CTI Announces United Kingdom National Cancer Research Institute AML Cooperative Group Phase 2 Trial Evaluating Pacritinib For Patients With Relapsed FLT3 Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia
SEATTLE, Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTI) (NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) today announced the initiation of an international cooperative group Phase 2 clinical trial of pacritinib in adult patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with mutations of the FLT3 gene. Mutation of the FLT3 gene is found in approximately one-third of AML patients and is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis. Pacritinib is an oral JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor that has demonstrated encouraging activity in preclinical models of AML with mutated FLT3 gene, including additional FLT3 mutations that confer resistance to other targeted FLT3 agents. The trial is being conducted by the AML Working Group of the National Cancer Research Institute Haematological Oncology Study Group in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and high risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) under the sponsorship of Cardiff University and supported by Cancer Research UK. The trial management group is lead by Professor Alan K. Burnett, Head of Haematology in the Department of Medical Genetics, Haematology and Pathology at the School of Medicine at Cardiff University.
"Mutation of the FLT3 gene in AML is associated with a high relapse rate and a poor prognosis with standard therapy; therefore, novel agents capable of inhibiting the activation of this gene are of great interest in the AML field," said Professor Burnett. "Pacritinib is a specific, potent inhibitor of the common FLT3 mutation and certain other generally drug resistant mutations. Because pacritinib also inhibits JAK2, which is independently associated with resistance to FLT3 inhibition and a poor prognosis in AML, this is an attractive agent to test in patients with relapsed FLT3 mutated AML who have limited options for beneficial therapy."
This Phase 2 trial is part of a larger ongoing study in AML, referred to as the AML17 trial, which includes multiple arms evaluating first line regimens for AML. Patients with the FLT3 mutation, who are enrolled in this study and relapse following standard therapy, will be offered therapy with pacritinib. Approximately 80 patients at sites in England and Wales will be enrolled and, if an encouraging response rate is observed, a pacritinib arm may be adopted in the first line therapy study.
About Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Although AML can occur at any age, adults aged 60 years and older are more likely to develop the disease than younger people. AML is a cancer characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. AML may develop from the progression of other diseases, such as MDS, a blood cancer that also affects the bone marrow leading to a decrease in circulating red blood cells. AML is the most common acute leukemia affecting adults, and its incidence increases with age. Internal tandem duplication mutations of the FLT3 gene are found in approximately one-third of those diagnosed with AML. 1 The mutation is associated with an inferior outcome attributed to a higher relapse rate. The symptoms of AML are caused by the replacement of normal bone marrow with leukemic cells, which causes a drop in red blood cells, platelets and normal white blood cells, leading to infections and bleeding. AML progresses rapidly and is typically fatal within weeks or months if left untreated. Although a substantial proportion of younger individuals who develop AML can be cured, AML in the elderly typically responds poorly to standard therapy with few complete remissions. About Pacritinib Pacritinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor with dual activity against JAK2 and FLT3. The JAK family of enzymes is a central component in signal transduction pathways, which are critical to normal blood cell growth and development, as well as inflammatory cytokine expression and immune responses. Mutations in these kinases have been shown to be directly related to the development of a variety of blood-related cancers, including myeloproliferative neoplasms, leukemia and lymphoma. Pacritinib may offer an advantage over other JAK inhibitors through effective treatment of symptoms while having less treatment-emergent thrombocytopenia and anemia than has been seen in currently approved and in-development JAK inhibitors.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Developing optimism and resiliency isn't about feigning a facsimile of terminal perkiness and blind optimism. It's quite the opposite. It's having the courage to see and meet life exactly as it is. It's all about choosing to learn how to respond to each adversity with confidence, hope and renewed vigor.
Work place flexibility helps all employees, so it's little surprise that women with MS say it's important as well. Women with MS need more help in the workplace -- and flexibility is an easy place to start.
So... in honor of YOU, here are 50 cool quotes on possibility. You don't have to like them all. One will do just fine. But when you find the ONE that really moves you, let it sink in. Contemplate it. Feel it. Then take your next step.
In this case, our home seller was experiencing the negative side of the Ikea Effect, but there are a few positive ones you should know about because they can, in fact, save you a lot of money (or even make you a lot) and add an extra layer of happiness to your life.
Besides learning that Fiats do not in fact come standard with a spare tire, my solo travels taught me quite a few other things. Here are some of the most memorable lessons I learned over the course of my travels:
So I began to meditate again. Quietly, without telling anyone in particular. In the winter morning dark, I come downstairs. I settle myself in the living room chair. And there, I breathe. In. Out. Watching the breath, turning my focus inward. Two? Three? Ten minutes? Each day is different. I try not to judge, to forgive myself on the mornings when it's hard to quiet my mind.
After many years of neglecting sleep's importance in our lives, we've entered a golden age of sleep studies. Christian Benedict, a neuroscientist at Uppsala University in Sweden, is helping lead this scientific movement, with a particular emphasis on how sleep is connected to performance in school.
She is both crushingly disabled by autism and absolutely, emphatically her own self. She is a gift, that much is true. But her autism, like my missing fingers or my damaged DNA, is not.
Conventional wisdom says that things like pizza, fried chicken, ice cream, and cake, are nutritionally vile and calorically offensive. Perhaps. But one thing I've learned about myself: I can't eat solely for nutrition all the time, just as I can no longer eat solely for pleasure as I once did.
Maybe you can't find a way around your long work day or an extra busy schedule, but that doesn't mean you have to forgo healthy eating entirely.
Over the years, I have found some surefire tricks, shortcuts and general guidelines that make staying on track much easier to do.
We applaud the authors of the JAMA commentary, the NYT's op-ed, and the subsequent NYT's letters to the editor for bringing the issue of inadequate comprehensive psychiatric mental health care to the forefront and proposing an alternative.
Upon the electronic distribution of a picture of nothing more than a dress, we saw the birth of the stalwart White-and-golders and the die-hard Black-and-bluers. This dress is a nice example of how what you see isn't necessarily what you perceive.
The FDA's approval of the marketing of genetics-testing company 23andMe's carrier test for Bloom syndrome affirmed the rights of consumers to drive their own healthcare decisions and procedures. But it also means that it has become urgent to develop policies to regulate the rights of companies to resell data derived from the contents of our DNA and from our medical records.
I sat up and as much as I could, gathered the heart monitor's leeds to the side, and brought Aura's body sort of close to mine. I pressed her ear against my chest. We were speechless, so she might as well just listen to my heart, and I might as well just breathe.
We can take milk, or leave it. Take milk fat, or leave that. Either way, we can have a good diet of wholesome foods in sensible combinations -- or not. But either way, we need to take seriously the reverberations of our dietary choices across the landscape of a shrinking planet, and the legacy of kindness or cruelty by which history will be invited to judge us.
For this workout, all you need is a ball. It's called a stability ball and it can work every muscle group in your body without the help of any weights.
Months after my father died, I found myself in New York City, wandering through the Museum of Modern Art, a place I love. On the third floor, in an exhibit featuring the work of Gauguin, I felt his presence strongly.

Giving hope to others through the spirit of one child, DJ's Hope 4 Hearts is dedicated to the healing hearts of children, so that he or she can grow in love, peace, and happiness. DJ's Hope 4 Hearts was founded in 2012 to honor the memory of its namesake, DJ Merriman. DJ's heart was damaged by a virus when he was an infant, and from the time he was 17 months old, he was dependent on a pacemaker to keep his heart pumping. In January 2012, 17 year old DJ passed away in his sleep from cardiomyopathy, also known as an enlarged heart. He took with him the hearts of many, but inspired those of us left behind to make a difference.

When a child becomes sick, it is a life changing event for the entire family. DJ's Hope 4 Hearts has a two-fold mission. We seek to become an educational resource for children and their families on the signs and symptoms of cardiomyopathy and other deadly heart diseases, and provide financial support to families dealing with heart diseases.

Our organization is 100% volunteer run, with minimal overhead. Nearly every penny of every dollar raised goes directly to a child or family in need.

Another personal stimulus plan for The Kentucky company, authored by Rep. Harold Rogers, a Republican who is now the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Instead of paying $2,500.00 for a hydraulic drip pan for a Blackhawk Helicopter.. So that is 7 times more made on each pan sold.. and they have sold $6.5 million dollars worth.. nice profit. A man from Kentucky, sure is lucky... everything that is wrong with Congress... Behind Army's $17,000 drip pan, a Kentucky lawmaker's earmark | Dallasnews.com - News for Dallas, Texas - The Dallas Morning News
It takes experience to compare prices between something that has to operate in combat and something that doesn't. Channel 5's eye in the sky doesn't typically face gun fire. The great thing about ear marks is that someone with the experience I spoke about can now review the situation and if it stinks a person who can be voted out of office will have his/her finger prints all over it. Better that than some faceless bureaucrat that never faces re-election.
The congressman should pay back the 5+ million dollars out of his own pocket.. that may stop this crap.
This is an outrage. The guy should be brought up on charges of fraud, even if it doesn't stick. I guess his constituents are ok with it, thus he keeps his job.
Where's the rant? For someone who continuously posts about the government's scandals, one would expect more.
Willard chimed in yesterday and the continual fleecing of the american people should continue, where is the Peace Dividend??? Where were you Willard during the Viet Nam War... where all favorite sons go, to a cushy college complete with deferments.. Sounds like Ronald Reagan, again.. there is a scare out there somewhere, maybe in our "territory" of Panama again... or maybe he wants to invade Grenada, again. Reinforcing Alliance's Military Might Is Vital Obama is not responsible for the $1 trillion in military spending reductions over the next decade. The Obama administration effect nearly $500 billion in cuts over the next decade, but those cuts — are agreed to by the military's top brass, as Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said. Panetta said the cuts will still allow "the capability to confront and defeat more than one adversary at a time." Congress is responsible for the other $500 billion in military spending cuts as a result of the bipartisan debt deal that was signed into law. Those reductions are set to take place because of the the deal put in place should lawmakers fail to agree on how to find savings elsewhere.
My immediate reaction echos the rest of the replies in this thread. Earmarks/overspending, whatever term you want to use for it is crap, should stop or at the very least be looked into to protect we, the tax payers. This rep should be held accountable for their over payment for services/products rendered and if there are any possible legal ramifications, they should be applied here. Now to expand on this topic - this is a prime example of my fears with the government getting more involved in various policies and markets such as Healthcare. When something is privatized, at the end of the day the company in question looks to minimize cost and maximize profit. The costs are scrutinized and most waste is removed. Now we clearly have evidence of "corps gone wild" of late, so I can understand some posters disagreeing with the point, but our government "isn't for profit". They don't generally dissect spending bills to ensure they are getting the best cost they can. After all its a line item out of thousands and "its going to help my constituents!". If we want the government to take on more stuff, such as healthcare, fine, lets have an adult conversation about it. But BAU in DC will have to change, because if the government will just pay whatever the suppliers "tell" them it costs, examples of this will become more and more common, and "we" wont be around long (see EuroZone). Beyond my expectation of more thorough review of spending by the government we have have have to cut our spending on the military big time. Our enemies today are the equivalent of uneducated hicks; people with AKs, cellphones and IEDs....an F-22 is overkill. Beyond that we should start spending more of our treasure on investing in ourselves and less investing in destruction. D
I agree with the "Left Wingers" on this one, wouldn't it be nice now if the Media would go after everybody in congress who sit idly by while this rip off is being commited with the same Passion and Disgust as they did with Sarah Palin. What does "Teeth" Pelosi and her little Lap Dog Harry Reid have to say about this, where is that awful wretched women Shelia Jackson Lee, why doesn't Barack Hussein "Ears" Obama hold a press conference condeming this, where is Windbag Biden, somewhere in America a man sits at his kitchen table crying because he is going to be evicted, there's no food for his family, his dog just got shot by a f-cked up GANG drive by, his kid just sh!t twice in her diaper and he can't buy new ones, his wife is screwing the guy upstairs, he was going to stick his head in the oven this morning but they just turned his gas off. MICHELLE IS PLANNING ANOTHER $32,OOO,000,68 VACATION :bricks:
HB - I would be hard pressed to say this is "Left" or "Right" issue. I think the idea of our elected representatives wasting our money should piss just about everyone off. Just like shareholders would hold the head of company they own shares of accountable for poor performance, we (the shareholders of our government) should hold our reps accountable. Problem is the systemic issues that DC as a whole has. We need a culture change...but I won't hold my breathe on that one. Where was W, Cheney and the rest of his henchmen when this was happening under their watch? This situation didn't start on 1/20/2009.

According to Greek mythology, olivewood is known as the "tree of life." One look at the magnificent imperfections of this wood and you get a sense of history. The fine grain. The rich color. And the veins: some darker, some golden, some lighter. All worn smooth by the passage of time. For centuries...

Post-holiday discounts helped many US retailers lift their sales in January, according to monthly figures released yesterday (2 February), but overall results were mixed as many consumers shopped cautiously amid the struggling economy.
For apparel retailers there was the added challenge of warm weather curbing sales of winter coats, boots and other winter basics, as well as tougher year-ago comparisons.
That said, retail same-store sales stepped up to a 4.9% gain in January, largely on the back of improved results from retailers such as Target, the second-largest US discount retailer, according to Kantar Retail. This was better than the 3.6% same-store sales gain last month and the 4.2% gain in January 2011.
"Whether January's growth can be sustained may depend on whether shoppers' spending intentions show more signs of stalling out in the months ahead," said senior economist Frank Badillo.
"That underlying trend appears to be overwhelmed at the moment by the mixed retail and economic reports."
For many retailers January is the quietest month of the year as shoppers tighten their belts after Christmas and stores try to clear unsold inventories.
Regional department store operator Stage Stores saw its same-store sales fall 0.1%, and said its gross margin was "negatively impacted by the promotional business environment."
While Bon-Ton Stores, where same-store sales fell 3.5%, weaker than expected January sales were blamed on the "continuation of the milder weather in our markets, which had an adverse impact on sales of cold-weather merchandise and comprised the majority of our sales shortfall."
Disappointing results were also seen at department-store chain Dillard's, where revenue at stores open at least a year were flat with last year. Sales also dropped 13% at teen clothier Wet Seal, while Gap Inc blamed its 4% fall in comps on a "clearance-based" January.
Other chains like Macy's saw a 2.4% increase but missed analyst estimates.
Winners included Victoria's Secret parent Limited Brands where same-store sales were up 9%; and an even higher 10.5% gain at Saks Inc where women's contemporary and "gold range" designer apparel and men's clothing and contemporary apparel sold particularly well.
Target, meanwhile, topped expectations with a 4.3% rise in same- store sales, with its strongest performers including shoes, and boys' and girls' clothing.

online tutoring is so wonderful for those that are struggling with their subjects. They can be young or older. It does not matter. Everyone is learning at different rates. So many people can use this feature of the Internet. It can help them get through their classes. Some need this boost and it is okay to ask for help.
It is hard to return to school especially if it has been a while. It takes courage to return and it is commendable for anyone who does this. If there have been no breaks between times going then that is okay, too. Getting reminded of various skills we learned in the past or more recently if we did not have a break will be necessary. A tutor can help this.
Brushing up on skills is a good thing to do. We all need to do that from time to time. There is nothing to be embarrassed about when it comes to this fact. Get a tutor that is understanding about where you stand with your academic development. Do not get one that is impatient and judgmental as this will get you nowhere.
Finding a tutor is not hard. You can find them on the Internet. Check out their fees and make sure they are affordable to you. If they are not, then do not get into without being able to finish it. See if they have any terms and conditions that you must pay attention to. If they have a monthly rate that has a package deal, that may be the best way to go.
Learning new things is so good for everyone to do. We all need to grow mentally and academically. It helps our spirit and soul to move forward with things. It stimulates us which can help us feel good about ourselves. Keep this up as long as you possibly can. You will see the difference it makes.
Getting a tutor is worth the expense. It will help us see past our weaknesses and help us overcome difficulties in our studies. The tutor should be compassionate and non-judgmental as well as patient and understanding. Be selective in your choice of one. You may be spending a lot of time with him or her and having it be a good relationship should probably be a priority.
Use the money you have to spend on a tutor. Find the right tutor so you are on track with whatever subject or subjects you are struggling with. Practice anything you are struggling with. It is like taking music lessons because in order to get good at things, you must keep up with the practicing.
online tutoring assists those that are having issues with a subject. There are many tutors available for most subjects. Inquire about this when you first met one to see if they can help you with the subject that you are not sure about. Ask them specifically what you can do improve and if they can show you some steps to that improvement.

I plan to buy a Ritz VXi, but Maruti is not offering any discount. Will the company offer one soon?
Deepak Joshi
The Ritz VXi, which uses the petrol engine, is a popular car, and much in demand. Hence, there is no reason for the company to give discounts, especially if there is a wait list in some parts of the country.
What is a Teflon coating and can one apply it immediately after buying a new car? I want powerful headlamps for my next car, perhaps, a Swift Dzire, as I cannot handle the glare from the high-beam headlights of oncoming vehicles at night. Which lamps should I buy and what are Xenons? Is white light better than yellow? Are there any products I can apply to the windscreen to avoid glare at night? Which sunfilm is good? Are tubeless tyres better than tubed ones, and are radials better than cross-ply tyres? And, lastly, what is the difference between AC and climate control?
Rajeev Agrawal
Phew. That's quite a battery of questions. Teflon coating is a protective coating. A new car does not need such a coating as it is already polished. Get the Teflon treatment done at an authorised workshop, even if it is a little expensive; some also give warranty. Higher wattage lamps are available. Ensure you buy ceramic bulb holders and a relay (cutout) and good quality wiring when you install these. The bulb in a Xenon lamp uses Xenon gas. These bulbs generally run much cooler than regular halogen lamps. But, stick to the regular lamps as most Xenons available in the market are not good, and some are very expensive. White light is not better than the regular light as it gets dispersed more easily; when there is oncoming traffic, your vision will not be as good as with the regular yellow lamps. Using Colin spray on the windscreen will help keep the glare out. Also keep the wipers in a good condition. Old and hard wipers will leave scratches on the windscreen, which results in glare at night. Garware, Llumar and Vkool are good sunfilm brands, available in various price ranges. Tubeless tyres are better than tube-type tyres because they run cooler, which is useful if you drive at high speeds regularly. Tubeless tyres are also more convenient; when there is a puncture, air doesn't escape immediately, and you can continue driving till you reach a repair shop. The construction of the stronger radial tyres is different from cross-ply tyres. AC is the regular air-conditioner found in most cars that allows you to control the temperature and fan speeds and other modes manually via knobs on the dashboard. Automatic climate control is computer controlled, and takes a reading via sensors in the cabin to control the temperature and humidity inside the car. All you have to do is set the temperature and the rest is done by the climate control.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY -- The Brunswick County superintendent is responding to a third lawsuit filed against the school system.
Earlier this week parents of a former South Brunswick High student filed a lawsuit against the school system after their son was sexually molested by a janitor.
Brunswick County Superintendent Katie McGee says she has taken important steps in protecting students at Brunswick County schools. She released this statement Friday regarding the lawsuit, saying: "I hired a professional experienced in ethics issues to train the principals and assistant principals on identifying and preventing inappropriate or potentially inappropriate relationships between employees and students."
The lawsuit against the Brunswick County school system alleges faculty at South Brunswick High allowed the victim to be excused from class to engage in sexual molestation with 74-year-old janitor Collis Hewett.
The lawsuit also alleges the boy's parents had no knowledge their son was being excused from class or that he was being molested over the course of two years. They say the school board tried to cover up the sexual assaults.
The lawsuit also alleges the janitor was not terminated but was allowed to retire with benefits. He's pleaded guilty to seven counts of sexual offenses with a student and six counts of indecent liberties with a child. He's currently awaiting sentencing.

Thanks again guys. This has been great for me to understand things better.
I wrote a few of the top authors and started asked, I've had one response that was like "Of course!" lol … So, this is looking like it's going to be a great thing.
I would love to show demo sites CanYigit. I just have to be careful not to list one's with "BUY THIS THEME NOW " lol… because I promise, people will buy them, then be lost, and I'll lose them as clients….
BUT … light bulb just went off. Instead of trying to pass it off as something I've done, Maybe change "Portfolio" to "Sites" then put a small text that says, "Here's a few sites that I could possibly create for you." ...then screen shot and link to the demo. This way, it's not me saying, this is what I've done. It's me saying, If you want X site, I can make that happen for you.
I'm not trying to re-sell, or anything strange. I'm sure (must of) you have been there before when getting started. I just need to have something up there long enough to get the first few clients, then I can start using my own work in the "Portfolio" section. Infuse01 had a great point too. Maybe make 2 sections on the site. Like have the listed theme, then after I make a site using it, show it completed for client next to it to show the exact work done. ....I don't know….. It's time to get creative though, because it's sink or swim time now! lol.
Thanks everyone, I really do value everyone's input.
I'm going the TF right now and looking for themes that I could potentially use for this. I figure about 10 or so should do the trick.
Again, thank you all for the clarity.
I thought it might be, but I figured, what the hell, I better ask to make sure.
Thank you guys so much. I wish Jeffery or any of the other Envato guys would step in here, but I'm sure they're going to say the same thing, as long as the author ok's it.
Thank you guys for understanding my request and responding so fast. I'm very appreciative.
@infuse01 Thanks for the advice. I'm just moved back to Louisiana, and people around here have no idea why they need a web site. I know that's where I come in. I would charge more but here's what I noticed my problem was. ...
Person: I need a website that shows off my work.
Me: I can do that.
Person: How much?
...Do some discovery...
Me: For something that size, $800
Person: Do you have anything you can show me?
.....This is the point where things fall part...
Me: Well, I'm still building up my portfolio, and I don't really have anything to show right now.
Person: ..........
I have went to school for web design & development. But I had to drop recently due to finical issues. So, I know my way around some code, and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty to make something work for someone.
I just figured that because no one knows who I am (I've been gone for over 10 years, so no contacts, no leads), and I have no portfolio, no one will want to pay me anything. So I dropped down to $300 for now until I can start getting some sites listed in my portfolio. Then it hit me! "I wonder if the TF guys would mind if I use a few images (or links) to promote myself?" This way, I can find costumers faster, and hopefully start charging more, and I would be buying far more TF files… so, I thought it was win/win. I'm sure there are other people doing this, but I've been around TF long enough to know, "Don't piss off the authors!" lol You guys are the freaking magic makers as far as I'm concerned.
But all jokes aside, I'll send you my personal info infuse01. Thanks guys. Anyone else, please feel free to chime in.
PixelBin said
Why not a link to the theme?
Actually, if I comb through TF and find a few nice themes that are fully fleshed and don't have the "Buy this theme" link on them, I wouldn't mind doing that if it's allowed. Like I said, I'm just trying not to step on anyone's toes here, and would like to make sure that I'm going about this the right way.
Because I don't want to miss out on possible clients to people that think they can do it themselves lol. I always tell people that I'm using themes, and they always raise their eyebrow. I feel like if I'm not there to hold their hand in explaining to them why using themes is a great choice, then they'll feel like they're getting ripped off. I'm currently charging $300 to "make" a site for someone. Minus the cost of the theme and minus the cost of my hosting… So, I'm only making around 200-240. I think that's more then fair for this. I'm not trying to rip anyone off. I'm just trying to get more work. I need something to hold me over for a little while until I can become an author here one day myself. But right now, every day is a struggle.
Hello Envato family. I just thought of something and I figured it would be best to ask here before taking any action.
I'm currently flipping wp sites in my local area for small/local businesses. I would like to know if I can take screen shots of peoples themes and put them in my portfolio. Only screen shots. This way if someone see's a portfolio site for example, and they want it, I could then come to TF, buy the theme from the author, and make it for the client and everyone wins.
I think this is a good idea, but I'm sure I'm not the first person that's thought of this. I do fully respect this community and wouldn't do something like this before I get the go ahead from authors in the community, and Envato themselves. Because it's only a screen shot, I figure, theres nothing to lose, and if anything it's a way to promote sales.
Any feedback about this would be great. Thank you all.
@jessengatai by the way… Nice theme for your first! Looks like a powerhouse for just getting started! Best of luck, and from the looks of it, it's only up from here!
Thanks for the friendly advice! These are things I will keep in mind. I really don't know enough about making a WP theme from scratch. I'm considering just starting off with making a site-templete using html/css since this is what I know. At least then I could get a feel on where I stand. I know I'm not the best by a long shot. I would be happy to be considered "fair" by the evanto team lol. I really do want to focus on growing into a WP theme developer, but I (feel like I) have such a long way to go! I would love to hear more stories about how people got started, and maybe some things you learned along the way. Especially people that don't have a heavy background in web before doing this. Currently I'm a student for web design and development, but I'm only about half way through my degree. It would be great to produce any decent item that helped my paid my way through school… but we'll see. Thanks again to anyone who takes the time to write back. Your experience is very valuable to all of us n00bs out here!
Hello everyone! I'm a new author here and I have a long way to go and I'm sure I have plenty of mistakes to make. I would like to start working on making my first wordpress theme. Any tips or suggestions? Any experience stories would be great too! Should I maybe start with just a simple HTML site templete and work my way into WP? Also, How long did it take you to make your first theme? I would love to hear some feedback from the community! Thanx n advance everyone!

We loved everything. Friendly staff very knowledgeable we were looking for a Catholic Church near area And they were able to tell us were it was.
The only thing it very hard to get to if you dont know your way a round. It also near a couple of nudity bars so if you have children you might want to choose a other Hampton inn in area
Paying 10 bucks a night for parking was rediculous.Bed was lumpy carpets were awful.Carpets in the hall were trip hazards . By far the worst Hampton we've been in .
The hall was remodeled, looks modern and neat, but the room itself is kind of old. But bedding are okay. Services are very good like other Hilton resort.
Location is kind of awkward, Wifi is slow, room is old.
staff did well
Under construction but understandable as it is needed.
9Am in the morning construction workers started drilling holes, hitting hammers & wood saws going off right next to my room. Ridiculous! We requested late check out for the same reason that we needed to sleep in & early in the morning we get a surprise wake up by extremely loud construction noise. Really dissapointed in the customer service. We where never given a warning & for reception to give us a room right next to a construction site was extremely unprofessional. After our complaint, reception seemed to be real calm about the situation as if he didn't really care. "it's not his problem, it's our problem". I've never had a bad experience like this at any hotel & I travel frequently for a living. Definetly the worst experience I've ever had in a hotel.
I realize economics work off supply and demand but a $300.00 premium for a $100 room. Im glad you got me once you will never get me again!
Friendly, clean , nice breakfast, helpful
Wifi , kicks you off to often
The king bed! So comfy. Too comfy.
The lights were a little dim- I had to turn multiple lights on.
Bed was quite comfy; Price reasonable
Pillows were too firm; Free WiFi did not work
Large balcony,wonderful breakfast, staff was very friendly.
The balcony needs a small end table. I had no place to set my coffee cup during the many hours I sat outside.
Good sized room with comfortable beds. Close to major attractions. Had the parking fee waived as we had a disabled parking pass.
Very poor soundproofing in ceiling and walls. Heard things I didn't want to hear, including showers and toilets. Breakfast very minimal.
I liked the room , closeness of restaurants and I like the breakfast in morning. I liked how close we were to airport.
Families with young kids and older kids, the places next to the hotel are sketchy.
The interior was lovely and modern. Beautiful. Room was really comfortable. Fresh baked cookies at the check in were awesome as well.
Hotel is in a quite area and it is near the highway.
Price is a little bit too high. Not worth of the money.
Facilities staff and breakfast were better than average
Advertised shuttle was not available for late flight. Since that was a selling point for which we CHOSE this hotel, it was a big disappointment. Paying for a shuttle-taxi for my family means next time I won't be staying here. We could spend our money on better facilities that includes a 24 hr shuttle!
The staff was great, Informative. Asked for the best Mexican restaurant in Old Towne. and immediately gave us a voucher for free appetizer. Check in and out was a breeze.
Leaving the Hotel it wasn't the best neighborhood. However felt very safe at the Hotel. You could tell they took extra precautions with their gates and parking to keep our vehicles safe. Paying extra for parking just will never sit well with me.
I think the staff was amazing cry helpful.
I hallways and rooms plus the parking entrance are so confusing especially Weybridge you have kids plus luggage and are beat from a long day.
Excellent Breakfast Comfortable Bed Best pillows ever
Close to Point Loma, easy access from Freeways, great value.

Comment: Re:Really? (Score 1) 145
I have grown really weary of this attitude that just because certain people are abusing the system, then the system itself is bad. That's a wrong-headed and dangerous approach to problem solving. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater, as the saying goes.
Which 'system' are you talking about? The patent system, or the larger military-industrial corporocratic political system which has undermined, perverted, and co-opted the patent system, (along with so many other things), in a manner which probably has its founders spinning in their graves?
Since many big corporations today have been shown to be corrupt, should we get rid of corporations?
That may be necessary in the short term as the only means to counter the massive power they have usurped. Yes, we need corporations - but they need to be society's servants, not its masters as they are now.
It's a people problem, not a system problem.
No, it's definitely a system problem - unless your definition of 'people' agrees with the law's definition, which extends personhood to corporations.
And the ultimate answer is: the patent system exists for YOUR benefit. And you DO benefit from it. We need to stop abuses of the patent system, not scrap it altogether.
The patent system no longer serves MY benefit - it primarily serves those who are already rich enough to defend their patents and to use them as weapons in patent wars which stifle innovation and waste tremendous amounts of resources with no net benefit for society. I agree that we need something like what the patent system used to be; however, trumpeting the cause of 'patent reform' is rather like crying out for a Band-Aid as a treatment for disembowelment. The brokenness of the patent system is a symptom of much larger problems, not a root cause. The real work needs to be done much higher in the pyramid - then things like a sane and functional patent system will follow naturally.

It seems like quite a few people on here have a lot of knowledge about the EOTechs so I want to throw this question out there and sry if it doesn't really go in line with the subject of this forum I'm still learning how the discussions on here work.
I was told this by someone at a local gun shop a while back and have never been able to confirm or deny what he told me. From what he said EOTech's entire holographic sight is based on the theory of a 17" triangle which would represent an average shoulder span, and that with this the EOTech is set up so that within a certain distance (can't recall what that distance is maybe 25/50 yards) if the lenses is on a target it will hit it? Has anyone else ever heard of this or can confirm that this is false?

OMG_Yeh, it did inspire me. its such a great cover, but I've just always wanted to see the crow free of its tangled predicament. Thanks for your input.
Interesting ... I looked up the cover and I love your interpretation. It feels better and has freedom ~ and beautiful design:)
I love this one, the subtlety of the background in contrast with the crow and the bright red string is really nice!
Thanks, I'm thinking of removing the string on the tail, it looks better with out it.

why does everyone believe this good girl age Selena's has since she was a toddler? I'm not saying she's a bad person or anything like that but there's no way someone is that good all the time. Everyone blames Justin for literally EVERYTHING about their relationship but i doubt it's always his fault. Why would Selena get back with him if it was? What does it say about Selena if she keeps getting back with him anyway? No one thinks about that because everyone so ready to only judge Justin and blame him, I feel for the kid. The amount of time they broke up and got back together he couldn't have anyway been the reason why. Selena's working this sweet girl act but You never know what's behind closed door..

Here we go again.
Another scratch,
Another panic attack,
Just when I thought I was done.
Well, ain't it fun,
To be a nervous wreck?
Only I'm a big kid now.
Too old
To be the resident
Drama queen.
Nobody cares
When you're not beautiful.
God, I sound emo.
And so maybe I am
(by definition, at least)
But I feel like a sham –
What am I to you?
Would you care
If I lived out my dark little fantasies?
Got swallowed by the dark seas,
Of my soul?
Would you care
If I went back to the blade
That you forbade
Me to seek solace in?
If you knew what went on in my head,
A million different ways
To make me dead,
Would you tell me to just
'Not feel down' anymore?
If I could stop feeling this way,
Believe me,
I would.
Stop thinking like this?
If only
I could.

Legendary danseur Nataraja Ramakrishna had dedicated his entire life to preserve and propagate Kuchipudi and left his legacy through Andhra Natyam.
The grand old sire of the kingdom of dance has called it a day. With him, the era of 'art for art's sake' comes to an end, just as the age of purified thought and deed came to an end with the demise of Bheeshma, as Lord Krishna says in the Mahabharata.
Nataraja Ramakrishna is no more. He has left behind a legacy called Andhra Natyam, a form of classical dance that existed within the precincts of temples ages ago and was culled out of the last legion of devadasis, retrieved, resuscitated and revived by this great doyen of dance. And at what cost? At the altar of his personal life he had lit the lamp of ' natya' and kept it burning till age extinguished it. His life has come to a full circle. In his own words, he had lived life on his own terms. For him, dance was not an obsession; it was contemplation; it was a personal choice that cost him his family as he led an estranged, solitary life. The candle burnt itself out giving light to several others- his pupils, his teachers and all those destitute who sought his shelter for solace. And he continued to live by dance, for dance alone. "There was never enough in the form of finances, so to say. Since, I chose to remain unmarried or rather married natyam, it was not a big issue in my case. My meagre wants ensured that I was left enough money on hand to feed and take care of all those I loved," he had confided some time ago.
A Spartan lifestyle, his only ambition was to place classical dance on the pedestal he had envisaged and propagate it to the younger generation who would carry the mantle after him. As years rolled by, the ethical generation into which Nataraja was born had given way to a commercial era where any performing art rose to the level of a commodity driven by market forces. Many of his age and ilk chose to flow with the current but not him. Research thrives only on rewards and recognition. To him, they were few and far too late. But his intensive research of ancient dance was based on practical experience transformed into a book of letters.
A romantic at heart, it was his dream to resurrect the glory of yesteryear art and culture by building a monument of the legendary singer-dancer duo of the erstwhile Qutb Shahi reign, Taramati-Premavathi. He had weaved a historical fiction in the form of a book on these two artistes. Finally, a few years ago, his dream was realised in what we now call the Taramati Baradari. He said then, that he felt as if he won an invaluable trophy.
His extended family were his pupils, the foremost being Kalakrishna, a dancer of repute in our state. Says Krishna (that's how Nataraja Ramakrishna referred to his 'adopted' son), "I spent 38 years with him, as his disciple. I had come to Hyderabad from my hometown Karimnagar as a school teacher. I came under his tutelage with my penchant to learn dance. And there was no looking back. He taught me with utmost dedication and on seeing my first performance in a female impersonification as Satyabhama, he decided that I should concentrate on dance and leave everything else. I promptly left my future in his hands. And from then on he charted the course of my life. He was a task master as a guru; while I had my food he would be my mother and in taking care of my needs and guidance, he donned the role of my father. He was so many persons rolled into one. He never liked me or any of his pupils to travelby bus or rickshaw. It was demeaning to an artiste, he would say and ask us to travel by autorickshaw for which he would pay. I lived with him till I got married after which, he lived with me," a tinge of sadness creeps in.
Nataraja Ramakrishna had antagonised his parents and relatives and faced their wrath by not just choosing a vocation that was not "respectable for a man" in his times, but by visiting the houses of dancing devadasis (temple dancers), he learnt the nuances of abhinaya (expression) and adavu patterns (footwork) from them in a sort of gurukul system. He had expressed his deep regard for the scholarship of these devadasis during many an interview. "They were adept in Panchamaha kavyas. They were dance, song and poetry literate plus highly evolved souls whose purity surpassed the norms of socio-moral order," he would declare. He practised what he preached. He took care of some of these devadasis like Saride Manikyamma in their old age, by giving them shelter under his roof. The man was pure, the purpose of his life purer and what he betrothed to his innumerable pupils was the purest form of art. Men like him are rare today. His soul lives in his art and is carried forward by his disciples.
