Dave & Dave Strange Pennsylvania
WQED's Dave & Dave find the unusual in Pennsylvania
PITTSBURGH – There are a lot of great places and events in Pennsylvania, and there are a lot of strange places and events that happen to be great. WQED's Telly Award-winning Dave Hallewell and Dave Rhodes (Dave & Dave) scour the Commonwealth and find all sorts of magical people, places and things that make the Keystone State someplace special in Strange Pennsylvania with Dave & Dave, airing in high-definition (HD) on WQED-TV on Thursday, September 25 at 8pm.
Dave & Dave are hosts of WQED Pittsburgh's high-rated program, Dave & Dave's Excellent Adventures, seen every Saturday night at 10:30 on WQED-TV. They also travel the state and produce "docu-comedy" specials like Eat Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania's Offbeat Museums that uncover hidden gems from Erie to Philadelphia and all points in between.
In Strange Pennsylvania, Dave & Dave travel the highways and by-ways of Pennsylvania for a fast moving hour of fun stops including:
Blobfest in Phoenixville – Every July, owners of the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville stage a weekend called "Blobfest" – a celebration of the classic horror film, The Blob, and also the location where the climax from the 1958 shocker was filmed. The weekend of offbeat festivities culminates with a re-enactment of the movie's pivotal scenes and includes a lot of screaming.
The Caboose Motel in Titusville – For a truly unique lodging experience, it's a hotel made up entirely of railroad caboose cars.
Gravity Hill in New Paris – Cars going downhill and rolling backwards. Is it a natural phenomenon or something else?
Lawn Mower Racing in Butler County – It's just like any other kind of racing, except it's with lawn tractors. The Shadetree Speedway features the adrenaline of NASCAR and the nicest grass this side of Kentucky.
Archbald Pothole State Park in Lackawanna County – A state park containing the world's largest pothole where even PennDOT fears to tread.
Land of Little Horses in Gettysburg – The Civil War battlefield gets all the attention, but like the name suggests, this is a magical land of little horses.
Ringing Rocks Park in Bucks County – Boulders big and small populate this unusual park, but there's a twist. When the rocks are hit with a hammer, they ring like bells.
Wiener Dog Races in Pittsburgh – It's the Kentucky Derby for dogs of the short-legged variety – the "Wiener 100" at Kennywood Park, one of the country's oldest amusement parks.
Mutter Museum in Philadelphia – A museum of medical oddities that was founded to educate future doctors about anatomy and human medical anomalies.
Dunkel's Gulf Gas Station in Bedford – An old-fashioned gas station that was designed by an architect who specialized in churches. This gas station looks like an Egyptian temple and it's one of the last of its kind.
Back Yard Castle in New Milford – Most people have hobbies like stamp collecting, bowling or knitting, but for one Pennsylvania man, it's a nine-room, hand-built castle in his backyard.
Dinosaurs in Erie – Find out why one Erie home has a yard crawling with giant dinosaurs and elephants.
Read Between the Signs in Meadville - In Meadville along Route 322, there is a unique art project going on just outside the PennDot building. Since 2002, students from Allegheny College and other universities have been erecting a 1,200 foot fence made entirely out of recycled road signs. And it has to be seen to be believed.
Strange Pennsylvania with Dave & Dave is made possible with a grant from the Pennsylvania Public Television Network (PPTN). PPTN is an independent, bipartisan commission that provides leadership and accountability in guiding, supporting, and advocating public telecommunications to educate, enlighten, inspire and connect the citizens of the Commonwealth.
WQED Pittsburgh, honored with the 2007 and 2006 Mid-Atlantic Emmy Award for Station Excellence and 12 other Emmy Awards, was founded in 1954 as the nation's first community-supported broadcaster. WQED creates, produces and distributes quality programs, products and services to engage, inform, educate and entertain the public within its community and around the world. WQED Pittsburgh is one of the first broadcasters in the country to be fully high-definition (HD) in its studio and field production capabilities. It is the parent company of WQED-TV (PBS); WQED-DT; WQED: The Neighborhood Channel; WQED-HD; WQEX-TV (A ShopNBC affiliate); WQED-FM 89.3/Pittsburgh; WQEJ-FM 89.7/Johnstown; a publishing division that includes PITTSBURGH magazine; local and national television and radio productions; WQED Interactive (www.wqed.org); and The WQED Education Department.

Lighten up on the fat.
There is a growing trend on these boards with all of the Peatians and hi-carbers here these days, but it has really gotten me to reanalyze what I am doing with my diet. Posters like Zach and YogaBare got me rethinking my fat consumption.
**As a note: Any failures with my diet are from me, not a reflection of the general primal diet. This isn't me trying to fix my primal diet, I am just trying to see what the commonalities are in my weight history. My version of paleo is a loose and poor reflection of the true purpose. This isn't scientific and is an N- of 1**
I will break up my history in to roughly five periods:
1. "Husky boy": Age 14-18
Average weight: 205lbs
Exercise of choice: Swimming
I ate a typical SAD diet, with a large amount of milk consumption (~a gallon of 1% a day). I am 6'4 and 4 inches taller than my father, so I attribute some of my growth to this. I was on the varsity swim team, so I would swim 5,000+ yards a day for around 1/2 the year, and sit around and drink Mountain Dew the other 1/2. I was always skinny fat and weak, despite swimming. Never liked myself shirtless. Could never do a pull up.
2. "Freshman 50": Age 18-20
Average weight: 260lbs
Exercise of choice: Walking
Things got bad in college. Despite walking everywhere, I stopped any other form of exercise. I ate in the cafeteria, focusing on chicken nuggets, sandwiches topped with chips, and fries. Still drank a lot of soda, but less than in high school. Exchanged it with chocolate milk and apple juice. Drank plenty of mixed alcohols during this time too.
3. "Something's got to give: Enter Vegan boy": Age 20-21
Average Weight: 195lbs
Exercise of choice: Running
I was feeling pretty low about myself one night and decided to look at diet books on amazon. The one that caught my eye was Rip Esselstyn's The Engine 2 Diet. The diet is "plant-based" and focuses on keeping fats low, no refined sugars (so whole grains), low sodium, and avoiding all animal products. Within 6 months I lost 60lbs and went from 260lbs --> 210lbs, and a XXL shirt to a medium (which looked stupid on me since I am tall). It had completely changed my life, I gained the confidence to date girls and take off my shirt at work as a lifeguard.
My diet was heavily grain and soy based, with an average day looking like:
8am: Soy latte with Agave syrup, bowl of whole grain organic cereal with soymilk
10am: Fruit to snack on
Noon: low fat bean soup, whole grain pita, hummus, veggies
2pm: Second latte (this is where the financial aid went), some whole grain snack
6pm: Whole wheat pasta/brown rice with garlic and balsamic vinegar, bowl of whole grain organic cereal with soymilk
The diet was very low fat/ low protein/ high carb. In addition to this, I ran 5x a week (although never further than a 5k). I was able to do 2 pullups at my peak. I was still very weak despite losing weight.
4: "Vegan-ish": Age 21-22
Average weight: 210lbs (low of 185lbs)
Exercise of choice: Rowing machine
After about a year of following the E2 diet, I was at 190lbs and started adding in a little olive oil and organic fish and leaned out further. However, I also turned 21 and started drinking more again. Five nights a week I would go out, and I'd drink a few craft beers every night. I'd also occasionally get something like orange chicken or dairy. I also ate much more simple grains, and less organic foods. A muffin here, a bagel there. The weight started to creep back on
5: "The lazy caveman": Age 22-23 (current)
Weight: 240lbs (range of 215-250lbs)
Exercise of choice: Powerlifting
Last summer I discovered primal, and like any idiot I started it by taking the parts I liked (bacon/steak) and still keeping my other fixes. It went pretty well until January of this year, when I tried to "bulk" up via Starting Strength. I ate everything I could until April, even getting McDonalds regularly for fear that if I didn't eat enough I'd miss my next lift. This got me up to 250lbs quickly, and I caught myself before I further hurt myself.
In April I cleaned up my diet to a mostly primal one. I upped my butter consumption by quite a bit, and started focusing on fats. I also upped my veggie intake, and kept reducing carbs lower. Despite being heavier, I am also now stronger than ever and my testosterone is at an all time high.
After two months of minimal improvements and lesser gains in the gym, I decided to try VLC for a month (under 50g/day) to reach ketosis. Interestingly, my energy was steady but low and I never really felt right. Any additional focus I gained seemed to be temporary from the MCT's in the coconut oil. Additionally, I dropped maybe a few lbs in the month, and never seemed to shake my craving for milk and fruit.
What's it all mean?
If you read all the way to here, you made it through the ramblings and I apologize. This was one of those posts that quickly got longer than I had planned.
There is no definitive answer in the experience that has been my past few years, but I am now encouraged to re-evaluate my diet. I don't think the secret to the vegan diet was being vegan as much as it was avoiding fats and refined carbohydrates.
I think the next step is that I am going to try a diet much more like the one Ray Peat's recommendations, and re-evaluate where I am at. High amounts of dairy, fruits/juices, and low PUFA's. Low to moderate amounts of fat from MCT and some other saturated sources. We'll see if it does anything with my current plateau's, and allows me to reach my goal of roughly ~225lbs and less than 15% body fat.
Anyone have a similar experience, or history with food?
Lighten up on the fat.
After sitting on this for a while, I realized how random this is. In order to keep it shorter, I kept a few of my observations out, but I have been thinking more and more about a few things regarding High fat vs High carb:
1. Carbs are supposed to leave you hungry, and fats are supposed to be very satiating. However, when I was ketogenic I could eat unlimited amounts of fats, I never felt fully satisfied (just had digestive issues). For example, I recently just cooked up a great 1.5lb steak in a huge amount of kerrygold butter. It was very satisfying and I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I ate the entire thing and the remaining butter and felt I could keep going. It had to have been over 1k+ calories. Comparitively, the other day I ate an entire Cantaloupe in one sitting. I was satisfied for hours, and got a euphoric "high" off of just ~50g carbs (or 200 calories).
2. In addition to that, I find that I can over do fats easier than other whole foods. I drank nearly a half gallon of Heavy Whipping Cream from Horizon in nearly a week when ketogenic, probably a contributor to my little weight lost in that month.
Calorie intake. For some people, eating primal/paleo causes a spontaneous reduction in caloric intake. When it doesn't, people gain weight or don't lose any weight. It's a pretty simple concept. No matter what combination of macronutrients or types of foods that you decide to eat, you must be in a caloric deficit to lose weight.
Edit: in addition, it seems that you've changed your exercise preference as well, which certainly had a large impact on your daily energy expenditure.

My nutrition/fitness/critical thinking blog:
There is a shift in the tide
Make America Great Again
First, there is a whole range of eating between getting almost all your nutrients from carbs to going lower than 50 carbs. I know that moderation is sometimes a dirty word around here, but really, it's virtually impossible that all of us would feel the same way on a prescribed percentage of macros.
As to the weight thing, I think you were probably eating a whole lot fewer calories as a vegan. The food is terrible, so why eat too much of it? That's just me though - I'd rather eat a rubber band than brown rice.
I also think it's misleading to tell anyone who has issues with weight that if they just eat ____________, they can eat all they want. It's just not true for some of us. I was a chubby kid also, and I will have to watch what I eat for the rest of my life. Lower carb reduces my hunger, but added fat does not. You need to find what works for you. If eating grains keeps you happy, slim, and healthy, maybe that's what you should do.
Calories matter for weight. How you get those calories matters for health.
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
Why use THE PRIMAL BLUEPRINT FORUM to discuss Ray Peat and his follower's RIVER OF SHIT. More appropriate forums out there for that.
My nutrition/fitness/critical thinking blog:
The answer to your question is dietary individuation. You feel and function better on a higher carb diet. I would avoid the grains and soy you ate before, but definitely try eating more fruits and tubers. Don't avoid fat entirely, but there's no need to derive 60% of your calories from fat. Coconut makes a great fat source, as MCTs are metabolized differently from other saturated fats.
On a related note, I'd be curious to find out how long you were VLC and how strict you were. Those who recommend VLC, ketosis, and low-carb in general will usually tell you that you need to commit for around month before you see results. If you don't see results from high-carb/low-fat, it might be something to consider.

Sandy Shells Beach Vase

You don't need to leave your memories at the beach; take them home with you to decorate a DIY centerpiece. This vase can show off all of the seashells and sand that you collected on your last fun family vacation.
- Candle
- Vase
- Seed beads
- 24 gauge wire
- Mod Podge
- Water
- Plastic Wrap
- Jewelry Pliers
- Scoop
- Funnel
- A chopstick
- Sand dollars
- Shells
- Sand
I mixed equal parts modpodge and water so I wouldn't end up with a thick, sticky coating. I dipped the sand dollars in and laid them to dry on the plastic wrap for several hours.
Next, I took the wire and wrapped a piece around the top of the candle glass, just tight enough to fit uner the top rim. I twisted the ends together and used the round tip of the jewlery pliers to turn the ends under together a couple of times. I then took 3 inch pieces of wire and fed a few beads, a shell, and a few more beeds onto it. I then fed one end of the wire under the wire around the candle and twisted the two ends together. Then, used the pliers again to make a loop. I used the shells with holes and the sand dollars for this decoration.
I then placed the candle inside the vase.
I then used the funnel and scoop to put the sand around the candle.
As I dropped the shells into the vase, I used the chopstick to arrange them. And that was it!

Awesome Awesome Awesome! Amazing file! Good luck.
Wow! Glad you like it that much charlie4282! Thanks very much!
You're on a tear lately! Do you sleep??
Great work – reminds me of the old iPod – know what I mean?
@dantehicks! haha! Good one mate, I do get plenty of sleep! Thank you for your nice words, much appreciated! And now that you mention it, yes, it does look a little like the old iPod, I didn't think of that! Haha! Thanks again mate! Follow me if you want the latest updates! This is not the tear. The tear is coming soonish! I'll be posting updates on my facebook page!
Awesome love it. Really innovative and different! Will definitively be purchasing this soon and looking forward to using it. WOW
I hope you keep developing these kind of awesome mobile themes.
Thank you
Hey there marksupurs! This was the first of it's kind! Now I know how to work with these on mobiles so more will surely come! Thank you very much for your kind words! Much appreciated!
nice unique theme!
Thank you designesia! Much appreciated!
Update released: 23rd May 2012The PHP files for the contact form have been added in the main archive. If you purchased this template before the 23rd of May 2012, please re-download it, and just copy the php folder to your project! Your customization will not be affected!
Love the theme. But i'm missing a login page, a table and some form elements.
Would love to see this implemented.
Falecto this is a template, not an admin page. It already has form elements in the contact page. Tables are not a good idea! I'm revamping my tables system. Maybe in other templates, but not in this one.
nice work mate…just a question, will this work in a blackberry browser; I mean would it look as good as on the iphone?? thanks and keep the good work.
Hey there chel0 It will work on any device even if it doesn't have drag because the icons can be tapped (clicked) as well!
I love it! I'm trying to make the slider gallery start automatically to use as a news feed/advertising tool made out of small pictures with hyperlinks in the name taghttps://dl.dropbox.com/u/9947766/code.PNG
Could you please point me to the right direction of the css file that I need to edit in order to make the window move automatically after 3 seconds? thank you
The slider only works in manual mode. The API for the slider can be found here and there is documentation on how to set it to auto on the page I just linked! The file you need to edit is custom.js, there is a line that mentions #slider. Should be very high up in the code lines, right at the beginning.
Thank you!! That did it, just changed "this.delay = this.options.auto || 4000;" and it now works, and it f*cking beautiful, you're an artist!!!
RyuuichiNaruhodou, happy to see you so excited an satisfied with this template! Please don't forget to rate the file 5 stars from your downloads menu! It really helps a lot!
congrats!! Awesome Template.
I would like to know if this template will work on Android devices too. You say "Anything that has a resolution between 320 and 800, basically all the modern smartphones. " Will it show correctly on smaller resolutions ???
Hey there ipomonis! Thank you for your purchase. It works on almost all devices with a width resolutions over 320 pixels and no bigger than 800. It works on almost everything. I mentioned it works on android in the FAQ 's!
Doesn't work on blackberry curve 9300. It shows the notice for keeping device in portrait mode. The screen resolution is 320×240, so it should be fine. All other pages works nicely!
Maybe there is some kind of bug or solution to fix this?
Anyway this is a great design.
240 height is not supported. The absolute minimum resolution supported is 320×480 as shown in the preview image and the faq. Your deviece is not supported due to the fact that portrait/landscape modes are the other way around. Plus the device doesnt support touch.
Possible to embed youtube video? Instead of images? Please let me know. If difficult, please tell me that too! Thanks!
You can embed videos. As long as you keep the same class as the image for the video it should be pretty easy!
Hi, sorry to bother you again, is there a way to invert the function of the button at the top? so that the menu is always showing and whenever I press it the menu goes away? I'ts just that the users of the site where I used your template are complaining that they didn't know that there was a top bar (dumb people, but the site is for them so..yeah)
I really love this template design, its awesome! How can I change this into an app on iPhone??
As in an App on the Appstore?
An app that is available via the Appstore…
Well, either build it using XCode or custom code it in Objective-C! The item must have your content in it, and you also require an extended license from ThemeForest!
can you send me the script for the redirect to my mobile page
Please visit our support page and click the redirect icon!
Hi i just purchased your awesome theme.?am working in asp.net mvc framework i want to use jquery mobile panel control.But when i install jqm 1.4.2 the isnt works correctly.I wonder is it fully compatible with jqm?
Hey there, and thank you for your purchase! jQuery Mobile is simply a library, importing it correctly should have no effect on the template. Import the jQuery Mobile library as requested on the jQuery Mobile page, right after the main jQuery library is called in. That should make it work properly! Apologies for the late reply, we've just updated our hardware and we're back up running!

Summit man gets 2 years probation for setting fires
A 21-year-old Summit Township man must serve two years of probation and 75 hours of community service for setting fires at a training tower for the Perry Hi-Way Hose Co. a year ago.
The defendant, Richard S. Decker, also must pay $6,040 in restitution, along with his juvenile co-defendant, according to court records.
Erie County President Judge Ernest J. DiSantis Jr. sentenced Decker on Tuesday after Decker pleaded guilty to reduced charges -- the second-degree misdemeanor of criminal mischief and the summary of dangerous burning.
State police originally charged Decker, of the first block of Applewood Road, with the second-degree felonies of arson and conspiracy to commit arson and the third-degree felonies of criminal mischief and institutional vandalism.
The District Attorney's Office dropped the conspiracy and vandalism charges and reduced the other charges.
No one was injured in the May 14 fires at Perry Hi-Way's training tower off Robison Road. Police accused Decker and the juvenile, a boy then 16, of intentionally starting fires on the first, second and fourth floors of the tower. The tower is concrete, but fire damaged items inside.
Decker had no prior record and cooperated with police, which contributed to the plea deal, said his lawyer, Paul Susko.

In political life there is a fate worse than death and taxes—and almost as inevitable: losing an election. For three-term U.S. Senator Gay lord Nelson, 64, the grim reaper came last fall, when be lost his Wisconsin seat to Republican Robert W. Kasten Jr. by a slim 40,000 votes (out of 2.2 million cast). For Nelson, a staunch liberal Democrat, it was an abrupt end to a political career spanning 32 years in office and 11 elections, including three successful campaigns for the Wisconsin State Senate and two for governor. Though stunned by his "great disappointment," Nelson is now recovering with the help of a $30,000 government pension—and a new job keeping him in Washington as the salaried director of the Wilderness Society, a 55,000-member national conservation group. It was a natural choice for Nelson, long the Senate's foremost environmentalist and the founding father of Earth Day. Recently, after a month in his new post, in which be finds himself in the sometimes awkward position of cajoling his old colleagues, Nelson discussed with PEOPLE'S Clare Crawford-Mason how be has come to live with his political defeat
Nobody likes to take a licking. When you've run for office 11 times, you've gone through the discipline 11 times of saying you're making as hard a fight as you can make but you might lose it. You've sort of steeled yourself to face up to the possibility of defeat. Still, after 32 years of doing what you most love to do in life, it's a substantial shock to face up to.
I felt all along this was a tough year. Even though three weeks before the election the Milwaukee Journal and the Milwaukee Sentinel showed me with 20 percentage point leads, I saw there were 14, 15 percent undecided, and I could anticipate a possibility of defeat. I thought the odds were against it, and they were. But then it fell apart after the President's debate with Mr. Reagan. You could feel it happen. At 10:30 election night, when I was carrying Milwaukee only 56-44, I knew it was all over. I was with my wife, Carrie Lee, my three children and eight or 10 friends. It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning when I was absolutely certain, and then I just said, "This is it, it's all over, we're defeated." There weren't any tears, and people went to bed about three o'clock. I thought it was particularly important to have the kids and family together then. Everybody did well, and I was proud of them.
You know, I've wanted to be in politics since the time my dad, a country doctor in northwestern Wisconsin, took me to hear Bob La Follette speak from the back of a train. I was 8 or 9 years old at the time. I remember I didn't understand the speech, but the gestures and the noise were impressive and on the way back my dad asked me whether I wanted to be in politics. I said yes, but that I was afraid by the time I grew up Bob La Follette would settle all the problems and there would be nothing for me to do. Thirty years later: in 1958, my dad was at the state Democratic convention in La Crosse. He was 81 years old, and he had a stroke that night, and I was a gubernatorial candidate and the keynote speaker. The last words he said to me were, "Do you think young Bob La Follette left enough problems behind for you to solve?" Since I was a boy I had dreamed about being in the U.S. Senate, but I never thought it would happen. And then it did.
So I've said to hell with the disappointment. It's in the past. I've had a marvelous career, I've enjoyed what I've done, and there's no reason to be fussing and worrying about what's past. When I lost, I did not permit myself to mope around about it. If you do that you're just eating away at yourself and spoiling your life. You have to say it's over with, and look into the future. Since I got the opportunity to get into the environmental field, which I had spent a political career on anyway, it hasn't been a big problem for me. I'm enjoying what I'm doing. I love it.
Of course it's different now. When I'm up on Capitol Hill and I see old friends in the Senate, I think it would be fun to be involved in the fight. Every time I've been over there when a roll call bell rings, all of a sudden I'm alerted to think that they're calling me, when the fact is, they aren't.
My staff people faced a shocker when I lost the election. They came to the Hill because they loved politics, and suddenly there are thousands like them around this town, and there aren't that many openings. I've tried to help with recommendations and telephone calls. That part is very troubling to me because, after all, I was lucky. There was no financial problem. My wife and I are pretty conservative and always save some money. And neither of us will miss invitations to the White House or embassies. They're the most boring events that anybody ever contrived. So are those obligatory dinners in the state where the senator is the guest of honor: three speakers, finally they introduce you at 10 o'clock at night, then you speak, and you've shot four or five hours, to say nothing of the time getting there and leaving, and it turns out to have been the 20th event by the same economic interest group around the state that year, and they're all the same. I won't have to go through that again.
Unfortunately, a large amount of the work of a U.S. senator has nothing to do with legislating. You're meeting every day with the state delegations that staff people could just as easily see. There are too many roll calls—600 one year, a tremendous waste of time. You also spend too much time running back to your state. The public demand to show yourself makes it impossible for a legislator to give serious thought to important issues.
But I miss the Senate. I love the legislative process and I love the participation in decision making, as who wouldn't? I've been involved in the biggest issues of the past 18 years—the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Vietnam war, Earth Day and Watergate, and all the foreign policy and domestic issues. It's been a challenge and it's been fun.
You always wonder after a defeat whether you might have done more, campaigned harder, spent a little more time at it. But politics is such an all-consuming business that you must set some limits on how much you're going to do. I suppose it's becoming a job in which everybody ought to be single: Your constituents will be your family and you'll just be at it all day and all night, Saturdays and Sundays. But if that's the case, I'd say to hell with it, I'd give up the job before I'd be consumed by it and have no time for my family at all. My only regret is I didn't have more time with my kids as they were growing up.
For 18 years my wife has been going to the theater with friends or alone. Not long ago I told her we'll start going to the Kennedy Center together. Another thing: I've had a garden every year. The problem was that the Senate usually recesses in August, and when everything was coming into fruition, I'd be back in Wisconsin and the damn garden would turn into a weed bed. The time it needed attention, I wasn't there. Well, this year, I won't be gone, and instead of being beautiful for just June and July, that garden is going to be beautiful in August.

text: WEST MICHIGAN -- A telephone scam calls on people's sense of civic duty. According to the FBI website, the scammer claims to be an officer of the local court and tells victims they have failed to report for jury duty and a warrant has been issued for their arrest. The scammer asks for victim's Social Security number, birth date and sometimes a credit card number to verify court records and rescind the arrest warrant. According to snopes.com, the Urban Legends reference website, court employees would not ask for personal information. It advises to never give out personal information in phone calls you have not initiated and always examine bank and credit card statements for charges you did not make.

Why won't my Washing Machine pump but not spin during spin cycle?
What would cause my Kenmore 70 Series washer to make a chattering noise and not spin?
Is this a good question?
What would cause my Kenmore 70 Series washer to make a chattering noise and not spin?
Is this a good question?
If your washer pumps out the water but doesn't spin, check these:
The lid switch may be defective. If it is, the washing machine doesn't spin. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it.
The motor coupler may be broken. Many Whirlpool®-manufactured washers use a small, relatively inexpensive motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. You may need to replace it.
A belt may be broken. Many washing machines have one or two belts. If a belt is broken or badly worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer. (Some washing machine belts are designed with special characteristics not found in automotive belts.)
The clutch may be worn. If your washer is a GE, it may use a clutch to come up to the proper spin speed. As the clutch wears out, it may prevent the unit from spinning well or at all. If the clutch is worn, you need to replace it. For this job, you probably want to hire a qualified appliance repair technician.
The drive motor may be defective. Many washer brands use a reversing motor. For agitation the motor runs in one direction, for spinning and draining, the other. It's possible for a motor to burn out in one direction and continue to operate in the other. If this happens, you need to replace the entire motor.
The transmission may not be shifting properly. Older washers produced by Whirlpool® have a transmission with an electro-mechanical shifter. If the shifter becomes even partially defective, the unit may drain the water but not spin. This is a complex system, if your washer has a shifter problem, you may want to hire a qualified appliance repair technician to repair it.
The spin bearing or basket drive may be worn or seized. These components allow the inner tub to spin freely inside the outer tub. When this is the problem, you usually hear a loud sound during the spin cycle. Call a qualified appliance repair technician.

My Roper RTW444DVQ2 is having trouble going into Spin cycle with clothes in it. Most of the water is gone. I have replaced the timer and bypassed the lid switch. When we try to get it to spin by rotating the dial to another spin cycle location it still fails 90% of the time. However - with the machine empty it works every time in all the spin locations without a single miss. What have I missed? Mike firstname.lastname@example.com

After performing with Tony Bennett in January at an inauguration ball for President Barack Obama, Lady Gaga tweeted a photo of the duo with a text that announced, "Here's me and my handsome date, I simply cannot wait for our album together."
The two New Yorkers had so much fun teaming for a version of "The Lady Is a Tramp," on Bennett's hit album, "Duets II," released in 2011, that they have decided to collaborate on a jazz recording. In interviews about the intriguing project, the veteran artist hailed Gaga as one of the best jazz singers that anyone's ever heard.
"We are planning on doing a jazz album," Tony Bennett explains, before heading out on an Asia tour. "We are still working out all the details. I can't reveal too much about it, but I am very excited by the project."

Entering his seventh decade as a recording artist with more than 100 albums and 17 Grammy wins, including a Lifetime Achievement Award, Bennett has earned his legendary status many times over.
The premier interpreter of American popular song, Bennett has delighted audiences for more than 60 years singing classic music of style, grace and romance. The only living artist to have new albums charting in every decade since the 1950s, Bennett introduced a multitude of songs into the great American songbook that have since become pop-music standards.
"There was a golden age of songwriting in the '20s, '30s and '40s," he says. "You had master craftsmen such as the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington and Irving Berlin, all creating the best popular standards that have since become one of the greatest contributions that America has given to the world of music.
"I was fortunate when I was discharged from the army after WWII to be able to study under the GI Bill of Rights at the American Theater Wing, and it was there that I was taught never to compromise and always present the audience with the best quality entertainment. I think the Great American Songbook is the finest music that I can find to perform, and I never want to insult an audience by not giving them the very best."
The son of a grocer and Italian-born immigrant, Anthony Dominick Benedetto was born in 1926, in Queens. Attending Manhattans' High School of Industrial Arts, he nurtured two passions - singing and painting. His boyhood idols included Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole, both big influences on Bennett's natural singing style.
His big break came in 1949 when comedian Bob Hope noticed him working with Pearl Bailey at a Greenwich Village club. It was the famous comedian who suggested the name change to Tony Bennett.
Gradually more people recognized his talent and once "Because of You" became a million-selling hit in 1951, it was plain sailing. The record's success, charting for 39 weeks, dramatically changed his life.
More hits followed from "Blue Velvet" and "Rags to Riches" to "Stranger in Paradise" and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."
In the 1960s, when record companies became more interested in promoting rock than classic crooners, Bennett resisted compromising and recording material that didn't suit him.
"I had many battles with my record label and producers, even from the very first, as I had always wanted to strive to create a hit catalog, not just have hit records, many of which were novelty songs that would hit it big for a few weeks and then be instantly forgotten," he explains. "Now over 60 years later it was worth the struggle, as Columbia recently released 'The Complete Collection,' which was the biggest box set of my songs they had ever created, and in reviewing the songs included I realized there wasn't one song that I regretted recording."
An avid jazz fan, Bennett was thrilled when he had the opportunity to record with various jazz greats like Count Basie (in 1957) and Bill Evans (1975). A teaming with pianist Dave Brubeck at the White House in the early '60s was recently unearthed and released this year. A Vanity Fair review proclaimed, "Tony Bennett is Earth's Coolest Cat."
"I grew up loving jazz music and still do," he says. "I gravitated to working with jazz musicians because they are such experts that they are able to improvise easily, which keeps each performance very spontaneous and in the moment. To have the chance to work with such genius artists, in particular Bill Evans, has been a true dream over the years."
In 2001, he embarked on the first of what would become a series of popular duet recordings. The superb, Grammy-winning "Playin' With My Friends: Bennett Sings The Blues" paired the legendary singer with an all-star guest lineup, including Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and B.B. King, for duets on familiar blues songs.
"It was a lot of fun to do that album and I was particularly happy to have a chance to record with Ray Charles," he reports. "My son Danny, who has been my manager for over three decades, had suggested the idea which really became the first of the duet records that we have been doing in the past few years."
Five years later he released "Duets - An American Classic," collaborating with an astonishing array of stars from Paul McCartney and Sting to Bono and Barbra Streisand.
Then in 2010, Bennett made music history when his album "Duets II" debuted at the top of the Billboard Album charts, making him the oldest vocal artist ever to achieve the No. 1 spot.
The many highlights included Amy Winehouse's last recorded track, "Body and Soul," and "How Do You Keep the Music Playing," with Aretha Franklin. Among the glowing reviews, The Wall Street Journal noted that Bennett was, "constantly reaffirming his position as pop music's greatest living patriarch."
And Jazz Times praised: "The truly delightful surprise is Bennett's playful bantering with Lady Gaga on 'The Lady Is a Tramp.' Not since Crosby met Clooney have two pros demonstrated such effortlessly joyous chemistry."
At the age of 87, this consummate performer still delights audiences around the world.
"Forget Tony Bennett's age," noted a recent Chicago Tribune review. "All that counted was the timeless nature of Bennett's work - and its interpretive depth. No one sings a ballad like Bennett, and he offered several from his enormous repertory. Here, above all, was where Bennett showed why, from the start of his career, he has ranked among the most knowing interpreters of American song."
After so many years in the spotlight, Bennett still relishes life and his ability to move people.
"I truly believe that life is a gift and I am happy every day to be alive and have a chance to learn something new or appreciate nature," he says. "I try to keep positive as much as possible and avoid stress. Stress is something that I think can really shorten your lifespan. I also have a wonderful wife who makes sure that I exercise all the time and eat healthy."
And of course he's looking forward to visiting Maui again.
"I love to paint nature and there is such spectacular beauty there that I just can't wait to arrive."
* Tony Bennett will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 24 at Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Castle Theater. The concert will also feature his daughter Antonia Bennett. Tickets are $55, $65, $85, $125 and $150 (plus applicable fees), available at the box office, by calling 242-7469 or online at www.mauiarts.org.
"They don't even do this in New Orleans," marveled Iguana's guitarist Rod Hodges after the close of the third annual Maui Jazz & Blues Festival on Saturday at Grand Wailea Resort. Not even at the Louisiana city's legendary fest would you see assorted legends of jazz, blues, Zydeco and Latin music all jamming together as we witnessed on Maui, he said.
And that was part of the festival's charm, seeing so many greats having fun "just playing," as sax virtuoso Donald Harrison noted, after some extraordinary soloing on the jazz standard "Misty."
With a crescent moon as a backdrop the spectacular setting of the resort's Molokini Garden added to the night's allure as guest artists dropped in and out of sets including Hawaiian soul singer Paula Fuga fronting an amazing 10-man band on "Lilikoi," and Zydeco accordionist Dwayne Dopsie and blues guitarist Joe Louis Walker, boogieing through the rousing finale of Clifton Chenier's classic "Hot Tamale Baby," with an all-star backing of percussionist Lenny Castro, trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, saxophonist Harrison, and the Iguanas.

Baseball HOF Announces Veterans Committee Nominees

We are in an era when the BBWAA can?t get it together to elect any of nearly a dozen deserving candidates for the Hall of Fame through the usual channels, so the Veteran?s Committee nominees maybe take on more significance than usual these days.
And, given that the VC is, this year, dealing with the so-called ?Expansion Era? candidates (i.e. those from 1973-present), if there is going to be an induction of anyone who still alive next summer, this is the election that matters. Here are the candidates:

Abstract: The construction of formal models of real-time distributed systems is a considerable practical challenge. We propose and illustrate a pragmatic incremental approach in which detail is progressively added to abstract system-level specifications of functional and timing properties via intermediate models that express system architecture, concurrency and timing behaviour. The approach is illustrated by developing a new formal model of the cardiac pacemaker system proposed as a "grand challenge" problem in 2007. The models are expressed using the Vienna Development Method (VDM) and are validated primarily by scenario-based tests, including the analysis of timed traces. We argue that the insight gained using this staged modelling approach will be valuable in the subsequent development of implementations, and in detecting potential bottlenecks within suggested implementation architectures.

text: I'm glad I stuck around Saturday during halftime of the Amarillo Venom game and caught the Belmar Elementary hula hoopers in action. The crowd was into the routine — which lasted several minutes — and I didn't see one Bobcat hula hoop hit the artificial turf. I sustained a hip flexor injury just watching ... Speaking of Venom games, I don't know if it is the players or the officials, but the number of penalties — primarily for delay of game and offsides for both home and visitor — is way too high. The yellow hankies are dragging down game tempo ... Former WT WR/current Chicago Bears free agent signee Brittan Golden ran a 4.48 40-yard dash, did 16 reps on the 225-pound bench and had a 36-inch vertical for NFL scouts. The Bears aren't afraid to give small school players a shot, and Golden could make an impact ... Things I don't get: According to agent propaganda, Tiger Woods is taking questions from fans via social "media" rather than traditional news conferences, supposedly to have "direct interaction." Woods already has more than 2 million Twitter followers. What's preventing this interaction? It seems Tiger has landed in a bunker — from tough questions.

Superintendent Juneau convenes statewide Student Advisory Board
Monday, November 8, 2010
By Faith Moldan
Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau will convene the state's first-ever State Superintendent's Student Advisory Board this Friday, November 12, 2010, in Helena at Carroll College. The board consists of 40 high school students from 31 Montana schools that represent 142,082 Montana K-12 students.
The board's first charge is to advise Superintendent Juneau on Graduation Matters Montana, an initiative of the Office of Public Instruction to increase the number of Montana students who graduate from high school through collaborative partnerships with schools, community organizations, businesses, and youth. The summit is partly underwritten by business sponsors Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana, Exploration Works, Big Sky Printwear and Carroll College.
"Montana's students will provide a much needed perspective on state policy, such as Graduation Matters Montana, and will help to guide the K-12 public education system into the future," Juneau said.
Student Advisory Board members were first nominated by local school and community members, and also had to apply for selection to the board. The board members, in grades 9 – 12, are travelling from rural communities such as Wibaux and Poplar and from larger communities such as Billings and Missoula.
"We are all well aware of the serious consequences of young people not receiving a high school diploma," Juneau said. "I believe students are the most important voice in helping us to best address this issue, and the Student Summit will begin an overdue conversation about what is working and what needs to improve."
1. Increase the rate of Montana students graduating from high school ready for college and the 21st century workforce.
2. Establish a support network between schools, businesses, and community organizations for student success.
3. Create school-based and community-based opportunities to inspire students to stay in school and graduate.

i was wondering what the differences are between gang graffiti and graffiti crews......if anyone would like to give some information it would be helpful for my report on it . thanks
figure it out own your own
im not doing your homework
since this si your first post i will fill you in on this. bombing science is full of assholes. we will not pat you on the fuckin back and do shit for you. most of us are sarcastic, and pretty much just bad people.
so google it or soemthing theres thousands of places you could find that out
welcome to b s muddafucka
Gang graffiti is all about putting up were ur from and territory shit
Graffiti crews is a bunch of good writers that put theyre names up together and help each other in certain events ... people in actually crews are the ones that do wild style....gangs but up simple letters .... some gang graffiti is actually good
no... no gang grafitti looks good.
Gang grafitti is to mark gang territory and let people know about your gang. They dont put work into their grafitti and they just do it to be hard (even though thats a stupid reason)
Grafitti crews work extensively on putting up and actual piece of art that some people view as just senseless vandalism.. crews sketch and stuff until each member gets really good and their art and names are worthy of displaying to the public
basically gangs do it just to mark territory, crews do it as an art form and to get their name out
(='.'=) This is Bunny. Copy and paste bunny into your
("_(" signature to help him gain world domination.
Some people have dual-penises.
dont help this punk out...yall had to learn shit on ur own...so does he...no1 handed me shit...
There's a gang around here, the NTC, ******s that care, they sell pills out the front of the club smack the buyer out, steal the pills back and repeat. I don't like them, they layed beat down on me and my boy at a party and I sense there will be another after we hit up all over their white van. On the other hand there are a load of sole graff related gangs like one sick addiction and after hours who might have beef though keep it to lining and the occasional crew smash on which is nothing compared to the shit the NTC dish out, 10 big maoris onto two or three crackers isn't cool.
in any case, i def. agree with both BigEl and also the comparing apples to oranges comment. what i've understood graffiti to be is generally a way to be noticed and get a message out or just your name. gangs want the attention and writers also want the attention. i don't know it just seems like the only difference in the graffiti is the message you give through it. but then again there aren't any gangs around me so thats just my 2 cents.
gang graffiti..i feel they are set out to do one thing..and that is get their name shown..the gang graffiti around 615 has no style, they are reckless, they go over anybodys stuff to cause as much beef as possible, and they only use one color
reg graffiti i feel is about style, getting your name out still applies but you have your own style added to your tags and whatnot
yeh but he could just go to any local library and pick up espo's book the art of getting over or whatever...Originally posted by uhhh@May 12 2006, 09:51 PM
hey dumbass, he's not trying to get into graff, he;'s just writing a paper on it, and as far as i know, they don't give you years to research papers
im sure if u type graffiti in wikipedia it tells u the difference between gang graff and graff crews
and that dude in ur profile freaks me out everytime i look at him
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
NICCsacc is the biggest fuckin bellend int the world lol
hold ya can up n stand up
i doubt 615 and 614 are near each other...
example: Ft. Lauderdale is 954 and miami is 305....right next to each other....totally diff numbers
in fact!
614 = columbus ohio
615 = nashville tennessee
6 hours and 8 minutes away 378.5 miles (thank you mapquest)

A fear that a strain of rabies might spread from Arizona deeper into New Mexico has prompted New Mexico officials to prohibit releases of captured foxes and some other species back into the wild, resulting in those animals being killed instead.
The Albuquerque Journal reports the ban on relocating so-called nuisance animals also applies to raccoons, skunks, coyotes, bats and some bobcats.
Wildlife health specialist Kerry Mower of the New Mexico Game and Fish Department says the ban imposed in June is a result of fears that Arizona fox rabies could spread from the southwest quadrant of New Mexico.
Mower says health officials don't want it to reach the Rio Grande because that's a wildlife corridor.

Basic information
Objectives: To divulge works scientific of the surgical area of the medicine that contribute stops its education and development.
Description: The publication and spreading of the scientific activities of its members are one of the objectives of the Medical Societies. The Brazilian College of Surgeons, established in 1929, already in its first statute it foresaw the edition of "Bulletin of the Brazilian College of Surgeons" as its official agency whose initial number was published in January of 1930.
In 1967 the National Directory of the CBC changed the name of periodic for "Magazine of the Brazilian College of Surgeons", that, however, it passed to be published without the had regularity. From 1974 the Magazine bimonthly passed to be edited, of regular form, until the present.
In these more than 30 years of uninterrupted publication, Magazine gained importance and range through the effort and devotion of members of the National Directory, in particular of its Publication Directors. With norms and criteria for election and scientific article publication of area of General and Specialized Surgery, including "to peer view", the Magazine of CBC if fits in the periodic main molds of the international ones and counts with an Advice of Copyholders and Consultants of high level. Constituted of Members Noble Persons, in its great majority, and deriving of Institutions of Superior Education of diverse regions of the country, these Advice evaluate, with seen to the publication, works of members and not members of the CBC.
Now, with its indexation in the SciELO, the Magazine of Brazilian college
of Surgeons, gains greater visibility, greater importance e bigger range
in its main purpose of spreading of science surgical.
Its abbreviated title is Rev. Col. Bras. Cir., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.

From the Department of Surgery II, Faculty of Medicine, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.
To evaluate the results of a thoracoabdominal hepatectomy and a transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with impaired liver function.
Retrospective study.
A university hospital in Japan.
Twenty-seven patients who from 1991 to 1996 underwent a thoracoabdominal hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma located mainly in the superior portion of the liver and 20 patients who underwent a transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma located near the diaphragm.
Main Outcome Measures
Morbidity, survival, and disease-free survival after each operation. Comparisons were then made with 183 patients who had undergone an ordinary transabdominal hepatectomy during the same period.
In the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group, 17 patients underwent a partial resection, 4 patients underwent a subsegmentectomy, and another 6 patients underwent either a segmentectomy or a procedure that was greater in size than a segmentectomy, whereas all of the patients in the transdiaphragmatic group underwent a partial resection. The morbidities in the thoracoabdominal group included pleural effusion in 6 patients (22%); intra-abdominal infection in 5 patients (19%); and hepatic failure in 3 patients (11%), of whom 1 died (mortality rate, 4%). In the transdiaphragmatic group, only 2 patients (10%) had non–life-threatening complications. The cumulative survival rates and the disease-free survival rates of the patients at 3 years were 51% and 24% in the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group and 62% and 30% in the transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy group; no significant differences were observed when these findings were compared with those of patients who had undergone a transabdominal hepatectomy.
The outcomes of the patients undergoing thoracoabdominal hepatectomy and those undergoing a transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy were generally satisfactory in spite of the fact that these procedures were performed on patients with cirrhosis and impaired liver function.
RECENTLY THERE have been many remarkable advances in the resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).1- 6 Despite such advances, a high incidence of postoperative complications and mortality continues to be reported. The operative indications for patients with impaired liver function also remain controversial. At our institution, the mortality rate among the patients who had undergone liver resections for HCC from 1985 to 1993 was 2% (6/280 patients); most of the patients who died had a low hepatic functional reserve and had undergone a large resection with excessive manipulation of the liver.6 Therefore, a limited resection of the liver in patients with cirrhosis and HCC has become the established operative procedure when hepatic functional reserves are low.7,8
We have been performing a thoracoabdominal hepatectomy for HCC, especially when the tumor is located in the superior portion of the right hepatic lobe in patients with cirrhosis. We have also recently reported a new approach for liver surgery, transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy, which is a useful technique for patients with cirrhosis and HCC located near the diaphragm.9 These procedures are expected to lessen the degree of operative invasion in patients with cirrhosis by taking the shortest and most direct approach from the skin incision to the tumor without excessive mobilization of the liver, while also performing as small a liver resection as possible. In this article, we evaluate the results of a thoracoabdominal hepatectomy while also further evaluating transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy for patients with cirrhosis and HCC who have impaired liver function, and discuss the indications for these procedures.
Two hundred sixty-six patients underwent a hepatic resection for HCC in the Department of Surgery II, Kyushu University Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan, from August 1991 to January 1996. Of these, 27 patients underwent a thoracoabdominal hepatectomy and 20 patients underwent a transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy; these 47 patients were enrolled in the current study. Three of the 27 patients undergoing a thoracoabdominal hepatectomy and 12 of the 20 patients undergoing a transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy had already undergone repeated hepatic resection for recurrent HCC. The preoperative clinical characteristics of these patients are given in Table 1. Most of them had a history of intra-abdominal surgery, including repeated hepatectomy, and that was the result of having cirrhosis or other severe diseases such as diabetes mellitus or esophageal varices. The rate of liver cirrhosis was high, with 52% of all patients with HCC who were operated on at our institution having some degree of cirrhosis, as previously reported.6
The surgical procedures for the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy are described as follows. With the patient placed in a left semilateral position, a right anterolateral thoracotomy incision is made along the 7th intercostal space with an extension of the skin incision near the navel. Then, a laparotomy and dissection of the diaphragm is made. After performing a cholecystectomy, the glissonian pedicle of hepatic segment that contains the tumor is exposed and clamped at the hepatic hilum for vascular control.10 All liver resections, such as partial resection, subsegmentectomy, or segmentectomy are performed in the ischemic area of the liver, either with or without mobilizing the right lobe of the liver, by means of an ultrasonic dissector.11 When the whole ischemic area is not resected, 15-minute vascular occlusion and 5-minute declamping are repeated during the resection to prevent any ischemic damage to the liver tissue.6 The surgical procedures for a transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy of HCC located near the diaphragm have already been described.9 Briefly, after placing the patient in a left semilateral position, an anterolateral thoracotomy incision is made. The optimal intercostal space for thoracotomy (the shortest approach to the tumor) is selected using preoperative ultrasonography. The diaphragm is opened after confirming the location of the tumor by transdiaphragmatic ultrasonography. A partial hepatectomy is then performed through the diaphragm using an ultrasonic dissector either with or without a microwave tissue coagulator12 and without any vascular control.
All patients were followed up satisfactorily at the surgical clinic of Kyushu University Hospital on a monthly basis after the operation.6
The survival analyses were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method13 and the log-rank test.14 We compared the findings with those of the 183 patients who had undergone an ordinary transabdominal hepatectomy for HCC, but excluded 36 patients in whom the tumor could not be completely resected. All P values less than .05 were considered to be statistically significant. The data are presented as mean±SD.
The location and number of the tumors and the operations performed are listed in Table 2. In the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group, most of the tumors were located in the S7 or S8 subsegment of the liver (Couinaud classification); however, in the transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy group, most of the tumors were located near the diaphragm in the S8 subsegment. The surgical procedures varied in the thoracoabdominal group according to the location of the tumors. In the transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy group, all operations were partial resections. As a result, the resected liver volume was smaller and the operative time shorter in the transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy group than in the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group. In the transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy group, 60% of all cases were repeated hepatectomies for recurrent HCC. The postoperative complications of the 2 groups are listed in Table 3. The incidence of morbidity in the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group was 44%. However, in the transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy group, only 2 patients had postoperative complications. The cumulative survival rates of the patients in the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group, transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy group, and the hepatectomy with an ordinary transabdominal approach group were 82%, 89%, and 82% at 1 year and 51%, 62%, and 59% at 3 years, respectively (Figure 1). No statistically significant differences were found among these rates. The disease-free survival rates of the patients in the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group, transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy group, and the hepatectomy with an ordinary transabdominal approach group were 80%, 38%, and 72% at 1 year and 24%, 30%, and 34% at 3 years, respectively (Figure 2). No statistically significant differences were seen among the 3 groups.
The cumulative survival rates classified according to the operative procedures (thoracoabdominal hepatectomy [n=27]; transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy [n=20]; and hepatectomy with the ordinary transabdominal approach [n=183]).
The cumulative disease-free survival rates classified according to the operative procedures (thoracoabdominal hepatectomy [n=27]; transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy [n=20]; and hepatectomy with the ordinary transabdominal approach [n=183]).
A limited hepatic resection has been shown to be a useful surgical procedure for a relatively small HCC in patients with cirrhosis, with a low rate of morbidity and no decrease in the long-term survival rate after operation.7 In addition, the short surgical margin (<10 mm wide) of the resected specimen in the limited hepatic resection was not linked to any early recurrence in the patients with a relatively small HCC.8 These facts are considered to expand the surgical indications for patients with cirrhosis and a relatively small HCC. However, in cases of HCC located in the superior portion or near the diaphragm of the liver, even a limited hepatic resection is difficult to perform through the transabdominal approach. With a narrow operative field, excessive mobilization is needed in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, but this mobilization is thought to cause liver injury after the operation.9 Therefore, the largest advantage of the transthoracic hepatectomy with a thoracoabdominal or transdiaphragmatic approach is that it lessens the degree of operative invasion in the cirrhotic liver by taking the most direct, shortest distance from the skin incision to the tumor with a small degree of liver mobilization and no bowel manipulation. In this study, 60% of all cases of transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy were repeated hepatectomies for recurrent HCC. Repeated hepatectomy remains the most effective therapeutic modality for recurrent HCC.15- 19 However, a repeated hepatectomy is sometimes difficult to perform because of intra-abdominal adhesion from a previous operation. The transthoracic approach in hepatic surgery is considered to be useful in such patients.
As for morbidity, few complications have been recognized in such patients undergoing a transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy. Stimpson et al20 reported that a thoracotomy was one of the factors that raised the postoperative morbidity. However, a thoracotomy alone is not the risk factor for postoperative complications, even in patients with impaired liver function. In the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group, 44% of the patients had postoperative complications, including 1 patient who died in the hospital. The difference in the incidence of complications between the 2 groups was considered to be caused by the different volumes of the resected liver. However, the incidence of such complications in the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group was almost the same as that of all patients who had undergone an ordinary transabdominal hepatectomy.6 As the liver function of the patients in the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy group was more impaired than that of all patients undergoing an ordinary transabdominal hepatectomy, the surgical indications for the patients with cirrhosis and HCC could be expanded by a thoracoabdominal approach.
The use of the vascular occlusion method at the hepatic pedicle during resection10,21 has apparently contributed to the improved results in hepatic surgery by minimizing blood loss. However, the tolerable period of normothermic ischemia is limited, depending on the extent of liver injury from the disease. In the normal liver, the longest period of normothermic ischemia tolerated during major liver resections has been found to be 90 minutes.22,23 In cirrhotic livers, hepatic vascular exclusion is feasible as long as it is kept to a time limit of 60 minutes.24 However, in an experimental study using the rat liver, the maximum period of ischemia without irreversible damage was 15 minutes.25 It is thus considered that normothermic ischemia should be avoided as much as possible in cirrhotic livers with severly impaired function. Regarding transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy, a partial hepatectomy was performed through the diaphragm without any vascular control and without any manipulation of the intraperitoneal organs. These causes are considered to be the reason why morbidity was less frequent in the patients undergoing transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy.
The most useful indication for the thoracoabdominal approach is considered to be a posterior segmentectomy of the liver. In a posterior segmentectomy through the transabdominal approach, the surgeon is forced to cut the liver beneath its frontal plane. However, using the thoracoabdominal approach with the patient placed in a left semilateral position, a wide operative field can be obtained and it is easy to perform manipulation, even near the inferior vena cava or the right hepatic vein. The outcomes of the thoracoabdominal hepatectomy for HCC located in the superior portion of the liver and of the transdiaphragmatic hepatectomy for HCC located near the diaphragm have generally been satisfactory, despite being performed on patients with cirrhosis and impaired liver function.

Now that the initial three-day rush has concluded in free agency, the Buffalo Bills are in position to find the right free agents at the right prices.
Buffalo has been extremely quiet in this open market, signing only Manny Lawson to Mike Pettine's defensive scheme. However, unlike last year's spending spree, the Bills can now be a bit more thrifty with their money and dish out less in return for quality players.
This list looks at the best moves Buffalo can make at this stage of the 2013 free agency period. There are numerous needs for the Bills in this new regime under Doug Marrone and the new direction the team is heading in should be very exciting for fans.
The Bills need a new identity under Marrone and free agency allows Buffalo to add experienced players to the equation.
Here are the players that Buffalo should target at this point of the offseason.

Native gaming on Apple TV could soon become a reality as a new Apple TV with its own App Store is on the way, sources say
We've been waiting for the fourth generation Apple TV for quite sometime now. Initially we thought it would be announced in the iPad event in October, 2013. Later it was speculated that Apple will hold a separate event for the next Apple TV in November. And after the acquisition of PrimeSense, it was deemed that Apple will come up with gesture-recognizing control system for the same. Now, iLounge has learned something exciting and believable from their reliable source. Wait for it.. the next Apple TV will support native gaming!
Apple TV sure has alot of apps/channels but unfortunately a web-browser isn't one of them. And with good reason too. Ever tried to use the browsers in so called Smart-TVs? Well I have and can assure that using the remote as a pointer for surfing is annoying and is "injurious" to your forearm. Well, now thanks to AirWeb, anyone having an AirPlay Mirroring-enabled iOS device will be able to browse smoothly on their 40-incher.

Mackie Master Fader is now available!
Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at 7:41AM by Tim Webb
Mackie is the latest manufacturer to live up to their NAMM promises, with the release of the DL1608 16-Channel Digital Live Mixer! This iPad-integrated mixer was announced with a bizarre, and bearded, video.
Massive what-the-fucks aside, the functionality seems pretty impressive on all fronts. The mixer just launched at $1000, which is high but not insane for live mixers. The app is free, but will not be useful unless you have the hardware mixer. There is a more practical overview video of the features, but I think someone told them to tone it down a bit too much.
