Many cancers shed malignant cells into the circulation. Albeit their rare frequency, these cancer cells serve both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. However, their purification, quantification and characterization remain challenging. Here, we present a low-cost, rapid microfluidic cell sorter (μFCS) device for the detection and molecular analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). The μFCS employs a weir-shaped microfluidic structure to separate and capture CTCs from unprocessed whole blood cells based on their size difference. The system further allows on-chip culture and molecular profiling of captured cancer cells, and provides easy cell retrieval for subsequent proteomic and genetic analyses. Using a mouse model of cancer metastasis, we show that the μFCS can enrich CTCs from whole blood to unmask their cancer genetic signature. With its rapid processing speed and versatility for downstream analyses, this platform could have a wide range of potential applications in clinical cancer diagnosis.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be found in many solid neoplasms. These cells can serve as valuable markers for primary tumor diagnosis;[1-4] both their absolute concentration and their temporal changes in numbers have been used as prognostic and predictive markers, while their molecular and genetic signatures provide significant metrics relevant to tumor stratification, disease progression and therapy management. However, CTCs are rare (as few as one cell per 109 haemotologic cells). The isolation and characterization of rare cancer cells from biofluids therefore pose significant technical challenges, in particular, requiring rapid assessment of large volumes of samples and effective enrichment against a complex biological background.
Different platforms have been developed for the enrichment and detection of CTCs.[5, 6] A prevalent approach is to isolate tumor cells based on their expression of EpCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule), an epithelial cell surface marker commonly, though not exclusively, associated with carcinomas; this approach has been adopted to enrich CTCs through immunomagnetic separation (CellSearch) or immunocapture inside microfluidic devices.[7-9] Despite its proven utility in clinical cases where CTCs are abundant, the method is often limited by the presence of EpCAM-negative CTCs and/or fluctuations of EpCAM level in CTCs over tumor growth.[4] Alternatively, CTCs have been separated by exploiting their size differences against blood cells.[5, 10] Obviating the need for antigen-antibody binding steps, the method not only allows for significantly faster sample processing, but also collects putative CTCs regardless of their EpCAM expression. Various microfiltration devices have been implemented, utilizing either membrane or microfabricated filters for CTC collection.[11-14] Closed filter systems, however, can be limited by several factors: 1) as more cells are trapped inside the filters, the required pressure for fluidic flow concomitantly increases, imposing higher shear stress on the trapped cells; 2) flow can eventually stop from filter-clogging; 3) retrieving trapped cells is generally a challenging task with low recovery efficiency. In a bid to address these issues, different types of in-flow filter systems have been developed[15-19] (see Table S1 in Supporting Information for a detailed comparison). Although several devices have demonstrated successful CTC capture from large volumes of samples, they often lack on-chip cellular analytic capabilities; captured cells need to be transferred for further assays, which can cause cell loss and potential phenotypic changes.
We herein report a new type of CTC detection system, a microfluidic cell sorter (μFCS), for the isolation and comprehensive analyses of CTCs in whole blood. The μFCS employs a modified weir-style physical barrier to separate and capture tumor cells based on their size, and subsequently allows on-chip tumor identification through molecular characterization. The operation is performed in a continuous-flow manner, processing large volumes of samples at high flow rates without clogging or pressure buildup. The captured cells can be analyzed in situ for comprehensive and multifaceted evaluation, including single cell enumeration and imaging, molecular and genetic profiling, and drug-treatment responses. They can also be cultured on-chip or retrieved for subsequent off-chip assays. We have implemented the μFCS platform with multiple operational modes and evaluated its capacities. The system not only achieved high enrichment ratios (>104) at high flow rates (up to 20 mL·hr-1) but also enabled versatile cellular analyses at a single cell resolution. The potential clinical application of the technology was demonstrated by capturing CTCs from whole blood of tumor-bearing mice and subsequently performing genetic analyses on the captured cells.
The μFCS is designed to size-selectively enrich target cells from complex biological media (Figure 1a). The device consists of sample inlets, a separation fluidic channel with a weir-style barrier, and collection ports. The barrier, extending from the channel ceiling, defines the height of the physical gap for cell separation. Biological samples and buffer solution are separately introduced onto the input ports, generating two laminar flow streams. Cells smaller than the gap height bypass the barrier, remaining in their original flow stream. Larger cells, on the other hand, move along the barrier and join the buffer stream, thereby are collected at a different outport (Figure 1b). As the sorting operation does not hinder the fluidic flow, the μFCS can sustain a large volume of flow and is free of clogging (Figure S1). Importantly, the system offers versatile multimodal operations for the detection and analysis of CTCs. For example, by embedding cradle-shaped structures along the physical barrier, CTCs can be individually captured (Figure 1c). These cells then can be enumerated and further profiled on-chip by introducing molecular probes (Figure 1d), enabling specific CTC analyses at a single cell resolution. Captured cells can also be retrieved for off-chip assays (e.g., cell culture; Figure 1e), or lysed to elute proteins and nucleic acids (Figure 1f).
A prototype μFCS was fabricated by replicating a SU-8 photoresist (Microchem) mold with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, Dow Corning) as the structural material (see Materials and Methods in Supporting Information for details). The device was built to include a wide and tall fluidic channel (3 mm × 50 μm in cross-section) to have low hydraulic resistance for operation at high flow rates (Figure S2a; see Materials and Methods in Supporting Information for design details). To reduce the resistance further, the barrier was designed to have a small footprint (80 μm in width) and to cross the main channel at a small angle (10°). Small pillars were embedded across the channel, including the underside of the physical barrier, to prevent channel deformation and to thus maintain a uniform barrier-channel gap at high flow rates (Figure S2b). A rigid support (a 150-μm thick glass cover slip) was also embedded on the ceiling of the PDMS channel during the polymer cure. With such structural improvements, we were able to enhance the maximum flow rate for stable cell separation by ~10-fold (from 2 mL·hr-1 to 20 mL·hr-1). Whilst minor distortion of flow occurred around each post, both the sample and the buffer streams maintained their laminar nature, a feature that is crucial for the sorting operation. The optimal gap height for the passage of human blood cells (erythrocytes, 6-8 μm; leukocytes, 8-10 μm) was experimentally determined; at a height of 10 μm, most blood cells (>99%) were found to pass under the barrier (Figure S3). Note that samples can be pre-labeled with a cocktail of cancer-specific microbeads (Figure S4) to extrinsically enlarge the overall CTC size (>10 μm). This strategy incorporates cancer molecular selectivity and helps to ensure effective CTC sorting with broad size ranges.
We first assessed the sorting capability of the μFCS, utilizing a device with a straight line-shaped barrier (Figure 1b). Samples containing two differently-sized bead populations (7 and 15 μm in diameter, respectively) were prepared to mimic a biological mixture of human leukocytes and cancer cells. The bead mixture and a buffer solution were simultaneously introduced to the chip at the same flow rate, and the beads were sorted in a continuous-flow manner (see Supplementary Movies 1 and 2 for bead and cell separation, respectively). The collected bead populations were then analyzed by flow cytometry. Even a very low concentration of large beads (~0.23%) in the initial mixture could be enriched to a highly purified fraction (>98%) after the μFCS processing (Figure 2a).
The sorting performance of the μFCS was quantitatively evaluated by measuring two parameters: enrichment ratio (COL·COS-1)·(CIL·CIS-1)−1 and recovery rate COL·CIL-1, where CIS and COS are the concentrations of small cells before and after sorting respectively, and CIL and COL are the concentrations of large cells before and after sorting respectively. Figure 2b shows the measured enrichment ratios and recovery rates at different volumetric flow rates. High enrichment (>2×104) could be achieved even up to 10 mL·hr-1, while the recovery rate remained consistently high (>95%). The μFCS thus can serve as a platform to concentrate very sparse entities in a large volume of complex biological sample. The maximum flow rate for the current PDMS prototype was set by changes in the gap height, as induced from the pressure buildup; we expect further enhancement in the achievable flow rate by switching to rigid materials (e.g., glass, poly(methyl methacrylate), polycarbonate) for the fluidic structure.
We next tested the capacity of the μFCS for on-chip capture, enumeration and molecular screening. We implemented the μFCS in its capturing mode, by embedding cell capture sites along the physical barrier (Figure 3a). The capture sites have narrow bypassing channels, which help to retain trapped cells by exploiting differences in hydrodynamic resistances.[20] The capture efficiency was first evaluated using whole blood spiked with fluorescently-labeled cancer cells (human A431 cancer cells, ~15 μm diameter in suspension, see Materials and Methods in Supporting Information for experimental details). Samples with varying cancer cell concentrations were prepared in anti-coagulated whole blood and introduced to the μFCS at a flow rate of 5 mL·hr-1. Indeed, the target cancer cells were individually captured at the pre-defined sites, which served to facilitate the enumeration process. The measured cell counts showed excellent agreement with expected cell counts, even at very low initial cancer cell concentrations (Figure 3b).
The μFCS was further applied to perform multiplexed molecular analyses on captured cells, a crucial task not only to correctly identifying cancer cells, but also to investigating heterogeneity in cancer population and drug responsiveness. Different types of cancer cells (A431 and SkBr3) were separately spiked into anti-coagulated whole blood and processed by the μFCS. Captured cells were labeled for nucleus and semi-permeablized by sequentially flowing fluorescent dyes (Hoechst nuclear dye) and saponin. Subsequently, a mixture of antibodies was injected to probe for extracellular (EGFR: epidermal growth factor receptor) as well as intracellular (cytokeratin) biomarkers. Briefly, 5 μg·mL-1 of EGFR and cytokeratin antibodies were introduced as a antibody cocktail for simultaneous staining (see Materials and Methods in Supporting Information for experimental details). Fluorescence micrographs (Figure 3c) confirmed efficient cell-staining without any cell loss. In addition, multiplexed screening using different biomarkers helps to differentiate tumor types: A431 cells show high EGFR but low cytokeratin expression while SKBR3 cells indicate the reverse, demonstrating robust CTC detection and identification on-chip.
Captured cells can be monitored to evaluate drug treatment efficacy. As a model system, we probed the cells for their cellular affinity for Olaparib™, a small molecule inhibitor of the nuclear DNA repair enzyme poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP). Two different types of breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-436, PARPhigh; SkBr3, PARPlow) were separately spiked into whole blood, and captured by the μFCS. We next introduced a fluorescent version of PARP-inhibitor[21] to the captured cells. For comparative analysis, the cells were also immunostained for PARP expression by flowing fluorescent antibodies to PARP. Even within the same tumor type, there was significant cellular heterogeneity in protein expression and drug binding. This operation allowed direct and simultaneous measurements of an intracellular drug target and relevant drug concentration/affinity, as well as the correlation (Figure 3d).
The μFCS offers a facile way to release and retrieve captured cells for comprehensive off-chip analyses (e.g., proteomic, genomic assays), a key feature often missing in most CTC detection platforms. By reversing the flow direction, the captured cells can be dislodged and channeled to a sample inlet by laminar flow (Supplementary Movie 3). Figure 3e shows collected cancer cells at an inlet, where cells can adhere and be cultured on-chip. Due to the large abundance of haemotologic cells in whole blood, the reverse flow carried over residual leukocytes and red blood cells inside the fluidic channel; however, only the cancer cells adhered to the device surface while residual blood cells were easily removed by a buffer flush. The purity of the on-chip cultured cancer cells was confirmed by their membrane expression of EGFR (Figure 3e).
The utility of the μFCS platform was further demonstrated by investigating CTCs in tumor-bearing animals. A tumor metastasis model was obtained by intravenously injecting murine melanoma cells (B16-F10 expressing red fluorescent protein) into mice.[22, 23] Two weeks post injection, lung metastases were apparent as confirmed by computerized tomography (CT) scanning (Figure 4a). Whole blood was obtained from mice and treated with sodium citrate to prevent coagulation. The samples were then aliquoted for μFCS detection and flow cytometry. As shown in Figure 4b, CTCs in whole blood could be effectively captured and enumerated by the μFCS. The presence of CTCs was also independently confirmed and quantified by fluorescence flow cytometry analysis on red blood cell-lysed samples. Note that CTC counts by the μFCS were significantly higher (153 %) than those by flow cytometry, mainly due to the minimal sample processing requirements by the μFCS.
We next performed genetic analyses on the captured CTCs. Cell-lysis buffer was injected through the device to rupture cells, and total cellular RNA was extracted. As a control, RNA was extracted from an equal volume of unsorted whole blood from the same animal. The collected nucleic acid was then analyzed for tumor-specific markers by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The transcriptional activities of the following melanoma-associated markers were measured: dopachrome tautomerase (DCT), melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM), Melan-A (Mlana), melanocyte protein 17 (Pmel17), tyrosinase and tyrosinase related protein 1 (TRP1).[24-27] Whole blood-derived RNA was unable to generate a discernible tumor signature (Figure S5); the low abundance of tumor RNA was entirely masked by the predominance of RNA from host cells (e.g., leukocytes). Such interference was absent in the μFCS-purified samples. Moreover, the transcriptional signature was statistically similar (p > 0.1) to that of parental melanoma tumor cells in culture (Figure 4c).
In summary, we have developed a new diagnostic μFCS platform for accurate and rapid CTC detection in whole blood, based on size-separating technique. The system provides versatile, on-chip characterization on CTCs, including tumor cell capture and counting, molecular profiling on multiple biomarkers, and monitoring of drug treatment, all at a single-cell resolution. Importantly, the μFCS permits facile retrieval of the captured cells for extensive off-chip studies (e.g., culture, genomic studies). Through extrinsic manipulation of cell size with immuno-microbeads, the μFCS platform could be extended to enrich CTCs of broader size range as well as other types of rare cells in circulation (e.g., nucleated red blood cells,[28] stem cells, immune cells). We envision further advancing the technology 1) by cascading devices with different barrier height to perform multiple-size separation at finer resolution, and 2) through integration with other functional modalities (e.g., different types of cell separators, detectors, on-chip PCR). Such systems would enable comprehensive, point-of-care analyses on rare cells, finding significant diagnostic applications.

Funnywoman Jennifer Saunders was left stunned when busty singer Dolly Parton flashed her tattooed breasts in a restaurant.
The "Absolutely Fabulous" star was sharing a meal with fellow comedienne Roseanne Barr when the country legend joined them during a discussion about body art.
RELATED: Fabulous Over 50
Parton confessed she has several inkings on her chest -- and she left Saunders and Barr open-mouthed by unzipping her top and showing off her breasts.
RELATED: Reveal: Tattoos of 2012
Saunders tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "I was in a restaurant with Rosanne Barr. Dolly was there and talking about tattoos. She winked at us and said, 'This will go no further,' and then undid her top and there were her t--s and she has the most exquisite tattoos -- angels and butterflies."

A few weeks ago, Alberto Monserrate announced he will step down from the Minneapolis School Board after serving one term. As a private citizen, Monserrate has balanced his public service with the demands of wide-ranging business interests – running a Latino-oriented media company that has expanded into advertising, public relations, and even fashion. Meanwhile, the Minneapolis schools face significant issues that include student achievement, assessment, funding, and equal treatment. Monserrate told KFAI's Rico Morales that after chairing the board for two years he decided to spend this last year on the board focusing on the issues that led him to run for office in the first place.
Shez Cassim is a Minnesotan who spent most of 2013 in a prison in the United Arab Emirates. His nine-month ordeal began when U.A.E. authorities took offense to a satiric video he posted on You Tube. Cassim's jailers would not tell him why he was imprisoned. His release came only after he was convicted of defaming the country, sentenced to a year in prison and given credit for time served.
KFAI's Christina Cerruti talked with Shez Cassim in Minneapolis, and filed this report.
Each week, KFAI's Cinema Shanty considers a current film that will screen in the Twin Cities. Join Kathie Smith and John Moret as they discuss the most engaging and provocative cinema being produced today. This week, they talk about a Sebastián Lelio film called "Gloria".
The Twin Cities are part of a national effort to eradicate homelessness among veterans sometime during the next two years. Eleven state agencies are working to get to this goal ahead of similar efforts in other participating cities in Ohio and Iowa. KFAI recently talked with two leaders in Minnesota's campaign to address this issue – Mikkel Beckmen of Heading Home Hennepin and Cathy ten Broeke, the State Director to Prevent and End Homelessness. ten Broeke talked with KFAI's Diksha Maurya who asked about the inter-city competition to see to it that our veterans do not live on the street.
An overnight musical marathon, protesting drone warfare, took place on the West Bank this past weekend. The effort was inspired by a comment last summer from Alan Sparhawk of the Duluth indie trio Low after his band filled an entire 27-minute set with one song. "Drone, not drones," was Sparhawk's explanation.
The Drone Not Drones benefit raised money for Doctors Without Borders and gave musicians a chance to voice their opposition to the Obama Administration's use of unmanned aircraft to kill terrorism suspects in Afghanistan and Pakistan. KFAI correspondent Ryan Dawes was on the scene and filed this report.
Economic indicators suggest that there is a long-awaited recovery underway in key areas around our region, including housing and employment.
Both government and private interests want the recovery to get stronger, but how best to make that happen is often at issue.
One of the less-well-known players in this effort is a nonprofit organization called "Greater MSP". Mostly funded by private companies, Greater MSP works to create a regional economic development strategy, to focus on job retention and expansion, and to market our region around the world. Michael Langley is the founding CEO of Greater MSP. He talked with KFAI's Ron Thums.
It's not cold where we are going tonight on Jet Set Planet. That's all you need to know. Join host Glen Leslie, and his co-host for the evening Steve Kyle, for 90 minutes of the best in Exotica to celebrate the middle of the coldest months we've seen in a long time around these parts. Steve brings in a pile of LPs from his personal collection as we do our best to keep the tiki torches burning bright, keeping us warm in the face of Old Man Winter and his damn sno-cone machine. You'll hear from the famous Exotica practitioners as well as from the unknowns — with a handful of hacks thrown in for good measure. So bust out the rum for a night of summer, in the middle of winter – on Jet Set Planet, Friday Nights at 9 on KFAI.
An international group of researchers, including astronomers from the University of Minnesota, have launched a new "citizen science" project called Galaxy Zoo. The project allows anyone to become a cosmic explorer by looking for black holes in space. And yes, this is something you can do from the comfort of your own home.
Lawrence Rudnick is a University of Minnesota Professor and an astrophysicist who studies large-scale structures in the Universe. He talked with KFAI's John Helgeson, who asked the professor why black holes are important.
Female-headed households in Minnesota are the most likely type of family configuration to be in poverty. And a persistent wage gap and "occupational clustering" contribute to the poverty that afflicts women and their families.
These are some of the findings of a study of Women's Economic Security in the state of Minnesota. The report is the work of the Women's Foundation of Minnesota and the Center on Women and Public Policy at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School.
Deb Fitzpatrick is director of the Center on Women and Public Policy. She talked with KFAI's Paul Brohaugh on the Morning Blend.
Year after year, the Twin Cities earns national attention for its talented songwriters. Not only is Minnesota home to a vibrant live music scene, but an academic one as well—with 37 accredited music schools in our state. But the way we consume music is rapidly changing. Streaming services like Spotify and Rdio provide access to millions of songs without having to buy a hard copy, or even download tracks. So how does technology and a changing music business affect the sustainability of our local music scene?
This week MinneCulture explores how today's local musicians are navigating the ever-changing landscape of the music business, in an audio documentary produced for KFAI by Allegra Oxborough. Tune in on Wednesday, February 5, at 7:30pm.

Dr. Elizabeth Hale's Ratings
I am a woman in my 50's and have been so very happy having found Dr. Elizabeth Hale. She is knowledgeable and explains exactly what she is doing and the effect it will have on my skin and my face. She is very skillful, with a light touch - and very precise. Dr. Hale is from the school of "less is more" - the result being a natural, rested appearance.
Dr. Hale also performs my annual body check of moles, freckles etc. She takes her time and I never feel as though she is rushed or rushing me.
The entire staff is kind and professional.
I highly recommend Dr. Hale.

I LOVE Dr. Hale... I've seen her for both laser and fillers appointments and have been extremely satisfied with the results... ALWAYS!

An amazing dermatologist who likely saved my life. I visited her with what I believed to be a minor lesion on my right arm. It turned out to be a melanoma that had been passed over by my previous dermatologist. I would recommend her unconditionally to anyone..

I prefer Dr. Hale's "less is more" approach to fillers and love that she keeps me looking natural and like myself. So many of my friends are doing too much and look "overdone". Dr. Hale has a light touch, and I rarely have any bruising. I prefer to go back for touchups, rather than getting overfilled. She is the best!

I find it interesting to see only perfect reviews of this doctor. She is a good dermatologist and is knowledgeable with lasers, but I would never recommend her for any facial filler. Her technique is inferior with lots of unnecessary bruising and minimal results.
Was this rating useful? 3 [[ userState['ratings'][2669136].votes_count ]]
When I found out that I had a basal cell carcinoma on the tip of my nose (yes, the worst possible location you can imagine), I started researching qualified Mohs-procedure surgeons. Every road led to Dr. Hale, and I now know why. Yes, Dr. Hale has all the wonderful characteristics mentioned in other reviews - thorough, concerned, professional, kind, and more.
But beyond these factors, Dr. Hale is an incredibly skilled surgeon. In my case, the Mohs procedure required the doctor to carve out a hole in my nose (slightly larger than the diameter of cigarette burn), which then needed to be stitched up in a fashion that would leave minimal scarring. As you can imagine, I was absolutely terrified, and also convinced that there was no way my nose would ever heal from such an invasive procedure.
Dr. Hale (and her equally kind, attentive and professional staff) did an absolutely outstanding job on my Mohs procedure. She explained every step in the procedure as we went along, gave me options where relevant, and operated both thoroughly and quickly. Dr. Hale made very sure that she removed all of the dangerous cells, while also protecting the healthy tissue wherever possible. Ultimately, she had to create several significant incisions to repair the site of the damage, and very skillfully manipulated the skin to close the hole.
At this point (2 months later), I'm still healing, but I have no doubt that I will have no scarring at all. Dr. Hale has generously offered laser treatments, which will continue to reduce the scarring. But in reality, most people don't even notice the scar - I could happily live with it as is.
I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Hale, for tackling a scary surgery in a very highly visible location. I've vowed to bake brownies to thank her, but for now, this review will have to suffice!
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2496237].votes_count ]]
Dr. Hale is a top-notch dermatologist-- I could not recommend her more enthusiastically. Her stellar clinical credentials, professionalism, sensitivity and intelligence combine to make her make her a truly exceptional physician.
She has a warm and positive demeanor, and really listens to her patients' needs. In my case, I first sought Dr. Hale out for a cosmetic procedure to help relieve my 'tired look'. I was relieved to hear her philosophy was to take a conservative approach. I was also delighted to find she had an expert aesthetic eye and gentle touch. (I am prone to bruising, but I had almost no after-effects after she administered Belotero to my undereye.)
When I initially looked into getting fillers, I was very worried about looking artificial. Indeed, I consulted with several 'rock star' dermatologists before proceeding with Dr. Hale. The other physicians didn't listen to nor address my concerns, and wanted to perform far many more procedures than I felt was necessary. There was never a need to fear this with Dr. Hale. She made me comfortable from the moment she walked in the room, and she was very patient, taking the time to step me through my questions and anxieties. Most importantly, I left her office looking healthy, rested—and very natural.
I could not recommend her more highly. In fact, I have several relatives and friends who have since become Dr. Hale-converts. That is endorsement unto itself!! I cannot imagine using another dermatologist, and I trust she will be keeping me looking 'healthy and rested' for many years to come.

Dr. Elizabeth Hale is the BEST. She is so knowledgeable and I saw an immediate different verse another plastic surgeon I was seeing. She is simply amazing!

Dr. Hale is hands down the best doctor I have ever met. not only did she save my face from what could have been serious cancer with irreversible damage, she performed a miracle procedure which most other doctors would not have even attempted. additionally, she is an exceptional dermatologist who is practical, intelligent and has a talent for creating a realistic plan for any situation.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Hale. She has an amazing bedside manner and is such a professional and does great work. I've seen a number of others doctors for fillers and the results I felt were so so. Dr. Hale first corrected a previous issue to get me back to neutral and then I went back to see what she suggested to regain some volume loss in my face. She suggested fillers and botox which she did with a gentle touch. I love the results and I have no bruising. (I did use the numbing cream). I'll would go back to her and recommend her to others in a heart beat! I'll also use her for my annual body screening.

"While we firmly believe that 'source capture' is by far the most effective way to keep the air in your salon clean, there are instances where using a room air cleaner can be effective," says Leonard Roulier III, vice president of Salon Pure Air, which has just introduced the Salon Pure Air III and IV Room Air Cleaners. "A room air cleaning system can be used as a supplemental system to remove any residual fumes and dust that might escape a source capture system. This type of system can also be used in instances where a source capture system is not practical or cost effective such as in salons with several nail technicians." The Salon Pure Air III is recommended if your primary concern is dust and fume removal, while the Salon Pure Air IV is the better choice if odor is your primary concern.

I like the name Chance, especially with his brothers names. It is easy to get cold feet at the end, but you chose it for a reason.
October 3rd, 2013 04:17 PM #7
I prefer Chase more than Chance. Chance seems like you're tempting fate a bit. He may turn out to be a good citizen - or not. It's all up to chance. Well, isn't that the way of the world? Compared to the strong names of Drake and Ethan, Chance doesn't make the grade for me. I don't know if he'll get any grief if you choose Chance, it's just not my style. Children are being given much stranger word names than Chance nowadays. If you and your husband love the name, go for it! That's the bottom line.All the best,

"We stayed in this waterfront cottage for a week along with another couple. This is our second time to stay in this property, and we were not disappointed. It is a lovely cottage and a lovely setting (Chalk Pond). The other couple were just as happy with it as we were. We would definitely stay here again."Guest: B&E Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: October 2, 2015View listing
"Our family of five (mom,dad,three teen boys),my mother and our two dogs had a wonderful week here! The owners welcomed Us and helped us with whatever we needed. There was plenty of parking and a boat ramp nearby. We moored our boat on the dock right out the back door. The house was clean and rustic. This vacation was truly about the lake! Wake boarding,water skiing,tubing, sight seeing and dining on the water! There is always something to do!I would recommend this house for families with older kids due to being right on the water. Great vacation!"Guest: Kari G Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 23, 2015View listing
"We rented this lovely home for the ski season. It is large, and yet cozy! The house is beautifully decorated and is stocked with all the supplies a family needs to feel at home. It is extremely convenient to Mt. Sunapee and the views of the lake and mountains are just spectacular. The owner is well organized and very nice to work with. There are separate spaces for kids and guests. The dining table can easily fit 8-10 people for dinner or games! The living room with its charming fireplace is perfect to relax in after a great day of skiing. Thank you for a wonderful rental experience!"Guest: Mary Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: March 25, 2015View listing

Is Taking Care of Kids Really the Hardest Job?
By sleepingshouldbeeasy on July 08, 2014
I'm guessing you're exhausted by the time you fall asleep. You may have started your day waking up at an ungodly hour. You go to work which, in comparison, feels like a refuge from the chaos of caring for your kids. Your "day shift" then ends only to continue to the "night shift" of yet more child rearing and housekeeping. Or you've been home with the kids and realize this has been more challenging than any day you've been paid to work in the past. It's no wonder they say taking care of kids is the hardest job in the world.
I had always believed taking care of kids is not for the faint of heart. I read statistics in the past that claimed a stay-at-home parent's salary, if paid, would be worth at least $100,000. Such is the testament of the work and dedication we put into this job.
And I agreed for the longest time because, truthfully, taking care of kids has been harder than my own day job. Yes, there are perks—during maternity leave, I got to nap or veg out when the kids did. I didn't have to get ready, packing a lunch or driving anywhere. And I could run errands and tend to whatever tasks needed to be done. Plus I'm free to have fun with my kids.
But let's be honest. I take some days off here and there to hang out with my kids at home, and I am utterly exhausted by the end of the day, much more so than when I go to work. Weekends would be just as tiring if my husband weren't there as well. I couldn't imagine doing this for a length of time with no foreseeable end.
Taking care of kids is physically more exhausting. I have a desk job, so I don't do much heavy lifting or carrying the way I do when I tote my babies around or push their gigantic stroller everywhere.
I'm also blessed with a stress-free job. It's got the right balance of challenges and autonomy where I'm driven, but not drained. So emotionally, even my day job is less harried than the toll of following through with consequences or appeasing the frustration when a baby who won't nap.
It seems I'm not alone, either. A recent study found that women are more stressed at home than at work. Perhaps a finding not too shocking to many working moms.
And at work, I'm able to enter "flow," which is a term coined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced "cheeks sent me high"). In his book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, he describes flow as when individuals are so absorbed and concentrated on a project that time flies by. He credits this kind of focus as one of the tenets of happiness: Do concentrated work, and you will leave feeling fulfilled and challenged.
The catch? It takes time to enter this flow. Uninterrupted time. Yeah… not gonna happen with kids in tow.
This doesn't even touch on the day-to-day reasons why taking care of kids is harder than a day job:
- You can't call in sick (who's going to sub for you?).
- It's round the clock.
- There are no direct monetary rewards.
- You get no feedback or training (do hugs and tantrums count?).
- You can't quit.
So for me, yes, taking care of kids is generally harder than my paid job. While I love taking days off to hang out with them and it's one of my favorite things to do, those days are also some of the most tiring ones I have.
But I realize this is a singular way of comparing the two. I've only known one kind of day job—mine. I started to think about other careers and, from the sounds of it, I'd venture to say that there are many jobs much more difficult than being with your kids at home.
Take for instance, being with other people's kids: teachers.
When I was pregnant, I'd go on baby boards and read about fellow pregnant moms who had to stand all day long—in a classroom full of kids.
I knew to shut my mouth and not complain.
Because really, I find it difficult to manage three kids by myself; to think that teachers do this with a zillion more kids every day is humbling.
Or how about high-risk jobs like firefighters or police officers? I imagine those day jobs would be much harder and more stressful than dealing with kids.
Not to mention high-intensity jobs like doctors and nurses or jobs with loads of responsibilities like pilots. I also remember meeting fellow moms who were registered nurses and I couldn't imagine doing what they do day in and day out. Although SSBE reader Vanessa mentioned that as a former nurse, she finds her old day job is still harder than staying home with the kids.
And of course you have ridiculously stressful jobs like journalists and news reporters and lawyers who probably breath a sigh of relief the minute they walk in the door, no matter how chaotic their homes may be.
Again, I could be making this all up. These are my educated guesses, and I'll never be able to compare taking care of kids to anything other than my own job.

Afghanistan: UPDATE: Karzai intervenes in the case of Parwiz Kambakhsh
Parwiz's brother Yaqub told Kabulpress today that he had asked the Supreme Court of Afghanistan to transfer the case from the northern province of Balkh to Kabul. The Court accepted and sent a letter to the Balkh court which asked them to stop the proceedings there. Next week the case will be moved to Kabul.
A Kabulpress source, very close to the Karzai administration, who asked not to be identified, said that President Karzai had asked Supreme Court Chief Justice, Abdul Salam Azimi, to find a solution for releasing Parwiz.
The source added: It was also mentioned that Afghanistan's Attorney General Jabbar Sabit should tell the Balkh attorney Khaliq to cease all threats against journalists. Khaliq is the attorney who held a press conference and warned, "I will arrest all journalists who defend Parwiz Kambakhsh."

Overall, we really enjoyed staying at Francesco and would recommend it highly to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Milan.
overall it was a perfect experince being a host at francescos apartment!!!
The location was convenient to the city center and the place was very clean and well kept.
The wifi internet is excellent, the bedroom is large and comfortable.
On top of that, he recommended several amazing restaurants to me, and even gave me a ride to one of them on his scooter.
We loved the apartment. Very spacious and comfortable. Francesco was a great host and was kind enough to meet us at the apartment to let us in. Really enjoyed our stay.
We had a lovely stay in Milan made even more special by our stay in Francesco's apartment.
He was very helpful before we arrived with directions and our travel from the Airport to the flat was seamless following them.
The apartment is situated close to local amenities such as supermarkets and a number of reasonably priced restaurants. It was in easy ready of the Duomo and we travelled to the Milan Expo from the apartment in less than an hour.
It was my partner's first Airbnb experience and I feel any other bookings he would make in the future would have a lot to live up to after this. The décor is stunning, much better than in the photographs and the kitchen and bathroom were particularly good. The kitchen has all of the facilities you will need to cook during your stay.
I would definitely stay with Francesco again if I was in Milan
Our experience in Milan was made extraordinary by staying in Francesco's apartment! Our daughter had a medical emergency so we had to stay on an extra, unplanned week. His place, is clean, sleek, beautifully designed and well appointed in every way. We had everything we needed for cooking meals and spending more time in than out. We were grateful for the A/C as the temp hovered near 100 F every day. Francesco has an interesting collection of books and music. Most importantly, he is kind and thoughtful, making every attempt to have our stay be as comfortable as possible. Thank you, Francesco, for a memorable time!
Francesco was great and very hospitable and helped us with whatever we needed. Apartment was lovely and felt like home away from home. I would definitely recommend for a stay in Milan.
We arrived in Milan by car after travelling various parts of Italy. Francesco's apartment was a nice relief after staying in hotel rooms and it was great to have some space. The apartment was spacious, modern, clean and comfortable. Great bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, comfy bed, Francesco also has a great collection of reference books and music which was an unexpected bonus.
First time in Milan for us and the location was very handy, only 3 stops on the Yellow Subway line from Duomo and if you arrive by car, Franscesco will organise a parking spot for you in the next building for 15 euro a day which was better than 25 which we paid in Bologna.
Lots of great restaurants and bars within walking distance and Francesco will make bookings for you for those struggling with Italian...I am very envious of his ability to speak English so well. Had our last dinner in Italy, of seafood paella at Tapa Ristorante which was devine..
The apartment is fully equipped with airconditioning which was heavenly as there was a heatwave while we were there. There is also a great supermarket right across the road which was very handy.
Overall, we really enjoyed staying at Francesco and would recommend it highly to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Milan.
El departamento de Francesco es ideal para visitar Milán. Funcional y moderno nos sentimos como en casa. Francesco es un anfitrión atento y servicial y nos sentimos muy a gusto. El barrio, tranquilo pero con lugares muy buenos para comer y comprar esta cerca del metro lo que lo vuelve muy conveniente.
L'appartamento di Francesco è nuovo e tenuto benissimo in una zona molto centrale di Milano vicinissima al centro. Francesco gentilissimo e disponibilissimo e se torniamo a Milano cercheremo di stare da lui.
About the Host, Francesco
:) I enjoy staying active! I want you to experience Milan to its fullest potential and have the best time possible while doing it!

Project BRZ: The First 18 Months
It's been 18 months since I purchased my Subaru BRZ. It's been as fun a car as I expected, plus I've had some unexpected adventures with it, both good and bad. Here's a review of my progress so far. »
It's been 18 months since I purchased my Subaru BRZ. It's been as fun a car as I expected, plus I've had some unexpected adventures with it, both good and bad. Here's a review of my progress so far. »
"Tell me, do you bleed?" the new 2016 Mazda Miata Club Edition asked its chief rival in the small sports car space, the Subaru BRZ, as they showed up for Motor Trend's track-day comparison test at Willow Springs. "...You will."
The poor Subaru BRZ! It's one of the best dedicated sports cars of our time, and despite a ton of initial hype, it's had a hard time selling beyond a small but dedicated fanbase. It can't shake the widespread sentiment that it needs more power. »
As I calmly waited for the car to arrive, I felt none of the usual anticipation for the experience that lay before me. The burbly metallic blue coupe eventually rolled up, giving me the chance to convince the car's caretaker to hand over the keys. It was at that point when I realized that almost everything I thought I… »
Yes, they're awfully close to BMW's Yas Marina Blue, but I have to admit Subaru's limited-edition Series Hyper.Blue BRZ and WRX STI look sexy as hell. Only 700 STIs and 500 BRZs will have the color when they go on sale this fall. Get 'em while they last. »
I recently had the chance to compare my Nissan Skyline GT-R to a Scion FR-S. Yes, folks, that's right: I've compared my legendary, powerful, fabled, privately imported, mad tyte JDM yo Nissan Skyline GT-R to a budget-priced Toyota with more interior plastic than a McDonald's Play Place. »
The new 2016 Mazda Miata is so good that Fiat is going to borrow its underpinnings for a new 124 Spider. But what of its chief current rival, the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ? That car is due for a replacement eventually, and what will it do then? »
The Isle of Man is a small scenic stretch of land situated in a spot of sea between the United Kingdom and Ireland. It's also the home to one of the most (if not THE most) insane bit of motorsports on the planet. »
First off, apologies for possibly THE most distasteful Oregon Trail Rally/Oregon Trail Video Game joke/analogy ever conceived. With every tragedy comes opportunity - like making a drawing I could never have gotten away with otherwise.
In America, car culture seems to always be about the Big Numbers. Zero to 60. The quarter mile. Top speed. Nobody cares how a car actually drives, or the experience it delivers, or how it makes you feel, just how it puts down the Big Numbers. This is why the Subaru BRZ has a hard time fitting in.
I'm rolling in the special-edition Subaru BRZ Series.Blue for the next week. It's gonna be a good week. »
Does the Subaru BRZ really need more power? I count myself among the few who enjoy it just fine the way it is, but even I recognize that a turbo is probably what the doctor ordered to fix its lagging sales. That's not the BRZ we're getting. What we are getting is the BRZ tS. »
Earlier this week, Subaru unveiled the BRZ STi concept at the 2015 New York International Auto Show, and my now-sentient camera took a few shots of the long-awaited coupe without my knowledge. Here are those high-res pictures, and may they find their way onto your collective desktops safely. Enjoy! »
Fans of the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S have been hounding at their respective manufacturers for years now about hotted-up versions, and those pleas have so far fallen on deaf ears. But now, with the Subaru BRZ STI Performance Concept, someone seems to have been listening. Sort of. But not really.
It's probably not an STI version. Or maybe it is? »
About a year ago I leased a Subaru BRZ; I thought it would be awesome. Now I'm annoyed by the lack of power and could really use something with more space. How would I go about getting out of the lease? Should I suck it up and pay the penalty, or stick it out and wait until the lease is over? »
Some gearheads love horsepower. Some love torque. Some love RPM. This car is for that third group. »
There have already been eleventy zillion reviews of the Toyobaru twins, all saying that it's the second coming of the affordable lightweight sports coupe. We know how it does on the track, and in the hands of a Jalopnik editor for a day trip, but what's it like to live with this car every day? How does it work in the… »
I knew I didn't have long with the Subaru BRZ, a morning at most. So I got up early and pointed north to the best backroads I know. »
It seems Toyota 86/Scion FR-S chief engineer Tetsuya Tada genuinely spooked some people when he said it's possible Toyota could team up with BMW instead of Subaru for the next generation of their small sports car. One of those people was Fuji Heavy Industries president Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, who says that's just not true. »
