Sildenafil (Viagra), whose function is to inhibit a substance called Phosphodiestarase-5 or PDE5 - was initially used only for the treatment of angina pectoris (a cardiovascular problem) and pulmonary hypertension. Incidentally, it was discovered that it could help the issue of erectile dysfunction too, and thus became hugely popular in the late 1990s. The little blue pill, as it was called, ruled more than 50% of the sexual dysfunction market for more than 15 years. However, as its popularity and usage increased, so did the scientific information about this drug, and now there is an increased speculation that it could be contributing to skin cancer, specifically melanoma. This is considered as one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer and so the safety of Viagra sildenafil came into question.
Research has shown that users of Viagra sildenafil are at a higher risk for developing melanoma. There are reports stating that about 45 million men are at an increased risk of developing melanoma due to associated Viagra sildenafil use. The risk of developing melanoma was found to increase in men using ED drugs by 21%. Though there is no conclusive proof as yet that sildenafil is the cause, research is increasingly pointing out its role in melanoma. For example, PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) are known to promote melanin synthesis, which may exacerbate melanoma development.
The analysis of biochemical pathways of this correlation suggests that Viagra sildenafil triggers a special biochemical action involving the growth-stimulating cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate (an intracellular signaling molecule) which in turn promotes the growth of malignant melanoma. In normal cases, the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) regulates the cGMP preventing any adverse cellular activity. Sildenafil inhibits the production of this enzyme, and potentiates a specific cGMP-related biochemical mechanism (called cGMP-cGKI pathway) , and thereby contributes to malignant melanoma. This has been proven to happen in mice and is yet to be proven in humans.
However, there are also reports which suggest that this does not happen due to Viagra sildenafil per se, but due to greater exposure to sun, which even otherwise increases the chances of skin cancer in general, and melanoma in particular. The countering theories also say that the population in which skin cancer was detected, comprised mostly of high income individuals who spent a significant amount of time holidaying on beaches and are not connected to the extensive use of Viagra per se.
Therefore, though there is a correlation that has been established, there is no definite proof that Viagra sildenafil causes skin cancer. It is however, advisable to use ED drugs after medical consultation. If a patient has a genetic predisposition to develop melanoma, it is advisable to seek medical advice before the use of ED drugs. Occasional use should not be harmful. Also, when going out in the sun, limiting exposure to direct sun and UV protection should be managed too.
Thyroid cancer affects the thyroid glands, which are located at the base of the throat. These glands produce thyroid hormones, which help in controlling the blood pressure, heart rate, weight and the body temperature.
Thyroid cancer is primarily of four types:
- Anaplastic carcinoma: This is the most severe type of thyroid cancer which is rare, but spreads extremely fast once the person is affected:
- Follicular carcinoma: This type of thyroid cancer can be cured, but it might relapse. Follicular cancer spreads quickly as well.
- Papillary carcinoma: This type of cancer is more common. It generally affects women who are still of reproductive age. The spread of papillary cancer is gradual and it is less dangerous than the types.
- Medullary carcinoma: This type occurs in the non thyroid cells in the thyroid gland. Medullary cancer is hereditary in nature.
Thyroid cancer has the following signs and symptoms:
- Lumps in the anterior neck, close to the Adam's apple.
- Hoarseness
- Enlarged glands in the neck
- Swallowing difficulties
- Complications in breathing
- Neck or throat pain
- Persistent cough without any signs of a cold.
In Ayurveda, cancer is seen as a hindrance to the life force. The cancer cells lack prana (oxygen) and produce a growth beyond the life force. It is the result of the dominance of any of the three: 'vata', 'kapha' or 'pitta' in the body. Ayurveda is all about balancing the energies in the body. Polluted environment, processed food loaded with preservatives and salts, and certain other factors can greatly affect the 'vata', 'kapha' and 'pitta'. Thyroid is the result of an aberration in the "kapha" dosha in the body.
The endocrine system produces hormones, which help in the overall functioning of the body. The 'kapha' dosha holds the endocrine system together. The thyroid glands are an important part of the body; they are a major endocrine system. Herbs that can help with thyroid cancer:
- Echinacea
- Cleavers
- Black pepper
- Ginger
- Trikatu
- Cayenne
- Cardamom
A breast examination is a way of detecting early changes that may find lumps of other growth in the breast. This is a manual form of examination that may be carried out by the doctor or even by the patient. This kind of examination helps in detecting the onset of breast cancer and helps in successful treatment of the same. It is an essential screening strategy that all women must go through. Let us cast a glance on the various details regarding this examination, and also how frequently it must be conducted.
- Age: Women who have reached the age of 18 are said to have matured physically and sexually. They should perform this examination once they have reached the said age in order to detect any anomalies in the way the physical changes occur in the breast tissue.
- Procedure: One should begin by looking at one's reflection in the mirror to find any rashes or dimpling in the breasts. The shape, size and colour of the breasts and nipples must also be studied so as to check for any anomalies. Inverted nipples, redness and soreness must also be reported to the doctor. Once you are done checking the visuals, you can raise your arms and look for any changes. Then, you will need to lie down and feel your breasts by using a circular motion. The finger pads must be used in order to check for any lumps. One must start from the centre and move the breasts sideways. Any wet and slippery feeling must be reported to the doctor immediately.
- Pressure: During the breast examination, you must use light pressure for the skin and tissue that lie beneath the breasts, while medium to moderate pressure should be used for the middle portion of the breasts. One must use a firm hand to check the tissue that lies at the back of the breasts, near the rib cage.
- Frequency: One must get into the habit of conducting a breast examination at least once a fortnight or once a month, without fail. You can also go to the gynaecologist for an examination in case you are not confident of conducting it on your own with proper movements and accuracy. You may also journalise your breast examination findings.
- Menstrual Cycles: When you are going through your menstrual cycle or period, it is important to remember that your breasts can become tender just before or after the start of the cycle. So, do not panic if you think you have found a lump or any other growth at this time. It is best to check again after a week and then visit the doctor about checking the same. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist.

My friend is suffering from cancer, Recently diagnosis heart problem i.e irregular heart beet & High Triglyceride. Have any suggestion? If any relation between cancer treatment & heart attack.
Penile cancer occurs when cancer.us cells form on tissues of the penis.
If caught early, penile cancer is treatable. In early stages, a cancerous tumour can be removed with little or no damage to the penis. But if it is diagnosed late, a man may lose part of or all of his penis and sometimes his life too. Hence, it's vital that you know more about this cancer.
But first, a small primer on the penis…
The penis has two types of erectile tissues, the spongy tissue that gets engorged with blood leading to an erection:
- Corpora cavernosa: This tissue forms most of the penis.
- Corpus spongiosum: This tissue forms a small portion of the penis. It also surrounds the urethra, a tube that transports urine and sperm to outside.
The erectile tissue comes wrapped in connective tissue and skin to form the organ.
Penile cancer is usually found on the 'glans' or tip of the penis, but can also occur on the shaft of the penis. Some of the common symptoms of penile cancer include sores and lumps on the penis, redness or irritation on the penis and blood discharge.
Factors that increase the risk of developing penile cancer
- Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV): This virus causes cervical cancer in women. Unprotected skin-to-skin contact as well as unprotected sex with multiple partners, increases the risk of a man getting HPV infection.
- Not being circumcised at birth: Circumcision, an operation in which a part or the entire foreskin is removed surgically is a big protection from penile cancer.
- Phimosis: This is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be pulled back over the glans or tip of the penis.
- Poor hygiene
- UV treatment for psoriasis
- Use of tobacco: The chemicals in tobacco smoke lead to genetic changes in cells of the penis, thereby leading to cancer.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Detection and diagnosis are done using tests like a biopsy in which a small sample of tissue is removed from the penis and tested for abnormalities due to cancer.
The most common ways of treating penile cancer include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Chances of Survival
Treatment of penile cancer depends on what stage it is detected at and so is prognosis. The location and size of tumour, and whether cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred also affect prognosis.
For stage I and II penile cancer or cancer that is limited only to the penis, the five-year survival rate is 85%.
The survival rate dips substantially if cancer is diagnosed after it has spread to surrounding tissues or lymph nodes in stage III or IV. The five-year survival rate is just about 59%.
Is there any chance to cause breast cancer if we use endosis medicine. And if close relative suffering breast cancer.
Cancer is curable if diagnosed early and treated properly.
Cervical dysplasia is a type of condition which occurs before cancer. This condition is associated with abnormal cell growth occurring in the cervix, uterus, vagina and endocervical canal. Cervical dysplasia is most commonly caused by the human-papillomavirus and is a sexually transmitted infection or STI. This disease is common in young women under 30 years of age. It is worth noting however that cervical dysplasia can occur at any age whatsoever. Here are the causes of cervical dysplasia.
1. HPV infection
An infection caused by the human papilloma virus is the main reason why cervical dysplasia occurs. It is worth noting that HPV is most commonly transmitted through sex.
2. Smoking
People who smoke are twice as likely to suffer from cervical dysplasia in comparison to those who do not.
3. Immuno suppresive drugs
These are more likely to cause cervical dysplasia because they weaken the immune system of your body.
4. Organ transplant
Organ transplant also increases your chances of cervical dysplasia due to the fact that it weakens your immune system.
This is a disease which also weakens your immune response and therefore increases your chances of contracting cervical dysplasia.
There are not too many symptoms of cervical dysplasia and it can only be diagnosed using a Pap test without which more complicated tests have to be performed.
Once the diagnosis for is complete, several factors will have to be considered before deciding which treatment to give the patient. These include the age of the patient and the severity of the condition. However, in most of the cases women who have cervical dysplasia are not treated and the cell growth goes away on its own however when it is treated the following treatments are used.
2. Cone biopsy
3. Cyrosurgery
4. Electrocauterization
5. Laser surgery
If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist.
Skin cancer has two forms, melanoma and basal cell carcinoma. While the latter could be easily treated and cured, the former is hard to get rid of. Like all other forms of cancer, skin cancer can be easily treated if detected in its early stages. Ayurvedic medicines are known to cure and manage cancer for ages. Also checkout Ayurvedic remedies for healthy Hair.
Here is a list of 9 Ayurvedic medicines that can help in fighting skin cancer.
- Aloe vera: It has numerous skin benefits. For starters, it is considered to be a natural sun skin protector. It protects the skin from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. It stops the production of carcinogen and helps the body to heal faster from cancer.
- Flaxseeds: Apart from being rich in dietary fibre, this seed contains fatty acid micronutrients and lignans. The latter has the ability to stop the cancerous cells from spreading to other parts of the body.
- Astralagus: Astralagus has multiple health benefits. It not only helps to boost the immune system, but helps the body produce skin cancer agents.
- Turmeric: This is one of the oldest Ayurvedic herbs that combat a lot of diseases. Turmeric has a crucial component known as the curcumin. It is an extremely powerful antioxidant that has the capability to stop the growth of cancerous cells.
- Bilberry: Due to the availability of free radicals, bilberry tea can counter skin cancer and helps minimise the damage caused by the cancer cells. They are a strong antioxidant and help the body to recover quickly.
- Hawthorn: Hawthorn berries are strong antioxidants that not only stop the growth of cancer cells, but prevent them from affecting other organs of the body. This fruit should only be consumed if the patient is taking betablockers.
- Artemisia: Commonly known as sweet wormwood, artemisia has a compound known as the artemisinin. Studies have shown that artemisinin can stop the cancer from spreading. Being non-toxic in nature, they have no side effects at all.
- Scutellaria: More commonly known as the Chinese herb, this Ayurvedic herb stops the progression of skin cancer into further stages. They contain a compound known as the flavonoids, which are known to be an anticancer agent.
- Saffron: Saffron has the unique property of slowing down skin cancer growth. Saffron can be applied in the form of extracts in small quantities to get best results. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an ayurveda.

Rock history in your rack.
So maybe you can't afford a vintage 32 channel console. Well, these days, you don't really need one. What you do need is one or two great-sounding input channels. The Trident Series 80B is a two-channel rackmountable version of the legendary Series 80B console. It has two independent channels, each with a microphone/line amplifier and four band equalizer, and it faithfully captures the timbre and feel of the legendary console from Trident Studios in England from the early 1970s.
The Series 80B rack unit is derived from the legendary Series 80 Consoles designed by Malcolm in the late 1970's. It incorporates an exact replica of the mic preamp and equaliser design that gave the original console its unique sound. These consoles have been used to record just about every major artist in the past three decades, including Elton John, Dire Straits, David Bowie, Rod Stewart and Stevie Wonder to name but a few. More recently they have been used to record artists such as Radiohead and Pavarotti.
Input section
The input section of the Series 80B rack is designed specifically for professional audio applications. It consists of a very high quality transformer-coupled microphone amplifier and a separate electronically balanced line input amplifier.The microphone amplifier is of a unique design that is able to handle signal levels from -60dBu to as high as +15dBu without the use of a separate pad switch.
Even though such a wide range of signal levels is accommodated, adjustment of the gain is extremely smooth, particularly at high signal levels where other designs tend to have cramped level adjustment at the end of the control.In addition, it exhibits near theoretical minimum noise figures, has an extremely fast transient response and accommodates a wide range of input levels with a frequency response that extends to above 40kHz. Naturally, best results will be achieved using a high quality condenser microphone. The microphone amplifier will however also bring out the best in either a dynamic or ribbon microphone. The combination of high gain with low noise is particularly useful when working with ribbon microphones as most models have an inherently low output level.
The Series 80B rack incorporates a classic four band equaliser which is identical to that employed in the Trident Series 80 console. It consists of frequency-switchable high and low pass shelving sections, coupled with two swept low and high mid range bands and a switchable 50Hz, 12dB per octave filter. Both swept midranges have been carefully chosen for maximum effect on music programme and a good degree of overlap is provided.
Order now and have some of the greatest recording sounds in history be part of your studio's vocabulary.

People of a certain age sometimes find themselves in need of dental care involving dental crowns instead of a filling, or dental bridges to replace missing teeth. Understandably, in light of the present economy, many patients think first of the expense. But the fact remains that postponed care costs more in the long run, both financially and physically.
In the case of broken teeth, extensive decay or an old filling, a crown is intended to hold the remaining tooth structure together. After a root canal, enamel becomes especially brittle - another candidate for a crown.
A badly damaged tooth, left untreated, causes changes in the mouth that disrupt how the teeth work, chewing patterns, and jaw function. Normal eating habits may be inhibited. Tenderness forces the bite away from one side of the mouth and exerts undue pressure elsewhere. Why not just extract this troublesome tooth?
A missing tooth eventually spells oral disaster, meaning permanent changes to your bite. Because the mouth is dynamic, teeth on either side of an empty space will shift. The teeth next to them move, too. With all this movement, periodontal disease could invade soft tissues. Jaw misalignment, and the pain that goes with it, is likely. So tooth restoration to bolster neighboring teeth and keep the "architecture" of the mouth in good shape is the best course of treatment.
After fillings, crown and bridge work is our first line of defense against oral deterioration. This kind of dentistry brings a lot of satisfaction to both patient and dentist. A transformation happens. With the mouth functioning again, people feel better about themselves.
So call your cosmetic dentist today to find out how you can restore your mouth to total dental health. You'll look and feel better.
There are many cosmetic dentistry options available today that dentists can use to replace missing teeth. The decision to use one instead of another depends on many factors. The best cosmetic dentistry treatment option can be different from person to person or from one area to another in the same mouth.
The purpose of this article is to list the major treatment choices and some of the key factors involved in the cosmetic dentistry treatment decision.
There are four major categories of restorations available for single tooth replacement:
The goal in restoring a missing tooth is choosing the most conservative treatment that will provide you with a restoration that not only looks good but is functional and has long-term stability.
Bonded dental bridges use the teeth adjacent to the empty space to help support the missing tooth. To do this, a very thin piece of metal or tooth-colored material is overlaid and bonded onto the back of the adjacent teeth. Running between these two bonded pieces is a tooth that fills in the empty space.
The main advantage of bonded dental bridges is that it is the most conservative type of dental restoration that uses the adjacent teeth for support. So, if the teeth next to the empty space look good and are not in need of any other type of restorations (fillings), bonded dental bridges may be an option.
However, because this restoration mainly gets its strength from bonding only, the long-term success depends highly on how your teeth fit together, how hard your teeth come together (grinding), and if your teeth are loose or not.
So, how long can this type of dental bridge be expected to last? Looking at long-term research studies, the failure rate is about 25% at five years. This means that one out of every four dental bridges will come off within five years. Generally, they can be re-bonded when they come off, but once it is re-bonded, the chance of it coming off again increases.
A cantilevered type of restoration only uses one tooth next to the empty space to support the missing tooth. Designs for this type of dental bridge can range from only using the back of the tooth (more conservative) to using a full crown to help support the missing tooth (less conservative).
The choice of which is done again involves the amount of force (grinding) that is placed on the teeth and whether the tooth is in need of a full dental crown for any other reason. If used in the correct situation, with no history of grinding, this type of dental bridge has a higher success rate than bonded dental bridges. This type of design is particularly useful for replacing missing lateral incisors.
Conventional dental bridges are generally what people think of when they hear the word "dental bridges." This type of restoration uses crowns on the teeth next to the empty space that are hooked together to help support the missing tooth.
This type of bridge is also the treatment of choice if the two adjacent teeth need to have crowns for other reasons.
Conventional dental bridges are also one of the most predictable of all the options for replacing missing teeth. The failure rate of conventional dental bridges in the dental literature has a wide range of variation, ranging from 20% over 3 years to 3% over 23 years.
A dental implant is a titanium metal "screw" that is placed directly into the bone in the area of the missing tooth. Once the dental implant is integrated into the bone, it will act as the root of the missing tooth. A dental crown can then be made to fit onto the implant.
By far, a dental implant is considered the most conservative of all the aforementioned procedures regarding the adjacent teeth. On the other hand, it may not seem conservative due to the surgical implant placement.
To be able to place a dental implant in the correct position, two main things need to be addressed. The first is whether there is enough bone to hold the dental implant and the second is whether the roots of the adjacent teeth are tilted and in the way of where the implant needs to go.
To overcome these concerns, you may require either bone grafting to increase the amount of bone or orthodontics (braces) to help move the roots of the adjacent teeth out of the way. Although this seems like a lot of work to do in order to place a dental implant, if the teeth next to the empty space look good and are healthy, a dental implant is the only way to replace the missing tooth predictably without altering your own teeth.
As with the other treatment options like dental bridges, the amount of force placed on your teeth (grinding) can have an effect on the long-term predictability of implants and should be evaluated. The failure rate of the dental implant in the front part of the mouth is currently around 5% at ten years.

Dog License Fees
I live in a city that requires owners to license their dogs and to yearly renew said license. Here is the fee schedule:
I bolded that last part because I have noticed something interesting. When registering your dog for the first time, you must select the correct option. If you are licensing an altered dog, then you must provide proof that this procedure was in fact, completed on your dog by a licensed veterinarian. Here is what I have noticed that is of interest: people look at the fees for unaltered pets, and INSTEAD of actually having their dogs fixed, they choose not to license at all. What is the definition of counterproductive?
I cant say that I blame them. Duke is unaltered, but not because I am going to breed him. After much research, I decided to wait until he is 2 years old to have the veterinarian perform that procedure. We are going to obtain a CGC and then try our hand at tracking. He did marvelous in his HotDog Puppy Classes!
What is $60 a year? Well the single Texas State Park Pass (Primary Pass) may be purchased for $70. An additional (secondary) pass may be purchased for $25.
What is the purpose of the fees?
According to the city:
A pet license identifies and protects your pet in case it becomes lost. Even indoor pets can get out and become lost. You are required to renew your license yearly and to keep your license updated when you move and/or your pet is given away, lost, stolen or is deceased. A pet license is not only a requirement, but it provides the following benefits:
A license tells everyone that your pet is not a homeless stray.
When licensed, found pets can be quickly reunited with their owner
BARC will call you or send you a letter if your pet comes to the shelter wearing a license.
Your license is proof that your pet has been vaccinated against rabies.
A license provides emergency medical care for your pet when in the care of BARC
When found, your licensed pet will be cared for at BARC for a longer holding period.
Animal licensing is an essential part of animal care and control in our community. License fees support the return of lost dogs and cats to their homes and help adopt homeless dogs and cats to new families. Other services funded by pet licensing are the prevention of animal neglect or cruelty, spay/neuter programs, over-population programs, and community education services.
I bolded that last bullet point because that is what this all comes down to: the purpose is to have the responsible owners pay for the others who don't bother and/or dont want to spend money on their pets. I am all for those wonderful programs, I just wonder
I have watched the fees keep climbing over the last decade, and I am fairly certain they will continue to rise. Quite frankly, I dont understand the citys thinking. I am willing to bet that over 50% of the dogs in this city are not licensed.
Oh, and the fine for not licensing your dog? It is $112 per dog. They dont have any way to know if your dog is licensed or not, so enforcing it is quite a joke. The only way an owner with an unlicensed dog is caught is when said dog has been picked up by the city and placed into doggy jail erm the shelter.
I know many people who dont license their dogs. One said to me, I bet you think I am an irresponsible owner. I replied, I dont think not licensing your dog makes you an irresponsible owner. I think not spending time with a dog, not training/socializing a dog, not providing any form of ID in case something happens, and not providing medical care and sustenance make a person an irresponsible owner.
That being said, as with all civil disobedience, one must be prepared to handle the consequences.
"Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Fancy meeting you here! Looks like you're a new Protagonize author who's looking for a little help figuring out how this whole thing works, am I right?
Here's a quick introduction to how the site works. This should get you started using the site comfortably. If you have any other questions that aren't answered here, check out our FAQ, or ask a question on the main Help page.
How to use Protagonize
- The anatomy of a work
- Browsing works & profiles
- Reading a work
- Publishing a new work
- Adding new pages
- Keeping track of interesting works, authors, or topics
- Adding a recommendation or rating
- Comments & conversations
- Collaborating with the community:
Getting people to read your stuff
- How notifications work
- Writing tips from our members
The Anatomy of a Work
Works on Protagonize are made up of a set of sections that we call "work pages". There are two types of works on Protagonize: standard (linear) and addventure.
- Standard works are made up of a sequence of linear, back-to-back pages, just like a traditional short story, poem, novella or novel. The author of a standard work can decide whether they want contributors to their works to write their own page titles, or if the page title is decided by the author of the preceding page in the work.
- Addventures are structured like a tree, where the very first "root" page acts as the top of the tree. Addventures are comprised of pages that we often refer to as "branches". These work similarly to a page in a standard story, with one major difference. Each page in an addventure can have one-to-three sub-pages of its own, and the titles of these branches are decided on by the author of the page you're currently reading.
As works on Protagonize are often collaborative, each page can potentially be written by a different author. That's not to say that the original author can't write a few branches too, but generally speaking, collaborative works are open for anyone to contribute to unless the original author has restricted posting in some way (generally via groups). Don't be afraid to jump into a work you find interesting!
Browsing Works & Profiles
As you may have noticed, there are many ways to read works on the site. Most work links will take you to the main "root" page of a work (the first page), but some will jump to pages mid-way through a work. This is by design, and it should be clear which you're seeing when you click the link.
Most pages on the site will offer you links to works in various presentations or categories. Here's an overview of the five major pages that you're likely to use the most.
- The homepage serves as an aggregator of all sorts of interesting site information, from the current most recommended and popular works, to the most frequently used tags, to recent activity. Clicking any item title will take you to that work or page. Clicking a tag or category heading will take you to a list of works in that category, or tagged with that keyword.
- Your Profile page serves as your personal space on the site. You can customize your author profile by adding information about yourself, or an image, and it'll also display your recent contributions and which other authors on the site have added you as a favourite. Other authors can also comment on your profile if they have questions or ideas for you (or if they just want to chat.)
- The Read page gives you a bird's-eye view of the most popular works on the site. You can see listings of top-rated works (for this week, and for all-time), popular works, recent updates and additions, and you'll also be presented with a big list of all site sections (Stories, Poetry, Writing Exercises, and Other Works), categories and tags that you can choose from.
- The Authors page is a tribute to our popular and highly-rated authors. As with the main Stories page, you'll be presented with a list of our top-rated authors for the week and for all-time, as well as our top posters for the week and all-time. You can click through to their author profiles by clicking on their handle (a nom-de-plume, so to speak.)
- The Comments page lets you have a quick look at the current conversations going on throughout the site. All recent story and author profile comments will show up here, for a time. You can also see the top commenters for the current week, and for all-time.
- The Your Works link from the right-hand navigation menu will show you a listing of all stories, branches and chapters that you've written, in reverse chronological order.
Finally, you can also search the site using the Search Protagonize tool at the top of the right-hand navigation menu. We use Google Custom Search as our current search engine, so searching may be slightly out of date from current content. It can take up to 24 hours before a new content item is picked up by Google.
Reading a Story
Reading a story is pretty straightforward. When you hit the main root page of a story, read through the body of that chapter or branch. At the very bottom of the green chapter container, you'll see a highlighted box (or two, or three). That's the next chapter's title, and beneath it is the number of chapters or branches left to read. If you're reading a standard story, only one chapter at a time will be displayed. If you're reading an addventure, you'll see either two or three new branch headings at the end of the current page.
To navigate to the next segment of the story, simply click that chapter or branch heading. Your browser will refresh with the next part of the story. To go back, you can either hit the Back button on your browser (assuming you had just read the previous branch or chapter), or use the handy Previous chapters link at the top of the story box. Clicking that link will pop up a dialog window showing all previous chapters or branches in the story you're currently reading, which makes navigating back and forth much simpler. There's also a Back link in the story actions panel right at the bottom of the story. That will back you up to the previous chapter in the story you're reading, even if you had jumped to this page from elsewhere.
Writing a New Story
Creating your own story is also quite simple. Assuming you've already created a Protagonize account, and you're logged in, just click the big green Write something new! button on the right-hand navigation bar.
At this point, you'll be presented with the main story-writing form. Take a look through the posting guidelines on the right of that page, they'll give you a feel for how things work. Then we can move on to the actual story writing steps:
- The Story Title is the title of not only your story, but of the first chapter of your story. It'll also be used to create a unique link to your story on the site.
- The Story Type is either standard or addventure, as we've discussed previously. If you select standard, you'll be offered the choice of letting follow-up posters write their own chapter titles or not, too.
- The Story Body is where you write the first chapter or branch of your story. It can be as long as you want, but it needs to be at least 140 characters long, to avoid spammy posts. You may also want to keep your first story segment to a reasonable length. If you want to post something long, feel free to split it up into several chapters; just keep in mind that this may scare off other prospective collaborators as they'll see one person posting the first several branches of a story and may not want to interfere.
- If you're writing an addventure, you'll now be presented with three possible Branch Titles. You can enter two or three branches to the story here — try and make them all different, but equally appealing.
- If you're writing a standard story, and you've selected that posters don't write their own chapter titles, you'll see a box to enter the Next chapter's title. This is pretty self-explanatory; it works just like the branches in addventure stories, except it's only for the next chapter. :)
- Now you'll see a box where you can enter Story Tags. These are a selection of keywords that describe your story and the atmosphere and environment that you're trying to present. Separate each tag with a space; you can wrap multi-word tags "in quotes", like so. You'll need to specify at least one tag for your story. People will be able to find your story based on these tags, so make them count!
- You'll also be presented with a list of Categories for your story. As with tags, people will be able to find your story in these categories, so select up to three that fit your story well. Hold CTRL and left-click your mouse to select multiple categories.
- Last, but not least, you'll need to specify whether your story contains mature content. If it's anything behind what we'd consider PG-13, or contains any profanity, you should probably flag it as mature. Keep in mind that mature content doesn't get shown in major public areas of the site (on purpose.)
Once you're done writing and have filled out the form completely, you take a look at how your story will look once it's submitted by hitting the Preview link. If you're satisfied, hit Publish and your story will be created. Ta-da!
More information about writing new works is available in our FAQ.
Writing Chapters or Branches
If you're reading a story on Protagonize, eventually you'll get to a branch or chapter that's incomplete. This means that you can complete that branch yourself, if you're so inclined.
On an incomplete branch or chapter (assuming you're logged in), you'll be presented with a variation on the story-writing form, as we've discussed above. The key difference here is that in most cases, you won't have as much to fill out as if you were creating a whole new story. That makes branching or adding new chapters a little easier. :)
- In a standard story, depending on the story's settings, you may or may not be able to write your own Chapter title. If not, the title will be displayed at the top of the posting form so that you know what you're writing.
- In an addventure, the branch title will already be set, and will show up right above the post body. You can't change it.
- The Chapter or Branch Body is the same as the main story body box. Use the rich text editor to write your chapter just as you would a new story.
- In a standard story, you may be presented with a box to enter the Next chapter's title, which works the same way as we've discussed above.
- In an addventure, you'll now be presented with the standard three branch boxes (only the first two are required.) The difference here is that you may choose to link a branch back to a previous branch in the story, if you so desire. This creates a linkage so that readers clicking that branch title will be redirected back to the linked branch transparently. Use this option at your own risk, as it's possible to create a circular story this way!
Finally, you'll be presented with the standard Publish and Preview buttons. As before, preview your branch or chapter until you're satisfied it's ready to go, then hit publish to post it for the world to read.
You can find more information about posting follow-up branches and chapters in our handy FAQ.
Keeping Track of Interesting Stories & Authors
Protagonize makes a few tools available to you in order to keep track of interesting content on the site. The two of these that you can interact with directly are called Favourites and Page Markers.
Favourites allow you to track either stories or authors that you find interesting. If you're reading a story, you can click the Add Favourite link in the Actions panel at the bottom of the story's content area to track that story. The same goes for author profiles that you find interesting. Once you've clicked the button, it should update to show that you've added a new favourite. Favourites will provide you will notifications (via email if you've set it up that way), either when one of your favourite stories is updated, or when one of your favourite authors posts something new. You can control these notifications via your author profile. Clicking on the My Favourites link from the right-hand navigation will also give you a sortable list of your favourite authors and stories.
Markers are similar to favourites in a way, but they only work with stories; specifically for chapters or branches of a story. Page markers let you mark your place in a story that you're currently reading, so that you can come back to that spot easily. You can also configure your profile to send you emails if anything is posted after your markers in stories that you're reading. Finally, you can also see a sortable list of your markers by clicking My Page Markers from the right-hand navigation menu.
Adding a Rating
If you feel like providing the author of the chapter or branch you just read with some feedback, feel free to submit a rating for it! Adding a rating is very simple: at the bottom of the chapter or branch you just read, you'll see the current rating for that story segment, as well as a box entitled Rate This Branch!.
Underneath that heading, you'll see a greyed out 5-star selection tool. Just move your mouse over the stars — the potential selections will show up beside the rating tool. One star means that you really disliked what you just read, and 5 stars means that it was spectacular. Please try to rate fairly, as your ratings will be used to create reading recommendations for you later on, down the road. The more accurate you are in your ratings, the better our recommendations will be, so it's in your best interest to rate fairly! Also, please try not to rate anyone badly maliciously, as if it happens on a regular basis, we can easily track down the responsible parties as each rating is tagged with your user information in our database.
In addition, we have a handy tool that lets you keep track of stories you've rated in the past. Simply click on My Top Rated from the right-hand navigation menu, and you'll be presented with a sortable listing posts you've rated.
Comments & Conversations
One of the most important parts of Protagonize is the ability to converse with other authors. On every story, branch, chapter, or author profile, you'll see the Post a Comment box at the bottom of the page. To post a comment, simply fill in the text box below, and hit Post Comment. If you're reading a story, you can choose to post the comment either for the entire story, or simply for the branch or chapter you're currently reading. If your comment is specific to that story segment, that might be a better alternative.
In most author comments (on your profile or elsewhere), you can click the View Conversation link to view the discussion between two specific authors. This is a handy way of reading the conversation thread between two parties on the site (or between yourself and another author.) You can also post new author comments via the form on this page.
Collaborating with the Community
If you're not used to social networks or community sites in general, you may not be familiar with the best practices behind belonging and participating in a web community.
The first question you may ask yourself after contributing a new story to Protagonize is: "How do I get people to read my stuff?" While you may feel the urge to shout from the rooftops and tell everyone about your new work, the best method to encourage participation in your story is to join in and participate in the site actively.
Protagonize is a community of authors, ranging from amateur to professional, and there's no better way to generate interest in your own work than to provide feedback or contribute to the works of others. Our community is very vocal and loves a good debate. Feel free to read some of the works of your fellow authors, provide praise or constructive criticism, discuss writing styles, or just say hello on the profiles of authors whose writing you enjoy.
The other added benefit to having people contribute chapters or other feedback — be it comments, ratings, page markers or favourites — to your stories is that the most active stories on the site get boosted up our Hot Stories list, which in turn can generate a lot of attention for your work. So, it pays dividends to participate!
We guarantee that you'll almost immediately reap rewards from your participation in the form of feedback on or contributions to your own writing. And heck, it's fun, and you'll make new friends, so why not?
Tip: One of our moderators, JackRubashevskiy, has a handy guide to Getting Noticed that you may want to check out in our New Members group, too.
How Notifications Work
If you've interacted with the site for a little while, even if you haven't contributed, there's still a good chance that you've seen notifications pop up on the homepage. There's a good explanation of how notifications work over at the Protagonize blog.
There are two different notifications methods you should be aware of:
- E-mail notifications can be controlled via your author profile (go to Edit Profile and click the Notifications tab. Based on your settings, you'll receive emails when, for instance, one of your favourite authors posts a new story or chapter, or if one of your favourite stories is updated.
- On-site notifications show the same notifications as displayed in email, but they're unrestricted. This means that even if you happen to disable a certain type of email notification, you'll still receive it on the site. That way you can still keep tabs on what's been happening on the site and not get emailed about it, if you so desire. On-site notifications are delivered in a couple of spots. On the homepage, you'll see a brief overview of your notifications in the New for you since your last visit... box. You can also click on My Notifications link from the right-hand navigation menu to get a full, detailed list of all of your notifications in the last 7 days.
If you'd like to configure how your notifications show up (particularly email notifications), more information is available in our FAQ.
In the future, we also plan on providing an RSS feed of your notifications. We'll let you know once that's ready to go live!
Writing Tips from Our Members
One of our former featured authors (and a regular Protagonist), Dysphemism, has some excellent tips on his profile for writing on Protagonize, and we thought we'd share them with you:
- Tags provide a greatly ignored service to your work. Please add as many relevant tags as possible.
- Always split big chunks of prose into paragraphs, no matter how disorganized. People will be unwilling to read huge blocks of text.
- Ratings will rarely ever tell you anything worthwhile about a writer, story, branch or chapter. Comments and readings tell far more.
- Giving constructive criticism and well-thought praise is far more useful than a rating.
- When branching, please consider any pre-established level of formality, narrative mode, style and themes. Otherwise, you may be irreparably damaging something dear to someone else.
- Ending branches and chapters on cliff-hangers is a common and effective technique to keep the reader's interest.
- If you don't want to see anyone block the direction in which you want one of your stories to go, state your intentions in the comments and trust your co-authors to respect them. Otherwise, anything can happen.
- Be as gentle as possible when giving advice.
Thanks to Dysphemism for those excellent tips! In addition, we'd like to suggest one last thing: spell-check your work! Taking the time to read though your work and correct spelling mistakes goes a long way to engaging your readers.

My love of trains goes back to childhood when our family sat on the front porch of our home in North Dakota and listened to the chugs and snorts of the steam engines as they hauled freight and passengers across the prairies. This affection was enhanced when my dad got a job on the railroad, a move that furthered my dream of someday riding in a caboose. And when it happened, I was moving royalty, seated in the cupola of the little red car and waving to the wheat fields and little towns that dotted the flatlands.
Those days are gone, but a few avenues remain where I and others like me can live go back to those thrilling days of yesteryear. They're called excursion trains now, but they serve the same purpose. Four of them are located in the Southwest, so with a little planning I can ride them all in less than a week.
The most authentic is the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado. It started operations in 1882, hauling gold and silver ore and passengers between the two mountainous communities, and it still uses much of its original equipment, carefully restored to near-original condition.
Now passengers are the main cargo when the train leaves Durango early in the morning for the journey through the mountains to Silverton. It's a nine-hour excursion – three and one-half hours each way and a two-hour layover in Silverton. On the way, the coal-fired steam engines haul their human freight past waterfalls, into wildlife territory and through pine-forested mountain peaks. When winter's snows block the tracks, the line offers a variety of shorter packages, all leaving from Durango.
The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is unique for a couple of reasons. First, it's the longest narrow gauge railroad still operating in the nation. Second, it's jointly owned by Colorado and New Mexico. The line started in 1880 to haul ore, livestock and timber out of the mountains. It also carried passengers until 1951, then went out of business in 1967. By 1970, with the help of railroad enthusiasts, the two states bought the land and agreed to run the railroad as an excursion train, governed by a bi-state commission.
As it makes its regular 64-mile round trip runs between Chama, N.M., and Antonito, Colorado, the train – pulled by old steam engines — crosses the Colorado-New Mexico border 11 times and climbs more than 3,000 feet. From late May through mid-October, the venture offers a variety of packages; some of them include overnight stays and bus rides.
The Verde Canyon Railroad operated primarily as a freight line from 1913 until shutting down in the 1970s. It was resurrected as an excursion train in 1990 and now takes passengers on round trips from Clarkdale to Perkinsville, a ghost town in Arizona's scenic Verde Valley. On the way, the diesel-powered FP7 locomotives stroll leisurely along (at 12 m.p.h.) as they pull vintage restored cars and outdoor viewing platforms through a 680-foot long man made tunnel and colorful geologic formations, and across narrow trestles and steel bridges.
The four-hour journeys begin in Clarkdale and follow the Verde River to Perkinsville, while musicians stroll through the richly-decorated cars and, occasionally, a bald eagle will stare down at the 18-car caravan on steel rails.
The destination is the high point for those who book passage on Arizona's Grand Canyon Railway because when they get there, they get to look into the world's longest and deepest gorge, the Grand Canyon. But the trip itself isn't bad, either. The train leaves Williams every morning
on a 65-mile, five-hour round trip through open plains, high desert and pine forests.
The railroad hauled ore, timber and freight between Williams and the Grand Canyon from 1901 until 1968, when it ceased operation. Now privately-owned, it began passenger service in 1989 and has hauled more than 2.5 million people to the canyon since then. Sadly, its aged steam locomotive had to be replaced by a newer diesel engine a few years ago. But only those old enough to miss the chugging and puffing will notice the change.
Each railroad offers a variety of packages. For details, look to the Internet because each one has a Web site.

My sister and I were cleaning out my aunts house and found 2 laptops. 1 an ibm think pad, i was able to do a system restore on it. The 2nd is aPersonal computer Modle # N35BS8. It has Windows XP pro. I can not get in The User Name is Administrator and I have no idea of the password, How can I get in to do a system restore? I cant ask my aunt, she died.
Boot the computer into safe mode there may be a default admin account there with no password
Use that to alter the other passwords
Start into SAFE MODE
1/As your computer starts but before Windows launches, press F8 repeatedly.
2/Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.
3/If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
Note: If Windows launches before you can choose a safe mode, restart your computer and try again
PS/ Sometimes it maybe the F5 key
Upon pressing F8
safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command propt
Enable boot logging
EABLE VGA Mode
Last Known good configuration
Directory Services Restore Mode ( Windows domain controllers)
Debugging Mode
Disable automatic restart on system failure
Start Windows normally
Return yo OS choices Menu
I have tryed to start in safe mode, no luck..
I dont care what is on this computer as far as my aunts programs. I just want the thing to run and I will put my own programs in. So far I have not been able to get by the login/ Ctrl-Alt-Del opens the adin login and that is as far as I can get.
Please help, cant afford to bring this to a computer shop and my wife needs a laptop so that she is not always on mine.....
lavalleesp, hi. First, my sympathies to you and your family.
If you have a Windows XP CD, I'd suggest you do a clean install. You should look online for any drivers you're likely to need first though, just to be sure you CAN obtain them.
I downloaded Ophcrack on to a removable drive and pluged it into the other laptop and rather than openning it continues to the Windows xp "press Ctrl-Alt-Del" I am still not getting any where......
The file you downloaded would be a zip file with an extension.iso. What you need to do is burn this iso to a cd. Just load the zip file as it was downloaded into the burner program. Img is probably the best one. Put this cd into the problem computer making sure you set the computer to boot with the cd/dvd drive. When the computer boots to the first screen, there is usually a message showing what key to press "mine is F12" When the cd loads, follow the instructions.
AS Ivct says it's an iso file and it needs to be burnt to cd with imagburn or similar and your boot sequence needs to have the dvd/cd player first in the list.
I've copied my instructions to here:
"Install Imgburn. OPen it. Where it says: Please Select A File click on the icon on the same line to the right and find the Ophcrack ISO and click on it then OK. Insert disk. Select: Write Image File to Disk (select a slow speed first). Leave disk in tray and make sure your computer is set to boot from CD first in the BIOS.
Leave it and don't touch anything ..leave it to do its stuff. At the first screen make sure it's on Auto (first option). Press Enter or leave it if it's on that.
In the bottom section you'll see the RAM progress bar filling up slowly....when it reaches 100% you should see the password in the top section.
Logout and reboot without the disk in. Enter your password"
No matter what I do everything leads back to windows XP opening and it goes directly to a box that says preparing network connections (please wait) then it opens another box "Welcome to Windows" press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to begin. After pressing these keys "Log on to Windows"
Username : Administrator
And that is it. From the F5 key safe mode and a bunch of other thing, nothing works..........Ready for a sledge hammer!!
Are you saying it will NOT boot from a Boot CD ???
If it will NOT, then Bios Device Boot Sequence has probably been changed
and the Bios may have a password also.
Someone took great pains to to secure the machine.
It this be the case;
1. MUST Clear CMOS Password and Figure out how to get into Bios.
2. Take drive out, use adapters and hook into a second machine to read drive or format drive.
(may be encrypted)
Rick P.
You could try burning Hirens Boot CD and clear the password that way. Similar to OPcrack but much better in my opinion. http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
But you will need to change the BIOS so the cd boots first. Common ways are Delete, F12, F2, ESC, F10 buttons to get into the BIOS. Does your BIOS have a password on it?
read this bottom follow my last two posts, it worked for me 'read the walkthorugh'
you can put on usb/or cd. i went with the usb,have now got it on cd,hope this helps.
this one starts even before the F1+F12 appear... a little o appears in the L/hand corner and your in .
It will only help if he can get into the BIOS and change the boot order. Let's hope he can!

The Management Track will focus on adapting to emerging digital platforms, improving management skills, and how to enhance employee recruitment and retention. Finally, the Sales Track will feature sessions covering everything from the basics to developing new digital revenue streams. Saturday highlights include a kick-off keynote, a unique luncheon, and a not-to-be-missed send-off cocktail reception to conclude the day.
A complete agenda will be available shortly on the Conclave website, http://www.theconclave.com.
This will be a very unique Learning Conference, held in partnership with the MBA, said Mark Bolke, Chairman of the Conclave Board. We polled owners, managers, air-talent and industry leaders for their input on the best timing and necessary content for this event. Armed with that data we intend to continue the Conclave tradition of presenting a valuable, cutting-edge learning experience made deeper with the agenda input and partnership of the Minnesota Broadcast Association. Programmers, talent, sellers, managers, and future broadcasters will all benefit from this streamlined event.
The introductory tuition for the 2014 Learning Conference is just $249 until August 31, 2014; the Conclave website is now hosting on-line registration for the event. When MBA registration begins on July 30, its members will receive a discounted tuition rate by contacting the MBA directly.
A limited number of specially priced Conclave sleeping rooms ($99 single/double) at the Crowne Plaza are available now via the Conclave website. Attendees may also secure a room directly through the Crowne Plaza, using the special code CON to receive a discounted room while supplies last.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The property is surely not few steps away from San Marco as stated. The facilities are very minimal . There is no one to ask for advice or help if needed urgently, we were met by a guy called Marco who took us to the flat, of course we were charged for all the services.
This flat is a bit over stated.
Our stay was perfect, everything were working well, the place was clean, safe and full of equipaments.
The reception person was very educated and helpful.
We recomend to stay in Valentina's apartament en Venice.
A very nice appartment in a cosy and very calm area. Good view at the canal. And quite central in Venice. We enjoyed the stay in a "real Venetian appartment". Good info from Marco, who met us at the boat.
Good location and spacious but maintenance issues.
Very good. Beautiful apartment in the centre! We enjoyed a lot!
The apartment was great - terrific location and well equipped. We found it easy to enjoy the best of Venice in our own time though the casino was not on our itinerary. A quiet spot that delighted the whole family. Thanks.
If you want to stay in the heart of Venice I recommend you contact Valentina.
We were originally booked to stay in this property but due to some building works we were relocated to another fantatastic apartment in the heart of Venice just near Piaza San Marco.
Valentina and her assistant were only too helpful.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable with all that a couple or a couple plus child will need and of course all in fabulous Venice is walking distance.
Mark and Family
+ Very central and quiet location - It was not enough toilet paper available - coffee maker was broken - The dishes were not clean
+ Sehr zentrale und ruhige Lage
- Es war nicht genug WC-Papier vorhanden
- Kaffeemaschine war kaputt
- Geschirr war nicht sauber
Excellent location. Stick your head out of the window and you can see into St. Mark's Square. Amply equipped with dishes and linens. Only problem is that the sofa bed in the living room is heavily infested with either fleas or bedbugs. The two regular beds had no such problem.
Valentina manages his apartment as a business too impersonal. For that I had gone to a hotel. Do not answer emails. The apartment is well, is nice, but ought to indicate more clearly the area and a description. The beds are pushed together, with springs and sink and one of them is very poor quality mattresses, not sleeping well. Low electrical power contracted, put the oven to heat frozen pizza and jumped automatic. The dining table and have to fix the furniture where it gets the dishes too. In the rest of the apartment is clean, friendly, has everything and is central.
Valentina maneja su apartamento como un negocio demasiado impersonal. Para eso me hubiese ido a un hotel.
No contesta los correos electrónicos.
El apartamento está bien, es agradable, pero debiese indicar con más claridad la zona y hacer una descripción.
Las camas matrimoniales son individuales unidas, con resortes y se hunden y una de ellas tiene colchones de muy mala calidad, no se duerme bien.
Baja potencia electrica contratada, pusimos el horno para calentar pizzas congeladas y saltó el automático.
La mesa del comedor hay que arreglarla y los muebles donde se pone la loza también.
En el resto el apartamento esta limpio, es acogedor, tiene de todo y es centrico.

H.S. boys basketball: Ailing Josh Marquez leads DePaul over Bergen Catholic
WAYNE – Josh Marquez already was fighting off the remnants of the flu. When he injured his ankle in the second quarter, it added to his list of ailments. But he still managed to put forth a big effort when DePaul needed it.
A senior shooting guard from Woodland Park, Marquez scored 17 points and had four assists and four steals to help DePaul to a 67-54 victory in a Big North Conference United Division boys basketball game Thursday night.
"We had been playing for a while with only six players and tonight we had eight and so we were able to rest our starters just a little bit more," DePaul coach Ryan Hagen said. "Josh has really been battling with sickness and he got hurt a little bit there, but he got through it just as our team has done all year long. We did lose focus one or two times, but we were able to get ourselves back in the right frame of mind in time against a really good Bergen Catholic team."
DePaul was also sparked by a game-high 19 points, six assists and five steals from point guard Juwuan Carter and 13 points and three assists from Jordan Thomas, a freshman guard from Paterson.
"That was the best that Jordan played all year long and Juwuan played his usually steady floor game," Hagen said. "We had a tough loss against Passaic Tech Tuesday night and this was a good way to rebound from that."
DePaul (11-2) had taken a 31-19 lead on a three-pointer by Tyler Hoskins with 2:46 left in the first half.
But Bergen Catholic (6-6) whittled its deficit to 33-27 at halftime and then pulled to 37-36 with 4:43 remaining in the third quarter on Gilberto Cue's shot from beyond the arc. Cue, a freshman point guard from North Bergen, scored a team-high 18 points with four three-pointers and junior shooting guard Leon Fowler had 10 points with three three-pointers to help keep the Crusaders in the game.
"We played hard, but the little things kept hurting us," Bergen Catholic coach Billy Armstrong said. "We threw the ball away way too many times. In the first half alone, we gave them four layups for uncontested points off steals, including a dunk. If we can take away those turnovers, we can make it a different game."
Matej Jurcevic, a 6-foot-9 junior transfer from Croatia who lives in Tenafly, scored 13 points and had a game-high 14 rebounds for Bergen Catholic. Brandon Johnson had 11 rebounds for the Crusaders.
Cue's three-pointer from the top of the key and layup cut Bergen Catholic's deficit to 52-47 with 5:29 left in the fourth. But sophomore small forward Donte Wise (eight points), who was playing his second game since becoming eligible after transferring from Kennedy, made a layup to start a 12-6 run by the Spartans that put the game out of reach at 64-53 with 51 seconds left.
"Overall, we did some good things out there and we do have at least some depth now," Hagen said. "When we are on our game, we can be difficult to defend. But Bergen Catholic is also very talented and they made us work for everything we got."

1 Recommendation
hollyaguirre's recommendation
I am all about ratting out Napa Valleyâs best kept secret. The tasting room is located in a historic outhouse and the vines and wines are to die for. Try the Sangiovese and the Chardonnay. I often am experted to give clients gifts and this is one they don't soon forget.

text: On a totally unrelated side note. Everyone who has the No Jerry Jones avatar now loos like the same poster. I understand that its some sort of solidarity thing goin on, but it just makes it look like one poster with no real personality to me. Kind of annoying and I tend to just glance over the post when I see that. Maybe it's just me. Do what you want. Found it funny to see NO JJ 1 disagreeing with NO JJ 2 though.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Here are a couple of flannels I finished.
Texas Hold'em
Winter Gardens by thimbleberries
Great job. Did you piece them on a foundation of some kind? I find that flannels stretch. The only all flannel quilt I have made is one of those rag ones. I do use flannel on the back of baby or Linus quilts.
oh cool.... i love them.
I am thinking of making a flannel quilt - any suggestions you can offer?
BTW - your quilts are beautiful.
sure pretty....look nice and warm too!.....:-)
Wow!!! I love them both!!! Love the colors you used! I bet their soooo soft & cuddly!! :D
Thank you. They are warm and nice to snuggle in. My favorites here in the North.
I've never had a problem with flannel, no foundations. Just piecing like you would cotton. Just be sure to prewash.
I like the weight so I still use batting even if the backing is flannel.
Pretty quilts. Nice and warm and soft. I have made a few flannel quilts, have lots of pretty flannels to make more...

The rule penalizing college teams for poor graduation rates is the best idea the NCAA has come up with in years.
The idea of the student-athlete is becoming more of a myth every year. It's about time the NCAA tries to reverse that trend.
Schools that graduate less than half their players will lose 5 to 10 percent of their athletic scholarships. A second consecutive year of poor graduate rates would result in recruiting restrictions and more scholarship cuts. A third year could result in a ban from post-season play. A fourth year could threaten a school's Division I membership status.
"This is a very strong standard," said NCAA president Myles Brand. "They have reinforced the idea that student-athletes are students first."
Most college athletic teams won't be affected. Graduation rates for Division I and II schools show athletes on average graduate at a higher rate than the general student body. The problem is the high profile sports such as football and men's basketball.
Walter Harrison, chairman of the NCAA's committee on academic performance, said almost a third of major college football teams, more than a fifth of men's basketball and almost a quarter of baseball teams stand to lose scholarships if they don't improve in the classroom.
The NCAA has a penchant for complicated rules that leave plenty of room for arguments and lawsuits, and this one is no exception. A little more simplicity would be good. But the NCAA is moving in the right direction.
