|Evaluation of fragmented red cell (FRC) counting using Sysmex XE-5000 - Does hypochromia play a role?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23134354 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|INTRODUCTION: Schistocytes are major signs of micro- and macroangiopathic haemolytic anaemia. The aim was to evaluate automated fragmented red cell (FRC) count compared to visual microscopy, and to assess FRCs in the presence of microcytosis and hypochromia using Sysmex automated counters. METHODS: Schistocytes were determined with visual microscopy after the observation of 1000 erythrocytes, and the automated counting with Sysmex XE-5000. Indices of microcytosis (%MicroR) and hypochromia (%Hypo-He) were also analysed in the XE-5000 analyser. RESULTS: Linear regression analysis showed a good correlation between automated and manual FRC% count (r = 0.824, P < 0.0001), but Bland-Altman's plot revealed an overestimation of FRC of 0.82%. There is a global correlation between %MicroR and FRCs. In subgroup analysis of %MicroR (reference value: 0.3-3%, mild microcytosis: 3.1-7.2% and severe microcytosis: 7.3-56.7%), no correlations with automated %FRC were noticed (P > 0.05). Based on %Hypo-He subgroups (mild hypochromia: 1.2-5.2%, and severe hypochromia: 5.3-35.4%), a significant correlation of automated %FRC with mild hypochromia was found (r = 0.621, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Despite the agreement between FRC count and the manual method, the overvaluation of FRC was high, leading to false-positive results. Microcytosis appeared to have no impact on FRC count, whereas mild hypochromia seemed to be related with FRC count. Particular attention is required to assess automated FRCs in samples with mild hypochromia.

Switching Gears
If you've been thinking about becoming an email subscriber, you might pull the trigger. I expect posts will be more infrequent during the summer. Also, if you'd like to drop a line with suggestions, or simply to tell me how the blog is working for you, I'd be grateful: email@example.com.
I confess I am looking forward to spending time in America, to feeling the ambient pressure of ordinary liberalism, rather than the pressure of heroic solidarity. At the same time, I shall miss the narrowing instances of their combination, as captured in this marvelous poem by Lea Goldberg:
Is it true - will there ever come days of forgiveness and mercy?
And you'll walk in the field, and it will be an innocent's walk.
And your feet on the medick's small leaves will be gently caressing,
And sweet will be stings, when you're stung by the rye's broken stalks!
And the drizzle will catch you in pounding raindrops' folly
On your shoulders, your breast and your neck, while your mind will be clean,
You will walk the wet field, and the silence will fill you -
As does light in a dark cloud's rim
And you'll breathe in the furrow in breaths calm and even,
And the pond's golden mirror will show you the Sun up above,
And once more all the things will be simple, and present, and living,
And once more you will love - yes, you will, yes, once more you will love!
You will walk. All alone. Never hurt by the blazing inferno
Of the fires on the roads fed by horrors too awful to stand,
And in your heart of hearts you'll be able to humbly surrender,
In the way of the weeds, in the way of free men.
You can hear Chava Alberstein's wonderful rendition of this song-poem here. Take the time: it is lovely. (My thanks to Ganze Jahr Freylach, whose translation I am poaching.)

I don't know if you are here yet- but we have had rain ( drizzle ) here in New England for days and weeks running and somehow it's okay. When the sun peaks out it's a joy.
But it is peaceful. And it is a good thing to rest and get away from "the situation". I should tune out and spend even more time in the garden and making pots, peaceful pursuits.
Anything Chava Alberstein sings is wonderful- and the words here are very beautiful. I did not know anything about Leah Goldberg.
Thank you.

LSU pitcher Aaron Nola may start against Southeastern Louisiana when the Tigers kick off NCAA Regional play.
The record has stood for 42 seasons, but LSU's pitching staff has a chance to break it this season.
Tiger pitchers have thrown a school record 17 shutouts this season in 59 games so far, smashing the previous record of 10 by the pitching staff from the national championship team of 1996 in 67 games with pitchers Patrick Coogan, Brett Laxton and Eddie Yarnall.
The NCAA record is 24 set in 1972 by Arizona State, which reached the College World Series that season. The Southeastern Conference record is not recorded in the conference's media guide. ...

LONOKE, Ark. (KTHV) -- Ideal planting weather has Arkansas farmers getting their crops in the ground much earlier this year.
So far this year, Arkansas farmers have dodged extremely dry conditions or extended heavy rainfall making the months of March and April prime planting times.
"I'm a fifth generation farmer," says Robby Bevis. He is planting seed in the same Lonoke County fields his family has farmed since the 1960's.
"We're currently farming about 4,800 acres," says Bevis.
Corn, rice and soybeans will soon be popping up on both sides of Bevis Road and a lot sooner than expected.
"We're normally, just now by the 15th of April even thinking about planting rice, much less being done," says Bevis.
After three years of flooded springs and dry summers, Bevis says early planting has his crop and his optimism growing fast. With so much invested, a good year has been a long time coming.
"We're borrowing so much money to put these crops in that it's just, if we have a bad year, it's detrimental," says Bevis.
"It usually takes four to five good years to make up for one bad year," says Jeff Welch with the University of Arkansas, Division of Agriculture Extension Service. He says 95 percent of Lonoke County's corn is already planted, their rice a month ahead of schedule and a third of their soybeans are now in the ground. But with costs for farmers rising and their margins slimming, Welch says the cost at the store may not change.
"It's a game over time to stay in business and we're hoping that this year we'll do well as far as profits go," says Welch.
With the money spent and the crop in the ground, Bevis says it's up to Mother Nature to do the rest.
"Only time will tell. Come see me this fall and I'll tell ya how good it was," says Bevis.
Another obstacle farmers have to overcome this year is fuel costs. Bevis says his farm is paying a dollar more a gallon this year compared to last year. For him, that is an additional $70,000 in cost. The U of A Extension Service says that cost will mostly be absorbed by the farmers and not passed on to consumers.
The Arkansas Farm Bureau also provides helpful information for Arkansas farmers.

As a young boy, Wesley was brought up in a Nazarene church. There he learned the importance of freewill and holiness in the Christian life. Later his parents moved and they began attending a Calvinist Baptist congregation, where he was taught the sovereignty of God, predestination and total depravity. When he was about 12, the […]
Matthew grew up in a Protestant family. His mother had been Baptist and his father had been Catholic. They brought Matthew up in a Charismatic Episcopal parish. In high school, he got involved in the rock music culture. In a few short years he didn't want anything to do with Christianity. When he was 17 he got involved […]
It was my study of the Church Fathers that ignited within me the dormant flame of Catholicism. As many others who have gone before me found, one cannot study the history of the early Church without realizing that many Protestant doctrines — sola Scriptura, for example — were an invention of the Protestant reformation and do not actually reflect the understanding of the Church Fathers, let alone the Apostles. I also realized that the Catholic understanding of the Eucharist is consistent with the way the sacrament has been understood from the beginning.
David's books are "Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic," "Rapture: The End-Times Error That Leaves the Bible Behind" and "What Jesus Really Said about the End of the World."
As I began to describe my works-laden justification, Mr. Pharis told me bluntly, "You're not getting into heaven." … He got my attention. I was not saved!
A Feminist Rebellion
I was raised in the Grace Brethren Fundamentalist branch of Protestant Christianity during the 1960's and 70's. I am grateful for a lot of the Bible-based teaching I learned there and from my mother; for the steeping and memorization of Bible passages; for all the wonderful stories that engrossed me; for the hearing the words of Jesus and His pure love. But my rebellious bent began to grow as I reached 15 and became skeptical about the manner of this branch of Christianity and the hypocrisy I witnessed around me and inside me. I wanted nothing to do with youth group. I had a strong dislike of the "saving of souls" that took place at the end of the preaching during particularly sad hymns. I took to sneaking out of the church and driving around in my parents' car during the service. My absconding intensified when my pastor claimed to know when the world was going to end and picked a day that came and went while he remained at the pulpit.
The day President John F. Kennedy was shot is one of my most vivid childhood memories. I was in sixth grade playing on the playground when the rumors started. Just before the dismissal bell at the end of the day, the principal made the announcement over the PA system: JFK had been assassinated.
School was dismissed in eerie silence. Tears welled up in my eyes as I walked the half mile home that afternoon. My sorrow was almost overwhelming for a sixth-grader, not only because our President was dead, but primarily because in my heart of hearts I believed that he was in hell.

|Danger zones associated with fibular osteotomy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8169696 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Anatomic dissections were performed on five cadaveric lower extremities. Measurements of important neurovascular structures in relation to the fibula were obtained at 1-cm intervals along the length of the fibula with the tip of the fibular head as the reference point. Neurovascular structures adjacent to the fibula in danger of injury with fibular osteotomy were identified. At the proximal one-third of the fibula, the peroneal nerves and their muscular branches are at primary risk. The anterior tibial artery is vulnerable where it penetrates the interosseous membrane and where it runs adjacent to the fibula with the deep peroneal nerve. In the middle one-third of the fibula, the peroneal artery and vein are the major structures at risk. In the distal one-third of the fibula the peroneal vessels are at less risk because they branch and enter the region of the syndesmosis curving anteriorly. The other neurovascular structures are not adjacent to the fibula. Based on these data, general recommendations for fibular osteotomy include (a) placement of the osteotomy as distally along the shaft as is feasible, commensurate with the surgical goal; (b) direction of the osteotomy blade along a line connecting the axis of the fibula with the midpoint of the subcutaneous tibial surface in the proximal and middle one-third of the fibula; and (c) direction of the osteotomy blade from the axis of fibula to the anterior subcutaneous border of the tibia in the distal one-third of the fibula.

The claim is being made that JP Morgan's $2 billion trading loss was in a trade that was a "a hedge." It doesn't take much review to easily disprove that position.
We first learned of this particular trade when they began to distort credit indices. Any trade so huge that it impacts its markets – that becomes the market – cannot be credibly thought of as a hedge. Simply stated, once you are the market, you are no longer a hedge. Sheer size of this trade makes it far more accurate to describe this as speculation than hedge.
Of course, the loss was the tell. A true hedge would have been offset by the underlying position that was being hedged — so any loss should have been insignificant. Even a minor correlation error should not lead to a $2 billion dollar hit.
Which begs the question, what is a hedge? It is a position taken in order to curb the risk of a specific (or arguably, general) trade. This is not a new concept: The word "Hedge" has been used as a verb in English since at least the 16th century (See Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor).
Looking at the question a little differently, what isn't a hedge? There is always the other side of the trade, and that side (if not position) is what you can theoretically claim to be hedging. Hence, for a huge bank with trillions on its book, there is the rationale that any trade, any position, any financial transaction, is potentially a hedge against some other position the bank is holding. Recall that Goldman Sachs, who has been rather silent on the JPM trade, used the same logic when arguing they were not betting against clients; rather they were "hedging other bank positions."
Poppycock. Both the JPM and GS arguments fail, for a simple reason: If we are going to define this trade as a hedge, then there is no other conclusion to reach except that everything at a huge bank is a hedge.
And once you define everything as a hedge, well then, nothing is a hedge.

Nationally renowned forensic accounting expert, Thomas A. Myers, explains the fundamentals of credit defaults swaps and synthetic CDOs (collateralized debt obligations). These structured finance products were at the heart of the market meltdown, and were the building blocks of numerous allegedly fraudulent transactions, including the Goldman Sachs ABACUS deal, a transaction that caused the SEC to take significant action.

I have a month-old S&W M&P 15-22. She has only had a little over 200 rounds fired through her, and all of them were clean-burning (for a rimfire, of course) CCI Velocitors - it has also been cleaned numerous times. I am in the military, so I clean my rifle to perfection! I could also include about about 300 rounds of CCI Velocitors in a trade. So far I've got over $1200 invested in the rifle.
She's got a Barska 3-9x42mm dual-illuminated scope (that's darn accurate at 100 yards!), a TruGlo TruBrite dual-illuminated 4-reticle dot sight mounted at a 45-degree angle, a vertical foregrip, Magpul "AFG2" Angled Fore-Grip, 4-position adjustable bipod, and 6-position adjustable stock (the one in picture is not included - it will come with original "Tapco" stock). Currently has some cheap rail covers on it, you can have those too! I find it makes it a bit easier and more comfortable to grip with the AFG. It's the version with the non-threaded weighted barrel, but I've had it quoted for $60 if you wanted to get it threaded. Could also sell for less if you didn't want all of the accessories - hit me up and let me know what you don't want, and we can talk price.

The Going Concern statement is also a boilerplated accounting item that auditors must include for this type of business. The vast majority of small public companies' financial statements include an auditor's going concern paragraph. I included a detailed discussion of the risks of the business plan in the article.
Anyway, I have already taken profits given the strong performance of shares. Thanks for reading.Jun 6, 2014. 04:18 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

The number of shares being registered was substantial on a relative basis. In the article I wrote that the current 9,459,373 o/s would rise to 15,792,708 any day (whenever the S1 receives approval), a 67% increase.

Most of its assets are intangible (patents, approvals, etc). If manufacturers wait until the last minute to buy the chips, as they are wont to do, Veriteq will need to raise capital to bridge itself until 2015, which will probably be a nominally small offering (dilutive) of $3 million if I had to guess. Unfortunately, this is a large percentage of its market cap. However, I think it will try to price the offering closer to the low $1s, as the recent dip is due to the pending S1, and I personally think this dip is temporary... which is why I bought for the rebound.
I only have invested half of what I ultimately plan to purchase, however, becase shares have been so volatile. I might get lucky and fill some of my bids at lower prices.
Regardless, this is not a stock to bet the farm on, that is for sure. It could return 100% or more, or this could be a big loser. I am only playing with a small portion of my portfolio here.Jan 12, 2014. 08:08 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Thanks. It all depends on whether it accomplishes its goal or not. You do the math from today's market capitalization to a P/E multiple from its projections- the numbers are incredible. But again, it is all about Veriteq convincing the industry that they need to use RFID instead of antiquated paper documentation. Having something like what happened to patients in France is a horrible thought, so obviously I believe RFID will sell, but that is the key unknown.

I'm holding long term, unrealized losses for now but this low volume trading is mostly warrant holders and financing parties cashing in for their services getting the company cleaned up from its MedicSight days. It is really unfortunate that they seem to have no concern for the long term prospects of the company, but that is how it goes sometimes. If MGT settles for anything over $10 million from any of the defendants the stock could double... if their daily fantasy sports website did even a few million in revenue the stock could double... if the company fails entirely, there are a lot of debt-free assets backing shareholder equity to soften the blow. I think there are plenty of shots on goal here. Overall, from my gains earlier in the year and my unrealized losses now, I am slightly negative overall. I think football season should produce some nice results by the holidays.

The party(ies) holding the warrants at $3 seem to be pretty ruthless. Ultimately it is good for this company to churn through that overhang of investors who seem to not care about the company and just want to cash in for their financing services (from the time when MGT's MedicSight division was divested and the capital structure cleaned up). I have written about the warrant issues before, and until MGT announces some good revenue from its daily fantasy sports division or a settlement, it will be hard to sustain a rally, especially with such low average volume. However, if MGT does announce something, it would be a very, very quick spike up. I am still long with realized gains from earlier this year and holding paper losses now.

All of that is public info, I think it is around $5M currently. The burn rate is not as high as Yahoo Finance shows, read the "Supplemental disclosures of non-cash" on the last 10Q detailing the reclassifications of derivative liabilities (which was previously disclosed
Also, there are still warrants at $3.00 per share, which probably explains the horrible price action this week. If it goes too much lower, this stock will be backed 100% by assets. The fully diluted valuation is down almost 50%, as most warrants are out-of-the-money here below $3. (Fully diluted valuation goes up at a faster rate as price increases but also goes down at a faster rate as price falls- specifically, as the price falls below specific strike prices, and a big strike price was $3 for MGT.)Oct 30, 2013. 05:41 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
WMS (now SGMS) is the top defendant. Aruze is the second. I don't think the other three defendants are very substantial. To continue the analogy, they are just facility operators that may or may not have known that the machines on their floor were infringing.

MOUNT VERNON, TEXAS (Lamar County). Mount Vernon, among the earliest settlements in what is now Lamar County and for a short time its county seat, was five miles south of Paris and just west of combined State highways 19 and 24. The community was first settled in the late 1830s or early 1840s, and in June 1843 the county seat was moved there from Lafayette and a log courthouse was constructed. The next year the county seat was transferred to Paris. A small settlement remained at the site for many years; as late as the 1920s the area had a school and several houses. By the 1930s, however, Mount Vernon was no longer shown on maps. In the 1990s no trace of the community remained. A state historical marker was placed at the site in 1936.

That was after the war in 1946. Though they did appear on various covers together they never became a team until then.
Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying that. I'm probably thinking of covers that I've seen. I've read comics from that era, but I can't remember if I ever read anything with them all in the same story.

I don't think pay cable would be any more friendly to psychedelia or surrealism. All of their shows tend toward gritty realism (or at least what passes for it).
I don't really see where something something like that would be out of place on a group of networks that include things like True Blood, Game of Thrones, and Spartacus. True Blood and Game of Thrones did start out a little more realistic, but have got more fantastic as they've gone on.
I haven't been following
Game of Thrones
, but
True Blood
has gone a little trippy from time to time. Doc Strange would be orders of magnitude beyond that, though.

The problem I had with them was that, even as a kid, it seemed to me that the filmmakers were embarrassed by the character's comic-book roots and seemed to determined to minimize the comic-booky elements as much as possible. Hence, no costume, no Red Skull, no Hordes of Hydra, etc. As I recall, they generally avoided calling "Steve" Captain America wherever possible, and only did so sheepishly at best. "Maybe you can be some sort of, er, 'Captain America' or something." That kind of thing.
Compared to the CAPTAIN AMERICA comics I reading at the time, it all seemed rather mundane and timid.
This is pretty much the problem I've always had with superheroes on TV or in movies-- they mainstream the magic out of them.
By contrast, the DR. STRANGE pilot, despite its limitations, embraced the wilder aspects of the original comics: you had astral travel, visits to strange Ditko-esque dimensions (as much as a limited tv-movie budget would allow), demons being summoned, ageless sorcerers throwing spells at each other, even a fairly accurate recreation of Strange's Sanctum. As opposed to all the other CBS productions of the time, which sometime seemed determined to cram larger-than-life comic book characters into "Barnaby Jones"-sized plots, DR. STRANGE at least tried to capture the feel of the comic book . . . .
Yeah. No offense to
Barnaby Jones

Good afternoon everyone, I do hope your day is going well even with the miserable weather that we have outside.
This is a revisit to the folder where the images from Paddy's Hole are kept. There is just so much to see and shoot, I have probably said that before, but I find it such an interesting place.
I spotted this beautifully shiny padlock connected to an extremely rusty chain and began to wonder what exactly it was meant to be protecting. The chain is wrapped around the seat of the boat and then goes up to the rowlock, that's it. Now either someone is worried that their seat will be stolen or the rowlock, I have no idea, but both appear to be firmly connected to the boat and if you did bother to unscrew them you could just unwrap the chain from round them.
The rope is also connected to the rowlock and then the chain, so maybe the rope is to secure the chain, or could it be that the rope has been chained up also to prevent it from being removed. A true state of weird affairs.
I will hasten to add that nothing is actually locking the boat to anything, it is merely moored in the normal manner with a piece of rope, so if you untied and took the boat, the chain, padlock, rowlock and rope will all come with it.
I suppose it saves the owner trying to find a key to fit the padlock, although I would have to ask, why fit the padlock in the first place?
This one may keep me up for a few nights, supplies need to be checked. Tea, check. That'll do, all set.
I hope you like it. Thanks for looking and for any comments.

Some nice rust colours in there, and I do like the old and new. well spotted and captured.
I suspect that the padlock is simply replacing a damaged link in the chain?
As you say, remarkably shiny. Which does allow scope for some interesting reflections.
No doubt about this one at all, Andy: it was waiting for you to come along, take a photograph, post it here alongside your customary thorough and entertaining description and wait for mikbee to drop in and find it
Excellent tones here for those who take the time to observe: autumnal, I reckon. And pleasing dof too.
:D. Interesting thoughts, Andy, and an image full of interesting colours and textures. Carol
A great variety of colours, detail and texture in this fine composition.
An opportunity which you have ceased upon Andy, and in turn you have captured something which I would have simply walked by.
Regards Nathan
Obviously you were not fooled as some may have been! The lock will fool some and that in itself is added security good shot and great find which Mikbee will appreciate most
A great contrast between the pristine shiny metal padlock and the rusty old chain

Travlor Goodnight Skudneski
April 26, 2014
Team Scores | Complete Results
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Colorado State hosted the 2014 Jack Christiansen Invitational Saturday. Many of athletes boosted their season bests and personal records, while the men's relay team ran a phenomenal time in 4x400.
The CSU men won in dominating fashion, more than doubling the team score of the second-place contender. The men tallied 234.50, while Colorado and Air Force tied for second with 112.50. The women also won the meet with a team score of 185.75. Northern Colorado took second at 154 and Wyoming placed third 126.75.
"Overall, I thought we had highlights in all event area again, which is positive for our team," commented Head Coach Brian Bedard. "The weather cooperated. It probably really helped us solidify our spots at the conference meet coming up."
Sophomore Jacob Morgan got the Rams off to a good start with a win in the men's 5,000 meters. He clocked 15:21.79 in his first 5K of the season.
Rounding out the day's events on the track, the CSU men's relay team of Robert Wasinger, Trevor Brown, Zach Browning and Travlor Goodnight Skudneski broke the school record in 4x400 held since 1976. They crossed the finish line in first place at 3:10.48.
"The 4x400 was obviously the highlight of the meet," added Bedard. "Coach Karim (Abdel Wahab) had his team ready to go, and I thought they really shined. Breaking a school record form 1976 is really good to get off the board, and I think it was really nice that they did it in front of our alumni."
Jessica Sharbono, one of 20 seniors recognized at their final home meet Saturday, continued her impressive streak in the discus, winning the event at 180-4. Kiah Hicks earned second and Monet Jackson took fourth, with marks of 164-0 and 138-6, respectively. Sharbono also won the shot put at 50-10. Hicks placed second, reaching 45-8.50, and Jackson took third at 43-8.50.
Hicks was the Rams' top finisher in the hammer throw. She finished second overall, reaching 191-0. Schneeberger had CSU's best throw for the men at 195-0.
The men's 4x100-meter relay crew earned a season-best time of 40.35 taking first in the event. Evan Taylor, the anchor, finished the final leg of the race 0.42 seconds ahead of the second-place team. The women's squad won its race with a time of 46.38, also a season-best.
In the men's throws Tyler Schultz threw his best mark of the year in the shot put. He reached 58-0.5 on his final attempt.
Trevor Brown ran a 13.64 in the 110-meter hurdles, winning the event. Teammate Sam Little finished fifth at 14.27. Little clocked a personal record in the 400 hurdles later in the day. He won the event with a time of 51.82.
Josh DeLoach was the top collegiate finisher in the men's 100-meter dash, placing second overall. He clocked 10.61, a personal record and it's the best time for CSU this season.
Freshman Josh Sandin won the men's long jump. He finished just two inches short of his career best, reaching 22-6.5. Ashley Reid jumped a season-best 39-0.5 in the triple jump, taking first place in the final event of the day.
With just two meets before the Mountain West Championships in mid-May, Colorado State will travel north to Laramie, Wyo., next Saturday for the Cowpoke Open.

Why do signal lights both flash without 4ways on
October 22, 2012.
October 22, 2012.
I assume you mean they flash in all four corners when you turn on the turn signal. If that is right, check the trailer wiring harness to see if the wires are chewed up and touching.
Also check if the 4-way flashers are non-functional but the switch is turned on. That will connect the two sides together electrically.
Checked trailer connect still does when unpluged would 4way switch cause headlight connection to flash as well
You didn't mention anything about the head lights. If you have multiple lighting circuits involved in this problem, check if they're all dimmer than normal. A bad ground will cause the current through one bulb to seek an alternate path to ground, and that is through another bulb(s), but since the voltage splits among them, none will be full brightness.
Any suggestions on where to start looking
You didn't say if the lights are dim or full brightness. If a ground wire is the problem, you can prove that by removing one bulb. If that causes any other bulb to go off, it's a ground problem. You can also remove all the affected bulbs but one, then check if that one works right. If it turns on with the wrong switches, there is a different wiring problem. Most commonly two wires are touching such as the trailer wires I mentioned. An aftermarket radio that is wired wrong can do that too. There's a wire to it for the tail lights and one from the dash lights.
Funny you mention radio because there is and someone just cut wires off at plugs
Thanks for help got it fixed

I loved these pants! The material is really soft and stretchy but also supportive which is important for me as I do a lot of jumping around. I would of given these pants a 5* if it wasn't for the waist which I found was a little too loose for me. I was always pulling them up so have returned and have purchased a size smaller. So I would say if you are stuck between which size to order definitely go for a size down! ... read more
I have ordered the tights recently. They fit perfectly, they look amazing! They are light and very comfortable compared to what my other running tights. I will consider buying another pair in a different colour soon! :) ... read more
I love the way they fit on me. So comfortable. I would recommend trying them on before you buy them. Depending on how you like your pants and body structure, you may want to get them 1 size bigger for a more loose fit or your actual size for a more snug fit. ... read more
First off, I'm VERY picky with sports bras simply because of the way my breasts naturally are. I need the bra to fit PERFECTLY or else I'm going with two bras. I wore 2 bras for working out for years because when I tried to wear a simpler compression bra by itself with no cup shapes, I was left with that nightmarish "uniboob" look and feel (most ladies know exactly what I'm talking about.) I'm a full C, sometimes D depending on the bra, so the 2-bra thing was something I've been wanting to rid myself of for the longest time. I work at an Adidas store and found this funky-looking bra and decided to try it on. I will say that the bra is quite daunting at first when you are attempting to just try it on. The way the straps cross over will likely have you saying "huh?" out loud. But I was able to eventually figure it out (after a few minutes of sweating) and, over a year later, I can say this is probably the best bra purchase I've ever made. I actually ended up buying three of them, and none of them show any signs of wear to this day. I know the bra offers fantastic support because I don't think about it when I'm exercising. I work out several times a week. The bra is pretty much true to your normal bra size, and I love how the sizes are based on cup/band sizes (32C, 36DD) as opposed to small/medium/large so that you can make sure that you get a bra that actually FITS. Honestly, the only bad part about this bra IMO is the first few times putting it on because you don't know what you're doing and it just feels like your suffocating even with the right bra size on. But, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the tightness you should be experiencing at first is a good thing. (If the bra's too tight, loosen the straps/clasps a bit, but you shouldn't have to do too much adjusting or else you likely have the wrong bra size.) Let me save you the stress of figuring out how to put this thing on: 1. Unhook the bra. 2. Loosen the straps to at least half the length. This will make the bra easier to pull over your head/arms/torso and keep you from damaging the bra's threading by over-stretching. 3. Pull the bra over your head so that the entire bra is below your bust, near your belly button. Turn the bra around so that the unhooked section of the bra is over your belly button. Make sure the hook sections are not flipped around or else the bra won't fit right. 4. Tighten the straps to your desired tightness and hook the bra together. You obviously won't know your go-to measurement at first, but you will eventually. 5. Twist the bra around your body and fit the cups over your bosom. Put your arms through the arm openings and pull the straps up to your shoulders. Just get past learning how to put it on and I believe you'll really love the bra. Worth your money! :) ... read more
I run more than 20 miles a week and these are my go-to pants. On my long 10+ miles runs I do not have any sore spots from chaffing or seams rubbing. They are warm enough for cool weather but breathable enough for 50 degree weather. They are not quite as slim fitting as the picture, they hang loose but cut nice on the legs. ... read more
The best running tee I own. It does what it says which is what I want from technical gear and it looks almost like a regular tee so you don't feel like you're dripping in branded 'hey everyone look at me! Can you guess I'm a runner?!?' Type gear. Got mine in bright azur blue and I love it! Good amount of reflexive bits too. Got a little bit of chaffing under one arm, where the sleeve meets the skin but I'm a bit of a one armed wailer.... So that's neither here nor there. ... read more
I'm very happy with these leggings because they are true to size, perfect length and are light without being see-through. I bought these for spin classes as well as the gym. I have bought leggings from well known brand and they are far too long, too heavy and too baggy at the top of the leggings. So overall happy with my new adidas leggings! ... read more
Usually I have to try both XS and S but this was the right fit for XS which is my size. The waist band is a great fit and I found that I didn't need to use the drawstrings but its great to have the option. I like the alternative placement of the traditional three stripes as I tend to find the other designs with the stripes on either side of each leg rather monotonous. ... read more
I am a DI collegiate athlete, so I rather athletic legs.. I usually wear either S or M depending on the fit of the item I have a 28" waist and am 5'7". I weigh 140 lbs. I got them in size M and they were a little too loose on my thighs. I love that they have the drawstring in the waist though, because too often I have this problem where my thighs "eat my pants." What I mean by that is that it will fit my thighs but not my waist... and then the pants will slink down a bit 'cause I had to buy them to accommodate my thighs. So the drawstring is awesome for that. The back pocket is great for my keys when I run. I ended up returning them and getting a size small, which fit nice and tight, like a pair of tights should. I've posted my video review of the tights as well. ... read more
Really nice lightweight material that's perfect for running. They fit perfectly - I am 5ft 2 inch and bought XS. There is a hidden pocket on the hip perfect for your iPhone. Zips on the ankles are great for warmer weather and better fit. They look great too! ... read more
I am so proud of my BQ time and this shirt is perfect! The colors and logo are exactly what I think of when I think of the Boston Marathon. The fit is excellent. No chaffing or weird spots or seams. The women's fit is flattering. Love it and wear it proudly! ... read more
I find myself wearing this hoodie more than most of my other options, at least in the warm weather. It transitions from slightly cooler temps to warmer temps while maintaining a comfortable body temperature in both. It is probably the best example of a hoodie doing this that I can think of. It is no doubt the material--climalite--but also how it is woven on this particular hoodie: the inside is similar to other climalite weaves but the outer face is a slightly ribbed weave unique to this hoodie, which seems to vent excess heat more readily than others. As for size, I don't find it baggy. Due to the nature of the material it does have more of a "drape" than other hoodies; it is, however, a performance hoodie more than a fashion hoodie. It still looks good, but to me that is secondary. I'm ca. 5'10"/178cm and 175lbs/79KG at the moment and the small fits me fine. It's trim but that is how I prefer it. I also wash it cold and hang dry it to keep in from tightening up any more. Thanks for reading. ... read more
It's a nice looking shirt, true to the model's image, colour wise. The sizing runs large. I bought a small and it positively drapes on my body, with about four inches extra on the chest and waist, but surprisingly not too bad on the hips which is bizarre because I have small hips (35 inches). From the front it looks great and fitted, but from the side it is so loose that it makes me look dumpy. The chest for a size small is supposed to measure 33-35 and I am 33.5. I have two inches extra material on either size of my body, for a total of 4-6 extra inches in the chest, and 6-8 extra inches in the waist. I like my running shirts fitted and this is more of a casual loose fit. Thrilled to wear it anyway. ... read more
This jacket is so sleek! I'm such a fan! It's a great in between piece. It's like a comfortable leather bomber in a sporty fabric. I fit large/extra large with my short, curvy figure and this jacket fits perfectly with the stretch panels on the sides and thumber arm sleeves. I've worn it as a early fall light jacket and layered under a warmer puffy coat and it's ideal. My new closet staple! ... read more
I bought these for dancing and they're definitely worth wearing because they're so light and stylish. They look and feel great with any outfit, like gym, training, or casual. I'm 5'11 and I bought a medium if you're wondering too ... read more
I ordered this hoodie as it looks similar to my favourite hoodie I purchased from Adidas a few years ago. The first thing I want to highlight is that it is a true size 8 - with previous Adidas purchases I found the sizes to be a bit too generous! The material is not too thick so it is perfect for running on a crisp and cool day without getting too sweaty. I feel very stylish running in it so I think I've a new favourite hoodie :-) ... read more
These running tights fit great. They are form fitting, but the material is very light so it doesn't feel too tight on the body like how yoga pants would feel. I love the look of the horizontal stripes. ... read more
This is one of my favourite shirts to run in, I have two now. Very comfortable and has a flattering neckline and bottom hemline. Does not get patchy when sweaty, material is light and airy. Only flaw I can find is that one of my tops have worn quite quickly as I wash it a lot. ... read more
I love these pants, but they do fit a bit looser in the lower leg than shown if you buy your usual size. At first I was going to return them because the fit was not as pictured, but I actually really love them! As they are, they can actually come off over shoes. Plus, the little key pocket in the waistline is super rad. The pants are made with slightly unusual cuts, which at first did feel like a maxi pad but I quickly got used to and preferred the gussett/crotch shape over a four-corners crotch. When standing, there's a little bit of extra fabric at the lower back, but this is what makes the pants comfortable to sit and play in without the waist band ever dipping or pulling down. I don't like branded clothing AT ALL because i don't like feeling like an advertisement but these are wicked cool, sport, leisure, party. ... read more
Really nice quality with 3 zipped pockets (useful!). They are advertised as slim fitting and they are quite snug for the size, and also slightly short (just on the ankle) but I think that is just the style. Very comfortable and quite warm. ... read more
As soon as I saw these I knew I had to have them! They are super flattering and look cool as well! The only thing I would say is, as a wearer of compression tights these are nowhere near as firm.. But overall they are great! I'm a size 8 and bought the XS and it's more than comfortable. ... read more
I've used mine for a while now and its pretty good. Material quality is very good, no itching or rubbing so far. I am 5.8" and size small fit is decent, but I wish it to be just a bit shorter in sleeve and hem length. ... read more
Run Tee is lightweight, can be thrown in the gym bag and does what it says on the tin. It's allows for movement and keeps you looking dry. I have found it perfect for combat and power exercise classes. The colour is stunning. Love it. ... read more
Really great product, amazing quality, fabric is light and breathable but not see through at all, very durable feeling product, small extras add to the value and quality feel such as ankle zips, and small pocket on the waist band, not to mention hey're both fashionable and practical. I would definitely recommend! ... read more
I was excited to find a Boston Marathon hoodie. I get chilled easily so my hope was to have something casual representing the Boston Marathon that I could use daily with regular street clothes. The fit of the hoodie is nice and has a half-zip at the back that can be un-zipped at the bottom for a looser fit. Nice color and the emblem on the front is visible but not too flashy. However, the "reflective details" as listed in the description are unfortunately much too flashy. The entire hood (which is also much too big and loose in my opinion) has about 1/2 inch wide reflective material around the entire edge of the hood. When I put this hoodie on and looked in the mirror for the first time it literally looked like the hood was plugged in. This is great if you want to be noticed at night by oncoming traffic but not good if you are just shopping around town. The same reflective material also outlines the back zipper. So, this is a nice hoodie to run in on cold days but unfortunately odd looking for every-day wear. ... read more

great interview, great feature, neat addition to the site - love the idea of this quick interviews - nice job!
TJ is also really improving his public communications, and his twitter Q&A was full of tidbits.
Yes. Great video. When Chris asked the question about starting line-ups and mixing in people, I expected a coach-speak response like "yeah, we'll be experimenting and we'll see who fits". I like that he answered the question saying we'll be playing to win and and our line-up will be the one that gives us the best chance to win.

Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
Glad you guys like it. We'll do this weekly during the Big 12 season. Probably a couple times a month until things really pick up.
Awesome feature - may want to have him erase the whiteboard behind him though - looks like it may have a user name and password on it :)
Thanks for your work Chris!
Just get him to change the password - soon.

Great new feature CW. TJ is a great coach with good insite for the game of basketball. All Cyclone fans should feel very good about the time of all Cyclone coaches give back to our fanbase. They know how special each and every fan is. Not every team in the country has the access to the coaches like our university! Looking forward to more in the future. I believe we will have special year in baskerball.GO CYCLONES!!!!

One more piece missing in the puzzle to complete the picture.
What about pulled pork? It feeds alot of people, is easy enough to prepare, and if you use a sweeter bbq sauce it will please the kids too...
We did chili with lots of options for toppings. I also ordered a Jimmy John's party tray for $30. More people ate the chili, though.

We did a Hungry Caterpillar party, so we had all the foods the caterpillar ate in the book (and it was surprisingly not expensive at all)... but we found that pretty much everyone ate just a bit of fruit, several sandwiches, and ice cream... the salad, sausages, cherry pie, candy, cake, and much fo the fruit went untouched. So I'd deifnitely go for sandwiches... ham, turkey, cheese, some tomato slices, and bread.

Pizza is always a cheap option
U can also maybe get croissants from Costco and put lunch meat and cheese in them and have additional toppings on the side with chips
