wrong side vs right side, dpns, socks, "knew knitter"
For years I have avoided knitting patterns out of intimidation.
I am making THIS year THE year I learn how to knit socks.
I need help.
Here is the pattern I am attempting, I say attempting because I have tried at least 1/2 a dozen times. I keep ripping it apart and starting over. I am determined.
Please suggest an easier pattern if there is one.. LOL
I am using DPNS, and I am confused as to which is the right side and which is the wrong side.
Knitting the Heel Flap
"Row 1: (wrong side) Slip the first stitch purlwise with the yarn in front, purl the rest of the stitches."
Am I suppose to be turning the piece, back and forth as I knit, etc?
In other words, am I suppose to hold the working piece in my left hand, and knit onto my right hand needle? Then turn it and do the 2nd row?
I ask because there is no mention of turning it, but turning is used on the next step? ..help
Turning the Heel
Row 1: Slip 1, purl 5, purl 2together, purl one. Turn the work, leaving one stitch unworked.
Where do I leave it? Seriously? Do I slip it onto the right hand needle? I assume I should not leave it by itself on the lonely needle, since all his neighbors have moved to the other needle. ~help
Thank you for reading, I have more questions, but I am determined to understand the above before I ask any more.
I have to leave specific answers to specific problems to others who know more than I do.
I hope you have a happy outcome with your socks. Completing a pair is a real confidence booster.
You leave the one st unworked on its needle, do not slip it, and you'll go back to it later. This is normal for 'short row heels' on socks.
You might find Silver's sock class a little easier to follow, though I think if you just do each step as written in your pattern, it will come out okay.
Welcome to socks! The first sock will give you fits, don't worry. Your second sock will be much easier.:hug:
Just like in circular knitting, the RS of your sock is the outside of the tube, and the WS is the inside. Working socks on DPN is pretty much the same as working them on circulars, the only difference is the number of needles. I watched Kelley Pitkins[sp?] sock class on the tutorials page of knitpicks.com before I got the nerve up to even try one. It really takes the mystery out of socks. Take a looksee at her sock class there, and I promise all will be clear afterwards.
Good luck, and have fun with your socks!
Yep, I learned with the link Suzeeq posted...Silver's Sock Class. I love all the photos.
Welcome to Knitting Help!
Ooops. I mangled the link, here it is and I'll fix the other one - http://www.cometosilver.com/socks/SockClass_Start.htm
Thank you for the link, I will look at the patterns next chance I get. The color and designs are intimidating. But I will give it a go. I am going to be a great aunt this year, I need to start knitting booties. I figure by August I should be able to accomplish at least one pair. LOL - thanks
I know asking about right side wrong side was a bit out there, but I was just messing around with the dpns, just knitting, to get a feel for it and all. I kept having the work, instead of falling nicely down toward my lap, it was coming UP from the DPNS, I don;t know if I was twisting it or what. I was doing something with knitting needles, just not sure it could be classified as knitting.
thanks I will review the classes, links etc

Part of the beauty of a visit to Ayers Rock is the viewing of the glowing red monolith in the changing sunlight. Even as Oprah experienced on her trip to Australia, the majestic beauty of this spiritual landmark is intensified at nightfall.
Because of the glory that a sunset adds to the experience of dining at Ayers Rock, there are also outdoor dining options that allow visitors to take the viewing of the rock to another level.
Sounds of Silence Restaurant
Enjoy a 3 hour outdoor dining event at Ayers Rock with the Sounds of Silence Restaurant. Set in a secluded dining area, outdoors and with a perfect view of Ayers Rock, the experience allows customers the ability to take part in an Australian themed meal as the sun sets. The meal includes such specialties as kangaroo, emu and crocodile meat, and with flavors of lemon myrtle, wattleseed and wild lime.
Didgeridoo music fills the air, and long after the sun sets, the event turns into stargazing (also including a talk on the subject).
Outback Barbecue Dinner and Star Tour
The Ayers Rock Outback Barbecue Dinner and Star Tour is much like the experience provided by the Sounds of Silence Restaurant, but with a more casual feel. Instead of a formal dining event, the dinner is an outback barbecue with such specialties as beef and kangaroo sausages, seasonal salads, and rolls.
After the sun sets, visitors are provided with billy tea as a knowledgeable guide provides a stargazing tour of the southern sky. The entire event goes for around 3.5 hours.

A Must Read - Share
By Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As lawmakers gathered in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday to vote on a plan to expand background checks for gun buyers, staffers in the office of Alaska Democratic Senator Mark Begich fielded a steady stream of calls urging him to break with his party and vote against the measure. Those callers got what they wanted: Begich voted no - one of four Democrats from gun-friendly states to do so - and the most ambitious gun-control push in two decades went down to defeat. ...

The New Mexico Trail - page 3 of 4
On April 26, Zúñiga sent his infantry up the San Francisco River with the expectation of meeting them again near "El Telár". From Lucero the infantry negotiated the winding river bottom for nine leagues northeast with the steep-sided Saliz Mountains on their left and the moderate sloping canyon lands of the Mogollon Mountains to their right. The captain's march was only six leagues in the same direction but he camped again on the river at the mouth of the "Caxon de los Jucaros".
On April 27, the day started late (about 9 a.m.) and ended late. This would be a significant day with respect to finding a pass to Zuni. From the river, the captain and his party turned north-northwest up the Caxon de los Jucaros (Saliz Canyon) for 5 leagues and near its headwaters turned northeast, descended into a piney valley with the Saliz Mountains to their right and the San Francisco Mountains to their left. Zúñiga named the basin bottom the "Valle de la Laborcita" [Photo 6]. The valley lies at 6,000 ft elevation and today the landscape is carpeted with stands of ponderosa pine, groves of pinion pine and juniper, and pockets of grassland.

By 2:30 in the afternoon the captain and his cavalry had traveled 10 leagues, or roughly 26 mi. and had reunited with the infantry near the east end of the valley. The infantry had gotten to this valley by following the San Francisco River [Photo 7] through a narrow gap between the northern end of the Saliz Mountains and Higgins Mountain.
What factors influenced Zúñiga's decision to scout a New Mexico road at this point will never be known. He was only a day's march south of present day Apache Creek, the same route taken by a host of other Spaniards earlier that century including Manual de Echeagaray. Though Zúñiga had Echeagary's 1788 notes and map, he was instructed to go by the most direct route. Did Echeagaray pass this way on his return home? I don't know. Perhaps one or more of the Apache Auxiliary convinced the captain to take to the high county from the Valle de la Laborcita.
From the valley floor to the crest of the San Francisco Mountains (El Telár) [Photo 8] is a little less than four miles with only one truly steep incline at the top. If Zúñiga travelled up the ridge between present day Cienega Canyon and Grapevine Canyon he would have been on the same course used a little over a century later called the Spur Ranch Pack Trail. It should be noted that a large prehistoric ruin at the head of the trail suggests that this route may have some antiquity. Other ridges may provide similar opportunities for quick access to the top.
In any event, the expedition crossed over the northeast end of the San Francisco Mountains and descended through a thick pine forest to the junction of the present day San Francisco River and Centerfire Creek. Climbing a hill to the north-northwest to view the landscape before them they climbed down and continued north along a "beaten path" through an opening in the pine forest before retiring for the day. The captain had added four additional leagues to the day travelling about 30 miles or about 14 leagues total. This is not an unreasonable jaunt for a field-hardened horse or mule given that the terrain encountered was for the most part good.
Zúñiga was now in a good position to reach Zuni. He camped the night at the mouth of a watered canyon he called "San Atanasio" (present day Centerfire Creek). At sunrise Zúñiga marched a quarter league north through the canyon reaching its end. From here they rode north-northwest along present day Funderburg Draw, passed through Black Gap and observed some small natural basins filled with winter runoff.
Traveling at a good pace over sage flats and piney hills on the west edge of Spur Lake Basin the expedition entered Arroyo Grande where they found a little cienega (probably Knights Spring). They had ridden five leagues since morning. From the cienega the expedition easily crossed present day Bill Knight Gap and descended onto what Zúñiga described as a "very beautiful plain" [Photos 9 & 10]. This is a portion of the "North Plain" traversed by Spanish forays earlier in the century (see Kessell 1971; Thomas 1936). Its eastern edge was probably seen by Manual de Echeagaray in 1788 and named la Victoria.
Zúñiga then passed left of a sink (derramadero) and encountered a number of natural pools. At this point I believe the expedition passed left of the basin at the head of Cow Spring Draw and camped at one or more of the natural pools just north of the sink, such as present day Laguna de la Manzana. Zúñiga named one of these sinks "Ojos de San Vidal" and on his return trip to Sonora his party widened the springs to make them run.
At sunrise on April 29, the expedition travelled north over some plains and rough county and eventually turned northeast passing though a narrow canyon they found blocked by rock. There is little doubt that Zúñiga was in the Quemado Volcanic Field (Dunbar 2005) and that before him was one of two large lava flows.
Here they turn left to look for a hill with a pool of water suggesting again that the captain's Apache Scout was indeed aware of their location. Finding the pool and calling it "Tinaja de San Pedro Alcántara" they rested after traveling six leagues since morning. Based on the captain's north-northeast track and the distance from his previous camp at Ojos de San Vidal I place the expedition at a natural earthen basin on top of an unnamed mesa just north of present day Agua Fria Creek and at the northwest edge of the volcanic flow they had just navigated around.
After a rest the captain wrote that they continued in the same direction for five leagues and encountered a beautiful salinas (Zuni Salt Lake). If he means they continued north-northeast, the expedition was now ascending a gentle plain between high mesas on the right and hills on the left closing in somewhat on the trail as they approached the salinas.

AUBURN, Maine (AP) � The Auburn School Department has elected to go with Apple iPads instead of the state's top choice � a laptop � for middle and high schools.
Gov. Paul LePage announced last month that a Hewlett-Packard laptop was the choice to replace Apple laptops. But it gave local school districts the option of going with one of four other state-approved options, including the Apple tablet.
The Sun Journal (http://bit.ly/10ZKjWa ) says the school committee was told iPads are cheaper, so there would be no additional cost.
Mike Muir, Multiple Pathways Leader for Auburn schools, said Apple has a stronger focus on education, while HP has a stronger focus on business. LePage liked HP's business focus, saying students are more likely to be working on a Windows-based machine when they enter the workforce.

The quality of London's orchestral life is so consistently high that the exceptional is all the more astonishing when it comes. And it came with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra on Monday. This is what a festival should be about – rethinking the basics, banishing routine, striving to create something not normally possible. On all three counts this orchestra and this conductor have succeeded. They demonstrated it four years ago on their first joint visit to London, and they have now repeated the feat.
That they did so not with Mahler, Abbado's forte, but within the more formal confines of Bruckner, makes the achievement all the more noteworthy. Abbado's Bruckner – on this occasion the Fifth Symphony – remains sui generis, but it works now on its own terms in a way it never did in the 1980s and 1990s. In typical Abbado style, all the symphonic contours were softened, the structural "uprights" dissolved, the silences curtailed in the interests of the Italian conductor's always linear approach to the classical symphony. Tempi were too flowing to bring out the monumental majesty in Bruckner's edifices, textures too well blended – too beautiful – to sound ponderous. This was Bruckner sunny side up, lending a molto espressivo bloom to the string cantilenas in the opening movement and a con amore sparkle to the brass chorales of the Adagio and finale.
How far this was pure Abbado and how far it reflected the character of his hand-picked ensemble is an open question. I spotted two former front-desk players from the Berlin Philharmonic who played an ultra-Germanic kind of Bruckner under Herbert von Karajan a generation ago – but the average age of the Lucerners must be less than 40, many of them drawn from the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Their playing retains a fabulously chamber-like quality, evidenced by the fluid interplay of the symphony's contrapuntal lines and the way everyone dialogued with Mitsuko Uchida in the Schumann Piano Concerto. This was an electrifying account, spring-coiled in attack and blissfully free of affectation in more reflective passages, each of which Uchida branded with her fearless imagination and dazzling fingers.

Tim Bradstreet - 20 Years, Part 2: Starting as an Artist
by Steve Ekstrom
Date: 24 September 2008 Time: 07:55 AM ET
Tim Bradstreet - 20 Years, Part 2
Newsarama continues its candid interview with Tim Bradstreet about his twenty year career as an artist and the upcoming release of his book Archetype: Images and Cinematic Illustration Volume 2. Click here for part one.Newsarama: Tim, you have a great deal of reverence for the people who have proceeded you as fantasy artists—as comic book artists—and this reverence can be seen in your work; how much formal art training do you have? Tim Bradstreet: None—and I think that you find that the artists who have skipped school found some other way to learn those same lessons—they have to in order to succeed. Does being an artist require proper schooling? No, and I think it's one of the few vocations that doesn't require that.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 1.5 in 2 reviews
The designers of Trivial Pursuit must be geniuses. Actually, I'm not even saying that because they have difficult questions. They must be geniuses because they convinced me (and others) to purchase another game I'll never be able to play.
DVD gaming is very addictive, and so I have purchased every single DVD game I have seen in stores. This resulted in a big mistake on my part. Purchasing Trivial Pursuit: DVD Pop Culture was not wise.
What a waste of money! Here are the problems with this game:
- When will I learn that I'm not as smart as Trivial Pursuit wants me to be? These questions are just as difficult as the other Trivial Pursuit games.
- The DVD is only supposed to be used for "wedge" questions. In other words it is involved in less than a quarter of the game.
- The DVD is very poorly made, it does not have that professionally-created feel of the Scene It games.
Don't be fooled. This game is just as bad as regular Trivial Pursuit. The DVD does not add anything (except more dollars in the price) to this game. Trivial Pursuit: DVD Pop Culture is for trivia lovers only!

There are several versions of how the Bear Flag of the Republic of California came to be. But the one I believe most accurate comes from a letter written by William L. Todd, who designed our first state flag.
Todd was one of the 24 Americans who invaded Sonoma in June 1846 and woke up Gen. Mariano Vallejo, commander of the Sonoma garrison, to tell him he was a prisoner of war.
After taking over Sonoma, the revolutionaries decided there should be a flag for this new independent Republic of California.
Thirty years later a reporter for the Los Angeles Express got curious about the many versions of the origin of the California flag. So he wrote a letter to Todd and got an answer.
"Your letter of the 9th inst. Came duly to hand, and in answer I have to say in regard to the making of the original Bear flag of California at Sonoma, in 1846, that when the Americans, who had taken up arms against the Spanish regime, had determined what kind of flag should be adopted, the following persons performed the work: Granville P. Swift, Peter Storm, Henry L. Ford and myself; we procured, in the house where we made our head-quarters, a piece of new unbleached cotton domestic, not quite a yard wide, with strips of red flannel about four inches wide, furnished by Mrs. John Sears, on the lower side of the canvas. On the upper left-hand corner was a star, and in the center was the image made to represent a grizzly bear passant so common in this country at the time.
Todd wrote that the flag suggested as the original by historian Theodore Hittell was actually made in Santa Barbara and that bear was painted black.
"The flag I painted, I saw in the rooms of the California Pioneers in San Francisco in 1870 and the Secretary will show it to any person who will call on him at any time.
"If it is the one that I painted it will be known by a mistake in tinting out the words 'California Republic.' The letters were first lined out with a pen, and I left out the letter 'I' and lined out the letter 'C' in its place. But afterwards I lined out the letter 'I' over the 'C' so that the last syllable of 'Republic' looks as if the two last letters were blended.
"Yours respectfully, Wm. L. Todd."
Some reports had it that Mrs. Sears donated her white petticoat for the flag and the red flannel came from the back of a man's shirt. The California Republic lasted only a month and the original flag was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.
Days Gone By appears on Sundays. Contact Nilda Rego at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Roosevelt official understood danger of high taxes, debt
Albert Redway, Woodbury Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A contemporary of Einstein said, "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong ... somebody else can have my job. ... I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. ... I say after eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started. ... And an enormous debt to boot." That was in 1939, and the speaker was Henry Morgenthau Jr., Treasury secretary under President Franklin Roosevelt.

I have a client with 2 servers - the older one is a dell poweredge and the
newer is a gateway 960. Both servers have external HP DAT drives connected
to Adaptec SCSI cards - DDS3 for DEll, DDS4 for Gateway.
Since updating to SP3 the Gateway has had one problem after another - currently
abends when looking at either file system or NDS - can't exit client - have
to reboot - No matches at Novell or Veritas for abend information. Error
code: 00000000 - This is after deleting backup exec and re-installing have
recreated smdr a couple fo times, no help. Have sbcon running (after recreating
smdr and qman).
Trying to fix smdr may have contributed to license problem which took cal
to Novell to fix. Had to install a beta patch for licensing on both servers.
These problems so far have affectred only the gateway server - which is
newer and runs the ACT! database the client relies on.

Black History Month: Books for 12 and under
I've known Jill Swanson for a long time. You'd have to look far and wide to find someone more devoted to education and good books. Her blog is amazing–brimming with suggestions and reviews of books for children 12 and younger.
During Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday week, she featured books pertinent to Black History Month.
On Monday, there were books about Dr. King, Marian Anderson, Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges, Ida B. Wells, and more.
On Tuesday, there's a chapter book set in the 1960s Civil Rights years.
On Wednesday, she features the winner of the 2011 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award.
Thursday's book follows the stories of some of the brave children of Selma, Alabama.
I've linked here to pages with other books on the same topics, including some written for older than 12 years old. But please don't miss Jill's excellent choices and thoughtful reviews.
3 Responses to "Black History Month: Books for 12 and under"
Thank you so much for posting a link to Jill's website. As a lover of children's lit I'm sure there will be lots of enjoyment in spending time there.
Thanks for the link to Jill's blog. It looks like a wonderful resource for children's books!
I'm so excited to find Jill's blog through your post!!! Thank you…
Can't wait for "after bedtimes" to peruse.

THIS Is How You Promote Your New Album, Lady Gaga
10/22/2013 8:00 AM PDT, by Emily Trainham
Today is an amazingly beautiful day, friends: it's the release day for Katy Perry's brand new album, Prism! If you haven't got it yet, you should at least have plans to run to the Target after work or whatever, or at least download it on iTunes, right? It's just that you need to get it because she needs support and you need happiness in the form of pop music.
Anyway, one of the things Katy did to celebrate is a fun little Twitter Q&A session with her fans. You might remember that Lady Gaga did one of these too, it's just that hers was obnoxious and pretentious and awful while Katy's is sweet and inspiring and lovely. And no, we probably wouldn't be comparing them if Lady Gaga didn't feel the need to do so all the dang time.
But this is Katy's day, so let's see what she's got to say!
@xCallMeChrissyx I feel like it represents so many different sides of me but is the most lyrically dense/vulnerable record I've made so far.— Katy Perry (@katyperry) October 22, 2013
@LadyCrystalB I think I'm living the most present & aware I have ever lived & that made this time even better. Maybe I've finally grown up?— Katy Perry (@katyperry) October 22, 2013

Facebook has recently announced that it will end its ban on beheading videos. Within hours after announcing that it was lifting its ban, it was criticized for its new policy. This change caused such an uproar that even British Prime Minister mentioned his dismay about it.
Facebook is a private entity and if you want to utilize its platform you need to play by its rules. It creates policies to drive as much traffic to its web site as possible. The more users/eyeballs the more advertising dollars. The more advertising dollars it generates the more profits that may be sent to its stockholders. Facebook is not in the privacy and censorship business but in the digital monetization business.
Parents and politicians need to understand that Facebook was not created as a sanitary place for kids to "hang out". Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg to encourage Harvard college students to meet and interact with other college students to do "grown up things". The sooner people realize this the better.

Privacy: Questions These Celebrities Refuse To Answer
- By Bossip Staff Categories: Caught Looking Busted, Multi, News
Questions These Celebrities Won't Answer
Celebrities value their privacy. Even though many of them are tremendous attention slores, they still have desires to keep certain things private.
These celebrities refused to answer these specific questions that people are dying to know.
Rick Ross – He gets his boobies in a bunch if you bring up his P.O. days. He is very vague about it as you can imagine.
Chris Brown – He's an open book these days, but ask him anything about Rihanna a few years ago and you had it coming.
Rihanna – She is pretty open but won't go into her relationship or lack thereof with Ashton Kutcher. That's a no-no.

DHAKA: Bangladesh said yesterday it had shelved on safety grounds a planned cricket tour of Pakistan, which would have been the first by an international team since a 2009 militant attack on Sri Lanka's bus.
The two teams had been scheduled to play a Twenty20 and a one-day international on January 12 and 13 respectively, both in Lahore.
But Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan told reporters the proposed tour had been put off indefinitely amid fears over players' safety, following protests by Bangladeshis and a Facebook campaign against the visit.
Anti-Pakistan sentiment still runs strong in the country, which was part of Pakistan until 1971 when it won independence. "Bangladesh will not visit Pakistan for now. We've made the decision after considering the overall security situation in Pakistan and the concern that our people have expressed over the safety of their players," Hassan said.
"We made a commitment to visit Pakistan and it's almost mandatory for us to tour the country. But we believe safety of players and officials are of highest importance. It's a national issue."

Skip to comments.It Gets Worse: Opie And Anthony Post Alleged Raw Picture Of Weiners Penis
Posted on 06/08/2011 11:40:56 AM PDT by Qbert
What we can only assume is the worst couple of weeks in Rep. Anthony Weiners life continues. Andrew Breitbart appeared on The Opie and Anthony Show on Sirius Radio this morning in the latest stop on his I Told You So Tour and showed the hosts, Anthony Cumia and Gregg Opie Hughes a picture that he said he wouldnt release; a fully uncensored photo that purports to be of Weiners genitals. Breitbart showed the picture on his cell phone which he passed around. Unsurprisingly, the hosts quickly snapped a shot of the screen and tweeted the image out to numerous news outlets.
So, yeah, the pictures out there now.
It will be interesting to see how much this picture affects the story. After all, everyones basically already seen Weiners penis albeit covered by underwear. And the photo doesnt add any new indiscretions. However, its quite possible that seeing an actual pornographic, fully nude image will be enough to put the final nail in the coffin.
One interesting detail is that this image will not be allowed on television which means people, in all of their curiosity, will look it up online, making them more actively involved in the story. Thats something that could affect how strongly they feel about Weiner and the scandal either way.
Whatever the case, this is not a good development for Rep. Weiner.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
On Gawker if you want to see.
Kind of a lame thing for AB to do this after he said be would not show it.
Bad link.
Of course it get worse...people now know the Weener ain't all that. Oh, the tragedy.
Mediaite just pulled the link.
More info at NY Post:

"Kind of a lame thing for AB to do this after he said be would not show it."
You mean literally punch it, right?
Does that tatto say 'OBAMACARE 4EVER' ???
However this crap has gone on long enough. The "republicans" need to rip out this guys complete office right down to the sheet rock and carpet, haul it out front, set it ON FIRE and have a "weenie roast." If the little pervert communist agenda "democrat" wants to stay he can sit on the concrete floor.
with WHAT???????????????
I knew I could count on you Laz :)
Meanwhile- now that we've seen the photo are we able to bet on when he resigns? That's been my interest (other than purient) - once the photo hits the net- how soon does he resign? Will it depend on how many Congressional aides view it and find him "wanting"? What are the criteria?
Agree also
Did Brietbart show it to people thinking it was confidential and they snapped a photo that he did not know about?
Or did he show it to them and say "here- take a photo of this"
I think the first
"On Gawker if you want to see."
I'll have to avoid going to Gawker anytime soon then.
I didnt know Weiner had a cubist penis
Is that Wiener's lil sizzler?
oh, my gosh: I just noticed.
Nowhere near enough room.
Picasso would be proud.
Ah yes, the Wienis in question.
saw the real thing...it looks like he ay be a pinko
Well now that Weiner's tweeter is on full display what in the heck was that guy thinkin? You know all his good buddies in the Congress are going to be logging on for a quick peek today. I don't know how the guy can show his face on the floor of the House. After looking at that pic all you will be able to think of when you see Weiner in the future that is picture. LOL!!
He should have drawn a happy face on it and called it art.
I didn't have the guts/stomach to click on the pic.
Did anyone?

Heeeeeeeeeee's baaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAck!
Nice to see you posting "real content" again Laz.

maybe if he stuck it in a jar of olive oil he would have qualified for a grant
THANK YOU for my afternoon chuckle. Looking for a job and completing the honey-dew list has been boring.
You, sir/madam made my afternoon a bit lighter!
Does his wife even know it's IN !?!!?
Weiner needs to resign. Now.
She already hit it.
Gawker has it.
The longer Weiner stays the better. Gives the Dems something to worry about.
Kind of a lame thing for AB to do this after he said be would not show it.
I agree. And I am sick of this story but am interested in what others had to say about Breitbart's decision to take this to those idiots Opie and Anthony.
I don't think this is going to go under the "How to make your parents proud" column
It's raw? Ouch.

National Primary Drinking Water Regulations; Ground Water Rule; Notice of Data Availability
Proprosed Rule; Notice Of Data Availability.
On May 10, 2000, EPA published the proposed Ground Water Rule (GWR), a national primary drinking water regulation, in the Federal Register. The purpose of the proposed rule is to provide for increased protection against microbial pathogens in public water systems that use ground water sources. In the proposed rule, EPA presented 16 occurrence studies. Since the rule was proposed, new data have become available that further delineate pathogen and fecal indicator occurrence in groundwater. The purpose of this notice of data availability is to present additional occurrence studies that the Agency may use in performing its economic analysis of the final GWR, and to solicit comment on those additional studies and on whether EPA should consider any additional ground water microbial occurrence data not mentioned in the proposed rule or in this notice.

II. Purpose of This Document Back to Top
The purpose of this document is to present pathogen and indicator occurrence data that the Agency has become aware of since publication of the proposed GWR. EPA is considering the incorporation of the new information in the economic analysis of the final GWR.
In the proposed GWR, EPA presented 16 occurrence studies. The Agency did not use data from all of those 16 studies in developing the proposed rule because certain studies had a different scope and were not nationally representative. Since the proposal, EPA has become aware of seven additional relevant studies. Based on public comments received on the proposed GWR, the Agency has re-evaluated the 16 occurrence studies described in the proposed rule and examined the data from the seven additional new studies. Some of these seven additional studies demonstrate actual pathogen and/or fecal indicator presence in ground water at detectable levels. The Agency believes that, when considered collectively, these studies inform EPA's understanding of the national occurrence of viruses and fecal indicators and confirm that certain public ground water systems may be at risk of fecal contamination, which may pose a threat to public health.
III. Background Back to Top
A. New Occurrence Data and Information
The proposed Ground Water Rule provided summaries of 16 studies that evaluated pathogen and/or fecal indicator occurrence in U.S. ground waters (65 FR 30194). The preamble to the proposed rule discussed how EPA planned to use those studies in assessing public health risk (65 FR 30207). Table III-1 lists these 16 studies and presents updated publication dates where available and applicable. Table III-1 also lists the seven additional studies that EPA is noticing for public comment today. This section also provides a summary of the additional studies.

1. Summary of Additional Occurrence Studies
EPA is now aware of seven additional studies that provide information on pathogen occurrence in U.S. ground waters. These studies were designed to collect occurrence data for varying reasons. This section includes a summary of each study.
a. Pennsylvania Noncommunity Wells (Lindsey et al., 2002)
The purpose of this study was to measure pathogen and indicator occurrence in a random stratified sample of non-community water system (NCWS) wells in primarily carbonate aquifers and crystalline aquifers, which are hydrogeologically sensitive settings. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) (Lindsey et al. 2002) analyzed 59 samples selected from 60 NCWS wells from September 2000 to January 2001 to assess the occurrence and distribution of pathogens in ground water used for non-community water supplies and indicator organisms (evaluated as surrogates for those pathogens).
b. Microbial Indicators (Karim et al., 2003, 2004)
The overall objective of this study was to evaluate Methods 1601 and 1602, analytical procedures that test for coliphage in water samples, and to develop a useful microbial indicator for assessing the vulnerability of groundwater for viral/fecal contamination (Karim et al., 2003, 2004). Researchers selected and sampled for one year 20 ground water wells from 11 states from a previous national study (Abbaszadegan et al., 2003).
c. Southeast Michigan (Francy et al., 2004)
The purpose of this study of small (serving fewer than 3,000 people) public ground water supply wells was to assess the presence of both viral contamination and microbiological indicators of fecal contamination, relate the co-existence of indicators and enteric viruses, and consider the factors that affect the presence of enteric viruses. From July 1999 through July 2001, researchers collected a total of 169 regular samples and 32 replicate pairs in southeastern Michigan from 38 wells in discontinuous sand and gravel aquifers.
d. Validation of Methods (USEPA, 2006)
The purpose of this two-phase study was to evaluate EPA Methods 1601 and 1602 in detecting coliphages in ground water. In phase I, the data was used to further establish and quantify the performance of the methods. In phase II, the methods were applied to samples from geographically representative groundwater samples from both PWSs and private wells that were potentially vulnerable to fecal contamination.
e. La Crosse, WI (Borchardt et al., 2004)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the vulnerability of six PWS wells in La Crosse, Wisconsin to enteric virus contamination (Borchardt et al. 2004). Researchers sampled monthly for one year, analyzing for the presence of several viruses.
f. Mountain Water Company, MT (De Borde et al., 1995)
Two PWS production wells located in the Missoula aquifer were tested for the presence of enteroviruses and coliphage every month for one year. Both wells were located in unsewered residential areas.
g. New Jersey (Atherholt et al., 2003)
26 public water supply wells were sampled for a variety of fecal indicator organisms. Three wells were non-community water supplies. 69 samples were collected from the 14 ground water wells (128 samples from all wells) between June 1999 and February 2002.
IV. Request for Comment Back to Top
Through this notice of data availability, EPA solicits public comment on the seven additional studies listed and summarized in this notice. In addition to soliciting public comment on those seven studies, EPA also solicits public comment on whether EPA should consider any ground water microbial occurrence data not included in the seven studies listed and summarized in this notice or in the proposed Ground Water Rule. EPA is not soliciting public comment on any other issues at this time.

The editors of PDN present a collection of some of the most intriguing photography books we've seen this year. Check out Part 1 of our list here. You can read Part 3 of our list here.
By Ted Spagna
Foreword by Mary Ellen Mark; essays by Allan Hobson
Rizzoli New York
144 pages
$55; www.rizzoliusa.com
Starting in 1970, photographer Ted Spagna documented the mysterious tossing, turning, rolling, hunching and flailing humans do as they sleep. A student of architecture, Spagna was interested in filmmaking and directed one documentary before he began using time-lapse photography to develop sequences of images. He would place his camera near the ceiling over a bed to get what he called "a God's-eye view" of his sleeping subjects. The results are both scientific and artistic. Spagna, who died in 1989, thought his work akin to that of Eadweard Muybridge's locomotion studies, such as his sequence of images of a horse cantering. Spagna shared his time-lapse images with sleep researchers like Dr. Allan Hobson, who writes in one of the introductory essays in Sleep that Spagna's photos, which were published in National Geographic and The New York Times, "have done more than any other medium to make sleep science visible and, hence, directly understandable to the general public."
Sleep includes dozens of Spagna's sequences. It's similar to recent typological studies, which, in displaying collections of similar objects, draw our attention to the subtle differences between each photo. Spagna's subjects included infants and the elderly, couples and people who sleep alone, people in pajamas, people in their underwear, people who sleep naked, people who have flowered sheets and people whose sheets are striped. All the subjects look vulnerable and exposed, but the effect of the photos is often humorous. I particularly enjoyed the photos of people who share their beds with pets. In the sequence "Man & Dog, 1980," the latter subject takes up about one-eighth of the bed, but confines himself to one corner. However in a series such as "Harry & Cat, circa 1980," the cat will not be budged from the one spot on the bed where the human's feet would naturally rest. —Holly Stuart Hughes
WALL: Israeli and Palestinian Landscape, 2008-2012
By Josef Koudelka
Text by Gilad Baram and Ray Dolphin
120 pages; 54 duotone images
$60; www.aperture.org
Josef Koudelka's WALL is not a neutral assessment of Israel's construction of a 430-mile barrier separating Israel from the West Bank. His panoramic, black-and-white photographs of the structure and other significant landmarks, made between 2008 and 2012, are disorienting and brutal, utilizing motion blur, angled horizons and perspectives—ranging from expansive to intensely close-up—to contemplate the barrier's material and psychological effects. The captions for the images and other texts, written by researcher and writer Ray Dolphin, by and large focus on the questionable route of the wall and the hardships it's imposed on West Bank Palestinians.
The separation barrier was conceived by Israeli authorities during the second Palestinian intifada in 2002, with the stated purpose of protecting Israelis from Palestinian terrorists. According to Dolphin's text, the route of the under-construction barrier, has been revised several times amid criticism from the United Nations's International Court of Justice. The barrier deviates heavily from the "Green Line," the internationally recognized boundary between Israel and the West Bank established in 1949, and according to the UN, it violates international law.
Koudelka's view of the wall puts a snarled stack of razor wire between the viewer and an Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem. We see Palestinian children sitting near stacked oilcans that form an urban barrier dividing two sections of Hebron. Koudelka's panoramic camera takes in metal bars and concrete walls on either side of the claustrophobic Bethlehem checkpoint. In a view of the wall between the photographer and Pisgat Ze'ev settlement, dark-gray marks on the light-gray concrete walls look like sharp, jagged teeth. In an image of a highway near Bethlehem, tall, "specially designed concrete slabs" appear to bow over the roadway, protecting Israeli vehicles from the Palestinian areas on the overlooking hills. Viewers see the stumps of some of the "thousands of olive trees" that have been cut down in the West Bank because of the barrier, and look through metal gates at one of the points Palestinian farmers must pass through in order to access their land.
It's interesting to consider that for some the separation barrier must inspire a sense of security—a visual reminder of the protective watch of the state of Israel. Koudelka's images encourage viewers to consider the barrier as a manifestation of insecurity, repression and perhaps lesser human impulses. As we've all come to learn, however, the only people who matter in this debate are those on either side of the wall. —Conor Risch
The Photography of Modernist Cuisine
By Nathan Myhrvold
The Cooking Lab
312 pages; 399 color images
$120; http://modernistcuisine.com
When the six-volume cookbook Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking was released in 2011, its photography was as talked about as its recipes. The images were created as a way to celebrate modernist cooking and illustrate how the dishes were made through cutaway shots showing food being steamed, grilled and more. Now the brain behind Modernist Cuisine, Nathan Myhrvold, has published a book entirely dedicated to food imagery called The Photography of Modernist Cuisine.
The oversize book is arranged in five chapters: plants, animals, cutaways, cooking and phenomena. The images, many of which were never published in the original cookbook, are presented without captions, often as spreads and always in full color. (There is an index of all the photos in the back of the book.)
Some of the photos are macro shots of various ingredients, viewed so close they appear as if they are works of abstract art rather than a shot of a grapefruit peel or an onion skin. There are cutaways, of course, as well as images that attempt to capture the alchemy of cooking, like elemental flames.
The rich, colorful photos of ingredients and completed dishes are as "food porn-y" as it gets and Myhrvold addresses this "critique" in a short essay, called "The Cultural Phenomenon of Food Porn." He notes: "If the charge is whether I deliberately try with some of these images to 'arouse a desire to eat,' then I enthusiastically plead guilty."
But it's not all about food in this book. The last section is dedicated to how the images in the book were made. It covers everything from the cameras and lenses used to the studio setups and how the cutaways were shot (hint: they often involve sawing things like blenders, ovens and pots in half, and then holding the food in place with pins and needles).
As a lover of photography, Myhrvold wanted to take the reader behind the curtain and show the technique behind the images; as a lover of cooking, he also wanted to celebrate the "art" of food photography in all its tempting glory. With The Photography of Modernist Cuisine, he's achieved both of these goals. —Meghan Ahearn
Orchard Beach: The Bronx Riviera
By Wayne Lawrence
Essay by David Gonzalez
152 page; 95 color images
$45; www.photoeye.com
When you move to a place as extreme as New York City, you often find yourself clinging to things that rarely registered in your life before. Despite the vast array of peoples who call the city home you may grow closest to those with whom you share a common life bond: maybe they too grew up without much money, or in the South, or in a single-parent home. There is also nostalgia for the things you once took for granted, like childhood friends, or road trips, or sweet tea. So when Wayne Lawrence writes in the introduction of his first book, Orchard Beach: The Bronx Riviera, that after moving to Brooklyn, New York, he found himself drawn to bodies of water, reminiscent of how he spent his childhood in St. Kitts, I can relate. I too long for the salty air and rhythmic waves of the ocean, having spent what is now half of my life a short car ride away from the Gulf of Mexico.
Lawrence harnessed this bewitchment, found inspiration and honed his artistic vision along a strip of land called Orchard Beach in the Bronx, New York. His revealing portraits of beachgoers share so much—not just about the subjects, but the photographer as well. For it is no small feat to get people to pose for you at the beach, and you can see the comfort his subjects feel in front of his lens.
This book is a delight, from Lawrence's intensely personal foreword and the historical and culturally telling essay by David Gonzalez to the varied portraits of women, men, families and friends. Each photo elicits a new emotion: happiness at the young love shown in "Danielle and Jonathan, 2011"; admiration for the grace—literally and figuratively—in "Grace, 2009"; an appreciation for "Eddie and Angie," 2011, especially after reading about how the photographer at first thought the couple "looked hard and tough," according to Gonzalez's essay; joy at the two girls perched on their dad's lap in "Kye, Kaiya, and Kamren, 2009."
This series was borne from Lawrence's desire both to honor his brother, who was murdered in 2002, and to build a future for his son, by finding his way as an artist. But it also celebrates what makes New York City a place like no other. Though we all seek the familiar in the chaos of the unknown, Lawrence has found a kinship in the community of Orchard Beach and did the people proud by celebrating who they truly are—and nothing is more beautiful than that. —Meghan Ahearn
Holy Bible
By Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin
718 pages; 614 color images
$80; www.photoeye.com
In their Deutsche Börse Photography Prize-winning book War Primer 2, the photographers-turned-curators Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin updated Bertolt Brecht's War Primer, the German poet and playwright's 1955 critique of war mongering in the press, by covering the press clippings Brecht had collected with recent images from the War on Terror. Now the duo has applied their scrapbooking technique to another book about violence and bloodshed: the Bible (specifically, the King James Version).
On the outside, Holy Bible looks like a typical Bible. Inside, Broomberg and Chanarin have placed on certain pages photos (found in the Archive of Modern Conflict) depicting suffering, disaster or the tools of oppression: a pile of bodies at a concentration camp, a tsunami washing ashore, a dead child under rubble, police dragging a protester from Egypt's Tahrir Square.
As in previous books, their aim here is political. Broomberg and Chanarin were inspired by "Divine Violence," an essay (pasted into the back of the book) by Israeli philosopher Adi Ophir. Ophir notes, as others have, that in the Bible, God demonstrates his power first by unleashing devastation—plagues, the razing of cities, the slaughter of children—and then through the threat of violence or the promise of salvation. Ophir argues that this model of governance has been adopted by the modern state, which in our time has become the primary agent of destruction or rescue. His note that "images of a destructive violence that encompasses the whole world … are still part of our collective memory and political imagination" provides the jumping off point for Broomberg and Chanarin. Many of the images they select document how states wield awesome power; others show us the terrifying things that inspire us to seek the state's protection.
The question they raise is arresting. Do news photos of frightening events serve the ends of political entities that achieve power either through intimidation or by promising to protect us from what we fear? I've spent days puzzling over Holy Bible, and I'm still not sure if their use of the Bible helps them make this provocative point, or distracts from it.
Call me a prickly Christian, but while it's easy to find bewildering destruction in the Bible, I think Broomberg and Chanarin's slant demands selective attention, focusing on vengeance over mercy, the flood rather than the rainbow God places in the sky. Images of acrobatic stunts and magicians performing magic tricks appear on almost every page in which a chapter begins with the words "and it came to pass." That's a clever, witty way to undermine any divine or magical import they have read into that portentous-sounding phrase, but it gives a strange emphasis to a literary catchphrase; more modern Bible translations rendered the phrase simply as "now" or dropped it altogether. It's a welcome reminder in these days of fundamentalist arguments that every interpretation of the meaning of scripture has been influenced by the times, culture and circumstance of the reader.
The Bible isn't solely concerned with the acts of an omnipotent deity. The stories of its human characters are peppered with specific details about the meals they ate, the crops they grew, how they gave water to their camels, how many fig cakes and clusters of raisins were needed to feed an army. Broomberg and Chanarin mirror this mix of the mighty and the mundane by interspersing images of horror with stock shots of flowers, goldfish and a mother with a baby; medical photos; beefcake nudes; a photo of a woman crouching on a toilet seat to urinate; couples kissing.
I'm not sure how these images relate to Broomberg and Chanarin's critique of power. The book includes several holiday snapshots that seem banal, except the smiling subjects are wearing Nazi uniforms. Do the other photos of smiling subjects also hide some evil? Are they metaphors for the Bible's mysterious selection of the saved and the damned? Or are these images of seemingly happy people, like the documents of news events, also propping up power structures? Who is being criticized here: the creators of images that serve as propaganda, or the viewers who are oblivious to their insidious influence?
Poring over the pages of Holy Bible feels like wandering in the dominion of a wrathful Old Testament God. I'm not sure who is being judged or why, but I know I don't feel worthy. —Holly Stuart Hughes
Emmet Gowin
By Emmet Gowin
Text by Keith Davis and Carlos Gollonet
Fundación Mapfre (in association with Aperture)
240 pages; 180 duotone images
$65; www.aperture.org
"My age now is 25 and I have been photographing for almost six years. From the beginning I wanted to make pictures so potent that I would not need to say anything about them": This is how Emmet Gowin began the artist's statement for his graduate thesis project in 1967.
He went on to a career producing images full of beauty, mystery and spirituality. Fundación Mapfre mounted a retrospective of Gowin's work in Madrid earlier this year, and issued this catalogue with the richly reproduced images. The book includes much analysis, at times over-wrought. But it also includes the transcript of a talk Gowin gave in 2009 when he retired from teaching at Princeton University after 36 years. What he had to say was engaging, insightful and inspiring.
The catalogue traces the full arc of his career, starting with his earliest images of his wife and muse, Edith, and her extended family in Danville, Virginia. Gowin's artistic collaboration with his wife is at the root of all of his work. It was through Edith that he found his voice as an artist, and he had her in mind when he concluded the 1967 artist's statement by writing, "For me, pictures provide a means of holding, intensely, a moment of communication between one human and another."
He turned from his "single-minded" exploration of Edith and her family to landscape photography by the late 1970s. The deaths of some elderly members of Edith's family had led Gowin to appreciate their deep connection to the land. "'Working Landscapes' is an idea centered on the condition that we are a living part of nature ourselves, and that our structuring of the landscape can either nurture or destroy the landscape," Gowin explained in the 2009 speech.
He photographed in Italy, Jordan, Turkey and Ireland as well as the American West. His Mount St. Helens project "is something I just simply fell into," Gowin says. (None of his projects were intentional, and he has plenty to say about the importance in art of instinct.) By then Mount St. Helens had been documented ad nauseum as a natural disaster. But Gowin saw the mountain almost as a living being—and the eruption and its aftermath as a parable of life and rebirth.
The Mount St. Helens work led to his aerial landscapes, showing the effects of mining, agriculture, development and other human activities on large swaths of land. Most striking, perhaps, are his strangely beautiful photographs of the Nevada Test Site, cratered by hundreds of nuclear explosions over the years. After three trips to photograph the site, he said, "I had learned as much about sadness as I could afford to know."
By then he had already started traveling to Ecuador on a friend's invitation to see the forests "and look for insects." That was in the late 1990s; Gowin ended up spending a decade studying tropical biology, and photographing moths in Panama, Ecuador and Bolivia. "Almost as an afterthought," he says, he took a small tracing of Edith's silhouette with him. "Perhaps it would be useful in blocking the UV light" if he tried to catch a moth's line of flight, he figured. The result "was not really strange to me, but I was not prepared for the vividness and energy of its force," Gowin wrote in 2006. "I was in her presence and she was in mine; no memory from our whole lifetime together seemed obscure. There is, even in your shadow, if I may borrow Rilke's phrase, blood memory, blood remembering."
The images alone are worth the price of this book. The bonuses are the stories by Gowin, the insight he offers about how he learned to see like an artist, and the advice and inspiration he offers to all aspiring artists. —David Walker

Also, for those calling into question my "will" to grind or whatever, I am happily grinding my way to Twilight. I have over 300 ectos in the bank, 90g (spent ~60g on random junk including stuff on Halloween), a fair amount of materials for Might/Magic gifts (>40 of each T6 mat, 250 C. Dust, 250 Ancient Bones), most of my Ascalonian Tears, 100 Ori Ingots, already spent 10g for Gift of Metal recipe *and* crafted it (250x Ori Ingot, Mithril Ingot, Platinum Ingot, Darksteel Ingot), and over 300k karma stored and another 100k in Jugs, plus 60k spent on Obisidian Shards, as well as 21 Mystic Clovers.
I can and do grind just fine. I still don't want to do the *ing Fractals of the Mist for 25 hours to get ONE component for ONE item out of 12+ items I'm eventually going to need.

WASHINGTON – Veterans Affairs officials are looking to Craigslist for answers to their customer service problems.
No, not in the "men seeking corporate administrators" section.
The VA Center for Innovation last week tapped site founder Craig Newmark as their new "nerd in residence," with the goal of "pursuing creative ways to bolster a customer service culture and capability."
It's a volunteer position, but one that extends Newmark's existing relationship with the bureaucracy. He has been a voice on military and veterans issues in recent years, and a supporter of VA efforts in reducing the disability claims backlog.
Newmark said he would rate VA's customer service right now as "remarkably good," an opinion not shared by many of the department's critics.
Veterans advocates have blasted the department in recent months for lacking clear, trackable timelines for case processing and frustrating inefficiency with many of their customer service hot lines.
The Center for Innovation boasts 135 new project ideas in recent years, many through internal and external competitions. Newmark hopes his 18 years of customer service expertise will generate a few more key fixes.
He said the department's goal should be improve both the information they put out and the manner in which they do it.
"Above all, treat people like you want to be treated," he said.

By now, you've probably noticed that Big Bird costumes are sold out across the nation, thanks to Mitt Romney's comments about the "Sesame Street" character in the first presidential debate. Unless you're willing to fork over $100 on eBay, you're stuck making this Halloween costume.
The good news is there are plenty of other ways to show your presidential pride, not just in Big Bird form but by combining all the zingers that came out of the three debates, including Romney's odd phrase in the second debate about "binders full of women," and the "horses and bayonets" President Obama mentioned in the third debate in reference to the country's evolved military.
Mix and match the following five ideas. Some are so easy you don't even need a video tutorial.

Breakfast, brunch and lunch are the high points at this family-run cafe in Central Point. Named after the two palm trees sitting adjacent to its front windows, The Palms Cafe offers American-style dishes that appeal to so many denizens of the Rogue Valley.
Managed by proprietor Bobbi Misner, the breakfast and lunch spot opened in late 2011 at 501 S. Front St., Central Point, in the former site of El Albinil Mexican restaurant.
Misner and her children moved to the Rogue Valley from Tonopah, Nev., where she owned a similar establishment.
Out on a long errand early on a Sunday afternoon, I dashed into the cafe for something quick to eat. I was thinking of a burger before I saw the long list of classic sandwiches on the menu.
French dip, Philly, BLT Monte Cristo, grilled cheese, tuna or turkey melts, they're all there, along with an array of hand-pressed Angus beef burgers. And they're all served with either fries, potato salad or cole slaw. I fancied the Club Sandwich ($8.49) and a pile of french fries. My order was served in a jiffy, with the fries still piping hot. Even better, Misner had fry sauce on hand when I asked for it.
Later in the week, I coerced a co-worker to join me for lunch at The Palms. I tried the grilled chicken salad ($8.99), and he ordered one of the burgers ($7.99 to $9.99). There were some nice touches, such as fresh micro-greens in my salad and the burger's hand-pressed beef patty.
Yet the meals disappointed us. The skimpy amount of chicken on the salad was not fresh. I'd happily wait for something freshly grilled. And there was an equally skimpy amount of fries served with the burger.
All the same, I'll probably return for an omelette or some other comfort food on the breakfast menu.
Check out the cafe's sandwich of the month at www.facebook.com/thepalmscafe and vote for your favorite.
The Palms Cafe is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day. Call 541-664-9301.

Adequate staging was defined as including a lymphogram and staging laparotomy for stage I to III and a positive bone marrow or liver biopsy or other evidence of diffuse involvement of extralymphatic tissues for stage IV. Adequate treatment was defined as subtotal lymphoid irradiation for pathologic stages I to MA; total lymphoid irradiation for stages IIB to IIIA; and chemotherapy with or without irradiation for stages IIIB to IV. Twenty-four patients (46%) had advanced disease (IIIB to IV). Those patients who received appropriate treatment had a median survival of only 39 months. Of the 28 patients with limited disease (I to IIIA), 15 had laparotomy and adequate treatment. Thirteen did not have a laparotomy and 7 were treated with involved-field irradiation. The 5-year survival rate in the laparotomy-staged and adequately treated group was 86%, but in the clinically staged group, only 35% (p = 0.006).
