"This comes as no surprise when one considers all the research that has been done with fat stem cells. When a mainstream periodical such as "Time" magazine considers something as one of the fifty best inventions of the year that says something…" — Dr. Joseph Purita
"Fat is finally making it to the big time. The only thing I would question is the fact of naming fat stem cells as one of the best inventions of 2011. Fat stem cells have been used for many years now with excellent and safe results. Perhaps we should say that fat stem cells finally have been recognized for their potential. Just a few weeks ago there was news about fat stem cells being used to regenerate heart muscle in heart attack victims with good results. This is just one of many different examples where fat stem cells cause repair.
Why all the fuss about fat stem cells? If we analyze fat we realize that it is a gold mine of mesenchymal stem cells.
These are typically the most important cells that accomplish repair to bone, tendon, cartilage, and muscle. These are the four structures we are very much involved with in the repair of orthopaedic problems. Even if you have conventional surgery you are depending upon stem cells to finalize the repair. These stem cells from fat are initially derived from bone marrow stem cells and thus they act very similar to bone marrow stem cells. The fat cells are harvested the same day as they are used and thus they do not lose their potency.
The main reason why the fat stem cells are so important is the sheer number of stem cells that are contained in fat tissue. As we age, the number of mesenchymal stem cells diminishes dramatically in our bone marrow. In the meantime the treasure trove of mesenchymal stem cells stays relatively constant in our fat tissue. By no means do I mean to reduce the importance of bone marrow since it contains large numbers of other type of cells we need in addition to all the growth factors that are found in stem cells. When we use bone marrow aspirate (the liquid that is removed from the bone marrow ) and combine it with fat and the stem cells that fat contains we have a cocktail that can do some excellent repair work.
My final thought about the "Time" article is that I don't consider fat stem cells as an invention. An invention is something that is created. Fat stem cells have been there all along. They were discovered. It just might turn out that at least in medicine, fat stem cells might be one of the most important discoveries of all time. The potential is there, we just need to learn the tricks of harnessing it."
Taken from "Stem Cell Orthopaedic Blog | PRP Therapy | Dr. Joseph Purita: FAT STEM CELLS",
Dr. Purita's blog on The Institute of Regenerative & Molecular Orthopaedics.
Dr. Joseph Purita is a pioneer in the use of the laser in orthopedic surgery. He graduated from Georgetown University Medical School and served his surgical internship at the University of Florida Medical Center. Following completion of a residency in orthopedic surgery at University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he served as chief administrative resident, Dr. Purita joined the Boca Raton Orthopedic Group in 1981.
Dr. Purita is a member of many professional organizations including:
He is Board Certified by the following organizations:
Dr. Purita is an instructor and proctor of surgeons in the use of lasers in arthroscopic and orthopedic surgery at a variety of hospitals. He spoke at the "Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine World Congress" in California in January, 2011 with a lecture on "Stem Cells and PRP Injections". He also spoke twice at the April, 2011 "World Congress on Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine Congress" in Mexico on "The Use of Supplements and Their Effects on Stem Cells and PRP Injections" and on "Stem Cells and PRP Injections". In August 2012, he spoke about "The Use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cell (both Bone Marrow and Fat) Injections in an Office Setting" at The 6th Annual Anti-Aging & Aesthetic Medicine Conference "Integrative Health & Longevity" in Melbourne, Australia.

Global climate change poses one of the nations most significant long-term policy challenges. While the potential damage from climate change is large, the potential cost of avoiding it is also large. Policymakers could help minimize that cost by using either a tax, or a well-designed cap and trade program, to motivate reductions in emissions. As many analysts have noted however, either a tax or a cap would cause prices of goods and services to increase, with larger increases for goods that entail greater emissions, such as home heating. Those price increases are essential to the success of the program, but they wouldrepresent a larger share of income forlower-income households thanfor higher-income households. Terry Dinan of our Microeconomic Studies Division discussed CBO's analysis ofthe distributional consequences of cap-and-trade programs for CO2 emissionsyesterday in a testimonybefore theWays and Means Subcommitteeon Income Security and Family Support.

National Telework Week is March 4-8
Third Annual Event Hosted by the Mobile Work Exchange
A recent report from the Texas Transportation Institute found that commuters waste more than five billion hours in traffic congestion every year. Teleworking can increase not only productivity and work output, but also office morale. The third annual Telework Week encourages government agencies, businesses, and individuals across the globe to pledge to telework from March 4 to 8.
This event also supports Gov. Bob McDonnell's Government Reform and Restructuring Commission's recommendations that state government support telework to increase employee productivity and engagement, and reduce traffic and wear and tear on public transportation. For more information about VDOT's Telework Program, consult your local Human Resource Office.

Authors: Vijaya, P P; Padmavathy, P; Sandhya, S

Abstract: Synthetic dyes, azo dye in particular, are widely found in the effluents from textile industries. The persistence and toxicity of these compounds cause adverse impact in the receiving streams. A mixture of isolated cultures, from domestic sewage treatment plant was found to decolourize reactive azo dyes, Red RB, Blue M2B and Yellow, efficiently in the absence of added external nitrogen source. After shaking incubation for 48 hrs, mixture of cultures removed these dyes and decolourization was 95% for Red RB and Blue M2B and 50% for Yellow. The mixed culture could degrade 500 mgll Red RB efficiently with the release of 84.9 mgll of ammonia. There was also degradation of 100 mgll of Blue M2B and 50 mgll of Yellow dyes but the release of ammonia was not observed in Blue M2B and Yellow. Decolourization was remarkably enhanced when peptone was used in the medium. Azoreductase activity was high in the presence of reactive azo dyes and the enzyme could decolourize the reactive dyes much faster when decolourization was studied as cell free extract in the presence of individual dyes.

Authors: Swapna, T S

Abstract: The effect of NaCI stress was studied in four rice varieties, 'Pokkali'- (salt tolerant variety), 'MI 48', 'Annapoorna' and 'Jyothi'- (salt sensitive varieties). The enzymes-esterase, isocitric dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase were studied in different developmental stages such as embryo, 14-day-old seedling, tillering and flowering stage, and in undifferentiated embryo derived callus, before and after giving NaCI stress (100 mM). Esterase activity was found to be higher in embryo stage and isocitric dehydrogenase activity was higher in callus, but the stress caused a reduction in activity of these two enzymes during other developmental stages. An increase in activity of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase was also observed during the different developmental stages under stress. There was a fluctuation "incatalase activity under NaCI stress during the different developmental stages in all the varieties. Variety specific and developmental stage specific variation was found in activity of all the enzymes studied and can be reflected in metabolic processes which, when well-defined can serve as markers for salt tolerance.

Authors: Khan, M R; Talukdar, N C; Thakuria, D

Abstract: Two biofertilizer agents, Azospirillum amazonense A10 and Bacillus megaterium P7, alone and in combination increased the grain yield of rice in autoclaved soil by 103-256% over control. Colonies of A, amazonense and B. megaterium were distinguished from the contaminant phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and Azospirilla colonies in the respective media based on colony morphology, colour and thickness of clearing zone, Population densities of A, amazonense and B. megaterium were found to be 2.6 x 108 and 2.9 x 108 CFUg .] soil, respectively at 48 day post transplanting. Protein and antibiotic resistance profiles of the inoculated and reisolated A. amazonense, B. megaterium and the contaminant colonies with the pure cultures indicated that the isolates were able to establish in the rice rhizosphere with the resultant enhancement of plant growth and yield.

Authors: Kannan, V; Raju, P N

Abstract: Biological nitrogen fixers in addition to their involvement in nitrogen fixation also take part in nitrification and denitrification processes. Some members of enterobacteria used in the present study besides fixing nitrogen also oxidized ammonia to hydroxylamine and nitrite. The whole cells as well as cell free extract of nitrogen fixing populations of these organisms showed oxidation of ammonia and this activity of ammonia monooxygenase was higher at high oxygen.conditions which was also confirmed by the calorimetric estimation of hydroxylamine and nitrite in the enzyme assay mixture.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP PLC has agreed to settle lawsuits from thousands of fishermen who lost work and others who claimed they were harmed by the oil giant's 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster, in the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
The oil giant said Friday it expects to pay out at least $7.8 billion dollars as part of the settlement. It says it expects the money to come from the $20 billion compensation fund that it previously set out.
BP still has to resolve claims by the U.S. government, Gulf states and its partners in the doomed Deepwater Horizon project, in which pressure from a well a mile below the ocean's surface blew up a massive drilling rig, killing 11 men and spewing oil into the sea for nearly three months.

Lenovo, the world's largest PC maker recently reported a fourth quarter leap in laptop sales by sixteen percent, or $4.8 billion. The nearly $5 billion accounts for more than half of the company revenue as a whole. During the fourth quarter, the company's laptop shipments also rose by a 12.9 percent compared to the industry average 5.8 percent downwards.
Lenovo passes HP as the world's largest PC maker last year, HP posting a significant loss of profit during the same quarter as Lenovo's increased.
Not only does Lenovo have great sales on its PCs and Laptops, but on its smartphones as well. Smartphone shipments rose by over 59 percent as did their tablet shipments of over 9 million.
Overall, Lenovo's line of phones, tablets, and smart TVs outsold itself from quarter four of last year by $1.3 billion. This also marks the fourth quarter in a row in which Lenovo has sold more smartphones and tablets than PCs.
Though the numbers are impressive, Lenovo will still have a long way to go before it really dominates the tablet and smartphone market. Its main competition is in Apple and Samsung, who seem not to be going anywhere with the popularity of the ipad and the recent release of the Galaxy 5.
How this pans out is to be seen, though in the world of tech giants, the future seems bright and with enough RAM for everyone.

Everyone has their limit when it comes to the booze.
Everyone has their limit when it comes to the booze.
She is the goddess of the dawn.
In mythology she renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun.
I always think of the early dawn as a time of reflection concerning the last nights happenings.
From Virgil's Aeneid:
Aurora now had left her saffron bed,
And beams of early light the heav'ns o'erspread,
When, from a tow'r, the queen, with wakeful eyes,
Saw day point upward from the rosy skies.
The title of this painting is "To have lain with Aurora."
Prints are available via Fine Art America.
Kinda a tattooish pinup styled switch.
Made some case cover versions, t shirts, etc… that people can get on Society6
My reason for this?
I have no clue. Maybe I was just feeling blue.
I've known such gals. Bad-ass, bossy, dominant chicks that can force or coerce a week willed plaything into doing any dang thing they wish, but at the drop of a hat can switch to a submissive role and revel in being dominated.
Fun memories are made with such gals.
I'd actually very much enjoy being taken control of right now.
Haven't been in sexy fun mode much of late. (as is probably obvious by my lack of blog postings)
Maybe all I need is a libido jump start.
Maybe if it was forced on me.
Maybe if someone extra special naughty got my motor revved up it would keep running all on it's own.
Since I am outa the game and just hanging out wondering what happened to my mojo though it is very doubtful I will find such a gal.
Boredom and lack of libido breeds more boredom and lack of libido.
Horny level for 2012/2013 so far is teetering between level 0 and level 1 at best.
Until 2012 it pretty much always ran around a 9 or 10 and if it dropped to a 7 (with 5 being the average joe) I'd usually start to worry.
Are you out there kinky wild girl with mojo/libido jumper cables?
Ya, didn't think so.
A fun painting by yours truly… I titled it Spectacular.
It really has nothing to do with the fourth, but the fireworks make it kinda relevant for an almost fourth of July blog post.
For those of you who partake in the lifestyle (aka swinging) you know how hard it is to find that 100% across the board perfect click with another couple.
Many say it is even impossible.
It isn't though, but it is rare.
Heck… even two people hitting it off perfectly is rare.
Just figure it like this… there are 10000 possible combinations for locks if using 4 digits.
Compare that to 100 possibles with two digits.
Now imagine all those possibilities have the ability to affect each other through personalities, beliefs, etc… It is amazing anybody can get together at all.
people do though, and when the combination opens the lock of passion it is good.
Fireworks will go off.
It will be a night to remember.
It will be spectacular.
Anywho.. hope ya dig the artwork.
Have a great Fourth Of July.
I do these artsy fun things I call SIZZLES which many of you know about, but I rarely do two from the same original artwork.
Shouldn't even say rarely. This is the first time I have.
Couldn't help it. I was having fun messing around with them and they both came out so sexy.
You can check them out bigger in my SIZZLES section on Imagekind.
You can also find the watercolor and ink I did originally (if you so desire) in my concupiscence section on the same site.
Not sure if I have ever shown any of my paintings in this style before here on Red Region Inferno.
Don't think I have, but guess it ain't important anyway.
Here it is…
I call it "GRIND"
Prints of this painting can be had HERE.
It is a blend of pop, cubism, and traditional tattoo art styles. Makes for an interesting and different look that many like and many don't with very few people falling in the middle it seems.
Anyways, rather than talk about the art I shall talk about the act.
I have no idea how many threesomes with two women I have been in.
Don't even have a good estimate of how many different girls I have participated in the act with. It is in the hundreds I know.
As for how many times I have watched (or been around) two or more girls having sex together… thousands.
I am including my adult industry years in that.
So, does it turn me on to watch girls having sex together?
Neither does nudity in general.
My whole life it has been wasted on me. It does nothing.
When I am in a position of watching I am basically just waiting for my signal to join.
Girl on girl sex shows ain't my bag.
Unless… there are certain acts going on.
This is one of them.
I love watching the scissoring, grinding, pussy rubbing.
I don't know why.
It turns me on though.
It makes me randy.
The problem is though that it seldom happens.
Sure, I've met a few girls who get it going regularly, but most don't. Not ever!
I don't suggest it myself because I like things to flow natural, but for some reason this particular thing don't flow.
I've never seen my wife do it example. She isn't the type to instigate anything either. It would need be the other girl.
Result = I don't get my visual feast.
Some would say "ask for it."
I however can't ask for something like that because it ruins it.
Natural sex however it comes about is how I dig it.
Girls that try to give me the fake lesbian sex show type act actually bug me a bit. Don't play at the show… enjoy.
I'm gonna dig it if you do. I ain't gonna dig it if it isn't real.
Dreams are odd things.
People have debated the reasons we dream since the beginning of man. They have also debated what dreams even are.
Nobody really knows. Those that say they do are really just holding onto a theory so tight they view it as fact.
I go through stages of remembering my dreams vividly to not even knowing what I dreamed about.
I have nightmares off and on too.
Mostly though I dream about sexual scenarios.
The reason I say scenarios is because it is most often about the when, why, how of a situation rather than sex itself.
The things said before, the feelings, emotions, and places are bigger in the dream than the sexual act itself.
The who of such dreams has changed over the years, but rarely has it been random people.
It is usually just one or two women that I dream of successively night after night for months.
My own theory is that dreams are as real as our waking world.
I think dreams are shared sometimes too.
Maybe these scenarios are happening for her as well as me in the world of dreams.
Maybe we meet there for these adventures.
I figure since most people have multiple dreams per night, but only remember scattered bits of one or two it is possible the other person involved wouldn't remember it or maybe would remember it differently.
I also figure that time in the waking world flows differently than in the dream world so though it seems I met with the lovely girl last night and walked hand in hand with her, she may not have that dream for months to come as far as her conscious waking self will know.
I also believe we partially control these dreams we have.
The control is shared, but perspectives are relevant to the one experiencing it.
In my dream we met in a summer meadow and you had on a white flowing dress.
In your dream it was spring in a park and had on green.
Maybe I dreamt your lips so sweet I said they tasted of honey, but you dreamt I said sugary sweet.
We can be and say anything in our dreams.
There is no limits because it all comes from our minds.
When we enter the world of dreams we all enter naked.
We then clothe ourselves in our desires.
Here is a bit of art.
I call it "Dream Walker."
You can get prints of this HERE via FineArtAmerica.com
May your dreams be beautiful.
As most of you who read my blog know, LL is hands down our favorite swingers site.
(Yes I know the lifestyle is the socially correct lingo)
Anyways… all sites could use some improvements as none are perfect.
Lifestyle Lounge has been doing a lot of that this year.
Most improvements haven't been anything I cared much about though.
Today's was awesome though.
One of the buggers with the site. (all swingers sites have buggers about them) was that if you had private galleries filled with naughty pics you could only share them with Real Sealed members.
It was for protection I suppose, but it made it so if you wanted to send your naughty pics to a freebie non certified real couple you had to do so via emails.
To much of a hassle for me. I'm lazy that way.
Now however (as of today) we certified real members (paid up or not I believe) are able to share with anybody we like on the site.
That is how it always shoulda been in my mind.
So… KUDOS to LL for a good change in the rules.
The actual title for this sexy artwork is "Intensity."
It is watercolors on paper.
The wording I added for this post is from a a song called "little dove" by Faster Pussycat.
Faster Pussycat was a successful hair/glam/hard rock band back in the 80's and early 90's.
They still exist, but don't have the fame they once had.
This particular song was off of their 1989 album called Wake Me When It's Over.
These are the lyrics:
I'm your door to door lover
I'm your cyclone pacifier
I'm your cheap trick honey
And my baby's my bionic liar
I don't bleed cause the gasoline
That flows right through my veins
I'm a motor at heart
And if I don't start
I get pissed off just the same
Your high heeled river of love
Is drippin down your thighs
It seems like my lover's
Finally satisfied
Blow my whistle, rock me little dove
Rock my missile, blow me little dove
She's a super sex junkie for money
Sometimes she does it for fame
She prefers cash to a hot seat on the dating game
I'd like to seize ya, I'd like to please ya
By customizing your frame
With the oil of lover, that some keep in a glove
But I just let it spray
Your high heeled river of love
Is drippin down your thighs
It seems like my lover's
Finally satisfied
Blow my whistle, rock me little dove
Rock my missile, blow me little dove
Your high heeled river of love
Is drippin down your thighs
It seems like my lover's
Finally satisfied
Blow my whistle, rock me little dove
Rock my missile, blow me little dove
I am not a rough sex guy.
I am not a dirty sex guy.
I don't dig pain, and don't knock over lamps or break glasses while I throw my partner onto the bed.
I am more of a sensual guy.
A soft and slow exploration type of guy, or a lets make sure we enjoy these sexy sensations type of guy.
Wild animal passion doesn't take hold of me often.
Very few women have ever had the specific combination of traits required to cause me to be animalistic.
Those that have though… Fuck!
That special sort of gal must be so strong willed she is a fight.
She must be filled with base instincts and primal urges that have no control.
She must have no worries about the state of her clothing, makeup, hair, etc… at all!
She must, when the time comes have no other thoughts except those of the moment.
She becomes a primitive.
That is the creature who can make me become mad with the urge.
That is the creature who can make me break shit and not notice.
That is the creature who can make me sweat with action and not realize it.
She is a rare one.
I've met such very few times.
Most of us (myself included) have insecurities. We have levels of vanity that don't allow us to fully let go.
We have shame, rules of conduct, worries.
We have lost touch with out animal side.
Dig the painting?
I used it for this post simply because the figure is primitive looking.
The look of the painting is not my usual. It was done in a sketched style with paints straight from the tube. The canvas had been painted over multiple times (sloppily) so I had a nice base already when I started. The actual image however took me at me about 45 minutes to paint I'd guess.
If you would like to know more about it you can read the whole story on my art blog.
I don't recommend looking at to much there (besides that post) because i often use images there first, so it can spoil the surprise for you when I post them here.
Prints of this can be had HERE.
Have a Wicked Wednesday!

Two old buddies with funny names
This picture is from the February 1952 issue of Resimli Tarih Mecmuası, a now defunct Turkish history magazine. The men identified as "Ruzvelt" and "Çörçil" are, of course, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. Back then, most Turkish newspapers and magazines printed foreign names as they would be pronounced in Turkish by someone who didn't speak the language the names were in.
The picture below, from the December 1970 issue of another history magazine, Hayat Tarih Mecmuası, shows that by then the practice had already been abandoned.
Recently, I sent the first picture to several close relatives and friends for comments. One person in the group supported the practice of "phonetic" spelling of foreign names, while several others opposed to it. One problem pointed out by the supporter, that not every language uses the same alphabet, may justify modified spellings of some foreign names. For example, the Turkish letter "ı" is almost always replaced with an ordinary dotted "i" in English publications even though their sounds are different in Turkish.
Along these lines, it is worth noting that if you go to the homepage of the Turkish Embassy and alternate between the Turkish and English versions (link near upper right-hand corner), you will see that on the Turkish pages the city of their location is spelled as Vaşington—just like they would say it in Turkish, while on the English pages, it is Washington.

LADIES who are bored of waiting for their dream fella to propose have the perfect excuse to go down on one knee this month - a chance of winning a seven night holiday in sun-drenched Antigua.
The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority is celebrating this Leap Year by offering ladies that propose to their partners on 29 February 2012, the chance to win a all- inclusive luxury honeymoon at the Sugar Ridge Resort in the twin-island paradise of Antigua and Barbuda.
Tradition states every four years on February 29, women can propose without the stigma of being rather desperate.
To qualify for the competition, entrants are required to upload a short video of their Leap Day proposal on to YouTube, between 29 February and 31 March 2012. Videos will be shared on the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Facebook site and will be promoted via @antiguabarbuda on Twitter with the hashtag #AntiguaBarbudaProposal.
The top five most entertaining and creative videos will be shortlisted and the video getting the most votes will be declared the winner of the dream honeymoon to Antigua.
Hilary Modeste, UK and Europe Director, Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, said: "We have launched this online campaign to reach our key audience of females who we know tend to be the honeymoon decision maker. We hope women will leap at the chance to propose. With a honeymoon to Antigua up for grabs, how could he say no." Nestled on a natural hillside bordered by sugarcane, Sugar Ridge hotel offers the perfect secluded and romantic escape after the big day.
Sitting elevated, overlooking the beautiful palm lined beaches of the West Coast of Antigua and Caribbean Sea, Sugar Ridge commands stunning views from every angle ensuring the perfect backdrop for a honeymoon. For more information about the Leap Year proposal visit www.visitantiguabarbuda.co.uk.

New York! Spring 2012, September 8-15, 2011, Fashion Week. Just those words alone are exciting enough to send designers, makeup artists, and those in the creative and entertainment industry into hyperventilation from the excitement of seeing innovative designs birthed forth to behold with our eyes and anticipate being the one that will gain access to the wardrobe and the beauty looks before us. This also goes for those whom heart skip a beat when it comes to fashion, beauty, and makeup. Designers like Jenni Kayne, Rachel Comey, Steven Allan,Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Richard Chai as well as prominent makeup artist like Pat McGrath, Diane Kendal,Charlotte Tilbury, Yadim (who use to assist MUA Pat McGarth and has struck out on his own) skillfully create captivating looks we anticipate witnessing to be placed in awe and even to duplicate on ourselves or have top designer's clothing or dupes in our closet.
Standouts in beauty: Lucious lip color and brighten eyes. Whether lip hues were applied glossy or matte, Fashion week's Spring debut offered color palettes of summer melons, berries, and fruit sorbet. Colors ranging from watermelon to dreamsicle orange complimented by bright-eyed shadows and shades.

Until recently, video game depictions of the LGBT community were few and far between. Certain companies like EA have pushed the issue, while others haven't even acknowledged it. In an industry where most of the target audience tends to be heterosexual males, there's no wonder that most discussion of sexuality is done through vague hints and one-off lines. With that said, there have been several franchises that have included openly LGBT characters, one of which may come as a surprise. Super Mario Brothers' Birdo, who made her first appearance in 1987, is credited as being the first transgendered video game character.
Birdo, referred to as Catherine in the original Japanese version, is a pink dinosaur-like bird, whose original purpose was to act as a mini-boss throughout Super Mario Bros. 2. She repeatedly impedes the player's progress, appearing roughly a dozen times throughout the NES game. At the time, players may not have given this enemy a second thought, but the original game's manual revealed that there was more than meets the eye. The entry for Birdo states that 'she' is actually male, but prefers to be called Birdetta. It's also interesting to note that Birdo is often paired with Yoshi, a dinosaur who is identified exclusively as male, but can lay eggs.
Nintendo has largely dropped this controversial subject, and the issue of her gender is rarely discussed. She was given a female voice in Mario Tennis, having been played by Princess Peach's voice actor, Jen Taylor, and re-releases of Super Mario Bros. 2 have omitted any discussion of her gender.
References to her gender-identity can be found in some spin-off titles, however. Her character trophy in Super Smash Brothers: Brawl describes her as "a pink creature of indeterminate gender that some say would rather be called Birdetta". While this may not blatantly state that she is transgendered, it is at least some form of acknowledgment. Her gender was once again brought up in the Japan-only Wii title, Captain Rainbow, where Birdo, being played by a male voice actor, had been imprisoned for trying to use the female restroom. In order to set her free, the player heads to her bedroom to find evidence that she is female. What they find is a censored, vibrating object (you can see why this game never made it stateside). While this may be a crude way of addressing this issue, it does show that Nintendo has not completely retconned her gender-identity.
Birdo continues to be an enigma in the Mario universe. While she may have been created as a simple mini-boss, one peculiar line in the original manual has turned her into a memorable addition to the franchise. It seems that Nintendo is unsure of how to treat this issue, but there may come a time where they openly embrace this character's unique origins. Calling Birdo "revolutionary" feels like a stretch, though there is a definite charm in having a possibly transgendered character featured as playable in popular franchises like Mario Kart and Mario & Sonic at the Olympics.

But once we have discussed, almost all of the symptoms of yeast infection are generic in nature so don't be surprised if you see some symptoms both in men and women. Candida overgrowth symptoms are generally generated by an great quantity of the yeast "Candia.". What yeast-free multi-vitamins do for you is that it increases its immunity or defense mechanisms. In addition to the iron supplements it's possible to also have Nutritional vitamin supplements like B2, B3, B6, and B12. Yet, processed meats including smoked, cured or pickled meats have to be avoided. Though it will kill the yeast, it will burn like crazy. Probiotic treatment is even prescribed for people with urinary tract infections and vaginitis. Many have reported success within 12 hours.
Is it because our therapy is not killing all the fungus? Use waxed thread to help keep the muslin set up. But many women should know that they can get candidiasis for different reasons. You'll be able to grind the garlic onto a paste and use it directly to the infected area.
Americans eat large numbers of sugar which is the biggest single aspect in Candida over growth. Increasing one's drinking habits can help to clean out candida organisms by just cleansing the gut. A baby who develops a candida condition often is suffering from infant oral thrush or severe candida diaper rashes, while a mothers body responds by developing candida or thrush to be with her nipples plus the milk ducts, often causing itching, pain or a decrease or cease in milk production. These add some messy to the sublime for the comforting.
Well, this is because most natural treatment options are not only effective and safe but are also cheap or cost-free because they are already available at your home or which they only require some effort by you. If youre thinking fungi elimination youre guaranteed to be disappointed because you cannot eliminate every one of the fungi available. It is typically noticed in gals approaching menopause, as well as the situation is caused by significant hormonal fluctuations in the body. Intercourse can also cause the transfer of yeast in one infected organ. Sometimes zinc supplements are recommended in infection diets must be normal diet doesn't consists of all of the essential goodness.
The first guideline concerning nearly all western diseases is to find rid of toxic matter, be rid off mucus and to restore the natural process to remove these items. There also can be digestive irregularities like digestive pain, constipation, diarrhea, or ibs. When we are excessively stressed your system releases Coristol, hormone in charge of blood pressure increase, with excessive turmoil sugar, due to less disease fighting capability lading to Candida overgrowth. Make sure to remove it when you wake up each day. Before you use any of them, make sure you talk to your doctor. It is about avoiding taking a lot of sugar. Another home treatment solution for yeast infections is live natural probiotic yogurt. Reduce heat.
Candida itself is a "genus" (Genus is a low-level taxonomic rank employed in the classification of just living and fossil organisms) of yeasts so when stipulated above poses not an issue to the hosts unless the defense mechanisms is compromised or stops working properly. They permit the patient to persist using what might be a very unhealthy lifestyle which actually perpetuates the situation and contributes to recurring yeast infections, maybe for a long time. Nuts are good, though avoid legumes like peanuts or cashews. From changing the dietary plan to adopting different health product preferences, it's possible to cut the chance of a rapid overgrowth of yeast. You can find anti-fungal properties possessed by cranberries and garlic which might be important to natural yeast infection cures. Some suggest inserting yogurt or vinegar in the vagina, but it would be best to speak to a doctor about it before tempting to take action. If in doubt however about these over-the-counter medications you could ask your physician whether any one they are suitable for to cure male candida albicans symptoms.
It may sometimes be associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome high are some theories that suggest a strong Irritable Bowel Syndrome Candida link, but you will find others that refute this. Once you obtain comfort on the part of the itching, vaginal secretion along with other complications they appear to reoccur. Eat Yogurt. In reality tetracycline and several other antibiotics can certainly fuel the development of Candida. It's great though being armed and ready with skin yeast infection treatment to combat the problem for good. Coping with this problem may be downright miserable. No tests exist for candida. A condom doesn't always prevent these recurring infections.
At the same time, the mere presence of diarrhea isn't clearly symptomatic of infection, which is why an even more thorough diagnosis and physical examination is mandatory. Dry thoroughly having a white cotton cloth. However, you need to understand exactly what a yeast infection is.
For instance, steroids could possibly be prescribed like a cream so that you can alleviate inflamed areas, burning sensations and rashes, but that is only the utilization of conventional medicine to reduce the disease the signs of Candida infection. With the aid of GSE, thousands of everyone has overcome the multiple outcomes of Candida. Before you use a natural yeast infection treatment, make sure that the merchandise explains to you how the yeast infection is destroyed. Cotton and silk underwear absorb humidity, keeping you dry. Although a few people assume a salad is automatically healthy simply because it is a salad, the reality is that common salad toppings like sugary dressings, croutons and breaded meat could make the salad nearly as much as a candida trigger as being a burger, fries, and an ice cream shake.
You can now suffer from it. To eat home-cooked meals, you can contribute a dash of garlic in your lunch and dinners.

Angels' Pujols isn't alarmed by missing power
ANAHEIM – The Machine is running low on power.
Thirteen games and 54 at-bats into his career with the Angels, Albert Pujols has yet to hit his first home run in his new uniform. It is the longest he has gone into a season without hitting his first home run and one of the longer homer-less stretches of a career that has been characterized by remarkable consistency – he averaged a home run every 14.2 at-bats during his 11 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals and is the only player in major-league history to hit at least 30 home runs in each of his first 11 seasons.
"I can't wait until I hit a home run so you guys will stop talking about it," Pujols said after going 3 for 5 in Thursday's loss -- all doubles, one off the top of the left-field wall within feet of being that home run. "I don't know when it's going to happen -- maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe next month.
"I know I have power. I know I can hit the ball corner to corner. ... I don't get caught up in that. I know I have 445, 444 home runs in my career for a reason."
Before the game, Pujols shrugged off the power outage and said he does not think of himself as a home-run hitter -- despite those 445 career home runs.
"That's your guys' job, to look at those numbers. Not mine," Pujols said. "I don't get caught up into all that.
"I'm a line-drive hitter with power. That's what I am and that's what I concentrate on. If I hit a line drive that goes out for a home run, great. But that's not what I focus on. I focus on having good at-bats and putting a good swing on the ball."
Pujols pointed to other stretches in his career when he went without the longball.
"Look at 2006," he said. "I was on the DL for 18 or 20 games with an oblique injury and I had a long stretch that year without a home run, too. And I finished with 49 (a career-high)."
Actually, Pujols' longest stretch without a home run in 2006 was 32 at-bats. The longest in his career he has gone without a home run was actually last season when he went 27 games and 107 at-bats between home runs, a full month from April 23 against the Reds until May 23 against the Padres.
Last year's power outage was part of the most difficult stretch of Pujols' career. With his contract situation weighing heavily on his mind, he endured the only real extended slump he has ever had and was still hitting in the .260s into early June.
The home run drought isn't the only sign that Pujols might be struggling to make an early impression with his new team. He extended a nine-game hitting streak in Thursday night's game, but he only has four RBIs as an Angel and has not walked since the third game of the season – this from a player who averaged one walk every 7.6 plate appearances as a Cardinal.
Pujols grudgingly admits he might have been "trying to do too much" at times but feels he started coming out of it during last week's road trip.
"That last at-bat when I got a hit off (Matt) Capps (Thursday in Minnesota) and then in New York – except for maybe my third at-bat against (Yankees right-hander Ivan) Nova I jumped at the ball -- I was hitting everything hard," Pujols said. "I was like, 'OK, that's you right there.'"
His past 25 at-bats -- including Thursday's three-double day -- have all been "quality at-bats, that's all I can do," he said.
But Pujols still had something to learn about weather patterns in Southern California. Twice in Wednesday's game, he drove a ball to deep center field that he thought might be his first home run as an Angel. The sixth-inning fly ball off Bartolo Colon, in particular, looked like it had the distance – and Pujols proudly showed off the ball mark, centered on the barrel of his bat at his locker Thursday.
But the notorious 'marine layer' introduced itself to Pujols and the heavy air knocked both fly balls down short of the wall.
Thursday's near-miss came on a fifth-inning laser that hit just a couple feet from the top of the left field wall. Pujols checked in at second with the first of his three doubles and slapped his hands together in apparent disappointment.
After the game, a reporter said he thought Pujols looked surprised the ball had not cleared the wall.
"I looked surprised?" Pujols said. "So did you guys.
"I wish it had gone out. Then you guys would stop asking me about it."
With plenty of things to worry about during his team's 4-9 start, Angels manager Mike Scioscia knows Pujols' power numbers are not anything to lose sleep over.
"Early in the season your numbers are naked out there," Scioscia said. "I'm sure Albert has gone 12 games without a home run before."
Angels right-hander Jerome Williams (0-1, 16.88) is scheduled to start against Orioles left-hander Brian Matusz (0-2, 8.38). Game time is 7:05 p.m. PT and it will be broadcast on FSW, KLAA/830 AM and KWKW/1330 AM in Spanish.

The Los Angeles Times has a rare Q&A with Brock Lesnar to promote his match at SummerSlam against CM Punk. Below are the highlights:
Did he leave UFC prematurely?
"You've always got that part in your mind," Lesnar said. "I do miss it, but I've got to keep myself in check. What I went through the last few years was quite traumatic, not being able to fight like I wanted. I got back on the horse way too soon. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.
"That chapter in my life has come to closure, and I'm comfortable with it."
Why he originally left WWE:
"I left originally because I was a caged animal 300 days a year on the road and they knew that. That was the bottom line — I don't want to be that person."
His personality and his heel wrestling character:
"Inside, some days I feel like that," he said. "I am a private guy, and at the end of the day I only really do care about my family. That's the most important thing: my way of life, my family. Whoever is in front of that is going to get hurt."

Badminton Runs SCC Win Streak To 25 Matches
The Pasadena City College badminton team ran its South Coast Conference winning streak to 25 matches by blanking host El Camino College-Compton Center, 21-0, Friday.
The Lancers, champions of the SCC in each of the last three seasons, haven't lost a conference match since the first match of the 2010 season. That contest, an 11-10 loss at El Camino (Torrance campus) more than two years ago, was one in which PCC won every match played that day. Because the team had only three players available due to pre-season eligibility paperwork issues, it won six singles and two doubles, and then forfeited the other matches that gave ECC the winning margin.
If you take away that bizarre defeat, you have to go back to a 2009 season-opening loss to East Los Angeles (15-6) for the last time PCC lost a full-squad conference match.
Against Compton, PCC Head Coach Bill Sanchez added two new players to the singles ladder in Linda Li and Channa Kim plus a new doubles player in Kim Huffman. No. 1 player Angie Ortiz, No. 2 Grace Espinoza, No. 3 Gabby Anjani, No. 4 Alyssa Bolt, Li, and Kim all swept their two singles matches while No. 1 doubles Boyt-Anjani and No. 2 Ortiz-Li swept their pair of matches. Huffman (Glendale High) played with Espinoza at No. 3 doubles and that duo swept Compton's Andrea Reyes-Nicole Mathews, 21-6, 21-8.
Ortiz only gave 17 points combined in sweeping both Compton No. 1 Emely Aguilar (21-5, 21-7) and No. 2 Ariana Ordiano (21-3, 21-2). To the Tartars' credit, the team was able to fill all six ladder spots after a few seasons of having trouble fielding a complete ladder for matches.
"Judging by the scores of the sets, you can tell that our squad stayed focused against Compton," said PCC Head Coach Bill Sanchez. "Sometimes you can underestimate your opponent, and that can lead to inconsistent or erratic play. We've seen two of our three SCC opponents, so we're feeling pretty good about ourselves. The win streak is a by-product of strong team-first attitude over the last few years."
On Wednesday, Mar. 21, the Lancers will travel to face El Camino College (Torrance) in a 3 p.m. SCC tilt.

Goodwill - Fishermen, acting on gut, find crash, kids
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 1:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 9:34 a.m.
If you see something that doesn't look right, do you act on gut instinct to check it out? Steven Dubois of The Associated Press wrote about two men in Oregon who did:
"As their mother lay dead in the middle of the night, a 4-year-old Oregon girl dragged her seriously injured younger sister from a crashed car and the two huddled under a blanket – and waited.
"With the mangled car stuck deep in the woods, and no skid marks on the highway, the crash site was nearly impossible to detect.
"In fact, authorities estimate the sisters were alone in the frigid woods for several hours early Feb. 20 as many motorists passed it by.
"The children finally got help after two commercial fishermen spotted what appeared from a distance to be a basketball-sized gash in an alder tree along State Highway 401 between Astoria, Ore., and Naselle, Wash. Kraai McClure and Scott Beutler travel the two-lane road frequently, and had a gut feeling something was wrong.
"The men slowed down, discussed the situation and decided to turn around and go take a look. McClure said he called 911 to see if there had been any reports of a wreck.
"Beutler, who was a first responder when he lived in Mississippi, went into the brush and signaled McClure to alert authorities.
" 'I don't know exactly what told us to turn around, but I'm just really thankful we did,' McClure said Feb. 21.
"The men spotted the wrecked car a few hundred feet from the road. Nearby were the two young girls, scared and confused. "They could say their names but were totally in shock," McClure said.
"The Washington State Patrol said the girls' mother, 26-year-old Jessica Rath of Astoria, probably was asleep when she veered off the road and struck the tree shortly after midnight. She died at the scene. McClure and Beutler discovered the crash site about 8:30 a.m.
"The 2-year-old, who had serious leg injuries, was flown to a Portland hospital. The 4-year-old was treated at an Astoria hospital and released.
"An Oregon Health & Science University spokeswoman confirmed that the younger sister, Lylah Huff, was at Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The girls' father, Keaton Huff, declined interview requests and asked the hospital not to release his daughter's condition.
"Trooper Russ Winger said investigators believe the 4-year-old, Aryanna Huff, pulled her sister from the vehicle and helped her to a spot about 20 feet away, where the fishermen found them. Winger said keeping warm with the blanket was vital with temperatures in the low 40s.
" 'Hypothermia sets in very quickly with something like that,' Winger said. 'They could have very well not been found and died of exposure.'
"Winger described the fishermen as heroes for acting on their hunch. McClure, however, gave the credit to Aryanna for helping Lylah out of the car and keeping her warm.
" 'She saved her sister," McClure said. 'She was sharp enough. I don't know how she did it or anything else, but something was watching over those little girls.' "

Hip-Hop legends Jay-Z and Kanye West took the stage for night three of the Watch The Throne tour at Staples Center Tuesday night, upping the ante on how many times they would perform their hit single "Niggas In Paris". The plan was to surpass the record set on Monday night: 9 times in a row. The reasoning? Aside from catering to a beyond hyped up crowd of 18,000, they were shooting the video to the #1 album's most popular single.
"Ya'll know we're shooting a video for Niggas In Paris tonight right?" Kanye asked the crowd.
Jay-Z added, "We didn't shoot a video yesterday. We didn't shoot a video the day before. We didn't shoot a video in New York City. We didn't shoot a video in Chicago. We're gonna shoot this ---- in Los Angeles."
To no surprise, the fans grew increasingly louder the more times the song was performed. Ending at a record breaking 10 times in a row, Los Angeles' Tuesday night Watch The Throne tour audience left the venue satisfied.
The song, which has received more than it's share of radio spins, was produced by Los Angeles based producer Hit Boy.

The new AT&T Nokia Lumia 1020 will have a 41MP camera and 2GB of Ram. Hope that its a dual release, one Verizon and one AT&T it would be nice for a change! I'm not photography nut, but most of the times I take a picture I wish there was a zoom.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has OIS, 41mp camera, NFC, radio, an optional charging plate, camera/battery plate, amazing exclusive apps, Nokia Drive and other Nokia apps and WP8 but does No MicroSD?! I really hope that's not true. As awesome as 32GB will be, when it's taking 38MP photos that will get eaten up fairly quickly, crazy not being able to upgrade it up to 96GB with a card (and hot swap when needed) for something photography oriented.

Anthony McCoy
6'4 1/2, 259 pounds | Tight end | Southern California
Agility: Won't make many defenders miss in the open field thanks to his elusiveness. McCoy's body control is fine, he just doesn't move around incredibly quickly. Solid leaping ability for a player his size.
Blocking: Is an NFL-ready blocker. McCoy is great at helping a tackle maintain ends and flush them out of a play. Shows quick feet to move to the outside and take on linebackers. Is very strong. Shows a lot of effort here, blocking along the line and in the open field. Fundamentally sound in his technique. Properly extends his arms and gets a wide base. McCoy's blocking is what gets him such high rankings.
Hands: Has very big hands – the third-largest measured at the combine. Snags the ball out of the air with ease. His power base allows him to shrug off defenders while the ball is in the air, so he can make a play. Doesn't get scared going over the middle.
Release: Slow off the line of scrimmage. McCoy may need a top-end tight ends coach to help him overcome this issue. It's not that McCoy takes false steps out of his release, he's just big and lumbering off the line. Played a lot out of the three-point stance, so that's a plus.
Route Running: Playing in Pete Carroll's pro-style offense, McCoy learned a proper route tree for a tight end. He may not be the most fluid of route runners, but McCoy knows how to attack a zone and make himself big over the middle.
Size: McCoy has an NFL-ready body. He's thick and strong throughout his frame. Has big hands and really long arms. Knows how to use his size to his advantage.
Vision: Doesn't have the kind of straight-line speed to break many big plays, so he has to rely more on timing. Sets up blockers pretty impressively for a tight end.
Final word: The ceiling might not be high for McCoy, but he projects as a very good No. 2 tight end. Don't let his stats deter you. He was slowed during the second part of his senior season by an ankle injury and academic issues.
McCoy may have averaged 20.8 yards per catch in 2009, but don't let that number fool you. He's not a great open field threat and projects as a possession tight end. Also don't judge him on his three career touchdowns. He was never a primary target in the red zone, where USC used it's wide receivers a lot.

Commissioned by italian composer Clara Iannotta.
Twelve is a sound machine comprised of 12 custom built music boxes with specially tuned lamellae controlled by on/off switches and knobs. Each knob controls the speed of one motor running one music-box and when combined, the device becomes a form of reverse digital to analogue 12 track sequencer. Whereas any attempt to create a melody would lead to failure, the device is an attempt to create a digital-like system that follows analog rules.(by Filip Visnjic for Creative Application)
For Clara Iannotta this instrument represents the finale of compositional cycle revolving around bells and music box mechanisms. World premiere of the according piece The peope here go mad. They blame the wind. was performed by Trio Catch on May 10th 2014.
Material: music boxes, wood, stepper motors, aluminium, electronics
Size: 70 x 25 x 6 cm
