Examining Treatment Options for Localized Prostate Cancer
An expert sat down with CURE to discuss standard therapies for localized prostate cancer.
BY Gina Columbus
PUBLISHED November 16, 2016
The two standard treatment options for localized prostate cancer – surgery and radiation therapy – are not comparable to one another, according to Bertram Yuh, M.D.
"The reason for that is there is not a lot of good literature looking at these two treatments together—looking at these side-by-side," said Yuh, an assistant clinical professor of Urologic Oncology and a urologic oncology surgeon at City of Hope.
In an interview with
, Yuh discussed the selection of surgery or radiation therapy in patients with localized disease, as well as the potential for using active surveillance with these patients.
What are the standard treatments for localized prostate cancer?
The most standard treatments for local prostate cancer include surgical treatment to remove the prostate, as well as radiation treatments to essentially burn areas in the prostate. There are also additional therapies that have been looked at, but a lot of the data are not as robust, such as focal therapies like cryotherapy or high-intensity focused ultrasound. Generally though, in the present day and age, the mainstays of treatment tend to be surgery and radiation.
Do the outcomes differ between surgery and radiation therapy?
I discussed a lot about the outcomes of prostate cancer management and surgery and in radiation, but I mostly discussed the treatment outcomes separately. [Comparing the two treatments] is a type of study that is very difficult to run, in that it's hard to tell a patient, "We are going to do an operation for you, but you might get radiation instead, and vice versa, all right?"
Because of that, what we tend to see is that patients who undergo surgery are a little different population than patients who undergo radiation treatments. Because they're going into the operation or radiation treatment a little bit differently, it's really hard to compare them side-by-side. We know that both treatments can be very effective. They both can play a major role in the management of patients.
There may be certain patients who would be better served by one treatment or another, depending on their individual biases. Some patients may be very against having an operation, for instance. Or, some patients may be very scared of radiation therapy. Therefore, we want to be sensitive to that.
How do you decide which treatment a patient is better suited for? What are some of the things you look for?
One of the very important things is to try our best to set aside biases. This is a very big challenge. A lot of clinicians are going to have certain treatments that they feel may be better for one reason or another. When talking to patients, you really need to try to present the options to them as objectively as possible.
[You need to discuss] the effects of an operation, the effects of radiation therapy, and what to expect when they go through one of these different treatments.
You want to paint that picture for patients and explain to them, "This is what we would expect to see after one year, and this is what we would expect to see after three or five years." They get a better idea of how to make a decision about these various treatments.
What are some of the difficulties that you have to overcome in comparing the two groups and getting an accurate distinction?
Most of the comparison that we look at is not necessarily a straight side-by-side comparison. It's more of an observational analysis in that we're looking at patients who are undergoing surgery. We're looking at patients who are undergoing radiation treatments. We are looking at how they do years down the line after their treatments. There are some studies that have been performed, and looking at retrospective data suggesting that surgery has some benefits in certain patients. Radiation therapy may have benefits in certain patients, but I don't think that there's a catchall treatment for all patients.
How will treatment for prostate cancer evolve in the next five to 10 years?
I see that the realm of treatment for prostate cancer is going to change, as we know it. We will see that more advanced, higher-stage cancers are going to come into view for us clinicians. With that is going to come more challenges. We know that the more aggressive the disease, the less effective our treatments are, unfortunately. To be able to address that, to be able to continue to deliver the optimal care, we need to continue to search for novel treatments, and combinations of treatments that will really improve upon what is our current paradigm.
When using active surveillance, how do you know when a patient may need to start active treatment?
Part of this comes with upfront counseling with patients. Because when we talk to patients about active surveillance, we tell them that it is a surveillance strategy, so we're keeping an eye on things. It is active, so it involves them not just sitting around, they're going to come in and be evaluated. They're going to get some tests along the way. They understand that, over time, there's a pretty good chance that they'll potentially need some treatments. A lot of patients are able to rationalize the fact that if they don't necessarily require a treatment immediately, they may be able to live and carry on their life just as they normally would without significant changes.
Therefore, even if you tell a patient, "We're going to give you treatment, but we're going to give that treatment to you in five years," a lot of patients would take that. Setting the stage for that is important.
When it comes to understanding the cancer itself and we are watching it carefully — not that we will be able to detect every cancer that changes — but with a combination of various tools, such as blood or genomic tests that are disposable, we will get a pretty good sense of what the cancer is doing over time. With that knowledge in hand, we can understand if this cancer is actually looking more dangerous. Is it something we really need to then get addressed at this time point?
When we have objective information that we gather from these various tools, when we talk with patients about what happens if we keep watching it versus what happens if we stop watching it, a lot of times we can arrive on the same page with patients in terms of making a decision about treatment or not.

The new live-action Star Wars TV drama series will be more expensive than Game of Thrones.
The upcoming new live-action Star Wars TV drama series will reportedly be more expensive than Game of Thrones - itself one of the most expensive TV productions ever in television's new so-called Gilded Age filled with more ultra-premium, high-cost series than what anyone can ever hope to all watch.
In television's new arms race to make and roll out expensive and prestige-filled series as existing broadcasters try to retain their relevance and ratings, while streaming video services likewise ramp up and splash the cash on lavish shows, Disney is the latest to make it rain mega-bucks to create a must-watch drama.
Hidden inside a lengthy new business article in The New York Times about The Walt Disney Company's as yet unnamed and to be launched Disney subscription video-on-demand service (SVOD), is an eye-watering statistic: that Disney plans to spend $10 million (R134.2 million) per episode - per episode! - on making the new Star Wars drama series.
The New York Times article also reveals that the as yet unnamed Star Wars series will have a first season of 10 episodes. It means that the production budget for the series will be over R100 million.
HBO, producer of the fantasy drama series, Game of Thrones, seen in South Africa and across the rest of Africa on M-Net (DStv 101), in September 2017 revealed that the 7th season of Game of Thrones cost $10 million per episode but that the upcoming final 8th season would cost $15 million per episode, making the last season of Game of Thrones TV's most expensive per-episode show yet.
However, because earlier seasons cost less and had more episodes and because Game of Thrones' last season will only have 6 episodes - and with Star Wars start off with $10 million and also foreseeably running into multiple season in the future - it's clear that Star Wars will actually surpass Game of Thrones as television's most expensive show. For now.
Other shows are however nipping at the heels when it comes to TV-making sticker shock.
Netflix's royalty-laden The Crown available on Netflix South Africa also cost $10 million per episode (Buckingham Palace is a big place with multiple drafty rooms to meticulously recreate inside a soundstage).
And there are other "scary things": The first season of the supernatural drama series Stranger Things also available on Netflix South Africa cost $6 million per episode, and increased to $8 million for the second season.
Star Trek: Discovery made by CBS Television Studios and available outside America on Netflix like Netflix South Africa, had a price tag of $8.5 million for its first season and a total production budget of more than $120 million.
Now take a deep breath because the upcoming Star Wars series with its "most expensive" label that hasn't even landed yet, will be eclipsed by another "most most expensive" show that will make it debut sometime in late-2019.
This one is even further off into production development. Amazon Studios' Lord of the Rings TV series that will unspool on its Amazon Prime Video streaming service, and rumoured to start around 2021, will come in at a cost of $1 billion for at least 5 seasons.

Shocking I know..but I do have a life list.. A list of things that I'd like to accomplish with my slightly sound mind, somewhat functioning body, & incredible desire to be content when I'm laying on my death bed & know that I put it all out there... To give you a peek at my list (in no particular order):
- Have a real and lasting partnership
- Travel to at least twenty countries
- Read the Bible cover to cover
- Be comfortable in my own skin
- Raise Cole to be an amazing man
- Sit at Cole's college graduation & know I've given him the tools to be successful in life
- Sky Dive
- Bungee Jump
- Take a Hot Air Balloon ride
- Own a convertible
- Go on a mission trip to Africa
- Have a career that is meaningful to me
- Always have at least five friends who I know I can count on
- Run a marathon...or maybe just a lot of races..(see further commentary below)
- Write a book..even if it's never published
- Become deeply involved in a charity that is meaningful to me
- Go on a trip alone... and find myself again...at least three times in my life
- Make sure the people I love---know it...
- Buy an old house and restore it... (this one is becoming less and less appealing as I struggle to keep my somewhat new house from falling down)
- Allow myself to fully accept Grace
- Liposuction (ok I'm kidding about this one...)
- Own a beach cruiser bicycle (red of course) with a basket and ride around on it..even when I'm 80
- Own a home with a porch swing
- Learn to knit (I need something to do when I'm old)
- Learn to play the guitar...
- Matter to people
- Take lots of photography classes
- Live on the water at some point in my life
- Make it to the end of my life & be at peace
If someone had read my life list from several years ago it would have included a lot of career type or financial goals. I guess I'm just becoming a slacker in my old age? Or maybe I've just accepted that those are just accomplishments and it's more about the journey and the relationships I form outside of my profession that fulfill me? What really makes us successful anyway? I'm still wrapping my mind around this one.
I am proud to say that with the help of marketing boy I completed my first 5k race on Saturday (see life list # 14) Yes, I ran the whole thing and didn't pass out. I didn't even stop for water or to walk. So I was pretty pleased. I'm waiting for race results to be posted- but I know for a fact that I didn't finish last!
However, Tuesday reality set in for me when I couldn't really walk without pain. I twisted my back some sort of crazy way running over the weekend I think? After the back spasm my goal has become less about running a marathon because I just don't think this body is equipped to do that... so I'll settle for running a lot of races for charity and keep my acupuncturist, chiropractor extraordinaire Dr. Miner on speed dial..
Maybe I'll work up to a 10k eventually, but I'm thinking why in the world do I need to run more than 6 miles at one time? That's what cars are for...so bye bye marathon aspirations. My back hurts!

Membership for 2019-20 revealed
After the success of our first year's membership programme, we're excited to be announcing membership programme for the coming 2019/20 season.
There are a couple of changes that we are introducing:
A cap on the number of SBC Members
Perhaps unsurprisingly, after introducing a booking system for non-Members over the summer, to manage capacity, we've had a large influx of enquiries from new players about wanting to sign up for Membership.
Combined with feedback from Members at our recent AGM, we have decided to cap the number of players able to sign up as SBC Members this coming year.
Priority for existing Members to renew
We want to recognise the support we've had from existing Members, so they will have first dibs on Membership for the year ahead.
Existing 2018/19 SBC Members are now able to pay their renewal fee of £10, either at a club night or via bank transfer (please message our FB page if you choose the latter, as we have a new club bank account and can share the details there).
For anyone who was a 2018/19 member, your membership is still valid until it expires on 17 September 2019.
New Members wanting to sign up
From Friday 20 September, Membership spots will be opened for new Members to sign up.
Should players wish to sign up to be an SBC Member for the first time, the subscription fee for the full year is £15.
Players must already be registered with SBC (i.e. have previously played at a club night and filled out a form) and must pay either at a club night or via bank transfer – new club bank account details available by messaging our Facebook page.
Membership is offered at the Committee's discretion, and players who don't abide by the club's code of conduct, may be refused Membership.
Membership perks
The Membership perks for the coming year are being developed by committee members, but early ideas are listed on our Membership page.
Thank you as always for your support, and we look forward to your involvement in the club continuing.

A few years ago I "met" some wonderful ladies who love photography at least as much, possibly even more (!), than I do. We all took an online class together through Clickin' Moms. Since that class ended, these women have become a huge part of my photography journey. I have learned so much from them and they continue to be one of my biggest sources of encouragement.
Several of us have started a monthly blog circle where we plan to share different things we're working on. This month's theme is Composition. In all of the following images I was working on using my backgrounds (negative space/depth of field) to isolate the subject. I was also playing with color as a composition tool.

Reichelt W N
Vienna University of Technology, Austria
Title: Transient physiologic states: Friend or foe?
Reichelt W N is a Project Assistant in the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Mechanistic and Physiological Methods for Improved Bioprocesses at the Vienna University of Technology (VUT). He studied Biochemistry at the Karl Franzens University in Graz before doing his Master's thesis in the field of programmed cell death and aging. After a year of PhD research in the field of neurodegeneration (Parkinson), he transitioned to the field of bioprocess technology at VUT to acquire in-depth understanding of pharmaceutical bioprocess production process approaches. Within his PhD work, he is spanning applied to basic science by developing and employing physiological bioprocess control strategies to tweak industrial bioprocesses to maximum productivity. Hereby, the project unifying goal is to gain mechanistic insight into bioprocess physiology to ultimately achieve comprehensive bioprocess understanding and transferable platform knowledge.
Progressively expiring patent protection brings forward generic drug industry and heats up competition for the most efficient and robust bioprocesses. While competition is intensifying, the FDA quality by design (QbD) initiative for increased process understanding is increasing demands concerning bioprocess development. These circumstances cumulate to the necessity of comprehensive process understanding and consequently highly efficient bioprocess development routines. For bioprocess development, literature has comprehensively proven the feeding strategy an especially promising target. Having mastered the feedback control of physiological rates by the use of soft sensors, the subsequent step of biotechnological development could lead towards controlled transient changes of physiological parameters. Whereas the majority of the scientific community has chosen the specific growth rate (µ) as target control parameter, we have invested extensive work in the control of the specific substrate uptake rate (qs). Hereby, the qs control renders physiology accessible, substrate availability being upstream of physiological variables example µ. We want to test the hypothesis that dynamic process control as qs profiles in terms of ramps and oscillations constitute tools for efficient tweaking of physiology. By alternating the substrate availability in the reactor the physiologic state of E.coli shall be modulated between high metabolic load and recreational phases during induction. Focusing on product physiology interrelations, modeling and investigation of scale up effects is explicitly not in scope of our investigation. Hereby, we want to address specific questions as the impact frequency and amplitude for qs oscillation of on physiology as well slope and orientation of qs ramps. The amplitude of oscillation is of great interest can physiological limits be temporarily exceeded by granting periods of recovery? Whereas a high frequency of oscillation of the specific substrate uptake rate could be limited by technical constraints (example sampling capacities, error of measurement) a too long duration could fail to have any impact besides acetate formation.

Patent Acknowledgement Form - New Version Effective Nov. 1, 2011
As a result of a recent Supreme Court decision, Stanford vs. Roche, the University has amended the University Patent Acknowledgement Form (UPAY 585). As you are aware, this form is signed by all University employees and other personnel who use University research facilities or University gift, grant, or contact research funds. Effective Tuesday, November 1, 2011, departments should use the updated form for newly-hired employees, appointees and visitors.
The updated form clarifies that the intent of the Patent Acknowledgement Form is still to assign to the University the rights to patents and inventions that are made using University resources or facilities. Please note that the University Patent Policy is not changing nor is the scope of inventions that are assignable to the University.
The Patent Acknowledgement will be updated in two steps over the next several months:
- Beginning November 1, 2011, all newly-hired employees, appointees and visitors will sign the updated 2011 Patent Acknowledge Form. The form can be found here: Oath & Patent Acknowledgment (PDF), or on the Forms Page of the Payroll Portal.
- Beginning November 28, 2011, all academic appointees, staff and visitors hired prior to November 1, 2011, were asked to sign a 2011 Amendment to the Patent Acknowledgement or Patent Agreement. An outside vendor, working with UCOP, developed the process for employees to sign the form electronically. The project was completed early in 2012. It is now possible to search a database to determine if individuals have signed the amendment. The web site is hosted by At Your Service Online (AYSO) and is called Patent Amendment Signature Data.

Thistle Diary - More comment from Westminster: Closures, cuts and the view from abroad
I STRONGLY sympathise with Gordon Copp, a visiting researcher at the
Institute of Freshwater Ecology, formerly known as the Freshwater Biological
Association. Copp has written to the Prime Minister, asking her to look
at the impending extinction of the IFE's River Laboratory in East Stoke,
Wareham, Dorset. The laboratory faces closure as a result of the amalgamation
of the Natural Environment Research Council's staff at the IFE and the Institute
of Terrestrial Ecology.
Copp, who has worked in several countries, points out that the River
Laboratory is internationally renowned, and that it is unique in Britain
in that it possesses a fluvarium (or 'in-ground' aquarium), which has the
River Frome flowing through it. The loss of the laboratory, he says, 'would
not only reduce the IFE's ability to attract research contracts, but would
cripple Britain's ability to respond to current and future problems associated
with river ecology and nature conservation'. He adds that, at a time when
Thatcher seems to be increasingly sensitive to environmental concerns, 'the
closure of the laboratory would send out confusing signals to international
scientists and foreign officials, who look to Britain for scientific leadership
and inspiration in areas of fundamental and applied science, nature conservancy
and resource development'.
I find it embarrassing when guest researchers are dismayed by the way
in which Britain treats its distinguished laboratories. What must scientists
working in other countries think?
* * *
ON 20 May, New Scientist carried a powerful news item about the threat
to the National Fruit Variety Collection at Brogdale Experimental Station
in Kent. On 30 May, Jack Straw, Labour's spokesman on education and science,
wrote a powerful article in The Times, pleading for Brogdale. Alas, on 21
June, when I tackled John MacGregor, the minister for agriculture, on the
subject during a Commons debate, he did not respond. I am told by botanists
that the Brogdale issue appals them. What about a rethink?
* * *
NORMAN Godman, the Labour MP for Greenock, comes from Hull, and is responsible
for fishery matters for the Opposition. It is appropriate, therefore, that
he should have asked the Prime Minister about research being undertaken
by the Nature Conservancy Council into the identification of the most important
feeding and gathering grounds for seabirds in Britain.
Margaret Thatcher reminded him that, in 1979, the NCC commenced the
seabirds at sea project. This was a research programme to study the distribution
of seabird populations most at risk from pollution, particularly oil spill
in the North Sea. The work was jointly funded by the oil and gas industry,
the NCC and government departments.
A report on these studies was published a couple of years ago. A further
phase of the project is now in progress, extending the survey to waters
north and west of Scotland. Environment ministers expect to receive a preliminary
report on the most important areas for seabirds later this year. A final
phase, due to start in 1990, will complete the geographic coverage by surveying
the English Channel and the southwest approaches.
The reason MPs think that this work is important at present is that
much tighter control is required of planning permissions for coastal sites,
and the draining of wetlands. Without solid information, it is hard to convince
lay people of the need for tight controls. I hope that Kenneth Carlisle,
the influential government whip, who has close connections with the Royal
Society for the Protection of Birds, and other similarly minded MPs, can
convince ministers of the importance of this study.
* * *
NICHOLAS Winterton, the engaging and outspoken Conservative MP for Macclesfield,
has been asking ministers about research into eye conditions, particularly
those affecting the retina, which are the source of so much misery.
Robert Jackson, junior minister at the Department of Education and Science,
told him that, last year, the Medical Research Council spent Pounds sterling
134 000 on research 'relevant to retinal conditions'. Currently, work is
concentrating on retinitis pigmentosa and the genetic basis of such diseases.
At the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh, researchers are studying the
DNA sequence markers in single gene disorders, and mapping the cross-linked
retinitis pigmentosa gene with a view to developing clinically useful probes.
As the Western General is one of the hospitals to which hundreds of
my constituents go each year, I know how good the hospital is. We just hope
that demand under reorganisation will not put too great a strain on sought-after
hospitals at the frontiers of knowledge, to the inevitable detriment of
research work carried out at such places.
* * *
IN BRITAIN, the edible dormouse (Glis glis) may be confined to the better
heeled parts of the country (Thistle Diary, 10 June), but in France, it
seems, they are less selective. A correspondent from Lille tells me that
there is a large population of the creatures around a nearby prison, which
feed on fruit, bread and other titbits thrown out of cell windows by the
inmates. The prisoners entertain themselves by lowering 'home-made' traps
out of the windows and catching the creatures. They are apparently very
difficult to train as pets.

Whilst we in Australia wait with bated breath for the 2018 Leaf to be released in Australia – Nissan Japan are forging ahead with their EV plans by revealing a second generation Nissan Leaf NISMO race car (with more than double the maximum power and torque output of its predecessor) in Tokyo last week.
Specifications for the Leaf NISMO include all-wheel-drive, with two electric motors at opposite ends of the chassis that produce 240 kilowatts combined (120 kW each) and 640 Nm of instant torque to the wheels.
(Thereby more than doubling the maximum power and the torque output of the previous Leaf NISMO RC, introduced in 2011!). Drivetrain technology sourced from the 2018 production Nissan Leaf include the high-capacity lithium-ion battery and inverters.
It also features a multitude of lightweight components and a full carbon-fibre racing monocoque structure, resulting in a overall weight of 1,220 kg. With a zero to 100km/h time of just 3.4 seconds, it is 50% quicker than the previous NISMO leaf.
The car, developed by Nissan's racing arm NISMO, were due to debt at the annual NISMO Festival at Fuji International Speedway, appearing alongside Nissan's new Formula E electric race car.
In total, Nissan plans to manufacture six of the vehicles to display at Formula E events and major shows around the world to build the excitement around the Nissan formula E racing team in particular, and Formula E in general.
Formula E by the way is an all-electric race car series that began in 2014. Run on street racing circuits, it is now about to start its fifth season.
The first race this season will be on December 15thin Ad Diriyah (Saudi Arabia) followed by another 12 rounds, running in a series of venues around the world. (Including Rome, Paris, Berlin, Monaco, Mexico City and Hong Kong).
The series finishes in New York on July 14th, 2019. This Formula E season also introduces the 'Generation 2' cars that can complete a full race without the car changes of the Gen1 vehicles.
With 250kW of power, the new generation cars can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 2.8-seconds and reach a top speed of 280km/h – which should result in a very spectacular series.
Between the Leaf Nismo and the Formula E race calendar alongside it – 2019 should make for an exciting year for the evolution of motorsport!

Your obligations
Our policies
The City of Sydney promotes the benefits of owning dogs, cats and pocket pets, and we aim to ensure that pets and people live together harmoniously.
Our companion animals policy balances the rights of animals and their owners with the needs of the wider community and environment, and encourages responsible animal ownership.
We aim to educate non-pet owners and children about animal behaviour and safety around other people's pets. And we are committed to providing off-leash exercise areas for dogs and their owners, while also ensuring non-pet owners have access to parks and gardens.
The City enforces the NSW Government's laws relating to pet ownership, which are outlined in the Companion Animals Act 1998. Under the act, cats and dogs must be microchipped and registered so they can always be returned home if hurt, lost or stolen.
This law is designed to reduce the number of animals put down in NSW, and to encourage people to take responsibility for their pets.
The Companion Animals Act 1998 also sets out an owner's responsibility for controlling their pet in the local neighbourhood and public places. For example, dogs must be controlled on a leash when in public (except in designated off-leash areas) and wear an identification disc with their name and contact number of their owner on their collar.
Surrendering a pet
If you are no longer able to care for your pet please contact the RSPCA, the Cat Protection Society or the Animal Welfare League or your local animal shelter for advice.
We do not accept surrendered animals. It is illegal to dump or abandon your animal and animal cruelty charges apply.
Owners can be fined if they fail to comply with the laws.
Under the law councils also have the power to impound a cat or dog that attacks a person or another animal. The act also includes very specific rules for owners of restricted breeds and dogs that are declared dangerous.

One of the brands I was most excited to check out while at The Makeup Show Orlando recently was Serenity + Scott Beauty (www.serenityscottbeauty.com). It's a brand that I had heard a lot about online but had never seen in person. The first product that caught my eye and interest was their cream eyeliner in Oyster.
According to their website their cream eyeliner is an
Extremely longwearing gel liner provides color-true, intense pigment.
I fell in love with the unique color of Oyster (I don't own any cream eyeliners that are this color and only one pencil liner that comes close).
The formula feels extremely creamy and is weightless on the skin. It is easy to blend when first applied so it can actually be used as a cream eyeshadow in addition to being an eyeliner. It takes about a minute to set but once it sets it doesn't budge. I was able to get 9 hours of wear without any fading…I'm sure I could have gone longer with it still looking great. Their cream eyeliners retail for $18 for 0.10 oz of product and comes in 6 colors.
Ingredients: Isododecane, Polyethylene, Cyclopentasiloxane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Phenyl Trimethicone, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Lecithin, Barium Sulfate, Propylene Carbonate, Phenoxyethanol. May Contain (+/-): Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77288), Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289).
I hope to get a chance to test and review other products from their line but if Oyster cream eyeliner is an indicator this brand is definitely one that should be on your radar if they aren't already!

Fast Fridays – September 2015Monday, October 12th, 2015
The weather was not very cooperative for a car show last Friday, but that didn't stop some of Kansas City's coolest rides from showing up. We arrived in the pouring rain with a brand new and a pre-owned vehicle as usual. The new 2015 Mercedes-AMG C63S burbled into the parking lot and immediately stole the show.
Despite the worsening rain, people wandered outside to see the latest creation from the engineers in Affalterbach. Onlookers admired the Designo Cardinal Red metallic paint finish and gawked over the large turbochargers sitting right on top of the engine. This gorgeous C63S is one of three we currently have in stock.
Our pre-owned vehicle department was represented by the incredibly rare 2003 Audi RS6, a recent trade-in. The "C5" generation Audi RS6 was only made and sold in the United States for one year, with only 1,200 examples putting rubber down on our shores. Like the C63S, the RS6 is also equipped with a twin turbo V8 engine and an incredible amount of horsepower. Both vehicles are still available for sale, so here is your opportunity to own a show car!
Fast Fridays wraps up for the year next month, so we plan to go out with a bang! Expect to see some epic cars from Aristocrat Motors at the Fast Fridays finale in October.
Aristocrat Motors – Custom Wine BottlesMonday, October 12th, 2015
Recent customers will know that we have a little tradition when taking delivery of your new vehicle. After all of the features of your new vehicle have been explained, you'll receive a final thank-you from your sales manager, complete with a complimentary bottle of wine.
A gift for choosing to become part of the Aristocrat Motors family, we present each new car owner with a bottle that is laser engraved with a logo matching your vehicle of purchase. The bottle is a work of art like the car, so it can be used as a decoration as well.
We'd like to thank each one of our customers for being a part of the Aristocrat Motors family and look forward to future visits.
Lunch Options at Aristocrat MotorsMonday, October 12th, 2015
Our new customer lounge has been open for a few months now, and it just keeps getting better. Introducing our new lunch service! If you are having your vehicle serviced during lunch hours, we will gladly take your order and get you lunch! You get to enjoy our comfortable waiting area with WiFi, TV, and fish and now food! Our blogger went out to lunch with no complaints and tested a couple items from the Panera menu to give you some recommendations.
First of all, we'd like to say that you can't go wrong with the classic grilled cheese. It's like biting into your childhood, except much less painful than that sounds. For an adult-ish version, you can't go wrong with the Roasted Turkey, Apple, and Cheddar sandwich. If you really want to make our drivers tense, order a soup.
In the mood for something filling? Pasta is the way to go! The Pesto Sacchettini combines six cheeses on shell pasta with a zesty sprinkling of spices. If a filling dish isn't quite your thing, feel free to order a salad. Panera's Thai Chicken Salad and BBQ Chicken Salad both come highly recommended.

Is there anything more beautiful than luxury? Maybe a fluffy newborn kitten or a all expenses paid trip to Cabo. Last month, Aristocrat Motors was host to an event like no other. Beautiful cars and women as far as the eye could see were in attendance for the annual Women & Shoes fashion show fundraiser. Some of Kansas City's most influential and successful women were in attendance.
Shoes from high-end brands such as Prada, Jimmy Choo, and Christian Louboutin were modeled for a crowd of over 300. At the end of the runway, the all-new Mercedes-AMG GTS sat in all its glory. Models were dropped off in the latest luxury sedans from Jaguar, Maybach, and Maserati. While a brand-new Range Rover shuttled in VIP clients.
We are very proud to announce our very own Emily Petermann was a finalist in the Judges Choice shoe competition. Emily is one of the service advisors here at Aristocrat Motors. Toward the end of the fashion show, DJ Ashton Martin spun some remixes while the ladies strutted down the runway. We are proud to be a host of such a great event in the Kansas City area and wish each and every one of these fabulous women the best of success.

The 'Wimbledon Effect' – A Great Opportunity To Put Cash Into Your Pocket
If you are lucky enough to live or own property within the reaches of Wimbledon, or SW19, then grab your chance of making some extra cash now. Many local residents have seen a great opportunity to earn some extra income with short-let rentals. They are cashing in by renting out their homes or extra rooms to fans, players and relatives.
Since the banks are not paying many dividends for deposit accounts right now, people are looking for other opportunities to make money. Joanna Doniger of Tennis London says: "The chance to make a substantial amount from a short let is encouraging more people to rent out their homes to players and fans. No one's getting any income from deposit accounts so they are looking for other ways to make money." Tennis London is responsible for arranging short-let stays during the tournament within the region.
Joanna Doniger said there is big money in home rentals within the London SW19 area. Situated ideally close to the tennis tournament, the area offers great opportunities for the quick-minded. Prices for weekly rents can range from around £1,200 for a two-bedroom flat in Southfields to £2,500 for a two-bedroom flat in Wimbledon village, or £5,000 for a larger property overlooking the grounds.
Renting out your home, or portions of it to a hungry crowd of event goers isn't a new probability for residents of Edinburgh. The famous Scottish festival, which attracts over three million visitors each year, has long been used by locals to earn some extra income with short letting.
Short letting is certainly a talking point for Londoners for the London Olympics and Paralympics in 2012. Experts caution landlords to consider their costs since agencies demand hefty commissions of between 15-25 percent. Added registration fees, contract fees, inventory fees, etc can quickly turn a seemingly great deal sour for home owners. Another fact to consider is the cost of utilities (less telephone costs) which are usually included in short let contracts.

After obtaining my masters degree Business Economics (MSc) at Erasmus University Rotterdam in 1988, I have gained expertise in treasury, banking, finance and project management. In 1998 I started my own financial consultancy company: Hecht Consult.
Since 2005 my major activity is to train participants who work for Banks and (Corporate) Treasury Departments. I know from practical experience that finance is not rocket science and you do not need to be a mathematical wizard to understand finance.
My training method targets to strip complex financial topics to the basic structure. The basic structure will support participants to understand and use finance in their future work practice. I have trained hundreds of participants, and many have different backgrounds and finance experience - for example: chartered accountants, controllers, journalists, consultants, IT professionals, and University graduates.

Barack Obama's racist spiritual mentor, father figure and pastor of 20 years, Reverend "G-D" Jeremiah Wright, returned home to the pulpit at Trinity UCC on Sunday and lashed out at the media.
Jeremiah Wright continued to blast members of the media for exposing his hate-filled anti-AmeriKKKan rants.
Breaking News reported:
For the first time since his retirement last spring, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. returned to the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ this morning with two goals: glorifying God and vilifying the media.
In honor of Trinity's 47th anniversary, Wright preached Sunday worship services in place of Rev. Otis Moss III, who was attending his father's farewell from the pulpit of Olivet Institutional Baptist Church in Cleveland.

Citing the revelation to Mary by the angel Gabriel that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God, Wright said Mary's disbelief was similar to the doubts some faithful shared about the future of Trinity after Wright's retirement and the possibility of a black man being elected president.
"Our legitimate questions tend to be asked from the vantage point of limited horizons," said Wright during the 7:30 a.m. service. "Mary had a limited horizon. She couldn't see how it was possible."
TRENDING: RUMORS SWIRLING: President Trump's Recent Actions Indicate Something HUGE Is About to Drop
"In almost every instance where I have encountered this phenomenon, what I have discovered is that the limited horizons are caused by the tendency to look for a person to provide you with answers for your legitimate questions," Wright continued. "I really should say our legitimate questions, not your legitimate questions, because God knows I've got some questions myself."
Wright, Trinity's former pastor, gained prominence when President-elect Barack Obama in his memoirs cited the pastor's inspirational sermons.
Advertisement - story continues below
Wright said no amount of media coverage could dampen Trinity spirit.
"Jesus said upon this rock I will build–listen to the promise–my church," he said. "And the gates of Hell–listen to the promise–the gates of Hell–neither ABC nor CNN–the gates of Hell–neither Hannity nor O'Reilly–the gates of Hell–neither Time, Time magazine, Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Tribune … the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Nothing will be impossible with God."
At the 11 a.m. service, Wright belittled "baby milk believers," who, he said, suffer a delusion that politics don't belong in the pulpit. He pointed out that "Luke the evangelist, not Wright the radical" lambasted the oppressive policies of the Roman government in the Gospel story that recounts Jesus' life.
UPDATE: Wright also confessed that Obama is "still my child."

Four jobs, that is. I have come to this profound conclusion as my crazy-crisis continues… Starting with the OU is great fun, finishing up other things – well, not so much. I hadn't anticipated quite such an unholy collision of deadlines as I'm staggering through at the moment, but it will pass. It always does.
And there are good things in the studio.
This bit of sampling is now scaled up and on the Delta. My weave students are brilliant. I have mad ideas for things to weave on the Megado. I have deep thoughts about weaving design and process, which, fortunately, I am too exhausted to share with you.
The theme here is ribbons: looping, dancing ribbons.
Update: Apologies to those who have tried valiantly to comment but have been turned away by the overzealous spam police! There were a bunch of updates last night and now things are not working as they should… Isn't that always the way? I have now switched off the extra anti-spam thing, while I try and work out what is broken….

Facilitating experiences such as this are just part of the IMBA mandate. Photo courtesy IMBA
It's an interesting time in the world of mountain bike trail advocacy. Aside from the usual struggles to open and maintain access for traditional fat tire riders, and the job of recognizing Model Trails, new issues and bike types such as e-bikes and fatbikes have raised their own set of questions. In search of some answers, Mtbr sat down for an extended chat with Mark Eller, communications director of the International Mountain Bicycling Association. Here is the edited transcript of that wide-ranging conversation, which took place during the recently completed IMBA World Summit in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It's a long but important read.
Mtbr: Let's start with an easy question. For the uninitiated what is the IMBA World Summit all about?
Mark Eller: It's something we do every other year. The main goal is just to get the tribe together, share info, ride bikes, drink beer. Each year we've kept raising the bar and turned it into a polished thing that we are pretty proud of. This time we had about 400 paid delegates, plus another 100 people between staff and media and so on. The main goal is information sharing. We've realized over years that there is huge value in getting mountain bikers together to talk about how they build trails, how they care for trails, how they foster relationships with land managers, and so on. Comparing notes is a really valuable exercise. People tend to fall into patterns in their home area, so it's enlightening to see how other people do things.
Mtbr: So what's a good example of that enlightenment?
Mark Eller: Well, a lot of people will say, our soil is different or what we do in our area is unique. But then when you compare notes you often see that it's not so unique. There are lots of places out there that have similar things going on. It can be really reassuring to find out that there are some common ways to build trails and tackle trail building issues.
Mtbr: Let's address some of those issues. Where does IMBA stand regarding e-bikes on trails?
Mark Eller: Yeah, e-bikes is at the top of a short list. We have defined mountain biking as a purely human powered experience. But honestly we think it may be a tempest in tea pot for North American riding right now. However, it's definitely a big issue in Europe right now. What we see there is that the Germans stand alone, saying they have solved this through engineering and have embraced pedal assist technology as a game changer. But the rest of Europe resides more of where we are at, saying if it has a motor than it is not a mountain bike. Our stance is that mountain biking is a purely human powered endeavor.
Fatbikes — and where they can and cannot be used – is another hot button topic within the halls of IMBA's Boulder, Colorado, world headquarters.
Mtbr: How about fatbikes? That's been another big topic of conversation lately.
Mark Eller: We see policy as a big issue there. In certain places snowmobiles have a longstanding well defined relationship with land managers to the point where there are a lot of trails signed snowmobile only, nobody else. That's become a bone of contention. For example, in Yellowstone National Park you will get ticketed for riding a fatbike, where you can take a snowmobile up the trail. Our main recommendation is that purpose built trail for fatbiking is where it's at. If you have snow on the ground to justify that level of effort, it's pretty cool. It's similar to flow trail design, high banks are fun, gentle grades work best, keeping trail grades not overly steep.
Mtbr: What else is at the top of that short list?
Mark Eller: Another discussion is the question of whether IMBA has gone away from advocacy in favor of building trails and promoting model trails, and doing less advocacy work then we've long been associated with in the past. I would put out there that that's not the case. In terms of presence in Washington, D.C., and political savvy, and the ability to influence wilderness proposals, we are stronger than ever. The key for any non profit to succeed is to stick to the mission. Our mission is to build, create and enhance great mountain biking experiences. You can't do that if you are always in a defensive posture. If your idea of advocacy is always putting out fires and pleading for access, then you are always in a defensive posture. By expanding into things like trail building and the instructor certification program, we're doing advocacy on a more pro-active level. If there is a local group succeeding in building trails and getting people on rides, they are succeeding in advocacy. But if the group is just having battles with land managers and other trail users, then you are probably failing to some degree.

Some business thinkers/writers are not so well-known. George Whalin perhaps….however, he is well-known for the above quote.
George Whalin wrote in 2009: Retail Superstars – Inside the Best 25 Independent Stores in America. It would be interesting to revisit these stores and see where they are now….what impact the internet has had and how they have adapted.
For any business/organization being the best should always be a major goal….though for many….average often seems to be good enough.
