Here's a short story from a 1960 volume of Reader's Digest Condensed Books, illustrated by Joe Krush.
I should say credited to Joe Krush. While I don't doubt that Joe took the ball and carried it for the majority of this assignment, since we know how often the couple assisted each other, it's highly likely Beth had an uncredited hand in the creation of these images.
Aside from the typically charming quality of these pictures, they also give us an opportunity to take note of Joe's skill in rendering something other than line.
Clearly he was as accomplished with paint and he was with ink.
"The Krushes have received numerous awards and honors for their work. Some of these awards are: Boys' Club Junior Book Award, Boys' Club of America, 1953; Newbery Award, 1957; Newbery Honor book, 1958; Vermont Congress of Parents and Teachers, 1958; Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, 1970; and Helen Keating Ott award for outstanding contribution to children's literature, Churchyard Synagogue Library Association, 1983." ~ The Joe and Beth Krush Papers

I like the John Singer Sargent effect of the first picture shown here, with lots of contrast. Seems as though the watercolor and line work was much more controlled, or completed 'all the way through' without much vignetting of line, and the watercolor wasn't allowed 'to run' and blend into another color or background. Still, very good drawing techniques. Thanks for posting these.ReplyDelete

I don't want a roommate, but an Arch-Nemesis
Why oh why can't roommate ads in Silicon Valley be like this? Here's an ad that caught Burbed reader NYC Exile's attention. Why NYCE was reading NYC Craigslist is a mystery for another day.
And we're reprinting the whole thing because Craigslist ads are about as temporary as 2.8% mortgage rates.
$1 Seeking an Arch-Nemesis Roommate (Williamsburg)
I'm looking to fill the vacant room in my small, two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn with a roommate who is respectful and financially sound, and can double as my arch-nemesis.
If you haven't closed this page yet — which if you did, even though you wouldn't be reading this, would be very arch-nemesis of you — allow me to elaborate.
My arch-nemesis roommate will provide constant combat in the apartment. After living with far too many passive folk, I can say with certainty that I AM READY for this. I'm not looking for a bad roommate, per se (i.e. someone that doesn't clean their dishes or someone that sleeps in my bed when I'm gone), but I am looking for a roommate who is willing to regularly kick my ass, or at least attempt to, so we can create an authentic hero (me) vs. arch-nemesis (you) living arrangement.
Here are my arch-nemesis roommate requirements:
1. You keep our feud inside the apartment. I don't want to fight you outside of the apartment, even if we leave to get groceries or cleaning supplies. Also, I'm not looking for someone that's planning some sort of world domination. Let's keep this between us.
2. You adhere to a standard of cleanliness. This is a big one for me. "Neat Freak" is NOT my hero name, but I am seriously a neat freak. The only time you can choose to not be neat is if it's an initiation for battle, like you filling my room with fertilizer, in which case, get dirty. It'll pay off.
3. You have a normal work schedule. I don't want any freelancers or work-from-homers. I'd like you to have a standard nine-to-five. When I'm at work, you're at work. When I'm home, you're home. Most importantly, when I'm ready for battle, so are you.
4. You don't bring the party home. The only time "bringing the party home" is appropriate is if it's a party with a staged hostage situation. I will try to free the hostage; You will try to stop me. Alternatively, you could just throw a really good party and not invite me.
5. You put your arch-nemesis weaponry away when it's not in use. This is a SMALL apartment with even smaller rooms and even smaller closets. Any weapons, tools, and/or metal suits should be kept to a minimum, and at the very least, should fit comfortably under your bed.
6. Your powers must match or exceed mine. My "powers" are never forgetting to set my alarm clock, playing a few chords on the guitar, and making a decent omelet. In addition to being able to kick my ass, you should be able to sneak into my room to turn off my alarm clock, play the major and minor guitar chords, and make eggs in other variations besides the omelet.
7. You are truly my arch-nemesis. You HAVE to be my arch-nemesis and not just a "villain." There's a big difference. My arch-nemesis is the Darth Vader to my Luke Skywalker, the salt to my slug, the orange juice to my toothpaste. We are the same person, but at the very same time, we're complete opposites.
8. You pay rent on time. Speaks for itself!
DISCRIMINATION WARNING: I'm NOT looking for anyone that actually thinks they are superhuman. If you think you can fly, or are just good at climbing buildings, then good for you. If you can't do these things, you should still feel free to apply. Also, I'm totally okay with a female arch-nemesis. I'm not one of those guys who thinks females weren't "built" to be arch-nemeses. That's silly.
If you think you are truly my arch-nemesis and meet the roommate requirements outlined above, drop me a line and I'll tell you more about the apartment. Or, maybe I won't and that's where things will truly begin.

NYC is one of our many arch-nemesis metros (because Silicon Valley is so awesome we have to have several), so we need some better ads than this to defeat them. Please share if you can find any, and if you can't, then write something better for a rented closet in a Campbell Crapbox.
Update: Heard back from NYC Exile, who says this ad was written by comedian Alex J. Mann. (We'll have you know we found the matching pictures ourselves.) That's kind of a shame that this is professional work product. Could you imagine the roommate wars from a software engineer who needs an arch nemesis just to chill out?

Wayne Rooney has put in a transfer request to leave Manchester United
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Wayne Rooney has put in a transfer request to leave Manchester United.
Last Updated: 13/05/13 10:26am
Speculation in recent days has linked Rooney with moves to Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich or Chelsea in the summer.
The 27-year-old forward was omitted from the squad for Ferguson's final game in charge at Old Trafford, a 2-1 win against Swansea, fuelling the rumours of an impending exit.
And Ferguson confirmed after the match that Rooney has asked to leave the club but indicated that he is still hopeful the England international will change his mind.
"I don't think Wayne was keen to play, simply because he's asked for a transfer," the Scot told Sky Sports.
"I think he wants to think things through in his own mind. I think that's a good idea. We're not going to let him go.
"I think he's maybe a bit frustrated at being taken off once or twice in the past few weeks."
This is the second time that Rooney has asked to leave Old Trafford, also requesting a move in October 2010 before agreeing a new deal with the club.
Sky Sports' Gary Neville says the striker needs to sort himself out.
"Wayne is an emotional lad and you can see in the last couple of months he hasn't quite been himself," said Neville.
"Wayne Rooney wears his heart on his sleeve. He fights every refereeing decision. But he has been a bit vacant on the pitch. You can see something is wrong.
"But there is nowhere to go from here. I have seen players join Real Madrid and other great clubs in Europe. But they always want to come back.
"If you play for this club for 20 years it is not a bed of roses. You struggle mentally at times. He will be going through a difficult moment.
"But in a couple of weeks he will be coming away with England. Then he needs to have the summer off and hopefully get his head back to being a Manchester United player."
Neville feels Rooney's family, and agent Paul Stretford, have a crucial role to play over the next few weeks.
"This is a good kid," said Neville. "He needs to surround himself with his family and his players. The ones who have been here for a long time will bring him round.
"He is not someone who will make rash decisions but he needs people around him to give him good advice. He has an agent and friends. They need to be giving him the right advice.
"This is the only club he should be playing at."
The comments came at the end of an emotional afternoon at Old Trafford with Ferguson urging Manchester United's fans to stand by David Moyes next season.
"I would like to remind you this club stood by me in bad times, the players and the staff," he said. "Your job now is to stand by the new manager."
Ferguson paid personal tribute to Paul Scholes, who started today's game and will also retire in the summer, and Darren Fletcher, who continues his recovery from a chronic bowel condition.
And he insisted he would still be a regular presence at Old Trafford.
"I will be able to go along and watch them rather than suffer with them," he said.
"Those last minute goals, the comebacks and even the defeats are part of this great football club. It has been an unbelievable experience."
Robin van Persie could not hide his delight to be involved in the occasion and added: "It is amazing. Only in my wildest dreams could I have imagined it would be like this.
"It is just a dream come true. We have got some fantastic players so hopefully we will win even more."
Asked about Ferguson's decision to retire, Van Persie added: "It was a really sad day. Everyone understands it and is very thankful to him.
"From my point of view, I think it is a massive honour to have worked with him for one year.
"Even though it was only one year and I haven't worked with him a lot, it has been an unbelievable year and he's made such an impact.
"He's a great manager and an even greater person. The way he is and the way he works with players, he deserves all the credit because he has been amazing."

Increase in distracted driving
Re: "Driving while phoning," Jan. 20 letter to the editor.
Letter-writer Dick Dunn, a victim who suffered serious injuries at the hands of a cellphone abuser, strikes a critical chord in underlining the importance of implementing laws that recognize the gravity of any kind of distracted driving.
The digital age has led to the most seriously misplaced priorities in the history of the automobile. Far too many drivers deny the fact that stepping behind the wheel of a car means assuming responsibility for the use of a lethal weapon. And Colorado's legalization of cannabis heralds new dangers in uncharted waters as the glazed and red-eyed fire up their engines.
How many times do we have to read about another fatality caused by the drunken, the drugged, digital addicts, and other careless drivers before the consequences of irresponsible driving become commensurate with the crime?
Roger W. Helfrich, Denver

What could be more fun than making Reindeer pancakes for breakfast on Christmas morning. Let the kids help make their own. Or maybe you want to make Snowman pancakes, which are even easier. Our family loves making fun pancake shapes for weekend breakfasts. Easy recipe and easy to make, kid-friendly too.
Items needed:
- Pancake mix
- Eggs
- Vegetable oil
- Milk
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring
- Plastic squeeze bottles
Make pancake mix according to directions on package. Prepare batter using directions for 2 cups pancake mix. Divide batter into containers. For reindeer, mix ½ cup batter and 5 drops red food coloring. For green batter, use ½ cup mix and 4 drops green food coloring. Leave remaining batter as is.
Pour each color batter into a squeeze bottle. Heat griddle to medium heat. For reindeer, make a dot for eye, then add plain batter on top of eye to form a 2 inch circle. Add a red nose and a red collar. To form antlers, make a thin line touching head and then make a small branch coming from first part of antler. Antlers will spread, so only make a fairly thin antler.

Yeah, I really didn't do that , did I? I didn't put out a great big Merry Xmas or a Happy New Year on the day of. To be honest, I didn't even think about it.
My Christmas was spent with family, as I hope you had the chance to be with those you hold dear.
My New Year's Eve and Day was spent with my wife and children. I wouldn't change it for the world.
I don't really have resolutions this year, which is a first. I can't say I have many goals, though I could mention one or two. Do I want to do stuff, to get things done this year?
You bet.
So, here are some of my hopes for this year.
I hope to get into the Air Force some time this year. My dental issues are taken care of. All I need to do is pass MEPS, and I'll be one step closer. This has been well over a year, maybe even a year and a half now. Have I doubted my course? Of course I have. But, tenacity is all about staying in the game even when things get hard.
I want to be tenacious this year.
I want to write more this year. Perhaps you've seen the 500 words .gif at the upper right hand corner of the screen. It is a challenge by Jeff Goins to write 500 words per day. My January 2 is about over. This will probably post on January 3rd…but, this is my 500 words for January 2nd. 🙂
It's not that I'm going to be a professional writer. Not at all. I want to be a USAF Chaplain, remember? But I do want to write in a consecutive, meaningful way. I may not write my book to be published, but I will write for the month of January…at least.
I want my legendary cloak, dangit! Surely, I can get that done this year. Right?
Finally, a little other WoW related hope. I want to flex raid a bit. I realy want that BoA bow that drops from Garrosh. I have a Horde hunter that is geared for it, but my Alliance hunter is a little undergeared at the moment. If you have a time on Monday mornings, or just about any other evening, please let me know. I'm good most nights but Wednesdays.
My dirty little desire is to one day make it on the Twisted Nether Blogcast. But, don't tell Fimlys or Hydra now about it. It would feel to much like a pitty invite if I was able to be on any time soon. But still, wouldn't that be the coolest thing ever! I mean no offense to The Tauren Think Tank, Convert to Raid Podcast, The Instance, Azeroth Round Table, and the many others that are out there. But, Fimlys and Hydra have it going on, YO!
Yes, a 40 year old nerdy, southern, white dude just said "YO!"
I want to do at least one ZKI™ this year. Time to get started on that.
I hope you all have a blessed 2014.
May each day grow in light, love and happiness.

Preserved: Strawberry Rhubarb Jam with Honey and Cinnamon
Capture the best of your seasonal produce for later.
Get the Recipe
Finally the first stalks of rhubarb have appeared here in New York. They are very slender and barely pink, but after a long cold winter, I'll take them. This week I went on a bit of a binge, baking up two crisps and make a big batch of this jam with strawberries, honey, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
The key to perfect rhubarb jam is to simmer the chopped stalks just until they begin to break down. This ensures that every bit of jam is infused with tart rhubarb flavor and that there are no tough, fibrous chunks. Then stir in the rest of the fruit, sweetener, and any other ingredients (zest, spices, etc.).
I kept this recipe simple, but you could experiment by replacing the water used to simmer the rhubarb with wine (a rosé would be particularly nice), or swapping orange zest and juice for the lemon. Or swap the cinnamon stick for a split vanilla bean.
The tart flavors of this jam make it a perfect compliment to sweet breads, cakes, and other desserts. Try it spooned over vanilla ice cream or swirled into rice pudding.

The European sovereign debt crisis continues to rattle global markets as uncertainty over austerity measures and a proposed bailout have people questioning whether the Eurozone will be able to survive more financial trauma.
At the center of concerns are the "PIIGS" nations - Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain - heavily indebted countries in danger of default that could trigger an economic domino effect around the globe.
In a June 2011 report, the Swiss-based Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a clearinghouse for world's central banks - reviewed central bank data and reveals the countries that are the most exposed to European turmoil, specifically in their banking systems.
The numbers presented here take into account foreign claims - investments in the form of loans and bonds that have arisen from PIIGS nations – that are held by international banks headquartered outside the individual countries. If a government defaults on debt, it could carry catastrophic consequences for the country's economy, with the potential to seriously devalue - or potentially wipe out - these assets.
For the context of this report, CNBC.com compared the dollar-value exposure of countries to the total value of assets held by the country's banks for an approximate percentage of total direct exposure. The exposure numbers only include data from international banks, and do not account for insurance companies or other financial firms.
So, which countries are most exposed to the PIIGS? Click ahead for a country-by-country breakdown.
By Paul Toscano
Updated 21 June 2011
Notes: Countries are listed in order of exposure, but are not presented in rank order as the BIS does not provide a completely comprehensive list of countries. The numbers also do not include any insurance taken out against these market bets.
Assets in BIS data include only those held by international commercial banks headquartered in various countries. When banking sector information is taken from the EU, it includes domestic banking groups and stand-alone banks, all institutions, total assets [full sample], outstanding amounts at the end of the period (stocks), all currencies combined.

Mayor's Office
Jayne Snyder today announced her resignation from the Lincoln City Council due to health reasons, effective at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, September 11. Snyder was elected to her at-large City Council seat in May 2009.
"Jayne has had a profound influence on our community's progress as a Council person, a community leader and a successful business person," said Mayor Chris Beutler. "She has been both a passionate advocate and a conciliatory leader, a combination that has been extremely effective on the Council. She will be missed."
Snyder pointed to the improvement of Lincoln's business climate as one her proudest achievements during her time as a City leader. "Lincoln is a great place to do business because we have sped up the process and found a way to say yes to new jobs and new development," she said. "As a long-time business owner, my goal on Council was for City Hall to be as responsive as my business is to my clients." Snyder has owned and operated Snyder Physical Therapy PC since 1990.
Snyder was a key advocate in support of the Lincoln Haymarket Arena in the 2010 campaign. Her leadership on the issue led to her appointment as Chair of the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency (JPA) overseeing the project. During her tenure, the JPA was able to save tens of millions of dollars by consistently coming in under projections on bond sales and other spending and revenue issues.
Snyder has been a life-long advocate for Lincoln's trails system and continued her support as a Council member. In 1991 Jayne and others purchased the land that initiated the MOPAC East trail project. Her continued leadership was critical in the efforts to develop the entire Great Plains Trails Network (GPTN). Snyder raised $2.5 million dollars in support of the network. In recognition of her efforts, the City Council voted to name the trails center in Union Plaza for her. The Jayne Snyder Trails Center is part of the Active Living Center now under construction.
As a health care professional with a successful practice, Snyder has been a strong advocate for health care policy. She served as a member of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Board of Health and worked tirelessly on health care access issues for low-income residents.
"It has been my great privilege to serve the people of Lincoln," Snyder said. "I am proud of what we accomplished together and believe we have created a brighter future for Lincoln. I urge the community to continue the legacy we have established. We must possess the wisdom to see that a strong economy and good jobs are the key to a high quality of life. A strong economy is what makes possible our investments in schools, neighborhoods, parks and trails, the assets that make Lincoln a special place to call home. It is the formula for a great city, one that must continue beyond my time on the Council."
Snyder said she wants her replacement on the Council to reflect her concerns and her values. "It is imperative that we have strong, experienced leadership," she said. "I am hopeful that my successor has the ability to bring people together and find the compromises that allow us to move forward. I want a person of strong character with the resolve to fight for what is right, but who will still work cooperatively with all people, without regard to politics or personality."

ETSU concludes regular season with Jacksonville and North Florida
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Oct. 18, 2012) – Having already clinched its berth into the 2012 Atlantic Sun Tournament Championship, the ETSU women's soccer team concludes conference play in Jacksonville, Fla., looking to improve its seeding and potentially walk away with a second regular season title.
ETSU (11-4-0, 5-2-0 A-Sun) will first face Jacksonville (6-6-3, 3-2-2 A-Sun) on Friday inside the Ashley Sports Complex at 7 p.m. The regular season finale takes place on Sunday against North Florida (6-8-2, 4-2-1 A-Sun) inside Hodges Stadium at 1 p.m.
Entering the final weekend, ETSU is currently seeded No. 4 in the A-Sun with 15 points. It sits just two points from first-place Mercer, and one point behind both Florida Gulf Coast and Kennesaw State. North Florida and Jacksonville are fifth and sixth in the standings with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
The top six teams in the A-Sun standings have already secured the tournament's six spots, but will look to use this weekend to improve upon or maintain their seed. The top two teams receive an automatic bye into the semifinals, while seeds No. 3 through No. 6 play in the quarterfinals next Saturday. Each quarterfinal will be played at the higher seed's site, while the semifinals and final will all take place at the No. 1 seed's location.
Looking to help ETSU's cause this weekend will be two of the NCAA's best in terms of goals and assists. Junior Ramey Kerns (Kings Mountain, N.C.) ranks among the nation's top 10 in goals (15), goals per game (1.00), points (33) and points per game (2.20). Meanwhile, freshman Sarah Zadrazil (St. Gilgen, Austria) ranks inside the top 10 in assists (9) and assists per game (.60). Kerns' 15 goals and 33 points are new ETSU single-season records, and Zadrazil is just one assist from tying former Buccaneer Katie Green for the most in a season. Green tallied 10 in 2007.
ETSU's Last Outing
The Lady Bucs ended the home portion of the conference schedule last weekend, taking down Northern Kentucky, 2-1, on Friday and Lipscomb, 1-0, on Sunday.
Junior Samantha Kron (Paradise Valley, Ariz.) had a big weekend, beginning with the game's first goal against NKU. Kron knocked in a free kick from well outside the 18-yard box to put the Lady Bucs up, but Megan Frye leveled the score. In the 27th minute, freshman Megan Wynne (St. Albans, England) netted her first collegiate goal, which proved to be the game-winner.
Kron added to her weekend on Sunday, scoring the game's only goal in the win over Lipscomb. The score came in the 17th minute, as Kron drove home another free kick. This one was taken from just outside the top-right corner of the penalty area, and skipped under the leg of sophomore Ellis Parsons (Cardiff, Wales) and through the hands of keeper Erin Zerio. The win clinched ETSU's spot in the A-Sun Tournament.
Scouting the Dolphins
Jacksonville had spent the majority of the year atop the A-Sun, but has combined for just one point in their last three games to fall down to sixth. Last weekend, the Dolphins fell at both Mercer and Kennesaw State. JU has not won since Oct. 5 when it scored three goals to defeat Stetson.
Marie Weckhurst leads the Dolphins in goal scoring. Weckhurst has netted four goals and tallied three assists to also lead the team with 11 points. Raquel Weckhurst and Emily Culbreth have each scored three goals. R. Weckhurst leads the team in assists with four.
Scouting the Ospreys
North Florida also came away empty against both Mercer and Kennesaw State last weekend, giving up four goals to the Owls and three to Mercer. Friday's loss to KSU was the Ospreys' first in league play this season after starting 4-0-1. The loss to Mercer subsequently dropped UNF to fifth place.
Thea Linkfield and Carolina Lencina share the team-lead in goals with five apiece. Linkfield has registered a team-leading four assists to head the Ospreys with 14 points. Other potential goal scorers include Lauren Hopfensperger, Michele Larrinaga and Kathryne Husted, who have each scored three times through 16 games.
Series History
ETSU trails the all-times series against both JU and UNF, but defeated both teams last year at Summers-Taylor Stadium. JU is 5-3-2 against the Lady Bucs since their first meeting in 2005, while UNF is 4-3-0 against ETSU all-time. ETSU is 1-2-0 when playing the Dolphins in Jacksonville, and have never defeated UNF on the road in three games.
Live stats will be available on Friday courtesy of JUDolphins.com. Sunday's live stats will be provided by UNFOspreys.com. Free live video will be available for each game on ASun.TV.
ETSU Notes
- ETSU is already in the six-team field for the 2012 A-Sun Tournament Championship. It can earn the No. 1 seed with two wins and favorable results this weekend.
- Last year, ETSU defeated JU, 3-0, and UNF, 2-1, at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
- Ramey Kerns entered the week among the nation's top 10 in goals, goals per game, points and points per game.
- Sarah Zadrazil ranks top 10 in the NCAA in both assists and assists per game.

Tinkerer Phil Ross is a one-man laboratory for geeky eco-art experiments. His illuminated hydroponic sculpture, 'cultured' living organisms, and clever splicing of ancient and future technologies aim to make controlled environments and gadgets a bit less daunting. Part quirky and part eerily familiar, Ross's bio-tech works examine 'the idea of nature' within an identifiable social or historical context. His are the home-brewed science projects that you just cannot take your eyes off. 'Nurture vs. nature' is part of the underlying tension that seems to populate both his world and ours.
Ross coyly states on his artist website, 'Many of the artworks that I make are created through the design and construction of controlled environmental spaces. In these environments I (aim to) nurture, transform, and refine a variety of sculptural artifacts much as one might train the growth of a Bonsai tree.' Juggernaut (pictured at top) is just such an environment as the self-contained habitat for one living plant. Crafted from three blown glass enclosures (ala Victorian conservatories), the resulting hydroponic environment hosts a single plant whose roots are fed by nutrient-infused water. LED lights supply the necessary illumination. 'Junior Return' (pictured above) uses similar methods, although a digital timer counts the seconds until a small pump is activated to move air to the plant and water to its roots.
As a masterful control freak, Ross has also experimented extensively with 'cultured' sculptural forms – mushrooms, fungi, microscopic oysters, and now gardens at large. His 'Pure Culture' and 'Chronic Revelator' series both take a slow-design look at aggregate art as an old-made new phenomenon.
Inspired by a weather-worn cellphone he found on a beach, the artist dumped a series of cameras into a cement mixer and ground them into future, recycled versions of themselves. On display in the 2007 exhibit 'Chronic Revelator', the rusted, broken, bare cameras are insta-artifacts or glimpses into the future.
The modified cement mixer that Ross used as a rock tumbler was on also display – churning and belching out sand and water. On an opposite wall were huge slabs of redwood with snips of watch hands peeking out from the underside. Ross had taken the folk-art wood burl wall clock and flipped it over, revealing our own perceptions of time and nature. This is typical of Ross's methods of getting the viewer to ponder permanence in general. It's a future-forward strategy that lends itself to his ready-made, ad-hoc repertoire of eco-gadgetry and subversive design tinkering.

Summer riding, sans tan lines.
When summer hits its most sweltering temps, some stay inside and wait for the heat wave to pass. Others pull on the Gore Bike Wear Women's Xenon 2.0 Singlet and chart a course for the swimming hole twenty miles up the road. The Xenon's lightweight, quick-drying fabric makes it a favorite for sweaty summer rides, especially when those rides involve a little extracurricular cool-off time. The full-length zipper makes it easy to add even more ventilation, and the sleeveless cut mitigates strange cyclist tan lines.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Great breathability
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got this jersey from a friend as a present. I don't typically wear sleeveless jersey's but since I needed to get a tan, I wasn't going to complain. The fabric is soft and doesn't itch or feel awkward against the skin. I thought the jersey fit was okay, but I felt like I could have used a small instead of a medium.
Xenon Jersey & Xenon shorts
Great reflective accents to protect you at lower light conditions.
This line ends up running true-to-size, and I wish I would have ordered one size down; just a little bit too big, especially the chamois, in this size (XXL) anyway. Will order a XL next time...For reference, I'm 5'6", and I don't want to talk about my weight! So take heart ladies, you can still have top performing bike gear, whatever your size/ability...truly working on it, gotta long way to go, I know!
(* Those are Gore's Xenon socks; I would say they are best for Spring/Fall as they are not as breezy as L.G. or the Giordana's. They have a fit/weight more like Assos' Spring/Fall socks).
What a Surprise!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Well, after reading another reviewer regarding a great experience with the Xenon shorts, I decided to give the Xenon jersey (and the Xenon jacket) a try...what a great surprise!
So while I still love Giordana, these are just about as good...I can't believe I said that, but it's true (providing there are no quality issues down the road).
This jersey performed perfectly on a extremely hot & humid ride today.
The back of the jersey is total mesh, and so totally breathable, even with my hydration pack (loaded, as usual). At breaks on the trail, my back, under the pack area, (which gets a bit sweaty in just a small spot only), was dry in no time.
I like the pockets, totally reachable, though I don't really use them; but if you don't carry a pack, you'll find them very accessible (same goes for the ALP-X 2.0 jersey).
The zipper is easy to operate, no tugging or fumbling around.
I had no problems with the arm holes, and in fact, there was more grace in the arm holes in this jersey than with my Giordana laser jersey. Just have to order the correct size.
Gore also offers Xenon bike socks. They're great; form fit right/left foot; padded under ball of foot; high tech fabric; low cuff; white or black/grey/wt. red accents. See them on the Gore site.
Size is true to the chart.
I got the white/blk (white front, black back *but word to the wise: the white is very thin and I wish I would have ordered the black fronted jersey instead; had to order this direct from Gore) for my size; and the matching Xenon blk./white, and white Xenon jacket from B.C. on sale!...very sharp for dry summer days/evenings.
Country of Origin:
Stamp on back of product reads:
Engineered in Germany...made in China.
Will post any quality issues if they arise.
Wanted to love it, but . . .
This sleeveless jersey looked perfect . . . I liked the collar closing, with the zipper extending only til the neckline which is much more comfortable than the mandarin collars with the zipper all the way to the top of the collar. But . . . this jersey ran very small. I usually wear small in the PI jerseys (am 5'1", 105 lbs.), but this one was way too snug and clingy - not flattering. Also the armholes were tight, with elastic on the undersides - was not comfortable for me. So, had to send it back - it might have worked in a larger size, but I didn't want to chance it. I am still searching for the perfect biking sleeveless jersey!
Yea, it seems all the Gore bike clothes run small; I always go a size up. You may want to try the Gioradana line...the Forma Red is really, really nice; but the Silverline is O.K., too (and that lineup is a bit more forgiving/comfortable, both on the body, & the wallet!). The whole line is also very stylish, and that's a nice "bonus". Happy Trails...

the only good thing about the programmers you can buy are that you can change tire sized for correct speedo reading and remove the speed limiter.
tb spacers are also useless on the newer vortec engines.
look into a transgo shift kit with a vette servo if it's got a 4L60E(automatic).
also, just inside your TB there's a plate that restricts flow. remove it and get free throttle response. lots of people remove the clutch fan and switch to ford taurus E-fans and also gain a little gas mileage and throttle response.

SuperGoober: One of Groundspeak's Featured Cachers of the Month
Featured Cachers of the Month! This is a well-deserved recognition. In addition to what The Weasel wrote to nominate him, I'll add my two cents. SuperGoober is a super choice. I have corresponded with him many times over the years as he asked questions about unusual and creative caches he was thinking about placing. He has hosted lots of geocaching events and has been a leader in working with land managers to create special educational events that call attention to public lands and geocaching in general. I've had the pleasure of hiking with him on one of his "The Seige" cache hunts that he has organized. I've always found him to be super courteous and super friendly, even when he asked me for advice about how to deal with occasional poor behavior on the part of other geocachers. A true geocaching leader and gentleman. Two thumbs up.

Love may be blind — but it's not free. In fact, Americans are planning to spend big bucks this Valentine's Day to show their significant others that they care, according to a new report.
The National Retail Federation forecasts that love-struck consumers will spend 8.5 percent more on Valentine's Day this year, bringing the average spending to $126.03 per person, or a total of $17.6 billion.
Men will once again be the big spenders, shelling out almost twice as much for women in the elusive hunt for the ideal gift, the NRF said.
But once Cupid has helped you snag your true love, where do you buy the present that will make your other half swoon. To help you out, we've found a variety of "his" and "hers" gifts — for whatever type of sweetie is in your life.

Meet Godfrey.
He's a happy little monster and a doberman's best friend!
* * * * * * *
The Making of a Monster!
The 10yr old and I had our last day off today and so we decided to set ourselves a challenge: we would make a dobe-proof toy for Megs. I have some coutil left over from the corset, a stash of felt and the remainder of Dolly's stuffing. Teddies and puppies and "lambikins" (!) were all discussed, but in the spirit of the day, a Halloween monster was decided upon.
We sketched a Godfrey onto the wrong side of a piece of coutil with tailor's chalk.
I may draw up a pattern for him later, but this morning was all about keeping it simple.
A felt mouth, teeth, eyes, pupils and nose were cut out based roughly on our chalk sketch.
And Godfrey was mocked together.
I pinned two pieces of coutil together, right side to right side and cut out the body. I only needed a few pins, one of the joys of working with coutil, it really behaves itself when you are cutting it out.
And started sewing. All the shaped were zigzag stitched onto one piece of the coutil. Each shape was stitched twice round to make sure it was secure. As this was a one person job, the 10yr old became my photographer for the hour... it was the closest I'll become to being papped!
Eyes and pupils done, I pinned the mouth into place and first sewed the outline of each tooth twice, before then sewing around the mouth.
And Godfrey started to take shape.
A nose followed... I rather like the reverse, it's given me some ideas for another day!
And then Godfrey got blue-spotti-itus... a good compromise following a last minute ponder/debate on the worthiness of a blue, not orange, nose!
I sewed a double seam around the outline (can't be too careful, I want him to last till November!), leaving a 4" gap to turn and stuff him through.
We turned him inside out, eventually. I forgot that coutil is stubborn!
And the stuffing began...
even Megan joined in.
Finally, I handstitched the seam, two rows of slip stitch in a thick cotton.
And we have a Godfrey :o) and a happy dog, who can't yet quite believe that this is a toy she is actually allowed to shake and chew and fall asleep on the sofa with!
The only question... how long will he last?

The Last Night of Ballyhoo
Written by Alfred Uhry
Directed by Carolyn Boone
Winner of the 1997 Tony Award for Best Play.
Excitement fills the halls of a well-to-do German-Jewish family in 1939 Atlanta as middle-aged businessman Adolph, his sister Boo, shrewish sister-in-law Reba, and nieces Sunny and Lala decorate their "Jewish Christmas tree." But when Adolph's employee Joe, a charming young man and Eastern European Jew, drops by as the family prepares for Ballyhoo – the peak social event of the year – long-buried prejudices rise to the surface. The family is then forced to examine their own biases, beliefs and religious identities.

Ken Whisenhunt once was in the running to become the next head coach of the San Diego Chargers. The position of offensive coordinator will have to do.
Citing a source informed of the Chargers' plans, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday morning that the former Arizona Cardinals coach was finalizing language on a contract to run San Diego's offense under new coach Mike McCoy, who was hired this week to replace Norv Turner. The Chargers announced Thursday afternoon that the deal was done. McCoy will introduce Whisenhunt at a news conference at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, the team announced.
McCoy told reporters this week that he won't call plays in San Diego, meaning Whisenhunt will work closely with quarterback Philip Rivers to re-imagine an offense that ranked 31st in the NFL last season. The Chargers were more successful scoring points, ranking 20th in that category, but Rivers was erratic and turnover-prone, and the running game crumbled at critical junctures.
Whisenhunt struggled mightily with the Cardinals to develop a successful quarterback after Kurt Warner exited stage left, making Rivers a welcome sight for a coach saddled with Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and Ryan Lindley. We still imagine this attack will be littered with McCoy's fingerprints. It will be a group effort in San Diego.

Wе all love little fluffy pets. It doesn't matter whether it's a rabbit, a puppy, a kitten, or a baby horse. But sometimes an animal is born ending up bald. Some people are attracted to bald animals and they grow them deliberately.
And that doesn't matter as long as they are treated well. Unfortunately that isn't always the case. Here are some of the crazy hairless animals found within a domestic setting.
Hairless Rabbits
What you see is real – no trick photography, nor has the bun been shaved or artificially modified! This amazing little character is quite rare and was accidentally bred here in Australia.
Hairless bunnies pop up as spontaneous mutations fairly frequently but very often die early on in their life. link
Many in the pet world are a bit horrified by this as to date furless bunnies that have showed up spontaneously in the pet population (and there have been many) usually die very early in their life suffering from all sorts of health problems. Besides this hairless animals might be OK in heat but they'd bake like a lobster in the sun with no fur to protect their delicate skin.
Bald Baboon
Lonely baboon ... the rare hairless female was spotted in Zimbabwe (link)
The animals usually hang around in troops of up to 250, but this female is forced to feed alone - after losing all her hair. The unfortunate creature was spotted by British-born gran Ann Warner near her new home in Zimbabwe.
Ann, 65, who is originally from Hartlepool, said: "Baboons are not the loveliest looking of animals at the best of times. "(She) gave us quite a fright on first glance."
It's not known what caused the baboon to go bald - but monkeys and apes sometimes lose their hair in rare cases of alopecia, just like humans.
Hair-raising ... other animals have shunned the unfortunate monkey (link)
This hairless baboon was seen being forever alone in Zimbabwe. All the other baboons won't let this one join in their baboon games because of her appearance.
Hairless Cat
Cats are typically fuzzy, soft little creatures that enjoy a good snuggle (once in a while, on their terms)! There are at least two genetically different strains of hairless cats out there forming the Sphynx breed and the Peterbald breed. There are several breeds on top of this but I have yet to discern if they're playing with the same gene or are distinctive. Either way people love these little naked kitties.
They're obnoxiously friendly (or maybe just using your lap for heat – we may never know) and often are even colorful. Badly bred kittens may have heart issues later in life or other health problems while well bred ones are generally pretty healthy. In fact one of the world's oldest cats, Grandpa, was a sphynx and he lived to be 34 years old! Not bad for a cat rescued from the Humane Society.
Hairless Squirrel
The fur loss is caused by a fungus or mange mites that spread easily from squirrel to squirrel in their winter dens. On frigid days, unrelated squirrels seek out the coziest dens and squish together. Most squirrels aren't harmed by the fungal infection, the mites or the fur loss. They'll regrow fur in the coming weeks. More pix after the jump.
The animal first experiences hair loss over the chest and shoulders. The mange then eventually spreads over the entire body, causing the animal to become nearly bald.

Hairlass Chicken
Mr Feather, the five-month-old featherless chicken, being chased by a cat (link)
It was one of 2,000 chicks born on a remote farm... but this is the bird that caused a real flap. Mr Feather, as he's been cruelly dubbed, won't feel cock-a-hoop though. That's because the poor chicken was born completely bald - and has remained so ever since.
Not only does Mr Feather look fowl, he must be a temptation to hungry humans - being oven-ready after all - and he's even had cats chasing him round. But, so far, he's survived. The bird of no feathers hatched in China's Shandong Province five months ago and since then he has become a local celebrity.
Soon the shelves of European and American shops will decorate the new genetically modified chickens. They are fundamentally different from the usual chicken – not feathered friends, because the tail is completely absent from them …
Israeli researchers set out to a new breed of broiler chickens, which would have saved time and money to producers of chicken meat. Genetically modified chickens have no feathers, and their skin is reddish in color.
Hairless Parrot
While much of the media is touting Oscar the cockatoo as the world's ugliest bird, the near-naked creature with nothing more than a tuft of feathers on her head is enchanting people world-wide by storm as she gives real meaning to the adage that true beauty comes from within.
"She looks like a bald chicken. There's no getting away from it." said one of her keepers, adding, "I love this bird." What's even more miraculous about this special bird is that Oscar was diagnosed with Beak and Feather Disease — a virus highly contagious to other birds — and given 6 months to live. That was 12 years ago.
Hairless Horse
Nobody is quite sure what causes a horse to be hairless. The breeds that seems to pop up as hairless most often are Drafts and Ahkal-Tekes. A hairless horse requires a lot of specialized care that a regularly coated horse does not. They can get fungal infections and are way more prone to sun burning. Without the protective coat their skin dries out easily.
Brindle coats, curly coats, spotted coats, shiny coats... I've seen them all. However, I've never seen a hairless horse before! While it's more common in cats and dogs, hairless in horses is quite rare. Part of this is because the mutation that causes hairlessness in horses tends to be fatal.
Below are several hairless horses including Bluebell the $25,000 "hairless wonder" and Wild Nell who was billed as the "india-rubber skinned mare (both from the 1890s) and an unidentified hairless horse from the 1900s.
Hairless Dog (Obama offered Peruvian dog as White House pet)
U.S. President-elect Barack Obama has promised daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, a new pet for the White House. But Malia is allergic to most breeds, he said on Friday as speculation swirled about the dog the family would choose. Owners of the Peruvian Hairless Dog, a breed dating back 3,000 years and depicted in pre-Hispanic ceramics, say it is perfect for kids who are sensitive to dogs.
"They do not cause any type of allergy and are very friendly and sweet," said Claudia Galvez, 38, director of the Friends of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association.
The Peruvian Hairless Dog is a hairless dog breed that originated in Peru. Its entire body is hairless only having short hair on top of its head, on its feet, and on the tip of its tail. An absolutely hairless is much preferred in Peru. The skin color of Peruvian Hairless Dog can be copper, chocolate-brown or elephant grey mottled.
Extra Naked Snakes
Biologists have found five specimens of an exceedingly rare amphibian, Atretochoana eiselti, in the Brazilian Amazon, reported national media on Tuesday (31)2012. The specimens, a species with an elongated cylindrical body and smooth skin, belonging to the family of so-called caecilians, were found near the construction site of a hydroelectric plant on the Madeira River in Porto Velho, capital of Rondônia state in Northern Brazil.
Biologists consider the animal very rare, since only two specimens of the species were known to exist before this and there was no clear information about the area where those originated, except that they came from "South America." The biologists found six of the amphibians – they returned three to the river, one died and they sent two others to research centers.

So in less than two weeks I'm turning the big 3-0.
If you're rolling your eyes & saying "Seriously? 30 is not old," relax. I'm not about to tell you that I'm upset I'm turning 30, because I'm not.
However, when I hit certain 'milestone' ages, it does make me think back to my younger self imagining this age.
For example, I remember when I turned 21 and how different it was from what I pictured 21 to be years before.
Like... I didn't imagine myself sitting at the bar with my dad in New York City. But that's how it turned out.
I was doing an off-campus study at NYU at the time, and I had just gotten to school only a week or two before. I had made a couple of friends in the same program, and the three of us went out to dinner. (It also happened to be Restaurant Week so we got a really nice meal on the cheap).
However, we didn't know each other that well yet - so when they told me they had schoolwork to do & couldn't go out after, I believed them.
And proceeded to call the only other people I knew in NYC - my dad & stepmom.
Meanwhile... my new friends fully intended to 'party' with me despite the fact that it was the middle of the week, and were wondering where I disappeared to. But it wasn't until the next day I found out it was all a joke.
Oh well! Don't get me wrong, I still had fun, just saying it's not how I imagined turning 21 to be.
I can also tell you that around that same time, I thought 30 was old with a capital O.
And L and D.
Now "earmuffs" Dad and Mr. Vittles, but when I was in college I had a taste for the older fellas. I went to a really small school in Florida where I got an excellent education but had a very bizarre social life.
Think 'Land of the Misfit Toys' and I was there with all my working parts.
I wasn't a hippie, I wasn't into Dungeons & Dragons, I wasn't LGBT, I wasn't a Marxist - I was just Maggie from Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. And even though I was OK with that, it seemed like no one else was.
Either that, or I was just totally invisible because I had nothing edgy to "define" myself. I would see people from my classes at parties, and half the time they didn't even realize I went to school with them. I can honestly say more people recognized me at my best friend's college an hour away than at my own.
Luckily, early on I found two other girls who felt the same way, and we became fast friends. One of them, Natalie, became my off-campus roommate until we left school. The fact that we all felt a little out of place led us to befriend more people away from school (or as we called them, Townies)... and often the Townies we befriended were much older.
First, I started dating the owner of the ice cream shop where I worked. He was 7 years older.
Then the gaps seemed to get progressively larger, until I finally reached 10 years.
(Or... so I thought I reached 10 years. But nothing ended up happening. Read on.)
Through a friend of my roommate's boyfriend, I met this guy who was 30. One night we were all out in a group, but he & I hit it off, so he asked me out on a date later that week.
I was... tripping.
Not because he was especially good-looking or successful or anything, but because I was shocked that someone at the ripe old age of 30 would be interested in little 20-year old me.
On the days leading up to our date, I fretted about seeming too immature. This guy had already been married & divorced, had a regular job, paid his own bills.... etc etc.
I worked part time scooping ice cream, and watched Maury every afternoon on one of the 5 channels we got without buying cable, in an apartment that my dad and my roommate's mom paid for.
In other words, the only thing we really had in common was breathing oxygen. What in the hell were we going to talk about?
Well let me tell you.
Our fabulous date consisted of me driving myself to a coffee shop, where he had been waiting and already purchased himself a cup of coffee. Once I then purchased my OWN coffee, we walked up to the beach to watch the sunset.
Where he proceeded to tell me he wasn't looking for a serious relationship and just wanted to have fun.
Which was FINE, I mean hello I was 20 - not looking to get married here. What he was too dumb to figure out is I was looking for the exact same thing. But even I had the sense to know you don't make a statement like that within five minutes of a first date. Some things just don't need to be spoken, and only serve to dampen the mood.
Also on that list is telling the other person you just want to hook up with them... and asking what type of panties they are wearing? And then trying to make out before you've talked for more than 5 minutes.
Umm... excuse me. I may have been 20, but I was not born yesterday. Sunset Beach Makeout Party could have been a reality for my new friend if he had just shown a little respect. (Clearly I was not the one who should have been concerned about seeming immature.) So I not-so-politely told him where to go, and stormed off - with him running behind calling me names, then asking if we could 'start over again.'
And on that day, I realized that with age does not necessarily come wisdom. Perhaps 30 was not so old and sophisticated as I thought?
Now, at 30, I pay my own bills. I'm married. I've been at the same full-time job for 5 years. I own a home. I have a child. I have an accountant. I have a living will. I am planning for retirement.
I make molasses cake and blog about it, for God's sake.
For all intents & purposes.... I am old with a capital O, L, and D.
But most times I still feel like that 20 year-old college kid. I wonder if anyone ever has Life figured out? Probably not.
So for now... whether it's old or not... I'm just going to enjoy being 30. I'm going to enjoy being married, and having a job, and being a mom, and owning a home. I'm going to enjoy planning for retirement - when I can look back on this time in my life and say "HA! Remember how I imagined retiring to be? Silly 30 year-old Maggie."
Until then... let's all leave this business of figuring out Life to another day and just enjoy some molasses cake.
P.S. This is delicious but intense - so if you are not completely in love with molasses (like myself), you might consider perusing the recipe annals of V&B for something more suited to your taste!
Molasses Cake
- 1 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 t. baking powder
- 3/4 t. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 t. ground ginger
- 1/4 t. ground cloves
- pinch salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 C. (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- 1 C. molasses
- 1/2 C. hot water
- 1 t. pure vanilla extract
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together egg, melted butter, molasses, hot water, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and whisk (or beat) until smooth, scraping down sides with a rubber spatula if necessary.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 28-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool on wire rack, slice, & serve warm and/or topped with powdered sugar or whipped cream. Serves 9.

The Perfect Pair: Strength and cardio for a complete workout
Most people are aware of the benefits of cardio workouts for both performance and their overall health. Often people overlook the benefits of a balanced program that also includes strength training.
If your goal is to get a leaner body or to change your shape, strength workouts are extremely effective. Of course your diet plays a significant role along with cardio sessions, but strength training will do more than make you stronger.
- Muscles burns calories, so the more you have, the more calories you'll burn
- Strength, or weight bearing, workouts also help strengthen bones
- Increase muscular endurance
- Help you avoid injuries
- Increase confidence and self-esteem
- Improve coordination and balance
Special note to women:
Many of you miss out on the bone-building benefits of strength workouts due to the fear that you will "bulk up." Relax. Most women's hormone composition will keep them from dramatically increasing muscle size.

Blood flows out of your heart and into a large blood vessel called the aorta. The aortic valve connects the heart and aorta. The aortic valve opens so blood can flow out. It then closes to keep blood from returning to the heart.
You may need aortic valve surgery to replace the aortic valve in your heart if:
- Your aortic valve does not close all the way so blood leaks back into the heart. This is called aortic regurgitation.
- Your aortic valve does not open fully so blood flow through it is reduced. This is called aortic stenosis.
Open aortic valve surgery replaces the valve through a large cut in your chest.
The aortic valve can also be replaced using minimally invasive aortic valve surgery. This is done using several small cuts.
Alternative Names
Aortic valve replacement; Aortic valvuloplasty; Aortic valve repair; Replacement – aortic valve
Before your surgery you will receive
- Your surgeon will make a 10-inch-long cut in the middle of your chest.
- Next, your surgeon will divide your breastbone to be able to see your heart and aorta.
- You may need to be connected to a heart-lung bypass machine or bypass pump. Your heart is stopped while you are connected to this machine. This machine does the work of your heart while your heart is stopped.
If your aortic valve is too damaged, you will need a new valve. This is called replacement surgery. Your surgeon will remove your aortic valve and sew a new one into place. There are two main types of new valves:
- Mechanical — made of man-made materials, such as titanium or carbon. These valves last the longest. You may need to take blood-thinning medicine, such as warfarin (Coumadin) or aspirin, for the rest of your life if you have this type of valve.
- Biological — made of human or animal tissue. These valves may last 10 to 20 years, but you may not need to take blood thinners for life.
Once the new valve is working, your surgeon will:
- Close your heart and take you off the heart-lung machine.
- Place catheters (tubes) around your heart to drain fluids that build up.
- Close your breastbone with stainless steel wires. It will take about 6 weeks for the bone to heal. The wires will stay inside your body.
This surgery may take 2 – 5 hours.
Sometimes other procedures are done during open aortic surgery. These include:
Coronary bypass surgery
- Aortic root replacement (David procedure)
- Graft of the first part of the aorta (large blood vessel leaving the heart)
- Ross (or switch) procedure
Why the Procedure Is Performed
You may need surgery if your aortic valve does not work properly. You may need open-heart valve surgery for these reasons:
- Changes in your aortic valve are causing major heart symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting spells, or heart failure.
- Tests show that changes in your aortic valve are beginning to seriously harm how well your heart works.
- Your heart valve has been damaged by infection of the heart valve (
- You have received a new heart valve in the past and it is not working well.
- You have other problems such as
blood clots, infection, or bleeding.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
- Blood clots in the legs that may travel to the lungs
- Blood loss
Breathing problems
- Infection, including in the lungs, kidneys, bladder, chest, or heart valves
- Reactions to medicines
Possible risks from having open heart surgery are:
- Heart attack or
- Heart rhythm problems
- Incision infection, which is more likely to occur in people who are obese, have diabetes, or have already had this surgery
- Infection of the new valve
- Kidney failure
- Memory loss and loss of mental clarity, or "fuzzy thinking"
- Poor healing of the incision
- Post-pericardiotomy syndrome (low-grade fever and chest pain) that could last up to 6 months
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
- If you are or could be pregnant
- What medicines you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription
You may be able to store blood in the blood bank for transfusions during and after your surgery. Ask your surgeon how you and your family members can donate blood.
If you smoke, you must stop. Ask your doctor for help.
For the 2-week period before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking medicines that make it harder for your blood to clot. These might cause increased bleeding during the surgery.
- Some of these drugs are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn).
- If you are taking warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidogrel (Plavix), talk with your surgeon before stopping or changing how you take these drugs.
During the days before your surgery:
- Ask your doctor which medicines you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- Always let your doctor know if you have a cold, flu, fever, herpes breakout, or any other illness in the time leading up to your surgery.
Prepare your house for when you get home from the hospital.
Shower and wash your hair the day before your surgery. You may need to wash your whole body below your neck with a special soap. Scrub your chest two or three times with this soap. You also may be asked to take an antibiotic to prevent infection.
On the day of your surgery:
- You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything after midnight the night before your surgery. This includes using chewing gum and breath mints. Rinse your mouth with water if it feels dry. Be careful not to swallow.
- Take the medicines your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
Expect to spend 5 – 7 days in the hospital after surgery. You will spend the first night in the ICU and may stay there for 1 – 2 days. Two to three tubes will be in your chest to drain fluid from around your heart. These are usually removed 1 – 3 days after surgery.
You may have a catheter (flexible tube) in your bladder to drain urine. You may also have intravenous (IV) lines to deliver fluids. Nurses will closely watch monitors that display your vital signs (your pulse, temperature, and breathing).
You will be moved to a regular hospital room from the ICU. Your nurses and doctors will continue to monitor your heart and vital signs until you go home. You will receive pain medicine to control pain around your surgical cut.
Your nurse will help you slowly resume some activity. You may begin a program to make your heart and body stronger.
You may have a
Outlook (Prognosis)
Mechanical heart valves do not fail often. However, blood clots can develop on them. If a blood clot forms, you may have a stroke. Bleeding can occur, but this is rare.
Biological valves have a lower risk of blood clots, but tend to fail over time. For best results, choose to have your aortic valve surgery at a center that does many of these procedures.
