Thank you all for your comments.
Surely their is a methods and conceptual issue.
There is also a STATA question, which I was mostly discussing here.
The problem with our scale is that is wasn't meant for smartphone
apps. We actually developed another shorter scale for this purpose
that we tested along side this. The shorter scale had more agreement
between raters and ranked the apps similarly. The reason the first
scale was so poor is that it asked detailed questions that were easy
to miss in looking at a smartphone app. They were also repetitive and
For the STATA question, it appears that we've found the right solution.
Thank you all,

Breast Cancer Continues to Decline »
"For the first time, researchers have used national data to determine the incidence of the four major molecular subtypes of breast cancer by age, race/ethnicity, poverty level, and several other factors. These four subtypes respond differently to "...
(epirubicin hydrochloride) Injection
Severe local tissue necrosis will occur if there is extravasation during administration. ELLENCE must not be given by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Cardiac toxicity, including fatal congestive heart failure (CHF), may occur either during therapy with ELLENCE or months to years after termination of therapy. The probability of developing clinically evident CHF is estimated as approximately 0.9% at a cumulative dose of 550 mg/m², 1.6% at 700 mg/m², and 3.3% at 900 mg/m². In the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer, the maximum cumulative dose used in clinical trials was 720 mg/m². The risk of developing CHF increases rapidly with increasing total cumulative doses of ELLENCE in excess of 900 mg/m²; this cumulative dose should only be exceeded with extreme caution. Active or dormant cardiovascular disease, prior or concomitant radiotherapy to the mediastinal/pericardial area, previous therapy with other anthracyclines or anthracenediones, or concomitant use of other cardiotoxic drugs may increase the risk of cardiac toxicity. Cardiac toxicity with ELLENCE may occur at lower cumulative doses whether or not cardiac risk factors are present [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) has been reported in patients with breast cancer treated with anthracyclines, including epirubicin. The occurrence of refractory secondary leukemia is more common when such drugs are given in combination with DNA-damaging antineoplastic agents, when patients have been heavily pretreated with cytotoxic drugs, or when doses of anthracyclines have been escalated. The cumulative risk of developing treatment-related AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), in 7110 patients with breast cancer who received adjuvant treatment with ELLENCE-containing regimens, was estimated as 0.27% at 3 years, 0.46% at 5 years, and 0.55% at 8 years [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Severe myelosuppression may occur [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
ELLENCE Injection (epirubicin hydrochloride injection) is an anthracycline cytotoxic agent, intended for intravenous administration. ELLENCE is supplied as a sterile, clear, red solution and is available in polypropylene vials containing 50 and 200 mg of epirubicin hydrochloride as a preservative-free, ready-to-use solution. Each milliliter of solution contains 2 mg of epirubicin hydrochloride. Inactive ingredients include sodium chloride, USP, and water for injection, USP. The pH of the solution has been adjusted to 3.0 with hydrochloric acid, NF. Epirubicin hydrochloride is the 4-epimer of doxorubicin and is a semi-synthetic derivative of daunorubicin. The chemical name is (8S-cis)-10[(3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-α-L-arabino-hexopyranosyl)oxy]-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro6,8,11-trihydroxy-8-(hydroxyacetyl)-1-methoxy-5,12naphthacenedione hydrochloride. The active ingredient is a red-orange hygroscopic powder, with the empirical formula C27H29NO11HCl and a molecular weight of 579.95. The structural formula is as follows:
What are the possible side effects of epirubicin (Ellence)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Tell your caregivers at once if you have:
- pain, burning, irritation, or skin changes where the injection was given;
- feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion;
- swelling, rapid weight gain (especially in your face and midsection);
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);

What are the precautions when taking epirubicin hydrochloride (Ellence)?
Before using epirubicin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other anthracyclines (e.g., doxorubicin); or to anthracenediones (e.g., mitoxantrone); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.

The apartment is full of light and air. Completely white, clean and perfectly equipped. The entrance to the building is a little bit worrying but when entering the apartment door, another world is there.
Position: perfect, in the middle of the middle of the city life. All metros converge there and also trams and buses (m3 for airport, m1 for spa, bus 16 for Buda and Mátyás templum, tram 47-48-49 for synagogue, other baths and so on. Thermal centres can be reached with one line caught on the main square, without changes.
A little bit noisy, in the lae evening, cause the pubs and the high number of persons but the windows are perfectly isolating the inside. So, no problem.
Also a little balcony for smokers is available.
Its a lovley spacious apartment in an old building, nice bits of character with all the mod cons including a smoothie machine. It looks out across the street to a pleasant little copse of trees and altho on the first floor, it is elevated so you dont see people walking by. Its a lovely quiet street tho so not a lot of foot traffic anyway. The location is amazing for bars, pubs, cafes, Danube bridges etc. Make sure you walk in every direction as there are little discoveries everywhere. Just be aware if you stay, and i recommend you do, the washing machine seems to be designed by a crazy, bored, or vindictive, European engineer so get a lesson in how to work the dazzling array of often contradictory dials and buttons with the nice owner. Especially if you're from the southern hemisphere where you're probably used to more logical machinery. Perhaps Europeans enjoy the flagellatory experience indisit whiteware offers.
Me and my boyfriend had a great time there! I'll recommend this place to all my friends who wants to visit Budapest. :)
We had a very comfortable time at the apartment, it was clean and the location was perfect! thanks. :)
We stayed 3 nights at Gloria Apartment. It's a fantastic apartment near to one of the main streets in Budapest, and near the Danubios. It's very well situated and you can go walking everywhere. The apartment was very clean and it's very new. It has microwave, refrigerator, oven etc so you can cook and wash your clothes if you want. You have to pay a city tax that is 1euro per person per night that it's not incluided on the price, but you have to pay this wherever you go. We arrived at 14:00pm and we were given the key and they show us how everything works so we didn't have any doubt. A very very good option if you want to visit Budapest
The appartment is well located to explore Budapest and easy to trach from the airport.
The appartment is clean and well maintained. The photos show the real state of the appartment.
The communication with Lazlo and Alice was easy and effective. Both speak fluently englisch.
I reccomand this accomodation and I will rebook this appartment for my next stay in Budapest.
Nice host, kind and helpul.Nice flat and very good located.
Very well located and beautiful I strongly recommend this apartment in Budapest. It's nice, lovely, tidy and clean and Aliz and Katya are excellent host, ready to satisfy your needs. If I've the chance to go again to Budapest I couldn't find a better place to stay
We had a very great time in this flat, it's nice clean and well furnished. It's queit during the night and well located in the city, just few minutes walking from the main subway's station.

A healthy mouth IN 2013
A healthy mouth in 2013
As we enter the new year with so many good intentions, I would like to invite everyone to add another resolution to their list...improved oral health! As a practicing dentist, I see firsthand the effects lack of regular dental care can have on the overall health and well-being of many people. If you want to feel good and stay healthy throughout your life, you might be surprised what a difference a healthy mouth makes.
Whether you are 8 or 80, your oral health is very important. If cared for properly, your teeth can last a lifetime. Losing your teeth is not inevitable, as it was for many in previous generations. However, your mouth changes as you age, so being vigilant throughout your lifetime and having regular dental check-ups to detect early signs of dental disease is critical to maintaining a healthy mouth and body. Some 100 million Americans fail to see a dentist each year and both cavities and gum disease don't cause pain in their initial stages. By the time they do hurt, much damage has already been done.
Today we know that there are associations between oral health and overall health and that physicians are beginning to work more closely with dentists to monitor the health of their patients. Dentists are a critical part of a patient's health care team, in that they are often the first ones to detect changes in a patient's oral condition that can signify overall health problems. I urge you to make a resolution today to adopt healthy oral care habits at home and seek regular dental care. You can help your teeth last a lifetime and have a smile you'll be proud of.

Playing your Guitar at a Campfire
Sing around the campfire. For those of us who have had the pleasure, few memories can match those golden moments spent around a campfire sing-along. Heck - you don't even really have to be able to sing. But the warmth of the fire, surrounded by friends, can make memories that last a lifetime.
PLEASE - take your guitar to a campfire! Okay, right off the bat: the number-one concern about your guitar at a campfire is the heat of the campfire itself. Think back to the last time you were at a campfire: your front and face were warm, yet your backside was not. It's the same concern for a guitar.
If the front of the guitar gets really warm, while the backside (against your body) does not... this will cause stress on the woods and joints inside the guitar! Simple solution? Take a step or two back from the campfire! If you can feel the heat of the campfire but it doesn't feel 'hot' - then you're probably okay.
Another important point is that guitars need to be warmed up gradually. For example, imagine your guitar has been in the trunk of your car on a cold winter's day... maybe 20-degrees F. Then you take your Voyage-Air Guitar out of the trunk, open it up, and start playing it while standing near the campfire. Whoa! The woods of the front of the guitar warm quickly, while the body and the back of the guitar are still ice cold! This can cause the woods of the guitar to crack from the stress! So please, don't do this.
Just be aware that for a quality guitar like the Voyage-Air, that temperature changes should be gradual , not sudden.
Also know that - if you intend to use a guitar where temperature extremes are common - that engineered laminate tonewoods (like in the Voyage-Air Songwriter series) are better than solid woods (like in the Voyage-Air Premiere series). Solid woods are more expensive and sound better in a recording studio, but are more fragile when subjected to temperature extremes.
Quick Reference Points for using your Guitar at a Campfire:
• Temperature changes need to be GRADUAL. Do NOT subject an ice-cold guitar to the warmth of a campfire!
• During the day, keep the guitar in the SHADE, at about the same temperature you are.
• During the day, NEVER leave the guitar case exposed to direct sunlight - it can cook the guitar!
• After the campfire - take the guitar into the camping tent, trailer, motor home, whatever.

i don't blame you jim. do you think that moving them imposes any additional stress to the colonies?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Unless its a 3 day haul and or excess heat or cold is involved or you have massive confusion in a holding yard the act of moving in and of itself is fairly benign. We just moved a load of 800 hives and had them back out on location within 36 hours of loading and the bees are already finding a little fresh pollen on the first day they were set down.
No Sol I know of no one that has tried what I am suggesting only what my recent experience tells me imay be doable. Bear in mind we are replacing ALL our queens on a yearly basis and foregoing any spring mite treatments.
understood jim, thanks.

I do wish you the best in your TF beekeeping ventures, you have found Michael Bush's website so you are on the right track - lots of links to others from there too. (Dee Lusby!!) I have Michael's book. Excellent!!
I made that quote in this thread I started: http://www.beesource.com/forums/show...ite-Treatments
I probably could have worded it better. But, this coming on the heels of you taking over the moderation of this forming and your narrowing the definition of treatment free I wrote it as I did. The thread ended up with some good discussion and some suggestions.
When you opened the discussion on what treatment free means I had brought up the point that not all treatments are chemical, there are cultural practices that are also treatments as was brought out in the above thread.
While I may be taking you comment above out of context, I do not take it as someone who is opened-minded and trying to understand someone elses opinion or viewpoint.
cool thread t, thanks for posting the link. what did you end up doing, and how did that hive turn out?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Tell me exactly how am I supposed to understand someone's viewpoint when what they are asking for is a literal oxymoron? It doesn't even matter what the words are. It's like asking for a glass of dehydrated water. Furthermore, I will admit to this. As it pertains to treatments, I am not open minded. I have one point of view. I live what I believe. I will not be convinced to change that. And I will do what I can to keep the name of what I do from being muddied up and turned meaningless like the word "organic" has been. You can have "organic," I'm keeping "Treatment-free."
was the vote cast by the users of the just the tfb forum, or the users at large of beesource?
if the tfb forum was created as you say, to create a place where like minded folks could discuss what they are doing without interference from others, i guess it makes sense to have a definition and these rules.
maybe you should consider a special password too, given only to those who agree with the definition and promise to abide by the rules.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I pulled 10 med supers total for the year in early june didnt pull any more due to the very dry weather we had all summer left all the rest for the bees did move a few supers from some heavy hives to some of the swarms that did not build up due to the dry weather
"maybe you should consider a special password too, given only to those who agree with the definition and promise to abide by the rules." Squarepeg
A fine suggestion!
Julysun elevation 23 feet. 4 Hives, 2 years.
I watched the video (thank you) and have followed Michael Bush practices beginning a few months after I became a beekeeper.
I still feel a little thrown off at times from local beekeepers with years of experience. This coincidently happened the day before I saw this thread and now had the opportunity to read the whole thread.
I'm at 3 1/2 years with my hives. I was told early this week that the problems with varroa will begin in hive's 4th year. He talked about all the chemicals coming into the hive even without my adding more, and that treating for varroa is the best thing for them.
I am not going to treat, and this thread and video put my mind at ease that I am not abusing my hives by NOT treating. I don't put chemicals in my hives and the only time I feed is in hives that need to build comb. I leave them plenty of stores and keep one hive with back up stores just in case. I only use smoke when absolutely necessary.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Prvb 16:24

bevy, i have read that too, about the fourth year. i'm not sure where that came from, or why that would be the case. good work on keeping your bees healthy!
m bush is one of my all time beekeeping heroes. it was really neat to be able to put a face and a voice with the name and all of the pearls of wisdom.

Thanks Donna. I am looking forward to it and getting M. Bush's book.

So do IFor me I learn by questioning.
Nope, this is a forumone needs to be able to stand up and defend it - prove to me why your way is better.
Nope, that is a personal choicebut if you are writing about it and sharing what you do, then when I ask, you should be able to answer.
You should dig deeper into this though.We have the medicines and treatments, and they work for humans, and livestock, etc. Why not bees?
Not to people that are treatment free. To them it is natural and makes sense. To argue with somebody why they are treatment free is bucking. To ask and learn how they do it is the reason for this forum. If you need proof, you got a lot of work ahead of you.TFB is bucking

Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
It is a forum. I look at it like we are sitting in a room and talking about bees. If you say something and I look at you and ask you a question about what you said, then you ought to answer. I guess you don't have too, but then people will quit speaking to you because you are there to say what YOU want, and not participate in a group conversation.
You agreed that a form of learning is by asking questions. Some questions are asking someone to substantiate what they are saying is fact. Proof. That's all it is. Not trying to put anyone against a wall and say "I got you"; just trying to see how you do it, and is this something I can try. Or maybe I have tried it and can tell you where the pitfalls are so you don't fall into one. Or it might be that it didn't work for me. In the end you can do what you want. I don't call that arguing.
You're right, to be here is a personal choice - free to leave at any time.
I do have a lot of work. Because this is like being pregnant, either you are or your not, there is no grey area. But when I get my bees I will know as much as I can, and go into this with both eyes wide open, knowing who to trust and who just has an agenda.

It is about four hundred years since Christians engaged in slaughter of one another in the name of truth and God. Muslims today apparently have never learned anything from past religious conflict and prefer to kill one another in the name of truth and God and hatred of the evil West. For some reason, it is striking a blow against the West by killing dozens of innocent fellow Muslims. A suicide bomber in Karachi, Pakistan, blew himself up along with at least 30 innocent fellow Muslims and left dozens wounded in the latest example of madness that goes under the guise of believing in God so much that it is permissible to kill the innocent. Crowds went on a rampage after the attack, torching cars and throwing stones at ambulances that had arrived to care for their stricken family members.
It was Ashura, a holy day of prayer for Shiites who constitute about 20% of the Pakistan population, but this was of no difference to a man who undoubtedly believes he is a devout Muslim. Perhaps, it is time for Muslims to go on a rampage against terrorists who kill the innocent and cease blaming the West or others for what is being done by fellow Pakistanis.

The filing deadline for School Board candidates is over a month away, but already the three incumbents whose terms are expiring have said they will run again.
Anne Fee, Philip Kroner and Michael Meier, the current president of the board, plan to run for re-election in April.
The Wauwatosa School Board has seven members who serve three-year terms, and all are elected at-large to numbered seats. They serve without monetary compensation.
Filing to run opens Dec. 1, and the deadline for filing is Jan. 2. So far, no challengers have announced themselves, and, excepting Anne Fee, who ran once and lost before she served on the board, none of the three members seeking re-election have faced opposition in any of their elections.
Anne Fee
Fee, who occupies Seat 3, is ending her second term.
She said she was motivated to serve because of her "concern over the quality of our public schools - not that the Wauwatosa schools were bad, but that I wanted to continue to maintain the high quality of the schools that we have in our community."
The impact and aftermath of the state's Act 10, which took effect in 2011 and restricted union bargaining power, has presented challenges for all public school districts, but Fee said Wauwatosa has handled it well.
"I am … proud of how our district has weathered the upheaval of the past year or so, with Act 10, I think that that's a credit to the professionalism both of the teachers and our administration, and I like to think that the School (Board) played a part in creating an atmosphere where everyone can work together even in these difficult times."
Legal questions still surround Act 10, she noted.
"I think that's it important to continue working together - administration, board and teachers - to make sure that whatever happens … doesn't negatively affect the students."
Fee said she looks forward to the presentation of a scheduling proposal under formulation that may offer students more flexibility. As currently discussed, it would replace the seven-period day in the high schools with eight periods, and offer the same schedule at the middle schools. It has yet to come to the board.
The plan "would make it easier for (students) to achieve the classes that they want to complete in their high school years," she said. "I think that could help them achieve a better education."
Fee, who served two years as president of the board, is an attorney who for nearly a decade was a prosecutor in Racine County. She is currently a stay-at-home mom, she said.
Fee has three children in the school district, in sixth, eighth and 10th grades.
Philip Kroner
Phil Kroner, like Fee, is ending his second term. He occupies Seat 1.
He said he was motivated to run "just to try to increase the quality of the schools - to be a voice of a parent and a citizen."
Prior to serving on the board, Kroner said, about eight years ago, he was part of committees that put together a long-range plan for the district. As a member of the curriculum committees, "I got interested in those issues, and I guess at that point I decided to run because I wanted to make sure that the work we did on the long-range plan would be followed through on."
Curriculum continues to be an interest.
"We do a regular curriculum review now of all the different curriculums that we have, and we have brought in outside experts to help with that - and that wasn't really done before," he said.
In addition, a renewed focus on reading and improvements to the reading program are strong points in the district, he said.
Kroner is a proponent of data-driven decision making, which the district is pursuing.
"Like, just recently they issued more rigorous cutoffs for what determines whether a student is proficient or advanced or basic. They raised the bar on those, and so analyzing the data to see where we need to improve programs to meet those new, more rigorous standards," he said.
He favors a rigorous approach to meeting state standards, which are getting tougher, and strengthening programs to help struggling students.
Like Fee, he believes the district handled well the challenges presented by Act 10.
"When ACT 10 came through, the teachers were quite upset, and there were quite a few demonstrations, and our teachers stayed in their classrooms and stayed in our district, and I think we've worked hard, done a really good job of maintaining a really strong relationship with the teachers during this time," he said.
Kroner, trained as a research scientist, teaches at Milwaukee Area Technical College. He has two sons - one a freshman in college and the other a sophomore at Wauwatosa East High School.
Michael Meier
Michael Meier is ending his third term on the board, and is in his first year as president of the board. The president is chosen by the membership, and serves for a year. By practice, the president doesn't serve for longer than two years consecutively, Meier said.
Meier, who holds Seat 2, said he is motivated to serve by "a desire to give something back to the community. My children received an outstanding education in Wauwatosa schools."
He has two adult children who are graduates of the district.
Meier said he is excited about changing the secondary school schedules.
"That will open up tremendous opportunities for the students to get more of their class choices."
He also is looking ahead to considering a new "compensation paradigm" for teachers in the wake of Act 10. School districts and municipalities across the state are faced with the fresh challenge of how to structure pay for public employees - formerly a negotiated item. A School Board committee is meeting regularly to discuss possibilities.
A revamping of the district's science curriculum also is on his mind.
Meier said that in his nine years on the board, the hiring of Superintendent Phil Ertl in 2005 is one of the highlights. Another is reversing a decision, in 2005, by a previous board that would have closed Wilson School.
He said the closing of Wilson might have meant the eventual closure of a middle school as well. Wilson is an elementary school and is home to the STEM program.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The ice storm is finally over, and as Wilmington and surrounding areas thaw out, so do the wild animals.
Snapped branches, fallen tree limbs and leaves are more than just debris. They are homes to many.
The winter storm has caused all sorts of problems for people in the Port City, but for animals who live outside, the freezing temperatures and blankets of ice have left many injured and homeless.
Jennifer Leonard of Coastal Carolina Wildlife Rehab has made it her mission to rescue wildlife. She says after a storm of this magnitude, you may find injured or orphaned animals while cleaning up debris.
"Like this guy was hit by a car yesterday afternoon at the Harris Teeter parking lot, and a college student found him and brought him in, because she didn't want to leave him there," Leonard said of a sea gull she's helping.
Leonard says if you do come across an injured animal to put it in a warm quiet place and do not feed it. She says to bring the animal to them, and they will do their best to get it back where it belongs in the wild.

My boss is such a moron. I'm surprised at times she's run a successful restaurant for so many years, lol. The lady cannot write a good description for food ever! Not even when I do it for her. The other day one of the sales reps gave us a little sample jar of truffle salt. So, today for one of the breakfast specials I put on a truffled steak frittata. I even wrote and dictated my description to her; Truffled Steak Frittata: Sliced sirloin dusted with truffle salt, caramelized onions, and potatoes. Topped with shaved Parmesan cheese. Sounds delicious, right? Here's how it turned up on the special menus; Frittata with steak strips, onion, truffle salt, potatoes, and parmesan cheese. I mean, that was the name of the special and the description. Grrr. Sometimes I wonder why I bother. For chrissakes, she has the word "yummy" on the menu! What the **** is that about?
Well, assuming by the flexibility in specials, small business owner.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
By Kathleen Ceresoli
Health Educator, Student Health Services
(Oct. 6, 2006)--UTSA Student Health Services has big plans for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout October, campus outreach tables (Tell-a-Friend) will have information on breast and testicular cancer, as well as pink ribbons, brochures, self-exam shower cards, and breast and testicular models.
Tell-A-Friend is a nationwide initiative to remind women about the importance of mammograms in detecting breast cancer and that early detection is the best protection. You are encouraged to contact 10 female friends or relatives to remind them to get a mammogram.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Tell-a-Friend information tables this month at the 1604 Campus:
- 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Monday, Oct. 16; 11 a.m.-2 p.m., University Center second floor (sponsored by Premed Society)
- 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 23, Sombrilla Plaza (sponsored by Student Health Advisory Committee)
You can honor a breast cancer survivor or memorialize a loved one. Pink ribbons will be available at the outreach tables, the UTSA bookstore or by e-mailing Barbara Reyes. Specify "in memory of" or "in honor of" and include the first and last name of the recipient. Personal messages can be added. All ribbons will be placed on the bookstore windows at the 1604 and Downtown campuses.
Additionally, Student Health Services will sponsor training for breast cancer awareness presenters. The free training conducted by the American Cancer Society is noon-1 p.m., Oct. 11in Durango Building Room 3.206, Downtown Campus. To reserve a space, call (210) 458-6428.
To arrange a presentation on breast cancer prevention and detection, contact Kathleen Ceresoli, Student Health Services, at (210) 458-6428 or complete the presentation request form on the Student Health Services Web site.
For more information, contact Kathleen Ceresoli or Barbara Reyes at (210) 458-4142.
Breast cancer statistics
- Approximately 211,240 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. More than 40,000 women will die from the disease this year.
- The 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is 97 percent if cancer has not spread beyond breast, 77 percent if it has spread to nearby organs and 21 percent if it has spread throughout the body.
- Mortality can be reduced 30-40 percent among women age 50 and over by the use of mammography and clinical exams.
- Currently, more than 2 million women are living with breast cancer in the United States.
- As screening programs have become more common, more cases of breast cancer are being detected in the earlier stages of disease, when they are more easily and successfully treated.

Where can I find Singer repair manuals? Not the owners manuals, but the shop manuals to actually fix and adjust the innards of these things?
I've tried a bunch of places but all I find is parts books and owners manuals.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Where can I find Singer repair manuals? Not the owners manuals, but the shop manuals to actually fix and adjust the innards of these things?
I've tried a bunch of places but all I find is parts books and owners manuals.
The following lists are incomplete and poorly organized, but there are some Adjuster's Manuals scattered throughout. (The problem is you have to download them first to see what they are....)
Hi Joe,
Some are listed here. I've also emailed them and gotten additional not listed (301).
Those were two I've been searching for. The links are in my other hard drive that failed.
Haven't communicated with Ed in a while. I guess I should read his blog more often.
Thanks for the links.
I've been to those places recommended above as well as doing a Google search and so far no luck. I'm specifically looking for a 413 and a 538 service / repair / adjusting manual.
Any body know of any for these two?
Hi Joe, I realize this won't help you with your current problem, but I'll throw this out there since it seems you repair, or are starting to repair, a pretty wide variety of machines. You may want to look into taking Ray White's sewing machine repair class if one is offered near you:
I've sung the class' praises on other forums as well. As you get into more and different kinds of machines, you'll find it's impossible to find Adjuster's Manuals for all of them, or even worse, sometimes you go to the trouble of tracking down the manual--and the part you need to fix isn't even mentioned! That's when I've found Ray's training handy, as he teaches you to "learn" a machine by looking at the parts. It helped me fix some problems on a Singer 111w155 industrial that I couldn't find any assistance for.
As for a more short-term solution, one idea might be to do a little research and find out if there are other models that are similar to the 413 and 538, in the way that the 403 and 500a have a few things in common. Then, if you can acquire an Adjuster's Manual for the similar model, there might be enough overlap in it to help you.
The other short-term solution is to jump on the Vintage Singers Yahoo Group and do a search of the archives to see if anyone's had, and fixed, the specific problems you're having. Failing that you can post a query in hopes that someone's got the fix.
I've found several manuals and adjusters manuals at Scribd. You can't download without a subscription or uploading your own content, but you can view them online for free.
I have a screw driver and YouTube--I can fix it!
I'd love to take Ray's course, but finances prohibit that for the forseeable future. I'll just tinker along till I find what I want.
Will check it out.
Thank you everyone for the info, Just a newbe trying to get started.

As in most things in life...... you get what you pay for. Be carefull of really cheap stuff on EBay. If you already KNOW a lot about what yopu are potentially buying... then you can find bargains sometimes. But if you don't have a background in the item.... then you are at the mercy of the seller.

They are really well built-been using them for over 20 years
e-bay had them used for very good prices.
Posted 24 October 2012 - 11:07 PM
I don't know how they compare to the ones the ceramic suppliers are selling, but I do have one that my husband bought for me off ebay. Good thing, too. The firing right after I got it I had a kiln element burn out and I couldn't figure out why the kiln was running so long (old style with switches). With the pyrometer I knew it wasn't getting to temp, so when I shut it down I knew what to look for right away. On the ebay ones, the trick is that if you fire higher than bisque temps, you need to switch over to celcius readings to get the temperature. The display will only go up to 1999, so celcius will tell you what you need to know in order to use one of those pyrometers. So except for having to use a chart to do the temp conversion, they work pretty well. I have only used it for 5 or 6 firings, though. Best of luck!
Anyone use the digital pyrometers sold on eBay they're 49.99 +shipping, ceramic suppliers are charging around 150.00 are the ones on eBay garbage or are the ceramic suppliers really marking up?

Only the low end brands top out at 1,999 degrees and then you switch to Celsius-
I suggest not buying one of those unless you are only ever going to do o6 wares.

But pyrometers CAN be useful for a lot of other stuff besides just "is it going up", "is it stalling", or "is it going down". When you get really serious about improving your firing control, there are lots of things to potentially consider that are more specifically temperture dependent.... like when certain events happen (boiling point of water, combustion of organics, alpha-beta quartz inversion, cristabolite inversions, evolution of gases from certain compounds, percipitation of certain crystal structures in a glaze melt, and so on). If you need/want to control that kind of stuff.... a cheap pyrometer is not necessarily going to be up to the task.
The reason to spend more on a metering unit is for factors like accuracy of resolution (the Omega one I use on the noborigama will resolve to 0.1 degree C), durabilty /quality of construction, and available features. Which termocouple to select is based on maximum use temperature, atmosphere it will be subjet to, and durability. (And of course the meter and the thermocouple must be compatible also.)
In fact if you are firing to cone 9-10 (or more) ASTM does not recomment Type K thermocouples for probes (what most handcraft potters choose) ... they go totally non-linear in those kinds of temperatures. Accuracy goes out the window as you near the top end.
And remember that the reading is only the reading where the PROBE is. It says nothing about the temperature any given distance from that location. You have to know the heat distribution to make conclusions about otehr locations in the kiln.

(In fact if you are firing to cone 9-10 (or more) ASTM does not recomment Type K thermocouples for probes (what most handcraft potters choose) ... they go totally non-linear in those kinds of temperatures. Accuracy goes out the window as you near the top end.)
Thats one of the reasons I use a few oxyprobes in a few kilns with a platinum thermocouples -
costs way more than a type k thermocouple but does many functions that they cannot.
These excel at cone 9 and above -they help with reading reduction atmospheres.

Strung bubbles of glass drop gracefully from the rounded canopy of this halogen ceiling light.More Details >
Clear glass bubbles rain down from a chrome ceiling fixture for a captivating optical effect. Neatly structured strands support the clear glass while six lights shine down on the display from above. From the Possini Euro Design Lighting Collection.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
This is absolutely beautiful. Everything I had hoped.
I put it in our playroom and it gives good lighting, it also adds style to the room. My kids love it.
This chandelier is great because it is gorgeous, easy to install, and you can customize the length of each bubble
Love it
We installed this light in our dining room today. I love the look of it, even when it's turned off - light, airy, and modern. When on, it does have a strange purple glow at the top of the fixture (visible through the metal mesh between the fixture and the ceiling - another reviewer mentioned this), but I'll learn to ignore it. The diagrams provided for installation were not very helpful, but my husband is handy and we figured it out. You do use four anchors to screw the crossbars of the fixture to the ceiling (in addition to the screws that attach it to the junction box), but they pulled out of the ceiling during installation and we had to take the whole thing down, remove the anchors, install better anchors (that we had), and re-install the whole thing, which was challenging because we had already attached all of the bubble strings and removed the protective film that said which string went where, so we did not remove them. I recommend that you use some good, expanding anchors of your own the first time around. (When the anchors pulled out of the ceiling a bit, you couldn't get the fixture to be flush against the ceiling, and the gap and escaping purplish light did not look good.) Now that the light is securely installed, it looks great. Compared to our old drum shade, this light opens up the space, doesn't block the mirror, and makes the room seem taller because it draws your eye upward.
The bubbles illuminate with kind of a rainbow affect. I highy recommend a dimmer switch because it's nice to be able to control how bright the light is, especially over the dining table. I am so happy with this purchase. I looked and looked and found ones that were much more expensive, but exactly the same.
Beautiful chandelier.
Hanging over the staircase to the lower level. It's beautiful! Everyone seems to love it also. I would have given it five stars, but I have to admit that there is one thing that bothers me, although others seem not to notice. The back illumination in the mounted portion of the fixture has a strange glow. The upside is that the fixture is so beautiful, no one else notices... I guess it is true, we are our own worst critic. Knowing what I paid for the fixture, no problem having that bother me. Great value., honestly, I had been looking for just the right thing to put over the staircase, and anything I looked at was $1500. or more. This is better than what I found anywhere. Definitely a great purchase, just beware of the glow and get over it!

The female equivalent to "sloppy seconds", floppy seconds occurs when a woman receives an inadequate dose of dongage due to the fact that the male in question has recently enacted in coitus with another woman, thus rendering his manhood "floppy".
"Well, I already banged your sister, but if you don't mind floppy seconds..."
"Man, that Kate Hudson chick sure does like floppy seconds!"
"Man, that Kate Hudson chick sure does like floppy seconds!"

Simular to the term sloppy seconds, however referring to the male who has recently had sex with a women, and promptly after attempting to have sex with another women however he is unable to immediately generate an erection.
Dude last light I took these two girls home, could only handle one at a time so had to give one of them floppy seconds

Anti-Aging & Kombucha
Not the first, but certainly most recent: the New York Times' T-magazine posted a new lifestyle article on the growing Kombucha trend.
What is Kombucha? Well, it is a strange fermented, effervescent tea concoction made through a process of 1) adding bacteria and sugar to black or green tea and 2) letting the mix ferment for several weeks.
Once before, in the mid 1990's, Kombucha gathered a following heavy with do-it-yourself types who made the tea themselves. (Not the safest thing, since there is always a risk of potential contamination if not done under sterile […]

To be able to buy the firearms I want and not wonder if, or more likely when, they will be declared illegal and attempts to conficate them will begin!
I decided to tell you what my dream survival gun battery would consist of. Now, I want to start by stating that I DO NOT HAVE many of these items. I dont even have a few of them. But, I can dream, cant I?
My first choice would be two M1A/M14 assault rifles in .308/7.6251 NATO caliber. I would prefer that these be stainless steel. Along with these two rifles, I would like to have 10,000 rounds of ammo.
I would also desire two M4s or AR15s in .223/5.56. Again stainless, along with 10,000 rounds of ammo.
I want 2 Ruger 10/22s in stainless steel. Inasmuch as I want handguns in this caliber, I would want at least 50,000 rounds of ammo.
Two good pump shotguns--Mossberg or Remington, preferably. I could also go with some other makes as long as they are quality. I would want 5,000 rounds of bird shot in varying sizes and 500 rounds of buck shot in different sizes.
I really desire two SIG handguns in .45 ACP caliber. And, 2 SIG handguns in 9MM Luger. These would be my tactical choices. I would desire 5,000 rounds of each caliber.
For working handguns I would like 2 Ruger .44 magnum and 2 .357/.38 Special revolvers. 2,000 rounds of ammo for each caliber.
I would like two or more each of .22 revolvers and semi auto hand guns.
For all of these weapons I would want a complete set of spare parts. If tshtf, you wont be able to run to the store to get extras for anything you own. It is also desirable to obtain as many extra high capacity magazines as you can afford. Also, accessories such as holsters, carrying cases, slings, cleaning equipment and tools for repair work.
The reason I want 2 of each is due to the old saying that one is none and two is one. If I could afford to buy all of this equipment, I would bury that biggest part of it in caches scattered around over an area of public land separated by several miles each. Someone might find one but, they might miss the others. And, even if it took all day to walk from one to another, at least you could find some of them still intact.
Again, this is my wish list, but, if wishes were fishes.....
What is yours?
To be able to buy the firearms I want and not wonder if, or more likely when, they will be declared illegal and attempts to conficate them will begin!
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
As I said: I'm dreaming! But, maybe if I ever win the lottery.
Two of each,I like that.
One for caching, one for shooting. I wouldn't be able to cache both. I like shooting them too much.
Add a couple of 1911s.
Yes, I didn't think of the 1911s. You can't go wrong with those.
Last edited by dario541; 03-22-2013 at 03:58 PM.
if you just got to have a sig they do make a pretty good 1911!
course they had to furbar it sigs way and put on an external extractor--but i could live with it anyway-i might have to put in one of S&W el-cheapo hammers though. -LOL
if i was getting pistols i would stick to 1911s and CZ & clones maybe a few plastics like glocks cause that plastic has 'special properties"--or so im told! LOL!
Whatever you get, don't forget spare parts! Anything that is man made is subject to breakage. And, there may come a day when we cannot order parts. Let's get them now.

Hi there,I currently drive a 2004 cooper s, and am considering to sell it and get the new Fiat 500 w/ sport package. Your opinions on if I should go for it or hold on to my current mini??
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/11q2/2012_fiat_500_sport_vs._2011_mini_cooper-comparison_testsI think 500 is too slow for general American drivers.
I would buy the 500 Sport over a Mini Cooper due to its price advantage amongst other things, but if you already own a 2004 Cooper S and are happy with it, then I'd just stick with what you have.
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
I like the 500 just because its more Stylish than the Mini Copper, Ill get the 500 Cabriote though.
TypeSH:I would buy the 500 Sport over a Mini Cooper due to its price advantage amongst other things, but if you already own a 2004 Cooper S and are happy with it, then I'd just stick with what you have.+1 why would you want car payments
I don't see what you would gain from the switch.
------------------------------------------------------------"It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin"When I give food to the poor, they call me a Saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." - Helder CamaraCorey Booker & Alan Grayson ftw!
I would keep your Cooper S. If you really want to make the trade wait one more year for the 500 Abarth. That would be more comparable as the current 500 targers more the base Mini.
i would keep it! it is more to fun to drive than the fiat?. and mini look still look great. man i wanna buy a used mini. i love them
Thanks for everyones comments! I test drove the 500 today and really enjoyed it. I think it was more emotion than thought to consider the switch, however. I'm happy with my MCS :-)
NinetyNine:http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/11q2/2012_fiat_500_sport_vs._2011_mini_cooper-comparison_testsI think 500 is too slow for general American drivers.Car and Driver seemed to like the Mini. The Mini is a better driver. Personally, I would take the Mazda 2 or Ford Fiesta.
There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today, and something wrong with our bloody system as well.
Probably best to keep the MINI. If its been reliable and just keeps going, I don't see the point in getting a car that will cost you more going forward and be smaller.Yea fun to drive and new and flash, but do you really gain anything?
I drove a 500 Sport 5MT and really liked it. But I need to drive a Mini Cooper again to decide for myself.
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
Fiat 500's are pretty cool. Nice interiors too. You're not gonna lose or gain anything with it, depends on what you like.I'd wait for the Abarth version though, those are gonna be nice.
______________________________Acura's motor got upstaged by Ford.And now that Buick is owned by Ford, I think it's safe to say that the Buick has a better motor than the TL?
top gear despised the little 500 no? slow, wobbly, small... ?
But they loved the Abarth Essesse (which I believe is just going to be the regular Abarth when it comes here, no 130(?)hp model, only the 160ish)I'd wait for the Abarth as well. I love the styling, and flair of it, I just don't know if I could be satisfied with a near 10-second 0-60.
--------------------------Me: It comes with a V8, too. 5 Liter!Mom: Wow, what a value, they give you 5 liters of vegetable juice?*sigh*

Play-by-Playmate: Jaime's Favorite Moments of MLB Season
The streaker, DJ Kitty, Jeter's 3000th hit...here are Jaime's favorite moments from the MLB season so far.
So we're at the halfway point of the Major League Baseball season. It's time to reflect on some of my favorite moments. Let's cut to the chase.
Moments I Wish I Saw In Person: The Streaker: Yankees vs. Mariners, May 28
I would have loved to see this in person. All he has on is a cap. He came out near the dugout so I would have liked to see the players' faces. He was butt-ass naked, flaccid penis and all. He just came out of nowhere. So he got onto the field and, of course, was tackled and taken away. Then I would have liked to have the vantage point where I could see him being escorted toward the exit. Security put a towel on him and as he was close to getting off the field the towel actually fell off! So at that point I would have loved to be one of the fans in those seats. And I am very judgmental so I definitely would have judged whether he should have had the nerve or not to be running around with his penis out. You have to be pretty confident to do that in front of 30,000 people. Good thing he kept his big head warm.
David Price's Home Run Celebration
I would've loved to have been at this batting practice. Some sites called this one of the best home run celebration trots in history. If I was there, I would have challenged David Price to a home run trot. I would one-up him at each base. First we would have to pretend that I made contact with the ball and it was a home run. I would have flipped the bat, then ran by my teammates and yelled, "what" as I was heading toward first base. Then I'd do a one-handed cartwheel into first. Then I would have literally stolen second base, just picked it up and taken it with me. Then heading into third, I would have done a head-first slide because it seems harder to me than feet first. So I would have raised the difficulty level. And then as he's running to home, I would do his forward roll but instead of a high-five I would have chest-bumped my teammates. I really want to go to a Rays' game, see David and tell him I want to re-enact this home run trot.
Attend the Real Home Run Derby
Since I've been running this home run derby challenge each week I think it would have been great to go to the actual Derby and see Jose Bautista because he's been unbelievable for me the last three weeks I've had him on my team. Since this year's Derby doesn't happen until tonight, this clip is from last year's.
My Favorite In-Person Moments
First off, you should know that I've been to six different ball parks this season: Dodgers Stadium, Ballpark in Arlington, Tropicana Field, Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Yankee Stadium and Riverwalk Stadium, home to the Montgomery (Ala.) Biscuits, the AA affiliate of the Rays. So all my favorite things have come from one of these parks.
Favorite Mascot: DJ Kitty of the Tampa Bay Rays
Now, this isn't the official mascot of the Rays, but they show videos of this cat on the big screen during games. It's a new marketing gig for the Rays and it's so asinine that I can't stop laughing. He does the "Jump" song and apparently he did a Gucci Mane song, too. I love animals, especially animals doing silly stuff. It's just stupid.
Favorite Concession: Riverwalk Stadium Biscuits
At the Montgomery Biscuits stadium, they sell piping hot homemade biscuits. They're huge, warm and fluffy homemade biscuits. Remember, I'm a southern girl, so I love my southern cooking. I would be so fat if I lived in the South. I can't even think about it. I want to go back just for the biscuits.
Favorite Seats: Dugout Club Seats
The seats are directly behind home plate at Dodger Stadium. It was the whole package. That game, they happened to be playing the Marlins, so people from home were texting and Tweeting me because they saw me on TV. Those seats include unlimited trips to a salad bar, carving station, pasta station, popcorn - everything was all inclusive. And as many Dodger Dogs as I could fit in my stomach.
Favorite On-Field Moment: Derek Jeter's 3000th Hit
Lucky me, I was actually at the game he got his 3,000th career hit. I went to Thursday's game, had tickets to Friday's game (rain out) and went back to Yankee Stadium for Saturday's game against the Rays. It's funny because I'm not even a Yankees fan or a Jeter fan. But obviously I can appreciate history. The energy in the stadium was frenzied.
Favorite Drink:The Cowboy Boot Cup at the Ballpark in Arlington
It wasn't so much about what was in the cup, it was the fact that I drank out of that obnoxious cowboy boot. As soon as I saw someone else with it, I looked at my friend Lauren Anderson and said I had to have one of those. I know everything's bigger in Texas, so of course they have giant plastic cowboy boots you can drink out of. I was willing to pay $10.
Home Run Derby: On Hiatus
With a short week of baseball ahead because of the All-Star break, there will be no Home Run Derby this week. If you were following last week's competition then you saw that my three sluggers opened up a can on sports broadcaster Molly Sullivan's team! Whenever we get together at the Playboy Club in Vegas, Molly's home base, @mollyesullivan, she'll have to wear a sports jersey of my choice. Next week's challenger might be my toughest one yet.

PlayBook: Tides Up
Welcome to Hoops Country, Population: You.
Tides up and turning; we're settling in for the calm before the storm. The dark days of February are behind us with the madness still to come. Soon we will be all-consumed. We will be the all wanton caricatures of vice; of the gambling, the greed and the glory that have long been associated with the month of March.
This has never been a good time for Caesars or soft seeded programs like Florida and San Diego State. They'll be trounced, gutted by Longhorns and wild dogs from Mississippi. They won't last long in a tournament built for men when they play like boys and the distinction looms large when the games are broadcast on National TV. Errors, even frivolous ones are watched by more eyes in those three weeks than they are all season and every single one is amplified about a thousand times when a berth to the sixteen or the eight is on the line. No, March has never been a wise time to lose your head, to inbound pass to the other team.
Other losers on the month will be Newt Gingrich and Creighton if they get seeded with Cincy. Newt because he's an ugly person who speaks in tongues and Creighton because Cincinnati is a full-blown, full-court menace built to run teams ragged for the full 40 minutes. They will be no fun for anybody, especially Creighton, and will likely wander through to the eight if Notre Dame has anything to say about North Carolina.
We're speaking in extremes of course, likelihoods based entirely on brackets and breaks. We won't know anything for sure for at least another week but wild and free speculation has never been known to hurt anyone so why stop now? So what, right?
Marquette will win and so will Murray State. And Louisville, Las Vegas and Long Island so long as they aren't strung to a sixteen seed and playing Syracuse.
Washington, Wisconsin and Wichita State? All Winners. And the Wildcats too. This is the upper crust here people, the cream of the crop. Who's a Hoosier when they Huskies come to town?
Nobody. That's who. There will be no room at the table for losers or Hoosiers when March rolls around. None. This is Hoops country; we don't even leave scraps for the losers. This is not a game of leftovers.
One and done and that's how we like it. Twelve or fourteen straight hours of hard court living and maybe six or ten games at a time. Never a dull moment. Total non-stop action. Only fast living for the freaks. We've got the bucket disease and a cure is out of the question. We're basketball people and this is the way we like it.

He was one of the few guys to make it out of a bomb on the Tahiti's infamous Code Red day. He was there when everyone started paddling Jaws. He scored all-time Fiji with his friend/mentor/cover-star Dave Wassell during the Volcom comp. He's got starring roles beside Kelly Slater in this year's two Taylor Steele films (Here & Now and This Time Tomorrow). And just last week he blew off his US Open poster signing to score this bombing Puerto swell. Remember when Alex Gray was, like, this cute, comedy kid doing the WQS? Me neither. —Nathan Myers
SURFING: I forget when you became so gnarly. Remind me.
ALEX GRAY: I don't think of myself as a big wave guy. I just like to surf every day, whatever the size. I pack a 9'6" and a 5'6". And there's always days around the swell that are small and still super fun. I just can't stand to watch a swell go by.
Just answer the question.
I got pretty sick one year after Hawaii. Bunch of infected water in the lining of my lungs. I was hospitalized for a while, literally almost died. When I finally came back to do the tour the next year, the ASP had stripped me of all points because I hadn't paid my dues on time. Before that, competing on the WQS was my whole life. But I went from 46th place to 1,011th overnight. My sponsors said I should take some time off. I feel like a totally different person these days.
How do you forecast swells?
I like BuoyWeather. Also Surfline, Magic Seaweed and Wind Guru. I guess the trick is checking them all then taking the average. But on BuoyWeather you can put in all your notes and start to accumulate your own well of knowledge. That's why guys like Snips and the Longs would never share their passwords. They got some much information in their accounts it's gnarly.
Paddle or tow?
I think everyone's all about paddle these days. Not even a question. That's where it's at. You only tow if it's the only option, and then it's really fun.
What's your favorite big wave spot?
For all around waves of consequence, you can't beat Hawaii. It's like a second home to me there. I never miss a season.
Do you get scared out there?
Totally. If you're not scared, you're not all there. Fear is healthy. It's what you do with it that counts.

I think this falls under more of a "Post Your" thread but it fits more here. Ever make any witty programming jokes in real life that no one got? I have. I'm curious to hear others'.
Once my friend was working on something and he said "I can't operate under these conditions." So I said, "You must not be a... CONDITIONAL OPERATOR." I laughed slightly and then went home and cried myself to sleep.
