This is a lovely apartment size nightly rental. Comfy with everything you need (except maybe coasters to protect their beautiful furniture) We enjoyed our stay and even used the washer and dryer included! My only complaint is that info about the place was not present, we had to call to find out about dining and the wireless password. It would have helped but did not make our stay less lovely.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this Boutique Hotel. Everything was as pictured and the town itself is so cute. It was just a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Would like to do a cooking class next time.

The room at the Glendalia was super clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the separate sleeping quarters and the kitchenette. The lady who checked us in and took us to our room was very helpful and friendly. The local stores did close a bit early so the only things to walk to in the evening were two bar/restaurants The trains whistles were a bit loud and ran several times during the night.

My wife and I decided to try out living in Cincinnati, where our daughter and her husband live. So we packed up and moved into the Glendalia for three weeks. Great location, comfortable three room apartment, great bed, great host, great value. We soon felt we were a part of the village with a bakery and wine/wine bar half a block away and a great resturant across the square. Wonderful neighborhood to walk through and explore. We have just booked a return trip and plan to make the Glendalia our Cincinnati base of operations.

I believe all 7 of our jaws dropped when we saw the size and spaciousness of our rooms. Seven women in my family were meeting from around the country to have a weekend away in Cincinnati, and the rooms were perfect for gathering together. If anything we had more space than we actually needed. The decor was lovely, well kept and clean. The hospitality of the owner went above and beyond what we expected for our weekend. We have already started to make plans to return for next year.

The service we received on our Ladies Retreat at the Glendalia was outstanding. It is privately owned, and the Hotel Manager, Doris, made us feel like we had our own personal Consierge! The rooms were huge and wonderful for the 8 of us to socialize together before going to dinner or late in the evening before bed. Mattresses and linens were amazing, continental breakfast in room was convenient, and amenities were endless. The village was so quaint we felt like we were back in time. Dinner at the Iron Horse Inn was fabulous and we enjoyed shopping the village shops. Highly recommend the wine tasting at the wine shop! This is an excellent getaway, just be aware that there is an active railroad track in the village - but every time a train went by our group would cheer (or toast!) and yell, "Train!" to make it a fun game.

The Orlando Magic were able to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers by the score of 92-80. After facing off against the Miami Heat on Thursday and head coach Mike Brown making the decision to play the starters for Lakers down the stretch despite the game being out of reach, there was a concern Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and others would have little energy playing on a back-to-back. Those fears were realized, as Los Angeles looked gas at times. Nevertheless, the Magic did their job and came away with a victory against the Lakers. Orlando was led by a balanced attack, as five players scored in double figures. Dwight Howard had his 37th career 20-20 game, the fifth of this season, and the second in a row following Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Howard finished with 21 points and 23 rebounds. Jameer Nelson had his best game of the regular season so far, putting up 17 points and nine assists. J.J. Redick contributed with 15 points and six assists. Ryan Anderson had 13 points, eight rebounds, and four steals. Jason Richardson returned to the starting lineup and doing so at the small forward position, filling in for an injured Hedo Turkoglu, chipping in with 12 points and four rebounds. Los Angeles was led by Bryant, as he showed that he had plenty in the tank despite playing for a second straight night. Bryant put up a game-high 30 points on 11-of-22 shooting from the field (including 7-of-7 from the free-throw line), eight assists, and three rebounds.
The Magic won primarily because, outside of Bryant (defended by Jason Richardson, Quentin Richardson, and Von Wafer), there was no one for the Lakers that could hit a shot consistently enough. Tired legs were an issue for Los Angeles, as they front-rimmed a lot of shots. And with Bryant getting double-teamed consistently, many of those shots on the perimeter were open looks. That being said, it's curious that Brown didn't elect to give Gasol or Bynum more touches in the post. Even though Orlando led the way practically from start to finish, there were times when their lead was threatened when Gasol and Bynum consistently got touches. Good things usually happened for the Lakers when Gasol and Bynum got the basketball, yet they didn't get it enough. Even more puzzling is the fact that Derek Fisher finished the game with 14 shot attempts in roughly 33 minutes of playing time. Despite playing more minutes, Gasol got 12 shot attempts. And again, even though he was in foul trouble for most of the game, Bynum only got six shot attempts. Yes, Los Angeles' offense is transitioning away from the Triangle Offense and with no practice time, they're learning a new system on the fly. But it seems rather incredulous that Gasol and Bynum didn't get the ball more against the Magic. Especially Gasol, given that he had a matchup advantage against Anderson.
On the flipside, Howard was dominant (though not entirely). Howard got Bynum in early foul trouble in the first quarter, something that carried over until the fourth quarter, and as a result, he had little trouble scoring when matched up against Gasol and Josh McRoberts. Orlando ran a steady dose of 4-out/1-in offensive sets throughout the game and Howard did a great job, generally speaking, of either setting up his teammates for catch-and-shoot opportunities on the perimeter or scoring for himself.
Howard's biggest problem is that he isn't playing with the type of energy and effort defensively that Magic fans have grown accustomed to seeing. Part of it is because Howard undoubtedly knows the importance of him staying on the court and not getting into foul trouble. However, that doesn't excuse the many times that he's watching instead of reacting on defense. This isn't to suggest that Howard has checked out or anything. Instead, it's more a suggestion that he's not maxing out defensively like he normally does. In a way, Howard winning the Defensive Player of the Year award in three consecutive seasons hurts him in some ways because people are so used to seeing greatness from him consistently on defense. And when Howard isn't being great defensively on a nightly basis, as has been the case this season, it's fairly easy to notice.
In any case, Howard's stat-line is nothing to sneeze at. Howard played a great game but he could have performed even better.
And lastly, it must have been nice for Nelson to have a bounce-back game against the Lakers after a dreadful performance against the Spurs. Nelson did well for himself, executing pick-and-rolls with aggression and doing a good job of blending a scoring and playmaking mentality together. With Turkoglu sidelined, Nelson had to be more of a playmaker than he needs to be and he, alongside Redick, were able to fulfill that responsibility for the Magic.

The term "historical Jesus" refers to the life of Yeshua of Nazareth from his birth in Palestine to his execution in Jerusalem.
Christianity is often considered to be divided into two wings: conservative and liberal. Each has very different beliefs about the Bible, about Jesus' earthly ministry, and about many other topics.
Thus, liberals and conservatives differ greatly about the need to search for the "historical Jesus."
They feel that the gospels contain many layers of fictional accretions which intentionally obscure the historical Jesus. They converted the Jesus of history into the Christ of faith. Only by peeling these layers away can we hope to catch a glimpse of Jesus as he actually lived. 4
A very useful summary of the search for the historical Jesus is contained on EarlyCrhistianWritings.com. This web site groups many of the leading theologians into categories, depending upon their conclusons of the nature of Jesus: Jesus as the heavenly Christ, the myth, the Hellenistic hero, the revolutionary, the wisdom sage, the man of the spirit, the prophet of social change, the apocalyptic prophet and the savior.
As stated above, religious conservatives generally deny the need for (and validity of) a search for the historical Jesus. The following essays mainly cover the search by religious liberals.
Other theologians and investigators have looked in the holy books of other religions for traces of Jesus, and believe that many of his life events in the Gospels were copied from other world savior/man-gods:

Question of the Week
browse by: questions
Botanically, an annual may be just that: a plant that lives for a year and then dies, annually, due to the nature of its life cycle. These plants may or may not actually live an entire year: they die as soon as they flower and produce seed, thus ensuring the next generation.
But horticulturally, an annual is a plant that is used for seasonal interest, and these "annuals" wouldn't NECESSARILY die each year, IF they were grown in their native habitat.
Winter annuals prefer cool temperatures and can't handle our summer heat, so we plant them in the fall or winter and enjoy them until they're killed by warmer temperatures. And summer annuals are the opposite: thriving in our heat but dying almost as soon as cooler weather arrives.
After a cold and cloudy winter, a quick burst of color from a container of cosmos, marigolds, cleomes, or zinnias in the spring are just what the doctor ordered to chase away the winter blahs. And in autumn, we may find our spirits lifted by fall rains, shorter days, and cooler nights, which signal the end of the overbearing heat. So a bed of pansies, snapdragons, larkspur, and calendula helps to wash away the energy-zapping heat-stress.
And fragrance, of course, is mood-lifting. The scent of dianthus, sweet peas, daffodils, and hyacinths in the garden can work wonders on frayed nerves.
There should be a place in every yard for a garden, and not just for vegetables. A garden is place where you can dig in the soil regularly and rotate plants according to your mood and the season, as opposed to a landscape, where plants may be shaped and maintained, but the overall look is static and changes aren't too drastic. Annuals help US transition when the climate does, and ensure that our garden is always interesting, in every season.

we found out 2 wks ago that baby #3 is another BOY.
he is healthy and growing well and it was a blessing to see a healthy bub after spending the day before the scan in hospital with suspected kidney stones.
but the night we found out in bed i broke down, it hit me hard i couldnt stop crying. i got almost no sleep and stupidly got up at 3am and started looking at my baby boy clothes which made me a blubbering mess.......
since then i have been dealing with some friends not even congratulating me, some asking if i was dissapointed and just the fear this baby wont get much attention becuase he is not the she everyone was wishing for.
i love boys and know i love him already but so so sad i will never have a daughter...
i was so sure this one was a girl.
we GD not extreme but changed our diets got ph quiet low, everything aligned up with the moon signs etc all seemed to be on track. i even went to a psycic when i was 7wks and she picked up straiught away i was pregnant (not visually u couldnt tell) and she was pretty adament i was having a girl. this psycic is really well known and a pretty higly ranked in the psycic world, i really beleived it, she was so spot on with so much, why would i doubt her..
i dont have the US pic to proove it, infact i only got 1 good pic at my scan but he was 99.9% positive it was boy and ive seen the dangly bits before and know it was a boy.
everyhwhere i look there are girls, there are siblings of 2 boys and a girl, or pigeon pairs
i was so nievly confident that we had done it i think the GD hit me by surprise........i guess it will get better over time..... will it??
DS1 April 2006 DS2 October 2007 DS3 on his way in April 2012
i also had bad morning sickness this pg and throwing up every day until 14wks...never had any ms or vomitting with ds1 & 2 so another reason i was thinking diff pregnancy diff gender

If you had to pay for her reading, get your money back, no real psychic charges money, hence there are very few true psychics.
This is all I really wanted to say. I hope things getting better for you. I can't imagine what it's even like to have a boy, but I would like to someday.

Let yourself grieve the baby girl you won't have. I found things so much easier after I just spent an evening crying and grieving. I apologised out loud to the daughter I wouldn't have that I would never see her get married, or be there when she birthed my grandchildren, I said sorry to her that she would not exist and that she would only ever remain a twinkle in the sky.
It felt a good to get it out. I hope that helps you.
Mother to (2006) and (2012)
Pretty sure we will TTC #3, but now wouldn't mind adding another , Little Mr 2012 cured my GD.

I just found out my baby #4 is a boy. I went through extreme GD with baby #3, to point of suicidal thoughts. Baby#4 was an opps, and from the moment I found out, I have been praying to God for a girl. I research, studied, prayed so hard, had people praying for me. I just didn't think God would put me through this again after the last time. I am now waivering in my faith I have had for so long. My eyes are so dry from all the crying and I can't even think straight.
I get mad at God because I believed all my life in him and then I get mad at my husband for making only male sperm. I am just very hurt. My dad died when I was 7 , so I was raised by my mom only, with three sisters and a step sister. Years later, my mom remairried and I got another step sister. All girls, only girls in my life and I am suppose to just be ok with all boys in my life?
I live in another country, I get to see my family maybe once a year if I am lucky but more like two years. I am alone, and I love my boys , but I needed a daughter.
Such a simple request that hurts no one, and yet God couldn't find it in his will to grant me a daughter.
I am more than angry and hurt.

I wouldn't blame God, it's 50/50 everytime, people should at least know that. Im wondering, why didn't you pray to God to lead you to PGD after your 2nd son? Sure it's expensive but is it worth your heartache and desire to have a daughter?
I know in my hear of hearts if I had a 2nd girl, I could only assume the 3rd would be too, it's just how we would natuarlly think. That's when id stop, esp. if I was trying for a son, the more daughters or sons in your case, the harder it gets.
[quote user="dreaminglikeelizabeth:
Well, you took the chance and became pregnant with each of them so?? I don't understand the question. We magicily can't get what we want we have to take it in our OWN hands and make it happen! Through adoption or PGD.

I wasn't really implying that, but if you work hard and save up $$ if it's your dream, if that huge of a deal it should not stop you from at least trying a high tech cycle. As far of the DH's go, they should be on board of course and share your dreams as well. If I never have a boy im not going to play the blame game and blame God or someone else because I didn't get what I wanted, im not 5 years old. I get where GD is coming from when it's dissapointment not the imsanity of thinking of aborting, divorcing, and being miserable the rest of your life because it's how things played out.
Life's too short to be anything but happy!
thanks for your replies.
it is totally crazy that i would even think of having a 4th, i havent even had number 3 yet, but ive been secretly thinking if we could go down the PGD road then maybe we could have 4 children..... but dh wanted 2 kids so i dont think he would ever want 4. Plus this will be c/s 3 for me too so i dont even know how i feel about that.
after we found out it was a boy ds1 and i went to buy a little outfit for him, TBH if ds wasnt with me i would have bought nothing.... nothing appealed to me at all, cause ive bought it all before, it seems so dull, i already had the things in my mind i wanted to buy if it was a girl which i guess made it harder to buy boys stuff.
My Dr was adamant about me getting my tubes tied during my 3rd c-sect, I hope your Dr isn't as rigid. As for the God vs physical explanations of why we get one gender or another.....I believe that God gives us the little souls that belong in our family regardless of gender.
Am wondering if it's even possible for you to have a vaginal birth after c? The only reason I had a c was because my baby was over 10lbs. trying to come out face up so I never dialated past 9cm and progress stopped. I know people have different reason for getting a c but was just wondering. I know of people who have had 4 c's. I still think of having #2 even though my #1 is only 7 months, but I can't help obessesing if the next one would be a boy or if we could ever make a boy, not that my daughter isn't perfect, she is in my eyes, but something that seems hard to explain I guess.

Crystal Lake Shines in Hancock County After Renovation
Posted: 06/25/2013
Crystal Lake is becoming the popular fishing hole among anglers in and around Hancock County, after a major renovation of the 264-acre natural lake.
The $3 million project lead by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Lakes Restoration Program included pumping out 1.3 million cubic yards of sediment, eliminating the fish population and adding a 10-acre sediment pond to trap sediment before it enters the lake. Bass, bluegill, channel catfish, crappie, walleye and northern pike were restocked beginning in 2009.
The results?
Clint Witham, of Wesley, started fishing Crystal Lake again after the lake was renovated and has been coming back regularly.
"I came as a kid with the folks, but not much since," Witham said.
He and his children were fishing from the dock at the boat ramp on the lake's southeast side. He said they often wade out to fish and have done well. They are enjoying the developing bass fishery.
"It's the first time I caught a bass on a hook and sinker," Witham said.
Now, he tries to come every weekend, and Witham isn't alone.
Anglers from surrounding counties and as far away as Des Moines and Columbus Junction have found Crystal Lake, and stopped at Sheri's Southside Convenience Store one block south of the lake.
"This past winter I sold the most bait ever over the last 17 years," said store owner Sheri Moore, of Crystal Lake. "Never have I seen this before."
Moore said that while it was difficult on business to renovate the lake, it needed to be done. Her store sells minnows, night crawlers and basic tackle, in addition to other convenience items, like gas, pop and snacks.
"When fishing is good, my sales are good," she said.
Although located near the north edge of town, Moore tied her business to the lake through the store's name.
"It's called Sheri's Southside because it's on the south side of the lake and I depend on the lake for business," she said. "The lake is everything to me."
The lake has also helped attendance at Crystal Lake County Park.
"The campground was busy on holidays, but declining on the other weekends and midweek," said Jason Lackore, naturalist for Hancock County Conservation. "The use of the lake and the park increased once the water quality and clarity improved.
"People want to go where there is good water quality and good fishing, and since the renovation, they have been coming here from all over the region as well as from Minnesota," he said.
Lackore has been the county naturalist for 13 years and said the lake use this past year was impressive.
"It was amazing how many ice shacks were here over the winter," he said.
That good fishing continued this spring.
Witham's truck is parked next to vehicles from Chickasaw, Kossuth and Winnebago counties. As more anglers learn about Crystal Lake, more will likely make their way here.
And Sheri Moore will be ready for them. She and a few partners also own the only restaurant in town. Crystal Lake Bar and Grill opens daily at 4:30 p.m. and she would be glad if anglers would stop by.

Caretaker Accused of Abuse
IOWA CITY (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- An employee of Systems Unlimited has been charged with dependent abuse after coworkers witnessed him strike an adult dependent.
Coworkers say Soji Olutunde started yelling at the victim, who was washing a water pitcher. They say Olutunde then struck the victim in the groin with a closed fist.
The victim did not sustain any physical injury. Olutunde denies the charges.

Abstract: | Makrofager kan utgjøre en betydelig del av en kreftsvulst. Det er tidligere vist at monocytter ved differensiering mot makrofager uttrykker økte mengder av enkelte cysteinproteaser. Maligne celler er vist å bruke cysteinproteaser i forbindelse med metastasering, og endogene cysteinproteasehemmere antas å kunne hemme denne prosessen. Det var derfor interessant å studere reguleringen i uttrykk og aktivitet av cystatiner ved differensiering av monocyttiske celler mot makrofager. Det ble etablert en funksjonell metode for måling av inhibitorisk aktivitet mot cysteinproteaser i laboratoriet ved hjelp av fluorometrisk måling med cysteinproteasen papain som enzym. Metoden ble brukt til å måle inhibitorisk aktivitet av cystatiner i THP-1 celler (en human monocyttliknende akutt leukemisk cellelinje), i diverse humane kreftcellelinjer, i diverse xenografter (human/mus), og i cystatin M-transfekterte HEK 293 celler (nyreepitelceller). THP-1 celler ble stimulert med PMA (40 ng/ml) i 24 timer, og dyrket i opptil 10 dager. Ved stimulering med PMA gikk cellene fra å være frittlevende monocytter til å bli adherente makrofager. Grad av inhibitorisk aktivitet ble regnet ut i inhibitoriske enheter per mg totalprotein for cellelysater og inhibitoriske enheter per ml for cellemedier. En inhibitorisk enhet ble definert som den konsentrasjonen som må til for å hemme 50 % av papainaktiviteten. Uttrykk av cystatinene C, M og F ble analysert ved hjelp av immunodeteksjon (Western blotting). Det ble sett på endring av total inhibitorisk aktivitet over tid, og en eventuell sammenheng mellom inhibitorisk aktivitet og uttrykk av cystatin C, F og M. Målingene i medieprøver fra cystatin M-transfekterte celler viste tydelig økt inhibitorisk aktivitet i de transfekterte cellene, noe som bekreftet at metoden fungerte for å måle hemming forårsaket av ekstracellulært cystatin M. Det ble observert en tidsavhengig økning i inhibitorisk aktivitet både i cellelysater og cellemedier. Uttrykk av cystatin C og M ble detektert, men ikke cystatin F. Det ble observert en sammenheng mellom den tidsavhengige økningen i ekstracellulær inhibitorisk aktivitet og uttrykk av ekstracellulært cystatin M. |

Abstract: | Natural transformation is one of three ways for bacteria to acquire genetic material (DNA) horizontally. Several hypotheses exist for why some bacteria have this ability to take up DNA, and what the incoming DNA is used for. These include use of DNA for recombination, repair or as nutrients. This master study focuses on the "food hypothesis". This hypothesis implies that the exogenous DNA is either used in the synthesis of new DNA and RNA molecules, or broken down to carbon, nitrogen and phosphate to use as energy and in synthesis of new nucleotides. The naturally transformable Acinetobacter baylyi is used as a model organism to test this hypothesis. By removing the comFECB operon from the wild type bacteria a non-transformable strain is produced. Comparisons of growth rates between these two strains in monocultures give the absolute fitness, whereas co-cultures give the relative fitness. If the comFECB operon has evolved as a means to use DNA as food, than the transformable wild type would have a fitness advantage over the non-transformable strain when DNA is the only nutrient in the growth media. Although the addition of DNA to the growth media resulted in increased growth of A. baylyi, this effect was seen in both strains, independently of functional com-genes. This implies that DNA is in fact used as nutrients by this species, but not only by natural transformable bacteria with intact comFECB operons. The experiments done in this thesis do therefore not offer support for the "food hypothesis". |

Abstract: | Innledning. Den revmatiske pasienten får ofte livslang legemiddelbehandling for sin kroniske sykdom. Behovet for legemiddelinformasjon er stort. Hensikt. Hensikten med studien var å undersøke pasientenes erfaringer med legemiddelinformasjon ved revmatologiske avdelinger på utvalgte sykehus i Norge. Studien søkte å finne ut hvem som ga informasjon, hvor tilfredse pasientene var med den, hvordan den best kunne organiseres, og om det gjorde noen forskjell om det var farmasøyt eller annet helsepersonell som ga informasjon. Metoder. En kombinasjon av kvalitative intervju med helsepersonell og en kvantitativ spørreskjemaundersøkelse for utskrevne pasienter, fra revmatologiske avdelinger ved Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge, Nordlandssykehuset, St. Olavs Hospital og Diakonhjemmet Sykehus, ble utført. Intervjuene ga bakgrunnsopplysninger for analysering av svarene i spørreskjemaundersøkelsen. Resultater. Studien hadde en svarprosent på 51% og antallet respondenter var 250. Legene ga informasjon i størst grad, etterfulgt av sykepleierne og så i minst grad farmasøytene. Et mindretall (37%) av respondentene fikk legemiddelinformasjon fra team med farmasøyt. 58% av respondentene som begynte med nye legemidler, fikk både muntlig og skriftlig informasjon, mens det var 81% av dem som foretrakk det. Respondentene var mest tilfredse med informasjon fra team med farmasøyt (p < 0,001), og med informasjon som var både muntlig og skriftlig (p < 0,001). Konklusjoner. Revmatiske pasienter er mest tilfredse med legemiddelinformasjon når de får den fra team med farmasøyt, og når den er både muntlig og skriftlig. Det er potensial for å gjøre legemiddelinformasjonen bedre for pasientene ved revmatologiske avdelinger på sykehus i Norge, og farmasøyter kan bidra til det. |

Abstract: | Escherichia coli(E.coli) belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family of gram negative rods. It is the most common cause for bacterial sepsis. According to NORM (Norwegian system for surveillance of antibiotic resistance in microbes); E.coli is the main pathogen found in blood samples from humans submitted to Norwegian microbial laboratories (page 49 NORM report 2008)(1). E.coli is also the most common cause of human urinary tract infections (The Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association) (2). Empiric treatment for sepsis and urosepsis in Norway is betalactam antibiotics in combination with aminoglycosides(3). In case of allergy, patients with urosepsis are treated with quinolones and aminoglycosides(4). There is concern related to recent years development of resistance against gentamicin (aminoglycoside) and ciprofloxacin (quinolone) among E.coli strains (page 52 NORM report 2008) (1). This work was initiated as a first step to identify the most common mechanisms for aminoglycoside resistance in Enterobacteriaceae collected in western Norway. The focus for this work was to characterize antibiotic resistance and detect the presence of the genes encoding two aminoglycoside modifying enzymes. The genes chosen encodes two enzymes from the group aminoglycoside acetyltransferases (AAC`s); aac(6`)-Ib and aac(3)-IIc (aacC2). The use of ciprofloxacin has increased markedly during the past few years. Recent studies have reported a variant of AAC(6`)-Ib characterized by two amino acid changes, Trp102Arg and Asp179Tyr. This variant called AAC(6`)-Ib-cr inflicts ciprofloxacin resistance in addition to aminoglycoside resistance. We suspected that increased use of ciprofloxacin could cause selection of isolates resistant to aminoglycosides by selecting the isolates that possess AAC(6`)-Ib-cr. We decided to examine the prevalence of aac(6`)-Ib-cr in isolates of Enterobaceriaceae resistant aminoglycosides, in order to provide either indirect support or rejection of this hypothesis. |

Abstract: | The incidence rate of malignant melanoma is increasing in Norwegian population as well as worldwide. It's one of the most aggressive human cancers showing exceptional abilities to metastasize and develop resistance to therapy, and ccurrently there are no effective treatments against metastatic melanoma. Traditionally, melanoma aggressiveness was linked to intrinsic properties of the malignant cells themselves. However, it is becoming apparent now that the tumour microenvironment (TME) factors – non-malignant (stroma) cells, soluble molecules and extracellular matrix components – can play an important role in modulating metastatic properties and drug-sensitivity of cancer cells. In the present work we investigated how various TME factors like extracellular matrix components like fibronectin and laminin and soluble factors released from mice organs – common sites of melanoma metastasis - affected melanoma cells, specifically their metastasis-associated properties like growth/proliferation and sensitivity to the experimental dug Elesclomol. The study was based on three-dimensional (3D) in vitro cultures, where melanoma cells were grown in a Collagen or Matrigel matrix in the presence of investigated factors of TME. Two melanoma cells lines, Melmet 1 and Melmet 5 derived from the metastatic melanoma patents with different clinical indications were employed. It was observed that fibronectin and laminin did not have a notable effect on cell growth or viability. However, the soluble factors from the organs showed a slight stimulating effect on cell growth and a notable effect on cell morphology and growth pattern. The latter was especially pronounced for the bone marrow-derived factors. Comparison of the sensitivity of Melmet cells to Elesclomol in 3D versus 2D revealed, that 3D cultures were less sensitive to the drug, and that Melmet 5 was less sensitive compared to Melmet 1. The sensitivity was not modulated by the soluble factors derived from the healthy or metastatic brain. |

Abstract: | Background: In a previously published report we characterized the expression of the metastasis-associated proteins S100A4, osteopontin (OPN) and ephrin-A1 in a prospectively collected panel of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors. The aim of the present follow-up study was to investigate the prognostic impact of these potential biomarkers in the same patient cohort. In addition, circulating serum levels of OPN were measured and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the −443 position of the OPN promoter were analyzed. Methods: Associations between immunohistochemical expression of S100A4, OPN and ephrin-A1 and relapse free and overall survival were examined using univariate and multivariate analyses. Serum OPN was measured by ELISA, polymorphisms in the −443 position of the tumor OPN promoter were analyzed by PCR, and associations between OPN levels and promoter polymorphisms and clinicopathological parameters and patient outcome were investigated. Results: High expression of OPN in NSCLC tumors was associated with poor patient outcome, and OPN was a strong, independent prognostic factor for both relapse free and overall survival. Serum OPN levels increased according to tumor pT classification and tumor size, and patients with OPN-expressing tumors had higher serum levels than patients with OPN-negative tumors. S100A4 was a negative prognostic factor in several subgroups of adenocarcinoma patients, but not in the overall patient cohort. There was no association between ephrin-A1 expression and patient outcome. Conclusions: OPN is a promising prognostic biomarker in NSCLC, and should be further explored in the selection of patients for adjuvant treatment following surgical resection. |

Abstract: | The metastasis-promoting protein S100A4 induces expression of ephrin-A1 and osteopontin in osteosarcoma cell lines. The aim of this study was to investigate S100A4-mediated stimulation of ephrin-A1 and osteopontin in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, and to characterize the expression of these biomarkers in primary tumor tissue from NSCLC patients. Four NSCLC cell lines were treated with extracellular S100A4, and ephrin-A1 and osteopontin expression was analyzed by real time RT-PCR and Western blotting. Immunohistochemical staining for S100A4, ephrin-A1 and osteopontin was performed on tissue microarrays containing primary tumor samples from a cohort of 217 prospectively recruited NSCLC patients, and associations with clinicopathological parameters were investigated. S100A4 induced ephrin-A1 mRNA and protein expression in adenocarcinoma, but not in squamous carcinoma cell lines, whereas the level of osteopontin was unaffected by S100A4 treatment. In primary tumors, moderate or strong immunoreactivity was observed in 57% of cases for cytoplasmic S100A4, 46% for nuclear S100A4, 86% for ephrin-A1 and 77% for osteopontin. Interestingly, S100A4 expression was associated with ephrin-A1 also in vivo, but there was no association between S100A4 and osteopontin. Expression levels of S100A4 and ephrin-A1 were significantly higher in adenocarcinomas compared to other histological subtypes, and S100A4-positive tumors were smaller and more differentiated than tumors without expression. Our findings suggest that S100A4, ephrin-A1 and osteopontin are involved in the biology of NSCLC, and further investigation of their potential use as biomarkers in NSCLC is warranted. |

Abstract: | Objective This audit was conducted by reviewing two cohorts of patients in terms of pharmaceutical care delivered by examining free text electronic records and categorising care issues into a proposed reporting system. Qualitative research methods in an action research process were used to test the validity and the utility of the reporting system. A template for an electronic pharmaceutical care plan that meets defined criteria for service developments including non-medical prescribing was proposed by the investigators. Methods The investigator identified and gathered documented care plans from samples of patients receiving pharmaceutical care during February 2008 to April 2008 using the electronic care monitoring system. The context and outcomes of each care plan were identified by obtaining additional information from paper case records and through dialogue with the clinical pharmacist authors to overcome any gaps in the free text electronic records. An existing categorisation system used at the University of Strathclyde was modified to increase the robustness and clinical usefulness and a guideline for use of the system was developed. A contents analysis of the care plans was conducted in order to categorise the care issues. The inter-rater reliability in the categorisation of the care issues in the survey was demonstrated using Cohens kappa analysis. The proposed care plan template was evaluated in terms of validity and utility for reporting care plans using an action research approach and revised in response to the feedback obtained. The survey findings were also reported to the clinical pharmacy team. Setting The survey was sited at the orthopaedic ward at the Ayr Hospital where an electronic prescribing system is in use. A clinical pharmacist is at the orthopaedic ward every day from Monday to Friday. Results Ideas generated from group meeting with the clinical pharmacist at the Ayr Hospital were among others to implement databases and forms that already are used today. The care issue section should be more structured and include functions as review date and predefined texts. The 90 patients that were included at orthopaedic ward had totally 270 care issues identified compared to the 71 patients at the cardiology ward where totally 377 care issues were identified (p<0.0001). The number of care issues per patient categorised as a Check was significant higher at the cardiology ward than the orthopaedic ward (3.8 versus 1.1, p<0.0001). The subcategory 'Change in clinical (shared) record of drug history', which includes changes in the patients drug therapy based on errors or omissions in medicines prescribed on admission, was relative high on both wards (63 issues on orthopaedic and 37 on cardiology). For both wards most of the Checks were done during the treatment of the patient and therefore categorised as a 'monitoring'. Similarly were the majority of care issues in both of the Change categories found at the 'verification' stage in the delivery of the patient's treatment. Few 'reviews' were identified among the 'Changes in drug therapy' in both settings. The inter-rater reliability test for the categorisation found the agreement to be highest within the Check and the two Change categories and poorest in the part of the system with the Quality Assurance Descriptors 'Degree of change'. Conclusion A care plan template will make the plan more structured and complete and the documentation process more effective and uniform between pharmacists. The categorisation system describes the contribution the clinical pharmacist to the patient's treatment but there is a need for a language within the pharmaceutical care. |

Abstract: | This study examines the contribution of the 3-D model in an early development set-up for pectin tablets. Therefore, the aim of this work is to extract as much information on the compression behaviour from as few tablets as possible. Pectins with various degrees of methoxylation (DM) were studied (4-72%). The compressibility was evaluated by classical "in-die" Heckel and Kawakita analyses in addition to the 3-D modelling. For validation purposes well-known reference materials were included. 3-D modelling applied on data of single tablets yielded a certain degree of information on the compressibility. When several tablets with different maximum relative densities were included, no additional information was gained in the classical evaluation, whereas the 3D-model provided additional information through the shape of the 3-D parameter plot: pectins with a DM ? 25% consolidated predominantly by elastic deformation similarly to the 3-D parameter plot of pregelatinized starch (PGS). The 3-D analysis also suggests some degree of fragmentation, and for some of the low-methoxylated pectins (DM ? 10%) viscoelastic deformation. This study showed that by application of 3-D modelling it is possible to differentiate elastic and viscoelastic materials, if tablets of different maximum relative densities are evaluated. |

Abstract: | For at en kreftsvulst skal kunne spre seg må kreftcellene ha evnen til å bryte ned den ekstracellulære matriksen (ECM) som holder dem på plass. De må også kunne bevege seg ut fra svulsten og over i lymfesystemet eller blod for å transporteres til et nytt organ. Plasminogen aktivator systemet er en samling av proteiner som aktiverer hverandre og hvor disse aktiveringene fører til nedbrytning av ECM. Det systemet er derfor med på å bidra til at kreftsvulster kan spre seg til nye vev. Urokinase plasminogen aktivator reseptoren (uPAR) er en del av dette system og er vist å være overuttrykt på overflaten til flere typer kreftceller. Det er derfor trolig at det er en sammenheng mellom overuttrykk av uPAR i kreftceller og deres evne til å spre seg. Det er også vist at uPAR kan interagere med transmembranreseptorer i integrinfamilien og at denne interaksjonen også øker evnen cellen har til å bevege seg gjennom ECM. I denne oppgaven skulle man teste ut uPAR sin påvirkning på kreftcellers evne til å bevege seg og til å bryte ned ECM. cDNAet til uPAR ble klonet og sekvensene til dette cDNAet ble bekreftet av restriksjonskutting og DNA-sekvensering. Deretter ble cDNA som kodet for uPAR forsøkt stabilt uttrykt i to forskjellige humane kreftcellelinjer slik at man kunne tesete de migratoriske og invasive egenskapene deres. Det ble også gjort migrasjons- og invasjonsanalyser på celler fra mus som hadde uttrykk av humant uPAR og hvor den ene subenheten (β1) av integrinene var slått ut. Ved denne testingen ville man også kunne si noe om interaksjonen mellom uPAR og integriner. Nivået av uPAR i alle cellelinjene ble bestemt ved hjelp av Western blot. Av ulike årsaker lykkes det ikke å få dannet stabile kloner av uPAR i verken UT-SCC-12A eller U2OSTA. De migratoriske og invasive egenskapene til musecellene GD25, GD25- uPAR, GD25β1 og GD25β1- uPAR ble testet ved hjelp av Wound Healing assay og invasjonsassay. Ut fra disse testene var det vanskelig å trekke en bestemt konklusjon om uPAR hadde påvirkning på de migratoriske og invasive egenskapene til disse cellene. |

Abstract: | Abstract Previous studies of sponges have led to the discovery of the commercially available drugs cytarabin and vidarabin. The arctic sponge Stryphnus fortis showed antibacterial and anticancer activity in the primary screening in the MabCent screening program; most likely from more than one compound. Dereplication with TOF-MS suggested the presence of ianthelline as one of the active compounds. In order to purify large amounts of the ianthelline, the extract was fractionated using flash chromatography and the fractions found to contain the active compound were combined and submitted to semi-preparative HPLC for further purification. TOF-MS, MS/MS and 1H, 13C, HMBC and HSQC NMR confirmed the presence of ianthelline in the product from the semi-preparative HPLC. Ianthelline was tested for antibacterial activity, antioxidant activity and anticancer activity. Ianthelline had a dose-response relationship antibacterial activity against E. coli, E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and MRSA, the activity was highest for S. aureus and MRSA. Ianthelline showed only a slight antioxidant activity compared to curcumin. Ianthelline showed anticancer activity against A2058 (melanoma), MCF7 (breast carcinoma) and HT29, but also killed normal lung fibroblasts (MRC5), indicating a general toxicity. Anticancer activity occurred after a minimum of 24 hours exposure of ianthelline against A2058 and normal lung fibroblast (MRC5), and after a minimum of 48 hours exposure of ianthelline against HT29. |

Abstract: | Bakgrunn: Masteroppgaven er en del av et doktorgradsprosjekt for utvikling av en klinisk farmasøytisk service for pasienter med etablert CHD. Legemiddelrelaterte problemer kan gi økte kostnader og redusert klinisk effekt av medisinsk behandling, og gode verktøy for vurdering av kvalitet i legemiddelbehandling er mangelvare. Forekomsten av CHD er økende i den vestlige verden, og en økende andel av hjerte-karpasienter behandles sekundærprofylaktisk livet ut som følge av CHD. Et verktøy for å vurdere kvaliteten i sekundærprofylaktisk legemiddelbehandling ved CHD er i denne studien validert og anvendt på en pasientpopulasjon. Verktøyet; et Medication Assesement Tool vurderer hvorvidt behandlingen som er gitt samsvarer med kliniske retningslinjer. Materiale og metode: Et tidligere utviklet MAT (MAT- CHDsp) for sekundærprofylakse ved CHD ble validert, revidert og anvendt på pasientpopulasjon med etablert CHD. Validering ble gjort før og etter revidering av MAT- CHDsp og bestod av testing av reproduserbarhet ved intra og inter – rater test, gjennomførbarhet ved tidsbruk og appliserbarhet og klinisk samsvar ved adherence. Revidert MAT- CHDsp ble retrospektivt anvendt på et materiale bestående av 298 pasienter som fikk implantert stent ved hjertemedisinsk avdeling, UNN i 2008. Resultater: Overordnet reproduserbarhet for mat MAT -CHDsp var utmerket før og etter revidering, men enkelte kriterier hadde lav reproduserbarhet. Erfaring og trening med applisering av MAT- CHDsp viste seg å gi lavere tidsbruk. Det var ingen signifikant endring av kappa før og etter revidering av MAT -CHDsp. Prevalens for CHD dominerte i aldersgruppen 60 -80år der 79,2 % av populasjonen var menn. Adherence til anbefalt behandling var overordnet moderat, der enkelte kriterium hadde problematisk adherence. Etablering av platehemmende, lipidmodifiserende og blodtrykksenkende behandling var tilfredsstillende, men der de to siste grupper hadde begrenset samsvar for oppnåelse av behandlingsmål. Fortolkning: Et MAT rettet mot sekundærprofylakse ved koronarsykdom er validert og anvendt for kvalitetssikring av legemiddelbehandling for pasientgruppen. Paradoksale resultater ved bruk av Cohen`s kappa kan ha bidratt til usikker reproduserbarhet hos enkelte kriterium og det anbefales inklusjon av separate mål for enighet ved fremtidig bruk av kappa som mål for reproduserbarhet. Fordeling av MI og AP for pasienter med koronarsykdom viser liten kjønnsmessig forskjell der tileggsdiagnoser som hypertensjon, DM og KOLS inkluderer sykdomsbildet hos flere av pasientene. Samsvar til sekundærprofylaktisk legemiddelbehandling synes tilfredsstillende, men der oppnåelse av behandlingsmål er begrenset. |

Abstract: | Abstract Background Pharmaceutical care planning is increasingly seen as the most effective manner by which to deliver pharmaceutical care services to the patient. The role of the pharmacist, both specialist and generalist, is paramount, as much of the treatment in Mental Health is dependent on the effective management of the patients medication(1). Consequently, there is a need for standardised pharmaceutical care planning within the speciality. In Scotland, the Mental Health Pharmacy Strategy Group (MHPSG) commissioned a project to develop and implement a care plan document that could be used at a national level. This project has taken on the recommendations from that study to re-design and validate a standardised document for pharmaceutical care planning in a psychiatric in-patient population. Methods Recommendations from the MHPSG's study and candidate care issues specific to mental health pharmacy were identified and incorporated into the re-design of the care plan document. A small field test was then conducted in NHS Lothian, where 12 care plans were completed by six pharmacists. Feedback from this study was used to re-develop a 2nd draft, which was subjected to peer review and assessment by focus group discussion. The focus group consisted of clinical mental health pharmacists from different health board areas who discussed the content, layout and general utility of the document. Findings from this discussion informed the re-development of a final version of the care plan document. Results A four page standardised document that will enable a uniform care planning approach within mental health pharmacy. Conclusion The development of a national care planning system is a labour intensive process. This project has managed to produce a care plan that may be used as a standard within mental health in-patients after further validation. Whilst the majority of pharmacists are aware of its benefits, several issues became apparent which may impede its implementation and use. |

Abstract: | Beboere på sykehjem ofte flere og kompliserte medisinske problemer. Dette skyldes at de bruker i gjennomsnitt fem legemidler fast daglig og at alder, organfunksjon, mentalsvikt og ernæringstilstand kan gjøre dem mer følsomme for bivirkninger og interaksjoner. Legemiddelbehandlingen blir derfor kompleks og medfører stor risiko for legemiddelrelaterte problemer. Legemiddelgjennomganger kan være et kvalitetssikrende tiltak for å håndtere legemiddelrelaterte problemer. Formålet med denne oppgaven var å finne en god arbeidsmetode for legemiddelgjennomganger på sykehjem, vurdere screening som metode og NORGEP-kriteriene som inklusjonskriterier. Fire sykehjem ble inkludert i kartleggingen av NORGEP-kriteriene og seks sykehjemsleger ble invitert til å delta i legemiddelgjennomganger. Totalt ble 164 pasienter inkludert i NORGEP-kartleggingen. Syv pasienter fikk sin legemiddelbehandling vurdert i en legemiddelgjennomgang. Blant de 164 inkluderte pasientene, hadde 54 % av pasientene treff på minst ett kriterium. Fem pasienter hadde treff på fire kriterier. Blant de syv pasientene som fikk en legemiddelgjennomgang, hadde seks pasienter treff på NORGEP-kriteriene. Alle disse seks hadde treff på kriterium 36 som førte til endringer i legemiddelbehandlingen. Blant de syv pasientene ble 14 legemidler gitt fast og 18 behovsmedisiner seponert. Det ble utarbeidet en metode for legemiddelgjennomganger, men det må gjøres flere legemiddelgjennomganger, da denne studien inkluderer for få pasienter til å konkludere. NORGEP-kriteriene ble vurdert mer klinisk relevant enn de fleste interaksjonene funnet i interaksjonsdatabaser, som kan tyde på at de er gode inklusjonskriterier. |

Abstract: | Introduction — The aim of Edinburgh Improved Anticipatory Care and Treatment (IMPACT) service is to reduce admissions and re-admissions to hospital for people with LTCs. The service consists of nurse case managers co-ordinating patients' care, including reviewing medication. As a pilot project, an arrangement was made to refer such patients to a team of primary care pharmacists for clinical medication review. This project will examine the pharmaceutical care needs of this particular patient group and prepare an electronic system for reporting pharmaceutical care contributions in the evaluation of this service. Methods — A model of care for COPD was generated to characterise the pharmaceutical care needs of patients recruited into the anticipatory care service from a pharmacy perspective. A generic database was designed for the purposes of characterising patients and for addressing their pharmaceutical care needs. Anonymous and categorised pharmaceutical care plans from the pharmacists conducting the medical reviews was used to populate the database. A pharmaceutical care plan for COPD was proposed to match the database. A qualitative research approach was used in order to design the potential clinical tools in response to specific feedback obtained from a nominal group. The nominal group consisted of pharmacists, three from the primary care pharmacists and one specialist pharmacist. Results — There were 21 patients' pharmaceutical care plans included for analysis of care provided to 13 females (62%) and 8; males (38%). The mean age was 74 years (SD 10, range 51-88). COPD are present in 57% of the records (n=12), ischaemic heart failure in 43% (n=9), chronic heart failure in 33% (n=7), chronic kidney disease 33% (n=7), depression in 29% (n=6), myocardial infarction in 29% (n=6), hypertension in 29% (n=6), and diabetes type 2 in 24% (n=5). There were 127 pharmaceutical care issues identified, an mean of 6 care issues per person. Checks accounted for 46 (36%), and there were 65 (51%) changes in drug therapy, and 16 (13%) changes in drug therapy process. The most common drug therapy problem was inappropriate compliance in 35% (n=23) out of all drug therapy problems identified (n=65). The database was face validated by the nominal group and is fit for purpose. Discussion — The population of the database toolkit was done to demonstrate the functionality of reporting important outcomes from the pilot. For further work it is possible to link disease, medications, and pharmaceutical care issues, which will produce reports indicating the kind of medications or diseases / co-morbidities that are generating most problems. The database is fit for purpose and can be used for further evaluating the medication reviews conducted by pharmacists. It can also be a teaching tool for use during pharmacy education. |

Abstract: | o determine the genetic composition of the first VanA-type plasmid (pIP816) reported, which was isolated from a clinical Enterococcus faecium (BM4147) strain in France in 1986, and to reveal the genetic units responsible for the dissemination of the vanA gene cluster by comparisons with current, published and additionally generated vanA-spanning plasmid sequences obtained from a heterogeneous E. faecium strain collection (n = 28).Plasmid sequences were produced by shotgun sequencing using ABI dye chemistry and primer walking, and were subsequently annotated. Comparative sequence analysis of the vanA region was done with published plasmids, with a partial vanA plasmid (pVEF4) reported here and to >140 kb of sequence obtained from a collection of vanA-harbouring plasmid fragments. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that pIP816 from 1986 and contemporary vanA plasmids shared a conserved genetic fragment of 25 kb, spanning the 10.85 kb vanA cluster encoded by Tn1546, and that the larger unit is present in both clinical and animal complexes of E. faecium. A new group II intron in pVEF4 was characterized. Comparative DNA analyses suggest that Tn1546 disseminates in and between clonal complexes of E. faecium as part of a larger genetic unit, possibly as a composite transposon flanked by IS1216 elements. |

Abstract: | Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) blocks metastasis in melanoma xenografts; however, its usefulness as a biomarker in human melanomas has not been widely studied. The goal was to measure BRMS1 expression in benign nevi, primary and metastatic melanomas and evaluate its impact on disease progression and prognosis. Paraffin-embedded tissue from 155 primary melanomas, 69 metastases and 15 nevi was examined for BRMS1 expression using immunohistochemistry. siRNA mediated BRMS1 down-regulation was used to study impact on invasion and migration in melanoma cell lines. A significantly higher percentage of nevi (87%), compared to primary melanomas (20%) and metastases (48%), expressed BRMS1 in the nucelus (p < 0.0001). Strong nuclear staining intensity was observed in 67% of nevi, and in 9% and 24% of the primary and metastatic melanomas, respectively (p < 0.0001). Comparable cytoplasmic expression was observed (nevi; 87%, primaries; 86%, metastases; 72%). However, a decline in cytoplasmic staining intensity was observed in metastases compared to nevi and primary tumors (26%, 47%, and 58%, respectively, p < 0.0001). Score index (percentage immunopositive celles multiplied with staining intensity) revealed that high cytoplasmic score index (≥ 4) was associated with thinner tumors (p = 0.04), lack of ulceration (p = 0.02) and increased disease-free survival (p = 0.036). When intensity and percentage BRMS1 positive cells were analyzed separately, intensity remained associated with tumor thickness (p = 0.024) and ulceration (p = 0.004) but was inversely associated with expression of proliferation markers (cyclin D3 (p = 0.008), cyclin A (p = 0.007), and p21Waf1/Cip1 (p = 0.009)). Cytoplasmic score index was inversely associated with nuclear p-Akt (p = 0.013) and positively associated with cytoplasmic p-ERK1/2 expression (p = 0.033). Nuclear BRMS1 expression in ≥ 10% of primary melanoma cells was associated with thicker tumors (p = 0.016) and decreased relapse-free period (p = 0.043). Nuclear BRMS1 was associated with expression of fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7; p = 0.011), a marker of invasion in melanomas. In line with this, repression of BRMS1 expression reduced the ability of melanoma cells to migrate and invade in vitro. Our data suggest that BRMS1 is localized in cytoplasm and nucleus of melanocytic cells and that cellular localization determines its in vivo effect. We hypothesize that cytoplasmic BRMS1 restricts melanoma progression while nuclear BRMS1 possibly promotes melanoma cell invasion. |

What you see is what you get when it comes to Li Wei's gravity defying photography. Although it would be much easier to photoshop people into a stock image to achieve a similar effect, all of Li Wei's shots are taken on location, relying solely on wire harnesses to suspend his subjects in mid-air; thus making them all the more incredible. According to the Beijing-based artist, "There's a visceral feeling of shooting on location that can't be duplicated on a computer," although he does use photoshop to remove the visible wires from his images.

The Difference Between Holland and the Netherlands
Next time you're off to Holland to pick some tulips you're going to be far, far more informed about the place… and far more correct in identifying what it is. As this excellent and quickly paced video from the epic CPG Grey points out, there is a massive misunderstanding about the tulip growing, windmill building, hagelslag eating, container ship moving, ocean conquering nation… most importantly that it's called the Netherlands and "Holland" is actually just its two most populous provinces.

All Taped Up- Funny Face Photography
With nothing more than a lot of scotch tape and some willing participants, Wes Naman transforms normal looking people into cartoon characters! According to edotmag, Naman got the idea for this project last year at Christmastime when his assistant Joe Godfrey used the tape from his present to bend his nose in a silly way. Godfrey was a good sport and let Naman tape up his face in crazy ways for some good laughs and photos. Now, a year later, he has an entire Scotch Tape Series that looks like plastic surgery gone horribly awry. [Read more…]

RE: Evil Polyshades to the rescue???? (Follow-Up #29)
posted by: Redbazel on 11.09.2005 at 08:35 pm in Woodworking Forum I just caught this thread while looking for information on refacing some bath cabinets. Most interesting and I love chiefneil's door. I may try the blend on something I've been considering.
Since confession is good for the soul, here I go: My Name is RED and I have used Minwax Polyshades. I KNOW that sanding and staining are what proper ladies do, but I needed a plan that I knew I could do. Painting high-ceilinged rooms does not daunt me. Sewing window treatments is a snap. Picking out just the right piece at an estate sale and working it over for my house is just plain fun. But sanding/staining? I just can't. Husband won't. So after I asked him if I could paint my kitchen orangey oak cabinets and got a Freezing Look, I found the Polyshades. Being young (47) and naive, I didn't know that decent people don't do polyshades. So one day I cleaned my kitchen cabinets really well and mixed a little Bamboo Mahogany with some Antique Walnut and applied near the toekick. Nothing fell off and there were no sirens. I still felt a little weird, (Have since gotton educated and know it's normal to feel funny when you do something wrong) so I rubbed it off right away. But then, the next day I came back and rubbed on some more. I did the same application process as chiefneil with the old tee shirt. My reasoning was, that if I rubbed it on, I would have more control and could rub it off fast if there were a problem. Later, I tried one cabinet with a good stain brush. The brush put the product on darker, but it was streaky so I went back to the tee shirt. In a couple of hours I had all my cabinets done. The next day I added a coat. The color changed subtley from a worn out faded orangey oak to more of a fruitwood color. They looked new. I still haven't upgraded to new handles/knobs, but I'm 50 now and move slowly. I'm truly sorry I did this Bad Thing, except for 3 things: NOTES: <none>

The Voice Finale 2012: Christina Aguilera vs Adam Levine
Tonight is the much-anticipated 2012 season finale of The Voice but the competition seems less about the actual contestants and more about two of the judges at this point.
Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine have been butting heads all season (some might refer to it as sexual tension ) but things got very heated between the two last night when Adam took a jab at Christina with the song he chose for his contestant Tony Lucca.
Tony performed Jay-Z's hit song 99 Problems which refers to the word "b-tch" several times. Needless to say, Christina took the lyrics as a personal jab and didn't hesitate to make it known when she gave her comments after the performance.
"Your beautiful wife and your daughter and family are here tonight," she told Tony after his performance, "and I just thought, you know, the lyrical connotation was a little derogatory towards women, but all-in-all, it was good fun."
What I personally find interesting is that Christina has the nerve to give her opinion on what's derogatory towards women after performing her hit song "Dirrrty" in an outfit that can nly be described as offensive towards women.
We'll undoubtedly see a lot more tension – and probably a lot more drama – tonight on the finale but before it begins, we have to ask:
Team Xtina vs. Team Adam – Whose side are you on?
Aguilera IS a B—ch. She is definitely very talented, I won't take that from her, but what she said and did with regard to Lucca (like him or not) was more than childish, it was mean. Over the 2 sessions she has made it very clear that she has no class and is a HUGE narcissist.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this with all folks you really understand what you are speaking about! Bookmarked. Kindly additionally seek advice from my site =). We can have a hyperlink trade arrangement between us

Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler created the "War Horse" puppets. | Pieter Hugo photo
"War Horse" is based on the best-selling 1982 children's novel by British writer Michael Morpurgo.
A sketch shows the design of the "War Horse" puppets.
The "War Horse" puppet Joey existed on paper before hitting the big stage.
"War Horse" runs Dec. 18 through Jan. 5, 2013, at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago.
The performers in "War Horse" must manipulate hand controls, coordinate gestures and footwork, and have enough stamina to bring the skeletons of the two primary horses to life.
The horse teams in "War Horse" underwent a three-week rehearsal period just to learn how to walk, gallop, breathe and learn where the impulse to move must come from.
"We've got a structural 'horse Bible' for each of the puppets," said Matt Acheson, associate puppetry director of the New York and touring productions of "War Horse."
"War Horse" follows the story of Joey, a foal bought in a contentious auction in Devon, England, and raised and cared for by a young boy, Albert, with whom he develops a powerful bond.
The 20th century was torn by so many enormous conflagrations that World War I, which raged throughout Europe from 1914 to 1918, and was dubbed by H.G. Wells as "the war that will end war," now seems nearly as remote as the Trojan War. But …

This extremely popular picture really strikes me as deserving its renown in every way; I'm a little surprised to think I haven't seen it here before. I used to be very taken by these ostentatiously stark bathroooms with outrageously stylish, usually Italian fixtures and lighting; but I never did appreciate until I saw this picture, what a godsend they are as a stage for the extravagant lushness of the heroic jock form. But even then, the shadowing of the neck behind the sweep of the trapezius is a perfectly killing effect - or would you say not? Seldom have I been so inclined to spend an afternoon counting vertebrae.

Want the answers to questions about the iPhone? You'll find questions and answers here.
iphone 4 IOS 7
thank you for responding but each time i try to update it says ''software update failed''
oh, just gone down to 15 hours remaining.....
I have also have tried 3 or 4 times and it failed
I am currently trying to update IOS 7 on my 4s but my screen says"About 27 hours remaining"!!!!!
Are you having a laugh apple??
When it comes up to 'Agree or Disagree' with the terms.... disagree three times and on the fourth time agree! Should then work!
Sounds far fetched i know - but me and my mate just both did it - had us in stitches because it actually worked!
after mine bricked, I connected to iTunes and it built it back up, restoring firmware, OS and then apps from backup. It ended up being iOS7
My theory is that if you don't have plenty of free space on it to begin with, updating will fail, so try removing music or something to give it space to install.
Or you can plug your phone on the computer, can update through iTunes. I have an iPhone 4 and it worked for me.

It's become obvious that the public's interest in professional football has at least temporarily faded as a result of the work stoppage. It feels weird to write this, but the viewership was down for last night's NFL draft.
The first round was watched by 7 million people on NFL Network and ESPN last night, according to MSNBC's Darren Rovell. That's a 15 percent drop-off from the 8.3 million that tuned in last year.
Some potential factors:
1) The lockout. Obviously.
2) The Royal Wedding. Just kidding.
3) The lack of sex appeal. Let's face it: Cam Newton's a big name, but after him there was a massive drop-off in terms of star power at this year's draft. Last year's draft wasn't exactly filled with rockstars, but I think Tim Tebow might have been a bigger draw than Newton.
At the end of the day, this entire thing can probably be blamed on the labor situation.
But don't panic, NFL fans. Some context: the draft still nearly doubled two NBA playoff games in terms of viewership.

Saturday was family time for the Deans! Egypt Daud Dean and his mom Alicia Keys and dad Swizz Beatz all hit the Jam Sessions yesterday in Houston. And the fam took in the Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star festivies courtside with lots of celebs also in tow.
Pics inside…
Yep..he's ready for his close-up. Now that Alicia Keys is the Global Cretive Director for Blackberry, she taking her phone everywhere. Yesterday, she snapped pics of her 1 and a half old baby boy Egypt with all the big guys of All Star weekend, including Shaq.
Spike Lee got in on the tech talk courtside.
Too cute.
Alicia, who is belting out the National Anthem at tonight's big game, did a few rehearsals in her brown and gold Giuseppe Zanotti combo zip wedge sneakers. She tweeted the pics saying:
Checking that everything sounds right for tomorrow's #NBAAllStar Game halftime show. Sounding craaaazzzzyy!!!
Also spotted at yesterday's festivities–Kevin Hart, Ne-Yo, East team captain Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony. These pants and shoes D!
Drake stopped by the Deans' section to say wassup. And then went H.A.M. over the dunks.
2 Chainz made his way courtside.
And also kicked it with Bron Bron.
Former Laker (now Suns baller) Shannon Brown chilled out with his wife Monica and his former teammate Kobe Bryant and Vanessa.
Cute. Mrs. Bryant is making sure to be front and center at every single event this year. Not even mad.
And Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant had some fun with their former OKC teammate, who now plays for Houston, James Harden.
Fun times!
