Galveston Island State Park Master Plan to be Unveiled at Open House
AUSTIN – The last of three scheduled public meetings on the master plan design for redeveloping hurricane-damaged Galveston Island State Park will be held Thursday, May 5, on the Texas A&M Galveston campus.
The Galveston Island State Park master plan open house will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Lecture Theater & Foyer of the Ocean and Coastal Studies Building #3029 on the university campus at 200 Seawolf Parkway. For more information about the meeting, contact Galveston Island State Park superintendent Trey Goodman at (409) 737-1222.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will be presenting the final master plan design concept for Galveston Island State Park that will provide the guiding framework for rebuilding the park that was severely damaged by Hurricane Ike three years ago. The public will have a chance at the May 5 open house to view the design concept developed by StudioOutside (formerly MESA Design) and the Dallas firm's partners.
StudioOutside and its team of consultants were charged with creating a design that will transform the island park into a premiere destination within the Texas state park system, in part by utilizing such sustainabledesign which is symbiotic with the natural, cultural, and recreational elements of the park..
The public was given an opportunity to provide input into the redevelopment design plan through an online survey and two public meetings last year.
Depending on the availability of funds, the earliest construction would begin is autumn of 2011, according to Tony Bettis, regional project manager for TPWD's Infrastructure Division.
Galveston Island State Park is currently open seven days a week and offers full services on the bay side and limited camping and day use facilities on the beach side until a master plan is developed, environmental assessment completed and permanent facilities rebuilt. The 2,013-acre park occupies a sliver of land at the midway point of the barrier island about six miles southwest of the western tip of the popular sea wall. The bay side provides public access to about 600 acres of grasslands with coastal scrub and scattered oak mottes, as well as hundreds of additional acres of saltwater sloughs, wildlife-rich wetlands and tidal bayous.
Galveston Island State Park hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The park office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. The park entry fee for persons 13 and older is $5.
Visitors can reach Galveston Island State Park from FM 3005 (Seawall Boulevard). For more information, call the park at (409) 737-1222.

Heya Guys,
This stuff is completely new to me since iVe never actually been much of a modeller or cosplayer and all that, Ive always been a painter and more recently a potter.
Im struggling to find employment at the moment and with all the bills and so forth my budget is extremely limited at about £20 a month to get this new 'Mandalorian' Armour project going. But hit a few snags already and wanted to share my obstacles with others interested in doing a budget build.
SO Budget budget budget. Now I initially thought of going cardboard then fibreglass coating which I felt would be the cheapest as i had a couple of large cardboard boxes. And I started with earnest with the thinner 3mm cardboard boxes. Boy was that a mistake as it seems my templates were missing some key cm's lost from printing outside of the printable area on the large templates. (yup im a big headed 6'4" giant that can't squeeze into an official stormtrooper costume). And the cardboard boxes remaining once id corrected this issue were 5mm and a nightmare to bend especially when not cut so that the bends follow the corregation. Ad to that coats of fibreglass, sanding and all that means its going to be about £20 for the fibreglass and sand paper from my local Halfords.
So I was looking for an easier alternative that doesnt charge an arm and a leg. And while being a UK resident 'Sintra' though highly recommended seems to cost the best part of £200 (ebay 10x1m sheets for £160 +£66 postage seems a little excessive, but seemed the cheapest I could find on Ebay) If others have a UK source of it not having to be bought in as much bulk for less it would be appreciated if you could share the source. One individual here stated the unbranded PVC foam board alternative to Sintra available in the UK isn't even in the same ball park as a crafting material and is next to useless. Plus its a little expensive too. And since you can buy a Replica resin Boba Fett helmet for £150 it begs to ask the question, why Sintra?
So a couple of other alternatives I was looking at was Plastazote Foam.Again this is a brand name like sintra but is essentially a cross-linked closed cell polyethylene nitrogen expanded foam. The recommended density/rigidity is LD33 or LD45 (basically the measurement of kilograms per meter cubed; kg/m3) This has the same properties of Sintra without the plastic coating and a sheet of 1 square meter at 6mm thickness can cost around £8 plus postage. The other benefit to Plastazote foam is that it can be stretched and moulded into rounded shapes alot easier. The Disadvantage of the foam however is that it feels and looks like foam making it difficult to have a smooth surface (unless ofcourse you coat it in 3 coats of PVA white glue, sand it down finely and spray or paint is with plastic primer or liquid plastic, at about the same cost you would use fibreglass on cardboard or a sintra bucket. Plus its still a little flexible even plastic coated and lightweight. Has anyone tried using this for a bucket yet?
Plastazote Foam 1000x660x6mm - red
Plastazote Closed Cell Sheeting Black 2 metre x 1 metre x 6 mm
and Plastic Primer can be bought from Halfords for about £7 for 300ml (be aware its a 16+ age requirement to purchase.
Lastly another alternative is Worbla (another trademark and not entirely sure if it has a U.S. equivalent, but is basically a plastic/wood composit that has the same properties as Sintra in that it can be heat moulded into various shapes with the added benefit that with more heat will turn into a modelling clay like putty to mould into whatever shape you want and cools to harden, great for the ear peices and stalk as well as any releif you want to add whether its ornamentation etc, or you can just roll the craps out flat again and reuse the cuttings as a new smaller sheet. Prices vary but is about £5 for an A4 sheet (210x297mm), and can be bought in 750x1000mm sheets for £30. Its thin at 1mm which means its easily cut with a pair of scissors or knife, but possibly too thin for a bucket, despite its relative strength?
Plastics & Foam - Coscraft
So these are the materials Im currently looking at if someone has any experience with any of them id appreciate their input.
Ive already spent £10 on a glue gun and a few sticks and been given a free Heat Gun, Bonus! And already have a cutting board and craft knives sO im close to starting my bucket!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I was published in the Summer 2010 Issue of Broken Pencil: The Magazine of Zine Culture and the Independent Arts! Broken Pencil is based in Toronto, Canada. I met the editor, Lindsay, at the Buffalo Small Press Book Fair in March of this year. She asked me to write something for the "Zine Philosophy" section of the mag - why I make zines, my inspiration, and "philosophy" about them. I did mine zine-style - handwritten and illustrated. It's so exciting to be published!
Some of my drawings are included in the fabulous "An Artful Agenda" planners and agenda books. Check out the shop. These are really wonderful planners, full of illustrations on each page from 8 different artists. Stephanie McDonald, the proprietress and designer, is contributing 5% of all proceeds from sales towards art education in public schools. And the interior pages are printed on 100% recycled paper! Pictured above is the cover art by Kelly Bertram, and a couple of interior pages with my illustrations. The new August to August Planners just came out, but there are a whole range of products - a Lesson Planner, Universal Agenda (undated), and blank Diary.

No NAV With HUD
I need some help from you guys. My HUD works fine but I've never had the nav instructions show up on it when there is a route going. I looked in an old forum and 3 people, each of whom had an 09 (non V) had their problems solved by a firmware update. I took my car into the dealer and they said I am up to date and that I need a new nav for $27xx. Based my past with this dealer, my confidence that they are correct in saying my firmware is fully updated is 0.
I'd like you guys to check under the diagnostics screen what your versions are. Some may know how to do this but for those who don't, the instructions are as follows:
Put the car into acc, on, or start.
Get to the map screen by pressing the globe hard key.
Press "menu" soft key.
Above the "memory points" soft key, and directly across from the title "nav menu" is a blank space. Press and hold your finger down there for about 5 seconds until a keypad appears. You are basically pressing on a hidden soft key.
When the keypad appears, type in 295660 for 2008+ cars (9448 for older.)
There are two screens we're concerned with. The "parts info" and the "soft rel."
Under parts info, what is your "navi version?"
What is your soft rel?
I'm really asking this of 2008 (and 2009?) guys because of the HUD. I'm assuming you guys get the nav stuff showing up on the HUD just fine.
Last night I unplugged all the nav plugs in the back and reconnected. No dice. What I'm hoping and expecting to hear from you is that your versions are different from mine which would tell me that in fact I do need a firmware update.
Just a tip, if you guys are on your iPhones or whatever, take a screen shot of these instructions so you can refer to them while you're pulling the info up.
Thanks in advance for taking the time out to do this crap. Appreciate it.
For your reference, here is the old thread I'm referring to. http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...-show-hud.html.

Definitely sounds like that's what you need. Maybe you could try calling that dealer in WA and see if that service advisor is still there. See if he's willing to talk to your incompetent dealer.
I can't help with the version number because I have an 06 and no HUD. I bet HUD is cool, but oh well, just happy to have a V.
Re: No NAV With HUD
Way ahead of ya Carter. Called that dealer up, the guy doesn't work there anymore so I brought it up to the service guy and he was freakin clueless. Knowledge was not passed on. So I said thanks anyway.
Thanks for your help though. And yeah the HUD is really nice. Kills me that the cts never got it. Don't think the escalade did either. Vette did though.
Re: No NAV With HUD
Hey I know it's probably a bit of an annoyance but if I could get just 1 08+ who has this feature functioning to check these numbers it would allow me to move forward with this. Thanks again guys.
Re: No NAV With HUD
I will try to check tonight when I get home. And yes mine works fine.
Re: No NAV With HUD
Thanks a lot man.
Hey Guy, I was messing around with the NAV DVD in the computer tonight and found another diagnostic pin code that works on the 08+ model for sure.
It's "3657"
It gives a couple more options for diagnostics.
There is also a second page of software version information.

Re: No NAV With HUD
Ah yeah I see that. Nice. I'm gonna play around with that a little. Thanks a lot.
Do you have HUD?
Re: No NAV With HUD
I do have HUD w/ACC, but my car is 08 non-V.
a coupld of links to other Nav related.
based on what I remember about those threads I would have to bet that dealers are really only aware of the 05-07 model firmware upgrade due to the TSB.
I would wonder if the software update could be applied by the dealer if they manually went into the S/W update section on the Nav then used the TechII.
The TSB from 07 says:
Verify that the software versions are (post upgrade):
- Navigation system software version = 0FC1
- Audio system software version = 010C
What it also says (which I think may be mis-read / overlooked by most) is:
Important: If the navigation system software is the same or higher than version 0FC, the software update will not start and the navigation software update is not necessary. DO NOT insert disc 2 into the radio.
I bet that most read that as if it has 0FC then no update is possible, BUT the disc 1 update is still able to be done.

Re: No NAV With HUD
After some (ok a lot of) time searching on the web I found this blog that had a python script made that claimed to be able to display some info from the nav disc and 'extract modules' from the disc as well.
combined with some information from:
There was a minor typo in his python script that I fixed on my local copy so that it would function.
basically there is an offset in the loading.kwi file that makes it less readable with a hex editor, the extract module function corrects the offset from what I can tell and makes HEX editor viewing better.
There seems to be a community of people modifying their Audi Nav unit and some other units, so it was pure chance this even was able to get anything.Code:
t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ ls -lh -r-xr-xr-x@ 1 ludacrisvp staff 11M Jul 25 18:03 LOADING.KWI -rw-r--r--@ 1 ludacrisvp staff 6.3K Aug 13 07:36 kiwi.py t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ chmod +x kiwi.py t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ nano kiwi.py t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ ./kiwi.py usage: kiwi [-v|-x] [-o outputdir] -d <dvd directory> -v list modules contained in the LOADING.KWI FILE -x extract modules from the LOADING.KWI file -d directory where the DVD is mounted -o target dir to extract modules into t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ ./kiwi.py -v -d . number of systems found: 1 System 1 Manufacturer ID: DENSO Number of modules in this system: 1 Module 1: Name: GE14 Version: 1350 Category: Program Address: 0x800 Size: 10.8 MB t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ ./kiwi.py -x -d . -o . extracting modules into .... GE14 t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ ls -lh -rw-r--r-- 1 ludacrisvp staff 11M Aug 13 07:39 GE14 -r-xr-xr-x@ 1 ludacrisvp staff 11M Jul 25 18:03 LOADING.KWI -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 ludacrisvp staff 6.3K Aug 13 07:38 kiwi.py t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ file GE14 GE14: data t110-osx:nav ludacrisvp$ file LOADING.KWI LOADING.KWI: raw G3 data, byte-padded
Not sure what disc this loading.kwi is from (this one in particular doesn't mention the 3657 code).
The kwi file compresses quite well, the 11.4MB file was only about 4MB after being compressed, I'm thinking we should start collecting loading.kwi files from any/all Denso Nav discs for any make/model and see what we can find. Land Rover and Jaguar use Denso based navigation in some models so there might be something to be learned from them.
But it does for some reason mention "2003 KENWOOD CORPORATION" in the file, in addition to DENSO references.
Here is a copy of the kiwi.py file that has the typo corrected from his blog.
If you have access to a Linux/Unix/Mac machine you can copy the code from the section below into a file called kiwi.py and run it from terminal.Code:

$ ./kiwi.py -x -d /Volumes/<DVD_Drive> -o /Users/<username>/Desktop/Nav (replace <DVD_Drive> with the correct path, like DW464210-7740, and replace <username> with your username)
Like 660, 9448 which we already know about and then there was -> 3657, 3366 next to them as well, so I ran out to the car and tried both and the first one worked.
3657 seems to give the most diagnostic features for the 08+ model (looks like it matches what the 9448 code provides 05-07 models based on screen captures).
.... Brain exploded...

Re: No NAV With HUD
Well my audio version is 2.01 and my navi is 0070. So based on the navi alone, mine and yours, Luda, are off. And since your nav and HUD work together, and we both have 2008+, I truly believe I need a firmware update.
I absolutely believe that you're right in saying that since there isn't a tsb for 2008+ the dealers assume its updated. I have to venture away from my local dealer and find one that knows what they're doing. Thanks so much Luda.

The trees, animals, and buildings, etc. come from the AllSilhouettes.com vector clip art collections.
For example, the little giraffe comes from this collection: http://all-silhouettes.com/free-vector-animals/ and the big giraffe comes from this collection: http://all-silhouettes.com/vector-african-animals/ And you can see some of the trees come from this one: http://all-silhouettes.com/vector-trees-2/
yes that's right your links are correct.I guess that if it has not been rejected it's because i use vector librairies in a creative way and i don't base the design on it.This one was made at the same time that my first print on shirtwoot, Astral Ark.By reading your comment i have the feeling it was easy to achieve this, just had to download a couple of vector and smash it on a canvas, without thinking of it.So easy and fast.It was not the case, there are a lot of little details and scenes.I had to create a set of vector brush to complete the spatial gate, and tested a lot of stuff before beiing happy of the results.Then i had to fix details to keep it logical , in perspective,balance , shape, in a word, something realistic.So yes you're right i was lazy after 3 days on it, and used vector librairies for the animals,the trees, some buildings,characters and helicopters.

Wildlife Regulations and the Georgia Teacher
Animals in the Classroom
The use of animals in the classroom, either alive or preserved, gives the Georgia educator exciting opportunities to teach. However, many laws and regulations must be observed. The various rules concern:
Familiarity with a few basic legal definitions is crucial to a thorough understanding of wildlife laws. Here are some basic definitions.
Wildlife - refers to those species of animals (mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans, and mollusks) indigenous to Georgia.
Wild Animal - means any animal not indigenous to (exotics) Georgia and not normally a domesticated species. This group would include practically all exotic animals.
Domesticated Species - are those animals that have tradition ally lived in a state of dependence on and under the dominion and control of mankind and have been kept as tame pets or livestock. These may be possessed without permits.
Though this information is not an in-depth coverage of the laws and regulations, many of the primary concerns of educators are addressed. Your local conservation ranger or Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division office is available to answer your questions. You can find the phone number and address for your local office by selecting your county from the list under 'Send a Letter or Give Us a Call' on any of the menu pages on this site. You can also call the Special Permit Unit at 770-761-3044.

The really bad thing is that you will not get a better pitched game than this one. It almost feels wasted. Just a shame the Reds couldn't generate more offense against Vogelsong. His stuff didn't look that exceptional to me.

Reds Fan Since 1971
This game was a great argument for moving Votto up. At the end of the game, with one last gasp, Zack Cozart got a 5th PA and made the final out while Votto languished on deck. The biggest impact of your lineup is who gets the most plate appearances. In a game where offense was hard to come by, Dusty decided it was more important to give the career .251/.290/.405 hitter a plate appearance at the expense of the best hitter in the league.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I was at the game. Most devastated I've been after a Reds loss that I can remember. That was such a winnable game, and they found a way to blow it. I have an awful feeling about this series now.

I like them real well. Bought this one used at a gun show last year. I kept track of the rounds we fired through it. Ater 2,000rds I quit keeping track. It has never failed to fire or eject the case.
Ultra CDP II
In 9mm or .45 I've never had a better shooting or more reliable 3" 1911. Anyone else like them? Dennis
I like them real well. Bought this one used at a gun show last year. I kept track of the rounds we fired through it. Ater 2,000rds I quit keeping track. It has never failed to fire or eject the case.
Ultra CDP II
I have a Kimber Pro CDP II in .45 acp - I added a crimson trace laser site and I love them both - lot's of shots down range now and never a burp.
Too bad I'm NOT A BETTER SHOOT!
I had issues with mine and continue to have issues. It stovepiped a lot during the 500 round break in. It doesn't stovepipe much now. Now it won't pull the empty shell out of the chamber. Guys at the gunshop think it may be magazine related. The round slides forward in the magazine and won't allow the spent round to slide out of the chamber. It's a very frustrating problem. I love the gun and carry it everyday. The performance has me a little concerned. Still watching my technique to make sure I'm not causing the problem.
Mine in 9 m.m is not even broke in yet , and it has "stovepiped" a couple times ...
but it was so expensive and is such a handsome gun - I am willing to shoot it alot more with different ammo and mags before I ever even contemplate saying anything negative about it !
I bought a Wilson Combat mag for mine to see if it would work better. Haven't made it to the range yet. I also switched back to the regular steel mag instead of the stainless mags.
Went to the range this weekend with the new Wilson Combat mag. After about 120 rounds, it started not pulling the shell out of the chamber again. It is getting very frustrating. I am shooting my own reloads but, they are a mid-range in power. I rented a 4" Kimber at the range and it was easier to shoot, as expected. Thinking about trading the Ultra for the Pro??
I just picked mine up Friday......100 rounds through it with zero issues so far.
Without ever reading any 1911 forums before I bought the gun and always admiring Kimbers in magazines and at the range, decided I was going to have one for my 40th birthday. From the time I placed my order for an Ultra CDP 2 until the time it was in my hands I had plenty of time to read online "reviews" of Kimbers and I have to admit, I was pretty scared and started second guessing my purchase. So many Kimber-haters out there I've noticed; people who obviously have a grudge against Kimbers peruse a Kimber-centric forum only to get their digs in. I was scrambling to buy aftermarket mags because I was convinced the mag Kimber was sending me was gonna be crap. I had already begun telling myself to forgive any failures of any kind during the first 500 rounds and chalk it up to breaking-in process etc. If only I had bought anything other than a 3" Kimber since it is destined for failure...psh. I took the gun into my possession, cleaned it and oiled it and took it out to the range. Fired 200 rounds of various 230 grain FMJ ball ammo and didn't have 1 failure of any kind, in either of the Kimpro tac mags I bought nor the stock mag they sent me. I have plenty of other guns but not one has ever been as accurate as my CDP II on my first day at the range. Maybe problems existed in the past, Kimber has making guns for a long time. Maybe a gun or two slip through the QC cracks once in awhile but what doesn't for any manufacturer? Does all the hate come from folks who simply think they can get a comparable gun for half the price, prolly. Whatever, if you don't like Kimber then don't buy one. Go on any insert_manufacturer gun forum and you'll see plenty of posts on broken/problem guns. I'm glad I got my Kimber - best gun in my small arsenal. No regrets at all.
I know what you mean about so many Kimberly haters.
But I experience the same results with my Kimber that you did .... No problems at all.
It makes me think there might just be some Kimber envey out there

You have three pairs of major salivary glands under and behind your jaw — parotid, sublingual and submandibular. Many other tiny salivary glands are in your lips, inside your cheeks, and throughout your mouth and throat.
Salivary gland cancer most commonly occurs in the parotid gland, which is just in front of the ear.
Treatment for salivary gland cancer often involves surgery. Other treatments for salivary gland cancer may include radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Signs and symptoms of salivary gland cancer may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you.
Having a lump or area of swelling near your salivary gland is the most common sign of a salivary gland tumor, but it doesn't mean you have cancer. Most salivary gland tumors are noncancerous (benign). Many other noncancerous conditions may lead to a swollen salivary gland, including an infection or a stone in a salivary gland duct.
It's not clear what causes salivary gland cancer.
Doctors know salivary gland cancer occurs when some cells in a salivary gland develop mutations in their DNA. The mutations allow the cells to grow and divide rapidly. The mutated cells continue living when other cells would die. The accumulating cells form a tumor that can invade nearby tissue. Cancerous cells can break off and spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body.
Many different types of salivary gland cancer exist. Doctors classify salivary gland cancer based on the type of cells involved in the tumor. The type of salivary gland cancer you have helps your doctor determine which treatment options are best for you.
Types of salivary gland cancer include:
Factors that may increase your risk of salivary gland cancer include:
Tobacco use increases the risk of many types of head and neck cancers, but it doesn't appear to play a role in the development of salivary gland cancer. However, one type of noncancerous salivary gland tumor, called Warthin tumor, is associated with tobacco use.
If you have any signs or symptoms that worry you, make an appointment with your family doctor or dentist.
If your doctor or dentist suspects you may have a salivary gland tumor, you may be referred to a surgeon who specializes in operations involving the head and neck (maxillofacial surgeon). Other specialists involved in treating salivary gland cancer may include doctors who treat cancer (oncologists) and doctors who specialize in head and neck problems (otorhinolaryngologists).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and know what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For salivary gland cancer, some basic questions to ask include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose salivary gland cancer include:
After your cancer is diagnosed, your doctor will determine the extent (stage) of your cancer. Your cancer's stage determines your treatment options and gives your doctor an idea of your prognosis.
Cancer stages are identified by Roman numerals, with stage I indicating a small, localized tumor and stage IV indicating an advanced cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in the neck or to distant parts of the body.
Treatment for salivary gland cancer depends on the type, size and stage of salivary gland cancer you have, as well as your overall health and your preferences. Salivary gland cancer treatment usually involves surgery, with or without radiation therapy.
Surgery for salivary gland cancer may include:
Salivary gland surgery can be difficult because several important nerves are located in and around the glands. For example, a nerve in the face that controls facial movement runs through the parotid gland.
Removing tumors that involve important nerves may require damaging the nerves, causing partial paralysis of your face (facial droop). Surgeons take care to preserve these nerves whenever possible. In some cases, severed nerves can be repaired with nerves taken from other areas of your body.
Radiation therapy uses high-powered energy beams, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. During radiation therapy, you lie on a table while a machine moves around you, directing high-powered beams at specific points on your body.
A newer type of radiation therapy that uses particles called neutrons may be more effective in treating certain salivary gland cancers. More study is needed to understand the benefits and risks of this treatment. Neutron radiation therapy isn't widely available in the United States.
Radiation therapy can be used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that might remain. If surgery isn't possible because a tumor is very large or is located in a place that makes removal too risky, radiation alone may be used to treat salivary gland cancer.
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill cancer cells.
Chemotherapy may be an option for people with advanced salivary gland cancer that has spread to distant areas of their bodies. Chemotherapy isn't currently used as a standard treatment for salivary gland cancer, but researchers are studying its use.
No complementary or alternative medicine treatments can cure salivary gland cancer. But complementary and alternative medicine treatments may help you cope with salivary gland cancer and the side effects of cancer treatment.
Many people undergoing radiation therapy for cancer experience fatigue. Your doctor can treat underlying causes of fatigue, but the feeling of being utterly worn out may persist despite treatments.
Complementary therapies can help you cope with fatigue. Ask your doctor about trying:
Learning you have salivary gland cancer can be frightening. Each person deals with a cancer diagnosis in his or her own way. With time you'll discover ways of coping that work for you. Until then, you might find some comfort if you:
Learn enough to feel comfortable making treatment decisions. Ask your doctor for details about your cancer — the type, stage and treatment options. The more you know, the more comfortable you may feel when making treatment decisions.
Ask your doctor to recommend reliable sources of information where you can learn more. Good places to start include the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society.
Connect with other cancer survivors. Other cancer survivors can offer unique support and insight because they understand what you're experiencing. Connect with other cancer survivors through support groups in your community.
Ask your doctor about support groups or contact your local chapter of the American Cancer Society. Online support groups also are available.
Each year, more than 250 people with salivary gland cancer receive care at Mayo Clinic. This experience means your care team is prepared with knowledge and resources to provide you with exactly the care you need.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., and Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for cancer by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic also ranks among the Best Children's Hospitals for cancer.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral.

|A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a sample I was working on that would allow one to apply a layer of governance to their WebSphere CloudBurst patterns. Earlier this morning, I posted the sample to the WebSphere CloudBurst Samples Gallery under the 'Sample CLI Scripts for WebSphere CloudBurst' section. The name of the new sample is 'Check WebSphere CloudBurst patterns', and you can download it here.
|As hinted in my earlier post, the new sample is a simple way to check your patterns against assertions you supply in a properties file. It allows you to check that patterns contain the correct parts and scripts, and it allows you to verify that they were built from valid images. The assertion format is pretty basic, but it should be flexible enough to allow you to check patterns against a wide array of requirements. The sample archive includes a readme file that explains exactly how to use the script, and it contains a sample assertions file to give you an idea of the input syntax.
|I hope this helps to address some of the requirements of many WebSphere CloudBurst users that told me they were in need of a way to apply governance to their patterns. If you have any questions about the sample, please let me know. Alternatively, if you have another idea or a problem you would like to see addressed by a sample in our gallery, please let me know.

ESPN's Law: On the move again?
Keith Law is a unique figure in baseball, a person who has shifted between front-office and media positions.
He soon may be on the move again.
Law, a senior baseball writer for ESPN.com, interviewed last week for a number of front-office roles with the Houston Astros, including the job of scouting director, according to major-league sources.
Law met with both new club president George Postolos and general manager Jeff Luhnow, but the team has yet to offer him a position, sources say.
In his current job, Law oversees ESPN's scouting-related content. Prior to joining ESPN in 2006, he spent 4½ years as a special assistant with the Toronto Blue Jays. Prior to that, he was a free-lance writer for Baseball Prospectus and ESPN.

Blue Hen Mens Golf Team Finishes in 10th Place at Joe Agee Invitational
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- The University of Delaware men's golf squad posted a 304 team score during Tuesday's final round at the Joe Agee Invitational hosted by William & Mary, finishing in 10th place at the tournament.
The Blue Hens, who recorded team scores of 297 and 305 on Monday, placed 10th out of 11 teams with a three-round total of 906. James Madison captured the team title with an 851 score, while Towson was one shot back at 852.
Delaware junior Fraser Graham carded a three over par 74 during Tuesday's round on the par 71, 6,822-yard course at The Williamsburg Club, finishing in a tie for 32nd place in the individual standings with a 12 over par 74-77-74-225.

Additional Information
Flower Color Pink Common Name Tulip Botanical Name Double Late Tulip Danceline Light Requirements Partial shade / Full sun Bloom Time Mid to Late Spring Estimated Mature Height 16-18" tall Optimal planting spread 3-6" wide Planting Season Autumn Planting Depth 6-7" Soil Moisture Average
- Description
DetailsThe most spectacular of all tulips, ruffled and flared petals are splashed and striped with brilliant color combinations. The enormous flowers look spectacular in borders. A sunny location is advisable, since these flowers open up almost completely on a sunny day, which gives a very special effect. They bloom in early April and have height of 16 inches. Bulb Size: 12/+ cm
- How-To-Guides
Tulip Double Touch
Did you know that there are over 3,000 unique varieties of tulips?! Tulips were first introduced to Europe in 1559 and over the next 100 years led to a speculative craze in which single tulip bulbs were sold for over 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman.
Today tulips are loved for their beautiful, upright flowers and gorgeous array of colors.
How to Grow Tulip Bulbs:
1. In the Fall, choose a spot that is mostly sunny or has only light shade. Also make sure that the location has fairly good drainage and does not tend to get waterlogged.
2. Planting tulip bulbs is fairly simple. Bulbs look much like a small onion, sometimes with a spike or point on one side and sometimes with wiry roots growing out of one. Plant with the spike pointing up.
3. Follow the rule of thumb when planting bulbs and give the bulbs at least 2 times their height of soil above them. Dig a 6-7 inch hole, drop the bulb into it and cover with soil.
4. Regarding the spacing between bulbs, if planting in beds, leave approx 5-6 inches between each bulb. If you are planting in containers, you can cluster them a little closer together.
5. After planting, water well so that the soil above the bulbs settles.
6. Tulip bulbs will flower in the spring. After the flowers die back in late spring or early summer, let the plant enjoy a drier, warmer rest period. After leaves die back, stop watering so that the bulb can rest.
7. In cooler zones, you can leave the tulip bulbs in the ground over winter so that they can receive their required period of winter cooling in order to flower the following Spring.
- Shipping Info
Fall Planted bulbs are shipped from September through December.Orders placed before Sept 15:Expect your order to arrive mid September at your location.Orders placed Sept 15 to Dec 15:Orders are shipped the same week that they are placed.

The most famous street marker in the south.
Showing the 80 foot neon sign of the world-famous Crazy Crystals.
Baker Hotel in background.
This most unique sign has been one of my most enduring childhood memories. I was born in 1943 and it was there at that time, I'm sure, because there are other postcards or photographs that have been dated 1940. I got married in 1964, moved to Tennessee with my husband of a year, visited my hometown several times during the 25 years I lived away from Texas, and sometime during that time the sign was removed. I was so sick when I discovered the sign gone. I suppose progress has a way of doing that to you!
There are many websites that tell the story of the healing mineral waters of my hometown of Mineral Wells and the many wells and spas that drew thousands of visitors seeking the rejuvenating powers of these waters. You will find the story of their discovery and the subsequent growth of the town very interesting. I have listed some of them below.
This particular postcard was given to me along with several others by a high school classmate after our 40th class reunion in 2002. I will share them with you as I find time. I hope you click on the front of the postcard so you can see the fine detail of the sign. It is a linen card and has never been mailed.

Woman fears possible mystery shopping scam
Warning signs for spotting scams
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Do you love to shop? If so, you may be tempted to be a mystery shopper this holiday season. You can dine in extravagant restaurants and shop at expensive stores -- and get paid to do it.
One Colorado Springs resident, who asked not to be identified, contacted Target 13 Investigates after she saw an advertisement in a local newspaper asking for secret shoppers. The company is called Second to None Inc.
She was excited at the prospect of a job involving shopping and interacting with people. Since the ad targeted candidates who are 55 years of age or older, she felt she was the perfect match.
After filling out her basic information in the online application, she was asked to enter her bank account information or a PayPal account for payment. She tells Target 13 that since she had not been officially hired by the company, she found it strange that she would have to enter that sensitive information.
"I didn't want to do that. So I thought this is probably one of those scams where they scam older people and then take them for everything they have in their bank account," she said.
Second To None seems like a reputable business. It touts an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and is a member of the Mystery Shopping Provider's Association (MSPA). There are virtually no complaints about the business online and their Facebook page is filled with comments from happy shoppers.
I contacted Second To None to ask why it requires bank account information during the application process. Jeff Hall, President of Second To None, responded, in part:
"A consumer applying to become an independent contractor mystery shopper is indeed asked to indicate their preferred method of payment for work completed. This is considered a standard process among professional mystery shopping service providers. In the case of Direct Deposit, we do ask for their account number and bank routing number, both of which are automatically encrypted on our side. Should the shopper choose Direct Deposit, we are only authorized to make deposits into their account."
Hall went on to say that once an application is submitted, the person is considered an active mystery shopper. On Second To None's Facebook page, I posed the same question and was told the company will be adding a "skip until later" option for bank account information in the application process.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advises mystery shopper candidates to be skeptical of advertisements in newspapers and to look out for these warning signs:
- Require that you pay for "certification."
- Guarantee a job as a mystery shopper.
- Charge a fee for access to mystery shopping opportunities.
- Sell directories of companies that employ mystery shoppers.
- Ask you to deposit a check and wire some or all of the money to someone.
Visit the FTC mystery shopper fact sheet for more information.

text:
This walk starts at the edge of the Castello district and continues into Cannaregio, offering a glance at some of the city's loveliest churches, large and small, a peek into history, and even an urban legend.
Begin at the church of (1) Santi Giovanni e Paolo (Castello 6401), also called San Zanipolo by the Venetians. The Dominican order received the land for the church from Doge Jacopo Tiepolo and construction began in 1246. After nearly 200 years of construction, the Gothic building was finally consecrated in 1430. The grand church is the burial place of many Venetian heroes, including Tiepolo, and contains works by Veronese, Pietro Lombardo, Giovanni Bellini, and others.
Leave the church through the main doors and pause at the facade of what was the (2) Scuola Grande di San Marco, now a hospital. The confraternity building was constructed by Lombardo and Mauro Codussi after a fire destroyed the previous scuola (school) in 1485. The elaborate marble trompe l'oeil panels depict scenes from the life of St. Mark; notice the 15th-century graffiti by the entrance panels.
Turn around and approach the (3) Monumento a Colleoni. This is the monument to the mercenary soldier Bartolomeo Colleoni, who commanded Venetian land forces for two decades. When he died, he left his sizable estate to the Republic on the condition that it place a statue of him in front of St. Mark's. However, by law no statue could be erected in Piazza San Marco, so the Senate approved the monument in front of the Scuola Grande di San Marco, not quite what he had in mind.
Cross the scenic bridge closest to the Scuola Grande di San Marco called (4) Ponte Cavallo, after the Colleoni statue (cavallo means "horse"). Note the bas relief of the Annunciation on the house to the right of the bridge attributed by some to Giusto Le Court. The canal below is Rio dei Mendicanti, named after the Dominicans.
Continue down Calle Larga Giacinto Gallina, once a divided street with separate names for each direction. At the second bridge, look to the right for a glimpse of the Palazzo Widmann, the facade of which was probably designed by Longhena.
Walk along the canal and you will come to the Renaissance "jewel box" church of (5) Santa Maria dei Miracoli (Cannaregio 6075), tucked in among buildings and alongside a canal. This marble-clad church was built by Lombardo to house a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary with child. Save Venice completed a massive ten-year restoration project in 1998, so the small church gleams. Inside is more colored marble, sculptures, a ceiling with portraits of 50 patriarchs and prophets, and of course the miraculous Madonna, said to have resuscitated a drowned man, among other feats.
Once outside the church, return to the bridge and walk straight ahead to Campo Santa Maria Nova. Midway down the campo, turn left and enter the Campiello Santa Maria Nova to admire the (6) Palazzo Bembo-Boldù (Cannaregio 5999), with its large windows and interesting architecture.
Head left out of the Campiello and walk a few moments to the church of (7) San Canciano (Cannaregio 5532), which was founded in the 14th century but was burned, rebuilt, and redone over succeeding centuries. Many visitors are familiar with the church as John Singer Sargent painted three women outside the building in his well-known "Leaving Church, Campo San Canciano, Venice," circa1882.
Leave the church and walk to the next bridge, Ponte San Genzian or Giustinian. On the right is (8) an old double-sided iron hook, which according to urban legend brings good luck; though origins of the hook are unclear, the surrounding marble is worn down from the hands of centuries of passing Venetians.
Keep walking down the narrow street until you come to the (9) Campiello del Cason. Cason means "prison," and this little square was once the site of the prison for the district of Cannaregio. The eighth Doge of Venice, Agnello Participazio (who ruled circa 811-827), lived on the square before the prison was built.
The street zigzags after the campiello; head straight, then make a quick right and a fast left onto Calle del Manganer. The street takes its name from a nearby workshop of a silk and wool maker from the 18th century. Pass through Campo Drio la Chiesa, bearing left to reach the front of the (10) Church Santi Apostoli. The church was rebuilt in the 18th century and contains Tiepolo's "Communion of St. Lucy."
Beyond Santi Apostoli is (11) Strada Nova, a wide street built under Austrian rule, which destroyed all buildings in its path. It's now a commercial street popular with travelers and residents, who pack the strada during their Sunday afternoon walks.
