Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrinopathy. The appropriate management of its mild form, however, remains controversial.
Mild primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with psychological distress and other nonspecific symptoms that improve following parathyroidectomy.
Two-year prospective before-after study.
University hospital.
Twenty-six consecutive patients with mild hypercalcemia (<12 mg/dL [<3 mmol/L]) due to primary hyperparathyroidism, without osteitis fibrosa cystica or urolithiasis were enrolled from January 11, 1997, through April 21, 1998.
Main Outcome Measures
Primary outcome was psychological distress as measured by the 28-item version of the General Health Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes included body weight, joint pain, and occurrences of bowel movements and urination.
Before surgery, 15 patients (58%; 95% confidence interval, 37%-77%) showed psychological distress (case group) while 11 patients did not (noncase group). A clinically and statistically significant reduction in the General Health Questionnaire score was detected at 3 months in the case group (−6.1; 95% confidence interval, −11.0 to −1.2), but the reduction was smaller (−1.9; 95% confidence interval, −6.9 to 3.0) at 24 months after surgery. No significant change in the General Health Questionnaire score was observed in the noncase group during the follow-up. No significant change was noted in any of the secondary outcomes.
Psychological distress was associated with mild primary hyperparathyroidism and was ameliorated after surgery. The improvement, however, was limited in extent and duration.
WITH THE increasing use of routine biochemical laboratory testing, primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is frequently detected.1 This trend has resulted in an observed change in the clinical presentation of the disease, in that most patients show mild hypercalcemia without classical manifestations of osteitis fibrosa cystica or urolithiasis.2,3 This evolution is challenging the management of the disease, and the recommendation of surgery for such patients is open to debate. A regional survey3 showed that surgery was recommended as the initial management for 41% of patients diagnosed between 1965 and 1974 but for only 15% of those diagnosed between 1983 and 1992.
The US National Institutes of Health4 proposed criteria to recommend surgery for asymptomatic patients with PHPT; nevertheless, some physicians are more conservative than the recommendations suggest, while others advocate parathyroidectomy for almost all patients.5- 8 Among endocrine surgeons, a significant variation was noted in the threshold for recommending surgery.9
Some researchers7,10,11 claim that patients with mild hypercalcemia due to PHPT report symptoms, when questioned in detail, of depression, constipation, polyuria, weight loss, and joint pain; other investigators,12- 14 however, do notagree. A systematic review15 of the literature revealed that the effect of surgery on such outcomes has never been fully elucidated with the relevant study population, namely, patients showing mild hypercalcemia without the classical manifestations.
The objective of the present study was to determine the extent of and the changes in nonclassical symptoms before and after parathyroidectomy in this particular patient population. Psychological distress was chosen as the primary outcome because it is an essential aspect of humans' well-being. Secondary outcomes included body weight, joint pain, and occurrences of bowel movements and urination.
A prospective longitudinal study was conducted in patients with mild PHPT who were operated on and followed up for 2 years. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of Tokyo Women's Medical University. All participants in the study gave written informed consent.
To be classified as having mild PHPT, patients had to fulfill all of the following conditions (inclusion criteria): albumin-corrected serum calcium level less than 12 mg/dL (<3 mmol/L), no evidence of osteitis fibrosa cystica on x-ray films of the hands, and no history or evidence of urolithiasis. Patients with 1 or more of the following conditions (exclusion criteria) were excluded: multiple endocrine neoplasia, recurrent or persistent hyperparathyroidism, concomitant thyroid diseases, or a cognitive limitation.
From January 6, 1997, through April 30, 1998, 80 consecutive patients with PHPT underwent parathyroidectomy in the Department of Endocrine Surgery at Tokyo Women's Medical University. Because 37 did not fulfill the inclusion criteria and 8 patients met at least 1 of the exclusion criteria, 35 patients were potentially eligible subjects. Among them, 26 agreed to take part in the study (participants), while 9 patients never have a chance to be asked to participate for logistical reasons (nonparticipants).
Psychological distress was measured using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).16,17 It is a self-administered screening instrument designed to detect current diagnosable psychiatric disturbances, and it focuses on disruptions in normal function rather than on lifelong traits.16 A 28-item version (GHQ-28), 1 of several shorter forms of the GHQ, was used for the present study and includes 4 subscales (somatic symptoms, anxiety, social dysfunction, and severe depression). The GHQ scoring method of assigning weights of 0, 0, 1, and 1 to 4 response columns for each of the 28 items generates a potential total score between 0 and 28.16 For the Japanese GHQ-28, a cutoff value of 6 is used for psychological case identification, designating patients with a score of 6 or higher as cases.17 Reliability and validity of the GHQ-28 have been established, with a test-retest correlation coefficient of 0.90 and sensitivity and specificity in case identification of 90% and 86%, respectively, for a cutoff value of 6.16,17 It was also demonstrated that the GHQ-28 reflects changes in the severity of psychiatric disturbances over time.18
For the secondary outcomes, participants recorded their body weight and the degree of joint pain as assessed by an 11-point numerical rating scale.19 In addition, they were asked to keep a diary in which they counted the occurrences of bowel movements and urination for 3 consecutive days at each scheduled measurement.
All outcome measures were evaluated before and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after parathyroidectomy. The initial assessment was performed during the hospital stay just before the planned surgery, and follow-up evaluations were conducted by postal communications.
Characteristics of the participants and the nonparticipants were compared using the χ2 test for categorical variables and an unpaired t test for continuous variables. The mean preoperative GHQ score of the participants was compared with the reference value of the Japanese GHQ-28 (mean ± SD, 2.76 ± 2.31) using an unpaired t test.
Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to examine the time trends in the outcomes. For the primary outcome, the GHQ total score and its 4 subscale scores were analyzed by multivariate repeated-measures analysis of variance. Multiple comparisons were made between the baseline and postoperative outcome measurements using Dunnett procedure. For occurrences of bowel movements and urination, mean values at each scheduled observation period were used for the statistical analyses.
Based on observations by Ormel et al,20 a minimally and clinically important change in the GHQ-28 score ranges between 3 and 6. When a type I error is set at 5% for a 2-tailed distribution, a sample size of 26 gives a power greater than 84% to detect that change using a paired t test, assuming that the SD of the change in the GHQ-28 score ranges between 3 and 5.20
The 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for proportions were constructed using binomial distribution. Commercially available statistical software (SSPS version 10.0J; SPSS Japan Inc, Tokyo, Japan) was used for all other analyses.21
Characteristics of the 26 participants, along with those of the 9 nonparticipants, are shown in Table 1. The mean ± SD level of serum calcium of the participants (10.7 ± 0.6 mg/dL [2.68 ± 0.15 mmol/L]) was significantly lower than that of the nonparticipants (11.4 ± 0.4 mg/dL [2.85 ± 0.09 mmol/L]) (P = .01). Although statistically insignificant, there were more women among the participants (23/26 [89%]) compared with the nonparticipants (5/9 [56%]) (P = .055). Nine participants (35%) required medications for comorbid conditions while 6 nonparticipants (67%) needed medications (P = .13).
All of the participants underwent standard unilateral neck exploration and parathyroid tumor removal without any complications. Pathological diagnoses of the tumors were all single adenomas. None of the participants developed hypocalcemia requiring calcium or vitamin D supplementation, except for 2 who took calcium lactate or calcitriol for several days for slight numbness. Serum calcium levels of all the participants were within the normal range throughout the follow-up.
At the initial assessment, the mean GHQ-28 total score of the participants was 8.6 (95% CI, 5.5-11.7), which was significantly higher than the reference value (P<.001). Fifteen subjects (58%; 95% CI, 37%-77%) were considered to be psychological cases while others were noncases. Baseline characteristics of the case group and of the noncase group are presented in Table 2. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age, sex, laboratory data, or the prevalence of comorbid conditions.
Three participants in the case group withdrew from follow-up evaluations of the outcomes. One took part in the preoperative assessment. The other 2 became unavailable after responding at the 3-month and 6-month evaluations, respectively (Table 3). They were excluded from the longitudinal analyses of the primary and secondary outcomes data.
Multivariate-repeated measures analysis of variance of the GHQ scores showed significant changes in the time trends in the case group (P = .01) but not in the noncase group (P = .63). Changes in the GHQ scores from the preoperative assessment are summarized in Table 4. A significant decrease in the GHQ total score was noted at 3 months after surgery in the case group (−6.1; 95% CI, −11.0 to −1.2), but the change was not sustained at 24 months (−1.9; 95% CI, −6.9 to 3.0). For the subscale scores in the case group, significant reductions were observed in somatic symptoms, anxiety, and severe depression at 3 months after surgery. The extent of these reductions, however, became smaller as time passed after surgery, except for the depression subscale, for which the reduction was maintained throughout the follow-up. At 24 months after surgery, the proportions of participants whose total scores were at the cutoff value or higher were 83% (95% CI, 52%-98%) in the case group and 27% (95% CI, 6%-61%) in the noncase group.
Preoperative mean ± SD values for body weight, joint pain on the 11-point numerical rating scale, and occurrences of bowel movements and urination were 56.2 ± 7.8 kg, 2.6 ± 2.5, 1.2 ± 0.7, and 6.5 ± 2.1, respectively. Follow-up evaluations revealed no significant changes in any of the secondary outcomes (Table 5).
Although surgery has traditionally been the definitive treatment for PHPT, a recent predominance of patients with mild disease has called into question the need for parathyroidectomy.5 Because an abnormal test finding of mild hypercalcemia may not in itself be an indication for parathyroidectomy, clinical outcomes of surgery were examined to try to resolve this dilemma.
Psychological symptoms are associated with PHPT, including depression, anxiety, fatigue, concentration difficulties, and sleep disturbances.22 Such observations led to the formation of a hypothesis that PHPT causes psychological distress. There are some biological explanations to support the relationship.23,24 The effect of parathyroidectomy, however, has never been fully established: some researchers23,25,26 report that surgery is associated with improvement of the symptoms, while other investigators12- 14,27 report conflicting findings. In particular, data on patients with mild hypercalcemia are limited. A 1997 systematic review article15 revealed 3 studies that had used reliable and valid instruments to measure psychological distress in this patient population. Although PHPT with mild hypercalcemia is associated with distress, no longitudinal study with a sufficient follow-up had determined the outcome effects of surgery.15 In addition, no other study at the time of our investigation had reported on the outcomes of a study population without the classic symptoms. This prompted us to carry out a longitudinal study of this population in whom indications for surgery are controversial. In a study published in 1998, Pasieka and Parsons28 reported that patients with PHPT experienced improvements in their symptoms, including psychological ones, 1 year after surgery. This study, however, involved a population with general PHPT, not the mild form of the disease. Using the SF-36 health status questionnaire, Talpos et al29 measured quality of life in a randomized controlled trial of patients with mild PHPT who were allocated to groups with or without surgery. Although their study demonstrated that surgery provided some statistically significant improvements, it was not clear whether the observed changes in the SF-36 scores represented clinically important improvements.
The primary hypotheses for the present study were 2-fold: (1) mild PHPT is associated with psychological distress and (2) the distress is improved after parathyroidectomy. The results obtained were consistent with the hypotheses. However, because the improvement in the case group was not sustained during the follow-up, the association may not represent the causal relationship between the disease and the distress. The changes in the GHQ scores in the case group can be explained by alternative hypotheses. First, psychological symptoms may arise from stress as a general experience of having surgery.13 In a study conducted by Joborn et al,10 patients with probable PHPT with mild hypercalcemia who had not undergone parathyroidectomy showed little distress. The explanation, however, is weakened by the finding that preoperative patients with other diseases did not exhibit distress.28,30 Second, regression to the mean may play a role in the repeated measurements.31 However, the observed changes in the case group at 3 months after surgery were clinically important beyond statistical regression.20 Third, as Lundgren et al32 showed, symptoms such as joint pain, increased fatigue, loss of energy, and mental depression were commonly seen among healthy subjects; therefore, these symptoms in patients with mild PHPT may be coincidental, and the observed improvement may be a consequence of patients' expectations of the treatment. As shown in clinical studies33,34 of surgical treatment for angina pectoris, if improvements in subjective symptoms are due to such a placebo effect of surgery, the symptoms would be expected to recur several months after the operation. The 2-year follow-up in the present study was sufficient to compensate for this potential bias.
Generalizability of the present study is limited for 2 reasons. First, results from preoperative patients may not be applicable to patients who are managed conservatively. Second, the prevalence of psychological cases in the present study may be overestimated because there were more women among the participants compared with the nonparticipants. Scores on the GHQ tend to be higher in women than in men.16
Benefits of parathyroidectomy cannot be determined by conducting randomized controlled trials in which subjects are blinded to interventions, because such allocation would be unethical. Therefore, observational studies on various outcomes are necessary to establish appropriate management strategies for patients with mild PHPT.

I'm not exactly what you would call a sentimental kind of person, and I tend to get a little 'gaggy' when it comes to the so-called touchy-feely things in life. But if there is one thing that makes me feel like a big old softy, it would be Dave Chappelle's Block Party. Now this is what I call a call a 'feel good movie' with everyone from the lady behind the counter at a liquor store to a *
The 2005 documentary was written and hosted by Chappelle with Michel Gondry behind the camera, and even if you aren't the biggest fan of soul and hip-hop music, you can't deny that you can practically feel the joy that seeps through every frame. The musical line-up included artists like Mos Def, The Roots, Common, Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu. Chappelle even pulled off the impossible by getting The Fugees to perform onstage together for the first time in seven years.
*Correction: the marching band Chappelle brings along is the celebrated College band, The Central State University Marching Band.
It may have seemed like an unlikely combination of a smart-mouthed comedian and a French art-house director, but the movie works like a charm. Maybe because the film is without a drop of cynicism or anger and for a comedian who is usually associated with confrontational racial humor, Chappelle makes everyone feel welcome. It also probably didn't hurt that as a director, Gondry has a love for the more fantastical side of life -- and what could be more fantastic than a bunch of people getting together in the rain to watch the concert of a lifetime?
Block Party Fun Facts:
- The film was a tribute to the 1974 documentary, Wattstax -- a film that has one of the best tag-lines in recorded history: "100,000 brothers and sisters turning on to being black...telling it like it is!" (ahh, the 70's)
- Chappelle funded this project with his own money.
- The Fugee's musical performances were not included in the soundtrack due to legal problems with the groups record labels.

No, get back on the wagon, and don't let the occasional slip up get you down.
I had a bit of a sugar binge. I'm a bit upset about it because I had been doing so very well, and starting to feel so much better.
So tomorrow I'm back to basics. It's not going to be like it was in the beginning last time, is it? Please tell me no......
No, get back on the wagon, and don't let the occasional slip up get you down.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own experience.
In the mind of the beginner, there are many possibilities; in the mind of the expert, there are few.
I've shaken hands with a raccoon and lived to tell the tale

CW: 180 pounds
Goals for 2012: Lose a bit more fat and start a serious muscle and strength routine
Nah, your good to go. Like KFC said....errr @lex said....just hop back on.
lol!!! Thanks guys! I just don't want to have to go through the whole sugar withdrawal process again. Which begs the question, if I hated the withdrawal process so much, why in the fuck did I go off the plan today??? Stupid.....
Yeah, I already feel like complete shit. Like, really bad. I have a stomach ache and a headache, there is a ton of tension in my neck and shoulders, ugh, and my stomach is all bloated up huge. I want to come back and read this post next time I feel like having some sugar. So not worth it.
It usually only takes me a day or two to feel better when I slip and fall. Pick yourself up, brush it off...today is a new day!
Same here ^
Yes, I'm feeling much better now!

Sanne walked into the kitchen and stood in surprise, watching us for a while, and I got the creeps but Ditte entreated me to fuck on. A couple more pumps into it, Ditte broke out in a proper orgasm which allowed me to finally give her a good pair of deep full thrusts that sucked my entire cock to the hilt. I felt my cum pump into her and fill her pussy so it splashed around her pussy before a light pulse from her pussy pushed me all of the way out. Ditte's heavy breathing started to slow, and we both lay there, huffing and puffing for a minute. While we recovered, Sanne moved closer, and we could see a thousand thoughts flying through her head before Ditte calmly said, "Hi treasure!" Ditte kept me where I was between her legs, as I stood up so that she could half-sit up.
I realized something had made Ditte unashamed to have Sanne see us; nor had Sanne fled to her room. My cock had no chance to slacken due in part to Ditte's clutching pussy and partly by the exciting situation. Not that I am one to run after teenagers, but it was just that the mother and daughter scenario was one of my favorite fantasies. So I could not help but peek at Sanne and appraise her a little. She was.a replica of her mother; through her loose-fitting linen blouse I glimpsed two small conical teen tits. Her nipples were clearly visible and erect, and she had a short skirt that just reached mid-thigh. In other words, she was an incredibly sexy girl.
Again, I adopted a passive attitude so as not to spoil the excitement, as Sanne went over and hugged her mother and gave her a kiss on the mouth. Ditte hugged Sanne and I saw how their kiss was ... a kiss. My cock came alive and I dared to hump Ditte a bit and immediately I felt her pussy hug me back. Sanne saw us, and asked Ditte if it was nice and Ditte nodded and gazed with a horny expression at me. I looked back and caressed her cheek while I humped her a bit more. My cock was now fully stiff again and my horniness in full force. Sanne bent down and started kissing Ditte's breasts and as she suckled her Ditte moaned that it felt so nice. I realized that this could be something extra that I never been experienced before.
Fucked now, Ditte lay with quiet dismay, as Sanne sucked upon her mother's nipple, and I saw that Ditte had her hand under Sanne's linen blouse, caressing her breasts. Ditte whispered something in her ear, to which Sanne responded by pulling off her top and I got to see the gorgeous breasts that were just as sexy as I had imagined them. She then proceeded to take off her skirt and I now saw the sweet sylph entirely naked. I almost had an orgasm right then and there, and with my dick deep in Ditte's pussy it was hard not to spray into her again. I felt that I wanted to wait so with all of my will power I focused on polar bears, ice caps, and frigid seas. Sanne now seemed just as horny as her mother and when Ditte sucked on her breasts she began to moan and whimper for more.
I took courage and put my hand on Sanne's gorgeous little puckered ass. The feeling made me remember my younger days when I managed to date a girl who wanted to fuck anally. I noticed that Sanne liked my caresses, as she pouted more and spread her thighs. The whole time I fucked Ditte and we started to charge up for another mega-orgasm, my fingers glided toward Sanne's pussy and I felt her moisture. I allowed one finger slide in so I could check her readiness, and I pumped my finger gently deeper. Sanne now had her hand on Ditte's mons Veneris, rubbing her clit, and I could felt fingers stroking the base of my cock and balls which got me to increase the pace. Sanne was now completely taken by my fingers as I added more and pulsed them deep into her pussy, and Ditte who was sucking on her breasts. It was she who had her orgasm first followed swiftly by Ditte, and finally I was able to empty my now rather strained cock into Ditte's pussy. Sanne had left her fingers on Ditte's pussy and this time I pulled my spent cock out all of the way. Sanne reached over and with her other hand felt curiously along my sticky dick.
We were now all three completely exhausted. Ditte was probably the one who was most happy, of all of us. We drank a little and sat down on the couch with Ditte in the middle. Ditte began to tell me that I was the first man since she'd become widowed. She had so clearly had the urge to get fucked, but could not find anyone who felt right. Then she came back to a topic I knew was a little embarrassing for her and even Sanne. The grief was the same for both of them and Sanne had moved to Ditte's large double bed. In the beginning, they often cried together there, in an effort to try to comfort each other. The proximity and caresses were normal but then it happened reached a new level when Sanne fell asleep with her hand across Ditte's breasts. Ditte had become so horny that she had to masturbate. Just as she was about to cum, Sanne had woken up and caressed her breasts a little more intensely, even sucking on her nipples, which got Ditte to cum immediately.
Their overtures came gradually, the next time it was Sanne who masturbated and Ditte who explored what made each of them feel good, and later on they masturbated together. In the shower, they fingered each other and explored each other's bodies, pressing against each other, rubbing breasts and pussies together and fondling each other. It was then that Sanne understood where her own big Venus rock came from. Ditte had declared her childhood. And then it evolved to where naturally they wanted to feel each other and so it ended up with that they also licked each other.
Ditte wondered of course if I thought they were too perverted but I replied that it was up to them, I was open-minded but I felt in no way that I was being pressured by them to feel that way. Sanne was the first to react. She pounced on Ditte, and then hugged me. It was like a heavy burden had lifted and Sanne now started talking about how nice it was with a "real man" in the house. She explained that she was not a virgin, but only had been with boys of her age and they were not as well equipped.
I realized that I would soon get to fuck the young horny girl. My cock responded by getting semi-erect despite all of my previous ejaculations. Sanne sought out my cock, she grabbed it like a handle and lifted it up a little; my whole cock shiny with semen and Ditte's pussy juice. She tried to jerk me off a little as she gazed fixedly on my glans. While she considered what she would do next, Ditte lay low and looked on, curious to see what would happen. She sought my hand and we lay and cuddled a bit. I felt like it was a good sign that now desire was the ruling emotion.
I could feel Sanne's breath against the glans, my cock was now stiff and I hoped that she would dare to taste it. The hand movements stayed up a bit and she did it against her mouth. For anyone who has had a blow job you know the feeling when you feel lips enveloping the glans. With Sanne this feeling was twice as strong. Had I not had ejaculations before I would have sprayed directly. Sanne tasted and licked me like a lollipop, and it was so fantastic to see her discover that it was nice to suck on a big cock. Ditte stroked her head and in the end she could not keep herself quiet, and asked if it was nice. Sanne just nodded in reply and continued to suck, Ditte continued to help her by telling how she should proceed.
Ditte leaned over and started stroking Sanne while my hands caressed Ditte's butt that stuck out at a wonderful angle. My finger slid into her slot and I took the opportunity to rub her ass a little. Apparently, it ignited her as my true beauty sighed and pressed her ass against my finger. I felt that her anus had to wait a little for more attention, since Ditte now also had her attention on my stiff cock and now she was lying so she closely she could watch Sanne sucking me. Sanne wriggled to where she got her ass toward me. I felt a strong desire to explore her pussy up close, so I grabbed her and showed her how to position herself in a 69. Sanne understood what was going on. She did a little show and stood over my head and lowered her pussy down. Is such a great feeling to see a pussy in that position and I became impatient to have her that way, so I grabbed her butt and steered her right. Even Sanne was excited and it made my lust even greater.
Sanne had such a pussy that I loved where the inner labia were small, the hood of her clit parted clearly in front and her clit standing stiff. Her juices tasted wonderful and they gave my horniness an extra boost. Sanne lay down to get back to sucking my dick but I also knew that I was too big for her mouth. It was wonderfully beautiful when both of them licked my cock, and I was close. As I licked Sanne I stuck a finger in her and she then touched me lightly on my hip. She pressed her pussy down against me as if to tell me she wanted more. Then suddenly she lifted herself off, and spun around one turn. She squatted over my cock and I realized it now it was going to happen. Ditte held my cock and guided it towards Sanne's pussy, until the glans arrived at her pussy lips; and when she knew it was in place she was comfortable and slid down to envelope half of my cock.
Her moans were loud and testified to how much she was enjoyed it. Ditte sat and watched my big cock going in and leaned forward and licked Sanna's clit and down against my cock. Sanna felt tight but not so tight as I had guessed she would, and she was not a virgin. She now began a ride that was so lovely, and each time my cock entered her a little further, she began wondering when it would bottom out. As her mother had, so also did Sanne have lovely moans, yet different from her mother's. Ditte realized that there was a vacant mouth and she settled her big tush on me so I could lick her. The whole sight made me so clearly even harder and hornier. My tongue swirled around her clit before I dove in as far as I could go deep into her hole.
I found I could roughly fuck her, which she apparently liked, and her pressure on me increased. I licked up against her anal bow and I tested the situation to see how sensitive she was there. My tongue played and licked there, and I took one finger and started pressing. My thumb rubbed her clit while one finger delved into her anus, and one pumped into her pussy; Ditte could not keep up. Her orgasm washed over her and her juices flowed. My whole face was soaked with pussy juice. Sanne was close too, and I grabbed her hips humping into her, knowing it was bigger and harder and rougher than any of her other guys, and it felt so wonderful as we came together. Ditte and Sanne held each other and I heard them rather than saw them kissing.
They slid down on either side of me and we lay and caressed and snuggled. It was not the best time to realize this, but I now began to contemplate that I had drained myself without protection into two gorgeous pussies; and so then began the anxiety of it all. I asked Ditte, whose answer was to simply smile. Then she let me know that she and Sanne were on the pill. The beauty of this announcement meant that I could relax, and I felt a little drowsy. Even Ditte was a little tired by now, so we decided to take a little nap. However, Sanne's hands were apparently not tired. It felt so nice to be dozing off with two lovely girls on each arm. The whole experience was an early event for me during a very happy period of my life, with lots of wonderful encounters to follow.

Seneca County had calm weather to end the week. It was a much different situation than what the county encountered several days earlier.
The week included a tornado near Kansas Monday, a tornado in Reed Township and high wind throughout the county Wednesday and flooding as the river level increased.
"It was one heck of a week," said Dan Stahl, director of Seneca County Emergency Management Agency.
Stahl said he thought things went well, but people suffered a lot of damage in the county. Nobody was injured, he said.
"All the responses went well," he said.
Stahl said Saturday he did not have any reports of flooding issues or damage from flooding.
"The river's going down," he said.
According to National Weather Service, Sandusky River at Tiffin was experiencing minor flooding Saturday afternoon. It was at 10.26 feet at 2:45 p.m.; flood stage is 9 feet. It was expected to drop to 6 feet by 2 p.m. Monday.
Stahl said he saw some areas in the Charlotte Street area and South Duchess Lane that had some high water Friday. He said he did not get an opportunity to talk to any of the residents, and there could be damage in those areas.
Stahl said a lot of people have debris from Wednesday's storm, and the city and county are taking care of their own area cleanup. He advises people to check with their city or township about cleanup assistance.
By Saturday morning, American Electric Power Ohio had restored power to 95 percent of the customers left without power after Wednesday's storm. In Seneca County, 880 customers remained without power Saturday afternoon.
The local Community Emergency Response Team has completed its assessment in response to the week's weather. Stahl said he is to have it formally typed Monday and will submit it to Ohio EMA.
He said Seneca County is the only county in the area that declared a state of emergency, and he does not know if there will be any funding available.

where is the pic?????
here it is....
she's so sweet. Strange that they don't have nationals covrage on the cover. Glad that Sasha isn't frogotten though!
Thanks TM - I tried to get that link but my computer wouldn't do it.
just go to www.usfsa.org. Scroll down to Skating Magazine. She is wearing the coat. Not her best look, i think we all agree but when dosen't this girl look adorable?
To come back or not come back, that's the question.
I think her hair looks fantastic - the best I've ever seen it - a cascade of healthy brunette waves...nice.
Well, no one commented on the new banner! Nice to see some new faces in US skating
But you'd think they'd follow up on Nats in the Skating magazine rather than choosing something more obscure. When was this issue released? Was it before Nats in late January?
No, the Johnny Weir cover issue was the one to come out right before Nationals in January. Magazines usually get published quite awhile (at least for monthly and bi-monthlies) before they're actually released so they may not have felt they had enough time to get a proper US Nationals cover-type story printed. All depends on when they went to 'print'.
ok, makes sense. thanks.
Still, should turn more to the up-and-comers, IMO. read about Cohen in US weekly
It is official for me, she no longer is "adorable" - Sasha is just Gorgeous / "Hottie," I no longer see "cutesy little Sasha" anymore.
I agree with RD, more mention of new comers would be what I would expect from a skating mag.
To clarify a bit, this issue focused on skaters giving back through charities, etc. So they mentioned Sasha at the Coat the Rink event, Scott Hamilton's CARES program and several other skater's good works. So Sasha got the cover. Next month's issue should have the Nationals coverage. BTW, I too think Sasha looks great!
Joe, thanks for bringing the picture to our attention. Tinymavy, thanks for posting the link. I'm glad she's on the cover, she's a name in the figure skating world and lots of people would recognize her. She is just gorgeous!!!!
I'm wondering why they picked Sasha for the cover. There are skaters who are currently involved in various charities and such, why not feature one of them? Kimmie and her Cool Kids, Gregory & Petukhov with Right to Play are just two that come to mind. I think Kimmie was on the cover recently but as far as I can remember, G&P have never gotten a cover, have they? Sasha's had plenty, lets see someone else for once, someone who is currently competing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Here are five questions facing the Detroit Tigers regarding playing time heading into and out of the All-Star break next week:
Will Victor Martinez play at all this weekend against the Royals?
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Thursday that no final determination has been made regarding whether Martinez will play this weekend. But he did say the All-Star designated hitter is doing much better.
"He felt a lot better today," Ausmus said. "He said this is by far the best he's felt … He's certainly trending in the right direction."
Prediction: Unless Martinez feels great Friday, the Tigers will be extra careful with him and will not use him this weekend. Not playing him prior to the four-day All-Star break would give him an extended period to rest and rehabilitate.
Will Martinez play in the All-Star Game?
Again, Ausmus said no final determination has been made.
Prediction: No. He won't.
Will Rick Porcello be a late addition to the AL All-Star team?
There are always last-second replacements added to the All-Star team. Just like Koji Uehara replaced Masahiro Tanaka on the roster this week, other moves could be made.
Prediction: No. There are a handful of pitchers who are still not on the team who have better overall numbers than Porcello. Unless three or four pitchers need to be replaced, Porcello won't make the team.
How will the rotation stack up coming out of the break?
Ausmus said that the rotation will not be set in stone until after the All-Star Game and will be based in part on how much Max Scherzer pitches -- if at all -- Tuesday night in the All-Star Game.
"We can't really finalize it until we see if Scherzer throws in the game," Ausmus said. "There's a chance Scherzer could throw the first game back. He could throw the second game back. It becomes dependent on that."
Prediction: Scherzer will pitch an inning in the All-Star Game and start July 19 in a doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians. How about the rest of the rotation?
- July 18: Justin Verlander or Anibal Sanchez. (Ausmus could go with Verlander based on the fact that this would allow him to pitch on his normal amount of rest.)
- July 19 (DH): Scherzer and a call-up from Triple-A Toledo.
- July 20: Porcello. (Ausmus has tried to keep Porcello and Drew Smyly split up this season.
- July 21: Verlander or Sanchez.
- July 22: Smyly.
Who will start the other game of the doubleheader against the Indians?
The Tigers will need to promote someone from the minors to pitch in the doubleheader against the Indians.
Prediction: This seems like a gimme. Robbie Ray. If he makes his next start on a normal four days of rest, he will start Saturday, exactly seven days before the Tigers need him. But the Triple-A All-Star break is next week, too, so the Tigers and Mud Hens have plenty of time to make an adjustment to get Ray ready.
Ray is 5-3 with a 3.15 ERA in 14 games (13 starts) for the Mud Hens. He has had some control issues recently. Ray has issued 21 walks in 40 1/3 innings in his past nine starts and has seen his WHIP climb to 1.40 for the season.

I have much better control with nuts now. I think as your primal eating becomes habit and lifestyle you will find your cumplusive eating diminishes.
I have been following PB since the first of the year. I had been flour/sugar free for many months before that. I love eating primal because I feel so good and I do not have cravings and have had no binges. Giving up sugar and flour 100% has killed the cravings. I am eating a lot of good, healthy fats. Now, for the first time, I am having a real problem with nuts. I have sworn off all but macadamia nuts, but I seem to have the old problem of not stopping once I start. There is no other primal food that seems to be a trigger like the old carbs were. Does this ever go away or am I going to have to just abstain from nuts because of my compulsive overeating? Has anyone conquered this?

The more I see the less I know for sure.
-John Lennon
If you are eating the roasted and salted nuts, it is probably the salt. Salt gives most people a problem since we are geared by evolution for the salt as well as carbs. I found that if I only buy the raw nuts I do not over eat them. I also have to avoid the nut flours for that is a concentration of nuts that can be easily over-done, too. Some of us just have to watch out for anything that triggers cravings. I can't eat butternut squash which is by all measures a good primal food, but I can easily eat too much and create the craving cycle. It's a bummer, but not so much in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah I can eat an entire thing (whatever units of measure, it doesn't matter) of macadamia nuts in one sitting. One "serving" of macadamia nuts is about ... Oh ... Two whole nuts. Depressing.
It sometimes helps me to not eat directly out of the "thing" and instead take a reasonable amount and put it in a separate dish
To insure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life. - William Londen
I have a little tin box that the California Almond Marketing Board sent me years ago. It holds one ounce of nuts, perfect for a purse snack. I refill it whenever it's empty and never get stuck somewhere without a decent hold-me-over snack. Great car food, too.
Here's the tin: Purchase Your Almond Tin Today!
I try not to eat macademias or any other nuts at home, as it's too easy to overeat them. If I do, I will usually use my tin even at home, just for the portion control.
I have to measure out what I'm going to eat. Even if I'm getting them in the shell, I still have to make myself stop. It's the yummy factor.
Evolutionary. Ideology that fits biology
If you've got primal eating wired you shouldn't need to snack. Most snacking is habit rather than hunger. Save the nuts for sechuan stirfries and the like.
Before primal I would have to take a snack with me whenever I went fishing from my kayak, having had breakfast. Now I go out without breakfast and no snacks. No hunger and a great way to IF
Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.
Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine
Thanks for all the suggestions. Primal really has stopped the snacking. I bought a huge bag from Amazon and that may be the problem....an enormous quantity in the house. The problem seems to be if I get out a few to put in a salad or stirfry, I eat another serving as I drop in a few. And a serving is so small. The big bag is now in the freezer and I will have to handle with care.

HOLLAND, MI -- The family of a Holland native and U.S. Marine killed in combat in Afghanistan will receive the Silver Star Medal in his honor on the second anniversary of his death.
Gunnery Sgt. Daniel Price, 27, was killed July 29, 2012, during his sixth tour while serving in Operation Enduring Freedom.
His wife, Rachel Price, invites the public to join the 1 p.m. ceremony Tuesday at Central Wesleyan Church, 446 W. 40th St. in Holland.
The Silver Star Medal is the third-highest military combat decoration that can be awarded to a member of the United States Armed Forces.
Rachel Price, who lives in Holland, said the military contacted her a few months ago regarding the award. She thought the anniversary of his death would be a fitting day to honor him.
"I kind of wanted to do it on this date just because it's always going to be that bad date in my head, but at least there's something good from it," she said.
Daniel Price, whose decorations include a Bronze Star with combat V and Purple Heart, would likely think the Silver Star is "no big deal," his wife said, recalling when he told her not to attend the Bronze Star ceremony.
"Dan was very humble. He never was about awards or anything else," Rachel Price said.
Daniel Price enlisted in the Marines in 2003 and served three tours in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and three tours to Afghanistan to support Operation Enduring Freedom. He was in the 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, based at Camp Pendleton.
Thousands of people in August 2012 lined Holland's streets for his funeral at Central Wesleyan Church.
Daniel Price is remembered as a man of faith who never hesitated to help fellow Marines.

Titles on line at Lake Erie Speedway
GREENFIELD TOWNSHIP -- Champions will be crowned in Saturday night's season finale at Lake Erie Speedway -- rain or shine.
Track officials will make a final attempt to complete the final points event of the 2013 season, which was postponed because of rain Sept. 7, although storms are in the forecast for that day. Leaders in four divisions -- Scott Wylie (Modifieds), Jeremy Haudricourt (Legends), Dan Bittinger (Compacts) and Matt Mead (Bandoleros) -- will be declared champions if rain washes out the event. David Krawczyk, of West Seneca, N.Y., already has clinched the Street Stocks title.
The most intriguing title chase is in Legends, where 14 points separate the top three drivers. Haudricourt, of Bliss, N.Y., leads Jake Lutz, of Hamburg, N.Y., by seven points. Mill Village native Brandon DeBrakeleer, the two-time defending champion, is another seven points back in third. Wylie, of Blasdell, N.Y., has a four-point lead over North East native Randy Culver in Modifieds. Mead, an Erie native, enters the final Bandoleros feature with a six-point edge over Corry's Donald Buell. Dan Bittinger, of Forestville, N.Y., has a seemingly comfortable 46-point lead over Jeff Breads, of Westfield, N.Y., in Compacts.
Track officials are offering a special ticket promotion as part of Fan Appreciation Night. Free general admission will be granted to all fans with used or unused tickets from any previous LES event this season. Gates open at 5 p.m., with heat races to follow at 6 p.m. Features are set to begin at 7:05 p.m.

Bridget Jones' Diary: The Edge of Reason
My god, why do I like this film so much? What the hell is wrong with me?
Was that really it? Will wondered. Was that what they were all doing, looking for someone less different? Was that what he was doing? Rachel was dynamic and thoughtful and focused and caring and different in more ways than he could count, but the whole point of Rachel, as far as Will was concerned, was that she wasn't him. There was a flaw in Katrina's logic, then. This thing about looking for someone less different ... It only really worked, he realised, if you were convinced that being you wasn't so bad in the first place.

First time watching it. I prefer the first one coz they didn't have much SFX back then.
Daddy was like thinking where the chick came from. I was like, "In Time?" then checked Google. My guess was right XDD I only guessed coz it looked similar to Amanda's hairdo XD nya~

Last movie watched was It Takes A Man And A Woman.
It's a cheesy filipino film all right, and so typical to include some romance bullpucky in it.
The last one I watched was The Dark Crystal, a Jim Henson film. All I can say is, how did Henson think of THIS?!
Watched The Grey last night. Had it's flaws, but it was great on the emotional side of things.
1st X run:
Fast and Furious 6
Mindless fun with great action sequences. Not the best film ever made but then again it never set out to be.
Credits to Sworn Metalhead for the awesome banner!
Still love this movie, very nostalgic for me.

in the last week saw fast and furious 6 which was ridiculous, yet annoyingly enjoyable.
Also watched at home Jerry Maguire, Good Will Hunting, and A Few Good Men. All 3 of which were fantastic, especially Good Will Hunting.
Last movie watched was Once Upon A Time In Mexico.

Escaflowne: The Movie
Now that I've been watching the series, I can spot the differences between the anime and the movie. The movie is vastly different, of course, but it does work as its own story--though knowing the source material helps a bit. I got the movie when I was thirteen, I had never heard of Escaflowne before, so I went in with no knowledge of its source material, and I loved it. I still love it, it's got beautiful animation, and the story flows fairly nicely. Sure, most of the characters who are important characters of the show are pushed to the side, but the movie really focuses on Van and Hitomi, so it kinda makes some sense. Either way, I enjoy it very much. The soundtrack is gorgeous, and is one of the reasons why the movie's so memorable to me.
It also was my brother's first time watching it, I believe, so at least he stayed awake through it all. He apparently liked it, but I doubt it's on the same level as what I thought of it at his age. Aw well. He's been getting into anime anyway, so might as well help expand his list.

So glad it was easy to follow, cause I've liked the previous movies yet usually found it hard to know what's going on. Plenty of action and suspense and likable characters. Not my favorite franchise, but the best one I think by far.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has produced dramatic reductions in morbidity and mortality rates associated with HIV-1 infection in the United States (1–2). In clinical trials, combinations of protease inhibitors, nucleoside analogues, and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors have reduced plasma HIV-1 RNA levels to less than 500 copies/mL in 60% to 90% of patients (3–7). However, such therapy involves complicated dosing schedules, side effects in a substantial number of patients, and a high degree of adherence to maintain viral suppression (3–4, 8). Given these difficulties, it has become evident that HAART may be considerably less successful outside of the clinical trial setting (9). Before HAART, reports showed lower survival rates among ethnic minority groups, women, injection drug users, and persons in lower socioeconomic groups with HIV infection (10–12). The effect of demographic differences on the success of HAART is unclear.

An Oklahoma City Council committee will review a proposal to put restrictions on ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft.
Cars that are used to transport app users would have to go through certain inspections and drivers would have to go through background checks, have proof of insurance and even get an Oklahoma state driver's license.
"It'll definitely make sure they're getting in the car with a safe person," said Brandon McGraw with Thunder Cab. "It'll make sure that they're insured and that they're you know, an actual cab driver and not just somebody driving a car. Anybody can drive a car."
If the changes pass violating any of the requirements would be considered a criminal offense.

By Tom Haydon and Kelly Heyboer/The Star-Ledger
NEW BRUNSWICK — Last year, Gov. Chris Christie nominated Martin Perez to the Rutgers Board of Governors, calling the Latino activist and attorney "an excellent addition" to the university's leadership.
Nearly 18 months later, Perez's nomination is still stuck in the state Senate.
A coalition of Latino community groups and Rutgers student organizations say a group of Democratic lawmakers led by state Sen. Bob Smith (D-Middlesex) are using senatorial courtesy to hold up Perez's appointment for political reasons.
Thursday, the groups launched a two-week campaign, urging supporters to e-mail and phone Smith daily demanding Perez's appointment.
"We've been grappling with this for 18 months," said Maria Teresa Feliciano, vice president of the Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey, the group Perez heads. "We find it a little shocking that the Democratic Party is blocking this since they benefited from the Latino population in the (election)."
Smith did not respond to requests to comment.
In September, he denied he was blocking Perez's nomination for political reasons.
"We got a package of background information that raises concerns," Smith said at the time, declining to elaborate.
Perez also did not return repeated phone calls to his office to comment Thursday.
Perez, who is also a New Brunswick attorney, has clashed with local Democrats in the past. His wife, attorney Patricia Bombelyn, challenged James Cahill, New Brunswick's longtime mayor, in a hotly contested Democratic primary two years ago.
Perez also sided with Republicans last year in the debate over redrawing New Jersey's legislative districts.
Rutgers officials declined to comment on the stalled nomination.
Perez was supposed to help diversify Rutgers' top governing board, which currently has white males in nine of its 11 seats. Members of the board set tuition, choose Rutgers' president and oversee the nearly 60,000-student state university.
Under the Rutgers Board of Governor's rules, five members are appointed by the Rutgers Board of Trustees and six are nominated by the governor with the approval of the state Senate.
If appointed, Perez would serve a six-year term, replacing former Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts Jr.
Perez is the latest gubernatorial nominee ensnared in the controversial practice of senatorial courtesy. The unwritten rule allows state senators to block appointments of anyone living in their county or district, including judges, cabinet officials and board members.
Senators are not required to explain why they are blocking a nomination, making it difficult to tell if appointments are being held hostage for political reasons. In recent months, the nomination of former Attorney General Paula Dow to a Superior Court judgeship and the appointment of Christopher Cerf as state education commissioner were delayed for months by senatorial courtesy.

Hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30. Be aware that MD Anderson buildings, facilities and garages are not designated shelter areas and are not available to house family members or pets during an emergency.
An expected or approaching hurricane will activate the following additional severity-level actions. See universal severity level actions for all emergencies.
Severity Level 1 – Hurricane enters Gulf of Mexico
Severity Level 2 – Hurricane 48 hours out. Hurricane Ride-Out Team may be released to secure personal property.
Severity Level 3 – Hurricane 36 hours out. Hurricane Ride-Out Team may be released to secure personal property, if not released at Level 2. Essential personnel are released when the Hurricane Ride-Out Team has taken over operations.
Severity Level 4 – Hurricane 24 hours out or makes landfall in Houston/Galveston area. Essential personnel are released—only in the event of a hurricane—once Hurricane Ride-Out Team members have taken over operations of the institution.
Recovery – The Incident Officer declares when it is safe for the institution to begin recovery mode. Recovery Team members should report to their managers or sub-command centers to start or assist with Recovery operations.
Institutional escalation to Severity Levels 2 and 3 could change if the City of Houston mandates early evacuation. The institution could move to a Level 2 and Level 3 earlier than 36-48 hours out if mandatory evacuations seem probable. In that event, decisions by the Triage Officer for level escalation will be dictated by decisions from the mayor.

Apparently quarterback Mark Sanchez wasn't joking when he told reporters this preseason that the Jets were saving their touchdowns for the regular season. Following a three-game preseason touchdown drought, Gang Green's offense exploded for 48 points on Sunday afternoon against the Buffalo Bills, setting a new franchise-record for points scored in a regular season opener.
The Jets wasted little time in leading a spectacular scoring barrage building a 27-7 halftime lead and coasted to a 48-28 opening day victory. While Tebow dominated the offseason headlines, it was Sanchez who stole the show on Sunday completing 19 of 27 pass attempts for 266 yards three touchdowns and just one interception.
With 6:02 left in the first-quarter, Sanchez connected with second-year wide receiver Jeremy Kerley for the first touchdown of the year, bringing a sellout crowd to its feet. For an encore performance, Kerley returned Brian Moorman's punt 66-yards for a touchdown with 12:40 remaining in the first half and in doing so became the first player in Jets' history to record a receiving touchdown and punt return touchdown in the same game.
Rookie wide receiver Stephen Hill hauled in two-touchdowns in his debut as the Jets' lit up the scoreboard at Metlife Stadium.
The New York Jets travel to the Steel City to face the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday with kickoff set for 4:25pm.
