Okay confession I'm not a huge Broadway show person. But when going to New York you kind of have to go. WELL it ended up that we didn't get tickets for anything on Broadway (HA!) and we did get to go to Upright Citizens Brigade.
And one of the Sonic commercial guys was part of the performance!
We also ate cannolis from the new Cake Boss restaurant in Times Square.
I have to stop for a moment and mention there is a third one of us on this excursion. It's Ashley. She is not in these pictures because I took all of the ones I'm posting from her Facebook which were pictures that she uploaded from her phone. And yes I broke my vow of Facebook deactivation to log onto Facebook for like ten minutes to get some New York pictures BUT I DID IT FOR YOU GUYS.
I'll post more pictures as we go, promise. I'll sneak one in after a week or so and be like "REMEMBER NEW YORK?"
Anyway we also did the Harry Potter Experience. I was Sorted into Ravenclaw. Why? Glasses, probably. I should have stood up in kinetics on Monday as we were told the bad news about our exams and been like "BUT I WAS SORTED. INTO RAVENCLAW." It would have gone over really well.
BUT YES! New York was so much fun! We got to hang out with our sophomore year roommate Darcie who's also in the city! And I rode a zillion trains and saw rats. Mostly alive ones. I saw one dead one. Oh and doggies. Lots of dogs in sweaters.
We ate pizza and a hot dog from a hot dog stand. Let me just point out again that half of my city experience just reminded me of stuff I'd do in Grand Theft Auto (you have to go around looking for hot dog stands when you're low on health).
OH WE ALSO saw Jimmy Fallon's monologue rehearsal last Tuesday. He is such a doll!
I definitely have to go back because there is just so much more to see. We visited the 9/11 Memorial, which was so powerful. But I need to go back when all the museums and other parts are open.
And that's the end!

Grade Level: 6th – 8th grade
Subject Matter: Physical Science
National Standards: NS.5-8.1, NS.5-8.2
A Recipe for Slime
One lamp fixture
One incandescent light bulb - 40 watts
One compact fluorescent light bulb - 7 watts
One ultraviolet light or black light bulb - 40 watts
One infrared or red heat bulb - 40 watts. Available at pet stores.
Glow-in-the-dark stars, all in the same size – three for each student or group of students
One camera – or students may bring their own.
Phosphorescence – A phenomenon in which an object absorbs light energy and gradually releases it, even after the original light source is removed.
Visible Light – The only type of light waves that humans are capable of seeing, ranging from red to violet and including all the colors of the rainbow.
Ultraviolet (UV) Light – A type of light that is invisible to humans and is a significant component of sunlight.
Infrared (IR) Light – A type of light that can be experienced in the form of heat. Although we cannot see infrared without the use of a special filter, living and non-living things emit infrared light.
Incandescence - The emission of visible light from a hot body due to its temperature. In an incandescent light bulb, a filament, or thin wire, is heated to a temperature at which a small fraction of the radiation falls in the visible spectrum. But most of the radiation is emitted in the infrared part of the spectrum, which means that incandescent lights are relatively inefficient.
Fluorescence - The emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light of a different wavelength. In a fluorescent light bulb, electricity is used to excite a small amount of mercury vapor or gas. The excited mercury atoms produce ultraviolet light that then causes a phospher to fluorese, producing visible light. A fluorescent light bulb converts electrical power into useful light more efficiently than an incandescent bulb.
1. Begin the lesson by having students watch the Science Friday video, "A Recipe For Slime." Begin a discussion with the students on how and why some objects are able to glow in the dark. Ask students if they think that different types of light will affect how well a phosphorescent object will glow.
2. Show students four different light sources: an incandescent light bulb, a fluorescent light bulb, an infrared light bulb and an ultraviolet light bulb. Warn students not to look at the infrared or ultraviolet light bulbs once they are turned on. Review with students the differences between each type of light, and ask them which type of light they think will cause a phosphorescent object to glow the brightest. Tell students they will conduct an experiment to test their theories.
3. Hand out the bags/containers of glow-in-the-dark stars to each student or group of students, making sure that the stars remain enclosed. Tell students not to remove the stars from the closed containers/bags until it is time to conduct the experiment. Why is this important?
4. Close the curtains/shades and turn off the lights in the room. Make sure that there is enough indirect light for students to see. Have students remove one star from the container, while you shine the infrared light on the object at a distance of two inches for 20 seconds. Remind students not to look directly at the infrared light bulb once it is turned on.
5. Have students ready with a camera to take a picture of the star after the 20 seconds are up. Make sure students take a picture of the object immediately after the light is turned off at a distance of six inches and with the flash OFF. Why is it important to have the flash off?
6. Repeat the experiment three more times, using another star from the container for each light source (incandescent, fluorescent, and ultraviolet). Remind students not to look directly at the ultraviolet light bulb once it is turned on. Have students write down the order of the light sources used, so that they will be able to differentiate each picture later.
7. Depending on the type of camera, have students compare each picture by either viewing them on the camera, downloading pictures onto a computer, or developing the pictures. Which light source caused the star to glow the brightest?
8. Have students place the images in the order of brightest to least bright. Discuss with students why they think one particular light source worked better than others.
When light hits normal, everyday objects, it usually is either absorbed or immediately reflected. However, when light hits a phosphorescent object, the energy is absorbed and stored or "charged." The phosphorescent object will hold onto the energy and gradually re-emit the energy as light. (The color it glows depends on the type of material.) Because the light slowly is being released, it appears to glow even after the light source is turned off.
• Instead of testing for intensity of light emitted, how can students test the persistence of light emitted?
• Would the results be the same if a different phosphorescent material were used?
• How does this experiment relate to the electromagnetic spectrum? Are there other types of light waves that also could be tested?
• What are some practical or important uses for phosphorescent objects?
Explore fluorescence by examining classroom or household items under a black or ultraviolet light, taking care not to look directly at the light source once it is turned on. Have students conduct an investigation, based on their observations, to determine the differences between fluorescence and phosphorescence.

Glossary |
What gauge speaker wire should I use in my system? |
For the best speaker damping and least amount of power
loss you will want to use the heaviest gauge that is practical. The length of the speaker wire should be considered when considering wire gauge. The shorter the run, the smaller gauge you can use with minimum power and damping factor
loss. The longer the run, the heavier gauge you will need to minimize power and damping factor loss. You will also want to consider the size of power amplifier
you are using. The larger the amplifier, the heavier gauge you will want to use. Generally speaking, runs of 25 Ft or less work well with 14 gauge. Over 25 one should use 12 gauge if possible. These numbers are not set in stone, but generally work well. For Constant Voltage
systems such as a 70.7V or 140V systems, the voltage is high and the current
is low. Because there is not much current you can use smaller wire without much power loss. Quite often 18-gauge wire works well with these systems. To calculate power loss you can use the Line Loss Javascript Calculator on the Crown web site. You can also request a free copy of the Crown Constant Voltage Slide Rule, which is available from our literature department. To order,1-574-294-8093 or send email to: email@example.com.

Remember when Payless Shoe stores try to make BOGO a thing. It stood for "Buy One Get One." Well, that was stupid. But know what's awesome? The double elimination episode of Survivor. It was like we showed up for one and we got a bonus one just for being there. Always a rad feeling. They should make this a staple of the game, especially when we enter this especially boring section of the show's life cycle where there is one dominant alliance and you are sure that they're just going to send the stragglers from the defeated alliance home. Yawnsville. Who wants to spend a whole hour watching that? So this was smart we got see Reynold lose an immunity challenge and get booted out in 30 minutes and then we got another 30 minutes to watch Andrea get blindsided. Not only did the action never stop moving, neither did the surprises. Great job, Team Survivor. Great job.
Basically this whole thing boiled down to what happened during the first immunity challenge, where they all had to stand on the top of Snoopy's dog house which was partially submerged in water (let's hope Woodstock is okay) and whoever stayed on the longest won. Of course it was also the classic "food temptation" challenge, where Jeff offers people treats so they'll jump down. Here's how what happened in that challenged affected the rest of the game.
Reynold lost which, of course, means that he's going home. But he held on strong until the very end and almost beat Zombie Brenda and Andrea. Eddie, on the other hand, jumped off first to eat some donuts. Which I would normally call a boneheaded move but it was genius. I think it was unintended genius, because Eddie seems about as smart as Tara Reid on the sixth day of a two week bender in Cabo, but it showed that Eddie is not a threat. He is not a fighter and he'd risk going home for some sugary treats. (Man, the things I would do for donuts and I get three square meals a day). He looks like he's not playing the game. That's why they're willing to use him and keep him around while blindsiding each other. Reynold, on the other hand, is good at challenges and a schemer. That's why no one could get a blindside together when he was still in the game, because if he stayed everyone thought he would find a way to sneak into the finals. Eddie is about as threatening as a sleeping three legged chihuahua that has lost all its teeth. He's an easy toy to keep around.
Brenda and Andrea made the opposite mistake. They decided that, even though they were in an alliance, they were going to compete with each other and see who is the badder assed bitch. They're asses are so incredibly bad that they even made the challenge harder so that one of them would win. Ladies, there is no honor in being victorious over your friends. Just ask the cast of Mean Girls. This showed everyone that they're both threats physically and they're both such stern competitors that they don't trust each other to be safe when the other says they're safe. This was the beginning of the ending for them.
The other great thing about this episode was that it showed how that challenge had an affect not just on who went home that round (it was Reynold, duh) but how it affected the following vote as well. Because we see them edited down into episodes, each cycle seems like it's own unit divorced from all the rest, but for the people out there it is continuous and the events of things that happened two rounds ago definitely have an impact on the outcome. Sometimes you get dumped before the third date for something you did on the first date, not something you did on the second, know what I mean?
That's why both Andrea and Brenda were gunning for each other after their Mexican standoff. (Can I say that? Is that racist? Can I call it a Philippines standoff? That's where they are!) When neither of them had the immunity necklace and Reynold was gone, that's when it was time for the blindside. Cochran was right, it's all about timing, and he orchestrated Andrea's ouster perfectly. And it was easy to do because Andrea was running around talking to everyone about her big plans again. That coupled with her performance in the dog house challenge made her a giant target. Cochran just has to pick her off and make sure she felt safe enough that she wouldn't play her idol. Still, they split the vote just to be safe.
Andrea's problem was that she was all talk and no action. We saw this before when she wanted to get rid of Malcolm early and then backed off when she found out that they might vote for her. She was always hatching plans and thinking big, which is great, but she was far too vocal about it. Everyone knew she was playing hard and couldn't be trusted, especially because she could never make her plans come to fruition.
How this will effect the rest of the game, I don't know. I think if Eddie pulls it together at the challenges and works himself as a swing vote he could make it to the end. Cochran is in a heap of trouble because he seems to have no clear alliance other than Dawn, who is a certifiable crazy person. Zombies Eric and Sheri are totally out of the game even though they think they're in the middle of it, but Eric stands a chance if he can keep pulling out challenge wins. I'm going to go with the wacko final three of Dawn, Brenda, and Eddie. Let's see how right I am.
As for Andrea, she's going to be talking all about her blindside back at camp while running her fingers through Malcolm's silken mane and staring at Special Agent Philip Shepard's silly round spectacles, and trying not to giggle at Reynold's Snidely Whiplash mustache. Let's hope she doesn't have some sort of insane physical transformation herself.

I totally agree. I have thought the same for awhile. I think someone posted pics of her in this thread somewhere.
I would really like to see Deborah Ann Woll , Jessica from True Blood play Teela shed be perfect!
I totally agree. I have thought the same for awhile. I think someone posted pics of her in this thread somewhere.
Do you need to buy, sell or rent a home in Northern VA, then contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Yep Jessica Biel would be great
Please no wrestlers in this movie! I'm a fan of wrestling but just because they have muscles and fit in with they style of Motu, doesn't mean they can act. And only a handfull can cut a good promo.
*Two-Badd*~*Snake Armor He-Man*~*Tung Lashor*~200x Sorceresss~Calix ~*Mantenna*~*NA Skeletor*~*200x King Hisss*~*Ninjor* ~Evilseed
A wrestler like Steve Austin could make a breif appearance.
..(if I was casting this movie, which Im not, I would read Mr Austin for RamMan )
Now Guys you tell me that Deb Ann Wolf shouldnt be Teela! It has to be!
teela wolf.jpg
Excuse the crude photoshop mock up lol!
I would cast He-Man first then find out if his girlfriend can act, the actors girlfriend would fit best for Teela.
..I'm personaly sick of agency people forcing actors and actresses together to play love interests.
They are actors. It's their job to pretend they are things they aren't. IF they are unable to do this then they shouldn't be in acting.
Obey the whip!
Smile like you mean it.
True.. but doesnt Masters deserve more than just acting.
well unless they somehow go to Eternia and film the heroes and villains actually fighting over Castle Grayskull I'm afraid acting is all that is left
She as Despara
I hate these new Hollywood fools. All my favorite actors are dead or two old. If I can break the laws of space and time and sit in the director's chair for this. I'd have somebody like Caroline Munroe as Sorceress.
Wrestlers in movies stink. Unless in a small supporting role. Kane as Trap-Jaw or something would work.
They of course will not cast based upon good acting skills, but by who sells tickets.
HOWEVER....for Teela, I'd say:
I think Rachel Nichols would be an awesome Teela
has anyone brought up Kalen Lutz as He-Man? I was watching the last Twilight movie and while watching him I pictured Kalen in the He-Man role.
Ok so another very quick mock up
Id say EVA GREEN for Evillyn!
She has the experience playing witches and is dark and sexy, good actress also.
Evil-lyn copy.jpg936full-eva-green.jpg
FILMATIONPRESENTS.:*~*:Thank You, Lou Scheimer...and Good Journey:*~*:....For Every Destination is but a Doorway to Another...The Time Has Come for Crackers The Clown and Chef Allen in MOTUC!
Quantum of Solace's Olga Kurylenko looks A LOT like the original Teela figure:
There might be better actresses out there, but it will be hard to find someone that more cosely resembles Teela's original plactic version. At least in the face.

Taylor Kitche as He-Man.
James Purefoy as Skeletor.
Kevin Sorbo as King Randor.
Aaron Eckhert, or Bryan Cranston as Man At Arms.
Adam Baldwin as Beast Man.
Liam Neeson as Hordak.
Bill Nighly as King Hiss.
Karl Urban as Tri-Clops.
Derek Mears as Trap-Jaw.
Brian Steel as Spikor.
I'm thinking the Rock for Skeletor, and Mark Whalberg for He-man,
Weird I know but I might just work,
Please see my arts gallery here: www.pcpfh.wordpress.com Have fun browsing!

(I loved that story - a good reminder as a mother to not just jump in and do or fix everything for my kids. I need to remember that it's okay to tell them "no" and let them have the opportunity to learn something new as well. Because, maybe they'll grow up and write a book about it or something cool like that.)
- Playing with color and texture
- Oogling and petting pretty fabrics, only to eventually (when I get up the courage) cut it up into tiny pieces and to sew them back together again
- Not being able to finish a project with out starting two or three more
- A lot of thread on my clothing
- Other amazing quilters that have been such an inspiration to me - and those who have become real-life friends in the process.
- Really nice people that live in my house who put up with all of my piles of fabric, manic sewing binges and even the occasional pin on the floor or piece of thread in their food.

Great bracelets!
By sunshine in sidney
from Sidney, BC
I ordered both a warm and cool set of bracelets for myself and liked them so much that I've ordered several of each set since then to give as gifts. I googled Honora pearls and, after reviewing similar products on their website, I'm more than happy with the price that TSC is offering the bracelets for! Now that they're on clearance price, even better! I don't understand why the sets aren't packaged the same, but it's not a big deal. Apparently some people have been getting the wrong colour, to rectify this issue, just order both sets and you won't have to worry!

I give up!!
By Disappointed....... again and again
from Winnipeg
I have come to the conclusion that customers write these reviews merely for one another and that nobody at tsc actually reads them because after reading almost everyone who ordered a specific colour and received the wrong colour, one would think they would take note that there is a problem somewhere in the warehouse and rectify it. It seems that only the customers who were smart enough to buy one of each colour, got what they wanted, obviously. I returned my warm, which was supposed to be cool, with a promise that they would send me the correct one this time and lo and behold, I received my new package in the mail today...... yes, once again I received the warm!! So now that I have missed the birthday I ordered them for by 3 weeks, I am once again sitting with the wrong product. There should be a separate spot to rate the company and not just the product because I give the product a 4 star, but the company 1 star after the number of times they have messed up my orders. Never again!
Nice, but wrong
By Disappointed....... again
Much like Shellie in one of the other reviews, I ordered cool and received warm, so I guess I got hers and she got mine, even though my bag said cool. I have returned them and hope that for the first time, tsc keeps their promise and sends me the correct product without charging me for S & H. It remains to be seen what happens. They were pretty though and I would be happy to receive the cool bracelets I actually ordered.
Not what I ordered, but...
By Patti
from Irishtown, NB
These are really nice as a Christmas gift. Nicely packaged in the little satin purse. Though I received Cool instead of the Warm I had ordered.
Very pretty but not what I ordered
By Shellie
from Calgary
They are lovely. I tried them on and they fit nicely, not too tight.However...I ordered warm and received cool.I am keeping and will try ordering warm again. If they are incorrect, I will gift out as S/H back isn't worth it. But I won't be reordering.

Elegance and beauty and an amazing price
By Samster
from Cambridge ON
I bought three sets of each of these for gifts for friends for Christmas. They arrived today and are so beautiful, I have gone back and ordered more (including one of each for myself... Hey! Santa wants me to have some. I can feel it!)Do not hesitate to order them. They are as gorgeous as they appear!! Highly recommend them!

Great gift!
By Georges
from TORONTO
Purchased these a whole back and gave one to each of my girlfriends at a dinner party! They loved It! Look at the amazing price point also! The colours are as vibrant as what you see on the web site. Do not hesitate!
Great Deal-Hope the quality matches
By 4eversunshine
from Toronto
I purchased both the warm and cool set. As another reviewer said only the warm set came with the lovely silk pouch and boxed packaging - odd, however they are so pretty I will keep one set and give the other as a gift. I gave a 4 star rating as it is only a great deal if the quality is great. I'll give mine a good wearing before I give the other as a gift!
By LG B.C.
from B.C.
Got these for our 3 grand daughters alot of times its hard to buy for 3 teenage girls. My daughter in law wants a set of her own and was going to order a couple of sets, great quailty and price....
Pretty Pearls!
By Paula
from Nova Scotia
I bought the cool and the warm pearl bracelets and I'm very pleased with my purchase. They have a very nice shine and are a comfortable fit...A good deal at this price!

How to Setup TCP/IQ |
This example is based on a standalone system using switches and not routers. The screen captures were done in Windows 2000; your exact configuration may vary. If your computer uses a network for other applications, please check with your IT Department before making any changes. 1. Wire the system using one Category 5 cable per network node (Figure 1). Connect the cables to the network switch for the system. We highly recommend that the CobraNet be a standalone or separate-network LAN. CobraNet with redundancy requires two cables. |
2. Select Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections (Figure 2). Set a static TCP/IP address and Subnet mask on the master computer. Document the address and mask.
Figure 2. Selecting Settings > Control Panel |
2A. Right-click on LAN Connections. Then select Internal > Properties (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Result of clicking LAN Connections > Internal |
2B. Once the Properties window opens (Figure 4), click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Figure 4. Internal Properties Window |
The Internet Protocol (TCP/IQ) Properties window appears (Figure 5). Disable Virtual Private Network or other encryption settings.
See the TCP/IQ Addressing Worksheet later in this document. Open the supplied Excel worksheet called IQ Worksheet.XLS. 2C. If you need to set an IP address manually, specify an IP address. The IP address is four numbers between 1 and 255 separated by periods. For example, 18.104.22.168. Select a subnet mask. The subnet mask is four numbers between 1 and 255 separated by periods. For example, 255.255.0.0. 2D. Click OK and close the Control Panel. At this point, some computer operating systems will require a restart. |
Figure 5. Internet Protocol (TCP/IQ) Properties Window |
3. Select IQ Systems > IQwic > TCPIQ Utility (Figure 6). This launches the TCP/IQ Utility on the master computer.
Figure 6. Selecting IQ Systems > IQwic > TCPIQ Utility |
3A. The master computer should discover the TCP/IQ products (Figure 7). If not, please refer to "Common Problems" later in this document.
Figure 7. Example of Discovered Components
3B. Update firmware.
3C. Once TCP/IQ Utility has launched, select a single component and click on Set Address. In the Set Address window (Figure 8), set up a TCP/IQ address-it must be unique. Then set up the same Subnet mask for all of the components as well as the master computer. Set the IQ address, and select Send Code. 3D. Close the software. Repeat as necessary. |

Growing up in New York City in the 1950s, Ronald Mallett idolized his father, a television repair man and amateur inventor who sparked young Ron's curiosity about the world. "He was the most important thing in my life, my entire universe," Mallett recalled in a National Public Radio interview in 2007. Tragically, Mallett's father died suddenly at the age of 33 from a heart attack, devastating 10-year-old Ron. Shortly after that loss, however, a comic book adaptation of HG Wells' classic "The Time Machine" inspired Ron and set him on a life-long quest--if time travel was possible, he would build a time machine, go back in time and warn his father about his heart condition. Despite the barriers African-American students faced at the time, Mallett earned a doctorate in physics from Pennsylvania State University and became a tenured faculty member at the University of Connecticut. Over the years, while Mallett engaged in research on black holes, general relativity and other facets of theoretical physics, he continued quietly working on the concept of time travel, receiving NSF support for his work. Eventually he published a paper that built on the work of Einstein and others, and raised the possibility of using light to bend time--a process which could, theoretically at least, allow for time travel. Recently, director Spike Lee acquired the rights to produce a feature film version of Mallett's published memoir, "Time Traveler: A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality" (Basic Books, 2007), co-authored with Bruce Henderson and published around the world. While Mallett continues making contributions to physics, thanks to his father's inspiration, his own life inspires others.
love someone to debunk this...I don't even know where to start...I can't find anything wrong with his theory or math, however i'm undergrad lvl.

quote:David Ackles (February 27, 1937 – March 2, 1999) was an American singer-songwriter He recorded four albums between 1968 and 1973. Describing Ackles's style in 2003, critic Colin McElligatt wrote, "An unlikely clash of anachronistic show business and modern-day lyricism...deeply informs his recorded output. Alternately calling to mind Hoagy Carmichael, Irving Berlin, Robbie Robertson, Tim Hardin, and Scott Walker, Ackles forged an utterly unique sound out of stray parts that comprise a whole that is as uncompromising as it is unrivaled." Although he never gained wide commercial success, he influenced other artists, especially British singer-songwriters such as Elvis Costello, Elton John and Phil Collins, all of whom are self-declared fans of Ackles. After Ackles's death Costello said, "It's a mystery to me why his wonderful songs are not better known."

Brachytherapy is a procedure to implant radioactive seeds (pellets) into the prostate gland to kill prostate cancer cells. They may give off high or low amounts of radiation.
Brachytherapy takes 30 minutes or more, depending on the type of therapy you have. Before the procedure, you will be given medicine so that you do not feel pain. You may receive:
After you receive anesthesia:
Types of brachytherapy
Implant therapy - prostate cancer; Radioactive seed placement; Internal radiation therapy - prostate
Brachytherapy is often used for men with a small prostate cancer that is found early and is slow-growing. Brachytherapy has fewer complications and side effects than standard radiation therapy. You will also need fewer visits with the doctor.
Risks of any anesthesia are:
Risks of any surgery are:
Risks of this procedure are:
Tell your doctor or nurse what medicines you are taking. These include medicines, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
Before this procedure:
On the day of the procedure:
You may be sleepy and have mild pain and tenderness after the procedure.
After an outpatient procedure, you can go home as soon as the anesthesia wears off. In rare cases, you will need to spend 1 - 2 days in the hospital. If you stay in the hospital, your visitors will need to follow special radiation safety precautions.
If you have a permanent implant, your doctor may tell you to limit the amount of time you spend around children and women who are pregnant. After a few weeks to months, the radiation is gone and will not cause any harm. Because of this, there is no need to take out the seeds.
Most people remain cancer-free or their cancer is in good control for many years after this treatment. Urinary and rectal symptoms may last for months.

I am 31 years old and just diagnosed with an early stage breast cancer, but due to family history, my doctor is recommending a double mastectomy. If I have the TRAM flap surgery, will I still be able to have a successful pregnancy in the future?
Brian Czerniecki, MD, Breast , responds:
In general with free flap reconstruction you can become pregnant the down side you would stretch out your abdomen again. Often with young patients they do not have enough tissue. As to whether you need bilateral mastectomy if your tumor is small you can do either lumpectomy and radiation or mastectomy. The non-involved breast does not need to be touched if you do prophylactic mastectomy you get 25% risk reduction of future breast cancer incidence.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat. Series, View the Life After Breast Cancer transcript.
Mar 6, 2015 - Although pregnancy may conceal breast cancer in younger women and lead to a delay in diagnosis, evaluation and treatment, pregnancy-associated breast cancers are not associated with a worse outcome compared to non-pregnancy-associated breast cancers, according to research published online Feb. 9 in Cancer.

Magnetic resonance angiography is an MRI exam of the blood vessels. Unlike traditional angiography that involves placing a tube (catheter) into the body, MRA is noninvasive.
MRA; Angiography - magnetic resonance
You may be asked to wear a hospital gown or clothing without metal fasteners (such as sweatpants and a t-shirt). Certain types of metal can cause blurry images.
You will lie on a narrow table, which slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner.
Some exams require a special dye (contrast). Most often, the dye is given before the test through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.
During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test may take 1 hour or more.
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 - 6 hours before the scan.
Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious, or your doctor may suggest an "open" MRI, in which the machine is not as close to the body.
Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:
Because the MRI contains strong magnets, metal objects are not allowed into the room with the MRI scanner:
An MRA exam causes no pain. If you have problems lying still or are very nervous, you may be given a medicine (sedative) to relax you. Moving too much can blur images and cause errors.
The table may be hard or cold, but you can ask for a blanket or pillow. The machine produces loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You can wear ear plugs to help reduce the noise.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time. Some scanners have televisions and special headphones that you can use to help the time pass.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax.
MRA is used to look at the blood vessels in all parts of the body, including the head, heart, abdomen, lungs, kidneys, and legs.
It may be used to diagnose or evaluate conditions such as:
A normal result means the blood vessels do not show any signs of narrowing or blockage.
An abnormal exam suggests a problem with one or more blood vessels. This may suggest atherosclerosis, trauma, a congenital disease, or other vascular condition.
MR angiography is generally safe. It uses no radiation. To date, no side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.
The most common type of contrast (dye) used contains gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions to the substance rarely occur. However, gadolinium can be harmful to patients with kidney problems who require dialysis. If you have kidney problems, please tell your health care provider before the test.
The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can cause heart pacemakers and other implants to not work as well. They can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift.

MONDAY, March 24, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A drug used to treat seizures may reduce the risk of head and neck cancers, a new study suggests.
Valproic acid (Depakote) is prescribed to prevent seizures and also to control mood, but it is also being investigated for cancer prevention because it inhibits genetic changes that can lead to cancer.
The new study included nearly 440,000 U.S. veterans, including about 27,000 who were taking valproic acid for bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), migraines and seizures. Overall, veterans who took the drug for at least one year were 34 percent less likely to develop head and neck cancers than those who didn't take the drug, the investigators found.
The risk appeared to be even lower in those who took it in higher doses or for longer periods of time, according to the study published online March 24 in the journal Cancer.
Veterans who took valproic acid did not have a reduced risk for lung, bladder, colon or prostate cancers, said team leader Dr. Johann Christoph Brandes, of the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Emory University in Atlanta, and colleagues.
"A 34 percent risk reduction for the development of head and neck cancer with [valproic acid] use could result in the prevention of up to approximately 16,000 new cases and 3,000 to 4,000 annual deaths in the U.S. alone," Brandes said in a journal news release.
"Head and neck cancer is an important global health crisis, and low cost and low toxicity prevention strategies like [valproic acid] use have a high potential impact on pain, suffering, costs, and [death] associated with this disease," he added.
Although the study found an association between valproic acid use and reduced risk of certain cancers, it did not prove cause-and-effect.

The Mavericks' 24-game home schedule begins Feb. 14 with the three-day UTA Maverick Invitational. "In our last year in our current facility we are offering free admission, and are really trying to reach out to the community and the student population," Fox said. "We want to create a fan base here in Arlington and that fan support really does make a difference, especially in close games." Allan Saxe Field is also playing host to the UTA Hilton Invitational from Feb. 20-23. Home games also include the first season in the Sun Belt Conference. The first Sun Belt home series is March 29-30 against Western Kentucky. "The free admission allows people who wouldn't normally come to our games the opportunity to fall in love with our players and sport," Fox added. "Softball is a great sport to watch and the players are very accessible to the young people. Our team plans on sticking around 20-30 minutes after each game to sign autographs and meet the people that come out and support us." |

Moderator: LGB Mods
Pääjärvi is a very speedy and skilled winger. His acceleration is top notch and what really characterizes his game is the way he drives to the net. In full speed, he gets around the opposing defenseman with ease and usually gets the puck on the net with a quick wrist-shot. Offensively, he is also blessed with above average hockey sense, nice technical skills and the ability to set up his teammates with passes. He is a creative player with smarts that usually scores quite spectacular goals and does things that are hard for the defensemen to read.
Defensively, he has throughout his career as a junior been considered as a sloppy player with not enough willingness to back check and to the dirty work. This is something Pääjärvi Svensson has worked very hard on and improved significantly. Today, he is in fact a quite capable two-way player that also battles for the puck and takes care of his responsibilities. However, there are still some defensive aspects that could use improvement. Size and strength is good and he has all the tools to become a dangerous offensive force in the future.

But what can Paajarvi provide that makes it a worthwhile trade? We should consider instituting a WAR like in baseball. Will the lack of turnovers and the space he creates for Tarasenko and Schwartz be better than his replacement in Perron?

All in all, a perfect summer project. Thanks again, Dana, for trusting me with this job. I can't wait to hear what you think.
Okay, now the talky part. I won't be offended if you only come here for the mediocre pictures of quilts, so I'll put one more at the bottom for you folks.
Summer is rolling along quickly. Friday was our last day of swimming lessons. A very happy experience for all involved. The kids made great progress and it was so nice to be able to just go and watch this year. In years past I've done a 'mom and me' class with the youngest child and by the time I get everyone changed, myself included, both before and after each 1/2 hour lesson, the morning was gone. This was a much more relaxing way of doing things. Hence the reason we signed up for a second session.
And just when I was starting to feel ready to enjoy some lazy last weeks of summer, our plans have drastically changed. We are suddenly buying a new house. I'm sure you are asking 'How does one 'suddenly' by a new house?" One week ago today I could not have given you an answer to that question.
All I know is this: the possibility of buying another house has been on our radar for a while. Our current house has always been somewhat frustratingly dysfunctional. As the prices in this market have dipped considerably we've started to see what was out there in our price range. A week ago tonight I had totally put that notion on the back burner and decided to just get my kids ready for school. Then some quirky things happened on Monday that led me to a house listing online. We looked at it the next day, made an offer two days later and after a few counter offers, we are officially moving about 20 minutes away from where we live now. I don't know what in the world I am going to do about my kids starting school, but somehow we'll know the right thing to do. This I DO know, when something is right, God shows you the way and it just suddenly feels like the right path to take. And things can happen fast.
And why am I blathering on and on about this? Well it probably means blogging and etsy-ing get put on the back burner for a while longer. But I am thinking about having a tag-sale of sorts to get rid of some of my fabric. Because I'm not sure I want my husband (or anyone else) to know how much I really have. Yikes.

PwC reveals B2B companies failing in managing social media
Findings from a PwC social maturity survey (conducted from a online poll during July to September 2011 included feedback from 70 organisations from various industries) produced its new paper entitled 'Uncovering B2B social media: Value, innovation and engagement' reveals that although B2B companies were investing between $416,000 (£269,615) and $1.85 (£1.19) million in social media, the infrastructure to manage it was not in place, nor were systems to measure its return on investment (ROI). The paper states that CEOs are still thinking how to best implement social media and two-thirds of company cultures don't support or provide basic rules and education that can expose them reputational risk.
PwC also highlights to companies in the B2B arena how it thinks social media could have an impact upon their businesses with some sage advice for CEOs and businesses that are unaware of its potential impact.
Sean Mahdi, director in PwC's digital transformation practice comments, "Social media is changing the way people work, shop, receive service and relate to one another. Businesses also need to change the way they engage with customers, whose trust is increasingly invested in their peers, rather than in the brands with which they interact. Business audience and buyers are people influenced by the same forces that influence retail consumers. In fact, they are those consumers."
Mahdi goes on to reveal, "The results of our survey demonstrate that, although B2B is investing in social media, they appear to be doing so with limited strategies that don't fully exploit social media in the way that B2C is doing. There is evidence that sectors you might expect to be proficient in this area such as Technology and Entertainment and Media have much better tools and processes in place, but the majority of B2B organisations have much work to do to effectively use this 'new' medium to interact with their clients and customers."
In its press release PwC does say that businesses should 'exploit' social media, which is a negative mindset. Perhaps this is where the issues for CEOs and the businesses they operate fester - there is too much emphasis on exploiting social media and its channels, instead of working with them. It maybe an innocent use of a buzzword, but it's also an insight into the warped and incorrect mindset that can be damaging for businesses if strategy and activity is implemented with negative connotations that accompany such out-of-date phrases.
The report raises as many questions as findings it uncovers in which the authors strive to address. Many of these questions that have been circulating for many years, even before the term social media was coined, especially for individuals that have worked within both digital and direct environments (particularly digital), so isn't 'new' (as PwC described it) for those working in this space for a while.
There are many challenges that are similar to those raised several years ago, with the common denominators including, how skills and expertise can be implemented amongst teams and ensuring they're transferable. As for the emphasis in creating social teams, it's pretty much the same views formulated in building digital teams in the early 00s. There were plenty of successes, but many more failures as the gold rush produced a vacuum of specialists that are at times better at pushing their own services, rather than
that of their clients.
There's no surprise that the B2B industry as a whole may contain slower adopters, and there is plenty of case history with other digital channels that supports this (and the report and press release does mention this). However, this is not to say that there are exceptions to the rule because there are plenty, and it's obvious in which areas with entertainment, media and technology leading the way - again highlighted within the press release.
The press release and report compared B2B social media to that of B2C several times, saying there are many lessons yet to be learnt for the business arena. Whilst this is certainly true, there are many in the B2B realm getting it right, and many in B2C getting it wrong. It's not the case, as the report may lead you to believe, that the B2C social media arena is, across the board, by no means a shining example.
For many B2B companies the findings may be news to them, for others a wake up call in areas in which they need to improve. Perhaps a 2012 report may reveal if there is deeper understanding by CEOs of how the digital landscape is evolving whether it's social media or otherwise. Hopefully, it will help CEOs realise that they need to be backed with right teams and people that are allowed to implement expertise, advising them how to navigate a digital landscape that develops at an incredible rate.
Surely, CEOs need to be presented with the right facts, statistics and strategy for them to make more informed decisions, rather than expecting to be experts across all areas of communications, some that may appear niche to them. If CEOs and other senior management are able to admit and accept this advice from quarters that are probably foreign to them, and then act upon and feedback sharing what they learn, is certainly a report I'd like to read.
Report highlights
- 12% of organisations have full time social media teams in place
- Companies are investing between $416,00 and $1.65 on media, but are not measuring ROI
- Two-thirds of company culture to support the use of social media or support its development, growth and/or management
- 50% of B2B respondents to PwC's social maturity survey are not undertaking any measurement on their ROI, or only using basis qualitative measures
