London's Islamic Mayor Has Women Do This: Get ready to be depressed.
Talk about going back in time. I guess we should feel lucky we don't live in Europe, specifically in London. Talk about the real war on women.
In an effort to bolster the ailing Remain campaign, newly elected London Mayor Sadiq Khan has gone on a road trip across the country to try and boost support for remaining in the European Union (EU).
A photograph from one of Mr. Khan's speeches in Manchester posted on the Guido Fawkes blog reveals that in at least one of his speeches, meant to galvanise Labour voters in the north of England, women were excluded from the front row and relegated to the periphery of the event.
Mr. Khan is said to be attempting to distance himself from the government's official campaign that has been dubbed "project fear", and is expected to tell Labour voters in the party's northern heartlands that voting to remain in the EU is the "positive, proud and patriotic thing to do," the Evening Standard reports.
The London mayor said: "I am backing Remain because it's by far the best option for protecting working people's jobs, wages and rights…the world won't end if we leave Europe — but it won't be in Londoners' interests or the interests of working people."
It is not the first time that a Labour event has seen the segregation of women. The party has often been accused of pandering to hard-line Muslims, with a number of incidentsbeing revealed last year.
The Mayor has also been in hot water before when it comes to questions over his links to Islamist groups and those who practice a more traditional form of Islam that often sees women segregated at events from men. Adding further fuel to the accusations that Mr. Khan is attempting to enforce a more traditional role of women in public life is his new ban on sexualised advertising on London's public transport.
We can be thankful we don't have a live in London and have the same problems. Talk about depressing. Of course, if we allow Obama to continue down the road of increased immigration of Muslims, this absurdity will follow. Then again, if you vote for Clinton in the fall…
…get ready to be fitted for a hijab. Talk about real depression.

So in other words, I cannot install an Airport Extreme card into my old slot loading iMac correct?
That's right. You cannot use the new 802.11g cards in anything but the 12 and 17 inch powerbooks released today. Boo, hiss etc.
Do you think I can use old airpord card (802.11b...just Airport card) on the new 12" Tibook.
Why would you want to?
Do you already have an older Airport card?
The card looks like it has a different connector on it, so I think not.

Everything you have come to know and love about this place is still here. Rich brings expertise unlike any other in Morgantown and is working hard to share that knowledge with the rest of the crew. Becoming the owner has only served to further his drive to provide an exceptional coffee experience. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches are still fresh, delicious, and affordable. Katie does a great job in the kitchen, baking fresh brownies and cookies daily.

They have also added a few long needed key features. If you are craving that caffeine fix and don't happen to have any cash on you, it is no longer a problem. They take credit cards!! Need to break out your laptop to check your email or submit that last minute assignment? They have you covered with free Wi-Fi. Looking for a place to hold that afternoon meeting? Extended hours now give you the perfect place (Weekdays 7am-6pm, Saturday 8am-3pm).

It will feel like a home away from home before you know it.

Girls were only allowed to work in the kitchen. Yeah, pretty sexist.

For future reference (if you ever go back), here's the standard protocol (at least at Stewart's). Pull in and wait for carhop. You order and wait for the food. They come back with a tray and you roll your window down about 2/3rds to 3/4th of the way down so they can hang it on there for you. They usually leave the coin change part on the tray for you, but will have bills in their apron to make up the difference. When you are done, turn on your lights and they will come back and get your tray.

And if you want to be shocked by the green, check out the Marshall Cafe nearby. It's been a few years since I've been there, but I really enjoyed it. Places on my list to try are Huntington Prime (farm to table food) on 4th Avenue and Black Sheep Burrito on the corner of Hal Greer and 3rd, which is supposed to have a lot of veggie/vegan options (my S.O. is vegetarian).

That Fat Patty's (the best one, IMO) is in the former Mycroft's that we went to when I went to Marshall. They actually have my favorite Mycroft's sandwich, the Nitty Gritty Grinder, which is basically a French dip. A really, really tasty French dip and the only thing I seem to want when I go there.

There are a lot of nice restaurants in Hungtington, but sadly you are too late for some of the best ones. Chili Willie's, Calamity Cafe, and Julio's (yeah, I'm dating myself with that one, it's where I learned to play quarters and more of a watering hole). You should try the Stewart's hot dog and the Frost Top one and do a comparison. People seem to love one or the other (Stewart's for me). So many memories for me in Huntington!

Tuesday, 1/10/12 - Finally, our trip to Key West is here. We went with another couple the last time we were in Florida in 2005 but only for the day....this time, by ourselves and spending the night. We left about 8:30 am this morning and I must say the drive down through the Keys is pretty spectacular. The first major town is Key Largo, where the original African Queen boat lives that was used in the movie. We saw it the last time through so didn't stop on this trip. The weather was beautiful and the water is so close on each side and again....that Hawaii blue. I believe it's 130 miles out to Key West and they have a "mile marker" at each mile along the way. That is also how people ID their locations, "I'm at mile marker 25." We arrived just outside Key West close to 12 noon so of course stopped at a Burger King for lunch. I was promised a fish dinner that evening.
When I wanted to find a cheap hotel in Key West, sometime back, I turned to my travel agent, Nancy Willis and she did great. She found us The Palms Hotel, www.palmskeywest.com located on White Street, in charming Old Town District. Actually, White Street is one of the few streets that goes straight thru from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf. This place was a combination of 2 old houses that had been converted into a bed and breakfast/hotel. We were in room 12, on the ground floor, which the breakfast bar and swimming pool were right outside our door. Parking is very scarce but we were so lucky to find a parking spot right in front our hotel and we knew we would NOT move the car until it was time to go home.....so it was perfect. Driving in Key West Old Town is a challenge, most people use, scooters, bicycle's, and walking....we choose walking and the trolley. After checking in we purchased 2 City View Trolley Tour tickets at our hotel and immediately walked to stop 6 to catch the trolley www.CityViewTrolleys.com which was our m.o. for the 2 days.
The walk to the trolley is approx 7 blocks, where you pass by the old local cemetery. Now this cemetery is like the one in New Orleans, the graves are above ground because because after digging 6 inches down you hit solid coral rock. So of course the graves sites are very close and very ornate. The walk is very pleasant with so many old great houses to see along the way. Stop 6 is also the stop for Ernest Hemingway's house. We toured the home the last time we were here but always love seeing the 50 or so 6 towed cats walking the grounds.
We caught our Silver Trolley and headed out for our tour. The actual city tour takes about 1 hour with the drivers telling lots of KW history and interesting stories. All of the drivers we had in the 2 days of rides were locals and wonderful tour guides, we learned so much in that time. Some of the places we saw on the trolley ride included the Historic Seaport of Key West where they have a turtle museum (we toured that!) the Southernmost Point of Key West where they have a marker and the tourist form a line (up to a block or more long) waiting to take their picture in front of the marker. This is the Southernmost Point of the USA and is 90 miles from Cuba (we did the picture taking last trip.) All around this area they have the Southernmost Hotel, Southernmost Motel, Southern-Southernmost Bed & Breakfast and on and on. We passed Key West Butterfly Conservatory (didn't go in), the Truman White House (we toured on last trip....one of my favorite places on the Island.
After taking the full ride we decided to get off at the seaport and have our fish dinner at Conch Seafood Restaurant, which we got a table right on the water. Now Will who is definitely not an experiment eater decided to try Conch....a local favorite. The waiter recommend the Conch appetizer (his favorite) and I had the fish of the day, Mahi, Mahi and we ordered a bowl of Conch soup. Well, the soup was a red base with a slight "kick" to it and to hot for Will however I loved it. When our dinner came the Conch tastes like Calamari or as Will put it, "like rubber." I offered to trade him dinners but he wouldn't as I knew I would love his and he would like mine. As it was - I got all the soup, and I traded some of my Mahi Mahi for his Conch - dinner was good, but the view was great, we were able to watch boats and catamarans come and go. We had an early dinner as you want to be in Mallory Square by 4:30 pm for the entertainment on the docks and wait for the fabulous sunset at about 5:45 pm.
After dinner we caught the trolley to head down to Mallory Square to walk around and see the entertainment, such as some guy with trick cats.....go figure, a sword swallower and more. Also lots of people selling crafts, food and drinks......PLUS my favorite - fabulous people watching. What I was unaware of is that Key West is a favorite port for the cruise ships to dock and flood the town with people. It was so great as there was a Carnival Cruise ship in Port for the day and at this time the people were going back on board, stay to watch the sunset and the cruise ship would leave right after that. Of course there is "jockeying for position" to have a great view of the sunset and I might add there are hundreds of people out there. When we were there in 2005 it was a cloudy day and there was NO sunset and tonight looked like it would be beautiful....so clear and I was excited. Finally, we were in count down mode, cameras clicking everywhere.....including me and it was beautiful, a big, bright ball just disappearing into the ocean. After Will and I went to an out door bar so we could sit, have a drink and watch the cruise ship take off... which I must say was a spectacular sight also. This thing is huge and is like a floating city. After that we boarded the trolley to head back to our room, dead tired after a wonderful but long day. The room was quiet and very clean and we were able to watch some TV and read and then fell asleep with no trouble. A wonderful first day!

I adore this card, but I can't claim it as my own design. I got the idea almost exactly from Mary Fish over at Stampinpretty.com. Gotta give credit where credit is due!! I used Crumb Cake on one of the flowers instead of Sahara Sand, but that is the only real difference between our cards.
I made this card for my Stamp Club. They requested a quick, easy card, so I made three! You will have to wait to see the others though. And let me tell you, it's worth the wait!
If you like this stamp set, it is only available until March 22nd during Sale-a-Bration, so hurry!

Captain Charles A. Mickley
Charles A. Mickley enrolled in the service of the Union Army on September 18, 1861. He was given the rank of Captain and put in charge of Company G of the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment. The various companies were uniformed and equipped as they were mustered in. The commander of the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment was Colonel Tilghman H. Good of Allentown, Lehigh County.
From Harrisburg the regiment proceeded to Washington, arriving on the 21st of September. Upon its arrival it was stationed on Kalorama Heights until the 27th, when it was ordered to move across the Chain Bridge and join the advance of the army. It encamped at Fort Ethan Allen, and was assigned to the third Brigade of General W. R. Smith's Division. It had been armed by the state with the Mississippi Rifle, and drilled exclusively in light infantry tactics. Its commanding officer, Colonel Tilghman H. Good, was a strict disciplinarian, having for years commanded the Allen Rifles, a militia company well known in Pennsylvania for its efficient drill. At the approach of winter the soldiers of the Forty-seventh were not forgotten by their friends at home. Gloves, blankets and articles of clothing, to protect them fro the chilling blasts of winter, were provided in abundance.
The regiment moved with the brigade and division to Camp Griffin, and on the 11th of October, participated in the grand review at Bailey's Cross Roads. On the 22nd of January, 1862, the regiment was, at the request of Bridagier General Brannan, then commanding the third Brigade, ordered to accompany him to Key West, Florida. Exchanging the Mississippi for the Springfield rifle, it left Washington on the 23rd, for Annapolis, and then it embarked on the steamship Oriental, for Key West, on the 27th. The men suffered from fevers incident to the climate, and many of its members died. Remaining until the 18th of June, it embarked with the brigade for Hilton Head, South Carolina, where it arrived on the 22nd of Jyly, when it was ordered to participate in the attack upon Secessionville, but was not engaged. It then moved to Beanfort, where it was brigaded with the Sixth Connecticut, Seventh New Hampshire and Eighth Maine. A large portion of the forces here were about this time sent north, in consequence of which, the duty became onerous, it being necessary to picket the entire island. For its attention to duty, discipline and soldierly bearing, the regiment received the highest commendation from Generals Hunter and Brannan.
General O. M. Mitchell assumed command of the Department of the South on the 16th of September, and an expedition was soon after fitted out to penetrate Florida, and remove the obstructions in the St. John's River. The force selected consisted of the Forty-seventh Pennsylvania, Seventh Connecticut, First Connecticut Battery, and one company of the First Massachusetts Caralry, all under the command of General Brannan. Landing at Maysport Mills, on the 1st of October, the campaign was opened by operations directed against St John's Bluff, a strongly fortified point, five miles from the mouth of the St. John's River. Moving on the second through swamps and pine woods, by a circuit of twenty-five miles, the Forty-seventh in advance, constanly skirmishing with, and driving the enemy as they went, the command bivouacked at night, in rear of the fort, in sight of the rebel works. The gunboats were continually exchnaging shots with the fort during the night. In the morning, the brigade was formed, and moved to the assault, but found that the rebels had evacated under cover of darkness, leaving eleven pieces of artillery, in excellent order, and an immense quantity of ammunition. Companies E and K, under command of Captain Yard, were sent in pursuit of the retreating foe, and, after a sharp skirmish, took possession of Jacsonville, Florida. Thence the two companies proceeded, on the 6th, by steamer Darlington, two hundred miles up the river, where the rebel steamer Governor Milton was captured, and safely conveyed within the Union lines. The artillery, ammunition and materials captured at St. John's Bluff, were placed upon steamers, and with the command were taken to Hilton Head, where they arrived on the 7th, the object of the expedition having been accomplished, with a loss to the Forty-seventh of only two wounded.
On the 21st, the command proceeded to destroy the railroad bridge over the Pocotaligo River, and sever communications between Charleston and Savannah. A landing was effected at Makey's Point, and it proceeded without delay, the Forty-seventh in advance, toward the bridge. The brigade was commanded by Colonel Good, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander commanding the regiment. Advancing a few miles, over an open, rolling country, it suddenly received a heavy fire from a rebel field battery. The brigade was deployed the front, passing the artillery, and drove the enemy from his position. At Frampton the rebels were found posted in a wood with infantry and artillery. The approach to their position was over an open cotton field. The brigade was formed in line of battle, with two companies thrown forward as skirmishers, and charged upon the enemy in the face of a terrific fire. This bold movement has the desired effect. The affrighted enemy fled in percipitation. Pursuit was immediately given, and after an exciting chase of four miles, he was found in force at Pocotaligo Bridge. A revine here ran between the Union line and the enemy. The Forty-seventh was ordered to relieve the Seventh Connecticut, and forming upon the edge of the stream, for two hours kept up an uninterrupted fire. The enemy being strongly posted behind works, and receiving reinforcements, poured forth a murderous fire upon the Union line, frustrating every attempt to cross the ravine. The ammunition of the artillery was entirely exhausted, and night coming on, the command was withdrawn, and returned unmolested to Mackey's Point. Captains Mickley and Junker, and eighteen enlisted men were killed, and one hundred and fourteen wounded. The officers and men were complimented in general orders for their gallantry. On the 23rd it returned to Hilton Head.
Captain Charles Mickley, Company G, Forty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry was killed. The circumsatces of his death are not known. His remains were returned to Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania and buried in the Union and West End Cemetery in the family plot.
Charles Mickley, 27 Jan 1832 - 22 Oct 1862

Catherine Steckel, 10 Jan 1803 - 25 Feb 1888

They were married sometime prior to 1848. Catherine Steckel, who died at 82 years of age, is believed to be Eliza's mother. Ella's father, Peter Stekel, and Catherine lived in North Whitehall Township in 1860. Under occupation, Peter who was 72 years of age at the time, was shown as "Gentleman".
In 1870, Eliza Mickley was living in the Second Ward in Allentown in a home she valued at $10,000 and she reported personal property valued at $1,700. She was 44 years of age. In the household with her was Winfiel Scott Mickley, 22 years of age and employed as a carpenter; Charles, 18 years of age and a laborer; Caroline, age 12 and attending school.

The Big Enough Company (Hardcover)
Creating a Business That Works for You
Portfolio Hardcover, 9781591844211, 288pp.
Publication Date: September 15, 2011
Despite the freedom that striking out on your own promises, most of the accepted wisdom on how to build a small business advocates a one- size-fits-all approach. So-called experts-and sometimes just well-meaning friends-urge business owners to grow fast, be more profitable, and imitate other successful start-ups. And while these tips may work for some, they fail to consider the astounding variety of values and motivations that individuals have for starting a business. Too often, owners sacrifice their personal satisfaction in order to conform to unnecessary (and often unworkable) standards.
Adelaide Lancaster and Amy Abrams have seen this problem for years when working with women entrepreneurs like themselves. They set out to explore how successful female business owners have grown their enterprises in a way that sustains their own personal goals and needs, not someone else's standards.
Drawing on the true stories of nearly 100 entrepreneurs, as well as their own experiences, Abrams and Lancaster guide readers through the best principles that really matter when you work for yourself. For instance: Figure out what's in it for "you" Clarify why you started your business and what you want to get out of it over the long haul. Find a role that suits your strengths: Identify where you add the most value and can have the most impact. Embrace experimentation: Trying new things gives you the opportunity to see what works and what doesn't and opens up unseen possibilities.
This book empowers entrepreneurs to ignore popular "wisdom" and peer pressure to take charge of their businesses in a way that will help them succeed on their own terms.

If you are willing to accept an Italian school, there is one in Succivo called Peter Pan. My son went there last year and we loved it. He also loved being there. They have a good mixture of teaching and play time for the kids. The security there is also a plus. It is surrounding with an 8 foot steel gate and security cameras. They will not allow anyone to pick up your child unless you have given express written consent for another person to take care of your child. There is a 50 euro registration fee and if my memory is correct 28 euro for the uniform. Oh and the price is 120 euro a month, for potty trained children. If this is something you are interested in please reply back and I can send you the contact info for the school.

Mitchell Museum @ Telfords Warehouse, Chester Friday 6th November
This time last Saturday I was standing hungover to heck in the main theatre at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff hoping that the men who'd just stumbled up on stage weren't going to play anything too loud that might tip me over the edge.
30 seconds after they had started playing my hangover had evaporated and I was grinning ear-to-ear, resplendent in the joyous sounds that were emanating from the stage.
The band were Glasgow's Mitchell Museum and, at very short notice, I have managed to book them into Telfords Warehouse, Chester *this Friday night*.
Please check out the songs on their myspace page to hear why I'm so enthused. If you have a love for Flaming Lips, the Beach Boys, 18 Wheeler, Animal Collective, Mercury Rev... heck, anything with surging, uplifting melodies and harmonies from the very vaults of heaven, then you're going to enjoy them. A lot.
Entry is FREE before 9pm [all night with a student card], and £4 thereafter.
I'll be playing music to put joy in your heart. That is my brief for the night. Expect The Shins, Teenage Fanclub, the Staples Sisters, Grizzly Bear and a hundred other dreamers with pop-shaped souls.
I know times are hard. I know money is tight. I know Christmas is coming. But I also know that this band will enrich your lives and give you an experience beyond mere pounds and pence. Our beers are pretty good, too.
If you want any more information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
'MITCHELL MUSEUM' – indie rock. Experimental pop from Glasgow, Scotland.
Childhood sweethearts and members of the young inventors club, the lasting union between brothers Cammy and Raindeer and friends Kris and Dougie led to the formation of MITCHELL MUSEUM in 2008, where they have been swapping home recordings and often regular instruments for banjos, accordions, children's toys and various buzzing, beeping and burping music makers.
Drawing influence from American and Canadian experimental indie bands including Animal Collective, Flaming Lips, Wolf Parade and Modest Mouse, MITCHELL MUSEUM create an experimental pop sound with strong hints to folk, psych, and electronica.
A reputation for hyperactive and entertaining live shows have led MITCHELL MUSEUM to be described as "a frenzied Grandaddy" and "a lovable bundle of keyboard-driven madness" by The Fly, and 2009 has seen them play the Rockness festival, support Sunset Rubdown and Midlake, and visit many UK towns, cities and motorway service stations for the first time.
Since releasing their first two singles "Warning Bells" and "Tiger Heartbeat" on Vinyl and C10 cassette via the musical arm of essential boutique clothing label Electra French, the band have earned national airplay from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson and Marc Riley, who had the band in session in January. Reviews for the singles led the Rough Trade shop online to state "This is the magic new sound of young Scotland and soon every major independent label will be fighting for their signature. It has energy, intrigue and shouts 'massive potential'."
This is TONIGHT! Thank you.
Just a quick reminder that Mitchell Museum are making the long trek down from Glasgow to play for us at Telfords Warehouse, Chester tonight.
http://myspace.com/mitchellmuseum - if you haven't had a chance to check them out, yet.
They're a force of hamonious positivity - all bubbling along on a tide of wonder-filled electronics.
Or something like that...
It's FREE to get in before 9pm [or all night with student ID] / £4 thereafter.
I'm DJ'ing until 2am - a joyous mix of indie pop electro and classics: possibilities include - Friendly Fires, Beta Band, Daedalus, Ronettes, Flaming Lips, Cate Le Bon, Stone Roses, Phoenix, Johnny Cash, De La Soul etc. etc.
Have a fine weekend!

I would like to help, but need more information about what is going on. Can your Nook pick up the wireless signal at all? If so, what error/messages do you receive when trying to connect to it? Is your wireless connection secured with WEP/WPA? What brand is your wireless router?

On September 25, 2012, Rudy Mata was shot and killed by David Merrill, who was allegedly a drug-addicted domestic abuser married to Rudy's step-daughter. Mata was a devoted family man, a local rockabilly star, and a beloved member of his community. The lawsuit alleges that employees of Pioneer Pawn Shop entrusted Merrill with a Glock handgun, despite the fact that Merrill had allegedly professed to a store employee that he intended to kill his wife, Trisha.
The Brady Center filed suit on behalf of Rudy's widow, Sandra Mata, in a Texas district court in September 2015. The lawsuit alleges that Pioneer Pawn and its employees unlawfully supplied a firearm to David Merrill despite knowing or having reasonable cause to know that Merrill intended to commit a crime, and posed a substantially high risk of causing violent harm. Despite his threatening comments and dangerous behavior, the suit alleges that the dealer and its employees negligently supplied him with the gun and did not call the police or undertake further investigations into Merrill's intent to purchase a gun, or his mental state. The case is currently in discovery.
The Brady Center represents Sandra in this case, along with a team from the firm of Paul Weiss in New York, led by Partner Christopher Boehning.

Public varsities barred from granting affiliation to private law colleges
On Saturday, the CJP had barred all public universities of the country from granting affiliation to new private law colleges.
Expressing displeasure over low-quality law education, Justice Nisar said the law education quality has been comprised and an LLB degree (law graduate degree) has become accessible to 'milk' and 'paan' vendors in the country.
The universities have introduced such an educational system that could entitle anyone to a university-level degree, the CJP noted.
On the occasion, he also constituted a committee under chairmanship of senior lawyer Hamid Khan to promote the quality of the legal education and propose reforms.
Moreover, he said the committee under Hamid Khan would supervise the reforms in education pertaining to the law.
The CJP also ordered the vice-chancellors of public law universities to submit an affidavit and restrained the Lahore High Court (LHC) from conducting a hearing into the cases pertaining to law colleges.

Yesterday I made a quilt using all kinds of beautiful upholstery fabric
that were given to me by my local furniture shop!
Go on down to your local furniture shop and ask them if they can give you
their old and discontinued fabric samples...
chances are they would LOVE to!
After all, they probably feel as bad about throwing them out as you do!
This final quilt will be a surprise because the difference top quilting
will make will change the whole look of it.
For this quilt I used browns, burgundy's and stripes and added a beige border.
Wow, it'll be really pretty when it's finished... :)

Viable Tumor Tissue Adherent to Needle Applicators after Local Ablation: A Risk Factor for Local Tumor Progression
Viable Tumor Tissue Adherent to Needle Applicators after Local Ablation: A Risk Factor for Local Tumor Progression - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Annals of Surgical Oncology
, Volume 18, Issue 13, pp 3702–3710
First Online: 18 May 2011Received: 09 June 2010
BackgroundLocal tumor progression LTP is a serious complication after local ablation of malignant liver tumors, negatively influencing patient survival. LTP may be the result of incomplete ablation of the treated tumor. In this study, we determined whether viable tumor cells attached to the needle applicator after ablation was associated with LTP and disease-free survival.
MethodsIn this prospective study, tissue was collected of 96 consecutive patients who underwent local liver ablations for 130 liver malignancies. Cells and tissue attached to the needle applicators were analyzed for viability using glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase staining and autofluorescence intensity levels of HandE stained sections. Patients were followed-up until disease progression.
ResultsViable tumor cells were found on the needle applicators after local ablation in 26.7% of patients. The type of needle applicator used, an open approach, and the omission of track ablation were significantly correlated with viable tumor tissue adherent to the needle applicator. The presence of viable cells was an independent predictor of LTP. The attachment of viable cells to the needle applicators was associated with a shorter time to LTP.
ConclusionsViable tumor cells adherent to the needle applicators were found after ablation of 26.7% of patients. An independent risk factor for viable cells adherent to the needle applicators is the omission of track ablation. We recommend using only RFA devices that have track ablation functionality. Adherence of viable tumor cells to the needle applicator after local ablation was an independent risk factor for LTP.

Jack's Story
Want to help us raise funds for a cure for Jack? Join Jack's walk team by clicking here. You can also check out http://www.angelman.org/ to find a walk near you. Jack's walk will be on Saturday, May 19th at West Park in Carmel, Indiana. It is $25 to register for anyone 12+ and free for participants under 12. If you are unable to make it, all donations are greatly appreciated. Donate here.
On June 24th, 2013 we finally became parents following a miscarriage and heartbreak. Our little man was born a few weeks early due to my inconsistent blood pressure but he was healthy and absolutely handsome. He stole our hearts.
Jack spent two days in the NICU due to a high grade fever I had while delivering. He struggled to latch correctly but the hospital staff chalked it up to him being borderline premature. So we worked on it all day… everyday. Finally, the day of discharge we realized he had a poor suck reflex and his body didn't naturally know how to suck until you hit his uvula in his throat. We fought through it but the first 6 weeks were hell as we tried to teach this tiny human how to eat; something the majority of us are born with the ability to do. To say it was rough was an understatement. It took 45 minutes to an hour for our little guy to take a 2oz bottle and on top of that I was pumping 8 times a day to keep my supply up. By the time he finished a bottle and I pumped, he was awake again. And repeat.
In addition to feeding issues, Jack was diagnosed with kidney issues before he was even born. We were followed by an incredible urologist from Riley Children's Hospital and we couldn't be more thankful for Dr. Rink. These issues meant lots of doctor's appointments for Jack from the beginning. At 3 weeks old he had a scope to check out his kidneys. At 12 weeks, the same scope was repeated. Nothing breaks a new mama's (post-partum) heart than seeing her baby hooked up to an IV and machines and knowing they're being put under anesthesia so early. But Jack even rocked the hospital and melted every single nurses' heart.
Jack's kidneys were doing great and we were told he wouldn't need another surgery until he was over 2 years old in order to allow his kidneys and bladder to grow. We monitored his kidneys every 6 months through an ultrasound and did more in-depth scans once a year. At 2 years old he had a ureter and bladder reconstruction surgery to correct the issues. He's going strong and we can only hope that from here on out we just have to be monitored and that no more surgeries follow.
Jack rolled over both ways by the time he was 4 months old. He was all over the place. He never minded tummy time and he was always happy now that he could eat without any problems! By 6 months he was sitting in a 'tripod' sit but he couldn't support his own weight. We noticed a wandering eye and were also told to monitor it. By 8/9 months, Jack was just starting to sit independently but balance was an issue. He was eating table foods like a pro and loved to eat. His eye was still wandering so we chose to see a pediatric ophthalmologist. At 15 months old he got his first pair of glasses. Although devastated to hear he would need glasses so young, I couldn't imagine him any other way now.
Somewhere before the glasses we noticed our little guy wasn't crawling. He didn't crawl until 14 months old. He didn't cruise the furniture until 16 months old. He didn't clap. He didn't point. He didn't babble. As a special education teacher, I knew to worry about his development. We saw doctors and were told to wait a little longer. At 18 months old he had an MRI with normal results. Finally, before his second birthday I requested bloodwork for genetic testing. A day after his 2nd birthday we were given a diagnosis. Jack has a deletion of the 15th chromosome which could be one of two disabilities. Based on our research we knew our little guy's fate but further testing would later confirm he had Angelman Syndrome.
Why am I telling you all of this? Because Monday, February 15th is International Angelman Day. Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neuro-genetic disorder that occurs in one in 15,000 live births. AS is often misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy or autism due to lack of awareness. Characteristics of the disorder include developmental delay, lack of speech, seizures, and walking and balance disorders. Individuals with Angelman syndrome will require life-long care. Angelman Syndrome is most commonly diagnosed between the ages of two and five years olds as developmental delays become more obvious. More Info…
Our hearts were broken. We cried (okay, well, I cried). I screamed. I got mad. Then I went into Mama Bear mode and said I would do whatever it took to help our sweet boy out. When you google Angelman Syndrome you read all sorts of things and most of them are not positive. Doctors tell us all sorts of things like our children will never walk, they'll never talk, they'll never live independently, etc. etc. But Jack has already defied the odds. He's breaking down barrier after barrier and he's doing it with a smile on his face.
With Jack's diagnosis he has developmental delays. He can have spastic movements with his hands that look similar to Autism but aren't the same as they aren't stimming. He's almost ALWAYS happy and smiling. Which is not as pleasant as it seems. He can't tell us he's sick and even when he's severely ill, he still smiles or is generally happy. He's high risk for seizures and is likely to never be able to verbally communicate with us. If we happen to be blessed with verbal communication, his vocab could be limited to 5-10 words total. Angelman children never live independently, are later to potty train and have severe cognitive delays. By some chance, we have avoided some of the ugliest pieces of AS including; lack of sleep, seizures, and inability to eat solids. Some Angelman children can live off of a few (as in less than 4) hours of sleep a night. A night. I can't imagine how exhausting this is for parents on top of an already exhausting life in general. Roughly 90% of AS children have seizures and most present themselves before the age of 3 and although Jack has not experienced any seizures, that does not mean that we might not have to fight that battle in the future. Jack had feeding issues in the beginning but he was able to overcome those issues and learned to eat solids right on time. He loves food. He will eat anything and gets so excited when he sees food. It took him until he was 2 years old to use a straw but we did it! We'll continue to encourage and challenge him at every obstacle we meet because we have big expectations for him and we know he can meet those expectations. It's a good thing he's got a Special Education Teacher for a mama because I can wait any child out. 😉 This diagnosis means we see doctors. Lots of them. We get therapy. Lots of it. Jack currently goes to Hippotherapy where he gets to ride a horse every week! He receives Occupational Therapy, Developmental Therapy, and Physical Therapy. Somewhere in there we need to add Speech Therapy but there's a problem and that problem is lack of time and full-time jobs.
And some days I feel completely alone. No, I am not the only one in the world with a child with a disability but some days it feels that way. Especially when all of your family and friends are raising neurotypical children. The actor, Colin Farrell, has a child with Angelman Syndrome and said it best when he said, "When you're the parent of a child with special needs, it's important to feel that you're not alone. The network of community, support, and comradeship that FAST offers the families of children with Angelman Syndrome is profound."
Our Angelman Family celebrates every milestone together! We laugh with each other and we cry with each other. There are no words to describe how comforting it is to know there is a support system that I can vent to whenever I need to or celebrate with when we (finally) meet those milestones that most people take for granted because they come so easily. Angelman children are often referred to as "Angels" and they work hard for every major milestone in life.
This video was created this year for AS and I watch it weekly. It gives me so much hope for my little man's future. You won't regret watching it and I guarantee by the end of it you will be smiling along with these beautiful children or ugly crying your eyes out at how powerful the message is.
I'm not asking for pity. I just want the world to know and understand my handsome guy because how can you NOT smile when you see this face.
So what can YOU do?
Donate to research for Jack and all his other AS friends so one day we can cure Angelman Syndrome:
Do you order through Amazon? Use Amazon Smile and choose Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics so every time you shop a portion of your sales can fund more research. (http://smile.amazon.com/)
Walk with us! Check out http://www.angelman.org/ to find a walk close to you. Indiana has a walk on Saturday, May 20th. We will be establishing a team in the next few weeks. Can't walk? Donate! 🙂
Be kind. It's hard going out in public and to birthday parties and the mall when you know people notice that your child is different. The best thing to hear is a compliment at how well behaved he is when we're out or how beautiful his giant smile is. This softens the blow when you see another 'typical' two year old running around and screaming words of excitement to everyone around because I would give anything to see my boy running around a restaurant (someday!) and yelling at people. I pray one day I hear his sweet voice and he can use his words to tell me when he's happy, sad, angry, or excited.
Be understanding.There are days we feel alone, defeated, heartbroken and exhausted. We work full-time to be able to pay Jack's medical bills and to have health benefits for him. We have part-time businesses on the side. Our lives revolve around work and Jack's therapy schedule. We may not always have time for friends. Don't take it personally. We may forget things from time to time. Don't take it personally.

What is the Lunk Alarm?
The Planet Fitness website says this:
The Lunk Alarm is our way of keeping the right atmosphere in the gym, by preventing things like dropping weights, and loud grunting. We want our members to feel comfortable in our non-intimidating judgement free zone.I 100% agree with this. It is a perfect policy. For Planet Fitness.
Planet Fitness is all about the newbie. The mom who just had her first physical in five years and was loaded up with a couple new metabolic diseases. The retirees who need to get out of the house but are scared by the "urbans" who have moved into the neighborhood. The new dad who sees a photo of himself holding his baby and for the first time wonders "how did I get so fat? I need to make a change."
The ideal Planet Fitness client associates shame with his or her body. They are embarrassed by their inability to achieve a vague goal of "health." They are barely in the building.
None of those people belong at Gold's Gym. All of them, and maybe you, can legitimately say, fuck Gold's Gym. Fuck 'em twice!
So I went over to Planet Fitness even though I had a negative impression because of shit I read online. I got a cheap membership and went two or three times a week for 60-120 minutes legit. And I had no idea what the hell I was doing. I would spend 45 minutes on the elliptical because, I don't know, isn't that good? I would wander around the machines and, if I could figure out how to use them, I'd move the thing ten times because, I don't know, isn't ten a good number?
And after something like nine months I hadn't burned much fat, I hadn't gained much muscle, so I quit. I didn't make any progress because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. I didn't look stuff up on the internet. I didn't ask the resident trainers (yes, they have them). I was a living plateau.
But! I had gotten comfortable in a gym. I felt like I belonged there and couldn't be shamed out the door because I was fat. It was the kick in the ass I needed to do my homework, to learn how the human body works, to take my health seriously. Because of Planet Fitness I was able to make the changes I needed to make and become a fitness professional. Because of Planet Fitness I felt like I belonged in a gym.
If you are a member of Planet FitnessDo not be like me. Do not think that you are alone. Everyone in that building is trying to get their shit together.
Go up to the desk and make an appointment to talk to a trainer. They don't work 1-on-1, but they can help you learn how to use the equipment and answer and question you have.
If you like, I can design a training program specifically for you to take into your local Planet Fitness.
If you have your fitness shit togetherDude, Planet Fitness isn't for you! Why the fuck are you there? If you want a cheap monthly gym bill, so be it. This is the environment so suck it up. If you are serious about Olympic lifts, hypertrophy, or are an athlete, I repeat, Planet Fitness isn't for you! Why the fuck are you there?
That said, Planet Fitness provides free pizza, bagels, and tootsie rolls. What the fuck? I can't defend that.


text: Hi All, I probably should have my hands slapped, but I went to our lfs (the only one in our immediate area-normally if looking for fish I go to Petsmart or a shop called Sandy's which is an hour away) and now that I've moved the goldfish to the bigger tank, I've kept the 12 gallon running. I saw these little cute fish, and because I left my glasses in the car couldn't see what they were called, asked the clerk how many of them I could keep in a 12 gallon tank. He said no more than three, they were not expensive, so I now have 3 platy's in the smaller tank-1 Red wagtail and 2 Mickeymouse. I sure hope they have enough room, although I feel they do, they are still really small and I don't plan on getting any more. Will need to do my research and I'm bad, have been preaching to myself, research first and what do I do-the exact opposite :;rules Like the smiley guy says "read the rules" Just went on line to read up some more on them and have a Red Wag Moon, not Wagtail-oops.

I think I'm right in saying that few if any funerals take place on Sundays these days, though it was once common if you go far enough back.
That would be to at least the turn of last century, when,I've been intrigued to note, South Shields Council debated an appeal to them from the Free Church Ministers' Association, that they double the cost of Sunday funerals to discourage folk from having them!
Seemingly their popularity was making some cemeteries look "like the Market" on some days.
The Council, however, proved compassionate. This was an era when the dead often rested at home, sometimes for five or six days, and in a tenemented home, with perhaps only one or two rooms, that wasn't always desirable, especially at - er - certain times of the year. They refused the clergymen's plea - though they did express dismay at the tendency of many relatives and friends during this period of lying at home, to call in and have a drink at the same time, so that "the place becomes a drinking shop the whole of the week."Good send off, though!

Talia Balsam Gave George Clooney "A Shot" At MarriageTalia Balsam perhaps the only woman who will never be able to say she was married to George Clooney.
Former wife of George Clooney, Talia Balsam is in hunt today, everyone once look for the woman who got married with Clooney from 1989 to 1993.
Clooney appeared on Friday's "Piers Morgan Tonight," in a televised interview.
Clooney, 49, appeared alongside his father, Nick, to talk about movies, his philanthropy and his love life. His father, George, was also interviewd on the program but was in the studio.
George replied to his dad:
"I hate to blow your whole news story, "but I was married, so I gave it a shot."
Since 2009, George Clooney was in a relationship with Elisabetta Canalis.
Clooney, 49, was married to actress Talia Balsam,"now the wife of actor John Slattery, who plays Roger Sterling on Mad Men.
Talia Balsam Bio:
Born in New York City to Martin Balsam and Joyce Van Patten, Balsam made her television debut in Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn in 1977 and in 1979, Survival of Dana. She appeared in multiple episodes of Happy Days, Taxi, thirtysomething, Murder, She Wrote, Almost Perfect, Archie Bunker's Place, L.A. Doctors, and K Street. In more recent years she has had recurring roles as Anthony LaPaglia's estranged wife on Without a Trace and Mona Sterling on Mad Men opposite her husband, John Slattery.
Balsam made her Broadway debut in the 1992 Neil Simon play Jake's Women and won the Theatre World Award for her performance.
Balsam's screen credits include Mass Appeal, Little Manhattan, All the King's Men, and The Wackness.
Balsam was married to George Clooney from 1989 to 1992. - (wikipedia.org)
A longtime television actress who has also branched out into film, brunette beauty Talia Balsam also gained Hollywood recognition for her brief marriage to a pre-superstar George Clooney. Born to actors Martin Balsam and Joyce Van Patten in New York City in 1960, the young aspiring actress received her education at the Treehaven School in Tucson, AZ, before making her bid for the big-time shortly thereafter. In the late '70s, Balsam warmed to television audiences with recurring roles in the small-screen hits Happy Days and Taxi and feature roles in such made-for-TV films as The Survival of Dana and Sunnyside (both 1979) proved a testament to her dramatic range. A dizzying onslaught of similar television features followed, and the 1980s found Balsam becoming something of a staple in such made-for-TV efforts as Kent State (1981) and The Ladies (1987). Endearing roles on Family Ties and Punky Brewster provided just the right balance to such feature screamers as The Supernaturals (1986) and The Kindred (1987); by the time the 1990s rolled around, Balsam was married to up-and-comer Clooney and turning heads on Murder, She Wrote, thirtysomething, and Law & Order. Despite the fact that her most successful roles came with dramatic small-screen roles, Balsam continued to prove that she was an actress of little pretense by appearing in such #92;quirky feature efforts as Coldblooded (1995) and Camp Stories (1997). Married to John Slattery following her divorce from Clooney in 1993, Balsam was later seen in the TV series L.A. Doctors and the feature Valerie Flake (1999). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi - (yahoo.com)

Ian grabbed my hands and looked at me angrily.
"Are you sure?"
"Y-yeah." I stuttered, trying to worm my hands out of his, but his grip was like freezing iron.
"She didn't do anything to you?"
"N-no," I said, yanking my hands away and backing up a step. What would she have done?
"It was my fault, okay!" trilled Loretta from near the bed. I jumped. I had almost forgotten that she was there.
"What do you mean?" said Ian menacingly, advancing on Loretta. Incredibly, her face showed no fear.
Holy crap. He was scary enough just looking at me, let alone looking like an axe muderer minus the axe.
Ian grabbed Loretta's arm in a vice-like grip, and spoke through gritted teeth.
"What--did--you--do?" He snarled, shaking Loretta slightly.
I was shocked. What had she done that was so bad? All she had done was tell me she was----oh, crap. That meant Ian was probably one too. Vampires. All of them. What was going on with my life?
"I just told her that I was---"
Ian's face was a mask of fury.
"YOU DIDN'T!" Ian yelled, shoving Loretta to the floor. She leaped back up, her eyes flashing red again.
"Yes, I did! And I don't care!" spat Loretta defiantly.
"You are such and IDIOT!" bellowed Ian. I shrank back and attempted to blend in with the wall. What the hell was his problem?
"Don't you know what you have done?" cried Ian, his face screwed up in anger. "She can't leave now! She knows!"
"What do you mean I can't leave?" I snapped at Ian, forgetting my attempts to blend in. "I don't want to stay here anymore, you're all nuts! I'm going back home!"
Ian just stared at me blankly.
"Hello!" I yelled in his face. "Anybody in there! Whatever, I'm going home!"
I turned and ran out the door.
"This seems all too familiar," I thought as I slipped and slid through the forest. The snow had hardened to ice, which made traveling pretty much impossible.
I felt awful. I could pretend not to have seen Loretta's anguished face as I had stormed out. But I couldn't erase it from my mind. What had I done?
I slipped and fell hard. The wind whooshed out of me and I sat there for a few minutes as I contemplated my options.
1. I could go back and tell Ian and Loretta I was sorry.
2. I could slip my way back home and face my mother's wrath, or worse, cold shoulder.
3. I could sit here until I froze.
"Ugh," I moaned, standing back up slowly. I guess I was taking option number two. I was being irrational, and I knew it. For one thing, I didn't have a clue where I was. For another, I kept falling down.
"Oh well." I sighed as I slid another few inches.
"You didn't go far," a velvety voice said softly. I spun sorund and almost fell down again. There was Ian, a smirk on his face and walking easlily towards me.
"Ian, do you have to scare the crap out of me every time you show up?" I hissed angrily. My heart was racing.
The smirk didn't vanish. Instead it got bigger. Argh. I was ready to throw something at him.
"You didn't scream." He said, reaching me and ignoring my angry retort.
"I said, 'You didn't scream.'"
"Um, yeah, I didn't. So what?" This conversation seemed to be leading nowhere.
"Most girls would scream." Ian said matter-of-factly.
"And your point is....?"
"Nothing." Ian said quickly, looking away. What the heck?
"Come on." Said Ian, smiling at me gently. "Just come back for a bit until we decide what to do."
"Fine." I said, but in a gentler tone than before. Ian turned and started to walk. I tried to follow, but I slipped and fell into him.
"Hmm, we're going to have to do something about that, aren't we?" Ian said teasingly, and lifted me into his arms.
"How come you can walk without falling on your face?" I asked mulishly, my face burning. "Is it because you're a vampire?"
"Shh," he said, an edge to his voice. I noticed that his muscles had tensed. "Wait until we get back to my house."
So I sat there and, even though I didn't want to admit it, enjoyed being carried like an invalid.
Ian set me down when we reached his house.
"Ian?" I asked, looking down at my feet.
"Um, is your mom still in there?" I flushed again, I could feel it.
"Er, no, actually." Ian looked slightly sheepish. "I think I ticked her off. She didn't want you to stay, but, well, I did."
I flushed even deeper. Ian wanted me to stay? What did that mean?
"Just relax." Ian said soothingly, pushing me gently in the back. It was strange how I didn't mind him treating me like an old friend.
Right when I walked in the door, Loretta flung herself at me and broke down crying, or so it seemed.
"I'm sorry!" she wailed, hugging me.
"It's okay, for real." I said sincerely. I noticed that when she stood back that her face was still dry, even though it had appeared she had been crying. I didn't mind her embrace, which was weird because I had only known her for a couple of hours.
"Now will you tell me?" I said, turning to Ian. To my surprise, he was already sitting at the dining room table. I quickly joined him, Loretta right behind.
"So, will you tell me? About why you don't leave any footprints and don't seem to mind carrying heavy things." I asked proddingly.
"I don't know if I should tell you," said Ian. His face was hard again.
"Oh, will you just tell her!" burst out Loretta, throwing her hands up in exasperation. "The secret's out, it's no use pretending it's not!" Ian glared at her for a second, then he sighed, and his shoulders slumped in defeat.
"Okay, fine. We're vampires."
"I kind of figured that much, funnily enough." I said, slightly sarcastically.
Ian rolled his eyes and began to talk.
"Our line of vampires started about twenty-some years ago. A man named Damian was lost in the forest. He had gone hiking alone, and was trying to find his way back home."
"As night fell, Damian fell into an exhausted sleep. But little did he know that he was being preyed upon by vampire bats while he slept. I think you can guess how they got their name. Their venom enters the bloodstream and---changes you."
"To Damian, everything seemed normal. Feeling refreshed, he set off again the next morning, eventually running into a search party. They brought him home, where life went on normally again."
"But one day, his daughter, Elissa, came to talk to him.
'Dad,' she said tentatively. 'Something seems wrong with you.'"
"And indeed, something was. Damian had felt it too. He was changing. His skin had paled and grown more muscled, his instincts growing sharper and more animal-like. And his eyes had slowly but surely deepened to blood red.
He didn't know what had triggered this change, but everyone had noticed it. But the most dangerous thing of all was that he could not longer control himself. He had intense mood swings and severe headaches. He could only eat meat to curb his endless hunger. Damian was a vampire."
"And Elissa was getting scared.
'I think we should tell somebody about this.' Elissa said to Damian.
'NO!' he yelled. It was coming. The anger. Roaring, burning, leaving him unable to think clearly.
Elissa's eyes widened. She dashed past Damian and thundered down the stairs."
"Elissa flew into the living room where her mother was.
'MOM!' She yelled, starting to run to her mother. She was fast. But Damian was faster."
"The next instant, he had grabbed his daughter, and the instincts took over. He bit her, therefore dooming her to his same fate."
"'No, Megan, I can explain!' he yelled after his wife, who running out the door, sobbing in terror.
Damian was instantly filled with grief and regret. He disappeared and was never seen again."

Last night at the map meeting one of the women said that according to the Woman Tours website today was supposed to be really hilly. We all figured that 32 miles with hills could not be to bad. We were correct and the website was wrong. There were some hills but they were mainly rollers that you could get up enough steam on the downhill to make it up most of the way. I road most of the way by myself enjoying the wonderful views of the Mississippi. The area around Lake Pepin was particularly beautiful.
I passed through Lake City, Mn
I took this picture along the way since I never saw a welcome to Minnesota sign. I still cannot believe that I have bicycled from New Orleans to Minnesota.
When I arrived in Red Wing I passed a Caraboo Coffee shop so I stopped and joined a couple of other women and had a frozen mocha. It is really surprising what tastes good at the end of a bike ride on a warm day.
Because it was such a short ride I arrived way to early to get my room. I wondered over to the Red Wing Pottery Store. I only had my biking sunglasses so it was difficult to do much shopping. Finally at noon the bike shop next door opened. I took my bike in to get the cables adjusted. After almost 1,500 miles the cables had stretched and shifting was not going smoothly and braking took all my strength. When I got back to the hotel my room was ready. I relax and did laundry.
Later in the afternoon I went with some of the other women to the Red Wing Pottery Store.
Tomorrow is a short ride (48 miles) but THREE bridges. Trying to figure out what to do. Will let you know tomorrow.
