With any year close, we see a lot of top 10 lists, whether it be the
Top 10 Celebrity Opps
, the
Top 10 Funniest Memes
, or the
Top Ten Movies of the Year
. But I thought it would be more fun to welcome 2013 with a top 5 list of the hottest lesbian sex scenes of all time. Strangely enough, I found all of these scenes in psychological thrillers, so get your
Adam and Eve
sex toys ready and then snuggle up with your teddy bear afterwards because you just might need it. Hope you enjoy!
Mullholland Drive
Mullholland Drive was released in 2001 and is a neo-noir styled psychological thriller. With a plot so twisted and too long to sum up in two sentences, this film basically follows the life of an actress as she falls in and out of touch with reality and falls in love with an estranged woman. As you'll find with all my selections, I went with the
girl's first hook up scene
of the movie. You'll also find
another sex scene
and a disturbing masturbation scene in this movie. This movie was produced by David Lynch, so stick to these clips instead of the movie if you're not into having your mind messed with.
Black Swan
a psychological thriller split personalities
Black Swan was released in 2010 and was produced by Darren Aronofsky, the same twisted genius who gave us Requiem for a Dream and Pi. And let's be honest, who didn't know this was going to be on the list. This psychological thriller follows the life of Nina (Natalie Portman) as she dances as the White Swan in Swan Lake. A tumultuous relationship begins with her counter part, the Black Swan (Mila Kunis) and it eventually leads Nina down a dark path. An ending nothing short of dramatic leaves you completely stunned. However for this scene selection, I picked the one and only
hook up scene
between Portman and Kunis.
Bound was released in 1996 and is another neo-noir crime thriller centered around the mafia and two lovers trying to start a new life together. After a mafia couple (Joe Pantoliano and Jennifer Tilly) meet their new neighbor/handy woman, Corky (Gina Gershon), the wife plans a scheme to get Corky to come over. Lured over to retrieve an earring from the pipe, Tilley proceeds to seduce Gershon on the couch and so begins their secret affair. I went with their
first hook up scene
because Tilly wants you to "feel" her attraction to Gershon.
Gia was released on HBO in 1998 and was a biographical film about the model Gia Marie Carangi. While depressing, this movie follows Gia from Philapdelphia to NYC, where she is immediately noticed for her beauty and rises to the forefront of the modeling industry. Shortly thereafter she falls into a love affair with a make up artist (Elizabeth Mitchell--you know, the blond from Lost.). While the movie had some decent girl on girl throughout, I picked the scene
where they have sex for the first time
immediately following a
naked photo shoot
the did together.
Wild Things
Wild Things, also released in 1998, is an erotic crime film with many twists and turns--a story of deception that begs the viewer to ask, who's fooling who? Despite it's low grade acting, hilarious 90s wear and Matt Dillion in general, this movie has some decent scenes--even one involving champagne and Denise Richard's boobs. However, for this selection, I'm going with the iconic make out scene between Denise Richards and Neve Campbell.

Agere Systems' Storage Division Readies for 65 Nanometers with Adoption of Mentor Graphics Calibre
WILSONVILLE, Ore., Sept. 12, 2006 – Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that the storage division at Agere Systems® has adopted a comprehensive collection of the Calibre® tools from Mentor. The set of tools in use at Agere include Calibre nmDRC, Calibre LVS, Calibre Interactive and Calibre RVE. Agere chose the Calibre tool suite primarily due to Calibre's extensive design rule file support from world-class foundries.
"The Calibre tool suite delivers, at this technology node, the performance needed for our physical verification," said Roland Krebs, Senior Manager of Physical Design at Agere.
"Our ability to complete verification quickly and to work with our partners and customers is a large benefit of the Calibre tool set over other similar tools on the market." said Greg Kleese, Director of Engineering at Agere.
There are clear benefits when designers adopt a comprehensive physical verification flow using the market leading Calibre tool suite, which includes Calibre nmDRC (design rule check), Calibre LVS (layout vs. schematic), and Calibre RVE (results viewing environment), all accessible through the Calibre Interactive invocation GUI. Designers can cross probe results, debug quickly and easily, and locate and fix errors in a succinct manner. In addition, with Calibre, the risk of unforeseen issues in manufacturing is greatly minimized because Calibre is the golden sign-off standard at the majority of all world-class foundries.
"The Calibre design-to-silicon platform is recognized for its technological superiority," said Anthony Nicoli, director of marketing for the Calibre physical verification, extraction and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) products. "When our customers adopt the Calibre tool flow, they find their total verification time is greatly reduced, they experience predictable, fast turn around times and avoid delays in their design cycle."

2011 equity volumes remained stable despite a fall in market capitalization. Derivatives, bonds, ETFs, and securitized derivatives continued to grow strongly.
Total turnover value remained stable in 2011 at USD 63 trillion despite a sharp decrease of the global market capitalization (-13.6% at USD 47 trillion). High volatility and global uncertainty created from the sovereign debt crisis affected volumes all year through and made August 2011 the most active month in terms of trading value, a highly unusual annual peak for markets.
Despite overall unfavorable conditions for primary markets in several regions, WFE members increased their total listings by 1.7% totaling 45 953 companies listed.
Total number of trades decreased by 6.4% at 112 trillion. This trend combined with the stability of turnover value led to a small increase in the average size of transaction which was USD 8 700 in 2011.
The high volatility and lack of confidence that affected financial markets globally probably drove the needs of hedging as derivatives contracts traded grew by 8.9%.
WFE members continued to diversify their products range as other products such as bonds, ETFs, and securitized derivatives all had solid growth in 2011.
2011 equity volumes remained stable despite a fall in market capitalization. Derivatives, bonds, ETFs, and securitized derivatives continued to grow strongly.
Market capitalization
USD 47 tn -13.6%
Domestic market capitalization declined significantly in 2011 to USD 47 401 billion roughly back to the same level of end 2009. The decline affected almost all WFE members, as there were only four exchanges ending 2011 with a higher market capitalization. The magnitude of the decline is quite similar among the three time zones: -15.9% in Asia-Pacific, -15.2% in EAME and -10.8% in the Americas. The relative better performance of the latter is mostly due to NYSE Euronext (US) which represented almost 60% of the total region market capitalization and 25% of the WFE total.
The only change in 2011 in the top 10 exchanges by market capitalization is the Australian Stock Exchanges reaching the 10th rank. The Indian exchanges are no longer part of the top 10 as their market capitalization fell dramatically (-38% in USD terms). This trend has been reinforced by foreign exchange variation, since their market capitalization only fell by 26% in local currency.
$ 63 tn
EOB value of share trading -0.1%
EOB value of share trading
USD 63 tn -0.1%
Despite the market capitalization decline, Electronic Order Book (EOB) turnover value remained stable at USD 63 080 billion; as for the market capitalization, this is roughly the same level as in 2009.
It is interesting to note that the value of share trading has been extremely stable the last three years despite market capitalization swings (although those swings were less abrupt compared to the previous years).
In contrast to the market capitalization figure, there are diverging regional evolutions: -6.2% in Asia-Pacific; +1.7% in the Americas and +4.6% in EAME. The EAME performance is in fact the reflect of contrasted performance within this time zone, and is mostly due to the relative good performance of the region's largest markets in terms of volumes (London SE Group, NYSE Euronext (Europe), and Deutsche Börse).
The global total (-0.1%) is heavily influenced by the two largest exchanges by turnover value (NYSE Euronext (US) and NASDAQ OMX US) which represented almost 50% of the total EOB value of share trading and were both stable in 2011 compared to 2010 ( +1.3% and +0.5% respectively).
2011 was marked by an unusual trading pattern as monthly volumes peaked in August 2011 representing 11.5% of the year's total volumes (7.6% in 2010) or 38% higher than the monthly average for the year. As a reference, the 2011 August volumes reached USD 7 233 billion, to be compared for instance with the average monthly value reached in 2008 (USD 7 369 billion) where turnover value peaked at its historic height. This unusual monthly peak was due to extreme volatility and uncertainty that affected global markets due to the sovereign debt crisis.
Looking at the top 10 exchanges by value of share trading, TMX Group replaced Hong Kong Exchanges as number 10.
45 953
Number of listings
Number of listings
45 953 +1.7%
Despite an overall unfavorable macroeconomic environment for primary markets in several regions, the number of listings among WFE members increased slightly: +1.7%.
Number of EOB trades
112 bn -6.4%
112 bn
Number of EOB trades
There was a strong contrast between the Americas and Asia-Pacific (-4.8% and -10.5% respectively) and EAME (+17%); as the latter represents less than 10% of the total number of trades, the overall WFE trend is downwards (-6.4%). The number of trades is largely driven by US exchanges (NYSE Euronext US and NASDAQ OMX) reflecting the weight of these exchanges in overall volumes; and the Asia - Pacific region which overall represented 55% of the trades, reflecting the predominance of retail investors in some markets in this region.
Average size of transaction
$ 8 700
Average size of transaction
Not surprisingly, given a stable value of share trading and a declining number of trades, the average transaction size (weighted by value of share trading) is slightly up at USD 8 700.
The contrasted evolution noted above regarding the evolution of number of trades is even more acute regarding the average transaction size. With slightly higher turnover value and a decline of number of trades, the Americas average transaction size is up almost 8%. In Asia-Pacific the significant decline in number of trades also drove a 6.8% increase in the average transaction size. This time zone average transaction size is still below the WFE average at USD 5 600 overall indicating a very active retail market.
The surge in transactions in EAME (+17%) largely outpacing the growth of turnover value (+4.6%) led to a significant decline in the average transaction size (-13.8%) at USD 13 400. As noted in the last two years reports, this confirms the tendency of this region to converge with the WFE average. Though we are lacking more detailed figures, it could also indicate the continuing growth of algorithmic trading (including HFT) in the region whereas the Americas region, largely dominated by the US exchanges (because of the turnover value weighting), is probably more mature regarding this trend, and that the Asia-Pacific market seems to have been impacted less by this trend.

I heard on the news that this cute Asian model who used to come in here quite often to party with her friends, the guy on the tv said a couple guys had her out in the woods and really gave her a hard fucking while taking turns on her. She came in later and was talking about it without any real regrets but she isnt interested in that again! She said the outdoors is too itchy!
Naughty and very popular this big boobed Japanese tramp enjoys giving titty fucks almost as much as she likes giving head. She is quite popular for her talents and is always busy.

With big round tits and a sexy ass, Sora Aoi is the perfect kind of woman to take two guys on in a threesome because there are so many of her body parts to love. Hell, she can´t help but grab a hold of her own bouncy tits when they´re fucking her, whether they´re banging her doggy style, or she´s bouncing up and down on a stiff prick while on top.
Naughty Asian schoolgirl is really playing hard after school. She has hooked up with the boys from gym class to give her pussy a good work out while waiting for the bus. She certainly gives them a great time and usually has a couple hours to fuck around before it is time for her to leave. She is going to be a bit too well known if she keeps up her itchy pussy parties.
One evening this pretty Asian tramp came in the club and was sitting at the bar. Her friends were buying her drinks and she got pretty drunk and wanted to show off her talents. She produced a large dildo and began licking and sucking it until she had given every guy in the place a hard on. She wasnt interested in the real thing though and preferred to play with her plastic cock.

Breakfast and Beyond: All Things Maple!
We all love maple for its ability to evoke fall and turn everyday mornings into something special, but it's been stuck in just the a.m. for far too long. The deep, earthy sweetness of maple lends itself well to a range of recipes from decadent desserts to savory suppers. Maple helps transform simple ingredients in these recipes — the sweet syrup mellows mustard and chipotle for finger-licking good glazes, while fall fruits caramelize in it for sinfully sweet toppings or fillings. Enjoy the process of finding your favorites.

5 It works!!!!floco74 | 21/11/2010 | See all floco74's reviews (1)Bought this just before the arrival of my little one, thinking it would be the answer to all things distressing to baby.....it wasn't! The first time i played it...when my son was less than 48 hours old it freaked him out even more, but then again so would you if at that age someone had shoved a alien looking and sounding object in your face and expected it to calm you down. I have to say it went back in its box and i didn't look at it again until about 8 weeks later, when baby had become more accustomed to life in the world. AND this time it worked and continues to work. My son is now of the age where he realises that crying brings attention and has got into the habit of doing it at the least wanted moments (at the supermarket checkout/in the car /middle of a nappy change) but now with the aid of the "Cry-sis" toy we can get a few moments solace until we can tend to him. A very good product, but i'd reccommend waiting till baby is a few months old before using it. Also, try not to let the batteries die in it....the sound it makes is spine-tingling and eerie!!!!!
5 It really works!bexgreengoddess | 09/01/2010 | See all bexgreengoddess's reviews (10)Must admit, I was very apprehensive about the supposed fantastical design but those inventive Japanese have done it again!There seems to be something about the music that entrances children. Bright colours, interesting music and amusing sound effects...Have to say though, for a product designed for the (presumably fraught) parents of crying babies, it is ridiculously difficult to get out of the box! (sounds stupid I know, and it may be the result of too many sleep deprived nights, but I ended up getting a little annoyed to say the least!).Overall, a good product at a reasonable price :-)

"What do I tell my kids?"
This is often the first question I'm asked by a parent with a new cancer diagnosis. One of the most important things for parents to remember is that they know their children better than anyone else and they love them more than anyone…they can trust themselves to do this well.
Beyond that general reassurance, however, there are some practical tips for talking with children about a cancer diagnosis.
Prepare for the conversation
Think about your goals for the conversation. What does your child need to know? How you can help your child understand what's going on? How do you want your child to feel after the talk? Who should tell your child you have cancer and can the person talking to your child stay relatively calm?
When and where should I have this conversation? You don't have to wait until you have all the answers. Be prepared to ...

I'm very good at it, but I try to distract myself sometimes, because too much thinking over the same variables gets you stuck on them, and you become temporarily stupid with sadness.
I am an idea guy, so any information fed to me can be reinterpreted an innumerable variety of ways based on what I already know. As long as I remember that like any computer, I can get caught in a logical loop, it usually is enough to keep me going.
I think we (or at least I) can state that this equation can apply here: BR brainwaves + (thoughts / ideas x inspiration)location = PBT brainwaves + (backwards compatibility x thought process) + experiences = AWESOME!!!

The numbers are there for all of them.
Sixteen Gold Glove Awards for Brooks Robinson. Seven-hundred and fifty-five home runs for Hank Aaron. And – now – nine All-Star Games for Ron Santo.
All 296 Hall of Famers have the numbers. But it's the intangibles – the integrity, the character, the dedication – that brought them to Cooperstown.
Santo's election to the Hall of Fame on Monday was a reflection of his intangibles. Those intangibles left a legacy still felt by his teammates, his fans and his family.
"The numbers are there," said Santo's Chicago Cubs teammate Billy Williams. "Everybody saw the numbers. But (the Golden Era Committee electors) talked about what he did for the community."
Robinson and Aaron – just like Williams – were on that Golden Era Committee that elected Santo to the Hall of Fame. And character lessons were not lost on Brooks and Hank.
"I had some talent, but it was my desire that made the difference," Robinson said. "My love for the game overrode everything else."
Santo had that same love. So did Aaron, for whom character will always be a defining trait of a Hall of Famer.
"It's not just the stats that make you a Hall of Famer, but it's how you carry yourself," Aaron said. "We owe it to the public and the kids to be examples off the field, not just on it.
"That's what life is about, not just how much you can accumulate."
Along the way, however, the character of Hall of Famers like Robinson and Aaron led them to Cooperstown. Now, Santo – whose life touched so many other lives – joins them on the greatest team ever.
Craig Muder is the director of communications at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

As a life long Cub fan, it is about time that Cooperstown recognized Ron….too bad it was after his passing! This old Cub and Billy and Ernie were the face of the Cubs in my youth and made me spend the rest of my life (last time the Cubs were in the series was the year before I was born).. waiting for them to be World Champions again. I applaud the inclusion of Fergie and the "Hawk", but, Ronnie should have been there years ago. RIP Now!
I agree! I'm a lifelong Cubs fan also. Ron Santo deserved to be in the Cooperstown years ago. Too bad they elected him after he passed away. Billy, Ernie and Ron have always been my favorite players. RIP Ron!

Think of it as a second chance.
It could be a friend, a business associate, even a beloved sibling or spouse. They are special to you. But they didn't go to Baylor.
They love the green and gold. They cheer the Bears to victory. They even accompany you on trips to Waco for Homecoming. They believe in the university and what she stands for. They show commitment and care for Baylor they but with no official ties to the university, still feel like outsiders looking in.
You can change all that.
To nominate your Bear-to-be, simply click on this link: Nomination Form. Make sure to include specific ways your nominee has supported Baylor.
Examples include:
- Time invested with Baylor
- Support provided to family members who attend or have attended Baylor
- Volunteerism
- Employment at Baylor
- Support for athletics
- Financial Commitment to Baylor and her students
If selected, the Baylor Alumni Network will designate these devoted Baylor fans as "Alumni by Choice" honor them at a luncheon, and present them with official "Alumni by Choice" diplomas.
The program began in 1986. Awards are given at an annual ceremony.
Our next event will be February 28, 2015. Deadline for nominations is December 1, 2014.

text: Leonardo da Vinci is a genius, hungry for solutions to the world's mysteries. This can be a double-edged sword, a curse as much as it is a blessing, as his methods and lust for knowledge threaten his own life as well as those around him. Da Vinci is a bastard and yearns for legitimacy. Still haunted by the absence of his mother and the secrets surrounding her disappearance, da Vinci searches for a compendium of knowledge called The Book of Leaves. The quest for The Book of Leaves is perilous, taking da Vinci on a path far beyond his imagination and will put him and those he loves at great risk. With his genius pushed to its limits, da Vinci will come to realize that sacrifice is often necessary for the greater good: both for Florence and for those he loves.

February 2008
Green was the theme at the February New York International Gift Fair and sustainability was the trend. Aid to Artisans' eco products from projects in El Salvador, Colombia and South Africa were right in step.
Vendors at the recent New York International Gift Fair reported that business was indeed off, on an average between 10-15% but, they said, not as bad as might have been expected with the stock market headlines and the general countrywide economic jitters. The aisles were often crowded, as even in worrisome times retailers need something enticing to sell. (Pictured are Artecnica's green recycled bottles from Guatemala).
GREEN was the clear market trend along with the now widely adopted Fair Trade emphasis. Throughout the show from Handmade to Accent on Design the emphasis was sustainability. Widespread concern for our planet's renewable resources meant that some vendors even took the trouble to list every material used in a product, the source, and the process employed in production.
Eco-Chic from El Salvador, Colombia and South Africa
ATA has been working "green" for years and we had many green products in our booth. Magazine editors looking for eco-chic - and they all were - could choose from El Salvador's eco-products: recycled leather bags (from leftover factory leather bits and pieces, softened, much like paper pulp and reconstituted into leather again); lace-like wicker baskets and trunks from Fibras Naturales; natural indigo tabletop furnishings as well as eco-products from other ATA projects: from Colombia, Tagua Jewelry (called vegetable ivory) in satiny naturally dyed colors and from South Africa a hugely popular assortment of pyrographed bugwood fish sculptures and candleholders. Bugwood is and invasive and fast-growing wood that South African foresters want to eradicate and offer it free for the taking. Click here for more information about ATA in South Africa.
ATA Trade Members Also Offer Fair & Green Products
Many ATA Trade Members offered green, recycled, Fair Trade products too, such as the best-selling recycled glass bottles at Artecnica, and some from very recent visits to ATA projects such as One World Imports first venture in Afghanistan and Swahili Imports big accent baskets from recycled prayer mats in Senegal.

A disturbance at the Best Western in Orange led to the arrest of a Newton man for possession of methamphetamine.
Hardin County Sheriff Ed Cain announced Feb. 8 that his office charged two people with intent to manufacture a controlled substance after executing a search warrant at 6650 Orchid, in Lumberton on Jan. 28.
Police arrested two men after information led them to suspect a methamphetamine lab was being run out of a residence in Pinehurst.

What's the best way to care for a tree during a drought?
Depending on the species of tree and where it's planted, trees may need some extra help during drought conditions.
Extended droughts can cause decline and death on both young and mature trees. Even large trees more than one hundred years old can decline. It's better to apply water preventively before the tree canopy begins losing foliage than to wait until these symptoms are advanced.
- Water is one of the most important things trees need. Trees take in water by their roots but many people water the leaves of their trees, creating an environment for disease. Instead, adjust sprinkler heads down to water the soil. Some sprinkler heads may need the nozzle changed to a flat spray.
- Do not water near the trunk unless you've planted the tree within the last four or five years. Instead, water the area under the drip-line (edge of the branches) where the tree's root system extends.
- Water slowly, this allows water to adhere to soil particles on its way down. Soaker hoses and drip irrigation work well.
- Residents in the City of Los Angeles are now prohibited from watering their lawns between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., and watering is limited to 15 minutes a day. Residential DWP customers who violate the rules will be fined $100, which is double the old fine of $50 for a first-time offense. The fine for businesses that violate the rules quadrupled to $200. Repeat residential offenders can be fined up to $300 and commercial customers up to $600.
- Mulch is a gardener's best friend. A three to four inch layer of wood chips spread on bare ground will reduce water evaporation, insulate roots from heat, keep the weeds away, and give a home to beneficial microorganisms.
- Avoid over-fertilizing your trees or you may find that sap-sucking insects such as aphids, white fly and scale are paying you a warm weather visit. Pest populations, including insects and disease, increase rapidly with warmer weather. Keep things in balance and you'll reduce your problems.
- Mature trees: We often take our large trees for granted and forget that they can decline in health during extended drought. Most people don't realize the tree is in trouble because symptoms appear first in the top center portion of the canopy far from view.
- Do not prune live branches in a severe drought. Removing live tissues forces the tree to expend energy to defend against the pruning cuts. Removing live foliage also reduces the capacity of the tree to grow once rains return.
- Do not fertilize trees in extended drought since this pulls water from the roots and forces the tree to expend precious energy to process the fertilizer.
- Do not dig under the canopy of the tree in drought. Digging under the tree kills the small roots that absorb water, thus reducing the tree's capacity to uptake water.

Your cart is empty!
Creatine is an essential compound in the bodys anaerobic energy cycle. It recycles the compound (ATP - from ADP) that directly provides the energy for intense muscular contraction. If creatine is not present in sufficient amounts, energy for intense exertion is both low and slower to recover. Supplementation of creatine increases available muscular energy for that set of squats, or that sprint, or that jump, or that play, or that swing, and so on. Likewise, creatine will enable quicker recovery for that next effort, just seconds away. The result is that you get stronger, bigger and quicker.
HPLC pure creatine monohydrate.
As a dietary supplement, mix 1 scoop with 8 oz of water.

CHANGES AFOOT: This weekend, magazine executives will descend on Boca Raton, Fla., for the American Magazine Conference, where they'll subject themselves to Waverly Inn truffle fries and full-bore schmoozing. But there will be substance to the soirees: The conference is also expected to bring some changes to the National Magazine Awards, according to sources. One to be revealed there is that, for the first time, magazines put out by newspapers will be eligible for the highly prized awards. The New York Times magazine is expected to be a prime beneficiary of this (though perhaps Parade and USA Weekend would be indignant at the suggestion).
Earlier this year, after sweeping the awards with five wins, New York magazine editor in chief Adam Moss told WWD he intended to push for newspaper magazines' eligibility, having edited The New York Times magazine for five years. He was elected to the board of ASME last year, and is now secretary.
Other changes that will be discussed when board members meet in Boca this weekend include possible consideration of online-only features in regular categories (currently, they are judged separately). Board members privately disputed speculation that the fiction category would be eliminated; instead, members are said to be discussing how to reenvision it.

NUMBERS, PLEASE: Condé Nast Publications and Hearst Magazines finally agreed to sign up to the Audit Bureau of Circulations' Rapid Report filing system, which reports circulation figures weeks after a magazine's on-sale date. The system reports figures on individual issues much quicker than the old-fashioned biannual reporting schedule from the ABC, and gives advertisers a faster read on a magazine's circulation performance. The news was reported by Advertising Age on Tuesday.
Condé Nast will put 24 of its titles, including Vanity Fair, Glamour and The New Yorker, on the reporting system by the end of the first quarter of next year, but the group will not include its newest launch, Portfolio. The business title is still not listed with ABC, but is expected to join in the latter part of next year. The magazine then will be added to Rapid Report.
Hearst Magazines also said it would commit its remaining titles to Rapid Report by January. The company already lists Good Housekeeping, Smart Money and Town & Country, but will sign up titles including Quick & Simple, Cosmopolitan, Redbook and Esquire.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My girlfriend was recently diagnosed with Adult non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She had a bone marrow biopsy done and her doctor says she has lymphoma in her bones. Now the nurse said that she is in stage IV. Does the bone marrow having lymphoma mean stage 4? Exactly how much worse is stage IV than the other stages? What are the averages on remission and time it lasts?
I THANK YOU Very Much!
Li Liu, MD, Editorial Assistant for OncoLink, responds:
Dear S,
Thank you for your interest and question.
Patients with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) are staged with the Ann Arbor system. Stage IV is defined as either of the following:
In addition to the Ann Arbor system, there are a variety of pretreatment clinical factors which have been found to be associated with the prognosis of patients with NHLs:
The optimal treatments for patients with Stage IV indolent NHL remain controversial. The reasons for controversy relate to the fact that the vast majority of patients with advanced stages of low-grade lymphoma are not cured with current therapeutic options. The treatments are quite divergent, which include:
Your girlfriend should discuss these treatment options with her medical oncologist.
Dec 7, 2010 - Rituximab may be a better option than watchful waiting in some lymphoma patients, and a new treatment option appears effective for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to two studies being presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, held from Dec. 4 to 7 in Orlando, Fla. Other research being presented will highlight new options for the standard treatment of advanced asymptomatic follicular lymphoma; mantle cell lymphoma; and early, unfavorable Hodgkin's disease.

I have heard that elephants have a good memory. I know my granddaughter, India rode an elephant at the circus when she was about five years old and that was all she talked about for a very long time. So this piece is for her.

Huh. So between that and the recent Aspect of the (Iron) Hawk buff, hunter DPS is looking okay for me. I guess Powershot is borked, but I don't use that one.
How are you guys holding up in game, friends?

Theater an der Wien
Theater an der Wien - The New Opera House
An opera house returns to opera.
And it is not just any theatre, but the one that Emanuel Schikaneder, the all-round genius, actor, impresario with a flair for organization but above all librettist of The Magic Flute, had built in 1801 in Vienna in keeping with the spirit of Mozart.
To coincide with the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth the Theater an der Wien presents itself as a new opera house from January 2006. As a "stagione" opera house with productions all the year round the Theater an der Wien carves a new and independent niche in the realm of high-quality culture in Vienna. For twelve months of the year, with one premiere every month, opera will be performed under the "stagione", or season, system: that means the cast remains unchanged from the first performance to the last one, which guarantees that the very highest international standards are maintained.

Phil Spector gets 19 years to life for actress' murder

Music producer Phil Spector, center, and his attorney Dennis Riordan appear in a courtroom for Spector's sentencing in Los Angeles. More photos >>>
In a quiet end to the 6-year-old case, the legendary music producer is told that he will not be eligible for parole until 2028, when he would be 88.
By Harriet Ryan
8:45 PM PDT, May 29, 2009
Phil Spector stared straight ahead. It was the appointed hour for the legendary music producer's six-year murder case to come to a close and the courtroom was packed with reporters, fans and detractors eager to hear his sentence. But he did not look at the judge, take notes or whisper to his lawyer.
For Spector, it seemed, it wasn't worth it. A life sentence is mandatory for second-degree murder and the only decision before the judge Friday was whether Spector, 69, should have his first parole hearing in 2027, 2028 or 2034.
Photos: In pictures: Phil Spector L.A. Now: Local breaking news blogComplete coverage of Spector's trials
After listening to arguments, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler chose 2028. As the judge told Spector that he would have to serve at least 19 years in prison -- at which time he would be 88 -- he remained stoic.
Spector declined an opportunity to address the court and moments later, surrounded by court officers, he shuffled out a side door.
It was a quiet end to a legal proceeding that has intrigued the public since Feb. 3, 2003, when actress Lana Clarkson was shot to death in the foyer of Spector's Alhambra mansion.
A jury convicted him of Clarkson's murder last month, a year and a half after another panel had deadlocked.
A prosecutor called the sentence "a message" that justice is blind in Los Angeles even when the defendant is a music icon. "No matter your fame or your wealth or your supposed celebrity, you will stand trial and you will be held accountable," Deputy Dist. Atty. Alan Jackson said.
Spector's lawyer said his client was focused on his appeal and eager to get through the sentencing so he could move to a prison facility nicer than the jail where he has been held since the conviction.
Before the sentencing, Clarkson's mother, Donna, a constant presence at both trials, told the judge that her heartbreak over her daughter's death was intensified because of the way she was portrayed in court. The defense painted the 40-year-old as a failed actress who killed herself while battling depression.
Donna Clarkson, dressed in a black suit adorned with a ribbon of leopard skin -- her daughter's favorite fashion accent -- said she often wanted to interrupt the proceedings to defend her daughter's memory.
"I am very proud of Lana and the wonderful and special person she was," she said. Her voice choking, she added, "All our plans together are destroyed. Now I can only visit her in the cemetery."
"I miss you so," she whispered. With the criminal case over, her wrongful-death suit against Spector will proceed in civil court.
Spector's attorney said the defense sympathized with the Clarkson family's loss, but insisted that Spector was innocent. "The evidence did not establish Mr. Spector's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt," Doron Weinberg told the judge.
Five jurors who convicted Spector attended the sentencing and exchanged glances as the defense lawyer argued against their verdict.
The defense did not file a routine motion asking that the judge grant a new trial instead of proceeding with the sentencing. Such motions are almost never granted, but Fidler said he had found an old case suggesting that the defense was required to make the request.
Weinberg, who made no secret of his disdain for the judge's evidentiary rulings during the trial, said he didn't see any point in raising the issues again, but agreed to make the motion orally.
"For all the erroneous rulings the court made . . . we move for a new trial," the lawyer said.
Fidler smiled, then denied the San Francisco lawyer's motion. The judge also ordered Spector to pay about $26,000 for Clarkson's funeral expenses and the cost of counseling provided to her mother and sister.
Jackson, the prosecutor, spent years preparing and trying the case, but never got to question Spector, who did not to testify in his own defense.
He said the only thing he had to say to Spector would require traveling back in time to the morning that Clarkson was shot: "Take the gun out of your hand, sir. She doesn't deserve this."
Despite Spector's age and failing health -- he had surgery this week for precancerous polyps in his throat -- the prosecutor said he felt no sympathy for him.
"He's getting exactly what he deserved," Jackson said.
Spector's 28-year-old wife, Rachelle, told reporters that she was dedicated to getting her husband "out of that awful place and home where he belongs."
She decried the prosecutor's portrait of her husband as "a monster."
"He is the most kind and gentle and giving man I have ever met in my life," she said.

My bicycle is our second car. I love to bicycle in all weather, for all distances, and on all routes. Bicycling has brought so much joy to my life, and I want to share it with anyone who is interested. I will use my soapbox to tell you about the joys, the freedom, the benefits, and, yes, the challenges of bicycling and walking for transportation.
I've had my share of falls on a bike. When I was little I skidded out on a gravel road and skinned my knee. In high school, my brakes failed, I couldn't make the turn on a steep descent, nearly hit a KU basketball player, and rear-ended his parked car. A few years ago, my shoelace got caught in my chainring. I slowed but couldn't free myself in time and fell. I fell on a patch of gravel I'd safely traversed twice daily for years. When I first got toe cages I forgot to take my foot out at a stop sign and fell over (this is really common by the way).
I'm not alone in these silly mistakes. My mom rode into a rosebush. My dad slipped on the slick mud hidden by a puddle. My cousin hit a patch of ice and fractured her elbow. My professor zoned out and went straight where the road curved.
"Control Your Bike" is the first layer of crash prevention because 83% of bike wrecks don't involve a car. Most bicyclists believe the biggest threat is cars and trucks, but potholes, railroad tracks, and dogs are bigger problems.
Astute readers at this point may say, "Wrecks that don't involve a car might be more common, but those involving a car are more deadly. I'll take my chances with the potholes, thanks." The statistics rely on reported wrecks, medical or police reports, which are typically quite serious. So the car-free bike crashes contributing to these statistics are just as serious as the car-bike collisions. Most of the wrecks I described were not reported since they did not require police or medical attention.
You can improve your control of your bike with these simple steps.
-Ride at least an arm's length from the edge of the road. Potholes and debris accumulate at the far edge of the road. Riding about 18" from the edge of the road lets you avoid most of that without even trying. When there is an obstacle in your path, scan behind you for traffic, and when it is clear, maneuver around the obstacle.
-Don't ride on sidewalks. In addition to putting you at increased risk of collisions at driveways and intersections, sidewalks have more obstacles.
-Know what to watch out for. Experience will teach you these lessons thoroughly, but it is possible to learn from someone else's experience. Here are some common causes:

On two seperate occasions, I witnessed old guys absolutely melt - one actually teared up a little bit - at the gas station we used to stop at when we walked in there, holding hands, at about 4:30 am. She'd have her lil' camo clothes on, with her name embroidered in pink on her jacket, pony tail hanging out of her hat.
