The new year could prove to be one of the most progressive years for regenerative medicine yet. On a global scale, the sheer number of companies, universities and financial institutions conducting or backing research and development in the field implies great potential for regenerative cell therapies to become "mainstream" in the medical community.
Advocacy groups such as The Alliance for Regenerative Medicine(ARM) are working with legislators, regulatory agencies, and investment communities such as Maxim Group, to promote development, and advance availability of cell therapy technologies, as published by The Life Sciences Report.
"Cell therapy ultimately lowers the cost of treating disease, and at a time when there is an outcry over high-priced therapies, cell therapy offers promise to lower the cost of treating disease. In terms of politics, the cell therapies we are focusing on are typically not controversial (using adult stem cells, not cells from embryos). As such, we don't see any controversy. The big change in the landscape now is the acceptance that cell therapy is safe," says Jason Kolbert, senior biotechnology analyst and head of healthcare research with Maxim Group.
Regenerative medicine is a class of breakthrough procedures that are based on the potential healing capabilities of a patient's own stem cells which contain growth factors and signaling proteins that can propagate the regeneration of damaged tissue.
Generally, procedure entails extracting stem cells from where they reside in the body, and injecting them to the problem area. Nature then takes its course, and allows the body's natural healing process to occur.
Stem cells can be harvested and concentrated or isolated from bone marrow or fat, respectively, to be reinjected directly into an area where there is damaged or degenerating tissues. Applications of these therapies are most commonly used to treat osteoarthritis of any joint, and sports/overuse injury.
With maturity and wide-spread movement in the stem cell therapy field comes great promise. What continuing support means for millions of patients who suffer chronic musculoskeletal pain, is a potentially healthier year in 2015, and for years to come.

Knees are the largest joints in our bodies. They're also amongst the hardest working joints, allowing daily flexion, extension and slight internal and external rotation of the legs. As being one of the most used joints, they are also the most commonly injured.
Within the knee is the "Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), one of the four major ligaments of the knee joint that coordinate function and promote stability of the knee joint [and] provides roughly 90 percent of stability in the knee joint," as defined by UCFS Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, who also report that, "ACL injury has an annual incidence of more than 200,000 cases with 70 percent of cases occurring while playing agility sports."
Though the majority of damage to the ACL is dominantly sports related, injury can occur in any case in which there is sudden stopping, twisting or pivoting, unbalanced landing from a jump, or attempt to regain balance from a stumble or fall. People experience degrees of damage that can range from partial to complete tear of the ACL, resulting in a variety of symptoms depending on the severity of injury including:
Traditional treatment for acute ACL tears or injury consists of invasive operative procedures which consist of at least six to nine months of physical therapy before the patient can return to normal levels of functioning and activity.
However, stem cell therapies available at Regen Doctor offer a viable alternative for those who may be considering surgery due to a partial or complete non-retracted ACL tear. By using PRP and/or stem cell treatments, surgical procedures and related risks can be avoided.
Regenerative treatment options utilize the body's own signaling cells to heal a site-specific area of an affected limb, allowing accelerated regeneration of joint tissues in the ACL. These non-operative procedures are provided in-office, with recovery time averaging a few weeks for patients, as opposed to many months of rehabilitation post surgery.
Stem cell therapies are trusted and proven orthopedic treatments to help alleviate pain and regain function of the knees from ACL tears or sprains.
Contact us a Regen Doctor in Ventura County to learn more about regenerative medicine, and to find out if your a candidate for this revolutionary treatment for healing your ACL injury.
Ischial tuberosity bursitis treatment often takes several months — if done the conventional way. Using PRP or stem cell treatment, we can often eliminate inflammation and regenerate the tissues of your body more quickly, even if traditional treatments have failed.
Understanding Ischial Tuberosity Bursitis
When the closed sac, known as the bursa, located between the ischial tuberosity and the hamstring tendon becomes inflamed, the condition is known as ischial tuberosity bursitis.
The most common cause of an ischial tuberosity bursitis is sports injury. Injuries which cause strain in the hamstring muscle or tendon, or which cause tendonitis in the hamstring tendon, can result in bursitis. The symptoms of an ischial tuberosity bursitis usually include pain in the lower buttocks while sitting. There may also be tingling or numbness in the lower leg, which may also be aggravated by flexing the knee.
Hamstring strains — commonly known as pulled hamstrings — are injuries where the tendon fibers or hamstring muscles located at the back of the thigh experience a tear due to overstretching. Hamstring strains are rated on a scale of 1 to 3, with a grade 3 strain being the most severe (where the patient loses almost all their mobility as a result of a completely torn hamstring).
Hamstring injuries are most common in athletes, though they're also possible in people with poor muscular strength. The pain of a hamstring strain usually appears very suddenly, and it tends to follow a popping sound from the area. Shortly afterwards the back of the thigh becomes tender, swollen, and bruised.
Ischial tuberosity bursitis can also be caused by hamstring muscles rubbing up against the ischial tuberosity, which irritates the bursa and causes inflammation.
How We Treat Ischial Tuberosity Bursitis
At Regenerative Medicine Specialists, we focus on treatment options which provide same-day in-office treatment, with no hospital stay required. In most cases we use either stem cells or platelet rich plasma treatment.
Stem cells are a type of cell which exists throughout your body. These cells are normally dormant, but when needed they are capable of forming almost any kind of cell your body requires depending on the local conditions. They also release many different chemicals themselves, helping activate and attract nearby stem cells, promote cellular regeneration, increase blood flow, and provide proper healing.
You may be aware of certain lizards which can regrow their tails if they are cut off — they use stem cells to do this. In humans, our doctors can use stem cells to heal degeneration and chronic injuries that result in disability and pain.
Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a concentrated form of your body's own blood platelets, derived from your blood. It also contains stem cells. Platelets are circulating blood cell fragments which play a key role in healing and blood clotting, and they release signaling molecules which attract healing cells when they are activated.
A PRP injection creates a local environment which favors better blood flow, healthy tissue regeneration, and healing in a manner that minimizes fibrosis (scarring) as well as dysfunctional tissue architectures that can limit normal movement and further propagate pain.
Many people believe that the only options for treating significant shoulder injuries are steroid injections, opioids, or surgery. However, our doctors can offer you an alternative — regenerative medicine solutions like PRP or stem cell treatments can give relief for many common shoulder problems. Conditions like AC joint or glenohumeral arthritis, rotator cuff syndrome, bursitis, bicep tendinitis, labral problems, or ligament sprains all often respond to regenerative techniques. If you suffer from these problems, or other issues that produce pain in your shoulders, pay us a visit to learn whether your body's own cells might help regenerate your tissues and repair the damage. We are regenerative medicine specialists and can help with such conditions.
Here are a few conditions we frequently treat.
Glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition which results from normal wear and tear. It tends to increase as you age or as a result of being overweight. Traumatic injuries — injuries resulting from work or sports, or accidents — may accelerate the degeneration and result in premature OA for younger people also.
AC joint osteoarthritis, on the other hand, is frequently the result of falls (when someone braces themselves) or even simply stretching out the arm. Athletes and people who have physically demanding jobs often experience injuries in this area. Both trauma and overuse of the area may set off pain or osteoporosis.
The pain resulting from shoulder arthritis can be very significant, it often leads to limitations in mobility. A noticeable lump may appear, the collarbone may start protruding, or the shoulder may see bruising.
Conventional treatments for shoulder-area arthritis may fail, leading some patients to believe complete joint replacement is their only option. However this should be considered a last resort – it can lead to irreversible and unsatisfactory results, along with prolonged rehabilitation time and post-operative pain.
PRP or stem cell treatment, however, allows you to use your body's own cells to repair damaged tissue. This avoids the risks incurred by more invasive treatments. Instead, stem cell or PRP treatments work to restore damaged cartilage and address the underlying problem — they don't focus on the just the symptoms.
Labral Tears
A torn labrum affects the soft rim of cartilage around the shoulder bone's ball and socket joint. A number of tendons and ligaments are attached to the labrum, all working together to help stabilize the shoulder. Sometimes the problem is the result of a piece of cartilage which shifts out of position and slowly tears the labrum. In other cases, the injury may be more sudden.
In all cases of a torn labrum, however, the shoulder becomes unstable. It is a tremendously painful condition and does not go unnoticed.
What causes a labral tear? Most cases involve a sports-related injury, as the labrum is connected to the biceps. Harsh motions and strong force in this area (as is seen with golfers, weightlifters, and baseball pitchers) can create labral tears.
Often, conservative care techniques do not give relief for labral tears, leading doctors to recommend surgery. Unfortunately surgery carries with it a rehabilitation period and prolonged post-operative pain. As a result stem cell treatment and/or PRP can be more appropriate, avoiding invasive, painful procedures which do not always succeed.
December 15, 2015— Australian biotech research company, Living Cell Technologies, announced successful completion of a milestone phase in a clinical trial investigating regenerative cell therapy for Parkinson's disease.
Chief executive, Dr. Ken Taylor states –
"The treatment [known as NTCELL], has the potential to be the first disease-modifying treatment for patients who are failing the current conventional treatment for Parkinson's disease."
Living Cell Technologies projects that NTCELL treatments hold the potential to be used in not only Parkinson's, but other disorders that degenerate the central nervous system such as Huntington's and Alzheimer's disease. Results of the 26-week trial are scheduled to be released in June 2015 at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders. See full news release.

It's widely known that a healthy diet is important for keeping all your vital systems in optimal, healthy condition. A common misconception is that a diet consisting of high-fat foods is the main culprit behind critical conditions that lead to more serious disease. However, recent studies show that excessive intake of refined sugars and refined carbohydrates are the real enemy.
High consumption of refined sugar found in sodas, energy drinks, pastries, candy and other processed foods account for more than one-third of the added sugar we consume as a nation, as stated in an article published by Harvard Medical School—and have been attributed as a common factor in the leading cause of death in America; heart disease—according to a report published by the Center for Disease Control and prevention (CDC).
However, diet is not only directly related to major heart conditions and other life-threatening disease such as Type II diabetes, but researchers have made a critical link between diet and stem cell health.
A study published by the U.S. National Institutes of Health reports individuals with poor blood sugar control (including diabetics) had fewer stem cells circulating to repair damaged arteries. Conversely, other research shows that the treatment of diabetics to lower blood-sugar levels increased the number of stem cells.
At Regen Doctor in Ventura County, our regenerative medicine physicians believe in a holistic, and preventative approach to optimal stem cell health, and overall wellness.
Make small realistic steps toward healthy eating. Taking a one-day-at-a-time, one-meal-at-a-time approach will lead you down the road to healthy success, as opposed to a radical change in diet that can lead to frustration, and ultimately dietary defeat.
Change what's easiest for you at first, and you'll successively make changes that will lead to vastly improved health over time. Here are some other helpful diet suggestions from our doctors to help you not only improve the health of your stem cells, but your whole body:

Recent research reveals the increasing use and effectiveness of PRP therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for minor to serious sports injuries.
An article published by the AAOS (American Academy of Othopaedic Surgeons) states that, "Many famous athletes — Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant [and] tennis star Rafael Nadal, along with several others — have received PRP for various problems, such as sprained knees and chronic tendon injuries." The research also shows that through PRP injections, patients are more likely to avoid aggressive surgical procedure to help heal and alleviate constant pain from their sports related conditions.
The Downside of Traditional Treatment in Sports Medicine
Traditional and common approaches to sports injuries can often lead to disappointing or frustrating results. For minor injuries such as ligament sprains of the ankle or wrist, R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, and elevation), can be helpful for temporary relief, but don't restore healthier function back to the affected area(s) after injury.
In the case of more serious conditions such as rotator cuff tears, severe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, tennis or golf elbow, ulnar collateral ligament injuries, and tendonitis, the widely used application of cortisone injection, or surgery, can often result in complications such as instability, stiffness, and overall failure to increased healing, or patient satisfaction.
PRP Therapy as an Effective Alternative
In short, PRP therapy is a proven holistic procedure in which a blood draw from a patient is treated to extract and separate a rich mixture of platelets and growth factors found naturally within the blood. This concentration is then injected back into the local site of injury. Bioactive proteins found in the PRP concentrate prompt the body's own natural healing of degenerative tissue via the affect of the growth factors, reducing and easing chronic pain and discomfort within weeks.
Conversely, cortisone injections do not promote healing capabilities. Rather, they only mask inflammation and inhibit the patient from fully feeling pain, and surgery does not guarantee healthy stabilization back to the body.
If you suffer from a sports injury or osteoarthritis, and want to find out if regenerative medicine could be the right treatment option for you, contact us today at Regen Doctors in Ventura County. Our Regenerative Medicine Specialists are here to help you heal and get back in the game.

Chef Kayson Chong
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Chong was exposed to restaurants at an early age, thanks to his mother. A curious child, he frequently slipped into the kitchens of the restaurants they frequented to admire the chefs at work. Chong was also deeply inspired by the original Iron Chef on The Food Network, which reinforced his culinary calling. In 2002, he enrolled in San Francisco's California Culinary Academy, an affiliate of Le Cordon Bleu, and began his journey to becoming a successful chef. Upon graduation, he joined the team of Master Chef Wolfgang Puck's award-winning Postrio, located at the Prescott Hotel in San Francisco's Union Square. In 2003, Chong relocated to Las Vegas to work under Chef Julian Serrano at the five diamond French restaurant, Picasso, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino. Working with Serrano's Chef de Cuisine Yoshi Honda for over two years on the meat station, Chong quickly learned the basics of how to be a well-rounded chef, from menu creation to cooking technique.
BLT Restaurant Group announced its plans to open a BLT Steak in Los Angeles. Being a native Angeleno, Chong immediately recognized a calling to join the opening team at the renowned group's first West Coast outpost. Under the direction of a seasoned team of restaurateurs, Chong perfected the art of the modern American steakhouse and flexed his culinary artistry. From there, he learned of Chef/Restaurateur Michael Mina's plans to premier a new Los Angeles concept alongside hospitality group, SBE. After a successful opening, Chong returned to his steakhouse expertise as part of the opening team of the new Sunset Blvd. location of BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood. Although his time at BOA Steakhouse was valuable, Chong maintained close relationships with the BLT Restaurant team and was encouraged to join the opening team of GO Burger. With a diverse culinary background and an extensive resume of opening experience, Chong was perfectly poised to become chef de cuisine of the new burger concept of the renowned restaurant group.
After completing tenure with the BLT restaurant group, Chong spent two years opening six different concepts all over Southern California that continue to flourish today. Chong joined the Röckenwagner family as the Corporate Chef and continued to provide his expertise to the multi-location group. Chong was responsible for overseeing the kitchen staff, executing high-quality cuisine and upholding the high standards that is signature of Röckenwagner.
Multitasking as founding partner and chef of Mainland Poke Shop on West 3rd St. in Los Angeles, Chong has dedicated his skills to the current Poke craze in Los Angeles and continues to provide the quality of non-frozen fish in your personally customizable poke bowls.

The elimination of these teams is sad and what is even sadder is nine full-time head coaches will be looking for work. But what is really unfortunate is the timing of the announcement. And no, I'm not talking about the holidays either.
The announcement of the cuts broke on social media almost simultaneously as ESPN "Sports Biz" guru Darren Rovell tweeted out pictures of Temple's new basketball uniforms. In retrospect, that probably should've been delayed.
Think about how it appears - the schools cites lack of funds for seven sports involving nine full-time employees and over 150 athletes then unveils new uniforms for their basketball team. I assume the general thought on this goes something like, "if you have enough money for new uniforms then you should have enough to keep at least one sport around."
I know it is much more complicated than that but still.
This isn't even getting into the fact that the football program can't be making that much money yet is looking to build an on-campus stadium. They are struggling on the field - just look at their 2-10 record - and they are struggling at the gates too. Despite a reported attendance of 20,174 for the game against BCS-bound UCF, the Owls had less than 10,000 people walk through the gates.
Maybe tabling the idea of a new stadium for the time being is a good idea.
The athletic department needed to find money somehow and the elimination of the teams was the saddest option. Unfortunately, that's the route they were forced to take.

Twenty years ago, on a cool May evening, a small group of us stumbled out of The Horns pub in Watford at closing time. A few hours earlier Watford had beaten Grimsby Town 1-0 to confirm their place in the Division One play-offs.
As the fresh night air filled my lungs, I put my arm round my late friend Simon Ricketts' shoulders and burst into song.
'She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May.
And when
I asked
Her why she wore the ribbon,
She said it was for Watford and we're going to Wem-ber-ley.'
We went our separate ways, both still singing until I could no longer hear him and I lowered my voice to a whisper and carried on alone.
A few weeks later, Watford did play at Wembley. They beat Bolton Wanderers 2-0 to win promotion and restore Graham Taylor's reputation as a brilliant manager after his years of hurt with England.
That night, a group of us celebrated together and at about eight o'clock my Dad produced a large plastic lunch box filled with little sandwiches and cocktail sausages. There were smoked salmon and cream cheese, egg and cress, ham and mustard.
Simon always remembered that, the impromptu picnic in the pub.
There's a tradition in Watford that the supporters jump in The Pond at the top of town when the football team has achieved something special. That night, Simon was the only one of our group who honoured the tradition. Of course he was. He slept on my sofa that night, before going to work in the same jeans, and leaving a reedy, metallic whiff of pond that lasted longer than Watford's stay in the Premier League that time round.
* * *
Three weeks ago, as the players entered the field for the FA Cup quarter-final against Crystal Palace, a shower of yellow papery ribbons fell from the roof of the Graham Taylor Stand above my head. It was as if a giant party popper had been let off.
As the ribbons detached and fell around me I instinctively grabbed a length and stuffed it in my coat pocket.
Last week, when I was in London, I reached into my pocket for my train ticket and the length of ribbon flew out and blew along the street. For a split second I thought about leaving it but then had a moment of panic that it might be a bad omen to let it go so I stooped to pick it up. Naturally, the breeze caught it just as I went to grab it and carried the ribbon cartoonishly out of my reach. I had to shuffle after it and make a couple more grabs until I could gather it and put it safely back in my pocket.
* * *
At some point in the last ten or 15 years, Simon fell out of love with Watford, or more to the point he fell out of love with the way football at the highest level had gone. The money, the shouty or idiotic opinions, the anger, the relentlessness of it all.
Simon found what he was missing at Wealdstone, a non-league club that is as honest and raw as they come. He could go to a game and care about it for its duration and enjoy the togetherness with a sense of perspective and not the bluster and ridiculous hype.
But he still cared about Watford in as much as he cared about his friends who still cared. He'd ask me how my 'golden goons' were getting on. He'd watch the odd game on TV and admit that Doucouré was quite a good player. He worked with me to complete Graham Taylor's autobiography after Graham died. Last summer, when Simon was very ill, we went to see the statue of Watford's greatest ever manager outside Vicarage Road and spent a little while remembering the old days.
We talked about the 1980s and how Simon had missed Watford's FA Cup final in 1984 because he had to go to a family party. It still burned that his older brother had been allowed to go. It meant a lot to Simon that he, his brother and their Dad all went to Wembley in 1999 for the play-off final. We talked about that too, and Simon mentioned the picnic in the pub, of course.
'Where do you and your Dad sit these days?' he asked.
'Over the far side, in the Graham Taylor Stand.'
'Does it feel the same now as it did then?' he asked, as he sat beside Graham's statue on the bench.
'It does. It's different in a lot of ways, but it does,' I said.
'Good,' he said.
As we walked back to the car, he said, 'You'll get to another cup final soon, I reckon.'
At the time it just felt like words. A nice thing for a friend to say to another friend. But as my packed train pulled into Harrow and Wealdstone station on the way back from Wembley last night, that conversation popped into my head abruptly, like a jack-in-the-box had gone off.
* * *
My Dad and I went to the FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park in 1984, when Watford beat Plymouth Argyle 1-0, but we didn't go to Wembley for the final against Everton.
I've never really asked what happened but we couldn't get tickets. There was some kind of system in place where you needed a certain number of ticket stubs to qualify and my recollection is that Dad had enough stubs for one ticket but not two and so had to wait until they went on general sale, by which time there were only standing tickets left and the queue for them stretched twice round Vicarage Road. I suspect he could have gone alone if he'd wanted to but he chose not to leave me at home.
It could be that he also thought Wembley's piss-stained old terraces were not the ideal place for an eight-year-old but it's one of those things we've never really talked about, missing the cup final. It's always the cup final too, because Watford have only made it once.
* * *
Before Sunday's game at Wembley, I showed my friends the tatty strip of yellow ribbon and explained how it had been in my coat pocket for three weeks, how I nearly lost it and how it has taken on a significance beyond all logic or reason. They laughed but I prefer to think they were secretly wishing they had a piece of yellow ribbon too.
A bit later, I mentioned it to my Dad.
'I picked up a bit too,' he said.
* * *
We won. It was an extraordinary game. Watford were two-nil down with 11 minutes to play. Then the little magician Gerard Deulofeu flicked his wand-like right ankle to send the ball sailing into the far corner of the goal. At the time it felt like the cruellest of consolation goals – absolutely no consolation at all – because I must admit, I had given up hope at that point.
With seconds of injury time left there was a challenge on Deeney in the area and everything seemed to slow down. I could feel my heart beat in my ears. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, then there was a horrible pause as we waited for VAR – the video assistant referee – to ratify the decision. Then there was an even more agonising wait for Troy Deeney to put the ball on the spot and into the back of the net.
If I had been a neutral, I'd have been confident Watford would go on to win in extra time. Wolves had substituted two of their best players thinking the game was won, and were broken. But being so invested in it meant I was an anxious mess. Even when Deulofeu scored his second and Watford's third I squirmed every time Wolves broke into our half.
When the final whistle blew, I could feel the tears well up. A montage of memories flashed before me. In a matter of seconds, I was at Villa Park in 1984. I was at home watching the 1984 final on television. I was watching, laughing, as Simon clambered out of The Pond in 1999. I was with Graham listening to him talk about the golden days.
'They've done it!' I shouted several times. 'They've done it.'
When things had calmed down a bit, I said to my Dad, 'We're going this time.'
* * *
The FA Cup final falls on the second weekend of the Giro d'Italia, which I will be covering for The Cycling Podcast. The day before the match there's a memorial for Simon on what would have been his 51st birthday. I wouldn't miss either event for the world.
I had prevented myself from looking in detail at the logistics of returning home for the weekend lest I tempted fate but now I see that stage six finishes in San Giovanni Rotondo, quite a long way from any airport that can get me back to London. But I'll work it out somehow.
I've just got to remember to pack my fraying piece of yellow ribbon.

It has been a while since I have blogged about the pilot. Things happened in between and really the best people to talk or write about it (and I imagine that that's the last thing they want to do.) are the wonderful Sura and Lina. They both have been working so hard to make it all happen.
Over the last few months these two gorgeous women have been absolute supertroopers, even dealing with the last-minute panic of our camera man being unavailable. They got a terrific cast together, found places to film and lovely people to help us out. To everyone involved, I'd like to say thank you, thank you, thank you! I never got to write an entry about this because the reading of the script happened the night before I left; but I forgot to tell you all that I was so moved. No matter what happens, where this project ends up going, to me just 'round the table reading' felt like an accomplishment in itself.
Filming started today and I am very sorry I could not be there to support you guys. So just a little shout out to let you know that I have been thinking of you and I am sending you lots of love, hugs, golden stars, butterflies and fluffy baby bunnies.

Intersection is an exhibition about an encounter between poetry and visual art through the work of poet Marc Nair and visual artist Nicola Anthony. The work maps an architecture of memory at the junction of three diverse cities: London, Singapore and Yangon.
Nicola's artworks reflect and even embed Marc's poems and, in turn, the poems evolve in response to Nicola's artworks in a creative dialogue.
The exhibition, running from 11 Jan to 5 Mar, consists of installation works and drawings. An artist book, based on the exhibition, is also part of the project and will be launched on the exhibition's opening night. It is printed as a limited edition risograph, a technique resulting in exquisite pages with the feel of handmade screen prints.

There aren't many posts on my old blog that suit the topics I'm covering here. But the very last post I wrote there does. This post was originally posted there June 3, 2016.
I had a complicated relationship with my father at different phases of my life. I think most people do. But, in the past five years, it was much less complicated and he put a lot of energy into being there for me when I needed him. He wanted to make sure my life was in order. My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. If you don't know anything about it, the prognosis is not good. Typically, someone with pancreatic cancer lives 3-6 months. My dad took the whole thing quite seriously and was determined he was going to be the miracle case that beat it. Ed called him the Clint Eastwood of cancer fighters, because he was so tough. Rounds and rounds of treatment too numerous to count.
It was getting to a point where I think I started to believe he'd beat it too, because that was easier to believe, and also, he was so determined, and stubborn, and matter of fact about it.
When Ed and I got engaged October before last, we decided to plan our wedding for the following summer, because waiting until this summer seemed like it might be too far in the future for my dad to be there. I wasn't someone who grew up dreaming of a wedding or planning what it might look like, but boy am I glad I did some of the traditional things. I got my cynicism from my father, and always thought a lot of rituals were a waste of energy and money. When we planned our wedding, we left out a lot of the rituals, but we kept in the first dance, the father-daughter dance, and the mother-son dance.
Ed and I had a wedding dance song (the Ramone's version of "Baby I Love You"), and Ed had the Beatles picked for his mother-son dance. I figured my dad and I wouldn't do some sappy slow song, it didn't feel right for us, and wouldn't fit in with the other songs. Besides, my dad liked rock and roll and wasn't too much into ballads anyhow.
I wrote an email to my dad July 13 of last year, a day after my bachelorette:
Hi Dad
I don't really want to work today...I have such a happy hangover from the weekend.
What do you think of Travelling Willburys End of the Line as a father daughter dance song?
I was trying to think of a song by the Cars but they all seem either too fast or too slow!
I read some song lists online and some suggested a song by Jimmy Buffet, but I don't know it! Plus I figure you'd be better to pick a Jimmy Buffet song than me if we were to choose one.
Love you!
My dad replied in his usual concise manner:
Yep I'd thought of jimmy but I'm thinking more of johnny reed or allan Jackson or maybe Carl Perkins will give you a list by end of week Ok?
Later, we spoke on the phone. He suggested an Alan Jackson song he liked, and said, "I know you don't like country music, but I wish I'd picked this for your sister's wedding. Listen to the lyrics, and let me know."
I listened to the song and wasn't very thrilled. I'm not much of a country fan, and the song didn't remind me of my dad. Meanwhile, my mom messaged me and said it was important to him to pick it, and I should let him. So I came to terms to dancing to an Alan Jackson song at my wedding.
I'm not sure what happened, but later he emailed me to say he'd picked "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. It is a lovely song, but it surprised me. It seemed very sentimental, and not much like my Dad. I think my Dad sensed I wasn't thrilled by the country choice and wanted to pick something that would make me happy. Honestly I was still just annoyed he wouldn't let me choose Travelling Wilburys.
If you were at my wedding, you'll know the rest of this story.
We got up to do the dance, and my Dad walked up to the DJ, and said, "Forget the song we told you. Play some Bob Seger." The DJ was confused. Hadn't we requested "Wonderful World"? "No, I want Bob Seger." My Dad was so sure the DJ would have it (and also, I guess, that there's only one Bob Seger song he could possibly be referring to) that he returned to the middle of the dancefloor to wait for the music to start. I explained to the DJ he was making a change in the request, and wanted to hear "Old Time Rock and Roll". And with a stroke of luck (and because I'm sure most DJs have the song) DJ Law fired it up, and we did a fast dance.
"….today's music ain't got the same soul, I like that old time Rock and Roll"
It's funny because that song has always reminded me of my Dad. He used to blast it on his stereo in the living room and we'd dance together. He'd say "I love this song, it's real rock n' roll."
Sentimentality was never my Dad's strong suit but he was passionate about music and making sure his kids were too. Some of my earliest memories were being sat down in a big rocking chair in the living room, with a huge set of headphones placed on my head and being played records. He got into classical for a while. He loved Pachelbel's Canon. He had weird selections, like Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. He loved the Beatles, the Eurythmics, Paul Revere and the Raiders. Paul Simon's Graceland. Huey Lewis' Sports. Everything by The Cars.
He played mixed tapes in the car of his favourite songs. He got into CD's for a while, but in the last few years he loved to go to Goodwill and started collecting vinyl again. He added some great records recently; Pat Benetar, John Lee Hooker, Bruce Springsteen. In recent years I've bought him lots of Jimmy Buffet records.
Yesterday morning I got the news my dad had passed on the phone. Five years of preparing but you can't really be prepared for news like that. Ed and I left and on the drive, The Travelling Wilburys' "End of the Line" came on the radio. I'd forgotten I'd suggested it as a wedding song but the whole series of conversations came flooding back. It's been stuck in my head ever since.
I'm not sure why he didn't let me pick it for the dance, because he loved that song too. I'm happy he went with his gut at the wedding and chose Bob Seger, because I'd rather think of my Dad when I hear feel-good rock n' roll songs than sentimental slow songs. It just suits who he was better.
Last weekend we got to have a good chat about all of the ways my life is in order now. I told him more than he needed to know about my finances and my plans for my life, because I know he worried and I know it would put his mind at ease to know I have things sorted out.
He was so stubborn that he beat his cancer prognosis by five years. He not only made it to my wedding, but he stole the show--with both his speech (which brought down the house with his signature sarcasm) and his dance moves.
Miss you dad, I'll play some rock and roll for you today.

Toobworld Central asserts that Agent 99's real name is Mandy Stephenson (from an episode of 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.') and that she used the alias of Lauren Holden while she was a United States senator and having a once-a-year fling with a former Red Sox player (as seen in an episode of 'Cheers').
Just an O'Bservation - It was nice that 99 was empowered with the role of senator when the series was revived, but it didn't make any sense. Nobody gets elected to such a major office without being thoroughly vetted by the press and by their opponents. Everything in her past would have come out - her career as a spy, her affair with Sam Malone.
What they should have done was made her a National Security Advisor instead.

Knowing a bit more about our process of creating your custom tumblers can allow you to feel confident that you will receive quality stainless steel tumblers that meet your needs and standards. We will provide you with etched mugs that you and everyone else will love! So, let's take a closer look at our process and how to choose the right design for your custom tumblers.
Before you get started, you must think about who these tumblers are for. While there is nothing wrong with getting a personalized stainless steel mug for yourself, we started this company to provide awesome, customized gifts for wedding parties, but our business took off and we quickly started supplying these custom tumblers at businesses, family reunions, vacation, and many more events. Choosing who you want to get these for should be the simple part! Whether you are part of a club, on a sports team, or have a group of friends that have been together for years, these could make the perfect gift. Once you have decided, you can get started on the process of creating your custom tumbler.
Step 1: Choose Your Tumbler
After you decide that a tumbler will make the perfect customizable gift for you, your friends, and your family, it is time to start planning your tumbler. At Itching For Etching, we offer three different brands that come in three different sizes. While all of the brands we carry provide popular and high-quality products, we know that having an option is important because people love certain brands! The three tumbler brands that we carry are YETI, RTIC, and Ozark Trail.
Not sure what the difference is between these three brands and their stainless steel travel mugs? We will break it down for you:
Ozark Trail
|18/8 stainless steel
|18/8 stainless steel
|18/8 stainless steel
|Double-wall vacuum insulation
|Double-wall vacuum insulated
|Double-wall vacuum-sealed
|Magnetic lid for easy open and close
|Airtight seal and splash proof lid
|Shatter-proof lid
As you can tell, all of these tumbler brands are high-quality and built to last, choosing the brand may come down to a small factor like price, style, or simply the brand name. Whichever stainless steel mug you do choose, you will still receive a high quality product that is personalized just for you! Now for the size.
At Itching For Etching, we offer three sizes for each brand. You can choose from a 12 ounce, 20 ounce, or 30 ounce tumbler.
The 12 Ounce Colster
The 12 ounce colster is a slightly different product than the 20 and 30 ounce tumblers. The colster is designed to hold a 12 ounce can or bottle and keep it ice cold for hours. This is a great product to bring camping, to barbecues, on the lake, or anywhere else that you may find yourself enjoying a cold beverage. The lid of this colster unscrews and fits over a bottle or can to screw it securely into place.
Benefits of the 12 ounce colster:
- Safely and securely holds cans and bottles
- Keeps beverages cold
- Perfect for outdoor adventures
If you find yourself enjoying canned or bottled drinks regularly, this may be the best choice for you.
The 20 Ounce Tumbler
The 20 ounce tumbler is different from the colster for one main reason. Instead of having the ability to hold cans and bottles, this tumbler can hold any beverage and keep hot drinks hot and cold drink ice cold. This is a great choice for those who want to use this personalized mug on a daily basis. It can be used for coffee on the morning commute, for water throughout the day, or for a cold drink during a weekend barbecue. This is not limited to cans and bottles.
Benefits of the 20 ounce tumbler:
- Keeps cold drinks cold
- Keeps hot drinks hot
- Can be used for any drink
If you want an Itching For Etching product that can do more than keep your canned and bottled beverage cold, this is the perfect choice!
The 30 Ounce Tumbler
Like the 20 ounce tumbler, this stainless steel mug can hold a variety of beverage options while keeping them the temperature you desire. This 30 ounce tumbler is just the 20 ounce mug's big brother. It can hold more of the morning commute coffee on the days you need an extra boost, it can keep you hydrated by holding more water, and help you relax by providing you with more of the barbecue beverage.
Benefits of the 30 ounce tumbler:
- Holds more of your favorite beverages
- Keeps hot drinks hot
- Keeps cold drinks cold
If you are looking for a mightier tumbler that can hold more of your favorite beverages, the 30 ounce stainless steel mug is the best option for you!
When choosing which size you want, you have to consider a few things — the reason you are getting this personalized tumblers, as well as when and how they will be used most often. This should help you choose the right size for your custom mugs!
Step 2: Place Your Order
Once you have decided your tumbler's brand and size, it is time to make the order. If you are getting a personalized tumbler for yourself, all you have to do is continue to check out! If you are getting for a group of people, like your siblings, extended family, old high school friends, bowling team, your book club, or any other group of people you want to share these awesome tumblers with, you will want to select the number of tumblers you will need!
Step 3: Choose Your Design
Choosing your design is the fun part! Get creative, have fun, and make your design personal to you or your group. If you are getting these tumblers for your knitting club, create a design that includes knitting needles, yarn, or something else that represents your group. The fun part about the design is that it is custom and personal to you.
To plan the custom etching on your tumblers, you will want to answer a few questions:
- What are these tumblers for?
- Who will be using these tumblers?
- Does your group already have a logo or design to represent them?
- Do you want a one- or two-sided design?
- Do you need help with your design?
Let's start with the last question. If you need help with your design, contact Itching For Etching now. We have designers ready to help you create a unique design that will be perfect for you or your club.
Think about your design carefully. If you are getting these custom etched tumblers for a group of people, think about those who will be receiving them and how they will feel about the design. Some designs may not be appropriate for all parties, some may be interpreted differently, but others may be perfect. Think about who will be receiving these tumblers before deciding on a design.
You can also choose to have your custom tumblers to be etched on one-side or two-sides. One-sided designs are good for most of your groups, clubs, and friend groups, but two-sided designs could be good for other reasons. If you are getting these tumblers to give to your extended family during the 10th annual family reunion, having a two-sided design could allow you to put names on one side and a family crest on the other. This will help everyone keep track of their own tumbler while having something that represents the entire family!
When you have a design selected, you will send it to us! We prefer specific file types including:
- PDF.ai
However, we accept all different file types, including the popular types like PNG, JPG, TIF, and .jpeg. Once you send us your design file, you will make a digital example of your etched mugs and allow you to approve the look before we get to work. We want to make sure you are 100 percent satisfied with what you see and what we can provide.
Once you approve the design, we will get to work. At Itching For Etching, we offer a quick turnover time, meaning you will not have to wait a long time to receive your custom etched mugs. They will be shipped in five to seven days, allowing you to get them just in time for your next reunion, club meeting, friend trip, or for your own use!
Step 4: Enjoy your Custom Tumbler
The final step is to enjoy your stainless steel mug. Having customized products is a great way to bring a group together, promote your brand, or make your family have a closer bond. At Itching For Etching, we put a ton of effort into our custom tumblers to ensure you are getting the best products possible. We want you to be satisfied with the results and use this custom tumbler on a daily basis!
Whether you order a bunch for the people in your family, the friends you spend weekends camping with, or the group you read works of literature with, we are sure they will love these custom tumblers as well. Custom products have a way of making people feel a sense of belonging and helps to build stronger bonds with other people.

Tristan Omand was willing to do anything to record a new album — including selling some of his recording gear in order to finance the project. In fact, he'd gathered up the gear and was ready to pawn it when Chris Hislop called.
Hislop, who runs the production company Bright & Lyon, made Omand a surprising offer: He would use the money brought in at previous Bright & Lyon shows to fund Omand's new album.
"It was an affirmation for me," Omand said. "Now, I'm not hawking my (equipment) trying to get (albums) out. It's not cheap to press vinyl and I don't make a lot of money. To have someone put their faith in you, it shows that I'm not fucking around. I'm going somewhere."
Omand's latest album, "The Lesser Known Tristan Omand," was released earlier this month. He'll celebrate with an official album release show on Saturday, April 16, at The Stone Church in Newmarket.
Hislop has been a massive supporter of Omand's for the past five years, so when he heard the musician was scraping together the finances to record again, Hislop wanted to help. Omand used the money to return to Rocking Horse Studio in Pittsfield to record with producer Brian Coombes.
"I remember it being a 12-second conversation," said Hislop. "Actions like that generally need lots of discussion, but we knew it was an ideal fit and the perfect thing to do."
Omand blends blues, Americana, folk, and country. His music recalls the intimate, working-class aesthetic of the folk artists of the '50s and '60s. His intricate, finger-picked melodies and chord progressions echo the emotional folk and outlaw country of idols Hank Williams Sr. and Johnny Cash.
But Omand's lyrics set him apart. His penchant for storytelling and creating memorable characters and places echo Newmarket's own Bill Morrissey, and even Bob Dylan and Tom Waits. But with "The Lesser Known," Omand turns his focus inward; it's his most autobiographical album to date.
"The album encompasses a little bit of each album I've done, which means adding a little more of my personal experience into it too," he said. "A certain amount of it was planned, to write more introspective songs. I just felt like it was a good time to do it, and that's how it came out."
The eight original songs on "The Lesser Known" feature Omand's signature literary, broken-hearted narratives and dry-to-the-bone humor sung with the warm croon of his country drawl.
In "A Letter Home," Omand details his life as a working-class folk musician, while in "Old Straight Six," a song steeped in metaphors, he sings, "Well, you're bending my ear / you're twisting my arm / you're taking the long way around the barn," a phrase he learned from his grandfather.
Other songs put Omand's literary chops on display. On "30 Days of Darkness," Omand builds a narrative around life in biblical times.
"That was the only song I wrote where I thought of the riff and wrote from there," said Omand. "There's always one song on each album that started with the music, and the rest is the opposite."
Like his 2014 release, "Eleven Dark Horses," also recorded at Rocking Horse, Omand brought in a few musicians to help, including Delanie Pickering, Will Kindler, Jay Psaros, and Coombes himself. But because of the album's autobiographical nature, Omand wanted to keep the presence of the guest artists light.
Hislop thinks Omand's music can stand on its own.
"Tristan Omand, as 'lesser known' as he may be, is the real fucking deal," Hislop said. "He's a songwriter that is still very much growing, but at this particular time, he makes those that have been writing for far longer than him blush. … The kid is an absolute animal."
The singer-songwriter said he prided himself on his ability to cut out big production and trusted Coombes to capture his sound as organically as possible. Crediting his time in the early 2000s recording with his previous punk-rock band, The Asthmatics, Omand felt he had an advantage when it came to cutting songs in just a few takes.
"There's something so refreshing about cutting (takes) live," he said. In fact, the album release show will be recorded for a possible live album. "I don't go too heavy on the production because I have to be able to perform it live and do it justice."
Omand said he plays more than 100 shows a year, and this year will be no different. He's planning on a tour this summer, and if you're traveling, you might see him on the road. He'll be the guy going from gig to gig alone in his pick-up truck, with nothing but his guitar, some clothes, and a lot of ambition.
"I haven't given up," Omand said. "I talk to people who I knew 10 years ago and they're like, 'Oh, I'm glad you're still playing.' And I say, 'Yeah — what else would I be doing?'"
Tristan Omand performs Saturday, April 16 at 6 p.m. at The Stone Church, 5 Granite St., Newmarket, with guests Dan Blakeslee and The Whetherman. $12 advance, $15 at the door, tickets at brightandlyon.com.
