TEMS Offers Minimally Invasive Option for Rectal Cancer
URMC's division of Colorectal Surgery has expanded its treatments by offering Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEMS), a minimally invasive technique for the removal of rectal tumors.
TEMS enables a specially trained surgeon to remove benign polyps or cancerous growths from the rectum without removing the rectum and without an abdominal incision. TEMS instruments are designed so that the procedure can be performed through the anus and in the rectum. They allow for better exposure, magnified stereoscopic view, and greater reach into the middle and upper rectum. As a result, TEMS has a low complication rate for patients with early rectal cancer.
More than 40,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with rectal cancer each year; most of those cancers are adenocarcinomas. Despite recent advances in chemo-radiotherapy, surgery still plays an important role in the curative treatment for rectal cancers.
The choice of surgical intervention depends on the location of the tumor, depth of rectal wall invasion, as well as clinical stage of the disease. Treatments have included radical resection such as low anterior resection, extended low anterior resection with colo-anal anastomosis, abdomino-perineal resection (APR), as well as pelvic exenteration. All are invasive procedures, with long periods of recovery for patients and many require formation of a stoma, either permanent or temporary.
TEMS was introduced in Rochester by John R. T. Monson, M.D., chief of the Division of Colorectal Surgery and vice chair of the Department of Surgery.
A pioneer in minimally invasive colorectal surgery, Monson began training in TEMS in 1993 while at the University of Hull, under the tutelage of Gerhardt Buess who developed the technique. Monson was drawn to learning the technique due to his great interest in technology and rectal surgery, and the desire to offer the best possible option for his patients.
"I like technology, and my main interest is in rectal cancer," Monson said. "It was clear to me that this was able to do things in the best interests of patients."
While other endoscopic procedures and instruments can be used to reach target organs, TEMS offers vastly superior capabilities.
"What TEMS is able to do with its specialized instruments is to facilitate a meticulous, precise excision of a tumor from the bowel wall, and then provide the ability to stitch up the defect like traditional surgery.
"Traditional, flexible endoscopy can reach quite far distances, but when it gets to its targeted area it is limited in what it is able to do. In essence, all you can do is snare a polyp and slice it off, and it is very much limited by the size of the lesion."
During the TEMS procedure, an operating proctoscope is placed through the anus and positioned over the lesion. The rectum is filled with carbon dioxide gas so there is room to work. A special microscope is used to look at the area, directly and with a video camera. Long instruments are then used to grasp, cut, and suture.
Because it is less invasive than traditional procedures for removing benign polyps or cancerous rectal tumors, TEMS reduces complications and side effects associated with taking out the entire rectum. Because the procedure is performed entirely through the anus, no abdominal incision is made which means minimal pain and faster recovery time. Most patients are discharged the day after surgery, as opposed to an average of five to seven days after a more invasive radical excision. Patients are able to return to normal activities much more quickly – usually one to two weeks after surgery versus up to six weeks after abdominal surgery. The risk of complications, such as infection and hernias, is also much lower with TEMS than with abdominal surgery.
Patients who are ideal for TEMS are virtually assured of avoiding a colostomy, a common fear among those diagnosed with rectal cancer. In the U.S., 40 percent of patients treated for rectal cancer require a colostomy.
"Using TEMS, the paradigm is shifting such that many patients who may have previously undergone a more invasive procedure can now have a tumor removed without the possibility of a resulting stoma," Monson said.
The only potential drawback to TEMS is its limited reach.
"We are limited in accessibility because the instrument can only reach 25 centimeters in length, but it has replaced the traditional transanal resection technique, which is inferior in quality and outcome," Monson said.
TEMS may be recommended for patients with polyps that are too large to be removed with a colonoscope and for small cancers that have not yet invaded into the muscle layer of the bowel wall. Lesions up to 15 to 20 centimeters above the anal opening may often be removed with this method.
URMC colorectal surgeons Christina Cellini, M.D., and Todd Francone, M.D., are also experienced in TEMS. Francone came to Rochester from the Lahy Clinic in Boston; Cellini came from Washington University in St. Louis, following training under Steven Hunt, M.D., who was trained by Monson.
Case experience is crucial to the quality of care provided by the relatively few U.S. centers that offer TEMS. Monson, Cellini and Francone perform three to four TEMS cases each month, more than 50 percent for patients who travel to Rochester from other areas, Monson estimated.
"Treatment of rectal cancer in 2011 is rapidly changing and those patients are best served in a center that specializes in the latest techniques – both surgical and no-surgical," he said.Learn more about URMC's Division of Colorectal Surgery, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sea Urchin – am i missing out?
- Recyclor Jun 4, 2008 01:09 PM
Hi chowers, i have only tried this once, at Sushi 930, figuring the quality of his other fish was high so this might be a good idea. All I know is some people love it and others hate it just as much, my impression was near gagging, was very musty tasting and stuck with me for days, the texture wasn't an issue though it was served on rice, what I'm wondering is if I got not so good or even bad Uni, and if so, where i can try a good one. I often see it included on tasting menu's and I don't want to fear it showing up on my plate if I just had bad luck with it so far...thanks in advance...
I'm definitely in the "love it" camp. The first time I had uni it was very fresh, actually the chef basically cracked the shell and served it to us. That was the ultimate in creamy, briny melt in your mouth flavour.
Edit: That said I remember a lot of people at this dinner didn't like it. I also have a vague recollection of scavenging it off my dining companions plates. Chowhounds have no shame....
I have never again had it that good but it absolutely not taste musty and I suspect the stuff you had was past it's prime. I've a good uni at Japango and Nami.
I love uni! though admittedly i was hesitant to try it because of the texture, the taste was incredible. creamy, slightly sweet even...mmmm. I'd definitely give it another try, as Mila suggests, Japango and Nami should be trustworthy, there's other places, but unfortunately I can't think of any at the moment (it's not something I eat that often, I like to make it a special occasion item)
re: graydyn
Yes, "musty" is not an adjective I would apply to FRESH uni! If you like other roes and don't find them icky, you should have no problem with uni.
A responsible sushi chef should alert you if the uni is not absolutely fresh. Not so responsible ones should tell the truth when asked. Bad ones wouldn't know themselves!
We had some gorgeous, fresh uni at Starfish... served still in its shell (although I'm not sure this is a regular offering).
Personally, I don't care for the stuff but will try it every couple of years. Mr. Rab, on the other hand, loves sea urchin and eats it for breakfast when we're in Japan (ew).
re: Rabbit
I'd eat it for breakfast twice weekly too if I could. But in my experience it is a love it or hate it kind of food. "Do you like uni" was a regular question from junior high students when I was teaching English in Japan years ago. Apparently the love it/hate it thing extends to denizens of the Land of Sushi as well (even when it's half price :))
Aaaah the cream puff of sushi. Highly recommended for the sensous experience. No, it should never be musty. I've had good versions at Take Sushi, Daio, and Kumai. Omi never served it. Zen doesn't seem to include it in their omakase although that may just be luck of the draw.
I haven't had sea urchin at a Japanese/sushi restaurant, but the one time I had it at Jean George (in NY), HOLY MOTHER it was AMAZING. I love, love, love how creamy and rich it is. He served it on pumpernickel "melba toast" with the sea urchin glazed with yuzu and a jalapeno slice. So good. I would def say give it another try.
Whether or not I like the uni has almost become my personal test of a Japanese restaurant. Although even though I've had bad ones, I haven't had one that stuck with me for days...perhaps next time come home and gargle some mouthwash...? A really good uni that comes to mind was served at Hiro - it was practically sweet!
re: gijoeanne
The place to buy Japanese style seafood and especially uni is TARO FISH at J-Town Market, Steeles east of Woodbine. Many Japanese restaurants, if they are worth their salt, order their fish from this place. I've lived 4 years in Japan, travelled and eaten extensively AND scuba dived to retrieve fresh uni which I prepared myself. Uni is an acquired taste and not everyone likes it. The most decadent dish I've had was at a Japanese-French wedding party in Tokyo where the caterer made lobster medaillons with a uni cream sauce. 14 years later, I'm still thinking of it...
re: KevinB
What dishes did your Chinese mother-in-law prepare ? You know, sea urchin is never a popular ingradient with Chinese food, except fisherman knows how to enjoy it with a few good dishes.
Aoyama, Cafe Michi, Japango.... Just ask the Japanese restaurant to see if they have good fresh sea urchin before ordering.
The worst fresh sea urchin I had is at Nice. Basically, sea urchin is not that great in France. Had some bad fresh sea urchin at Starfish, probably because it was September, not a good month for Sea Urchin. Different season eat different kinds of Sea Urchin, just like Lychee. Best one I had of course at Japan and cheap too !
I've tried it about 4 times, I love it at times and don't so much other times. I've never had it on the shell, I've only had it on sushi and sometimes it doesn't seem so fresh but I've never been near gagging.
The first time I had uni I hated it. I didn't eat it again for years. Finally, I was talked into trying it again, and was served it by an itame I trusted.
Big mistake. It's amazing, but so expensive. It is obvious the first piece was bad. My wallet cringes each and every time I know they have it...
Thanks for all the input! I will try it again, and from some of the descriptions I'm really looking forward to it....
Needs to be fresh like right out of the shell (?) Is it a shell? I dunno, other than I love it and could eat it all day if it's fresh. The worst is when you try to introduce it to someone and you get less than fress uni...that ticks me off! Anyways, raw is best, but when it's cooked right, it can be amazing as well.
best place hands down that i've had uni was at kaji.
every other place pales in comparison, including many of my japan dining experiences (mind you we were a bit conservative on the dough we were willing to dish out).
it's creamy, delicate, a little pungent in a way but also quite sweet (almost fruity in some ways). the not so best ones always had a little extra tang of ammonia and also similar to a soft creamy cheese that's just reaching overripeness (i get this flavour everytime i eat st andre on the finish).
uni is a flavour that follows me for days, good or bad. it's just so unique. there is a possibility that you may just not like it, but for the record, i haven't had good uni from sushi 930 so far after two attempts.
re: pinstripeprincess
Nice. My best was an omakase lunch at Shiro in Vancouver. I never order uni, cuz when it's wrong it is so very wrong. But once I get into an omakase at a sushi bar, if I feel I can trust the chef I'll ask about the uni.
re: childofthestorm
Uni is not in season. It is in season in winter.
re: katana750
Yes, for North America sea urchin, but not for Japanese sea urchin.
re: skylineR33
which restaurants have Japanese Uni?
re: katana750
Hashimoto. North purple uni, bafun uni, etc ... depends on season if they have it on their kaiseki. Summer is a good season for Japanese uni or uni you find in Asia.
re: Chinon00
Uni is an exquisite example of just how delicate the Japanese palete is. Close your eyes and take your time with it.
I'm probably spoiled now, but the first time I had uni was at Sushi Kaji and it was stupendously amazing. Creamy and very, very rich tasting. I don't know what bad uni tastes like, but my guess is that's what you had.

After reviewing the budget needs of the county's departments, the Wood County Commissioners have decided to ask the county's budget commission to forgo collecting millage for 2011 on a levy that funds the Child and Protective Services program.
Tim Brown, a county commissioner, said tax revenue projections indicate there are sufficient revenues to carry the Job and Family Services Department through 2011 without collecting the tax from property owners next year.
About $3.98 million would be generated next year by the levy.
"At a time when so many families have cut back at home, we feel that an actual tax cut will be helpful to many of our citizens," he said. "We will make the formal request of the budget commission for their consideration within the next two weeks."
Park board openings
There are two three-year openings on the board beginning Jan. 1, 2011
Letters or resumes should be sent to the judge at One Courthouse Square, Bowling Green, O. 43402.
The deadline is Nov. 24.
PIPP Plus is available for customers of Ohio's regulated electric and natural gas providers whose gross yearly household income is at or below 150 of the federal poverty guidelines. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) oversees the natural gas PIPP while the Ohio Department of Development administers the electric PIPP program and provides administrative support for gas PIPP Plus including enrollment and income re-verification services.
The program allows eligible customers to make affordable payments toward their utility bills while reducing old debt by making timely monthly payments. Customers must verify their income with their local community action agency annually, as well as agree to participate in energy efficiency programs. Customers enrolled in the current PIPP program will automatically be enrolled in PIPP Plus.
Natural gas and electric customers will each pay $10 or six percent of their gross monthly household income each month, whichever is greater. Customers with all-electric homes will pay $10 or 10 percent of their gross monthly household income.
When PIPP Plus payments are made on-time and in-full, the remainder of that months bill is waived, and customers will also receive a 1/24 credit toward any old debt. If a customer makes 24 consecutive payments, all of the arrearages will be eliminated.
Customers who fail to re-verify their income every 12 months risk being removed from the program. Customers who are no longer eligible for PIPP Plus will be placed into a "graduate" program, which allows the customer to pay off any debt over 12 months. PIPP Plus customers must re-verify their income every 12 months to continue to participate in the program.

November 29, 2014
Testimony has begun in the manslaughter trial of former York, Ala., police chief, David Rowry. Rowry is charged with the shooting death of Joe Bell, inside Church's Chicken in York, Ala., in September 2008.
A defense request for a change of venue was denied.
The prosecution began presenting its case Tuesday by calling a string of witnesses who were inside the restaurant when the shooting happened.
Kenneth Reynolds said he was sitting behind Joe Bell eating, when Bell and then-chief David Rowry got into a confrontation.
'The confrontation got a little loud and heated, then the chief pulled his gun and then Mr. Bell reached for the gun," Reynolds testified.
"So, he walked all the way up to Joe Bell and put the barrel of the gun to his chest?," asked district attorney, Greg Griggers.
"No, Joe Bell walked to here," said Reynolds.
Reynolds was cross examined by Rowry's attorney, Belinda Weldon. She questioned him about how well he could see what happened.
"So, is it fair to say that part of this you couldn't see?" asked Weldon.
"Yes and no," said Reynolds.
"So, you really couldn't see everything that's happening, but you saw overall the whole bodies," asked Weldon.
"Yes," said Reynolds.
Others who were working or eating inside the restaurant at the time of the incident also took the stand in the first day of testimony.
The prosecution says it's planning to call about a dozen witnesses to testify. The defense plans to call three to four people as witnesses, including Rowry.
The trial is likely to continue for two to three days.

WHOA! We're Halfway There!
Amazingly enough, tomorrow afternoon at our weekly Apprentice Meeting, we will all be recieving our Week 7 schedule. This marks the halfway point of the summer…What? What I find most, alarming (for lack of a better word) is how quickly this summer has FLOWN by. My Dad would always tell me when I was younger that life goes by fast. However, he would caution that once you started getting older, it goes by REALLY fast. Not that I ever mistrusted my Dad's advice, but I never took it seriously until recent years when I realized he was 100% correct. Life truly goes by in the blink of an eye. For many of us (or maybe just me since I just graduated college. Ahhhh) we never truly know if we are doing the right thing. Not a moral "right" thing, but I mean the "right" thing in the sense of "Am I in the right place at the right time?" or "Am I pursuing what I really want in life?" or "Am I as prepared as I possibly can be so that if the right opportunity presents itself, I know I'll be ready?" However, for once in my life, being here in Flat Rock doing these three wonderful shows this summer (The People's Poet, My Fair Lady, and Miss. Siagon) is exactly where I am supposed to be. As a first year last year, I learned so much about the business and rehearsal process, that I never really had the opportunity to sit back and "smell the roses" if you will. I wanted to get it all "right" because I felt like I had so much to learn. But, this year I find myself way more grounded and open to every opportunity. Much more capable of jumping into every situation unafraid and able to say yes at whatever is thrown my way. Flat Rock has proved to be the perfect transition place for me. I can assemble my life together before I have to make some "bigger" decisions about my future…SUCH AS WHERE I WANT TO MOVE. (cue: tears) But that's why Flat Rock is so special to me and to everyone that has ever worked here. It's a place filled with people who care about your future just as much as you do. It's a place where not only do you get the opportunity to do what you love, but where you also get to expand and grow in ways and talents that you never thought possible. The moral of this blog post: Life goes by fast and it doesn't slow down for anyone. So, fill your life and your days with people who care about your happiness, future, and overall well-being just as much as you do. Thank you, Flat Rock for being exactly that!!!!
LOVE- Sara Spadacene

This week, I am 13.
I am 13 because that is the age my therapist ordered me to be.
Remember 13? When crushes felt like they were literally squeezing your insides. When the first touch of skin on skin — even holding hands — sent electric chills through your body. When a good makeout sesh was the height of sexual excitement.
At 13, there was possibility.
When I was 13, that's when all those good things stopped, and shame entered the equation.
When I was 13, I had my first trauma. After that, everything got messy.
My therapist was intrigued but not surprised when I told her that when I cheated, I set a firm line with my co-conspirators that mirrors exactly the first sexual boundary of mine that was ever crossed: My pants stay on, and your hands stay out of them.
The kissing, the hand-holding, the sexting, the feeling up — all these things are cheating. As my therapist said, "The affair started before you even touched." But I have always been able to commit these acts with relatively little remorse. It is only when I violate my own rule (or have it broken for me) that the guilt kicks in.
That invisible boundary exists even in my incredibly loving and stable relationship. I'm generally happy as a clam (pun intended) to round bases 1 and 2, but anything beyond that, and I have to work really hard (pun also intended) to stay present, and even harder to, ahem, get there.
It's been 13 years since that night at my friend's house, but the results are often still the same: An arbitrary line of sexual conduct is crossed, and I freeze up.
Apparently, I'm still 13. Sexually.
Because that's when I last felt 100% safe and 100% excited about sex. The last time I still had 100% ownership of my own body.
And so I seek out that 13-year-old feeling of novelty. I go for the forbidden to give me butterflies in my stomach. In short, THIS is why I cheat. At least in part.
Another part? My brain is trying to heal that original trauma. At least, according to my therapist.
There is a psychological term for this, called reenactment. (Also repetition compulsion). It is very common among survivors of trauma, whatever that trauma was. Essentially, people place themselves — consciously or unconsciously — in situations similar to those in which the trauma occurred, sometimes many times, in the (typically subconscious) hopes of being able to "resolve" that incident: In other words, to get a different outcome, one in which they are in control and the trauma does not happen.
So this, too, is why I cheat.
Whenever I would get myself into a situation where there was potential to stray, I would tell myself, 'This time will be different. This time, I'll just not do it.'
I would set benchmarks of behavior for myself, as described above.
"This time, we'll only hug."
"This time, we'll only kiss on the lips."
"This time, we'll only make out."
But every time, I would go past that. Every time.
At the very moment that self-imposed rule was flouted, the emotional effect is immediate and very, very familiar. Excitement turns to remorse, sexiness to shame, confidence to disgust.
Just like when I was 13.
I would say that my therapist has taxed me with reliving this trauma, but the truth is, I have relived it a million times. I have been living it, folding the shame associated with abuse into the whole of my sexuality.
So the only difference in reliving it now is that I have a trained professional and a loving boyfriend at my side to help me: She makes sure I don't freak out during therapy, and he makes sexy time fun by respecting me when I say no, reminding me that I'm safe and loved, and by generally being up (or down) for anything I need. Which this week means pretending we're 13 again.
Remember 13? When crushes felt like they were literally squeezing your insides. When the first touch of skin on skin — even holding hands — sent electric chills through your body. When a good makeout sesh was the height of sexual excitement. When the threat (or promise) of sex wasn't a dark cloud of expectation hanging over your heads, but an exotic location to be visited someday.
13? It's looking better all the time.

Neighborhood Revitalization
Focus on the 13th Street Corridor
Since purchasing 2.3 acres of assorted properties on Fort Lauderdale's Northeast 13th Street in 2006, and relocating our offices to the area in 2007, H.O.M.E.S. has made a commitment to be involved in the area and its revitalization.
In summer 2008, H.O.M.E.S. hosted a community charette of area stakeholders – working with FAU's Center for Urban Redevelopment – to determine what businesses and residents liked and disliked about the area. This feedback was used to envision community revision.
The 13th Street Alliance (chaired by the H.O.M.E.S., Inc.'s CEO, Katharine Barry) was formed – bringing local businesses, residents, civic and homeowners associations together. Its mission; to transform and revitalize the business districts in the 13th Street Corridor.
Toward that overarching goal, the Alliance has installed donated sculptures in medians, created a successful crime watch program, funded a Pilot Business Landscape Program, persuaded businesses to paint their buildings, and hosted a street festival ("Green Dog Day Festival"). The 13th Street Alliance has obtain funds to install lighting and more landscaping in public rights-of-way along the Corridor.
Perhaps most importantly, the 13th Alliance persuaded the City of Fort Lauderdale to conduct a "Slum and Blight" Study of the area, resulting in establishment of the City's first new COMMUNITY REDEVEVELOPMENT AREA (CRA) in 20 years! With this designation, the Alliance will effect "tax increment financing", a long-term redevelopment tool for the area.
Currently, the CRA Redevelopment Plan is being formed to address transit issues and development of new businesses along the 13th Street Corridor.

There are so many Derby events going on, that it's often difficult to keep up with what's happening where.
If you're in West Louisville, or you're looking to add some diversity to your Derby celebrations, here are a couple of fun events going on west of 9th street.
Screaming Eagles Derby Drag Race & Block Party
Saturday May 5th & Sunday May 7th
This annual, family-friendly Derby celebration occurs on 28th street from Garland avenue to Greenwood avenue. The outdoor event features street vending, deep-fried food fare of all sorts, barbeque and music. Expect to see lots of motorcycles, and maybe even a race!
Also, keep in mind that this free event is a block party, and those streets will not be open for parking or driving.
Learn more about the Screaming Eagles events here: http://www.screamingeaglesmcclub.com
The Unlimited at the Nia Center
Saturday May 6th 8:00 p.m. - Midnight, and Sunday May 7th 7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.
A self proclaimed party with "entertainment for grown folks," is going down at the Nia Center, located at 30th and Broadway this weekend. The event, which is $25 dollars at the door on Saturday and $20 at the door on Sunday, will feature live music from The Unlimited and several other old-school R&B bands, Hors d'ourves and drink specials. Adults over 21 are encouraged to wear their dancing shoes and dress to impress.

Hi Tweeple,
DashTweet is a free service for Twitter users to send quick text messages, called "tweets", to license plates of cars, motorcycles, motor-homes and other vehicles.
Why license plate tweets? Because sending a regular tweet about a driver is like slamming the horn when you're already on your driveway, or putting off (friendly) hand gestures until you're at the dinner table; someone will get your message but not the person who it is meant for. A license plate tweet is delivered to the driver of a vehicle or saved for later - until the driver registers the vehicle.
Of course you should not send messages while driving! Wait 'till your vehicle has come to a complete stop. You know, those moments where you would otherwise read the morning paper, pull out your dental floss or put on your makeup.

I was born and raised in Iloilo City, Philippines. When I was about 3 years old, as she was going to work, my mother used to leave me at home with pencils and papers. Back then, i already felt really good with it. As the years were passing by, I realized that it became more than just a leisure. Drawing and Arts actually became a passion. So In high school, my parents enrolled me into art education, and i studied dance, music, theater, and creative writing. I took the visual arts as a major. Thanks to the courses I followed, I enhanced my talent and skills in arts. Then, I went to "La Consolasion college" in Bacolod and decided to take Fine Arts as a major to get a bachelor degree in Advertising Arts. I kept learning, enhancing, and exploring more knowledge and inspiration about visual and fine arts. Now, I'm specializing in Photography and Multi-media arts such as Graphic Design, Cinematography and Post Production. Aside from visual arts, I am influenced by Hip-Hop Culture. I've been practicing B-boying or Break dancing for the past 9 years, and I understand how beautiful the freedom of the arts is. Dancing is for me another way to express myself. But still…Knowledge is endless… I keep on learning day after day ; I'm earning my life with passion, and with freedom of mind My passion of Arts guides me trough life.Jul 29th, 2012

ANACOCO, La. (AP) State police are investigating a fatal shooting involving Vernon Parish sheriff's deputies.
Troopers say deputies responded to a domestic call Tuesday night in Anacoco involving 38-year-old Mark Odom Self.
When deputies arrived, Self allowed his ex-wife and 17-year-old daughter to leave the house.
Trooper say the ex-wife told deputies that Self had been drinking heavily all day and that he struck her several times before deputies arrived.
After repeated commands to exit, authorities say Self refused to comply with the commands and pointed a weapon at the deputies. Two deputies fired their weapons striking him.
Self was pronounced dead on the scene.

Beth is procurement consultant and attending school part-time. Tom works as a sales operation consultant for network & technology companies. Tom and I are parents of 4 children. Megan is married to Mike and they live north on 495. She a teacher, he's a CPA. As of last fall the three boys will be attending Manhattan College in the Bronx. My youngest is Patrick (18), Kevin (20) and Andrew (23). Andrew will have his MBA in May 2014 and this fall hopes to attend law school. We also host two international high school boys from China during the school year.
This was Beth's family home where she grew up since about 10 years old and when her parents passed, we bought the house. The neighborhood still has many of the same families there that were there 45 years ago. The house was renovated a few years ago and we upgrade/complete different areas each year. As you will see we are both avid gardeners so we try to create a nice outside area as well as inside at our home. We love it all seasons, but we admit that we like the off season most so we rent in the summers to help defray costs. Once the kids are gone and we retire in about 10+ years if we are lucky, this will probabaly where we choose to go. It's a peaceful are but easy to get to shopping and many other amenities .

PARIS (AP) - Lance Armstrong faces the prospect of losing his Legion of Honor medal after French officials said they will open an inquiry following his admission that he doped during his Tour de France wins.
Armstrong was awarded the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur in 2005 in recognition of his seven consecutive Tour victories. The American admitted to doping during all of those wins and has been stripped of the titles.
Armstrong always denied using drugs throughout his career but owned up to doping in a television interview with Oprah Winfrey in January.
Francois Sourd, top aide to the head of the Legion of Honor, told The Associated Press by telephone on Monday that "an inquiry will be opened." The investigation is expected to last several weeks.

Victoria Beckham a.k.a. Victoria Adams has expressed no desire to reunite again with her mates from Spice Girls. The popular five-piece last performed together during the opening ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Beckham, who covers the February edition of Spain's Vanity Fair, says that she's honored to sing at the big event but she "won't ever do it again" in the future. "Doing the Olympics was an incredible honor. I was so proud to do it, proud to be British," she says.
"That was a perfect time to say, 'That's great. Thank you to everybody, but no more.' Sometimes you've got to know when it's time to leave the party," she adds.
Spice Girls, whose members also include Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown and Melanie C, split in early 2000s. Beckham is now a fashion designer and has four children with her husband, David Beckham.
However, Beckham thinks her former bandmates contribute to her present success, saying, "The Spice Girls were successful because we celebrated women. That's why I do what I want today."

I am not entirely sure this is an appropriate post but one that needs expressing for myself and others that I know. I grew up a child in the 50's and 60's and discipline and the rod were not spare. (This however is not entirely bad.) I was a strong willed child and very intelligent.
My dad was a weekend alcoholic and the product of strong discipline too. He was abusive physically and mentally with words. I turned to food for comfort as my sister was 7 years younger and no one to talk too. My mother was verbally abused and terrorized by him.
In school I was rejected, because too tall, bigger than most girls and I lived on the wrong side of town. I was placed in classrooms with the wealthier kids due to my intelligence. I was left out a lot. I went home to my comfort food. I used to pop, pop corn in grocery bags full to be consumed. I learned to cook at age 8. I learned to cook my favorite comfort food. At age 11, the whole house chores, babysitting and cooking became my job.
I made great grades and graduated with a 96.5 overall grade; I was rejected from the National Honor Society. Another put down, and like an alcoholic I went to food for comfort.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer in January. He died in July of the same year. I was beaten until I cried and then until I stopped. The reason for the beatings, I did not do something the way he would have done it or my younger sister had done something and I was supposed to be watching her.
The anger, rage, rejection that I felt followed me for years. It affected my job performance and chance for advancement. It produced a very negative response to people and events. It prevented me from standing up for what I knew was right. I had problems facing authority as an adult. I always sought food for comfort.
At age 43, I sought counseling and was able to release some anger but it was not until after two failed marriages that I turned the corner for good. My first two husbands were not physically violent, they were emotionally unavailable and verbally degrading.
After my second husband left, I did a book of self analysis of my life in journal form. I was able to write my feelings about events and to propose a more positive way to approach situations. Fifteen months later I met my soul mate. He became my cheerleader in life.
The anger is gone. I am able to look at the good things my dad provided and smile. I can now face the bad without anger and with a look to the positive results. I am a survivor.
My success with weight loss has been in no short order, due to dealing with feelings.
Have you examined your feelings related to the things that you do that create bad behaviors? Getting to know yourself is penultimate to a positive progression in your life
You must know who you are, what makes you tick, etc. You are not dieting; you are on a journey and the legs of that journey must be planned.
This may be a hard blog for me to write, but a necessary one.
For many years I hid behind my self-made cloak of fat. I wore it as armor.
It protected me from attention. When thin I attracted unwanted attention.
When fat I was denied attention needed for career momentum.
Did I fear failure? Or did I fear success?
This cloak that I earned through years of dedicated devotion to solving
all my problems of love, fear of rejection, fear of acceptance for me even if thin.
This cloak provided me warmth from loneliness, but the sad part is I only felt more
alone and more isolated. This cloak prevented free and easy mobility to participate
in functions.
The development of this cloak and its weight has cause my body irreparable damage to the knees. It has destroyed my health. It has weakened my immune system. In providing me a shield from others, it has denied me the privilege of meeting and being accepted by new friends.
The cloak is old and tired now. I am readying myself for a new cloak as I face the next milestone in my life. In August I will turn 65. By age 66 I want to be a thinner and more mobile lady. I want to march forward with the rest of my life more freely.
Come walk with me.
One of the members wrote me today and asked to be friends. She made my day. The a few minutes later another did. One said I was and amazing lady.
The other:
"You are an incredible woman with strength. You devoted your life to helping the sick and infirm. You have endured one of the greatest losses known--to lose a child. My heart goes out to you. You are doing awesome in living a healthier lifestyle. Congrats on the weight loss and best wishes as you continue to develop a healthier lifestyle. God bless you."
Many times in my life as I have struggled with my clients needs as a public health nurse, finding answers to needs: on a personal level with mental and verbal abuse: at work being rejected due to perceived cultural differences, even though a college graduate, and not fitting the mold of appearance at work for job promotion: through rejection of two previous husbands: and the ultimate loss of my only child: there has always been one to provide comfort The Lord GOD has always sent angels unawares with messages. His words always provide constant comfort. His word lead my heart to healing after my son's loss.
I came to realize a few months ago through a book a friend share with me, called The Daniel Plan, that He has sent us many words and directions about diet and healthy bodies. There is much biblical reference to caring for His temple which is your body. Jesus told us that no food was unclean if we prayed over it before we consumed it. He also told us if we at someone's home not to offend them by eating something in their presence that offended them. I guess that goes both ways. I am not a vegetarian or even totally natural food eater. I do try to be aware. At age 64, with 65 catching me soon, I have found the most important thing for me to do is prepare foods properly and eat in the right portions. I have also found that tracking is the best method to keep me honest.
I pray that each of you continue to strive to your personal goal with His hand directing you and His word educating you. All things are possible to Him/Her that love the Lord.
What a wonderful expression when you have a child who loves you. Part of that means you were as good a mother as you could be. When my son got older, our relationship was such that he would still come to me with problems. I would always preference my response with who would you like to hear from first; your mother, a nurse or a friend because each of us would give you a different answer. His response- all of them mom. I lost this special young man almost 3 years ago now in a car wreck and the pain still surfaces as if yesterday. It will always I am sure especially on Mother's Day and his birthday.
This week, however, I was reminded by a spark friend from here who had the distinct pleasure of meeting in person and sharing an evening with she and her hubby when in Louisiana. We still maintain contact. She stated in a posting on FB, she got tired of people always complaining about what they don't have or bemoaning woes. She said that she now says to them, stop and give me 5. Five positives, you should be able to find 5.
1_ I got up this morning under my own power and dressed
2- I came downs stairs to an adequately filled refrigerator.
3- I was able to prepare my own meal.
4. I had electric bill paid
5- I praised the Lord for the Mother's day card that I got from a younger friend.
See how easy that is.
As a nurse 30 years of my 40 years, I was primarily dealing with needs of children. I was a case coordinator for children who had or were at risk for developmental issues. I had the privilege of holding and loving many children. I had the privilege of being a confidant and counselor to parents. I have many, many children.
I could choose to sit in a pool of grief or as I always told my son, move forward with life. Learn and grow from all the experiences as life is short and blessings are many.
If your grief, complaints, friends, etc let you down. Remember to talk with Him. Let Him help you develop a plan for living and being healthy. It is all in His word.
Be a happy Mother. Love those who come into your path for counsel. Be healthy and able because you next life lesson may be the one that you would not want to miss.
As study the Bible I learn more and more about what He wants for His body. We are the housing for His spirit. We must continually nurture our mind and body with spiritually blessed foods and information to educate our minds from the Bible and information on nutrition. Many people go down the path to failure as they do not feed their minds with proper knowledge. The other thing is they do not listen, as many do not listen to the word of the Master.
Most concern in the New Testament( the new covenant): control of our physical appetites. Those being gluttony, lust, covetousness(wanting others possessions and wealth), unrighteousness; hatred/anger, and gossip. These appetites should not control us let we become arrogant. Deuteronomy 21:20; Proverbs 23:2, 2 Peter 1:5-7; 2 Timothy 3:19; 2 Corinthians 10:5
We for our purposes will talk about gluttony. Gluttony is taking things to excess. It could be food, shows, game play, telephone use, IPod and computer dependency; need for shoes, pocketbooks, records, DVD's, etc. Anything we indulge in to excess. For the purpose of weight loss, we must focus on eating too much.
Remember: also to declare yourself proud of being overweight, and you should like me the way that I am, isn't anything but the devil securing his hold on your life.
A friend of mine who needs to lose weight and is a Christian, posted on her wall for the start of the weekend already failing in quest to lose weight, because she bought fried chicken, potato salad, and cheesecake. As with anything on our quest to eat better and to attain better health, I proposed to her to peel off skin before eating. limit potato salad to 1/2 cup. I also suggested to her to half whatever her portion of cheesecake would be and enjoy.
I know and you know that the Lord says what ever we pray over before we eat, will be safe for our bodies, even GMO, meat, organic, etc. or not.
He told us in His word that in the end of times people would tell us what was good and bad for us. As Christians in their presence we should eat what they serve and not offend them. In our homes we can eat what we want. He expects us to honor His temple our body. Being overweight and sending ourselves into a crippled, wheelchair state is not what he wishes for His children. The devil know how to temple. Do not let the devil win his battle with you by depriving yourself of things you enjoy, but exercise portion control.
Do not be angry or feel hatred at those who "can eat whatever they want and not add a pound". Do not be envious of the celebrities who look perfect. They may be photo shopped for beauty. Do not lower yourselves to gossip about the appearance of others thin or thick.
Love you brothers and sisters and pray each day for the wisdom to help them on their way to better health. Our number one goal should be to get healthy.

Furi Kuri is an odd anime.
Hyper Ferret tarafından 23 Kasım 2003, Pazar
Anime series that appears on Adult Swim in the U.S. every so often. Despite having only 6 episodes, it is very popular. Although all the guitar whacking on the head, robots emerging out of said head, and said robots fighting one another seems pointless at first,the plot reveals itself upon closer inspection. The actual plot is not to be discussed, it must be figured out. This is a series that many like, but few understand.
Did you see Furi Kuri last night? That was so weird!

17 Tiny Ways to Make Life Happier, Saner, and Sweeter
From the latest movies and books to the newest summer fashion and cool products, here are the current trends we love this month.
Revenge of the nerds
Call up your high school besties and buy tickets to this one: The new film The Perks of Being a Wallflower, adapted from Stephen Chbosky's heartwarming novel, tells the story of an awkward freshman who finds kinship in an oddball group of seniors and his beloved English teacher (Paul Rudd). It's a sweet, much-needed reminder of how life-saving good friendships can be. And how glad we are that the beautiful agony of being a teen is behind us.

Phone pic saved Gulf from weeks of oil gushing
Published: November 23,2010
Tags: BP oil spill
WASHINGTON — A single picture from a cell phone camera may have saved the Gulf of Mexico from a few more weeks – if not months – of oil gushing from the BP well.
A new study from the presidential oil spill commission describes the behind-the-scenes, excruciating tension and mistakes behind the three-month effort to cap the busted well. More than anything the report pulled back the curtain on what happened during hectic times as 172 million gallons of oil gushed into the Gulf from April 20 to July 15.
The 39-page report faulted BP and the federal government for being unprepared for a well blowout, but then lauded them for scrambling for different fixes after the disaster.
The report painted a picture of chaotic meetings described by outsiders as disorganized and by insiders as "akin to standing in a hurricane." And it criticized BP's constant underestimating of how much was spilling, dooming some fixes and possibly delaying the ultimate capping of the well.
Amid the messy meetings, came details about a lone scientist working from a cell phone photo who saved the day by convincing the government that a cap it considered removing was actually working as designed.
The cap that eventually stopped the oil from flowing was nearly pulled about a day after it was installed in mid-July because pressure readings looked so low that they indicated a leak elsewhere in the system. BP wanted the cap left in place and the well to stay shut, but government science advisers were firm and near unanimous in wanting the cap removed because of fear of a bigger, more catastrophic spill, the report said.
One scientist took a cell phone picture of pressure readings and e-mailed it to a government researcher in California for advice.
Just using that cell phone photo, Paul Hsieh, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist, created a model to explain what was happening under the cap and how – despite low pressure readings – there was no leak. He was convinced the containment cap wouldn't blow. He got more data, which bolstered his case.
Hsieh, a research hydrologist who normally works with water, labored through the night without the aid of caffeine. He stayed up all night triple checking calculations, going on adrenaline.
"I just knew a decision had to be made the next day," he said. "I had participated in the conference call. I had sensed the tension everyone had and that just kind of kept me going."
Hsieh laid out his case and it persuaded the other scientists to wait.
The government waited six hours, then a day. Nothing happened. The cap held.
Hsieh turned out to be right.
Hsieh told The Associated Press that he was "flattered that I was portrayed well," but said others including Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who headed the scientific team, deserve the credit.
