Subject: [GENBOX] 6-Gen Pedigree Chart
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2003 17:46:17 -0800
On the 6-Gen Pedigree Chart, there is a long vertical line near the left
edge of the page that slices through some of the text. Does this line have
a purpose? I haven't seen it on other pedigree charts, either printed or
generated from programs. I like the Pedigree chart, but I don't
particularly like this line (which seems to serve no purpose that I can
tell) interrupting the flow and looks of the report.
If it serves a purpose that can be explained to me, I can live with it. But
personally I wish it would not show up on the reports.

Leading up to the challenge, Shaq, who coins himself "Manny Shaqquiao" for the exhibition match-up, will get boxing tips and be coached by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, while Oscar "The Golden Boy" de la Hoya gets trained by "the Executioner" Bernard Hopkins for this contest between speed and power. After rigorous preparations in both camps, see what happens when Shaq, who is an overbearing 7'1″ and 320 pounds gets in the ring with Oscar at 5″10′ and 160 pounds for this electrifying bout.
Mike Goldberg and Pat Tomasulo host, while Charissa Thompson serves as sideline reporter.
The series closely follows Shaq and his athletic adversary throughout the rigorous training process and the pre-game hype, including press conferences and interviews, all leading up to the final competition. To level the playing field, O'Neal will negotiate a handicap with his opponent in some events and train with a coach for one week leading up to each challenge.
"Shaq VS" is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 channel surround sound and Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning.

Change of Seasons: Page is multi-sport athlete for Wildcats
By JOSEPH ELERSON | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Jan. 17, 2008 - Sulphur Springs senior Kaylon Page has seen playoff atmosphere with the Wildcats football team this year, is currently dealing with a tough stretch in the basketball season and is setting his sights on the upcoming track and field season.
Page was a member of the bi-district football team that won a district championship this year, is currently a post player for the 14-11 Wildcats basketball team and is looking for a return trip to the regional track and field meet in the high jump this year.
"I played baseball my freshman and sophomore year and I have played football, basketball and ran track all four years of high school," Page said. "The coaches were talking last year about trying to see if I could break the school record in the high jump this year, but I don't know about all of that. I hope to do really good in track this year."
In 14 games this season, Page has scored 16 points, to go along with seven rebounds, three steals and one assist for the Wildcats, and said he doesn't mind the playing time he has gotten this season.
"If the guys are all out there and they are taking care of business then it doesn't bother me," the senior said. "But if they are out there and they are not giving their all, then I would definitely want to be out there. I know that they are working their hardest, so I don't feel any regret about not being out there."
With the Wildcats 11-2 start to the season and their current stretch of four straight losses and nine of their last 12 games, the Wildcats are currently looking up in the district standings at 0-2 with eight games remaining after losses to Mount Pleasant last Friday night and Lindale Tuesday night.
Page said he believes the Wildcats will bounce back in their next two games at Wildcat Gym against Paris and Texas High as the team probably needs to go 6-2 in the final eight games for a shot at the playoffs.
"It has been tough losing because losing is never easy, but we have played a whole bunch of good teams," Page said. "I think we have gotten better as a team since we have started this season. As we put things together, nothing but good things will come for the remainder of the year.
"I think we can do it and we have seen North Lamar once this year and we know we can beat them twice," he said in regards to the 6-2 finish to the season. "We played Lindale on Tuesday and we should have beaten them. We have seen Mount Pleasant and we know what we need to do if we ever want to beat them. I think 6-2 is a reasonable goal for us coming into the last eight games of the season."
One of the goals he would like for the basketball season is to get a taste of what Class 4A playoff basketball is like after seeing what it was like in football.
"I want to get into the playoffs because it has been a long time since Sulphur Springs has made the playoffs," he said. "I think that would make my season if we got into the playoffs."
Page is the son of Sherry Page and Quon Clayton and the youngest of three as older stepbrother Keenan Clayton is at the University of Oklahoma, while older sister Rhyannion is attending Stephen F. Austin State University.
He said he will be attending Texas A&M University in the fall to study architectural science in hopes of becoming an architect.

Comments about Women's MicroTherm® StormDown® Field Jacket:
I have a couple of the MicroTherm Storm Down jackets that are not the field jackets and the field jackets do fit differently. I can wear a medium tall in the regular MicroTherms (obviously don't need a tall being 5'4 but I like the extra length) but a medium tall was huge in the field jackets. I ended up getting a regular small and it's still plenty big - lots of chest space and long - might even have been able to wear the Xsmall in the field jacket but plan on keeping the small. So basically MicroTherm Storm jackets are more fitted and shorter compared to the MicroTherm Field Jackets.

Nice jacket
Comments about Women's MicroTherm® StormDown® Field Jacket:
Fits is long enough on me. I have the moss, it is darker than pictured. The two colors blend well. EB patch on the shoulder not too noticeable. I really do not like brand names to show on my clothes. The quality of this jacket is excellent. Very warm. Light weight. I will wear it hiking, backpacking, and camping. Good outdoor warm travel jacket.

What if there is no Opt clinic in a community?
Options for Sexual Health is always interested in discussing new service sites around the province.
What is required if a community wants a clinic?
To ensure that proposed new clinics can be successful and eventually self-sustaining, Opt requires:
- an assessment of community demographics and the potential client base
- demonstration of broad-based community support
- confirmation of the availability of physician services and volunteer support
- development of a short-term and mid-range plan of revenues and expenditures
- an initial start-up fund to cover expected losses during the first months of operation
We have all that...now what?
Once all the required information is gathered, contact the Executive Director or the Clinic Operations Manager who will be happy to guide you through the next steps.

My baby's due date is January 15. I'm not planning to have more kids and I would like to have liposuction and breast augmentation ASAP. My plan is to breastfeed the baby for a month. What's the minimum time that I have to wait in order to have each surgery? I do not mind at all to have one first and then the other.
Waiting Period for Lipo and Breast Augmentation After Pregnancy?
Doctor Answers 15
Breast augmentation or enlargement with implants following pregancy, childbirth, lactation and nursing.
This question has been asked multiple times on Realself and the answers generally vary but most surgeons will advise waiting anywhere from 3-6 months following cessation of nursing and achieving a stable weight.
The concern with placing implants prior to this is severalfold:
- The skin has not completely contracted nor has the breast gland completely decreased in size.
- Placing implants in breast tissue that has recently lactated may involve passage of the implants across lactating milk ducts with a greater potential for implant colonization and/or biofilm formation and/or infection.
- Placing implants in breasts that have recently lactated has the potential to trigger lactation and produce ongoing milk production (called galactorrhea.

Breast augmentation
In breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and shape. Many times this simply raises more questions. I will make measurements and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes that are reasonable for their body type and measurements.
Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!
Wait 6-12 months after finished breast-feeding before breast augmentation
Thank you for your question. It is recommended to wait 6-12 months before breast augmentation after finished breast-feeding.
It is also important to lose your "baby fat" before liposuction.
Usually both procedures can be done at the same time therefore waiting 6-12 months after breast-feeding cessation and when you're closer 3 times a day overweight would be the best option.

Breast augmentation and Liposuction after pregnancy....
Dr. Heck prefers that you are finished breast feeding for about 3 months prior to having breast augmentation surgery to allow your breast to shrink back to their normal size. Dr. Heck prefers that you wait about 6 months prior to proceeding with liposuction so you have time to lose the excess weight from pregnancy.
Breast augmentation surgery with lipo after pregnancy
Hi, I would recommend waiting at least three-six months after you finish breastfeeding prior to undergoing any surgery on your breasts. Regarding liposuction, your body may continue to change for six months after birth, so you may be able to have this done at the same time as your breasts.
This will really depend upon how much liposuction you need, and what the recommendations are of your plastic surgeon. Keep in mind that you will need some good help at home for a week or so during your recovery after surgery, and six month old babies love to be held. Good luck with everything, NSN.
Breast Augmentation and Liposuction after Childbirth
In order to prevent complications such as infection and capsular contracture, it is important to be sure there is no residual milk in the breast ducts. I require my patients to wait at least six months after completion of breast feeding before undergoing breast augmenation surgery. If there is residual nipple discharge after cessation of breast feeding, I reccommend that surgery be delayed until 6 months have passed with no discharge at all. In addition, liposuction should be postponed until most of a woman's post-pregnancy weight loss has occurred so that the best possible contour can be attained.
Wait 3 months after breast feeding for Lipo and Breast Augmentation
I would recommend waiting at least 3 months after stopping breast feeding or until you reach your prepregnancy weight or at least your goal weight. This is both for safety reasons as well as to be sure you get the results you are looking for. There is no point in having body changing surgeries while your body is still changing.
Liposuction and Breast Augmentation After Pregnancy
It's great that you want to regain your pre-childbirth body. But it's important to wait until you have lost all of the "baby weight." For the breast augmentation I recommend waiting at least 3-4 months after stopping breast feeding. This is usually enough time for the breasts to return to their prelactational state.
For the liposuction you will have to determine when you've lost the weight. Some patients are ready by 3-4 months and others not until a year. Only you can determine this.
Breast aug and Lipo after pregnancy
Thank you for your question!
You should technically wait at least three months after you have had a baby, but I would pronably recommend waiting at least six months. Your body goes through a lot of changes and stages when you are pregnant and have a baby.
Give your body time to settle down and restore itself. Plus this will allow you time to bond with your baby. If you don't wait, your body will still be changing which would defeat the purpose of the breast aug and lipo.
Best regards,
Dr. Speron
How long should I wait after childbirth before my Mommy Makeover?
Hi there-
For the first few months after childbirth, your body will be changing as it undergoes regression of the hormones of pregnancy. The regression of breast tissue engorgement will be further delayed by breast feeding, but I'm sure you are aware that the benefits of breast feeding for your baby far outweigh this bit of additional time before your mommy makeover procedure.
Because your outcome will depend on your body having achieved a stable weight and contour again after delivery of your baby, because this takes several months,and because the requirements placed on mothers of infants would make recovery from surgery impossible (and vice versa), I recommend waiting 6 months after delivery before surgery, and 6 months from when you cease breast feeding before breast surgery.
I would look at it this way- if you proceed with surgery sooner, but don't get the outcome you wanted (because conditions were not ideal), you will always regret the rush...
Conversely, if you are able to achieve the outcome you desire, even if you have to wait a bit longer, you will forever be happy you waited, and the extra month or two won't matter to you.

"Cirrhoteuthis megaptera Verrill, sp. nov.
Body small, very short, depressed, broadly rounded posteriorly, broader than long. Fins very long and narrow, their length considerably exceeding the breadth of the body, in alcoholic specimens; toward the base they are much thickened and supported by an internal cartilage, which does not appear to be continuous with the thin cartilage that extends across the body, just behind the fins. The fins are inserted just behind the eyes, and their breadth is somewhat greater in the middle than at the base; they narrow but little toward the tip, which is obtusely rounded. Head large and broad, exceeding the body in size and thickness in the preserved specimens, the greatest thickness being at the base of the arms. Eyes small, lateral, very far apart, the distance between them being, on the dorsal side, more than twice their diameter. Siphon short, conical, with a broad base. Gill-opening small, simple, only a little broader than the base of the siphon. Arms long, thick and strong, the dorsal ones a little longer than the others, which decrease successively to the ventral pair, which are, however, but little shorter than the third pair. The arms are thick and well rounded, especially on the basal portion, with the inner surface elevated along the median line, on which the suckers are arranged in a simple row; the marginal angles are but slightly indicated, and bear a row of small, slender, tapering cirri, alternating with the suckers, which are very small, urceolate, strongly elevated above the surface of the arms, and of a light yellow color, in strong contrast with the chocolate-brown of the arms. The distance between the suckers along the middle portion of the arm usually considerably exceeds, and is often double their diameter, but varies with the state of contraction of the arms; at the base of the arms they diminish in size and become more crowded; towards the ends they diminish very gradually, finally becoming very small and closely arranged. The web between the arms is very thick, swollen at the base, and on the dorsal side extends more than half the length of the arms; it is successively a little shorter between the lateral arms, and still shorter between the ventral ones. The color of the body and fins in the alcoholic specimens is bluish white, covered with rather large and irregularly arranged specks and spots of purplish brown. The same color extends more or less on the head, becoming paler and more gelatinous or translucent on the web at the base of the arms, through which the dark brown color of the arms can be distinctly seen. The arms, the outer portion of the web, and its entire inner surface are dark chocolate-brown. The suckers are yellowish white, with brown rims.
Total length, in alcohol, 107mm; length of body to gill-opening, 25 mm; breadth of body at base of fins, 20 mm; total breadth across outstretched fins, 68 mm; length of fins from base to tip, 24 mm; breadth across middle, 9 mm; at base, 8 mm; breadth of head at the eyes, 27 mm; across base of arms, 30 mm; diameter of eyes, 9 mm; breadth of gill-opening, 8 mm; length of siphon, 8 mm; length of dorsal arms, 95 mm; breadth in middle, 6.7 mm; diameter of largest suckers, l mm; length of the longest cirri, 2 mm; length of second pair, 85 mm; third pair, 80 mm; ventral pair, 78 mm; extent of web between dorsal arms, 45 mm; between first and second pairs, 42 mm; between the third and fourth, 32 mm. The other specimen of this species has the body and head nearly the same size, but these parts may be more contracted by the alcohol; the fins and arms are somewhat longer and larger. The length of one of the fins is 33 mm; its greatest breadth, 11 mm; across eyes, 27 mm; diameter of eye, 8 mm; diameter of largest sucker, less than 1 mm.
The sex of the two specimens described above is uncertain. There is no positive appearance of hectocotylization in any of the arms, but in the specimen first described the left arm of the second pair has a blunt, pale tip, before which the suckers cease abruptly, yet this is most likely due to the early stages of the reproduction of a new tip.
Sketches of this species were made by Mr. A. Baldwin, on the steamer, when the specimens first came up and had some life. From his sketches the figures on plate xliii have been made.
In the living state, according to these and other sketches, the fins are much larger and broader, with the end more rounded; and the anterior edge is thinner and more convex, than after preservation in alcohol, though the length is not much greater in proportion. The web appears broader, and the arms longer. In one specimen, from station 2224, the body is more elongated behind the fins than in the others, while the long and very broad fins are placed some distance back from the eyes, or about midway between the eyes and the end of the body, and the web does not extend half the length of the arms. It was at first thought that this individual might represent another species, but these creatures are evidently capable of changing their forms and proportions to a great extent, according to the state of contraction of their various parts.
Both the larger specimens of this species have a curious appendage on most, if not all, of the arms. This is a fleshy, tentacle-like process, with a somewhat thickened base, and a tapering, acute tip. It is situated at about the distal third of the arm, on the posterior side, near the edge of the web, and diverges widely from the arm. In one specimen this is present on all the arms of the left side and on two of those on the right side. On the other arms they probably have been destroyed, the arms being injured. The length of this organ is about equal to the breadth of the arms. When perfect these organs, which are muscular, were probably united to the web, and served to support or strengthen it. I am not aware that an organ of this kind has before been observed among the Cephalopods. But it may, perhaps, correspond to one of the transverse supports of the marginal membranes of Sthenoteuthis and Ommastrephes.
Two specimens (No. 39,963) were taken at station 2,225, N. lat. 36° 05' 30", W. long. 69° 51' 45", in 2,512 fathoms, on yellow ooze, bottom temperature 37° F.; and two at station 2,224, N. lat. 36° 16' 30", W. long. 68° 21', in 2,574 fathoms, globigerina ooze.
A small specimen, from station 2,220, appears to be a younger stage of this species, with which it agrees, in the small, short body; the narrow, elongated fins, and the comparatively small eyes, as well as in the chocolate-brown color of the inner surfaces of the arms and web; but the external surfaces of the body, web and arms are also strongly colored with deep brown. The arms in this specimen are nearly equal in length, the ventral ones, being a little shorter than the others. The web appears to extend farther toward the tips of the arms than in the larger examples, but this may be due to better preservation. The suckers are small, prominent, and closely arranged.
The total length of this specimen is 43 mm; posterior end of body to gill-opening, 13 mm; breadth of body at fins, 13 mm; length of fins, 9 mm; breadth, 4.5 mm; breadth of head across eyes, 17 mm; diameter of eye, 7 mm; from center of eye to tip of dorsal arms, 34 mm; to edge of web between dorsal arms, 23 mm; to tip of lateral arms, 31 mm; to edge of lateral web, 21 mm.
Station 2,220, N. lat. 39° 43' 30", W. long. 69° 23', in 1,054 fathoms, (No. 39,916).
This species appears to be closely related to C. plena in most respects, but has a very much smaller and shorter body, larger and relatively much longer fins, and the eyes are relatively smaller. The suckers are also smaller, more prominent, and less closely arranged, while the cirri are somewhat longer and more slender. The color of the body and arms is also much darker, and the texture less gelatinous."
(Verrill, 1885: 405-408)
"There are some differences between the type description which was based on an animal preserved in alcohol and the type illustration which was based on sketches of the fresh animal.
Martin Collins writes: "The type material of G. megaptera appears to be lost, the two specimens in the Smithsonian were in fact C. murrayi. Verrill had four specimens, but the whereabouts of the other two (the real megaptera types) is not known. I have examined 20-30 specimens from the NW Atlantic, and there are at least two species in the material, one of which may be megaptera. Again new material from the type location is needed." Collins (in press) examined a recent specimen from near the type locality of G. megaptera. This specimen had 90 suckers on each arm (ML 120 mm, max. sucker diam. 3.9 mm, max. cirrus length 4 mm). "

Bi-Partisan Bill Would Ban State From Assisting in Spying
In response to repeated federal admissions of widespread spying on citizens, a bi-partisan pair of State Senators has introduced a bill aimed at protecting the privacy rights of Californians.
That bill was Senate Bill 828, introduced Monday, not long after a federal judge declared the NSA's blanket phone collection program unconstitutional:
"I've introduced a bill, jointly authored with Republican Senator Joe Anderson to ban state officials and local officials from co-operating with the NSA and other federal agencies unless a specific warrant has been issued," said Democratic Senator Ted Lieu.
Senator Lieu says the Fourth Amendment prevents unreasonable search and seizure and that all 317 million Americans cannot be considered suspicious simply for making or receiving telephone calls.
The bill's introduction comes on the opening day of the latest legislative session.

Enormous quantities of yam and bread-fruit are on such occasions cooked two days previous, and kawa is drunk to excess.
Formerly the process of chewing the kawa was performed by the young girls, and then only by those who had the finest teeth.
The too liberal or long-continued indulgence in kawa seems to generate a peculiar 570cuticular disease.
Men in the habit of drinking kawa neither stagger about, nor speak thick and loud, when under its influence.
Here we found the headman, kawa, of Mpalapala, quite as hospitable.
The custom of kawa drinking is diffused over the whole of the islands of the Pacific.
When a man smelled the horses, he would run to the camp and say, "The wind tells us the kawa are coming."
The more of these scars a kawa drinker can show, the higher is his character.
They named it "kawa" because they noticed the odor of the horse.

text: THE NEW STANDARD IN AFFORDABLE SINGLE-SHOT RIFLESPlease Note! None of these rifles can be ordered on-line. Please contact your local authorized CVA dealer. Click here.The new SCOUT V2 is very similar in design to the APEX centerfire rifle, but without the interchangeable barrel capability. So, for the hunter who wants a high-quality single shot rifle in only one caliber, the SCOUT V2 is the ideal choice. Sleek, lightweight, and easy to operate, the SCOUT V2 sets a new standard for affordable single-shot hunting rifles. The SCOUT V2 sports a 22" fluted barrel that is constructed of 416-grade stainless steel. The stocks are lightweight and 100% ambidextrous, plus they feature CVA's CrushZone Recoil pad – a real plus for heavier calibers, like the .35 Whelen. The SCOUT V2 is also available in a "Compact" version (1" shorter stock and 2" shorter barrel) – which makes it perfect as a deer rifle for the smaller stature hunter, or for anyone as an easy to maneuver "truck gun" or "brush gun." Caliber offerings in the Compact model include .243, 7mm-08, and .35 Remington, while the standard length SCOUT V2s are chambered in .35 Whelen, .35 Remington, .44 Magnum, .444 Marlin, and .300 Blackout (with a suppressor ready 16.5 inch threaded barrel). All SCOUT V2 rifles feature a genuine DuraSight ®DEAD-ON™ one-piece scope mount as standard equipment.

San Marino High School's baseball team has a one-game lead on Monrovia in the Rio Hondo League with three games left to play. Any slip ups by the Wildcats and it could be curtains for their league title hopes.
The Titans beat Monrovia last Friday to take two out of three in the season series. Now, the question is whether any of the other Rio Hondo League teams will play spoiler in the final two weeks of the season.
"I don't think by any means that we need to worry about what San Marino is doing," Monrovia co-head coach Brad Blackmore said. "If we win the last three and that's not good enough to win it, then you tip your cap. We still have every chance at this title, but I won't be scoreboard watching.
"I would expect that if we do what we need to do on our end, you can probably get a little help. With (Jeff) Bain being out, they have to throw somebody somewhere beside (Miles) Glazier, so it's not impossible by any means."
Because Blair doesn't field a varsity baseball team, both San Marino and Monrovia have the same three games left. That means that La Canada, Temple City or South Pasadena will have a chance to shape how things shake out.
For San Marino, two of its final three games will come on the road. The Titans start that assignment on Thursday when they visit Temple City. Monrovia hosts Temple City today and visits South Pasadena on Thursday.
"At this point, our focus has to be on staying the course," San Marino head coach Mack Paciorek said. "It's really uncharted territory for us and it's been quite a while. You try to go out there and play the best you can play knowing that an upset can happen in the Rio Hondo League any given day. Anybody can jump on you if you're not ready."
The Titans could get a shot in the arm if ace Jeff Bain is able to get back on the mound. Bain hasn't pitched in a league game this season and San Marino is still on the verge of a title thanks to de-facto ace Miles Glazier.
Still, San Marino with Bain in any capacity becomes that much more dangerous. The Cal-bound senior is cleared medically to start throwing after a minor ailment in his right elbow. What role he might play when back is still up in the air.
"Now that the rest portion is over, you just work your way back," Paciorek said about Bain. "Obviously, the medical side of things is going to be cautious. The good part is nothing serious ever took place. He wants to get on the field and now he can finally do something about it. The rest phase is frustrating for an athlete.
"We'll get to see where he's at pretty quickly."
McConnell shows toughness
A scary moment took place last Friday during San Marino's win over Monrovia. Wildcats pitcher Brian McConnell had just finished warming up in the visitor bullpen down the third-base line when a foul ball hit him between the eyes on one hop.
McConnell had no chance to get out of the way as he was shielded by two people who moved to get clear of the ball at the last second. Despite being knocked down and needing several minutes to shake it off, McConnell later entered the game and threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings.

Herr Schmidt: Good morning class. My name is Herr Schmidt. I hope we will all have fun learning German together.
Molly: He seems nice.
Herr Schmidt: Quiet, you in the back.
Laz: Herr Schmidt still uses that Wobbly Chair? That thing's the worst. Legend has it, there was this kid in Schmidt's class who was sentenced to the electric chair. They say his last words were, "At least this one doesn't wobble."
Herr Schmidt: You must sit in the Wobbly Chair.
Jasper: What's that?
Herr Schmidt: This is the Wobbly Chair. Sometimes it leans to the right. Sometimes it leans to the left. It is oddly unsettling. Come.
Herr Schmidt: There are no hats allowed in class!
Jasper: Oh. That's right I'm sorry.
Herr Schmidt: Being sorry doesn't suddenly make you a person who didn't wear a hat to class, now does it?
Fred: Mr. Hut's here! Get rid of the Rascals! Get rid of the Rascals! I gotta go eat curry!
Lily: I'm a little nervous. I'm playing Muriel from the Candy Kitchen and she's an animal on offense.
Laz: Isn't she like 80?
Lily: Yeah. She's used to riding on one of these. She can't walk. That gives her a huge advantage.
Laz: You can't allow Schmidt to get away with his arbitrary rules. You allow that kind of power to go unchecked, next thing you know, this country's China. And I don't know about you, but I'm not giving up my fork.
Fred: Laz was famous for defying Schmidt's stupid rules. I was famous for following orders. He called me a good soldier. Next semester in history class, I felt so ashamed.
Laz: You got Herr Schmidt? He's the worst. I used to answer his questions in Klingon, the only language angrier than German.
Fred: Hey, it's Molly. How did she get in here?
Laz: I got her a swipe card under a phony name. Hey there Senator Ted Kennedy!
Molly: What did you do to Herr Schmidt? Because of you he hates me. And I want a new name on my swipe card!
Fred: I love the mall after hours. The peace. The serenity. One day when they finish cutting down all the trees, shopping malls will be our national parks.
Fred: (to Mr Hut) Yeah, go have sex with your free maid!
Herr Schmidt: You, whisperer. What is your name?
Molly: Molly Callahan.
Herr Schmidt: Callahan. Then Laz Lackerson is your stepbrother, yes?
Molly: Yeah.
Herr Schmidt: So then I can assume you are troublemaker just like him?
Molly: No not at all.
Herr Schmidt: That is unfortunate for you because I am going to assume it anyway!
Herr Schmidt: Good morning class. My name is Herr Schmidt. I hope we will all have fun learning German together.
Molly: He seems nice.
Herr Schmidt: Quiet you in the back.

Thanks man
Thanks man
These are a bit older and the "3d" is fucked in some places.I started doing graff a while ago but only for about 1-2 years then i didnt write anything for a few years.Now i started it again and want to improve
the third one looks like it`s furry cuz i changed the contrast.
im new here(: can i get some feed?

just some pen shit...whatever :/
feel free to tell me im using too many extensions, my bars are inconsistent, my letters are off, i need to go simpler, all that
this is just shit i did at work bored so im not taking it too seriously
the RAWR finished n shit

I am not a graffiti artist, I do not condone or participate in illegal graffiti, I simply collect, document, and display the work of anonymous artists, I am not accountable for any vandalism under the names represented in any of my posts, it was not me.
yo mainkampf those r sick, i dont really like the top one though but the 2nd and last one are sick, keep it up dude
The BombGirl, it aint terrible but its not good either, go more simple. lose the extensions and the random bends and what not, start out more simple and you'll get it
Kroe those r funky as fuk, i dig the style of ur top pic and it looks even better when its colored...fuking sick for a pen freestyle
kroe: why are you still in the toy sec??
kaze: ik. i just took a look again and i saw its ugly af... i drew a new one with diff letters.
@notmike: looked up jeremy fisher, i can kind of see what you're saying. these sketches were from years ago too... the rabbit on that sticker in my picture kind of used to be my bread and butter. i painted him alot, and i made a lot of stickers with it... actually, i still use a similar rabbit in some of my stuff now... he just kind of grew out of letter style...
more old toy shit from my first blackbook:
Bipo, Get some letter structure before you start entwining your letters. And keep your letters consistent. Look at how narrow your N is compared to your S. And burn through an old phone book with a sharpie to get a decent handstyle down.
Kroe, I like a lot of the sketches you drop on here including that newest post. Just keep developing those letters. Try to keep your style consistent to maximize flow. In that CAMERON one, the R disrupts the flow due to its high center of gravity and resulting negative space in its lower half. The E is also a little high. Overall it's pretty solid though. In the Rawr one, you have several small bars in the A and the W, whereas the two R's are much thicker. This seems to screw with the overall look of the piece. It would be dope if you thickened up the AW and gave the piece some power. Fucking RAWR. But yeah, keep messing with your bar sizes and widths and you'll continue to develop that style. You have loads of potential man - probably the most in this thread right now.
Main Kampf - second piece is dope, dont really like the curly Y tho.
Kroe - Mate you have progressed so well makes me pissed off that I dont have enough time to work on my shit and i seem to be progressing so slowly compared to others.
Bonbgirl - Its pretty good go a little simpler but its not too bad.
Arose - Those characters are sick.
Serena - Forget all the connections and overlapping for now, just make keyboard letters and make them equally spaced and the same size and same bar widths. You aint bad at simple letters but trying to make it all funky when your not ready for that makes it look way more toy than it really is. Keep it up though.
My Es too big and I fucked the D a bit, can I get crits? Thanks
Appreciate the crits guys
@Willis, what krumpet said. Maybe the bottom leg of the E too

Dementia, delirium and depression - referred to as the "3 Ds" - are common acute and chronic problems in the older adult. While it is possible for older adults to have more than one of these disorders, the three problems differ in diagnostic criteria and management. Therefore, it is essential to understand these diseases, quickly recognize them in older patients and help these individuals receive the most appropriate care.
Various Types of Dementia Dementias are neuropsychiatric disorders that include widespread symptoms of memory loss and deficits in cognitive ability. The incidence of dementia increases with age, and is caused by a variety of other diseases. Of these disorders, Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause and accounts for 60 percent of all cases of dementia.1
Other common causes of dementia include vascular dementia (multi-infarct dementia), or dementia due to medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease, HIV or Creutzfeldt-Jakob. Older adults with dementia demonstrate impairment in at least three of the following spheres of mental activity: memory, language, visuospatial skills, abstract cognition, emotion and personality.
Dementia syndromes are commonly classified based on three clinical patterns: cortical, subcortical and mixed. Cortical dementias are caused by Alzheimer's and Pick's disease, and include cognitive deficits such as memory loss, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, visuospatial and constructional difficulty, environmental disorientation, and impaired insight and judgment. There are generally no focal motor or sensory deficits that occur until the late stages of the disease.
Conversely, subcortical dementias manifest with signs of frontal lobe dysfunction including slowing of cognition, impaired ability to organize and retrieve information, motor impairment and involuntary movements. In these individuals, aphasia, apraxia and agnosia are absent and speech is hypophonic or dysarthric. Common forms of subcortical dementia include Parkinson's disease or normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Mixed dementia, most commonly caused by multi-infarct dementia, presents with a combination of cortical and subcortical clinical features. These individuals usually have focal neurologic symptoms such as hyperreflexia and extensor plantar responses, gait abnormality, incontinence, dysarthria, dysphagia and emotional lability.
In addition to the cognitive and functional changes associated with dementia, there are a number of behavioral manifestations that can occur. These patients may exhibit psychotic behaviors, paranoia and disruptive behavior including denial, wandering, apathy, restlessness, depression, emotional lability, disrupted sleep/wake cycle, repetitive actions and questions, and inappropriate social and sexual actions.
Clinically, dementia is differentiated from delirium in that dementia is a slow and persistent loss of intellectual function that occurs over months to years rather than an acute change that occurs over hours or weeks (see Table 1). Conversely, delirium is characterized as an acute disorder of attention and global cognitive functioning, and is particularly common in acute illnesses and in hospitalized older adults.
Delirium has complicated hospital stays for more than 2.3 million individuals, resulting in a cost of 17.5 million inpatient days, and accounted for at least $4 billion of Medicare expenditures related to hospitalization alone in 1994.1 Delirium often goes unrecognized in older adults due to a lack of awareness, as well as the challenges associated with the disease.
To facilitate the identification and diagnosis of delirium a simple method of evaluation, the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), can be used (see Table 2).2 Delirium presents with an acute onset (hours to days) and fluctuating course of confusion, inattention and either disorganized thinking or altered level of consciousness. Lucid intervals are possible and can be misleading for the clinician.
Certainly, knowledge of the individual's baseline status is imperative in making a diagnosis of delirium. Inattention is commonly noted and presents with an inability to maintain attention to external stimuli. The patient may appear to be easily distracted by things in the environment, have trouble maintaining a conversation or follow a command and may persevere with answers to questions. Disorganized thinking, demonstrated by the presence of incoherent or disorganized speech, may occur.
The altered level of consciousness noted in the older adult with delirium is more likely to be lethargy. Other features of delirium include cognitive changes such as memory impairment, psychomotor agitation or retardation, and perceptual disturbances such as hallucinations, paranoid delusions, emotional lability and a sleep-wake cycle reversal. Disorientation and inappropriate behavior are sometimes used as symptoms of delirium. These symptoms, however, are also commonly found in dementia and depression and should not be considered indicative of delirium.
There are many risk factors and causes of delirium in the older adult: acute illness, e.g., infection, cardiac disease such as myocardial infarction or failure; dehydration; underlying cognitive impairment; sensory impairment (hearing, visual); psychoactive medication use; sleep deprivation; restraint use and change of location.
Delirium may occur, for example, in a patient with un.derlying cognitive or sensory impairment who has an acute illness. Alternatively, delirium may occur in an individual who is relatively resilient but is exposed to multiple noxious insults such as anesthesia, major surgery, multiple psychoactive medication, infection, decreased oxygen saturation or sleep deprivation.
Depression Although major depression is less common in the elderly than in younger individuals, more than 2 million of the 34 million older adults (individuals 65 years of age and older) live with some form of depression.3 Despite these numbers, many older adults and professionals do not recognize the symptoms of depression and, consequently, adequate treatment is not given. Lack of treatment can have fatal outcomes, as the elderly are responsible for 25 percent of suicides and have a higher rate of completed suicide compared to all other age groups.
There are many contributing causes to depression including physical, psychological and social factors (see Table 3). Diagnosis of depression, however, is a major challenge for health care providers because its symptoms are easily associated with normal age changes or chronic medical problems and, overall, older adults are reluctant to seek treatment for depression. These symptoms can include: lethargy - feeling tired and not wanting to do anything; constipation; decreased appetite and loss of weight; decreased sexuality; difficulty concentrating; sleep problems; feeling worse in the morning; feelings of sadness, anxiety, fear and agitation; loss of pleasure in usual activities; social withdrawal; hopelessness (possible suicide attempts) and complaints of many somatic problems that become exaggerated.
Like care providers, older adults tend to associate their problems with medical or age-related changes, are concerned about the stigma related to depression and mental illness, and may be reluctant to take another medication.
Treatment The early stages of dementia (individuals with only mild cognitive impairment) have been treated with cholinesterase inhibitors, such as tacrine (Cognex®, Parke-Davis), donepezil (Aricept®, Roerig) or rivastigmine (Exelon®, Novartis). These drugs increase the amount of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. Tacrine is of limited usefulness because of liver toxicity and the need for frequent dosing. Donepezil has been reported to decrease cognitive decline over a 6-month period.4 Rivastigmine has been shown to improve function and decrease caregiving needs of individuals with dementia.5 Vitamin E and ginkgo biloba have also been used in dementia with inconsistent findings regarding effectiveness.6-8
Dementia, which is not reversible, is best treated using a variety of management strategies such as avoiding medication that might worsen cognitive function, maintaining a safe nonrestrictive environment to facilitate functional performance and incorporating behavioral interventions (see Table 4). When necessary, additional treatments with antipsychotics and anxiolytics can also be used (see Table 5).
Treatment for delirium involves identifying and treating the underlying cause, such as infection, while using behavioral interventions (see Table 4), antipsychotics and anxiolytics as necessary until the delirium resolves. Ideally, interventions should be implemented to prevent delirium in older adults by identifying those at risk and avoiding precipitating factors. In particular, interventions that focus on the medical-neurochemical or pathophysiological causes of delirium should be considered.
Likewise, treatment for depression should initially attempt to determine specific factors that might be contributing to the condition and eliminate or decrease these factors if possible.
Medication may be effective in decreasing depression in the older adult, particularly when there are no known contributing factors. Existing antidepressant drugs are known to influence the functioning of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, primarily serotonin and norepinephrine, known as monoamines. Older medications, such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), affect the activity of both of these neurotransmitters simultaneously. Note that TCAs and MAOIs are difficult to tolerate due to side effects or, in the case of MAOIs, have dietary and medication restrictions.
Newer medications, such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have fewer side effects than the older drugs, making it easier for older patients to adhere to treatment. Both generations of medications are effective in relieving depression, although some people will respond to one type of drug but not another. Psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy are also useful in the treatment of depression.
Dementia, delirium and depression are common problems noted in older adults. Nurses working with these individuals should be vigilant in implementing interventions to decrease the risk of delirium or depression - particularly in older adults who have an underlying dementia - and continually evaluating older individuals for each of these problems. Once identified, nurses should work with primary health care providers to be certain that appropriate interventions are implemented as soon as possible.

Homeschool Piano Lessons
There are so many advantages to homeschool piano lessons. Not only can you save a TON of money teaching your child this way, but you can also start at any age. Most piano teachers have an age restriction and won't start teaching toddlers until they are at least 5, but as a mother myself (and piano teacher) I know that children are ready to learn sooner than this. Their lessons will be shorter at first of course because their attention span isn't very long yet, but there is no problem with this when you can just download piano lessons and teach your child yourself from home.
Even if you have no musical background yourself, you can still use these downloadable piano lessons to teach your child. It can actually be a lot of fun to learn right along with your child.
Another advantage to homeschool piano curriculum in the form of piano lesson downloads is that the lessons are designed for many different skill levels. So if you are a complete beginner they are perfect, or if you have had lessons before you can just continue on from where you left off.
Piano lesson DVD's or instant downloads are also a lot of fun; they have interactive games that make learning theory fun instead of a chore. And they can teach you how to play by ear as well as how to read music.
Click Here to Download Piano Lessons
Adding music lessons to a child's curriculum will help them advance in many different areas as well, but if you can't afford piano lessons with an actual teacher, downloading piano lessons online is the perfect alternative.
Homeschool piano lessons will only cost you a one time fee of $39.95, whereas traditional lessons can cost nearly that for 1 or 2 lessons total. Have you ever thought about how much it would cost for weekly lessons at $20+ per lesson?
It would cost you about $1000+ to take lessons for one year! You probably think that the $39.95 can't possibly be worth it then, that the instruction is lacking, but I assure you it is not. You can go ahead and read some testimonials from others who have tried download piano lessons and you can even sign up for some free lessons before you buy anything, just to make sure it is going to be what you want.

This is the best way to add homeschool piano lessons to your child's learning schedule. It is a lot of fun, won't cost you much, and I think you'll be amazed by the quality of the instruction and videos.

Decision makers
- The European Parliament
Adjourn the adoption of the regulation about personal data.
Europe must not forbid data preservation, but on the contrary ensure their protection and controlled access. It must ensure citizens that sufficient technical, financial and human resources, including the presence of skilled professionals will be granted to manage data properly.
- European Parliament
- The European Parliament
To keep big Internet corporations (Google, Facebook etc...) from retaining and using our personal data, the European commission and European parliament are ready to rush through a radical solution for the spring of 2013 : a regulation that will compel public and private organisations to destroy or anonymize such data once the purpose for which they were created and gathered is achieved. The Commission wants to ensure a right to oblivion for European people that guarantees respect for privacy.
This regulation will focus on personal data in every format, paper or electronic. It will be implemented immediately and will prevail over national existing legislations and regulations.
Did you recently graduate? Schools or universities will destroy your file. Did you sell your real estate property ? The land registry office will destroy every trace of your property. Are you no longer employed ? The organisation you worked for will delete every bit of information related to you. Do not count on public organisations or your employer, you will be the only one responsible for your own personal data.
It is obvious that the re-use of personal data unbeknown to citizens and for commercial purposes, all this easily facilitated by new technologies, must be fought by every means, but systematic destruction or anonymization of data to avoid any trouble is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Rather than reinforcing a secured preservation and a controlled access to our heritage, compliant with individual liberties, Europe will impose a collective amnesia for our own good.
Collecting and preserving personal data for patrimonial or legal purposes beyond the needs leading to their creation, ensuring access to information while protecting privacy is the privilege of democracies, which have had strict legislation in this domain for a very long time.
Europe must not forbid data preservation, but on the contrary ensure their protection and controlled access. It must ensure citizens that sufficient technical, financial and human resources, including the presence of skilled professionals will be granted to manage data properly.
To avoid a decision with irreparable consequences, we ask the European commission to adjourn the adoption of this regulation and debate it in depth.
