One of my favourite eggcorns is "dire rear", which nevers ceases to amaze and amuse. Dying rear, though not as good homophonically, does present a subjectively accurate picture.
H Pylori is everywhere. The symptoms are miserable with heartburn, gas, dying rear, strong reaction to certain foods and only antibiotics can kill this bug.

So I woke up at like 4am with vomiting and dying rear! I was in bed all day and still don't feel right! I did manage to hold down a p-nut butter and banana sandwich earlier!

As wonderful as David's new additions to our diarrhea-reshaping inventory are, what really caught my eye was the (eye-catchingly boldfaced) "epizutic." My spellchecker just autocorrected to "epizootic," and that's the obvious origin of the reshaping; according to the OED, the acorn means "Of diseases: Temporarily prevalent among animals; opposed to enzootic." This may have entered the common vocabulary during the "Great Epizootic of 1872," an epidemic of horse flu that infected nearly every horse in North America (it seems to have started in Ontario – thanks, guys!), and killed about one percent of the horse population. (The Wikipedia article on "Equine Influenza" has a rundown on the 1872 outbreak.) Contemporary accounts talked about outbreaks of sickness among humans, but medical historians insist the virus is unlikely to have been a "zoonose" that could jump species.
In any case, it looks like people in rural areas picked up the word to mean—more or less—flu-like symptoms in humans, but the citations below give a range of more colorful definitions. Like "the cold" and "the flu," it usually takes the definite article, but it also shows up in a plural-looking form (maybe on the model of a word like "obstetrics").
There's a thread at Metafilter on this phrase that features none other than the esteemed LanguageHat, and he alludes to having written a post on the term at the Wordorigins site. But I can't get the link to work. But here's the Metafilter thing, with lots of testimonials: http://ask.metafilter.com/30653/Colorfu … ican-South Examples:
At urgent care, my suspicions were confirmed; I had what my Grandmother used to refer to as "the epizutic." That was her word for "whatever is going around right now." In this case, the epizutic happened to be a flu-like virus that made people heave up their toenails and generally feel drunk and stupid.

It's Sunday morning, and I am nursing myself through an attack of the epizutics (a Shenandoah Valley term which covers any undiagnosed illness) – it's probably the flu.

I have always heard older people talking about having the "epizutics." Well, we have definately had the epizutics for the past couple of weeks. Our whole family was sick with something that was sort of like the flu, Darren and I were both sick for about a full week, Mason and Adam both had double ear infections, Adam's right eye swelled up as a result of him being sick.

The proctologists amongst us advocate a diet of highly laxative content. Their entire focus in life is peristalsis. Stewed fruits, stool softeners, copious liquids hopefully containing dissolved fibre, constant preoccupation with fear of constipation, polyps, pre cancerous lesions, fecal impactions and gastroenterological epizutics. They are in the main of recent European descent and extremely anal retentive by nature, culture and heritage. They and their minions live in a hemoroidal fixation, expecting daily bowel movement inhibiting inflammation of their nether regions.

They'll be overcome by the vapors at such strong language. "Well, I never!" they will declare, from Billo to Seanie to Fox & Friends. Everyone will be just shocked to hear such vile sentiments.

[Here, "epizutics" seems to be a cure rather than an ailment.]
Half the family now has the barking-seal-sounding croup, had to deal with a two-year-old trapped in the body of a twelve year old who JUST! COULDN'T! GET! HER! HAIR! TO! DO! RIGHT!, had to get everyone to swallow bowls of mushy cereal (mushy only because of the time they spent arguing the finer points of "Uh-HUH!-
UH-UHHH! DID! DID NOT!" rather than eating), had to roll wife out of the door on a gurney due to her debility with the barking-seal-sounding-croup (I believe hers has actually passed on into the epizutic), had to stop at the post office on the way out on my morning child delivery run to buy two three-cent stamps, which is always a pain because of the dodginess of the stamp machines, then had to swing by the gas and water works office to drop off my bill and keep the water and gas turned on another month, then get the kids dropped off at the appropriate schools (and this morning I was really wishing for a more conveniently located reform school), then dropped my mind into neutral along with everyone else travelling on I-59 South into Birmingham, got in and found out that not only had my just-mailed-in telephone bill contained a charge for receiving a call from a number in Vincennes, Indiana, said call was to a personal 800 number I never knew I had, and said call came from a fax machine, which required a call to Verizon Long Distance Customer Service to cancel the 800 number (still have to pay for the call, though, and the apologetic fellow on the other end punctuated his apology with "really-that's not a lie," which is a sad commentary on something) and finally I had to write this paragraph.

It seems that the spelling of "epizutic" comes from not pronouncing the two o's in epizootic separately. It's like in zoology, not in zoo. Although Boolean Algebra isn't a daily topic of discussion, it is also rare to hear those o's pronounced separately, as they should be. It's too bad we can't easily type the dieresis (No, that's not another re-shaping of diarrhea) over the o for these words.

"I always wanted to be somebody. I should have been more specific." – Lily Tomlin
Great story, Pat. The epizutics may have spread far and wide through the dance hall tune from 1897 mentioned in your link, "I've got the ooperzootic". References to ooperzootics can now be found from Scotland, New Zealand and especially Australia. I'd love to find the lyrics to that one. LanguageHat indicated that "epizootie" was another variant. I wonder if that is not a contribution from Quebec; epizootie is a French word for epizootic.
Just got back from the doctor's office and can we all say "epizutie"? Cause that is what I call it. When I was little and had a nasty cold/cough/flu symptoms that's what my grandmother called it.
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php … 79&page=80
"The oopizootics": 'An undiagnosed complaint' (C.J.Dennis, 1916): a joc. artificial word: late C.19–early 20. F.W.Thomas, in a letter to E.P., quoted the chorus of a popular song about 1890: 'Father's got 'em, Father's got 'em,/He's got the ooperzootics on the brain,/He's running round the houses/ Without his shirt and trousis,/Father's got 'em coming on again'.
A dictionary of slang and unconventional English
''Whenever anyone in my family was a bit off colour with an unknown bug,'' writes Jan Bell, of East Hills, ''he/she was said to have 'umpasootis in the umpygoriam'. A wonderful illness from which I, as a child, suffered often. It was one of my mother's favourites, along with 'In your eye and Paddy McGinty's goat'
Column 8, Sidney Morning Herald, 07/13/2010
And from Jan Bell's ''umpasootis in the umpygoriam'' we move on to the family saying ''I've got the oopersootics in me parallelogram'' from Helen Townes, of Greenwich, who is now intrigued whether one is a corruption of the other.
Column 8, 07/14/2010
John Curtin, of Northwood, suggests that a regional corruption may account for Helen Townes' use of ''oopersootics'' (Baffling words used by families, Column 8, since Tuesday). ''I grew up in nearby Hunters Hill where my father, a Macquarie Street physician, would dismiss any attempts by me or my seven younger brothers to take a sickie from school with, 'You've only got a pain in your oopizootic!'
Tony Barker, of Carlingford, [...] writes: 'My grandmother used to tell me I had ooperzootics in the pericorium, which might have been her corruption of pericranium.''
Column 8, 07/15/2010
The song quoted is not the same as another I managed to track down, in Australia. The chorus of I've Got The Ooperzootic, sung by Johnny Danvers, words by Harry Hunter, Music by Edmund Forman, goes like this:
Oh! I've got the ooperzootic and I don't know where I am,
I've got the ooperzootic in my parallelogram,
My heart is in a wobble and my head is in a whizz!
For I've got the ooperzootic and I don't know where it is.
It may be in my finger and it may be in my thumb,
It may be in the corner of my pericardium!
The characteristics of intensive care include infusion of a large amount of solutions to attain an abundant diurrhesis of 100 ml per hour.
The way Popper appropriated Tarski's work provides the groundwork to attitudes concerning definitions and argumentation such as his "negativism", that is, his unwillingness to give positive definitions to theoretical concepts, as well as the related notion of diarrhesis ('division' or 'distinction')

I've NEVER heard Boolean pronounced other than Boo-lee-un, and I hear people discussing Boolean variables and Boolean algebra regularly. I just checked various online dictionaries and couldn't find one with an alternate pronunciation. Is there a reference on this?
"Boolean" rhymes with "Julian" for me, and that seems to be the case, too, for the people doing the pronunciations at the Merriam-Webster pronouncing dictionary, as well as for those producing the American and British audio samples over at Wiktionary (the American sample there may have been lifted from MW—they sound similar). And "Boolean" is from the name of an English mathematician named George Boole, so the pronunciation I'm familiar with also makes sense to me etymologically.
Speaking of Wiktionary, the first footnote to the article there on "epizootic" cites a medical journal from 1873 that links the use of "epizootic" for human illnesses with the Great Epizootic of 1872; it also notes that people were using "zooty" as an abbreviation for the term within a year of the outbreak. In fact, all of the footnotes there are worth reading.
When I was studying Math in the 70s, it was spelled Boölean, and pronounced with separate o's (just like the "ool" in zoology), as was the constellation Boötes (pronounced with two long o's).

Dazzling Dodge!Team Owner Don Schumacher and his driver, Gary Scelzi, unveiled what was arguably one of the most impressive looking Funny Cars of all time during NHRA's Mac Tools Gatornationals in March. The team was buoyed by major sponsorship direct from DaimlerChrysler, and with that ran an absolutely stunning new machine-an '03 Dodge Stratus painted Ruby Viper Red and adorned with Dodge's "Grab Life by the Horns" advertising slogan. The machine ran as good as it looked. Not only did Scelzi run it to a Final Four placing during its debut race, the team was also presented with the Mac Tools Gatornationals' highly prestigious Best Appearing Pro Car award. "This thing is very swoopy and far more sinister looking than anything I've ever driven before," affirmed Scelzi, who won NHRA's Top Fuel World crown in 1997, 1998, and 2000. "The first word that comes to mind is sexy. I was really taken aback when I first saw it."
The effort was spearheaded by Brett Fischer, drag racing program manager for DaimlerChrysler. "We saw this as an opportunity to introduce our nearly 3,000 Dodge dealers to the NHRA and show them what kind of power a championship-caliber driver has driving for a championship-caliber team with a championship-caliber body," said Fischer. "Our relationship with NHRA has been primarily through the Mopar Parts division to this point, and we saw this as a great opportunity to expose Dodge dealers and the Dodge brand to NHRA racing. Our new partnership this year with Schumacher Racing has brought an entirely different outlook, not only with our NHRA fans but also internally with our employees and our engineers. Gary couldn't be a better representative of what Dodge is about. Grabbing life by the horns and driving a 325-mph-plus Funny Car down the track is kind of the essence of what Dodge is all about. It's a perfect match in our eyes."
"This type of promotion can only strengthen our relationship with DaimlerChrysler and the Dodge brand's relationship with NHRA," added Schumacher. "It's a joint effort between our team and DaimlerChrysler to help promote Dodge's presence in NHRA."
The team revealed that the "Grab Life by the Horns" Dodge would be raced at only select NHRA events this season, not the least of which is the marquee Mopar Mile-High Nationals in mid-July.
Texas' Top SportsmanRick Jones wasn't the only Mopar racer to prevail during IHRA's '03 season-opening event. In the fiercely-fought Top Sportsman category, New Mexico's Craig Hughes prevailed driving his unique and reliable 572ci '79 Dodge Charger. Hughes' win was the first national event title of his career and came from the 8th qualified position. He sealed the event victory in the final round when he carved out a perfect .500 reaction time to make his 7.613 seconds at 183.40 mph to win over Britt Cummings.
Dodge DecisionMountain motor Pro Stock racer and race car builder Rick Jones charged to a historic national event win in early March when he prevailed during the IHRA's season-opening Amalie Oil Texas Nationals at San Antonio. The victory, Jones' first career win as a driver, came with his 815ci Hemi-powered Dodge Neon. The win was significant because it was the first for the Dodge brand within IHRA's Pro Stock division since Bobby Yeowell's circuit win in 1979.
Teamed with his racing partner, Mark Stockseth, Jones qualified the Illinois-based Quarter-Max Components Dodge Neon in the Fourth position (6.609 seconds at 210.28 mph) before topping the field. In the final round, he defeated defending IHRA Pro Stock World Champion Brian Gahm using a better starting-line reaction time and running a winning 6.635 seconds at 209.14 mph. Jones' Neon was the only DaimlerChrysler product entered in Pro Stock competition at the event.
"The win was special for a number of reasons," said Jones. "We were originally involved with the Mopar factory team on the NHRA side, and I did a lot of development for them. We wanted to race something different, so we then decided to race a Dodge over here." The year 2002 was a time of learning, admits Jones, thankfully not without progress. "This event win was just a result of all the hard work leading up to it," he said.
Jones reported that while the event win at San Antonio was rewarding for Mopar fans, he expects much more to come. He had announced prior to the season the formation of a two-car IHRA Pro Stock team in conjunction with Canada's Larry and Wayne O'Brien. Both Jones and Larry will make their debuts driving twin Hemi-powered Dodge Stratus machines this spring.
"New cars aside, we are particularly excited about our new engine program, which will meld some new Hemi cylinder heads being developed by Larry O'Brien with Jon Kaase's motors," said Jones. "I think there is an endless amount of potential for that. The current Hemi heads we are using are really designed for 500 cid Pro Stock racing. With the new cylinder heads, I believe we will be very hard to deal with.
"We were excited about putting the Mopar brand back in the winners circle again and also putting the Hemi engine back on the map in IHRA's Pro Stock class," Jones added.
The team expects the new configuration Hemi engine to be entered into competition at the IHRA's Mopar Canadian Nationals at Grand Bend, Ontario, in late May.
Combo ChampHardcore Western Canadian drag racer Glen Person, from Regina, Saskatchewan, tuned up nicely for his '03 racing season when he won the Super Stock/Stock eliminator Combo race at "The Strip" at Las Vegas Speedway in late March. Person drove his G/SA '72 Duster to victory at the all-Mopar event, which was presented by Utah's Phil Painter, a Mopar dealership owner who has a history in the area. Person ran right on his dial no fewer than three times during the competition.
"We saw the Painter's event as a nice tune-up opportunity for the national event the following weekend," said Person, who has been racing his car since 1995. "We are running a new motor this year, and we needed some time with it."
Person's machine features a 340ci engine that was blueprinted by Don Little and machined by Ken Murray. Person went on to win the G/SA class runoff during the NHRA event the following weekend.
Quick WhitNitro Funny Car class star Whit Bazemore had his best finish yet driving a Dodge during NHRA's SummitRacing.com Nationals held in Las Vegas in April. Bazemore set the low e.t. for the event at 4.788 seconds, driving the spectacular new Matco Tools '03 Dodge Stratus, owned by Schumacher. Bazemore appeared primed for certain victory before suffering a stinging red-light foul start in the final round that cost the pre-race favorite potential victory. Bazemore had wheeled his Stratus to the second-fastest FC speed of the event at 324.44 mph during qualifying action.
"Originally, this was a Super Gas car with an iron-block 440," reveals Murphy. "We put a Hemi into it about four years ago, and it's been evolving ever since. We are limited to how fast we can run it, however-the chassis is tagged for 7.50s."
Murphy scored his biggest career win during the past '02 racing season when he prevailed in the popular Top Comp division during NHRA's Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event held at Race City Speedway in Calgary, Alberta, last August.

Armani Critiques Prime Minister Renzi's Fashion Sense
Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi might have won the support of a large part of Italian voters at the past European elections. But he's low in the approval ratings of his country's top fashion guru.
Speaking at the end of his show on the last day of the Milan men's fashion week, Giorgio Armani suggested to Mr. Renzi, who often goes without a tie as part of an image as a challenger to the Italian establishment, to ease up on his casual style – starting with scrapping the premier's omnipresent white shirt.
Italian men tend to wear white shirts at formal events, often shunning it for the office as an overly American style. Mr. Renzi is "cute, but that white shirt….," he told journalists Tuesday.

Twins GM Ryan Says He Has Treatable Cancer
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Twins general manager Terry Ryan has been diagnosed with cancer. He will not be with the team for the start of spring training so he can focus on treatment and recovery.
The Twins released a statement from Ryan on Monday, describing the recent discovery of a lump in his neck by the team physician during a routine annual physical. The subsequent biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma.
Ryan says further tests indicated the cancer appeared to be confined to his neck and had not spread. He says he has been assured his condition is treatable and he remains optimistic about a return to good health "in the near future."
Ryan has begun treatment at the Mayo Clinic as well as Minnesota Oncology.

Party-goers in Colombia's second largest city rang in the New Year with a round of violence that left nine people dead at a swanky gathering at a suburban mansion.
On the evening of Dec. 30, 16 people arrived at a large home in the Medellín suburb of Envigado. The next morning a cleaning lady found nine bloodied bodies – five men and four women – sprawled across two floors of the home.
Police in Medellín theorize that the killers used silencers on their firearms because neighbors reported not hearing any sounds of gunfire or struggle, but they did report seeing several trucks arrive at the mansion. Local authorities also found a motorcycle, an armored van with the plate covered and found a gun on the home's premises.
Intelligence suggests that the home was a meeting place for Medellín's main organized crime group, La Oficina de Envigado, where the men planned to celebrate the end of the year and discuss promotions within their ranks, said Medellín's police chief, General Yesid Vasquez.
Police added that Jorge Mario Marín, alias "El Morro;" Hugo Fernando Uran Mesa, alias "El Panadero," and Carlos Andres González Hernández, alias "El Mosco" – all known members of La Oficina – were among the dead. The four women, three of whom had their hands still pressed against their faces when they were killed, were found in one room and are believed by authorities to have been entertainment for the bosses.
Medellín police are bandying about two theories about the massacre.
One is that there was an argument between two groups at the party, ending in the slaughter at the mansion. The other is that an independent group of gunmen broke into the party and opened fire.
In the 1980's and 1990's, the city was the poster child for the Colombian drug trade and home base of Pablo Escobar, the infamous Colombian drug lord who was killed on a Medellín rooftop by a joint U.S.-Colombian operation in 1993.
After his death, violent crime continued to rise in the city as factions once under Escobar's control vied for control of territory. Diego Murillo, alias "Don Berna," of La Oficina eventually wrestled control of the organization and held it until his extradition to the U.S. in 2006.
Since then there has been a bitter and sometimes bloody power struggle within the organization, which has lead to one hypothesis about the Dec. 30 massacre. Another Colombian drug trafficking organization, Los Urbaños, is looking to make inroads in Medellín, however, and could also be responsible for the slaughter.
"The key question is who were the other men who arrived at the celebrations and later left. Police believe these men to be the killers and that they are other senior members of the Oficina," wrote Jeremy McDermott of Insight Crime. "However it is not only the Oficina that is eyeing the criminal prize of Medellin. From their stronghold to the north, the Urabeños are looking to take over the city's underworld, allowing them to unite the city with the Caribbean coast where they control drug trafficking routes."
Despite the recent massacre, Medellín, once known as the world's most violent city, has seen a renaissance in recent years as violent crime rates have dropped, business has flourished and the "City of the Eternal Spring" has seen an influx of tourists.

Volume 19, Number 8
December 2002
By Keely Dunn
Dealing with e-mail overload is one of the most pressing challenges for practitioners and law offices today. E-mails are on their way to replacing fax, courier, and snail mail communication as the accepted way for lawyers to communicate with their colleagues, opponents, clients, and other professional contacts, and we all send and receive e-mail from nonprofessional sources as well. But the sheer volume that results from how easy it is to send, forward, copy, and answer creates as many occasions for curses as there are for blessings.
You may have heard about products that will help you filter, archive, and make sense of your e-mail deluge, and about e-mail specialists who will spare no effort to keep you organized. However, the real truth is that, as with so many other things, the best way to deal with the e-mail explosion is not through technology but through developing better work habits: doing more with less.
Go RAFTing
What you need when you're swamped with e-mail is a RAFT-not an actual seaworthy construction but a series of principles that can help you deal with incoming mail instead of watching it accumulate
in the Inbox or in various hidden sub-folders. RAFT was developed by Tom Rowe of Practice Management Partners (www.practicemanagementpartners.com) and Bob McNeill of the McNeill Group (www.
mcneillgroup.org) after they realized it was as easy to shuffle virtual paper around virtual desks as it was with the real thing.
The RAFT acronym stands for the following steps:
Refer. Letting e-mails languish in your Inbox because you don't have the information necessary to answer is inefficient and unnecessary. Refer e-mails to the appropriate person at the start. Passing the buck, shucking off the work-whatever you call it-is, after all, why the Forward button was invented.
Act. E-mails are a terrific way to convey information quickly. However, once you've read that very salient e-mail, it will sit in your Inbox and grow moss with the rest of your expanding volume of messages. The Inbox is the procrastinator's dream: You aren't really forced to do anything with a message because, once it's marked as "read," it'll stay put until you do something with it. However, most people don't find it easy to take positive action from long lists of e-mails; we work better from to-do lists, with items prioritized, organized by due date, and, most importantly, crossed off when completed. This is the hardest but most important of all the RAFT principles: Turn that stagnant message into an action item. For example, if the e-mail notifies you of a deadline on a file, enter the task in your calendaring or case management system. E-mail confirmation of a lunch date becomes an appointment. Once the information you need is harvested, delete the original e-mail unless the message must become part of a client record, for example.
File. When you do need to hang on to an e-mail message, employ a method that lets you "file and forget." If the e-mail is related to a matter in your office, you should have a way to file it with the matter so you can easily retrieve it when necessary. If the content will be part of your knowledge base-for example, a listserv message that gives suggestions on attacking a legal problem in your field-you must be able to file it so you can use a number of search terms and intuitive scanning to retrieve it.
Many people use an elaborate system of e-mail subfolders to store messages. However, many e-mail products just don't do well with thousands of messages hanging around. Outlook, for example, suffers serious stability and speed problems if the file format that stores all Outlook data in one big file gets larger than 500MB-it will quite literally explode if it gets to 2GB.
When your e-mails are isolated in a database or file system separate from the rest of your client-related work product or personal or firm-wide knowledge base, it gets harder to find information you're looking for. The ideal system files your e-mail along with your other client data and work production in such a manner that you can globally search through all this material at once.
Trash. Once you've exhausted the other three possibilities, it's time to throw it away. Honest. "Delete" is not a dirty word!
What's the Difference?
The vast majority of e-mail users operate through one of three main levels of programs:
1. Stand-alone e-mail systems such as Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Communicator-they do e-mail and nothing else.
2. Products in which e-mail is processed alongside calendar information, tasks, and other data records. These are often called Personal Information Managers (PIMs); Outlook is the prime example.
3. Case management products, the top echelon of software for the law office, that process e-mail in the same database as matter-centric case information: appointments, tasks, notes, research, documents, phone records, snail mail records, and the like. Using e-mail inside a case management system takes your e-mail productivity to the next level.
Because relatively few lawyers have yet to implement the wonders of case management software, this article concentrates on the first two levels, the ones most people currently use. As a user moves up (in this case, the lowest level is 1), fulfilling the RAFT objectives becomes steadily easier because e-mail becomes more and more integrated with the other types of information essential to your practice-appointments, tasks, contacts, documents, research, and so on.
Stand-Alone Programs
Stand-alone e-mail systems can be more stable and easier to use than more integrated ones. Some people prefer not to combine personal e-mail into case management systems; instead, they choose to read their e-mail in a separate stand-alone program and move relevant pieces to their case management system later. Either way, if you're using Eudora, Outlook Express, or Netscape Communicator, you'll have to do a little more conscious work to employ RAFT principles than users of more integrated systems.
ã Refer. Just use the Forward button. What doesn't happen automatically, however, is tracking the delegation process, which can be done in a few extra steps with your PIM or case management program. As soon as you've delegated the item by forwarding it, create a new Task that will remind you to follow up the matter on a particular date.
Act. Again, you must look outside to turn the e-mail into an action item. For example, an e-mail that sets up a lunch appointment would require you to open your calendaring program and create a new appointment there. It's easier to allow mail to pile up when you have to switch to a different application, type the information you require, and/or cut and paste between the various data fields in the two applications.
File. First you have to get the message out of the program. I know, you're thinking about your incredibly elaborate subfolder system and wondering why you shouldn't just leave it there. Remember that e-mail is going to be isolated from the rest of your client work product: letters, briefs, scanned documents, and notes. Performing thorough searches for disparate elements is more challenging when they're stored in different places. In addition, creating a complete archival record is much easier when one folder contains the whole case file and can be pulled from the hard drive and stored on a CD-ROM. If you have to find all of the relevant e-mails in your subfolders and export them at a later date, you may be setting yourself up for another successful period of procrastination.
Each e-mail system has the ability to save an individual e-mail message as a text file. The .txt file format has the advantage of having been around for a very long time in the computing world. It's simple to do and can be read by a multitude of different programs, including the built-in Notepad program in Windows and all word processors. For posterity's sake, plain .txt files are thought to have more of an edge on future readability than archiving in more proprietary formats. Other file format choices are to save the mail as a word processing document (.doc or .wpd), a web page (.html), or in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf). The key is to File and Forget, which makes the next process even more essential.
Trash. Get rid of messages as soon as you convert them into action items. One way to make this process easier is to automate it by setting up macros triggered by either a mouse click or a combination of keystrokes. If you're worried that you missed that all-important programming course during law school, don't fret. Several excellent software packages make this an easy process (see "Shortcuts" on page 22).
You can create a macro that will save the active e-mail message as a text file and automatically fill in part of the new file name if you wish, await your input, and then delete the original message for you. When you deal with a high volume of messages, the ability to save even a few keystrokes will make you that much faster and, more importantly, that much more likely to deal with e-mail as it arrives in your Inbox, rather than weeks or months after the fact.
Second-Level Systems
This is where Outlook comes in. Far and away the most popular e-mail program available, Outlook has a distinct advantage over the stand-alones, including its much less powerful kin, Outlook Express.
Outlook treats e-mail messages in the same way stand-alones do-downloads the message; parses out which part is the subject line, the message body, the attachment information, etc.; and presents each message as a data record in the Inbox. Understanding this is crucial because Outlook handles several types of data records other than e-mail messages: calendar items, tasks, notes, even journal entries. These data records share many fields in common: subject, date, category, and body are just a few examples.
This complex automated structure makes Outlook a powerful ally when you're RAFTing, as the following examples illustrate.
Refer a task when you're forwarding a message and automatically create a reminder to follow up. From the Sent Items folder, select the e-mail in which you delegated a task. Click on the message, drag it to the Outlook Bar (the navigation panel on the left of the Outlook window), and drop it on the Task icon. A new Task will automatically be created for the e-mail message that will share the same subject line as the original e-mail (thanks to Outlook's data inheritance functionality, hereinafter referred to as the Coolest Thing) (see below and "The Coolest Thing" on page 23). If you assigned the e-mail to a category like "Jones v. Smith 00-01," that will also transfer. Simply change the end date to when you'd like to follow up, and you're ready to go.
ã Act on an appointment or message by using that Coolest Thing technique. If you receive an e-mail scheduling a meeting or due date, simply drag and drop that message into the time slot on the appropriate day, add a little information, and you've quickly created an appointment-complete with the pertinent e-mail in the body of the appointment.
How many times has a message sat your Inbox simply because you didn't get around to adding the sender to your contact list? Act on that message by clicking either on the message in the folder list or on the opened message, and press the magic shortcut keys (Ctrl + Alt + C) to create a new Contact. This is another instance of the Coolest Thing in action, where the name and e-mail address fields are automatically transferred from the original e-mail. Numerous other possibilities are limited only by what might actually be useful for you and your practice.
Of course, once you've created an action item, you need either to File the original e-mail (for record keeping) or to Trash it.
If you use your e-mail RAFT diligently, you'll find that managing e-mail will turn that an ocean of stress into a highly productive action center.
Are you tired of executing the same keystrokes or mouse movements over and over? Is it time for you to automate your daily chores? Here are two popular programs that can help.
True to its name, ActiveWords converts "words" that you type on the keyboard into actions. A keystroke combination can launch a website, create and address e-mail messages, open files, substitute text, perform Windows shortcuts, and execute scripts and other programs. Available from www.activewords.com; $29.95/user for a one-year license term; 60-day trial.
Macro Magic
Iolo's Macro Magic can perform the same actions as ActiveWords, but you can launch the macros you've designed using not only keystrokes but also shortcuts that can be placed and copied anywhere in your Windows desktop. Available from www.iolo.com; $39.95/user, $149.95 for up to five users; 30-day trial.
Everyone calls this the Coolest Thing they've ever learned about Outlook.
When you click on any Outlook data record (e.g., an e-mail) and drag and drop it into a different icon on the Outlook bar (e.g., calendar or task), you automatically create a new data record with many fields already filled in from the first record. Use the Coolest Thing to quickly turn e-mails into events, tasks into notes, or whatever other transformations you require.

Hmm... dunno, personally I'm saddened by the fact KEY decided to devolve into an eroge company again, one would suppose that they were past that stage, but it'd seems the consumers weren't. I hope someone eventually gets out a patch for foregoing those scenes in the near future after the release.

The problem is basically how the market is designed: I don't exactly think it is possible for any company, be it Key, Alicesoft, Yuzusoft etc to survive without releasing eroge (except if you are like TYPE-MOON, milking horribly the same franchises for years).
Until things are as outstanding as Clannad or Air/kanon (as the last 2 definitely work well without the ero scenes), Key cannot afford releasing "soft" VN until they have special project (see Rewrite, as despite without any detail, chances it won't be an eroge are high. of course it is a speculation nevertherless).
I'm pretty sure there is some way to make a living with regular VN, but why would a company live on the hard way? The profit is required and it doesn't seem it is anything politically more challenging to add ero scenes so...^^"
As far as I understand your opinion, I do feel that "eroge" label doesn't "ternish" much a game as long as it is really solely on the plot and not some "PORN WITH PLOT" trend.
Even if it is badly written (who said Nasu? *cough*), I think they are rather easy to overlook (especially for CTRL key lovers )

Maybe I should explain myself a little more so as to show why I don't really think the ctrl key is a solution. Certainly there is the case were the sex scenes are just tossed in a work in order to cater a certain market segment, as it has been the case with nasu's works and some of key's early games, however there is another fundamental problem apart from this one. From my POV, it'd seem both like the game producers are looking down on its audience and that they look down on their own game by thinking it won't sell well without ero scenes. LB was already more or less an all-ages game. It was because the game sales didn't meet their expectations that KEY chose the easy way out by tossing in some ero scenes (it is still up to the air whether they will be well woven into the story, however given KEY past work they will have to polish up their skills) to catter to the otaku ero lovers and to boost up their sales. *NOT* that this is a bad thing per se (a company is out there to make money, and if a certain strategy does the trick then why not?) but from an artistic point of view this is deplorable, and from a personal POV I feel insulted and disillusioned.
So what was the trick with CLANNAD? That both the implied sex was already there, and as such an integral and beautifully woven part of the story, and that it wasn't used either as a market device for boosting the sales, but as a plot element. it was thought from the start as part of the story, not as an afterthought. If it is a device that could easily be added into the story without it having any further repercussions on the overall plot its because it's something completely unnecessary from the POV of the work flow.

Humm... It is quite difficult to really consider if "doing so will be enough for these Otaku".
Considering the information given for EX, I believe that the marketing ploy is more difficult than what it seems to be.
If using the erotic side would be enough, I think Key wouldn't bother with the retcon of many girls scenarios. They show they are aware that several original scenarios were really lacklusters. IMHO, I think that if it was just a dumb stance for "resolving about that for these pitiful fans", they would barely do anything and just adding these "non get-able girls" etc.
I think it is actually a more difficult way, as they have to make the scenes having some "sense" and timing (mind you, they sure can drop random ero scene just like Utawarerumono *COUGH*). If they were doing some spin off such like Tomoyo After for Clannad, it would be far more noticeable.
To me, I believe that a remake of a game is anything but profitable, as there are much more risks than doing a sequel/spin off.
That is to say, we need to see the content and "updates", but if it is like Tomoyo After, I don't think Key lost their "touch" there, even if their stories don't really need these ero scenes (especially Kanon and Air).

Well, you have point there. As I said, whether this will all be a marketing ploy in the end or if its a real effort from KEY to close the LB project with a nice wrap and all is still up in the air. From my experience adding alien plot elements halfway is generally not a good idea (however several of the new elements in Ectsasy are something worthy looking forward to), but who knows, KEY may surprise us in the end.

generally H scenes in itself don't add or detract anything from the story, so i don't really see the problem here. Fighting over labels (eroge or non-eroge) doesn't really change the quality of the story in any noteworthy manner, nor has Key become a worse company by adding a few of those.
Saying that Key has "degraded" to eroge company carries a bit of prejudice, and is actually not very correct, seeing that Key has never ceased to be an eroge company to begin with. While Clannad was 18+ material free, Tomoyo After most certainly wasn't. (nor was Air and Kanon ... Planetarian is a bit different kettle of fish).
And if it actually helps them sell more of the games and get a bigger paycheck - all the better! Thay make a living from their job, and these games are produced with the intent of earning profit and means we will be seeing more stuff from them
Of course there are people who might want it solely for the fanservice reasons, but that isn't necessarily "bad" either. Market. Demand. Supply. Now this is just my personal opinion, but i think making such an argument involves more looking down on others than Key producing said material for whatever reasons they deemed appropriate
Or to basically sum my thoughts on the subject of H scenes up: what's the big deal anyway

Well, you are almost paraphrasing what I said though. I specified that the offensive part was on a personal level. That the ero ploy was efficient and almost desirable on a marketing POV, but that from an artistic POV it added nothing to the story, and that from previous experiences it was not well woven in the story, but just used as a sales boost.
On a best case scenario what you mentioned will happen: it will be a moot point that will add nothing, yet detract nothing from the story and it will remain all the same. It is regrettable for people like me who like well written and minimalistic stories, but it isn't bad per se like you described.
However that is just a best case scenario. Most of the times when this scenes are used as a marketing ploy it detracts from the story, cuts the flow and cheapens the characters. (Utawarerumono, Tsukihime, KEY previous works, <enter a random eroge game here with a 70% chance of success>. It ends up exactly being what I described in the first post: Something that lowers the value of the overall work.
How is this all related to LB? The fact that the ero scenes seem to be added like an afterthought makes me have my doubts about how integral they will be to the actual plot. Again, maybe I'm just being paranoid based on my previous experiences, however I certainly am wary of this particular aspect of the remake.

Edit: To add something, the only thing closest to perhaps what you want, Leo Otaku, in Little Busters would perhaps be Midori and Kengo, but it's complicated. And like I said, it is the closest thing in there. That or I need another run through in the game.

Planned Parenthood to play role in NH's insurance exchangeBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
August 15. 2013 10:19PM
CONCORD — Planned Parenthood of Northern New England is one of two organizations the federal Health and Human Services agency selected to be "navigators" for the state's health insurance exchange, which begins operation Oct. 1.
The selection of Planned Parenthood for a $145,161 grant did not sit well with at least one organization, the conservative advocacy group Cornerstone Action.
"It is a shame that these federal dollars will be going to Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. As an abortion service provider, federal dollars and public funds should not be granted to this organization," said Cornerstone Action Executive Director Ashley Pratte. "With Planned Parenthood expected to launch its own Obamacare awareness campaign, we can only hope that it will create a discussion around how this money is being used and what services will be promoted with it."
Planned Parenthood said in a statement it will provide in-person health assistance and outreach to thousands of state residents under the grant.
Last year, PPNNE served nearly 16,000 patients in six health centers located in Claremont, Derry, Exeter, Keene, Manchester and West Lebanon, the statement said, and is a trusted provider.
"PPNNE looks forward to working in partnership with the state in moving health care reform forward and increasing access to quality health care," the statement said.
The federal agency also selected Bi-State Primary Care Association to help consumers on the exchange compare plans and determine eligibility for federal subsidies or Medicaid.
The organizations are to assist citizens shopping for and enrolling in health insurance plans in the electronic marketplaces required under the Affordable Care Act. Bi-State Primary Care Association, a charitable organization representing 12 health centers and one rural health network, will receive a grant of $434,839.
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England will primarily serve individuals in Hillsborough, Rockingham, Grafton, Cheshire and Sullivan counties, while Bi-State will serve eight counties in the state.
The exchanges will open Oct. 1, and insurance coverage will begin Jan. 1 under the ACA.
The navigators are separate from a state education and outreach plan developed by the state Insurance Department.
The plan was never approved by a legislative health reform oversight committee and the $5.4 million federal grant for the project was never included in the state budget.
While Republican lawmakers blocked the grant by refusing to add the money to the Insurance Department's budget, the agency's commissioner, Roger Sevigny, announced earlier this month that a quasi-governmental group, New Hampshire Health Plan, would apply for the grant and use it for outreach and consumer assistance at the state level.
The group manages the state's high-risk health insurance pool for individuals who are unable to obtain coverage from private insurers.
Republicans called the move an end run around state law and asked for an investigation.
Last year's Legislature prohibited the state from running its own exchange and instead left it to the federal government to operate the electronic marketplace for New Hampshire.
Only one carrier — Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield — has been approved to offer plans on the state's exchange.
Delta Dental has been approved to offer dental insurance.

Travel to Africa and experience the Serengeti, Kilimanjaro & Zanzibar
Travel to Africa and experience some of Kenya and Tanzania's most famous natural wonders on this Active trip for those with a passion for the outdoors. The vast Serengeti plains evoke a sense of wonder and deep respect for the animal kingdom, while the imposing peaks of Mt Kilimanjaro inspire awe and rouse a spirit of adventure. Safari through the savanna in search of stealthy predators and try to spot other game in the gigantic Ngorongoro Crater. Rise to the challenge and conquer Africa's highest peak on a difficult trek to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro. Cap it all of on the shore of the Zanzibar coast.
Shop for local wares and interact with townsfolk at the Mwigobero Market on the edge of Lake Victoria
Explore the Serengeti National Park in depth, with two early-morning and two late-afternoon game drives through this spectacular wildlife arena
Take a mind-blowing safari across the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater in an open-roof 4X4 for a chance to see the endangered black rhinoceros
Taking the Marangu route to climb the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro allows you to stay in the comfort of huts
Travelling with experienced guides and porters, you'll be in good hands, with one guide for every two passengers
End your trip on the northern beaches of Zanzibar, where white sands and sparkling blue seas await
We are an official partner of IMEC's Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP). This means all of our climbs have been assessed and scored based on a number of criteria, all of which are designed to ensure the proper treatment of porters on the Mountain. Read more here: https://www.intrepidtravel.com/au/theme/walking/kilimanjaro-trek
Camping in the Serengeti National Park with no barriers between you and the animals is amazing, but it's important to heed the safety advice of your leader. You'll be briefed on arrival.
Our purpose-built overland vehicles allow for excellent game viewing, equipped with large sliding windows. They have no air-conditioning, however, so they can get dusty and hot at times.
The going can be slow over the long distances and often bumpy roads. A little bit of patience will go a long way towards your enjoyment of this beautiful land!
A portion of this trip involves participatory camping, so team spirit is key. You'll be expected to help out with camp setup, food preparation and cleaning
You'll need a good level of fitness for this trip. The distances may not be long, but the altitude makes it much harder than your average uphill hike. The going will be slow as your body adjusts.
Tried and tested all-purpose hiking equipment is required. Temperatures at night can get very low when you're above 3,500 metres, so warm clothing and a sleeping bag are essential. You can hire this equipment if need be.
Your safety comes first. Our experienced guides will monitor each passenger for any signs of acute mountain sickness. If you show any signs, you'll descend immediately with a guide.
Hiking for several days without a shower can be tough – be prepared for some dust and dirt. A mask, wet wipes and face washer will be very handy.
The huts along this route sleep between 4 and 12 passengers and will be mixed-gender.
Some passengers on this trip will have been travelling together prior to the start of your trip.
As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.
1. This is a combination trip. Therefore the composition of your trip may change in Marangu.
2. A single supplement is available on this trip. Please speak to your booking agent for further information. The supplement does not apply to nights 9-12.
3. The cabins on the climb will be 4-12 person share.
4. A Passenger Self Assessment Form required for this trip.
5. Parts of your trip go above 2800 metres / 9200 feet where it is common for travellers to experience some adverse health effects due to the altitude.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 17, 2009) - Head East Tennessee State University softball coach Andrea Mangrum put the finishing touches on her 2009-10 Lady Buccaneer squad on Friday, as she added former Virginia Tech standout Callie Rhodes (Broadway, Va.) to her coaching staff.
Rhodes, who was a four-year letterwinner at Virginia Tech, graduated as the Hokies' all-time leader in career and single-season stolen bases. Currently,
"The hire of Callie is another step towards a championship season for our program," said Mangrum.

Not only did
"I am most pleased with her character and reputation as a player, because she fits the mold of the foundations of our program," commented Mangrum. "To me, this is more important than knowledge and experience."

Talking with 4mm's Nicholas Perrett, IGN has some details on what users can expect from the game:
Perrett says the key to Def Jam Rapstar for 4mm is to allow players to interact with the game even when they're away from their console. He gave some insight into what it's like to make something like Def Jam Rapstar. "It's a hard game to get right. And I think part of the reason 4mm didn't go it alone and make a hip-hop game, is because we realized that. For us, to me, Def Jam means hip-hop.Platforms and specific song lists are not yet known, but there's a chance that E3 will uncover more information.
And I think it goes right to the core of why we're in partnership with Def Jam, why hasn't anyone made this game yet, all comes back to it's difficult because there's only a few people who could probably pull it off."
Bryn says: The teaser video above made me laugh. There's something quite amusing about a gamer wearing black thick-rimmed glasses singing hip-hop karaoke songs. I wonder what Snoop Dogg would have to say about Def Jam Rapstar?
While it's definitely not my cup of tea I do think that there's a market for a hip-hop game like this. The Def Jam license has some clout, so let's see where this one goes.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Carnival parades managed to roll Sunday in New Orleans despite bad weather, but revelers might not be so lucky on Monday.
Parades planned for Fat Monday, or Lundi Gras (LUHN-dee grah), are threatened by more rain in the forecast.
That includes the Krewe of Orpheus, the star-studded group led by entertainer Harry Connick Jr. It was scheduled to roll at 6 p.m. Monday, with Connick, actor Gary Sinise and New Orleans musician Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews.
And Fat Tuesday could be a wet one: The National Weather Service expects rain for much of the day, when as many as 1 million people party in the streets.
Carnival season culminates Tuesday with the Rex and Zulu parades. So far, they haven't been canceled.

On January 21, President Barack Obama became the seventeenth president to be inaugurated to a second term, joining the elite club of two-term presidents, which includes the likes of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan. In sharp contrast to this, Joe Biden became the twelfth man inaugurated to a second term as vice president. He joins a less elite coterie, the ranks of Daniel Tompkins, Thomas Riley Marshall, John Nance Garner, and Spiro Agnew.
The vice presidency is a very peculiar office. John Adams, the nation's first vice president, called the office "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived of his imagination conceived." The only official duties of the vice president are to assume the office of the president in the event the president becomes incapacitated or dies, and to serve as president of the U.S. Senate. In that capacity, the vice president can preside over the U.S. Senate. However, the VP rarely presides over the Senate, delegating that duty to the Senate president pro tempore. He does, however, attend sessions wherein his vote would break a tie.
Over the past two centuries, the nation has had some very colorful vice presidents. One such vice president was Daniel D. Tompkins (1817-1825). Tompkins suffered from alcoholism which was thought to be the result of a decade-long struggle to get the U.S. Congress to reimburse him for money he used from his personal account to fund his state's militia while he was governor of New York (he would often preside over the Senate drunk). Then there was Richard M. Johnson (1837-1841). Faced with financial turmoil, Johnson took a leave of absence from the vice presidency to open a tavern and spa.
In 2008 Barack Obama chose Joe Biden as his running mate to appeal to middle-class and blue-collar voters. Biden is the product of a middle-class upbringing and his orations often strike a resonant chord with middle- and working-class voters. Biden was also selected for his foreign policy prowess, having chaired the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
As vice president, Biden has been a loyal foot-soldier for Obama. He has been an ideological compatriot, fully supporting the administration's agenda.
While it is considered commonplace today for the president and vice president to have a harmonious relationship, and see eye-to-eye on most major issues, this was not always the case. Charles Fairbanks for example was nominated as vice president in 1904 to complement Theodore Roosevelt. Fairbanks was an old guard conservative while Roosevelt hailed from the progressive bloodline of the Republican Party. Fairbanks opposed much of Roosevelt's domestic agenda, which was known as "The Square Deal." When Fairbanks sought the Republican presidential nomination to succeed Roosevelt in 1908, Roosevelt gave his coveted endorsement to his Secretary of War, William Howard Taft, who eventual won the Republican nomination.
President Calvin Coolidge and Vice President Charles G. Dawes also had an antagonistic relationship. It began in 1925 when both Coolidge and Dawes were inaugurated. At that time in history both the president and vice president gave inaugural addresses on the same day. Dawes's inaugural address took the form of a fiery and controversial lecture about the fecklessness of the U.S. Senate rules. The press gave Dawes's inaugural diatribe almost as much coverage as Coolidge's inaugural address. Dawes added to the tension by sending the president a letter stating that he would not be attending Cabinet meetings.
Vice President John Nance Garner (1933-1941), who served with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was a business-oriented Democrat from rural Texas. Garner came to think that Roosevelt had veered too far to the left ideologically. He even called his domestic programs "foolishness." Vice President Garner sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1940, only to be resoundingly defeated by Roosevelt, and in turn, Roosevelt selected a new vice presidential running mate, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace.
Newly reelected Vice President Joe Biden has hinted that he is likely to seek the Democratic Party nomination for the presidency in 2016. However, unlike recent Vice Presidents George H.W. Bush and Al Gore, Biden is not the favorite of rank-and-file Democrats, nor is he the favorite of the party's high command to succeed Obama. While it is true that most Democrats view Biden favorably, polls show U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be the overwhelming frontrunner, despite the fact that Biden has formidable favorability numbers (over 70 percent).
It is of particular interest to note that there is a striking similitude between Joe Biden and Alben Barkley, the vice president under Harry S. Truman. Like Biden, Barkley was a long-time U.S. senator and loyal polemicist for the Democratic Party's ideology. Barkley, like Biden, came from a humble background, and like Biden, was known for his oratorical prowess. Barkley had represented Kentucky in the U.S. Senate for twenty-two years, rising to the position of Senate majority leader. Like Biden, Democrats viewed Barkley favorably. In fact, he delivered the keynote address at the party's national convention on three separate occasions. In 1952, at age seventy-five, Barkley sought his party's nomination to succeed President Truman, but was unable to translate his loyal service to the Democratic Party into frontrunner status. Barkley ran a redoubtable campaign, securing endorsements from prominent members of the Democratic establishment, but suffered an immutable blow when prominent labor leaders claimed that he was too old to be president. Barkley was not able to salvage his candidacy and came in fourth place at the Democratic convention.
Biden will likely barnstorm the nation campaigning for Democratic candidates in the 2014 mid-term elections, collecting chits and showing the Democratic Party that he has the vigor and stamina to be their nominee. He will not be alone, as a cavalcade of prospective Democratic presidential candidates will likely join him on the hustings.

Breast development is without question an exciting part of transition. I feel fairly comfortable saying that most trans women look forward to having their own real breasts but need to stress (as I try to always do) the need to have realistic expectations. Alos, it is perfectly acceptable to NOT undergo HRT or surgery. These things do not make anyone more "real", they are cosmetic changes that can help people feel for comfortable in their bodies. I think this is an important distinction. For the first year of my transition I was not sure if I wanted to undergo HRT so I purchased a great pair of prosthetic breast forms for when I dressed. They worked great!
Hormone Replacement Therapy and Breast Development for Trans Women
Besides the actual physical size of the breast, perception must be taken into consideration as well. The fact that the rib cage for the average anatomical male after puberty is bigger then it is for females means if you visually compare the two people with similar height, weight and bra size; one cissexual and one transsexual, the cissexual woman's breasts will generally appear larger. Also remember breast size in cissexual women varies greatly and not all cis woman have large breasts. I have small breasts and well... I like them.
I have also written a few posts about hormone therapy and the risks associated with it as well. PLEASE READ THESE! I get a lot of questions and comments about self medicating and I tell my readers over and over not to. These medications are dangerous!
Some other things I want to point out and stress:
- Breast development takes time. Hormone therapy induces puberty and just like with cissexual women puberty is a process that takes years, not months. It is certainly not something that happens over night.
- Taking more estrogen than is proscribed will not speed up the process. This is VERY DANGEROUS! You will need your blood work checked for possible problems. Like I said, I have written am entire article about the risks associated with HRT but a few of the major ones include: blood clots, prolactinoma (tumor of the pituitary gland), and possible increased risk of heart attack and stroke. There are also major risks with taking Spironolactone as it is a diuretic. Bottom line, talk to your doctor.
- Most women have uneven breast development, it is normal. Also, your breasts may not develop at the same rate. While this unevenness is usually not drastic it can be noticeable. For me my left breast is probably a full cup size bigger than my right. Expect it and don't freak out.
- HRT does not only effect breast growth!
Lastly, you can't just put on a shirt and hide these things... Remember, HRT causes irreversible full body changes, not simply breast growth. If you still think this is right for you I will offer the same advice I offer everyone, please talk to your doctor.
BreastformsI have an article dedicated to breastform but for this article I will just say they are a safe option for many people who either do not want or cannot go through HRT or surgery. I had a great pair when I was first transitioning. Read more about them here or go ahead and start looking for a pair now.
Breast Augmentation SurgeryOnce development slows or stops some people may still desire breast augmentation surgery. The thing to know about this is that it is generally a good idea to put off any augmentation surgery until after hormone induced breast development is completed. There are quite a few reasons for this but here are the most important:
- Breast development happens in spurts over a course of years! Give them a chance to grow.
- Breast development does not happen evenly... One breast may seem way smaller and but given time, it probably will catch up. Note that uneven breast size is normal, even in cissexual women.
- Breasts implants look best and most realistic when they are placed behind existing breast tissue.
- If augmentation is preformed before breast development is finished and you have additional breast growth after surgery, you run the risk of very unnatural or even deformed looking breasts.
Have you had surgery? If so I would love for you to tell us about your results and experience below in the comments:

Product Reviews
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2007 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 10, 2007
There's just no way to fault people for liking the idea of a warm floor beneath their feet on a chilly winter day; radiant floor heating can be a pleasant thing. And for those who suffer in badly designed, poorly executed, leaky, underinsulated houses with aged forced-air systems that noisily blast out uncomfortably hot air for a seeming eternity before cycling off—and then leave everybody to get cold waiting for the furnace to kick on again—the even heat of a radiant floor system has a special appeal.
