There's a lot of subtext with Gambino's dog concerning Guts relationship to Gambino.
Guts first real fight against hopeless odds is against a pack of wolves immediately after being cast out of Gambino's camp.
Casca later calls him a mad dog or something approximating that.
Guts leaves the Falcons to find his own path instead of being Griffith's loyal dog of war (my interpretation given the context).
Most recently we see Guts represented as a dog dragging Casca's coffin in her dream.
it seems fitting that Guts' "spirit animal" is the canine.
I am not just listing pages with dogs on them and saying, "Wow, there sure are a lot of dogs around here, must be important."
Gambino treats Guts like a dog, even going so far as to call him runt and pup. I mention Gambino's dog because he has more regard for the dog than he does for Guts.
The fight with the wolves happens immediately after Guts is cast out from Gambino's camp. This fight with the wolves echoes the events from Gambino's camp and literally shows Guts as the "other" not belonging to the pack
It is not a 1:1 symmetry but look at it as an archetypal story and as Guts is slaying those wolves, he is slaying his entire life up until that point.
When Casca calls Guts a dog, he got quite upset. Who do you think he was reminded of when Casca called him a dog?
I understand its a common figure of speech BUT we have context
The emotional damage giving rise to the beast does not start with the eclipse
Thematically, Guts can be represented by a dog just as easily as Griffith is by the falcon.
As far as the beast not looking like a dog...Come on! Crop the head off of any picture and asked a friend what animal they are looking at and see what they say. It's obviously not a literal dog because when has Miura ever not been creative in creature design?
We agree on what the beast represents 100%.
I'm really not trying to be rude, but that is what it sounds like to me still.
Well, until he hits it in the face That scene is far more revealing for Gambino than Guts, so I think its purpose is being misconstrued. It shows that Gambino lashes out at boys and dogs alike (hitting both also causes him anguish, but that's another story), both for acting in terms that he would understand as needy. They're both pulling for a part of him that he can't give, because he's got nothing to give. In any case, that dog does not seem to leave an impression on Guts in any way at all, and I really think you're reading way too much into it.
That's a cool insight, but I don't see how it relates back to the Beast of Darkness at all. Trying to draw a pattern for the Beast prior to the Eclipse is a slippery slope into obscurity. You can craft such theories as a way to describe Guts' state of mind, but the Beast began after the Eclipse, specifically because it represents the Eclipse's trauma, and his appetite for revenge.
In that scene, Guts was fighting for survival, even though his will to live had nearly been broken. That's pretty much it. I think you're embellishing with your attempts at symbolism.
Yes, he was upset because she was questioning his bond with the group -- not because he's offended at trash talk. That's the entire point of the scene, and where the discussion goes with Griffith after Casca leaves. It's about Guts actually having changed within the group over the years, a notion which Casca rejects because of her complex over Guts' reckless role in the group. NONE of that has to do with actual animals!
Context which you have manufactured in this thread, not substantive context as presented in the pages of the story.
Sorry, what "dog/wolf themes" ?
I am not just listing pages with dogs on them and saying, "Wow, there sure are a lot of dogs around here, must be important."
the form of the beast has been foreshadowed throughout the series with the dog/wolf themes so it isn't exactly out of left field.
Just PLEASE consider this for a moment. - although you think the idea of Gambino's dog having anything to do with the beast is just completely hilarious, are there really no valid points being made in my entire argument? If you think it's all 100% bullshit then that's fine, we disagree. I'm not 100% right but I may not be 100% wrong. The beast is a part of Guts and the way he looks should reflect that.
Anyway, I would humbly ask you what, if anything, inspired the look of the beast.?
Jeez, I get it - you hate this idea. I'm not trying to dumb anything down, I'm trying to point something out that seemed rather obvious to me. I chose examples off the top of my head and said I could look for more and the thread proceeded from there.
Just PLEASE consider this for a moment.

the meaning and function of its appearance seems more related to representing how wild and dangerous or relatively "domesticated" the beast is behaving than anything else to do with dogs
Frankly, I'm still more interested in how it manifests externally in its first appearance yet is part of Guts' psyche (did those ghosts in volume 16 read his mind or Incept him? =).
Next debate: is Skull Knight a skeleton or is that even a real skull, and are the skulls in the series a reference to him!?
Indeed, the big question with the beast to this day is whether or not it can be tamed. Can Guts keep this side of him under control (a proposition made especially tricky by the Berserk's armor)?
Now that's a good question. I think they were reading his mind. We know they can do that and it would uncharacteristic for them to be able to implant a thought within his mind (they're not that powerful). Regardless, it's interesting that Miura chose to introduce the character through these guys.
The keen observer will immediately know that it is a helmet, for it has rivets.
Berserks (or Berserkers) were old Nordic warriors who fought in a trance-like state of fury, unphased by anything in battle and killing anything in their paths.
Also possibly related to the Nordic influence of Berserk is the mythical beast, Fenrir, which was a monstrous wolf whom even the Norse gods feared (Sound familiar? Guts wishes to challenge the God Hand)
In the end, I consider the Beast of Darkness to be a wolf. If it resembles anything, it's a wolf, and it's safe to assume that Miura drew inspiration from at least one of these Nordic concepts.
Sources also refer to this phenomenon as the hamingja ("spirit" or "soul") or fylgja ("spirit form") of the berserker [...] As for Casca's dream - Dog Guts shouldnt be anything "spiritual" as it is nothing more than within the confines of Casca's mind.
Casca has called Guts a mad dog before, but I found it interesting that Guts was depicted as a hound-like breed. Hounds are the quintessential hunting dog, relentless just like Guts.
I don't doubt this comes out of a good intention but I'm pretty sure everyone here is familiar with the concept of berserkers. That aside I find it odd that you bolded the quote about wolves and not the one about the bear, given that the word "berserk" is derived from "bear" and there is another word specific to wolf-related warriors: úlfhéðnar (which I believe is what your quote about "warriors like mad dogs or wolves" refers to).
I think that's completely far-fetched and I don't see how it relates to Berserk in any way. Also the God Hand does not fear Guts at all.
It doesn't actually resemble a wolf, though. Even in the panels where it exhibits the most canine-like features it's more dog-like than wolf-like. Anyway, I repeat myself, but Miura chose to call it a beast and not something more specific for a reason. Dog, wolf, bear, boar, whatever. It's meant to be a fictional creature, not a specific real life animal. It shifts forms each time we see it in the manga (see Griff's post). Also, to say Miura drew inspiration from the concept of berserks when he called his manga Berserk feels beyond obvious, but I don't see how this relates to your wolf comment.
There is also nothing spiritual about the Beast of Darkness, as it is a personification of a part of Guts' psyche. It is not a spirit (and certainly not Guts' soul), merely a storytelling device created to depict the psychological conflict within Guts' mind.That is, among other things, because those two events are unrelated. The figure of speech Casca used in volume 5 did not inform the representation of Guts in her mind in volume 39.
"Berserk" is indeed probably derived from "bear" but that doesnt mean that berserkers of antiquity were limited to the "bear form"
I never said that the God Hand fears Guts. I just said that Guts opposes the God Hand like Fenrir does.
It looks like a fantastical monstrous wolf to me.
It's heavily implied that the beast is of canine origin. One of the chapters involving the beast of darkness is titled "The Howl from the Darkness"In terms of animal noises, howling is pretty much exclusive to wolves and dogs. That, combined with the appearance of the beast, really suggests that it's some kind of wolf (or dog).
About Casca's dream, Guts being a dog should have some significance. We can only speculate. However, like I said, I think the choice of Guts being what looks like some type of hound is interesting.
Yeah, I'm aware. What I meant is that you shouldn't interpret references through a confirmation bias.
And it doesn't have to, because it's not a wolf. It's a fictional beast. If it were a wolf, it'd be called "The Wolf of Darkness".
Which isn't to say it doesn't have some canine traits. It sure does.
But it's not an actual dog or wolf or any other animal. And it's not meant to represent a specific animal either, it's meant to represent the darkness within Guts. That's why it's called the Beast of Darkness. My feelings about the Beast's design are mostly summed up by Griffith's post above, which I encourage you to read.
As for the title of episode 290, it uses the word "咆哮", which can be translated as "yell; roar; howl". We translated it as "Roar from the Darkness" here. Either way, it's not the definitive proof you're looking for, especially since it occurs 17 volumes after the Beast's introduction.
don't see how this has anything to do with what I said, which is: the figure of speech Casca used in volume 5 did not inform the representation of Guts in her mind in volume 39.
There is no confirmation bias. Everything Miura has put in Berserk is open to personal interpretation unless he has spoken/written on the matter, himself.
There is zero evidence suggesting that Miura wouldve called it the "Wolf of Darkness" if he wanted it to be a wolf. "Wolf" and "beast" are not mutually exclusive to each other. Something can be both a wolf and a beast at the same time.
Same way Griffith doesnt look like the falcons you see in nature lol.
To me this is a big understatement. To me its base is canine, rather than it merely importing some canine traits.
I read Griffith's post. But I still disagree with your opinion that the Beast of Darkness is not canine.
I am almost certain that the Dark Horse translation translates it as "howl." The Dark Horse translation is the official translation.
On what basis can you say with such certainty that the speech Casca used did not inform the representation of Guts in her mind?
At the very least, there does seem to be a motif of Guts and canines. Casca calls him a dog on at least two occasions, Gambino calls him lonely puppy and feral dog, the Beast of Darkness in Guts' mind is suggested to be a canine beast, the Berserker Armor has a lupine design when Guts loses his mind (there is even a volume cover showing Berserker Guts sitting like a wolf in front of a full moon), Guts has pointy ears and pronounced canine teeth, and ultimately Miura straight up decided to portray Guts as a dog in Casca's dream.
Out of everything you list here, the actual solid dog references are the ones I mentioned to buttonmasher before you even posted in this thread.
I think you're positing that throughout childhood, Guts subconsciously cultivated a self-image related to dogs that was then distorted after the Eclipse to become the Beast of Darkness. I can see how that may sound convincing to some. But examine any scene where Guts and dogs are involved, and the connection loses grounding. You're searching for tangible traces of the Beast in Guts' past, which you believe influenced the form it ultimately takes. But I don't think such a thing exists, and it does not need to exist.
This smartly condenses my point exactly. Although you don't agree, I am very happy to see that you do completely understand the case I was making.
The confirmation bias is on your part, when you look at something in an attempt to prove what you already believe. And no, not everything is open to personal interpretation in the story. In fact there are a lot of things in Berserk that are very clearly established.
You seem to be mistaken regarding where the burden of proof lies. The Beast of Darkness clearly does not anatomically represent a wolf. It is also not referred to as such in the story. The one who claims it is meant to represent a specific animal (you) is the one who has to demonstrate what he asserts.
You insisted the Beast of Darkness is meant to specifically depict a wolf. Not a vaguely dog-like entity whose form changes at will, you insisted on a wolf. I merely pointed out to you that it's not the case. Whether you agree or disagree doesn't really matter.
Dark Horse's translation is not word of law on anything. It's often inaccurate, sometimes spectacularly so.
Because there is literally no evidence it is the case, and if the author meant for it to be connected, he would have made it clear. Because it doesn't make sense in the context of the story. Because to think a one time use of a derogatory figure of speech formed the basis for the positive depiction of the character in a way that is the total opposite of said figure of speech is ridiculous. And so on.
See what I said about confirmation bias. That people used common insults or expressions featuring the word "dog" in them doesn't form a motif. Guts' ears and teeth are also not meant to represent a wolf either, and it's pretty funny you'd say so. As for the Berserk's armor, its helmet has taken on the form of the Beast of Darkness. Out of everything you list here, the actual solid dog references are the ones I mentioned to buttonmasher before you even posted in this thread.This whole argument is curious because I don't think there is much disagreement here, but you're trying to make things more definite, more clear than they actually are, and you're using flimsy evidence to do so.

um... whats a 'Cantab'? And shouldn't it be MSc instead of a MA? Never mind, I could wait for you to answer this question, but the odds of you acutally posting an answer to a comment on this ol' post are so slim I'll just google it. P.S. nice gloves, do they come with the outfit? They sorta look like 'em old fashioned duelling gloves that you slap people with to challenge them to a duel. Hmm... maybe you should give one to each of those lovely ladies who thought you deserved an impression of their hand on you face? At least then you'll be humiliated with style (haha).

"Henry and Lydia Ohlhauser Came to the U.S. From Russia in the Early 1900's." Emmons County Record, 15 August 2002, 8.
The Henry and Lydia Ohlhauser Family. From left, Alex, Albert, Lydia, Edwin, Henry, Walter and Hilda.
Henry Ohlhauser was born in 1897 in Russia, Odessa District town of Freuden, the second son of Adam and Elizabeth (also an Ohlhauser but no relation). He had four brothers, Martin, Jake, Adam and Carl, and one sister, Lizzie. One sister died in infancy (name unknown).
Henry's parents and siblings came to the United States in 1901, but Henry was not allowed to board the ship because he had an eye infection‹so at the last minute he had to be left behind. He was a street orphan for awhile; then he was taken in by the Gottlieb Schlittenhart family and came to the U.S. with them (as a Schlittenhart) in 1903.
When Henry reached North Dakota, his parents had homesteaded on a farm west of Hazelton. (that farm was later owned by Adam Jr. or Martin) then Ted and Florence Ohlhauser (then Neil Sautter and now Rolly Hogue Jr. of Fargo). But Henry's parents couldn't afford another mouth to feed so at the age of 7 he became a hired man to Ted Schnaible Sr. and later to George Huber Sr. where he lived and worked until 1924 then he married and moved to his own farm. (Ironically when Henry's parents (both Adam and Elizabeth) became old and couldn't care for themselves anymore-it was to Henry's home they moved and Henry who took care of them until their deaths.
Lydia Schuler was born in 1903 in Russia, Odessa District-town of Groffliebenthal, to Fredrick and Rosina (Meyer). She also came to the U.S. with her family as a young child. She had five brothers, Rudolph, Jake, Ed, Ted and Art, and one sister, Rose, who later became Mrs. Fred Heberle and then after Fred's death, Mrs. Louie Weber. Lintonite Irene Will is a daughter of Rose. The Schulers homesteaded on a farm by Mound City, S.D. Lydia lived with her parents at that farm until her marriage to Henry in 1924.
Henry and Lydia Ohlhauser are pictured at their wedding ceremony in 1924.
Lydia and Henry were married at a country church 8 miles north of Herreid, S.D., in 1924. They bought and moved to a farm 14 miles west of Temvik. (The former Fred Beep farm which is now a pasture 2 miles north of the Ike Lawler farm. There is still a windmill and a small tree bush there that is said to be where their garden was; and where their first born infant, Edwin, was buried when he died a few hours after birth.
In 1936, they bought and moved to the Ferman Busby Farm 12 miles west of Linton. This Busby Farm was originally built in 1917-18 as a tentative railroad delivery stable and hotel so the house and barn were very large and "grand" (elite and fancy) for their time. There was also a small town-Williamsburg-about 10 miles northwest of the Busby place (a few miles north of the Godfrey Grenz/JT Ranch). This small town had an elevator and the Emmons County Courthouse.
Plans were for the railroad to pass by the Busby place and on up past Williamsburg. But plans changed. The courthouse was moved to Linton and the railroad passage was also routed to go through Linton. Ferman Busby never regained his financial losses in this manner, and he went broke because of it.
Henry and Lydia Ohlhauser are pictured
on their 25th Wedding Anniversary in 1949. Lydia passed away
in 1967 and Henry passed away in 1969.
Edwin was born in 1929 at the Linton Hospital (old corner stone building on Hickory Ave.). Edwin attended country school until 5th grade at which time he was taken out of school/kept at home because he was needed to "work on the family farm." Edwin also didn't/couldn't pursue his dream of joining the Army because his father believed he was "needed on the farm more." Edwin married Luella Weber, daughter of Willliam (Bill) and Martha Weber of rural Linton, in 1950. They lived with and worked for Chris Job for about six months; then they bought and moved to the home farm (Busby farm), where they farmed, ranched and lived until moving to Linton in 1963. Luella died in 1987 after a two-year battle with cancer. Edwin continued to farm and ranch until his retirement in 1995. Edwin still owns and rents out the home land.
Edwin and Luella had four children, three sons-in-law and two step-grandchildren. They are Sandi Lawler and Nick Lawler and their four children: Bridget of Fargo, Melanie (Mrs. Lance) Jangula of Linton, Michelle, a college student at Fargo, and Thomas, still at home at Linton; Tammy (Mrs. Rick) Schuette of Fargo and stepdaughters, Amanda and Ashley Schuette, still at home in Fargo; Paula (Mrs. Les) Balliet of Fargo, and their daughter, Sonia (Mrs. Ben) Heidenreich of Seaside, CA; and Jeff Ohlhauser of Fargo. Albert was born in 1931 at the farm home. Albert graduated from Linton High School in 1948. During his high school years he "boarded" at the Dave Job home. He was active in football for awhile until he injured his back and had to quit.
While in high school Albert worked for the Lloyd Roberts Bakery and the Tillie and Tony (Scoop) Calhoun Cafe. After graduating Albert joined the Army in Nov. 1948, for 3 1/2 years serving in the Korean War during that time.
Walter was born in 1932 at the farm home. Walter attended country school to grade 7 or 8. He then worked for various farmers and contractors until joining the army in 1952 for 3 years, serving in the Korean War during that time.
Walter married Violet Haid, daughter of John and Pauline Haid, in Linton in 1956. They lived in various homes in Linton before purchasing the former George Naumann and James Mona-han home in Temvik (that home was also considered very "grand" for its day and is now owned by Scott and Margaret Schaar) where they lived for 15 years until moving into Linton, where Violet still lives today.
Over the years, Walter was part-owner and operator of J&W Gas Station (with brother-in-law John Ackerman) for a short time, worked many years for Linton Gambles Store (owned by a Mrs. Yengling), did part-time farming and worked for Hazelton Farmers Union for 20 years. Water died in 1992 after suffering many years with rheumatoid arthritis and heart problems. Walter and Violet have six children; two daughters-in-law; five sons-in-law, 18 grandchildren and at this time 2 great grandchildren.
They are Rod and Bonnie (Schiermeister) Ohlhauser and son, Mason, of Bismarck; Holly (Mrs. Mark) Johnson and their children: Kara (Mrs. Andy) Speidel (Maple Grove, MN), Travis and Shannon (Linstad) and daughter Hadley of Thompson, Lacey and Morgan, of Lisbon; Paulette (Mrs. Craig) DeVos, and their children Casey and Amiee, of Bismarck; Pam (Mrs. David) Adrian of Binford and her daughters (from a previous marriage to Al Bjornson of Mandan): Emily Bjornson of Mandan and Amanda (Mrs. Michael) Gill and thier child Caroline of Moorhead; Byan and Laura (Miller) Ohlhauser and their children: Amber, Justin, Adam and Jessica, all of Lakota; and Heidi (Mrs. Elwin) Nieuwsma of Linton and their children: Matthew, Tyler, Nicole, Katie and Noah.
Alex was born in 1934 at the farm home. Alex graduated from Linton High School in 1951. During his high school years he "boarded" at the Henry Knittel home.
After graduating, Alex immediately joined the army for 4 years spending 18 months of that time serving in the Korean War. Alex married Jean Lammert, daughter of William and Alma Lammert of Hazelton, in 1956. They lived in Linton, where Alex worked for the National Guard (In 1961 he served 10 mos. active duty in the U.S. during the Cuban Crisis) until 1963. At that time, they bought and moved to the Herman Meier farm (west of Linton by the Missouri River). Their farm home was destroyed by fire in 1985, and they moved to their present home in Linton.
Alex continued farming and ranching until 1988. He is now the service officer for the North Dakota Veterans Association (a position he has held since 1985). Alex and Jean have four children, three daughters-in-law and eleven grandchildren.
They are Monte and Judane (Schmaltz) Ohlhauser and their children: Heather, Brandon and Tiffany, all of Bismarck; Wanda Ohlhauser and her children: Jared, Jessica and Joshlon, all of Mandan; Marlin and Sheila (Dosch) Ohlhauser and their children: Waylon, Brent and Austin, all of Linton; and Henry and Tori (Volk) Ohlhauser and their children, Emily and Issac, all of Bismarck.
Pictured is the house on the Ferman Busby farm, located about 12 miles west
of Linton. The farm, built in 1917, was purchased by Henry Ohlhauser in
1936, and his son, Edwin, later purchased the farm and lived there from 1950 to 1963. The house was originally supposed to serve as a hotel, but the
railroad changed its route, and the plans for the hotel did not materialize.
The house is still standing, but it has been unoccupied for almost 40 years.
Hilda was born in 1935 at the Linton Hospital (old cornerstone building on Hickory Ave.). Hilda attended country school to grade 8. She then worked at Les Renschler's Linton Cafe 3 years, Linton Red Owl Store 1 year and lived in Billings, Mont., for 1 year.
Hilda then moved back to North Dakota and married Darrel Weber (son of Ed and Hazel Weber of Minot) in 1955.

Catholic social justice organizations, including Pax Christi USA petitioned President Barack Obama on May 6 to support the formation of an independent commission to investigate the use of torture by U.S. interrogators on suspected terrorists. The petition followed the release of declassified Justice Department memoranda that outline the legal justifications for the so-called enhanced interrogation of detainees in the years following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The memos set the stage for the use of techniques deemed by human rights activists to be torture, including waterboarding, which causes the sensation of drowning, and exposure to extreme temperatures, sleep deprivation and physical violence. While commending Mr. Obama for his executive order banning torture and his order to close the prison at Guantenamo Bay, Cuba, the signatories argued that a commission would help expose "these horrific practices" and allow the nation to move toward reconciliation and healing.

There is still time to register for the National Agronomic Environmental Health and Safety School that will be held at the ASMARK Institute AgriCenter at Bloomington, Ill, Aug. 20-21.
Registration can be completed by going to the website: www.naehss.org.
Safety coordinators and those in charge of regulatory issues at agricultural retailer sites, agricultural distributorships, fertilizer plants and formulator facilities are main targets for attending the school-although there are others with responsibility for maintenance and operational oversight that can gain knowledge for handling their jobs, too.
In case you are hesitant to click the website link for this year's agenda, here are some of the highlights, other than the keynote speaker's unspecified topic: Washington, D.C., perspective; West, Texas, fertilizer explosion report; five-year RMP update; ASABE standards for agriculture; confined space safety; OSHA hot topics; handling violence in the workplace; safety equipment for extraction; bee health issues; DOT medical certification requirements; sweep auger issues and options; and third-party inspections. You can check out all the detailers of this year's agenda on the website.
The one and one-half day school has been drawing participants from coast to coast because it is one of few conferences, if there actually is another similar one, that addresses this specific ag audience and provides such a wide variety of educational sessions.
The NAEHSS overlaps with the Midwest Ag Industries Exposition (MAGIE). The school starts one day earlier than MAGIE and ends mid-day of the show's opening.

Lipodystrophy, Body Changes and HIV/AIDS
November 13, 2015
Table of Contents
What Is Lipodystrophy?
Lipodystrophy means abnormal fat changes. It is used to describe a number of changes in body fat that are experienced by many people living with HIV (HIV+). Lipodystrophy can also include changes in fat and sugar levels in the blood of people living with HIV. Although there is no official definition of lipodystrophy in HIV, it is generally broken down into two categories:
People living with HIV can experience both body shape changes and metabolic complications. This is sometimes called lipodystrophy syndrome.
Body Shape Changes
Changes in the shape of your body can be caused by fat loss, fat build up, or fat redistribution.
Fat loss may happen in the:
Fat build up may happen in the:
Some studies show that lipodystrophy affects men and women differently. Women are more likely to see fat gain in their breasts and stomachs while men are more likely to see fat loss in their legs, arms, buttocks, or faces. However, many men and women suffer from both symptoms. It is not clear why there might be differences based on sex. It may have something to do with hormones or with how men and women burn fat differently.
Lipodystrophy can dramatically change your appearance. These changes can leave some people with feelings of poor self-image and low self-esteem. Some people may want to stop taking their HIV drugs. Others may put off HIV treatment due to fear of experiencing lipodystrophy symptoms. If you are feeling this way, it is important to talk to your health care provider so that you take the necessary steps to improve your health. It is also important to know that many newer HIV drugs are less likely to cause lipodystrophy. If you are taking HIV drugs that do cause lipodystrophy, you and your provider can consider switching to HIV drugs that may reduce these symptoms.
Metabolic Complications
Changes in fat (lipids) and sugar (glucose) in your blood are called metabolic complications and include:
Metabolic changes cannot be seen with the naked eye; they can only be confirmed through blood tests. Without treatment, they can cause serious long-term health problems.
It is important that you and your health care provider make sure you get regular lab tests to check for metabolic complications. Call your health care provider right away if you are experiencing symptoms of lactic acidosis.
What Causes Lipodystrophy?
Scientists have many theories about what causes lipodystrophy and research in this area is ongoing. However, the exact causes of lipodystrophy are still unknown. There may be different causes for different symptoms. It is important to know that the HIV drugs that are most likely to cause the different types of lipodystrophy listed below are older HIV drugs that are rarely used today.
Not everyone taking HIV drugs develops body shape changes or problems with fat or sugar levels in the blood. Researchers have been looking for other factors that may cause lipodystrophy. The following appear to be risk factors:

We expound several principles in an attempt to clarify
the debate over infrared loop corrections to the primordial scalar and tensor
power spectra from inflation. Among other things we note that existing
proposals for nonlinear extensions of the scalar fluctuation field $\zeta$
introduce new ultraviolet divergences which no one understands how to
renormalize. Loop corrections and higher correlators of these putative
observables would also be enhanced by inverse powers of the slow roll parameter
$\epsilon$. We propose an extension which might be better behaved.

The Inside Line: Front Row Motorsports relishing Talladega win
Philadelphia, PA – David Ragan proved that just about anybody can win at Talladega Superspeedway.
If a driver can avoid being caught up in the big wrecks and be in the thick of things during the final lap around this 2.66-mile superspeedway, then he or she has a shot of crossing the finish line in first place.
That was indeed the case on Sunday at Talladega.
Ragan avoided the first major accident, involving 16 cars, in the early going and then the second big one, claiming 12 cars, in the closing laps. The last caution set up a two-lap overtime finish, as darkness approached due to a rain delay of 3 hours, 36 minutes earlier in the day.
Heading into the last lap, Ragan ran in the sixth position, while his Front Row Motorsports teammate, David Gilliland, was right behind him in seventh. Gilliland pushed Ragan on the backstretch before Ragan dipped below Carl Edwards and passed him for the lead in turn 3. Gilliland moved into second.
Ragan went on to beat Gilliland to the finish line by 0.2 seconds, while Edwards crossed the line in a close third.
"I knew once I came out of turn 4 I had enough steam that I could have made my car wide enough that I was going to make it back around to the start-finish line," Ragan said. "It's a huge, huge deal for us to be sitting here right now, and it makes it even more special to get a one-two finish. Can you believe that?"
Edwards, who was attempting to win at Talladega for the first time, said he had no idea Ragan and Gilliland were charging through the field the way they did on the final lap. Edwards had passed Matt Kenseth for the lead right after the restart for the green-white-checkered finish. Kenseth had been dominant throughout the race, leading 142 of 192 laps.
"I had a blast, and on the white-flag lap I thought we were going to win it until I saw those guys (Ragan and Gilliland) coming, and I thought, 'Who is that?' and they were coming," Edwards said. "I blocked as much as I could. David did everything but spin me out down the back straightaway. He was all over the back bumper. I could feel from the way he was pushing and moving that if I turned to stay across his hood and they went one way and I went the other that I knew I was going to be on the highlight reel for the wrong reasons."
Edwards was thankful the last lap in this race wasn't a repeat of what happened in the 2009 spring event at Talladega, where he crashed spectacularly into the catch fence along the front stretch while battling Brad Keselowski for the win.
Ragan claimed his second career Sprint Cup Series victory. His first win came in July 2011 at Daytona, the sister track to Talladega, when he drove for Roush Fenway Racing. His Talladega victory also earned him a spot in the May 18 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte.
"That's a big deal for our team and for our sponsors," he said. "We try to sell Front Row Motorsports, and it's tough to sell a team when we run 15th or 20th or 25th, and we're not battling for a championship. It's tough to do that, and it means a lot to be in our all-star event in our sport, which I think is the best all-star event in any of the major league sports."
Ragan delivered Front Row Motorsports its first win in NASCAR's premier series, which gives the underfunded three-car team a huge boost in securing more sponsorship opportunities. Josh Wise, a Nationwide Series regular, also drives for the team.
"It will help our program; there's no doubt about that," team owner Bob Jenkins said. "My philosophy from the beginning is, in this sport, you have to make your own place at the table. Nobody is going to give it to you. I've always felt like if we can go out and perform and put out a good product, then sponsorship will come, respect will come and hopefully wins will come. That's kind of been our attitude all along."
Jenkins' team entered Sprint Cup competition in 2005, and ran a limited schedule with many lesser-known drivers during its first four years in the series. Gilliland joined the team in 2010, while Ragan came on board two years later.
Prior to Ragan's win at Talladega, the best finish for a Front Row Motorsports driver in a Cup race was Gilliland's third-place run in the 2011 Daytona 500. Ragan gave the team its second top-five finish last October, placing fourth at Talladega.
"We've worked really hard at Front Row on our speedway program, because it's a great equalizer racing at Daytona and Talladega," said Jay Guy, who serves as the crew chief for Ragan's No. 34 Ford. "This is our chance to shine, so we always put a little extra effort into these races. Did I think when I woke up (Sunday) morning that we were going to be sitting here? No. I thought we had a good shot at being in the top 10 solidly. Last year, we finished seventh and fourth, but that's last year. You can't live off of what you did yesterday.
"I thought our pit crew has taken a big step forward, and our team has gotten stronger as a whole. I thought we had a chance, but to be up here, I'd be lying if I said yeah."
Before Talladega, Ragan had finished no better than 20th and Gilliland 23rd this season.
"Some day we want to be an organization that can go and compete for wins on a weekly basis, but we're not there yet," Gilliland said. "So to be able to come to these type of tracks, we definitely put a lot of preparation into and a lot of emphasis on our speedway program, and (Sunday), we had two very fast race cars, and we were able to come home 1-2."
Currently 26th in the point standings, Ragan's odds of making this year's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship are about the same as his chances were of winning at Talladega, which were quite slim. But, hey, Daytona's second race of the season is two months away. If Ragan can win another race and hold a top-20 position in points when the regular season concludes on Sept. 7 at Richmond, then he has a very good shot of earning one of the two wild card positions for the Chase.
Front Row Motorsports would certainly savor that accomplishment.

This is a belt buckle and it was made in the South but what you see isn't real. As a patternmaker in the Navy in the late '60's and early '70's I often found myself in the molding shop. One of the molders had an original CSA buckle and we decided to make some for ourselves. These were cast in brass and I soldered mine to a issued buckle and wore it for several years. The slide buckle finely fell apart which left the skeleton on the obverse. I was reminded of this by fhrjr2 when he commented on another item I had placed on here.
If i remember correctly the real CSA buckle was pressed or hammered and not cast.

J.J. Cale, a laconic, Oklahoma-born musician who shunned the spotlight but gained fame by penning such hits as "After Midnight" and "Cocaine," has died. He was 74.
His death from a heart attack Friday at a La Jolla hospital was disclosed on his website and by Mike Kappus, the head of his management agency.
In 1970, Cale, a self-taught guitarist, was just scraping by in Tulsa when he heard Eric Clapton on the radio singing "After Midnight." Four years earlier, Cale had written the song and released it to deafening silence.
"I couldn't give that record away," he told The Times in 1988. "It stiffed so bad."
With Cale surviving off occasional gigs at bars and irregular day jobs delivering flowers, the Clapton version struck him as a godsend.
"When I heard it," Cale recalled, "I said, 'Oh man, I might stay with the music business.' "
He did — but on his terms.
Cale was so famously publicity-shy that for the first 15 years of his career, he didn't put his photo on any of his albums. In a business fueled by media attention, the laid-back pioneer of the down-home, bluesy style that came to be called the Tulsa Sound seldom gave interviews. And when the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame voted him in and asked him to attend a ceremony, he respectfully declined.
Hugh Foley, a founder of the hall of fame, said Cale probably would be inducted posthumously.
Cale was known for his "laissez-faire vocal delivery and warm tones," said Foley, author of the Oklahoma Music Guide. "He created a signature I-want-my-MTV sound of the early 1980s."
Cale also was an audio engineer who made many of his own recordings, a virtuoso not just with his guitar — he used a beat-up Sears model for years — but also with sound equipment.
"J.J. was always crawling around on the floor plugging in wires," said Steve Ripley, an Oklahoma musician and record producer. "It was part of the process — kind of a J.J. Cale Okie Zen."
Cale drew devoted fans in the music industry.
In his 2007 autobiography, Clapton called him "one of the most important artists in the history of rock, quietly representing the greatest asset his country has ever had."
The rock musician Beck praised Cale for his apparent "effortlessness."
"The power of doing less and holding back in a song — I've taken a lot of influence from that," Beck said.
Cale's songs have been covered by many performers, including Waylon Jennings ("Louisiana Women"), Carlos Santana ("Sensitive Kind") and Randy Crawford ("Cajun Moon"). In 2009, Cale told The Times that three of his songs — "After Midnight" and "Cocaine," and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Call Me the Breeze" — provided about 80% of his income.
Cale is survived by his wife, Christine Lakeland, a vocalist and keyboardist he met in Nashville.
John Weldon Cale was born Dec. 5, 1938, in Oklahoma City and grew up in Tulsa. In 1964, after a brief tour with the Grand Ole Opry, he moved to Los Angeles. Four years later, he and some friends, calling themselves the Leathercoated Minds, put out a psychedelic-style album called "A Trip Down the Sunset Strip." The same year, he moved back to Tulsa.
Along the way, he became J.J. Cale. There already was a rocker named John Cale, who played with the Velvet Underground.
Clapton's "After Midnight" breathed new life into Cale's career. He made his first album — "Naturally" — and moved to Nashville. Working from his own Crazy Mama's studio, he worked enough over the next decade to enter what he called "semi-retirement" in California. He moved into a gleaming Airstream trailer in an Anaheim RV park and eventually settled on three acres outside Escondido.
Every few years he came out with another album. In 1990, the Times described his "Travel-Log" as "redolent of low-rent good times, barbecue smoke and corrugated metal, but there is also enough snap and sizzle … that Cale could kick the blocks away from his tires and scream down the road any time he chose."
In 2008, he and Clapton won a Grammy for their album "The Road to Escondido."
Escondido city fathers tried to contact him, but in a 2009 Times interview Cale said he put them off as long as he could.
"They wanted me to talk to the chamber of commerce," he recalled. "And I said, you know, I'm not a chamber-of-commerce kind of guy."

Diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of groups or nations. In an informal or social sense, diplomacy is the employment of tact to gain strategic advantage, one set of tools being the phrasing of statements in a non-confrontational, or social manner.
- DIPLOMACY, n. The patriotic art of lying for one's country.
- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary (1948), p. 72 (originally published in 1906 as The Cynic's Word Book).
- It was this idea (Be nice!) that fueled liberals' rage at Reagan when he vanquished the Soviet Union with his macho "cowboy diplomacy" that was going to get us all blown up. As the Times editorial page hysterically described Reagan's first year in office: "Mr. Reagan looked at the world through gun sights." Yes, he did! And now the Evil Empire is no more.
- Mr. Scott: Diplomats. The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank.
- Star Trek: The Original Series A Taste of Armageddon (1966), teleplay by Gene L. Coon and Robert Hamner
- It would be some time before I fully realized that the United States sees little need for diplomacy; power is enough. Only the weak rely on diplomacy. This is why the weak are so deeply concerned with the democratic principle of the sovereign equality of states, as a means of providing some small measure of equality for that which is not equal in fact. Coming from a developing country, I was trained extensively in international law and diplomacy and mistakenly assumed that the great powers, especially the United States, also trained their representatives in diplomacy and accepted the value of it. But the Roman Empire had no need for diplomacy. Nor does the United States. Diplomacy is perceived by an imperial power as a waste of time and prestige and a sign of weakness.

- A Foreign Secretary—and this applies also to a prospective Foreign Secretary—is always faced with this cruel dilemma. Nothing he can say can do very much good, and almost anything he may say may do a great deal of harm. Anything he says that is not obvious is dangerous; whatever is not trite is risky. He is forever poised between the cliché and the indiscretion.

- These, then, are the qualities of my ideal diplomatist. Truth, accuracy, calm, patience, good temper, modesty and loyalty. They are also the qualities of an ideal diplomacy. But, the reader may object, you have forgotten intelligence, knowledge, discernment, prudence, hospitality, charm, industry, courage and even tact. I have not forgotten them. I have taken them for granted.
- Sir Harold George Nicolson, Diplomacy (1939), chapter 3, p. 126.
- There are all sorts of things you have to do in foreign policy, to get along in the world. To lessen tensions and prevent war. You have to hold your nose and deal with beasts. But you don't have to tell outrageous and insulting lies, and you don't have to break faith...

Minnesota Vikings' GM Rick Spielman is receiving plaudits from all corners for his round one maneuverings in this year's NFL draft. Convincing Cleveland to cede three second-day picks to move up one spot in the draft certainly supports that view--if not also saying something about Cleveland. Spielman relied on those extra picks to support a five-spot move out of the second round and into the bottom of the first round where he took Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith.
Most draft experts had Smith pegged as a late first round or early second round selection. Given that he fills a dramatic need for the Vikings at safety, and given, as well, that teams drafting between where the Vikings took Smith and where the Vikings otherwise would have drafted in the second round, the move up and the selection of Smith appear astute.
But as much as his first round maneuverings appear sagacious, the results merely reinforce the perception that Spielman's approach to free-agency was grossly flawed. Contending that the Vikings were "not merely one player away" from competing next year, Spielman essentially opted out of free-agency, signing only secondary players and doing little to address the Vikings' pressing need for starters at several positions.
In Matt Kalil and Smith, the Vikings have filled two immediate needs, leaving the team with needs at cornerback and wide-receiver. The team could have filled either need in free agency, leaving it either one or zero players away from fielding a competitive team at all positions in 2012. Instead, it opted for a route routinely debunked as a necessary or even useful route to success in the NFL--that of the slow build.
If the Vikings happen to identify a receiver or corner in pre-season cuts, all might still work out. If not, Minnesota ought justly to lament the missed opportunities presented in this year's free agency and, at the very least, consider the 2012 free-agency a learning moment going forward.
Up Next: More Draft.

They say nice guys finish last, so a matchmaker on Monday tried to help Chandler Harnish, the last player chosen in the NFL Draft, find a woman.
"I have to say this for my girlfriend's sake: I'm taken," Harnish said.
It should be the other way around, for his sake when he sees his girlfriend, Tanya Rachan, again.
The quarterback has only spent a couple of days in Newport Beach and he is doing his best to scramble away from the ladies. He will have to avoid groupies for two more days.
Harnish's first mistake was leaving his girl at home during his special week as Mr. Irrelevant XXXVII. Where are his linemen to protect him?
Harnish was one of two quarterbacks drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, the first one went No. 1 overall in the draft and the second one went dead last.
You have probably heard of Andrew Luck, the top draft pick out of Stanford. Can you believe his backup, pick No. 253 out of Northern Illinois, is the one that gets to have all the fun this week?
"I think he was a little jealous," said Harnish of Luck, adding that Luck has been to Newport Beach quite a few times and Luck even gave him advice on where to go in town.
In his first trip to California, Harnish has golfed at Big Canyon Country Club and visited Disneyland and the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and Marina.
The latest stop was for his Irrelevant Week arrival party. He walked in with a white pony at his side, not from behind, because the emcee said you never want to be behind a horse.
A sportswriter was the emcee. Not many laughed at Steve Fryer's jokes. That is why he writes about sports for the Orange County Register and not jokes for comedians.
A matchmaker from Palm and Associates in Newport Beach quickly took over on the stage and grabbed the microphone. She must have thought she was talking to a future millionaire client in Harnish. The guy sitting on a lifeguard tower hasn't made the NFL just yet.
One person who played in the NFL climbed onto the stage. Paul Salata, the founder of Irrelevant Week, wore some colorful pants. He even played for the Colts, back in 1950, when they were from Baltimore.
Since NFL teams don't have fight songs, Salata did the next best thing. He had the fight song for his alma mater, USC, played. USC still pays players, right?
The fight song was played with a trumpet by someone who blows into one before horse races at Santa Anita Park. Salata joked that the guy with the trumpet knows which horse will win each race. Harnish might want to ask the guy which Colt will finish second to Luck on the quarterback depth chart, him or veteran Drew Stanton.
If Harnish doesn't make the Colts, at least he received hundreds of gifts during his arrival party. Salata began reading the gifts off flash cards. He was as difficult to understand as Colts owner Jim Irsay on Twitter.
"I used to do this faster," said Salata, who is 85.
Harnish got a tie from Goodwill, a welcome mat, a Dodger hat, an umbrella, swim trunks, and a Hawaiian shirt, which he'll never get to use in Hawaii as a player. Has there ever been a Mr. Irrelevant in the Pro Bowl in Honolulu?
He also received the kind of helmet a fan for the Minnesota Vikings would wear at a game. Harnish sported the helmet with horns proudly.
Did the Colts trade Harnish to the Vikings during the first day of Irrelevant Week?
The fun continues for Mr. Irrelevant on Tuesday at the All-Star Lowsman Banquet at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa.

While sipping her morning tea and reading the morning paper through the very stylish glasses perched on her nose, Bike Girl encountered some unfortunate news.
The Daily News reports with the increase in the number of cyclists using their bikes to connect with public transit, has come a spike in bike theft. The Daily News says 15 bikes have been stolen from Orange Line stations this year. That's up from 10 last year. That includes 5 from the Balboa station and three from north
Bike Girl applauds the Angelenos who, like her, have eschewed their cars in favor of mass transit. But she worries that these commuters will become frustrated if their trusty steeds are stolen. For tips on the best way to lock a bicycle, click here. Bike Girl recommends Kryptonite and Anti-Jack locks.
In the meantime, while the LAPD seems determined to create barriers to prevent new cyclists from riding, the L.A. County Sheriff's department is doing something to help the increasing numbers of bike commuters.
Sheriffs Deputy Dan Finkelstein told the Daily news that security cameras are not pointed towards Metro's bike racks. He says the Department is asking Metro to change that. In the meantime, undercover deputies planted a bait bike at the
Metro has suggested cyclists use the bike lockers provided at some stations to store their 'cycles during their mixed-transit travels. However, Bike Girl has been told that some commuters have had difficulty obtaining a bike locker. She was informed by a Rida' that he had been on a waiting list for a locker for months. Metro has also suggested commuters use folding bikes. Bike Girl thinks that for some commuters, folding bikes are an interesting idea. But she also points out that these bicycles are not common on the streets of
Bike Girl would like to encourage those commuters who've had their bicycles stolen to buy a cheap bike, an expensive lock, and get back on the horse. For more advice on how best to lock your bicycle, check out this video.

Microsoft's popular Wordament game has enjoyed success across the board and the game is set to sport a sequel as early as tomorrow – Wordament Snap Attack. If you're not familiar with Wordament, it's a word game putting players against each other in a continuous series of two minute matches to find as many words as possible. Snap Attack will be changing things up without sacrificing on gameplay.
The sequel is set to launch on Windows Phones and Windows 8 from tomorrow, and later this summer for both Android and iOS hardware. Snap Attack will be a Scrabble-type sequel tasking players to utilize seven letters and create as many words as possible during a 2:30 minute session. Provided letter pieces snap onto an on-screen board with a handful of words already present.
Much like the original Wordament, Snap Attack will display words the player could have created at the end of each round, should they happen to miss any. You then have the leaderboard and multiplayer aspects of the title, which make it incredibly addicting to try and beat friends.

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has produced these webcasts to help students and teachers better understand the rapidly growing field of genetics and genomics. NHGRI researchers present information about the impact of Human Genome Project discoveries, the exciting research and advances in genetics and genomics that have resulted from genomic research, and the broad range of genetic and genomic career opportunities.
To view the webcasts on this page, you will need RealPlayer, which you can download for free for either a PC or a Macintosh computer.
|Genomics: Towards a Healthier You
NHGRI social and behavioral researcher Barbara Biesecker, talks about the importance of family history in predicting disease risk for single gene disorders and complex genetic disorders. The singer and performer T-Boz shares her personal story about living with sickle cell anemia as one example of genetic health issues. Ms. Biesecker highlights the use of genetic testing and reasons whether or not to be tested. The career of a genetic counselor is highlighted.
|The Genome Era: What it Means to You
Former NHGRI Director Francis Collins describes the "genomic research adventure" that is leading to new and more precise ways to diagnose, treat and prevent common and rare genetic diseases. Dr. Collins talks about how scientists study the human genome, and what they have learned from sequencing the genome. He presents the story of a little boy, Sam, who is living with the rare disease progeria and uses this story to illustrate how understanding the genetic basis of the disease is helping researchers find a treatment. Ethical, legal and social issues such as the potential misuse of genetic information are discussed. Careers in genomics presented include: laboratory researcher; clinical researcher; researchers in ethical, legal and social issues; and genetic counselors.
|The Power of Comparison: Unleashing the Dog Genome
NHGRI researcher Dr. Elaine A. Ostrander focuses on the "powerful tool" of comparative genomics - comparisons of genes with organisms. Dr. Ostrander discussess comparing the portions of genes from different species - such as the chicken, wallabee and pufferfish - that have common functions, and how the divergence of these genes is shedding light on evolution of the human genome. Dr. Ostrander's research focuses on genetic variation between seven major groups of the domestic dog. Sequencing dog genomes and comparing them to the human genome allows researchers to learn about what genes or portions of genes are conserved across species.
|Life in the Lab
In this presentation, you will meet three young, very different scientists who are just launching their genome careers. Each scientist tells his or her personal story, how they were drawn to research and what it takes to become a scientist (curiosity and attention to detail), poviding examples of how scientists make discoveries, such as the "tilted mouse." The scientists also describe the collaborative life of the laboratory and the strong sense of camaraderie they experience. They stress that anyone can become a scientist, where everyone fits in because everyone is different.
|DNA - The Next Generation
Filmed in front of a live student audience, this webcast features Nobel Laureate James Watson and Former NHGRI Director Francis Collins discussing the history and future of human genetics. Dr. Watson and Dr. Collins talk about the advances in their research since the description of the shape of DNA 50 years ago; how genes might be replicated; and the mapping and sequencing of the human genome in 2003. Dr. Watson recalls his "eureka moment," when discovering the shape of the double helix, while students from the audience participate in an exercise of matching up base pairs. NHGRI researcher Vence Bonham participates in the discussion about using genetic discoveries wisely and Dr. Collins encourages students to consider a career in genomics

Pink Saves Puppy's Life
Here's a heartwarming holiday tale for animal lovers! Pink is known for her toned frame and tatted up tough girl image, but the new mom also has a big heart. The 'Bridge of Light' singer has a soft spot for animals -- she even has a tattoo to show it. Recently, Pink put her money where her mouth is when she paid $5,000 to save a strange puppy's life.
TMZ reports that Mrs. Carey Hart was surfing the Web when she found an article about a poor puppy that had been tossed over a Los Angeles overpass into the L.A. River, breaking three of its legs (and our hearts!). The unfortunate fur ball, named Stella (aw!) needed immediate emergency surgery to survive -- and Pink foot the bill.
Pink was completely proactive in her aid to the pup. She personally contacted Ace of Hearts, an animal rescue organization, and offered to pay for absolutely any medical expense necessary to rescue the dog. The total costs came to about $5,000. The dog has since not only recovered, but was also adopted into a loving family just in time for the holidays.
This Christmas Eve, we'll raise our glasses to Pink and her protective, generous nature. Willow Sage is a lucky little lady!

dchouinard needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 51 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
I need a logo for a new residential subdivision in the mountains of Western North Carolina. I'd like the logo to be professional looking, but unique, inviting and easy to remember.
Thanks in advance for your ideas and creativity!
Shadow Creek Preserve
I need a logo for a large entrance sign (4' x 8'), web page, print ads, business cards, and letterhead.
The subdivision has a creek running down the middle, with the building lots on the upward slopes on either side of the creek. It also has a number of trees and is in a secluded cove.
- Some possible thoughts are outlines of mountains, trees, a cabin, etc.,
BUT I am open to thinking outside that "box". I'd prefer colors that will pop
out, but also will need a good gray scale version for some b & w
print ads, etc.- Need original Photo Shop file to be large with 300 dpi or better for large media use, i.e., large entrance sign and/or billboard- Will possibly also need vector file for sign company- I will want the file in it's original layered format so that I can potentially make minor changes like the font itself, font color, etc. at a later date myself, as I have Photo Shop CS3 on my Mac.
- Please use no clip art, stock photography or stock
artwork that would require separate purchase or royalty fees, etc.- A font that is not readily available to download, as I'd potentially like to tie in the font used when I make business cards, a web site, etc.

News abounds these days about iPhone apps being created and used by Catholic dioceses, newspapers and other church entities. Take the newly released confession app, not meant to be a substitute for confession but to help Catholics prepare for the sacrament.
Now a publisher of Catholic children's books based in La Jolla, Calif., has teamed up with a university to create an iPad application. The publisher is Rock House Press and the university is John Paul the Great Catholic University in San Diego.
A recent story by Our Sunday Visitor that is posted on the book publisher's website describes the team effort. Ilow Roque, president and founder of the company, says he sees many evangelization opportunities in e-books and new media.

Product Description
Non Genuine Brother toner to suit:- BROTHER HL L2350DW, BROTHER HL L2375DW, BROTHER HL L2395DW, BROTHER MFC L2710DW, BROTHER MFC L2713DW, BROTHER MFC L2730DW, BROTHER MFC L2750DW
Are Non Genuine (also known as Generic) cartridges as reliable as Genuine?
The question you need to ask yourself first is - If this cartridge does not work in my machine can I afford the downtime? It can take a day or so to arrange a replacement. If you only have one printer in the office and it is critical that it works all of the time then maybe you should consider sticking with Genuine cartridges. If the machine is not that important or you have another printer that you can use in the event of any trouble then Non Genuine are worth a try. In the event of a problem the savings on a Non Genuine can far out-weigh the costs of a Genuine cartridge.
Non Genuine cartridges are manufactured to perform and print just as good as a Genuine cartridge. But we like to be honest and upfront right from the start. Expect a problem at some stage with a Non Genuine cartridge.
In saying that, we have customers who have never had a faulty Non Genuine cartridge and we have had others that have had several. We simply don't know until you purchase and take it out of the box and try it in your printer. As we are a reputable company and have been around for 31 years, we are not in the business of selling rubbish. It not only costs us money it costs us "bad will" with you, our customer. We are in the business of keeping you happy - not making you unhappy.
Our return rate is around 1%. We will always credit, exchange or refund you for a faulty cartridge. Even up to 12 months from the date of purchase.
If you do get a faulty cartridge, don't simply throw it out and write us off. Pickup the phone or email us so we know there is a problem and fix it. Every company and product experiences a problem at some stage. The measure of a good company is how they deal with that problem. You will always find exceptional after sales support from us.
We sell two brands of this cartridge - AusJet and Q-Image. If one does not work, 99% of the time the other brand will work. You can request either AusJet or Q-Image if you prefer one over the other.
