- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and filgrastim followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Leukemia |
Drug: busulfan Drug: cyclophosphamide Drug: filgrastim Drug: recombinant interferon alfa Procedure: in vitro-treated peripheral blood stem cell transplantation Procedure: peripheral blood stem cell transplantation Procedure: radiation therapy |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Autologous Transplantation for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Using Retrovirally Marked Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cells Obtained After In Vivo Cyclophosphamide/G-CSF Priming |
Study Start Date: | August 2000 |
Primary Completion Date: | September 2004 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
- Assess clinical outcomes, survival, and morbidity of transplantation therapy in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia when treated with high dose chemotherapy and filgrastim (G-CSF) followed by autologous retrovirally transduced peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation.
- Determine whether this priming treatment can increase the fraction of benign Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) negative hematopoietic progenitors in PBSC and reduce the incidence of persistent or recurrent leukemia after autologous transplantation with mobilized PBSC in these patients.
- Assess whether retroviral transduction of mobilized PBSC progenitors determines the contribution of malignant Ph positive progenitors contaminating the graft to relapse after transplantation in these patients.
- Determine whether this priming treatment can expand the benign progenitor population in the PBSC collections from these patients.
OUTLINE: In the priming phase, patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on day 1 and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SQ) daily beginning on day 4 and continuing until the completion of leukapheresis. Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are harvested 4-7 times between days 10 and 21 beginning when blood counts recover (CD34+ cells are selected from 2 of these PBSC collections and transduced with the LN NEO virus prior to cryopreservation).
In the transplant phase, patients who have not received prior radiotherapy receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours daily on days -7 and -6 and total body irradiation on days -4 through -1. Autologous PBSC and LN NEO transduced CD34+ cells are reinfused on day 0. Patients also receive G-CSF IV daily beginning on day 0 and continuing until blood counts recover.
Patients who have received prior radiotherapy receive oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -10 through -7 and cyclophosphamide IV daily on days -6 through -3. Autologous PBSC and LN NEO transduced CD34+ cells are reinfused on day 0. Patients also receive G-CSF IV daily beginning on day 0 and continuing until blood counts recover.
All patients then receive interferon alfa SQ daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed at 3 weeks; at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months; and then annually thereafter.

Jesse Robbins just unveiled the wearable communication device he's been building inside a San Francisco startup called OnBeep.
It's a $99, hand-free contraption that clips onto your shirt and wirelessly connects with your cellphone, so that you can instantly communicate with colleagues. He calls it Onyx, and you can think of it as a high-tech walkie-talkie.
Robbins, OnBeep's founder and CEO, says the device could help a family planning a surprise birthday party or a group of friends on a cross-country road trip, but mainly, he sees it being used by business teams—event planners, construction workers, or restaurant staff. Businesses won't necessarily mandate the use of the device, he says, but workers will start using it on their own. That's right: he sees Onyx as another step in the "bring your own device" trend—aka BYOD.
"BYOD was part of a conscious design strategy," Robbins says. "What we are doing is only possible because people already have their own smartphones which they are using for work and play." In other words, Onyx will piggyback on all those smartphones, via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. You might call it BYOW—"bring your own wearable."
It's an argument worth listening to. Research studies indicate the BYOD trend is quite real. A recent study from IDG shows that 82 percent of organizations have made changes due to the proliferation of personal devices used for work purposes, and these personal devices indeed provide an onramp to wearables like Onyx.
The question is whether people really want such wearables. It's the same question that hangs over the future of the Apple Watch. It's more of a consumer device, but it too seeks to piggyback on your smartphone.
Others have argued that the workplace is the most natural fit for wearable tech. In the future, the pundits say, a cable technician might sport a live-streaming, head-mounted camera that helps him consult with other technicians and figure what's wrong with your connection, or nurses could wear smart glasses to see veins beneath the skin of patients. But this sort of thing doesn't seem like a BYOD trend. Robbins thinks there's a market for work BYOD wearables that rely on smartphones, and that's another matter.
Shane Walker, an analyst at research firm IHS technology, thinks there's something to be said for this approach. "At the simplest level, basing anyone's business model on the installed based for smartphones is viable," he says, pointing to research that predicts the number of smartphones will triple to 5.6 billion by 2019. But he also wonders whether the Onyx can give people something they can't get from their phone.
Walker says that even if people want them, businesses may push back against such devices. Sure, many companies now allow BYOD, and OnBeep itself pledges to uphold the highest standards of security, but some wearables may require special approval—for health as well as security reasons. In the medical industry, Walker says, wearables would need FDA or CE mark approvals if they impact diagnostics or patient care in any way. And in emergency environments, where reliability is of utmost importance, workers can't really use wearables that may run out of juice if their smartphone dies.
In any event, Onyx will provide a nice test case. The BYOD wearable is here. Now, we'll see what it can do.

Hey folks, so I'm trying to make some probes for ISH, and I'm using the Roche DIG Labeling Kit. I cloned my probe into a TOPO vector, linearized to leave a 5' overhang, and then did the T7 rxn as according to the kit directions. I did the optional DNase treatment as well. I then used the Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit to clean up the RNA, and on the nanodrop I had a conc. of 335ng/ul (about 10ug total), and a ratio of 2.17. To make sure I ran 1ul out on a gel, and I know it's not ideal but I just ran a 1% TBE agarose gel w/ EtBr in it and I didn't heat my samples before loading the gel. I know the RNA doesn't run the same as my DNA ladder should, but I see two distinct bands in the RNA lanes. I'm wondering why there would be two bands after the in vitro transcription. Do they maybe correspond to denatured RNA and RNA w/ 2ndary structures? Thanks for any help.

text: New at BOP:New Trivia QuestionFriday Box Office AnalysisWeekend ForecastGilmore GilrsReview: Beauty and the BeastReview: Beauty and the BeastSurvivor Recap Pixar ShortsAll site updatesShare & Save Tweet Print this column After a strong January fueled by horror films, the box office goes with what it knows and this time throws out some zombies. But this time, they've got heart!Warm Bodies tells the story of R (Nicholas Hoult, X-Men: First Class), a not-so-mindless zombie who wanders about with just his thoughts (conveyed via extensive voiceover) until he meets the human Julie (Teresa Palmer). Instantly smitten, R decides not to bite her and instead protects her from the other zombies, and finds himself beginning to regain his humanity, to the joy of Julie and to the dismay of Julie's dad (John Malkovich), the leader of the human survivors. They soon find themselves caught in the middle of a human/zombie/other, more evil zombie war. It's the first zombie love story since Shawn of the Dead.This is considerably higher concept than what last month's big openers Texas Chainsaw 3D and Mama brought to the table and it's not really a horror movie in the vein of those; it's more of an oddball teen romantic comedy attempting to counterprogram the Super Bowl. Warm Bodies is an adaptation of a well-received 2011 novel and is directed by Jonathan Levine (50/50). It's getting above average if not stellar reviews, and there's certainly a clever bit or two in the advertising. The idea of a self-aware zombie works for me, but your mileage may vary.If you haven't noticed, zombies are a thing (see: The Walking Dead's popularity) and are going to continue to be a thing this year (see: a World War Z commercial during the Super Bowl) so you should just get used to it now. Hey, it's better than sparkly vampires. Opening in just over 3,000 theaters, Warm Bodies will win this weekend with a total of about $19 million.Look, just because The Expendables and The Expendables 2 made a lot of money doesn't mean all you old action stars are going to have careers again, okay? Ahnold bombed a couple of weeks ago with The Last Stand and now Sylvester Stallone is back with Bullet to the Head.

An American linguistics student traveling in northern Iraq didn't go on an ill-fated hiking trip because he had a cold -- a twist of fate that prevented him from mistakenly wandering into Iran where his three friends were reportedly detained.
The Swiss Embassy in Tehran was working Sunday to learn more about the Americans' fate through its contacts with the Iranian Foreign Ministry, spokeswoman Nadine Olivieri said. Switzerland represents U.S. interests in Iran.
Shon Meckfessel sat out the hike because he had a cold, his grandmother, Irene Meckfessel, told The Associated Press from her home in Carmichael, Calif. He called her Saturday from the American Embassy in Baghdad, she said.
Irene Meckfessel told Fox 40 in Sacramento that her grandson is, "nice and safe."
"He said they didn't go over the border. This is one of those things where... and they also in the article, the New York Times, that they found a bottle of whiskey... He said no, there wasn't any whiskey there. If there was, he wouldn't have lied to me," she told the TV station.
They also identified Meckfessel as the base guitarist for the Sacramento rock band Cake.
The original group of four had traveled to Turkey, then entered Iraq on Tuesday and traveled to Sulaimaniyah, according to the Kurdish regional government. On Thursday, Meckfessel stayed behind while the other three took a taxi to the resort town of Ahmed Awaa, it added.
Among those in the group is Shane Bauer who graduated from U.C. Berkeley in 2007 with a degree in Arabic and Peace and Conflict Study.
The regional government's statement said the three got lost during an excursion and were detained by Iranian authorities at the border.
The area where the three disappeared is a popular hiking destination known for a picturesque waterfall and rocky scenery as well as a thick growth of fruit and nut trees.
Camping equipment and two backpacks apparently belonging to the Americans were found in the area and it seemed they were hiking above the waterfall when they accidentally crossed the border, a Kurdish security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information.

Shortly before their capture, the three contacted a fourth member -- Meckfessel -- to say they had entered Iran by mistake and were surrounded by troops, the official said.
Iran's state TV said the Americans were arrested after they did not heed warnings from Iranian border guards. It cited a "well-informed source" in the Interior Ministry.
One of the missing Americans has been identified by Kurdish authorities as Joshua Fattal. His mother, Laura Fattal of Elkins Park, Pa., issued a brief statement Sunday.
"My husband and I are only concerned about Josh" and the two others, she said.
Meckfessel and another of the missing hikers were both studying Arabic, said Irene Meckfessel, who raised her grandson. Shon Meckfessel had most recently studied at the University of Washington in Seattle.
"He's very much interested in people and languages and he's working on a Ph.D. in linguistics," she said.
In Iran, Swiss diplomats have asked for consular access to the Americans if their presence in Iran is confirmed, Olivieri told the AP. Switzerland has represented U.S. interests in Iran since American diplomats were taken hostage at the embassy in Tehran 30 years ago.
"Our embassy in Tehran is in contact with the Iranian Foreign Ministry and is trying to get a confirmation of the situation," she said.
The State Department, which requested the help, knows about Switzerland's efforts, said spokesman Robert Wood in Washington.

For the second time in as many years, immigration has fizzled as a wedge issue at the polls. In 2006, Republicans hoped to use anger over illegal immigration to maintain control of Congress, but failed miserably, losing races even in states like Arizona and Colorado that have experienced large influxes of illegal aliens.

All Good Gifts -- a song for Thanksgiving
2 comments:
I remember that era...and the play. I was lucky enough to be able to participate and be in it twice (back in the 70's). That song if very appropriate for Thanksgiving. I hope you and your family have a Blessed and Beautiful Thanksgiving.

I agree. I'm not a Thanksgiving Scrooge. David Mc
We thank thee then, O Father, for all things bright and good,
The seedtime and the harvest, our life our health our food,
No gifts have we to offer for all thy love imparts
But that which thou desirest, our humble thankful hearts! - 1:31 PM

Otto of Freising
Otto of Freising (Otto Frisingensis) (c. 1114 – 22 September 1158) was a German churchman and chronicler. He was Otto I Bishop of Freising as from 1138.
Otto was born in Klosterneuburg as the fifth son of Leopold III, margrave of Austria, by his wife Agnes, daughter of the emperor Henry IV. By her first husband, Frederick I of Hohenstaufen, duke of Swabia, Agnes was the mother of the German king Conrad III and grandmother of the emperor Frederick I. Otto's sister, Judith or Ita, was married to Marquess William V of Montferrat. Otto was thus related to the most powerful families in Germany and northern Italy.
The records of his life are scanty and the dates somewhat uncertain. He studied in Paris, where he took an especial interest in philosophy. He is said to have been one of the first to introduce the philosophy of Aristotle into Germany, and served as provost of a new foundation in Austria.
Having entered the Cistercian order, Otto convinced his father to found Heiligenkreuz Abbey in 1133, thus bringing literacy and sophisticated agriculture (including wine making) to the region that would become Vienna. He became abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Morimond in Burgundy about 1136, and soon afterwards was elected bishop of Freising. This diocese, and indeed the whole of Bavaria, was then disturbed by the feud between the Welfs and the Hohenstaufen, and the church was in a deplorable condition; but a great improvement was brought about by the new bishop in both ecclesiastical and secular matters.
In 1147 Otto took part in the disastrous Second Crusade. The section of the crusading army led by the bishop was decimated, but Otto reached Jerusalem and returned to Bavaria in 1148 or 1149. He enjoyed the favour of Conrad's successor Frederick I, was probably instrumental in settling the dispute over the duchy of Bavaria in 1156, and was present at the famous diet of Besançon in 1157. Still retaining the habit of a Cistercian monk, he died at Morimond on 22 September 1158. In 1857 a statue of the bishop was erected at Freising.
Otto is most remembered for two important historical works.
Chronica de duabus civitatibus[edit]
The first of these is his Chronica sive Historia de duabus civitatibus (Chronicle or history of the two cities), a historical and philosophical work in eight books, which follows to some extent the lines laid down by Augustine and Orosius. Written during the time of the civil war in Germany (1143–1145), it contrasts Jerusalem and Babel, the heavenly and the earthly kingdoms, and also contains much valuable information about the history of his own time. The chronicle, which was held in very high regard by contemporaries, covers the years up until 1146, and from this date until 1209 it was continued by Otto, abbot of St Blasius (d. 1223). In the Chronica, Otto reports a meeting he had with Bishop Hugh of Jabala, who told him of a Nestorian Christian king in the east named Prester John. It was hoped this monarch would bring relief to the crusader states. This is the first documented mention of Prester John.
Gesta Friderici Imperatoris[edit]
Better known is Otto's Gesta Friderici imperatoris (Deeds of Emperor Frederick), written at the request of Frederick I and prefaced by a letter from the emperor to the author. The Gesta comprises four books, the first two of which were written by Otto and the remaining two, or parts of them, by his pupil Ragewin or Rahewin. It has been argued that the third book and the early part of the fourth were also the work of Otto. Beginning with the quarrel between Pope Gregory VII and the emperor Henry IV, the first book takes the history down to the death of Conrad III in 1152. It is not confined to German affairs, as the author digresses to tell of the preaching of Bernard of Clairvaux, of his zeal against the heretics, and of the condemnation of Pierre Abélard; he also discourses on philosophy and theology. The second book opens with the election of Frederick I in 1152 and deals with the history of the first five years of his reign, especially in Italy, in some detail. From this point (1156) the work is continued by Ragewin. Otto's Latin is excellent, and in spite of a slight partiality for the Hohenstaufen, and some minor inaccuracies, the Gesta has been rightly described as a "model of historical composition."

Actually Achsha is pronounced Okkh-sha, not Asha.Achsha is really just an alternative spelling of Achsah.
Achsah is a Hebrew expression meaning anklet.

Tuned In: Creators plan more chemistry for NBC's 'Ed' Wednesday, October 10, 2001 By Rob Owen, Post-Gazette TV Editor
PASADENA, Calif. -- Will they or won't they? That's the question inherent in the relationship between Ed (Tom Cavanagh) and Carol (Julie Bowen) on NBC's genial comedy-drama "Ed," which returns for its second season at 8 tonight.
Should they become a couple? Or will that ruin the romantic tension that's woven through the show?
When last seen in the May season finale, Ed and Carol were on the verge of intimacy when -- ding-dong -- that wicked witch Bonnie Hane (guest star Rena Sofer) showed up at Ed's door, ready to rekindle their short-lived romance.
Cavanagh and Bowen have their own feelings on the budding love between their characters. Bowen wants to see the characters together, and she's confident creators Rob Burnett and Jon Beckerman can find a way to make that work. Cavanagh thinks "Ed" has enough other elements to keep viewers coming back even if what they want to see -- Ed and Carol as a couple -- doesn't happen anytime soon.
"Shows that rely on a will-they/won't-they scenario get themselves in trouble if there's nothing else going on," Cavanagh said at the TV critics press tour in July. "What has worked well for us is Rob and Jon have created this town, Stuckeyville, that hopefully people want to come visit. And they don't want to come visit just to see what happens with Jules and I."
Creator Burnett joked that Ed and Carol will remain apart until the college education of his children is paid for. Turning more serious, he said the relationship between Joel and Maggie on "Northern Exposure" or Sam and Diane on "Cheers" was different from Ed and Carol's in a specific way.
"Those shows were all based on the two lead characters being oil and water," Burnett said. "It's all, oh, my God, she's from Alaska and he's from New York. They hate each other. We have a very different dynamic. For us, it's a much more realistic dynamic of two people that are probably the right people [for each other], but for one reason or another, it's always the wrong time."
And because of the chemistry between Cavanagh and Bowen, producers may be able to delay the inevitable pairing for a long time to come.
"The trick in doing a show like this is to expend the right amount of capital in the right amount of time," said Beckerman, a native of Squirrel Hill. "You don't want to burn all the stuff you can do between the characters or else you'll have nothing to do in the future."
Beckerman said he and Burnett are trying to do a better job planning this season's episodes. "Last year we kind of had to discover the show, and we were kind of flying by the seat of our pants and doing all the writing ourselves."
This season, additional writers will contribute scripts with an eye toward balancing arc-type continuing stories with stand-alone stories.
"Just the experience of doing this for a year, whereas we had never done it previously, has taught us a little bit about how to get the scripts written," Beckerman said.
That planning should also help the writers serve the show's myriad characters, including Carol's friend Molly (Lesley Boone), who didn't have much to do last year. This year she'll get a love interest, and though it probably won't be Ed, whom she clearly has a crush on, there's a contingent of fans who would like to see that coupling.
"Molly and Ed is something we might do down the line," Beckerman said. "I'm not saying this season and I'm not even saying next season, if we're lucky enough to have one, but I would certainly not be surprised to see that crop up again."
Last year, high school student Warren (Justin Long) became a large part of the stories, which Beckerman said was an unexpected turn.
"The nice thing we discovered as the season went on is that in addition to being hilarious, the guy can actually act and carry off story lines and emotional scenes," Beckerman said. "And because in a way Rob and I are forever mentally kind of stuck as high school sophomores, this was a nice thing for us, to be able to do stories in a school in addition to all the adult character story lines we're doing."
The Stuckeyville high school gets a new principal this year (played by John Slattery), who butts heads with Carol, makes her think and may eventually become a love interest.
Beckerman also plans to slip in more Pittsburgh references this season. Tonight's show includes mention of a "Bloomfield Avenue," but his favorite last season was a reference to a gas station "at the corner of Forbes and Murray."
"That's where I used to fill up," Beckerman said of the gas station that was torn down in the past year. "I enjoyed putting that in."
Last season, Beckerman also sneaked in the names of former teachers ("Mrs. Gennaccaro" and "Dr. Sutula") and classmates from Shady Side Academy. In the penultimate episode, Warren tried to ask a girl to prom and, before she could say whom she was going with, Warren rattled off a list of possibilities. They were all names of guys who attended Shady Side at the same time as Beckerman, a 1987 graduate.
"They were all the cool guys. The guys I was always like, damn, I'm never going to have anywhere near the life these guys have. They were just so on top of the world," Beckerman said. "I don't even know if they see the show and know it's them. It's just fun being able to throw stuff in there that only 50 people in the world will understand."
In addition to dialogue that's a shout out to Pittsburgh, Beckerman is hoping to get his parents, who live in Squirrel Hill, onto the show again as extras.
"Rob's dad has appeared twice very prominently as a delivery guy, so I've got to get my folks in there," Beckerman said. "Although the fact Ed's parents are named after them is pretty good."
In addition to garnering decent ratings and critical praise last season, "Ed" found a dedicated contingent of fans in cyberspace who create Web sites devoted to the series and its characters (www.virtualstuckeyville.com is particularly fetishistic in its desire to be complete and up-to-date). Beckerman was amazed.
"It is very flattering and very entertaining to read what people post there," he said. "How can you resist knowing straight from the mouth of the viewer what they think of what you're doing? As in any situation, some of those people are idiots, some of them are very smart. Sometimes you get your feelings hurt; other times it makes you pretty proud."

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island rules Canadian golf with the nation's best public courses old and new. Yesterday in Part 1 I examined its classic Highland Links, built in 1939 by famed architect Stanley Thompson, a course that has often been rated the best public layout in Canada. Today I look at the newest addition to the island's golf scene, a course that opened less than a month ago (June 29), and 93 years later, is likely to knock Highland Links off its perch. Anyway you slice it, Cape Breton is now home to two world-class golf courses - with a third on the way.
In 1999, golf history changed forever with the opening of Bandon Dunes on a remote stretch of the Oregon coast. In what was a tremendously overbuilt market with a nationwide glut of courses, its owner, Mike Keiser, co-founder of greeting card giant Recycled Paper Greetings, defied conventional golf industry wisdom. Keiser firmly believed that if you created a great enough golf course, neither competition nor location would hurt it, a Field of Dreams "build it and they will come" approach. Keiser did not do this impulsively, but rather studied the history of the game and design, visiting the great links courses of the British Isles, then decided what he wanted and then spent additional years searching for the perfect site to execute his vision. When he found towering sand dunes along the Oregon coast, the fact that it was very difficult to get to did not stop him, and he built Bandon Dunes. The closest thing in North America to the great links courses of Scotland and Ireland, it proved immensely successful, a homerun that shifted the industry paradigm, leading others to build fantastic courses in far flung corners of the world. This in turn cultivated a new breed of golf traveler, those who prided themselves on going to great lengths to cherry pick these superb courses in offbeat spots. Billionaire Tiger Fund founder Julian Robertson picked up Keiser's lead and built Kauri Cliffs in an equally remote spot in northern New Zealand, while Keiser continued his own strategy, both expanding Bandon Dunes, which now has four-plus courses, and partnering with local developers in other linksland locales from Tasmania to right here on Cape Breton Island, where a Canadian golf industry veteran and architecture buff named Ben Cowan-Dewar located a prime site for the first traditional links course in Canada. After partnering with Keiser, Cowan-Dewar opened his dream, Cabot Links.
The discussion of Cabot Links and its immense appeal is inseparable from links courses themselves, so it is worth noting that while many pundits will claim to have the answer, there is no precise definition of "links." This is the original form of golf course design, the most traditional style dating to the very origins of the game, seen in all of the original courses like St. Andrews and Prestwick. Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland teem with links courses built on sandy, oceanfront land exposed to the salt and wind that had little agricultural value and was thus was available for golf while richer slightly inland terrain was given over to raising sheep and other agricultural pursuits. Avoiding codification, "links" is a set of physical characteristics and styles of playing and design, and there are inland courses that are far more links-like than some built on what would be considered "true" linksland on the edge of the sea. Likewise, even among courses that are indisputably links, from the Old Course at St. Andrews to Turnberry, these vary enormously, some overlooking the crashing surf, some with no sea views at all, some pancake flat, some full of towering sand dunes. The fact is that the vast majority of courses calling themselves links are not, and authentic links constitute less than 1% of all courses on earth, yet this small pool includes nearly half of the best courses in existence.
Whatever definition of links golf you adhere to, there is no doubt that Cabot Links qualifies, and this is the crux of the matter: despite the widespread use of the word "links" in the names of courses like California's Pebble Beach Golf Links, National Golf Links on Long Island, and even Highland Links right here on Cape Breton Island, these are not links courses. Amazingly there was not a single course on the entire East Coast of North America done in the traditional style of Scottish and Irish oceanfront links until about three weeks ago when Cabot Links opened. That makes it a game changer - and to the vast majority of Americans, far closer than the British Isles.
What is so linksy about the course? Everything. It occupies a sandy coastal site that drains exceptionally well, resulting in firm, fast fairways on which the balls run. The site is almost completely treeless, allowing it to be scoured by wind, its fairways are covered in tight knit grass that is far from cushy and promotes the running links style of play, lined with knee high rough and adorned with ragged bunkers and deep pot bunkers, and in almost all cases, approaches to greens are unobstructed, promoting running shots. Greens are collarless and almost indistinguishable from the surrounding fairways, firm and hard to hold with lofted shots, and while the front side is mostly flattish and open, on the back nine the landscape becomes increasingly dunesy, reminiscent of Northern Ireland. It is walking-only, and caddies are available.
As soon as you turn into the driveway, the links terrain - and vast ocean - sprawl immediately before you. While many links courses in Europe have surprisingly little ocean scenery considering they are on the coast, that is not the case here, and Cabot wastes little time before reaching the ocean on the second hole, a long par-5 with its green perched at the edge of the sea. While the course is immediately attractive, it really hits its stride of greatness on the back. Twelve and thirteen are exceptional holes right on the ocean, first a strong par-3 playing to the edge of land, followed by a tough par-4 with a carry over the ocean, a severe dogleg left so that the green, which sits next to a fishing marina, can be seen across the inlet from the tee. The course immediately enters the dunes landscape and stunning fourteen will likely be the signature hole, a nod to the famed seventh at Pebble Beach, a very short (90-yards playing 60 with no wind) par-3 with a downhill pitch to a peninsula green jutting into the water (don't go long!). The layout finishes in similarly strong fashion, and at various moments evokes Turnberry's Ailsa, Bandon Dunes, and Royal Portrush - all good company to be in.
While the approach shots, wind and bunkers will challenge players, the fairways are uniformly wide with a tremendous amount of playing room, making it almost a resort-style links where it is unlikely you will lose many balls off the tee, and cross winds will not be overly penal in terms of reaching the fairway. There is not a tight drive to be found out here - though several pack a strong dose of visual intimidation.
Cabot Links is also a resort, and features a 50-unit luxury boutique hotel, run by a GM with an ultra-luxe Aman Resorts background. Rooms are large, modern and very well appointed, with standalone soaking tubs, walk-in marble showers, and amenities like Nespresso coffee machines, custom made mattresses, Frette linens, and L'Occitane toiletries. All rooms have ocean views, some with balconies, are less than a two minute stroll to the first tee, and there is a good restaurant serving three meals daily. The hotel has been designed so that it can be doubled in size when the second course, Cabot Cliffs, is complete. I could already see the groundwork being down on that site, which occupies a higher clifftop plateau another five stories above the water. The routing is by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, one of the top rated design firms in the business, responsible for many of my favorites including Arizona's We-Ko-Pa, North Carolina's Dormy Club and the stunning renovation of legendary Pinehurst Number Two. Not surprisingly, they also did courses for Mike Keiser at Bandon Dunes and Tasmania's Barnbugle Dunes.

Maya telugu movie review
Maaya...With Final Destination Chaaya
Director Neelakanta is best known for his different concepts. But this time he chose a concept known as ESP which is new only to the tollywood.
Hero Harshvardhan Rane's action is good with different shades. Heroine Avantika Mishra is also good at action and never looked like it was her debut movie.
Screenplay should be a bit more gripping to engage the audience. Songs are placed well along the movie.
Overall It's just an ok watch. If you are not aware of movies like Final destination then there is a chance that you can like it more.
My Rating : 2.719/5

The 240SX version of the Nissan Silvia has become something of a cult car among drifter types in the United States, but the earlier (1984-88) 200SX version seems to have disappeared from both the streets and the public consciousness. Still, I see the occasional 200SX in wrecking yards these days, and I spotted this red '86 in a Denver yard last week. (Read More…)
Tag: 1986 Nissan 200SX
It's hard to get more stereotypically 80s than this car. Weird Japanese styling, headache-inducing upholstery patterns, and— most important— TURBO! I was 20 years old when this car was new, and the sight of this Crusher-bound example gave me terrible A-Ha flashbacks. (Read More…)

Spun Review
By Rachel Gordon
But with an eclectic cast that includes John Leguizamo, Mena Suvari, and Mickey Rourke, Spun is more about exuberant editing providing a humorous glimpse into a small, bored, drug community than a focus on any particular acting or writing talent. Once the pizzazz of quick cuts and graphic novel touches has washed over the normal tell-tale signs of substance abuse by all the characters, you're left with another drug movie that feels as if it's trying too hard to be Trainspotting, without the spiffy production design.
To its credit, the cast does a stellar job of being interesting to watch, even if there's nothing particularly new to their rote, mounting paranoia and instant gratification reflexes. Schwartzman's range is admirable beyond the fact that he's obviously worked out quite a bit since being "the geek" a few years ago. Leguizamo's hyperactivity translates well into the type of unpredictability we've come to expect from a dealer, and his relationship with girlfriend Suvari actually has unexpected moments of charm and laughter.
The direction, from newcomer Jonas Åkerlund, shows a stronger sense of style merging with content than one would expect out of a previous video music director. The film holds well under just the right amount of visual grit and the transitions between personal hallucination and returning to the present are tightly glued.
What drags in this speed scene is not the cohesion or characters but the story that binds them on screen. Once Ross (Schwartzman) has kept his unfortunate date naked and tied to the bed the first time, it becomes tiresome to concentrate on his repetitively poor reasoning and her struggling over the next several times he returns to find her there still. Why every movie based on drugs requires a scene in the toilet is also beyond comprehension, though it is rare that a film will tackle constipation as a side effect of using. Ross's dreamy notions of his ex-girlfriend are also easy to anticipate, as is their conclusion, so the buildup also becomes irritating.
However, Spun is an energetic, entertaining work with people well worth watching for under two hours. It intermittently tries the attention span, but it's also a respectful enough combination between actors and director that you don't feel cheated after sitting through it. If you care enough, you'll find dropped hints on deeper issues glanced over with a frivolousness that attempts to keep judgmental notions from encroaching too far into enjoyment. Because you can read between the lines, or simply take it all at face value and come out realizing that Spun isn't taking itself any more seriously than the characters within take their own lives. Expect much rapid eye movement and automatically raised eyebrows. Some fun spice includes brief stints by Deborah Harry, Eric Roberts, and a cameo by Pornstar subject Ron Jeremy.

Technology: Supply Chain
Over the past several years, Mike Webb has helped build a global supply chain for Singapore-based Flextronics International Ltd., one of the world's largest makers of electronic components, that's the envy of manufacturers around the world. From their desktops, the company's purchasers, who buy components that will eventually go into products sold by such customers as Nokia Corp., Xerox Corp., Ericsson Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc., can see data pulled together from practically every Flextronics plant on four continents. They know exactly how many components for a given product are available in-house, where they can source more and at what quantity, and which supplier is offering the best price.
But while real advances have been made in improving communication and wringing out inefficiencies, Webb, Flextronics' senior vice president of information technology, is still struggling to overcome the thorniest problem facing his supply chain: accurately forecasting demand. Says Webb: "We take a view that the whole supply chain is a dynamic environment you're constantly trying to keep on top of. But what's ultimately driving all that plumbing is demand. If you can get that part right, the rest is relatively easy."
The fact is, says Webb, you can have the best supply chain technology and the best intelligence-gathering systems available, but they mean little if the information going into the system is flawed, or if the forecasters fail to listen to data they may not want to believe. As John Fontanella, of AMR Research Inc., a Boston technology research firm, points out: "Who's going to tell [Cisco CEO] John Chambers, after he's just had his best year ever, that he'd better cut back production by 30 percent? How would you like to be that sales manager?" And yet, that's exactly what Chambers should have heard much earlier than he did. "There are a lot of tools out there, and they're pretty damn good tools, but they're all dependent on getting good information, and getting that information shared," says Webb. "So there's a cultural issue that's probably just as big as the technological issue."

text: San Diego gas prices continue to skyrocket Average in SD at $4.52, some areas at about $5 7:44 AM, Oct 5, 2012 7:39 AM, Oct 5, 2012 Share Article Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next SAN DIEGO - The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County recorded what is believed to be its largest single- day increase Friday, rising 19.5 cents to $4.523, its highest amount since July 10, 2008. The average price has risen for seven consecutive days, including 9.2 cents on Thursday and 5.8 cents on Wednesday, and is now 40.7 cents more than one week ago, 36.7 cents higher than one month ago and 70.9 cents greater than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. The record price is $4.63, set on June 19, 2008. In some areas of the county, particularly in Santee, customers are seeing prices beyond $5. "Reportedly in recent weeks, local refineries were dropping production levels, exporting supply to Mexico and other countries, and allowing inventory to dwindle in anticipation of switching over to production of winter blend gasoline, then a refinery power outage and a pipeline incident occurred on Monday that sent wholesale markets into a panic about the adequacy of California fuel supplies," said Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Spring said "it's not clear" how much higher prices will go. "A lot depends on whether the perceived supply issues are quickly addressed," he said. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

Nik Stauskas made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 3:12 left and finished with 19 points and freshman Derrick Walton Jr. scored a season-high 19, lifting No. 21 Michigan to an 80-75 win over No. 3 Michigan State on Saturday night to remain the only Big Ten team without a conference loss.
The Wolverines (15-4, 7-0 Big Ten) went on a 10-0 run late in the game to take control and held on to win for just the second time in 15 games at the Breslin Center.
The Spartans (18-2, 7-1) had won 11 straight since losing to North Carolina at home.
Michigan State's Gary Harris scored a career-high 27 points and didn't get much help offensively from his team that was without two of its best players.

As some of you may remember, I did a post on a Who What Wear event that took place at the Gap a few months back. Attendees were told to come dressed in colorful attire, and the best outfits received a $500 Gap gift card. You can say I was one of the lucky winners of this competition, but I certainly could not have done it without all the amazing people that voted for me, thank you guys! :D.
Here are some iPhone flicks of my purchases.
I am in love with these tie dye skinnies! I can't wait to wear them this summer.. |
So I spent two and a half hours trying on clothes, and my sister,who was also my photographer that morning had to rush me out of the store. Explains why my shirt is half way buttoned lol. Hope you guys saw pieces that you may like to add to your closet for the summer.
xoxo!! |

A group of six bishops from the Episcopal church plan to push for more inclusive treatment of marriages performed between same-sex couples at the church's General Convention, which starts Wednesday in Anahem. The Right Rev. Thomas C. Ely, the bishop of the Episcopal Church in Vermont, said the bishops want to adapt a marriage prayer book to include married same-sex couples. [Link]

In a rare gesture of openness, Apple has revealed data about iPhone application sales and confirmed the existence of a "kill switch" to disable malicious applications.
Steve Jobs told the Wall Street Journal that the iPhone's App Store has sold 60 million applications, or two million downloads a day, since its launch one month ago. Altogether this netted about $30 million in revenue
(which means that for every one of the eight copies of I Am Rich, Apple probably shifted plenty of freebies, too.) Apple took a relatively modest 30 percent of the pie, or just enough to cover credit card processing fees, Jobs said.
Whichever way you cut it, that's a lot of apps, even if, as Gigaom's Om Malik suggests, people aren't actually using most of those applications.
Even more interesting, though, is the strangely open and forthcoming answer Jobs gave when asked about the remote kill switch for iPhone applications. He confirmed that it is indeed possible for
Apple to reach into your phone from afar and disable malicious applications.
"Hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull," he told the WSJ.
An example of a malicious application would be one that stole users'
personal information, Jobs explained.
While it's comforting to know that a harmful application can be immediately purged from all iPhones at the press of a button, it's a little worrying, too. Given the level of secrecy inside Apple, some have speculated the company could use "malicious" as a blanket term to disable any applications as it so pleases.
The application that immediately comes to mind is NetShare, which violates
AT&T's Terms of Service agreements by turning your iPhone into a wireless modem for laptop tethering. Apple removed NetShare from the
App Store shortly after it appeared in the App Store, and this ban is most likely permanent since Apple is reviewing user contracts with AT&T.
The question arises: What about all the people who downloaded the app before its disappearance — users who will continue violating
AT&T's TOS?
Then there is the question of how exactly Apple will determine which applications are "malicious."
We have a picture in our heads of some kind of virtual Guantanamo Bay inside
One Infinite Loop, where bad applications are kept locked up indefinitely and tortured to find their secrets.
"Oh, you like phishing, do you?" the ex-CIA interrogator will ask as he tips the imprisoned code back on a board and reaches for a bucket of water. "Then why don't you take a SWIM?" he'll shout, up-ending the bucket on the victim's face.

Wednesday was the soft launch of the new Off the Grid lunch location at Vallejo and Front Streets, in between the Financial District and North Beach. I couldn't be happier because now, every Wednesday and Friday, the food trucks are just a short walk away from my daytime work. For it's soft launch, OTG hosted Señor Sisig and Little Green Cyclo, and I, armed with a mission to find some healthy lunchtime options, queued up with my colleagues in front of my favorite Filipino truck.
It seems that every time I eat at Señor Sisig, I find something that becomes my new favorite. It just gets better and better with every visit! I was convinced for a while that nothing would top the Tosilog Burrito, but today it surrendered its #1 spot when I took my first bite of some straight-up Chicken Sisig with Steamed Rice.
Okay, I know that doesn't sound incredibly exciting, especially since on their menu it is listed after a burrito stuffed with french fries and a giant bowl of nachos. But I was trying to eat healthier, and this seemed like the healthiest choice on the menu. Plus, since I have eaten here so many times, it's actually the only thing that I haven't tried off of their normal menu. I expected it to be satisfying, and I expected it to be tasty. Considering all of my past experiences here, I also expected it to be fantastic.
Señor Sisig didn't let me down. My Chicken Sisig was exceptional! The platter consists of bite-sized cubes of seasoned and marinated chicken, grilled and slightly charred. They are tossed with diced onions and topped with jalapeños (though I omitted the jalapeños on mine). It's served alongside a scoop of steamed white rice and is accompanied by achara, pickled Filipino vegetables. My take-away container was fairly heavy, so it's a decent sized portion. And while I am sure that I could have eaten it all, I chose to eat only half and save the rest for later. Even after eating only half I was quite full, so it's a good amount of food.
The chicken was extremely tender and moist, and I loved the crispy charring on the outside. Though the meat sang with a subtle citrus flavor of lemon, I chose to add some extra zing with the wedges that came with my meal. The seasonings added the right amount of salt, and I enjoyed the crisp, fresh, raw onions to balance the delicate spiciness. I also appreciated that it wasn't heavy or oily; instead, it just burst with succulent flavor.
The sisig has always been delectable in all of Señor Sisig's other menu items, but I loved that here it stood out on its own. I was really able to enjoy it's flavor and texture, with nothing else to compete with it. The simple side of steamed rice was the perfect, unobtrusive accompaniment. After a small hiatus from the food trucks, this was the perfect lunch to kick off eating season once again!
Rating: 4/5 (ratings guide)

Peace and Goodwill to All
Looking back on the holidays, and carving out space for meat-free eating
By Elisa Camahort
In the years that I've been a vegetarian, I've been to many, many meaty Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. And, yes, I confess that sometimes it's tough. Even pre-veggie, I rarely ate turkey, other than on those holiday dinner nights. Even so, when those nights roll around, the turkey tempts me. What is that? Nutritional nostalgia, I guess.
In the early years, my mom and I both fell into this "Must Have Main Dish" mentality. Other cultures eat a series of small or side dishes: tapas, kimchee, dim sum. There's no equivalent here. We are definitely an appetizer-entree-dessert kind of country.
Usually my mom would go all out on some vegetarian main dish: a casserole, a stew, a pasta dish ... something hearty, something veggie ... and something I felt obligated to make a major dent in, especially if no one else was.
It took years for me to convince my mom that I would not starve or feel deprived if left to my devices with all of the normal side dishes at a holiday meals. We're talking sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cranberries, salad, bread, corn, maybe even another cooked vegetable. Not to mention the absolute necessity to save room for dessert.
I'm sure you see what I mean: big, full meal without a main dish.
Actually, I'm often happier in a restaurant if I approach my meal with the same philosophy. Am I unhappy to chow down on a beet salad, and sides of spinach, Brussels sprouts and/or mashed potatoes? Not unhappy at all, thank you.
Sometimes I do feel like dispelling the pitying attitudes of my holiday dining companions. You can only hear so many jokes about tofurkey. So every now and then I bring a delicious recipe for vegan Tofu Pot Pie, gotten long ago from PETA. (They're not just about naked models, people!)
It's got gravy made with nutritional yeast; it's got a homemade crust; it's got the corn and peas we all remember lovingly from Swanson's. It's hearty, savory and filling.
But it's got no meat at all. And that makes the holiday season that much more full of thanks, peace and goodwill in my book.
A New Year's Wish
One Christmas night, as the Significant Other and I were leaving my mom's after another gluttonous holiday meal, we got an urgent phone call. My sister's teenage cat-sitter frantically reported that one of my sister's cats, Poseidon, was hiding under the Christmas tree, unresponsive and uninterested in dinner: a sure sign of something seriously wrong.
The SO and I volunteered to rush over there and take Poseidon to an animal hopital open 24/7/365. It was clear Poseidon's condition was very bad, and while they didn't know if it was due to poison, a fall or a kick, Poseidon was bleeding internally like there was no tomorrow.
While we anxiously waited at the hospital, a man came in with a puppy, probably a lab mix, that had been the victim of a hit-and-run outside his house. The puppy wasn't too seriously hurt, but he was crying in a particularly pathetic way. The driver of the car may have run away, but this guy stepped up. He said he would pay the bills, and if no owner was located, he would keep the puppy.
There we were spending Christmas night in a way I'm sure none of us expected to (or in the case of the hospital workers, hoped to), caring for injured animals that needed help.
Yet the cat-sitter didn't think twice about taking the time to call about Poseidon and then wait for us to get there. The SO and I didn't think twice about rushing to get him. The man didn't think twice about saving that puppy. And the hospital workers didn't think twice about giving up their holiday evening to help animals that ended up there.
In the end, the puppy only had an injured paw, and Poseidon pulled through. But how many of the kind people who made that happen went home and didn't think twice about eating a cow or chicken or lamb? I don't like to put people on the spot, but I don't get how we've learned to segment animals we rush to save from animals we rush to eat at the end of a long night.
If you've ever saved a stray or shelled out major dinero for veterinarian bills or thought about both human and pet victims of natural disasters, then perhaps this year you can think about resolving to spread the love just a little more broadly around the animal kingdom. Just my New Year's wish.

September Favourites.
Somehow it's already time for another monthly favourites post, where this year has gone I have no idea, but I'd quite like some of it back, please? I've only had a couple of real favourites this month and I've sort of cheated a little with two of them because I only got them right at the end of September, but shh, I won't tell if you don't!
My lips have been so sore and dry over the past few weeks & the lip butters from The Body Shop have been the only things that have helped soothe them. I know so many people swear by Carmex but I'm pretty sure that's been making my lips worse, yuck! The shea lip butter is my absolute favourite but all the scents are ridiculously gorgeous so I'll definitely be stocking up on a few of these for the winter, I've got my eye on the coconut one for sure. These are £4 so maybe slightly more expensive than some lip balms but they seem to last for ages even if they do come in a really dinky little pot.
Another favourite from The Body Shop is this eye trio in Sundown Glow. I'm not an eye shadow person at all, I'm far too lazy for it, but I reach for this trio on days where I feel like making a little more effort. The colours, especially the copper colour, really make my blue eyes stand out and the light shimmery colour makes me look really awake when I apply it in my inner corners. This was limited edition last year but I'm sure these colours would easily be found from another brand, I know the copper here really reminds me of Bronx from Illamasqua. These are perfect autumn colours for me, very pretty!
My favourite lip combination during September was Barry M lipstick in the shade 147, peachy pink, and the Australis lipgloss in the shade Lambada which is a lovely baby pink with shimmer. The lipstick on its own is very peachy on me but when paired with this lipgloss it turns into the most beautiful milky pink with a hint of peach. It's such an easy combination to wear and will go with any look so there's minimum thought required on those early mornings before work!
This is a bit of a cheat product because I only got it a few days before the end of September, but I just adore it so it had to be included! This is my first Ciate nail polish, it was free with Marie Claire magazine and yes it was the only reason I bought the magazine. I got the shade Dangerous Affair and I like to think of this as my 'grown up' nail polish! I'd describe it as a sultry deep blood red and it's the most perfect colour for the coming seasons, I think it'll be on my nails a lot! These usually retail at around £9 and while I'm not sure I'd pay full price, it's a really nice addition to my collection. There are some really pretty autumn shades from Ciate in the Asos sale at the moment so that's worth checking out if you fancy a bit of a bargain!
The Body Shop blush trio in Cool Dusk is still a firm favourite and I think I'm just going to have to stop mentioning it because I'm positive it's going to be a favourite all through autumn and winter. Made up from a light lilac, a baby pink and a deeper almost red-based pink when swirled together and dusted over the cheeks the result is a super pretty frosty pink that really seems to make the cheeks glow. If you have a Body Shop outlet near you I'd pop in and have a nosey because they might still have some of these for the bargain price of £3.
My last beauty favourite is also a bit of a cheat because I haven't had it for long, but it's been on my cheeks everyday since I've had it, so it deserves a place in this post, right? Well, I think so! I am, of course, talking about the Illamasqua powder bush in the shade Tweak, which is a beautiful red-based hot pink colour. It is absolutely gorgeous and it's quickly working its way up to being my favourite blush of all time. It's so incredibly pigmented that a little goes a very long way and you do have to be careful to avoid the inevitable clown-look if you apply too much. The smallest amount gives that perfect flush of colour like when you walk into a warm room after being outside in the cold. I absolutely adore it and would recommend this to everyone, even those as pale as I am, because you can totally make it work. I will have a face of the day post using this very soon, I promise! Even though these are pricey at £16 each, they are so worth every single penny in my opinion. Love love love!
This wouldn't be a proper September favourites post if my favourite of all favourites wasn't mentioned now would it? So here he is, my beautiful Ralphie!
What were your September favourites?
20 comments:
September went past so ridiculously quickly! I hate Carmex as well, and am currently using Benefit's Lipscription, which works wonders for my chapped lips. It's quite pricey though, so this shea lip butter is oh so tempting right now ;) Also, how gorgeous is that nail colour?! N'awh give Ralphie a little cuddle from me, he looks so sweet! xxx
Thank you so much for reading! I love when you leave your thoughts so I would love if you left me a little comment, I read every single one, they mean so much and I try my very best to reply to each one!
You are very welcome to leave a link to your blog in your comment, but please just leave one link and I ask you not to promote giveaways. Thank you for understanding. With love, Jennie May xo
