A variety of chemotherapy drugs may be used to treat your leukemia. They are designed to prevent replication of the abnormal cells and to reduce their numbers. Chemotherapy drugs can also produce side effects such as anemia, diarrhea, and low white cell counts that may leave you susceptible to infection. The number of chemotherapy drugs, most often given intravenously, is too great to list individually. You should discuss with your doctor what drugs you are receiving and what the side effects are likely to be.
Your doctor may prescribe this drug to help stimulate the production of normal white blood cells. This will help reduce your risk of infection and may help you tolerate larger doses of chemotherapy as a result
This drug is a duplicate of a hormone that naturally stimulates the production of red cells by the bone marrow. Your physician may prescribe it to improve your red cell counts, reducing anemia and the symptoms of fatigue that it produces.
Imatinib mesylate is a new drug used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia. It reduces the number of cancer cells in the blood and bone marrow. It is taken by mouth.
Possible side effects include:
Nilotinib is used to treat CML and Philadelphia chromosome positive ALL in patients who can't take other drugs or who are resistant to them. It blocks signals from the cells which blocks cancer from growing. It is taken by mouth twice a day.
Possible side effects include:
Dasatinib is used to treat Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive patients, ALL in patients who can't take other drugs or who are resistant to them. It interferes with pathways that are used to grow cancer cells. It is taken by mouth twice a day.
Infertility and premature menopause may occur with drugs ordered to treat leukemia. If fertility is a concern, talk to your doctor about storing sperm or eggs before starting therapy.
Whenever you are taking a prescription medication, take the following precautions:

SAN FRANCISCO -- So memorable is Gregor Blanco's season with the glove that neither of his spectacular catches in Game 1 of the World Series could crack his personal top spot.
"Oh, I think the perfect game was the best," Blanco said after the Giants' 8-3 victory Wednesday.
Still, these weren't too shabby. The left fielder robbed Miguel Cabrera in the third inning and Prince Fielder in the sixth, each time making a sensational diving grab of a sinking liner to keep the Tigers from getting rolling.
There are a few skid marks in the AT&T Park left-field turf to prove it.
"Just incredible," said Giants starter Barry Zito, who was on the mound for both catches.
The two gems continued the Giants' trend of eye-popping outfield defense during the postseason, even though nothing has matched the one Blanco made to preserve Matt Cain's place in history on June 13.
"That one catch he made in Cain's perfect game we'll always remember," manager Bruce Bochy said. "But he's done that all year. He's made great plays out there. He gets a good jump on the ball and throws well. He's just a gifted outfielder."
In the third inning of Game 1, with two out and speedster Austin Jackson on first base, Cabrera blasted a low liner to left field. That's when Blanco had a conversation in his head.
"I just said to myself, 'We cannot let them start a rally,' " Blanco recalled. "They have great hitters and if you let them get something going, their offense is going to be trouble for us."
Instead Blanco surged from a dead sprint and snatched the ball inches before it struck the turf. As Blanco knew, the ball would have rolled all the way to the wall if he had missed it.
"I always think about the risk and the situation and the hitters," he said. "The next batter up was going to be Prince. So if that ball drops right there, they can start a rally."
Fielder suffered a similar fate in the sixth. Cabrera was at first after a run-scoring single. The Tigers, down 6-1 with more big boppers coming up, had thoughts of a big inning. But when Fielder smashed a searing drive to left, he hit it toward the wrong guy.
"The ball that Prince hit had some funky spin on it, and that's what made the catch so impressive," Zito said. "Not only did he dive, but he had to stay with the path of that ball.
"Blanco is just -- he's such a huge part of this team in every way."
Blanco is still too often known as the man who replaced suspended outfielder Melky Cabrera. But he's finding a way to make his own imprint -- whether it's in the box score or in the turf.
"I know every day I have to contribute with my glove or with my bat," he said. "Today was my glove."

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a bill that would restrict how much health benefit plans can charge for certain cancer treatments.
Oklahoma City Republican Sen. Greg Treat introduced the bill, which was approved without opposition Wednesday and now heads to the full Senate.
The bill would say that health benefit plans couldn't place any additional costs or requirements for covering orally administered cancer medications that they don't also require for any other injected or intravenous drugs. The bill says a health plan is following the bill's rules if the costs per prescription are kept at less than $100.

- O yea!This is the best sight I have ever bought, by far. It is so easy to focus through this sight and is powered by AAA's, not hard to find Lithium. Anyways some people might say it's not worth the price; believe me if you have this you will love it. This is the same type of sights used on m4's in the military. Also on some levels in call of duty 4 you have this sight. This kind of sight is called hollow sights and they can't be beat. This sight is the systema of Sights. Systema is the best and this is the best. it's a fact.
That's it>
- HOLY CRAP!This sight is amazing! I have used it, but i don't own it. This thing is crazy! I can use red or green - red for day, green for night - and i can adjust the brightness.
AAAs are easy and cheap
BDC is AWESOME!
Red or green
Brightness adjustable
Strongly mounts to Weaver (that means it won't fall off)
Easy to adjust
No eye strain like some other sights
Get it for your best gun, you will never regret it (that is unless you run out of money)! So if you have the money then get it.
- must havepretty spot on...almost as good as the real EOtech sight and at a very good price...holds it's zero even with the recoil of the 5.56x45 ammo.
- EoTechYou guys say that the price on this is bad, but really it's amazing. I'm buying it for My AR 15. Compared to EoTech sights that are 300 to 400 bucks, the price for this is great since it's pretty much the same thing.
- Holo Sight.It's one decked out sight and I love the BDC. Fits really tight and no wobble worry. And just for those that are crazy about the Eotech stuff, the only thing that makes them expensive is they make them EMP(Electromagnetic Pulse) bomb proof. And I don't think we're going to get nuked, so just go with this.
- AMAZINGThis sight was awesome, the reticle was clear and you had the option of green or read. I would recommend that you buy a riser if you don't have flip of sights because the front sight might get in the way.
Reticle red and green
Very accurate
not much at all, the only part i did not like were that i could not get the quick release on and more on the instructions please.

Biomass conversion could open 295bn US-$ market by 2030
Geneva – Conversion of biomass to biofuels, chemicals, energy and heat has the potential to create a US$295 bn market by the year 2030 and create 800,000 new jobs, according to a report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The report, published in co-operation with the industrial biotechnology companies Royal DSM, Novozymes, the chemical corporation DuPont and the plastics manufacturer Braskem, sees huge potential particularly in building biorefineries that convert renewable resources carbon dioxide neutrally into energy, biofuels, chemicals and bioplastics. The report "The Future of Industrial Biorefinieries" estimates that creation of a biomass value chain can generate revenues of US$15m for agricultural inputs, US$89bn for biomass production, US-$30 for biomass trading, US-$ 10bn for berefining inputs, US-$ 80 bn for fermentation of biofuels, US$6bn for bioplastic production, and US$65bn for biomass-based power and heat. However, the report also says that high investment and infrastructure costs as well as restricted availability of biomass could hamper biomass conversion to become a commercial success at the industry scale. On the other side, biorefineries have the potential to reshape today's industrial landscape." We are at the doorstep of a transition to a greener, more sustainable future, with the bio-based economy as the key enabler" commented Feike Sijbesma, CEO of DSM, the world leader in fermentative biomass conversion. The report confirms he need for biomass replacement that comes at oil's low prices but without the high cost." Said Stehen Rijsgaard, CEO of Novozymes, the world champion in enzyme technology. Braskem is planning a production site in Brazil to produce biobased polyethylene at 200.000 metric tons per year. DuPont has produced the platform chemical 1,3 propane diol (PDO) on an industrial scale since 2006, while Novozymes has developed an enzyme cocktail for biofuel production from wood waste and grass.

I've been watching a fascinating series on the PBS NewsHour focusing on the challenges of autism. The series, entitled Autism Now, is hosted by former news anchor Robert McNeil who tells the story of his autistic grandson.

Earlier this week, a joint plan was outlined by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), where key strategies were developed that address preventing prescription drug abuse nationwide. A full outline of the plan can be found here.
As we've noted in previous blog posts, counterfeit medicines are becoming more prevalent around the world. Many foreign countries have been experiencing an influx of counterfeit drugs because they have a weaker regulatory regime compared to the U.S. and/or open drug supply system. In the U.S., however, our closed drug supply system has helped shield patients from the dangerous worldwide counterfeit medicines epidemic.
I admit that this blog post comes to you a few days late. As I read through coverage of PhRMA's annual meeting, this article in The Newark Star-Ledger caught my eye.
With PhRMA's annual meeting completed, everyone here is getting back into their more normal routines. So, I thought I'd start the week talking about a piece in today's New York Times Health Section.
An interview with The Catalyst and Orexigen CEO Mike Narachi
1. Talk about what it is for a company like Orexigen to become a member of PhRMA?
We're obviously excited because our goals align so closely with those of PhRMA. As a small company with a late-stage product, we understand the importance of creating an environment that fosters innovation, and becoming a member of PhRMA -- a group that has made innovation such a priority -- was a natural fit.
Day Two
[10:05 a.m.]
Two Women Scientists Honored with PhRMA's 2011 Discoverers Award
There are a lot of interesting discussions and events during PhRMA's Annual Meeting, but one regular event is always special. That is the annual awarding of PhRMA's Discoverers Award.
This is a guest post from Brian Reid, Director at WCG.
Judging from the agenda, the PhRMA Annual Meeting was about leaders: yesterday's Session started with an introduction by PhRMA chairman and sanofi-aventis CEO Chris Viehbacher, followed by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and others. All spoke about the importance of investment and the need to have clear, thoughtful regulation to nurture that innovation.
[11:00 a.m.] At the PhRMA Annual Meeting, we set up a "listening gallery," a wall on which participants were invited to share their thoughts on what innovation truly is.
Here are a few samples.
Innovation is:
Often on The Catalyst, Grady and I refer our readers to the PhRMA Chart Pack, a great source of information about the biopharmaceutical research sector.
Today, in conjunction with this week's annual meeting, we're releasing some additional useful material - PhRMA's annual industry profile.
Below, we sat down with Marc Boutin, executive vice president and COO of the National Health Council, for his thoughts on the PhRMA annual meeting.
1. Tell us a bit more about your background and role at the National Health Council.
In launching this blog earlier this year, we said that our goal would be to create a place to share ideas, provide the perspective of America's biopharmaceutical companies and, most importantly, listen to you and learn together. Now, as we approach our annual meeting, beginning Thursday, we think it's the perfect time and place to create opportunities for members of our community to be an active part of the conversation.
Below, we sat down with Ellen Sigal, chairperson and founder of Friends of Cancer Research, for her thoughts about the upcoming PhRMA annual meeting.
1. What message are you bringing to the PhRMA annual meeting?
Later this week, PhRMA will be conducting our 2011 Annual Meeting, convening stakeholders from across the spectrums of healthcare, policy and regulation. Here, I speak with sanofi-aventis CEO Chris Viehbacher - who also serves as the chairman of PhRMA's board, about one of his priority issues for the meeting.
Can you tell us more about why prevention is one of the three themes of this year's PhRMA Annual Meeting?

There's a team at Grand Ledge High School that has 80 students involved, placed fourth in the state tournament, and is headed to nationals...and it's definitely not the football team.
"I went right to the superintendent and said... we need an archery team. And he said great, let's do it," said Kelly Shaltry, head archery coach & social studies teacher.
And that was less than a year ago. The program is in its first season, but these kids have picked up the sport quickly.
"I didn't really know that many people would come out and try it. There are a lot of people who haven't had any experience at all with it. And they're just coming out for a first time thing," said senior Matt Beatty.
That's what Coach Kelly Shaltry hoped for...
"Archery is just such an all encompassing group of kids because anyone can do it," said Shaltry.
He wanted to bring a sport to Grand Ledge that was accessible to everyone, from the tallest member at six foot five, to the smallest at little over four feet.
And the kids haven't just had fun. They've been good at it and feel a sense of accomplishment.
"My brother isn't special needs like I am. I've always had to go to his sports games and stuff. And now it gives me a chance to be able to play a sport," said freshman Mackenzie Robins.
What sparked many of the students' interest?
"I read the hunger games, and all my friends are talking about it. So, I thought I might as well try it," said Robins.
Whatever brought them archery, most of these kids say they plan to stick with the sport throughout high school. And hope good scores at nationals will lead them to the world tournament in June.

WhooHoo, Stephanie! She's back!!! Ha, now you really get to work but so glad you're training. Hope you are enjoying it?
Deb, I lost ~30lbs about 15 yrs ago with WW and then 3 yrs ago dropped another 30 through portion control. I have the tools but worry about the impact. You bring up a good point, that there likely are books or articles on how to balance weight loss while actively running. Thanks. As it turns out, the weight is coming off so slowly, it can't possibly make a difference. I might be losing about 1/2 lb a week or I may have flushed that much water from my system. it's hard to tell. Love to celebrate but it's really easy to sweat away 2 lbs. water and then drink it back. Ughh! Hopefully I'll be able to stay on track for two more weeks and see real results - or not. Been doing this four weeks and getting very discouraged. Interestingly running setbacks have taught me to ignore doubts and trust the process.
It's stormy here right now. TM time. Run strong! Good luck to all!!!
Mary Kay
Running: Started 5/6/2011; Graduated C25k - 7/21/11; Graduated B210k - 11/24/11;
PRs: 5k - 36:42; 8k - 1:10; 4.15 m - 53.41; 10k - 1:18; HM - 2:56:31
I may be slow but I'm persistant.
Goals: 5k under 30 min.; HM under 2 hr.; AG award in the USAF HM! and one full marathon.
It won't be easy but it will be worth it!
Mike - congratulations on finishing despite the knee problem. I hope it's healing. Your time sounds pretty good, considering.
Linda - good luck tomorrow. Running on a fresh blister isn't easy. Hope you have fun anyway.
mkayc - good luck on the weight loss. I also lost most of my weight before I started running (45 lbs.) I thought running would help with the last 10, but in the past seven months I only lost 3. I hear you about the water yo-yo. I have stopped getting excited about an up or down of two pounds. The weight always goes back to status quo. When I got injured I put on two pounds the first week, but I seem to have lost it again, despite doing a lot more emotional eating than usual. (Ice cream makes the pain go away, for a while.) When I was running hard it was really hard for me to cut back much. I'm always hungry. I think the answer is to bulk up - eat more fruit and vegetables rather than beer and ice cream, but I tend to say to myself, "I ran 10 miles today, I deserve a treat." So the weight stays the same. Or maybe more protein, since that helps keep you feeling full longer.
Race report: I finished my first 10K! I don't know why I was so nervous - my long runs for hte last month were all around 7 miles so I knew I could do the distance. I think it was mostly adrenaline/excitement plus just not knowing the route. I know my training route backwards andn forwards. So I start off at the back of the pack - I'm trying to go slow. I'm letting people pass me. But I get to the first mile marker and I've just done my first ever 9 minute mile. That is waaaaaay too fast! I try to slow down but mile 2 is between 9-10 minutes. I walk at the first water station around 2.5 miles and I am sucking wind so hard I almost can't drink. But I keep going. Somewhere in the third mile a family who lives on the race route had a water station set up. The little boy looked to be about 3 is standing there holding out a dixie cup for me. So cute!!! I missed the 3 mile marker and lost all track of splits after that. I didn't use my gps and didn't listenn to mustic. It was just me and my thoughts. After running mile 3 so slowly I'm feeling much better by mile 4. Once I hit mile 5 I'm in the home stretch and feeling good enough to pick it up a little. I hit the chute at 1:05:29, but this is a very very fast group I'm running with. I am 108 out of 117. The last place runner came in arond 1:07!!
I must say this race came with a nice goody bag too: hat, t shirt, gloves, water bottle, bag of coffee, demi loaves of bread from a local bakery, and coupons to 2 different running stores. I need new shoes and now they will be 15% off. YAY!
Linda: I hope your half went as well as my 10K.
Mary Kay - let me know ifyou come across any good books on running nutrition. I did just get an ad from Runners World for I think it's called the Runner's Diet or something. I don't know anything about it, though. I agree with Ginny - the more I run the hungrier I get but I really want this last 10 pounds to go away. I'm so mad that I slacked off and gained them back and my summer shorts all feel a little snug. I need to start being good soon. Just not today - I've already had 2 slices of veggie pizza and a bag of M&M's (they were mint for goodness sake !) and I know I"m having bread with dinner tonight thanks to the Malden Rotary Road Race.
Happy Running all!!
Thanks for the well wishes everyone
The half went great, we finished under 2:45, waiting official results. It was a beautiful morning for a race, cool started out in the high 50's, tiny bit chilly at the start, was that soon was a memory. The hills everyone was talking about were killers, they ran from mile 5 to around mile 10. We walked up and ran down,some of them very steep. It seemed with all the walking I was not as tired as I usually am.
It was my daughters first half, and I am honored that she wanted to run it me.
So I have finished the toughest half in Texas!
Wow! Congrats to all of you who completed your half marathons! Awesome!
I purchased a GPS watch finally. I found a deal online for a Schwinn GPS watch with a heart monitor for $69.99. I read some reviews and it seemed that people were happy with the watch and that it worked. Now, I'm trying to figure it all out and how to work it. I tested it out last night by walking a short distance and figured it out somewhat and saved my data. But, today when I went for my 3 mile run, I could not see in the dark how to save my data and I lost everything! I did like that I set my laps and it beeped at me after each mile. The only thing is that the GPS miles didn't match up to what I have calculated around my neigbhorhood. I double checked this morning the distance on the Active Route Trainer on Active.com and ALSO on Mapmyrun.com. The GPS had me going an extra .15 miles longer. I'm a little discourage by this because this really won't give me an accurate pace or time for my mileage. Are other GPS's off that much? Now I'm wondering if I should just return it! Any thoughts or help?

Mike - what a great time considering your injury! That's fantastic that you powered through it.
MaryKay- Sorry wish I had the answer on weight loss. I am about 40 lbs above healthy. I've been tracking calories eaten every day on FitDay and (here's where it gets geeky) have a log of each day's total calories in a spreadsheet. Then I count calories burnt from running as well as any calories I burn from stationary bike (as a sort of incentive). I have a box where I tell it how many lbs I've lost so far (it says 1 right now for the math to work, but really it might be 0) and then it counts all my calories eaten and subtracts calories burned and tries to estimate what my basal metabolic rate might be. Point being I have averaged somewhere like 2,000 calories a day for the last month but have burnt about 6,000 calories through exercise. So obviously my BMR is less than 2,000. Also this whole thing proves that even when I'm tracking I still suffer significantly from willpower problems. So I don't know. Data so far though seems to prove I am perfectly ready to eat more to compensate for running more...
Deb- Way to go on your 10k! Incredibly fast. And love the home run water stand in the middle.
Linda- Fantastic job on your half. I think it's great you ran it with your daughter as well, that's so cool.
Kathy- Sorry I don't know the answer to that. I use a Garmin and it's been within .1 of my just hand plotting on mapmyrun. Though I don't consider mapmyrun to be that accurate. Maybe hang on to it for another run or two just to make sure it wasn't a one time thing?
Well I missed a whole week of running here due to work travel (was a lot of driving so even treadmill in hotel was not an option). Had a few dreams about running (guilt induced perhaps!) and felt bad even popping on here to see how you all were doing what with no running for me. Went out today for 4 miles just to give myself the confidence boost that I didn't lose a ton of fitness in one week and it went just fine. About as good as my last full week of running was going, so I can take that. Going to try to get back up to 17 miles for the week again this week which was where I was at before the week off. Travelling next week but no driving so just a matter of sucking it up and using the treadmill in the hotel if I don't feel comfortable going out around the neighborhood. Happy running everyone!

Hello everyone, I've been reading for some time, and decided to jump in, sorry if this first post is a little long, and please excuse my mistakes since English is not my native language.
I'm 32 years old, and started C25K in December. I've been about 7 kilos (15 pounds) overweight my whole life, and the main reason I started running was to lose those pounds. Well, that hasn't happened, but I still feel that starting to run was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I found C25K quite easy to follow, but after I finished I felt it was harder and harder to improve my running. It didn't help that the weather here in January and February was painfully hot. Still, I didn't give up.
I try to run 4 times a week, 3 to 5 kilometers each time, but I'm planning to increase the distance. I also do pilates, 2 or 3 times a week, I feel it's a great complement to running.
I signed up for my first 5K race, March 25th. It was race exclusive for women, and I knew it would be great for a first race because that race usually draws runners as well as joggers and even walkers, so it did't look intimidating at all.
The race itself was not easy, the day was a little too warm for my taste, and I had to walk a couple of times, though only for a few seconds. I sprinted when I saw the finish line (I don't know where I got the strength from!), and my time was 34:19. I wanted to do it in less than 35 minutes, so I was happy.
I've already signed up for my next race (I can already see this racing thing becoming addictive), a 6K on April 15th. My goal is to do it in 40 minutes or less.
Well, that's it for my introduction, I hope to continue participating in this forum, you all are a great source of inspiration and motivation, and reading you makes this journey feel less lonely .
Kathy - I've read several posts about people complaining that the distance on their gps was longer than the official race distance. One of the issues with gps recording vs. mapmyrun is that the online version may give the shortest route (i.e. inside the curves) while your actual run may be longer because you aren't always cutting across the corners and taking the shortest way. With a difference of .15, I wouldn't worry about it.
Alicia - welcome to the forum. I take it you're in the Southern Hemisphere?

Thank you Ginny! And yes, I live in the Southern Hemisphere, where days are getting shorter and colder, brrr.
Hi all,
I'm new to this thread. I have completed C25K twice and am now working through Ease into 10K on my iPhone. I signed up for my first 10K coming up in June. That makes it official!
I am running a little farther each week, which is a good thing, and I can really feel it (that might be a good or a bad thing.) It may be time for a fresh pair of shoes. My 35 minute yoga routine helps a lot with the creakiness.
Happy running everybody

Welcome Alicia and Sederleaf! I just finished my first 10K and my advice is don't go out too fast! (easier said than done).
Kathy - I use an app on my smartphone rather than a watch - but maybe I shouldn't. Sometimes the gps is off by maybe .15 or so when compared with mapmyrun which I find negligible. Except for last night when 1/4 mile into my run the Endomondo GPS Lady said "5 miles in 2:12; lap time 23 seconds" HAHA She had me finishing a 9 mile run at an average speed of 22.22 mph. I'll be emailing customer service if this keeps up. In reality I ran 3.6 miles at an average pace of 11:07.
Kathy, so glad to hear you were able to get gps! Enjoy it and yes, it is not perfect.
Deb, I find my Endo has gps problems now and then but it's better at keeping track than the C25k was. They all get flustered when you run under a concrete overpass or around tall buildings. What I've noticed is that if the signal drops for long they start over or calculate all wrong. I've been running with both the HH HM training app and Endo on at the same time and Endo miles are longer and, as a result it measures speed higher and calories lower. The difference is small for short runs but for example Endo said 6.46 mi and HH 6.54, but cal were 795 vs.1047 and pace was 14:05 vs.13:44. The pace thing is what was most important to me and it bugs me not to know if I'm getting slower or faster. It's useful to keep track of how I'm doing physically. Usually my pace falls off right before I start getting allergies or other probls.
Welcome you guys who are just finishing C25k!! Keep letting us know how you are doing and your plans. I found this transition period very frustrating but am glad I pushed through it. Almost gave up though - twice. Look around at other threads, too, but don't get discouraged about your progress when you see someone posting about running 10 mi one week and then 12 mi the next. It's just as hard to go from 3 to 3.5 as it is to add 2 mi. when you are running longer and maybe harder.
So my HM extraining group email says they're running 12 mi at Lunken Airport this weekend. I did it last weekend. HA!! Little victories. gotta love em. I do regret still not having a running buddy, though. I have to read up on taper. Someone just scared me saying it should be 3 wks. I was planning 1 wk. Live and learn.
Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather we're having and getting out there, even if you're not running.

I may be slow but I'm persistant.
Goals: 5k under 30 min.; HM under 2 hr.; AG award in the USAF HM! and one full marathon.
It won't be easy but it will be worth it!
Well, I am shipping back the GPS watch today! I just found it extremely frustrating and too complex for me to use. The reason I wanted it was to keep track of my pace and mileage. Since the mileage is off, then it calculates me running at a much slower pace. I just had trouble getting it to work right. I just know it is a half mile around my neighborhood...I've driven and mapped it, so I don't want to be frustrated with the wrong mileage. Maybe it just wasn't the best GPS watch to begin with since I got such a deal on it. I'm able to return it for a full credit and no shipping to return.
Whenever I get a smartphone "someday", I'll just use an app from the phone. I guess nothing is really perfect yet with these GPS's.

Well tomorrow is my first day as a 10k man... I completed the c25k this week and have just seven weeks to get my ar53 in order to do my first 10k in London at the end of May.. I will be following the bridge to 10k programme on www.b210k.com and plan to be running tomorrow in about 8 or 9 hours or so..
Day one 5 mins warm up followed by 4 x 10 min runs with a minutes walk inbetween and 5 mins "cool down" at the end..
Hey ho , wish me luck
Almost 50 years young - was about 340lbs, now about 180 lbs and just started running for the first time in 28 years
Started the c25k dec 2011 and will move onto b210k once I have completed it
First 5k booked for 18th March 2012 - Malaga Spain
First 10k booked for May 27th 2012 - London UK
Thanks for the welcome everyone.
And good luck tomorrow Bob!
Tomorrow will also be my first day of b210k. I wasn't going to do it at firs, but since I finished c25k I'm finding it really hard to increase my mileage. I know it's not supposed to be easy, but I really feel stuck. So I hope this program will help. I also hope it will keep me from trying to do too much too soon.
Have a great weekend everybody!

INDIANAPOLIS -- Running superbly, throwing better than he ever has and giving the Raiders a fourth-quarter lead, Terrelle Pryor exasperated a strong opponent, quieted a raucous dome and gained national respect.
Yet Pryor's most significant accomplishment Sunday was delivering hope.
Even in defeat, his performance brought a sliver of hope to a demoralized fan base, to a head coach whose job is at stake and to a franchise that has spent the past decade mocking itself.
Oakland's 21-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium was unremarkable aside from the visual evidence of Pryor's growth as a quarterback. He was a desperate option last season, and uncertainty about his future prompted general manager Reggie McKenzie to draft one quarterback and sign another through free agency.
Now, suddenly, Pryor, in his third season, looks like the only quarterback on the roster with a chance to lift the Raiders from the Era of Embarrassment.
It's one game, so there is plenty of time for opponents to study Pryor, look for tendencies and seek ways to disrupt his game. The league is, always will be, about consistency, and few struggle with that more than young passers.
But in the pressurized predicament of making his second career start, in the season opener, on the road, in a dome, against a 2012 playoff team, Pryor exceeded reasonable expectations. His Raiders actually outgained Andrew Luck's Colts 372-274.
It was largely because of Pryor's arm and feet and, yes, decision-making, that the outcome was in doubt until the final seconds, to the shock of 65,412 in attendance. Pryor's 5-yard dart to Denarius Moore with 11:09 left gave Oakland a 17-14 lead that crumbled when Indy responded by marching 80 yards for the winning touchdown.
"We had a chance to win,'' veteran safety Charles Woodson said. "The defense, we dropped the ball.''
Though Pryor's passing stats were decent -- 19 of 29, 217 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions -- his rushing stats (13 carries, a Raiders quarterback record 112 yards) were impressive and, above all, his surprisingly proficient presence was encouraging.
"He provides a spark and has some things he can do and create with his feet,'' coach Dennis Allen said. "That was outstanding. Overall, I was pleased with his performance.
"There's still a lot of things that we got to get cleaned up with him and ... anytime you have a young guy, you're going to have to make some corrections.''
Pryor's glaring mistakes were one late sack and two interceptions, one in the first quarter when he threw late to Rod Streater in the end zone and the other when he heaved a third-and-24 pass inside the final minute that ended Oakland's final comeback attempt.
Pryor's self-evaluation was harsh, dismissing the way he twisted the Indy defense into knots with his scrambling, ignoring his 66 percent completion rate and -- as highly competitive folks tend to do -- zeroing in on his contributions to defeat.
"I did awful,'' he said. "Two interceptions ... could have won the game ... had them on the ropes down there. That's all that matters. That number on the win column is all that matters to me.''
What has to matter to the Raiders, though, is the sight of progress from young players. They haven't had a winning season since 2002, and they're trying to follow a long-term progression after years of shortsighted "plans.''
The Raiders have to be delighted with Pryor's improvement. The offseason work, including a tuneup of his throwing mechanics, has created the possibility of the kind of double-threat quarterback that brings defenders to tears.
"We knew we had a heck of a football player coming here, a talented guy, a great athlete, a guy who could do that,'' Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "But ... he did a great job.''
On a Raiders team with such a thin layer of offensive playmakers, a quarterback with Pryor's attributes represents the best possibility of success.
"Terrelle Pryor is a stud,'' Luck said. "He made some unbelievable plays.''
The cliché is that no team welcomes a moral victory, most of all because the concept is associated with losing the game. The Raiders indeed lost but won something the franchise needs, something Allen needs, something the fan base needs.
In a season when they've been casually dismissed as short on talent and without an NFL-caliber quarterback, Pryor's showing gained them a measure of respect.
Respect in the NFL equals hope, and that was hardly visible before Sunday.

Dear Sage the SmutChild.........
I'm not gay...but fuck it. I am a little I guess. Everyone probably is. Who the hell knows until they actually try it, but I'm sick of feeling guilty about it. i don't know. these kids who are IMing you probably have the same kind of doubts. which makes me pissed off how you treat them.

Sometimes I post your IMs to show you how stupid you come across. Other times I post them just because the shit is comedy. people don't know how to act...that's the truth of it all.

I've talked to Sage online 3 or 4 times.The first time he told me to say whatever I had to say here.The next time we talked for a minute (it was about some cd's and merch).But the next couple of times he just ignored me or just didn't respond, which is fine because I'm sure he gets 1,000 IM's a day from fucking ignorant asses.But ever since I found his forum, I just post my questions/comments here or if they are important, I'll email him.This whole thing with these kids is just funny b/c if Sage doesn't respond the first time, 30 seconds later they are callin him a dick...Example:
IgnorantAss123:Yo, Sage I love your work.
IgnorantAss123:Are you there?
IgnorantAss123:Well fuck you.Your nothing but a fucking homo anyways.Actin like your too good to talk to your loyal fans.
IgnorantAss123:What?Your their?
SageKillz:No, I'm not here.This is my spirit dumbass.
SageKillz:This convo is over now.
IgnorantAss123:Fuck you loser,always degrading someone.
(SageKillz is not currently signed on)
Well there you have it, but I think I gave IgnorantAss123 too much credit.Most of these convos have way too many words that are spelled incorrectly, but oh well.

I can see where it might help for these IMers too see the convo right in front of them, after the fact. It's kind of like those troubled teens who go on Jenny Jones.....then, after seeing themself on TV, they're back on the show months later talkin bout: "Oh mah gawd Jenny...I can't belieb how I waz akin.....I feel so dumb, and now Ima make changes....thank you for lettin me see wassup! Go Jenny.....go Jenny.....Go!" Ya heard?

It was all out-of-town people," said Women of Today member Julia Becker.• Dr. Manfred Nozar, mayor of the West German town of Neusass — official sister city of Redwood Falls —, sent a letter to the Redwood Falls City Council inviting them to visit Neusass in June 1988, when the German town would be celebrating the opening of its new courthouse.• The municipal liquor store opened a section, "The Back Room Bargain Store", with closeout prices on case lots and some wines.• One hundred and six snowbirds attended the fifth annual winter picnic for Redwood County residents, held in Mesa, Arizona.• Parents protested against the school district's proposal to save money by dropping its computer class.The school's logic, explained Principal Ivor Christopherson, was that computers were becoming so common that students were already picking up what they needed to know about computers outside of school.2002—10 years ago• The Washington County Sheriff's Department in Hillsboro, Oregon, called the Redwood Gazette with a mystery.It seems part of the evidence recovered from a crime scene in Oregon was a Redwood Falls High School Class of 1926 ring engraved with the initials LLG.A quick examination of a 1926 yearbook turned up someone with those initials: Lucille L. Grapp. However, no one at the Gazette or school district could find her location, or if she was still alive.• Redwood Area School Superintendent Rick Ellingworth won (or lost, depending on how you look at it) the Kiss-a-Pig fundraiser for the Redwood Senior Center.• The RVHS boys basketball team ended a historic season with a 50-43 loss to Lewiston-Altura at the Xcel Energy Center to become the third best team in Class "AA" division.• Jenny Thul, a first grade teacher at Reede Gray Elementary School — and former United States Army, Europe Soldier of the Year for 1989 — put middle school students through basic training to give them a taste of the military.• As part of the student MIC contest, Thomas Kuehn and Gerald Vasquez invented the "Backboard Stopper", a net that kept basketballs from getting stuck behind the backboard.

Designing for Yosemite
People love OS X because it gives them the tools and environment they need to create, manage, and experience the content they care about. A great OS X app integrates seamlessly into this environment, while at the same time providing custom functionality and a unique user experience.
Before you dive into the guidelines that help you design a great app, take a few moments to explore how OS X Yosemite uses simplicity, consistency, and depth to give users a content-focused experience.
Yosemite simplifies many parts of the user interface (UI) to emphasize core functionality. For example, app icons simplify and clarify ornamentation, while remaining gorgeous and instantly recognizable.
The system font is a specially optimized version of Helvetica Neue, which displays textual content with beauty, clarity, and sharpness.
The combined title bar and toolbar area removes clutter from the window UI without decreasing functionality.
Yosemite refreshes and refines the OS X UI, without losing the consistency that helps people feel at home in the environment.
Icon styles are freshly balanced to communicate a sense of harmony and stability.
The realistic icon style—used by Preview, Mail, Photo Booth, and Dictionary, among others—employs a consistent level of detail, perspective, light source, and rendering style.
In icons that use the round graphical style—such as those in iTunes, iBooks, App Store, and Safari—the symbols use the same embossed effect, and the overall shape and use of color are consistent.
Using an optimized version of Helvetica Neue as the system font means that both apps and the system present all text consistently. The use of Helvetica Neue also gives users a consistent experience when they switch between iOS and OS X.
Reminders in OS X
Reminders in iOS
Yosemite refines the impression of plausible, physical dimensionality in the UI. In particular, Yosemite uses translucency and vibrancy to help users focus on what's important to them. (Vibrancy is a sophisticated blending mode that lets UI elements absorb color from content that's underneath them.)
Drop shadows, translucency, and vibrant colors help the active window stand out so that users instantly notice it.
A translucent toolbar helps the window UI recede, letting the user's content appear more prominent.
Sidebars and overlays can use vibrancy to defer to the user's content in two different ways.
A sidebar that enables app-level navigation, such as the Finder sidebar, lets users see the content behind the window.
An overlay that provides selection and other controls that are focused on window content, such as the Maps Directions view, gives users a more expansive view of the window's content.
Notification Center helps people stay anchored to their previous context by using a vibrant, dark appearance that automatically complements the desktop beneath it.

Street Saints
Based on eight years of hands-on experience and more than 300 interviews, Street Saints is both a book of motivational stories about unsung heroes and a sociological study of the "faith factor," documenting faith-based programs that are treating social maladies in America. This book takes readers on a tour of communities and institutions in America where faith-based initiatives are making a difference. It offers inspiration, role models, and guidelines for people who would like to give back to their own communities.
Section 1 introduces street saints, people who are willing to go where there is pain and suffering and be a presence of healing with love. They are people of faith who are solving problems—such as a woman who has reclaimed a city block from drug dealers and a pastor who walks into gang confrontations to defuse them. Although of diverse races, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds, they are alike in their motivation to transform individuals.
Section 3 focuses on three cities—Pittsburgh, Memphis, and Fresno—where people of faith are mobilizing resources to transform entire communities. Section 4 presents the historical framework that puts social entrepreneurship into a broader vision of the soul of America. An appendix provides contact information for those who want to emulate the examples provided in the book.
Barbara J. Elliott is a senior fellow with the Hudson Institute and a philanthropic advisor with the Legacy Group. She is the founder of the Center for Renewal, which serves the leaders of faith-based groups. President George W. Bush gave her an award for Human Rights in 2001, honoring her work with refugees and the poor. She is the author of Candles Behind the Wall:Heroes of the Peaceful Revolution that Shattered Communism, and scores of articles on civic renewal. Barbara Elliott lives in Houston, Texas, and teaches for the Catherine of Siena Institute.

What year did AOI's voice mail bomb threat come out in?
for some reason my mp3 album rip from a group says 1997... and ive always thought it was 1997... but it makes no sense... sage was a nobody in 97. Is it 97 or 99?
"hey i can play bass and i have a computer, and im nailed to the fuckin X... we should start a live straight-edge hip hop band, so we can get all the gangster bitches on our tip!"

|Organize tea workflow
1. Took the IELTS: 21:23
Canada's skilled worker point system includes points for language proficiency, which can be proved either through a letter or through a standardized test. I decided to go for the standardized test so that it wouldn't be a potential hiccup in my application. The most convenient option seemed to be the IELTS. I did that test today.
The IELTS wasn't difficult, although the writing section was somewhat tiring. I had just enough time to do a little composition and revision. I'm reasonably happy with the quality of the essay that I wrote. The speaking test was a lot of fun, too. The questions asked happened to be related to a topic that I'd read a lot about lately, so I not only had a strong opinion, but the facts to back it up. ;)
W- and I enjoyed joking about the test preparation. A website I checked out last night advised strategies such as using "high-quality" words in the essay portion in order to impress examiners. "Apropos" was one such "high-quality" word proposed by the website. Although I've been teased about my vocabulary before, I don't do it to sound educated, and I refuse to use the word "utilize" when "use" is fine. We had much fun making up sentences with lots of buzzwords and jargon, though! (Should be good preparation for IBM! ;) )

Wow! What's up with the recording on this one? If you would like an absolute clinic on how Mike plays the bass, this is your show! Page is pretty much completely missing from this bootleg. All the vocals are low. Trey and Fish are still in there but, Mike is front and center! Lots of reverb too.
Anyway, this is a first set only bootleg and the playing is pretty good from what I can hear. Mike has his problems in the new songs but, otherwise tight. Love the bass line to It's Ice.
As always, I wish I could hear the whole show. Looked like a fun second set.

Expression of active recombinant proteins in E. coli which require post-translational modifications, such as disulfide bonds, is difficult, mainly due to the fact that disulfide bond formation in E. coli is compartmentalized to the periplasm and does not have the capacity to express complex multidisulfide bonded eukaryotic proteins. Novel expression strains and procedures are in demand to handle the growing pharmaceutical and biotechnological field. The author highlights novel strains and methods that have recently been shown to express multidisulfide bonded proteins.
One major form of post-translational modification is the formation of covalent disulfide bonds. Disulfide bonds are more common than appreciated. After the peptide bond, disulfide bonds are the second most common covalent bonds found within proteins (3). It is estimated that one-third of the human proteins reside in the endoplasmic reticulum, of those at least half of them are predicted to have disulfide bonds (3). When expressing an open reading frame (ORF) from an uncharacterized organism or unknown sources (as in the case of environmental DNA libraries), a researcher is challenged to find the correct expression host and condition to express soluble active protein to a satisfactory yield. When attempting to express a protein which requires disulfide bonds for its folding, a sufficient understanding on the mechanism of disulfide bond formation and its subsequent biological roles is essential. This review will attempt to summarize the necessary knowledge to assist the researcher in finding the correct conditions to express a disulfide bonded protein, within the model prokaryotic host E. coli.THE NATURE OF A DISULFIDE BOND
Disulfide bonds are formed by the oxidation of thiol groups (SH) found within the side-chains of cysteines. Disulfide bonds play multiple critical roles in proteins stability, function and can be summarized into three major biological groups; structural, signaling, and catalytic.
Redox state of cysteines
Cysteines involved in the formation of structural disulfide bonds decrease the entropy of a protein by restricting conformational possibilities, increasing the proteins thermostability (4). It is therefore possible to create more stable versions of a protein by engineering disulfide bonds into the proteins sequence (5). Not surprisingly, the stabilizing property of disulfide bonds is most likely the reason why secreted proteins, which are outside the chaperone rich environment of the cytoplasm, are rich in disulfide bonds. However, cysteines are uniquely sensitive to their environment and can be readily reduced or oxidized depending on the redox state of their surroundings (6). This feature has been used by many proteins to sense, signal, and regulate the redox state of their environment.
For example, the transcriptional factor OxyR has two redox sensitive cysteines which upon oxidation promote a conformational change, resulting in the activation of OxyR as a transcriptional factor (7). Other signaling disulfide bonds can be found in the two-component signal transduction system of ArcAB and oxidative stress response of RsrA (8, 9). Catalytic cysteines are crucial to the activity of oxidoreductases and are found within the CxxC active site motif, where x is any amino acid. The active site cysteines of reductases such as the cytoplasmic thioredoxin are maintained reduced, whereas those of oxidases such as the periplasmic DsbA are maintained oxidized (10, 11).

As snowmaking efforts continue in the county, the lack of natural snow doesn't appear to be preventing most Summit County ski areas from opening new terrain as Thanksgiving weekend nears.Keystone has the lead in the county for the most terrain open to skiers and riders this weekend, with a total of 122 acres.The resort will add acreage on Schoolmarm, a beginner trail, as well as portions of the Silver Spoon and Jay Bird trails. Six trails, including a terrain park with more than 25 features, and five lifts will be open for the upcoming weekend at Keystone.The resort is expecting to open its tubing hill and night skiing operations Wednesday to kick off Thanksgiving weekend.Breckenridge Ski Resort opened the middle Four O'Clock run Thursday and the 5-Chair opens today at 9 a.m. offering beginner access from the Vista Haus to Rip's Ride. In total, the resort is running the 5-Chair, Colorado SuperChair, and Rip's Ride accessing 75 acres. At Copper Mountain, snowmaking crews managed to open Green Acres with access from the Pitchfork Lift, 7 trails and 79 acres for today.Arapahoe Basin has not been able to open additional terrain. The ski area currently offers two intermediate trails, High Noon and Ramrod with 20 acres of skiable terrain as well as the High Divide terrain park. Though snowmaking is slow, operations are working to open new terrain, according to ski area officials."The fan guns are pointing at the lean spots," said Alan Henceroth, chief operating officer of the ski area. "We are still trying to get Lenawee Lift open by the weekend."Ski area officials from A-Basin announced Thursday afternoon plans to open new terrain Saturday, allowing guests to ski from the summit to the base area. Thanks to recent natural snowfall and low temperatures conducive to snowmaking, ski area officials say, A-Basin will open two more intermediate runs: Lenawee Face and Dercum's Gulch. The runs are serviced by the Black Mountain Express and Lenawee Mountain lifts and begin at the summit and connect at mid-mountain with High Noon and Ramrod. On Saturday, the Black Mountain Express Lift will open at 8:30 a.m. and end service at 4 p.m. The Lenawee Mountain Lift at mid-mountain and the Pika Place carpet in the base area will carry passengers from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Loveland Ski area opened additional terrain and Chair 6 Tuesday. So far, Loveland has reported more snowfall than Summit County resorts with 17-inches of natural snow to date.

ORINDA -- Eva Schloss, Holocaust survivor and posthumous stepsister of Anne Frank, brought history to life during a 90-minute program at the Orinda Theatre on Saturday.
The horrors she suffered after being imprisoned in Auschwitz at the age of 15 formed a bittersweet story, delivered with the same determination that kept her alive nearly 70 years ago.
At the invitation of Rabbi Raleigh Resnick, director of the Chabad of the Tri-Valley, Schloss' appearance in California was the first on a three-stop tour.
In a loosely formatted question-and-answer talk, Schloss recalled family connections the Nazis could never sever and spoke of her mission to combat a global amnesia she fears will increase as the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles.
"There are so many people who denied the Holocaust," Schloss said. "There is again terrible hatred and discrimination. We have to be aware of what goes on in the world. Why hate each other?"
Schloss surprised the audience with her joie de vivre, quickly dispelling any speculation as to why an 83-year-old grandmother would travel the world bearing a grim, often harsh tale. "I was born in 1929 and had an older brother (Heinz). My father (Pappy) inherited a shoe factory from his father. I lived in Vienna, a wonderful city with writers and artists. We were very happy. Life was going to be very happy until the terrible things happened," she recalled. The "things" were Nazis, and when they marched into Austria in 1938, chaos ensued.
"Hitler didn't want to kill us originally, he wanted to get rid of us," she said bluntly.
In the same direct, ultimately intimate tone as her two books, "Eva's Story" and "The Promise," Schloss detailed unimaginable terror, acts of betrayal, heart-rending separations and physical torture, striking a balance with breathtaking honesty and admirable humor.
When the Schloss family fled to Amsterdam, her path crossed the short life of Anne Frank for the first time.
"Anne was a different child than me. She always wanted a lot of attention and was good at telling stories. I liked riding the bicycle and was a frenetic marble player," Schloss said.
"I remember (people) used to say, 'God knows everything, but Anne knows everything better,' " she laughed.
After her family went into hiding, Schloss said no one expected their Dutch supporters to betray them -- nor did they imagine the evils they would endure at the hands of the Nazis.
Schloss saw her brother for the last time as she departed the train car that delivered her and her mother to a labor camp.
"It was a beautiful May day, but then we saw the sign 'Auschwitz.' People were crying and screaming. It was an awful scene; the Germans couldn't care less. They were laughing, smiling. A man stood there, deciding this side (death camps) or that side (labor camps)."
Schloss and her mother survived. Her father and brother did not.
"You know my whole suffering? I could get over this," she concluded. "But the death of my brother and my father, I will never forgive the Nazis."
Schloss and her mother returned to Vienna after the war. Anne's father, Otto Frank, visited.
"He had a little brown package in his hands. He opened it very carefully and read from what was Anne's diary. He said, 'I didn't even know my own child.' He was so amazed," Schloss said.
Schloss' mother and Otto Frank eventually married and devoted their lives to sharing Anne's story. Schloss worked as a professional photographer and raised her family, finding her greatest life's purpose in the message she heard from her stepfather.
"He said, 'You can spend your life hating people, but you will be miserable.' "
"Slowly, slowly, I accepted. You live on through your family. We are all decent people and should respect each other and not be different communities," Schloss said.

Editor's note: Director's Chair is a column where Kris Sabel, who is in charge of cultural programming for the Vail Valley Foundation, gives his expert take on shows not to be missed at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek. Today, in place of Kris, Anne-Marie McDermott, artistic director for Bravo! Vail, guest writes about next week's Orpheus Chamber Orchestra performance with pianist Richard Goode at the Vilar Center.
Some things in life are simply too special to pass up. As the artistic director of Bravo! Vail, it is my greatest pleasure to support and encourage everyone to attend the Vilar Performing Arts Center's upcoming March 20 performance of the world-renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and guest pianist Richard Goode.
Both the Vilar and Bravo! Vail share a passionate desire to bring audiences unforgettable musical experiences. So take it from me, you don't want to miss out on the magical bond between Orpheus and Richard Goode. Having worked together for decades, toured extensively and made Grammy Award winning recordings, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra musicians and Richard Goode have formed a deep musical bond that will enliven every note of Robert Schumann's stunningly beautiful "Piano Concerto." How remarkable that this romantic music can be presented in the full spirit of chamber music, without a conductor.
The two opening works on the program - Rossini's "Overture to L'Italiana in Algeri" and Mendelssohn's beloved "'Italian' Symphony" - shimmer with exquisite detail and will resound wonderfully in the perfect acoustics at the Vilar Center.
An Orpheus concert is never just a concert - each one is a joy. And I wish I could be there to share the evening with you. Do go for an extraordinary experience, then please come find me at Bravo! Vail this summer to tell me how much you loved it. I'll want a full report.
Anne-Marie McDermott is the artistic director for Bravo! Vail. Email comments about this column to email@example.com.

Sorry on the delay on replying to ya — didn't catch your post. Heh. I know what you mean, though. I think it helped, but I suppose that's since I've got both copies that I can view in front of me. As for the belt, doesn't look like I can fix it. It would probably need to be redrawn, I think, and since I already went and cleaned the lines and everything. . . It'll irk me, but I think I may have to let it go.
Also, forgot to post this, but as you probably already guessed, nothing from this weekend. Don't really want to share the little doodle I did to celebrate my birthday, so something will probably come this next weekend instead.

Reel 438 Item 2
Jimmy and Nancy
I'll tell to you a story That happened here of late,
'Twas of a brisk young lady
That fell in love with her school mate.
They loved each other dearly;
They loved each other well,
But the fair young lady's fortune Did the young man's far excel.
Young Jimmy said to Nancy,
"I am a farmer's son,
And for the loving of you,
I fear I am undone.
Your father will convict me,
My dear, for loving thee,
And I fear he may convey me To some foreign country."
Young Nancy said to Jimmy,
"Why do you thus complain?
If it is your fortune To cross the raging main For riches and for honor,
You will gain and victory,
And the God of Love will guide you And send you back to me."
The old man, finding out,
Sent for Nancy straight away,
Saying, "Nancy, dearest Nancy,
What is this that you say?
Your riches and your fortune To you are all unknown,
So how can you fall in love With Jimmy, the farmer's son?"
Young Nancy stood a-trembling And fell upon her knees;
"Hold out the golden scepter,
Dearest father, if you please,
For my riches and my fortune Do all belong to me,
So be gracious, dearest Father,
To Jimmy and to me."The old man stood amazed To see his daughter's grief,
And on the couple gazed To find out some relief,
Saying, "Jimmy, prove yourself And go along the sea And try to make your fortune Before we can agree."
Then off of her finger She pulled a diamond ring;
The promise was remembered By the closing of her name.
"Take this ring as a token While you are on the sea That my poor heart is broken 'Till you return to me."
Yonng Jimmy to the sea has gone With courage, sgrong and bold,
To try to make his fortune Of some silver and some gold. Young Jimmy long did tarry,
And she did thus complain Because he was compelled To cross the raging main.
The old man said to Nancy,
"Why don't you thus agree?
I have a match more suitable With John of Brisk Comfree. Tomorrow is the wedding day I have appointed here,
So be ready, dearest Nancy,
And gallantly appear."
That very night she mourned,
And young Jimmy came on shore With Spanish gold and silver,
He had a noble store,
And all things being quiet,
And Jimmy busy were,
Inquiring of his friends And all the neighbors there.
Said Jimmy to the landlady,
"One thing I long to hear.
Is pretty Nancy married yet,
That lovely lady fair?"
The landlady stood a-smiling And then she did declare, "Tomorrow is the wedding day; We're all invited there."

Reel 438 Item 2 (contin'd)
Young Jimmy to the lodging went But he did take no rest,
And early the next morning He went among the rest.
He went into the wedding house With compliments so fine,
Saying, "We're all invited here To drink the best of wine."
Young Jimmy, he was dressed Like an English Lord should be, And in among the rest Was John of Brisk Comfree.
He filled up a glass
And in it dropped the ring;
He took it on to Nancy To drink the glass with him.
She drank out the wine And astonished was she,
Saying, "Here's the diamond ring That Jimmy got fro me.
Come noble sir, come twll me,
I long to hear what's past,
For this ring was given, a token, As long as life should last."
"If Jimmy's killed in battle, Pray hide it not from me."
"Be easy, dearest Nancy,
You gave that ring to me."
She fixed her eyes upon him,
And instantly she knew.
She cried, "My darling Jimmy," And into his arms she flew.
(This is an English song that was passed down from her grandfather who came from England.)

After a short illness, Diane Marie Delacy Scott, of Mount Shasta, embraced the eternal light on Sept. 20, 2012.
Born July 21, 1948 in Philadelphia, Pa. to Paul and Anne DeLacy, she moved to California in 1985.
Diane's spirit brought her to Mount Shasta in 1988. Her gentle nature found peace and solace on the slopes of this great mountain.
Survivors include her husband Dusty of Mount Shasta; four brothers Jerry (Colleen), Chris (Margo), Mark (Yolanda) and Mike (Maryann), all of the Philadelphia area; her beloved nieces Christa and Shannon; and her nephew Matt.
As Diane has requested a whole body donation through MedCure.org, no services are planned.
