SpellForce 2: Demons of the Past - Reviews
Hee are two more reviews for SpellForce 2: Demons of the Past.
Every criticism of this game comes back to how rough and untested the game feels. Frequent bugs stretch out the playtime and add just enough irritation to push me into a rage. The game has a frequent loading bug, for example, that will crash when loading saves, often with no indication except for a frozen progress bar until you Alt-Tab (a pair of keystrokes I use liberally with any game). These are not just small flaws, but major glitches like, for example, your troop capacity setting itself to 80 and preventing you from building a large enough army to beat the bosses.
If you're a big Spellforce fan that's been eagerly waiting to see the end of the story that started 8 years ago, you're essentially the target audience. The game has a handful of redeeming qualities and it can be refreshing to play something so decidedly "old-school", but the novelty wears off quickly. There is a lot of content in this game that could potentially occupy your gaming habits for dozens of hours, but it's ultimately just not worth the time investment. With so many other great RTS, RPG and RTS-RPG hybrid games out there, I cannot in good conscious truly recommend playing Spellforce 2: Demons of the Past.

What will they do, the massed forces of the Toronto Spring, the great swirling media-leftist agglomeration that had convinced itself that they had the city's right-wing mayor, Rob Ford, on the ropes? They've been counting votes, announcing candidacies, speculating and musing about recapturing city hall from the evil clutches of a mayor who actually wanted to curb the growth of city spending and reverse decades of slide and deterioration.
The story was so big in the minds of the Toronto media that they had spun the possibility of overthrowing Rob Ford into a national event. Was it a symbol of a national reawakening of the left? Unfortunately, all the plans and fantasies—the late Jack Layton's wife, Olivia Chow, was being trotted out as the left's likely standard bearer — had been pinned on the outcome of a court case.

Many questions to be answered as Steelers prepare for camp
Get ready for Camp Uncertainty.
The Steelers' training camps in Latrobe often are the tidiest of three weeks, with few positions to be won or lost and a modicum of suspense. Rookies make the team but rarely are expected to make an immediate impact, and the only question is whether a January playoff run will extend into February.
Goodbye to those good old days. The Steelers will report Friday at St. Vincent College for what seems likely to be the most unpredictable camp of coach Mike Tomlin's seven seasons.
Welcome to the new Steelers — in every sense — as arguably their most-awaited rookie class since 1974 reports to a team that has been called old for five years but one that is readying for a long-awaited infusion of youth.
General manager Kevin Colbert promised changes after what was a promising 2012 became unhinged following Ben Roethlisberger's midseason injury, leading to four losses in five games and no football past the holidays.
The changes start arriving this week for a team that must replace a five-time Pro Bowl linebacker (James Harrison), a fastest-in-the-league receiver (Mike Wallace), a 12-year veteran lineman (Casey Hampton), two starting offensive linemen (Max Starks and Willie Colon) and a two-time 1,000-yard rusher (Rashard Mendenhall).
"The thing about the Steelers is you always have confidence they'll figure it out," NFL Network analyst Charles Davis said. "That's the difference between them and other franchises. But this is the first time in a while they have to figure it out (themselves)."
The last time the Steelers were this unsettled going into camp arguably was 2004, when quarterback Tommy Maddox was staring over his shoulder at a 6-10 season and a fresh-faced Ben Roethlisberger looking to dislodge him.
Things changed in a hurry. The Steelers went 15-1 and reached the AFC Championship Game. But nobody is predicting a 15-1 season for these Steelers, who seem to have as many worries as there are positions on the field — including the fact they play alongside Super Bowl winner Baltimore in what might be the NFL's toughest division, the AFC North.
To paraphrase former coach Chuck Noll, the Steelers have many questions, and they are great.
Can outside linebacker Jarvis Jones, one of college football's most disruptive defensive players a year ago, and running back Le'Veon Bell start as rookies? Will big-hitting Shamarko Thomas make an impact — in every sense — at safety, where Troy Polamalu is 32 and Ryan Clark is 34? He's already said he expects to be fined for his hitting.
Are Mike Adams and David DeCastro ready to be full-time offensive line starters? Can rookie wide receiver Marcus Wheaton quickly become a presence on an offense that must replace the offseason's highest-priced free agent in Wallace?
Even a sixth-round pick, linebacker Vince Williams, could play considerably as a rookie.
"In order for us to be successful, we have to have the young guys step in and play great football," defensive end Brett Keisel said.
But the questions aren't just about the rookies.
What alterations will offensive coordinator Todd Haley make after an admittedly up-and-down 2012 season in which the running game was the Steelers' second-worst during any 16-game season? And will new offensive line coach Jack Bicknell, special teams coach Danny Smith and wide receivers coach Richard Mann merely tinker or implement overhauls?
And is there enough leadership in what Ward said was a locker room in "total disarray" a year ago? And when will tight end Heath Miller (knee) be ready?
It's all a puzzle that Tomlin and his staff are ready to begin assembling, and they can't begin to guess what the finished product will look like or when it will be completed.
There are 49 days until the Sept. 8 opener against the Titans, and every one could bring yet another question.

A football fan has been banned from every league ground in England and Wales for three years after he lit a flare in Aldershot Town's ESS Stadium and then assaulted two stewards who tried to eject him.
Factory worker Luke Stock admitted possessing a flare at a sporting event and two charges of assault by beating when he appeared before Aldershot magistrates on Thursday (January 2).
Prosecutor Fiona McMurray said the offence took place in the away area of the ground's East Bank during Aldershot's 4-1 FA Trophy victory over Worcester City on December 14.
She told the court Martina Ashburner, who was a steward at the game, saw a cloud of smoke rising from the uncovered stand.
CCTV operators identified the offender as 20-year-old Stock, and Miss Ashburner and two assistants told the City fan he was being ejected for letting off the smoke bomb.
They took him by the arms but Stock told them 'I can have you' and tried to struggle free, the court heard.
Miss McMurray said Stock pushed Miss Ashburner, making contact with her chest and winding her. He also wrapped both legs around her ankles, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground.
Stock also assaulted Daniel Saunders, a member of the ground's security staff, by grabbing his left fingers and bending them to the side, the court was told.
The prosecutor reminded magistrates that these sort of incidents make national headlines.
Setting off flares has become a controversial issue at football matches, and last October a linesman was hit by one thrown from the Tottenham supporters' end during their Premier League match against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
"Thankfully on this occasion there was no injuries but it could have been a different story," added Miss McMurray.
Lizzy Cox, defending, asked magistrates to give her client credit for his early guilty plea, adding Stock placed the smoke bomb on the ground where there was no one else around. She told the court he very much regretted the incident and his own club had imposed a three-match ban on him.
"He's a young man and football is a significant part of his life," she said.
After retiring to consider their decision, court chairman David Perren told Stock: "You threw the firework, although we accept the distance wasn't that great, you had no idea where it was going to land."
In addition to the three-year football banning order, Stock, of Carrock Fell in Worcester, was fined £90 for each assault and ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
He was also told to pay compensation of £100 each to Miss Ashburner and Mr Saunders.

Magnified 475X, this photomicrograph depicts some of the structural morphology of numerous Trichophyton violaceum fungal organisms. This dermatophyte had been grown in a medium of Sabouraud dextrose agar, and of note are the organism's mycelia, or branching hyphae, i.e., the vegetative portion of the fungus, and ovoid-shaped, thick-walled chlamydospores.
What are dermatophytes?
Dermatophytes are types of fungi that cause common skin, hair and nail infections. Infections caused by these fungi are also known by the names "tinea" and "ringworm." It is important to emphasize that "ringworm" is not caused by a worm, but rather by a type of fungus called a "dermatophyte." One example of a very common dermatophyte infection is athlete's foot, which is also called tinea pedis. Another common dermatophyte infection affecting the groin area is jock itch, also known as tinea cruris.

Laminine Food Supplement is a functional food that all aging or sick body needs. It contains Fertilized Avian Egg Extract (FAEE) + 22 Amino Acids that provides the component and nutrition our body needs to repair itself. FAEE contains FibroBlast Growth Factor (FGF) which has a stem-cell like function. FGF directs the stem cells in our body to rejuvenate and restore damaged or aging cells. Its patented formula OPT-9 that contains FGF directs nutrients and stem cells found in our body to effectively restore damaged cells back to its original condition.
Laminine Food Supplement contains Fertilized Avian Egg Extract (FAEE) + 22 complete chain of Amino Acids. It provides the nutrition your body needs to repair itself. Laminine's unique composition directs the stem cells in our body to rejuvenate and restore damaged or aging cells. Laminine Supplement's patented and proprietary formula OPT-9 was a result of combined research by doctors who took interest in the discovery of Dr. John Ralston Davidson in 1929. Laminine Omega+++ is a supplement to Laminine (original). It also contains FAEE plus three ingredients that is traditionally known to lower cholesterol, promotes healthier bones, and provide the body with antioxidant.
Accredited with Physicians' Desk Reference® (PDR®), the leading distributor of drug labeling information, product safety Alerts, and REMS programs. It contains information on dosage, side effects, safety information & clinical trials that include double-blind control study. This means that Laminine is officially a health supplement that is 'Doctor Recommended'. Laminine Food Supplement is listed with the Physician's Desk Reference or PDR.net & appears on the 2014, 2016, and 2017 book reference. No prescription needed except for pregnant or lactating women.
The bioactive peptides in Laminine stimulate the dormant stem cells to utilize the phyto amino acids and marine protein to repair damaged aged cells. The beneficial impacts of Laminine® are: positive effects on memory, skin, libido, energy, joints, muscles, stress, sleep and emotional stability. Clinical studies were done on (1) Wound healing activity; (2) Cortisol & stress; (3) Sugar levels (4) Cholesterol and blood pressure (for Laminine Omega). The clinical tests showed significant improvement in these areas. Results also showed that Laminine can be an ideal support to other medications with no known adverse side effects. * Source: Physician's Desk Reference

Originally intended for cancer cure, Dr. Davidson, a Canadian doctor discovered how nature was making a journey towards a healthy and rapid development.
Contains Laminine's core ingredient FibroBlast Growth Factor or FGF with the addition of high quality Omega 3s, Vitamin K, and CoQ10.
A combination of a stable mixture of Probiotic, which is a Prebiotic Blend combined with Enzyme Blends that promotes healthy intestines.
Research shows that after 12 days of taking Laminine, a 23% reduction of stress hormone cortisol decreased. Regular use of Laminine help cells reach the baseline of homeostasis. The body immediately responds to cell repair or chemical balance such as Cortisol and Serotonin to support the ideal state of health.
Research credits FGF with essentially reprogramming adult stem cells and amino acids in the body (which make up its natural repair tools) to travel to the areas that need it the most. Once there, these repair tools have the ability to integrate themselves to cell tissues or organs to repair and regenerate the cells. As a result, Laminine has shown a wide range of benefits across age, sex, and type of sickness.
*Laminine is not a stem cell therapy
In a study made immediately following surgery, subjects were randomized to receive either an amino acid diet or a peptide diet for ten days, and the strength of the wound was measured.
The wound recovery was faster for those who received this "dietary peptides." It appears that the stimulation of collagen synthesis, increased blood flow to the wound, free radical scavenging, and generation of cytokine profiles which better support wound healing.
The first formal study on wound healing was done on animals in 1997. Further clinical research and trials followed after. To date, healing testimonies have proliferated without the intention of marketing Laminine as a curative supplement. Some Doctors began to recommend Laminine because of its cell signalling ability to repair the cells and organs. It further bolstered its healing reputation. Laminine is poised as an anti-aging supplement.
The effect of Laminine Supplement to broad users experienced renewed energy, better sleep, "happy hormone," increased libido, and reduced stress. Regular use of Laminine can keep you away from sickness, weakness or fatigue, mental stress or depression, and provides increased immunity. Laminine is not intended to replace your drug or medicine.

Avian eggs has been given nutritional value since prehistory. By the 18th century until the early 19th century, the dried egg industry was developed. In 1878, a company in St. Louis, Missouri started to transform egg yolk and white into a light-brown, meal-like substance by using a drying process. The production of dried eggs significantly expanded during World War II, for use by the United States Armed Forces and its allies. It was easy to manage and packed with nutrition.
Whole eggs store significant amounts of protein and choline. Due to their protein content, the United States Department of Agriculture categorizes eggs as Meats within the Food Guide Pyramid.
In 1929, a Canadian Doctor from Winnipeg discovered a way to extract the life-giving protein substance of an egg. Dr. John Ralston Davidson believed that if you can get extract this protein essence, taken in large quantities can cure his cancer patients.
His research that spanned short of three decades resulted in significant recovery of his cancer patients. Little was known about his discovery until decades later, what is to be known as YTE or Young Tissue Extract would be found to affect a myriad of health issues, mainly providing faster cell recovery through its mechanism of action – FGF or FibroBlast Growth Factor.
Some 50 years later, the extraction and freeze-drying techniques were again explored. Dr. Bjodne Eskeland, a foremost egg researcher, started extracting the nutrients from partially incubated avian eggs, nine days after the fertilization.
He too believed in the assumption that if one can successfully obtain the life-giving nutrients in an egg, it can provide the super nutrition an aging or sick body needs to recover fully.
Clinical trials, white papers, and other researches were conducted to prove this theory. Dr. Eskeland launched YTE as food supplements but was unsuccessful in making it a global brand. By 2011, LifePharm Global Network together with other scientists and Dr. Eskeland himself launched Laminine Food Supplement on a global scale.
The American Health Journal (AHJ) featured Laminine Food Supplement for the first time in 2012. In 2014, clinical studies and trials on Laminine Food Supplement were published for the first time at the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR).
Laminine falls into more than one category of food supplements. It's a 100% natural and we mean this by all count. To date, Laminine provides all the proteins that we know about. These proteins found in Laminine are the great workers in the body.
Protein is essential in our body, without it, our body will decay immediately and could not stand oxidation. Ingesting protein in the form of supplement is important. However, it should be natural and derived from a whole food to assist the human biochemistry. Our body is designed to heal itself, and it needs protein as its materials. Laminine is a unique signaling protein that provides both instruction and materials needed to repair cells.
FibroBlast Growth Factor or FGF is Laminine's active ingredient. There are many white papers on FGF and ongoing research. FGF assist the body in producing serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has a very broad effect on the body.
Serotonin has been studied since the 1980's, and scientists now know that it contributes to better sleep and naturally causes us to be calmer and focused. We regenerate in our sleep, and Serotonin helps us cope with stress so that we're not beating our body to death with a sense of fear all the time. That then helps us restore PH.
PH is one of the most difficult things to regulate in the human body, and it (PH) increases our ability to cope with pain. Therefore, Laminine provides the natural solution for pains in our body. Millions of Americans today experience pain where most of them do not even know what causes it. Laminine's continuing list of testimony gives this account.
Those dealing with severe pain issues recognize that even though we have medications to assist with that, they do not provide the lasting effect we want. Worse, some of these drugs have side effects. Medicines don't rid the body of pain; they only allow them to function, provide the solution for the symptoms and rarely the cause of it.Over time, your Doctor prescribed medicine may work, but not in the long run.
The kind of protein supplement Laminine has helps the body cope with stress and pain and sleep. It also assist the body in the absorption of minerals and other nutrients.

Omega+++ is a potent supplement that targets your heart circulation, also an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, & directs calcium to bones & teeth instead of calcifying elsewhere.
It will help boost blood flow circulation to the brain and other organs, resulting in better cognitive function. As cholesterol melts, it will cause the arteries to be more pliable which causes the heart to be less tired and agile.
Laminine Omega+++ is also a good gym or workout buddy, as it will help you recover faster after an intense exercise. Based on user testimonials, a significant reduction and balance of triglyceride and uric acid are also experienced in long term effect.
Those who have heart chest or heart discomfort and experiences occasional coughing or wheezing. Also for cancer, diabetic, arthritis patients and those with poor appetite and frequently experiences dizziness or faintness as a side effect of an existing heart illness or diabetes.
Laminine Omega+++ contains three major fatty acids or Omega 3s. It helps maintain normal levels of HDL ("good" cholesterol) and LDL ("bad" cholesterol). It discourages excess cholesterol from building up. Also contains CoQ10 ER that helps fight oxidative stress in the blood vessels, leaving them clear for proper blood flow and Vitamin K2 that contributes to direct calcium to the bones and teeth, where it belongs, keeping the calcium from attaching itself to the arteries.
EPA and DHA are crucial in both developing minds and aging brains. DHA is found in gray matter in the brain and Omega-3 partially converts to EPA and DHA in the body. It is responsible for sending accruing and timely brain signals throughout the body. EPA also converts to DHA as needed by our body.
Studies have shown that EPA & DHA is essential for proper fetal development, including neuronal, retinal, & immune function. It may affect several aspects of cardiovascular functions and peripheral artery disease that is why supplement for these is crucial as we age.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a substance that's found naturally in the body and helps convert food into energy. CoQ10 is found in almost every cell in the body, and it is a powerful antioxidant but may deplete with sickness and poor diet.
Laminine Omega+++ has enough CoQ10 (extended release) to maintain your daily need of this antioxidant.
Clinical study on CoQ10*
People who took daily CoQ10 supplements within three days of a heart attack were less likely to have subsequent heart attacks and chest pain. They were also less likely to die of heart disease than those who did not take the supplements.
CoQ10 supplements may improve heart health and blood sugar and help manage high blood pressure in people with diabetes. Two studies found that 100 mg of CoQ10 twice daily improved A1c levels, a measure of long-term blood sugar control. But another study found no effect. If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor or registered dietitian before using CoQ10.
Most clinical studies examining omega-3 fatty acid supplements for arthritis have focused on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints. Some small studies have found that fish oil helps reduce symptoms of RA, including joint pain and morning stiffness.
One study suggests that people with RA who take fish oil may be able to lower their dose of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, unlike prescription medications, fish oil does not appear to slow progression of RA, only to treat the symptoms. Joint damage still occurs.
People with diabetes often have high triglyceride and low HDL levels. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil can help lower triglyceride and apoproteins (markers of diabetes), and raise HDL, so eating foods or taking fish oil supplements may help people with diabetes. Another type of omega-3 fatty acid, ALA (from flaxseed, for example) may not have the same benefit as fish oil.
Some people with diabetes can't efficiently convert ANA to a form of omega-3 fatty acids that the body can use. Also, some individuals with type 2 diabetes may have slight increases in fasting blood sugar when taking fish oil, so talk to your doctor to see if fish oil is right for you.

Glass lamps can be found in many different styles, and have graced the pages of many different style magazines, such as Better Homes and Gardens. The reasons are multitudinous: glass lamps fit almost any style of ambiance because they possess the trait of understated refinement that remains classic as styles (and rooms) change around them. Individual models of glass lamps are difficult to locate, but there are ever so many vessels of light from which to choose. Finding the glass lamp for your room is easy. Check out the article below.

An unrecorded Elizabethan book detailing the basics of the Christian faith has been found behind oak panelling at a country estate, where it is likely to have lain undiscovered for 400 years.
L'ABC des Chrestiens was found by a carpenter during restoration work at Hardwick Hall in central England. The book was published by a French Protestant in 1583 but no record of it has been found.
The French-language catechism is believed to be a children's textbook and was probably shoved behind the two-metre-high panelling by a youngster eager to lose it. The National Trust, which owns Hardwick Hall, said the find was remarkable.
"It is a really important book because it is unknown to scholarship," said Nigel Wright, the collections manager. "It contains passages that children were likely to have had to learn off by heart, such as, 'I will renounce the devil.' "
The 11-centimetre book is leather bound with green silk ties. On the front are the gold-tooled initials IC, which probably stand for Iesu Christ.
It contains passages detailing basic Christian teaching, such as "He who wishes to profit from school, Must seek God, fear and revere Him, And to do this must learn from His word."
The book was published in London by Thomas Vautrollier, a prominent publisher who was forced to flee France by the Wars of Religion.
But it is not recorded in Pollard and Redgrave's Short-Title Catalogue of Books 1475-1640, a comprehensive record of early English printing, although it lists 16 other books published by Vautrollier in 1583. Why L'ABC was not accounted for remains a mystery.
The book predates Hardwick Hall, which was built near Chesterfield by Bess Hardwick, Countess of Shrewsbury, between 1590 and 1597.
Mr Wright said: "It may have belonged to Bess Hardwick's grandchildren, who included Arabella Stuart, who was niece to Mary, Queen of Scots and who laid claim to the English throne as a successor to Elizabeth I.
"You can imagine a child running around here and, when no one was looking, standing on a chair and shoving the book behind the panels. I don't suppose we will ever know the history of the book."

Russia Says No Plans To Sell Kyoto Carbon Rights
Date: 15-Dec-09
Country: RUSSIA
Author: Conor Sweeney
MOSCOW - Russia does not plan to sell its unused Kyoto Protocol emissions rights and instead wants to carry them into a new climate change agreement, a senior Kremlin official said on Friday.
Analysts said Moscow could swamp the market with its own unused quotas, called Assigned Amount Units (AAUs) and theoretically worth billions of dollars, if it decided to attempt to sell them before Kyoto expires in 2012.
"Russia is going to carry the saved quotas in the Kyoto Protocol over to a new agreement," the Russian presidential advisor on climate, Alexander Bedritsky, told a Moscow press briefing.
"As far as I know, there are no plans to sell emission quotas," he said.
Under Kyoto, countries comfortably under their emissions targets can sell the difference in the form of AAUs to other nations.
Russia has an inventory of billions of AAUs due to the collapse of its industry in the 1990's.
Bedritsky said curbing greenhouse gas emissions would help stimulate new technologies and in turn economic growth.
Tackling the growth in emissions was necessary to show the current generation could take responsibility for future generations, he said.
Bedritsky stood by Russia's offer to reduce its emissions by up to 25 percent from its 1990 emission figures which, due to the collapse of Soviet-era industries in the 1990s, would still allow Russian emissions to grow in future.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will travel to Copenhagen for the final scheduled day of the U.N. climate change summit on December 18.
Last month, Medvedev warned that climate change posed a "catastrophic" threat that had to be addressed.

Jalandhar, Feb 19 (ANI): Lt. General Surendra K Sahni (retired) of Army Service Corps has been found guilty on six of the nine charges in the General Court Martial and sentenced to Cashiering and three years rigorous imprisonment in the dry ration scam.
Lt. General Sahni is the highest-ranking military officer to face such ignominy.
Casheiring from service would entail the withdrawal of all perks he enjoys as a retired officer of the Army, including pension.
A report by the Controller of Auditor General (CAG) had paved way for action against Sahni.
The General Court Martial proceedings were conducted and concluded late on Friday at Headquarters 11 Corps in Jallandhar Cantt.
He was accused of irregularities in procuring rations for soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir, who were stationed at Siachen and other high altitude areas.
The order is subject to confirmation by the Ministry of Defence. (ANI)

If you're like most people, cancer isn't something abstract—chances are you know someone who's been through it, or maybe you have yourself. The disease touches almost everyone in some way, and yet myths and misperceptions about cancer are common.
MSN Causes/TakePart: Get Smart About Cancer
Today is World Cancer Day, sponsored by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). This year, the UICC is focused on promoting some truths about cancer and burying falsehoods. Do you think you know a lot about the disease? Take our quick quiz!
1. Cancer is primarily a problem among older people in developed nations: True or False?
2. Having cancer is more than just a health issue: True or False?
3. People with cancer have a high chance of dying from the disease: True or False?
4. There is a lot people can do to reduce their risks of cancer: True or False?
It's critical to address common myths about cancer if more people are to be spared from the disease, Vanessa Von der Muhll of the UICC told TakePart. "Fear may play a role in the pervasive nature of myths surrounding cancer," she says, noting that conflicting reports in the news add to the confusion. "Big issues often pose big questions and foster misunderstanding. And cancer is a big issue. It is one of the biggest killers in the world, accounting for nearly eight million deaths per year."
Here are the quiz answers, with input from Von der Muhll.
1. Cancer is primarily a problem among older people in developed nations: FALSE
About half of all cancer cases, and more than half of all deaths, occur in less-developed parts of the world. And if trends continue, cancer cases will increase by 81.5 percnt in developing countries by 2030. Certain types of cancers occur much more often in developing nations. For example, 85 percent of deaths worldwide from cervical cancer are among women in developing countries.
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Shoots for the Moon
And the disease doesn't just primarily afflict the elderly. In developing nations, about half the cancer cases are in people under age 65. "Cancer is also a disease of young people," she says. "For children aged 5 to 14, cancer is a leading cause of death in many countries. There are an estimated 160,000 newly diagnosed cases of childhood cancer worldwide each year with more than 70 percent of the world's children with cancer lacking access to effective treatment. The result is an unacceptably low survival rate of about 10 percent in developing countries compared to about 90 percent in high-income countries. "
2. Having cancer is more than just a health issue: TRUE
Cancer carries social, economic, development, and human rights implications, Von der Muhll says. "In many developing countries, for example, where awareness is a big obstacle, misconceptions about diagnosis and treatment and stigma associated with cancer can lead individuals to seek alternative care in place of standard treatment or to avoid care altogether," she says. "Understanding and responding to cultural beliefs and practices is essential."
In addition, cancer both causes and is an outcome of poverty. It disrupts an individual's ability to earn a living, and treatment costs can send some families into poverty. The worldwide cost of treating cancer is estimated to reach $458 billion a year in 2030. But implementing cost-effective strategies to prevent the disease—such as programs to reduce smoking and alcohol use and to improve diets and physical activity levels—would cost only $2 billion a year.

3. People with cancer have a high chance of dying from the disease: FALSE
Cancer is not a death sentence. Advances in understanding how and why cancer develops and how it acts in the body have revolutionized how the disease is managed. In the United States alone, there are 12 million people living with cancer.
Early-stage cancers are much more likely to be curable than ever before. Screening programs, such as mammography, have led to big reductions in cancer deaths. In countries with access to the Pap test, cervical cancer death rates have plummeted. But there's still a big gap in death rates between wealthier, developed nations and less-developed countries.
Some people may think that cancer treatment is too complex and expensive to be offered in poor nations. But a recent report shows that many off-patent cancer medications are affordable for people in those countries. More work needs to be done to make anti-cancer vaccines, such as the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, available to people worldwide.
4. There is a lot people can do to reduce their risk of cancer: TRUE
Cancer is not your fate. Even if you have a high family history of the disease, there are many strategies to reduce your risk. "A lot of people do not realize that actually one in three cancer cases could be prevented through simple lifestyle choices," Von der Muhll says. "These lifestyle factors include tobacco, alcohol intake, diet, physical inactivity, exposure to ultraviolet light, and protecting against cancer-causing infections. Improving diet, physical activity and maintaining a healthy body weight could prevent around a third of the most common cancers alone."
Here is some specific prevention advice from the American Cancer Society:
• Stay away from tobacco.
• Eat healthfully: Watch your portion size. Choose vegetables, whole fruit, legumes, and fish. Stay away from calorie-dense foods like potato chips, ice cream, donuts, and sweets. Limit your intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and red meats.
• Get active: Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity each week.
• Control your weight.
• Be safe in the sun. Use sunscreen and limit your time in the sun.
• Learn more about the environmental causes of cancer and exposures you should try to avoid.
• Understand your genetic risk and family history of cancer and what screening tests may be helpful to you.

Not GPS modules. Not cellular phones. Not digital video cameras. The biggest technological threat to national security these days, the hot ticket, the article that most clearly bespeaks the intention of anyone caught with it to destroy America, is the almanac.
Why not an astrolabe? A sextant? Like the almanac, neither is exactly at the cutting edge of technology—unless you happen to be an 18th-century farmer, in which case you would have already known if it was going to be a good winter for, say, fomenting agrarian revolt by divining clues from nature. Bird behavior and killing frosts and so on. "Hmm, let's see. The crescent moon is waxing and the squirrel cannot see its breath—that bodes ill for slaughtering hogs, goodly wyfe, yet splendidly for steering a burning hay-cart into the local tax collector's office!"
The statement issued last month by the FBI advising law enforcement officials to be on the lookout for suspicious persons carrying almanacs struck many sensible people as indisputable proof that the government had finally lost its mind (although at least no one's advocating burning them yet). The statement didn't mention any specific brand names (and different almanacs provide different kinds of subversive information), but imagine getting so up in arms about a publication as benign as The Old Farmer's Almanac. The annual publication includes astrological tables and long-term weather forecasts (prepared 18 months in advance of publication), but as an instrument for predicting anything it's barely more reliable today than when it was first published in 1792. Any potential enemy of the state seeking detailed timetables for anything beyond tides, the declination of the sun and phases of the moon (and the agricultural implications of this data) is looking in the wrong place. A lot of the same information, by the way, is available in the daily newspaper—as are equally iffy weather forecasts.
As for detailed information about potential targets (another specific FBI concern): Have FBI agents ever actually looked at a World Book or Information Please almanac? Using the most detailed map included in either publication, a terrorist would be unable to name a single highway or city street, much less find technical data for a particularly vulnerable bridge or building. He'd be much better off picking up a few pamphlets from the local chamber of commerce or spending a few hours at the public library. Implying that an almanac makes a good day-planner for terrorist activity is like saying that the World Book Encyclopedia entry on sex is a hotbed of erotic fiction possibilities. There's simply nothing in there that you can't find someplace else, and in far greater detail.
However: Curiously absent from most reporting on the FBI advisory is the odd fact that something very similar has happened before, during World War II. In 1942, a German spy apprehended on Long Island was found to have a copy of The Old Farmer's Almanac in his possession, leading intelligence officers to believe that the Germans were using weather forecasts to plan acts of sabotage (it wasn't called terrorism yet) on U.S. soil. This development led to a federal mandate called the Code of Wartime Practices for the American Press, which among other things prohibited the publishing of weather forecasts.
Then-editor Robb Sagendorph convinced the government to let him publish weather indications in the New Hampshire-based Almanac, rather than forecasts, thereby getting around the Code of Wartime Practices essentially on a technicality, and "thanks" to federal largesse. Perhaps, by current hysterical standards, Sagendorph and his staff would have been worthy of suspicion simply because they had to resort to slightly devious measures to safeguard their civil rights—which, lest we forget, are granted absolutely by the First Amendment, and for that reason are the government's neither to "give" nor to take away.
The 1942 incident wasn't even the first instance of a group trying to dictate or abridge the contents of an almanac—indeed, as a popular literary format, the homely almanac has always had to contend with reformers of one kind or another. During the 19th century, astrological almanacs came under attack by two very different groups of middle-class social reformers, one advocating scientific rationalism and the other seeking to sow the seeds of political consciousness. An organization with the marvelous name of Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge printed reams of counter-almanac broadsides and manuals of facts and statistics, using the same chapbook-style format as its targets to counter what it perceived as "superstition-peddling" by top-selling almanacs like the Vox Stellarum. On the other end, radical journalists like Richard Carlile and Joseph Barker railed against the same, predominantly rural, "superstitious ignorance" disseminated through astrological almanacs as an obstacle to progressive thought, again using the same simple and cheap-to-print format.
And to a degree they succeeded. Almanacs, for various reasons, became less prophetic and rooted in astrology—that is, less "superstitious"—until they barely resembled their former selves. According to Maureen Perkins, author of Visions of the Future: Almanacs, Time and Cultural Change, by the end of the 19th century the almanac calendar had become "no more than a succession of numbers on a printed sheet."
Nowadays The Old Farmer's Almanac is mostly for fun. I read it primarily for the "Anecdotes and Pleasantries" section—the terrorist equivalent, I suppose, of someone saying they look at Playboy for the articles. I've learned to hypnotize a chicken (three different ways), how to tell if my toads are about to mate and all kinds of other irrelevant skills. But I have yet to come across an article that might help me or anyone else strike a blow against America. Not that I'm looking, mind you.
And if carrying an almanac around with me—which I did, just this morning—makes me more of a suspect, I guess I'll just have to live with the shame. And so will my mom, who sends me the new edition every Christmas.

Biting and aggressive towards my kids
We have a beautiful working line gsd that is 13 weeks old, we have had him for 3 week now. I have 3 girls, 12, 10 and 7. The 12 year old is tall and just as big as my wife. The other 2 are age appropriate sizes. We love the dog and looking for advice on how to curb this behavior that I see as puppy play. We have had other GSD's but american line, this is our first WGWL.
His behavior is really same with everyone but with my stern no, he will back away then begin to bark at if arguing.
With the girls he will come right up on them and start nipping and biting at them. At this point I have to keep on leash at all times when my girls are home. When they are not at home he is care free in our living room that we have gated off from rest of the house. He is fully house trained and uses the doggy door we have built into our wall from out previous GSD that past away last year from old age.
Summer is coming and the thought of having him constantly on a lead or crated throughout the day is not what I had hoped for.... but my girls come first and seeing them scared and crying from his bites is a little more than I can bare.
I am looking for solutions and advice as to how long this will last. He gets his final shots in 3 weeks and we can start taking him out then to wear him out but playing in yard with me is not making dent in calming his need for play.
I understand that due to his lines that he has more prey drive and the breeder did inform that his lines/parents had defense/agression which is why were interested since we are planning on doing IPO once he is old enough to take to local club.
Thanks for any advice..... I honestly was looking at a muzzle today and then put it back in hopes I could get some advise here on the net.

Brilliant is the word for Botox. It shows results within just a few days. Mind you, the results are pretty dramatic. I loved it bigtime. I took Botox injections for my brow lines and they have smoothed but completely. There was almost mild or no pain. The doc adminstered those tiny injections all over my forehead and brow area. It pinched a bit, but it was not painful. More like plucking eyebrows. The injected area was sore and mildly bruised for a few days but that got covered by make up and i even went straight to work the next morning.The only trouble i had was a headache till the time the bruises disappeared. The headache was preytty bad so i took an advil every few hours. Within a few weeks, my frown lines were totally gone. Ok i know what you might be thinking. The frown likes will come back within 6 months.. right? Buy hey, considering how affordable Botox really is ( $500), doesent it seem very possible twice every year? I like Botox because it is cheap, it barely hurts and no one can tell you have had work done.I personally think Botox is brilliant.

Unreasonable pole attachment rates and demands may be among the single biggest threat to our business. As a small operator dependent on pole attachments to serve my customers, the electric cooperatives take advantage of their market power by forcing me to comply with their onerous pole attachment rules. Their demands are so outrageous that we won't deploy service to some households in our communities, even though we'd like to expand our service area. Worse yet, some coops contract out the management of their pole attachments to firms that charge even higher rates, and provide even less service.
Alabama Broadband, LLC is a small broadband service provider located in Bessemer, AL. We have a full time staff of 10 employees and limited contract fulfillment personnel from time to time. We provide analog cable to about 2,900 customers as well as offer digital cable, high speed Internet and VoIP phone service in more than 20 communities in rural parts of Northern Alabama. The company was founded in January 2007.
In addition to pole attachment rates, the amount of money that our local broadcasters are demanding for retransmission consent is alarming. If we have to pay these fees, we'd be forced to increase our monthly basic cable rates by $2 or more. As a new company in the video business, we have to rethink every decision to even offer a video product.
With regard to how our programming is packaged, I wish our customers could have more choice. The large programmers force many companies like ours to offer a basic tier with lots of unwanted channels. Most customers prefer quality to quantity, and may wish to purchase smaller tiers of programming. If I had more flexibility, I could provide my customers a service that provides better value. For example, I'd offer a more limited basic service that includes general interest programming suitable for family viewing, and then provide tiers of specialty networks, such as national and regional sports networks, and other special interest programming.
It's more difficult for small operators to compete in the video business. Large operators have greater negotiating power with vendors, and they benefit from economies of scale. Smaller operators do enjoy some advantage in that they are local companies, and consumers seem to prefer well run businesses in their communities with local folks they can communicate with directly. Many small operators are very responsive to their customers' local needs, and offer sound customer service. However, unless current federal rules and regulations that put small operators at a disadvantage when negotiating carriage deals and pole attachments are changed, there may be a time when the only choice for consumers will be the large MSOs or Satellite.

Corydoras paleatus "pepper cory" eggs!
Woke up this morning to a beautiful surprise, my school of 4 pepper corys have laid eggs on the glass! The mother looks to be very happy and protective of her eggs, and there are quite a few. I was on my way out the door to work when I saw them, knew it was not snail eggs by the size and shape. Only problem I have is the Betta is semi-interested in them also, but they're too big for his liking. I'm hoping to keep him fed so he doesn't want to consume the babies.
Anyway, this is great news for anyone in NKY who loves cory cats because I will be giving away (or trading, if you have some cherry shrimp). I have never had health issues with them and quite frankly never intended to breed them. I've had them for about a year with no signs of breeding, then I dialed my temp back from 80* to 78* hoping for better plant growth and the beautiful side effect is my first spawn! Woohoo!
So excited, can't wait... Any advice? I need to take a crash course fast. Since I wasn't intending to breed, I'm hoping the natural approach to letting the mother protect her eggs will be sufficient, so far she seems to be doing a great job.
My wife reports 63 eggs so far, and more coming every time she checks!
Seriously people, I have a few spoken for... no idea how many will survive but they will need homes, I'd rather not give them to the local shop if I can avoid it! I want them to go to a good home. Free of charge, I'll deliver within a certain distance if you're a contributing member in good standing.
Any advice to their successful spawn would be greatly appreciated. Will be reading up on this tonight, very excited.

Some of the eggs, they're EVERYWHERE! :fish:
Bummer, almost 100 views and no reply. Think I've figured out what I need to do on my part to help the process, but still welcome to suggestions especially on relocating the eggs. Should I get a breeder net and move them to it to protect them from the Betta? I think they're too big for him to eat, but I do see some missing. Everything I've read suggests the corys will eat many of their eggs, so is it a good idea to separate them in a breeder net within the tank? My 2g spec isn't quite ready for fish, and I don't really want to spend the money on another tank nor do I have a suitable container to make do with. Should I just take the natural approach? I'd love to keep one or two of the babies for myself and have a school of 6, and I have a friend who has said he would take 4 if I'm successful... but no other takers if I have many to give away. Should I let nature run its course?
Breeder net for success. Grindal worms or baby brine for food. People will show more interest in trades when you actually have babies to trade, not just eggs. Definitely isolate the eggs though IE egg tumbler or breeder net

Thanks for the advice, will pick up a breeder box/net to isolate the eggs. Seems to be some great info on the net, but this forum has been great for the "what I shouldn't have done" style of advice. Given the fact they're still going at it, and I have quite a few eggs and a very well established tank I'd say there will be some that make it which is why I'm looking for good homes ahead of time, I do not have the tank capacity for more than 2 additional fish to maintain the water parameters.
I'm offering them free to local members, but wouldn't turn down a few cherry shrimp since I'm also nearly complete with my cycle on my nano and will be needing a few soon. :)
Good luck with them, I would stick to the info you find from reliable sources. I would imagine that you wight want to ensure good circulation in the net as they can sometimes restrict water flow. You might need to aim a small powerhead at it, or place it near an area where there is good water movement.
Just let nature process this.
one of my friends successfully breed a batch of cory even without noticing the eggs LOL. (She "surprisingly" found a bunch of babies one day :-))

Congrats on the eggs. I remember the first time I saw a baby fish in my tank. I thought I was imagining it :)
Thanks for the kind words all, it's moments like this that make all the headaches and bumps in the road along the way worth it... knowing my fish are happy with the environment I have created for them. Down to about 24 eggs now, but they don't seem to be as interested in eating them now. Letting nature run its course. It's amazing to watch their behavior, they have developed so much character lately. These little fish are amazing. Can't wait till I have berried cherries in my new nano too, but being patient with the tank and letting it mature while I learn to care for them properly.
Well? How'd things turn out with the eggs?
Forgot to post back, was in high hopes 10 would make it to hatch, but had a difficult root canal that kept me from driving out to get a breeder net. They've laid a few eggs since then, and again they ate them all. They're eager to breed, but I need another tank for the eggs. I'll catch a 5-10g on sale at petsmart and be ready for the next spawn.
Rather than a breeder net, you may want to consider a hang-on breeder box. Marina makes several different sizes and they're roughly $10 for a large one.
That could be a great option for you to put the eggs in and wouldn't require another tank.

Back in the day, Eddie's Ma and Pa owned traditional Italian delis and restaurants throughout Northern Illinois and Southeast Wisconsin. Not a fan of frigid Midwestern winters, Eddie made his way west from Chicago in 1991 and opened his first Portland venture in the atrium building at Skidmore Fountain Market. Skeptical of the west coast pies he found about town, Eddie introduced hungry market-goers to Chicago thin crust pizza. Twenty years and four locations later (including a short stint as a food cart), Eddie's on N. Killingsworth has now been a beloved corner-fixture of the Overlook neighborhood for seven years.
Butcher, Baker, Flat Iron Pizza Maker: Eddie didn't miss a detail in his quest to match the flavor and authenticity of an Italian American upbringing. Windy City curiosities pepper the menu, including Mostaccioli (don't let him catch you calling it penne), Italian beef, fresh ricotta, and flat iron toppings like green olives, breaded eggplant, and house-cured Canadian bacon (recipe compliments of his Pa, a butcher). This über thin-crust pizza is the yin to Chicago's deep-dish yang: Midwesterners fondly call its smashed (not stretched!) gluten "cracker-crust," which Eddie bakes to crispy perfection on steel oven plates. His pies are even served divided into "tavern cut" squares—the Chicago workingman's solution to a beer in one hand, slice of pizza in the other.
A trained baker since 18, Eddie himself bakes the bread that morphs into their famous oven-baked sandwiches, pinwheels and kale rolls, garlic bread, pizza crust, and hamburger buns. Not in the mood for pizza? Eddie's expanded menu has offerings to satisfy the entire family. Don't miss the Old Fashioned Burgers, crafted with locally-sourced, all natural St. Helens beef, and an array of homemade soups, salads, sandwiches and fresh-baked desserts (coconut cream pie, anyone?).
But who are we kidding? The highlight of this gem is the pizza, which Eddie has perfected by tirelessly sourcing the freshest ingredients to replicate the tastes he grew up with: Italian sausage and marinara from Chicago, mozzarella direct from upstate New York. Trust us, the bright tomatoey zing of Eddie's house sauces isn't like anything you've ever tasted. Unless, of course, you're also a Midwest transplant—in which case, your first bite will be just like coming home.

FRANKFURT--Industrial conglomerate Siemens (SI) said late Thursday it will buy back as much as 3 billion euros ($3.65 billion) worth of shares and cancel around 33 million treasury shares.
The share buyback will be financed mostly by long-term debt, the company said in a statement.
"The current debt-markets environment for Siemens in combination with its current valuation of its shares offers a unique opportunity for value creation in the long term," Siemens Chief Financial Officer Joe Kaeser said.
The program has been approved by Siemens' supervisory board and is backed by shareholders, the company added.
The buyback is expected to be executed by Dec. 30.
The cancellation of treasury shares will reduce capital stock to 881 million shares from 914 million.

Balancing EU Integration and National Interests in the Case-Law of the Court of Justice

Striking an appropriate balance between the requirements of EU integration and due consideration of the Member States' legitimate interests is a challenge well known to the Court of Justice of the European Union. This article aims to give a rather general answer to the question as to what extent the ECJ has managed to reconcile the promotion of the Union's interests with due regard for the Member States' interests on the basis of an assessment of three different categories of judgments. While on the one hand numerous cases in which the ECJ managed to balance well EU integration against Member States' interests can be identified, there are on the other hand some examples of less well balanced decisions of the Court as well as judgments remaining somewhat ambivalent. The analysis of selected rulings of exemplary character carried out in this article reveals that the Court of Justice has altogether successfully managed to duly take into consideration the respective interests, using a diversity of judicial techniques. Doubts persist however in regard to a general line of the case-law that concerns a particular reasoning in the established practice of the ECJ, according to which the Member States shall be obliged to adhere to the general rules of EU law even in fields which are not subject to competences of the Union. It seems desirable that the Court of Justice accurately justifies its reasoning and clearly defines the limits of this interpretation technique in order to avoid its extensive application. As the struggle for an appropriate balance to be struck between the aims of the Union and the interests of the Member States is today and will be in the future one of the core tasks of the Court of Justice, the article concludes by recommending certain interpretation principles that might be helpful in reconciling EU integration with Member States' interests.

Alex Andrews and Troy Collins meet for the fist time on the LIVE set and they hit it off immediately. While taking questions from the audience Troy's cockiness comes through which only turns on Alex (and the viewers). It's no surprise when Troy takes the lead and kicks back so Alex can service his thick dick. When Alex flips over and puts his big round butt in the air Troy moves in for a hot rim job. His plan all along was to lube up Alex's ass so he can fuck him - which he does in a couple different positions. Finally Troy kicks back and orders Alex to finish him off with a blow job. Both young studs get their nut!

Animal shelter responds to criticisms involving puppy tied to railroad tracks
Riverside County shelter reps say man who abandoned Banjo the puppy needs help, not jail time
MECCA, Calif. - The Riverside County Department of Animal Services said Wednesday an overwhelming show of public support for an abandoned dog crashed it's website.
A statement from the organization said the official county website, http://www.rcdas.org, was receiving hits 150 times its normal average usage causing an error message to appear for many users saying the site was temporarily down for maintenance.
The website had received links from several regional and national news outlets including the Daily Beast and Yahoo sharing stories about Banjo, a 10-month-old poodle-terrier mix.
The shelter also defended the decision not to seek criminal animal-cruelty charges against the 78-year-old man, believed to have tied the young animal to train tracks to be left to die.
A train's engineer used emergency brakes to avoid killing the dog.
The shelter statement said a Union Pacific Special Agent determined the suspect appeared to be senile and possibly suffering from Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
"The man spoke gibberish," according to the statement. "The special agent was going to be in touch with adult protective services to make sure that the man's family was going to be held accountable."
The shelter statement said, "We believe that people in need should also receive the care and attention that they need from their loved ones."
Banjo is currently being fostered by a veterinary technician who takes the young dog home each night to work on his shyness and to keep the dog familiar with other people and other animals. Banjo reportedly loves her other dogs.
The shelter said it's still in the process of collecting information from those interested in adopting Banjo, and hopes to nail down a list of the Top 10 finalists by sometime this week. It would then announce the adoption by early next week.
Anyone interested in adopting him must go through a special application process, and should email firstname.lastname@example.com about why their family would be best for Banjo.

Tamara Henriques - Women's Black Parasol Loafer Rain Shoe
Pretty parasols in classic black and white on a rainy-day shoe that loafs rather than stomps. I really like the arty feel to these.
Sperry found a way to make the weird ducky rain shoes actually semi-cute in a colorfully short cut lined with shearling.Tags: shoes, weather, red, rain, rain boots, loafers, rain shoes, sperry. sperry top-siderAdded 8 Years Ago from Endless
