Transplantation of culture expanded bone marrow cells and platelet rich plasma in distraction osteogenesis of the long bones
ABSTRACT Longer treatment period in distraction osteogenesis (DO) leads to more frequent complications. We developed a new technique of transplantation of culture expanded bone marrow cells (BMC) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) in DO of the long bones. Retrospective comparative study was conducted between the bones treated with and without BMC and PRP in DO to assess the efficacy of this new technique of transplantation. Ninety-two bones (46 patients) that were lengthened in our hospital and followed up until removal of the pins were divided into two groups according to the cell (BMC+PRP) treatment. The BMC-PRP(+) group consisted of 32 bones (14 femora, 18 tibiae) in 17 patients (10 boys and 7 girls), while the BMC-PRP(-) group consisted of 60 bones (25 femora, 35 tibiae) in 29 patients (13 boys and 16 girls). The clinical outcome including the age at operation, amount of length gained, the healing index, the delay in consolidation, and complications were compared between the two groups. The healing between the femoral and the tibial lengthening was also assessed. The average age at operation was 15.8 years in the BMC-PRP(+) group and 15.5 years in the BMC-PRP(-) group. Although there were no significant differences in the age at operation and the length gained between the two groups, the average healing indices of the BMC-PRP(+) group in short stature and in limb length discrepancy were significantly lower than those of the BMC-PRP(-) group (P=0.0019 and P=0.0031, respectively). A delay in consolidation was seen in 45% of the BMC-PRP(-) group but never observed in the BMC-PRP(+) group (P<0.0001). The rate of complications was 23% of the BMC-PRP(-) group and only 6% of the BMC-PRP(+) group (P=0.0406). The femoral lengthening showed significantly faster healing than the tibial lengthening by the BMC and PRP transplantation (P=0.0004) In conclusion, transplantation of BMC and PRP shortened the treatment period and reduced associated complications by accelerating new bone formation in DO.

- "[55] [56] [57] [58] [59] [60]. Most of the clinical trials used autologous MSCs that were culture expanded [56] [57] or bone marrow aspirate, concentrated using centrifugation [60] [61]. Since MSCs were delivered with the intention to increase the pool of osteoprogenitor cells and not as agents to modulate immune cells, potential change induced by MSCs in the local microenvironment of immune cells was not considered in relation to bone healing. "
ABSTRACT: It is estimated that, of the 7.9 million fractures sustained in the United States each year, 5% to 20% result in delayed or impaired healing requiring therapeutic intervention. Following fracture injury, there is an initial inflammatory response that plays a crucial role in bone healing; however, prolonged inflammation is inhibitory for fracture repair. The precise spatial and temporal impact of immune cells and their cytokines on fracture healing remains obscure. Some cytokines are reported to be proosteogenic while others inhibit bone healing. Cell-based therapy utilizing mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is an attractive option for augmenting the fracture repair process. Osteoprogenitor MSCs not only differentiate into bone, but they also exert modulatory effects on immune cells via a variety of mechanisms. In this paper, we review the current literature on both in vitro and in vivo studies on the role of the immune system in fracture repair, the use of MSCs in the enhancement of fracture healing, and interactions between MSCs and immune cells. Insight into this paradigm can provide valuable clues in identifying cellular and noncellular targets that can potentially be modulated to enhance both natural bone healing and bone repair augmented by the exogenous addition of MSCs.Journal of Immunology Research 01/2015; 2015:1-17.

- "These various options were mainly experimented for bone tissue engineering, and gave interesting preliminary clinical results [104] [105] [106] [107] [108] [109] [110]. However several authors also noticed than the best results were always obtained when the platelet gel was reinforced with a fibrin glue [111] [112]: in these tissue engineering applications, the platelets and growth factors alone are not sufficient, the key role of the fibrin matrix as a biological binder and supporting scaffold was once again confirmed. "
Article: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF): surgical adjuvants, preparations for in situ regenerative medicine and tools for tissue engineering.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The recent developement of platelet concentrate for surgical use is an evolution of the fibrin glue technologies used since many years. The initial concept of these autologous preparations was to concentrate platelets and their growth factors in a plasma solution, and to activate it into a fibrin gel on a surgical site, in order to improve local healing. These platelet suspensions were often called Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) like the platelet concentrate used in transfusion medicine, but many different technologies have in fact been developed; some of them are even no more platelet suspensions, but solid fibrin-based biomaterials called Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). These various technologies were tested in many different clinical fields, particularly oral and maxillofacial surgery, Ear-Nose-Throat surgery, plastic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, sports medicine, gynecologic and cardiovascular surgery and ophthalmology. This field of research unfortunately suffers from the lack of a proper accurate terminology and the associated misunderstandings, and the literature on the topic is quite contradictory. Indeed, the effects of these preparations cannot be limited to their growth factor content: these products associate many actors of healing in synergy, such as leukocytes, fibrin matrix, and circulating progenitor cells, and are in fact as complex as blood itself. If platelet concentrates were first used as surgical adjuvants for the stimulation of healing (as fibrin glues enriched with growth factors), many applications for in situ regenerative medicine and tissue engineering were developed and offer a great potential. However, the future of this field is first dependent on his coherence and scientific clarity. The objectives of this article is to introduce the main definitions, problematics and perspectives that are described in this special issue of Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology about platelet concentrates.Current pharmaceutical biotechnology 07/2011; 13(7):1121-30.

- "While some studies report a significant improvement of bone healing in presence of PRP [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6], other studies were not able to detect any positive influence [7] [8] [9] [10]. Nevertheless, the influence of PRP on mesenchymal stem cells has only been investigated on cells derived from bone marrow (BMSC). "
Article: Comparison of mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow and adipose tissue for bone regeneration in a critical size defect of the sheep tibia and the influence of platelet-rich plasma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aim of the present study was to compare the osteogenic potential of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and adipose-tissue derived stem cells (ASC) and to evaluate the influence of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the osteogenic capacity of ASC in a large animal model. Ovine BMSC (BMSC-group) and ASC (ASC-group) were seeded on mineralized collagen sponges and implanted into a critical size defect of the sheep tibia (n=5 each). In an additional group, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was used in combination with ASC (PRP-group). Unloaded mineralized collagen (EMPTY-group) served as control (n=5 each). Radiographic evaluation was performed every 2 weeks, after 26 weeks histological analysis was performed. Radiographic evaluation revealed a significantly higher amount of newly formed bone in the BMSC-group compared to the ASC-group at week 10 and compared to EMPTY-group from week 12 (all p<0.05). A superiority on radiographic level concerning bone formation of the PRP-group versus the empty control group was found (p<0.05), but not for the ASC-group. Histological analysis confirmed radiographic evaluation finding analogous significances. In conclusion, ASC seem to be inferior to BMSC in terms of their osteogenic potential but that can partially be compensated by the addition of PRP.Biomaterials 02/2010; 31(13):3572-9.

I just got stood up by an 18 yr old. fmylife.
He just spent five minutes trying to sling shot a cheese-it off his dick and into my mouth.
Tonight I think I'm going to go out with a french braid so I don't wake up with puke hair. Thoughts?
And your mom thought you weren't even thinking about your future... she would be proud
Oh my god it's like Minesweeper. I can tell there's sex in three of the four rooms, but which one is the safe one?
He was hiding behind my bedroom door. at noon. Wearing a t shirt. And a condom. Not attractive.
Reading my bank statement stoned makes me feel like an adult.
I'm all about sex. But even I know there will be a time to retire my junk. And that will be my 40th birthday, or whenever I'm hideous
I legitimately forgot how to blow my nose just now. Sleep might be handy.
I would let Bear Grills repel down a waterfall using my dick if I could go to sleep right now.
I asked him if he wanted a pillow, and he replied "No. Batman never had pillows."
did i just see you in the movie theater carrying a margarita into Frozen?
I just googled "creative ways to tell someone you'll give them a blow job". I'm losing my touch.
I woke up to his balls in my face, so naturally I limboed under him and headed to the bathroom. When I came out he was asleep on the floor.
I'm going to try to be less of a cryptic bitch this week. Should be nice.

Living With GriefHelping others through shared experiences
Many people can feel alone in their grief, not realizing that others have similar thoughts and experiences. Hear from other people and families about how they are coping and navigating their lives after losing a loved one. We welcome you to share your own stories or articles about living with grief. Submit an article.
Do They Even Remember Your Name?
For the four short years you were in our lives, your name was spoken more times than I could ever possibly count. Not just by me, your dad and brothers, but by a multitude of family and friends. We spoke it. We sang it. We wrote it. You corrected people on the pronunciation of your name by emphasizing every syllable, "My name is Mar-Gar-Eh- Tah." You and your name were part of the daily fabric of our lives, and we took it for granted that it always would be.
And then one day…it wasn't.
On the day you died, a wave of shock and despair hit everyone who knew you. It took our breath away. It left us speechless. Nobody seemed to know the right words to say to make sense of this sudden tragedy. But they tried their best to offer us comfort and show their support in condolence calls and cards.
Many quoted the bible, and offered us sayings they thought would soothe our broken hearts.
"God needed an angel."
"She's at peace in the arms of Jesus."
Others just spoke their hearts in the simplest way possible.
"I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know what to say."
"I can't believe she's dead. I feel sick."
No matter the words spoken and whether they resonated with me or not, I felt supported. I felt our family wasn't alone in our horror.
But then the funeral was over and everyone went home to resume their lives. The cards stopped coming. The phone stopped ringing. And yet our grief was just beginning. It didn't end the day we buried you. It grew. How could we go back to living our normal lives if you weren't here to live it with us? How could the earth keep spinning? How could people keep going about their daily business – laughing and happy when everything in our life had been ruined? The feeling was maddening.
Occasionally we would get a call to see how we were doing. But it was never about you. It was always about their concern for us and how they could help support us. They didn't mention your name. While I was filled with gratitude to know that people still cared, all I wanted to do was talk about you and how your absence in our life was suffocating.
Over time the calls of concern stopped coming and were replaced by invitations to get back to our previous routines. We were invited to parties, dinners, outings, etc. We were encouraged to get back to the land of the living. At first, we often declined but the invitations kept coming. And your name was virtually never mentioned. And almost six years after your death, it still isn't.
It seems to me the only way I can still hear your beautiful name – Margareta – is if I say it; if I sing it; and if I bring you up in conversation. It makes me wonder whether people still think of you. It makes me fear that you are already forgotten. After all, you were only here for four short years.
I'm not the only one who feels this way. This is a common topic – and source of despair – at grief support groups. Those who are bereaved live in a world where those we love remain at the forefront of our thoughts. This isn't just in the first few months or years after your death…but for the rest of our lives. We may even get chastised from family and friends who want us to get over your death and get back to being the way we were before you died…like that will ever happen.
I've heard many times a few theories of why people never say your name. First, they think it will remind me of the pain of your death. As if that pain has ever gone away. If they only knew that hearing your name eases the pain…even if just for a brief moment. Second, they don't know the "right" words to say. I suppose it is a twisted interpretation of the phrase, "If you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all." To which I reply, even if they say something that doesn't come out quite right, at least they've shown me that you're still on their mind.
One of the greatest gifts someone can give to me is the act of saying your name. Not waiting until I bring you up in conversation. Not only mentioning you on your birthday or anniversary of your death. But any time they happen to think of you – even if just for a brief second. I'd love to know that outside of our immediate family, we're not the only ones who still think of you; who still love you; who still acknowledge that you existed.
How I love hearing your name.
A "Grand Plan" Doesn't Comfort Me
I don't know how I learned it, but at a young age, I was introduced to the concept of what death was supposed to be. It went something like this: you live a long, full life until you have grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and then when you are so old your body stops working, you die peacefully – and painlessly – in your sleep. My vision of death was nice, neat, and acceptable. The problem was that my ongoing experience with death over the course of my life didn't seem to ever fit that mold.
As a younger child, I heard about relatives who were old – but not that old – dying of things like cancer, heart attacks, or accidental deaths. I was told the story about my grandfather who was shot and killed on the beaches of Guam during WWII when my father was only 2-years-old. Before the age of 10, I had to face the ugly reality that the teenage daughter of one of my parent's friends was dying of leukemia, and another of my parent's friends – who I knew well – died after being thrown out of a car that lost control when her son fell asleep at the wheel. The uncomfortable reality of death hit home as a young teen when a boy I occasionally babysat drowned, and I vividly remember staring helplessly at his lifeless body on display at his wake. As a young adult, I sat with silent tears in my eyes at the funeral of a cousin in her early 20s who had died suddenly and unexpectedly from a blood clot in her leg. I could go on and on.
The fact is death is sad and tragic, and it is mostly unfair. These deaths that don't fit that ideal mold of dying peacefully in very old age leave us with many unanswered questions that can be summed up in one word: Why? It keeps us up at night. It tortures us. It eats at the very fabric of our being. And in response, there is often a common answer that many offer in hopes of soothing our endless ache.
I'd heard this answer uttered in various ways before, but never gave them much thought until I found myself on the receiving end of them after my 4-year-old daughter's sudden death. While there are many variations to how it is phrased, the most common delivery I heard was, "It was part of God's plan that we cannot understand and aren't meant to know." In another context, I've heard it described as our soul making an agreement with their soul prior to living in this lifetime in order to help us learn a key lesson in our reincarnation progression toward enlightenment.
Now I know that the people who offer this as a condolence truly believe it and think it comforting, but to someone who has just lost someone they cannot imagine living life without, it often falls short of being any source of comfort. In fact, depending on the person and the circumstances, it can unintentionally cause a great deal of distress or even produce outright anger.
Here's why: while their death may be part of some "grand plan" we cannot understand; it most definitely wasn't part of our plan. And now that our plan is forever ruined and irreversible, we are left with an excruciating, bleeding broken heart that we can't imagine has any purpose other than to leave our lives in darkness and utter devastation. In the immediate aftermath of such a death, we see no silver lining, no hope, no purpose, and certainly no opportunity for lessons or growth.
In the years that have followed my daughter's death, I have come a long way from those early feelings of anger towards those who tried to reassure me by reminding me of this grand plan or telling me that my daughter, Margareta, was in a better place. I have come to accept that those words were all they knew what to say after such an unthinkable loss, and that those words probably brought them some sense of safety and comfort in a situation that made no sense. I have forgiven them long ago.
Whether or not I'll ever be fully and utterly convinced that there is a grand plan, the sentiment will never offer me relief from the pain of losing my only daughter. Even though I've grown tremendously as a person since her death and have learned a lifetime of lessons in these past six years, I still ache for her. I still long for a future I'll never have. I am still left with the reality that my plans were shattered the day she died, and I'll always regret not having a future in which I get to watch my daughter grow.
Compassionate Friends Conference Workshop
Next week I'll be flying to Dallas, TX to present a workshop at the 38th annual Compassionate Friends National Conference for bereaved families. I've presented plenty of workshops at the various companies I've worked for, but this will be the first workshop I've presented on grief. I'm excited and nervous and a little bit scared all at the same time, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to lead and facilitate some meaningful – and hopefully healing – conversation with others who find themselves in the horrible situation of losing a child.
The workshop was inspired by a post I wrote last fall called, The Terms of My Surrender, and aims to lead participants through exercises of identifying their personal grief struggles, triggers, emotions and fears. The idea is they will then use this information to help surrender themselves to the notion that you cannot win in a battle against grief. With this understanding, they can start working towards learning to live with grief on their own terms and reinvesting in a meaningful life.
If you happen to be attending the conference next week, I'd love the opportunity to meet some of the people who read this blog. You can send me an email, or attend the workshop next Friday.
With Gratitude,
Why We Can't Just "Move On"
I and many people I know are suffering from a broken heart.
Now this may not seem like a big deal to you. After all, people get broken hearts all the time, and most of the time, people get over it. Eventually, their attention turns towards finding new love to invest their time and energy in. Sooner or later, their heart heals – and hopefully the wiser for it.
Unfortunately, these are not the type of broken hearts I am referring to.
The kind of broken heart I am talking about is so severe and so devastating, it can never fully heal. The broken heart I am describing here is caused by losing someone whose absence leaves a gaping, endless hole in your heart that simply cannot be filled. It is caused by losing a person who could never, ever be replaced and can never, ever come back. In my case, it was caused by the sudden death of my 4-year-old daughter almost six years ago.
Oh, I hear all you doubters out there. You see on the news that people die every day, and from your point of view, their families and friends seem to get over it and move on with life. So why can't we? I know what you're probably thinking…that the people who can't seem to let it go are just a bunch of "poor me" types who want attention. You may even be friends with some of us…or more likely, used to be friends with us. You probably can't fathom why we still feel the need to attend support groups, or visit the cemetery every week, or randomly break down in tears for years after the death. You often feel compelled to tell us so…and to tell us how we're supposed to get over our grief. If it were only that simple.
So, why? Why can't we just get over it and move on with our lives as if everything was back to normal? Unfortunately, there isn't an answer I could put into words that would ever satisfy you. Maybe the problem lies in the terminology being used. We may be suffering from a broken heart as you would define it…but it's more than that. It might better be described as a broken soul or a broken spirit. Maybe it's best to just cut out the noun. We are simply broken. Until you actually experience this type of loss, you'll never fully understand.
So maybe the better question is: why does it bother you so much? Is it the tears that make you uncomfortable? Does our demeanor hamper your care-free lifestyle? Is it the in-your-face reminder that you will die someday – and maybe much sooner than you plan to? Whatever your reason, you need to know that if you feel compelled to tell us what we need to do and how we need to do it, you're not doing us any favors or speeding up our grief process…you're just adding to our pain.
The fact is if you had enough patience, you'd see that over time people like us are better able to reintegrate into "normal" life. We learn to smile and truly experience happiness again. We don't cry as often – and when we do, we can usually wait until no one is looking. We may eventually even convince you that we have finally moved on with our lives.
But behind the scenes you better believe that the pain is still there. The longing never goes away. The regret is here to stay. The painful reminders that one of the most important people in our lives is missing surround us. We don't just think of them on special occasions. We think of them daily. Some days we may think of them every hour or every minute. This is how we keep them present in our lives. This is our personal memorial to the overwhelming love they brought to our lives when they were here. Do you really want to take that away from us?
So instead of focusing on the idea that we should move on with our lives to make you more comfortable, maybe you could focus on learning how to look the other way and not let our grief bother you so much.
Where's the Manual for Healing from Grief?
The internet is a wondrous thing. Type in a query to just about any question, and you'll get pages and pages of links to the answers. Not that all of those pages contain accurate information…but many times they provide you with the information you're looking for. I know I've spent countless hours since the death of my 4-year-old daughter, Margareta, looking for answers to my questions about grief. And I've found endless pages that talk about everything I could possibly want to know about it…except for how exactly to heal my grief.
Oh sure, there are plenty of resources that give suggestions of what you can do to ease the pain of grief. I've certainly written a lot about the various ways I have found some relief from my devastating pain over the years. But unlike the common reactions to grief that virtually everyone who's faced it experiences, healing is a very personal matter. And because healing from grief is so individual and unique, there can never be a manual for it.
Grief is universal. No matter the cause – for there are many causes of grief other than the loss of a loved one – there are very common reactions to it. Many grieving people I've met in person and online since Margareta's death describe the same or similar emotional reactions, physical symptoms, or behaviors in the face of grief. You would think with such commonality between people in their reactions to grief, there would also be the same amount of shared ways people heal. But from my perspective, it doesn't appear that's true.
Now I'm not saying I don't think there are similar actions people can take to help them heal from the overwhelming pain of grief. Certainly the ways I've found some solace in my journey of grief seem to resonate with the experience of others who find themselves on this same sad path. The problem, as I see it, lies with the very definition of "healing". I've found that what healing means to me is often very different to what healing looks or feels like for others.
What exactly is it to "be healed"? Is it the absence of pain? Is it the ability to "move on" and assimilate back to your definition of a "normal" life? Maybe it's the ability to find happiness and joy once again. Perhaps it is to find meaning and purpose after the devastation of grief? It could be all of the above…or it could be none of the above. It depends entirely on the circumstance of what caused the grief in the first place, and the individual experience of the person suffering from it.
For example, someone who is experiencing profound grief over the loss of a relationship will likely have a different measure of healing than someone who lost a loved one to death. And even within the same general category of circumstance – such as two people whose loved ones died – there are bound to be differences in their definitions of healing. A person who lost an elderly parent may have a different healing path than someone who's lost a child. And even a person who's lost an adult child may have a different definition of healing than someone who lost a young child or suffered a miscarriage. What about the type of death, such as a long battle with a terminal illness vs. a sudden tragedy with no chance to say goodbye? Does our gender, age, or personality type come into play as well? I think it all matters in our definitions of healing.
So what are we to do in our search for healing? Are we just left to our own devices to figure out what it means to us and how we go about achieving it? Maybe. But chances are, once you've identified what healing means to you, there are plenty of resources you can find to shed some light on how others have achieved what it is you're after. Hearing personal stories from others on the same path is often a powerful tool.
You may find – as in my case – that your definition of healing will change over time. Once you've achieved one milestone of healing, you're likely to uncover a new personal goal. For example, after I was finally able to allow happiness and joy back into my life, I chose to focus on learning what living a life of purpose in the shadow of my daughter's death meant to me. While I have some direction, I'm still working on figuring out exactly what that means. And it's likely that once I am able to live a life of purpose, I'll have a new definition of healing to work towards in the years to come.
I think it's also important to mention that some of our definitions of healing may never be achievable. If healing equals the absence of pain over the death of my daughter, I know that I'll never reach that state of healing. But for me, the acceptance of that reality was somewhat healing in its own right.
Whatever your definition of healing is, I hope you have the support you need to continue down your path in achieving it.
A Letter to My Living Children for Mother's Day
Dearest ones,
Mother's Day is quickly approaching. Each year, I've received beautiful hand drawn cards or beautiful crafts from you that I cherish and save. Your words of love and appreciation are an echo of the profound love and appreciation I feel for each of you. Not just on Mother's Day, but every day. And yet, you know Mother's Day will forever more be bittersweet for me, since your sister will never again be alongside you to wish me a happy Mother's Day.
It has been a very challenging road for all of us since the death of your only sister. You didn't just lose your only sister and a piece of your innocence that day, but you also lost the mother you once knew. After that horrible day, you had to witness a mother who was crushed by the weight of grief; a mother who still loved and took care of you, but was so often sad or tired or visibly overwhelmed.
I know that for a long time you tried to hide your own pain from me in an effort to not make mine worse. You tried to take care of me, as I often struggled to find the energy needed to take care of you. You helped out more. You followed the rules as best you could. You checked in on me as a parent checks in on their child. I appreciate all of it more than you know, but I'll always be sorry you found yourself in that difficult position.
Seeing all my outward sadness since her death, it might appear to you that I think more about your sister than I do of you. It may even appear that I love your sister more than you. Nothing could be further from the truth…but I'm pretty sure you already know that. I think you understand that when all we have left of someone is our memories, we may choose to spend more time with our thoughts than before.
I also think you know just how much I am grateful for each and every day that I have to spend with you. I have tried very hard over these past few years to show that to you, and despite the pain – or perhaps because of the pain – we have grown a stronger, deeper bond of love and trust between us. We have all witnessed firsthand the fragility of life, and we are reminded that our relationships with each other – and those we love – are what matter most. That is a wonderful gift your sister bestowed upon us that I know will last our lifetimes.
So if I have tears in my eyes this Mother's Day, I hope you know it is just the overflowing love I feel for all of you – including your sister – leaking out of me. And while I wish with all my broken heart that she were here with you, it is all of you that help mend that heart each and every day with all the love you continue to give to me. I can only hope you will also feel my love for you each and every day of your lives.
Blackbirds with Broken Wings
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
– From "Blackbird" by The Beatles
So begins one of my favorite songs. I've loved it ever since the first time I heard it as a little girl: the beauty of the melody; the simple combination of a voice and guitar; the inspiring message of hope – the hope for someone who's been broken in body and spirit, and has nothing more to lose.
"Broken" is a good description of what I became in September 2009 in the wake of my 4-year-old daughter's death. My body still worked. My mind still functioned. Out of necessity, I went back to work and back to the everyday tasks of raising three other children… but behind that façade of normalcy, I found myself not just suffering a broken heart, but a broken spirit. I was living in a broken world that had failed to follow the laws of nature. I had become the blackbird in that beautiful song. Unable to function in the world around me in the way I once did.
In my experience, once I became broken in a public way, I began to discover other broken people around me. While I sought some of them out in support groups, I found that sometimes they sought me out. In my local community, it was as if my daughter's death was a key that had unlocked a door that hid people's secret identities. Acquaintances I knew – but knew little about – suddenly trusted me with stories of their deepest heartbreak and despair. But why?
In my opinion, we live in a society that idolizes winners and treats losers with disdain. Think of the endless reality shows where we vote for the best and ever so quickly forget those we didn't think were good enough. I look around and see so many people feeling pressured to show the world they are winners too. They work very hard to try to get the prized job with a big salary. It doesn't seem to matter that it often means they must sacrifice every last ounce of their free time or family time. I see endless commercials encouraging people to buy things to show their winning nature: big houses, expensive cars, and the latest and greatest technology or gadgets that will cost a small fortune, but be out of style within months. Our societies tend to glamorize the rich and famous, while marginalizing just about everyone else.
In such a world, how could we expect anyone to willingly acknowledge they were broken? I have witnessed first-hand the cruel judgmental attitudes and reactions of disdain or pity – which make broken people feel even more broken. So, I see these broken people do the best they can to put on a façade of "winning" strength to the outside world while desperately trying to tend to their devastating wounds in the "dead of night".
Back to the question of why these people suddenly trusted me to be witness to their broken souls? If I had to guess, it would be this: because they felt it was safe to. If they were like me, they had learned this basic truth about "broken" people: they can be some of the kindest, most compassionate people you will ever meet.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
What inspires this kindness and compassion? Why do so many "broken" people say they have a new understanding of what is important in their lives? In my personal experience, it is the result of feeling the weight of a pain so cruel and so unbearable it left me with "sunken eyes". These eyes no longer allow me to see the world in the way I once did.
It took a lot of time and painful effort to learn to see clearly with my sunken eyes. With significantly reduced vision, I was forced to focus only on things essential to my very survival. In my case, it was to focus on love, my relationships with those I loved, on being honest and true to myself, and being free once and for all from the limiting thoughts that kept me tied to the world I once lived in where I never felt good enough.
My reduced vision tends to mostly block out the things I once thought I needed to be happy. I no longer feel pressure to earn as much money as I once thought I should. I no longer see any reason to spend time in a job that my heart isn't in if it means reducing the precious time spent with my family. It has led me to see that money and material things will never bring any sort of worth or importance to my life.
If I am forced to live the rest of my life without my daughter, I want it to be a life filled with purpose and meaning. My vision is focused on how I can promote my own healing and growth by using my natural strengths and skills to help others. I have found that many broken people I've met have the same or similar vision. And in feeling compelled to help others, we tend to develop a new understanding of and capacity for compassion and kindness.
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
I am no longer afraid to show the world I am broken. I will sing my song out loud in the dead of night and the light of day if it means I can show other broken people there is hope when they see none. If I can learn to fly with broken wings, anyone can. What is my secret? I have learned to focus less on the overwhelming pain of her death and more on the profound love my daughter brought to my life in her four short years and the unending love I feel for her. That love becomes a beacon of light in the dark black night of grief…and I will follow it wherever it may take me.
What is Strength in the Face of Grief?
"You're so strong."
If you've suffered the devastating loss of a loved one, you've probably heard the phrase. I certainly have after the death of my 4-year-old daughter, Margareta, in 2009. But what does it really mean, anyway? What exactly is the definition of strength in the wake of a loved one's death? Chances are if you ask a griever and a non-griever that question, you'll get very different perspectives and very different underlying meanings.
When people have told me how strong I am after the death of my daughter – and many people have – they sincerely mean it and mean it in a supportive way. In the early weeks and months after Margareta's death, it was usually told to me in the context that I'd seemingly reintegrated back into the "normal world": going to work, taking my other children to activities and events, getting errands done outside the house, etc.
But in their minds, this was opposed to…what? To being so devastated they would surely find me in the fetal position in a corner of my house while hysterically sobbing 24-hours a day? Or maybe it was the relief that I hadn't succumbed to the continual urges to take my own life – because many parents can't imagine how they will continue living after the death of a child. I certainly didn't. Many times I thought the only reason I was still alive was for the sake of my other children – and I've heard many bereaved parents say this as well.
Strength, from this perspective, equals stoicism. On the internet, stoicism is defined as, "the endurance of pain or hardship without a display of feelings and without complaint."
So when did stoicism become the standard definition of strength? I suppose it is because we see soldiers as stoic. Warriors are stoic. Real men don't cry – or so we're told. Women who show their emotions too freely are seen as weak or crazy and subject to ridicule. Real strength is apparently the ability to keep our emotions buried and controlled…or so we're trained to believe.
When grievers don't show this type of "strength" and are outwardly emotional and distraught too long after the funeral is over, frustrated former supporters often begin to distance themselves and tell them to, "get over it" and "move on". It's only death, after all. They've gone to a better place, right? Can't we just remember that and be happy for them now that they're at peace with God?
The problem is that most of us can't. The pain and emotions are just too overwhelming. We are in survival mode. If I had to illustrate what this level of grief was like, it would look like we are standing on a steep hill having to use all our strength just to keep a boulder larger than ourselves from crushing us. That is why grief is just as physically exhausting as it is emotionally.
So when they see us as "strong", chances are we feel anything but. We feel weak and vulnerable. For many of us, we are barely getting by each day for years after the funeral. We continually don't know how we manage to get out of bed each morning, but somehow we do. We don't know how we're going to get through each day, but somehow we put one foot in front of the other and keep moving. We don't know how this is done or where we get this supposed strength from. And many of us are sure that at any second, we will lose our tenuous grip on this boulder of grief and it will surely crush us. For a long, long time, that show of strength to those around us feels like a sham.
For many of us, not a day goes by that we aren't acutely aware that our loved one is missing from our lives. And the constant reminder is painful. But we know that if we continue to show this pain, the negative feedback we hear from those around us will just make it worse. And so we hide it to become "strong" in their eyes. But it creates a distance between us that is not easily undone.
How do we continue to hold that boulder at bay for years on end, or in some cases, for the rest of our lives? For me, and for many people I have come to know who are devastated by grief, we seek out others like us. We do this to find others who have survived this unbearable pain in an effort to learn how for ourselves. We do it to be able to find safe environments where we can express our pain in an effort to process it, and to find the support we need to continue to keep this boulder from crushing us.
I would argue that asking for help in the face of overwhelming pain is one of the strongest things we can do. The act of admitting we are in over our heads and cannot do this alone is sometimes as difficult as losing our loved one. Letting other people in to see our deepest vulnerabilities and fears is not weakness; it is one of the ultimate displays of strength – grieving or not.
Every time we reach out and ask for help or support, that boulder becomes just a little lighter. The supportive hands of others brace us as we push against that boulder. Eventually, these hands of support may even be able to help break down the boulder until it is a more manageable size and weight. It doesn't matter who you ask for help and support, it only matters that you do.
To those of you who offer, "You're so strong" as words of comfort, I ask you to consider replacing it with, "I'm here for you" if you want to be truly supportive. For those of you holding that boulder of grief at bay, I hope you continue to reach out for support to help lighten your load. For if I know anything in the wake of my daughter's death, I know that there are many people who want to help you. You just have to make the effort to find them.
Us vs. Them
"The only source of knowledge is experience." – Albert Einstein
Humans seem to love groups. There must be something primal about wanting to find similarities we share with others. Is it because we want to feel like we belong somewhere? Maybe it makes us feel safe? Whatever the reason, it creates a sense of "us vs. them".
Having an "us vs. them" mentality can be both good and bad. Good when it creates a bonding experience and develops closer, stronger relationships for those within the group. Bad when it promotes discrimination or exclusionary practices. Most of the time, we have the opportunity to choose what groups to belong to. We can also usually decide to leave those groups when they no longer fit us.
Sometimes though, belonging to a group that separates "us vs. them" is not chosen, but forced upon us due to circumstance. And there are some circumstances that simply cannot be undone. In those cases, we are subjected to an "us vs. them" reality that we cannot escape from. In my case, as in many others, the death of my child was the circumstance that forever trapped me in an "us vs. them" world I wish I wasn't a part of.
For the majority of my life, I was in the "them" world. Blissfully ignorant of the depths of pain the death of a child brings. Not to say my life was always easy and problem free – far from it. But the balance of nature was still intact. I was happily raising four children, and motherhood was probably the greatest source of joy in my life. When my 4-year-old daughter died in 2009, I was suddenly thrown out of the world I once knew. My husband and I were now trapped in a group of two: the parents of our dead daughter, Margareta.
Now, I've heard many people hear of my circumstance and tell me, "I can imagine how horrible losing a child must be." And they're right…they can imagine. But imagination is very different from experience. Imagination is safe. It has limits. You can leave it whenever you want. Actual experience is not so fleeting or forgiving. Once you have experienced a horror so deep and so primal, there is no escaping it. Ever. You may be able to lessen the pain, but you can never make it fully go away. It becomes your constant companion.
Let's look at another example. We hear stories of brave soldiers wounded, maimed and killed on a regular basis. So regular, unfortunately, we become numb to the horror of it. I can imagine what it must be like. I have a huge source of movies, documentaries, news stories, etc. that depict these horrors in great detail. But until I am actually in the position of having to fight for my life; having to look down the barrel of a rifle and making the decision to kill or be killed; having to ride in a vehicle with the unimaginable fear of whether it will run over an IED and be blown up; having to see my friends and fellow soldiers die next to me…I will never really know what it is like to be in their situation. The same can be said for losing a child.
Once you find yourself in this "us vs. them" world, many are compelled to seek out others in the "us" category. We want to know others who have actually lived to survive this unbearable pain. We want to be able to share our fears and feelings with someone who has had the same experiences as us. It doesn't necessarily matter that their child died at a different age or in a different circumstance. It makes us feel less alone; less alienated from a world we once lived in but no longer belong to.
I've seen many of "us" knowingly push ourselves further away from "them" because of the hurt, frustration and anger "they" can unknowingly cause us. Having only imagination as their resource, "they" can say things they think are helpful and supportive, but to "us" are received as hurtful and insensitive. "They" often want to see us integrated back into the world we once knew and get back to being the person we once were, but we see this as further proof that they simply cannot understand what it is like to be "us", and makes us feel further isolated and alone.
While it might be tempting to stay completely isolated and alone and have no further contact with "them", it is completely unrealistic and unhealthy. So where can we once again find common ground between "us vs. them"?
First, we can practice patience and compassion. I know this is easier said than done when you feel you are being crushed by the overwhelming weight of grief, but you need to remember that "we" were once "them". Once upon a time, we didn't know the right words to say and probably said many insensitive things unintentionally. We didn't always know how to act around someone whose overwhelming pain made us nervous and uncomfortable. Our actions probably made them think we were indifferent to their pain, despite our best efforts.
Once you've remembered that we were once them and how it felt, you can educate those around you on ways they can better support you. If they don't know what to say or how to act, then teach them. Let them know when their words hurt (and why) and what you'd rather hear instead. Let them know what they can do for you to help lighten your load. For their sake, be as specific as you can. Remember that many of these people love and care for you, and are likely to appreciate the opportunity to better support you and be open to taking direction from you.
If, for some reason, some of them are not receptive to feedback and remain unhelpful and hurtful, then you have the right to distance yourself from them. Remember that you are in survival mode, and it likely takes every ounce of your energy just to make it through each day in one piece. Your focus – whether they like it or not – will likely need to be on you, your health and well-being for now. Further down the road, and once you are better able to handle your new reality, you can revisit your relationship with them. It's never too late to try to heal broken relationships.
Ultimately, life will always be some level of "us vs. them". The best we can do is look for ways to balance the need to find others like "us" while finding common ground with "them". The more love and support we can welcome into our lives – whether it comes from us or them – the further down the path of healing we will travel.
When Life Doesn't Go to Plan
Many of us like to be in control…at least in control of our own lives and our hopes and dreams. But even if we've carefully calculated the course of our life and worked hard to let no details slip through the cracks, we still encounter times when our lives simply don't go according to plan.
Most often, these "hiccups" in life are disappointing or even hurtful, but most are not insurmountable. For example, when a marriage ends in divorce it may bring a level of pain and regret that feels like you won't ever recover from it, and yet most people do pick up the pieces of a broken heart and go on to find love again.
Perhaps, as in my case, you unexpectedly get laid off from a job that you've put your heart and soul into for years. You may find yourself feeling hurt and betrayed…and in the difficult position of having to scramble to find a new job before the next round of bills are due. You may have to reevaluate your career path or even your lifestyle, but I've heard countless stories where someone lost a job and then went on to find a better one. That's been the case for me in the past.
So what do you do when you encounter a major roadblock in life?
Some people refuse to give up on their previous plans, and charge forward come hell or high water. That's great for them, but some of us don't have the resources or personality needed to do that. Some people seemingly give up and descend into a personal prison of hopelessness. They tend to withdraw from life and some choose unhealthy ways to escape from the pain.
Most of us find ourselves somewhere in the middle. We still have dreams, but may find ourselves having to rethink the shape, size and scope of them. Some of us may surprisingly come to the realization that our previous plans were actually keeping us in unhealthy or limiting situations…so we make new plans. Chances are if you look back on your life to see where you've encountered roadblocks and where your new path led you to; you may actually be quite pleased.
But sometimes, life's roadblocks are so devastating; we simply cannot see a way forward. Most often, this happens when you lose someone that you've built your life – or your identity – around.
In these cases many of us find ourselves frozen in feelings of anger or despair and are unable to comprehend our life without our loved one in it. Some of us simply refuse to accept this new reality and isolate ourselves and withdraw from the "regular" world; resentfully thinking that if life isn't going to go according to our plans, then we refuse to participate in it until it does. That's a nice thought, but life often has a habit of ignoring our demands, especially if we simply cannot undo what has already been done – in this case, the death of a loved one.
I found myself in this situation after the sudden death of my 4-year-old daughter, Margareta. Unlike losing my job, where I can simply look for a new – and even better – one, there was nothing I could do to turn the death of my daughter into a better situation. I couldn't replace my daughter with a new one (and for those who have insensitively told a bereaved parent that they should just have another child…next time, please do all of us a favor and keep your thoughts to yourself). I couldn't pretend that I'd ever find that elusive "closure" that many people talk about, but doesn't exist in these types of situations.
I was hopelessly, utterly lost. I didn't know what to do or which way to turn. And yet, as it always does, life moved on whether I liked it or not. It moved forward without my daughter in it. I was desperately trying to find a way to keep one foot in the world where my daughter was still alive, while keeping the other foot in the present day world where my other children still resided. I don't advise anyone to try this…it simply does not work.
So here I was, forced to make new plans; plans that did not include my daughter growing up and living a full life. I hated it. I resented it. To this day, I still regret it and probably always will. And yet I am forced to live it. And I suspect that many of you reading this are forced to live with that reality too.
The fact is I have made new plans. While these plans will never be the ones I truly want, because they will never include my daughter alive in them, they try to make the best of an impossible situation. They try to honor her life while honoring the fact that I'm still alive and so is the rest of my family. They will always include sadness and regret intermixed with hope and joy.
And I know whatever my plans may be; they are always subject to change…because life has a habit of sometimes getting in the way.

Lee Students Bring Home ADDY Awards
By: Brannon Roberts
Lee University communication arts students recently won eight Student ADDY awards at the American Advertising Federation's (AAF) Competition in Chattanooga.
The AAF Student ADDY Awards Competition provides college students an opportunity to submit their design work to be judged on a professional level. Work entered at the local level can move up to regional and national judging. It is one of the most prestigious awards in the advertising world, similar to an Oscar for film or an Emmy for television.
Individually submitted designs by Randi Vasquez earned her a Gold for her "Lady of the Marketplace" photograph and a Silver for a logo design.
"Receiving an ADDY helped me realize how far I've come in my career during the past few years, however it also taught me to never settle and strive for the best," Vasquez said.
Hannah Alamo's personal submission of an annual report, "How Things Work," won her a Silver award.
A team of three including Nathan Bivens, Jordan Dickenson and Josh Wical earned a Silver for a Vindagua yearbook advertisement.
Plasso Creative Group, a team of 11, won a Silver for their commercial "Don't Be Vulterized" created for the Deacon Jones Auto Group in an Advertising Campaigns class. Plasso includes students Monica Alward, Suzie Burkett, Amanda Downey, Steven Holt, Brooks Hungate, Paul Hutson, Steven Morgan, Jessica Reynolds, Mabia Shadel, Caitlin Warrick and Jonathan Williams.
"The ADDY awards ceremony is a great chance for my students to meet professionals in this field," said Dr. Megan Moe, associate professor of communication at Lee. "Two years ago one of our graduating seniors won a Gold ADDY and met his future employer at the competition."
Lee's Publications office brought home the Gold ADDY for the Insider Magazine along with three Silvers for their Alumni Calendar, Parade of Favorites Program, and Charisma Metallic Flame Advertisement.
The publications team included students Ani Abrahamyan, Bivens, Jason Moore, Steven Morgan, Brent Shedd, Olivia Theodore, Cilla Tran and Vasquez.
Winners of Gold ADDYs will have the opportunity to advance to AAF's regional competition which will take place in Nashville.

They play LaMoure-Litchville-Marion for the title Thursday, which is a rematch of the District 5 championship game that Oakes won.

The Big July 4 Heist at Weaverville WalMart
Posted in the Hendersonville Forum
1 - 2 of 2 Comments Last updated Wednesday Jul 22
#1 Jul 5, 2012
Looks like Kimberly Gail West, James Corbin, Jr., and Harvey Hunt, Jr. are in a heap of trouble for trying to make off with a thousand dollars in merchandise at the Weaverville WalMart. As they roared back toward Hendersonville they crashed in a Lincoln Navigator with the goodies and drug paraphernalia aboard. And that was after the Navigator making its mad getaway had struck a WalMart employee, Rocco Chico.
You can get the article and mug shots with a search engine for the Weaverville Tribune. And it looks like Kimberly has a mug shot for an arrest in Polk County, FL. Oh, Kimberly, hanging out with a bad crowd, huh, girl?. Your attention needs to be got right now.
The most amusing part of this story can be found in the comments to the article about the thieves at WLOS TV's website. Now that there is hilarious because Kimberly's mama Sandra who works as a paralegal for the Gardo law firm in Hendersonville gets hot trying to defend her daughter. The venting of spleen there is some funny stuff. It looks to me that Mama West is an enabler and a mushmeller.
And now Kimberly at 19 is an adult.
Folks, don't miss out on this indignant woman trying to defend her skanky little daughter.
The last question I have to ask is, Are there any English teachers in Henderson County? Who in the devil are all those people doing all that terrible hen-scratching? Those comments at the WLOS website lead me to the conclusion that the schools are letting kids graduate functionally illiterate and not just a little bit stupid.

The weaverville tribune slanderises peaples names weighting about fiction rather than facts they put me on the front page and told about 30percent truth and the rest was lies they should get there facts strait before publishing garbage,LIES AND RUMERS

McKesson: appellant's factum filed
By Shaira Nanji
On 10 January 2014, McKesson Canada Corporation appealed the decision of the Tax Court of Canada in McKesson Canada Corporation v The Queen (2013 TCC 404).
In McKesson, the Tax Court upheld the Canada Revenue Agency's transfer price adjustments (made pursuant to section 247 of the Income Tax Act [Canada]) that had reduced the discount rate paid under a receivables sales agreement between McKesson Canada and its parent company, MIH, from 2.206 per cent to 1.013 per cent. The Tax Court also upheld the assessment of withholding tax on a deemed dividend that arose in a secondary adjustment resulting from the lower discount rate…

ISciences monitors fresh water resources worldwide and forecasts changes with our Water Security Indicator Model. Each month we document current anomalies and provide forecasts with lead times from 1-9 months. Highlights from recent analyses are presented below. For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The global outlook for August indicates predominately warmer than average temperatures, particularly in the Middle East, southern India, and Southeast Asia. Exceptionally drier conditions are expected from southern Mexico through Central America and into northern South America, while much of the US west of the Rockies may be wetter.
Though water deficits may moderate in Southern Africa through December, exceptional deficits are possible January through March.
Water deficits may persist in Coastal West Africa through March 2016 with exceptional water deficits forecast in October.
Exceptional water deficits may continue across much of northern South America through March 2016.
Water deficits are forecast to spread in southern Mexico, Central America, parts of the Caribbean, Colombia, and Venezuela. The pattern of exceptional deficit conditions is expected to persist in many of these areas through March 2016 with greatest extent and severity July through September 2015
Widespread water deficits are forecast for much of Iran through March 2016, though deficits will vary in severity. Provinces along the Persian Gulf may continue to experience deficits through September. Beginning in October the most intense deficits shift towards the central and eastern portions of Iran.
Many parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific may experience moderate to exceptional water deficits in the coming months. Thailand and New Guinea may be hardest hit.
Water deficits are now expected to be most intense during the second half of the monsoon season (August-October 2015), with exceptional deficits centered on Uttar Pradesh and surrounding areas. Moderate surpluses are now forecast for Odisha and northern Andhra Pradesh.
- Exceptional drought will persist in northern California through the Pacific Northwest;
- Southern California is forecast to have characteristics of both water deficits and surpluses;
- Exceptional water surpluses are forecast for portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, and Louisiana;
- A wide belt of moderate to exceptional surpluses is expected from the Central Plains eastward; and,
- Southeast states are forecast to have characteristics of both water deficits and surpluses.
Exceptional water surpluses are expected in Tanzania beginning in November 2015. Surpluses may also affect rivers in Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
Water surpluses forecast for southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Bolivia.
Exceptional water deficits may persist in coastal Peru and Chile, extending a 3 year period of exceptional deficits. Drought related socioeconomic impacts are intensifying.
Regions likely to encounter significant water anomalies in the coming months include: United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Coastal West Africa, Southern Africa, Tanzania, Iran, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific. This watch list is based on ISciences' Water Security Indicator Model (WSIM) Global Water Monitor and Forecast issued 8 July 2015.

- David Schoenfield, SweetSpot blogger

With Mike Trout currently batting second for the Angels, Eric Karabell wondered: Who is the game's best leadoff hitter right now? Time for a quick debate!
Eric: Austin Jackson
I'll go with Detroit Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson. He's not off to the flashiest start, not like Shin-Soo Choo, Jose Altuve or Carl Crawford, but Jackson has the brightest future, as he does just fine getting on base, running a bit, scoring many runs. Leaving out the part about Jackson's elite ability defensively, at the plate he brings speed, power and durability to the leadoff role, but what I like best is he continues to grow as a hitter. Last season Jackson cut quite a bit into his strikeout rate and walked more, and while it didn't get noticed because of what Trout accomplished, Jackson was probably the second-best leadoff option in the game. Now that Trout is hitting second in the lineup, Jackson is first. He's 26 and getting better.
Dave: Shin-Soo Choo
The Cincinnati Reds center fielder is off to a stunning start, getting on base more than Joey Votto (his .521 OBP leads the majors, thanks in part to an amazing nine hit by pitches already) and adding some power (three homers, six doubles). It's no fluke, of course: Choo has a career .385 OBP and he thrived after moving to the leadoff spot last year in Cleveland. And while he's not known as a burner, he's averaged 19 steals over the past four seasons. The question with him is how he does against left-handers. So far, so good (OBP over .400), but last year he had just a .318 OBP. If we're talking all-around game, sure, I'll take Jackson and his terrific glove over Choo and his questionable range. But for pure leadoff skills, Choo is my guy.

FA Cup Final to be immortalised in world's largest 360-degree photo
Fans heading to Wembley Stadium for this weekend's FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Stoke will be part of the world's largest ever 360-degree photograph.
Commissioned by Wembley Stadium and taken by renowned expert photographer Jeffrey Martin from 360Cities.net, the photograph will be comprised of over 1,000 individual shots taken simultaneously and include the entire crowd at the event this weekend (Saturday 14 May) - so if you're going it'd probably be best if you don't pick your nose for the duration of the match.
A mere 24 hours after the game has finished, the end result will be hosted at wembleystadium/wembley360, so you'll be able to see yourself from Sunday and beyond. Not only will this be one of the fastest turn-arounds undertaken, but it will be the largest image of a major sporting event ever.
In addition to viewing the photo, fans will also be able to Facebook tag themselves in the shot.
"We are delighted to be able to offer fans a special memento of their day at this year's FA Cup Final and hope the photo will be the first of many to capture the fantastic atmosphere fans bring to Wembley Stadium," said Roger Maslin, Wembley's managing director. "We have some very special events at Wembley this summer with the Champions League Final and eight nights of Take That's sell out Progress Live tour."
