18 Common Committed Grilling and Smoking Mistakes You Should be Aware of
Smoking meat ought to be fun, yet in case you're simply a beginner, it can feel like there is an excessive amount of stuffs you need to learn.
This can get unpleasant when your visitors begin to arrive exactly when everything is turning out badly. Before you know it, your companions are all "away" every time you have a BBQ.
In the world of cooking, both grilling and smoking are an artistic field to prove oneself. Claiming oneself a BBQ lover usually doesn't satisfy the person until the perfection in taste appears.
You also have to consider knowing the possible errors regarding this process that could occur.
So it is important that we must discus about the possible deformities of Smoking & Grilling procedure. And, when one will learn about the possible errors, it will be easier for him to take precautions. Right?
Some Most Occurring Mistakes
Here, we have enumerated some of the most common mistakes that people often get into while smoking and grilling meat. Taking care of these should help you undergo the process a breeze.
1. Incorrect Tools And Material's Uses
It is found that both experts and newbies tend to fall in this mistake. As a result, inconveniencies are typically the outcomes of this propensity.
Most often, you may use tongs to flip pizza, fish, brisket and burgers. No doubt, this is only one of those regular occasions when grillers utilize BBQ apparatuses inappropriately and at the faulty time.
Certainly, you don't need to cut through your burger bun, sliver your fish, or create hole in the pizza. So spatula will be appropriate to use in its place.
Quality tongs are suitable in case of hot dogs, ribs, steaks, chicken, skewers and pork chops. So far, one will realize that using the right apparatus will take him/her to the ultimate perfection.
2. Using Lighter Fluid to Light Charcoal Briquettes
In case of emergency, lighter fluid is the best alternative to use. Though it is also the worst idea to use lighter fluid in the meat prep area. The smell of the fluid will end up messing everything. Even, it will affect the texture of your food as well.
It is better to use a chimney starter and light up the charcoal briquettes, though the process will make an extra effort indeed. It is a bit slow procedure but will not interfere the flavor.
3. Using Wet Wood Chips Or Chunks
Don't use soaked up wood chips or chunks as they will turn your cooking process slow. It has a cooling effect which will require more energy to get the required temperature.
If you are seeking for the traditional smoke food, generally it will take a lot of time. So an expertness in this sector and a bulk time investment will help you. In order you must need to avoid the wood chips or chunks to get soaked before its use.
4. Making Mistake In The Wood Selection
Note that the flavor of the food you have planned to grill and smoke is dependable on the wood you are choosing.
Ripe wood of any tree will provide the best possible flavor. Vice versa, unseasoned or the green wood will affect the expected texture of the food.
Green woods also don't burn clean as the seasoned woods do. Therefore, using oak, hickory, maple, apple, etc. or any other seasoned hardwood will prove a better choice.
5. Over Adjusting The Temperature
One must know the best use of the device in which he/she will grill or smoke the food. It is necessary to maintain a medium or high-medium temperature.
Thinking to put the device in maximum temperature to get the finest taste is simply stupid. It will make your meat less juicy and rough rather than making them delicious.
It is also important to maintain the temperature not too low, because it will make the procedure lengthy. To control the temperature, closing and opening the vent can be the best technique to accomplish temperature strength on a normal flame broil.
This help increases the heat while shutting lessens barbecuing and smoking heat.
Herein, it is obvious to keep in mind that your grilling temperature will fluctuate depending on the recipe. Consequently, we would guide deliberately perusing your user manual to adequately utilize the correct amount of heat for specific barbecues.
6. Peeking The Lid Too Often
Excessive peeking should be avoided to maintain barbeque perfection. It interrupts the flow of required oxygen which maintains the taste excellence.
If someone keeps on peeking too much, it will also delay the cooking time. As to check the food when the lid is open each time, it will make a temperature fall from twenty to thirty degree. So unnecessary peeking must be ducked.
To dodge this hitch, use a remote thermometer after placing the meat in your grill.
Wait until your food is cooked to the approximate thermometer indications. If you feel something fishy, only then you may check once to correct it if possible. Or else, too much hastiness and anxiety may ruin everything.
7. Regulation of Fire And Air Vents
To make your grilling process right all the way, you must need to look after the air vents. Sometimes, lower air vent gets blocked and lack of air flow makes the wood to start smoldering. This causes to produce unwanted smelly smoke.
It will be many times impossible to get control over a big unwanted flame within the desirable time. So it is better to open the upper air vent and regulate the air flow through the lower air vent.
8. Wrong Conception of Making Excessive Smoke
You must admit that excess of any thing is not good at the end. You might think that smoke is quite good and important for the smoking process, but unfortunately, thinking often results opposite in practical field.
You must acknowledge that excess smoke doesn't mean excellent Barbeque outcomes. A tendency among the beginners is found that, they add too much wood which results a huge amount of smoke.
Contrarily, adding small amount of wood would make a required amount of smoke, which will keep the smoking process to the level of its excellency.
Excessive smoke creates an unexpected intense aroma, which makes the meat disgusting to eat sometimes. Oppositely, if you manage to maintain the right amount of smoke then your BRQ will be among the delicious ones.
It is also necessary to understand that keeping too low smoke supply is also not expected in this process. At least, it should maintain a level of consistency with the food you are preparing. It is better to keep the upper air vent open and let the air and smoke flow free.
9. Hood Thermometer Observation Technique
Many people make a silly mistake thinking that the thermometer is on the perfect location of the grill's lid. This placement of the thermometer gives a slight different temperature reading as it is placed a bit distant from the grill gate.
In most cases, thermometer placement in the grill gate is very cheap. Therefore, it often shows the temperature of its above space atmosphere. Hence it shouldn't be trusted 100% as it lacks accuracy.
Every meat lovers admit that, it is crucial to get the accurate temperature reading while smoking meat. So, one must not compromise with a good quality smoker thermometer for its little expensiveness.
10. Quick Cooking And Some Other Technical Issues
Generally, everything goes on by its own characteristics, even cooking different food items also. It is not necessary that every item will take the same amount of time to be prepared.
Even in the grilling process, it is the cook who decides to run the process depending on what the item, equipment and recipe is.
People usually think that if they are cooking large amount of chicken, it may take more time than preparing less quantity. It is a very simple thing to realize that quantity has no role, which impacts the time to get ready.
In the world of cooking those who are beginner and those who are experts don't hold the same value. An expert never thinks the meal is ready when he feels it but he does when the meal's perfection scenario makes him think.
11. Being Impatient
Whatever the situation is, if you allow yourself to be impatient then at least don't look for other things to ruin your BRQ perfection.
Once you are impatient, it will divert your mind and make you do unusual stuff which may hamper your cooking. You may also find at the end that, your barbeque texture was hampered just because you were too hasty.
One must be sure about his time flexibility before he starts grilling, as any kind of hastiness may hamper the recipe. Make sure to have all the necessary equipment ready before beginning the procedure.
12. Making Mistake In Meat Selection
Saving money is a common tendency among many people but sometimes this can turn into total loss project. One should not compromise while buying good quality meats from market.
You desire of best barbeque or smoked meat will be fulfilled only when the person will choose some good quality meats rather than poor quality or steal meats.
13. Beginner Experiments Without Prior Knowledge
You may be a barbeque lover but if you are preparing barbeque or smoking meat for the first time, then it is better to learn some important stuff first.
Many people make these lame mistakes of experimenting meat without learning the smoker's use properly. Learning your smoker is too important so that you can maintain the correct temperature.
If you don't have any previous experience of smoking meats, then it is better to start with less demanding meat.
14. Preparing The Smoker By Preheat
Preheating your smoker will end your work with perfection. Whatever your recipe is, you must need to know how long you have to smoke that particular type of meat. It is also important to maintain the starting temperature of the particular meat which you may get form its data based on the starting smoke.
So it means you have to heat the smoker properly to its demanded temperature before you start up smoking. You will also find the time duration of how long to heat by reading the recipe module.
15. Losing Control On The Grill Internal Temperature
You may try every possible way to keep the required temperature but sometimes you may fail to do so because of sudden weather changes.
Many times the weather outside may have a sudden temperature fall or a strong wind blows. So one must see if everything is okay inside or not.
If any changes in temperature drop is found then it must be corrected instantly to keep the process go on all okay.
Many smokers are not equipped by special monitoring systems. Often it happens that the sudden run out of charcoal or wood also causes the change in temperature. So it is better to check once a while if everything is going all right.
16. Changing Grills Setting Too Often
Pre study about the recipe and procedure is very important. Beginners are often found experimenting with one setting and changing that after a while. It is a slow process of cooking since nothing can be acquired instantly if any sudden changes are made.
Opening the lid frequently and changing the air vent setting too often may cause a sudden rise in temperature. The particular temperature rise is unnecessary sometimes and should be maintained quickly but it seems a difficult task.
Therefore, if you want to maintain the temperature and control the whole smoking process better, it is better not to change the setting too often.
17. Avoiding The Meat To Rest Before You Bring It Out
Many don't even know that letting the meats to rest would give them a perfect finishing. If we can wait few hours to cook, it won't be that hard to wait 10-15 minutes more.
If you never tried this technique before, then please, you must give it a try.
Instantly cutting the meats often spoils the flavor and it will not remain as juicy as you want it to be. If you wait a while patiently, you will get juicy meats as supposed to be.
18. Using A Single Cooking Zone
When you are using a single cooking zone, the risk of undercooking will appear. As you are cooking, take care of both the side of the meat. Or else, one side will be over cooked and the other side will remain raw.
We expect perfection but don't bother to find the mistakes and often become hopeless. If you intend to learn from your mistakes then you are on the right track.
This article will help you have a pre knowledge of possible mistakes you may commit. Not every but maximum possible flaws has been discussed here which may hamper your grill. So keep them all in mind and enjoy a delicious perfect traditionally smoked meat.

Why go Off the Grid?
You may be in the situation where it is to expensive to connect to the grid or you wish to get off the grid due to increased utility prices. Recent advances in energy storage and inverter systems have seen a reduction in prices.
Stand-alone photovoltaic power systems (RAPS, SAPS) are electrical power systems energized by photovoltaic panels which are independent of the utility grid.
These types of systems may use solar panels only or may be used in conjunction with a diesel generator or a wind turbine.
In stand-alone photovoltaic power systems, the electrical energy produced by the photovoltaic panels cannot always be used directly. As the demand from the load does not always equal the solar panel capacity, battery banks are generally used. The primary functions of a storage battery in a stand-alone PV system are:
- Energy Storage Capacity and Autonomy : To store energy when there is excess and provide it when required.
- Voltage and Current Stabilization : To provide stable current and voltage by eradicating transients.
- Supply Surge Currents : to provide surge currents to loads like motors when required.
The first important step to off grid power is to determine the cost of connecting to the grid and comparing that to the cost of a stand alone system.
Stand alone Solar Panel Installation systems vary greatly in size and price and this is largely due to the energy storage component. Determining the load and days of autonomy on a stand alone solar system will determine the size of the battery bank.
Due to varying consumption of individual households, Steven from Green Energy Electrical will inspect and individually calculate your load profile to design a system that suits your energy requirements.

Computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) is an Internet surveying technique in which the interviewer follows a script provided in a website. The questionnaires are made in a program for creating web interviews. The program allows for the questionnaire to contain pictures, audio and video clips, links to different web pages, etc. The website is able to customize the flow of the questionnaire based on the answers provided, as well as information already known about the participant. It's considered to be a cheaper way of surveying since you don't need to use people to hold surveys unlike Computer-assisted telephone interviewing. With the increasing use of the Internet, online questionnaires have become a popular way of collecting information. The design of an online questionnaire often has an effect on the quality of data gathered. There are many factors in designing an online questionnaire; guidelines, available question formats, administration, quality and ethic issues should be reviewed. Online questionnaires should be seen as a sub-set of a wider-range of online research methods.
Using online questionnairesEdit
There are several reasons why someone would utilize online questionnaires as their preferred testing method. A few of the advantages and disadvantages of this method have been summarized below:[1][2]
- The administrator has greater flexibility in displaying questions. Questions can be displayed with:[1]
- Check boxes
- Pull down menus
- Pop up menus
- Help screens
- sub menus
- An online forum allows responses to be received more quickly from subjects.[3]
- This method is also cheaper to administer, as there are no costs associated with purchasing paper or other materials for printing. Postage costs are also mitigated.[4]
- Since data is collected into a central database, the time for analysis is subsequently reduced.[5]
- It is easier to correct errors on an online questionnaire, since the administrator does not have to reprint all the questionnaires for distribution.[1]
- Not everyone has access to the Internet, so the response rate is limited.[1]
- Many people are not receptive to completing questionnaires online.[6]
- Studies indicate that the demographic that responds to online questionnaire invitations are generally biased to younger people.[7]
Questionnaire designEdit
An online questionnaire needs to be carefully thought through before it is launched. There are several important paradigms that should be considered when creating an online questionnaire.[1]
Collection and prioritization of dataEdit
- The objectives of the initial inquiry need to be reviewed to determine what information needs to be gathered.[8]
- The required information should be ranked in order of significance in an unbiased manner. Topics should not lead a person into making false conclusions.[9]
Online questionnaire formatEdit
- The questionnaire should begin with a short introduction that informs the subject why the questionnaire is being conducted.[9]
- Questions for questionnaire should be created in the most appropriate type of format that facilitates understanding.[1]
- In creating the layout of the online questionnaire, "smart branching" should be utilized to lessen complexity. For example, if a subject selects "yes" to a question, the questionnaire would automatically jump to the next relevant question and vice versa.[4]
- A brief "thank you" note should be included at the end of the questionnaire.[4]
Questionnaire lengthEdit
- As a rule of thumb, the questionnaire should not exceed 5 minutes.[9]
- A sample of the questionnaire should be distributed to at least 5 people, prior to publication on the web. Upon their completion of the questionnaire, feedback from the participants should be obtained.[1]
- Information relating to whether they understood the main point of the questionnaire should be gathered.[3]
- It is important to distinguish if participants had any difficulties with any of the questions.[6]
- The feedback of the subjects should be utilized to make any necessary changes to the questionnaire.[3]
Question formatsEdit
In designing a questionnaire, the evaluation method should be kept in mind when choosing the response format. In this section, there are various response formats that can be used on online questionnaires.[1]
The respondent is required to click on the circle, which corresponds to the desired answer. A dot in the middle will appear once an answer is chosen. Only one answer can be chosen.[1]
- Recommended when the choice of answers are mutually exclusive.
- No default answer should be provided. If a default answer is provided, it may be mistaken as an answer if the respondent chooses to skip the question.
- Require precision in clicking.[1]
Check boxesEdit
The respondent is required to click on the box next to the answer that corresponds to the desired choice. A checkmark will appear in the box once an answer is chosen. More than one answer can be selected.[1]
- If there are many options, a simple matrix is recommended.[6]
- When using check boxes, if more than one answer can be checked, it should be specified in the instructions.[6]
- If "none of the above" is required, provide it with a radio button to prevent an erroneous check on this choice in case another answer has been chosen.[1]
The respondent is required to click on the arrow on the far right side of the box.[1] Once clicked, a display with a list of answers will appear.[3] A scroll bar may appear on the right hand side if a large number of answers are displayed.[3] The respondent can click on the highlighted section of the list to select an answer.[1] This answer will then appear in the box. Only one answer can be selected for this type of question.[1]
- Good option for long lists such as state/country of residence.[3]
- Should be avoided for items where typing is faster. For example, year of birth.[3]
- In designing drop-down boxes, do not make the first option visible to the respondent. This may be misleading where no answer may be chosen.[6]
Open ended questionsEdit
Open-ended questions are those that allow respondents to answer in their own words. In an online survey, textboxes are provided with the question prompt in order for respondents to type in their answer. Open-ended questions seek a free response and aim to determine what is at the tip of the respondent's mind. These are good to use when asking for attitude or feelings, likes and dislikes, memory recall, opinions, or additional comments.[10]
The respondent is required to click inside of the text box to get the cursor inside the box. Once the cursor is blinking inside of the box, the answer of the question can be typed in.[6]
- Make the size of the text box according to the desired and required amount of information from the respondent.[1]
- Provide concise and clear input instructions.
Rating scalesEdit
The respondent must select one value from a scale of possible options. For example, poor, fair, good, or excellent. Rating scales allow the person conducting the survey to measure and compare sets of variables.
- If using rating scales, be consistent throughout the survey. Use the same number of points on the scale and make sure meanings of high and low stay consistent throughout the survey.
- Use an odd number in your rating scale to make data analysis easier. Switching your rating scales around will confuse survey takers, which will lead to untrustworthy responses.
- Limit the number of items in ranking or rating scale questions to fewer than ten. These questions can become difficult to read after ten options. Longer rating or ranking questions can also cause display issues in some environments.
Responses to online questionnairesEdit
Response rates are frequently quite low[citation needed] and there is a danger that they will continue to drop due to over-surveying of web-users.
Jon Krosnick argues that the following three factors determine the successfulness of the questionnaire and the likelihood of achieving decent levels of response.
- Respondent ability
- Respondent motivation
- Task difficulty/questionnaire design[11]
Bosnjak and Tuten argue that there are at least seven ways in which online survey's are responded to.[12]
They establish the following typology
- Complete Responders are those respondents who view all questions and answer all questions.
- Unit nonresponders are those individuals who do not participate in the survey. There are two possible variations to the unit nonresponder. Such an individual could be technically hindered from participation, or he or she may purposefully withdraw after the welcome screen is displayed, but prior to viewing any questions.
- Answering Drop-Outs consist of individuals who provide answers to those questions displayed, but quit prior to completing the survey.
- Lurkers view all of the questions in the survey, but do not answer any of the questions.
- Lurking Drop-Outs represent a combination of 3 and 4. Such a participant views some of the questions without answering, but also quits the survey prior to reaching the end.
- Item nonresponders view the entire questionnaire, but only answer some of the questions.
- Item non-responding drop-outs represent a mixture of 3 and 6. Individuals displaying this response behavior view some of the questions, answer some but not all of the questions viewed, and also quit prior to the end of the survey.
Administration of online questionnairesEdit
Once the questionnaire is designed, it must be administered to the appropriate sample population for data collection.[7] Attracting the appropriate target audience often requires advertisement. There are various methods used to attract participants
- bulletin boards
- mass emails
- advertisements in commercial areas
- monetary incentives
- discounts on company products
This usually helps in attracting willing participant which ultimately provide better quality data as opposed to relunctant participants.
Location of administration for the online questionnaire may be a factor in the administration if a specific environment is required.[1] A quiet environment may be needed for questions, which require a certain amount of concentration.[13] The questionnaire may need to be administered in a secluded environment to protect sensitive information provided by the participant.[8] Security measures in the software may also need to be added in these cases.[4] In contrast, online questionnaires may also be very informal, relaxed and can be conducted in the comfort of someone's home.[1]
Quality of online questionnairesEdit
Questionnaire quality can be measured through the value of the data obtained and participant satisfaction.[1] To maintain a high quality questionnaire length, conciseness and question sequence should be considered.[13] First, questionnaires should only be as long as they need to be.[3] Conciseness can be achieved through removing redundant and irrelevant questions, which can add frustration to the participant, but not value to the research.[7] Finally, placing questions in a logical sequence also gives the participant a better mental map as he/she is filling out the questionnaire.[3] Moving randomly between subjects and having answers in a non-intuitive sequence can confuse the participant.[1]
Ethics in Online QuestionnairesEdit
Ethical issues should be considered when gathering data from a target audience. Below are common things one should keep in mind when considering the rights and interests of the participant.[1]
- Participant should not be obliged to answer any of the questions.[8]
- Incentives to take a survey should be used sparingly.[8]
- Questionnaires should have the option to be anonymous.[4]
- Confidentiality must be imposed on certain questionnaires. Identification may be required on questionnaires that need follow up. Although, in this case the administrator may choose to use identifying numbers rather than names. In this case, the participant of the questionnaire should completely understand what the number is used for and why it is there.[13]
- Questions should have the option of "I don't know" or an option that denotes neutrality so the participant feels he/she has the opportunity to plead ignorance or neutrality so that inaccurate data is not provided.[1]
- Questions should not trick the participant. They should be worded clearly; the participant should feel comfortable and know exactly what he/she is responding to.[6]
- Participant in most cases should know why the questionnaire is taking place and what the information will be used for.[3]
- In some cases, the questionnaire should be reviewed by an ethics committee or outside party.[1] This is particularly important if the questionnaire involves giving sensitive information or the topic is one which may make some participants uncomfortable.
Online survey toolsEdit
There are mainly two ways you can develop an online survey and it is recommended that you use a software that provides access to professionally designed survey templates.
1) Do it yourself Do-it-yourself is for people who are fairly competent with using HTML, PHP and MySQL or you have easy access to someone who is competent and will understand design of your questionnaire. Being able to use the technology is not the only hurdle. It is important to think about logic behind the questions. For example, a particular question needs to be answered if the participant is "male" and above age 18. The form should be designed such that it takes the user to that specific question. It is also important to think about how the data from the questionnaire will be extracted for analysis.
2) Off the shelf tools For most people it is recommended to use the off-the-shelf tools. These tools are built for people who are not familiar with the above technology and guide user to build a professional looking web based questionnaire. Some of the options are available to purchase outright where the user installs the software on their web server and is responsible for maintaining the data and updating the software. Others are available as Software as a service (SaaS) where the purchaser/user pays a monthly (or quarterly or yearly) fee to use the software that is maintained by the software provider on its servers. It is advisable to build a simple questionnaire before building the final one.

Description of Course:
ARTS 2316 (ARTS 2316) Painting Foundations (3 semester hours) This course provides a foundation for painting classes. Emphasis will be placed on color theory and design as they relate to the process of painting. Lectures and discussions will address both the history of painting and current issues in contemporary art. This course will cover an introduction to the materials of painting, color mixing, and the preparation of painting surfaces.
A studio workshop ("learning by doing, through practice"), the class explores the fundamentals of paint handling and careful, perceptual observation related to building convincing yet economic form and spatial depth in a painting. Next, students explore various ways of constructing the layers of a painting, optional attitudes in image making, and "re-directing the viewer's gaze". Students are presented with visual problems to solve that encourage sound design, careful observation, subjective search, and investigating within uncertainty. Assignments encourage an understanding, sensitivity, and command of the visual language as well as building an awareness of one's personal vision. Individual and group critiques.
Required Texts:
None required at this time.
Required artist research and readings; and a gallery or museum visit will be announced in class.

In Australia, business may have a few options when they are looking for the web hosting. There are dedicated servers Australia and virtual private servers offering the desired kind of support and hosting services that most customers need for their new websites.
In most cases when people are about to shift their huge business from one host to another or when they are going to open their offline business to the online market as well, there are many things to compare and find out in order to make it easier for management of the business sand to make sure it flourishes in a better and consistent manner.
There are certain common myths that most people follow when they are going to get their first web hosting service for the new website.
As a fact people may think that an expensive service could be the best web hosting Australia for the new website so they should be investing in this service a lot.
This is not the right way of selecting the hosting services. Because of the fact, not all expensive hosts for a website could be a solution to all problems until and unless you know if they offer a higher level security for the data, 100 percent uptime without any issues and an easy, user friendly setup and interface to manage the websites in a proper way.
Additionally, sometimes people only focus on getting the ssl Australia and consider that if they have the free SSL they are all good with the hosting service they have selected.
But the fact is that focusing on just one aspect is never a good way to assure better hosting service provider, rather a mix of all features that support a new website in a positive way should be considered as a good criteria when selecting a web hosting service provider for the business website.

PALO ALTO, CA — In the past five years, 10 new system therapies have been approved for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common type of kidney cancer. Despite the proliferation of treatments, overall survival rates have only incrementally improved. Five-year survival rates for metastatic renal cell carcinoma remains less than 20%.
Still, "the outlook for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma remains bright," according to John Leppert, MD, MS, director of urologic oncology at the VA Palo Alto, CA, Health Care System and associate professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine. "While the overall survival has seen modest gains, there is reason to expect that these improvements will continue with the rapidly increasing number of treatments and options that are available for patients."
In addition, advances in personalized medicine that help physicians match specific characteristics of a patient's tumor to appropriate therapies may improve efficacy and minimize toxicity, Leppert told U.S. Medicine.
"Today, clinicians often will match patients with treatments using tried and true methods —clinicians will ask about each patient's preference, inform them of possible side effects, and together they can decide on the best approaches. As the field of precision medicine advances, I expect that future discussions will include review of the genetic alterations of each patient's tumor and perhaps even blood tests that will be able to monitor the response of each cancer to treatment in a way that will detect responses much quicker than can be seen on imaging tests like CT and MRI scans," he said.
In an editorial in European Urology, Leppert elucidated some of the challenges to using blood tests and genetic alterations to guide therapy today. "Metastatic RCC, like all cancers, employs myriad strategies to grow, invade, metastasize and evade the host immune response. These actions are orchestrated via a unique genomic landscape, with several frequent mutations and a long right tail of rare variants," he wrote.1
While next-generation sequencing has enabled the identification of mutations in circulating cell-free DNA (ctDNA), researchers do not yet know which genomic alterations drive RCC or which result from the cancer's response to specific therapies.
A study of 220 patients with metastatic RCC analyzed genomic alterations in circulating tumor DNA following treatment with typical first-line therapies (sunitinib, pazopanib and bevacizumab) and those common in later lines (everolimus, axitinib, cabozantinib and nivolumab). Using an assay that included 73 common genomic alterations, they found genomic alterations in 78.6% of patients, with the most frequent across all treatments being TP53 in 35%, VL in 23%, EGFR in 17%, NF1 in 16% and ARID1A in 12%.2
Comparing alterations in those who received typical first-line regimens to those who received typical second line or later therapies detected notable changes in the frequency of TO53 (49% vs. 24), VHL (29% vs. 18%), NF1 (20% vs. 3%), EGFR (15% vs. 8%) and PIK3CA (17% vs. 8%). A subgroup analysis that looked at only patients treated with endothelial growth factor inhibitors in the first line found an even greater disparity in frequencies, with TP53 alterations twice as common in the first-line group (64% vs. 31%) and NF1 far more common (29% vs. 4%).
In his editorial, Leppert noted that the assay used did not include four of the nine most common mutations seen in RCC based on The Cancer Genome Atlas and the rate of TP53 alterations seen in the study was much higher than that found in previous tissue analyses. Issues like these explain some of the challenges in predicting response to new therapies, he told U.S. Medicine.
"There is no established list of which genetic changes or other important biomarkers should be included in testing," he said. "So, as of today, we need more study of these possible markers to prove that they will actually help us select therapies to benefit patients."
Leppert also noted that few patients in the study had serial ctDNA samples and "these showed decreasing agreement with increasing time between tests. This could illustrate a new challenge: temporal genetic heterogeneity." That would add an additional level of complexity to the already known issues posed by spatial heterogeneity in tumors, which may require analysis of up to five biopsies of the same primary tumor or metastasis to capture 80% of the genetic mutations.
Future studies will need to evaluate the genetics and characteristics of each patient's tumor, "but they will also include studies of the proteins that each tumor may make, and of the protein enzymes that may be the Achilles heel of each tumor," Leppert said.
Greater understanding of the individual patient's immune system and development of strategies that encourage the immune system to identify and attack the cancer will be part of future research and developments in treating RCC, he added.
"Taken together, I am optimistic about our increasing ability to treat veterans with metastatic kidney cancer and that we will continue to work toward improving the lives of patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma," Leppert said.

This stage is Fire Bros. Hideout #3 (6-B). This complete walkthrough will provide you with a 100% video playthrough. To access this stage, look for a pictured patch of ground on the map next to 6-2. This stage is pretty crazy where you have to battle with a bunch of hardcore enemies including two Hammer Bros., two Boomerang Bros. and one Fire Bro. Your best bet is to enter the stage with projectile weapons yourself such as the Boomerang and Fire Flower.
An alternative way is to let their own projectiles hit each other, however this method is a little bit more risky.

On the first page of the book, we meet three sisters, hurrying home from school in a small town in Afghanistan, trying to avoid the teen-age boy harassing them from his bicycle. By page five, their beleaguered father, distracted by his opium habit and angry that he has five daughters and no sons, has decreed that if they are not safe in the street, his daughters cannot attend school.
That's how we're introduced to the life of Rahima, the middle sister, and soon enough to the story of their great-great grandmother, Shekiba, who lived a century earlier in Kabul, in an Afghanistan that in some ways has changed very little.

Proposed changes to Cedar Brook Park would be in the area
between Arlington Avenue and the existing ball fields.
Plainfield City Council declined Monday evening to either amend or delay consideration of a resolution of support for Union County's plan to make changes to Cedar Brook that will include installing an artificial turf field that can accommodate both soccer and football, plus drainage construction (the field is in a flood zone) and 70-foot poles to provide night lighting.
The business agenda of the Council was adopted without any fuss in about twenty minutes. Then the action began.
Council President Cory Storch opened the discussion by remarking that the proposed resolution on Cedar Brook Park had been broached with him only on Friday. He agreed to include it in the Council agenda, but it could only be formally added to the agenda by a super majority of 5 votes at Mondy's meeting.
Councilors quizzed Union County Parks & Recreation Director Ron Zuber, as well as Plainfield Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) chair Bill Michelson and Plainfield Planning Board chair Ron Scott Bey at length before tackling the vote to put the item on the agenda.
The county's proposal has been fraught since the beginning. As I pointed out last November (see my post here), when they originally came before the HPC, county representatives were ill-prepared for the commission's and the public's questions.
This was remedied somewhat by the time county officials came before the Planning Board for a capital plan review in December (see my post here) -- for one thing, they came up with Olmsted drawings from the 1920s showing that active sports use was planned for from the beginning.
However, acrimony between the county's deputy counsel and HPC chair Michelson effectively poisoned the atmosphere.
The HPC adjourned the November matter for a further hearing, which the county snubbed. The Planning Board, with chair Ron Scott Bey being the only objector, approved the capital plan review with several stipulations. The Planning Board's attorney at the time, Michelle Donato, sternly advised the county officials that because the park is on several landmark registries a "certificate of appropriateness" would be needed to begin work. At a minimum, the County would have to go before the NJ Historic Sites Council, which the county eventually did.
According to Michelson, the state body came down hard on the county proposal and, in a 7-page ruling, objected to several points in the plan -- including the night lighting.
Michelson said he shared that ruling with HPC members and Planning Board chair Ron Scott Bey, but acknowledged that a copy had not been forwarded to Corporation Counsel David Minchello.
For his part, Zuber said that the County had made concessions on several points of objection by the HPC and stipulations of the Planning Board -- "about 80 percent", he said.
In the event, the ruling does not become final and binding until signed off on by the DEP commissioner, and no one knows when that will happen.
The council's deliberations opened up several avenues of approach: adopt the resolution as is; delay consideration to give the Council more time to understand the issues involved; and amending the resolution by cutting out the overblown "whereas" clauses that reflected the county's initial proposal (which somehow had been modified to include mention of "lacrosse' play on the new fields).
Council President Storch started to propose an amendment to excise portions of the resolution. However, the group sensibly decided to go into a recess to come up with the necessary language.
Upon their return after a few minutes, Storch clearly outlined his proposal to drop all the inner clauses o the resolution and simply state the Council's support, substituting " subject to any ruling of local and/or state entities that have jurisdiction" for the word "unequivocally".
After being cued by Corporation Counsel Minchello that he had overlooked allowing public comment on the resolution, Storch opened the floor. Several people spoke both in support of and against the resolution. When all had been heard, Storch moved the the vote.
Storch's proposed amendment to the resolution was defeated, 5-2, with only he and Councilor Taylor in favor.
Councilor Taylor then moved to table the resolution to the September meeting. That too was defeated, again 5-2, with Councilors Brown, Goode, Rivers, Toliver and Williams against.
Councilor Rivers then moved the resolution "as is", and it was carried by the same 5-2 majority.
Left up in the air was the question of whether, in fact, the County has -- or will have -- the necessary "certificate of approval" to move forward.
The Council's letter of support will presumably be filed with the bond paperwork which will cover the project. (I haven't had a chance to check the details, but it seems likely the Cedar Brook Park project is already included in the $58M general improvement bond issue the Freeholders are scheduled to take up this Thursday evening -- hence the rush for the resolution of support.

AIRPORT NEWS: A series of talks have allowed the Massachusetts Port Authority, the City of Worcester and the National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) Local 495 to come to an agreement over employees at the Worcester Regional Airport heralded by all three parties as "unprecedented." Starting in fiscal year 2012 (July 1, 2011) all employees currently working at Worcester Regional Airport will transfer over from city employees to MassPort employees. Future hires will fall under MassPort employment as well. This means that the 18 current City of Worcester employees working at the airport will move off of city health insurance and into MassPort's – most likely the Group Insurance Commission. MassPort now has hiring power at the airport, but the NAGE agreement means MassPort will hire locally and allow airport employees to unionize under Local 495, rather than any of the unions out at Logan. Sean Maher, head of the local, said the jobs were coveted by Boston employees and contractors, yet he thinks MassPort "is going to make an investment here." "This is a new venture, going into an airport that's not Logan," says director of the Worcester Regional Airport Andy Davis, who called the agreement a move to "keep the employees whole and keep them local." City retirees who worked at the airport will remain under the same insurance they retired with, with those costs covered by MassPort as part of the airport deal between the agency and the city last June.
MAYORAL ENDORSEMENT: With a number of candidates running for the Democratic nomination to run against Sen. Scott Brown in 2012, a contingent of eight Massachusetts mayors, including Fitchburg's Lisa Wong and Worcester's Joe O'Brien have taken sides relatively early in campaign season, contributing to a supportive statement on Newton Mayor Setti Warren's campaign site. It was no matter to O'Brien that the primary is still more than a year away: "The short answer is that he has a strong record of experience on local and federal levels and been in leadership positions," he emailed. "He is also a veteran who has served in Iraq and as a mayor understands the needs of cities like ours. He will be a strong candidate with national appeal, and I believe he can beat Scott brown."
NO APOLOGIES: Bill Higgins, the Northboro Republican who challenged Sen. Harriette Chandler for her senate seat last fall with some doozies of campaign ads has sort of, kind of, apologized for their content. In a statement that came out of an agreement for both sides to drop post-election litigation, Higgins wrote, "I have become aware of documents and other information that were not available to me at the time of the campaign. It appears … that some of the allegations that I made were not true." In a statement from Chandler, she wrote, "It is sad that it took a court action to get to the truth but it was necessary. Because, if candidates are allowed to libel and slander their opponents without consequence, good and decent people will not run for office." Higgins also had a campaign-season habit of sending angry and abusive emails to journalists (and cc'ing their peers) who he felt slighted him or defended Chandler in their stories. Any chance they'll be one last email blast apologizing for those? We don't have all the documents or information to guess yes or no.
SCOLDED: Twenty-six-year Massachusetts House veteran John Binienda appeared at Tuesday night's city council meeting, but he didn't have warm words for the chamber. Addressing the council, the administration and Clark University regarding the proposed taking of Downing Street by the school to make a pedestrian-only plaza, Binienda noted that he grew up in that neighborhood, and if you were to stand in the middle of Clark's gym you'd be somewhere in his former living room. "I have always been treated with respect on every matter that has come before my district … unfortunately with this event, I wasn't granted any respect," he complained, noting that he heard about the proposal from residents rather than the city or school. "I do not want to see Downing St. shut off," he said, pointedly…Ceding the street to Clark once seemed like a done deal, but neighborhood opposition has stiffened, leaving the council to recommit reports to committee and holding off until September for a traffic study. It looks like it won't be until October at the earliest before the council takes up the issue again.

Having to live with dry air in the home can be uncomfortable for the whole family. It tends to result in nosebleeds and scratchy throats, and encourages nasal congestion too. It can also damage your wood furniture and flooring by drying it out quickly, which leads to cracks.
The best way to manage the air quality in your home is to use a whole-house humidifier. These humidifiers work by adding moisture into the air, providing instant relief for your furniture and your symptoms. There are two types of whole house humidifiers- one that can be installed as a permanent fixture on your furnace, and a portable one.
You'll want to take the time to compare your options before deciding which one is the best deal for you. The following considerations will make your comparison shopping easy and effective:
Home Size is Important
Factor in your home's square footage so you can determine what size humidifier you'll need. Each humidifier is rated to work within specific square footage amounts so you can easily figure out which will work for homes of your size.
Maintenance Counts
Stand-alone humidifiers tend to require more maintenance than permanent options, because they have to continuously be refilled with water. However, they are usually easier and less expensive to repair.
Permanent humidifiers installed on your furnace take up a lot of resources that stand-alone options don't. You'll have to decide which maintenance requirements you are most willing and capable to commit to on a long term basis.
Automatic or Manual?
Make sure that you are clear about whether or not each whole-house humidifier you consider purchasing offers automatic or manual controls. Automatic machines allow you to set the humidity level once, and then turn themselves off and back on again as needed. Manual options need to be monitored and switched on and off by hand when humidity levels starts to rise or fall.
For more great advice about whole home humidifiers, contact us so we can walk you through the process of choosing your new unit. We proudly serve the Monmouth County and surrounding areas.
Our goal is to help educate our customers in Monmouth County, New Jersey and surrounding areas about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems). For more information about whole-house humidifiers and other HVAC topics, download our free Home Comfort Resource guide.

Single Issue Review: Sad Sack #154
Sad Sack was a long-running comic character. Originally a cartoon strip put together during World War II by George Baker for an army weekly, the series was popular enough to get its own comic book starting in 1949. It lasted through to the 1990s.
The Sack (as he was referred to) was an unlikely candidate for stardom. He was a lowly private in the army who had zero success at anything he did. Almost every story ended with Sad Sack getting the short end of the stick.
And yet kids of all ages loved the comic. During the 1950s and 1960s the series kept expanding, adding titles like Sad Sack and the Sarge (155 issues), Sad Sack's Funny Friends (75 issues), Sad Sack Laugh Special (93 issues), Sad Sack Army Life Parade (61 issues). There was even a Little Sad Sack (19 issues). Indeed, it is obvious that Sad Sack was Harvey's biggest hit before Richie Rich.
Why the appeal? Well, for starters, army life was a rich source of comic material, as other cartoonists like Bill Mauldin and Mort Walker had already discovered. Sad Sack had a rich supporting cast, including the Sarge, General Rockjaw, Sadie Sack and Muttsy. And third, reading Sad Sack didn't require much reading.
Here's the opening gag:
Although it says "The End" in the final panel, the story actually continues. Sad Sack has trouble controlling his jet pack when he gets out to fix the flying saucer and flies straight into the hands of alien robots, who clone him many times over. Meanwhile, thinking that the Sack is dead, the Captain wishes:
Well, before you know it, the base is overrun with Sad Sacks working for the aliens. And unlike the original, some of them are quite intelligent and start rising through the ranks. And not just in the army:
Meanwhile, the Sarge has discovered the alien robots and is trying to figure out which is the real Sad Sack:
Clever little gag there. When the Sarge and Sack get back to Earth, they discover that the fake Sacks can't take a punch to the stomach, so the men go around punching every Sad Sack they see, much to the annoyance and pain of the real one.
The story continues with one of the alien robots coming to Earth and having Sad Sack show him around. The story turns into a series of gags on how crowded and polluted everything is, including this scene at a nightclub:
And in the end, the aliens decide not to invade Earth because it's so undesirable.
In the final story, after digging a ditch, Sad Sack is sent to the dry cleaners to pick up Colonel Bagby's suit. There's a tiny tear in the coat, so the tailor has Sad Sack wear it while he sews. But an air raid alert causes him to run outside, where everybody's asking him for orders. Sack says, "Aw, shoot!" and the soldiers treat this as an order. The colonel becomes a hero for brilliantly anticipating the surprise attack, and of course, the Sack goes back to digging ditches.
Comments: The Sad Sack stories are light and pleasant reading. The artwork is simplistic, but consistent.

Howto: Applying Custom Behaviors in WCF
This is more or less a note-to-self because every time I need to write a custom behavior I have to lookup the way to do it. This post should assist me in the future.
A custom behavior is often used to add functionality to the service that basically is not part of the functionality of the service itself like parameter validation. If you put the validation behavior into a separate assembly you can adjust the validation without affecting (and having to re-test) the service. Most of the time writing a custom behavior is not that difficult, it is the configuration that causes trouble. One little mistake and the service refuses to start.
I'm not going to start with explaining what custom behaviors are, because that is described in this excellent MSDN magazine article from 2007 that still applies to WCF 4. If you're not familiar with this article, I would strongly advise you to read it.
In my sample project I created a sample WCF service on which I want to apply a custom input validation behavior that validates the input based on a regular expression. This regular expression should be adjustable in the web.config of the service.
Behaviors can be applied using attributes in code or via the web.config. Depending on your requirements you need to implement some interfaces. Because I want my behavior to be configurable, I need to implement these interfaces:
- IEndpointBehavior
- this determines the scope of the behavior. Options are IServiceBehavior, IContractBehavior and IOperationBehavior
- IParameterInspector
- this determines where the behavior intercepts the call.
- BehaviorExtensionElement
- this allows a custom configuration element in the web.config
How the IEndpoint behavior and IParameterInspector work or have to be implemented can be found in many blog posts so it will be briefly discussed here. I would like to focus on the way to get configuration from the web.config.
To get information from the web.config into your application or service, there are two options:
- AppSettings section
- Attribute field on the behavior configuration
Because the setting is behavior specific, I'm in favor of the second option. In this way it is clear that the setting has something to do with the behavior. In the end this would result in such a configuration record.
This is implemented using the code of the class overriding BehaviorExtensionElement. In this class you define the attributes that will be part of the configuration.
Here I declared a 'ConfigurationProperty' with the name you find in the web.config and I specified that this setting is a string value and is required. If necessary it is also possible to add the 'default' element to the 'ConfigurationProperty' attribute to set a default value.
Next this value must be stored in the behavior somewhere, to be used later on in the parameter inspector. Remember that the configuration is read during launch of the WCF service, even without having received one client call!
The value is stored the IEndpoint behavior implementation and then passed to the ParameterInspector. In the picture above this is done in the 'CreateBehavior' method. The code below shows the Behavior where also the check is done if the configuration setting is actually there.
If no configuration setting is found, running this service would throw an error on start because the attribute is marked as 'required'. If the value is empty, then the custom exception is thrown:
Also in the IEndpointBehavior picture you can see that the behavior is only a service side (ApplyDispatchBehavior) behavior and is not applied to the client side (ApplyClientBehavior). These methods are used to inject the behavior in the stack.
Finally we end up in the parameter inspector, where the configuration setting actually is used. The configuration value is passed via the constructor and stored there in a private variable.
With all elements in place it is time to finish the configuration. The section below is located in the 'system.serviceModel' section.
Important things to remember:
- The name of the extension = name of the behavior! So the 'InputValidator' extension is added, and that is the tag name of the behavior.
- The behavior tag is sometimes not recognized by the Visual Studio editor. It is complaining that the behavior has an invalid (=InputValidator) child element and that only some elements are allowed. Ignore this message!
- Make sure the assembly type of the extension overrides 'BehaviorExtensionElement'.
- If you normally use the SvcConfigEditor tool to edit the web.config regarding WCF configuration, then you might run into issues. The tool at first cannot find the behavior and once you point it to it the tool refuses to accept it. Or at least that is what I experience.
Finally it is time to test the behavior. In the sample project there is a 'Host' project. Build the solution and run 'Host.exe' as administrator.
Next there is a 'TestAppSampleService' which will call the service with a valid and an invalid value. You can step through the client to find out what happens. Also the output is written to the console, which can be picked up by DebugView. This results in these test results:
The sample project can be found here.
