My husband (42) has just been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma. He will be starting hyper-CVAD with rituximab probably next week. Then, he is going to have an autologous stem cell transplant. I would really appreciate any survivors out there who can let us know what he should expect and offer some hope that he has a chance of beating the dismal odds we've read about. We've got 2 kids under 2 yrs. old with abother one on the way, and we are having a really hard time with this. We need some hope.

Was your dad in complete remission before the stem cell transplant? My mother was diagnosed with mantle cell stage 2 5 months ago. She just finished her 5th treatment (Nordic protocol) but the ct scan still showed cancer. The doctor told us to still go for the transplant- but I just don't get it, the body stills create cancer- how can a transplant work then? we are so sceared as we thought she had good prognosis after the staging..has anyone experiences anything similar?

As it was once explained to me, Lymphoma is cancer in the lymph system. Stem Cell uses the Stem Cells harvested from the bone marrow. As long as there is no sign of cancer in the bone marrow the Drs will plan on using the patient's own stem cell for the transplant.

Hope this finds you doing well!
I will start my first round of chemo Monday November 2, 2015 for six months then transplant.
Same as you, i want and need to be around for four year old twin grandchildren, one of whom is special needs the other one lives with me and my husband.

I have found an herb that kills all cancer cells in the body and leave the healthy cells in tact it's been tested in animal trials and human trials all very successful with no cancer detected in the body I ask the doctor in Canada how long till the cancer is removed from the body he said it depends on the persons body, but I ask him base on your human trials he said it took 32 out of 35 people roughly 3 to 7 months before the cancer was out of the body I ask him were can I purchase this cancer herb, he said threw me but it is very expensive 200.00 dollars not including shipping so I ask him how do I purchase it he told me just send me a money order of 215.00 to cover shipping and right away my radar went up this is a scam so it took me two weeks to say f it my uncle is dying of lung cancer and pancreatic cancer what the hell what's 200.00 dollars so I sent it and what if you no it came in a dark colored bottle and it said cancer support on it with dosage instructions and some reading material on it so I gave it to my aunt and told her to give this to your husband and follow the dosage instructions severely until his next doctor check up and guess what happen cancer stop spreading threw his body and began to see fewer cancer cells within two months ,my aunt came to see me after the doctor visit and she said the doctor told them that the medicine he gave him I see is working my aunt laugh she said and began to cry hugging me and told me I was her angel called mercy and that I was born with a purpose.

I'm 65 and was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in November after a routine colonoscopy.
I just finished a series of chemo (chop). It did not reduce the tumor -- just kept it at same size.
Does any have a similar experience, and what did you do.
Jan 26, 2010 - 5:16 pm
Hi hillsville,
I was 52 years old when I was told that I had MCL (April 15, 2008). My MCL was located in my colon and other areas of the admon. My cancer was found by a colonscopy. After seeing a oncologist, I was started on 6 rounds of R CHOP chem. A treatment every 21 days. I had another colonscopy after 2 treatments and it showed a reduction of the cancer. I had an additional 2 treatments and then another colonscopy. It showed a major reduction of the cancer. My oncologist talked about doing a stem cell transplant (SCT). I had two more treatments of Rituxin while waiting on insurance approval for the SCT. I had the SCT on Sept. 4, 2008. I had a colonscopy on Dec. 12, 2008 and it show no sign of MCL in the colon. It was a very hard time during the treatments and the SCT. But now I am being watch by oncologist every 3 months and still cancer free after 14 months. I pray that your chemo will start to kick in and reduce your cancer. MCL is a rare cancer and it not often that I get to talk to someone battling MCL. I did have 4 colonscopy in 2008. I have had two more in 2009.
Feb 05, 2010 - 10:46 pm
After a few issues I have gotten here.
I am being treated at MD Anderson Houston Tx.
I was diagnosed with MCL in December 2004. After 8 cycles of HYPERCVAD I was totally clear. I actually achieved partial remission after 4 cycles, but my oncologist thought continuation was the best path. Lucky me.(sic)
I have undergone tests every six months there after and have remained in remission.
I have just gone in for my latest test and feel extremely confident that all systems are. go.
I only want to take this opporunity to say to all the folks that have been diagnosed with MCL that "it is what it is". You have to deal with it and it can be dealt with.
Keep a positive attitude and follow your doctors advice, as much as you may object.
I hope this post encourages others and wish everyone well.
Feb 16, 2010 - 12:10 pm
Your prognosis is encouraging! Sounds like you are doing well 6 years later. Did you also receive a stem cell transplant? If not why? Looking over the posts seems like that is the "standard" treatment.
I am considering a clinical trial OHSU-4180 which includes drugs Rituxan, Cladribine and Vorinostat with no stem cell transplant. Was advised by Dr. these drugs should put me into a long term remission (5+years). They are not as hard on your body and can be done on an out patient basis. The Dr. advised I could always go the other route, heavier chemo drugs + stem cell transplant if it came back or perhaps other treatments would be available at that time.
I hope you have continued good health and beat wishes to all faced with this disease and to their family and friends whom share the journey.
Best Wishes,
Feb 26, 2010 - 5:44 pm
they say I am the rare bird.. I was diagnosed in nov. 2009 with localized mantle cell lymphoma...It has not spread to anywhere else in my body..just 2 sets of lymph nodes in my groin area... the one.. the surgeon removed was about 3 cm.. After going thru all the test and they came back good... the dr's reccomended that I have external radiation to that area for 25 treatments... then another pet scan in 2 to 3 months...

I have just been diagnosed with MCL (I'm in Canada). I am 59 years old. I just started chemotherapy. I will have 6 rounds of Bendamustine and Rituximab and then a stem cell transplant. I am terrified by the whole process but I am focussed and determined to get through this doing all I can to fight this.
Oct 14, 2015 - 11:35 pm
I'll pray for you and yes, you can do this. You can get through the treatment and come out on the other side. Be strong and be agressive. My dad had a stem cell transplant at the Mayo clinic and it saved his life. Get to the best hospital, with the best doctors that you possibly can. It makes a difference. God's peace girl. Take care!
Oct 31, 2015 - 1:34 pm
Will start this coming monday November 2,2015. I will have 6 rounds of Bendamustine and Rituximab and then a stem cell transplant.
I've just turned 68 yrs old
Any comments appreciated of what i can expect.
Most of all, hope you are well!
Apr 15, 2011 - 5:16 pm
Hi Rich. Just wondering if you did the clinical trial at OHSU?? My husband will be starting the same trial at OHSU this coming Tuesday April 19th 2011. If you did go that route how are you doing? What can we expect? I hope everything went well with you!
Nov 18, 2010 - 10:04 pm
My MCL in the colon was found as a second relapse of the disease; since I had so many different treatments it seemed no one wanted to treat me. After seeking more opinions, it was decided to try Rituxan. This worked fantastically for me and I was in remission for seven years with maintenance program using rituxan. I was lucky and had no reaction to the treatments. My Email address if you want more information is email@example.com I currently have a lung problem which may or may not be related to the rituxan treatments.
Dec 09, 2010 - 11:49 pm
So glad I found this web site, knowing there are other people out there that I can talk to that has been dealing with disease. I was diagnosed in Feb. 2008 with NHL, relapsed about three months after treatment. I had another bone marrow done and was diagnosed with MCL stage IV, I had intense chemo followed by allogeneic stem cell transplant. My 18th month was in Sept. CT Scan and bone marrow was done, all looked great. Tomorrow Dec. 8th I go in for another CT Scan. I'm sure things will be ok, but it really scares me.
So glad you could do the Rituxan, It's a great drug for MCL. I had a bad reaction to it so my treatments were shortened. Remission for seven years that's awesome!
Well I hope to chat sometime.
Oct 22, 2012 - 3:32 am
I'm gonna ask my doctor in Canada do he have anything for lymphoma and get back tomorrow until then fight with faith.
Jun 14, 2010 - 8:06 pm
My initial complaint was fatigue; I was an active age 68. In May 2006, elevated white blood cell count indicated an initial diagnosis with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) with the advice that a biopsy be obtained and analyzed for MCL vs CLL. An "itchy lump" on my calf (duration about 18 months) was biopsied in August 2006. The diagnosis was now MCL. Confirmation by bone marrow biopsy revealed stage IV MCL.
R-hyperCVAD was initiated in September 2006. Pneumonia, after 4 cycles of R-hyperCVAD, stopped the treatment in Dec 2006; but another bone marrow indicated complete remission had been achieved. After recovery and lots of tests, I was approved for a hematopoetic stem cell transplant. The options were autologous or donor cells. After much reading and considering my age (69) and quality of life issues (donor cells would require long term immune suppressive drugs), I decided to use my own purified stem cells. The preparation involved difficult chemotherapy - to wipe out my potentially cancerous immune system. On August 8, 2007, my purified stored stem cells were infused back into me. Recovery was slow. My physicians approved Rituximab Maintenance (RM) therapy to optimize my chances for long term remission. After a Feb 2008 initial RM of four weekly Rituxan infusions this treatment was changed (June 2008) to one infusion every 8 weeks. In 2009, I asked if the RM could be changed to one infusion every 10 weeks; my request was approved. The plan is to continue indefinitely. I have no side effects from the Rituxan.
My health has returned to close to normal (given age 72). Weekly hikes of 10-13 miles, with 1000-3000 ft elevation change, leave me tired but feeling good. Snorkeling for an hour at a time is wonderful. Bird watching is fun again. Provided I get back for my RM infusions my wife and I have enjoyed travel to the Galapagos Islands/ Ecuador, New Zealand/Australia (7 weeks), Kaua'i (annual - up to a month), Moloka'i, Arizona, Washington, etc. We are enjoying watching our 5 grandchildren grow up (for two years I did not see them, due to concern about my potential lack of resistance to infection). Life can be GREAT! (despite continuing concerns about possible MCL relapse.)

It was very uplifting to read your story. It gives me hope for my future. In March it will be one year since I had my stem cell transplant. I start my vaccinations this March. Did you have any problems with your shots? I am female and was 60 when diagnosed.--gayle

My 63 year old husband was diagnosed with CLL in 2008. After treatment he was in remission for 20 months before it came back again. Another round of chemo for CLL gave him only 2 months of remission. We found out the cancer was back again in February of 2011 when he had his tonsil removed and the biopsy showed it was MCL.Since then he had lymphomas appear in his neck and a fast growing lymphoma in the orbit behind his right eye, in his lung and in his testicle. Last week he checked in at Yale Smilow Cancer Center for three days of a really strong chemo that he seemed to tolerate pretty well until it gave him hiccupps. Of all the symptoms he has had to endure this is the one that is killing his fighting spirit. He has been taking progressively stronger muscle relaxers but they only work for a few hours at most. He is afraid to move or eat in case they get worse. Did anyone else have this problem? Did anything help get rid of them? He has to go for a second round in 2 weeks and this side effect is the one he fears most.
Nov 10, 2011 - 5:26 pm
Ok so I am not a mantle cell survivor but I am an oncology nurse and I am extremely close to a patient that has stage four mantle cell and is receiving hyper c vad. I don't know what stage he is but I will also not sugar coat it cancer is tough no matter what but I can tell you the one thing that has made this women do as well as she has is her positive thinking she has never questioned whether she will beat this, she says she knows she will. I assume your husband is young since you have very young children and that is on his side. Do lots of praying stay close to your higher power and use positive thinking and he will do fine. Also follow all the doctors orders and I believe he can fight this!
Dec 28, 2011 - 12:17 pm
The treatment didn't work and my husband died 11/30/2011. To all cancer patients and their spouses I would like to suggest making a video of your loved ones. We never did and now I would give anything to hear his voice and see him smile... even if it was only on film.
Apr 02, 2013 - 1:46 am
I received Hyper CVAD back in 2005-2006 for MCL. Hiccups were annoyingly common. Also several other side effects... We tried all of the normal home remedies, sometimes those worked. But when it was really bad for three straight days, my Dr tried a drug called Thorzine. Spelling may be incorrect, but it is a drug used for mental illness. Mental illness has nothing to do with the hiccups, but it worked better than anything else. The treatment is horrible, but I am still here 6 1/2 years later. Stage 4, in bone marrow, lymph nodes, gastric involvement, and more... If I can do it, so can you. I lost all of my savings, all my "stuff", and my great job, but I still have my family and I am still alive! It really is all about having a positive attitude to beat MCL. My treatment was at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Dr Michael Wang. Good Luck and God Bless!

Hi. you have given a hope for all of us. You have won biggest battle of yours. My father has MCL stage 4 with bone marrow involvment. Undergoing R-CHOP 6 cycle. Thanks for posting, feel good after hearing from you.
Apr 22, 2012 - 1:26 am
T B. Bigler: Which hospital were you treated in? How are you doing today?
Apr 02, 2013 - 2:29 pm
Hello Ron,
We just read your post. Bill is 1 year in remission from MCL. His chemo was Bendamustine/rituxan and he is now on his last year of rit maintenance. Even though we are thrilled with his progress it is always a little overwhelming to think about the future with MCL. What a boost for us to know that you have been in remission 6 1/2 years! We are so sorry for your losses during your battle. We own our business so the employees were able to hang on and he bounced back very quickly from near death to his old self in about 6 months. We just paid off $10.000 in lab bills as we have a high deductible ins and none of those initial tests qualified. Thank goodnes that is over. We hope you have been able to regroup and start anew again. You are right though, there is no price for life and we are thankful for every minute of it. We are encouraged with developments in the last years with MCL, which gives us much optimism.
Our very best to you and many congratulations and hope that perhaps you have kicked MCL's butt! Bill and Becky

Hi all,
My father has been diagnosed with MCL Stage 4, age 59. He is undergoing chemo R-CHOP 6 cycle. In his 3rd cycle Rituximab reacted and he vomited, so doctor discarded and gave only CHOP. Now in 4th cycle they will go for Rituximab again, if reacted they will drop it and go for only CHOP. Please let me know what are the effect if we go for only CHOP. Also can MCL be cured and what about prognosis. We are having a very hard time, i just passed from college and started my career and i have one younger brother and mother to look after. We are fighting hard and doing whatever we can do. Need help of all, i don't know how to go about it.
Apr 08, 2013 - 1:50 pm
Hi Ankit,
Bill was also diagnosed at stage 4 with 90% bone marrow involvement. As stated previously he received bendamustine (treanda)/rituxan. He had no problems with rit or the benda. No side effects, no hair loss. It is too bad they didn't put your father on it, but they are the docs and supposedly know better. It just seems that treanda is now the chemo of choice for MCL. We hope he can tolerate the rituxan as it is a marker for the chemo to make sure and kill the cancer cells. The usual treatment after chemo is to continue with rituxan for 2 years to keep marking the cancer cells in hopes that the immune system will kill them as they appear. Perhaps since RCHOP is hard on the system the rit is not as tolerated. I hope this helps, maybe you can ask the doctor about the treanda. We wish you the best and know how difficult it is to deal with all of this. Just know they are making great advances with MCL and like we have seen, remission is more and more successful, your dad will be feeling much better soon.
Feel free to ask any ???? and please let us know how your dad is progressing. Our very best to your family, Bill & Becky

Hi there,
My dad was diagnosed with Mantle cell about 5 years ago. He 1st did 40 rounds of radiation where he found his 1st tumour in his lymphnode in his groin ares. Exactly a year later, he found another in his neck and underwent surgery to remove it. They decided to do a round of radiation a year later, since they didn't remove all of it during the surgery. Last spring, they found approx. 6 tumours in his stomach and other areas of his body. They decided to do the 'watch and wait' till about Nov. of 2012 and started R-CHOP chemo once every 3 weeks and had approx 20 rounds. 2 weeks ago, he had a tube-like thing put in his chest to take his stem cells out in a couple of weeks and also in that same week he had intense chemo (not sure what kind) to increase his stems cells and also got neupogen to do the same thing. May 16, he will go into the hospital for 3 weeks. During those three weeks, the 1st week he do 6 days of intense chemo (I'm not sure what kind) and then he will have his own stem cells put back into him.
My dad is 54 and my brother and I are so young. I am completely stressed out about the survival rates and what types of treatments work better than others.
Can anyone tell me how long the normal survival rate is and without it coming back?
Apr 25, 2013 - 2:42 pm
After under going massive kemo and a bone marrow transplant (almost dieing)
Let me tell you it was no walk in the park
I lost over 70% of my long time memorey and about 40% of my short term memorey
I survived almost 6 years cancer free to wake up one morning with a lump on my neck the size of a softball
I went to my oncoligist and they schedueled me for surgerey to do a biopsie of the lump in my neck
they were going to take out the whole lump but didn't
the dicovered my cancer returned (mantel cell lymphomia)
it is the most uncomfortable feeling to have this huge lump on your neck it's like holding up a second head
I want them to remove it so I can be comfortable
I was told treatment this time around could kill me instantly due to my still weak immune system (they are leaving the desission to me)
or go with out treatment live aprox 18 months
I already told myself over and over for years I would not submit myself to that tourture again
I am at pease with my choice as I know I'm not in pain or suffering
I just wish they would remove this giant lump off my neck it just gets in the way
my daughter is taking this hard as we havent seen eachother in over 12 years (Due to a bad devorce)
I have her coming out to visit next month I can't wait
my poor wife is a basket case she knows I'm slowly dieing and she's not ready for me to go
my daughter knows I have cancer but she don't know I'm dieing this is going to be real hard to tell her
I just want to get out and enjoy all the things I can before I no longer can
I never knew what I was missing in my life till I got sick again
just being close with my famialy having fun along with all the laughter
This cancer is one mean SOB it just keeps coming
Apr 26, 2013 - 3:03 pm
I respect your decision Round 2, but I just want to give you another side to think about. When Bill was diagnosed with MCL, his bone marrow was 90% packed with cancer, his RBC was 1.6 and his platelets were way low (I can't remember now) and he was near death. I know many don't understand this but because of our religious beliefs we do not accept blood transfusions, so that was not an option for us. So you can see that he also was in very poor condition and the doctor was very negative and convinced he would die. He was given EPO shots to increase his blood counts and also hydrated for over a week before his 1st chemo. His counts were still low so he was given only 1/2 dose of Bendamustine (Treanda) /Rituxan. During his chemo, he had a bad spell with the symptoms he had suffered prior. Rigors and high fever 105. They had to stop his chemo and our son and I took over because we had dealt with it before. We got his fever down to 102 and they were able to finish the chemo and let us take him home. He went right to bed and slept for 2 hours. When he got up his temp was normal and we could tell that he was starting to recuperate and the chemo was working. He felt a little better each day. Another problem tho was that instead of his next chemo being in 3 weeks, the onc drug her feet and he went 5 weeks. His symptoms were starting to come back. At his appt. she rudely said "I don't think you are are going into remission and I'm thinking about stopping the chemo." When we told her Bill was getting symptoms again she immediatly scheduled chemo for the next day (Bill says he knew for the first time that he would die if she stopped the chemo). Needless to say we were extremely relieved and the last time we saw that oncologist. He continued chemo as scheduled at 3/4 dose, and is in complete remission a yr. Feb. 6 months after his first chemo. He had no side effects at all from Bendamustine, not even hair loss. It is very easy on the body. We just saw his onc (different one) Thursday and he told us MCL is not near as ominous as it has been in the past. He even said that if Bill is in remission for long enough they can use Benda again if he relapses. He emphasized "if" he relapses. I am so sorry for this long and personal post but I just feel like you shouldn't give up! Of course this is your decision, but my hope is that you will at least get a second opinion, ideally from a doctor specializing in MCL. There has to be some other options out there. I will keep you and your family in my prayers, Becky
Apr 27, 2013 - 6:56 am
Round 2, I agree with Becky 100%. It is your decision of course but often when we aren't well and/or are very fatigued, we don't make the best decisions. A second opinion as she suggests is a good idea. I am not in your shoes but I have worn similar ones in my journey and like all of us, have "walked the walk" with cancer. Please know you are supported here no matter what decision you make. I am thankful you have had 6 years of remission and wish you peace, strength and clarity through this tough time.
Big hearfelt hugs,
Apr 28, 2013 - 7:12 pm
I'm sorry for the things going on with your father. I know it is very scary for you and your brother. You can click on illead in the blue area and it will take you to our page. You can read about Bill and also if you look up at the post above jimwins in this section (two up from this post) you will see some more information. Please know that they are making very positive headway in treating Mantle cell. I am hoping that your father's doctors are familiar with MCL. Of course we are not doctors, so sometimes we have to trust that they are doing the best possible. I just wonder why he received radiation only when first diagnosed, but I suppose there are different thoughts on MCL and maybe treatment differs where it is located. Maybe you would want to get a second opinion just for your knowledge. We are a caring group here Kristie and please feel free to ask us or just to share your feelings or whatever. We are here for you. Bill and I know how scary MCL is but we also know that there is real positive hope that it is treatable and even hopefully getting to the point of being curable. Hang in there and be there for your father and please let us know how things are going, and as I said before, all of us are here for you. Becky
Apr 29, 2013 - 12:19 am
Hi there Becky,
I am starting to not look at any info on the internet because it seems to be all negative. It is truly great to find a site on here that I can talk to others about the situation I am going through. It does help to talk about it with friends and extended family; however, sometimes they just don't undersatnd how much of an impact this has on me and also seeing my dad go through this and also hearing him say "why me?". I have no idea how to respond to him in response to that question... I don't think it would be great to reply to him and say God knew you could deal with it, because my dad has already gone through really bad times in his life. It is really about time that he can live his life stress free of everything!
Thanks for the encouraging words, Becky!

Oct 04, 2013 - 2:18 pm
My husband was recently diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma Stage IV. He is previously healthy and is 47. We are looking into 4 institutions to undergo treatment and love to hear experience anyone who has had treatments with the followng Dr's, would also love any encouraging stories of patients who are in long term remission from these institutions/Dr's. We live in NY so our plan is to look into Memorial Sloan Kettering (still waiting to see who we will see but would love any tips if you liked working with a perticular doctor there), Dr Goy in Hackensack NJ, Cornell (Dr Leonard) and Roosevelt (Dr Groosbard). We are new to this so would appreciate any info we can get. Feel free to eMail us at email@example.com
Kind Regards,

It has been a long rough road since getting dx with MCL in March 2012, (will never forget that day)! But I'm done, finsihed all the chemo, had the Nordic Regimen, a combo of of Maxi-R-Chop and Ara-C. Then the autologous stem cell transplant. There were bumps in the road and at times I thought I was going to die for sure. But all along my doctors thought I would be 'cured' so I just kept plodding through.
It has been 6 months since my transplant and I am starting to feel like my old self. Don't despair, just hang in there, MCL is beatable! And I never thought I would say this but I am a better person today because of the experience. Each day I awake with a song of gratitude.
Nov 17, 2013 - 9:50 pm
I have been undergoing treatment with Dr Goy since July and will finish my last round of chemo shortly. Dr Goy, his team and Hackensack has been an awesome experience or us. I am enrolled in a clinical trail that adds Velcade to Hyper CVAd, the resultw from the trail so far have been very promising. Hackensack and MD Anderson are the only 2 facilities that offer this treatment. I am 47 and was diagnosed ith mantle cell stage IV, multiple enlarged nodes with bone marrow involvement. My nodes have all reduced in isze dramatically and my bone marrow has tested clean. When I first met Dr. Goy he told me that finding a cure for MCl keeps him up at night. I believe him, he is passionate and a bit quirky but we love him and his team.
Best of luck finding the right match for you!

My husband has also been undergoing treatment with Dr. Goy since being diagnosed with advanced Stage 4 MCL in August. As difficult as his diagnosis has been for him, we too cannot begin to say enough about how incredible Dr. Goy and his entire team at The John Thauer Cancer Research Center have been. We are beyond blessed to have found not only an unbelievably brilliant Dr. (without the all too typical "God-like" complex") but also a Dr. who is passionate about what he does. We (he) just finished his 6th cycle (B- yuck) a few weeks ago and will find out next week if Dr. Goy wants to do 7&8. (we were told that even if his CAT scan/colonoscopy come back clean, Dr. Goy, depending on the particular patient, will often call for two more) Dr. Goy quirky? Without a doubt, but what I thought was quircky 6 months ago (those first few visits- wow!), I now find to be so endearing. They just add that something extra to his already incredible brilliance. I am in complete awe of this man each and everytime we see him and thank God for him every day. I'm very curious if our paths have crossed at all either in the infusion room or at the hospital. I'm just going to throw this out to you. I have to imagine that it would be not only beneficial but also a wonderful support to be able to talk with someone who has and is going through exactly the same thing you are. I know it would be for my husband, George. (he's a really good guy! You can ask Goy!) So....if you think you're up for it and would like to talk, please do not hesitate to get back to me. I'll give you his email address and you can go from there.
In the meantime, stay healthy, stay strong and be wel!!

My name is Nicole and my mother (65, not in the best shape) just got diagnosed with mantle cell at Memorial Sloan. This was after our community doctor ( Westchester COunty, NY ) ran the first tests because her white blood count was high but just gave the cancer " inconclusinve" for its origins. Sloan diagnosed her with mantle cell. We are not going to a specific " mantle cell specialist " at this point and it worries me ( internet is a blessing and a curse). Right now they are waiting and watching. She has involvement in her bone marrow but not yet in her lymph nodes, and a spot on her colon. Have you found in your research in NY/NJ any doctors that treat this more aggressivley and do not take the " wait and watch" approach? I know you are knew to this too, but I am hoping you might have had some luck with any doctors you have come across.
My best wishes to your husband on a journey that is quick, and my prayers to you as a fellow caretaker.
Jan 10, 2014 - 12:20 am
Hi Nicole,
Was wondering if it would be possible for your mom to come to N.J and see Dr. Goy? The John Thauer Cancer Research Center at Hackensack Hospital is only 15 minutes over the GWB. I cannot swear by this enough.
Praying for your mom and you. Stay strong!
Jun 24, 2015 - 1:44 am
Hello - I am hoping your mom continues to be ok. I am 59 years old and just diagnosed with MCL. I started chemo last week (it will be 6 rounds of two days of Bendmustine and Rituximab) and then a stem cell transplant.
Aug 10, 2015 - 12:12 am
Hi Willow,
I was diagnosed with MCL in 2013 @56. I'm currently in remission with two Rituxan treatments remaining. I live in Ohio & am getting treatment through the Cleveland Clinic. You can drop me a note if you'd like. I too was suppose to have the SCT but because of underlying health issues, (quadriplegic) I was no longer a canidate after chemo. They thought I wouldn't survive the transplant. I've been doing Rituxan treatments & a CT every six months.
Oct 04, 2013 - 5:39 pm
If you go to the first page of this thread and scroll almost halfway down there are 2 short posts from ggl2013. In his 2nd post (about 4 down from his first), he says he is going to Dr. Goy. That is the last post I ever saw from him but he posted privately to us, but I never did hear from him much after that. You can click on his name in the the blue area to get his info and also can email him privately through CSN (no email addresses exchanged). You have to create a sign in first though. Hope this helps. We are in CA so do not have any experience with the doctors you speak of. I have seen Dr. Goy's name in my research however, he seems very notable with MCL.
Oct 04, 2013 - 5:57 pm
Thanks Becky for taking the time to reply :)
Nov 12, 2013 - 1:20 am
We are kind of in uncharted waters. It's scary but very hopeful. We take one day at a time but add a few extra! Bill & Becky
Jan 06, 2014 - 7:21 pm
I think our situations are failry similar and we are seeking the best care for my mother, who was diagnosed with lymphoma on Oct 5, but the dx came back as mantle cell about a month ago. She just recently went back for additional blood work, and only upon complaining about her arm (after I made her tell the dr) they ordered a Pet scan at sloan, and the results came back today that there is " active uptake" in her arm, the lesion still on her colon, and an additional lesion as shown from an MRI behind her eye ( but perhaps not related to any lymphoma). They are still waiting and watching and it doesn't feel right to me, so I am on here looking for advice since I am very new to this.
I am thinking about a second opinion at hackensack with Dr. Goy ( she currently got dx at Sloan with Dr. Portlock) , or even Cornell with Leonard. Have you decided where to go yet? Do you have any updates on how you guys are doing?
I am sending prayers to you!

Recurring Role
1. In the scene where Chris and video director Brian are watching the video for "Please" in Chris' living room, we see Brian sitting on a chair in front of the TV, holding onto a container of cheese balls, munching away on them as he watches the video. Then the doorbell rings. As Chris gets up to answer it, he takes the cheese balls from Brian and puts them on the bar between the kitchen and the
living room. Chris goes to the door and lets Yola in, and the two of them find their way back into the kitchen as they have their conversation. The scene cuts back to Brian, still sitting on his chair in front of the TV, once again holding onto the container of cheese balls... yet asking Chris where the cheese balls got to... However, the perspective of the camera is Chris' from the kitchen, looking across the bar... as we see Brian, holding a can of cheese balls, we can see the can that Chris took from him earlier sitting on the bar... right where he left it to answer the door.
2. The TV that Chris and Brian are watching the "Please" video on in Chris living room is a modern one with a square screen... not the vintage rounded screen with the wooden cabinet we see as the show's opener each week. In actual fact, however, we don't see a Television set in Chris' house much at all throughout any part of the series. The only times in season one that we see a TV set is when the machine is somehow required in the episode.
3. When Bai Ling
visits Chris in his room at the hotel, she sits on the love seat in front of his window – across from Nedra's room.
The curtains are opened only far enough to reveal the center pane and
about half of the pane to the right of that.
As their conversation continues, the curtains behind Bai Ling are suddenly opened farther, showing about half the pane to the left of the center
4. Likely NOT a goof, but worth noting... As Bai Ling
leaves Chris' room (#6), we see Jean-Baptiste looking out of his bedroom (#8) door, which is at the end of the hall to the right of Chris' room. While it's possible that his room connects the wings of the hotel that cause Chris' room and Nedra's room to run parallel
to each other, it's also possible that this could be an error...
5. As Chris talks to Monique on the phone in the closing sequence – after he and Anson watch the NEW video… the image on the TV screen behind him, is a shot of Bai Ling's eye from the "Please" video…
Quote #1:
Jodie to Anson when they meet again in the field after the first day's shooting: "What are you, the choreographer?"
Anson: "No, I'm straight, I'm in the band."
Quote #2:
Jodie to Anson as they're talking in the barn. Anson, happy that Jodie accepted a date with him, begins to dance a bit, and winds up behind Thor, her horse:
"Don't stand behind him, he doesn't like it. Especially men."
Anson: "Yeah, sure, I'm the same way."
Quote #3:
Chris to Anson, in Chris' living room after the video shoot, talking about the mystery of women: "It's the mystery. The never-ending mystery that keeps us coming back for more, you know? That thing about 'em that makes us want 'em; that drives us crazy for 'em."
Anson: "Jugs."
Chris: "It's so great that we have these moments together…" as he helps Anson from his chair and points him toward the door…

Let's say I have four comboboxes (let's call the cbA1, cbA2, cbB1, cbB2), cbA1 and cbB1 are bound to the same property and cbA2 and cbB2 to a different property in my viewmodel. Before I switched over to MVVM I had some codebehind that made sure the same value wasn't the same in cbA1 and cbB1. They use an enum as the itemssource.
You'll have to ignore the reasons why I have this many comboboxes displaying the data as it is for now. I only stumbled on this accidentally.
This is how they are constructed in XAML:
SelectedValue="{Binding Window1Page}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={local:Enumeration {x:Type Enum:eDisplayPages}}}"/>
SelectedValue="{Binding Window2Page}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={local:Enumeration {x:Type Enum:eDisplayPages}}}"/>
So when I run the app the #1 comboboxes display the data from Window1Page and the #2 comboboxes display the data from Window2Page. My old codebehind checked to make sure that what was in the #1 comboboxes couldn't be in #2 comboboxes. This worked a treat. Now I'm moving to the MVVM model I've moved the code to do the check into the property itself. Here is one of the properties:
public eDisplayPages Window1Page
get { return _window1page; }
if (_window1page == value)
if ((value.Equals(_window2page)) && (value != eDisplayPages.NoDashPage))
//Can't have them both selecting the same page
value = eDisplayPages.NoDashPage;
SetProperty(ref _window1page, value);
Although not really pertinent here is the enum to help you visualise the issue:
public enum eDisplayPages
[Description("NO Layout")]
NoDashPage = 0,
[Description("Main Layout")]
[Description("Timing Layout")]
So the issue I'm seeing is that when I change lets say cbA1 to the same value as cbA2 the property code runs and changes the value to the default "NoDashPage", but it only updates the combobox that I didn't make the change in, in this case cbB1.
The old codebehind method used to change the combobox I was focused on as well as the other combobox. The only difference there was that I used to set the SelectedValue of the focused combobox to the new value, which did update the other combobox.
I don't understand why it doesn't then change the combobox I made the initial selection in. If I go into the debugger the value of Window1Page is correct.
Whilst I'll eventually remove the duplicate comboboxes the fact the one I have focus on isn't updating is the biggest issue.

http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/staryu Going to rewrite everything, of course. The actual analysis will be a lot more serious. Quality Control: 2/2 [comatthew6] [Aerrow] Grammar-Prose: 2/2 [Steven Snype] [Engineer Pikachu] [Overview]
Staryu is one of the most commonly seen Pokemon in Little Cup. As the best Rapid Spin user, Staryu often spins away hazards before Recovering and removing status with Natural Cure. In addition, Staryu is one of the fastest Pokemon in the tier, reaching a blazing 19 Speed. With a powerful STAB attack in Hydro Pump and good coverage moves, it can also be a devastating sweeper. In general, Staryu is a fantastic Pokemon and should be considered whenever your team has a weakness to entry hazards or simply needs a fast sweeper.
 [SET] name: Eviolite move 1: Hydro Pump move 2: Thunderbolt move 3: Rapid Spin / Hidden Power Fire move 4: Recover item: Eviolite ability: Natural Cure nature: Timid evs: 36 HP / 200 SpA / 240 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
This is by far Staryu's most common set, and for good reason. Staryu's good bulk and Eviolite combined makes it nearly impossible to OHKO, and STAB Hydro Pump 2HKOes almost everything that doesn't resist it. Thunderbolt allows Staryu to hit Water-types that resist Hydro Pump and is an accurate move to finish off weakened Pokemon. Staryu is the best Rapid Spin user in Little Cup, as the combination of Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt allows Staryu to easily beat every Ghost-type Pokemon in Little Cup. If entry hazards are not a problem for your team, Hidden Power Fire can be used instead to hit Ferroseed and Snover, two Pokemon who resist both Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt. Recover, when combined with Eviolite, makes Staryu difficult to KO with conservative play. Staryu can force many Pokemon out and use the free turn to Rapid Spin or Recover.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
The EVs maximize Staryu's Special Attack and Speed so it can hit as hard as possible with Hydro Pump. Ice Beam is an option over Rapid Spin or Hidden Power Fire, as otherwise this set is walled by Dragon-types. However, Dragon-types are much rarer than Ferroseed and Snover. Good teammates for Staryu include Pokemon that are weak to entry hazards. With Stealth Rock removed via Rapid Spin, Larvesta can wall the common Fighting-types extremely well. Staryu is extremely weak to the common Chinchou, so a Chinchou of your own can be helpful to wall opposing ones. Diglett can switch in on Chinchou's Volt Switch and Thunderbolt and OHKO it with STAB Earthquake. A Fighting-type such as Mienfoo can take out Munchlax, which walls Staryu. Mienfoo also appreciates the removal of entry hazards, as it allows its ability, Regenerator, to be much more efficient.
 [SET] name: Life Orb move 1: Hydro Pump move 2: Thunderbolt move 3: Hidden Power Fire move 4: Ice Beam / Recover item: Life Orb ability: Natural Cure nature: Timid evs: 200 SpA / 240 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
While the Eviolite set takes a more balanced approach, this set sacrifices Staryu's bulk for sheer power. Hydro Pump hits incredibly hard with 16 Special Attack and a Life Orb. Thunderbolt and Hidden Power Fire hit Water- and Grass-types, respectively, for super effective damage. Ice Beam hits Dragon-types, while Recover allows Staryu to have more longevity. Life Orb and the lack of bulk will wear down Staryu very quickly, so Recover can help to offset that.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
The EVs give Staryu as much Special Attack and Speed as possible. No HP EVs are used on this set to give Staryu 19 HP, which means it will only take one damage per attack from Life Orb. If you do not choose to use Hidden Power Fire, an EV spread of 76 Def / 196 SpA / 236 Spe can be used instead. Surf can be used over Hydro Pump if you are concerned about accuracy, but Hydro Pump's power is preferred. Toxic can hit bulkier Pokemon such as Lileep or Munchlax, which Staryu cannot directly defeat.

Like any sweeper, Staryu appreciates entry hazards. Ferroseed is an excellent partner for Staryu, resisting the Electric- and Grass-type attacks that Staryu hates. It can set up Stealth Rock and Spikes and is also able to Thunder Wave Pokemon with Choice Scarf that outspeed Staryu. Like the Eviolite set, Diglett can OHKO Chinchou, who walls this set. Wynaut can take out Choice Scarf Pokemon with ease due to Shadow Tag, which would otherwise outspeed and easily take out this set. A Choice Scarf user of your own can help to take out Elekid and Diglett, both of whom naturally outspeed Staryu. Snover, with its ability, Snow Warning, allows Staryu to use Blizzard over Ice Beam. It also resists Electric- and Grass-type attacks.
 [SET] name: Rain Dance move 1: Rain Dance move 2: Hydro Pump move 3: Thunder move 4: Recover item: Eviolite ability: Natural Cure nature: Timid evs: 36 HP / 196 SpA / 236 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
Staryu makes for an excellent Rain Dance supporter, as its combination of bulk and Recover allows it to set up Rain Dance multiple times. In addition, STAB Hydro Pump in rain does even more damage than the Life Orb set would. Thunder gains perfect accuracy when it is raining and easily OHKOes opposing Staryu. This Staryu is meant to be played conservatively to set up Rain Dance over and over again—it should be keeping its health high via Recover instead of going for KOs. However, with 19 Speed, Staryu will often find opportunities to pick off weakened Pokemon with Hydro Pump or Thunder.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Good teammates for this set include Pokemon that take advantage of Rain Dance, such as Omanyte and Mantyke. In rain, both reach very high Speeds and hit incredibly hard with their STAB attacks. Fighting-types, such as Mienfoo, also help this set and rain teams in general by taking out Lileep, who walls Staryu. Mienfoo can also set up Rain Dance itself. Chinchou is another obstacle that completely walls this set. Again, a Chinchou of your own can not only wall opposing Chinchou, but also set up Rain Dance and sweep under it with STAB Hydro Pump and Thunder. Ferroseed is still a great partner, as it sets up entry hazards for your rain sweeper(s). Moreover, its Fire-type weakness is reduced while rain is falling on the field.
 [Other Options]
Aside from the listed options, Staryu has some moves that can be of use. Thunder Wave can allow Staryu to cripple sweepers, but Staryu does not particularly benefit from paralysis due to its naturally high speed. Hidden Power Grass hits Chinchou super effectively but has little use otherwise. Cosmic Power can boost Staryu's Defense and Special Defense, making it a potent staller when combined with Recover. Staryu is one of the few good Gravity users in Little Cup and has Hydro Pump, Blizzard, and Thunder to abuse it. Reflect and Light Screen are options, but Natu usually performs the role better. A slow Staryu with Analyze can be used to make it much stronger, but Staryu enjoys going first much more. Rest can be used with Natural Cure to fully heal Staryu, but Recover is more reliable.
 [Checks and Counters]
Chinchou is the best Staryu counter, easily taking any attack that Staryu carries and retaliating with STAB Thunderbolt or Volt Switch. Munchlax, with its gargantuan HP and Special Defense, walls Staryu all day and hits it with Return or Pursuit as it tries to switch out. Dragon-types, such as Dratini, can switch in on any Staryu set not running Ice Beam and proceed to set up with Dragon Dance. Storm Drain Lileep can even wall Ice Beam with the correct EV spread and retaliate with Energy Ball or proceed to set up with Stockpile. Ferroseed and Snover, while fearing Hidden Power Fire, wall Hydro Pump and can seriously put the hurt on Staryu with their own STAB Grass-type attacks. Finally, bulky Grass-types such as Shroomish and Chikorita can survive Ice Beam or Hidden Power Fire and Giga Drain (or Spore in Shroomish's case) to incapacitate Staryu.

Everyone can use some peace and centering in their lives, and I know many of you enjoy having something playing in the background whether you're actively meditating or carrying out other tasks. So I created this 44 minute centering meditation track that I call "Universal Clarity Meditation". This track has no subliminal encoding, BUT it's still a very powerful tool for achieving a state of meditation and clearing your mind so that you can focus on setting your own intentions and communicating with your subconscious…
This free MP3 download contains binaural beats which start you off in a heightened Alpha brainwave state (fully alert, awake, energized) and then gradually bring you down into a Theta brainwave state (meditation, dreams). IF you stick with the track from start to finish, and focus on clearing your mind while listening, you WILL notice a change in your thinking, a kind of "shift", almost immediately after. Here's what you do:
If you follow those instructions and actually USE this meditation track, you will be amazed at some of the results that follow. This is actually a very powerful track that should be either for sale or as the background on one of the subliminal videos, but I know many of you will benefit from this. So download it. And USE IT. If you let it sit in a file with other things you've downloaded years ago and don't use, you'll get zero results. Trust me. Use this.

I have a 2001 Saturn that has been sitting for a year. Nothing was done to stabilize the gas before it was parked. With the ethanol in the gas here in Minnesota what should I do to get this running again? I have not tried to crank it yet.
Not sure how much gas is in the tank?

Exploring the long-awaited Debian 3.1 sarge
Debian developers coded, talked, and postponed deadlines for 35 months until Debian 3.1, alias Sarge, finally saw the light of the Linux day. The list of new features is impressive, including a new installer and many state of the art technologies.
The Debian GNU/ Linux operating system, which is renowned among Linux professionals for its stability, is now gaining popularity with Linux newcomers. Debian offers regular updates and hard-to-beat, convenient package management. Debian users have waited almost three years for a new stable release of their landmark OS. Now, at last, the world is waking up to a brand new Debian. Debian 3.1, alias Sarge, replaced the venerable Woody (version 3.0) June 6, 2005. You'll find a list of sources for Debian Sarge at [1] with options ranging from your local dealer, through CD/ DVD image downloads, to PCs preloaded with Debian.

Skip to comments.Where we were when Pearl Harbor was attacked
Posted on 12/02/2005 5:57:53 AM PST by Moonraker
On December 7, future U.S. President George H.W. Bush was a 17-year-old student and captain of the baseball team at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. "I remember it well," he says. "We had just left church and started to walk across campus when someone shouted out, 'Pearl Harbor's been bombed.'"
On his 18th birthday, the following June, Bush signed up to become a Naval aviator. He completed flight school and earned his commission a few days before his 19th birthday making him the youngest aviator in the Navy at that time.
(Excerpt) Read more at worlddefensereview.com ...
Bush was stunned. John Kennedy asked, "I thought her name was Pearl Bailey?"
Thanks, that was a good, light, read.
It was my Mom's 21st birthday. Some way to remember it!
I was not around yet. But my mothers brother was aboard the U.S.S. Arizona. I never got to meet my uncle.
My GRANDMOTHER was 15 years old!
Just goes to show you, all age groups are welcome to FreeRepublic! :-)
Hey,C'mon...that's not fair.JFK(and his brother Joe,for that matter) served honorably in WWII,as did former President Bush and many others.
In fact,JFK was,IMO,the last prominent (influential) democRAT to be worthy of the respect of today's Republicans/ conservatives.
I don't remember. I was 2-1/2 months old at the time.
My dad was drafted near the end of the war, but didn't see any combat.
Since I was not yet born -- nor, I think, was my mother -- I cannot truly say.
Considering the time difference between Hawaii and MA, does this statement strike anyone else as...odd?
JFK was known for his pursuit of women of any age.
Help drive your local leftists further off the edge. ;)
Pearl Harbor Ping
Why should it? Around 1:00 pm MA time.
He left Church. Probably hanging out with friends awhile afterwards then walked across campus.
That's about right.
News of the attack on Pearl Harbor left an indelible impression on the minds of those people old enough at the time to understand the implications. Just like 911 is to more recent generations. My parents (Canadians) remembered precisely were they were when they first heard the news on that fateful Sunday in December 1941.
Where was I? Well, since my dad was only 1 1/2 years old, I was nowhere near Pearl so it wasn't my fault. But I'm sure the MSM could find some way to blame George HW for all of it.
In all seriousness though ... may God bless the souls of all of the men that died there on that fateful day.
It possibly would if satellite transmissions and CNN had existed back then.
My mom was born the next day (Dec. 8, 1941).
"I thought her name was Pearl Bailey?"
You can't do that joke in this time of metastasizing PC, but I remember Flip Wilson doing it on TV.
My Mom and Dad, not yet married, were at a Redskins game. My Dad died in 1977, but I remember him telling me that he thought something was going on when lots of young junior officers started coming into Griffith Stadium to tell thier boss what had happened. Of course, these officers and thier bosses immediately left the game. I don't remember if he said there was any PA announcement, or if he learned it for certain once they left the stadium. I'm sure all the papers ran extra's. He was a season ticket holder back then, and I still have them. After the last two weeks I am beginning to think I am out of my mind.
I wasn't born yet. I did have a great uncle who fought in WW2 and became a POW. He was held for a couple of months and my great grandmother received a telegram telling her he was MIA. Somehow he escaped and made it to American troops. Sent home. That is all I know. He would never talk about it. But his mom saved the telegram and she had his dogtags and picture.
I was in my crib, being only 27 days old; maybe my oldest sister was holding me, as she was a great help to my Mom.
Yes,that's the commonly held belief.Assuming that it's true it represents a serious character flaw.
But you have to admit that this country would be *much* better off if the leaders of today's democRAT Party had marital infidelity as their most serious character flaw.
Can you see any current day democRAT suggesting that Americans should "ask not what your country can do for you"? Or to declare that America should "suppport any friend and oppose any foe"?
I could go on,but I think you get the picture.
I have read many of the writings and speeches of JFK.
By today's standards the man was no Liberal. If he ran for office today, I'd likely vote for him.
I was eleven years old and living in Oasis, CA where my dad was a shift foreman at the Lady Easter talc mine.
My dad was an ensign on the USS Phoenix sitting in Pearl Harbor. He said it took them 30 minutes to build up enough steam before they could get underway. They did not get hit. Dad said the Phoenix was the luckiest ship in the navy.
Yes, those who died young and unmarried seem to sort of evaporate. But they gave all. My father was in the Navy and at Iwo Jima and Leyte Gulf, he survived. His first cousin was killed at Anzio beach in '44, we never knew him, nor anything about him.
Getting a package ready now for relative in Iraq.
good read
I agree.In a book I read a few years back (can't recall the title or author) it was claimed that the Kennedy sons learned that stuff from their old man (who was a scumbag of the first order) and that,in fact,their old man used to try to scoop the sons' girlfriends for bed partners.
No,JFK was far from perfect but was,philospoically at least,a choir boy compared to today's democRAT leaders.
Dh's grandfather died there that day.
But my dad was a sophomore at The Citadel. He was sitting in the language lab, listening to a Spanish-language shortwave broadcast. When the announcer came on the radio and said that Pearl had been bombed, he wasn't sure he had heard it correctly - so he called the instructor over, and he listened, and told him that indeed he HAD heard it correctly.
Dad's mom had a friend on the draft board back home in Rome GA, who told her that his number would be coming up. So he didn't bother to go back to school for spring semester, figuring he would pay all that tuition and just get drafted and lose all his credits and his (or his mom's) money too. So he hung around home, got bored, and went down and enlisted! North Africa, Italy, Trieste, and the Greek elections . . . got shot at but everybody mostly missed, he was wounded very slightly but too embarassed to take a Purple Heart.
Yes, if the Dems would go back to that sort of Political course, instead of where they are now, trying to sink the ship to save their own politcal hides.
I had been conceived at that time, to be born on the birthday (June 12) of H.W. Bush. My Dad and his four brothers all served with four of them in hostle hell fire. I owe them so much. I hope the spelling is right, I am having trouble seeing, somebody left the water running.
Another relatively minor,but revealing,tidbit of info about what is rightly called "The Greatest Generation". Kerry,for one,wasn't nearly as easily embarrassed as was your Dad.
Sunday, December 7, 1941, was 'Bloody Sunday' for my dad who was a salesman in Shreveport, Louisiana at the time. He went on to serve in Euprope.
Sunday, December 7, 2003, was 'Bloody Sunday' for my son who was a soldier with the 101st in Mosul. An IED had killed his best friend just moments after they had parted on separate assignments. Later he helped wash the blood out of the Humvee and present the eulogy at the memorial service.
Both my father and my son have their on December 7ths to mark their lives and I sit here as a 'tweener'of sorts wondering at it all. My dad and my son are far better men than me.
There are things,IMO,that are more easily excused when one is 19 and single than when one is 40,married,with children.
I think it's widely believed that JFK was "gettin' it on" with Marilyn Monroe and Judith Exner while at the WH.If true,I think this goes beyond "youthful indiscrtions".
But,if true,JFK would *still* (IMO) be head and shoulders above the likes of Kerry,fitness-for-the-Presidency-wise.
I was around -- in Massachusetts. I was 10 and my family was visiting another family. When the news came over the radio, someone said ---"Where's Pearl Harbor"?. Julie, was the daughter of the family we were with, and when we were outside with some friends, she started to cry and wail, and carry on because she had relatives in California. My thoughts were that she'd do anything, as usual, to get attention. (nasty me)
Are you certain of that? After all,you *did* learn from your Dad.And from whom did your son learn?
My Dad was in the Army at the time, and most likely would have taken part in an invasion of Japan had we not dropped the bomb and forced their surrender. It is very possible that I am here today because of what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
My dad had his orders cut to proceed to the Pacific theater . . . that's bad enough . . . but my father in law had HIS orders cut for the invasion of mainland Japan! He was Signal Corps at that time (later Army Air Corps and Air Force . . . retired as a bird colonel) and had already been thoroughly shot at on Iwo and Saipan, had his jeep blown out from under him on Iwo without so much as a scratch sustained. But I think his luck would have run out in a mainland invasion . . .
...until it ran up against the British Navy in the Falkland Islands.
Was your father around when the Phoenix met her doom? Torpedoed by a British submarine with the loss of hundreds of lives in icy waters. Brrrr!

This was a very good tuna salad recipe. I really enjoyed the cayenne and red onion (both of which I usually don't use). I personally think it needed just a touch more mayo. Also, I think some chopped pickles or relish would have been nice. Thank you for posting the recipe and for a new idea!

Just Eat It
Imagine living for half a year solely on food that other people threw away. Unappetizing? Unsanitary? Unhealthy? Not at all, says film producer Jen Rustemeyer, who together with director Grant Baldwin, undertook that experiment to prove a point: our society wastes a tremendous amount of perfectly edible food. Their new film "Just Eat It" will screen this Thursday, February 11th at Madison's High Noon Saloon.
Brian Standing spoke with Jen about the film and its impacts on the Monday 8 O'Clock Buzz.
Intimate Systems
100 State, the largest of Madison's entries into the growing cohort of membership-based coworking sites, has developed an artistic arm, dubbed 100 Arts. 100 Arts threw a gallery opening party for itself Saturday. The new exhibit runs through April 28th and is entitled "Intimate Systems" and features 25 artists exploring the intersection of science and art. Brian Standing spoke with Carlos Gacharná, manager and head curator at 100 Arts, about the exhibition and plans of 100arts on the Monday 8 O'Clock Buzz.
The Resilience of the Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative
Since 1989, Madison's Rainbow Bookstore has operated as a worker-owned cooperative supplier of a variety of published materials from alternative presses. Since Rainbow's birth twenty seven years ago, the rise of digital media has dramatically changed the economic landscape for booksellers, especially independents. To survive, Rainbow has had to reimagine itself, and more changes are on the way. Brian Standing spoke with Suz Smela and Erik Beach, two members of the Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative, on the Monday 8 O'Clock Buzz.
Fresh Perspective Collective
Milwaukee's Fresh Perspective Collective has mounted a rare exhibit in Madison's Overture Center Playhouse Gallery, focusing on art from an African American male perspective. They held an opening event on Friday, and the exhibit runs through February 28th.
Brian Standing spoke with two members of the Collective, Bennie Higgins and Michael Ward, about their work and exhibition on the Monday 8 O'Clock Buzz.
The Rebound of the Upper Sugar River
The Upper Sugar River starts where the Wisconsin glacier stopped 50,000 years ago. From the highlands near Mt. Horeb, the river winds its way through southwestern Dane County before hitting the Lake Belleville dam. From there it eventually joins the Pecatonica River in Winnebago County, near the Illinois state line.
It's had a varied and occasionally troubled history, serving as a power source for timber mills, and more recently, as a outflow for agricultural fields. Lately, however, it has become a mecca for trout fishers, kayakers and naturalists, as the river's health and ecology has experienced a remarkable rebound. The Upper Sugar River Watershed Association can take a good chunk of the credit for that turnaround. Brian Standing spoke with Wade Moder, Executive Director of the Upper Sugar River Watershed Association, about the work of the Association on the Monday 8 O'Clock Buzz.

NEW YORK — Retailers and vendors didn't walk away from the spring market disappointed.
This story first appeared in the August 26, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The strengths presented at Madison Avenue showrooms, as well as two trade shows — the Intimate Apparel Salon and Lingerie Americas — were anchored in fashion ideas.
Retailers were focused on special-looking merchandise, whether it was a different spin on a cami and matching thong, expanded assortments of daywear items that coordinate with foundations or sleepwear collections, or at-homewear pieces such as softly tailored pajamas in feel-good fabrics that satisfy the growing demand for enhanced comfort.
Top-booking ideas included:
l An array of fashion colors, ranging from solid cosmetic pales and midtone brights to multicolored combinations.
l A big return to lace, especially cross-dyed goods.
l Textured treatments, including engineered prints and plissé effects.
l A continuation of crossover looks such as slips that double as dresses and tailored pajamas that can be worn to sleep, while entertaining at home or out as casual sportswear.
Mary Krug, vice president and divisional merchandise manager of intimate apparel and hosiery at Neiman Marcus, said: "After we sat down and had seen everything we needed to see, we still thought the daywear category looked very strong. It still continues to perform very well for us, whether it's luxe lace, tulle or mesh. The strength was in contemporary looks."
Krug said she generally thought the at-homewear category "looked very good," particularly yoga-inspired looks from designer names such as the Donna Karan Body collection at Wacoal America.
"The demand for comfort goods will only get stronger. Overall, I was very pleased with the market based on sales," said Krug, noting that contemporary brands such as Cosabella, BedHead and Claire Pettibone looked "very strong." She added that the licensed Oscar de la Renta sleepwear collection at Carole Hochman Designs "looked very salable for the traditional customer."
Donna Wolff, vice president and dmm of intimate apparel at Bloomingdale's, said daywear and foundations brands, including Hanky Panky, On Gossamer, Calvin Klein Underwear and DKNY Underwear, "looked great."
"There's been a big return to lace and color, much more than I've seen in a long time," said Wolff. "I thought spring merchandise looked very fresh. Anything new and different is selling."
Wolff further noted that at-homewear business at Bloomingdale's continues to be "extremely strong. Overall, [innerwear] business right now is on plan, and we exceeded plan in June and July," said Wolff.
Anne Caetano, the newly appointed dmm of intimate apparel at Saks Fifth Avenue, said: "Daywear has been amazing, and we are seeing it as an emerging category. Foundations resources are continuing to add daywear pieces to their collection, but now they are important pieces that are not so basic looking, almost looking like works of art.
"Daywear is becoming much more of a necessity because of its dual purpose and is a great segue into the foundations department and a way to have fashion on the selling floor. The consumer is not afraid to buy fashion colors and a variety of styles."
Caetano said she liked "interesting mixes" of laces with other fabrics such as featherweight jerseys and microfibers. She singled out daywear by Natori as looking "very strong."
In both the daywear and foundations categories, Caetano cited a neutral palette of cosmetic shades as a "top idea." In foundations, she said several brands looked "updated and contemporary," citing Aubade, Chantelle and Wacoal.
"Donna Karan [intimates] continues to be very focused and strong with unique-looking woven textures such as geometric-pattern microfibers I haven't seen in camis, soft bras and underwire bras," she said. "We are seeing a big opportunity in loungewear and contemporary sleepwear. We see vendors who are more modern and contemporary-looking in sleepwear as continuing to perform."
Regarding the pace of business at the spring market, Caetano said: "It's becoming very fast, and our vendors are responding to that and are keeping up with trends and giving us product we want."
Polly Berg, owner of the lingerie boutique that bears her name in Wayzata, Minn., said: "I went to the Intimate Apparel Salon show at the Millennium Hotel and spent a lot more time there than I usually do because there were a lot of important resources."
Berg said she placed orders for a line of robes and at-homewear by Cabana Club, which specializes in softly tailored items in men's shirting fabrics, as well as pima cotton pajamas in wovens and knits by three sleepwear brands, Cotn, P.Jymas and Treesha, which also is shown at the Olivia Feldman showroom here on Madison Avenue.
From a vendor's perspective, Gianluca Flore, chief executive officer at La Perla Fashions, the U.S. unit of luxury Italian lingerie house Gruppo La Perla, said: "We wanted to introduce an item that would make a big difference because people are thinking a little more when they spend. So, we came up with one-of-a-kind hand-painted lace bras, matching thongs and a full slip."
Flore said the hand-painted numbers, which feature a floral motif on a leaf and have dyed-to-match embroideries, are available in light blue, coral, nude, and white and black. Bookings were "significant," despite the high-end price tag — suggested retail is $280 for a bra, $120 for a thong and $400 for a full slip, he said.
Barbara Lipton, vice president of merchandising and design at the licensed Donna Karan innerwear businesses at Wacoal America, said a top-booking group by Donna Karan Intimates was a mix-and-match group of tops and pajama pants in cotton wovens and knits.
"Sleepwear items crossing over into loungewear was very important," said Lipton, noting that a top idea for Mother's Day selling was an engineered print on silk as well as cotton sleepwear.
In the DKNY Underwear line, Lipton singled out a cross-dyed lace group of bras and daywear items, called Seduction, as a key group. She added that another daywear group of embroidered tulle also received strong reaction.
"Everything was available in fashion colors, and color across the board were very well received. The combinations of colors were integral to the success of the collections," said Lipton.
Victor Lee, chief operating officer of NAP Inc., said bras of Calais and Guipure lace by Princesse Tam Tam booked well, as well as lingerie items that can be merchandised with sleepwear. In the licensed Crabtree & Evelyn sleepwear collection, a crinkle cotton with a soft hand that had a plissé look was a key classification.
"The Anne Lewin line is all about at-homewear," said Lee. "We offered six months' worth of deliveries and a number of new fabrics. A shimmer knit of cotton and viscose was a big hit because of its comfort value and drapability. Overall, comfort and versatility were key factors at this market."
