After shooting for 6months and waiting another 3 for post production, Next TV's headliner ,"Next Heroes" is finally coming out. Here's a little taste of things to come...
This project is Directed by 羅永昌 王麗文. HK directors with Taiwanese actors. What a combination! I
Nope...not Ninja Turtles ....
Nope...not Police Academy...
It's Next Heroes!!! We worked our asses off for the past 5 months and it's finally coming together. STAY TUNED!!
Hey Hey! After months of looking for a new computer, I've finally settled on the I Mac. Now I can finally upload and blog without worrying about my computer shutting down. FYI, I was using the eenie weenie acer notebook that was making me blind !
Aside from that.... I've been trying to ....
walk in another person's shoes.....
kickin' it like Phil and Andy...sorry guys..I swear I can kick higher but the shoe was weighing me down!
get my hair did....
looking over plans to take over the world...
trying to look like Clark Kent...FAIL!
convince Lois that I'm not....Super..
workin' out my glutes...
taking over the world...so ...
So I can save it!
Until next time....
About fifteen years ago, I was approached by a certain music producer to become a so-called "Idol" in Taiwan. The idea of getting rich and famous when you were fifteen was out of this world. I couldn't wait to jump on the opportunity. At the time I was obsessed with BBD, Bobby Brown, the rest of the New Edition, and of course...The New Jack City soundtrack. So the thought of being a Taiwanese version of a R&B artist blew my mind away. But there was one hold back. I was terrified! I was scared cuz I knew I didn't have the training nor the passion for the industry. At least not yet. For crying out loud, I don't even have my driver's license. Nonetheless, I was ready for the opportunity.
If my memory serves me right, it was my mother who said ," You must finish your education in the US before doing anything you want to do." Being the good boy that I am, I agreed to her terms and turned down the opportunity to move to Taiwan. The opportunity was dismissed but the seed was already planted.
15 years later, I am back in Taiwan and about take another step towards becoming an artiste instead of just an actor. First of all, I'm not a trained musician and I can't sing like LeeHom. However, I believe I can carry a tune and do have a good ear for music. Tell you the truth, I love acting and I can do this for the rest of my life. Like the NBA players who have basketballs tattooed on their bodies to show their love for the game, I have Stella Adler's teachings tattooed in my heart. Just the other day, I heard somebody say," you don't choose your work but your work chooses you." At first I didn't know what that meant. I was always a true believer of being the master of your own universe and I still am. This is why I quit my job in advertising to pursue acting and why I moved from HK back to Taiwan. Why move out of HK to Taiwan? you might ask. The answer is simple.... opportunity. The opportunity to take on new acting challenges presented itself and I took it.
Exactly one year later, music came knockin' on my door again. Thanks to my friend Park, I am now part of a project that might change my perception of this industry. I've always thought that an actor should just be an actor and a singer should just be a singer. "Know your role," I would say to my friends. Being the Taurean that I am, I'm extremely stubborn when it comes to this principle. However, after listening to Park's music, I see flashes and images of how this project can evolve into something special. I might be skeptical at times but that's the actor in me trying to "cock block" the creative flow. I'm not being biased because he's my friend, but I really think PARK is talented.
Hi everyone, Definitely long time no blog. My apologies to Pat ...AGAIN! A lot has happened since I blogged in December...but I think that goes for everyone. It's been 4 months!!! Tell you the truth, I just don't know what to blog about after this long break from Alivenotdead. Then again, Alivenotdead is like family. You go away for awhile to do what you have to do but home is always where the heart is. I'm not trying to be cheezy but I personally feel like I've grown with this community since I got a call from Jason Tobin to join 1092 days ago. Wait....1092 days??!!! DAMN!!!! I think AnD should give out medals for members of this status ....heheh...jk guys...I'm am extremely honored to be a part of this great family. Speaking of family, a lot of my peeps in Hk ask me what I am up to in Taiwan. So let's get to the point and allow me to introduce you my peeps in ROC....Members of Creative Group Management.....We took this pic 6 in da morning...so that's why we all look a bit swollen.Yo Wei...the man who started all...Power Ranger #1-Black RangerMyself...umm...Grey Ranger?? naw....I want to be the Red Ranger.Mr. Charlie ...he can be the Grey Ranger. BTW...Super talented illustrator. I will show you why later.Badass Pink Ranger. J girl can SING!!!!!! You know..the ones that give you goosebumps.Our newest addtion...the Blue Ranger.....Miss Ros Pho 69Last but not least..the youngest Ranger...Tina...Pink Ranger Trainee.The reason why the Rangers united on this special day is because of this....Pray to our creator and be thankful for the eggs that we received.Before...During...oh...and our White Ranger is in the Background...our Jerry MaguireAfter.... Watch out peeps...the Rangers from CGM gonna save the world from horrible acting, singing, and ......DRAWINGS!!!Here's why Grey Ranger Charlie is so talented....Peace ~
Merry Christmas everyone! Have a safe and happy holiday! Let's all pig out so we can all look huggable by 2010.
I've always seen friends or friends of friends go to Thailand and do the infamous elephant ride. All I can say is I wouldn't do it again. It's much better to watch them from the ground...especially if you are afraid of heights!
I just realized that I was much happier before I got on.
Trying to climb the gentle giant....no one showed us how to do it ...the dude just pointed to the top and told me to climb. I've never felt so vulnerable as a human being. She was one powerful creature.
Here we go!
We had to act like we were having fun, but to tell you the truth....I was scuuuurrrrred.
After a humbling experience like that I had to get myself some....
and of course...
Meet my new friends...
Can u tell they had a blast with their new toy?
My first time in Singapore I had to put these on...
This was about 2 months ago...Sorry but not a big fan of lime green laces.
So check out the flick peeps! Watch how these idiot brothers try to get their hands on 5 MILLION DOLLARS!
Wow what a month! I was ready to fly home to LA for the holidays until I got a phone call from my Singaporean family telling me that they want me to do this movie called "The Will." I was like..hmmm....ok sure! Why not! What happens next is two weeks of hardcore film making "Amazing Race" style! Very tiring and challenging but I loved every single minute of it.
The movie also stars "Ah- Bu "AKA Brian Chou! I'm sure many of you recognize him from the TV show Adventure King. Can you tell we are related?
I don't think this place is accepting anymore admissions. Thank goodness.
The cast of "The Will." Yes...they even snuck in a press conference at the end of our shoot. Talk about wasting no time.
It was great working with Michelle Chong again! I had so much fun slapping her this time!
We even managed to travel to Phuket for a Street Fighter session.
I hate my job.
"Can I have some mo' sir?"
Peace at last....
Here's a sneak of Part 2....
Halloween is coming up and I'm sure everyone is trying to figure what to wear to scare the kids.I was never into scaring kids cuz I'm a kid myself and I don't like to be scared. Here's a tip :When in doubt...being a Super Hero is always a good choice.
Remember this?
That was soooo 2008!!
Here's 2009.
Meet the Super Sibs.
Can't wait till Halloween!! Have Fun and be safe peeps!
Here are a few Big Things you need to succeed!
Big book to develop Big Brain
Big Balls...or in this case, one is enough.
BIG GUNS!!...You definitely need one of these if you want to take over the world. ( can't wait to see this mutha up close)
Oh and of course.... Big Man...
GO SEED!! This has to be the biggest mango seed I've come across.
Sorry for the random thoughts. Today is definitely one of those "I feel weird" days.

Mancini's mistakes, cowardly Nasri, Cazorla's 'dive', terrific Torres and QPR's lack of leaders are all discussed on the new Football Podcast.
TEAMtalk.com Editor Simon Wilkes steps into the hosts' hot-seat and is joined by fellow journalists Jon Holmes and Tom McDermott, with the latter being a Manchester United fan basking in the glory of their thrilling derby victory.
The trio argue that Roberto Mancini got his selection wrong from the start in selecting maverick Mario Balotelli ahead of the talismanic Carlos Tevez - and feel the Italian could be heading for the Etihad exit door in January.
Holmes believe there is no need for panic in the champions' camp, though, as there is plenty of time in the season to bridge the six-point gap.
Everton's last-gasp win over Tottenham also comes under the microscope, with McDermott feeling sympathy for Andre Villas-Boas after he received flak from some Spurs fans for his second-half substitutions.
The trio then turn their attention to Liverpool's fine win at West Ham, where they left Upton Park with all three points despite playing without a recognised striker and having Jonjo Shelvey up front.
McDermott is not impressed with the current Reds line-up and asks what on earth has happened to Joe Allen's form - but Holmes and Wilkes defend Brendan Rodgers' Reds and feel a surge up the table could be on the cards.
Saturday's action is also debated, with Santi Cazorla's 'dive' at The Emirates getting Wilkes hot under the collar.
Fernando Torres' return to goal-scoring form is also analysed, with Holmes keeping a lid on things by saying it's still early days for the £50million Spain striker on his road to redemption.

DescriptionThe study of animal behavior is one of the most integrative endeavors in biologyit encompasses how the behavior is acquired, how it works, why it has come to work as it does, and how it influences the behaving animal and the animals around it. In Animal Behavior: An Integrative Approach, Michael J. Ryan and Walter Wilczynski address the interrelationship of these aspects of animal behavior, which Nikolaas Tinbergen codified in his four questions as causation, ontogeny, survival value, and evolution. In light of these questions, the authors first review some of the basic concepts of ultimate and proximate aspects of behavior. They make the argument that integrating different levels of analysis is critical for deriving a correct interpretation of behavior. In subsequent chapters, they review topics such as foraging, orientation and migration, sex differences, mate choice, social bonding, cooperation, conflict, and aggression. The authors integrate information from molecular genomics through neuroscience, endocrinology, development, and learning to evolutionary genetics, selection, constraints, and phylogenetics to provide a concise but comprehensive look at current topics in animal behavior. This book provides a well-thought-out and integrated introduction to the complexity of animal behavior that should appeal to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional scientists in other fields in need of a succinct review of the field.
In this concise volume, Ryan... and Wilczynski... provide a fascinating, well-written introduction to the field of animal behavior.... Nine compact, well-crafted chapters cover basic topic areas in the field and admirably carry this approach throughout the book.... One striking feature of the book is the large number of useful figures throughout the text, many in color. A valuable resource for advanced students as well as biologists and psychologists desiring an introduction to animal behavior.
...the book is written in a very accessible style and is very nicely illustrated.

Kosher Appetizers
|Crispy Artichoke Hearts
Adapted from Kosher.com blog by Jamie Geller
Handle artichokes very delicately to ensure that the bread crumbs dont fall off.
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Place bread crumbs in a small bowl.
Drain artichokes and toss in bread crumbs to cover. Set aside.
Heat olive and vegetable oils in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Temperature should reach 350 degrees to 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer, so a breaded cube tossed in should brown in 60 seconds.
Add artichokes carefully. Fry 1 to 2 minutes until crisp.
With a slotted spoon, remove artichokes from hot oil. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. Place a decorative toothpick in each piece, if desired.
Yield: 3 - 4 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes / Total time: 6 - 7 minutes
Recipes: Appetizer, Kosher, Parve

I think you know how some of the netizens in my country are like, so... yeah. Hoho.ReplyDelete
Yep, I've seen lots of similarities between our countries, only good thing here is, that we don't have celeb bloggers bashing each other.
That's crude man. For singapore netizens they bash one another for no reason, they will not praise but dig and pull each other down. As there will not be a verified or real identity who is doing all the bashings on net, they feel thrilled and addicted to it.ReplyDelete
Oh, yea, I noticed what you say... It's quite common there. Ours is of different kind, though, yet still can be annoying -_-
Yes,some people will abuse when they have no self control. Good moral determines someone to be respectable anywhere even behind the computer. SmilesReplyDelete
I agree. And same goes for shamelessly stealing your content and baby photos. They wouldn't do that in real, right? So why they do it online? Maybe they feel safer :)
True! What's weird about SG compared to other countries are that they will tag/comment on yr blog without real names or real identity.ReplyDelete
It's always nick name or mostly anonymous. I do not know why the secrecy if you are not up for anything bad.
Most of the tym I am replying to strangers and more strangers who know me but I do not know them.
wow!! That "apology" does come of a bit sarcastic.. I would be a bit offended if I was Slovanian. I didn't read the original piece, and if this writer really was putting the country down that is horrible. After all, I suspect most American's couldn't place Slovenia on a map or identify it as a country and then this is the little info they do get??ReplyDelete
Oh yea. You're very open as a blogger, post a lot of private pics compared to others. I commend you for that :) If so many times people bash each other, I guess it forces most of people to remain anonymous. They're afraid maybe.
Well, I read the article and I wasn't under the impression that he tried to offend our country, he wrote it fair and balance. I guess he didn't expect our netizens to complain so much. So I'm not sure, if he really felt apologetic. In the end, it doesn't matter to me :) I think people are overreacting and maybe misunderstood his good intentions :) That's my guess.
Yea true. I agree.SmilesReplyDelete
Honestly, when it comes to public apologies, I have my doubts. The guy may not necessarily be sarcastic, but usually when people apologize publicly to a large audience, it's usually not sincere, rather, they simply want the crowd to get off their back. I said USUALLY because I would try to give him the benefit of doubt that maybe he is sincere. But who knows, maybe I'm a little biased, but after seeing the hundreds of times celebrities and politicians apologize publicly, they usually never mean it.ReplyDelete
As for the netizens of my country, in fact, yes, I am embarrassed by some of them, for different reasons then you but still embarrassed nonetheless.
My embarrassment definitely had climaxed during the time the Iraqi war was going on. On forums and blogs, Europeans, Australians, and Canadians had criticized American involvement in it. To my horror, SO MANY Americans defended the war (and Bush) saying it was a radical thing to do. Now, to the British, we've always been "big, fat idiots" but after when so many Americans posted on the web in defense of the war, I felt like those posters did nothing to help our image but rather, confirmed what the British had always thought of us; as idiots.
On another occasion (this one less political), I had a Canadian friend whom I've met over blogging. She's a really sweet girl so it's rare to see her ever get angry. But one time, she started cussing out the U.S. on her blog like I've never seen before. When I asked her what happened, she told me that after she told some American guy she met in a chatroom that she was from Canada, he responded, "So do you live in an igloo?" WTF??? Even though I'm not from Canada, I can see why she's so pissed. I would be too. The idiot associated Canadians with Eskimos and assumed they were the same, in spite of Canada being one of the most advanced countries. How can I not be embarrassed by what some dumbest Americans say online?
Wow, thank you very much for your long and excellent comment.
I agree with you on public apologies.
Well, for me it was shameful how American mainstream media didn't press Bush harder. Come on, it's war. And it started based on lies. Well, it was 1 year after 911, the right wing was strong, the left was quiet.. must be quite scary, I guess. So I do understand, why that was, but it's still shameful, if you call yourself the best country on earth :)
As for your Canadian friend, it's totally understandable, that she vented. It's worse with my country, which is really tiny and unknown.
I think there's 2 types of US netizens: Total idiots and totally awsome people, while those in between are in small numbers.. If you ask me, all together American netizens are ok, I have a lot of traffic on my blog from USA and apart from few birthers, I didn't have any negative feedback :)
Lol, I have to disagree with the U.S. being the best country. It's not the worst but definitely not the best either. We have a pretty low standard of living compared with most Western countries. We have one of the highest rate of crimes, if not the highest, compared with other Western countries. Our government seems to care less about us then do other Western countries care about their citizens. We seem to worship shallow Hollywood celebrities over people who really do matter (doctors who volunteer to save lives for free, fire fighters, or humanitarians). The list goes on and on but I don't want to bore you, lol. The point is, we have waaaay too many flaws to be considered the best country. I think Norway or Canada is the best, but certainly not us, lol.ReplyDelete
Well, even though Slovenia's a small country, if you look at your fellow citizens a different way, it just means they're proud. And pride in one's nation isn't always such a bad thing--unless it's taken to an extreme degree of nationalism, like China. Otherwise, it's not so bad.
As for the American media to pressing Bush harder, well, sometimes the government does control the media indirectly. The U.S. gov had been known to do that before.
Haha, I hope I fall into the category of the totally awesome U.S. netizens then. The really bad netizens aren't normally see on blogs though. They're more often seen on forums if you visit those.
Ok, I should say that 'your politicians, especially conservatives, keep saying USA is the best country in the world' or stuff like 'they hate us, they want our freedoms', haha.. Always fun to follow campaigns in your country.ReplyDelete
Basically you can't say which country is the best, depends on your personal criteria, I guess. GDP and all the other statistic doesn't tell everything.
Well, too much pride is shallow for me, so I felt some of those here are clearly over reacting. Sometimes you need to chill and smile :) I know Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert made jokes about Slovenia and while I felt flattered, some people already wrote on blogs and complained O_o
Oh, yeah.. You're one of the awsome peeps, hehe. Really appreciate your comments, they're deep and make me think well how to respond :)
Yep, the American conservatives are definitely nationalists. Like I said, some patriotism is good but nationalism is pretty bad.ReplyDelete
And speaking of which, true that too much pride is shallow. But none at all isn't so good either. I read on the news a few months ago that one of the Southeast Asian countries whose borders keep getting diminished each day by its neighbor had a government that lacked any sense of pride. I forgot who, but I think it's Vietnam. Anyhow, I remember that one of the countries in the SE region is loosing its borders to China. Every time one of their citizens would protest about it, Vietnam's government would throw them into jail. Being patriotic is somehow illegal there. Yet, when the Chinese laborers or expats physically beat up the locals, the police there would look the other way. So yeah, that's one country that really has lack of pride issues (I'm guessing that since they're both Communists, Vietnam may be kissing up to China but seriously, no other commie country kisses up to China so much).
Maybe the Slovenians did overreact a little, but I'm sure that if Italy or Austria tried to take it over, the people and gov would unite to do something about it, lol.
Thanks :) I just enjoy deep conversations :)
I get what you mean, yeah. Well, growing up in a communist country myself, I think the nationalism was a big problem, because it's underlying and when it bursts out, riots and wars start, so it happened later in the Balkans in the 1990s. And the rise in Chinese nationalism scares me as well. I agree, best is to be in the middle, you need to feel comfortable with where you grew up and be happy about the great things significant for your culture. I love my country, but I've been around. Many people here (as well as in USA) lack the view from the outside. Then you learn to respect other cultures, who may be different, but at least you understand them better.
Oh, don't worry, people would fight fiercly for our land, haha. We're suspicious of all our neighbors, because in the past all of them took a piece of our land and now we're so small like a dwarf screaming for acknowledgement :P
Singaporean netizens love to write and make fun of our government policies and social issues.ReplyDelete
It's not Singapore isn't good, it's just that no matter how good it is, Singaporeans MUST find something to complain about. ^_^
That writer is so rude, and he doesn't really seem sincere with his apology. Just coz you're from new york, that doesn't make you better than the rest of the world, loser!ReplyDelete
Anyway netizens over here are far more into politics than celebs. i guess that's a good thing, but it gets a bit boring haha
Shingo TReplyDelete
I see. Thanks for your opinion.
Well, at least you have a good reputation there in Mauritius, even though it's boring :)
It seems we also have powerful netizens, hehe. In my memories, when the issues become international, our netizens will fight for it, whether at online discussions, blogs or forwarding e-mails. But, the power always be used at voting and finding, seldom be used at making the issuer to change his mind. I guess that because the big continent beside us always gives pressure to other countries, so our voices are always been ignored, I do feel angry about this. And even their hackers will attack our netizens or the website which discuss and defend our rights.ReplyDelete
I think your netizens has done a good job, although the NY Times reporter's apology seems not so sincere. But as the behavior to "dig and pull each other down" (from Vampie), I'd rather fight for our rights or impolite rhetoric to our country. :-D
Well, your country Taiwan has a very unique situation, so I totally understand your netizens :) Thanks for sharing :)
A lot of people don't even know about Mauritius. So now to write something about the country... *ahem*ReplyDelete
Hahaha that was a mean thing to say, right? :P
Haha, no.. it sounded rather cute :P
The netizens I am aware of (there are far too many for me to be highly knowledgeable) I am not ashamed of. Perhaps I might be ashamed of some, if I had a greater scope of awareness of what people do in their many fora.ReplyDelete
It seems that Slovenians have a pride in matters Slovenian. It can be a force for good. Why should anyone have their social and support services compared with those in America? The Americans really have no basic standards for over 5 million of their people, and the numbers are growing. If you can't afford health insurance you would be lucky to get an Aspirin. As it is, many sick people who visit an emergency room for a quick patch up, (if they're lucky) leave with prescriptions they cannot afford to pay to dispense.
I too have been offended at American comparisons with, and in some cases, downright lies about our health care. At least we have it, even if it has its imperfections..
Yeah, you're right. But then again, the British netizens are not really famous for causing some uproar in the online community, which is great.
As for US healthcare, you put it right. I remember when Republicans bashed your system, that's far better than theirs. They should just see how many people are denied healthcare there, they don't need to compare with others :)
urm... most of the netizens that i know are not from my own country, so i dont know really....ReplyDelete
I agree...the bugger sounded a bit too sarcastic! Like what's the point of apologizing if you're not gonna be sincere about it. He just sounds bitter! Must be PMS-ingReplyDelete
girl in stilettoReplyDelete
No problem :)
Haha, thanks for your frank assessment :)
Well, the netizens (also the citizens offline) of my country usually have different opinions on issues, many will agree with the criticism of the country, some will defend, but the main consensus here is that western media (CNN in particular) gives a skewed version of international events.ReplyDelete
I agree with the girl in stiletto. I have no clue what's going on in the internet world of my homecountry. I don't feel like a German really. I feel like an international person.ReplyDelete
How about you Nino? You travel a lot. Do you still feel like 100% Slovenian?
The EnvoyReplyDelete
Well, you need to filter every media. Malaysian media is also not very good, if I may add. Same goes for my country or USA. Because to events, there's always different sides and interpretations. That's the human weakness. So don't worry, we don't buy into everything CNN says here :)
I feel 100% Slovenian, yea. We're a small country and if you're part of such a small culture and language, you are marked for life. I do feel international, I love being in Asia, but I will always be a white guy, who needs to explain to people where I come from.. And I must say I enjoy being Slovenian in Asia, I have a unique perspective on things. But I do feel a bit different than those who never really went out of Slovenia, I do feel like an international person, yes. But still I am and always will be Slovenian :)

Professor Taylor is Professor of Religion and Islamic Studies at Drew University in Madison, N.J. He is also the Director of the Drew University Center on Religion, Culture & Conflict.

Thread: Wath kind of helmet ?
auto darkners are good
I have both a miller elite auto darkner and a passiveg lens mp 10. Both miller. I use a glass gold lens for the mp 10 and it is so lite weight and i never get flashed because you dont have to wait for a response time. With the elite i use it to mig so i dont lose postion and weld on sum wall that doesnt need weld. But after a while i ended up using nothing but the passive lens. Miller mp10 cost me 35 dollars at air gas and the lens at TSC cost 7 dollars. The lens is a shade 10 and gold filter and is made by hobart. This is my second lens. My buddy begged me for the first one. And you get good bang for your buck. Instead of the 300. They have low grades of miller helemts.
miller fixed that
The 2012gare better. And all of the gear goes from the inside. Instead of the flip apart front. Which it looked boss but no reasoning behind the shelf for the over head working force. The mp10s are nice and lite thats whats so awesome about them.

I had a cheapo Northern Tool $50 autodark hood and then got a Miller Digital Elite, but neither of them lets me see as well as with a plain old non-autodark gold #11 shade in a Jackson hood.
I like the Jackson hood because the headgear is replaceable and reasonably priced.

Wath kind of helmet ?
How do you like the classic miller? Is it the one with variable shade? I'm looking into getting one. I'm stuck on either the classic or the hobart VS discovery camo. I think the miller will hold up better and seems to be a better helmet. They're about the same price but if they're the same quality I would rather have the camo hobart

You can also look on Craigslist and, occasionally, you'll
find some great deals. Last week I picked up a Miller Digital Elite (only 2 months old) for $150.

I use an HTP striker for $99 with free shipping and grinding mode
It works just as good as my miller except a few things I like better. It's lighter and I can just hit a button for grind mode. The miller I have to take off my gloves and turn the dial all the way down. Oh and the miller was 2x the price.Hobart Handler 140 Mig

Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs enter the bloodstream by mouth or by IV to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may also be delivered directly into the brain tumor cavity or into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). When chemotherapy is given directly into the CSF it is called intrathecal chemotherapy. The side effects from the chemotherapy occur because normal cells are also destroyed in the process.
Chemotherapy may be given alone or with radiation therapy .
Your doctor will discuss your chemotherapy plan with you, including the number of cycles which plan to be given.
The side effects and amount of time required in the doctor's office depend on the type of chemotherapy you receive, as well as how many cycles you receive and how often. Your doctor will discuss the common side effects with you before starting chemotherapy.

A Great Mills woman was killed Sunday night, police report, when she walked across Route 235 south of Lexington Park into the path of a van traveling on the highway.
Shirley Jordan, 63, died at MedStar St. Mary's Hospital after the 9 p.m. accident that occurred near the highway's intersection with Mattapany Road, according to St. Mary's sheriff's deputies. No injuries to the van's driver, 43-year-old Cong Nguyen of Virginia, were reported from the collision.
"There was some kind of an event, a party going on at somebody's house," a senior sheriff''s deputy said this week, adding that Jordan "was crossing the street to get to her car."
Neither alcohol nor the van's speed appear to be contributing factors in the accident, the sheriff's office reported from the preliminary investigation. The sheriff's office has requested that anyone with information about the accident call deputy Christopher Beyer at 301-475-4040.

We did it! Today the North Carolina State Senate adjourned for the year without passing S.B. 648, an "ag-gag" bill that sought to keep the public in the dark about animal abuse and food-safety problems on factory farms. We are thrilled to announce that this means all 11 state-level whistleblower suppression bills proposed this year were defeated!
This huge victory is thanks to the hard work of a large coalition of interest groups and the actions of concerned citizens, like the dedicated members of the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, who told their legislators that they want transparency and accountability when it comes to how farm animals are treated. With the defeats of these bills, we have shown the agriculture industry that suppressing investigations—and the hard truths they often uncover—is not an acceptable response to the real problem of abuse on factory farms.
Learn why ag-gag laws endanger both animal and human health.

Amsterdam is so much more than tulips, bicycles and the Red Light District, though it does have those things in abundance. This city built on canals has diverse neighbourhoods, sated in culture and history.
Whether you're in search of the bohemian, free-thinking Amsterdam or a perfect destination for book-lovers, you'll find a district here to suit you. The compact centre is easy to navigate, whether by bike, on foot or on the water – and each area has a good range of budget accommodation to choose from.
The main tourist destination, the central area of Amsterdam attracts tourists to its main squares – Dam and Nieuwmarkt. Dam has the best of the historic buildings, whilst Nieuwmarkt offers Holland's take on Chinatown. The Old Centre is also where the Red Light District can be found, but the bars, cafes and restaurants of the area nowadays attract a wider range of visitors than the traditional stag party gangs. The so-called 'New Side' of Amsterdam's centre is relative to the ancient history of this place – it is still full of buildings dating back to the medieval times. However, it provides a quieter and more intellectual pace of life compared to the Old Side and is a book-lover's paradise. It's home to the Amsterdam Museum and Spui Square, which boasts three large bookstores. Plenty of budget accommodation can be found here.
Once a traditional, working-class neighbourhood, Jordaan has been completely regenerated and is now a very popular district with young, trendy things. It still retains a bohemian spirit, attracting artists of all types and keeping up a long tradition of folk music. It is the perfect place to explore art galleries, boutique restaurants and quirky markets - and it is just a five-minute walk to the main sights of the Old Centre. Hostel and budget accommodation can be found here, as well as mid-range hotels.
This upmarket area surrounding the Old Centre boasts some impressive architecture and is also home to the Anne Frank Museum, so it's the perfect neighbourhood for those seeking to soak up the history of Amsterdam. The Negen Straatjes – nine streets sandwiched between two canals – provide an alternative shopping destination with plenty of independent fashion boutiques to choose from. By night, this is a main clubbing area, and with plenty of well-priced hotels, you won't have far to stumble back to in the wee hours of the morning.
Why not make the most of Amsterdam's canals and choose a houseboat stay? Providing easy access to just about any district you choose, houseboats offer competitive prices compared with mid-range and budget hotels – as well as a unique experience. Some houseboats are on a B&B basis, suitable for solo travellers or couples, whilst others are available as self-catering 'apartment' boats, good for larger groups.
x The average starting price for a place to stay in Amsterdam is 333 TOP per night.

mandyrut Best place to stay in Amsterdam...The owners are amazing and they will do anything to help. The room is so clean. Breakfast is provided daily and is more then you can eat. Plus they stock the fridge with more food and drink then you need. I told all my friends it was like staying with family that mind there own business. I will be back as it was the best hotel I have stayed in while visiting Europe.
roisindoherty We have just returned home after a great stay in your beautiful city. TThe Studio was perfect for our stay in every way. When we return to Amsterdam we would definitely stay in this studio again. Thank you.
brian-milg The noise from the street may annoy someone who stays here but everything else is just right. The stairs are steep as well but that is an Amsterdam thing. I have stayed in many Amsterdam hotels and this was my best experience. I travel on business and often go to Amsterdam and I certainly will try here first when I go to Amsterdam again.
s.pye499 We stayed for 4 nights in this Inn,10 mins walk to the tourist centre,but far enough out to be quiet.clean,simple straight forward,a two bedroom facility,believe could sleep up to 6,both rooms double,but make sure you specify you want a double or two singles.Met at beginning of stay,and seen at end,no receptionist.The guy who meets and greets is friendly and helpful,gives you his number if any probs.Sorted us out bike hire,the only way to get around Amsterdam if your adventurous. Met the owner by chance,real nice guy,just likes the idea of letting his house out to holiday makers.No kitchen,loads of eating places in town and locally.Perfect for family,or group of friends wanting very reasonably priced nice place to stay.In residential area with residential neighbours above and below and either side,so if your'e in to late night partying would cause issues and possibly ruin a good little place to stay.Steve and Gemma.
Tim.Moran This is dead set the best hostel i have ever stayed in. I have been traveling for the past two years and this hostel is my favorite. The staff are FANTASTIC and hospitable with great knowledge of the area. Beds are extremely comfortable and rooms are warm as :) would recommend anyone to stay here 10/10 place :) thanks cocomama for the wonderful experience
nidvia Our stay at The Crooked House was ideal. It's near public transport and downtown. It's comfortable and clean. We recommended. Martin made us feel like at home.
riana.dekl The apartment is situated in the heart of Amsterdam, but just outside the hussle and bussle of the main tourist spots (and red light district). It is also close to Centraal Station, so walking to the apartment with your baggage in not an issue. We were greated by Angela, a very friendly lady. The kitchen is stocked, with a few things, including hams, cheese, bacon, juice and milk for breakfast...we thought that was great. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to everyone. If climbing stairs is an issue, I would not recommend this apartment...it has three sets of stairs that can be rather daunting at first. Rent a Vespa(scooter) when in Amsterdam. It beats walking and riding a bicycle and it will make it possible to see the "real" amsterdam further away from the city centre. Overall we had a great stay at Jacob's home!
plt1963 Great location and fantastic value for money. Staff extremely accommodating. Breakfast was exceptional (not cooked). Facilities basic and rooms tiny. If over 6ft tall it would be problematical but in truth it is a ship so hardly surprising. All in all it couldn't be better for the money.
matthew_do I booked the Hotelboot Angeline for a group on a long weekend, looking for a good central location, at a good price with flexibility on access. The hotel certainly exceeded expectations, moored next to the Nemo centre, location is perfect a short ten minute walk to the Central Station and the night time 'attractions'. The hotel itself given its a boat is pretty comfortable, very clean with a friendly atmosphere. Breakfast in the morning is adequate with planty of choice of cereal, cold meets and cheeses and freshly brewed coffee. I would thoroughly recommend the Hotelboot Angeline for those of you looking for a short visit or a group weekend away with a central location. Thanks!
Peter52p this hostel is about 15 km from centre of Amsterdam but this was not a problem as they have an hourly shuttle which takes you to local station and then it is about 15 min on metro to central station and about 30 min to airport. staff are very friendly and have good knowledge of many languages and on how to find a large number of interesting places to visit, site and facilities are very clean and well laid out and very good value for the money, they have on-site computers and wire less connection if you have your own laptop. also they have a very well equipped kitchen with free coffee and tea if you wish overall I would strongly recommend and would use again. so enjoy with regards Peter Hallett
stephanie- The cabins were a little bit hot during night time given the hot weather...but otherwise it was nice, clean and had a very friendly staff with a great breakfast buffet...I would go back again...

Green America, the national group that advocates for a green economy, has been working for years to move Hershey away from cocoa produced with child slave labor. Last year after hearing from more than 100,000 consumers, including hundreds from Claremont, Hershey promised to convert to Fair Trade by 2020. That date seemed so far away for children and families caught in the web of coercive and unsafe labor on cocoa plantations. In March, Green America attended a conference with Hershey and other chocolate producers hosted by the Department of Labor in Washington,DC and convinced Hershey to announce this significant milestone for 2013.

The isolationists were carrying the day in America for the first two years of World War II. But when the Japanese launched an unprovoked sneak attack on the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the USA could stay neutral no more. As the USS West Virginia burned, President Roosevelt and Congress acted: America declared war, and the dual evils of Japanese Imperialism and German Fascism were on their way to extinction, thanks to the heroes of our Greatest Generation. This spectacular poster assures you will "never forget", with its dual impact of historical photography and legendary quotation. Perfect for home, office, or history classroom!

Fairfax County police are investigating three sexual assaults that took place over two days in both the northern and southern parts of the county.
On Tuesday in Reston, a 31-year-old woman reported to police that she was attacked while walking along the Washington & Old Dominion trail around 7 p.m.
The woman was on the trail near the overpass for Herndon Parkway, near the Town of Herndon Police department, when she noticed a man following her, police said. She continued walking to Sunset Hills Road, where the woman said she was then dragged off the path into a wooded area by the man.
She struggled with her attacker and he eventually fled north onto a gravel horse trail, police said. The woman did not require medical attention, police said.
Police describe him as heavyset, about 25 years old, clean shaven and with short, black hair. They said the woman was unsure of his height and ethnicity but that he was wearing glasses, a dark jacket and dark jeans.
County police are also investigating two assaults that took place within 25 minutes of each other the following day in Springfield. They said those two incidents occurred at 3:10 and 3:35 p.m.
While it is unknown whether the Springfield cases are linked to each other, detectives are looking at the possibility that they could be the sixteenth and seventeenth assaults in a series of similar incidents that have occurred in that area over the last several months, police said. In those cases, police have been on the lookout for a 'serial groper' that has been described by several victims as a hispanic man, 5 feet 6 inches tall, often wearing a red baseball cap. "Besides the red baseball cap, there are other similarities,including the fact that many of the incidents took place during daylight hours," said police spokesperson Lucy Caldwell.
In the first Springfield incident on Wednesday, police said a 30-year-old woman was walking south on Dinwiddie Street near Dana Avenue. She reported that someone approached from behind her, grabbed and groped her, then fled.
The man was described as Hispanic, around 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a neatly trimmed beard. He wore a sweatshirt.
The second incident took place a few blocks away, on Backlick Road near the intersection of Cabin John Road. In that incident, police said a 25-year-old woman was walking south on Backlick Road, underneath the I-495 underpass, when she felt someone groping her. She yelled and the man fled. The man on that case was also described as Hispanic, around 5 feet 6 inches tall with a black jacket and blue jeans.
Police said they do not think the Springfield assaults are related to the Reston assault.
"The Reston suspect was described as much heavier set," said police spokesman Don Gotthardt.
Police are urging anyone planning to walk along secluded trails to consider walking with a friend, not to wear earbuds or earphones, be aware of their surroundings and to always tell someone where they will be before leaving.

A Goodbye to Blogging, and Many Thank-Yous
Sunday, September 9th, 2012
Dear internet,
Well… it's about that time.
I've been blogging for over four years, and for over a year here for Parents. It's been an interesting and, at times, a pretty amazing ride. I've written about anything and everything, been on some awesome trips, received my share of hate mail, been published on and linked to from places like Yahoo!, Shine, and Time.com, and corresponded and shared my life with some pretty incredible people.
I have honestly enjoyed sharing my life with all of you. Opening up about all of my experiences– the good, like giving birth to Caroline, graduating dental school, and finding a job… and the bad, like Caroline's hospitalization, my postpartum depression, and my divorce– has been exciting, cathartic, therapeutic. But with my new start here in a new state with a new job and a new home, the time has come for me to move on.
I'll admit that part of it is that I'm simply burned out on the criticism and hateful email that I seem to get no matter what I write. It is not easy to share as openly and publicly as I do, and I might just not have the backbone for some of the responses that I get anymore. Having a job as a "real" dentist also means that I need to be a little more careful and professional about what I put out there on the internet, know what I mean? I've always written whatever I feel about whatever's on my mind, and if I have to constantly censor myself or worry about what I'm writing, then I'd rather just not write at all… or at least not write so publicly. I also feel like I don't have as much to say as I used to, and I really only enjoy blogging when I have something interesting to say.
I guess what it ultimately comes down to is, I just need my life to be a little more private right now.
I appreciate, from the bottom of my heart, all of you who have read and loved my blog, whether you're a new or longtime reader; whether you've read occasionally or never missed a post. Your kind words and support got me through some tough times, your advice helped me make some tough decisions, and what some of you have shared with me, in return for all I've shared, has touched my life as I hope I've managed to touch some of yours. My favorite part has been the emails and comments I get from other single parents who have been inspired by what I've written to make changes in their lives, to go back to school, to move on, to find happiness again. I've appreciated every word from you, more than you know.
Thanks for laughing and crying with me, everyone. You might see me again on the internet someday, in a more anonymous or private space…you just might not know it's me.
With love,
Julia…and CarolineAdd a Comment

We've all had this conversation. A friend wants to bring home a new pet, and despite your best efforts, she's set on buying from a pet store. How can you convince to her adopt, not shop? Here are four things we hear a lot, and how you can respond.
If I don't buy that puppy in the pet store, who will?
Pet stores usually sell their puppies quickly, and the store will slash the price on slow sellers until they're bought. If people stop giving their business to pet stores that sell puppies by not purchasing puppies or anything else from them, ultimately, the puppy mills that they support will shut down from lack of demand. Hurray!
I want a purebred/a puppy, and they don't end up in shelters.
Some people want a Golden Retriever no matter what. Tell your pal that a one-of-a-kind mutt from a shelter is just as healthy and lovable, but that 25% of animals who enter shelters are purebreds, and that most breeds have a breed rescue—a group that re-homes dogs of a specific breed. Oh, and show them some videos of ASPCA puppies.
Shelter pets aren't likely to be healthy.
Explain to your pal the many physical and mental ailments puppy mill dogs—most of those in pet stores—can develop. Remind your pal that any animal can become sick or injured, regardless of where he came from, but that at a shelter you know up front if your new pet has any chronic health issues. Let your friend know that pet store dogs are actually somewhat more likely than shelter dogs to need vet care for an illness.
My friend has a shelter dog, and he's hyper/destructive/scared/shy.
Here's where those of you with shelter pets can point to them and say, "Uh, what about Mr. Fluffy here? He's a model dog and he came from a shelter." Then point out that just like dogs from anywhere else, some shelter dogs have behavior issues to work on. Adopting from a shelter allows you to know exactly what you're getting and whether you're prepared to handle any issues that may arise.
Good luck! If you have other suggestions, share 'em with us. And if you've persuaded someone to adopt, not shop, tell us about it.

Interpretive Handbook
8838 :
Thyroxine-Binding Protein Electrophoresis, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Normally, almost all (99.5%) thyroxine is bound to thyroxine-binding globulin, prealbumin, and albumin. Deficiencies and aberrant forms of these binding proteins can occur, causing difficulties interpreting thyroid function test results. Such abnormalities may be identified by thyroxine-binding protein electrophoresis.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Explaining unusual thyroxine (T4), free T4, and thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) test results that do not correlate with the clinical condition of a patient
Detecting the presence of aberrant thyroxine-binding proteins such as abnormal forms of albumin and prealbumin
Detecting selective deficiency of one of the thyroxine-binding proteins
Detecting antibodies to T4
As an adjunct to the diagnosis of patients with high T4 concentration due to peripheral hormone resistance by ruling out thyroxine-binding abnormalities
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Rare protein-binding abnormalities may be suspected in euthyroid patients having an elevated total thyroxine (T4) but normal thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG).
The following example is from a healthy 40-year-old male with familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia, a benign familial condition that can be confused with hyperthyroidism:
-Increased T4 of 14.4 mcg/dL (normal=5.0-12.5 mcg/dL)
-Normal TBG of 20.1 mcg/dL (normal=12-26 mcg/mL)
The thyroxine-binding protein electrophoresis assay identified that of the saturating dose of (125)I-T4:
-52% was bound to albumin (normal 12%-34%)
-36% was bound to thyroxine-binding prealbumin (normal 49%-70%)
-13% was bound to TBG (normal 10%-25%)
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
10.3-24.9 mcg T4/dL bound to TBG
11.5-34.1 mcg T4/dL bound to albumin
48.8-70.4 mcg T4/dL bound to prealbumin
Other protein binders: normally not present
Thyroxine-binding globulin values may be elevated in females taking estrogens and by pregnancy.
> or =12 months: 5.0-12.5 mcg/dL
Reference values have not been established for patients that are <12 months of age.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature
