Guitarist Meets Violinist - Balisong's POVMature
Did Nightshade perhaps have a crush on Cole? I rolled my eyes. On his words of going to get his guitar, I went to get my violin. I sat on my bed, thinking. We have to save and kill so many people. This was undoubtedly going to be our hardest mission yet.
I shook my head, and cringed. Nightshade and Piper were having a shouting match. They were shouting about seducting, killing, saving, and Colt. To try and block out te sound of their fighting, I began to play my violin.
It was the first actual song I had learnt to play. It was Gives You Hell by The All American Rejects. It was one of my favorite songs of all time. Somehow, it reminded me of my first boyfriend.
He had been a demon, and quite a vicious one at that. When I was fourteen, he began to get violent. I had been hanging around with one of my other guy friends, and he had gotten jealous. In the span of an hour, he had killed my parents, and I had killed him. My parents being a pixie and a human with pixie blood, their bodies disentergrated, along with that of my ex-boyfriend's, whose had returned to Hell.
There was a knock on my door, and Colt put his head round. He held a beautiful guitar in his hands, as he entered, a little cautiously.
"You alright?" He asked. Placing my violin down, I realized I had been crying.
"Yeah, fine. Um...how long have you played guitar for?" I asked. He grinned.
"Can't remember right now. Wait a few hours, I might sober up." He laughed. I couldn't help laughing too.
"Let's go downstairs. I think the other two have stopped fighting." I sighed. He nodded, and we both went downstairs with our instuments.

Vegas was the best for that as they have screens on their billboards. By the way, what is a quarter horse? I see lots of signs about quarter horses. Saw a red bird fly past. Jonathan thinks it may be a red cardinal! Kept going and the time has gone forward by two hours. As it was 10pm, we stopped in Wichita Falls - about 90 minutes from Denton. It's warm ...

So, it took from noon to 5:00 pm to get all this accomplished and get back on the road. I'm hot, tired, frustrated, thankful, and at this point feeling very blessed.

I also included a photo of Beamer, who is always begging for food. One would think he doesn't get enough to eat, but he loves his snacks, which he gets often and plenty. Gotta love him, cause he loves everyone.
Oh, yes. And a thanks to La Quinta for the room with a full kitchen. Great upgrade ...

Slept in since we went to bed late. Drove over to the Oklahoma truck stop for breakfast. This time we took photos at the border signs.

Aria: Kisses
I was only half asleep and was vaguely aware of a conversation bein' held near me but I couldn't have told ya who was involved. I felt a familar heat fill the room which I knew was sunshine and decided now would be a good time to wake up. I saw Chesh sat beside me and Sylvester opposite.
"Mornin' boys!" I said cheerfully with a smile.
Sylvester just kinda nodded, his mind obviously somewhere else. Frankly I don't blame him, a lot happened last night. Chesh, on the other hand, decided a more physical greeting was in order. He wrapped me in a hug, tickling the tip of my nose with his tail. He gave a quiet little moan and loosened the hug a little.
"Ariiiii, can I have a kiss?" he asked sweetly.
I paused. Chesh was a very affectionate person, he practically kissed everyone he met, and he got real upset if he got turned down. And besides, I'd known Chesh for almost as long as I'd been a vampire. In the time we'd known each other, I'd lost count of how many hugs and kisses we'd shared but none of them meant anything. But the others didn't know that. Ah, to hell with 'em. I could explain later.
"Sure" I said with a smile and gave Chesh a quick peck on the lips.
He purred happily and turned his attention to Sylvester. "Aren't you going to give him one?" he asked. Was that a hint of smugness in his voice?
"Well, he's already got one outta me. If he wants another one he's gonna have to work for it" I said, winking at Sylvester.
He looked like he was about to say something but was interupted by the sound of glass smashing. And the smell of blood. The three of us ran out of the living room in time to see Asha jumping outta the window. She was following the scent of another vampire. I could smell him over the strange blood in the room. Jay followed her but I don't think she knew. Chesh hissed a little and Sylvester looked as if he was about to follow Jay and Asha.
"Don't. This is Asha's battle" I said solemly.
I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach that it wasn't going to end well.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
As a film-maker, I want to be sure that everything that I shoot will be mine to edit and used without any legal issues waiting to happen. Therefore I would be needing a contract/release form that would say that the actor(s)/actress(es) would be giving me personality rights and editing control over the footage. I've seen a few online but I'm not a lawyer and I always doubt that Im missing some meaning behind a line or two that can spell trouble for me later on. Is there a reliable website, location, or consumer online store where I can get these kinds of contracts/releases?
Hire a lawyer and have one drafted. Nothing at some online store is fit for your useAsk a similar question
A regular Avvo contributor, Pamela Koslyn, entertainment attorney in Pasadena is one place to start. While forms can get you started, it is what is missing more than what is already there which needs the input of an attorney.
I am sure there are other very good entertainment attorneys listed in the Avvo Find a Lawyer section located at both the top and bottom of this page.
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advice" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question.

Consult with a business/entertainment attorney. You can find these forms by searching Google, but you should not rely on them or use them as they may not suit your needs. A full consultation would be necessary to properly advise you.Ask a similar question
No. These documents must be custom made to address your specific circumstances, desires, and practices. You need to consult with an entertainment attorney. Good luck!

As my colleagues have stated, if legal work were as easy as downloading a form there would be no attorneys. Don't make mistakes by trying to cut corners. If you are investing time in money in making a film why would you not want to make sure that a.) you own what you paid for, and b.) have the right to exploit it commercially? The legal costs are part of the business and should automatically be built into the financials and the cost of the film. You could actually be held liable for negligence by not hiring an attorney if you contract with an investor or a distributor. Invest in your project and retain competent and experience legal counsel.Ask a similar question
Very well put.
Is there a reliable website, location, or consumer online store where I can get free movies? My point is that a movie that is worth a major investment of time, is worth protecting, or expected to generate substantial revenue is one where you get professional legal assistance. You are in the entertainment capital of the world and will find more pertinent legal expertise there than anywhere else.Ask a similar question

I agree with the other lawyers that you should consult with an experienced entertainment attorney regarding your entertainment agreements. If you can't afford an attorney, then you can approach your local Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA) group for volunteer assistance from a lawyer. If you have no other choice, you can try to prepare your own forms, with the added (unacceptable?) risk that they will have serious problems rendering them ineffective. Below is a link to a great book, "Counseling Content Providers in the Digital Age," which has very good, vetted entertainment agreements. It is published by the New York State Bar Association. Another excellent book with legal forms for independent filmmakers is "The American Bar Association's Guide to Independent Filmmaking." A link for that publication is also provided. But, again, for any serious project, you should have an experienced entertainment lawyer to guide you.

You're apprehension is well placed, and you should follow that feeling. Professional assistance from a licensed practitioner well give you a basic assurance of having a course of action (call their licensing board) if you have a problem unlike a website or an unlicensed person that sells you something that's not what you wanted or needed related to the law. Typically, there's not much you can do about ordering the wrong contract online or working with someone who's not an attorney on a legal matter generally is unwise. You could sue, but you need an attorney for that. So, just get professional help from the beginning.

Indian-American youths in US have developed a smartphone application to help the unregistered voters in India, in particular youths, to register their names in the electoral rolls.
The Android app "Vote for a Better India" was unveiled over the weekend at an event "Big Ideas for a Better India" organised by the 'Overseas Volunteer for Better India (OVBI)', which among others was addressed by the eminent spritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of the Art of Living.
Taking voting online (Image credit: Getty Images)
The android app will be used to power Voteathon – an inter college voter registration competition that is expected to have over 10,000 participating colleges with the goal of registering over 30 million voters, the event organisers said.
In his address Sri Sri Ravi Shankar emphasised on increasing the voting percentage during elections. Referring to the high voter turnout in the recently held Assembly elections, he called for increasing the turn out to 95 percent.
The OVBI, in a statement, called upon the non-resident Indians to register themselves to vote and travel to India for a fortnight to contribute to voter education drive. It also urged them to encourage their family and friends to vote for a better India.

Everyday someone, somewhere is murdered.
You read a quick write up in your local paper or catch it on your local news program.
If you are like me, you may say a prayer for the families involved and then thank GOD your family is ok. Then you move on with your day.
Unfortunately there are people looking to take advantage of other peoples pain.
Politicians and Race Baiters…
Lets bring you up to speed.
An unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown was shot and killed Saturday, August 9th by a police officer in suburban St. Louis. The officer in question has been put on paid leave pending an investigation. The only information released about the police officer in question was he sustained an injury during this altercation.
The officer who shot and killed an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, Missouri was injured in the alleged altercation, according to Ferguson Chief of Police Tom Jackson.
Jackson, who spoke on the phone with News 4's Laura Hettiger Wednesday morning, said the officer "was hit" and the "side of his face was swollen." The chief did not say if the officer suffered any broken bones.
Police said shortly after the shooting that 18-year-old Michael Brown was walking with a friend in the middle of Canfield when an officer attempted to exit his vehicle. Police said Brown pushed the officer back into the police car. According to police, Brown then entered the officer's vehicle and a struggle ensued over the officer's weapon. Police said during the physical altercation a shot was fired inside of the car.
Witnesses to the shooting, however,told a different story. A friend of Brown's told News 4 Saturday they were walking on the street when the officer approached them. He said they had their arms up when police opened fire.
Politicians will want to be seen having something to do with this one way or another.
Race-baiters like Al Sharpton didn't let any moss grow underneath his feet. Al "I want attention" Sharpton is front and center, using the death of a young black man to stay in the spotlight.
Personally I want justice! If this police officer murder this young man then this police office needs to go to jail. If this young man did something to make the police office fear for his life, then the parents will need to take responsibility for what has happened.
As of this second, the public does not have enough information to reach a conclusion. Unfortunately this will not keep people, politicians, or
assholes race-baiters from trying this investigation in the media .

Why New Relic
Quick isolation and resolution of performance issues as well as ongoing system health monitoring.
- Chose New Relic as key component of development and production strategy
- Use New Relic helped to troubleshoot performance, optimize code and monitor traffic spikes
- Utilize NR Dashboard for quick view of application health
HotelTonight Accelerates Growth and Expansion Using New Relic for Application Monitoring and Performance Management
Founded in 2010, HotelTonight is a fast growing company that helps travelers secure last minute hotel reservations at discounted prices. The service gives hotels an opportunity to fill unused rooms while providing travelers (road warriors, weekend getaways, special occasions, etc.) appealing lodging options. Traveler satisfaction is paramount so HotelTonight is highly selective about hotels it accepts in the program. HotelTonight has more than 70 employees with offices in San Francisco and London. The service includes hotels in 60 cities from Hawaii to Amsterdam and is now increasing its focus on expansion across Europe.
HotelTonight began development in September 2010 with a goal of being included in the iOS app store by December 2010. This meant having the application fully tested and ready to go by late November. With such an ambitious goal, the ability to rapidly debug performance issues was essential.
HotelTonight has two components of their service:
- HotelTonight mobile app available today in Apple, Google Play and Amazon app stores
- Extranet, an internal web based application for development, customer service and most importantly, hotels participating in the program
The mobile app used by travelers to book their hotel room is the most heavily trafficked part of the service. The Extranet, a web based application, is used by the internal team, customer support and hotels participating in the service. Each day, hotels input their room availability and rates into the Extranet. The Extranet also produces history and usage reports for the participating hotels so they can easily view their history and success rates using HotelTonight. Some hotels also use third party inventory and reservation systems gateways and APIs to load the evening's available rooms.
Hotel bookings open at noon in the hotel's local time zone. If a traveler accesses the application before noon in the time zone they are searching, HotelTonight presents a clock displaying how many minutes until the hotel sale begins, continuing the countdown until the sale opens.
The pressure was on to build and launch the application in time for the holiday season. Much of their success depended on their ability to ensure that the application could handle spikes in traffic that are natural with this 'follow-the-sun' timed sales model. An industry veteran with prior Ruby and New Relic experience, Chris Bailey, Co-Founder and CTO at HotelTonight, knew that New Relic would be instrumental in helping them meet this tight goal.
"The dashboard is fantastic. It's the key monitoring element that allows us to see if the systems are running normally. New Relic saves us a lot of time. In most instances we can resolve issues in under an hour, start to finish, often even faster."
From the beginning, the team relied on New Relic for application performance management as a key component of their development and production strategy. New Relic helped troubleshoot performance, optimize their code and monitor traffic spikes that impact performance. "Without New Relic we would have had to build our own tools and we did not want to do that," says Chris.
HotelTonight uses New Relic in their production environment to monitor application traffic, ongoing performance, and the overall health of the application. Chris has implemented the third party menu bar add-on for Macs that continually show him New Relic metrics so he can see at a glance if there's anything out of the ordinary going on. He also uses Custom Dashboards to monitor traffic or activity that is out of the ordinary. If something is unusual, he goes right to the New Relic Dashboard to take a closer look. "The dashboard is fantastic," comments Chris. "It's the key monitoring element that allows us to see if the systems are running normally. New Relic saves us a lot of time. The way New Relic breaks down a Rails action makes it easy for us to find and identify the problem and the solution. In most instances we can resolve issues in under an hour, start to finish, often even faster."
Part of the way that Chris prioritizes the team's work is to look at the worst performing actions. "We'll pick off the top three and work on those. We often use Transaction Traces to dig down into more detailed information. Or, we might see a particularly bad spike that we aren't sure about and need more detail on. Transaction Traces allow us to narrow things down more quickly. We can hypothesize all we want about where the problem is, but having the real data and specific reporting New Relic provides, means we don't have to waste time figuring out where the problem is. We can identify the source of the issue quickly."
The HotelTonight team pays close attention to New Relic's RPM measurement, particularly because the app is API heavy. Server allocation is based on the number of RPMs the app can handle at any given time.
Chris finds the Time Comparisons feature to be particularly helpful. The ability to compare previous data from either the prior day or prior week to current data is invaluable in determining if patterns or spikes are normal. He can then decide if something merits a closer look.
Using New Relic has been a big productivity boost for the HotelTonight team. Chris comments, "People think New Relic is just about doing performance optimization, but it's an overall monitoring solution," comments Chris. "It gives us insight into what's normal so we can monitor to make sure the app is functioning properly. We can see the health of the application with a quick glance which translates into confidence and time savings. That sort of daily performance monitoring is outstanding."
This combination of the monitoring and the performance optimization allows HotelTonight to resolve issues faster and improve their planning. "We can see our traffic spikes and plan for them. The insight New Relic gives us helps us to stay ahead of the curve, rather than just react."
Using New Relic has had a direct impact on the company's customer experience. "Our most heavily used API was presenting us with a performance challenge. We thought it was going to be a specific gnarly SQL query. Using New Relic, we were able to determine that it was a different part of the code that was causing the performance issue. Once we identified the issue, we were able to modify the code to cut the time on that action in half. Customers looking for hotel choices in a given city now get their choices twice as fast. That's a pretty big win."
The net result of using New Relic for the HotelTonight team is that they have more time to focus on developing enhancements and on overall expansion in the marketplace. They don't have to worry about performance tools or benchmarking. That's made a huge difference.
Chris sums it up this way. "Even if you have a lot of experience building Rails apps, it still comes back to saving you time, and the less things you have to implement the easier it is to stay focused and get the job done. With New Relic, we can do a quick application health check to see what's going on and if needed, we can start analyzing instantly.

Welcome to the PlayStation Community.
I know it'll sound like a stupid question but make sure you're entering the code correctly, you wouldn't be the first to confuse an '0' with an 'O', it's easily done trust me!
The next thing to check is that the card was indeed activated during the checkout process, if it's not that difficult for you to do then I would suggest popping back there & ask the store to double-check it was indeed activated.
If after checking both of the above you're satisfied it is neither of those then give Sony a call directly, I'll supply the number below, ask them to check that the code is active & can be redeemed, explain the situation to them & hopefully they can help you out.

Welch's Concord grape juice coming to Europe
Posted: 8 October 2015 | | No comments yet
Under an exclusive distribution agreement with Wild Juice, Concord grape juice concentrate will now be available for companies across the EMEA region…
USA-based Welch's is to sell its Concord grape juice concentrate on the European mainland for the first time.
Under an exclusive distribution agreement with Netherlands-based Wild Juice, Concord grape juice concentrate will now be available for companies across the EMEA region to use in branded and private label beverages. The partnership will receive an official launch at the forthcoming Anuga trade show in Germany.
Concord grape juice found to deliver 53% more polyphenols than cranberry juice
The Concord grape is a plant nutrient powerhouse and its 100% juice has more polyphenols than many other commonly consumed juices. A recent publication also showed that Concord grape juice has a greater concentration of polyphenols than several 'superfuit' juices. According to this study, Concord grape juice delivers 13% more polyphenols than blueberry juice, 24% more than acai juice and 53% more than cranberry juice.
Research suggests that certain polyphenols may play a role in supporting a healthy heart, and the polyphenols in Concord grape juice are no exception. In fact, Concord grape juice delivers many of the same polyphenols as red wine.
Wayne Lutomski, Vice President International for Welch's, said, "American consumers have enjoyed Welch's Concord grape products since 1869. It's part of the fabric of American society and its unique taste and health benefits are loved and recognised throughout North America and beyond. Now for the first time, thanks to our partnership with Wild Juice, we are able offer our Concord grape juice concentrates to beverage manufacturers and brands operating in mainland Europe. It's a truly exciting development in the history of this wonderful juice."
Anuga takes place at the Koelnmesse in Cologne from 10-14 October 2015.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX gains on upbeat U.S. data
* TSX ends up 52.73 points, or 0.4 pct, at 12,370.19 * All 10 sectors stronger By Claire Sibonney TORONTO, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose moderately on Monday, after seeing a one-week high, as signs of economic weakness in Asia and evidence of a new recession in the euro zone tempered optimism over better-than-expected U.S. data. The market's gain on the first day of the final quarter of 2012 comes after stocks closed a strong third quarter, helped by stimulative measures from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. The TSX's heavily weighted resource sectors were all higher on Monday as commodity prices climbed. Energy shares advanced 1.0 percent as U.S. crude reversed early losses while materials, home to miners, were up 0.5 percent as the price of gold neared a one-year high. "We saw three different data sets out of manufacturing today and they kind of paint two different stories," said Youssef Zohny, portfolio manager at Stenner Investment Partners, part of Richardson GMP, in Vancouver. Data showed U.S. manufacturing grew slightly last month for the first time since May but euro zone factories suffered their worst quarter since early 2009, suggesting the region may struggle to avoid recession. Factory activity in China also contracted, suggesting the world's No. 2 economy lost momentum for a seventh consecutive quarter, and boosting hopes for more stimulus there. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index closed up 52.73 points, or 0.4 percent, at 12,370.19. All 10 sectors were stronger, including financials, up 0.1 percent. Among the top gainers, Canadian Natural Resources was up 2 percent to C$30.95, Encana Corp jumped 4 percent to C$22.39, and Suncor Energy added 0.9 percent to C$32.64. The TSX finished the quarter up more than 6 percent on Friday, as energy companies and miners benefited from a strong showing in crude and bullion prices.

ECHOES of Lincoln, says the Washington Post. "Calm and commanding in private, warm and dignified in public, Bush rises to the occasion in the wake of terror," intones Newsweek magazine.
President Bush, already struggling with piles of confusing intelligence reports and briefing papers, must be sitting in the Oval Office rubbing his eyes in disbelief at the sudden paeans from the American media. In normal times, the majority of Washington-based journalists - who overwhelmingly vote Democrat - are highly sceptical, even contemptuous, of his leadership abilities.
Until the tragedy of a fortnight ago, Mr Bush's relationship with the American press could be encapsulated by the following exchange during the presidential campaign last year.
Walking into a campaign rally in Illinois, Governor Bush (as he then was) spotted one of the more predictably liberal figures in the American media establishment.
Unaware that a microphone was trained on him, Mr Bush turned to his running-mate, Dick Cheney, and said: "There's Adam Clymer of the New York Times, a major league asshole."
"Yeah," Mr Cheney concurred. "Big time."
With few exceptions, journalists felt the same distaste for both candidates on the Republican presidential ticket as was shown to them.
Nine months after the election, most of the American written and broadcast media remained hostile to a president they regarded as a naive, extremist Texan too attached to the death penalty.
How things have changed in the past two weeks. In a breathless column, David Broder of the Washington Post argues that Mr Bush is already showing leadership and oratorical skills which beg comparison with Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy.
"The rhetoric is Lincolnian, and so are the tragic forces that have forged the conviction in this president's words," Mr Broder writes.
In a favourable report highlighting the importance of the president's Christian faith, the New York Times at the weekend depicted a commander-in-chief growing in stature as he "acquired a kind of certainty that perhaps eluded him before".
Earlier, the paper had noted in an approving leader that, with his prompt actions and sure-footed appearance amid the rubble of the World Trade Centre, "he has won the first battle of the war".
Richard Cohen, one of the most liberal voices at the Washington Post, thought Mr Bush was more Churchillian than Lincolnian. Just as Sir Winston became the face of Britain during the Second World War, so Mr Bush, with his Capitol Hill address, has become "the master of the moment . . . he seemed - this is our American word for it - presidential".
Never mind for now that in a column two months earlier, the same Mr Cohen dismissed Mr Bush's assessment of his first presidential visit to Europe as a disgraceful parody of what it should have been. "This was the Oval Office as comedy club," he thundered.
By all accounts of those who are close to him, Mr Bush has never been an assiduous newspaper reader, and will probably view the extravagant praise as blithely as he took the earlier abuse. As a campaigner and now as president, he has never seemed like a man who desperately seeks public or media approval, as Bill Clinton did.
But there is a serious point here about the future course of the diplomatic and military campaign against terrorism, even if the new Republican White House staff take the sudden displays of support from their erstwhile liberal opponents with a pinch of salt.
The New York and Washington media are immensely influential in America as a whole because the leading columnists are syndicated in small newspapers around the country. They also tend to set the tone of the network television coverage.
The laudatory commentaries of the past few days have driven Mr Bush's extraordinary poll ratings, propelling him to a record approval rating of 90 per cent.
Mr Bush has certainly done well over the past fortnight, but he has not won the American Civil War. The danger of the extravagant comparisons with Lincoln is that when the going gets tough, the public support will lurch too dramatically the other way.

123RF Stock Photos – sponsored review
The stock photography market has changed a lot in the last couple years. This huge change can be directly attributed to the development of the digital camera, more importantly, the digital SLR camera. No longer did you have to be a professional photographer with millions of dollars of equipment to take quality photos. The DSLR allowed that amateur photographer that happened to take a great photo capitalize off of their luck. With stock photo agencies no longer needing to pay expensive pro-photographer fees, the savings could be passed to the designer/consumer.
123RF Stock Photos is one of the companies that allows this great, inexpensive exchange to happen. While the business model isn't exactly revolutionary, they do provide more options than most. You can buy images individually by purchasing credits, with the cost varying by photo resolution. Or you can subscribe to one of their available Plans, allowing you to download 5 Ultra HiRes images per day (Basic Plan) or 20 Ultra HiRes images per day (Premium Plan). The subscription plans last either 30 or 90 Days. The option of buying credits or subscribing to the site is something that allows 123RF Stock Photos to cater to any level of stock-photo consumer.
The other way they cater to the consumer is by having a great selection of photos. At time of writing, they advertise having over 500,000 stock photos. The photos have a nice quality with a range of styles which can be attributed to having a variable collection of contributing photographers. The website is clean and simple to use, with the large-thumbnail-preview being unintrusive, unlike other stock photo sites. The "Similar Search" feature functions wonderfully and allows you to pinpoint that exact photo you want easily.
Another innovative feature of 123RF Stock Photos is their Rewards program. With every photo or subscription you buy, you get "RF Points". It's kind of like airline mileage. They then offer you a great list of products you can purchase with your points, such as: iPods, Wacom tablets, digital cameras, even a Sony PSP. This a great way for designers in large corporations to "reward" themselves while expensing the photos to the company. Very slick, maybe even a little sneaky. I like it.
Whether you're on the photographer or designer side, 123RF Stock Photos is a great website to get whatever it is you need.

"Aztec Cactus Salve" has been previously shown to do just the same thing for $2 less
OK. Let's open this article and ask ourselves questions like real scientists would...1. This is a news blurb in a publication of the American Chemical Society. (a) Why is it not in a critically reviewed medical Journal?(b) What do chemists know about wound healing or mice with diabetes?(c) How did it come to be in this journal? (i.e. was it sent to them by some huckster, I mean "Marketing Consultant"?2. The premise of this article presumes that NO gas freely passes thru the skin?(a) If that is true, why do we need lungs?(b) Why doesn't the Oxygen all leak out and we die of suffocation as we read this?(c) Why isn't Viagra supplied in topical form?3. The only real therapeutic use of these stockings is in (possibly) treating diabetic foot ulcers.(a) Would you put a pair of socks on an open foot ulcer ( In a diabetic with compromised healing in the first place!) and then lace up your shoes for a walk to the market?Good news Mother! I met a man on the way to market and I have traded the cow for this pair of magic socks which will cure your diabetic ulcers!
like whoever told you that fairy story about NO crossing the epidermis freely? I wonder if you would kindly oblige me with some sort of factual reference outside the realm of Science Fiction.
OK.Your prof is flogging a book on Amazon called "Nitric Acid Protocols". Oooooh! Shiny! But I'm from Missouri (or at least I drove thru it last June)
ow kindly show me a critically reviewed article in a reputable medical journal to support your frankly incredible claim that NO freely passes through the human epidermis.
Are you sure you're a graduate student? When I was in my graduate seminars in Pharmacology (back in the day) we learned how to support our arguments without inviting people to kiss our a**. The way we did that was to politely say, "show me the facts to support your most remarkable assertion." When they couldn't do that then they were fair game to be asked if they had recently visited fairyland and maybe had a toot with the little people.
Healthyhuman skin does produce nitric oxide, at verylow levels, as a result of chemical reactions withinsweat (Weller et al., 1996b). However, productionis about ten times higher in non-lesional skin ofpsoriatics, and about ten times higher again inthe plaques themselves (Weller& Ormerod, 1997;Orem et al., 1997; Ormerod et al., 1998). Theseobservations are highly suggestive of a role fornitric oxide in the development of psoriasis, althoughno mechanism has yet been established.From a clinical viewpoint, this is an excitingpossibility, because nitric oxide levels can be alteredrelatively easily, by topical application ofnitric oxide donors or inhibitors.
The nitric oxide molecule is small and is solublein phospholipid membranes and thus willdiffuse at approximately the same (high) rate indifferent layers of the skin, unimpeded by cells,extracellular matrix components, etc.
The high production rates of nitric oxide inpsoriatic plaques have been established bymeasuring release rates of nitric oxide from theskin surface.
The epidermis is composed of dead cells...your arguments about what happens in live cells do not apply to the case at hand. Why are you working so hard to try to confuse people? It is extremely dishonorable.
You are promoting untried therapy based on a preposterous idea.
Does your Mother know what you're up to?
It was your original claim that NO crossed the skin barrier.
have thrice asked you to show some reputable source to support your claim and the best you can come up with is to ask me to prove that it doesn't.
I personally believe you, little buddy. (thousands wouldn't) I'm sure you will have a most interesting career in science
hope that this tiresome exchange has at least caused people to question the junk science behind these wretched socks.
A slightly more obscure variation on the nicotine patch is the glyceryl trinitrate patch used in the treatment of angina. They work quite well. As it happens they work because the GTN gets converted to nitric oxide.
Why isn't Viagra supplied in topical form?
Alprostadil is sold in the United States as urethral suppositories, under the brand name MUSE (Medicated Urethral Suppository for Erection) by Vivus ... Muse delivers alprostadil as a penile suppository, inserted into the urethra, at least ten minutes before the erection will be needed.
"The presently available scientific documentation, although less extensive, indicates that NO donors, such as topically applied nitroglycerin (GTN; for example, 1-2 puffs of an ordinary GTN spray applied to the shaft of the penis), might be a reasonable alternative. Further larger-scale research on the efficacy and tolerability of topical GTN is needed to establish its full therapeutic potential in the treatment of erectile dysfunction."
Martin,I suspect you don't have other user's signatures visible. You might find it revealing if you enable them.
Now that is a concrete reproducible fact that can be verified easily by anybody who cares to give it a try. NTG applied topically simply does not provide effective levels of NO sufficient to work..I don't care what kind of phony and poorly designed study may say differently. Ask the man that owns one, why don't you?
Now then, if slathering NTG directly on the skin doesn't deliver NO...just maybe I am justifiably skeptical of these preposterous socks' ridiculous claims.
Finally as to the suggestion that I should be mindful of the identities of the other parties in this discussion,how is that scientific?
NTG doesn't reverse ED because it just plain doesn't put enough NO across the skin to do that. All the King's horses and all the King's men don't change that simple, concrete and easily verifiable fact.

***Here's how Summer Fire made it to #13 on #NYTimes. It's complicatingly simple. We worked our fannies off!! Maybe not everyone—all of the time—but we all kicked in some of the time. And with 20 authors making the effort, it worked.
See original post. June 18th
#4 The budget – whoever is in charge needs to have a realistic budget prepared in advance according to their marketing plan. Make a list of all the free and paid promos, marketing and costly ads (Facebook, Twitter, Google?) you want to put into play and then make sure the others are willing to spend their share – both as a payment into the promo pot and the individual expenses expected from them for giveaways, Facebook ads etc.
For Summer Fire, our organizer had a detailed marketing plan that she shared with us right from the start. As you can imagine, with 20 people, the costs were considerably less than I usually paid as my portion of the 10 brides collections.
I knew I'd get my money back in royalties months down the road and was glad to pay up front so whoever was looking after buying the promotions would have a healthy budget to work with. Since that was normally my job, I had no doubt that what was asked of us would all be gone by the time the book was released and I was right. At the end, we all had to ante up a few bucks more so our organizer wasn't left holding the bill.
Truthfully, I was glad we'd overspent. The more promotions you buy for a book, the better chance one has of making enough sales to hit the list. After all, no matter what anyone else tells you, it's all based on the numbers. Not just from Amazon, don't make the mistake of thinking you'll be successful if you have incredible sales there. They want the numbers from all the major venues. I'm not saying they have to be equal, and I'm not even sure the exact percentages they use. But I do know that if the numbers on Apple and the rest hadn't come through for us, we never would have been #13 on the New York Times.
So therefore, how much you set up your budget for is crucial. And don't think that the more expensive ads are the best. It happens in some cases - but not always. Do your homework and find out from others which places have been more successful in getting them sales. I have my favorites and I support them, not only because they're doing a good job now but because they have the potential to be really good one day. So spending my money now might not produce everything I hoped it would, but the people who run these venues remember who helped them get started. Down the road, it'll pay off. It certainly has for me. Whenever I approach these friends with a new release and request a spot on a certain day, I get it.
When you organize your budget, take into consideration not just the paid ads you need to use but also things like a Facebook event and the prizes, Facebook ads or boosts, a release day blitz, maybe a Read & Review program and the books you might have to gift, Rafflecopter prizes on the blitz, and the money for a Thunderclap campaign. Of course, if you have to pay for a cover, you'll need to add that too. Just try and figure out every expense you can think of and add it in from the start. It's best to be prepared at the beginning rather than scrambling later.

Organic Search Engine Optimization (Organic SEO)
Definition - What does Organic Search Engine Optimization (Organic SEO) mean?
Organic search engine optimization (organic SEO) refers to the methods used to obtain a high placement (or ranking) on a search engine results page in unpaid, algorithm-driven results on a given search engine. Methods such as boosting keywords, backlinking and writing high-quality content can all improve a site's page rank. Black hat SEO methods, such as the use of keyword stuffing and link farming, can also boost organic SEO.
Sites using organic SEO in the truest sense will be much like organisms, meaning they will grow, expand and adapt over time in response to readers' desires.
Techopedia explains Organic Search Engine Optimization (Organic SEO)
The term "organic" refers to something having the characteristics of an organism. Although black hat SEO methods may boost a website's search engine page rank in the short term, these methods could also get the site banned from the search engines altogether. However, it is more likely that readers will recognize the low quality of sites employing black hat SEO at the expense of the reader experience, which will reduce the site's traffic and page rank over time.
Organic SEO can be achieved by:
- Optimizing the Web page with relevant content
- Spreading links pointing to the content
- Incorporating metatags and other types of tag attributes
Organic SEO methods mainly rely on the relevancy of the content they offer. Some of the benefits of organic SEO include:
- Generates more clicks as the organically optimized sites offer relevant content related to the keywords searched
- Again, due to the content relevancy, the search engine results will last longer.
- Builds greater trust among the users
- Very cost-effective when compared to paid listings

At the same time, a disastrous tryst has driven apart Joy's best friends, William and Maddie. Now Maddie suspects that a demon has targeted William--but since he won't let her get close to him, can she warn him in time that his life is in danger?
In this exciting, fast-paced sequel, the characters you loved in The Shadow and the Rose are plunged into more romance, mystery, and danger.
Bonus content: preview of Among the Shadows, book 3 in the Ash Grove Chronicles

text: Sectional disputes intensified as Congress considered the issue of slavery in the western territories acquired by the Mexican War. Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky attempted to diffuse the controversy by offering resolutions on slavery and western land. The Senate debated Clay's proposals for seven months. When Clay's proposal failed, Congress repackaged the proposal into a series of bills known as the Compromise of 1850. Key provisions included California's admission as a free state, a stricter Fugitive Slave Act, and a ban on slave trading in Washington, D.C.

Delaware! Oh, what grand resolutions did swirl in the living air as I stepped to the jetty and breathed the fresh aroma of seasalt and pansies, bread and fish. What reminders of my new beginnings and urges to start afresh did strike me as I strode forward, new feeling and new awareness in the muscles of my legs! Yes, what relief of that abandonment of my dark dead past did crowd my mind as I turned to look back at the ocean – a great blue water dividing me from my sorrows! How the memories ceased to ache – those precious images of two girls, dark-eyed and dear to me – no, they glowed with the happy warmth of distant loves.
The sky was smiling, the hedges green, the sands winking, and golden brown and white were the rural-looking buildings of Delaware State. Colours so dull with winter gloom, but so very vibrant with winter frost. The greyness was gone – the dark stones and sharp corners and crying skies of Douitchurch and England were gone – an uncomely memory, a lost sight, to be left behind forever, unremembered till the end of time, when grave Douitchurch would flood and burn in anguish and torment – and in the place of those stones and corners and skies was the merry morning of America.
Christmas was approaching, the festivities begun already; tall trees of deep green – that lovely deep green which smells of pine needles and gingerbread and candles and all things of Christmas. How we do adore the spritely lights and fairy bells, the cheery excitement and family fun – that sense of togetherness we all covet and crave, however little we realise it.
The new house was wide and airy, quaint but modern, and, for the first time, it was a home. I felt that the moment I stepped across the threshold into the smooth parquet-floored hall. And I have felt it since. My parents share a bedroom again, and the kitchen is new and creamy. My room is fresh and cosy, and clean and sympathetic, rather than passive and miserable and utterly immersed in vanity, as my room in the house at the end of the street in Douitchurch had the habit of being.
Yes, how I came to realise in those first few weeks how much it had been my fault that my old bedroom held such a forlorn and prideful atmosphere. My attitude had made it so. I was passive and miserable and utterly immersed in vanity. What else could I have been? Why did I have to make a hash of everything for the sake of my own depression and my own denied desires? Deanna Macpherson could not teach me that when I was with her – there had been too little time, and I had been unwilling to learn all she could teach me about myself, my past, my present, my future.
But away from her, I saw everything she had cared about, everything she had done, to make herself happy in the tragedy of her life. Her beloved little sister died, after years of cheerful illness and Pollyanna-like optimism, adorable in such a small girl making the best of all. I had not known her; but I knew this; so much was my enlightenment as I came gradually back to life in Delaware, USA.
