ROCKTON — The village will get a major rush this year in the form of a semipro football team.
The Roscoe Rush confirmed it will play home games at the Rockton Athletic Fields.
"We're excited to come to a football community," Rush co-owner Brian Kelly said. "We're going to do more than just play games there, we're going to be heavily involved with the youth football programs in the area, and we're going to offer a scholarship to area seniors."
The Rush is an 11-year-old semipro football team in the Midstates Football League with an overall record of 126-31-1 and three league championships. Last year, the Rush played at Pecatonica High School.
Kelly said the Rush will play six games this year at the Rockton Athletic Fields, and its developmental league team, the Revolution, will play four games. Kelly said for every ticket sold, $1 will be given to the village.
Thanks to a five-year, $650,000 loan taken out by the village, the addition of the Rush is the centerpiece to a slate of additions and enhancements in store this year at the 60-acre riverfront park bordered by Illinois 2, Old River Road and the Rock River.
Permanent bleachers capable of seating 600 people, a press box and lights will be added to the stadium football field.
Outfield wall fencing — a potential source of advertising revenue — will be added to at least one baseball diamond, pathways will be installed throughout the park and the gravel parking lot will be doubled in size to accommodate 400 vehicles, Village President Dale Adams said.
Last year, a $300,000 concessions stand, operated by the Dairyhaus, was added. Kelly and Village Trustee Pat Hoey said plans are in the works to allow alcohol to be served at the Rush games.
The village's new Parks Director Don Self said it is his goal to have the park's four football fields and three baseball diamonds upgraded to competition level.
"The seeding done in the fall hopefully will come in. Germination is kind of its own beast," Self said, noting it may take several years for all the athletic fields to develop a strong root system.
Future additions include a skate park and soccer fields. Adams said he also hopes to have all the athletic fields brought to competition level and ready to capture any overflow tournament games that take place down the road at Sportscore One.
"We've been talking to (Rockford Park District Executive Director) Tim Dimke and (Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau President and CEO) John Groh," he said.
"Ultimately, our goal is to have our parks be self-supported."

The correct answer is: From your blog's dashboard, select the "settings" tab. Next select "formatting" Scroll down to where it says "convert line breaks" and switch the box to yes.ReplyDelete
Dang....thanks for clearing that up. I'll give that a try tonight when I get home from work.ReplyDelete
O.K., Mr. editor....how did I do ? By the way...the box was already switched to 'yes'....I guess I didn't know about the 'return' vs. 'hard return' technique. I'm sure there's a thread on the forum....ReplyDelete
also, when you post your pics choose "center" - this will get rid of the broken script alongside the pic. sorry i didn't take your test - i've alredy been sucked in long enough that i've forgotten how to do anything else! Garro.ReplyDelete

Newlyweds get surprise performance from Rascal Flatts
Newlyweds get surprise performance from Rascal Flatts
WATERTOWN, Wis. —
A couple getting married at the Sugar Island Barn in Wisconsin on Saturday were surprised by some very special guests -- the trio of Rascall Flatts!
Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney were in Wisconsin to perform at the Country USA Oshkosh music festival.
The bride and groom don't know the members of the band, but a spokesman with Sugar Island Barn told WISN that a family member contacted them last October to ask if they would do the honor.
"They said that if they had time they would try and it ended up working out," spokesman Brady Robus said.
Rascall Flatts performed their single "Broken Road" for the newlyweds and their guests.

bitter versus temperature of beer
I find that the beer tastes more bitter when the brew is cold, after it sets for a while and warms up that taste seems to mellow out. I find the beer tastes a lot different at different temperatures. Does anyone know the cause of this, besides alzhimers I mean.

Stunted Taste Buds
It's at least the physiological effect of cold on your taste buds. The cold stuns the taste buds limiting your ability to discern. As the fluid warms it's a different story. This is the reason you should let a beer warm up a bit if you really want to get an idea what it tastes like. As it warms up CO2 comes out of solution which carries the aromas out of the beer into your nose.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate presently in production. Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however numerous modifications were made at the conventional opening of the new model year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. When it comes to at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough distinction to require designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually sustained with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Delaware City DE are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in vehicle history that the Big 3 were needing to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller than the first variation however, due to the added devices required to meet brand-new United States emission and security policies, was much heavier than the very first design. Efficiency was minimized and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Delaware City DE were readily available in between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a third time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was really big enough for four people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles offered consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 rate vehicle and Ford built 10,478 commemorative replicas. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

|Also see the Unit Leader Award of Merit and District Award of Merit
Shortly after the National Eagle Scout Association was established in 1972, it began to make available a NESA Scoutmaster Award. The award was presented to one Scoutmaster per BSA area each year. These Scoutmasters' records demonstrated proper use of Boy Scout advancement, and a significant number of their Boy Scouts attained the Eagle Scout rank. This award was discontinued on December 31, 1987.
The president of the Boy Scouts of America requested that NESA convert its award into a Scoutmaster Award of Merit that could be earned by all Scoutmasters. His rationale was that there is a need for recognizing Scoutmasters relatively early in their work in that position, before they qualify for the Scouter's Key. It is now available to Varsity Coaches as well as Scoutmasters.
The nominee need not be an Eagle Scout but must:
- 1. Be a currently registered Varsity Coach who has served in that position for at least 18 months.
- 2. Have achieved the Quality Unit Award at least once during the period of service.
- 3. Have completed Varsity Leader Fast Start, This is Scouting, Varsity Coach Leader Specific Training, and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills.
- 4. Have a record of proper use of the Boy Scout advancement program, resulting in a majority of Varsity Scouts in the team attaining the First Class rank.
- 5. Have a record of
- Development of youth leadership through the team method
- Positive relations with the team's chartered organization
- An extensive outdoor program including strong summer camp attendance
- A positive image of Scouting in the community
- A troop operation that attracts and retains Varsity Scouts
The chair of the team committee has the responsibility of nominating the Varsity Coach on behalf of the team leaders' council and the team committee.
The nomination is certified by the unit commissioner and forwarded to the local council service center.
The nomination should be approved by the Scout executive and either the council NESA chair or the council commissioner.
The Scout executive will forward the nomination to the director of the National Eagle Scout Association at the national office.
A full-color certificate will be provided by NESA free of charge. A cost of $1.50 per certificate will be charged for a certificate with the recipient's name laser-printed. Payment should accompany the order.
The National Eagle Scout Association will send the certificates to the Scout executive via pouch mail. Please allow two to four weeks for turnaround time.
A full-color, 6-inch jacket patch, No. 00147, is available through the Supply Division.
A square knot (white on tan) for the uniform, No. 05001, is available through the Supply Division.
The award may be presented at an appropriate chartered organization or unit function with acknowledgment at a district or council event or at a district or council recognition event.
Note: Nominees may earn the Varsity Coach Award of Merit one time only.

Many areas of the Peanut Belt, especially in the lower Southeast, experienced poor harvest conditions this year, with excessive rainfall in September and October followed by a stalled tropical storm in November.
Nevertheless, USDA is predicting an average yield that would be the second highest on record, behind last year's crop.
Total production is forecast at 3.63 billion pounds, down slightly from earlier forecasts and down 30 percent from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total 1.08 million acres, down 28 percent from 2008. Yields are expected to average 3,353 pounds per acre, down 73 pounds from the 2008 record yield of 3,426 pounds per acre.
Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina) is expected to total 2.75 billion pounds, down 1 percent from October estimates and down 28 percent from last year. Expected area for harvest, at 825,000 acres, is down 25 percent from 2008.
Yields in the Southeast region are expected to average 3,334 pounds per acre, 98 pounds below last year. Yields are forecast lower than earlier estimates in all Southeast states except Georgia, which remains unchanged at a record high 3,500 pounds. Harvest progress was behind average in most states in the region due to abundant rainfall and wet field conditions.
Virginia-North Carolina production is forecast at 287 million pounds, down 35 percent from 2008. Expected area for harvest, at 78,000 acres, is unchanged from the previous forecast but down 36 percent from last year. The average yield is forecast at 3,685 pounds per acre, 54 pounds higher than the 2008 average. Record-high yields are expected in both states.
As of Nov. 1, Virginia growers had harvested 93 percent of their peanut crop. In North Carolina, however, harvest was only 80 percent complete, due to heavy rainfall and below average temperatures during October.
Southwest peanut production (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) is expected to total 590 million pounds, down 36 percent from 2008. Expected acreage for harvest, at 179,000, is down 36 percent from last year. Yields in the region are expected to average 3,296 pounds per acre, down 14 pounds from the previous year.

Buddy Harston, golf coach for the men's and women's teams a Lipscomb, would like to raise some extra dollars for a couple of projects to help his golf team. He has decided to go the eBay route as well.
Anyone with a golfer on their Christmas gift list will want to go on eBay after Thanksgiving and look for three Masters flags and one Ryder Cup flag. The Masters flags are signed by Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Phil Mickelson. The Ryder Cup flag, from the Valhalla course, is signed by Kenny Perry.
The four players were chosen for more than the fact they have all been stars on the pro tour.
"All four of these guys played college golf," said Harston. "I sent the requests on Bisons athletics letterhead. I had a good feeling about this. Within three days they had each signed a flag and sent I back to me."
Harston was on eBay searching for old baseball cards when he came up with the idea.
"I flipped over to the memorabilia section and saw an autographed Tiger Woods hat was selling for hundreds of dollars. I thought this was a simple idea that could raise some money."

Glimpsed at Hrabowski Celebration: Rhea Feikin
"As I've gotten older, I've realized there's a certain look that's best for me, and it doesn't happen to be the most au courant one," says the Maryland Public Television host.
Feikin strives for a casual elegance with well-made non-fussy pieces that she then embellishes with her fashion faves -- jewelry and scarves.
HER STYLE: "I think it's kind of classic. There are lots and lots of things I keep wearing over and over again."
WHAT SHE'S WEARING: A black silk tunic top she's had for years over a pair of Peter Cohen white silk pants ¿ both from Ruth Shaw. The turquoise satin clutch caught her eye in Nordstrom. The black cashmere wrap with organza is "the only thing in my entire life that I've bought from Gump's catalog," she says.
WHERE SHE SHOPS: "I often will stop into Ruth Shaw, or go there when they call me if they think there's something I'd really like. I'm afraid I do a lot of catalog shopping: Neiman Marcus, Saks. But, I also do J. Jill and J. Crew ¿ whatever comes in my mailbox."

I took this trip back in the beginning of August, but between just sheer laziness (surprise surprise) and starting a new job (yep!) I've only written this now, 3.5 months later in the middle of November. This is only because I just came back from a big trip to Africa, which I can't wait to blog about next!
With that said, my reluctance to blog had nothing to do with Siem Reap itself. The trip was AMAZING! I was happy I finally got to check Angkor Wat off my to-visit list.
Day 1 – Getting to Siem Reap
We flew with Silk Air thanks to a pretty cheap deal from Deal.com.sg and stayed at Royal Empire Hotel, which was only some 10-minutes drive from the airport. We flew in late that day so we spent the day settling into the hotel and headed out to Pub street for dinner as well as booking a tour for the temples the next day.
This Tuk tuk was our mode of transportation throughout the trip. Super cheap and gets you there fast enough! We paid US$2 for a one way trip to the night market area.
Pub street is a very short street at down town Siem Reap that is alive with tourists at night. It's only a short walk from the night market too!
We decided on a restaurant on Pub Street (honestly they all look the same, so we just picked at random) and tried some Cambodian delicacies that night.
Amok Curry – One of the famous dish from Cambodia. We opted to order with chicken but it can also be ordered with fish. This dish was delicious but wasn't too memorable to me – I guess I've had one too many curries!
Beef Lok Kak – Another distinctly Cambodian dish. This was simply AMAZING with the tenderness of the beef and peppery lemon dip on the side! I'm a sucker for anything with black pepper and lemon so this dish gets two thumbs up from me.
I had heard sunrise from Angkor Wat is amazing, so we booked for a guide to pick us up in a tuk tuk at 5am the next day.. soo early, I know, but I was determined to experience Angkor Wat in all its glory!
Day 2 – Angkor Wat
We woke up not-so-bright (was still dark outside) and early at 4:45am, and headed down to the hotel lobby by 5:00am. Our guide and the tuk tuk was already punctually waiting there.
We paid US$40 for the private tour guide and tuk tuk ride to take us around the temples. It was so worth ever penny, and I highly suggest hiring a tour guide considering he: 1) figured out a good way around the temple for us, as well as timing, so we don't get stuck behind big tour groups, 2) told us plenty of history of the temples we would otherwise have never bothered to look up. Furthermore, like most adult Cambodians our guide is a survivor of the Khmer Rouge era so it was interesting to hear the first hand account of it. If you ever go to Siem Reap do call him up:
Mr. Phoun Nak
(855) 092918083
His Yahoo email is tours_nak
So we set out of the lobby at 5:00AM. It took us about 15 minutes to reach the gate to buy our pass for Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples for US$20 per person. We had our pictures taken and printed to the pass on the spot, because the pass are strictly non-transferable.
We then drove to the front of Angkor Wat and our guide showed us a great spot to take pictures, which is right across the water from the actual temple itself. We waited for about 15-20 more minutes more before the sun finally rose up.
It was such a breathtaking scene, witnessing the majestic Angkor Wat slowly bathed in golden sun ray…
Our hotel came with breakfast buffet, and since we set out so early we didn't have time to have breakfast so we requested to be dropped back off at our hotel for a quick breakfast before continuing on to our tour. After that it was pretty much temples after temples. I'm not going to bother writing about everything since I feel like it's something you have to experience yourself, but here are some highlight shots from the temple trek
The trip included some serious climbing, both up and down.
And it was very steep!
My favorite temple has got to be Ta Prohm, which they also used as the location set for Tomb Raider movie. I played the game when I was young and loved Lara Croft!
We finally finished touring the temples at around 3:00pm. I was completely knackered after waking up so early, coupled with all the walking and climbing, that I just passed out cold in the hotel till dinner time, and even that I had to practically be peeled off the bed and dragged out of the hotel.
For dinner we settled on Tangram Garden, which is not exactly uniquely Cambodian but was a real lovely place for dinner. Getting there was a bit of an adventure though, as it was lightly drizzling and our tuk tuk driver couldn't figure out where to drop us off. In the end we recognized some signs and ended up walking there in the middle of dark alleys for a few minutes.
I had their pork ribs with mash and was pleasantly satisfied with my dish!
Day 3 – Chillin' at Siem Reap town
I was still so tired from yesterday's early day, and quite frankly we were all templed-out so we decided to skip all the touristy things and just chill in town. I'm a massage junkie so we checked out one of the massage parlours that got a great review on Trip Advisor and opted for a two-hour massage. The place is called Lotus Dream Spa near Old market.
I've gotten plenty of massages in Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia and this one was by far the best one I've had by far! Although, I guess it was also relatively expensive for a South East asian massage. I paid US$16 for it (including tip) whereas I usually pay ~US$10 in Thailand.
After that we had a chill lunch nearby before heading down to the airport to catch our flight back to Singapore…

(NNPA)—The fight over the increase in the debt ceiling should have taught us a few lessons. These include that there is a wing of the Republican Party—the Tea Party faction—that is quite prepared to fly their planes into the towers of government in order to make their point. They have no interest in compromise and are doing all that they can to defend the wealthy elite that dominates this country, despite their rhetoric about looking out for the common person.
There is something else that we have to face. President Obama accepted the basic Republican framework for looking at the economic crisis in which we find ourselves. Thus, instead of focusing on jobs, Obama began, some months ago, to talk more and more about national debt and budget deficits. At a point when the government should be putting more resources into the production of jobs as a way of priming the economic pump, President Obama called for shared sacrifice in the need to cut the debt. This was compounded by his willingness to concede most of the demands of the Republicans as the price for gaining the rise in the debt ceiling. The irony, of course, is that the Republican shennigans, and the instability that this displayed, contributed to the S&P downgrade and the subsequent, renewed financial crisis. So, instead of the President standing firm in defense of our hard-won social benefits and insisting that without a clear debt ceiling increase from Congress that he would use the Constitution's 14th Amendment to increase it unilaterally, he blinked, and sadly, the Republicans knew well in advance that he would.
Leaving aside your personal feelings about President Obama one thing becomes perfectly clear. There is no way that we can rely on him to defend the social safety net that was won in the 20th century, nor is there any way that we can assume that he 'gets' the centrality of the need for jobs in order to get us out of the economic crisis. Whether this is due to his ties with Wall Street, his belief system, or his poor negotiating skills is actually irrelevant. What we have to recognize is that if we want any action out of the President, the everyday person will need to be the ones that brings this about.
How? We will have to make more noise than the Tea Party element. We will need to have protests, not just in Washington, D.C., but throughout the USA. The unemployed need to assemble in state capitals and insist that they will not be allowed to starve. Workers facing layoffs and demands for concessions must receive support from the rest of us so that they are not standing alone. And, yes, in 2012, we must run and support candidates that have a demonstrated record of being on the side of working people and the poor. We do not need those who will talk out of both sides of their mouths and offer us heart-warming speeches. We need politicians who are with us in the trenches, fighting the good fight. The decisions about our economy will be made both in Washington and in corporate board rooms. If working people do not make their voices heard and flex their muscles—in the streets and in the election booths—just guess who will come out on top?

Earlier this week, ConAgra sealed a deal to buy Ralcorp for $5 billion or $90 per share in cash, a premium of 28 percent to Ralcorp shares' closing price on Monday.
The deal will transform ConAgra into the top U.S. producer of store-branded foods – and marks a victory for ConAgra Chief Executive Gary Rodkin, who began pursuing Ralcorp in March 2011 with an offer of $82 per share. Read More: ConAgra Seals Ralcorp Deal With $5 Billion Handshake
But will the bet pay?
Jim Cramer thinks it will.
"I've liked ConAgra ever since earlier this year when it became clear that commodity cost inflation was moderating," said the Mad Money host. "And with this acquisition, ConAgra just gave us another huge reason to own the stock."

Lakers, city will split costs of victory parade
June 14, 2009 | 8:12 pm
Neither the Orlando Magic nor a disintegrating city budget managed to forestall the Lakers' victory parade, which is scheduled to follow a two-mile route from Staples Center to the Coliseum on Wednesday.
The Lakers defeated the Magic on Sunday night, 99-86, to win the NBA championship, but their resounding win did little to quell the griping about who should pay for the celebration.
The growing public debate about the cost of the traditional parade took place against a backdrop of city workers facing layoffs and mandatory furloughs, while fervent basketball fans demanded an opportunity to salute their hometown heroes.
In the end, everybody won and everybody pays.
Both the team and the city will kick in about $1 million each for the festivities, which for the first time includes the significant cost of renting the Coliseum. The Lakers worked with city officials to keep costs down, including ruling out a weekend celebration or a longer parade, according to Tim Harris, the Lakers' senior vice president for business operations and chief marketing officer.
The city will pay for police, transportation and general staff, said Matt Szabo, spokesman for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The mayor said Sunday that to not hold a parade "is untenable," even as city officials have been meeting behind closed doors to find hundreds of millions of dollars in budget cuts. (Note: An earlier version of this post referred to the mayor's spokesman as Mark Szabo.)

Gov. Pat McCrory hopes a South Korean company locating to Thomasville will be part of what he called a "Carolina comeback" in manufacturing.
Gov. Pat McCrory hopes a South Korean company locating to Thomasville will be part of what he called a "Carolina comeback" in manufacturing.
McCrory announced Friday that Custom Nonwovens Inc. will locate its first North Carolina plant in the Chair City. The company, which will move into an existing building on Sunrise Center Drive, plans to create 72 jobs and invest about $12.8 million over the next three years, McCrory said.
"We might have you build a new cushion for the chair in downtown Thomasville," McCrory joked to Harry Kim, who will serve as the Thomasville plant's manager.
Custom Nonwovens develops and manufactures polyester nonwoven pads and rolls through a thermal bonding process. Workers at the Thomasville plant will manufacture a new production line of fire retardant barriers and mattress pads for use in cushion seatings for medical, military and institutional applications, local and state officials said.
The Davidson County Economic Development Commission has been working with the company since January. EDC Executive Director Steve Googe said company officials originally sought a banking relationship. After that was set up, they came back and worked with the EDC to find a building in the area.
Custom Nonwovens will move into a building at 113 Sunrise Center Drive, which is in an industrial park setting. The building once housed Automotive Motors of Thomasville.
"It's been sitting empty for a long time, and it's a great building," Googe said. "We've shown it 25-30 times."
The company, formerly identified as Project Soft, is eligible for local and state incentive packages, if it meets job and investment requirements. The Davidson County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a total of about $172,800 in possible tax-rebate incentives earlier this year. Custom Nonwovens was also approved for a performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund of up to $128,000.
The average annual wage for the new jobs will be about $46,000, plus benefits, which is about $12,000 higher than the county's average wage. In addition, Googe said the company is not expected to transfer many existing employees to the new facility, meaning most hires will be new workers.
Kim said the company is looking to start operations in the facility by November.
"We will do our best to be a leader of this community and a leader of this industry," Kim said.
McCrory made the announcement Friday as part of a statewide manufacturing day tour, which had stops and announcements in four other counties. He said the state cannot just thrive on service and government jobs and needs manufacturing to rebound.
"I think manufacturing and agriculture are part of the way we get out of this recession," McCrory said.
Davidson County's unemployment rate was about 8.7 percent in August, according to figures released recently by the North Carolina Department of Commerce. There are about 7,400 people unemployed in the county.
The county, and especially Thomasville, has been impacted by various closures of major manufacturing employers, including Thomasville Furniture Industries.
In the first quarter of 2013, about 56 percent of the people employed in the private sector in Davidson County were employed in the manufacturing or goods producing industries, compared to about 85 percent a decade ago, according to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Secretary of Commerce Sharon Decker and North Carolina Community College System President Dr. Scott Ralls also attended the announcement, which was held at Davidson County Community College's Mary E. Rittling Conference Center.

In case some of you are busy: Are Amalgam-Type Fillings Safe? Over the past several years, concerns have been raised about silver-colored fillings, otherwise called amalgams. Because amalgams contain the toxic substance mercury, some people think that amalgams are responsible for causing a number of diseases, including autism, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. The American Dental Association (ADA), the FDA, and numerous public health agencies say amalgams are safe, and that any link between mercury-based fillings and disease is unfounded. The causes of autism, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis remain unknown. Additionally, there is no solid, scientific evidence to back up the claim that if a person has amalgam fillings removed, he or she will be cured of these or any other diseases. As recently as March of 2002, the FDA reconfirmed the safety of amalgams. Although amalgams do contain mercury, when they are mixed with other metals, such as silver, copper, tin, and zinc, they form a stable alloy that dentists have used for more than 100 years to fill and preserve hundreds of millions of decayed teeth. The National Institutes of Health has several large-scale studies currently under way to ultimately answer many of the questions raised about silver-colored amalgams. Results of these studies are expected to be released in 2006. In addition, there has been concern over the release of a small amount of mercury vapor from these fillings, but according to the ADA, there is no scientific evidence that this small amount results in adverse health effects.

The 'outside in' Residence in Yamanashi, Japan

Takeshi Hosaka architects designed this unique residence located in Yamanashi, Japan that is called the "outside in" resicence. This project aimed to mix the outdoors with the indoors, inserting nature inside the house and if we look closely at the structure of the building the indoor and outdoor spaces seem to dissolve in each other. The inside of the house has elements and scenes from the nature which make the entire atmosphere seem fresh and peaceful. The house it's a…

BrikWars battles are fought across the entire spectrum of imaginable environments. If it can be built, or even half-assed represented with a tablecloth thrown over some books, it's fair game. All that matters is that minifigures get to beat the snot out of one another in the coolest setting possible.
"NEEDS BASEPLATES" - Pesgores
Baseplates are plates that are thinner than normal that can serve as bases for Brikreations or other stuff.
Pesgores insists that all creations need baseplates to be cool, especially battlefields, but no one really cares.
Baseplates come in several varieties of sizes: 32 x 48, 32 x 32, and 48 x 48 are just some of them. Some 32 x 32 and 32 x 48 baseplates have patterns like roads, rivers, and some have raised sections. These last kind are called raised baseplates.
Planetary Classes
Planetary Classes represent, outside of space battles and inter-dimensional phenomena, the most fundamental battlefields on which armies can clash. They are the types of worlds Factions and Forces come from.
A BrikWorld is, very simply, a naturally occurring planet belonging to the BrikVerse. Usually, these planets are spawned from the universe itself but are on rarest occasion dumped into the BrikVerse from another universe during some MultiVersal event. A planet thus displaced only becomes a BrikWorld in the truest sense when the universal Legitimitium has taken root and converted the majority of the planet to studs and briks.
A FringeWorld is a planet that resides in "fringe" space, that is, a planet in the most remote regions of space, at the edges of galaxies or sectors. FringeWorlds are often highly isolated by vast distances or strange celestial phenomena, from one another and from the rest of the universe. They don't see much use on the main intergalaktik stage but serve as excellent vacation spots, secret laboratories and training centers, and invasion platforms. Many, however, are completely unknown to any but the natives.
A HomeWorld, sometimes called a MotherPlanet or some similar variation, is the central birthing place or staging area for a given culture or faction. HomeWorlds are often vast and resourceful, filled with all the goodies a faction needs to wage war on other planets and systems. In most cases, unless special measures are taken, those resources become thinner the farther out a faction ranges away from their HomeWorld. This, in combination with reality twisting Koincidence, has lead to the general intergalaktik territorial power structure, perhaps best exemplified in the Galaxia Nehellenium, seen in the BrikVerse.
A HubPlanet is a world littered with generally geo-stationary portals and gateways, natural or minifig made. These portals might lead to others of like kind on the same planet, they might lead to StarDoors halfway across the universe, or they might even lead to alternate dimensions. These worlds serve as the hub, or central point, for these portal networks and are often used militarily for their sheer tactical versatility.
Urban Classes
Urban classes represent areas of developed civilization. These are often composed of a concentrated populace living among the various Structures used as terrain in warfare.
A village is a small community, often one of many scattered throughout an otherwise rural area. Villages are mostly residential and do not contain many of the fancier structures seen in larger settlements. Minifigs from these places can be some of the most dangerous and savage enemies to encounter, owing to their backward ways and fierce territoriality concentrated into a mob mentality.
Towns are quaint little settlements that have moved somewhat beyond backwater savagery and hunger for more sophisticated violence. They often fall short of the mark as they don't have quite the resources they'd like to pretend they do. Towns are often half-assed and clumsy, their ham-handed attempts at trying to look important even stymied by their own infighting and backbiting. Towns are rarely taken seriously.
Cities are where most of the real work gets done. They're large enough to have access to a wide assortment of structures and other resources and they have a sizable populace ready and trained for some serious violence. While cities have a solid polish, they lack the true power necessary to effect much change beyond their own domain.
Metropolises are the capital cities of large regions. It is here that most seats of power reside before coming to the country, kingdom, or empire level of power. A metropolis not only has access to all the structures and resources it can devise or take from somewhere else, it has multiple redundancies as well. Metropolises engage in gross decadence, indulging in every flavor of the same treat. Citizens of these grand cities often take everything around them for granted and have more StarFucks in which to do battle with bitchy barristas than a person could shake Poo on a Stick at.

The mystical novels of Vicente Blasco-Ibanez were much prized by ambitious silent filmmaker Rex Ingram, who filmed two of them in the 1920s, both ostensibly vehicles for his actress wife Alice Terry. The first of the two, Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, was infinitely more successful than the second (Mare Nostrum), a fact that can be attributed to two little words: Rudolph Valentino. The quintessential Latin Lover stars as Julio, the scion of a wealthy Argentinian family. During the years prior to World War I, Julio's relatives relocate to Germany and France, with Julio opting for the latter country, where he opens an art studio. Here he carries on a torrid affair with Alice Terry, the wife of an attorney. When World War I breaks out, Terry joins the Red Cross and her husband enlists in the army, while the carefree Julio avoids involvement in the conflict. Only when visited by the spectres of the Four Horseman--war, conquest, famine, and death--does Julio don a uniform. His death is a symbolic sacrifice on behalf of Ms. Terry, whose husband has been blinded in the war: and, in an additional symbolic grace-note, Julio dies at the hands of his own cousin, now a German officer. The film's Big Money sequence was the one in which Rudolph Valentino danced the forbidden tango in a dingy, smoke-filled Argentinian cantina. That's what made him a star, not all that mumbo-jumbo about fate, destiny, and Four Horsemen. Proof that Valentino and not Blasco-Ibanez was the principal drawing card of this film was the 1962 remake, in which Glenn Ford portrays Julio. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Russian ex-spy Anna Chapman walked a Turkish catwalk in a long red dress at a fashion show, flanked by two men posing as secret service agents in black suit and sunglasses. Designer Hikmet Eraslan said his Dosso Dossi clothing company donated to Chapman's charity foundation for children with poor eyesight in Volgograd in return for her appearance on June 8, 2012.
The 30-year-old Chapman was deported from the United States in 2010 along with nine other Russian sleeper agents. She appeared on the runway in the Mediterranean city of Antalya, a top Turkish vacation destination. Chapman has been keeping a high profile since her deportation to Russia, modeling, editing a magazine, giving lectures and running her charity foundation. In this photo taken June 8, Chapman walks a Turkish catwalk at a fashion show in Antalya, Turkey.

Pumpkin Pie Tarts with Dark Chocolate Frosting Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 Entry #4
Pumpkin and chocolate! This isn't a combination we see very often, but whenever we do it looks so good. Hillary put chocolate and pumpkin together for her entry in this Bakeoff and we like how it looks. Hillary says it's the best pumpkin pie she's ever tasted; read on to see more about how she created these cute tarts.
Where is this recipe from? Where is this recipe from?: I got the recipe originally from Superior-Sales.com. They are the vendor for the pie pumpkin I bought so I used their recipe. I then submitted my adaptation to Recipe4Living.com. I then blogged about it here.
Why is this the BEST pie recipe you've got? Because it's actually the best pumpkin pie I have ever tasted! I don't usually like pumpkin pie but I thought it would be fun to try baking one and it came out fantastic! I added the chocolate element.
Pumpkin Pie Tarts with Dark Chocolate Frosting
1 1/2 C. pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
3/4 C. honey
1/2 C. heavy cream
1/2 C. sour cream
2 eggs (separate whites from yolks)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
dash ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. allspice
1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust or 6-12 mini tart crusts
chocolate frosting for decoration
In a large mixing bowl, mix heavy cream, sour cream, pumpkin puree (see How To Make Pumpkin Puree), honey, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Crack eggs and separate yolks from whites. Beat yolks and add them to the batter and mix. Beat egg whites separately until bubbly and stiff. Fold into the pumpkin pie mixture.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour pie mixture into pre-made crust or 6-12 mini tart crusts. Fill to the top but do not overfill. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Let cool and frost with dark chocolate frosting as desired.

Daughter-in-law has the shower curtain, which she loves, and thought I'd get the hand towel to go with it. Didn't give it to her. The photo shows the entire towel, not what it looks like folded. When folded you only see some of the "splatters" on the bottom. If you turn it around the zebra's head is upside down. The way it's currently being produced, it isn't a suitable image for a hand towel.

This one was giving me quite a problem. I really didn't like the "second" horse (the smaller of the two) but didn't know what to do, so left it sitting for about 6 months. But the rearing one really saved it. I think the brown was a lot better then the original white horse I had. It has since become one of my favorites.
05-19-17: Due to the injury of my index finger I can no longer work the hours I used to so I'm working on very short timelines. What that means is that it's going to take me a lot longer to get anything done. You never realize how important a thing like a finger is until you damage it!!! Bear with me, I will post anything new as I finish them. Also, I would like to let all the groups that I belong to know that I'm trying to catch up on everything - considering I lost about a year in total where I really couldn't do much. Sorry for the influx. 07-07-16: Will be absent again due to a torn tendon in my right hand (index finger). Will be gone for at least 8 weeks 04-09-16: I just want to let every one know that I will probably be absent...

A Veterans' Day Story: JFK's Visit to Cheyenne Mountain
"We were testing electronic equipment for North American Air Defense Command (NORAD)," my dad recalled years later. "We got word that President Kennedy was coming to visit."
"It so happens that when JFK was coming to visit that the colonel [his boss] had a leave scheduled at that time. I said to him, 'You're not going to go on leave?" He said that sure he was going. "But what if the President comes over here? You know, the equipment isn't operating correctly, not yet anyway." The salty-tongued colonel replied, "You tell him, 'No speake de English. I'm going on vacation.' "
Sure enough, the colonel went on his leave. "The [NORAD] generals sent their people over and said, 'Hey, can't you install and operate a program for the President?' And, I said to them, 'Well, the colonel is…on leave and I'm not going to fake anything. If he comes over here, we'll tell him the truth about the project and show him anything he wants to see.'
Based on that information, the NORAD generals decided not to bring the President over to see the new equipment.
"When JFK arrived, we were on the second floor, and we could see him through a big picture window below talking to the NORAD generals. You could tell he was arguing about it because he was pointing to our building. He wanted to see the new equipment. The generals offered to give him a tour of the old equipment and he finally agreed."
A few months later, JFK was assassinated on that fateful day in Dallas on November 22, 1963. My brother remembered my mom crying after hearing the news on television as she was rolling up her hair that morning.
Fast forward nearly 30 years, decades after my dad retired as a lieutenant colonel from the Air Force. It's Christmas 1991, and my dad is telling my family this incredible story about almost meeting the President of the United States.
"That's the story of JFK," he concludes. "I've seen JFK. I've seen Roosevelt, and shook President Carter's hand [later, he would see President Clinton, too.]"But it wasn't his near-meeting with a President that had me rapt. In our own spin-dominated era, things like the facts and truth too often seem to be beside the point. Too many people are willing to bend the rules or warp the facts to suit their motives.But when I clear away the cynicism, though, what remains is deep pride. Pride to have such a father who would not only honorably serve his country for 25 years, but who would also courageously stand up for the truth and refuse to "fake it," even for the President, his ultimate commanding officer.
Happy Veterans' Day, Dad. I love you and I'm proud of you!
2 Responses
Sheryl – a sweet tribute to your dad and a reminder that kids learn the ethics we live our lives by. The one instance that he wouldn't "pretend" so his commanding officers would look good for the president is probably just a single example of the tone he set through his life, and that's why this story exemplified it for you. Congrats on having such a dad!

SOPA/PIPA: How Far We've Come; How Far We Need To Go
from the not-over-yet dept
The next day, October 27th, a small group of entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and creators spent the day meeting with members of Congress to express our concerns about the bill (which we'd just seen the afternoon before), as well as the whole approach to the crafting of both bills. The one thing we heard over and over again that day: "well this is the first time we've heard anything about this from the internet community."
I think it's safe to say that's no longer the case.
As I type this, I'm taking that same flight, preparing for my debate tomorrow over these bills against an MPAA representative and a US Chamber of Commerce representative, I'm sitting in that same cramped seat (actually, I think I'm on the opposite side of the plane), and thinking just how far we've come in just three and a half months.
Make no mistake: when the Senate introduced PIPA in May, it was widely assumed that this bill, and any companion bill would sail through Congress easily. Sure, some "tech-friendly" officials may express some concerns, but, as one lobbyist told me directly, "no one takes you people seriously anyway." It was this kind of hubris that we saw throughout the year with these bills. We were told repeatedly to shut up and take it, because the bills were going to pass, Obama would sign them, and piracy would magically disappear.
Instead, a funny thing happened on the way to the death of the internet: the internet woke up. While folks online may be political, it's not often that they truly get activated over internet-related issues. But in an era of bottom-up movements facilitated online, the timing was absolutely right for the massive groundswell of support from all corners of the internet to suddenly speak out in near unison to say of these bills: DO NOT WANT.
Still more to do:
At this point, it's impossible to deny that we, as a group, have had an impact. Contrary to the claims of some of the bill's supporters, we showed that this isn't just a "Google" issue. This is an internet issue. And we care about the internet and we care about innovation, and we're not going to take it lightly when elected officials, who admit they don't understand the technology, come along to say they're going to mess with it, just because their biggest campaign donors don't want to adapt to these wonderful new innovations.
But, not everyone in Congress has an understanding of what's happening online. Even with Reps. and Senators backing away from the bills, and asking leadership to slow things down... and even with Rep. Smith and Senator Leahy trying to "delay" the DNS implementation in order to get the bills passed... some in Congress still think that the outcry is minor or limited or that it's all Google.
That's why Harry Reid intends to move forward with the bill, pretending that the complaints only come from Google and Facebook... and that they're minor and easily fixed with a couple of amendments. I believe he's misjudged the internet, just as many others in Congress have misjudged the internet over the last few months. The people speaking out are not just "Google and Facebook," and they're not just speaking out for the hell of it. They're seriously pissed off at Congress for even thinking of going down this path in the first place, and simply killing the bills is unlikely to get the people online back on their side.
But there's a bigger point in the "more to do" section of this post. This isn't about one bill. This isn't about one issue. This is about an entire process. This is about the public -- not the big corporations -- finally saying "enough is enough" and making Congress recognize that crony capitalism, where subsidies and protectionism are doled out willy nilly to favorite campaign contributors, is not acceptable to the people they're supposed to represent.
This is about recognizing that the internet and the massive amount new innovation and services -- and the worldwide ability to communicate with others -- is a game changing innovation for everyone. And we're going to work damn hard to make sure that it remains open and free.
But, to do that right, this is going to take much more than stopping one bill. This is going to take prolonged effort. This is going to take an ongoing effort to make it clear that no elected official can ever again feel comfortable bragging that they don't understand the internet, as they seek to regulate it. This is about making it 100% crystal clear to those who seek to clamp down on the true engine of free expression -- the internet -- that we, the people, aren't going to be fooled with bogus claims and bogus stats in an effort to limit this wonderful platform.
This isn't over yet -- not by a long shot. But just look at how far we've come in just three and a half months, and think what we'll do in the next few months -- and years -- ahead. These bills tried to kill the "internet as we know it." But, in some ways, these bills helped birth a new kind of internet: one that doesn't let Congress screw it up without taking action.

Make An Offer
The first step to becoming a member is to submit your offer. There are three financial components to an official offer:
- per point price
- closing costs (traditionally, buyers pay closing costs due to sellers paying the sales commission)
- current year dues (typically, during Right of First Refusal, Disney likes to see buyers contributing towards current year dues when receiving current year points).
To make an offer, fill out the form below and we will confirm receipt of your offer shortly. Once we have confirmed receipt of your offer, we will immediately present your offer to the seller. Please be aware that the DVC market is very active and we are duty bound to present all offers until the seller has accepted an offer or until a full price offer has come in.
Closing Costs
Closing costs are an estimate only. The closing costs on most DVC resales will vary depending on the dollar amount of purchase. These costs will include title search, title insurance, administrative fees and recording fees (deed and any other pertinent documents). The closing costs are paid to the title company or attorney at closing. If you are financing your purchase, additional fees charged by the lender will range from $400-$450.
Resale Policy
Please read before making an offer: Your Disney Vacation Club points purchased on resale can be used for accommodations at all DVC resorts, as well as for RCI exchanges (World Passport). Members who purchase from anyone other than Disney, on or after March 21, 2011, are not be eligible to use their DVC points to make reservations for the Concierge or Disney Collection options such as Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, or select Disney resorts. Further, as of April 4, 2016, you will not have access to other DVC incidental benefits (also known as Membership Extras) such as Member discounts on dining, shopping, Member-exclusive events, and certain special Member offers. Effective February 25, 2018, to be eligible for Membership Extras, Members must own and maintain a minimum of 75 Vacation Points purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc. All Members who are eligible for Membership Extras as of February 24 will not be impacted by the 75-Vacation Point requirement, as long as they continue to meet the previously implemented eligibility requirements. Do not purchase your Ownership Interest in reliance on access to or the ability to transfer these Disney Vacation Club incidental benefits. Incidental benefits may be limited, modified, supplemented, or terminated at any time. CHANGES TO DVC RESALE POLICY: WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
The Buying Process
When an offer is accepted, we prepare the contracts and email them to you. At this time, you will need to sign and return the contracts to us and also send your deposit to the title company. Once signed contracts are received and a deposit is on record with the closing company, we then forward all contracts to Disney to start the ROFR process.
It takes Disney approx. 30 days to approve a sale. When Disney approves your contract, it then takes approx. 4 weeks for the title company to get the transaction to closing. At closing, the remainder due will need to be a certified bank check or bank wire transfer to the title company (international buyers). Once the sale has closed, it takes Disney approx. 14 days to set up your new membership. Its a very easy process for buyers and we keep you updated every step of the way!
For your protection, all closings are handled by licensed, bonded, and insured title companies and/or real estate attorneys well-versed in DVC closings.

'You Are Here,' filmed in Triad, to premiere in September
'You Are Here,' filmed in Triad, to premiere in September
A feature film that shot scenes in five Triad counties last year is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
"You Are Here" will premiere at the world-renowned festival, which runs from Sept. 5-15. The exact premiere date won't be known until late August, said officials with the Piedmont Triad Film Commission.
The movie spent 3 months filming in Forsyth, Guilford, Davie, Rockingham and Surry counties. The project was estimated to have an $8 million economic impact.
The movie is the first from Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner and stars Wilkes County native Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Amy Poehler.

By: Ryan Jaroncyk, THL Contributor
U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson (R) intends to sponsor legislation calling for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Johnson stated that he is working closely with a bipartisan group, including fellow Republican Dr. Ron Paul, and Democrats, Jim McGovern and Jerry Costello, to craft withdrawal legislation.
At a recent town hall meeting, he explained the reasoning behind his position:
"I want to protect America, but I don't want to lose lives senselessly... and we cannot police the world."I'm suggesting to you that there is no end-game. I believe that our men and women are there in a mission that is ill-defined. I think we're losing people by the day, here and over there, with no even indirect relationship to our national security."We've had a succession from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan, and the net result has been thousands of lives lost, and very little progress made."I'm in favor of doing everything we can to make America secure, to make sure we don't have another 9/11 or anything even analogous to that, but I'm also convinced that our presence in Afghanistan is not serving that role..."
Despite the exploding budget deficit, skyrocketing national debt, falling Dollar, spiking casualty counts, and increased psychological ailments suffered by our troops, most Republicans will probably continue to support further troop escalation.
Even President Obama, who advocated 21,000 additional troops earlier this year, will likely oppose Johnson's pending, bipartisan legislation.
Neither Peters nor Will advocates a full-fledged withdrawal. Will has called for a small contingent of special ops, targeted drone, cruise missile, and air strikes, and a constant naval presence outside Afghanistan to closely monitor Al-Qaeda.
Peters largely agrees, though he is more open to an additional contingent of a small number of ground troops on Afghanistan soil to prevent Al-Qaeda from re-establishing training bases. Both reject a large number of ground troops, further troop escalation, and the open-ended commitment of nation building.
And would such a strategy, as opposed to a full-scale withdrawal, prove more palatable to those in Congress who may be quietly opposed to current war efforts, as well as further troop escalation?

Buzzing about overnight was a potential scoop coming from Japan's Nikkei newspaper. Citing unnamed sources, a report on its website Friday says Larry Summers will be tapped to become the next Fed chief by President Obama, possibly by the end of next week. The report says the Summers nod could follow the Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Treasury Undersecretary Lael Brainard, a former economic adviser under the Clinton administration, is set to be named vice chairman of the central bank, the reports adds.
Stock futures did nothing on the news, but the dollar got a bump, even if a short-lived one, and gold got dinged further. The faded gains for the dollar could be linked to the fact some were looking askance at such important news being leaked to the — shudder — Nikkei Daily.
And the White House denied the report, albeit in couched terms that leave open the possibility the Nikkei report will come true, with this tweet from a spokeswoman.
Fed watchers: the latest rumors this morning in the Japanese press aren't true – POTUS has not yet made a decision on Fed Chair.
— Amy Brundage (@Brundage44) September 13, 2013
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who is deep in the thick of the selection process for the next Fed chief, has met with both Summers and his presumed fellow front runner, Janet Yellen.
Since when can Japan's Nikkei predict the next Fed chairman!? Nikkei says #Summers and everyone buys it. Nikkei said Fukushima was fine too.
— Russian Market (@russian_market) September 13, 2013
One trader at a Japanese bank in Singapore told a Malaysian business paper he found it all kind of dubious.
"You have to wonder just how credible it is. I mean it would be understandable if the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal were reporting this."
That news came after the second-ranking Republican in the Senate told the Journal in an interview Thursday that he'd oppose a Summers nomination:
"Temperamentally, he's really unsuitable for that job," Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R., Texas). "Given his role in the first two years of the president's first term of office, and the failed stimulus, and his whole approach to getting the economy growing … I would not support" his nomination.
Cornyn's beef, like that of others, is Summers's role in helping to create stimulus legislation aimed at lifting the economy out of recession, when he was directing Obama's National Economic Council. At least three Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee are also due to oppose any Summers bid. The New York Times was among those coming down hard on Summers as an appointee recently, ticking off his failures, along with his conduct and judgment in crises. Yellen, said blogger Joseph E. Stiglitz, is a no-brainer.
Some say Obama may not want to risk a vicious confirmation hearing, which could mean Yellen wins in the end. Then there are the complications surrounding Syria that could also be a ding against Summers, and then there's that potential Citigroup banana peel.
Does it matter who takes over? Definitely yes, says Stanley Druckenmiller. Definitely no, says Peter Schiff, who likened it earlier this week to "choosing how you want to be executed." He argues that no matter who takes over as Fed chief, the central bank isn't going to be able to stop those quantitative-easing bond purchases anytime soon. Druckenmiller, however, says this will be one of the biggest pieces of news to hit investors in ages, and he's actually putting his trading on ice until the decision is made.
On Twitter, the Nikkei report didn't exactly inspire any warm fuzzy feelings for Larry.

People who are on their feet for long periods, have a family history of varicose veins, or women who have been pregnant are most prone to suffer from this problem. Varicose veins are the result of reflux (blood backing up and flowing in the wrong direction) in the great saphenous vein, the longest vein in the body running along the length of the leg. The blood pools, resulting in pressure, pain, and other symptoms. Spider Veins: Spider veins are like varicose veins, but are smaller. These types of veins are small, red, blue, or purple and they commonly appear on the surface of the thighs, calves, and ankles. Spider veins can occur in nests or alone. They can be related to varicose veins. Chronic Venous Insufficiency: Longstanding elevation of pressure in the veins of a leg can cause serious problems, such as swelling, ulceration, skin thickening, and discomfort. Treatment Options Our surgeons at Baystate Vascular Services, with offices in both Springfield and Greenfield, Massachusetts, will evaluate your condition to determine the best treatment plan for your condition. They are experienced in the following: Venous Ablation Therapy: Our vascular surgeons now use minimally-invasive venous ablation technology to cauterize unsightly and bulbous varicose veins. We offer the only Our board-certified vascular surgeons in western Massachusetts performing venous ablation; they have performed several thousand procedures with great success. Laser Therapy and Radiofrequency Ablation: Minimally invasive laser therapy may be an available treatment option for varicose and spider veins. This laser therapy works by delivering laser energy through a small puncture in the leg to close the diseased vein. The VNUS radiofrequency catheter works in a similar manner. With endovenous therapy, no major surgery is required. Traditional Surgery/Vein Stripping/Phlebectomy: The traditional treatment for varicose veins is surgically removing - or stripping - them. Patients are fully sedated for this procedure, which is performed in an operating room. This procedure is used much less commonly than in the past, and is reserved only for the most complex cases. Less invasive stab phlebectomy can also be used to remove secondary abnormal veins. In this procedure, which is often performed under local anesthesia, the surgeons makes small incisions and uses a small hook is used to grasp the abnormal vein, pull it though the incision, and remove it. Incisions are often closed with adhesive strips, or occasionally with a small suture.
