Bladder cancer
Bladder cancer is a cancerous tumor in the bladder. The bladder is the organ in the center of the lower abdomen that holds urine.
Alternative Names
Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder; Urothelial cancer
In the United States, bladder cancers usually start from the cells lining the bladder (transitional cells).
These tumors are classified based on the way they grow:
- Papillary tumors have a wart-like appearance and are attached to a stalk.
- Nonpapillary (sessile) tumors are much less common. However, they are more invasive and have a worse outcome.
As with most other cancers, the exact cause of bladder cancer is uncertain. However, several factors may contribute to its development:
- Cigarette smoking. Smoking increases the risk of developing bladder cancer nearly fivefold. As many as 50% of all bladder cancers in men and 30% in women may be caused by cigarette smoke. People who quit smoking have a gradual decline in risk.
- Chemical exposure at work. About one in four cases of bladder cancer is caused by exposure to cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens) on the job. Dye workers, rubber workers, aluminum workers, leather workers, truck drivers, and pesticide applicators are at the highest risk. Arylamines are the chemicals most responsible. However, arylamines have been reduced or eliminated in many workplaces.
- Radiation and chemotherapy. Women who received radiation therapy for the treatment of cervical cancer have an increased risk of developing transitional cell bladder cancer. Some people who have received the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) are also at increased risk.
- Bladder infection. A long-term (chronic) bladder infection or irritation may lead to the development of squamous cell bladder cancer. Bladder infections do not increase the risk of transitional cell cancers.
- Parasite infection. Infection with the schistosomiasis parasite has been linked to the development of bladder cancer.
The association between artificial sweeteners and bladder cancer has been studied and is weak or nonexistent.
Bladder cancers are classified, or staged, based on their aggressiveness and how much they differ from the surrounding bladder tissue. There are several different ways to stage tumors. Recently, the TNM (Tumor, Nodes, Metastasis) staging system has become common. This staging system categorizes tumors using the following scale:
- Stage 0 -- Noninvasive tumors that are only in the bladder lining
- Stage I -- Tumor goes through the bladder lining, but does not reach the muscle layer of the bladder
- Stage II -- Tumor goes into the muscle layer of the bladder
- Stage III -- Tumor goes past the muscle layer into tissue surrounding the bladder
- Stage IV -- Tumor has spread to neighboring lymph nodes or to distant sites (metastatic disease)
Bladder cancer spreads by extending into the nearby organs, including the:
- Prostate
- Rectum
- Ureters
- Uterus
- Vagina
It can also spread to lymph nodes in the pelvis, or to other parts of the body, such as:
- Bones
- Liver
- Lungs
Most of the symptoms of bladder cancer can also occur with non-cancerous conditions. It's important to get evaluated if you have any of these symptoms:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will perform a physical examination, including a rectal and pelvic exam.
Diagnostic tests that may be done include:
- Abdominal CT scan
- Bladder biopsy (usually performed during cystoscopy)
- Cystoscopy (examining the inside of the bladder with a camera)
- Intravenous pyelogram - IVP
- Urinalysis
- Urine cytology
The choice of treatment depends on the stage of the tumor, the severity of the symptoms, and the presence of other medical conditions.
Stage 0 and I treatments:
- Surgery to remove the tumor without removing the rest of the bladder
- Chemotherapy or immunotherapy directly into the bladder
Stage II and III treatments:
- Surgery to remove the entire bladder (radical cystectomy)
- Surgery to remove only part of the bladder, followed by radiation and chemotherapy
- Chemotherapy to shrink the tumor before surgery
- A combination of chemotherapy and radiation (in patients who choose not to have surgery or who cannot have surgery)
Most patients with stage IV tumors cannot be cured and surgery is not appropriate. In these patients, chemotherapy is often considered.
Chemotherapy may be given to patients with stage II and III disease either before or after surgery to help prevent the tumor from returning.
Chemotherapy may be given as a single drug or in different combinations of drugs. These drugs include:
- Carboplatin
- Cisplatin
- Cyclophosphamide
- Docetaxel
- Doxorubicin
- Gemcitabine
- Ifosfamide
- Methotrexate
- Paclitaxel
- Vinblastine
The combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin is as effective as an older treatment called MVAC (methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin) with fewer side effects. Many centers have replaced MVAC with this new combination. Paclitaxel and carboplatin is another effective combination that is frequently used.
For early disease (stages 0 and I), chemotherapy is usually given directly into the bladder. Several different types of chemotherapy medications may be delivered directly into the bladder. They include:
- Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)
- Mitomycin-C (Mutamycin)
- Thiotepa (Thioplex)
A Foley catheter can be used to deliver the medication into the bladder. Common side effects include bladder wall irritation and pain when urinating. For more advanced stages (II-IV), chemotherapy is usually given by vein (intravenously).
Bladder cancers are often treated by immunotherapy. In this treatment, a medication causes your own immune system to attack and kill the tumor cells. Immunotherapy for bladder cancer is usually performed using the Bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccine (commonly known as BCG). It is given through a Foley catheter directly into the bladder. If BCG does not work, patients may receive interferon.
Possible side effects include:
- Frequent urination
- Irritable bladder
- Painful urination
- Urgent need to urinate
These symptoms usually improve within a few days after treatment. Rare side effects include:
Rarely, a tuberculosis-like infection can develop. This requires treatment with an anti-tuberculosis medication.
People with stage 0 or I bladder cancer can be treated with transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB). This surgical procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. A cutting instrument is inserted through the urethra to remove the bladder tumor.
Many people with stage II or III bladder cancer may need to have their bladder removed (radical cystectomy). Partial bladder removal may be performed in some patients. Removal of part of the bladder is usually followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy to help decrease the chances of the cancer returning. Patients who have the entire bladder removed will receive chemotherapy after surgery to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back.
Radical cystectomy in men usually involves removing the bladder, prostate, and seminal vesicles. In women, the urethra, uterus, and the front wall of the vagina are removed along with the bladder. Often, the pelvic lymph nodes are also removed during the surgery to be examined in the laboratory.
A urinary diversion surgery (a surgical procedure to create an alternate method for urine storage) is usually done with radical cystectomy. Two common types of urinary diversion are an ileal conduit and a continent urinary reservoir.
An ileal conduit is a small urine reservoir that is surgically created from a small segment of bowel. The ureters that drain urine from the kidneys are attached to one end of the bowel segment. The other end is brought out through an opening in the skin (a stoma). The stoma allows the patient to drain the collected urine out of the reservoir.
People who have had an ileal conduit need to wear a urine collection appliance outside their body at all times. Possible complications with ileal conduit surgery include:
- Bowel obstruction
- Blood clots
- Long-term damage to the upper urinary tract
- Pneumonia
- Skin breakdown around the stoma
- Urinary tract infection
A continent urinary reservoir is an alternate method of storing urine. A segment of colon is removed. It is used to create an internal pouch to store urine.
Patients are able to insert a catheter periodically to drain the urine. A small stoma is placed in the skin to allow for this.
Possible complications include:
- Blood clots
- Bowel obstruction
- Pneumonia
- Skin breakdown around the stoma
- Ureteral obstruction
- Ureteral reflux
- Urinary tract infection
This surgery is becoming more common in patients undergoing cystectomy. A segment of bowel is folded over to make a pouch (a neobladder, which means "new bladder"). Then it is attached to the place in the urethra where the urine normally empties from the bladder.
This procedure allows patients to maintain some normal urinary control. However, there are complications (including urine leakage at night). Urination is usually not the same as it was before surgery.
Some patients may not be good candidates for this procedure. Discuss the pros and cons with your urologist.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Patients are closely monitored to see whether the disease gets worse, regardless of which kind of treatment they received. Monitoring may include:
- Bone scan and/or CT scan to check for cancer spread
- Checking for other signs of disease progression, such as fatigue, weight loss, increased pain, decreased bowel and bladder function, and weakness
- Complete blood count (CBC) to monitor for anemia
- Cystoscopic evaluations every 3 to 6 months after treatment
- Urine cytology evaluations (for people whose bladder has not been removed)
How well a patient does depends on the initial stage and response to treatment of the bladder cancer. The outlook for stage 0 or I cancers is fairly good. Although the risk of the cancer returning is high, most bladder cancers that return can be surgically removed and cured.
The cure rates for people with stage III tumors are less than 50%. Patients with stage IV bladder cancer are rarely cured.
Possible Complications
Bladder cancers may spread into the nearby organs. They may also travel through the pelvic lymph nodes and spread to the liver, lungs, and bones. Additional complications of bladder cancer include:
- Anemia
- Swelling of the ureters (hydronephrosis)
- Urethral stricture
- Urinary incontinence
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have blood in your urine or other symptoms of bladder cancer, including:
- Frequent urination
- Painful urination
- Urgent need to urinate
Also, call your health care provider for an appointment if:
- You are exposed to possible cancer-causing chemicals at work
- You smoke
Quitting cigarette smoking and eliminating environmental hazards will reduce your risk of developing bladder cancer.

GOP Voters Should Be Wary As "Nanny State Republican" Shirley Horton Files For BOE
Southern California Republicans who believe in a limited role for state government, and maximizing freedom and liberty for the people should be VERY alarmed that at literally the last minute former GOP Assemblywoman Shirley Horton ("R" – San Diego) filed papers to run for the Third District Board of Equalization seat currently held by Michelle Steel (who is termed out).
Not too long ago, conservatives faced a tough choice between two rock solid conservative votes in the legislature — Senator Mark Wyland and Assemblywoman Diane Harkey. But recently Wyland dropped out of the race.
But Horton's entry sets up a clear contrast between a fiscally conservative Republican in Harkey, and a "nanny state" big government Republican in Horton.
Here is Horton's highest profile and most egregious vote pulled straight off her own Wikopedia page: "In August 2006, Horton was the only Republican to vote for the landmark global warming legislation, AB 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006."

How Naturopathic Doctors Help You!
Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are primary healthcare providers and, as such, are able to help with almost any health concern. People of all ages with virtually all chronic and most acute conditions may benefit from treatment by a Naturopathic Doctor.
Our health is closely linked to diet, lifestyle, environment, emotional health, and social and spiritual fulfillment! At the Dragonfly Naturopathic Clinic our goal is to help you to understand the factors that affect you and may be preventing you from achieving that feeling of well-being that has eluded you! We have seen patients achieve a level of health and vitality that they have never had before or not since they were quite young! You have the capacity to change your state of health and we can develop plans and be a part of that journey with you!
What to Expect During an Initial Naturopathic Consultation
During the initial one hour consultation, the ND will take a thorough history so that the underlying issues surrounding your condition or concern can be addressed. A physical examination with clothes on (not internal) will also aid the ND in ascertaining what path to take. The ND will then determine which lifestyle, nutritional, herbal, homeopathic or other types of therapy may best suit your case at which point a joint decision with you will be made as to how best to proceed.
The follow-up visits are usually ½ hour in length and the 2
visit will usually be within 3-4 weeks of the initial consultation. During that time the ND may ask you to get blood tests or other information gathering as well as start the initial treatment protocol. During the second visit a full plan is usually completed and you will generally not need to return for at least another month.

Minnan phrasebook
Minnan hua or Southern Min (閩南話 bân-lâm-ōe) is the Chinese dialect of the Southern part of Fujian province, the area around Xiamen and Quanzhou. A variant is widely spoken in Taiwan where it is referred to as Taiwanese (臺彎話 tâi-oan-ōe). Another variant is also spoken widely in the Philippines where it is referred to as Lan Nang Oe (咱人話 lán-lâng-ōe). In Singapore, Malaysia and Medan, the Minnan dialects excluding Teochew are called Hokkien (福建話 hok-kiàn-ōe), the Minnan pronunciation of 'Fujian'. Note that this list is based on the Xiamen version of Minnan. The dialects spoken in Taiwan, other parts of mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia, Medan and other Chinese communities have some differences, due to borrowing of words from different languages and sometimes language evolution due to relative isolation. Most notably, Minnan spoken in Taiwan has borrowed some words from Japanese, so "uncle" could be said as "ojisan" in Taiwan instead of 阿伯 "a-pek" (father's elder brother), 阿叔 "a-chek" or 阿舅 "a-kū" (mother's brother) as in Xiamen. The variant spoken in Zhangzhou, Fujian province has some subtle differences from the Xiamen varient but is largely mutually intelligible (eg. kiam nui instead of kiam neng for salted egg). Yet another well known variant is the Teochew dialect spoken around Chaozhou and Shantou in Guangdong, and by large foreign Chinese Teochew communities around the world including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and France which is significantly different (eg. chı̍t-kâi-nâng instead of chı̍t-ê-lâng for '一個人') but is still mutually intelligible with the Xiamen variant to a small degree. The variants spoken in Singapore and Malaysia are also known to have extensive borrowing from Malay and to a lesser extent Cantonese and English. While the Hainanese dialect spoken on the island of Hainan is grouped under Minnan by many linguists, it differs more significantly and is not mutually intelligible with any of the other variants of Minnan. It can be said to be mutually unintelligible with standard Mandarin and other dialects not only due to the pronunciation differences but also because of the irregular word/character conversion i.e. a non-native Minnan speaker can only understand the dialect to a small extent even when it is presented in written form (e.g. "吃甲尚好驚血壓高,水姆兌人走" : 《陳雷.歡喜就好》) It is also not mutually intelligible with the other branches of the Min dialect family such as Mindong, Minbei and Puxian.
[edit] PronunciationLike all other Chinese languages and their dialects, Minnan uses Chinese characters but employs its own 'unique' pronunciation. However, it should be noted that similar to Japanese kanji, most characters have two or more pronunciations in Minnan, which means that many characters would be pronounced differently depending on context, even if their Mandarin pronunciation remains the same in both instances. This is partly due to the fact that, because standard written Chinese is based on Mandarin, many words in Minnan are written with characters of the same meaning in standard written Chinese. For example, the words ài and beh both roughly mean 'want', so they are usually written with the character 要 (although they are also written with 愛 and 欲 respectively). Consequently, the pronuncation of the character 要 can change between ài, beh and iàu depending on context. The ordinary word for person, lâng, is usually written with the character 人, which also has the reading jı̂n or lîn. The character 生 is is pronounced seⁿ or siⁿ as a verb used alone, but the word 人生 is pronounced lı̂n-seng. Also, note how the words m̄ (is not, does not) and bē/bōe (cannot) are all often written with 不, so while 不要 might be read as m̄-ài or m̄-beh, 不能/不可 can be read as bē-sái or bōe-sái. For referring to oneself, 我 góa is used in more informal context while 阮 gún is more formal and 恁爸 lı́n-pē is very derogatory but used very commonly. (No cognates exist in Mandarin or Cantonese although phrases with the same meaning do.) Similar to Malay, there are two equivalents of the English word "we", with lan-nang including the listener in the group, and goa-nang used to exclude the listener from the group. Pronunciation varies from region to region (e.g. 你 (you) can be either lı́ and lú). This can make comprehension difficult sometimes even between 'native' speakers from different regions. It should also be kept in mind that most speakers of the dialect often mix Mandarin phrases into their speech due to the influence of Standard Mandarin. [edit] TonesLike other varieties of Chinese, Minnan is tonal; tones must be correct in order to convey the correct meaning. Tone sandhi is particularly common and non-standardised in Minnan, which makes it a little harder to learn than Mandarin, where tone sandhi is standardised, and Cantonese, where tone sandhi is used sparingly. The following table shows the values of the different tones in some places, and does not show the pronunciation of the tones or tone sandhi of many areas, but may give an idea of the approximate values.
[edit] ConsonantsMinnan has many different consonants, even more so than standard Mandarin or Cantonese, and pronouncing them all correctly is a challenge for English speakers. While Mandarin only distinguishes between aspirated and unaspirated (unvoiced) consonants, and English only distinguishes between voiced and unvoiced consonants meaning-wise, Minnan makes a distinction in both cases. This means that aspirated unvoiced (pʰ, tʰ, kʰ), unaspirated unvoiced (p, t, k), and unaspirated voiced (b, d, g) are all separate phonemic consonants in Minnan. To highlight the distinction, the words for "open" (開) and "close" (關), in some pronunciations (khui and kui respectively) sound almost identical to a native English speaker, only difference being that "open" uses an aspirated initial k while "close" uses an unaspirated initial k! The j sound in English is also used along with the j sound in Mandarin hanyu pinyin. Labial initials such as the m sound are also present. However, unlike in Mandarin, there is no "tongue rolling" (pinyin r) initial consonant.
Like Cantonese but unlike Mandarin, Minnan retains all the final consonants (m, n, ŋ, p, t, and k) of Middle Chinese. In POJ, the nasal consonants m, n and ng are pronounced the same as English, but the others are different. The stop consonants p, t and k are unreleased. This means that the mouth moves into the position of making the consonant, but no burst of air is released. Furthermore, an h at the end of a syllable in POJ represents a glottal stop (ʔ); this is the sound in the middle of the English word 'uh-oh'. [edit] VowelsThe vowels a, e, i, o, u are pronounced as they are in many languages, such as Spanish. Minnan also has the vowel [ɔ] written as o͘ (with a dot) or oo.
Vowels in Minnan can be nasalized, and in POJ this is indicated with a superscript n 'ⁿ' after the vowel. It can also be indicated with a capital n (N) or a double n (nn). IPA notes this with a tilde (~) above the last vowel. [edit] Common diphthongsThere are many dipthongs in Minnan, and there pronunciation from the POJ spelling is generally fairly obvious. However, note that oe is "ui/uei" and oai is "uai".
[edit] Phrase list
[edit] Basics
[edit] Problems
[edit] NumbersNumbers in Minnan are basically the same as numbers in other varieties of Chinese. Please note the rules about when to use the two different words for 2 (nn̄g and jī). Jī is used in the ones, tens and hundreds place, whereas nn̄g is used for multiples of numbers 100 and greater. This is analogous to the use of 兩 and 二 in mandarin.
[edit] Ordinal NumbersOrdinal numbers in Chinese are expressed by prepending the number with '第', pronounced tē in Minnan.

With a double digit lead, the Celtics were looking good in the first half. But things fell apart in the 2nd half and the Hornets pulled off the upset win.
So let me get this straight. We almost beat the Heat without Kevin Garnett then we go out and lose to the Hornets/Pelicans with him? Yeah, that makes all the sense in the world. I like our chances against the 72 win Bulls but I'm sure we'd lose to the 2012 Bobcats (oddly enough, both involve Michael Jordan). Another bi-polar day for a bi-polar team.
Green Street » Stung again: Celtics blow 13-point second-half lead, lose to lowly Hornets
Anthony Davis – the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft – tipped in the go-ahead basket with 0.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter to allow the Hornets to nip the Celtics, 87-86, Wednesday night in New Orleans. The Hornets were able to sweep the season series with the Celtics this season. The Celtics could managed just 31 points in the second half and lost their second straight, with road games in Dallas and Memphis on tap for Friday and Saturday nights.

By Barbara Kollmeyer and Polya Lesova, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock futures edged lower on Monday after five weeks of gains, as Japan reported a sharp deceleration in growth and a broker cut forecasts for China's economic expansion.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 26 points to 13,146 and those on the Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped 2.80 points to 1,399.4. Futures for the Nasdaq-100 index fell 2 points to 2,719.
Investors appeared to pause Monday after the S&P 500 index /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +0.05% gained 1.1% last week, posting its fifth week of gains.
With most corporate results out of the way, investors focused on signs of more sluggishness in the global economy. Gross domestic product in Japan grew at an annualized 1.4% pace in the three months to June, in sharp contrast to an upwardly revised 5.5% expansion in the prior quarter. Economists had projected growth of 2.7%. Read Japan's economic growth weakens sharply.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK +0.92% fell 0.1% overnight, while mainland China stocks tumbled to lead Asia markets lower, with the Shanghai Composite Index /quotes/zigman/1858913/realtime CN:000001 +0.28% off 1.5% to 2,136.08, on some disappointment that Beijing officials didn't ease monetary policy over the weekend.

• Come on, ECB: Tell us what you really think
Adding to pressure, Bank of America Merrill Lynch on Monday cut its 2012 growth estimate for China, to 7.7% from 8% previously. It comes on the heels of similar moves by other brokerages.
The investment bank also cut estimates for third- and fourth-quarter expansion, citing what it said were constraints to further policy easing. Read China stocks hit by weak outlook, lead Asia lower
"Most investors remain convinced that central banks will respond to any economic slowdown by intervening further," said Fawad Razaqzada, market strategist at GFT Markets, in a research note. This is causing investors to ease back into equities on a longer-term basis, he said, despite China jitters and upcoming U.S. presidential election uncertainty.
"Even a lackluster second-quarter U.S. earnings season has failed to dampen overall buying interest, although U.S. stock indexes may now have to consolidate before making an assault on the highs achieved earlier this year," said Razaqzada.
There are no data on the calendar in the U.S. for Monday. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 index /quotes/zigman/2380150/realtime XX:SXXP -1.25% fell 0.3% in intraday trade.
Groupon, Cisco and retail sales
Two very different tech investing stories will play out this week, as Groupon and Cisco Systems release quarterly results.
On the U.S. corporate front, shares of Groupon Inc. /quotes/zigman/7212269/delayed/quotes/nls/grpn GRPN +0.94% rose 5% in premarket trade ahead of results due after the closing bell on Wall Street. Shares rallied nearly 12% on Friday.
U.S.-listed shares of Elan Corp. PLC rose nearly 4% in preopen action. Elan's board approved plans for spinning off drug-discovery unit Neotope Biosciences.
Shares of Facebook Inc. /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed/quotes/nls/fb FB -1.47% gained 1.5% after Reed Hastings, the chief executive of Netflix Inc. /quotes/zigman/87598/delayed/quotes/nls/nflx NFLX -0.48% and a Facebook director, said he has acquired $1 million in the social media company. The stock buys were revealed in a regulatory filing Friday.
Shares of Google Inc. /quotes/zigman/93888/delayed/quotes/nls/goog GOOG -0.40% edged higher after the Internet-search giant said it will slash about 20% of Motorola Mobility's work force, or 4,000 positions. Google acquired the phone maker in May.
In other trading, crude oil for September delivery gained 75 cents to $93.62 a barrel.
The euro /quotes/zigman/4867933/realtime/sampled EURUSD +0.1009% climbed against the dollar to $1.2342.

Shadowmere is Astrid's personal horse, received during The Cure for Madness, a Dark Brotherhood quest. Shadowmere has more health than any of the other horses in Skyrim and regenerates health extremely quickly. His introduction is rife with macabre undertones: rising up from the bubbling dark waters and black smoke. His appearance also has a strong Dark Brotherhood theme, with glowing red eyes and black hand-prints on his saddle blanket. Astrid claims that the horse is "One of us."
Shadowmere is not essential and can die, unlike his counterpart in Oblivion. However, 10 days later, he will respawn at the location of his death. If Shadowmere dies in a river or lake, he will respawn after 10 days in the black pool near the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. [verification needed]
[edit] Related Quests
- The Cure for Madness: Confront the traitor among the Dark Brotherhood.
[edit] Notes
- When summoned, the spirit of Lucien Lachance will sometimes greet Shadowmere as "Shadowmere, my old and dear friend."
- Because of his high health (1637) and his ability to rapidly regenerate health (82 hp/s normal, 368 hp/s in riderless combat)[verification needed — see talk page], Shadowmere can defeat low to mid-level enemies despite his low damage output (10 per attack). However this low damage output makes him vulnerable in prolonged combat with enemies that have extreme damage dealing capabilities such as Ancient Dragons. Falling from a great height will also kill him.
- Though Shadowmere is implied to be the same horse in both games, it is referred to as a female in Oblivion but as a male in Skyrim. His color has also changed to black from a purplish color. No explanation is given for these differences.
- Shadowmere's health was initially 887, but this was silently raised by 750 points in patch 1.8.
[edit] Bugs
- When completing the subquest to gain Shadowmere, having a purchased horse with you can cause Shadowmere not to appear.
- Shadowmere can be debugged after this happens by fast traveling to the stable of origin of the last owned horse. Shadowmere will appear here for a second and then vanish, and reappears permanently when you fast-travel back to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. If you completed Stabilized in favor of Shadr, Shadowmere will first appear at the Riften stables.
- If you have the horse Frost from the quest Promises to Keep, Shadowmere may not appear and fast traveling back to Black-Briar Lodge stables or Riften stables has no effect. Shadowmere will respawn by the sanctuary pool on your return from Solitude at the end of To Kill an Empire.
- Open the console, type
prid 0009ccd8
and thenmoveto player
to bring Shadowmere to your location. If this doesn't work, useplayer.placeatme 0009ccd7
to create a new Shadowmere at your location.
- After summoning the Spectral Assassin, Shadowmere may disappear or refuse to follow you.
- Shadowmere may not respawn after dying.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Dale Penny
"This exciting combination of ingredients is easy to make! Garbanzo beans, spinach, and potatoes are blended in a richly spiced, creamy vegetable broth base."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/3 quarts vegetable stock
3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons corn meal
1/2 pound spinach, rinsed and chopped
ground cayenne pepper to taste
salt to taste
I have the original cookbook from which this recipe was taken - it's been modified a bit here from the source. The original calls out 2/3 cup of heavy (whipping) cream, not 1 cup. And as you might have guessed, the "corn meal" is a typo, that should be corn starch. The prep time has been understated a little - don't underestimate the time required to chop 4 cloves, 1 onion and _finely_ chop 3 potatoes. This is a wonderful soup, always a huge hit with guests. Be careful with the cayenne pepper though! 1/2 tsp with a full recipe will make it plenty spicy, add more at your own risk.
Made with cornstarch, canned potatoes, cannelini beans, and frozen spinach.1/2 tspn cayenne was too spicy, would add less next time. Felt it tasted a little too 'powdery', like the cumin wasn't cooked properly (would suggest adding cumin immediately to onions & garlic to help the powder flavor of the cumin cook out). I'm Indian and have cooked with ground cumin and ground coriander quite a bit and should have known better. Overall, a pretty good recipe, healthy, and different.
56 Ratings
Really great soup! Added a little extra seasoning and substituted corn starch for the corn meal and skim milk for the heavy cream. I did not blend the soup at all. Turned out to be a thick and creamy soup. I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch this week!
Wonderful recipe! I used chicken stock instead of veg, peanut butter instead of tahini, and half skim milk/half cream to cut the calories. Can't wait to make it again!
I loved this recipe! I did make a change, based on spices on hand. I used turmeric instead of coriander.
I wasn't sure if you should blend the soup or not. I slightly blended the soup and then added the spinich and it turned out well.
Delicious! I made this soup last night and it was hearty and perfect for a cold winter's night. I only made a few changes - I added a lot more garlic, couldn't find any coriander, added half a cup of sour cream and half a cup of reduced fat milk instead of heavy cream, and that's it. Next time I might add more vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, carrots. Highly recommended!
I love this soup! I added red peppers which make the soup very colorful and tasty. It's one of my husband and my mother-in-laws favorites!

Genres: Drama, Sports, Snow Sports, Criterion Collection, Sports Drama
Cast: Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Ian Whittaker, Richard Harris
Director: Michael Ritchie
Synopsis: Astonishing Alpine location photography and a young Robert Redford in one of his earliest starring roles are just two of the visual splendors of Michael Ritchie's visceral debut feature, DOWNHILL RACER. In a beautifully understated performance, Redford is David Chappellet, a ruthlessly ambitious skier competing with an underdog American team in Europe for Olympic gold, and Gene Hackman provides tough support as the coach who tries to temper the upstart's narcissistic drive for glory. With a subtle screenplay by acclaimed novelist James Salter, DOWNHILL RACER is a vivid character portrait buoyed by breathtakingly fast and furious imagery that brings the viewer directly into the mind of the competitor.

Georgia Water Science Center
Groundwater Monitoring Program for the Brunswick-Glynn County Area, Georgia
Project Chief: Gregory S. Cherry ProblemIn the Brunswick area, saltwater has contaminated the Upper Floridan aquifer for nearly 50 years. Currently within an area of several square miles in downtown Brunswick, the aquifer yields water with a chloride concentration greater than 2,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L), above the State and Federal secondary drinking-water standard of 250 mg/L (Georgia Environmental Protection Division, 1997; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2000). Saltwater contamination has constrained further development of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the Brunswick area, which has stimulated interest in the development of alternative sources of water supply, primarily from the shallower surficial and Brunswick aquifer systems.

Easy to make and very yummy. I use cider vinegar.
Reviewed Sep. 24, 2010
I have to admit that ketchup, vinegar, oil, & sugar mixed together sounded pretty gross. However, I had these ingredients on hand and no bottled dressing so I tried it and everyone LOVED it. I used it on a bag of salad that had carrots and purple cabbage and I added fresh tomatoes from my garden. I will be using this recipe often. I just won't tell anyone that there is ketchup in the dressing : )
