Great card. Can run everything I need it to run on my budget gaming rig.
Gonna be testing out Battlefield 4 in a week, but Battlefield 3 and all other modern games run beautifully so far.
Who needs a $2,000 Titan when this works just fine (unless you do 3-D modelling, in which case you'll wanna look upwards of $200 at least).
The back plate where the ports are were a little on the short side for my Rosewill Challenger case, and the card was lopsided in its slot on the mobo. A pair of pliers and some careful metal-bending later, and it's correctly seated and 100% straight from both the inside and the back. Not going to take off an egg though, because it's probably a niche problem or I simply screw-ed my Mobo in a bit too far to the right.
Other Thoughts:
Used this card in my first build. A budget gaming rig that ran me about the soft side of $600. It's working flawlessly with all my games on Steam/Origin so far and I'm quite happy.

BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) has successfully closed the deal it signed with Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) this January for the acquisition of 58 Switzerland based exchange traded funds (ETFs) – reinforcing its position as the market leader in Europe's ETF industry. [1] The world's largest asset manager agreed to take the funds managing $17.6 billion worth of assets off the Swiss bank's hands in a bid to expand its footprint in Switzerland, but the deal ran into delays with both the Irish Competition Authority and U.K.'s Office of Fair Trading who, conducted individual investigations into the impact of the acquisition on the region's ETF markets. [2]
The finalization of the deal, which saw BlackRock re-brand the acquired ETFs under its flagship iShares banner, makes the asset management giant the biggest ETF provider in Switzerland with CHF 7.7 billion ($8.1 billion) in assets under management. At the same time, it brings Credit Suisse one step closer to its goal of streamlining its diversified business operations amid strict Swiss regulatory requirements.

BlackRock is the undisputed leader in the global asset management industry with a little less than $4 trillion in assets under management at the end of Q1 2013. There is no denying the fact that over recent years, a majority of the company's growth has come from the popularity of its iShares ETF offerings across the globe. BlackRock manages nearly $800 billion in retail and institutional investors' assets under iShares and continues to maintain its focus in the industry, as it believes that there is still a lot of growth potential in ETFs worldwide.
As a major financial hub, Switzerland figured high on BlackRock's priority list, with the company expressing its intent to acquire Credit Suisse's ETF business "at any cost" when the unit went on the block earlier this year. ((BlackRock buy bodes ill for others, Financial Times, Jan 13 2013)) Moreover, Credit Suisse boasted of the fourth biggest ETF unit in Europe, and the acquisition would also mean a huge impetus to BlackRock's presence on the other side of the Atlantic. In fact, it is the large size of the unit involved that drew attention from regulatory watchdogs in Ireland and U.K. who wanted to ensure that the deal did not hinder the region's competitive environment.
The deal brings in almost $18 billion in assets to BlackRock's portfolio, spread across equities, fixed-income and gold funds. An idea of how the acquisition will impact the company's value can be obtained by making changes to the chart below, which represents the size of assets under BlackRock's equity iShares offerings.

Redmond celebrates Earth Day
Event combines fun with learning
BEND, Ore. - The city of Redmond celebrated its ninth annual Earth Day Festival Saturday.
The event combined fun with learning. Kids young and old were playing chicken bingo at one booth and were learning about water preservation and the environment at the next.
"The money that this event raises goes to help Trails and Parks Foundations and the city overall," said Annie McVay, with the city of Redmond.
Several vendors came to participate in the event. One of them, Battle Buddies Of Central Oregon, is a non-profit that trains dogs to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
"We figured, vets don't get enough help," said Michelle Flotz. "Thanks to vets, we can have events like this. Animals don't have enough homes. So if we could pair them up and help them both, we'd be excited."
Battle Buddies Of Central Oregon is hosting a fundraiser on June 5th at the Astro Lounge in Bend. For more information visit their website: http://www.battlebuddiesco.org/

Meijer Keeps Getting Bigger
Our little own Meijer is about to go over 200 stores, and expand into it's 6th State. Wisconsin is next up. Hard to believe that the little store that started in Greenville now finds itself in 6 states and over 200 stores. This is important, because let's remember, Meijer is headquartered here, and the Meijer family has given so much back to this community over the years. We should feel proud of out "little Meijer" stores… And even better – The Purple Cow is coming back!
My first Meijer memory was playing video games in the Traverse City Meijer when I was 5 – and yes, it was still a penny to ride the horse!

A "unique and very special" Sky TV worker who died after an alleged assault outside an Auckland bar last weekend was laid to rest today.
Hundreds of friends and family members paid tribute to Billy Dawson, 34, who suffered a fatal head injury after enjoying the Rugby World Cup atmosphere in the Viaduct on Friday, October 7.
Former colleagues told the emotional crowd gathered at Harewood Crematorium in Mr Dawson's home city of Christchurch that Sky TV "won't be the same again".
The mourners packed out the large chapel and spilled over outside, with loud speakers relaying the tributes inside from family and friends.
The extra-long wooden coffin for the 6-ft 7-inch Dawson was topped with flowers and was carried inside the chapel by six pallbearers to the Jimi Hendrix song, Angel.
Celebrant Richard Roberton led the touching 50-minute service for the music-loving man he described as being "quite unique and very special."
His brother Sam Dawson spoke on behalf of the immediate family. He said: "Everything about Billy was big. He was 6ft 7in, he had big hands, big head, big smile, big heart. Everything about him was big.
"Over the last few days, more than one friend has commented on his constant struggle to find shoes to fit his Ronald McDonald feet.
"It's absolutely fitting that there's a large crowd here today. It is very much a testament that people gravitated to Bills wherever he went. There are many reasons for this: his smile, his honesty, and sense of humour.
"We were all in awe at how many people came through the hospital that day to pay their respects to Bills and the family. His life was his friends and family."
Dawson was born in Christchurch in 1977, studied at Christ's College, and lived in Auckland where he had moved for work.
His brother-in-law, Coen Lammers, said Dawson, a respected member of Sky TV's back-room production team that covers live sporting events, specialising as a replay operator, was taken too soon.
Mr Lammers said: "Billy knew what was important in life: having fun, and looking after your friends and family.
"His amazing journey finished far too early but, boy, did he have fun doing it."
Nick Fleetwood had been friends with Dawson for more than 24 years after meeting him during trials for the Christchurch under-10s rugby team.
He described Dawson as "a happy man" who made the best out of every situation.
Mr Fleetwood added: "When Billy was at a party or a place, you knew it was going to be a great time."
Dawson had recently won a freelance contract with Channel 7 to work on the Australian broadcaster's coverage of the 2012 London Olympics.
After negotiating his own deal, he also secured Olympic work for about 10 of his Sky colleagues.
One of his workmates, Sam Brown said: "Sky won't be the same again without your big heart, big grin and big hands."
Dawson died on Friday, October 7. The circumstances surrounding his death are being investigated by police, while three men have already appeared in court in connection with the incident.
As he was leaving the Spy Bar last Friday, Dawson was punched in the face, causing him to fall over, sustaining a fatal head injury, a court heard earlier this week.
After the incident, he was rushed to Auckland Hospital but died hours later.
Kit John Murray appeared at Auckland District Court on Thursday charged with assault. He was denied bail, and police indicated more serious charges could be laid.
Judge David Burns said it was clear there was some kind of "altercation" between Mr Dawson, Murray, and Murray's two co-accused - Mona Christo Feterika and Antoni Te Moko Rogers, who have also been charged with assaulting Mr Dawson. They have been granted bail.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Paul Wightman told the court police were reviewing CCTV footage and have talked to a number of witnesses.
He said: "The defendant, when interviewed, has placed himself at the scene, has placed himself in some confrontation with the victim.
"He says he pushed the victim. Other witnesses say they saw a punch."
All three men will appear in court again at the end of this month.

We all know that it's important to include as many vitamins and minerals in our diet as possible. Beta-carotene is an important vitamin because it's responsible for protecting our cells from the harmful effects of free radicals. It's also promotes a healthy immune system and reproductive system. This juice is full of beta-carotene in addition to other health-promoting nutrients. The carrots in the juice have an enormous amount of lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that work together to promote eye health. The cantaloupe promotes good heart health because it is an excellent source of potassium. Give this juice a try today!
Beta-Carotene Blast
- 3 organic carrots
- 1 – 2 C kale
- 2 fresh apricots, pitted
- 1/4 cantaloupe, cut in two
Using your juicer machine, process the above ingredients. Pour into a tall glass and serve. Enjoy!

Owned by a retired airline captain and flight attendant who spent their lives travelling the world, until they discovered White Rock... now they never want to leave.
Margot Quistberg purchased this house in 2007
This rental is spacious, clean and well-equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and can highly recommend. Margot was friendly and helpful and very welcoming. If we come back to White Rock, we would definitely stay here again! Thanks!
There is nothing to say about this property but "Fantastic"!
Starting with owner who is the most accommodating person; the suite has top of the line everything you need and more. Walking distance to Whiterock city, beaches, restaurants,
Shopping and more. Close to Two border crossings to USA . Unit has own private entrance and patio Put this place on your bucket list!!!!
Our most comfortable VRBO experience to date.
The place is well taken care of and we loved playing with her two dogs.
Thank you Margot, for being a great host.
We stayed at this location for a month and loved it. It has everything you will need and then some. Margot it great and will look after you if you need anything.
We have rented many places thru VRBO and this is definitely one of the better ones. Everything in the suite was top of the line from the bedding to the kitchen and the television. We found Margot extremely easy to deal with and responded to our requests and concerns almost immediately in all cases. We will definitely be calling her again the next time we want to stay in White Rock.
We stayed in this suite for two nights. Margot was very responsive from the beginning and provided all the information we needed. She made special arrangements to make it easy for us to get into the suite as we had been delayed and she had an appointment for our new time of arrival. The suite itself is quite large and well decorated with 'high-end-finishes'. We found it extremely comfortable. It is equipped with absolutely everything one might need and includes a lot of thoughtful touches which make it more like a complete home than a suite. As we had been travelling around BC for a while by the date we arrived, we particularly appreciated having our own laundry. The private patio was also a real plus and we enjoyed sitting out there at the end of the day with a glass of wine. My sister in law who is a travel agent in White Rock was very impressed with the suite and its amenities and said she will be recommending it to her clients. We would definitely stay there again.

Reports: Logan Mankins and Vincent Jackson are seeking $10M each
|07.20.11 at 10:01 pm ET
Patriots offensive lineman Logan Mankins and San Diego wide receiver Vincent Jackson have waived a request for unrestricted free agency, but are still seeking $10 million each in compensation in return for signing off on the dismissal of the Brady vs. NFL lawsuit, according to Mike Freeman of CBS Sports and Jim Trotter of SI.com.
Mankins and Jackson, two of the 10 plaintiffs in the suit, were denied unrestricted free agency during the 2010 uncapped season, and both sat out a sizable chunk of the season as a result. (Jackson and Mankins were among a group of players who have had to wait six years to reach unrestricted free agency because of previous rules.) Jackson tweeted earlier this week that he has 'made no demands, I wanna play ball like the rest of my peers!' Meanwhile, the Mankins' camp has remained silent since the report first broke earlier this week.
It's unclear how much this is potentially holding up a new agreement. However, the players and owners are seeking a 'global resolution' to the lockout, which means the dismissal of all the legal action. As long as the lawsuit survives, it figures that both sides will remain at an impasse.

PLANTS and animals on the run from climate change will need to move at an average rate of a quarter of a mile a year to remain in their habitats over the course of this century, say scientists.
For species in flat, low-lying regions such as deserts, grasslands, and coastal areas, the necessary pace could be more than half a mile a year. Creatures and plants only able to tolerate a narrow range of temperatures will be most vulnerable.
Those unable to move to escape the effects of global warming could vanish into extinction. Plants in almost a third of the habitats studied were thought to fall into this category, a report in the journal Nature said.
Dr Chris Field, director of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology in California, said: "Expressed as velocities, climate-change projections connect directly to survival prospects for plants and animals."
The researchers forecast that climate conditions in less than 10 per cent of protected habitats around the world will be the same in 100 years as they are now.
This is expected to present a problem for many species.
"When we look at residence times for protected areas, which we define as the amount of time it will take current climate conditions to move across and out of a given protected area, only 8 per cent of our current protected areas have residence times of more than 100 years," said Dr Healy Hamilton, director of the Centre for Applied Biodiversity Informatics at the California Academy of Sciences, who took part in the research.
"If we want to improve these numbers, we need to both reduce our carbon emissions and work quickly toward expanding and connecting our global network of protected areas."

UPDATE: The results of the 2014 Manischewitz All-Star Cook-Off are in, and Jamie Brown-Miller of Napa is the grand prize winner.
Her winning recipe, "Waffled Latkes with Matzo Fried Chicken & Spicy Syrup," won over the panel of five judges. Her victory gives the Bay Area back-to-back victories in the national contest, as last year's winner was Josie A.G. Shapiro of San Francisco.
Brown-Miller received a trophy, and will also receive cash, a Saveur magazine subscription and a bundle of Maytag kitchen appliances. Manischewitz puts the value of the prize package at $25,000.
The competition was held Thursday, March 27 at the JCC in Manhattan.
Manischewitz is giving Jamie Brown-Miller a second chance.
Brown-Miller, who lives in Napa, was a finalist in the company's national cooking contest in 2010, and this year — thanks to a format change — she is once again one of the five finalists.
"I am hoping for some redemption," Brown-Miller said with a laugh.
"Last time, I went in with a cassoulet recipe I thought was great, but when I saw that Jacques Pepin — he is the king of cassoulet — was a judge, I figured he would throw my dish on the floor," Brown-Miller said. "I failed, but I am persistent. I do not let a loss get to me. I take it as a chance to regroup on what I want to accomplish."
The Manischewitz cooking competition has undergone some changes this year.
First of all, it is being called the Manischewitz All-Star Cook-Off rather than what it was called from its inception in 2007 through last spring, the Man-O-Manischewitz Cook-Off.
Secondly, the "All-Star" terminology is being used because instead of being open to cooks nationwide, this year's contest is open only to finalists from the past seven contests — "an exciting twist" according to organizers.
Some 30 finalists from past cook-offs were invited to compete for a spot in the finals, which will take place March 27 at the Manhattan JCC in New York City, by submitting a new recipe. Four finalists, including Brown-Miller, were chosen by a panel, and a fifth was selected as the "people's choice" entrant in an online vote.
Brown-Miller will be trying to make it two straight victories for the Bay Area, as Josie A.G. Shapiro of San Francisco won the 2013 title with her recipe, "Faux Pho." Shapiro, a fundraiser at the JCC of San Francisco, now writes a biweekly recipe column for J.
Not only is Brown-Miller, 38, eagerly anticipating her shot at redemption, but she also has some experience in getting a second chance — and capitalizing on it. In 2010, she failed to place in the Gilroy Garlic Festival's cook-off, and the next year she won it all.
"Second time's a charm for Great Garlic Cook-Off winner," blared the headline in San Benito County Today. Brown-Miller beat out seven other finalists with her recipe "Stacked Steak Napoleon on Garlic Paper with Asparagus, Radicchio, Shiitakes and Stilton."
Her recipe for the Manischewitz cook-off this time around is titled "Chicken and Waffles," but it isn't quite the traditional take on the Southern favorite. Rather, it's waffled latkes with matzah-fried chicken and spicy syrup.
"The kosher maple syrup is mixed with Sriracha [chili sauce], which gives it a kick," Brown-Miller said.
All recipes in the contest must adhere to kosher guidelines, be prepared in under an hour and have no more than nine ingredients, including one Manischewitz broth plus one additional product from the company.
Though she is not Jewish, Brown-Miller said some members of her extended family are, and she enjoys cooking with kosher ingredients.
Brown-Miller said she came up with the recipe after tasting fried chicken and waffles at a restaurant in Napa.
"Everybody was raving about it, but I thought it could be better if it were tweaked," she said.
Her recipe includes Manischewitz Potato Pancake Mix for the waffled latkes and Manischewitz Matzo Ball Mix to coat the chicken tenders.
The other finalists are from Miami ("Halibut Couscous"); Rockville, Md. ("Beef Tenderloin Puffs"); New York ("Latke-Crusted Chicken with Apple Cider, Mushroom and Rosemary Sauce"); and Philadelphia ("Bubby's Noodle Studel).
The grand prize is worth $25,000 and includes cash, a trip to New York City, a crystal trophy, Maytag kitchen appliances and a subscription to Saveur magazine, which is cosponsoring the cook-off. A panel of judges will decide the winner.
Brown-Miller, who owns an insurance company with her husband, said she started entering cooking contests in 2009 and now enters a few each week.
"It's my hobby," she said. "I have won something as small as a package of smoked salmon all the way up to a new TV, but I haven't won anything huge yet," she said. For her win in the Garlic Festival contest, she took home the top prize of $1,000 — and the coveted crown of garlic.
"Though I do win here and there," Brown said, "most of all the contests are just fun for me, almost a reward for what I like to do, which is cook, and share meals with my family and our friends."

|Youch! Get back in there where you belong!
So when Perfect Bosom Buddy #2 broke free of it's oh-so-soft lining yesterday, I began to grumpily resign myself to the idea of having to make a trip to the mall this weekend and use that credit card I'm trying to keep nice and cool in my wallet.
But then I realized what a perfect opportunity this was to get another contemporary farm girl skill under my belt! I decided to give underwire bra repair a good college try. It it worked, that'd be $45 still in my bank account, and one less abandoned bra taking up space in the landfill.
I'm very pleased with how the repair came out. The bra feels very comfortable, and it took me less than 15 minutes to fix it. Want to try my method with one of your poky underwires?
Here's what you'll need:
*The bra (duh)
*A hot glue gun and glue stick
*A small piece of felt, any color (I just used cheap felt that I had in my craft box)
|I used regular and nail scissors, but you'll be
fine if you just have one of those.
Pull out the offending underwire so there's enough exposed to pinch between your fingers.
|Don't pull it out too much or it might be hard to get back in.
|It doesn't have to be exactly 1"; I ended up
trimming quite a bit at the end anyway.
|Fold the felt side to side.
|If the felt tries to unfold, put a tiny bit of hot glue
in the fold and squeeze it shut.
|Dot of glue...
|...and fold down the felt.
|Looks like a little Q-Tip!
|Little vertical cut...
|...and back in place.
|Bit of glue behind the felt...
|...and squeeze for a few seconds to set.
|Glue another piece of felt over the repair area.
|All finished and can't even feel it against my skin!

IWLA Supports Job Protection Bill That Would Rein in the NLRB
June 15, 2011 (DES PLAINES, IL) – The International Warehouse Logistics Association supports legislation recently introduced in Congress designed to prevent the highly politicized National Labor Relations Board from continuing to overstep its authority.
The bill, called the Job Protection Act, was introduced by senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Jim DeMint (R-SC). It would ensure employers have the ability to choose in which states they can operate and create jobs. The bill enjoys the support of more than 200 organizations.
The bill's introduction follows the widely publicized actions taken by the NLRB's acting general counsel Lafe Solomon to prevent Boeing from opening a plant in South Carolina. Solomon has said the board also will act to prevent companies moving or creating new operations in 21 other states with right-to-work laws that protect employees from being forced to join unions against their will. Solomon is a career NLRB attorney. He was appointed by the president to the general counsel position and is subject to Senate confirmation.
IWLA President and CEO Joel D. Anderson said the legislation shows how out of control the board has become. "The Boeing case is just one more instance of how the NLRB is attempting to create a one-sided, union-enhancing process," Mr. Anderson said.
He added: "The board's actions during the past few years, including but not limited to the Boeing case, are so extreme that they seem to serve no other public purpose than placing fear in employees to expand their workforce in the United States. While the administration continues to encourage employers to hire, its NLRB does all it can to punish employers. We hope the latest unemployment numbers are a wakeup call for the administration."

The LAW is looking for aspiring female writers - that's the Ladies' Anthology Writers Association. It's a new group of writers being formed by author and publisher Theresa D. Berger, who is getting word out that women writers can sign up.
Berger has always been artistic. In 2010, she started her own publishing company, a way to stay home with her two children and still make a living. The first book Berger published was her own, "Me and My Boy Skippy, Living Life with Autism," a story about life as a single mom raising a son with autism. After learning the publishing ropes on her own book, she moved on and published several other books written by other local authors. Through the process Berger got the idea for a new kind of writer's group, a group of women who support each other through the writing process with the goal of publishing anthologies about a variety of subjects.
"A light bulb came on and I thought why can't I get a group of women together and we can write life stories to help women get through different types of struggles," said Berger. "I'm calling the members law enforcement officers. Our readers to whom we are reaching are law abiding citizens and those who haven't done right by us, instead of saying 'Oh, my ex-husband did this,' we're going to call them outlaws. The mission of the association is to empower, encourage, enlighten and inspire our readers with our insightful poetry and prose."
Berger says writers who join won't make millions, but they will get the joy of helping each other get published and maybe help other women through difficult situations with the finished product. Who knows, in the process they may even help themselves.
"I found that when I wrote my book about Skippy it made me feel better. I was able to put my feelings out on paper," said Berger.
To get things rolling, Berger decided the first anthology would be filled with short stories about the life struggles of women. Submission cost is $99 per story. The group will meet from 6 to 8 p.m. Jan. 30 at Half Off Books, 2641 Enterprise Road, Orange City. Writers do not have to attend to be part of the anthology. For information visit sunsationalpublishing.com or call Berger at 386-215-1904.

Wow, a month is impressive Kris! Today has been much better. John had a pajama day today....just what he needed.
They now sell power aid flavour drops for your water. They're very easy to carry with you, not sure if they have the electrolytes though, I'll have to check.
John is quite sore tonight but he won't take any pain meds because he's afraid that if he does they'll mask any symptoms of infection. SO Frustrating! He was a little chilled when we got home from the hospital so he's convinced himself that he's developing an infection. The heat is not turned on yet so the house is a little cool. I took his temp and is was actually a little below normal so I loaded on the blankets and he slept for a few hours. When he woke we took his temp again and it was normal, but he thinks it's rising. It did rise, but that's because it was below normal to begin with. Argh. I know he's just afraid of another infection ( he's had two that have landed him in the hospital for week long stays) but sometimes I think he can talk himself into a fever. Luckily, our two daughters started chatting to him about wedding plans (our eldest is getting married in April) and distracted him for an hour. By the time we took his temp again he realized that it was holding steady at normal. He still wouldn't take any pain meds before bed, but at least he's not insisting he has an infection. I sure hope he stays fever free or he'll be saying "I told you so!" :-)
Hi Michelle, my husband also belongs to the stubborn club, so I can totally relate. When I think he needs to be seen by a doctor I give him three choices...he or I calls the doctors office for guidance, or we go to emerg, OR I call an ambulance. I promise that I will follow through and so we've never had to call an ambulance. I've been really ill before and tried to deny needing to go to emerg. Luckily no one listened to me and dragged me to the hospital - I ended up having a heart attack (at age 42) in the waiting room! Ever since that happened I've been non negotiable when it comes to making the call about seeing the doctor when I have a gut feeling. You may not feel very strong, but I can tell that you are super strong Michelle. You are handelling so much right now, more than the average mom/wife should ever have to handle. Be kind to yourself and know that there are many people here that believe in your strength. My son always says "We have to use our Super Powers for good!" Sometimes we have to use them to get others the care they need. Hang in there Michelle, one day at a time. As I read in another post...."just keep swimming...."
Hi Kris; sounds like we're on the same coaster ride. The first thing we did when we got home was get some pain meds into him. He's resting quietly at home now. The Gatorade is a great suggestion - thanks!
John is in recovery and doing well. So relieved.
Thank you Lainy for your encouragement. It's an honour to walk this journey with John, and already it has given us the opportunity to grow even deeper in love.
I think you're right, these stents will likely help John feel so much better and he won't need to worry about them.
One day at a time, right? :-)
My husband, John, hilar cc, is having his PTCD drains replaced today with metal stents. His radiation/ chemo was supposed to start Monday, but has been delayed to have these stents placed. HE's had several blockages and two infections with the PTCD's so hopefully this solves the problems.
While I have no issues with the drains when they need to be un-capped it always upsets John and makes him feel really nauseous. I wish I could help him get over that - I keep assuring him that it doesn't bother me in the least to empty the bags or change the dressings. He's never been sick a day in his life and has always been there for me when I was ill with depression, recovering from a heart attack and other surgeries....I've always been the patient. I wish I could take his place. He!s been a little down this week and It breaks my heart. We have so much to be thankful for and that is what I keep focussing on (as does John). I think he's just realizing how long this journey is going to be and it's all bit overwhelming. We were both just saying this morning that we need to see CC as a chronic illness, not a life sentence. Our eldest daughter is getting married the end of April so that will be our focus for now. Even though he is on the Mayo protocol for a liver transplant, I am not pinning my hopes on that as the only positive outcome. Whatever happens we'll face it together and try to make the most of every day.
So, Next week he'll have a renal scan done and hopefully the radiation simulation so he can start the radiation/chemo ASAP. I just keep thinking that they found the tumour in July but there has been no chemo or radiation done yet (because of high bilirubin, infections and drain issues).....let's just say my imagination is running wild. I am doing a lot of self talking lately and working hard to keep fear out and let hope in. I appreciate this wonderful site, it's very hard to talk to others about cc as no one seems to have ever heard of it. That's another mission of mine; educating as many people as I can about cc and raising awareness. It's such a little thing, but it's what I can do for now.
Thank you Pattimelt, that was lovely.
Hi Milenz; we are very pleased with John's treatment so far at PMH. It's not perfect but the doctors seem to really care. Dr. Moulton is lovely. She is very professional, knowledgable but also honest and realistic. We have an entire team of doctors, but Dr. Moulton is our main oncologist. We also like that we have a Nurse coordinator that we can call or email with questions - she is absolutely wonderful. This is all still very new to John and I and we are just learning about this horrid disease, but we do feel like we are in the right place. I'm sure that your doctor consults with docs at PMH but it probably wouldn't hurt to have a second opinion from one of the cc docs at PMH.
Wow...thanks so much for this Gavin. My husband, John, was diagnosed with non resectable hilar cc and is on the Mayo protocol for liver transplant. His is supposed to begin radiation and capecitabine (xeloda) within the next 10 days. I don't know if the radiation is SBRT though. It's all a bit terrifying, but we are hoping and praying that transplant is the right option. It seems that so very few patients actually make it onto the transplant list and then out of those that make it onto the transplant list sometimes get removed because of spread. They've assured us that even if John doesn't qualify for transplant after the chemo radiation and lyphectomy they'll be able to control the cancer and extend his life - so hard to know what the right thing to do is.
Hi Milenzz;
I'm also from Canada, Toronto actually, so we're practically neighbors. My husband has hilar cc and is being treated at Princess Margaret by Dr. Moulton. They seem to be extremely well versed in cholangiocarcinoma at the PMH. He is about to start xeloda and will be also having radiation at the same time. I'm afraid I can't tell you how the xeloda works just yet. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. This is such a horrendous disease. I wish you all the best. Peace.
Hi there Oceangirl;
just wanted to let you know that I'm holding you and your brother (and your entire family) in my thoughts. Time is so precious and it's wonderful that you can spend some with your brother and family to make wonderful memories to hold in your hearts.
Donellalu; My heart is aching for you, your mom and your entire family. I know I am new to this group, but I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you and holding your family in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom sounds like an amazing woman who has filled your heart with many good memories. How wonderful that you can be there with her, such a special gift for both of you and such a great support and comfort for your dad. Peace and blessings to you and your family.
Does anyone have any experience with Florastor? It's a probiotic taken twice daily to help restore "good" bacteria in the gut. My husband recently had C diff colitis and I'd like to help protect him from that happening again. He is starting his radiation and chemo within the next 10 days. Any thoughts or information about your experience with Florastor would be greatly appreciated.
Rachael and Cathy, I am so inspired by both of you! Thank you. My husband is on the Mayo protocol for a liver transplant - he has a hilar cholangiocarcinoma that is non resectable. He was diagnosed in July. There are so few people that get this transplant that it's difficult to know how successful it is. Thank you so much for giving us hope!
Thanks for the warm welcome Kris.
John's tumour is non resectable because it is in the bile duct that sits in the middle of the liver and is also resting against a portal vein. A transplant is his only option for a cure. He will be taking Xeloda (chemo) twice a day, 7 days a week in conjunction with radiation twice a day, five days a week, for five weeks.
He started out with a PTCD only on the right side of his liver and a stent on the left side, but his left lobe is quite atrophied and the stent wasn't working so they put a PTCD on his left side as well. They think the tumour started on the left side of the bile duct.
The team at Toronto General Hospital and Princess Margaret are all very familiar with Hilar cholangiocarcinoma and have replicated the protocol from the Mayo Clinic. I didn't realize that it was a relatively rare cancer. I think that John was very lucky with his tumour location because it presented with Jaundice overnight and was therefore caught very early. Weird to see that as a lucky thing!
How wonderful that your husbands tumour was resectable! I have heard that everyone responds to chemo differently. John was told that the most common side effect of Xeloda is hand food syndrome - very dry sore hands and feet that sometimes develop blisters. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Hi everyone. My name is Tanya and my husband, John, 57, was diagnosed with Hilar cholangiocarcinoma, also known as a Klatskin tumor on July 19, 2013. His tumour is located in the Y of the common bile duct and is around 2 1/2 cm. So far there is no spread (PET scan, CT scans, MRI, and needle biopsy of lymph nodes. He is currently on the Mayo protocol for a liver transplant.
He has had internal/external drains placed on both sides of his liver and this has helped reduce his bilirubin from 499 to 37 so that he can finally start the chemo/radiation regime. He will need to have the drains replaced this week with metal stents before radiation begins, (hopefully in 10 days.)
We live in Toronto and are extremely pleased with the team of doctors that are working with us, but it's all rather overwhelming.
It frightens me that the tumour was found in July but no chemo or radiation has taken place (because of the high bilirubin). He's also had two infections since the placement of the drains but has managed to fight them off after time in the hospital on iv antibiotics. Unfortunately he also developed C dificile during the last infection but that now also seems to be gone.
Other than the cancer John has been the picture of perfect health and takes no medications for anything. I guess he has that going for him.
We have been married for 27 years and have three children 24, 21 and 16. I am so thankful to have found this space to share thoughts and concerns. As a caregiver I feel so overwhelmed at times and generally anxious about what lay ahead for John. We are working hard to remain hopeful that he'll be able to get a liver transplant but in the back of my mind I am so afraid that it will spread. I can't imagine life with out John, but I'm also incredibly grateful that we are together here and now. Our entire world changed in the blink of an eye.

I seriously cannot wait for the sequel, Underworld! Guess what? Abandon is a trilogy with only 3 books.. She said it herself, go to the Abandon page and she wrote it there big and clearly, Abandon Trilogy.. But hey, we only read one of them. 2 AWESOME BOOKS TO GO!!
Yah. I guess a trilogy is better than just one.

I liked her description of them and the fact that they can take over a person if their character is weak enough. I think that we all have a bit of bad in us, and if not strong enough, it can get out of control.
But I am also confused about something. In the Greek myth retellings I have read, the furies serve the lord of the dead and do his bidding. I know John isn't the ruler of the dead, but he does control/reinforce the Underword and the dead. Why are the furies punishing him? And why do they not want John to have a wife/girlfriend thing?
I have a theory. I suspect that the things that are after John are actually NOT furies but something altogether different. Perhaps another mythological creature that is an enemy of John. Pierce's grandma mentioned that they had been trying to destroy John for a long time. Why would they want to do that? How do they plan to use Pierce? Why do they want her to "stay dead"?
On the topic of Pierce's necklace, I agree with Pierce; this thing should have come with a user's manual. We know that around people whom Pierce trusts, it turns "a cheerful purple" and black or gray when furies or other dark creatures are around. But how did it help Pierce escape from the Underworld (the first time)? Does it do more than just change colors when the wearer is in danger? I really hope we find out more about this necklace and its origin in the next book!
I think that Pierce is a very lovable character, but not really relatable. I don't really mean that in a bad way, I love Pierce, but she is very different from me. Also, I don't know many people who can relate to coming back from the dead. But her fear and the fact that she just wants to forget the past even though she knows she can't, is quite relatable. I think that practically everyone has tried to escape something in their past at one point or another.
I also think that Pierce is a good person in general, although the outside world might not see her as such. I liked that Meg showed that a person can be good and kind while she doesn't necessarily do well in school.
I found her very believable and I think that her actions mimic what I might do in her situation. I can't wait to see her character develop in the next two books!
Also: how the HELL can John control the weather? Is it an unconscious thing? Does he do it knowingly? I thought he was supposed to be HADES not ZEUS!

She said, "We're going to find out a lot more about John Hayden, who is the male protagonist and lord of the underworld. But there are many underworlds in this world, so there is not just one. If there was, it would be very crowded."
I bolded the part that I found most interesting. More than one underworld, huh? Intriguing!!!

Which cover do you all prefer? I prefer the US one because I think that the other one looks too much like a vampire novel.
I think I like the US one (it's what I have). Other one's cool still. I agree about the vampire thing! Lol.
I think Abandon has one of the most "serious" covers out of all of Meg's books, yeah?

Hehe. I agree Jamie. It probably is the most serious. Though the vampire thing is totally bogus. The red and black colors stand for the underworld DUH. Not just vampires. Silly people.
It think UK one looks beautiful. And the font is cool too. Both and fantastic.
Based on the covers I'd read either honestly.

The UK cover is awesome, but I think the US one fits the book more. Plus, the gold and the deep brown remind me of chocolate, contrasted with her beautiful dress... I was like "EEEEE!!!" when I saw the cover for the first time, because it was so gorgeous.
oooh, is there a way to post the cover of the UK version?? I want to see it!!

Oh wow, that cover is awesome! I think it has a lot to do with the story actually though! Since Pierce knows the dark side of death, and since she has seen the other side. She could have gone both ways when she died, to the good side, or to the underworld. I think that cover is actually pretty relevant, I like it! I think it makes even more sense than the US cover. The US cover is really pretty though, but it doesn't really relate to Pierce's character very much I thought. I don't know, this is just completely my opinion...

I don't think that John is hot enough. C'mon. He is the LORD OF AN UNDERWORLD!
I agree, although frankly, we can imagine him looking however we want! Mwahahahahaha! No, but I tried really hard the whole book to imagine him how he was discribed, which was hard, because "John" doesn't fit the appearance AT ALL in my imagination. But you know. Yeah. If only she'd made his FIRST name Hayden... then I could've imagined him better.

When I'd first heard about Abandon, I immediately knew I was going to like it. Even if Meg hadn't have turned out to be the author I would have probably read it eventually. The idea was just simply, well, awesome! Ever since I started learning about greek mythology, I remember favoring the Persephone myth over all the others. And Hades isn't even my favorite god. For some reason I just liked the idea of how he'd do anything to make her stay with him, he wanted her at his side that much. Its probably the most romantic out of all the greek myths, I'd have to say. Even in spite of how creepy it actually is if you think about it....Lol.
So then, of course, what does Meg do? She thinks up an even BETTER version of the story for me to read!
Classic Meg, always knowing exactly what I want to read about.
And thats just the thing. Everything about it was just so brilliantly thought out. Like the flashbacks, for example. The way Meg seemed to carry the story along, hinting at clues here and there about Pierce's past, only to later reveal it as a memory. It almost had this mysterious thing to it. As if Meg was letting us solve a puzzle. She laid out most of the pieces for us, we just had to allow the story unfold in order to gradually put them together. Genius I'm telling you!
Then theres John Hayden. The wild, mysterious, John. The ruler of an underworld! I don't care what anyone says, I utterly loved him! To DEATH even (pun intended that time) . I liked that he was tricky to figure out. Usually the majority of Meg's love interests (or at least the ones I've been introduced to so far), like I think I saw someone mention somewhere, have all had some sort of perfectness about them. Like they are always the all-around-good guy or something. Yet, In Abandon, John seemed to be anything but.
Meg was certainly playing the "wild" card with this one. I don't know, I guess he was just sort of refreshing to me. Loved him, loved him, loved him!
Plus his eyes. I mean come on, you have to admit it, you don't see THOSE everyday. Sure, I'm all for the blue eyes, but when someone says grey, I flip. Needless to say she picked his eye color wonderfully, if I do say so myself.
So as you can probably tell, I'm practically bubbling over with praise for Abandon right now. So much, possibly, that this comment might not even make sense to you...
I loved everything from it's title, to it's cover, to it's writing, to it's characters, to the actual story itself. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about it, nothing at all. It was just THAT freaking darn awesome.
Its sad though. Now that I've finally gotten around to reading it, I have to wait for Underworld to come out in the spring. :/ May 8th can't come fast enough...Hurry up time! Lol.
Anyway, job well done Meg! You never disappoint, thats for sure!

Every library in the city is crowded. Where you been?
Minimum ticket price in the new arena for hockey will easily be 100bucks/ticket with all charges. Easy. If anybody wants to bet on that.
you think a normal family of 4 is going to plunk down 400buck minimum just to get in? Another 100bucks on concessions?
Remember as well people are engaged in "boomspeak' at the moment. Theres nobody here in the 90's that would be suggesting that people would be spending this kind of money on entertainment back then. Premium Oiler tickets were going for 20bucks pretty much any night right outside of Northlands. Scalpers could barely give them away.
Guess what discretionary spending gets cut first during a downturn?
High priced entertainment.
Guess where were headed?

Aug 8, 2012 - MCT News ServiceLOS ANGELES -- The guitar riffs come from punk rock, the lyrics from fascist ideology. Bands stake their territory with names like Aryan Rebels and Definite Hate. And when the Blue Eyed Devils sing "White Victory," you can bet that it isn't a love song.
This hate-filled subculture of neo-Nazi bands has been around since the early days of punk rock in the 1970s, but has edged uneasily into the spotlight following the shooting deaths of six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin by alleged gunman Wade Michael Page.
Page spent years playing bass and guitar in bands that railed against a racially integrated America. His last endeavor, End Apathy, sang of compassion as a weakness and called America a "sick society."
"There is a whole underworld of racist bands unknown to the public," said Mark Potok, senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that tracks right-wing extremism "Music is their single most important recruiting method, more than any other factor."
Page is typical of the scene's regulars, said Arno Michaels, a Milwaukee-based writer and peace activist with the group Life After Hate. Michaels played in white-power punk bands for years, leaving after the birth of his daughter and after seeing friends die in street clashes.
"When I got into the punk scene, I enjoyed the aggression and rebellion," Michaels said. Wearing a Nazi swastika "created an environment where the world responded with hate and violence, which to me justified what I was doing."
Page became involved in white-power punk after attending 2000's Hammerfest, a fascist-punk festival hosted by the Nazi group Hammerskin in Orlando, Fla., according to an interview with Page posted on the website of Label 56, which released his albums.
In 2001, Page joined a Nazi band called Youngland that was based in Orange County, Calif., playing with the group for about two years, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
"Orange County is a huge white power music scene," said Mark Pitcavage, director of investigative research for the ADL. "There are a lot of white power bands and there are a lot of places they can play. It's a hotspot."
Exact figures for the secretive scene's reach are difficult to come by. Potok estimates there are several hundred bands, including ones based in Europe.
Most performances are underground and unadvertised, to avoid drawing attention from authorities and to prevent adversaries from disrupting the event and attacking show-goers.
An invitation to a white-power punk show more often comes as a phone call or text message.
"Most common is they announce the event, and they say if you want info, contact X," Pitcavage said. "If you contact X, they will contact you back if you did not raise any flags with them. They have learned the hard way to evolve."

Last evening I got an e-mail from a reporter in the Venice bureau of the
Sarasota Herald. She found me via "Dave's Garden." She wanted to know if
she could quote something I'd written on DG about night blooming cereus.
Then she asked me if I was aware of what had happened to one of
80-year-old night blooming cereus plants in an older neighborhood on
Venice island. I said I wasn't.
Turns out that a woman, Ms. Ruth, now in her 80s, "planted" night blooming
cereus on two palm trees [Phoenix canariensis] in the median in front of
her house in the mid-1940s. I don't know which genus of NBC they
are--they're an epiphyte and their vegetative body is cylindrical, about
the diameter of a hot dog but in much longer stems. For the last 30 or so
years, the annual blooming of these two plants has been occasion for a
block party; many neighbors gathered in Ms. Ruth's front courtyard at
sundown and waited until the cacti flowers open.
Last year, the reporter told me, the assembled neighbors counted more than
200 blooms. It must have been beyond glorious.
About a week ago, a young city park's department employee cut the NBC off
one of the palms before he could be stopped. "I was told to clean up
street trees," he said. "And I thought this one was ugly." Here are two
pictures I took this AM; one is of the remaining "ugly" tree, the other is
of the beautified tree. If you know anything about pruning P. canariensis,
you'll find the beautified tree looks like it was trimmed by Freddy

Try not to stress over the bees, I'm sure they'll do fine. Sometimes there is fighting even if there were not a queen in one of the hives combined. From what you say, you see a couple hundred dead or so, maybe more, and that is minor compared to the boost in population you now have after the combine.
We are in the time of year where it's best not to be messing with the hives. If they are light on stores then maybe feed in a non invasive way, but they'd have to be very light for me to mess with them now. Feeding syrup just adds to the moisture in the hive, if you feel they need more feed, try feeding dry sugar over a sheet of newspaper trimmed so that it has space around the edges for bees to get thru on the top of the top bars of the top box with an empty box and lid on top of that. But I'd do that only if the hive seemed very light in stores, and it sounds like yours do have stores already.

Everyone enjoys a good colonoscopy now and again, right? What? That's an exit only in your book? Hmmm, what to do, what to do. Given Imaging has a solution. Say hello to the Pillcam. It is, in case you haven't guessed, a camera small enough to be swallowed. The Pillcam takes thousands of snapshots of your gooey innards as it passes through your body. Delicious! It seems that some insurance companies are even covering this slightly less invasive diagnostic option. Technology is always taking the fun out of going to the doctor, no?

Requirements For Hiking
Hiking is an exhilarating experience and a great way to take a break from the mundane and routine schedule of daily living and enjoy the fresh air and scenic surroundings. Hiking unlike walking in urban areas actually refers to vigorous and long walks on footpaths or trails in the countryside or mountainside.
Choosing the right hiking backpack is equally important as carrying all the essentials and being equipped for a hike. The points to consider while choosing a backpack for a hike include the length of the hike, whether it is a day hike, an overnight hike or a hike that will last for more than a week. The size and capacity of a backpack will vary depending on the duration of the trip.
Also, the personal backpacking style needs to be considered before choosing a hiking backpack, whether the user is more inclined towards light weight and comfortable travelling or the hiker needs to carry old and bulky gear or if the hiker is looking for space efficiency. The other thing that determines the type of backpack is the body type of the hiker. Most think that a hiker's height plays a role in selecting a backpack but it is actually the torso length. Once these points are considered choosing the correct backpack for a hike becomes easy and makes the hike more fun instead of cumbersome.
Those hiking for a day do not require a lot of equipments but the essential items one must carry include some food, water, protective gear against rain and a map. The list of requirements might become elaborate if the hike is long, rigorous or night hiking. But common for all these hikes is the need for sturdy, durable and comfortable boots that help provide stability as well as protection from the rough terrain when walking on a mountain or backpacking to a spot. Other vital items to pack for a hike include a tactical flashlight, a compass, sunscreen, sunglasses, knife, fire starter and most important a first aid kit along with other necessities such as insect repellents, hat, gloves, emergency blanket and a navigation device that works on GPS. The most important thing is a backpack which is vital to pack all these items into such that the weight is not overbearing.
Hiking can be a little rigorous and may cause fatigue and muscle spasms and pain if not physically fit or if hikers are not accustomed to it. Thus it is advisable for those going on a hike to train a little before hand and build stamina. Other than being a little physically taxing compared to walking in urban areas and parks, hiking is a pleasurable activity that refreshes one's mind and also can be counted as an adventurous workout.

Angelina Jolie Buying $20 Million Heart-Shaped Island For Brad Pitt?
Angelina Jolie is "splashing out" nearly $20 million to buy Brad Pitt a "heart-shaped island," claims The Mirror, which has reported inaccurately on the couple for years.
Back in 2011, the outlet wrote that Jolie and Pitt were adopting a girl named Leah from Haiti — that was bogus. Last year, the newspaper claimed that Jolie was "dead-set" on starring in Fifty Shades of Grey — which was simply not true. Now the Mirror says the actress-director thinks Petra — an 11-acre island featuring two homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, located 50 miles off the coast New York — "would be a perfect 50th birthday gift for her superstar partner."
"The house is perfect for romantic getaways or as a family retreat. It's very private. And Angelina knows the fact the island is in the shape of a heart will mean so much to him," explains a so-called "source" for the outlet. That does sound nice.
Unfortunately, there's absolutely no basis for the story. Given the Mirror's sloppy track record with Jolie and Pitt, Gossip Cop reached out to sources close to the couple to confirm the report — and none of them had heard anything about it. It looks like this grand romantic gesture is just a tabloid fantasy.

Payments Views - Cross Border Bill Payment
Bill payment across borders has the same demands as paying domestic bills – you've got to link the funds to the correct account, make sure the money gets there and credited on time and provide the ability to pay for late charges when it doesn't. On top of that, add foreign exchange conversion.
Have a look.

Does your business have a bad reputation?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
This is the worst company you can ever do business with. They are rude, deceitful and shysters. I paid off my loan two years ago and came back to repo my car with some frivolous charges. They also messed up my credit claiming that there is a balance due. They never provide you with a statement, nor can you ever get information about your account. The worst one out of the bunch is Mario. Their actions are nothing short of blackmail. When you call them to find what these extra charges are, they hang up on you and threaten you some more.
I finally got a copy of my statements after six years of getting hung up on and cussed at, and threats. They repossed my car after paying it off one and a half years later and refused to return my pink slip. After getting the services of a lawyer, they finally gave me a copy of my statemnt itemizing my payments and their charges. Upon carefull review of this statemnt, I discorvered that they changed the interest rates on my loan without notifying me and and without my consent (Disclosure issues) I have a copy of the original contract document and the first print out six months into the loan after my payments were contanly changed every month for the entire duration of the loan, contradicting the loan contract details.
Till today they refused to discuss why and refund my excessive charges and over charges, after sending them a demand letter. They charged me another $1200.00 in fees on top of the amount they fraudulently claimed I owed them, and messed up my credit report after paying them diligently for five years plus.

From Tiffany
The events of September 11 were tragic and unforgettable for us all. Every now and then I find myself thinking about what exactly happened that day, every single thing that I did that day. I guess I'm reminding myself of that day so I can be sure to tell my children about it. To deal with my various feelings, I realized it helps to talk about it. I think these events have helped the people of the world to become more unified.
