Mordane doesn't think this likely.[6]
At the Hand's tournament, Sansa witnesses Ser Gregor Clegane killing Ser Hugh of the Vale during a joust. Littlefinger tells Sansa about how Gregor burned the face of his brother, Sandor, when they were very young. Sandor is Joffrey's bodyguard and Littlefinger advises against relaying the story to Sandor.[6]
Sansa is given a flower by Ser Loras Tyrell, the famous Knight of the Flowers, before his tilt with Ser Gregor Clegane. He gives the flower to Sansa, but he is looking at Prince Renly who is sitting behind her. She witnesses him defeating Gregor, and Gregor's subsequent furious attack on him, which is halted only by the intervention of Sandor. She joins the smallfolk in applauding Sandor's actions.[7]
Sansa and Septa Mordane are embroidering, and Sansa begins speaking very rudely to her, as time at court around Cersei is changing her for the worse. Joffrey visits Sansa and gives her a present. He also apologizes for the incident on the Kingsroad and kisses her, winning back her favor. Sansa is later told by her father that he is sending her and Arya back to Winterfell, and her betrothal to Joffrey is to be broken. Sansa refuses to accept this: she tells them that she loves Joffrey, she will be his queen, and give him beautiful blonde-haired children. He will be a great king and a golden lion. When Arya points out that he isn't a lion, but a stag like his father, King Robert, Sansa angrily says Joffrey is nothing like him. This inadvertently leads Eddard to realize that Joffrey and his siblings are not King Robert's true children. Eddard tells Sansa and Arya that they are returning to Winterfell, over Sansa's furious protests.[8] King Robert dies following a hunting accident and Eddard attempts to reveal the truth about Joffrey to prevent him taking the throne. Eddard is betrayed by Littlefinger, his guards are killed and he is arrested.[9]
Eddard's retinue at the Red Keep is slaughtered by House Lannister guardsmen led by Sandor. Mordane moves to confront the Lannister soldiers, while telling Sansa to lock herself in their rooms. Sansa is taken into custody by Sandor and brought to Cersei. She pleads for her father's cause, insisting that a mistake has been made, and proclaiming her own loyalty. Cersei says that she will believe Sansa is loyal on the condition that Sansa write to Robb asking him to bend the knee and swear fealty to Joffrey. The letter is unsuccessful and Robb instead raises an army and marches south to relieve the Riverlands from the Lannister armies. Sansa again pleads for mercy and for her father's life, this time in front of the entire court, and Joffrey agrees to give him mercy if he admits his wrongdoing and acknowledges Joffrey as the true king. Sansa says that she is sure he will.[10]
At his trial, Eddard Stark acknowledges his "crimes" and swears loyalty to King Joffrey Baratheon. To Sansa's utter shock and horror, Joffrey nevertheless orders Eddard's decapitation. Sansa is prevented from interfering and her father is killed before her eyes.[11]
Days later, Sansa is in court and watches as Joffrey orders the removal of the tongue of the singer Marillion, who has written a song unfavorable to the royal family. Joffrey then takes Sansa to the traitor's walkway, where the severed heads of executed criminals are mounted on spikes along the castle walls. He draws Sansa's attention to the severed heads of her father and Septa Mordane. Sansa refuses to give Joffrey the satisfaction of seeing her upset and shows no emotional response. Joffrey tells her that executing Eddard was showing mercy, as he gave him a quick death, and he suggests that he will mount her brother Robb's head on the wall after defeating him. Sansa retorts that maybe Robb will take Joffrey's head instead. Furious, Joffrey has Ser Meryn Trant of the Kingsguard strike her. Joffrey tells Sansa that they are still to be married. Sansa contemplates pushing Joffrey off the walkway, but is subtly stopped by Sandor. After Joffrey and Meryn leave, Sandor gives her a cloth to attend to her cut lip and tells her that she will be needing it again.[12]
Season 2
- Main: Sansa Stark Season 2
Sansa remains a captive of Queen Regent Cersei Lannister in King's Landing. She has learned to feign loyalty to King Joffrey Baratheon to avoid further abuse from him. She attends Joffrey's name day tournament and convinces him to spare Ser Dontos Hollard when he attends drunk.[13]
Sansa is forced to sit through the Lannisters discussing killing her brother Robb Stark over dinner. She vents her frustration on her new handmaid Shae.[14] When Robb wins a crushing victory at the Battle of Oxcross, Joffrey responds by having Sansa stripped and beaten in front of the court. Tyrion Lannister intervenes and offers to end her engagement to Joffrey, but she retains her facade of loyalty.[15]
Sansa attends the departure of Princess Myrcella Baratheon for Dorne . She stands up to Joffrey when he mocks his brother Tommen for crying. As the royal party returns to the Red Keep Joffrey is struck by excrement thrown by the angry crowd. Joffrey causes a city wide riot by demanding that his guards kill all of the smallfolk present. Sansa is separated from the rest of the group and almost raped by a group of commoners. She is rescued by Sandor Clegane. Shae treats her injuries and Sansa tries to rationalize being attacked when she hates Joffrey more than anyone. Shae warns her not to say such things and to trust no-one.[16]
Sansa has a nightmare that she is being stabbed by her attackers from the riots. She wakes up to find her mattress bloodied by the onset of her first period. Shae tries to help her conceal the evidence as it means she is ready to bear Joffrey's children. The Hound catches them and (reluctantly) informs the Queen. Cersei gives Sansa advice on motherhood, reassuring her that she will love her children if not her husband. She tells Sansa that the more people you love, the weaker you are.[17]
Stannis Baratheon sails his fleet into the bay outside King's Landing triggering the Battle of the Blackwater. Sansa is summoned to the throne room to say goodbye to Joffrey. He forces her to kiss his new sword and she subtly undermines his bravado. She then takes refuge in Maegor's Holdfast with Shae; Cersei is hosting the women of the court there. She torments Sansa during the battle, mocking her faith, telling her that Ser Ilyn Payne is present to kill her if the walls are breached and drunkenly telling her to use her sexuality as a weapon. Cersei eventually storms out, believing the battle lost. Sansa attempts to keep the morale of the women up with prayers and singing. Shae tells Sansa to return to her chambers and bar her door to keep her safe should Stannis breach the keep. Sansa finds Sandor waiting for her inside. He tells her that he is going north and offers to take her with him. She is reluctant to leave the potential safety of being rescued by Stannis but he warns her that all men are killers. Stannis's force is ultimately defeated by a host of House Lannister and House Tyrell reinforcements led by Tywin Lannister.[18]
Sansa attends court as Joffrey doles out rewards. Tywin is named Savior of the City and Hand of the King, Petyr Baelish is made Lord of Harrenhal and Loras Tyrell is allowed to name a favor from the king. He asks Joffrey to marry his sister Margaery. Joffrey asks Margaery if this is what she wants while Cersei looks at Sansa deviously. Joffrey says that he would be honored to return Margaery's love, but regrets that he is promised to Sansa. Cersei suggests Joffrey set Sansa aside because of her family's treachery. Joffrey accepts the betrothal. Joffrey states that he will "Love you from this day, until my last day" - the same endearment he once offered Sansa.[8] Sansa turns away, feigning sadness but allowing herself laughter once she has privacy. Her revelry is halted by Petyr consoling her; she pretends to be upset. Petyr crushes her hopes of freedom and warns her that her situation has worsened, as she will no longer have the token protection of becoming Joffrey's queen but will remain his captive. Petyr tells her that she reminds him of her mother and vows to help her return home. Sansa is reluctant to trust him and maintains her facade.[19]
Season 3
Baelish tells Sansa of a new role that he has taken which will allow him to leave King's Landing, and offers to smuggle her out of the city. She is hesitant about the idea. Margaery and her grandmother Olenna Tyrell invite her to lunch in the gardens, where they ask her about Joffrey. Sansa is initially restrained and polite, but soon admits that he is a "monster".
While she prays outside under guard, Margaery comes and talks to her, telling her that they should see Highgarden, the Tyrell home, together. Sansa replies that Cersei would never allow her to leave King's Landing. Margaery tells her that she could be a wife to Loras Tyrell, to which Sansa is overjoyed. They go to see Loras during his swordplay practice, during which she admires him.
Loras and Sansa spend more time together in the following weeks, though Sansa is far more enthusiastic about their impending marriage then he is. Loras admits he's always wanted a big wedding with lots of guests, fancy food and a good tournament, though he only seems to remember that there will be a bride when Sansa gives him an expectant look. One subject where they do find common ground is their shared hatred of King's Landing, with Loras saying that King's Landing is "the most terrible place there is".
The plan to wed Sansa to Loras is scuppered when Cersei Lannister grows increasingly suspicious of the Tyrells and learns of the proposed marriage through Petyr Baelish, which prompts Tywin Lannister to arrange for his Cersei and Tyrion to marry Loras and Sansa respectively, to curb the ambitions of House Tyrell and to bolster the ties between the Lannisters and two of the other great houses of the Seven Kingdoms.
As she watches Littlefinger's ship depart for the Vale of Arryn , Sansa is devastated as she realises that both of her chances to leave King's Landing have gone, and she has no choice but to marry into the family that killed her father. However, Tyrion promises to Sansa that he will not mistreat her, and she concedes that there are worse Lannisters she could be wed to.
The wedding itself is an embarassing affair. Joffrey smugly escorts Sansa to the altar in place of her father and removes the stool upon which Tyrion was to stand on to cloak Sansa in Lannister colours as part of the ceremony. Tyrion then spends the wedding feast becoming steadily more drunk while Joffrey threatens to forcibly impregnate Sansa. Joffrey is insistent on going ahead with the bedding ceremony despite his uncle's protestations, but Tyrion threatens that Joffrey will "be fucking [his] own bride with a wooden cock" if he doesn't let it drop. Tywin defuses the situation by dispensing with the bedding ceremony, and Tyrion takes Sansa out of the room before Joffrey can take it any further.
Tyrion refuses to consummate their marriage, saying he will wait until she wants him to, even if that means never. Shae is pleased to see that Sansa's bedsheets are unstained the morning after the wedding, as it means that Sansa remains a virgin. Sansa and her new husband actually get along rather well, sharing jokes and a common enemy in Joffrey. However, their cordial relationship suffers a crushing blow when Sansa receives news of the death of her mother and brother at the Red Wedding , an event orchestrated by Tyrion's father.

Family tree
In the books
In A Song of Ice and Fire, Sansa is very much a lady, with a keen interest in music, poetry, singing and dancing and other "ladylike" pursuits such as embroidery. She has a romantic notion of handsome princes and knights fighting honorably for love and loyalty. She is sharply contrasted with her far less idealistic younger sister, Arya.
Due to a time jump which was originally planned in the books but later dropped, Sansa is only 11 years old when the narrative begins. Author George R.R. Martin himself has said that he would have aged-up the younger characters had he initially known he would abandoned the time-jump. Therefore, in the TV series' timeline, all of the younger characters including Sansa have been aged up two years from the books. Thus, Sansa is 13 years old in Season 1, and 14 years old in Season 2. Keeping in mind that in medieval times the age of maturity was lower than it is today, this younger age in the books isn't quite as unusual as it sounds, but due to the abandoned time jump this still led to some discrepancies. For example, Joffrey's torment of Sansa doesn't have quite the same inherent sexual tension to it in the books, because they're both two years younger.
A subplot in the books which is only somewhat alluded to in the TV series is that in her desperation, Sansa starts latching onto the idea of Sandor Clegane as her protector from Joffrey or a potential source of an escape attempt.
In the books Sansa is shown to be culpable for her father's arrest by revealing his plans to Queen Cersei. She acts in an attempt to have Cersei command Lord Eddard to remain in King's Landing so that Sansa could marry Joffrey.
Sansa technically gained the title of "princess" when her brother Robb was declared the new King in the North. While her brothers Bran and Rickon use the title of "prince" among the Northerners at Winterfell, Sansa's storyline involves her being held as a prisoner at King Joffrey's court in King's Landing. The Lannisters refuse to acknowledge the North's claims of independence so they don't refer to Sansa as "princess". Meanwhile, Sansa is in fear for her life, subject to frequent beatings at the hands of the Kingsguard at Joffrey's whim, so she doesn't refer to herself as "princess" for fear of angering her captors. Thus her title is rarely if ever invoked (unless Robb and Catelyn in the Northern camp are discussing her captivity).
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Sansa" is pronounced "SAHN-suh" (i.e. between "San-suh" and "Sohn-suh").
Why Sansa Stark is never renamed "Sansa Lannister"
Enough people have asked about this that it bears explanation: Among the powerful noble families of the Seven Kingdoms, women will retain the use of their maiden name if their family is more powerful than their husband's family.
In Westeros, only members of noble Houses typically have surnames (i.e. "Eddard Stark" is actually "Eddard of House Stark" in full). The nobility of the Seven Kingdoms is actually formed of roughly five tiers, which in descending order are: the royal family that controls the Iron Throne, the Great Houses who rule entire regions, the major noble Houses, the lesser noble Houses, and the knightly Houses. The Targaryens were the royal family though they were recently supplanted by the Baratheons. Great Houses rule each of the formerly independent "Seven Kingdoms" - such as the Starks who rule the North, the Lannisters who rule the Westerlands, and the Tyrells who rule the Reach. Major Houses are those under the Great Houses, such as House Umber which serves the Starks, or House Redwyne which serves the Tyrells. Underneath them are the lesser noble Houses (i.e. House Poole), and below them are knightly Houses (i.e. House Clegane): the difference between the two is that lesser Lords still have the right to dispense justice on their lands while knights do not.
Typically, if a noblewoman marries above her station into a more powerful family, she will switch to publicly using that family name. For example, "Olenna Tyrell" was born Olenna Redwyne, but the Tyrells are a more prestigious family than the Redwynes so she switched to use of that name. A noblewoman who married below her station would defiantly continue to use the name of the more prestigious family she was born into. For example, Tywin Lannister's younger sister Genna was forced into a marriage alliance to a member of House Frey, but continues to be called "Genna Lannister" because the Freys were below the rank of Great House. All of this is simply a matter of personal preference (and family pressure), but it is a custom and not a rule.
Just a regular noble House such as the Redwynes or Freys would jump at the chance to marry off a daughter into a Great House, members of the Great Houses would jump at the chance to marry off a daughter into the royal dynasty. Thus it was a particularly sharp snub when after her marriage to the new king, Robert Baratheon, Cersei continued to prefer to be known as "Cersei Lannister", instead of taking on the name "Cersei Baratheon". Apparently, in her own mind, Cersei wished to emphasize that she still considered the Lannisters to be superior to the usurping Baratheons, particularly given that her father Tywin was bankrolling Robert. Under normal cirstumstances, if a Frey daughter married a Tyrell she would eagerly prefer to be called "Tyrell", but if a Tyrell married a Targaryen, she would eagerly switch to using the name "Targaryen".
If a woman marries into another family of equal rank, however, personal preference is much more diverse. "Catelyn Tully" preferred to be referred to as "Catelyn Stark", but possibly out of her great love for Lord Eddard (that, and the Starks once ruled as kings of the North and were thus a slightly more prestigious House than the Tullys). Even so, it was not unknown for people to refer to her as "Catelyn Tully". Catelyn's sister Lysa, who married into House Arryn (another Great House) is at times referred to as Lysa Arryn or Lysa Tully.
Given that the Starks and Lannisters were both Great Houses of equal social rank, it therefore isn't automatically assumed that Sansa would switch to being known as "Sansa Lannister". The major factor, of course, is that Sansa was forced into a marriage by her captors against her will...and to an unwilling husband. Neither Sansa nor her new "husband" Tyrion want to press the issue - while the other Lannisters actually want to emphasize that Sansa is "of House Stark" to try to legitimize their claim to the North.
On a private level (not that Tywin cares), Sansa and Tyrion never actually consummated their marriage, and thus are not genuinely married in the eyes of the Gods. Such unconsummated marriages can easily be annulled - were it not for the fact that Sansa remains a virtual prisoner in King's Landing.

A Fort Carson soldier already accused of kidnapping and flashing young girls in southern Colorado now faces new charges from another state.
Aaron Lucas, 31, is accused of enticing and sexually abusing a child in Madison, Alabama in 2002.
Lucas was supposed to hear his charges Thursday, but his court appearance was delayed because of a paperwork issue. He is expected in court Friday instead.
Lucas was arrested in Colorado in October in connection to a series of sex offenses allegedly committed over the last two years in Colorado Springs, Fountain and unincorporated El Paso County. According to authorities, Lucas was allegedly exposing himself, then luring or attempting to lure girls under the age of 12 to commit sexual acts with him.

Embarrasing newbie question
Me again.... Here goes.....
I have watched the tutorials, I have saved my files, etc.... (of course having a hard time finding what I want) and now want to start pulling in a background paper to start scrapping.
Of course, I can't. Anytime I have tried to import a paper, there is nothing to get. I have downloaded a few free daily downloads and nothing seems to be correct. All I seem to get is a photo of the different papers available and not actual background paper.
I am so confused as how to go about getting anything from a file.
Do I need to go somewhere and get just background paper first?
I am using PSP.
Thanks for your help and I hope to be able to understand your suggestions.Nancy

Some of us may think of it as a type of bullying, that is, getting hundreds of unwanted e-mails.
One group is not taking it anymore. The major Internet providers are teaming up against spam. They're filing lawsuits against hundreds of people accused of sending millions of unwanted e-mails in violation of a new federal law.
Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL and Earthlink are filing suits. The companies say the defendants include some of the nation's most notorious large-scale spammers.

Comments On Feb 20, 2013:I've been working on Harleys for over 5 years and when you are doing a service on them you have to check the drive belt deflection. I would rather use one of these and get the belt precise than using the "feel" method. I've never been good with that and would rather use this to let me know exactly what the deflection is. If working on your own Harley, you should have one of these in your tool box. I'd buy another one if mine ever broke.

Submitted on September 17, 2010 at 3:55 PM
The fourth annual Fall Fiesta at Vol State is a celebration of Hispanic culture and achievement. Fiesta de otoño, as it is known in Spanish, ties in with Hispanic Heritage Month and will offer everyone the opportunity to come enjoy live music, free food, dance groups and a soccer tournament.
"We're expanding the children's activities this year to include arts and crafts and storytelling," said Eric Melcher, Communications Coordinator for Vol State. "Each year we make sure the Fiesta has plenty to offer the entire family.
People will show off their favorite family recipes during a Latin American food cook-off contest, featuring dishes from many different countries. That contest is sponsored by the Sumner Hispanic Alliance which is also helping to organize the Fiesta itself. After the judging the public will be able to taste the entries. Cultural dances will be performed by the Hispano America Dance Troupe. There will be a soccer tournament running all day long. It will be a half-field, half-team elimination competition with trophies for the top teams. Players and teams can sign up starting at 9 a.m.
"We're encouraging people to bring a blanket or lawn chairs, and spend the day," Melcher said. "It's not just for Hispanics, we hope everyone will come out and have fun."
The Fall Fiesta is free. It will be held rain or shine, with the college Gym being used in case of bad weather. The Fiesta de otoño will be held on Saturday, October 9 from 10am to 4pm on the Volunteer State Community College campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin.

Chemical Exposure and Miscarriage
Topic Overview
Exposure to certain chemicals on a regular basis during pregnancy has been linked to increased rates of miscarriage.
Chemicals that may increase a woman's chance of having a miscarriage include:
- Medicines. Before conceiving, or as soon as you become aware that you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about all of the medicines you have been taking. For example, the use of the medicine isotretinoin for the treatment of acne during pregnancy has been shown to increase the risk of miscarriage and to cause birth defects.1, 2
- Tetrachloroethylene (used in dry cleaning).1
- Arsenic, lead, formaldehyde, benzene, and ethylene oxide.3
- Alcohol consumption, which can also cause birth defects and intellectual disabilities. There is no known safe amount of alcohol intake during pregnancy. The safest course is to avoid alcohol entirely while you are pregnant.
- Cocaine.

National Assembly Speaker Anne Makinda has stressed the need for cooperation between parliamentary oversight committees and the Controller and Auditor General for effective utilisation of public resources.
Speaking at the Southern African Development Community Organisation of Public Accounts Committees (SADCOPAC) and Eastern African Association of Public Accounts Committees (EAAPAC) accountability conference, Makinda said the PAC had been mandated by the parliament to oversee the management of public resources, although its work depended on the CAG.
The Speaker, also asked the PAC to cooperate with supreme audit institutions to curb misuse of public resources.
"In order to promote good governance, transparency and accountability it is necessary that the PAC and the CAG to cooperate," she told thr 65 delegates.
She noted that good governance, which is an important ingredient of a good democratic system, should be translated into reality.
Speaker Makinda, who is also Njombe South MP (CCM), further challenged the PAC to utilise methods that guaranteed effective and adequate utilisations of public resources.
"Our most important contribution to good governance is to ensure transparency and effective accountability for the use of public resources," she noted.
She said proper functioning of the supreme audit institutions played a significant role in the functioning of the PAC.
"The PAC and the CAG should ensure that the government protects and advances public interest," Makinda said.
Makinda also asked the PAC to oversee the use of funds endorsed by the parliament during the annual budget session.
EAAOAC chairman John Cheyo urged the government to come up with CAG permanent fund to make the office operate with autonomy.
He said the fund would make the CAG to be effective and meet desired expectations.

At less than $90 a barrel, the price of oil is the lowest it has been all year.
For those looking to travel for Memorial Day weekend, you would think this would mean lower gas prices, but professor Lester Zeager from ECU says the process takes time.
"Crude oil is what we get out of the ground, and there are steps in the refining to get to gasoline. So there's a chain of products there, and the price of crude will effect the price of gasoline but maybe not immediately," said Zeager.
We spoke with several in eastern Carolina about their holiday weekend plans. They all said gas prices are causing them to adapt how they will travel, even though they have dipped in recent weeks.

Mitral Valve Stenosis: Repair or Replacement?
Topic Overview
If you have mitral valve stenosis and you need surgery to treat it, you have a choice of repairing the valve or replacing it. Three things play a role in this decision: the severity of your mitral valve stenosis, the possibility that it will get worse, and the risks of surgery.
Repair options
Replacement option
What factors play a role in the decision?
When making this decision, you and your doctor need to consider:
- The condition of the valve and what is causing the stenosis. The more severe the stenosis, the more likely replacement will be needed.
- The surgeon's skill and experience in doing the procedures. Both valve replacements and balloon valvotomies are highly technical and should be done by an experienced surgeon.
- Whether you have a blood clot in your left atrium.
- How urgently you need treatment.
- Whether your heart rhythm is regular or irregular.
Your symptoms and the area of your mitral valve determine how severe your mitral stenosis is: the smaller the area, the lower the volume of blood that is able to pass through it, and so the more severe your stenosis. The pressure difference between your left atrium and left ventricle, as well as the blood pressure in your lungs, is also used to assess severity.
When is mitral valve repair recommended?
Generally, mitral valve repair is preferred if:
- Your valve is suitable for it.
- Your surgeon has the appropriate level of experience and surgical skill.
The advantages of mitral valve repair are that it:
- Preserves your natural valve.
- Leads to fewer complications and better postoperative results (generally lower risk of mortality) than mitral valve replacement.
The disadvantages of mitral valve repair are that:
- Not all valve problems can be repaired.
- The repair may not last and then you may need valve replacement surgery.
A balloon valvotomy is typically preferred over mitral commissurotomy as long as the doctor is experienced with the procedure. The two procedures have similar rates of success. A balloon valvotomy is a minimally invasive catheter procedure. A commissurotomy repair is typically an open-heart surgery using a heart-lung bypass machine.
When is mitral valve replacement recommended?
Valve replacement surgery might be done if the valve is damaged beyond repair.
This surgery is a major, open-heart surgery that puts a lot of stress on your body. It involves the risks associated with a major surgery. The exact risks of mitral valve surgery vary depending on the person's specific condition and general health prior to surgery. Younger, healthy people have a lower risk of problems. Older people with other health problems have a higher risk.
