HPV infection in HIVinfected men who have sex with men and correlation with HHV8 shedding
Abstract number: O503
Parisi S., Boldrin C., Scaggiante R., Cruciani M., Andreis S., Barelli A., Pagni S., Dal Bello F., Palù G.
Objectives: To evaluate HPV genotypes circulation and persistence over time in different sampling sites among HIV(+) men who have sex with men (MSM) (pts) and correlations with HHV8 oral shedding.
Methods: Samples obtained from rectal mucosa- (RS), pharyngeal-swabs (PhS) and saliva of 118 pts from December 2007 to December 2008 were studied. After 6 mo, samples were collected again. Amplification products were sequenced by in-house method using ABI PRISM 3130 XL. HHV8 oral shedding was tested by Real-Time in-house method.
Results: HPV was found in 97 (82%) of RS: 9 pts had multiple HPV-genotypes, and 82 pts a single genotype or an identified type with a co-infection with other not-identified types [32 (39%) High-Risk genotypes (HR) 11 HPV-16, 1 HPV-18, 2 HPV-33, 1 HPV-53, 6 HPV-58, 11 HPV-66-; 42 Low Risk genotypes (LR) 12 HPV-6, 6 HPV-11, 1 HPV-40, 7 HPV-61, 5 HPV-70, 2 HPV-72, 4 HPV-81, 5 HPV-83, and 8 other types]. 2 pts had amplification products not further analysable, 4 typing are ongoing and 21 pts were negative.
After 6 mo, 56/58 RS (+) re-tested were found still positive; 27 pts with LR/HR-RS still harboured the same genotype; 2 LR became negative; 5/9 RS-negative became positive, 3 with HR-HPV.
Among 71 PhS evaluated, 17 (24%) were positive (5 HR-HPV), 15 with concurrent RS (+), often with a different genotype.
81% of pts receiving antiretroviral therapy (66% of total) and 90% of naive pts (34% of total) were found RS(+). No significant differences were observed in HR-HPV prevalence among these groups.
92 pts were evaluated for oral HHV8 shedding. 12 pts were HHV8(-)/RS-HPV-neg, 55 HHV8(-)/RS-HPV(+) and 25 (27%) HHV8(+)/RS-HPV(+); 12 associated with HR/LR-HPV. 66% of HHV8-pos were HIV treated.
Conclusions: A high prevalence of HPV infection was found in RS from HIV(+) MSM, with HR/LR types in at least 76% of positive RS and in 61% in the entire cohort, irrespective of HAART treatment. Moreover, the persistence over 6 mo of the same HPV-types in RS was commonly observed, together with HPV infection in pharynx. HHV8 oral shedding was correlated with HPV infection. These findings suggest a possible multiple source of acquisition and spreading of HPV to sexual and non-sexual contacts. Careful survey for HPV and HHV8 infection should be carry out in HIV-MSM, a population at high risk of developing HPV- and HHV8-related cancers. These co-infections suggest repeated sexual unprotected contacts.

Part 3 in a developing series of in-depth analysis by Dr. Jeff Fuller (See part 1 and part 2)
I was saving this to be the final part in this series, but Romney's comments over the weekend in New Hampshire made it instantly timely and relevant to this on-going discussion.
Politico got the headline right, "Mitt Romney's Prescription for ObamaCare: Repeal it." I recommend reading or watching Mitt's speech to the Carroll County GOP group in their entirety, but some specific comments stick out:
Obamacare has to be repealed and the other programs have to be made sustainable. . . . If we re-shape each of these programs today, and repeal Obamacare, we can honor our promises to seniors, and protect our economy as well. . . . At every turn, he and his fellow liberals sought to seize more power for Washington. And in that cause, nothing was more misguided and egregious than Obamacare!
Living in New Hampshire, you've heard of our healthcare program next door in Massachusetts. You may have noticed that the President and his people spend more time talking about me and Massachusetts healthcare than Entertainment Tonight spends talking about Charlie Sheen [link to part 1 in this series documenting all the "attention" Mitt's been getting from the White House on Health Care]. Our approach was a state plan intended to address problems that were in many ways unique to Massachusetts. What we did was what the Constitution intended for states to do—we were one of the laboratories of democracy.
Our experiment wasn't perfect—some things worked, some didn't, and some things I'd change. One thing I would never do is to usurp the constitutional power of states with a one-size-fits-all federal takeover.
I would repeal Obamacare, if I were ever in a position to do so.
My experience has taught me that states are where healthcare programs for the uninsured should be crafted, just as the Constitution provides. Obamacare is bad law, bad policy, and it is bad for America's families.
Can Romney be trusted to keep this campaign promise? Some skeptics will never be satisfied, but I challenge any reader to point out an actual instance where Romney broke his campaign promises as Governor of Massachusetts (should be pretty darn easy to do for someone who flips and flops with the political winds, eh?). Yes, Romney has a record of keeping campaign promises and can be trusted to keep this one.
And Romney's been consistant in his opposition to ObamaCare and calling for it's repeal. Immediately after passage, Romney called for it's repeal, citing procedural and substantive reasons:
America has just witnessed an unconscionable abuse of power. President Obama has betrayed his oath to the nation — rather than bringing us together, ushering in a new kind of politics, and rising above raw partisanship, he has succumbed to the lowest denominator of incumbent power: justifying the means by extolling the ends. He promised better; we deserved better.
He calls his accomplishment "historic" — in this he is correct, although not for the reason he intends. Rather, it is an historic usurpation of the legislative process — he unleashed the nuclear option, enlisted not a single Republican vote in either chamber, bribed reluctant members of his own party, paid-off his union backers, scapegoated insurers, and justified his act with patently fraudulent accounting. What Barack Obama has ushered into the American political landscape is not good for our country; in the words of an ancient maxim, "what starts twisted, ends twisted."
His health-care bill is unhealthy for America. It raises taxes, slashes the more private side of Medicare, installs price controls, and puts a new federal bureaucracy in charge of health care. It will create a new entitlement even as the ones we already have are bankrupt. For these reasons and more, the act should be repealed. That campaign begins today.
In May 2009, as Obama and congress were barrelling towards a health care reform bill, Romney offered 6 points of advice in an op-ed, the last of which was:
Center reforms at the state level. Open the door to state plans designed to meet the various needs of their citizens. Before imposing a one-size-fits-all federal program, let the states serve as "the laboratories of democracy."
In a very informative and extensive interview Romney held with Human Events Online in July 2009, headlined as "Romney Attacks ObamaCare" he says of the President's plan:
It's filled with so many defects it's hard to know where exactly to begin. . . . President Obama, out of an apparent desire to score a victory, is not willing to give health care the deliberative process it deserves. . . . [And he says regarding the "public option"] It's a bad idea and should be rejected.
Romney also penned an Op-Ed in the USA Today in July 2009 entitled "Mr President, What's the Rush?"
Fast-forwarding a bit, on April 7th 2010, at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College in Manchester, Romney said:
Had they brought the federal bill to my desk when I was governor, I'd have vetoed it," . . . "We solved a problem in the state with a state answer," Romney said. "We didn't have the federal government come in and intrude on the rights of states." . . . Romney said the federal government created its plan without learning from Massachusetts or any other state. "It shouldn't have been put in place without experimentation,"
Jumping back to the last presidential election primary, in Jan, 2008, all of the major GOP nominee's (including Romney) were against a federal healthcare plan:
Giuliani, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, and Thompson are all opposed to health care reform measures that incorporate universal coverage. Tax breaks, high deductible plans, consumerism – all are fine, but no GOP presidential candidates support universal coverage.
Even waaaaaay back in 1993-4, Romney was against a federal "Government Takeover of Health Care" . . . which, at the time, was known as HillaryCare. For completeness sake, Romney also opposed HillaryCare 2.0 in 2007.
Recent headlines are starting to see the forest for the trees. In an article titled "Voters: 'RomneyCare' not fatal" New Hampshire's Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley wisely opined:
"People get it. … They know he is opposed to Obamacare. That's the bottom line."
I would only add to the "bottom line" that, not only is Romney opposed to ObamaCare, he will work towards and sign a repeal of the law as one of his first actions as our new President. You can take that one to the bank.
UPDATE: Two weeks after this posting, Romney has upped the ante on his rejection of ObamaCare and his willingness to fight for it's repeal. In a brief National Review Online Op-ed on March 22nd entitled "If I Were President: ObamaCare, One Year in" he brought up a new angle that I hadn't considered:
If I were president, on Day One I would issue an executive order paving the way for Obamacare waivers to all 50 states. The executive order would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services and all relevant federal officials to return the maximum possible authority to the states to innovate and design health-care solutions that work best for them.
As I have stated time and again, a one-size-fits-all national plan that raises taxes is simply not the answer. Under our federalist system, the states are "laboratories of democracy." They should be free to experiment. By the way, what works in one state may not be the answer for another. Of course, the ultimate goal is to repeal Obamacare and replace it with free-market reforms that promote competition and lower health-care costs. But since an outright repeal would take time, an executive order is the first step in returning power to the states.
Powerful, pragmatice leadership, with both experience and foresight. That's what our country needs in the White House, and that's what Mitt Romney has in spades!
-Jeff Fuller, M.D.
*Stay Tuned: Future installments will address topics of 1) Federalism, 2) Mandates, 3) Whether or not RomneyCare is a "success", and 4) a head to head comparison of RomneyCare vs ObamaCare. Previous installment titles: "Mitt Romney vs. Health Care: 'The Problem' (Or is it?)"and "Mitt Romney vs. Health Care: Why RomneyCare Makes Mitt the BEST Nominee to Face Obama"

The Psychology of Colour
Posted by admin in Home Decors, House and Home, House Tips, Interior Design on 17-11-2012
When people take on the task of decorating their house, often they don't look into the feelings created by their colour choice. The psychology of colour is the study of the effects on feelings from different colours. People often choose their favourite colour for their favourite room, but what if your favourite colour created feeling of anxiety when used in excess.
Here is a guide to help you chose the right colour for your home decorating.
There are many variations of the colour red such as burgundy, maroon, crimson and scarlet, all of which have slightly different effects on our behaviour and mood. But the general conscientious for red is PASSION. If you are lacking a bit of "something" in the bedroom, the introduction of red curtains, cushions, bedding or a floor rug might help get the senses going but be warned, too much red can influence negative emotions such as anger. Red is a colour that brings up vivid emotions so should be used sparingly (someone should have warned Christian Grey).
Orange is the colour of SOCIAL COMMUNICATION, two way conversation and thinking. Orange is one of these few colours that has truly positive effects on emotion, it is optimistic, uplifting and rejuvenating. Orange is used in restaurants in the form of peach or terracotta as its ability to keep people talking. Warm orange colours in the dining room area will promote a healthy, stimulated conversation over the dinner table.
The official colour of INTELLECT and the mind, Yellow offers hope, optimism and original thought. Yellow helps with clear thinking and quick decision making and is related to the mind, not the heart. Cream is seen as a shade of yellow and is very popular in home décor, particularly new homes; it promotes new ideas and a clean start. On the other end of the spectrum, bright yellow and too much of it has been linked to suicide and increases our sensitivity to criticism. Yellow would be ideal in the form of curtains or décor in a home office to promote original thinking and intellect.
The colour green is closely regarded as the colour of HARMONY, balance and growth. It is the balance between the heart and the emotions creating the equilibrium between head and heart. Green is the colour of prosperity and wealthy, I don't think it is a coincidence the Dollar is green.Although. too much green can have a negative effect on our emotions in the form of the green eyed monster, envy. Green can be suited to the hallway in creating an inviting and harmonious entrance to the house and creating a balanced environment for people to step into.
Blue is the colour of TRUST, reliability and responsibility. The colour blue promotes a calming control and organisation to an area. Imagine the calm feeling we get when we lay on our backs in a garden and stare up at a clear blue sky. Blue is the most universally liked colour due to its feeling of honesty but its ability to slows the metabolism makes it a less than ideal choice for the kitchen. Shades of blue are seen as nostalgic, predictable and calming which makes it perfect for the living room or family room. Deeper shades of blue and emphasis the nostalgia and can be used in the form of cushions, curtains, throw rugs or lamp shades.
The colour purple or violet has positive effects on the IMAGINATION and spirituality. Purple inspires creativity and originality. Purple is also closely related to royalty, wealthy and luxury. It sounds like the perfect colour for every room and every object but be warned, too much and it can bring out negative feelings in those susceptible to depression and stress. Small additions of purple in the living room or children's play area will inspire the imagination and get those mental juices running.
Pink is a mixture of red and white and is the colour of unconditional love and NURTURING. Pink is intuitive and thoughtful, showing tenderness and kindness. Studies have shown that exposure to vast amounts of pink can have a calming effects on the nerves but at the expense of weakened physical ability. Pink is a non-threatening colour that is best suited in the bedroom; it creates a relaxing, nurturing, and reassuring environment. It is very feminine when used excessively but the positive effects can out weight the negatives if used appropriately.Be warned girls, excessive pink in clothing can indicate a need for acceptance and support within a group.
The colour white is seen as PURE, innocent and wholesome. It also paints a picture of cleanliness and sterile. White gives the feeling of space and so using white in smaller rooms also has the benefit of added space, small rooms such as bathrooms or bedrooms would benefit from white décor. White walls can create the feeling of space and purity and allow for the addition of other colours to brighten the room and create other feelings.

More than 100 area motorcyclists participated Sunday in the second Great Armadillo Hunt and Click benefiting Martha's Home.
The photo scavenger hunt required participants to collect points by visiting as many of the 50 designated photo locations as possible.
Participants departed Sunset Center in two waves armed with maps and 4 hours of travel time.
Some locations were as far away as Borger, so participants had to decide on the best locations to gain the most points in a short time.
"We choose landmarks outside of Amarillo up to a 50-mile radius," said Mary Kay Kuhrts, development director for Martha's Home
After the bikers returned, the photos were looked through, points were added, and the top four with the best time and points were given handmade prizes.
The event is modeled after the Hearts of Texas Rally, a long-distance bike scavenger hunt started by James and Karen Stovall, who donate half the proceeds of the rally to charity.
The couple is originally from Amarillo and wanted to do something to help an area charity, and because Karen had volunteered for Martha's Home, they brought the idea to them.
"I really believe in their vision and what they strive for," Stovall said. "We want people to be aware of Martha's Home and the services there for women in need."
Funds are raised through registration fees and sponsorships.
At the start of the hunt, $4,500 had been raised in sponsorships alone, and about 150 bikers were expected.
The event ended with an after party at Sunset Center with free food and games for all the participants.
Kuhrts said food was donated and they expected to feed nearly 400 people.

Shark alarms surfers and beachgoers at Doheny
DANA POINT – For John Garbino, it was the sight of a lifetime: a baby great white shark thrashing in the surf trying to get back out to sea.
Garbino, 43, had just come out of the water after a twilight surf session at Doheny Beach on Wednesday when he saw something gray and white struggling in the surf.
"I was thinking 'Is that a Mako or a tiger shark?' " Garbino said. "We walked over, and it looked just like a baby great white. It was struggling, and it was kind of sad (for me.) With so many surfers in the water, it was a dichotomy; you don't want to release it back but you don't want it to die."
Garbino said about 30 people were watching the shark that was about 3 feet long and about 50 pounds. Finally, Garbino said, a surfer grabbed it by its belly and tail and took it out to deeper water.
Garbino posted a video of the struggling shark on YouTube. The video received lots of attention in the surf community and has beachgoers anxious about weekend plans.
But Kirk Schoonover, a lifeguard at Doheny State Beach, said there is no reason for alarm. He said the shark was not a baby great white but a salmon shark.
"Everybody mistakes them as great whites because they have the same shape and color," he said. "The difference is the teeth. The salmon shark has jagged and thin teeth. On a great white, you have a definite triangular-shaped tooth."
Schoonover said salmon sharks are more common farther up the California coast but occasionally make it down here. Last year, two were seen in Huntington Beach.
They prefer colder waters and normally swim in water at least 200 feet deep, Schoonover said. Likely, the recent drop in water temperature from 75 to 62 might explain why it was in this area feeding on squid.
Schoonover said the shark drew lots of attention but was not dangerous to swimmers or surfers, though it concerned lots of people.
A former state lifeguard who is an avid spear fisherman and marine biologist identified it as a salmon shark. He was the surfer who ended up grabbing it by its tail and belly and taking it back out to sea, Schoonover said.
Garbino said when he took pictures home to his four children, he told them it was a rubber shark.
"They're always asking me if there are sharks in the water, and I didn't want them to be scared," he said.
Now, he's a little disappointed.
"I kind of hoped it would have been a great white," Garbino said. "In my lifetime, I may never get to see one."

After seven games, the Steelers sit at 4-3 and are one game behind first-place Baltimore in the AFC North. The Steelers are riding a two-game winning streak and have drastically improved after some very questionable losses early in the season.
Each position has contributed somehow to the way this season has unfolded. Here is how I see each position grading out after seven weeks of Steelers football.

Delivery Man is a Vince Vaughn comedy about an irresponsible oaf who discovers that his sperm donations for money through the years resulted in 533 children he never knew he had.
He learns that "his" children are reaching out to break the anonymity of his donations, just as his girlfriend (Cobie Smulders) tells him she is pregnant. We have the makings of a charming "Time to grow up and be responsible" comedy.
And that is exactly what Delivery Man is.
To play meat-truck driver David, the son of a New York butcher, Vaughn tones down the manic patter that made him famous and reaches for the heartstrings. David is the guy on whom his dad (Andrzej Blumenfeld) and siblings can't count. He is always late, always letting people down, always trying to get rich quick through some harebrained scheme.
David is in debt up to his eyeballs when the scary lawyer from the fertility clinic arrives. David's offspring are suing to find their biological father.
He needs a lawyer. Slovenly, overwhelmed father of four Brett (Chris Pratt of The Five-Year Engagement) is his pal and his last hope.
Then David makes the fateful decision to look at the profiles of the children suing him and stumble anonymously into their lives.
Delivery Man, based on the more charming French Canadian comedy Starbuck, is a roller-coaster ride through the lives of the children — both thriving (a pro basketball player) and struggling (a street musician, a bartender-actor). Writer-director Ken Scott, who also made the original film, deftly recycles the exultant highs and touching lows as David cheers on his Knicks-star son like a proud papa and saves his overdosing daughter.
"They need me," David says to Brett. "They need a guardian angel."
The film plays up David's innate good-heartedness, and happy accidents allow him to make a difference in the lives of his children. But he also gets a taste of the tough side of parenting.
The story is about growing up, showing compassion and learning to be someone people can depend on and love. Vaughn gives the scenes just enough heart to work, although the biggest moments were both bigger and better-played by his predecessor, Patrick Huard, in Starbuck.
And a fit and trim Vaughn strips away some of the lumpy-loser-transformed-into-dad character arc that Huard lent to David.
The supporting cast is a bit skimpy on comedic charisma. Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) has little to play aside from being a gorgeous woman for whom it is worth becoming a better man. Pratt is mildly amusing but never in much danger of upstaging Vaughn.

|Cross List with LAW 397M
This course fulfills requirements for the following specialization(s):
Description: This course will examine the correct (useful) way to define the concept "the impact of a choice on economic efficiency," the economically-efficient approach to take to predicting or postdicting the economic efficiency of any private or governmental choice, the relevance of the economic efficiency of a choice to its justness or moral desirability (rights-considerations aside), and the relevance of the economic efficiency of an interpretation or application of the law to its correctness as a matter of law. The course will also criticize canonical writings that articulate or manifest conclusions on these matters that differ from the Lecturer's. Although several weeks of the course will be devoted to the definitional and relevance issues, the majority of the course will address the economically efficient way to predict or postdict the economic efficiency of a choice in an economy that inevitably contains large numbers of Pareto imperfections of all types and uses resources in a large number of ways. More specifically, the course will consider in detail the negative implications of The General Theory of Second Best for the way in which economists approach economic-efficiency analysis and develop and apply two so-called distortion-analysis approaches to economic-efficiency analysis that the Lecturer believes respond defensibly to the interconnections whose importance Second-Best Theory highlights. No background in economics, moral philosophy, or jurisprudence will be presupposed, though students without such backgrounds will have to work harder in the sections of the course to which these fields are relevant. There will be a mid-term (TBA) as well as a final examination (12/17).

Things I'm Reading Thursday #1
Remember Things I Love Thursday? You should do — it was a regular feature on ONS for a whole year! TiLT is a big blogosphere phenomenon and I loved trying my hand at it, but a while ago I decided to quit and move onto something more relevant to this blog. I've been scratching my head over it for ages and then finally came up with this: Things I'm Reading Thursday. I now plan to let you all know what I'm reading each week (even if that happens to be nothing — yes, I promise I'll be honest), and I hope you lot will jump on the bandwagon too. I'm always on the lookout for book recs, so let me know what you've read recently too. OK? Here goes, then…
Alex Cross' Trial, by James Patterson
Well, a weird book to start on… because it's one I'd never, ever, ever pick up off a bookshelf in a million years, under normal circumstances. But right now I'm doing some work that requires me to read such… stuff, if you can believe it, so I had no choice.
I'm pretty sure this is the worst book I've ever read. And I've read some bad, bad books. To add insult to injury, Patterson holds the record for the highest number of US Bestseller novels by the same author (51 so far), and is rumoured to be worth more than any other living fiction writer. I was aware of his fame and fortune before I started the book, so expected that he'd at least be able to string a decent plot together (a la John Grisham, for example). Apparently, that was a rather silly assumption.
I won't do a character assassination on the book because hey, clearly millions of people love his work (this just in: yes, a million people can be — and are — wrong), and I'd literally be here ALL DAY. Apparently Stephen King once said that all Patterson writes are "dopey thrillers." Having read the first half (yeah, I gave up. Well, I say 'gave up'… I mean 'threw it across the room') of Alex Cross' Trial, I'd be inclined to agree.
Strangers by Anita Brookner
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I have never heard of Anita Brookner, yet in her thirty-year writing career she has written 25 novels, and she won the Booker Prize in 1984. Strangers is a rather weird novel — definitely not what I expected from the cover blurb. It tells the story of Paul, an elderly man living alone in a London flat. He is obsessively nostalgic, and on the one hand desperate to have someone 'around' as he grows older, but at the same time fiercely protective of his own miserable solitude. Brookner writes in a style that's only a whisker away from old-fashioned… and at times her prose seems repetitive, but I think that's part of Paul's "voice." Other readers say they found the story depressing and Paul's interior monologue banal, but I'm inclined to think: hey, elderly people really live like this. Sorry if that depresses or bores you, but it's true! Personally, I am enjoying the novel (I'm on the last couple of chapters). I find Paul's character interesting — he seems frustratingly selfish but also justified in his partly-self-made vulnerability — and I'm curious to see if his endless musings (there's barely any dialogue, only Paul's own thoughts) actually lead to anything. It's not a book that's easy to read, but I'm terrible for giving up on prose as soon as I get to a patch that bores me (typical poet, right?), and I haven't put this down yet. I probably won't read it again, but it is definitely A Good Read.
So, what are you reading right now? I'm nosy — tell me in the comments box! Or better still, jump on the Things I'm Reading Thursday bandwagon and write your own post.

Mits PJ Redux
Mitsubishi announced the HC6000, an update of the HC5000. They seem to have addressed all the issues we had with the 5000, such as the slow iris, and tiny menu size, but kept the things we liked, like the HQV processing and the low price. In fact, that got a bit lower, the HC6000 is "under $4000" and should be available in the middle of October.

Charleston, W.Va. – West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie E. Tennant is reminding generous people that they have many tools available to make sure they don't get scammed during the holiday season.
"A lot of people feel generous during the holiday season, and want to donate to charities to make sure the holidays are happy," Tennant said. "But remember that there might be dishonest people out there looking to take advantage of that generosity and who might try to scam you."
Tennant said her office maintains a database of every charitable organization licensed to solicit donations from West Virginians. The database, available on the Secretary of State's website, displays important information in an easy to understand format. Where a charity is located, the amount of money a charity took in, and how they spent that money is available.
However, not every worthy charity is listed. Organizations such as hospitals, smaller charities that take in less than $25,000, and charities like the Salvation Army that are monitored on a national level are not listed.
Tennant urges people to remember some simple tips to make sure a scammer doesn't take advantage of their holiday spirit and charitable giving.
"If a person calls asking for a donation, ask the caller if their organization is registered with the Secretary of State's Office. If they give you the runaround, that's a good sign that you should just hang up the phone. The honest charities will want you to ask questions because they know they are legitimate."
Some other ways people can protect themselves are to ask how donations will be spent, where the charity is located, and to never pay cash. People should also watch out for high pressure gimmicks and guilt tactics if you decide to not donate. Some questionable charities also give themselves names similar to well-known and respected charities, trying to confuse people into donating.
If you feel you have been contacted by a fraudulent charity, contact the Secretary of State's Office at (304) 558-6000.
Secretary Tennant also reminded people that there are ways to help during the holidays other than giving a monetary donation.
"Money is tight for a lot of people these days. But remember – you can always volunteer at a shelter or other community group. A lot of times, a few hours of volunteer work is better than writing a check."

Troubleshooting DSL that has previously worked.
This depends on your
equipment and computer as much as ours, so here are some steps to make
sure you have done your part to keep your connection functioning.
There are basically 2
steps. Making sure your modem is connected to the DSL Network, and
secondly, that your Computer has an IP Address from the network. In many
cases, this first step will be enough to get all the equipment talking
The first thing you
will want to try is
to shut
down all the computers you have running on the DSL.
You then want to
turn off any DSL equipment,
such as the DSL Modem, Router, Switch, or anything else on the network,
excluding printers.
Next, Power the DSL Modem back on
and make sure that you have a solid green Ready light if you have a Westell Wirespeed
modem, or a solid green DSL light if you have a different kind.
Once the DSL modem is up,
power up any networking
equipment you have and
THEN power on your
computers, and try the internet again. It is
important that you follow these steps in the order listed here.

Price paid: $ 400
Purchased from: Guitar Center Used
Features: From the Korean PRS factory, this is a signature Mike Mushok guitar. It comes in a few colors, I have the wood burst model. This guitar has 2 humbucking passive pick ups, a 3 way toggle and a shared tone + volume. The pick ups are moderately high output, not hugely hot. They are just factory PRS pick ups that go on their SE series guitars. 22 frets, mahogany body with set mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard. Some nice cream binding. PRS tuning machines. 27.5 inch scale length. I rate this an 8 because for a guitar this price, you get a real nice ebony fingerboard... and I LOVE ebony! // 8
Sound: This is a medium-long scale baritone. The guitar is pretty much just a standard PRS SE series. I believe it sells new for around 650. The sound is relatively neutral, the pickups are not all out high output metal, nor are they jazzy pearly gates clean either. I think PRS went for a more dynamic pick up option. The guitar has a nice fat tone, and is pretty clear. I did notice with a distorted amp big chords do not ring out on all the strings as well as my other guitars. It does have a nice ballsy sound to it though. // 7
Action, Fit & Finish: This guitar has very good okay work. I did not get this one brand new so I can not say how well it came set up out of the factory, but I am rather impressed with the build quality for the price of this guitar. No flaws in the ax, no flackey knobs nothing. Very solid. The upper frets are real easy to access. This has a rather thick neck to it. Ebony finger board is GREAT! The binding on the neck on this one is quite well done. Not messy at all. I have seen some expensive ESP guitars with really lousy binding work along the fretboard. The frets are nice and beveled, they do not try and cut you. // 8
Reliability & Durability: The strap buttons are very well balanced, the guitar naturally hangs in a perfect playing position when you let go of it. Some strap holders on guitars are not well thought out, this one was. Seems reliable enough. The more I look at the finish the more I like it. I cannot say how durable it is, I have not gigged it, or moved it around much. I guess I will not really know if it lives up to the PRS name, I have only had it about a month. // 8
Overall Impression: I bought this guitar to do the heavy metal stuff, or just for fun drop tunings, and it does it well enough. Like I said before the pickups are not the best for high gain, but they do ring out well enough, and have some harmonic depth. I am really enjoying this guitar and am very pleased with the craftsmanship. If you are thinking of trying a baritone I think this is a great place to start. The scale length is a little longer than some baritones, and about 1/2 and inch shorter than the Ibanez baritones. I am currently playing this thing in drop A tuning, but I imagine it could go down quite a bit lower. The guitar intonates nicely. Really nothing wrong with this guitar... it looks nice enough, the bridge is solid, it stays in tune. If this guitar came with some sort of high end SD bridge pick up or something of that nature, it would be an absolute steal. I do get a fair amount of string buzz with a less than low action... but most guitars do, especially in this price range. // 8
Price paid: $ 650
Purchased from: Guitar Center
Features: I bought this guitar in May 2012, and it was straight from the factory when I got it. The model I ordered was the Silver burst version, it also comes in Brown burst. With it being a SE model, it was manufactured in Korea. To give a rundown of the specs:
- 22 Frets w/a 10" Radius on a 27.7" length neck
- Ebony Fret board
- Maple Neck
- Bound Mahogany Body with white binding
- The Neck shape is called "Mike Mushok" on the site, but I would definitely say that it is a Thick C Shape. More like a LP style than other PRS's that I have played, and much thicker than the Wide Fat neck I have on my SE Custom 22.
- String through nickel stop tail
- 3 way blade pick-up selector
- Non-locking PRS tuners (but very sturdy nonetheless)
- Standard SE Treble and Bass Pickups
- 1 Volume and Tone Control
- Came tuned to B Standard with D'Adario XL157 14-68 Strings
My guitar came with a gig bag and some small tools and accessories. // 10
Sound: I personally play a heavier style of music, and this guitar fits me perfectly. Admittedly, I am no virtuoso, so I lean more towards riffing, and this guitar seems like it was built for exactly that. Obviously baritones aren't exactly for the "happy" sounding poppy tunes, and this guitar is no exception. Dark when clean, and p-ssed off when distorted. When I got this guitar I also purchased a Vox Valvetronix 120+ to go with it. The effects I am currently running would be through the amp settings and foot-switch, so basically a little reverb and chorus here and there, but mostly just distortion.
The clean could admittedly be better, but it may just be because the Vox has so many clean settings that I haven't one I liked yet. I am not a big fan of the Neck pickup on any guitar, but this guitar actually does have me using it more and more on the clean channels because it doesn't break up as much. The bridge on the other hand was built for overdrive. I have the gain on 3/4 of what I play my other guitars through, but it still is the most pissed off sounding guitar I own. I also have to admit, even though PRS is using their run of the mill pickups on this guitar, they sound awesome. I have no intentions of switching them out, because they do their job just fine.
If you like to play heavy music, this is definitely something to look to, especially if you play in drop tunings. I wouldn't necessarily call it the "Jack of All Trades", variety wise, but I would definitely call it the "Work Horse". It doesn't claim to be the guitar that can do everything, but what it can do, it does very well. // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: I don't know if it is a quality across the board with PRS, but every one that I have ever owned or played has had fairly low action, and this one is no different. I thought the set up was pretty good, I haven't had any intonation issues and everything feels very nice play-ability wise. The finish work was pristine, and the silverburst actually may have a hint of brown in it too, making it a three tone burst if you look at it right. Everything else was done very well, and I have no complaints about any part of the guitar as far as tuners/frets/controls are concerned.
Also, on a side note, the strings that they put on out of the box are awesome. I am a fan of D'Adarios, but they just felt perfect for this guitar, and sound great. // 10
Reliability & Durability: This guitar is zombie apocalypse durable. It is a very solid, heavy piece of wood. Not sure about the finish, because I am not actively trying to beat up my new guitar for the moment, but all the parts work awesome and are holding up very well. PRS has a reputation for quality, and they have begun to bring that reputation to their SE line as well. This guitar is no different. I would feel confident with no backup to this guitar, and have no doubt that they could stand up to the road. (Mike Mushok uses these guitars pretty much stock with his live rig, and if anyone has seen him play, you would understand how durable this guitar would need to be). // 9
Overall Impression: This is definitely a guitar for my tastes: A straight forward, hard hitting guitar that sounds best when turned up to 11. I have been a huge fan of the PRS company since I got my SE Custom 22 in 2007, and they haven't let me down yet. I would make no hesitation to get another if this was lost for any reason, because it fits what I want out of a guitar perfectly. I wish the neck was a little easier to play for a more small handed person, but I understand the needs for tension control on a baritone, so I can live with it.
Like I said before, this isn't really a guitar built on frills or special features, it just gets the job done. Its effectiveness, along with the fact that it is WELL under $1000 makes it well worth the while. Plug one in and turn up the gain, and you will see what I mean. // 10

I also liked Privateer a lot.
|For those of us who didn't know about this, it looks like you can still get in on the action on the website.
sounds like something I would really enjoy playing so I will try to add some funds tonight. as for releasing in 2014, am I the only one that thinks that is a very tight timeline?
|didn't they something about being able to fly those fwuck off huge space cruisers if it reached this much?
|I think the internet has just made me really cynical, because all I can think is that since they were running their own website with no oversight, they just dodgied up the numbers to make it seem huge and be all record-breaking and get themselves more media coverage. I mean, wasn't it only just past 4 million a few days ago? Then it gets 2 million in a couple of days?
|There's normally a surge at the end, and their kickstarter did do pretty well. The success probably generated hype.
Though the game doesn't really appeal to me and I didn't fund it.
|Khel, I'd imagine it's likely because the media coverage from the 4 million + the fact that they've hit the goal and now people are willing to risk the money because it's def coming out is why it did so well recently.
Personally, I only heard about it the other day too, with the 4 mil news going around on it. I'm sure a lot of other gamers are like me and don't exactly troll around looking for things like that, they just go "oh, this sounds awesome, I'll check it out".
That's what marketing is for :P

I too poop at parties, in fact I sometimes get so excited before the party I do a pre-party poop, and then when I take the party pill I have a post party pill poop…the gauge of a good party is the number of poops that happen inside of it. If the host runs out of Glade Air Puff or they have to run out to purchase multi-packs of adult diapers at 3 am, you know the party was a success [or maybe someone brought some DODGY SHRIMP COCKTAIL with them]!
For poop's sake Jennifer, close the door when you're party pooping…please!

I am sorry to read of the passing of your loved one. Words don't always ease the pain when you are grieving the death of a loved one, but I hope you will find comfort in Jesus' promise of the resurrection hope (Acts 24:15) when he will raise up those who are now sleeping in death (John 11:11), restoring them back to life on the renewed Paradise earth (John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43). What a wonderful blessing to look forward too. Until then, may God (Psalms 83:18) grant you peace and comfort during this grievous time-Matthew 5:4.ReplyDelete

Enlisted Spouses Club offers scholarships to military spouses
$1,000, $500 awards available
By Lisa R. Rhodes
Staff Writer
Posted 7/14/11
The scholarship application, which can be found on the ESC website, www.ftmeadeesc.org, must be postmarked by Aug. 7. Winners will be notified in mid-September. Scholarships will be awarded in October.
"Because we [military families] move every three years, it does make it hard to get a good education," said Katherine Moore, the newly installed second vice president of the ESC. "And that makes it hard to get gainful employment."
Moore said the struggles faced by military spouses in attaining a higher education prompted her to lead the effort to create the scholarship. This year, the ESC raised $8,000 in proceeds from its Thrift Shop to fund the program.
To be eligible, applicants must be the spouse of an enlisted active-duty military member from any service branch including the National Guard and Reserve, or the enlisted spouse of a retiree of any service branch, including the Guard and Reserve.
Applicants also must be either assigned to Fort Meade, the National Security Agency or detachment units to Fort Meade or the NSA, or live on the installation or within a 30-mile radius.
In addition to submitting an essay and academic transcripts, applicants must be a volunteer in the military community and are required to submit a recommendation from their volunteer supervisor.
Moore said the emphasis on volunteer work reflects ESC's reliance on, and respect for, volunteers.
"It's because of the volunteers at the Thrift Shop that we can do this," said Moore, noting that the post shop is run by three paid staff members and a host of volunteers. "Everything we do is because of volunteers."
Moore, wife of Air Force Tech Sgt. Larry Moore of the 7th Intelligence Squadron at the NSA, said she is lucky she was able to compete her education when she was single.
Moore had completed both her undergraduate and graduate degrees before meeting her husband five years ago in South Korea, where she taught English at a private academy and a college.
"If I had gotten married at 18, 19 or 20, like many military spouses do, I wouldn't have been able to finish my education," she said. "My bachelor's degree was a four-year program."
The ESC has been providing scholarships to military children for 30 years. Moore said it is the club's hope that this scholarship also becomes an annual tradition.
"We hope it has a positive impact on the community and that we get a lot of applicants," she said. "Education is just so important. ... We set the example for our children."

Huang Harmonica Brass plated, hand tuned brass reeds, plastic combs, nickel plated covers, comes with a case, square like a blues harp. HRM004A $15.00
The "HarpHugger for Violin" is so unique, you just have to try it to appreciate the possibilities. It helps if you are fluent on both harmonica and violin when you try it.
The "HarpHugger" was created by a musician for other musicians.
A new universe of soundcombinations awaits your discovery!A new frontier of acoustic sounds starts here. Imagination, skill and practice are needed. The method of attachment to violin is essentially a double spool clamp design routinely used in violin repair.
Obviously the violin was not designed with the idea that a harmonica holder would be clamped to it. Therefore, there is no real way to know the effects of long term use. I can testify that I've seen no damage to my violin caused by my "HarpHugger" in almost a year's use.
"HarpHugger" is not responsible for any damages caused by proper or improper use. Use at your own risk.

The former "Baywatch" star was arrested late Saturday night on Ventura Boulevard in the Encino section of the San Fernando Valley, said Officer Sara Faden, a police spokeswoman. He was released the next morning.
No further details were immediately available.
In 2002, Hasselhoff checked himself into the Betty Ford Center for treatment of alcoholism.
The 51-year-old actor is best known for portraying lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the long-running "Baywatch" TV series. He also starred in the 1980s television show "Knight Rider."

Red-hot Redbridge impressed me
Not every manager will take positives out of a defeat, but Redbridge Jewish Care's Jon Jacobs definitely can after Sunday's match against Faithfold.
Several people thought it would be a case of men against boys, but the young second division outfit gave as good as they got.
Virtually every season a team stands out and catches the eye, and the early signs look good for RJC, despite the 2-0 defeat. It's more a case of a work in progress … watch this space.
The future of this team should excite everyone at the club who has worked so hard to compete with the likes of London Maccabi Lions et al.
Top, young Jewish football talent is hard to find in one team these days, but RJC have great strength in depth and the future definitely looks bright. It was extremely pleasing to watch a young team pass and keep the ball so confidently. They were a joy to watch.
They have two top prospects vying for the no. 1 spot in Bradley Grant and Matt Kemp. Defender Richard Gold can learn a lot playing in a back four alongside the ageless Darren Brown. "It was a full-back performance par-excellence," Jacobs told me after the game. "Richard kept Faithfold's all-star attack quiet and won every 50:50 challenge".
Former Wingate & Finchley star Brown has lost none of his passion either and he is the perfect role model for the younger boys around him.
But it was midfield maestro Nathan Sollosi who impressed me most. Playing against the league champions, there were times when he ran the show, with Jacobs describing it as "a virtuoso display in midfield that was as inspirational as it was technically magnificent".
There were, however, several unsavoury flashpoints during the game that I'd rather my eight-year-old son would not have witnessed as he watched me play for the first time, but nothing should take away from the performance of Redbridge.
Jacobs spoke with pride after the game, saying: "We matched the champions every step of the way, only to be undone by two set-pieces.
"The boys will learn from this and realise that there is nothing to be afraid of in Jewish football."
* David Dein remains one of the most respected figures in the game. I don't know many Arsenal fans who wouldn't love him back at the club. When he talks the audience listens and some will clutch on to his every word next month when he makes special appearances at Dame Alice Owen's School followed by the Four Four Jew football exhibition at the Jewish Museum in Camden.

Black Butler
Season One - Part Two
Trailer | TV-14,TV-MA
Sebastian Michaelis is more than just one hell of a butler. He's a lonely boy's everything. Summoned from darkness, Sebastian serves Ciel with a sly smile. He brews the morning tea with care, gently dresses his ward in the daintiest of robes, and quashes the Young Master's enemies with a flourish! But following orders can be quite the bore, and Sebastian grows ever so hungry... Before he can silence the rumble of his stomach, however, there is the small matter of an unholy union, a contract if you will. The Butler must locate and exterminate the nefarious ne'er-do-wells responsible for the murder of his Young Master's most unfortunate parents. Then - and only then - may Sebastian reveal his true form and dine on the delicacy that is Ciel's scrumptious soul. And while the demon devours his prize, all of London shall burn.

February 06, 2013 09:55The Beaverton Police Department, in cooperation with Crime Stoppers of Oregon, is asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect that killed a pedestrian in January 2013.
On January 15, 2013 at approximately 7:57 p.m., officers from the Beaverton Police Department were dispatched to the area of Southwest Laurelwood Avenue and Southwest Homewood Street on a report of an adult male face down on the roadway.
When officers arrived on scene they determined that the subject down on the edge of the roadway was deceased. The victim was later identified as 18-year-old Harley Rocher of Aloha, Oregon.
From the evidence at the crash scene, it appears that this was a hit and run involving a motor vehicle. This incident is currently being investigated by Beaverton Police Officers and members of the Washington County Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team (CART).
The suspect vehicle is believed to be teal in color and should have damage to the passenger side and the windshield. A photograph of paint evidence collected at the scene is being released to assist the public in identifying the vehicle by color.
Investigators are still asking that anyone that might have witnessed this crash or has any information that would help in this investigation to please contact the Beaverton Police Department at (503) 629-0111.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information, reported to Crime Stoppers, that leads to an arrest in this case, or any unsolved felony, and you can remain anonymous.
Leave a Crime Stoppers tip online at http://www.crimestoppersoforegon.com , text CRIMES (274637) and in the subject line put 823HELP, followed by your tip, or call 503-823-HELP (4357) and leave your tip information.
