- Or, a Four-Night Stay for Up to Ten Guests in a Four-Bedroom Private Vacation Villa ($390)

The Destination
Orlando is a roller-coaster ride—literally. Florida's largest inland city has more theme parks than any other destination in the country. But, nestled in the state's wetlands, it's also so much more. Swamp romps, gator meet-and-greets, and palm-lined canopy zipline tours across the lake-slaked plains offer plenty of natural thrills. And when the sun sets and golfers set aside their clubs, this typically family-friendly destination knows how to also amuse the older kids-at-heart with high-end restaurants and decadent night clubs set to irresistible Latin beats. Whatever you crave for amusement, you'll find it here.
The Digs
Overseeing an array of villas in the Orlando area, Florida Homeowners Direct offers landscaped and furnished homes close to the city's main draws. Fully-equipped kitchens surrounded by dining and living areas are ideal for entertaining, and bedrooms that feature flat-screen televisions and en-suite bathrooms lend themselves to relaxing conclusions to days spent outdoors. Many homes also include private pools, if a pre-theme park swim is in the cards.
The Diversions
• Get close to alligators during the "Adventure Hour" at Gatorland
• Ride the classic attractions at any of the area's world-famous theme parks
• Start your day with a calming walk through Harry P. Leu Gardens
• Take a wakeboarding lesson at the Orlando Watersports Complex
• View wildlife as you paddle along with Orlando Kayak Tours

Cutting Aggression
With its punchy response and bright, glassy tone, Mb10 is yet another innovation from the MEINL R&D team. We introduced B10 bronze (90% copper, 10% tin) so drummers would have another fresh sound to add to their set-up. Shaped by computerized hammering and buffed to a brilliant finish, Mb10 is extremely durable and responds with a glassy shimmer that cuts with aggression.

Kirstin Edwards' skin is literally tearing away from her body.
She screams in agony every day from an extremely rare autoimmune disease called systemic scleroderma.
Her only hope is an emerging treatment not available in New Zealand and never used before on a Kiwi.
Kirstin, 27, was diagnosed five and half years ago after the tips of her fingers went a purple-white colour.
Initially, she said, it was painful, but manageable, with blood thinning medication. But the last three years had been "horrible" as the disease progressed rapidly.
"My skin is so tight all my fingers are tearing. My arms are stuck in an 'L' shape and the skin is splitting, which is causing ulcers."
The outgoing and sociable woman now spends most of the day in bed at her parents' Dannevirke house. It takes almost five hours to change her bandages and have a shower - all done by her mother Wendy Edwards.
"I am trapped in my own body. It's scary but I can't die of being scared, I have got to keep fighting."
Kirstin consulted about six rheumatologists. But her elder sister, Nicole Edwards, refused to give up and spent hundreds of internet hours researching the disease.
In September last year, there was a glimmer of hope after Sydney-based haematologist Dr John Moore recommended an autologous stem cell transplant - a procedure which stops the immune system attacking the skin.
The transplant has been used to treat other diseases such as leukemia since the 1970s. It was introduced as a treatment for autoimmune diseases 15 years ago, but is still on trial.
Moore said the treatment cost about $48,000, was "dangerous" and only for patients with severe systemic scleroderma.
This week Palmerston North haematologist Dr Bart Baker said the Auckland and Palmerston North transplant units had been asked to consider the treatment instead of sending Kirstin overseas.
Donations for Kirstin's treatment can be made via Givealittle.
Systemic scleroderma
It affects about 1 in 5000 to 10,000 people and causes the skin to thicken due to an excess of collagen. As a result, Kirstin's skin is gradually bursting like a sausage. Eventually, the scar tissue will thicken and suffocate her organs.

PlayBook: Shooting The Moon With the San Francisco 49ers
After a disasterous wild card round in which we went 0-4, we're trying to make sense of the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs
Source: Flickr: Aaron Rodgers
We're sticking to straight lines this week after trying to inadvertently shoot the moon with last week's Wild Card picks, going 0-4 and being ostracized by the gambling community at large. No one will touch us, they won't even take our money until we can at least break even and it's a slow burn to the Super Bowl when you can't manage to cover even one game.
Selah. All our choices were wrong.
This week's lines:
Green Bay (+3) over San Francisco
Any number of intangible factors come into play here: revenge, for one, everyone for some reason doubting Aaron Rodgers receiving corps for another. They're all finally healthy and when that's the case, Rodgers has a lot of options: Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley and the sneaky good Randall Cobb. That's a hell of a lot of talent for even a secondary like San Fran's to cover.
But let's not discount the Niners just yet. Since Colin Kaepernick's coup d'etat, they've developed into a two dimensional offense with the emergence (finally!) of Michael Crabtree. They've bested some pretty offensively minded teams this season (the Patriots, the Saints, the Seahawks and shit, the Packers in Week 1). If you had to make a call on who the more well-rounded team was you'd have to say San Francisco.
But Green Bay and the points? It's too good to pass up.
Atlanta (-2.5) over Seattle
One of less reported injuries last Sunday, shadowed almost entirely by RGIII, was the injury to Seattle defensive end Chris Clemons. He basically anchored their defense, appearing on the field for 20 per cent more snaps than even the second most common player. His injury leaves the Seahawks, who have been surprisingly inefficient at stopping the run in a jam.
Now I know you're saying: wait, their playing Atlanta. Michael "The Burner" Turner is on the wrong side of 30 and Jacquizz Rodgers hasn't been anything to write home about. And you're right. The Falcons ranked among the worst in rushing offense (somewhere down in the bottom percentile in almost every statistical category) but Clemons' injury might just be enough for them to turn in even an average game on the ground and keep the clock moving. If they can come out throwing (which they've been known to do) and get ahead, they should be able to stave off the Seahawks.
New England (-9.5) over Houston
It's hard to believe that this Sunday will be the first time the Patriots top four receivers will work together all-season; with Gronk, Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd all green-lit and good to go, a Patriots team that has managed to lead the league in offense all season anyway will finally be at full strength and that's bad news for a Texans team that looks like it's about ready to roll over and die.
In last week's wild card matchup, Houston mustered little more than a touchdown and a couple field goals while giving up a pick-six inside their own 20 and looking pretty lethargic all around. And while we could credit the 198 yards accrued by the Bengals and 0/9 shutout on third down conversions to the Texan's defense, we won't; the Bengals blew that game all on their own. With Houston trying out second and third stringers like Brandon Harris and Shiloh Keo in the secondary (in the playoffs), the Pats will take advantage of the weak matchups out of the gate, at the line and light up this secondary by far more than 9.5 points.
Denver (-9.5) over Baltimore
If there is one stat to define the Broncos success this season it's this one: Denver's offensive line has allowed only 45 quarterback hits (good for first in the league) and 21 sacks (second). If Peyton Manning is allowed to stand and target even the most mediocre of receivers with impunity he will succeed. He doesn't rely on outlandish arm strength, mobility or muscle; he's a cerebral kind of guy, maybe the best there ever was, and if he's allowed to lollygag all day long behind the line he's going to pick you apart.
As he has already done once this season against the Ravens. With their once notable defense ravaged by both time and age, Peyton lit them up to the tune of 34-17 in Week 15, winning the battle on both sides of the ball at the line of scrimmage and providing virtually no cover in the backfield, with Eric Decker and Knowshon Moreno both breaking the century mark and Demaryius Thomas not even being much of a factor.
The one redeeming factor for the Ravens might be that Ray Rice didn't do much in that game; if the Ravens can spread the Broncos thin on play-action they might have more success on offense, bluffing the pass, but if they can't break through that O-Line (and considering their injuries on defense, that seems unlikely) Peyton will again have a field day and this game will over before it ever really got started. If the Ravens get behind, their offense hasn't shown it can catch up.

A Novice Hiker Takes on the Mountains of Patagonia

I had already been enjoying the relaxed pace of rural Patagonia for a couple weeks and I'd decided to settle down in El Chalten, the trekking capital of Argentina, for a week. We set out for Cerro Fitz Roy base camp, a 26 kilometre round trip. This granite spear peaks at 3,375 metres and attracts hardcore climbers from the world over. From here the real work began.

Late Sunday night, cheers rang throughout NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, CA. In November, the team had launched a high-tech robot, called Curiosity, into space. On Sunday, after more than eight months of travel, Curiosity reached its destination: Mars.
The mobile robot, or rover, landed in a crater near Mars's equator. Minutes later, it sent back to Earth a black-and-white picture of its own wheel on Mars soil. "We've landed in a nice flat spot," said engineer Adam Steltzner, who led the landing team. "Beautiful, really beautiful."
A Tricky Landing
Curiosity had a particularly risky landing. Weighing about a ton, the car-sized rover is the heaviest Mars explorer yet. The previous three Mars rovers relied on giant airbags for a soft, safe landing. But Curiosity's weight made landing more complicated.
NASA scientists planned a number of steps to slow down the spacecraft carrying Curiosity so it would not go crashing into Mars. As the craft neared the Red Planet, a giant parachute popped out, helping to slow down the landing. Later, powerful engines fired from the craft to slow it down some more.
Much to the relief of NASA scientists, Curiosity steered itself to a safe and gentle landing. "That rocked!" said Richard Cook, the mission's deputy project manager, shortly after the landing. "Seriously, wasn't that cool?"
Why Are We Exploring?
This is NASA's seventh successful landing on Mars. Over it's 98-week mission, Curiosity will search for the essential ingredients of life, including oxygen, and might find an answer to the question of whether or not Mars once sustained life.
Scientists decided against a safer landing on a plain and instead chose to land in a crater, where water tends to gather. The crater is next to the Martian mountain Sharp, which is three times the size of Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth. "We're hoping to find materials that interacted with water," said John Grotizenger, the mission project's scientist.
NASA scientists hope that Curiosity will make some big discoveries over the course of the mission. But for the moment, they are thrilled that their latest rover made it to Mars safely. JPL Director Charles Elachi compared his team of scientists to a team of Olympic athletes. "This team came back with gold," he said.

We start the day with a traditional Balinese dance. So bizarre, this dance which was about good and evil. Strange, elaborite costumes and twaing music in the background. It was an hour long performance; and if one looked at the crowd you can see a focused expression of confusion.
From there, Kutuk took us throughout the village of Ubud. Ubud is a craftsman town, full of: stone and wood carvers, painters, and silver smiths. The village was split up into seperate art districts, with the children all learning the specific trade. Quite fascinating, really. We got to go into a silversmiths "factory" of sorts and got to witness the entire process of bits of pure silver being turned into beautiful jewlry and items. What hard and laborous work
From Ubud, Kutuk took us to Monkey Forest!! OMG. We buy some bananas. BIG MISTAKE. You even been chased by mob of monkeys? These monkeys could smell them and would climb, beg and steal. Even if you didnt have a babana, they come for everything they could: sunglasses, cameras, bracelets... And it almost like they were doing it to be funny. For some reason, they really like Mathew and they would jump on him and start grooming his hair! I liked the little monkeys, but the big monkeys freaked me out. THere is one picture we have of me sitting down "un-aware" and mathew goes, "whoa, thats a big monkey right next to you", and i feak out and mathew takes the picture. Haha.:/ THe monkeys are concidered sacred here and in the middle of this forest is an ancient temple where monks still take care of the monkeys. This is also the site where villagers get buried then cremated. Everyone must get cremated here, but because of lack of funds, some souls have to wait many years before the family can afford to cremate them
From the monkey forest, Kutuk drove us the Gunung Batukau, (an active volcano). Along the way, police made a roadblock and extorted 10,000 RP from us. We think it would have been more if it was mathew or me driving the car. 9,900 RP = $1.oo - so, they just got a dollar out of us. Jeesh. So, it turns out that in Indonesia, if you want to be a police officer, you have to pay the government $6 millian Rupias (about $600). They extort to get there money back, and everyone is seems to be used to it.
The volcano was beautiful with a huge lake at the base on half the volcano. The other half's base, you can see old lava flow, narrowly missing huts along the way. We got to eat a bufett lunch at a place with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the volcano. It was a very nice place..... one fruit tasted like cheese :/.....
From there, Kutuk drove like a mad man (typical Balinese style) and at 80 mph through narrow congested roads, he got us home in about an hour.
All in all, a very good day! That night, we went out on the town with our new hotel friends to BOUNTY,a 4 level club that is a big ship with 4 dance floors, pool tables and kareoke), skygarden (a five story "outside" club - no 4th wall all the way up), and Espresso - the best live band EVER :D.
On the note of all these buildings: everywhere you go, you see the most imaginitive, creative and bizarre archtiecture (from floating DJ "concrete tubes" to a five story building with only 3 walls, glass floors and no roof). Every single day we just are amazed. No building codes let you do a lot of things!!

At 32 I don't see anyone of great value for the Giants so therefore they must trade back! I propose they trade back into the middle to late 2nd round for a 3rd rounder this year and a 1st rounder next year. And with the 50 something pick in the 2012 Draft the giants select
RD2A- Doug Martin RB, Boise St.
--- Martin is going to be special at the next level. He has a very similar playing style and build to Ray Rice, MJD, and a little bit of Frank Gore too. He has the frame to handle the pounding of a feature back, is a quality receiver out of the backfield, and is also a very good pass protector. These three attributes will make Martin a 3 down back in the NFL.
RD2-64- Chandler Jones DE, Syracuse
--- Not another DE!! Yep another DE. Osi is not only getting old, but he may not even be on the team in 2013. With the impending loss of Tolly to free agency, and Kiwi making the switch to linebacker, quality depth at the DE position is paramount. Jones is somewhat of a project, but he has the size and length the Giants like at DE along with a great motor, and some serious potential.
RD3A- Michael Egnew TE, Missouri
--- Now that the Giants signed Bennett, that gives them some breathing room at TE for at least a year. This breathing room allows the Giants to go after a project TE like Egnew who has all the physical tools to become an elite TE in the NFL. He's athletically somewhere between Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski.
RD3-96- Vontaze Burfict LB, Arizona St.
--- Why not?? At pick 96 he can't possibly provide less of an impact than Ramses Barden has so far right?? Besides if he turns out to be half of Ray Lewis like everyone thought he would be earlier in the year, then you'll be looking out our best LB in 3 years.
RD4-7- Honestly there's no point in even considering these rounds with still over a month left until the draft. The Giants should look to take some good OLine depth, WR depth, Safety depth, and some DT depth in no particular order.


text: Today I went to get my truck (signature pic) emissions checked which is required every other year here in Ohio, so I am thinking no problem passing because the truck has only 9,500 miles and is in awesome condition. Well I pulled up and they did the gas pressure check and it passed, and then they pulled the truck forward and proceeded to put the OBD II scanner on it to check for codes or any problems. The next thing I know the guy is asking me if I have done any modification or engine upgrades such as a tuner or something like that, I told him absolutely not even though I had taken my Hyperpac off of it prior to leaving the house. He said that it had failed because the system had been completely erased by someone, so I stood there thinking about what I had done wrong to fail this test and then it occured to me. I told him I had a cut off switch for when I put the truck in storage for the winter to keep it from dying, then the guy tells me that every time I disconnected that battery it is erasing all of the codes and that it takes time for the computer to relearn all of the driving conditions such as o2 temps, egr valve, basically everything on the truck. I had only ran the truck about 20 miles before going up to the emissions place so It didn't have time to relearn I guess, he then gives me the option to run an RPM test which I had never heard of so I agreed to it. They put the truck in neutral and revved it up to what sounded like 5,000 RPM's and then they let off completely and just shut it off right away, which I wasn't too happy with them doing that to my truck! IT PASSED FINALLY! They threw out the results for the failed computer test, and they gave me a pass slip for the RPM test and I was able to get my license plates afterwards. I am going to have the same problem with my S-10 too, because I have a disconnect on it too to keep the battery from draining. So if you have a battery disconnect on your newer vehicle, run it for at least a week before you take it to the emissions station because it won't pass! Call me a dummy but I didn't know that the cut-off would mess with the computer like that, but I have to have the disconnect otherwise I will go through about 2 batteries a year from my lights. Here's a pic f the disconnect by the way, in case you were curious.

I have a kenyan box. Newly homed queen and 4 pounds of bees. In the box two weeks. Queen took 4 days to get out of the sugar cube keeping her in.
My bees are building comb and honey like crazy. I took the sugar water off of them a couple days ago.
the comb keeps being built crooked and makes the top pieces of wood stick together. A couple days ago, I took a knife and cut each one apart and they seem to have built it back as one large mass.
Any ideas why or suggestions to stop?
I have comb in 8 rails in two weeks.

Photo: Keith W. JenkinsGuardian Angel Lisa Sliwa and Councilman Charley Yancey
This article originally appeared in the September 4, 1984 issue of the Boston Phoenix
As he does every night, the custodian is riding the red line from Mattapan to his job in Central Square, where he's supposed to start work at midnight. He watches as a group of Guardian Angels leaves the car at Fields Corner, and he confides to another passenger that he can't understand why anyone is so worked up about the Angels and what they did in Mattapan. "Anybody with common sense can't be against them," he says.
He is black and in his 50s. He's lived in Mattapan all his life. Now he lives in fear. Fear of being on the streets alone at night. Alone with the kids who hang out there "drinking beer, smokin' reefer, trying to out-cuss each other&ldots;. And you can't say nothin' to them 'cause they'll kill you."
The custodian was not on the corner of Morton and West Selden Streets along the Mattapan-Dorchester line the night of Wednesday, August 22, when a squad of six Angels went looking for trouble. It was around 9 o'clock. They were on a bus headed up Morton Street, and as it approached West Selden, they sense they'd found trouble -- about 20 kids hanging out at the corner. In their red berets and T-shirts, the Angels jumped off the bus. But this time, instead of preventing trouble, they got into it. There was a discussion, followed by some taunts from the neighborhood kids and then a shoving match, which broke up before anyone was seriously hurt.
The next night, around the same time, the Morton Street bus brought the Angels back again - back to assert their right to patrol the neighborhood. But the patrol had grown, either to a dozen (by Angel accounts) or to 20 (according to some witnesses). The street-corner crowd had grown to about 60. First there was an argument, then fists flew. Minutes later, as the police arrived, a bottle sailed out of the crowd. A 16-year-old Angel tried to deflect the bottle with his arm and was cut. Police broke up the crowd and took the young Angel to the hospital for stitches to his hand.
With the Angels' decision to meet force with force, a molehill was turned into a mountain, and that mountain got bigger and bigger in the days that followed. In their zealous pursuit of some abstract form of order and community safety, the Angels left confusion and chaos in their wake. After a week of histrionics, failed diplomacy at City Hall, and tests of territoriality in Mattapan, it was easy to forget the story's small-time beginnings.
Georgette Watson, a long-time anti-crime activist in the Dorchester-Mattapan community and an early supporter of the Angels was furious. After the first two nights of friction, she condemned their "gang mentality" and practically championed the kids who'd confronted them. "Crime and hostility are present in all neighborhoods," she said. "The kids were hanging out because it was hot." She suggested that if the Angels had known the neighborhood, they might not have gotten into the first night's trouble.

An important part of the answer to the country's energy woes could be blowing in the prairie wind, according to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) plant geneticist Michael Casler. He has spent the past 10 years breeding switchgrass, an eight-foot-plus native plant that was an integral part of the tall grass prairies that once dominated America's Midwest.
As a breeder, Casler is mostly concerned with the plant's bioenergy-friendly attributes, including its ability to accumulate large amounts of biomass and tolerate environmental stress. Casler works at the agency's U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, Wis.
Recently, he began looking at switchgrass from another standpoint—as a restorer of once-pristine prairies. Historically, a sprawling seas of grasses once stretched from Montana and the Dakotas down to Texas, with pockets of prairie as far east as New York. Now, with much of this land fragmented or altered, only a patchwork of remnant prairies remains.
Numerous federal, state and private conservation efforts are examining how best to revive these vestigial prairies. But a question of genealogy always arises: Which switchgrass varieties should be planted that will be in keeping with a site's genetic legacy?
Some conservationists insist on using only long-established, local varieties of switchgrass. Others argue that modern-day cultivars can appropriately be used.
Along with ARS scientist Kenneth Vogel in Lincoln, Neb., Casler set out to bring clarity to this debate and, hopefully, ease the task of grassland restoration.
After two summers spent trekking native Midwestern prairies, plucking samples and sending them back to his laboratory, Casler discovered that today's agronomically important switchgrass cultivars are nearly identical genetically to their grassy ancestors.
The study's findings are good news for prairie restorers, who can confidently tap a wider pool of switchgrass cultivars and local varieties for conservation projects. And switchgrass growers can take satisfaction knowing their fields still are, in many ways, symbolic of the country's rich grassy past.

He was their big play guy, but not a go to receiver...that's why I'd prefer Jarrett. As for all the guys who are so high on Hurd, Austin, and Crayton, I think they are homers for sure. Crayton and Hurd may or may not someday be able to play as #2 and #3 receivers...but there are no guarantees....Crayton has good hands but has a hard time staying healthy and disappears when needed the most over the past couple of years....add that to Parcells claim that he has a hard time remembering or performing at a high level unless he's out there every day, and I don't see a guy who should be expected to be a starter. Hurd and Austin didn't get on the field enough to do much of anything besides special teams....it would be worth gambling if we were only watching 1 starter get long in the tooth, but with both most likely to start declining in the next couple of years, I would jump all over a guy like Jarrett who is young, who runs great routes, who got much more physical and DID beat press coverage the last half of the year and who makes the tough catches in traffic as well. You land a guy like Jarrett and you have one of your starters for the next generation of Cowboys, be it #1 or #2. Personally, I think Jarrett's game translates to what we're used to seeing from Irvin more than anyone I've seen coming out in a long time....runs good routes and gets YAC....to me that was Irvin when he was at the U....he was not the top WR in his class either....I know Sterling Sharp went first among WR's that year, and I'm thinking Irvin went 3rd, but I can't remember who the other WR was that year...I could be wrong.

Dems to Obama: You should really exercise some executive action on climate change
posted at 6:01 pm on January 24, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
President Obama's conspicuous mentions of his born-again climate-change priorities in his second inaugural on Monday seemed at least partially designed to reassure the environmental lobby that his neglect of their favorite climate and energy issues since the start of the presidential campaign season is officially over. How much the president can really do for their pet interests, however, is up in the air — much like the gun-control debate, the president can't 'accomplish' major items like cap-and-trade or international emissions treaties without the approval of Congress.
As we're all painfully aware, however, the president has plenty of other means at his disposal for shaping environmental and energy policy — and certain Democrats are encouraging to go full throttle on the executive actions and administrative fiat on the climate-change front.
"Congress has not been interested in acting, especially in the House, in the last two years. So we're calling on the president to develop a plan for the administration to take action without action without Congress. … That may well spur Congress to act," Waxman, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told reporters Thursday. …
Noting that, Whitehouse, Waxman and Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) laid out a menu of options for executive action on climate change in a Thursday letter to Obama. Among them were moves federal agencies could take to curb greenhouse gas emissions and enlisting national laboratories to pump out clean-energy technology.
The letter referenced using "broad authorities to lower heat-trapping emissions," an allusion to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ability to regulate emissions from coal-fired power plants.
The green lobby, of course, is totally on board with skirting Congress, and they want President Obama to both talk the talk and walk the walk:
Environmental advocacy groups hope President Barack Obama will live up to the words of his second inaugural address that put climate change front and center on the national agenda even though he rarely mentioned it during the presidential campaign.
But the same advocates, including the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council, say the president should use the power of the executive branch to further those aims rather than pursuing a congressional strategy. …
"Congress is a place where good ideas go to die," she said. "There is a tremendous amount that his administration can do without Congress. He has the authority; he doesn't have to wait for Congress."
So far, that seems to be precisely what the White House has in mind: More of the same EPA regulations, green-energy subsidies, and bureaucratic approaches of yester-term are going to be the order of the day, so as to avoid too many job-killing restrictions at once and still dance around the soothing "all-of-the-above" approach they've been touting for awhile now. Weaksauce:
Energy insiders say the White House will dribble out executive actions and federal rules over the next four years — the same low-key, bureaucratic approach the administration has taken since 2009. …
"He led off with climate change. I don't think you can ask for more than that," said the official, who also urged caution about not expecting too much too soon. "A little bit of patience is warranted, but there has been a lot of strategy work going on." …
Most important, EPA will be rolling out standards for new power plants beneficial to natural gas and that would essentially ban construction of new coal units. A second set of rules is also coming for aging electric utilities. There's no schedule yet for finishing either set of regulations, though a senior Obama administration official said there's reason to stretch it out to force opponents to the table.

@joeyates_round - Not the right result for a decent performance. I will always keep the faith though.
@OliPriceBates - Mertesacker, Benayoun and Arteta all played very well.
@scooby_afc - We played well, just unlucky. Aside from Hennessey, Rosicky was MotM for me. Some good performances, onto QPR!

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Perhaps you can put something in front of your fabric on boards. I would be afraid of the front edges fading from the sunlight. That happened to me, so now I have a quilted cover hanging in front. Just a thought.
Your inspecter is the best kind to have. Congratulations on getting this started before 'the future' comes to you. This way you will always have space in your world for you!
Enjoy the day, Chickadee_42us
Lucky lady! Now it's time to start messing it up!
It warms my heart for a 22 year old to be such a sewing enthusiast! Love your space and your inspector. :-)
While I am jealous of your organized space, I was also excited to open your post and see we have the same Singer sewing machine. I just got mine for Christmas so I am still learning all it does- so far, I really like it but I haven't really tried all the specialty stitches. I just retired from my job and decided to learn how to quilt-thus, the new machine. I was reluctant to purchase a really expensive machine in case I got too frustrated with my new hobby and decided to quit. So far, I am really enjoying the machine and my new hobby. I particularly loooove buying fabric. What's your opinion of the Quantum?
Thank you everyone for the nice comments! I love coming to this board to "hang out" with like minded people!
Fortyniner- so far I love my quantum. I have had it for only about 5 months but I have sewn my heart out and quilted two quilts on it! No problems yet! Like you I haven't found the need yet to mess around with all of the 600 different stitch types yet my favorite features are the top load bobbin and the automatic thread cutter! I hope to someday in the future purchase a long arm machine to quilt on and use my quantum for piecing I taught myself how to sew and how to quilt on a Singer so purchasing another Singer seemed like a good purchase especially considering the price of the machine on Amazon! I hope you like your quantum!
22 yrs. old and wonderfully organized....You must be proud ...love your space and your furbaby...we've had several of the "shelties" and they soooo smart and loyal dogs.
with a passion for quilting and vintage machines..Singers: 99, 4 featherweights, Redeye 66, Lotus 66, Phoenix 27, 15-91, 301A

Lovely space and darling critter!
From the artist formerly known as Missus Fear...Hi, my name is Tracy and I am a hobbyaholic.
You definitely have a super space in the making and obviously your quilt inspector thinks so too, keep up the good work
What an awesome sewing space. Love it.

Fast vs Slow Roasting
I want to start a dialogue surrounding fast vrs slow roasting and the effect on body and acidity in the cup, caused by the speed of the roast.

They are using my picture of six nucs boxes on a table without giving me credit.
I'm guessing that the photo you are referring to is the one at this page?
Here is Ollie's post #13 from 2007 with the same photo as in the link above.
Apparently, it was hijacked from Beesource! Beesource copyrights from 2007 are expired now, right Barry?
The hijackers didn't even bother to rename the JPG filename (beetable001.jpg), cuz that is how I found it with Search ...

No, it is probably on Photobucket. I am going to have to make my photos more private. One guy locally here selling nucs is using another of my pics on Craigslist. I see my photos from my Beesource posts more and more on Google searches. How do I make them less hijackable?
> How do I make them less hijackable?
One way to make them less desirable to hijack in the first place is to add a so-called "watermark" with your name before you make the photo public.
The Bee Key Ring on the right this page is an example of a photo with a watermark:
Adding a watermark is fairly easy with most photo editors. Once you figure out the first one, it should be easy to repeat on other photos.
If you are in need of a PC based Photo Editor, I like the free Irfanview. Yes, watermarks are straightforward in Irfanview.
If you want an online way to add watermarks, Photobucket is recommending pixlr.com to do that.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Contacting Criaglist concerning your pix used in their ads or the ISP for use in someone's blog or website and making a DMCA complaint will usually result in pretty quick takedown of the offending ad/website.
If folks whose pics are stolen make it a habit of enforcing their copyrights, then as the practice of enforcing our rights grows fewer and fewer thieves will consider images online "free for the taking"
Do I assume correctly that Photbucket based pics are free for the taking?
You should read the Photobucket Terms of Service. While you still own the copyright to your photos, if you upload to Photobucket and make photos "public", you are granting a license to allow them to be used for non-commercial purposes.
Mark your photos with your name/copyright if you want to discourage use by others. If you have a bunch of photos to watermark, the aforementioned Irfanview offers a "batch" process that can be used to mark a group of photos, instead of having to do it one at a time.
- By making your content public, you are also giving other Members on Photobucket the right to copy, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce and create derivative works from it via the Site, third party websites or applications (for example, via services allowing Members to order prints of Content or t-shirts and similar items containing Content, and via social media websites), provided such use is not for a commercial purpose.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
>provided such use is not for a commercial purpose.
They are using it for commercial purposes, it accompanies information about selling and buying nucs. They are a very closed group. No contact information on their newsletter, the contact website of the women who used the photo is defunct, the association's Facebook Page requires registration.
No image is copy proof. All anyone has to do is a screen capture and you have it. An obvious watermark is probably the most secure, but that leaves a mark of course. Whenever I've seen my images used elsewhere, I make it clear to the site owner that they do not have permission to use it and I will pursue legal avenues if need be.
If they refuse to take action, bad publicity always gets their attention!
Regards, Barry
If they had acknowledged your picture with a proper credit, would you have felt OK?
(Using without royalty instead of stealing?)
I don't know if you are directing this question to me or odfrank. As it relates to me, no, I still would not be OK with it as they didn't get my permission to use it. When I do give permission, I always insist that credit/permission granted is given along with the image.
Regards, Barry
Xeenabeena, please know the following is posted as gently as possible. It does appear you didn't know it's illegal to use images you find on the internet. I just wanted to let you know it is illegal, and just not right.
First, I just PMed OdFrank to let him know you posted here. If he doesn't respond, the right thing to do would be to take his picture down. Him not responding to a request for permission from you does not mean he gives permission. That would be like asking to use his hive tool, then using it anyway when he didn't say yes.
Just because images show up in a Google search doesn't mean they're free. If I did a Google image search for "Wayne County Beekeepers", I'm sure to get some results from your site. Using your rationale, I could copy any of them that I wanted and post them wherever I wanted. But legally I can't because they're yours. Without you saying I can use them, I can't and shouldn't. Doing so would be like taking your hive tool without asking. Doesn't matter if I didn't use it for commercial purposes - I still took it and used it without your permission.
Or find free images by searching for Creative Commons Licensed images. Creative Commons License is a license the creator/owner of an image gives it stating how it can be used, sometimes for free. There are many types - some to use for free no matter what, some to use for free for non-commercial use only, etc. But please note that (I think) all of them require you give credit to the original maker/owner. Just go to the link above to read about types, find the type of license you can use, then search for those types of images. There are online listings that do take a bit to find, but they're out there.
Or, if you posted here asking for photos and promising to give credit or links back to their site, you may find someone willing to let you use theirs. But you gotta' ask first.

A sheet so clean, you could swear it was a Canadiens power play.
• AUDIO: Randy Cunneyworth
The Canadiens practised this morning in Brossard before setting off to Pittsburgh. The Penguins await Friday, and then it's on to Toronto to face the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Head coach Randy Cunneyworth hinted during his news briefing that there might be lineup changes coming for the back-to-back games.
Cunneyworth is not yet decided on his goaltenders. And he said that it's possible that Chris Campoli will be reinserted into the lineup after having been a healthy scratch the past two games.
Don't be surprised if such a move would put veteran Hal Gill, who played a season-low 8:55 Wednesday night; that might be a little misleading, given the amount of power-play time the Habs "enjoyed," but there's a decent chance Gill will watch from the press box in Pittsburgh.
Live updates were here on Twitter during practice.

Ten Cocktails for You, From Literature
If you've ever hosted or been to a book club meeting, you know that you will discuss the book in question for approximately ten to fifteen minutes before the conversation turns to sex. Why not at least attempt to keep things on a literary bent (and bender) and try something besides chardonnay. Here are ten cocktails that characters were drinking in novels, links to their recipes, and some quotes to make you sound super smart, especially to that one snotty chick nobody likes but always brings good food so we keep our mouths shut.
1. Gin Gimlet – Philip Marlowe, The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler
"You talk too damn much and too damn much of it is about you."
2. Singapore Sling, Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
"We can't stop here, this is bat country!"

How much of an incentive does it provide to you when buying bulk items? I ask this from a business perspective in the sense that the cost is built into the product somehow, or at least some of it, but it also simplifies things in terms of ordering and billing.
Thanks for any input!

Das Zimmerle war sehr sauber und gemütlich :) haben uns wohl gefühlt. Man ist auch ratz fatz mit der Bahn in der Stadt (8-10 min). Unsere Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und entspannt. Köln ist eine Reise Wert ..
Very nice and uncomplicated hostess,
Keys and dispensing well regulated.
Room and bathroom very clean.
Sehr nette und unkomplizierte Gastgeberin,
Schlüsselübergabe und Abgabe gut geregelt.
Zimmer und Bad sehr sauber.
Comfortable room and clean and tidy. House conveniently located to shops, and not too far from tram station. Easy access to Cologne center and the train system meant we were able to visit Aachen and make it back in time to explore the nightlife and got back home okay.
We were very satisfied. Everything we have used, we have found there. Not so much recommended for demanding guests.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Alles was wir gebraucht haben, haben wir dort gefunden. Für nicht so viel anspruchsvolle Gäste empfehlenswert.
It was very pleasant. The location was convenient for me.
Das war sehr angenehm. Der Standort war günstig für mich.
Instead of the "Great apartment" we were dodged with 4 people on the top floor apartment and the double rooms with private bath / shower on each floor. The first impression: everything was very clean and lovely. Our friendly landlady has an eye for detail. The stairs themselves are for the elderly (> 90J!) Suitable when it must also go slow and not too often a day. Only the parking lot is "bring", but the small space at the cemetery is easily accessible on foot, Aus-/Einladen front of the house is no problem.
Anstatt der "Großen Wohnung" waren wir mit 4 Personen auf die Dachgeschoss-Wohnung und das Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad/Dusche auf der Etage ausgewichen.
Der erste Eindruck: alles sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet.
Unsere freundliche Vermieterin hat einen Blick für´s Detail.
Die Treppen sind selbst für ältere Personen (>90J !) geeignet, wenn es auch langsam gehen muss und nicht zu häufig am Tag.
Einzig der Parkplatz ist "mitzubringen", aber der kleine Platz am Friedhof ist zu Fuß gut zu erreichen, Aus-/Einladen vor dem Haus ist ohne Probleme möglich.
Very friendly and helpful host. Good, clean and friendly room. Niehl is a pleasant Stadttteil with very good train links to the city. Overall, highly recommended!
Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Gutes, sauberes und freundliches Zimmer. Niehl ist ein angenehmer Stadttteil mit sehr guter S-Bahn Anbindung zur Innenstadt. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen!

From 1949 to 1957, Dragnet pioneered new levels of realism on radio. Every crime investigated by Sergeant Joe Friday was taken from the actual case files of the Los Angeles Police Department, with only "the names changed to protect the innocent". There were multi-layered sound effects; the actors used accurate police lingo, abbreviations, and penal codes; and the show didn't shy away from stories about heinous crimes or stories that had unhappy endings. Created and produced by Jack Webb, Dragnet was much more than "just the facts".
Fact: you can download more episodes of Dragnet, or pick them up in collected volumes.

"By far the most popular police/crime program of all time. It enjoyed enormous success on radio." (Jon David Swartz and Robert C. Reinehr, Handbook of Old-Time Radio)
I'm a mom. I have drama in my life. I don't want books with the F-bomb, nor graphic violence. I read for fun and to bring my family together. I read for reducing stress levels. We have never had a television in our home and our children are now mid twenties to 19. We listen together and look for belly-wrenching laughter. So what is it like to live without a TV? Awesomely educational and inspirational. Each new book is a marvel.
"Sad but moving"
The story starts out as a pick up request from a different police department. The criminal has moved to LA. A long series of queries lead Friday and Smith on a chase that results in real drama. A very good story.

text: I, too, had heard about using cotton for smoker fuel, but my real interest was in the plant itself. I read that it had nice flowers (start out pink, change to white), and bees would be attracted to it. So, on one of my road trips, I gathered a few cotton boles from Georgia, brought them home, separated the seed from the actual cotton, and then planted the seeds. I grew lovely cotton plants! And they are such a source of education, also. Most people have no idea what a cotton bole even is (how clothe is manufactured, etc.). Anyway, my cotton plants are 100% organic, as is my hive, as is everything grown in my yard - so no worries from me on burning this in my smoker. Results - not impressed! The cotton did not stay lighted sufficiently to conduct a full inspection of my hives. I went back to pine needles - love 'em! But I'll keep growing the cotton, because it's way cool.

You can find everything on line and will never need to buy a pattern. Many places have step by step photo directions, even on how to cut and measure your fabric.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
You can find everything on line and will never need to buy a pattern. Many places have step by step photo directions, even on how to cut and measure your fabric.
Welcome to the Board. I hope you find lots of inspiration here. Be sure to search Youtube videos for tutorials on how to measure, cut, and bind. There are tons of videos and some great videos with patterns, check out videos by Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilting Company (she makes quilting look so easy). I use a 24" x 3.5" ruler and a rotary cutter to cut my fabric. I do have one other 6.5 square that I use a little, but most of my fabric is cut with my long narrow ruler. I hope you enjoy the quilting boartd.
Good for you. Remember practice makes perfect and no one but you will see any mistakes. Keep up the great'
learning experience. don't give up.
Flo in NNY
Welcome to the board! Lots of experience and friendships here! Quilting can be very addictive. LOL There are some rulers that are made by Quilters Rule that can help with straight line cutting. They are a little pricier that the others but I have found them very helpful with rotary cutting. If you can purchase just one, I recommend the longer one. I like Olfa mats best and do not depend on the gridded side. I use the blank side.
Just a tip for cutting and measuring with your ruler...If I want to cut a 2 inch strip, place a piece of tape on the 2 inch line so you don't have to check for it each time. I tend to reverse or misread numbers and this really helps. Also, don't measure or cut when you're tired!!! We all make mistakes then creatively fix them.
Welcome to this great QB. So sorry you have health related problems. Hope you enjoy learning to quilt. Be sure to post your progress. Will look forward to seeing your quilts.
You are going to love your new pasttime just relax and enjoy yourself the others have already given you lots of good advice so just have fun now.
Check with your local quilt shop - they will probably have some wonderful beginner classes to help you get started. Also check with your local quilt guild - they have a wealth of knowledge that most are very willing to share. Enjoy
If you are interested; Craftsy has online sewing classes for quilting. They regularly have some on sale.
They have some very good teachers and do a great job with the camera work also.
Good luck on your quilting!

Rendering by Mark Stehrenberger for PickupTrucks.comBecause GM has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to redesign its full-size pickups, we asked renowned automotive illustrator Mark Stehrenberger to take a stab at what these trucks could look like when they debut around 2013.A few weeks back, we showed you the next-gen GMC Sierra 1500 half-ton. This time, it's the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.A significant influence for the future Silverado is likely to be the 2003 Chevrolet Cheyenne concept pickup. Its breakthrough styling was based on past Chevy trucks that included the 1955 Cameo, 1972 C10 Cheyenne and 1988 C/K Silverado, because each of those trucks shared a "common design vocabulary that was pure in form and purpose," according to GM.We've also heard buzz about a new production vehicle that might shape the Silverado's skin: the Chevrolet Camaro. The Camaro combines retro styling with aggressive modern cues to create a unique shape in that long-running sports car's heritage. It's finding its way into other vehicles, too. The upcoming replacement for the Chevrolet Malibu full-size sedan will show off elements of Camaro in its taillights and C-pillar. So, with both the Cheyenne and Camaro in mind, here's a potential styling direction the Silverado could take that makes it more aggressive than today's truck while carrying forward traditional Chevy truck DNA.We're told by sources that the Silverado will look significantly more different from GMC Sierra than it does today.A sleeker exterior is expected to contribute to improved gas mileage. GM is also studying whether automatically opening and closing the grille inlets of its full-size pickups could improve aerodynamics and mileage.Powertrain improvements are expected to include wide use of direct injection across the Silverado's engine lineup, including, we're told, a (maybe 7.0-liter?) new large-displacement V-8 gas engine. GM's next-generation full-size hybrid technology will also arrive by 2013, with stronger, more efficient electric motors and batteries, giving the gas-electric trucks up to 50 percent better towing capacity.Like their 2011 heavy-duty brothers, the next-generation Silverado and Sierra light-duty pickups will ride on all-new frames. Expect the HD pickups to receive new sheetmetal that's similar to the light-duty pickups.http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/03/future-truck-2013-chevrolet-silverado-1500.html
So this is not what it will look like? At any rate, I like that front end.
GM to the end.
Hmmm kind of has that unibody look but do like the look.
I find this hilarious, this same guy made the 2012 f150 concept that looked exactly like this. i think this guy might have artists block or something and cant come up with new creative ideas. i hope you all know this picture in no way reflects what the 2013 silverado will look like. mabey a few styling q's but thats it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You should be buying a manual, because driving a muscle car without that visceral command you get from using your left foot to connect that massive engine to the wheels is pointless.

That would be pretty slick if it did look like this. But I doubt it will be this "extreme". But automatic grille fins? That sounds like that could work. Not sure how that would effect towing and engine temp. My thing is though it seems like GM says the Sierra will always look different but it never does. I just hope GM can actually make them look different.
=================================No, Brian, it's a foreign car, the "T" is silent. Sweet, I'm getting an Audi!
opening and closing grill inlets?!?!?! D: they can do this on a truk but they can't do hide away headlamps on their low volume halo cars camaro and corvette :facepalm:the sketch looks perty good the grill is a bit much and looks kinda ford escape to me. and the front having no defined flair but the rear having one is cool it kinda gives the impresion that the truck is a stepside but it isn't. one thing though if it didn't have those agressive rear wheel flairs this truck could easily pull off 2 tone paint jobs, i miss those and stepsides.

I love Chevy but purchased a Dodge Ram. Just was a much better deal.If Chevy wants to compete they need to get busy. Here's what I'm looking for in my next truck:- Yeah.. direct injection.. but also- Cylinder deactivation- 8 speed transmission- Hydraulic Recapture and Assist- Fold down flat midgate and back seats- Entire rear window rolls down- Under bed secure/dry storage- Cab roof doubles as a headache rackI think we will see a 30mpg True real world avgMPG full size truck soon and that will motivate a huge trend to trade up. But it will likely be Ford or Dodge who will deliver it.
Not liking the front although I think the production version will look nothing like it. I am expecting it to look better than the current uggo.Overall should be able to match or barely one up the 2011 F-150 powertrain. That is until the next F-150 and hydraulic hybrid makes production.

LED lights around the rim of the headlights as shown would be HOT on a pickup truck. C'mon Chevy be the first to offer it on a pickup (not that big of a feature for a pickup I realize, but it would look sweet).
That is very good looking aside from the short greenhouse. Everything else is butch.

|Another great recipe from Trisha Yearwood, this warm dip is made with artichoke hearts, mayo, feta cheese and Parmesan.
Warm Feta and Artichoke DipThis Warm Feta and Artichoke Dip started with Whoopie Goldberg on The View. If you ever watch the show, or know much about Whoopie, you know that she says she is a bit particular about what she eats. Well, when Trisha Yearwood was on show promoting her cookbook, Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood, she, of course, had some of her featured dishes on the table in front of the couch.
Whoopie picked up this Hot Corn Dip from the table and was raving about it, wanting everybody to try it. I was already considering the purchase but before the segment was over, I had ordered the new cookbook. I am such an easy sell when it comes to new cookbooks.
Anyway, by then I had a taste for a dip - I am also easily influenced by the suggestion of certain foods - and remembered this one from Trisha's previous cookbook, Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen. I pulled it off the shelf and happened to have everything on hand to make this dip, while I waited to pick up what I needed for the Hot Corn Dip and for my new cookbook to arrive.
You've probably tried the old standby Spinach and Artichoke Dip at some point, this is just a bit of a different take on that idea. We ate some of it with white corn tortilla chips, but I also had French bread in the house from the Homemade Roast Beef Po'Boys. I sliced off some of the tip end, buttered and then toasted the slices. Flipped them over, buttered and toasted the other side, and then top them off with some of the hot dip. Yum. Here's how to make it.
For more of my favorite dip recipes, visit my page on Pinterest!
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Adapted from Trisha Yearwood's cookbook Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen
Recipe: Warm Feta and Artichoke Dip©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (2 ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Sliced, toasted French bread, pita chips, Melba toast, corn chips or white corn tortilla chips, for dipping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. In a separate bowl, combine the artichoke hearts, feta, mayonnaise, Parmesan, pimientos and garlic until well blended. Transfer to the pie plate and bake at 350 degrees F, uncovered, for about 25 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.
Serve with pita chips, melba toast, corn chips, or tortilla chips, or spread on sliced, toasted bread.
Serving Suggestion: Martha, one of our Facebook readers suggested this Fried Bowtie Pasta as a dipper and I thought it was an excellent idea! Cook pasta, drain and pat dry, then toss with flour that has been seasoned with Cajun or Creole seasoning and deep fry. Drain and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while still hot. Leftovers can be stored and stay crispy.

Chemotherapy for Cancer of the Esophagus
Chemotherapy (chemo) uses drugs that are given through a vein or by mouth to treat cancer. These drugs enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of the body, making this treatment useful for cancer that has spread. Depending on the type and stage of esophageal cancer, chemo may be given:
- As part of the main treatment, often along with radiation therapy (known as chemoradiation). This is often used for people who can't have surgery due to poor health or for people who don't want surgery.
- Before surgery (and typically along with radiation therapy) to try to shrink the cancer and make it easier to remove. This is called neoadjuvant treatment.
- After the cancer has been removed by surgery (and typically along with radiation therapy) to try to kill any small areas of tumor cells that may have been left behind. This is known as adjuvant treatment.
- Alone or with radiation to help control symptoms like pain or trouble swallowing when the cancer can't be cured. This is called palliative treatment.
Chemo by itself rarely cures esophageal cancer. It is often given together with radiation therapy (called chemoradiation or chemoradiotherapy). Chemoradiation is often used before surgery. This can lower the chance of the cancer coming back and help people live longer than using surgery alone. Chemoradiation is also sometimes given after surgery, but it isn't clear that it is as helpful as giving it before surgery.
Doctors give chemo in cycles, with each period of treatment followed by a rest period to allow the body time to recover. Each chemo cycle typically lasts for a few weeks.
Many different chemo drugs can be used to treat esophageal cancer. Common regimens are:
- Carboplatin and paclitaxel (Taxol®) (which may be combined with radiation)
- Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (often combined with radiation)
- ECF: epirubicin (Ellence®), cisplatin, and 5-FU (especially for gastroesophageal junction tumors)
- DCF: docetaxel (Taxotere®), cisplatin, and 5-FU
- Cisplatin with capecitabine (Xeloda®)
- Oxaliplatin and either 5-FU or capecitabine
Other chemo drugs that have been used to treat cancer of the esophagus include doxorubicin (Adriamycin®), bleomycin, mitomycin, methotrexate, vinorelbine (Navelbine®), topotecan, and irinotecan (Camptosar®).
For some esophagus cancers, chemo may be used along with the targeted drug trastuzumab (Herceptin®). For more information on this drug, see " Targeted therapy for cancer of the esophagus."
Possible side effects of chemotherapy
Chemo drugs attack cells that are dividing quickly, which is why they work against cancer cells. But other cells in the body, such as those in the bone marrow (where new blood cells are made), the lining of the mouth and intestines, and the hair follicles, also divide quickly. These cells are also likely to be affected by chemo, which can lead to side effects. Side effects depend on the specific drugs used, their dose, and the length of treatment. Common side effects of chemo include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Hair loss
- Mouth sores
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Low blood counts
Chemo often affects the blood forming cells of the bone marrow, which can lead to low blood counts, and:
- An increased chance of infection (because of a shortage of white blood cells)
- Problems with bleeding or bruising (due to a shortage of blood platelets)
- Fatigue or shortness of breath (due to low red blood cell counts)
Along with the risks above, some chemo drugs can cause other, less common side effects. For example, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel, and paclitaxel can cause nerve damage (called peripheral neuropathy). This can lead to problems with numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet. Cisplatin can also cause hearing loss and kidney damage. Doxorubicin and epirubicin can cause heart damage if enough of the drug is given.
Most side effects improve once treatment is stopped, but some can last a long time or even be permanent. If your doctor plans treatment with chemo, be sure to discuss the drugs that will be used and the possible side effects. Let your health care team know if you have side effects, so they can be treated. There are ways to prevent and treat many of the side effects of chemo. For example, many drugs can help prevent or treat nausea and vomiting.
People with esophageal cancer have often already lost weight before the cancer was found. Treatments such as chemo, radiation, and chemoradiation can cause painful sores in the mouth and throat. These can make it hard to eat well enough to get good nutrition, making weight loss worse. Some people with esophageal cancer may need to have a feeding tube, usually called a jejunostomy tube (or J-tube), put in place before treatment. This is done through a small hole in the skin over the abdomen during a minor operation. A J-tube lets liquid nutrition be put directly into the small intestine to prevent further weight loss and improve nutrition. This can make treatment easier to tolerate. Feeding tubes can easily be removed when they are no longer needed.

Multiplayer Customization
8 replies 467 views Edited Jun 26, 2013
So, coming from Uncharted 3s perspective and how ND likes to have fun with customizations. I was curious to know why TLoU has only a little customization. Sure U3 required quite a bit of money on most of the skins and taunts but there was still a ton of stuff. Even the default ones were plenty, or am wrong?

I'm hoping ND makes it so I can choose to be a specific sex and race all the time. Aside from my hat, it's disconcerting not knowing who I am right off the bat until actual gameplay begins. Then when gameplay does begin, I have no ties to that character as I don't recognize them as being me lowering the care on if my online character dies.

Re: Multiplayer Customization

'Factions' is a moot reasoning regarding one choosing their sex and race. And just let the game handle the team coloring but let the player actually choose their look (for how FF and Hunters see their character so you'd have 2 looks, 1 for each faction despite having chose one at the start). Shirt, jacket/coat/vest, pants, accessories (ammo belt, extra holster, etc.) shouldn't be really be impacting a fuller customization system =\

I wish there was more customization. Wish we could create our own character. I guess we'll have to wait for "The Division" for that. I wish they'd cater more to RPG fans more than CoD fans.
