Surgery is often the first choice as a breast cancer treatment. There are two main types of surgery in this case, a lumpectomy and a mastectomy. Sometimes the nature of the cancer determines which type of surgery is appropriate, but in other instances the decision is up to the patient. Several considerations must be made, including the radiation that often accompanies a lumpectomy or body image after a mastectomy.
Credit: Thinkstock A diagnosis of breast cancer is understandably shocking. Being told you need a mastectomy can be downright brutal, because all most women can think about when they hear that word is, "They're going to cut off my breast!"

According to the Direct Marketing Association in the recently released 2012 Response Rate Report, direct mail response rates have dropped nearly 25% over the past nine years. Even so, mail campaigns draw a better overall response than digital channels. For instance, response rates for direct mail to an existing customer average 3.40%, compared with 0.12% for email, which is roughly a 30-fold difference. Costs are also higher, which translates to roughly equivalent costs-per-sale/lead for direct mail, email, and paid search.

What the 2016 EE price changes mean for you
What is happening?
We contacted you in February to let you know that until you upgrade onto another price plan, your annual price increase will now happen every June, not every March.
From 1 June 2016 you'll see a 1.3% increase to your monthly price plan on any bills you receive. This increase is in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) published by the Office for National Statistics on 16 February 2016.
Calculate your new plan cost
Use our calculator to calculate your new plan cost.
Frequently asked questions
Why are you increasing your prices?
How have you calculated the rate of increase on my plan?
How will the increase appear on my bill?
How do I know if my price is increasing?
What happens if I upgrade to another plan?
Why are you increasing your prices?
Your terms and conditions state that we can carry out a price increase up to the level of Retail Price Index (RPI). We try to keep price rises to a minimum but in order to continue to invest in our network and service, we need to make this small price increase.
The rate of RPI published on 16 February 2016 is 1.3%. As a result, an increase of 1.3% will be reflected in your plan from 1 June 2016.
Retail Price Index (RPI) is a measure of the increase in prices for consumers and businesses on average across the country, over the last 12 months.
How have you calculated the rate of increase on my plan?
We have used the Retail Price Index (RPI) published on 16 February 2016 which is 1.3%.
The increase is calculated by adding 1.3% to the price of your monthly plan.
Use our calculator to calculate your new plan cost.
If you have a discount then this will not change. The price increase is applied to your existing price plan cost and then any discount is applied afterwards.
How will the increase appear on my bill?
The monthly price plan charge that appears on your bill will increase by 1.6% but you will also see a 'Price rise discount' of 0.3% to make sure that your overall price increase is 1.3%.
Your terms and conditions state that you can only cancel your contract without penalty if we increase your monthly plan by more than RPI. As this increase does not exceed RPI, you will be required to pay an early termination charge if you choose to cancel your contract before the end of your plan's minimum term.
How do I know if my price is increasing?
All customers who are impacted by the price increase will be contacted. You will receive a minimum of 30 days written notice (letter or SMS) notifying you before the increase takes place.
What happens if I upgrade to another plan?
If you are due an upgrade and move onto one of our new plans before 1 June 2016, this price increase will not affect you. If you have upgraded onto a new EE plan since 10 February 2016, this price increase does not apply. Your first price plan increase will be March 2017.

There is a reason this stock consistently inderperforms it's peers. Although all commodities took a hit PWE performed almost three times worse why. IT IS THE SINGLER WORST MANAGED COMPANY IN NORTH AMERICA ITS MANAGEMENT IS INCOMPETENT. IT'S OLD MANAGENT WAS BAD IT'S NEW MANAGEMENT IS WORSE. This is not going to be bought out by a Chinese company this is going bankrupt within 2 years.
so why are you hanging around ?
Now is the time for PWE to rise. PWE lost 7% and PGH 5%. The volume on PWE was high but has been much higher. The high was about 5 days ago at 2:1 average volume. Talked to a guy in Canada that owns this. I feel the call contracts have run their course. I had a open order to sell at the open yesterday as I saw the European/Asian news. Got lucky and bought 1500 shares at 9.27. Also bought more PGH at 4.79. Now time will tell as PWE presents. Try to keep any stock at 4-6% of portfolio. I think there will be a seminal event some time in the next year or so. The deleraging process could continue for 5 more years as per Gary Schilling. This wash out could be the start of a new good market in a few years.NO GUANTEES of course!

Andrews Farm: New Urban Farm to Provide Cheap Organic Produce in Downtown Fort Lauderdale
What if instead of a McDonald's you could drive up to a local micro farm squeezed between a shopping plaza and a doctor's office and buy a bushel of fresh produce, picked to order?
Madfis and his company, Fort Lauderdale Vegetables, are responsible for many of the community gardens that dot the Fort Lauderdale area. Those gardens were labors of love and while Madfis certainly brings his passion for horticulture to this project, it's more than just another community garden. The Andrews Farm is a for-profit venture that Madfis hopes to run like a franchise with a farmer in place of the franchisee.

You could do the same thing by unplugging electrical device or turn the wall switch off.
Circuit breaker has nothing to do with electricity usage, it is just an overload protection device.

Although hemorrhage has traditionally been regarded as the most significant hemostatic complication of liver disease, there is increasing recognition that hypercoagulability is a prominent aspect of cirrhosis. Identifying markers of coagulability and monitoring anticoagulation therapy in the setting of cirrhosis is problematic. The bleeding risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis and treatment in patients with chronic liver disease is unclear and there are currently no recommendations to guide practice in this regard. In the present report, the mechanism of coagulation disturbance in chronic liver disease is reviewed with an examination of the evidence for an increased VTE risk in cirrhosis. Finally, the available evidence is assessed for prophylaxis and therapy of VTE in chronic liver disease, and the role it may play in decreasing clinical decompensation and improving survival.
Même si l'hémorragie a toujours été considérée comme la pire complication hémostatique de la maladie hépatique, on convient de plus en plus du caractère primordial de l'hypercoagulabilité en présence de cirrhose. Il est difficile d'obtenir des marqueurs d'identification de la coagulabilité et de surveiller l'anticoagulothérapie en cas de cirrhose. On ne connaît pas vraiment le risque de saignement lié à la prophylaxie et au traitement de la thromboembolie veineuse (TEV) chez les patients atteints d'une maladie hépatique chronique, et il n'existe pas de recommandations pour orienter la pratique à cet égard. Dans le présent rapport, les auteurs analysent le mécanisme de perturbation de la coagulation en cas de maladie hépatique chronique et examinent les données probantes d'accroissement du risque de TEV en cas de cirrhose. Enfin, ils examinent les données probantes disponibles sur la prophylaxie et le traitement de la TEV en présence d'une maladie hépatique chronique et le rôle qu'ils peuvent jouer pour réduire la décompensation clinique et améliorer la survie.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cirrhosis is an increasingly recognized clinical problem, and ideal methods of prophylaxis, treatment and monitoring of VTE in this patient population have not yet been determined. Although bleeding has traditionally been regarded as the most frequent and severe hemostatic complication of liver disease, there is increasing awareness that an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) in patients with cirrhosis and 'autoanticoagulation' may not be protective from thrombosis. Indeed, hypercoagulability is now a recognized aspect of liver disease. Furthermore, there is considerable difficulty in identifying markers of coagulability in the setting of cirrhosis, and the bleeding risk of VTE prophylaxis and treatment remains unclear. Monitoring of therapy continues to be problematic, and there are few expert recommendations guiding VTE prophylaxis and treatment in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) (1,2). In the present article, we review the mechanism of coagulation disturbance in CLD and evaluate the utility of alternative clinical markers of coagulation. We examine the evidence for increased VTE risk in these patients and discuss possible confounding risk factors. Finally, we consider the recently available evidence for prophylaxis and therapy of VTE in chronic liver disease, and their role in preventing progressive liver decompensation and improving survival.
Hemostasis is altered in cirrhosis and the global effect is complex, with the possibility of both bleeding and thrombotic complications. For example, a reduction in the synthesis of procoagulant factors, including factors II, V, VII, X, XI, XII and XIII, has been documented in CLD leading to elevations in INR. Fibrinogen synthesis and platelet numbers are also reduced. However, more recent studies indicate that cirrhosis is also associated with a decrease in the production of anticoagulant factors, such as antithrombin (AT) and proteins C and S, of potentially equal or greater magnitude (3–6). Other factors that may increase coagulation in cirrhosis include decreased production of fibrinolytics such as plasminogen, increased thrombin generation, increased endothelial derived procoagulant factors, such as factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (7–10), as well as hyperhomocysteinemia secondary to vitamin B and folate deficiencies (11). Elevated levels of antiphospholipid antibodies have been found in some patients with cirrhosis and may be a risk factor for thrombosis (12). In addition, traditional risk factors for VTE are often present in cirrhotic patients, including advanced age, hospitalization, immobility, inflammation, elevated estrogen levels, surgery and cancer.
In cirrhotic patients, biochemical changes that lead to hypercoagulability are not measured by conventional parameters such as INR or partial thromboplastin time. For example, reagents that are used to measure the prothrombin time do not contain thrombomodulin and, thus, do not adequately reflect reduced levels of anticoagulant factors such as protein C, which relies on thrombomodulin for activation (13,14). Furthermore, the INR may not be an accurate measure of bleeding tendency in cirrhosis because calibration of the thromboplastin test reagent uses plasma obtained from patients taking vitamin K antagonists, and this method has not been validated in liver disease. Indeed, variation in laboratory methodologies for determining prothrombin time in patients with cirrhosis leads to significant differences in INR values (15,16).
Traditional anticoagulant therapies for VTE may be poor treatment options for cirrhotic patients. The vitamin K antagonistic effects of warfarin reduce protein C and protein S production, which are already decreased in CLD, leading to increased thrombotic risk. Warfarin-based anticoagulation is also difficult because of the variability in baseline INR in CLD and, thus, unclear targets of therapy. Using low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is also problematic because there is some suggestion that low AT levels in liver disease may cause resistance to this agent. For instance, in cirrhotic patients being treated with LMWH, AT levels as well as antifactor Xa (anti-Xa) activity, are low. Furthermore, both AT levels and anti-Xa activity are negatively correlated with the severity of liver disease, suggesting that reduced hepatic synthesis of AT may be the cause of this phenomenon. The decreased anti-Xa activity of LMWH in cirrhotic individuals with poor liver function limits the use of anti-Xa assays in monitoring anticoagulation (3,17). Thrombin generation (TG) is increased in CLD as discussed above, and can be measured using specific assays. Studies have shown a relationship between this parameter and a hypercoagulable profile in cirrhosis. However, TG assays are not widely available and TG needs to be explored further as a clinical marker of coagulation (18). New therapies with direct AT or anti-Xa activity are currently under investigation. These agents may be attractive because they do not reduce protein C levels and their mechanism of action is independent of AT. Furthermore, they are administered orally and do not require regular laboratory monitoring (19,20).
Several single-centre and population-based studies have attempted to assess the risk of VTE in patients with cirrhosis but the reported results were often conflicting. Key studies are described below and are summarized in Table 1. The incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis ranged from 0.5% to 6.3%. Although most studies suggested an increased risk of VTE in cirrhosis, the OR varied among studies and most suggested a nonstatistically significant relationship. The majority of these studies could not control for VTE prophylaxis.
Only two studies showed a reduced risk of VTE in liver disease. One case-control study compared 625 patients with their first VTE to 625 matched patients without VTE, and identified independent risk factors for VTE (21). In the multivariate analysis, the authors determined that in patients with liver disease, the risk of VTE was reduced, with an OR of 0.1 (21). This finding is of unclear clinical relevance because the study was not designed to examine the risk of VTE associated with liver disease, but rather to determine general risk factors for VTE. Indeed, the authors could only identify 11 patients with 'serious' liver disease and could not characterize this condition further. Furthermore, it was not specified whether these patients were hospitalized.
Another retrospective study identified 449,798 cirrhosis-related hospitalizations using hospital administrative data (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision [ICD-9]) codes and identified patients with concomitant diagnosis codes for VTE or PE. Patients with cirrhosis but without VTE were used as the control group, and factors independently associated with VTE were identified. The authors found that VTE was prevalent in cirrhotic patients (1.8%), although the frequency was significantly lower than in noncirrhotic patients with hepatitis C (2.1%) or overall in hospitalized patients (3.7%). Compared with cirrhotic controls, patients with VTE were more likely to be older and had more comorbidities. Malnutrition and black race were also independently associated with VTE (22).
In contrast to these two studies, other studies found that the risk of VTE was not reduced in cirrhotic patients compared with controls and, indeed, was increased in some. One recent retrospective cohort study (23) found a VTE rate of 2.7% in hospitalized cirrhotic patients. Another cohort study found that the OR for VTE in CLD patients was 1.65, although this did not reach statistical significance (95% CI 0.97 to 2.82) (24). In a case-control study, Gulley et al (25) identified 963 hospitalized patients using biopsy, imaging and clinical evidence of cirrhosis, and matched these with 12,405 controls without evidence of cirrhosis. DVT or PE events were identified using ICD-9 codes and confirmed with imaging. The incidence of DVT/PE was significantly higher in cirrhotic patients than in controls (1.8% versus 0.9%) but was lower than that in patients with other medical illnesses (7.1% in chronic kidney disease, 7.8% in congestive heart failure and 6.1% in solid organ cancers). The difference in VTE incidence between cirrhotic patients and controls was lost in the multivariate analysis, leading the authors to conclude that the risk of VTE was not lower than in controls without significant comorbidity.
Two additional studies showed an increased risk of VTE in liver disease. A nationwide Danish case-control study (26) identified 67,519 patients with unprovoked VTE using a national registry, along with 308,614 population controls. Logistic regression was used to compute the RR of VTE in patients with CLD. This study found that the RR of VTE was significantly higher in patients with liver disease, ranging from 2.06 (95 % CI 1.79 to 2.38) for liver cirrhosis to 2.10 (95 % CI 1.91 to 2.31) for noncirrhotic liver disease. Finally, a retrospective population-based study from the United States (27) investigated the incidence of VTE in 400,000 compensated cirrhotic patients, 240,000 decompensated cirrhotic patients and 575,000 controls who were admitted to hospital for non-VTE-related reasons. They found an increased risk of VTE in the first two groups (ie, patients with cirrhosis) compared with controls (OR 1.23 in compensated and OR 1.39 in decompensated cirrhotic patients). Interestingly, this difference was only apparent in patients <45 years of age, with no difference in VTE incidence after that age. The authors hypothesized that younger patients with cirrhosis may not have received VTE prophylaxis, and proposed that the lack of difference in VTE incidence after 45 years of age was due to a predominance of non-cirrhosis-related risk factors.
Several studies found that cirrhotic patients with conventional markers of bleeding tendency (elevated INR) were not protected from VTE. A retrospective case control study included more than 21,000 patients with cirrhosis admitted to a tertiary-care hospital and found 113 patients with documented new VTE. They compared these data with 113 cirrhotic patients without VTE and determined the risk factors for thrombosis. They found that 0.5% of all hospitalized patients with cirrhosis experienced a VTE despite having an elevated INR. Indeed, INR and platelet count were not found to be predictive of VTE, but a low serum albumin level was an independent predictor. The authors suggested that serum albumin deficiency may mirror low levels of endogenous anticoagulants (28). Serum albumin was also found to be an independent predictor of DVT/PE in cirrhotic patients in the study by Gulley et al (25).
Similarly, a cohort study found that INR prolongation was not protective against VTE. The authors found 190 patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital with a primary diagnosis of CLD and divided these patients into quartiles according to highest admission INR. The overall incidence of VTE was 6.3%, which is a rate similar to other hospital admitted patients (25,29). There was no significant difference in VTE between INR quartiles, and one-half of the VTE cases occurred in patients with an INR >1.6. Indeed, there was a risk of VTE even with an INR >2.2. The majority of patients who developed VTE were classified as Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) class C. The authors concluded that the notion of 'autoanticoagulation' being protective against VTE was unfounded, and that patients with elevated CTP scores were at higher risk (30).
Overall, the use of VTE prophylaxis is not widespread in hospitalized patients with CLD, likely due to concerns of increased bleeding risk in patients with elevated INR. One recent study (23) found that 76% of the cirrhotic patients admitted to hospital received neither pharmacological nor mechanical DVT prophylaxis. This was supported by another study (30) that found pharmacological prophylaxis for VTE was used in only 9% of patients, while mechanical compression devices were used in 16%.
The safety of VTE prophylaxis or treatment in cirrhosis is unclear, and there are no randomized controlled trials to guide practice in this regard. Patients with abnormal coagulation profiles, such as an elevated INR, were excluded in the landmark clinical trials studying VTE, and the utility of lower extremity compression devices has not been studied in patients with cirrhosis. However, one retrospective study evaluated the risk of bleeding or VTE associated with postoperative LMWH prophylaxis in 229 patients with cirrhosis and hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (31). The study reported that 68.5% of patients received VTE prophylaxis with LMWH while 31.5% did not. Of the group receiving prophylaxis, 0.63% developed VTE postoperatively compared with 1.38% of patients not receiving prophylaxis; this was not a significant difference. The rate of postoperative hemorrhage was also not statistically different between the two groups. The authors noted that only one patient in each group developed VTE but that the patient in the no-prophylaxis group died of hepatic failure secondary to portal venous thrombosis (PVT). Six episodes of bleeding were documented, five of which were in the prophylaxis group. Three consisted of oozing from surgical drains requiring blood transfusion, two patients had intraperitoneal collections and one experienced a gastric bleed. Only one required intervention consisting of percutaneous drainage of an intraperitoneal collection. The authors also examined multiple other risk factors including age, CTP class and Model for End-stage Liver disease scores, platelet count and intraoperative transfusion requirements. None of these affected the risk of VTE or bleed. Only the presence of varices was associated with increased risk of bleeding (P=0.05) (31).
One study examined 84 patients with cirrhosis who were treated with LMWH for either prophylactic or therapeutic indications (17). The authors noted that seven patients experienced an episode of variceal bleeding (8.3%), a rate comparable with the baseline rate in patients with advanced cirrhosis. There were no deaths or thromboembolic events during the observation interval. The authors concluded that the use of LMWH in patients with cirrhosis appeared to be safe, but acknowledged that their study was underpowered to definitely establish the safety of LMWH treatment in these patients.
The literature related to anticoagulation in patients with acute and chronic PVT may provide insight into the safety of therapeutic anticoagulation in cirrhosis. PVT is encountered in 10% to 25% of cirrhotic patients, but optimal management in cirrhosis was only recently addressed in expert consensus guidelines. The American College of Chest Physicians 2012 guidelines on antithrombotic therapy and prevention of thrombosis (2) recommend that patients with symptomatic splanchnic or hepatic vein thrombosis undergo anticoagulation therapy. They also recommend no anticoaulation if these conditions are incidentally found. Retrospective studies have shown that anticoagulation therapy is associated with improved rates of recanalization in acute PVT (32). One study investigating cirrhotic patients with chronic PVT treated with therapeutic enoxaparin found no significant bleeding complications after complete eradication of varices using band ligation despite 50% of patients having presented with variceal bleeding (33). Furthermore, therapeutic anticoagulation in patients with splanchnic venous thrombosis awaiting liver transplantation were not found to experience excess bleeding complications and, in fact, anticoagulation was associated with an overall survival benefit (34). Another study also did not detect excess bleeding events attributable to anticoagulation therapy in patients with PVT (35). This was true even in the presence of esophageal varices, as long as patients received appropriate prophylactic measures (ie, beta blocker or endoscopic therapy).
Finally, a recent abstract presented at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, held in San Francisco, California (USA), examined the use of enoxaparin in preventing PVT in patients with advanced stages of cirrhosis (36). Villa et al (36) performed a prospective, randomized controlled study among 70 patients with CTP class B-C cirrhosis. The primary end point was portal vein or mesenteric vein thrombosis, and secondary end points included overall survival and clinical decompensation. The authors also investigated the occurrence of bleeding and thrombocytopenia as safety end points related to anticoagulation. Participants received either enoxaparin 4000 IU daily or placebo for 12 months, followed by a 12-month observation period. No hemorrhagic events attributable to the active drug were evident at 24 months, although one patient developed thrombocytopenia secondary to the enoxaparin. In the first year, a significant reduction in the occurrence of PVT was apparent in the enoxaparin group compared with the placebo group (0% versus 16.7%). During the follow-up year, this effect was lost, with three PVTs occurring in the enoxaparin group (two to six months after discontinuation of the drug) and four in the placebo group. Of note, clinical decompensation was significantly less frequent in the enoxaparin arm and this effect was only partially lost after discontinuation of the active drug. Survival was also significantly increased in the enoxaparin arm. These findings are consistent with human and animal studies that suggest that a procoagulant imbalance in CLD favours progression of liver fibrosis and, conversely, that anticoagulant therapy can slow this process (4).
The risk of VTE in cirrhosis is an emerging concern and the notion of 'autoanticoagulation' appears to be unfounded. Currently, no clear evidence-based recommendations can be made with respect to VTE prophylaxis and therapy in patients with end-stage liver disease. Further investigation is needed to determine the utility of novel methods assessing coagulability and monitoring anticoagulation therapy in patients with CLD, as does the possible role for the new antithrombotic drugs with direct action on factor Xa or thrombin. Overall, the safety of prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulation in selected patients with cirrhosis, but without the presence of high-risk esophageal varices, appears to be comparable with other general medical patients. The most recent clinical practice guidelines from the American College of Physicians recommend pharmacological VTE prophylaxis with heparin or a related drug for hospitalized medical patients unless the assessed risk for bleeding outweighs the likely benefits. The guidelines also recommend against the use of mechanical prophylaxis with graduated compression stockings (37). Clinical practice must be individualized in this complex patient population. Based on the available evidence, it can be concluded that VTE prophylaxis is, overall, safe in selected patients. Importantly, all patients with cirrhosis should undergo periodical screening endoscopy to assess varices and the risk of bleeding. VTE treatment should be used in patients with minimal varices, no evidence of clinical bleeding and with an appropriate clinical indication.

This post totally brightened up my morning! It's pouring with rain here, dark and dreary. Oh these strawberries! Lovely…
I am so glad to be with you on the top 9. Your pie looks fabulous!
Congrats on your Top 9! Totally deserved!
Congratulations on your foodbuzz top 9, today!
Oh this pie is the stuff dreams are made of! Beautiful!
WOW WHEE Gal! Honors at Foodbuzz AND Gooseberry Patch – all in the same week? No wonder we're all so wild about your awesome recipes! Congrats to you!!!! Again….=)
that looks heavenly!
I am looking forward to trying this recipe! I have been making strawberry pie for many years but I have always used the glaze in a container.
This looks great and much tastier … but I will do one thing different:
I ALWAYS use a chocolate (Oreo or other) to make the strawberry pie! What a difference that chocolate crust makes in the flavor … the chocolate, the strawberries, and then the whipped cream (yes, REAL whipped cream) on top!
A family favorite …
or, if you want to be real creative for a 4th of July party or picnic, use 1/2 blueberries and 1/2 strawberries! Great flavor and a BEAUTIFUL dessert … also a family favorite at our reunions. I have often made it like that but my cousin named it the 4th of July pie!
This was delicious and easy! I made it a day in advance so I was worried the crust would be soggy but it was still flaky! I used only a 1/2 cup of sugar and extra strawberries. I served it with homemade whipped cream and chocolate drizzle on top, amazing! I plan on making this again for sure!
All of your recipes/food look amazing. I am going to try and work through all of them. 🙂
I make this pie with grapefruit & instead of using water I use the juice. It's delicious!
My Hubby has a container of fresh strawberries in the frig. I found your recipe for the pie & I'll suprize him with tonite! Thank You!
This is the recipe my grandma uses for her famous strawberry pies. Grandpa has a strawberry farm, so they've tried *all* the recipes! LOL! Mmm! Can't wait to get my hands on some fresh berries and make this pie again!
I am in Lubbock TX, but i was raised in Slaton TX just outside of town. We have a bakery that is very well known throughout the county in Slaton. They use to make these amazing fresh strawberry pies. After awhile though when we would visit they didn't taste the same. The filling tasted very artificial. I made this pie on Saturday and it took me back. Thank you!
I am making this pie for my hubby who turns 26 in 2 days. Your desserts are the best, and actually got my motivation to cook dinner from your recipe index!! Thank you so much!! Amazing!!!!!!
I just made the Strawberry Pie last night with fresh strawberries from my garden and your recipe is a huge hit!! Thanks so much. I saw it on Pinterest but I will be coming to your site for a lot more recipes. Thank You Bunches!!
How many ice cube trays do you have in your freezer? When you filled the sink, you must have had at least a dozen! Jealous here!
Question??? the glaze got under my pie crust, what did i do wrong. also is my pie ruined , will it be soggy. Its for a party tomorrow
I make this same pie, but I spread 4oz. softened cream cheese combined with 1 TBSP granulated sugar and 1/2 TSP real vanilla on the bottom crust before I put the strawberries and glaze in, and I top my pie with a dollop of equal parts of softened cream cheese and Fluff. Wowzas so yummy!
I have a question could i use frozen strawberries instead of fresh? I know fresh would taste best but they are out of season now would I have to alter anything if i was using frozen? thanks!
I love strawberries, this looks so good. Love your web site. Thanks!
This pie was delicious! Somebody gave me 2 one gallon containers of strawberries. I made 3 pies and the rest was used for strawberry shortcake. The only thing I did different which I think works out well…. after the gel mixure has cooled down I just folded the strawberries into the mixture and then poured into the pie shell. This recipe is a keeper for sure! Thanks!
You have to use fresh Strawberries or Peaches with peach jello. It's my fav. I lost my recipe moving so thank you. This is the same one I had.

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

Since Ikram Goldman, owner of the eponymous Chicago boutique, became the unofficial Secretary of Fashion to whom Michelle Obama turns for all her key sartorial decisions, East Coast arbiters of chic have been as twisted up as a braided leather belt. How can a mere retailer, not to mention one from the famously frumpy Midwest, have so much fashion clout? Oscar de la Renta, Arnold Scaasi and others say they don't understand why Mrs. Obama relies on a shopkeeper, when she could - and should - be going directly to them. "I don't think the inaugural gown was flattering in any way. She could have looked much better," sniped Scaasi in the New York Times with the cattiness that comes so naturally to those in the fashion world. He added that it was "strange to think that the wife of" a head of state "would choose clothes from only one store."
Apparently, he's forgotten about Marie Antoinette, the world's first clothes horse, who, like Michelle, relied mostly on one retailer to choose her outfits. Rose Bertin was a fat, porcine-faced seamstress who owned a fancy dress shop in Paris, where the French queen liked to shop. During the eighteenth century in France, dress merchants, called marchands de modes, were the most powerful style arbiters, and Bertin, thanks to her association with Marie Antoinette, grew to international fame, while setting a standard for fashion excess and snobbism that's endured to this day.
As a result of Bertin's power, according to Caroline Weber in her brilliant book, Queen of Fashion, the taste and aspirations of the queen's subjects were greatly elevated. So eager were women to ape Marie Antoinette's look that many were driven to squander family fortunes or accumulate staggering debt. Some of these Emma Bovarys before their time even fell so low as to take lovers to pay their dressmaker bills, thus leading to accusations that Marie Antoinette's fashion passion was destroying the morals of the nation. Could it happen here? In this economic climate, I wonder.
Since it opened in 2001, Ikram has been a favorite of the city's most fashionable women, including Mrs. Obama, who's been shopping here since her husband's books became best sellers several years ago. But now with the Obamas in the White House, and American women eager to emulate Michelle's elegance, Ikram's influence has grown. Suddenly, this pudgy, 41-year-old mother of infant twins, has a Bertinesque power to shape the fashion choices of women across the land.
In 1991, when I moved here with my family from New York, I felt as if I'd been exiled to Style Siberia. About the only good news on the fashion front was that my Bergdorf Goodman credit card worked at Neiman Marcus on Michigan Avenue, where my first year in town I found a black Marc Jacobs dress at half price. I also bought a Prada skirt on sale at Ultimo on Oak Street, the only place in Chicago that sold anything even remotely hip. Thanks to a couple of lively boutiques I'd ferreted out in my neighborhood on the near North Side, I managed to uphold a semblance of Manhattan chic. I'm proud to say I never once succumbed to crewneck sweaters, shapeless parkas, dowdy blazers or galoshes, and, as the years went by, it got easier to dress well. I've watched Chicago's fashion life evolve, and recently, there's been an explosion of design talent and independent boutiques across the city. Only now, though, with the Israeli-born Goldman, has Chicago reached its style apotheosis.
I've walked by Ikram many times, admiring the Lanvins, Yohji Yamamotos, Alaias, and Narcisco Rodriguezs in the window. One Christmas my husband gave me a gorgeous pair of silver drop earrings with green crystals from the store. And once, I actually talked to Ikram herself. I called her about a story I was doing for a magazine, but when I mispronounced Proenza Schouler, the high end brand co-designed by two former students of the Parsons School of Design, she snapped at me officiously: "If you don't know how to say it properly, you shouldn't be asking me about them." Then she hung up.
Remembering that experience, I've been afraid to go in the store -- until last week, when curiosity overwhelmed me, along with a need to buy a cocktail dress for several upcoming spring events. As a buffer against what I expected to be the sales staff's disdain for my mid-priced, cloth-coated person, I took my friend, Monica, a willowy, black-haired beauty who looks as if she knows not only how to pronounce Proenza Schouler but how to wear it well.
We walked over on a gray, blustery morning. I let Monica, dazzling as usual in leather pants and a full length fur, push through the glass doors first. Though the boutique has strong Asian accents - filigreed wood doors hanging on the back wall, exotic ceramics and dark wood display cases that look as if they came from a Chinese museum -- Ikram has the feel of Paris: everything is exquisite and très cher. Immediately, I saw ten things I wanted, including what looked like a zebra fur handbag with a sculptured silver clasp and a pair of diamond earrings by Loree Rodkin.
Ikram Goldman was no where in sight. Several sales associates, dour looking women in black, and one glum man in a white polo shirt, stood around. They didn't appear to have much to do. Besides us, there was only one shopper in the store - a stocky, jeans- clad woman who was shopping for tee-shirts, a strange pursuit in Chicago's temple of style.
"Are you looking for anything special?" a pretty Asian girl in an adorable green print dress by Tracy Feith asked with a bright smile. She said her name was Jun and asked us our first names. When I recovered from the shock that Jun wasn't a snob, I explained to her my need for a basic spring cocktail dress. As Jun set off cheerfully to search the racks, Monica and I inspected the arched nooks holding shoes and scarves, handbags and sweaters.
Eventually, Jun led us to the rear of the store, to a circular fitting area lined with mirrors and fawn velvet covered benches. A beige carpet imparted a boudoir hush, drowning out the sounds from the rest of the boutique. I tried on seven dresses. The least expensive, at $1,250, was the same red and black print silk Thakoon that Michelle Obama wore the night her husband was nominated for president, only cut several inches shorter. The most expensive, at $6,745, was a structured black silk and chiffon column embroidered with white birds by Alexander McQueen.
I modeled each of the dresses for Monica and Jun, enjoying their exclamations of enthusiasm. Jun was really getting into it, finding different shoes to try on with each dress and offering suggestions for alterations (an extra charge). There was one dress, we all agreed, that stood out - a violet silk blend Jason Wu with embroidered black florets. It had a fitted bodice and straight skirt that reached just below the knee and a graceful neckline that draped over the shoulders. It fit perfectly, as if had been made for me. It was the most beautiful dress I'd ever worn, and I understood perfectly why Michelle Obama is so drawn to this young designer. The only problem was the price -- $3,900.
If I put the dress on my credit card, I'd be doing my part to stimulate the economy. But then I'd have to pay for it at the end of the month. I left Ikram empty handed. Emma Bovary I am not.

WTA Tour Tennis
Women's tennis is rapidly growing in popularity, as more casual fans catch on to the game's athletic intensity and sexy competitors such as Ms. Anna Kournikova. Konami's decidedly limp-wristed WTA Tour Tennis, the first tennis game to make its way to Xbox, could single-handedly erode that budding fan base in one fell swoop.
Tennis lets you choose from 20 of the most popular female racket-handlers in the world, but it loses points out of the gate with the noticeable absence of the aforementioned Kournikova and Venus Williams, two of the sport's most recognizable faces. Aside from that, there are 10 courts to choose fromeach with a different surfaceand three play modes: Tournament, Tour, and Exhibition.
The women of Tennis do tend to resemble their human counterparts, but the adequate graphics can't cover up the sluggish gameplay that makes even the quickest matches a choreand a boreto sit through. The controls, which are spotty at best, assign a different type of shot to each of the controller's four primary buttons, but there's really no discernable difference between them. The real killer, though, is that, unlike Sega's classic Virtua Tennis, WTATT lacks any sense of speed or strategy. Matches take an eternity to complete, which makes finishing a tournament more a test of will power and patience than reflexes.
If you simply can't wait to spend some time playing tennis on your Xbox, then WTATT may be the game for you. But you'd have more fun watching tennis on ESPN even if the TV is off.

On The Media
On The Media, hosted by Bob Garfield and Brooke Gladstone, is America's only national radio program devoted to media criticism and analysis, lifting the veil on how the media works.

Bacon Bits
On Monday the WHO classified high consumption of processed meats like bacon and sausage as a class one risk factor for colorectal cancer. But contrary to headlines, it's NOT the same as smoking. Brooke talks with Ivan Oransky, who explains what the announcement actually means and how we should interpret it. Also, we revisit our Breaking News Consumer's Handbook: Health News Edition with Gary Schwitzer to help you navigate the perennially murky world of health and diet reporting.

The new musical, Allegiance, starring George Takei is in previews now and will open on Broadway early next month. The show is set during the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and is inspired by true life events in Takei's life. We thought we'd revisit a conversation Bob had last year with Takei, in which the two discuss Allegiance, Takei's activist work, and of course, Star Trek.

I remember when I was asking questions about the GE-4 and the PW JTF-17A, and found out that they both used low afterburner in cruise someone said that some afterburner actually improves specific range.
First of all, what's specific range? Second of all, how does it improve it?
