The article outlines in detail the surveillance techniques and appropriate monitoring intervals for endometrial, ovarian, nonepithelial ovarian, cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancers. In some cases, certain techniques have been found ineffective in detecting recurrence and are discouraged in the recommendations. Patients should be counseled on the benefits and pitfalls of disease monitoring, which should include the psychologic impact of surveillance programs.
Coordination of care between gynecologic oncologists, primary care providers, other healthcare providers (such as radiation oncologists), and patients ideally will allow for compliance with cancer follow-up care and routine health maintenance. However, the Committee notes that as survivors are transitioned from oncology care to primary care, primary care providers may not be trained to deal with specific follow-up needs or practice standards for patients with cancer. The information in this clinical document is intended to help bridge that gap. The provision of a clear understanding of recommendations and responsibilities of appropriate surveillance will reduce unnecessary tests, ultimately result in cost savings, and better, earlier detection of disease recurrence.

5-year-old kept from One Voice cast because parents aren't married
To The Daily Sun,
I am writing this letter in complete disbelief that in this day and age, something like this would be happening. But it is, and because I believe in standing up for what is right, and for being a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves, I am submitting this letter.
A few weeks ago, a sweet little 5-year-old boy told his mom that he really wanted to be part of the One Voice program that performs every year, usually at Christmas and Easter. This little guy loves Jesus, and he will tell you that. He absolutely loves Christmas and the true meaning of it. He attends a Christian school and goes to Sunday School at Grace Capital Church here in Laconia. So, after auditioning he was told he could join. Proud as a peacock he was, so excited he was "doing something for Jesus" and something he loves. He learned just about every song, every word. He listened to that CD every time they got in the car.
Last week, after practice, his mom was taken to a little room with One Voice directors. They blindsided this very proud mom, who happens to be the most attentive, loving, "put the Lord first" mom I know, by telling her that her son would not be allowed to be a part of this (Christian-based) program. These parents, by the way, love each other very much. They've been together over eight years, own a home, work in the community, and are good people. It's a miracle their first son even survived a traumatic beginning of his life. They've been through a lot, but it's only made them stronger. Anyway, the reason they will not let this little guy sing is because the parents are not married.
Mom was told parents must be with the younger children backstage and (I quote) "We cannot possibly let you go back stage with the married mothers." WHAT? And, when it was suggested that someone else be in charge of him in order to practice, she was told "we cannot do that, because if someone recognizes him from the audience and know their living situation it will taint their image." I think this has tainted their image.
I'm very disturbed for two reasons. The heart of this little boy is so joyful and innocent, it saddens me that he is being rejected by people who claim to serve the Lord. I do not in any way want this letter to reflect poorly on the church as a whole. This is the work of a few, who are taking what they believe and making it law. The will not respond in anyway to phone calls or letters written, stating only that it is " a private matter." Only private because they know it will cause outrage in Christians and non-Christians alike. I cannot allow it to be "private" because not only is it unjust, but it is discriminatory and wrong. We are talking about a little boy. A child of God. And though I could throw many scriptures in here, I won't. I will only say that God says in his word, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
I'm sure this grieves His heart as it does ours.
I and many, many people will not be attending this program. It does not exude God's grace and mercy. To the directors, who took their convictions or what they think is right, without being fair (how about asking the married mom's backstage how they feel. I dare say they wouldn't dare), I will only say this: When you stand before the Lord, which we all will one day, you will have to give an account for your words and actions. Maybe your little program will go on with many in attendance, but you yourselves have already tainted the message. Jesus is all about forgiveness and not judging others. He says, "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God."
We are called to love. You have not done the one thing he asks of you. I believe all things happen for a reason, and what we do with what's been handed to us is what matters. The little guy you've rejected? He'll be just fine because he has a family who lives him tremendously and a God, who has promised good to him.
All I can even think to say to you ladies, is shame on you. Shame on you for taking a gift that God gave you in being able to direct something that could/would glorify Him, and making it all about you and what you feel is right.
I think if the community as a whole understood what you have done, they wouldn't make an effort to see this program. Because you've taken something that was his, and made it your own.

Don't waste vote on Librertarian mystery man; write my name in
To The Daily Sun,
Where is Bob Hull?
Robert Hull (Libertarian), who ran under the Republican ticket, had bought his votes through advertising, is hiding somewhere. Hull spent $7,000 in advertising to buy 500 votes from Republicans who "bought a product without ever seeing it," from the five towns in lower Grafton County and nobody even knows what he stands for. The Republican Party doesn't know where he is. Even after his victory in the Primary, Hull still has not reached out the party.
So who is this famous vote-getter that no one has met? He is yet to get on the agenda for the selectboards in Ashland, Alexandra, Bridgewater and Bristol, to introduce himself. In fact out of the eight candidates (six were from the town of Grafton) for Districts 9 and floterial 17, all these selectboards have been seeing at their regular meetings to date, is me.
Introducing yourself to local government shows that you are willing to step up to take on the responsibility of proper chain-of-command representation for your district to Concord and County. Introducing yourself and listening to your constituents will give you an idea on how to represent your district and how to vote in Concord. Mr. Hull, why are you hiding from your local government officials? What is it that you hope to accomplish for your constituents, whoever they are? Are you going to ignore all of your constituents for the next two years while you sponge a seat in the House?
The only thing I know for sure about Mr. Hull is that he lives at 12 Liberty Lane in Grafton with eight, or 10, or 20 other people who use that address for voter registration. Tim Condon who challenged Jeanie Forrester for State Senate District 2 is also listed at that same address. Condon moved from Florida to New Hampshire for the Free State Project and founded the now defunct, New Hampshire Legal Rights Foundation with Bill O'Brien former speaker of the House. Condon and O'Brien were attorneys in a lawsuit against Grafton County brought by Hull, that delayed the construction of the new county jail. Is Hull on his way to Concord with the hopes of delaying more state jobs? Mr. Hull, what kind of delegate will you be to Grafton County, for District 9, now that you have tried to sue the county?
This gets even better, on Sept.15 the Grafton county GOP had a convention and Tim Condon who lost to Jeanie Forrester, showed up to announce Bob Hull. Is Condon going to show up in Concord to be sworn in for Hull, too? Does Hull even exist? It's apparent that Hull wants nothing to do with the Republican Party or our government, or you. Do you think that this kind of irresponsible behavior is worthy of your vote?
The Attorney General has an ongoing investigation, which began in 2013, into voter fraud concerning on all the people who are supposed to live at 12 Liberty Lane. As of Aug. 27, there are a reported 10 registered voters using that address.
I know Hull is a free-stater (Libertarian) who would like to do away with the U.S. Constitution, the same Constitution I had held up my right hand and sworn an oath to defend, both foreign and domestic, when I joined the Navy. I have served five tours to the Middle East, and I refuse to stand by while people are willing to vote someone into office, who would threaten what all of us veterans had sworn to defend. None of us should stand by.
So this sounds like sour grapes from the guy who lost his bid for the Primary. I would not mind If I had lost to someone who would do the better job. I'd even endorse that person. But with the ongoing absence of Hull refusing to make contact with anyone in this district, and why he wants the House seat so badly that he spent $7,000 for, it leaves me feeling dismayed that I will not have the opportunity to represent the good people that I was ready to take on the responsibility of representing in this district, who deserve common-sense, true representation, not irresponsible behavior.
If advertising is all people want to use to elect state legislators then 2016 is right around the corner. What a way to win a vote.
If you feel that you would like to see a representative who is willing to work for your best interest 24/7, willing to meet and greet, willing to answer the phone, than write me in on Nov. 4. I am prepared to take on the job of bringing information back from Concord to the local elected officials and take the needs of my constituents back down to Concord. The job of state representative is not a part-time job and I will not treat It as such.
We have some major issues confronting us in this state: finances, jobs/economy, business regulatory environment, health care, education, state retirement system, right-to-work, Common Core, dedicated fund raiding, just to name a few. We need responsible people with the passion to resolve these issues.
I will uphold that responsibility. I will not shun or hide from my constituents. Don't let Grafton county become a Libertarian Free State. Don't waste your vote on a Libertarian mystery candidate.

If elected to represent Gilford & Meredith, I will listen to all sides
To The Daily Sun,
As a candidate for the Statehouse to represent District 2, the towns of Gilford and Meredith, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you and to give some of my reasons for running for public office.
First of all, I believe in the importance of building strong communities and in participating in community activities. There are many ways to do this: Serving on the Budget Committee or Library Board, running a Little League sports program, volunteering at the school or helping to refurbish a warming hut, organizing fund-raisers or supervising beautification projects, participating in local theater or choral groups. New Hampshire towns are filled with people who willing give their time and talents to benefit their communities.
For the past 10 years, I have joined many of you in volunteering at the local library, the hospital, and the Belknap County House of Corrections. Like so many of you, I support the Lakes Region Singers and the Winnipesaukee Playhouse as well as the Streetcar Company in their efforts to bring quality programs and productions to our residents. And I have been privileged to be one of many CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for children who are in placement.
These are some of the ways that I have come to learn of the many issues that concern the citizens of District 2. I have also paid very close attention to the Belknap County Commission-Convention meetings and the general tone of mistrust that has dominated them. If elected, I promise to listen to all sides of an issue and to all the people that I will be privileged to represent.
Listening does not mean simply sitting politely while someone else is speaking, waiting your turn to voice what is on our mind or saying a dismissive "Thank you for your input." It means actually paying attention and seriously considering what someone else has said and then responding directly to it. It means having a genuine dialogue, and taking all voices and concerns into account to ensure that the best possible solutions to any issues are reached. All elected officials must be very aware that most of the people the represent will not have voted for them—either having voted for an opponent or not voted at all. Nevertheless state reps must represent and consider everyone, not just their supporters. We need to work together.
In the coming weeks I will be attending candidate forums, making phone calls and knocking on doors, hoping to meet you and asking you what your concerns are. I will also be writing additional letters outlining some of my positions. On Nov. 4, I ask you to vote for me, Dorothy Piquado, as well as for Lisa DiMartino, Nancy Frost, and Sandy Mucci.
Together we can continue to strengthen our wonderful community.
Dorothy Piquado

Rep. Glenn Cordelli is just one of those exceptional people
To The Daily Sun,
There are some people who run for and serve in public office for personal recognition or self aggrandizing opportunities. Other folks do it for the good it will bring to their business or personal enterprise. We have seen many of these characters in our years of observation, haven't we. However, once in a while someone comes along who actually has something to offer the public in the way of leadership, integrity, and a sense of respect for giving the public the best bang for their tax dollar possible.
Glenn Cordelli is one of those exceptional people. I have seen his participation at the oversight meetings dealing with the Carroll County mess. I receive communications from him with updates on state and local issues. Whether attending local board of selectmen's meetings or a meeting of the Carroll County Delegation and Commissioners, he comes prepared, ready to engage in the discussion, fully equipped to express his views and offer resolutions, often educating those who didn't come as prepared. The way a person presents themselves in public venues demonstrates whether they are present only to be seen or there to make a difference. Glenn makes a difference.
His hard work has been recognized nationally as being one of 21 legislators in 19 states in the Class of 2014 Emerging Leaders because of their "potential and ability they have shown to have an impact in their state..." Part of the criteria for this achievement is "... a strong commitment to ideas leading to more private-sector jobs and more effective government at lower costs." He has proven his innovation and tenacity by the bills he has sponsored. He has studied the subject, conferred with people related to the issue and comes prepared to offer his ideas for balancing spending with good results for his constituents.
If you are from Moultonborough, Tuftonboro or Sandwich I urge you to vote in November. And do yourself, your town, the county and the state a favor and vote to re-elect Glenn Cordelli.

While running as Democrat, Dawson fits few political stereotypes
To The Daily Sun,
Contrary to my usual practice, I am going to write a letter of support for a candidate who is not in my district and for whom I cannot vote. But I wish I could. I heartily support Dave Pollak's bid for office as County Commissioner from District 1, Laconia.
I have known Dave for years, both as a co-worker and as a personal friend. An ethical man of principle and brass-bound integrity, Dave never struck me as a "professional" politician. He is simply seeking to serve his community and to "make a difference." In fact, I was rather surprised when he told me he would be running for county commissioner. While I do not always agree with him, I have found him to be a person who will listen respectfully to anyone and can be counted upon to tell the truth.
Although today he is an educator, Dave will bring a wealth of other "real life" experience and knowledge to the office. He has been an attorney and the owner of a construction company. He chose education as another career because he believes in making a difference. He is very knowledgeable about the issues surrounding the Belknap County Jail. In addition to his regular job, he has participated in educational activities at the County Jail. He has also taught in the criminal justice program at Plymouth State University. He is respected by his students and colleagues. He has often taken a leadership role among his faculty colleagues and seeks to reach consensus with others.
While he is running as a Democrat, again, Dave fits few political stereotypes. He is logical and analytical. He is actually quite moderate on many issues and in any case, always seeks "common ground" with those who may disagree with him. Of course I encourage the Democrats in his district to come out and vote for him in November, but I would also encourage Republicans to vote for him or even write him in on the Republican ticket. I think he is a Democrat they would respect.

"We listen to your downloads every day, Aura (who is 6) & Neo (who is 4) & me (who is much older!) Love them both. Aura couldn't sleep last night as her back molars are coming through so she snuggled in with me & we put Sweet Meadowlark on & she settled straight away, I agree they are definitely like a great big hug! We listen to them at all kinds of times: when we are being creative, bedtime, bathtime, quiet time etc etc! Aura & Neo first heard Little White Feather at their tinies yoga class which they started earlier this year & our yoga teacher played the download during relaxation & they made a little tipi each. My first listen was when I had a massage treat & the holistic therapist (who is also our yoga teacher) asked if I would like to hear Little White Feather whilst having my massage! I found it very enjoyable & relaxing & knew Aura & Neo would love it too."(Dani Mitchell, UK)
"My son Lewis aged 9 listened to Little White Feather last night and LOVED it!!! He really enjoyed the part where the little white feather lands on the baby's head and also adored the wolf. It was certainly thumbs up from Lewis!" (Lindsay, UK)
"I've just listened to both downloads and they are absolutely enchanting. Your stories and the expressive way that you read them truly touch the heart - you are blessed with such a blissfully loving voice."(Andrea, UK)

Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
Clark Squirrel Special Ruger 10/22. Jim Clark made this gun in 1993 for my father. Excellent condition. It has maybe had 1000 shots fired through it in all of this time. It has a 16 1/4" fluted blued barrel, a custom adjusted trigger job,extended magazine release, Leupold scope base, Tasco 4-16 power scope that turns smoothly, unlike most tasco scopes that I have seen. It has a thumb-hole stock and the original unused stock. It has two 10 round magazines and an Adco magazine loader. This rifle is extremely accurate, it will shoot groups of less than 1/4" at 50 yards all day long and usually is capable of 1/2" groups at 100 yards, of course, with the right ammo. It is a fine shooter. I have even used it for benchrest competition and won(many times) over many specially built 22 rifles. My photos do not do this rifle justice, it is a really great gun. I have recently seen similar rifles selling for twice this price online, so decided to start at one half those prices. I didn't want to sell this rifle, but due to circumstances beyond my control(heating fuel prices), it is up for auction.

AT&T Developer Program
Friday, November 8, 2013 at 6:00 PM - Saturday, November 9, 2013 at 9:00 PM (PST)
Have a talent for coding? Want to create a mobile application to help your community and the environment? Join AT&T and San Diego Gas & Electric® for an Energy Awareness Hackathon to develop apps that will reduce energy use for San Diego and beyond.
In 2011, the White House called on utilities through the country to provide customers with easy access to their energy usage data. Over the last year and a half, over 60 applications have been created to give consumers control of their data. However, there is much more that can be done. See what you can create to help conserve energy and decrease consumers' bills by pairing the SDG&E Green Button data with AT&T mobile APIs like location and SMS. Over $10,000 in prize money is on the line.
This event is designed for attendees (technical & non-technical) to build apps/mobile apps, get fed, compete for prizes across different categories and most importantly: meet new people and scout for teammates to work on new or current projects. Our hackathon will introduce you to the latest cutting edge tools to help deploy your own app with a website backend, fully hosted in the cloud.
As far as platforms are concerned, feel free to code in the language you feel most comfortable, whether it's Objective C, Java, Javascript, HTML, C #, Dot Net, or XNA. The AT&T Developer Program and SDG&E Green Button Connect team will be onsite to help you throughout the Hackathon, and speakers will include local developers who have used Green Button in the past.
Event Schedule. The following is a list of the weekends agenda:
Prizes. The following prizes are experiential and geared towards accelerating you towards a successful business as well as expanding your network and industry knowledge:
Judging Criteria. Apps will be judged based on the criteria below and weighted accordingly. In addition all apps must leverage Green Button Connect My Data to be eligible for prizes.

How I spent my Canada Day long weekend
Here it is, my first RR posted for you all.
I know from reading lots of RR's this is a popular type of RR- here's a teaser while I start typing up the rest.
So here's a little back story:
Actually a typical back story that many of you have heard before or perhaps even lived.
Rode early, started on dirt bikes, moved in to street. Succumbed to the pressures of raising a family and making a career and gave up riding for too long. Kids got older but the flame still burned, so back in to riding. And loving it.
Enough of that crap. Let's get to the meat of the story.
Mrs. Squiffy knows I'm thinking of a different bike. I've done my research and have a good idea of what I'm looking for. I understand what to look for and what to avoid. And I'm picky. I've looked at a few locally, and keep showing Mrs. Squiffy the jewels from the FM. Most are in the U.S. and although I can import in to Canuckistan fairly easily, the logistics of distance and time make it difficult. Then I find another gem in the FM, and it's in Canada! PM's and emails ensue. Yes, it's the right bike. Yes, the price is right. Yes, I can get a half decent flight price to go get it. Yes, I can get the time off work. YES!!!
Better yet, it's in Nanaimo BC. I can fly from Regina SK, stay with my Mom in Victoria and her and my sister will drive me up to Nanaimo to pick up the bike!
That's right, it's a Fly and Ride Ride Report!
Well, maybe not.
Just kidding, the flight was slightly delayed and there were no issues with the connecting flight.
Booked off work early on the Friday and headed to Victoria BC via Edmonton AB.
Some great views of the Rockies but cloudy over most of BC.
Landed on time and met by my Mom and sister- haven't seen them in about 3 years so it was great to get together.
First order of business? Beer and food. In that order. Stopped at the local near Mom's house where we had a nice meal and a chat. Sorry no food pron, I'll make up for it later. That's it for day 1.
Day 2. The day.
We left around 9:30, and we took the new road that runs from around Durrance Lake and comes out at Goldstream Park. You Victoria and lower VI riders will know which one. All I kept saying was "I wish I was on a bike!"
Found Gary's place (I can't remember his ADV handle) and he opened up the big garage door. There it was! Do I look happy or what?
It's a beaut!
We did all the paperwork, got my temporary insurance, ATGATT'd up and headed out.
First stop? Beer and food. In that order. My escorts decided that we should meet at the Crow & Gate Pub for a celebratory lunch. No that's not a postcard, that's exactly how it looks.
But I'm riding so I figured a big lunch and just 1 beer to celebrate. I made it Guinness which really isn't beer but the nectar of the Gods. Obligatory food pron! Plowman's lunch with a big hunk of Stilton cheese. Yum!
At one point I went outside and when I didn't come back the search party came looking for me. The owner of the R100GS I parked beside was at his bike and we were talking. Turns out he's inmate JackD, who has forgotten the ADV salute and has resorted to giving bear hugs. Somebody out there straighten him out! (Hi Jack :wink:)
Back to Victoria safely with another big couple of days to go.
Good start, man! And fine motorcycle.
The Crow and Gate is a fine traditional house to lunch at.
Where are you planning to get thru the coast mountains? Hurley pass out of Pemberton is apparently still open: http://hurleydust.com/
Tyax Lodge on the east side of Hurley has a pretty good restarant, too. 40 more miles and you are in Lillooet, and the balmy interior.
Edit: wait, I see you are probably back home already...
Day 3. The journey home Part 1.
What a beautiful morning. The weather is calling for sunny and warm all the way home.
Kickstand up at 6:03 am and off to the ferry terminal for first boat across.
Quite a few bikes on board, caught up with some beemer riders and had a nice chat on the upper deck.
Not often you see the crossing this smooth.
You can get a healthy breakfast on board, but it doesn't look that great.
Off through the Fraser Valley and up the Coquihalla. I went the other way.
Joined the number 1 and headed towards Calgary. I have lots more pics but most of them have a thumb in them.
And at that point the battery in the camera dies. I was hoping to get pictures of Cougar Creek in Canmore AB where the flood went through.
But imagine this: The creekbed must have been 200' wide where it used to be 10'. There were no dirt or stones or small rocks. Just big rocks. 6" round and bigger. Everything else smaller than that went downstream. It was a mess.
Overnighted at my brother's place in Airdrie with beer and food. In that order.
Day 4. The journey home Part 2.
Not much to report. The #1 Trans Canada Highway should be avoided while travelling between Calgary and Regina. 8 hours of boring slab highway, so no pics of that.
But here's a pic of a giant moose!
Made it home safely. Thanks for reading my weak first ride report.
Hey, great fly and ride there, friend! There's lots of wicked riding out west in this country. Heck, we've got lots of amazing riding in our province! The number 1 from Calgary to Regina is, as you say, not much to see, but you can make time on it if you need. Looks like you were cruising in in style at least.
Thanks for the link and read!
Looks like a fun ride. The ferry experience is pretty cool when on a bike.
Thanks for sharing!
is it customary for the bikes on the ferry not to be tied down in any way?
Same to you. Which one are you riding more?

BOSTON -- If Doc Rivers had his druthers, his team wouldn't be blowing double-digit leads, which the Boston Celtics have done in each of the past three games, all at home. But coming out on top in all three, which has run the team's winning streak to six games, makes it a little easier for the coach to accept. "You always don't like it," Rivers said after the Celtics blew an 18-point, second-quarter lead before regaining control to beat the lowly Charlotte Hornets 100-89 Monday night. "Tonight was a definite let-up. ... "But the other teams are NBA teams, and they're going to keep fighting and making shots, and when they do ... it's nice that we can catch it instead of losing those leads and then losing the game." Playing the third game of a season-high, five-game homestand, the Celtics (20-17) got Rajon Rondo's third triple-double of the season and the 26th of his career to move to three games over .500, matching their best mark of the season. The Celtics used a 9-0 run i...

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Zipper Town Rain Boots The rain boots are of high quality. My husband loves them! cynthia m thomas - January 15, 2009 (Brownsburg, IN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit totes boot I actually bought these boots to wear over dress shoes. I never expected to find them on a motorcycle site. I do ride a motorcycle, I personally would not use these boots as rain boots on a bike. They are only about 6" high and loose at the top. They would quickly fill with water unless you duct taped them to your leg. Even pulling your rain pants over them would be hard because they are so short. There is no way they would keep your feet dry while riding. Jim - January 08, 2009 (Downers Grove, IL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Totes Boots I cannot comment on durability yet. These boots fit nicely over my riding boots. This was a concern as I wear cowboy boot style boots. They could be a tad higher since rain pants have a tendency to creep up the leg allowing water in, or water will run down the rain pants into or onto the boots, eventually soaking through and causing wet feet from the top. So far, I would definitely buy these boots again. Good value for the $$. James E. Stark - November 13, 2008 (Golden, CO) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Totes Town Boots They are my favorite, although I wish that they were more durable. I buy a new pair every year. Motorcycle-superstore has great service. Ed Gross - November 12, 2008 (NY, NY) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Basic rubber boots I have only used these once and they worked fine. These are basic rubber boot. The rubber is thick enough that it will work well for years to come. One thing to remember about rubber is to store it in a dark place. UV light breaks down rubber and will shorten its life. With a little care, these will come in handy for the next 10 years or so. The size was true. Rob Hansen - August 27, 2008 (Muskegon, MI) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit title is descriptive enough Have not been used in rain yet. They are light weight and easy to put on. Gerard Gully - August 13, 2008 (Stanhope, NJ) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Totes rain boots Boots functioned as desired. Bought them for my wife who wears a woman's size 7. These were men's size 6-7, which means they were too large but still worked if she shuffled her feet when she walked. The zipper worked good and she had to wear them on our ride in British Columbia, they worked good. Charles K Finley - July 07, 2008 (Marietta, GA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Totes Town boots I wear them to do all of my sloppy spring / summer & winter chores. They allow me to wear my favorite shoes & protect them & my feet at the same time. *Although I do wish that they were more durable. I have used them for years & am very VERY pleased with the service that I have received from The Motorcycle Superstore & look forward to my next purchase. Edward Gross - January 14, 2008 (West Hempstead, NY) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Totes Boots These are great boots for those snowy days. Easy to put on and take off and they don't pickup the snow. Dirt and debris come off easily. Buy a larger size so they will fit over you other shoes easily. Ralph M. - January 14, 2008 (Dayton, OH) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Totes Zipper Town Boot I recently purchased a pair and had to return them for a larger size. You should order one size larger then your shoe size. I wear a size 8 or 8.5 shoe and the 7.5-8.5 rain boot would not fit over my riding shoes. Otherwise, I'd recommend them. Robert Scott - August 09, 2007 (Dayton, TN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Zipper Town Boot A decent packable boot for the price, but you definitely have to size up to get them on your feet. James - August 09, 2007 (TAMPA, OH) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit great boots if you like wet feet. I got these totes a few months ago. But it has been unusually dry here in California this winter. Last week was the first time they really got a test. When I got to work, my left shoe and sock were soaked and there was a pool of water inside the boot.I dried it out and tested for any holes. My pants cuffs were dry so the only possible place for wather to get inside is through the zipper.These boots do not have an expandable shield behind the zipper. I have had another pair of totes in the p Tom - August 09, 2007 (san carlos, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Zipper Town Boots Looking for fashion? Well, forget it. But who cares, it's raining and the road calls. Easy to store, keeps my feet dry and reminds me of the old style galosh. A good value, thanks! Iris - August 09, 2007 (San Francisco, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit I like 'em I don't have a motorcycle, but use these with my bicycle rain gear, and also for walking in moderate snows. Even the largest size doesn't fit over my size 13 boots running shoes, so take along less padded shoes also. They wear well and are convenient to carry - just the thing when a heavy boot is too much. Mark Foecking - August 09, 2007 (Columbia, IL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Zipper Town Boot These are convenient and compact and designed to be worn over your shoes. They are light weight and easily folded or rolled up for storage. Be sure to order the next size larger than your shoe size would indicate by the chart, or you'll have a hard time getting them over your wet shoes. I recently bought a second pair as the first ones gave out after 20 years.

More than 60 advertisers have reportedly dropped their ads from Glenn Beck's Fox News program since he called President Obama a "racist" who has a "deep-seated hatred of white people." Here are his September 30 sponsors, in the order they appeared:
* Correction: Media Matters incorrectly identified this advertiser as GFI. We regret the error.
From the September 30 broadcast of United Stations Radio Networks' The Lou Dobbs Show:
Loading the player reg...
Conservative media have suggested or claimed that President Obama is advocating for Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics in order to return political favors to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley or forward the financial interests of other "Chicago pals." For instance, Glenn Beck advanced baseless speculation that Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett "may personally benefit" from the Olympics, and Michelle Malkin wrote that Daley "cronies" in Obama's circle are "returning the favor for their hometown boss" by pushing for the Chicago Olympics.
Yesterday, we highlighted a Newsmax column by John L. Perry essentially advocating a military coup to resolve the "Obama problem" (while, of course, claiming he was advocating no such thing). It's just the latest example of extreme right-wing rhetoric directed at President Obama.
Now, it appears that Newsmax has removed the column from its website; the link to it defaults to Perry's main column page. Fortunately, we made a copy.
As of this writing, Newsmax has posted no explanation or apology on its website -- arguably par for the course for Newsmax when it gets caught screwing up. But Media Matters has received the following statement from a Newsmax spokesperson:
In a blog posting to Newsmax John Perry wrote about a coup scenario involving the U.S. military. He clearly stated that he was not advocating such a scenario but simply describing one.
After several reader complaints, Newsmax wanted to insure that this article was not misinterpreted. It was removed after a short period after being posted.
Newsmax strongly believes in the principles of Constitutional government and would never advocate or insinuate any suggestion of an activity that would undermine our democracy or democratic institutions.
Mr. Perry served as a political appointee in the Carter administration in HUD and FEMA. He has no official relationship with Newsmax other than as an unpaid blogger.
Interesting that Newsmax makes a point of highlighting that Perry worked in the Carter administration, as if it somehow proves he's not really a right-wing nut. And its dismissal of Perry as nothing more than an "unpaid blogger" is a tad disingenous since Perry has been writing for Newsmax since 1999 and Perry's Newsmax bio touts how he "contributes a regular column to NewsMax.com."
Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, and prominent conservative bloggers followed the lead of conservative website Breitbart.tv after the site falsely claimed that an online video showed community organizers from the Gamaliel Foundation "pray[ing]" to President Obama. Breitbart.tv subsequently updated the original post with an editor's note acknowledging that "there is a debate over what is actually being said" and that the crowd may, in fact, be saying "oh God" rather than "Obama"; the Gamaliel Foundation subsequently stated that "at no time have we prayed to President Obama" and that in the video, the organizers "can be heard saying, 'Hear our cry oh God,' 'Deliver us oh God,' etc."

From Rathke's September 29 post to his personal blog:
My "friends" on the right seem to be using me as a source for an attack at yet another new target: Patrick Gaspard, political director at the White House.
I have huge admiration for Patrick and have enjoyed my dealings with him over the years. In almost 1400 blogs I've done, sometimes I don't get it right, call it a senior moment or whatever it might be, but reading the blogsphere with me as a source took me back searching for whether or not I could be causing a problem here inadvertently. Patrick was never on the staff of ACORN. I double checked with people I still know there, and it appears that I dropped a stitch there. Hopefully my misstatement won't lead to the White House throwing him in front of the bus in this rush to neo-McCarthyism that has become so prominent. In this case, my memory tricked me. I'm glad to carry the weight and simply say I made a mistake, and damned if I'm not sorry and hope no damage is done to a good man doing a hard job.
MSNBC airs discredited allegation linking White House to ACORN
After Matthew Vadum wrote in The American Spectator that "[e]vidence shows that years before he joined the Obama administration," White House political affairs director Patrick Gaspard "was ACORN boss Bertha Lewis's political director in New York," Fox News seized on the blog post, asserting that -- in Sean Hannity's words -- "ACORN has somebody on the inside of the White House." However Politico's Ben Smith has since reported that the allegation "just isn't true" and that the White House has denied the American Spectator report; in its reporting, Fox News gave no indication that they attempted to fact-check the Spectator report or contact the White House for a response.
In recent days, Fox News hosts, contributors and guests have used President Obama's promotion of the United States bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics in Chicago as an excuse to attack him, while Michelle Malkin and Matt Drudge have baselessly linked the murder of a teenager in Chicago to the Olympic bid. Attacks on Obama's efforts include Sean Hannity saying that "it sounds" like Obama "is more concerned about bringing the Olympics to Chicago than winning the war in Afghanistan," Brent Bozell claiming Obama's trip to Copenhagen to promote the Chicago bid "is evidence that this man just cannot stay away from the klieg lights," and Bret Baier invoking the "carbon footprint" of Obama's trip to Copenhagen to smear the president.

TNC Presents Thunderbird American Indian Dancers' 38th Annual Dance Concert and Pow-Wow, Now thru 2/3
It's the 50th anniversary of the founding of Thunderbird American Indian Dancers and Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, will present the troupe in its 38th annual Dance Concert and Pow Wow from tonight, January 25 to February 3, 2013.
The troupe's appearances benefit college funds for needy Native American students. The company's Pow-Wows have been presented annually as a two-week event by TNC since 1976, with the box office donated to these funds. There will be dances, stories and traditional music from the Iroquois and Native Peoples of the Northwest Coast, the Southwest, the Plains, and the Arctic regions. Between 15 and 20 dancers will assemble for the event.
Highlights will include Storytelling by Matoka Eagle (Santo Domingo, Tewa), a Hoop Dance by Michael Taylor (Choctaw), a Caribou Dance (from the Inuit people of Alaska), a Buffalo Dance (from the Hopi people), a Grass Dance and Jingle Dress Dance (from the Northern Plains people), a Stomp Dance (from the Southeastern tribes), and a Shawl Dance (from the Oklahoma tribes). In the final section of the program, the audience will be invited to join in the Round Dance, a friendship dance.
After matinees, the cast will remain in the theater to personally meet the children attending and be photographed with them. This component of the show was inspired by the troupe's school residencies. Says Louis Mofsie, the Thunderbirds' artistic director, "Educators try to supplement the kids' knowledge of Native Americans and to teach them about different cultures. But the emphasis is on how we used to live, in the past tense. The kids are never taught how to relate to us in the present. Now they can meet us, and be photographed with us, and it's present tense. It's more than just seeing us on stage." He adds, "Learning about different cultures is important to enlarging the kids' perspective, particularly in light of what's going on in the world. We're in trouble today because we don't understand different cultures."
A Pow-Wow is more than just a spectator event: it is a joyous reunion for native peoples nationwide and an opportunity for the non-Indian community to voyage into the philosophy and beauty of Native culture. Traditionally a gathering and sharing of events, Pow-Wows have come to include spectacular dance competitions, exhibitions, and enjoyment of traditional foods.
Pageantry is an important component of the event, and all participants are elaborately dressed. Most dances are performed in the traditional Circle, which represents a unity of peoples. There is a wealth of cultural information encoded in the movements of each dance. More than ten distinct tribes will be represented in the performance.
Throughout the performance, all elements are explained in depth through detailed introductions by the troupe's Director and Emcee Louis Mofsie (Hopi/Winnebago). An educator, Mofsie plays an important part in the show by his ability to present a comprehensive view of native culture. Native American craft items will be displayed in the TNC lobby.
The Thunderbird American Indian Dancers are the oldest resident Native American dance company in New York. The troupe was founded in Brooklyn in 1963 by a group of ten Native American men and women, all New Yorkers, who were descended from Mohawk, Hopi, Winnebago and San Blas tribes. Prominent among the founders were Louis Mofsie (Hopi/Winnebago) and his sister, Josephine Mofsie (deceased), Rosemary Richmond (Mohawk), Muriel Miguel (Cuna/Rapahannock) and Jack Preston (Seneca, deceased). Some were in school at the time; all were "first generation," meaning that their parents had been born on reservations. They founded the troupe to keep alive the traditions, songs and dances they had learned from their parents, and added to their repertoire from other Native Americans living in New York and some who were passing through. Jack Preston taught the company its Iroquois dances, including the Robin Dance and Fish Dance. To these were added dances from the plains, including the Hopi Buffalo Dance, and newer dances including the Grass Dance and Jingle Dress Dance. The company was all-volunteer, a tradition that exists to today. Members range in professions from teachers to hospital patient advocates, tree surgeons and computer engineers. Now Louis Mofsie says, "To be going for 50 years is just amazing to me, and to be able to do the work we do."

Craig Leipold disappointed with Wild
Updated: April 15, 2011, 7:51 PM ETAssociated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Craig Leipold leaned back in his office chair and shook his head with a grimaced look, the frustration of missing the playoffs for a third straight year still fresh for the Minnesota Wild owner some four days after the season.
Leipold said he has a "lot of disappointment" and he's still trying to "come to grips" with the Wild's late collapse that sent them tumbling to 12th place in the Western Conference. They went 2-10-1 from March 10 through April 7.

The Power Tools would come into conflict with Battlestar when he meets his former business manager named Ethan Thurm inside a cheap motel. Battlestar noticed that Drill and the rest of the Power Tools had augmented strength but was forced to surrender when Jackhammer captured Ethan Thurm. The Power Tools placed their captives inside a van and took them to a warehouse in Los Angeles. Battlestar ended up shackled to adamantium cuffs in a room with other wrestlers including Red Zeppelin. The Power Tools were kidnapping former clients who went through the strength augmentation process provided by the Power Broker and Ethan Thurm was targeted because he had some wrestlers under his employ. Doctor Karl Malus was de-augmenting these subjects to help find a cure for Curtiss Jackson that was muscle bound and forced to wear a power harness. Battlestar's superhuman physique was taken away but he received some help from his partner, the US Agent when he discovered the hidden laboratory. Drill and the rest of the Power Tools engaged the US Agent in battle but they were easily defeated. Powers & AbilitiesDrill has augmented strength and stamina.

When the International Olympic Committee decides the site of the 2008 Summer Games on Friday, there will be much more at stake than the backdrop for an international sports tournament.
The city that wins will be guaranteed a boom in revenue — at least $1.2 billion from the sale of television rights and sponsorships alone, according to the IOC.
Plus, the chosen city will also benefit from the IOC's long-running sponsorship contracts with blue-chip companies like Coca-Cola, Kodak and McDonald's — deals that will guarantee around $300 million in revenue.
The decision also gives the chosen city a degree of global recognition, and may even represent a nod of acceptance from the rest of the world.
But even as tourists rush to their travel agents with their credit cards at the ready, few people understand how and why a certain city comes to be chosen.
It's a decision that involves dozens of members of an elite club, and considers everything from the candidate city's financial situation, to its traditions of "Olympism and Culture."
China's Singular Situation
The IOC says it evaluates 18 themes, which vary from the logistical, like transportation and security, to the subjective — plans for an Olympic village, for example.
Dan Doctoroff, the president of NYC2012, an organization working to bring the summer games to New York in 2012, says cities that have made it to the final vote typically have fulfilled the basic criteria to the satisfaction of the IOC.
They're largely eligible to host the Games, he says. It's a second dimension, whether or not they're right to host them, which makes them the choice of the IOC. And "there's no guidebook for that second dimension," he said.
"The IOC typically selects a city that it thinks will advance the various interests and ideals of the Olympic culture," he said. "It's the one opportunity the IOC has where the entire world watches and is present at the Games."
With Beijing considered the front-runner among candidates Toronto, Paris, Osaka in Japan and Istanbul, Turkey, one of those ideals likely to be in the spotlight is human rights. China has long been criticized for its practices, which were said to be one of the reasons it lost the 2000 Summer Games to Sydney.
Olympic sources say the IOC is attracted to the prospect of hosting the Games in China in 2008 because it would be the first such event in the world's most populous country, and such a move would appeal to Olympics' sponsors looking for new markets.
Outgoing IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch is also said to support Beijing, and even though he doesn't have a vote, his 21 years at the helm of the IOC is expected to translate into substantial influence.
On Tuesday, one of the leaders of the Sydney's 2000 bid accused the IOC of trying to "have a bit both ways."
"On the one hand … [the IOC] speaks on the floor of the United Nations, it wants to be a respected international body," Rod McGeogh told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio. "If you take that as the stand, then I just can't see how you can ignore the human rights issues in China and I can't see how the IOC could say, 'Well look, that's a domestic matter, it's of no concern to us.'"
Finishing First Counts for Something
Other cities derive confidence from other factors.

Look out for the Happy Howlers, Lime-Green Inferno, Marl's Gang and the sorority girls. There is more than just walking scheduled for Sunday's Multiple Sclerosis Walk on the Wellsville campus of Alfred State College.
There will be information and contest tables, especially for children and adults, along the one-mile route.
There will also be door prizes provided by local businesses and the team with the most walkers will win a gift certificate from Subway.
At the end of the walk, participants will dine on hot dogs, pasta salad and cookies while listening to the music of Flat Rate in the shade of the Activities Building on campus.
Chairman Diane Winans said there are 88 preregistered walkers, but people and teams will be able to register for the walk Sunday.
"We only require that they bring in sponsorships or donations. Buffalo has set our goal at $13,000 and I think it is doable," she said.
All money raised in the Wellsville MS Walk will go to the Buffalo office of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for programs and services serving the Southern Tier.
"Participants may walk the route as much as they want one, two three or five times around nd running is also allowed," Winans said.
"Come raise some money. Have some fun. Get the word out," she said.

Registration: 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Security wise is not very safe. Anyone with the code for the door can come in. There is no staff after 21:00. There is not much space for socializing, and kitchen is not well equipped to make meals. Bedroom has thin walls, but good beds and spacious. The location was pretty good too. Overall, would think twice before making a reservation.

Very good hostel with good staff, really I recommend. Just for the hostel improvements, no wifi in the rooms is not really practice! And also a bit humidity in the bathroom has to be cleaned second me. Except that, it was a cool stay.

REDEMPTION TRAIL Starring LILY RABE Out on VOD and DVD This August
A modern day Western, Redemption Trail tells a remarkable story of two powerful women fighting their demons and trying to redeem their pasts. The film will play at the Arena Cinema in Hollywood from June 27 - July 3, 2014. Breaking Glass Pictures will be releasing Redemption Trail on VOD (iTunes, iNDEMAND, Vubiquity) on July 8, 2014 and on DVD August 12, 2014.
Written and directed by Britta Sjogren, Redemption Trail stars Lily Rabe (All Good Things, "American Horror Story"), LisaGay Hamilton (Beloved, "The Practice"), Jake Weber (Dawn of the Dead, "Medium") and Hamish Linklater (Fantastic Four, "The New Adventures of Old Christine").
Redemption Trail is the story of two troubled women - Ana (Rabe) a successful doctor and Tess (Hamilton) a convicted felon - fighting to come to terms with their pasts. The two meet after Ana attempts suicide near a Sonoma vineyard where Tess lives detached from all connections. As Ana's husband David (Linklater) and Tess' employer (Weber) try to break through their walls, Ana and Tess form a bond, helping each other see a new vision of themselves. As they battle their demons and reclaim their freedom, the women learn to see themselves not only as survivors but also as heroes.
The film had its world premiere at the Mill Valley Film Festival in October 2013. Redemption Trail was filmed on location at Stubbs Vineyard, Marin County, Petaluma and Oakland, California.
