How is adrenal cancer diagnosed?
Signs and symptoms of adrenal cancers
In about half of people with adrenal cancer, symptoms are caused by the hormones made by the tumor. In the other half, symptoms occur because the tumor has grown so large that it presses on nearby organs. If you or your child has any of the signs or symptoms described in this section, discuss them with your doctor without delay. These symptoms may be caused by an adrenal tumor or by something else. Getting the proper medical tests is the only way to find out. The sooner you get a correct diagnosis, the sooner you can start treatment and the more effective your treatment will be.
Symptoms caused by androgen or estrogen production
In children, the symptoms are most often caused by the androgens (male-type hormones) that the tumor might secrete. The most common symptoms are excessive growth of facial and body hair (such as in the pubic and underarm area). The male hormones may also cause enlargement of the penis in boys or the clitoris in girls. If the tumor secretes estrogens (female-type hormones), it can cause girls to start puberty early. This can cause the breasts to develop and menstrual periods to start. In boys, estrogen-producing tumors may cause breast enlargement.
In adults, the symptoms from high levels of sex hormones are less noticeable because they have already gone through puberty and have breasts and adult patterns of body hair. Women with estrogen-producing tumors and men with androgen-producing tumors usually do not have any symptoms from the hormones, and so may have no symptoms until the tumor is large enough to press on nearby organs.
Symptoms are easier to notice if the tumor is making the hormone usually found in the opposite sex. For example, men with tumors that make estrogen (female hormone) may notice breast enlargement with tenderness. They may also have sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction (impotence) and loss of sex drive. Women with tumors that make androgens (male hormones) may notice excessive facial and body hair growth, receding hairline, irregular menstrual periods, and deepening of their voice.
Symptoms caused by cortisol production
Excessive levels of cortisol causes a problem known as Cushing syndrome. Some people have all of these symptoms, but many people with high cortisol levels have only 1 or 2 symptoms. These signs and symptoms include:
- Weight gain, usually greatest above the collar bone and around the abdomen
- Fat deposits behind the neck and shoulders
- Purple stretch marks on the abdomen
- Excessive hair growth on the face, chest, and back in women
- Menstrual irregularities
- Weakness and loss of muscle mass in the legs
- Easy bruising
- Depression and/or moodiness
- Weakened bones (osteoporosis), which can lead to fractures
- High blood sugar, often leading to diabetes
- High blood pressure
Cushing syndrome may be caused by an adrenal cancer or an adrenal adenoma that produces high levels of cortisol and/or related hormones. Benign pituitary gland tumors can produce high levels of another hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This is often called Cushing disease. The high levels of ACTH in turn cause normal adrenal gland tissue to produce more cortisol. This results in the same symptoms as Cushing syndrome. Very rarely ACTH can be produced by other tumors and cause the same symptoms.
Some people with immune system problems or some cancers, such as lymphomas, are treated with drugs chemically related to cortisol. Because there are so many causes of high cortisol levels that can lead to Cushing syndrome, doctors do a number of blood tests, urine tests, and imaging tests to find out whether the patient has an adrenal cortical tumor or some other cause of Cushing syndrome.
Symptoms caused by aldosterone production
The main signs and symptoms caused by aldosterone-producing adrenal tumors are high blood pressure, weakness, muscle cramps, and low blood potassium levels. Adrenal adenomas often produce this hormone, but adrenal cancers rarely do so.
Symptoms caused by a large adrenal cancer pressing on nearby organs
As an adrenal cancer grows, it presses on nearby organs and tissues. This may cause pain near the tumor, a feeling of fullness in the abdomen, or trouble eating because of a feeling of filling up easily.
Medical history and physical exam
The first step is to take your complete medical history to check for any symptoms. Your doctor will want to know if anyone in your family has had adrenal cancer or any other type of cancer. Your doctor will also ask about your menstrual or sexual function and about any other symptoms that you may be having. A physical exam will give other information about signs of adrenal gland cancer and other health problems. Your doctor will thoroughly examine your abdomen for evidence of a tumor (or mass).
Your blood and urine will be tested to look for high levels of the hormones produced by some adrenal adenomas and carcinomas. If an adrenal tumor or cancer is suspected, imaging tests will be done to look for a tumor. These tests can also help see if it has spread.
If a mass is seen on an imaging test and it is likely to be an adrenal cancer, doctors will recommend surgery to remove the cancer. Generally, doctors do not recommend removing a sample of the tumor to look at under the microscope to see if it is cancer (a biopsy) before surgery to remove the tumor. That is because doing a biopsy can increase the risk that an adrenal cancer will spread outside of the adrenal gland.
Imaging tests
Chest x-ray
This can show if the cancer has spread to the lungs. It may also be useful to determine if there are any serious lung or heart diseases.
Ultrasound tests use sound waves to take pictures of parts of the body. A device called a transducer produces the sound waves, which are reflected by tissues of nearby organs. The pattern of sound wave echoes is detected by the transducer and analyzed by a computer to create an image of these tissues and organs. This test can show if there is a tumor mass in the adrenal gland. It can also diagnose tumor masses in the liver if the cancer has spread there. In general, it is not used to look for adrenal tumors unless a CT scan isn't able to be done.
Computed tomography (CT)
The CT scan is an x-ray procedure that produces detailed cross-sectional images of your body. Instead of taking one picture, like a conventional x-ray, a CT scanner takes many pictures as the camera rotates around you. A computer then combines these pictures into an image of a slice of your body. The machine will take pictures of many slices of the part of your body that is being studied.
CT scans show the adrenal glands fairly clearly and often can confirm the location of the cancer. It can also help show whether your cancer has spread into your liver or other organs nearby. CT scans can also show lymph nodes and distant organs where metastatic cancer might be present. The CT scan can help determine if surgery is a good treatment option.
Before any pictures are taken, you may be asked to drink 1 to 2 pints of a liquid called oral contrast. This helps outline the intestine so that certain areas are not mistaken for tumors. You may also receive an IV (intravenous) line through which a different kind of contrast dye (IV contrast) is injected. This helps better outline structures in your body.
The injection can cause some flushing (redness and warm feeling that may last hours to days). A few people are allergic to the dye and get hives. Rarely, more serious reactions like trouble breathing and low blood pressure can occur. Medicine can be given to prevent and treat allergic reactions. Be sure to tell the doctor if you have ever had a reaction to any contrast material used for x-rays.
CT scans can also be used to precisely guide a biopsy needle into a suspected metastasis. For this procedure, called a CT-guided needle biopsy, the patient remains on the CT scanning table, while a radiologist moves a biopsy needle toward the location of the mass. CT scans are repeated until the doctors are sure that the needle is within the mass. A fine needle biopsy sample (tiny fragment of tissue) or a core needle biopsy sample (a thin cylinder of tissue about ½ inch long and less than 1/8 inch in diameter) is removed and examined under a microscope.
CT scans take longer than regular x-rays. You need to lie still on a table while they are being done. During the test, the table slides in and out of the scanner, a ring-shaped machine that completely surrounds the table. You might feel a bit confined by the ring you have to lie in while the pictures are being taken.
Positron emission tomography (PET)
In this test, radioactive glucose (sugar) is injected into the patient's vein. Because cancer cells use sugar much faster than normal tissues, radioactivity will tend to concentrate in the cancer. A scanner can spot the radioactive deposits. This test can be helpful for spotting small collections of cancer cells and may be used to find cancer that has spread. It also may help in deciding if an adrenal tumor is likely to be benign or malignant (cancer).
A special type of PET scan is currently used in research settings. It uses a radioactive form of a substance called metomidate. This substance seems to concentrate in adrenal cortical tissue, particularly adenomas and carcinomas. PET scanning with metomidate may in the future be helpful in distinguishing tumors that start in the adrenal cortex from cancers that started in other organs and then spread to the adrenals. It may also be helpful in finding adrenal cancer that has spread outside the adrenals.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
MRI scans use radio waves and strong magnets instead of x-rays. The energy from the radio waves is absorbed and then released in a pattern formed by the type of tissue and by certain diseases. A computer translates the pattern of radio waves given off by the tissues into a very detailed image of parts of the body. Not only does this produce cross sectional slices of the body like a CT scanner, it can also produce slices that are parallel with the length of your body. For some MRI scans, a contrast material called gadolinium is injected into a vein (IV). MRI may sometimes provide more information than CT scans because it can better distinguish adrenal cancers from benign tumors.
MRI scans are particularly helpful in examining the brain and spinal cord. In people with suspected adrenal tumors, an MRI of the brain may be done to examine the pituitary gland. Tumors of the pituitary gland, which lies underneath the front of the brain, can cause symptoms and signs similar to adrenal tumors.
MRI scans are a little more uncomfortable than CT scans. First, they often take up to an hour. You have to be placed inside a tube, which is confining and can upset people who become anxious in tight spaces (claustrophobia). If you have problems with tight spaces, tell your doctor before your MRI. Medicine may be given before the scan to help with anxiety. If that doesn't work, the exam may be scheduled at an open MRI scanner. These machines are not so enclosing and so are easier for some patients, although the drawback is that the pictures may not be as good. The machine also makes a thumping noise that you may find disturbing. Some places will provide headphones with music to block this sound out.
Other tests
This procedure uses a laparoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a tiny video camera on the end. It is inserted through a small surgical opening in the patient's side to allow the surgeon to see where the cancer is growing. It can spot distant spread as well as enlarged lymph nodes. Sometimes it is combined with ultrasound to give a better picture of the cancer. Laparoscopy may be done to help predict whether it will be possible to completely remove the cancer by surgery. In addition to viewing adrenal tumors through the laparoscope, surgeons can sometimes remove small benign adrenal tumors through this instrument. This method is described in the section, "Surgery for adrenal cancer."
Imaging tests may find tumors, but often the only way to know for sure that a tumor is cancer is to remove a sample of tumor tissue to look at under the microscope. This is called a biopsy. If a thin needle that only removes tiny bits of tissue is used, it is called a fine needle aspiration, or FNA for short. When a larger needle that removes a thin cylindrical core of tissue is used, it is called a core needle biopsy. In either case, the biopsy is often done using a CT scan or ultrasound to guide the tip of the needle into the tumor.
Since adrenal adenomas and cancers can look alike under the microscope, a biopsy may not be able to tell whether or not an adrenal tumor is cancerous. Also, a needle biopsy of an adrenal cancer can actually spread tumor cells. For these reasons, a biopsy is generally not done before surgery if an adrenal tumor's size and certain features seen on imaging tests suggest it is cancer. Work-up with blood tests for hormone production and imaging studies are more useful than biopsies in the diagnosis of adrenal cancer.
If the cancer appears to have metastasized (spread) to another part of the body such as the liver, then a needle biopsy of the metastasis may be done. If a patient is known to have an adrenal tumor and a liver biopsy shows adrenal cells are present in the liver, then the tumor is cancer.
In general, a biopsy is only obtained in a patient with adrenal cancer when there are tumors outside the adrenals and the doctor needs to know if these are spread (metastases) from an adrenal cancer or are caused by some other cancer or disease. Adrenal tumors are sometimes biopsied when the patient is known to have a different type of cancer (like lung cancer) and knowing that there is spread to the adrenal glands would alter treatment.
Tests for adrenal hormones
Blood and urine tests to measure levels of adrenal hormones are important in deciding whether a patient with signs and symptoms of adrenal cancer has the disease. For urine tests, you may be asked to collect all of your urine for 24 hours. Blood and urine tests are as important as imaging studies in the diagnostic work-up of adrenal cancer. Doctors choose which tests to do based on the patient's symptoms. Doctors know which symptoms are associated with high levels of certain hormones, so they can focus on ways to look for the hormones most likely to be affected. Often doctors will check hormone levels even when symptoms of high hormone levels are not present. This is because symptoms of abnormal hormone levels can be very subtle and blood tests may even be able to detect changes in hormone levels before symptoms occur.
Tests for high cortisol levels
The tests used in this case include measuring levels of cortisol in the blood and in the urine. If an adrenal tumor is making cortisol, these levels will be abnormally high. These tests may be done after giving the patient a dose of dexamethasone. Dexamethasone is a drug that acts like cortisol. If given to someone who does not have an adrenal tumor, it will decrease production of cortisol and similar hormones. In someone with an adrenal cortex tumor, these hormone levels will remain high after they receive dexamethasone. Blood levels of ACTH will also be measured to help distinguish adrenal tumors from other diseases that can cause high cortisol levels.
Tests for high aldosterone levels
The level of aldosterone will be measured and will be high if the tumor is making aldosterone. Also, high aldosterone leads to low levels of potassium and renin (a hormone produced by the kidneys) in their blood.
Tests for high androgen or estrogen levels
Patients with androgen-producing tumors will have high levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) or testosterone and patients with estrogen-producing tumors will have high levels of estrogen in their blood.

As unexplained factors in the tragic Sandy Hook school shooting continue to surface, independent researchers have pointed to an odd clip where Robbie Parker, father of slain 6-year-old Emilie Parker, asks if he should read off of a card, and is told that he should, during a press conference that took place the day after Friday's shooting.
The Huffington Post described Parker's heartfelt statement as "fighting back tears and struggling to catch his breath," though he can be seen cracking a smile and brief laugh just before approaching the microphone. The full press conference can be viewed here.
Is the establishment media trying to steer the victims' reactions?
Statement from Alex Jones: "My deepest condolences go out to Mr. Parker and the rest of his family, as well as all the other families suffering from this tragedy. It appears that members of the media or government have given him a card and are telling him what to say as they steer reaction to this event, so this needs to be looked into."

Kismayu, Somalia - It's ten minutes past 10 AM, and Hussein Mohamed is sitting in the driver's seat of a half-empty sixteen-seater minibus parked at an almost deserted bus station in Kismayu - Somalia's third-biggest city. Two times a day for six days a week over the past five years, Mohamed has driven his minibus between Kismayu and Jilib, a town 114km north of Kismayu, ferrying commuters. But since late last September, Mohamed has only been able to make the trip once every week.Kismayu was in the hands of the hardline rebel group al-Shabab until September last year. Under pressure from the Ras Kamboni brigade - the Somali government's allied militia group - and Kenyan troops, al-Shabab retreated from the port city. It still, however, controls many of the nearby towns and villages. Mohamed's route has been divided between the two fighting groups, with some in the hands of the Kenyan-backed Ras Kamboni and others in al-Shabab's.This has made business very risky for Mohamed and has put new financial pressure on him - not just by limiting the amount of trips he can take, but also by forcing him to pay a toll to both sides. "Before there was only one group controlling the whole of this area, and I only dealt with them," said Mohamed. "Now there's al-Shabab, Ras Kamboni and Kenyan troops in this part of the country. For business, it is better and cheaper to deal with just one group."
Crossing an active frontline
"Sometimes we spend a whole day [at the checkpoint]. You don't know what they want, and they can decide to keep you and your minibus."
- Mohamed Nuur, minibus driver
To get from Kismayu to Jilib, Mohamed has to cross an active frontline and at least 10 checkpoints manned by gunmen from the different groups. "You can drive past a village in the morning, and when coming back in the evening it is in the hands of a different group. If you are unlucky, you can drive into a battle between the groups as they fight for villages."Part of the tarmac road from Kismayu to Mogadishu via Jilib has been closed, meaning drivers are forced to take a dirt road that triples their journey time and fuel costs. "We used to spend two hours, but now we spend a minimum of six hours," said Mohamed Nuur, a fellow minibus driver who now works two days a week because of the reduced passenger numbers. "Sometimes we spend a whole day [at the checkpoint]. You don't know what they want, and they can decide to keep you and your minibus," Nuur added. Passengers are also paying for the increased fuel costs and journey time. "Before this war I used to pay $3.50 for the journey to Jilib, but now I pay $7, so I'm forced to travel less often," said Hassan Bashir, a charcoal trader who used to travel to Jilib three times a week but now travels once every two weeks.
Before the war, at least 300 passengers used to travel this route every day using minibuses. Now, there's only a trickle of passengers, sometimes not enough to fill one minibus. "People are staying away because no one wants to be caught up in this war," said Hassan Imran, the ticket seller at the bus station.Abdinasir Serar, the spokesman for Ras Kamboni, the group that now controls Kismayu, says the road closure is necessary and blames al-Shabab for the problems faced by the people. "We had to close the tarmac road for safety reasons and for the benefit of the whole city. If we open the road al Shabab will use it to attack the city," said Serar."We are still fighting al-Shabab. When we defeat them, we will open the road." Al-Shabab, which still controls significant parts of the Juba regions, refutes this claim. "If they allege that the road was closed to prevent the mujahideen [fighters] from using it, then it is worth mentioning that there are literally hundreds of roads that we can use for the same purpose," said Sheikh Hudaifa Abdirahman, the al-Shabab governor of Juba region."We categorically reject the allegations of the apostate militia and do not take any responsibility whatsoever for the closure of Kismaayo-Jilib road. Full responsibility for the closure of that road must lie with the militia who closed it," he added.
Declining numbersHowever, not everyone in Kismayu is unhappy with these developments in this part of the country. Muhidin Hassan, a mechanic at Sheikh Ali garage, is managing to turn a profit off the fact that drivers must now use the dirt road. "Since the road has been closed, we see many vehicles with problems. Our business is very good. I have recruited two new mechanics to help me with the increased workload."Vehicles going to Mogadishu, the Somali capital more than 500km away, also have to use this route. Before the start of the war, hundreds of personal vehicles made the journey between the two cities using this route every week.But the number has now declined significantly. Abdi Noor Ali, a lorry driver that carries goods from Kismayu to Mogadishu, said, "This war is not good for anyone. Drivers, passengers and business people: everyone is affected badly. For me, every trip might be my last one because you don't know what you may find on the road."Sitting on top of sacks of potatoes at the back of Ali's lorry for the journey is 50-year-old Deeqa Ahmed, a struggling grocery seller. "They [the fighting young men] are dying because they are killing each other, and we will die because their war will stop us from making money to feed our families. War is no good," Ahmed said, shaking her head.For minibus driver Mohamed, all he wants is for the fighting to stop so he can go back to his normal routine. "I don't care who wins or controls this area. All I want is for peace to return so I can go back to making a decent living."Follow Hamza Mohamed on Twitter: @Hamza_Africa

The move is the first EU Joint Programming Initiative designed to address the "grand challenges" which policymakers say cannot be tackled by any one member state acting alone.
National science funding agencies will pool resources and expertise to devise a strategy to find new treatments and preventative measures for age-related illnesses.
Currently, 16% of the European population is over 65, and this figure is expected to reach 25% by 2030. In 2006, it was estimated that neurodegenerative diseases cost European health services approximately €72 billion to treat.
The EU commissioner for research, innovation and science, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, said demographic changes mean new solutions will be needed to tackle diseases associated with ageing.
She added that Europe's ageing population poses serious economic challenges but also presents opportunities for new products and services.
"By making research more efficient and avoiding duplication of work, the Joint Programme will increase the prospects of real progress in preventing and treating these diseases. The lessons learned will then be used to inform research efforts in other areas," she said.
The European Commission will be supporting the work of the initiative through a coordinating action with an EU contribution of close to €2 million.
Meanwhile, the EU will contribute €21 million for two new research projects on cancer as part of an international consortium focused on genomics. The research will look at mutations to genes associated with cancer and is run by the International Cancer Genome Consortium.

What a tough choice! I love both names. I actually prefer Margot with Leo, despite the "o" ending sounds being the same. I just think Margot and Leo have a more similar style than Leo and Caroline. If it was Leopold, I would go with Caroline. But for just Leo, I like Margot. Margot Caroline is lovely!

I am super excited that you have narrowed it down to Caroline and Margot which are of course my two names. I think Caroline Margot flows better but there is absolutely no reason that you can't use Margot as her everyday name. Hardly anyone calls me by my first name now, I am known as Margot to all.
I also have a cousin and he goes by his middle name. I don't fine it strange at all to use the middle all the time.
However if it bothers you just go with Margot Caroline, otherwise just inform everyone that she will be known as Margot.
Please post in our Birth Announcements section when she is born.
Either way she is a lucky girl.

Thank you guys so much for your help so far!
We plan on having 3 or 4 kids so I want to save our favorite names in case we have more girls. Margot Caroline/Caroline Margot are beautiful combinations though!
You guys seem more split on this vs than my other ones and I am still having a hard time deciding as well! So any other thoughts or opinions are welcome. Although what one poster said several posts back about Caroline seeming more ordinary (but still gorgeous) while Margot is more exciting is something I have really been thinking about. So thank you!~Beautiful son Leo Alexander born 2012~

Ooooo I love both! I guess it depends on what you're going for. Caroline is girly, elegant, french, and dainty. Margot is classy but not as proper sounding as Caroline, but has more spunk and personality than Caroline. Just something to think about. I really do love both names, theyre adorable. You have great taste

5:00pm Wednesday 19th February 2014 in Winchester
POLICE are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a missing man from near Alresford.
Michael Bateman, 28, of Medstead, has not been seen since February 15 when he left home.
Police are appealing for the public help, and officers are concerned as it is believed he did not take his regular medication, money or phone with him.
Mr Bateman is described as white, six foot three inches tall, slim build, with blue eyes, a tanned complexion, short brown hair, a beard and moustache, wearing a red flannel shirt, blue pinstripe jeans, brown boots and possibly a blue hat.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact PC Karl Odgers at Alton by calling 101.

1951™ Chair
Price: $380.00Overview
Design by BMW Group Designworks USA.
Made in Hanover, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. by Emeco.
The 1951™ Chair was inspired by an original Emeco chair made for Navy hospitals in 1951. This modern version retains the classic Emeco DNA combined with dynamic new materials for the seat and back. Brushed, anodized aluminum frame with durable ABS or wood laminate seat and back. Stacks 6 high. Available in seven ABS colors and three wood laminates. White and Gray ABS are suitable for outdoor use.
1951™ is part of the permanent collection of the Cooper Hewitt National Design Gallery, NYC.
Handmade from 80% recycled aluminum. Designed to last for 150 years. 1951™ Chairs are tempered for ultimate strength in a proprietary 77-step process. Emeco is the only company in the world to do this.
Covered by Emeco's 7-year limited warranty.
Eco Friendly
Material(s): 80% Recycled aluminum, ABS plastic, wood laminate
- Seat Height: 18" H
- Weight: 8 lbs (ABS); 8.5 lbs (wood laminate)
Designer: BMW Group Designworks USA
BMW Group DesignworksUSA brings a unique approach to design. Born out of the cutting-edge vitality of Southern California's design and car culture, and continually enriching itself with the highest levels of global design expertise, DesignworksUSA has enjoyed thirty-plus years as a leading, award winning strategic design consultancy.
"Emeco planned a re-issue of an old chair from 1951, but we quickly agreed that Emeco should create a version of '1951' that retained Emeco's DNA, yet looked forward, Gregg (Buchbinder) instinctively knows what is good for Emeco and we agreed that the modernization of the original chair would be 100 % Classic Emeco - simple, utilitarian and masculine. Lines and surfaces were discussed at length, as well as the "stance" of the new '1951', which is a lot more dynamic than the original. The design phase that followed was one of the most collaborative and rewarding experiences of my life. I had dealt with similar issues designing modern cars for the Mini and BMW brands, and I have incorporated these ideas. '1951' is the first Emeco product that combines new materials for the seat and back - technically molded ABS plastic, with classic aluminum construction. This will allow customers to add color and simplifies manufacturing - reducing cost. As in good car-design, these added functional elements create a clean, simple and dynamic look that will appeal to customers on an emotional level while projecting strength."

Emeco. Timeless, handmade chairs, made in the U.S.A. from recycled materials.
Emeco has an interesting history beginning in 1944 with the 1006 Navy chair, the granddaddy of Emeco that was designed to withstand the harsh environment on a Navy ship, including water, salt air, and sailors. (Legend has it, the seat of the Emeco 1006 Navy Chair was modeled after the seat of actress Betty Grable.) Since then Emeco has had some new editions, designed by some good friends: Philippe Starck, Frank Gehry, and Ettore Sottsass to name a few.
The creative process behind the development of Emeco products is one that is loose and organic, intuitive, and explorative. The philosophy is rooted in the fact that the search for good design is as much part of the development process as is the forming, welding, and hand finishing of its products. Emeco's designers and manufacturers are equally valued and respected, and their combined dedication, intuition, and skill have uniformly contributed to the company's continuing growth. All Emeco chairs are LEED™ compliant, made of 80% recycled aluminum or 65% rPET. The aluminum chairs have an estimated lifespan of 150 years and a lifetime guarantee.
Emeco is a leader when it comes to chair fabrication. Committed to sustainability and protecting the environment, Emeco uses post consumer and post industrial waste to create chairs with ultimate strength, intended to last for decades. Chairs admired today and indefinitely. Chairs that span generations and cultures.

I heartily recommend Collective Roots in E. Palo Alto, w/pick up in Palo Alto as well as their office on Woodland/Newell. Hyper-local, organic produce, 1/2 orders & full orders, fruit often included. The stone fruit we had last summer was some of the best we ever tasted.
Web Link
Mayfield Cafe has their own farm in Woodside & offers a CSA, pick up at their restaurant. I haven't used it, but I do enjoy their food.
These 2 are likely the most locally sourced CSAs, if that matters to you.
Collective Rots also has office hours & you can check out their office garden. Their flagship garden, at a local school, is impressive & they feature an outdoor oven & cooking classes as well as gardening classes.

(Jeff Gross/Getty Images)
As expected, the Denver Broncos brought in free agent running back Jacob Hester on Monday, presumably signing him to a one-year deal. The team announced the transaction via press release on Monday afternoon.
Additionally, the team signed fellow running back Jeremiah Johnson back to the practice squad, after releasing him last week. With Willis McGahee on the injured reserve list, Hester now fills Denver's roster as the 53rd player.
Hester (5-11, 230 lbs.) is a fifth-year running back who spent his first five seasons in San Diego, gaining 182 yards from scrimmage (4.55 yards-per-touch) and scoring two touchdowns in seven games against the Broncos.
Denver has brought in Hester, now the heaviest back on the Broncos' roster, to add depth to both their backfield and special teams. While with the Chargers, Hester recorded 12 special teams tackles while also recovering four fumbles (scoring on two of his recoveries).
It remains to be seen what Hester's role will...

Durban, December 7: Today, Wedsensday 7 December, 2011, the high-level segment will discuss the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Ministers will put their wise heads together and decide the fate of the GCF, which has had quite a stormy year since its inception at the Cancun CoP in 2010. Their goal is to create what is called a 'cover decision' that adopts the governing instrument and puts in place an interim arrangement until the GCF is finally operational.
Durban, December 6: Remove the firewall at all costs: this sums up what the rich countries are doing in the climate negotiations at Durban to remove the differentiation between past polluters – responsible for climate change impacts currently occurring – and the future polluters, who need ecological space to grow.
This is the core of the politics at the Durban conference on climate change. The rich countries are doing all they can, in different ways, to remove this distinction, for until the distinction remains, they will have to take action first to reduce and create carbon space for the poorer countries to increase their emissions.
Durban, December 6: Speaking at the side of a press briefing organised by UNEP, Chris Huhne, UK Secretary of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change said that equity and per capita entitlement has to be ultimately the basis for a fair climate treaty.
"I have come to Durban with an open mind. But I would like to know whether it would be binding only for mitigation and whether it will be the same for Annex-1 and non-Annex1 countries.
Durban, December 6: The verbal battle of Durban was fought in a plenary at the Nkosi Albert Luthuli Convention Centre.
It was fought on December 5, 2011, 10:00 am to 11:30 am.
Here is a no-holds barred version of the battle.
We apologise for this rather lengthy posting.
It was, after all, a verbal battle.
If you only want to know how India weighed in, rhetorical mace and all, scroll to the last bit.
Thanks for your patience. Here goes:
Durban, December 5:
Q from The Independent: Any circumstances in which China will go for a legally binding global deal to cut emissions?
So far, multilateral talks have been going on for 20 years. Many countries have spent great efforts. The UNFCCC and KP are legally binding documents, all parties are working hard to implement consensus in the Copenhagen Accord. We need a review of all these efforts. We need to base future decisions on current actions and what has been achieved so far. We will consider 2020 only after that.
Durban, December 5: At the AWG-LCA plenary meeting held today, the divide between developed and developing countries turned to a chasm. The purpose of the meeting, called by the Chair of the AWG-LCA, was to solicit the reactions of countries to the 130-page amalgamated text circulated on Saturday. The amalgamated text now forms the basis of negotiations in this negotiating track.
At an informal meeting today between BASIC and AOSIS, the AOSIS group has reportedly given an ultimatum to BASIC, saying that it will not support BASIC unless the major economies come up with some sort of ambitious mitigation targets.
At 1 o'clock on December 3, 2011, halfway through CoP 17, the President of CoP 17 held a plenary to take stock of the work done so far. She first thanked the delegates for the "flexibility" they'd shown so far, thus "allowing work to happen". She was pleased to inform the plenary that work on the Green Climate Fund (GCF) had progressed a lot: indeed, today was a crucial day in the GCF negotiations, such that the Chair wasn't able to attend the 'informal stocktaking', as this particular briefing has been termed.

Durban, December 2: As the UN climate change talks enter the 5th day in Durban, tempo in the negotiation rooms is gradually picking up. While about 50 odd items are being discussed and the chairs of the different groups are trying to piece in the negotiating texts by Saturday, before the high level ministerial segment begins, the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) have proposed a middle-of-the-road solution to keep the climate change talks active. A draft proposal the LDCs submitted advocates a set of parallel treaties that will not only take into account emissions reduction targets for the Annex 1 parties but also for non-Kyoto parties like the United States and emerging economies like China and India.

Well I'm back everyone! Barbara is back! It's like riding a bicycle; a week of work and it feels like I never left! What happened to Cyd? She's getting her Master's degree and has gone back to school full-time. I'm hoping she gets her degree before I become a grandmother.
What's new at the inn: Plans to update the kitchen with granite counters, a new floor, a new stove, and new hardware for the cabinets. Consequently, there will be a period in January when the kitchen is off-limits, but we'll make do.
Who's running the inn in Cape Cod? Well I've got a wonderful band of friends who have come together to make sure everything goes well for the guests willing to BYOB (Bring Your Own Breakfast) this winter. Housekeeping takes place after guests leave and our prices will reflect these sacrifices. My husband Steve expects to be traveling between our property on Cape Cod and the inn out here once the new year rolls in, along with our Boston Terrier concierge, Clara.
Speaking of dogs, we've now designated a few rooms here at the Alexander Hamilton House to be dog-friendly! Well-behaved dogs are now not only welcomed but we urge their owners to plan their stays with us. We provide a crate which only needs to be used if dogs will be left behind while their owners adventure without them. Food and water bowls plus a treat are also left in the room on arrival. This winter, to celebrate our four legged friends, dogs stay free when accompanied by a well-behaved owner. Spring will bring a $10 daily fee. If you or someone you know travels with a dog, come stay with us!

It's 1913 Vienna and Lysander Reif, a young English actor, is in town seeking psychotherapy for a very private sort of ailment. He ends up enmeshed in a passionate affair with an enigmatic woman he meets at his therapist's office. When his lover's live-in boyfriend finds out and becomes enraged, she accuses Lysander of rape and the story gallops away from there. Upon his return to London on the cusp of war, Lysander finds it difficult to return to normal life, breaks up with his English fiancé, joins up and gets pulled into the dangerous world of wartime spying.
I've wanted to read this book ever since I first saw the cover and it was just as good, better even, then I thought it would be based on that skimpy criteria. This is the kind of book I love. Lots of intertwined characters jumping back and forth through time from 1960's Italy to present day Hollywood.
Thinking this would be a light, fun, fluffy read, I brought this along on vacation. It was the perfect beach read, but it turned out to be much more than fluff. This fantastic novel changed gears each time I thought I had it figured out, and in the end I was left with a witty but deep-feeling novel about a loving, eccentric, slightly dysfunctional family. Like P. G. Wodehouse's more biting cousin, The Uninvited Guests is highly recommended.
Although the subtitle is "A Novel of Golf & the Game of Life" you don't have to know, or play, or even like golf (I don't) to thoroughly enjoy this wonderful book (I did.) There was no way I would feel motivated to read a book "about golf." However as a reader who thinks Steven Pressfield is one of our great living thinkers and writers, I was more than ready to accept that this was more than a "sports book." This book is a meditation on what it means to be a man and a human.
An unusual format, a fully illustrated scrapbook, makes this period romance unique. Frankie Pratt receives a scrapbook, her father's old typewriter and a letter of acceptance to Vassar for her high school graduation in 1920 and begins to record her world. Caroline Preston does a remarkable job creating Frankie's voice through the small snippets of conversation and captions she uses on each scrapbook page. True to the way one really keeps a scrapbook it only hits the highlights, an almost disasterous romance before college gets a few gushing pages, the first tough year a
Emily Hudson, a penniless orphan who lost her family to consumption and fever, is forced to accept the grudging hospitality of her aunt and uncle. Emily does not fit into the dour straitlaced Cornford household where the least show of enthusiasm is deemed inappropriate. Her cousin William, a novelist, takes an interest in her watching every emotion and reaction as if thinking about how he would write the scene in a novel, even going so far as to interfere in events to create situations to observe. Ultimately the novel is about how Emily learns to stand up for
In this Dickensian tale Jaffy, a fearless street urchin, is almost eaten by a Bengal tiger. Saved by the titular Jamrach, a jovial dealer in exotic animals who, impressed by his fearlessnes, hires him as a trainer, Jaffy meets slick talking Tim, another Jamrach protege, and his twin sister Ishbel. Tim and Jaffy become best friends. Which does not mean that their relationship is uncomplicated. The fact that Jaffy's heart is captured by Ishbel makes that a given.
Local author Andrew Krivak tells the story Jozef Vinich, who begins life in a bleak 19th century Colorado mining town, only to end up fighting for the Kaiser in World War One. Krivak's debut novel offers the story of a man returning to the roots of his ancestors, finding new family along the way, only to have the horrors of war disrupt all that he had come to take for granted. Krivak packs a lot of emotion into the rather small book.
In 1875, 25-year-old May Dodd is released from an insane asylum and, along with 40-odd other fertile female misfits, travels West to become a Cheyenne bride, part of a U.S. government program to pacify and assimilate the Indian tribes, the better to seize their land in violation of existing treaties. This engaging, insightful and exciting story is told through May's fictional journal entries and mostly unsent letters home to her family.

Here's John's Night Rod with the new seat already installed!
The new seat and subframe awaited the install. This is a custom model built specifically to John's specs. He's a fairly big guy at 6 feet 3 inches tall and he custom ordered this one-piece saddle to fit his frame better than the stock seat.
Rich fit the seat's subframe onto the fender and bolted it in place. Then he installed the stock seat mounting hardware onto the right side, and his own hardware to the rear to fit the new seat.
Then the passenger seat and stock component module cover (arrow) was taken off
...followed by the passenger grab bar. The grab bar was not reused with the installation of the new seat.
Rich fit the seat's subframe onto the fender and bolted it in place. Then he installed the stock seat mounting hardware onto the right side, and his own hardware to the rear to fit the new seat.
Once the seat mounting hardware was tightened, he slid the plastic retaining clip onto the new seat's billet aluminum hinge while mounting the seat. The pin attaches on the inside of the seat (arrow). Then he closed the seat onto the mounting hardware and the installation was complete.
Before: With the stock two-piece seat.
After: With the one-piece seat. Rich's seat is more aesthetically pleasing than the stock seat, and it flows with the fender nicely. John said it's very comfortable and he fits into the bike better.
Other than an exhaust or bar swap, changing out your stock seat is a pretty common task for Harley guys. Bitchin' Rich from Bitchin' Seat Company told us about his new one-piece saddle for V-Rod owners (mass production models start at $700, custom one-off seats start at about $1,200). It's a one-piece design that is targeted for a racer or solo saddler, but it can also be used as a two-up. It's made from Italian leather and features a hand-laid fiberglass pan that is both lightweight and durable. The custom seat features high-density base foam for support and nitro gel (which is different from silicone gel and is 80 percent lighter than silicone gels, according to Rich, and it does not hold heat or cold, it's a neutral temperature). The seat claims to improve handling because it drops the rider's position down about 1 inch, creating a lower center of gravity, and also brings the rider back about 2 inches so that the taller guys can stretch out a bit more.
Rich's buddy, John is a V-Rod owner and he's a little on the tall side. And what a coincidence, he's also a service technician at the Anaheim-Fullerton Harley-Davidson dealership, which is in our backyard. John has a '07 Night Rod he was willing to let us use as our guinea pig. Check out the install and let us know what you think. firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ok no stoning please. While my g/f was watching my babe both our babe's were playing with a sewing measuring tape. One on the long white ones with little metal ends like you would find with your grandma's sewing stuff. I've now noticed, over 24 hours later that the little metal ends are missing and they were there yesterday. I can't find the little metal peices anywhere and I don't know if it was her babe or mine but I am concerned if my babe has swallowed one or both peices. I understand that if you swallow loose change you will be fine and I think these peices were smaller than loose change but I am concerned about his insides getting cut up from a sharp corner. He seems to be fine but I am freaking out. I'm sure she thought there was no harm in them playing wtih it but I am a little peeved right now. Someone please assure me that he will be fine? Anyone have a similar situation? I think I am going to be sick I am so upset.

Pull My Finger!: Clever Gas Mask Ring Set
I have a German-issued gas mask that I keep on my bookshelf in case shit hits the fan and starts splattering everywhere and smelling all ooky. That one's functional. This one, not so much. But it does look kinda cool in an apocalyptic sort of way.
This is a pure silver ring from Alchemy Gothic, made to order for Manillusion only. Complete with rubber hose and slave ring. We have only two rings, in two different sizes, and will measure them happily for you.
$613 takes a set home, but probably won't protect your fingers from picking up a funk if you've been diddling your partner's privates. Use hand sanitizer acid.

Flashback to 1957 when Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers and Elvis topped the charts. Dwight D. Eisenhower was president and the price of gas was 24 cents a gallon. The first Frisbee took a flying leap and 'Leave it to Beaver' and 'American Bandstand' were the new kids on the block. Cars from the Motor City were growing in importance and size as families grew and moved to the suburbs.
In Italy, it was a different story for FIAT. A new small car called the Fiat 500 or Fiat Nuova Cinquecento marked the rebirth of the automaker and signaled independence and...

A proper end to a Viper's school daysby Mike Driehorst
March 6, 2014 4:27 PM
There's nothing like car culture passion. We see it every day, and a lot of people have witnessed it since late Wednesday when reports of Chrysler Group asking schools to "crush" early Dodge Vipers within the next couple of weeks. While we very deeply appreciate – and can relate to – the passionate out-pouring to #SavetheVipers, we do need to clear the air about what's going on and what we did. So, let's set the record straight. About 10 years ago, Chrysler Group donated a number of Dodge Viper vehicles to various trade schools for... |
