The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Medications do not cure eating disorders, although they may help certain aspects of eating disorders, including the physical and psychiatric conditions associated with them. Not all people with eating disorders respond to these medicines.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
Tricyclic antidepressants
Other antidepressants
Atypical antipsychotic medications
Other medications
Medications that affect appetite
Vitamin and mineral supplements
are used to treat bone issues related to an eating disorder. These medications include:
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) affect the concentration of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. This substance plays a role in
, and possibly eating disorders.
SSRIs can be helpful for
, especially in patients who have not responded to psychosocial treatment. The medicines have not been shown to be as effective in treating
. Although, there does appear to be a benefit in patients with both anorexia and
obsessive-compulsive disorder
(OCD). SSRIs have also been shown to be helpful for weight maintenance and for resolving mood and anxiety symptoms associated with both
and bulimia. Improvement is usually seen 4-6 weeks after beginning treatment.
Possible side effects include:
Tricyclic antidepressants are thought to regulate serotonin, norepinephrine, and other brain chemicals. They may be helpful for bulimia and may be used to treat co-occurring mood or anxiety disorders. These drugs are highly toxic if taken in large doses. Therefore, they are often not prescribed for suicidal patients. Side effects are also more likely in patients who are malnourished.
There are several other antidepressants that work in a variety of different ways, affecting the concentrations of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. These medicines are usually used after an SSRI has been tried and shown to be ineffective (or caused unwanted side effects). Atypical antidepressants are often helpful for bulimia. They may be used to treat co-occurring mood or anxiety disorders. Improvement is usually seen 4-6 weeks after beginning treatment.
Atypical antipsychotic medications
have shown some benefit in the treatment of anorexia.
There is some evidence that this drug, usually used to control seizures, can also have an effect on the frequency of binging and purging behavior in bulimia.
If you have anorexia, cyproheptadine is an antihistamine that may be prescribed to help stimulate your appetite. If you have bulimia, this drug is not helpful.
Megestrol is a man-made chemical. It is similar to the female hormone progesterone. It may be prescribed to help stimulate your appetite. It is not typically used in bulimia. Megestrol should be avoided in women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
If you have diabetes or a history of blood clots, be sure to tell your doctor. You may be prescribed a different medicine.
If you have anorexia, your doctor may ask you to take a
supplement and a multivitamin containing
vitamin D
. These supplements help prevent bone loss that results from inadequate nutrient intake and low hormone levels, which are seen in people who have anorexia.
If you are taking medicines, follow these general guidelines:

Product Certification
Apparel and Home Goods Program
The Fair Trade Certified Apparel and Home Goods program is the first of its kind to offer a consumer-facing label– a mechanism to recognize brands on their journey towards ethical production, and a signal to consumers looking for high-quality styles that also support better wages and safe working conditions. In a Globescan study, when U.S. consumers were asked what new product they would most like to see Fair Trade Certified, the top response was apparel and textiles.
Contact Us to learn more about the Apparel and Home Goods Program
How to Manufacture Fair Trade Certified Apparel and Home Goods
Please download the Intro Packet for Factories. The steps of Factory Certification include:
- Introduction to Fair Trade USA
- Wage Assessment Fair Trade Training - Workers and Managers
- Governance Structures for Fair Trade
- Fair Trade Audit Performance Improvement
- Traceability of Fair Trade Cotton (FLO)
- Certified by Fair Trade USA
- Produce Fair Trade Certified Product and receive Fair Trade Premium
In an effort to maximize both farmer and worker benefit within complex global apparel and home goods supply chains, this program offers several Fair Trade sourcing and labeling options.
- Fair Trade Cotton AND Fair Trade Factory: All raw cotton material and factory where the products are manufactured are both Fair Trade Certified
- Fair Trade Cotton: All raw cotton material in the product is Fair Trade Certified
- Fair Trade Factory/Sewing: The product is manufactured in a facility approved and monitored by Fair Trade USA
How to Source Fair Trade Certified Apparel and Home Goods
- Purchase Fair Trade Certified Cotton: You can either purchase the seed cotton direclty from a certified producer group or require that your manufacturer source Fair Trade cotton from certified groups. For non-cotton products, other fibers can be used.
- Purchase from a Fair Trade Certified Manufacturing Facility: Manufacture your products at a registered Fair Trade USA factory and agree to pay a 1-10% Fair Trade permium to a worker-controlled fund. Workers democratically vote on how to spend these funds. Examples include a disaster relief fund for factory workers, a scholarship fund for workers' children, infrastructure improvements in their local communities, or a cash bonus.

Think small for the short haul
|The Smart Car parked in the shade of an oak tree, with the track at Sebring International Raceway in the distance. (Marjie Lambert/Miami Herald/MCT)
I, too, wondered how much utility a micro-car would have on a road trip, so I took one of each on a weekend getaway. I drove a Smart Fortwo to Sebring, about 150 miles north on U.S. 27, and a Scion iQ across Alligator Alley to Marco Island, just south of Naples. The manufacturers lent me their cars.
The usual reaction I got from friends and colleagues was "How could you possibly feel safe on the highway in that toy car?" The Smart car is just under 9 feet long; the iQ is 10 feet. But I survived with no close calls, no desperate maneuvers to dodge tractor-trailers, no pulling off the road to let my heart slow down.
And yes, there was room for luggage for two.
Not that there weren't drawbacks. The gas mileage, in the mid 30s and among the best for gasoline-powered engines, is still not as economical as you'd expect from such tiny cars, especially the Smart Fortwo, which has absolutely no get-up-and-go. For longer trips, or if you're a heavy-duty shopper when you travel, luggage space could be a problem.
But for a weekend getaway for two, travel in a micro-car is just fine. Their biggest advantages for travel are the same as for urban living: ability to squeeze into tiny spaces between sloppy parkers and space-hogging trucks; ability to turn and maneuver in tight spaces; fuel economy. And let's admit it: They're both cute - plus the Fortwo is customizable with modular body panels and unique body wraps.
This article is not a review; I don't claim any automotive expertise. The purpose of my test drive of these two cars was to evaluate how well they perform on road trips.
Here's a rundown:
Space for luggage: The Fortwo is a hatchback with space for two carry-on suitcases and maybe a tote bag or two. At least the same amount of luggage will fit in the back seat of the iQ, although more awkwardly; a larger space can be created by folding down the rear seats and removing the head rests.
Comfort on long drives: Both were comfortable, the Fortwo a little more so. I didn't use the back seat of the Scion.
Highway driving: I needed a long merging lane for the Smart Car to get up to highway speed and more lead time for making a left turn against oncoming traffic. The Scion, while not a fast car, did better with both. Once they reached 70 mph, both performed fine, although the Scion was noisier and neither was smooth.
Fuel economy: The federal government puts the Fortwo at 36 miles per gallon for combined city/highway driving and the iQ at 37 mpg. Here's the big difference: The Scion iQ takes regular unleaded gasoline, but premium is recommended for the Smart Fortwo.
Safety: I sat high enough that I felt visible on the highway - unlike in a low-slung car such as a Miata or a Corvette. Since there is so little car behind the front seats, a vehicle running up on my bumper would have been RIGHT THERE in the mirror; fortunately, none did. The Smart Fortwo is essentially a roll cage with eight airbags (six in the convertible), and the iQ has 11 airbags. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Scion four out of five stars for overall safety, and the Fortwo, which was not ranked in all categories, three stars for safety in a rollover.
-What I like best about the Smart Car is its forthrightness. It seats only two - that's why it's called the Fortwo. Scion calls the iQ, which is only 14 inches longer, the world's smallest four-seater. It has a bench back seat that can hold two only if they have no knees. It's like Hooters claiming to be about owls. I'd like them a lot better if they just flat out admitted "We're all about breasts, except when it comes to chicken, and then we're about wings."
With no pretense of a back seat, the Smart Car's front seats are comfortable and surprisingly roomy. That surprised my 6-foot-1 friend, who apparently expected to have to roll himself into a ball to fit, but instead stretched and commented favorably on how much head room the car had.
What I like best about the iQ is its fourth cylinder. It's a zippy car. The Fortwo, with only three cylinders, is not. The Fortwo has a five-speed automatic transmission, with the option of using paddles to change gears. But changing through the gears while you're accelerating, using the paddles or not, is slow and clunky.
Daimler introduced the Smart Car in the United States in 2008. It did poorly and eventually fizzled. Daimler's Mercedes division reintroduced it here late last year, and is introducing an all-electric version that will be available in the spring.
The Scion iQ, a member of the Toyota family, has been available in Europe and Japan for a couple years. It made its U.S. debut in California at the end of 2011. Scion has an electric prototype but plans only a gasoline-powered engine for the foreseeable future.

BEAUMONT – "This was an incredibly determined group of guys!"
That is how Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Director of Tennis Steve Moore described his team's effort on Thursday afternoon. His team, one of the youngest in the nation and that features three freshmen and a sophomore in the top six, earned the outright Southland Conference Championship after defeating the Lamar Cardinals by a 6-1 final to complete regular season play. The Islanders have now won five straight regular season titles.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi completed the 2012 regular season with a 11-10 record overall, and were 4-1 in Southland Conference play. The Cardinals finish the season at 7-11 on the year, 1-4 in league matches.
"This was a very relentless, determined group with an incredible will to win the last two days," said Moore. "These young guys really rose up the last two days."
The young players stepped up in a big way this year, with the Islanders losing their top two players from a year ago, Laurent Montoisy and James Langford, two of the top players in school history.
The Islanders on back-to-back days beat first place Nicholls 7-0, and then Lamar on their home court by a 6-1 final. In those matches, the three freshmen and one sophomore each won straight-set victories at their positions.
"I'm incredibly proud of these guys," said Moore. "They fought with all their hearts the last two days.
"This was a great team win. Every guy contributed, and every guy played each point with intensity."
The Islanders record since 2008 is now 31-2 in Southland Conference regular season and tournament matches. The win also gives the Islanders the undisputed No. 1 seed in the Southland Conference Tournament, while UTSA, Nicholls and UT Arlington all tied for second place in the conference. The tournament starts on Friday, April 27, in Nacogdoches and will be hosted by Stephen F. Austin.
"This is one of the toughest years we've ever had in this conference, with UT Arlington reaching the Top 60 and Nicholls the Top 70 in Division I." said Moore.
The Islanders also reached a high of No. 64 in the national rankings this year.
In double play, the Islanders swept the matches, as Aurelien Tave and Peter Nagy won 8-6 at No. 1, Matt Westmoreland and Nathan Robinson took No. 2 doubles by a 9-7 final, and Andrew Maingot and Alex Pavlov also won a close one by an 8-5 final at No. 3 to complete the sweep.
"You can tell how determined a tennis player is by their footwork," said Moore. "These guys really made a statement today with that.
"We win or lose with our fitness, and the last two days that's been the difference."
In singles, Tave won at the No. 1 position, taking a 6-4, 6-1 final, while Nagy, one of the three freshmen, won 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 singles.
Westmoreland, the sophomore in the top six, won in a three-set battle by a 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 final.
The other two freshmen, Fernando Llorens and Pietro Jordao also won in straight sets, with Llorens taking the No. 5 singles match 6-1, 6-0, and Jordao winning 6-3, 6-4 to complete the scoring for the Islanders.
"Every team this year was a flat-out battle, and today was no different," said Moore. "Their coach and program are a class act, and their seniors fought incredibly hard today."
Senior Carlos Valdenebro gave Lamar their only win, beating Robinson at No. 3 singles by a 3-6, 6-0, 10-2 final to finish the match.
The Islanders attention will now turn to preparation for the Southland Conference Tournament, with the team looking to earn its second straight NCAA berth, and make it four-of-five since 2008.
"This team will train as hard a humanly possible for the Southland Conference Tournament," said Moore. "But today I just want them to enjoy this title and how hard they fought to get it.
"There was a lot of pride and a lot of character from these Islanders this year."
Tournament play begins on Friday, April 27, for the men, while the women's tournament will start the day before on Thursday, April 26. Both the men's and women's tourneys will be hosted by Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches.

Portland's Comprehensive Plan is a long-range plan that helps the City implement the Portland Plan, prepare for and manage expected population and employment growth, and plan for and coordinate major public investments. The Comprehensive Plan describes Portlanders' vision for the future through a set of maps, goals and policies, and a list of capital projects. It provides direction for City decision-making on land use, transportation, parks, sewer and water systems, natural resources and other topics. It is framed in broad terms and guides future implementation, such as parcel-specific zoning or the design of infrastructure projects.
Portland is currently updating the Comprehensive Plan, as required by the State of Oregon, through a process called periodic review. A related project, Central City 2035 (CC2035) will update the plan and policies for downtown and central areas of the city.

Epilepsy Health Center
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors (electrodes ) are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer. The computer records your brain's electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines. Certain conditions, such as seizures, can be seen by the changes in the normal pattern of the brain's electrical activity.
Why It Is Done
An electroencephalogram (EEG) may be done to:
- Diagnose epilepsy and see what type of seizures are occurring. EEG is the most useful and important test in confirming a diagnosis of epilepsy.
- Check for problems with loss of consciousness or dementia.
- Help find out a person's chance of recovery after a change in consciousness.
- Find out if a person who is in a coma is brain-dead.
- Study sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy.
- Watch brain activity while a person is receiving general anesthesia during brain surgery.
- Help find out if a person has a physical problem (problems in the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system) or a mental health problem.
How To Prepare
Before the day of the electroencephalogram (EEG) test, tell your doctor if you are taking any medicines. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medicines (such as sedatives and tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, sleeping aids, or medicines used to treat seizures) before the test. These medicines can affect your brain's usual electrical activity and cause abnormal test results.
Do not eat or drink foods that have caffeine (such as coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate) for 12 hours before the test.
Since the electrodes are attached to your scalp, make sure your hair is clean and free of sprays, oils, creams, and lotions. Shampoo your hair and rinse with clear water the evening before or the morning of the test. Do not put any hair conditioner or oil on after shampooing.
To find certain types of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, you may have to be asleep during the recording. You may be asked not to sleep at all the night before the test or to sleep less (about 4 or 5 hours) by going to bed later and getting up earlier than usual. If your child is going to be tested, try to keep him or her from taking naps just before the test. If you know that you are going to have a sleep-deprived EEG, plan to have someone drive you to and from the test.

Big Sweep set for Saturday
The annual community-wide stream cleanup project coordinated by the Environmental and Conservation Organization is scheduled for Saturday in Henderson County.
Volunteers, civic organizations, scout troops, church groups, schools, neighborhood associations, government agencies and businesses are asked to sign up to participate.
For the second year, ECO is partnering with AmeriCorps Project Conserve, Asheville GreenWorks, RiverLink and Western North Carolina Alliance to create a multi-county project called Blue Ridge Big Sweep. Big Sweep is a statewide program that is part of an international effort to get citizens and communities out to clear litter from streams and waterways around the globe.

Richard Ho was back to his old tricks just about a year ago, finishing well ahead of the rest of the field in the 39th running of the Los Gatos Dammit Run. His nearest rival, Drew Azevedo, was more than a minute behind Ho, who won tough 5-mile run in 27:17. It marked the second time in three years that the 17-year-old had taken home a victory in the rugged race.
Ho has cut time off of his run each year. When he won in 2010 he ran 28:33, then dropped the time by almost 30 seconds a year later when he finished second to Weston Strum in 28:06.
So the question is, will Ho be back to do it again in 2013? And if not, who will dominate the 40th Dammit Run when runners hit the trail on Aug. 10 in the tough 5-miler that begins at 8:30 a.m. on the Los Gatos High School track?
Last summer, Ho was just getting ready for his senior year at Leland High School, where he was a member of the cross country and track teams, but in the Dammit Run he was competing with more than just other high school students. Ho faced an elite group of runners from all age groups in one of the most difficult road races in Santa Clara Valley.
When Ho won the Dammit in 2010, it was a field dominated by other high school stars. The Strum brothers of Pioneer, Weston and Nathan, followed the young Charger to the finish line, along with Bellarmine's Charles DeAnda and Kevin Bishop of Monta Vista.
The success of Central Coast Section standouts in the Dammit is really nothing new. Jason Balkman, a former cross country and track star at Lynbrook, is a three-time Dammit winner (1997, '98, '05) and Matthew Petrillo, a former Los Gatos cross country and track champ, won twice (2006, '07).
Kenrick Sealy, the cross country coach at Homestead High School, joins Balkman as the only other three-time Dammit winner (1995, '96, '01). Bob Tapia and Kevin Pierpoint are each two-time winners.
Jillian Goodwin is the defending women's champion. Goodwin bested the rest of the female pack, finishing only 11 seconds ahead of Kelly Garton.
Dominance by past and present area high school stars is not limited to the men's division at the Dammit, though. A number of local stars have enjoyed success in women's competition.
Former Presentation star Melissa Grelli, a resident of Cupertino, is one of three women who have won the Dammit twice. Grelli won in 2004 and again in 2008, and Barb Acosta and Yvonne Lund each won in successive years.
Ashley Caldwell, a star at Los Gatos in the early 2000s, was the Dammit winner in 2005.
All of the past winners and others who are veterans of the Dammit Run can attest to the rugged nature of the 5-mile course.
The race starts tamely enough at the high school, and it will finish in the same location. But in between, runners had best be prepared for the rocky, dusty trip into the foothills and up to Lexington Reservoir. Runners will race down the trail next to the high school's lower field, past Forbe's Mill onto the Los Gatos Creek Trail and make the climb up to Lexington. Runners continue up St. Joseph's Hill (Jones Trail), loop around and head back down the hill to College Avenue, and race back to the finish line on the Los Gatos track.
All finishers will receive ribbons and the top finishers in 13 different categories for male and female runners will receive awards. The West Valley Track Club will provide computerized results. Race day registration begins at 6:30 a.m.
The pre-registration entry fee is $15 (prior toAug. 8; $30 with a T-shirt), and the fee is $20 on race day ($40 with a T-shirt). T-shirts alone are priced at $20 and will be sold in advance at Athletic Performance, 55 W. Main St. or at the track on race day.
For more information, visit www.losgatosdammitrun.com. Proceeds from the Dammit Run benefit the Los Gatos High School.

Magruder Limestone, Inc. of Troy, Mo. has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) with the Village of Sunrise Beach to operate an asphalt plant at 12729 N. State Hwy. 5.
The move comes after the board of trustees did not grant the company a merchant license for the business on the grounds that the property's commercial zoning does not allow for industrial use.
The CUP request will be before the Sunrise Beach Planning Commission at its 6 p.m. Dec. 3 meeting at City Hall.
The agenda item will open the case, but is not the public hearing portion of the CUP procedure, according to village planner Roger Corbin. The hearing will likely be part of the commission's January meeting.
This is one of the first CUP applications the village has had. The zoning ordinance was implemented in 2009.
An asphalt plant formerly operated at this location as a nonconforming preexisting use, but lost its "grandfathered" status by ordinance after being out of operation for six months or more.
Magruder is seeking to open an asphalt plant in the area after being awarded a contract by the Missouri Department of Transportation to resurface around 28 miles of Route 5 in Camden and Morgan counties and nearly three miles of Route 54 in Camden County. The road work will be done during the 2013 construction season.

India, US Should Simmer Down Diplomat Row
By The New Indian Express
Published: 16th December 2013 06:00 AM
Last Updated: 16th December 2013 01:03 AM
Despite strong protests from New Delhi, the US administration has sought to justify the shockingly shabby treatment meted out to Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade in New York. The deputy consul-general's arrest on charges of visa fraud and exploitation of her domestic help was humiliating and violative of normal courtesies extended to diplomats. That she was handcuffed before her two small children and taken away smacked of impropriety. Khobragade was released on a bond after pleading not guilty in a court, but the damage had been done. India must now firmly tell the US that unless such incidents are prevented they can evoke retaliatory response against US diplomats as had happened in Pakistan and Iran with disastrous consequences.
The government should revisit the privilege accorded to Indian diplomats and officials serving abroad to take domestic help from India. Given the number of such episodes in recent years and financial implications (both in terms of legal fees to fight the cases and the restitution awarded to complainants in some cases) it may be prudent to pay them better so that they can hire domestic help in the nations they serve in. The US is saying that diplomatic immunity may not hold in Khobragade's case as non-diplomatic acts by consular officers are not covered by the Vienna Conventions. It contends that unlike diplomats based in the capital, consular officers are not accorded absolute immunity from a host country's criminal jurisdiction. While there were better ways of dealing with the issue than handcuffing, Indian diplomats too need to be more thorough about what their rights are.
The incident has cast a shadow at a time Indo-US relations were on the upswing. Rather than escalating matters, both sides must resort to backroom negotiations to resolve the issue and take steps to ensure local laws are not violated by Indian diplomats. The US government must also respect the spirit of the Geneva conventions.

Almost sounds like Mike is teasing the Band-Aid jingle again when Trey starts the count for a good Suzy opener. Poor Heart and Buried Alive are good. My Friend is getting tighter although a few rough spots in the intro tonight. Foam also has a few spots but otherwise good. Jim is good. Trey and Mike coax Page into an official circus theme Esther intro. A few rough spots in there too. Melt is good as is Rift and Guelah. Possum has the usual teases and language from this time period. Still not sure what song they are teasing this whole tour.
Here's where I noticed the EQ noises during a good Landlady opener, however Fishman kind of bungles the end. Sparkle is ok. More EQ sweeping noise. Tweezer was a little rough coming out of the Ebeneezer breakdown, but a good jam. Trey added extra lyrics to Fluff. "Asking for some bills, to my house." Pretty good Fluff. Glide is good as is Mike's song and jam. Hydrogen has it's problems tonight and it also sounds like an unintentional breakdown in Weekapaug but the song is saved and has a nice unique jam to it. You can hear Trey laugh during the Fee singing, assuming it's because of the palm tree mentioned in the show notes. Which leads us to a Cold As Ice and rare disjointed Bike. Still funny though. Sounds like Mike is going back into Terrapin instead during the vac solo. Surprisingly no Cold As Ice outro, just a weird jam. Coil is good and Tweeprise is a good closer.
Triple encores started with the hushing of the crowd for Adeline. A nice Monkey to follow and a super charged Rocky Top!
Really good show. A few rough spots here and there keep this one from being five star.

Saturday couples laced up their kicks for a 5K run around Portland.
The Love on the Run 5K, which started and finished at The University of Maine's Sullivan Gym, benefits the American Heart Association Maine Chapter.
The course took runners through Deering Oaks Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Organizers said the race was a great way for couples to be active and have some fun together.
"We're not very competitive," said runner Heidi Brivhante. "He'll run on his own. He's faster than I am. I'm just working on completing them so you know we like to get out there and do things as a couple, but we don't necessarily have to hang back with each other," Brivhante continued.
There was also a post-race party at Gritty's in the Old Port.

There is no movement in the United States to kill people in the name of second amendment rights but there is a movement that has murdered 1,200,000 children in the name of women's rights
The silver tongued talking heads on the magic living room box would have us believe that the country is in an uproar over the alleged murders of 26 people at an elementary school in Newtown, CT. An investigation is still pending. But the allegations are flying. Generally speaking, the anti-constitutionalists who don't own guns, have never fired guns and certainly have limited ability to identify them, would be willing to take away one of our most important constitutional right because they believe it would make them more "safe". None of the gun violence in America has been committed in the name of gun rights. Also, keep in mind, these anti-constitutionalists generally are of the same demographic that also believes that murdering 1,200,000 American children in 2012 in the name of women's rights is acceptable.

Not many libruls (liberals want to rule us all) know about Dr Gosnell. Those kinds of facts are carefully hidden by the media.

And to "see" god. The information of him/it would be too much to handle. Ergo the light of the creator would blind us.
I can accept that. If you look at reality. My what a deep rabbit hole it is.....

Like the human body. Take the exact chemicals that exist in a human and put them in a container and you just have a pile of stuff. It takes the organizing life force to bring it all together and make it work.
Its amazing the extreme amount of order present in all things.
Dont take this in a wrong manner but I prefer not to look at all of this in any biased manner. For me religion is too biased. I'd have to accept one groups story over another ones.
Life and creation is like a painting. We all see it through different eyes.
I've heard it said that to see god it would be a blinding experience. Maybe in an allegorical sense if one where to see the vastness of the creator the scope of it would be lost on a person because our minds just cant really comprehend something of such scale. A blinding light is the over saturation of the eyes by a highly luminescent source. In an allegorical sense our "sight" could be the level of our perception to the information before us.

If there is a creator. I choose not to define it because I feel there is so much we dont or cant know about it.
I am not totally shut to the idea that there is a creator. I just like looking at things in a logical manner. I also don't necessarily trust the word of man to convey to me the details of what is undoubtedly a very complex subject.
If you believe in god. And you believe he/it created all of that which is around us. Just think of the physics that makes it possible for you to respond to my posts on this website.
If there is a creator. It made that possible.
The amount of knowledge necessary to make that happen....is vast.
How can man presume to know anything about such a thing with any kind of real clarity given our immaturity as a species?
To me when I think about that I stand in awe and wonder.
Posted 1248 days ago.
Honestly some things may be unknowable. Like whats past the boundary of the universe.
Think about this though. Science is nothing more than act of seeing how god built it all.
This brings up an issue I have with religion. Given the depth of the discovery when it comes to how the universe works I am not comfortable in accepting religions take on a supreme creator because its too simple.
For something to create what is around us..reality itself suggests that if there is a creator it is of a far more complex nature than what religion describes.
Taking into consideration the rules we see in religion and considering the power that god has to create all of this. Some of those rules just seem useless to something so grand in scope.

I dont know that the world isn't any more wicked than it already was in past. Sad to say but wickedness has been around for a very long time.
Posted 1248 days ago.
God holds he world in His hands. Everyone needs Him NOW. He controls the sun, the moon, and all the universe.
The air we breathe, and gravity that holds us in place can be gone in an instant if the world gets so wicked that He won't abide it. As I look around, I see a very wicked world.

Where did the universe come from, that expands and contracts.
How, scientifically, did it begin?
How did life begin, using proveable scientific facts?
How did the smiggins of matter become male and female in order to repoduce? Scientific proof, please.
My imagination isn't wild enough to see anything in evolution except fairy tales.

Was there are big bang? The universes nature may be that it expands and contracts infinitely. With no beginning point at all.
I choose not to believe any religions take on the creation and nature of the universe because you cant separate out what is just simple explanative story telling who's sole point is the soothing of fears and the assuaging of peoples intense need for purpose and what may be proof that there is a creator.
Science simply looks at what is and through scrutiny of facts and the testing of the same explanations are formed that shows what makes this universe tick.
With out any bias. Although I am sure you will sneer about that and declare that false.

Just make the stupid Christians stomp on a piece of paper with the name Jesus on it.
And make sure there are no "Easter" eggs around.
After you do that, stage a violent protest shouting about Christians forcing their beliefs on you.

Some people need what religion can offer them. I mean that in all sincerity.
Atheism isn't for everyone. Thats why I take issue with the signs proclaiming atheism.
It to me is a realization that has to come with intense inner reflection and an absolutist view on everything when it comes to how and why things are the way they are.
Completely remove the human "need" for something to be something other than what it really is.
Reductionism is one of the "tools" that I use when looking at some things.
Posted 1250 days ago.
I understand.
Posted 1252 days ago.
You know I have often thought or wondered if I could return to being a believer. Part of me wants to. Part of me doesn't. But an even bigger part of me looks at the issue like this.
Its as if I have by my own volition crossed a river that has no real way back across it. At least in my view. If I can find away back across then maybe I will if not then thats ok too. But at this point I wont be searching for a way. At this point in time I really dont need much from the other side.
This may sound harsh but I dont need god.
Like a child the grows up and no longer has to rely on its parent.
One religious thing thats been blaring in my mind is the Muslim saying of "all is as god wills it".
So time will tell...

Mythravere, I like the things you write. They reveal an altruistic, logical mind.
Since you want to do what is right and make a better world, I encourage you to reconsider Christianity. But don't look at what we flawed Christians do or listen to we say. Check it out in the Bible, whose instructions James called "the perfect law of liberty."
You might be surprised at how appealing it is.

Tiredofit is right. "Religions are run by man, and as such are flawed themselves."
Is anybody more "religious" than Islamic Jihadists?
It's not about whether you display a cross in your window or go to a particular church. Like Tiredofit said, it's about belief in God.
The Bible reflects God. Some who call themselves Christians don't. I don't.
Not yet. But God promises that I will. God will "complete the good work he began" in me.

So I feel like Mythravere when he writes, "I think Christianity made possible a level of civil organization that built the western world."
Posted 1252 days ago.
In his 1998 book "Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" Jared Diamond proposed that Western Europeans ascended because of favorable geography, which gave them a favorable agricultural climate; provided access to large, easily domesticated animals for power; encouraged people to gather in cities, where they learned cooperation and developed immunity to some of the diseases that ravaged other civilizations; and other benefits.
Jared seems to minimize the influences of Jesus Christ, Greece, and Rome. I disagree with him on that. I doubt European cities would have been as successful if significant numbers of people had not been taught to "love your neighbor as yourself."

I agree with you on Rome and Greece. I would count all three as big influences on western civilization. I should have listed those as additional influences.

STANFORD -- Stanford likely will be without its top wide receiver Saturday when it faces one of the nation's most ferocious defenses.
Sophomore Ty Montgomery is doubtful for the tussle at No. 7 Notre Dame because of a knee injury suffered last week in the victory over Arizona.
The Irish are ranked in the top 20 nationally in every major statistical category and have not allowed more than 17 points in a game this season.
Montgomery leads all Stanford wide receivers in receptions (18) and yards per game (33.6).
Senior Jamal-Rashad Patterson is expected to take Montgomery's spot in the lineup. Patterson has just four catches this season but averages 25 yards per reception.
"He had some opportunities earlier in the year and the ball didn't come his way," Cardinal coach David Shaw said. "But he has been on a great trajectory since the spring."
Senior Drew Terrell (10 catches) is the other starter for the No. 17 Cardinal.
"Those guys can do everything we need them to do that's in the game plan," quarterback Josh Nunes said of Terrell and Patterson. "I have full confidence in their knowledge of the playbook and their route-running."
Montgomery's absence will resonate on special teams, as well. He averages 26.6 yards per kick return, fourth in the Pac-12 Conference.
Stanford's No. 2 kick returner is true freshman Alex Carter (22 yards per return).
The same goes for reserve tailback Anthony Wilkerson, who has missed the past two games with a leg injury.
"As he goes," Stanford guard Khalil Wilkes said, "the defense goes."
Te'o goes pretty good: The 255-pound senior has three interceptions, three pass breakups and two fumble recoveries while averaging 9.6 tackles per game.
"I don't think he's quite there yet," Shaw said. "The last thing (for an elite player) is the explosion that separates you from other guys who are just good."
"We had a meeting postponed 30 minutes so we could watch the end of the game," Shaw said before breaking into a smile. "It felt like our USC game from a year ago -- put the game on his shoulders."
Even defensive end Ben Gardner, who grew up in Wisconsin, was rooting for the Colts.
"I've been a Packers fan all my life," he said. "But as you get older, your allegiances tend to stick with your buddies."

'The Vampire Diaries': Season 5, Episode 12 'The Devil Inside'
Well the cat's outta the bag pretty early in this week's episode of "Vampire Diaries" when Katherine immediately admits to Matt she's traveling in Elena's body. And right before we all get confused, she compels him to forget it all.
In other news, Caroline and Tyler are desperately trying to get over each other. So naturally Caroline cleans while Tyler doesn't shower. Yeah, it's as if we can almost smell him through the TV…gross. Methinks someone's feeling a little bit guilty for kissing Klaus…
Anyways, Stefan is still on this weird 'let's get Elena and Damon back together' trip and no one (including Damon and Elena) understands. What's even more bizarre is the fact that Caroline is actually on board to help the cause – again with this guilty conscience thing…
Back to the doppelganger/traveler situation: Katherine's locked herself (in Elena's body) to a bed post just in case Elena is able to pull through, which, of course, she does. Disoriented and locked up, at first Elena doesn't understand, but eventually everything comes back to her. Right before Elena is able to escape, Nadia makes it back to the hotel room and compels Katherine back. Got it? Yeah, me neither…
So now all of Elena's friends are starting to get worried since none of them know Katherine has taken her body over. At first, Katherine thinks she will be capable of fooling her friends, but Nadia quickly smashes that thought, but they both do acknowledge they'll have to act fast. Everyone knows Elena's friends will stop at nothing once they actually find out she's "missing" and Nadia's no closer to finding her mother's actual body.
And just to keep things interesting Damon's Augustine bud, Enzo has re-entered the picture and it seems like the two have finally forgiven each other. In fact, to show his remorse for their earlier fight, Enzo brings him a body to feed on. So how's that for vampire peace offerings?
Here's the catch – Damon is supposed to kill him in order to show his renewed trust in their rekindled friendship. The problem? It's Elena's friend from Whitmore who's a more recent generation of the Augustine family…so yeah, Damon twists Enzo's neck instead.
The next scene was truly painful to watch. Caroline, in all her guilty glory, decides she needs to vent to her best friend Elena about her decision to hook up with Klaus. Unfortunately for Caroline that means she just spilled the beans to her arch nemesis Katherine. Yikes…didn't see that one coming. But what's more? Now Tyler knows. Double yikes.
And now for the real meat of the episode – Nadia has tracked down both Katherine's body and a witch to complete the transition. One commercial break later and we're taken into the witch's candlelit sacrifice room where they'll end Elena's life for good so Katherine can live on.
Right before the spell is complete, Elena (of course) rises to the surface yet again. This time, her brief stint back in reality is a bit more productive. She effectively knocks Nadia out and breaks the witch's concentration and spell…but not for long enough. Although Elena is able to escape, Nadia and the witch trudge one and before know it, the witch speaks – it's done.
And with that, Elena is blocked out and Katherine is back. And of course, the transition happens right as Damon finds "Elena" in the woods and decides to give the best 'let's get back together' speech of all Vampire Diaries time.
"You're the good and I need a little good in my life," Damon admits. "Because without it, there's an awful lot of darkness."
But in perfect Katherine fashion, she refuses to let Damon back into "Elena's" life. "We're over," she mutters. And with that, the vixen smiles as she walks way.
Here are some other thoughts I had from this week:
- I thought everyone would hate Caroline a lot more once they all found out she slept with Klaus
- I think I agree with Tyler's decision to leave town for a little bit to clear his head
- I definitely am excited to see how long Katherine can keep up this rouse in Elena's body
So what's the deal? Is Elena really not ever coming back – surely that cannot be true?

'American Idol,' Hollywood Round, Part 2: TV Recap
Seriously, Nicki Minaj, tells us what you really think.
Nicki pulled no punches tonight on 'American Idol,' and bordered on rude and mean, as 43 guys got their final shot at a greenlight to the next round. Only half survived tonight's solo day this Hollywood Week.
Nerves almost overcame Paul Jolley, so much so that before he started singing the judges told him to shake it off. Nicki was irritated by how defeated he looked when took the stage. She told him he could have shown just one minute of professionalism.
Curtis Finch, Jr. didn't buckle, however. He stepped up with positive energy and introduced himself. But it was his voice that wowed the judges. "Absolutely beautiful as always," said Mariah.
Every eight singers, the judges made a call. Group one was, according to Randy Jackson, not unanimous. Still: Lazaro Arbos, Curtis and Paul – all got sent through to the next round.
Devin Velez was told by Keith, "You were born to sing." Gurpreet Singh Sarin strummed his own guitar as he sang and Cortez Shaw brought some passion up there.
Nicki looked bored as Matheus Fernades stepped up, but Mariah looked moved as the words "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" spilled out. But she said after, "It was a little bit not connected." Nicki jumped in and said he made too much reference to his height, suggesting he was close to making it a "pity party."
Devin, Gurpreet, and Cortez were all given the go to the next round, but Matheus was sent home.
Nicholas Mathis had Keith singing along, Randy chuckling just a little, and Mariah listening intently. But at the end of his performance, Keith said, "When you said chasing a dream, I got the feeling you were chasing a song."
Before Papa Peachez even sang a word, Nicki mumbled, "Why is he singing this?" And that was the kindest thing she had to say about the performance. Mariah conceded that Jimmy Smith has been one of her favorites since the beginning.
Survivors from this group of eight got words from Nicki first: "This was the one time to fight for you life. If you didn't fight for you life you will probably be pretty upset with yourself. And you should be." Then she sent Nicholas and Papa home, and the rest on.
Nick Boddington sang and it was all smiles from the judges' table. Charlie Askew rambled on about a girl before singing, prompting a serious-or-sarcastic comment from Nicki, "Such a smart intro." After he sang she said, "Charlie I am obsessed with you. Today you became an artist in my mind."
This group of eight caused some "dissension among the ranks" according to Mariah, but Charlie and Nick made it through along with a few others.
Burnell Taylor and Marvin Calderon both advanced as well in the next round.
The words of "I Told You So" melted out of Micah Johnson's mouth, but still in the surprise of the night, he was sent home.
And just when you think it's over…the 'yes' guys were called back onto the stage. Randy congratulated them and explained the girls were next week, but that still, eight more of the guys will get the boot Thursday.
Do you think we saw the next Idol tonight? Follow Stephanie Krikorian on Twitter @StephieKrik.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
Fort Lewis College went into the phone booth after Set 2 and came out with an S on its chest.
And Black Hills State was all out of kryptonite.
The FLC volleyball team rolled to an impressive 25-13 win in the third set before winning the fourth 25-18 to top the Yellow Jackets 3-1 in the schools� first-ever Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference meeting.
FLC won 25-18, 16-25, 25-13 and 25-18.
The Skyhawks (8-7, 4-3 RMAC) were as impressive in the third set as they�d been all year. Ciara Krening�s sets were crisp, the serving picked up, the kills were powerful, and the blocks were disruptive as FLC built a lead as big as 24-9 before closing the door.
�I think they started to realize what their hard work has been going towards, and now they see that they can get that rhythm together,� FLC head coach Shelly Aaland said.
�What we reminded them of was we had a good scouting report on Black Hills, and while they were big � they were big girls � those shots were still available to us. ... I think they did a great job of remembering what our game plan was, and they did it.�
Blocking perhaps was the biggest key in the big third set. FLC had five team blocks, using a combination of defense and serving with aplomb to rattle Black Hills State (5-11, 0-7 RMAC), which mustered a -.067 attack percentage in the frame.
�I think during the first couple games we got a feel for where they were hitting and stuff, and it was easy for us to adjust to them,� Stephani Sonka said.
The Skyhawks picked right up where they left off in the fourth set, tallying a .370 attack percentage after posting a .348 mark in the previous set.
Offensively, Krening, who had 40 assists, was an equal-opportunity setter. Hannah Starbuck, a junior, had 11 kills against no errors. Ashley Wells had 11 kills, Ashley Ellis 10 and Sonka eight in a well-rounded display.
�Hannah, no errors on 20 attempts ... that girl plays with the ferociousness that few players play with,� Aaland said. �I respect and honor her maturity because I think that�s what it is.
�Ciara did a good job. While I don�t think it was her best technical night, I think she does a great job of knowing the offense and how we want the ball distributed. ... Steph did great.�
For Aaland, the biggest tell of the night was the final set.
Wells said Thursday the weekend�s mantra was to finish, and the Skyhawks did just that, holding the lead throughout and overcoming a handful of service errors to keep the Yellow Jackets at bay.
�That was our character match is what I called it at the start of the fourth game, because we had an opportunity to show what kind of character we were going to have,� Aaland said. �Were we going to allow them back in it? Or if we were just going to keep going. And while I do think we had a couple moments in that fourth game where we wanted to invite them back in it, I think we fought through it, and I couldn�t be any prouder of the girls.�
The key in the final two decisive sets was the Skyhawks� ability to not allow a Yellow Jackets� run of more than a couple of points. Black Hills State couldn�t build momentum as FLC chipped in timely kill after timely kill.
�I think that�s really important. We just kept the momentum the whole time, and it just seemed easier to keep that momentum through our blocks, passes, digs, everything,� Sonka said.
FLC�s lone blemish on the evening came in the second set. Caitlin Templeton, who finished with 13 kills, and Amy O�Neill, who had 15, put down nine of Black Hills� 14 kills, and the Skyhawks limped to a .167 attack percentage, piling up six errors.
It was a stark contrast to the opening frame, one in which both teams put on a fairly impressive attacking display. Black Hills State had 13 kills against just four errors but did itself in with four service miscues; FLC had 12 kills to just two errors for a stellar .435 percentage.
�Again, it was just going back to what we knew,� Aaland said.
Jenna Kinzer led FLC with nine digs.
Now the test becomes whether or not FLC can ride the wave of momentum into today�s matchup with Chadron State at 6 p.m. at Whalen Gymnasium � Match No. 2 on this homecoming weekend.
�I think we just have to make sure we keep our focus and remember how this feels (Friday) and just carry that over to (today),� Sonka said.

A solid start in Basel
Roger's first match after a long break was a strong one. He defeated Olivier Rochus 6-3, 6-4 in Basel today.
Roger was asked if his 7-0 head-to-head lead did not make a match like this clear right from the start. But our champ pointed out that as a junior he only rarely had a chance against the Belgian. That was also the reason why he asked Rochus if he would team up with him for the doubles in Wimbledon - and they went straight on to become the junior champs!
It was also thanks to his serve that Roger dominated today's match. He broke his opponent to take a 4-2 lead in the first set and one more break to 3-2 in the second was enough to then go on and seal the victory.
Roger will meet Andreas Seppi (ATP 38) in the next round on Wednesday. Roger leads the head-to-head 5:0 and has never dropped a set against the Italian.
Roger has also decided to enter the doubles competition in Basel. He will play alongside Marco Chiudinelli - the two had worked as ball-boys together during two years at the Swiss Indoors many years ago!
Good luck for your upcoming matches, but above all, keep fit and well and healthy, same for the three girls.
Hope the kids enjoyed Halloween, and they weren't frightened
With friendly wishes
Congratulations Roger!! Good luck tomorrow with Marco and your next round against Andreas Seppi!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Go Roger!!

Definition of inundate in English:
verb[with object]
- You may be surprised to learn that we are not inundated with complaints from people living in the surrounding area there is no trouble.
- We were inundated with requests from people to help them find their transport.
- In a world where people are inundated with information from the media this seems naive.
- Here in Naples, Hurricane Wilma caused flooding, including inundating a parking garage.
- The building of the canal is expected to control the annual floods that inundate many parts of the capital, causing much loss of life and property.
- When the precipitation rate increases in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, floods inundate southern China and Bangladesh and drought hits some of the remotest Indian villages.
Late 16th century: (earlier (late Middle English) as inundation) from Latin inundat- 'flooded', from the verb inundare, from in- 'into, upon' + undare 'to flow' (from unda 'a wave').
water from Old English:
The people living around the Black Sea more than 5 000 years ago had a word for water. We do not know exactly what it was, but it was probably the source for the words used for 'water' in many European languages, past and present. In Old English it was wæter. The Greek was hudōr, the source of words like hydraulic (mid 17th century) and hydrotherapy (late 19th century). The same root led to the formation of Latin unda 'wave', as in inundate (late 18th century), abound (Middle English) (from Latin abundare 'overflow'), and undulate (mid 17th century), Russian voda (the source of vodka), German Wasser, and the English words wet (Old English) and otter (Old English). Of the first water means 'unsurpassed'. The three highest grades into which diamonds or pearls could be classified used to be called waters, but only first water, the top one, is found today, describing a completely flawless gem. An equivalent term is found in many European languages, and all are thought to come from the Arabic word for water, mā, which also meant 'shine or splendour', presumably from the appearance of very pure water. People and things other than gems began to be described as of the first water in the 1820s. Nowadays the phrase is rarely used as a compliment: in a letter written in 1950, P.G. Wodehouse commented disparagingly on J. M. Barrie's play The Admirable Crichton: 'I remember being entranced with it in 1904 or whenever it was, but now it seems like a turkey of the first water.' If you study a duck shaking its wings after diving for food you will see the point of water off a duck's back, used since the 1820s of a potentially hurtful remark that has no apparent effect. The water forms into beads and simply slides off the bird's waterproof feathers, leaving the duck dry. Water under the bridge refers to events that are in the past and should no longer to be regarded as important. Similar phrases are recorded since the beginning of the 20th century. A North American variant is water over the dam. The first uses of waterlogged, in the late 18th century, referred to ships that were so flooded with water that they became heavy and unmanageable, and no better than a log floating in the sea. A watershed, a ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers or seas, has nothing to do with garden sheds but means 'ridge of high ground' and is connected with shed (Old English) meaning 'discard'.

SANTA CLARA -- His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama made his last stop in his Bay Area swing when he appeared at Santa Clara University Monday speaking to sold out crowd.
His Holiness spoke about finding happiness in life.
In his appearace at the unviersity, he sported a Broncos' visor as he spoke for about 15 minutes on compassion and health.
The Dalai Lama, 78, is considered one of the world's foremost voices for peace and universal ethics. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 in recognition of his commitment to peace and nonviolence over a 40-year-long campaign to end China's occupation in his home country from which he's long been exiled.
While the Dalai Lama's stop in the South Bay generated a buzz, a small but vocal group of Buddhist practitioners protested his appearance.
About 50 people who are part of the International Shugden Community lined up on El Camino Real across from the university in protest. The group claims the Dalai Lama has banned anyone from praying to Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.
"We're representing people that have no voice, people who are trying their best to have this as a part of their daily practice," said Len Foley, spokesman for the International Shugden Community. "It's a beautiful meditation that we engage in. ... When you start to enforce a ban that's when it becomes religious discrimination and basic human rights abuse."
The protesters lined the sidewalk of El Camino Real and loudly chanted "Dalai Lama Stop Lying."
Foley said the group will protest the Dalai Lama's appearance Tuesday and next week in Washington D.C.
The protestors, who live worldwide, will also follow the Dalai Lama to Europe in the coming months, Foley said.
Dalai Lamas are the head monks of the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
"Compassion, obviously love, a oneness with humanity, less division in life; it was a message on how to be more happy as a person in the world," said Mark Kaldunski, a Hayward resident said at an event Sunday in Berkeley.
Staff writer Bruce Newman contributed to this report.
