Infectious Diseases
Flesh eating bacteria
I am residing in a home where the previous tenant had the flesh eating bacteria. Should I be concerned touching the knobs, carpets, shower floor, etc. If so, how do I sterilize everything? Not sure how long it stays active on inanimate objects or if it does at all. Thanks for your help.
Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare bacterial infection that can destroy skin and the soft tissues beneath it, including fat and the tissue covering the muscles (fascia). Because these tissues often die rapidly, a person with necrotizing fasciitis is sometimes said to be infected with "flesh-eating" bacteria, especially Streptococcus pyogenes. The bacteria that produce the toxins that cause necrotizing fasciitis can be passed from person to person. However, a person who acquires the bacteria is unlikely to develop a severe infection unless he or she has an open wound, chickenpox, or an impaired immune system. Most people will not get necrotizing fasciitis. You generally do not have to worry about getting the disease, because the bacteria that cause the disease usually do not cause infection unless they enter the body through a cut or other break in the skin. In very rare cases, the bacteria can be spread from one person to another through close contact such as kissing. People who live or sleep in the same household as an infected person or who have direct contact with the mouth, nose, or pus from a wound of someone with necrotizing fasciitis have a greater risk of becoming infected. If you have been in close personal contact with someone who develops necrotizing fasciitis, there is a small chance that your doctor may recommend that you take an antibiotic medicine to help reduce your chances of getting an infection. If you do develop any symptoms of an infection after being in close contact with someone who has necrotizing fasciitis, see your doctor right away. To help prevent any kind of infection, wash your hands often, and always keep cuts, scrapes, burns, sores, and bites clean.

text: 'Biggest Loser' to motivate W.Va. weight-strugglers By Rosalie Earle September 22, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Ali Vincent is confident she'll never be overweight again, and she'll try to instill that same certainty in others when she speaks in Charleston next month.Five years ago, Vincent was the "biggest loser" in season five of the television show of the same name. She lost 112 pounds. And this time it stayed off.The 37-year-old inspirational speaker, host of "Live Big with Ali Vincent" on the Live Well Network, will tell how she maintains her weight and a healthy lifestyle Oct. 6 at the Fun, Fit and Fabulous Women's Health Conference at the Charleston Marriott Town Center.The all-day event includes continental breakfast, gourmet lunch, speakers, health screenings and more. Admission is $10.Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of West Virginia is presenting the conference, which is open to the public. Proceeds from the admission charge will go to St. Jude's Hospital for children."It's another way for Highmark to reach out to the community and to put the focus on wellness and staying healthy," said Debbie Starks, senior communication specialist.She said the company has put on a similar program for the past 10 years in Hershey, Pa. She said 1,200 women attended the event there in August.Starks said the Charleston conference is modeled after the successful one in Pennsylvania. She said the health screenings will include bone density, blood pressure and breast wellness. Vendors will offer such treatment as chair massages and reflexology. There'll be a fashion show of fitness attire staged by Macy's. Cosmetic lines Philosophy, Clinique and Origins will be featured.Vincent won't be the only speaker promoting healthy living. Sunday Gazette-Mail columnists Linda Arnold and Cindy Boggs will team up in a workshop that encompasses body, mind and spirit in achieving total health.Arnold writes on spiritual and emotional wellness in her "Live Life Fully" column, which alternates in the Life & Style section with Boggs' column on physical fitness issues, "CindySays." The workshop promises to concentrate on experiential exercises. In his workshop, Dr. Rahul Gupta will talk about what women can do through nutrition and exercise to stay healthy and to live longer. The director of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department also will reveal the truth behind several health myths.Chicago's Gloria Araya will teach how to strengthen the body's core muscles through movement she describes as Middle Eastern-Afro-Caribbean dance.In another workshop, nurse and author Aila Accad will present techniques to quickly relieve stress and to restore energy.The day begins with registration and breakfast at 8:30 a.m. and continues with breakout sessions for the workshops through 4 p.m. Find more information and registration forms online at www.funfitfabulous.com/wv or call toll-free 888-234-4255.As the luncheon speaker, Vincent will talk about how she was inspired and determined to be the first female to win "The Biggest Loser" competition, which aired in 2008. When she entered the competition, she was 5-foot-5 and weighed 234 pounds. As a teen she had been a competitive swimmer. But when she stopped swimming, she didn't start any other physical activities. She put on 5 pounds each year for 13 years, she said.During that time, she said she went on lots of fad diets. "I kept losing the same 30 pounds over and over," she said in a phone conversation earlier this month.The problem, she said, is that diets aren't realistic. You start them and end them because you can't do them forever.To develop a healthy lifestyle, she learned to make a lot of little changes and celebrate small victories. "You have to come up with a plan and figure out how to get there," she said.Reach Rosalie Earle at email@example.com or 304-348-5115.

OAKLAND — Third baseman Eric Chavez has hit yet another roadblock in his return to health.
Already on the disabled list with a right elbow injury, Chavez underwent an MRI on Monday that showed he has a bulging disk in his back. He was scheduled to fly to Phoenix on Tuesday night to get examined by Dr. Rob Blackaby of the Desert Institute of Physical Therapy.
A's manager Bob Geren said Chavez came down with back spasms Sunday, prompting the MRI. The news puts an indefinite hold on Chavez's return and adds another chapter to his continuous injury struggles.
Chavez was pointing toward Friday as a possible return date, but Geren said this setback delays Chavez's return "a couple of weeks for sure." Chavez had microdiscectomy surgery on his lower back in October 2007, and the recovery period sidelined him for the first two months of the 2008 season. It was one of four operations he's undergone since September 2007.
Meanwhile, fellow third baseman Nomar Garciaparra (strained right calf) took infield practice Tuesday, and the A's hope he might be ready for this weekend's series in Detroit.
Short hops
After getting hit by a nasty flu bug on the A's last road trip, reliever Brad Ziegler is now regaining his strength from an asthma attack last week. Ziegler experienced asthma symptoms before a May 5 game against the Los Angeles Angels but pitched a scoreless inning that night. His condition worsened that night and the next day, and the A's sent him for chest X-rays. "I hadn't had an asthma attack in 15 years," he said. "I thought I had outgrown it. They think (the flu bug) triggered it. I feel OK at times, but I know my strength level is not what it was before." After not pitching for eight straight games because of the flu, Ziegler said the only way for him to return to form is to keep throwing. … Dallas Braden was wearing an Ace bandage on his swollen left hand after being struck by a line drive Sunday. He'll try throwing a bullpen session today. The plan is for Braden and Brett Anderson to pitch Friday and Saturday in Detroit, or vice versa. But Anderson is still questionable with a blister on his left index finger, Geren said. If one or both can't go, Sean Gallagher and Dan Giese are candidates to replace them.

Kroos expected out for 'a long time'
Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes fears he may have lost Toni Kroos for "a long time" to injury after the young forward was forced off during the club's 2-0 victory over Juventus in the Champions League.
• Delaney: Bayern experience wins
• Rzouki: Juve left for dead
Kroos was forced to sidelines in the 16th minute with his side 1-0 up against the Italians and would not play any further part as the Bavarians took a giant step to qualifying for the semi-finals.
"An initial diagnosis by FCB chief medical officer Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt suggests the Germany international has ruptured a group of adductor muscles in his right hip and now faces several weeks on the sidelines," a statement on Bayern's official said.
Heynckes admits he is worried that he has lost one of his most influential players at a critical point of the season.
"This is obviously very bitter, " Heynckes said. "It's just such a shame for a young player who has played great this season."

It seems only fair to share an update to the story since so many of you have been kind enough to lament my troubles with predation on the laying hens and the pastured broilers. If you missed the column from a few weeks back it basically chronicled some owl and fox attacks on our pastured poultry we raise for meat down in the nut grove and our egg-laying hens that range freely around the barn and house during the day.
In my garden, I always get the little tomatoes - cherry, grape, plum, etc. - weeks before I get any big red ones. They're great in salads and just for munching, but I always end up with too many. I like roasted vegetables of all kinds. In fact, I've had them in this column before. So, I decided to try it with an abundance of small red and yellow tomatoes I happened to have.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
Brue needs a female primary caregiver who is retired or works from home and has experience with toy dogs that have BIG personalities. She is reliably house trained if she is given the opportunity to go outside every 2-3 hours. Otherwise, she will have accidents in the house. Brue is fearful of being picked up so must always be approached slowly. She had corrective surgery for luxating patellas and does not navigate stairs well or jump onto the sofa, but she loves running around outside (see video). She is an exceptional travel buddy, content to quietly hang out in her kennel on road trips. Brue Lynn gets along well with other small dogs (except alpha females) and will sometimes play with them once she gets to know them. However, her primary focus in life is her female caregiver!
Brue Lynn's forever home must have a very securely fenced yard and no children or large dogs. She must always be securely harnessed and leashed when outside a fenced area and crated or seat belted in the back seat when in a vehicle. She will bark at noises and visitors (especially men and children) so apartment life is not recommended. Brue loves walks and does well on a leash, but sometimes barks at people you meet along the way. She tolerates cats, but if they get too close to her she may snap at them.
Her birthday is January 1, 2008 and she weighs just 8 pounds. Griffs are a very long lived breed so she has many healthy, active years left to share her love with you. She is spayed, UTD on vaccinations, micro chipped, heartworm negative and taking preventative. She also had a full dental, as well as corrective surgery for a grade 4 luxating patella. Brue Lynn is being fostered near Lemont Illinois and we prefer to place her within a short driving distance. Our dogs may never be shipped in cargo and we do not transport them to adoptive homes. They are never placed in homes with invisible (electric) fencing. Doggy doors are OK as long as they are secured at night and when you are gone. Brue is small enough to be carried away by a hawk, owl, coyote or other predator so may never be left outside alone.
You may submit an adoption application for Brue Lynn at http://www.abgra.org/. Questions may be emailed to email@example.com but please read her story first.
BRUE LYNN - ADOPTION PENDING, a Lemont Brussels Griffon dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Brussels Griffon for sale in Lemont, or seeking a Brussels Griffon dog from a breeder in Lemont.

Story Synopsis:
Escape was impossible until it was cleared; a game over would mean an actual «death»―.
Without knowing the «truth» of the mysterious next generation MMO, «Sword Art Online» (SAO), approximately ten thousand users logged in together, opening the curtains to this cruel death battle.
Participating alone in SAO, protagonist Kirito had promptly accepted the «truth» of this MMO.
And in the game world, a gigantic floating castle named «Aincrad», he distinguished himself as a solo player.
Aiming to clear the game by reaching the highest floor, Kirito riskily continued alone.
Because of a pushy invitation from a female warrior and rapier expert, Asuna, he teamed up with her.
That encounter brought about an opportunity to call out to the fated Kirito―.
Starting in July, this anime adaption of the popular novel series begins. The authors other work, Accel World, is airing right now, and there is a cross-over between the two available to read on Baka-Tsuki.
So folks, have at it.
Season 2 Confirmed for release later this year. =D
Feel free to post about it here, instead of making another thread. ('w')/

Identifying peaks and troughs is a question for zeros in the first derivative; identifying convex and concave regions is a question for zeros in the second derivative.

Fall Food Fest to raise funds for local schools
October 26, 2012
Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation will host its Fall Food Fest Saturday, Oct. 27, at Harveys Convention Center.

Tickets cost $40 in advance at Fox Gas and $45 at the door. Proceeds will benefit local schools.


text: Not trying to start a flame war. I am just interested in the facts. Currently studying BA. Planning to take my third year(European batchelor degrees are tree years) abroad, not sure where yet. Also planning on taking my masters degree abroad. Doing good, acing most classes so far, so I am hoping to be able to pick whatever schools I´d like. Having looked around in the threads here, it seems like those who have a MA and work in the US are getting $25/hr. How does this compare to UK? I`d really like to leave this frozen hellhole (yes, I live in Norway). On the other hand, with a MA-degree I am looking at $90 000/yr without any long days, just plain and simple 8-4. Of course, living costs here are much higher, but still. That´s the situation career wise at least. On the matter of education, I am just as uncertain as to what I should do. Planning on majoring in something finance-related (VC, PE, IB, CR) At the moment, I am studying at a UC, it is however the best in it´s field, industrial economics. There is now a shortlist for plans. 3. yr: UC Berkely Penn State Hazelton Uni. of Durham MA: St. Gallen CASS LBS Not sure about the US schools yet. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. I am sure I will like it regardless of where I end up, but if US means 100 hr weeks with a shitty salary, and staying means 40 h weeks and a decent salary, I´ll survive the cold.

Chirk Castle estate, Llangollen, North Wales
Guests: 2 Wifi: not available Pets? Strictly no pets allowed
The smallest and cutest Welsh holiday cottage in Wales, this little sweetie near Llangollen is the perfect holiday base for exploring North Wales. So romantic and a fabulous interior worthy of any magazine!
Small is beautiful, and tiny Popty Pennant is an absolute gem of a cottage - everyone who has ever stayed here has just loved it! This romantic converted bakehouse in the garden of an upland manor house (Plas Pennant) on the Chirk castle estate, is classic 'Under the Thatch' stuff - perfectly conserved using authentic materials and furnished with love. The restoration of this cottage has been the pet project of Cadw's Building Inspector in North Wales, and it shows in the remarkable attention to detail (Cadw is the state body for Welsh heritage). Book this cottage and enjoy access over the beautiful gardens of the manor, great walking in the area, and visit the charming heritage towns around, of which Llangollen and Chirk are just the start.
Apparently all the recent tenants of the bakehouse went on to marry, so this must be a perfect spot for romance. Extra photos here as well as general views. Guests made a mini video here & holiday snaps here and here.
See our facebook gallery of this sweet North Wales cottage.

Peaceful and beautiful, an idyllic location
Popty Pennant is the loveliest little cottage with fantastic views set in a quiet secluded valley, yet only 5 minutes from Llangollen (and a journey to LLangollen which has a breath taking view of the town. Popty Pennant is just lovely - a fantastic working Victorian range with an open fire keeps it cosy, a very comfortable bed in a little loft overlooking the main room, and a small (but fine) kitchen and bathroom. All set within the loveliest farmstead, surrounded by chickens, dogs and horses. The owners are very welcoming and I would recommend this to anyone seeking P&Q in a beautiful area
Tiny, tiny cottage, but not in the least bit cramped, even for my 6" 3" husband, who appreciated being able to stretch out in bed. Beautifully restored with interesting details and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great walking from the doorstep and a cosy fire to curl up by. Thanks to Nick and Derek for being such friendly and generous hosts.
A wonderful little cottage retreat! Everything we needed in a small space and designed with care and attention to detail. Good range of walks close by and a chance to relax in front of the fire in the evening. Thank you, Nick and Derek, for our all too brief stay.
We arrived at our cottage early evening and were welcomed by Nick the owner, together with chickens, ducks, horses, and dogs. The cottage was certainly away from it all with spectacular scenery all around. There was plenty to do and see. We chose to visit Chirk Castle which was on the doorstep, Llangollen Aquaduct, Erddig National Trust property, and a day at the seaside Llandudno. There were also beautiful walks straight from the cottage even picking a few blackberries along the way. On our return home we visited Llanarmon to do a recommended walk out of the Daily Mail which included pub lunch at the Hand Pub which was superb. A very enjoyable stay would very much like to return and stay in the Chapel which is part of the farm.
A cosy cottage with everything you need for a peaceful stay away from the hustle and bustle. Popty is great if you are looking for a retreat that's not too isolated, I stayed on my own with the comfort of knowing the owners Nick & Dereck were around. I intended on hanging around reading books and generally chilling but took advantage of the perfect location, the coast is within an hour and halfs drive through stunning scenery, Most of the main attractions are easily accessible and if you feel the need to wonder back into the world then Oswestry is worth a mooch round or Chester is about half an hour away. A charming and unique place to get away from it all.
Lovely short break at Popty Pennant. Fantastic setting and within easy reach of Chirk and Powys castles. Well equipped, warm and cosy with amazing views and walks from the door.
A lovely peaceful spot with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, tucked away down narrow country lanes and yet within easy reach of lots of places of historic interest and good walks. The cottage itself is very compact but has all you need and has been thoughtfully furnished to match its historic character. You need to be fairly agile to climb up to bed in the crogloft, but that adds to its character. Nearby towns and villages still have plenty of independent shops - butchers, bakers etc. A very relaxing break.

What is SPS stacking system and where can I get one?
this was just being discussed on another thread...let me see if i can find the link.
I couldn't figure out what this was either when seeing it here!
"SPS" is "single plate support" system. I've read on here that they are available at GSA, Oasis and CalJava.
"SFS" is "stress free support" system. Earlene's has this type.
this is from another thread on the difference between wilton's stacking and sps...
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2008 4:30 pm
Illustrated common cake support systems:
More info on SPS:
(See leahs post.)
Illustrated level dowel cutting by indydebi:
(Just to complete my cake support system info....)
Not going to be a ton of help here as I too have more questions than answers about the SPS system. What I DO know is that you can get them from GlobalSugarArt.
Not to heist your thread, but I have been looking at them as well and see that they come in several piecesl. I am about to invest and have no idea what the construction series is for these and what parts I need. Do they need both top and bottom? What is needed for a stacked vs. tiered cake?
In particular, I am about to do a 14-10-6 stacked and have no idea what I need to buy of this system? How is the assembly done for these? I have done just the dowels in the past but this next one has a two hour tranport and I fear the worst!!
Anyone help?
I use the Wilton plate and dowel system......or any other stacking system. and cut the dowes to the desired height for each layer. I have a small hack saw for that purpose only.
It is a realitively inexpensive way to go and easy to replace. Hope that helps.
Sps is the only system I will use. It is more stable than Wilton, you can assemble your cake then transport it with no problems.
For the 14-10-6 in cake you will need a 10 in plate, a six in plate and 8 pillars. and of course a base for your cake and cardboard circles. When you get your plates you will see there is a little nub in the center of each one, you need to put your cardboard circle on the plate and push the nub into it then take it off and make the hole in the cardboard a little bit bigger and then put your cake on the cardboard circle and decorate it. When you put this back on the SPS plate the little hole in the cardboard will fit onto the nub and keep the cake from sliding off of the plate. This is what enables you to transport your fully assembled cake without fear of it falling.
HTH Val
Do the clients return them OK? How much do you charge as a deposit ?
I continue to use the asain bubble straws which are more stable than the dowels and more food friendly. I think that I might check into one of these two systems though .
I use the stress free support system that Earlene sells. It is great, but expensive, so you have to be sure you get it back. I am going to check out the single support system. Can anyone tell me what the asain bubble straws are, and where to get them?

Donna in Alabama
If you have nay asian stores in you area yuo Can buy Bubble Tea straws there.
If not you can order online.
SPS is realitivity cheap about $20 per cake so I just add in the price and give the client the option to bring it back. With the price of gas no one has.
Sometimes I have mirrors, stands, etc that need to come back, so I just charge a deposit that is return when everything comes back to me in good condition.
Sometimes it seems like a pain though, just for the support system...I like vrmcc1's idea....add the cost in and let them decide.
As always, if anyone wants the insturctions with lots of pictures on how to use SPS, I'll be happy to send them. I need your EMAIL. Please don't PM me without including your EMAIL. I get a fair number of requests for instructions, and I'm happy to send them to you, but please, send your EMAIL addy.

Indiana Baptist History, 1798-1908, by William T. Stott
This Association was organized in 1812 and named for the oldest church; besides, the first meeting was. held with this church. The churches that went into the organization were Silver Creek, Mount Pleasant, near Madison, Fourteen Mile, Knob Creek, Upper Blue River, Lower Blue River, Camp Creek and Salem; the ordained ministers were Elders Jesse Vawter, Philemon Vawter his brother, William McCoy and John Reece. Correspondence was established with the following Associations: Salem Wabash, Long Run and White Water. In 1816 part of the churches withdrew to join in forming the Blue River Association, yet the minutes for 1819 show that the number of churches is seventeen, the number of ministers nine and the total membership 600.
It was not unusual to have queries as to doctrines or duties presented at the Association; one for 1819 was: "Can an orderly set of brethren constitute themselves into a church state!" Answer: "We see no scripture reason why a number of orderly brethren may not constitute themselves into a church; yet, for the sake of church union we think it commendable to obtain the advice of neighboring churches." Another deliverance at that session is worthy of note: "The Association recommends to the churches to send up short letters and omit the Articles of Faith unless they have changed their faith.
The Circular letter of the same year deals with an important matter, namely, whether the churches should adopt a statement of beliefs. The answer is in the affirmative, and the reasons are given: First, it does not ignore nor subordinate the scriptures; second, it lets the world know what we understand the Bible to teach, and so puts us in a position to refuse membership to such as might use that privilege to deny our doctrines and paralyze our best efforts.
The statistics for 1826 give twenty-eight churches, thirteen ordained ministers, and a total membership of 1,015. In 1827 a considerable number of members withdrew to join in forming the Coffee Creek Association. The prosperity was never as great afterwards as it had been hitherto, and yet the statistics for 1828 show thirteen churches, five ordained ministers and
515 members. The Annual Baptist Register for 1838 gives fifteen churches and 622 members. We know that the teachings of Alexander Campbell had already begun to affect some of the churches of the Association. As a result, four or five churches had withdrawn to join the Lost River Association which was known to be strongly under the influence of Parkerism.
The "father" of the Association was, without doubt, Elder Jesse Vawter; he was its first moderator, and indeed the only one till he withdrew in 1827 to join in forming the Coffee Creek Association.

Gun owners need basic medical training

There is no doubt that knowing basic first aid and perhaps even more in depth medical training would be beneficial in a bad situation.
However, it is a perishable skill that you need to keep up on and that is just as important as doing it in first place. Its not the hardest thing in the world to remember when you have a few minutes to think about it, but you most likely won't have a few minutes to do so in a dire situation. You can lose consciousness in about 30 seconds from a femoral artery bleed. So with that said, you must also be able to apply first aid to yourself. We did a pretty extensive medical training exercise, and applying a tourniquet one handed in a timely fashion can be quite difficult. Am I saying everyone needs to be a Corpsman or Medic? No. Though, most CCW holders feel it's better to have a gun and not need it, than not have it and need it. Why not the same for lifesaving skills? To be honest, with all the dangers in the world that don't concern a gun, not having those skills can be more dangerous for your family or yourself than situations involving self defense, IMO.

* Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, when we read the Constitution in this body on January 6, 2011, we missed a good opportunity. I joined in the reading. I was certainly not going to allow one political party to claim the Constitution for its own, as it has sometimes tried to claim the U.S. flag. However, by reading an altered version of the Constitution and by doing so without warrant we lost a great educational moment.
* I revere the U.S. Constitution and carry a copy of the Constitution with me every day. I often ask students what they think is the greatest invention of humans. Because they know that I am a scientist, they usually say something technical like the laser or a microchip in answer to my question. I reply that the greatest invention is the U.S. Constitution. It is truly ingenious: Because of this document, our brilliant, resilient, self-correcting system of government, dreamed up in Philadelphia so many years ago, still functions well today. The system inspires and motivates people around the world.
* Instead of reading the full Constitution, members of the House took turns reading an altered text based on the amendments. I was further troubled to learn that because of human error we skipped two pages during our reading.
* The altered text omitted the original language of Article I, Section 2 that counted each black individual as only three-fifths of a person for the purposes of apportionment of Representatives, omitting it and reading only the text of the 14th Amendment that apportioned Representatives according to the total number of all male citizens. Yet, Article I, Section 3 that proscribes that the two Senators from each state be chosen by the state legislature, a passage of the Constitution subsequently amended by the 17th Amendment, was read in its original format.
* The decision to not read the full text ignores the fundamental strength of the U.S. Constitution--its implicit recognition that the United States of America is an imperfect, ever evolving, self-correcting union. The Constitution is not a perfect document, and the Founders did not have all the answers. African American were counted as three-fifths of a person. Women were disenfranchised. The concept of privacy was glossed over. The full text of the Constitution and its Amendments should have been read today to help American recall and understand how we have strived and still strive ``to form a more perfect Union.''
* The Constitution was a compromise throughout. In addition to counting each black individual as only three-fifths of a person, it was virtually silent on slavery, the great injustice of the day. But after a way that almost destroyed the Union, after more than half a million died, and when brother fought brother, the Constitution was amended and updated to reflect the will of the people. Today, the American experiment continues to improve. Freedoms and protections of rights keep growing in the face of both consistent and ever-changing threats.
* Langston Hughes--an American who was denied the rights and freedoms that all of us deserve--wrote in Let America Be America Again, 1938,
O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath--
America will be!
* Students attending under-performing schools, millions of Americans without health insurance, and widespread poverty demonstrate that even today, America never was America for far too many of us. But our Constitution lets us admit when we are wrong and correct our mistakes. Our collective vision of America must include an expanding sphere of freedom, liberty, and opportunity for all. And most importantly, we must never believe we are so infallible that we fail to strive for a ``more perfect Union.''

On July 18th, 2016, the 4,000th article was added to the SuccuWiki!
For other uses of the word Succubus, see Succubus (disambiguation).
Daemonophilia is an interactive comic book created by a group known as Tall Tales Productions. They describe themselves as a group of devoted fans of the Visual Novel (or Ren'ai) genre who are working together to create original English language visual novels. Their overall goal was to make visual novels accessible to more people to the world, and eventually bring the experience everywhere. The game originally appeared online in May of 2009 and is still available at various sites on the internet.
The story of Daemonophilia was about a character named Franklin who comes into possession of a book that contains a Succubus named Simone and the player makes choices that change their story. Generally the story is a comedy although at some points it does stray into some more emotional events and decisions that temper that comedy to an extent.
The story of Daemonophilia is about a character named Franklin who comes into possession of a book that contains a Succubus named Simone and you make choices that change their story. Generally the story is a comedy although at some points it does stray into some more emotional events and decisions that temper that comedy to an extent.
While the story is linear in nature, there are several points at which the game player can make decisions to alter the storyline. This then directs the game towards several different events and, at the end of the story, a final decision that brings either a happy or sad ending to the game for Franklin and Simone.
Daemonophilia is a risque comedy not recommended for those below 16 years of age. Despite the theme, however, there is no graphic sexual content.
Game Requirements
There are several different versions of this game available. There are separate versions that will run on Mac, Linux and Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/Vista operating systems.
Game Play
The game begins with an introduction of the main character Franklin and then progresses through a typical day for him at home and at the place he works. Then he summons Simone, the succubus, through a spell in a book he was given. The story then progresses through their relationship as it evolves and choices are made in how that develops. The story comes to a conclusion where you, as Franklin, must make a decision. Which is more important to you? Love or your soul?
Characters in the Game
Even though he's in his mid-twenties, Franklin has never had a real girlfriend, and with a lousy job in a second-hand bookstore, he doesn't have many chances of finding one. However, some books hold secrets Franklin never thought of, and all of the sudden, his sex life becomes much more interesting--and much more dangerous: What if losing your virginity also meant losing your soul?
Stewart Macguffin
Mr. Stewart Macguffin is the owner of Macguffin Books and is Franklin's boss. He is somewhat gruff, unfriendly and does tend to make Franklin's life a living hell for him.
Marc Fellucile
A character that arrives in the store looking for a particular book one day and in return for something in that book, gives Franklin the book that changes his life. He is more than he appears, as becomes clear as the story progresses towards its climax.
Simone is the Succubus of this game. According to the Devil, she has been a rather poor one in that she has never done her job properly. She is rather timid and shy around Franklin. She appears to be about the same age physically as Franklin, but, according to the Devil and her own comments, she is several hundreds of years old. She tends to poke mischievously at Franklin, his attitudes on sex and other parts of his life. One of her favourite things is coffee and she enjoys that a lot during the story. While there is a certain amount of sexual tension from time to time in her relationship with Franklin, she never actually pushes him too hard in that respect. She does however fall into love with Franklin over time and he returns that love, if awkwardly and unsure, through the story.

Josiah Bean-I
know not who this Bean can be unless he is the one who married the widow
of Jacob Weed. Weed died Jan. 1789. Bean may have had a prior wife. But by
this wife he had Deacon Josiah Bean of Gilmanton one of whose daughters
married a brother of Judge Ira A. Eastman of Gilmanton. He had a son who
moved to Maine and perhaps other children. The Josiah Bean who married
the widow Weed and died in Sandwich, in the north part about five miles
from Rev. Mr. Hiddens Church.
Josiah Bean
was possibly the first settler on the property now owned by Aliston H.
Grant. The records of Rev. Jeremiah Shaw of Moultonborough, married
Molly MCGAFFEY on November 12, 1788 and Betsy SINCLAIR on February 5, 1792 both
of Sandwich, NH Perhaps this was the same man with a second wife. Andrew
was born in Sandwich on June 24, 1763. He was a soldier in the 1812-15
war and died while in the service at Burlington, VT. in November 1813.
Josiah was a selectman in Sandwich in 1778.
David Bean-he
settled upon the place where Ezekiel FRENCH so long lived and where he
died, between John Prescott's and Jeremiah Page. This
Ezekiel French does
not appear to have been at Sandwich in 1776. Bean traded farms with French
for one near Guinea Mountain and received and overcoat in exchange. It is
said he was afterwards a miller at center Sandwich and lived in the house
above Cyrus Beede. He is said to have been a Quaker. Bean was an early
Gilmanton name. David Bean came to Sandwich in the fall of 1767 with four
other families and they all built log cabins. In 1802, he and several
other families moved to Sutton,VT.
Town records
of Raymond, NH show that he was living there in 1765-66, on the Old
Chester Homestead. In 1766 and 67 he was living in Brentwood. It was
either 1768 or 1769 that he moved to Sandwich with the rest of his family.
Josiah served in the Revolutionary War under General Stark, serving at
Portsmouth and in teh Battle of Bennington and at the taking of General
Burgoyne at the Battle of Saratoga.
By his first
wife Josiah had 9 ch and by his 2nd 3, the first son at
Raymond, NH
and the next two at Brentwood; the rest at Sandwich NH
of Josiah Bean

Flurries To Continue Through Morning
Your Doppler 10 Forecast
This Evening: Snow showers and breezy.
Tonight: Snow showers until midnight. Low 24.
Tomorrow: Morning flurries..then clearing skies. High 35.
Sunday Partly sunny. High 39.
Special Information:
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY continues until midnight tonight as light snow showers move across Central Ohio. Any additional accumulation will be an inch or less. The real problem will be the temperatures that drop into the 20s. Once the sun sets.. I expect untreated roadways to become snow covered and slick.
Two new storm system will impact Ohio next week. The first is rather weak with a combination of rain and snow on Christmas Eve. A much stronger winter storm will move into the Ohio Valley on Wednesday with the potential for heavy snow.
Both the GFS and ECMWF show a low pressure system moving from Oklahoma to Central Kentucky. This is an ideal track for snow here in the Columbus area. Both long range models have been very consistent with this storm. Based on what I'm seeing now… 6 or more inches of snow may be possible across the Central and Southern Ohio Wednesday and Thursday.
Alerts : WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY until 10PM.
Inconvenient Weather: Watch the roads tonight as they may freeze once the sun goes down. Also.. the snow may stick on untreated roads after sunset.
Planning your Day: Plan on a cold night if you are going out. Weekend should be dry, but chilly with highs in the 30s.

Everything online journalists need to protect their legal rights. This free resource culls from all Reporters Committee resources and includes exclusive content on digital media law issues.
The Ohio Supreme Court decided Monday not to hold a reporter in contempt of court for refusing to testify in a disciplinary hearing against an attorney.
While the case was poised to answer the question of whether the state's reporter's privilege applied in quasi-judicial or administrative proceedings, the state's high court did not squarely answer this question. Instead of issuing a full opinion, the court briefly announced that it was dismissing the case and denying the Akron Bar Association's request to hold the reporter in contempt.
The Ohio Supreme Court is set to decide whether a reporter will be forced to testify in a lawyer's disciplinary hearing.
While Ohio has a shield statute that protects journalists from having to reveal sources of information in court, the state has not yet determined whether the reporter's privilege extends into quasi-judicial or administrative proceedings, according to court filings.
Summary of statute(s): An individual who is a party to either an in-person conversation or electronic communication, or who has the consent of one of the parties to the communication, can lawfully record it or disclose its contents, unless the person is doing so for the purpose of committing a criminal or tortious act. Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2933.52 (West 2012).
The Ohio Supreme Court ordered a judge to release all records sealed during the criminal prosecutions of several Mahoning County officials and business owners. The state high court also prohibited the judge from issuing further orders sealing records in the high-profile criminal-conspiracy case.
"We decide this case based on the Rules of Superintendence, which provide for public access to court records," according to the opinion issued Wednesday.
The Ohio Supreme Court denied ESPN, Inc. access to certain records relating to the NCAA's investigation of Ohio State University football players who allegedly traded sports memorabilia for tattoos. The court's ruling, released today, cited a federal act that withholds funds to public schools that release educational records in denying ESPN's request.
The Ohio Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a lower court's decision denying The Cincinnati Enquirer access to personally identifying information regarding police officers involved in a shootout with a motorcycle gang. Citing the officers' constitutional right of privacy, the court found those portions of requested records identifying particular officers were exempt from disclosure under the state public records law.
A federal judge in Ohio has granted several news media organizations' request to unseal hundreds of trial exhibits in the racketeering case of an ex-government official.
But U.S. District Judge Sara Lioi declined to immediately release several other exhibits, including recordings of wiretapped conversations, claiming that doing so could affect the appeal and fair-trial rights of James C. Dimora, who is also a defendant in another criminal case alleging substantially similar conduct.
Mourners hug after the burial of Daniel Parmertor at All Souls Cemetery, Saturday, March 3, 2012, in Chardon, Ohio.
The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press has put together a guide on some of the legal issues that journalists covering the Ohio school shooting may encounter. The guide is available on the Reporters Committee web site, and covers primarily freedom-of-information and court-access issues.

The Extra Pieces
I did a lot of scary things last week.
Put my website back up, submitted a poem to an online journal, did my first speech.
Made it public on YouTube (see it here).
All scary because they all involve confronting one of my biggest fears and something I usually avoid at all costs: rejection.
It has taken me down so many times, but it's also stopped me from doing anything at all.
Because even if it hasn't happened yet, I'm afraid it will.
My mind likes to take it a step further by convincing me I will be forever rejected and hated.
I would like to be okay with that.
Not believe it's true, but welcome rejection, tell it to fucking bring it and turn it into motivation.
Or at least not be so afraid of it.
No one really wants to be hated.
I'm no exception.
But truth is, I don't feel likeable.
I know I'm loved by my family, but I don't feel like an integral part of the world.
I feel like an extra piece that doesn't fit.
Is the mistake believing I should fit? Am I trying too hard to shove myself into a space I wasn't made for?
Maybe I need to think outside the box, or in this case, outside of the puzzle.
Maybe I have to find a way to live outside of it.
Maybe if I search for all the other extra pieces we can make our own picture.

Sink Raises Democrat Hopes
It's been four years since someone with a "D" behind the name filled a Florida Cabinet seat. Since then, Democrats suffered another White House defeat - largely on Florida soil. Since then, Democrats watched the GOP redraw political districts to protect the party's 2-to-1 lead in the state House.
And several prominent local Democrats defected. Dark days, indeed. But lo, the star Asellus Borealis ("Northern Donkey") shines bright and word of a possible political savior is spreading across the land. Democrat Alex Sink is running for chief financial officer, or CFO. If she wins this Cabinet seat, she'll run a state department that's respectable in size but still smaller than the behemoth Bank of America she ran in Florida. Full story is here.

Vitter Wants Those Who Cleared Shelves During Glitch Banned from Food Benefits
Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) wants to make sure that both benefit recipients and stores are held to account for the recent run on groceries during an outage of the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system in his home state.
Shoppers cleared out shelves Oct. 14 when the system went down, with deluged Walmarts deciding to let transactions proceed despite the outage showing no spending limits for the cards.
Vitter said those who went on food grabs should be disqualified from receiving benefits.
"Food Stamps have more than doubled in cost since 2008 and continue to grow in an unsustainable way, and the events in Louisiana unfortunately highlight the fraud surrounding the taxpayer-funded program. I believe there should be serious consequences for what occurred; so far, I have heard of none," Vitter wrote yesterday to Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell and Secretary of Department of Children and Family Services Suzy Sonnier.
The senator noted that some Louisiana beneficiaries reacted to the EBT outage, which affected several states, "by purchasing huge quantities of merchandise in dollar amounts clearly beyond their limits. Also, reports include some people bypassing checkout lines completely and simply walking out with full carts during the confusion. The Louisiana reports from October 14 are very well-documented, including at the Wal-Mart stores in Mansfield and Springhill."
Vitter urged that "no reimbursements are made to Louisiana retailers who did not follow mandated procedures during the system outage."
"I understand that the Wal-Mart stores in Mansfield and Springhill did not follow protocol, which requires a $50 limit and a requirement to call for authorization of charges during a system outage. Instead, these stores used a 'store and forward' method, which allowed EBT recipients to knowingly leave stores with more goods than their EBT allowance would permit. If a retailer did not follow procedures and allowed customers to charge goods that were obviously excessive and beyond limits, they should not be paid by taxpayers for losses they facilitated," he wrote.
"Second, I urge you to disqualify any Food Stamp beneficiaries who knowingly stole groceries from retailers during the outage. It should be clear that someone who tried to buy massive amounts of groceries purposefully attempted to exceed the program limits. That sort of fraud should be met with disqualification from the program at the very least," Vitter continued.
"Third, I urge you to form a task force with local prosecutors to prosecute individuals guilty of theft and fraud in these incidents. Clear documentary evidence exists for those who purchased items clearly in excess of their monthly limit. Whether the retailers involved, who were also at fault, want to press charges should be immaterial since you have all the documentary evidence you need for successful prosecutions without their help."
According to WWLTV in New Orleans, Sonnier said in response to the Vitter letter that her department is asking the USDA for the right to sanction those who broke the law, noting that the state's SNAP program permits a 12-month sanction from the program for a first offense, a 24-month suspension for a second offense and a permanent disqualification for a third offense.
"DCFS has no tolerance for fraud or abuse of the SNAP program and works aggressively every day, using the latest technology, to hold people accountable," she said. "No unauthorized taxpayer dollars were used in Louisiana during the multi-state Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) EBT transaction outage."
Vitter stressed that the incident should be "addressed aggressively."
"If not, I fear that it will only encourage more such incidents in the future. Louisiana has an opportunity to be bold and set the example that abuse of this taxpayer-funded program will not be tolerated," he said.
