Got a break in the football action and hopped on here to post about my first attempt and a barley wine. I am by no means a seasoned home brewer, but I have been going at it for at 3 years (between deployments). I used some flaked oats and flaked barley in my first ever barley wine and used the ingredients incorrectly. I didn't know that I should cook them to get the best conversion possible. So after the boil I ended up about at 1.068 when I was expecting 1.100. I cooled and pitched planning to just treat the beer as a run of the mill ale.
Here's where it gets a little hairy. After a few too many home brews about 3 days into the primary, I got the wild idea to dump just over 3 pounds of LDME right into the fermented beer! It took off and bubbled for about 36 hours and finished right where I had originally expected 1.025.
How likely is it that I am going to end up having to dump this batch? I'm planning on racking it to the secondary in a few days and then kegging it in a few weeks. I'll be leaving it in the keezer for the entirety of my upcoming Afghanistan deployment.
Is there anything I should do before leaving this beer for so long? I plan on filling the keg with CO2 to help eliminate O2. I'm more than a little nervous about an infection to be honest. Sorry for the long read, but thank you for check it out!
I'm gonna bet that you don't have much to worry about with an infection. Its possible that the LME was contaminated, but I would think the high sugar content would kill about anything that would want to ruin your beer if the high alcohol from the fermenter itself didn't. More than likely I'd say you are good to go from that point!
One thing I would do though is make sure you check your gravity a couple of times before moving it over to secondary. I'd be worried that the LME settled to the bottom of the fermenter where it isn't getting fermented well. You might also be able to see if there's a band of LME along with the trub at the bottom. When you transfer to secondary, I'd make sure you transfer a good amount of yeast (or consider pitching more) in case you need to do a secondary fermentation on any non-dissolved LME.
As far as the keg goes, you're right on target there. All I generally do if I'm gonna store a keg is to hit it with CO2 and pull the release valve a few times to get all of the O2 out of the keg, then hit it with CO2 again to seal it well and let it sit. Might want to consider leaving the keg at room temp to let it age a little longer (and potentially ferment out a little further if the FG is still a little high). So long as its kegged up tight no problem leaving it at a decent temp (65-70) for a while. Should age a little quicker at room temp, although you will have to wait a little longer to carb it up when you get back.
And oh yeah, thanks for your service!
I just fired up a keg of wheat beer that we kegged almost exactly a year ago. And it was perfect.
Be safe in-country, and thank you.

Thanks. I'll stay low. I'll get in there tomorrow with the spoon and really stir it up good again. You may be right about the DME settling to the bottom and not really fermenting all the way. I am hoping for this beer to break the 11% mark. I have kept pretty good measurements so even with the screw ups I think I should make my mark and may have exceded it to the tune of about 11.5%! I really wanted to make something I could share with the rest of the Devil Dogs I deploy with this time. It should be my last go 'round. Something about it is just a little sentimental I guess. I appreciate the help. I'll let you know tomorrow how things are really going.
Hey all! Sorry I'm reviving a long dead post, but I just got back from Afghanistan and wanted to give an update on this barley wine. It has been in the freezer for 7 months at about 48F so I figure it is probably plenty well aged. After adding the late DME and all the rushing around I did trying to get this beer done before deployment, I was sure that it was going to be one for the drain. Turns out I was completely wrong. (This will go down in history as the moment when I realized how resilient beer actually is.) So here go the tasting notes from the first pint...
The beer is extremely clear. This is probably the most clear beer I have ever produced. It has a deep red hue with a creamy, rocky head. The smell is of caramel and bananas, maybe a hint of clove. (my nose is a little on the weak side) First swig has a surprising amount of hop bitterness that carries through the whole swallow. Dark, mildly sweet caramel in the middle and warm alcohol at the end. Second sip, carbonation dances nicely, very full mouth feel, smooth texture, dark roast flavor at the end. Deposits a warm bourbon flavor in the back of the throat. As I keep drinking, the alcohol taste lingers. (I did my best to calculate the additional DME and I'm guess that it finished somewhere between 11% and 12% so I'm not surprised that it tastes of alcohol.) Very clean finish. The end of the class leaves the mouth with the same sort of feeling as a whiskey or bourbon.
I'm very excited about how this one turned out. I filled a few swing tops when I put it in the keg and I will most definitely be saving them for a little longer to see how they develop as time goes on. If anyone has any questions let me know! Thanks!!!
Glad you're no longer in-country and made it home safely. Your description leaves me a bit jealous! And though I know beer is real resilient, I've never been able to let one age as long as yours!
Edit: In re-reading my earlier post, I guess I *have* aged 1 a while. Oh well. All's well that tastes well...
Thanks! I'm pretty happy to be home. I can't wait to get a brew going. I've got all the ingredients I just haven't found time. I think maybe this weekend. I'm making a cream ale first. It'll be hot soon in SoCal and I'd like to have a nice "lawn mower" beer.
Thank you, and glad that you're back safely. Enjoy your home brew
Took a picture today to show off the color and clarity. The glass got a little foggy on me while I was taking the picture, but I still think you can tell how clear it is. Ignore the dirty windows! My wife would be upset if she knew I posted dirty window pictures for the world to see!!! Hahaha!!!
Beautiful! Makes my mouth water. Well done.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
You will have to see this peaceful beautiful home to believe what good fortune may come your way! A spectacular 180 degree view overlooks the Kona coast from a lovely lanai, Kona Le'a Guest House is located in the quiet rural hills above Kailua-Kona, just minutes away from the ocean. Beautiful Hawaiiana decor sets a relax-and-enjoy mood. Set back far from the road on five acres of tropical greenery, chocolate and fruit trees--you will enjoy strolling around the property, picking fruit, taking pictures of flowers. Three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Perfect for couples traveling together or alone and ideal for families. Gourmet kitchen fully stocked for all your cooking needs. Office, lanai and dining room with a great view. Piano room. Everything you need (WiFi, Cable TV, IPOD connected stereo system, pantry with washer and dryer) and more is here for your stay. You will find it to be the perfect temperature at this elevation in the hills above Kona.
Des and Lisen were both born in Hawaii, Des' family first having arrived in the early 1800's. We have a coffee farm, Holualoa Kona Coffee Company, about a half a mile from this property where we grow, mill and roast coffee for many farmers in the Kona area. Free tours of our organic farm are offered. Des is a farmer at heart and also enjoys growing chocolate, breadfruit and tropical fruits which you will see surrounding Kona Le'a Guest House as well. In our free time we enjoy ocean swimming, stand up paddle boarding, surfing and hiking. We live in the center of the island in the small town of Waimea where our children go to school.
Lisen purchased this house in 1998
We love the privacy of living in the rural hills above all the action of Kona--but also enjoy being close to it. It's a perfect spot between two worlds. This elevation has a delightful temperature--never too hot or cold, just right. This home has a special feel to it--a feeling of old Hawaii with all the comforts you enjoy.
Huge old trees surrounding the house give a feeling of being in a tree house--tucked away in a tropical wonderland of flowers and fruit trees. A great feeling of privacy with a grand view of the Kona coast.
What an amazing home and property!! Absolutely one of the most comfortable and enjoyable homes I have ever stayed in. Thank you sooo...... much!
We just returned from eight very relaxing days at this beautiful home in a spectacular setting with sweeping ocean views. The kitchen is huge and well equipped and opens onto the lanai. The bedrooms are spacious with views from every window and the beds are very comfortable. The master has a walk-in closet and huge bathroom with a soaking tub and large shower. The decor throughout the home is lovely and feels very authentically Hawaiian. My husband and I enjoyed the home so much that we ended up eating most of our meals in instead of going out. We started our days with organic kona coffee from the owner's plantation and ended with fresh fruits and vegetables (some harvested on the property) and some from local farmers markets. The neighborhood that surrounds the property is peaceful and is filled with some very unique plant specimens. Overall, we enjoyed our stay so much that it was hard leaving and we are already planning a trip back!
We're just back from our second stay at what we call the Kona big house. We obviously wouldn't have booked it again if we hadn't been totally satisfied with our first visit. Once again, we felt so lucky to have found this place. So we would just reiterate what we said in our first review: "It is a very spacious, clean, comfortable, well-equipped house, with a huge lanai (plus a smaller one). The views down to Kona-K. and the coast are spectacular, and we enjoyed walking around the sprawling gardens with various fruit trees (grapefruit, orange, tangerine, banana, papaya, and more). A great place to watch birds, too. We thought the location up on the slopes was wonderful, and the easy (10 minutes) access to the beach parks at the south end of Ali drive is a real plus. It is also a good launching place for trips to Kealakekua (home of Annie's Burgers and other treats), Captain Cook and other points south." Special thanks to Cindy for all her help, local knowledge, and advice, and to Lisen and Des for making their place available.
We were fortunate to spend 5 weeks this beautiful house. It's well laid out with a fantastic kitchen and has incredible views of the ocean from the lanai. We had another couple visiting for about 2 weeks of our stay and there was plenty of room for everyone. The huge orchards offer a lot of privacy and we spent many happy mornings wandering through the orchards with our young children. The owners of the house were great. They included lots of suggestions for places to explore in a binder in the house and when we contacted them with a few questions, they gave us even more ideas, including good beaches to take younger kids. The location is central much that the Big Island has to offer - Kalekekua Bay, great beaches, Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea Observatory. If we had the opportunity to stay in this amazing place, we would jump at it. We made many happy memories during our stay.
We were absolutely delighted with our 5-week stay at this house. It's in a fabulous retreat from all things tourist, has great views, beautiful grounds (including a huge diversity of tropical fruits that we enjoyed picking), and everything we needed for a terrific vacation. The kitchen is huge, the master suite terrific, and being on the lanai in the early morning was absolutely relaxing. The house is ideally set up for a family with kids, less so for multiple families traveling together. Only thing about the house that I would have changed was to install ceiling fans (there were none) as there's not too much breeze on the hillside. (or perhaps that is just the case in the summer?) At night it's pleasantly cooler up at the higher elevation. All in all, a very lovely stay and I was so delighted to make this house our Kona home.
Our family of 6 spent four wonderful nights in this large and gorgeous house. The ocean view from the spectacular covered deck is much, much better than we expected from the pictures. The home felt like a real home with nice decorative touches all over, and we loved the orchard on the property. We tasted lychee for the first time, had perfect grapefruit, and sampled the mango and other items. Even though the house sits on 5 acres and at 1000 feet elevation, it was still an easy 10 minute drive to civilization and anything you would want. I would recommend this house for everyone, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention one issue. The roosters in the area crow from 2:00 am on. It seemed like a bigger deal the first night for those of us used to the silence of an air-conditioned home. We laughed about it and slept better the last three nights, but the roosters start early in Hawaii. We'd rent this home again in a minute. It was the best of the three homes we rented in Hawaii and one of the best we have ever rented using VRBO.
Two grandparents, two parents, and two grandkids (total age range 1-65) loved this house for a few days in April. I would recommend it and hope to return. Some of my best memories of our vacation will be because of this house - an amazing lanai with a massive asian bed where our 1 year old was safe to crawl, a play house for our five year old, breakfasts on the lanai watching cruise ships or the night snorkeling, secret paths through the fruit trees, watching the lunar eclipse, and as I told Lisen the joy of trying to knock mangoes out of the tree in front. Loved Holualoa itself, the Holuakoa cafe was our farewell dinner and we loved touring the Holualoa Coffee Co. roastery.
No sign of Mssr. rooster.
This was my third time visiting the Kona side and I couldn't recommend a place more. The generosity of the owners to trust visitors with such a beautiful house, filled with such history and Hawaiiana, is inspiring.
Just south of the small artist town of Holualoa, perched on the mountain above Kailua-Kona is a perfect place to enjoy Hawaii at its best. You've got the ideal temperature here where you can quickly escape the heat and crowds of Kailua-Kona. The lovely town of Holualoa is just a little over a mile away for you to wander through and get a feel for this creative artist community. Here some of the finest coffee in the world is grown. Mamalahoa Highway is a historic scenic drive that winds you through Kona coffee farms and tropical plantings. Kailua-Kona and Keauhou are so close (10 minutes!) for all your beaches, groceries, dining and entertainment.

Good morning. I'm David Greene. Chris Todd is about to prove that a human can walk on water - sort of. The British man plans to cross the Irish Sea in something resembling a human hamster wheel. He walks, the wheel spins, and that powers his homemade vehicle. He's covering 66 miles in two days to raise money for charity. To hydrate, he expects to down 30 liters of water. To celebrate, well, if all goes well, he'll be in Ireland. He says he's looking forward to a cold pint of Guinness. It's MORNING EDITION.

Mattress Wedge Reviews
About Mattress Wedge
Mattress Wedge claims to be an award-winning patented foam device that will close the open space beneath the headboard that often eats pillows in the middle of the night and covers them in dust. They claim it will also stop toys or other small items from meeting a similar fate and promote a good night's sleep. Mattress Wedge also comes with side-pockets for small-item storage such as a TV remote.
BuyMattressWedge.com was recently registered in July 2013 and there is no information about the company behind it. As such, there is no BBB information or accreditation available.
How Mattress Wedge Works
The Mattress Wedge is a long piece of what they call "high-density comfort foam" that comes in different sizes: Twin, Full/Queen, and King/California King. Each has a flat bottom and triangular top. Place the Mattress Wedge triangle-side down into the space between mattress and headboard, which they say will cover that open gap and prevent pillows, toys, or any other loose, small item from falling in. (They suggest you can also use Mattress Wedge to close the seam between twin mattresses in a similar fashion.) In addition, they say the foam will stay cool in summer and warm in winter, helping you sleep more comfortably. It is said to be light and sturdy and comes with machine-washable cover and two removable side pockets for handy nighttime storage.
Each Mattress Wedge order comes with:
- Mattress Wedges (size of your choice)
- 2 pillow cases
- 4 storage pockets
Mattress Wedge Pricing, Shipping, and Returns
Mattress Wedge can be purchased for $19.95 (Twin), $29.95 (Full/Queen) or $39.95 (King/California King) plus $9.95 shipping & handling. In addition, when you purchase, you are getting a "free" Mattress Wedge for an (automatically) added cost of $9.95. Essentially, you are paying $19.90 in S & H in addition to the price of the initial unit.
They promise to ship Mattress Wedge to you within 30 days. Once you receive it, you have 30 days to return if you don't like it, minus the $19.90 in shipping (and what it cost you to send back.)
Bottom Line: Should You Buy Mattress Wedge?
It sure can be annoying to lose a pillow to that "gap" in the middle of the night; the same goes for straining and reaching for a rubber ball or doll that fell in and is now covered in dust or dog hair. (Thankfully, this problem has mostly been solved in contemporary children's bed set designs.)
Even if you do have a gaping older bed frame, the charge of almost $20 in shipping fees for 2 pieces of foam is ridiculous. We think you should wait until Mattress Wedge is available at more reputable shops like Amazon or Wal-Mart. You'll pay less for shipping and have a hassle-free return - and that in-and-of itself will give you a better night's sleep.

Zipper Broke after first washing it for the first time.
I purchased this product (King-size mattress wedge AS Seen On TV) through Heartland America. I had only used product for three days and decided to wash the cover. I followed instructions and the zipper came off in the washer while being washed for the first time! Now there's no way to close the protective cover unless I want to rig some kind of Velcro closures.
I contacted maker through their website and asked for a new cover ONLY. They advised I would have to send the entire mattress wedge and cover back for a refund (I pay postage). They won't just send me a new cover, which is all I need. Heartland's Return Policy is the same. I would have to send the entire product back for a refund, minus the postage which I will have to pay up-front! The Mattress Wedge was made in China so that's no surprise!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

More than frustrated.
I ordered the Mattress Wedge on a Sunday online. I ordered one queen size with a free one, and paid only $9.95 in shipping charges. I put my card info in and went to the next screen. I was offered to order additional wedges. The thing is, I didn't want additional wedges and the page forced me to purchase additional wedges before I could move onto the next screen. Needless to say, I was billed $112.18 and will end up with four wedges, when I only needed one. The whole next day, I tried to get customer service on the phone. I only heard automated voices and no real person ever answered. The bottom line is that unless you just want to be screwed out of your money, don't buy from this company. Shame on them for taking advantage of the hard working Americans!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It is a scam.
I tried to order only one and the menu voice (you don't talk to a person) wouldn't let me. Customer service later said that the commercial clearly stated that you would be buying two "for the price of one." I tried immediately, after reading reviews, to cancel and was told by customer service that it was too early to cancel - it wouldn't be available for a couple hours and this was a Friday, early evening. He said call tomorrow morning. Of course, they were closed Saturday. I called first thing Monday morning and they said it had already been shipped. My costs were $59.95 for two wedges and two "shipping and processing." I don't like the product, but mostly I don't like that I was cheated in the way that I was. I can't find the address for the Better Business Bureau or I would report it too.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Poor Customer Service
To be fair here, I made a mistake on a Sunday and ordered the wrong size. I called all customer service numbers I could find and they tell you to call back between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday EST. I called 2 minutes after they opened on Monday morning and was told by Karen that there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING she could do to help me. I actually needed a larger size and would have spent more money. I will return this product unopened and will NOT reorder. I am so disappointed, but I guess it was an expensive learning lesson. Please save yourself the trouble of wasting your time with this company. I see now that I am not the only one here that thinks their customer service is actually not "customer service".
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Can someone review the actual product? Looks like it is sold in local stores.
Thank you for the warning on the direct purchase.

Stay Away! Fraudulent business practices.
I had an experience that is identical to those described above. There was no option to see the final cost until it was too late. The cost should have been $59.85, yet I was charged $119.17.
I immediately tried to get a resolution but was told that customer service was only available between 8am and 8pm.
When I called the next morning, I was told the order had already been shipped (less than 12 hrs had passed!). I searched long and hard to find a customer service number. 888-811-2033.
I'm in the process of reporting them to States' Attorneys, Better Business Bureaus, FTC and anyone else I can think of. They should be stopped!

Just ordered this product via "Harriett Carter" website/catalog. It allowed me to order just 1 king wedge and there is a money-back guarauntee. Will let you know how this goes.

Don't order from this company
This company is a scam, in my opinion. Even if I like the product, do not order from them directly. I placed one order and they sent and charged me for two. That is buy one, get one free... so I got four! Their system duplicated my order and they want me to pay for return shipping AND the original shipping. They charged me $59 and will only refund $39.

Misleading web site, credit card order taken before price screen comes on.
Went to the web site and decided to buy. After entering the card information, eventually got to the price site. Surprise, there is no single item order option. The extra item and processing fee is added automatically. I decided not to buy the item, but that wasn't the end. Shortly after that I got an email confirmation of my order! I tried to call and cancel, but my order was "not in their system." I was told that it could take 4 hours for the system to have the information. So, after 4 hours I called back to cancel. Sorry, the order may not show up for 24 hours, 4 hours is the minimum.
I will try to call again, but I expect the order won't show up until after the item has shipped and the card has been charged. Do not enter any information on this web site. You can get the same item at several online places, such as harriet carter and amazon.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Scam ordering process
I can attest to everything said so far about the ordering process. I have not received the pillows yet. I hope they are worth the extra $20 shipping and handling fee they sneak in.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I can only repeat what everyone else is saying. Misleading going in and they process your order before allowing a review and you find that you have "ordered" more than you thought! Called customer service first ting the next AM - "It has already shipped, and we can't change it". Baloney! I can "refuse delivery" they say - but then, of course, they will not refund the S&H portion of my bill. And I will probably have to pay to return it/them! I am already talking to my credit card company about them, and have a letter to our attorney general's office ready to go out tomorrow.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Horrible product Even WORSE Customer Service
Do not order this product. The order will not allow you to order just one. They advertise 2 for 1 but do not make it clear that it is impossible to order just one. Ordering from their website is scammy at best. They don't ever tell you the total sale amount until after the order is processed. When you call (I tried 4 different times) to cancel or modify the order, they simply tell you that they can't because it isn't in their system yet, call back in the morning or something similar. When you call back, they claim that they've already shipped it and it can't be modified. I've come to find out that they hadn't already shipped it.
They advertise this as $39.95 for one and get a second for free just pay 9.95 s/h... somehow the bill came to $132 as they said I ordered two sets. I did NOT do that! Stay as far as you can from this product. There are better products out there from more reputable manufacturers.

NEW YORK, February 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Today, National Traders Association announced new research reports highlighting Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIS), Avon Products, Inc. (NSE: AVP), Elizabeth Arden , Inc. (NASDAQ: RDEN), Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) and Ameristar Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASCA). Today's readers may access these reports free of charge - including full price targets, industry analysis and analyst ratings - via the links below.
Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Research Report
Isis is the co-developer of Juxtapid's only competitor Kynamro, which costs less at $176,000 a year. The pill was co-developed by pharmaceutical giant Sanofi, and will be marketing it as soon as possible.
However, the pill wasn't well received by both the FDA and the European Medicines Agency, though it was approved at a 9-6 vote. The EU agency cited cancer risks from the drug. Nevertheless, the drug is expected to sell as much as $400 million, with Isis getting 30 to 50 percent of the profits, depending on the total sales of the drug. Tests conducted by the FDA showed that Juxtapid had lowered bad cholesterol by about half during 26 weeks of study in patients who tolerated the drug, while Kynamro reduced bad cholesterol levels by an average of 25% during the first 26 weeks of treatment.

I've come across major problems in 1v2 against a good denier coupled w/ a stunner. I usually play mordekaiser and kassadin with morde being the more common one I choose to 1v2. I can usually handle this stun/denier combo as kass just fine, but as morde I they usually stunt my leveling to the point of being 1 or no levels ahead of them. Are there any tips or guides out there that can help me?
I would personally switch lanes with the other 2v2 lane
especially if it's a Taric or something
This is a video guide created by Hyfe for his "famous" Nasus guide. Although its specific to Nasus, I think it gives alot of good insight into 1v2ing. Enjoy.

CD133 expression and identification of CD133/nestin positive cells in rhabdomyosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines.
ABSTRACT Background: Co-expression of CD133, cell surface glycoprotein, and nestin, an intermediate filament protein, was determined to be a marker of neural stem cells and of cancer stem cells in neurogenic tumors. Methods: We examined the expression of CD133 and nestin in ten tumor tissue samples taken from patients with rhabdomyosarcomas and in five rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to examine FFPE tumor tissue samples. Cell lines were analyzed by immunofluorescence, immunoblotting, flow cytometry, and RT-PCR. Functional assays (clonogenic in vitro assay and tumorigenic in vivo assay) were also performed using these cell lines. Results: CD133 and nestin were detected in all 10 tumor tissue samples and in all 5 cell lines; however, the frequency of CD133+, Nes+, and CD133+ /Nes + cells, as well as the intensity of fluorescence varied in individual samples or cell lines. The expression of CD133 and nestin was subsequently confirmed in all cell lines by immunoblotting. Furthermore, we observed an increasing expression of CD133 in relation to the cultivation. All cell lines were positive for Oct3/4 and nucleostemin; NSTS-11 cells were also able to form xenograft tumors in mice. Conclusion: Our results represent the first evidence of CD133 expression in rhabdomyosarcoma tissue and in rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. In addition, the co-expression of CD133 and nestin as well as results of the functional assays suggest a possible presence of cancer cells with a stem-like phenotype in these tumors.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge on nestin expression in human tumors and corresponding tumor cell lines. Nestin belongs to class VI of the intermediate filaments and it is expressed primarily in mammalian nervous tissue during embryonic development. In adults, nestin occurs only in a small subset of cells and tissues. This protein has been observed in the subventricular zone of the adult mammalian brain, where neurogenesis is localized. Nestin expression has also been detected in various types of human solid tumors, as well as in the corresponding established cell lines. This article provides an up-to-date overview of tumors in which nestin has been found. Another aim of this review is to summarize recent findings on the intracellular localization of nestin in human tumor cells, especially with regard to the possible correlation between nestin expression and the malignant phenotype of transformed cells. Nestin expression in vascular endothelial cells during angiogenesis is also reviewed. Special attention is paid to the detection of nestin in cancer stem cells because this protein, together with the CD133 surface molecule, is considered to be a possible marker of cancer stem cells, especially in tumors of neuroectodermal origin.Neoplasma 01/2010; 57(4):291-8.

And people go on coming because they hear from others: "There is nothing like primal therapy. If you have not experienced primal therapy, your coming into existence is useless. You are here to do screaming."
The question is that Janov says man accumulates negativity, and that negativity is a chemical phenomenon. It is out of man's pain, misery, that certain chemicals start gathering in him which create the negative mind, which wants to destroy.
The miserable person always wants others to be miserable. The miserable person feels happy only when he sees somebody more miserable than himself. The miserable person becomes incapable of saying yes - to life, to love, to beauty, to poetry, to existence. He can only say no, he cannot say yes. Yes is impossible because in his life he has not felt anything for which he should be grateful.
Janov is saying that because it is a chemical reaction, the no.. The questioner is asking: if this is the situation, that the no inside us, the destructiveness is a chemical thing, then how can you expect sannyasins to say yes to existence, to love, to joy? It is something significant to understand.
I accept the idea that misery, pain, anxiety, anguish, create certain chemical changes in your body. Just as love, joy, blissfulness, ecstasy, silence, peace - they also create tremendously great chemical, physiological changes in your body and mind.
The question will be difficult for Janov to solve, because these therapists do not believe that there is anything beyond mind, that there is anything more than the body. You are confined in a prison of physiology, chemistry, biology and you cannot be free from them just by meditating.
But neither Janov nor the questioner understand that meditation is not an effort that your chemistry which is ready to say no, should say yes.
Meditation simply ignores mind. It bypasses mind; it reaches beyond mind, and once it is beyond mind it has a far superior power.
And in that space beyond mind, pain has never entered.
Bliss is simply the very atmosphere beyond the mind. Once a person has touched something beyond, he has a new power. He can say yes, although his body chemistry is saying no. The body is a servant. Just wake up your master, and the body is a servant, the mind is a servant. And once the master is there.and the master is never negative, that is beyond its nature.
It is intrinsic to your being to be creative.
You are coming from the universal creativity, you are born out of it.
You are part of it, you are still connected with it. You cannot live a single second without the connection.
Yes can be said, and the mind with all its chemistry will remain silent. Before the master, it has no power. All that power was derived from the master. But the master was asleep; now the master is awake and is not ready to give anything to destructiveness, to death.

Cubs Phenom Kris Bryant and Theo Epstein at Odds Over Major League Call-Up
Brian D. Kersey(MESA, Ariz.) -- Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant has arguably been the best player in the Major Leagues during spring training. Despite the dominance he's shown at the plate, he's still expected to start the season in the minors.
Bryant is leading all Major League players this season with nine home runs while also hitting .406 and has 15 RBIs.
"I look at it as 'Why not me?' " Bryant said Friday morning. "I think I'm the type of guy that can go out there and do it. I've made it a point of mine to come out here and show them that I can."
This has not come at of nowhere as Bryant is regarded as one of the best minor league prospects in all of baseball. Which could be why the team could ultimately decide to keep him in the minors, for now.
If Bryant makes the Cubs' Opening Day roster, he'll be a free agent after the 2020 season. If the Cubs keep him in the minors till at least mid-April, he won't be eligible for free agency till after the 2021 season.
"I've never put a guy on an Opening Day roster who hadn't played in the big leagues previously. In 13 years, I've never done it," Epstein told ESPN. "I'm not saying I'd never do it, but the general rule, the presumption, is to allow those guys to go out, play, get comfortable, get in rhythm, and come up when you handpick just the right moment for them to have success."
In AA and AAA combined in 2014, Bryant hit .325 with 43 home runs and 110 RBIs.

Hall of Famer Ernie "Mr. Cub" Banks Dies at 83
Chicago Cubs/MLB(NEW YORK) -- Ernie "Mr. Cub" Banks died on Friday night, just days before his 84th birthday, the Cubs confirmed.
Banks was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1977 after 19 seasons playing in Wrigley Field.
"Words cannot express how important Ernie Banks will always be to the Chicago Cubs, the city of Chicago and Major League Baseball. He was one of the greatest players of all time," Tom Ricketts, chairman of the Cubs, said in a statement released by the team. "He was a pioneer in the major leagues. And more importantly, he was the warmest and most sincere person I've ever known.
"Approachable, ever optimistic and kind hearted, Ernie Banks is and always will be Mr. Cub. My family and I grieve the loss of such a great and good-hearted man, but we look forward to celebrating Ernie's life in the days ahead."
Banks made his debut for the Cubs in 1953, as the team's first black player, and hit 512 homers, had 1,636 RBI's, with 2,583 hits during his 19-year run with the club.
Banks ranks first in games played (2,528), at-bats (9,421), extra-base hits (1,009) and total bases (4,706); second in home runs (512), RBI (1,636) and hits (2,583); third in doubles (407); fifth in runs scored (1,305); seventh in triples (90); and eighth in walks (763).
Banks was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2013.

Cubs' Jon Lester Against Newly-Proposed Pitch Clock
Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images(CHICAGO) -- With Major League Baseball experimenting with a pitch clock for pitchers, Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester thinks its a terrible idea.
"If you [use a pitch clock] you take the beauty out of the game," he said Friday night at the Cubs' fans convention. "There's such a cat-and-mouse game as far as messing up hitters' timing, messing up pitchers' timing."
"Different things that fans and people that have never played this game don't understand. I feel like if you do add a clock it just takes all the beauty away from the game. I think you're going down a path you don't want to go down," he continued.
Major League Baseball will try implementing pitch clocks at the Double-A and Triple-A this season in an effort to speed up the game.
After it was already tested in the Arizona Fall League, it could be coming to the Major League level in the upcoming years.
The penalty for exceeding 20 seconds was a ball added to the hitter's count. Games were shortened by about 10 minutes.
In 2014, the average game lasted 3 hours, 8 minutes.

Cubs Acquire Outfielder Dexter Fowler from the Astros
Brian D. Kersey/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The Chicago Cubs continue to load up this offseason as they've acquired outfielder Dexter Fowler from the Houston Astros.
In exchange for Fowler, the Cubs sent Houston second baseman Luis Valbuena and reliever Dan Straily.
Fowler, who is set to be a free agent following the 2015 season, brings a veteran presence at the top of the Cubs' lineup.
"Our biggest needs were left-handed hitters and guys that get on base. Fowler fits that role for us," Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. "He controls the strike zone really well. It gives us much needed depth in center field and in the outfield. We felt we were a little unbalanced in our depth in the outfield as opposed to the infield."
"Hopefully we get a much more grinding offense going forward," he added.
In 116 games for Houston this past season, Fowler hit .276 with eight home runs, 35 RBIs, and 61 runs scored.

Mariners Acquire OF Ruggiano From Cubs
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images(SEATTLE) -- The Seattle Mariners acquired outfielder Justin Ruggiano from the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday for minor league pitcher Matt Brazis.
In 81 games last season with the Cubs, Ruggiano batted .281 with six home runs and 28 RBIs. He also scored 29 runs and had an OBP of .337.
Ruggiano's best season came in 2012 for the Miami Marlins, when he hit .313 with 13 homers and 36 RBIs. The six-year veteran also swiped 15 bases and had an OBP of .374.
Brazis was selected out of Boston College in the 28th round of the 2012 MLB draft. The right-handed reliever is 8-6 with a 2.89 ERA across three minor league seasons.

Cubs Sign Reliever Jason Motte to a One-Year Deal
Eliot J. Schechter/MLB Photos via Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The Chicago Cubs whirlwind offseason continued as they've brought aboard reliever Jason Motte.
ESPN reports Motte has agreed on a one-year deal with the club for $4.5 million.
The 32-year-old Motte had spent his entire six-year career with the St. Louis Cardinals. He served as the team's closer in 2011 when the team won the World Series, and also saved 42 games in 2012.
Unfortunately, Motte dealt with elbow issues prior to the 2013 season and wound up missing the entire season after needing to undergo Tommy John Surgery.
Motte struggled to regain his old form this past season with the Cardinals. In 29 appearances this season, he went 1-0 with a 4.68 ERA, which was his highest mark since his first full season in the majors back in 2009.
The Cubs have reshaped their franchise this offseason so far. Along with Motte, the team also signed starting pitcher Jon Lester and hired Joe Maddon as their new manager.

Lester Defends Self Against Red Sox Fans Criticisms
Robert Rogers/MLB Photos via Getty Images(CHICAGO, Ill) -- Jon Lester officially signed with the Chicago Cubs Saturday, for six-years, $155 million.
In doing so, he chose not to re-join his former team, the Boston Red Sox; a fact that did not sit well with many of the Fenway Faithful.
Some fans took to Twitter to voice their displeasure at the perception that Lester only followed the money.
One fan named Peter wrote, "Does money change a man's mind about family? If so, don't call us family. Have respect for you but money was your #1 priority."
This did not sit well with Lester who took the time to respond with, "It does not, and I'm sorry you feel that way Peter but that couldn't be further from the truth," Lester replied.
Some fans made things a little more personal as another accused, "Red Sox org. and Red Sox Nation supported you unconditionally while you battled cancer, not the Cubs. Your values are messed up."
Lester defended his decision and took the high road.
"I know they did, and I love them for it. Sorry you feel that way but I'd like to think my values are some of my best qualities," Lester said.

Report: Cubs Sign Jon Lester
Robert Rogers/MLB Photos via Getty Images(SAN DIEGO, Ca) -- The biggest pitching prize in baseball signed with the Chicago Cubs, Wednesday.
According to FoxSports.com and ESPN, Jon Lester has agreed to a 6 year, $155 million contract as part of a new look, new attitude club that hasn't won a World Series in over 100 years.
Lester joins new Chicago manager Joe Maddon, who recently came over from the Tampa Bay Rays, in what many are expecting to be an aggressive push towards contending in 2015.
The Cubs have also recently signed starting pitcher Jason Hammel, as well as catcher Miguel Montero.
"We have a nice ball club," Maddon said. "The pitching staff needed to be solidified, Jason Hammel helped do that. Now all of a sudden you get Jon Lester in there, beyond his pitching ability, what it does within the clubhouse among the other guys, when you talk about playoffs and World Series', it becomes more believable."
While the big name, high-priced acquisitions are capturing the headlines, the Cubs future is dependent upon the young talent the team has been developing. The list of players soon to join The Show include infielder Addison Russell, who the team acquired from the A's last season in the Jeff Samardzija deal, slugger Javier Baez, third basemen Kris Bryant and outfielder Jorge Soler.
"Primarily, I think every young Cub, sitting wherever they are sitting tonight, has a stronger believability in what we are doing next year," said Maddon to ESPN after the announcement of the Lester signing.

Chicago Cubs Acquire Montero from Diamondbacks
Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images(SAN DIEGO, Ca.) -- The Chicago Cubs have made the latest move in the MLB offseason, trading for catcher Miguel Montero.
The Cubs traded two prospects to the Arizona Diamondbacks, Tuesday to acquire what many within baseball consider the top catcher at framing pitches.
"It really gives us a solid presence in the catching position," manager Joe Maddon said.
In addition, Chicago will assume most of the $40 million left on the remaining three years of Montero's contract.
"I want to say thank you to the Diamondbacks for 14 years in the organization. I made a lot of great friends and I'm going to miss them all. Excited for the next chapter in my career with a team with so much history and a bright future. See you soon Windy City!" Montero tweeted after the trade was announced.
Montero, 31, has struggled at the plate in recent years. Last season he batted .243 with an OBP of .329. The Cubs will hope he can return to his 2011 form when he was an All-Star, who batted .286 with 15 home runs and 88 RBI.

Chicago Cubs Fire Manager Rick Renteria
Brian D. Kersey/Getty Images(CHICAGO, Ill) -- After one season of work, the Cubs have fired manager Rick Renteria.
Friday, Team President Theo Epstein released a statement praising Renteria's efforts in 2014.
Epstein's statement added that the opportunity to add Joe Maddon as manager of the team was too good to pass up.
"Last Thursday, we learned that Joe Maddon - who may be as well suited as anyone in the industry to manage the challenges that lie ahead of us - had become a free agent,'' Epstein explained. " We confirmed the news with Major League Baseball, and it became public knowledge the next day.
"We saw it as a unique opportunity and faced a clear dilemma: be loyal to Rick or be loyal to the organization. In this business of trying to win a world championship for the first time in 107 years, the organization has priority over any one individual. We decided to pursue Joe."
Maddon opted out of his contract with the Tampa Bay Rays last week. The contract with Maddon has not yet been finalized. The Cubs offered Renteria a chance to stay with the organization but he declined.

Lucroy Sets Record in Brewers Win
Milwaukee Brewers/MLB(MILWAUKEE) -- With an RBI double in the bottom of the fifth, Milwaukee's Jonathan Lucroy set the Major League record for doubles by a catcher in a single season with 46. It also gave the Brewers (82-79) a 2-1 lead over the Chicago Cubs (72-89), a score they would later go on to win by.
The record was previously held by Texas' Ivan Rodriguez who recorded 45 doubles in 1996. Lucroy has hit a total of 53 doubles this season with seven of them coming as a first baseman. The All-Star's RBI hit also guaranteed Milwaukee of a winning season.
Wily Peralta (17-11) struck out 13 batters, a career high, in seven innings to pick up the win. Closer Francisco Rodriguez moved into the top-10 all-time in saves, picking up the 348th in his career.

Kershaw Wins 20th Game, Dodgers Clinch Playoff Spot
Lisa Blumenfeld/Getty Images(CHICAGO) -- Despite only throwing five innings, Clayton Kershaw picked up his league-leading 20th win of the season as Los Angeles defeated the Chicago Cubs (68-86) 14-5 on Friday. It was the shortest outing in nearly four months for Kershaw (20-3), who was aided by his offense.
"Obviously, you want to go eight or nine every time and be the reason why your team won," Kershaw said. "But sometimes your team does it for you and you just have to be out there. So that was the way it happened today and I'll take it."
The Dodgers hit four home runs as a team, including two from catcher A.J. Ellis. In total, Los Angeles (88-66) racked up 13 hits against Edwin Jackson (6-15) who was making his first start since coming off the disabled list.
Los Angeles also clinched a playoff spot with Pittsburgh's 4-2 win over Milwaukee. It's the second straight season the Dodgers will be in the playoffs as they hold a 3 1/2 game lead over San Francisco in the NL West.

Cubs' Starlin Castro Likely to Miss the Rest of the Season
Kent C. Horner/Getty Images(CHICAGO) -- Earlier this week the Chicago Cubs lost first baseman Anthony Rizzo for an indefinite period of time, and now it has been revealed that shortstop Starlin Castro is likely to miss the rest of the season with a high ankle sprain.
Castro injured himself when he slid into home during the first inning of the team's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. His cleat got caught in the dirt around home plate. An MRI revealed the sprain.
"Right now the prognosis is four weeks to come back," general manager Jed Hoyer said Wednesday. "We're not going to shut him down. His mentality is he can beat four weeks and come back."
After a down season in 2013, the 24-year-old Castro has rebounded quite nicely in 2014. If his season is truly over, he'll have played 134 games this season while batting .292 with 14 home runs and 65 RBIs.
"In my mind's eye he's had a very productive season," manager Rick Renteria said. "He's dealt with a lot of different things very positively. He's worked extremely hard."
Rookie Javier Baez will shift over from second base to shortstop.

Cubs First Baseman Anthony Rizzo Out Indefinitely
Joe Robbins/Getty Images(CHICAGO) -- One of the feel good stories for the Cubs this season might have a rough ending as first baseman Anthony Rizzo is out indefinitely with a mild back strain.
"We're going to be cautious with him," Cubs president Theo Epstein said Tuesday. "It's the type of thing where if it was before expanded rosters he probably would be a DL. With the expanded rosters in September there is no need to DL him. We're going to be cautious and make sure we knock it out. It's nothing chronic, nothing that will bother him long term, but it's just something we don't want to rush back from."
In his second full season in Major League Baseball, Rizzo made his first All-Star team and gave Cubs fans hope for the future.
In 129 games this season, the 25-year-old Rizzo is hitting .278 with 30 home runs and 71 RBIs.

Need to protect hydrangeas?
I'm thinking about adding a hydrangea or two to my landscape here in the Richmond area. Do I need to protect these in the winter with wraps or something else? Does it depend on the hyrdangea variety I choose? If I need to do lots of winter protection, I will probably go for something else. Thanks!
As best as I understand it, if it blooms on "new wood" it should be ok. I put in an "Endless Summer" variety last fall and it dies to the ground, but has come back with vigor and has lots of buds on it. One piece of advice: whatever you get, make sure you water it very well the first year. It really drinks up the water
Good luck
I wish I knew what variety mine were then I could tell you that you do not need to do anything to them. I am in the DC area.
About 1/4 of my stalks die over the winter, the others survive and sprout new growth. I am not sure if new stalks flower on mine or not. We have only been here ~2 years and I have been too afraid to cut them back and see if I get blooms or not on the new growth.
Peegees are lovely while in bloom. The attached link is about pruning various types of hydrangeas (it seems to present the subject with clarity).

Robellini's are a little sensitive to the cold, although Tampa has been spared this particular winter, other than a cold night a couple of weeks ago. I covered mine with a frost blanket. Your concern sounds more like a fertilization issue. Palms need a different fertilizer than your regular landscape plants. I feed my palms regularly every three months with a palm fertilizer and added doses of epsom salt. There are trace elements they need that are not as prevelant in regular shrub fertilizer. They are all a deep green and healthy. Palm spikes are okay, but I prefer scattering the palm fertilizer completely around the trunks of the palm. I extend it out 12 to 24 inches depending on the size of the palm. Hopefully that will correct your concern.

We need to behave like Winston Churchill not Chamberlain. This is the Munich agreement all over again and history one day will judge what our leaders do at this crucial moment. Will we avert a nuclear holocaust or aid to it's coming?

text: In addition to fluffy Nora Roberts and not-so-fluffy Diana Gabaldon (we actually had a funny Outlander discussion in my office this morning), I like post-apocalyptic stuff. One of my recent faves was The Passage by Justin Cronin -- a virus turns much of the world into zombie-type creatures, and small outposts of "humans" have to defend themselves. A prequel recently came out, The Twelve, and I haven't gotten that from the hold list at the library yet. Another fascinating p-a series is by Ann Benson -- Thief of Souls, The Plague Tales and A Physician's Tale. They go back and forth between the near-future and the Black Plague period.

I'm still a bit of a noobie in programming development and am having some trouble with making a clean design. Specifically, I have a scenario as below:
I have 4 classes, each with common functionality. Lets call these methods A, B, C, etc.
class: Account ; methods: A, B, C, G, H, I, S1, S2, S3
class: Folder; methods: A, B, C, D, E, S1, S2, S3
class: Group ; methods: A, B, C, D, E, F, S1, S2, S3
class: Role ; methods: A, B, C, D, E, F, S1, S2, S3
The methods specified above are abstract. As in there could be a FooAccount and a BarAccount which implement method A differently. However FooAccount and FooGroup have the same method A (since they are of the same implementation; Foo). Not too bad, except there are also some methods S1, S2 and S3 that are implemented identically even between Foo and Bar so that FooAccount and BarAccount have identical methods S1, S2 and S3.
Currently my design is quite ugly:
interface Object1: declares A, B, C
interface Object2 extends Object1: declares D, E
interface Object3 extends Object2: declares F
interface Account extends Object1: declares G, H, I
interface Folder extends Object2;
interface Group extends Object3;
interface Role extends Object3;
class Helper: defines S1, S2, S3
I know multiple inheritances are prohibited for good reason, but if I were allowed to do so I could put the methods S1, S2, and S3 into Object1 and turn all the interfaces into abstracts. Then FooAccount could extend both Account and FooObject1.
Can anyone give me some advice to what structure might be better? Should I just put all A, B, C, etc. into a Util class (e.g. FooUtil and BarUtil)?

(PRWEB) July 19, 2013
Akerman Senterfitt today announced that Joseph Hatchett, co-chair of the firm's Appellate Practice, has been honored with the NAACP 2013 Annual William Robert Ming Advocacy Award for his dedication and sacrifice to his profession.
The Award is given annually by the NAACP to a lawyer who exemplifies the same spirit of financial and personal sacrifice that Ming displayed in his legal work for the NAACP. Ming is best remembered as a member of the litigation team that achieved the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education.
Hatchett, who also serves as co-chair of Akerman's Diversity Committee, began his career as a civil rights lawyer in Florida. He became the first African-American elected to the highest court of a state since Reconstruction when Governor Reuben Askew appointed him to the Florida Supreme Court in 1975. He later served as Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The National Bar Association (NBA) inducted Hatchett into its Hall of Fame in recognition of more than 40 years of dedication to the cause of justice and equality before the U.S. Courts, and on behalf of the African-American community. Additionally, the NBA honored him with the Spirit of Excellence Award, which is presented annually to exceptional lawyers who have made significant contributions to the promotion of racial and ethnic diversity.
Hatchett was presented with the award during the 104th Annual National Convention on Monday, July 15th at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
The Akerman Litigation Practice Group is recognized nationally by U.S. News - Best Lawyers in the Commercial Litigation category and as a national tier one law firm fo

Composite. Never hang baby up in the air. Do pose over a beanbag and edit it out.
Amazing how this photographer was able to get the face, hands, and feet all together in one small frame. Just beautiful composition on this one!
I've never wanted to shoot a newborn before. This image might just sway me.
This reminds me of that scene from Alien when they put people in those weird caccoons and then eat them. Or something.
Google Image Result for capturedbycarrie....
I always wonder if the branch is real, how dead it is, will it snap?, and what it is anchored to if in studio.
i'm seeing a lot more of these "baby collage" pictures. like, closeups of individual baby parts. Like, ok, i get that your baby has cute toes, and a cute tummy, and cute hands, but a picture of his body parts separately in a picture frame just screams to me "No, officer, don't look in my freezer! I don't know what that smell is coming from under the house!"
