Poly (adenosine diphosphate–ribose) polymerase (PARP) is an important regulator of DNA repair and the target of several agents in development across tumor types. Geoff Shapiro provided a comprehensive review of PARP biology and the strong rationale for cancer drug development.
DNA repair can occur through several pathways including base-excision repair, nuclear-excision repair, mismatch repair, homologous repair (HR), nonhomologous end-joining, and single-strand annealing.1 PARP plays an important role in repairing single-strand breaks through the base-excision repair mechanism. PARP inhibitors prevent single-strand break repair leading to double-stranded breaks (DSB) and γH2AX foci formation.2 DSB repair occurs preferentially through the HR pathway.3 This pathway is disrupted in several conditions, including ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) deficiency (mutations present in 10%–15% of non–small-cell lung cancer [NSCLC]), phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) deficiency, Fanconi deficiency, and BRCA1/2 deficiency. DSB that are not repaired efficiently lead to cell death. BRCA deficient cells are highly sensitive to single-agent PARP inhibition. Low BRCA1 expression (mRNA) has been associated with improved survival in patients with stage II–IIIA NSCLC treated with preoperative cisplatin and gemcitabine.4 PARP inhibitors also sensitize cells to the effects of chemotherapy.
Several inhibitors in clinical development in lung cancer were reviewed.
Veliparib (ABT-888; Abbott, Abbott Park, IL) is a potent inhibitor of PARP with good oral bioavailability and the ability to cross the blood–brain barrier. Veliparib potentiates platinum agents and temozolomide, as well as radiation.5 Veliparib is currently in phase II testing in a multicenter first-line randomized trial in unselected patients with NSCLC (N = 120). Patients receive carboplatin/paclitaxel with and without veliparib. The trial's primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Dr. Shapiro presented a schema for a Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP)-sponsored phase I dose-escalation trial (CTEP 8484) combining veliparib (administered orally daily) with a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (SCH727965, days 8 and 22) in patients with BRCA proficient cancers.
David Gandara discussed the potential role of PARP inhibitors in combination with chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced NSCLC. Chemoradiation can prevent HR of DSB induced by PARP inhibitors.6 Dr. Gandara presented preclinical data showing how veliparib potentiates the antitumor effects of platinum and radiation. Data were also presented, which demonstrated how squamous tumors express higher levels of PARP1, ERCC1, and BRCA 1/2 compared with adenocarcinomas. Finally, a schema for a phase I Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) trial (NCI 8811) was presented looking at the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel, veliparib, and radiation in patients with stage III NSCLC. The goal then would be to proceed with a randomized placebo-controlled phase II trial in 104 patients, where enrollment is stratified by histology (squamous versus nonsquamous), performance status, and prior weight loss.
Olaparib (AZD 2281; AstraZeneca, London, England) is an oral PARP inhibitor, which has shown potent antitumor activity in patients with BRCA-mutated breast cancer7 and in ovarian cancer with or without BRCA1 or 2 mutations.8 A pivotal phase II dose-escalation trial demonstrated activity in patients with refractory and BRCA-mutated ovarian, breast, and prostate cancer. Reversible dose-limiting toxicity included mood changes, fatigue, somnolence, and thrombocytopenia. A phase II study of olaparib in ovarian cancer demonstrated responses in 41% and 24% in patients with and without BRCA1/2 mutations, respectively. Recently, olaparib was studied in a randomized phase II trial in patients with platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer, who achieved a partial or complete response to chemotherapy. Patients (N = 265) were randomized to switch-maintenance therapy with olaparib 400 mg orally twice daily or to placebo. Olaparib improved PFS (median, 8.4 versus 4.8 months, hazard ratio (HR), 0.35; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.25–0.49; p < 0.001). Toxicity included nausea, fatigue, vomiting, and anemia. Giuseppe Giaccone presented results from a phase I study at the National Cancer Institute where olaparib was combined with cisplatin and gemcitabine in patients with refractory solid tumors. This trial was designed to study the safety of this combination and find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of olaparib. This trial also examined chemotherapy's effects, with or without olaparib, on PAR levels in biopsy and peripheral blood specimens, pre and post-treatment. Twenty-three patients were enrolled, eight (35%) of whom had NSCLC.
Myelosuppression was the primary toxicity and prevented the use of standard doses of chemotherapy with olaparib. The MTD of the combination with olaparib dosed on days 1 through 4 is olaparib 100 mg orally daily days 1 to 4, cisplatin 50 mg/m2 intravenously on day 3, and gemcitabine 400 mg/m2 intravenously on days 3 and 10. The MTD of the combination with olaparib dosed on day 1 is olaparib 100 mg twice daily on day 1, cisplatin 60 mg/m2 on day 1, and gemcitabine 500 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8. Olaparib exposure was modestly increased by concomitant gemcitabine, and PAR levels dropped with olaparib administration in tumor specimens. Levels also declined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but recovered in some patients by the start of the next cycle. Finally, Dr. Giaccone reviewed a multicenter, randomized, phase Ib/IIb study still in progress evaluating olaparib and gefitinib versus gefitinib alone in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC being conducted by the Spanish Lung Group.
LY2603618 (IC-83; Lilly Indianapolis, IN) was presented within the PARP session, but is not a PARP inhibitor. Rather, this is an inhibitor of the cell-cycle checkpoint kinase 1 (chk1), an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent serine-threonine kinase. Chk1 is activated by DSB and is overexpressed in a number of cancers. Chk1 inhibition prevents DNA repair and may potentiate chemotherapy. LY2603618 has been safely combined with gemcitabine in patients with refractory cancers, and was combined with pemetrexed in a recently completed trial. Patients with newly diagnosed stage IV nonsquamous NSCLC are currently being recruited for a single-arm phase II trial of LY2603618, cisplatin, and pemetrexed, with the primary aim of assessing PFS.
Iniparib (BSI-201; sanofi-aventis, Paris, France) was another agent presented in this session with an antitumor effect that seems to be other than PARP inhibition. This agent was initially described as a PARP inhibitor and was associated with remarkable survival benefits, with no excess toxicity when combined with carboplatin and gemcitabine in women with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in a randomized phase II study.9 However, the improvement in overall survival could not be replicated in a phase III study, and iniparib's mechanism of action was re-explored. Recent data suggested that iniparib may have several antitumor effects including inhibition of DNA repair; however, its level of PARP inhibition is considered modest. Iniparib has been studied in patients with newly diagnosed stage IV NSCLC in a randomized phase II study presented recently at the 14th World Congress on Lung Cancer in Amsterdam.10 One hundred and nineteen patients were randomized to cisplatin and gemcitabine, with or without iniparib. The primary endpoint was to assess the objective response rate. Investigators found no advantage for the iniparib cohort in terms of response; however, the PFS (5.7 versus 4.3 months, HR 0.69) and overall survival (11.2 versus 8.5 months, HR 0.75) favored iniparib, although not statistically significant. Iniparib is currently in phase III testing in patients with advanced squamous lung cancer. Patients are randomized to carboplatin and gemcitabine, with or without iniparib. The study's primary endpoint is to assess overall survival.
PARP inhibitors are in active development as single agents and in combination with chemotherapy across tumor types, including lung cancer. Trials in unselected patients were designed with the hypothesis that PARP inhibition benefits all patients. A recent positive trial in BRCA-mutated and wild-type ovarian cancer with maintenance olaparib supports this design. However, future development of these agents should also include studies focused in patients with tumors already at risk for compromised DNA repair. Trials should be designed with PARP inhibitors in patients with BRCA1 and 2 methylated, Excision Repair Cross-Complementing 1 aberrant, PTEN-deficient, or ATM-deficient lung cancers. These could be single-agent trials, or combination studies with chemotherapy and/or radiation. Agents such as veliparib, which cross the blood–brain barrier, may also play a role in reducing central nervous system progression.

At the federal level, Rove cited a few recent rulings - The Ninth Circuit Court's declaration that "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional and the dismissal by a federal judge of a 10-count indictment against hard-core pornographers on grounds that the federal obscenity law violated the pornographer's right to privacy, "despite the fact that popularly-elected representatives in Congress had passed the obscenity laws and that the pornographers distributed materials with simulations where women were raped and killed."
What these two speeches have in common is their aggressive tone. Before demagoguery became the primary product of contemporary politics, we once saw more politicians battling it out with the opposition instead of the namby-pamby, feel-good, kumbayah, can't-we-all-get-along approach that is as palatable as cold oatmeal. Why haven't we heard more of this rhetoric from the administration instead of the unattainable objective of "changing the tone in Washington"?
The Bush and Rove speeches should signal a new battle strategy for the administration. Here's something else that would help: expose more Americans to the gratitude of the Iraqi people. Visit www.theotheriraq.com. The Web page features Kurds thanking America. Why have their voices not been heard on American news broadcasts and in major newspapers?
Some of these grateful people should be brought to the United States for a "Thank You America" event. Let the Democrats tell the liberated Iraqis they should not have been freed from the clutches of Saddam Hussein.
It's time to play hardball with the left and this would be a good first pitch. Offense wins football games and wars. It also shapes public opinion. Stack this political offense with more of the type of rhetoric used last week by President Bush and Karl Rove.

ADDA's Mission...."Support and Prepare the Design Profession to Preserve the Past and Imagine the Future."
It is at almost the end of November and time for some more comments concerning ADDA, in the present and future. At the 2015 TECON and Board of Directors Meeting, there were two new programs voted on and approved, that will provide ADDA Instructor Members an opportunity to enhance their career and all members an option to buy insurance policies, if so desired.
Instructors, ADDA is now proud to offer Instructor Certification at three levels of certification: Certified Instructor, Professional Instructpr and Master Instructor. Each level requires different amounts of experience and education in a specific area of design drafting instruction. Those areas of instruction are Architectural, Mechanical, General and Digital. ADDA believes that this will become more important and possibly a requirement as schools, school districts and state departments of education look for industry certification of their instructional staff. Please check our website www.adda.org for additional information.
Another new program is an Insurance Program offering life, health, professional liability, dental, etc. for our members and sponsors. ADDA Health Insurance is offered through a partnership with Association Health Programs located in Oak Park Kansas and is a great opportunity for individuals to have or add to existing coverage or companies that want to offer insurance to their employees. Please check our website www.adda.org for additional information.
The 2015-2016 Drafting Contest is ready and all information is on the website. I always look forward to the contest as it gives me an indication of what is currently being taught and an opportunity to provide positive feedback to the entrants by judging their entries. Please note that I only judge the mechanical entries as architectural drafting concepts are 'Greek' to me. I encourage all students from a member school to enter. Please check our website www.adda.org for additional information.
The 2015-2016 Poster Contest is ready and all the information is on the website. I always get excited to see the creative ideas which are reflected in the entries. This years theme is Diversity in Design which is also the theme of TECON 2016 and the 2016 Design Drafting Week. Please visit our website www.adda.org for additional information.
The ADDA Staff and Board of Directors are in the planning stages for TECON 2016 which will be held in Birmingham, Alabama during the week of 5-8 April 2016. This years theme is Diversity in Design. We plan to feature sessions related to the changing design teams influenced by youth in the workforce, cultural and minority inspirations in our designs and resourceful concepts. We have issued a CALL for PRESENTATIONS on our website, if you would like to submitt a presentation for consideration. Please visit the 2016 Conference Website Page for new information as it is posted. I think this will the best conference yet !
Remember, our ADDA Annual Awards applications are now available for download. Each year we look for the best Student, Professional, Educator and Chapter to acknowledge their accomplishments. Be sure to visit the Awards Page and download the related application.
In closing, I would like to remind all of you, member or non-member, that the ADDA is the only organization that totally supports the drafting/design profession with continuing education for professionals and soon to be professionals within the drafting/design profession. Check out what ADDA has to offer!
Remember ADDA is a 501c3 non-profit volunteer association. All our directors and committees donate their time and effort to improve the profession to benefit other drafters, designers and graphic professionals. If you would like to assist with any program or be involved with a committee or specific area, please contact me. Most of our volunteer opportunities can be accomplished through emails and telephone calls. Volunteering will give you exposure at the next level in your career to improve your network, job skills and personal development.

Hundreds of people braved the cold temperatures out at Keeneland this morning.
They hoped to get their commemorative Maker's Mark bottles signed by UK'S Unforgettables team.
John Pelphry, Richie Farmer, Sean Woods and Deron Feldhouse are featured on the bottle.
They came out early this morning to sign the bottle for fans.
The signing was supposed to start at 6:00, but organizers began early because the line was so long.
Only the first 1300 people will get their bottles signed.
Proceeds from the bottle sales will go toward helping the UK Markey Cancer Center.

Cher called, she wants her ass gag back.
Except, like, if Gags took a Cher dive into an audience of marines, either they wouldn't catch her or they'd throw her back.
my Lita Ford looks surprisingly good all these years.
He looks so fucking disgusted. Like he just watched someone puke.
Is that some sort of mold or fungus creeping up her back?
Really? That is the best she's got? Not wearing clothes?
this is not attractive…or entertaining.
nothing wrong with that ass that wouldn't look better bent over a table

PartSelect Number PS2066487
This drawer track supports the left hand side of the sliding drawer.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This is the right side drawer slide rail.
Level of DifficultyReally easy
Time to do repair:Less than 15 mins
ToolsScrew drivers
CustomerMark from Fairbury NE
First I removed the shelf with rail components from the refrigerator, then removed the plastic rails from the shelf assembly. The new rails did not come with the nylon wheel and retaining screw assemblies, so they were removed from the old rails and installed in the new rails using an #2 phillips head screwdriver. I then snapped the new rails into the shelf assembly and re-installed the shelf into the fridge.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Level of DifficultyVery Difficult
Time to do repair:15 - 30 mins
CustomerJeffrey from Tiverton RI
Removing the broken rail was very difficult. There is a small notch that actually holds it in place. To remove the old rail, there was a hole in the metal bracket next to where the notch was. You had to apply pressure through the hole to the rail to slightly bend it to get it to release the notch to slide the old rail out. After the old rail was removed, the new rail with rack wheel installed, slid in and snapped into place very easily.
Level of DifficultyEasy
CustomerMiguel from Berkeley CA
First, removed glass shelf from fridge. Then removed old rails from underside of the glass shelf; this was a bit tricky because the rails have a plastic catch, so I had to wedge a screwdriver between the rail and the steel hardware under the shelf. Then I gently hammered out the rail. Reinstalling the new rails was very easy.
CustomerKen from Nantucket MA
1-Removed drawer; removed drawer shelve which contained rails; slid old rail out of shelve mounts with light taps on ends. 2- Screwed on the new rollers to rail guides; reinstalled new guides into shelve mounts; re-installed shelve onto mountings in refrigerator; re-inserted drawer nto new rails-Done! Received parts 48 hrs. after placing order!Great job! Third positive experience with Parts Select.
CustomerJames from Boulder City NV
The drawer guide mounts in slots on a bracket hanging below the shelf above. Only had to use a screwdriver to move the plastic tab in the slotted bracket then slide the whole plastic guide out. ordering the new one was easy, cheap, and quick through PartsSelect.com. The new part just popped in without tools. Very easy!
CustomerTerry from Oklahoma City OK
I slid the meat tray out of the broken rails and after cleaning it I used a flat head screw driver to pry gently the plastic rails slightly away from the metal tray to unlock the broken plastic rails and slid them forward to free them off the metal tray.Replacement was very easy sliding the new plastic rails back on the metal tray until they locked into place then screwed the plastic wheels on to the new rails and replaced the repaired tray back into place. Thank you Part Select for your service and help. Terry R. from Oklahoma City
ToolsPliers, Screw drivers
CustomerVeronna from Sonoma AL
I first looked at the current assembly so that I could see how the new parts were to go (thanks Dad!) Then I removed the drawer and unscrewed the rails. Next, I removed the guide wheels from the old set of rails and installed them into the new rails. After that it was just a matter of screwing in the new rails and sliding the old drawer front plate onto the new drawer. Whala! Back in business.
CustomerJames from Hayward WI
Removed and replaced by hand
CustomerMichael from Okemos MI
I had a heck of a time getting the broken rail off the drawer. I had to pry quite a bit with a screwdriver to get it to slide off. Other than that, it was like falling off a log.
CustomerBrian from Modesto CA
First I removed all food items from above and in the Meat drawer. Then I removed the meat drawer from the slides and placed it on the counter. Then I removed the shelf that the slide rails are attached to and turned it upside down on some folded towels. Next I inserted a screwdriver (Flat tip) between the bracket and the rail I am about to remove. This released the locking tabs. Then I slid the old rail back and it popped off. I install the new rails without the screwdriver inserting them in the slots and sliding them into place. Next I reinstalled the glass shelf back into the fridge. Finally I inserted the meat drawer back into the new slides. The Job went rather easy, just take your time and don't pry the screw driver too much, just enough to clear the locking tab.
CustomerJoseph from Saratoga Springs NY
I took the original shelf out of the fridge with the brackets and the slide rail attached. The most difficult part was actually dismounting the slide rail from the bracket so I could replace it. I did this by leveraging the rail away from the bracket with a screwdriver so it could move freely and then banged it out. Once the old slide rail was off I just snapped in the new piece, screwed the wheel from the old rail onto the new one.
Customerdan from east lansing MI
tricky part was removal of the old drawer rails. they have a little nub that sides in but does not slide out (the nub is a small triangle piece) so easily. needed to revmove the nub by use of a chisel (sharp knife would work). once that nub was gone the old rail slipped out and the new one slid right in.
CustomerChristopher from Trenton MI
Examining the right side rail, which would not stay in, there was a small projection on the outside of it which had sheared off. The fix was a straight replacement, just slide it in from the rear. It took a good bit of force to get the ramped projection over the hump and into its slot.
CustomerRon from Scarborough ME
Remove rails by sliding toward the rear of the draw, remove screw holding roller wheels with screw driver, installrollers onto new rails, tighten screw, and insert new rails.Force rails forward till rail locks into place.
CustomerEd from Montrose NY
simply removed and replaced bracketsremoved the 2 screws from old brackets and replaced on new brackets

A burly thief has been nicknamed the "Bare Arm Bandit" for wearing tank tops during two recent bank robberies in Southern California.
In an effort to catch the sculpted culprit, the FBI and police yesterday released surveillance photos from the heists on June 7 and 16 at Wells Fargo locations in Santa Ana.
Besides donning either a white or black tank top to show of his physique during the robberies, the suspect rounds out his ensemble with a black baseball cap and sunglasses.
Story continues below
A man called the "Bare Arm Bandit" by police in Southern California is believed to be responsible for two bank robberies in two weeks in Orange County.
The so-called "Bare Arm Bandit" is accused of robbing a Wells Fargo in Santa Ana on June 7 and another Wells Fargo in the same town on June 16.
The FBI and police warn that the bank thief could be carrying a weapon.
He's about 25 years old, 6 feet tall, "muscular" and "unshaven," according to an FBI statement.
During the stickups he appeared impatient, according to the FBi's description, and simulated to bank employees that he was carrying a weapon stuck in his waistband.
The Santa Ana police and Orange County sheriff's department are involved in the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the FBI's Los Angeles office at 888 CANT HIDE (888 226-8443).

Rose Byrne was confronted by a huge spider while driving
By email@example.com (WENN Newsdesk)
Actress Rose Byrne was left terrified after a massive spider appeared in a car she was driving in Australia.
The Bridesmaids star was vacationing in her native country in February (13), when she found a fearsome-looking Huntsman in the vehicle with her.
She says, "I was driving along and just where the sun visor is a spider dropped right down, a huntsman, and it spread out its legs right in front of me and I think it looked at me. I'm pretty sure it looked at me. I just went, (screams), and ran off to the side of the road and got out of the car and brushed myself off madly.
"I was like, 'OK, alright, great great, great,' got back into the car, drove along. Then it came up again onto the dashboard and I'm a bit scared of spiders, so I was totally, totally panicked. So I was like, (screams again), pulled over, rolled down the windows and went for like an hour walk to make sure the spider got out of the car."

Bedford couple's nonprofit being assisted by Crown Royal
A New Hampshire-based organization dedicated to sending care packages to soldiers overseas is receiving an unexpected Christmas gift from an unusual entity.
This holiday season, Crown Royal has offered to donate 25 cents to MooreMart � a local nonprofit organization founded by a Bedford man and his sister � for every bottle of whiskey sold in November and December, up to $10,000.
�We are so grateful to them,� said Carole Biggio, co-founder of MooreMart. �They are a big supporter of the troops, so this is a really exciting initiative for us.�
MooreMart is a 501(c)3 organization that typically sends about 1,800 care packages to New Hampshire troops every 10 weeks. To date, more than 50,000 MooreMart care packages and more than four tons of relief supplies have been shipped to the Middle East to help schools, clinics and orphanages through the MooreMart initiative.
It costs a lot of money to ship all of the packages overseas, according to Biggio, who said the money donated by Crown Royal at the end of the year will be used to help offset some of those shipping costs.
�Shipping is the biggest expense in our operation, so this unexpected money will greatly help with that,� she said.
It was about five years ago when MooreMart received its first request from a soldier for the well-known purple velvet Crown Royal bags used to store high quality whiskey.
�We definitely thought it was a strange request at the time,� said Biggio, adding it didn�t take long for her organization to learn that soldiers were using the soft, drawstring bags to store, carry and clean their night-vision goggles.
The bags are an ideal size to keep the goggles protected, said Biggio, adding MooreMart has since collected and shipped more than 4,200 Crown Royal bags to soldiers serving in the Middle East.
MooreMart, in conjunction with the local community and area American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars groups, has been collecting the bags for about five years.
�We have no idea what to expect,� said Biggio, adding whatever the final donation tally is at the end of the year, MooreMart will be incredibly appreciative.
Although most New Hampshire troops have returned home, Paul Moore, co-founder of MooreMart, said previously that his organization continues to receive requests from different units being deployed throughout the nation. The care packages are personally prepared and custom packed for individual requests, and it takes dozens of volunteers to help coordinate all of the boxes. MooreMart�s next packing event will take place Feb. 14-16 at the U.S. Army National Guard Armory in Nashua.

Does anyone have tips regarding altering jeans (denim or twill) after having lost weight? They all seem to come with those french type of seams. It seems one could use regular seams on the inseam and no one would really notice they were different there.
And the waistband? Perhaps just a dart could do the trick, except it wouldn't quite fit the lower part anymore....a V-shaped dart might do?
Then there are those strange buttons! I'd like to move it over, but how to take it off? Wouldn't it leave a hole? Then how to put it back on?
I'd like to use one of those items sold to cinch it in...but most I see are for making the pants and button larger for when one gains weight, not loses it.
I've got a bunch of perfectly good jeans I can't really wear now and would like to salvage them somehow.
Thanks for any ideas.
I always have this problem anymore when I buy pants. But have found the answer to it without removing the waistband and adding darts etc. Basically it involves making a vertical slit at the inside of the jeans waistband and sewing in a short piece of elastic to pull in the excess fabric. Very fast and easy with instant gratification.
It is written up here in Marcie Tilton's October 2008 Newsletter "Getting My Jeans To Fit."
Scroll down to What Would Nandini Do?
Well... I did lose some weight and had to confront the favorite jeans being too big. Since I never put my jeans in the dryer, I started drying them in the dryer and that has been good for the first round (10 pounds lost or thereabouts).
Now I am just looking for new jeans and using the looser ones when I garden or clean.
------"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." Anais Nin
"Attitude is the difference between an adventure and an ordeal." unknown
The elastic insert is a good idea; I figured someone had to come up with an innovative idea.
I've been considering shrinking them, too, but mine usually shrink more lengthwise than widthwise. However, I can always wear boots in winter if they shrink into "floods"! Or perhaps capris!
I figure if I lose weight I "DESERVE" new clothes. lol.
------Dawn T.
I thought about altering too. But like Tarrbaby, I lost that weight, I wanted skinny jeans!
"I'm not messy, I'm creative" - Mary Engelbreight
I wouldn't alter jeans-too much heavy fabric with seams that are very thick. Of course, I don't like to alter RTW clothes anyway which is partly why I didn't go into business when I was younger. It is often hard to duplicate what the manufacturer did. Jeans are cheap at Walmart and Target-I would buy a pair or two their until my weight settled down and then buy a nicer pair in the brand I liked. That's just me of course but why make things harder than they have to be? Congratulations on losing some weight-it is not easy to do.
This is exactly what I do. I works very well.
Taking out the flat-felled seams don't really seem worth the time.
Buy new britches and celebrate the new size!

"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
I have altered jeans and it is a lot of takeing apart and then sewing back the way it was.
This is what i did when i lost a lot of weight. I took the side seams apart and adjusted them to fit. Took the waist band split it in the back center. this makes a seam but you can cover that with the belt loop.
Works everytime.
------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
I did a similar thing to the Marcy Tilton idea, but used wide, soft elastic on the inner face of the waistband. It works for small alterations like my sway back. Blog post with photos here I have lost weight, too, and I just kept tightening my belt until it was time for new jeans. Big alterations on them is just too much work for me.

Laptops have become the need of the day for common people now-a-days. Earlier touted as being the essential accompaniment of the professional working class only, this likeable gadget has now become one of the widest used entities not only in corporate offices, but also at home, schools, shops, and almost everywhere. The easy transportability of laptops has made them much more preferable as compared to desktop computers. However, utmost care needs to be taken while taking your laptop out with you. A good laptop bag comes in handy at such a time and helps protect your gadget from possible shocks, scratches and temperature fluctuation.

Converted from an old Zebrakenko 10 speed bought from some lady for $35 as a fully functioning bike. Felt like taking some pictures today. Enjoy.
Since finishing the conversion, I've made a few changes. Chop and flop, grinded and sanded the larger chainring off, put on a rear blinker since I ride at night a lot, new front brake lever and cable, and a b17 a few days ago. The handkerchief is a function over form thing to prevent scratches when I lock up, but it matches the bar tape almost perfectly so I don't mind it.

Just to play devil's advocate, the Ten Forward set doesn't fit... but neither do the secondary shuttlebays. We can wave our hands and imagine the vertical outer wall and door as being inset from the angled outer hull and door, but what would be the point of such a discrepancy?
I had always felt that thos were "loading bays", at the back of the shuttlebay spaces. This theory does of course ignore some of the visuals, but it makes sense from a technical standpoint.

MLS® System
Is it possible to find a great deal on Calgary MLS® (multiple listing service) System? Yes, but it takes patience and the help of an experienced REALTOR®. Calgary real estate prices have been rising up until the end of 2014 and only few homes were available for sale, which made it harder to get a great deal from the MLS®. Our Investor Clients buy many properties to fix and flip and hold as rental properties and 90 percent of the purchases are from the MLS®. In 2014 we found 2% of the MLS® listings were priced 10%-15% below market. This year, the economic climate is expected to cool off the housing market, and it could create more opportunity for Real Estate Investors.(Buying Investment Properties from Calgary MLS® System continued...)

I'm trying to take data from three different tables and output it using as few queries and as little PHP code as possible.
Listed below are the tables I have and the columns in each (only listing relevant columns).
exp_members (A)
columns: member_id, group_id
exp_brandrelations (B)
columns: member_id, brand_id
exp_du_mktgmats (C)
columns: du_id, brand_id, date
I want to loop through the members who belong to group_id='5' (from A), determine which brands are assigned to each member (from B), and get a list of du_ids (from C) that correspond to each member, that have been INSERTed in the last 24 hours.
So far, I can get a list of members in group 5:
SELECT member_id, brand_id FROM exp_brandrelations
WHERE member_id IN (SELECT member_id FROM exp_members where group_id = 5)
And I can get a list of du_ids from the last 24 hours:
SELECT du_id FROM exp_du_mktgmats
WHERE date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
But I'm not sure how best to tie it all together.

I'll start off by rating each individual part that matters to me, of the phone, such as the camera, screen, etc.
Shipping: 9/10
Shipping has nothing to do with the device itself, but being that One Plus is an online merchant, shipping is a vital aspect to their product because it's the only way to get it. I ordered the phone July 1st, and by July 5th it was already in my hands... I also live on the other side of the country, Florida, so it was a really nice things that shipping and processing was so quick for me. Maybe I just got lucky and ordered it at the right time, but it got here quickly and that's what matters.
Packaging: 10/10
DSC_0036 by Scirca, on Flickr
I told myself I wouldn't give any 10/10's because perfection doesn't exist, but for the sake of being fair, this rating is more of a comparative one, not an absolute one.
The packaging is beautiful. It's simplistic, two toned, the colors pop out, it's truly a very nice experience to unbox the phone when you finally get it. I've unboxed many, many devices and the packaging which I've most liked is without a doubt, the One Plus One's.
Accessories: 9/10
DSC_0053 by Scirca, on Flickr
Have you seen the freaking cable. The phone is beautiful UP TO THE DAMN CABLE!
But seriously, this is a really nice cable bruH. The power brick is alright, but it's just a bit big in my opinion, it could serve the same function and perhaps be a bit smaller, or maybe it needs to be the size that it is, but I just prefer carrying around a smaller power brick. The inclusion of a SIM removal tool is nice and necessary (Apple didn't send me one when I ordered my 5S ) and I have no idea why it's made for a key ring but as you can see, it's already made itself home on my key ring, even though I might use it maybe twice in the life of the phone.
Design: 7/10
DSC_0054 by Scirca, on Flickr
Initially the design doesn't seem very striking... until you hold the phone in your hand. The sandstone black cover feels approximately like worn felt, and really gives it a super weird but really nice, premium feel. The tapered edges make the phone feel very thin, and the metal band around the screen nice, though it really doesn't add much to the phone other than looks.. The only thing is that the screen is slightly raised above the entire body of the device... one small mistake and you will probably end up killing the poor thing.
Button placement is just right, it makes one handed use with the phone a bit more comfortable, although I do have pretty big hands and one-handed use of the device is still a bit cumbersome. The speakers and ports look pretty great, but my biggest grip with the design, apart from the raised screen, is the fact that the headphone jack is on the top of the device; I really can't believe this is still a thing... if you normally put the device in your pocket bottom first, you are a sick, twisted person.
Speakers: 9/10
DSC_0047 by Scirca, on Flickr
The stereo speakers sound great and boy, are they loud. This isn't any studio quality or thousand dollar speakers, the bass is non-existent, mids sound kinda dead sometimes, but they're stereo, and they're loud, and it's usually the most neglected part of the phone, so the fact that they do their job well is always a bonus.
Camera: 10/10
DSC_0045 by Scirca, on Flickr
Oh boy here I go again with the perfect scores.
Repeat after me: Sony sensor, 13 Megapixels, f/2.0.
I'm gonna be honest with you here, I've always secretly had a thing for Sony and Carl Zeiss. They truly make some amazing sensors and glass, respectively. The camera module was an excellent choice by One Plus for the One. Dynamic range is pretty nice. Colors really depend on the light, but they're either eh, or really great (most of the time, the latter of the two). 13MP is a great number to work with, you can do significant cropping without much impact on the image quality. HDR and camera features are plenty, and the only thing missing is photo sphere, which albeit not very useful and sometimes buggy, it's an extremely cool feature.
Test Shots:
Some of these are HDR

IMG_20140713_105342 by Scirca, on Flickr
Reception: 9/10
I guess ratings will vary here because it's a very relative rating to how well the other devices connected to this thing work, but I felt like I needed to add that the WiFi antenna on this phone is extremely powerful. Where every single phone I've owned over the years does not pick up the WiFi signal in my room (being that the router is on the other side of my house, and that's pretty far away from my room), not only does the One pick up the signal, but I see very little decrease in speed, which is truly impressive. Apart from that, 4G, 3G and edge are there and work. Signal strength from networks is pretty close to that of other phones.
Software/OS: 9/10 & Battery Life: 8/10
Screenshot_2014-07-13-11-25-19 by Scirca, on Flickr
One of the selling points of the One is Cyanogenmod. While I've always preferred other AOSP ROMs, namely AOKP, CM11 is a really great ROM. It's like vanilla bean ice cream, not quite vanilla, but nice indeed. There are a ton of features that it adds, and a great deal of functionality. The fact that the phone has at least one permanent team of developers is very reassuring. The only bad thing that comes with this are bugs. There's bugs everywhere, open the camera app and focus somewhere and wait a few seconds, the "Auto" mode indicator will quickly flash itself. NFC Beaming isn't supported by the CM Gallery (it crashes), and it's all little nuisances. Yes, custom ROMs are notorious for bugs, and yes, it is annoying to sometimes have to miss out on a few features because of this, but at the end of the day, developers are more attentive to the people using the ROMs, and fixes usually come much, much quicker than say Samsung or HTC. And you get versions of Android much faster than both of these companies, too.
Also, CM has been notorious for having some crappy battery life, but this time, it is not the case. battery life is the same, or better than my iPhone 5S, which I consider to be the most battery efficient you can buy, and the best battery in any phone; the battery may be tiny, but the software is very tuned.
Screen: 5/10 (See below)
It's 5.5 Inches, 1080p, fairly pixel dense, not much else to say here. Color representation is fairly accurate, although it is a bit warm and saturated, but warm and saturated is nice. And yes, whites do look yellow at the bottom of the display. Regardless of what One Plus says, this should definitely not be like that, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt...except panels are plagues with problems; see here:
The sad thing is that I can literally go back and write the entire review about all the problems that not only I have encountered but many other have encountered with their devices. I myself have a yellow tint and a line of slow pixels running vertically through the display, that almost looks like the actual LCD is scratched. (see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkMKx46Cvp4 and the images below). Yellow tint is a problem, not a huge deal to me, yes I would love for One Plus to exchange my device for a working one, but it's not like I'm going to die if they don't; what is going to kill me is that damn line running through the screen. Every time I take a picture it's there, every time I watch a movie or a vine or a video, it's there, and it's extremely annoying.

This leads me on to the next topic:
Customer Service: -1/10 (See below)
I don't think I've ever given given a negative rating for anything...ever, but wow One Plus, you definitely earned this one!
I'm actually going to quote myself (dat ego):
The only problem with this thread is that yes, while other, more expensive phones were susceptible to the same problem as the OPO, regarding the yellow tint, the difference is that in most of the threads, the people talk about how their devices were replaced with functioning devices by their respective manufacturers. A screen is the most important part of the phone, and it's extremely childish for a company to be calling certain defects in their panels a "normal occurrence". Seriously? Normal in the sense it happens often, not normal in the sense that the screen is working in the way that it is intended to. BTW, not only am I referring to yellow screens, but to your pixel anomalies. The customer service has seriously been the only bad thing I can find with the phone, which is extremely infuriating, since it's an optimal part of the phone, and various companies with sub-par phones (*cough* Apple *cough*) has prided themselves in customer service and iPhones have been and will continue selling like hotcakes, I mean ffs my iPhone 5S was once replaced by them just because the screen was slightly elevated from the body.
Shame on you One Plus for making such a great phone but having no regard not only for your prospective customers, but your current customers as well.
And trust me, there are many, many more posts and threads that have been merged or hidden. The thing that most people need to understand is that the phone is fine, every phone will have defects, regardless of the manufacturer, what counts is how the manufacturer deals with those defects. If they deal with transparency and with a willingness to help out the customer, they will do very good in the future. If they hide things and deny things and don't care about their customers or warranties or anything, shame on them.
Do I recommend this phone? At the moment, no, not until One Plus stands up for their mistakes and starts treating their customer and prospective customers like real customers, not trash. I've gone from desperately wanting the One to desperately trying to get an RMA . If that doesn't work I wouldn't mind selling my device or trading it for a G3, because while yes, I'll have to settle for a few things with the G3, at least LG won't make me settle for crappy customer service.
If you receive an invite, think twice about purchasing the phone, because while you may be lucky and your device won't suffer from any issues, you may very well be unlucky and suffer one of the many issues the device is plagued with. Just be careful, and remember that the choice is always yours.
One Plus, you've stood behind your device for being great, and it is, but if you're not standing behind it enough to honor your warranty and the manufacturing issues you've had with your devices, then you're basically not standing behind it at all. We all $350 that we paid for, we want devices free of defects, we want real transparency. If this is too much to ask, not only as a phone manufacturer, but as a company, you will not get very far.

Acer Iconia W700 review: A mixed bag of Windows 8 whatsit
Acer's Windows 8 tablet with dock stand and keyboard just doesn't measure up as a convertible
Not quite a tablet, a desktop, a notebook, or a convertible, the Acer Iconia W700 occupies a strange netherworld among all of those form factors. It's a bold experiment in design and a sign of how Windows 8 can inspire intriguing new ways for a computing device to be packaged. However, it's also an awkward device to work with.
The tablet part of the W700 (11.6 by 7.5 by 0.47 inches), with its lightweight aluminum body, is a little thicker than some other tablets and a bit heavier (2.09 pounds), but not to the point where it seems clunky or unmanageable. That said, unlike other tablets, it doesn't taper its Gorilla Glass front around the rim of the device -- the edges are metal all around and a bit sharper than I expected. I'd prefer that over it feeling cheap or brittle, though. A professional SKU for the W700, the W700P, is also available. It comes with an extended two-year warranty and Windows 8 Professional but the exact same hardware configuration.

It's the dock and keyboard for the W700 that leave it a mixed bag. The dock (Acer calls it "cradle") supplies power to the unit, but also works as a viewing stand, and it can be oriented either horizontally or vertically. This is done by sliding a kickstand, a solid piece of L-shaped plastic, into the back of the dock. The stand is reasonably sturdy, but because it's all one piece, there's no way to adjust the viewing angle for the screen. This is a major disadvantage -- the default viewing angle wasn't comfortable at all.
I tried to make up for this by moving the whole unit farther away, but that didn't help. It only made the smaller elements on the 11.6-inch, 1,920-by-1,080 display all the harder to read. I'm pleased that a full HD display is provided on the W700, but you'll want to do yourself a favor and raise the dot pitch of Windows's visual elements; otherwise, you'll be squinting at the contents of every dialog box. Even the big, bold text in the Modern UI side of Windows 8 becomes a blur-fest at that resolution.
Don't count on using the included Bluetooth keyboard with the W700 if you're traveling. It doesn't attach to the unit in any form -- it's a completely freestanding piece of hardware. You don't need the dock to have the keyboard work with the W700, but juggling both keyboard and display on one's lap is a hopeless endeavor without any simple way to gang them together. The Bluetooth keyboard doesn't even include dedicated F keys, but its Fn key lets you access those and a slew of Windows 8-specific hotkeys (charms, sharing, search), which is handy. While the included stitched-leather carrying case does let you prop up the W700 at a variety of angles, it doesn't include an easy way to tote the keyboard.
