Please pardon the dust while I figure out how the heck to reconstruct the rabidrunner blog. Needs something. Botox, nose job, augmentation... something. The old template was shared from some nice person who wanted to share blogger templates. This nice person decided not to be nice anymore and removed it. So give me a few days to figure out what to do next.
I figured, however, that most of you are using the googley reader at www.google.com/reader - so the template is hardly necessary or even noticed. Not using www.google.com/reader? Get with the times!
In other news, the rabidrunner has parked www.rabidrunner.com! From now on, you can open your browser of choice and type www.rabidrunner.com to get to the rabidrunner blog.
Neat, huh!?
I had ravenous jealousy thoughts over someone else having www.rabidrunner.com, so I took matters in my own pocket. It'll cost me a whole 10 bucks a year... might have to start selling advertising to cover my new expenses.
Anyone have something they wanna sell?

- Wedding: July 2013
hahaha…sooooo everyone has their own way of describing that one special moment when the world stopped spinning, and your life came to a halt, and the man of their dreams got down on one knee and POPPED THE QUESTION…some of you ladies may say that their proposal was an elaborate execution of events that all led to the shiny ring…some may say that it was when they least expected it at the site of their first date, some may say they went through a treasure hunt, and some may say that it was the most personal private most perfect moment they could have imagined, and that ladies…is how i would like to describe mine…
it was the evening of December 11th, 2011, an evening that Marcus and I had decided to go Christmas Shopping. In the middle of searching for gifts, of course my eyes were attracted to the shiny display of ……ringssss…..lol. I found myself getting closer and closer to the display case, and marcus followed suit. Asking me subtle questions about my preference in rings. He then suggested we go to two ring stores…one in which we found the most perfect champange diamond that we had ever seen…but the setting wasnt perfect, so he then suggested to me that we could eventually find the perfect setting, if i felt that that was the perfect stone..of course i said no..i think i wanted that element of surprise..i wanted HIM..to make the decision..well the RIGHT decision..hahaha…
we end up walking over to another jewerly store, where we were given a small tutorial on diamonds….never before had i seen such shiny gorgeous creations! & then i hear marcus ask, what do you think about this one…it was a white and rose gold antique ring inspired gorgeousness of a piece! of course i FELL IN LOVE! but then..the lady suggested that they could create a custom one for me…ugghhh why would they say that….when it's so hard to decide on a ring that youre going to wear for the REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!! haha…what i loved the most about the antique inspired ring was that it looked like heirloom that you could pass down to your future daughter, and marcus agreed.
we left the store after marcus had signed up for a credit check at that store..hmm, and right before I was getting ready to get into my car at his house, he told me to wait, i was confused, because we had already said our goodbyes. You see, Marcus and I have always lived away from each other…long distance if you may. So every time we see eachother, one of us has to say bye and make a drive at the end of the night, this night was no different, or so i thought…he told me to wait, he grabbed my bags, from christmas shopping, and took a long sigh and kissed my forehead…i was confused. and then he said…"ever since the first day that i said the words "i love you" to you, i knew you were the one, and the next thing i know…he is down on one knee…asking me to MARRY HIM!!!!!..wait huhhhhhhh….yesss im ready, but huhhhh….we had talked about maybe getting engaged when he got back from bootcamp, because he was about to be leaving for 4 months…but wait..huhhhh….we just took a look at rings…….wait..whattt…and my reaction was "are you seriousss?!?!" hahahah
he pulls out THE RING…ladies…THEEEE RINGGGG..theeee antique inspired ringggggggggggggggggggg…the one that he had suggested to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…yesss! hahahaa…THAT RING!!!
he then told me to call my dad..which i hessitated, because i knew my dad is old school and would have wanted nothing more than to be asked for my hand in marriage…i kept telling marcus that i wasnt going to call my dad, and when he asked why i told him, and he finally said…"i already asked him!!!!! wait huhhhhhh….
So i called my dad..and to make a long story short..he confused me…because he got mad…he understood over the phone that marcus had just proposed and that we were going away to get eloped?!?! HUHHHHHHHHHHHH…..hahahaha..oh boyyyy..when i told him that he had just PROPOSED and we werent going to get married for another year and a half….he then changed his tone to being the most excited father in the world! hahahaa
so there you have it…marcus proposed in the parking lot…beneath the moonlit floor…and with a kiss we sealed the proposal….just him and i, so intimate, so personal, so romantic, especially since i know he is a very private person! i love my fiance!!
& here is this beauty..

COLUMBUS -- A Lorain lawmaker has re-introduced legislation that is intended to help Ohio's growing brewing industry by allowing the production and sale of beer containing up to 21-percent alcohol by volume (ABV).
"The brewing industry is one of the few sectors that continued to experience growth through the recession. It is time Ohio abandons unnecessary regulations that put us at a competitive disadvantage with other states and do whatever we can to encourage the further growth of these businesses," said Rep. Ramos D-Lorain.
More than 100,000 people are employed nationally by craft brewers. To bill calls for a one year delay period to allow Ohio businesses to create products in the 12-21 percent ABV category to compete with out-of-state breweries that already sell similar products.
"With other higher-proof options already available on Ohio's store shelves, often at a cheaper cost to the consumer, this archaic government regulation just doesn't make sense," said Rep. Ramos. "It needlessly holds back Ohio brewers from having the freedom to experiment with new products, a restriction not faced by brewers in neighboring states."
Nationally, fewer than 10 states limit the allowable ABV in beer and of Ohio's neighboring states, only West Virginia has a set maximum. Under current Ohio law, beer produced or sold in the state is restricted to 12 percent ABV. Ohio last raised its ABV cap in 2002, from 6 percent to 12 percent alcohol by volume.
This legislation was first introduced for consideration in 2011. It has gained strong bipartisan support with 20 co-sponsors from across the state. The bill is expected to be given a number and referred to committee for consideration.

Fish behaviors vary; so do ways to foil them
The last few weeks of July and the beginning portion of August typically mark what many anglers refer to as the "dog days" of summer.
In the world of angling, warm water temperatures can cause fish to seek refuge in deeper, cooler environments and become somewhat inactive. However, as everyone knows, this summer has been anything but typical.
During an average summer, surface temperatures have climbed another eight to ten degrees higher than the current water temperatures on our area lakes. A few cold fronts coupled with very cool nights has kept the water temperature quite low and more characteristic of what is seen in late May or early June.
Yet fish activity isn't solely based upon water temperature. And even though surface temperature can fluctuate somewhat rapidly, the layers of water beneath the surface take much longer to heat or cool.
One assumption that many anglers make is that when the water warms to a certain point, fish of all species simply head to deep water. This is definitely not the case. Remember, we're talking about fish and whenever someone uses the words "all", "always" or "never" in a statement concerning fish behavior there's a good chance another angler can prove the theory invalid.
For instance, it definitely is true that walleye will wander into deep water during this time of year. However, every walleye in the lake won't simply gather in a deep pool. There will still be fish that wander shallow and medial depths in search of forage, since there are usually minnows or smaller fish to prey upon in shallow, mid-depth and deep areas.
Walleye are the focus of many anglers in the Park Rapids area. And sometimes an angler's own predictions about fish behavior can actually hinder their own success.
For instance, many people believe the low light hours are best for catching walleye, which for the most part is true. But as I watched a school of walleye (five or six fish) wander through five feet of water on a sunny, calm afternoon this week, then plucked one out of the bunch on a plastic worm primarily used to catch bass, I reflected upon how truly strange fish can be.
In other words, patterns and predictions are worthy, but sometimes different areas, presentations and techniques foil the fish, even though it doesn't seem to make sense.
Funny thing, going back to the idea that walleye prefer lowlight conditions for activity and feeding. Two of the more popular lakes in the area, Potato Lake and Long Lake, produce some great walleye action, even in the middle of the day. In fact, some of my best days of walleye fishing on these two lakes have been right around noon on bright sunny days.
And the largest walleye I've ever caught was in 8 feet of water on a hot, calm day in August. Ironically, I was fishing for smallmouth bass, not for a trophy walleye. I guess you never know, especially during a summer like this, how much activity or inactivity the "dog days" of summer will provide.

Cat Veterinary
Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
I don't think that rabies would be my first consideration with this. This sounds much more like something has created a state of high anxiety in her. It's not going to be possible to say what without knowing the details of her daily life and recent adventures. That might even be difficult for you. But something has happened to make her skittish. Cats are very observant creatures and your other cats have noticed her body language and have responded with some signs themselves.
Very often the types of things to cause this behaviour are alterations in the cat's immediate surroundings. So this may mean altered cat activity outside, a new neighbourhood dog, etc.
Her passing the stool in the living room is a common manifestation of anxiety in cats, well recognised. We call it misplaced defecation.
It's still worthwhile having her assessed by your vet because illness can cause anxiety in cats but I feel her problem is more psychological than physiological.
It may be worthwhile talking to your vet about anti-anxiety treatment if this should persist. You should also consider obtaining some Feliway. This product is available on the internet, at pet supplies and from your vet. It is a spray that contains cat pheromones. Cats produce these chemicals from specialised chin glands. You will see them rubbing their chin on household objects, effectively marking these as "safe zones". So you can use the Feliway to mark your home as such. This reduces the anxiety. The product is safe and odourless to humans. This is the first step you should take. http://www.feliway.uk.com/ So don't get too worried at this stage.
I hope I've been of some assistance.
Kindest regards, Peter

Washington • U.S. builders broke ground on homes at the fastest pace in more than five years, strong evidence that the housing recovery is accelerating despite higher mortgage rates.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that developers began construction on houses and apartments in November at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.09 million. That's 23 percent more than October's pace of 889,000 and the fastest since February 2008, just a few months after the recession began.
Construction of single-family homes jumped 21 percent to an annual pace of 727,000, also the highest in more than five years. Apartment construction soared 26 percent to a 354,000 annual pace.

Before there was Tim Duncan, Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, and Kevin Garnett, there was Karl Malone.
For 18 years he poured his heart and soul for the Utah Jazz and became an unstoppable force in the paint. He, along with John Stockton, made the Jazz a perennial playoff team and even guided Utah to the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998. And though he never won an NBA title, he is considered one of the best power forwards to even grace the hardwood.
Though his career with Utah will always be tied to Stockton, he made a mark in the NBA and with the Jazz and was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2010 and was a part of the 1992 Olympic "Dream Team."

I like the 3rd and 4th photos, but Cap doesn't need a redesign. Albeit, I did like his Commander Rogers gimmick.
Damn, all of those are spectacular costumes. I'm really digging the second and fourth ones.

Nah, He doesn't need a redesign. Although I do like the 3rd one (without the green shirt).
@spiderbat87: I'm not going to say that his costume is timeless, it's already been updated several times and if the new 52's Superman shows anything it's that no costume is untouchable or sacred. That being said the more absurd parts of his costume are fine for now and won't have to be changed or disposed of until the present hits so hard that even capes are outlawed. This is comics and ridiculous costumes are a large part of the genre until that changes the less serious parts of his costume are fine

change the third one's green parts to blue and its okay. but, the rest are too ridiculous for words, especially the last one. But anyway his costume is fine the way it is now.
@BlackArmor: Even Ultimate, Bucky and AoX had better costumes
I say keep him in this one, simple and effective.
@spiderbat87: The AoX costume is my favourite by far.
@Aiden Cross: Agreed, it's simplistic yet effective.
@spiderbat87: Those were better costumes, I just don't think Cap needs a new one, I won't complain if h gets one and I don't see a problem with it but I allso don't see a problem with his current one, I think Ironman gets 2 new costumes in the next few months, the non Magnetic one for AVX and the Tron one from his own series, So I'm sure Cap will at least get an update on his current one sometime soon and I'm neither excited nor sad about it
Frankly, i think Cap's costume looks much better without the headgear. But that goes for a lot of characters like Cyclops and Gambit etc.
Now hold on a second, I don't care if Cap gets updated but all cowls everywhere make everything better, I don't particularly like Gambit's......thing, but Cap and Cyke's cowls are awesome, as are all cowls I have ever encountered in comics.

He wouldn't need a redesign if Marvel wasn't so typical and just let Bucky be Captain America.
I can see the last one as like a Captain America 2099 Version its pretty epic
You like the fish scales, pirate boots and big gloves?
He doesn't need a redesign but if he needs one and gets one I don't think that it should be any of these.
@X35: Well, it could also mean Australia, Afghanistan (iroooony :p), Austria, Azerbaijan, Antartica or Aruba :p
@X35 said:
Anyone remember this "gem"?
I think if they rebooted 2099 thy should use the last costume...Anyway why was he a phony? ;o

There was actually a Cap 2099! He was a villain and a big phony!!

@TheCheeseStabber: Cap 2099? you don't really find out, Warren Ellis quit along with most of the 2099 writers after the 2099 editor was fired. All the 2099 comics went downhill and were cancelled soon afterwards. The story was concluded really rushed.......with doom getting revenge i think he was ate alive my termites or something like that? it was baaaaaad.
But the Warren Ellis stuff is really great (Doom 2099 #26-35 and then 2099 Apocalypse #1)........Spider-Man 2099 is ok too iirc.....just the minute Peter David quit it got unbelievably bad (with Spider-Man 2099 lifting Thor's hammer and becoming a god :|). Punisher 2099 on the other hand was pretty crap though.

Off-season shakedown
Dave Simms says the Devils bullied the Blaze and wonders what's next for Nottingham.
By Dave Simms
Last Updated: 12/06/13 11:18am
Some are easy to read, some a little more difficult. Some stick to their guns and some have to change tack a little. One of those teams that have had to make a change is the Coventry Blaze, while the one that is the hardest to read is the Nottingham Panthers.
The Cardiff Devils normally do their bullying in season. That small rink in Wales has been the home to some of the biggest bullies the EIHL has ever seen. This off-season, the Coventry Blaze have been bullied by Gerad Adams and Cardiff. Former Sheffield forward Ashley Tait has been the biggest benefactor in this process, signing a new two-year contract with the Blaze, a side he previously captained to a Grand Slam.
I thought Tait would move to Nottingham. I still can't quite understand why he didn't. Nottingham lost Matthew Myers and there simply isn't another British forward who can play on a top nine of any top team available. Sure at 38 years old Ash wasn't in his prime but a quick one-year fix for the Panthers would have bought the Nottingham management 12 months to find the long term Myers replacement.
The Coventry Blaze in recent years have offloaded their experienced and expensive home grown talent such as Jonathan Weaver, Greg Owen and Robert Farmer. The Blaze view was that they were overpaying for non-difference makers, so Coventry threw their money into their 11 import signings, guys who their then head coach Paul Thompson felt were the go-to-guys who would put the points on the board and win matches. This worked for them last season and I honestly believe was their policy again this summer.
That was until Cardiff signed Myers. The Blaze, already chasing Belfast, Nottingham and Sheffield saw Cardiff as their par club, a team they could compete with for fourth place in the EIHL standings. Cardiff laid down their intent for the year ahead with the Myers signing and they also beat the Blaze to the signature of goalie Frank Doyle. For Coventry to compete they simply had to add another British player, adding the depth but also the ability of a guy like Tait. They got bullied into the Tait deal. Sure it benefits them; they are, in my opinion, a better club with Ashley but this wasn't the direction the Blaze were in or wanted to go down a month ago.
Coventry had to make a statement that they were still a club that could compete. Their supporters needed to hear that as well as they feared a 5th place conference finish and a possible 6th place league ending if the Braehead Clan had their anticipated success in the Gardiner Conference. They love their Grand Slam Captain of 2005 in Coventry. Tait will always be a hero there but the Blaze got bullied into signing him back.
Too smart
So where does this leave Nottingham. Yes they have bodies available to fill the void left by Myers but no disrespect none of them are close to filling his shoes. Marc Levers, who has been a reliable 9th forward, is yet unsigned with the word out that he is looking for a move where he gets more ice time. Nottingham signed Jonathan Boxill, a young man from Bracknell, who played the last three seasons in NCAA Division 3 (US College). No Corey Neilson is far too smart a man to have pencilled Boxill in for the 9th forward slot for the Panthers.
Of course the Panthers preferred choice is Robert Farmer, the former Sheffield, Coventry and Braehead forward. Many of us thought he would succumb and sign in Nottingham, but he has a desire to play in the East Coast Hockey League (United States) and my understanding is that dream is close to becoming a reality with an ECHL side agreeing terms with Farmer and the move now more than likely taking place.
Another Nottingham summer signing might give us a clue to a different direction the championship coach might be heading towards. Tom Norton, the Nottingham born and bred youngster who was out on loan to EPL side Peterborough last year, has re-signed for the Panthers, giving Nottingham three British defencemen (alongside Weaver and Lee). Now if Corey signs his four import D men that would give him seven guys patrolling the blue line at the NIC. No team goes with 7. So is the signing of young Norton is an indication that Neilson might go with just three import defensemen and throw that additional import up front as the Myers replacement?
It's a risk. Many thought Nottingham could have won the Elite League title a few years before they did and one of the reasons they failed was down to playing just three import D when the eventual winners went with a more solid four.
Last season the title-winning Panthers went with four, including Neilson himself, though he soon moved to behind the bench and Nottingham asked forward and captain Jordan Fox to drop down onto the blue line alongside Guy Lepine, Eric Werner and Jason Beckett. Any thoughts he could do so again disappeared this week with the news that Fox was to return home to North America and a player assistant coaching job in the CHL.
Most coaches you can second guess. Corey Neilson isn't one of them. My view is that Farmer is their preferred option even if that means waiting to see if the North American exercise works out and being there to sign him mid-season if it doesn't. The fact that the experienced Levers hasn't yet been signed up tells me that Corey has a plan; just that he isn't sharing it with any of us at the moment.

Parish History
Davidstow (Cornish: Lanndhewi) St David is an Ancient Parish in the county of Cornwall. Other places in the parish include: Tremaill.
Davidstow' means David's Place and according to legend the church was founded by Saint David in the 6th century, whilst visiting his mother at nearby Altarnun. The church is large but was very much restored in 1875 so that little original work remains inside. Both the nave and the east windows are wider than usual in a Cornish church; a few benchends are interesting, one portrays a bagpiper. The parish is part of the group in the charge of the Rector of Boscastle.
The Parish is nowadays part of the Boscatle with Davidstow United Benefice in the Diocese of Truro.

The difference that this bug complains about was implemented specifically in the fix for bug 178328. Previously there were three checkboxes for managing Sent messages; the two regarding Bcc: were combined into one. It seems a reasonable request to ask that the text field be initialized to the account's default identity, so I'm changing this bug to an enhancement and tweaking the summary accordingly.

Comment on attachment 584094 [details] [diff] [review] init BCC and CC if selected, clear them if deselected So, I mostly like this, but there is an odd case that I'm not sure about. If I check "Cc", then delete my email address, then un-check "Cc", then re-check it, I don't think I expect to see my email address appear there again… It would help mitigate this if, when I clicked "Cc", the text field was focused, and my email address was selected, so that if I didn't want it (or wanted a different address), all I would need to do would be to hit delete (or start typing). But that's a fairly minor complaint, and fairly minor change to help it, so I'll say ui-r=me with that implemented. Thanks, Blake.
Created attachment 588780 [details] [diff] [review] patch v2 Select BCC field if we initialized it. Clear the emails when it is deselected and it is still at out inited value. Do not touch other user-edited value. (The value is only lost if the user moves to other account and selects Copies & Folders there (see further)). This change made a variant of bug 690277 visible here (it was here even before this patch I think). Select Copies & Folders in one account, set some values in the BCC textbox. Directly move to Copies & Folders in another account that does not have any values set in the textbox (and the BCC checkbox is not set). Now you will see the values from the first account in the textbox, instead of the placeholder ("Separate addresses with commas"). So I try to remedy that by clearing the textbox on initial display of the preferences pane (Copies & Folders) of each account: if the value of the textfield was empty initially (.getAttribute("value")) then clear the .value . I don't know if that is correct, but it worked for me satisfactorily. Please test thoroughly.

Speed limits on Highways 75, 59, 7 in western Minn. to be raised to 60 mph
ST. PAUL — The state Department of Transportation will raise the posted speed limit from 55 mph to 60 mph on the entire length of U.S. Highway 75, the majority of U.S. Highway 59 and on 14 miles of state Highway 7 in western Minnesota. Crews began installation of the new 60 mph signs on Monday; the speed limit will be effective once the signs are posted.
MnDOT traffic engineers studied the best "candidate" highways and found that the approximately 730 combined miles of Highway 59, Highway 75 and Highway 7 meet the necessary criteria.
"We did a careful and thorough study, looking at crash history, the way the roads are designed and what speed the traffic is actually traveling on the road," said Sue Groth, MnDOT's state traffic engineer. "Sixty miles per hour was determined to be the safe and reasonable speed limits for these roadways."
Highway 75 enters Minnesota south of Luverne and runs through Pipestone, Canby and Breckenridge and is the main north-to-south route through Moorhead. It ends at the Canadian border.
Highway 59 enters Minnesota south of Worthington and overlaps Interstate 94 near Fergus Falls. The route passes through Detroit Lakes and Thief River Falls before ending at the Canadian border. Two segments of Highway 59 will remain posted at 55 mph between Clarkfield and Marshall and south of I-90 because of different roadway characteristics, including narrower shoulders and reduced sight lines.
Current speed zones through towns on both roadways will remain unchanged.
In addition, MnDOT will raise the speed limit on the 14-mile segment of Highway 7 that runs between Highway 75 near Odessa and Highway 59 near Appleton.

THE Brean Golf Club Seniors will have to try again in their quest to reach the Seniors Somerset Bowl Final.
Their Semi-Final tie with Clevedon at Worlebury last Wednesday was called off after some of the greens flooded in the heavy rain.
The two sides have swiftly re-arranged the match next Tuesday (August 21st) at the same venue.
The Seniors Eclectic Medal due to be played at Brean the following day also suffered the same fate thanks to the weather.
Paul Jones celebrated the birth of his second child earlier in the week by claiming the Division One August Stableford. His card of 42 points was four ahead of Stuart Wills and also reduced his handicap back down to 9.
Division Two's award went to the in form Steve Mason with a best of the day 43 points. Just a few weeks ago Mason was playing off of 16 handicap but after his recent good run it has now been reduced to 12. Mark Hatfield recorded his second runner up finish in as many events as he returned 40 points to follow Mason home.
Scoring wasn't quite as good in Division Three as Roger Phillips won with 38 points from Tony Slade on 36. Shelia Rouse took the Ladies event from Gail Mason and with it prevented a Mason double.
The Avalon Division 2 side travelled to Long Sutton on Sunday afternoon for their top of the table clash with their fellow front runners in the League. In a close game they went down by 3.5 to 1.5 with Brean points coming from a win from Paul Jones and Roy Baker whilst Stuart Wills and Andy Thomas secured the half point.
Sunday was Pros Day at Brean when the members enter to try and beat a score set by the Pros' team in the testing Melody format.
This year, Brean's two professionals, David Haines and Andrew March, were joined by the sound to be Assistant Pro Roy Baker and European Tour player David Dixon.
This quartet was firing on all cylinders as they amassed 18 birdies between them over the round, making the members' task very difficult indeed.
At the end of the event, no-one had managed to beat their score of 58 but their nearest challengers of Mats Mattsson, Kevin Davies, Trevor Pitt and Phil Aspinall were awarded the Trophy for their nett round of 65.9.
Club Champion Charlie Huggins along with Gordon and Craig Wheelaghan and Club Chairman were the next best on 66.4.

Rajesh Khanna, M.D.
Prior to any surgical procedure it is common to experience a degree of anticipation and anxiety. It may be comforting to know that the Intacs procedure is far less invasive than a corneal transplant or many other surgical procedures of the eye and the Intacs success rate is high. The surgeons performing the procedure are typically corneal surgeons, having expertise with keratoconus. Each surgeon has also undergone a rigorous training program specific to Intacs for treating patients with keratoconus.
Typically, Dr. Khanna will have you undergo a thorough eye examination. Your examination will include a variety of standard ophthalmic tests for this type of procedure, as well as general medical tests and a review of your specific medical history.
Anesthetic drops are used to numb the eye, which is held open throughout the procedure to prevent blinking.
Step 1: A single, small incision is made in the surface of the cornea.
Step 2: The eye is prepared for Intacs placement.
To stabilize your eye and ensure proper alignment of the Intacs inserts, the centering guide is placed on the surface of your eye. During this time, inner layers of the cornea are gently separated in a narrow circular area to allow for Intacs placement.
Step 3: The Intacs inserts are gently placed. After the second Intacs insert is placed, the small opening in the cornea is closed.
Step 4: The procedure is completed. The placement of Intacs inserts remodel and reinforce your cornea, eliminating some or all of the irregularities caused by keratoconus in order to provide you with improved vision.
Follow-up visits will be required to monitor the healing process and evaluate the visual benefits of the procedure. Even after a successful procedure, glasses or contacts still may be required to provide you with good vision. As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks, including infection. Some patients experience visual symptoms including difficulty with night vision, glare, halos, blurry and fluctuating vision.
A corneal transplant involves replacing a diseased or scarred cornea with a new one. When the cornea becomes cloudy, light cannot penetrate the eye to reach the light-sensitive retina. Poor vision or blindness may result. In corneal transplant surgery, the surgeon removes the central portion of the cloudy cornea and replaces it with a clear cornea, usually donated through an eye bank. A trephine, an instrument like a cookie cutter, is used to remove the cloudy cornea. The surgeon places the new cornea in the opening and sews it with a very fine thread. The thread stays in for months or even years until the eye heals properly (removing the thread is quite simple and can easily be done in an ophthalmologist's office). Following surgery, eye drops to help promote healing will be needed for several months.
Corneal transplants are very common in the United States; about 40,000 are performed each year. The chances of success of this operation have risen dramatically because of technological advances, such as less irritating sutures, or threads, which are often finer than a human hair; and the surgical microscope. Corneal transplantation has restored sight to many, who a generation ago would have been blinded permanently by corneal injury, infection, or inherited corneal disease or degeneration.
Even with a fairly high success rate, some problems can develop, such as rejection of the new cornea. Warning signs for rejection are decreased vision, increased redness of the eye, increased pain, and increased sensitivity to light. If any of these last for more than six hours, you should immediately call your ophthalmologist. Rejection can be successfully treated if medication is administered at the first sign of symptoms.
A study supported by the National Eye Institute (NEI) suggests that matching the blood type, but not tissue type, of the recipient with that of the cornea donor may improve the success rate of corneal transplants in people at high risk for graft failure. Approximately 20 percent of corneal transplant patients--between 6000-8000 a year--reject their donor corneas.
Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) is one of the latest advances in eye care for the treatment of corneal dystrophies, corneal scars, and certain corneal infections. Only a short time ago, people with these disorders would most likely have needed a corneal transplant. By combining the precision of the excimer laser with the control of a computer, doctors can vaporize microscopically thin layers of diseased corneal tissue and etch away the surface irregularities associated with many corneal dystrophies and scars. Surrounding areas suffer relatively little trauma. New tissue can then grow over the now-smooth surface. Recovery from the procedure takes a matter of days, rather than months as with a transplant. The return of vision can occur rapidly, especially if the cause of the problem is confined to the top layer of the cornea. Studies have shown close to an 85 percent success rate in corneal repair using PTK for well-selected patients.
Another alternative, in cases with keratoconus, would be Intacs.

Green, But Not A Hummer
Yes, he's green but he isn't a hummingbird.
If you follow Chuck Tague on Facebook, you saw his comment when he posted this photo last year on June 29, 2011:
"Leapin' Lizard (with a sweet tooth). I caught this Carolina Anole, "Anolis carolinensis", licking sugar water from a hummingbird feeder near Hontoon Island, Volusia County, FL. This is the first time I saw anoles eat anything but small invertebrates."
A quick glance at the hummingbird feeder might not have revealed that this isn't a ruby-throat.
Expect the unexpected in Florida.

When an anole lizard (males only?) extends its dewlap, it is, in fact, a "ruby-throat". 😉

I have balitmore orioles in the spring/early summer come to my feeders and most recently a downy woodpecker. It's been coming since it was first fledged and I saw him yesterday twice. Actually landed on the feeder while I was sitting on the deck.

TO celebrate the opening of its new shop in Skipton, Chevin Cycles is offering two free tickets to the prestigious opening ceremony for this year's Tour de France.
The Tour de France 2014 Opening Ceremony and Team Presentation will see the biggest stars from the world of cycling grace the stage as part of a spectacular live entertainment event being held at Leeds Arena on July 3, just two days before the Tour's Yorkshire Grand Départ gets under way. Doors open at 5pm.
Chevin Cycles, which has been based in Otley for 30 years, opened a new store at 11 High Street, Skipton, six weeks ago and just two weeks ago opened another shop in Harrogate.
"Cycling is at the forefront of everybody's mind and to build our links in Skipton, we wanted to give something back," said company director Sanjai Bhatia.
The tickets, valued at £65 each, will give the lucky winner of this competition the chance to see defending champion Chris Froome and sprint sensation Mark Cavendish, who will be among top cycling stars to greet the crowd.
Yorkshire band Embrace will headline the event, and Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh will join York singer/songwriter Alistair Griffin on stage to perform The Road – the official anthem of Yorkshire's Grand Départ 2014.
Sanjai said: "Opening our new store has created for new jobs in the Skipton area. We really want to get behind the local cycling scene. We'd like people to go to our store for cycling advice and support. We have a workshop and offer a wide range of mountain, road and children's bikes."
To enter the competition, answer the following question: "Where is the Tour de France 2014 Opening Ceremony being held?" and return this coupon to the Craven Herald, 38 High Street, Skipton, BD23 IJU.

The Mad Hatter, The white rabbit and the Queen of Hearts will be making guest appearances, making the event very family friendly, especially as there will be various entertainments held throughout the course of the day, with the tea kindly being supplied by Clipper.
Tom Hawkins, VeloFest event director, said: "We are delighted to announce Yorkshire Cancer Research as the official charity partner for Velofest. This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the Yorkshire countryside, experience a once-in-a-lifetime sporting event whilst enjoying a tea party with a twist."
Andy Pierce, events manager at Yorkshire Cancer Research, added: "It will be tea and scones all round as we invite hundreds of people to join our record-breaking attempt. It will be a fantastic day and a great opportunity to spread the word about who we are and what we do, as well as helping us to promote our own cycling event, The Dales Rider, which will take place later in the year."
The ladies of the Dales and Bronte Group of Farm Stay UK have wheeled in £1,000 for charity by staging a Yorkshire Champagne afternoon tea with a dual White Rose and Tour De France theme.
Over 70 people attended the sell-out event at Crown Cottage Farm in Pasture Road, Embsay, hosted by Liz and Karl Gudgeon, who are members of the national on-farm accommodation providers' group. (Wed, June 11).
A farm building was converted into an indoor marquee, complete with bunting and mini Tour De France jerseys – 190 in total, all hand-crafted by Liz's mother Christine Clarkson, of Carleton, and members of her "knit and natter" ladies group.
On the menu ahead of Yorkshire's Grand Depart next month - the Leeds to Harrogate stage on July 5 passes through nearby Skipton - was an afternoon tea comprising traditional sandwiches and scones, along with Paris-Brest and curd tart, and other goodies.
Proceeds are in aid of the Addington Fund, a national aid organisation that helps maintain the economic and social fabric of UK farming communities. Farm Stay's Dales and Bronte Group has raised thousands of pounds for Addington through charity fund-raisers over the years.
Ian Bell, director of the Addington Fund, said: "Every penny raised will again be used to support Yorkshire farming families. Our thanks go to the Farm Stay Dales and Bronte Group ladies and to all who supported the event."
Liz Gudgeon added her own thanks to all helpers and attendees. She said that some of the mini Tour De France jerseys would be donated to Embsay-with-Eastby Pre-School Playgroup, with others remaining available to buy to help further boost the charity kitty.
Crown Cottage Farm, which has three letting bedrooms, is an Enjoy England Breakfast Award winner. It runs a small flock of Herdwick sheep and free-range hens that supply eggs for breakfast.

US GDP growth: US GDP Growth Third Quarter
Published: November 25, 2015
US GDP growth: US GDP Growth Third Quarter, The American economy turned in a better performance last quarter than first thought, expanding at a 2.1 percent rate, the government said on Tuesday.
Nearly all of the improvement was because of revised data on inventories, which showed businesses restocking shelves at a faster pace than the government first estimated. The improvement in inventory levels was offset by a slight downward revision in consumer spending last quarter.
Although well below the 3.9 percent pace of growth recorded in the spring, the economy's advance was better than the initial 1.5 percent rate for the third quarter that the Commerce Department reported late last month.
Wall Street economists had been expecting the upward revision for gross domestic product, which is the second of three estimates for growth that the government will release. The final set of numbers will come out on Dec. 22.
The tepid pace prompted Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs, to call this the "tortoise recovery" in a recent note to clients. But that sobriquet does not mean the economy has been uniformly lackluster.
"While this expansion may go uncelebrated, growth in fact has been good enough to achieve a great deal of cumulative progress in the labor market," he added. "We now expect that the U.S. economy will reach full employment within the next 12 months – the 'tortoise recovery' looks to be approaching the finishing line."
As for the third quarter, the more refined inventory numbers provided a lift to growth, but they are likely to slow down reported economic activity in the current fourth quarter as manufacturers and retailers cut back on restocking of warehouses and backroom stores.
"The inventory revision was even bigger than we expected," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial in Chicago.
One mildly downbeat note on Tuesday was an unexpected drop in consumer sentiment this month, with the Conference Board reporting that its index for consumer confidence fell to 90.4 from 99.1 in October. Despite a strong advance in hiring last month, consumers expressed more caution about the job market and future economic conditions in the most recent survey.
Consumer attitudes in the United States should rebound. "U.S. consumers are cash-rich and increasingly secure in their jobs," said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. "Confidence won't remain at the soft November level."
Nothing in the latest data is expected to derail plans by Federal Reserve policy makers to raise their benchmark interest rate at their meeting next month. The Fed's key lever for influencing the economy has been stuck at close to zero since December 2008.
With the unemployment rate falling to 5 percent in October and employers bolstering payrolls by 271,000, Fed officials are likely to conclude when they meet next month that the economy is strong enough to handle the first increase in interest rates in nearly a decade.

Oh yum. Its pretty good. The problem is the ending... You shoulda removed the beat and just had the rain. And then faded it out or something. I think it would sounded much better. Or had the beat fade out and the rain fade in. IMO. But its good.
You might be right there, i'll have a look at it. probably won't reupload it though.
I upload non-complete songs on newgrounds so if i ever (probably not) make an album, i can put the ultimate forms on them.

Garland, TX — A high school teacher has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in a federal plea deal.
Willis Bassham admitted to videotaping himself having sex with a student, court documents say. He has been removed from his position at Garland High School.
"Once we became aware of this situation, we acted," said Chris Moore of the Garland Independent School District.
He continued, "We looked into it. We did an investigation, quickly contacted the police department, placed the employee on leave … it is extremely unfortunate and it's inexcusable when these things occur, parents send their kids to school to learn, it's a safe zone and when things like this happen, it raises questions."
In May, the school district placed Bassham, a Social Studies teacher, on administrative leave after a teacher voiced concern that he was having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Investigators reportedly recovered at least two video clips from a cell phone at Bassham's home. Both show Bassham engaging in sexual activity with a student younger than 17.
In Garland High School's yearbook last year, Willis Bassham is quoted as saying, "I would hope I am a better teacher."
Marcus Bell, a graduate of Garland High School, said, "It was a disgrace and disrespectful to the school, the teachers, the district and everyone involved in the situation. It's not right to mess around with students, especially way younger than you and don't really know any better."
Under the plea deal, Willis Bassham would plead guilty, serve eight years in prison, and register as a sex offender.
No court date has been set yet, and a judge has yet to accept Bassham's plea agreement.

Scarlet Fever
Scarlet fever is an infection which produces a sore throat , fever, and a specific rash.
|Sore Throat Due to Inflammation
|© 2009 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
Scarlet fever is caused by specific bacteria. The bacteria produces a toxin that causes a rash. Scarlet fever usually develops in conjunction with strep throat .
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of scarlet fever include:
- Untreated strep infection
- Close contact with someone who has an untreated strep infection
- Overcrowded conditions, such as a school or daycare
Symptoms may include:
- High fever
- Specific, spreading rash that feels like sand paper
- Flushing in the face with paleness around the mouth
- Red streaks, called Pastia's lines, on elbows, underarms, and body creases
- Swollen glands in the neck
- Chills
- Pain in the abdomen
- Bright red tongue
- Body aches
- Headache
- Vomiting
In rare cases, untreated strep throat infection may cause:
- Rheumatic fever
- Kidney damage
- Spread of the infection to other areas such as the ears, sinuses, or lungs
- Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome
- Local abscess
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor may diagnose scarlet fever by the specific rash. Confirmation of scarlet fever can be done with a throat swab or rapid strep antigen detection test.
The infection that causes scarlet fever can be treated with antibiotics. It is important to take all the prescribed medication. Doing so will prevent scarlet fever from returning, and also prevent complications.
There is no specific treatment for the rash. After the rash fades, the skin peels for several weeks.
To reduce your chances of getting scarlet fever, take these steps:
- Avoid contact with people who have untreated strep infections.
- Wash your hands frequently.
- Have other household members or contacts tested for strep infection.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The father of Michael Jackson filed a wrongful death lawsuit on Friday against Dr. Conrad Murray, accusing the physician of giving the late pop star a powerful drug and being slow to call for medical help.
The lawsuit, which had been expected, was filed on the first anniversary of Jackson's death, just beating a one-year deadline for an action against the "Thriller" singer's doctor.
Joseph Jackson, 80, alleges in the suit filed in federal court in Los Angeles that Murray was too slow to call emergency medical services for help, and he later made statements to authorities which turned out to be false, including that Murray was by Jackson's side monitoring his pulse.
The lawsuit states that after paramedics arrived at the Los Angeles mansion where Jackson suffered cardiac arrest, Murray failed to inform them the singer had been given the powerful anesthetic propofol, which he used as a sleep aid.
The suit claims that Murray later changed his story about what happened, and said that he only discovered Jackson was not breathing less than 20 minutes before paramedics were called.
"Defendant Murray's conduct of failing to call (emergency services), of leaving Michael Jackson's bedside, and conducting CPR on the bed instead of a hard surface was below the standard of medical care for physicians," the lawsuit states.
Authorities have ruled Jackson's death a homicide and said propofol was the key drug in Jackson's system that led to his death at age 50 on June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles.
Medical experts have said propofol should be administered in a hospital setting, and that it was highly unusual for Murray to give it to Jackson at his home.
In a statement, Murray's lawyer said, "We continue to maintain Dr. Murray neither prescribed or administered anything that should have killed Michael Jackson...Dr. Murray has not been found guilty of anything and we believe his innocence will be proven in a court of law."
But in his lawsuit, Joe Jackson contends Murray was "reckless" in administering a "polypharmacy" of different drugs to Jackson, "including propofol every night as a sleep aid."
It claims the singer was addicted to prescription drugs, and that Murray had a history of prescribing such drugs to Jackson dating to at least 2008.
California authorities have charged Murray with involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson's death and he faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
With that case ongoing, a state judge earlier this month allowed Murray to keep his California medical license.
A civil lawsuit can run parallel to a criminal case, and its main purpose is to seek monetary damages.
The lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of Joe Jackson by attorney Brian Oxman, does not specify an amount of monetary damages that the pop star's father is seeking.
At the time of his death, Jackson was in the middle of rehearsals for a series of comeback concerts in London organized by AEG Live, a subsidiary of the Anschutz Company.
Joseph Jackson's lawsuit does not name AEG as a defendant, but the company has admitted hiring Murray to care for Jackson as he prepared for the concerts.
The lawsuit states that Joe Jackson "believes there are other parties responsible for Michael Jackson's death" and that he could amend his complaint to include those other parties.
The suit also named Joe Jackson's wife, Katherine Jackson, as a nominal party, but Adam Streisand, attorney for Katherine Jackson, said the move was highly unusual and unwelcome.
"The impression that Brian Oxman creates by doing this is that somehow Mrs. Jackson...(is) a part of this action against Conrad Murray, and nothing could be further from the truth," Streisand said.

Women in tears and angry residents are protesting against the development of a massive student development in Kingston Vale.
The proposal to erect 133 flats for students has met a campaign against since it was submitted on June 6.
The proposal, submitted by AK Property Investments, involves demolishing the bungalow at 1a Robin Hood Lane, and building a multi-storey block with parking spaces.
A doorstep survey conducted by the Kingston Vale Residents' Association indicated unanimous opposition.
Gordon Foster, chairman of the KVRA, said: "The residents are up in arms about it. I've had ladies in tears about it. We have had a considerable amount of calls and a couple of letters, all concerned that it would be a catastrophe for the area."
Coun Patrick Codd, co-chairman of the Maldens and Coombe planning sub-committee, said: "I have not known such anger in nearly 20 years, not just in Kingston but in my ward."
He added: "The council hasn't brought this proposal forward, but, nonetheless, residents feel let down."
John Foley, of Ullswater Crescent, said: "The facilities here have declined over the years. There used to be two pubs but both have been sold off for housing and we've lost those amenities. Where would the students go?"
The Duke of Cambridge pub was demolished in 2001 without planning permission, after a four-month long campaign to save it. The Vale's only other pub, the Robin Hood, was also later converted.
Mr Foley said: "What's happened is that people have not got a lot of confidence in planning in the area. Developers seem to be able to do what they want."
James Lloyd of AK Property Investments said: "We're not going to please everybody, but we have submitted the application for a development that is safe, secure and managed, and that will fit comfortably in the Vale."
The committee's decision is expected on December 17.

The Role of Underemployment in Employee's Overall Job Satisfaction: The Alabama Case
Job satisfaction is an important measure of utility that employees derive from their jobs and is related to various features of the job such as pay, security, intrinsic values of work, working conditions, career growth opportunities, working hours, and the like. This paper analyzes the relationship between underemployment and overall job satisfaction among other personal and job characteristics of the workforce in Alabama using survey data from Alabama workforce development regions. A logistic model is used to analyze the determinants of job satisfaction in Alabama including underemployment. Estimation results show a negative relationship between underemployment and job satisfaction. Personal and work-related attributes such as education, age, work hours, and gender are also shown to influence employee job satisfaction.
