|Biomarker/Laboratory analysis, Treatment
|18 and over
- Malignant mesothelioma is a form of cancer that develops on the protective lining that covers the body s internal organs. It most often occurs on the lining of the lungs and chest wall or the lining of the abdomen. There is no known cure for malignant mesothelioma, so researchers are searching for new ways to treat it.
- Mesothelin is a protein that is found in mesothelioma and other types of cancer cells. An experimental cancer drug called SS1P is designed to attack cells that have mesothelin while leaving healthy cells alone. Researchers want to test how effective SS1P is when it is given with pentostatin and cyclophosphamide. These drugs help suppress the immune system and may make the SS1P more effective.
- To study the effectiveness of SS1P plus two drugs that suppress the immune system to treat malignant mesothelioma.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have malignant mesothelioma in the chest or abdomen.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood tests. They will also have imaging studies.
- The first treatment cycle will last 30 days. Up to three 21-day cycles of treatment will follow.
- In the first cycle, participants will have pentostatin on days 1, 5, and 9. They will have cyclophosphamide on days 1 through 12. They will have SS1P on days 10, 12, and 14.
- On the next three cycles, participants will have pentostatin on day 1.They will have cyclophosphamide on days 1 through 4. They will have SS1P on days 2, 4, and 6.
- Participants will have frequent blood tests and other studies. They will receive all four cycles of treatment as long as there are no severe side effects.
- Participants will have regular followup visits as directed by the study doctors.
Further Study Information
Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard of care for advanced unresectable malignant mesothelioma. New options for treatment are necessary in patients with advanced disease that have progressed on platinum-based therapy. Mesothelin is a cell surface glycoprotein present on normal mesothelial cells that is highly expressed in many human cancers including lung adenocarcinoma. SS1 (dsFv) PE38 is a recombinant anti-mesothelin immunotoxin that has undergone phase I testing and has been evaluated in combination with pemetrexed and cisplatin for treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma. SS1 (dsFv)PE38 is highly immunogenic and the majority of patients develop antibodies to it at end of one cycle. Pre-clinical studies demonstrate that SS1(dsFv)PE38 may be administered multiple times in combination with an immune-depleting regimen consisting of pentostatin and cyclophosphamide.
Primary Objectives:
Pilot Objectives:
-To assess the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of a conditioning regimen of pentostatin and
cyclophosphamide in combination with SS1(dsFv)PE38
- To monitor antibody formation to SS1(dsFv)PE38 and to assess the impact of the conditioning regimen on the formation of these antibodies
Phase 2 Objectivies:
- To evaluate objective tumor response in subjects with pleural and with peritoneal mesothelioma using Regimen A.
- Patients with histologically confirmed malignant pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma with epithelial or biphasic tumors having less than a 50% sarcomatoid component who have previously been treated on at least one platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen with progressive disease documented prior to study entry
- Measurable disease by modified RECIST criteria for pleural mesothelioma or by RECIST criteria for peritoneal mesothelioma
- Adequate renal, hepatic and hematopoietic function
- No major surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or biologic therapy within 28 days of therapy
- During the pilot phase of this study, the first eleven patients enrolled in this study received a conditioning regimen of pentostatin on days 1, 5 and 9 of the first cycle and day 1 of subsequent cycles in combination with cyclophosphamide on days 1 through 12 of the first cycle and days 1 through 4 of subsequent cycles (Regimen A) while the next 8 patients received conditioning regimen of pentostatin on days 1, 5, 9, 13 and 17 of thefirst cycle and day 1 and 5 of subsequent cycles in combination with cyclophosphamide on days 1 through 20 of the first cycle and days 1 through 8 of subsequent cycles (Regimen B). SS1P was administered every other day for six days (3 doses) beginning on the day after the last pentostatin dose in each cycle for both regimens.
- In the phase 2 portion of the study, a two-stage Minimax phase II trial design will be used to enroll up to 16 evaluable subjects with pleural mesothelioma (cohort 1) and up to 10 evaluable subjects with peritoneal mesothelioma (cohort 2) who will receive treatment on Regimen A
- Treatment cycles will be repeated for up to four cycles if patients do not develop neutralizing antibodies, which will be assessed by a biological assay 14 and 20 days (+/- 2 days) following the first dose of SS1P in each cycle (corresponding to Days 24 and 30 of Cycle 1, and Days 16 and 22 of Cycles 2 through 4)
- Toxicity will be assessed by the CTEP Version 4.0 of CTCAE
- Tumor response assessments will be performed at the end of 2 cycles and at the end of treatment
- Tumor biopsies will be performed before treatment, after 2 cycles, and after the last cycle or at follow-up.
Eligibility Criteria
1. Subjects must have histologically confirmed epithelial or biphasic mesothelioma not amenable to potentially curative surgical resection. However, patients with biphasic tumors that have a greater than or equal to 50 percent sarcomatoid component will be excluded. The diagnosis will be confirmed by the Laboratory of Pathology / CCR / NCI.
2. Patients must have had at least one prior chemotherapy regimen, with the FDA-approved regimen of a platinum-based therapy in combination with pemetrexed being preferred unless there was a specific contraindication for an individual patient. There is no limit to the number of prior chemotherapy regimens received.
3. Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as > 20 mm with conventional techniques or as > 10 mm with spiral CT scan. See Section 11 for the evaluation of measurable disease.
4. Patients must not have had major surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, biologic therapy (including any investigational agents), or hormonal therapy (other than replacement), within 4 weeks prior to entering the study and must have evidence of stable or progressive disease to be eligible.
5. Age greater than or equal to 18 years. Since mesothelioma is extremely rare in children, they are excluded from this study.
6. Life expectancy of greater than 3 months.
7. Performance status (ECOG) less than or equal to 1 (Appendix A).
8. Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function (as defined below).
- leukocytes greater than or equal to 3,000/mm(3)
- absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1,500/mm(3)
- hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9 g/dL
- platelets greater than or equal to 90,000/ mm(3)
- total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 times institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) less than or equal to 3 times institutional ULN (5 times if LFT elevations due to liver metastases)
- creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times institutional ULN
- creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 45 mL/min/1.73 m(2) for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal, obtained through calculated or measured Creatinine Clearance
Patients may be transfused to obtain a hemoglobin of greater than or equal to 9 g/Dl.
9. The effects of SS1(dsFv)PE38, pentostatin, and cyclophosphamide on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (barrier method of birth control; abstinence) for the duration of study therapy and for 3 months after the last dose of therapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. While hormonal methods of birth control are effective, we ask that female patients who are participating in the study cease hormonal forms of birth control, as these methods of birth control (birth control pills, injections, or implants) may affect the study drug. Patients must be off hormonal forms of birth control for at least 4 weeks prior to initiating the study.
10. Ability to comply with intravenous administration schedule, and the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
1. Patients with symptomatic brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. However, patients who have had treatment for their brain metastases and whose brain metastatic disease status has remained stable for at least 4-6 weeks without steroids may be enrolled at the discretion of the principal investigator.
2. Uncontrolled medical illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or uncontrolled, symptomatic congestive heart failure (AHA Class II or worse), uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
3. HIV positive patients will be excluded due to a theoretical concern that the degree of immune suppression associated with the treatment may result in progression of HIV infection.
4. Patients with Hepatitis B and C will be excluded.
5. Serum neutralization antibody assay shows greater than or equal to 75 percent neutralization of the SS1 (dsFv) PE38 activity at 200 ng/ml.
6. Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
7. History of another invasive malignancy in the last two years. Adequately treated noninvasive, non-melanoma skin cancers as well as in situ carcinoma of the cervix will be allowed.
8. Prior treatment with drugs of the immunotoxin class.
9. Patients with tumor amenable to potentially curative therapy as assessed by the investigator. In patients with peritoneal mesothelioma who have had no prior surgery, a surgical consultation will be obtained to see if the patient is a candidate for debulking surgery.
10. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because SS1(dsFv)PE38, pentostatin, and cyclophosphamide have the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. The agents in the trial may also potentially be secreted in milk and therefore breastfeeding women should be excluded. Because of the potential of teratogenic or abortifacient effects women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (barrier methods) before, during the study and for a period of 3 months after the last dose of the investigational agent.
11. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to SS1(dsFv)PE38.

Full-back Rob Miller and New Zealand flanker Dan Braid have agreed to extend their stays with Sale Sharks.
Miller joined the struggling Premiership club in 2010, while Braid joined at the start of the year.
Miller, the former Newcastle Falcons player, was the Premiership's leading try scorer last season.
He said: "I am delighted to agree a new deal. We have some great young players who have come through the system and we also have some experienced players too.
"I am looking to play my part in any future success the club has with Steve Diamond in charge as director of rugby."
And Diamond added: "Rob and Dan signing new deals is our statement of intent here at Sale Sharks.
"Rob has made the full-back position his own and he not only defends and attacks well but is a very capable kicker and has nailed several important kicks for us recently.
"Dan, meanwhile, has slotted in perfectly at the club, he is a leader and a no nonsense flanker.
"Since joining us he has been one of our stand out players and everyone at the club is delighted that he has committed himself to the club."

Just as consumers are finding higher prices at the grocery store, a new report suggests people are paying more for less product.
From candy to mayonnaise, to tissues, products are turning up in the same packaging but with less product.
Consumer experts say it's been happening for years.
But now, with the economy the way it is, consumers may get even less bang for their buck.
"I feel that they're just doing what they gotta do to keep their business afloat," one consumer said.
"It's a con. The fact is manufacturers and marketers can do whatever they like," said Todd Marks, senior editor of Consumer Reports. "The fact of the matter is that what we have here is a situation where the consumer is getting ripped off."
Experts recommend shoppers pay close attention to prices and package-sizes to get the most for their money.

It is hard to find a good face cream. I have some for day, some for night, some I like better in summer. So I liked the fact that this cream was an all in one, suited for both night and day. The Hydroxatone AM/PM cream was suitable to wear under makeup or for bedtime. I loved it's versatility….it even has SPF in it. Seriously an all in one cream. So well worth the investment.
I also really like the Under Eye Cream. I hate to say it but as I have gotten older (and the kids probably don't help) I have noticed that I wake up with bags and I have to wear concealer for my circles. Hmmm. So this cream helps with that. I have to say I do think it did help and I liked the consistency of the cream. I do have to still wear concealer but at least it is not SO evident.
And finally – my favorite – the 90 second wrinkle reducer. Now it does not make them go away – but it does use some magic tricks to help you look younger. Partly it reduces the wrinkles and partly is shimmers a bit to make the wrinkles not appear there. Whatever, it worked! This also helped with my bags – so that is a plus. I used this even just when I was going to the gym and did not have makeup on – so it was quick – a plus. It states it is a vitamin cocktail – so it will help even if you had a real cocktail the night before!

Paul Pierce expected to re-sign with Celtics
Duh. (Chris Forsberg)
Multiple sources close to the Celtics told ESPN.com's Andy Katz that the team expects to re-sign Paul Pierce…
According to the sources, the Celtics expect the Pierce deal to be wrapped up sooner than later but Ray Allen could take longer into summer.
Expect whatever team signs Lebron to come banging down Allen's door. Ray's the perfect complement for Lebron. But all signs so far point towards everyone staying put. Doc and Danny are both saying they want one more year with "this group." (ESPN & Yahoo)
"Doc is excited to come back and coach our team next year," Ainge told ESPN.com. "He feels rejuvenated about coaching this group next season."
It's an interesting choice of words for Ainge to note "this group." While it might be reading too deep, it sure seems to suggest Rivers will lead a group similar to the one he took onto the court for Game 7 of the NBA Finals earlier this month before letting Banner 18 slip away in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Lakers.
"With the blessing of my family, I want to try one more time with this group," Rivers told Y! Sports.
Revenge on tap for next year? Yes please.
10 Responses to "Paul Pierce expected to re-sign with Celtics"
I'm ok with giving Ray somewhere in the $13 mil range but only for 2 years. That way he and KG are up at the same time.
Paul has to be given priority obviously. He is the face of the franchise and the only real got-to guy on the team in crunch time.
If the C's can get Shaq at around $2.5-$3 of the MLE, do a sign and trade of Sheed's contract for Beasley, and J O'Neal (O'Neal would need to be resigned at around $2.5-$3 mil) Then they could use vet's min on Gomes and Ben Wallace, then the rest of the MLE ($4 mil or so) for Mike Miller. Then we just resign TA on our Bird's and we've got wing's and bigs galore who can do the dirty work by committee.
We don't neccessarily need a big time guy off the bench, just a GROUP of guys who can get it done defensively, not lose leads, give between 10-25 solid minutes depending on which guy, and score a reasonable amount of points a night while getting some rebounds.
If we can compile a bench that can give 10-15 minutes rest to each starter each game while giving a total of 20-25 points and 10-15 rebounds cumilatively, we will be set for a title run.
That really isn't that much to ask. 4-5 guys who average 6ppg and 2-3 rbg is all we need, along with a couple guys to take the load until Perk gets back.

Hey Jay, I love your site, it is very informative and you seem to always have the fresh insight to situations that ESPN lacks… I was wondering if you knew of other blogs, similar to this one that focuses on the Pats, Sox, or Bruins?
Like or Dislike: 0 0
HUGE sigh! Even though we all knew this would happen. I guess 1 to 2 more years before the Rondo Era gets kicked into full swing. Maybe if we can wait till the lockout, we could sign a max agent after, and continue to contend for years.

While working with new materials in Aleph, the cataloger must create item records for each piece cataloged. While filling out the Item Form, it is important that the cataloger chooses the appropriate Material Type, which is found under General Info (1) tab. There are four material types listed in the drop-down menu:
Material type affects the display of items in Web OPAC: the sort is different for items with material type ISSUE (as well as ISSBD) than those with BOOK type, for example.
The preferred display of item lists in Web OPAC is:
- Chronological order for all monograph sets and encyclopedias
- Reverse chronological order for all serials, including annuals
Material Type Selection
- BOOK - This material type is used when cataloging or adding:
- Monographs and monograph sets of all formats:
- Visual
- Audio
- Encyclopedias
Items are sorted in chronological order in Web OPAC:
- ISSUE - This material type is used when:
- Arriving loose periodical issues
Items are sorted in reverse chronological order in Web OPAC:
- ISSBD - This material type is used when:
- Arriving bound annuals that are ready to be processed and shelved
Items are sorted in reverse chronological order in Web OPAC:
- Adding bound annuals as part of Aleph's automated processes for collapsing items for binding
- ILL – ILL Order Project is a material type issued to interlibrary loan materials purchased for library users.

people find it hard to believe that amn will let another man fuck him in the presence of a female, but it is more common than you might think, especially among blue colllar guys.

I did it a couple of times, also sucked the cock of an elderly husband in front of his wife, whose ass I lad previously rimmed. It was great fun

To have a nice hot pussy on your face while you are getting your dick sucked, FUCK YEAH !!!
John January 31, 2012
One of the best sexual experiences of my life happened the night I found out I was bi-sexual. I had been partying with a couple I met at a pig roast near my house. They were from out of state, down for the holiday weekend staying on a house boat they had rented. As I got to know them during the day, I had no idea they were swingers? The wife big time hot, and I'm not just saying that for effect. Running around in short shorts and bikini top. Her husband was a really nice looking, too. The type I'm sure that had no problem getting plenty of pussy. Big guy, and cut. About 6'4" and about 225 or 230. As the pig roast wore down, they said they had enjoyed meeting me and invited down to the dock a few miles away to come have a Margarita with them on the house boat. After we'd been there about a half hour, the husband excused himself, I assumed to go make more drinks? When he did, his wife became very flirty all of a sudden, teasing me big time!! She took off the bikini top, plopped down in my lap, and asked how I'd feel about fucking her while hubby watched? I felt great about it!! So a short time later, I'm pounding her on the waterbed of this houseboat, and hubby's setting 2 feet away in a chair directing us. First he had me fuck her missionary, and then doggie. Then he told her to get on top of me. By now I was so worked up I couldn't stand it!! As his wife started fucking me, hubby stood up and started undressing. I assumed it was to make his wife suck his cock while I fucked her? Or to fuck her in the ass while she was riding me? He walked by his wife, looked at her and winked, and while I was flat on my back with his wife on top, walked up to me with his big cock in his hand and just force fed me his dick. I couldn't help myself, I didn't hesitate at all. His wife started pounding me harder, and I did exactly like he said and sucked that cock while fucking her!! That went on for awhile, and then later on in the evening, his wife looked at me and said you're gonna be his bitch tonight. I said, yes mam!! She walked over to her drawer, got a pair of all shear black pantyhose, and told me to put them on!! I did as she asked, and hubby emerged from the bathroom oiled up with a tube of lube. He put me on my back like a bitch and slowly put his cock in my ass!! Rubbing up and down on my legs with the black pantyhose, and moaning. As he began to fuck me in the ass harder and harder, it felt better and better!! The greatest feeling was having his wife suck my cock and make me come while he was fucking me in the ass!! It was the most incredible orgasm I've ever had!! Later on that night, I left the pantyhose on and let his wife fuck me with a strap on doggie style while I sucked his cock again!! Now, I can't get enough of bi-sexual swinger couples!!

Frank - i luv sucking cock while a women tells me to "suck that big hard cock".A few years ago me and an ex-girlfriend had regular sessions with 3 other guys and she loved me to show her how i loved to suck cock and to behave like a horny slut.I also liked to see her do the same .I would often suck one of the guys off and with my mouth full of cum take one of the others in my mouth and she would join me to lick and suck all the cum off his cock.I also liked to lick her pussy after she had been fucked and eat the hot spunk oozing from her wet lips.You and your wife have got to try this as it is such a huge turn on.You are a lucky guy that your wife is turned on by this ,as i was with my ex-girlfriend.Give it a try,you wont regret it.I am getting hard thinking about your wife and me sucking your hard cock and sharing your hot cum.Hope this turns you both on also.

Clint- a few times along the way, pull your cock out, and I'll suck her juices from your dick, then I'll eventually put it back in. Please feel free to reach around and stroke my cock. After a mouthful of your cum, I'll be so hot, I will cum right between your lips!

Having experienced this many times I know there's nothing hotter than a 3 way with another bi guy. Tasting the juices of my girl off the other guy's cock is awesome, feeling his cock slide up your ass while eating her is just as hot. This is one HOT video, could have easily been of me and my girl.
Art August 10, 2014
my favourite time is just like this. it started with ol lady wanting to finger my ass which led to strap on to guys in my ass. i love to suck cock the taste of cum makes me cum. she was a straight laced but turned into a sex machine i love it.
fishinn May 20, 2014
I LOVE eating pussy while a cock is in it and cumming! Done it before and want to do it again and again. Love the taste of pussy and love the hardness of cock in my mouth. The best of both worlds. Recently I was fucking a nice lady from behind and her man slid under her and ate her out. My cock "accidentally" slipped from her hot cunt and into his mouth. When I felt ready to cum I said so. He pulled me from her cunt and sucked the cum from my cock! Hot times,

The view from the countryside
BBC NEWS | England | Coventry/Warwickshire | Hunt supporters 'defiant, determined'
"The countryside is fed up. We're a law-abiding community. I've never been in trouble in my life, but I'm prepared to stand firm on this.
"People here are very, very angry. This bill pleases no-one. It's just a law that is appeasing anti-hunting MPs."
My thoughts exactly.

We know that when it comes to Tesla, every little thing has the potential to explode into the popular consciousness. Whether it's the rare fire or a good conspiracy theory, any news is good news. But we thought that this was just true on the Internet. Turns out, even the company's neighbors can't seem to get enough. Case in point: a planned day-long company job fair that had to be cancelled after just two hours.
Lines were already long when the fair opened up at 8 am yesterday, according to local media. Then, things got so crazy that the Fremont Police Department had to send out two Tweets, asking people to avoid the area around Tesla's Fremont facility "due to heavy vehicle traffic." Tesla offered its own Tweeted suggestion, saying that the, "job fair is closed for today" and "We urge those who we were unable to interview to go to http://www.teslamotors.com/careers and apply online." That may be cold comfort the the people in line who didn't get a chance to apply for a new job at the electric automaker, but it does give the web one more thing to talk about when it comes to Tesla.

Walter Williams: Busybodies want to scalp Redskins (and others) – There's a move on to prohibit Washington's football team from calling itself "Redskins," even though a 2009 U.S. Supreme Court decision said that it has that right. Now the name change advocates are turning to the political arena and intimidation. This is the classic method of busybodies and tyrants; they start out with something trivial or small and then magnify and extend it.
Ramesh Ponnuru: Fed should target spending, not inflation – The idea that what this economy needs is more inflation will sound odd to most ears, but a lot of smart people are voicing it. They're right that we need looser money, but wrong about why.
Michelle Malkin: Played Out: the Liberal Racists' "Uncle Tom" Card – On Tuesday, Minnesota State Representative Ryan Patrick Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Supreme Court's decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act. Winkler fumed: "VRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomas." This Ivy League-trained public official and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who happens to be black. He then deleted the tweet and pleaded ignorance.
Armstrong Williams: Our Disastrous Public School System – America's public school system has largely become a disaster. State and federal funding for schools is determined by how many kids pass and graduate, as well as score on standardized tests. Administrators are pressured to pass poor students to ensure funding. Teachers are pressured to go along and teach to the tests. The children's best interests become secondary.
Raynard Jackson: What it Means to Be an American – Everyone wants to carve out their own identity, with individuality being the motivating force behind the move, not the betterment of America. There was a time where we were simply all Americans. Then we became Irish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, African-Americans, etc. We used to all rally around the principle of being an American. Our differences should not be divisive, but a tie that binds us. So, whether we agree or disagree, we are all Americans.
John Yoo: Windsor: Tarring 'the Political Branches with Bigotry' – Today's gay-marriage opinions deflated the balloon on the Prop 8 case, but made DOMA the centerpiece. On first glance, the decision in the DOMA case is embarrassingly deficient. It does not identify the right at stake clearly, it does not specify the standard of review, and it does not explain why Congress is assumed to be acting purely out of bad motives. Once the majority can claim a suspected bad motive on the part of Congress, any law that makes gays worse off is immediately struck down.
Charles Garcia: Leaders Act With Integrity – In their personal and professional lives, great leaders demonstrate integrity at all times. It is impossible to lead if you have no credibility with the people in your organization, and in too many organizations, integrity is just a catch-phrase. Leaders must reinforce the company's ethical standards, and it's not enough to just put them in an employee handbook. The penalties vor violating the rules must be enforced and punishment must be more than a verbal slap on the wrist. A true leader finds a way to exemplify the principles of honesty at all times and gets others to follow these same tenets, regardless of the consequences.
Larry Elder: If Paula Deen is out, what about Maher and Sharpton? – If celebrity cook Paula Deen is out because of her decades-old private use of the "n" word, what about its public AND private use by MSNBC's Al Sharpton? What about HBO host Bill Maher's use of the "c" word? Maher, on more than one occasion, publicly called former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin the "c" word. He has called her a "dumb tw-t" – a derisive slang word for female genitalia. He has described her son Trig, who has Down syndrome, as "retarded." But, to be fair, neither Sharpton nor Maher – at least to our knowledge – has called Palin the "n" word. That must explain it.
Dr. Alveda King: Why Won't Nancy Pelosi Listen? – How can Nancy Pelosi say that she is a practicing Catholic when she admits that her faith doesn't line up with the teachings of the church? Why won't she listen to the cries of the babies and their mothers? Does she really not care that women and their babies are suffering great pain and dying from so called legal abortions?
Silvio Canto, Jr.: Kitties open their eyes…what about Obama supporters? – According to experts, a kitty cat opens his or her eyes in a few days after birth. What about people who blindly voted for Obama because he was hip, cool, and the anti-Bush? Will they open their eyes and see the reality? The bad news is that there are still a lot of "yes we can" screamers with their eyes closed.

Catalina Spa Buyer Beware
Posted by
PERRIS, CALIFORNIA -- *Buyer beware*
dear consumer:
If you are considering to buy a catalina spa I would like to give you some insight as to how we were treated after we purchased one and you can decide if you still want one!!!!
A little over two years ago my husband and I were looking for a spa to buy. We looked at several different types and finally decided on the xl2300 catalina spa. We had always in the past purchased the granite looking spa with the plastic casings around the jets, we were however convinced to purchase the acrylic looking one with stainless steel around the jets as it was the Cadillac of spas. We were a bit skeptical because in the past we had an issue with the acrylic type and was worried about the stainless steel rusting. We were assured this would not happen and if it was even possible that the warranty was unbeatable. When it came in and we went to pay the balance on it they were right it was beautiful. As beautiful as it did look we had nothing but problems with it from day one. The radio never worked correctly and they did end up replacing it within one year but to date that radio does not work correctly.
The control on the top of the spa to control the radio and turbo jets never worked properly and they addressed that problem several times and to this date still does not work. Oh did I tell you what we paid by the time we had a deck to put it on (or a slab if you choose), hook up of electrical and the spa itself ($11,390.15) We had a total of approximately $13,000.00 Into the purchase of a new spa. Well a little over a year ago we moved to Florida from North Carolina and paid to have the spa professional lifted from our deck and put on a flatbed truck to transport to Florida where it was professionaly put into our backyard for a cost of $1,500.00 We also had to pay $500.00 To have the electrical hooked up once again, $5,000.00 To fence the backyard for privacy and $2,500.00 For a new deck to put it on. After using it the first winter we were back we drained the spa completely, cleaned it, blew out all of the water for the summer as we have a pool to swim in as it gets very hot in Florida, put the cover on it. While the spa was drained it was checked on a monthly basis to make sure it was okay and for a while it was. About a month ago my husband was checking it and noticed that all of the supposedly stainless steel jets had rusted and deteriorated on both the inside and out and the rust had run down the body of the spa and stained it. My husband spent over 20 hours using "clr" to try to clean the chrome parts and the spa without much luck. If you would like to see pictures of the Cadillac of spas you can e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com . We then thought you know what we bought the Cadillac of spas backed by the best warranty possible lets get in touch with them. Well we were directed to our district person rick whittacker and to no avail did not respond to any phone calls or e-mails. We then got frustrated and call directly to the company in California and they turned us over to a guy named boyd. He did respond promptly however, all he could say is he had never seen anything like that in his life could we please send him a couple of the jets. He was trying to tell my husband that it was the water however my husband already told him the spa was completely drained and with the high heat in the summer in Florida any water left in the piping would have evaporated just like our pool did a couple of inches every week! So we packaged up a couple of jets (there are 90 in all), sent them to boyd and he called my husband with a very bad attitude and told us it was definitely the water left in the pipes and that it was the consumers reponsibility and they were not going to do a thing about it. My husband once again tried to explain that there was no water in the spa and how did it even rust the screws under the sealed plastic pieces around the water fall and other areas where there would have not been any water at all. All my husband got in response was good ole' boyd hanging up on him. Well boyd sent our jets back to us underlining a response in an e-mail to my husband that it was consumer responsibility and underlined a product to purchase to clean the jets. However even if the jets were cleaned they become very pitted. Not attractive for the thousands of dollars that we paid and they are just going to wash there hands of us. We now have a very expensive spa that we paid thousands of dollars for just over two years ago that is worth absolutely nothing. My husband and I thought it was our responsibility to make any potential buyer know what happened to us. We appreciate and thank you for the time you took to read this. So you as a consumer must decide do you want to buy a catalina spa????????

Thank you for fixing it. Not trying to get snitty but,
No, I'm sorry, if I wanted someone to get something out of what I wrote, I would make it legible and ease to read.
I want to purchase a spa and thought your information may be relative.
It's hard to read in all caps, what part of that don't you understand?

Jkt, I think Admin comes by and change the ALL CAPS posts to U/L case posts. I have seen all cap posts changed within hours of the post before the OP even returns, which sometimes they never do. ALL CAP comments to a post seem to remain all caps forever.

Spaguy1 on 10/11/2011:
I know this is 4 years after you're post but I had to put my 3 cents in...I'm a spa professional that writes a periodic technical column for the spa industry in addition to owning a spa Retail Store and service center.
I don't sell Catalina Spas but I did many years ago...I not affiliated with them in any way so my comments are my opinion only.
The spa industry has better warranties then most appliances, autos or even electronics. They cover things onsite that no one else would but the industry has been wising up in the last several years to what really causes the failures. Jets often fail due to water chemistry and jets that have been subject to poor water chemistry will also fail.
"Blowing out" the water wouldn't be good enough to prepare your spa for storage. I'm positive that you didn't painstakingly clean the chemical residue off each jet before storage and possibly didn't check your acid levels before storage. In addition if your spa was stored in FL with the cover on and moisture in the plumbing you would have quite a bit of condensation coming building over the storage time inside the shell. This condensation would be the equivalent of acid rain on steroids! I could have set anything made of stainless steel in the center of the tub while it was in storage and it would have had the same results.
As far as the stereo and the turbo jets, it sounds like they did work at some point or you would have been in touch with the factory and posted negatives on the internet long before you did. The fact that the stereo failed is not uncommon as considering the environment and that it took the industry many years to get stereos to the point that they could survive it. Stereos on all spas are one of the most common failures but are also easily replaceable. It also sounds like your dealer met his obligations to repair these items.
If you purchased a vehicle and left it in an incorrect state for storage and the tires dry rotted you wouldn't go after the company to replace them nor would you feel that your car was "Worthless"…you would begrudgingly pay the price for a new set of tires and move on but for some reason the spa is different. Maybe it's salespeople selling spas building more of an expectation than what most customers have when they start shopping but whatever it is it seems to be common with spa customers.
tracy on 10/01/2012:
Your warranty is only as good as your dealer too! We have had 2 Catalina spas and we love them.
Kris Operhal on 05/28/2013:
I love Catalina Spas they are simple easy spas and I would buy a Catalina spa any day of the year they are the best! Catalina Spas are amazing

An excellent Friday for Marussia as Jules Bianchi finished ahead of the Lotus cars.
Jules Bianchi: "It's great to be back here at Monza, at the start of what I think can be a promising weekend. It has taken us the two sessions to get the car much closer to a more ideal balance, but I'm pretty comfortable with where we have finished the first day. We're close to Sutil and ahead of the two Lotuses, so although we still have some work to do ourselves, I think we can perhaps enjoy a good race here in front of the Scuderia Ferrari home crowd."
Max Chilton: "'m pleased with how things have gone on the first day of running. This morning in FP1 the car felt good pretty much straight away, so it has been more about fine-tuning it to try to move us forward. Jules and I have been close on the timesheets for most of the day and I'm sandwiched between the two Lotus cars and ahead of both Caterhams, so I think there are some positive signs there for the weekend ahead."
Pastor Maldonado: "We knew that it would be tough here in Monza and it is. We had some small issues - some little details that we can work on to improve the car and go into the right direction, even if it might not mean that we will be significantly faster. We tried a new front wing today and new small wings on the car and there is more that we will try in FP3 tomorrow. We will work hard to improve the car as usual, to prepare for the qualifying session, and try to achieve the best result possible."
Romain Grosjean: "The balance of the car felt okay today, however these downforce levels have been very challenging for us. Our pace looked more consistent and competitive on high fuel; hopefully this will allow us to drive a good race. There are opportunities to overtake here in Monza and if you manage your tyres well it is possible to make places. But first we still have a lot of work to do tomorrow morning and then perform the best way possible in qualifying. We're pushing hard to get the best possible result on Sunday."
Kamui Kobayashi: "It was good to get back in the car again after my last outing in Budapest. I needed a bit of time to get used to the car again, as we had some updates in Spa and the car felt a bit different to start with. Now we just need to fine-tune the set-up and have a bit more time out on track tomorrow as today I only had a 90-minute practice. I am happy with today's session; we were able to go through the planned programme. It's good to be back and we are quite close to our rivals, so I am looking forward to a close battle this weekend."
Marcus Ericsson: "This morning started with a pretty decent run in FP1 and we got quite a good baseline set-up straight away, but unfortunately during the second run with the second set of tyres we had an issue with the brakes, so we couldn't improve our lap times. It was a shame, as it would've been good to continue the work during the rest of the session instead of losing some essential track time. We were able to sort out the braking problem for FP2, so we were able to build-up the pace again straight away. It was a good session for us - we completed plenty of laps and got a good feel from both tyre compounds. We also did a long run on the option tyre, so it was a decent afternoon. We now have a lot of data to look at and we need to work hard tonight. I think we can build on this for the rest of the weekend."

the storyline is great and has many twists and turns but will be a little bit confusing if you havnt played the xbox version
Controls: The controls in this game are WAY better than red steel mainly cause you can adjust the sensitivity in the game. the only problem i had with it was that when you try to reful your health using a shake of the nunchuk the game gets confused with the jump motion so while taking cover you find yourself jumping out of cover and gettin killed rather than regaining health.
Equipment: the guns in this game are amazing and are all familier to most fans of the series. they have about 15 different guns in all including a blow gun!! you can also duel weild certain guns like in halo 2. the vehicles in this game are great too and can be steered with one hand and shot out of with the other and having the ability to jump from the front seat to the turret is a real treat. the game also includes grenades, mines, c4 bombs, rockets, mines, and the best thing ever molitof cocktailes!!
AI: the enemys are very smart and use cover and even switch weapons and have great aim they also comunicate with eachother.
Originality: the game is very original in two ways one way is that you can either be stealthy or go crazy its your choice. way number 2 is your feral abilities wich u gain wen u get head shots and knife kill enemys and when yor bar is full you can get super speed, super jump, feral vision wich allows you 2 track enemy sccents and feral claw with this you claw enemys and they go flying away. you can also use your feral bar to regain your health.
Graphics: the graphics are poor and better on the original xbox but once you start to play with the smooth controls you forget the graphics and have a real fun time.
Multiplayer: only 2 people at once but has great levels and modes has no online multiplayer until 2007 wich was a key part of farcry games.

This is a good FPS as far as early attempts go for the Wii.
The storyline in my opinion does very well but some parts will have you retrying the level over and over again.
The graphics are sub-par at best.
The many choices in thrown weapons is new in that you can use rocks to distract enemies, grenades to blow them to pieces, molotovs to BBQ them at their posts, or remote explosives that you can trick a group of enemies to walk over.
A stealth feature gives a new way to kill your enemies by hiding underwater or in bushes and then sneaking out to kill them with the machete or silenced pistol.
That brings up the point that you can actually swim in this game which is unheard of in FPS.
The fact that you can unhinge mounted weapons is another interesting feature. It gives you 200 rounds in a heavy machine gun or 20 in a high-velocity grenade launcher.
The biggest problem with this game is lag. In big firefights you may find that suddenly your rate-of-fire greatly decreases and your character slows drastically.

It's not a bad game.

The good: I liked the aiming, it was smooth and easy enough for me not to feel put out about it. I found this style of aiming much more enjoyable than the simple moving of a joystick. Melee attacks were also fun to pull off with a swipe motion.
The bad: The graphics really aren't good, but I didn't play this game for the graphics. A few of the movements are hard to pull off in a tight spot, such as shaking the nun chuck and sniping, and even though they get easier with practice, they never felt smooth to me. I also found the story to be pretty sad; it was full of cheesy 'tough guy' lines.
I also never found this game to be terribly difficult, so a hardcore gamer probably wouldn't be entirely satisfied. Even though the bad seemed to outweigh the good, I still found myself having a good time playing. Go figure.
The end

Cons: Graphics are not that great but the controls make up for it. Anyone who complains too much about graphics on this system consider the difference in price you paid over other consoles. Your paying for fun not HD.

i love the far cry series but this was somewhat a let down. maybe because the graphics are just grotesque, whats far cry without beautiful graphics?
controls (7) - far better then red steel.
gameplay (6) - to me it was repetitive and somewhat dull, but when you actually get into a good fight its fun. melee is pretty bloodly :D
graphics (3) - disgusting. red steel so far has the best FPS graphics for the wii.
storyline (4) - kinda cheesy
multiplayer - i decided to return it before trying it.
overall - 5 / 10

The graphics almost killed me after being used to the nice environment of the original. Also I liked how you could hide in the original... in this version when I go to duck for cover in the foliage they can usually see through it which really stinks. AI also seems like it was down graded from the original. Hmm... did I mention the horrible graphics?... Oh I did? Well the cut scenes look much better... but they are a let down as well because they lag really badly.
The actual fighting/gameplay is pretty fun once you get over some of the little humps in the road.
Just Ok...

The controls are pretty solid but could of done for reloading and duck/jumping how Red Steel was setup. The aim is ok, I had to put the option for sensitivity up to 10, but it still doesnt move left/right as quick as I'd hope for.
If your out games to play, this ones worth giving a shot, but don't expect a whole lot of out it visually.

TVA Shows Wind Power Leadership in 2012
December 12, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Valley Authority earned national recognition for its wind power leadership in 2012, adding 1,100 megawatts of wind energy capacity from seven wind power sites.
TVA activated 535 megawatts of wind power in January from four wind farms in Kansas, Illinois and Iowa and 200 megawatts in July from another facility in Illinois.
In November and December, 165 megawatts from the Cimarron wind farm in Gray County, Kan., and, 200 megawatts from the California Ridge Wind Energy Center in Champaign County, Ill. were integrated into the TVA power grid.
TVA now has 10 contracts with nine wind farms delivering more than 1,500 megawatts of energy.
"We're confident that wind power will continue to demonstrate its value, effectiveness and potential in the years to come," said Patty West, director of TVA Renewable Energy Programs.
TVA in November was named "Utility of the Year" by the American Wind Energy Association. AWEA presents the award annually to the U.S. electric utility that has done the most to advance wind power's growth through its actions.
"We honor TVA with this award to recognize its accomplishments for wind power in general and how it has achieved these results in a way that benefits other utilities and the entire wind energy industry," said Denise Bode, CEO of AWEA.
Wind expansion also helped TVA in July be named one of the "Most Innovative Utilities in Renewable Integration" by Fierce Energy, a daily energy market newsletter distributed to more than 10,000 energy industry executives around the world. The distinction recognizes TVA's national leadership to address challenges such as intermittency and congestion and boost regional markets for wind power.
Wind energy contracts are an important part of TVA's renewable energy portfolio which totals more than 6,300 megawatts of operating or committed energy capacity from hydro, wind, solar, and biomass. TVA's site at Buffalo Mountain located near Knoxville became the first commercial wind farm in the Southeast in 2000 and provides 27 megawatts of capacity.
To learn more about TVA wind power contracts, visit http://www.tva.com/power/wind_purchases.htm.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for business customers and distribution utilities that serve 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states at prices below the national average. TVA, which receives no taxpayer money and makes no profits, also provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists utilities and state and local governments with economic development.

Union files labor claim over steamy Park Hyatt heat lamps
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Staff Reporter July 28, 2011 9:44AM
The heat lamps were turned on during this protest July 21. | John H. White~Sun-Times
Updated: July 29, 2011 2:14AM
The union representing Park Hyatt Chicago workers, who found themselves subjected to heat lamps during a strike at the hotel last week as temperatures soared into the high 90s, has filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board over the matter.
The hotel's former general manager, who retired last week, admitted he'd turned on the lamps, the union said, citing a written public apology from the hotel.
"The employer assaulted the employees and tried to fry them by shining heat lamps on them in the middle of what was already a hot, humid day," Unite Here Local 1 claims in the charges.
On Thursday, the hotel said in a statement, "The manager who made the decision was already scheduled to retire and last Friday was his last day. If it hadn't been, we would have taken corrective action appropriate to the seriousness of the conduct."
The heat lamps, used to warm up guests and workers during cold weather, were turned on at the hotel's main entrance at 800 N. Michigan as workers were gathered for the one-day work stoppage.
The hotel said last week as soon as it became aware the heat lamps were on, they were turned off immediately and water was offered to employees and guests in front of the hotel. Francine Knowles,

Each week we pick one woman who's done something to make us proud.
This week we're loving award-winning actress and Broadway sensation Kristin Chenoweth. Full disclosure? We love Kristin every week. But her guest appearance on Wednesday night's Glee really sealed the deal.
Less than two weeks ago, the pint-sized star took home an Emmy for outstanding supporting actress for her role in Pushing Daisies, a critically acclaimed ABC comedy that was cancelled last season. During her very emotional acceptance speech, the actress joked about being unemployed and campaigning for roles on Mad Men, The Office and 24. Turns out she was better suited for a show with more of a musical side.
The guest role of April Rhodes, a 40ish musical has-been who returns to high school for her second chance as a star, was the perfect opportunity for Kristin to showcase her comedic talents and her Broadway voice all at once -- and, unsurprisingly, she stole the show. With her boozy ramblings and her chilling rendition of Cabaret's "Maybe This Time," she firmly upstaged her high school castmates.
At the end of the episode her character said, "Everyone deserves their time in the spotlight." This was definitely hers. We're guessing Kristin won't be unemployed for long!

Top Ten ~ Publishing an eBook
Publishing an eBook is challenging. Why do some become best-selling eBooks while others are destined to fail? I have compiled a top 10 list that will ensure you of a successful, if not best-selling, eBook!
1. Topic
It is not about having a unique topic as much as it is about your KNOWING your topic. Do your homework. Learn everything about your topic. If possible, experience your topic. Many famous fiction authors talk to those who subject matter they are writing about ~ you do the same! Do not rush this stage. It is NOT about your topic, but what you know about your topic, firsthand!
2. Key Points
Once you decide a topic then identify key points. What are your wanting to get across to your audience? Pick 5 key points and stick to them. Without knowing the key points your eBook will wander with no purpose.
3. Unique Perspective
A unique perspective can be a new subject or an expanded subject already written about. Whether is be an eBook about chocolate or how the earth was created, you perspective needs to be yours. If it is uniquely your perspective the reader will know and trust your opinions more readily.
4. Research
Once you know your topic, your key points and what makes your perspective unique you need to back everything you write with research. It does not matter if you know your subject, readers will want you to prove yourself to them. Show them you did your homework!
5. Readers Perspective
The most successful eBooks are written from the readers perspective. Always consider the reader and what they are experiencing, feeling and struggling with. Know your audience and write to that audience. By doing this you create a bond not easily broken.
6. Word Pictures
One of the best ways to learn is by example. Include graphics and images whenever appropriate, but always use your words to describe what you desire the reader to visualize.
7. Easily Understandable
Remember, your readers have not done their homework. They want to learn from your knowledge and creativity. Write at a level that is easily understood without being condescending.
8. Personal Touch
Most successful eBooks are not written like a textbook because they are considered too distant and dull. eBooks by nature are uninviting. They do not have the feel or smell of a nice hard bound novel so you need to write in such a way to keep your readers interest. Help them read your eBook with your own personal touch!
9. Proofread
This is a MUST! Not only for spelling but grammar, format, punctuation and flow. You have just spent months on your eBook and your eyes cannot be critical. Return readers will be rare if they see your book as sloppy.
10. Formats
Decide on what format you will write in. In todays market this is becoming easier, but not simple. Make sure a person can view it in a PC or MAC and then do some pondering on what eBook compiler your eBook would best be served in. Where you are going to market your eBook is also a consideration for which eBook compiler you choose.
Keeping these 10 points in mind you CAN write and publish a best-selling eBook!
