Review of chapter "Chapter 10: Another Wedding" from
Great Story. An amazing ending to an amazing series. I've really loved all your works in this series. And I think it's amazing how you brought the two very different worlds of Star Wars and Buffy together. Great work.

"Where in the plan did it say we'd be getting back up from the Care Bears?"
Best line in the entire series.

Review of chapter "Chapter One: The Wedding and the return of Xander" from
Great series. You managed to keep the original star wars feel and so much yet added BTVS and made it work.
Now for some free advice (certainly worth what you paid)
Ditch the Vong. They were a STUPID storyline. Most star wars fans admit it. Don't make the same mistake Lucas INC did.

Review of chapter "Chapter 10: Another Wedding" from
I've finished reading all six stories, and at this point, I'm unsure whether I hate your story or love it.
Let's start with the simple stuff: I loved how you wrote the story. The relationships, the vast cast of characters that still managed to be represented accurately, the development of certain characters in impossible situations on their home dimension. Especially the way you dealt with the fact that you had a basic outline for the story (the movies) and you managed to keep it, yet make the story uniquely yours by using the characters you put in.
Now for the problem: I loved the way you did Willow. I loved all the character development she went through, everything that happened to her, Darth Traya, coming back, making peace with her friends, her daughter. Developing her from her geek persona to a deadpan snarker towards the end was brilliance, something that would never happen in the Buffyverse, I think.
And so you can understand why I was pissed when you killed her off. She was such an excellent character, and had just managed to reunite with her daughter - and you killed her. I certainly understand that in such an epic battle, somebody had to die, and you can't make your heroes unbeatable - but still. I felt as if all the development, everything she had gone through was wasted, if she couldn't live to see her victory and her daughter.
I do love the stories, I realize. Especially for the Willow parts. And yet I simply don't like the ending. It makes sense and everything - but emotionally, I don't like it. Still, you are a great writer, and I'm going to reread it now. But just because hope springs eternal - will there be any chance for a sequel? Is there any chance that you write even a one-shot where Willow comes back, or interacts with Mara? Any chance at all?
With all the respect due such an amazing and hardworking author, and with eternal hope, waiting for a reply,

Not sure if you're still writing fanfic or not, but I've gotta say, you're an excellent author. Just read through all six of the stories on here, and the 17 chapters of the next story on Fanfic.net, and they were all just fantastic. Your Stargate/BSG crossover is brilliant too. It's all so well written and engaging. I really hope there'll be more someday, it'd be a real shame if you never came back to any of this. Thanks a lot for all the great stories ^_^

Review of chapter "Chapter 10: Another Wedding" from
Now THAT was good.
I still think the Jabba scenes were included simply because you didn't want to diverge too far from the movie- if the group had really wanted to reason with Jabba it would have made more sense if they'd gone to him AFTER the Emperor had fallen when he would have been forced to recognise how much trouble he was in now-, but at least you gave Luke a fairly decent chance to show what he can do now (To say nothing of Leia still being the one to actually KILL the slug in the end).
And as for your use of Thrawn...
Nice touch, to say the least; I haven't read much of Expanded Universe fiction beyond the basics, but the Thrawn trilogy WAS one I read, and I GREATLY enjoyed all the various elements introduced in the series, so it's good to see that guy getting an interesting role here (And I have to admire your reasons for including him, really; the Jabba scene might have felt tacked-on, but you DEFINITELY put a not-insignificant amount of thought into this idea of the Empire and the Republic co-existing rather than one replacing the other).
And as for the final assault...
Putting aside the obvious issue of how information detailed enough to let the Rebellion know they were dealing with a trap WASN'T accurate enough to let them know that the Death Star was working, certainly made for a dramatic bit of work; nice to see them actually get the upper hand on Emperor 'Asshole' Palpatine from the beginning for a change, rather than just catching him off-guard at the last minute.
Willow's death was tragic, of course, but I get why you did it- you can't have a fight on THIS scale without SOMEBODY ending up dead to reinforce the drama of the storyline-, and her subsequent funeral was very moving.
All in all, putting aside my feelings about the Buffy/Obi-Wan relationship (Given that they're not even having kids it seems very 'tacked-on' to me; there doesn't seem to be any REASON for them to end up together when they could work perfectly well as friends), nice bit of work; keep it up!

Review of chapter "Chapter 10: Another Wedding" from
I just read this entire series (including New Jedi Order on FFN) over the past two weeks. The depth of the plot lines, the attention to detail, the characterization... it's all very well done. You manage a huge cast as well as any any writer I've read, and much better than most. Your original characters (Vi and Joyce) are some of the most interesting, without being anything close to Mary Sues. I love that your characters are smart enough to understand the strategic uses of the PPGs - in a lot of science fiction, fan- and otherwise, they would "forget" about those possibilities, if they ever realized them at all, as an easy way to inject drama into the story. I also like that your characters realistically experience the temptations of the Dark Side, and yet you also presented the alternate view, through Willow, that there is no Dark Side. The characters really have their own unique voices.
One thing that might help, in addition to the Dramatis Personae, is some kind of family tree. As Dawn remarked in New Jedi Order, one could go insane trying to keep all of the relationships straight. ;)
Also: Batgirl.
Comments from author:
Yeah, but that would mean I would have to WRITE the family tree. I have a hard enough time keeping it straight myself!
Thanks for the review, I'm glad you're enjoying the series.

Epic doesn't even begun to describe this. The whole series is bloody brilliant! Wish I could have seen more Spike and Angel, but over all it didn't make much difference. ...I cant put this in to words @_@

Review of chapter "Chapter 10: Another Wedding" from
CLAP CLAP CLAP. What an ending to one of the most amazing epics it had been my pleasure to read over the years. I first found your yahoo site about 2 years ago i guess it was and have been following this story since. I am sylverwolves on your yahoo site just so you know. This story was my first Buffy/Stars Wars story and the one that I have held the other stories like it up to to compare. I have to say only your beta's story came close (you should have won that award ).
I wish more authors out there would learn from you and first the stories , epic or otherwise, that they start.
So from a devoted fan of this universe that you created thank you for a job most well done.

Guess who is back for a day or two. My computer has been giving me fits and more fits and the company finally decided to take it in under warrenty and see if they can fix it. It is a Lenovo latop and while I like the computer I don't like the reliability of it. I have spent at least 8 hours on the phone the last 2 days either waiting for them to answer the phone or having them work on the computer. It didn't do much good at all. By now I am furious. The only thing is the US repairmen were obnoxious while the Indian (?) ones were nice and much more helpful. One from someplace like India answered the phone ;today and it was the same one who helped me yesterday. He even recognized me and my problem. The misspelled words are the fault of this putting the curser wherever it feels like and typing whatever it wants. This fellow even said he had never seen this problem.
Hope all are well and doing just great. Still have any PT, Karen? Keep up witha the exercises. Gotta stop this typing before I am completely nutsky
Evening. Am still here and still going. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Work back to normal. May have to send the help out tomorrow which means I'll be doing scheduling. EWW I do have to do something before for a meeting tomorrow so I can show what I've been doing to resolve the problems we're having. I think we are going to do them as a group so we can present them to the big boss' boss next week when she is here. I don't know. Right now I'm starting most everyone on a coaching plan because they aren't getting their work done in the amount of time alloted. Started with a newer person today who's having real problems, but there are a number of them so if doing it for one will have to do it for them all.
Sorry for the computer problems Doris. It's why I'm glad I have the PC, laptop and tablet. Always a back up! I'm figuring the laptop won't last a lot longer and then I'll have to decide what to get. Those laptop tablets combos look interesting. I hope they don't take too long to fix it.
How did it go at the wound clinic Nat? Is it healing any? Don't over do cause Paul needs you!
Carol that was sure a round about way to get the rabbi to go see your mom! It's what friends are for though. Glad to hear she's home! Now maybe you'll start to feel better too!
Dee that's a number of days to help out the school. 3 a week? Do you go all day or just for a few hours?
Karen I'm going to bet they get dad into a rehab center. It has to be a "safe discharge" so they'll look at options if he refuses, but sometimes it's family who ends up making the patient do what's best. I think going to a place close to your cousin is a good idea! Any idea when he will go? I just hope he will stay there!
Rags glad you are feeling a little bit better. Hopefully they'll get things figured out for you soon.
Well gotta go. We're going to grab sandwiches for supper tonight. Had blood drawn this AM and allergy shots after work so has been a long day!
Be back tomorrow.
poopeth, all afternoon, to pt and doc for Paul, got back home after 5....
Laureen, wound is healing slowly, doc had to scrape off "sloff" (sp), very nice wound care, so glad we switched. I have to change his dressing every 2 - 3 days, put on prisma, then a big bandaid. to cover it. it is slow going, but doc see small progress.
We have had beautiful fall like weather.
Carola, is mom home?
Good morning,
Got my kitchen clean.. and freshened up my Brockton friends house. She arrives Monday.
C'mon weekend.
Good Morning!
Nat, you look like a teenager in that photo! Must have been a fun day. Glad DH's wound is improving (even though slowly). You are a good nurse.
Yea for our working girls, TGIF and holiday weekend. Will you get Monday off, Laureen and Kim?
Woho! Mom is home! Bet she is happy. Sorry about the IBS. I've wondered if you ladies with stomach ails have read up on Kefir. Seems it helps some ails.
Karen, have G to read about Kefir and see if it might help him. Can he drink milk?
DH is out watering flowers so I need to get up from here and go help. He skips some flowers I want to thrive. We are needing rain really bad.
Happy weekend all!
yep tiz me Carola....now be nice to moi.... glad mom is home...
Virginia, that ain't no teenager..... just ask my body.... that was a fun event....
oh, it really feels like autumn.... just got back home from doc, had 2 moles frozen in June , and they did not come off, had to refreeze it again...ouch... along the drive, leaves were already turning...... and Sept is next week, and I start my "cleaning" of me pots... sad, very sad...
Hi ladies,
Dad will be able to go to rehab center as soon as his blood pressure goes up. It could be Tues. Sis will get the call from hospital. He will need clothes so my cousin who has the key to my dad's house will go and get him some for the center. I talked to him last night to encourage him to go but I think the dr is the one that he will listen to. He got out of bed yesterday and used the bathroom without ringing for the nurse. He is looking for a big fall. He also told me he walked from PT to his room. He thinks he is ready to go home.
A Day at the Ballpark is tomorrow and DS can't go because he has to work and I don't feel like going. I told DH not to buy a ticket for me. He will ask our two young nephews if they want to go.
Diva D I will resume PT in a week. I have two dr appt next week and then can devote my time to it. I have been doing some of the exercises at home to keep the foot and leg flexed. Sorry you are having so much problems with your computer. I hope they fix it right.
Carol glad the rabbi got to see your mom. Hope you can get rid of that IBS soon. Is it from eating certain veggies?
Laureen I hope that he signs up to go to rehab. I hope that they make him if he refuses.
Diva N I hate having to stay the whole day at dr's offices. Hope you rest up for the nest one.
Sharon I too have a clean kitchen. I mop and DS did all the dishes in the dishwasher. I cleaned the counters and everything is shiny.
Virginia DS can't drink milk. He watches what he eats except when it comes to Mexican food. I will have him read about Kefir. Thanks.
Have a good one,
Sorry about the change of plans Carol. I tried the BRAT diet and today am feeling better.
Bananas, rice, applesauce and toast.
HURRAH!! The 3 day weekend is here!!! Time to relax and rest and maybe get something done around the house! LOL! Not sure what the weekend will bring. Does anyone have plans? I am off for the 3 days and am not on call or anything, Virginia!
Will have to look up kefir and see what it does. Do you take it Virginia? DH started on a new weight loss pill from the doctor that is making him lose all kinds of water. Like he's down 15 pounds in 4 days I think.
Sharon must be nice to have a friend coming. Bet the UN across the street will be curious. Did brother leave? I like your new pot. Is it for coffee or what? Looks so nice and shiney.
Carol sorry you aren't going to be able to go to Ben's. I'm sure they are disappointed too. He and Sian seem to get along real well. Hope the IBS stops soon. I know once it starts it can take awhile to settle back down.
Karen I figure your dad will go to the rehab cause he doctor will tell him he has to. Hopefully he'll stay long enough to get stronger! That can be the big challenge. Hope he likes it enough and participates in some of the activities they may have. So you are starting PT again? Is it for the leg and foot? Are you having more problems with it?
Nat the scheduler pointed out to me a couple of trees outside of her window where the top leaves are starting to turn red. Probably 2 weeks ago I told DH it smells like fall. Summer wasn't near long enough. Hope it's not going to be a bad winter. I've heard both things.
Well best get going. Lungs are bothering me tonight so got to go find my inhaler. Will be back tomorrow! Have a great day tomorrow.
Carol, I'm not sure if Kefir is a good idea while you are having such a bad attack of the IBS. Wouldn't be good to make it worse. Hope your stress level improves. Did you sleep better last night?
I see bottles of Kefir drinks near the soy, coconut and almond drink products but I read they are not as good for you as getting the grains and making it at home. Best to find someone wanting to give away the grains. I ordered mine from Amazon along with a 5" nylon strainer. I've been making & drinking it for several months. I really can't tell that it improves my health but supposedly it makes changes in your guts for the good. The grains multiply and I'm trying to give extras away. Gave away two jars with grains today and a neighbor wants some. hopefully she will take a jar tomorrow. I have too much in the fridge right now. Looking into making sour dough bread although I eat very little bread. I'm having it in smoothies for breakfast with different fruits, dry oats, ground flax seed, little OJ, fresh kale, whatever. Dab of honey if needed. I'm not sure what the calories are but I'm not losing weight for sure.
Marlene, sound in here and tell us your experience with Kefir. Did you give up on it during your surgery?
Guess I've caused enough trouble for one day.
Happy holiday weekend in the USA.
It is so nice and quiet here this morning. Yesterday afternoon some religious group took the stage in the piazza. I'll bet the US would never allow this. The issue for me was a singer belting the same song out at intervals when the speaker took a break. She had a lovely voice but try a variety. We can hear from our house, inside.
Sometimes probiotics can be a problem with certain stomach issues. I remember when I was in the hospital a few years back and asking the doctor about them. He said not to use them when the stomach is inflamed. Good idea that you are checking.
There are so many articles giving tips on how we can improve our health that it is difficult to know what to believe. I think Carol you have the best plan in eating plants. I try to do this but that hamburger craving always gets in the picture. I am going to make sweet red pepper sauce over pasta for luncheroni.
Lazy morning.
PS We may have rain this afternoon.
PS Sister wives is on the Italian channels. I feel like I have one.
Nice and clean this morning.
Good morning....AIWWTH.... beautiful day here, beautiful picture.
What is Kefir? hope you two furners are feeling better.
Where is Marlene? and Joanie...
My dad will be moving to rehab on Tues since his blood pressure is up. They will keep him there for two weeks and then evaluate him. If he need more rehab they will keep him another two weeks or he will be sent home. I don't think dad will be there long.
Carol stress will do things to your body. I hope you get better soon.
Sharon glad you are feeling better. The pic is beautiful.
Laureen my PT is to keep my left leg and foot flexed and hopefully TENS given for it too. Your DH really lost a lot of weight in a few days. Congrats!!
Virginia you are really into the Kefir to make it yourself.
Hi Diva N.
Doris is having computer problems, so will not be posting for a while... ahhhh, peace and quiet.
Afternoon. Sharon the picture is absolutely beautiful. it looks so calm and serene. Wish I were there to just sit and look. I'm sure it gets busy and chaotic at times, but that is how I would love to spend time there. You are lucky to be there when it's like that.
I'm going to miss Doris! Hope her computer gets fixed soon.
Rags, I hate going to the grocery store anymore. It is becoming so expensive for everything. Don't know when it is going to stop. Probably won't. It's why even when I retire I anticipate I'll have to work a little. Will be good for extra money and for mental status I hope. Not sure I can live with DH 24/7! LOL.
The name of this pill is a new diabetic pill called Invokana. It is suppose to push the glucose out through the kidneys. Makes you pee all the time, which I'm sure is what is causing DH's weight loss. Major side effect is the development of yeast infections. I'm sure once those hit, if not controlled, we'll be stopping it. But till then, we'll see. Got a card that will make it free at least initially. Worth a try for him. I'm hoping if it works for awhile it will get him over the hump that hes' been stuck at.
Going to be quiet here today. Hoping to get some things done and sorted through. Nothing special planned for Monday at this time. Next Tues through Thurs the big boss' boss is coming to see how we are doing and to "help us" with ideas. This is Ms. Punitive, Ms Bye Bye, etc. So we'll see how it goes. I'm going in late on Wednesday cause I have my annual physical early that morning. So.....
DH is napping right now so should get busy. LOL! Be back later and hope everyone has a great day!
Talked with Jillane this afternoon. Here is a pic of her with her friends at their annual spa weekend. She told her husband that having their tub/shower updated would make her after surgery care so much better. She is a smart cookie.
They all look so beautiful!! Bet it was a great weekend! You are right, she is more than one smart cookie!
What a beautiful girl, she looks just like mom.
I ignored my kefir grains for awhile and now I'm rejuvenating them. I also brought some online and started my own crop. They are not actually "grains" but a probiotic culture that grows in milk. Altho there is a form of water kefir too. It turns into a sour milk / yogurt like product.
Sharon--your daughter is beautiful as well as smart.

My Brother's Bar
Look for a brick building on the corner of 15th and Platte, and you'll find My Brother's Bar, which has no signage and can be difficult to locate if you don't know what you are searching for. As Denver's oldest continuously operating bar, though, this Highland neighborhood saloon is always busy despite its low profile exterior. Exposed brick walls and dark wooden tables provide a laid back atmosphere for those who just want to enjoy the large on-tap selection or one of the famous burgers like the Ralphie, which is topped with jalapeno cream cheese.
Insider Tip:
The bar sells boxes of Girl Scout cookies throughout the year (until their supply runs out), so you can enjoy a midnight snack of thin mints with your favorite draft.

Willowwind School is going mobile. The private Iowa City school is piloting a new program this year where every fifth- and sixth-grade student has an iPad. Families purchased the devices themselves and students use them at home and at school on a daily basis.
Read more »
Widespread poverty is inspiring some school districts to create iPad initiatives as a way to give students hope. In California, Coachella Valley Unified, for instance, where 90 percent of students live in poverty, will issue iPads to all 19,000 students -- preschool through high school -- by November.
The Uniontown Area School Board in western Pennsylvania agreed to purchase refurbished computers, projectors, and necessary cabling equipment from the construction fund at an estimated cost of $100,000. School board member William Ritternhouse said it was necessary for the district to buy the equipment because the installation of the new computer system is going much slower than anticipated.
Educators who work in low-income schools know that technology could help them understand student needs better and create more engaging learning experiences. But tight budgets make some of the more ambitious schemes, like 1-to-1 computer access, a distant dream. Yet it's precisely the schools with under-served populations that have the most to gain from technology.
After the installation of a $45,000 wireless infrastructure, Marist High School in New Jersey gave each student a Samsung Series 3 Chromebook. Now, by accessing the school's network through their laptop, students can take notes, read textbooks, and study for tests online.
Raleigh County students are going high-tech this year, becoming the first public school system in West Virginia to rely on iPads instead of textbooks. The program is called iRaleigh.
Some districts in Long Island, N.Y., are finally taking the technology plunge after dipping their toe in the water for several years. Mineola, which started with 100 iPads in 2010, is now providing one iPad for each of its 1,200 students in third through eighth grades, while Bethpage is distributing Google Chromebooks to middle schoolers.
There was a time in the not-too-distant past when bringing a cellphone or other hand-held digital device to school could earn a kid detention or a visit to the principal's office.
For schools that have tablets, laptops, and desktops at their fingertips, planning is challenging, especially if the school or district's goal is to have a device in every student's hands. To guide this inevitable shift, edtech planning and implementation provider BEYOND Technology Education released "5 Steps to Prep for One-to-One", a document based on the SWIMGrid (School-Wide Integration Model).

RapidSOS Development Intern
Bookmark This
Join an exciting team led by two venture capitalists, a Harvard MBA, an MIT PhD nuclear engineer, and a Columbia electrical engineering in transforming emergency communication. Collectively our team has helped commercialize over 60 companies to date, developed mission critical code at two national labs, and helped raise over $4 billion for rapidly growing companies. We are currently tackling the mission-critical challenge of emergency communication. Technology has dramatically changed our lives over the last 50 years, yet when we need it most, in mission critical, life threatening situations, we rely on the out-dated PSTN telephone network. 26% of mobile 911 calls in the state of California don't get through, 50% of all 911 calls have inaccurate location data--we think we can do better. RapidSOS is currently commercializing a suite of proprietary technologies that transform emergency communication.We are looking for a talented and motivated student with programming experience to join our team for a summer internship. As a part of our team, you will work closely with the RapidSOS founders to assist with the development of the Company's front-end app (alpha product currently created, beta in development in collaboration with several partners) and our back-end technical integration where we are collaborating with several large telecommunication companies. You will be working on the ground level of a rapidly growing tech start-up and will collaborate closely with the Company's co-founders as we thinking about developing an integrated technical strategy and product platform.
• Work closely with RapidSOS technical team to refine smart phone application and technical back-end• Collaborate with co-founders on overall product strategy and technical development timeline
• Unpaid internship (RapidSOS team is happy to assist students in securing course credit at their university if available)
• 10-week internship with opportunity for extension (flexible start and end date)
• 10-hour per week minimum commitment with potential for additional work depending on the intern's availability (i.e. can be either a part-time or full-time position based on the intern's availability)
• Unfortunately RapidSOS is not able to offer office space at this time so work will be remote with regular conference calls/video conferences to review work, discuss strategy, and collaborate on projects
What we require:• Strong work ethic able to work in a dynamic start-up environment
• Experience or coursework in computer programming and (preferably) app development or telecommunications
• Organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize time-sensitive assignments
• Interest in enabling a safer, more secure world
• Minimum GPA of 3.0 (if you do not meet this requirement please tell briefly tell us why your grades slipped in your cover letter)

I have been working on a new craft project for my Grandchildren. I am painting on plastic storage containers to be used for my grandkids toys. I am having so much fun downloading the graphics off of the computer and coping them onto the container. I am using DecColor Paint Pens to color the graphics. Has anyone ever done this kind of painting.
I am not sure if they need to be treated with a sealer to protect the paint from coming off. Would appreciate any help or advise. Thanks so much, Anne |
Follow-Up Postings:
you could use a spray sealer to help protect since they will be used by children, a few light coats is better then a heavy one, keep your painted part flat when spraying, and till dry, to make sure nothing runs and mess up your project! do you have any photos to share with us? oddie |
Thank you so much for your information. I will be taking some pictures and I will post them. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Woody!
Facts about Woody
- Breed: Beagle/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Woody's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Hi! my name is Woody and I am looking for a loving, forever home. I was rescued from a very unsafe beach for dogs in Puerto Rico. I now reside in Dedham, Mass and everyone falls in love with me as soon as they meet me. I am super sweet and friendly and good with other dogs. I am about 7 months old and about 25 lbs. If you would like to meet me please email email@example.com. Can't wait to meet you. Love and Kisses, Woody :))
Other Pets at The Sato Project, Massachussetts
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Woody, a Brooklyn Beagle/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Beagle/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Beagle/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

Last September or October a neighbor's new dog was in out yard and jumped onto some of my potted perennials and didn't completely sever, but almost completely severed the main stalk of my venosa violacea clematis just inches from where it pokes out of the soil. At the time I really wants sure what to do, it's a zone three and it's supposed to be hard pruned, but not that low and not in the fall like that. Anyway, I probably should have posted this then, but instead, I pruned it. Unfortunately, all of my perennials are starting to return and my clematis is just a little brown stick sticking up from it's pot. Is it dead? Should I have not pruned it? Or is there anything else I could have done? Oh, also, this will be (or would have been) it's fifth year, and it's always lived in a pot. |

it is probably not dead. Hard pruning usually helps them, not hurts them. Though they can rot out in pots as the years go by the drainage isn't as good as the soil breaks down..... |
I thought my Nellie Moser was dead because she was damaged so badly; She's back this year. Years ago I thought a multiple had perished, but it came back. I notice that when the junction between the root & the plant is injured it takes longer for them to come back, but they usually do! :) |

Thread: Autism and transgender
Autism and transgender
My daughter is 14 and has today told me she is transgender and feels she should have been born a boy. Added to this is the fact that she was diagnosed with as prefers at age 5. She has cut her hair boy short and is no longer hair removing. She know I'm totally open and will talk to her about this anytime but she just get embarrassed and I'm concerned that she's keeping things in. Can anyone advise ?

Hiya Kay
You're asking for advice concerning your 14 year old daughter who has told you she is transgender. I'm wondering if you could get some more specific advice if you post on the following board
Special Needs & Disabilities Support
Here we have Parent supporters who have experience working with children with Autism.
I think it is very positive that your daughter feels able to discuss the situation with you, you're wondering how you can approach the issue with her without causing embarrassment. You could find the following link helpful regarding talking to teens
Teenagers: Talking with Teenagers - Netmums
it sounds like you could really do with some professional support here, and I wonder if its worth you contacting Mermaids? they are a support and advice group for parents and families with children and teenagers who are struggling with their gender identity
Mermaids is a support group for gender variant children and teenagers, and their families. Our goal is to relieve the mental and emotional stress of all persons aged 19 years and under who are in any manner affected by gender identity issues, and their families and to advance public education in the same.
This is what Mermaids advocates: Let the child develop as he or she is naturally meant to, whilst loving and accepting them for who they are at the present time. Childhood is precious, and children should be allowed to enjoy it to the full.
In support of this we:
◾Offer support to parents, families, carers and others.
◾Raise awareness about gender issues amongst professionals (e.g. teachers, doctors, social services. etc.,) and the general public
◾Campaign for the recognition of this issue and an increase in professional services
Kind regards
Autism and transgender
I am going through exactly the same thing with my 16 year old son. He is also autistic. Apparently it is very common for teenagers with autism to be gender confused, only a small proportion of them go on to live a transgendered life. I am very new to all this so I apologise if that is not the correct term.
My son told me he was transgender six months ago, our GP refused to refer him twice but now after some help from our local childrens unit he has now been accepted on the waiting list for the Tavistock Clinic in London. He is also receiving counselling locally although this has to stop as soon as we have a date for the Tavistock to avoid any "clashes" apparently.
I am the only person in my family who knows, not even my partner knows. I am finding this extremely difficult to be honest. His voice, mannerisms and body language are very female would and walks around on his toes as if he is wearing high heels, but when his siblings comment he flies off the handle. I am rapidly, rapidly starting to feel mentally exhausted with the refereeing of the situation. I feel he is baiting them for a reaction if I am honest. He is not dressing as a girl, or doing any different whatsoever. He has no interest it seems, he is more than happy to wait until his appointments and see how he feels once he has spoken to them.
I spoke to Mermaids and to be honest I found them very pro-transgender! They told me I should buy him some girls clothes, make up and shoes and see if he likes them. They were quite put out that I refused point blank. That is fine when there is no autism present but when there is I really feel that other professional agencies should assess your child before they start to move over to their "preferred" gender. I am still not convinced that this is what he wants because he has always, always had obsessions about things, people, places etc., He has always had a very low esteem, always been bullied physically and I am wondering now if this did considerable psychological damage.
That probably reads really badly, but he is three years emotionally younger than his peer group, he is basically a 13 year old child in a 16 year old body. He is gifted and talented with great GCSEs but does not socialise and refuses to go out in the dark. He has just been away on a sixth form residential for three days and he went to bed at 10pm because that is his bedtime routine and under no circumstances will he alter that. He has no idea of dangers, I would go so far as to say that we are considering whether or not he should be classes as a "vulnerable adult" and I suppose part of me feels that if he was to dress as girl and leave the house that he would be extremely, extremely vulnerable.
I hope you do not mind me telling you my story, I just wanted you to know that gender issues are very common with teenagers with autism. Sorry I waffled on.
Response from Mermaids

>>I spoke to Mermaids and to be honest I found them very pro-transgender! They told me I should buy him some girls clothes, make up and shoes and see if he likes them. They were quite put out that I refused point blank. <<
Dear Janice
I am sorry that you felt that Mermaids 'encourages' transgender. I can assure you that it is not aberrant behaviour, nor is it attention-seeking. It is real, and it can hurt children, even if it it turns out to be 'just a phase'. As for encouraging transgender, this is not what we do - we merely accept that it exists, and we try to help people find ways to alleviate the distress that their child may be suffering simply because they feel that they do not fit in socially with other children.
You said "They told me I should buy him some girls clothes, make up and shoes and see if he likes them. They were quite put out that I refused point blank." I am probably the person who answered your call, and I am sorry that you appear to have misunderstood. I can assure you that I have never told anyone what I thought they >should< do, but would merely make some suggestions as to how to help their child feel happier, one of which might be to suggest allowing the child to dress in role, should that be what that parent felt might be appropriate, as this has helped other families. Parental permission to allow the child to express themselves by the way they dress can be beneficial for some children. It is up to the parent to decide which, if any, of such suggested ideas would be appropriate for their child. I always say that a child may grow out of it, but that even if it is a phase, it can be a painful and protracted one, for which specialist help is available.
Some researchers think there may be some sort of connection between transgender and autism, but it's yet to be proved. I personally do not think it is 'common' just possibly more prevalent than in the general populaation. The Tavistock's Gender Identity Development Service are familiar with seeing young people with autism and learning difficulties. IMHO any child or teenager who has a gender issue of any kind would benefit from a referral to a specialist clinic so that the stress of the gender problem can be alleviated, assessed, and eventually, if necessary, treated.
Mermaids is not a professional organisation - we are a self-help support group, run by people with many years experience in supporting their own children, and other families. We offer information, friendship, a listening ear, and suggestions re. professional help, legal issues, etc. We have an online forum for parents, where they can seek advice and personal support, get ideas, and support others. There are some parents on the group whose children have some degree of autism. Being in touch with other people who have the same, or similar, problem as yourself can be life-changing.
I hope that you and your child have found the right kind of professional referral, and support, to help you and your family through this troubled time for your child.
hi ladies, this post was a while ago, but mt stepson is trans. any chance i can butt in this group for advice and support? xxx
Could I drop in too. My 14 yr oldson keeps stealing and wearing his sisters clothes, everytime we find things we ask him and either get I want to change myself, f I wasa gir I wuldnt get bullied or I don't know.
We have spoken to no end of consultants on this but are getting nowhere.
He has always been picked on and has low self asteem has adhd and autism, the bullying has eased since we moved house but he is still wearing things.
There are several posts on his website but no one has any answers......

Muhammad and Sulaimon Dominate All-Star Game
April 5, 2012 by TMO
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Las Vegas high school stud Shabazz Muhammad scored 21 points and Houston's Rasheed Sulaimon contributed 18 to help the West beat the East 106-102 in the McDonald's All-American Boys' Basketball game last week. "When you come to every event you want to be known as the best player at the event," Muhammad said. "This is the elite 24, the top 24 guys in the country, so just coming in knowing that and trying to compete and everybody is competing is a beautiful thing." Muhammad was named the MVP of the game.
Muhammad remains undecided about his college choice, but it was reported by ESPN the night of the game that he had narrowed his list to three: Duke University, the University of Kentucky, and UCLA. Notably, he had reportedly eliminated the home town University of Nevada Las Vegas team from contention for his services.
The East team included a couple of recruits belonging to the newly-crowned national champion University of Kentucky squad, including Alex Polythress and Archie GoodwinWith the possible addition of Muhammad, Kentucky could possibly replicate last year's top-rated recruiting class. "It is going to be a blessing to play with Alex and hopefully Shabazz in the future," Goodwin said. "Like I said in my (earlier) interviews, it will be another repeat of what they are going to do this year."
Muhammad is generally considered the number one boys' basketball recruit in the 2012 high school class. And if he chooses Duke University, he would join Rasheed Sulaimon, who has already committed to the Blue Devils. Sulaimon, who hails from Houston, TX, was 4 for 8 from three-point range in the McDonald's game.

This site is primarily a showcase of my fine art photography. The statement and biography should provide further insight into what motivates and guides my art. The resume is edited and distilled. Should you be interested in the complete and current resume please contact me. I have just updated this site by adding photos of a permanent installation of my prints at SEDL/Phase 2 in Austin, Texas. The image on the left is from the series, Transmissions, a manifestation of my view that light informs all form for without it nothing is visible. Photography is a medium of light just as dance is a medium of movement. All of my black and white photography is produced optically, on film, printed in a traditional darkroom and is concerned with some degree of abstraction. The color work is shot on color transparency film and then high resolution Imocon scans are made. The images are then fine tuned in Photoshop and printed as carbon pigment prints on 100% rag watercolor paper, such as Hahnemuhle Photorag. None of the original imagery was created using digital photography.
These publications contain selected images from various series and a statement that elaborates on my current concerns and where I am heading. They illustrate a timeline of my work and its evolution into total abstraction over the last four decades.
In 2010 I revisited working with color in my studio. In addition to straight single shot imagery I began deconstructing my photographs and creating composites.

More Dream Interpretations by Peter
Continuing from Blog 1, I hope these accounts of my dreams and attempts to analyse them throw some light on the mysterious processes of dreaming and that in the words of one Henry Root, I have made "a valid contribution to the great debate. I look forward to joining in further activities at the Academy of Dreams.
In three dreams- trying to revisit my first home after over 30 years, revisiting my old school and walking into a strange house, I was an outsider, and showed concern with ideas of trespass on unfamiliar and previously familiar property.
In 2005, I dreamed of knocking on the door of my first home in Northfield, Birmingham at the end of a weekend cycling round Birmingham. I awoke before the baffled owner of the house had made up his mind whether to admit me for a short visit or tell me to go away.
In 2004 not long after having revisited Birmingham and noticed my old school had put up a tall hedge blocking the view of the playing fields and school buildings behind them, I dreamed of being expelled from the school grounds by prefects who stood by the back gates and called to me through megaphones. They patronisingly told me I must have a letter from the headmaster permitting me to enter school property..
On the afternoon of Saturday 14/10/2006 I fell asleep in my kitchen for an hour and in a dream, went into a strange suburban house just because the front door was open.
My visit would have gone unnoticed had I not shut the front door behind me when leaving. I faced cross-examination in the house by the owner's elder brother who accepted my apology and assurance that I had not stolen anything then asked his younger brother to show me out of the back gate, whereupon the sun came out after a dull day with continuous light rain. Then I woke up.
This district borders on Bournville among other districts and I last saw it in 1973 when 24 years old. In that year I moved to Surrey and nobody I know lives there now.
I am not sure why I dream so very often of Northfield and what all these dreams are telling me. Here are a few more, one comic, one frightening, one semi-lucid, one very accurate in detail and one somewhat non-descript but puzzling. All of them were in 2000 or afterwards, and one of them was only a month ago.
1. A SECRET LAUNDRETTE. ( March 2010. )
I rang the bell of a private house number 25 in a road near my first home because a lady had lived there who owed me money. ( in reality the lady lives in London. She owes me £25, and here the 25 became the house number.) The door was opened by a very red-faced Irish lady aged about 45 who told me she had no knowledge of previous owners. I saw that she ran a secret laundrette in a room that had curtains always drawn to prevent people from seeing the washing machines and tumble dryers from the outside. All machines had been very cleverly fitted with noise reduction devices. I asked for a leaflet with prices of services and opening times. The Irish lady said "We don't usually give these out" and I felt I had received a top secret Government defence document and could end up being cross-examined by the Special Branch. Opening times, as I guessed, were very restricted and you had to phone first before visiting.
In reality it is an ordinary suburban road not named after any gallows. I thought, when I lived in Northfield, that it was named after cottages no longer there which had been decorated by hanging baskets of flowers!
In this dream, I re-visted Northfield to confront my fear of death and walk from what was once my local church to Hanging Lane. Like Alice in Wonderland, I began in Northfield then entered an awful world nothing like Birmingham then thankfully came back to Northfield and "civilization".
The Hanging Lane of my dream was a steep hill through a forest with a Gothic church at the top that was disused and padlocked. Further on was a very eerie road unsuitably called Toytown with cottages that somehow I knew ( nobody was about ) had been uninhabited for over 150 years.
Although the church was disused, I nevertheless heard the sound from within it of a choir singing in Latin. I also could not reach a road which was located behind the church.
A localised fog descended right in front of me along a path within the church grounds as I tried to reach this road lying behind the church, and I found this frightening and peculiar.
A voice told me "Beyond here there is nothing." Then I went up the peculiar street called Toytown which ended abruptly. Again this peculiar fog descended in front of me, and again the voice told me that "Beyond here, there is nothing".
I went down the hill being Hanging Lane and at the bottom, noticed an entrance to a park.
I went in and stood near to the entry gate. It was now sunny whereas around the church it had been overcast, but still the atmosphere seemed mournful. A man walking his dog spoke to me. He told me of the gallows where up to 1845, hangings had very regularly taken place. "The gallows was exactly where you are standing, Sir, and this area is haunted. Very mournful, I would say, Sir. Very mournful."
I think my grandmother lived in Northfield for 70 years as a married woman until her husband my maternal grandfather died aged 63 in 1935 and then then as a widow. She died in Surrey in 1973 aged 94.
In this dream I had visited her house in Pamela Road and was talking to her. I became aware with a shock that she was no less than 120 years old, but began to feel that something had gone seriously wrong with my brain. How could she possibly be so old?
The dream was partly lucid in that I had begun to disbelieve in it.
I dreamt I was in Birmingham City Centre having telephoned my 100 year old grandmother and assured her that I would not arrive at her house later than 10 pm. I then caught a bus number 41 and paid the fare to its terminus in Turves Green close to Longbridge, planning to walk the one mile back to her house ( all such detail accurate relative to reality ) but never arrived at either Turves Green or my grandmother's house. I had never when young thought of taking such a route when visiting her, finding Turves Green for some reason rather depressing.
Perhaps for that very reason Turves Green featured in this dream.
I remember this road as a short cul de sac with late Victorian terrace houses on only one side It was off Norman Road and I passed by it when going along Norman Road in order to visit my grandmother. It led towards a nearby council estate. Unsurprisingly, I had never dreamed of this road before but now it appeared most vividly in this recent dream- a road I had not seen for over 40 years. I knew the road is called Barron Road, but in the dream it was called Norman Close.
In the dream, I was most concerned that the road should be opened up and made to lead to Overbury Road on the nearby Council estate, forging a link between two different worlds as well as providing a short cut for people wanting to get from Norman Road to the estate.
Some days after the dream, I looked at a road map of Northfield if not a recent one, and saw that Barron Road and an estate road Overbury Close were both dead ends which very narrowly failed to connect. My dream suggested I found Closes and all dead end roads pointless and frustrating, and had used this example to make my point.
Losing or fearing that I have lost belongings of mine has been a recurring theme in my dreams as it has been in reality.
I dreamed of a day in the country near to Guildford. All other walkers in my group soon left me, I met a psychologist who found me most interesting until he ran away from me as if I had had leprosy, and the father of an 8 year old boy threatened to call Police on his mobile phone to arrest me for harassing his son.
Then I became convinced that I had absent-mindedly left my cycle by a stile, and from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm. was trying to resign myself to the loss of the cycle and need to buy another. Then at 5.30 I realized I had left my cycle in a garage before the start of what was an organized walk. Retrieving it, which I did, was the only thing that mattered.
Guildford was hardly my favourite place in 2009. In March 2008- I was unfairly dismissed from a job there after 6 days by an agency which rang me on Bank Holiday Monday at 7 pm. to give me the bad news ( offensively as well ) then in May 2008 I had to attend a medical interview to assess if I remained worthy of sickness benefit, an appointment for which had been made by agency people who rang me at 10.30 a.m. on a Sunday morning thereby aggravating the anxiety for which I was being treated.
And the psychologist in the dream was modelled on an American psychologist I met on a train with his family. He gave me an e mail address when I knew he did research into Asperger Syndrome and I then said that I myself had Asperger Syndrome, but when I originally asked for his address to stay in touch with him, he had thought me decidedly odd.
The dream reflected anxiety I had felt when trying to get all my luggage off a train at my local station a few hours beforehand, anxiety that I would leave property on the train or the platform or simply fail to alight in time.
It also reflected anxiety concerning an incident in July when I was running round the Inner Circle road at Regents Park. When with a group, it had been fine to leave my bag with other bags behind a certain fence but it was foolish of me to leave my bag unattended when I was later on running by myself. Luckily, I found my bag at the nearby police station.
I dreamed that I was getting off a train at my local station and having placed a suitcase on the platform, went back on to the train to retrieve my coat but illogically closed the door behind me. The train moved on. The platform was deserted and with absurd illogicality I waved frantically from the train, pointing to the suitcase.Later in this dream I was given a lift by police in Birmingham who somehow knew my suitcase 140 miles away had been taken into Lost Property.
The dream referred to an incident in Czechoslovakia prior to boarding the return coach to Ostend. It was Monday 23/9/1991 around midday and I had stayed a week in Czechoslovakia. We were all told to put our luggage in a place within the coach station so that it could be loaded
on to a truck that was going to accompany the coach. I put my suitcase down in the right place and went for lunch at a nearby restaurant, a verygood and cheap lunch, but came back to find my suitcase had gone.
I was assured it must have been loaded on to the truck but so many suitcases were on the truck and quite a lot like mine and of the same dark blue colour that it was impossible for anyone to pick out mine.
I had an anxious journey back to Ostend, but luckily my suitcase had not been stolen and was found at Ostend.
In the dream the coach had arrived at a terminus in London that was not Victoria but a merger of different places I know in London, tantalizingly recognizable but unrecognizable. I asked the driver to pass me my two suitcases but he refused to do so, telling me that he would feed their contents of clothes and toiletries through a cylindrical conveyer belt called The Tube and I must remove my belongings at the other end.
I complained later that only about half of my belongings had come through but he said he had no more time to spend on me as he hadanother coach to drive. It was a brilliant Friday evening in July and I went into a nearby park where to my surprise and relief, I saw "car boot" people selling my clothes. Although they must clearly have already sold some of my clothes to other people, I was able to buy all my clothes back that were on display, and then woke up.
In the fourth episode of this dream I was unhappy to be looking at a lot of graves of children in a churchyard and a Voice told me that "The well of happiness is shallow, but the well of sorrow is bottomless."
It was not, as I had thought upon waking, a quotation from something I had been reading.
E.F. Benson's story is about a pre-cognitive experience. The narrator at 11.30 pm. can see a carriage from his bedroom window so clearly that it
seems to be surrounded by daylight. In an episode of my dream at dawn, I saw a carriage though minus horses very clearly from quite a distance.
But when I came up to it, I found it was or had changed into a police panda car.
In the story, a person looks through binoculars and sees a gallows which is not actually there. In my dream I was walking for 5 hours on a Tuesday then came to the beginning of a motorway on my left. On looking down it, I saw in the distance a number of road signs and buildings of a nearby airport and much to my surprise, I was able to see that one of the signs had something fixed on to it which was moving.
Whether I went down the motorway to get a close look or used binoculars the dream did not specify, but I saw the different signs at close range.
Horrible to relate, I also saw a gallows with a body still swinging from it.
I then tried to find a police station in order to report on this matter, but woke up before I had found one.
I dreamed that I did not walk but cycled through the valley of the Shadow of Death, and contrary to the words of the Psalm, feared evil the whole time I was in it, so felt very glad that I had my bicycle..
Five spectral figures in a procession through my local town were each like the harbinger of death in The Masque of the Red Death. All five were dressed as monks with hoods hiding their faces. All five were clearly not local people in fancy dress.
They were all dreadfully thin, and plainly skeletons under their clothing. Somehow I knew, for nobody told me, that they were the ghosts of monks who all died around 1480.
They advanced towards me merely because the procession was heading in my direction..I was looking out of an upstairs window, and felt very relieved when they turned left and went away down the High Street.
I stated earlier that I had never dreamed of a near accident and then an accident when cycling but have this week remembered what I have been taught. Messages in dreams can be conveyed symbolically.
On March 3 1990, I was riding a very old cycle in my home town against repeated advice that it was beyond repair, and as I went down to a main road, my brakes failed. I quickly swerved left into a hedge, emerging unhurt. The same day I bought a second hand bicycle.
I was riding that very same second hand bicycle on Sunday August 20 1995, a warm sunny day, and yet again against advice. I had been reminded the day before that the tyres had hardly any tread left and that I should not even ride the cycle home if home was over than 4 miles away. Preferably, I was told, I should not ride it any more at all while it was in this dangerous condition.
Foolishly I had cycled 15 miles on the Saturday and now I had cycled a further 25 miles. Past Beaconsfield Bucks I came down a hill to Wooburn Green and at the bottom, the tyre on my front wheel exploded causing me to fall from the cycle.
Instinctively I put forward my hands and knees and swerved quickly to the left into a grass verge. I had a very badly injured upper lip, though lost only a fragment of one tooth, and fingers, hands, arms and knees were covered in cuts and grazes.
It was a little after 2 pm when I was taken to Wycombe Hospital. Then I was transferred to Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Only minor injuries. Praise the Lord. I prayed that films on the hospital television would be TOTALLY non-violent and one was about a disco competition while the other was a documentary about American forests with David Bellamy, so my wish was granted.
My lip operation tok place at 11.30 pm. Fourteen stitches were put into my upper lip.
I felt so very happy to be alive and listening to music to help me relax as a skilled plastic surgeon was restoring my looks.
Undoubtedly the 1999 dream of spectral figures was a symbolic enactment of my two narrow escapes from death. Just as I in reality swerved left in order to avoid being killed in the 1990 incident, and swerved left as well as putting forward hands, arms and knees in the 1995 incident, so the spectral figures who were coming for me fortunately turned left and went away.
In the dream of Sep 8 2009, there seems to have been a speculation on what kind after-life experience I might have had had I been killed in either of the cycle mishaps.
After cycling through the Valley of the Shadow of Death following my witnessing undertakers removing the body of an old lady, three days had gone by then at last I was in a brighter world on the council estate. But coming to think of it, I found no shops, no post office and nothing to do so it was not a wonderful place but it was ordinary and close to everyday life.
This dream of Sep 8 2009 began by showing me Lonsdale Road, Barmes a road running parallel to the Thames. The only reason for this road appearing in the dream is that on Sunday July 16 2006, having failed to visit a cycle shop the day before to have tyres checked, and having omitted to carry a puncture mending kit, I had a puncture in this road after only 7 miles of cycling when trying to cycle 40 miles for charity and had to abandon the ride altogether.
There was, I am sure, a message that while my cycle maintenance had improved and I had looked after my present bicycle bought on August 26 1995 quite well, I still should have avoided that puncture or at least carried a repair kit and then I might have cycled the full 40 miles.

Local Research Study Gets National Attention
A study conducted at Central Baptist Hospital (now Baptist Health Lexington) more than 15 years ago to determine the best therapy for patients with carotid artery disease is still getting attention, much of it on a national scale.
The original study was conducted beginning in 1998 by neurosurgeon Dr. William H. Brooks, interventional cardiologist Dr. Rick R. McClure, interventional cardiologist Dr. Michael R. Jones, neurologist Dr. Timothy C. Coleman and clinical research nurse, Linda Breathitt. The study sought to compare two treatments for a common cause of stroke called carotid stenosis. Carotid stenosis occurs when there is an accumulation of a fatty substance called 'plaque' in the large arteries that supply blood to the brain. This causes narrowing of those arteries and increases the risk for stroke.
The longstanding treatment for significant carotid stenosis has been to perform a surgery called carotid endarterectomy in which the artery is opened and the plaque is stripped from the vessel. The alternative treatment, carotid stenting, offers patients a minimally invasive alternative to major surgery which can be performed in a similar manner to stents for the heart. Physicians go through the groin with a catheter, which is threaded to the area affected by stenosis. A balloon is inflated to open the vessel, and a stent is placed there which holds the vessel open permanently.
The original study's results were published in 2001 in the prestigious journals, Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) and Neurosurgery. The study showed that carotid stenting was equally effective as carotid endarterectomy in reducing carotid stenosis without an increased risk for major complications of stroke and death. Over the years, this study has been referred to in scientific circles as "The Kentucky Study."
In February 2014, JACC Cardiovascular Interventions published the 10-year follow-up results of the Kentucky study. Patients were followed for 10 years after receiving either the stent or the surgery and watched for both fatal and non-fatal stroke and myocardial infarction (heart attack) incidence.
The follow-up showed that there was no difference in the incidence of stroke regardless of which procedure the patient had. Thus, even at 10 years out, stenting was equally effective to surgery. Interestingly though, patients who had the surgery did have a 2.3 times higher risk of fatal and non-fatal heart attack. It is not clear why, but may be related to cardiac damage precipitated by the surgical procedure itself.
Both the original study and its follow-up results caught the eye of elite physicians who are editors for the aforementioned JACC medical journal. In a 2001 JACC editorial, Dr. Christopher J. White, chairman of the department of cardiology at Ochsner Clinic and Foundation in New Orleans, lauded the original study as "the largest randomized carotid artery stent versus carotid endarterectomy trial published to date." He went on to describe the study as "an excellent example of team building with a surgeon, a cardiologist and a neurologist working together to optimize patient care."
In an editorial in the February 2014 JACC Cardiovascular Interventions issue, Dr. Robert D. Safian with Beaumont Health System in Royal Oak, Michigan, suggested that – based on the Kentucky trial's follow-up report – all carotid trials may need to be extended to 5 to 10 years of follow-up.
This type of research is often thought of as occurring only in academic medical centers. It is unusual for a non-academic community hospital such as Baptist Health Lexington to conduct the caliber of cardiovascular and neurological research that it does, but because heart disease and stroke are so prevalent in Central and Eastern Kentucky, the hospital and many of physicians practicing there have devoted themselves for more than 20 years to serious, original research and participation in clinical trials.
"This study really opens a door that everybody else is going to have to look into because the data is good, and it's the first data on this subject that's this long-term," said Dr. Michael R. Jones, one of the principal investigators in both studies.
"I also think this type of national attention shines a spotlight on the superior neurological and cardiovascular services that are available at Baptist Health Lexington, a community hospital that isn't tied to an academic institution," Jones said. "None of us are university professors. We're just physicians who are committed to seeking better treatments not only for our patients, but for patients everywhere who may ultimately benefit from this research."
