Florecer Group
Florecer Group's story
The Friendship Bridge Trust Bank "Florecer", a Spanish verb meaning "to flourish" is located in the department of Totonicapan and is beginning their second loan cycle with KIVA. The 8 ladies in the group say that their first loan cycle yielded positive results. Their businesses include animal husbandry, convenience stores and tailoring. They benefitted from the educational trainings at their monthly meetings, part of the "Microcredit Plus" Program of Friendship Bridge (loans + education). Virginia is the 38 year old President of the group who has a 4th grade education. She has 6 children who range in age from 20 months to 21 years of age. She is a seamstress and sews pants. Because September is the beginning of the high season with holidays and graduations, Virginia would like to secure capital to buy a sewing machine that she hopes will help her to diversify and increase her inventory of pants popular with her clientele. Virginia has learned a lot about managing her business through the educational trainings she has participated in each month. Especially relevant have been those dealing with planning and investing. She has learned to care for herself and her family with new insights into nutrition, hygiene, health and the use of medicinal plants. Thank you, KIVA investors, for helping these ladies in "Florecer" to really flourish! You are helping them step into a brighter world, benefitting themselves, their families and their community in Totonicapan!

More about this loan
About Friendship Bridge:
This loan is administered by Friendship Bridge (FB), a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that empowers thousands of impoverished Guatemalan women through its Microcredit Plus program. The program combines small loans averaging US$350 for four-to-twelve month loan terms with non-formal, participatory education.
As FB clients, women start, expand, or diversify their businesses and learn practical lessons on topics including business, health, and self-esteem. FB's clients borrow as a group, forming Trust Banks (groups of 7-25 women who serve as co-guarantors of the loan and act as a self-regulating support network).

Optimizing V6 performance, Infront of a T-400 TRANS.
Im having alot of trouble with such things as stall rpm and gears. My poor 231cu 3.8l buick v6 motor just doesent make alot of power, not to mention it has to pull my 82 chevy truck around, now with a TH400 trans. Im hoping this doesent turn out to be as big of a negative deal as everyone is saying. What are the best things i can do to help the motor? Im confused if a higher or lower stall rpm would be good, gears? Any upgrades i can do to the trans to ease the drag?
I should mention the th400 is out of the truck still, never installed. Waiting on torque converter choice. My TH-200 finally bit the bullet.
the th 400 take a lot of hp to turn id use a 350 the 200 is lighter but in a truck may not be strong enough use a 350 with a stock converter mild shift kit youlll have a good driver
Buick 231..........
Hi,i have a warmed over Buick 231 in my 83 Toyota pickup,its dependable,but not a fast motor,AND my truck is a LOT lighter than yours.i think a 350 SB is the way to go. (i have that engine in my 83 C-10,with a 700R4.)
What is the rear axle ratio?
My Aerostar does alright with a 4.0 Liter (244 Cu in) engine, 3.73 rear axle ratio, and 14 inch wheels.
looking into going 3.73 but its whatever came from the factory in there now im sure. Its a 1982 chevy c10 silverado. im not looking for advice on what engine or trans too choose. I already have a buick 231 3.8l v6 in the truck, and im about to put a TH400 behind it. Just wondering what gear/stall ratio is going to be best to help the motor out. Or if maybe there is an upgrade for the 400 that makes it less draggy. I guess im asking if anyone knows where to find factory torque curves for this motor..
But until you know what gear is in it now, this is guesswork. You can check the RPO code sticker (often in the glove box) and see what the ratio was originally in it- it's likely the same as when it was new.
More on checking the gear ratio here.
3.73 0r 4.10 uuse a stock converter
Only thing I can add is I hope you weren't looking for economy in this deal.
you'll need a 3.42, 3.55 3.73 and an 1800-2000rpm converter to help that little 6er get it done.
Nothing wrong with a V6 fullsize PU; we had a mid 90s chevy 1500 with a V6, 700r4 and 4wd with 'helper springs' in the back. Plowed huge piles of snow, towed horse trailers, loaded tons of hay and grain in the back.
It did better on gas than our old 70s era power wagon (360, 727 and I think 4.56s) but not by much really. The deeper 1st gear of the 700 would make life easier, not to mention the OD (don't tow heavy in OD though); but, use what you've got...just be realistic
Yeah, i know this isent ideal for any reason at all. hopefully ill be throwing in a 350 but well see how money works out. Surely ill get alittle better gas milage not having to floor it everywhere i go at 30 mph. Also was hoping someone could give me some insight on this transmission.. the ID tag reads. 82 FM 32940
82 = year
FM = code for the model the trans was installed in: 350 V8, Series 30 (large truck)
32940 = could be a serial number and possibly a Julian date code could be there.
A list of the TH400 model ID codes can be seen here.
thanks! Does anyone know if there is a truck with the driveshaft I need? Shouldnt I beable to find a truck with a th400, yank the shaft and yoke, shift linkage and roll? As long as the truck is single cab and regular sized bed like mine?
My 85 C10 has 3.73 rear , 305/ th350 c , performer cam/intake ,vortec 906 heads shaved, 100 headers, stock qjet, and a dynamic 3000 stall. Vortec heads and the stall add so much to the performance. The launch is very strong and governor recalibrated for 5200 shifts. This makes for a dependable fun utility vehicle.
A higher stall can really get you going for the hole and not sacrifice a thing.
Do you have an adapter plate to mate the GM truck trans up to the BOP bolt pattern?
Would that 30 series trans possibly use a bolt on yoke?
yes i bought a chevy to BOP bolt pattern adapter. its 1/8" thick.. i still havent figured out what im going to do about a driveshaft... got new trans cooler with fan from jegs yesterday with the adapter plate, dipstick and new champion 2 core radi. Couldn't stand to let my new trans drink fluid from the stock cooler. I should be getting the summit 17 - 2000 converter tomorrow as well! Does the fluid that you put in the converter stay in the converter? what about 50/50 lucas n fluid in the converter? Or does it all just mix? I already mix two bottles with my fluid changes.. :thumbup:
going to the junk yard tomorrow to hunt a yoke and maybe a driveshaft??

The Triangle
Anchorpoint City, 2082. Half a year after the death of his lover Takeshi, Rory remains devastated, deflecting Nick's attempts to draw him out. Lorcan takes it upon himself to coax Rory back to life. Then an innocent gesture of affection explodes into a sensational scandal, forcing them to make choices they would otherwise never have considered. Will their friendship survive the pressure of Nightwalker politics, or will their relationship be just another casualty of war?
The Spacers
In memory of his love for Tobias, Rafael became Antonio's closest friend and ally, supporting his protégé's advancement in the Spacer Guild despite Nick's deep disapproval. Captain of the Jumpvessel Singularity, Antonio has spent his entire adult life navigating the void between the stars, blissfully avoiding any part of the fate decreed for him in the war between the White Wind and the Red. Mentor and student are reunited when Antonio returns home on the one hundredth anniversary of his father's death, intending to stay only long enough to pay his respects to a man he never had a chance to know and the family he left behind. But in a world where immortality is commonplace, death is not always what it seems, and destiny is not so easily cast aside.
The Spy
Razheel has served the Court of Shadows with honor for over a century as the Night's Herald, never openly taking sides in the divide between Nightwalker and Daywalker alliances. Now, after thirty thousand years of conflict, something new walks the Earth, which may be the greatest weapon yet in the battle between the races. As Antonio's fate becomes clear, she steps seamlessly into the role of revolutionary, and her carefully planned insurrection will set the Nightwalker race on the path to final victory, or to total extinction.

Getting up can be a struggle, and beeping alarm clocks don't help matters. But what if you could be roused to your favourite smell? That's the idea behind SensorWake.
Choose from scents as diverse as coffee, croissants, the ocean and even the smell of money! The capsules come in packs of two, with each having enough smelliness to wake you up 60 times. The packs are: American breakfast (bacon and freshly squeezed orange juice), continental breakfast (espresso and hot croissant), candy rush (sweet peach and strawberry candy), enjoy the break (seaside (mono, tiara flower) and lush jungle (cut grass, leaves), invigorating aromatherapy (purifying tea tree and harmonious chocolate), vitalisation aromatherapy (stimulating ginger and invigorating peppermint) and VIP lounge (dollar and ebony luxury).
According to the makers, the scents are dosed just right, and wake you up in under two minutes 99 per cent of the time. If you're not woken after three minutes, there's an audio alarm as back-up.
It sounds pretty simple to use. You just set the wake-up time, then insert the scent of your choice – it's as easy as sliding a capsule into a coffee machine. Come your wake-up time, it'll start pumping out the smell, and you should be woken within two minutes.
The makers claim it's a more relaxing way to start the day, instead of being jolted awake by a loud alarm.

This is really good information, and I appreciate you taking the time to post it. I will be happy to send these comments to the people who work closest with the software.
Allow me a few follow ups:
1. When you say (#2) that content that plays one day - which content are you referring to? (Or all the formats experiencing this?)
2. Could you explain the importance of this to an R&D guy who might read this? Was this a comparative term with WMP11?
3. The MKV content - does it match the container, codec and audio codec as listed in the manual? All three of those criteria must be met for the file to play properly.
Hello, it's been about 4 weeks since i bought my le32b650 and i've already connected it using Ethernet cable with my WinXp. I've been able to play almost every content i've tried but i have a few observations..
1. The software runs slowly. REALLY slowly. When you browse for a folder, it usually takes 10 seconds to list 5 folders in the folder treeview.
2. In some cases, content that plays one day, the next day will not. Strange behavior.
3. Microsoft Media Player 11 can publish content without the need to apply changes every time.
4. Some mkv content i've tried to play in 1080p, continuously got me a message that the request cannot be completed. After loading and refreshing the content, i close the Samsung pc Share software, kill the server, then restart the software (so the server restarts again too) and everything is ok.
5. No drag&Drop support for windows folders. The gridview should accept folder/objects from the WinXP windows. Sharing would be much easier.
6. Still no FF/RW for the MKV using DLNA. If i play mkv content from my usb, there is FF/RW support... very strange.
Anyway a think i got everything i had in mind till now.
I home someone from the samsung software RnD department gets a memo

http://changingattitude.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/David-Kato-Uganda.jpg 658w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Three years ago today, David Kato Kisule the Advocacy & Litigation Officer for SMUG, Sexual Minorities Uganda, was murdered in cold blood at his house in Mukono. A memorial service is being held this Sunday afternoon to remember David and celebrate his life at St. Paul's Reconciliation & Equality Centre, Kampala.
Call Me Kuchu, a film about David's life and work, was being made prior to his murder. David was the first gay man to be open about his sexuality in Uganda and one of the very few who dared to protest publicly against state-sanctioned homophobia in the country.
The Anti-Homosexuality Bill which awaits the President's signature was tabled prior to David's murder. It has increased the level of fear under which LGB&T people live in Uganda and the prejudice against LGB&T people in the country. Christian bishops and leaders are among those clamoring most strongly for the bill to be signed.
I never imagined that instead of homophobia and prejudice being gradually reduced and eventually eliminated in those countries where anti-gay legislation is still enshrined in law, in certain countries, including Russia, India, and Nigeria, and possibly Uganda, it is being legitimated by the passage of new laws.
This is now the most serious issue dividing the Anglican Communion, based on dramatically different interpretations of the Bible and radically different understandings of what Jesus taught and Christianity represents. Some believe in a God who is judgmental and discriminatory and punishes people on the basis of their performance in life, assessed by these Christians on their use and interpretation of certain texts.
My friends and colleagues, Christian and post-Christian and ex-Christian, reject such an understanding of Christianity, witnessing the evils which it legitimates. Love, unconditional, infinite love, grace, creation evolving within God's outpouring of energy, in which all are immersed, creates a vision for our life and work as Christians which is both outraged by the murder of David and all whose gender and sexuality is diverse.
I am clear that the Archbishops of Canterbury and York are faced with a decision which is as intensely difficult for them as it is transparently clear to many others. Are they going to make clear where their Christian faith is leading them – to renounce all laws which enshrine discrimination against LGB&T people and to make clear to churches supporting discrimination that this is neither Christian nor congruent with the teaching of the Anglican Communion?
Archbishop John Sentamu issued a statement in 2013 strongly critical of the Uganda Bill. Since his elevation to Canterbury, Archbishop Justin Welby has been silent, both about the Nigerian and the Ugandan Bills. As many of my African friends are repeatedly asking, when will the Archbishops take a public stand against the evils taking place – how many more people will be abused, arrested, imprisoned and murdered because of their sexual or gender identity, justified by Christians based on their use and abuse of Scripture?

Microsoft Office 365
Technology Services Group recommends Microsoft Office 365
Microsoft Office 365 is now established as the foundation of the modern business technology environment.
For some that will be a fully cloud-based approach; for others it will be part of a hybrid solution.
Far more than simply the latest versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Office 365 brings together a growing suite of rich technologies, combined with online storage all wrapped up into a per user subscription.
Included in the Office 365 suite are SharePoint, Dynamics CRM, Email, Skype for Business and OneDrive; very powerful products in their own right, however, once combined together into a single portal they provide a complete platform that is resilient, secure, scalable, mobile and cost effective.
A wide variety of options, or plans, will accommodate the requirements of businesses of all sizes (and, of course, home users) but those who tap into Microsoft Office 365's potential to integrate across all areas of IT – from data and communications to collaboration and storage – will make the most of this powerful platform.
Services are highly available with a guaranteed 99.9% uptime with a financially backed service level agreement (SLA) directly from Microsoft.
Mobility, availability and flexibility come as standard with Microsoft Office 365.
- New apps continue to be added and you'll always have access to the latest versions and features
- Familiar email, Word, Excel and Powerpoint along with new tools such as Delve, Sway and Video
- All of your desktop and server requirements to run some of the most powerful business productivity and collaboration software available
- Single sign-on to access all of your everyday applications
Microsoft has created a brochure to guide you through Office 365 and how it works in each of your main departments.

I hope everyone had a Festive Christmas, and a New Year to remember
My blog is still just under a year old, its crazy to think this time last year I had no involvement in the blogging world, I was minus numerous blogging friends as well as unable to share my love for Photography and fashion with all of you out there
However, going into the new year I recently got told I post to much! and I should focus more on Quality over Quantity, which I certainly feel is true. But no comments are negative in my eye's so as of tomorrow I am only slightly cutting down on blog posts so that I can focus on each individual post to the best of my ability!
I created this blog to allow you out there into my life, experience my daily antics as well as hop on board my whirl wind of an adventure! and I hope you are as excited as I am about the new and exciting year ahead of us

Attractive small house on the island of Lido. Quiet and pleasant, very nice host. There are many of vaporetti for the St Mark's Square, it is very easy to go to old venezia.
We chose Federicas place, because we wanted a quiet place outside of the old town of Venice, where we could stay with our dog. Yet the beautiful island Lido has its own beach and is only a few minutes away from the old town. The little house in the garden of their villa was very cosy, clean and had everything you may need. Since we stayed there only 2 days, we didn't have much contact with Federica and her husband, but the little talks we had were very nice. Best thing was the welcome-prosecco and the cookies! Thank you :)
Excellent choice.
A cosy cottage just a couple of vaporetto stops from San Marco. A peaceful place to sleep well and cook a little and get back to the center to catch more...Friendly and helpful owner.
In Finnish: Mökille Lidolle...suurin piirtein samoihin hintoihin kuin Suomessa? Rauhallinen pikku pihamökki, kymmenen minuutin käppäily lauttarannasta, ajallisesti paljon lähempänä Toria kuin Rialto. Suosittelen.
Our stay at Federica's place was really good. The cabin is easy to reach by ship, there is a direct connection to Lido from the airport (Marco Polo). It takes 20 minutes to get from Lido to the center of Venice, the ships are leaving frequently. The cabin was clean, cozy and comfortable. Federica brought us the best biscuits in Venice, I forgot the Name, but they were amazing. We would definitely stay there again.
We had a short (48hours) but great time in Venice!
Gianluca was a helpful and friendly host. As soon as we arrived he offered us bikes for the "warm up" in Lido.
And 10min by vaporetto we could arrive every time the City. There is a lot of turbulence and tourists so we were happy to stay on Lido, a cosy Island with a beautiful view to Venice Center!
Thanks a lot, Gianluca:-)!
I loved my stay at the beach house in Venice and I would recommend it to everybody. My host, Gianluca, picked me up at the waterbus station, which is only 10 Minutes form the beach house .The contact with him was immediatly warm and very friendly and he let me spoke in italian so I could train the language. he is a very nice person.He proposed me to use a bicycle if I wanted. He showed me the sweet house and I felt immediatly very comfortable. You have everything you need: a very nice and clean bathroom, a cooker ( I cooked everyday, so it can save you a lot of money), a fridge,the tv in italian,the wifi, an oven , a table with 3 seats (3 persons can sleep there),you have the heating and finally a nice view on an orangetree. And it is so calm, it was very important for me after having been among tourists the whole day.There is also a beautiful garden and a table and chairs between the beach house and the big house, which is also beautiful . The Lido is very quiet and you have a wonderfull view on the sea to the way to the vaporetto. 5 minutes from the vaporetto, you find a supermarket, which is opened until 11p.m. I met Gianluca on the way to the vaporetto one morning and before I left and we hope to see eachother again because it was such a good contact.It takes only 15 minutes to get to Marcus'square. The next time I will go to Venice, I want for sure to to stay there again.
We had a great experience at Gianluca's house. He was a great host and the house was really cute. It was more than clean and Gianluca and his wife were so nice to leave us a bottle of prosecco, some juice and a little breakfast for the mornings. They even let us use their bikes to explore the island. The location of the house is perfect. It's about 5-10 min on foot to the next Vaporetto station (water bus) and to Piazza San Marco it's about 20 min all in all. The house is located on the island of Lido. It is a great location because it's a little bit away from the massive amount of tourists on the main island. The water buses run all night and we never had troubles getting back home. The longest it took us was 20 mins. When I go back to Venice, I am sure I will stay with Gianluca again. It was a great experience and his hospitality is outstanding.
The little house is located in walking distance to the vaporetto stop, supermarkets, little shops and the beach. Gianluca was a very welcoming host. He gave us two simple bikes that we could use. Kitchen and bathroom have been clean and fully equipped (there is even a washing mashine). We were happy with our stay there and would go there again!

Type housing affordability into your search engine and the 2010 Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey will be near the top of the list. The survey is put out by a New Zealand commercial property developer in cooperation with Demographia and looks at 272 urban housing markets in Australia, the UK, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the US. The report evaluates affordability by dividing the median house price by the median household income.
"Houston was one of the most affordable major metropolitan areas."
That's co-author Wendell Cox. He says Houston has always been pretty affordable, even at its peak during the housing bubble and even though it's a high demand market. It seems the data bodes well for Houstonians, right? Well, it may be more complicated than that. Critics say the data itself is flawed.
Here's Jay Crossley from Houston Tomorrow:
"The way they assess affordability is too blunt an instrument to yield meaningful conclusions, because it ignores things like transportation costs and other particulars of our region, and our people's actual lives."
There's also a lot controversy over the conclusion of the report, which names one reason for why some markets are affordable and some are not: it all comes down to zoning.
"Quite frankly it is very clear, and this has been confirmed by all sorts of economic research from all over the world, the factor that raises housing prices above the norm is overly strict land-use policies which also go by the terms smart-growth or growth-management."
Generally, smart-growth advocates mixed land uses, walkable neighborhoods, diverse housing options and preserving open space. Think Montrose or satellite cities that become self-sustaining over time like the Woodlands or Sugar Land. Cox says this restrictive land-use philosophy increases housing prices by limiting how and how much land can be developed. Supporters of smart-growth say the survey doesn't address what people really want in their living environment.
This is Houston Tomorrow's David Crossley:
"The millennials and the seniors, the whole boomers that are growing, you know me, are really not interested in sprawl. They're interested in living in the city and they're interested in having access to theater and so forth and being able to take a bus or train to get there and not mowing yards and fixing gutters and all that."
Which brings us back to the affordability issue: Can city planners develop these so-called livable centers without hiking up Houston's housing prices?
Dr. Barton Smith, the Director of the University of Houston's Institute for Regional Studies, says Houston's housing market is open to various types of housing, but predicts one thing for sure.
"We're going to see more and more of these satellite employment centers that will make it easier for us to commute, easier for us to get around Houston, without these enormous commutes and filling up our freeways."
One thing is certain; Houston is a city where passions run high among advocates on both sides of the fence. The city's urban planners hope having a number of different options will give Houstonians the choice of living where and how they choose.

The race to make TVs larger and larger has created a colossal problem for manufacturers: As screens grow, picture quality worsens — unless the viewer moves farther away from the screen. The issue is playing out in cozy dens and family rooms around the world.
In 2013, TV makers are doing their best to give huge-screen fanatics more breathing room. New "ultra-high definition" sets were shown off on Monday by LG Electronics, Sharp, Sony and Samsung Electronics at the Consumer Electronics Show.Consumers tend to buy a new set every seven years or so, and television manufacturers are hoping the technology will give consumers a reason to upgrade.
TV makers are also making their sets smarter. New TVs from Samsung, for instance, will recognise an expanded range of gestures so people can swipe through on-screen menus in a way that revolutionises the remote control. Ultra-HD sets come as small as new models from LG and Sony, which stretch 55 inches diagonally. And estimated prices are dropping from the tens of thousands to below $10,000, bringing these within the spending range.

Kenny Arnold
this wiki
Kenny Arnold is the patient with the severe mid-line facial deformity in the episode Ugly. He is the son of Joe Arnold. He was portrayed by actor Khleo Thomas
Medical History Edit
The patient has a frontal nasal encephaloseal with a mid-line cleft, which has badly deformed the left side of his face. It is a mid-line deformity. A documentary production agreed to cover the costs of a facial bipartion, a 10 hour surgery to repair most of the damage caused by the deformity. As a result of his condition, the patient suffered from numerous headaches and used a great deal of acetaminophen to treat them.
Case History Edit
While the patient was being prepared for his surgery but before anesthesia was administered, he started to suffer from tachycardia and his heart rate shot up to over 180 bpm. The patient went into defibrilation and cardiac arrest and had to be shocked to restore normal heart rhythm. His heart rate continued to be irregular and he was fitted with a temporary pacemaker wire. The reconstructive surgery had to be postponed.
Dr. House was assigned to diagnose the condition causing the irregular heart rhythm. He advised his team the patient had a second-degree infranodal heart block, post-arrest. There were no reports of light-headedness or fainting. Dr. Taub believed increased intercranial pressure from the enlarged head could cause the heart block. However, Dr. House dismissed it as there was no reason for the condition not to have presented earlier if it was due to his deformity. Dr. Terzi believed the patient might also have a mid-line deformity of the heart. However, Dr. House once again pointed out that the patient had been under continuous medical treatment for his entire life and it was unlikely the previous doctors would have missed it. Dr. Cole believed it might be endocarditis. However, this would only make sense if the patient was an intravenous drug user. However, Dr. House agreed there was no reason to rule it out at this point, but due to darkened skin below his nose, the addiction was most likely inhaling freon, a refrigerant. However, Dr. Taub put down the darkened skin to acanthosis nigricans, a common discoloration in such deformities. Dr. Hadley noted similar discolorations on the cheeks and forehead. Dr. House ordered a nuclear study to determine if there were any scarring of the heart.
However, the patient's father strongly resented the implication that his son was using drugs, but agreed to the test. However, there was no sign of scarring. Dr. Taub believed it might be toxoplasmosis. However, Dr. House pointed out toxoplasmosis would cause enlarged lymph nodes. He believed Dr. Taub merely wanted to do a lumbar puncture to test for intracranial pressure. Dr. Taub asked to do a CT Scan, but Dr. House still believed it was drugs. Dr. House noticed a decreased uptake on the membranous septum. Dr. Kutner believed it was merely an artifact of the test and wanted to re-perform it. However, Dr. House ordered an EP study. Dr. Taub objected because it would require stopping the patient's heart.
Dr. Taub prepared the patient for the EP study and once again asked the patient if he did drugs. The patient admitted to using cocaine and LSD. However, Dr. Taub soon realized the patient was lying. The patient did admit to alcohol use, but Dr. Taub refused to perform the test. Suddenly, the patient started coughing up blood. Dr. Taub called for help to intubate the patient.
Dr. Kutner believed the blood indicated a mallory weiss tear, but there was no pallor or melanin. Dr. Volakis believed it was a nasal papilloma which hemmorhaged and overwhelmed the heart. However, Dr. House pointed out the hemorrhage came after the block. Dr. Terzi believed it might be a bleed in his digestive tract, perhaps a peptic ulcer. However, Dr. Foreman pointed out the patient had no abdominal pain or anorexia, and the digestive tract has no connection to the heart. Dr. Hadley believed it was a nasal-fringal angiofibrosis, but Dr. House had already ruled out any tumor in the nasal cavity. Dr. Cole believed it might be stomach cancer - the cancer caused the bleeding and paraneoplastic syndrome affected the heart. Dr. House ordered Dr. Taub and Dr. Cole to do an endoscopy to find the tumor. However, Dr. Taub believed this would be dangerous - the bleeding might be caused by liver failure related to high intracranial pressure. However, Dr. House dismissed the suggestion as he did not believe that intracranial pressure could affect the liver. However, Dr. Taub was not allowed to explain how high intracranial pressure can cause an increase in the cavernous sinus pressure which in turn causes high pressure in the superior vena cava which shuts down the liver. However, he went with Dr. Cole to perform the test. Dr. Cole agreed with Dr. Taub that the endoscope could cause more bleeding if this was the case.
During the procedure, the patient started bleeding again, and it took 20 minutes of banding to stop the bleeding. No tumor was found. Dr. Taub insisted that this showed the bleeding was the result of liver failure and increased intracranial pressure. Dr. House agreed he was wrong about the tumor, but pointed out that if Dr. Taub was correct the patient should also have nosebleeds and labored breathing. Dr. Terzi believed it might be an autoimmune disorder, such as scleraderma. However, Dr. Foreman noted that the patient did not have tight skin on the hands, muscle weakness, and was 14 years too young to develop it. Dr. Hadley believed it might be a mitochondrial disorder. Dr. House ordered Dr. Volakis to look for retinal degeneration, but Dr. Taub once again insisted it was intracranial pressure and they would only see swelling.
Dr. Volakis was unable to use the opthamology machine to perform the scan because of the patient's deformity, so Dr. Taub used a scope. He only found swelling and once again attempted to convince Dr. House that it was increased intracranial pressure. However, Dr. House still did not believe that the pressure was the underlying cause, particularly of the liver failure. However, Dr. Taub pointed out that the patient's constant use of acetaminophen may have damaged the liver. Dr. House believed it was juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, which would explain all the symptoms. He ordered steroids. However, Dr. Taub pointed out this would delay the reconstructive surgery for months if Dr. House was wrong. Dr. Taub agreed to speak to the father, but secretly told the father that he thought Dr. House was wrong and should be removed from the case.
Dr. Cuddy admonished Dr. Taub for his insubordination as the patient's father refused to consent to steroids. Dr. Taub pointed out that the patient had a fluid filled cyst that wasn't draining properly and the patient needed surgery. Dr. Cuddy refused to fire Dr. Taub because he was the only doctor the patient's father trusted. She instructed Dr. House to perform a CT Scan to confirm the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis before giving the patient steroids.
The patient was given a CT Scan. Dr. Taub believed it showed the facial deformation was pressing on his right frontal lobe causing a herniation. Dr. House believed it was increased pressure from the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Cuddy agreed with Dr. House and told Dr. Taub to keep away from the patient's father. She allowed Dr. House to give the patient steroids. Dr. House met with the patient and told him he needed steroids despite the delay to the facial reconstruction surgery. The father gave consent. The patient improved on steroids.
Dr. Taub reported finding a mass lesion in the left temporal lobe surrounded by edema. However, Dr. House pointed out that if he did have such lesion, the patient should be struggling to breathe. However, it did mean the patient was ready for surgery. However, Dr. House pointed out the patient now had a twitch in his little finger. This indicated that the diagnosis was wrong. Dr. House ordered the surgery canceled.
Dr. Taub believed the twitching was just nervousness. Dr. Foreman agreed and believed that the patient did have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and it was improving. However, Dr. Hadley pointed out that Lyme disease would explain they symptoms and why he seemed to improve on steroids. However, Dr. House noted there was no target shaped rash that was indicative of the disease. Dr. Volakis thought it might be rheumatic fever, which would also explain the symptoms and why he improved on steroids. However, it didn't explain liver failure. Taub suggested removing the pacemaker wire. If House were right, the patient would go into cardiac arrest, but if the patient were fine, there would be no effect. Dr. Taub removed the wire with Dr. Kutner standing by with the defibrillation paddles. The wire was removed, the patient's heart rhythm and blood pressure were normal, and the patient was scheduled for surgery.
However, Dr. Hadley remained convinced that Dr. House was right and went to observe the surgery. She noticed some pictures taken of the patient about 3 weeks previously. She saw acanthosis nigricans on the pictures, but the pictures did not show any discoloration near his hairline, although there was discoloration there now. The patient's hair was shaved at the hair line showing the target shaped rash and confirming Lyme disease.
The patient was treated and eventually had the facial reconstruction surgery.

Charleston and the Age of Obama - New Yorker
Geege Schuman stashed this in Racism
Stashed in: New Yorker, Jon Stewart, inequality, That's racist!
I used to say, in shock, "I cannot believe lynchings took place in my lifetime!" The shock does not go away, and the dismay grows stronger.
Nine people were shot dead in a church in Charleston. How is it possible, while reading about the alleged killer, Dylann Storm Roof, posing darkly in a picture on his Facebook page, the flags of racist Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa sewn to his jacket, not to think that we have witnessed a lynching? Roof, it is true, did not brandish a noose, nor was he backed by a howling mob of Klansmen, as was so often the case in the heyday of American lynching. Subsequent investigation may put at least some of the blame for his actions on one form of derangement or another. And yet the apparent sense of calculation and planning, what a witness reportedly said was the shooter's statement of purpose in the Emanuel A.M.E. Church as he took up his gun—"You rape our women and you're taking over our country"—echoed some of the very same racial anxieties, resentments, and hatreds that fuelled the lynchings of an earlier time.
But the words attributed to the shooter are both a throwback and thoroughly contemporary: one recognizes the rhetoric of extreme reaction and racism heard so often in the era of Barack Obama. His language echoed the barely veiled epithets hurled at Obama in the 2008 and 2012 campaigns ("We want our country back!") and the raw sewage that spewed onto Obama's Twitter feed (@POTUS) the moment he cheerfully signed on last month. "We still hang for treason don't we?" one @jeffgully49, who also posted an image of the President in a noose, wrote.
South Carolina has undergone enormous changes in the decades since Jim Crow, but it is hard to ignore the setting of this rampage, the atmosphere. Seven years ago, as Obama was campaigning in South Carolina, the Times columnist Bob Herbert visited the state, encountering the Confederate flag flying on the grounds of the State Capitol building and, nearby, a statue of Benjamin (Pitchfork Ben) Tillman, a Reconstruction-era governor and senator, who defended white supremacy and the lynching of African-Americans, saying, "We disenfranchised as many as we could."
"We of the South have never recognized the right of the negro to govern white men, and we never will," Tillman said, from the floor of the U.S. Senate. "We have never believed him to be the equal of the white man, and we will not submit to his gratifying his lust on our wives and daughters without lynching him."
The extent to which Roof was aware of the historical dimensions of his hideous act is not yet known; he is still a suspect, and we are just beginning to learn more about him. But no killer could have selected a crime scene more sacred. The Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church was built to be the heart of the black community in Charleston, in the early nineteenth century, as black men and women sought to form a spiritual and political refuge divorced from the oppressive white institutions all around them. One of the founders of the Emanuel A.M.E. Church was Denmark Vesey, a preacher, carpenter, and former slave who had purchased his own freedom and who, in 1822, was executed for his role in planning a slave revolt in Charleston. The broader A.M.E. Zion church was not only the spiritual home to the three men and six women Roof gunned down but to the likes of Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Eliza Ann Gardner, and Harriet Tubman.
No small part of our outrage and grief—particularly the outrage and grief of African-Americans—is the way the Charleston murders are part of a larger picture of American life, in which black men and women, going about their day-to-day lives, have so little confidence in their own safety. One appalling event after another reinforces the sense that the country's political and law-enforcement institutions do not extend themselves as completely or as fairly as they do for whites. In Charleston, the killer seemed intent on maximizing both the bloodshed and the symbolism that is attached to the act; the murder took place in a spiritual refuge, supposedly the safest of places. It was as if the killer wanted to underline the vulnerability of his victims, to emphasize their exposure and the racist nature of this act of terror.
Have either of you seen this Charlie Brooker video?
Yesh, it's in my Media stash. Take away: don't turn the killer into an anti-hero with national 24/7 news coverage.

Pure Football Making Of Stars Steven Gerrard on the Cover Shoot
Written Monday, May 24, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
"The graphics look really good" and it's "almost like watching TV" are just some of the things you'll hear Steven Gerrard say about Ubisoft's forthcoming entry into the football genre - Pure Football.
This making of trailer takes a look at the cover shoot for the game which stars the Liverpool captain and England footballer as he gets caked in volcanic mud and sent out onto a football pitch to kick and gurn at the camera. It's like Saving Private Ryan meets football apparently.
Gerrard also has some sage advice for the kids looking to get into a career in football, including "work hard, practice every day" and "be a good loser as well as a good winner". Can we add, say no to drugs, stay in school and be good at football to that list too, please? Thanks.
Check out the video to see Stevie G in action. Pure Football is out this week.

SANTA ANA, California (AP) Televangelist Benny Hinn has posted a plea for $2 million in donations on his website.
Hinn says he accumulated the deficit in the past few months because offerings at some international appearances did not cover expenses.
Hinn's reputation as an advocate of prosperity gospel has attracted millions of followers but has also drawn criticism from lawmakers and watchdog groups.
He is one of six televangelists who have been targeted by federal lawmakers investigating compliance with IRS rules for nonprofits.
Benny Hinn Ministries is based in Texas and operates a church and television studio in Southern California.

But since the announcement was made publicly last Monday I figure most of you already know – Samhain's executive editor, […] Galley Ho!

Aged Hearts
People often say that old couples holding hands is the most beautiful, romantic and uplifting image there is. 'Aged Hearts' is my homage to that image
An old man holds his old lady's hand,
As they sit together on a park bench.
A very simple gesture,
One they've performed countless times before,
But that's what makes it so special.
Hands that were once locked in teenage love;
Have had bands of marriage placed on them.
They've been gestured in argument
Then held in forgiving embraces.
They've held their hands of their children
And their grandchildren,
Yet lately they've held onto the head of a cane.
An old man holds his old lady's hand
Yet no words are uttered between them,
There doesn't need to be.
They're aged hands yet ageless hands,
The intertwining wrinkles of ever-lasting emotion.
The sight of aged romance makes young lovers smile
At the promise of eternal love.
Of two smiles etched forever;
Of two hearts tied together
Like two hands clasped tight, on a park bench.

A/N: An image popped into my head, and I just couldn't say no.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Happy Reading!
Aang sighed and lowered himself onto the cement wall. From where he sat, on the highest point in the city – in the country, even – he could see the world stretched out in front of him like a giant map. It was an amazing sight; the whole county with its lights glittering in the dark of night was one of the world's greatest wonders. Above him shone a crescent moon, bathing him in a pool of silver. A breeze wafted by and rustled his monk robes, and he tightened his grip on his staff as he brought one knee up to his chest. The breeze had been warm, like this whole place was warm. The feeling was both comforting and eerie.
The day had been eventful, full of introductions and bowing and feasting. After all of that, he had decided that he needed to get away from the clamor of celebration and just be by himself for a little while. He'd waited until the wine bottle had been passed around the table several times until the opportunity arose in which he could slip away from the feast and come up here, on the ceiling of the palace.
The sound of light footsteps caught his attention at once. He didn't move at all because he already knew to whom those footsteps belonged. Long ago he'd memorized the pattern, the sound, even the feel of those steps.
Ah, the sound of his name coming from her lips had always been one of life's greatest blessings. He closed his eyes and waited for the footsteps to stop. They did, somewhere to his right, and then the rustling of clothing told him that the somebody had sat down beside him on the stone wall of the palace. Aang could almost feel her blue eyes upon him at that moment, and he turned his head away the slightest bit so that he could open his eyes and see something other than her face.
"Hello Katara," he said, his voice light but professional all the same.
The woman beside him seemed to have noticed. She shifted uncomfortably and turned her face to the grand city before them. "I'm sorry we haven't had much time to speak," she apologized. "It's just been so chaotic with the new treaty. All the celebrating and the parties are really driving me to the end of my rope."
When Aang only nodded in response, his eyes set firmly on the horizon, she sighed and matched his gaze. "It's a lovely view, isn't it?"
This time, a small smirk did come to Aang's face. He shot her a sidelong glance and replied, "Yes. It is."
The moon seemed to have dulled since Katara presented herself in front of him, clad in the finest clothes that money could buy.
"Can we talk?" she asked.
"What do we need to discuss?" he asked, turning to look at her fully. "The treaty to ally the nations has finally been signed. The war itself has been over for nearly a decade. My work is done. All I have to do now is make sure Sokka and Toph don't party too much, and then I can go to sleep the same way I do every night."
A pregnant pause ensued. "And how is that?"
Aang looked out across the gigantic city again. "Alone."
"Oh Aang," Katara began, but then she stopped. Aang hadn't been expecting her to say more anyway. After all, what could she say?
That all-too familiar sensation began to rise in the pit of his stomach, regardless of his meditation and his effort to make it all stop: jealousy. It had driven him just about mad in the beginning, and he had had to swallow it again when he saw her for the first time in years.
"You look beautiful," he murmured. "You always did, even when we were kids."
When Katara spoke, her voice was quieter than before. "Aang, please don't. We've been down this road before, and I don't want to fight with you. I want… I want…" she trailed off and finally fell silent. She took a shuddery breath and let it out in the same fashion.
"I don't want to fight, either," he answered. "I respect your decision, and I'm glad you're happy." Katara said nothing.
Aang's eyebrow twitched just enough for him to feel it. He turned to her and raised his brow in a questioning fashion. "You are happy, aren't you, Katara?" he asked in a voice that suggested he knew the answer and wasn't ashamed to rub it in her face a little.
The Fire Lady's nose turned in the air – a haughty-looking trick she must have learned from her husband, Aang thought. "I'm very happy, thanks," she answered. She certainly didn't look happy to him.
"I'm glad you're happy," he said. He turned his staff sideways, tucked his feet beneath him, and frowned. "I have one question for you."
Immediately, she stopped looking like a Fire Lady and became Katara again. "What is it?" she asked.
He tightened his grip on his staff and loosened it again, uncomfortable. "Why?" he asked.
Sighing, Katara answered, "I don't know." She allowed a momentary silence to wash over them before continuing her response. "Every morning I wake up next to this marvelous man, a man who's done more for his country than the past ten Fire Lords put together. He's strong, he's brave, he's smart. He loves me, Aang, he really does… but I wake up every morning next to this man, and I don't even know him. I mean I know him, but every day I ask myself the same question you asked me: why?"
"So you don't love him?"
The bluntness of Aang's question caused Katara to grimace. "Of course I love him," she answered. "It's just that, sometimes, I wonder if I love him for the right reasons. If I could go back, would I have accepted his offer?" She reached up and touched her delicately carved, expensive-looking engagement necklace with two fingers. "If given the chance, could I do it all over again? I just don't know, Aang. I don't."
Aang waited a moment before speaking. "What would you do?" he asked. He tried with all of his might not to feel the weight of an old trinket in his pocket, a trinket that had taken him weeks to carve perfectly.
Shaking her head, she replied, "I don't know. It's just – I was so young, Aang! I was too young to make that choice, you know?"
"Oh, I know."
Her lips twitched downward, her eyes closed for a moment before she tried to speak again. "I'm sorry I hurt you," she whispered. "I only wanted the best for the world, and I wanted the best for Zuko."
At this comment, Aang turned his eyes to the moon and stared up at it, frowning deeply.
"Somebody once told me," he began slowly, "that power and perfection are overrated, and that happiness and love are more important. It took me a while to understand it completely, but now I know. I also know that you don't understand it. After you chose Zuko, I thought that I must have done something wrong, that Zuko had something I didn't – muscles or, or money or something. Now I know. You don't really love him, do you, Katara? You married him for your country instead of for yourself." He cast another glance at the moon.
"You don't know that half of it, Aang," Katara said, shifting her weight so that she could reach out and touch his arm. "It was such a hard decision to make! And I… I admit it. I made the wrong choice." As she spoke, her voice faded into a whisper and finally into nothing.
Another warm breeze wafted by, moving Katara's hair loopies around her face like it used to. He used to love that. He still loved that, after all this time. And here she sat, dressed in uncomfortable-looking clothing and wearing a frown to match it. What was he to do?
"Aang…" she breathed, leaning closer.
Aang turned to face her, surprised. Was she advancing on him, trying to make some sort of move? What would Zuko think if he saw? The thought was almost too much to think about – after all he and Zuko had done to make peace – and yet it cropped up into his mind as he watched Katara inch her way closer to him.
Moments later, he became aware of her breath on his face. His eyelids fluttered, breath quickening, heart pounding in his chest –
And he pulled away, shaking his head.
"It's not right," he murmured. "I can't."
With that, he stood up and twirled his staff. "I'm sorry, Katara," he said, closing his eyes. "We had our chance, and it's gone now. It was – it was like a breeze. I –"
He stopped, mid-sentence, when Katara stood up and planted her lips firmly on his own. His eyes snapped open in shock. Hands shaking, he grudgingly eased the Waterbender away from him and stared into her glassy eyes as his own filled with tears. Aang reached into his pocket, grabbed the necklace that he had made for her so long ago, and pressed it into the palm of her hand.
"Breeze," he whispered again. On that note, he bowed low to her one last time. Turning away, he walked across the roof and began down the stairs.
Katara stared in a sort of trance. When Aang had disappeared from her view, she looked down and stared at the beautifully carved engagement necklace that rested on her open palm. A warm gust of wind blew by, rustling her expensive clothing and making her hair tap at her pretty face. After that one last gust, that one last kiss, every breeze somehow felt colder than ice.
A/N: So yeah, that's it I guess. I was reading some spectacular fan fiction in which Katara regrets choosing Zuko, and I felt that I had to leave my mark on this territory.
On a side note, this is my 98th story. It probably won't affect you Avatar people much, but I've begun to tinker with something for my 100th story. Since Harry Potter was my first love, it will be a HP oneshot based on the first story I ever wrote. :3 Just a heads-up for the Potterheads out there.
Thanks for reading!

Comment on Tomodachi ga Sukunai Little Sister Oral Insertion Anime by 3rdEye:
That's a load of crap if I've heard any.
Also focuses TOO MUCH?
What, just because they finally got a damn episode that featured them more than the usual zero-fanservice treatment?
No, this series has too little loli, if anything. God damn why can't they be the main/love interest for once?

- Tomodachi ga Sukunai Little Sister Oral Insertion Anime:
I like lolis because they are the most beautiful things in existence. Sexuality isn't their main point, but if it comes down to that, they're still the best. Altogether aesthetical orgasm.
- Tomodachi ga Sukunai Little Sister Oral Insertion Anime:
If you mean it's dying out almost completely, then I agree.
- Tomodachi ga Sukunai Little Sister Oral Insertion Anime:
Yeah, the order is really messed up. However we reached a crossroad where I don't even want to argue, as I actually see your concern, but our view on the topic is really, really far away. For one, you say K-On are lolis; I say they are old hags. I'm sure you think VividRed is full of lolis; I say otherwise. I guess when people really hate something, they will see it in everything; while if they really love something, like me, they will always think there aren't enough of them. I'm just stating, …
- Tomodachi ga Sukunai Little Sister Oral Insertion Anime:
Nice loliphobic messed up view on things there. 1. Sena not looking more than 14? Please, she looks 100% grown-up no problem. 2. Loli popularity? Once again, you must see lolis even where there aren't any; lolis are very niche especially nowadays; in fact aside from Haganai you can hardly come upon any in running series; and even here they are freaking minor characters. 3. You really should get your eyes checked if you think any girls involved are "entering toddler territory". 4. Liking loli …
- Tomodachi ga Sukunai Little Sister Oral Insertion Anime:
I highly doubt that. It's not like doing their scenes with the same details as Sena/Yozora's would put it more on a risque ground, legally speaking. This is just where the animation staff's taste really comes through.

They are the perfect size, you narrow minded faggot.
- Maid Dragon Stacked With Bikini Antics:
No, fuck off, Kanna has just enough sexualization in the manga, and giving some nice shots of her is a form of appreciation, denying it in an episode otherwise full of lewd fanservice on the other hand is saying "FUCK YOU" to her fans, and picturing her as an unwanted piece of shit. Also KyoAni added all of the Lucoa x Shota scenes.
- Prisma Illya 3rei BD Incredibly Moist:
It's too late to try and get the lolicons back on track after the shit adaptation of the last two series had virtually nothing, aside from this one censored to shit scene in the TV.
