The CFPB has implemented significant changes under Regulation C and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act ("HMDA"). These changes impact the types of transactions and the types of institutions subject to Regulation C and HMDA. In addition, the reporting and disclosure requirements have been modified, along with revisions to the data that must be collected. These changes require that entities subject to Regulation C and HMDA carefully review and understand these changes in order to ensure that their reporting is compliant. This webinar will walk through the primary changes imposed by the final rule. It will also assist companies subject to Regulation C and HMDA understand the new requirements to help ensure compliant reporting.AGENDAIntroduction
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.

Frag, Patton, and Recon Update!
We've been so busy lately, I wanted to post updates frequently on how everyone is doing!
I have Frag back for the month, until my ex finds a house to buy in Kansas for Frag and his wife. Sadly, he came back to me with severe allergic reactions to friskies cat food that he was sneaking into while with my ex. No hair on the tips of his ears and some of his muzzle, ear infection, miserable skin and itchy as heck. We're working on fixing that, now! Frag's been coming to work with me and hanging out and doing a little Rally prep. First video is him reuniting with his dad, my ex boyfriend, after his deployment. Went on for 15 minutes. :rolleyes: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7417/1...fd84f6c27b.jpg Untitled by DJetzel, on Flickr http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3706/1...48916a5333.jpg Untitled by DJetzel, on Flickr Patton is being a typical puppy- growing too fast, learning a ton! We've gotten into crate games this week which are a godsend, let me tell ya! He's such a character. I'm trying to get lots of videos and pictures. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3693/1...bb874816d0.jpg Untitled by DJetzel, on Flickr http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3832/1...d2ca8d506f.jpg Untitled by DJetzel, on Flickr And Recon has been his old self learning tricks, chasing squirrels and trialing in Agility! We had a trial last weekend with two pretty decent runs, almost to our first title! (thought we had it, but found out the next day we're missing 1 Q) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7360/1...e077fbfef2.jpg Untitled by DJetzel, on Flickr http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2864/1...ed090fe854.jpg Untitled by DJetzel, on Flickr http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5513/1...2476b0cbfe.jpg DSC_0499 by DJetzel, on Flickr http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2850/1...8fb5927dff.jpg DSC_0486 by DJetzel, on Flickr |
I love these guys! :wub:
Poor Frag, I hope he has a speedy recovery! |
I can always count on you to appreciate them! XD
He's already doing so much better, but thank you! :) |
Love them!!!!! So happy to see Frag updates!
LOL the video with Frag and Jon...GSD boys can be so vocal and dramatic! That is how Nikon sounds if I leave him for one night!
I need to see Patton again, I miss him! Not in a I-want-him-back kind of way but he just looks so good and happy! |
They really are drama queens!
You need to see him again soon! I don't know when I'll have him up there next, but maybe soon for flyball! ;) |
Who named the dogs anyway? So militant sounding lol
I have a thing for military guys, I guess? |
How are they TOGETHER?
Fantastic dogs!!!! How do they interact together?
Off the chart doggy IQs for these 3. |
You are doing such a great job with all of them. Is Frag going to be leaving you?

Building is easier than writing
Charms are built from layers. Layers let you build on the work of other charmers, whether that work is in the form of other charms that you can extend and modify or interfaces that are already built for you and know how to communicate with a remote service and let you know when that service is ready and what it provides for you. There are also partial base layers that make managing dependencies much easier. And it does this in a consistent, repeatable, and auditable way.
So for example, if the software you want to charm needs a Java runtime, you can reuse a layer that provides that. In the future when that layer is updated and improved, every single charm that uses that layer can take advantage of those improvements.
For this example, we will create a charm for the same Vanilla forum software as before, but using layers.
First off, building charms requires Charm Tools, as well as a local charm repository in which to work. So, if you haven't set those up yet, use the previous links to do so. For example:
sudo apt-get install charm-tools
export JUJU_REPOSITORY=$HOME/charms
mkdir -p $JUJU_REPOSITORY/{layers,trusty}
cd $JUJU_REPOSITORY/layers
Note: Exporting the environment variable in this way only sets the variable for the current terminal. If you wish to make these changes persist, add the same export statement to a resource file that are evaluated when you create a new console such as ~/.bashrc depending on your environment.
Then create a directory for your layer:
mkdir vanilla
cd vanilla
Determine a base layer and additional relations
To best leverage existing work, it is important to choose the right base layer for your charm. The available layers and interfaces can be found at interfaces.juju.solutions.
In our case, Vanilla is a PHP5 application, so the layer we will use is the apache-php5 layer. This is a "runtime" layer that provides a common basis for specific applications to built on top of. Out of the box, this will give us Apache2 running on a configurable port, mod-php5, and support for the http interface for running behind a proxy for high availability and scaling.
On top of that, we'll want to use the mysql interface.
We will put these in a layer.yaml
file, which tells the builder what layers
and interfaces to combine with yours to create the finished charm:
includes: ['layer:apache-php', 'interface:mysql']
Fill in your charm layer
With that decided, we're ready to start creating our charm layer. The README,
icon, and copyright file will be the same. The metadata.yaml
will be the
same except that the website
relation will be managed for us, so we can
leave out the provides
name: vanilla
summary: Vanilla is an open-source, pluggable, themeable, multi-lingual forum.
maintainer: Your Name <firstname.lastname@example.com>
description: |
Vanilla is designed to deploy and grow small communities to scale.
This charm deploys Vanilla Forums as outlined by the Vanilla Forums installation guide.
- social
interface: mysql
The apache-php
layer requires some additional configuration to tell it how
to install and configure your application. This goes in an apache.yaml
- 'php5-mysql'
- 'php5-gd'
options: 'Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews'
source: https://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/archive/Vanilla_18.104.22.168.tar.gz#sha256=acf61a7ffca9359c1e1d721777182e51637be59744925935291801ccc8e8fd55
This tells the apache-php
layer to install some additional packages for PHP,
where to fetch your application from (as well as its cryptographic hash to
verify the payload), and a few options for the vhost entry. The application
will be installed under /var/www/{site_name}
where {site_name}
is the name
of the block under sites
(in this case vanilla
Finally, we're ready to work on the charm implementation.
Implementing your layer
The apache-php
layer and mysql
interface use charms.reactive to
coordinate with your layer. This makes it easy to coordinate the state
of multiple layers, relations, configuration options, etc. Code for
reactive handlers should live under a reactive/
folder in your charm layer.
In our case, we'll use reactive/vanilla.py
. (We're using Python in this
example, but a Bash version would look substantially similar).
The apache-php
layer sets an apache.available
state when your application
is done being installed, and the mysql
interface sets a similar
state (where {relation_name}
depends on what you
called the relation in your metadata.yaml
) to indicate that MySQL has
provided you with a complete set of database credentials.
Thus, by watching for both of those states, you can easily tell when the right time to set up your application is:
@when('apache.available', 'database.available')
def setup_vanilla(mysql):
You'll notice that the MySQL relation is passed in so that you can easily access the database connection information.
Since the Apache installation and MySQL relation negotiation are all handled for
us, the only thing left to do is create the conf/config.php
file for Vanilla.
To make things easy, we will render a template to populate the values. We'll
also handle a few more state changes to provide better status reporting and
react to our database going away in an intelligent manner:
import pwd
import os
from subprocess import call
from charmhelpers.core.hookenv import status_set
from charmhelpers.core.templating import render
from charms.reactive import when, when_not
from charms.reactive import set_state, remove_state
@when('apache.available', 'database.available')
def setup_vanilla(mysql):
'db': mysql,
uid = pwd.getpwnam('www-data').pw_uid
os.chown('/var/www/vanilla/cache', uid, -1)
os.chown('/var/www/vanilla/uploads', uid, -1)
call('chmod -R 777 /var/www/vanilla/conf'.split(), shell=False)
status_set('maintenance', 'Starting Apache')
def missing_mysql():
status_set('blocked', 'Please add relation to MySQL')
def waiting_mysql(mysql):
status_set('waiting', 'Waiting for MySQL')
def started():
status_set('active', 'Ready')
By setting the apache.start
state, we are letting the apache-php
layer know
that we have finished configuring the application and it is ready to start.
The templates/vanilla_config.php
file is straightforward:
<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
$Configuration['Database']['Host'] = '{{ db.host() }}';
$Configuration['Database']['Name'] = '{{ db.database() }}';
$Configuration['Database']['User'] = '{{ db.user() }}';
$Configuration['Database']['Password'] = '{{ db.password() }}';
And that's all you need to get Vanilla up and running using layers! The final directory structure looks like this:
Check out the repo for the complete charm layer.
It is important to note that we didn't have to create any hooks. Those were all handled by the other layers and interfaces. This is common when using layers.
It's also worth noting that there is a file for each layer in the reactive
directory. This allows the handlers for each layer to remain separate and
not conflict. All handlers from each of those files will be discovered and
dispatched according to the discovery and dispatch rules.
Building your charm
Now that the layer is done, let's build it together and deploy the final charm. From within the layer directory, this is as simple as:
charm build
Build will take all of the layers, looking first in your local LAYER_PATH and
then querying interfaces.juju.solutions, and
create a new charm into $JUJU_REPOSITORY/trusty/vanilla
build: Composing into /home/user/charms
build: Processing layer: layer:basic
build: Processing layer: layer:apache-php
build: Processing layer: .
Then we can deploy mysql and our new charm as usual:
juju deploy mysql
juju deploy local:trusty/vanilla
juju add-relation mysql vanilla
juju expose vanilla

The Florida Greek Standards Accreditation Program (FGS) is a set of guidelines and achievements that establishes minimum operating standards for social sororities and fraternities at the University of Florida, as well as opportunities for demonstrating success above and beyond the minimum expectations.
Based on the community's tenets of scholarship, leadership, service and community, this program is designed to identify and encourage high ideals, principles, and standards critical to the success of each organization and its members.
The Florida Greek Standards Accreditation Program (FGS) assessment is based upon the chapter's completion of the minimum requirements and additional opportunities for excellence as outlined in our policy. Each chapter will receive an official designation in one of the four chapter categories, directly reflecting that particular chapter's achievement for the previous academic year: Chapter of Excellence, Noteworthy Chapter, Accredited Chapter, and Provisional Chapter.
Chapters scoring at the provisional level will meet with the FGS Review Committee to create an action plan for the upcoming 2016-2017 year. Being a provisional chapter does not restrict the amount of service, philanthropy, or social events the organization can host throughout the year.

The Bureau of Riccius-Winter Architects has been established in 1994, and during the last years it has managed various projects of all planning and construction phases in Berlin and its environs as well as abroad. Tanja Riccius and Carsten Winter do not strictly advocate an architectural style. The context of urban development and the emotional contemplation of the location are vitally significant to them. Proportions, materials and the character of the architecture are carefully examined with the aid of many models in order to create open structures for each locale that promote an elevated quality of life for external as well as for internal spaces.
Their designs are mostly based on contemplations about the landscape and scenery: structures and materials emerge fittingly from the local surroundings û the natural and the new are supposed to become one and age with dignity. Time and again, the Bureau tries out new faþade materials, the application of which being filled with tension.
The collaboration with project developers over many years has endowed the Bureau of Riccius-Winter Architects with much experience in the area of project development, citizen relationships and collaboration with future dwellers and occupants.

FAQs A-Fib Treatments: Medicines and Drug Therapies
Atrial Fibrillation patients often search for unbiased information and guidance about medicines and drug therapy treatments. These are answers to the most frequently asked questions by patients and their families. (Click on the question to jump to the answer.)
1. " I have a heart condition. Which medications are best to control my Atrial Fibrillation?" What medications work best for me?"
2. HRT: "Do you have information about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and if it might help or hinder my atrial fibrillation?"
3. Rate Control Drug: "I take atenolol, a beta-blocker. Will it stop my A-Fib."
Antiarrhythmic Drugs
1. "Is the "Pill-In-The-Pocket" treatment a cure for A-Fib? When should it be used?" ("Pill-In-The-Pocket" makes use of an antiarrhythmic drug such as flecainide)
2. "I've been on amiodarone for over a year. It works for me and keeps me out of A-Fib. But I'm worried about the toxic side effects. What should I do?"
3. "Is the antiarrhythmic drug Multaq [dronedarone] safer than taking amiodarone? How does it compare to other antiarrhythmic drugs?"
4. "My doctor told me about the Tikosyn drug option that I want to consider in getting rid of my 5-month-old persistent A-Fib. That seems like something that should be discussed on your web site."
Blood Thinners/Anticoagulants
Note: August 2015 Update: Aspirin is no longer recommended as first-line therapy to prevent A-Fib stroke.
1. "Are anticoagulants and blood thinners the same thing? How do they thin the blood?
2. "Should everyone who has A-Fib be on a blood thinner like warfarin (brand name: Coumadin)?"
3. "Which is the better to prevent stroke—warfarin (Coumadin), an NOAC or aspirin?
4. "I am on Coumadin (warfarin). Do I now need to avoid foods with Vitamin K which would interfere with its blood thinning effects?"
5. "Are natural blood thinners for blood clot treatment as good as prescription blood thinners like warfarin?"
6. "I'm worried about having to take the blood thinner warfarin. If I cut myself, do I risk bleeding to death?"
Related question: "My new cardiologist wants me to switch from Pradaxa to Eliquis. if bleeding occurs, is Eliquis easier to deal with?"
Related question: "My heart doctor wants me to take Xarelto. I am concerned about the side effects which can involve death. What else can I do?"
7. "I"ve read about a new anticoagulant, edoxaban (brand names: Lixiana, Savaysa) as an alternative to warfarin (Coumadin). For A-Fib patients, how does it compare to warfarin? Should I consider edoxaban instead of the other NOACs?"
1. "I've had a successful catheter ablation and am no longer in A-Fib. But my doctor says I need to be on a blood thinner. I've been told that, even after a successful catheter ablation, I could still have "silent" A-Fib—A-Fib episodes that I'm not aware of. Is there anything I can do to get off of blood thinners?"
2. "I just had an Electrical Cardioversion. My doctor wants me to stay on Coumadin for at least one month. Why is that required? They mentioned something about a "stunned atrium." What is that?"
A-Fib Stroke Risk
1. "What are my chances of getting an A-Fib stroke?"
2. "The A-Fib.com web site claims that an A-Fib stroke is often worse than other causes of stroke. Why is that? If a clot causes a stroke, what difference does it make if it comes from A-Fib or other causes? Isn't the damage the same?"
3. "How long do I have to be in A-Fib before I develop a clot and have a stroke?"
4. "Is there a way to get off blood thinners all together? I hate taking Coumadin. I know I'm at risk of an A-Fib stroke."

Return to Frequently Asked Questions
My Top 5 Articles About Warfarin Therapy, Associated Risks and Alternatives
Any treatment plan for Atrial Fibrillation must address the increased risk of clots and stroke. By far the most commonly used medicine for stroke prevention is the anticoagulant warfarin (brand name Coumadin).
But warfarin is a tough drug to take long term with monthly blood tests and possible side effects. These are my top 5 articles to help you understand warfarin therapy, the associated risks and some of the alternatives.

An Alternative to Blood Thinners
Do you hate having to take Coumadin? Hate the monthly testing? Bothered by side effects? An alternative to taking blood thinners is closing off your Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) with the Watchman, an occlusion device. Learn more: The Watchman™ Device: The Alternative to Blood Thinners.
Taking Warfarin? The Myth about Foods with Vitamin K
Are you taking the blood thinner warfarin to manage your risk of clots and A-Fib stroke? Have you been told to avoid foods with vitamin K to prevent excess clotting? Want to know the facts about warfarin and vitamin K? Take our 5 question quiz to separate the facts from the myths.
A 5 Question Quiz about Warfarin and Vitamin K
1. True or False: Warfarin and vitamin K actually work against each other in your body.
True. Vitamin K helps your blood clot. Warfarin makes your blood clot more slowly. Your INR level is monitored to keep them in balance.
2. True or False: When taking warfarin, you should limit foods with high levels of vitamin K like dark, leafy greens.
False. You don't need to avoid foods with vitamin K. The key is to consistently maintain your daily level of vitamin K.
Don't confuse vitamin K with the K on the periodic table for potassium. One's a vitamin, the other is a mineral.
3. True or False: Vitamin K information is not included on most packaged food nutritional labels.
True. So it's often hard to determine the amount of vitamin K in your food.
Clinical Trials Results: Watchman Better Than a Lifetime on Warfarin
by Steve S. Ryan, PHD, October 2015, Updated January 26, 2016
According to recent studies, you are better off having a Watchman device installed than spending a lifetime on warfarin.
In two randomized clinical trials comparing Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LACC-Watchman Device) to warfarin, 1,261 patients from the PROTECT AF and PREVAIL trials were studied. The follow-up period was around 3.3 years. Patients receiving the Watchman compared to patients on warfarin had significantly fewer:
• Hemorrhagic strokes
• Cardiovascular/unexplained death
• Non-procedural bleeding
• All-cause stroke or systemic embolism was similar between both strategies.
There were more ischemic strokes in the Watchman device group, but this was balanced by a greater number of hemorrhagic strokes in the Warfarin group.
However, the patients in the control group of the PREVIAL trial were considered "unusual" in that, given their risk profile, they had a much lower ischemic stroke rate than ever observed in any clinical trial. See Getting FDA Approval for the Watchman Device.
(The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Boston Scientific's WATCHMAN™ LAA closure technology for use in the U.S. on March 13, 2015. It has been available internationally since 2009. The FDA approval of the WATCHMAN device is based on the clinical program which consists of numerous studies, with more than 2,400 patients and nearly 6,000 patient-years of follow-up. The Watchman device will be available first at U.S. centers where it has been used in clinical studies.)
What Patients Need to Know: Watchman Actually Better Than Warfarin
The Watchman device provides similar protection against having an A-Fib (ischemic) stroke as being on warfarin.
But the Watchman device isn't simply an "alternative" to warfarin, but rather an improvement or advance or progression. One would intuitively expect that people receiving the Watchman device would also have less hemorrhagic strokes and bleeding compared to those on warfarin, which these studies do demonstrate.
Welcome Alternative to a Lifetime on Warfarin
Warfarin and other anticoagulants work by causing bleeding and are inherently dangerous. The Watchman device is not only a welcome alternative to a lifetime on warfarin, but is actually better than warfarin.
Long-term use of anticoagulants such as warfarin have been known to not only cause hemorrhagic strokes but also microbleeds in the brain which lead to dementia.
Among other bad side effects, long-term use of anticoagulants such as warfarin have been known to not only cause hemorrhagic strokes but also microbleeds in the brain which lead to dementia. See Patient on Anticoagulation Therapy for 10 Years Develops Microbleeds and Dementia.
A 2015 study found evidence of microbleeds in 99% of subjects aged 65 or older, and that increasing the imaging strength increased the number of detectable microbleeds. Microbleeds have been suggested to be predictive of hemorrhagic stroke.
According to current research, you are better off having a Watchman device installed than spending a lifetime on warfarin. (Of course, this assumes that the doctor performing the procedure is beyond his/her learning curve. That is, when operating doctors are first performing the procedure, there is a higher risk for procedural complications.)
What About the New Anticoagulants (NOACs)?
Does this research apply to the new anticoagulants like Pradaxa, Xarelto, Eliquis and Savaysa/Lixiana? Technically no. This research only applies to warfarin. But intuitively one would expect the same general principles to apply. All anticoagulants cause bleeding. That's how they work.
Caveat—Long-Term Effects of Watchman?
What are the long-term effects of leaving a mechanical device like the Watchman inside the heart? We know that, after a few months, heart tissue grows over the Watchman device so that the LAA is permanently closed off from the rest of the heart.
It seems unlikely that complications would develop after a long period of time as has happened with warfarin. But we can't say that for sure until enough time has passed. The first clinical trial installation of the Watchman device in the US was in 2009 and in Europe in 2004. So far no long-term complications have developed.
Preventing Stroke in the Elderly—Even If They Don't Have A-Fib!
One of the great potentials of the Watchman device is that it may someday be used to prevent stroke in the elderly even if they don't have A-Fib. Imagine a world where you no longer live in fear of a stroke as you get older, where 90%-95% of stroke risk can be eliminated by a simple 20 minute procedure. The Watchman device (and other Left Atrium Occlusion Devices such as the Lariat and the surgical AtriClip) may change the way elderly medicine is practiced.
How many people turning 70 or 75 would welcome a device that would almost guarantee freedom from the most severe type of ischemic stroke (a cardioembolic stroke)? The Watchman device has the potential to greatly reduce or eliminate the threat of strokes in the elderly!
Stop Taking Warfarin―Produces Arterial Calcification
Stop Taking Warfarin―Produces Arterial Calcification
The blood thinner, warfarin (Coumadin) is a "vitamin K-antagonist" which works by blocking vitamin K (i.e., K-2, menaquinone), thereby affecting several steps in the anticoagulation pathway and decreasing clotting proteins in the blood.
But vitamin K is also essential for heart and bone health. Vitamin K determines whether we maintain strong bone density and soft pliable tissues. Without enough K-2, osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to bone, doesn't function. This vascular calcification produces plaque and reduces aortic and artery elasticity.
"When calcium doesn't stay in bones, it can end up clogging your arteries, causing a heart attack or stroke."
Warfarin Blocks Vitamin K: Deposits Calcium in Arteries
By blocking vitamin K (K-2), warfarin deposits calcium in our arteries and progressively turns them into stone. In the absence of vitamin K, bony structures form in soft tissues. When you hear the term "hardening of the arteries," this means that previously flexible blood vessels are turning into rigid (calcified) bony structures.
In a study of 451 women using mammograms to measure arterial calcification, after just one month of warfarin use, arterial calcification increased by 50% compared to untreated women. After five years, arterial calcification increased almost 3-fold.
Why You Should You Stop Taking Warfarin
If you are taking warfarin (Coumadin), you should talk to your doctor about switching to Eliquis (apixaban) which tested the best of the NOACs and is the safest. (See my article, Warfarin and New Anticoagulants.)
The new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) do not block vitamin K. But the NOACs do have drawbacks. In the case of severe bleeding, there is currently no antidote or reversal agent like there is for warfarin (a reversal agent for the direct factor Xa inhibitors Xarelto and Eliquis is close to FDA approval).
Added 2015: The FDA approved a reversal agent Praxbind for the NOAC Pradaxa Oct. 16, 2015. In clinical trials, 5gs of Praxbind (idarucizumab) administered by IV reversed the anticoagulant effect of Pradaxa within minutes (which is significantly faster than the current antidotes for warfarin).
Whether or not to be on an anticoagulant and which one to take is the most difficult decision you and your doctor have to make (and your initial decision may change over time as your body changes.)
If you aren't happy with your doctor's response, get a second opinion. You need to feel confident and at peace with this decision.
Update: Aspirin No Longer Recommended as First-Line Therapy for Stroke Prevention
by Steve Ryan, Update August 2015
Aspirin is no longer recommended as first-line therapy for Atrial Fibrillation patients according to the 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Treatment Guidelines for Atrial Fibrillation. Though not a new finding, it should be noted that aspirin has been downgraded to a class 2B drug.
A similar directive is included in the 2012 European ESC guidelines for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation: aspirin is not recommended as first-line therapy for patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1.
Aspirin is not appropriate for people who are at low risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. For these people, the risks of gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhagic strokes outweigh any potential benefit. "Among the more than 16,000 deaths each year linked to bleeding…,about one-third of those deaths occur in those who take low-dose (81-mg) aspirin." The FDA in 2014 warned against widespread use of aspirin in people of average risk.
Aspirin also causes stomach ulcers in 13% of those using it. And these ulcers usually develop without any warning symptoms. Many of these ulcers will cause a serious stomach bleed at some point. Also, taking low-dose aspirin on a regular basis more than doubles your risk of developing wet macular degeneration. On the positive side, people regularly taking low-dose aspirin have a significantly lower chance of getting cancer. But according to Dr. Randall S. Stafford of Stanford, "no one should take daily, low-dose aspirin solely for the purpose of preventing cancer."
When is aspirin appropriate? Aspirin is recommended for "secondary" prevention of cardiovascular disease such as to prevent reoccurrence of a stroke or heart attack. Aspirin significantly reduces the risk for a second heart attack or stroke.

FAQs A-Fib Drug Therapy: Coumadin After Cardioversion
13. "After my cardioversion, my doctor kept me on Coumadin for a month. Why is that required? They mentioned something about a "stunned atrium. What is that?"
A "stunned atrium" is medically defined as a "state of temporary mechanical atrial dysfunction with preserved bioelectrical function." In non-medical terms your heart doesn't contract properly even though it is getting the right electrical and chemical signals to contract.
This can happen after an electrical cardioversion and is why the left atrium and, in particular, the Left Atrial Appendage tend to develop clots after an electrical cardioversion. The left atrium, and especially the Left Atrial Appendage, is "stunned" after the electrical shock and may not contract and pump out properly.
Clots can develop and be released when the LAA starts to contract again. That's why you need to be on a blood thinner like Coumadin (generic name: warfarin) for a month after your electrical cardioversion.

FAQs A-Fib Drug Therapy: Bleeding Risk
10. "I'm worried about the risk of bleeding. I have to take the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin). If I cut myself, do I risk bleeding to death?"
In general, no.
On a normal dosage of warfarin (Coumadin) you will bleed longer if you cut yourself (minor wound). But your blood will still clot.
You will also bruise more easily. You should stay away from contact sports like hockey, football, rugby, etc. or activities where you could easily injure yourself like mountain climbing, competitive biking, etc. (Professional athletes should not be on warfarin). But you can do normal daily activities on warfarin.
However, you may want to get a Medical ID Alert wallet card, bracelet or dog tag. Then, in case of an emergency, paramedics and doctors will know you're taking a blood thinner.
If you do have a more serious injury, you are definitely more at risk to bleed to death than if you weren't on warfarin.
If you're taken to an Emergency Room for treatment, most ER personnel are experienced in using proven antidotes to reverse the blood thinning effects of warfarin. But depending on the seriousness of your injury, there's no guarantee the reversal agents for warfarin will work in time.
(The newer anticoagulants like Pradaxa, Xarelto, Elquis unfortunately have no proven antidote. Pradaxa in particular seems to be associated with many deaths in the ER where doctors currently have no way to stop people from bleeding to death. See my article, Stop Prescribing or Taking Pradaxa)

8. "I'm on warfarin. Can I also take aspirin, since it works differently than warfarin? Wouldn't that give me more protection from an A-Fib (ischemic) stroke?"
No, combining is dangerous.
Preliminary research indicates that combining anticoagulants (warfarin) and antiplatelets (aspirin) in the same patient is associated with a substantially higher risk of fatal or non-fatal internal bleeding.
There's no indication that combining warfarin with an antiplatelet (aspirin, clopidogrel, or both) reduces the risk of ischemic stroke.
Added 8/10/15. Aspirin is no longer recommended as first-line therapy:
Aspirin has been downgraded from class 1 in the 2006 guidelines to class 2B in the 2014 guidelines.
In a Danish registry study, aspirin didn't show any benefit for stroke prevention.1 And in the European ESC guidelines, aspirin is not recommended as first-line therapy for patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1.2

Watchman Occlusion Device – Blood Thinners Alternative
The Watchman™ Device: The Alternative to Blood Thinners
By Steve S. Ryan, PhD, updated March 2015
Do you hate having to take Coumadin or other blood thinners? Hate the side effects? Or are you allergic to them? A replacement to taking blood thinners is the Watchman, an occlusion device.
The theory behind the WATCHMAN™ LAA closure technology is that most A-Fib clots originate in the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA). The Watchman closes off the LAA where 90-95% of A-Fib strokes come from. It's a very low risk procedure that takes as little as 20 minutes to install. Afterward, you would usually not need to be on blood thinners.
How It Works
The Watchman device comes in multiple sizes from 21mm to 33mm to accommodate the different sizes of LAAs. Once a patient's Left Atrial Appendage is measured, a wide-sheathed catheter with a spline is used to insert the Watchman device which has a self-expanding Nitinol (a special metal) open-ended circular frame.
The atrial surface of this frame is covered with a thin, permeable 160 μm (micron) pore filter made of polyester material (Polyethylene Terephthalate known as Dacron or PET). This filter allows blood to pass through while stopping clots. Little hooks or anchors called fixation barbs at the middle of the device make sure it is attached firmly to the LAA wall.
Before the catheter is removed (which fixes the Watchman in place), contrast agents are used to make sure the Watchman is stable and entirely closes off the LAA opening. Over time heart tissue grows over the polyester (PET) material so that it completely closes off the LAA with smooth heart tissue similar to other heart surfaces.
In this Occlusion image, heart tissue has completely covered the Watchman device after only nine months.
Patients on Coumadin continue to take it for six weeks after the Watchman device is inserted. They are then examined using a TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiogram) to make sure there is complete closure of the LAA. At that time they are taken off of Coumadin and put on a different type of blood thinner called clopidogrel (Plavix) until six months after the implant procedure.
Think of the Watchman as a replacement for blood thinners; both reduce but do not totally eliminate the risk of stroke. The stroke risk is reduced to that of a person with a normal heart.
Even while you are waiting for or trying to decide on having a Pulmonary Vein Ablation, you can have the Watchman inserted and reduce your stroke risk to that of a person without A-Fib.
The Future
Just as closing off the LAA is standard practice in the Cox Maze/Mini-Maze operations, in the future, the Watchman device could become part of most catheter ablation procedures. If included with the ablation procedure, the Watchman would protect the patient from blood clots even if the catheter ablation procedure was unsuccessful. The Watchman device may become standard therapy for anyone at risk of a stroke, not just for people with A-Fib.
For a list of US doctors installing the Watchman device, go to Steve's Lists/Doctors Installing the Watchman Device.
Update: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Boston Scientific's WATCHMAN™ LAA closure technology for use in the U.S. on March 13, 2015. It has been available internationally since 2009. The FDA approval of the WATCHMAN device is based on the clinical program which consists of numerous studies, with more than 2,400 patients and nearly 6,000 patient-years of follow-up. The Watchman device will be available first at U.S. centers where it has been used in clinical studies.
ATRIA Research Findings: Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention in A-Fib Patients
ATRIA Findings: Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention Versus Risk of Intracranial Hemorrhage
Anticoagulants are prescribed for Atrial Fibrillation patients to reduce the risk of clots and stroke. But anticoagulants can also increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. So, who benefits and who may be harmed?
The "AnTicoagulation and Risk Factors in Atrial Fibrillation" Study (ATRIA) has contributed significantly to better understanding which A-Fib patients will benefit most from anticoagulant therapy.
A-Fib and Stroke Risk
As a consequence of atrial fibrillation, the pooling of blood in the atrial chambers of the heart significantly increases the risk of formation of blood clots. If a piece of a blood clot breaks off and travels to the brain it can occlude (block) a blood vessel and prevent blood from reaching the affected area of the brain. This condition is known as an ischemic stroke and can cause severe disability including the inability to walk or talk.
Ischemic Stroke Versus Intracranial Hemorrhage
In order to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in people with atrial fibrillation, anticoagulant (blood thinner) medications are often prescribed. The most commonly used blood thinner is warfarin (Coumadin) although aspirin may also sometimes be used. While blood thinners can prevent ischemic stroke in people with atrial fibrillation, paradoxically, they can also cause bleeding into the brain, a condition known as intracranial hemorrhage.
Unfortunately, doctors don't have a fool-proof method of determining which patients with atrial fibrillation will benefit from blood thinners (prevention of ischemic stroke) and which patients may be harmed by blood thinners (cause an intracranial hemorrhage).
Clearly, more research is necessary to more accurately identify those patients who would benefit the most from taking blood thinners as opposed to those who are more likely to be harmed by taking blood thinners.
The "AnTicoagulation and Risk Factors in Atrial Fibrillation" Study (ATRIA)
The "AnTicoagulation and Risk Factors in Atrial Fibrillation" Study (ATRIA) published in 2009, by a collaborative group of researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of California at San Francisco, and Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, has contributed significantly to better understanding which patients with atrial fibrillation would benefit most from receiving anticoagulants for stroke prevention.
The study population consisted of 13,559 people with atrial fibrillation with a median age of 73 years. Twenty (20) percent of the subjects had no major risk factors for ischemic stroke. The major risk factors for ischemic stroke include older age (75 years or older), previous history of stroke, diabetes, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. This stroke-risk classification system is known as the CHADS2 grading system and is used by doctors as a basis for classifying patients with atrial fibrillation into stroke risk categories (low, intermediate, or high).
The researchers followed the clinical course of these 13,559 patients for a median of 6 years. At the time of enrollment into the study, 53% of the subjects were receiving warfarin (Coumadin) as prophylaxis for stroke prevention. During the follow-up period, the researchers identified a total of 1,092 thromboembolic events (occlusion of a blood vessel by a blood clot) among the study subjects, the overwhelming majority of which (1,017 cases or 93%) were ischemic strokes. Of the patients who experienced a thromboembolic event, 37% were receiving warfarin and 63% were not receiving warfarin.
The researchers also identified 299 patients among the study cohort who experienced an intracranial hemorrhage, of which 193 patients (65%) were receiving warfarin.
ATRIA Study Key Findings
The major findings of the study can be summarized as follows:
• The greatest benefit of anticoagulation therapy for the prevention of ischemic stroke was observed among patients with a history of ischemic stroke and those in the highest stroke risk category as determined by the CHADS2 stroke-risk grading system.
• In general, the net benefit of receiving warfarin anticoagulation therapy increased with advancing age. Patients with atrial fibrillation in the oldest age group (85 years of age or older) derived more benefit from warfarin prophylaxis than patients in the 75 to 84 year age group, although the benefits of warfarin prophylaxis was apparent in this age group as well.
• This finding strongly suggests that elderly people with atrial fibrillation who are not taking warfarin are at increased risk for ischemic stroke, however, adding warfarin for prevention of ischemic stroke in elderly people does not significantly increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage.
• Younger people with atrial fibrillation (64 years or younger) who are considered at low risk for developing an ischemic stoke as measured by the CHADS2 stroke-risk grading system, appear to derive little benefit from warfarin prophylaxis and, indeed, adding warfarin may do more harm (intracranial hemorrhage) than good (prevention of ischemic stroke).
Who Will Benefit, Who May Be Harmed
In summary, this study has contributed significantly to more clearly identifying which patients with atrial fibrillation will derive the most benefit from warfarin anticoagulation therapy and which patients may be harmed by this treatment.
If you have atrial fibrillation, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking blood thinner medications. In general, older people and those at highest risk for ischemic stroke as determined by the CHADS2 stroke-risk grading system will gain the most from anticoagulation therapy.
Blood thinners, however, may not be advantageous and may cause more harm than good in younger patients with atrial fibrillation who are considered to be at low risk for developing an ischemic stroke.

There is a t-shirt dress with the same print (http://bit.ly/MfAEXL), but this skirt was shown on the runway with a matching peplum top, giving the appearance of a dress. I wish I could convince myself to buy the top, but even a queen must know her limits. Ha ha! ;) - June 22, 2012 at 9:09 PM

I am playing through the "Uncharted" series again. I finished up UC3, and I wanted to go back and start from the beginning.
MW3 and Halo shouldn't take you that long to finish so I would leave Skyrim for after to enjoy for a great long period of time
^ Well, that's the thing, I can't really "finish" them because I'm way too hooked on the multiplayer (both in MW3 and in Reach/Anniversary) I'm in it for the campaigns too, of course, but the multiplayer modes... trouble me - also, performance issues in my PS3 version of Skyrim.
I started playing Skyrim today... I gotta say, it's pretty fucking awesome. I'm just doing side quests at the moment and I'm already at level 7.
^ It is by far the best game this year. I am loving every minute of it. I am only 3 quests into the main quest, been doing side quests all this time, and am now at level 39. Bring it on.
Well, I've been putting some serious effort into it. Last night I finally got my Smithing and Enchanting to 100 and was able to forge my ideal armour and greatsword. Province of Skyrim, here I come!
Once I get the game I plan on playing a sort of battlemage, with a sword in one hand and a spell at the ready in the other.
i have started the battlestar galatica campaigns or what ever they are calling them the browser game is just about unreal.
I might get some Skyrim in this weekend if the performance issues on the PS3 are less pronounced after the recent patch. Seeing it run super-smoothly on my roomie's 360 really was an eye-opener for how bad it actually was on my PS3. Goddamn!
Thinking of that too. Got the invite, but haven't even tried to download the necessary yet. I'm also interested in taking a look at LOTR: War in the North. Other than that, a bit more of Dragon Age 2

Kendall Herbst Kendall HerbstA few months ago we featured a day-in-the-life profile of Kendall Herbst, a first-year student at MIT Sloan's School of Management.
We recently caught up with her again, and she offered to share with us some of the coolest internships her peers landed for this summer.
"In the fall, banking and consulting recruitment begins, luring in interested parties along with risk-averse people who want to secure a prestigious spot early on," she told us. "Then comes tech companies like Google, Samsung and Facebook. Finally, my two primary fields of interest, startups and the luxury industry, start to trickle in. It's certainly stressful to have to wait until spring to recruit. But all of these industries come with their own blood-pressure-raising aspects."

Origins Available: English, Scottish Kelloh Early OriginsThe surname Kelloh was first found in Durham at Kelloe, a parish, partly in the union of Durham, and partly in that of Easington. "The manor of Kelloe, which is situated near the road from Stockton to Durham, and comprises about 1500 acres, appears to have given name to the family of Kelloe or Kellaw, of whom Richard de Kellaw, a native of the parish, was Bishop of Durham in 1311."

Kelloh Spelling VariationsKelloh Spelling VariationsDuring the era when a person's name, tribe and posterity was one of his most important possessions, many different spellings were found in the archives examined. Kelloh occurred in many references, and spelling variations of the name found included Kellow, Kello, Kelloe and others.

Book: Count The Roses by Jackie Weger
categories: Book, Cajun Country, Cajun Customs, New Orleans, Passion, Lafourche Parish, Sweet Romance, Alpha Hero, Independent Woman, Classic RomanceJackie Weger
about this book: Jennifer DeWitt meets her destiny in Louisiana backcountry. Rich in history and flaming with passion, Count the Roses is the story of one woman's desire to live her life as an independent woman. The place to do it: New Orleans—that humid, high-stepping city of music and magic on the Mississippi River where she could stare down the defeats in her life and hoist herself above it all. Battered heart in hand, Jennifer DeWitt starts life anew. Falling in lust for love with a sexy Cajun is not on her agenda. The sexy Cajun has other ideas.• "Awesome! I just can't get enough, keeps me wondering what's next! You will really enjoy this great book!" ~avp reader
• "Highly recommended. Jackie Weger paints pictures with words. Her descriptive talents take the reader emotionally inside her stories, and I never have read a bad book that had her name attached." ~avp reader
• "Brilliant new book. Reading Count the Roses transports you straight to the rain drenched bayou country as you watch the story progress like a fly on the wall. Jackie has this ability to pluck you from your mundane daily life and take you straight into the lives, hearts and minds of her characters. None of them are perfect, and each of their flaws endears you even more to them." ~avp reader

1975 Mikasa Chippendale A1-190 Pattern FINE BONE CHINA from Japan. This is one of the most beloved patterns from Mikasa, and not easy to find. Complete sets range from $750 to $1000. I have a ALMOST complete set. But there are a few pieces missing, and because of that I am willing to break this up and sell it by piece.
*****I am also willing to sell all of it at a much lower price than individually. If you are interested in that, please contact me and we can discuss it. *****
The following is what I have:
1 Large Serving Plate
5 Tea Cup and Saucer Sets
1 Gravy Bowl with attached base
12 Dessert Bowls
11 Appetizer Plates
11 Dinner Plates
7 Salad Plates
(please note the dinner and salad plates are not shown in the photos)
The shopping cart should allow you to order as many of each item as you want, though you will have to order different types of pieces one at a time. Please do not order more of a type than what I have shown above. As I sell items I will adjust the quantities. If you wish to order several of these, please convo me as I can get you a better deal in a reserved listing. Also, please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions regarding individual dimensions etc...
Excellent vintage condition. No chips or cracks.
Please note: These are vintage, preworn and/or preloved items. I do my best to list any issues, but signs of wear should be expected. Please feel free to convo me with any questions.

$ 12.00
Pretty set of blue and white salt and pepper shakers from japan. My best guess as to age is 1950s or 1960s due to the makers label on the bottom but I've been unable to date them exactly. I don't believe its Occupied Japan, if you collect that, but maybe you know better than I? Lovely floral, lines, and chevron pattern. Still retains the original corks.$ 45.00
Beautiful, genuine blue and white Delft from Holland. Pattern of flowers and leaves with a vaguely oriental feel and one striking bird front and center. Bears the makers mark of Westraven with the distinct bottle of Fles after it was absorbed by Fles. My best guess as to age of this is somewhere midcentury. This is a stunningly gorgeous pitcher, standing at just under 8.5" at its tallest and 4.25" in diameter at the base, not including the handle.$ 9.00
Pretty little carnival glass berry or trinket bowl in marigold. Probably circa 1950s. Has a pretty pattern of leaves and vines. The bowl is round but there's a squarish rim to it that's rather interesting. Measures 5" in diameter at its widest and stands just over 1.5" tall.$ 12.00
Collectible china plate with a floral print of what looks like old roses and wildflowers in pinks, purples,, yellows and blues on a white background. J K Décor Carlsbad, Bavaria, made in Western Germany, circa the 50s or 60s, I believe. Just shy of 8" in diameter.$ 12.00
Collectible china plate with a pattern of salmon pink and grey basket type and scrolls with little roses on a white background. Schumann, Bavaria. Scalloped edges. 8" in diameter.$ 7.50
Cute little china saucer. Sweet handpainted roses around the rim, scalloped edges with gold. Perfect little dish for soaps, jewelry or keys or any other trinkets one has, or of course as a tea saucer! 5.5" in diameter, .75" tall.$ 7.50
Cute little china saucer. Sweet handpainted roses around the rim, scalloped edges with gold. Perfect little dish for soaps, jewelry or keys or any other trinkets one has, or of course as a tea saucer! 5.5" in diameter, .75" tall.$ 7.50
Cute little china saucer. Royal Albert Bone China from England, White Trillium pattern. So pretty with the white flowers and green leaves on a white background, gold ruffled edges Perfect little dish for soaps, jewelry or eys or any other trinkets one has, or of course as a tea saucer! 5.5" in diameter, 1" tall.$ 12.00
Sweet little trinket dish, vintage from Germany. White center with a rim of cream and decorated in peach and soft tangerine colored cabbage roses. A little hook opening at one end, so it would be cute and easy to hang as wall decor if you wished. Perfect little dish for soaps, jewelry or eys or any other trinkets one has. 7.25" long, 6" wide.$ 18.00
Pair of pretty little cut glass champagne or cocktail glasses. Has a pretty pattern of leaves and vines. They have a somewhat scalloped finish to them. They each measure 3.75" in diameter at their widest and stand 4.5" tall.$ 29.00
Pretty Cut Glass fruit bowl with six matching smaller berry bowls. Possibly Anchor Hocking or similar but there's no mark so I can't be sure. According to the previous owner, these are 1950s or 60s. The larger bowl measures 8" in diameter and stands about 3.5" tall. The six smaller berry bowls are each 4.5" in diameter and 2.25" tall.$ 15.00

Beautiful lead crystal vase or candle holder. Vintage from about the 1980s. Retains its original sticker tag, that informs us it us 24% Fine Lead Crystal, By George Crystal. The top part comes apart from the bottom part, so I don't think its something you can put water in for fresh flowers, but dried flowers or perhaps candy or candles or some other display would be perfect in this piece. Stands 12" tall on the base.$ 10.00
Pretty set of white and floral salt and pepper shakers from Japan. Marked Nippon ( which would mean from about 1880-1921, as that was when real Nippon was marketed to the U.S.) but I can't identify this mark as a genuine Nippon mark, so I'm pricing it as a more modern copy ( still vintage though) . Nippon is the Japanese word for Japan, and during the above time period all imports to the U.S were marked this way. After 1921 the U.S required the word Nippon be replaced with Japan. These little cuties have a sweet floral pattern, and one of the corks is still intact.$ 12.00

A pair of gorgeous candlestick holders. I believe these are crystal, they have that slick feel and they make that lovely ringing sound when pinged with a fingernail, but I can't swear to it so I'm pricing these as cut glass. Either way they are really eegant and beautiful. Each stands about 5" tall and 3.5 " wide at the base. The listing is for the pair.$ 15.00
This is a rare double salt and pepper shaker set by Lenox. I've been unable to date it exactly as I've seen conflicting eras mentioned but my best guess is mid century. It has an Art Deco feel to it, but I don't think its that old. Its stamped on the bottom; Lenox Major Du All. And its salt and pepper in one shaker. Very cool. This little guy does still have corks. It stands about 3.5" tall and is about 2.5" at its widest. Very collectible!$ 12.00
