Here's a question that should cause no controversy: What do you use on your hands? I asked some time last summer about glove wearing and got a variety of responses but I was wondering if anyone had anything special they used to moisturize/soften etc.? My question comes about after looking at my counter and noticing several different sorts of lotions and realizing none of them fully fits the bill however my most used brand is Eucerin Dry Skin Cream which is really more like a salve...Anyway, if anyone has anything they swear by please let us know..Thanks, Randi |

Well, I was going to recommend Bag Balm, but I'm reconsidering that just now. I really like the Johnson's Baby Lotion, original and the nourishing milk formula. I use it on the kids anyway, so I might as well take advantage of it. But for chapped, rough hands, Bag Balm is really good. Ray |
I like Johnson's too! But, one of our Sat. Mkt. vendors makes an herbal salve, like bag balm that works wonders...so when my hands are really bad, I use that at night! How do you all get your hands "clean" when they're rough and have cracks, like mine always do, starting about now! I hide my hands in public!!! :) |

I use a cream that's called 'Gloves in a Bottle'. It isn't one of the silicone gloves, but it works something like that, only better. You put it on and you're protected from the corrosive effects of fertilizer, disinfectants, and cleaners. It makes it much easier to clean your hands when you're finished working. (Paint wipes off instead of having to be removed with paint thinner, etc.) If you massage it into your cuticles, it helps there, too. You shed it with your skin, so you don't have to scrub off the GIAB at the end of the day. I also wear regular gloves whenever I can. Protects from lots of scrapes and so on. And the ever faithful soap under fingernails to keep them clean works. Ray |
Thanks randimoore: I've been wanting to ask this question forever, but had more pressing matters! My all time favorite for both therapeutic effects and scent is Crabtree and Evelyn's Gardener's Hand creme in the brown tube. Rich and thick, it helps the most offended hands or fingers improve overnight. Less expensive and equally rich is a lanolin-based Vitamin A and D enriched cream that is a lotion version of the bag balm commonly found in farm/feed stores. The manufacturer is out of Iowa and I believe the company starts with "D" but other than that, google isn't helping me out much for a name. The cream comes in a tub with dispenser or in tubes. Orange, white and black packaging. Next time I travel back to the midwest I will get more and look up the company for my local feed store to hopefully stock- it's a great cream to heal up small cracks overnight and help dirt/foreign substances stay away or wash off more easily. Cheaper than dirt as well! Aveeno is a good product, but spendy and no better than the farm store cream. My worst wounds ( i should be thankful and am,) are those annoying little open cracks in the end of your thumb or fingers that you have to keep using at a busy time of the season, and keep hitting or riling somehow to reopen the cracked wound. This happens to me every cold/wet Fall digging dahlia tubers despite gloves.... If anyone has a good cure for those I'm all ears. |
I keep forgetting to use ANY cream, and I probably have a dozen by my bed! Too tired at the end of the day! When I do use some, I have a tube of Mary Kay's overnight super something concoction: the Satin Hands line. Thick, almost greasy, but wonderful feeling the next morning. The Satin Hands "ordinary" handcream is also divine. Also on the bedside table are a container of Shea Butter (there was a LONG thread on this on maybe this forum, or one over on That Home Site a year or more ago, w/ close to a hundred responses, and those people raved about Shea Butter, being FAR better than anything w/ Mineral Oil in it), a jar of unscented thick cream from Restoration Hardware, various Bath & Body Works' items. One of the B & B lotions is almost as nice as the Mary Kay Satin Hands' product. I've had good results w/ Udder Cream, which might be similar to BagBalm. I treat myself to fake fingernails, and have been for almost a year. If my own were strong, I'd skip the fake ones. Fake ones look okay for a few days, then decline rapidly. But I NEVER have to worry about a nail snagging on laundry, I can dig/plant/ etc to my heart's content, and except for the dirt ground in around the nails, and the rough skin on my hands, the "fake nails" make my hands look nice! LOL! Truely, if I didn't have the fake ones, my nails would be bitten short, the cuticles ragged, and there'd be NOTHING nice for people to look at (self included!) --hand hiding here, too! Susi. |
I like Burts Bees hand ointment. Comes in round flat tin about 4" across and a texture like vasoline but smelling of strong herbs. THere are several others I have used but always come back to Burts. Badger makes some but they are petroleum based and I prefer a plant oil or lanolin based one..something really greasy that settles into all the cracks. IT has to be a tough one. Lotions are nice and smell good but too light weight. |

I tried a really nice hand cream at walmart yesterday. it is hemp and smells tropical (reminds me of hawaii). a large bottle also. |
My vote is in for Burt's Bee Hand Salve. Yes, it is greasy at first, but it soaks into your hands. Great "Herb" smell. Kind of like rosemary. I also like the burts bee lip salve. When I'm in a real hurry I wipe some of the hand salve onto my lips also, probable the same stuff as their lip salve. Heidi |
Here is the stuff I like, mentioned above. I like Burt's Bees salve to for both lips and hands. |

Burts it is. Yes, it's pretty greasy when you put it on, and a strong scent as well, but if your hands are in rough shape, as all of ours are during our season, then those wimpy lotions just won't do. My husband has problems with cracked finger tips, and for him, nothing works like bag balm. I like burts the best. And hey, it even says on the tin, "A farmers friend". So there you have it! Cheryl |

I just thought I would toss this in, but you may already know it. Before you can put on the cream, you have to get rid of the dirt. And the only thing I use any more is Boraxo Powdered Hand Soap. It's gentle on your hands, but really gets the dirt out/off. My brother the grease monkey says it gets his hands clean, too. It can sometimes be hard to find, and if the store has it, it's either on the very top or very bottom shelf. Sue |

Pooch, are you talking about CORONA cream? In the yellow tube with black and red writing? I've got some here, says for horses, cattle, etc-- it's bag balm with a different name. Same basic ingredients. I'm good at creams because my daughter had hellacious eczema for the first year of her life ... bag balm worked wonders on her shredded, dried out legs (same stuff as this CORONA cream)... It's good but it STINKS. I HATE the smell. Burt's Bees is good- doesn't work quite as well IMO but the smell is much more pleasant. I also like Aquaphor, the pricier version of Eucerin cream. But nothing really helps my cracked cuticles ... Yuck. Oh and then sometimes I let my nails get too long and they start shredding and cracking, too... what a mess. Kristen |
No, KristenMarie, I linked what I was talking about above: it's a cream version of udder balm made by Dionne, light to no scent, not as greasy as vaseline-based Bag Balm but riddled with lanolin, Vit A and D. Works very well and I'm out of it, wouldn't you know. |

Ah yes, wrecked hands, the occupational misery all gardeners have in common! For those nasty, painful skin cracks near the top of the fingernail, that just won't go away, I use Burt's Bees hand salve (it's called Farmer's Friend) or Bag Balm or another product I get from a local crafter that is very similar, only slightly waxier, and heavily lavendar-scented. The waxier and thicker, the better. Whichever I use, after washing thoroughly, I apply the salve liberally - really glob it on, especially in and around the cracks - just before bed, then put a clean white sock over each hand. I suppose cotton gloves would work as well but I don't have any, and socks work just fine. Leave the socks/gloves on all night. By morning, all the skin is soft and the cracks don't hurt any more. I don't use a fresh pair of socks on my hands every night, just keep re-using the already-salve-impregnated gloves, which work better, the more salve they have absorbed (yes, I wash them eventually!). When I have cracks like that, I'm more motivated to use gloves when I'm working. I use rubber/plastic household gloves, not the thin ones for dishwashing, but one grade thicker than that. They are orange and come in see-through plastic packages here. I don't like anything heavier because then I can't feel what I'm doing through the gloves, and don't like anything lighter because I poke holes in them. If it's too cold for rubber gloves, I wear a pair of polypro glove liners and wear one size larger household gloves to go over them (I buy both sizes routinely - it's cold here more often than not). As far as I'm concerned, cloth gloves are worse than nothing. I can't feel through them BUT the dirt still gets through and stains my hands. You can use any of the heavier waxy/Vaseline-y salves under your garden gloves, too, for even happier skin, unless it's so hot your hands are sweating in there. In that case, don't bother with salves until your gloves are off. Ray, where do you get your Gloves in a Bottle stuff? It sounds like it's worth a try. I'm wondering if it's anything like the crafter-made lavender-scented stuff I use, which is actually named Before the Garden and is meant to be put before working, to keep the dirt from adhering. I love the stuff but don't use it that way - it wears off too soon for me and therefore ends up being a waste of money. I love using it for my night treatment, though. It's very waxy. Jeanne |

We get ours through a local industrial jobber who services the industrial parks, but you can go to www.glovesinabottle.com--I'm not posting it as a link. It costs $13-14 dollars for an 8-ounce bottle plus shipping, so it's kind of pricey, but a bottle lasts a long time. It isn't a softening cream; it's designed to function as a thin, chemical-resistant glove. It is an alternative to a latex glove for those who are latex-sensitive. The molecules of the cream bond with the cells of your skin. As you shed the skin cells, you also shed the cream, so you don't have to scrub it off. I've used it as a protectant for poison ivy, lime, hay dust, sodium hypochlorite, and all kinds of cleaners. It won't protect against everything, but it does a lot. One nice thing about it is that you can spread it on skin gloves can't cover--arms, legs. And you sweat through it, so you don't have the damp squishies of gloves. Ray |
AHAVA Hand Cream made with dead sea salts is excellent and repairs cracked fingers enough to go public in one day. My dil first bought this in Isreal and after she raved about it I got online. I buy it direct from Isreal at a good price if I buy the amount to get the best shipping. It is also sold in upscale touristy type shops here in the states. Link below is to my source. |

I was born with very dry skin and have dealt with it all my life. In school, kids used to tease me because my skin was so dry and wrinkled and looked like "old peoples skin". Consequently I have tried, at one time or another, almost every product in my search for something really wonderful. At a herb festival last year I discovered one that is at the top of my list and is made by Laughing Rabbit Soap Company in Choctaw, Oklahoma. See their website www.lrsoaps.com. The product is called "Emu Hand and Body Butter" I have Burt's Bees and it's okay and found that Bag Balm was a waste of money for me as are most of the rest. I was using Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion by Galderma Labs and thought that was pretty darn good but this Emu stuff is wonderful. Bob |
For bad cracky hands might I suggest an oldfashioned product called Mazon.. my Gran used it and so do I 40 years later.never fails M |
I just saw this product for painful, cracked skin at the grocery store last night. I have no idea if it works, but for those who are badly affected it might be worth a try. Nexcare First Aid, Skin Crack Care |

I have not found anything that quite compares to O'Keefe's Working Hands Creme - formulated by a dairy farmer's pharmacist daughter - because her fathers hands would get so cracked and bloody he couldn't work. This stuff is wonderful and FAST! Go to www.workinghandscreme.com. An 8 oz tube is about $5.99 |

Debbie.....WOW....I just love this Emu Hand and Body Butter. After I read this I ordered two jars online. It is indeed a great product and the scent is nice also. Also, what delightful people to deal with...they enclosed a personal note and sent a purse sized butter and soap free. thanks for the recommendation. |
and wouldn't you know I already have one of those annoying thumb-end cracks formed on my dominant thumb. I'll be scouting out these posts and recommendations again sooner than I wished. I'm tempted to order the Emu cream just to deal with someone who encloses a personal note! How very nice. |
msgreenjeans, I'm confused. Did you order the Emu Hand and Body Butter that Bob recommended, or the Ahava products from Israel that Debbie recommended? I'm sure both are great, maybe I ought to order both and compare! Susi. |

Hey, sorry about addressing my previous praise about the Laughing Rabbit Emu cream to Debbie when I should have said "Bob"! the products are available at www.lrsoaps.com. |
I am so happy that the Emu Hand and Body is making a hit with folks. I wouldn't have recommended it if I wasn't certain about the benefits as I have tried so, so many products. The folks who make and sell the stuff are just as nice in person as they seem by mail. Bob |
Well, I'm in trouble... because of nails cracking into the quick, I've been wearing latex (and sometimes, non-latex) gloves sold in any store like Target. And then I started getting weird little bumps under the skin of my palms, in little quarter-sized patches, and these bumps itched so much I thought I had some kind of chigger-type parasite. Noooooo. The doc said, "it's from too much handwashing, doctors get it all the time" and I said, "well, how about spending all morning every morning in sweaty plastic gloves?" and he said, "yup, that will do it" and prescribed a steroid cream. :( Booo! But anyway, the emu stuff sounds great but my problem is more vertical cracks down the center of my nails, especially the thumbs, into the quick, more than cracks in the skin. Does anybody know of a nail product? maybe some kind of equine hoof salve, if such a thing exists? |

what i usually do it after i wash my hands put ona good hand lotion. I have it setting by the sink all the time that way i cant forget. The other thing you might want to try is vaseline ( which yes will make your hands repell water ) which will help hold in the moisture. Or a really strong foot cream might work because they are made for moisturizing tough dry skin. Wishi could do more. Good luck! |
- Posted by kmickleson z9 CA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 27, 05 at 21:41
When I get a skin crack, I do the lotion or whatever thing, & then, before I go to bed I dab Vaseline onto the cut & put a bandaid on it. By morning it's usually healed. Don't know if it'd work for the nails, but it's worth a try. Karen |

Hi Guys, I am a lurker and usually read and absorb all the truly great knowledge on this forum...don't have a favorite hand cream, but for the small cuts, nicks and cracks, try using the liquid skin, available at any pharmacy...not exactly cheap as would need to be applied regularly, but actually "seals" the cut or nick with a layer that keeps them from splitting further....hope this helps :>) I enjoy this forum!!

After decades of search for a solution to my severely dry hands and peeling cuticles, I have finally found a product that really works. I have used literally hundreds of different products over the years, from the cheapest to the most expensive. A great product for anyone who has severely dry skin or uses their hands lot for gardening and housework like I do, is a very reasonably priced product called Mi Fine Skin. The top two ingredients are glycerin and lanolin They make a soapless, fragrance-free cleanser, a lotion and a nice thick cream. I use the lotion during the day and the cream along with a high grade lanolin called "Lanisoh" (available in drugstores in the baby product aisle) or from drugstore.com at night (with cotton gloves on my hands). The Mi Fine skin products make your skin feel soft and moisturized and my cuticles are as smooth as silk. Many of those other products made my skin feel worse, not better and were often heavy and greasy---yuck! The Mi Fine Skin lotion and cream have a very subtle fragrance, but it's not bothersome (I had eczema as a child, so I have sensitive skin on my hands and if this fragrance doesn't bother me, it won't bother anyone) and does not compete with other fragrances you might be wearing. I have had the worst luck with many skin moisturizers that contain petroleum or mineral oil (made my problem of peeling, dry skin much much worse)---the Mi Fine Skin products don't contain this ingredient (or 25 other ingredients that have the potential to irritate). For the first time I feel as if I have normal skin on my hands. I strongly urge anyone who's looking for a solution to their dry skin woes to give these products a try! You can find them at www.mifineskin.com or by calling them at 1-800-433-1477. They will send you a free sample if you wish to try the products before purchasing them. Good luck and thanks for this discussion! If you have questions, please let me know. |

I have been using Hemp Chanvre I found at the "Body Body Shop" in the Seattle Airport. So far that is the best for penetrating my crusty layers and cuticles. I also use Rite Aid's Cracked Heel Softner with Emu oil but it's a bit greasy so I do save that for the feet covered with socks. |
I do the same as Karen. Sometimes, if the crack is bleeding or especially tender and pink I'll use a triple antibiotic cream, but not very often. I too find the Crabtree and Evelyn Gardener's Hand Therapy to be very good on my hands. I also like the Bag Balm and Burt's Bees hand salve but they do feel quite greasy to me so i use them sparingly. And regarding the Burt's Bees, they have a salve that contains comfrey that does an excellent job for me when I've been out working in the rose or berry patches and I've been scratched and punctured by thorns. After I shower up I rub the comfrey salve into my wounds and by morning I am pretty much healed. The salve is very soothing to my minor scrapes and cuts. Grimmy |
My hands get horrible during winter.Last year there was an elderly woman who overheard me complaining to my husband about my hands when I was paying for something and she swore by an avon lotion with aloe.She pulled some out of her pocket that she carried with her. A week or so ago they had a free shipping deal going online and a heap of hand creams on sale for 1.79 a piece so I bought of of each kind :) Cause I couldn't remember the name and they are good sized so I figured they will take me through winter and gardening season : So far the one with aloe is my favorite too :) But there is another one that is more of a thick salve type called intensive that is good and I will be using when ithe weather gets colder and in pulling weeds season next year :). Heidi |
I worked at a tree seedling nursery (for reforestation) and the girls -- the guys were wierded out at the thought, used a cream called 'Udderly Smooth' for cows udders. Same concept as bag balm I suppose. This stuff has peppermint in it too, which helped with the girls' stiff sore hands from repetitive work. (BTW tendonitis ran rampant there.) |
I get the feeling that people are confusing bag balm and udder balm. They are not the same thing. Bag balm is petroleum based (made from oil products) where Udder Balm is made from aloe, lanolin and a bunch of vitamins. Udder Balm was designed for the same purpose as bag balm, to protect cows udders, but in my opinion is much better for humans. Udder Balm is in fact registered as a human use product, where bag balm is for animals only. as for udderly smooth, it is a cheap watery knockoff of udder balm. It does not soak in as quickly or last as long. Udder Balm is definately the best way to go for my hands when they are dry and cracked. The best deals are usually at http://www.originaludderbalm.com/ |

I had a pottery teacher that said washing your hands in warm or hot water was a large part of the problem, said hot water chaps and cold water bothers arthritis, so take your choice. I use Jergens, the kind that is supposed to keep the hair from growing back so thick on your legs. lol. It doesn't work on the leg part but is nice on your hands. If my hands get really bad, and they do in the winter, I slather vaseline over my hands and put old socks over my hands before I go to sleep. In the morning my hands are so much smoother. susan |
For those dry cracked hands I first use a product called "Pretty Feet and Hands" which actually removes all the rough stuff. Then apply Curel. I swear by this pair! Never fails. |
i make lotion bars which are cheap and easy to make (if you can melt butter you can make them). you can actually see the water bead up on your skin and skin gets soft too. i use them on my dry cracked feet too. if i remember to use it they don't crack. recipe: 1 part beeswax; 1 part cocoa butter; 1 part coconut oil; melt and pour into mold (can be plastic bottle bottom or soap mold) let cool, pop out and use. lots of recipes on internet under lotion bars. sandy |
Does anyone know where I can get Delon Vitamin E dry skin cream that comes in a round white jar with gray lid, 16 oz? Thanks for your help! |
I'm a family physician with eczema and a latex allergy who also loves to garden. I'm lucky to have a sister who raises her own bees and makes lotion bars similar to those recommended by sandy_s. They do work well. The important hints for anyone dealing with dry skin: -Keep hands/skin protected with non-latex gloves whenever possible |

I use Bonny Doon Lavender Gardener's Salve and others I know have also raved about this salve. Lavender essential oil is very healing for skin and the fragrance is relaxing and good for muscle aches. I was recently at a craft fair and tried some emu oil and I was amazed at how the oil penetrated my skin but was not oily or greasy immediately after use. The folks who raise emu and were demonstrating the emu oil had me pick up a piece of paper to see if any oil residue was left on the paper immediately after I used the oil and it wasn't. They also raved about all the benefits of emu oil, its healing properties, and how it is one of the few oils that actually penetrates through to the deeper layers of skin. I am going to try some emu oil and lotion. |

The other thought I have had, reading through these posts, is that, for me, if I am not careful about keeping hydrated, my cuticles will crack, even to bleeding, and I get awful hangnails. If I am careful about drinking water, they go away quickly, and I just don't get them. The other thing I have found is that if I take essential fatty acids, or Omega 3 fats, as olive oil, flaxseed oil or evening primrose oil, my skin on my hands stays good. Hope this can help some of you. |
I have been making my own hand cream for decades. It's so easy to make. A quick fix is to get wheat germ oil and a pair of cotton gloves. Just apply the wheat germ oil over hands and put on cotton gloves overnight. If anyone wants my recipe, just email me. |
I don't think anyone mentioned Vitamin E oil.. Well - if you want the best results you've ever seen - put a few drops of Vitamin E oil into your hand and mix with your lotion of choice. I mix it with my night time facial moisturizer, and with a hand cream. Nothing repairs cuticles and moisturizes better. Sometimes I use almond oil or apricot kernel oils mixed with Vaseline Intensive care as a body lotion after bathing or swimming. They absorb very rapidly and do a better job of moisturizing than the cheaper store bought lotions - which are mostly petroleum based products that just create a film over your skin. I found a Whipped Vaseline product in a tube - comes out white like a thick lotion, but it protects chapped hands very well and sinks in, unlike regular Vaseline. |

new one: OLIVE OIL--it works great, honest! Also good for babies. But more for maintenance than rescue. as far as what people have said above: I have eczema, can't use mineral oil or other petroleum products, and have lots of allergies. |
I realize this is an old message, but since we are all out in the garden again and washing our hands constantly, I thought I'd share what I use. My skin is severely dry on my hands, face and feet mostly. I formulated a cream made of Shea Butter and Emu Oil that works great. It's all natural and has no preservatives, dyes or fragrance. It's called Emushea if anyone wants to give it a try just email me. I hope this doesnt sound like an ad....just know it's working for me and I use it daily. |

Please. Can we let this one die now? Lol! |
Natural Skin Care products are where it's at. People don't realize that all of these chemically laced products seep through the skin into the blood stream. It's good to see that people are becoming more aware of the importance of using natural products. Here's a useful link to a Monthly Natural Skin Care Give-Away: Dead Sea Cosmetics Sweepstakes |

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, available at health food stores, is magic stuff. I have very dry skin, and I use it for cooking AND on my skin. I grease a pan using my fingers, then slather what's left all over my arms and hands. I used to have heel cracks (mainly because I live in flip flops), but no more! I have little jars of it all over and it's easy to apply. The expeller pressed variety has no scent, but I love the taste of the extra virgin. It has many health cures as well. google the coconut oil diet, and you will see everything else it can do for you! I loved many of your suggestions. This is a good thread! Before I learned about Coconut Oil, I wanted to try udder balm, but someone told me it smells bad. Is that true? |
I know this is a really old thread, but for those of you who were using Dionne Udder Balm and can no longer find it, I think it is no longer being made. The Original Udder Balm and Fiebing's Udder Balm both supposedly have the same formula as Dionne. I recently bought some Fiebing's and if it's not identical, it's certainly very similar to Dionne. I think Fiebing's sells a medicated (menthol) version, but I don't think Original Udder does (yet). I don't mind the smell at all. I think it's a light citrus smell. I bought one container of the medicated and didn't like it. For those of you with eczema, lotions with 10% urea may be helpful. Two that I know are Uremol, which seems to be available only from Canadian sources, and Nutraplus, which I've found at drugstore.com. I've also bought crystallized urea and added it to the Dionne (now Fiebing's) udder balm. |
I love fragrant thick creams. My favorites are "Vanilla Bean Noel" body cream sold only during Christmas season at Bath and Body Works and "Satsuma" body butter from the Body Shop. Does anyone know if there is a topic about fragrance oils? I love "Fresh Cut Roses" from Save on Scents. I'm looking for a strong pumpkin spice scent. |

Background: Molecular analysis and molecular genetics is being gradually implemented in the diagnostic workout of soft tissue sarcomas and GIST. Data regarding reproducibility as well as variability of molecular testing are lacking. A study has been performed within the Conticanet European Network of Excellence in order to evaluate the degree of concordance of molecular testing across three european referral laboratories.
Design: All soft tissue and visceral sarcomas (804 cases) occurring in 3 european regions (Veneto Italy, Aquitaine and Rhone-Alpes, France) have been collected prospectively during 2007. All cases of GIST and all cases of sarcoma in which a translocation was suspected were analyzed by FISH and RT qPCR. 10 GIST and one to every 10 sarcomas have been circulated among the three partners 44 cases (25 GIST and 19 sarcomas with a suspicion of translocation) were molecularly analysed. In 43 additional cases the results of FISH versus RT qPCR were compared. In 21 cases molecular tests were s also performed and compared on both frozen and FFPE material.
Results: Among GIST, 96% concordance was observed (one exon 18 PDGFRA mutation not detected in one region). Among sarcomas (10 synovial sarcomas, 4 myxoid liposarcomas, 2 rhabdomyosarcomas, 2 clear cell sarcomas, and 1 desmoplastic tumour) 89% concordance was observed. Discordances were in 2 myxoid liposarcoma (DDIT3/FUS translocation detected in two regions not confirmed in one region). 43 cases were evaluated for translocations by both RT-qPCR and FISH: 15 synovial sarcomas, 12 myxoid liposarcoma, 9 low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, 4 Ewing's sarcoma/PNET and 3 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Only one discordance was observed (one negative RT-PCR/positive FISH myxoid liposarcoma) however, 2 cases were not interpretable by RT-PCR as compared to 7 cases by FISH. Non discrepancies were observed between frozen and FFPE specimens.
Conclusions: The level of concordance of molecular testing among the three referral centers is remarkably high. The discrepancy observed in myxoid liposarcoma may be due to higher technical complexity. RT-PCR appears more sensitive than FISH in detecting sarcoma translocations. Molecular analysis performs optimally in both frozen and FFPE material.

The nasty vermin in my neighborhood are compelled to dig up every square inch of soil. They especially go for the areas where some foolish human has been digging, watering, or otherwise tending to a little seedling! The attached photo is a collage of my anti-squirrel fortresses for various seedlings - penstemon and dahlia on top.. the last pic is "the one that got away", i.e. a cardinal flower that got torn up despite the milk jug shelter. The worst is now over, but you can imagine what a frustrating time I had back in May and June! |

Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, the worst is in the spring when the young squirrels tear up countless plants - and I lost a bunch. Some of which I had been growing in pots for over a year :( They're still eating the pods off my peony bush, I'm not sure if I'm going to have any seeds this year. They're also chewing the buds off the white swan coneflower. But the hardest battle is to come - the tomato games have just started: Home team 3, backyard plunderers 8. And that doesn't count the ones that just have teeth marks. We are working on a chicken wire fence around our garden before they eat or ruin the rest of them, but it's just a deterrent. Squirrels do not share. |
I'm glad to know that someone else feels my pain! Good luck with the tomatoes. I always grow a couple of cherry tomato plants because they are not as appealing to the squirrels as the luscious beefsteaks. |

The wretches dug up my three baby Witch Hazel. Nothing else in the entire bed was disturbed even though it was all planted at the same time. They of course have to pick the one plant that I am most excited about and most upset to lose. And they did the same thing last year. |
I saw a squirrel running up the tree by my deck the other morning (their favorite time to plunder my garden), I went out and turned on the hose and blasted him as he scurried up the tree - and he dropped a TOMATO!! But he doesn't feel unwelcomed yet, found 4 more half eaten tomatoes the next day. Fence isn't working. |
Darn them! Actually, I'm still in the lull between seedling destruction and tomato pillaging. The brandywines are big, but still fully green. Will have to attempt pantyhose-over-the-fruit or some other protective technique. DH tells me that we should hope the bird flu quickly evolves into a squirrel flu.. heh heh heh. Better them than us, right? |

EL: Spring Clean Your Computer
These simple organizing ideas can make accessing your files so much quicker and easier.
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12
Quick easy tips for keeping work computer workspace managable.
Q. It takes me forever to locate a computer file again once I've saved it. How do I organize my files so I can find the ones I need?
A.You can organize your computer files in much the same way you organize your paper files in folders or notebooks. In Windows 2000 or XP, open the "My Documents" icon on your desktop and right-click to create new folders. On a Mac, open the "Macintosh HD" icon, type "Apple-N" to create a folder specifically for your documents, and then "Apple-N" again to create new folders for all your existing files. Label these folders the same way you would title paper folders: thematically (Bats, Weather, Whales) or by type of file (Photos, Movies, Audio, PDFs.) Whenever you save a new document, just navigate to the appropriate folder on your hard drive and "file" it.
Q. My desktop is covered with folders. How can I neaten it?
A. Your desktop doesn't need to contain all your folders themselves, just shortcuts to a few key thematic or file-type folders. A shortcut appears as a tiny icon. To create in Windows 2000 or XP, right-click on a folder in "My Documents," then drag it to your desktop. On a Mac, a shortcut is an alias. To create, click on a folder, type "Apple-M," then drag the alias to your desktop. An added bonus? Shortcuts use far less memory compared to documents or entire folders, so keeping them on your desktop instead helps your computer run faster and more smoothly.
Q. My list of favorite Web sites grows longer every day. How can I make it easier for students to access sites I want them to visit?
AYou can create shortcuts to sites directly on your desktop! For each site, enter the URL into your browser. Then in Windows 2000 or XP, click on the icon that appears in the address bar, and drag it to the desktop. On a Mac, click on the entire URL and drag it to the desktop. Rename each shortcut with a shorter, more meaningful title than the URL, such as "PBS Bats" or "ZoomWhales." When students click on the shortcut you created, they will go right to the site. You can even move several shortcuts into a folder on the desktop or save them on disks for students to take home.
Q. When I do student reports or order books, I have to type the same school information over and over. How can I save time?
A. In Windows or on a Mac, open a Word document and type the text you'll reuse. Click the "Tools" menu, choose "AutoCorrect," click the "AutoText" tab, and click "Add." To add text to a document, click the "Insert" menu, choose "AutoText," scroll down to select the text you want, and click "Insert." Another option in Windows is the clipping feature; highlight the text you want and drag to your desktop. To insert the text, drag it from the desktop.

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew,
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "good-night,
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Follow-Up Postings:
Aw. That's beautiful, Chicka. Made me think of my Cly-Cly. *sniffle* Brenda |
Gee Chicka.... it's been almost a year and I still so miss my Sasha... way to make me cry... Next time I think of her I'm just going to stroke her head right in mid-air. *Thanks.* *sniffle.* : Mary |
Lordy Lordy, Chicka dee dee dee you brought a tear to my eyes too. Our little dog is 18 years old, losing her sight and quite deaf. But she keeps on going, with a little help from us, when she cannot make it up on the setee or the patio deck stairs, on her own steam. The though of not having her around is hard to deal with for sure. But it seems to be coming closer all the time. "Horton" |
Thanks CD3. From me and all the pets I have known and loved. Tissue please...Sarah |
Wow C3D: I had to reach for the Scotties too. Had a reading by a psychic in December and she asked me if I lost a big yellow dog recently, because he is still with me all the time. That would be my Kuvasz, Grieco. After reading your poem............wow! Thanks for sharing Jenny |

"The though of not having her around is hard to deal with for sure. Yep! IMO, knowing that the end is near was even harder to deal with than the rest. |

hi all,
I just purchased the kit; I noticed that when slewing, the handbox's screen dims, almost blinks, only with the RA motor though. I also have the feeling that it turns slower than the DEC motor at max speed. This only occurs at 256x,512x or max speeds, the faster the more obvious.
It's not an overload problem since it does the same when taken off the mount. It is less obvious when using my powertank than the included DC adapter.
Any thoughts? does yours behave the same way?
(sorry for my poor english)
ioptron GoToNova RA motor problem?

It sounds as if you have the spur gears meshed too tightly. Set them with a piece of printer paper as a spacer. Also, LUBRICATE THEM with a small dab of Super Lube or some similiar synthetic grease. Axle grease is not acceptible.
Posted 20 April 2009 - 12:08 PM
that's what i thought, but it does that even when the motor is NOT attached to the mount, freelt spinning
Posted 20 April 2009 - 12:22 PM
I'd be a bit worried about the motor then. Contact your vendor. See what they have to say.

And other things you may not have known about the guy who will be all over your ass should you so much as look at WB the wrong way (such as his name: Dan Clark).
* Clark got the gig protecting Buffett after meeting his daughter buying bagels.
[Seventeen years ago] Dan Clark was a young Weed and Seed officer patrolling Omaha's north side. He happened to lunch in the same spot as Buffett's daughter, Susie, who was bothered by breaking news that Wisconsin bank robbers had plotted to kidnap her father. Susie Buffett asked the uniformed Clark why police wouldn't have informed her family earlier. Clark recalled telling her that he was not privy to details, but that the Buffetts should have been contacted. Before he left, Clark offered his private security services — and shortly afterward, he was hired to protect the famed CEO of Omaha's Berkshire Hathaway.
* He's "a buff martial arts practitioner"
* The early days on the job were rough.
"The first year it was me, with a protein bar in my pocket, with Mr. Buffett," Clark recalled. "I didn't take a meal break, and I didn't sit down. By the end of the weekend, I was dog-tired."
* He's a great defensive driver
Another time Clark swerved to avoid a car running a red light. "It was one of those reaffirming moments," he said, "that you can never let your guard down."
* His biggest threat? The animals in the press.
"The reality is I have protected him more from the press and crowds than from assaults." He recalled a backpedaling photojournalist who, in his persistence to get a good shot, rammed into and broke off the side mirror of the CEO's car. "Mr. Buffett just shook his head."
* He'll do anything for a job.
In 2008, Clark was named Crime Stoppers Officer of the Year for his role in taking apart two large narcotics operations. Road Trip II had him in deep disguise, gaining the trust of drug lords. He once engaged in a semi-friendly coin toss to settle a negotiation over the price of an assault weapon. (Clark won the flip, reducing the cost by $100.) Clark had so changed his appearance for that bust — his red, short-cropped hair was dyed dark, and he had a beard and extra weight — that his own daughter backed away when he showed up to drive her home from dance class.
* He made $349,946 last year, versus Buffett's $100,000
* He can't get over Buffett's reflexes (like a cat) and speed (of a mongoose)
This week's Berkshire meeting, however, presents Clark with his largest annual task. His associates are busy climbing through ductwork, examining catwalks, sweeping meeting rooms. Security guards will be dispatched throughout the city. Clark also coordinates with area law enforcement agencies. The pre-planning phase grows each year with the crowd. But one thing hasn't changed, Clark said. Buffett, now 80, still walks quickly, "can change directions on a dime" and keeps Clark's guys hopping.
He Follows Buffett's Every Move [Omaha via Dealbook]

"This one time Boss-man asked me to transport a bag of some sort to some CNBC station out in New Jersey for some woman, Becky or something. It was all wrapped but the card on top said 'Unlike Favre's text messages, here's something that you really want.' It came from 'Lifesize Casting and Plaster Services, Lincoln, NE' He told me not to discussed so I did not told anybody."
What a dreamboat!
Like a bahws
"Weed and Seed"? Sounds like my hippie days.
Security "code name" for Buffett: "Ak-Sar-Ben". Munger is : "Runza". The "Pink Pussycat Club" across the Missouri in Council Bluffs is "Black Ice".
Dis pussy is no friend of mine.

Guys like Dan Clark should be paying more taxes.
I hear that Dan Clark's blood type is AK-47
Chuck Norris must be pissed that he wasn't offered this gig!!
Hey Dan, is that a protein bar in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
He speaks better than his dad, Dick.
Too soon?
Too Omaha centric for the East Coast crowd.
Guy who spent way too much time and money in Council Bluffs in the 90's.

OBEY: Supply & Demand - The Art of Shepard Fairey - 20th Anniversary Edition (Deluxe Hardcover Edition)

446 pages
Published by Gingko Press
20th anniversary ed edition (January 20, 2009)
ISBN-13: 978-1584233497
12.4 x 9.4 x 1.4 inches
Full colour

From Obey to Obama and all that s in between, Supply & Demand, The Art of Shepard Fairey - 20th Anniversary Edition expands upon the previous version of this book and adds 100 new pages of illustrations and text to showcase Fairey s entire body of work, a massive retrospective covering 20 colorful years.

Recently thrust into the spotlight for his image of President-elect Barack Obama, Fairey helped catalyze a movement from his unique vantage at the intersection of art, popular culture and politics. The book includes versions of the image as well as a copy of correspondence from the soon-to-be President himself thanking Mr. Fairey for his support.

Through the lens of esteemed writers and critics such as Carlo McCormick, Steven Heller, Henry Rollins, Rob Walker, Roger Gastman and more, readers can learn about Shepard Fairey, the roots of the omnipresent OBEY street art campaign, his design practice and prolific gallery exhibitions.

This massive book pulls no punches and all areas of the enigmatic artist's work, travels and travails are illuminated. From exhibitions, posters, flyers, silkscreens and stickers to high altitude pursuits, citations and police beatings, it's all documented in a museum quality layout and binding. The evidence is in, and it's clear that Shepard Fairey is not one to rest on his laurels, the work must go on.

For both long time fans wanting the complete collection and those just curious to know what this OBEY business is all about, Supply and Demand is the answer.

Name: Shakira
Isabel Mebarak Ripolli Nickname: Shaki Birthdate: February 2, 1977 Birthplace: Barranquilla, Colombia Height: 5'2" |
engagement to Antonio de la Rua, son of the present President of
Argentina. [March 2001] Shakira is Arabic for "grateful" or "full of grace." Is of Colombian and Lebanese heritage Named her album "Laundry Service" because when she is in love she feels "clean and fresh" Fluent in Portuguese, Italian, and English, in addition to Spanish and Arabic Her Lebanese grandmother taught her the art of Arabian Belly Dancing so she can stay true to her middle eastern roots Has perfect pitch (the ability to recognize any note upon hearing it or sing any note without prior to hearing it) Her manager for Latin America, Patricia Tellez, the woman who helped her go from being local artist to Grammy-winning global artist, died of a heart attack in Bogota on 17 August 2004. Father's name is William Mebarak Chadid and mother's name is Nidia del Carmen Ripolli Torrado. Her mother is half Colombian and half Italian and her father is American with Lebanese ancestry. She has 5 half brothers Alberto, Edward, Moises, Tonino and Robin and 3 half sisters Ana, Lucy and Patricia. Steven Spielberg offered her the role of Elena Montero in The Mask of Zorro (1998) back when he was originally in talks to direct it. But, she turned the offer down because she felt that not only was she a bad actress, but her English wasn't good enough. Her oldest half-sister Lucy is a surgeon, Alberto, her half-brother, is a lawyer, Moises is the third child, Tonino is the fourth child and the closest to Shakira, having worked many years as her road manager. Then is Patricia who lives in Spain, she is a special education teacher, and finally there is Antonio and Edward, the youngest who lives in Miami. The first English song she wrote was Objection, from the album Laundry Service. Lost her suitcase with all her songs from Donde Estan Los Ladrones in an airport in Bogota Colombia. This happened a couple of months before she walked into the recording studio to begin on that album. Mattel put out several Barbie dolls inspired by Shakira and her look. Her album 'Fijacion Oral Vol.1' is #1 on the Billboard Latin Albums Chart in September 2005. |

The Good: location very close to the metro(which you will be needing because you do not want to spend to much time in this hostel) manager lady was kind.The Bad: No air conditioning, rooms are musty, house is old, bugs, bathrooms are nasty. The overall atmosphere with the other roommates were poor because everyone was in disbelief of the rugged place they were staying in. Even my traveling companion was starting to get depressed. Please please, it may have a good price, but STAY AWAY!

Biogen Idec Foundation Donates $100,000 to Launch STEM Education Collaboration with Teach for America
The Biogen Idec Foundation and Teach For America today announced a new collaboration in support of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education. A $100,000 grant from The Biogen Idec Foundation will be split evenly between Teach For America's Massachusetts and Eastern North Carolina regions. The lead corporate STEM sponsor in both regions, Biogen Idec will make its Community Lab facilities available to Teach For America teachers and their students, and its scientists will share their expertise with the teachers in professional development sessions held during the school year.
The collaboration officially launches today, with a visit by 20 of Teach For America's first-year science teachers to Biogen Idec's Community Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts. High school students participating in a summer program at the lab will talk to the new teachers about how to get students excited about math and science curriculum; the teachers will give the students feedback on their science projects. The science teachers participating in today's event will begin teaching in local public schools this fall.
The Biogen Idec Community Lab is a state-of-the-art facility where students can experience firsthand the wonder of science. In line with a company-wide commitment to science education, the mission of the Community Lab is to excite and inspire students to make the discoveries of tomorrow. More than 23,000 middle and high school students have visited the Biogen Idec Community Labs since 2002. This fall, the Cambridge-based Community Lab will celebrate 10 years of working with Massachusetts students.
"We're thrilled to launch Teach For America-Massachusetts' first-ever corporate STEM collaboration with The Biogen Idec Foundation," said Josh Biber, executive director of Teach For America in Massachusetts. "The Foundation's generous support and Biogen Idec's scientific expertise will help our teachers to foster the next generation of scientists and innovators."
"Advancing science education and inspiring students to pursue careers in science is core to the mission of The Biogen Idec Foundation," said Jo Viney, board member of The Biogen Idec Foundation. "We're proud to work with Teach for America on this innovative STEM collaboration, and we're excited at the tremendous potential it holds to reach thousands of students in Massachusetts and North Carolina."
Teach For America recruits, trains and supports top recent college graduates and professionals who commit to teach for two years in underserved public schools and become lifelong leaders in the movement for educational equity. This year, approximately 3,200 corps members nationwide will be teaching STEM subjects, including approximately 80 in Massachusetts and nearly 70 in Eastern North Carolina. Teach For America is among the largest providers of STEM teachers nationwide.

David Chevalier-Morgan says he wouldn't be alive today without health insurance.
"As I got sicker, I ended up in a coma for six months. I didn't know how I was going to pay for any of this," said Chevalier-Morgan, who was homeless just last year.
After he lost his job as a tow-truck driver, he and his wife and two children lived in the brush behind a liquor store in Oceano. It was there that a spider bit Chevalier-Morgan, who then went to the emergency room. There, doctors also diagnosed him with type 2 diabetes.
"I didn't know how I was going to pay for any of this," said Chevalier-Morgan, whose hospital bill was close to $400,000.
Healthcare advocates stepped in and signed him up for insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Because Chevalier-Morgan had no income, he qualified for Medi-Cal, free health insurance for people with low or no-income.
A case manager with Community Health Centers says the an individual who makes less than $15,860 per year, a family of two under $21,400, family of three with less than $26,950, and up from there, qualifies for Medi-Cal.
Those who make slightly more still qualify for subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.
"It's actually really affordable," Community Health Center's Joseph Gossner said. "The lowest cost I've seen was actually $6 per month. The average is right around $20 to $35 a month. Then again, I've also seen it as high as $400 a month for somebody who doesn't have children, is single and is making a substantial amount of income."
According to Covered California, 850,000 additional Californians are now eligible for Medi-Cal in 2014.
"We've seen a huge influx of Medi-Cal patients because they now qualify," Gossner said.
Chevalier-Morgan calls the program a "lifesaver." His wife is working now, and he and his family are living in a motel until they can find permanent housing.
"It's been a long haul," Chevalier-Morgan said. "This healthcare issue... I would not be here right now if it was not available to me."

Precisely. In this presentation, Dish also stated that the chipset required to do this is essentially a miniature silicon computer, which, even if the cost could be reduced to only $10, would still cost E* billions to swap out 25 million receivers.
$10 x 25 million receivers = "billions" ????

Again, higher in calories but more likely to keep hunger at bay for longer. Of course, if you already have a healthy snack and are just craving those M&Ms, settle for a fantasy. A 2010 study found that people who imagined eating decadent foods, like an entire bag of M&Ms, actually ended up having fewer cravings for those indulgent snacks.

Edson Buddle has only been with the Rapids a few weeks. But as a MLS and U.S. national team veteran, he's known some of his new teammates for some time, including Marvell Wynne. That has made the transition to the Rapids that much easier, as evidenced by the fact that Marvell trusted Edson to give him a new haircut.
On the right is what Marvell looked like at the start of preseason camp. On the left, a few weeks in when he saved his head before the group went to Vegas.
Apparently, he wasn't done with his new look. Here's the image Edson tweeted on Thursday:

Obviously, Colorado is no stranger to snow, although it's been a bit sparce in the Denver metro area the past couple years. On Feb. 20-21, 2013 Commerce City received it's first decent snowfall since last October. So when I got to the stadium on Thursday I couldn't pass up the chance to take new photos of the new adidas Prime match ball on the field at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
The countdown for some started before last season ended. For others, it began after MLS Cup, the day of the SuperDraft, or when the schedule was announced.
We're now less than four weeks away from the opening match at FC Dallas on March 2. And, we're even closer to the 2013 home opener against Philadelphia on March 9.
When did you start looking forward to the 2013 season?
Get excited. It's coming up.
The past few days have been a little unnverving for Rapids midfielder Martin Rivero. The 23-year Argentinian suffered a broken bone in his right foot just before the end of the first half of the first preseason game on Tuesday. It was the first broken bone that he's suffered as a professional, and the ensuing surgery was also a first for the second-year playmaker.
But one thing that has kept him positive is the connection he's built with fans through his twitter handle. Rivero has chronicled and given fans - in Spanish and English - a unique behind the scenes perspective of his week, starting prior to the match, as he returned to Denver, on the surgery table, and afterwards. See below:

Well, Colorado fans, if you didn't realize it then, you know now that when you attended the U.S. Women's National Team match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in September, you were in the presence of greatness.
On Monday, FIFA announced that former USWNT coach Pia Sundhage was named the FIFA Women's Coach of the Year, and USWNT forward Abby Wambach became the first U.S. women since 2002 to be named Best Female Soccer player in the world (pictured above celebrating her goal at DSGP in a 6-2 win over Australia). That capped off a tremondous year for the U.S. ladies, who had won the 2012 Olympic gold medal.
Fans of the women's 2012 know already knew that Pia was known to break out in song, as she did before her last game as coach on that night in Colorado. So it was fitting that she thanked her staff, and sang one last time to her players when she accepted the award:
A few months ago we told you about Rapids Academy midfielder Bryan Windsor's trip to Barcelona, where he got to train at Barcelona's La Masia facility and receive first-hand instructions from the same youth coaching system that developed the world-player of the year, Lionel Messi, among others.
On Sunday, CBS's famed-program, 60 Minutes, profiled the story of Barcelona FC, giving arguably the best club soccer team in the world - in this era - a huge platform to be seen by millions of people in the United States. There's a lot of good stuff here, give yourself 15 minutes and watch it:
Anyone that googled the name "Diego Calderon" over the past few weeks likely saw the rumors that he was coming to Colorado. On Thursday the paper work was finalized and the Rapids made his signing official.
By winning South America's Copa Libertadores (equivelant to the UEFA Champions League) with Liga, he also got to play in the FIFA Club World Cup, where his side lost in the final to Manchester United. I don't know how many Rapids fans follow the Ecuadorian league, but I think some may recognize the names on Man U's team from that game. (FIFA.COM)
Below are a few videos of Calderon that I found online. The first shows a diving header for a goal that he scored last year for Liga (Pid Army, BSG, Class VI will be impressed by crowd). Next is a sit-down interview with a sports outlet - in Spanish - where he discussed the lessons he's learned, especially from an error he committed in the Copa Suruga Bank final (which features the Copa Libertadores winner and Japan's J-League winner). And the last is the longest, a 13 minute 'highlight' reel of his defensive plays.
It's nearly impossible to tune out the Denver Broncos buzz, especially when "PFM," as Broncos fans and covering media have appointed Peyton Manning, is leading the team to the playoffs. And I suspect many Colorado Rapids fans are also Broncos fans, or least enjoy the local sports teams' successes, and are also optimistic for the Broncos' playoff hopes.
But for many Rapids fans, "PFM" was already in town quite a few years before the future hall-of-fame quarterback came to the Rocky Mountains. That's our own Pablo 'Freaking' Mastroeni.
As I thought more about the two local pros and their impact on their respective teams, I came across a few more similarities than the PFM acronyms, their 36-years of age (Peyton is five months older than Pablo), or that both of their team's missed the playoffs in the same year the respective superstar was forced to sit out with head / neck injuries.
Here are some I came across...post in the comments if you think of others.
Mastroeni began his professional career in 1998.
Manning began his professional career in 1998.
Mastroeni has one League championship - the 2010 MLS Cup.
Manning has one League championsip - the 2007 NFL Superbowl
Mastroeni was the first overall pick in the 2001 MLS Allocation Draft
Manning was the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft.
Mastroeni was named an MLS All-Star in 9 consecutive years
Manning was named an NFL Pro Bowler (all-star) in 9 consecutive years
Mastroeni's last Final appearance was in 2010 (Nov)
Manning's last Final appearance was in 2010 (Feb)
Mastroeni was the 2012 Team Humanitarian of the Year, nominated for MLS award
Manning won the 2005 NFL Humanitarian Award
Mastroeni has played in at least 14 games for his team in 14 different seasons
Manning will play at least his 14th game for his team in his 14th different seasons (Dec. 16, 2012)
Mastroeni has 65 international caps and played in two FIFA World Cups
Manning has won four NFL MVP honors
Mastroeni missed nearly all of 2012 with concussion symptoms before announcing he's coming back for Major League Soccer's 18th season in 2013...
Manning, who brought back the retired #18, missed all of 2011 with a neck injury before returning this year to lead the Broncos back to the NFL playoffs...(and TBD)
Next month, Broncos fans will be pulling for Peyton to advance past the first round of the playoffs for the 5th time in his career. When Pablo advance past the first round for his fifth time, in 2010, he advanced all the way to the Cup...
The debate of who is the best soccer player of all-time usually brings quite a few opinions. But for me, it's easy. It's Lionel Messi.
See, I never had a chance to watch Pele, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Franz Beckhenbaur, or Johan Cryuf play - at least not live or at an age where I could remember how good they were. Of course I've seen video highlights, and, like others, can't help but be impressed.
With today's technology we can watch pretty much watch every game in the world, club and international. I did watch Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, Zinadine Zidane, and other stars the more modern era play, and until recently, Diego was the best I'd seen. I've also been lucky to watch Messi and Christian Ronaldo play in person. And while Cristiano is awesome, given one choice, I take Leo.
Last Sunday Messi scored his 86th goal of the calendar year to pass Gerd Mueller's 40-year-old record for most in a calendar year. Mueller scored 85 for Bayern Munich and West Germany. Leo scored 74 in 57 games for Barca (still has three games left in 2012) and 12 in 9 games for Argentina. Here are some more Messi stats and all 86 goals from 2012:
It might not be quite fair to appoint 2012 as the "Year of the Soccer Bar" in Denver, but it's definitely a year in which these establishments have stood out. And now there's word of another bar about to open.
In the downtown Denver area, soccer fans have been regulars at The British Bulldog, The Three Lions, and the Celtic Tavern, and other locations like Fado or GB's have also welcomed fans of the beautiful game.
The latest soccer bar, The Armoury (Arsenal fans will like the background of the name), is shooting to open in the ballpark neightborhood on New Years Eve at 2048 Larimer Street. There's also already talk that they, too, hope to one day bus fans to Rapids games at Dick's Sporting Goods Park as the other pubs did this past year.
Here's the link to story on the new place, from The Westword.

Jewish Leaders Slam Anti-Obama Emails
January 24, 2008 by TMO
Hilary Leila Krieger and Haviv Rettig, The Jerusalem Post
(Click here to see the open letter)
Jewish leaders are condemning e-mails attacking Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama for secretly being a radical Muslim who attended a Wahhabi madrassa, false allegations that have been circulated on many Jewish and other list-serves.
Referring to "hateful e-mails that use falsehood and innuendo to mischaracterize Senator Barack Obama's religious beliefs and who he is as a person," officials from nine national Jewish organizations sent an open letter to the Jewish community Tuesday "reject[ing] these efforts to manipulate members of our community into supporting or opposing candidates."
The non-partisan, multi-denominational coalition of leaders noted that they were not endorsing any candidate, but felt that "attempts of this sort to mislead and inflame voters should not be part of our political discourse and should be rebuffed by all who believe in our democracy."
Obama, whose middle name is Hussein and who spent some of his childhood in Islamic Indonesia, has faced a whispering campaign about his background since before he even announced his candidacy for president.
But the volume and vitriol of the attacks have intensified following his victory in the Iowa caucuses earlier this month, which has propelled him in the polls.
Several Jewish organizational leaders noticed an increase in the number of e-mails they were receiving post-Iowa and in the run-up to February 5, when 22 states will be voting in the Democratic primary. They include some of the nation's largest by population and by Jewish community (New York, California, Illinois) and could well determine who becomes the presidential nominee for both parties.
"Jews have suffered smear campaigns in the past and we should be sensitive and responsive to these kinds of attacks," said Nathan Diament, director of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. Diament was joined by Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, and several heads of nonsectarian organizations in signing the letter.
Obama himself refuted the Internet accusations, as well as the suggestion that he took the oath of office with a Koran, during a Democratic candidates' debate in held Tuesday night in Nevada, which will on Saturday host the next Democratic primary.
In response to a question for an MSNBC moderator alluding to the e-mails in circulation, Obama said, "Let's make clear what the facts are: I am a Christian. I have been sworn in with a Bible." His campaign has also posted a fact sheet stating that, "Barack Obama is not and has never been a Muslim. Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ." It also explains that Obama's father, a Kenyan immigrant whom his mother divorced when he was two, was raised as Muslim but was "a confirmed atheist" by the time he came to America, and that his stepfather practiced a "brand of Islam" that also accommodated beliefs such as animism and Hinduism.
While he occasionally visited an Islamic center as a child in Indonesia, the suggestion that he was educated at a Wahhabist madrassa has been utterly discredited.
Though the Internet chatter about Obama's Muslim ties might be false, that doesn't mean it couldn't hurt him in a campaign.
"We could be in for a really ugly campaign from the far right," said someone in the Jewish community involved in the drafting of the letter, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "I fear it's going to be a problem for him in the future. It's no reason for anybody not to vote for him now or in the future, but everyone's got vulnerabilities." He said that the Obama campaign asked for the letter to be drafted, an assertion confirmed by other Jewish leaders but not immediately by the campaign itself.
"They're clearly nervous and deservedly so," he said of the request. "This e-mail chain has made it around a million times." The fallout isn't necessarily limited to Obama's campaign. Some in the Muslim community have been distressed by the way in which the discussion of Obama's background has been handled.
Safiya Ghori, the government relations director for the Muslim Public Affairs Council, said the debate has been framed as refuting "allegations that Barack Obama is a Muslim," continuing, "It's as if that's a stain, and nobody wants that stain."
Diament said the salient issue for the letter was not a question about Obama's religion, but that he was incorrectly being tied to "jihadists" who want to attack America.
Tensions over identity politics have already been running high this past week as the Clinton and Obama camps have sparred over race and the respect accorded to civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.
Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen added to the mix when he criticized Obama's unwillingness to speak out against a magazine linked to Obama's church which had praised the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
On Tuesday, Obama said in a statement, "I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan. The magazine, Trumpet Magazine, is published and edited by the daughters of its founder, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, to which Obama belongs.
The magazine, which advocates an "African diaspora" identity, gave Farrakhan the 2007 "Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award." In the statement from the Obama campaign, the senator said, "I assume that Trumpet Magazine made its own decision to honor Farrakhan based on his efforts to rehabilitate ex-offenders, but it is not a decision with which I agree."
Cohen, whose op-ed appeared Tuesday morning, noted, "it's important to state right off that nothing in Obama's record suggests he harbors anti-Semitic views or agrees with Wright when it comes to Farrakhan." Nevertheless, Cohen called on the senator to publicly state his position.
Obama's statement was greeted with praise from the ADL, which "welcomed Barack Obama's statement strongly condemning the anti-Semitism of Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan." As the ADL noted, "for nearly 30 years as the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan has repeatedly made hateful statements targeting Jews, whites and homosexuals. Farrakhan's bigoted and anti-Semitic rhetoric has included statements calling whites "blue eyed devils" and Jews "bloodsuckers" who controlled the slave trade, the government, the media and various black individuals and organizations."
Obama has previously noted his differences with Wright, particularly his views on Israel.
The letter from the Jewish leaders was signed by Diament and Saperstein as well as by top officials from the United Jewish Communities, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Congress, the American Jewish Committee, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the National Council of Jewish Women and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte (22) is stopped by Tennessee Titans defenders Jordan Babineaux (26) and Colin McCarthy (52) in the first quarter of an NFL football game on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012, in Nashville, Tenn. (AP Photo/Joe Howell)
Updated: December 6, 2012 11:48AM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Instead of getting more touches Sunday, Matt Forte got fewer against the Tennessee Titans. He just did more with them.
With only 12 carries and two receptions, Forte showed off his versatility and efficiency in the Bears' 51-20 rout of the Titans. He had a combined 148 yards on the 14 touches, rushing for 103 yards and a touchdown and adding 45 yards receiving.
But the numbers don't tell the whole story. Forte ran left for 15 yards. He ran right for 46. He ran up the middle for a tough-as-nails eight-yard touchdown, driving Titans defenders into the end zone for the final three yards. On a well-executed draw play, he gained 22 yards on third-and-21 for a first down. And he gained 47 yards on an equally well-executed screen pass.
"We took a big step in the right direction," Forte said. "It started off a little slow. The defense and special teams got us going with turnovers and the touchdown. We did a great job."
Forte said he got some help from his teammates on the touchdown run, when he bulled his way in after meeting resistance inside the 5.
"That was help from the offensive line," Forte said. "They made a great block. The hole was right there. I think I got to the 2-yard line and started getting hit, and the line came and knocked me into the end zone. I didn't do it on my own."
Forte also credited his teammates (Lance Louis and Kellen Davis) for making key blocks on the 47-yard screen pass.
"Lance made a great block, and then I got a couple of guys blocking downfield and made the safety miss," Forte said.
Soldier Field South: Bears fans seemed to outnumber Titans fans at LP Field and owned the stadium as the rout ensued.
"Coach (Lovie) Smith said this is Soldier Field South today," cornerback Kelvin Hayden said. "We just wanted to make it worth their while."
"Today was like a home game," defensive end Israel Idonije said. "The fans [were] chanting, 'Go, Bears.' We have the greatest fans in all of professional sports. The support. The way they travel. The ability to take over a game and drown out the home-field advantage. That's hard to find. The dedication of our fans is unparalleled."
Idonije 'sore' but OK: Idonije (left leg) and defensive tackle Henry Melton (back) left the game after suffering injuries in the first half. But each said his injury isn't serious, and both expect to play Sunday against the Houston Texans.
Idonije's injury appeared to be serious at first.
"I got rolled up, but I'm OK," Idonije said. "I'm sore now, but it'll be all right. I'm fortunate that I can play through pain."
Hester breakthrough: Devin Hester nearly gave the Bears' special teams a second touchdown in the first quarter when he returned a punt 44 yards to the Titans' 8-yard line. Forte scored on the next play to give the Bears a 14-2 lead.
It was Hester's longest punt return of the season. His previous best was 23 yards.
Rare catch: When Louis retrieved a deflected pass inside the Titans' 10-yard line in the third quarter, he was thinking what everyone on the Bears thinks when he gets the ball.
"I was definitely thinking end zone, but things didn't work out," Louis said.
Louis was tackled at the 4 for a four-yard gain that led to a 22-yard field goal by Robbie Gould that gave the Bears a 37-12 lead.
"I just wanted to get the ball and make sure none of their guys intercepted it," Louis said. "It was definitely exciting. It brought back memories of the tight end days in college."

On Spoon
Spoon is a weird band. Despite being around for so many years and also the fact that Spoon happens to be a good indie rock band, (perhaps the epitome), asking anyone what they think about Spoon yields one of two responses: Spoon is uneven or Spoon sucks. Fo… Read the rest
