Ethnic differences may affect the phenotypic expression of genetic disorders. However, data regarding the effect of ethnicity on outcome in patients with genetic cardiac disorders are limited. We compared the clinical course of Caucasian and Japanese long QT type-1 (LQT1) patients who were matched for mutations in the KCNQ1 gene.
The study population comprised 62 Caucasian and 38 Japanese LQT1 patients from the International LQTS Registry who were identified as having 6 identical KCNQ1 mutations. The biophysical function of the mutations was categorized into dominant-negative (>50%) or haploinsufficiency (≤50%) reduction in cardiac repolarizing IKs potassium channel current. The primary end point of the study was the occurrence of a first cardiac event from birth through age 40 years.
Japanese patients had a significantly higher cumulative rate of cardiac events (67%) than Caucasian patients (39%; p=0.01). The respective frequencies of dominant negative mutations in the 2 ethnic groups were 63% and 28% (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, Japanese patients had an 81% increase in the risk of cardiac events (p=0.06) as compared with Caucasians. However, when the biophysical function of the mutations was included in the multivariate model, the risk associated with Japanese ethnicity was no longer evident (HR=1.05; p=0.89). Harboring a dominant negative mutation was shown to be the most powerful and significant predictor of outcome (HR=3.78; p<0.001).
Our data indicate that ethnic differences in the clinical expression of LQTS can be attributed to the differences in frequencies of the specific mutations within the two populations.
The congenital Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is caused by mutations in nine defined genes that encode channels that regulate sodium, potassium, and calcium currents, and by mutations that affect trafficking of ion channels, resulting in prolonged ventricular repolarization and an increased risk for sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias.1-4 Mutations in the KCNQ1 gene, also known as KvLQT1, cause the more common long QT type-1 (LQT1) genotype by creating faulty alpha subunits that are part of the delayed rectifier repolarizing potassium (IKs) channel.5 LQT1 mutations are associated with 2 distinct biophysical mechanisms: (1) co-assembly or cellular trafficking defects of the mutant subunits that allow only normal, wild-type, subunits to be successfully transported to the cell membrane, resulting in reduced channel function by ≤ 50%; (haploinsufficiency); and (2) formation of defective channels involving mutant subunits with the altered channel protein transported to the cell membrane, resulting in a dysfunctional channel having >50% reduction in channel current (dominant-negative effect).6 We have recently shown that the degree of ion channel dysfunction caused by the mutations is a significant predictor of outcome in LQT1 patients.7
Studies reporting the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within different populations have shown that there is a large variability in the LQTS genes across countries and ethnic groups.8-15 However, the effect of ethnicity on the phenotypic expression of LQTS has not been studied. To assess possible mechanisms by which ethnicity influences the risk of cardiac events in LQTS patients, we compared the clinical course of Japanese and Caucasian LQT1 patients from the International LQTS Registry who shared identical mutations in the KCNQ1 gene.
Study patients were drawn from a population of 600 subjects with genetically confirmed KCNQ1 mutations derived from 101 proband-identified LQT1 families. Patients were enrolled in the U.S. portion of the International LQTS Registry (n=425), the Netherlands' LQTS Registry (n=93), and the Japanese LQTS Registry (n=82), ethnicity was self reported. In our comparison study, Caucasian subjects from the U.S. and Netherlands' LQTS Registries were matched with Japanese subjects harboring the same mutations. This analysis identified 6 identical LQT1 mutations in the 2 ethnic groups, resulting in a final study population of 100 patients (62 Caucasians and 38 Japanese). Patients with homozygous KCNQ1 mutations characteristic of the Jervell-Lange Nielsen syndrome, or with a second mutation in another LQTS ion-channel gene were excluded from the study. All subjects or their guardians provided informed consent for the genetic and clinical studies.
For each patient, data on personal and family history, cardiac events, and therapy were systematically recorded at each visit or medical contact on prospectively designed forms. Clinical data included patient and family history, demographics, electrocardiographic (ECG), therapeutic, and cardiac event information. Upon enrollment in the LQTS Registry, a 12-lead ECG was obtained from each patient. From this first recorded ECG, the duration of the QT interval was assessed from lead II (or lead I or III if the QT interval could not be measured from lead II) and corrected for heart rate (QTc) using Bazett's formula. Data common to all three LQTS registries involving genetically identified LQT1 patients were electronically merged into a common database.
The KCNQ1 mutations were identified using standard genetic tests performed in academic molecular-genetic laboratories. Genetic alterations of the amino acid sequence were characterized by location in the channel protein, the type of mutation (missense, splice site, in-frame insertions/deletions, nonsense [stop codon], and frameshift), and the biophysical functional effect of the mutation (dominant negative or haploinsufficiency; Table 1). The biophysical function was classified based on studies reported in literature;12,16-18 mutations that have not yet been characterized were assumed haploinsufficiency if identified as splice site, nonsense, in-frame deletion, or frame-shift mutations. The transmembrane region of the KCNQ1-encoded channel included 6 membrane-spanning segments [S1–S6], and was defined as the coding sequence involving amino acid residues from 120 through 355 (comprising two cytoplasmic loops between S2–S3 and S4–S5, and the S5-pore-S6 region), with the N-terminus region defined before residue 120, and the C-terminus region after residue 355.
The end point of the study was the first occurrence of an LQTS-related cardiac event (syncope, aborted cardiac arrest [ACA] or LQTS-related death). In the primary analysis we compared the outcome by ethnicity, with and without adjustment for biophysical function (e.g. dominant negative vs. haploinsufficiency). In a secondary exploratory analysis, the ethnic group comparison was further stratified by gender.
The clinical characteristics of Caucasian and Japanese subjects were compared using the chi-square test, and the Fisher's exact test, as appropriate. The Kaplan-Meier life-table method was used to assess the time to a first LQTS-related cardiac event and the cumulative event rates for each ethnic group and mutation-type. The results were compared using the log-rank statistic. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was carried out to determine the significant and independent contribution of each factor as a predictor for a first cardiac event during follow-up. Prespecified factors included gender, ethnicity, QTc interval duration >500 msec, the biophysical functional effect of the mutation (e.g. dominant negative vs. haploinsufficiency), and time-dependent β-blocker therapy. Data from the International LQTS Registry have shown that an implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is very effective in preventing fatal LQTS-related cardiac events.19 Therefore, to validate the consistency of the results the non-ICD population, all analyses were repeated with censoring of patients upon implantation of an ICD.
The statistical software used for the analyses was SAS version 9.13. A 2-sided probability value < 0.05 was used for declaring statistical significance.
Clinical and ECG characteristics of Caucasian and Japanese study patients are shown in Table 2A. Gender distribution and baseline QTc duration were similar between the two ethnic groups. However, when the baseline QTc was analyzed by gender, Japanese male patients exhibited a significantly longer QTc duration as compared with their Caucasian counterparts. β-blocker therapy was administered to a similar proportion of Japanese and Caucasian patients, whereas ICD implantation occurred only in Caucasian LQT1 subjects.
The two ethnic groups exhibited significant differences in the frequencies of individual mutations (Table 1) and their biophysical functional effects, with the higher-risk dominant negative mutations being significantly more frequent among Japanese patients than among Caucasians (Table 2A).
A comparison of the frequency of cardiac events experienced between the two populations revealed a higher event rate among Japanese patients (Table 2B). Notably, the frequency of presentation with ACA as a first cardiac event was significantly higher in Japanese patients as compared with Caucasians. Accordingly, the cumulative probability of a first cardiac event from birth through age 40 years was significantly higher among Japanese patients (67%) than among Caucasians (39%, p = 0.007; Fig. 1). Furthermore, cardiac events occurred at a significantly earlier age in the former ethnic group. Thus, at age 10 years Japanese and Caucasians exhibited a respective cardiac event rate of 43% and 18% (Fig. 1).
Comparison of event rates for the individual mutations showed a lower rate for mutations resulting in haploinsufficiency (G269S, A344A/sp, and delF340), and an increasing event rate for mutations with dominant negative ion current effects (R243C, G314S, and A341V; Fig. 2). Accordingly, dominant negative mutation carriers exhibited a significantly greater probability of a first cardiac event than those with haploinsufficiency (Fig. 3), and this finding was consistent in both the Japanese (82% vs. 38%, respectively; p=0.001) and Caucasian (71% vs. 29%, respectively; p=0.001) groups.
Cox proportional hazards regression modeling demonstrated that Japanese ethnicity was associated with a marginally significant 81% increase in the risk of cardiac events as compared to Caucasian ethnicity, after adjustment for gender, QTc duration, and time-dependent β-blocker therapy (Table 3A). However, the risk associated with ethnicity was no longer evident when the biophysical functional effect of the mutation was added to the multivariate model (Table 3B). In this model a dominant negative mutation effect was shown to be the most powerful and significant predictor of outcome in study patients, and was associated with nearly a 4-fold increase in the risk of cardiac events during follow-up. The risk associated with dominant negative mutations was consistent for both Japanese and Caucasian patients (p-value for ethnicity × mutation effect interaction = 0.54).
We have previously shown that in LQT1 patients the risk of cardiac events is affected by age and gender.20 We have therefore carried out a further exploratory analysis, in which the clinical course of males and females was compared and related to the biophysical functional effect of the mutations in the 2 ethnic groups. Overall, gender did not contribute significantly to outcome in study patients after adjustment for ethnicity or mutation effect (Tables 3A and B, respectively). However, when gender was related to the biophysical functional effect of the LQT1 mutations, dominant negative mutations were shown to exhibit a different gender effect in the 2 ethnic groups. The risk of cardiac events among Japanese males with dominant negative mutations was significantly higher than among Japanese females with the same mutations (HR = 3.46 [95% CI 1.06 − 11.27]; p = 0.03), whereas male and female Caucasians with dominant negative mutations exhibited a similar risk of cardiac events during follow-up (HR = 0.79 [95% CI 0.13 − 4.65]; p = 0.80).
In the present study we sought to explore the extent of phenotypic variation that occurs across two ethnic groups that possess the same LQT1 mutations. Our findings suggest that the clinical severity of LQTS in different ethnic groups is largely determined by the frequency distribution of the LQT1 mutations in the population.
Genotype-phenotype relationships and risk factors for cardiac events in LQTS patients have been the topic of much investigation.20-25 However, previous studies that have analyzed the variability in disease expression and phenotype severity did not assess the effect of ethnicity on outcome in LQTS patients. Modifier genes and/or environmental factors may differ among ethnic groups and may explain why a given genotype confers variable susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias in different ethnic groups. Thus, the identification of risk factors among LQTS populations with similar mutations may be important for risk-stratification in this genetic disorder. Ethnic-specific polymorphisms on the LQTS-related genes have been described in previous reports.8-15,25-27 Notably, Ackerman et al.8 studied 744 healthy black, white, Asian and Hispanic subjects and reported 49 distinct amino acid-altering variants of four LQTS-related potassium channel genes. These findings reflect the genetic diversity that may be a source of phenotype variation among different ethnic populations.
The evidence that certain polymorphisms on the KCNQ1 gene may increase susceptibility to cardiac events has given credence to the concept of modifier genes. Kubota et al.13 identified six patients that exhibited mild signs of LQTS as carriers of the G643S polymorphism, which is found in approximately 11% of the Japanese population. Through patch-clamp tests, it was found that this polymorphism, co-expressed with wild-type KCNQ1 and KCNE1, conferred approximately a 30% reduction in current. This same polymorphism has also been associated with QT intervals that vary with gender and age in Japanese subjects.26 In addition, ethnic-specific SNPs have been recognized as important in the correct diagnosis and clinical management of LQTS suspected patients. In one report, a previously established KCNQ1 mutation, P488R, was found to be a common polymorphism in 14% of healthy Chinese volunteers after a healthy child of a proband was mistakenly diagnosed with LQTS while his undiagnosed brother was later found to have a novel HERG mutation.27 Therefore, diagnosis based on genotyping requires correct discrimination of genetic polymorphisms from pathologic mutations, which may be confounded by ethnic genetic variability.
It has been previously suggested that the observed phenotypic differences between Caucasian and Japanese LQTS patients may be attributed to the effect of ethnic-specific common polymorphisms.25 Evidence from the current study suggests that the clinical course of individual patients is dependent on the biophysical function of their mutations and is independent of ethnic origin. Japanese patients possessed a larger proportion of dominant negative mutations that are powerful and significant predictors of outcome in both ethnic groups, whereas the frequency of the lower-risk, haploinsufficiency mutations, was significantly higher among Caucasians. Accordingly, the risk of cardiac events among the Japanese patients was higher than among the Caucasians patients without adjustment for mutation effect, whereas a similar ethnic risk was shown when the biophysical functional effect of the mutations was incorporated into the multivariate model.
Notably, 42% of Japanese patients harbored the dominant negative A341V mutation compared with only 6% of Caucasian patients. The A341V mutation has been associated with a severe clinical course and early onset disease.12 Consistently, in the current study we have shown that Japanese and Caucasian patients who carried the A341V mutation experienced the highest rate of cardiac events, and at an earlier age, compared to the other 5 shared mutations (Fig. 2). Eighty percent of the patients who were identified as carriers of the A341V mutation had a cardiac event prior to age 20 years. Therefore, our findings suggest that identification of the functional effect of KCNQ1 mutations should comprise a primary component in the risk stratification and clinical management of LQT1 patients, regardless of their ethnic origin.
A previous study from the International LQTS Registry demonstrated an age-gender interaction in LQT1 patients, in which the risk of cardiac events is higher in males than females before adolescence, with risk-reversal in the post-adolescence period.20 Possibly due to sample size limitations, we did not show an age-gender interaction in the 2 ethnic groups in the current study population. However, our secondary exploratory analysis suggests a possible gender-related difference in the functional effect of LQT1 mutation between the 2 ethnic groups. Japanese males who possessed dominant negative mutations had a significantly higher risk of cardiac events than Japanese females with the same mutations, whereas the effect of the dominant negative mutations did not show a significant gender-related difference in the Caucasian population. These findings may be due to the fact that Japanese patients with dominant negative mutations experienced a relatively high rate of cardiac events during childhood, a time-period that has been shown to be associated with a higher risk among LQT1 males.20 It is also possible that modifier genes affect gender differences in risk in the 2 ethnic groups.
The Japanese, U.S., and the Netherlands' LQTS Registries have similar enrollment criteria. However, it is possible that higher risk patients were preferentially enrolled in the Japanese registry, leading to an unbalanced mutation distribution in the two ethnic groups. Therefore, the frequencies of individual KCNQ1 mutations in different ethnic groups need to be further assessed in large population studies. Nevertheless, our findings suggest that the risk associated with the biophysical function of a mutation in an individual is more important than the risk associated with his/her ethnic origin.
The findings regarding gender differences in the risk between the two ethnic groups should be regarded as secondary and preliminary due to sample size limitations, and therefore need to be further validated in future studies.
The growing data regarding identification of gene defects in congenital LQTS has revolutionized our understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying QT prolongation and cardiac arrhythmias, and raises the possibility of mutation-specific therapeutic intervention. The LQT1 genotype accounts for approximately 50% of genotyped LQTS patients, and has shown to be associated with variable clinical expression, incomplete penetrance,1 and ethnic-specific phenotypic variation.25 Our findings suggest that, regardless of ethnic origin, risk-assessment in LQT1 patients should consider the biophysical functional effect of the mutation in an individual as an important determinant of outcome.

The room in this hotel was spacious and immaculate. We had a room with two queen beds and there was a separate sitting area with a pull out couch and chair. We felt we could gather within one our our rooms and have a family meeting.
It would have been nice if there was a second tv by the couch.

BRUSSELS The European Commission has approved Suntory Holdings' $13.6 billion purchase of U.S. peer Beam Inc BEAM.N, making the Japanese company the world's third-largest spirits producer.
The deal brings together Beam's brands including Jim Beam bourbon with Suntory's Japanese whiskies and its Bowmore Scotch whisky.
"The Commission concluded that the transaction would not raise competition concerns," the EU executive said on Tuesday.
Reuters reported on April 7 that the deal would go ahead.
Suntory SUNTH.UL, which generates more than 90 percent of its business in Japan, is seeking overseas growth to offset the shrinking domestic market as the population ages. Beam is the No. 4 premium spirits company in the world.
The deal will boost Suntory's share of the U.S. market to 11 percent from less than 1 percent and give it access to a stronger distribution network in key emerging markets like India, Russia and Brazil.

Procrastination is a funny thing.
We look down on it, feel guilty about it and get anxious when we catch ourselves doing it sometimes.
One of the biggest stressors in life is an unfinished task, regardless of size. When we have that thing that keeps getting pushed off one more day it nags at us, like water torture.
But the reality is—there are two huge lessons we can learn when we procrastinate.
1. The thing we are avoiding is something we don't really want to do.
2. The thing we are doing instead might reveal what we are truly passionate about.
Sometimes we say yes to things we don't really want to do out of feelings of obligation or necessity. Obviously, as adults there are things we need to do that we aren't excited about. I am probably never going to be gripped with sudden passion about doing my laundry, but I like clean clothes so…you get the idea.
But if we find ourselves constantly avoiding our work, avoiding certain people or places in our lives, chances are we paying a lip service "yes" to something that is actually a "no." If you are passionate about something, you don't have to talk yourself into thinking about it or spending time on it. You can't stop yourself. It's what drives you.
For many innovative, creative, game changing and world changing people, school was not where they found their passion. It wasn't the first thing they tried. It wasn't doing the expected thing. It was the thing that crept in unexpectedly. It was the thing that that they just couldn't ignore. It was the dream that wouldn't leave them alone.
Take a look at what you're doing when you procrastinate. What's the thing you can't stop thinking about? For most people, the path to creative and fulfilling success in life isn't some linear, obstacle-free path. It's usually more like this:

So, where is your mind wandering? Take a step back and look at your time "wasting" on social media pages—what patterns do you see? What are you dreaming about? Who can't you stop thinking about? Where is your heart headed?
We can learn from our procrastinating and mind wandering, and if we pay attention, it can reveal what we are truly passionate about.

Can't wait until this election is over.
I keep getting asked, "Who I'm voting for in this election?"
The proper question should be "What set you claiming?"
When did voters actually start getting gangsta.
How can you have HATRED for an opposing view?
Some of these gang members wear suits, and others wear Suspenders.
Either way these gang bangers are still apart of the gang violence.
This violence divides people at work, hair salons, and even at the local whore houses.
Are we suppose to wear a red or blue bandana in our back pocket?
Is there a secret hand shake?
Can we also wear the opposing sets colors when we vote? I am not trying to get shot…
Yeah, its' pretty stupid to HATE any group for their ideologies.
Of course, it is ok to HATE "FOX News", or the "KKK" (same affiliation).
People have argued, lost friendships and angered innocent people because of this gang violence.
Democrats and Republicans must stop the violence and we come together as strong men and women to "Make America Great Again" and women unification is key!
We must strive to be strong black women like Melania Trump…
In our society if you are single on Valentine's Day, you are a failure according to the diamond companies, Hallmark and commercialism of Valentine's Day. If you do not receive an abundance of materialistic presents on Christmas, then you may feel inclined to lie about everything you received. More gifts, means you have more loved? People assume that after a funeral that you are gone. In the casket, it is a shell of that person and even though you may not be able to hug or talk to them, they are not spiritually gone. Your spirit and energy doesn't die, just the shell of your former self, you still have that person and you can feel when their is an indication that your loved one is still loving you, looking over and protecting you.
It was a story of a man that entered a home and was about to burglarize and assault a woman but he ran away. The police did eventually located the fleeing burglar, but asked him, "Why did you run?" He told the police,"Because of those two men standing behind her." Later they asked the lady about the two men that were there and she was puzzled because she was by herself the entire day. NO ONE was there,or so she thought…
We don't leave this world, and you can be confident in knowing what ever you believe about the spiritual world,realize people can share connections even if they never have met. If energy doesn't die, and the spirit doesn't die then your loved ones are still here in spirit. NO, not like a ghost town or anything like that, but a spirit that will give you strength when you feel you are alone.
You can feel their energy hovering around you and just understand that you will behold their smile again and you will have a opportunity to hear them laugh again. They are fully aware of your bereavement, but they are no longer in anguish and unrest, we are the ones that suffer,now.
If the connection is that strong you know that their presence is not far behind you and you can feel their love around you. You may be devastated in this point of time, but their spirit is dancing in the moonlight, so just try to dry some of those tears and don't hold on to blame, mistrust, or arguments that were never resolved. They are still here,even if you don't recognize your loved ones presence they are still smiling back at you.
When Amy Winehouse graced the world with her "Blue Eyed Soul" she had the world captivated. Amy had her own style and a distinct voice that could easily rival any of our jazz greats. She was loved by millions and had the world at her feet. She came into the Music business with a sense of purpose, and an innovative way to reinvent soul, and transform it into her unique adaptation that no one could duplicate. She changed perception of music in terms of infusing reggae, soul, and jazz in her recordings. Amy Winehouse was compared to Dusty Springfield and even Billie Holiday. Why did we lose her?
Amy Jade, left all her talent and life behind after only walking the Earth for 27 years. Now she is a member of infamous 27 Club she will be one of those "what if they would have lived?" conversations for years to come.
When Amy married Blake Felder -Civil her appearance and behavior became a circus in itself. The couple would fight and walk around the street with bruises and would even cause disruption on prison visits,and they had to search her Signature Beehive for contraband.
As her popularity grew her financial and professional life took a back seat and she began to concentrate on her social life instead of talent. Later rapid rumors of drug and alcohol abuse were later confirmed. Amy was seen on drugs and alcohol on various forms of video and pictures. The reporters of the publication "Sun" printed a damaging video of Amy smoking Crack Cocaine on film. Sadly one of her own peers sold the footage to the tabloid.
Amy Winehouse was an attractive girl who later lost teeth,weight,and her own voice began to diminish, due to her lifestyle. Her legal problems and show performances suffered because of her addiction, and she wasn't allowed in the United States to attend a performance, because of her reputation and legal problems. Some of her live performances were down right embarrassing, but Amy wanted to prove to the world she was still a singer. Her fans kept waiting for her to make the ultimate comeback and silence all the negativity in her personal life.
Amy Winehouse made her comeback, or so we thought during this time. Sadly, her physical and personal life still controlled every fiber in her being. Of course it effected her voice, and her comeback was ridiculed and she went into a deeper alcoholic and drug related self medicated process. Amy looked confused and intoxicated at every performance in her last days. We kept waiting for her to come back, but she never was able to shake off those demons. What could have happened? Who would Amy Winehouse be today, if she could have been sober and demon free?
Now the world will have to wonder what could have been for the Deceased Lioness, known as Amy Jade Winehouse?
Here is the documentary.
We live in a world where you can get chose and purchased slavery?
You go out stand in a room, like a ghetto beauty pageant. You want to be chose, by someone who will not do anything but give you temporary gratification. I wrote this story in 2013. I was a strong woman then, and I am 15 times stronger now.
You can't even think, that you worth a damn.It is sad now, people have sex but don't kiss. When did sex become a business transaction that sold your self worth?People kiss their puppies in the mouth. People open up a bag of chips with their mouth, but won't kiss you. That is degrading, and you are dumb as hell!
If someone won't kiss you but will screw you, they think you are trash.
Actually, they think you walk on 4 legs and not 2.
You know you want more. Stand up for yourself !
When you stop accepting dumb situations, only then, will it stop happening!
You make it harder for feminist women or any woman to stand strong!
Close Your Legs until he or she,deserves you!
Pick up some loyalty and self worth!
Please, reevaluate your life!

Bankrate.com's Financial Security Index rocketed to a new high this month, climbing to 102.7. Any reading over 100 indicates improved financial security compared to the previous year, and this is the fourth consecutive month that consumers have noted improved financial security. Specifically, consumers feel more secure in their jobs, more comfortable with their debt, report higher net worth and say their overall financial situations are better.
Those feeling more secure in their jobs outnumber those feeling less secure by a 2-to-1 margin. Only 17 percent report lower net worth than last year -- a new low -- and just 1-in-5 Americans feels their overall financial situation is worse now than one year ago, tying the lowest reading.
But it wasn't all good news, as Americans continue to express discomfort with their level of savings, with those less comfortable outnumbering those more comfortable by nearly 2-to-1. And it's no wonder, looking at the lack of progress Americans have made in establishing an adequate savings cushion. Just 24 percent of Americans have enough savings to cover at least six months' expenses, virtually unchanged compared to 2011 and 2012. At the other end of the spectrum are the 27 percent of Americans that have no emergency savings whatsoever, further highlighting how little progress Americans have made in moving the needle of emergency savings.

Canterbury, fire station
We visit Canterbury often as our son lives there, we've stayed in many different places and this is one of our favourites. Great location and very spacious house, warm and comfortable. Sometimes there's more of us so in that circumstance we would not be able to stay as the sofa bed is in the bedroom and would not be convenient for couples. Very friendly owner, very helpful. Would definitely recommend the property to others.

TV on DVD Round Up, Oct. 8, 2009: 'Primeval,' 'Life on Mars,' 'Mister Ed'
CHICAGO – The Round-Up returns with a special TV on DVD edition of our regular, informational column. Why is it special? Because this is the most diverse collection of TV that the Round-Up staff has ever seen. From classics like "Mister Ed" to recent shows like "Life on Mars," this edition truly has something for everyone. And something remarkable for "Spongebob Squarepants" fans.
"Primeval: Volume Two" was released on September 15th, 2009.
"Brotherhood: The Final Season" and "Spongebob Squarepants: The First 100 Episodes" were released on September 22nd, 2009.
"Life on Mars: The Complete Series" and "The Patty Duke Show: Season One" were released on September 29th, 2009.
"Mister Ed: Season One" was released on October 6th, 2009.
"Brotherhood: The Final Season"
Synopsis: "This 2-Disc set includes all 8 dramatic final season episode of this critically acclaimed, superbly acted and explosive blue-collar drama. Will Tommy live up to his promise to leave The Hill? Or will Michael's transgressions finally lead to their undoing? Can the Caffee family survive….or have they finally gone too far?"
"Brotherhood" stars Jason Isaacs, Jason Clarke, Annabeth Gish, Ethan Embry, Kevin Chapman, Fiona Erickson, Brian F. O'Byrne, and Fionnula Flanagan. It was created by Blake Masters. The show is presented on two discs and runs 426 minutes. It is presented in its original 16:9 aspect ratio and accompanied by an English 5.1 Surround and Spanish mono track.
Sadly, there are no special features on the final season of "Brotherhood". It's a shame to watch a series that once showed so much potential to be a major part of the Showtime lineup go out with such a lackluster release.
"Life on Mars: The Complete Series"
Synopsis: "Immerse yourself in the groundbreaking series that captivated fans and critics from coast to coast. With an irresistible soundtrack and one of the most celebrated casts on television, including Jason O'Mara, Michael Imperioli, Gretchen Mol and Harvey Keitel, Life On Mars is smart, suspenseful drama with a finish that will blow you away. "It's one of those endings I believe will make you watch the series again," says Executive Producer Josh Appelbaum.
There's a fine line between delusion and reality. NYPD detective Sam Tyler finds himself walking both sides of that line when he is suddenly hurtled back in time to 1973 after being struck by a car in 2008.
Journey back to the '70s and uncover the secrets of Life On Mars. It's a "strange and exhilarating ride" raves The New York Times. Plus, with unique and exciting bonus features — including an insider's view of where the show's concept began, a six-million dollar moment in which '70s legend Lee Majors steps back into the past with the cast and crew, and much more — Life On Mars is unforgettable on DVD!"
"Life on Mars" stars Jason O'Mara, Michael Imperioli, Gretchen Mol, and Harvey Keitel. The show is presented on four discs and runs 731 minutes. It is presented in its original 1.78:1 widescreen aspect ratio and accompanied by an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound track.

Go Blue? The Battle of Chavez Ravine
Chavez Ravine is the current site of Dodger Stadium, a Major League Baseball stadium in Los Angeles, California where the Los Angeles Dodgers play. Chavez Ravine was named for Julian Chavez, a Los Angeles councilman in the 19th century.
The above film, Chavez Ravine: A Los Angeles Story, is a PBS documentary telling the story of how Dodger Stadium came to be. The film shows how this Mexican American community was destroyed by greed, political hypocrisy and good intentions gone awry. During the early 1950s, the city of Los Angeles forcefully evicted the 300 families of Chavez Ravine to make way for a low-income public housing project. The land was cleared and the homes, schools and the church were razed. But instead of building the promised housing, the city sold the land to Brooklyn Dodgers baseball owner Walter O'Malley, who built Dodger Stadium on the site. The residents of Chavez Ravine, who had been promised first pick of the apartments in the proposed housing project, were given no reimbursement for their destroyed property and forced to scramble for housing elsewhere.
Fifty years later, filmmaker Jordan Mechner explores what happened, interviewing many of the former residents of Chavez Ravine as well as some of the officials who oversaw the destruction of the community. Narrated by Cheech Marin and scored by Ry Cooder and Lalo Guerrero, CHAVEZ RAVINE combines contemporary interviews with archival footage and Normark's haunting black-and-white photographs to reclaim and celebrate a beloved community of the past.

Glenn Beck: Coke Super Bowl Commercial Pro-Immigration, Divisive
Some people only watch the Super Bowl for the halftime show (viewers seemed to love or hate the Katy Perry robotic, shark-infested, post-modern extravaganza) and the glitzy new commercials. (I must say that I could not tell what most of the commercials were selling.). The Coca Cola commercial raised the ire of none other than Glenn Beck, who saw the commercial as divisive and promoting immigration. While I may have missed something, the ad seemed to me to promote tolerance and inclusiveness.

Super Sunday? Super Bowl Helps Arizona Adopt More Friendly Image, But Immigrants Say They Are Still Targeted
It is finally game day and the Super Bowl will be played in a matter of hours. And it will be played on a warm winter day in Arizona, which has seen a fair amount of ferment over the years on the issue of immigration. The state's S.B. 1070, a tough immigration enforcement measure, made the national news and was struck down in large part by the Supreme Court in Arizona v. United States.
The International Business Tribune reports that, with the Super Bowl in town, new Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey met with more than 70 CEOs this week hoping to lure new investors to a state that has struggled financially for years because of a global boycott triggered by tough immigration policies. Ducey took office in January succeeding Jan Brewer, who was for many the face of Arizona's anti-immigrant movement.
In contrast, community activists opposed to the state's many anti-immigrant measures, however, said life in Arizona remains difficult for Latinos, who are often targeted by conservative lawmakers and law enforcement officials. Tensions between conservative white residents and Hispanic voters is being whitewashed during the Super Bowl to impress visitors and potential investors, the activists said. "By hosting the Super Bowl here, people think everything is fine now and everything is beautiful, but the reality is Arizona is one of the most anti-immigrant states in the union and that hasn't changed," said Salvador Reza, who was born in Mexico but has lived in Arizona for 22 years. "We still feel it every day."

Sheriff Arpaio Seeks to Settle Contempt Case, Announces Run for Seventh Term
Jude Joffe-Block reports the latest on Maricopa County Sheriff (Arizona) Joe Arpaio's legal saga in Melendres v. Arpaio, a case in which a federal district court in 2013 found that Arpaio's Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MSCO) had engaged in a pattern and practice of discriminating against Latinos in its law enforcement activities.
District Judge Murray Snow is expected to soon order a hearing to decide whether Sheriff Arpaio should be held in contempt for violating court orders. Lawyers for the sheriff are asking to settle the charges.
In finding that the MSCO had violated the rights of Latinos in Maricopa County, the court ordered sweeping changes at the department, and appointed a monitor to oversee compliance. In recent months Judge Snow has expressed concern that the sheriff's office has seemingly violated several court orders and, earlier this month, he tentatively set aside four days in April to hold a possible civil hearing to find out if Arpaio and his commanders should be found in contempt of court.
On Friday, lawyers for the sheriff asked Judge Snow for a settlement meeting. The motion for a settlement conference was filed on the same day that Arpaio sent an e-mail to supporters announcing his plans to run for re-election in 2016, which would be the seventh term for the 82 year old sheriff.
For what it is worth, Sheriff Arpaio reportedly has predicted that the New England Patriots will win the Super Bowl, which will be played today in Glendale, Arizona, near Phoenix.

Growing up in the soccer-is-a-way-of-life culture in Cameroon, Moute a Bidias immersed himself in the sport. But as he became taller, he told himself he should at least give basketball a try. He moved to the United States for high school and excelled, ultimately earning a scholarship to play at Cal.

Abbott Labs Reports an 11% Rise in Profits
Published: April 10, 1997
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., April 9— Abbott Laboratories, the pharmaceutical giant, said today that its profits rose 11 percent in the first quarter, helped by its purchase of a maker of blood-testing services and by strong drug sales.
Net income rose to $535 million, or 69 cents a share, from $480 million, or 61 cents a share, a year earlier.
Sales increased to $3 billion from $2.7 billion.
The earnings matched analysts' expectations. Abbott stock fell $1, to $55.50.
In August, Abbott completed its acquisition of Medisense, a maker of blood-monitoring systems, such as those that gauge the level of glucose in diabetics' blood.
''Our revenue growth continues to reflect the positive impact of the successful integration of the Medi-sense acquisition and Abbott's entry into the contrast imaging market,'' Duane L. Burnham, chairman and chief executive, said.
Contrast imaging requires that a patient drink or be injected with a substance that makes it easier for doctors to read ultrasounds and other diagnostic tests.
Abbott is based in Abbott Park, Ill.
Table: ''Abbott Laboratories (ABT,N)'' Qtr. to Mar. 31 1997 1996 %Ch Sales 2,999,814,000 2,672,177,000 +12.3 Net inc. 534,826,000 480,109,000 +11.4 Sh. earn .69 .61 Sh. out. 773,983,000 785,836,000 Sales are worldwide net sales.

Manufacturer Splash Bath
Like the butterfly which begins it's life in a cocoon before bursting out into the world we too start our day in a cocoon of sorts as we seal ourselves off from the outside world for a thorough cleansing which transforms us from a cranky hot wormy mess into a pinnacle of earthly creation. Newly reborn, poised and ready to take flight across the world.
Let your imagination take flight on the fluttering wings of the copper coloured beauties adorning this shower curtain. No insect symbolises peace and beauty quite like the butterfly. The gentleness of these winged wonders brings a measure of weightlessness to any room.
The mere sight of this mass of butterflies in flight each morning will ignite your senses and kickstart you mind into action. They will also remind you that gentility is just as important as action as you make your way through life. We wonder at the achievement of the butterfly as it transforms itself from the lowly caterpillar of its youth into the high flying jewel of the sky. But we are also in awe of its vulnerable gentility in light of all the challenges it must face throughout its life in the wild. Yet it somehow manages to succeed and excel in spite of this apparent disadvantage. But we may have misunderstood this gentility. Perhaps that is it's greatest strength. One wonders, as the butterfly gently and helplessly makes its way through the world, if the entire animal kingdom itself does not bow down in the face of its magnificent splendour. Might we learn that grace and beauty can be just as effective as might and force in the world? Another question to ponder perhaps during bath time.
This Tim Burton-esque shower curtain design imparts a fairytale-like atmosphere to your bath space. The intricately detailed branches of a deciduous tree in winter are offset by an earthy minimal two-tone color palette.
