So I am looking for people to RP with, I will post some of my plots down below, and some of the things I am looking for. I like romance, and drama but I also enjoy fantasy. Also looking for active members who like thrilling plot twisting roleplays. I always like to stir things up and make them crazy, so if you're in to those kind of fun role plays, I'm your girl. I'd like someone who could do 4+ paragraphs, due to its slow moving, I'd like each post to have enough detail to work with.
Italics: I want
Bold: I really want
So mainly, my favorite idea is two people who aren't very fond of each other, and pretty much have a love hate relationship. Plots in this category would be:
Fandom/Romance/Drama FxM or MxM
Wounded Soldier (Attack on Titan)
Levi is secretly in love with this particular soldier, and finds out that they have been badly injured. Secretly he pulls the soldier out of recruitment, and when the soldier wakes they find out that they are no longer going out of the walls which makes them completely furious. Levi being the one to tell them, makes them continuously ask him why they've been removed, but Levi battles it out to not let the truth be revealed that they were removed because Levi didn't want anything to happen to them, after all the fussing Levi becomes frustrated and begins to use awkward affection as a new tactic to protect this soldier.
Other plots:
Future/Cyborg/Romance/Mystery/Thriller FxM FxF
A young girl living in the future is one of the first humans to be given a cyborg body after a horrible accident. Her family owns one of the biggest corporations in the most futuristic city in the world, who has advanced much quicker than anywhere else. The girl wasn't happy that she had become metal, screws, and computer chips and feels as if she is no longer human enough for the world, and that she will be nothing more than a robot to most people who are still human. One boy/girl comes around and changes her mind, but has no idea how bad of a life the cyborg girl lives working behind the scenes in this secretive corporation that have a few plans up their sleeves for the future.
Not such detailed plots I like
MxF (maybe FxF)
Kidnapped x Kidnapper
Mafia d x Government
Grim reaper x Demon
Fallen angel x angel
Demon x Mortal
One I am really looking for!
I would like to play as a girl who loses a lot of her memories, and mostly what emotions are and how everything works, the other person is pretty much to teach her what these things and emotions are. The OC will be someone that may be in some distraught situation, living a secret life of crime or what not. Something they won't show to the girl to keep her safe, and one of the climaxes could be her finding out.
Willing to hear other's plots and ideas. :3 I am a nice person so don' be scared to voice your opinion.

The story of a student's ride from controversy to advocacy.
Erin Davies was victim to a hate crime in Albany, New York. Because of a rainbow sticker on her VW Beetle, Davies' car was vandalized, left with the words "fag" and "u r gay" place on the driver's side and hood of her car. Despite initial shock and embarrassment, Erin decided to embrace what happened by leaving the graffiti on her car. She took her car, now known worldwide as the "Fagbug," on a 58-day trip around the United States and Canada.
Check out the car. See what happened. Meet Davies. Hear her story.

Located just south of Boston (called "Southie" by locals), Dorchester is one of Beantown's fastest-growing communities. The largest neighborhood in the metropolis, it is also one of the most diverse with a heavy population of Irish and Vietnamese residents. With plenty of riverfront amenities and a strong sense of neighborhood pride, it makes sense that so many Massachusetts residents are finding their home in Dorchester apartments for rent. With two city parks within the limits, rentals here will give many of Boston's residents the quality of life they need.
The community of Dorchester was originally one of the largest towns in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, founded in 1630. One of the oldest neighborhoods in Massachusetts, Dorchester remained a rural farming area until it was annexed to Boston in 1870.
Prospective residents thinking about living in Dorchester apartments for rent today have an annual cost of living index that is estimated to be 8.7 percent greater than the rest of Boston and 25.3 percent greater than the national average, reported AreaVibes. The Dorchester community typically pays $3.85 for a gallon of gas, $5.31 for a cup of coffee and $8.99 for pizza, added the source.
Those residents of Dorchester apartments for rent seeking employment opportunities have access to jobs in leading industries such as healthcare, education and finances. As the largest neighborhood in the city of Boston, residents of Dorchester apartments looking for employment opportunities can turn to the largest employers in the greater city of Boston, including the Boston Harbor Hotel, the Institution for Savings, RE/MAX Leading Edge, Fruit Center Marketplace and VNA of Middlesex-East.
Dorchester is home to the Blake House, the oldest surviving home in the Boston area. A great example of 17th century architecture, this home that was once owned by the Blake family until 1825. A variety of residents of apartments for rent in Dorchester saved the home for historic preservation after the city of Boston threatened to demolish it in the late 1800s.
This thriving community is also home to the largest copyrighted work of art in the country. Called the Rainbow Swash, the artist Corita Kent designed and painted this multi-colored piece in 1971, and it has brightened the commute for many Boston residents along Interstate 93 ever since.

Here's to the Southern treat that can't be beat -- September is National Biscuit Month.
There's just something about a biscuit. Scratch that -- there is everything about a biscuit. In a skilled set of hands, a humble meld of flour, fat, liquid and leavening are transformed into something that sustains both body and spirit through the toughest times. But honestly, even a so-called "cheater" biscuit from a box mix, can (a.k.a. "whomp biscuits") or freezer is better than having no biscuit at all.
If you'd like to take biscuit matters into your own hands, I've picked up a little wisdom along the way from my own biscuit-making adventures:
Chill the flour and sift it before you measure it. This keeps fat cold and helps make the end result much fluffier.
Whisk dry ingredients rather than stirring to work out clumps and add airiness.
Don't omit the salt -- it's a key ingredient that brings the flavor together. A pinch of sugar helps form a slightly crunchy crust, without adding a whole lot of sweetness.
Play around to find the fat combination you like best for both flavor and texture. I prefer a 50/50 blend of lard and unsalted butter, but then again, a biscuit is a highly personal thing. In any case, chill whatever fat you're going to use to help form light, flaky layers.
Cut the cold fat into butter-pat-sized pieces, then rinse your hands under cold water (or handle an ice cube for a minute or two), dry them and use your fingers to rub the fat and dry ingredients together. You're working toward a texture where half the mixture is like meal, and the rest is in pea-sized lumps.
Whatever liquid you use (I swear by buttermilk) make sure it's cold, and that the dough is fairly wet, so steam can help fluff the layers.
Some people beat, roll or drop, but I knead my dough a little, then pat it into a long oval, then prick lightly with a fork before cutting.
If you decide to cut your biscuits, try not to twist the cutter as you raise and lower it, so the sides don't seal and they can rise higher. Then, let the sides touch a little when you place the biscuits on the pan, skillet or cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper), so some portions crisp up and others remain fluffy when they break apart.
Use the top couple of oven racks and let the temperature reach 500°F before putting the biscuits in. Brush the tops with melted butter as soon as they leave the oven.
And if you'd care to take biscuit matters into your heart as well, here are a few stories worth sinking your teeth into:
An ode to Dad and biscuits -- John Devore
Down South, it's not breakfast without flaky, fluffy lard biscuits born of a cast-iron skillet. They are more than just morning fare; they're time machines that transport some of us back to years far leaner.
My old man was a Baptist preacher's kid, during the Great Depression. He grew up poor.
He had an enormous appetite, and enjoyed all kind of new and exotic foods. I like to think of him as a sort of proto-foodie. He would always clean his plate and proudly slap me on the back when I was able to inhale everything served to me and still ask for seconds. It wasn't until I was older that I understood that when you go to bed hungry as a kid, you grow up making sure you eat every single morsel presented to you. Because you never know when it's not going to be there. (Read more)
The biscuit recipe that can't be beat -- Lisa Fain and Sarah LeTrent
Biscuits. Everybody has an opinion on them - particularly in the South where nary a country breakfast spread exists without a steaming batch fresh out of the oven.
They're also served hot with a side of controversy: lard versus butter, White Lily flour versus run-of-the-mill, twisting or not twisting the biscuit cutter. Generations of home cooks, like Lisa Fain, have sat around the table buttering up their own version and debating the right way to make them.
Fain - a Texas native-turned-New Yorker - writes the Homesick Texan food blog, and has now compiled those nostalgic recipes she grew up with into "The Homesick Texan Cookbook."
She's not claiming her biscuits are the end-all be-all, but you can bet your cowboy boots they're pretty darn delicious. (Read more)
Lick the screen – a Biscuitville bologna biscuit -- Kat Kinsman
Let's say for the sake of argument that you've been drinking. For a day or two. Possibly three. It's the holidays (which you loathe), you've been hanging out with family (who loooove themselves some holiday cheer), and your home borough (hundreds of miles away and to the North) has suffered a snowpocalypse that has inspired every national newscaster to tell you, with no small measure of glee that all your worldly possessions, neighbors and colleagues have likely been consumed by yeti. (So sorry.)
You probably would not mind a biscuit. Oh, who are we kidding? In order to survive the next hour of your life, you're going to require the ingestion of a biscuit roughly the size of a hassock, ideally with some manner of viciously salty pork nestled within its floury depths. (Read more)

Martin Landau Movies
Saturnine character actor
Martin Landau
was a staff cartoonist for the New York Daily News before switching to acting. In 1955, his career got off to a promising beginning, when out of 2,000 applicants, only he and one other actor (
Steve McQueen
) were accepted by
Lee Strasberg
's Actors Studio.
Extremely busy in the days of live, Manhattan-based television, Landau made his cinematic mark with his second film appearance, playing
James Mason
's henchman in
Alfred Hitchcock
North by Northwest
(1959). In 1966, Landau and his wife
Barbara Bain
were both cast on the TV adventure/espionage series
Mission: Impossible
. For three years, Landau portrayed Rollin Hand, a master of disguise with the acute ability to impersonate virtually every villain who came down the pike (banana-republic despots were a specialty). Unhappy with changes in production personnel and budget cuts, Landau and Bain left the series in 1969. Six years later, they costarred in
Space: 1999
a popular syndicated sci-fi series; the performances of Landau, Bain, and third lead
Barry Morse
helped to gloss over the glaring gaps in continuity and logic which characterized the show's two-year run. The couple would subsequently act together several times (
The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island
(1981) was one of the less distinguished occasions) before their marriage dissolved.
Working steadily in various projects throughout the next few decades,
enjoyed a career renaissance with two consecutive Oscar nominations, the first for
Francis Ford Coppola
Tucker: The Man and His Dream
(1988), and the second for
Woody Allen
Crimes and Misdemeanors
(1989). Landau finally won an Academy Award for his portrayal of
Bela Lugosi
Tim Burton
's 1994
Ed Wood
; his refusal to cut his acceptance speech short was one of the high points of the 1995 Oscar ceremony. He would continue to work over the next several years, appearing in movies like City of Ember and Mysteria, as well as on TV shows like Without a Trace and Entourage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Academy Award-nominated for his groundbreaking animated short of the same name, filmmaker Shane Acker makes his feature directorial debut with this expanded version of his acclaimed post-apocalyptic fable. In a world parallel to our own, the worst has happened, and humanity is in danger of extinction. From the ashes of destruction emerges a courageous rag doll named 9 (voice of Elijah Wood) whose unique leadership skills could prove the key to survival for those who have not yet perished. Perhaps with a little help from his friends, who include domineering war veteran 1 (voice of Christopher Plummer), aging inventor 2 (voice of Martin Landau), stout mechanic 5 (voice of John C. Reilly), visionary artist 6 (voice of Crispin Glover), and fearless warrior 7 (voice of Jennifer Connelly), 9 will prove capable of salvaging what still remains of this world, and laying the groundwork for a hopeful future. Produced by Tim Burton, Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch), and Jim Lemley (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), 9 takes viewers on a surrealistic journey into a world where anything is possible. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

After incurring the wrath of his volatile boss, Ricardo ditches his girlfriend and rents a room in the Hotel Boyd.

Lattie's mother Margo is a victim of domestic violence, and lately the abuse has been getting worse. Later, as Ricardo attempts to work out a way to pay back his boss, he encounters Harrison Montgomery (Martin Landau), an elderly resident of the hotel who's hoarding a big lottery win. If Ricardo had that kind of cash, he could pay off his boss easily. His time running up and his options running out, Ricardo must now decide whether to stand by his newfound friends, or to simply take the money and run. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

He remains one of the true icons of late 20th and early 21st century evangelism. But what of his early years -- the years that led him into full-time ministry? As scripted and directed by acclaimed actor Robby Benson (The Chosen), this fact-based historical drama depicts Billy Graham (here played by Armie Hammer) as an earnest young man whose life is irrevocably changed via his interaction with another up-and-coming follower of God, Charles Templeton. Though fast friends, the men reach a crossroads and fork off in opposing directions when Templeton's faith buckles beneath the weight of the scientific revolution and the evidence that he perceives as an unshakable threat to Christianity. The disbelief that Templeton demonstrates, in turn, convinces Graham to take the altar call in the Depression-era South, in an effort to bring people to God who find themselves mired in agnosticism and atheism. Martin Landau portrays Charles Templeton as an old man, Josh Turner plays George Beverly Shea, and Stefanie Butler co-stars as Graham's wife, Ruth Bell Graham. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Monster House director Gil Kenan takes the helm for this children's fantasy about two young heroes who attempt to solve an ancient mystery in time to prevent their underground city from being swallowed by darkness. The City of Ember was built over 200 year ago, deep below the earth, where the destruction of a mass-scale disaster couldn't reach it. Equipped with a massive generator and vast supplies, the people of Ember have thrived happily for generations -- but the city wasn't meant to be lived in forever. The generator is breaking down and the supplies are running out, but two centuries in isolation have robbed the Emberites of their knowledge -- nobody knows how the electric lights work anymore, and nobody understands that there's something beyond the city besides darkness. Nobody, that is, besides Lina (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon (Harry Treadaway), two teenagers who still have the hope that everyone else has lost to ignorance and apathy -- not to mention a sheet of instructions left by the Builders themselves explaining how to leave the city. But the 200-year-old paper is falling apart, and pieces are missing. So with the lights threatening to flicker out for the last time and leave Ember in darkness forever, Lina and Doon set out on an adventure through the streets, sewers, and dark caverns of Ember to put the pieces back together. To solve the mystery, they'll have to get inside the Builders' heads, and avoid the grasp of corrupt Mayor Cole (Bill Murray), who wants to keep Ember the way it is -- no matter what the cost. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

David & Fatima
A forbidden romance threatens deadly consequences for a young Israeli Jew and a beautiful Palestinian Muslim who risk their lives and defy their families by eloping in a land where their union will be doomed from the moment they wed. Jerusalem is in crisis; while Jews, Arabs, and Christians live side by side in this sacred city, few of them ever intermingle, much less attempt to pursue any kind of meaningful dialogue with one another. Tradition runs deep here, and to go against that could mean death. But for a young Jew named David and a pretty Palestinian named Fatima, the world simply isn't as black and white as some folks would like to think. They know that they must work to keep their romance a secret from their families, and when the truth gets out their love is at risk of being lost forever. But David and Fatima are willing to risk it all in the name of love, and soon make the decision to elope rather than let their lives be dictated by the laws of the land. Neither has any doubt that their decision could bring about deadly results, but both realize that a love this strong is simply much too powerful to ever be denied. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

As originally screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, at the Cannes Film Festival, and on Turner Classic Movies, the mammoth, epic-length documentary Brando chronicles in encyclopedic detail (and with a consistently reverent overtone) the life and career of the man widely regarded as the most formidable American actor of the 20th century - famous for not only reshaping, but reinventing the craft of film acting and teaching audiences how to view a motion picture performance. Divided into chronological, thematically-unified segments, the film first treats Marlon Brando's dysfunctional upbringing - his alcoholic mother, his abusive father, his stint at a military academy - before charting his acting tutelage at the behest of Stella Adler and his early cinematic and theatrical roles, including work for Elia Kazan, who famously made many aggressive (and unsuccessful) attempts to discipline the headstrong actor onscreen. Throughout this segment, many Hollywood A-list actors appear - among them, Al Pacino, Johnny Depp and Robert Duvall - expostulating at length on Brando's influence over their approaches to performance, and attempting with great effort to define the elusive style known as "method acting" that Brando helped to create. The second half of the documentary moves into Brando's career during the '70s, '80s and '90s, covering the production of The Godfather, the actor's noteworthy political activism, and his tumultuous personal life. Francis Ford Coppola, who of course teamed with Brando for the first Godfather installment and for Apocalypse Now, is noticeably absent from the proceedings. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The Evidence [TV Series]
The gimmick of the ABC procedural drama The Evidence was established at the beginning of each hour-long episode. It was explained via a videotaped police log that a murder had been committed, and that several clues were left behind by the unknown killer. As the camera froze on each clue, the viewer was treated to a flashback, placing that clue in context of the crime. Thus, the characters onscreen virtually competed against the viewers at home as to who would solve the mystery first. Orlando Jones and Rob Estes headed the cast as San Francisco police detectives Cayman Bishop and Sean Cole, who punctuated each investigation with kidding-on-the-square insults and clever quips, à la Robert Culp and Bill Cosby on the old spy series I Spy. Other regulars included Martin Landau as medical examiner Dr. Sol Goldman and Anita Briem as investigator Emily Stevens. The "backstories" of each character were revealed on a "need to know" basis in the course of each episode, showing how their personal experiences colored the direction of the investigation (much air time was devoted to the death of the wife of Sean Cole). Created by Sam Baum and Dustin Thomason, The Evidence made its network bow on March 22, 2006, only to be placed on hiatus after three episodes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Aryan Couple
In this drama set in Eastern Europe in 1944, (Martin Landau) plays Josef Krauzenberg, a wealthy Hungarian Jewish business owner who, despite his fortune, finds his life hanging in the balance as the Nazi "final solution" is being enacted throughout Eastern Europe. Under the terms of the Third Reich's "Europa Plan," Krauzenberg arranges with Nazi leaders to exchange his fortune, his business holdings (textile plants, steel mills, ownership of several banks) and a collection of rare art for safe passage to Switzerland for himself, his wife Rachel (Judy Parfitt), and their family. Such is Krauzenberg's wealth and power that when he agrees to sign over his property, two of the most powerful men in the Nazi regime announce they will come to his house to handle the paperwork -- Adolf Eichmann (Steven Mackintosh) and Heinrich Himmler (Danny Webb); however, as the Nazi leaders are ushered into Krauzenberg's home, they notice something unusual -- his two most trusted servants, Hans Vassmann (Kenny Doughty) and his wife Ingrid (Caroline Carver) are a married Aryan couple who are still working for a Jew despite the pogrom. As it happens, Eichmann and Himmler's suspicions are well-founded -- Hans and Ingrid are actually Jews working undercover with a team of resistance fighters, and as they serve the Nazis, they wonder if they should kill Eichmann and Himmler for the greater good, even if it would mean certain death for the Krauzenbergs and themselves. While The Aryan Couple is fictional, it was inspired by actual events, and the existence of the "Europa Plan" has been documented, though no one appears to have been saved from death through its application. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In the late 1930s, as the Nazis tightened their grip on Europe and the fate of Germany's Jewish population began to look increasingly grim, many Jews began seeking refuge wherever they could find it. However, with Europe no longer safe and passage to Great Britain or the United States frequently unavailable, many were forced to seek out other destinations; one unexpected haven turned out to be Shanghai, which was willing to take in the refugees. However, with the Chinese city under Japanese occupation following the Sino-Japanese war, Jews were forced into a squalid tumbledown ghetto known as Hong Kew, and treated with little respect by the ruling forces. But despite the fact the Japanese went out of their way to make life difficult for the refugees, the people of Shanghai, themselves familiar with violent treatment by outside political forces, for the most part embraced the new settlers, and many of the refugees regarded the people of Shanghai with tremendous gratitude. The Shanghai Ghetto is a documentary which examines this often overlooked footnote in the history of World War II; survivors of the Hong Kew ghetto share their memories of the experience, while war historians discuss the impotence of the Shanghai refugees. Actor Martin Landau narrates. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Director Frank Darabont created this Frank Capra-inspired drama based on a screenplay by his friend and one-time schoolmate Michael Sloane. Jim Carrey stars as Pete Appleton, a screenwriter in the Hollywood of the 1950s. Pete's on top of the world with his first motion picture "Sand Pirates of the Sahara" just released to theaters and his romance with a beautiful starlet (Amanda Detmer) heating up. However, his triumph turns to dismay when he's called before the commie-hunting House Un-American Activities Committee and advised by a studio lawyer and his agent to play ball with the witch hunters. Depressed by the film industry's weak-kneed reaction to the hearings, Pete gets drunk and drives his car north along the California coast, where he crashes from a bridge and wakes up on shore the next morning suffering from amnesia. Wandering into the nearby small town of Lawson, Pete is mistaken for Luke Trimble, a lost hero of World War II who, like most of the area's young men, never returned from the war a decade earlier. "Luke" has soon reunited with both his father (Martin Landau) and his one-time girlfriend (Laurie Holden), and finds that his reappearance has given the citizens of Lawson an emotional boost that's sorely needed. When he refurbishes and reopens his family's decrepit movie theater, the Majestic, Luke revitalizes Lawson just as his memory of his true identity begins to reassert itself. Sloane's original script for The Majestic (2001) was entitled The Bijou. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

An American journalist takes on the dangerous responsibility of rescuing nearly a thousand refugees from a Nazi concentration camp in this two-part made-for-TV movie based on a true story. In the early days of America's involvement in World War II, Ruth Gruber (Natasha Richardson) is a reporter who has been giving particular attention to a recent story: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in violation of United States policies of the day, has announced he will grant asylum in America to 982 European refugees from Nazi labor camps. But someone needs to escort the prisoners to the U.S.; Gruber, of European ancestry and Jewish faith, volunteers for the assignment over the objections of her parents (Anne Bancroft and Martin Landau). Gruber travels to Italy on behalf of Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes (Hal Holbrook), where she helps the refugees board the U.S.S. Henry Gibbins. But Gruber discovers that the American sailors manning the ship regard their passengers as little better than their Nazi jailers, and the State Department declares, upon their arrival in the United States, that all the refugees are to be housed in a camp in Oswego, NY -- even those who have families willing to sponsor them in America. Gruber realizes her work with the refugees is far from done, and she bravely battles against both bureaucracy and prejudice to win both dignity and fair treatment for the new settlers. Haven was originally broadcast on the CBS television network on February 11 and 14, 2001. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Dr. Patel is an associate professor in the Section of Vascular & Interventional Radiology at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN.
Hospital- and population-based studies, using objective confirmation, report annual incidence ranging from 48 to 182 new cases of acute deep vein thrombosis per 100,000 Western industrialized inhabitants. 1,2 Clinical features of acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (IFDVT) include massive unilateral leg edema, pain, and cyanosis. As initially described by Virchow, 3 three factors are of primary importance in the development of deep venous thrombosis (DVT): (a) abnormalities of blood flow, (b) abnormalities of blood, and (c) vessel wall injury. Several of the risk factors associated with DVT can be related to one or more of these elements (Table 1). However, it is now recognized that most thromboses arise from the interaction of multiple inherited and acquired risk factors, giving rise to the concept of "thrombotic potential" as proposed by Rosendaal et al. 4 When the cumulative thrombotic potential of all risk factors exceeds a certain threshold, clinical thrombosis is likely.
The short-term sequela of DVT is propagation of the thrombus to a more clinically significant portion of the venous system and embolization (figure 1) of thrombus to the pulmonary tree. 5,6 With anticoagulant therapy, clot propagation is deterred and the intrinsic fibrinolytic system begins to clear the clot. This recanalization process results in a series of pathological events. Thrombi that are not dissolved by intrinsic fibrinolysis become organized--connective tissue cells invade the thrombus, incorporate it into the vein wall, and form scar tissue that may damage or destroy vein valves. Alternatively, a new channel may develop through the thrombus, recanalizing the vein. But the new channel is irregular and does not permit free blood flow. This impedance often results in recurrent deep venous thrombosis.
The major long-term sequela of DVT is post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). 7 This is manifested as chronic edema, pain, and muscle fatigue (venous claudication), varicosities, hyperpigmentation of the skin, subcutaneous fibrosis, and venous stasis skin ulcers (figure 2). PTS becomes apparent only months to years after an episode of DVT. Patients with IFDVT are at a high risk; 66% develop PTS, and 10% to 15% develop venous stasis skin ulcers. 7-11 PTS is the result of chronic elevation of venous pressures (venous hypertension) in the lower limb due to venous outflow obstruction and/or valvular incompetence. The single most important implicated cause of PTS is valvular insufficiency in the popliteal and superficial femoral veins. 9,12,13
The standard treatment of DVT is anticoagulation therapy with supportive care (bed rest, leg elevation, and venous compression stockings). Traditionally, the patient with DVT is admitted to the hospital for intravenous unfractionated heparin while converting to long-term oral anticoagulation using warfarin. With the introduction of low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) compounds (i.e., enoxaparin, 1 mg/kg, bid sq; Lovenox, Rhone-Poulenc, Collegeville, PA), outpatient anticoagulation therapy can be administered subcutaneously. This method offers substantial cost-savings since no hospitalization or laboratory monitoring of the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is required. 14
A common misconception among physicians is the notion that systemic anticoagulation dissolves thrombus. By forming a complex with antithrombin III, heparin inhibits the formation of thrombin and thus suppresses thrombus formation and propagation. Heparin does not act on the formed thrombus. With anticoagulation therapy, recanalization of the occluded vessel depends solely on the effectiveness of the patient's own fibrinolytic system. Unfortunately, the body's natural fibrinolytic system cannot completely remove the large clot burden of extensive IFDVT. Subsequently, the thrombus organizes leading to permanent obstruction and occlusion of the vein with development of valvular incompetence. 15 The clinical consequence is the onset of PTS. 7
Krupski et al 5 found that only 6% of patients with acute extensive lower-extremity DVT showed complete lysis of the thrombus within 10 days when treated with heparin alone. Propagation of the thrombus occurs in 38% of these patients despite having therapeutic levels of heparin. Johnson et al 15 found 59% of patients to be asymptomatic at a mean follow-up of 3 years after an episode of deep vein thrombosis. Valve function and venous patency was shown by Doppler ultrasonography to have normalized in only 18% of the symptomatic limbs and 3% of the asymptomatic limbs. The frequency of reflux and obstruction in the asymptomatic limbs was similar to that in symptomatic limbs. However, when residual obstruction accompanied reflux, PTS was more likely to develop. In a 5-year follow-up study, 95% of symptomatic patients with IFDVT treated with anticoagulation alone had muscle pump function and severe compromise of valvular competency. 16 Furthermore, 50% developed venous claudication and job disability, and 86% developed venous stasis skin ulcers. The recurrence rate of deep vein thrombosis is 7% to 30% in patients successfully treated with anticoagulant therapy. 17 Although heparin is of benefit in reducing the incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE), it appears to be of little value in reducing the incidence of PTS.
In contrast to anticoagulant therapy, surgical thrombectomy (figure 3) and thrombolytic therapy directly remove the clot burden. Unfortunately, surgical thrombectomy is hindered by early rethrombosis rates (up to 72%) and plagued by recurrent DVT. 18 This, in part, is related to incomplete removal of the thrombus burden and venous endothelial damage incurred by the Fogarty balloon.
The primary goal for thrombolytic therapy includes eliminating the thrombus in order to restore venous blood return while preserving valvular function. 19 Sherry 20 reviewed the results of a multi-institutional study comparing the acute benefits of systemic heparin therapy with systemic thrombolytic therapy using streptokinase (SK). He found that 81% of the patients in the heparin group had persistent venographic occlusion at 1 week compared with 33% in the SK group (33%); partial lysis was 13% in the heparin group compared with 20% in the SK group; and complete lysis was 6% in the heparin group compared with 47% in the lysis group. Overall, 67% of the patients treated with systemic thrombolysis had partial or complete restoration of patency, compared with only 19% in the heparin group. Two prospective studies comparing heparin and SK have assessed the long-term benefit following thrombolysis. Arneson et al 21,22 found the incidence of PTS (at 6.5 years) was 67% in the heparin-treated patient group compared with 23% in the SK-treated patient group. Furthermore, the symptoms were severe (with ulceration) in 17% of the heparin-treated patient group and 0% of the SK-treated patient group. Elliot et al 23 showed that 90% of the patients were symptomatic in the heparin-treated group with 24% having severe symptoms, whereas 45% of the patients in the SK-treated group were symptomatic but only 9% had severe symptoms. Comerota and Aldridge 24 performed a meta-analysis of 13 major studies comparing systemic anticoagulant therapy with systemic thrombolytic therapy; 254 patients treated with heparin therapy showed complete clot lysis in 4% and partial clot lysis in 14%, whereas, 337 patients treated with systemic thrombolytic therapy showed complete clot lysis in 45% and partial clot lysis in 18%.
Despite these encouraging results, the threefold increased risk in major bleeding complication rates, 25 recently reported at 5% (12 of 250) compared with none using heparin alone, 26 has limited the widespread acceptance of systemic thrombolytic therapy for DVT. Also, systemic thrombolytic therapy met with only limited success in patients with extensive IFDVT because only the exposed surfaces of the clot burden interacted with the lytic drug. Acute thrombus is more responsive to lysis with systemic infusion of a lytic drug than is chronic thrombus. Theiss et al 27 found acute occlusions <3 days old responded to lysis 94% of the time, while occlusions 1 to 2 weeks old responded 80% of the time. Occlusions 5 to 8 weeks old had only a 14% response rate to lysis.
In 1994, Semba and Dake 28 provided the initial insight on the potential role of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) using urokinase (UK) in the treatment of IFDVT. They successfully treated 25 of 27 limbs in 21 consecutive patients with CDT. Complete lysis was achieved in 18 patients (72%), partial lysis was achieved in 5 patients (20%), and lysis was unsuccessful in 2 (8%) patients. There were no major complications or clinically detectable PE. The technical and clinical success rates were 85%. At 3 months, 12 limbs were studied with Doppler ultrasonography, and veins were patent in 92%. One patient with a chronic occlusion experienced a recurrent occlusion.
Comerota et al 29 also advocated that the initial treatment of a patient with acute IFDVT should be CDT. This minimally invasive endovascular technique entails embedding a multi-sidehole infusion catheter directly into the thrombus burden for local, intrathrombotic delivery of the lytic drug. The benefits of CDT over systemic thrombolytic therapy are: (a) rapid clearance of the thrombus burden; (b) higher doses of the lytic drug introduced directly into the clot burden, thereby increasing the lytic efficiency; (c) reduction in overall dose and duration of lytic infusion; and (d) decrease in the risk of producing a systemic fibrinolytic state, thereby reducing the major bleeding complication rate.
These encouraging reports resulted in the establishment of the North American Venous Registry to determine the impact of CDT using UK in the treatment of symptomatic lower-extremity DVTs. 30 Between January 1995 and December 1996, 473 patients with symptomatic lower-limb DVT were entered into the registry prospectively. CDT was used for 306 infusions, most commonly via an ipsilateral popliteal venous approach. From conventional venography, clot lysis was graded as follows: Grade I (<50% lysis), Grade II (>50% lysis) or Grade III (complete lysis). Based on follow-up duplex ultrasound examinations, 1-year cumulative primary patencies were calculated for different subgroups and compared using life-table methods. With CDT, significant lysis (>50%) was found in 83%; Grade III lysis in 31%; Grade II in 52%; and Grade I in 17%. In acute DVT limbs, Grade II lysis occurred in 34% and Grade III lysis in 60%, which was significantly greater compared with that achieved in the chronic DVT limbs. The lysis grade obtained after lysis and stenting was a major predictor of continued patency. For Grade III, Grade II, and Grade I lytic outcomes, the 1-year patencies were 79%, 58%, and 32%, respectively ( P <0.001). At 6 months, approximately 70% of limbs with significant lysis (>50%) remained patent; moreover, 90% of limbs with complete lysis remained patent. Reflux at follow-up at 6 months was found in <30% of those with complete lysis, 45% of those with >50% lysis, and >60% with <50% lysis.
Based on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) evaluation, Comerota et al 31 recently reported on the benefits of CDT in patients entered in the venous registry with IFDVT. After thrombolytic therapy, patients reported better overall physical functioning, less stigma, less health distress, and fewer post-thrombotic symptoms compared with similar patients treated with anticoagulation alone. Successful lysis was directly correlated with improved HRQOL, with patients who were classified as thrombolytic failures having similar outcomes to patients treated with heparin alone.
Thrombolytic therapy utilizes a group of medications (classified as plasminogen activators) that enzymatically cleaves circulating serum protein plasminogen into the active protease plasmin. Plasmin functions to disrupt the proteinacious fibrin cross-linked strands that provide the framework for platelet and red blood cell aggregation in a thrombus.
Urokinase (UK) (Abbokinase, Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) acts directly on plasminogen and is derived from neonatal renal cell tissue culture. UK has a relatively lower fibrin affinity/specificity and a longer half-life (14 min) with the reputation of being consistent, predictable, efficacious, and safe. UK has been the lytic drug of choice over streptokinase and tissue plasminogen activator for CDT for IFDVT when fibrin specificity, immunogenicity, major bleeding complication rate, and cost are all considered. 32 A common criticism of CDT using UK for IFDVT has been cost, since it often costs hospitals several thousand dollars for the lytic drug alone and generates large charges to the third party payers. UK was the most widely used lytic drug until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the distribution in late 1998 due to the theoretical risk of transmitting viral disease. 33,34
Streptokinase (Streptase, AstraZeneca Laboratories, Westboro, MA) is a purified derivative from Group C beta-hemolytic streptococci and indirectly activates plasminogen conversion. Anistreplase (Eminase, Roberts Pharmaceuticals, Eatontown, NJ) is the anisoylated stabilized intermediate complex of streptokinase and plasminogen. These complexes are inactivated by circulating antibodies and can be typically used only once in the same patient due to the risk of drug-related fever and antibody reaction (serum sickness) when administered repeatedly. Both are considered first-generation lytic drugs and are not regarded as the optimal replacement for UK due to their antigenicity and inferior efficacy. 32
Alteplase (Activase, Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA) is a recombinant engineered human tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) analog, which has high fibrin affinity/specificity and a short circulating half-life (5 min). Tissue plasminogen activator is a naturally occurring serine protease, which is secreted by vascular endothelial cells and plays a major role in maintaining the normal homeostasis of the blood vessel. The gene sequence that expresses t-PA is isolated and removed from the human melanoma cell line and introduced into the ovarian cell of the Chinese hamster, where sufficient quantities of the protein are produced for commercial use. Only a few trials exist using rt-PA as a systemic lytic drug for the treatment of DVT; however, experience with CDT using rt-PA is emerging. 35,19 While clinical studies have shown efficacy of rt-PA, there remains generalized concern about the risk of adverse bleeding using rt-PA compared with UK, especially in lieu of early trials in which extraordinarily high doses of rt-PA (>2 mg/hr with full heparinization) were utilized for prolonged overnight infusions. 36-39 Because of these concerns, the Advisory Panel on Catheter-Directed Thrombolytic Therapy of the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology recently published initial practice guidelines regarding the dosing of rt-PA and recommends doses far below the initial published experiences of the late 1980s. 39
Reteplase (Retavase, Centocor/ Johnson & Johnson, Malvern, PA) is a new recombinant derivative of tissue plasminogen activator. It is a single-chain protein consisting of 355 of the 527 amino acid sequence in rt-PA. However, by genetically removing the finger, growth factor, and 1 kringle domain, reteplase (R-PA) has less fibrin affinity and increased half-life (15 min) compared with alteplase (rt-PA). The decreased fibrin affinity of R-PA has been perceived as allowing the lytic drug to seep through the clot more easily than rt-PA, but large-scale trials in acute myocardial infarction have shown rt-PA and R-PA to be equivalent in terms of safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes. 40,41 Early clinical experience using R-PA as an alternative to UK is also emerging, and it is likely that its performance will be safe and efficacious for CDT. 42
Tenecteplase (TNKase, Genentech, Inc.), the newest recombinant lytic drug, represents a triple-mutated version of the parent molecule rt-PA. Compared to rt-PA, TNK-tPA possesses enhanced fibrin specificity, a longer half-life, and increased resistance to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. This lytic drug may have potential impact on thrombolytic therapy in the near future.
IFDVT should be documented by conventional venography and/or duplex Doppler ultrasonography (figure 4), although magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are also useful modalities. An inferior vena cava filter should be reserved for those patients with recurrent PE despite anticoagulation or with "free-floating" thrombus in the iliac veins or inferior vena cava.
Baseline coagulation parameters (platelet count, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, serum fibrinogen, hemoglobin, and hematocrit) are obtained, a peripheral arm intravenous line is started, and a Foley urinary bladder catheter is inserted. The ipsilateral popliteal vein is accessed antegrade with a 4F micropuncture set (Cook, Inc., Bloomington, IN) under ultrasound guidance, so the risk of valvular damage is minimized. If there is extensive calf vein and popliteal thrombus, then the posterior tibial or lesser saphenous vein can be used for access. 43,44 A complete ascending venogram is performed (figure 5). A vascular sheath (5F or 6F, depending on the infusion system to be used) is placed. A hydrophilic catheter and hydrophilic guidewire are advanced under fluoroscopy into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and a venocavagram is performed. A multi-sidehole (i.e., Cragg-McNamara infusion catheter, Micro Therapeutics, Inc., Irvine, CA) or multi-slit (i.e., Unistep infusion catheter, Angiodynamics, Inc., Queensbury, NY) infusion catheter with an infusion length that spans the entire thombus burden is placed. Either 0.5 to 1.5 mg/hr of alteplase (rt-PA) or 0.5 to 1.0 mg/hr of reteplase (R-PA) is infused with the dose split between the vascular sheath and the infusion catheter. Heparin should not be mixed with these lytic drugs because of the possibility of precipitation. Subtherapeutic heparin (2500 U bolus, 500 U/hr maintenance) may be administered through the peripheral arm intravenous line. Serum fibrinogen level and partial thromboplastin time are obtained every 6 to 8 hours and are maintained >100 mg/dL and <60 sec, respectively. However, it is important to note that serum fibrinogen values may not be predictive of adverse bleeding. 39
Several scenarios may be seen at the initial follow-up venography (Table 2), usually performed 6 to 12 hours after initiating thrombolysis. After complete or near-complete lysis of the deep vein thrombosis, a residual obstructive lesion is found in the common iliac vein in the majority of the cases, and synechiae may be found in the superficial femoral vein. The synechiae may be disrupted with an angioplasty balloon or mechanical device (figure 6). However, the iliac vein lesion rarely responds to angioplasty alone, and placement of a self-expanding endovascular stent is generally required (figure 7).
Ideally, a stent diameter oversized by 20% deployed flush with the iliocaval junction is an easily attainable goal. The stent is then expanded using the appropriately sized angioplasty balloon. Stenting below the inguinal ligament should typically be avoided, although Semba and Dake 19,28 have not found any untoward sequelae as long as the stent does not extend below the lesser trochanter of the femur.
The overall role of adjunctive mechanical thrombectomy devices is not well defined. Most interventionalists use a maximum duration of therapy with rt-PA of 48 hours but hope to stop earlier since bleeding complications increase over time. 45 The patients should be anticoagulated (INR between 2 and 3) for 6 months following successful lysis. Many authors advocate giving antiplatelet therapy (75 mg Plavix, Bristol-Myers Squibb/Sanofi Pharmaceuticals, New York, NY) for 6 weeks in patients in whom a stent was placed.
The patient should be followed clinically with serial duplex Doppler sonographic imaging performed on the morning after completion of thrombolytic therapy, and then at 6 and 12 months, and annually thereafter.
Although the factors leading to venous thrombosis have been known for over a century, Virchow's initial model of thrombosis has been refined extensively. Activated coagulation is now recognized to be of primary importance in venous thrombogenesis; the concept of venous injury has been expanded to include molecular changes in the endothelium; and stasis has been redefined as a largely permissive factor. Furthermore, it is now clear that venous thrombi undergo a dynamic evolution beginning soon after their formation. The natural history of acute DVT is a balance between recurrent thrombotic events and processes that restore the venous lumen, both of which have important implications for the development of complications.
Although pulmonary embolism is clearly the most life-threatening complication of acute DVT, the long-term socioeconomic consequences of PTS have perhaps been underemphasized in clinical trials. The development of post-thrombotic manifestations is related to both residual venous obstruction and valvular incompetence. Recognition of the factors that contribute to a poor outcome, including recurrent thrombotic events, the rate of recanalization, the global extent of venous reflux, and the anatomic distribution of reflux and obstruction, is important, as there may be therapeutic alternatives to alter the natural history of acute DVT. CDT for acute deep vein thrombosis could provide rapid thrombus clearance with improved lytic efficiency while preserving valvular function and decreasing bleeding complications. The treatment alternatives will continue to expand with the introduction of new therapeutic drugs and mechanical thrombectomy devices. *

Hello David Co. and Others,
I seem to be having a disconnect with the GTD system, and I am hoping you can help...
So, I have my project list and I have my list of next actions organized into contexts.
This works for getting more tasks done across the board, but I am not getting projects done in time now.
I like to take a designated time and work on one project for a long time. This helps me get in the flow and stay focused and sometimes I want to work on one project until completion.
The disconnect that I am having is that when I am working off of my next actions list, I am working on stuff by context not by project. So, by the end of the week I've done a lot of the little steps towards a lot of projects but I have not focused on one project.
Since I like to focus on one project at a time--how do I work my Next Actions list into this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort has about 100 rooms open for business starting today.
Interim building official John Fernandez said inspection reports submitted do not show termite damage is significant enough to not open the rooms.
Eight of the rooms, however, will not be used because of safety issues with the balconies.
The resort, located at 1620 Gulf of Mexico Drive, is reopening three months after it suspended hotel operations, after receiving permission from a federal bankruptcy judge to do so.
But the Colony's association board of directors, which is upset that the 100 units planned for reopening will not be available for owner use, questioned the safety of the buildings.
In federal bankruptcy filings, the association submitted an exhibit on Dec. 2, which reveals Sarasota-based Karins Engineering Group Inc. presented a report to the association in November that shows widespread termite infestation was found in all the buildings. Further investigation of the buildings needs to be performed to determine safety of the resort's continued occupancy, according to the report.
Fernandez, however, never foresaw the town not allowing the Colony to open.
"The Colony already has a certificate of occupancy," Fernandez said. "They shut down voluntarily and can reopen voluntarily."
Colony moving forward
Tampa-based U.S. Bankruptcy Court Middle District of Florida Judge K. Rodney May approved the re-opening of about 100 Colony Beach & Tennis Resort rooms in suites and buildings directly on and closest to the beach earlier this month.
The judge also approved a $175,000 loan Colony Chairman and Owner Dr. Murray "Murf" Klauber has paid to the resort partnership to assist in the resort's re-opening, the hiring and training of about 40 employees, the deposits needed to keep utilities running and the materials needed to advertise the opening.
The Colony is celebrating reopening with special pricing on suites during the December holiday period.

Michelle Alexander on the Irrational Race Bias of the Criminal Justice and Prison Systems By Mark Karlin, Truthout | Interview Wednesday, 01 August 2012 Michelle Alexander wrote a paradigm-shifting exploration of modern racism, the so-called war on drugs and the prison-industrial complex. Mark Karlin: Before we get into the details, is it accurate to characterize your thesis, in a colloquial way, by saying that institutionalized racial casting is alive and even ratcheting up in the United states in 2012? Michelle Alexander: Yes, I do believe that something akin to a racial caste system is alive and well in America. For reasons that have stunningly little to do with crime or crime rates, we, as a nation, have chosen to lock up more than two million people behind bars. Millions more are on probation or parole, or branded felons for life and thus locked into a permanent second-class status. The mass incarceration of poor people of color, particularly black men, has emerged as a new caste system, one specifically designed to address the social, economic, and political challenges of our time. It is, in my view, the moral equivalent of Jim Crow. MK: You identify the key societal perpetuation of the stigmatization of the black male as the so-called "criminal justice system." It appears to have become an accepted bureaucratic injustice. MA: Mass incarceration has become normalized in the United States. Poor folks of color are shuttled from decrepit, underfunded schools to brand new, high tech prisons and then relegated to a permanent undercaste - stigmatized as undeserving of any moral care or concern. Black men in ghetto communities (and many who live in middle class communities) are targeted by the police at early ages, often before they're old enough to vote. They're routinely stopped, frisked, and searched without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Eventually they're arrested, whether they've committed any serious crime or not, and branded criminals or felons for life. Upon release, they're ushered into a parallel social universe in which the civil and human rights supposedly won during the Civil Rights Movement no longer apply to them. For the rest of their lives, they can be denied the right to vote, automatically excluded from juries, and legally discriminated against in employment, housing, access to education and public benefits. So many of the old forms of discrimination that we supposedly left behind during the Jim Crow era are suddenly legal again once you've been branded a felon. That's why I say we haven't ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it. In many large urban areas, the majority of working age African American men now have criminal records and are thus subject to legalized discrimination for the rest of their lives. It is viewed as "normal" in ghetto communities to go to prison or jail. One study conducted in Washington, D.C. indicated that 3 out of 4 black men, and nearly all those living in the poorest neighborhoods could expect to find themselves behind bars at some point in their life. Nationwide, 1 in 3 black men can expect to serve time behind bars, but the rates are far higher in segregated and impoverished black communities. A massive new penal system has emerged in the past few decades - a penal system unprecedented in world history. It is a system driven almost entirely by race and class. for the rest of this interview, go to http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10629-truthout-interviews-michelle-alexander-on-the-irrational-race-bias-of-the-criminal-justice-and-prison-systems ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.
