to give a head coaching job to JKidd. Heck, but what do I know?
Still too early to tell. Especially with that make up of a roster, I could see anybody having a rough beginning (lack of chemistry, so many alphas, etc.). Don't they also have some injury issues?

Lawrence Frank looked like the head coach against the Pacers, Kidd looked like a deer in the headlights.
Don't want to poop on Kidd's potential coaching ability but during our game he was like "hey what am I supposed to here Lawrence?"This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You guys forget Larry Bird started out 2-5 when he first started coaching and JKidd is in a worse situation, because of injuries.
Buncha pieces thrown together; I expected them to go through something similar to what we did last year. Were people really expecting them to be a winning team right off the bat?
That soup's gonna need a long time to cook.
This space for rent.
Bird also walked into a team that was pretty solid with their identity, and the key pieces had played a long time with each other. Kidd is trying to put together a bunch of old, broken pieces.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Jason Kidd can do or not do anything he wants. Nothing can stop him on his way to a championship. It's what he was put on earth to do.

"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
I feel bad for Kidd but he chose this and I do think he was a bad choice for a group of ball dominate vets. I don't feel bad for the Nets. To me seeing the Nets struggle is a feel good story. I hate seeing one team try to buy a title and have an unfair advantage over everyone else. If they won a title by going this route I think it would be bad for the game. The new cba might cost us a player next year but so far I like the direction it's taking the game, if the Nets were successful in this it would undermine that.
I think it's good for the game to see L.A. take it's turn going down after having everything handed to them for so long. I hope they stay down or at best mediocre for a long time
The Jason Kidd hiring was nothing more than a publicity stunt for an attention whoring owner. The Nets' entire off-season strategy for the past two years is to grab as many "big name" guys as possible. Joe Johnson, KG, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry are all former all-stars well past their primes, and it was obvious this strategy wasn't going to work. Apparently their HC position was not exempt from this strategy. This goes to show that unless you get Lebron James, you cannot take short cuts building a contender. The Pacers blueprint is the best way to build a team: get lucky in the draft, and spend your FA money wisely on guys who may not have the "big names"
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Kidd was certainly a dominate PG himself. He could dominant games on occasion...but yes I agree. He is not a dominate coach.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

July 27, 2010 Future Shock BlogMinor League Update: Games of July 26
Oswaldo Arcia, OF, Twins(Rookie-level Elizabethton): 2-for-4, HR (10), R, RBI To say Arcia is having a good U.S. debut is understating things just a bit, as the 19-year-old Venezuelan is batting a ridiculous .394/.447/.781 in 34 Appy League games. He's not your typical Latin American outfielder with length, athleticism and projection, he's more of a stocky type with a short, direct path to the ball and plenty of leverage in his swing. Destined for a corner outfielder spot (he has enough arm for right), he needs to be a hitting machine, and so far, he's just that. Adeiny Hechavarria, SS, Blue Jays(Double-A New Hampshire): 3-for-5, HR (1), 2 R, RBI Must of Hechavarria's debut has been filled with scouting reports praising his top-level defensive skills while wondering if he'll hit. Scouts saw easily correctable flaws in his approach and swing, and those corrections are starting to take ship, as the 21-year-old Cuban has put together an 11-game hitting streak to raise his Eastern League line to .310/.339/.440. Suddenly being blocked by Yunel Escobar could be a blessing in disguise, as it prevents Toronto from rushing Hechavarria. Shelby Miller, RHP, Cardinals(Low-A Quad Cities): 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K There's no question that Miller is ending the year on a high note, as he's pitched scoreless baseball in four of his last five outings with striking out 34 over 25 innings during that time. Last night's outing represented a career high in innings for him, and he's been consistently touching 98 mph with one of the easiest deliveries you'll find at the lower levels. He remains the best prospect in the Cardinals system by a distance measured in miles. Others Of Note:

Mike Glennon is a million miles away from Luck and Roethlisberger when they were coming out of college, he's even a million miles away from how Flacco looked coming out of DELAWARE, which was pretty raw. I really don't know about Glennon.

Mike Glennon is a million miles away from Luck and Roethlisberger when they were coming out of college, he's even a million miles away from how Flacco looked coming out of DELAWARE, which was pretty raw. I really don't know about Glennon.
I wouldn't do it, which is why I didn't but teams have gotten nuts when it comes to reaching for quarterbacks in recent years. The Senior Bowl pushed Glennon way up. If he then has a good Combine the Cards or the Bills are going to pick him. Both those teams have a QB who can start while they work on getting him ready for the NFL.
The Cards owner was saying before they hired Arians that he wanted a head coach that could salvage Kolb's career. A lot could change between now and then but it would seem that would take them out of the QB game as far as an early pick.
I agree with this line of thought (sort of), their mindset should be drafting a stud offensive tackle with their first pick (unless Fisher is also gone), and then see if there's a guy they like at qb early in the second (to push Kolb or whoever they choose to keep around).
What do you guys think about this year's qb class anyway? is it really as bad as advertised?
Can we have a summary of who's been taking thus far after every pick?
If that's not too much to ask. ;) :p
I personally think it's worse then advertised. I don't see a first rounder in the bunch, and highly doubt we see a long term starting QB that end up being even average.
Here is a summary so far anyway.
First round-
1. Kansas City Chiefs- Geno Smith, Quarterback, West Virginia. (GM: Actualspambot)
2. Jacksonville Jaguars- Damontre Moore, Defensive end, Texas A&M (GM: Carey)
3. Oakland Raiders- Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah (GM: Ngata_Ate_My_Lunch)
4. Philadelphia Eagles- Luke Joekel, OT, Texas A&M(GM: CodyPKA)
5. Detroit Lions- DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama (GM: CodyPKA)
6. Cleveland Browns- Ezekial Ansah, DE, BYU (GM: S.r.genovese)
7. Arizona Cardinals- Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan (GM: GOTA)
8. Buffalo Bills- (Irish raven)
9. New York Jets- (Londonraven)
10. Tennessee Titans- (B Murph)
11. San Diego Chargers- (Ctulb)
12. Miami Dolphins- (Iggy)
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- (Ravenous)
14. Carolina Panthers- (NCRAVEN)
15. New Orleans Saints- (Carey)
16. St. Louis Rams- (Leachisabeast)
17. Pittsburgh Steelers- (Wickedsolo)
18. Dallas Cowboys- (Runrayrun27)
19. New York Giants- (Bigplayreceiver
20. Chicago Bears- (Wickedsolo)
21. Cincinnati Bengals- (Jaydee414)
22. St. Louis Rams (From Washington)- (Leachisabeast)
23. Minnesota Vikings- (Inexplicable)
24. Indianapolis Colts- (Jonboy)
25. Seattle Seahawks- (Dan Featherman)
26. Green Bay Packers- (Admartian)

Hence, Reese and Mila and Nicky and Renee were all representing - in their shopping best.Getty describes her as "designer Nicky Hilton." I describe her dress as "70s baby blanket." Last night I went to a thing and I thought it would be a really good idea to not wear my glasses, like being half-blind would be my "thing." Maybe "Producer/ TV Personality Kara DioGuardi" had the same scheme. It worked out for approximately neither of us. I hope her zipper didn't stick so a drag queen had to pull it up. Because that would make one of us. Mila Kunis: in the fold. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Renee Zellweger looks like the prow of a ship. Reese Witherspoon channels autumn bridesmaid. I'm seeing one of those pricey Dutch tulip bouquets. Kris Jenner, in some kind of screwball-comedy dizzy matron getup. Which is, you must admit, apt. Maggie Grace: a wrinkle in time.

I am open to any idea, short of duct tape and Valium, which will get my children to stay in bed after I call "lights out."
I've tried everything -- begging, bribing, threatening- all to the same end. I've even read books the experts recommend and set up a bedtime routine. You name it.
Nothing works.
And, I'm really getting desperate.
My motivation is completely selfish. By completely, I mean 100 percent.
Yes, I know children need a good night sleep -- school performance can suffer, their attitudes can suffer, memory and retention can suffer. Blah, blah, blah.
I'll be more concerned about those things when they don't follow three hours of school with a hearty lunch and a two-hour nap.
Right now, I'm concerned about my own mental health.
I need "me" time. I need moments of silence. I need time to sneak the snack I wouldn't allow them to have.
I need a bath.
That's really the crux of the situation. Showers aren't easy, nor are they safe when you've got a broken foot. So, I'm relegated to baths. I have two shots at a bath -- I can take one before the girls go to bed, which means a family bath, or I can take one after they go to bed. With my girls' recent sleeping habits, that means about 11 p.m. An 11 p.m. bath means I'm safe from falling, but not from drowning in my sleep.
Needless to say, that means a lot of family baths.
That's not very productive.
All the girls want to do in the tub is play doctor. Evidently all it takes to become a surgeon is a washcloth, a wagon and a toy that has long hair.
Looking straight into my eyes with her nose nearly touching mine, 4-year-old Nikki says "It OK, mommy. It will be all better."
"It" happens to be my shoulder that wasn't good in the first place.
She smoothes the washcloth over my shoulder and uses the wagon to pour water on top of that. Then, she pulls it off (fast like a Band-Aid) and brushes the "wound" with doll hair.
"See, mom, din't hurt."
Same process with my elbows, hands and knees. I'm healed in less time than it takes to shave.
Speaking of shaving -- that's something they also want to participate in, too. They can draw pictures in the shaving cream, but that's where I draw the line. No way in this lifetime will I let them handle the razor. Not on my legs, at least, and definitely not when their idea of a cure-all is dirty water and green mermaid hair.
Are you seeing my dilemma here?
It all hinges on who's adhering to bedtime. And in my house, that's no one.
The girls don't seem to be suffering, but I am certainly showing signs of sleep-deprivation.
OK, I lied. I am open to suggestions that involve duct tape and Valium. The girls might yell a lot, but I won't hear them through the Valium.

Art in Paradise, the very successful interactive attraction which started in Pattaya, is now open at Esplanade Shopping Mall on Ratchada road. Also refered by locals as the Trickeye Museum or 3D Museum, Art in Paradise is great fun for couples, friends and families to spend a few hilarious hours, especially on rainy days.

Opening in 2016, the amusement park will be located in the Phrom Phong area of Sukhumvit and will feature up to 200 life size models of popular dinosaurs. This promises to be very popular a place to photograph yourself with these long extinct beasts, and the construction of these models is incredibly impressive.

Dream World Bangkok - A visit to Dream World theme park is a fun-filled, entertaining day out where, as the name suggests, children's fantasies become realities: they can sleigh or make snow angels in Snow Land, ride a rollercoaster up Space Mountain, and meet Cinderella and Pocahontas all in one day. While Dream World's high-octane rides might not measure up to the best of American or Japanese theme parks', the sights and attractions for smaller children are excellent and ensure an exciting family day out and a lot of memorable photographs.
Although it's not actually located in Bangkok, Dream World is only a short ride up the motorway, past Don Read More...

Fantasia Lagoon is a relatively large and attractive water park built on the roof of The Mall Bangkae, which is very near Bangkok compared to the famous Dream World or Siam Park. Despite being opened for many years, the park is surprisingly unknown to tourists and only Thai locals come and play here. Fantasia Lagoon got refurbished very recently and is a fun place for kids and young adults to spend a day with huge pools and decent size sliders, and in addition you have the entire mall to play with including a very attractive games and entertainment zone located right below the water park.

If you want a guaranteed hit for the small children in your family, then Funarium Indoor Playground in Bangkok is the place to go. This large entertainment area may look like a warehouse from outside, but once you step inside and through the childproof gates - to prevent them from getting out, rather than in of course – you will find 2,000 m2 of activities, with a large climbing structure, little kids soft play, sand and water area as well as a arts and craft centre and baking station. The entire space is air-conditioned so children can run around without worrying about the weather outside, whether it's rainy or simply Read More...

Imaginia Playland is now open on the third floor of Emporium Mall at Phrom Phong BTS, presenting the most modern, creative and downright fun kid's activity in Bangkok since Kidzania opened up at Paragon a few years back.
But Imaginia is not only about having fun (although you would be fooled into thinking so seeing the excited children running around like it's Christmas morning). The two-floor space aims to educate as well as entertain, with the concept of 'learning through playing'. The impressive range of activities take on art, music, literature, technology and strategic thinking, suitable for tiny tots all the way up to young teens (below 15-years-old). Read More...

Kidzania is the very latest and, without a doubt, most innovative addition to the 'edutainment' scene in Bangkok. This is unlike anything we have seen before and the level of fun has been raised to a brand new level. Kidzania, originally a Mexican company, has been opening family entertainment centers since 1999 in Santa Fe, then in 18 additional locations around the world.
At first this appears to be another cute mini-town with pretty European style houses below painted skies - which it is. But beyond the extremely well executed craftsmanship, a much deeper level of education is brought to the kids. Read More...

Both kids and adults will love Kidzoona at Molly Fantasy on the 5th floor of Gateway Ekkamai Shopping Mall. Whether it's too hot or too rainy to be outside in Bangkok, it's the perfect place for younger children to let off some steam, with a soft play area, inflatable slides, an overly pink merry go round and trucks and trikes to speed around on.

Leoland Water Park

- Location: Sixth Floor, Central City Bangna at Km.3 on Bangna-Trad Road
Safari World is a zoo for those who don't like zoos… of course like any animal parks it has some good and some not so good sides but here animals certainly do have huge amount of space to roam free.
Opened since 1988, Safari World is divided in two distinct areas: The open space of Safari Park where you can drive through in your car or in the park bus represents 480 acres for its open zoo and 180 acres for its bird park, then the Marine Park which is more of a traditional zoo mixed with many shows, lots of food stalls and plenty of souvenir shops.

There is enough to see and do at Siam Park to spend an entire day here, with a large area dedicated to a water park with exhilarating slides, and a separate amusement park with some fantastic rides for both small and big kids – just don't visit expecting Disneyland or other international standard parks you have visited before. Although this park has some large new rides and the water park is great fun, the overall look is slightly shabby, despite a complete renovation in 2007 it still looks like it's stuck in the 90s, and staff don't have the best English. Although adults may be less than impressed, kids are Read More...

Reston, Va. (February 1, 2011) Positron emission tomography (PET) can image metabolic changes following treatment with the protein kinase inhibitor vandetanib, helping to define the therapy response or the effectiveness of the therapeutic agent, according to research published in the February issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Currently being tested in clinical trials, vandetanib inhibits the function of the RET (rearranged-during-transfection protein) proto-oncogene and other protein kinases involved in the development and progression of cancer.
"For the most part, clinical trials have been measuring the effectiveness of vandetanib by changes in tumor size. Based on the activating effects of mutated RET and other protein kinases on numerous intracellular metabolic pathways, we hypothesized that PET imaging could play a role in the early evaluation of response to vandetanib," said Martin A. Walter, MD, lead author of the study "Metabolic Imaging Allows Early Prediction of Response to Vandetanib."
The study examined the usefulness of metabolic imaging to determine response to vandetanib in three ways. First, medullary thyroid cancer cells were used to create an in vitro model. After cultivation, the cells were treated with vandetanib, and changes in the metabolic profile of the cells were successfully monitored by transcriptional profiling and by radiotracer uptake studies.
Using the same untreated cells, the researchers then created an in vivo model by injecting mice with the cancerous cells and treating them with vandetanib. Small animal PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging was performed and was found to reproduce the in vitro findings of metabolic activity after three days.
Finally, a 43-year old patient with biopsy-proven metastasized medullary thyroid cancer was treated with vandetanib. PET scans taken at 12 and 24 weeks after treatment were able to detect metabolic response to vandetanib, consistent with the in vitro and in vivo samples.
"With the increasing number of available treatment options, careful patient selection is necessary to ensure targeted therapy is administered to those most likely to gain clinical benefit," said Walter. "The identification of markers of treatment efficacy is a key factor for the success of these novel treatment approaches."
"Furthermore," he continued, "relating in-vivo PET imaging metabolic data with transcriptional profiling data using cluster analysis is an innovative concept that allows much potential in the field of molecular imaging."

During a week-long school holiday, GVI volunteers and a bunch of brilliantly keen kids, gave the school at Barbasco a facelift. The walls in both classrooms were cleaned and painted a fresh shade of blue, while a smaller room - previously being used for storage - was converted into a brand new classroom for the 1st Grade students.
With bright yellow walls, complete with the alphabet and numbers, it´s the perfect space for the younger kids to learn... and have fun! With help from all the kids and Sandra - teacher and director at Barbasco - the main classroom was also decorated, and we all agree it looks GREAT!

Rebuilding Balboa Park's Public Square
Video published February 19, 2010 | Download MP4 | View transcript
Friday, February 19, 2010
JOANNE FARYON (Host): Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park used to be a public square. But today, it's overtaken by cars instead of people. KPBS reporter Sharon Heilbrunn looks at the renewed effort to turn the parking lot into a place for pedestrians.
SHARON HEILBRUNN (KPBS Reporter): Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park used to be a public square. When it was built in 1915 for the Panama-California Exposition, it was a gathering spot for dignitaries and community events. That is, until it was turned into a parking lot in the 1940s. Now, there is a renewed effort to turn the plaza back into a place for pedestrians. It's an idea that San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders stands behind, says Rachel Laing, spokeswoman for the Mayor's office.
RACHEL LAING (Spokesperson, Mayor Jerry Sanders): It's something that's been talked about for probably decades. It's been an idea that people say: 'Why is this a parking lot, when it used to be a grand ceremonial plaza?' There is no space like it in San Diego, that gives you the opportunity to have a huge public gathering, permit free. If a politician comes to town, right now, they go to Horton Plaza or Fashion Valley Mall. This is a public space and it should be used for the public.
HEILBRUNN: The plan calls for the removal of more than 70 parking spaces -- 20 of which are for disabled persons -- and the surrounding asphalt. It would be replaced with an open plaza, to be used only by pedestrians. Now, even though the parking spaces would be gone, cars would still pass through this two-way road on the southwest corner of the plaza.
PAUL MEYER (Member, Balboa Park Trust): My hope for this project is that we will do more than simply remove cars. My hope is that we will add the accouterments of a public gathering place. I'd love to see tables put out around the plaza, and carts offering coffee and something to eat, and musicians strolling about. I would love to see tasteful lights- L-E-D lights, so that at night people gather here. This should be an intersection for people of all ages with interests of all kinds around the parks.
HEILBRUNN: The area is surrounded by several art museums and institutions, including the San Diego Museum of Art.
MEYER: Architecturally, this should be one of the most beautiful, uninterrupted, open vistas of any public park in the world. It really has that potential. My belief is that if we open this up as a visual mall for the city that our institutions will grow all the stronger. Many people do consider this the best collection of park-based institutions in the country, west of the Smithsonian.
HEILBRUNN: It's not known whether the parking spots would be removed or relocated. Currently, there are 6600 spaces in the park. It would cost between $5 and 6 million just to replace the parking spaces and asphalt with a pedestrian-friendly surface. The money would come from private donations, and not from the city's general fund. Right now, the City of San Diego is working with park organizations to raise $1 million, which would go toward evaluating the needs of the area.
LAING: The million dollars is to fund a study to find what we would do with the plaza, and how we would reduce any impacts to parking, what is it that we really want, engage the public. That million dollars is critical. Without that million dollars, without that study, we're not going to be able to go forward. The hope is that it's done by the park's Centennial Celebration, in 2015.
LAING: And this would be a wonderful thing to unveil for that huge celebration, which is going to bring thousands of thousands of more people to the park.
It's going to be marketed; it's going to be an enormous celebration, so we'd love to have it done by then.
HEILBRUNN: Nearly 10 million people visit Balboa Park each year. If this project moves forward, it's likely that improvements will be made to the park's tram system and maybe even requiring employees to shuttle in from outside lots so that more visitor spaces are available within the park. We want to know if you think Plaza de Panama should be turned into a public square. Log onto KPBS.org/sdweek and leave us a comment. For KPBS, I'm Sharon Heilbrunn.

From the perspective of a long time San Diego native and Balboa Park employee at the San Diego Natural History Museum, the removal of the parking spaces in the Plaza Mayor would not affect the park in a negative way. There is plenty of parking throughout the park and the zoo. I feel it would be a great space to provide activities for families and visitors that would inevitably bring more people to the park and a site for Farmers Markets that would promote organic and healthy foods. The Cabrillo bridge would become a view point and experience for people rather than just a transition point for vehicles trying to enter the park. It's important to consider what the World's Fair in 1915 was designed to do for the San Diego economy and image. It should be a destination point for visitors and not simply another lot for more vehicles. This would also promote a green solution and would inspire patrons to walk to the park. The loss of a few parking spaces seems a small compromise for the possibilities it could present.

I agree. a plaza with tables, food, music is just right.
That said. I find the present situation in the park difficult. The following are badly needed as I'm sure you agree.
Easy public transportation going through the park.
More frequent trolly stops within the park
More parking.
Having lived in NYC and Paris, I now find access to the park activities too difficult. Parking next to impossible. Walking daunting for anyone of a certain age.
Most importantly, I feel for the working people of San Diego wanting to meet their family and friends on weekends when so many events occur. Even if they were to find a way into the park, few if any picnic tables while the restaurants are relatively expensive.
If San Digo wants to created a park as described in your program, it must be a park where the community can meet and wander easily.
Thank you. Terin Smith

Parking is horrid in the park. I'm at Spanish Village weekly and so often I end up parking at the zoo.
That said, the Plaza de Panama should become a public square again.
In addition to Terin's suggestions about the trolley and other public transportation we should consider double decking the flat or almost flat spaces - maybe the zoo, certainly along Park Blvd, the Organ Pavilion etc. and roofing them with solar power for the park. Could also make easy parking spaces for hybrid / electric vehicles not unlike we do for handicapped parking.
Yes, there's a cost, but the savings in solar should go a long way to defraying over time.

San Diego can have one of the most beautiful plazas in the world. It is sitting there waiting for us to haul off the paving and bring in a well designed and furnished public area. The beauty of the surrounding buildings, the plantings, and San Diego's friendly climate are assets we are not utilizing to their fullest when we have wall-to-wall cars. Because there are so few spaces to park, I would guess that most of the traffic is created from people simply cruising around trying to find parking. I think the value gained from the limited parking is far too high a price to pay for what we are sacrificing in beauty and ambience.
Committed people must surely be able to come up with solutions on hop-on-hop- off buses or trams or trollies to solve the problem. It needs to be a solution for the whole complex from Balboa Hospital parking lot to the zoo, designed for all the meetings (San Diego Youth Symphony - orchid shows - weddings, etc.) in the Prado area to the museums, arts, organ concerts, strollers who are there to see the plantings and enjoy the beauty - the list is extensive. It is a gift that few cities can equal. We need to protect it and maintain it. Getting cars out of the plaza would be welcome.

"Keeping Chickens with Ashley English" by Ashley English. I'm building a coop this year and some chickens to put in it. Then I shall have free eggs.
Well, I read most of Mary Beard's "The Roman Triumph" for my capstone. I'm now combing through Kathryn Lomas' "Roman Italy 338BC-AD200: A Sourcebook" for quotes from Livy, Cicero, Dionysius, and various inscriptions on how the Romans treated their allies prior to the Social War. Also perusing a book called "Zapotec Civilization" for a short paper for my Archaeo class.
Lady I used to work with had chickens. She used to give out extra eggs at work. They were great! However make sure your coop is as fox-proof as you can get it otherwise the chickens won't last long.
I've started reading a book based on a true story of love and murder on a tiny island in the Pacific 1000 miles south of Hawaii "And The Sea Will Tell." It was a very famous murder case and was made into a movie for TV starring Rachel Ward, of Thorn Birds fame and Bruce Dern, Laura Dern's dad, as the lovers, I think in the late 80's or early 90's. The murder took place in 1974 or '75. The book is far more detailed than the movie and is well written and so far very interesting, even tho I know the outcome.
Fate Of The Jedi: Ascension by Christie Golden It's been almost one year since I read Conviction. Allston's first and Denning's two entries were great but four clunkers diminished my interest in the series. Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
A couple of kids learn that their grandparents are the caretakers of a secret preserve of mythical creatures, while a secret group is trying to destroy it. It's a five-book YA series, each has its own plot with an overall plot tying them all together. Not exactly deep reading, but it's pretty good, each book better than the last so far. Amazing.
I'm reading the first Wicked by Gregory Maguire.It is extremely good.You have to have read the Wizard if Oz series to understand some things like Ozma and Winkies which I have.
Antarctica, by Kim Stanley Robinson. On the negative side, I don't think KSR is capable of constructing a sentence of less than six hundred words unless it's "The End." On the negative negative side, the novel seems to be rather all TOUCH NOT THE ENVIRONMENT HEATHENS, SMART PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS BETTER THAN YOU DO, NOW GO AWAY AND MAKE MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE. On the plus side, he seems to be hitting the mark beautifully introducing Feng Shui into the story; it's gotten me interested in that branch of superstition/common sense/knowledge (delete where applicable).
That was an amazing book. It comes out in March and I'd suggest any woman pick it up. Now reading A History of the Present Illness by Louise Aronson
Currently reading, out loud and with voices and accents to my appreciative wife, The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. She's never read them (though she is an ardent fantasist) and I grew up immersed in them (they were my first literary love, and remain so), so the process is nothing short of wonderful. Seeing my wife's responses to the plot turns has been delicious. Discovering that her favorite character is Gurgi fills my heart with joy and my eyes with unbidden tears. We're currently on the third book, The Castle of Llyr, and while it's my least favorite episode, wifey is loving it and I love her for loving it. I even do the female voices with something approaching realism and am considering a career in voice acting, because as it happens I'm awesome at it. (These are the books that Disney based their great 1985 animated failure, The Black Cauldron, upon. That movie has its fans, mostly people who have never read the books, because the filmmakers tragically butchered the source material. They have since admitted doing so, and I have forgiven them in hopes that a film series will one day be forthcoming, as the Mouse still owns the rights.)
I'm reading that too! I'm about 100 pages in. Where are you at in it and what do you think of it so far?
I'm 70 pages in. I thought the prologue was brilliant. Chapters 1 and 2 are self-contained episodes and a good introduction to the character.

Suzanne Wilson5 Stars Out Of 5July 30, 2010Suzanne WilsonI can't believe I didn't buy this sooner. I think the price tag was throwing me, but it was worth every penny and then some! It is by far the easiest way to learn a language quickly and retain it. I've tried other CDs and tapes to learn other languages, but Rosetta Stone's method is the easiest way to learn. A great present for a student, and a great way to learn language if you'll be traveling to a foreign country. Can't say enough good things about it. Also, Christianbook.com was great as well. The product arrived quicker than expected, and in great condition.

Two directors who have a lot brewing, but not much moving are heading to ABC for some television projects that will likely keep their chops honed as they wait for their various feature efforts to come together.
First up, Alex Proyas ("Dark City," "I, Robot") will executive produce and direct "Evolve." The Jamie Paglia ("Eureka")-penned drama is based on the "Toxic City" trilogy of novels by Tim Lebbon, and follows a band of Los Angeles citizens who endeavor to discover the truth about what really happened when a biological agent was released in the air two years earlier, leaving much of the city of quarantined. It turns out those exposed have been given great powers, and the government is looking to destroy them. How very "X-Men."
Next, Martin Campbell ("Casino Royale") will executive produce and direct "Coup." Penned by "Mad Men" co-executive producer Chris Black, the show centers on a man who teams with a mercenary to get his wife back who has been taken hostage overseas in the midst of a coup. How very "Taken." [Deadline]

Fearne Cotton pregnant
Thursday, 9th August 2012
Fearne Cotton announces she's Pregnant
The Radio and TV presenter Fearne Cotton has announced she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jesse Wood.
The news broke via her official twitter page last night as 30 year old Fearne tweeted: "Me and Jesse have some news". The tweet included a link to the Radio One DJ's personal website where the couple had announced they were "over the moon" about their pregnancy "morning sickness aside".
The Celebrity Juice star has been the first to declare she has been "unlucky in love" but back in May she was happily gushing about her relationship with Jesse Wood, the son of The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, where she said: "Last year I was pretty miserable, but Jesse turned things around. I have never been so content - it is a good feeling".
Prior to Fearne Musician Jesse has dated a string of models, including Kate Moss, and even had a spell or two in rehab, some would say he is a chip of the old block, He also has two children from a previous marriage to Catherine "Tilly" Boone.
After the happy news traveled onto twitter timelines, it wasn't long before celebrities were offering the couple their congratulations. Fellow Radio One DJ, Sara Cox, tweeted: "I have a soppy lil; smile every time i think about @fearncotton 's and Jesse wood's wonderful news".
With other tweets from Chris Moyles, Ellie Goulding and the Sugababes coming in shortly afterwards.
Then this morning rock legend Ronnie Wood gave his seal of approval saying: "I like her. She is very 'rock and roll', I wonder if she is about to become my daughter in law anytime soon."
Whereas, Fearne's best friend and mother of two Holly Willoughby has told Fearne she has never "been so pleased" for her.
It seems anybody who is anbody is congratulating the couple today, and guess what? We're doing it to...

The Horse Forum
- Horse Tack and Equipment
- - The Hackamore
The Hackamore I just bought a new horse that has not been rode for awhile. The guy I bought the horse from always used a hackamore and when he rode the horse he would let him go where ever the horse wanted to go and not guide him. Now I have him I am having a hard time getting him to do what I want him to do. Should I stay with the hackamore or should I go to a bit? I am so afraid that I will hurt his nose as I have never rode with a hackamore before, I always use a bit. |
Welcome to the forum. A little more information. How old is the horse? How long did the last owner have him for and was he/she the one who trained him? Why did he use a hack instead of a bit? Have you checked his mouth? IMO, with a horse like that, I would start from the beginning. I would fit him with a snaffle and teach him to turn. It may take a while to teach him who is in control - him or you. |

text: Could An Ingredient In Spicy Foods Make Your Beer Belly Disappear?Leslie Horn5/09/12 4:37pmFiled to: MedicineHealthScienceSurgeryFat10EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThere's evidence that adding more spiciness in your diet can help curb your appetite. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston are taking that idea to a whole different level—one that requires anesthesia. They've found that surgically manipulating the vagus nerve by applying capsaicin, the active component inside a chili pepper responsible for its burning sensation, can help with weight loss.AdvertisementThe vagus nerve is the part of the brain that sends messages back and forth from the stomach to the noggin. The procedure being tested is called vagal de-afferentation. It uses capaicin to deteriorate specific parts the nerve, so the brain can give the gut info, but the tummy can't send data back. This surgery has resulted in the reduction of visceral fat, or the beer belly, in layman's terms.While a complete removal of the vagus (a vagotomy) causes more dramatic weight loss, decaying the nerve has fewer side-effects. Both procedures reduce the risk of obesity-related ailments like diabetes. That said, researchers say there's more work to be done before these procedures are ready to be used on humans.You've got to be dangerously large to even consider going under the knife to shed pounds. And messing with your brain? That is a very serious matter. But America is getting fatter. The American Journal of Preventative Medicine predicts that by 2030, 42 percent of the country will be overweight. And that means a greater demand for weight-loss surgeries, which is why unfortunately, research like this is necessary. [EurekAlert]

Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge are Capello's first and second choice in that position but injury to either of them for the tournament in South Africa would see England short of genuine contenders and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said: "If Capello asks my opinion, I'll give a positive one. He's ready to step up."
Joleon Lescott or Matthew Upson could fill in at left-back but would not provide the pace of Chelsea defender Cole or his deputy in Bridge. Other options include Aston Villa's Stephen Warnock or Everton's Leighton Baines.
Arsenal veteran Mikael Silvestre, skipper for the win over Liverpool, believes youngsters such as Gibbs have matured and give Wenger the chance of his first trophy since 2005.
"We did quite well last season but know we have to step up a little bit and be more mature in our game," Silvestre said on BBC Five Live.
"I think all the lads learnt from last season and hopefully in March and April we'll be there to prove it.
"There are moments in the game when you have to hold your position or keep shape or make decisions. You only learn with experience and even young players like Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey have shown they have matured their games from last season.
"The potential is high, we have everything to win titles here and it's up to us and the manager to prove it. We want to finish as winners not losers. We hope for a better future for us."

With the 18th place finish Bowman still holds down the 11th position in driver point standings
RAB Racing and the No. 99 ToyotaCare Camry came into Dover International Speedway riding some momentum after a fifth place finish and winning the Sunoco Rookie of the Race award last weekend in Kentucky Speedway. The team hoped they could tame the track effectively nicknamed the "Monster Mile" after a 17th finish at the speedway last June, but after coming up short on fuel mileage Bowman finished in the 18th position.
The weekend started off on Friday with the first and final practice session where the No. 99 ToyotaCare Camry recorded the fifth fastest lap, crew chief Chris Rice and team were extremely pleased with the handling and performance of the car especially long into a run. This raw speed right off the trailer translated into the fourth fastest lap in qualifying at speed of 154.407 mph, the best starting position of any Toyota Camry in the field.
The green flag flew on the 5-hour Energy 200 and Bowman starting from the fourth position held strong in the top-10 in the beginning stages of the event. Caution waved on lap 38 and the No. 99 made a pit stop for four tires, gas, and chassis adjustments, restarting in 20th position after most of the field stayed out on track. From that point on Bowman tried to play catch up, as the remaining 162 laps were run under green flag conditions. The No. 99 was just shy of making it to the finish on fuel mileage, but the team couldn't take the gamble of running out of fuel under green flag conditions. On lap 180 of 200, Bowman relinquished the 12th position and came in for a two tire and fuel pit stop, rejoining the race in 18th and ultimately finishing in that position. With the 18th place finish Bowman still holds down the 11th position in driver point standings and Robby Benton maintained the 16th position in owner point standings.
Alex Bowman: "Well that's definitely not the finish we were looking for or deserved in our ToyotaCare Camry. This was hands down the best handling, and fastest car I've ever had in my three starts here at Dover in the Nationwide Series. From the beginning we took off really well, battled with the best in the sport and began riding around close to the top-10. I don't think anyone has ever seen this race go green flag for so long and finish the way it did, and from our first pit stop of the day it just worked out that we came up short on fuel mileage at the end. We made the decision to pit and make sure we could make it to the end on fuel, it was definitely the right call because if we tried to save and still ran out of fuel it would have proved disastrous under green. We will move on to Kansas Speedway, a track I've never been to but definitely excited for my first laps as we are always strong on fast, mile and half tracks."
The next event for the NASCAR Nationwide Series is at Kansas Speedway for the Kansas Lottery 300 on Saturday October 5th. The race will be televised live on ESPN and also heard on MRN Radio.

I read about this in Fangoria a while back and it peaked my interest. I saw the commercial for it on TV last week and made sure I got to see it this weekend.
I really did like it. Hubby wasn't too happy about the subtitling, but it didn't bother me any. I won't give anything away, but some of the creatures and other FX (digital and makeup) were pretty cool! I only wish there was more of the labyrinth itself.
This flick is rated R. Don't let the title fool you, it's definitely not for kids. Quite graphic. (IMHO, it's about time that more genre films get back to an R rating. I'm tired of PG:13 horror films. )
Anyhow, long story short, I recommend it.

Blackhawks take game 1 in OT
Posted By Jeff Heimerl On May 2 2013 @ 7:27 pm In Minnesota Wild | No Comments
Cal Clutterbuck scored the 1st goal of the game, giving the Wild a 1-0 lead in the 1st period. Marian Hossa answered in the 2nd period with a goal, assisted by Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith. In overtime Bryan Bickell scored in a two-on-one situation with a nice backhand.
In at goalie for the Wild was Josh Harding after Niklas Backstrom was stratched from the line up after hurting his leg in pregame warm-ups. Harding held his own though, making 35 saves.
The Wild as an 8th seed would be repeating was the Kings did last year if they were able to make it all the way to the Stanley Cup and pull off a win, lets keep our fingers crossed!
The 2nd game of the series will be Friday night at the United Center in Chicago.

Hi Wez,
I booked on the Western Highlights tour a couple of weeks ago which starts LA and finishes in Vegas and i beleive you stay at Kyoto Grand Hotel in LA and Harrah's in Las Vegas. I'm not sure if this varies from tour to tour though but maybe someone else may be able to confirm this - 0 people like this
18 Aug 2010 Wez said
Ah brilliant, thanks Andy & Ramona.
Harrah's is in a great location on the strip and gets pretty decent reviews.
As for Kyoto, the reviews also look good and it's in downtown LA which is a more "happening" area than Anaheim where the tour used to go.
I'm thinking of booking the western Highlights or Wild Western as they include a lot of places I've never been as well as places I can't get enough of… like Vegas<!--graemlin:;)--> - 0 people like this
18 Aug 2010 Andy said
I'm personally staying at the Ramada hotel by the airport as i couldn't see on the Kyoto website if it had a pool (the 1 thing thing other than a bed i wanted for the hotel).
i've booked on the Western Highlight even though i've been to almost all the places before. This time i'mn going to apreciate it more as i'm paying.
The only thing that stopped me off doing the Wild Western would be that i would have had to take 3 weeks off work in order to have a couple of days extra either side of the tour to rest (and i wanted to finish in Vegas rather than go there mid way through the trip so i can't blow my money early) - 0 people like this
24 Aug 2010 Wez said
Ah yes I hear you. I think I'll do the Wild western myself then stay extra in LA & Vegas.
Those two were amazing on my last tour but I found San Fransisco was a little bit over rated in my opinion so not too keen to go back there in a hurry. - 0 people like this

Recommended Reading for Student Council Advisors
June 01, 2005
I took a leadership class from Lois F. Roets and received two books from her that I think would help anyone who plans to help organize a student council at their school. One is was written by Dr. Roets called 'Leadership, A Skills Training Program' and the other is 'Effective Student Councils, A Resource Book for Teachers and Administrators' by Pamela L. Zielske. Both can be ordered from Leadership Publishers Inc., PO Box 8358, Des Moines, IA 50301. Dr. Roets would be a great source of information as well.

Brimsby is a happy hat maker--until his best friend goes off to find adventure at sea. Now Brimsby is a lonely hat maker, unsure of what to do. But since making hats is what he does best, perhaps his talents can help him find some friends...
Filled with whimsy and wonder, Brimsby's Hats is a celebration of creativity and friendship.

Bereft when his best friend takes off for a new life as a sea captain, Brimsby—a small, fuzzy, button-nosed creature who makes hats—seeks new companions. One winter afternoon he finds some birds working feverishly, "shoveling the snow out of their nests and keeping the cold wind from blowing out their fires." Brimsby realizes that his hats might serve as shelters for them, and his thoughtfulness earns him a treeful of new friends: "They talked about hats. They talked about snow shovels. They talked about whether lemon cookies taste better than worms." Newcomer Prahin's exceptionally polished digital spreads look like stills from an animated feature. Muted, offbeat shades of gray-blue, mauve, and lime echo Brimsby's quirky personality. There's no dialogue—Prahin narrates the whole story comfortingly in the third person, softening Brimsby's feelings of loss—and much of the humor appears in the stylish spreads. In one, a bison tries on a comically small hat; in another, Brimsby and his friend fantasize in pictorial dialogue balloons about fighting a pirate octopus. A promising first outing for Prahin. Ages 4–8. Agent: Paul Rodeen, Rodeen Literary Management. (Jan.)
When new friends are needed
Brimsby is a hat maker. He lives in a tiny cottage in the country, and his best friend, a badger, visits daily to chat over delicious hot tea. When his bestie leaves to become a sea captain, Brimsby is lonely and sets out to make some new friends. Birds high up in a tree are too busy keeping warm to pay him any mind. When Brimsby returns with hats for each, large enough to cover their nests and keep out the wind and snow, he makes more than enough new friends in one fell swoop.
One of many things debut author-illustrator Andrew Prahin does so well here is regulate the careful and generous pacing of this story. Never rushing, he gives readers just enough time to believe in the friendship of Brimsby and his friend, and he devotes two spreads to Brimsby's subsequent loneliness. We feel Brimsby's loss. In one spread, we see four seasons go by in 12 small vignettes, as Brimsby sews by the window where his friend once sat with him. Prahin also uses white space to great effect. In several illustrations, we see copious white for the abundant snow, as heavy-hearted Brimsby trudges forward to make someone's acquaintance. It's moving and possesses a poignant restraint.
The color palette of Prahin's digitally created art is also smart, as he replaces the warmer colors of his best friend with the cooler, more muted colors of sadness and heavy winter. When Brimsby strikes up a friendship with the birds, glowing pinks are introduced. And when they all head out to visit the sea captain at the book's close—new friendships never cancel out the old ones, after all—we see vivid greens, as everyone sits by the shore in summer, having tea as a group.
Brimsby's Hats is a very promising debut and a touching story of friendship from a storyteller I hope we hear from again.

Find out how we produce our information
Fludarabine (Fludara ®) is a chemotherapy drug used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and some types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This information should ideally be read with our general information about chemotherapy and the type of cancer you have.
You will be given fludarabine in the chemotherapy day unit or during a stay in hospital. A chemotherapy nurse will give it to you. Fludarabine can be given in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. During treatment you usually see a cancer doctor, a chemotherapy nurse or a specialist nurse. This is who we mean when we mention doctor or nurse in this information.
Before or on the day of treatment, a nurse or person trained to take blood (phlebotomist) will take a blood sample from you. This is to check that it is okay for you to have chemotherapy.
You will also see a doctor or nurse before you have chemotherapy. They will ask you how you have been. If your blood results are all right on the day of your treatment, the pharmacist will prepare your chemotherapy. Your nurse will tell you when your treatment is likely to be ready.
Your nurse gives you anti-sickness drugs before you start. Fludarabine is then given in one of the following ways:
Your nurse can give you fludarabine as a slow injection or drip (infusion) into your cannula or line. They usually run the drip through a pump, which usually gives you the treatment over 30 minutes.
Some people might have side effects while they are having the chemotherapy.
If you have this tell your nurse straight away. They will check your drip site and slow the drip to ease the pain.
If you are having fludarabine tablets, you will be able to take them at home. Always take your tablets exactly as instructed by your nurse or pharmacist. This is important to make sure they work as well as possible for you.
Swallow them whole with a glass of water either with food or on an empty stomach.
Other things to remember about your tablets:
Before you go home, the nurse or pharmacist will give you anti-sickness drugs to take. They may also give you other tablets, which they will talk to you about. Take all your tablets exactly as they have explained to you.
You have chemotherapy as a course of several sessions (or cycles) of treatment over a few months. Your doctor or nurse will tell you the number of cycles you are likely to have.
We explain the most common side effects of fludarabine here. But we don't include all the rare ones that are unlikely to affect you.
You may get some of the side effects we mention, but you are very unlikely to get all of them. Always tell your doctor or nurse about the side effects you have. Your doctor can prescribe drugs to help control some of these.
It is very important to take the drugs exactly as your nurse or pharmacist has explained. This means they will be more likely to work better for you.
Your nurse will give you advice about managing your side effects. After your treatment is over, the side effects will start to improve.
Sometimes cancer drugs can result in very severe allergic reactions, which rarely may be life-threatening. Your cancer doctor and nurse can explain the risk of these side effects to you.
Your nurse will give you telephone numbers for the hospital. You can call them if you feel unwell or need advice any time of day or night. Save these numbers in your phone or keep them somewhere safe.
We're not able to list every side effect for this treatment here, particularly the rarer ones. For more detailed information you can visit the electronic Medicines Compendium.
Fludarabine can reduce the number of white blood cells in your blood. This will make you more likely to get an infection. When the number of white blood cells is low, it's called neutropenia. Your nurse can tell you when your white blood cells are likely to be at their lowest.
Contact the hospital straight away on the contact number you've been given if:
You will have a blood test before having more chemotherapy. If your white blood cells are still low, your doctor may delay your treatment for a short time.
While taking fludarabine, you are at risk of developing a chest infection called pneumocystis. To help prevent this, your doctor will give you an antibiotic called co-trimoxazole (Septrin ®). You take it during treatment and for a few months after the treatment has finished. You may also be given other drugs to try to prevent infection.
This treatment can reduce the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets are cells that help the blood to clot. Tell your doctor if you have any bruising or bleeding you can't explain. This includes nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood spots or rashes on the skin. Some people may need a drip to give them extra platelets.
Fludarabine can reduce the number of red blood cells in your blood. These cells carry oxygen around the body. If the number of red blood cells is low, you may be tired and breathless. Tell your doctor or nurse if you feel like this. If you are very anaemic, you may need a drip to give you extra red blood cells (blood transfusion).
This may happen in the first few days after chemotherapy. Your doctor will prescribe anti-sickness (anti-emetic) drugs to help prevent or control sickness. Take the drugs exactly as your nurse or pharmacist explains to you. It's easier to prevent sickness than to treat it after it has started.
If you still feel sick or are vomiting, contact the hospital as soon as possible. They can give you advice and change the anti-sickness drug to one that works better for you.
You may lose your appetite during your treatment. Try to eat small meals regularly. Don't worry if you don't eat much for a day or two. If your appetite doesn't improve after a few days, let your nurse or dietitian know. They can give you advice on getting more calories and protein in your diet. They may give you food supplements or meal replacement drinks to try. Your doctor can prescribe some of these and you can buy them from chemists.
Your mouth may become sore and you may get ulcers. This can make you more likely to get an infection in your mouth. Gently clean your teeth and/or dentures morning and night and after meals. Use a soft-bristled or children's toothbrush. Your nurse might ask you to rinse your mouth regularly or use mouthwashes. It's important to follow any advice you are given and to drink plenty of fluids.
Tell your nurse or doctor if you have any problems with your mouth. They can prescribe medicines to prevent or treat mouth infections and reduce any soreness.
Feeling very tired is a common side effect. It's often worse towards the end of treatment and for some weeks after it's finished. Try to pace yourself and get as much rest as you need. It helps to balance this with some gentle exercise, such as short walks. If you feel sleepy, don't drive or operate machinery.
Chemotherapy may affect your skin. Your doctor or nurse can tell you what to expect. If your skin feels dry, try using an unperfumed moisturising cream every day. Fludarabine can cause a rash, which may be itchy. Always tell your doctor or nurse about any skin changes. They can give you advice and may prescribe creams or medicines to help. Any changes to your skin are usually temporary and improve when treatment finishes.
Tell your doctor or nurse if you have headaches. They can give you painkillers to help.
Fludarabine can affect how your kidneys and liver work. This is usually mild and goes back to normal after treatment. You will have blood tests before chemotherapy to check how well your kidneys and liver are working.
You may put on weight or your ankles and legs may swell because of fluid building up. Tell your doctor or nurse if fluid builds up. If your ankles and legs swell it can help to put your legs up on a foot stool or cushion. The swelling gets better after your treatment ends.
These symptoms are caused by the effect of fludarabine on nerves. It's called peripheral neuropathy. You may also find it hard to fasten buttons or do other fiddly tasks.
Tell your doctor if you have these symptoms. They sometimes need to lower the dose of the drug. The symptoms usually improve slowly after treatment finishes but in some people they may never go away. Talk to your doctor if you are worried about this.
You may get pain in your joints or muscles for a few days after chemotherapy. Tell your doctor if this happens so they can prescribe painkillers. Let them know if the pain does not get better. Try to get plenty of rest. Taking regular warm baths may help.
Fludarabine may cause blurry vision or eye pain. Always tell your doctor or nurse if you have eye pain or notice any change in your vision. Your eyes may also become more sensitive to light.
Rarely fludarabine can affect the way the heart works.
If you notice changes to your heartbeat, feel breathless, or have pain or tightness in your chest at any time during or after treatment, tell a doctor straight away. These symptoms can be caused by other conditions but it's important to get them checked by a doctor.
Treatment can cause changes to the lungs. Always tell your doctor if you develop wheezing, a cough, or a fever or if you feel breathless. You should also let them know if any existing breathing problems get worse. If necessary, they can arrange for you to have tests to check your lungs.
Fludarabine can affect the nervous system. You may feel anxious or restless, have problems sleeping or experience mood changes. Some people feel drowsy or confused. Tell your doctor or nurse straight away if you notice any of these symptoms. It's important not to drive or operate machinery if you notice these effects. Rarely, this drug can cause seizures (fits).
Fludarabine may cause the leukaemia/cancer cells to break down quickly. This releases uric acid (a waste product) into the blood. Too much uric acid can cause swelling and pain in the joints, which is called gout.
Your doctor may give you tablets called allopurinol (Zyloric ®) to help prevent this. Drinking at least two litres of fluid a day will also help. You will have regular blood tests to check the uric acid levels.
Fludarabine can increase the risk of developing a second cancer years later. But the benefits of treatment usually far outweigh this risk. Your doctor can talk to you about this.
It is important to tell your doctor or nurse straight away if you feel ill or have severe side effects. This includes any we don't mention here.
After treatment with fludaribine any blood and platelets you are given should first be treated with radiation. This lowers the risk of the donated blood cells reacting against your own. It won't damage the blood or make you radioactive.
Your doctor will record in your medical notes that you should only be given irradiated blood products. They'll also give you a card to carry in case you're treated at another hospital. Keep this card with you at all times and remind your hospital team that you need irradiated blood or platelets.
Cancer increases the chance of a blood clot (thrombosis) and chemotherapy can add to this. A clot can cause symptoms such as pain, redness and swelling in a leg, breathlessness and chest pain. Contact your doctor straight away if you have any of these symptoms. A blood clot is serious but your doctor can treat it with drugs that thin the blood. Your doctor or nurse can give you more information.
Some medicines can interact with chemotherapy or be harmful when you are having chemotherapy. This includes medicines you can buy in a shop or chemist. Tell your doctor about any medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, complementary therapies and herbal drugs.
Fludarabine may affect your fertility (being able to get pregnant or father a child). If you are worried about this, you can talk to your doctor or nurse before treatment starts.
Your doctor will advise you not to become pregnant or father a child during treatment. This is because the drugs may harm a developing baby. It's important to use effective contraception during and for a few months after chemotherapy. You can talk to your doctor or nurse about this.
If you have sex within the first couple of days of having chemotherapy you need to use a condom. This is to protect your partner in case there is any chemotherapy in semen or vaginal fluid.
Women are advised not to breastfeed during treatment and for a few months after. This is in case there is chemotherapy in their breast milk.
If you need to go into hospital for any reason other than cancer, always tell the doctors and nurses that you are having chemotherapy. Explain you are taking chemotherapy tablets that no one should stop or restart without advice from your cancer doctor. Give them contact details for your cancer doctor.
Talk to your cancer doctor or nurse if you think you need dental treatment. Always tell your dentist you are having chemotherapy.

text: I really believe that someone should write a book about Western media coverage of Syria in the last year. I wish I have the time to write it but I don't. But if someone is interested, I have ideas. This is one of the lowest moments of Western journalism since I stepped foot on US soil in 1983.
