This is my first post on a forum so I hope I am doing this right. In early 2011 I had my yearly physical and by some sort of fluke in an unrelated test it was found that I had a spot on my liver. After numerous ultra sounds, CT Scans and MRI's (luckily I live in Canada and I am over 65) and 2 biopsies(which showed absolutely nothing) my surgeon decided that he must open me up to see what the mass was in my liver. First operation was Nov. 23/11 .... he took out 60 % of my liver along with my gall bladder and while I was open he felt another mass of some sort at the other end of my liver. Since he didn't want to remove any more of the liver at this time he used a microwave embilation probe (I am guessing at the spelling) to treat this other unknown mass. The results from the testing found that I had a neuro endocrine carcinoma in my liver. Good news and bad news....he totally removed the large mass with the 60 % of the liver...but...this type of carcinoma does not normally start in the liver! During the next three months of my recovery I had more blood tests and an Octreotide CT Scan to try to find the primary source of the cancer. They found it on the tail of my Pancreas. WE decided to go in again and get the source so on Valentines Day Feb. 14/12 I had my second operation...they removed 40% of my pancreas and also my spleen along with some lymph nodes. Another 3 month recovery and I was pronounced "cancer free" and they would do some more test in another 3 months. After another Octreotide CT Scan and numerous other tests they found a few more spots in my liver...likely leftover from the last minute work of the first operation. The single best part of the overall diagnosis by my surgeon has been that he considers the neuro endocrine carcinoma to be THE type of cancer to get if you have to get it because he says that it is very rare and very slow growing....this information has helped me tremendously to get through this situation as I believe that above all you need to keep a positive attitude.
At this point my Oncologist and my surgeon have agreed to put me on a monthly shot of Sandostatin...very costly drug with amazing results from what I have been hearing and reading....again...luckily I live in Canada and am over 65. I have now taken the first two shots....I was fine with no side effects for the first 3 weeks but in the past 2 weeks I have had symptoms very similar to the flu 4 times lasting 2 days at a time after which I get possible 3 good days before it hits me again...right now I have been OK for about 4-5 days so hopefully my body has adjusted to it. I am not sure if anyone else has had this problem with this drug but it is not pleasant to have your system totally cleaned out about 4 times in 2 wks.
Luckily for me I have not had to have any radiation or chemo with this type of carcinoma. I am now getting ready for my next CT Scan to see if the newly found spots on my liver have changed at all and then the Surgeon and the Oncologist will decide what to do next...my hope is that there is no change or the spots have reduced...either way I think their next move will be to use the microwave ambilation (or whatever it is called) to go in and zap the spots that are left and I will just will require an overnight in the hospital and it will be over. I can only hope!
I almost forgot to mention that prior to my original yearly physical, I had NO symptoms whatsoever, nor do I at this point...I am not sure if this is because the doctors have caught this problem early or possibly this could give some of you some type of hope that this particular type of cancer is ... maybe.... not as dangerous as some of the other types and as such not as life threatening as a lot of people might think. All three of my doctors have kept me quite at ease with the way they talk about it and now it is just something that I have and I put up with...it does not really worry me but I must tell you that when I first was told of it my original thought was the "BIG C" and my days are numbered...I have since found out that it is not necessarily so!
My philosophy is...keep your head up...roll with the punches...do what you are told...keep a sense of humour...and ALWAYS look for the positive!!!!!!! YOU CAN BEAT THIS !!!!!!!
If there is anyone out there with any input regarding my situation I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Don't be surprised if you hear the phrase "birthright citizenship" a whole bunch of times before the November election.
The U.S. rule that all persons born in this country automatically become citizens is becoming a major front for Republicans in the immigration debate.
On Sunday, Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the second-ranking Republican senator, expressed support for hearings on the issue. Last week, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, generally considered a moderate on immigration, said he may introduce a constitutional amendment so children of illegal immigrants did not become citizens.
"People come here to have babies," he said. "They come here to drop a child. It's called "drop and leave."
While there is already legislation to eliminate birthright citizenship, making the change would probably require a constitutional amendment, a much more difficult task. That's because the Fourteenth Amendment states:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
Supporters of a change say the amendment adopted just after the Civil War was designed simply to make sure that former slaves became citizens, and wasn't intended to apply to illegal immigrants' kids. But the pro-immigration Immigration Policy Center offers a rebuttal, with scholar Elizabeth Wydra citing the "clear intent of the Reconstruction framers to grant U.S. citizenship based on the objective measure of U.S. birth rather than subjective political or public opinion."
There's already a sense that the Republicans will want to make immigration a big issue. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has seen a rapid rise in popularity in the wake of her state's controversial (and blocked) anti-illegal immigration law.

DeKALB – DurRay Torres-Sanchez knows the value of an internship.
It was 1994 when Torres-Sanchez walked into work at Kishwaukee Community Hospital as a sophomore at Kishwaukee College with a dream and a passion to become a registered nurse, but no background in the medical field.
Nineteen years later, Torres-Sanchez is still at the hospital thanks to the impression she made through the internship experience. She's climbed the administrative ranks to manager of clinical education and simulation, where she helps today's students pursue their dreams.
"We're looking for our future nurses here because they are right here in our backyard," Torres-Sanchez said. "To see [the students'] growth from the beginning of summer to the end of the internship is amazing."
Internships are becoming increasingly important in landing a job out of college, according to statistics from the National Association of Colleges and Employees.
About 63 percent of paid interns received at least one job offer after graduation, according to the 2012 Internship and Co-op Survey and Student Survey Class of 2012. Only 36 percent of those without internship experience received offers. The number of interns is expected to grow by 8.5 percent next year.
Northern Illinois University senior Carolyn Larson is completing 360 hours of unpaid training as an intern because of a partnership between McHenry County-based Centegra Health System and the university. Her daily tasks range from shadowing seasoned employees to working on spreadsheets and a variety of other hospital tasks.
"I never had any experience in the hospital setting, so this is really opening my eyes to what my degree will allow me to do," said Larson, 22. "By the time I am done here, I will know exactly what I want to do."
While Larson is completing her internship in her senior year, Brandon Lagana said it is never too early to start gaining professional experience that will separate a resume from the rest of the pile.
Lagana, director of marketing and information resources management at NIU Career Services, said the ideal internship experience will happen between junior and senior years because employers start looking at college recruits as they start their final year.
Lagana said career services have expanded at NIU in recent years to include more career and internship fairs, resume-building workshops and tools such as Huskies Get Hired and Perfect Interview.
Perfect Interview allows students to record answers they give to questions asked by employers in a mock video interview. Students can then assess how they answered questions and view their body language and re-record as many times as they want, Lagana said.
Huskies Get Hired is a link on NIU Career Services' website that shows which employers are actively seeking NIU graduates and gives those students and alumni a chance to upload resumes and other materials.
"Internships address that old conundrum of 'How can I get experience if no one will hire me?' " Lagana said. "It's a huge talent identifier for employers and the number one way to stand out."
Lagana said this is a prime time for students to pursue career opportunities because many employers are on campus until early May recruiting. The university's next networking event is March 28 at the Barsema Alumni and Visitors Center.
"This is one of the rare times where employers are knocking on the students' doors," he said. "They have a captive audience."

Kampsax Kollegiet
Lunova at the Danish Technical University
Kampsax Kollegiet is a dormitory on campus just by the Danish Technical University (DTU) in Copenhagen. The inner courtyard was badly illuminated and when the old luminaires were replaced, our Lunova was installed with great result.
Kampsax Kollegiet is the largest of the dormitories managed by the Polytechnic College Company. The dormitory was built in 1969-70 and consists of 521 single rooms. It's located at the Danish Technical University campus. In October 2014 the existing post top luminaires were replaced on the inner courtyards. The old ones were glass globes on 2 m posts and were not robust enough.
A green area with walking paths needed to be illuminated so that the students could feel safe during the dark hours. Since the old luminaires were easy to vandalize, they were often out of order. Lunova is an energy-efficient and impact resitent luminaire and was chosen because of the design and the good light performance. To be able to make it harder to vandalize the new luminaires we also delivered an additional galvanized pipe installed in the exisiting posts so that the post height were extended to 3 m.
Lunova provides a really nice light and atmosphere and the users a very happy with the new installation, says Jimmy Hammerlund, sales representative at Fagerhult.
Combining exceptional visual comfort and a classic design with cost-effectiveness, Lunova is the perfect choice when it comes to omnidirectional post luminaires for park and close-to-the-building environments.
For this project Lunova with night-dimming was used. Night-dimming makes it possible to save large amount of energy without switching off, which can make people feel unsafe
With lighting control, major energy savings can be made without switching off the light completely and create a sense of insecurity.
We delivered Lunova with night-time dimming for this project. It's a great way to save energy without compromising with the sense of insecurity for the people passing by, says Jimmy Hammerlund.

Q. An article in the Washington Post ("On the Web, Research Work Proves Ephemeral," by Rick Weiss, November 24, 2003) reports that URLs often become obsolete. It also says that there are lots of errors even in citations to conventional sources. What's a researcher to do?
Q. Dear Q&A, We are an undergraduate academic library where students access most of the articles they cite from online databases such as EBSCO HOST Academic Search Premier. Our faculty would like to know how you would suggest citing articles from this source, as the URLs on these databases are not persistent. Thank you.
Q. If a website breaks at the end of a line in type where a period occurs, does the period belong at the end of the line or at the beginning of the next line?
Q. Have you established any rules for breaking web addresses at ends of lines? I would be inclined to break at the slash where possible, with no hyphen (keeping the address intact), but what about the "dots"? Example: eic.edu.gov.on.ca/html/dsbmaps.html (I've got another one that's a line and a quarter long!).
Q. Should a sentence that ends with a website address end with a period that is not part of the address? I am concerned that people who are not familiar with how URLs work might have trouble finding a site if they assume that the final period is part of the address. I have the same concern about putting a web address in quotation marks. Have you found any effective way of making sure people will be able to tell website addresses from surrounding punctuation?
Q. An online course I am building has many references to external websites. How should these be presented? I have been told to use both the name of the website and the URL but neither one should be hyperlinked. This sounds a little weird to me. Is there an official "right" way to do this?
Q. I noticed an article about CMOS that referred to this website address without the "www." See University of Chicago Magazine, August 2003, page 40: "A New Web Site (chicagomanualofstyle.org) . . ." Is this okay?
Q. In a story where the last text provides an URL, website, or email address, should it not have a period at the end? I find sometimes clicking on the URL it does not take one directly to the displayed location if a period follows.
Q. Can you tell me which is preferred—underlining or not—when citing URLs in endnotes?
Q. (cont'd) Thank you! I use MS Word and am looking for a way to turn off the underline.

Related Product Information
Principle of Isolation
- Positive isolation – Dynabeads are mixed with the sample in a tube. The Dynabeads will bind to the target cells during a short incubation, and then the bead-bound cells are separated by a magnet.
- Detachment – wash the positively isolated cells and then add DETACHaBEAD to gently release the cells from the beads.
Description of Materials
Dynabeads CD4 are uniform, superparamagnetic polystyrene beads (4.5 μm diameter) coated with a primary monoclonal antibody specific for the CD4 membrane antigen predominantly expressed on the helper/inducer subset of human T cells. DETACHaBEAD CD4 is a polyclonal anti- Fab antibody specific for the CD4 antibody on the Dynabeads.
Material Supplied
- 5 ml Dynabeads CD4 4 x 108 beads/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.02% sodium azide (NaN3).
- 2 ml DETACHaBEAD CD4
- This product will process up to 2 x 109 cells
Additional Materials Required
- Magnet: (Dynal MPC™) - MPC-S for 20 μl to 2 ml samples, MPC-L (Cat. no. 120.20D) for 1-8 ml samples, MPC-15 (Cat. no. 120.29) for 1-15 ml samples and MPC-50 (Cat. no. 120.24) for 15-50 ml samples.
- Mixer allowing both tilting and rotation.
- Buffer 1: PBS (without Ca2+ and Mg2+ ) w/0.1% BSA and 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.4.
- Buffer 2: RPMI 1640/1% FCS (Foetal Calf Serum).
Important Notes:
- BSA can be replaced by human serum albumin (HSA) or FCS.
- EDTA can be replaced by sodium citrate.
- PBS containing Ca2+ or Mg2+ is not recommended.
Dynabeads Washing Procedure
Dynabeads should be washed before use.
- Resuspend the Dynabeads in the vial.
- Transfer the desired volume of Dynabeads to a tube.
- Add the same volume of Buffer 1, or at least 1 ml, and mix.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
- Remove the tube from the magnet and resuspend the washed Dynabeads in the same volume of Buffer 1 as the initial volume of Dynabeads.
Sample Preparation
Cells can be directly isolated from any sample such as whole blood, bone marrow, MNC or tissue digests.
Whole Blood and Buffy Coat
Most positive isolations can use whole blood and buffy coat as a starting sample. Buffy coat is 8-10 times more concentrated than whole blood with regard to number of leucocytes. For this product you have to wash the blood/buffy coat to remove interfering soluble factors.
- Dilute the whole blood or buffy coat in Buffer 1 (1 part blood/buffy coat to 2 parts Buffer 1).
- Centrifuge at 600 x g for 10 min at 2-8°C. Allow to decelerate slowly.
- Discard the plasma fraction/upper layer. Resuspend blood to the original volume with Buffer 1. Buffy coat should be resuspended to double the original volume with Buffer 1.
- Add the correct volume of beads as shown in Table 1. Please visit www.invitrogen.com for a list of recommended sample preparation procedures.
Critical Steps for Cell Isolation
Use a mixer that provides tilting and rotation of the tubes to ensure Dynabeads do not settle at the bottom of the tube. When incubating Dynabeads and cells, the incubation temperature must be 2-8°C to reduce phagocytic activity and other metabolic processes.
Table 1: Volume of Dynabeads added per cell sample. The volumes can be scaled up as required.
|Vol. of Dynabeads
|25 μl (1 x 107 Dynabeads)
12 μl (5 x 106 Dynabeads)
25 μl (1 x 107 Dynabeads)
|Total no. of cells processed per product
|2 x 109 cells
Positive Isolation of CD4+ T Cells
- Add the appropriate volume of Dynabeads to the prepared sample according to table 1.
- Incubate for 20 min at 2 - 8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 2 min.
- Discard the supernatant and wash the bead-bound cells 3 times by resuspending in Buffer 1 to the original sample volume, and separate using a magnet for 1 min. Never use less than 1 ml Buffer 1 in each washing step.
- Resuspend the bead-bound cells in 100 μl Buffer 2 per 107 MNC in the original sample, or 100 μl Buffer 2 per ml blood in the original sample. Never resuspend in less than 100 μl even if the starting sample is less than 107
MNC or 1 ml blood.
- Add 10 μl DETACHaBEAD per 25 μl (1 x 107) Dynabeads used to isolate the bead-bound cells. Never use less than 10 μl DETACHaBEAD even if less than 107 Dynabeads are used. The amount of DETACHaBEAD can be directly scaled up.
- Incubate for 45 min at room temperature with gentle mixing.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min.
- Transfer the supernatant containing released cells to a fresh tube. To obtain residual cells, wash the beads 2-3 times in 500 μl Buffer 2 and collect the supernatant.
- Wash detached cells thoroughly by resuspending the cells in a total volume of 10 ml Buffer 2 and centrifuge for 6 min at 400 x g to remove DETACHaBEAD.
- Resuspend the cells in Buffer 2 or other media and use in downstream application. The isolated cells are pure, viable and are free from antibody bound to the surface.
This product is stable until the expiry date stated on the label when stored unopened at 2-8°C. Store opened vials at 2-8°C and avoid bacterial contamination. Keep Dynabeads in liquid suspension during storage and all handling steps, as drying will result in reduced performance. Resuspend well before use.

- 4 Rubber "Performance Pads" per deck provide Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Manual Loop, and Sampler
- New "Filter Fade" function for smooth transitions when using the cross fader.
- Large Jog Wheels for precise scratching and mixing capabilities
- Entry level dj controller
Pioneer DDJ SB
Pioneer's DDJ-SB 2-channel DJ controller is designed for use with Serato® DJ Intro software. The DDJ-SB features similar operability as Pioneer's extremely popular DDJ-SX and recently announced DDJ-SR. More compact and portable than the other models, the DDJ-SB is designed for the entry-level DJ who wants the same look and fell as the upper models but with more basic operability and at a more affordable price. The DDJ-SB uses the Serato DJ Intro software and incorporates four performance pads, large jog wheels, and a new Filter Fade function that assists users in smoothly blending together tracks of different styles.
Mixing with Serato
- Serato DJ Intro – The DDJ-SB is packaged with Serato DJ Intro software and its layout mirrors Serato DJ Intro's interface, so getting hands on with the controller's tactile buttons and dials soon become second nature. Serato DJ Intro provides an out-of-the-box experience with Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Sampler and other cool effects. For expanded functionalities and effects, the controller can be used with Serato DJ (optional, paid software) offering users the ability to arrange tracks using Slip Mode, access various effect functions available from iZotope®, and record tracks with DJ mixes using the record function.
- Performance Pads – Four rubber "performance pads" enable DJs to trigger Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Manual Loop and Sampler, while a further four pads give immediate access to Play, Cue, Sync and Shift functions.
- Filter Fade – The new Filter Fade function takes mixing with the crossfader beyond simply fading the volume on one channel up and the other down. By hitting the Filter Fade button, DJs can add two high pass filters to the crossfader. This allows both volume and base filter to be manipulated using just one hand. Seamless mixing becomes effortless, and DJs can use their spare hand to unleash their creativity, triggering samples, loops and cues.
- Professional Design – For a stylish and sophisticated look and feel, the DDJ-SB sports the same premium look as its big brothers, including large (112mm) aluminum jog plates.
Additional Features
- USB Power – The controller can be powered through the USB connection to a laptop.
- Built-in Sound Card (audio interface) – Simple connection to a laptop with a single USB cable.
- Integrated Handles – The controller features grip handles on each side for added convenience.

|It's one of the most common signs of aging -- gray hair. But exactly why does hair turn gray? New research finds that the hair essentially bleaches itself. In younger hair follicles, an enzyme called catalase breaks down naturally-forming hydrogen peroxide. Without that enzyme, the peroxide remains -- and low levels of two other enzymes, MSR A and B, make it difficult for the hair follicles to repair the damage from the peroxide. We'll talk with the Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal, which published the work.

Sterling 1000 Straight Stair Lift
For those looking for minimal track intrusion into the staircase, the Sterling 1000 offers one of the slimmest straight stairlift tracks on the market. Available in a choice of six upholstery colors, it can be supplied with optional powered features to fold the footplate and to swivel the seat at the top of the staircase to allow for ease of exit.
The slim aluminum track has a hidden gear rack which offers two park points (as standard) which charge the batteries at the top and bottom of the stairs. The Sterling 1000 boasts our heaviest weight capacity at 350lb (159kg).
The Sterling 1000 can be combined with a manual or powered hinge solution to prevent the track from obscuring any doorway at the base of the stairs.
If you have difficulty getting up and down stairs you are not alone. Every year thousands of people look for a solution to the problems posed by the difficulty they have using the staircase in their home.
The decision to install a stairlift is sometimes a difficult one to take but when compared with the alternative of moving house, or living on one level of their home, many people have found it to be their preferred option.
The idea of selecting a stairlift and having it fitted may be daunting at first; however they can usually be fitted in a couple of hours and this guide will help explain what you need to think about when choosing your Sterling stairlift from Handicare.
We hope it will make choosing the stairlift that is right for your needs, both now and in the future, much easier.
Using a stairlift
Unless you know someone who is already benefitting from using a stairlift you may be a little unsure of what is involved in owning and using one.
It is a common misconception that stairlifts are fixed to the wall. This is rarely the case with domestic stairlifts which are usually fitted directly on to the staircase itself.
A stairlift has three basic components. First, a track is fitted to your stairs and a power pack (the drive unit) is fitted to the track. Then the seat that most suits your needs is fitted to the power pack.
All stairlifts are operated by a switch or toggle that is held in the direction of travel to make the lift move. When it is released the lift will stop moving.
All Handicare stairlifts are battery powered meaning they can still be used during a power outage.
While stairlifts are very simple to use they are mechanical devices and do benefit from annual servicing and maintenance.
Choosing a stairlift to suit your staircase
Stairlift tracks fall into two basic categories; straight and curved. This page will help you decide which type you need for your staircase.
Straight stairlifts
Straight stairlifts are suitable for use where a stairlift only needs to travel in one straight line; for example from the hall to the landing as shown in diagram A.
Sterling offers a range of straight stairlifts to suit your needs: the Simplicity Series and the Sterling 1000 are detailed on pages 9 - 12.
Curved stairlifts
Curved stairlifts have tracks that are specifically designed to suit staircases that turn corners or are spiral; the staircases shown in diagrams B, C and D are examples of the type of staircase that curved stairlifts can be used on, but there are many more.
All Sterling curved tracks are made to order following a survey of each individual staircase.
Sterling's curved stairlift system is called the Sterling 2000. It is a versatile system with some of the tightest track bends available; it can accommodate a wide range of staircase configurations and will hug the edge of your staircase. The twin rail system provides a safe and smooth ride and while available in two colors as standard, light grey or gun metal, it can actually be supplied in any color to match your decor.
State of the art survey and manufacturing processes mean that Handicare manufactures Sterling custom tracks in market leading timescales.
Straight stairlifts and stair configuration
Straight stairlifts cannot travel around any bend or corner.
Curved stairlift and example stair configurations
Sterling curved stairlifts can travel around corners, across intermediate landings and even up spiral staircases! They are designed for your individual staircase so you know the track will fit snugly while giving you a smooth ride.
Safety as standard
All Sterling stairlifts have safety sensors on the power pack and footplate; these are designed to stop the lift if it meets any obstruction. Once stopped it can only be moved in the opposite direction to the obstruction. All Sterling stairlifts have a diagnostic display so that you can monitor the status of your stairlift, for example if a safety edge has been activated.
Your stairlift will also come with a seat belt as standard for additional peace of mind. On the Simplicity+, 1000 and 2000 our easy release retractable seat belt gives the added flexibility of allowing you to fasten it to one side or centrally, whichever is easier for you or other users. The Simplicity comes with a clip belt as standard.
Easy to use
All Sterling stairlifts are operated by pressing or holding the large, robust toggle switch in the direction of travel.
Located at the end of the seat arm it can be easily operated by the hand or arm and leaves the arm rest clear to provide unhindered support when getting on or off the seat.
Do you need a hinged track?
In order for the seat to get low enough for the user to sit on it is necessary for the track to extend beyond the staircase to the hall floor. Some houses will have a doorway close to the bottom of the stairs and the track may intrude across this. In these circumstances a hinged track should be fitted. This means that the track can be folded away from the doorway giving clear access.
The Sterling Simplicity, Simplicity+ and 1000 are available with a manual hinged track. This means you will need to raise and lower the track manually. However the gas strut assisted hinge is designed to make manual operation as easy as possible.
The Sterling 1000 and the Sterling 2000 are both available with an automatic hinged track. When operating the stairlift from the toggle, the hinge will lift/lower automatically.
When the stairlift is not in use the hinge is folded by holding a button on the remote control which means you do not need to move the track yourself. When the button is pressed your stairlift moves up the track and parks; the hinge section then moves automatically leaving the doorway clear.
Hinge tracks should always be raised when users go upstairs for any period of time, particularly if they are enabling access to the front door of a property or creating an obstacle for other users of the household.
The remarkable Sterling Slide Track from Handicare!
The Slide Track is a ground breaking solution available only from Handicare for use with a Simplicity or Simplicity+ straight stairlift. This unique solution removes the need for a hinge. Instead the track moves up the staircase at the same time as the seat is moving, leaving the doorway at the base of your stairs unobstructed.
Similar to a powered hinge, the Slide Track works automatically when the toggle or remote control is activated.
A Slide Track is slightly shorter than the length of your staircase. When you start to travel up the staircase the track will move with you. The track will reach the top of your stairs before the stairlift, it will stop while your stairlift continues on its journey to the top where you can safely dismount. When you come downstairs the track will travel down with you so you can dismount safely at the bottom.
The Slide Track is fitted with safety sensors at either end; these will halt the track if it encounters an obstacle during use. Your stairlift will continue to move towards the obstacle if desired where, if safe to do so, you can remove the obstruction and continue your journey. Alternatively the track and stairlift can be moved away from the obstruction. The Slide Track also offers safety benefits over a traditional hinged system by removing any risk of an object becoming caught in the hinge.
Swivelling your stairlift seat
When you arrive at the top of the stairs you will need to swivel your seat round so that you exit onto the landing safely.
Manual swivel
If you have a manual swivel you will find a handle at either side of the seat. By pressing either handle down, or pulling it up*, you can swivel the seat around to face the landing, where it will lock in place, allowing you to dismount safely.
* The Simplicity swivel operates by pressing down only.
Powered swivel
If you choose the powered swivel option the swivel is operated by continuing to hold the toggle when you arrive at the top of the staircase. The seat will move automatically while the toggle is activated. Our powered swivels have a manual override for emergency release to improve stairway access if required.
Folding your footplate
The footplate and seat can be folded up to increase available space leaving the staircase as clear as possible for other users.
Manual footplate
Lifted and lowered by hand, manual footplates are fitted with an easy fold mechanism that minimizes the strength required to fold the footplate up or down.
Powered footplate
If you choose the powered footplate option it will remove the need for you to bend down to fold or unfold the footplate. You can choose to have a footplate that folds automatically when the seat is folded and unfolded, or that is operated separately to the seat by a switch in the seat arm so you can raise and lower the footplate while seated.
Parking and calling your stairlift
All Sterling stairlifts come with two remote controls*, so you can have one upstairs and one downstairs. This means you can send your stairlift up and down the track without having to sit on it. This not only allows you to park your stairlift at the top or bottom of the stairs, it is ideal for multi-user situations as your stairlift can be called between levels, just like an elevator.
* Outdoor stairlift comes with one as standard.

Anne Brunton Weeter, 91, Founding Member Of Thomas Jefferson Unitarian Church
Anne Brunton Weeter, 91, of Louisville, passed away peacefully in her home on Oct. 20, 2012, surrounded by her loving family.
Anne was born Aug. 26, 1921, in San Francisco, Calif., to the late Mott Quincy and Anne Sailor Brunton. Her family owned the city's first radio station. She grew up near Golden Gate Park, where she developed an early love of tennis, nature
and the arts.
Anne attended Lowell High School in San Francisco, the University of Oregon and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. She later earned a Master's in Education from Catherine
Spalding College.
She met her husband, the late Dr. John C. "Jack†Weeter, during his general surgery residency training in San Francisco. Their romance began on a blind date at the Claremont Hotel where they attended a tea dance. After their marriage in Louisville they lived in New York City where he completed his specialization in plastic surgery. Anne returned to live in San Francisco while Jack did his military service in the Philippines. They later returned to Louisville where they settled and raised a family of five children. Jack and Anne were married for 55 years.
Anne is survived by Dr. John M. Weeter (Linda), Susan Johnson (Steve), Gregory B. Weeter (Deborah), Julia A. Coash (Tom) and Joanne Weeter (Dr. Martin A. Segal, DMD); 11 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Jack; her brother, John;
and her sister, Helen.
Anne's great gifts were her love of life, her joy in others' successes and her boundless curiosity, gifts that she shared with all of those whose lives she touched. She had an abiding interest in everyone around her, manifested through lively conversations, and an encyclopedic memory of people and their pursuits. She was always game for adventure and had a great passion for learning.
Anne was an avid tennis player, textile artist and a gourmet cook. She began playing tennis as a girl in Golden Gate Park and finished as a perennial champion at the Louisville Boat Club, where she played into her eighties. Anne was an award winning weaver, active in Lou Tate's Little Loom House on Louisville's Kenwood Hill. Anne loved to cook and entertain. She was a great admirer of Julia Childs and any recipe that called for lots of butter. There was always a place at her table for unexpected guests. Anne and her husband were lifelong world travelers and she accompanied Jack on numerous overseas medical missions with Project Hope. She was a member of the League of Women Voters and served on the Louisville-Jefferson County School Merger Committee.
Anne was a founding member of Thomas Jefferson Unitarian Church, a Girl Scout leader, an avid boater, gardener, passionate reader and lifelong patron of the arts. She took a great joy in life and, even more, enjoyed sharing that joy with others.
A memorial service will be held at Thomas Jefferson Unitarian Church, 4936 Brownsboro Road, on Nov. 24, 2012, at 2 p.m. It was her wish to donate her body to the University of Louisville Medical School.

Nina and Leanne.
Elizabeth D. "Beth†Logan, Former Teacher At South Eastern Methodist Church And Docent At The Speed Museum
Elizabeth D. "Beth†Logan, of Longwood, Fla., passed away peacefully in her home on Sept.
18, 2012.
Born Oct. 9, 1947, she attended Concordia Collegiate Institute and Valparaiso in Indiana. She abbreviated her college studies to care for her mother in Louisville. Married in 1971 to Dulaney Covington Logan Sr., for 41 years she supported her husband as he built his company, PSC Corp. She taught classes at South Eastern Methodist Church, and studied painting, sculpture and art history at the University of Louisville. She was a docent at Louisville's Speed Museum. In addition to her artwork in painting and sculpture, she also did intricate needlepoint's and tile paintings that were sold for the benefit of women's empowerment programs
in undeveloped countries.
They moved to Fisherville, Ky. in 1976 where together they built one of the largest lake farms in Jefferson County. The lake was noted by Ducks Unlimited, for being an important migration stop for wild ducks and geese in Jefferson County. She and her husband were initial contributors to the Louisville Zoo and the new Southeast Christian Church, where she volunteered her organizational skills for many years. Fisherville remained the family's home until 2008, when Beth found a new home in Longwood, near Orlando, Fla., where her husband died in April 2012. Beth and Cov Logan also at one time enjoyed a home in Andorra from where they traveled around Europe enjoying language lessons
and further study of art history.
Beth will be sorely missed by all she helped and loved. She lived a life of service and faith, to her husband, to her large and extended family, to her church and to the ideals of her country. Her selfless giving of her time, compassion and massive organizational skills will be remembered by many. She devoted herself to her husband the last five years of his life, keeping him comfortable and motivated. With courage and faith she navigated skillfully the last months of her own life when she discovered, after his death, her own terminal illness. Her life of graceful acceptance and faithful caring will not be forgotten by those she has touched. May Jesus Christ accept her into His loving arms as she has accepted and loved so many other of His creatures.
She is survived by her loving stepchildren, Margaret Logan Morse and her ex-son-in-law Jeff Morse of San Clemente, CA; Frances S. Logan and son-in-law Jerry Laughlin of San Antonio, TX; Dulaney C. Logan, Jr. and daughter-in-law Cathy Logan, grandchildren, Kathryn Elizabeth Logan and Dulaney C.
