Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I come from a family of five: 3 girls and twin boys. My Mom is currently on Hospice; she started with stomach cancer and [progressed?] to the uterine and spots on the liver. Recently, she had two sisters die in the last 6 months, 15 days apart. One died from breast cancer that spread to her lymph nodes, bone, and brain, and the other from pancreatic cancer. She lost a sister at the age of 57 to colon cancer. The surgeon is telling us to seek testing immediately. Can you give me direction and help please?
Jill Stopfer, MS, CGC, Certified Genetic Counselor, responds:
I agree that this is a concerning history for some genetic predisposition for cancer, and would strongly recommend that this family seek genetic counseling from a cancer genetics program that has this expertise. Programs can be located throughout the nation using www.nsgc.org (finding a genetic counselor specializing in cancer) or through the NCI directory http://www.cancer.gov/search/geneticsservices/. I would encourage this individual to not delay, since often the key to sorting out why there is an overabundance of cancer in the family requires that an affected person with cancer be tested first. If that person has detectable cancer risk, then everyone else in the family who would like to know his or her status can also be tested. However, it testing the affected person with cancer does not find the source of risk, then medical recommendations for other family members will need to be based on family history alone.

Meet one of today's leaders in the accounting software world, Jennifer Warawa. As the Vice President, Partner Programs and Channel Sales at Sage North America, Jennifer has a wealth of experience working with accounting professionals. Enjoy this insightful, educational and entertaining Q&A…
Q: The world of accounting marketing has obviously changed dramatically in recent years. What has surprised you in terms of what public accounting firms have done (or not done)–both positively and negatively?
A: Every year we do a membership study for the Sage Accountants Network and when we ask accountants what keeps them up at night, the #1 response for many years now is how they can get new clients. What I find very interesting is that although this continues to be a top challenge, we still haven't seen the profession really change their approach to how they get new clients. In fact, I spend a great deal of time visiting accountants all over North America and quite often when I ask about their marketing strategy, I find they often don't have one at all. In our recent research of U.S. accounting firms, 65% say they actually don't even have a website. In order to grow their firms and attract new clients, there will need to be a shift in the profession's approach to marketing which needs to include embracing new marketing methodologies such as digital marketing and social media. On a positive note, we are starting to see more and more of the "next gen" mindset emerging in public accounting. I believe next gen is unrelated to age but is more in how someone embraces change and new ideas. We're seeing professionals of all different ages step up with a great deal of passion, ready to transform their firms, and we love working with those individuals as they create their new future.
Q: If you had to jump on a time machine and go forward 20 years, what would you tell CPAs?
A: Innovation isn't about technology alone. Change is happening at an unprecedented rate and we don't see any signs of it slowing down in the near future. Few people have taken time to really think about what "being innovative" means to their firm or business. Many view innovation as technology alone but I challenge that thinking because I believe innovation in how you run your business or firm is equally as important. From the services you offer, to your customer and employee strategies, to how you brand yourself; this all should be thought of as innovation. If a firm sees picking up the latest and greatest technology as their key to being innovative, they are missing a large component in their future success.
Q: How has your role at Sage evolved over the last couple of years?
A: When I started with Sage almost five and a half years ago, I was solely focused on the Canadian market and about three years ago added the U.S. accountant business to my responsibilities which has made for a very exciting time in my career. I love the North American outlook and there are so many learnings each market can take away from the other.
Overall, I think my role has evolved and changed as Sage itself has evolved and changed. Over the last few years Sage has become increasingly focused on its core solutions, has made some tough but necessary decisions, and has restructured its product names and focus to a unified Sage brand. All of these changes require everyone at Sage to reinvent ourselves in many ways and it keeps us learning, growing, and challenging the status quo. I love it!
Q: What have been some of the key things you've learned throughout your career? What might you do differently if you had it do to all over again?
A: Wow – that's a big question!
First, I would say that sometimes your biggest roadblock is your own opinion. You think you know something but quite often, it's really just your perspective, and the ability to be able to set your opinion aside and be open to new ideas and alternate solutions is critical to success.
Second, the outcome is always proportionate to the effort you put in and nothing good just falls in your lap. There is no replacement for hard work, commitment, and dedication.
Third, it's all about the people. It goes back to that saying that no one will remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel. Treating people with respect and maintaining your integrity are so important through all circumstances and situations.
As far as what I'd do differently, I can honestly say nothing immediately comes to mind. I grew up with entrepreneurial parents who owned their own businesses and learned many lessons about business before I even learned how to drive. I then spent a wonderful (and adventurous) 12 years starting, growing, and then selling a small business. Entrepreneurship taught me an incredible amount – lessons I still use every day. Now I am working for a global company with endless opportunities. I have been very fortunate!
Q: You travel a lot. How about sharing an interesting travel story?
A: There is certainly no shortage of interesting travel stories – I think I have one from almost every week I've spent on the road! One of the most memorable was when I was traveling to Vancouver from Atlanta with a connection in Seattle. Our flight out of Atlanta was delayed and as a result, I missed my connection which happened to be the last flight of the day. The airline put us up in a hotel in Seattle and after a very long day of travel, I arrived at the hotel just after 1:00 am. There was a lady on my flight that was on the same shuttle bus as I was and when we arrived at the hotel she was informed she had mistakenly gone to the wrong hotel and was told to go back to the airport and catch a different shuttle bus to the correct hotel. She almost started crying realizing she would get minimal sleep as it was literally the middle of the night and her new flight was before 7:00 am. I felt her pain and after confirming my room had two beds, I offered her my second bed which she gratefully accepted. The funny part is as we were lying there dozing off to sleep, she quietly asks "Um… what is your name?" I was happy to wake up after my brief 3.5 hour "nap" and see that my purse had not disappeared!
Q: Outside of your work duties, what else do you like to do? How do you spend your down time?
A: I am married and with all the travel I do, when I finally get some down time it's great to just hang out with my husband and our "fur babies" and stay relatively close to home. I love reading, writing (I have various blogs I contribute to), and just getting outside. I have been told I am "solar powered" and it's true – I love being outside on sunny days!
Q: What's in the future for Jennifer Warawa?
A: The future is truly an endless list of opportunities. Five years ago if you would have told me I'd move from my small, hometown of Kelowna, BC, Canada to Atlanta, GA I would have laughed and wondered how on earth that would happen, but here I am. It proved to me that if you're open, there are all kinds of opportunities out there and the future is limitless (and excitingly unknown!).

In the decade I've had children dressing up for Halloween, their costumes have not required me to test my skills as a makeup artist. But this year is different.
My son is going as Captain Jack Sparrow tonight, so I'll need to help create a pirate look for him and I've got pretty big shoes to fill. He went to The Pirate's League in the Magic Kingdom last month for a makeover and has been talking about his Cursed Pirate look ever since. You know the one — a skeleton-like face that an artist skillfully creates in 30 minutes. If my son hopes to get out the door, we won't be attempting that tonight.
While I was looking for some easier looks to duplicate, though, I came across these Disney Parks videos, which have great tips for face-painting. Perhaps they'll inspire you, too. Plus, if you scroll to the end, you'll find a video of the Walt Disney World artists at work in the old face-painting area of Mickey's Toontown Fair.

Veteran Italy centre Gonzalo Canale will miss the upcoming Tests against Tonga, New Zealand and Australia after tearing muscles in his right thigh.
The Italian Rugby Federation said in a statement that Canale suffered the injury during training ahead of this weekend's Test against Tonga in Brescia and will be sidelined for three weeks.
That rules the 77-Test veteran out of the match against the All Blacks in Rome on November 17, along with the Test against Australia in Florence a week later.
A replacement for Argentine-born Canale was not immediately announced.

column: Top 5: Ann Arbor development sites to watch for activity in 2013
Ann Arbor Business Review
Looking at Ann Arbor and its potential for private development left most people with a simple conclusion in recent years: It doesn't make sense to build.
But that changed in 2012, as construction concluded on some projects, started on several others and prompted developers to line up the next wave of building.
There was a time - back in 2011 or so - when it seemed like Arbor Hills Crossing on Washtenaw would be a vacant lot for some time to come. Or that Village Green might keep delaying City Apartments. Or even that Sterling Lofts 411 could stand alone as a student high-rise on its East Washington block.
No more. The Varsity is ahead of schedule on East Washington, and the other new projects are proceeding quickly. (Even on late December Saturdays, I recently noticed).
And now even the most distant building projects have momentum: The former West Towne Condos found new life as apartments, and the new owner of the project at West Liberty and Maple wants to build 53 new units at the now-Blue Heron Pond. The new apartments on the edge of downtown will be taking shape at 618 S. Main. Neighbors are gearing up to battle still more student housing on East Huron, while the high rise on Church Street seems to be finding acceptance.
And now we even find out that the Downtown Development Authority is ready to set a plan in motion to sell the city-owned development properties in the central business district.
So far, the city seems to be avoiding the breakneck development pace that both added residences and retail spaces to the city - and left some developers (and banks) holding property that just couldn't sustain its value during the recession.
We suspect plenty of people are seeking opportunities to build here, and that we'll see still more plans unveiled in 2013.
Here are properties that I'm watching most closely this year for development activity:
1. Glen Ann Place: The site plan was expiring in November as the original developers still owed $80,000 in back taxes. Yet the assemblage of land that would have allowed the 9-story mixed-use project on the block at Glen and Ann remains close to two of the hottest economic engines in Southeast Michigan: The University of Michigan Medical Center and U-M's central campus. The original price of the land and the development may not have aligned with reality, but someone - or some people - simply have to see some potential here.
2. 202 S. Division: This property, at the southwest corner of South Division and East Washington, could have been a hotel. But weeks after a Chicago developer sought to submit plans in 2011, it seemed to go into limbo. The property stayed vacant through discussions over whether a hotel could be built on the Library Lot. It stayed vacant as two high-rises took shape across the street and a third is in the works a block away. It's vacant as the corner of Liberty and South Division grows as a destination. Will it remain vacant through 2013? Hardly seems likely, but the developers (so far) haven't talked.
3. 48.51 acres north of Arborland: This property abuts a popular landmark Ann Arbor shopping center, a subdivision with $400,000 homes and it's in the city limits. It's also been listed for sale for $4.9 million as it went through foreclosure. City officials have been getting inquiries on it; it may have sold in late 2012, but details remain sketchy. This property also is next to US-23 and may not have easy access from Huron River Drive - but it could be a barometer for two questions about our city. The first: When will significant residential development begin again? And the second is what kind of potential developers see in carving out new uses for long-existing vacant land here. In 2008, two hotels, restaurants and senior housing were proposed here.
4. 1380 N. Main: It's stunning and disappointing to me that Ann Arbor has built itself into one of Michigan's most dynamic cities by turning its back on the Huron River. But that's exactly what much of North Main Street does. As a gateway, it's unattractive; as a place that capitalizes on a tremendous natural asset, it just doesn't maximize potential. The city is trying to address the corridor, particularly a bit farther south near Summit Street. But when developers break ground on this proposed office complex, we'll know that something is about to happen in this underutilized part of town. It comes with risks (close to the highway and it'll be costly to build), but also could have a big payback for the city.
5. Lower Town: This could be the ultimate barometer for Ann Arbor's rebound. These 7.8 acres once were envisioned for one of the largest single redevelopment projects in city history, back when a $172 million project only seemed a bit far-fetched. Today, it's easy to look back with amazement that it got as far as it did. (State pensioners, who now own it, may feel the same way). Lower Town continues to give Ann Arbor a development reality check. When someone sees something truly viable for this site - which remains close to the U-M medical campus, a lot of additional building activity and successful residential properties - we'll know that Ann Arbor truly has emerged from the downturn. And I'm not discounting some type of public use for that "something viable."

The Collapse Of The Theory Of Evolution
The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution
The Theory of Evolution: A Materialistic Liability
The information we have presented throughout this book shows us that the theory of evolution has no scientific basis and that, on the contrary, the claims of evolution manifestly conflict with scientific discoveries. In other words, the power that sustains evolution is not science. Evolution can be defended by some "scientists", but there must be another fundamental agent at work.
That other agent is materialist philosophy.
So the question becomes one of whether the materialist point of view is correct. A method of testing whether a philosophy is true or false is to investigate the claims of that philosophy, which are related to science by using scientific methods. For instance, a philosopher in the 10th century could claim that there was a divine tree on the surface of the moon and that all living things actually grew on the branches of this huge tree like fruits and then fell on to earth. Some people might find this philosophy attractive and believe in it. But in the 20th century, at a time when people have managed to walk on the moon, it is not possible to put forward such a philosophy. Whether such a tree exists there or not can be determined by scientific methods, that is, by observation and experiment.
We can therefore investigate by means of scientific methods the materialist claim: that is, that matter has existed for all eternity and that this matter can organise itself without a super-material Creator and cause life to begin. When we do this, we see that materialism has already collapsed, because the idea that matter has always existed since eternity has been overthrown by the Big Bang theory which shows that universe was created from nothingness. The claim that matter organised itself and brought about life is the claim that we call "the theory of evolution"-the one that this book has been examining and has also shown to have collapsed.
The only reason that Darwin's theory is still defended despite its obvious refutation by science is the close link between that theory and materialism. Darwin
applied materialist philosophy to the natural sciences and the advocates of this philosophy, Marxists being foremost among them, go on defending
Darwinism no matter what. One of the most famous contemporary champions of the theory of evolution, the biologist Douglas Futuyma, wrote: "Together with Marx's materialistic theory of history Darwin's theory of evolution was a crucial plank in the platform of mechanism and materialism. " This is a very clear admission of why the theory of evolution is really so important to its defenders.
1 Another famous evolutionist, the paleontologist Stephen J.Gould said: "Darwin applied a consistent philosophy of materialism to his interpretation of nature 2 Leon Trotsky , one of the masterminds of the Russian Communist Revolution along with Lenin, commented: "The discovery by Darwin was the highest tri-umph of the dialectic in the whole field of organic matter."3 However, science has shown that Darwinism was not a victory for materialism but rather a sign of that philosophy's overthrow.
1 Douglas Futuyma, Evolutionary Biology, 2nd ed., Sunderland, MA: Sinauer, 1986, p. 3 2 Alan Woods and Ted Grant, "Marxism and Darwinism", Reason in Revolt: Marxism and Modern Science, London, 1993 3 Alan Woods and Ted Grant. "Marxism and Darwinism", London, 1993
However, if one is determined to believe in materialism and puts his devotion to the materialist philosophy before everything else, then he does not act like this. If he is "foremost a materialist and then a scientist", he does not abandon materialism when he sees that evolution is belied by science. On the contrary, he attempts to uphold and save materialism by trying to support evolution no matter what. This is exactly the predicament that evolutionists defending the theory of evolution find themselves in today.
Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time to time. A well known geneticist and an outspoken evolutionist, Richard C. Lewontin from Harvard University, confesses that he is "foremost a materialist and then a scientist" with these words:
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.71
The term "a priori" that Lewontin uses here is quite important. This philosophical term refers to a presupposition not based on any experimental knowledge. A thought is "a priori" when you consider it as right and accept it to be so even if there is no information available about the correctness of that thought. As evolutionist Lewontin expresses frankly, materialism is an "a priori" given for evolutionists and they try to adjust science to this given. Since materialism definitely necessitates denying the existence of a Creator, they embrace the only alternative they have in hand, which is the theory of evolution. It does not matter to them that evolution has been belied by scientific facts; such scientists have accepted it "a priori" as correct.
This prejudiced conduct leads evolutionists to a belief that "unconscious matter composed itself" which is contrary not only to science but also to reason. Professor of chemistry from New York University and a DNA expert Robert Shapiro, as we have quoted before, explains this belief of evolutionists and the materialist dogma lying at its base as follows:
Another evolutionary principle is therefore needed to take us across the gap from mixtures of simple natural chemicals to the first effective replicator. This principle has not yet been described in detail or demonstrated, but it is anticipated, and given names such as chemical evolution and self-organization of matter. The existence of the principle is taken for granted in the philosophy of dialectical materialism, as applied to the origin of life by Alexander Oparin.72
Evolutionist propaganda, which we constantly come across in the leading Western media organs and in the famous and "esteemed" science magazines, is the outcome of this ideological necessity. Since evolution is considered to be indispensable, it has been turned into a taboo by the circles that set the standards of science.
There are scientists who find themselves in a position where they are forced to defend this far-fetched theory or at least avoid uttering any word against it in order to maintain their reputations. The academicians in the Western countries are obliged to have their articles published in certain science magazines to attain and hold the post of "professorship". All of the magazines dealing with biology are under the control of evolutionists and they do not allow any anti-evolutionist article to appear in their magazines. Therefore every biologist has to conduct his studies under the domination of this theory. They too are part of the established order regarding evolution as an ideological necessity, for which reason, they blindly defend all the "impossible coincidences" we have been examining so far in this book.
When the evolutionist literature is browsed, this ideological commitment to evolution can be easily observed. Professor Ali Demirsoy is the famous advocate of the evolutionary theory in Turkey. According to Demirsoy: the probability of the coincidental formation of Cythochrome-C, an essential protein for survival, is "as unlikely as the possibility of a monkey writing the history of humanity on a typewriter without making any mistakes".73
There is no doubt that to accept such a possibility is actually to oppose the basic principles of reason and common sense. Even a single correct letter written on a page makes it certain that it is written by a person. When one sees a book of world history, it becomes even more certain that the book has been written by a writer. No one with sound reasoning would agree that the letters of such a huge book could have been put together "by chance".
However, it is very interesting to see that the "evolutionist scientist" Prof. Ali Demirsoy accepts this sort of irrational proposition:
In essence, the probability of the formation of a Cytochrome-C sequence is as likely as zero. That is, if life requires a certain sequence, it can be said that this has a probability likely to be realised once in the whole universe. Otherwise some metaphysical powers beyond our definition must have acted in its formation. To accept the latter is not appropriate for the scientific goal. We thus have to look into the first hypothesis.74
The conclusion to be drawn from such pronouncements is that evolution is by no means a theory arrived at through scientific investigation. On the contrary, the form and substance of this theory were dictated by the requirements of materialistic philosophy. It then turned into a belief or dogma in spite of concrete scientific facts. Again, we can clearly see from evolutionist literature that all of this effort indeed has a "purpose". And that purpose precludes any belief that all living things were created by a Creator.
Evolutionists define this purpose as "scientific". However, what they refer to is not science but materialist philosophy. Materialism absolutely rejects the existence of anything "beyond" matter (or of anything supernatural). Science itself is not obliged to accept such a dogma. Science means exploring nature and deriving conclusions from one's findings. If these findings lead to the conclusion that nature is created, science has to accept it. That is the duty of a true scientist; not defending impossible scenarios by clinging to the outdated materialist dogmas of the 19th century.
It is clear that scientific evidence refutes the Darwinistic theory and proves the existence of a superior creation which is manifested in all aspects of the living world. Although some scientists have been brainwashed by the materialistic dogma, many others come to this conclusion. Professor of applied mathematics and astronomy from University College (Cardiff, Wales), Chandra Wickramasinghe describes this reality he faced as a scientist who had been told throughout his life that life had emerged as a result of chance coincidences:
From my earliest training as a scientist, I was very strongly brainwashed to believe that science cannot be consistent with any kind of deliberate creation. That notion has had to be painfully shed. At the moment, I can't find any rational argument to knock down the view which argues for conversion to God. We used to have an open mind; now we realize that the only logical answer to life is creation-and not accidental random shuffling.75
It is also very evident that such a superior creation provides concrete evidence for the existence of a Creator, the Possessor of infinite power, knowledge, and intelligence.
That Creator is Allah, the Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that is between them.
He, in the Qur'an, adresses to all of us:
O man! What has deluded you in respect of your Noble Lord?
He Who created you and formed you and proportioned you and assembled you in whatever way He willed. (Surat al-Infitar: 6-8)

Predicting Future Events Step by Step
October 18th, 2011And now for my very favorite quote of the year, offered by Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. In reference to the Nissan Leaf, a zero emission vehicle, Ghosn said "this is the future, and everything else is going to look obsolete, like sending messages with pigeons"[i].
As Gnosh put it in an interview in Fast Company, "if you already have an emissions problem with 700 Million cars, what problems are you going to have with 2 Billion?". In the case of Nissan, Ghosn is looking beyond the defined needs of customers and is anticipating the needs of the global market in a decade or more. It is not good enough to solve problems we can see, the strategist must seek to solve problems that are not readily apparent. To consider such scenarios, strategists must consider Social, Technological, Economic, Ecological and Political trends and consider how various combinations may change the landscape of an industry.
In my book and blog" Intended Consequences", I predicted remarkably volatile prices for fuel and the potential for oil to reach prices of far north of $100 a barrel. The predication which became an eventuality was based on an evaluation of "converging factors", independent trends that combine to create a tipping point. The automobile industry is on the cusp of such a fundamental shift. Toyota has been selling the Prius since, 1997 but the initial curve for adoption was remarkably slow. What we see in evidence today are converging trends that will provide the impetus to create disruptive change in the form of rapid adoption of alternative vehicles:
Political: The U.S. government's recent announcement of an agreement with thirteen automakers that will reset the Café fuel economy standards to require an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.[ii] The willingness of OEM's (original equipment manufacturers), to work with the government in a race to dramatically improve fuel efficiency illustrates their understanding of radical changes in their operating environment.
Social: Shifting sensibilities towards sustainability will drive adoption. Electric cars are somewhat impractical for working people who may not have time to charge them (up to 8 hours) providing a leg up to hybrids.
Technology: The new Prius plug in will offer up to 87 miles to the gallon illustrating explosive improvement in battery technology. Many of the world's top scientists are working on batteries that could expediently improve performance, size and cost.
Ecological: In Nissan's case, the rapid growth of highly polluted Asian markets is viewed as a driver for future demand. Recent disasters in the gulf and elsewhere have heightened awareness of the risks of oil exploration.
Economic: Americans are still fearful of OPEC's influence and the ability of the cartel to manage worldwide oil prices. As battery prices decline, the value proposition of hybrids will only continue to improve, and the total cost of ownership for such vehicles will be drastically reduced.
Businesses are well advised to review such variables as to develop scenarios about their industry. It may not be possible to look into a magical crystal ball to predict the future, but careful study of trends provides us context on what products and services to develop in order to create disruption.

Tornado Safety Tips
- Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or to commercial radio or television newscasts for the latest information. In any emergency, always listen to the instructions given by local emergency management officials.
- Be alert to changing weather conditions. Look for approaching storms.
- If you see approaching storms or any of the danger signs, be prepared to take shelter immediately.
- The average tornado moves Southwest to Northeast, but tornadoes have been known to move in any direction.
- The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 mph, but may vary from stationary to 70 mph.
- Tornadoes can accompany tropical storms and hurricanes as they move onto land
- Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3 pm and 9 pm, but can occur at any time.
- Look for the following danger signs:
- Dark, often greenish sky
- Large hail
- A large, dark, low-lying cloud (particularly if rotating)
- Loud roar, similar to a freight train.

The Southern Alps & Riviera
WORDS & PHOTOS: Max Leonard
"Don't tell anyone," says John, as we stand halfway up the Col de Turini, 25km and a world away from Nice on the chi-chi Cote d'Azur. He is reluctant to publicise the gloriously empty mountain roads, for fear of a glut of cyclists spoiling the solitude.
We're cycling the cols in the Alpes Maritimes, where the mountains meet the Med and you can, as on Lance's favourite training col, the Madone, climb from the beach to 927 metres in 14 km. But, I point out, he's helping spoil the secret: as a guide for Cycle Cote d'Azur, a company run by a former Rapha/La Fuga Randonnée leader, he's charged with taking groups out into these mountains.
There's also Graeme Fife. I've never met Graeme, but I've ridden with him before. His Rapha-published tomes – on the Pyrenees, and more recently on the Southern Alps – are marvellously personal guides, Graeme an avuncular authority behind the text. Without him, I would never have dived off the Soulor to climb the Col de Spandelles, nor then taken a rough logging track up to the Coraduque – highlights of that trip to the Pyrenees.
The Great Road Climbs of the Southern Alps has no pretension to being encyclopaedic, and when Graeme glosses over a col it almost seems a challenge to find out more. As is the case with the beautiful Col de Braus, and its tidily stacked switchbacks. At its summit there is a memorial to René Vietto, winner of the polka dot jersey in 1934 and a legendary hardman. René lost a toe to sepsis rather than pull out of the 1947 Tour and reportedly ordered his domestique, Apo Lazarides, to amputate one of his own, the better to understand the pain and suffering necessary to excel.
But today doesn't seem like suffering. The sun is out, the pine forests scent the climbs, and the stress of a week of 11-hour days in a windowless office in Cannes drains from the legs with each pedal stroke. We cycle through tiny villages perchés, see cows out to pasture, and pass under a bridge that leads only to a chapel high on a ridge, presiding over the deep gorge we've just climbed. Glimpsing white-capped peaks, we climb up to the Col de Turini, where at 1,607m patches of snow still sit by the road, melting in the heat.
Cycling from the seaside has a certain neatness, and certain compensations – here, a 47km downhill from the top of Turini, back to the Promenade des Anglais, where we must negotiate cars, scooters and crowds. After the emptiness above even the street furniture seems intrusive. Graeme mentions in his Southern Alps volume meeting a local rider who says something similar: "Down there, on the coast, you're braking the whole time because of the traffic, but up here it's quiet, the roads are empty, the birds are singing."
We say goodbye and John peels off towards his apartment, leaving me with 35 congested kilometres along the coast back to Cannes. "Don't tell anyone," he repeats, as he leaves.

Watson Realty Corp.
7281 Deercreek Club Road
Jacksonville, FL
Office: (904) 923-4485
We worked with Clair Corbett and her partner, Dave. Both were very professional but also very nice. They dropped everything more than once to accommodate my wife and helped us with the sale of our old home even though it was sold by us to an acquaintance. Being self employed, I had problems getting a mortgage. Clair arranged a meeting with the Watson realty mortgage group and made the whole process much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home in the Jacksonville area
Since 1988, I have bought and sold homes in a several states. I have never had such poor service in selling a home as I did with Watson Realty of Gainesville. The lack of communication would have been laughable had I not needed to sell the property so badly. I would have switched to a different realtor company had I not been in the middle of a potential buyer contract, before I knew how bad a service I was going to receive from Watson Realty. The problems: 1) rarely, would the agent respo... More
Be careful that your Watson realtor is protecting your interests rather than her own. In order to make sure the sale went through, my realtor sided with the seller's realtor and disputed the amount of the appraisal, indicating it was low. Unfortunately this did not assist in my negotiations to buy the home.
During my first year of leasing with Watson, my property manager named Burt Briel would not return my calls-ever. She only contacted me by email after I called her for any problems. My #1 complaint is lack of communication. Example: The air conditioner hadn't been serviced since 2009 and it is now 2012. The homeowner and Burt Briel came to my home on 5/15/12 and told me that it would be done. Requesting that I remind Burt Briel the next day to have the job done, she emailed me back the... More
Sandra Scott was the listing agent for our transaction, and she was very professional and friendly throughout the process when working with my realtor (buyer's realtor) and me.
Tom Chao (Watson Realty) provided excellent service and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for property in Ponte Vedra and the Jacksonville area.
We loved Elise Beard! She was on top of every aspect of our home sale. Very knowledgeable and organized. We recommend her to anyone considering buying a home.

1. | cyberchondriac | ||
September 24, 2009 Urban Word of the Day
Someone who spends their time searching medical websites for diseases they convince themselves they actually have
Similiar to a hyperchondriac 'Then i went on this website and found out that i actually have diabetes AND chronic fatigue!'
'Dude...you're a cyberchondriac' |
2. | cyberchondriac | ||
a hypochondriac who imagines that he or she has a particular disease based on medical information gleaned from the Internet.
Ever since Kristian turned 40, she has become such a cyberchondriac. Now she spends all her free time looking up her ailments on Web MD.
3. | Cyberchondriac | ||
Someone who uses popular social networking site Facebook to openly discuss their health issues / fights with their partner / dramas at work / how fat they are / take a swipe at someone else / whinge about life / announce they're grieving a loss / generally be emo. Their whingy shit usually takes up a whole bunch of screen space and is generally a repetitive bore to read. Girl 1: Wow, Amy has become such a cyberchondriac lately, all her status updates are about her wanting attention!
Amy is feelin sick today.. runny nose, headache, flu, dont wanna get outta bed, hatin life since my friend died - gonna miss U bro... still gotta go to work though wow Im such a trooper! Girl 2: I know! Im so sick of Jess whinging about how fat she is... Jess is so ova bein so fat!!! |
4. | cyberchondriac | ||
Someone who is convinced that anything that goes wrong with their PC is a result of the newest computer virus. Whether or not they have any information at all to justify this claim. The common household cyberchondriac is just a retard that doesn't know how to use their computer... And tells themselves (and others) that it is due to "the viruses". A common misdiagnosis of Cyberchondria is in regards to someone who is simply paranoid and thinks their computer always has viruses. This is incorrect. A simple way to differentiate is that cyberchondriacs only believe they have viruses in regards to the functionality, usability, or otherwise mechanical well being of their PC. A paranoid person always thinks they have viruses regardless if their machine is appearing to work without incidence. (Joe's computer starts going crazy when he clicks on something)
Rob: "What did you just do?" Joe: "I don't know," (<--- take note of that phrase) "but my computer keeps going crazy. It's probably because of some new virus." Bob: "Really?" (Joe stares forward into space with a blank look on his face that only serves to reveal the absence of any intelligent fraction of a brain, and an IQ below 70.) Rob: (Whispers to Bob) "It's okay, he's just a cyberchondriac." |

Anna Kooiman reports on severe weather

Well -- dangerous storm system is sleeping through the US at this hour tornado warnings and watches are now in effect from Ohio to the gulf states the National Weather Service is getting hundreds of reports of hail strong winds and even some twisters.
Those storms have knocked out power to thousands of folks damaging homes and there's been at least one report.
Of someone who was injured by lightning and employment is joining us now from our New York City newsroom with -- all this and -- what's the latest.
Well -- -- -- -- strong winds are expected here in the northeast a little later today conditions are changing quickly and severe weather threats are shifting east.
After a major storm system has already torn through the nation's midsection and much -- the south.
Fox News meteorologist Maria Molina telling me today's biggest tornado threat is from Alabama to West Virginia but severe weather is possible anywhere from the Florida Panhandle to Pennsylvania in New Jersey.
Widespread flooding in Tennessee saturating the ground and causing trees and power lines to topple at least one death confirmed by police there.
One man say high winds ripped the roof right off is building -- three people huddled inside under -- -- It's demolished -- booted out of poured concrete.
Brought forward solid blue rebar in it and it toward all the faces.
Can't imagine what it needed to be over.
Approach into -- miles an -- No -- the national Oceanic and atmosphere administration reporting tornado damage in Arkansas Missouri Mississippi in Indiana.
According to reports one person in Arkansas was struck by lightning in 2 people injured in central Kentucky.
When a mobile home blew right off its foundation and who led this is all happening as cold and warm weather systems are really colliding with one another.
Yeah -- you know what a difference from the Arctic blast much of the nation experience last week.
-- -- tornado warnings are more typical April may and June and it just last week's snow and black ice plaguing much of the midwest and northeast.
Sub zero temperatures and bone chilling wind chills and residents bundling up and then yesterday.
Unseasonably mild -- skyrocketing to the sixties allowing folks appeal -- but up because some even breaking -- the flip flops.
Weather prediction technology has become more sophisticated in recent years and they're really enabling more of a warning period for severe weather.
The US is experiencing its longest run since records began between deaths caused by tornadoes -- out 200 in 21 day this we're on a wild roller -- and a no doubt about that.
Thank you --

I just saw another episode of Kitchen Crashers today absolutely DESTROY perfectly good solid wood cabinets with sledgehammers -- not to mention the windows, sinks, and many other items that should be recycled or re-used. It's totally irresponsible. If the show was to take the minimal additional time to remove the items properly, most items could go into another home or be recycled for producing new items rather than rotting away in a landfill. SHAME ON YOU DIY and HGTV! So many of your shows are guilty of this behavior. You're teaching your viewers VERY unethical rehab tactics! | |||
Lots of threads on this topic here. The facts make for interesting reading. Jaybee | ||||
Ktaylorsf: What you're saying is perfectly reasonable from your perspective. But, you're just not taking into account that a spectacle creates public interest, and that in turn increases viewership. That's a good thing for the DIY Network because it makes their time slot more valuable to rent advertising time in, and it's that increase in revenue from advertising that keeps the show from being cut... (and being replaced with Origami Today with Dave Nelson, for example) even if all of those new viewers are MAD AS HE11 at DIY Network for smashing perfectly good stuff someone else could use. PS: Now you also know why professional wrestlers act so crazy all the time. No one would watch those shows if they knew all the wrestlers change in the same locker rooms without incident before and after the shows. Ditto for Jerry Springer and his Circus.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Nestor, | ||||
just took some stuff to our local ReUse Center, which benefits Habitat for Humanity. there was more crud in the dumpster than there was in the receiving room. nobody wants 50s cabinets with dirt an inch thick, chipped sinks, grody drain parts, leaky faucets. there were some nice cut ends off granite slabs, however, and they took some interesting vintage lamps and a nice bathroom sink. I got a half-full 500 foot spool of 5000 volt test lead wire there a year back, some old hardware store closed or cleared out the cruft. four bucks. don't overlook a stroll there if you have a big project going. it means when you volunteer for a paint-a-thon, like we did a couple years back, and find there is a concrete shelf all around the house that tips into the wall instead of out, they can come up with some hydraulic cement and plastic to at least insure the water that's flowing in there will bypass the studs and flow out underneath. it's a hack, but the house won't fall apart, and the little old lady will get to live out her days in HER house, and not be sent packing by the man who condemns unpainted and unfit homes. Scope Of Work, alas, did not permit taking the material out and re-setting the slope right, I was informed.This message has been edited. Last edited by: swschrad, sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
I just maintain that there is something to be learned from the fact that Jerry Springer and the World Wrestling Federation consistantly get higher ratings than Washington Week in Review. People want entertainment, an a spectacle happening right before your eyes is entertainment. | ||||

Kept you waiting, huh?
So, every time I post something to the Limit Break Radio Facebook page I will inevitably get a ton of messages asking if I have any intention of bringing LBR back from 'hiatus' status. So, I thought it might be a good time to give you guys a little update.
Back around the time LBR stopped was when my time spent on FFXI hit a low point. I had no job, I had to move out of my apartment and, at the time, it looked like the only new events FFXI would support would be Voidwalker NMs and rehashed older events like Dynamis, Slavage or Nyzul. That didn't seem like very much fun for me, so I stopped logging in. Because I stopped logging in, I didn't feel I could speak about the game in the same way I would if I were logging in and playing. I happen to think this does a serious disservice to listeners. Hosts must have a connection with their subject matter. For a while, I just had no words to say about Final Fantasy XI.
Of course, that was then, this is now.
In the last two years I've made a few attempts to get back into Final Fantasy XI. I leveled Red Mage to 99 (well 98 technically I guess), made a brief run at getting an Empyrean Weapon with Eskalia, and transferred to Ragnarok with the help of Hyshio. Each time, my interest in the game would wain and I would stop logging in again. But, I have also found a great job that I love and takes up a lot of my time. I've hosted some other podcasts. I'm looking to move into an actual house and start a new chapter of my life and it feels really really good. I've also felt the FFXI itch for a few weeks and started logging back in to start trying some of the new Seekers of Adoulin content. I just got my first Delve weapon and have started leveling a Rune Fencer (lol, I know, I know). I am finding I have words to say about Final Fantasy XI again. It feels good.
I think about Limit Break Radio a lot. I miss the community, I miss reading emails and tweets. I've toyed with the idea of making new Limit Break Radio episodes. But I have to admit to all of you, I'm a little apprehensive. I know that, if LBR were to come back, I could never possibly be the same. It might not even come close to the old shows. But maybe that's not a bad thing? Limit Break Radio has already had a few different incarnations so maybe a whole new approach should be taken. I'm not sure yet.
So I want to know what you all think. How many people out there would listen to new Limit Break Radio episodes? I also worry about the future of Final Fantasy XI. It's no secret that FFXI's population is hurting. Even with SoA's release, the game seems really empty at times. And with Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn so close to release it will inevitably pull players away from FFXI in the future. What do you think FFXI's future looks like? Are you just killing time until ARR? What are your thoughts on SoA? Please share your thoughts through emails, tweets or Facebook posts.
I want to thank everyone that has sent me messages, emails, Facebook posts and Tweets sharing their fond memories of the show and the cast. It's always nice to be reminded that something you helped make meant enough to somebody that they take time out of their day to tell you how much they liked it. I can't tell you how much that means to me.
I don't want to get too many peoples hopes up that Limit Break Radio is definitely coming back. I am considering my options and want to know what you think.
Thank you all so much

The Devil's Blood
The Time Of No Time Evermore
You can't always judge a book by its cover, and you can't always judge a band by its name. A name like The Devil's Blood, to me, screams black metal. Photos of the band performing covered in blood and the ramblings about ritual and sacrifice on the band's Myspace page only lend credence to such an assumption. The Devil's Blood, however, do not play black metal nor, in fact, any sort of metal at all. This Dutch act's full-length debut, The Time of No Time Evermore, is a rock record and not even a particularly hard-rocking one at that. The Devil's Blood play a sort a retro-leaning, vaguely psychedelic rock highlighted by the larger than life vocals of the band's frontwoman, known only as "F."
The Devil's Blood, from what I gather from the blurbs of text on the band's website, intends its music to be the soundtrack to a sort of grand Satanic ritual, wherein the participants groove to the music, fuck like beasts and maybe sacrifice a few people. Or maybe that is just shtick. In any case, The Devil's Blood's music is entirely too pleasant to inspire such wanton acts of lust and cruelty. While the band does deal in minor keys, the music is far less abrasive than anything your average metal fan will be accustomed to. Furthermore, if I had to choose one word to describe Miss F's voice, it would probably be angelic.
The vocals are a huge focal point on The Time of No Time Evermore. F's performance is so rich and multifaceted it is practically a symphony unto itself. The manner in which F layers her vocals brings to mind John Arch. Between backing vocals, harmonies and counter melodies, there has to be, at times, at least half a dozen competing vocal tracks. How F plans to replicate this performance in a live setting is quite a mystery, but it makes for a great sounding record.
The Devil's Blood's music, being vocally focused and rock based, does not emphasize big meaty riffs in the same way metal does. The guitars are only mildly distorted, tending to shimmer and jangle rather than hack and slash. The rhythm playing is oriented more around groove and built from simple chord progressions. That is not to say, however that the guitars do not play an important role; the album is riddled with harmonized lead lines, melodic hooks and scorching solos that shine just as brightly as the vocals.
While none of the material on The Time of No Time Evermore is sub-par, some tracks burn hotter than others. The wistful tune "The Yonder Beckons" features a delicate, haunting performance by F, and some dual lead work that reminds me of the Eagles. With "Christ or Cocaine," the band gets some swagger in its step. The track's infectious throbbing pulse is capped off by a funky harmonized guitar hook (I told you they were everywhere) and some particularly flashy leads. "The Anti-Kosmik Magick" closes the album one of F's stronger choruses of the album, and fills out its eleven-minute running time (eight and a half if you don't count the two and a half minutes of noisy bullshit at the end), with an absolutely epic, solo-filled outro.
The Time of No Time Evermore does not grant me anything resembling the "spiritual release" The Devil's Blood seems to be aiming for, but it is one hell of an enjoyable listen, particularly when relaxing on a warm summer evening, Heineken in hand. Obviously, this is not a metal record, but I can see it having great appeal for those who appreciate bands like Witchcraft, early Pentagram, Thin Lizzy and good rock music in general.

According to the Florida Times-Union, Anthony Blake Bannister, 20, died Tuesday after he was shot in a Walmart parking lot in Jacksonville, Fla.
The shooting happened about 8:10 p.m. Tuesday, the Times-Union reported. Bannister and another man were inside a silver Chevrolet Impala when a third man approached on foot. That person may have gotten into the car before shots were fired.
Bannister was driven to a nearby gas station and then to a hospital, where he later died, the paper reported. The shooting remains under investigation by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Bannister was born in Rome on Nov. 20, 1992. He graduated in 2011 from Chattooga High and was pursuing a master welder certification in Jacksonville.
The memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday at the Bannister's family home in Summerville.

This edition of "Way Back Wednesday" is FIRST DATE!
I think my first date was Homecoming my freshman year of high school. Not suuuuper exciting, but fun nonetheless! (By the way, I'm very glad that we moved out of our storage unit because all of my scrapbooks were in there. I am able to scan and share old pictures!!!)
My most meaningful first date is with my dear hubby, Mr. Greg O. Yeah, it's not "way back" because it was only three years ago, but whatever!
Greg and I met at a mutual friend's wedding in his home town in the great state of Massachusetts. At the time, he was living in Dallas, me in Houston. We eyed each other quite a bit at the wedding and started facebooking when we got home.
Turns out Greg had a business trip to Houston a few weeks later. Our facebook messages over the matter turned from "we should all get together" to "we should get together." We started talking on the phone, and we set a date! We planned on going to dinner that evening after his business meeting.
After a series of quite fortunate events (he missed his flight that was supposed to take him into a different airport, putting him at the airport close to where I lived, so I offered to pick him up...hence us spending more time together), and a long-running business meeting, we finally went to dinner together.
We dined at this amazing restaurant, Americas. It's a South American inspired restaurant, complete with banana chips, fried plantains, and tres leches! But on an amazingly sophisticated level.
Our first date was probably the best date in the history of first dates. I'm not just saying that. It really was. There was never an awkward moment. We had plenty to talk about and we instantly clicked. The food was amazing. I even remember what I ate: Chilean Sea Bass, Greg had some kind of white fish - I think Tilapia. For dessert - tres leches (aka heaven on a plate)! I knew Greg was something pretty special after this first date. He gave me major butterflies!! Like the biggest butterflies I've ever had!!

Green energy startups are feeling the sting of rejection by investors concerned about falling energy prices and the future of government support.
The boom in natural gas has hurt the competitiveness of alternative energy. And proposed budget cuts would force the government to dial back support of wind farms, solar panel manufacturers, ethanol producers and makers of alternative fuel cars.
In response, investors say they won't lend money to green energy companies, especially startups, because they haven't proven they can be profitable on their own.
Rosa McCormick, managing director of Wild Basin Investments in Austin, Texas, said that's particularly true for doomed solar panel makers, such as Solyndra and Abound Solar. U.S. companies can't lower prices enough to compete with solar panels imported from China, which provides big subsidies.
"The bottom fell out of that market," McCormick said. "No one wants to touch that. It's toxic from an investor point of view."
U.S. wind energy companies face a different set of problems.
A federal tax credit that pays 30 percent of costs for new wind farms is set to expire at the end of this year. If Congress doesn't renew it, new turbine construction could "dramatically slow," according to a recent Energy Department report.
Orders for new turbines for 2013 have already dropped, and the industry is in for "a significant shakeup," according to Matt Kaplan, associate director of IHS Emerging Energy Research in Cambridge, Mass.
Another headwind moving against that industry -- and the growth of green energy in general -- is the falling price of natural gas, which is less than half what it was just a few years ago. Why invest in alternative energy when natural gas is abundant and cheap?
Danotek Motion Technologies is already feeling the market pressure. The wind energy firm in Canton, Mich., is building magnet-powered generators that serve as the heart of wind turbines. It had 50 employees in 2010 and planned to hire hundreds more. Instead, it has scaled back to 30 workers.

High Chest of Drawers
Browse current and upcoming exhibitions and events.
This artwork is currently on display in Gallery 713
Japanning, a Western imitation of oriental lacquerwork, became fashionable in the colonies after 1700. A stylish surface treatment in which motifs of vaguely Far Eastern origin were raised, gilded, and varnished, japanning was applied to standard furniture forms and, when bright and new, must have produced a dazzling effect. Here the motifs are arranged on a solid black ground in a relaxed, undulating pattern in which people, animals, oversize flowers, and tiny pavilions happily coexist. A new form introduced in the colonies in the 1690s at the same time as the early Baroque style—known in America as the William and Mary style—the high chest of drawers was the most prestigious piece of furniture in the early eighteenth century. Built in separate upper and lower sections, it was characterized in this period by a skirt and stretchers enlivened by curves and turned legs and feet on which bulbous shapes were boldly juxtaposed to narrow tapers. One of the earliest American examples of japanning, this high chest descended in the Pickman family of Boston and Salem.
Benjamin Pickman, Salem, Massachusetts, until died 1773; his son, Benjamin Pickman, Salem, until died 1819; his grandson, Thomas Pickman; his daughter, Mary Pickman Loring; by descent, George B. Loring; by descent, Lawrence Dwight, until died 1918; his fiancee, Harriet Amory (later Mrs. Warwick Potter), New York, until 1940

Same for thunderbolt.Also will it never miss hitting a Pokemon in the air.
Thunder can hit Pokemon using Fly and Bounce, the latter dealing double damage.
Yes thunder can hit Pokemon using fly and hit bounce too. Only bounce gets double damage if that's the boost your taking about. Nothing is special about thunderbolt though...
Thunder's attack won't increase if the opponent is in the air, same thing for Thunderbolt. It can still miss if the opponent is in mid-air, though. The only way it will never miss is if you have Rain.
Thunderbolt will not work. It does not hit with flight.
And unless you have an Electric Gem, Life Orb, Choice Specs, or another Power-Boosting item, Thunder is a usual Thunder.

Xi Jinping takes helm of China amid reform calls
BEIJING (AP) — Xi Jinping became leader of China on Thursday, securing the Communist Party's top spot and oversight of the military in a political transition upset by scandals that have added fuel to public demands for change as the country faces slower economic growth.
Xi's elevation to party general secretary and chairman of the commission that oversees the People's Liberation Army was announced in a dispatch by the state Xinhua News Agency, following a weeklong party congress that underlined the communists' determination to remain firmly in power.
Xi will lead a new seven-member collective leadership of technocrats: Li Keqiang, the presumptive premier; Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang; Shanghai party secretary Yu Zhengsheng; propaganda chief Liu Yunshan; Vice Premier Wang Qishan; and Tianjin party secretary Zhang Gaoli.
The members of the new panel filed onto stage at the Great Hall of the People and Xi addressed the gathered reporters.
The son of a party elder, and vice president for the past five years, Xi will lead the world's No. 2 economy and newest diplomatic and military power amid increasingly vocal calls for economic and political reform — including from within the 82-million-member party itself.
At ease with colleagues, Xi takes over the party leadership from the stiff and technocratic Hu Jintao, and is expected to assume the presidency in March.

The Oral History of Matador Records, Part Three
by Amar Syal Oct 01, 2010 at 12:58 AMClick here to read part one or here to read part two.
By the time Matador Records entered the '00s they found themselves, somewhat surprisingly, having an incredible amount of commercial success. Gone were the days of overlooked Japanese experimentalists. Instead, the label was inking deals with emerging acts like New York City gloom rockers Interpol, while also churning out hit records by indie chanteuse Chan Marshall (otherwise known as Cat Power).
And while, sure, that amounted to one of the most exciting periods in the label's history—a genuine comeback, by most standards—what really made Matador special in the '00s was their willingness to go out on a limb for artists who they truly believed in, like hardcore experimentalists Fucked Up or fuzzed out rocker Kurt Vile. And, truth be told, it is that dedication that is likely to keep them here for another 21 years.

Former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann answered the question about whether she personally would take a pay cut -- asked several times -- by talking only about her staff.
"We'd like to keep everybody on the payroll if we can, but they'll have to work fewer hours. So, we're looking at reductions in our staff, and that's what we need to do," said the Minnesota Republican.
Two members of Congress returned part of their office budgets to the Treasury this week.
Standing in front of an oversized check for $600,000 -- or 20% of his budget -- Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, said his office treated funds "like it's our money, or your money, and we look at every expenditure."
Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-South Carolina, said he would return $160,000 to the federal government, or 12% of his office budget.
One of the biggest opponents of Congress cutting its pay is one of the wealthiest, Nancy Pelosi.
The House Democratic leader says she knows other members of Congress are not as financially fortunate.
"Most of my colleagues are the breadwinners in their families, said Pelosi. "A pay cut, to me, doesn't mean as much."
