There has never been a team that has had to deal with as much scrutiny as the Buffalo Bills have, solely based on the fact that they made it to four consecutive Super Bowls and came up empty every time. The only thing worse than being a player on the team during this time was being a fan. Other fans were unrelenting in their mockery of one of the best teams to never win the biggest game in all of sports, and it still makes for a miserable topic for Bills' fans. But, what if the Bills had won at least one Super Bowl during their four-year run?
This was by far the most winnable of the four Super Bowls for the Bills, yet a Scott Norwood 47-yard field goal went wide right to seal the 20-19 victory for the New York Giants. Quarterback Jim Kelly had a solid day for the Bills, going 18 of 30 for 212 yards and zero touchdowns and no interceptions. But the player that really led the Bills' offense that day was running back Thurman Thomas, who had 15 carries for 135 yards and one touchdown. The play that cost the Bills the game wasn't necessarily the missed field goal, but rather the draw play that came before that.
Former Bills general manager Bill Polian spoke about the draw play prior to the missed kick.
"We looked at the tape the next day with Marv and we both stopped and took a deep breath. He could have run 15 more yards," via USA TODAY.
The reason Thomas didn't run further is because of the Bills' timeout situation, but the extra yardage would have made the field goal a chip shot for Norwood.
After giving the Washington Redskins and quarterback Mark Rypien a 17-0 lead at halftime, the Bills were finished before they even got started. Two things that cost Buffalo the chance of keeping up with the Redskins: Jim Kelly's four interceptions and the lack of a rushing attack from the Bills. Those two scenarios were something that the Bills relied heavily on in Super Bowl XXV, but it cost them dearly this time.
The Dallas Cowboys proved to be too much for the Bills in their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance, and Buffalo found themselves down 28-10 at halftime after taking an early 7-0 lead over the Cowboys. Again, turnovers proved to be the biggest downfall for the Bills, as backup quarterback Frank Reich and Kelly both threw two interceptions each. The Cowboys also scored two touchdowns off of fumble recoveries by Buffalo. The Cowboys then scored 21 points in the fourth quarter for a blowout 52-17 victory.
The biggest storyline for the Bills wasn't their third consecutive Super Bowl berth, rather how they were able to get there. After losing their last regular season game to the Houston Oilers, the Bills were set to host the Oilers in the AFC Wild Card game. Houston jumped out to an astonishing 35-3 lead with a little over 13 minutes left to play in the third quarter. But what happened next goes down as the greatest comeback in NFL history, and it was manufactured by the Bills backup quarterback.
Reich was able to lead the Bills back to a masterful 41-38 victory over the Oilers and propel them into another Super Bowl appearance after Buffalo lost Kelly in the regular season finale.
The fourth Super Bowl appearance for the Bills was off to a much better start than the previous three. The Bills took a 13-6 halftime lead, but the Cowboys scored 24 second half points to win their second consecutive Super Bowl over Buffalo. Emmitt Smith was a major factor for Dallas and he rushed for 132 yards on 30 carries while scoring two touchdowns. The Bills suffered from multiple turnovers — which became the story of their four SB appearances — and it led to a fourth straight loss.
What if the Bills had won at least one Super Bowl?
Now comes the fun part, or maybe just a somber reminder of how close a title was for the Bills. If the Bills had won the first Super Bowl that they appeared in, it would have led to the team having one championship and not much more. The fact is that a win probably would have affected the Bills due to the taste of victory. The four straight appearances may have still happened but it is highly unlikely that that would have been the case for Buffalo.
The comeback against the Oilers probably wouldn't have happened for Buffalo either. Kelly probably sums it up best for one of the greatest franchise reigns that didn't end up in a dynasty of winning Super Bowls.
"People always ask, would you rather win one time or go four times and lose. It's a hard question. But to be honest with you, I would rather go four times and lose," via USA TODAY.
In a strange and eery way, the Bills were destined to never win a Super Bowl during those four years, but it is something that will never happen again. We will never witness another run like the one that Buffalo put together and it has become a part of their story and their team history. ESPN had one of their 30 for 30 films recently air about Buffalo's run at four straight Super Bowls titled "Four Falls of Buffalo." Click here for program details about the documentary.
USA TODAY provides a couple of quotes from former Bills head coach Marv Levy that describe the importance of the team's four-year run at a title and how special that Bills' team was. He also says what the best way to not lose a Super Bowl is.
"They'll always hurt a little but. But we'll remember the good times more. That team has stayed very close personally through the years. Those guys I directed, they're my friends.

The composite Higgs models provide a natural solution to the Standard Model gauge hierarchy problem. In such models, the Higgs boson is a composite particle instead of an elementary one; it is identified as the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of some strong dynamical new physics at scale O(TeV). In this talk, I will first review the motivations of the composite Higgs models, and then discuss their main phenomenological features, i.e. the existence of new vector and fermion resonances. I will take the Minimal Composite Higgs model as an example, to describe the strategies we use to search for the resonances at the LHC. Both current (Run II) and future (3000/fb) experimental reaches will be shown.


Trying to find out why my 2000 7.3 excursion dies. It just drops off from idle and dies. No miss. Tack follows the rpms down to 0 after it dies. Slight romp at idle. Icp running from 560/620 psi at 9- 14%. Fuel pressure is steady at 65 psi. If you are coming from any rpm higher than 1500 or so and just let off the throttle, it will idle down and die.
The injectors are rosewood 238/100 that are less than 2k miles. New undercover harnesses.
Anyone have an issue like this?
2000 Ford 7.3 4x4 Diesel Excursion. ******** tooning, TRI turbo, Jon Wood stage 2 trans, Custom PPG Waterborn Paint, Nitto 33" Trail Grapplers, Autometer gauges, 4"downpipe, 05 Harly Davidson lights, Custom billet grille, Sony DVD, Alpine Amps, other junk.
1995 Ford 7.3 F250 4x4 Super Cab. Power Hungry Preformance tooned, Rosewood Diesel stage 1 injectors, 6.Oh intercooler, Custom PPG Paint, 37" Toyo M/T, Sir Michels rollpan, Mickey Thompson 17" custom rims, and more.
I've replaced it twice with the ford gray one. No change And it's not random like a CPS Almost every time it will do it by bringing up the rpms and letting off.
Full of oil? Do it with the icp unplugged? Nut on the ipr tight?
Full of fresh valvoline 15/40. New ford IPR and nut is tight. Have not tried unplugging the icp. Will do that today and report back.
Don't think it's the chip. Might have something to do with pedal sensor.
Ok. After running it yesterday with the Icp unplugged, it has not done it yet. I'm going to run it some more tomorrow and see if I can make it die.
Now, if this solves the issue, what is it pointing to? Icp sensor? Or Hpop?
So the truck will not die with the icp unplugged. Once it's plugged back in, it will die. Will be replacing the sensor tomorrow.


When I am travelling with my family, I don't mind to spent some time travelling to a place where my son can have a good gluten free meal. While looking for that specific place you get to see places you would miss if you only stick to the area near your hotel. Like in Singapore we visited the hardlands to get to Glee, the one and only 100% glutenfree restaurant from Singapore. And in Tokyo we travelled about 40 minutes to get to an Italian restaurant with gluten free options. At the end we also found a nice place called 'Little bird' with gluten free food in a more popular area of Tokyo.
I like to share these spots as save gluten free food is important if you have a strict diet and they are hard to find.
A well known place in the immediate surroundings of Delft is The Welsh Bakestone. It is not in Delft but in The Hague (Scheveningen). 25 minutes by car from Delft center. You can park for free in front of it.
It's a bakery and lunch room with 100% gluten free food and they also serve dairy free products. It is a heaven for celiac patients as they sell fresh bread and pastries, pizza's (order this in advance to be sure they have it for you) and pies. Last time I took a quiche with me because I lacked time making one myself. It was good and reasonably priced.
They also have a little shop with packed gluten free products. These are more divers than the products you find in regular supermarkets. I go here every now and then to buy fresh food and packed stuff to have something in stock at home.
Look at the website for the exact opening hours. They are not open daily. The website is in Dutch, English and German.
They have a map on their website to show you how to get there.

Christy Doran (Greystones, 21 juni 1949) is een Iers/Zwitsers jazzgitarist.

Biografie
Doran verhuisde op 11-jarige leeftijd met zijn gezin naar Luzern, waar hij sindsdien woont. Via zijn vader, een balladzanger,  kwam hij in contact met muziek en werd als tiener beïnvloed door de muziek van Jimi Hendrix en John Coltrane. Hij volgde de conservatoria van Bern en Luzern en de Bern Jazz School. Gedurende deze tijd speelde hij in 1969 en 1970 in de Jazz-Rock-Experience van Bruno Spoerri en Hans Kennel. In 1972 formeerde hij de elektricjazzband OM met Bobby Burri, Urs Leimgruber en Fredy Studer, waar vooral Doran verantwoordelijk was voor de composities. De band toerde met succes door Europa, trad op tijdens het Montreux Jazz Festival en bracht vervolgens vijf platen uit. Doran speelde voor OM tot de ontbinding in 1982.

In 1984 werkte Doran als drummer in zijn eigen septet met Norma Winstone, Urs Leimgruber, Rosko Gee, Trilok Gurtu, Dom Um Romão en zijn jongere broer Dave Doran. Van 1985 tot 1987 speelde hij met Studer en gitarist Stephan Wittwer in de band Red Twist & Tuned Arrow (cd 1985). Hij trad vervolgens op met Studer en Burri en met Olivier Magnenat als de tweede contrabassist. Een tweede contrabasproject begon in 1994 met Jamaaladeen Tacuma en Jean-François Jenny-Clark. Hij verscheen voor het eerst in een duo in 1989 met de trombonist Ray Anderson (later als een trio met Han Bennink). Doran speelde met de Amerikaanse fluitist Robert Dick en de Britse drummer Steve Argüelles in het trio A.D.D. Tussen 1993 en 1996 hadden Doran en Studer hun eerste Jimi Hendrix-project (met Amin Ali, Phil Minton en Tom Cora en Django Bates. In een later project werkten ze samen met Erika Stucky en Kim Clarke). Met John Wolf Brennan en Patrice Héral vormde Doran een trio, dat later werd uitgebreid met zanger Bruno Amstad.

In 1997 formeerde Doran zijn New Bag met Bruno Amstad (zang), Fabian Kuratli (drums) en Wolfgang Zwiauer (e-bas), die werd uitgebreid met de Zuid-Indiase mridangam-speler Muthuswamy Balasubramoniam en de toetsenist Hans-Peter Pfammatter. In 2013 werd de band omgezet met zangeres Sarah Buechi, toetsenist Vincent Membrez en drummer Lionel Friedli. Hij speelde ook met Reto Weber en Albert Mangelsdorff en in een trio met Heiri Känzig en Fabian Kuratli. Hij speelde ook met Sonny Sharrock en sinds 2007 af en toe in de hereniging van OM. Hij heeft cd's opgenomen met Marty Ehrlich, Hank Roberts, Gary Thomas, Mark Helias, Bobby Previte en Airto Moreira.

Doran was ook mede-oprichter van de Jazz School Lucerne (nu de Lucerne School of Music) in 1972, waar hij sindsdien gitaar, jazz en vrije improvisatie doceert. Naast lesgeven schrijft hij ook muziek voor theater, film en ballet. Hij is getrouwd en vader van twee zonen. De broers en zussen van Doran, drummer Dave en saxofonist Brigeen Doran, zijn ook jazzmuzikanten. In 2003 ontving Doran de prijs voor kunst en cultuur van de stad Luzern.

Below From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evelyn Laye OBE (10 July 1900 � 17 February 1996) was an English theatre actress.
Born Elsie Evelyn Lay in Bloomsbury, London, England, Laye made her first stage appearance in August 1915 at the Theatre Royal, Brighton as Nang-Ping in Mr. Wu, and her first London appearance at the East Ham Palace on 24 April, 1916, in the revue Honi Soit, in which she subsequently toured.
For the first few years of her career played she mainly in musical comedy and operetta, including Going Up in 1918. Among her successes during the 1920s were Madame Pompadour (1923), The Dollar Princess and Lilac Time. She made her Broadway debut in 1929 in Noel Coward's Bitter Sweet.
Married to the actor Sonnie Hale in 1926, Laye received widespread public sympathy when Hale left her for the actress Jessie Matthews in 1930. She continued acting in such productions as The Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.
She acted several times opposite her second husband, the actor Frank Lawton, including in the 1956 sitcom My Husband and I. Her other stage successes included Silver Wedding (1957) with Lawton, and The Amorous Prawn (1959) and Phil the Fluter (1969).
Awarded an OBE in 1973, Laye continued acting well into her nineties. It was reported after Laye's death that Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother had planned to try to get her knighted (created a DBE) even though Laye was already in her 90s.
Her acting career ranks as one of the longest in British theatre. During a tribute in 1992 at the London Palladium the actor Sir John Mills described her as "the fairest prima donna this side of heaven".
She died in London from respiratory failure at the age of 95.

Let's Talk About Genocide: The Numerical Counter-Argument to the Genocide of the Palestinian People
For other articles in this series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Typical meme making the numerical counter argument to the assertion that Israel is committing genocide against the indigenous Palestinian people.
From the moment I started addressing Israel in the context of the crime of genocide, I became acquainted with the numerical counter-argument. The argument usually goes something around the lines of "Israel really sucks at genocide, the Palestinian population has increased eight- fold." As time went by, since 2014, we've seen the word 'genocide' more commonly applied to Israel's practices against the indigenous Palestinian people, and the numerical counter-argument became more common as well, including numerous chart memes, illustrating the point, which are making the rounds on social media (left).

Let's Talk About Genocide: The United Nations Lack of Responsibility to Protect from and Prevent Israel's Genocide of the Palestinian People
In the summer of 2012, UNICEF and UNRWA asked if Gaza will be liveable by 2020. At the time- five years into Israel's siege, and post Israel's 2008 and 2012 carpet-bombing campaigns- one might have been led to think that if the situation only had eight more stable years to go until apocalypse, then it probably doesn't look too good already. What one might have missed is that Gaza in 2020, as in 2017, as in 2012, is what genocide looks like.

Let's Talk About Genocide: Shoot to Kill – Israel's New Phase of Genocidal Policy
The most recent report from the Palestinian Health Ministry relates that 44 Palestinians have been killed by Israel's army, police and settlers, since the beginning of the month- in the past 18 days. 11 of them were children under 18 years of age. All 44 have been shot, most during demonstrations, least while wielding a knife, and others while standing in the street being Arab.
The most disturbing aspect of this new wave of extrajudicial executions is of course the latter, in which random Palestinian citizens of Israel are attacked in the street by random Jewish citizens if identified to be Arab.

Let's Talk About Genocide: Palestine and United Nations Realpolitik
On the 7th of April 2004, then United Nations Secretary General to the Commission on Human Rights, Kofi Annan, launched his Action Plan to Prevent Genocide:
We must never forget our collective failure to protect at least 800,000 defenceless men, women and children who perished in Rwanda 10 years ago. Such crimes cannot be reversed. Such failures cannot be repaired. The dead cannot be brought back to life. So what can we do?
In my series of articles about Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, I tackle this assertion through different aspects of prevention mechanisms that have been put forth by the United Nations, such as The Convention of Prevention of Genocide, the UN Special Adviser on Prevention of Genocide statements, and other reports and documents. In this article, I'd like to discuss Annan's plan, which is an overarching document and a promise of the UN to endangered communities that asses the dangers as they happen, and to bring it to task about its inaction to prevent Israel's genocide of the Palestinian People.

A Piece That Inspires Me – 'No One Mourns the Wicked' by Stephen Schwartz
Posted on November 17, 2014 June 3, 2015 by Kirsty Devaney Posted in Music to listen to, Uncategorized
Being a bit of a musical theatre geek, when asked to write about a piece that inspires me the incredible opening number from Stephen Schwartz's musical 'Wicked' immediately came to mind.
What do you find musically interesting?
I love the way in which this song is able to incorporate so many themes and motifs from elsewhere in the musical in a way that very cleverly foreshadows elements of the plot. For example, the 'unlimited' motif is played on the horn at 0:42 and this recurs throughout the other songs as well as in the incidental music. Schwartz also makes brilliant use of different timbres to illustrate the personalities of the characters: for example, he uses the strong, powerful sounding brass section when playing Elphaba's motifs and then tremolo strings and high woodwind for Glinda's entry which really highlights their contrasting characters. Also really interesting is Schwartz's use of more unusual instruments such as the use of bells to give the chorus sections a sinister, almost religious undertone which highlights the dark message of the song. His use of synths, the bells and various drums also gives the music an other-worldly feel which really captures the setting.
What do you think this piece is about?
As this is a song I feel as though I have an unfair advantage when it comes deciding what the piece is about! The lyrics would suggest that the piece is about the ultimate triumph of good over evil; however, there is also a lot in the music, as well as the lyrics, which hints at extra meaning. For example, the use of really rich harmonies, particularly in the vocal parts, gives the piece an epic sound and I think that this very much reflects the passion and emotion of the characters in the way that the difference between, say, a C major chord and a C major M7 add9 chord can. The very high soprano lines sung by Glinda that sound almost operatic also make the audience picture her as this angelic, almost ethereal character in the way that they don't with many of her other, much lower songs and, as the story begins at the end and is then flashbacks, this shows how Glinda's character has developed into becoming this leader who is able to rise above everyone else, both emotionally and quite literally vocally!
How does the composer develop the material?
The piece is made up of several, fairly contrasting sections that make the piece almost like a rhapsody in the way in which it changes as different characters tell their stories. However these different sections are all underpinned by the way in which the story flows lyrically from one to the next, aided by Glinda's narration. What's also brilliant is the way in which Schwartz transitions from section to section using things like glissandos on wind-chimes, percussion and dynamics to build up from one section to the next. However, despite the contrast within the song, the piece as a whole is underpinned by the key 'wicked' motif, an idea that occurs in many forms throughout the whole musical and is the foundation for many of the other songs whether that be through the use of its rhythm, as Schwartz does in 'As Long as You're Mine', or its melody as he does in 'No Good Deed'. In 'No One Mourns the Wicked' specifically, this motif is developed with increasing dynamics, heightening pitch and increasing texture in a way that makes it build and build – which is pretty amazing when you consider how epically the piece began!

COMMODORE CLASSIC

Vanderbilt pulls away late to beat Alcorn State
Second-half surge pushes Vanderbilt past Alcorn State (1:51)
The Commodores move to 3-0 on the season behind 20 points from freshman Simisola Shittu. (1:51)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt won by 25 points, but it seemed like an off-night during much of the game.
That's how high expectations have become for the Commodores with their highly-touted recruiting class.
Freshman Simi Shittu scored 20 points and senior Joe Toye added 14, and Vanderbilt beat Alcorn State 79-54 Friday night.
"I thought Alcorn played really well," Commodores coach Bryce Drew said. "Early in the season when you face a lot of changing defenses, especially with a young team, it can keep you off balance. We just couldn't get into a rhythm offensively until about that 15-minute mark in the second half."
Shittu, a 6-foot-10 power forward, was a force inside, hitting 9 of 11 shots from the floor. He also blocked three shots for the 3-0 Commodores.
Vanderbilt freshman Darius Garland, who entered the game tied for second in scoring in the Southeastern Conference, was held to a season-low three points -- 18.5 below his average. The point guard missed 5 of 6 from the floor, but he had seven rebounds and four assists.
"We wanted to focus in on Garland and I thought defensively we did a great job holding a guy of his caliber to three points," Braves coach Montez Robinson said. "We wanted to just try to take the ball out of his hands as much as possible. But when you take away a player like him you can't let other guys make up for it."
Shittu and Garland, both five star-prospects and McDonald's All-Americans, form the core of Vanderbilt's best recruiting class in school history.
Vanderbilt's Matt Ryan added 12 points as the Notre Dame transfer hit four 3-pointers. Saben Lee added 10 points and a game-high six assists.
Matthew Moyer, who was granted an NCAA waiver earlier in the week, had a team-high eight rebounds and five points in his Vanderbilt debut after transferring from Syracuse in the summer.
The NCAA allowed the 6-foot-8 forward to play immediately instead of sitting out one year.
"Length, he brings energy as well," Shittu said when asked what Moyer can add to the lineup. "Leadership because he's been to where we're trying to be this year. And he's a good teammate as well."
Troymain Crosby led Alcorn State (1-2) with 11 points and Deshawn Andrews had 10. Maurice Howard, who scored a career-high 24 points in Alcorn State's previous game against Blue Mountain, was held to five points on 2 of 11 shooting.
Alcorn State cut Vanderbilt's lead to 50-41 with 12:11 left, but the Commodores closed with a 29-13 run. The Braves shot 32 percent from the floor.
Vanderbilt had a 16-2 edge in fast-break points and a 42-22 advantage on points in the paint.
Vanderbilt couldn't find a steady rhythm in the first half, but still managed a 37-29 lead.
Alcorn State faces another SEC team when it visits Mississippi State on Nov. 26.
INJURED BRAVE
Alcorn State's Alonzo Campbell, a 7-foot center, was helped off the court, favoring his right hip 19 seconds into the second half. "I think it was a hip pointer," Robinson said. "We won't know the depth of it until we get back. With something like that (he could be out) a couple of weeks maybe. I hope it's two weeks, it's a guessing game."
STILL CONTRIBUTING
Garland still found ways to contribute even though his shots weren't falling. "Obviously, we'd like him to score more, but he does so many things out there," Drew said. "He controls the tempo. He only had four assists, but if we probably would have made more layups and 3's, he could have had 10 assists easily. Even when he's not scoring he's so important out there."
Alcorn State: The Braves stayed within striking range until the Commodores pulled away late.
Vanderbilt: After demolishing the Braves by 39 points last season the Commodores got a much tougher battle this time, especially during the first 30 minutes.
Alcorn State visits Kent State Sunday in the second of a five straight road games.
Vanderbilt hosts Liberty on Monday in the second of a four-game homestand.

The Walking Dead Issue 185, On Guard Review: The Calm Before the Inevitable Storm.
thereviewmonster	Review	 November 13, 2018 2 Minutes
When Rick got his hand cut off by the Governor all the way back in the prison arc, I never thought there would be a twist where he gained the magical ability to grow it back.
However, in the latest issue of The Walking Dead, "On Guard", Rick obtained this ability because while talking with Dwight his hand magically grew back!
Okay, time to get serious now.
In all honesty Rick's hand appearing to have grown back was nothing more than a funny mistake.
That said though, the scene where this happened was anything but funny, with Rick confronting Dwight about his actions throughout "On Guard."
This moment marked the culmination of Dwight's devious actions, which began right from the last issue's cliffhanger, where Dwight was angered by Rick's refusal to attempt a take over of the Commonwealth.
Here, in the beginning of the issue, Rick logically points out to Dwight why they could never take the Commonwealth by force and tells him to get out.
After this, Dwight attacks some soldiers to gauge the citizens' reaction and is thrown in jail.
This leads to the ending scene of the issue where Rick confronts Dwight (and we are given that funny mistake of Rick's regrown hand), with him again logically pointing out why Dwight is wrong.
I do not think Dwight will listen though, despite how much I hate where his character is going.
He was such an amazing character in the Whisperer Arc, however, after Sherry's death, he has been in a slow downward spiral.
I do not know if Robert Kirkman is trying to make him unlikable but if he is not then he really needs to improve on Dwight's character.
Still, Dwight's antics did lead to be best part of the issue, which was the cliffhanger.
In the final scene, after Rick once again points out how dangerous Dwight's plan is, he is confronted by Mercer who overheard the conversation.
Mercer calls Rick "the leader the Commonwealth needs" in a fantastic bit of development from him that shows just how impressed he has become of Rick and his people during the brief time they have known each other.
This also has massive implications for the next chapter because, based on the chapter, it looks like someone will try to assassinate Pamela with Rick getting in the way so maybe this is an expansion of Mercer's endorsement of Rick.
That said, I do not think Mercer will be the one aiming the gun at Pamela because he has stated previously he has never wanted her dead so I have no idea who the gunman will be.
The rest of "On Guard" was pretty decent, with both good and bad moments.
For example, the scene where Rick breaks down into tears over how much Andrea would have loved the Commonwealth was a great scene.
However, the one where Sophia complained to Carl about how she has never had sex had a lot of cringe to it and I really hope it is not setting up some kind of love triangle between them and Lydia.
Although, there were plenty of good and bad moments in this issue I am eagerly looking forward to the next one.
Multiple things are hinting at this issue, "The Powder Keg," being a big turning point, from its title, to the cover, to even a scene between Magna and Yumiko in "On Guard."
In a moment between the two Magna comments, "when things are peaceful, that's all just killing time between the horror."
And if that is not an ominous hint towards next issue then I do not know what is.

Hemorrhoids can be caused or painful by the pressure sitting puts on the lower extremities.
Exercising and losing weight will also help with hemorrhoids since being overweight is an additional common cause. Drink plenty of water. If you exercise regularly you need to avoid quenching your thirst with such things as soda pop, alcohol or energy drinks to avoid dehydration. Hemorrhoids and constipation are both brought on by dehydration as the stools become dry you tend to strain in order to get them out. For this reason it's important to ensure you are getting enough water to make the difference in whether or not you get hemorrhoids.
When you have a condition that requires you to take anticoagulants, for example, you need to talk to your doctor before taking any over the counter medications for hemorrhoids. In the same way, if you are experiencing bleeding on a regular basis, this should be checked by a physician. Some symptoms get incorrectly related to hemorrhoids. If, for example, you are experiencing and abdominal pain, you should see a doctor as soon as possible, because this is not a symptom of hemorrhoids.
Lack of exercise and not getting enough fluids are also common causes of hemorrhoids. All of these also contribute to constipation, which is often associated with hemorrhoids. By making sure changes in your lifestyle, you may be able to prevent future occurrences of hemorrhoids. Try to get more exercise, drink a lot more water, and eat much more fiber. All of these can help control the symptoms of hemorrhoids.
5 yoga poses for piles.
Fortunately for you personally they don't usually last too long. Make an appointment with your physcian in case your symptoms worsen or are lasting too much time. You might need a stronger medication or method in order to alleviate your symptoms. Not every case will present with the symptoms we now have reviewed here, yours could be different. Thankfully most hemorrhoid symptoms are manageable without the help of a physician.

Does Trump Want to Starve Your Grandma?
Evil. Demented. Morally bankrupt. Brutal. Horrifying.
These are all descriptions that have appeared in opinion articles by liberal pundits in the last week. Were they used to describe North Korea's oppressive reign of terror? Or maybe the desperation and degradation Venezuela's socialist government has brought upon its people? No. These morally charged words were used against fellow Americans over disagreements in government funding priorities.
Last week, Trump released his first budget outline and it contained proposed cuts to various programs. This has led to exaggerated claims that Trump wants to kill Big Bird, starve the elderly, and eliminate art. These are great talking points, but bear no resemblance to reality.
There is a fundamental disagreement between conservatives and liberals over the role and responsibilities of the Federal Government, and I have seen little evidence that many liberals understand the conservative argument. Too many liberals conflate wanting something to exist with wanting the Federal Government to pay for it. This is how they can draw a straight line between opposing the government forcing employers to pay for birth control and wanting to outright ban birth control. This is how they can say opposing government run healthcare means the Republican plan is for sick people to die quickly.
And this is how they can say Trump's budget means he wants the little old lady across the street to starve.
I could, as other conservatives have done over the last week, make the argument that this funding from the Federal Government is not needed. I could point out that Sesame Street has a deal with HBO, so Big Bird is safe. I could mention that only a small portion of the funding from one of the agencies Trump wants to cut goes to Meals on Wheels, and the money that would be lost is only a small portion of the funding that some Meals on Wheels programs currently use. I could reel off statistics showing that federal funding for the arts is a small fraction of what private businesses and individuals contribute. I could go through each one of these programs and demonstrate they would survive Trump's budget using facts and figures.
But that is being done by other people and is not my interest. I have a more fundamental question to ask, namely, why is any of this the Federal Government's concern? Why should Washington be involved in children's TV shows? Should Senators and bureaucrats really decide what art deserves support? From my limited knowledge of the program, Meals on Wheels appears to be a fantastic organization, but why is it the Federal Government's responsibility to fund local nutritional support programs? Americans give hundreds of billions of dollars to charities each year. And if government support really is vital, let local and state governments pay for local and state programs.
For conservatives, the argument is not that children should not watch educational TV shows, or that art is worthless, or that the elderly should go hungry; the argument is that it is not the Federal Government's place to direct these things and they are better left to private organizations or local, and therefore more accountable, government.
A debate about resource allocation would mean liberals have to defend every dollar spent and account for its effectiveness. But there is so much waste, duplicative programs, ineffective spending, and special interest giveaways that they could not possibly do that. It is much easier to simply impugn the other side's motives.
"If the Federal Government cuts block grants that mostly fund corporate welfare but also provide a small portion of the Meals on Wheels budget, then State Governments might have to make up the difference rather than provide lavish benefits to government employees" is not a winning argument. "Trump wants your nana to starve" is so emotionally charged that stopping to look at the facts seems ludicrous. Trump is trying to starve little old ladies and you want me to take time looking at statistics and the actual budget proposal? No, we need to act now!
This, incidentally, is why so few of the news reports mentioned that most of the federal support for Meals on Wheels remains intact in Trump's budget. Meals on Wheels receives funding from a variety of sources, so the details are not precise, but it looks as if the program Trump wants to cut accounts for approximately 1% of their budget. There was not time even for reporters to check all the facts before alerting the country to the impending elderly famine.
Perhaps all of the programs that Trump wants to cut are great and deserve to be supported. If so, liberals are welcome to donate their money to the organizations of their choice. But if they want to force other people to pay for them, they should explain why my money, against my will, should be taken and given to these programs. They should make that argument on the merits, without employing false and emotionally charged accusations.
