Central Nervous System Metastases | Liposomal Cytarabine and High-Dose Methotrexate in Treating Patients With Central Nervous System Metastases From Breast Cancer
Central Nervous System Metastases research study
What is the primary objective of this study?
This phase II trial studies how well giving liposomal cytarabine and high-dose methotrexate works in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to the central nervous system. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal cytarabine and methotrexate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving liposomal cytarabine with high-dose methotrexate may kill more tumor cells.
Who is eligible to participate?
Inclusion Criteria: - Women who are not pregnant (contraception must be used throughout the study) - Diagnosis of breast cancer with metastases to CNS (regardless of receptor status); leptomeningeal disease must be present with/without parenchymal brain involvement - Able to provide informed consent - No prior treatment with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT); if patient received stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) prior to enrollment it must be well documented which lesions were treated and untreated index lesions for follow up must be identified; no treatment with SRS will be permitted while on the study; CNS disease must be documented by MRI and CSF cytology - Karnofsky Performance Status > 60 - White blood cells (WBC) >= 3.0 K - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.5 K - Platelets (PLT) >= 100 K - Hematocrit (HCT) >= 30% - Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 60 mL/min - Acceptable liver function (see exclusion criteria) - Any ongoing therapy for systemic disease allows for the addition of systemic HD-MTX and IT Depocyt; in general patients receiving trastuzumab or lapatinib at the time of enrollment will be allowed to continue; bisphosphonates (i.e., zoledronic acid) and denosumab will be allowed; other non-CNS active chemotherapies might be allowed if no known interactions with study drugs are present; this must be reviewed and approved by the primary investigator on a case-by-case basis - Mini-mental state examination score of 24 or above Exclusion Criteria: - Serum bilirubin > 1.5 x the upper limit of reference range (ULRR) - Serum creatinine > 1.5 x ULRR or creatinine clearance =< 60 mL/minute (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) - Potassium, < 3.7 mmol/L despite supplementation; serum calcium (ionized or adjusted for albumin,) or magnesium out of normal range despite supplementation - Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2.5 x ULRR - Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) > 2.5 x ULRR or > 5 x ULRR if judged by the investigator to be related to liver metastases - Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or any concurrent condition which in the investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol - Patients with known pleural effusion or ascites - Prior treatment with whole brain radiotherapy (prior treatment with SRS is allowed under conditions provided in the inclusion criteria) - Previous allergic or adverse reaction to methotrexate or cytarabine - Prior treatment with systemic HD-MTX, IT liposomal cytarabine, or IT therapy of any kind - Prior IT therapy of any kind - Women who are currently pregnant or breast feeding - Previous or current malignancies of other histologies within the last 5 years, with the exception of cervical carcinoma in situ and adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin - Receipt of any investigational agents within 30 days prior to commencing study treatment - Last dose of prior chemotherapy was less than 4 weeks before the start of study therapy; patients who had no toxicities with prior chemotherapy can start study treatment earlier than 4 weeks - Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) less than 2 weeks before the start of study therapy - Any unresolved toxicity greater than Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1 from previous anti-cancer therapy - Previous enrollment in the present study - Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to starting therapy, with the exception of the Ommaya reservoir which can be used for introduction of chemotherapy within 48-72 hours after placement

Amazon and its recently-acquired subsidiary Whole Foods Market are once again raising the bar for retailers.
Starting immediately, Prime customers in neighborhoods of Austin, Cincinnati, Dallas and Virginia Beach can shop through Prime Now for bestselling items including fresh produce, high quality meat and seafood, everyday staples and other locally-sourced items from Whole Foods Market.
Prime Now will offer one- and two-hour delivery of most Whole Foods products.
Burning Stock on the move: Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM)
An increasing ROE indicates that a company is improving its ability to make profit without requiring as much capital. Reilly Advsrs Limited Co holds 0.04% of its portfolio in Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) for 2,391 shares.
The online retailing giant plans to roll out two-hour delivery at the organic grocer this year to those who pay for Amazon's $99-a-year Prime membership.
"We're happy to bring our customers the convenience of free two-hour delivery through Prime Now", Whole Foods CEO John Mackey says in the announcement. But a recent said some Whole Foods employees are complaining about a new inventory management system created to cut down on food waste. An employee will pick the products for a customer's order and pack them in a way that maintains their freshness.
You can expect most (but not all) of the items you'd find in an actual Whole Foods store, including booze. Under his leadership, Prime thrived to become one of the most successful customer loyalty programs anywhere, and added new services like Prime Now, a one-hour delivery option, and Prime Day, Amazon's one-day annual shopping event. One- and two-hour delivery is blazingly quick for grocery delivery, which may convince consumers to give Whole Foods through Prime Now a shot. Or, like, in two hours. Combined with Whole Foods' appeal, that may be enough to get consumers to choose Prime Now for grocery delivery.

The Rembrandt Virtual Tour - Lighting
We are grateful to the family of the late Derek Phillips for their permission to use much of the text and images from the website that was set up and run by him. Derek was very interested in local history and his community and a short biography can be viewed on the
introductory page
Probably the best the main auditorium looked post twinning (July 1989).
Although its a shame the troughs and chandeliers had to go.
Image courtesy of the Phillips family © 2007
Auditorium lighting was mainly by an indirect means. Three lighting troughs containing one hundred lamps each stretched across the width of the ceiling, providing light over the circle and front stalls. A pair of eight lamp chandeliers lit the rear circle. Under the circle five horseshoe shaped bays and four chandeliers lit the rear stalls. 1KW of concealed lighting illuminated the two murals on the front side walls.The total house lighting load came to around 12KW, and was spread over 3 dimmers.
Lamps were changed from the roof void. The troughs had gaps at the rear though which the lamps could be changed, whilst the chandelles were lowered by a winch. The lamps under the circle must have been reached via a ladder. Servicing the battens in the murals must have been quite risky. There was no access from behind and they are only made of fibrous plaster.
From notes made by the chief projectionist in the mid 1950's we can tell that there were three circuits of footlights, totalling 1.7KW. The lighting troughs (Battens) were rated at 1.5KW, 1.3KW and 1.1KW. This I assume was to provide progressively less illumination towards the screen. Later notes show all three troughs to have the same wattage.
These notes from the 1950's contain a great deal of information about the technical operation of the Rembrandt Cinema, and was obviously compiled by someone with a eye for detail, a great deal of professional pride in his work, and maybe just a little too much idle time in between reel changes. Do we really need to know that the rear stalls gents toilet had three 25watt lamps!!
After the cinema was twinned only the rear lighting cove was used, together with the "Pride" chandeliers over the rear circle. In 1983 the building was completely rewired to replace the old fuse and switch gear as well as the V.I.R cable. (The insulation cracks with age) For reasons of economy the lighting troughs, chandeliers and footlights were disconnected. This was because they would have had to be rewired internally, and in the case of the troughs, lifted from the ceiling - an almost impossible task. A number of circular plastic light fittings were suspended using the original winches and nylon rope. These were not particularly inspired fittings and had to be made bearable by placing a circle of red gell inside to as to draw attention away from them.
The tabs (curtains) were lit by four
Strand Patt 223 fresnel spots
. The recently painted murals were treated to three PAR 38 spot lamps each, which was a bit naff, but better than nothing. Two of the four fresnels were eventually pointed at the murals which looked better. The footlights were cut up and dumped and eventually replaced by a set of PAR 38 fittings scrounged from another cinema in 1988. The result is pictured above.
Attempts were made to acquire and rewire replacement chandeliers but the project never quite got finished.

Need I say more?
This year I had an egg hunt in the house (videos to come soon) and I got lots of bugs in my Easter Basket.
My favorite part was still the chocolate!
Today, we went to brunch at Ashmont Grill and then to the park with Zak and his mommy and daddy.
As you can see, we had a blast!
Today, I went with mommy and daddy over to Anna and Justin's house. Although, their house is very nice, I prefer to hang out in their driveway so that I can play with their rocks!
Mommy confessed that she often lets me take JUST ONE rock when we use their parking space. Free parking and free rocks; thanks Anna and Justin! ;)
Daddy was installing an organizer for mommy and I got my drill out and came to help!
Mommy says her boys are super cute!
I had fun helping mommy prepare for friends' thanksgiving this year. My favorite part was clearly operating the salad spinner!
Yesterday Enzo crawled away so I used my graphing calculator as bait to get him to come back to me.
He is into everything these days.

Richmond's juniors were to play Burnaby in the morning, but the Buffalos were only able to muster up 12 players by Friday night. So it was up to the senior sides to try and end off the year with a positive result. We were up against the lowly Surrey Beavers. With only one win in both divisions this year it would seem on paper that this one would be a cakewalk. The third division had a bye so Richmond would have several players on the sidelines for the 1:00 game.
The pressure was on from the kick off. The Surrey backs fielded the ball poorly and Richmond would take advantage. The ball would remain in the opposition 22 for the next five minutes while Richmond worked out their early handling issues. Eventually a blindside attack would see Eric Woods score in the corner. Richmond would continue to pressure the Beavers and Mike Marquardt would find the end zone for Richmond's second try. With the score at 10-0 in the first 15 minutes Richmond would become a little complacent. The Surrey standoff would take advantage of this attitude and kick the ball downfield to a pressuring beaver backline. The Richmond fullback mishandled the ball and it eventually led to a converted Surrey
It would not be a repeat of last weeks 2nd division debacle however, as Richmond continued it's onslaught. #8 Brandon Sims would, surprisingly, find himself in the backline, in support of Malchy, who would draw two players and feed the ball to Sims, on his outside. Sims would shed a couple of tacklers to put the ball down in goal. Mike Marquardt, who unfortunately will be returning to University of Victoria next term would, score his first of four tries minutes later. Surrey's only response was just before half time when they were awarded a penalty on an offside by the Richmond backline. The second half would continue to see Richmond pressing. Not to be outdone by the youth on the team, the venerable Tim Ross would take advantage of a quick ruck five meters out. After Pat Sherratt crashed the ball in the centre of the field Ross quickly picked the ball up and dove in for the score. Interspersed between Marquardt's other tries, prop Ryan Steele miraculously found himself on the wing as the ball was being swung back from the other side of the field. Unselfishly Eric Woods with a two on nothing overlap popped the ball to Steele for the score. To round off the scoring, recently returned from the land of Kiwis, John Stein, showed his speed by outpacing the Surrey winger and fullback to score under the posts. Richmond converted twice to round of the scoring, 49-10.
Several factors needed to be taken into account this weekend. While Surrey's first division was sharing the cellar with a 1-7 record, last weekend they were coming off of a win against Kamloops at home. Richmond's 1st division, on the other hand was coming off of an embarrassing 32-8 loss to Abbotsford the previous week. Couple these variables with the fact that Richmond only beat Surrey, basically, on the last play of the game last year, it was destined to be a good affair, despite the raucous Surrey sidelines.
The game started off at a quick pace, however that would change
very quickly as the combination of Surrey spoiling tactics and the growing penalty count slowed the game down considerably in the first half. Having only seen much of the second half, the feelings of the management was that too much ball was lost through poor handling and tackling and slow breakdown ball. There were a couple of bright spots however in the first half and they came in the form of tries by John Findlay who broke through at about the 22 meter line, fended off a couple of tackles and put the ball down under the posts for a 7-0 lead. Surrey would come back and answer with 3 points off of 1 of the 14 penalties awarded by the referee. The other bright spot on the day was play by winger Allan Tang. His first of two tries would be the last scoring play of the half for Richmond. After a series of open play breakdowns, Tang would scamper in for the try. Surrey, not to be outdone would come back and score, converted, for a Richmond 12-10 halftime lead.
At half time, the coach gave the squad a "pep talk" to the boys. Their play seemed to get a little more cohesive at this point. The only problem was that Surrey now had a reason to play even harder. The play was back and forth until Richmond was awarded a scrum. The ball went out to the backs, and the ball was sent to Marc Gaudrault who hit a gap and sprinted past a frozen defense. He then outpaced the fullback to score in the corner, unconverted.
Tempers started to flare as hard tackles were made and balls were turned over at the breakdowns, mysteriously. Surrey's veterans, on and off the pitch were vocal in talking about what should be called by the referee, and on whom. A push by the Surrey squad put Richmond on its heels. The ball was swung wide to the corner where a Surrey player barged over the line. A perceived late hit saw a typical Surrey scuffle break out for a period of time. Fortunately, the kicker missed the convert. Richmond 17 Surrey 15.
With only minutes to go Richmond stemmed the Surrey tide and put together it's own offensive push. They found themselves on the 35-meter line. After two quick open side attacks, the ball was swung back blind. The ball eventually found it's way into Allan Tang's hand who touched the ball down in the corner for the much needed five points, as the convert went wide. By this point, the Surrey forwards and backs had just run out of gas. The ensuing kick off saw Richmond maintain possession until Surrey forwards were penalized for coming around offside on their 22. The kick for goal was called accidentally and rather than giving the possibility of a return off of a missed kick. Rob Ponti elected to place kick the ball out of bounds, accidentally. Final score Richmond 22 Surrey 15.
Richmond 1st XV record for the first half 6 wins 3 losses
Richmond 2nd XV record for the first half 8 wins 1 loss

Hello, I stand as the head Diekon!! Along with my other reasons for joining TCF, little did I know that I would also come serving as a force of unification among the few of us. I aspire socialization (usually about the subject of these forums), although my intentions may get misinterpreted.
- Re-Logic Games Owned:
- Terraria: PC
- Terraria: Xbox 360
- Terraria: Mobile
- Terraria: Xbox One
As you can tell, I relish the prospect of wearing plants on my head with varying results (i.e. the eponymous Daikon Radish and Nature's Gift); some of which leading towards the seemingly childish demeanor of myself (as a Player Character). Plants or no plants, I regard myself as an optimistic, bashful, friendly, and ambigiously respectable person. Sometimes, I have tendencies of going long-winded for the simple stuff.
This game did wonders for me with even more done as updates loomed in as I would get thrown in a perpetual cycle ushering in a new period of experimentation that may or may not extend outside of itself. In the meantime, I also got myself making varying progress across older games with varying degrees of obscurity periodically and it wouldn't happen possible without the staff and modders. No seriously, you guys rock.
What I Can Do
I can't sprite for jack and build (ingame) for jack; either way, I do so just for the fun of it. Getting in the game also meant wanting the desire seeing its entities in the form of various pixel arts.Once, I looked at Minecraft to be the best place to do so; unfortunately, the colors (along with my judgement) prevented me from making any further progress. At Garry Newman's place, I can shine and captivate assorted users with what I have brought.
I don't rely on requests guiding me regarding these projects; although, there is some criteria that I follow before I move on that usually starts. I possess greater motivation on starting entries for certain reasons (such as file corruption).
Sharing means caring, and I like upholding the Jenny Everywhere principle when I do so; better something than nothing, after all!
This does not necessarily pertain at my pixel art; most of those things would fall in that category.
Great TimesThe game itself satisfies my plans for unification; allowing the assessment of interactions between new and old users (usually) and people who I think fare well with each other, just naming a few. Looking for someone intent on matchmaking? Most of the time, I'll send a Player intent on helping each other along the way. Keep in mind that I stay true to my headcanons mentioned below, although I'll break from them once in a while.
In fact, I took it upon myself changing my homepage from my Photobucket profile in favor of my Steam profile making things easier for everybody. I go with PC since I have many options for communication at my disposal. I can't wait!Terraria has modest headcanon potential, so I went about and justified nearly everything I do in-game. For example, Boris and his story thread considers itself a minor community effort, having asked others so they can allow inter-continuities. Nowadays, I hardly put out "original" content (stuff by me); having ghost written for my characters. Overall, I have fun.
I Like Writing
You can count on me! I won't let you down!

Massachusetts couples who plan on getting married might also want to consider a prenuptial agreement. This can be a valuable document that helps to protect the individual who comes into the marriage with more money and assets than the other one. However, it is important that the person with fewer assets and less money has some protection as well.
Too often, prenuptial agreements are drastically unfair to the party who enters the marriage with few or no assets. One example might be a spouse who is prohibited from ever receiving alimony regardless of their contributions to the marriage or family life. In one case, a prenuptial agreement was written in such a way that prevented the other spouse from accessing the other's assets even if the marriage ended naturally due to the death of the other spouse.
A good prenuptial agreement needs to protect the interests of both parties. At the time that a prenuptial agreement is negotiated, the two parties are presumably at a point in their relationship when they love and care for one another, and that same care should be applied to the tenets of the prenup. A prenup should provide some financial security for both people and not just for the one bringing more assets into the marriage.
Even with a prenup in place that both parties are happy with, people who are divorcing may still want to hire attorneys to assist with the process. One reason is that a prenup cannot cover child custody or child support. A person might also want to challenge a prenup. There may be grounds for doing so, such as when the prenup was signed a short time prior to the wedding under coercion or duress.

Although there is no concrete evidence, it is widely believed that the Ciboney peoples were the first inhabitants of the Caribbean Island of St.Lucia.
Some artifacts have been discovered which perhaps predates the arrival of The Arawaks but there is no proven archaeological evidence that anyone occupied St. Lucia before the arrival of the Arawaks in approximately AD 200.
23rd August 1605
There are many versions of St.Lucia's earliest history, but the one undisputed fact is the first attempt at a settlement on 23rd August 1605 by a group of 67 people on a ship driven off course on its way to Guiana.
However, soon after their arrival, they were attacked by native Caribs and after heavy fighting the 19 remaining settlers were forced to flee the island.
In 1638 Captain Judlee (in some sources referred to as Major Judge or Jadlee), with a commission from Sir. Thomas Warner, arrived in Saint Lucia with about 300 men. For about 18 months, the settlement prospered and grew, without any major misunderstandings with the natives.
August 1640
The peace came to an end, in August 1640, when the Caribs, because of trouble encountered in another island, attacked Captain Judlee's settlement. In a bitter fight, motivated by revenge, and with Caribs from neighboring islands assisting their kith and kin, many hundreds were killed, and the very few settlers who survived had to flee the island. These two experiences, quite under-standably, caused the British to steer clear of the island for more than two decades..
In the meantime, however, the French developed an interest in Saint Lucia, claiming that it had been included in a grant made by Cardinal Richelieu to M. d'Esnambus in October 1626. Despite this claim, it was 17 years before M. de Parquet, Lieutenant-General of Martinique, appointed M. Rousselan as Governor of Saint Lucia. M. Rousselan, who married a Carib, kept his post until his death in 1654.
Following the death of Rousselan, there were frequent changes in the Governor- ship of the island until 1660, when local treaties were negotiated by the French Governors of St.Christopher and Guadeloupe and the British Governors of Nevis, Antigua, and Montserrat and between the French and Caribs. These agreements, however, left Saint Lucia in the hands of the French.
In 1663, Francis Lord Willoughby arrived in Barbados, as Governor, and he immediately started to look for somewhere to send that island's surplus population. He turned to the neighboring island of Saint Lucia. The intention of Lord Willoughby and the Barbadians soon came to the knowledge of the French; they immediately informed the British Govern-ment of the title deeds of the Heirs du Parquet and they put Saint Lucia into a state of defence by erecting fortifications along Choc Bay.
The French claim was ignored, however, and the following year, more than 1000 Barbadians, accompanied by 600 Caribs, invaded Saint Lucia. The invaders met no resistance and, after surrounding the fort and calling upon the Governor, M. LeSieur Bonnard, to surrender, they took possession of the island. The Barbadian settlement did not last long, and by February 16, 1666, it was abandoned, following sickness, attacks by the Caribs, and many other difficulties.
Learning of the abandonment the French immediately returned, but they were quickly driven out by Francis Lord Willoughby, with forces from Barbados. The following year, the Peace of Breda placed Saint Lucia in the hands of the French.
The British soon made another bid for the island. In 1672, they appointed William, Lord Willoughby, as Governor of Saint Lucia as well as Barbados, St.Vincent and Dominica; but the French still continued to occupy the island.
When the Company administering the island, on behalf of the French Government, was dissolved in 1674, Saint Lucia was annexed to the domain of the French Crown and made a dependency of Martinique. This action did not deter the British in their efforts to get possession of the island, and in 1686, they made another unsuccessful attempt - their ship of 50 guns was driven off.
The Saint Lucia colony of Frenchmen remained unmolested by the British until 1700, when Governor Grey of Barbados, by order of the King of England,set claim to Saint Lucia, and informed d'Amblimont, Commander-in-Chief of the French Antilles, that he had been instructed to expel the French settlers. Grey was informed that any attempt to take the island would be repelled; and this announcement put an immediate end to the whole affair.
August 1713
In 1713, the Peace of Utrecht was signed and a large number of French deserters arrived in Saint Lucia. The colony became so large that Marechal Count d'Estrees applied to the Regent of France for a grant of the island; this was upheld through Letters Patent issued in August 1718. The British objected to the grant by the Duke of Orleans, but no military opposition was immediately mounted. On July 24, the following year, d'Estrees organised a ceremony to mark his achievement and a Mass was offered in honour of Saint Lucy.
June 20th 1722
D'Estrees did not long remain in undisputed possession, and on June 20, 1722, the island, along with St. Vincent, was granted by the King of England to John, Duke of Montague, who, at a cost of 40,000 pounds sterling, fitted out an expedition, and appointed Mr.Nathaniel Uring as his Deputy-Governor in the islands.
Sept 10th 1722
On September 10, the same year, Uring left Britain with a large flotilla. He reached Barbados on December 7, and arrived at Saint Lucia nine days later, to set up a settlement at Petit Carenage. Local French opposition was strong and very soon a warning came from Martinique that unless Uring and his settlers made a withdrawal within 15 days, they would be forced to do so. Uring tried to get help from British warships in the area, but this was not forthcoming. Faced with heavy landings of French troops, the Duke of Montague's Deputy-Governor immediately realised that the safest course was to leave the island.
A formal treaty was drawn up between the representatives of the colony and the French authorities in Martinique. The articles of the Treaty of Choc, as the document was named, provided that the French should leave Saint Lucia after the British had done so, and the island should be placed in a neutral state until the metropolitan governments of France and Britain had taken a definite decision on its future allegiance..
The withdrawal of the French troops did not result in the end of occupancy by the nationals of France, for the French colonists remained and continued to work their estates. Very soon, they were joined by other settlers from Martinique. At the same time, though, there were also a few British families, mostly Irish, on the island.
In 1735, a proclamation, calling for the withdrawal of all the settlers was issued. It was not obeyed, for the people had been developing their estates and were not willing to abandon them.
The next formal attempt to settle Saint Lucia was made in 1744 when the Governor-General of Martinique, the Marquis de Champigny, took advantage of the war beween England and France and established a garrison under the command of M.de Longueville. The Treaty of Aix La Chapelle, in 1748, again declared Saint Lucia neutral, but it was stipulated that the claims for the island should be examined. There was no evacuation, however, and until 1756, the island virtually remained a French colony, (with de Longueville as Civil Commandant)..
In 1756, England and France were once again at war, and more troops were sent to Saint Lucia by the Governor-General of the French West Indies. It was not until 1762 that the British decided to again occupy the island, after the capture of Martinique by Rodney and de Monkton. A detachment was sent to Saint Lucia, and de Longueville soon surrendered, and Saint Lucia passed into British possession on February 25, 1762. But on February 10 the following year, the Treaty of Paris put Saint Lucia back into the hands of the French.
For the next 15 years, there was virtual peace in Saint Lucia. During the period, estates were developed and the fortifications were strengthened with the building of massive forts on Morne Fortune. The capital was also removed from Petit Carenage and built on its present site - but the time of undisturbed peace had not yet fully come.
Towards the end of 1778 orders were issued from London to Sir Henry Clinton, who was then stationed in New York. He was instructed to send reinforcements to the British commanders in the West Indies to be employed "in the conquest of Saint Lucia." On December 13, 1778, Admiral Barrigton's reinforced squadron, with 12 transports and more than 5,000 men, entered Grand Cul-de-Sac Bay, and that same evening, Brigadier General Meadows and Prescot effected a landing. The Chavelier de Micoud, who was then in command of the island with only a few officers and about 60 men at Morne Fortune, was quickly driven out, although he had been able to muster two companies of militia among the inhabitants.
Withdrawing to Morne Paix Bouche, de Micoud sent vessels to Martinique to inform Admiral Count d'Estaing of the attack. The French Admiral promptly responded to the appeal and arrived at the island late in the evening. However, he decided to wait until next day to start his attack upon the invaders. This attack started early but on three occasions it was repulsed. Despite the superiority of his forces d'Estaing eventually withdrew, after ten days of fighting.
The colony was then surrendered to the British, and General Grant took possession on behalf of the English Crown.
Two years later, on October 10-11, Saint Lucia was struck by a hurricane, gravely affecting its agriculture and trade, and causing many estates to be abandoned.
In May 1781, the French made another attempt to wrest Saint Lucia from the British. With 25 men-of-war, Admiral Count de Grasse sailed from Martinique to attack the island. He was seconded by the Marquis de Bouille who, with a large body of troops, was able to make a landing at Gros Islet. But their presence was only temporary, and a restricted success, for they were all soon driven off and had to withdraw to Martinique.
At the negotiations for the Treaty of Versailles in 1783, the future possession of Saint Lucia was an important topic and it was eventually agreed that the island should pass into French hands; it was thus delivered up to the French Governor-General, de Damas, in January 1784. For the next five years, the island went through remarkable economic improvement under the Governorship of Baron de Labourie; but the year of his death, 1789, was also the start of the French Revolution, and this brought with it new trouble for Saint Lucia.
Two years after the Revolution started, local agitation reached its climax when two revolutionary agents, Montdenoiz and Linger, hoisted the Tricolore on Morne Fortune causing the Governor, Colonel de Gimat to flee the island. As 1782 came to its close, the revolutionaires gained more inspiration from captain La Crosse who had been entrusted with the duty of propagating the new political philosophy in the island. The following year, the National Convention of France sent out General Ricard as Governor. He arrived in Saint Lucia on 3rd February 1793, and the following day, he promulgated the Decree for the Abolition of Salavery in the French Antilles.
Ricard was also responsible for giving Republican names to all the island's towns and villages. When war broke out between the French Republic and Britain, it was not long before it spread to the West Indies; and on April 4, 1794, British Colours were hoisted at Morne Fortune by HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, Sir Charles Gordon, with a big garrison, was left behind to govern the island. The surrender of the island sent many French ex-slaves and soldiers to the woods. From their encampments they launched attack after attack upon the British garrison, which, at the same time, was sorely tested and reduced by illness.
The attacks upon the British became more determined with the arrival of a large body of Republican troops under the command of Commissary Goyrand. He soon organised the disorganised forces, and, considerably reduced by illness, the garrison could offer little resistance. By June 1795, in spite of some strong opposition at Vieux-Fort and Rabot by Brigadier-General Stewart, the British evacuated.
April 1796
Less than 12 months later, on April 26, 1796, 12,000 troops, supported by a detachment of Rear-Admiral Sir Hugh Christian's squadron, arrived off the island under the command of Lieutenant- General Sir Ralph Abercrombie. Men were landed at Longueville Bay, Choc Bay, and Anse La Raye, and from these points they moved on Morne Fortune which had been heavily fortified by Goyrand. The resistance which the British troops and Moore was able to take possession of Morne Fortune and plant the British colours.
This defeat marked the beginning of the end for the Republicans, for despite continued resistance by those who were in the other parts of the island, they eventually gave up before the end of 1797. By that time, Moore, who had been appointed Governor after the victory of the previous year had been forced to return to Britain because of illness and he had been replaced by Colonel James Drummond.
By 1802, however, the Treaty of Amiens once again put Saint Lucia into the hands of the French. But it was not long before Britain and France were once again at war, and on June 19, 1803, Commodore Hood and Lieutenant-General Grinfield set out from Barbados to take Saint Lucia. The squadron reached Choc Bay two days later, and the troops, disembarking without opposition, immediately set themselves up at La Vigie and Castries. They called upon the French Commander to lay down arms, and when this request was not met, the fort was attacked.
Brigadier -General Jn.Fs Xavier Nogues, the Governor, eventually surrendered at the end of what was to be the last battle for Saint Lucia between the French and the British. The island remained in British hands until it was finally ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Paris in 1814.
Up to 1838, Saint Lucia was administered as a separate territorial unit, with its Governor being in direct contact with the Colonial Office. In that year, it was annexed to the Government of the Windward Islands which then comprised Barbados, Grenada, Saint Vincent and Tobago, with the seat of Government at Barbados.
It remained in the Windward Islands Group, in spite of many changes in the Group's composition, until the post of Governor of the Windward Islands was abolished on December 31, 1959.
January 1st 1960
On January 1, 1960, a new Constitution came into force and the island was once again being administered as a separate unit with an Administrator advised by an Executive Council comprising a Chief Minister, four other ministers ( one without portfolio), and the Attorney General. The Legislative Council then comprised ten elected members, two nominated members and the Territory's Attorney General, with a Speaker presiding at the sessions.
1st March 1967
The next major constitutional development came on March 01, 1967 when Saint Lucia became an Associated State, with full control over all her internal affairs,and Britiain having responsibility for her Defence and Foreign Affairs, in consultation with the island's government.
Under this status, the territory's Representative of the British Monarch again assumed the title of Governor, but for the first time, in its long history, the appointment was made after consultation with the citizens' elected leader.
22nd Feb 1979
This "association" continued until February 22, 1979, when the island became an Independent member of the Commonwealth of former British Empire territories.

The Special Needs Trust Fairness Act/
Congress established first-party special needs trusts (SNTs) in 1993 with the intent to allow people with disabilities to remain eligible for public benefits, such as SSI and Medicaid, when they receive a lump-sum settlement or inheritance. Normally, receipt of a large sum of money would disqualify these individuals from the means-based governmental benefit.
SNTs generally may not pay for food, clothing, or shelter, which is what Social Security Income is designed to pay for. The SNT is used to supplemental the individual's needs by paying for expenses such as physical therapy, medications, medical treatment, transportation, education, furniture, etc. Direct payments to the beneficiary are not permissible.
Currently, an SNT may only be established by a parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or court. They may not be established by the disabled beneficiary, even when he or she has capacity to do so. This is inconsistent with the requirements for pooled first party SNTs, which are administered by nonprofit organizations and were also created by Congress in 1993. Individuals with disabilities have always been able to establish pooled trust accounts for themselves.
Congressmen Glenn Thompson (R-Pa) and Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) recently introduced the Special Needs Trust Fairness Act of 2015, which is designed to make it easier for people with special needs to create their own first party SNTs. Congressman Frank Pallone, was quoted in a Press release issued by Congressman Thompson's office, as saying that the "barriers that currently prohibit an individual from creating a Special Needs Trust, despite having the mental capacity to do so, have no basis in reality and place an undue burden on disabled individuals who are simply trying to make ends meet."
The Senate unanimously passed the bill on September 9, 2015. It has now been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

- Product Code:5-00532
- Availability:In Stock
Arbeitsbuch Gestapo employee Hildegard Etz, employee in the Gestapo Stelle Koblenz, working in "Einsatz Kommando Luxemburg" stamped with "Geheime Staatspolizei, Staatspolizeistelle, Koblenz" . Etz moved on 1.1.45 to an active army training unit "Grenadier Ersatz und ausbildungs Battalion 388, Büdingen". Unsure what the exact task of Etz was in the Gestapo, before his service he graduated as business man ("kaufmann angestellte") and took his internship at the metal factory "Merz-Werke" untill 17.10.42. Inside of the book there was a civil photo of a party member. with clear "schmiss" in the face. It's possible that this is Etz at the later stages of the war, although no written connection can be made.
Book remains in very good condition.
Very hard to find original Gestapo related items.

Here's the full story from Pinkbike:
Ben was a good friend of mine, Yoda sent me this link today. Needless to say, I was shocked. He's been up to North Shore, B.C. with me a few years back, great BBQ at ROTR's place. Jim C, K'endo, Craig H., Yoda, Pup, spideysgirl, and numerous others have ridden with him. Last two years with the Cannuck invasions to Hood river, snowboarding at Mt. Hood, brew festivals in PDX. All good times...
He loved biking, loved good beer, not much else to say... he's gone now and will be missed by many.

In May 2000, a group of orthopedists, headed by Dr. Emiliano B. Tablante, established the Philippine Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (POFAS). The initiative was started by Prof. G. James Sammarco, one of the American foreign speakers during the Philippine Orthopaedic Association (POA) 50th Anniversary Convention, and was followed up by a small group of orthopaedic surgeons who were interested in the problems of the foot. They gathered together to share knowledge, orientation and ideas on the proper treatment of foot ailments.
The initial years were difficult times since not many of our senior colleagues in POA had any formal advanced training in the current and ideal management of foot and ankle problems particularly in the adult foot. The tenacity and perseverance of the society's leaders allowed them to maintain their primary objectives and mold a formal foot and ankle society. Thus, forming the First Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society in Southeast Asia and the third in the entire Asian region.

NYU Wagner Launches New Specialization in Advocacy & Political Action
NYU Wagner's commitment to the next generation of public service leaders across all professional sectors and disciplines expands this year with the launch of a new specialization—Advocacy and Political Action—for students who are seeking a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree in Public and Nonprofit Management and Policy (PNP).
The Advocacy and Political Action specialization prepares students to increase their impact and create meaningful change in the arenas of civic engagement, political, and advocacy.
"America and the world need passionate and well-trained activists to run for office, manage political campaigns, lead, or even found organizations and movements that can be a source of health and repair amid divisiveness and polarization," said Professor David Elcott, who helms the specialization in Advocacy and Political Action. "We are proud to offer a wide and deep range of courses and experiences to prepare our students to bring about lasting, positive change."
Students will begin with an opportunity to study strategic communications, advocacy, and organizing, while building on the strong foundation in management, finance, and policy they receive through NYU Wagner's core coursework.
They will then develop deep knowledge in the specific issue area they most care about through a variety of electives, and understand how to apply their learnings to issue campaigns, grassroots organizing, lobbying, and political campaigns. Each student will bring these skills into the field through Advocacy Lab and Capstone—working with real-world organizations.
Students in the new specialization will graduate prepared to organize members of their community, lead a nonprofit issue advocacy campaign, run for elected office, and be a catalyst for social improvement around the world.

Kundalini Rising
This is a journey into the body. Traveling through the temple – let your breath guide you to the sweetness of your heart's song – and breathe life into your dreams.
Whatever you have been visioning for your life *is* possible.
What if underneath all of your outdated belief systems — your body and soul knew how perfect you are.
Well, it's true! When we release old stories and ways of behaving we are invited to our perfection — which is always there! We can quite literally 'be' in perfect presence through deep connection to our temple bodies. Instead of letting the mind be in control we can use our minds as a tool to create the life of our dreams.
Are you on the brink of a huge change in your life?
What if extra support and community was the support you needed to break on through to the other side.
Has your heart been whispering to you, speaking about new visions for your life?
Are you ready to live in alignment with your passion and purpose?
I know a few years ago I was dreaming of traveling the world, teaching yoga, and living in the jungle.
I had no idea how I would get there or what even to do to make it happen! Up until that point in my life I had always lived in the US and had always been more comfortable just "dreaming"
Kundalini Rising – March 23 – March 27
Danyasa Eco Retreat and Yoga www.danyasa.com
Dominical, Costa Rica
A Tantric Journey to Consciously Creating your Life
"Stop acting so small. You are the entire Universe in ecstatic motion."
Brothers and Sisters.
You contain an energy within that is capable of creating life.
Kundalini — or vital life-force energy — is cradled within your root, ready to rise through your body and support you in creating the life of your dreams. When the Kundalini is activated and channeled through the body it naturally obliterates any blockages that you have to your inherent power and truth, reconnecting you to the Source of all life.
Join Hannah Marie in a 4 day and 5 night retreat that will introduce you to Tantra and the Kundalini Life Force while activating your mind, body, and spirit connection so that you can Consciously Create the Life that you desire. It is time for you to live that vibrant life and to share your great gifts with the world. Stop acting so small! Own your power and accept your perfection.
This retreat is the perfect introduction to Tantra and Kundalini work as we will only focus on individual experiences (rather than say, couples work).
- Get Clear on your Purpose and Passions
- Connect to your chakra's with actual activities rather than conceptual information (Breathwork, Dance, Sound, Daily Workshops, Journaling)
- Relax in Paradise and allow your daily stressors to fall away so you can Hear what your truth is!
- Use Kundalini Energy to Raise your Vibration and have more energy, more stamina, more vibrancy to actualize your dreams. LIFE is meant to be joyful, pleasurable, and full of passion – give yourself permission and come play!
- Enjoy 3 high – vibe, rainbow meals a day
- Daily Yoga
- Nature Excursion
- Spa Experience (Massage/Clay masks)
- Beautiful Pool onsite
- Shuttle to and from airport included!!
The less time you spend in your head the more time you spend in your body — the easier it is to listen to the innate wisdom within and to trust the subtle sensations that are giving you clear indication of what is best for you vs. what is not aligned with your highest good.
We will work with embodied activities that clear stagnant energy and allow Kundalini to flow freely within your body. We will support this energy's flow with real-life ACTION to match your inner-landscape and heart's dreams to your outer reality.
Each of us is born divine. We are powerful creators – imaginative children – that when raised appropriately, can use our energy to manifest and create anything we have ever imagined.

30 March 2012. There will be a special late night opening of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper on Friday 30 March from 19.30 to 22.30 thanks to the support of Eni. This not-to-be missed evening opening will give visitors the chance to admire da Vinci's masterpiece.
Leonardo has depicted the Last Supper in the Refectory of the Convent of S. Maria delle Grazie for Ludovico Maria Sforza, better known as the Moor, between 1494 and 1497. For this wall painting the artist did not use the traditional technique of afresco, which requires a rapid application of colour on damp plaster, but he decided to test a new method, which allowed him to intervene on a dry plaster as well as to return to the work and adjust every detail. Unfortunately, Leonardo's intuitions were wrong and very soon the painting started deteriorating for an unfortunate combination of causes. Accordingly, throughout the centuries the painting underwent various restorations in the desperate attempt to save this masterpiece. In 1999, the last conservative intervention terminated after 20 years of work. It removed many touch ups and brought to light what remained of the original drafts. The precarious conditions of this painting forces the museum to observe strict rules of access, allowing only 30 people to enter the room every 30 minutes.

A friend of mine just had vertigo and had to take a week off work. Lying in bed she reflected on what she really wanted out of life. After a few days of nothing to do but think – she figured it out.
Instead of just living life by default she's decided to take life into her own hands.
It's easy to live your days reactively distracted by every e-mail, text, tweet or message that comes in. It's easy to say yes to every meeting or jump to the demands of someone else. But it's hard to say no, and it's hard to carve out a time for yourself where you can think about what the next best move is.
Instead of wandering around making minor progress in different directions, a little time to think will help you focus your attention towards accomplishing something that actually matters.
We all have 24 hours in a day but it's it's what we do with those hours that matter.
To figure out what truly matters, you need to have space to think and the discipline to be selective in the choices you make.

I happened to notice this small restaurant (see menu below) as I was examining the small town of Hornillos del Camino in Burgos Province as I just passed through on my virtual trek, now at a distance of 193.8 miles. It's a rather inconspicuous place (in fact, somewhat hard to find) but has some interesting info in its Google listing. So here's it's simple menu (hand copied from photo, translated by Microsoft) and you can see a couple of the dishes (shown in blue in menu) in the photos on Google maps. This one is fairly easy to translate with just modest amount of learning Spanish; I only missed remolacha (beet, not a favorite for me) from memory.
Based on the photos I think I'd need more food after walking all day. As much as the Camino fascinates me, frankly, this part of it is really boring and this small town is uninteresting. But that may be part of the trip, plenty of opportunity to be contemplative here rather than exciting sight-seeing tourism.
Note: In case you're not using to using Google Maps go to maps.google.com in your browser and then search for Hornillos del Camino, Burgos, Spain. You'll see the Green Tree as a POI indicator – click on that to bring up the information page with photos.

Honoring WWII Patriots: CAF B-29 FIFI Flies Again! (With Video)
The Commemorative Air Force B-29 'FIFI' is back in the air! photo: Mark Russell via CAF
I put up a detailed FIFI post back at the end of June when we thought that the CAF's Boeing B-29 Superfortress was going to make her first flight since 2004. As it turned out, there were delays getting the FAA to certify the airplane ready for flight, but that's all in the past now... Yesterday, August 5, 2010, a little before 9 am, FIFI and her new engines left earth for the wild blue yonder!
The 39 minute test hop of the world's only flyable B-29 went on without a hitch. The modified and updated Wright R-3350 engines performed as hoped, and should make keeping this historic aircraft in the air much easier than in the past when the original versions of the engines were used.
And, while it's great to see an amazing piece of work like the B-29 back in the air, the real value comes from what this airplane can do to bring honor to the patriots of WWII that fought and gave their lives for the United States.
A big thank you goes out to Jim Cavanaugh for the significant financial support, and to the dedicated CAF members who have supported and worked on this important project. Welcome back FIFI, you are a beautiful sight to see!

By LISA CAPOBIANCO
Memorial Boulevard was buzzing last weekend with over 150 vendors, expanded children's activities and live entertainment during the 56th Annual Mum Festival.
With a theme of "Home Is Where The Heart Is," the four-day event kicked off on Thursday, Sept. 21 with a ribbon cutting, followed by the art and jazz gala. The first night of the festival ended with a fireworks show.
Shannen Tack, marketing chair of the Mum Festival Committee, said the festival kicked off with a great turnout, and the fireworks show went off "without a hitch."
"We had great drone footage of the fireworks show, so we're excited about that," said Tack.
"It's Bristol celebrating Bristol," said Mum Festival Committee volunteer Mickey Goldwasser, adding how the outdoor movie night on Friday also brought a good crowd.
"We market Bristol as the All Heart city, and this is the perfect example of it."
From local businesses to civic organizations to crafters, the boulevard turned into a full vendor blowout during the festival last Saturday, as Mother Nature brought sunny skies and 80-degree temperatures.
While festival-goers dived into a variety of food and beverages, hours of live performances took over the main stage. This year's Hometown Hero, Bristol Press columnist Bob Montgomery, also appeared on the main stage where he received a citation from the city.
"We prided on a community, family-friendly-focused event, and that's what we have this year—something for everyone," said Goldwasser, adding how the festival garnered lot of support from volunteers.
When the clock struck noon, Yale Healthcare's SkyHealth medical helicopter landed on the loading dock for the Touch-A-Vehicle program, which appealed to children and adults.
Flight Paramedic Larry Scott was on site with a registered nurse and pilot for SkyHealth, which flies on both Long Island and Connecticut.
"Hopefully, it reassures that there is this capability that we have in the area," said Scott, adding how children enjoyed having their pictures taken inside SkyHealth. "We have an aircraft that can provide medical services to regional hospitals and special centers."
This year, the Touch-A-Vehicle program returned with over two dozen attractions, including a Tilcon Connecticut quarry truck, the Bristol Fire Department fire engine and a Bristol Hospital ambulance truck.
While taking a tour inside the ambulance, children took turns playing with the sirens.
"It shows kids exactly what we do," said Shawn McCormick, a Bristol Hospital paramedic.
Besides vehicles, children and their families had a chance to sit on a carousel that was recently featured in the film, "Rebel in the Rye." George Marenna Jr., owner of Marenna Amusements, brought his carousel to the carnival. A drama that focuses on "Catcher in the Rye" author J.D. Salinger as a young writer in the 1930's, the new movie features Marenna operating his carousel.
Marenna, who had a one-liner in the film, was excited to have his carousel become a memory for festival goers—on and off the big screen.
"We're in the amusement business, but we're also providing a piece of education,'" said Marenna, adding that the film was "an opportunity of a lifetime."
Throughout the day, vendors like "Pickles by Staff," showcased their products to festival goers. A sixth grade teacher at West Bristol School, Jason Stafford brought his assortment of pickle creations to the festival for the first time.
Whether folks were on the lookout for a tasty dill pickle or a whole hot one, Stafford had a jar for every pickle aficionado.
"This is only my second festival," said Stafford, adding how he enjoyed bumping into community members he knew at the festival.
While Stafford's booth sparked curiosity among folks, Liberty Baptist Church in Bristol gave festival goers a chance to give back through its candy apple booth. The goal was to raise money for victims of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma through the Samaritan's Purse Disaster Relief, a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization that provides emergency aid to victims of all kinds of natural disasters nationwide.
Church member Gabrielle Devoe said the Mum Festival was a great way to get involved with the Bristol community while recognizing others who have lost just about everything.
"So many people locally don't know what to do," said Devoe. "We're thankful for whatever we're able to give."
"So many people are hurting, even people who are in the community," added church member Kim Grzybowski, who met a woman who was displaced from Florida.

Eggplant Casserole with Shrimp and Crabmeat
Melt the margarine over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot and add the onions, peppers and celery. Cook the vegetables until they are very soft, stirring occasionally, 30-45 minutes. Add the eggplant, shrimp stock, seasonings, and herbs to the vegetable mixture, return to a simmer, and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shrimp and continue to cook over medium high heat just until the shrimp turn pink, 5-7 minutes. Add the crabmeat and cook just long enough to heat through. Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions and parsley. Add breadcrumbs to bind all ingredients.
Serves 8.
