(This article belongs to the Special Issue Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Research)
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are generated spontaneously in cells; however, under conditions of hyperglycemia and lipid peroxidation, their levels are higher than usual, which contribute to the development of diseases such as the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is associated with oxidative stress (OS), which is linked to the transition of steatosis to steatohepatitis due to lipid peroxidation. The AGE-receptor interaction in hepatic stellate cells leads to an increase in reactive oxygen species and enhances the proliferation and activation of these cells, worsening liver fibrosis and disease progression. In this vicious cycle, there is production of (carboxymethyl)lysine, a biomarker for products of advanced glycation and lipid peroxidation, being a shared component between the two pathways. In this review, we aim to compile evidence to support the basic molecular mechanisms of AGEs and OS generation and their influence, independently or combined, on the evolution of NAFLD. The deeper understanding of the interrelations of AGEs + OS may help to elucidate the pathogenic pathways of NAFLD and to devise rational therapeutic interventions for this disease, with an expected positive impact on quality of life of patients.Keywords:

Global Economy
G20 Growth Strategies
G20 Leaders concluded their summit over the weekend in Brisbane, Australia. G20 summits represent the culmination of a process of preparatory work and discussion that lasts a whole year. Concerns about weak prospects for global growth and job creation took center stage in the G20 agenda this year. Economic recovery in advanced economies has been slow and uneven and growth in the faster-growing emerging economies also has slowed. There is a growing recognition that restoring more robust global growth requires not only addressing the legacies of the global financial crisis but also implementing deeper, structural reforms to raise potential growth.
Against this background, all G20 countries were asked to prepare medium-term growth strategies to provide a systematic framework for addressing policies and priorities in the growth agenda. The strategies that have been prepared are comprehensive in scope, spanning macroeconomic policies and structural reforms to promote strong, sustainable, and balanced growth. They have a particular focus on four policy areas that the Australian G20 Presidency emphasized as key elements of the growth agenda, namely, investment and infrastructure, employment, competition and business environment, and trade. The emphasis in the strategies on investment and structural reforms is appropriate: while the proper calibration of macroeconomic policies is important to support aggregate demand in the short term, in the medium term it is the productivity-enhancing structural reforms and investments that will drive strong and sustainable growth. The strategies have benefited from an extensive process of discussion and peer review within the G20, supported by technical assessments prepared by international organizations. Final versions of these strategies were released yesterday together with the Leaders' Communiqué and the Brisbane Action Plan (which provides an overview of these strategies).

The High Density of Brazilian Production Chains
International trade has undergone a radical transformation in the past decades as production processes have fragmented along cross-border value chains. The Brazilian economy has remained on the fringes of this production revolution, maintaining a very high density of local supply chains. This article calls attention to the rising opportunity costs incurred by such option taken by the country.
Moving Tectonic Plates under the Global Economic Geography
In recent decades, international trade has gone through a revolution, with the wide extension of the organization of production in the form of cross-border value chains. This extension was a result of the reduction of tariff and non-tariff barriers, the incorporation of large swaths of workers in the global market economy in Asia and Central Europe, and technological innovations that allowed modularization and geographic distribution of production stages in a growing universe of activities. International trade has grown faster than world GDP and, within the former, the sales of intermediate products has risen faster than the sale of final goods.
India: From BRICS to Fragile 'n' (and Back!)
India has covered a long distance in what seems like a short time. Once proudly reckoned as one of the BRICS countries, it is now making frequent headlines in the international financial press as one of the financially fragile countries (fragile 5, fragile 8, edgy eight etc.). Like many other emerging markets in the world, India is feeling the pinch of the global liquidity retrenchment and rebalancing on its exchange rate and capital flows. Several observers have rationalized the investors' behavior on account of the hard data on the Indian economy: growth has decelerated (from 8.9 % two years ago to 4.5 percent in fiscal year 2013), current account deficit is reigning high, inflation remains stubbornly high, and savings and investment rates have been falling. And all of this is happening amidst an upcoming national election, when elections anywhere invariably are associated with political and economic uncertainty.
What would it take for India to regain its place in a more revered acronym soon, rather than a less flattering fragile 'n' ensemble?
From shock therapy to sustainable development
Last week I attended the Gaidar Forum in Moscow. Yegor Gaidar was an economist who became the architect of the Russian market economy as deputy prime minister of the Russian Federation in 1992. Like Leszek Balcerowitz in Poland and Vaclav Klaus in Czechoslovakia, Gaidar was a pioneer of the shock therapy: rapid liberalization of prices; opening up of borders to allow free international trade; and privatization of capital. Gaidar died in 2009 at an age of 53. In his memory the Gaidar Forum was organized for the first time in 2010. This was the fifth time the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration organized this annual conference that brings together ministers, academics, and business people.
Global Economic Outlook in One Thousand Words
[All numbers cited in this essay are from the World Bank's latest Global Economic Prospects. The analysis is mine.]
The economic prospect for the world in 2014 is best described as uneventful. It is a strange world we live in that this is the good news. After six years of turmoil marked by financial crises and long stretches of recession in several countries, it is indeed heartening that we are headed for uneventful times with a slow pick-up in global growth.
The world in 2013 grew by 2.4%. We are forecasting a growth of 3.2% in 2014. This is the point forecast. There is a lot that is happening around it, with some countries expected to make a strong recovery, some weak, and some actually slowing. And for each country there are bands of possibilities around their respective point forecasts.
Stuck in transition!
A New Year traditionally comes with upbeat thoughts. New resolutions will make life better. Past mistakes will not be repeated. And calamities are seldom predicted. These positive thoughts are not always justified, but they provide necessary energy during the first cold months of the year all the same.
At the beginning of 2014 some economic optimism actually seems defensible. Five years after the start of the global financial crisis, Europe is finally exiting their recession, albeit slowly and hesitantly. The U.S. economy is accelerating and so is growth of global production and trade. True, the BRICs are no longer as vibrant as they have been for a long time, but growth in China (a key concern of markets in recent days) is still expected to be three and a half times growth in high income countries.
Given the tradition of New Year's optimism it is salient that the EBRD starts the New Year on a rather gloomy note with their new Transition Report. The title of this year's report is "Stuck in transition?." But in the text they change the question mark into a firm exclamation mark, even as the report contains some suggestions of ways to escape the current impasse.
Kaushik Basu on odds of 'L-shaped' recovery
Kaushik Basu has a new piece being carried by Project Syndicate that appeared in The Global Times, one of China's leading English language news sites. Titled 'Policy stasis raises odds of 'L-shaped' recovery', it cautions that the tenuous recovery in advanced countries, while buoyed by the latest US indicators, will only hold if economists and policymakers move away from 'stasis' positions that fail to promote entrepreneurship and innovation.
He warns that avoiding analytical creativity is dangerous and stresses that, at times, intuition and theory are needed to get out of economic ruts and to keep up with the pace of technological change in our globally integrated world.

The end of a long era
Is China, after a hiatus of 150 years, again the largest economy in the world? Not all sources of GDP data agree, but there is little doubt that China is either already now the largest economy, or it will, within a year, become so by overtaking that of the United States. Whichever the case may be, a long era when the American economy was the largest in the world and which began around 1860, is now reaching its end.
Data on gross domestic product (called now Gross Domestic Income) are available from three sources: the Maddison project, which is the only source for the long-run series of national GDPs, going back to 1820s; the World Bank or IMF annual data, going back to 1960; and Penn World Tables, produced periodically at the University of Pennsylvania, going back from their just-released version 8.0 to 1950 . All three sources produce GDP data in PPP (purchasing power parity) terms, which means that they adjust for differences in price levels between the countries. The easiest way to explain it is to say that PPPs try to account for each good and service using the same price for it around the world, so that a mobile phone, a kilo of rice and a haircut would each be valued the same in China as in the United States. Only thus can the real sizes of the economies, and the welfare of people, be truly comparable. These PPP data, in turn, are obtained through a massive worldwide project called the International Comparison Program, which is run every five to 10 years and collects more than 1,000 prices in all countries.
World Economy – a glass half empty or half full?
As Kaushik Basu said yesterday, downside risks to the global economy have diminished, market conditions look better, borrowing costs in advanced economies are down from worrying levels seen last June, and developing country growth is still in the 5 percent range. Yet this improvement is transmitting to the real side very minimally.
That was just one of the takeaways from Global Economic Prospects 2013, launched January 15. A new-look global outlook site allows users to access a wealth of analysis, forecasts and data for the world's economies.

Present day. Now, in this definitive biography, the nature and motives of this legendary and controversial military genius are at last explored. Delving into the complex personality of the gruff and charismatic general, Marszalek explores Sherman's life as a series of struggles for order. A rootless childhood, shaped by his father's early death and the ensuing separation from his mother, compelled Sherman to fight instability with a passion bred of personal loss and.
Uncertainty. Even the hallmarks of democracy - a free press and unfettered public opinion - he considered troublesome obstacles to his efficient military pursuits. Convinced of the necessity of preserving the complete union of all states, he fought the "anarchic" Confederate secession despite his love for the South, where he had lived. His crusade for control carried over to his personal life, where he balked at what he considered the vaguely defined role of husband and.
Father. He rarely resided with his wife, feeling most comfortable when his position was established by official rank, in the company of his troops or as a public luminary adored by the great political and artistic figures of his time. Marszalek's full-scale biography richly captures not only the Civil War, but the entire extraordinary life of this man who attended West Point, fought in the Indian Wars, experienced the Gold Rush in San Francisco, was involved in the.
Construction of the transcontinental railroad, worked as a banker, teacher, and public speaker, and turned away repeated calls that he run for President. From his birth in Ohio in 1820 to his death in New York in 1891, Sherman's tumultuous life spans the sweeping transformations of the nineteenth century.

The paintings were never completed, leaving the under-drawing visible. The style is that of Jan van Scorel, the leading painter in the northern Netherlands during the 1530s. A trip in 1519-24 to Venice, the Holy Land, and Rome influenced Van Scorel's development of sculpted faces and misty, fantasy landscapes.

Every new head football coach talks about building a successful program, but few have the chance to create believers as quickly as Wayne Lawrence did.
Two months after taking over at Titusville High, Lawrence and the Terriers unveiled a new quick-strike offense in their spring game against East River, a 28-26 win for Lawrence and his players. If two months seemed quick to produce results, consider this: it took only 1:36 of clock time for quarterback Josh Wayner to lead his team down the field and throw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Mack.

Hello! I would like your help in cloning an aloe vera plant, I haven't found anything really helpful on google and I've been recommended to ask for help in this forum. =] So do any of you know how I can clone an aloe vera plant? I've read that I have to cut a leaf of the aloe and leave it to heal for 24 hours and then plant it in a pot but it seems completely crazy to plant a LEAF... If you have photos to share or even better; videos that could help me I will greatly appreciate it! Any info on this is totally welcome! =] Thanks & have a nice day!
Well, the leaf is the whole plant. There is no 'stem'' in an aloe vera is there? Most succulents will root like crazy. I think the technique you described will work. Why not just try it? Then you'll know. The plants we clone here are very different from AV.
Thanks for the information, I suppose I'll give it a go later on although I am still quite unsure about it working. Thanks again! =]
its basically as simple as it sounds... break/cut off one of the leaves/blades and let the cut dry out... then put it in the dirt. it will make roots soon thereafter... btw: we do have a section a little further down the main page for gardening plants other than mj; i'll move this thread there... it'll take longer, but you will get some better responses there. welcome to RIU, home of the helpful stoners
Hello, There are lots of Aloe Vera plants in my house.. Clone means grow new from existing? I just take one Aloe and put it in another pot it grew without doing anything hard.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, cloning means grow new from existing or "exact copy" from "original", I guess. So you took just one aloe leaf and planted it in another pot? Did roots grow from the leaf and did more leaves grow? Like if you originally took the one leaf from an aloe vera plant with 8 leaves, did the "clone" grow 7 other leaves? Thank you all for your help! =]
i have never tried taking a cutting from aloe; but i have with other kinds of cacti.... for a good while, its just gonna look like a leaf stuck in the dirt, but it is forming roots, and soon enough a lil baby aloe plant will pop up next to it, (from the roots) just as the whole plants reproduce.... and evidently drying for 24 hrs is enough healing time on the cut... http://en.allexperts.com/q/House-Plants-721/Aloe-vera.htm
That's fantastic! Thanks a lot! =]] I'll definitely try that out ASAP, thanks again! =] I was a little pessimistic at first because planting a leaf does sound weird to me but I'm very optimistic now that you shared your experience with me! I really appreciate your help! =]
not a problem at all.... you're gonna get addicted; cacti and succulents are really cool. cactus can make some of the prettiest flowers you have ever seen.
yes, plant the leaf. It will root and become a full plant. It does take a while so be patient. those little tikes are from the mother above. Yes, it is true that you can propagate or clone your Aloe vera by taking a healthy leaf cutting, letting it heal for about 24 hours, and then inserting it into a small pot filled with a very porous potting mix. Keep the mix barely damp and in bright indirect light for 4-6 weeks until it is well rooted. Then move it to brighter light.
Aloe Dude- Glad you were able to make it over to the "dark side" here. Anyway, I have an aloe plant that never seemed to grow very tall but it does gow new leaves and get bigger. One day I noticed it seemed to be growing a new, smaller plant in the pot. When I pulled on it, it had a small root. I stuck it in another pot and gave it to my mom, now she has aloe! Basically, it seems that this plant should clone real easily. Good luck dude!
yep thats what happened to mine a few years ago midwest. now every year i get around 30 new plants from 1 of the mothers i have.. we have aloes all over the house. will add pics if anyone wants. its actually nearly time to seperate and re-pot them soon...
wow when i clicked on this thread i was skeptical of this working, or that no one would have too much info. but this is good stuff. i am gonna clone my aloe tonight!
the aloe roots so ez i wonder if it would make a good cloning hormone, if anyone knows info on this pm me on it maybe the skin is where the hormones are ...........
once you get roots,give it some miracle grow patio plant food.My aloes grew very slow,but once i gave them that,they really took off.

Name: Gingitsune Kaen
Age: 324 (Appears to be in his early-twenties)
Sex: Male
Species: Shinigami
Alliance: 5th Division Captain
Appearance: Captain Gingitsune Kaen stands at a very modest 5'10" and weighs about 135 pounds - all of it is toned muscle. This slender form is often taken as a sign of weakness by those who don't know Kaen's capabilities, but his friends and comrades know that a surprising quickness and strength hides within his frame. His brown hair is cut in a style called a "buzz-cut" in the real world, and that small amount of hair is barely visible under a black skull-cap with a red bulls-eye on the front. His light brown eyes are almost the same color as his tan skin, which makes them somewhat disarming should he begin to stare at someone. In both ears are dozens of piercings that Kaen has designed himself, but the skull-cap covers all but the bottom few. The charms that show when his hat is on are mostly ornate silver rings th

Whole NumbersX and Y are meant to be,Whole Numbers4 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
As arithmetic has always shown.
But it's this that's made me wholly see
A formula before unknown.
Thus I struggle sorely to impute
Any form of logic to this love.
I cannot manage to compute
What this racing heart's indicative of.
To my dismay, I cannot derive,
Any sense to this new affection.
But it's this very confusion that keeps me alive,
Though I desperately fear a certain rejection.
By parenthesis, we're set apart,
Such a hopeless equation I long to pursue.
But I hope someday to hold your heart,
And I vow with conviction I'll factor through.
Whole numbers are what I once desired,
In such a sum I yearned to be.
But integers are dull and tired
And this repeating decimal intrigues me.
All I required, I learned not in school,
The only whole number that matters is "2".
I don't care about timeworn theorems and rules-
I want to add with you.

Now before you get up in arms about this let me say something first.
At one time I considered reading it and I actually did read it eventually when a friend of mine, who actually is not a friend anymore, suggested I should. Well I did read it. I read a LOT of the pages. Over 1000 or so. I started out with the trolls because "it's not good until you reach them". So I started reading from there.
Edit: As of November 9th I have read the comic from the beginning... yeah still boring.
I can say this... I didn't see what the big deal was. Most of the time the characters would sit in their houses and chat on the computer.

So not quiet, then, but certainly uncomfortable. She avoids my eyes, fingering the roses on her lap. Everything in hospitals is blue-and-white, a sick, sterile periwinkle that I suppose is supposed to be cheery. The sheets leach the red from the roses. I'm blue, anorex-da-ba-di.

My fingers were numb by the time I got to Catherines house. I had the heater up full blast, angled towards my hands, and it was only starting to help. I pulled my shiny new SUV into the driveway that was already covered in two inches of snow. I loved having four wheel drive. Catherine was already waiting on her front doorstep, and she sprinted up as I parked my car. She held her hat on as she ran with her white scarf trailing out behind her. She yanked open the door, a big goofy grin on her face.
Hey Kitcat! were the only words that escaped my mouth before a snowball hit me square in the face. Aweee Cat, I whined. It went down my shirt! I did a little dance in my seat, pulling on my sweater trying to get the snow to come out the bottom. She did nothing but laugh at me. Hey, its not funny, I just got warm! I protested.

Do not write love poems.
Forgive yourself for the one morning you didn't kiss him awake while the alarm clock rang.
Let yourself cry when you realise you don't remember the last time he said "I love you".
And again, when you know exactly when you said "I love you" last, and it didn't matter to him anymore.
And again.
And again.
Do not count days between the last time he saw you naked and the night he told you he hadn't been happy for months.
And don't ask yourself what that last time meant to him.
Delete the songs you know you'll never be able to listen to again.
And his number from your phone.
And the text in which he calls you sweetie, and asks when you'll be home.
Save the emails in which he tells you that you're the most beautiful girl in the world, but promise yourself not to read them for at least ten years. It will still hurt then, but it will hurt less.
Avoid the bus that you took to get to him.

A hug is a wonderful gift to share,
A way to show each other that we care;
There is so much a hug is able to do,
When you feel those arms holding you.
A hug is a place to feel safe and warm,
A comfort for a sad heart that is torn;
An expression of the love in our heart,
For ones who we wish, never to be apart.
A hug is a greeting when we meet to say hello,
Or to say goodbye when we have to go;
It can hold us up when life gets us down,
And makes us smile, instead of frown.
A hug can be given for no reason at all,
And given to those, both big and small;
We're never too old to feel the joy it brings,
As it is one of life's most pleasing things.
And for all of this beauty, a hug is free!
It costs nothing, yet means so much to me;
We should all hug another to show we care,
For to feel a warm hug, nothing can compare.
Here's Your Hug from ME to YOU
All for just one reason and that is
A good day to you!

OK - not a beginner, but I'm just about to fuse a coat made of wool gabardine and suddenly I wasn't sure which was the "correct" side. Is it the side with the obvious diagonal twill or is it the side that looks more matte? Thanks!
The face has the twill and the back side looks more like a plain weave. The "correct" side in any fabric is of course whichever you want to use .
------Liz thefittinglife.blogspot.com
The right side has the obvious diagonal twill and if you wear the garment the diagonal twill runs from the left at the hem and the diagonal twill ends at right at the shoulder. Think about writing which you do from left to right.Running the twill this way makes the gabardine twill the most pleasant way to look at. .........// .......// .....// ...// .//

The Obama administration is facing intensified pressure to find former CIA contractor Robert Levinson - both from US lawmakers and the Levinson family - nearly seven years after he disappeared in Iran during what now has been revealed as an unofficial spy mission.
Levinson's family urged the government "to step up and take care of one of its own." Members of Congress said they wanted to know more about the case, which led to three veteran analysts being forced out of the agency and seven others being disciplined.
Levinson vanished after a March 2007 meeting with an admitted killer on Kish Island, an Iranian resort. For years, the US publicly described him as a private citizen who traveled to the tiny Persian Gulf island on business.
But an Associated Press investigation revealed that Levinson actually was a contractor working for the CIA, and was paid by a team of agency analysts who were acting without authority to run spy operations to gather intelligence.
If he is still alive at age 65, Levinson has been captive longer than any other American known to be held overseas.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Levinson, who retired after 28 years at the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration, was not a US employee at the time of his disappearance. A contractor would not be considered a government employee.
Carney declined to discuss the case in detail but said numerous US officials, including President Barack Obama, have pressed Iran for help on finding and returning Levinson.
"Since Bob disappeared, the US government has vigorously pursued and continues to pursue all investigative leads, as we would with any American citizen missing or detained overseas," Carney said Friday. "We continue to be focused on doing everything we can to bring Bob home safely to his family. This remains a top priority of the US government."
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said the US believes Levinson is alive and is being held by the Quds Force, which is the special operations wing of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
"He is in the custody of some pretty bad people," Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers, a Republican, told Fox News.
Other lawmakers said they would seek more answers in Levinson's case, and his family in Florida pleaded for the government to do more.
"After nearly seven years, our family should not be struggling to get through each day without this wonderful, caring man that we love so much," the family said in a statement.
Soon after his disappearance, the FBI began asking about Levinson's mission, and the CIA started a formal inquiry into whether anyone at the agency had sent Levinson to Iran or whether he was working for the CIA at the time.
CIA analysts acknowledged he had done some work for them but said his contract was out of money. The CIA then told the FBI and Congress that the agency had no current relationship with Levinson, and there was no connection to Iran, according to numerous US officials.
But in October 2007, emails uncovered between Levinson and CIA analyst Anne Jablonski revealed the agency had been involved with his mission to Iran.
CIA managers said their own employees had lied to them, and assigned its internal security team to investigate. That inquiry quickly determined that the agency was responsible for Levinson while he was in Iran, according to a former official familiar with the review.
In an email sent in mid-2006, Jablonski discusses the work arrangement between Levinson and the CIA.
"You'd have SO enjoyed being a fly on the wall today in our meeting about you," Jablonski wrote to Levinson, according to an email excerpt that was first reported Friday by The New York Times and verified to the AP by an independent person who has seen the document.
"Everyone was so happy about the info but just freaking out about how to NOT piss off our ops colleagues for doing a better job than they do. Seriously - we have to tread carefully here."
The Justice Department investigated possible criminal charges against Jablonski
The Justice Department investigated possible criminal charges against Jablonski and another CIA officer. However, charges were never pursued, in part because a criminal case could have revealed the story behind Levinson's disappearance, current and former officials said.
The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the sensitive case.
Jablonski and two others were forced out. The CIA paid Levinson's family about $120,000, the value of the new contract the agency was preparing for him when he left for Iran, and the government gave the family a $2.5 million annuity, which provides tax-free income, multiple people briefed on the deal said. No one wanted a lawsuit that would air the secret details
Officially, the investigation remains open.
Asked about Levinson Friday in Israel, Secretary of State John Kerry said he has raised the question of the contractor's whereabouts with Iranian officials, but he declined to describe those discussions. "We will continue to try to seek his release and return to the United States," Kerry told reporters.
At least two lawmakers in Congress said they would seek more information on Levinson's case from the government. Others, however, criticised the AP report as potentially putting Levinson's life in danger or slowing his release.
"We now need to make sure that everyone, jointly in the government, is working to make sure that he comes home," said Rep. Ted Deutch, a Democrat and a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee who represents the district where Levinson's family lives.
"There is a father and husband who is the longest-held American hostage, and we all need to work together to make sure that he comes home safely. This is an issue that should matter to everyone in this country."
Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat and a senior member of the House Intelligence Committee, said he would "be seeking an update as soon as possible on the Robert Levinson case from the intelligence community, and hope there may be a new window opening in which we can get answers from Iran."
The AP first confirmed Levinson's CIA ties in 2010 and continued investigating. It agreed three times to delay publishing the current story because the government said it was pursuing promising leads to get him home.
The AP is reporting the story now because, nearly seven years after his disappearance, those leads have repeatedly come up empty.
The government has not received any sign of life since photos and a video in late 2010 and early 2011. Top US officials, meanwhile, say his captors almost certainly already know about his CIA association.
"I hope this information does not impede the release of Mr. Levinson in any way," said Sen. Saxby Chambliss, top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee. "Many in the intelligence community believe this will push his captors to take his life. I pray this is not the case. The US government is doing everything within its power to find Mr. Levinson and bring him home."
Carney called the AP report "highly irresponsible."

It's strangely appropriate that a hammer should be the weapon of choice for video gaming's most famous blue-collar hero. It's not ostentatious, nor is it excessively violent, yet it gets the job done. A recurring power-up in the Mario games, the hammer first appeared in the original Donkey Kong way back in 1981. It is a formidable, taxing game, but the hammer gives you a fighting chance. It's a defensive weapon, used to protect Mario from the barrage of tumbling objects hurled by the irascible primate: it can destroy barrels, put out fires, and disperse piles of sand. But like so many of the great weapons, it has disadvantages: Mario can't climb a ladder while carrying the tool, and he still remains vulnerable from behind. But its strengths outweigh this shortcoming.

Snowboarder vs Tree
I just found this forum tonight and figured it would be a good place to share my story. Back in February, I snowboarded into a tree at Breckenridge to avoid hitting someone in front of me. I severely fractured my right fibula and tibia and almost lost my foot. I had two surgeries to get two plates and 19 screws installed in both bones. I also had to get a skin transplant to help a wound heal.
Fast forward to last week, I found out that I broke both surgical implants during my physical therapy. I'm back to ground zero, facing my third surgery in a few weeks. I was dying to get back on my board next February, but it looks like that's going to be pushed back. Anyone else have any problems like this? I've been keeping a stupid blog up to date since February, mainly to share all of the gross pictures with friends and family. I was in an external fixator for a while. You can get to it at Snowboarder vs. Tree. |
That's why when your going to hit a tree, lean back and throw the board out from under you to take the impact.

Getting your board in front of you is fine and dandy but it isn't always an option. Sounds like in this instance, riding in "control" would have served the OP better. If you have to take such a drastic measure to avoid hitting someone, control wasn't there. All above things given, probably a better choice to do what he did. Colliding with someone unexpectedly could kill. Good luck with the recovery. Sounds like it's going to be a bitch, but you will eventually put it behind you and you'll get back to riding at some point.
Ouch dude! Best of luck to you and your recovery! I think it's awesome that you wanna ride still. A lot of people would use something like that as an excuse to quit.
i was definitely not in control. i was leading with my switch foot for practice going way too fast. i got on my ass about a second before i hit the tree and took the entire impact with my board under my right foot. lesson learned the extremely hard way. i would have been able to avoid all collisions had i been leading with my right foot. sucks.
Owch! Just stay in control when snowboarding in a sketchy place. If you don't feel comfortable, don't get into dangerous situations
Update after third surgery
Just got out of the hospital a few days ago. Went great. Here are the pics of my brand spanking new external fixator.
thanks for all the wishes to a good recovery. definitely going to be sure not to go so fast on switch or not in control near other skiers and boarders. |

Oh that looks very nasty. You are going to have some really kewl scars though, and chicks dig scars...
the scars are going to be awesome
i would have either hit the person. or fallen over.

Reversible Cable Muffler in 18/40NM heavy dk wt cash/silk navyMonday 23 July 2012 8:08:48 am Made using the Churchmouse Yarns and Teas pattern which I obtained free from an old newsletter. I kept the same number of stitches with the finer yarn to get a long scarf, but it would be easy to widen the muffler if you wanted. It used much less than one cone-- the whole cone would make a long, long scarf! Elegant and very soft to wear. The photo's colour is washed out, it is a lovely rich navy blue. |

This is my first project using colormart yarn. It is extra fine merino DK in baby pink. I finished the set early this year but I was just too busy with my new born to upload pictures till now. |

Made this with the Mistral DK in the Malva colourway for my BFF Nancy and it's just gorgeous! It's our 50th B-days coming up and I have always promised to make her something wearable. (Shawls don't seem to count for some reason!) |

Re^4: Removing nested div Tag from HTMLby mr_p (Scribe) |
on Aug 19, 2011 at 15:02 UTC ( #921264=note: print w/ replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
I tried the HTML::Tree, but It only gets me the content of the tag. I would need to pull out the whole tag with all tags inside it and remove a specific tag based on attribute. Is it possible to do this with HTML::Tree?
