This is a hand stitched fabric button, made by wrapping two fabric shapes around a felt core, and stitching back to back. The top fabric is reclaimed from a beautiful lilac silk tie. The back fabric is white cotton. The edge of the button is hand stitched with white cotton needlelace (or grappe).
This traditional method creates buttons that are soft but firm. Fabric buttons are suitable for a variety of uses: children's clothes and toys, millinery, scrapbooking, embroidery or textile projects, costume/cosplay.They do not have metal/plastic inserts or shanks. This fabric button can be laundered gently by hand washing or dry cleaning.
Fabric buttons can be sewn to clothing or paper the same way you sew on regular buttons: by sewing right through the button! Or you can just sew the fabric backing to your surface, creating an invisible join. Alternatively, I can add a handwoven loop or bar on the back as a small shank for attachment, please note when ordering if you would like this addition.

For your reference, here is a list of articles that explain how to claim and build out your law firm's Company Profile on LinkedIn.
The Company Profile feature benefitted from several excellent enhancements late last year (including the ability to add news feeds and for individuals to "follow" companies of interest). Lately we've seen increased interest by law firms to build a corporate profile on the professional network. Here's how:
– Company Pages Overview | LinkedIn Learning Center (LinkedIn)
Direct from the source, an overview of Company Pages from the
LinkedIn Learning Center. Includes a thorough explanation of the various
components of a Company Profile (how to use them and why they matter).
The FAQ section includes a link to getting started with your firm's profile…
– How to Create a Company Profile on LinkedIn (SitePoint)
A good, basic overview of how to start a Company Profile on LinkedIn, with screenshots for easy reference…
– LinkedIn Company Profile Tips with Viveka Von Rosen (MOSTraining)
Guest post by @LinkedInExpert Viveka Von Rosen, including video. Viveka touches upon the fact that anyone with a company email address can start a firm profile, so a first step should be to see if yours already exists. Also: tips about using relevant keywords in your company description…
– 8 Steps to a Healthier LinkedIn Company Profile (RWE Marketing)
Besides some of the more obvious but worthwhile suggestions (ie, create an Overview page) be sure to see step #2. Covers the creation of a Services page, including the use of rotating banner images (and, if you have the knowledge for it, Google analytics to track click-throughs)…
– How to Optimize Your LinkedIn Company Profile for Recruiting (Mashable)
A great post with misleading title from Mashable. The tips included herein are valuable for any firm (recruiting or otherwise) once they've established a basic firm profile on LinkedIn. Of note is point #2: "Employee profiles drive information." In other words, once you've established your corporate presence on the world's largest professional network, be sure the lawyers in your firm are doing the same…
Examples? Here are a handful of law firms with completed LinkedIn Company Profiles. All have tethered their own JD Supra legal updates to their profiles. Get in touch with us if you'd like to do the same:
Fenwick & West – Bryan Cave – Davis Wright Tremaine – Fisher & Phillips – Ropes & Gray – Wilson Sonsini …
And of course no post about law firms on LinkedIn would be complete without a prod to install Legal Updates on LinkedIn>>

This Sunday I saw the one of the most talked about psychological thrillers of all times. And realised one thing, a classic always stays a classic. One thing about timeless movies is that they always get the basics right.
Character: They'll always be distinct. At least one of them will be. Here it was Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a twisted psychiatrist turned cannibal. Though his hair were neatly combed to the back, his dominating blue eyes sent a chill down my spine.
Plot: This is what keeps the story together. And more contradictory it is, stronger it becomes. The trick is to keep it believable. Here, the idea was to catch a psychopath killer with the help of a bigger, more twisted sociopath who's blessed with an uncanny brilliance to understand human psyche.
Twist: Hiding in plain sight, Dr. Lecter fools Swat, the entire police force and everyone who's trying to catch him.
Attention to detail: Jack Crawford, the psychiatrist who sends Charlice Starling, a young FBI officer, to lure Dr. Lecter for help, never mentions his intentions till she visits him twice. Why? Because a genius psychopath with an uncanny instinct would've detected her motive, if she had one, in the first place. So, the best way to shield that was to never give her a strong reason for her visits. This kind of thinking and counter thinking is what produces a gem of a story.
As we move towards the era of execution and special-effects-oriented film making, where Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee become more than just vehicles every 20 minutes, story takes a back seat. It's imperative not to forget the basics is what makes the movie an all-time movie, execution will be laughed at as newer more advanced execution takes over. But a great story will always be appreciated.

Master and Apprentice
It's all about good times and mutual respect
Takapuna's fast-growing reputation as one of Auckland best destinations for bars and eateries gets a further shot in the arm early in March with the launch of 'Master and Apprentice' a completely new craft beer bar and eatery being opened on Hurstmere Road.
Master and Apprentice represents the first collaboration between two well-known North Shore publicans, Kevin Schwass and Paul Lomax. The two have combined experience of more than three decades in Takapuna. Kevin (affectionately known as Schwassie to most) over two decades and Paul close to a decade. I guess that makes Kevin the Master and Paul the Apprentice?
As I got together with the duo to talk about their new venture in mid-February, builders were full steam ahead transforming the old Blankenberge Belgian Beer Café into the Master & Apprentice. It certainly is a makeover. The only thing that will remain vaguely similar to patrons will be where to find the toilets from Blankenberge.
Blankenberge has been a fixture on the 'Hurstmere Strip' for 15 years, so why the change?
"Blankenberge has been an institution in Takapuna for a long time but it had done its dash," explained Schwassie in his usual forthright manner. "It was time for something new so I rang Paul to get his thoughts. I was actually digging to see who would be the best designer for a new concept bar. Over the ensuing beer we decided to get together. We are starting with Master and Apprentice and then we will also be making some exciting changes to Florrie McGreal's Irish Pub as well. It's the Shore's only Irish bar so it will be staying, but enhancements will follow shortly after the opening of Master and Apprentice."
"We've been mates for quite a few years," adds Paul Lomax. "While we've been staunch competitors we have always got on well with a mutual respect for one another. This pub game is one of the hardest of all so we do respect the fact that we have been successful over a long period. We reckon it's a pretty good fit and we are both excited about this new concept we have come up with for the Master and Apprentice. Locals will love it."
Kevin and Paul say that between them they have operated every bar in the block. It is ironic that the new bar will be a craft beer bar as Schwassie was ahead of his time when he opened R'toto Pub & Café and the Rangitoto Brewing Company – with its own brewery on the site – way back in 1996. He had just come from a decade managing and owning the famous Poenamo Hotel. R'toto and the Rangitoto Brewing Company stayed until 2002 when Blankenberge was introduced and then further changes came a few years later when R'toto became the Macs Hurstmere Road Brew Bar in 2010 under a partnership that Kevin Schwass was involved in. He sold that interest following the establishment of Macs Brew Bar. In 2009, an opportunity came to acquire the neighbouring premises to Blankengerge. Once acquired he set about renovating and reintroducing Florrie McGreal's Irish Pub to the Takapuna pub scene. Florrie's, named after Kevin's grandmother, had been part of the Poenamo from 1993.
Kevin Schwass is well known for his community involvement as a local councillor for many years. In 2010 he was honoured with a Queens Silver Medal (QSM) for his services to the community and hospitality. In 2015 he was inducted into Hospitality New Zealand's "Hall of Fame".
English-born Paul Lomax came to Takapuna in 2007 from Christchurch. A chef (for 25 years) turned publican, Paul loves the hospitality game and came along to operate the Copper Room and Goode Brothers in partnership with Barworks Hospitality Group. He was instrumental in the development of the site into The Elephant Wrestler which was launched just four days before the Rugby World Cup. Since that time he has gone on to open a number of new bars and eateries in other locations, including Northern Union Pub in Silverdale and Pilkingtons in Shortland Street in the City. He still owns both. Paul's expertise with food is playing a big part in the interesting menu being created for Master and Apprentice.
"We believe locals will go wow when they see the new bar," says Paul Lomax. "It will be hard to remember what was there before. Master and Apprentice will be a real meeting place. We will have some great beers, clearly lots of craft beers (13-14), but also many of the much-loved mainstream beers.
"I am excited about the menu. It has been developed with sharing in mind and there will be something to satisfy most appetites. Regulars will know what they are going to get and will love it!. We have even retained a couple of much-loved aspects of Blankenberge for nostalgic reasons – Mussel Madness Monday and Steak Night, which we will call The Butcher's Cuts."
The name for the new bar has significance as well. Master and Apprentice refers to the brewing process (not to Schwassie and Paul!). They share mutual respect. There's always a Master who is passing on knowledge to the Apprentice. The Master is always focused on quality, while the Apprentice provides the edginess. There will be an edginess in the new bar with whiskey and beer tasting trays, a GeorgeFM DJ on Friday nights, ladies nights on Thursday's as well as regular degustation and tasting nights. The striking design that includes prominent skylights to create conservatory-style natural light will also add a great deal.
You don't have to spend too long with the two to pick up that Paul's enthusiasm and energy has given Schwassie a new lease of life. He is focused on reinvigorating the Hurstmere Strip and together they are a formidable team. These days Kevin spends time between a home on the Sunshine Coast in Australia and an apartment in Takapuna. He has found the perfect business partner to fit this lifestyle.
"Takapuna is really growing new legs with hospitality in a number of areas," adds Kevin. "Where we are is the bar precinct. On the waterfront are the eateries and there are quite a few other interesting new eateries as well. We think Master and Apprentice will fit great in the overall mix."

There's something glow-y about a person who truly loves what they're doing. For Jennifer Beatty, the glow comes through in her upcycled art. She managed to tie-in her two passions into one 100-piece series titled "100 Hoopties"—a hooptie being "any car that meets the following: a) Driver must enter car through passenger side; b) Three different brand and size tires (three of them missing hubcaps); c) Exhaust is held up by half a clothes hanger, other half replaces the antenna..." as defined on the ever-entertaining Urban Dictionary. Beatty gives us her own working definition for the poster project:
If you couldn't tell, Beatty is both an avid cyclist and a graphic designer, and she combines her passions in her project, recreating famous graphics ranging from movie posters and works of fine art to video games and logos.
Starting on April 7, 2014, Beatty started creating a new composition every day and plans to keep it up for 100 days—meaning this series will see its end on July 15. This project is one in a group of "100 Days" assignments taken on by the 2014 Masters in Branding graduate students at the School of Visual Arts.
From reflector decals and brake bolts to busted chains and pulley cages, Beatty finds a use for all kinds of parts in the greater silhouette. While a lot of the works are a nod to more recent pop culture references, she includes some design masters in the mix: Ray Eames, Milton Glaser, Paul Rand, Betty Willis (of "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" fame) and Andy Warhol. Each poster on the website comes with a breakdown on the different parts used and a link to the original artist/image.
You can check out the "100 Hoopties" project progression here. She's also selling a pretty solid line-up of schwag featuring her designs—t-shirts, canvas prints, mugs, phone cases, even show curtains. Check them out on Society6.

1989 Toyota Camry LE V6Review
One Of The Most Comfortable,reliable,family Cars I've Owned — I have driven my 1989 Camry v-6 LE Wagon for the last 5 years,after purchasing this rust free vehicle from it's second owner. The 6 cylinder engine has great power and quietly handles it chores of hauling the family. The car has nearly 160,000 miles, I am hoping to see 300,000 before I have to retire it. The folding seats make a useful cargo hauler when needed. I experience 19-20 mpg in town and 25-27 mpg on the highway.

I bought this old mdf bookcase at a consignment store. With a little love and attention this is how it turned out. I added beadboard to the back. I used Miss Mustard Seed's paint formula. She is a genius. I painted the entire bookcase with "creamy" by Sherwin Williams and then I rubbed on and rubbed off Ralph Lauren's Faux effects glaze tinted with expresso bean. I amVERY happy with how it turned out. I painted the top with a chocalate brown paint that i mixed myself to the right color that I wanted. You can really see the beadboard below.
Make it a GREAT DAY!!! Be sure and check us out tomorrow. We will be having a sister vs. sister knock-off contest!!!

No Experience, No Problem: Become a Research Assistant/
When McCormick sophomore Eric Hao saw an email from his professor asking for compensated help on a project, he immediately replied to the professor expressing interest. Hao then spent the academic year working alongside the professor to design a Remotely Operated Vehicle using WiFi.
Perhaps Hao's story seems like a typical undergraduate research story, but there was one crucial catch:
"I had zero real research experience. Absolutely none," Hao said. "The professor emphasized that no research experience was required."
Undergraduate Research Assistant Program (URAP), run by the Office of Undergraduate Research, sponsored the project Hao and his professor worked on. Mary Leighton, URAP coordinator, noted that many students may feel apprehensive taking on research projects because of a lack of experience.
"Everyone is intimidated at first," Leighton said. "But it's perfectly possible to get involved with research without experience. The URAP program is specifically for students with little to no experience."
A focus on research across all disciplines is one of URAP's most significant elements, rather than the traditional STEM subjects that usually come to mind. URAP provides grants to faculty members who might not usually have financial means to hire undergraduate researchers. URAP also provides funding for residential college affiliated faculty fellows working with residential college undergraduate researchers. Student researchers are also compensated $10/hr, earning a maximum of $2,000 throughout the academic year, Past projects have included research in voice coaching for a theater major, anthropology projects, and sports journalism.
The basic process starts from interested students approaching a faculty member and asking if they have any projects in mind. In cases like these, faculty are the ones who submit the proposal with the interested student signed on, but faculty members can also submit a project and leave the undergraduate research position to an open search. Students can find a list of open research projects on the URAP website and then submit their résumés to specific projects.
Contacting faculty members may seem intimidating at first, but Leighton advised students not to overthink the process.
"It's easy to come to Northwestern and feel like everyone knows what to do except you," Leighton said. "But that's not true. Everyone had to start somewhere…even the faculty members were once undergraduates, so they're not as scary as you think."
URAP offers an invaluable opportunity to receive one-on-one mentorship from a faculty member. Hao described his own experience as "truly a collective effort."
"The professor offered really helpful advice and guidance, but was also relatively new to the project," Hao said.
The last day to apply for the 2016-2017 academic year URAP projects is November 8. Students who can't make this deadline can still apply for the summer program. Leighton advised interested students to start reaching out to faculty members in early spring quarter and start planning their project then.
Northwestern designed URAP specifically for students with little to no research experience, funding faculty members and compensating students at a rate of $10 per hour. Students can form bonds with faculty and take part in projects that they're genuinely interested in. As Hao put it, "There's really no reason not to go for it."
More details about the program can be found here.

Much speculation has been made about the origin of our cosmos. The prevailing view however, is that billions of years ago, there was a single point in existence, and this point, containing the sum of the universe, was infinitely dense. This is called the singularity. The singularity eventually exploded, as the name Big Bang suggests, and all the universe contained projected outward, expanding into the void.
Proponents of theistic evolution will no doubt hold that God created the singularity, and set it into motion, but for the atheist, or the material reductionist, how did the singularity come to exist? One of the consequences of the Big Bang Theory is the obviating of the Steady State Theory. The idea that the cosmos is infinite seems to most, as it should, illogical, a la Aquinas' first cause. But if the Big Bang Theory is accurate, and if God does not exist or cause the Big Bang, then where did the original singularity come from? Did it call itself into existence? We know that something cannot come from nothing, so the notion that the singularity created itself, or was spontaneously produced is impossible. It then appears that the singularity always contained existence but this brings us back to the steady state theory.
Some might try to argue that the universe constantly expands and retracts, from singularity to cosmos and back again. However, recent research shows now that singularities cannot actually exist. Much of the Big Bang cosmology was based upon the notion that when stars explode and collapse in on themselves, they create a singularity. However, as Mersini-Houghton, a researcher at UNC-Chapel Hill has published, that when a star collapses it actually loses mass in the form of radiation, and as such, as it collapses inward upon itself, it no longer possesses the mass and density that it did originally, and is subsequently not a black hole as we understand them. The impossibility of the existence of singularities seems to undermine the theory of the Big Bang entirely, by essentially stating that the conditions necessary for the Big Bang to have occurred are impossible.
If the Big Bang began as a singularity, how did it become a singularity in the first place? It appears it could not have been a collapse of the universe from previous, as this would be false on two grounds. First, because it would have lost mass and nothing in the universe can be lost (according to the Conservation Laws), especially not the universe itself, and second, because even if the theory of black holes and the creation of singularities was accurate it would necessitate an infinite regress of expansion and retraction, leaving one with a hybrid of the Steady State Theory and the Big Bang once again.
This new research calls into question the scientific consensus on the origin of the universe. It reduces the Big Bang to a whimper in its effective ability to have existed in the first place as a singularity ad infinitum. Furthermore, even if it could have existed in an infinite regression, it still cannot be its own cause. The collision of particles, supposing that this occurred within the singularity or even as a multiplicity of singularities collided still begs a question that one must answer. How did the movement begin? If two particles are supposed to have collided, from where did they receive their motion in the first place? For an object to move, and by move we mean a change in position, it would be impossible for objects to move without action upon them.
The cosmology behind the Big Bang Theory, also necessitates that the laws of physics not exist until after the Big Bang occurs, hence the reason scientists are unable to deduce what the state of existence was prior to the Big Bang occurring. Unfortunately, this notion that the laws were not ordered until post-Bang draws out the question, how did the Big Bang even occur then? If no laws of physics were in place prior to expansion, then many may infer that there would be a chaotic or relative law of physics acting which happily resulted in fixed laws at a later time, according to the universe's necessity. This would be impossible though as the universe did not have existence yet, so the laws did not have 'existence' yet either according to modern cosmology.
These are questions that everyone should be asking about the Big Bang cosmology whether the new research is proven false or not. If the research is correct and the singularity cannot have existed in the first place, then the Big Bang theory appears null and void. However, should there be an alternate explanation offered later, or the research shown inaccurate, the Big Bang still has implications that reach beyond the grasp of science, insufficiently answered by empirical methods. While many may rebut that science does not yet have the answers, but someday it will, this is no less a faith claim than those who posit that God created the universe ex nihilo.

'Ex-gay' lectures canned
Written by Ron Hughes | 01 April 2011
Written by Ron Hughes | 01 April 2011
A visiting 'ex-gay' speaker has had three lectures in Australia cancelled in the space of two days following pressure from LGBTI rights activists.
A Brisbane Catholic school and two Melbourne councils have cancelled planned events at which Adam Hood - an American who claims he was "cured" of homosexuality - had intended to speak.
Hood has come under fire because of videos posted to YouTube in which he calls homosexuality "an abomination" and said homosexuals deserved to be damned to Hell.
St Columban's College in Caboolture said they had immediately cancelled the group's booking when activists brought the theme of the lectures to their attention.
"Immediately the college became aware of this, I withdrew permission for the meeting to be held on college property," college principal Ann Rebgetz told the Sunshine Coast Daily.
"St Columban's College is a caring, inclusive community, and we will not allow our facilities to be used by those seeking to promote views which are not in line with the Catholic Christian ethos of our community."
A lecture in Prahran in Melbourne's Stonnington council area and one in the Greater Dandenong district were also nixed after their mayors were contacted by activists.
Mayor of Stonnington Melina Sehr, told LGBT advocate Anthony Venn-Brown, Stonnington is "a supportive, inclusive and vibrant municipality that embraces diversity."
"Given the nature of the event and the safety concerns that have been raised, Council has requested that New Hope Foundation cancel the event."
Venn-Brown told MCV councils and their staff needed to be educated on in LGBTI issues.
"Most of all, they need to learn about the impact outdated and negative views have on LGBTI youth," Venn-Brown said. "Not just that, but these views also encourage other young people into bullying those they perceive as LGBTI."
The third lecture in Noble Park was also cancelled.
Brisbane psychologist Paul Martin – once an 'ex-gay' leader himself - told MCV he had spoken to Greater Dandenong mayor Roz Blades. At first the council intended to uphold the hiring agreement but then realised the exact nature of the event.
"I told her about the psychological damage these 'ex-gay' programs can do to people. I've been working in this field for 15 years," Martin said.
"After considering the arguments and having received a number of emails and phone calls, the mayor told me the council would cancel the meeting."
"If you rally enough support together, people do listen," Martin said. "It's a very good result."

Feb 13 (Reuters) - Storm Burglind will cost the insured property market 643 million euros ($791.8 million), based on loss data collected from affected insurers after the event, Zurich-based catastrophe data provider PERILS estimates.
The winter storm caused significant damage across Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Britain between Jan. 2 and Jan. 3.
PERILS said the insurance loss levels for the affected countries were not unusual, with the exception of Switzerland, where the impact was at a level PERILS would expect only once in about 13 years.
The initial loss estimate will be updated in April, PERILS added.
Insurance broker Aon Benfeld said last month that rain and winds from storm Burglind caused an estimated 300 million euros in insured losses in Germany.
The storm follows weather catastrophes that led to insurers having to pay record claims of about $135 billion last year after a run of hurricanes, earthquakes and fires in North America.

Ménétrier's disease (also known as hyperplastic hypersecretory gastropathy and giant hypertrophic gastropathy and named after a French physician Pierre Eugène Ménétrier, 1859-1935), is a disorder in which the gastric mucosal folds (rugae) are enlarged[1] (and the total weight of the stomach is increased), making the surface of the stomach look a bit like the brain gyri. The altered gastric mucosa secretes massive amounts of mucus, resulting in low plasma protein levels. The tissue may be inflamed and may contain ulcers. The disease also causes glands in the stomach to waste away and causes the body to lose fluid containing a protein called albumin.
There are two forms of the disease: a childhood form and an adult form. The childhood form has a better prognosis. It affects boys and girls equally, most often after they have a viral illness caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) or a bacterial infection caused by Helicobacter pylori. Children are not born with this disease, and it is not passed from parents to their children.[2]. The adult form linked with overexpression of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α). The adult variety is four times more common in men, primarily affecting men between ages 30 and 60.
The presenting symptoms are
- pain after the meal (=postprandial), relieved by antacids, is very usual
- weight loss, cachexia
- peripheral edema, ascites
- anemia symptoms secondary to blood loss
Ménétrier's disease increases a person's risk of stomach cancer.[3]
Microscopically, the disease is characterized by hyperplasia of the crypts, which are elongated and may appear cystic or corkscrew-like. Since it predisposes to stomach cancer, periodic endoscopic surveillance is mandated. CMV-related Ménétrier is often self-limited.
The disease must be diagnosed by x-ray (rare) or endoscopy and biopsy of the stomach. In adults, treatment may include medications to relieve ulcer symptoms and treat inflammation, and a high-protein diet. Part or all of the stomach may need to be removed if the disease is severe. Pediatric cases are normally treated for symptoms with the disease clearing up in weeks to months.
Other forms of hyperplastic gastropathy include Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Ménétrier's disease is a rare, idiopathic, premalignant disease of the mucous glands of the stomach characterized by massive gastric folds. The most commonly involved location is the fundus and corpus of the stomach.Ménétrier's disease is also known as cystic gastritis, giant hypertrophic gastritis, giant mucosal hypertrophy and hyperplastic gastropathy.
Historical Perspective
In 1888, Pierre Ménétrier, a French pathologist coined the term Ménétrier's disease after describing mucosal hypertrophy involving part or all of the stomach.
There is no established system for the classification of Ménétrier's disease.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Ménétrier's disease is seen more commonly seen in the age group of 30 to 50 years. Men are more commonly affected than females.
The exact pathogenesis of Ménétrier's disease is not fully understood. However, it is thought that Ménétrier's disease is often due to excessive secretion of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α).(PMID 18321437) seen especially in infections such as CMV, H.pylori and herpes simplex.
- Overproduction of transforming growth factor-α leads to increased signaling of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a transmembrane receptor with tyrosine kinase activity.
- Upon activation, the EGFR activates a series of intracellular signaling pathways that leads to increased cell proliferation.
- Excessive secretion of TGF-α may lead to selective expansion of gastric foveolar cell (surface mucous cells) hyperplasia with edema, and variable degrees of inflammation.
- Hyperplasia of gastric foveolar cells leads to excessive mucus production and enlarged gastric folds. The gastric pits are elongated and tortuous.
- Other gastric glands such as chief or parietal cells are replaced by mucus-secreting cells leading to decreased effective gastric acid production.
- In Ménétrier's disease, there is widening of gap junctions and tight junctions between cells as compared to healthy subjects, and it is believed that proteins traverse from the gastric mucosa into the gastric lumen through these widened spaces. Hence, an increase in intracellular permeability results in protein-losing enteropathy.
- In a nutshell, mucosal hyperplasia with decreased number of chief and parietal cells leads to excessive mucus production, protein loss from the stomach and subsequent hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria. However, Ménétrier's disease is typically but not always associated with protein-losing gastropathy and hypochlorhydria.
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Ménétrier's disease include mutation in SMAD4 associated with juvenile polyposis can lead to a mixed hypertrophic/polypoid gastropathy.
- A dominant 1244_1247delACAG mutation of SMAD4 was identified in each of the subjects with JPS as well as in each of the subjects with MD. (PMID 27375208)
- Overproduction of TGF-α leads to overactivation of EGF which may lead to hyperplasia of surface mucous cells.
- Some researchers suggest a unifying hypothesis which suggest TGF-β–SMAD4 pathway inactivation and TGF-α overexpression related to Hp infection ultimately leads to Ménétrier's disease(PMID 22748914).
Gross pathology
- Polypoid gastric folds
- Large cobblestone or cerebriform gastric folds
Microscopic pathology
- Irregular hypertrophic mucosal folds
- Mucosa have swollen, spongy appearance subdivided by creases
- In rare cases, Ménétrier's disease may have hyperplastic gastric polyps
- Decreased parietal and chief cells with replacement by mucous glands.
- Intraepithelial lymphocytosis
- Glandular tortuosity and dilation,
- Marked reduction in parietal cell number
Associated conditions
- H.pylori infection
- CMV gastritis
- Gastric cancer
- Pulmonary infections
- Thrombotic conditions
Similar conditions
Conditions that may present with enlarged gastric folds other than Ménétrier's disease include Zollinger Ellison syndrome, inflammatory gastritis, gastric adenomas (lymphoma, carcinoma), granulomatous gastritis, gastric varices, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome and hereditary conditions (such as Familial adenomatous polyposis)

Diagnostic Criteria
- There is no established criteria for the diagnosis of Ménétrier's disease. However, an endoscopic biopsy, chromium-labeled albumin test (GI protein loss), and 24-hour pH monitoring can establish the diagnosis of Ménétrier's disease. Endoscopy shows typical gastric mucosal changes and biopsy establishes the histopathological variant of Ménétrier's disease and also to rule out gastric carcinoma or lymphoma.
- The most accurate method to diagnose Ménétrier's disease includes testing such as oesophagogastroduodenoscopy with gastric pH, serum albumin and full-thickness mucosal biopsy of the involved gastric mucosa.
Risk Factors
Overstimulation by pituitary, hypothalamic, or vagal stimuli.
History and Symptoms
- Common symptoms of Ménétrier's disease include epigastric pain, dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, and edema.
- Younger age of onset, male predominance
The mean age at diagnosis is 5 yr (range: 2 days-17 yr) Ménétrier's disease usually lasts 2-14 wk, with complete resolution being the rule
Physical Examination
Patients with Ménétrier's disease usually appear fatigued. Common physical examination findings of patients with Ménétrier's disease includes abdominal tenderness with positive GI bleeding.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the suggestive of Ménétrier's disease include hypoalbuminemia and hypochlorhydria resulting from protein-losing enteropathy and decreased acid secretion respectively.
There are no ECG findings associated with Ménétrier's disease.
A barium swallow be helpful in the diagnosis of Ménétrier's disease. Findings on an upper GI series suggestive of Ménétrier's disease include thickened and lobulated gastric folds located in gastric fundus and body.
Echocardiography or Ultrasound
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with Ménétrier's disease.
CT scan
Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Ménétrier's disease. Findings on CT scan suggestive of Ménétrier's disease include massive lobulated gastric folds. An important feature of Ménétrier's disease which differentiates it from gastric carcinoma includes the presence of pliable gastric folds as compared to rigid and aperistaltic gastric folds seen in carcinoma.
There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name].
[Location] MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name]. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
Other Imaging Findings
Endoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of Ménétrier's disease. Findings on an endoscopy suggestive of Ménétrier's disease include enlarged, nodular and coarse gastric folds.
Other Diagnostic Studies
There are no other diagnostic studies associated with [disease name].
[Diagnostic study] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other diagnostic studies for [disease name] include [diagnostic study 1], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3], and [diagnostic study 2], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Medical Therapy
Tthe mainstay of therapy for Ménétrier's disease is supportive care with intravenous albumin (if symptomatic) and parenteral nutritional supplementation. However, some benefit has also been observed with the use of anticholinergic drugs, acid suppression, octreotide and H. pylori eradication.
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with Ménétrier's disease. Surgery (subtotal/total gastrectomy) is usually reserved for patients with either massive protein loss unresponsive to medical therapy or with dysplasia or carcinoma.

The Effects Summary Tab
|Top Previous Next
The MIDI File Wizard's Effects Summary tab can be used to get an overall idea of a MIDI song. It displays, for example, which instrument is playing what note when, and the beat of the song. It can also mute instruments, so that you can listen more specifically to certain other instruments.
The Effects Summary tab cannot be used to insert timings or lighting effects into the sequence. To do that, use the other tabs of the MIDI File Wizard - the Various Effects tab and the Individual Notes tab.
To use the Effects Summary tab, simply hit "Play". The song will begin playing, and the controls on the tab will start lighting up to represent what's happening in the song. The boxes in the "Various Effects" section will light up to represent the beat of the song; the "General Instruments" section will show which instruments are playing which notes when; the "Percussion Instruments" section will show which percussion instruments are playing at what times.
You can choose to mute certain instruments, by selecting the "Mute" radio button next to each, so as to listen more closely to other instruments.
You can also superimpose clicking beat sounds over the song, to more clearly hear where the beat is falling, by checking the "Beat Sound" checkbox in the "Beat Adjuster" section.

Consumers looking to buy any of Amazon's Kindle products from Target in the coming weeks should look elsewhere: Starting later this month, Target will end sales of Amazon's e-readers and Android tablet.
Target says its decision to ditch the Kindle is a result of its desire to improve the customer experience, in a statement sent to The Verge this morning. A leaked memo from last night indicated that Target would replenish its stocks until May 13th. Online, the shifts seem to have taken effect immediately, with not a single Kindle appearing in a search on Target's website.
"Target continually evaluates its product assortment to deliver the best quality and prices for our guests," the statement reads.
There are a lot of interesting bits in the statement, but none so notable as the curiously explicit mentioning of Barnes & Noble's Nook towards its end. "We will continue to offer our guests a full assortment of eereaders and supporting accessories including the Nook," the statement says. (Target also sells Sony and Kobo's e-readers, but those barely count in the grand e-reader battle between Amazon and B&N.)
Which leads to a fairly obvious question: Is this whole thing the result of a particularly savvy deal by Barnes & Noble? It sure seems that way. Inking an exclusivity agreement with Target would be a smart effort at squeezing Amazon out of the physical retail space. With a fresh $300 million investment in its Nook subsidiary from Microsoft, B&N finally has the clout to pursue such arrangements.
And that's a big deal. One of the key reasons Amazon works with retailers like Target is it gives consumers the ability to use the Kindle in person before they buy it. Amazon, lacking physical stores, can't do this on its own — hence why partners like Target and Best Buy are so important.
If Barnes & Noble is actually behind Target's change of heart, the move could be the precursor to a major announcement for the two companies.
We've reached out to Amazon and will update when the company responds.

Finance Minister, Pranab Mukherjee has tabled the draft of Direct Tax Code on Monday, 30th August 2010 in Parliament.
Major highlights and changes to check in DTC are:
- Postponed DTC to be applicable from April 1, 2012
- Income Tax slabs has been changed and raised giving some relief to tax payers
- Exemption of Rs 100,000/- under 80C is limited to PF, Pension and Annuity Funds
- Additional deduction of Rs. 50,000/- provided
- No change in long term capital gain tax for listed securities and equity mutual funds
- Change in formula for short term capital gain tax
- STT to remain there
- Corporate Tax is maintained at 30%
- MAT is increased to 20%
- 5% Tax on Maturity of Mutual Funds and equity oriented Life Insurance
- 5% Tax on Dividend Distribution (DDT) for equity mutual funds
- Tax break for SEZs
The above mentioned updates for new tax code may differ in the final draft as it has now been postponed by one year. This is actually the third revised draft after being first proposed by the cabinet.
Revised Tax Slabs:
0 - 2 lacs : No Tax
2 - 5 lacs : 10%
5 - 10 lacs : 20%
Above 10 lacs : 30%
Additional 50,000/- is for health insurance, pure life insurance, education and any medi-claim type of policy.
If there will be some changes or modifications required in the above points, they will be updated. Still there are few points need some clarification. Nothing is clear about LTA whether it will become Taxable or remain Non-Taxable.
As an update, Finance Ministry has cleared that individuals will continue to enjoy the benefits of LTA as before. So, nothing much really changed for individual tax payers except the changes done for Sec 80C.
ELSS (Tax Saving Mutual Funds), ULIPs, Tax Saving FDs will not come under section 80C from April 2012.

Happy Tuesday!!!! I'm up over on the My Scraps & More blog today.
I am so in love with the latest Simple Stories So Rad boy collection. It's such a fun line and perfect for any age boy. Its got some cool fun colors and details in the papers too.
I scrapped this photo of my son after he finished his last day of baseball camp, which he loved every SINGLE second of.
I fussy cut a star from one of the papers, and then added a pop of twine underneath it. Then added some of the fun Oh What Fun puffy embellies from Evalicious. They are a perfect combo match with this Simple Stories collections.
I loved the super cool So Rad 2x2 paper and fussy cut out several of the squares and added them through out underneath papers:
I just have to say the colors in this line are sooo super fun and playful!! It makes the collection so easy to work with, so make sure to check it out.
Thanks sooo much for stopping by and have a great day!!!


text: Those colors are quite attractive and get your attention immediatly, thing is not everybody know how to appropriate these colors in their everday wear. Any kind of orangy, yelloish colors stands out more on tanned or even more dark skin colors. But it can also suit everybody else. You can combine them with the basics,meaning black, grey or white or the opposit by making a big contrast with fushia, green, blue, etc. All you have to do is learn how to play with these colors and create a fresh new look.

I want to start by saying that I have nothing against railroads or the expansion of railways. On the contrary, I think they should be expanded in order to reduce car and air traffic.
Having said this, I do not think you can sacrifice everything for this purpose, if the expansion instead destroys other natural or social values, one has to ask what is the most important. In this case, for me – it's easy!
At the moment Italy plans to expand a portion of it's railway network. In doing so they will destroy parts of a unique wine region. It is unique due to it's size and placement. That is, one can not replace the area by just…

Hi Julie!ReplyDelete
You were at the Prom and didn't drop in for a cuppa!! Hope you had a fabulous time there, even though it was "coolish"!!
Good luck with your new job as cooking teacher at the school. Our local school has the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Project, so once a week the kids have a cooking lesson, and once a week they have a garden class. It's fabulous.
Started "the" blanket today and I'm on the 3rd row : -) Read on someone else's blog that you are Scottish? Is that just a rumour going around ; -)
Cheers, Trudy
It certainly does look rather brisk Julie! Glad you had some nice 'time out' family time which is so important.ReplyDelete
Your lad does look very smart, and yes I do believe the afterparty is what they really look forward to lol. Our boy has his formal next month. Lots happening this time of year that's for sure.
cheers Wendy
oh wow - I have just been asked to look writing a submission for the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program at the school I used to work at (where my kids go) and I have just been looking at lots of websites about kitchen gardens. I'd love to see what you have at your school.ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to add your comment, I love to receive comments and read them all, even if I don't get around to responding to you, I am just not that organised!

Customer Service That Works!
I was reading this post, Akismet Gives Me A Lesson In Customer Service, at Blogs With Wings this morning and it made me smile. I, too, had a great experience with customer service yesterday and it was an excellent reminder of how important it is to respond quickly to the needs and wants of your customers, big and small.
I use a couple different hosting companies for the various websites I own, but my primary hosting provider and the one that this site is hosted on is Total Choice Hosting. I've been with this company since 2004 and will probably continue to stay with them for a long, long time. Why?
Well, for one, they provide good hosting services at reasonable prices and, two, they provide great customer service.
Are they perfect? No, not always. My experience with them yesterday proved that. Early in the day, their company dropped the ball. In a BIG way. I was experiencing some serious issues with connecting to their web server and uploading files, even being completely locked out of connecting at one point. I opened a support ticket to get the issue resolved and their low-level support techs basically responded with "There's nothing wrong on our end. It's your problem." and closed the ticket, issue unresolved.
I wasn't having the problem with any of my other hosts and extensive testing of everything on my end made it clear to me that the problem wasn't on my end, so I reopened the ticket, only to get the same response. Your problem, ticket closed, issue unresolved. I went back and forth with them on this several times, reopening the ticket only to have them close it again. Things came to an explosive point when yet another problem occurred.
I opened another ticket for the second problem only to get the same response as the first ticket. Problem on your end, ticket closed.
At that point, my redheaded, Irish temper took over and I exploded. I reopened both tickets, not to get resolution, but to rant at them for being completely unconcerned that I couldn't use their service anymore. If I can't connect to them, there's no point in keeping an account with them.
Within minutes, I received a response. Not from the tech department but from the President the company. He asked me to contact him directly through instant messenger so we could chat. I did and we spent the next 30 minutes working together to get all my problems solved. He fixed the problems occurring on their end AND he helped me find and fix a few things that were contributing to the problem on my end. By the end of our chat, my service was working perfectly and I was a HAPPY customer.
Then, to top off my great experience, he made sure I knew how important my business was to him and he gave me his personal cell phone number and told me if the problem happened again, I could contact him directly and bypass the ticket system. THAT is good customer service and when I think of that day, it's that experience I will remember. Not the frustration that led up to it.

DUBAI – The GMC Sierra full-size light-duty pickup ranked highest in its segments in the 2015 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study. The GMC brand gained six spots, moving up to No. 10 overall (in a tie).
The 2015 study tracks 2012 model year vehicles in the third year of ownership.Both the Sierra 1500, Yukon and Terrain also achieved the highest score in their segments in the 2014 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study.
The 2015 Sierra Light Duty body style range includes regular cab and two four-door cabs – the double cab and crew cab, all offered with 2WD & 4WD. Models and trim levels - the standard model, SLE, SLT and Denali (regular cab offered only in standard and SLE trims). The off-road-inspired All Terrain package is offered on double cab and crew cab models with SLE or SLT trim and includes the Z71 Off Road suspension.
Along with configurations to suit just about every need, Sierra's range of technologies is tailored to the way customers use their full-size pickups, providing the power, efficiency, refinement and dependability they expect. The Sierra Denali is the only full-size truck to offer magnetic ride control; and along with the available 6.2L V-8 and new eight-speed automatic transmission, solidifies its position as the most refined, technically advanced pickup on the market.
Built on the philosophy of 'Commands Respect', GMC has built pickups since 1902. With a rich heritage in the Middle East and an impressive 111 years of presence, innovation and engineering excellence is built into all GMC vehicles. The brand is evolving to offer more fuel-efficient pickups,crossovers and SUVs.
The GMC portfolio in the Middle East features Terrain small SUV and Acadia crossover. The Sierra half-ton pickup is the most powerful light duty pickup on the market, and the first full-size pickup to receive the highest possible five-star Overall Vehicle Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year. Every GMC model, including Yukon and Yukon XL full-size SUVs, is available in Denali luxury trim. GMC also offers customers a high-level aftersales service experience.

Weekly Weigh In.
According to the scale at my house I am 183.6, so down .8 for the week and 9.4 for the year.
According to the scale I weigh in at the gym I am up .8 for the week. Weird, last week, my scale at home and the gym were the same, but this week they're off, Whatever, LOL..I'm going with the scale at home, that's the one that I can stand naked on and it gives me a better weight, I like it better.
Brian's been out of town since Sunday and I'm finding it hard to follow a good eating routine while he's gone. I don't feel like cooking every night, so we've been having leftovers. However, I have been eating a lot of salads and fruit, with him gone, so I guess my diet has been okay. Sunday night I put the kids in bed and went to watch a chick flick movie. I wanted something to snack on, what I really wanted was a bowl of cereal, but we had no milk. So then I looked around and I saw cookies and ice cream, but I didn't really want those (weird!) so I ended up having a bananna with peanut butter. Have to say I'm proud of myself for not having cookies or ice cream or I'm proud of myself for not really even wanting those things. I guess my new habits that I've been trying to form are sticking!
That being said, our grocery store just put in an Ice Cream Counter, 16 different flavors of Blue Bunny Ice Cream, hand scooped. YUM! I told my kids that if they got their rooms clean yesterday I'd take them out for ice cream tonight after dinner. I will probably get a scoop. Usually if I'm gonna have something like that, I try to do it Wednesday, that way I have all week to work it off before my next weigh in.
Happy Leap Day to everyone. I guess my Leap Day celebration is to eat Ice Cream, are you doing anything fun today?

We listen to, believe in, and act on one lie after another–lies we tell ourselves about who think we should be. Be perfect. Be thin. Be everything to everyone. The pressures and expectations are often too much to handle. While today's culture portrays unrealistic ideals for both genders, women are often more affected because we're passionate pleasers and we desire to be the best–whatever the "the best" is. When we let these self-defeating "lies" sink into our consciousness, they can affect our attitude and our actions. It becomes much too easy to over-burden ourselves by attempting to live up to unrealistic standards. Below are seven common lies women believe and a more authentic truth with which we can replace them.
Lie: "I must be thin."
New Truth: "I will live a healthy life."
Weight does not equal worthiness, nor does it equal beauty or health. Imagine the freedom of being accepted just as you are, regardless of the size of your clothes or the width of your waist. If we give into the "being skinny is better than being rich" lie, we will forever be starving for an approval from others based solely upon our physical shape. Our bodies are supposed to change with age, with childbirth and for other normal reasons. Don't limit the victorious life you could be living. Make your new truth "I will live a healthy life." Begin by making choices that include the goodness of healthy foods, energy-producing activities and most importantly, an attitude of great self-worth. The weight of believing that being thin is everything is a burden greater than any bulge you'll ever carry.
Lie: "I must take care of everybody."
New Truth: "I will also care for myself."
Women are natural caretakers. We begin our days envisioning how we can meet the needs of those we love. Caring for and helping others bonds our relationships. It strengthens our connections to other –to family, to friends, to our community, church or social groups. If we notice someone's need or if we receive a request for a task, we mistakenly feel we would be rejecting him or her if we said, "No." It is important to spend quality time on you. You must recharge, renew and simply rest. In order to offer the best of yourself to others, you must first care wholly for yourself. Record your name on your daily to-do list!
Lie: "I must be perfect."
New Truth: "I will try my best and that is enough."
Perfectionism is a destructive path. It is a luring lie we tell ourselves in order to perform for the greatest approval of others. Reasonably you may want to do your best, but being able to emotionally and physically detach from the compulsion for perfection is essential to living well. Perfectionism is often linked to depression, eating disorders, stress and anxiety. Recognize your own perfectionist behaviors and thoughts and accept the truth that doing your best at anything is enough.
Lie: "I can do it all."
New Truth: "I will do what I can."
In close relation to the necessity to be perfect is the lie of believing you can do it all. Have you fooled yourself into believing that you can be the super-mom, the competent career contributor, the neighborhood watch woman, the caretaking daughter-in-law and the ever-attentive spouse, all rolled into one? Women play many roles today and with each come huge responsibilities. It is understandable to want to be fully involved in your commitments and relationships, but your time and energy are like balls to juggle. You may be able to handle a few at one time, but juggling a bucketful will ultimately result in a tumble to the floor. Reject the lie that invades your mind with pressures of being Superwoman. You cannot do it all, all the time. You are not supposed to. Accept your new truth that you will do what you can, and that's OK.
Lie: "I am my past."
New Truth: "I will live a new reality."
The path that brought you where you are today likely included a few holes, bumps and ditches in terms of family of origin issues or more recent adult endeavors. While disappointments or painful events may mark your past, they do not require you to be a victim in the present. Your past has indeed influenced who you are but you are not your past. If you believe the woman you are is only defined by what has happened to you, you enable yourself to become a victim (again). The truth is you are rich with fresh and new possibilities. You can live a new reality. Seek support or counseling if you feel stuck and you are waddling in the woes of your past.
Lie: "I have to have a man in my life."
New Truth: "I am a complete woman."
No man holds possession of your meaning. A woman does not have to be a part of a couple to make her whole and complete. She can be a woman with a life of her own, and that will enrich the life she has with anyone else–including a man or not. A loving partnership can offer many benefits for a woman who seeks that. But having a man in your life is not the missing link that connects you to meaning, to purpose or to love for that matter Find truth in your excellence as an individual. You are complete within yourself! Celebrate this truth and celebrate your divine worth.
Lie: "It is too late to pursue my goals and dreams."
New Truth: "I will begin living fully today."
Whether the rationale involves aging, regret, fear or frustration, many women cling to safe routines that don't allow for the risk of change and new beginnings. You can redefine or restart your goals at any time. You may even find yourself pursuing all-new avenues of accomplishment. Don't let the fear of a shrinking calendar diminish your dreams, halt your happiness or keep you prisoner in a passive life. It's time to realize the potential of your power as a woman and begin living fully today!

Standard chartered Complaints - Can't cancel Readycash account
Standard charteredView All Standard chartered Complaints 21 Mar, 2009 By Hassan
Can't cancel Readycash account
Oh well, I wanted to cancel my ReadyCash card and account. I had no dues pending since I hadn't used the account in many years. Standard chartered's telephone support told me to write an application and submit the cheque book to their customer care office at I.I. Chundrigar road. I did that but then they said they can't cancel it until some "residue" amount has been cleared!
That's funny because there shouldn't have been any residual amount since I hadn't used the account for so long. *And my last statement didn't show any amount* apart from the renewal fee for the next year in case I wanted to renew. More funny is the fact that the customer support person wasn't even able to confirm what the stupid residual amount actually was. In other words, there was no option for me to pay whatever that amount was and cancel the account on the spot! They asked me to WAIT for a phone call within 15 days from standard chartered and said that the final amount can only be told over that phone call. And only after I have been told that amount can I write a cheque and close my account.
So that's what I'm doing. WAITING! Repeated calls from me haven't achieve anything and its been more than a month!.
There also seems to be no coordination between their customer care office and billing department. The billing department is bent on billing me the renewal fee for next year because, they said: "You didn't cancel your account on time and we have to charge next year's fee by now!"
How pathetic is that?Read Comments Add Comment

So Cruel of them and just because they are not accountable to anyone.

Christmas Stockings. They're brilliant things because we were always allowed to open the gifts in our stockings before waking the parents up. After one year when my brother woke them up at 4am (and me at 3am....) they brought in their "Do NOT wake us up before 7am" rule, which was all right for them but I still got woken up by the brother whenever he wanted to wake me up.
My mum made our stockings, they are both made out of a fleecy material; Ian's is blue with a letter I stuck on and mine is pink with a C stuck on and a fairy too. And yes we do wear them before we put them out. We don't hang them on the fire-place, oh no sir-ee we used to put them at the end of the bed but now they go outside the bedroom door for "Santa" to fill when he gets back from the pub.
Normally now we're both a bit older (I'm 28 and my brother's 26) he tends to be hungover on Christmas morning so it's me waking him up via banging on the wall between our rooms. His head is in just the right place! Once I've woken him up we go back into my room with our stockings and sit on my bed whilst we tear through the wrapping on our stocking fillers. There is always, without fail a chocolate orange and a pair of headphones in our stockings. There is also a packet of chocolate coins, a jelly lolly, an apple and an orange. Ian and I swap the apple for an orange because I don't eat apples and Ian doesn't eat satsuma's (you think Santa would remember this!)
Then we wake the folks up, mum always has a shower as we bounce around the landing yelling for her to hurry up. When she finally gets out the shower we all go downstairs. We open the rest of our gifts, mum makes everyone bacon butties with a cup of tea and my dad takes photo's of us.
That is how it's been for the last 27 years, except this year I'm not going to be at home for Christmas so I'm not going to have a stocking. I'm spending this Christmas with my boyfriend and his family. I'm probably too old for it now anyway.

Total votes: 404
Which of the following innovations do you think 2008 will bring?Poll dates: December 30, 2007 - January 6, 2008
Total Votes: 404
Doctors, scientists, and engineers in academia, government, and industry are working hard to develop a cure for type 1 diabetes, to find ways to prevent it, and to develop better tools to improve treatment. Throughout the year, we report on the progress of this work through our weekly
What's Newemail newsletter. To close out 2007, we thought we'd ask our readers what they thought 2008 would bring.
Continuous glucose sensors became commercially available in 2006. Just under half of our readers -- 44% -- believe that these sensors will be in general use in 2008.
With preliminary studies showing that closed loop systems can work, a small number of our readers -- 9% -- think we'll see a closed loop system available.
On the biological side, 11% think that 2008 will lead to some advancement, either in islet cell transplantation, halting autoimmunity, or in finding the cause for type 1 diabetes, down from 16% in 2008.
Finally, almost one in three of you -- 31% -- think that nothing much will change in 2008.
We ran a similar poll in December 2006.
