ABSTRACT: Monoclonal gammopathy may manifest itself through a range of skin disorders, including plane normolipemic xanthoma and necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. The present paper describes two patients with these cutaneous symptoms. The first has extensive areas of skin affected by flat xanthomas, monoclonal gammopathy with > 10% infiltration of bone marrow with clonal plasmocytes and, according to PET-CT, unclear lymphadenopathy in the retroperitoneal area. The size of this lymphadenopathy (histologically no malignant infiltration and no confirmed infectious aetiology) has not changed significantly over a 4-year follow-up. Repeated PET-CT scans showed decrease in SUV value in this infiltration from 7.5 to 3.8. Four cycles of treatment with a combination of bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone brought neither reduction in monoclonal immunoglobulin nor change to skin morphology. We believe that the abdominal lymphadenopathy is associated with xanthomatosis but have been unable to confirm this unequivocally. The second patient is being followed up for more than 10 years, originally for MGUS, later for asymptomatic multiple myeloma. Last year, painful subcutaneous and cutaneous infiltrates, isolated on an upper limb and more frequent on lower limb, started to occur. These infiltrates are palpable. PET-CT imaging provided an excellent depiction of these infiltrates, showing no pathology on the head, chest and abdomen and no osteolytic foci on the skeleton. CT imaging showed clearly numerous infiltrates in the skin and subcutaneous tissue of lower limbs, particularly both shanks, reaching up to 2 cm in depth. The largest infiltrate, measuring 3.5 by 2 by 10 cm, was identified in the distal dorsal part of the right shank. PET imaging of lower limbs showed distinctly pathological accumulation in all infiltrates described above; the accumulation of glucose in the lower part of the right shank reached 10.0 SUV. CT images of lower limbs showed increased density saturated hypodermis even in the areas where there is no increased accumulation of 18 fluoroglucose. Following 40 Gy irradiation, the size of infiltrate in the radiated area decreased and their soreness ceased. Conclusion: PET-CT imaging offered information on extra-cutaneous signs of plane normolipemic xanthomas and provided excellent depiction of the areas of the skin and hypodermis affected by necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. Chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone brought no reduction in monoclonal immunoglobulin concentration, and no reduction in plane normolipemic xanthomas. Radiotherapy targeted at large foci of xanthogranulomas led to partial regression and ceased infiltrate soreness.Vnitr̆ní lékar̆ství 11/2010; 56(11):1158-68. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our paper describes 5 patients with a vascular malformation - angiomatosis. In the first patient, a young man, angiomatosis affected the stomach, intestine, the area of mesenterium and retroperitoneum as well as mediastinum. Angiomatous mass had invaded pelvic bones and vertebrae. Treatment was initiated with interferon alpha in a maximum tolerated dose of 3 million units 3 times a week. Because of low efficacy of interferon alpha, thalidomide was added at a dose of 100 mg per day. Bone pain disappeared following a few applications of zoledronate administered in regular monthly intervals. After 3 years of concomitant administration of interferon alpha and thalidomide, we changed the regimen due to adverse effects and are administering thalidomide and interferon alternatively in 4-monthly intervals. Treatment has resulted in 50% reduction, according to imaging, of angiomatous mass, reduced intensity of disseminated intravascular coagulation and disappearance of clinical signs. The second was a case of multiple angiomatosis affecting the intestine only (multiple intestinal angiodysplasias) where we used thalidomide monotherapy. This treatment reduced blood losses and haemoglobin concentrations rose to normal levels. This male patient had consumed 120 transfusion units per year before the initiation of thalidomide. The third case was a slowly progressing vascular malformation of the face. This vascular malformation troubled its sufferer by spontaneous shortening that could not be resolved surgically because of its fragility. Two years of combined treatment with interferon a 6 million unites 3 times a week and thalidomide 100 mg daily led to a reduction and flattening of the malformation, paling of its colour and ceasing of spontaneous bleeding. This development enabled minor surgery--partial excision of this large vascular malformation. Histology examination confirmed that there was no evidence of new capillary formation. Histological examination thus confirmed efficacy of the treatment. The fourth case involved a patient with large vascular malformations affecting supraclavicular region of the neck and nape in whom radiotherapy was applied (54 Gy) leading to a reduction of the malformation mass by a at least 50%. The fifth is a case of an extensive periorbital lymphangioma that diminished following treatment with interferon alpha. These cases illustrate the benefits of combined treatment including thalidomide and interferon alpha in patients with multiple angiomatosis or large proliferating hemangioma (vascular malformation). If combined treatment with thalidomide and interferon a is not possible, it is beneficial to use thalidomide monotherapy. Radiotherapy is another alternative, although it is necessary to apply doses exceeding 50 Gy which may not be always possible.Vnitr̆ní lékar̆ství 08/2010; 56(8):810-23. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Monoclonal gammopathy-associated IgA pemphigus is a debilitating skin disorder with inconsistent response to treatment. A 61-year-old woman with IgA pemphigus and monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance had been treated unsuccessfully with cyclophosphamide/dexamethasone and then with rituximab. When the monoclonal gammopathy progressed to multiple myeloma, the patient received treatment with cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/dexamethasone but there was no clinical response. Second-line therapy with a thalidomide/cyclophosphamide/dexamethasone combination led to severe exacerbation of the skin disorder. However, therapy with a combination regimen that included bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone resulted in complete and durable remission of multiple myeloma and IgA pemphigus. This suggests that bortezomib-based therapy is useful for the treatment of the rare dermatologic disorder associated with IgA gammopathy.Wiener klinische Wochenschrift 05/2010; 122(9-10):311-4. · 0.79 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: IgA pemphigus, resembling subcorneal pustulous dermatosis, represents a rare complication of IgA type monoclonal gammopathy. The patient dates the onset of initial symptoms of vesicular-bullous disease to 1990. She was first examined at our clinic in 2001 with the following conclusion "type IgA monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance". The first immunosuppressive treatment of vesicular-bullous disorder was administered in 2003 (dexamethasone 20 mg on days 1-4 and 15-18 in monthly cycles + daily cyclophosphamide 50 mg). Cyclophosphamide was administered for 6 months in total and dexamethasone for further 3 months. During the treatment, intensity of the skin disorder ameliorated and monoclonal IgA levels decreased to non-detectable levels. Nevertheless, skin symptoms recurred immediately after dexamethasone treatment in its original intensity was terminated, even though the concentration of monoclonal immunoglobulin IgA remained below the sensitivity of quantitative detection for further 6 months (positive immunofixation only). Six rituximab 600 mg infusions were administered in a weekly interval after stopping cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone to prevent early recurrence of skin symptoms but this treatment was without any lasting effect. Transformation into multiple myeloma was identified in 2007. First line treatment (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin and dexamethasone - CAD) remained without any haematological or dermatological treatment response. Second line treatment (thalidomide, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone - CTD) brought about significant deterioration of skin symptoms up to the clinical picture of erythrodermia. Third line treatment (bortezomib 1.3 mg/sqm i.v. on days 1,4, 8 and 15, cyclophosphamide 50 mg daily and dexamethasone 20 mg on days 1-4 and 15-18 in 28-day cycles - VCD) resulted in rapid decline in monoclonal immunoglobulin IgA concentrations immediately following the first cycle and to negative immunofixation after 5 cycles. In total, six VCD cycles were administered. The patient has had no skin symptoms from the third cycle of this treatment and complete skin and haematological remission has been maintained for 12 months after completion of bortezomib-containing treatment. Combined treatment containing bortezomib has proven useful in the treatment of IgA pemphigus accompanying monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance transformed into multiple myeloma.Vnitr̆ní lékar̆ství 10/2009; 55(10):981-90. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JGCT) is an uncommon tumor of the kidney, typically found in young adults. Patients with this tumor suffer from hypertension, hyperaldosteronism and hypokalaemia. Expression of renin and intracytoplasmatic rhomboid crystals or granules in electron microscopic picture are diagnostic features of this tumor. CD34 and CD117 immunoreactivity have recently been reported as helpful markers of JGCT.Ceskoslovenska patologie 08/2008; 44(3):81-3. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: Cutaneous lymphomas represent a unique group of lymphomas and are the second most frequent extranodal lymphomas. As with other neoplasias, the pathogenesis is based mainly on a stepwise accumulation of mutations of suppressor genes and oncogenes caused by genetic, environmental or infectious factors. The diagnostic work-up includes clinical, histological, imaging and hematological investigations and in many cases immunohistochemical and molecular biological analyses. The current WHO/EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas differentiates "mature T-cell and NK-cell lymphomas", "mature B-cell lymphomas" and "immature hematopoietic malignancies", their variants and subgroups. It is compatible with the WHO classification for neoplasias of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue and respects the organ-specific peculiarities of primary cutaneous lymphomas. The assignment of the various types of cutaneous lymphomas into prognostic categories (pre-lymphomatous "abortive" disorders; definite malignant lymphomas of low-grade malignancy; definite malignant lymphomas of high-grade malignancy) provides essential information on the biological behavior and allows an appropriate planning of the therapeutic strategy, which may be topical or systemic and aggressive or non-aggressive. Besides the classical options for therapy, there are new and "experimental" strategies, the efficacy of which has to be studied in clinical trials.Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft 12/2006; 4(11):914-33. · 1.40 Impact Factor - Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft 10/2006; 4(11). · 1.40 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The new WHO/EORTC classification for cutaneous lymphomas comprises mature T-cell and natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms, mature B-cell neoplasms, and immature hematopoietic malignancies. It reflects the unique features of lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin, and at the same time it is as compatible as possible with the concepts underlying the WHO classification for nodal lymphomas and the EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas. This article reviews the histological, phenotypical, and molecular genetic features of the various nosological entities included in this new classification. These findings always have to be interpreted in the context of the clinical features and biologic behavior. To review the histological, phenotypical and molecular genetic features of the various nosological entities of the new WHO/EORTC classification for cutaneous lymphomas. Extensive review of the literature cited in Medline and own data of the authors. The WHO/EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas comprises mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms, mature B-cell neoplasms and immature hematopoietic malignancies. It reflects the unique features of primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative diseases. This classification is as much as possible compatible with the concept of the WHO classification for nodal lymphomas and the EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas. The histological, phenotypical and molecular genetic features always have to be interpreted in the context of the clinical features and biologic behavior.Journal of Cutaneous Pathology 12/2005; 32(10):647-74. · 1.56 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Image resolution required for reference histological images is high. Obtaining high-resolution images requires a system, composing large image from individual smaller components. Such systems must thus be capable of automatically taking individual image parts, performing shading compensation and fusion of the image parts into one large image. Distribution of such images over the Internet requires developing a suitable user's interface with access to the image details. The ways of creating high-resolution images (virtual slides) and the interface enabling access to image details using Internet browser are described. A collection of about 3200 dermatopathological, mostly histologic images is available at http://www.muni.cz/atlases: Hypertext atlas of dermatopathology. Methods of high-resolution image acquisition were used in digitizing the collection of skin lymphomas (Dermatology Institute, University Hospital, Zurich), which is a part of the atlas. The atlas is continuously maintained and upgraded; the number of contributors is growing.Journal of Cutaneous Pathology 08/2005; 32(6):433-7. · 1.56 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Marking excision margins of surgical specimens by silver impregnation has several advantages over commonly used Indian ink: during the slicing the tissue preserves its natural color, the staining is permanent, and the pigment does not smudge over cutting surfaces. The pigment is clearly visible in tissue sections. The tissue specimen is shortly dipped into a 10% water solution of argent nitrate (AgNO3 with HNO3). After slicing, the tissue specimens are developed in common black & white developer for several seconds and paraffin processed as usual. The method is suitable for formaldehyde fixed as well as fresh tissue specimens.Ceskoslovenska patologie 08/2005; 41(3):115-7. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Composing microscopic images of very high resolution from several parts posed some problems. One of them was the necessity to adjust the focusing level when moving from one part to another. Re-focusing lead to problems with joining the image parts, which did not correspond exactly, and the area of image fusion was noticeable. A computer program was developed to overcome these problems. Our program worked with all the image parts together to find their optimal order for image fusion. Individual image parts were joined using a steep gradient running along a randomly generated curve. This method gave good results even in images with background or holes in the tissue. The method of composing large images from individual parts was used for digitizing the skin lymphoma collection of the Institute of Dermatology, University Hospital, Zürich. This collection of digital images is a part of the 6th version of Hypertext atlas of Dermatopathology at www.muni.cz/atlases.Ceskoslovenska patologie 05/2004; 40(2):78-82. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Oncocytic cardiomyopathy is a rare arrhythmogenic disorder usually associated with female sex, difficult-to-control arrhythmias, or sudden death of infants and children. Morphologically, it is characterized by the presence of oncocytic cells, which are diffusely distributed or form the nodular structures within the myocardium, occasionally involving the valves, with a large number of mitochondria in cytoplasms. We present two cases of oncocytic cardiomyopathy. The first case had a fatal clinical outcome, and the other case was surgically treated. The nuclear expression of skeletal muscle transcription factor MyoD1 was demonstrated in the first case, supporting the theory that oncocytic cardiomyopathy is a conduction system developmental disorder. To confirm this hypothesis, it is necessary to further investigate myogenic transcription factor program in human cardiac conduction system cells.Pathology - Research and Practice 02/2004; 200(1):59-65. · 1.56 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patients with chronic pancreatitis have a markedly increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared with general population. Mechanism of the increased risk is not completely known. The current progression model for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma proposes the progression from normal ductal epithelium through a series of lesions called pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs) to invasive cancer. These lesions are frequently seen in chronic pancreatitis tissue. Proliferative activity in PanINs of chronic pancreatitis tissue has not been separately studied using the current nomenclature. Our study included 36 chronic pancreatitis resection specimens. A total number of 106 PanINs found within 32 resection specimens was histologically graded and then immunolabeled using a monoclonal antibody against Ki-67 that is expressed in dividing cells. The Ki-67 labeling indices in the increasing grades of PanINs were counted with following results: PanIN-1A, 0.77%; PanIN-1B, 3.26%; PanIN-2, 14.68%; and PanIN-3, 25.4%. The difference in Ki-67 labeling indices among these types of lesions was statistically significant (p<0.001, t-test). These results correlate with known genetic alterations found in chronic pancreatitis, especially with p16 inactivation that was recently described in PanINs arising in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Moreover, our findings support the currently accepted pancreatic progression model and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry might represent an efficient tool for an identification of a high-risk lesion.Neoplasma 01/2004; 51(5):400-4. · 1.64 Impact Factor

The annual open enrollment period for many health insurance plans starts in October. That's the time when you can make choices about your health coverage, whether you get your plan through work, like 55 percent of Americans do, or through a private Medicare plan. Consumer Reports has just released its analysis of more than 1,000 health care plans and outlines the top questions to consider before you choose.
Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports has just released this year's ratings of the most and least reliable new cars and carmakers. There are some big changes this year, with Infiniti dropping most dramatically in the ranks.
Tablets have been one of the fastest growing consumer electronics. But sales are starting to level off. And the laptop market has been declining for some time. Now there's an emerging class of computers called detachables that combines a laptop and a tablet.
You've heard it before you need at least five servings of fruits and veggies a day! Juicing offers a way to up that number. And Americans are catching on. Sales of juicers are up 25 percent in the past year.
So is Apple Pay a safer way to pay? Consumer Reports says it could be. Payment security experts say that compared to physical credit cards, mobile technology could be a safer option.
With flu season around the corner, Consumer Reports says it's best to get vaccinated as early as possible. The standard vaccine is now free, without a co-pay or deductible.
Air cleaners make claims like "capture 99 percent of allergens and irritants," "remove allergens like dust, pet dander and pollen," healthier, fresher air." Consumer Reports tested 26 portable air cleaners to see how well they work.
The latest in television technology is called OLED. It stands for organic light-emitting diodes. Organic refers to the layer of carbon film, which emits light when hit with an electric current.
Target tries to be a chic and cheap discount store. It sells everything from ketchup to coffeemakers in nearly 2,000 stores throughout the US and Canada. Consumer Reports' testing and research shows Target's store brands are often offer good value.
Who doesn't want to fly for free? But can you really get where you want to go using your
frequent-flyer miles? To find out, Consumer Reports asked staffers to try booking round-
trip tickets using their frequent-flyer miles with nine programs: Alaska, American, Delta,
Frontier, Jet Blue, Southwest, Spirit, United, and US Airways.

Since the economic downturn, we became a nation of savers, too traumatized by the economy to buy anything but the bare necessities. However, Americans are starting to spend again.
The controversy is growing over whether food should be labeled if it contains genetically modified organisms, known as GMOs.
To find the best-tasting brews, Consumer Reports prepared more than a hundred pots of coffee in its labs.
Millions of Americans now watch video that's streamed to their TV over the Internet. Many use set-top boxes such as Apple TV and Roku. But Consumer Reports just finished testing the latest Blu-ray players and says they are another great option for streaming video to your television.
Think shopping at Walmart is a bright idea? Consumer Reports' tests show it could be, if you're in the market for LED lightbulbs. LEDs are usually very expensive, but after 3,000 hours of testing, Consumer Reports found several from Walmart that are cheap and really good, including the Great Value 60-watt equivalent, A19. Use it 3 hours per day, and it should last about 22 years. Not bad for $10. Several Great Value floodlights are also a good bargain.

"No one can claim to be a member of the Cafe Beaujolais Fan Club without devouring at least two pieces of this addictive coffee cake. Our staff renews its membership regularly. We've actually tried to stop making it, but our customers won't let us, so now it has become a permanent fixture on the menu.
2 1/4 cups white flour1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup corn oil
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
Mix together in a large bowl the flour, salt, 1 tsp of the cinnamon, ginger, both sugars and corn oil. Remove 3/4 cup of this mixture, and to it add the nuts and the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well, and set aside to use as a topping.To the remaining batter, add the baking soda, baking powder, egg and buttermilk. Mix to combine all ingredients. Small lumps in the batter are OK.
Pour the batter into a well-greased 9- by 13 - by 2-inch pan. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the surface. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.

U.S. Customs Service:
Efforts to Curtail the Exportation of Stolen Vehicles
OSI-99-10: Published: May 12, 1999. Publicly Released: May 20, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Customs Service's efforts to curtail the exportation of stolen vehicles from the United States, focusing on: (1) applicable regulations for exporting used, self-propelled vehicles from the United States; (2) Customs policies and procedures for controlling the export of these vehicles; (3) methods used to illegally export these vehicles; and (4) improvements in operations being considered by Customs.
GAO noted that: (1) at the ports GAO visited, Customs complied with its regulatory procedures for exporting used, self-propelled vehicles by reviewing the documentation of ownership and inspecting the vehicles presented for export to ensure that they were the vehicles described in the documentation; (2) to circumvent Customs vehicle exportation procedures, thieves have used false documents as proof of vehicle ownership; (3) they have also altered vehicle identification numbers (VIN), switched vehicles after inspection of VINs, hidden vehicles in containers, and driven vehicles across border crossings without reporting them; (4) in order to more efficiently and effectively deter the export of stolen vehicles, Customs has published proposed amendments to its regulations in the Federal Register; (5) these amendments limit the type of document that can be used to establish proof of a vehicle's ownership and would permit only an original or certified copy of title or an original manufacturer's statement of origin as proof of ownership; (6) in addition, Customs officials, state and federal law enforcement agencies, and the insurance industry are exploring methods, such as computer-assisted documentation checks and nonintrusive cargo container examinations, to curtail the export of stolen vehicles; and (7) the Department of State has been negotiating bilateral treaties with several countries to alleviate the difficulty that owners of stolen vehicles face when their vehicles have been transported across international borders.

Inspiration to Lead,
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
When I was about 50 pages into reading Tribes, I was finding it quite repetitive and, frankly, was wondering what all the hype was about. It seemed like Seth Godin was simply saying the same thing over and over using different words each time. About halfway through the book, I changed my perception about it and began to take a different view.
My initial perception was that Tribes was a book about leadership. If you're looking for a book that teaches you how to lead, you would likely be disappointed in Tribes. My new view is that Tribes is meant to inspire people to lead, rather than teach them to lead. There's a big difference. Did you have a class in school where the teacher simply presented the material in the textbook, you read it, took a quiz and that was it. If you were good at rote memorization, you probably got a good grade in that class. But were you inspired to learn more about that subject? I'll confess, my only motivation in a class like that was to get a good grade and move on to something more interesting. But then there were the teachers who led the class into interesting discussions and motivated you to want to learn more. That's leadership; that's connecting with your tribe. Most of us can learn anything if we work hard enough at it. The big question is: are we motivated to learn it? We can do almost anything; the real question is are we passionate enough- do we care enough about it- to do something about it,to be a leader for that cause? I see Tribes as an inspirational book, not as a "how-to-lead" book. Tribes is a "pep talk" to help us find that leader within each of us. You don't have to be the president or the CEO to lead. And perhaps your area of leadership doesn't even involve your work. Perhaps your inner-leader is what motivates you to be a boy scout leader, or a Sunday school teacher. Maybe there is a cause you feel so strongly about (AIDS, breast cancer, heart disease, disadvantaged children, whatever) that you feel compelled to step into a leadership role. Many times I've heard people lament the hardships and injustices in the world, and they act as if they're powerless to do anything about them. But the truth is, no one is powerless. We all have a voice. Seth Godin's Tribes reminds us that there is a leader living inside each of us. It is up to us to live up to the calling of leadership and to realize that we can lead the change we would like to see in our own corner of the world.

Aggravatingly short on substance.,
By M. Strong (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
I've almost never been so painfully aware of a book's shortcomings while reading it. Not long into the book, you pick up on a pattern: Godin blithely throws out broad statements about how anyone can become a leader and how we should all strive to be leaders. He then gives the thinnest of examples of how his version of leadership can look. One example is of a guy who gets sick of waiting in line for one party, then goes to an empty bar, texts his friends and starts his own party. Viola! Instant leadership. But even Godin points out, that guy didn't get that party going in four minutes, he got it going using relationships he'd built over four years (or more) so people would respond to his text.
That's where you begin to see the problem. Godin doesn't explain how to go about doing the actual hard groundwork of leadership. He makes it sound like anyone with an idea and a cell phone can rally thousands of people to their cause in minutes if they just realize that it's not hard. Really? How does that work? First off, we can't all be leaders. The math just doesn't work. If every one of us is to be a leader to one thousand, it means that we must also take time to be a follower for 1,000 other leaders who also need their "tribe". Pretty basic arithmetic, and I don't think we've all got that kind of time. Godin just skips from one shallow and unsupported, but grandiose statement about leadership to another. The one concrete example he gives in the book about how you might actually go about doing the work of leading comes when he describes his early work experience in a software company. He explains how he got the most out of shallow programming resources by starting a newsletter that created a sense of excitement around his project and attracted programmers to it. That's not only a great idea, it's a practical example a reader who wanted to lead could emulate. This book needs far more of those examples. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this book is Godin's repeated sincere insistence that what's important these days is to be stylish and new, not established and stable. I just kept thinking, "isn't this the attitude that's gotten us into the economic mess we're in right now? Throw out what works for something that sounds good?" I couldn't believe I was reading something so misguided. In the end, this book ends up feeling like something Godin banged out in a couple of months in order to generate some sales for himself and his publisher. There's a distinct lack of substance in this book, and Godin's sole useful example is one he could pull from his own memory without getting up from his desk or even picking up a phone. Good writing takes far more work than that, and so does good leadership. This book is an example of neither.

All-Inclusive Invitation to Lead Combined with Rants about What Not to Do,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 124,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
This book's theme is unconventional leadership, taking a cause or idea and gathering support without a firm institutional foundation by finding like-minded individuals and connecting them. If that's a new idea to you, you will find the book to be flattering in its encouragement and motivational in its tone. If you are an unconventional leader already or know a lot about how to do this, you will search in vain for anything new in Tribes.
The book's substance is rather thin beyond the few examples and rants. Here it is: People are turned into a tribe by "a shared interest" and "a way to communicate" ("leader to tribe, tribe to leader, tribe member to tribe member, and tribe member to outsider"). A leader increases effectiveness for the people by" "transforming the shared interest into a passionate goal and desire for change; "providing tools to allow members to tighten their communications; and "leveraging the tribe to allow it to grow and gain new members." As you can see, he's describing the way causes, nonprofits, political pressure groups, and save the world organizations operate. Some will be offended by the rants. For example, he takes off rather hard on all religions while being all in favor of faith that you can accomplish whatever you want. There's no real basis for his position other than generalities about how no religions ever favor any changes. Well, if that were the case, there would still be rampant slavery in many nations. It was religious organizations that led the antislavery movement from the beginning. Mr. Godin is very well informed about things that happened recently on the Internet (or in his own life), but he doesn't seem to have a broader understanding of leadership or change leadership. If either subject interests you, I suggest that you read better informed authors like John Kotter (Leading Change, The Heart of Change: Real-Life Stories of How People Change Their Organizations, and A Sense of Urgency), John Maxwell (The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You, and Developing the Leader Within You), and Peter Drucker (Innovation and Entrepreneurship). I found his commentary that getting ideas is unimportant to be particularly unhelpful. He feels that leadership is all about passion and communication. But with the wrong ideas, you can be passionate about communicating harmful changes. Ultimately, this is a book that will be enjoyed by those who cannot stop admiring themselves enough. Mr. Godin will encourage them to take actions so they can admire themselves even more. Whatever happened to servant leadership? Seth Godin fans can't seem to get enough exhortations and rants directing them to be bigger, bolder, and more assertive than ever before about anything that occurs to them. I suppose I should review these books by comparing them to what New Age gurus suggest rather than serious books about accomplishing useful things. I was intrigued to see that Mr. Godin addressed those who give his books critical reviews by noting that he's pleased that anyone takes the books seriously. Perhaps they aren't meant to be taken seriously. My mistake.

The hype is about...what, exactly?,
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
I'm still a little leery, whenever I hear about the next big social media visionary or their idea(s), to expect that they will impart anything truly revolutionary. If you have even a passing interest in the social web and how it might impact society and doing business as a whole, you've accepted, to some degree, that we are embarking on a paradigm-shifting experience in the way customer and consumers communicate. We all understand and appreciate this, to whatever degree we do.
I find - as you probably do - that there are a few basic steps to wading into the social media fray, if you are dong so from a business standpoint: 1. Know the architecture (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.), 2. Adopt it, 3. Integrate it with your current web presence, 4. Create good content and distribute it effectively, and 5. Enjoy and participate in the 'best practices' debate with other field professionals about how best to deploy good content, measure results, and make recommendations accordingly. "Tribes" addresses none of these. If someone claims a book is a 'must read,' as Senator Bill Bradley does about "Tribes," I expect there to be something remarkable in it, something that will make me consider not only marketing in the 2.0 environment, but social interaction as a whole. Despite the endorsements of the majority of readers, my leeriness carries the day. Look: essentially, if you want to get a better feel for how to best harness the social media phenomenon for business purposes, read Dan Schawbel's "Me 2.0" and Gary Vaynerchuk's "Crush It!", in that order. They are both about equally as brief (in terms of pages), yet contain much more relevant and practical insight into what you can achieve with regards to positioning your personal brand and your company's, respectively, or perhaps most important, both, simultaneously. They've both done it, tell you how, and tell you what you could do. I'm sure Seth Godin is a good guy but I can't help feel he's pontificating here (and I never thought I'd be able to use that word and mean it). He essentially writes: 1. The old way of doing business is...old. 2. People can - and should - rise up to take the lead and utilize the free and omnipresent social media tools to promote what matters most to them, and if they do, people and ultimately - their employers - will or should follow. 3. If they don't, they should. And that's basically it. I don't mean to be trite or reductive, but I'm serious. Dan Scahwbel and Gary Vaynerchuk speak to these points, but provide the "how to" guides that Godin so blithely dismisses. Seth - I'm sorry - but you didn't write the manifesto you thought you wrote, you wrote a 160 page-long diary entry. To yourself, to boot. I want to know what you think I can do, but also, how you think I should do it.

Don't waste your time and money,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
I've just finished reading it. Totally agree with the comments below. I have been a tribe leader for quite some time now. And what I was looking in that book is to find something new, something that would improve my leadership and my tribe. Unfortunately, the author does not go into details and does not say how to become a leader. What you will find in the book is the constant repetition that you should not be afraid of change and always express your ideas, no matter how stupid they may seem. All the content in the book could have been written in 20 to 25 pages, instead we get about 150.
Now, I am pretty sure that the first thirty positive comments about this book were made by the Godin's tribe followers. At least, he is good at that.

Repetition and Boredom,
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
Awful book of generalizations with no facts, data, or interesting anecdotes to back it up. Very disappointing. I very much regret purchasing this book. What's worse is that I have it on audio so I had to listen to Godin's rants in his monotone and sheepish voice. Please avoid this book at all costs. Let's create a tribe to get Godin to stop writing books.

Incoherent Ramblings,
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
I am giving this book one star because I have nothing positive to say about. I gave the book a serious go but after a while it became irritating to continue reading. Allow me to elaborate.
One of my biggest complaints with this book is the author's tendency to make sweeping claims which in itself isn't entirely bad. The bad kicks in when the author does not even make an effort to back up these claims. In between these generalities, Godin throws in every day statements which shows no insight whatsoever. There is no logical sequence to the different sections. I cannot even call it a true stream of conscious writing because one section does not logically lead to another. Godin suffers this fault even within a section. Reading the first paragraph of certain sections and the last paragraph will serve only to confuse as they often do not belong together. I did gather from my reading that the author believes we all have what it takes to be a leader - each and every one of us. Why be a follower when you could be a leader? Gather fans - true fans. Exactly 1000 true fans will cut it no matter what field you're in. Out with the old and established. In with the new and stylish. That's a sample of the rubbish that Mr. Godin proposes. I did him a favor by organizing it into a more coherent message. He seems to level his support behind being a bandwagon jumper. He embraces new technologies and in the next section, claims that Twitter's popularity is short lived. Please heed this warning and do not waste your time with this book of ramblings.

Band of Hunter-Gatherers,
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
Seth Godin fails to: (1) provide insight into essential leadership responsibilities such as cultivating, nurturing and developing the tribe and its members; (2) describe and assess other key tribal job functions; and (3) suggest and emphasize application of tribal knowledge to benefit society. I'm left with the impression that being a tribal leader is not a means, but an end in itself.
For solid critical thinking and analysis on "tribal" leadership, I recommend "The Essential Drucker: The Best of Sixty Years of Peter Drucker's Essential Writings on Management".

Long on Repetition, Short on Substance,
By Mel R. Scurbica (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
Like many of Seth Godin's books, this book is short on substance.
Here's the gist of the book: - Leaders don't accept the limitations imposed by others. - Leaders don't accept the status quo. - Leaders don't follow, they lead. - We need leaders. - We need you to lead us. Even though it's a quick read, by the time I got two-thirds of the way through the book, I realized there wasn't any reason for me to keep reading because Seth repeats the same thing over and over again. I'll return the book to the library today.

Way Over-rated Book That Could Cut 99% of Pages,
This review is from: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Hardcover)
Seth Godin is a great marketeer. But he is really bad as a writer. Everything could really be summarized within 10 pages and I just have this feeling I've been had. Good for him for catching me but I'll never buy another book from him again.

I agree with liliv. I don't like the original sleeves bands that come with the pattern. I'm actually finishing up my own version of this pattern and I got rid of the sleeve bands. Your version is very nice. Great color combo and I love your sleeves which fit perfect and look much better than the original ones.
May 27, 2013, 07.49 PMby liliv-1
Fabulous! How did you make these sleeves? I like the dress pattern but I don't like the huge sleeves, I don't want it sleeveles either … yours are so sweet!!!
May 28, 2013, 02.25 AMby ronnielee
No pattern piece was supplied for the sleeves, just instructions how to make. I had seen previous versions and wasn't to fussed about how they looked. I just measured the circumference of sleeves and went from there!

More reviews by makeupisagirlsbestfriend2
This is my perfect lip gloss. Its very close to my natural lip colour. I can wear this all day long, i love the feeling of it. Its creamy but not sticky at all. I love the fact that there is no shimmer or glitter to it. I always keep an extra one on hand. Only down side is that it's on the pricey side and i do seem to go through a tube fairy quickly. I haven't found a less expensive dupe, but this its worth every penny for the colour, quality, and lack of sparkles/shimmer. I hope Mac keeps this in there line forever.
More reviews by AQuestionofLust
I got this for free at one of my local MAC pro-stores via the Back 2 MAC program. Otherwise, I would never have tried it. Big mistake!
I avoid MAC lip products in general because they either dry out my lips or make them feel stickier than the La Brea tar pits. I like to be kissed, so sticky glosses are strictly for special occasions for me. This gloss is cushiony and moisturizing. The light vanilla flavor isn't overwhelming, which is nice. I especially like that the shine is lustrous and rich vs. the old plastic-hooker-lip look.
Deelight is a perfect compromise between nude and pink. I would say it is For me it's a perfect MLBB shade. All I need is this, concealer, and an eye lash curler to feel nice about myself, which is awesome! You can apply just a dab or build it up for a bit more hue, if you'd like, without feeling like you're adding pounds to your lips.
I think Deelight just may be the first lipgloss I actually finish! A great go-to item for a fellow makeup-look minimalist. It suits my fair golden olive skin and dark hair and eyes as well as it suits my blonde, blue eyed, porcelain skinned friend. It's a perfect every day color.
This is my HG natural lip color. It is basically the same shade as my lips so I have worn down half a tube in about three months. I will be purchasing again.
More reviews by bestjessicaever
Love this. Very smooth, creamy, and gentle on my lips. Makes them look just the right amount of moist, not overdone or goopy. Great texture and scent, not tacky and not overpowering. Staying power is pretty good considering what it is.
The color is a beautifully flattering pinkish nude that I find perfect for everyday wear. Sometimes I have to give public speeches and find this to be my go to lip gloss because it doesn't make my lips smack or stick together (not to hate on the Lipglasses but this definitely doesn't scream "I'm trying too hard" the way they sometimes can). I would recommend this to anyone.

I love this gloss. I wear it on top of mac's touch lipstick.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
love this gloss the color is pretty much the same color as my lips so it's as if iam wearing a clear gloss and this tube can probably last me a really long time but i def would repurchase
I love this as an everyday gloss and I love how there is no shimmer and its neither sticky or thick. Its a simple pink/nude colour that just allows yours lips to look naturally beautiful with a nice glassy finish
More reviews by pineappleremix
I'm not a fan of gloss but I actually am really impressed with this one. First of the vanilla scent is lovely! Secondly it's not all that sticky :)
Also has a really great application and it can easily be paired with any look.
This is my favorite gloss because it goes on smoothly with no stickiness or tackiness. Deelight looks mauvey on me, but it's neutral enough that it is probably universally flattering. Even though it is a little pricey, I will definitely repurchase. Love the color and the formula.

Classifying their actions as arrogance is an interesting take on the event. It does rather overlook the fact that they might have been expressing concern for the sailor's ultimate safety. The Navy has just as much right to utilize international waters as the next person. If one feels that their rights of passage are being interfered with by such exercises they can, of course, feel free to ignore naval warnings in international waters. Personally, as a master of merchant ships, my policy was to avoid all naval activity at all times. Naval flotillas are prone to erratic actions and do some dangerous things while burning up the taxpayers money. Some of those things happen at high rates of speed, often in excess of thirty knots, so the ship you didn't see could well be running you under in less than a half hour.
Arguing with the Navy on the high seas is the equivalent to arguing with a state trooper alongside the road at two in the morning. We all know how it's supposed to turn out, but the question is, do we really want to press our luck and find out?

Report: Contending teams consider "renting" Carmelo Anthony for season
Dec 21, 2010, 4:18 PM EST
Much of the focus on Carmelo Anthony's trade prospects has centered on whether Anthony would sign a contract extension to play wherever he was sent. But what if a contending team was willing to trade for him without caring about an extension? That is apparently happening (well, that or it's a negotiating tactic). Sources told…

Hawks 91, Magic 81: It's going to take some time for the Magic to figure this all out. They started Jameer Nelson, Jason Richardson,…
The first time the Miami played Dallas back in November, the Heat players were still figuring it out.

Report: Magic call about Knicks Ronny Turiaf as backup center

They went from having one of the best in the league with Marcin Gortat, to having Earl Clark. Which is tough in a conference where you want to beat the Boston Celtics. The Magic…
