The hiking Stick or Stave or staff traditionally has been a part of Scouting. Baden Powell talked of the hiking stick and its many uses when he started the Scouting Movement.
The Hiking stick is made of strong wood, not just any old stick, it is solid and steadfast.
It provides stability on the trail. When climbing it gives you a lift, when descending it takes the load off and when the trail is smooth and easy, it is a companion.
The hiking stick is usually adorned with a compass to help guide the hiker along the way, it keeps the hiker heading in the right direction and always knows which way is true.
A lot of times a whistle hangs from the hiking stick. A tool to alert others of danger or get attention in times of distress.
The hiking stick is a place where we can show other hiker where we have been, a reminder of the good times on the trail, and memories of some of the hardships that got us where we are today.
The hiking stick is a great metaphor in our lives.
We all need a good hiking stick, weather that is a solid piece of hickory or titanium trekking poles, we all need something to hold onto, something that guides us and helps us along the trail of life.
That stability and support that makes our climbs fun and our descents easy and the smooth times a pleasure to walk through.
Find yourself a good hiking stick.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
*just a note: The picture for this post shows me with a big stick, it's not the hiking stick I use, it was just laying around that day, but made a great "Lean On" stick.
What you do see in the picture however are other people. And those people are my real life "hiking stick". Next to me is one of my Assistant Scoutmasters John. He's my go to guy and a dear friend. Then there is the short fellow, that's my youngest son. It is he and his brother that got me back into and keep me in Scouting. Then the man in Red with the red hat, he is my Dad. Perhaps the single most important person in my life that has shaped me, and always a good "lean on". And finally in the picture is my Mom. I can never say enough about her.
The folks in this picture are truly my hiking stick that helps me get through life.
Not pictured are my Wife, my Son, and many other friends that help prop me up and keep the trail smooth.

The MIAA champion Hope College Flying Dutch (13-4-2) have drawn a first round bye in the NCAA Division III women's soccer tournament and will wait to compete until next Saturday, Nov. 13 in the second round at Wheaton College of Illinois (20-1).
The game will be played on the artificial turf of Wheaton's East McCully Field with a starting time to be announced.
The Thunder of Wheaton are very familiar to coach Leigh Sears' Dutch. Back in early September Wheaton blanked Hope 7-0 in a season-opening tournament at DePauw. They returned from Greencastle, Ind. with two losses, but since then have lost only twice enroute to winning the championship of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
Ranked third in the nation, Wheaton has advanced to the tournament as champions of the Collegiate Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW). The Thunder have reeled off 20 consecutive victories, including 15 by shutout.
Hope will be making its second consecutive appearance in the NCC tournament. A year ago the Flying Dutch defeated Manchester, Ind. 2-0 in a first round game, but lost to DePauw 1-0 in the second. Wheaton will be appearing in the tournament for an eighth consecutive year.

text: So I am completely new to turkey hunting. I live in Central Florida so will be hunting the Osceola on public land.I am completely internet taught. I need some pointers on what to look for what how long to stay put. So far I've hunted twice once at Bull Creek WMA and another at Green Swamp WMA. Both are mostly scrubs with some mixed hardwoods here and there. I have yet to see or even hear anything. I have seen plenty of tracks indicating turkeys are moving around the area. I had found what i believed to be a good spot where 4 trails converged and saw some tracks. To me this seemed like a good spot for an ambush. We sat on that area for about 45 minutes calling prob every few minutes. From what i've read we called way to much. I was not able to do any prehunt scouting and have no idea where they are roosting. Is it imperative that i find the roosting spot? Am i most likley to find this in the swampy areas of the WMA? I have been setting up decoys and been using a box call. Am i best to just walk trails all day and wait to hear them? Or is it best to find an area and sit on it for several hours? Any information would be helpful.

Kentucky law designates Feb. 15 through April 30 as spring forest fire hazard season. During this time, it is illegal to burn anything within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland between the daylight hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The law is intended to prevent forest fires by allowing outdoor burning only after 6 p.m. when conditions are less likely to cause a wildfire to spread.
Although unsafe debris burning is a significant problem, arson remains the leading cause of wildfire in Kentucky.

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By Deborah Gage
Intel Corp.'s $740 million investment into Cloudera Inc. means that Cloudera's big data software, Hadoop, is no longer a technical curiosity, Cloudera investors said.
Intel invested in Cloudera at a $4.1 billion valuation and is dropping its own version of Hadoop, which is software than can analyze huge amounts of data by breaking it up into chunks and spreading it across thousands of standard servers. Intel chips power many of these servers, and the company expects to benefit as more companies use Hadoop.
So far, according to CIO Journal, there are only 1,000 implementations of Hadoop in use at businesses.
Cloudera investor Frank Artale, a managing director at Ignition Partners and a former executive at Microsoft Corp. during the 1990s, said Intel is doing for Cloudera what it once did for Microsoft and Windows.
Once Intel committed to working with Microsoft to make Windows run well on Intel chips, "their customers– folks like Compaq or HP—said 'Intel trusts it, so we trust it,' and then corporate customers trusted the infrastructure," said Mr. Artale, a former general manager in the Windows group who worked on Windows 2000.
Application developers will follow, investors said. "Intel has a huge ecosystem [of hardware and software companies] and Cloudera is a big partner around big data applications," said Accel General Partner Ping Li, who's on Cloudera's board.
Cloudera has now raised $1.2 billion pending the close of this funding round, but there are still several other versions of Hadoop, which has its roots in software developments at Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. and is available free under what the industry calls an open source license.
Counting Cloudera, there are three venture-backed Hadoop companies—including Hortonworks Inc. and MapR Technologies Inc.—and some investors say all of them could go public. There are also Hadoop versions at International Business Machines Corp. and at Pivotal Inc., a joint venture between VMware Inc. and EMC Corp. in which GE has a stake.
Cloudera said it expects big growth in the market for big data software, citing data from IDC that projects 30 billion autonomous connected endpoints on the Internet by 2017, and a 50-fold growth of data globally from 2010 to 2020.

MINOOKA — For the second time in as many years, there has been a change at the top of the Minooka wrestling team. What was set in motion two years ago when venerable coach Bernie Ruettiger stepped down, concluded this past offseason with the return of longtime assistant coach Jeff Charlebois. Charlebois, who has been the head coach in Oswego the past two years, replaces Paige Schoolman after his one-year stint at the helm.
"One of the most important things is getting Jeff back into the program. That's huge," Schoolman said recently. "I'm glad he came back and is part of this program again. He's been a big part of what we've been missing the last couple of years."
Schoolman has exited the wrestling program all together this winter and he said that it was due to a number of factors.
"I just thought for me personally that it was a little bit too much. I mean, being a varsity football coach is a seven day a week job from the end of the school year on. Then it goes straight into wrestling. It just got to be too much," he said. "I got married (this summer) and have a child on the way, but I wouldn't want to say that was the reason. Still, I do have other things to think about in my life right now. There are other priorities in my life that didn't exist before."
In turn, that opened up a priority for Minooka athletic director Bob Tyrell in that he once again was looking to fill a void in the wrestling program.
"Basically when the season ended, we talked some and coach Schoolman thought he might go that direction," Tyrell said. "We have a ton of respect for him and we let things settle down at the end of the season. Then we got the process of getting things going for this year."
Charlebois said that he was aware of what was going on at the time of the transition and immediately threw his hat in the ring for the job.
"I was in contact for a while. I knew that Paige was going to step down. The communication came relatively quickly at the end of the season," Charlebois said. "Relatively soon after the season it was in motion and fortunately, I had a lot of people here who wanted me here and we're campaigning for me. That was instrumental in me coming back. I won't say it was an easy decision to make. I felt there were a lot of good things going on at Oswego, it just felt like the right move. To come back and lead the program that coach Ruettiger built is a nice feeling. From my years here, it helped me become a better coach."
It should be noted that Ruettiger is still in the program, back for a second year as an assistant coach.
"Coach Ruettiger is obviously a staple in our program and we're thrilled he's staying around," Tyrell said.
Ruettiger, Charlebois and Schoolman were instrumental in helping make the Indians a powerhouse wrestling program over the past decade, which made Tyrell's decision to bring Charlebois back an easy one.
"Jeff had been in our program, so we knew that we had a great candidate there," Tyrell said. "That position came open a year ago and he was a guy who knew our system and has contributed great things to our program over the years. We're happy to have him back."
The place where he is expected to make the biggest impact is working on technique with the Minooka kids.
"He's all about technique, technique, technique. Jeff's hard nosed and we know we are going to wear people out with his approach," Ruettiger said. "The way we used to do it. I'm glad to have him back because he's one of the best coaches out there. If the kids can buy into what he's doing, and I think they are, we can be pretty good. With Jeff, it's not about where we start, it's where we end."

Has anyone owned or shot the new Browning A-5. Would you recommend purchasing one for duck hunting?
Has anyone owned or shot the new Browning A-5. Would you recommend purchasing one for duck hunting?
i won one at a DU event and love the gun. it's light and been reliable. all my hunting buddies plan on buying one as well.
One of the new ones or the older versions?
i won a new one
I have older belgian made A-5 and it never gets used when the other choice is a Benelli.
I've heard nothing but good things about them. Hey,its a Browning its almost got to be good.
A Buddy had a new one break on a SD hunt. My dad has a 90yo belgian which I would trade my benelli for.
I did not know Browning was making these again. I loved the old ones so I'm sure these are pretty nice shooting guns. Makes me wish I would have waited before I bought my maxus last year.
yeah I figured it would be an upgraded action from the old A5. I did not know it was recoil operated (like Benelli). I'd be interested to shoot one of these. I do love my Maxus but these might be pretty nice...

Yes, True Blood has resumed, and Futurama and Weeds wait in the wings. But let's take a moment to hail The Tudors, which bows out this Sunday night at 9 after four seasons on Showtime. This opulent historical potboiler — running on a relentless energy of sex, death, and Renaissance-era politics — has balanced trashy soap opera with sharp writing and acting, memorable characters, a patina of literary sophistication, and enough T&A and bloody executions to keep any unreconstructed fan of old-school Masterpiece Theatre or The Sopranos on the edge of his or her seat.
The final season has not disappointed. Granted, for historical-thematic complexity combined with sexual intrigue, nothing beats those first couple of seasons. What could exceed the dramatic potential of Henry's shifting alliances with various courtiers including Cardinal Woolsey (Sam Neill) and Thomas More (Jeremy Northam), his battle with the pope, and the double foreplay that leads to the consummation of his relationship with and marriage to Wife No. 2, Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer), and her execution?
And there were plenty of burnings, hangings, and racking of other traitors along the way — not to mention Henry's voracious sexual appetite even when he was "happily" married. It's a tribute to series creator and writer Michael Hirst, that he's been able to whet anticipation and maintain suspense along the way, even as we realize at every turn what's coming, ticking off the helpful mnemonic for those six wives (divorced/beheaded/died//divorced/beheaded/survived), and knowing full well that little Edward must survive that fever to rule one day, and that Mary and Elizabeth too will ascend to the Throne.
So we're aware what's in store for Wife No. 5, poor Katherine Howard (Tamzin Merchant), when the aging Henry takes the teenager as his wife. But what sweet torture to watch it unfold. Merchant is an affectingly clueless queen. And as ill-fated adulterer Thomas Culpepper, Torrance Coombs is an effectively young and handsome foil to the king.
And what barbarity inside and outside of court! Sexually frustrated, Culpepper takes to the countryside with his pals, rapes a peasant woman, and then murders her husband. Equally brutal is the enigmatic Lord Surrey (Henry Howard, Katherine's cousin), a kind of crazed proto-fascist incensed that noble blood has been supplanted at court by so many common "new men." When he isn't off on a bat smashing windows and punching harlots in the face, he's delivering encomiums on his ancestry and translating Martial. Surrey is beautifully played by David O'Hara with an unplaceable accent (Scots German?). It's easy to cheer him when, justifiably accused of treason, he tells off the king's corrupt tribunal — and easy to sympathize when he's led off to be hanged, drawn, and quartered.
The producers seem to have given up on the idea of making Jonathan Rhys Meyers a truly fat Henry. But his decline is apparent in his limping gait, pasty complexion, and hoarse, staccato braying of contradicting royal pronouncements. By the final episode, he even believes in his own divine power to heal the sick. Alas, despite quick make-up sex with Wife No. 4, Anne of Cleves (a surprisingly effective Joss Stone, with her own odd Low Country accent), and a wise choice in an unwilling but pragmatic and truly regal (though heretical) Wife No. 6, Catherine Parr (the exquisite Joely Richardson, channeling her mother, Vanessa Redgrave), Henry's reign is a bust. The final episode is a kind of Ghosts of Christmas Past cavalcade — the formerly brilliant young humanist now a self-deluded tyrant. It's hard not to feel sorry for the guy.

Has anyone else here had any trouble purchasing from Wizards store online. I just assumed they would be trustworthy but now I'm having a heck of a time getting any correspondence out of them regarding an order thatI've already paid them for. Their website says (even now) that they still have all four of the EE clone sets on hand and ready to ship for $119. So I went ahead and ordered them last week, my card was charged right away. Problem is, I started having computer problems so I bought a new computer and I haven't been able to access my old e-mail to retrieve my order number or anything. So three nights ago I e-mailed their customer service to explain the situation and check up on things. I recieved an auto-response message basically saying they were closed and they'd have someone get back to me. But as of yet, nothing!
So has anyone else dealt with them? I'm I being to impatient, or should I try to get my money back?

Student Work: 'Chris Thile Concert Preview'

At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile will make his Princeton University Concerts debut playing works by Bach and others. This preview features Princeton sophomore Noah Fishman talking about Thile, one of Fishman's heroes. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
NOAH FISHMAN: This is a mandolin.
It's very small, half the size of a guitar.
and you play it with a pick.
And, I love it.
It has a lot of attitude, but it's also very
sweet, and it can be gentle, it can be forcefulâit's
a lot of things in a small package.
Chris Thile is one of the most inspiring musical
figures for me right now because he's involved
in so many different musical styles and makes them all
his own. For example, if you look at his touring
schedule, he's playing with jazz pianist Brad
Mehldau, he's playing bluegrass with Michael
Daves, he's touring with the Punch Brothers,
he's touring with Yo-Yo Ma and the Goat Rodeo
Sessions, playing classical music, bluegrass,
jazz. And each time he plays, it's so him.
It's exciting that Chris is coming to Princeton
because he's so passionate about music, and
people at Princeton are so passionate about
everything they doâin music, in the arts,
in the sciences, in math, in literature. So,
someone like Chris who's breaking boundaries
in the way that he's breaking them...you know,
it's just a really inspiring thing.

My particular focus is on snakes and lizards, but I have a decent smattering of knowledge of turtles and crocodilians as well, plus the experience to get relevant information quickly if I don't have it on hand in my brain. I can answer questions on captive care, diet, breeding, incubation of eggs, starting hatchlings, and more. I am particularly experienced with ball pythons, Lygodactylus geckos and other small lizards with similar care requirements, leopard geckos, and garter snakes.
I am a professional breeder of ball python morphs, Lygodactylus (dwarf) geckos, and mourning geckos. I have begun working with Irian Jaya carpet pythons, and plan to expand to include more gecko species in the future.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jeff Thompson surrendered one run in seven strong innings to make two early runs stand up in Louisville's 2-1 victory over No. 2 overall seed Vanderbilt in a NCAA super regional on Sunday, sending the Cardinals to the College World Series for the second time.
The Big East Conference pitcher of the year struck out nine, allowed three hits and threw 124 pitches. Zak Wasserman and Sutton Whiting drove in runs in the second inning for the Cardinals (51-12).
Left-hander Cody Ege earned his first career save by striking out Mike Yastrzemski with runners on the corners. Louisville is making its first trip to the CWS since 2007.
Vanderbilt freshman Zander Wiel homered in the sixth inning to account for the only extra-base hit of the series. The Commodores (54-12) stranded 11 runners for the second straight game.
Jordan Montgomery pitched a four-hit shutout, leading South Carolina past North Carolina in the NCAA super regionals for the Tar Heels' most lopsided loss this year.
Joey Pankake drove in two runs during a five-run second inning for the Gamecocks (43-19), who forced a decisive game Monday in the best-of-3 series with the winner going to the College World Series.
The Tar Heels (56-10) won Saturday's opener 6-5 on an RBI single in the ninth, putting them within a win of returning to Omaha, Neb., for the sixth time in eight seasons.
But the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament got a short outing from a starting pitcher and fell behind early for the second straight day.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Sam Travis hit a tiebreaking two-run homer, and Indiana beat Florida State to reach the College World Series for the first time in school history.
The Hoosiers (48-14) made the NCAA tournament for just the third time and were in their first super regional. But they played with plenty of poise on the road, sweeping the Seminoles.
Will Coursen-Carr (5-0) pitched four innings of relief for Indiana, allowing just one earned run. Coursen-Carr earned the win in the Big Ten tournament final, regional title game and super regional clincher.
After Florida State (47-17) scored three runs in the top of the fifth to tie the game 5-5, Travis gave the Hoosiers the lead for good in the bottom of the inning.
Scott Sitz (10-2) allowed seven runs, six of them earned, in 4 1-3 innings.
N.C. STATE 5, RICE 4, 17 innings
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Brett Williams doubled in Tarran Senay in the top of the 17th inning to help North Carolina State beat Rice 5-4 on Sunday in the longest super regional game in NCAA history.
Senay drove in the run that tied it in the ninth inning and set the stage for N.C. State (49-14) to make its first College World Series appearance since 1968.
Rice (44-20) tied a season high with three home runs. Two were solo shots by Christian Stringer, who homered and hit a go-ahead double in Game 1 and has four of the Owls' six extra-base hits in the series. Before the super regional, Stringer had one home run in 62 games this season.
N.C. State starter Logan Jernigan held Rice to two hits over five innings, including Stringer's first home run, but just as in Game 1, the Wolfpack struggled to scratch out runs early.
Owls starter Jordan Stephens allowed one earned run in 6 1-3 innings, and N.C. State left 16 runners on base.
MISSISSIPPI STATE 5, VIRGINIA 3, 7 1-2 innings, Susp., rain
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Mississippi State's game against Virginia was suspended in the middle of the seventh inning by lightning and heavy rain.
The Bulldogs were leading 5-3 and coming to bat six outs from a sweep and their first College World Series berth since 2007 when the rain came at 10:02 p.m. The umpires waited just over an hour before deciding to suspend the game.
The game will resume at 4 p.m., the original scheduled time for a possible Game 3 at Virginia's Davenport Field. A victory would finish off a second straight impressive victory for Mississippi State against the nation's No. 6 seed, and sent them on to Omaha, Neb., as one of eight teams remaining.
Adam Frazier was again key to the Bulldogs success. The leadoff man, who had six hits in Saturday's opener with three runs batted in, had two RBI singles and Wes Rea added a two-run home run while Chad Girodo was dazzling in 4 2-3 innings of relief for the Bulldogs.
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Michael Conforto and Dylan Davis hit back-to-back home runs in a five-run first inning and Oregon State went on to force a decisive third game in its NCAA super regional series with Kansas State.
Oregon State's Tyler Smith and Kavin Keyes each had four hits and Oregon State (49-11) combined for a season high 21 hits. Andrew Moore, the Pac 12's freshman of the year, allowed six hits and three earned runs over eight innings, striking out a season-high nine batters.
The Beavers scored five runs in the first off six straight hits. With two outs, Conforto and Davis blasted back-to-back line-drive solo home runs. Ryan Barnes then added an RBI single to chase Kansas State starter Blake McFadden (6-3), who lasted just 23 pitches and 2-3 of an inning for the Wildcats (45-18).
The deciding game is Monday at 10 p.m. EDT.

We all know the benefits of running-- strong heart, muscular legs, huge calorie burn, the runner's high--the list goes on and on. But even the most dedicated runners can get bored or lose motivation to lace up their sneakers every now and again. So how do you take your usual boring run and make it interesting, challenging or exciting again? You change it up, that's how!
Spice up your next run with these 10 tips!
If you're normally a track or treadmill runner, take it outside with some hills. Find a hilly trail or create your own hill-filled route with an online tool that tracks elevation, such as mapmyrun.com. The hills will challenge your body in new ways and help to increase your cardio fitness.
If you're really looking for a challenge, find the biggest hill you can in your area and run up and down it as many times as you can with proper running form. Add this hilly workout to your weekly running schedule and watch your running power grow!
Nothing is worse than hearing the same song or playlist over and over during a run. If you feel like you have music déjà vu every time you run, it's time to switch up those tunes. Whether it's swapping your running tunes for a new batch of favorites or downloading an entirely new album or couple of tracks, new music can reignite your running spark. These ideas from your fellow Sparkers and Coach Nicole will get you started.
If you find yourself wanting to turn and run home because of boredom after just a few minutes of jogging, then you may want to try intervals. Perfect for those with short exercise attention spans (I'm guilty of this), intervals give you something to focus on. To improve speed--and make the time fly--try running fast for 30 seconds followed by 1 minute of easy jogging or fast walking. Do this for 20 minutes and your previously boring run will fly by. Plus, intervals burn more calories and improve your fitness faster than slower, steady state runs. Bonus!
Finding a friend to run with is the easiest way to turn a drab run into something fun. Especially good for long runs, grab your most gossipy bud and get those legs and mouths moving (this "talk test" can help measure intensity). Before you know it, you'll have your run done, and you'll know all the dirt on the new neighbors.
If you don't have a friend to run with, don't forget about your dog! Furry friends can be fun and entertaining running companions. (And if your dog likes to chase squirrels like mine does, then you can get quite the interval and resistance workout, too!)
If you always run along with the same river, around the same block or even on the same treadmill, change it up! Be it a park, off-road trail, sandy beach or even a treadmill in a new area of the gym, get creative and take your run to a new spot. The variation will give you something new to look at and the varied terrain will challenge your muscles in new ways!
Jogging doesn't just have to be about running laps around a track or getting fit (although the fitness part is awesome). Change how you see your run by repurposing it. Instead of running to burn calories, run the few blocks over to see a friend, jog to the post office to drop off a letter, or run to the video rental store to drop off that movie before it's overdue. Your body--and Mother Earth--will thank you!
Whether you're new to running or have a few marathons under your belt, you can always improve your form. If you're finding your runs boring, then really pay attention and focus on your form. Nothing will make the time pass by faster than forgetting about how far you have to go and instead focusing on how you're running. Need pointers on the correct way to run? Check out these tips!
If music no longer speaks to your running soul, then try a book on tape, CD or download. From fiction to nonfiction, find something that really interests you and begin looking at your running time as a way to burn calories and learn something new! And if you don't want to spend the money on a book download, try listening to a few podcasts. Many of them are free and range in topics from fitness to cooking to news to humor to technology. No matter what subject matter you choose, just make sure you enjoy it--and that it isn't so entertaining that you slow down!
Especially for those who run a lot and for long distances, sometimes your brain just gets bored. No matter how many hills you run or intervals you do, your brain just keeps saying, "Go home." But you don't want to go home! You want to run! So, to prevent brain boredom, give the noggin a task. Not sure what to bring to that housewarming party this weekend? Decide during your run. Have a big project coming up at work and aren't sure how to present it creatively? Brainstorm while you run. Can't figure out how to squeeze your workout into next week's crazy schedule? Organize your time during your run. Make that mind run with those legs!
If all else fails, focus on your goal. Whether you're training for a half marathon, a 5K or just trying to complete your first mile, reacquaint yourself with why you started running in the first place. Is it because you feel fantastic after running? Is it because you love the accomplishment of running longer and faster? Is it because it's helping you drop unwanted pounds? No matter your reason, chances are that once you remind yourself of goal, you'll feel motivated to lace up those running shoes yet again.
Now get out there and run! (And if running isn't your speed, try these great walking tips!)

|good tips
|Good tips for riding my bike.
|These tips are good for walkers as well.
|One caveat: don't get too distracted during your run; situational awareness is an essential component of self defense. And you don't want to be running out in front of traffic either.
|Just what I needed today. Thanks Spark People!
Here are a few other tips:
*Imagine you're being chased by a zombie horde.
*Run like a rabbit like you would if someone was shooting at you. Sudden changes in direction work different muscles.
*Estimate the distance between you and a landmark (i.e., telephone pole), then count your steps and make a calculation to see how accurate your estimate was.
*I used to go to a big college campus to run so there were a lot of various stair cases to go up and down. And the scenery was nice. I did this in the evening so there weren't any students in my way.
*If you use running, walking, or bicycling to do practical things (i.e., go to a store or library) you'll be adding weight to your return run.
|I've started listening to podcasts on my runs. I sometimes get so into what they are saying, I forget how long I've been going. Great distraction.
|I take note of nature while I am walking outside. Never get enough of it. Listen to the birds and the sounds. See and hear the trees and water.
|This article is a great motivation to change up my walk/run... Great tips!!!!

Consider the latest news from the Middle East and North Africa, and one grasps why many U.S. oil and geopolitical analysts are cheering what they see as a prospect that the country will seriously trim its oil imports.
At the Financial Times, Javier Blas describes a drop in Saudi Arabia's pivotal capacity for bailing out the global oil market in a pinch, quoting a new report by the International Energy Agency; the IEA says natural oilfield decline has eroded Saudi's spare production capacity. Nearby in Iran, the stand-off with the West has resulted in a 15-percent risk premium on top of market oil prices, writes Bloomberg's Ayesha Daya; traders worry of a loss of much oil to the market should the tension escalate.
Meanwhile in Iraq, oil giant ExxonMobil -- hard-pressed like the rest of the industry to find new reserves -- has been barred from a new round of presumably world-class oil leases, reports the Wall Street Journal's Hassan Hafidh; Exxon is subject to this punishment for signing an independent oil deal with the northern Iraqi region of Kurdistan, with which Baghdad is in a long spat over revenue sharing.
And in northern Africa, Sudan has reportedly seized another 2.4 million barrels of oil from South Sudan, which continued a two-week-old halt to its 350,000-barrels-a-day of oil exports, writes Reuters, and an outbreak of fighting between the neighbors seems possible.
Against this exceptional Middle East turmoil -- events with reverberations around the world -- Lou Pugliaresi of the Washington-based Energy Policy Research Foundation tells me that in just five years, U.S. oil imports by sea are likely to fall to 4 million barrels a day, or less than half today's level (see slide eight). Pugliaresi credits a rise in oil production from far more predictable places -- a 1.5-million-barrel increase in U.S. unconventional oil production (oil shale and tight oil from North Dakota, Texas and elsewhere), plus more oil sands imports from Canada.
In so forecasting, Pugliaresi joins a critical mass of serious analysts who have found the same North American production trend line. I have expressed surprise about their crystal ball-gazing, since this forecast of plenty follows several years of precisely the opposite prognosis -- of difficult times in the oil patch -- and no head's up of a coming U.S. oil boom. Key data is missing from the analyses, those that I have seen anyway: None provides an oil price presumption underlying the higher forecast (when prices plunge, they play havoc with projections by making much oil uneconomic to produce); neither do they disclose their presumptions of oilfield decline, the natural annual drop in the volume of oil within a given patch (as with the Saudi decline noted above, when adjusted for a typical drop in oilfield performance -- often between 5 percent and 8 percent a year -- hoped-for production increases can be curtailed).
Another source of skepticism is that many of the analyses use politically charged descriptions such as "energy independence" to describe their findings, which inadvertently or not plays into base public emotions, and the partisan echo chamber in Washington. The non-partisan IEA for instance has released a similar but quieter report forecasting a U.S. oil production rise to 6.7 million barrels a day, tapering off to 6.1 million barrels a day through 2035.
Yet as suggested, one understands why Pugliaresi and the others appear to be animated: The U.S. suddenly would rely much more on stable supplies of its own and from Canada, and less on turbulent places such as the Middle East.
Other beneficial impact would follow as well: If U.S. oil production does rise significantly while consumption falls and efficiency rises, the combination would seriously moderate the world's largest pull on crude oil supplies. At the FT, Mansoor Mohiuddin argues that one result could be a shakeup in the U.S. economy and how traders (such as the New York oil traders pictured above) earn money betting on it, lowering the country's trade deficit and boosting the value of the dollar.
Caution remains in order. But one gets the early partying.

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi Juro, I am beating this dog to death, I hope last post on inflatables. I ordered today should have it by Friday. Also I have a story about striper fishing, but I don't know if you want it. I think you still have one or two, unless they got lost in the e-mail.
Juro, I have observed quite a number of guys fishing from kayaks, and have done it myself. I have launched in the surf and returned. Returning to the beach is a big problem as with a round bottom kayak, when you ride the wave up on the beach, you better be quick to get out before the next wave, because of the cramped quarters I have been unable to thus the rollover. Yes with the floorboards in it is an easy feat to standup, with \out floorboords,no. The ones that I have observed most are 2 guys form CT. They just launch, row out, fish, & return. I wouldn't say that they stay dry, but they don't capsize either. I have seen people go out in a 2 or 3 foot surf. What gets me is that you can get right in the middle of the fish about 200 yards offshore. It certainly makes for a chance at throwing a fly at feeding schools of fish, which during the week are not harrased by boats usually. Maybe if I can make somr kind of a backpack strap I could tote it to some inaccessable beach. Napatree comes to mind. I could also, if my son is going out have him drop me off at Napatree, just dreaming.
Looks like your making a sound decision.. the key point is to get whatever suits you and ,more importantly, gives you more actual fishing time.
Sorry Art -
You were quite clear in your description, I needed to read more carefully. I've been thinking about inflatable kayaks over the last year or so, still might go for one. An inflatable boat does sound really good though, especially one with a motor, although 2hp rules out tide currents and breachways. Great for up inside places like Quonny (slack or outgoing) inside the breachway would be sweet.
The days when you venture out past the open beach breakers would have to be carefully chosen I would think(?) How do those guys you observe do it?
Standing up is usually not feasible is it?
On a related topic, I found the battery for my 3 hp SW electric trolling motor is a pain. The battery is so heavy and any contact with the terminals or corrosive fluids are definitely bad for clothing, rods, reels, etc. I guess a gas tank would be better, with a 1 gallon size tank you could probably cruise all day with a 2hp!
Juro, I could have made it easier, try www.seaeagle.com
Juro, First I should proof read what I write, lots of mistakes. I have decided ona Sea eagle SE6 which is a motormount boat, not a kayak. It is made from 33 mil K80 Polykrylar.Weighs 25 lbs, can be packaged to 12'x22'x20'.It has 5 separate air chambers. Can carry 650 lbs 3 or 4 adults, not much room though. It has all around rope lacing, if you fall overboard, always something to grab. All with a 3 year warranty. I am ordering tomorrow, or Tuesday. The wife is not happy, what another boat. Order berfore Jan 31., and safe an additional $50 bucks and a free acessory value to $39. Startup package is $249. with oars, foot pump, and seat. Deluxe package comes with oars, foot pump, motormount, floarboards,and a fisherman's seat, for $399. They also have about 3 or 4 different inflatable kayaks, but I want to be able to move around and strech my legs, get rid of cramped quarters. Hope I answered your questions Juro. Anymore, and I will answer tomorrow. Art
What's the brand name? Keel? Multiple bladders? Hypalon shell? Interior bladders?
Lots of questions... how about the brand / model info and I'd be happy to ask around for you.
To Striblue, & Juro, I have been following inflatables for two years now, and I have reached a decision.
First: I find that in doing most of my fishing lately, between Charlestown, and Watch Hill, that the fish show about 2 casts away most of the time. They make occasional forays to the beach, but are the exception to the rule.
Second: Having a kayak, I now feel that I feel that one is stuck in one position, for the amount of time one wants to fish. If you wanted to fish a shallow flat by wading, one can not get out of a kayak easily. An old man like me usually runs into a problem.
Third: What started me on the inflatable kick, is that the last two years I have watch, in particular, two guys from Ct. Who most weehends can be found catching fish with regularity off of Quonny. They relly do a number on the fish, while myself, from shore am lucky if the fish come in close enough for me to catch one or two.
Conclusion: I have looked at several inflatables, after, first what I wanted to do. One be able to fish streams, ponds, lakes in my area for trout. Second fish the flats in salt ponds of southern RI. Third be able to launch in the surf, if fish are showing offshore. Go clamming.
Boat requirements, Light in weight, I am an old man. Maybe carry another person, although it would be cramped. Beable to get out of the boat on a flat without tipping over. Be able at a later date add a small outboard, maybe. Made of strong material, the one I am purchasing next week, has a 3 year guaranty.
The inflatable I am purchasing weighs. 25 lbs, can carry up to 3 people 600 lb capacity. Will handle a 2 hp motor. With floorboards, one can standup to cast. Carry on my truck inflated, or inflate at the launch site.
Think of this all for the price of a good pair of waders. I , if I want to sell my kayak, keep quiet. If I buy by January 31 I save $50. I am ordering tomorrow, or Tuesday, kind of dragging my feet to see what you guys think.
Art -
I too have been interested in inflatable kayaks for while. I think the convenience of having over water mobility rolled up in my truck bed is very appealing. The inflation process is a bit of a pain but even stopping at a gas station nearest the water is a pretty good option. I read that some even have keel designs to aid tracking, multiple chambers for safety, and they all look comfortable.
You mention "beyond the surf"... do folks fish from them on the other side of the breakers down in RI? I see sea kayaker's recreationally cruising out in the open water around the cape, but most kayak anglers I see are inside bays and estuaries.
The whole inflatable concept is appealing to me. Please keep me posted on what you find out on the topic... I may be joining you this summer in an inflatable kayak purchase.
Well you are right about the weight but it's a trade off I am willing to make...for now. But with all the inlets and if you were think of within 100 yards of shore give or take you can go with the inflatable. I could use the inflatable in Chatham along the south shore beach and then along Morris island to spots on the western shore of South beach. It's just that I would think twice about heading over to north monomoy. Techically I probably could a low tide.
You are certainly right about your kayak with the outriggers. The problem I have with it, is weight, I am old and have problems putting one on my blazer, also the cockpits are small and restrictive. I believe with an inflatable, one has more stability, room, and is light. The one I am interested in weighs 17 pounds. Over the last few years I have seen kayaks in trouble, including myself. I have seen fishermen in inflatables having a time landing one fish after another just beyond the surf line. While I cast from shore as the surf was to large for my kayak. I am surprised that your thoughts were the only ones raised on the board. Thanks
I hear what your saying about kayaks, but I bought a tri-balance kayak and can stand up in it and fish. I also can anchor it on the mononomy flats and get out without tipping over. It really is the best of both worlds. I can take it from Hardings beach right over to north monomoy flats. I would be concerned with an inflatable to make that journey. The tri-balance is not as difficult as people say on manuverabiliy.
I own a kayak, and have had my problems with it, perhaps it me, being old and not as mobile to get out from a round bottom kayak before the next wave rolls you. If you are fishing sand flats, one can not get out without risking a roll over.
Inflatables light in weight, very stable, if you have floorboards you can even stand up to cast. I wonder how many have noticed the commercial where the army drives one right up into a helicopter. Sea Tow even uses them as they can come up to a disable boat without risk of damaging a boat. I am posting this as I have to decide this week as one company has a sale that ends Jan.31. They are very portable the one I am interested in weighs 17 lbs and is about 4 1/2 ft wide and 8 1/2 ft long. It has a 3 year warranty. Just the thing to take, for example, to use in the salt ponds during the worm hatch, or fishing the flats, very quiet, able to get in and out of it quickly, also able to sneak out front of the beachs just out of the surf line a couple of surf casts away. I know it works cause I have seen it done without problems. I can not say that for a kayak. Another thing is you can use a 2 horse power motor. I am interested in everyone's thoughts. The wife isn't very happy, but every boat I buy is the same way. TL artb

This morning I got up and went to the hotel's buffet. I finished early, so I walked around the hotel's garden. It is very nice. I met May at 9:30 in the morning and she took me to visit the Pan Gate.
Day 10: September 18, 2008
This morning I had breakfast in my hotel before meeting May at 9:30. She took me out to where the car was waiting and we headed to the Grand Canal. When we got out of the car we were standing in front of another of Suzhou's remaining city gates. I don't know why, but I really like city gates and walls. We passed through the gate to get to the Grand Canal and where our boats were waiting. We then boarded our boat for our cruise down the canal. Since it was early, there were no other passengers, just May and I.

Have you watched Fox lately? Are you as annoyed as I am by cars driving across the screen or women chasing Joe Millionaire, sometimes with accompanying sound effects? How about E!'s scrolling news ticker every 7 minutes that "squishes" the rest of the image, or their yapping Sugar Pie animation inviting you to view Anna Nicole's show? What about TNN completely cutting off the bottom of the screen with a black bar that usually just tells you what you're already watching? Or how about MTV's various explosions of graphics coming at you from all over the screen, or whenever they miraculously play a real video the text title and credits are massive? Or how about stations like VH1 where their logo never disappears and isn't transparent?
Some of these stupid graphics take up 1/6th of the image and all just so they can continue to annoy you with 16 minutes per hour of advertising! I remember when I thought the translucent FOX logo on the Simpsons was kinda annoying, now I long for the days when it was just that simple. We already have to suffer though 1/4th of our viewing time with commercials, why must they submit us to commercials during the other 3/4ths of the time?

In time for the dark nights
3 comments:
About time too! LED lghts are much smaller and easier to put in your pocket when you park up and are normally more noticable on the road anyway. Many cyclists are use flashing led lights already. They are lighter too.
- 10:48 am, September 17, 2005
how many lights do you have on?? how illuminated is your bike at night?
on my winter bike that i use for commuting ive got up front
1 set of cateye abs 25 lights, 2 photon backup led's in white (wrapped round my forks at 90 degrees, so traffic from side streets can see me) and a topeak white light in flashing mode....
the bike is covered with random bits of scotchlite tape......
on the back ive got 3 led's all in various flashing modes.
and on my rucksak ive got a neon 'rope' light that flashes green
i feel fairly safe with all this on, but its early nights yet, and its not dark in the mornings yet either, its the crazy school run i have issues with, im going to record a run to work with the helmetcam on, and post it somewhere, so people can see how badly others drive.....
thats all from me, thanks for listening, i found this site via mike and his contributions to hamsterley trailblazers forum.

Hi Marie, thanks for the comment.
I just bought a flouro/scotchlite vest for those "not dark enough to put the lights on, but drivers are pretty blind" mornings.
On my commuter bike, I've a Smart 25W twin bean light on the front and a red LED on the rear (constant mode). I have a flashing red LED on my pannier or bag. If I was able to store my bike inside at work, I'd have more lights on, but it's outside so everything needs to be easily removed.
I'm going to stick a load os Scotchlite over the sides of the frame soon, I think. Do Halfords sell it?

text: Let's all look back at a little history. What happened to Russia after they spent 10 years fighting in Afghanistan? Their country collapsed if my memory serves me correctly. To just pull out and throw our hands in the air, would just embolden the camel jockeys. The crazy thing is that we helped the afghans fight russia, and now they are attacking us. Not just the afghans, the entire ME. If we are going to leave, we need to make sure we make a very definitive statement to them that we are not playing with them. We need to really thump them real hard before we leave. The other thing that we need to do is quit playing by the rules of the Geneva Convention. Just kick their tails by whatever means necessary.

Not content to rest on its laurels, Altesino became the first Montalcino estate to introduce the concept of "cru" wines, made with a special selection of grapes from a single vineyard. Elegance, finesse, and a fruitier, richer style are the trademarks of Altesino's wines, and have earned the estate a position among the very top producers of Brunello. This achievement is even more impressive considering Brunello is perhaps the most recognized Italian appellation.
When the winery was purchased at the end of 2002 by the Angelini family, owners of nearby Tenuta Caparzo, winemaker Claudio Basla remained with the estate, emphasizing his commitment to maintaining Altesino's hard-earned reputation as a Montalcino institution and a global leader in innovative winemaking.

BCS or Bust
Posted on 21 Oct 2010 by Nicholas Mosley.
With three teams from non-AQ conferences currently in the top-10 in the BCS polls, is it possible for any of these teams to make it into the national championship? Well if you are a supporter of teams such as the University of Oregon, Oklahoma, or Auburn then most likely you don't think that this can be achieved. For years the BCS has tried to limit non-AQ's from reaching its majestic BCS bowl ...

Results 1 to 6 of 6
Dr_Lew's 29 Gallon Office Aquarium
I am lucky enough to have my own office where I work. It's a nice office, comfortable and with plenty of space. The only real downside is that it is in a basement area, and the only window I have looks out on a concrete embankment. Obviously, I need a bit of nature at the office, so I've set up an aquarium. It's a standard 29 gallon tank with stock 17w hood and stand--nothing fancy, might upgrade the hood eventually, but solid.
I used plain black plastic for the background, Black Daimond 20/40 "sand" for the substrate, and some fake wood ornaments for hardscape. Here's the results so far:
2013-03-19 08.24.42.jpg
That's with the first piece of hardscape. It took some time to acquire the second piece, but I think it was worth it:
2013-03-19 08.34.40.jpg
I'll also be putting in a few small cichlid stones, as I'm wanting to eventually add shrimp and they'll probably want lots of hiding places.
The rest of the hardware consists of an Eheim 150w heater, and will have a Marineland Penguin 250 HOB filter with biowheel once it finishes cycling in my future culture tank. There will also be lots of plants. I'm thinking twisted val, hornwort, anacharis/elodea, water sprite, java moss for ground-cover, and possibly something floating like frogbit or red-root floater if I can find a source, and an amazon sword for a specimen plant. A posse of Maylasian Trumpet Snails will also be added, given the depth of the substrate, and I'll use root tabs to enrich it for the plants.
For other inhabitants, the plan is some mollies--probably plain black or black lyretail--a school of about a dozen celestial pearl danios, and red cherry shrimp for sure. Probably, there will also be otocinclus (eventually) and a dwarf gourami for a centerpiece (withor without girlfirends, not sure yet). If I have room, a school of cories would not be out of the question. That ought to fill the tank up pretty well.
The cycling process for the filter is (finally) nearing completion (that saga is documented in my culture tank journal) so I'm thinking next weekend is probably when I'll move the filter, introduce the snails, plant, and add the first fish (almost certainly the mollies).
I'm quite excited!
Looking good! Excited to see what you do with it :)3 Gallon Planted Betta Tank
4 gallon planted Aqueon Evolve Dwarf Puffer Tank
Well, after finally feeling certain that the filter had a proper cycle (long story, to be related in my 10g culture journal) my 29g is now fully up and running, is planted, and has its first inhabitants.
For plants, I wound up with lots of hornwort, anacharis/elodea, some water sprite (hopefully this will do better for me this time--any tips?) some red myrio, and an amazon sword, which is small just yet, but I'm sure it will grow.
Here's everything before it went in:
2013-04-13 11.14.27.jpg
Of course, the tank is pretty cloudy after all the disturbance, but here is a general pic:
2013-04-13 18.10.15.jpg
The MTS have been transfered over. The largest--and hardiest, it seems--I have nicknamed "big Bertha" and I'm surprisingly fond of "her" given she's a snail.
2013-04-13 16.41.41.jpg
As for fine, finned inhabitants, I'm starting with a quartet of black mollies (1M, 3F). Here they are enjoying their "float the bag" acclimation to their new home:
2013-04-13 16.42.00.jpg
Along with these, I also added 8 ghost shrimp. My original desire had been Red Cherry Shrimp, but the LFS was carrying ghost shrimp, I wanted to support them, and these guys ought to do the job of general scavenging and hair-algae eating. They, of course, were treated to drip acclimation. Here's a shot of two of them in their new home:
2013-04-13 18.12.44.jpg
It's a cell phone shot, so it's pretty iffy, but these guys are definitely a lot of fun to watch.

Looking good! It will also bring some good feng shui to your office.
Thanks, Berylla. Enhancing the office environment is definitely the idea. I'm really enjoying it so far.
Well, yesterday was definitely what I'd call a red-letter day. I now have babies!
There were some startup issues the first week--mainly a mini-cycle causing nitrites to be present. That is probably what cost me two of the four mollies, but the survivors, both females, seem to be doing quite well. As of yesterday, the mini-cycle was officially over, with all wastes being fully converted. So that was a happy milestone. But there was more in store....
Just as I was about to leave for the day, I took one more look at the tank to admire it on my way out, when I caught sight of a very tiny speck hovering at the surface. Sure enough, it was a baby molly. As of this morning, I estimate the little guy or gal has for our five siblings hiding in and among the many plants. Knowing how fecund livebearers are, I'm leaving it up to nature to determine who makes it, and I'll see if my LFS is interested in any of them once they are grown out. Some appear to be sort of silver-grey or olive-drab right now, but some show a hint of more pigmentation.
And speaking of survivors, the shrimp seem to have made it though everything just fine. There are several who are obviously female and heavily berried, though I have no idea if any of the larva can/will make it in my tank with fish and power filtration. I do have the filter intakes screened, so perhaps that will help.

You just finished a run on a warm day and you're hot, tired, and thirsty. Of course you could reach for your favorite neon-hued sports drink, and there's nothing wrong with that. But runners often forget all the other options out there. In fact, research has shown that plenty of other types of beverages (some of which may already be in your refrigerator) have their own healthful qualities and can help you stay hydrated before, during, or after your run.
"Mother Nature has given us a huge range of healthy drinks," says Molly Kimball, R.D., a sports dietitian at Ochsner Elmwood Fitness Center in New Orleans. "They're refreshing and can recharge muscles and benefit performance." And (most important) they taste good, too.
More: 15 Hydration Facts for Athletes
Iced Green Tea
When: Pre- or postrun and on easy runs less than an hour
Why: Green tea is a stellar source of catechins, antioxidants that fight heart disease and cancer. According to research, catechins can reduce muscle damage caused by exercise, and also speed recovery. A recent study found that people who had the equivalent of five cups of green tea daily for three months and exercised lost more belly fat than those who only exercised. Iced green tea is a tasty alternative to water on easy, short runs, says Leslie Bonci, R.D., director of sports nutrition at the Pittsburgh Medical Center. Plus, tea contains caffeine, which boosts speed and endurance. If you drink iced green tea often, go with unsweetened, says Kimball, to avoid taking in excess calories.
Sipping Points: Steep tea bags for at least three minutes to release more catechins. If you buy bottled, choose brands with fewer than 15 grams of sugar per eight ounces.
More: How to Hydrate Before, During, and After a Run
Coconut Water
When: Pre- or postrun or on runs of about 60 minutes
Why: Coconut water, the clear liquid found inside the fruit, contains none of the fat found in coconut milk and has a tangy, light almond flavor. Eleven ounces contain 14 grams of sugar and 670 milligrams of potassium-way more than sports drinks. "Potassium works closely with sodium to maintain water balance and helps trigger muscles to contract and relax optimally," says Suzanne Girard Eberle, R.D., author of Endurance Sports Nutrition. Coconut water has enough carbohydrates for an hour-long run but not enough sodium for longer efforts.
Sipping Points: Coconut water, which is fat-free, comes plain or flavored with mango, orange peel, or passion fruit.
More: Stay Hydrated with High Water Content Foods
Chocolate Milk
When: Postrun
Why: The drink you loved as a kid has the ideal amount of carbohydrates and protein that tired muscles need for recovery, says Joel Stager, Ph.D., director of the department of kinesiology at Indiana University. According to a study Stager led, drinking chocolate milk postexercise speeds up recovery and increases the time it takes to reach exhaustion during a subsequent exercise session better than sports drinks. And a 2007 British study found that regular milk is better than water or a sports drink at restoring fluid levels following a bout of exercise in the heat. Plus, milk contains bone-strengthening vitamin D and calcium.
Sipping Points: Single-serving containers are handy for tossing into a cooler for a postrun treat and for portion control.

Swine influenza in humans
Most swine influenza viruses (SIVs) do not cause disease in humans. However, some countries have reported cases of human infection with SIVs. Most of these human infections have been mild and the viruses have not spread further to other people. The H1N1 virus that caused the influenza pandemic in 2009-2010, thought to have originated in swine, is an example of an SIV that was able to spread easily among people and also cause disease.
Because pigs can become infected with influenza viruses from a variety of different hosts (such as birds and humans), they can act as a "mixing vessel," facilitating the reassortment of influenza genes from different viruses and creating a "new" influenza virus. The concern is that such "new" reassortant viruses may be more easily spread from person to person, or may cause more severe disease in humans than the original viruses. WHO and animal health sector partners are working at the human-animal interface to identify and reduce animal health and public health risks within national contexts.

Topic: Happy Anniversary to Me!
Hello CC Family: Today marks my 4th year on this wonderful Cholangio Carcinoma Web Site. I could not have handled what I have had to do as Teddy's Caretaker without the help from so many caring, loving and brilliant people from all over the World. Never, have I seen so many helping each other even in their own time of need. It is truly inspirational.
I know that this CC site is what has given me the strength to do what needs to be done as my Oncologist has recently confirmed this to me. So I thank you all as each of you has had a part in giving me strength. I look forward to spending more years here as I am truly addicted. I have seen other WEB Sites and they do not compare to this one so a huge thank you to our Board also.
And in the words of Teddy, when he can't think of the word he needs, he is grateful too for Angelo Carcinoma. See, he made it Italian and his own.
Love to all of you and and from our house to yours we wish you good healing and health. Love Teddy & Lainy
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

Thanks to recent treatment advances, many people diagnosed with liver cancer today can expect to survive the disease. But experience counts.
Thanks to recent treatment advances, many people diagnosed with liver cancer today can expect to survive the disease. But experience counts. Each year, our surgeons perform hundreds of procedures to remove liver tumors, in many cases using minimally invasive approaches (laparoscopy and robotics) and image-guidance systems that improve the chances for a faster recovery. We also routinely offer treatment to people whose tumors are considered inoperable at other hospitals.
Learn more about Memorial Sloan Kettering's approach to surgery for liver cancer, and other aspects of our approach to care in our newly updated guide to liver cancer . Information on how we diagnose and stage the cancer is available, as well as ways to prevent liver cancer or be screened for it if you are at high risk.
Specialized Care
Our expert multidisciplinary team offers comprehensive, personalized care that will give you the best chance to cure or control your illness. These specialists meet weekly to review cases, bringing a range of clinical perspectives and experiences to the development of a treatment for each person.
Many of our patients are offered participation in our clinical trials program exploring new and innovative treatments. This program is one of the largest in the country, and we are one of the few facilities experienced in treating rare forms of liver cancer such as fibrolamellar-hepatocellular carcinoma.
As a comprehensive cancer center we also understand that fighting cancer and coping with the aftereffects of treatment can be overwhelming. Our experts are skilled in identifying and managing symptoms and complications, and we offer a variety of survivorship support services to help you and your loved ones cope with the emotional and logistical concerns of being treated for liver cancer.
