The New Apple TV Will Finish What The Mac Started: Killing Off Discs
I remember watching the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray wars closely a few years back. I wanted one to win so I could go out and buy a next generation movie player. But the battle went on and on, and by the time Blu-ray won, I had set my sights on a new frontier: digital distribution. I never did get that Blu-ray player. And now I'm quite certain I never will. The new 1080p Apple TV is here. To be… Read More

The Onkyo BD-SP809 Blu-ray Player: 3D, Netflix, And A Lovely THX Certification
Once upon a time, buying a high-end audio or video device often meant sacrificing otherwise standard consumer features. Instead of a quality remote, you'd get fancy interior audio circuity. Instead of an on-screen GUI, the player would weigh 30 lbs. Such was the life of a fine media connoisseur. That trend is quickly fading, though. Onkyo just announced its latest flagship Blu-ray… Read More

If you are planning your vacation but you don�t know how to manage your budget, here are some ideas for you to help you organize your budget in a way that you can afford a nice and relaxing family vacation. Here are 5 ways to save money on vacation.
1. Avoid Peak Travel Times
You may already know that the summer season is known as the peak travel times. This is the time when everyone is looking to get away and is going on vacation in some exotic place. You should know that during that time the prices are higher and it is more difficult to find cheap hotel. So, there is also an off- peak times when flights and hotel rooms are much less expensive and usually during these time it is easier to organize a vacation according to your budget. When planning your family vacation have in mind that during April through May and mid- August through October are the ideal times for your vacation.
2. Buy Package Deals
Those of you who have been traveling a lot may already know about the so called �� package deals��. So, when you book your hotel packaged with your airfare you are then given the opportunities and deals that are not available to the general public. This is what we call a budget friendly vacation. Another good idea is to use the all inclusive hotel packages which is a great way to control your expenditures.
3. Choose a Family Friendly Hotel
No matter where you are going for your vacation, you will always need to book a hotel room. Have in mind that there are certain hotels, which are much more family � friendly then others. What does family � friendly hotel mean? Well, simply said you will get much more services and amenities for your kids. Besides, they are much more affordable and the rooms are more spacious.
4. Sign up for Discount Websites
The Internet is the big miracle of our times, so why not use it in your advantage? Did you know that you can get top deals from the cities, which you are planning to visit? The only thing you need to do is sign up a couple of weeks before you go and thus you will get the chance to receive coupons for dining and local attractions.
5. Plan in Advance
I can stress more on the importance of planning your vacation in advance. Decide where you want to go and start planning everything from your flight ticket to the hotel room. You should have enough time to explore the place and look for some good and affordable deals. Planning in advance is the biggest and most important step towards saving your money.
There is nothing more thrilling and exciting than going on vacation with your family. Vacations are one great way to get away from the big city and explore different and amazing places. The world is filled with so many spectacular and truly astonishing places which deserve to be explored. In fact this is the main idea of vacations, to explore a different world and to try exciting and thrilling new things.
In times of financial difficulties many people are forced to cut on expenses and give up luxuries, which they would never give up. One of these luxuries is family vacations, which so many people love and are excited about. However, if you use the tips given in this article you will not have to give up your so desired family trip!

It's not just us in GAFriday, November 14th, 2008
As we headed west toward the Pacific, I wondered if we were returning to the airport, but we were still climbing. Finally, we stopped turning and headed in a southeasterly direction.
Disembarking in Atlanta, I asked the captain what was up with that departure. He told me the spiraling climb was normal for San Jose, necessary to avoid the San Francisco and Oakland airspace to the north.
It reminded me that those kinds of things don't always happen just to those of us flying small aircraft. Departing IFR to the west from my home airport, Frederick Municipal, usually requires flying to the northeast for radar identification–and then a climbing right turn until the DG finally points to the "W." Does anything like that happen to you?

This special bowl had to be large enough to accommodate the implements and actions of tea brewing, yet small enough to be held comfortably in the hands for drinking. The term for this versatile piece of equipment was simply chawan tea bowl.
Technically, because of its small size –usually no more than 4 inches across– the term should be gaibei (covered cup) but since he traditional vessel for tea drinking had always been some form of bowl, "gaiwan" was adopted.
Because of its elegance, functionality and ease of use (after a little practice, of course), the gaiwan has long been recognized in China as the universal tool of tea preparation… in the teahouse, at home or in the field. The gaiwan's universal practicality, superior control and versatility through all families and styles of tea make it the perfect vessel in which to explore the widest range of the world's teas.
The GaiWan is very useful.
1. The saucer can avoid people getting scald from the hot water.
2. You don't need to move the cover, just move a half. So you will not eat the leaf but drink the tea.
Now our workshop has made these Yixing Gaiwans with Perfect clay. See the pictures below.

I think he is asking if they are meant for pouring into a cup, or for drinking directly from the bowl? (Old style or "grandpa" style drinking directly from the gaiwan instead of pouring into a cup). I would guess they are good for either.

Topic: Referencing Associations Properly...
Okay so I have two tables
Users & Roles
Users has role_id as the foreign key
In my show.rhtml for users I can show the name of the role by using the following:
@role = Role.find(@user.role_id).name
Then on my show.rhtml view I just use
<%= @role %>
It will print out User or Admin instead of 1 or 2 in this case which is exactly what I'm looking for it to do.
I'm open to suggestions on how to make this easier as well if this is not the elegant way of doing it.
The problem
In my index method in users_controller.rb and index.rhml I tried to do the same thing, but it does not work. I'm assuming that the difference between the find(params[:id]) and find(:all) for the @user part is the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using edge rails FYI.
I appreciate the help!

Give trucks credit
To the Journal editor:
No big trucks in the city? Interesting perspective. Banning big trucks in the city would fix the problem for sure. But taking a closer look at that statement, maybe we need to think a little bit about the consequences of our actions.
All food, materials, fuels, pretty much everything that we wear, eat, drink and play with is brought by big trucks. What about the astronomical fees that the truck owners and drivers put into the system on license, taxes, maintenance, parts, fuel and everything else that is bought locally to keep that machinery running.
They are big, noisy, slow beasts that lumber along our roads by people trying to make an honest living, and they are every bit professionals.
Looking at traffic accidents, seems to me these big trucks have fewer accidents per number, monitored closer (how many cars get stopped by MDOT for inspection), drivers hours set by law, coupled with driver physicals, and records of driving monitored.
These trucks have as much or more right to be on our highways than the small private vehicles, based on what it cost to put them out there in tax dollars.
The attitude of not in my back yard, when we reap the rewards just doesn't seem right. Remember, if you got it, a truck brought it."

Manhattan Bidding Wars to Persist as Housing Supply Stays Tight
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In the tiny island of Manhattan, supply of homes has always been limited and homeownership has been the privilege of a lucky few.
But the supply-demand dynamic in the city is now so out of whack that even a million dollars in the bank and pristine credit doesn't do you much good.
Buyers who are re-entering the housing market after waiting on the sidelines for so long are waking up to the cold reality that there are few homes left to buy.
"The market is absolutely insane," says Jacky Teplitzky, managing director at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. "It has completely changed in the last five weeks. There is just no inventory."
Manhattan inventory has been steadily declining over the last couple of years as new developments stalled in the aftermath of the financial crisis and sellers held off from listing their homes in a tough market. But the inventory levels are now at their lowest levels in over a decade, as you can see from this stunning chart from real estate appraisal company Miller Samuel.
The absorption rate -- the number of months it would take to sell the amount of listings in the market at the current sales pace -- fell to 5.5 months at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to the 10-year average of 9.3 months. Listings have dropped even further since then in the early months of January and February.
Doug Perlson, CEO of online real estate company RealDirect.com says prices are on the rise with bidding wars among buyers starting to drive offers above the asking price. "It is amazing how in such a relatively short time, Manhattan has gone from a neutral
Manhattan is certainly not the only market with a shortage of homes for sale. Nationwide, inventory levels are at a 13-year low, with the absorption rate last reported at 4.2 months. In a balanced market, it should take six months to clear all the existing inventory.

Laptop Checkout Policy
Abell Library has four laptops for student use in the library. Students who check out a laptop must first complete one copy of the laptop contract, which states:
- I understand that this equipment is a 4-hour library loan and cannot leave the building. I will not take the laptop from Abell Library.
- I will immediately inspect the laptop upon checking it out and agree that it is in good condition.
- I will not tamper with hardware or existing software. I agree to protect this equipment from theft and/or damage. I understand that the Austin College Campus Police will investigate any loss of a laptop or any missing components, and I will cooperate with such investigations.
- I agree to accept full financial responsibility for failure to return the laptop and accompanying equipment, and any damage incurred to the laptop through abuse, misuse, or operation contrary to any instructions supplied with the laptop while it is in my care. Approximate cost of the laptop is $1,000.
- I agree to go to the library Circulation Desk immediately if this equipment is damaged, lost, stolen, or malfunctioning.
- I agree to return the laptop to the Circulation Desk by the time due and personally give it to a library staff member or library student employee before I leave the Abell Library. I will return the laptop no later than 15 minutes before the closing of the library. Fines will be charged at the rate of 60 cents per hour with a maximum fine of $10.00.
- I will never leave the laptop unattended. If I leave it unattended, I may lose permanently the privilege of borrowing a library laptop.
- I will follow the same practices with this laptop as those specified in Austin College's Network Responsible Use Policy.
Laptop privileges will be revoked if a borrower violates any part of this agreement. In addition, any blocks on a patron record (overdue books, ignored recalls, etc.) will also prohibit laptop borrowing.
Materials Missing from the Shelves
If a book is not on the shelf where it belongs, please report it to the Circulation Desk. The library's computerized catalog should indicate whether a book is checked out or not. If it is not on the shelf and not checked out, please request that the library conduct a search for the material. When located, the circulation staff will send you a notice that the item is found.
Recalling Library Material
Any member of the Austin College community (faculty, staff or student) may request that an item checked out to another be recalled. Please make your request at the Circulation Desk. Books are not recalled until the person has had the item for at least 2 weeks, and no one is obligated to return a book until their loan period is over, unless the material is needed for a course reserve. Material needed for a course reserve is requested to be returned to the library, immediately.
Returning Borrowed Materials
All materials are to be returned to the Circulation Desk. Reserve materials should be handed directly to a Circulation worker to ensure that the items are discharged in a timely manner to prevent fines. All items must be returned in the same condition they were when checked out. Any damage, including pen or pencil markings, may result in a library fine. Any material checked out from other BARR libraries or a TexShare participating library must be returned to the appropriate library before the date due.
Everyone is expected to return Library material on time so that others may have access to them. When this does not happen, the library fines the person $0.20 per day per overdue book. The fee for DVDs and videos is $3.00 per day. If a book is returned or renewed within 7 days of the due date, the library will not enforce the fine. There is a maximum fine of $10.00 per book and a $20.00 per DVD/video. Overdue reserve materials carry more severe penalties. Notices are sent out after a book is due. Please contact the Circulation Supervisor about overdues. Lost or damaged books should be reported as soon as possible to the Circulation Supervisor.
Reserve Desk Policies
Many professors reserve particular books, videos, DVDs, and/or photocopied material important to their classes on shelves behind the Circulation Desk. Also kept on permanent reserve are style manuals used for writing papers. To check out reserve material, you must have your own valid Austin College identification card.
Items are placed on reserve with limited time periods so that ALL students have EQUAL access to assigned material.
All materials placed on reserve are located in the closed reserve area behind the circulation/reserve desk.
All materials are on the online catalog, under Reserves, listed by faculty name or by course number.
A computer is available at the Reserve Desk to look up reserved material.
Loans will be made only to persons possessing a valid Austin College I.D.
Only one reserve item may be checked out at a time.
We will not hold a reserve item for someone.
We will wait 15 minutes to allow others to check out a reserve item before we will renew it, unless there is another copy available.
Loan Periods:
2 hour reserve - due back in two hours from time checked out. (Items restricted to "library use only" may not leave the library and will be due at the Reserve Desk 15 minutes before closing.)
2 hour/overnight reserve - due back in two hours from time checked out or may be checked out overnight beginning two hours before closing and due back 1 hour after opening on the following day.
4 hour reserve - due back in four hours from time checked out. Used for most videos and DVDs. (Items restricted to "library use only" may not leave the library and will be due at the Reserve Desk 15 minutes before closing.)
24 hour reserve - due back the following day at the same timed checked out. (e.g. checked out on Monday, 7:00 pm, due Tuesday, 7:00 pm.)
72 hour reserve - due back in 3 days at same time checked out.(e.g. checked out on Monday, 7:00 pm, due Thursday, 7:00 pm.)
Reserve Fines:
Fines will be charged at the rate of 60 cents per hour per reserve item - $10.00 total maximum fine per item.
If an item is recalled, then the maximum fine is $20.00 per item recalled.
Group Study Rooms
Rooms are provided on the second floor of the library for small groups of students to study together.
To schedule a group study room, there must be at least two people needing a place to study together.
Room scheduling is maintained at the Circulation Desk.
To provide as many people the opportunity to work/study together there is a 3-hour reservation limit per room - Students signing up for more than 3-hour blocks will be removed from the reservation form.
Policy for Public School Visits
Abell Library will work with high school teachers who want to bring a class to Abell Library to find information for a class assignment. In order to ensure that a library visit is a good experience for everyone involved, we would like to coordinate visits with the school librarian and we ask that teachers please abide by the following guidelines.
Call ahead of time (a minimum of two weeks) to arrange for a meeting time that will be convenient for the library staff and for your students.
Contact the Barbara Cornelius , x2536, to schedule a time to bring your class.
Please do NOT show up with a group of students unannounced or refer a large number of students to work on an assignment at our library without consulting us first. We want to ensure that there will not be conflicts with Austin College activities in the library or on campus and that librarians will be available to help your students.
Familiarize yourself with the collection, search tools, and policies that will pertain to your students' assignment prior to the scheduled visit. For example, you should have a general idea of how our materials are arranged and find out whether students will be able to locate the information they need for a particular assignment in Abell Library.
You might prepare a handout describing appropriate sources and how to locate them and discuss this with the class before they visit Abell Library. Students will then have more time to spend using the resources and spend less time trying to figure out what they need to do. If requested, we will consult with teachers regarding preparation for such a handout.
Please inform your class of our library's policies that would affect your students: books can only be checked out to students who bring a BARR card from either Sherman Public Library or Denison Public Library. (We do not issue BARR cards.) Students must be 16 years old to obtain checkout privileges. Photocopies can be made at the cost of 10 cents per page.
Group size should be limited to 35 or fewer. If more than 20 students are brought, please plan to have two adult supervisors. The school librarian is encouraged to accompany the group with the classroom teacher. Adult supervisors should assist students in locating the materials and supervising their activities.
Keep in mind that we have a limited number of Internet workstations and photocopiers. Students need to be willing to wait in line and to share.
Prepare your students for visiting a college library. Discuss acceptable behavior and the fact that Austin College students may be here studying for an important test and must not be disturbed. Also students should come to the library with a chosen research topic, not for a scavenger hunt.
Prior to students beginning their research in the library, a brief introduction to Austin College will be presented to visiting classes by the Institutional Enrollment Department.

Skip to comments.How to Handle the Koran; Official D.O.D. Guidelines. (No Similar Rules for Christian Bible)
Posted on 06/07/2005 7:26:41 PM PDT by fight_truth_decay
JTF-GTMO-JDOG-CO 19 JAN 03 MEMORANDUM FOR All personnel, JDOG SUBJECT: Camp Delta Interim SOP Modification: Inspecting/Handling Detainee Korans Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
1. General. The purpose of this SOP is to provide guidance and set specific procedures for the handling and inspecting of detainee Korans.
2. Intent. To ensure the safety of the detainees and MPs while respecting the cultural dignity of the Korans thereby reducing the friction over the searching the Korans. JTF-GTMO personnel directly working with detainees will avoid handling or touching the detainees Koran whenever possible. When military necessity does require the Koran to be search, the subsequent procedures will be followed.
3. Inspection. a. The MP informs the detainee that the Chaplain or a Muslim interpreter will inspect Koran. If the detainee refuses the inspection at any time, the noncompliance is reported to the Detention Operations Center (DOC) and logged appropriately by the block NCO. b. The Koran will not be touched or handled by the MP. c. The Chaplain or Muslim interpreter will give instructio ns to the detainee who will handle the Koran. He may or may not require a language specific interpreter. d. The inspector is examining so as to notice an unauthorized items, markings, or any indicators that raises suspicion about the contents of the Koran. e. The inspector will instruct the detainee to first open the one cover with one hand while holding the Koran in the other thus exposing the inside cover completely. f. The inspector instructs the detainee to open pages in an upright manner (as if reading the Koran). This is a random page search and not every page is to be turned. Pages will be turned slowly enough to clearly see the pages. g. The inspector has the detainee show the inside of the back cover of the Koran.
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE JOINT TASK FORCE GUANTANAMO HEADQUARTERS, JOINT DETENTION OPERATION GROUP (JDOG) GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA APO AE 09360 JTF-GTMO-JDOG-CO SUBJECT: Camp Delta Interim SOP Modification:
Inspecting/Handling Detainee Korans Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) h. The detainee is instructed to show both ends of the Koran while the book is closed so that inspector can note the binding while closed paying attention to abnormal contours or protrusions associated with the binding. The intent is to deduce if anything may be in the binding without forcing the detainee to expose the binding, which may be construed as culturally insensitive or offensive given the significance of the Koran. i. How the detainee reacted, observation by other detainees, and other potentially relevant observations will be annotated appropriately on the block significant activities sheet as well as staff journal.
4. Handling. a. Clean gloves will be put on in full view of the detainees prior to handling. b. Two hands will be used at all times when handling the Koran in manner signaling respect and reverence. Care should be used so that the right hand is the primary one used to manipulate any part of the Koran due to the cultural association with the left hand. Handle the Koran as if it were a fragile piece of delicate art. c. Ensure that the Koran is not placed in offensive areas such as the floor, near the toilet or sink, near the feet, or dirty/wet areas.
5. Removal. a. Korans should be left in the cell as a general rule (save in MSU), even when a detainee is moved to another cell or block. In principal, every cell (except MSU) will have a Koran assigned to it. b. If a Koran must be removed at the direction the CJDOG, the detainee library personnel or Chaplain will be contacted to retrieve and properly store the Koran in the detainee library. The request for the librarian/Chaplain, as well as the retrieval itself, will be logged appropriately. c. If the Chaplain, librarian, or Muslim interpreter, within the needs of the situation, cannot remove the Koran, then the MP may remove the Koran after approved by the DOC (who notes this in the MP Blotter) IAW the following procedures: 1) Clean gloves will be put on in full view of the detainees prior to handling
JTF-GTMO-JDOG-CO SUBJECT: Camp Delta Interim SOP Modification: Inspecting/Handling Detainee Korans Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
2) Two hands will be used at all times when handling the Koran in manner signaling respect and reverence.
3) Place a clean, dry, detainee towel on the detainee bed and then place the Koran on top of the clean towel in a manner, which allows it to be wrapped without turning the Koran over at any time in a reverent manner. Ensure that the Koran is not placed in offensive areas such as the floor, near the toilet or sink, near the feet, or dirty/wet area when doing this activity. d. How the detainee reacted, observation by other detainees, and other potentially relevant observations will be annotated appropriately on the block significant activities sheet as well as staff journal. e. The Koran shall be returned to the librarian, Chaplain, or DOC (in that order). f. Exception: Detainee in MSU may have a Koran if specifically authorized by a 508-1 or the Level 5 Block Entitlement Form. Once detainee leaves MSU, the same handling/removing policies and procedures remain in effect.
6. Korans are the property of the U.S. Government and as such will remain in the cells only to be removed at the JDOG Commanders decision. 7. For further information or clarification, please contact the JDOG DOC @ 3239.

Red Cross Told US of Koran Incidents
By Cam Simpson and Mark Silva
The Chicago Tribune,Thursday 19 May 2005
Washington - The International Committee of the Red Cross documented what it called credible information about US personnel disrespecting or mishandling Korans at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and pointed it out to the Pentagon in confidential reports during 2002 and early 2003, an ICRC spokesman said Wednesday.
Representatives of the ICRC, who have played a key role in investigating abuse allegations at the facility in Cuba and other US military prisons, never witnessed such incidents firsthand during on-site visits, said Simon Schorno, an ICRC spokesman in Washington.
But ICRC delegates, who have been granted access to the secretive camp since January 2002, gathered and corroborated enough similar, independent reports from detainees to raise the issue multiple times with Guantanamo commanders and with Pentagon officials, Schorno said in an interview Wednesday.
Following the ICRC's reports, the Defense Department command in Guantanamo issued almost three pages of detailed, written guidelines for treatment of Korans. Schorno said ICRC representatives did not receive any other complaints or document similar incidents following the issuance of the guidelines on Jan. 19, 2003.
The American people should be informed that merely handling the Koran could constitute desecration in the eyes of the Islamic zealot
In regard to Newsweek's apology for its false Koran-in-the-toilet story, Gary Bauer, president of American Values, has commented, "I wonder if anyone at Newsweek recalled that it was the U.S. Government that supplied Korans to the Muslim prisoners in the first place?" The same question applies to the Post. Bauer notes that the U.S. military gives the prisoners access to their holy book while the terrorists cut peoples' heads off. But guess who gets most of the media criticism?
MediaMonitor/Cliff Kincaid
At the moment we have a war on and the funny little foreign people who wear bedsheets have to be kept pacified insofar as is possible. Wait until after the war to move further on this problem.
step 1: place the koran on the ground
step 2: spray it with some cheap petrol
step 3: torch it.
step 4: the end.
To be fair, I doubt that there would be any need for guidelines about handling the Bible because America's enemies don't carry them.
"Sorry, we're not sure what to do with then so we can't let you have them. We wouldn't want to piss off Allah or anything."
You beat me by two posts ;-)
I like that idea!!!
That will really help us and our soldiers around the world.
When handling the Koran, the following SOP is to be observed:
1. Grasp Koran in right hand;
2. Hold "willy" with left hand;
3. Urinate onto Koran until bladder is empty.
All possible care is to be taken so that urine stream does not splash onto the right hand.
Oh boy. Who's got that "I don't care" picture from last night???
I dont think so. Christians know it isnt the Bible that is the important item its the message inside.
Why great consideration is given to their comic-book, I dont know, but it is an abomination (the act of treating it respectfully).
Exceeded only by the stupidity in handing them out to begin with.
Exceeded only by the stupidity in handing them out to begin with.
I need to start complaining now. Loudly and clearly. Before it gets any worse,
If I can just figure out whom to complain o...
But how many more Koran's will be destroyed when blown up inside mosques attacked by Muslim terrorists?
Excellent point.
Concha' know the terrorists are usually a different brand of Moslem than their victims, so they just write it off to "false Korans".
Like this?
According to the secularists the US Constitutions contains the clause about separation of the Church from state, but there is nothing about the Mosque!
Didn't the Wermacht uniform include belt buckles inscribed with "Gott mit uns"? Though, of course, they are no longer our enemy.
I think we should all remember that this pussy-footing around Muslim sensibilities is part of a divide and conqueror strategy. We will need Muslim client governments to keep order in the Muslim world while suppressing Islamism. If this is to be done right, they will need to have a popular mandate from the vast majority of Muslims who (according to the dominant Hanbali school of Koranic intepretation, of which Wahabbism is simply an extreme variant) are 'bad Muslims' for not taking jihad as literal warfare seriously.
It does not help our cause in this regard to needlessly inflame Muslim sensibilities by ill-treating or permitting ill-treatment of their holy book. In this regard, it must be remembered that the Koran occupies a place in Muslim piety which combines the places occupied for traditional Christians by the Bible and the Sacraments. I should not be at all suprised if the Chaplains' Corps has regulations requiring proper conduct with regard to the Sacraments of any of the Christian confessions represented in the Corps, and indeed would be surprised to find the contrary.
I realize many on FR advocate a strategy against Islam as a whole which mirror-images the classical Islamic position vis-a-vis kufir: convert or die. Such a strategy is however, immoral, inhumane, and impractical.
So long as all of the Muslim world has not risen against us as al Qaeda hoped would happen in response to a ham-fisted response to 9/11 (which never materialized, as instead George W. Bush became only the third leader in history to conqueror Afghanistan), the divide-and-conqueror strategy requires us to observe formal 'niceness' toward Islam and things Islamic generically, even as we hunt down and kill any Muslim actively pursuing jihad against us or any other civilized power.
Interesting that you should bring that up. Hitler was actually decidedly anti-Christian and part of his agenda (spelled out in detail in Mein Kampf) was to supplant Christianity with a new state religion based on a combination of socialist ideology and teutonic pagan ritual.
the DOD recruits WICCA and Muslim Chaplins
They should be replaced with translated tear-proofed copies of 'A Patriots History of the United States' and other such appropriate works.
This is so stupid, we are trying to fight the war the PC way. I'm a loyal Savage listener although I have disagreed with him on how the War on Terror is being "Vietnamized" but I'm afraid with this, he is right and I am wrong. Maybe I'll be accused of Abu-Garab tactics but I'd never give these guys the Koran and they would wat what's on the menu of the day or they will do without for that day.
I'm gonna nitpick here. Muhammed didn't "write" the Koran because he was illiterate and the Koran was not put to paper until at least a century after his death. The official story is that Muhammed recited verses that were "revealed" to him, but the evidence suggests that he made it up as he went along.
If you can stomach it, I stronly recommend that you acquaint yourself with Islamic scripture. It is the ugliest body of literature in the history of humankind (on a par with Mein Kampf IMO) and we will not defeat our enemies until we fully understand their motives, their goals and the depth of depravity that they regard as proper behaviour.
Tell me how allowing Wahabists to build Mosques, Islamic Centers and buy up huge tracts of US rural property for their so called summer camps..
Or how the funding of lobbying political buy off machines like CAIR by Wealthy oil Wahabists from Saudi accomplishes this
'Divide and conquer' strategy?
It's right up there with the war on terror stragegy of leaving our borders wide open..
Handing Israel to the Palestinians along with billions of
tax payer dollars
And CAFTA
And his god was closer to Allah than to the true God.
How do the Islamofascist reconcile the fact that the God they call the Koran is printed on paper, which comes from trees, which is apparently printed somewhere, and that along that process some INFIDEL probably handled the material. Are Muslims stupid or what.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if they were found to be printed by some Jewish printing company in New Jersey?
I can imagine in late 2001 asking a question of myself in 2005:
Whats the main story? The smallpox quarantine? Fallout from the Iranian Israeli exchange contaminating Indian crops? A series of bombings in heartland malls?
"Well, no the big story today has to do with soldiers mishandling terrorists' holy texts at a detention center."
Mishandling? How? Like, you mean, they opened it up without first checking to see if it was ticking, and it blew up?
"No, they handled it in a way that disrespected it. Infidels are supposed to use gloves."
Oh. So we lost, then.
HEHE....my thought was a printing company in Israel. ah what irony that would be. Maybe the U.S. military can tell us where the Korans (Gods) are printed that they so disrespectfully handle come from.... NJ sounds like a good place.
I won't hold my breath expecting them to raise such a concern about any non-Christian religion.
a new Koran .... $59.99
Shipping ... $5.00
The look on the insurgent's face when he realizes it was printed in Israel ... Priceless
Good one.
Following ICRC's reports who have been granted access to the secretive camp since January 2002, the Defense Department command in Guantanamo issued almost three pages of detailed, written guidelines for treatment of Korans. ICRC representatives did not receive any other complaints or document similar incidents following the issuance of the guidelines on Jan. 19, 2003.
Also, the New York Magazine found that Arabic-language editions of Newsweek did not carry the retraction of the alleged Koran-flushing story that ran in the English-language. Who's the Inflammer?
Now here's how each prisoner is treated at Guantánamo:
They get a toothbrush, mint-flavored toothpaste, a bottle of "Lively Salon" antidandruff shampoo, soap, flip flops, a foam sleeping mat, two buckets, a washcloth, a canteen, a prayer cap, two blankets, a sheet, a Koran and two towels, one for praying.
And, strangely, they get to write home. It's not that the U.S. military has a soft spot for the mothers of the Taliban or al-Qaida. Instead, base officials try to glean the prisoners' real names from the letters, as many tend to give multiple aliases during interrogations.
When they're done, they're assigned to the cells in which they will begin their new lives. These are 8-feet-square, with chain-link sides and tin roofs. The Halogen lights stay on all night. (Just like the Red Roof Inns ;) )
The next day starts with prayer call about 5 a.m. A sign on a pole at the edge of the camp points the direction to Mecca. The prisoners come from 31 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, Algeria, England, Egypt, Australia, France, Russia, Belgium and Sweden. Base officials say there are Christian prisoners as well as Muslims.
After prayer, the detainees' day goes like this: breakfast, a shower (every other day), sick call, noon prayer, lunch, recreation (15 minutes a couple of times a week), mail call, sunset prayer, dinner, evening prayer and bedtime around 9 p.m. For dinner they get white rice, red beans, a banana and water.
On one side of the scales I see Americans beheaded..then on the other side I see "All the Above".
How to handle the koran ?
"step 1: place the koran on the ground
step 2: spray it with some cheap petrol
step 3: torch it.
step 4: the end."
Smokey the Bear says you forgot the last step:
Step 5: Douse with porcine urine, stir ashes, then douse again.
Christians do not need rules because we don't worship an image (bible).
Savage is a freakiin nut job! I wonder how many CHRISTIANS ARE BEING HELD IN GITMO? Or in ABU GRAEB?
I would urinate on them, I would rip out their pages and clean the excrement from my body with then. I would desecrate them in any manner which I could think. I would urinate in their so-called holy places as they did in the Church of the Nativity. I would defecate on their altars. I would burn their so-called holy scrolls to cook hot dogs and hope the fat of pigs fell on their ashes. I would bring dogs and pigs into their so-called holy places to urinate and defecate as they need.
If any of the cult of that false prophet don't like it, they may kiss my gluetei or my anal sphincter before I shot them with a bullet dipped in the rendered fat of a pig!
Thanks for posting. Savage's recitation of these idiotic rules was powerful.
They left out the most important rule:
Hang on crapper wall to replace the Sears catalog.
Savage is spot on. These savages will kill us in a New York minute and we're worried about paper that was printed who knows where. If we don't get some balls and forget the PC crap, we're done. They care less about our culture and are using our beliefs against us. This is a battle to the end and we must start to realize that we need fight to win, not appease. That's the way I see it.

Posted on 02/18/2013 10:24:26 AM PST by JerseyanExile
The 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery, was ratified in 1865. Lawmakers in Mississippi, however, only got around to officially ratifying the amendment last month -- 148 years later -- thanks to the movie "Lincoln."
The state's historical oversight came to light after Mississippi resident Ranjan Batra saw the Steven Spielberg-directed film last November, the Clarion-Ledger reports.
After watching the film, which depicts the political fight to pass the 13th Amendment, Batra did some research. He learned that the amendment was ratified after three-fourths of the states backed it in December 1865. Four remaining states all eventually ratified the amendment -- except for Mississippi. Mississippi voted to ratify the amendment in 1995 but failed to make it official by notifying the U.S. Archivist.
Batra spoke to another Mississippi resident, Ken Sullivan, who contacted Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann about the oversight. Finally, on Jan. 30, Hosemann sent the Office of the Federal Register a copy of the 1995 resolution, and on Feb. 7, the Federal Register made the ratification official.
(Excerpt) Read more at cbsnews.com ...
I bet Alec Baldwin is pissed.
Banned slavery? It did not...................
who needs a constitution when you have a popular president ! Hell, he doesn't even need to be qualified as long as hes popular.
he can even murder his own people when they protest just like Lincoln did and they will make him into a folk hero because of it !
Mississippi long ago acquiesced to this... it's not like they've been secretly hankering for the old slave order to come back all these years. Amendments don't need unanimous ratification to pass. Fine for a symbolic move, I guess, but Mississippi hasn't particularly been misbehaving.
At least naked chattel slavery, it did. The soft slavery of dependence, it didn't.
I've lived in Mississippi.
No problems.
I'd NOT live in Obamacago....evah...without armor.
Liberals are the baseline from which all intelligence and morality should be measured.
In Mississippi, the (white) rednecks generally will not give black people grief. It's the urban jungles that are fearsome, and almost always their clashes are black-on-black.
"Hey, I said we we'd get 'round to it!"
I LOVE that last line!!!
I LOVE that last line!!!
It's because Mississippi has a primarily Republican congress now.
Section 1.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
If you are convicted of a 'crime' where the punishment is 'involuntary servitude' or 'slavery', it is constitutional.
So, if the Congress makes the punishment for owning an 'unlawful' weapon or light bulb.........
I was raised in Mississippi and we all got along really well, especially the poorest of us........
Individual initiative, capitalism and free-enterprise are found in Mississippi and throughout all of Dixie. The slave states of the 21st Century are clustered along the west coast, the northeast and all of New England. Isn't that odd, the Yankee abolitionists were from that latter region and now slavery is enforced by the edict of law there with forced unionism. The tyranny of Big Labor and its thugs are given free reign in the new slave states.
Just as remarkable is the 2012 election map, above. The states where union thuggery is permitted by law also voted to continue the slavery of the Obama administration. The comparison between the modern free states and the modern slave states is striking. Where liberty is truly cherished, Marxism is soundly repudiated.
Therefore, it will somehow be Republicans' fault that Mississippi has not taken the last step until now.
Well then too, there are some states that never ratified the 16th. amendment. There's plenty of back and forth on that but it's an interesting read:http://www.givemeliberty.org/features/taxes/notratified.htm
Better late than never ping, I guess
None of the new states admitted to the union after 1867 (Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, or Hawaii) would have ratified the 13th. Amendment either. So, big deal!
I was just saying -
Same goes for me. I was raised so far back off in the sticks in deep south Mississippi that we had to pipe in sunshine and I can't remember many problems between blacks and whites.
I grew up in a little town that was about 80% black and we all got along just fine. There were some rich folks in town, but most of our parents were just poor working folk trying to make ends meet. And my mamma would have beat me just as raw for not being polite and respectful to a black man or woman as if it was a white man or woman. It just wasn't done. Everybody knew everybody there and we didn't tolerate that kind of mess.
Maybe it is just the innocent memories of a child, but I remember us getting along just fine down home.
Curses on the ancestors of those who first brought slaves to the New World.
This brings up a unique teenage memory from the 1990s. Michael Moore was on HBO and did a "TV Nation" on this very subject, and I watched it when I was 16 or so. It was in Alabama or Mississipi, and he even had slaves to prove a point like the jerk he is. He was fat then but it was at least 100lbs ago.
So they ratified it back in 1995. Doesn't sound like last month to me.
You ALWAYS referred to an adult, no matter the color, as MR. or MRS. Smith, etc.........
James Meredith's experience was different than your memories, as were the experiences of James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Mickey Schwerner.
Gee, I'm sorry but I refuse to take the blame for the actions of others that I did not encourage nor condone. I merely wrote about the town I grew up in and the way I was raised.
I really don't care about your opinion of my home state or my town. You've probably never been there and for that we are thankful. However, passing your ignorance off as the opinions of a real Scoutmaster is a bit offensive. Your actions bring discredit upon you and the BSA. But, that was probably your intention in choosing that screen name in the first place.
I apologize if you were only talking about your hometown. In recent threads we've had others talking about Mississippi in general, a state I've visited often and with which I'm quite familiar.
Thank you, I accept your apology.
However, know that Mississippi IS my home and I am very proud of her. The state hasn't always been right, her people haven't always been right, but it is a great place nonetheless. No state in the US has a perfect history.
To one degree or another ALL states and all groups of people have been guilty of persecution, murder, debauchery, and slavery whether legalized or just state condoned at one time or another. Judging a state or any other group of people by what has happened in their past is just another liberal way of pushing them down and keeping them in their place. Such is not appropriate in a conservative forum.

Bandits Atop East After Handing Knighthawks First Loss
from Press Release
The Buffalo Bandits (4-1) seized sole possession of first place in the East Division by holding on for an 11-10 home win over the two-time defending champion Rochester Knighthawks (3-1) before 13,339 fans at First Niagara Center on Saturday night.
After opening the season with an embarrassing home loss, Buffalo has roared back with four consecutive victories. For Rochester, it was the first loss of their 2014 campaign in which they are attempting to win an unprecedented third-straight title.
Bandits goaltender Anthony Cosmo played superbly, turning away 46 of Rochester's 56 shots on goal for a .821 save percentage.
"I credit my defense; my defense played incredible in front of me," Cosmo said.
The Buffalo defense was indeed smothering for most of the evening, forcing Knighthawks shooters to the outside and forcing low-percentage shots.
"[The defense] limited the shots to the outside and when they did get inside, I had built enough confidence from those outside shots that I stood behind them and got some luck," Cosmo added.
The strong defensive play only lasted about 55 minutes, however, as Rochester poured in five goals in a 3:35 span closing to within one goal, creating a very nervous energy throughout 'Banditland'.
Buffalo had a seven-goal lead heading in to the fourth quarter, making a Bandits victory appear certain. But Rochester made it very interesting late, outscoring Buffalo 7-1 in the fourth quarter, ultimately falling just short of an improbable comeback.
"In the last five minutes we gave up two pretty quick and I think guys got a little scrambled, our bench got a little bit disorganized," Cosmo admitted. "It's something for us to learn from. In this league, you can't let up for five minutes."
Much of Rochester's success late the game came with their goaltender pulled in favor of an extra attacker, a look to which Buffalo appeared unable to adjust.
"We didn't pressure the ball. Suddenly it was 6-on-5 and we were letting them tee off," Bandits head coach Troy Cordingley said. "We have to be better in a situation like that."
In front of Cosmo, the Bandits defense was strong, controlling the tempo of the Rochester offense. Leading the way defensively was veteran Rory Smith, in his first season as a Bandit.
"Rory Smith is an amazing defender," Cordingley stated. "He's a strong guy, he's great [positionally]… He battles; he's a warrior, and you're going to win with guys that are willing to do that."
Buffalo's offense was powered by none other than the legendary John Tavares, who led all scorers with four goals. Second-year player and local product Joe Resetarits had his first career hat trick with three goals while adding an assist.
Ryan Benesch had six points (0+6) while Shawn Williams (2+3) and Mark Steenhuis (1+4) each had five points for the Bandits.
Rochester scorers were led by Cody Jamieson with six points (3+3) and Joel McCready with five points (3+2).
The first quarter was characterized by absolutely smothering defense by both teams, with only one goal scored and 15 total shots on goal.
In the second frame, Buffalo found a way to solve the Knighthawks stifling 'D', finding the back of the net five times in the quarter.
Meanwhile, Cosmo was phenomenal in goal for Buffalo, holding Rochester to just two goals on 24 shots in the first half. His stellar play included no fewer than five remarkable saves from point blank range; all five were attempts by different Knighthawk players.
Rochester was held without a goal until the 8:16 mark of the second quarter (23:16 shutout streak). It was the longest the Knighthawks were held without a goal to open a game since April 24, 2010 against the Stealth (8:50 of the second quarter).
While Cosmo credited his defense, Rochester's bench boss had other thoughts.
"I think Cosmo was our problem," Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen said. "He played exceptional tonight. I've known 'Coz' for a while and he was making saves like he did as a young guy. Defensively they were real strong in the middle, clogged it up and gave us some back lanes and bad opportunities. But when we did have an opportunity, 'Coz' was there."
The second half opened much like the first, with both teams cracking down on defense, allowing just one each through the first 12 minutes of the frame.
That's when Tavares made his presence felt, scoring a pair of goals in a 1:53 span, the second of which was a gorgeous split dodge followed by a crease dive, burying the ball behind Rochester goaltender Matt Vinc.
On the goal, Tavares looked more like a 22-year-old than the 45-year-old that he is. Tavares disagreed.
"I think I [looked pretty old]; I barely got there," Tavares said. "Vinc came out on me, made it a little easier to reach around him. But it's tough to get to the other side of the crease now; when I dive I land on the same side of the crease.
"It's more like a fall than a dive," he added with a chuckle.
Tavares' third and fourth goals came at a critical time late in the third quarter. With Buffalo leading 7-3,
Rochester's offense was starting to create better chances.
"When you see a team making a little run you want to answer back," he said of his timely goals.
With just 6.6 seconds left in the third, Bandits forward Mark Steenhuis scored, giving the Bandits a 10-3 lead heading into the final quarter.
That would be the last action that Vinc saw, as he was replaced between the pipes by back up Angus Goodleaf.
This was the first time that Vinc, the reigning NLL Goaltender of the Year, failed to see action in the fourth quarter in an appearance since February 8, 2009. 'Vno', as Vinc is known, finished the game with 25 saves on 35 shots, for a less-than-stellar .714 save percentage.
"Vno had a lot of guys in on him," Hasen said. "I think offensively they did a lot of good things, we were second guessing a few times [allowing guys] right in on 'V'. He made a few good saves, and a couple that sneaked by him."
With Goodleaf in goal, Rochester mounted a furious comeback that fell just short.
"We were pressing [late in the game] and they were dropping for us," Hasen said of his team's 'no-quit' attitude. "A little bit of desperation. It's good that we gave ourselves a chance, but they outplayed us for 55 minutes."
Rochester forward Dan Dawson did not play at all in the second half and he was seen walking with a slight limp outside the locker room following the game.
Dawson has appeared in 183 consecutive games, a streak that could be in jeopardy if he's significantly injured.
This early in the season, a game with first place on the line is big, but it's not everything.
"This was a test for both teams," Cordingley said. "Both teams won three games in a row coming into this game and it was a one-goal game.
"It's a good test to see where we're at and what we need to work on."
Both teams are back in action next Saturday February 1, with at home against the Toronto Rock, while Rochester travels west to take on the West division-leading Edmonton Rush.
Three Stars of the Game as selected by the media:
1) Anthony Cosmo
2) John Tavares
3) Joe Resetarits

Reviews: "Fathoms Deep is by far the most comprehensive study of Wisconsin shipwrecks ever attempted. Brendon Baillod has devoted the last 20 years to collecting information about every vessel ever wrecked or built in Wisconsin and the result is a book that provides much more than a simple wreck listing. Without a doubt this reference work would have saved me thousands of dollars and perhaps years of extra searching if I had it 35 years ago! Baillod includes information about the ships that remain undiscovered and tells us how to find them. He gives a detailed maritime history of each port city and explores the reasons behind the large number of shipwrecks. The books is richly illustrated with hundreds of ship pictures and original charts dating back to the 1830s. It will be the standard reference book on the maritime history of southeastern Wisconsin for generations to come."
Jerry Guyer, Pirates Cove Dive Shop/LenDer Dive Charters/PC Search and Salvage, Milwaukee, WI
"Fathoms Deep But Not Forgotten: Wisconsin Lost Ships by Brendon Baillod is a most remarkable text. Volume I covers the area from Kenosha to Port Washington. Baillod is well known as a fastidious and energetic researcher of Great Lakes maritime disasters producing a number of stellar databases and treatises of tremendous value to the overall field. I consider his work on the Griffon to be groundbreaking and certainly the most important accomplished in the last hundred years. Fathoms Deep not only looks at the ships in question, it also places them in context relative to the geographic area, business and industry, communities and overall technological development. Said differently it assesses their role in the maritime history of the Great Lakes. I enthusiastically look forward to the remainder of the series!"
Frederick Stonehouse, Historian & Author, Marquette, MI
"Baillod has created a wonderful resource with Fathoms Deep. It offers a complete overview of Wisconsin's rich maritime history, with a summary of each port's past, focusing in particular on its' shipbuilding and all of the losses along its shores. He has documented both the known and the yet-undiscovered wrecksites, providing his readers with thorough descriptions in either case, and illustrating many with historic photos never before seen in print. Besides having developed an informative profile of each vessel constructed or lost in Wisconsin, Baillod provides guidelines for researching maritime history and for investigating shipwrecks. Fathoms Deep will find enthusiastic audiences among divers, historians, and ship-buffs."
C. Patrick Labadie, Historian, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Alpena, MI
About the Author
Brendon Baillod has been collecting information about Great Lakes shipwrecks for over 20 years. He was born in 1967 in Madison, Wisconsin, the descendent of many generations of Wisconsinites. Brendon grew up in upper Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula where his father taught Environmental Engineering at Michigan Technological University. He attended Calumet High School and Michigan Technological University before moving to Milwaukee. As a young man, Brendon became aware of many shipwrecks in the Keweenaw and developed an interest in scuba diving and maritime history. An early supporter of the Keweenaw Underwater Preserve, Brendon began looking for shipwrecks in the area, identifying several shipwrecks in the Keweenaw Waterway. After moving to Milwaukee, Brendon became active in the Wisconsin Marine Historical Society and assisted in the transcription of the Herman Runge Index Card File and the creation of the WMHS Vessel Enrollment Database. While in Milwaukee, Brendon attended UW-Milwaukee, receiving Bachelor Degrees in Psychology and in Management Information Systems. Throughout the 90s, Brendon collected information on the shipwrecks of Lake Michigan, eventually building a comprehensive database of western Great Lakes shipwrecks. In 1999, Brendon cofounded the Great Lakes Shipwreck Research Foundation and the Ghost Ships Festival, now in its 11th year.
Brendon began collecting archival Great Lakes books, maps and ephemera in the early 1990s, eventually amassing a personal collection of several thousand volumes, including full runs of the Annual List of US Merchant Vessels and most 19th century Great Lakes marine directories. He is now a recognized authority on Great Lakes marine antiquities. Brendon has worked with several collections and institutions around the Lakes to digitize many valuable archival research resources and has placed several important maritime history databases online, including the Dr. Charles E. Feltner Great Lakes Vessel Enrollment Database, the WMHS Vessel Enrollment Database, the David Swayze Great Lakes Shipwreck Database and his own database of over 40,000 19th century Great Lakes vessel accidents. Since 1995, Brendon has hosted the Great Lakes Shipwreck Research internet research portal and has been an active participant in state and regional efforts to study and preserve historic wrecks. In 2003, Brendon was elected a Director-At-Large of the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History, an umbrella organization composed of over 100 Great Lakes maritime museums, historical societies and institutions.
In 2008, Brendon was elected President of the Wisconsin Underwater Archeology Association and continues to regularly conduct and publish original research. He has written over 50 articles and papers on various Great Lakes maritime history topics and is the author of the books Ghosts of the Ozaukee Coast and Ghosts of the Oceana Coast, both dealing with Lake Michigan shipwrecks. Brendon's work has been published in numerous regional journals, magazines and newsletters, and he is frequently interviewed in local and regional media concerning Great Lakes shipwrecks. Brendon has consulted on regional and national documentaries about the Great Lakes and has been featured on the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, the Science Channel and Public Television discussing Great Lakes shipwrecks. Brendon was recently elected to the Board of Trustees of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and continues research, search for, and write about historic Great Lakes shipwrecks. He is married to the former Melissa Niemi of Calumet, Michigan. The Baillod family lives in Marshall, Wisconsin with their son Justin. Brendon works professionally as a senior software engineer for a large financial services corporation where he specializes in the design and development of enterprise business software systems using distributed technologies.

Rocky,You've come a long way fast . Now you can teach me a few things by answering these questions:1) What kind of flour did you use?2) Are you making a 16-inch pie or two 12-inchers?3) Is it common to let a WNY skin proof (rise) before dressing?4) How much Crisco do you have to use to grease the pan (e.g., light or heavy amount), and can you describe the bottom of the crust after the pie is done and how it compares in terms of crust oven spring, color, taste and texture with a pie baked directly on a stone or deck?5) What oven temperature and bake time did you use?6) Are San Marzanos common to use for the WNY style?Thanks.Peter
Rocky,Do you know the prevalence of Polly-O cheese in WNY pizza? I seem to recall driving past one or more Polly-O plants in Buffalo and Rochester. I'm trying to figure out what cheese is used on Batavia, NY pizzas. Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.Cheers,- Fio

A shorter interval between menarche and first sexual intercourse is associated with increased risk of high-grade cervical disease
- Department of Epidemiology, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, USA
- Correspondence to: Dr Jennifer S Smith

Commentary on: Ruiz AM, Ruiz JE, Gavilanes AV, et al. for the FUTURE I and II Study Group. Proximity of first sexual intercourse to menarche and risk of high-grade cervical disease. J Infect Dis 2012;206:1887–96.
Implications for practice and research
Female adolescents with a shorter duration between the age of menarche and first sexual intercourse are at an increased risk of high-grade cervical disease.
Clinical counselling should include clear recommendations to obtain human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination well before first intercourse to reduce the future risk of high-grade cervical lesions among sexually naïve female adolescents.
Ruiz and colleagues present associations between a shorter interval between menarche and first sexual intercourse on subsequent risk of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN-2+) or adenocarcinoma in situ among young women (16–23 years), in phase III randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in Colombia and Finland. Carcinogenic HPV infection is the main …
