SexIs - Provocative Sex Magazine

1. Being drop-dead tired - Exhaustion seems like the status quo for busy parents, but it can also be a warning sign of something serious. How to tell the difference: "Go through a check-list," says internist Sandra A. Fryhofer, M.D. "Have you been getting your usual amount of sleep? Are you eating normally? Is your schedule the same as always?" If you or your hus-band struggle to get out of bed but there's no lifestyle change that could be to blame, the cause could be as simple as anemia or as complicated as cancer. "It's easy to rule things out with tests," Fryhofer says, but many people wait to get help because they think it means they can't hack work or parenthood. That's just wrong: Fatigue is your body's way of telling you some-thing. So listen to your body and call your doctor.!

2. Painful sex - If sex hurts, tell your doctor right away, says Mark Perloe, M.D., an ob/gyn in Atlanta. If it's not simple dryness (easily fixed with lube), painful sex might be an indication that something is wrong. It could be a vaginal infection, benign fibroid tumors in the uterus, or — perhaps most serious — endometriosis. Endo, which affects 5.5 million women, mostly in their 30s and 40s, is a condition in which the lining of the uterus grows outside of the organ in the pelvic area and often causes heavy, painful periods. Aside from enjoying sex again, treatment is key because endometriosis can cause infertility.

3. Feeling really, really thirsty - Excessive thirst and peeing all the time (possibly coupled with unexplained weight loss) are blaring warning signs of type 2 diabetes in adults and juvenile diabetes in kids, which often pops up around puberty, says Elizabeth Seaquist, M.D., a professor of endocrinology at the University of Minnesota Medical School. Diabetes in grown-ups and kids is serious business. Not only does it more than double a person's risk of heart disease, but it can also lead to stroke, blindness, and even some cancers. Rates of type 2 diabetes have gotten so high that a recent study warned that if Americans don't start exercising and losing weight, a whopping 50 percent of adults will have the disease or pre-diabetes by 2020.

4. Weird testicle changes
- Men have a reputation for being obsessed with sex, but when it comes to sex organs, most could be a little more attentive. "Men should be watching for changes, pain, or lumps in their testicles," says S. Adam Ramin, M.D., a urologist in Los Angeles. Encourage him to check for swelling and tenderness — signs of testicular cancer. Seventy-five percent of cases occur in men between the ages of 20 and 45.

5. Ouch, heartburn - Reaching for an antacid after a rich meal is common, but if you or your husband need them at least once a week, see your doctor. Stomach acids that continually gurgle up can form scar tissue in your esophagus and increase your chances of esophageal cancer, says Susan Blum, M.D., of Rye Brook, NY. A doctor may prescribe a proton-pump inhibitor, such as Nexium or Prilosec, as a temporary fix, but it's key to address any underlying causes like stress, diet, or weight.

6. Real trouble bouncing back form disappointment
- Does a breakup send your teen reeling for months? Does your guy fly off the handle over a Starbucks order snafu? Could a friend's canceling plans leave you distraught for the rest of the day? A lack of resilience or over-reacting are subtle signs of depression that people often write off as stress or typical teenage drama. "A lot of people don't realize they're depressed, especially in the early stages," says New York City psychotherapist Jill Muir-Sukenick, Ph.D. Although teens (and sometimes grown men!) are dramatic by nature, trust your gut if a reaction seems over the top. The longer a depressed person goes without seeing a doctor or therapist, the deeper they can dig themselves into it — and the harder it will be to climb out. In terms of treatment, exercise may help mild depression, but a combo of medication and therapy is best for moderate and severe cases.

7. Bleeding gums - Receding gums and bad breath aren't the only things you need to worry about when you see blood on your toothbrush; several studies link gum problems with heart disease, stroke, and arthritis. "The inflammatory response from gum disease may increase harmful chemicals circulating in your body," notes Donald Clem, D.D.S., of Fullerton, CA, president of the American Academy of Periodontology. Gum disease is more of an issue for adults, but kids with poor diets and brushing habits are at risk too. A good rule for the whole family: If you see red, "stop!" and see your dentist.

8. Blurry vision - Can't quite make out the fine print? Before you give in and buy drugstore specs, have your eyes checked. Though changes in close vision are normal as we age, blurred vision or a sudden change in eyesight can be an early sign of diabetes, high blood pressure, cataracts, or a retinal disorder, says Zac B. Ravage, M.D., assistant professor of ophthalmology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. In addition to blurriness, see your doc if you regularly see flashes and floaters — glints of light out of nowhere or spots that waft past your sight line.

9. An "ugly duckling" mole or spot - You know the Sesame Street song that goes "one of these things is not like the others"? If that applies to a mole or freckle, seeing a dermatologist soon could save your life or your husband's. "If most of your spots are light brown and you see one that's pink or black, or if most are tiny yet one is much bigger, that's the one to worry about," says Steven Q. Wang, M.D., author of Beating Melanoma and a dermatologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. And it's more important than ever to be vigilant: Incidence of potentially deadly melanoma has jumped 30 percent in the last 10 years, with rates in young women growing at an even faster clip. In women, hot spots for this skin cancer tend to be the torso and legs. For guys, keep an eye on the back and chest. And even if you don't have any weird moles, scheduling an annual skin check with your derm is a good idea, Wang says.

10. A pain that goes throb in the night - If your foot is sore and keeps pounding once you get in bed, you could have a stress fracture, a small crack that occurs when bones can't take the force of a repetitive movement. It's most common in feet, and can sometimes be a warning sign of low bone density. "You can get one from wearing unsupportive shoes, or just too much activity," says Lisa Cannada, M.D., an ortho-pedic surgeon in St. Louis. Your weekend-warrior husband and sports-loving kids are at risk too, but women and athletes are most prone because of the amount of stress they put on their bones. "I've seen too many women do a charity walk, and their foot starts hurting, but they wait a month to see the doctor. By then, more damage has been done," Cannada says. The fix is usually just rest, although some more serious stress fractures may need splinting.

11. Too-quick breathing - You're unlikely to ignore a kid who is loudly wheezing, but that's not the only sign of potentially life-threatening respiratory distress. An elevated breathing rate is the first, says pediatrician Jim Sears, M.D. To measure your child's breathing rate, count how many breaths he takes in 60 seconds. If it's over the cutoff for your child's age (60 for babies under 3 months, 50 for babies 3 to 12 months, 40 for kids 1 to 5, 30 for kids 5 to 12, 20 for teens), call the doctor right away and insist on a same-day appointment.

12. Having a pot belly - That little beer gut you kid him about isn't necessarily benign: A waist larger than 40 inches for men, or 35 inches for women, doubles the risk of dying of a heart attack or stroke. "Abdominal fat changes the way our bodies work in profound ways," says Elizabeth Klodas, M.D., a Minneapolis cardiologist. Unlike fat that collects just under the skin, some abdominal fat sits deeper, hugging organs and producing hormones and other substances that increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, and dementia. Scarier still, one European study of more than 300,000 people showed that a tubby tummy nearly doubles the risk of dying, regardless of other factors, like total body weight. "This type of fat accumulation is a health emergency," Klodas says. A good place to start de-jellying a belly: Ditch empty calories from sodas, sports drinks, and beer. Research shows that beer lovers' nightly lagers really do cause a big ol' belly.

13. Erection issues - Talking with your husband about his erections, or lack thereof, can be awkward. Ignoring an issue, though, is worse, because "erectile problems can be the initial symptom of life-threatening diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and even spinal cord problems," says urologist S. Adam Ramin, M.D. Low testosterone, thyroid disorders, and depression can also meddle with his member. An occasional lack of bodily cooperation is normal, but if it happens more than half the time, set up a doctor visit.

14. Loud snoring - An elbow to the ribs might effectively stop your man's incessant gggggghhhh (or yours), but that's no reason to ignore it. Like a foghorn at sea, snoring is a warning call — of a pretty serious condition called sleep apnea, in which the airway becomes temporarily blocked, disrupting deep sleep. "People with apnea have higher blood pressure and an increased risk of heart attack and depression too," says cardiologist Elizabeth Klodas. They're also twice as likely to get into a car crash due to sleepiness. Losing weight can cure it, and treatments like dental retainers and breathing masks can help lessen symptoms. (Sorry, those snore sprays and other "miracle" cures usually don't work, Klodas says.)

15. Constant achiness - A good dose of rest and Advil should relieve pain caused by exercise or sleeping funny. But if multiple joints ache for two weeks without explanation, go to the doctor. "Lyme disease is a common reason women in their 30s and 40s get joint pain," says Susan Blum, M.D., founder and director of the Blum Center for Health in Rye Brook, NY. But everyone in your family is at risk: Cases of the tick-born bacterial disease have jumped almost threefold since 1995. "You might never have seen a tick or the typical bull's-eye rash, but if you have achiness and have been near fields or woods, get checked," she says. Antibiotics can cure Lyme if caught within three months of infection, but if it lingers, it can lead to long-term nervous-system damage and other problems. Even if you're sure you haven't met a tick, you should still see a doc: Joint pain and stiffness can be a sign of the autoimmune disorder lupus, which often strikes women in their 30s and 40s. A doctor can suggest lifestyle changes like getting more rest and exercise, along with medications to help reduce flare-ups.

16. Lack of eye contact from your little one - A child can show signs of autism long before you'd be able to spot well-known symptoms like delayed speech and social skills. One of the first: not holding your gaze. "Typically-developing infants as young as 2 months old will try to engage and connect with you through eye contact, smiling, and cooing," says pediatrician Ari Brown, M.D. "Babies with autism aren't interested in interaction. Parents describe them as 'being in their own world.'" If this sounds familiar, don't wait and worry; call the pediatrician. "Children who are identified as autistic earlier and receive intensive therapy tend to have the best outcomes in the long run," she says.

17. Trouble dropping pounds - Not trouble as in "I couldn't resist that third slice of pizza" — trouble like you've been exercising more and eating less for months but the scale hasn't budged. In that case, your hormones may be working against you, and you need a doc, not more willpower, to fix them. Difficulty losing weight is a common symptom of polycystic ovarian syndrome, a hormonal imbalance that as many as one in 10 women have. It starts at puberty but often goes undiagnosed for years; it can take a decade or more before you notice gradually worsening symptoms like stubborn adult acne, extra facial hair, irregular periods, fertility trouble, or thinning hair on your head. An ob/gyn or endocrinologist can diagnose it with a few tests and sometimes an ultrasound. The right meds, plus a doctor-approved diet and exercise regimen, can often reverse the negative effects, including extra weight.

18. A stiff neck - You might get a crick in your neck from long hours at the office, but if your kid has a sore, stiff neck, plus a high fever and headache, drop everything and go to the ER. Meningitis, an infection that leads to inflammation around the brain and spinal cord, is rare but dangerous. "One minute you think your kid has the flu; the next she's comatose," says Sandra A. Fryhofer, M.D., past president of the American College of Physicians. "But if your child can look up at the ceiling, down at his toes and isn't bothered by light, he probably doesn't have it," adds Ari Brown, M.D., a pediatrician in Austin, TX. Preteens are routinely vaccinated, but protocols have changed. "We used to think the vaccine lasted 10 years; now we know it's only five, so kids need a booster before college," Fryhofer says. Any child can contract the bug, but high school and college students are most prone because they share everything — drinks, kisses, clothes, you name it.

Should you wash your hair every time you sweat?

Okay so I exercise daily and sweat A LOT. A lot of times I just let the sweat dry because I don't feel the need to cowash daily. Recently, I have been experiencing a lot of hair fall and thinning and maybe the sweat is contributing to that? What should I do to stop it?

1 Answer

It's probably not the sweat that's doing that. Do not wash your hair daily! Do you tie your hair up during your workout? Tight buns and ponytails can cause thinning. Also, any changes in your diet? Malnutrition can lead to bad hair, skin and nails. And last but not least, STRESS. Stress causes hair thinning.

Fish oil or krill oil will help. You can get them at walmart or any corner store. No prescription needed. This will make your hair shiny and thick.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

Hugh Jackman May Join The Circus With P.T. Barnum Musical 'Greatest Showman'

View Comments ()

    Getty Images
    Hugh Jackman's Perry Street purchase toppled $30 million.

    Hugh Jackman is turning into one of Hollywood's biggest showmen.

    Jackman may be following his song-and-dance triumph as host of the Academy Awards with a role as legendary showman P.T. Barnum in the musical tale "The Greatest Showman on Earth."

    The film about Barnum and his three-ring circus is in development at 20th Century Fox. It is being produced by Laurence Mark, who produced last February's Oscar ceremony featuring Jackman as host.

    A studio spokesman says the Barnum script is being written with Anne Hathaway in mind to co-star. Hathaway worked with Jackman on one of the Oscar show's musical numbers.

    Jackman is a Tony winner for the Broadway musical "The Boy From Oz."

Bristol Attempted Murder Suspect Found in Florida

    Bristol Police Department
    Bristol police are looking for attempted murder suspect Luis Ramos.

    Bristol police have located an attempted murder suspect in Florida.

    Luis Ramos was taken into custody in Kissimmee, Florida on Thursday, according to police.

    Ramos tried to shoot his girlfriend during a domestic dispute on Shawn Drive on Monday, police said.

    A woman at the home told police that Ramos aimed a revolver at her and pulled the trigger multiple times, but each time it malfunctioned and didn't fire. Ramos discarded two guns and fled the scene by the time police arrived, police said.

    Neither the woman nor the couple's 4-year-old child were injured and police recovered the discarded weapons.

    Police issued a warrant for Ramos' arrest on Tuesday.  The charges against Ramos include attempted murder, threatening, risk of injury to a minor and criminal use of a firearm.

    He will be held in Florida pending extradition back to Connecticut.

Cowboys Lead Redskins 14-6 at Half

Dallas was 0-2 against the Redskins in 2012

    After 30 minutes, the Dallas Cowboys are ahead of the Washington Redskins by a score of 14-6.

    Dallas opened up the scoring on their first drive, with DeMarco Murray’s four-yard touchdown run capping an 80-yard march, to give the Cowboys a 7-0 lead. Murray had 29 yards on seven carries in the first half, but is out with an injured knee, currently.

    Washington answered in short order--kind of. Robert Griffin III took his team down to the Dallas two-yard line but, thanks to an ultra-clutch tackle by Sean Lee, they were limited to a field goal from 20 yards out by former Cowboy Kai Forbath.

    After trading fruitless drives in the second quarter for awhile, Dwayne Harris took a Sav Rocca punt 86 yards for a touchdown to extend the Cowboys lead to 14-3.

    Forbath hit on a 32-yard field goal as time ran out on the first half to close the gap to eight at 14-6, Dallas.

Rhodes Scholar Hails From DeSoto

DeSoto native chosen to be a Rhodes Scholar

View Comments ()

    Harvard University student Nina Yancy of DeSoto will study at Oxford University in the Fall of 2013.

    A DeSoto native is one of 32 students selected for the prestigious Rhodes Scholars program that gives graduates an all-expenses-paid two years at Oxford University.

    Twenty-one-year-old Harvard University student Nina Yancy says Saturday she was intrigued after talking to others who had participated in the program and visiting Oxford while interning at Britain's House of Commons over the summer. But she says she did not think she would be selected and is still "shocked" and grateful.

    Yancy plans to study comparative social policy and global health science when she goes to Oxford in October 2013. Ultimately, she hopes to work in Washington.

    Yancy, who lost her mother at a young age, called her father after getting the news. She says he walked out of a meeting so he could "scream."

White House to delay health insurance penalty deadline

The Obama administration is sliding the deadline for individuals to be required to buy health insurance by as much as six weeks. Former HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt warned about potential Obamacare glitches in July, after having been part of the Bush White House’s technical setbacks during the Medicare Part D roll out in 2006. NBC’s Tom Costello reports.

>>> good evening. we are starting off with breaking news out of washington. details of this are still coming at us and we want to begin with nbc 's tom costello who has been covering all of this since day one. he's in our d.c. newsroom tonight. tom, good evening.

>> reporter: hi, brian . the white house tells nbc news that it plans to move the penalty deadline for individuals to be requireded to buy health insurance by as much as six weeks. as the law stands right now, to avoid a tax penalty the uninsured need to start the process by february 15 . with this change the administration is trying to allow people to buy insurance all the way up to march 31 to avoid that penalty. meanwhile the work to fix the website is a top priority . 23 days into a very rocky rollout for the affordable care act , ceos from the country's top insurance companies were today troubleshooting at the white house as the website problems persist.

>> start filling out the application through paper and pen, if anything.

>> reporter: today we returned to a miami clinic where a thousand people have tried to enroll. so far only five applications have gone through.

>> we are going to try again to get them through the system. if that's not working we'll have them fill out a paper application or apply over the phone.

>> reporter: on cnn last night hhs secretary kathleen sebelius dodged the question about whether she might resign.

>> i think my job is to get this fully implemented and get the website working right and that's really what i'm focused on. in july former hhs secretary mike leavitt met with the administration and wrote an editorial urging the white house to learn from our mistakes. the bush white house also ran into technical glitches when rolling out medicare part d in 2006 , seniors not able to get their prescriptions.

>> we were a bit unprepared for the imperfections.

>> reporter: leavitt says he doesn't like obamacare but now says too many people would be hurt if it doesn't work.

>> i think they have about a month to get it fixed. if they get it fixed people will move on. if they don't it will characterize and brand forever obama care.

>> reporter: meanwhile in some states customers that are getting through are experiencing sticker shock.

>> they thought this was going to be less expensive than what was available today and in michigan, for example, we are about 40% on average higher than the already low cost plans we had in the market already.

>> reporter: tomorrow, congressional hearings into what's gone wrong with the website. nbc news learned the lead federal contractor cgi will testify that the website passed eight technical reviews prior to going live on october 1. but also the that a late government decision to require customers to register their personal information before they could check insurance prices, contributed to the glitches that have the websites tied up. but again brian the white house intends to move the february 15th penalty deadline for individuals to be required to buy health insurance . before if you hadn't signed up by february 15th there would likely be a penalty now they want to make sure that anyone who signs up by the enrollment deadline of march 31st doesn't face a penalty, brian ?

>> tom, thanks

Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood Take A Swipe At Kanye West At 2009 CMAs

"Mamas don't let your babies grow up to Kanye," they sang

View Comments ()

    Access Hollywood
    Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood weighed in on Kanye's outburst.

    Country music took a couple of swipes at Kanye West's infamous September interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs at Wednesday night's CMA Awards in Nashville.

    Following Taylor Swift's opening number – a performance of "Forever and Always," which included a cameo by Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell — CMA co-hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley took the stage and ripped the rapper.

    VIEW THE PHOTOS: 2009 CMA Awards Arrivals

    Singing the country standard "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys," the hosts took a swipe at the rapper, who stormed the VMA stage during Taylor Swift's Best Female Video acceptance speech to champion Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" video.

    "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to Kanye," they sang. "Let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks, 'cause cowboys have manners, they don't interrupt."

    VIEW THE PHOTOS: 2009 CMA Awards: Inside The Show

    As Brad and Carrie's opening monologue continued, Brad noted their show was full of audience members who appreciate and respect each other.

    That's what I love about the CMAs — we get along on this show. We're like one big slightly dysfunctional family. We're like George Straight Plus 8," Brad said.

    And Kanye's stage interruption was referenced again later on in the show.

    An hour and a half into the event, Carrie told Brad that "Welcome To The Future" was "one of my favorite videos of all time."

    As Brad began to thank his video team, 88-year-old country legend Little Jimmy Dickens walked out on stage to stop the speech.

    "Excuse me! Excuse me sir… I'll let you finish later. Now Brad Paisley, I know you had a nice video and all that, but Taylor Swift made the best video of all time," Little Jimmy said as the camera panned to Taylor, cracking up in the audience. "You go girl."

Prop Zero
The Starting Point for Commentary and Coverage of California Politics

Is Charlie Sheen the Political Leader We've Been Waiting For?

    “I have to right this unconscionable wrong. Many people are suffering. And I’m the only guy who can affect the change.” -- Charlie Sheen, on Howard Stern's show.

    Could Charlie Sheen be the political leader that Californians have been waiting for?

    I ask that only because a majority of Californians -- including our political elites and many good government groups -- believe that this state's broken governing system doesn't need big, constitutional, structural reforms. They believe that we simply have weak politicians, unwilling to do what's right and make the change. They believe that there are bigger, stronger personalities that can overcome all the structural impediments and just make things so.

    If you read this blog regularly, you know where I come down: there is no such Superman out there who can fix all our problems.

    But now, after watching Charlie Sheen's recent rants, I doubt myself a little bit. Maybe Californians and their leaders are right. Superman has announced himself.

    Consider some of Charlie Sheen's recent statements, and put them in the California budget and governing context:

    “The last time I took drugs I probably took more that anyone could survive. I was banging seven gram rocks because that’s how I roll, I have one speed, go. I have a different constitution, a different brain, a different heart. I got tiger blood man.”

    When you have a leader with tiger blood, why bother with constitutional reform? As Sheen notes, he has a whole different constitution right within him. Plus, a guy with tiger blood can probably just suspend all the spending mandates and super-majorities that make it impossible to balance the state budget. Or at least he can do this in his mind.

    “It’s a metaphor for having absolute rocket fuel in my veins. When it comes to getting focused and delivering things in a  way…”

    One problem with our governing system is that we're stuck, with interest groups and partisans able to tie our governing system in knots and delay action in all kinds of policy areas where California needs to take decisive steps. Pointy-headed journalists like me might argue that you need to change how the state is governed, but perhaps it's possible to just elect a Charlie Sheen with "absolute rocket fuel in my veins." Don't stand too close to him so you don't catch fire.

    "I closed my eyes and made it so with the power of my mind, and unlearned 22 years of fiction."

    It wasn't clear to me what Sheen was talking about here, but it's probably a reference to Prop 98, the state's education funding guarantee approved by voters a little more than 22 years ago. Prop 98 has been terrible for education because it sets a ceiling for school funding and is so incomprehensible that political leaders don't know how to manage it. But Sheen closed his eyes and clearly understands it.

    So when voters and leaders and good government types claim there are people out there who really know better and think more clearly than the politicians we've got, please don't be cynical like I've been. Let's remind ourselves that there are people who know they are smarter than the rest of us, people like Charlie Sheen.

    Of course, there may be a few remaining skeptics out there. People who will say things like:  to believe that a superman can govern us in this system, you would have to be on as many drugs as Charlie Sheen is.

    But it's better just to ignore those skeptics and believe in Sheen.

 New Zealand stocks rose, paced by Fletcher Building whose first-half result yesterday showed potential for growth in Australia. The market responded positively to Vector's earnings which showed growth in its technology sector.

The NZX 50 Index rose 17.813 points, or about 0.4 percent, to 4927.640. Within the index 31 stocks rose, 12 fell and seven were unchanged. Turnover was $151.4 million.

Fletcher's shares rose 2.2 percent to $9.75. New Zealand's biggest listed company reported half-year earnings yesterday which showed signs of growth in its Australian market, which makes up approximately half its business.

"For the overall movement of the index, the big mover today has been Fletcher Building," said James Smalley a director at Hamilton Hindin Greene. "Investors are looking past current earnings, which might make the stock look a little bit on the expensive side, and are buying in anticipation of growth in their Australian business.

Vector gained 1.7 percent to $2.37. The Auckland electricity, gas and telecommunications network said net profit fell 11 percent in the six months ended Dec. 31. The lines provider has been through a number of regulated price adjustments affirmed its full-year guidance.

"The result wasn't as bad as investors were fearing, given they had a number of regulated price cuts that were going to flow through to their earnings," Smalley said. "Its technology unit which put in the smart meters and the like had a pretty good result."

Telecom fell 1.7 percent to $2.375. The country's biggest telecommunication provider today announced it will rebrand itself as Spark, and launch an internet television service to rival Sky Network Television. Its first-half earnings were flat. Sky TV slipped 2.4 percent to $5.75, and was the day's worst performer.

"Telecom is the one weighing on the market today," Smalley said. "There's a little bit of disappointment with the bottom line and a little bit of uncertainty to do with this major rebrand they're going to go through."

OceanaGold rose 3.3 percent to $2.84. The Melbourne-based mining company reported a boost in gold production, but flat earnings as it wrote down its New Zealand mines.

NZX was unchanged at $1.27. The New Zealand's stock operator reported a 22 percent lift in first-half earnings.

Nuplex Industries fell 1.5 percent to $3.3, extending yesterday's decline after the speciality chemical makers earnings disappointed investors.

Auckland International Airport rose 0.3 percent to $3.70. Port of Tauranga lifted 1.5 percent to $14. Both companies reported growth in first-half earnings yesterday.

"It's a reporting season where investors had quite low expectations, and although a number of companies haven't exactly knocked the lights out, they've come out with ok results, and due to investors low expectations that's why we've seen these stocks move up post their results," Smalley said.

Michael Hill International climbed 7 percent to $1.38, leading gainers. Online auction site Trade Me Group rose 0.8 percent to $4.05. Outdoor clothing retailer Kathmandu rose 2.5 percent to $3.25. New Zealand's biggest listed retailer Warehouse Group rose 0.3 percent to $3.39, and clothing chain Hallenstein Glasson Holdings fell 0.6 percent to $3.09.

Sepsis syndrome: a valid clinical entity. Methylprednisolone Severe Sepsis Study Group.

Author information

  • 1Department of Medicine, Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, IL 60612.

The sepsis syndrome represents a systemic response to infection and is defined as hypothermia (temperature less than 96 degrees F) or hyperthermia (greater than 101 degrees F), tachycardia (greater than 90 beat/min), tachypnea (greater than 20 breath/min), clinical evidence of an infection site and with at least one end-organ demonstrating inadequate perfusion or dysfunction expressed as poor or altered cerebral function, hypoxemia (PaO2 less than 75 torr), elevated plasma lactate, or oliguria (urine output less than 30 ml/h or 0.5 ml/kg body weight.h without corrective therapy). One hundred ninety-one patients with the sepsis syndrome were evaluated prospectively and comprised the placebo group of a multicenter trial of methylprednisolone in sepsis syndrome and septic shock. Forty-five percent of the patients were found to be bacteremic. Thirty-six percent of the patients were in septic shock (sepsis syndrome plus a systolic BP less than 90 mm Hg or a decrease from baseline in systolic BP greater than 40 mm Hg) on study entry. An additional 23% of the patients developed shock after admission with 70% doing so within 24 h of study entry. Shock reversal occurred with a 73% frequency. Twenty-five percent of the patients developed the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Mortality for the patients with sepsis syndrome who did not develop shock was 13%. Mortality for the groups of patients with shock on admission and shock postadmission was 27.5% and 43.2%, respectively. Forty-seven percent of the bacteremic patients developed shock after study admission compared to 29.6% of the nonbacteremic patients (p less than .05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Winners of the NCEM 2012 Composers Award

The NCEM  Composers Award 2012, presented in partnership with BBC Radio 3 and The Tallis Scholars, has been won by Alex Woolf (16) in the under 18 years category and by Benjamin Rowarth (20) in the 19 to 25 years category.

Lux Aeterna by Alex Woolf and Where is Thy God? by Benjamin Rowarth will be premièred by The Tallis Scholars in Durham Cathedral as part of its Diamond Jubilee Celebrations on Saturday 2 June 2012. This concert will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3's Early Music Show on Sunday 1 July 2012.

Young composers, resident in the UK, were invited to write a new piece of between three to four minutes' duration specifically with The Tallis Scholars in mind, taking as their starting point the In Nomine theme from John Taverner's Missa Gloria Tibi Trinitas. Seven finalists were selected and invited to the National Centre for Early Music in York on Thursday 17 May, when their entries were work-shopped by The Ebor Singers and Christopher Fox, Composer and Professor in Music, Brunel University, London.

At 7.30pm on the same day, The Ebor Singers, directed by Paul Gameson, performed each of the pieces at a public concert. The concert was given in front of a panel of judges comprising Chris Wines, Senior Music Producer, BBC Radio 3; Peter Phillips, Director of The Tallis Scholars and Delma Tomlin, Director of the National Centre for Early Music.

Delma Tomlin said: "We have been absolutely thrilled, with not only the standard of entries, but the range and diversity of ideas around the given theme. It has been truly inspiring to see our youngest entrant so far, 12 year old Aidan Tulloch, compete on the same platform as composers twice his age and to witness the obvious enthusiasm amongst all finalists to work together to learn and enjoy their time at the NCEM. The winners' pieces will sound spectacular in Durham Cathedral and have very obviously been written for The Tallis Scholars' unique sound."

Peter Phillips Director of The Tallis Scholars added: "With The Tallis Scholars I have created an instrument which has a very distinctive sound. I can't think of anything more useful than to put this highly trained instrument at the disposal of these inspiring young composers and am hugely appreciative that they have written so well for us. I find it thrilling to perform works by a 16 year old and a 20 year old and really hope this Award will encourage them to develop their styles and write for many different kinds of ensembles."

Chris Wines, Senior Music Producer, BBC Radio 3 commented: "As the home of classical music, BBC Radio 3 is proud to partner again with such an inventive Award. The NCEM Composers Award and Radio 3 share the genuine desire to bring together classical music, talent and youth, with the award offering a crucial platform for young composers to create and express themselves through early music. This year's entries attracted a fantastically rich and broad range of imaginative entries and two very deserving winners. We look forward to sharing their music with our many listeners."

All compositions from the seven finalists were recorded by music technology students from the Department of Electronics at the University of York and will be available to hear on the NCEM website shortly at:

Tickets for the concert in Durham Cathedral on Saturday 2 June 2012 are available from the Gala Theatre Box Office, Durham.  T: 0191 332 4041 and priced £30, £20, £10 (£25, £17, £7 concessions).

Cameo by Hocking Glass

by Rosemary Trietsch

A woman came into my booth at a recent show and seemed to be deep in thought as she looked everything over. When I asked if I could be of any help, she said she was looking for a small piece of Depression glass to send to her friend in Australia. It seems that, though she tried to explain what it is she's collecting, her friend couldn't picture it, so she figured an example would say it all. Then she asked me, "Can you pick out a typical, representative piece of Depression glass for me?" That is perhaps the hardest glass question I've ever been asked. I mean, with so much variety, IS there such a thing as 'typical Depression glass'? I think the answer is really a matter of personal taste and experience, but the first thing that popped into my head at the time was not a single piece of glass, but a pattern: Cameo. With all the myriad of pieces available -- from the every day to the elegant - Cameo encompasses the entire Depression glass spectrum.

Produced by Hocking from 1930 to 1934, Cameo really had its beginnings under a different name with another glass company. In the late 1920's, Hocking acquired the Monongah Glass Company of Fairmont, West Virginia. The majority of Monongah's molds were sent to Lancaster Glass, which had become a part of Hocking Glass in 1924. But Monongah's 'Springtime' pattern seemed to be just what Hocking was looking for. They copied the pattern almost exactly and made new molds so that it could be machine pressed. (Springtime, as originated by Monongah, was pressed, etched, and gold trimmed all by hand.) In 1930, Cameo -- a.k.a. 'Ballerina' for the figure in the cameo - became Hocking's first mold etched dinnerware line and it remains one of the most popular Depression glass patterns ever made.

Cameo Cameo Most of the Cameo you find will be green, though the pattern was made in yellow, pink and crystal with platinum trim. Production of these last three colors was limited, with pink being the most expensive and hardest to find. If you come across any pink Cameo other than the 3-legged console bowl, consider yourself lucky. (If it's priced less than $100, play the lottery immediately as you're on a roll.) Crystal production was limited to a luncheon set and a cocktail set that includes the ice bowl, decanter, and a very rare cocktail shaker with a metal top. With its platinum trim, crystal Cameo looks very similar to Springtime, though Monongah's glass quality is far superior. (Remember, you're comparing machine pressed to hand finished glass.) Yellow was only made from 1932 to 1934. But it was sold in boxed sets that included the cup, saucer/sherbet plate, dinner plate, grill plate, and footed tumbler, making these pieces relatively common and inexpensive today. Unfortunately, Hocking didn't include 'Hostess sets' with the place settings: the basic service may be cheap, but yellow serving pieces will require a home equity loan. (If you've ever seen a bunch of yellow Cameo together, you'll agree that it's well worth the interest rates. Hocking managed to capture pure sunshine in Cameo yellow -- it's a vibrant, wonderful color that glows on the table.)

CameoCameo To summarize: pink pieces are very scarce, yellow production was limited to a few shapes, and crystal, though uncommon, really doesn't attract much interest by collectors. It's green Cameo that commands attention from today's collectors -- probably in the same way that it captured Hocking's creative energy back in 1930. In the four years that it was produced, Hocking redesigned existing pieces and added entirely new items to the Cameo line that they had not made before. Though many Cameo pieces are the same shape as Block Optic - even having Block's vertical panels along with the ballerina design - the 3-part relish, cookie jar & lid, footed console bowl and tall candlesticks, patterned decanter, and 8-inch vase were designed specifically with the Cameo pattern in mind. In fact, if you assembled one green piece in each of the shapes and sizes made, you'd have over 70 different items.

With 10 different plates, 8 sizes of bowls, and 12 tumblers -- footed, flat and stemmed -- Cameo collections vary according to taste and wallet. Most common among the plates are the 6-inch sherbet, 8-inch luncheon, 9½ inch dinner, and 10½ inch grill. Of course, if money is no object and you enjoy the hunt, you might choose the grill plate with closed handles, the 8½ inch square luncheon and the 10½ inch rimmed dinner plate (which looks like the handless grill plate without divisions. It also doubles as the flat cake plate.) This second place setting costs about $200 while the first runs around $40. The biggest choice you have in bowls will be to decide if you want flat soups at $65 each, cream soups at $150 each, or to skip soup in favor of an antipasto course. Tumblers pose the biggest problem for me personally, as the glass is wonderfully thin and delicate and I'd love to have full service in all 12 sizes. (Did you already figure out that I collect this pattern too?) Unless I'm very lucky hunting, the 3½ oz wine goblet ($850 each) and 15 oz footed tumbler ($495 each) will not be coming to my house too soon.

CameoCameo Once you've got your basic setting, it's time to fill in the details. Sherbets come in 2 sizes: 3 1/8 inch or 4 7/8 inch. Cups can be had with a plain handle or a fancy handle -- the fancy handle is the same scroll design that's found on Block Optic cups. Whichever handle you choose, the sherbet plate doubles as the saucer. Hocking did make a very few saucers with an indented cup ring, but the odds are against finding even one -- let alone enough for a set. Creamers and sugars also come in 2 sizes, with the 3¼ inch size having the fancy handle and the 4¼ inch having the plain handle. (Something I have noticed is that the pattern on the scroll handle cup is more distinct than that on the plain handle variety, and so I collect scroll cups. It also figures that I prefer the shape of the tall creamer and sugar that have the plain handles.) Of course, you can forgo the sugar bowl altogether and use the Domino tray instead. This is a 7 inch round tray with an indentation in the center to hold the creamer of your choice, while Domino sugar cubes go around the outside edge.

CameoCameoWell, you've got the table set: now choose your serving pieces. Do you like round or oval serving bowls and plates? Cameo has both. Next, you must decide if you prefer the covered butter dish or an open butter tub. Either will cost over $200, but the butter tub doubles as an ice bowl if you're serving cocktails. Do you need a 36 oz or 56 oz pitcher -- with or without a roping design around the upper edge? Perhaps the 20 oz milk pitcher or the 10-inch decanter and stopper fit your needs better. The stopper confuses lots of folks because it does not have the Cameo pattern on it: it's the same geometric stopper that's found on another Hocking water bottle. Incidentally, Owens Illinois Company probably 'borrowed' the decanter mold and used it to make vinegar bottles in dark green as they're found with the Owens mark. A cork, not a glass stopper, was used in these vinegar bottles.

To round out your collection, Hocking provided many Cameo occasional pieces.There are 2 candy jars: a low one styled like the Block Optic candy jar, and a 6½ inch tall covered jar that was especially designed for the Cameo line. The base for the tall candy was modified to become the 5¾ inch vase, so make note of the differences between the two: the candy jar bottom has roping around the edge, while the vase has a thinner lip that is flared. The covered jam jar is another addition Hocking made to the Cameo line. The bottom is sometimes confused with the ice bowl, which is 3 inches high and has handles that stick out from the side. (The jam jar bottom is 2 inches high and the handles stick up.) The console bowl and candlesticks are a set to rival any elegant pattern ever made. If Hocking was attempting to elevate its 'every day glassware' to 'special occasion' status, the console set does it. Add the 8-inch vase filled with lilacs, and you can't ask for a more beautiful table. Finally, in the "Rarest of the Rare" category of Depression glass, you'll find the Cameo center handled sandwich server. The last one I heard of for sale was snatched up for the meager price of $7700.

CameoCameoRemarkably, Cameo collectors only have to watch out for one piece that's been reproduced: the salt/pepper shaker. New shakers are easy to recognize as they have a very faint pattern and too much glass in the bottom. If you filled a repro shaker, the salt would barely go halfway down. As you can see in the picture of my old shaker, it's filled to the base. In the 1980's, Mosser glass made miniatures of the Cameo line that some people confuse with older children's sets, but as Hocking never made Cameo children's dishes, they're not a problem for collectors. The Mosser pieces are scale miniatures of actual Cameo pieces - more like miniature doll furniture than reproductions meant to fool unsuspecting collectors. Many folks (including yours truly) enjoy displaying the little sets along with the real thing. It sort of adds another dimension to my glass collection….

I do have a collecting tip for folks starting a new pattern: buy the hard to find pieces as soon as you see them as prices on rare things go up very quickly. In the 8 years I've been collecting Cameo, I've been lucky to find the domino tray, covered butter, tall sherbets, cream soup bowls, and all the covered pieces. The prices I paid were what I considered reasonable at the time and much less than they would sell for now. Of course my problem is that I have lovely serving pieces but not enough plates to use them with. Ah, the trials and tribulations of collecting Depression glass ...

6. Markets in Osaka

The Rice Market in Dojima, the Vegetable Market in Tenma, and the Fish Market in Zakoba were three once-bustling big markets of modern Osaka.

The reasons for the development of Osaka's economy are that Osaka was a castle town under the direct supervision of the shogunate, and that its good location for waterway traffic such that it was called the "city of water," with the Seto Inland Sea in front as well as the Yodo River that connects with Kyoto and the Yamato River that connects with Yamato inland. In addition to these, around the Kanbun era (1661-1673), they opened a westward shipping passage that passes into the Sea of Japan, through the Shimonoseki strait, and then goes through the Seto Inland Sea toward Osaka. The development of marine transport between Osaka and Edo also contributed to the development of Osaka, giving Osaka the pivotal position of the national markets. The center of commodity distribution in Osaka had been the Dojima Rice Market, the Tenma Vegetable Market, and the Zakoba Fish Market.

Dojima Rice Market

In the Edo period, Samurai had been collecting the compulsory annual rice tribute from farmers. The lord of each clan secured the rice for their own consumption and sold the extra rice to buy commodities. This contributed to the development of the market and the advancement of a currency economy. The markets at which the lords sold rice gathered in Osaka, and rice markets in Osaka became prosperous enough to establish standard nationwide market prices in Japan. Saikaku's "Nippon Eitaigura" describes Yodoya, who founded a rice market in Osaka during the Kanbun era.

Due to Zuiken Kawamura's Dojima River improvement program, the Dojima Shinchi area underwent a land rearrangement. In 1697, Yodoya's rice market moved to Dojima Hamadori 1-chome, and the Dojima Rice Market began. The shogunate had been prohibiting the trade of Kome Kitte (rice certificate, a ticket with which one can obtain rice at warehousing offices, Kurayashiki); however, due to the devaluation of rice in 1716, the trade of Kome Kitte was permitted as a measure to increase the price of rice. At first, this Kome Kitte was aimed at Shomai trade (spot trade of the annual rice tribute), but later in 1730, Choaimai trade (futures trade on paper) was also permitted, so the Dojima Rice Exchange Market (Dojima Kome Soba Kaisho) was established to deal in two types of trade. The market had been active until the end of Edo Period, but the destabilization of the shogun's government contributed to the decline of its rice distribution control policy. Thus, the Dojima Rice Market declined and the market was closed in 1869.

In April 1871, Koemon Isono and others started a reconstruction movement, and Dojima Komekaisho (rice market) was opened. In August 1876, Tomoatsu Godai founded a certified limited company Dojima Kome Shokaijo. As they had been using the street in front of their office since the Edo period, they built a new office, opened a market on the side of the shore side and established an account office there. Thus they contributed making the market more suitable to a modern capitalistic system. Soon thereafter, exchange laws were established in October 1893, Dojima Komekaisho changed name to the Osaka Dojima Beikoku Torihikijo. Although the building burnt down in 1909, the association continued to be prosperous. However, due to regulations on the delivery of rice, which came into operation in October 1939, the rice market in Dojima ended up and was absorbed by Nihon Beikoku Kabushikigaisha (tr. Japan Rice Co., Ltd.).

With regard to the origin of place name "Dojima," there are two theories. One is that it means an island (Shima) of temple (Do) because there was a Yakushido established in the 6th century (Source: Kita-ku Shi). And the other is that this place is between two rivers, the Sonezaki River and the Dojima River. In theory, Kawa (river) was made analogy to Kawa "leather" of the same pronunciation in Japanese, so people compared the location to Do, a barrel of Japanese hand drum, and made an analogy to Do of the same pronunciation in Japanese (Source: Settsu Meisho Zue Taisei).

Tenma Vegetable Market

Vegetable market of Osaka has a long history, and its origin is said to be in 1496, when Ishiyama Hongan-ji was established. It is said that people gathered to form a vegetable market in front of the temple gate, and the market became larger and larger, along with the development of the temple.

Although the market changed the place several times, the city commissioners' office (Machi Bugyo Sho) gave them permission to move to Tenma (now Tenma 3-chome, an area on the shore side along Okawa River, between the Tenjin Bridge and Tenma Tatsuta-machi) on the last day of July 1653, and the market developed due to the good waterway transport provided by the Yodo River. The market was developed by vegetable growing farm villages in the surrounding area and expanding demand due to the increase in population of Osaka Sango (North Group, South Group, Tenma Group), and exclusively supplied vegetables consumed by Osaka residents. It is said that various vegetables such as komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach), Japanese honeywort, Japanese parsley, araliaceae, Tennoji turnip, Mibu pot herb mustard, Fushimi-Moso bamboo shoot, Kawachi lotus root, and Citrus Kinokuni were gathered from the ancient capital provinces including Kii, Omi, and Yamashiro, and were offered for sale.

With the increase of the market popularity, there were several movements to build other markets in addition to Tenma, in places such as Dotonbori, Dojima, Horie, and Sonezaki. The Tenma Vegetable Market disrupted these movements by bringing opposition suits, and in 1772, the market paid a Myogagin (contribution) and obtained licenses for 40 wholesale stocks and 150 brokerage stocks. Not only they did not allow making new markets, but also authorized the prohibitions of street sales and the direct sale by local farmers to create a monopoly on vegetables, as a result, kabunakama, the association of merchants, succeeded in completely dominating wholesalers. However, their privileged position did not last long, and in 1798, farmers from local 26 villages established a selling space in the market.

In the Meiji era, vegetable market was freed from regulations, and started to develop rapidly. However, in November 1931, the Tenma Vegetable Market was incorporated into the Osaka Municipal Central Wholesale Market and became one of its supply stations. Like these, the Tenma Vegetable Market had assumed a major role as a center for fresh food distribution, for 290 years until it was damaged by war and finally abolished in May 1945.

Zakoba Fish Market

After the Osaka Summer Campaign Siege of May 1615, Osaka became a center for the shogunate to establish a control system for the old capital provinces. Furthermore, a population increase in Osaka due to the move of workers for war reconstruction had changed the area to a big food consuming market.

With the urbanization of Osaka, the community of fish wholesalers changed between places several times, from Tenma Naruo Cho, Motoutsubo-cho, Mototenma-cho (Fushimi-machi), Kamiuoya-machi (Azuchi-machi), and in the period from the Keian era through to the Joo era (1648-1655), the colony was formed in the Sagishima region, close to the harbor filled with crisp air (Source: Zakoba Uoichiba Enkakushi). The region came to be called the "Zakoba" -cho, which means various marine products in Japanese, and it was the Japan's first wholesale market to deal in fresh fish. In the Genroku era (1688-1704), all fresh fish wholesalers moved in this region, and in 1720, it is said to have numbered over 50 wholesalers.

With regard to the kabunakama system (an association of merchants) for fresh fish, 84 certificates for fresh fish were permitted in 1772, and in April 1798, the Ton'yakaisho (chamber of wholesalers) was first established. The Ton'yakaisho had continued until it was incorporated into the Osaka Municipal Central Wholesale Markets on November 11, 1931.

In the Meiji era, the Ton'yakaisho changed its name to "Seigyo Shosha (fresh fish trading company)" and then later to "Uoichiba (fish market)" at the government's instruction, and in 1871, the rules of the market were established and the kabunakama system came to an end. From 1897, they started operations under the name of the 'fresh fish wholesale business company". At the 5th Domestic Industrial Exhibition held in and around the Tennoji Park in 1903, fresh fish wholesalers and shopkeepers exhibited such things as 'artificially refrigerated fish', 'two-story chilled warehouse' and 'conception of fresh fish carrying vessel with an oil engine', all of which is said to have had a great impact on the fresh fish industry, contributing the development of Japan's modern fishery industry. The Zakoba Fish Market was also closed in November, 1931 to be incorporated into the Osaka Municipal Central Wholesale Markets together with the vegetable market.

The place name 'Zakoba' means a place where various marine products gather. 'Ko' of 'Zakoba' is an ancient suffix to count fish that originated in the fact they carried fish with vine or straw, by sticking it through the fish's gill.

Best Practices: Assumptions We Can Make About One Another

In workshops I had often shared my syllabus “Assumptions” page—that is, until Amir Hussain improved upon mine so dramatically that now I share only his. An edited excerpt follows:

Assumptions I Make About You

  1. You have made an informed choice to be a member of this class. You have read the syllabus and know the workload required. On average, you should spend three hours on your own (reading, studying, making notes, working on assignments, etc.) for every hour that you are in class.
  2. You will do the required reading. This means that you will often have to read something more than once in order to fully understand it (remember the 3:1 ratio in the first assumption).
  3. You will share your personality, knowledge, skills, and special expertise with the rest of us throughout this semester.

Assumptions You Can Make About Me

  1. I will give you the respect that I ask you to give me and the other members of this class.
  2. I will do my best to help you, but I cannot learn the material for you.
  3. I will encourage and be receptive to constructive comments about my teaching (as an example, “You’re ugly and your mother dresses you funny” is NOT a constructive comment).

The Elephant Shrew Is Always On The Go

What looks like a mouse with a twitchy nose of an elephant and the speed of a race car? Meet the Sengis:

This is the Sengis - otherwise known as the Elephant Shrew - for obvious reasons once you see its startling and always twictching proboscis.

This animal has such a high metabloic rate that it is always hungry. So it creates for itself an amazing serious of paths networked to give it full access to its terrritory. It also gives it some natural escape routes from the lizards that prey upon it.

Give Your Living Room a Stormy Forecast

Vimeo Link

Designer Richard Clarkson, in time split between his New York and New Zealand studios, has produced Cloud, a light fixture in the form of a cumulus cloud. But Clarkson's Cloud doesn't just look pretty; it also does an excellent thunderstorm imitation. The simulation can be controlled either by remote control or motion sensors. Information from Clarkson’s website reads in part:

"The system features a powerful speaker system from which the user can stream music via any Bluetooth compatible device. Using color-changing lights the cloud is able to adapt to the desired lighting color and brightness. The cloud also has alternative modes such as a nightlight and music reactive mode."

Benefits of Corporate Training Programs

Corporate training has long been debated for it’s necessity. Of course, every employee needs an initial training and on-boarding session to become familiar with their new role and the policies of their new employer, but what about continuing education and training once they’ve been hired?

  • Addressing Employee Weaknesses
  • Improving Performance
  • Keeping Your Employees

DMCA takes another blow

Critics of a controversial U.S. copyright law applauded a jury's decision Tuesday to acquit a Russian software firm charged with creating an illegal encryption-disabling program. The verdict, they say, will make prosecutors more reluctant to pursue similar cases.

The acquittal, announced in federal district court in San Jose, California, brought to a close the first federal criminal trial of a company accused of violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The defendant, Moscow company ElcomSoft, was accused of violating provisions of the 1998 statute that prohibits companies from creating and selling technologies that circumvent protections placed on copyrighted works

By exonerating ElcomSoft DMCA critics say the jury showed an unwillingness to convict a company merely for creating a program that others might use to commit acts of copyright infringement.

"The chief problem with the government's case was that these guys weren't pirates," said Fred von Lohmann, an attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation which provided legal assistance to ElcomSoft.

"I think it was hard for the jury to believe that these people should be treated as criminals simply for creating a tool," von Lohmann said.

Response to Re: Gregg

What I thought were the facts about Kathy Garver were not. So she thinks I made them up, when actually I was going on what others had said and became what we thought was gospel here. I wanted to ask her about Gregg and Fred Henry who was the glue that held Fedderson together as well as some of the other crew members, but we only shared two emails and then I was on ignore. I am assuming she did not remember my father at all, because she made no mention of him.

So I learned my lesson and now I don't rely on anyone elses information, with the exception of Larochelle's. (And even then we have to sit down and put our heads together on things.) I would be REALLY skeptical of information posted here, about 10 percent of it is great, but the rest won't even qualify as material that might exit the south end of the livestock. Like Larochelle says we have to respect your judgment to makes sense of things, because there is so much disinformation!

And heaven help you if you have one little factoid ever so slightly askew when it comes to Anissa, you are immediately ridiculed, assaulted and in most cases treated as if you have no importance on this earth and that you have no value as a human being and all of your life's accomplishments are worth nothing! (Where did all of that come from?)

Larochelle was told that Suzie and Monique Watkins were twins, dead from drug overdoses, and that a neighbor that had the same last name, was Elaine's son. All apparent bunk, but the purveyors of that info are still trying to get him to believe it.

But the largest cardinal sin is those that CALLED Elaine to talk about it! Shades of throwing Mrs. Beasley dolls from car windows at the Littler Lane address!

I am totally aware that there is a foul element out there mixed in with the good! I used to be on Flipper with Luke Halpin and on the rare occasion that we'd risk venturing out for burgers people wouldn't let us eat, they'd interrupt in the middle of a bite, ask for autographs and even take our things as souvenirs right in front of us. Public restrooms were sources for even worse harassment as well! While in Miami we found we HAD to get out of the hotel because we'd get calls at 1 o'clock in the morning. So we'd end up at the producers house.

Don't call people on here! Don't visit or hang out at the addresses! If you need a place to go, there's always Disneyland! If your parent's didn't instill in you the decency and courtesy to treat people and their privacy with respect, try growing it on your own!

(Along that line, I have a great story about when I was in Las Vegas as a guest for the distributors of the Blake Edwards video release and met Annie Sprinkles, but if you'd like to hear it, it would probably be best shared via email, you can request mine through Larochelle at: moderntechnician@yahoo.com).

This board is a good place to discuss Anissa Jones, (I don't think it should be wielded as a knife!) but it's appropriate and I appreciate finding others that I had worked with and sharing our past with fans. It's like therapy and for that I am very grateful, but that should be where it ends!

Well thank you for letting me ramble and jump up on the soapbox!!!!!!!! I am not used to being listened to (father of 3.)
