A decade ago, if you wanted a pair of Aurora Shoe Co. shoes, you went to the pole barn factory on Route 90 south of this Cayuga County village. While a resident cat looked on, you climbed a platform just inside a garage door, sat in an old church pew or lawn chair and were fitted for a pair. The quirky business model worked well for the owners and employees. The shoes -- based on styles dating back to the Middle Ages -- became popular here and overseas. Actors Jodie Foster and Liam Neeson owned Aurora shoes.

Bass Pro Shops at FL Mall: Unrealistic Expectations?
When Bass Pro Shops opened its store in the Fingerlakes Mall five years ago, the excitement was palpable. Chet Susslin / The Citizen Cars line some filled and some vacant storefronts at the Fingerlakes Crossing shopping plaza on Thursday morning. The shopping center was developed as a result of the opening of Bass Pro Shops across the street in 2004. Celebrities and government officials attended a packed ribbon-cutting ceremony. Tens of thousands of shoppers filled the store and spilled into the rest of the mall. Today, though, the scene at the mall is much quieter.

Here are the goods from this year's Zoya exchange. I agonized over which I should get, then decided not to sweat it since Zoya offers BOGO deals pretty frequently. I need to search around and come up with a list of ones I want rather than thinking, "Ooooh! Pretty!" and throwing it in my cart after trolling through the site for an hour.
The formula, as always, is fabulous. All swatches are 2 coats without base or top coats unless otherwise noted.
First up is Edyta, a dark green filled with green and gold glitter. Very close to RBL Anne, but Anne's base is more olive and it has pink and gold shimmer.
Charisma is the brightest polish I own. I don't know why I posted this pic because it looks nothing like this. It's impossible to photograph, especially on an iPhone. Go to your local office supply store and check out the neon copy paper. Find the bright neon fuschia one, and there you have Charisma. It was absolutely streaky and horrible on the first coat, but evens out nicely in two. Dries to a weird, matte-ish finish, so a topcoat is a necessity. No topcoat on my index finger above. You can kinda see it if you embiggen the pic.
Adina is a pretty metallic duochrome. The light reflects green off of this one. You can see a hint of it at the top of the bottle. It's a little brush stroke-y.
Last up is Cheryl, a shimmery brown that has a lot of depth. It is so beautiful! One of my favorites. Once I realized Zoya had a Cheryl, I couldn't pass it up.
I think Scrangie talked about names in one of her posts and how she knew she would come across Zoyas she loved or hated based on the name alone. This would be one I would love, even if the color sucked. Cheryl was my bestie's mom - so my second mom, by default, and a fabulous lady. She was a super-strong woman who didn't hesitate to tell bestie & I that we looked like dime store hoes after our first foray into make-up, or introduce me (the only white girl at her oldest daughter's graduation party) to everyone as her other daughter. She was taken way too early, and sometimes I miss her terribly. So, I'll think of her every time I wear this polish. :)

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) has ruled that alimony paid in accordance with a temporary order while a divorce case is pending is separate and distinct from general term alimony. This means that alimony paid under a temporary order is not included when determining whether durational limits on alimony have been met.
When the alimony reform act became law in Massachusetts, all previously existing alimony awards were defined to be "general term alimony." M.G.L. c. 208, sec. 49 contains limits on how long general term alimony is payable, based upon the length of the marriage. Parties with alimony obligations pre-dating the alimony reform law can bring modification actions to seek application of the durational limits, thus limiting or ending a current alimony obligation. The question that has been unanswered, until now, is whether alimony paid prior to the actual divorce judgment counted when calculating the number of months of alimony that has been paid. The SJC has ruled that only alimony paid after the actual judgment of divorce is credited towards the total term of the alimony obligation.
The decision in Holmes v. Holmes stems from an increase in alimony sought by the wife, who filed a complaint in 2011 to modify the alimony provisions in the Judgment of Divorce from October 2008 (which was prior to the alimony reform law). In the modification case, the trial court converted the husband's alimony and child support obligations to all alimony and also modified the length of time for which alimony was to be paid, calling for alimony to terminate upon the death of either party, the wife's remarriage, the husband reaching full retirement age, or October 7, 2020. The husband sought relief from the Judgment, arguing that the duration for payment of alimony should be calculated from when he began paying temporary alimony, not from the date of divorce, which would result in termination of his obligation in June 2018. The trial court denied his request for relief and the husband appealed. The husband argued that if alimony paid by order of the court while the divorce is pending (temporary alimony) is not counted towards the durational limit, an alimony recipient will be incentivized to drag out the divorce case. While essentially agreeing with the husband that a spouse receiving alimony may seek to drag out the divorce case to receive alimony for a longer period of time, the SJC did not agree that the remedy for this problem is to start the running of the clock relative to how long alimony is paid at the temporary order stage. Rather, the SJC made clear that temporary alimony is not general term alimony. General term alimony can only commence after a judgment terminates the marriage and durational limits only apply to general term alimony.
An important point that is reinforced within the decision in Holmes v. Holmes is that a judge is not obligated to order that alimony be payable for the maximum presumptive time period allowed under the alimony statute. The durational limit is just that – a limit. A trial judge does not need to order that alimony be paid for a period equally that durational limit. Additionally, if a judge determines that temporary alimony has been paid for an unusually long period of time, or that a recipient of alimony unfairly delayed final resolution of the case in an attempt to prolong the payment of alimony, the judge may determine that the appropriate duration of alimony is below the presumptive level.

Though her competitive career began over a decade ago, success on the senior international stage has been a long time coming for Japan's Akiko Suzuki.
Back in 2001 she won a bronze medal at the Junior Grand Prix Final and seemed headed for success. But the following year an eating disorder changed everything. Suzuki lost so much weight she was unable to jump, and another year would pass before she regained the weight she had lost.
In 2004 she bounced back, inspired by Shizuka Arakawa's win at the World Championships that year.

A day after his team's 26-16 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick isn't too happy with a former player. According to Boston.com on Jan. 20, Belichick offered his opinion on a play by Broncos receiver Wes Welker that knocked Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib out of the game.
The play in question came in the second quarter with the Broncos just leading 3-0. With the ball back at their own 19, Demaryius Thomas led Talib across the middle where the former Patriots' receiver leveled him. The play knocked Talib out of the game with a knee injury and for the second straight year in the AFC Championship Game, the Patriots found themselves without their best cover corner.
Belichick, after getting a better look at the play, called it "one of the worst plays I've seen."
The play changed the course of the game as Thomas became basically unstoppable. Belichick's dismay over the play will of course cause the rest of the league to call him a sore loser, but the Patriots coach was more upset about Talib missing the rest of the game because of it.
"I feel badly for Aqib, the way that play turned out. I went back and watched it, which I didn't have a chance to [Sunday], it was a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib."
In a physical game, there were questionable plays by both sides. But did Welker finally stick it to his former coach? The results say yes. But was taking out Talib intentional? Welker of course denied that it was.
"It was one of those plays; it was kind of a rub play and I was trying to get him to go over the top and I think he was thinking the same thing and wanted to come underneath, and you know just kind of collided."
Belichick disagrees; saying that Welker made no attempt to get open and that he will leave it to the league to handle any discipline.
As Bill Belichick and Wes Welker have no love lost between one another, this will certainly add to their strenuous relationship both on and off the field.

Gabrielle Union, 41, appeared on "Live with Kelly and Michael" daytime talk show on Jan. 7 to promote the new series "Being Mary Jane" that returns on BET on Jan. 7 at 10 p.m.
"Being Mary Jane" is an American drama television series created by Mara Brock Akil and starring Union as Mary Jane Paul.
The pilot for the series aired on July 2, 2013. It received so many positive reviews from critics that BET renewed "Being Mary Jane" on Sept. 12, 2013, for a second season even before the first season premiered.
The first season had more than 4 million viewers who are expected to watch eight more episodes when the show returns.
"Being Mary Jane" was originally to be called" Single Black Female." The story line centers around a successful talk show host named Mary Jane Paul, played by Union. Viewers watch Mary Jane as she searches for "Mr. Right" while taking care of her professional and private family life.
Did you know Union came very close to being Olivia Pope on the hit series Scandal? Union said when she didn't get the part, she wasn't upset because she knew something else significant would come along. She was right.

At 2300 M Street NW in downtown DC the German Embassy this morning at 8 a.m. (temporarily shacking up in the former office space of the European Union embassy, which just moved) has been evacuated for "funny smells." Firetrucks and police have several blocks closed between 23rd and 24th and M and N Streets.
Harry Reid lives adjacent at the Ritz-Carlton condos (1155 23rd), so maybe that's the source of the odor.

On April 17, fathers and mothers were invited with their children to Calloway's Nursery at 1601 Dallas Drive in Denton (Northwest of Golden Triangle Mall) to celebrate Earth Day 2010 by learning about planting.
Children from ages 5-12 planted seeds and plants in tin cans, focusing on Earth-friendly planting techniques. Adults took part in a free "Earth-Kind" clinic, that demonstrated ways to lower energy costs with trees and ways to manage soil and pests naturally. Calloway's also held hourly drawings for those signing up for their gardening club.
Kimberly Bird, vice president of retail marketing for Calloway's and Cornelius Nursery commented,
"As industry gardening leaders, we at Calloway's and Cornelius, feel a tremendous responsibility to share and educate the community on earth-friendly gardening techniques. We also want learning to be fun and easy for all gardeners, and we believe this event will offer just that – education, information and fun!"
If you missed out on the Earth Day celebration, dads, you can still enroll your children in Callie's Kids, a summer gardening education program at all Calloway's locations.
From the press release about Callie's Kids:
"In June children will learn about butterflies and participate in tin can tomato planting. Children should bring an empty tin can. All other supplies will be provided so they can decorate the can and plant tomato seeds. In July children will have the opportunity to plant grass seeds in a plastic cup and then decorate the cup. Later in the month they can learn about birds native to Texas and make cardboard binoculars to scope out birds. Children should bring an empty cardboard roll. In August the Callie's Kids Program will focus on trees unique to Texas and summer blooming flowers. Children are encouraged to bring an empty egg carton. All of these learning opportunities are free to the public. Children who participate will learn ways they can help the earth and can take his or her finished craft home."
Below is the schedule for Callie's Kids:
June 2-Beautiful Butterflies
June 16-Tin Can Tomato Planting
July 7-Talking Plant Pals
July 21-Feathered Friends in the Garden
August 4-Texas' Mighty Trees
August 18-Eggscellent Flowers
All sessions will take place from 9:30-10:30 AM at every Calloway's location.
Whether you take your children to Callie's Kids or plant trees for Earth Day, get out and play in the dirt with your kids this spring and summer. The family that plays together, stays together.

These sushi rolls are great a finger food, side or even main course. They're healthy, versatile and can be made with any veggies you like. Kids have fun making them.
What You Need:
(Makes: 42 rolls)
2 cups of sushi rice, rinsed and drained
2 cups of water
1/4 cup of rice vinegar
2 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
7 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
Bamboo sushi mat
7 nori sheets (dried seaweed)
1 small cucumber, julienned
1 small carrot, julienned
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and julienned (optional)
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup of julienned daikon radish
Regular or reduced-sodium soy sauce
Prepared wasabi
What to Do:
STEP 1) In a large saucepan, combine the rice and water; let stand for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from the heat. Let rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
STEP 2) Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
STEP 3) Transfer the rice to a large shallow bowl; drizzle with vinegar mixture. With a wooden paddle or spoon, stir rice with a slicing motion to cool slightly. Cover with a damp cloth to keep moist. (Rice mixture may be made up to 6 hours ahead and stored at room temperature, covered with a damp towel. Do not refrigerate.)
STEP 4) Place the asparagus in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 3 to 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; set aside.
STEP 5) Place sushi mat on a work surface so mat rolls away from you; line with plastic wrap. Place 2/3 cup rice on plastic; with moistened fingers, press rice into an 8 inch square. Top with one nori sheet.
STEP 6) Arrange a small amount of vegetables and avocado about 1 & 1/2 inches from bottom edge of nori sheet. Lifting the bottom edge of the bamboo mat, roll up the rice mixture jelly-roll style, being sure to lift plastic from rice. Roll bamboo mat over sushi roll, pressing firmly, to make a more compact roll. When the roll is complete, tighten the roll to make more compact. Remove mat; cover roll and set aside. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make seven rolls. Cut each into six pieces. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
STEP 7) Enjoy!
Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

- The Difference Between Fair Market Value and Balance Sheet Value
- How to File as Married Head of Household
- Method for Placing the Value of Stock Gifts to Charity
- How to Donate Stock With Unrealized Loss
- Condo Depreciation Fair Value vs. Assessed Value
You can determine your fair market value of a household item by using one of several item valuation methods. If you donate household items to charity, you'll value your items using guidelines that are accepted by the Internal Revenue Service. However, you'll use a different method if you're preparing household items for sale, reporting casualties or thefts, or simply satisfying your own general curiosity.
General Fair Market ValuesStep 1
Make a list of the household items you wish to value. Include any information that may help value your item, such as its condition, any serial numbers, signatures or hallmarks, and make or model names.
Use Internet market websites to value common household items. Sites such as eBay, craigslist and national retailers list current retail prices for virtually any common item. Prices on these sites represent what the average consumer is willing to pay for the same item. When possible, search for an exact match for your item. In some cases, this may not be possible, so look for prices on similar items that have the same wear-and-tear and features.
Use appraisers to value collectibles, antiques and jewelry. The fair market value of valuable household items typically appreciates over time and may be worth more at present value than at initial purchase. Use an appraiser from a national organization such as the Appraisal Institute and the American Society of Appraisers. Members of these groups have demonstrated knowledge and expertise in specific areas and are bound by specific codes of conduct and ethical responsibility.
Fair Market Value of DonationsStep 1
Make a list of all household items you donated. You can deduct the fair market value of your donations when the items are in good, usable condition.
Download a donation value guide from a national charity that accepts household item donations. The Salvation Army, Goodwill Industries and ARC Thrift Store websites all provide this type of guide.
Locate each type of household item you donated on the value guide list. You'll see a range of acceptable values for each type of item. If an item was in good condition, choose a value at the lower end of the range. If an item was in excellent or like-new condition; or was a high-end product, choose a value from the higher end of the range.

Lighting is a big deal in any home. Aside from the practical purposes of keeping things bright, lighting also adds to your home's decor and says a lot about your personality. At Pottery Barn, there are numerous lighting options so you can bring your own design touches to every room in your home.
Chandeliers add elegance to any room and are a typical choice for large living and dining rooms. Traditional crystal or glass chandeliers glitter on the ceiling over a carefully set dining room table, drawing guests' attention upward to the ceiling. Contemporary designs often feature unusual shapes and materials that stand out. Consider hanging a smaller chandelier in an unexpected place, like a hallway or large master bath, to bring some sophistication to other areas of your home.
Pendant lighting has an eclectic look that allows you to go retro or a little funky and offbeat. Group some lights in different shapes and sizes over a table or bring a rustic touch to the space with some hanging mason jars. Glass decanter pendants recall the past, while iron and metal pendants with candle-like lights provide a contemporary feel. When the holidays approach, incorporate the pendants into your decorating and tie ribbons and bows to their poles.
Floor lamps fit easily in corners and let you brighten up a dark area in any room. Available in different bases and shades, you can mix and match to create the style you want. For your tabletops, choose from a large selection of table lamps that come in a variety of styles. Select lighting options that give your home the look and feel that you want.

Well, we're seeing hints of summer here in lower Delaware, and you know what that means: Festina Peche season is coming up quick. Which also means the release of the second Marq Spusta print in this years original art print collection. There will be 4 total, one for each of our Seasonal brews. This time around, to try and make things a little more fair for all, we are going to hold a lottery for the prints. We have 40 available for sale at $50.00 each. We will take names for 1 week, starting today and ending May 7th, and then pick 40 names out of a hat. These 40 folks will be the 40 who can then purchase the prints. One print per customer. Each print will come in a tube rolled with craft paper.
*Note* The lottery ended on Friday May 7th, 2010. We will let you know if your name was picked on or around May 10th, 2010. Thanks!

The surf's always up somewhere – endless summer and all that. But even if it's winter where you are, the cold season can be a great time to heat up the garage and get going on that car customization project that's been on the back burner far too long.
Maybe the Jimmy'Z Mini Cooper will provide inspiration. It's an on-going project car commissioned by Aeropostale, the clothing store chain that acquired and has resurrected Jimmy'Z, a surf wear brand that was popular in the 1980s and has been transformed for the 21st Century into a line of funky, irreverent and "Hollywood inspired" clothes for the young trendsetter.
"Back in the day," it says on the car's spec sheet, Jimmy'Z had a woody wagon that "stood for California cool, individuality; a life spent looking for the next great wave. With a wink and a nod to the past, the Jimmy'Z Mini Cooper Woody embodies that independent spirit."
New York City-based Aeropostale turned to resident car guy and in-house graphic designer Alex Zartman to work with Leonard Lopez of Dominator Street Rods of Brentwood, Calif., on the wood-clad Mini. They brought in concept artist Joe Iacono, who also did the Airborne Mini, to turn a revitalized icon – the Mini – into a revitalized Jimmy'Z Woody.
Doug Carr's Wood N' Carr created the white ash body trim. Valentin Shmidov of Pravda Surf built the board that rides atop the car. DuPont Hot Hues created the special Jimmy'Z Orange paint, with Mike Martin doing the paintwork and Rick Valdez of Creative Images adding airbrush art effects such as the flames on the car's hood and front fenders. That same orange hue is used in the custom interior by Blind Stitch.
Budnik Wheels incorporated the same shade into the car's custom and BFGoodrich-wrapped rims. H&R Springs provided the lowered suspension hardware,
That's how the car appeared at the recent aftermarket exposition, aka the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show. But like most every customization effort, this is an on-going project, so work was scheduled after the show to install a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust and an Arc Audio system.
Your pockets may not be as deep as national clothing chain's, but lowered suspension, cat-back exhaust, special wheels, high-performance tires and even a custom paint job and audio system not only should warm your thoughts, but likely are within your reach as well.

Update 18/12/10: This planned maintenance has now been postponed due to cable works in Telehouse North not yet being completed. This maintenance will not take place Friday 7th January between 00.00 and 02.00.
· Internet Transit - Some minor disruption maybe experienced when we administratively disable transit providers at THN. Internet transit will still be available through our POP's in Global Switch (London) and Telecity (Manchester), although this service will be deemed "at risk" until the maintenance has been completed.
· Private Interconnects at THN – Customers with private interconnect to our existing POPs at THN (TFM7 & TFM10) will experience a disruption to services during the maintenance work. These customers will be notified directly by end of business on Friday 3rd December.
· MPLS Network – Services utilising our core MPLS network will not be affected by this maintenance, however some resiliency will be lost during the work therefore services will be deemed "at risk" until the maintenance has been complete.

If you have any problems with your connection after this time, or if you have any questions regarding the maintenance at any point, please call Technical Support at 0845 413 3800 or visit http://servercentre.net/support

Hi all
Been a while since I have been on here. I'm afraid business commitments have severely curtailed all things audio and the turntable has become a complete ornament. As attractive as the turntable is to look at, I am concentrating on digital for the foreseeable and therefore am offering my Avid Diva Mk 1 including OL rewired RB250 for sale.
The turntable is in immaculate condition and was serviced by the local dealer just over a year ago, when it was fitted with the tonearm. Since then, it would have been used for a few hours in total. I have all the packaging as would be expected.
I can supply images to serious buyers and am open to sensible offers. These do not come to the market very often, so don't miss this one!

SALEWA Tents Launched in the UKadded Feb/2014, see all Salewa news & reviews
announcement by Salewa
For Spring / Summer 2014 SALEWA tents are available exclusively in the UK from Tiso. For more information visit www.tiso.com or www.salewa.com
Thanks to the Zoom technology this versatlie expedition tent is perfect for basecamp or high altitude.
The geodetic construction and ventilation system of our highly breathable single wall tent guarantees the best moisture transfer and circulation of fresh air. The tent has two vents and two removable vestibules, one for dressing, one provides extra space for your equipment. The highly resistent fabric that we use on this tent is composed by fibers that are fifteen times stronger than steel. The tent is extremely wind resistant and doesn't need much space to set up, perfect for stormy conditions and small platforms.
The Zoom technology allows adjustment between more space or a lower profile. The technology used in Zoom makes it possible to increase the wind resistance of the tent by reducing the exposed profile. The tent can be adjusted to a wider range of situations without any significant increase of weight. This technology follows the main trend of alpine design - lightweight and strong construction. Designed for expeditions without fixed ropes, without porters and perfectly suited to all high mountain camps, as well as for Alpine style trips or your next climbing tour. This versatility makes the tent unique and useable in nearly all conditions.
Ultralight and compact - the Alpine Pitch is designed to help you in all emergency situations or as a stop over platform in the vertical world. Its 90 degree backwall fits to all rock structure and can be set up within seconds on the smallest plattforms.
The Essence UL tents are UItra-lightweight trekking and backpacking tents designed with Alpine inspired expedition features. The use of Lotus Shield Single Wall non-membrane waterproof fabric along with an extremely large ventilation zip with insect mesh for protection provides low weight with high levels of climate control and comfort. The large vestibule is perfect for cooking and gear storage.
The Alpine Trek combines excellent stability and minimal weight - it has the same structural design and features as the expedition tents. Nevertheless, the weight is designed to meet the requirements of a trekking tour. Thanks to the double wall construction, the trek offers an optimal ratio between ventilation and insulation and the two vestibules offer enough storage space for all your camping needs.
A long-time best seller in the SALEWA tent range. A unique two pole design with two crossings increase headroom, but keep the groundsheet small. One huge rainproof entrance with two sliders form an additional ventilation when you need it, usable from the innertent. Two side ventilations let the air flow and effectively reduce the condensation inside the tent. Big enough for two preson lightweight trips, or a very comfy tent for long-range solo adventures.
For Spring / Summer 2014 SALEWA tents are available exclusively in the UK from Tiso. For more information visit www.tiso.com or www.salewa.com

Date: October 04 2012
In January, I learnt I had the same cancer that killed Steve Jobs: a tumour that cannot be cured by drugs, by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. If it had spread I had only a 30 per cent chance of surviving to see my younger daughter Alethea's first day at school.
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs, also known as carcinoid tumours) are rare, so treatment for them has not advanced as it has done for common cancers such as breast and bowel cancer. My consultant could advocate only surgery, and hope he had caught it early enough.
What I didn't know then was that there is a potential treatment for this type of cancer, languishing in a deep freeze in Sweden: a so-called ''cancer-eating virus''. Yet it seems the treatment may never see the light of day. Writer Alexander Masters reported in a recent article that researchers have been unable to raise the paltry £2 million ($3 million) needed to take the treatment to clinical trials.
The thought that out there is something that could be investigated for a couple of millions is difficult to come to terms with. I emailed Masters, to thank him for uncovering this story and, who knows, perhaps inspiring someone to come forward and fund the research. But I want to do more.
In my day-to-day job as a communications specialist, I tell other people's stories, not my own. So it feels uncomfortable to write about myself and my family on such a personal and emotional level. But so little is known about NETs, so little has been invested in research, that I've decided to go public about my experience, in the hope of raising awareness, and maybe continuing what Alexander Masters started.
Before that new year encounter at St George's Hospital in south-west London, I was a relatively fit 44-year-old man, whose type 1 diabetes (which I developed as a teenager), had never held back my career flying in and out of war zones for international aid agencies.
Then, the week before Christmas, I developed a sharp pain in my lower stomach. My wife, Glenda, (who, armed with Google and a fertile imagination, is always diagnosing rare ailments) nagged me to see our GP. I went, just to keep the peace, and was rushed into hospital to have my appendix out.
The next day my surgeon told me that, surprisingly, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the excised appendix and I was discharged, still drunk from the anaesthetic and in pain, but armed with a sick note that would get me off washing-up duty over Christmas. There was nothing to suggest that my follow-up appointment in January was anything other than routine and so I went along to the hospital on my own. But I was harbouring a nagging doubt - and I wasn't wrong. My consultant, Robert Hagger, told me they had found a 12-millimetre tumour on my appendix.
''So, I have to tell my wife I have cancer?'' I asked.
He said that, technically, it wasn't called a cancer but a neuroendocrine tumour. I can see his face now. Professional, calm, caring and concerned. Even then, drowning in fear and confusion, I liked and trusted Mr Hagger.
''But it is a tumour?'' I asked. ''And it spreads? And it might kill me? Forgive me, but I'm going to call it cancer. So what's the treatment?''
That was when Mr Hagger had to explain there was very little that could be done.
NET is the umbrella term for a group of unusual tumours that develop from the neuroendocrine cells that are responsible for the production of hormones such as adrenalin, insulin and serotonin. NETs can be benign or malignant. They may also release hormones but in an uncontrolled way.
Mr Hagger explained that once a NET has spread, it is called cancer. (It continues to be a technical nicety that passes me by. The subtleties of the terminology won't save my life.) NETs are so rare that even big teaching hospitals only examine a few cases annually.
NETs can develop all around the body including in the lungs, the pancreas and the bowel, and this causes confusion. A NET in the bowel isn't bowel cancer. In the case of Steve Jobs, it was widely reported he had a form of pancreatic cancer, for which the prognosis is often poor. But he actually had a NET in his pancreas. The prognosis for this is much better - if you have surgery early. However, it has been reported Jobs's surgery was delayed and, if true, this may have contributed to his death at 56. This remains a matter of conjecture because he never spoke about his illness in detail.
My surgeon recommended a right hemicolectomy, an operation to remove a section of my colon where the nearest set of lymph nodes to the original tumour was situated. Lymph nodes, located all over the body, are an important part of our immune system. They also act as jumping-off points for cancer cells to spread from a primary site.
Mr Hagger explained it like this: ''I look at lymph nodes as being filters of disease. If you have a sore throat, the lymph nodes in your neck swell in response to the infection as the microbes are filtered through them. Lymph nodes 'straining' disease and infections out from a particular part of a body may be a site where cancer cells can lodge.'' So, lymph nodes ''catch'' the cancers and harbour them while they grow and spread.
He said he hoped that he'd find no disease in my lymph nodes; there were rarely any side effects from the operation, that I wouldn't need a colostomy and I'd be out of hospital in six days. In the meantime, I'd have regular CT scans, and urine and blood tests. NETs can produce hormones in the blood so a rise in the levels of certain hormonal byproducts, as they break down, can also be an indication of spreading.
It was then Mr Hagger spelt out the statistics. If there was no spread to the lymph nodes, I had a 90 per cent chance of surviving five years. If it has spread to the lymph nodes then that falls to 80 per cent. If it has spread further, I had a 30 per cent chance.
Somehow I found myself outside the Macmillan cancer counselling office in London's St George's Hospital. I remember thinking: I feel sorry for the people who have to go in there; they have cancer. Then I remembered: so did I.
A kind woman with a gentle voice asked me if I was OK. I wanted to fall at her feet and howl in pain. But I didn't want to make a scene. ''Yes, thanks, I'm just looking for the loo,'' I muttered.
I've worked in refugee camps across the world. My job is to convey to others what is happening to people in the extremes of despair. At the time I was working for the charity World Vision, where I dealt with stories about starving and abused children. Yet during that five-minute walk from St George's Hospital to my home in Tooting I had no idea what I was going to say to my wife.
I was angry. My father, an alcoholic, had never been around much when I was a child. I vowed that if I had children, I would never leave them. Having a family was a decision considered very carefully. I wanted to be a good father, a strong presence who was always there for them. Now, I was faced with the real possibility that I could be torn away from them - with no control, no choice. This was not how I'd planned it.
Faith, 3, and Alethea, who had just turned one, were belting around the kitchen, immersed in one of their interminable play races as I stood by the fridge and tried to put into words what had just happened. I couldn't.
Glenda had to ask me several times before it became clear what I was trying to say. ''So is it cancer?'' she asked repeatedly. Then we put the girls to bed, cried, drank wine and ate all the chocolate we could find. Life-changing moments can be mundane like that.
In those first days I couldn't look at my daughters as they laughed and played, oblivious. I was consumed with the fear that I might soon desert them. I felt I was about to betray them.
Since then, my world has been turned upside down: it is a world of blood tests, urine tests, CT scans and a painful operation in February, in which 17 lymph nodes were removed. Further tests showed that the cancer had spread. Bad news. But I had done my own research and discovered, thanks to Lisa, a friend who works, coincidentally, as an oncology nurse specialising in NETs at another hospital in London, that there is a specific and highly sensitive test for NETs. It is called an octreotide scan, a three-day extravaganza in which they inject you with a radioactive chemical that is absorbed by the NET. It complements the standard CT scan because it can highlight some - not all - NETs when they are still too small to be detected by other tests. Therefore, allowing those NETs to be removed before they take hold.
The team at St George's Hospital considered I'd had sufficient radiological scanning but, to their credit, they immediately agreed to let me have this second scan when I asked for it. It came up clear.
I had another scan this week. This will be my life for the next five years: every time a scan is clear my chances look a little better, but until the five years pass, I can't be sure. There is no good news in this business. I have a scan and the best I can expect is a ''no cancer yet'' result. The sword of Damocles still hangs over me. Cancer patients are never clear; they just aren't dead yet.
Seeing Mr Hagger is always a bitter-sweet experience. He's a great guy and I feel privileged to be treated by him. Each time he tells me I'm clear, I feel happy. Yet, each time I walk in, I know I may hear I'm about to die.
When I read about the Swedish virus I tried to keep calm. It's hope that can be the hardest to bear. Yet, maybe, there is a treatment, even a cure, waiting for me - for all of us. Maybe the Swedish magicians will make this all go away for me, for Glenda and my girls.
Despite it all, here's the thing: I feel lucky. Lucky to have met Mr Hagger. Lucky to be married to Glenda, for the love with which she surrounds me. But I also feel lucky because of the sheer randomness of events. I randomly had a stomach ache - Mr Hagger told me that the tumour would not have caused my stomach pain - and my wife persuaded me to see the doctor. I randomly had my appendix out and they found a tumour. I randomly have a friend who specialises in NETs and who told me about this specialist scan, and I managed to get that scan.
At the moment I feel bulletproof. You may say I'm in denial, and I guess I am. One day, though, my luck may run out. If you ask me then - at the moment I was told my tumour had spread - would I opt to take the untested virus myself? Would I risk it all for the chance to see my daughters go to school and to hold my wife's hand as we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, instead of forcing them to watch me die, tubed up and in pain? Hell, yes!

Hello all. I registered for the forum a little while ago but have mostely just lurked since.
I'm a NJ resident and have only become a gun owner recently. Both open and concealed carry are currently illegal(essentially) in New Jersey, but I still find concealed carry discussions interesting.
I've already learned a lot from the tactical thinking & scenario assesment that goes along with the decision to carry. Much of the methodology seems viable and/or helpful, even in the absence of a firearm on my person.

Simon Jenkins in Friday's Guardian launched an attack on the new crime maps website Theresa May unveiled last week. The article is worth a read for the full broadside – but its essence is that it's based on meaningless statistics, it's typical of central government's intrusive thirst for information, and doesn't actually achieve anything.
I think this misses the point.
Projects that release public service information aren't about government hoarding data: they're about opening it up. If I can access statistics that allow me to make meaningful assessments about crime levels, education provision, or hospital performance in my area – all the things that matter most – then that's a good thing.
It's an echo of the 'post-bureaucratic' age. This is an ugly and short-lived phrase, but a good and powerful idea – that information about services empowers the people that have to use them. Looking back at pre-election articles or speeches, there's some interesting thinking about the role of information in accountability, and the potential to create the responsiveness to users that markets are based on, but public services have traditionally escaped.
Not all information is useful, not all government material will be appropriate for release, and better information isn't in itself going to improve services. Police.uk isn't perfect: crime statistics certainly need to be presented with appropriate warnings about their accuracy, and it's arguably better for departments to release raw data for data-geeks to process and visualise, than for Whitehall to choose how to present the information.
But the general principle is sound: the more we know about how our public services are performing, the better.
