LostinLove007ParticipantJune 3, 2018 at 6:31 pm #176010
So my Ex and I broke up in 2016. He Broke Up With Me. Long story short, I live with my mom and I have strict rules and we really couldn't date he didn't want me to get in trouble. We had been dating 2 years, we made it work. (Cried got over It) We were the best friend couple more than boyfriend and girlfriend we were good friends. So we started talking a few weeks ago and its like we haven't lost communication we laugh, we talk, and straight chill. Only thing is one time we were having a rough patch in our relationship and he had phone sex with his ex, I was angry and I forgave him. However, should we reconnect. I am confused. Talking to him again its like I kept a place in my heart for him. Should I throw those feelings out.
We have been talking over a month and he said he still feels love for me
RSTheGuyParticipantJune 6, 2018 at 11:22 pm #176421
The only reason you should get back with him is if you love him. If you loved him then, maybe giving him a second chance is a good thing. It's up to you to judge if he's changed or not; two years is a long time when you're young (I assume you're young) and people mature.
Aka AkumaParticipantJune 7, 2018 at 3:21 pm #176503
I typically won't give advice to women because I am a man and we vastly different, but you have a common question. NO! do not go back to an "ex." They are ex's for a reason and these reasons only poison any future that you may have. You may not know the reason, making it even more sinister. Move on and date one of the BILLIONS OF MEN that are out there. The odds of you meeting hundreds of guys who are better suited for you and a long term relationship are astronomically high. Don't try beat a dead horse relationship. You are not married with children and tied up $$$. So move on to a fresh start with someone who is better.
FirasParticipantJune 9, 2018 at 3:52 pm #176620
Well my advice would be
Figure out what u want from him
figure out is he true to you
Dont let the phone sex thing block you from everything
its is all up to u can u handle him or is it enough ?
best wishes for you
dashingscorpioParticipantJune 9, 2018 at 9:39 pm #176624
There are only two reasons why exes should ever consider getting back together.
1. One or both individuals have changed significantly during their time apart.
2. Circumstances have changed.
You said: "He Broke Up With Me. Long story short, {I live with my mom and I have strict rules and we really couldn't date {he didn't want me to get in trouble.}" So what has changed??? Sounds to me as if you get back together (you're going to be dealing with the same old issues).
That's like going to see a movie for the second time and expecting it to have a different ending.

|Centurion's idea of a Pictish horse warrior -my review
So I was recently inspired by a call for submissions to write an article on what the reality of the term is today. Now, I'm not one who usually considers activism to be a major part of the warrior path, if you've read this you know I do believe it's about being ready for physical fights first. However, "horse warrior" is a term that has been used in the anti-horse-slaughter world for at least two decades and I'm going to stick to it. It fits that animals whose ancestors who fought with us and for us for so long,and still some do in various ways, gets to have people fighting for their lives.
As someone dedicated to a War Goddess who is also associated with horses, it's become an important part of what I do, both activism and taking care of them for Her. It's a major part of my spiritual practice, in fact, and at least in spirit is tied to the warrior part. Sure, I have fantasies of what it might be like to ride a true war horse. Someday I might even do some sort of reenactment games with my mare just for the fun of it....although I might be more inclined to Mounted Cowboy Shooting than to the SCA sort of thing (although the SCA stuff is closer to home, I haven't found a sign of mounted shooting around here). But that's just play.
As I note in the article, if Saorsa, my mare, ever becomes a bit more sociable in dealing with strangers, we might see about getting into a more realistic role of Search and Rescue. Right now she's likely to want to eat anyone she fines, although she does love looking for us and I think that her curiosity would probably make her a potential for a scent horse rather than just a horse I ride while I search.
The publication didn't happen (this is a different anthology than the one I've mentioned before which I have submitted a much larger article to) and I was left with this article that combines my story with Macha calling me back to take care of horses so I decided to throw it up on Shadow of the Hooded Crow so please go to the link below:

A Womanly 'Suited Up' Meghan Markle: Getting That Rachel Zane Stunning Look
- by Amy-Louise Tracey
- posted at 5:28 pm
- August 6, 2013
Rachel Zane had got us all glued to SUITS, even since her first appearance in the pilot episode. Played by Meghan Markle, the brunette beauty has flawlessly flaunted her looks, either with or without makeup. If you've been envious of her 'hundred dollar' hair since the first episode, you're in luck, as we are going to provide you a detailed view into how Rachel Zane manages to get that stunning corporate look.
It's All About the Hair and the Eyes
You don't need to spend a fortune to get the Rachel Zane look, and if you want to achieve her style and brunette vibe, fashion and make up experts can transform you from a plain and simple Jane to a hot and feisty femme fatale like her. Apart from acquiring her stunning tresses, it's best to click here and choose the right accessories to help you achieve that "Zane" fashion statement.
Meghan Markle also shared some of her quick eye makeup tips and tricks right below:
1. Lightly apply a nude matte tone matched to your own skin. You may use Caleche (or for those with fairer skin, you may apply Sandollar) and dab it on the entire eyelid.
2. Using a brush, apply a glistening, warm skin tone eyeshadow like from Boudoir and spread it to the lower half of the eyelid; starting from lashline to crease. Remember to smear it all the way in toward the tear duct.
3. Sweep a pure, red-based brown eyeshadow using an eyeshadow brush. Brush it gently.
4. Select a darker smokey tone eyeshadow. Smear this to the outer corner part of the eyelids. Daub it completely as to overlap the other colors you've applied. This would give a pretty smoky effect.You can do this also with a dry brush.
You can watch this youtube video for more makeup application details.

Dragon-Marked War God - Chapter 1707
The Absorption of the Heavenly Tribulation
"Ah…" "Ah…" "Ah…"
Shrills filled the entire sky. Under countless of gazes, the four early Immortal Venerables were incinerated within seconds. Under the formidable heavenly might, they weren't able to put up any resistance despite their strength. There was only death if one was wrapped around by the lighting.
"It's crazy! He's really insane!"
"That's too brutal. All of them are powerful Immortal Venables but they died just like that."
"The heavenly might is just too great, absolutely inviolable. I wonder how Jiang Chen became so heaven-defying. Apart from not fearing the heavenly tribulation, he is even leading the tribulation to those Immortal Venerables. Such a method is truly brutal."
Everyone was startled. The scene had completely overturned their imagination and perception. In their point of view, Immortal Venerable was unparalleled, high and mighty and all-powerful existence that stood on the top of the pyramid, but now, each of them was dying successively, and these deaths were caused by a mere Immortal Emperor youth.
After killing the Immortal Venerables, Jiang Chen went wild, rushing into the group of Immortal Venerables. His speed was too fast for them to react.
He broken into the camp of five or six Immortal Venerables and struck out the True Dragon Palm, grabbing one with his left arm and the other with his right. Those Immortal Venerables were struck to death by the lightning before they had the chance to escape.
In just a matter of a few blinks, more than ten Immortal Venerables had died in Jiang Chen's hands, including Old Man Corpse Yin. It was too scary, and had deeply alarmed everyone.
Amongst the enemy forces, there were a few late Immortal Venerables with 'old-ancestor' status. They had come here to ensure that Jiang Chen had no chance of escaping, and make sure that this huge threat was eliminated once and for all.
But now, even they seemed to be scared to death. They had lost all their courage as they would die as well if Jiang Chen led the tribulation to them.
"Run, quick! Let's leave this place. He's a mad man!"
Someone shouted. The Immortal Venerables began to regain their senses and ran away with their tail between their legs.
Jiang Chen laughed pleasantly. The sight of these bastards running away from him as though he was some sort of plague helped him vent all of his stifled emotions.
Numerous spectators were gaping at the spectacular scene.
"It would've been perfect if this scene was recorded. But even if it wasn't, Jiang Chen's confrontation of the heavenly tribulation will be added into the history of Immortal World. No one had ever done this in the history of the whole Immortal World. All the Immortal Venerables are now running like lost dogs."
Countless people sighed, not daring to believe their eyes, feeling as though it was just a dream.
Naturally, Jiang Chen had to pursue those fleeing Immortal Venerables as every one of them was a threat to him. And since the hostile relationship between them and Jiang Chen had already been confirmed, Jiang Chen would never be merciful when it comes to killing them, which was in line with the Dao of Slaughter.
Jiang Chen's speed was incredibly fast. Given his current strength and the Great Void Technique, no ordinary Immortal Venerables could outrun him.
*Hong Long……*
The fourth lightning plunged and struck Jiang Chen's body, however it was also unable to cause any harm to him. Those Immortal Venerables who were overtaken by Jiang Chen were very unlucky, however. They died instantly in the sea of lighting, completely obliterated.
A sword cry was heard. The Heavenly Saint Sword turned into a dragon, moving back and forth in the sea of lightning. It hadn't experienced the tribulation for a very long time. The force of lighting was the best way of tempering the sword.
Soon, all the Immortal Venerables had disappeared completely from the scene. Jiang Chen scanned around tyrannically, but instead of pursuing those experts, he shifted his focus on the heavenly tribulation. He had killed plenty of Immortal Venerables this time, including Old Man Corpse Yin. The only regret was that he wasn't able to kill Old Ancestor Yellow Spring, the one who destroyed the Fiery Golden Eyes of Dragon Shisan. He would never forget this score. It was only a matter of time before he takes Old Ancestor Yellow Spring's life.
Supposedly, he could still pursue those Immortal Venerables or even lead the tribulation to Nanbei Family, but he chose otherwise because it wasn't easy to encounter the heavenly tribulation. He had to think about his own interest. No matter how many Immortal Venerables he killed, he wouldn't be able to improve his strength. He was pretty clear that even if he killed all the Immortal Venerables that appeared today, he wouldn't be able to annihilate those major powers because there were even more powerful experts in their ranks.
Therefore, the most important thing was to improve his own strength.
The remaining five tribulations should be able to bring me two kinds of benefits. After absorbing the lightning energy from the tribulation lightning, my cultivation base will be able to break through to the intermediate Immortal Emperor realm, however the power of the tribulation would cause me to suffer some injuries, making me vulnerable for a period of time. At that time, those ancestor-level Immortal Venerables will once again attack me. I won't even have the chance to escape at that time so the benefit isn't worth it. The other benefit is that the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda could condense at least three levels after absorbing all the energy, reaching forty-fifth level.
Jiang Chen muttered. After a brief contemplation, he had decided to refine the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, although it would only slightly improve his cultivation base. Anyway, he had been advancing too quickly lately, and needed time to stabilize it. The Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, on the other hand, wasn't able to advance as quickly. The condensation of each level required immense energy. As such, this was a golden chance that he couldn't afford to miss.
*Hong Long……*
The heavenly tribulation was forming rapidly. Without delay, he opened the doors of the pagoda. Feeling the rolling thunder, the pagoda expressed its excitement. Its wide-open door was like a maw of an ancient beast, absorbing all the lightning energy as soon as the fifth lighting struck down.
The pagoda was very heaven-defying. Even Jiang Chen, who had been its owner for a long time, was still astonished by it. It seemed as though there was no energy in this world that the pagoda couldn't absorb, it could even absorb the energy of the heavenly tribulation. It seemed to be a little too much.
Moreover, Jiang Chen had been looking forward to the growth of the pagoda, but he hadn't dared to imagine how powerful it would be when it reached its pinnacle stage, the ninety-ninth level of the pagoda.

March 2011 shop news
Blog post written by Andy | 09 March 2011 | Category: In the shop
(2483 views)
Hey everybody!
It's great to see so much interest in my first post and thank you for all of your comments and ideas on what you want to see. I will take them all on board and try and work them into the next few posts.
A quick update on the shop! As a lot of you know, towards the end of January we expanded our shop to over twice its size! And boy have we packed it out!! A little disappointed that Gary wouldn't let me put in a pool table but I guess from a business point of view I can see his point! All of this extra space has really allowed us to expand our entire product range and stock a lot of new lines.
If doubling the size of the shop wasn't enough, we have kept our momentum going and opened our outdoor pond section! Having a dedicated outdoor space has given us the opportunity to stock a huge range of preformed ponds, plants, baskets, aquatic soil, pond liners.... I could keep going but we have more and more stock coming in every week so even I'm losing track.
The preformed ponds are proving really popular so we are looking to get even more in.... even bigger than our 1250 litre one! As the weather is slowly starting to warm up (yes I know it is apparently) we will be expanding our range of floating plants, lilies and marginals. We are in the lucky position of dealing with wholesalers who grow all their plants locally and, as with our aquarium fish, if there is something you are after specifically I will try and track it down for you.
Back in store I am in the process of setting up our first (of many!) show tanks. I have chosen a Jewell Rekord 800. It's a system I really like because it's an impressive size but really easy and more importantly quick to look after. As the weeks go by I will slowly be stocking it with fish so come in and tell me how you think I'm doing. By setting up this tank I hope to show how easy it is to keep a great looking fish tank that won't take up all of your time. Keeping a tropical fish tank should be enjoyable most importantly of all so I am happy to chat to you about any aspect of fish keeping and will offer advice where I can.
Well that's a brief update on just a few things happening at Weald Aquatics. I hope I have given you all something to think about and look forward to seeing you at the shop soon.
Well back to work...... these tanks aren't going to clean themselves!

This amount of mixture only made 6 cookies for us - we seemed to lose 2 with the amount of mixture stuck on our hands! They tasted lovely though, & my 3 old daughter had great fun making them. Next time I'll double the mixture & just spoon it on to a baking tray rather than using hands!

Kylie Jenner may be a social butterfly, but that doesn't mean the 17-year-old hasn't fulfilled the same education obligations as her peers. In fact, Kylie revealed that she recently became a high school graduate in the only way the reality star would -- on social media.
Remember that Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode several seasons ago when Kylie and Kendall begged their parents to let them be homeschooled? Well that wasn't just for show. Kylie has met all of her school requirements and can officially hang a framed diploma on her wall.
Oh AND.. I finished school last week.. & I know I never post on social media when I'm in class but that doesn't mean...— Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) July 21, 2015
I don't encourage education! Because I do! â�¤ï¸ï¿½ gooooodnight.— Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) July 21, 2015
Get it, girl!

Naysayers were spreading rumors Kylie had become a high school dropout, but the teen took to Snapchat in May to put those folks in their place.
I do school every weekday. Again, don't believe everything you read.
Think of all the time Kylie can now spend decorating that fabulous house she just moved into. Yes, I'm super jealous of her pad and not afraid to admit it.
It's nice to see the youngest Jenner address education, even if it's merely in an offhanded way on social media. Like it or not, Kylie has a ton of influence on her legion of followers and if she can even gently remind them that school is important, well, that's really all anyone can ask.

Only 2.1 million Singaporeans are can vote
This afternoon (2 February), the Prime Minister has ordered the registers of electors be revised and updated. This is a practice that has to be performed no later than 3 years after every general election — a requirement fulfilled when the registers were updated last year. Yet another sign that the elections are coming?
But here's the more interesting part.
When the registers were updated in March 2014, the number of voters eligible numbered at 2,411,188. The overall population last year was 5.47 million, with 3.34 million Singapore citizens, 0.53 million Permanent Residents, and 1.6 million non-residents.
Only citizens can vote, which means 3.34 million (Singapore citizens) – 2.41 million (eligible voters) = 0.93 million ineligible voters.
Singaporeans aged below 21 are automatically ineligible, and according to Singstat, they number 0.85 million in 2014. A little more math leaves us with about 80,000 Singaporeans who are above the age of 21, but are ineligible voters.
To make Singaporeans eligible
Eligible Singaporeans who do not vote at the end of an election are automatically struck off the list of eligible voters, and cannot vote or contest in future elections.
Ineligible voters are able to reinstate their voting eligibility either on the Elections Department Website, or at any Community Centre/Club. An explanation of why the individual did not vote is required, and a penalty of $50 is payable if the reason is deemed invalid or insufficient.
The register of electors has to be completed by 30 April this year.
You can expect an analysis of those elector numbers on MustShareNews as soon as we get them.

Washington, Jul 18 (IANS): The US House of Representatives has killed a resolution to impeach US President Donald Trump over his "racist" tweets against four Democratic lawmakers.
The House on Wednesday voted 332-95 to table the bill, signifying a deeply divided Democratic Party on whether to impeach Trump, especially after Trump fired racially charged tweets at progressive lawmakers that evoked outcry from both sides of the aisle, Xinhua reported.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to persuade fellow Democratic lawmakers that impeaching Trump was not the best strategy, but frustration against the Trump administration over immigration policies, obstruction of justice allegations and personal attacks on political opponents gave a sizable portion of House Democrats enough reason to rebel against party leadership and back impeachment proceedings.
Trump on Sunday told a group of four ethnic minority female lawmakers to "go back" to the "places from which they came," and later doubled down on his position in saying that the lawmakers "hate" the US.
The remarks received universal criticism from the Democratic Party, and many Republican lawmakers also said such statements were inappropriate.
The US House of Representatives voted Tuesday to condemn Trump for the remarks, with four Republican lawmakers joining the ranks of Democrats in supporting the bill.
According to the Pew Research Center, there are currently 52 voting members in the House and 16 members in the Senate who are immigrants or children of immigrants, most of them are Democrats.

The last 100 years has produced a greater change in the way we grow and distribute food than any of the preceding millennia. So it may be difficult for many to fully appreciate the impact or modern application of some of these biblical edicts laid out for us:
"Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight."
Proverbs 11:1. "Shall I acquit a man with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights?"
Micah 6:11
Today's regulated industry and standardized measurements may cause us to dismiss these verses as not really applicable to modern times. Human nature does not change, however. Recent documentaries exposing common practices within the industry are propelling consumers into a new age of awareness of the deception inherent in the food industry today.
Consumers are shocked t o know what manufacturers are using to enhance the appeal of a myriad of products such as orange juice, farmed salmon, bread, ice cream, candies, and even fresh fruits and vegetables. Manufacturers are using everything from the unappealing to the downright horrifying or harmful in their products and are counting on consumer ignorance; every effort for enhanced labeling of these ingredients are fought tooth and nail, in order to protect the bottom line. A quick look at recent headlines brings these Bible verses into a fresh perspective:
"Meat glue safety and labeling defended by industry"
"Something fishy? Counterfeit foods enter the U.S. market "
"How to tell if your olive oil is the real thing"
"Chicken injected with beef waste sold in UK"
"Foods & Drinks With Propylene Glycol"
"11 Disgusting Ingredients You Eat Every Day That Food Companies Don't Talk About"
The deception even goes beyond using deceptive or harmful ingredients in food; companies are quietly reducing packaging size, hoping that consumers won't notice the smaller package sizes like they would a price increase. Scripture is very clear about deceit; it is no small matter to the Lord:
"Listen to this, you who rob the poor and trample down the needy!
You can't wait for the Sabbath day to be over and the religious festivals to end
so you can get back to cheating the helpless.
You measure out grain with dishonest measures and cheat the buyer with dishonest scales.
And you mix the grain you sell with chaff swept from the floor.
Then you enslave poor people for one piece of silver or a pair of sandals.
Now the LORD has sworn this oath by his own name, the Pride of Israel:
"I will never forget the wicked things you have done!
The earth will tremble for your deeds, and everyone will mourn."
Amos 8:4-8

FROM THE FIELDS: Value-Added Salad Quality and Shelf-Life
April 21, 2017
Value-added raw product quality in Salinas, California has improved substantially compared to late-season desert supplies. However, most iceberg and leaf lettuce crops currently remain below optimal maturity levels due to processors harvesting fields sooner than projected.
Romaine Based Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Items
- Darker leaves are more susceptible to mechanical damage which will reduce shelf-life
- Recent rains may cause mildew and/or premature pinking to occur
Iceberg Based RSS Items
- Shelf-life is holding; some light premature pinking is expected

STEM funding to open new doors for Australian women
- Written by Senator Cash
The Coalition Government will help support women pursue careers in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) industries, research sector, start-ups and entrepreneurial firms by investing $13 million over five years.
Minister for Women, Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash said the investment will support greater participation of girls and women in what are predominantly male-dominated fields.
"We need a concerted, national effort to overcome the cultural and organisational factors that discourage girls and women from studying STEM and which subsequently limits their career opportunities," Minister Cash said.
"We will help address this challenge by encouraging greater gender equity in STEM organisations and STEM-based industries."
"This will be an important element of broader efforts by the Government to boost women's workforce participation and strengthen their economic security."
A study conducted by The Centre for Entrepreneurship found that female business owners in the technology sector took home twice as much pay as men.
The research also shows women-led private technology companies are more capital-efficient and achieve a 35% higher return on investment than companies that are led by men.
"Female leaders in the technology sector have experienced high success rates to date, but there is still much room for improvement," Minister Cash said.
Across all business areas, entrepreneurship is on the rise in Australia, evidenced by the number of business owners growing by 1.4% across the past 12 months.
In particular, the volume of business owners in the Professional, Scientific and Technical Services experienced a 2.9% change in the year to February 2015, part of a 22.5% change over the preceding 10 year period.
These statistics indicate a high level of potential growth for women in STEM fields following the government funding set to commence in the coming year.
Projects to be implemented will:
· Support the expansion of the Science in Australia Gender Equity pilot to cover more Australian science and research institutions;
· Establish a new initiative under the 'Male Champions of Change' project to focus on STEM-based and entrepreneurial industries; and
· Partner with the private sector on initiatives to celebrate female STEM role models and foster interest in STEM among girls and women.

To present clinical application of fluorescein angiography (FA)-free focal laser photocoagulation (FLP) of the leakage point in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
A prospective case series included 16 eyes of 16 patients with non-resolved CSC. The leakage point was identified with optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a small single pigment epithelium detachment (PED) localized in the upper half of the neurosensory detachment with an area of photoreceptor outer segments layer thinning above this PED. FLP was performed with the Navilas 532 system.
All patients achieved complete resolution of the subretinal fluid within a mean time of 6.5 ± 1.8 weeks. The mean best-corrected visual acuity statistically significantly increased from 0.08 ± 0.09 (20/25) at baseline to 0.0 ± 0.04 (20/20) at 2 months after FLP (P = .0005).
FA-free, OCT-guided navigated FLP is an effective and safe option to treat a significant number of patients with CSC.
[Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2019;50:e118–e124.]
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a relatively common condition among middle-aged individuals. CSC predominantly affects males and is characterized by serous detachment of the central retina, choroidal thickening, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) dysfunction.1 The prognosis for CSC is generally good because the subretinal fluid (SRF) often resolves spontaneously with complete visual rehabilitation; thus, the management of CSC typically starts with observation for 3 months to 6 months.2 Non-resolved CSC visual symptoms may include relative scotomas, micropsia, metamorphopsia, and abnormal color vision.3 Moreover, long-standing non-resolved CSC is associated with degenerative changes of the outer retina, RPE atrophy, and choroidal neovascularization and can result in a poor final visual outcome even after complete SRF resolution.4,5
Non-therapeutic treatment options for CSC aim to stop focal or diffuse leakage and require topical identification of an area of leakage or a leakage point. At the same time, diagnosis of CSC typically can be established with optical coherence tomography (OCT) (including OCT angiography for exclusion of choroidal neovascularization [CNV]). Thus, in noncomplicated patients with CSC, fluorescein angiography (FA) or indocyanine green angiography is only necessary when planning treatment. From this point of view, FA-free identification of the leakage point could be a step toward a completely noninvasive approach to CSC management. It could also be an option for patients with contraindications for intravenous angiography.
In our previous paper, we proposed an approach for the OCT-based identification of the leakage point without FA in noncomplicated CSC cases.6 We found that a pigment epithelium detachment (PED) localized in the upper half of neurosensory detachment with photoreceptor outer segments (PROS) thinning above this PED typically coincided with the leakage point.6 We therefore supposed that such PED, when small enough, could be used as a target for FA-free focal laser to block the leakage point with which it coincided.
In this case series, we demonstrate the practical utility of FA-free OCT-guided navigated focal laser photocoagulation (FLP) in treating patients with noncomplicated non-resolving CSC.
The study followed the ethical standards stated in the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the local ethics committee. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients after they were informed about the nature and potential advantages and disadvantages of the procedure.
Only symptomatic patients with non-resolved CSC (lasting more than 3 months) were included in this prospective interventional case series. CSC was confirmed by the presence of a serous detachment of the central retina associated with a single small PED. Any other causes of neurosensory detachment except for presumed CSC were excluded.
Patients underwent FA-free OCT-guided FLP if they met the following criteria: (1) CSC duration greater than 3 months; (2) the presence of a single PED detected by OCT less than 500 μm at the maximum dimension; (3) the single PED located in the upper half of the neurosensory detachment area; and (4) the presence of the PROS thinning area (defined as PROS layer thinner than that of a lower part of the neurosensory detachment of 20 μm or more) overlapping the single PED.
Exclusion criteria were as follows: any previous treatment for CSC (including mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, FLP, micropulse laser therapy [MLT], or photodynamic therapy [PDT]); symptoms lasting less than 3 months or more than 12 months; and signs of any other active retinal disease in the study eye. Patients who had a flat, irregular PED, global RPE disruption masking individual PED, complete atrophy of PROS layer, or suspicion of CNV on OCT-angiography (available with Copernicus REVO [Optopol, Zawiercie, Poland]) were also considered to be not appropriate for FA-free OCT-guided FLP. In cases of bilateral CSC, only one eye was included in the study.
All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examinations, including measurement of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp examination, and indirect ophthalmoscopy.
In all patients, an OCT examination was performed to assess the number and position of PEDs as well as the presence of PROS thinning area. Two spectral-domain OCT systems were used in this study. Three-D reference scan (7 mm × 7 mm with 141 B-scans each of 385 A-scans) of RTVue-100 (Optovue, Fremont, CA) and three-dimensional volume scan (7 mm × 7 mm with 163 B-scans each of 320 A-scans) of the Copernicus REVO were used to identify leakage points. The central retinal thickness (CRT) was obtained using the macular thickness map. The height of SRF was measured manually between the outer border of the PROS layer and the RPE at the foveal center. In cases of eccentric neurosensory detachment, the maximum height of SRF was used for analysis.
En face images from RTVue-100 were produced with a slab thickness of 20 μm to 40 μm at the level of the RPE. In cases in which relatively high PEDs were present (the hyporeflective space between the RPE and Bruch's membrane being clearly visible), PED was defined on en face images as a hyporeflective (black) area with sharp borders, which was considered the presumed leakage point. In cases of poor visualization of PED on the en face image (the presence of relatively flat PED), the presumed leakage point was indicated at the intersection of the x- and y-scans using OCT software. Using Copernicus REVO, a presumed leakage point was indicated on the fundus reconstruction image as the position of A-scan at the center of PED responsible for leakage. The PROS thickness was evaluated on cross-sectional scans using a built-in caliper tool of the OCT system software (Figure 1).

(A) En face image with a noted presumed leakage point superimposed on the baseline fundus image. (B) Focal laser photocoagulation treatment plan included three laser spot marks placed at the pigment epithelium detachment (PED). The white line represents the position of the cross-sectional OCT scan. (C) Cross-sectional OCT scan demonstrated a focal PED (asterisk) in the upper part of the neurosensory detachment area and photoreceptor outer segments layer thinning (arrowheads) above this PED.
En face or fundus reconstruction images with the noted leakage points were imported into the Navilas 532 (OD-OS, Teltow, Germany) system, superimposed onto the baseline image (the Navilas color fundus image), and utilized for treatment planning. An initial test burn was performed outside of the neurosensory detachment area to find the parameters for the treatment laser shots. Laser spot marks were placed at the site of the presumed leakage point with spot size of 100 μm, burn spacing of 0.5 to 1.0 burn-widths apart, and a pulse duration of 100 ms (Figure 1).
Retinal treatment began with the titration of the laser power outside the macular region to a minimally visible retinal lesion endpoint. Laser treatment was performed with a 0-power contact lens using topical anesthesia with 0.5% proxymetacaine (Alcaine; Alcon Couvreur NV, Puurs, Belgium).
Postoperatively, OCT examination was performed weekly until the complete resolution of the neurosensory detachment and monthly after that. The primary outcome measure was complete SRF resolution on OCT at 2 months after intervention. The secondary outcome measures included BCVA score at 2 months after FLP and the total number of shots per leakage point. The minimum duration of follow-up was 6 months.
Statistica 10.0 (StatSoft, Tulsa, OK) was used for statistical analysis. The results are expressed as mean ± SD for continuous variables. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess changes in baseline BCVA, CRT, and height of SRF at 2 months after FLP.
Thirty consecutive patients with unilateral acute non-resolving symptomatic CSC were enrolled in this prospective interventional case series; from those, 16 patients (53.3%) met the criteria to be selected for FA-free navigated focal laser photocoagulation. The patient profiles are shown in Table 1. Of 16 eyes, seven were emmetropic, seven were hyperopic, and two were myopic. Two patients (Cases 13 and 15) had no foveal involvement but had complaints about a paracentral relative scotoma.
Table 1:
Baseline Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Optical Coherence Tomography-Guided Focal Laser Photocoagulation of Leakage Points Without Fluorescein Angiography
Each patient received an average of 3.1 ± 0.44 laser burns targeting the PED responsible for the leakage. One patient (Case 13) received two sessions of FA-free FLP. The first session with three laser shots (shot power of 60 mW, pulse duration of 70 ms) did not result in change of SRF at 1 month after treatment. One month after the first session, the second session was performed using the same treatment plan with a higher laser power (shot power of 90 mW, pulse duration of 70 ms) followed by complete resolution of SRF at 1 month after FLP (Figure 2). One patient without foveal involvement (Case 15) had two eccentric neurosensory detachments, one of which was symptomatic. In this case, only symptomatic neurosensory detachment met the criteria for FA-free OCT-guided FLP (Figure 3) and was treated. At the moment of complete resolution of treated neurosensory detachment, as well as at the end of follow-up, SRF in the nontreated neurosensory detachment persisted.

(G) Montaged retinal thickness map 3 weeks after focal laser photocoagulation showed normal retinal thickness in the area of the temporal neurosensory detachment. Note that nasal neurosensory detachment (dashed line) persisted. (H) Cross-sectional scan through the site of former leakage point (represented by black line) showed thinning of outer retinal layers. (I) Cross-sectional scan through the asymptomatic nasal neurosensory detachment (represented by red line) demonstrated no changes compared with baseline. (K) Cross-sectional scan through the lower part of neurosensory detachment (represented by blue line) revealed complete resolution of subretinal fluid and thinning of outer retinal layers.
Fourteen of 16 patients (87.5%) achieved complete resolution of SRF at 2 months after FLP. For all the patients, the mean time for complete resolution of SRF after FLP was 6.5 weeks ± 1.8 weeks. The mean BCVA statistically significantly increased from 0.08 ± 0.09 (20/25 Snellen equivalent) at baseline to 0.0 ± 0.04 (20/20) at 2 months after FLP (P = .0005). Both the mean CRT and the mean height of SRF decreased statistically significant (P < .001) from 395.3 μm ± 146.3 μm and 225.1 μm ± 104.4 μm, respectively, at baseline to 234.4 μm ± 37.2 μm and 10.5 μm ± 30.3 μm, respectively, at 2 months after FLP. The final CRT after complete resolution of SRF was 227.5 μm ± 28.0 μm.
During the follow-up, there were no adverse events associated with laser application. In one patient (6.25%) (Case 14), SRF recurrence occurred at 3 months after FLP and resolved spontaneously 3 weeks after onset.
In this prospective case series, we showed that focal leakage (leakage point) could be identified with OCT and successfully treated without FA in a significant number of CSC patients.
The FA-free approach described in this study was based on the relatively well-known fact that PED is frequently present at the leakage point in CSC patients.7–9 However, this fact alone does not allow focal laser targeting PED to be performed because noncoincidence of leakage point and PED is possible. However, two additional OCT findings may allow us to verify the presence of leakage at the particular PED. The first finding is PROS thinning in the area of PED, which was found in 89.3% of PEDs coinciding with leakage points.6 The second finding was that the leakage point was typically associated with a PED located in the upper half of the neurosensory detachment area.6
Based on this consideration, the steps of the OCT-based algorithm for the identification of presumed leakage points in patients with CSC include: (1) the visualization of all PEDs within the neurosensory detachment area; (2) the exclusion of the PEDs localizing in the lower half of the neurosensory detachment area; and (3) an analysis of the PED and PROS thinning area colocalization. Nevertheless, we theorize that patients with multiple PEDs could be treated, as well, if they demonstrate only one PED in the upper half of the neurosensory detachment and / or noticeable focal PROS thinning. To minimize risk of misidentification of the presumed leakage point, in this study we excluded patients who demonstrated more than one PED on OCT.
Although this study had no control group, it prospectively demonstrated no failures in identification of presumed leakage point in a specific cohort of patients with CSC. Interestingly, in the patient who had two neurosensory detachments (Case 15), only the one treated demonstrated resolution of SRF, while the nontreated detachment continued to persist. An "inner control" (a nontreated neurosensory detachment) presented in this case supports effectiveness and the sufficient precision of FA-free OCT-guided identification of leakage point because it allows us to exclude self-resolution of the treated neurosensory detachment. In one patient (Case 13), the first session of FLP did not result in SRF resolution. Because the second session of FLP was performed using the same treatment plan, we believe that the first session could be considered a "sham" FLP (due to the low laser energy used) and excludes self-resolution of SRF. This case therefore also advocates for practical effectiveness of FA-free OCT-guided FLP.
Because CSC is a self-limiting condition, treatment is recommended only for non-resolving cases with a duration of more than 3 months. Treatment of CSC cases uncomplicated by CNV may include laser photocoagulation of the leakage points,10 PDT with verteporfin,11 or subthreshold MLT.12 Although all three methods result in the resolution of SRF and an increase in visual acuity, none reduce the risk of CSC recurrence. Moreover, all three methods are not without disadvantages. Conventional FLP can be performed only if focal leakage is found on FA and is considered to be an inappropriate procedure for chronic CSC cases associated with diffuse leakage. Potential adverse effects of PDT are associated with overtreatment of the choroidal vasculature, choroidal ischemia, and CNV.13 Further, intravenous administration of verteporfin is generally safe but may have potential systemic complications. At the same time, the advantages of MLT over FLP or PDT are still debated.12,14 In contrast with FLP, both PDT and MLT share a common advantage because these procedures have demonstrated effectiveness in chronic CSC cases with diffuse leakage.14
Navigated laser therapy used in this study has been shown to be effective and safe for FLP in patients with non-resolved CSC.15,16 The navigated approach improves the accuracy of the application of laser burns and reduces the risk of damage to the foveal avascular zone.17 The FA-free OCT-guided approach for conventional FLP may be challenging because of significant differences in appearance between the ophthalmoscopic view and the en face image used for treatment planning. This disadvantage is completely solved by planning with a navigated laser system, allowing us to superimpose an en face image on a baseline image of the eye fundus.
As was reported earlier, the resolution of the SRF in patients with CSC can be achieved with the application of a single laser spot for each single leak with minimum iatrogenic damage to the retina.16 In our treatment protocol, we used 3.3 ± 0.5 laser spots per presumed leakage point because in the majority of cases, targeting PED was significantly larger than the typical leakage point. The application of more than one laser burn per presumed leakage point was not associated with any adverse event during the follow-up as demonstrated by Mastropasqua et al. in an earlier study.15 Thus, in our cohort of patients, FA-free FLP appears to be non-inferior to conventional FA-guided focal laser in terms of tissue sparing. Our study also demonstrated similar to conventional FLP success rate as well as the rates of both SRF resolution and SRF recurrence in patients with CSC who underwent FA-free OCT-guided FLP of leakage points.15–17
A concern about the FA-free approach is the potential possibility of the misidentification of presumed leakage points. However, strict adherence to the algorithm of identification of presumed leakage points as well as adequate patient selection minimizes the failure rate. Moreover, modern laser therapy is generally safe and, if performed correctly, is associated with a minimum risk for adverse events such as CNV or central scotoma.
The effectiveness and safety of FA-free OCT-guided approach for navigated FLP were demonstrated in this study. Nevertheless, the selection of patients and strict adherence to the algorithm of identification of the presumed leakage points are critical for this procedure. This procedure was easy to perform using a navigated laser system and can also be replicated by most laser surgeons using conventional laser systems. We believe that this surgical technique is a good option for a significant number of patients with CSC. Additionally, the FA-free OCT-guided approach can also be used for MLT or PDT because the precision of these procedures is inferior to that of FLP. Nevertheless, further studies should be conducted to verify this suggestion.

My horse was getting worse every week for no apparent reason. I have tried many calming products with no success. I then tried Equifeast starter supplement, I did struggle to get her to eat it at first. But there began to be a slight improvement in her attitude. I thought it was worth moving onto the next supplement and I'm glad I did. She now eats it regularly,no problem and her attitude is much improved. She is no longer highly dangerous and is a pleasure to ride.

Yesterday, I talked about the exciting Process Drama that I am running with a couple of 7th grade classes. Check out the link if you want to know more about it. Today, I thought I'd share what I've been working on with my 4th graders: a Devised & Collaborative Theater program, using the themes of Freedom and Democracy to propel us along. Like the Process Drama, I had a 9 week program to work with. Limiting in time, but also creates a sharper focus, which, sometimes, I need myself. There's a lot of information to share, and not always enough time.
The students in both classes have taken to the work in fun and exciting (yes..my Mondays are exciting) ways. As with my 7th grade classes, a lot of the success of this ongoing work is due to the classroom teachers who I have partnered up with. They are just as invested and excited about the students work. They've seen the ensemble (team work) building; the cooperation skills; the listening and communication skills; the creative thinking in their decoding and interpretations; their critical eye developing as they give peer-to-peer feedback; the FUN they are having learning while they don't realize it's LEARNING. So to the teachers: Thank you.
My initial proposal was accepted: since I had the theme, let me find song lyrics that embrace the ideas of Freedom and Democracy. The students would be taking these lyrics and interpreting them (decoding) to eventually present them in a theatrical form. They'd be working in theater arts, literacy, social studies and a lot of life lessons through this.
The entire class would work on one together with me to decode: Redemption Song, by Bob Marley. (BTW..if you click on any of the song titles, you'll go to a lyrics page. Some of them have pop ups that are annoying, but Norton & Google both give the sites their official okey dokeys). We had spent a few classes on basic theater ensemble work, warm ups, interpretive exercises, so when it came time for Redemption Song, the students were ready for this next step. For two classes they worked in small groups and had a good model of what was to come next. They also learned how to CRITIQUE as opposed to Criticize. "I Like…", "Have you thought of…", and "My suggestion to take this to another level is…" replaced the "you did that ____wrong", etc type of negative tear down the ego stuff that comes from "constructive criticism"..it's still criticism, in my book. Peer to Peer feedback in a positive, supporting, and growth educing way.
After Redemption Song, the students were divided into new small groups and the individual songs were handed out:I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night Warchild, Unreconstructed Rebel, Deportee, The Ballad of the Underground Railroad,
I Aint Go No Home
Now just having had my 7 of 9 class with them (yes, Voyager pun intended!), they are well into putting their interpretations up on their feet, giving me tableaux, beginning, middle and ends, character work, stage fighting choreography, creative thinking, creative drama, and more.
Last thing: when a student asks me "Can we do __________?" in the context of their creation, my answer is: "You can do whatever you think fits the work for presentation." Try it out, see if it feels right, and do it. Or toss it if it's not right.
I'm looking forward to the last two sessions, and sad too, that they are the last two sessions.
What are your creative outlets?

Jeremy instructed in two major fraud cases
Posted on September 20th, 2012 by Jeremy Barnett
Jeremy has recently been instructed in two major fraud cases.
The first is an interesting case at Nottingham Crown Court involving the importation of tobacco, where HMRC allege that £8m of excise duty was avoided. The case centres on allegations concerning the importation of threshing machines which can be used for various purposes. Issues relating to the importation of snuff and shisha.
The second is an allegation of conspiracy to commit fraud at Middlesborough Crown Court, in relation to the obtaining of 39 properties where approximately £1.5m was raised from various lending insitutions. The prosecution rely upon the SRA code and the CML handbook in respect of other co defendant's conduct.
