Dear Hyapatia,
I work in a gentlemen's club as a dancer with about 20 other girls. We all share a dressing room, but have separate lockers. Our manager is real cool and we get high back there on our breaks. We take turns bringing smoke. Whenever I bring some buds in, my boyfriend throws a hissy fit. He thinks I should only smoke with him and never anyone else or by myself. I feel like he's trying to control me and that pisses me off. We share the cost of our smoke but I make more money then he does, so I end up paying more for it. He sells some to help out, but somehow I never see that money. I am getting tired of making up stupid excuses for not having something to share. How can I get through to him?
Dear Claire,
I tdon't think there's going to be a way to get through to him. In his mind it's not about the weed; it's about controlling you. You said it: he thinks you should never smoke unless you're with him. Wow! What crazy rule is he going to lay down next? Does he refrain from getting high when you're not there? The fact that you're paying more than your fair share makes me think that you'd be better off without the drama and bullshit. Obviously, you can pay for smoke without relying on him. He sounds like a real buzzkill.
My girlfriend and I have been together for a couple of months now. I always look forward to getting home from work just to be with her. When we sit down and relax at the end of the day, or on the weekend, we always get high. This makes me extremely horny and I can't keep my hands off of her. She is so hot and I think about having sex with her all day. I guess I must have pissed her off. Now she doesn't want to sit down at the end of the day with me anymore and we haven't had sex in almost a week. We didn't have an argument or anything. I have no idea what I did wrong. I ask her what's the matter and she says nothing. Why are girls so moody like this? Can you help me out?
Dear Allen,
If she won't come out and tell you what's wrong, you're going to have to do some thinking. Think back to what happened just before you noticed that she was distancing herself from you. You've said that when you get high with her, you get very horny and that it's been almost a week since you've had sex. Maybe she doesn't get horny every time she gets high. Maybe she just wants to sit and get high without having sex. Since you haven't had sex in awhile, I'm guessing that she doesn't feel like it. Does this make sense to you? If it fits, great! If not, then you have no choice but to actually sit down and talk with her. Find out why she's changed her sexual behavior toward you. She might have a hard time coming out and saying why, but if you share a fatty, it should help.
Dear Hyapatia,
I like to watch sex films, then fuck – and so does my man. We watch them while we're doing it, but I have two problems. First, I've noticed that he's watching the movie while we're doing it more than he's looking at me. It didn't bother me at first, but after awhile I felt insulted, you know? Secondly, he wants me to do all the shit he sees in the movie. There's no way I'm doing some of that crap! I ain't no porn star and I don't want no dick up my ass! Why can't he just stop asking?
Dear K,
First off, I think you guys should turn off the TV before you start to do it. It's too distracting. You need to be concentrating on each other. If he doesn't want to do that, tell him you get distracted looking at all those good-looking guys with the really big dicks (as compared to his). That should do it. Secondly, explain that porn stars do many things one time for big bucks on camera. Explain that you're not a porno star but a normal woman. Also, tell him that you, like many other women, don't happen to be into anal sex.
Dear Hyapatia,
I read that back in the "golden age" of porn there were all kinds of drugs on the movie sets and in the casting rooms. What kind of drugs did you guys do? Was it just pot? Did you go to any wild parties or orgies with lots of coke or anything?
Dear Brian,
Oh yes! There were many parties. Plato's Retreat in New York City was a favorite party spot – and you could do anything in there. In L.A. we had parties at people's houses. In Vegas, it was in hotel rooms. Usually people smoked pot and did coke. Few guys did cocaine on the set because it's hard to get it up when you're high on coke. I remember one time on a set everyone was wearing their own microphones and we kinda forgot about them after awhile. But the sound man could still hear us all talking. He overheard a conversation about selling an 8-ball of coke. He motioned to the producer to come over and listen. After he listened for awhile, he got angry and marched into the dressing room and promptly fired the guys. He said he couldn't have two things that he could get arrested for going on in the same place. But, yes, there were a lot of drugs back in the day.

Vampire rats, witches, demons, shape-shifters, and ghosts make up the Tales From the Mist anthology just in time for Halloween. The only thing missing? Zombies. But not to worry, there's plenty to prickle the skin in this collection of chilling short stories.
Tales From the Mist is a horror anthology made up not only of North Texas authors but from authors around the world like Australia and Malta. Tales From the Mist includes eleven original short stories from some new authors in the horror genre and one reprint from best-selling author, Scott Nicholson, author of The Home and Fangs in Vain.
Fort Worth author Rhonda Hopkins coordinated the anthology and I asked her, "How did you get this project going?
Rhonda Hopkins said, "Since it had been my idea, I coordinated the whole thing. It was a challenge working with so many authors, but it was fun and I learned so much from each of them. They all had different experiences and knowledge to share. Even when we disagreed, everyone was very professional. And it all came together beautifully, I think."
I asked Rhonda how she got involved in these anthologies:
"I had written "The Consuming" several years ago and decided it was time to publish it. So I asked the members of the Writer's Guide to EPublishing (WG2E) Street Team if anyone was interested in doing a horror anthology. I was surprised by the number who did. I actually ended up re-writing "The Consuming" from scratch and adding about five thousand words. I think it's a much better story now."
How did you get the writers for your anthology?
"For this anthology, Tales From the Mist, we kept submissions within our group, except for Scott Nicholson who graciously allowed us to reprint "Wampus Cat." We had a core team that read all the entries and decided which ones to include. We worked very hard critiquing those and then had the authors resubmit. Then it all went to an editor.
How did you put it all together?
"Greg Carrico, Tamara Ward, Stacey Joy Netzel, and Catie Rhodes and I read all the submissions and critiqued the ones we decided to include. Meredith Bond did all the formatting and conversions for us. Cate Dean assisted with getting us a cover designer and editor. Marty Young, a Bram Stoker nominated and Australian Shadows award winning editor, ficiton, nd non-fiction author, Natalie G. Owens, *lizzie starr, and Mitzi Flyte all shared their knowledge and expertise. Overall, we had a really great group for our first project."
Rhonda, the cover is gorgeous, who did it?
Cover design by Christine Pope at Indie Author Services, and the cover art is by Kathy Gold at Dreamstime.
Now that you've completed Tales From the Mist, what's next?
"D. D. Scott, who began the WG2E, recently asked us to take over doing the anthologies she had been doing, so we'll be opening up submissions to everyone for future anthologies."
Who or what is WG2E?
WG2E Street Team is just a group of people who got to know each other through the WG2E website and created a group to support one another. The anthology team is made up of 7 of those members.
D. D. Scott is an Amazon and Barnes and Noble top 100 bestselling romantic comedy and humorous mystery author, as well as the co-founder of The Writer's Guide ot Epublishing and founder of The Reader's Guide to eEpublishing.
Rhonda continues,
"We just finished this one! LOL We're taking a break and then we'll start discussing what's next. We'll be developing guidelines based on what we learned from this experience. If anyone is interested in knowing more they can follow us on Facebook, and on our website Beach Book Blast.
We'll announce with submissions are open.
I'm personally working to finish Illusion of Safety, a romantic suspense that I hope to available within a few months."
You can find out more about Rhonda Hopkins and her books at http://rhondahopkins.com/my-books/
Released October 17, 2012, Tales from the Mist is a myriad of stories ripe with strong horror elements and powerful imagery.
The short story "King of Rats" by Greg Carrioco, a New York writer, will scuttle in your brain long after you read it.
"He's a rather despicable creature who'll do anything to stay in power over his pack of Alley Rats. He is vile and reprehensible in every conceivable way, and I hope you love him as much I do," says Greg Carrico on his website.
Rhonda Hopkins' short story, "The Consuming," "is the literary version of what films like Paranormal Activity tried to be," says author T. W. Brown, author of Dead: The Ugly Beginning.
The Tales From the Mist back cover blurb reads:
Tales From the Mist will take you on a journey into the dark world of the paranormal. These twelve stories vary in their degree of horror, yet all reach across the boundaries of their genres into the chilling realms of the macabre. Witches, ghosts, shape-shifters and vampire rats are some of the creatures that reign within these pages. Authors included are: Scott Nicholson, Rhonda Hopkins, Marty Young, Cate Dean, Tamara Ward, Meredith Bond, Catie Rhodes, Greg Carrico, Mitzi Flyte, Natalie G. Owens, *lizzie starr and Stacey Joy Netzel.
Tales From the Mist is the book to read with the lights on, unless you are brave, very, very brave.

Imagination, contemplation, interpretation, and a lot of nerve; these are just a few of the important ingredients that go toward the definition of artistic creativity. The ability to produce something new and different requires a myriad of skills, and sometimes with art, what appears to be haphazard is really the result of long and attentive consideration. Studies of highly creative individuals have shown that they are deep thinkers and flexible. With that in mind, very creative people will often change from one genre to another.
Throughout history many artists have shown themselves to be multi-faceted. Leonardo da Vinci was an inventor, painter, sculptor and musician. Michelangelo was a painter, sculptor, architect and poet. Both seemed to move from one challenge to another with the utmost of ease, always searching for new venues to serve their purpose while exercising their creativity. This pair of luminaries existed more than 500 years ago, so it is hard to know what really drove them. However, the point is this: Creative people must express themselves. Now, I would like to consider some other examples of creative genius who lived and worked closer to our time.
Antonio Rodolfo Quinn (1915-2001), was a very gifted individual. He was a painter before, during and after his time as an actor. Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, there is now a statue of him in the town square posed for all time as, "Zorba the Greek." During his acting career he won two Oscars for best supporting actor (1953 & 1957), and was also nominated for two other Oscars.
After winning an architectural contest as a young man, Anthony Quinn was privileged to apprentice under Frank Lloyd Wright for a while. Wright helped give his fledgling a foundation in art and also encouraged him to take acting lessons. Quinn's painting and sculpture, which has been exhibited in every part of the globe, is considered "Modern." However, he was always exploring different styles. While on location during the filming of his many movies, he was influenced by the art of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and, of course, the Americas.
Richard Bernard Skelton (1913-1997) was a gifted actor, comedian, painter, musician, and writer. Beginning his show career during the 1920's as a clown in a traveling circus, he graduated quickly through the venues of vaudeville, Broadway, radio, television and film.
Red Skelton approached his artwork with the same vigor as he did his acting. His paintings of whimsical, happy-faced clowns remind us of the comedy that he shared. These canvases now grace public and private collections all over the world. Known to only sleep a few hours a day, he was also a prolific writer credited with hundreds of short stories and thousands of musical compositions. Today, some original Red Skelton paintings are valued at $100,000 or more.
And then there is Jonathan Harshman Winters III (1925-2013), one of my personal favorites and the inspiration for this article. He was a marvelous comedian, actor, recording artist, author, and painter. His many different careers spanned across seven decades during which time he contributed much. His comedy and children's albums are classics earning a dozen Grammy nominations along the way. His appearances on ABC, NBC and CBS in hundreds of programs, episodes, shows and commercials always added a touch of magic.
Winters also spent a lot of his time drawing and painting as a way to relax. His demanding schedule always had him appearing here or there, so he relished his time alone. His art studio in Montecito was carved out nine feet below ground and only measured four foot square so as to not attract crowds. But somehow, he managed to crank out a lot of wonderful images in that small work space. A best selling book titled, "Hang-ups" is a great compilation of 50 or so Jonathan Winters paintings and what they meant to him. This gentle giant was the conscious of our country, the voice of Papa Smurf, a wonderful artist, and a reservoir of creative genus.

Anonymous hackers attack North Korea news website, Flickr account and Twitter feed
- From: AFP
- April 05, 2013
- Anonymous mocks Kim Jong-un in "Wanted" poster
- Evacuation plans in place for Aussies
- Anxious wait for South Koreans in North
- Latest: Spies reveal planned missile launch
- Nuke threat: Korea has OK to attack United States
ACTIVIST hackers appear to have infiltrated North Korea's official news website and its accompanying Twitter and Flickr feeds, posting unflattering images of leader Kim Jong-Un.
The China-based website of Uriminzokkiri, which distributes news and propaganda from the North's state media, was inaccessible and its companion feeds attacked and defaced.
On Twitter, the Uriminzokkiri account's profile photo was changed to one of a couple dancing the Tango, and a series of tweets read "Hacked" and "Tango Down".
The male dancer was wearing a Guy Fawkes mask -- a trademark of the "Anonymous" hacktivist group.
The website's Flickr page showed a number of images, including one which simply read "We Are Anonymous" and a mock-up "Wanted" poster featuring Kim with a pig's nose and ears and a Mickey Mouse tattoo on his chest. The poster claimed the UN had offered a $1 million reward for Kim's capture due to his "threatening world peace" and wasting money while people starve to death".
Uriminzokkiri is best known for posting propaganda videos excoriating the United States and including images like the White House framed in the crosshairs of a sniper's rifle sight.
The attack came amid soaring military tensions on the Korean peninsula with Pyongyang, Seoul and Washington engaged in a bout of high-stakes brinkmanship.
It also followed a major cyber attack that crashed the computer networks at South Korean TV broadcasters and banks last month and was widely blamed on North Korean hackers.

I'm sure these guys mean well, or believe they do, but I think it is pretty irresponsible to be poking this guy with a stick at the moment. He already has a bug up his a**, why push things? Does Anonymous actually think Kim Jong Un is going to read there posts and go "Oh, you know what? they were right...my bad" and back down?....

yeah..because the threat of NK using a nuclear strike isn't bad enough! I know I know, it is highly unlikely for those idiots to get a nuke to the US, but what about to Japan? Or South Korea? Millions could die, but nah lets provoke the idiotic, something to prove boofhead running the north!

Great Video!
To solve the problem of the little girl (and of all of us) it is vital, that more people think and speak about the truth behind the debt crisis.

Here's a fundamental way of reducing your debt. Stop wasting so much on building and deploying your military machine, interfering in other countries and their governments and basically keep your cocksucker noses out of other peoples' business.
Good thing we're not paying for it... let those lazy kids pay for some of the things for once. (j/k)

Author Henry E. Scott Dishes on 1950s Gossip Rag Confidential
One night in November 1954, Frank Sinatra and Joe DiMaggio, accompanied by two private detectives, busted down the door of a West Hollywood apartment, ready to confront its inhabitants. DiMaggio, recently divorced from Marilyn Monroe but still lovelorn and jealous, believed the actress was having an affair. It may have been true, but the Yankees star picked the wrong apartment; a woman named Florence Kotz Ross lived there, and she was terrified to see four men burst into her bedroom.
No charges were filed and the misadventure would have faded into memory were it not for the fact that one of the private detectives sold the story to Confidential, a lurid gossip rag that was the TMZ of its day. Printed in the September 1955 issue, the tale was classic Confidential: scandalous, embarrassing to its famous subjects and true.
Founded by a Runyon-esque New York publisher named Robert Harrison, Confidential existed just six years, from 1952 to 1958. But it gave the Hollywood community ulcers, outing closeted stars, detailing affairs and sullying the wholesome image the studios carefully created. In "Shocking True Story" (Pantheon), Henry E. Scott tracks the colorful magazine's rise and fall. Speakeasy talked to Scott about Confidential and how its brand of gossip measures up to today's version.
The Wall Street Journal: Were celebrities of the time scared of appearing in "Confidential?"
Henry Scott: Absolutely petrified. A big question was who is going to be outed next, in one scandal or another. Confidential had a habit of digging up a person's past. Tab Hunter was arrested at an all-male pajama party. Years later, when he's playing a tough Marine in "Battle Cry," Confidential runs a story about his arrest. People thought these were things they had buried in their past. I think in some ways Tab Hunter managed to get through it okay. I think Lizabeth Scott's career was hurt by this. They never came out and said she was a lesbian but when they print she "prefers the company of baritone babes," it makes the point.
How did the movie studios deal with Confidential?
For a long time, everyone hoped it would go away. The first step was to send somebody to negotiate with Harrison -– in effect, to buy him off. But he couldn't be bought off. They did put together a plot to leak a fake story that Harrison would print so they could sue him. But his niece wisely figured it out and it didn't get in the magazine.
It's interesting that Harrison couldn't be bought or wooed by Hollywood.
He was utterly unimpressed by the town. Hollywood was the sticks to him. He loved Broadway, show girls and flashy clothes. He knew nothing and cared about nothing but New York City. In some ways, Harrison was remarkably naive. He would savage someone and not understand why they were upset. He'd bump into Sammy Davis Jr. after Confidential wrote an article and think they were still pals. He didn't see that he was doing evil in the eyes of these people.
I was surprised to read the lengths Confidential went to ensure the stories it ran were accurate.
Harrison realized the way to make this magazine sell was to tell the truth. Harrison thought this was key to the magazine's reputation. His lawyer talked in great detail about their strategy to always print slightly less than they knew; that way, they could use the additional information as leverage if anyone ever tried to file a lawsuit. Once Confidential went under, many scandal sheets flourished but none were as rigorous with the facts.
Who read "Confidential?"
Harrison claimed it was largely women. A lot of people wanted to believe it was relatively uneducated people. Nobody wanted to be seen reading it. There were stories of people reading The Atlantic with a copy of Confidential tucked inside.
How does Confidential compare to the modern gossip industry, like TMZ and US Weekly?
Things have obviously changed in that everything is instant. The Internet has oddly reduced the level of gossip. There are many more minor incidents that get blown up. Somebody driving drunk or running over a hydrant becomes newsworthy. In the old days, it kind of took more to get someone's attention.
Does Confidential seem tame now?
I think Confidential is tame, compared to today. I wonder what Harrison would do today. Most of the things he outed people on –- dating someone of another race, having a relationship with someone other than your spouse -– aren't so much scandals now. The homosexual thing can be a scandal for male performers. But the consequences were much greater in the Confidential era. Today, a bit of scandal elevates you and makes you seem interesting.

Coastwatch Worm's Head
Welcome to NCI - Worm's Head, Gower
The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) is a voluntary organisation set up in 1994 to restore a visual watch along UK shores after many small Coastguard stations closed due to Government cutbacks. In March 2005 NCI Headquarters was told that there was a possibility that the old coastguard station at Worm's Head might become available to lease. And that is how Coastwatch Worm's Head started.

The 9 Most Romantic Hairstyles of All Time
Our favorite soft and seductive styles—made easy.
1. Starting about two inches from your scalp, lightly tease just your roots with a fine-tooth comb, using broad strokes to avoid compacting the hair too tightly. This will help prevent the bun from slipping out. (Skip this step if your hair is curly.)
2. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and make a low, loose ponytail, securing it with an elastic placed about a half-inch away from your scalp.
3. Tease the underside of the ponytail, then casually wind it into a bun. Use ridged, U-shape hairpins to anchor it, sticking one in each side of the knot and one at the bottom.

While your child might be able to climb up stairs, this doesn't mean he can manage coming down them safely. It might be safer to encourage him to come down backwards on his hands and knees before you teach him to walk down while holding the handrails.
Stairways of more than three steps should be guarded. Some flights of stairs might need barriers at both the top and bottom.
To keep your child safe, door barriers should be:
The barrier shouldn't provide foot holds for climbing – for example, a wooden lattice used for gardens wouldn't be a safe choice, as young children might be able to use it to climb over the top. And if making a hinged gate, don't use horizontal bars.
It's also a good idea to remove any nearby objects your child could stand on to help her get over the gate.
There are many types of barriers available, with lots of different widths and heights. There are also removable gates, pressure-mounted gates and screwed wall-mounted gates. A wall-mounted gate is a good, secure way to block off high-risk areas like stairs – they can be screwed to a solid wall or post, or can be made to form angles to cover odd-shaped areas.
Try to avoid stepping over any safety gates or barriers while carrying your baby. It's dangerous, and also sets a poor example for other children, who might try to copy you.
Like many other baby products, most safety gates have some safety issues.
In past tests, CHOICE has tested according to the British standard for safety gates and barriers, as there's no Australian standard. The main hazards found when testing are:

Florida returns to action Friday at 2 p.m. CDT against the winner of Thursday's Tennessee-Auburn game.

Los Angeles prides itself on its eco-friendliness. Some of its celebrities are noted as much for their planet-saving efforts as they are for their movie careers, and grocery store clerks assiduously enforce the city's ban on plastic bags.
But, despite its environmentally-protective intentions, LA is a high-wattage, energy-depleting city. It's a town that thrives on attention and many businesses compete for their share by adorning their facades with brilliant light displays or their landscapes with cascading fountains.
Alternative Art Saves Energy and Money
If you're an energy-conscious Los Angeles business owner who wants to put your store, health center, entertainment complex or other enterprise in the spotlight without depleting natural resources or incurring exorbitant utility expenses, there's an alternative you may not have considered:
Outdoor kinetic sculptures.
If you think of sculptures as unmoving pieces of metal or marble, think again. Wind-powered kinetic sculptures are in near-constant motion, creating a limitless number of designs. They dazzle without cost to the environment or expense to business owners. And electricity is expensive in Los Angeles -- more than 60 percent higher than the national average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Sculptures Dance in the Wind
Jeff Kahn, a kinetic sculptor, says his creations consume no energy and actually serve as a natural fan. Composed of stainless steel, aluminum and titanium, the sculptures' artistic appendages propel gentle breezes and can withstand Santa Ana winds and heavy rain storms.
And they provide endless visual theatrics, dancing in myriad designs as directed by wind currents. Kahn's current kinetic sculpture collection, titled "Unseen Forces," includes 30-foot-high pieces that could turn any Los Angeles business into a dramatic landmark.
The sculptures include more than 100 parts, which provide unlimited movement and make these works of art easy to ship to LA from Kahn's studio in rural Pennsylvania.
"It takes months to create these kinetic sculptures, but any decent handyman could assemble one on a Saturday afternoon," says Kahn. Kahn adds that he's so confident of the construction and durability of his sculptures that he backs them with a lifetime guarantee.
Kinetic Sculptures Challenge the Law of Gravity
Kahn's kinetic sculptures are the culmination of a multi-faceted career as a jewelry designer, furniture maker and machinist. He also built a house on a 20-foot cliff, which inspired him to create art that "explores balance and gravity and the way wind currents interact with them." Gravity naturally makes things fall down. Kahn was inspired to find a way to use gravity to make things stay up.
Kahn's work has been commissioned by iconic denim designer Gloria Vanderbilt and American broadcast journalist Forrest Sawyer and exhibited in the Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The New York Botanical Garden and the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

Prep Baseball Fab 5: DeLand takes over top spot in rankings
Published: Monday, April 28, 2014 at 1:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 28, 2014 at 1:15 p.m.
DeLand has been the Volusia/Flagler area's most talented and most mercurial team this season.
But on the field in Sanford last week, just moments after shutting down Spruce Creek to earn his team a berth in the District 2-8A title game, Bulldogs pitcher Josh Dye said he believed everything was coming together.
"It is awesome," Dye said. "We are really starting to bond right now."
The Bulldogs lost to Oviedo Hagerty in the district title game, but there is no shame in that. On the road to that game, DeLand flashed its talent and showed some consistency. That helped them climb to the top spot in this week's Fab 5 rankings and, if they keep it up in the playoffs, it could take them a long way.
Below is a look at how the top teams in the Volusia/Flagler area rank:
1. DeLand (17-10)
The buzz: The roster is loaded with college-bound players and that showed in the district tournament. Don't be shocked if the Bulldogs make a run in the playoffs.
Last week: 3
2. Spruce Creek (20-7)
The buzz: The Hawks spent a good portion of the season atop the rankings, but a District 2-8A tournament loss to DeLand knocked them from that spot and out of the playoffs.
Last week: 1
3. University (18-8)
The buzz: Like Spruce Creek, the Titans won't get a shot at the playoffs, but that should not take away from what was a great season filled with big wins.
Last week: 2
4. Seabreeze (14-12)
The buzz: The Sandcrabs have been streaky this year, but, now, they are on a hot streak at the right time. A 14-4 win in the District 5-6A game earned them a home playoff game.
Last week: 4
5. Taylor (15-9)
The buzz: The Wildcats have Tanner Campbell and a home playoff game, and that means they have an excellent opportunity to move up in the rankings.
Last week: 5

On Sunday morning, Rep. Tom Marino, (R-PA), posted a YouTube video of his interview on Fox News' "Fox and Friends," during which he described how former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accosted him on the House floor Friday, saying she called him "a liar, a liar" and twice dubbed him as "insignificant."
"In an unusual breach of decorum, even for the divided Congress," John Parkinson and Chris Good reported for ABC News Friday, "House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi chased Rep. Tom Marino across the House floor, taking offense at comments by the Pennsylvania Republican during debate on the border funding bill Friday night."
As Fox News reported Sept. 9, 2009, House Democrats demanded that Tom Wilson, (R-SC), "apologize or face censure" after he shouted "you lie" during President Barack Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress in the House chamber.
"You know something that I find quite interesting about the other side?" the Pennsylvania Republican congressman asked as he concluded his comments on the border supplemental. "Under the leadership of the former Speaker [Pelosi], and under the leadership of their former leader [Rep. Steny Hoyer], when in 2009 and 2010, they had the House, the Senate and the White House, and they knew this problem existed."
"They didn't have the strength to go after it back then," Marino added. "But now are trying to make a political issue out of it now."
"Off-mic," Parkinson and Good described how Pelosi "then approached Marino, crossing the aisle in view of cameras, and apparently challenged Marino's assertion that Democrats did not do anything about the issue when they had majority control."
"Yes it is true," Marino told Pelosi. "I did the research on it. You might want to try it. You might want to try it, Madam Leader. Do the research on it. Do the research. I did it. That's one thing that you don't do."
"Apparently," Marino surmised of Pelosi's response to his comments, "I hit the right nerve."
"After Marino concluded his remarks, and as many Republicans applauded their colleague," Parkinson and Good described how "Pelosi crossed the chamber again in view of cameras, enraged, pointing and sticking her finger at Marino."
She then chased Marino up a Republican aisle, "gesturing and arguing with him," relenting only "after Republicans tried to get between Pelosi and Marino.
After Pelosi returned to the Democratic side of the chamber, the House "promptly voted to approve the $694 million border supplemental, 223-189."
"According to Pelosi spokeswoman Evangeline George," Parkinson and Good added in an update, "Leader Pelosi just wanted to remind the Congressman that House Democrats had the courage to pass the DREAM Act – and have the courage to stand up for what the American people want: bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform."
However, at the time House Democrats passed the DREAM Act, it was not "what the American people wanted."
As Politico reported Nov. 10, 2010, Pelosi ignored the "risk" of "appearing out of sync with voters -- "who sent a message during the midterm election that they want lawmakers to focus on job creation" and pushed for a vote on the DREAM Act "during the lame-duck session."
A November 22, 2010 poll conducted by Pulse Opinion Research on behalf of the Federation for American Immigration Reform showed that – while 54 percent of voters opposed the DREAM Act – 59 percent opposed using a lame duck Congress to pass it, saying they should focus on economic issues rather than social policies.
Still, in a Dec. 8, 2010 post on her Democratic Leader website, Pelosi touted the passage of the DREAM Act by the Democrat-controlled House by a vote of 216 to 198.
As Deseret News reported Dec. 18, 2010, the Dream Act was defeated in the Democrat-controlled Senate by a vote of 55-41, falling five votes short of the 60 needed to break through "largely GOP opposition and win its enactment" before Republicans would take over the House and narrow the Democrat's majority in the Senate the following month.
A March 16-20 Siena College poll showed that 56 percent of voters in New York opposed a state version of the DREAM Act, which failed in the New York Senate.
On Nov. 28, 2011, The Daily Caller reported that a poll conducted by the University of Southern California's Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the Los Angeles Times showed that 55 percent of registered voters in California -- Pelosi's home state -- opposed the state's DREAM Act, which was signed into law" the previous month.
Following Friday's vote, Pelosi tweeted that the House GOP "has reached a new low with votes to deport DREAMers and unaccompanied children escaping violence" and called the vote "unconscionable."
The "bill-says u aren't welcome," Pelosi said in a tweet directed at "DREAMers," adding that "this is a call 2 action" to "hold them accountable."
"It's time to stop catering to most radical voices of the GOP & address #BorderCrisis in thoughtful & compassionate manner," Pelosi added in a tweet directed at Republican House Speaker John Boehner.
However, as CNN reported Thursday, "the current crisis on the nation's southern border appears to be fueling a notable shift in American attitudes toward immigration policy with border security growing in importance."
While 54 percent of Americans supported the idea of legal status for illegal immigrants in February, and only 41 percent preferred tighter border security, Thursday's CNN/ORC International poll showed that 51 percent of Americans now prefer tighter border security and only 45 percent favor providing illegal immigrants with legal status.
The Washington Examiner reported Monday, a July 19-21 YouGov poll showed that "a huge majority of Americans, 81 percent, believe the new immigration crisis of unaccompanied children streaming over the U.S.-Mexico border is serious, and almost as many want them gone."
Parkinson and Good also noted in the updated ABC News report that Pelosi's spokeswoman said the angered former House Speaker had "accepted" Marino's "apology." However, Marino's chief of staff, Bill Tighe, insisted in an email that Marino "did not apologize to Leader Pelosi and does not intend to do so as he has nothing to apologize for."
"She was entirely out of line in approaching him while he was recognized and delivering remarks on the Floor," Tighe wrote. "Her staff's comment in your story about her accepting his apology in simply not true."

Cathy Songb. 1955
Cathy Song's poetry vividly evokes the flora and fauna of her native Hawaii while meditating on her identity as an Asian woman. (The title poem of Picture Bride (1983) tells the story of her grandmother, brought to the islands from Korea as a "mail-order" spouse; the theme of family relations recurs in her work.) She has also written poems inspired by the artists Georgia O'Keeffe and Kitagawa Utamaro; her fine eye for the telling detail and her own relative invisibility in her poems recall Elizabeth Bishop.

heres the link to the old wiki if anyone wants
some pictures might be missing but all the datas there
Sir you are amazing
I love how one of these threads appears daily. THE LINK IS IN MY SIG PEOPLE. DON'T CLUTTER UP THE FORUMS.
I was the first one to post this, few people cared then, few people care now.
I made it into MAFIA, dad. Are you finally proud of me?
I'm really considering making a whole bunch of threads linking to eachother to remake the wiki on this site. Maybe Kabam can add a "Wiki" subforum (Realm of the Mad God is the forum, General Discussion is a subforum), and add a sub-subforum (you can do that, Kabam has done it with their other game-forums) dividing the wiki into the catagories similar to how it was on wildshadow forums.
Such as:
Not knowing if Battle of the Nexus deaths count as character deaths.
Not knowing anything about the new content (The Epic Dungeons)
Seeing SwatSec as a god/good guy. (...why people somehow think this beats me)
I completely relied on the wiki when starting off in this game. It's necessary to have it revived.
Last edited by INotJustin; 11-04-2013 at 05:50 PM.
sorry guys i didn't see the ones before so i made one to try and help others out
if someone could sticky this then the need to make new threads will be eliminated
Thanks for the link! this should be a sticky!!!!

Juice cleanses for kids? According to an ABC News report on April 3, this alarming, growing trend, has doctors questioning the health benefits of juice cleanses for kids.
"This trend is outrageous and a real concern," said Keith Ayoob, associate clinical professor of pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. "Kids don't need a cleanse, they need good food. A cleanse usually means they're also excluding necessary food groups and nutrients."
The New York Post reported this week that "cherub-cheeked" kids, were "reaching for their mommies" green-and-purple juices.
Sandra Davella told the Post, "I have to buy extra because I know she's going to take it. … She's not a French fry kid," when speaking about her 6-year-old daughter, Sophia, who "drags a footstool alongside the fridge" to reach her favorite drink off a high shelf.
Davella continued, "I get upset – they're expensive, up to $80.00 a day, said the 44-year-old banker, who also said her daughter will sometimes drink up to three juices a day.
The problem seems to be when parents are replacing healthy snacks or sometimes meals with these juices, and protein drinks.
What Ayoob wants parents to know about this trend is, "The digestive tract already is a juicer – it just works more slowly. But that's fine and how it was meant to work. Besides, everyone – kids included – needs fiber and eating whole fruits and vegetables will give you that fullness and fiber, along with nutrients that won't necessarily make it into the juice."
Dr. David Katz, founder of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center and editor of the Childhood Obesity Journal, was a little more outspoken in his reaction to this growing trend, "Come on, seriously? A combination of pecuniary exploitation and stupidity – I think that's all there is to say on the matter."
For now, the debate will continue as ABC's Good Morning America posed the question, "Cleanses for kids, do they send a bad message? Where do you stand on juicing and cleansing for kids?

Background and Aim: To diagnose coeliac disease (CD) in children younger than 2 years, the old ESPGHAN criteria based on 3 small bowel biopsies were recommended until recently. The aim of the present study was to investigate the applicability of only 1 small intestinal biopsy plus positive serology for the diagnosis of CD in children younger than 2 years.
Methods: A prospective cohort study included 81 patients younger than 2 years with symptoms suggestive of CD, who all completed the diagnostic procedure based on 3 small bowel biopsies. According to the finding of the third biopsy, patients were divided into group A—CD confirmed (N = 44), and group B—CD not confirmed, after the gluten challenge (N = 37).
Results: At the time of the first biopsy, total villous atrophy (Marsh IIIc) was found more often in group A than in group B (77% vs 27%, P < 0.01). Also, all of the studied antibodies were more frequently positive in group A than in group B (P < 0.01 for all of the tested antibodies). Positive anti-endomysial antibodies and Marsh IIIc finding were the best discriminators between the group A and the group B and considerably contributed to the prediction of CD.
Conclusions: The second and the third biopsies (before and after the gluten challenge) may also be avoided when diagnosing CD in children younger than 2 years provided that the child, at the time of presentation, has positive anti-endomysial antibodies and Marsh IIIc on the small bowel biopsy. A gluten challenge should be still considered in all other children younger than 2 years.
Coeliac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated systemic disorder elicited by gluten and related prolamines in genetically susceptible individuals. It is characterised by the presence of a variable combination of gluten-dependent clinical manifestations, CD-specific antibodies, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2 or -DQ8 haplotypes and enteropathy (1). The ingestion of gluten, a constituent of wheat, barley, and rye, in these susceptible individuals causes morphologic changes in small intestinal mucosa characterised by villous atrophy, leading ultimately to malabsorption (2,3). Population studies have shown that CD is affecting 0.5% to 1% of general population, although the majority of affected individuals are still undiagnosed (4). Early diagnosis and strict gluten-free diet (GFD) act protectively against complications and decrease mortality rates in patients with CD, and therefore, making a definitive diagnosis of CD is of great importance (5,6).
The first diagnostic criteria for CD in children were proposed by the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) in 1969. According to these original criteria, the diagnosis of CD was made upon the sequence of 3 biopsies if there were structurally abnormal jejunal mucosa when taking a diet containing gluten; clear improvement of villous structure when taking a GFD; deterioration of the mucosa during the gluten challenge (7). This sequence of small bowel biopsies was meant to help differentiate CD from other transient causes of abnormal small intestinal mucosa. In 1990, ESPGHAN revised the original diagnostic criteria to omit the second and the third biopsies for children younger than 2 years at the time of the first biopsy. According to these, the diagnosis of CD is based on the typical histological finding of hyperplastic villous atrophy while the patient is eating adequate amounts of gluten; and unequivocal and full clinical remission after withdrawal of gluten from the diet (8); however, the gluten challenge was still recommended: when there were doubts about the initial diagnosis (eg, initial biopsy not performed, the biopsy specimen inadequate or uncharacteristic, lack of clinical response on GFD) (8,9). Also, in children younger than 2 years at presentation (as they can have enteropathy because of other causes such as cow's-milk–sensitive enteropathy, postenteritic syndrome, and giardiasis), a gluten challenge was advised, preceded, and followed by a small bowel biopsy (8,10); however, the new, just recently published, ESPGHAN guidelines for the diagnosis of CD state that in the presence of high antibody levels the diagnosis of CD may be based on a combination of symptoms, antibodies, and HLA, thus omitting the duodenal biopsy. The diagnosis is confirmed by an antibody decline and preferably a clinical response to a GFD, whereas gluten challenge and repetitive biopsies are only necessary in selected, unclear cases (1).
Conversely, children younger than 2 years represent a diagnostic problem and original protocol based on 3 biopsies is long-lasting, invasive, and particularly demanding for the patients and health care system in general. In Croatia, unlike the most western countries, a considerable proportion of paediatric patients with CD still presents with classic symptoms before the age of 2 years (11). That provided us with the opportunity to investigate the applicability of just 1 small intestinal biopsy and positive serology for the diagnosis of CD in children younger than 2 years and that was the aim of the present study.
This is a prospective cohort study carried out at the Children's Hospital Zagreb. All of the consecutive patients younger than 2 years (N = 173) investigated for CD at our department during the period from 1995 to 2005 who underwent small bowel biopsy and had at least Marsh I type lesion were prospectively recruited into the study, following the same protocol (Fig. 1). Seventeen children did not reach 6 years of age before the end observational period and therefore were not challenged with gluten. Of the remaining 156 patients, during the observational period, 81 patients fulfilled the old ESPGHAN criteria based on 3 biopsies. The reasons for not performing 3 biopsies in other patients are presented in Figure 1.
According to the finding of the third small bowel biopsy, patients were divided into 2 groups: group A—patients in whom CD was confirmed after the gluten challenge, and group B—patients in whom CD was not confirmed after at least 6 months of gluten challenge.
Biopsies were performed with either Crosby's suction capsule or during the endoscopy. All of the biopsy specimens were analysed by 1 of 2 pathologists and were classified according to Marsh-Oberhuber criteria (type I–IV) (12).
All of the serologic tests were performed at the same laboratory under the supervision of 1 person. Serum anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA IgA and IgG) were determined quantitatively by fluoro-enzyme-immuno method using the kit from Eurospital, Trieste, Italy. The results are expressed as indexes and for AGA IgA, values >7 were considered positive, while for AGA IgG positive were values >15. Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA of IgA class) were detected by the method of indirect fluorescence using sections of distal monkey oesophagus ("Antiendomysium test," Eurospital, Trieste, Italy) (13).
HLA DQ alleles encoding HLA-DQ2 and -DQ8 were investigated at the Tissue Typing Laboratory of the University Centre Zagreb. Patients were typed for HLA class II alleles by a high-resolution polymerase chain reaction sequence–specific oligonucleotide probes method (14).
Quantitative data were expressed as medians and ranges or means and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Statistical differences between study groups were evaluated using Student t test and χ2 test, as appropriate. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were created to determine the diagnostic value of observed diagnostic methods (small intestinal biopsy finding and serologic tests) and to determine optimal threshold values. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to investigate observed diagnostic tests in combination, and a stepwise method was used to find the best test combination.
The study was approved by the ethical committee of the University of Zagreb School of Medicine, as well as by the ethical committee at our hospital. Informed consent was obtained for all of the patients included in the study.
In total, 81 patients younger than 2 years who fulfilled the old ESPGHAN criteria based on 3 small intestinal biopsies were included in this prospective study (Fig. 1). The diagnosis of CD was confirmed by the biopsy finding after the gluten challenge in 44 patients (group A), whereas in 37 patients who had normal small bowel biopsy finding after the gluten challenge, CD was not confirmed (group B).
In group A, there were 14 boys (32%) and 30 girls (68%) of mean age 12.8 months (range 6–24 months), whereas in group B, there were 15 boys (40%) and 22 girls (55%) of mean age 13.6 months (range 6–23 months). Groups did not differ in regard to sex and age.
Most common presenting symptom in group A was failure to thrive (in 93% of children) followed by diarrhoea (79%), abdominal distension (72%), anaemia (54%), vomiting (39%), and abdominal pain (11%). In group B, 76% of children presented with failure to thrive, whereas diarrhoea was present in 68%, abdominal distension in 54%, anaemia in 43%, vomiting in 22%, and abdominal pain in 19% of children (Fig. 2). Groups A and B did not differ in regard to any presenting symptom except for the failure to thrive, which was more common in patients with finally proven CD (group A), P < 0.05.
Concerning serology, all of the children from group A were positive for AGA IgG, whereas 93% were positive for IgA AGA and 85% for EMA. In group B, 59% of children were positive for AGA IgG, 26% for AGA IgA, and 16% for EMA (Fig. 3). When compared, all of the studied antibodies were significantly more frequently positive in group A than in group B (P < 0.01 for all tested antibodies). Six patients from group A (with confirmed CD) were EMA negative, 1 patient had IgA deficiency and was only AGA IgG positive. The remaining 5 children (age 9–17 months) were IgA competent and all had both IgA- and IgG AGA-positive antibodies. Specificity and sensitivity of tested antibodies at manufacturer cutoff values are presented in Table 1.
At the time of the first biopsy, 84% of children with confirmed CD had villous atrophy (Marsh IIIa-c) that was significantly more common in group A than in group B (84% vs 59% P = 0.01). The same was true for total villous atrophy (Marsh IIIc 77% vs 27%, P < 0.01). Marsh I and II type of lesions were, however, more common in patients of group B (5% and 11% vs 11% and 30%, respectively) (Fig. 4).
Of those 10 patients from group B who had Marsh IIIc lesion on the small intestinal biopsy, 4 patients were also EMA positive; however, all 4 of them after the gluten challenge that lasted from 10 months to 5 years had normal small bowel biopsy. Because they also have HLA status compatible with CD, they are followed up as possible late relapsers.
Results of logistic regression analysis are presented in Table 2. Tests with good discriminatory power show a combination of a high odds ratio together with a low P value (ie, a significant difference between the groups). With the diagnosis of CD being a dependent variable, it was shown that EMA and AGA IgG were the tests that best differentiated between the group A and the group B. If AGA were excluded from the analysis (because AGA is not recommended anymore in the detection of CD) (1), variables that considerably contributed to the prediction of CD were EMA and the Marsh IIIc biopsy finding. Furthermore, if the final diagnosis was based only on the Marsh IIIc finding of the first small bowel biopsy and positive EMA (instead of 3 biopsies), the diagnosis of CD would be correct in 83.95% of our patients and this approach would not result in any patient with CD being missed.
In the present study, carried out to evaluate the possibility of simplifying the diagnostic algorithm for CD in children younger than 2 years, we showed that the CD can be diagnosed based on only 1 small bowel biopsy obtained at presentation, provided that there is a histology finding of Marsh IIIc and that EMA is positive.
Until recently, to diagnose CD in children younger than 2 years, the old ESPGHAN criteria of 3 biopsies were recommended. This was justified with some other conditions, causing in this age group similar histological changes, and presenting with similar clinical picture (8,10,15). Whether such an invasive and long-lasting procedure is truly required was explored in several studies (4,15–23). Based on the results obtained, the new ESPGHAN guidelines for the diagnosis of CD in children and adolescents were recently published. According to these, in case of extremely high tissue transglutaminase antibody (anti-TG2) titres, there is an option to diagnose CD without duodenal biopsies, but by applying a strict protocol with further laboratory tests (1); however, the gluten challenge with pre- and post-challenge biopsies is indicated in cases when there is a doubt about the diagnosis, when the first biopsy was not performed, or the biopsy specimen was not sufficient for the analysis (1,24,25).
Even before the publication of the new ESPGHAN criteria, many centres did not adhere to the 3-biopsy protocol in children younger than 2 years (26–28). For example, in Sweden, only 27% of paediatric clinics use the recommended 3 biopsies procedure (10), whereas in Italy, >80% of centres do not perform gluten challenge in children younger than 2 years (27). Even in our study, a considerable proportion of patients younger than 2 years who had symptoms suggestive of CD (48%) did not complete the whole 3-biopsy procedure; however, in 81 patients younger than 2 years at disease presentation, who completed the study, the diagnosis of CD could have been correctly established at the time of the first biopsy in 84% of them, provided that the result of the biopsy was Marsh IIIc, and that EMA was positive. Thus, 29 children (66%) from the group A could have been spared from the second and the third biopsies. Therefore, we propose that gluten challenge with pre- and postchallenge biopsies is necessary in patients with Marsh I-IIIb histology finding and/or EMA negative, both taken at the time of disease presentation. This approach would not result in any patient with CD being missed. Similarly was shown in a study done by Wolters et al (28) (although that was a retrospective study and on a smaller proportion of patients who did not relapse after the gluten challenge) who suggested that routine gluten challenge in young children is not necessary when patients have villous atrophy in combination with positive EMA; however, for more detailed discussion and for further follow-up are 4 children from the group B, who would have also got the diagnosis of CD, although their third biopsy was negative. Whether they would be falsely diagnosed or they will ultimately present as late relapsers is the question that can be answered only after a long-term follow-up.
Serology plays an important role in diagnosing CD and distinguishing villous atrophy caused by CD from other conditions. Paediatric studies have shown the specificity of EMA to be nearly 100%, with a sensitivity ranging from 90% to 100% (9,29). IgA anti-TG2 has also a high sensitivity and specificity of 90% to 99%, but because of false-positives in up to 10% of cases, its positivity must be confirmed by EMA (29–32); however, despite being a highly sensitive and specific markers of CD, both EMA and anti-TG2 alone are not good markers in younger children (<2 years) (30,33). Burgin-Wolf et al (34) reported in children younger than than 2 years of age that the specificity of EMA was 98%, but the sensitivity was significantly lower than in older children (80% vs 97%, P < 0.008). This low sensitivity of EMA was also confirmed in our patients (84%), whereas specificity was also 84%. On the contrary, some authors did not observe any lack of antibody sensitivity in this age group (20,35,36). It seems that IgG antibodies against deamidated forms of gliadin peptides is a good tool for identifying CD in children younger than 2 years and in patients with IgA deficiency (1,33). Unfortunately, at the beginning of our study, we could not determine either anti-TG2 or deamidated forms of gliadin peptides. Instead, we used AGA, and there is some evidence that its sensitivity may be higher in children younger than 2 years in comparison with EMA and anti-TG2 tests (1,29,37); however, the new guidelines stated that the specificity of AGA tests is extremely low in this age group, making it not helpful for clinical practice (1,38,39). In our study, the sensitivity of AGA IgA was 92% and of AGA IgG 100%, whereas the specificity was extremely low (AGA IgA 59% and AGA IgG 36%). Even higher sensitivity of IgA was shown in the Lagerqvist et al (37) study on children younger than 18 months (97%) being also more sensitive than IgA anti-TG2 and IgA EMA (both 83%, P < 0.0001). Moreover, as many as 17% of the children with CD in this age group would have remained undiagnosed if anti-TG2 IgA was used alone.
Furthermore, patients with intermediate histopathologic changes, including partial villous atrophy, are occasionally anti-TG2 and/or EMA negative and the question is whether those really suffer from CD (18,40,41). In our study, 2 patients had mucosal lesions other than IIIc (one had Marsh I and the other Marsh II) and were EMA negative (although both were AGA positive), but after the gluten challenge, CD was confirmed. Therefore, if intermediate histopathologic mucosal changes are found even in children negative for CD-specific antibodies (but younger than 2 years and HLA-DQ2 or -DQ8-positive), later gluten challenge should be performed to confirm CD as a cause of the enteropathy.
We are aware of the several limitations to our study: there was a high dropout (48% of our patients younger than 2 years did not complete the whole procedure of 3 biopsies); at the time of the first biopsy, anti-TG2 and/or DGP could not have been performed; and the possibility that some of the patients from group B will be late relapsers cannot be excluded.
Despite these limitations, this is a unique prospective study that comprised children younger than 2 years who completed the classic diagnostic procedure of 3 biopsies, providing us with the opportunity to draw valid conclusion that the second and the third biopsies (before and after the gluten challenge) may be avoided in children younger than 2 years provided that the child, at disease presentation, has positive EMA and Marsh IIIc on the small bowel biopsy.

Corporation Bank Golf Tournament held at Pilikula Golf Club, Mangalore on February 23 - 2013
Pilikula Golf Club
Pilikula Golf Club situated at Moodushedde about 12 kilometers from Mangalore. It is the first golf club in Mangalore and Coastal Karnataka. This sprawling course is spread across 60 acres of land. The 18 Hole Golf course is a facility that allows Members and Tourists to tee off amidst the undulating greens. The golf course has been designed making best use of natural terrain and topography, which incorporates narrow and challenging fairways.
