Trial Description
RATIONALE: Studying quality of life in patients with cancer may help determine the effects of gynecologic cancer and may help improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies the quality of life and care needs of patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer.
Further Study Information
- To determine the prevalence and severity of patient-reported symptoms in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers at study entry and at three and six months post-enrollment.
- To explore the unmet needs of these women at study entry and at three and six months post-enrollment. (Exploratory)
- To explore the overall quality-of-life (QOL) of these women at study entry and at three and six months post enrollment. (Exploratory)
- To explore the relationship between patient-reported symptoms and overall QOL, current cancer therapy (yes/no), and treatment responses (if on cancer therapy). (Exploratory)
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients complete the Needs at the End-of-Life Screening Tool (NEST), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Ovarian (FACT-O), the FACIT-Fatigue Subscale (FACIT-F), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) FACT Ovarian Symptom Index-18 (NFOSI-18), the FACT/GOG-AD subscale for ovarian cancer-related abdominal discomfort, and the FACT/GOG-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-NTX) Scale quality-of-life questionnaires at baseline and at 3 and 6 months during office or clinic visits or via telephone or mail. Patients' demographic and therapy information, such as current age, ethnicity, marital status, employment status, prior chemotherapy regimens/cancer treatment, disease status (if available), performance status, patient care information, and current cancer therapy are also collected.
After completion of study participation, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
Eligibility Criteria
- Patients with persistent or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer
- Platinum-resistant (less than 6 months from date of last platinum therapy to date of first evidence of recurrent or persistent disease) disease as measured by any of the following:
- Imaging
- Physical exam
- CA-125 that is twice the upper limit of normal on two occasions with at least one week apart
- No patients who have platinum resistant or refractory disease after more than 6 months since prior therapy
- Criteria for patients on cancer therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, non-cytotoxic regimens, hormone therapy, or radiation therapy) include recurrent or persistent disease defined as having measurable disease per RECIST (Version 1.1)
- Patients not on chemotherapy are also eligible and are not required to have RECIST criteria
- Life expectancy of at least 6 months
- Patients with any performance status, yet with the ability to verbally consent and participate in the first assessment
- Study measures will be administered in the office/clinic setting, or for study participants who are unable to attend clinics, via telephone or mail (telephone is the preferred back-up means)
- Patients may have or have had a prior non-gynecologic malignancy within 5 years prior to study enrollment; however, they must have completed all treatments for the disease and have no evidence of disease at the time of enrollment, and ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer must be the primary life-threatening diagnosis
- Patient must be able to read and write English
- See Disease Characteristics
- No patients receiving chemotherapy for platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer

Sorry if this has been asked before. I think some assets have gotten lost in moving my files around. I've set up a separate computer for Daz work. The program is on the main drive and the product and project on another drive. Opening up an old project results in a long list of missing assets. The model then load but with cubes where the missing elements are.
Any way to reconnect this project to the assets?

Lying EyesPeople love your happy smile.Lying Eyes by OneAgainstAnArmy
People hang on to your every word.
People think you can do no wrong.
They say they can see the light in your eyes.
How wrong they are to believe and trust.
How such fools they are to be deceived.
How stupidly blind they are that they cannot see.
The only one who can see the real you, see the real truth is me.
I don't believe your poisonous smile.
I don't trust your wicked words.
People always fall for you disguise,
But I see the truth behind your dark-lying eyes.
You say one thing, but do another.
You promise love, but give endless suffer.
You always get and never give, but when you do it's always broken promises.
You always say that you're selfless and sacrifice, but you're actually selfish and someone else always pays your price.
You create endless torture and endless pain.
Always loss, never gain.
Your grasp is always tight around my neck.
I try to run, but your grip gets tighter yet.
I fight through all the hate and pain.
I live through the torture and
Nothing More InspiringThere's nothing more inspiringNothing More Inspiring by OneAgainstAnArmy
Than someone crushing your dreams.
Listening to them shout,
At first you don't pay attention
Keep going on with a happy mood.
Watching them scream at another
Realizing it's aimed towards you.
Knowing that everything you've worked for.
Everything you believed.
Crashed down in seconds.
Ripped at the seems.
Words were said.
Actions were done.
But you just stood there. Still.
Biting your lip. Holding your tongue.
You walked away mindlessly. Not knowing where to go.
They don't seem to notice because they were still on a roll.
You thought you were completely empty. That more couldn't be done.
Now you realize that there are still words a plenty that still can make you numb.

Is it possible to have great friends?

Is it possible to have almost everything you've ever wanted?

Is it possible to have all of this and be completely numb?
Is it possible to have all of this and be depressed?
Is it possible to have all of this and wish you had a different life?
Is it possible to have all of this and want to start over even though nothing wrong happend?
Is it possible to have all of this and want it all to just end?
The HuntThe moon is full.The Hunt by OneAgainstAnArmy
My heart is empty.
I cry for you.
My sorrows plenty.
You left me alone.
With tears to shed.
Broke me into pieces.
Left me for dead.
Now I hunt for you,
With hate in my heart,
To finish the job
That tore us apart.
You were told a mission
To make one of us dead.
You tried killing me,
Without thought in your head.
But you failed,
And here I still stand.
Soon it will be your blood
That is upon my hands.
We meet in a cemetery
Where I was beaten.
In front of a stone
Where it is written.
"Rest in Peace."
It says on the head.
It was for me,
Now it's for you instead.
The battle was quick.
The battle was won.
You brought a knife.
I brought a gun.
When I left your grave
I couldn't help but wonder
Why the moon shined brighter
With you six feet under?

Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur are on the cover on the latest stardust. The duo have never been paired on-screen but after this, chances are they will end up signing a film. Editor Ram Kamal Mukherjee says, "Stardust has always believed in working on unusual pairing. We were the first to bring Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi together for a shoot, and eventually they bagged Lootera.
Later, we did combination shoots with Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra and they bagged Karan Johar's film Hansee Toh Phasee. This time we thought of bringing Sonakshi and Aditya Roy Kapur together, because they both have some sort of rawness which has not been tapped by any filmmaker or lensman.
It took just three minutes for Sonakshi to break the ice and shoot with newbie Aditya. In the accompanying interview, Sonakshi talks about her affairs which her parents knew about and Aditya clarifies that his sister-in-law Vidya Balan is not pregnant."

Even with the downturn in mining worldwide which has seen massive job losses as a result of mining companies downsizing, putting mines into maintenance mode or closing down, it appears not all is bad for Geologists working in mining in Australia. Besides other mining professions, we know that there are a lot of Geologists who have lost their jobs worldwide and in Australia. What I thought may be of interest, was to see how this downturn has affected Geologist salaries in Australia. (more…)

OCD & Anxiety: Five Common Roadblocks to Successful Treatment
Follow @ocdla
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the gold standard for the treatment of OCD and related anxiety based conditions. But some simple mistakes can interfere with treatment. Kimberley Quinlan, MFT, of the OCD Center of Los Angeles discusses five common roadblocks to effective treatment for OCD and anxiety.
Research has consistently found that the most effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and most other anxiety disorders is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The cognitive component of CBT involves investigating and challenging the individual's irrational thoughts related to their fears. These thoughts are described as "cognitive distortions", and the process of challenging them is known as "cognitive restructuring". This process takes place during therapy sessions, and is also practiced by the client between sessions throughout the course of treatment.
The behavioral component of CBT is more time intensive, and requires the client to be gradually, purposefully and systematically exposed to the very thoughts and situations which generate their discomfort, and to do so without responding with either compulsive or avoidant behaviors. This process is known as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
At the OCD Center of Los Angeles, in addition to traditional CBT as described above, we also focus a significant amount of our treatment on what is known as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT). Mindfulness Based CBT is not a substitution for cognitive restructuring and ERP, but rather an addition to them. MBCBT focuses on helping clients learn to accept the existence of their unwanted thoughts, feelings, sensations, and urges, and to elect not to respond to them in a compulsive or avoidant manner. This requires the client to choose a different way of thinking about their obsessions and other anxiety symptoms.
In the course of treatment with CBT and MBCBT, the therapist helps the client to challenge the accuracy and legitimacy of the his/her thoughts (obsessions), while at the same time accepting the ongoing existence of those thoughts, as well as the existence of other unwanted experiences such as uncomfortable feelings, sensations, and urges. Over time, clients learn that they are able to tolerate these experiences without doing either compulsive or avoidant behaviors.
Unlike more traditional talk therapy, CBT is a dynamic and directed style of treatment. But there are numerous pitfalls along the way. A seasoned Cognitive Behavioral therapist knows to keep a watchful eye out for certain roadblocks that are likely to hinder a client's therapeutic progress. Given the fact that obsessions and compulsions occur mostly outside of the therapist's office, and that the client is responsible for completing a good deal of homework between sessions, the client has frequent opportunities to get sidetracked. Here are five common roadblocks clients need to be aware of when entering into treatment for OCD and anxiety using CBT and MBCBT.
Not doing your homework
One of the biggest barriers to successful treatment is when the client believes that just coming to therapy will make them better. Yes, consistently attending therapy is a cornerstone to improving your symptoms, but it is not all that is required. There are 168 hours in a week, and if you are attending therapy 1-2 hours per week, but not doing your CBT homework, your progress will be extremely slow. When do you do most of your compulsions? At home? At work? At social events? You will need to be committed to practicing mindfulness, and to exposing yourself to your specific obsessions and fears, and to doing both without responding to your discomfort with compulsions or avoidant behaviors.
Performing other compulsions while doing exposure therapy
When human beings experience anxiety, we will often do just about anything to make it go away. During treatment, we help our clients learn to identify the compulsive and avoidant behaviors they are using in an effort to rid themselves of their anxiety. We then help them gradually expose themselves to their fear without using these behaviors.
One common treatment mistake is to replace one compulsive behavior with another. For example, "Annie" always flicks the lights seven times when entering or exiting a room. Our goal is to get Annie to walk through the door without flicking the light switches at all (unless of course she legitimately needs to turn the lights on or off, in which case one flick of the lights is appropriate). If Annie goes through the door without flicking the switches, but then says certain prayers while going through the door, or mentally imagines herself flicking the switches, then she is still doing compulsions. Likewise, if she simply avoids that room in order to avoid the light switches, she is doing an avoidant compulsion. Replacing one compulsion with another will dramatically slow down her treatment.
Another example would be "John", who always feels the need to mentally review his day in order to get a sense of certainty that he did not harm anyone. John's exposure would be to purposely have a thought about harming someone, and to then not do a mental review. The goal here is for John to accept the discomfort that this thought causes, while making no effort to mitigate that discomfort. If John performs his exposure, but then seeks reassurance by asking his girlfriend to confirm that he hasn't actually hurt anyone, he is still being compulsive. And if he also chooses to check his hands for blood or to inspect the silverware drawer for evidence of missing knives, these behaviors are also compulsions, and they will counteract his ERP efforts. These common mistakes do not allow John to be fully exposed to his fear, and in turn, his treatment progress will suffer.
Expecting your therapist to know your OCD and anxiety symptoms
After reading the above points, you may notice that there are many types of compulsions. It is important to be aware of all of them in order to make sure you are completing your exposure assignments correctly and thoroughly. There are four primary types of compulsions.
- overt compulsions
- avoidant compulsions
- reassurance seeking compulsions
- mental compulsions
Overt compulsions are actual physical behaviors that one does in an effort to reduce anxiety and obsessions. Avoidance of a specific feared object, situation, or thought is just another compulsive way of trying to reduce anxiety or obsessions. Reassurance seeking is a common compulsion that is often overlooked during treatment, and involves finding certainty from those around you (often family members or partners) or via other sources such as the internet or newspapers. Last of all, there are mental compulsions. These are often difficult to identify as they are going on only in the mind of the sufferer (for example, compulsive prayer, counting rituals, mental review of situations, etc.). Mental compulsions can easily be overlooked, especially if your therapist is not trained to fully understand and treat OCD. The key is for clients to be aware of all of these different types of symptoms, and to be sure to discuss any and all symptoms with their therapist (including new symptoms that may arise during the course of treatment). If you fail to inform your therapist of all of your symptoms, even those which you find terribly anxiety provoking or embarrassing, there is no way that your therapist can help you fully face your fears.
Constantly analyzing your symptoms
We humans are extremely good at fooling ourselves into believing "If I just figure this out, I will not have anxiety about it". But if you are invested in trying to understand why you have OCD or other anxiety symptoms, you are almost guaranteed to feel even more confused and anxious.
Unfortunately, it is common practice in traditional talk therapy to analyze the client's feelings in an effort to get the "root" of the issue. While this may seem like a good idea, it is the exact wrong thing to do for someone with OCD. The last thing someone with OCD needs to do is to spend even more time obsessing about their thoughts, feelings, sensations and urges.
It is critical that you know that there is no profound, deep-seated reason why you are having these thoughts and feelings – you are having them because you have a neurologically based condition called OCD which makes your brain over-focus on unwanted thoughts. Analyzing your thoughts is not just pointless, it will actually make your OCD worse. Analyzing and mentally reviewing your OCD and anxiety symptoms may decrease your discomfort in the short term, but they will increase your discomfort in the long term. That said, we do spend a fair amount of time in treatment reviewing and learning about each person's thoughts and feelings. But in CBT, this occurs primarily in the beginning of treatment, and is done in an effort to help clients learn to challenge their cognitive distortions and compulsive behaviors. In other words, it is done not in order to find some hidden, deep-seated issue, but rather to help the client learn more effective ways of thinking and acting when faced with their fears and discomforts.
Resisting the fact that being uncomfortable is a normal part of life
Discomfort is a fact of life. This includes the uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, sensations, and urges that one experiences in OCD and other anxiety based conditions. While this may sound pessimistic, some people actually consider this way of thinking to be realistic, and even optimistic. By actually fully accepting the existence of our discomfort, we are often relieved of it to some extent. Conversely, if you are committed to comfort at any cost, your anxiety and discomfort will flourish.
One of the biggest mistakes I see clients make during the course of treatment is resisting the thoughts, feelings, sensations and urges that they are currently experiencing. When you resist or try to avoid these internal experiences, you are telling your brain that there is something to be afraid of, and that you can't bear its existence. You are reinforcing the distorted belief that there is a serious threat and that it is intolerable. The goal of Mindfulness Based CBT is to learn to sit with the discomfort – after all, it is there whether you like it or not. Essentially, the goal is to accept that your discomfort is present for you, just as it is everyone, no matter how happy, sad, lucky, unfortunate, rich, poor, tall, short, skinny, overweight, smart…the list goes on. No one is exempt from discomfort. Accepting and tolerating it is the tool that begins your journey to healing.
CBT is highly successful for a number of reasons. First, clients learn to face their fears, and in doing so, become desensitized to them. Second, clients learn helpful cognitive tools to become more mindful and accepting of their unwanted thoughts, feelings, sensations, and urges. And third, these tools can be practiced anywhere and anytime for the rest on one's life. So if and when you decide to enter onto treatment for OCD using CBT, do your best to avoid these five common pitfalls. If you do so, you will find your therapeutic progress far smoother.

I am glad you enjoyed the article Janet. Sufferers of OCD often are treated several times before actually finding appropriate treatment. Our goal is to reduce the incidence of this and provide treatment that gets the client back on their feet as soon as possible.

A great article, very informative I particularly like the section on "performing other compulsions…." I often find myself ( frustratingly so may I add ) acknowledging a thought and not trying to answer it and living with being uncomfortable and uncertain about its legitimacy (all good so far)only to find that I'm inadvertently putting the things I enjoy doing off until I feel completely free of the thought such as biking, buying things, seeing friends etc- which I guess is another compulsion ! Because I feel that anything I do will remind me of the thought. None the less a very enjoyable read!

Very helpful. I especially like the part about not sitting around trying to determine the root of the issue. There is no root; the OCD thoughts are all a bunch of crap that just seeks to make you uncomfortable.
Does CBT work for pure obsessional ocd and existential ocd as well as it works for themes like contamination?
renee pearson on
July 25th, 2012
Nathan, you are right! Avoiding our daily activities in fear of having unwanted thoughts is compulsive. The goal is to be able to have ANY thought and accept it for what it is – it is just a thought. I often encourage my clients to "invite their thoughts to tea." This means allowing the thought to be with you without pushing it away or suppressing it. You might enjoy reading another post on our blog about "thought suppression" at http://www.ocdla.com/blog/ocd-thought-suppression-1249. This post discusses this issue at length. Good luck!!!

Renee, Thanks for your response. Yes, CBT is incredibly successful with all types of OCD, including Pure OCD. We apply the same treatment concepts and techniques for all cases of OCD and many other anxiety disorders. The beauty of CBT is that is can be applied to many conditions while also allowing the treatment to be very individualized and specific to one's symptoms. When treating Pure Obsessional types of OCD, we often add additional exposures that are called Imaginal Exposures. This involves desensitizing the client of their fear by writing stories about their obsessions. I hate to sound repetitive, but check out the blogs on our website about the treatment of Pure OCD.
Good luck!

Thank you for the great information. My 17 year old son is just starting CBT after fighting with OCD for years. Its such a slow process, sometimes I find myself thinking "this will never work." We initially started with well-meaning counselors who just wanted my son to "talk about his feelings". I am thankful that we have found a wonderful therapist who is guiding the whole family thru this treatment

I am so glad you have found a therapist who is helping your son. As parents, it is easy to become discouraged when you see your loved ones hurting. Try to remember that providing him with motivation and support will be a bonus to his treatment. Try to maintain a balance between being supportive and encouraging while also giving him the space to learn how to cope with his discomfort on his own. It is a juggling act, but one that will benefit your whole family in the long run. I wish you all the best! Kimberley

Hi Luciole,
Thank you for your comment. Unwanted obsessions related to sexual orientation are quite common in OCD, and are frequently described as "Gay OCD" or "HOCD". I want to encourage you to read our four-part series on HOCD, starting with http://www.ocdla.com/blog/sexual-orientation-hocd-gay-ocd-treatment-1010 . These articles should give you some insight into your thoughts and how to better manage them.

Hi, I have always had OCD but recently I have came across existential OCD. I think about how life started and how it makes no sense and I feel Like everything I know about life is a lie. I also question my existence and wonder if this is really OCD and if it will ever go away. I'm so terrified from this thought I haven't been sleeping well at all as well as deceased appetite (three hours a night which I dream about these scary thoughts).
They say they are just thoughts, but this isn't just a thought, life is a thing, and I confuse myself so bad. I now look at the world as an equation and question everything till I feel foreign and detached from reality. Will CBT work for me? Or will I never get over this, please help I'm terribly scared.
Alyssa on
December 9th, 2014
Hi Alyssa,
Life is not an equation, and cannot be reduced to one. Certain things are unknown, and perhaps unknowable. I have no idea how life started or evolved over time, nor do you or I need to know. But not knowing certain things about life doesn't mean that "everything I know about life is a lie". That's quite a leap your making.
Also, you note that you have heard these thoughts are just thoughts, but you reject that idea by saying "this isn't just a thought, life is a thing". But just because life exists doesn't mean that your thought about it is anything more than a thought. It is a thought about life – nothing more, nothing less. The process by which life started or evolved has absolutely nothing to do with your thoughts about that process.
Your job is to accept that certain things remain unknowable to you, and to get on with the business of living. Analyzing the nature of life will get you nowhere.

Amazing and very informative article.
Just 6 months ago I was a person who was lived in a different country, miles away from my home country. I was hard working, no fear and ready for any adventure. I was very social, attended parties, conferences, meetings etc. But suddenly one day while attending a meeting I felt like a dizzy wave passed my body and I thought I will fall. I started feeling like I won't be able to carry my weight. I was very shaky. Went to ER, all normal. Since that day, I have visited ER 4 times and tons of tests which came back normal. After all this time I feel little better but the main problem is different symptoms and unexpected time. For sometime I won't feel dizzy but for this time I will be obsessed about my breathing pattern and feel like even laughing will make me hyoerventilate. Then after few days I will suddenly have dizzness. Then after that stabbing chest pain. Then back to breathing obsessesion. After that I would feel sudden thumps in my chest. It lasts for few days ( twice or thrice a day ). Chest congestion after that. If nothing comes, then jaw clenches and throat becomes tight.
These symptoms come one by one. They strike anytime and remains for few days. And every day there is a new symptom.
If I feel very confident in the morning and go out with friends then few minutes of these symptoms will forced me to go home and try to take off my mind from it by playing games or by just lying down and watching
Movie ( alone )
Haven't worked for last 6 months. People around me are getting bored with my complains. And I too feel like it will never end. Initially I used to work 15 hrs a day and used to travel anywhere anyplace without fear. Now I shut myself in my room. Afraid to go out and talk to people.
Also whenever I talk I get breathless. Feel like I forgot how to talk without getting breathless. I am so obsessed about my breathing that I always feel am intervening withy breathing pattern. I know it's crazy, but I just wonder if there is a way out from all these things.
Hyper anxious on
December 23rd, 2014
Hello there Hyper Anxious,
I am so sorry to hear you are going through this.
Yes, there is a way out – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a strong emphasis on Mindfulness is a very effective way to manage these types of symptoms. Your goal is to tolerate all of your unwanted sensations without letting them determine your behavior. And example of this might be to go out of your house despite feeling these feelings and sensations, and to commit to just letting the sensations be there. The goal is to not let the sensations decide how your days goes.
You are best to have the guidance of a CBT therapist to help you manage this in a structured manner. In the meantime, we have lots of articles on our website that might help you understand this treatment a little better.
I wish you ALL the luck!

JERUSALEM: Palestinian militants slammed rockets into Israel on Thursday as warplanes raided the Gaza Strip, prompting officials to talk tough but admit they were powerless to eliminate the menace.
The strikes by both sides came one day after a 57-year-old Israeli mother of two was killed when a salvo of Palestinian rockets crashed into the southern town of Sderot in the first such lethal attack from Gaza since July 2005.
Hours later, Israeli warplanes carried out five overnight air raids across the Gaza Strip, targeting five buildings the military said were used by militants, in attacks that Palestinians medics said left five people wounded.
Even so, the Israeli leadership admitted they had no final solution to wipe out the near-constant rocket threat since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005 after a 38-year occupation.
Flying home from California, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert acknowledged that rocket fire would not end in one swoop, calling yesterday's attacks "severe" but declaring only that operations will continue "according to circumstance".
"There has been Qassam fire in the south (for) a long time and we view it as extremely serious and therefore take actions," he briefed reporters travelling with him, claiming that "360 terrorists" had been killed since June.
"The rocket fire will not end with one blow," he confessed -- sentiments echoed by Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres, a Nobel peace laureate, who admitted to army radio that the government had no definitive solution.
Palestinian militant groups fired two rockets into southern Israel, one of which caused damage to a building in a kibbutz but neither of which caused any casualties today, an army spokesman said.

Complete attention?
Something I've realized on this trip that is true in most of Europe, but seems to be even more true in Spain, is the attention a customer receives. In the US, if I just need to know where the bathroom is, I can often approach a customer service person, get in a quick question no matter what they are doing, and be on my way. Not so here. If the person I want to talk to is helping someone else or doing something else, like stacking plates, then they will almost never acknowledge me until they are done. This can be frustrating, obviously, if you're used to 'butting in' like we do in the US. But I've discovered the past few days that it can also be pleasing when eventually you are the one being served. I never realized how seldom we in the US have someone's complete and undivided attention. Here you will have to wait a while, but when that person comes to help you, then it's your turn and the hounds of hell could be doing their thing on the carpet, but they would have to wait until you have been served.
But enough about that. I spent last night and this morning walking around Merida. Last night looking for a restaurant that was open. Town full of places to eat, and the one I see open is selling American Hot Dogs. And it's PACKED with locals, mostly young people. I can't do it. I don't even like hot dogs, especially not when I'm in Spain. I end up at the only other place I can find open, get a suspicious calamari boqadillo, and don't end up poisoned.
Turns out the Roman art museum is closed Mondays, I didn't read far enough. But I got to some of the monuments.
Another tile advertising wall.
In the arena this morning they had signs talking about the different kinds of gladiators and what they did, who they fought.
I never knew there were assigned roles and styles of fighting, I figured it was a free-for-all to the death. But no, in fact they got paid, between three and fifteen years wages for a soldier for one fight. Of course if you lose...
then you never get to see this, the roof of the winner's exit tunnel.
Later builders took lots of material from old Roman buildings, as happened almost everywhere.
and look how they built with it! This wall was built in the 800's by the Moors. Compare the workmanship to the picture above.
Another angle of the Roman bridge, showing most of it's 750 meter length.
and they're still diggin' more stuff up!
Not many riding pictures from today and what I have will get posted tomorrow when I've had more time to go through them.

Actress Sridevi Kapoor, who recently shot for a Tamil ad for jewellery brand Tanishq, admits she goes berserk upon seeing ornaments.
"Jewellery is my weakness. Whenever I see any jewellery, I am unable to control myself. My daughters or somebody has to cool me down," the 49-year-old said here while shooting for the ad.
"I had called them (daughters) here also, but when I looked for them, they had left before I could demand anything," added the actress, who seen as a simple housewife in her comeback movie "English Vinglish".
The ad has been directed by "English Vinglish" director Gauri Shinde and the actress admits she surrenders to her like a newcomer.
"I totally surrender to Gauri and I am like a newcomer in front of her. Whatever she tells me, I do it obediently like a new actress," said Sridevi, who is married to filmmaker Boney Kapoor.
In terms of films, after a successful comeback last year, she is taking things easy.
"I am listening to scripts but I am not in a hurry to do anything. It's not like, 'I have to do something'. If at all I do (a movie), definitely it should satisy me and I should be really confident to do that film," Sridevi said.
If reports are to be believed, she is likely to be part of "Mr. India 2", a sequel to 1987 hit sci-fi comedy "Mr. India", in which she had shared the screen space with Anil Kapoor.

I am unimpressed. Quite a few people are flat out -angry- by the use of the Star Trek name in conjunction with a mediocre plot.
Second, the moment he/she picked up the game, paying retail price for the disc or download, he/she was a paying customer, and you are ignorant to suggest otherwise.
Third, I've never picked up an MMO in my life -at launch- where I could be done with all of their content in less than a month's time, and I have played everything from cheap Korean grinders to the two biggest names in the history of the genre.
pretty much sums up my feelings rather well. I am just shocked that they could release an MMO with so little content, it just seems criminal, how can you sell an MMO like this and expect people to pay a subscription fee? there's nothing to *do* when you hit max level. I never ran out of things to do at max level in another other MMO i've played.

(NAPSI)If youre like many Americans, you enjoy a snack two or three times a day. Snacks are a great way to improve your diet, if theyre balanced.
Balanced snacks can be just as important as balanced meals. A balanced snack includes foods that contain protein in addition to carbohydrates and a little fat. The protein slows down the absorption of the carbohydrates, keeping you fuller longer and helping your blood sugar to stay constant. Include yogurt, cheese, peanut butter and other protein foods when you snack.
Fortunately, there are many easy ways to bake up good-tasting, more healthful snacks to have on hand. Try these tips from Clabber Girl:
Add whole grains-such as oats, flax and white whole wheat flour-to favorite treats to get more fiber in your diet.
Add dried fruit to quick breads, pancakes and muffins; stir mashed sweet potato, grated zucchini or banana into corn bread, waffles and cakes for added vitamins and minerals.
To reduce sodium in your baked goods, you can use Rumford Reduced Sodium Baking Powder.
Try this recipe for a terrific healthful snack.
Spring Berry Oatcakes
Makes about 2 dozen
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup bran
Ẅ cup almonds
1 tablespoon Clabber Girl Baking Powder
Ẅ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
? cup butter or palm shortening
? cup vegetable oil
1 cup applesauce
ẅ cup agave syrup or honey
2 eggs
1 cup milk, soy milk or buttermilk
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 cup blueberries
1 cup dried cranberries, raisins or dates
Extra oats and blueberries for garnish
Preheat oven to 375ẃF. Line baking sheets with parchment or use nonstick spray for easier cleanup. Stir together oats, flour, bran, almonds, Clabber Girl Baking Powder, baking soda and salt. Using your hands or two forks, cut in butter, oil and applesauce, till the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk agave or honey, eggs, milk and the 2 zests. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients and the berries. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls together. The dough will thicken as it sits for a few minutes and the liquids are absorbed. Scoop dough by the ? cupful onto prepared baking sheets. Press a sprinkling of oats and blueberries over the top for a rustic scone look. Bake about 22 minutes or until just firm in the center. Cool on a rack. Store frozen and reheat just before eating.

Rihanna poses with protected primate in Thailand
More News from Associated Press
BANGKOK — Pop star Rihanna has left behind a trail of racy tweets and an incriminating Instagram photograph from a Thailand trip that led police to arrest two men for peddling protected primates.
On a break from her Diamonds World Tour, Rihanna stopped in Thailand to visit the island of Phuket, where she befriended some local wildlife.
She posted a link on Twitter to an Instagram photo showing her snuggling up to a furry primate called the slow loris, and tweeted Friday: "Look who was talkin dirty to me!"
The slow loris, native to Southeast Asia, is listed as a protected species.
A Phuket official said Sunday the picture led police to arrest two people Saturday. They could face up to four years in prison if charged with possession of protected animals.

The optimal base coat to get nail polish staying on for nearly a whole week!! I was previously using OPI Chip Skip, but wasn't happy with the performance of that product - my nails still chipped really quickly. Happily I stumbled upon Creatives Sticky Start & haven't looked back. A fantastic product.

Good base coat that nail colors stick to. Even by itself it creates a nice sheen on nails and paired with a good top coat. It has extended my manicures last an extra few days. I can't think of anything more I would want from a base coat.

My favorite base coat hands down. I never used to wear polish because it would chip so easily but then I found Stickey. I use this for the "stickey sandwhich" (Thank you nail board). I apply as a base coat to clean nails, apply two coats of color, one more coat of stickey, then top coat. I know this sounds like a lot of polish but I have never had polish wear better. There are two things I would change if i could 1) I would make it clear because when you do the sandwhich it sometimes shows through super sheer colors, and 2) I would make the brush a little longer so I can use it all up.

I have very oily nails. Very. I put a drop or two of OPI Bond Aid of on my nails, a coat of this and then my polish.It sticks and stays and my polish lasts longer than 2 days before peeling'cracking/fading.

This is the first time I've used a specific base coat (usually I just used clear nail polish or a top coat), and I have to say I really like it. Granted, I'm not not a connoisseur by any means, but I would definitely repurchase this product.
Nail polish seems to stick to it really well, and I noticed a difference with my manicure lasting as soon as I started using it.
It's not perfect, though: I have noticed that while it didn't dry out my nails, it didn't seem to be nourishing to my nails either, but I used another product and that seemed to help.

When I removed Stickey, my nails looked dry. The second ingredient is isopropyl alcohol, a drying ingredient, so that's the likely cause.

I really wanted to prevent chipping so I experimented with many base/top coat combos. This base-coat was just Ok--didn't make anything worse, but didn't help my polish stay longer.

I tried this product after i finished (and was very happy with) my Orly bonder. I wish i hadnt because i wont be finishing this bottle. Its fine on toes but on my finger nails it doesnt hold my polish like the Orly one. I gave it a really good go but by day 3 im chipping. And i used the exact same other products (including my HG Seche Vite top coat).
I'll keep this to use on toes and use my Orly one on my tips.
I didnt mind the 'stickey' feeling or anything like that, it simply didnt work as well on my nails.

Apparently the point of this non-yellowing base coat is to give something to your polish to "stick" to. Good idea, but in my case, I accidentally once applied this as my base coat and forgot to polish my nails. It dried rock hard. Good for me, bad for the point of the product? Even though that happened to me I still give this a good rating. I only wear dark polish and before this I would have yellow nails all of the time. Does not have hardening ingredients, so if you need a nail fortifier try something else. I have naturally hard, strong, no ridge nails (curse me, I know), so this is perfect.

I hear alot of complaints about this, but I like it.
I really is sticky and the polish adheres to it. I think the longest I have ever worn a mani was three days (I change often). With this, I had no chipping.
I find that it works very well with my ChG polishes for some reason, and usually use it with those.
Not a HG product, but I will always grab it if I see it on sale. Its nice to have.

I think something is wrong here though, according to wiki (yeah, I know it's wiki) also 1kg of anti matter is much greater than hale bopp-
But, obviously hale bopp would hit with a lot more energy than the Tsar Bomb, if the Tsar Bomb did explode with that much energy it would be much greater than the dino asteroid and we wouldn't be here right now. Not a physics expect either, just it lists Tsar as a greater yield which it can't be.
1.) Hale-Bopp has been estimated to have an impact energy of about 4.4*10^9 megatons TNT equivalent. That's over 77
times the power of Tsar Bomba.
2.) 1 kg antimatter undergoing total mass-energy conversion with 1kg matter yields 1.8*10^17 Joules of energy, or about 43 megatons TNT equivalent, about 14 megatons shy of the Tsar Bomba.

Van Hagen brothers pit photography against printmaking in exhibit
Dutch brothers Alex and Han Van Hagen are holding an exhibit of their fourth collaboration showcasing the striking photographs by Alex and exquisite copper etchings by Han.
"Van Hagen & Van Hagen: Brothers in Art" 4 will run until March 10 in the Gallery of Peninsula Manila.
Known in Manila's elite circle for beautifully capturing the faces and memories of practically every high-profile social gathering, Alex is an ace photographer with a keen eye for detail. In this exhibit, the top lensman will display a different side of his artistic passion with photos of landscapes, cityscapes and still lifes captured from his travels all over Europe and the Philippines.

Middlesboro turned the ball over eight times and just never could stop the Pikeville offense on Friday in a 77-46 on the road.
A high scoring game was expected, but nothing like that. It went back-and-forth early as the Panthers scored on their opening possession and Middlesboro answered when Austin Poindexter hauled in a Donnie Foister pass for a touchdown. The extra point was no good so Pikeville led 7-6.
Pikeville scored again and Ryan Pittman returned the following kick 75 yard for a touchdown to make it 14-12. The Panthers scored again on a long touchdown pass to go up 21-12 on the last play of the first quarter.
That's when the turnover bug bit the Jackets hard. Three straight times they either lost a fumble or failed to cover a squib kick and Pikeville took advantage of short fields to score three quick touchdowns and take a 42-12 lead before the midway point of the second quarter.
The Jackets battled back with short touchdown runs by Pittman and Foister to get as close as 42-26. Pikeville scored again and Middlesboro lost another fumble before halftime and they went into the locker room down 49-26.
Pittman capped a strong drive to open the second half with a one-yard plunge and the two-point conversion got MHS within 15 points, at 49-34 early in the third quarter.
Middlesboro nearly got that elusive defensive stop as Pikeville faced a fourth and 11 at the Jacket 43. They converted when Austin Charles hooked up with Cody Estep for a 32-yard gain. Two plays later Chase Hall scored from four yard out and L.J. Allara's kick made it 56-34 with 4:39 left in the third quarter.
The Jackets lost another fumble and the Panthers scored on a 74-yard touchdown pass to put the game out of reach at 63-34.
Foister connected with Poindexter for a 16-yard touchdown before the end of the third quarter, but 63-40 was as close as Middlesboro would get and Pikeville went on to the 31-point win.
Pikeville (5-1) had an open date next week and will host South Floyd on Oct. 11. Middlesboro (4-1) host Union, Va., on Friday.

Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line, accented guitar or piano rhythms on the offbeat. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant musical genre of Jamaica, and it was also popular with British mods. Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three periods: the original Jamaican ska scene of the 1960s, the 2 Tone ska revival that started in England in the late 1970s, and the third wave ska movement, which started in the 1980s.

Dont know about the free shipping only on the next 3 days
Thread: Order Mugler Pure Havane Now!!!!
I just received an email from Theirry Mugler for this link to order Pure Havane with free shipping:
My order has been placed and the prerelease offer with free shipping is good for the next three days. Get it while its hot and let the madness begin Here's hoping for 80 bucks well spent.
Edit: Looks like this got scooped yesterday as someone stumbled upon this page in a search on Mugler's website. Free shipping and your choice of 3 free samples may be the only news I have to add

Dont know about the free shipping only on the next 3 days
According to the special offer email I received from being a member of Mugler's circle this morning, it is shipped free and available only for the next 3 days. If you dont order during that time you will have to wait for the official release which I understand to be in May according to Grant. I also read a post that a Nordstroms rep said it would be available on the 14th of Feb in store so I don't know. My order shipped free. This free shipping link is likely only for USA customers unfortunately, though perhaps those who live elsewhere and are members of Mugler's circle have received or will receive emails for with links for their markets.

Mine ships today. I have my tracking number. I don't know where it's shipping from, but it's estimated to be delivered on Thursday.
If anyone doesn't want to deal with the onslaught of all the reviews, hype, discussion, hysteria over Pure Havane, this weekend might be a good time to take a little vacation from Basenotes, because it might get a little smoky in here...
OMG OMG who has smelled it?! We need passionate and conflicting full reports, stat!!!
Have fun guys!
"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
Shipping Confirmation received today as well as a FedEx tracking number.
my fedex tracking says ill get it on the 12th .. nice
Well, it looks like they've already sold out!!! Better luck next time, guys.
What is the special gift from the second order from mugler.com?
i receive the email also.. but they can't shipped it to me since they don't do international shipment.. anyone here cares to help me?
Mine should arrive tomorrow according to Fedex
Does any of you, who just ordered Pure Havane, also has Tobacco Vanille? Would love to hear a first impression and comparison between the two.
Not a fan of Tobacco Vanille. The Tobacco top notes are too strong for me, very stinky. Decent dry down and a weird smelling vanilla. Hard to wear fragrance. I have a feeling A*men will balance the Tobacco nicely
Damnit....you guys convinced me. Ordered!!
I just ignored my email this morning like most emails from Thierry Mugler. So thank you for posting this, otherwise I might have missed it.

I've just received the email this morning too and they sold me at honeyed tobacco but since I'm not a fan of Pure Malt as well as patchouli, I think I'll wait for the reviews then make my decision.
I am not normally a fan of Mugler fragrances, but I can patiently wait until I travel to Singapore so hopefully it will be available for sample by then.
Just received the Fedex tracking number too!
Ah, and the 2nd order gift is a fragrance miniature (not sample). A angel (woman) flanker it seems.
Woo just got my fedex tracking also, lemme see what samples show up ummm.... Shooting Star, Womanity, and Metal Reflexion never heard of that last one will have to look that up.
Perfume is like cocktails without the hangover, like chocolate without the calories, like an affair without tears, like a vacation from which you never have to come back.
yeah metal reflexion is just A*Men in a metal refillable flask rather than the rubber flask. Don't know how they would send that out as a sample.
yea I just picked 3 of the 5 listed but they came out as different names on the shipping I guess, no biggie really. That would rock if they were out of a*men samples and just sent me a big full metal flask, no complaint there! I still don't have a full bottle of A*men yet but it's on the list, love the soap.
Perfume is like cocktails without the hangover, like chocolate without the calories, like an affair without tears, like a vacation from which you never have to come back.
So my Pure Havane just came via Fedex. First thoughts. It is probably the best smelling and most wearable A*Men fragrance to me. If not, one of the best fragrances I have smelled. I could even wear this to work, during the day, or a night out. It is not cloying, and can be warn in all four seasons, especially the summer. Definitely more pleasant than A*Men, Pure Malt, and Pure Coffee. A Very fresh fragrance, the tobacco is extremely well done, and not overpowering tobacco. It is sweet, but not too sweet, done just right. 10 times better than Tobacco Vanille. The Vanilla note is not weird like Tobacco Vanille. Pure Havane is a sweet fresh honey Tobacco. I sprayed Tobacco Vanille on one hand, and Pure Havane on the other, then New Haarlem on my forearm. For some reason I smelled a hint of New Haarlem chocolate note. I thought New Haarlem was my signature scent, NOT ANYMORE!! I have never smelled anything like it, I can't stop smelling my hand. I say definitely blind buy this frag, it will be in your Top 3 quickly. If you thought Pure Malt or A*Men was overpowering and cloying at times, Pure Havane is wonderful, you can wear it at anytime. This kills my Niche's. Mugler finally perfected A*Men. OMG, I'm loving it! It is a very Sexy scent, definite Panty dropper!

I would say it is less sweeter than both New Haarlem (meant to be sweet) and Tobacco Vanille (a weird sweetness to me). You smell a sweetness there, but the Honey Tobacco makes it more pleasant. People who dislike sweet fragrances like New Haarlem, Rochas Man, 1 million, will love this fragrance. There is a difference between candy sweet, and masculine sweetness that is done right and not over the top.
Now, would you ascribe any of the "fresh" tags, I mentioned in my previous post quoting you, to your description of Pure Havane being "fresh" ?

I was kidding before about the online boutique being sold out, but I don't see it available on the Mugler site anymore. Strange. The first time I found Pure Havane on the Mugler site I found it not by going to the site, but through a backdoor of sorts-- when I googled "Pure Havane Mugler" one of the searches went to the page on the site where it was available. When I tried just going to the Mugler site on its own, I couldn't find any trace of Pure Havane--even by going to the site and typing "Pure Havane" into the search box.
Then, after I ordered mine, the next day I found that one could find Pure Havane by just going to the Mugler site and clicking on "What's New". Now, it isn't there anymore. I guess maybe they're not selling any more until the official release date. Kind of a strange way to roll out a new limited edition scent. It was barely promoted on their site and difficult to find. I wonder if it was made available too early on their website by some glitch, and I managed to order one and mentioned it here, prompting an avalanche of other people to place orders, so they just went ahead and shipped them. (probably not, but that would be kind of cool!) It looks like all mention of it has been pulled from their site at the moment. The only "Limited Edition" mentioned is Pure Malt, though it's not for sale there either.
I mean-- if they wanted to run a 3-day sale or something like that, one would think they would have promoted it somehow or mentioned it specifically. Weird but I'm not complaining. I guess I'll find out when the fedex guy comes later. Like I said before, if it's anywhere near as good as Pure Malt, I'm going to be impressed. I can't wait for the first spritz...
Yes the link I posted as the OP above still works but today is the last day. The early promotion was a reward to mugler circle members. Of course the link worked for everyone but it was advertised to circle members in an email.
Got my bottled this morning.
First post btw.....Hi all.
I by no means am a fragrance expert. only been at it for a 5 months or so. First impressions are... "wow, cigars!" by cigars i mean, fresh from the humidor, unsmoked cigars. the opening is pure malt overwhelmed with cigar tobacco. it is a little to much tobacco for me....and it more tolerable in the dry down.
would i have bought this after smelling a sample? - No. It is not bad juice by any means...it just isn't rocking my world. Granted, Pure Malt didn't rock my world at first either, but after some time with it, it is now my absolute favorite.
so....first impressions to me are...."why did i blind buy this...grrrr"
i'll give it a week...and see what i think.
If anyone has a bottled of Pure Coffee they want to trade....I'll jump on that one ASAP.
only 3 sprays out of my Pure Havane so far. and the Mugler Circle Code hasn't been used.
edit: I haven't smelled Tom Fords TV, or any other tobacco based fragrances, so i can't compare it to anything.
I must add, this is very unique. They did exactly what they set out to do - Create an A*men flanker that smells exactly like fine cigars. it is growing on me from wrist sniff to sniff. good stuff.

Wich one is more potent, pure malt or pure havanne?
i wrote a review....its waiting for admin to approve.
Last edited by Dark Caesar; 10th February 2011 at 05:21 PM.
ahhh...wrote a post then it disappeared.
anyway, it is a pleasing aroma, i can differentiate the goodness from the feeling to want to vomit. lol....guess my smell associating with taste is ruining it for me.
in my review waiting to be approved:
"It smells like someone mopped the floor of a fine cigar humidor with a toned down Pure Malt. (minus the cedar smell from the cigar boxes) This humidor also doubles as an apiary to a special kind of bee that makes mildly sweet vanilla honey."
lol....how does that sound? you think i wouldn't want to vomit to something that smells like that! haha.
Okay...after a little more time with this. I'm sold. the dry down is amazing. the honey and vanilla really come into play about 20 minutes into the dry down. great fragrance.
and i agree now.....it is less potent than pure malt.
Whatta shame, pure malt is soooooo weak...
I wanted this one potent as hell, for the resemblance of Tobacco Vanille...
Whatta shame!
My friend think is weak too.
We get it from fragrancenet. The second batch

07.10.07 - By Craig Mastendri, photo by Naoki Fukuda-- The rumors, the build up, and the hype disappeared. Manny Pacquiao, decidedly remained after 12 rounds of boxing action! The Judges cards, were 118-109, 118-109, and 115-112. My scorecard was 117-110 in favor of Pacquiao, its very hard to see scoring rounds Six through Twelve, any other way, than Mannys way. Despite getting off to a slow start, he warmed into action, and delivered the vintage Buzz Saw attack, that the Philippine Super Star is known for. Hand speed, power stamina, and determination are still included in the Trade Mark Routine.
Pacquiao, overcame a technically consistent, Cautious pace, jab, counter right hand attack that favored Barrera, in the first few rounds. A round of rust, a round of warm up, and a round of getting tested, delivered the awakening. Manny began applying swarming, aggressive, fiery, and accurate pressure with the straight left hand. He steam rolled a steady performance by MAB! The entire second half of the fight was one sided for the Pac Man.
Barerra, performed admirably! He acquitted himself far better than he did in the first fight. MAB can most certainly hold his head up at the end of a HOF career, 63-6-42 KOs. While he was able to compete in the beginning, he didnt have enough to keep pace or take it over the top. It wasnt the type of performances that he put forth vs Morales in his prime. There wasnt enough left in the tank, to take it to War, when he needed to. True Champion, true warrior, and true winner in the sport.
If, Juan Manuel gets through his scheduled bout with Rocky Juarez? The rematch of Pacquiao vs Marquez must happen to establish whom the real Champion in the super featherweight division. If tonight was ant indication? Manny Pacquiao can raise his profile much farther.
Steven Luevano upped his record to 34-1 with 15 KOs by completely out boxing Antonio Davis who dropped to 24-4 in a unanimous decision and defense of Luevanos WBO Title. Leuvano is a converted southpaw who delivered a complete boxing performance, inside out. Good jab, combos, defense, and patience, measured and pummeled Davis as it went on.. He scored a knockdown towards the end of round eleven, and did painful body work in the twelfth. The judges cards were 119-108, 119-108, 118-109. With this victory, Luevano has put himself among the top of the division. Chris John, In Jin Chi, and Jorge Linares would make great opponents, especially Linares! Thats a sizzling match of styles that should make for great action, volume, and defense.
Librado Andrade moved to 26-1 with 20 KOs by seventh round TKO over Yusef Mack. Mack had some moments early and caught Andrade with flush shots but seemingly got caught up in exchanging. Andrades difference in volume eventually set in on Mack, producing three knockdowns, and a stoppage at two minutes and thirty four seconds of the Seventh round.
Steve Two Pound Forbes managed to squeeze out a twelve round Split decision victory over Francisco Bojado in the first fight of the evening. Forbes maintained a steady, relaxed performance, while Bojado gave his best effort in some time. In the end it came down to volume vs accuracy and Forbes got the nod, in a close contest. The judges cards where 97-93 and 96-94 for Forbes and 96-94 for Bojado.
