- Interpretation of an extended auto-antibody profile in a well characterised Australian systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) cohort utilising Principle Components Analysis. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Arthritis Rheumatol 2015 Aug 5.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
To determine the relationships between systemic sclerosis (SSc) related autoantibodies (AA), and their clinical associations, in a well characterised Australian patient cohort.Serum from 505 Australian SSc patients were analysed with a line immunoassay (EUROLINE, Euroimmun, Lubeck, Germany) for AA to centromere (CENP) A and B, RNA polymerase III (RNAP3) (11 and 155 epitopes), NOR-90, Fibrillarin, Th/To, PMScl-75 and PMScl-100, Ku, Topoisomerase-1 (Topo1), TRIM21/Ro52 and PDGF-Receptor (PDGFR). Patient subgroups were identified by hierarchical clustering of the first two dimensions of a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) of quantitative AA scores. Results were compared with detailed clinical data.449/505 patients were positive for at least one immunoblot AA. Heatmap visualisation of AA scores, and PCA clustering, demonstrated strong, mutually exclusive relationships between CENP, RNAP3 and Topo1. Five patient clusters were identified (CENP, RNAP3 'strong', RNAP3 'weak', Topo1, "Other"). Clinical features associated with CENP, RNAP3 and Topo1 were consistent with previously published reports concerning limited cutaneous and diffuse cutaneous SSc. A novel finding was the statistical separation of RNAP3 into two clusters. RNAP3 'strong' patients had an increased risk of gastric antral vascular ectasia, but a lower risk of oesophageal dysmotility. "Other" patients were more likely to be males and have a history of smoking and malignancy, but less likely to have telangiectasia, Raynaud's phenomenon and joint contractures.Five major autoantibody clusters, with specific clinical and serological associations, were identified in Australian SSc patients. Sub-classification and disease stratification utilising AAs, may have clinical utility, particularly in early disease. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
- [Pulmonary manifestations of antisynthetase syndrome]. [English Abstract, Journal Article, Review]
- Rev Mal Respir 2015 Jun; 32(6):618-28.
- AbstractPublisher Full TextPublisher Full Text
Antisynthetase syndrome is an inflammatory myopathy frequently associated with pulmonary manifestations, especially interstitial lung diseases, and uncommonly pulmonary hypertension. In the context of a suggestive clinical and radiological picture, positive anti-RNA synthetase antibodies confirm the diagnosis. Anti-Jo1, anti-PL7, and anti-PL12 antibodies are the more commonly encountered. The presence of a number of extra-thoracic manifestations in association with pulmonary disease may suggest the diagnosis. These include: myalgia or muscular deficit, Raynaud's phenomenon, polyarthritis, fever, mechanics hands. Serum creatine kinase levels are usually increased. Electromyogram, muscular magnetic resonance imaging or muscle pathology are not mandatory to make the diagnosis. There is a high variability in symptoms and severity, between patients but also during the course of the disease in the same patient. The presence of an interstitial lung disease is a major prognostic factor and an indication for more intensive treatment, principally with systemic corticosteroids with or without immunosuppressive drugs. Improving respiratory physicians' knowledge of this disease, which is often revealed by its pulmonary manifestations, should help diagnosis, therapeutic management, and possibly prognosis.
- Superficial Morphea of the Lips and Gingiva. [Journal Article]
- Acta Dermatovenerol Croat 2015 Jul; 23(2):152-4.
Morphea is a cutaneous disorder characterized by excessive collagen deposition. While in almost all cases the sclerosing process exclusively affects the skin, there are anecdotal cases in which associated mucosal involvement has been described. In 1999 McNiff et al. (1) described the first cases of superficial morphea, presenting as pigmented mucosal lesions with minimal cutaneous induration. Previously, it had been speculated that morphea might result from autoimmunity, infection, drugs, etc (2). Recently, it has been suggested that morphea might be preceded by trauma and radiation (3,4). Most of the patients with oral morphea described in the literature suffered from scar-like or indurated whitish lesions of the oral mucosa, unerupted teeth, root development defects, root atrophy, localized gingival recession, and alveolar bone resorption (5). Furthermore, other orodental abnormalities such as widening of the periodontal space, temporomandibular disorders, and limited mouth opening have been reported in patients with scleroderma. To our knowledge, there are around 25 cases of morphea associated with oral and dental manifestations reported in the literature (5).It is still a matter of debate which treatment option is the most efficient (6). A 38-year-old female patient was referred to our Department due to the hypopigmented lesion extending from the lip to the base of the nose (Figure 1). Clinical examination revealed that the hypopigmented area also extended to the corresponding mucosal side of the lip and on the gingiva adjacent to tooth #22. The patient had a history of trauma (swinging blow) in that area 1.5 years ago. Three months before admittance to our Department she had tooth #22 extracted because of excessive mobility. The patient was concerned as the lesion slowly increased in size. The patient suffered from occasional minor gastric discomfort but was otherwise healthy. She had no history of radiation, autoimmune diseases, Raynaud's phenomenon, etc. Serum testings did not reveal thyroid abnormalities or pernicious anemia. C-reactive protein, glucose levels, liver enzymes, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, serum potassium, sodium, calcium, and phosphates were within normal ranges. As she mentioned a tick bite last year, she was sent for a Borrelia antibodies test which revealed no abnormalities. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, C, and syphilis serology were negative. Histopathology of the mucosal lesion showed thickened, parakeratotic epithelium without significantly expressed papillomatosis together with intensely dense and hyalinized collagen in the underlying stroma as well as significant reduction of elastic fibers and their occasional spread into surrounding adipose tissue. Inflammatory infiltrate was quite sparse and with focally arranged cells, mostly consisting of lymphocytes. The finding was highly suggestive of localized scleroderma i.e. morphea. All antinuclear antibodies including anti-topoisomerase I antibodies were negative. Protein electrophoresis, immunoglobulins, and C3 as well as C4 were within normal ranges. A clinical immunologist concluded that the patient did not meet the criteria for the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis. The patient was treated with zinc supplement (90 mg daily) together with 1% pimecrolimus ointment (Elidel®, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, Montreal, Canada) over two months, but there was no improvement. Following that, topical asiaticoside ointment (Shanghai Modern Pharmaceuticals Co, Shangai, China) and oral Salvia miltiorhiza (Tianjin Tasly Pharmaceutical Co, Tianjin, China) in total duration of nine months were used, again with no improvement. Subsequently, weekly intralesional steroid injections (methylprednisolone acetate, Depo Medrol®, Pfizer Inc. NY, USA, 16 mg divided into four sites on the mucosal side of the lip), together with topical 0.05% bethametasone acetate ointment (Beloderm®, Belupo, Koprivnica, Croatia) three times a day were introduced. The lesion fully resolved after eight weekly intralesional applications (Figure 2). DISCUSSION Upon admission the list of differential diagnosis affecting the skin and mucosa included scleroderma, lichen sclerosus, vitiligo, Lyme disease, graft-versus-host disease, morphea-type basal cell carcinoma, atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini, verruciform xanthoma, eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome, mycosis fungoides, gadolinium induced changes, oral submucous fibrosis, leukoplakia, plaque type lichen, chronic candidiasis, sideropenic anemia, fibrous scar, white sponge nevus, etc (7). However, histopathology revealed the straightforward diagnosis of morphea in our patient. Detailed medical history revealed a tick bite one year ago. Since manifestations of Lyme disease might look similar to these lesions, the patient was referred to the infectologist. No increase in Borrelia burgdorferi titers was noticed and she was negative for HIV, hepatitis B, C and syphilis (8). Furthermore, our patient was occasionally taking proton pump inhibitors. Therefore, drugs were excluded as a possible cause of morphea. As seen in other cases, morphea in our patient was preceded by trauma in that area (after a swinging blow). No widening of the periodontal ligament and no other oral signs of scleroderma were seen in our patient, such as limited mouth opening, xerostomia, temporomandibular joint disease, skeletal asymmetry, unerupted teeth, root development defects, root atrophy, localized gingival recession, and alveolar bone resorption (5,9). There is a wide range of treatment options for cutaneous morphea, such as topical and systemic therapies as well as phototherapy, but randomized controlled trial evidence is still lacking (6). In our case phototherapy was excluded due to the lesion location i.e. the face. On the other hand, treatment options for oral mucosal morphea are very scarce. Brocard et al. (10) published a retrospective study on 17 patients with histologically confirmed localized scleroderma active for more than one year and whose treatment with a high potency dermocorticosteroid was a failure. The patients were then treated with 60 to 90 mg of zinc gluconate daily for three months. An efficacy of 53% was obtained (5 partial remissions and 4 complete remissions) with a mean dose of 83.3 mg/day. Two patients (11.8%) had gastric discomfort that did not require treatment discontinuation. Therefore, the dose of 90 mg zinc gluconate daily was introduced in our patient, but no improvement after two months was observed. Moreover, the patient reported worsening of her gastric discomfort. During the same time she also applied 1% pimecrolimus oitnment on the affected area, again with no improvement. We then started topical therapy suggested by Liu et al. (11) based on the application of topical asiaticoside ointment (Shanghai Modern Pharmaceuticals Co, Shangai, China) and oral Salvia miltiorhiza (Tianjin Tasly Pharmaceutical Co, Tianjin, China). The authors reported this treatment to be beneficial in two patients after nine months. However, this treatment was not efficient in our patient. Finally we started treatment with intralesional steroid injections. A case report of intralesional steroid injection and topical calcipotriene treatment was described by Hanson et al. (17) in a 17 year woman suffering from morphea on her left flank, however without success. This finding is in contrast to ours as lesions seen in our patient subsided after eight weekly intralesional steroid injections. As stated by other authors, evidence based therapy for oral mucosal morphea is almost entirely lacking and management of oral lesions is challenging. When there is only local involvement, i.e. morphea and there are no signs of systemic involvement (scleroderma), it seems that topical therapies are worth trying.
- Circulating adipokines and organ involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Acta Reumatol Port 2015 Apr-Jun; 40(2):156-162.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
In recent years, mediators synthesized in the adipose tissue, the so-called adipokines, have been reported to play important roles in the pathogenesis of autoimmune rheumatic diseases.To compare serum leptin, adiponectin and resistin levels in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and healthy controls. To find possible relationship between serum levels of adipokines and organ involvement with focus on interstitial lung disease in SSc patients.Lung involvement was assessed functionally (body plethysmography, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and six-minute walk test) and radiologically (using average disease extent on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the lungs according to the percentage of interstitial changes) in 29 SSc patients. Quantitative sandwich ELISA was used to measure resistin, leptin and adiponectin concentrations in sera of patients and 30 healthy controls.We found no statistically significant differences in serum resistin, leptin and adiponectin levels between SSc patients and the controls. However, serum adiponectin concentrations were significantly lower in active than in inactive patients, they also correlated positively with vital capacity (VC) (p=0.04) and negatively with Valentini activity score (p=0.04). Serum resistin levels were significantly elevated in patients with digital ulcers (p=0.03) and serum concentrations of leptin were associated with the duration of SSc symptoms other than Raynaud's phenomenon (p<0.01) Conclusions: Serum adiponectin should be further investigated as a candidate for SSc activity marker and resistin may play a role in ulcer development in SSc patients.

Raynaud phenomenon (RP) and associated digital ischemia can be among the most vexing clinical problems for patients with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). Understanding the treatment approach to RP and associated ischemia and how to prevent digital ulcers is important for clinicians caring for these patients. This article reviews the management of RP and digital ischemic ulcers. The magnitude of the problem and pathophysiology of RP are first discussed, with an emphasis on recent advances in understanding of the disease process. Options for the practical pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions for RP and digital ischemic ulcers are detailed.

- AbstractPublisher Full TextPublisher Full Text
The skin is the most common organ system involved in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Nearly all patients experience cutaneous symptoms, including sclerosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, digital ulcers, telangiectasias, and calcinosis. In addition to posing functional challenges, cutaneous symptoms are often a major cause of pain, psychological distress, and body image dissatisfaction. The present article reviews the main features of SSc-related cutaneous manifestations and highlights an evidence-based treatment approach for treating each manifestation. This article also describes novel treatment approaches and opportunities for further research in managing this important clinical dimension of SSc.
- IgG4-Related Tubulointerstitial Nephritis Pattern in 18F-FDG PET/CT. [Journal Article]
- Clin Nucl Med 2015 Oct; 40(10):808-9.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
A 17-year-old adolescent girl was admitted with chronic arthralgia, Raynaud phenomenon, pericarditis, and evidences of chronic diffuse inflammation. F-FDG PET/CT scan was performed to search systemic vasculitis and showed diffuse moderate uptake in the kidneys. We suggested the existence of a nephritis, but the ultrasonography result was normal, and no treatment was introduced. Another F-FDG PET/CT scan was performed 7 months later to explore abdominal pain. It showed again diffuse intense uptake in both kidneys. A proteinuria was highlighted, and renal biopsy allowed to diagnose IgG4-related disease.
- Effect of Peripheral Artery Sympathetic Denervation on Muscle Microperfusion and Macroperfusion in an Animal Peripheral Artery Disease Model Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound and Doppler Flow Measurement. [Journal Article]
- J Vasc Interv Radiol 2015 Sep; 26(9):1396-1402.e2.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
To determine the effects of catheter-based peripheral sympathetic denervation (CPSD) on peripheral artery sympathetic tone and peripheral microperfusion (PMP).The effects of bilateral CPSD in common iliac arteries on PMP of the biceps femoris were determined in pigs using contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and mean transit time (mTT) and wash-in rate (WiR) were calculated during steady-state infusion of INN-sulfur-hexafluoride. Measurements were performed bilaterally at rest and during infusion of adenosine 70 μg/kg/min after unilateral moderate left external iliac artery stenosis.Before CPSD, PMP decreased significantly (P < .05) under adenosine stress compared with resting conditions, with right mTT of 7.5 seconds ± 3.6 versus 16.9 seconds ± 11.9 and WiR of 63.1 arbitrary units (AU) ± 49.0 versus 25.0 AU ± 17.5 and left mTT of 29.2 seconds ± 18.0 versus 56.3 seconds ± 38.7 and WiR of 13.6 AU ± 8.4 versus 6.0 AU ± 4.1. After CPSD, PMP did not differ significantly (P > .05) between conditions of adenosine stress and rest, with right mTT of 19.9 seconds ± 24.7 versus 23.2 seconds ± 21.0 and WiR of 16.2 AU ± 25.0 versus 20.5 AU ± 19.7 and left mTT of 23.3 seconds ± 23.1 versus 25.8 seconds ± 21.7 and WiR of 12.5 AU ± 6.2 versus 20.0 AU ± 12.1.CPSD reduced peripheral artery sympathetic tone and may be an alternative to surgical or computed tomography-guided sympathectomy for the treatment of end-stage peripheral artery disease and Raynaud phenomenon.
- Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia with Unusual Associations. [Journal Article]
- Cureus 2015 Jun; 7(6):e278.
We describe a report of an elderly lady who was hospitalized with progressive worsening of breathlessness and fatigue of one month's duration. Clinical evaluation of the patient revealed hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension without left heart failure, and bilateral gluteal calcinosis cutis. Initially, CREST (calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia) syndrome was considered in view of the telangiectasia and calcinosis cutis, but a strong autosomal inheritance pattern and endoscopies (nasal and upper gastrointestinal) favored a diagnosis of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia with rare associations.
- Anti-centromere antibody-positive Sjögren's syndrome: A distinct clinical subgroup? [Journal Article]
- Int J Rheum Dis 2015 Sep; 18(7):776-82.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
To investigate whether patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) can be distinguished based on the positivity of anti-centromere antibody (ACA), and if so, whether the subgroups differ in their clinical and laboratory features.Eleven patients with ACA-positive and 71 patients ACA-negative SS were examined. All patients had minor salivary gland biopsy; sociodemographic data, glandular and extraglandular manifestations, and laboratory findings, including autoantibodies, complement and immunoglobulin levels, were analyzed. European League Against Rheumatism SS disease activity index (ESSDAI) and SS disease damage index (SSDDI) were also measured.The prevalence of ACA among SS patients was 13.4%. ACA-positive SS patients had a higher prevalence of Raynaud's phenomenon, sclerodactyly and autoimmune thyroiditis and a lower prevalence of anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La antibodies compared to ACA-negative patients. Disease activity was higher in ACA-positive patients than in ACA-negative patients, but the damage index did not differ between the two groups. None of the patients who originally had ACA evolved to having full-blown systemic sclerosis.Patients with SS who have ACA differ from classic SS patients in several clinical and laboratory parameters. ACA should be considered one of the pathogenically relevant autoantibodies for SS.

Design Competition
Congratulations to our 2015 Design Competition Winners!
Browse through the photo gallery above to see images of the first-place designs from the 2015 Design Competition held at our annual convention. You can also check out our photo album on Facebook.
2015 Adjudicators
Thanks to our 2015 Design Competition Adjudicators:
Sir Richard Pilbrow
Lighting Designer
His advice for young designers:
Stanley Meyer
Scenic Designer
From Broadway's Beauty and the Beast to the Tournament of Roses Parade, Stanley Meyer has over 60 regional and international credits in theatre, theme park design and rock tours.
His advice for young designers:
"Always refer to yourself as an artist. It doesn't matter if you are a designer or a technician, we are all members of a family of artists. Diversify. Diversify. Diversify. Seize every opportunity, and design anything and everything that you can. Design a roller coaster, Super Bowl halftime show, Hello Kitty parade, television show, movie, website, the windows at Tiffany's, Lady Gaga's concert tour, King Lear. It doesn't really matter what you design as long as the project stimulates your inner creative spirit and imagination."
Kai Harada
Sound Designer
Working on Broadway, Kai Harada designed sound for a number of shows, including On the Town, Million Dollar Quartet and Follies, which earned him Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations.
His advice for young designers:
"Remember that there are very few absolute laws in sound design, aside from the physics and engineering bits. Trust your gut – and your ears. Push the envelope, and don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and give something a try. Sometimes the best knowledge comes from experimentation, and that can mean stepping away from the computer or the mixing console for a bit. When you start out in this business, pay attention to detail. Learn how to read people. We do not work in a vacuum, so communicate, cooperate and collaborate. But don't forget to have some fun along the way!"
Michael McDonald
Costume Designer
A regional, Broadway and off-Broadway designer, Michael McDonald earned Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations for his work on the 2009 revival of Hair on Broadway.
His advice for young designers:
"I am always telling young designers, 'Your show is not on the Internet!' The Web is useful, but it is no substitute for honest research that you can hold in your hand. Go out in the world, shop a new vintage store, investigate a new neighborhood, spend hours in a bookstore, shop your own buttons. It will enrich your design, your experience, and your credibility."

Candidates may be asked to design for a variety of Children's Theatre productions, ranging from classic to contemporary (including new works).
Founded in 1938, Lexington Children's Theatre is a fully professional, non-profit organization dedicated to the intellectual and cultural enrichment of young people. Our resident professional artistic and production staff will work with the designer in bringing his or her vision to life. In addition to the prize awarded by SETC, LCT will provide housing (semi-private room), one-on-one mentorship opportunities, and up to $1,000 for travel and expenses. This is LCT's second year offering the Ready for Work Award. The artistic team of the theatre is well acquainted with the award, having selected two candidates last year, instead of the requisite one.
The quality of the potential designers was so high, we had a very difficult time deciding with whom to work.
- Vivian Snipes, Artistic Director
Triad Stage
Triad Stage is considered one of the best regional theatres in the United States, presenting classic, contemporary and new theatrical pieces. Its production of Tobacco Road was listed among the "Best of 2007" by The Wall Street Journal. Triad Stage has been spotlighted in American Theatre, Stage Directions, Southern Living and Playbill.com. The American Theatre Wing, founder of the Tony Awards®, named Triad Stage "one of the top ten most promising theatres in the country" as the recipient of a 2010 National Theatre Company Grant.
Triad Stage produces work at two world-class performance venues in North Carolina: The Pyrle Theater in downtown Greensboro, and Hanesbrands Theatre in downtown Winston-Salem.

It's an admirable approach for a chart-topping act on the comeback trail, though it's complicated somewhat by sub-par material.
Matt O'Neill
The overall sound of the record will hit a listener right in the face. In contrast to recent albums like 2005's Bleed Like Me and 2001's BeautifulGarbage, Not Your Kind Of People is a dark, dingy, noisy record – noisier even than their grungy 1996 self-titled debut. The album kicks off with a one-two punch of synth-laced electro-rock in the form of Automatic Systematic Habit and Big Bright World, but even romantic numbers like the title track arrive caked in grime.
It's an admirable approach for a chart-topping act on the comeback trail, though it's complicated somewhat by sub-par material. There's only a handful of moments that really equal the aching beauty and sumptuous violence of the band's earlier work. Singalong lead single Blood For Poppies is a standout, as is the pulsing, swirling I Hate Love. The anthemic Control ("I confess I've lost control," Shirley Manson crows in desperation) is the only true triumph of the set.
Not Your Kind Of People, however, doesn't really sound like a record designed to prove anything. It's a band finding their feet. So, even when Manson stumbles with an awkward lyric or a song seems a little rough, it's easy to forgive them. If nothing else, their next album should be killer.
This week's new sets include tunes from locals Little May (our Album Of The Week), Art Vs Science, Dan Kelly and Boy & Bear, plus releases from Tom Jones, The Decembrists and Mayday Parade.

So I just won a game by checkmate, playing on my Android phone. It then gave several options. I meant to simply exit out but carelessly clicked on the option "review," whereupon the game vanished both from my screen and from my archive of finished games. Can someone explain to me what just happened?
I guess it's a stumper. Let me add another question, then: Does anyone else use the Android app and know what is supposed to happen when "review" is clicked?
Really? No one? Man, when I break a toy it's really broken. :)
Guess that's it for using this software, though. Pity.
An online game or live game?
Did your rating change?
No, so it's as if the game never happened. Bummer. It had a neat finish.
Wierd, never happened to me and I use the android app a lot.
hairysamarian, do you recall the name of your opponent and when the game ended? Alternately, do you have an 'It's your move email' with a link to the game?
No, Calamondin; I only wish that I did. I only remember that it began with a V, which helps not at all given the size of the subscriber list. Additionally, I don't turn email notification on because it floods my inbox.
At this point, I don't really expect to get the game back. It would be nice, but it seems to have vanished for good and all. I've become more interested in learning what happened and what, if anything, I can do to avoid it in the future. It looks like I'm the only one who has seen this happen, though.
My last game vanished after I won from my finished games. This happened on my computer
I didn't think I'd be revisiting this, but it's happened again. I finished a game by stalemate, and as the game should have been saving the app crashed. When I got back in, there was no record of the game. I can't possibly be the only person this has ever happened to. Anyone?
Opponents name, iirc, was aris003. Finished it today, 10/29.

Beautiful area, lodges are fantastic - very clean and comfortable. Hot tub was also brilliant. There are no facilities on site so be prepared to go in to bala for any necessities. Other than that - it is perfect. Highly recommend
This is the second year the we have stayed at Pen Y Garth. Last year we had a different lodge but it wasn't the nicest but by looking around the park and getting to know the area we decided that we wanted to go back but to try a different lodge. We chose Foxglove 4 and we could not have been happier. It was modern, spacious, very clean and the hot tub was fantastic. The park itself is very peaceful and perfect for relaxing but only a short distance from Bala and other surrounding villages. We would definitely stay in the same lodge again.
Pen-y-Garth Lodges are in a beautiful and very peaceful, well maintained setting only a walk away from the outstanding scenery of Lake Bala and close to all amenities in the nearby town. Our Lodge was clean and well set out and ideally sized for two people or couple with a young family. The hot tub was a delightful added bonus, especially when it can be used whilst looking up at the green and pleasant hills surrounding the park. There is a good sized games room on site for indoor activities on a rainy day. The staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. I would recommend this park time and time again.
A great place to stay very quiet site but not far from the small town would probably suggest a car herder
lovely lodge, great that it was dog friendly. sitting in hot tub in the evening with a glass of wine over looking the mountains was just bliss. could do with a little shop 4 milk & bread etc on site & a proper transport service into Bala. no street lights made walking home a nightmare!! loved it tho can't wait 2 go back :)
So relaxing and peaceful
2nd year we have been to the manor house with our family we love it there . We all had a great weekend the kids love the hot tub and playing in the big garden have already booked for next year
Wonderful stay, beautiful lodge and location. Dog's loved it! The lodge was home from home and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Will definitely be booking again
Lovely location. Easy place for traveling to the coast.
Fantastic stay and the hot tub was amazing!!
It was disappointing to find the lodge was basically a mobile home that was covered in plastic wood effect panels. We had an issue on the first morning when the sewerage blocked and raw sewerage came up into the shower cubicle, bath and the toilets. We had to shower in an alternative lodge that morning but this ate into our first full days holiday. Intermittingly, the water supply would not be available. The staff, once you could get hold of them, were helpful. However, they need to answer the emergency mobile numbers they supply in the folder in the lodge. The lodge was very clean and obviously new. The bedrooms were one on-suite double and one twin bedroom which basically was 6' x 6' and very uncomfortable for two adults, maybe ok for a family of four but not for 4 x adults on holiday. The area is beautiful and Bala has an interesting choice of pubs & restaurants. Problem is there are only 2 x taxi service and these are not licensed to call ad-hoc but need to be booked and are unreliable, as again the one listed in the info pack never answers!! It is too far to walk for a meal or drink and it ends up with one adult having to drive. The hot tub was a really good feature but even that was tempermental. Overall, we feel we did not have value for money and was really expensive, what was to be a relaxing week away and a hard earned holiday was a little stressful. The location needs more facilities such as a small shop.
Great location good views and the the kids enjoyed the hot tube
Park and location was very nice. Lodge itself was old and dated. Atleast carpets and sofas need to be changed.
Beautiful, quiet location, close to excellent amenities. The site was clean, tidy and well maintained and although there are no facilities such as a shop, these were only a short drive away. Great location for visiting Snowdonia, Zip World, Portmeirion and the National White Water Centre.
Brilliant location to explore Snowdonia National Park. Lodge was clean and spacious, ours was relatively private, but overlooked a caravan. Many of the lodges were way too close together. As many others have written it really did feel more like a caravan park that any other lodge around the UK I've stayed in, this would cause me to look elsewhere before booking here again.
More hedges, fences and trees would help.
More children than usual on a lodge holiday.
Facilities were fine as in a lodge I don't expect or want a holiday park experience.

Members of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists have approved a new three-year industrial/education/non-broadcast contract.Of the 22% of all eligible members who voted, an overwhelming 96% (19,783) favored thecontract. Four percent (872) voted against it. Ballots had to be returned by April 21 . The contract with producers, which becomes effective May 1, 1993, provides a 9% increase in minimum wages for principal performers over the next three years. The first raise, on May 1, will be 4.5%, followed by another 4.5% increase on Nov. 1, 1994. There also will be increases in producer contributions to the AFTRA health plan and the SAG training and education fund, improved affirmative-action language, increased meal allowances and the establishment of dancers as principal performers. In return, the unions agreed to a restricted half-day rate, which will allow professional performers additional work in an expanding field and makes allowances for the economic realities of lower-budget informational films, videos and audio programs.

Today I bought a car " as is" no warranty from the dealership. It's 2014 used. I took it for a test drive and it drives well . But now I took it on the highway and it's clearly pulls to the right ( maybe it just needs alignment) . Can I take back ...
Lemon laws in Colorado apply only to new vehicles, though it is unlikely that the problem you describe would qualify regardless.
You can find more details on lemon laws at http://www.coloradoattorneygeneral.gov/initiatives/consumer_resource_guide/automobiles#sales_used
You can certainly ask the dealer to help you out and address the issue. I would suggest more honey than vinegar. Car dealers get a bad rap but are generally good people. They will try to do right by you if you deal with them fairly. The AS-IS disclosure has all that warning language for a reason - namely, things go wrong and it's often impossible to predict when an issue may arise.
It's also possible that it's something as simple as reduced air pressure in a tire or an alignment issue like you mentioned, perhaps even having resulted after you bought the car. Colorado potholes are notorious for causing alignment issues.
I don't see any basis for your to return the car if they refuse to fix it. This sounds a bit like buyer's remorse. With any luck, the dealer will help you out with what is hopefully a minor issue and you will have years of reliable service with your new car.
I hope this is helpful.See question
The question is to the point.
More details are needed in order to determine if the matter *must* be disclosed, In an abundance of caution, and to minimize a potential fraud or misrepresentation claim after the sale is consummated, it may be advisable to disclose the situation, especially if the civil suit relates to or otherwise potentially impacts the property. It is advisable to discuss the matter in detail with a real estate attorney to determine the full nature and extent of disclosure required.See question
I currently own a S-Corp sports bar/restaurant. There is one investor in my current company. I am looking to open a second location under an "umbrella" corporation which will contain my current business as well as the new business. I am curious as...
It's exciting that you're looking to expand your business.
It's nice that you have given thought to how you would like the business structured; however, there are many rules and limitations that apply in this context and you should consult with a qualified business attorney and tax advisor before you take any action especially since your proposed structure is not permitted.
S Corporation have limitations on the types of shareholders (for example, you cannot have a corporation as a shareholder - see http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/S-Corporations for further details).
Even if you were to convert your S Corporwtoon entity so that you could have an umbrella corporation as a parent, you should discuss your future plans with an attorney to ensure that such a structure is appropriate. You will want to ensure the structure is appropriate for your business operations and growth scenario.
In any event, with regard to your question, a shareholder of a subsidiary corporation would not ordinarily have a say with regard to the activities of the parent entity, but closely held businesses and small businesses often have less defined relationships and reduced formality which can lead to potential business disputes and questions about which hat someone is wearing and whether the individual is acting for one entity versus the other.
Keeping things entirely separate may be a better move, but, again, you should discuss your complete facts and circumstances with counsel to ensure you make the most appropriate decision.
With regard to the loan, it's possible to borrow money and use it for starting a second business, but it will depend on the particular lender and if there are any stipulations on the use of proceeds or any other applicable loan covenants. Again, it should be discussed with counsel and potentially be vetted with the lender to avoid potential issues.
Hope this this helpful.See question
This friend is cosigning on a loan with my son, because he has better credit than i do, to obtain a truck. The bank needs collateral, because the truck is priced a little more than bank will cover. I offered to gift fifth wheel to my son so he ...
I agree with the other attorneys that the notarized letter will not be of much, if any, help.
Assuming you own the trailer "free and clear," you should be able to provide the bank a security interest in the trailer without transferring the title to the trailer to your friend. You may want to investigate this option with the lender.
Ideally, you should avoid "gifting" the trailer and then having it "gifted" or transferred back. This not only gives you little to no control, but it also opens up the trailer to being subject to other creditor claims as well as potential estate / gift tax issues.
In short, you should consult with an attorney familiar with preparing such security agreements and filing them with the local county motor vehicle office. Similar to a loan on your car, the lien can be reflected on the face of title to the trailer and be in favor of a lender even when you are not the recipient of the proceeds of the loan.
It's nice that you and your friend are willing to help out your son. You will just want to make sure to cross your t's and dot your i's to avoid any unnecessary risks or exposures.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

business back in 2 yrs. I went over the buy-out option several times before signing and was honest about my intentions. They told me the buy out was 1.5x the agencies commissions. Now they are saying it is 1.5x ALL the commissions. It feels like t...
If the buy-out "option" was drafted on behalf of the other party, there is a general presumption that any ambiguities in the agreement are construed against the drafter. If the other side was represented by an attorney and you were not, then there may also be other concerns regarding overreaching.
In any event, the language of the agreement will be key, though you may be able to use other written documents to help establish intent - particularly if you relied to your detriment on representations by the other side as to the meaning of "commissions" and whether there term was to include all commissions or something more limited.
You should consult with an attorney to get some guidance, particularly one experienced in business contracts, non-compete matters and insurance regulatory matters.See question
I want to start a monthly box subscription company. Is it legal for me to buy a box of candy bars, divy them up in the boxes, and sell the box as a whole? I would not repackage the items themselves. Just sell as a box
Generally speaking, items sold in larger boxes of bulk goods are not labeled for individual sale. You will likely be running afoul of disclosure and other consumer protection requirements if you were to sell the items without the proper disclosures. For example, the FDA and other regulatory bodies have labeling requirements.
You would also potentially be violating the terms and conditions of your bulk purchase or distributorship agreements.
There is also the risk that the products may end up in the hands of someone who ultimately has an allergic reaction to an ingredient in one of the products that ordinarily would have been disclosed on the individual product label. It is possible that someone would argue that any resulting injury or death came as a result of your sale of the products without the appropriate labeling and consumer disclosures.
In short, it is not advisable to engage in this practice without fully investing the facts and circumstances. You could ultimately find a way to make this viable, but it would likely require you to review the appropriate agreements, evaluate the regulatory framework in your areas of distribution, make other disclosures so that your buyers are fully aware of the risks and benefits, obtain waivers and require indemnities from anyone buying the products.
Hope this helps.See question

They can be reached at 303-205-5977. The investigators / regulators would be very interested in learning how and why the whole situation occurred. There is no fee to speak with them and no fee to file a complaint. Hope this helps.See question
If you move out and the landlord says that a tile broke and water leaked thru the walls but you as a tenant did not know that was damage until after you moved out can they keep your deposit for that in Colorado
Short answer, yes, the landlord can withhold your deposit if a proper accounting is provided, but with a caveat. If you can establish that the damage was a pre-existing condition or resulted from ordinary wear and tear or improper installation / shoddy workmanship by the landlord, you can fight it.
If you, in fact, broke the tile and just didn't realize that it was allowing water to leak through the walls and cause damage then it is more than likely appropriate for the landlord to retain and apply all or a portion of the security deposit toward the repair.
Colorado law requires that a residential landlord refund a security deposit to the tenant no later than one month (can be extended to 60 days if written in the lease) from the date of move-out or termination of lease, whichever occurs last, unless the landlord has valid legal reasons for withholding some or all of the tenant's deposit. CRS 38-12-103. If a landlord is entitled to retain the deposit for any reason, then the landlord must provide the tenant with a written statement of the reasons for retention of the deposit, which must be sent (within one month of move-out or termination of lease, whichever occurs last. The statement should be mailed to the last known address of the tenant.
Colorado law does permit the parties to a lease to alter the refund/accounting period. However, under no circumstances can the refund or accounting period be more than 60 days from the date of move-out or termination of lease, whichever occurs last. CRS 38-12-103(1).
The security deposit statute allows attorney's fees to the tenant if they prevail, but does not give a reciprocal right to the landlord unless expressly provided for in the lease.

Can a member who invests and receives a 5% investment along with many others who together own 50% in an LLC owned and managed by the other 50% sole investor, walk away and just "give" the interest back to the LLC, and leave without further liabili...
I believe you are asking about resigning as a member. A member may resign from an LLC at any time by giving notice to the other members as provided under Colorado Revised Statute § 7-80-602.
If, however, the resignation violates the operating agreement, the LLC may recover damages from the member for such breach and may offset the damages against any amounts otherwise owed to the withdrawing member. A member who has resigned or withdrawn from an LLC (according to the Colorado Revised Statute § 7-80-603): (i) has no right to participate in the management of the business and affairs of the limited liability company, and (ii) is entitled only to receive the share of the profits or other compensation by way of income and the return of contributions, to which such member would have been entitled if the member had not resigned or withdrawn.
With regard to liability, it is unclear if you are referring to liability to third parties or the LLC or other members. With regard to third parties, a member is not generally liable to third parties for matters relating solely to the activity of the LLC. However, holding a LLC membership interest and your described "resignation" scenario has potential tax implications that should be considered.
With regard to liability to the LLC or other members, this is going to depend on your operating agreement and the particular facts and circumstances - namely, the caveat above with regard to the withdrawal violating the operating agreement.
Please note this response is general in nature and is not legal advice. It may not be applicable to your situation. You should consult with a qualified attorney to have your particular situation evaluated. No attorney client relationship is formed by it. Furthermore, the response does not represent the opinions or views of any third party.
I hope this information is helpful.

Released with Mac OS X Yosemite, iTunes 12 gets some small interface changes that make your music, movies, and other content easier to navigate.
iTunes 11 is a much-needed refresh with a new interface and a useful MiniPlayer, but it's still a little overly complex for its own good.
It doesn't offer live radio streams or non-music options, but iTunes Radio is the best way to listen to programmed radio on iOS.
Commentary: Back in June, I signed up for Apple Music, eager to make it my one-and-only music service. But after just a few weeks, I jumped ship for Spotify. Here's why.
The company unveils its first laptop, along with the Surface Pro 4 tablet, Lumia 950 phones and an updated fitness-tracking Band. Bridget Carey rounds up all the latest Windows 10 devices in under 3 minutes.
CEO Tim Cook, iTunes head Eddy Cue and others remember Apple's co-founder in messages posted to the company's internal site. One recalls the time Jobs mooned Al Gore.
In the wake of complaints from some users about Apple's new music streaming service, a company exec says "there's a lot of work going into making the product better."
There are a ton of new movies and TV shows hitting Netflix in October. Also, the beginning of October sees lots of titles going offline.
After a flat launch, Apple's looking to spruce up Apple Music with some improvements and bug fixes through iOS 8.4.1 and iTunes 12.2.2. Oh, and Mac OS X is getting a few updates, too.

Things I liked: Screw top tin. Joke potential. Watch your victim try to load or shoot there accurately.
Things I would have changed: The past to one in which I would not have purchased these pellets.
What others should know: I have tried these pellets in five different rifles; FWB, Gamo 2 Crosman, B3. Tried hard just to load them. I ended up using a golf tee and a small mallet. Velocity was similar to the Crosman Premier Hollow Point, my favorite pellet, but accuracy was terrible. At 90 feet, the FWB shoots CPHP pellets in a one inch circle. The Super Points missed the target paper, over six inches off. Results were similar in the other rifles. I have tested over a dozen different pellets in my guns and the Super Points are the only one to work poorly in every one. I will use these up breaking in new barrels.

Things I liked: The "SS" is said to stand for "short stroke". They could have called it "big bore" since it has a piston area about 35% larger than their B18 based rifles (Optimus, Titan, Trail, Venom ...), but "BB" might give the wrong impression. The short stoke allows for greater mechanical advantage while cocking. I measured 26 lb. The parts quality of these "Made in USA with some foreign components" guns was much better than I have found in Chinese products. One interesting feature is the set screw used to prevent the barrel pivot bolt from loosening. I don't know why but the bolt inserts from the left side like every other breakbarrel I have worked on. If it inserted from the right, it would have less tendency to loosen. The scope is the best I've encountered in a package deal. I used medium Leapers instead of the included high mount. The clearance is too small to completely fit the objective lens cap but otherwise I like the lower location. Barrel alignment was good as both scopes zeroed within the center quarter of the adjustment range.
Things I would have changed: I own both the .177 and .22 faux carbon fiber stock versions. Out-of-the-box, I measured 945 and 728 fps with Crosman Premier Hollow Points. ( CPHPs worked best of the dozen pellets I tested ) Both guns sounded a bit "crunchy" while cocking. After 30 shots, the .177 gun's spring loaded barrel detent jammed retracted. Since the barrel would not stay in the firing position, I decided to disassemble both guns. I know this voids the warranty but as an engineer, its just something I am compelled to do. The jam was caused by a metal chip. Both NPS guns plus two Chinese guns, a Titan and an Optimus I worked on this year, had chips throughout. Note to Crosman; parts should be clean and chip free before entering an assembly area. The cushion at the base of the gas spring required trimming to fit. The chosen rubber appears to swell in contact with oil. The trigger is a bit heavy but reasonably smooth. I'll install a softer trigger spring when I find one.
What others should know: This gun has a bit of an identity issue. First released as Crosman NPSS ( ELS77, ELS22 ). then badged as Remington NPSS ( RNP77, RNP22 ). and just this year as Benjamin NPS ( BNP77, BNP22 ) and currently under a new product numbering system ( 32040, 32050 ). The only machining I did was to add scope stop holes to match my preferred mounts and increase the transfer port from .120 to .156 on the .22 rifle. Reassembled, the velocity of the .177 rifle rose only 5 fps to 950 but with smoother cocking. ( no metal chips ) After a couple hundred shots, velocity has stabilized at 930. Energy is 15.2 ft-lb. The .22 rifle improved 32 fps to 760 which I attribute to opening up the transfer port. Pellet energy increased from 16.8 to 18.3 ft-lb. Out-of-the-box accuracy was almost twice as good for the .22 compared to the .177 and accuracy is improving for both with break-in.

Things I liked: I purchased this gun in February. I also have two NPS rifles which are the same gun except for the stock. I reviewed them on 2013-11-13. Despite the problems I have encountered, This rifle still seems like a great deal. I have not missed a single squirrel in the bird feeder at 60 ft. Power is more than adequate with the pellet buried 1/4 in wood after passing thru the rodent. I continue to think that the scope is the best I have received packaged with an air rifle. Out-of-the-box velocity was 745 fps with Crosman Premier Hollow Points.
Things I would have changed: The scope mount was missing from the box but I planned on using the Leapers medium 2-piece as on my other guns. The barrel droop exceeded the adjustment range of the scope. Instead of a droop compensating mount, I removed .012 from the barrel stop to bring the aim up near the center of the scope adjustment. The barrel detent also was modified to protrude .015 farther to lock the barrel in the firing position. When disassembled, I found this rifle to be much cleaner inside then the previous two. Crosman must have cleaned up their assembly area. As with my .22 NPS, I opened the transfer port to .156 and added a scope stop hole to match the mount. Velocity remained the same so now I would conclude that the original .120 port is fine as-is.
What others should know: The trigger pull measured 5# 4oz. My two other NPS rifles measured 5# 1oz and 5# 15oz. It was hard to stay on target and after a couple dozen shots my trigger finger was tired and sore. I modified all three with kits on eBay that include a softer trigger spring and some bits to make it smoother. The trigger pulls now measure 2# 1oz, 1# 14oz and 2#. This change has greatly improved my accuracy. A replacement trigger would probably do the same but cost about 3 times as much.

Publisher's Description
A grandfather gently persuades a reluctant little boy to wash both hands. A wise woman draws upon her knowledge of baking to teach an important lesson about life's empty places. A millionaire tumbles ingloriously down a flight of stairs because he is too haughty to take note of a scrublady and her bar of soap.
Bartons winsome characters will charm you and his wry wit will entertain yousmoothing the way for his deft applications of timeless, biblically rooted wisdom. Assuming the voice of an ancient sage, but commenting on life in the early twentieth century, Barton captivated millions of readers with his extraordinary insight into everyday happenings. Half a century later, church historian Garth Rosell began reading these stories to delighted friends and students. Many who heard them at the dinner table, from the pulpit, and in the classroom wanted to share them with others. So Rosell, with the help of writer Stan Flewelling, sought out the now-rare original volumes in order to make the present collection available to a contemporary public that cherishes the power of a well-told story to speak truth straight to the heart.

Time to cue the CBS March Madness theme song. This game has another storyline with Northwestern about to hire a new coach. Pretty much everyone knows the hire will be Duke Blue Devils Assistant Chris Collins, local guy and former Chicago Bulls coach Doug Collins. And it could become official as early as this week. Anyone else at this point would be a major upset, like a #16 seed over a #1 seed in the tourney. The Minnesota Golden Gophers are interested in Collins concerning their current coaching vacancy, and that could help Collins gain more bargaining leverage and money when the final deal is signed.

The awareness of cloud computing among the Government establishment in the Middle East and Africa region (MEA) is quite low.
This was clearly evident in a survey conducted by International Data Corp. (IDC) in the region. The results show a low inclination towards adopting cloud computing in the MEA. However,no specific reason for such a scenario was given, but there seems to be a lack of confidence for the technology. This could be seen from the respondents' answers.While respondents understand the benefits as well as the terminology of cloud computing, there are security concerns that ultimately tilts opinion against it.
[Related -Long-term Relationships and Credit Scores]
The MEA IT market is a lucrative one with $91 billion expected to be spent in 2015. This is 28.2 percent higher than estimated IT spending of $71 billion in 2012. The growth to be driven by mobility, social technologies, cloud computing, and data.
More than 50 percent of the senior Government officials from IT are quite familiar with various terms of cloud computing, the IDC survey indicates. However, only 20 percent understand the terminology of cloud computing. The catch of the survey is that 60 percent of the respondents evinced no interest in implementing any form of cloud computing within their organizations.
It will be a big task for cloud computing service providers to convince users of the advantages, and the cost involved to avail such services. This will require significant effort from the service providers for widespread adoption in the MEA region to occur.
[Related -In Defense Of Rolling Return Charts]
Significantly 85 percent of the respondents' attitudes towards cloud computing indicates they believe the technology is still immature and in development mode. In spite of this, 74 percent of them understand the benefits of cloud computing. Yet, concerns about cost and bandwidth are what prevents them from adopting the technology. This was evident as 72 percent of the respondents voiced concerns, whereas 68 percent are concerned with the inherent security risk involved.
It appears that security is the major concern for governments in adopting cloud computing in the MEA, but the IDC survey points out that there is a lack of understanding. Governments seem hold the view that cloud computing is not suited for the government sector in its current form.Obviously, their fears about security are quite understandable because of the sensitive information of its citizens. It is not just government, big corporations shy away from cloud computing on the same plank.
The current scenario clearly suggests that the IT vendors need to create awareness of cloud computing in the region.

Like title suggest: how can I make a call to sleep()?
You can use get_random_bytes(), similar calls to sleep() also exist for example msleep(), usleep() etc. depending on what you want to do. Note that *sleep() cannot be used in an atomic context, you will want to use *delay(). Generally you need to think twice before using sleep()/delay() calls in the kernel.
If you are writing a device driver and you want to ensure that the device has finished doing whatever (assuming you can't use an interrupt for that and you need to poll some register or so) then instead of doing msleep(10) consider having a loop going around 5 times with an msleep(2) or similar, poll the register and break out as early as possible. The time you wait is at least the time you've requested and depends on system load.
dmp 's right. Keeping all the above points in mind, you could in addition try this simple macro to emulate a sleep(3) kernel call:

N73 candybar for sale in New Zealand, but apart from some wonky looking user interface stuff, it looks like a perfectly legit Asia-spec N73 to us. For what it's worth, the specs list a 2 megapixel cam (1.2 off the real deal's mark), a mere dual-mode GSM radio, and a listing of "data mode" that leads us to believe that EDGE may be nowhere to be found -- let alone 3G -- so odds are the imitation only goes skin deep. Then again, if it turns out to be one of Espoo's own, someone's lined up to get a real steal on an N73, no?

Buzz Lightyear has been spotted rescuing Woody from being crushed to death on the Dartford Crossing.
The space ranger was seen taking his cowboy buddy to infinity and beyond – as well as making sure he didn't meet a sticky end underneath the wheels of an HGV.
The figures from Pixar smash hit Toy Story brightened up one crossing user's journey no end yesterday after she spotted them pinned to the back of a lorry with Woody clinging on to Buzz's hand for dear life.
Owner Andy was said to be "over the moon" at the sighting of his beloved toys.
