Once again, the author of Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene, leaving the powers-that-be in tatters and his audience in hysterics. Al Franken thrives on being in the opposition, and now that the Republican party controls both the Oval Office and Congress, the gloves are off and the satire is fast and furious.
Franken's specialty is using his targets' own words to make comedic and political points. Finding logical inconsistencies, factual errors, and doublespeak wherever he looks, Franken takes on and destroys the myth of liberal bias in the media, hoists the Bush White House on its own rhetorical petard, and punctures the mean-spirited sanctimony of such media darlings as Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and host of post-Limbaugh talk-radio gasbags. Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always uproarious, Lies is sure to raise hackles and spark hilarity inside the Beltway and from sea to shining sea.
Listen to Al Franken talk about Lies on Fresh Air from September 3, 2003.
©2003 AL Franken; (P)2003 HighBridge Company
"In the kicking, spitting spirit of all-star political discourse, Al Franken gives as good as he gets." (New York Times)
"Riotous...provocative reading for everyone.... Franken's sardonic critique of our culture of political disinformation is serious business." (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
"Memo to Fox: Hire Al Franken." (Business Week)
"A real eye opener and fun, too!!"
Franken exposes more than just the lies of the right-wing media and right-wing politicians. He exposes their veniality and cruelty as well. Franken shows the right for what it is -- obsessed with the desire for power and willing to use every sleazy rhetorical trick to do it.
Most of the time, Franken's prose is hilarious. The jokes tend to misfire when they are intentionally cruel and venal themselves. His arguments would have been stronger (albeit less funny) if he had avoided using the very techniques he criticizes. I'm sorry. Having one character release (fictionally) a "big, rattling fart" made me cringe. There's enough material here that flatulence jokes are unnecessary. Talk about "lowering the tone"!
Please note, however, that I gave the book a five-star rating. It's so funny in parts that i almost wrecked my car. It's so relevatory and damning that I now view the right as a real threat and not just a bunch of misguided souls. It's even inspirational enough that I just might get off my ass, get politically active, and DO something to get the right-wing out of power. Now that's a powerful book!
"Accuracy can be fun"
Many individuals believe the lies and see humor in many right wing commentators. I often fume when I catch an O'Reilly, Limbaugh and others in boldface lies in order to promote an agenda. They know the average devotee hasn't the patience, knowledge or desire to refute the lying liers. Franken had bright Harvard students at his disposal when he was a fellow at the college. Using his wit, intelligence and patriotism he has used well-researched refutations of lies and plain truth to tell "the HONEST side of the story." "Lies" is hillarious and a righteous antidote to the simplistic bombast of right wing liers. Our country needs MUCH more fine commentary like "Lies" as we enter an election year.
"A Tour de Force!"
Let's get this straight - whether you're liberal or conservative, you've got to have a sense of humor to appreciate Al Franken. You've got to be able to appreciate when he's being sarcastic and when he's being straight. You see, in order to be "Fair & Balanced," Al has to overstate the case for the left in order to "balance" the lies he exposes of the right. Therefore, you're not going to hear a "balanced" explication of the "left," you'll hear a committed, intelligent liberal explain how life looks through the eyes of a committed, intelligent liberal, with no apologies. What you'll also get are facts - PLENTY OF THEM! Team Franken DID the research and painstakingly excoriates the lies of the right, point by point. Let me put this clearly - you will not hear the folks on the right take Franken on over his criticism of their lies, because they can't. He's nailed them dead-to-rights. You'll also get Al's fantastic reading of his own material, which is the way it ought to be received. Al sounds as if he's speaking without notes, from memory. His narration communicates more than the printed page every could, by itself.
So - listen to Al report the lies, and then YOU decide - while you're having a great time!
"Read this book if you hate America"
I never liked Al much on SNL, but he's hit his stride here: funny, articulate, well-researched, and pretty darn even-handed. BTW, for you Rush and Ann fans, the title of this review is "ironic". Being a middle-of-the-roader, fiscally/militarily conservative and socially liberal, I've listened to people from both sides, and I've grown to detest factually challenged emotional rantings and meanness posing as political discourse. Al does rant, and does get emotional on occasion, but his facts check out and, unlike Rush, he doesn't feel the need to go after someone's kid to make a point.
The book translates well to audio format, and Al's timing and delivery is superb. You don't have to agree with Al to enjoy this book, but you do have to have a sense of humor and a shred of tolerance for ideas that may differ from yours.
"Buy only if you dislike conservatives"
Funny... yes to a liberal. Political... very. Thought provoking...no. Polemical.... definitely. Fair and unbiased...not on your life. I used to be a liberal. Now, I'm not. Take for what it's worth. It will reinforce your dislike of conservatives if you are already biased.
"A bit dated, but more factual than most of genre"
Things I liked about this book:
-Franken had due diligence to ascertaining his facts with a team to help him. This made the book more than a rant against conservatives, and a genuine political commentary.
-With these facts he removed the facade of a lot of conservative voices.
-I also always enjoy when the author reads his/her book.
What I did not like:
-In terms of politics, it is dated. The wounds of 9/11 were still fresh, and much of the dialogue refers back to the Clinton era. Nonetheless, many of the voices he refers to (O'Riley Hannity, Coulter, Fox, Limbaugh) are still quite active.
What I found ironic:
-I think the biggest irony of this book is many of the things he blames on the Bush era seem to be repeating with a Democrat in power. 1. High unemployment 2. Rising debt 3. He faults Bush for blaming the Clinton era for 9/11 and other problems. It seems the current administration blames the Bush era for its current problems.
Because it is eight years old, not sure if I would recommend it to everyone, but it is a fairly short, informative and fun listen.
"Funny, but..."
I've been a Franken fan for years. With this one (although there are many enjoyable parts) the language and irreverance got to me. Suppose one must be a little thick-skinned (and certainly leaning left) to fully appreciate his humor, but I'm not a big fan of vulgar language so I couldn't rank this one any higher than 3 stars.
"Great stuff"
This was my first audio book and I enjoyed every word. I selected it at random during as a trial and found content to be the kind of thing I enjoy - good political satire, but what impressed me most was the style of the reading. As much as I enjoy a good read, the friendly, relaxed narration by the author, and especially the unprinted comments made listening a richer experience - one I enjoyed so much I thought I might make audio books a regular habit - if I can find any more of this quality.
"Humorous though petty"
Apparently, unless you are a devout liberal..you are a liar! Good to know! I was unaware of how many liars we unknowingly confront every day. If you listen to this book and accept it all as fact than you will have no problem taking Michael Moore's work as Pulitzer material. We all know politicians are full of it, but I was unaware before listening to this book that all republican/conservatives were also liars. Al Franken is a very talented comedian, but he should not be so foolish as to think that most concerned citizens searching for sense in a bewildering political environment would look to him as a beacon of common sense.
Not worth your time!
There a very few of us humans who could be honest with themselves and say they have no bias -- unless they have no opinions.
Al is biased towards the left because he believes very strongly in the principals of being liberal. Coulter, O'Reilly, et al. are biased towards the right because they believe very strongly in the principals of being conservative.
This book isn't about bias -- it's about lying.
He is not trashing the right wingers for being biased -- he's trashing specific people because they LIE.
Whether you're a leftie or a rightie or you're a middle of the road extremist, you should try and judge this book for what it is.
A right wing true believer could really find something good in this book if they would just get over the problem that BOTH sides have. There is this incomprehenisble predisposition on both sides of the aisle that everyone on "your side" is good and righteous and the "others" are evil. How dumb is that?
There are honest and dishonest people on both sides. This book talks about some liars on the right side. The data in this book is very easy to validate. He did not make it up. This book tells the truth.
You may or you may not agree with Ann Coulter's opinions. You may or may not disagree with Bill O'Reilly's opinions. But it would be very hard to dispute Franken's claim that these folks lie with regularity to make their points.
Not only is lying wrong - it's also counter-productive because once you are found out it lessens your credibilty and therefore weakens your ability to persuade others that you are right.
Aside from that though this book is informative, accurate and downright hilarious.
This is a truly top-notch audio and I also couldn't agree more that this is the perfect medium for Franken's writing.

Initial plans included corporate lawyers but it is now clear that the first group to move will be a finance team.
The six partners are asset finance specialist Andrew Joyce, leverage finance specialist Jacky Evans, projects specialist Brian Harrison, telecoms specialist Julie Salt and syndicated loans specialists Jonathan Brownson and Simon Roberts.
Up to 20 associates will also move and two more partners will join the team in May, although a decision on those names is yet to be finalised.
Harrison, who led the banking team that advised the banks on Canary Wharf when it went into administration in 1992, said that the six partners represent a microcosm of the banking department.
"The team were selected along product lines and obviously it made sense for me to be included given my connection with Canary Wharf," he said.
The office space in the Citibank tower is temporary and the HQ3 development in Canary Wharf is expected to be completed within 18 months.
When A&O move to HQ3 the team will be revised and expanded.
A&O finalises partner moves
Initial plans included corporate lawyers but it is now clear that the first group to move will be a finance team.

Harry's Birthdays
Some Short Drabbles On Harry's birthdays
"Come on Lilly. You can do it." James Potter said as he stood beside his wife who lay in the hospital bed.
Lilly simply glared, "Would you like to do this? I'm sure I can find a spell that will allow you to do this instead."
"Alright Mrs. Potter, one more big push."
"Congratulations Mrs. Potter you have a healthy baby boy." The baby was laid Lilly's arms while James left the room. He walked through the halls until he reached the waiting room where seven people were waiting for him.
"We have a healthy baby boy. And I think he'd like to meet you." Dorea and Charles Potter, Daisy and Nick Evans, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew all followed James back to the hospital room Lilly and the baby were waiting in.
The two grandmothers were the first to reach the bedside and claim the baby, "Oh he looks just like you did when you were a baby James." Dorea said as she cooed to the baby.
"Yes though he doesn't seem to have James' brown eyes. I hope he ends up with Lilly and my green eyes." Daisy answered.
"Definitely. He would look absolutely darling with big green eyes."
"Okay!" Sirius interrupted the cooing fest and asked, "So what did you name our little Prongslet?"
We'd like to introduce you to Harry James Potter born July 31 at 11:59 pm. And of course you and Remus will be his godfathers."
"And Alice will be his godmother. I only wish she could have been here," Lilly laughed slightly, "but we had been waiting for her when I went into labor."
Harry was soon being passed between his grandparents then his godfathers and finally Peter before being handed back to his parents when he began to yawn.
"Sleep well my darling." Lilly said as she cuddled him close.
There's his first birthday. We'll try to post another one today but if not, we'll see you next year!
Please R&R!

Chapter One
Satin/Silk: So apparently One Night Only was so epic and awesome that people demanded a sequel and I had to give it to them. Because I am that kind of a person and my muse says I am so full of crap…except he used another word. Any who, here that sequel that you wanted and I have NO idea what's going to happen so yay for surprises.
As well as far as Astoria Greengrass is concerned, I have no knowledge of her whatsoever so a lot of this is made up. I had to research who she was because I kind of refuse to read the 7th book but that's another story. This fan fic was inspired by JHoliday's song Suffocate.
As well as I do not own any of the characters presented or implied in this chapter! They all belong to J.K. Rowling. Though there will be some OOCness due to the interpretation that I have to how they would react in this unlikely circumstance.
Summary: "'Cause I can't breathe when you talk to me, I can't breathe when your touching me. I Suffocate when your away from me so much love you take from me .I'm going out of my mind."
Chapter One
She was perfection. She was simply perfection and if he had really looked at her, he would have seen the sparkle of her eyes, the smooth shine to her hair and that smile. If he tried, he could love her and he saw that now. Astoria Greengrass was perfection and it wasn't because she was willing to marry him, it had nothing to do with her background or the fact that she was willing to give him a chance. She was simply perfection and he was in awe of it. Draco Malfoy was hardly in awe or rather he would have thought so before he saw Granger dance on the floor. Since then, he realized that awe came as easily to him as happiness came to others.
And if he had tried earlier, he could have been in awe with her from day one but he hadn't. He was consumed by his grief and by his own tortured mind that he hadn't noticed what she was before. It wasn't just the sparkle of her green eyes or the way her hair was never out of place. Unlike Granger's hair which was always out of place and it didn't matter what she did. A great example would have been that morning when Granger was ready for work. Her hair was no longer the frizzy disaster from school but smooth perfection. Almost perfection with those few strands that refused to obey and adhere to the rules of what must be so. It made Draco smile despite it all.
She made him smile not that Astoria couldn't but smiles hadn't come as naturally with her as they did with Granger. Astoria looked up from the book that she had been reading by the nearby Malfoy Garden Fountain. She was wearing a simple but beautiful and form fitting summer dress. It was formal, expensive but compared to Astoria, it looked like some second rate rag. She looked at him with boundless curiosity, apprehension, and quiet determination. That had been the thing that always drew Astoria to Draco; determination oozed from her every pore. It was a familiar and it made her comfortable for him to be around.
"Drac," Usually the nick name would make Draco flinched.
She only called him that to piss him off and in turn he called her Tori because she felt the same way about it. Astoria was a little taken back by his cool demeanor, his easy going spirit and the smile at his hated nick name. She liked it but hated it. He could bare her no good news and yet somehow she knew it was coming to this. She turned towards him and placed the book on her lap. She allowed room for him to sit and he did so effortlessly. Sometimes she wondered if he was really a god among men or just graceful.
"Tori," She tried not to flinch.
"Did you do what you needed to do," She stared into his eyes even though she hadn't wanted to.
"Yes and no," He stared back.
"Meaning," Her voice was strong and he respected her for it.
He opened his mouth and then closed quickly. His smile was gone and it was replaced with a frown. Astoria bit her lip, an ugly habit that would have made her mother faint, and old Draco would have sneered at it. Instead he grabbed the tip of her jaw and kissed her with such a passion that it frightened her. Despite the intensity of the kiss, there was nothing. She pulled away from him immediately and wondered who was before her. And then she realized something. He didn't smell like him. There was more than his usual scent. There was an undercurrent of a feminine scent beneath it, no tangled with it as it created a new scent that she didn't recognized. So that was it.
"Who is she," She said simply.
She was unsure if she was upset or just jealous that someone got that close to him.
The music still pounded in his head and he was sort of grateful for it. It made it easier to forget what she said. Although it was impossible to forget what his soul mate had said to him. The loud noise didn't erase what he felt when she left him and grabbed someone else. He closed his eyes tightly as he tried to ignore the feeling of them together. If that image wasn't bad enough, he couldn't help but admit to himself that they looked perfect together. They were perfection in the form of grinds. How ridiculous was that? How bloody insane was that he was happy in a sick sort of way.
And yet, he was miserable because he lost her and all because he hadn't shown up that first night. She explained it all in an owl to him. He had been so upset that he hardly could stand to read the whole thing but he did. And to think Malfoy had sent him that owl only to steal his girl from him in front of him! The audac-…the audaci….the bastard! Merlin, he couldn't make sentence now but that probably had more to do with the smooth burning sensation going down his throat.
How did this happen? You don't just hook up with a stranger or rather someone you hated your whole academic life or did you? He shook his head, and turned to see something that he could call perfection. It was another club but different. He didn't understand why he would come to another one of these but he had. Maybe he had thought that he could find clarity if he was in one. Maybe he could find perfection with someone or Hermione would change their mind and they could be perfection. He had doubted the thought before but now, he couldn't dare to think it.
She was perfection. Her dark hair and glowing eyes called to him. She wasn't Hermione, she didn't move like Hermione but Merlin knew she had a dark seduction of her own. Like a moth to her flame, he went to her. She was slower, her movements were dirtier and god if there could be one person to embodied sex, it would be her. She made him hard with a single thrust of the hip. It should be illegal, was this how Malfoy felt. In all honesty, he didn't give a damn. His mug shattered on the ground somewhere and he heard the outrage but he had to touch her. And he did, he touched and she let him. And he fit unlike with Hermione; he fit her with a woman that he didn't know. He couldn't see her face but he didn't know if he wanted to. He couldn't breathe; it was like he was suffocating.
The day had been longer than Hermione had anticipated and when it came time to go home, she was a bundle of nerves. Was he coming back? She didn't know honestly. They hadn't spoken that morning at all. No words were exchanged; he smiled at her and then smirked. The look made her weak with need. Merlin, who could he do that with such a thing. The expressions haunted her the whole day and made her spill her coffee. Then she called someone the wrong name and she had to rewrite her letter to Ron five times because she couldn't spell. The man was a disaster but she had decided to try.
Her flat was empty and her heart sunk. What had she been thinking? Had she honestly thought he would be there when she got back? She shook her head and she was unsure what she was suppose to think. She put her things down and grabbed her iPod. It had been a present from Harry and Ron. The mere thought of Ron made her smile but want to weep at the same time. She ignored the thought; she pushed the thought away as she put on the first song that she could find. The beat overtook her and she ignored how silly she felt in her work clothes.
Instead, she closed her eyes and it surrounded her. Her body only needed a moment and she was engulfed. The sways of her body were slow at first and until things picked up and she moved with such accuracy. Her body was no longer hers but the music as it demanded her to move that way. She focused on the music and nothing else. And then there was that moment that she could always count on. He found her.
His hands were on her hips and his body so perfectly molded with her own. She smiled to herself and took one of her earphones and put it in his ear. Even though, it didn't seemed to matter; his body was naturally in tuned to hers and it didn't matter what she did. Somehow his body would be right there catching up with every note that she danced to. She was never too fast for him, they were of the same world and it delighted her. He was hers and the thought put over the moon.
They swayed and she swooned at the thought of being his. When the song was over, they stopped than they didn't want to. His hands were all over her body, her fingers in his hair and her hand over one of his. His breath was hot, heavy and sweet. The mere feel of it sent earthquakes up and down her spine. Merlin, what was it about this man? They stayed like that for what seemed like hours. Her own breath eventually slowed like she could fall asleep like that. And a part of her knew that she probably could but now wasn't that time for it. She pulled away and she could have swore that she heard him whimper.
She turned to look into his eyes that she hated for so long. There was a look in his eyes that she couldn't describe. He hadn't wanted to let go of that movement. They weren't in the club anymore. They were in her flat and they had to deal with this.
"Did you-" He nodded before she could finish the sentence.
"And you?" She nodded as well.
"Malfoy, I …" She what?
"Granger, don't get soft on me, alright. I have had enough of female frailty for one day." She couldn't help the glare that she produced.
"Frailty," Maybe that hadn't been the right word.
"You can't expect me to know what words are coming to offend you," And yet she did.
"Really, because I remember the beaver comment and that certain one word you threw around like it was hello or perhaps a boomerang,"
He gritted his teeth. What could he say to that beside nasty things? Did she want an apology for that?
She shouldn't.
He wasn't going to. Couldn't they accept that was in the past and things were different now or were they? Maybe this couldn't work. She grasp silently to herself as if she could read his thoughts. What had she been thinking, this couldn't work. They were insane; their hatred was bound to arise when the music ended. It was their nature and it was their way.
Without words between them, Malfoy turned away and started for an exit. Hermione turned around, trying to compose herself. She had made a mistake and that was all it was. She was entitled to do that every once in a while was she not? And then suddenly, he grabbed her, twisted her around, threw her body into his and slammed his lips onto hers. There it was that spark, that energy that made her wants to die in his arms. She was flashed to that first moment and she didn't want to let go. She wanted him as hers.
He pulled back, feeling what he had missed when he kissed Astoria. He couldn't go back. He had just proven that this was as good as he was ever going to get. Astoria was perfection but Granger was his deadly siren drug. He couldn't miss a dose of that and perfection could come about with proper application. He looked at her.
"I am willing to try," It was all either one of them could say.
The word seemed to echo in their heads as they just stared at the other. There was no going back now but how were they suppose to try?
Satin/Silk: *fans herself* I don't know about you but wow. I thought Weasley deserved some closure and he and his mystery lady might pop up every now and then as will Astoria. As for Dramione, can they really try? I have no idea but let's see shall we? Listen to OMG by Usher while reading.

First of all.. the loan that you aquired is NOT through Roadmaster Drivers School. There are five separate financial agencies that we WORK with that offer financing. Your loan goes straight through them and WE are paid by THEM.
Roadmaster does not recover money for tuition. As for anyone going after your sign on bonus from an employer, no financial agency can do that with out your written consent, or without you being in some type of a collection situation.
The agreement that you signed with the loan company allowed for your carrier to send to the lender a designated amount of money out of each of your checks. No more no less. That's normally about $150 a check. The only possibility that you had more taken was due to some sort of legal garnishment.

UG's angry activist
Join date: Oct 200780 IQ
So I just bought an Ibanez SG style body and noticed that there aren't too many new RG Wizard II or Wizard III necks floating around on the internet for sale, However I noticed that there's a CRAP TON of tele necks and strat necks. I was wondering if I could fit one of those bad boys on my SG? I heard that the only thing that matters is scale length, which an Ibanez SG should be 25.5" am I right?
No. Scale length is important but the neck pocket dimensions and to a lesser extent the screw holes are also critical. You'll need to find the specs for your body's neck pocket and see if they match the neck you want to get. You can probably find one that does fit, especially if you're lucky and it's a standard Fender or Squier size pocket, but you can't just buy a 25.5" neck and know it will work.

Is it normal to still be in a lot of pain 10 months after lipo to arms. Hurts to lift arms or pickup things lipo Is this normal?
Doctor Answers 4
Liposuction - still having pain ten months later
Thank you for asking about your arm liposuction.
- I am so sorry you have this problem after your arm liposuction.
- Your surgeon knows what was done and you need to return to see her/him for an evaluation of your pain.
- It is definitely not normal.
- Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes - Elizabeth Morgan MD PHD FACS
Pain after 10 months of lipo
Thank you for your question. It is very unusual to have pain at this stage. I recommend yppu to see your surgeon for evaluation. It may or may not related to the procedure.

The pain may not be related to your procedure. That being said, nerves are effected during liposuction which can cause pain, but after a period of healing, pain dissipates. I recommend contacting your Dr. to follow up. Best, Dr. Emer

It is not normal to experience pain at this level 10 months after liposuction. This pain may or may not be related to the liposuction. I would first see your PS to see what they think. If they feel it is not related to your liposuction, they may be able to guide you in the right direction as all of us had hand training during residency.

Air pollution is set to reach the maximum level in parts of the country today following a powerful dust storm in the Sahara.
Forecasters warned that one of the year's worst smogs would worsen on Wednesday, with air pollution reaching the maximum "very high" level in many parts of southern Britain.
Millions of at-risk people along England's southern coast and Wales should stay indoors if they experience discomfort such as sore eyes or throat, experts warned.
We want to hear from people affected by the smog on a day when much of the country is affected by an unusually high level of air pollution. Whether it's a picture of the smog in your area or a story about how it may be affecting your health, you can contribute via GuardianWitness. We will use some of your submissions in our coverage.

I am using Gerald Garth Johnson's excellent book that has up-to-date historical research on this family -- The Biography and Genealogy of Captain John Johnson (Heritage Books, 2000).
John Johnson's children should not be a source of confusion. In the list of passengers arriving on the Arbella in 1630 were:
John Johnson, about age 40
Margery Johnson, 2nd wife, about 35 - 40
Children of Mary Heath, 1st wife and John Johnson:
Mary, daughter 16 years of age
Issac, son, 15 years of age
Elizabeth, daughter, 11 years of age
Humphrey, son, 10 years of age
Sarah, daughter, 5 years of age
Hannah, daughter, 3 years of age
John Johnson and Mary Heath had four additional children who were baptized and died and were buried in England. The church records support this. They were:
John (1618 - 1627) THERE WAS NO SON OF CAPTAIN JOHN JOHNSON LIVING NAMED JOHN WHO CAME TO AMERICA. THE HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS DO NOT SUPPORT A SON, JOHN JOHNSON.
Joseph (born and died in 1622)
Susan (1623 - 1629)
Joseph (born and died in 1627) Yes, it was a custom to name subsequent children after children who died in infancy and yes, Captain John Johnson and Mary Heath had two sons named Joseph, neither of which lived past infancy and who were buried in England.

The Parish of Godalming
Where All Are Welcome
You are warmly welcomed to the Parish of Godalming. Christian prayer and worship has been celebrated here for over 1,000 years. Today we continue that tradition by offering a place of encounter with God with worship at its centre.
Being open to God's love is at the heart of our understanding of faith. We aim to be an inclusive community that welcomes everyone on their journey and respects free thinking.
We have two churches in the parish, very different from one another but set within the heart of the communities we serve:
Saint Peter and St Paul's Church is in the centre of our beautiful town at the end of medieval Church Street. Overlooking the Lammas lands, the River Wey and the memorial park it is arguably one of the most attractive churches in the South East and is a popular venue for weddings and town celebrations. Though an ancient building dating back to the 9th century it is a living place for praise, prayer and reflection. If you would like to visit the church, please contact the Parish Office for details of when it will be open. GU7 1ER
St Mark's Church is a thriving community that serves the areas of Ockford Ridge, Aaron's Hill and Primrose Hill. It is both a church and community centre and offers a modern, comfortable and flexible space for worship, fellowship and fun.
Our two churches offer a variety of Sunday worship styles so whether you appreciate choral evensong or enjoy cafe church we believe we have something for you. Whichever service you chose you will receive a warm welcome. We look forward to meeting you.
The notice sheet has information about events in the parish. Find it on this page.
We are very pleased to announce that a new Rector has been appointed for our Parish. The person appointed is the Reverend Jane Vlach who is currently the vicar at All Saints Church in our neighbouring Parish of Witley. Jane was ordained in 2011 and prior to moving to Witley she was at Holy Trinity Church, Guildford.
We cannot say at the moment when Jane will take up her ministry here in Godalming but we hope it will be sometime around September. We look forward to welcoming Jane to Godalming.
In the meantime our prayers are with Jane as she begins to prepare for her move to Godalming. Also we give thanks and prayers to the parishioners and PCC of All Saints Witley as they begin their quest for a replacement for Jane.
We would like to thank our parishioners and PCC for their long and continuing support during the interregnum. With special thanks to Sarah, our Administrator for her hard work on behalf of us all.
Willian Bryans and Eddie Powlesland (Churchwardens).

Ninewells Hospital and Medical School Dundee, Scotland

We read with interest the recent study by Fish et al (August 2001)1 showing that adding salmeterol to inhaled corticosteroid achieved superior control as compared to adding montelukast. However it is likely that the results were biased toward the long-acting β2-agonist as patients were required as an inclusion criteria to have at least 12% increase in FEV1 in response to albuterol. It is therefore perhaps not surprising that for the primary end point of morning peak expiratory flow (PEF), salmeterol exhibited significantly greater bronchodilator efficacy as compared to montelukast. It is also worth noting that both treatments significantly improved the primary outcome variable compared to baseline, and that even allowing for the biased inclusion criteria, there was only a 13 L/min mean difference in morning PEF. One has to question the clinical relevance of this mean difference of 13 L/min, given that the mean baseline value was 370 L/min, and that most PEF meters are calibrated to the nearest 10 L/min.
This study provides no information on other relevant clinical efficacy markers, such as protection against bronchoconstrictor stimuli in the presence of increased bronchomotor tone, using bronchial challenge techniques. For example, studies comparing salmeterol and montelukast as add-on therapy have demonstrated greater and more sustained protection against adenosine monophosphate or exercise challenge.2–3 Moreover, the addition of a leukotriene antagonist to concomitant inhaled corticosteroid therapy confers additive anti-inflammatory effects that are not seen with long-acting β2-agonists.,3–9

No More Pluggin In Hot Water Heaters
Book by: Alan Panczyk
Status: Finished
Genre: Memoir
Chapter1 (v.1) - No More Pluggin In Hot Water Heaters
Have you ever felt like you were in the fight of your life? Not a physical fight but one of the past? I have battled the past every day of my life and I have learned that you have to dig your heels in every day or it will get the best of you. I have never understood why me? I mean what did I ever do as a young boy to get the shit kicked out of me? Beaten with belts to the point I had welts on me for days, the whippings drew blood. Thrown down stairs, slapped, and the all famous "we will have a three legged race to the hospital so the doctors can get my foot out of your ass". For some strange reason he liked to kick all of the children on the butt as hard as he could. To this day I believe that's why I have had so many back problems. I was called names all of my life and got to the point where I believed what I was told. Asshole, dummy, stupid, worthless, I would never grow up to be anything, those are just some of the nice things I have been told. It got me to a point in my life at such a young age where I just didn't give a fuck anymore. I have spent more time in pastor's offices, counselor sessions, and psychiatrist's couches than I care to remember. I have wanted to be dead more days than I have wanted to be alive .I have cried more tears of sadness than happiness .Walked around with no feelings inside , like a shell of a person. I mean what was the point what did I have to look forward to; I have always felt like I have had not only a black cloud hanging over me but a hurricane. I never knew how much parent's actions affected children till later on in my life. Not only me but the rest of my family, not only mentally but the anger, bitterness, hatred, and low self esteem would creep out of each of us in our own special way. Whether it was through drugs, alcohol, domestic abuse, suicide attempts, trouble with police, no one in the family escaped. If you looked at my family from the outside you probably would have said I was lucky to live in a big house in a nice neighborhood. My parents owned a manufacturing company and seemed to have everything in life. On the surface things might have looked great, but you don't know how dysfunctional my family really is. This my sound odd but I feel the only thing I was good for was getting broken buckets or rags or chains off the expressway. While my father would be driving down the highway and he would see something on the side of the road, he would slam on the brakes almost causing an accident because he would see something that was on the side of the road that someone had dropped or thrown out, or fell off someone's car. He would tell one of his children to run back and get what he had seen, the only problem with that is he wasn't getting out, one of us had to. By the time he stopped the car he was a good hundred yards, down the road. We all were almost getting hit by cars on the highway doing seventy miles an hour, they would honk at us. It was like a dodge game with real cars, all for a lousy fifty cent piece of junk that was treated by my father like hitting the lottery. As a young boy I knew things were not right at home. As far back as I can remember my parents only did three things, argued and fought all the time, put on like things were perfect, or didn't talk to each other. But no matter how bad things were at home, in front of anybody else we had to act like the all American family. I would get really mad when I was young when people use to say "Oh you have such a nice family" I wanted to come back and say "If you like them so much you live with them you asshole". I hated it then and I hate it today "The game" As I was growing up there was never any emotions shown, it was like emotions never existed. Never a hug or kiss, never even a Merry Christmas, or even when you did well at school or some other accomplishment never told "Good job". My father was always the type of person it had to be done his way or else. My fathers Aunt put it the best way, she told me later on in life before she passed away " Your father was a spoiled little brat that needed to be put over somebody's knee" My father would fly off the handle at any little thing, it was like all of us had to walk on eggshells. One night when was I was very young I was sick; I had a bad chest infection and a temperature. I was up coughing and my father came into my room screaming and yelling at me because and beat the crap out of me because I was keeping him up and he couldn't get any sleep. My mother always tried to make up for everything, I mean my father would beat the shit out of you and my mother would take you out for ice cream. It wasn't till years later I would find out the truth about my mother and fathers relationship. One of the experiences I will never forget is the time the whole family went out for lunch. I was about seven years old, and we were at a restaurant and after I ordered I went to the bathroom. I must have been too long in the bathroom because when I came back everyone was gone; I ran all around the restaurant and couldn't find anyone. I went outside and the car was gone, I was screaming and crying I don't remember how long it was but they came back and got me. All of this because I didn't eat my lunch fast enough, I was later told by one of my brothers that they were all told to get into the car and shut there mouths. My mother was screaming at him while they were driving off and when they got down the road she made him turn around. It wasn't just me he treated like this it was all of us; I have two older brothers, two younger brothers and a sister who is the youngest. My father loved to play each of us children against each other; he seemed to really enjoy us hurting each other. One day all of us children were in the car while my mother was in the grocery store, I had some candy and one of my other brothers wanted some and I wouldn't share it and we got into an argument. My father turned around from the driver's seat and told me to punch my brother in the face; the dumb thing is I did it. My father looked at me and smiled, it was almost like I got his approval. He got more excitement from it than I did, I was terrified and I quietly told my brother I was sorry and gave him the candy. I never hit one of my brothers or sister after that; it still makes me sad to this day I ever did that. As time went on my brothers and I grew apart, like a wedge was between us. As things in the family got worse as time went on I started drinking and smoking, I was around twelve years old. I never had to look very far for liquor, it was always in the house and I could get it whenever I wanted. It consumed me at an early age and as time would go on I drank more and more. When that didn't satisfy me I found drugs, most of the time I was riding around on a bicycle drunk looking for drugs. I would spend more and more time away from home, I would find any excuse to stay out late or find a friends house to spend the night. When I went home it meant going home to parents screaming at each other, or trouble for me. I did enjoy the times my grandparents came over to the house, my mother's parents. They always made me feel special, and made a big deal of me. I liked my grandpa because he would always pull quarters out of my ear (well I was young and I really believed it) and my grandmother always had a kind word and a hug from her heart. My father's parents I never really knew all that well, they owned the manufacturing business till my father's dad passed away and my parents inherited it. My father's parents were very cold; strictly business my father's mother would always tell us she didn't like children. When she was around she expected you to sit up and shut up, don't speak unless you were spoken to. My grandfather wouldn't really say much to you if you were lucky he might say something to you. My fathers parents were not the type of grandparents you would jump up in there lap because you were happy to see them, if you did that they probably would have pushed you off and told you to get away. There was definitely a big difference when it came to holidays with grandparents, my fathers parents always gave me twenty silver dollars taped to a piece of cardboard. My mother's parents always gave gifts from the auctions they would go to. I am not saying the twenty dollars wasn't appreciated but the gifts from the auction were a lot nicer to me always because they came from the heart. My mother's parents were never to busy for any of the children, when we would go and visit them at there home they would always make us feel welcome and make a big deal over all of us. I was only at my father's parents home once that I can remember, I was only allowed to come in the front door and I had to stand on a rug, they didn't want you there and never really acknowledge me. I wouldn't learn till many years later what kind of parents my father had. In my opinion my father's parents had children because it was the thing to do. My father at a young age was shipped off to military school, and when vacation or summers would come they would send him off to live with an uncle on a farm where my grandmother grew up. My father had a sister and she too went off to school and was sent off to live with aunts on another farm on holidays and summers. They both never got along as children and adults; they both thought one was getting more than the other. They both were spoiled children getting everything they wanted, and as adults they both got houses and cars and vacations. But the one thing neither of them got was a loving home; they both were sold out for money. My grandparents loved money and the power it gave them, and if you didn't have money or measure up in there eyes you were a loser. My grandparents owned a successful manufacturing company that my grandfather had started. I and my older brothers would have to go there every weekend and clean up the shop, Picking up trash and cutting grass, it wasn't like we wanted to go we had to. I only remember being in my grandparents home one time, I was allowed to just come into the entrance door and had to stand on a little piece of carpeting, they didn't want you to speak only stand there . You were not allowed to leave the carpeting piece and they meant it, the one thing that my grandparents taught my father is that most people were beneath them. I was taught at an early age to hate everyone, it wouldn't be till years later that I would find out how wrong they were. Holidays at my home growing up was just a plain embarrassment, it was like feeding time at the zoo. You would think holidays were a time for fun and family, but it was just the opposite, you had to eat everything on your plate whether you like it or not. If you didn't you would have to sit there till it was all gone, But I ended up getting the last laugh, when there was food I didn't like I would get my napkin roll the food up in it and hide it underneath the table. When my mother had company over she had to put the extensions in the table, there was a perfect hiding place under the table that no one ever knew about. You could feel the tension at the table; my father's parents would not waste a thing. As they were eating it reminded me of cows, they would finish there food and clean there plates by licking them. I mean pick them up and lick them clean, they would even get there spoons and scrape the bowls of the food till there wasn't any food left. My mothers parents just looked in amazement, I know they were embarrassed but they never said a thing. I asked my mother why they did that, she told me that they grew up in the depression. Depression or not that shit was sick, I don't like to waste things either but that is too extreme for me. I will never forget the day I found out that my fathers dad had passed away, I came down to the breakfast table and my other brothers had come down right after me. My father was sitting at the table, he said to me with no emotions "Could you get me the milk out of the refrigerator, oh and by the way grandpa died last night "and off to school I went. I remember asking my seventh grade teacher that morning about someone dying, and when I told her what happened she just looked at me. I don't think she knew what to say to me, she looked at me like I was a space alien. I never felt bad or missed the man, I never really knew him. After he passed away the company was divided between my father and his sister, and the war was on. Neither one of them could stand each other, My aunt was married and had children but I only saw them a very few times and when I did I didn't have anything to talk to them about. Before my grandfather passed away he started another manufacturing company, it to became successful and for reasons I don't know was moved down south to Alabama. If things were not bizarre enough after my grandfather passed away my father became more out of control, I think it was because his dad was not there to hold him back or keep an eye on him. Plus my father never put the time into work to learn the company, I mean why should he his parents paid him well and paid all of his bills. He could buy whatever he wanted and however much he wanted a nothing ever got said about it, he always charged it to the company. When he was gone to the factory the house was a pretty fun place, my mother would laugh and have fun with the children. It was like a totally different place, but when everyone heard the garage door opening up we all ran and hid in the house so he wouldn't find us. I never missed him when he was gone and when he was there I wanted him to leave. I knew at a young age he didn't like me, and I certainly didn't care for him. But in a weird way it wasn't what I wanted, I never understood why my family never got along. Why couldn't we laugh, go and do things together as a family, without something happening to ruin it. It seemed that all the other people I knew had happy families; I just wanted everyone to like each other. I was the scapegoat of the family I would get blamed for everything that went wrong. I would get blamed and the shit kicked out of me if something got broke, or missing even if it was in another state. I was sick and tired of the way things were at home and I wasn't going to stick around anymore, I knew the only way for me was to leave home. I was thirteen years old and I packed myself a bag and crawled out my bedroom window in the middle of the night. It was November in Chicago and it was freezing, but I didn't care. I ran as far as I could I didn't know where I was going, I just ran. I was so tired but I kept on, I didn't have any money in my pocket and nothing to eat. I ended up lying down for the night under some tall evergreen trees, I had a heavy Army jacket on and it kept me pretty warm. The next morning I got up but realizes I had no where to go, the only place I knew of was a bowling alley that was open early so I could get out of the cold. I hung around there for most of the day, till someone asked me why I wasn't in school. I got scared and left, I just walked around till it got dark. With nowhere to go I went back underneath the evergreen tree, I stayed up all night I was hungry and scared. The next day was a Saturday, while I was walking around I ran into a couple of friends I knew from High school. I told them what happened and they brought me to there home and gave me something to eat. He told his mom I was a friend of his and I was going to stay the night. I was never so thankful for a warm place to sleep, his mother must have overheard us talking because she wanted to talk to me and asked me what was going on and wanted to know if I was in trouble. I ended up telling her what was going on and she told me I could stay at her house till I figured out what I was going to do. I stayed there for a couple of weeks. I would leave the house during the day but could come back at night. I never went back by my house or ever called, I really didn't want to go back. I was enjoying my freedom, finding out who I was instead of being told who I was. While I was out walking around one day I went back to the bowling alley to hang out, someone must have recognized me or just wondered what I was doing there because the next thing I knew the police were over there wanting to know what I was doing and why I wasn't in school. Bu I didn't budge I wouldn't give them my name or tell them where I lived. After not telling him anything for a while the policeman ended up bringing me down to the police station, I ended up talking with the juvenile officer, I told them nothing I knew, if I did I would have to go back home and I didn't want that. He ended up scaring the crap out of me, he took me down to the jail that was underneath the police station and told me if I didn't tell him what he wanted to know he was going to throw me in jail. That's all it took because I cracked, I told him my name, rank and serial number. It wasn't long before I heard my mothers voice I knew that shit was going to hit the fan, I could hear her talking with the juvenile officer, and when I walked in I didn't know what to expect. My mother told her side of the story and then I got to tell mine, she didn't disagree with me but she wanted me to come home and I wasn't going. As my mother talked with the juvenile officer I noticed that she was kind of telling the truth, she didn't exactly tell the whole story exactly as it happened she tried to pad over the really bad stuff. I could tell she was trying to protect my father, I could not believe it here is my mother trying to cover up for my father. I was really mad at her for not standing up for me, here was my chance to tell how I felt and I didn't feel I was getting a fair shake . I told them that if they made me go home I was just going to leave again. So the juvenile officer ended up bringing me to a foster home, and I was suppose to go to school and then back three times a week to the police station for counseling. I ended up staying in foster care for a couple of months, I really enjoyed staying there. I was at the home of an older couple; they took me to school everyday and picked me up. I got to really know them and I was able to talk to them and they made me feel welcome, I never got the feeling they looked down on me or judged me in any way. I had a good experience at the foster home and think of them at different times in my life. The days I had to go to the police station they would take me and the juvenile officer would bring me back to there home and on the way we would stop and get something to eat. We got a chance to really get to know each other, I have to say he was really good at his job and I had someone I could really talk to. One of our last counseling sessions my mother was there, my father never showed up to any of them. The juvenile officer's name was Tom, while he was talking to my mother he mentioned that the police station was starting a cadet program and if it was ok I could join. I really got to learn a lot about my mother through the counseling at the police station,

Partners Wanted -- Cal 35 -- Annapolis
We have a very successful ten year partnership on a 1983 Cal 35, docked in MillCreek, off Whitehall Bay, in Annapolis, just minutes from the city dock. Looking for additional qualified and compatible partners to replace some that are moving on. A lifetime partnership share is $2500 plus shared annual expenses which are currently running about $800 per partner. You can find a pretty good description of a similarly outfitted CAL 35 at "www.calyachts.org/boatmart/cal35.html". Nice boat, great location. Will be happy to take you for a test sail. Bill Kidd
Partners Wanted -- Cal 35 -- Annapolis
I would like to send your message along to a very good and qualified candidate but need your email/phone number. If you like to send it offline, my email address is email@example.com Best regards, Jack
Partners Wanted -- Cal 35 -- Annapolis
How many days usage does a share constitute? Can you provide a nutshell answer as to how usage is divided up... how many other owners are there?
Sounds very attractive.
Partners Wanted -- Cal 35 -- Annapolis
Right now we have a total of six partners. We put out an annual calendar which divides the season into Sunday through Tuesday''s and Wednesday through Saturday''s, which means that each partner gets the boat every three weeks for three or four days. We swap off when we are not using on any particular day. Several of the partners do not sail that much. It is available most weekdays.I usually sail it during the week and go out most weeks.

What I was mainly saying is that, first off, is Heatley has almost negative trade value. No way in hell is Heatley in the same conversation as Vanek.
Secondly, to get a player of Vanek's caliber, you're looking at something like Coyle+++, which would be probably another good prospect, probably our first round draft pick, and probably a decent roster player somewhere around Seto's caliber.
It just would not be worth it. We're not in a win now and he would be the final piece, and trading for him would set us back a lot in our team development.
I would rather us buy out Heatley this summer and target a high end UFA like Perry.
That is simular to the reasoning of why we did not trade Sheppard, Gillies, Thelen, Fiala, Voloshenko, O'Sullivan, Cuma, or the corresponding pick. We were set for the future. Instead they did not turn out, Gabby unhappy left and we re-roll.
Proven players IMO have more value than what ifs.
Vanek just came to me,
Moulson in NYI is cheap, solid and is old enough were a Zucker or Coyle would be a simular player if they turn out. Youth to turn out with Tavares.

- 1 pound Swiss chard, stems removed, leaves washed and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Fresh-ground black pepper
- 4 pork chops, about 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds in all)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 2 ounces grated fontina (about 1/2 cup)
Heat the oven to 450°. Oil a 7 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, toss the Swiss chard with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Put the chard in the baking dish.
Rub the pork chops with 1 tablespoon of the oil, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Put the pork chops on top of the Swiss chard. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon oil over the chard, around the pork chops. Sprinkle the Parmesan and fontina over the chard, around the chops. Bake until the chops are just done, about 18 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

The DAV-F200 comes equipped with the obligatory virtual surround mode, S-Force Front Surround, while inside the powered subwoofer the S-Master digital amplifier generates a mighty 405W of audio power (135W per channel). Other audio features include a range of decoding modes, including 2ch Stereo, Wide Stage, and Portable Audio which enhances the sound when playing back MP3s via USB or DMPORT.
It's also pleasing to see that the DAV-F200 plays DivX files from DVD or CD, and supplies a registration code for video-on-demand content bought online. And, if the idea of having more than one remote chills you to your very core, then you'll be thrilled to hear that BRAVIA Sync lets you control a Sony TV and this system using one remote.
With so few components involved, setting up the system is a piece of cake. The main unit connects to the subwoofer using a single cable, while the speakers also connect to sturdy plug terminals on the underside of the sub. The main unit also features a useful cable tidy system to maintain the minimal aesthetic.
Power up the unit and you're greeted by a stylish Sony splashscreen. Hit Display and it presents a choice of Quick and Custom setup menus, the former detailing only the key tweaks while the latter lets you configure the whole shebang. You can set the HDMI resolution to Auto (which will select 1080p output if your TV supports it) or force it to output in 1080i, 720p or 576p, and unusually you can select whether JPEGs are displayed in SD or HD. With only three speakers to worry about, the audio setup options are sparse, only allowing you to set the levels of each speaker from -6dB up to +6dB, but the fact that you can't set them as the disc is playing means there's an element of guesswork involved.
On the whole the unit's operating system is superb - speedy, logically laid out and easy on the eye. The remote is also intelligently designed, although it's on the large side and crammed with buttons, plus the multiple 'Menu' keys get a little misleading when trying to locate the setup screen.
As for its audio performance, Sony says that the DAV-F200 has been tuned by the same team behind its high-end AV receivers, so we were expecting great things from this compact system, and it does not disappoint. To test its mettle, we slipped the quintessential Arnie action-fest Predator into the disc slot, selected the awesome DTS track and were immediately pinned in our seat by the sheer power produced by the impressive S-Master amp.
HD format war is over. I liked this DAV system from the first sight, but lucks Blu-ray support. Slow reaction/respond from SONY...
Yes but there's a still a huge market for DVD players and systems - Blu-ray is miniscule in comparison. Most people have big DVD collections and the F200's 1080p upscaling helps people make the most of them. I imagine Sony will continue making DVD systems for years to come. But in any case, if you want a Blu-ray system, then Sony has launched one (the HTP-BD2RSF).
What are the actual dimensions of the sub-woofer? I cant find these details anywhere...
After a bit of research and your review, I purchased the Sony DAVF200. No buyers' remorse here. I replaced my space hogging, 5.1 LG LH-W760IA, which just turned three years old. What really sold me on the Sony was the the S-Master Digital Amplifier. A couple of years ago I bought a Sony CMT-CPZ2 micro system stereo powered by the S-Master@2X75 watts, simply excellent sound. The DAVF200@405 watts is even better. Playing A DVD, Listening to FM or a CD is pleasing both to the eye and ear. The LG system was good, but not in any way better, in playing a DVD, But it's purported 700 watts, couldn't hold a candle to the Sony DAVF200 when it came to listening to a CD, FM radio or The television. There is simply no comparison to the depth and clarity of sound.
No, I no longer have 5.1 sounds behind my head(only a hint of 5.1), but the trade off, at least for me, is totally in my favour. Watching a DVD is crystal clear, with great sound and listening to a CD or FM is once again enjoyable.
Negligible drawbacks I had to adjust to, were adjusting my TV bank to compensate for the vertical height of the main panel and the CD,DVD ejector being on the right side of the unit. Also, I gave up trying to gather in the wires and cable in the back of the unit and securing them with the ties and bracket.
All in all, an incredibly good system at an affordable price. through the years I've found that rarely can you go wrong with Sony products. No, I don't work for them. In apology to LG, while my LG 5.1 looked good but performed poorly, my LG 42" LCD Looks good and performs wonderfully.
In closing, I'd like to thank you folks, at Trusted Reviews for helping me, in making a sensible and non-regrettable purchase.
You asked for sub-woofer measure Amit.
They are 200 x 640 x 640 mm (aproks.).
I see that everyone is delighted with the system; from my experience it significantly lacks in power (bas especially) and sound details. I have to say that after reading your opinions I am beginning to think mine should be taken to the dealer to see if everything is OK with it.

Landlord tenant law concerns landlord and tenants' rights and responsibilities. Because the apartment you rent is your own personal space, the law places many limits on landlords' activities. For example, if a landlord tries to make you move without giving you enough notice, or ignores a rat infestation in your apartment, a landlord / tenant lawyer knows what options you have as a tenant. On the other hand, a landlord / tenant lawyer also helps landlords who have tenants breaking rules, such as moving out three months early or refusing to pay rent. Tenant eviction laws are very specific, with different rules in each city. If you are being evicted or if you have a tenant you want to evict, you may benefit from the services of a landlord / tenant lawyer.

Bladder Regeneration Discovered In Mammal Model
In PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed, online publication, the scientists characterize this unique model of bladder regeneration with the goal of applying what they learn to human patients.
"A better understanding of the regenerative process at the molecular and cellular level is a key to more rapid progress in applying regenerative medicine to help patients," said George Christ, Ph.D., senior researcher and professor of regenerative medicine at Wake Forest Baptist.
In a previous study by Christ's team, research in rats showed that when about 75 percent of the animals' bladders were removed, they were able to regenerate a complete functional bladder within eight weeks. The current study focused on how the regeneration occurs.
"There is very little data on the mechanisms involved in organ regeneration in mammals," said Christ. "To our knowledge, bladder regeneration holds a unique position - there is no other mammalian organ capable of this type of regeneration."
The ability of the liver to grow in size when lobes are removed is sometimes referred to as regeneration, but this is a misnomer, said co-author Bryon Petersen, Ph.D., who was a professor of regenerative medicine at Wake Forest Baptist during the period the research occurred. Instead, through a proliferation of cells, the remaining tissue grows to compensate for the lost size. In contrast, the hallmark of true regeneration is following nature's "pattern" to exactly duplicate size, form and function, Petersen said.
"If we can understand the bladder's regenerative process, the hope is that we can prompt the regeneration of other organs and tissues where structure is important - from the intestine and spinal cord to the heart," said Petersen.
The current study showed that the animals' bodies responded to the bladder removal by increasing the rate at which certain cells divided and grew. The most notable proliferative response occurred initially in the urothelium, the layer of tissue that lines the bladder.
As the proliferative activity in the bladder lining waned, it continued elsewhere: in the fibrous band (lamina propria) that separates the bladder lining from the bladder muscles and in the bladder muscle itself.
The researchers have several theories about how the process works, said Christ. One possibility is that cells in the bladder lining transition and become a type of stem cell that can proliferate throughout the bladder. Other theories are that cells in the bladder lining signal other cells to replicate and that injury prompts stem cells to arrive through the blood stream to repair the bladder damage.
In future studies, the scientists will work to identify the exact regenerative process and will expand the work into mice. The ability to breed mice that lack specific genes will enable the team to explore how genes and proteins may affect the regenerative process and possibly help identify therapies to prompt regeneration.
The research was supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases under award number R21DK081832.
Co-researchers were Charles C. Peyton, M.D., lead author, David Burmeister, Ph.D., and Karl-Erik Andersson, M.D., Ph.D., of Wake Forest Baptist. Peterson is now at the University of Florida and an adjunct professor at Wake Forest Baptist.

Under the threat of a "Katrina moment"--appearing to be aloof and disengaged during a crisis– President Obama has rejected a visit to the southern border during his fund raising trip to Texas, but quickly set up a border "roundtable" discussion while in Dallas. Texas Governor Rick Perry has been invited to the hastily arranged roundtable as an alternative to Perry's invitation to take the President to the border to see the immigration crisis first hand.
This comes as the White House tries to clean up the mess created by DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, when he couldn't answer the simple question, "will these underage illegals be staying in the U.S. or sent home?" during his Sunday interview on Meet The Press.
Countering the appearance that the administration's waffling on deportations might serve as an invitation to even more children being sent north by parents in Central America, the White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the kids will be sent home.
That was the zig and the zag of the last two days. Today another zig, as the White House said the President is going to hold off on deportation of the underage illegals.
Wow! This gets confusing: is the President going to demonstrate that the border is closed by loading underage illegals on planes and sending them home or not? At the moment, we're on "not." But that could, and most likely will, change if the President and the White House sniff the wind again, and find it is not blowing in their direction.
Can the President really come to Texas to fundraise and avoid going to the border? Now two Southwest Democrat congressmen have spoken out, saying it's an important issue and he should schedule a visit. Henry Cuellar said exactly that while making the comment that this issue could be Obama's Katrina Moment, and then Raul Grijalva, representing Arizona's 3rd district, chimed in, urging the President to go.
The White House would like this issue to go away, and revive another War on Women campaign, by suckering Republicans into an ambush debate on contraception that would drive single women voters to Democrats. You never know. Republicans might just be dumb enough to fall for it.
But the border mess, and the President's culpability by sending the message that kids won't be deported, are a two headed monster for this administration. The public is now acutely aware that the border crisis is getting worse, not better, and Presidential waffling–one day declaring tough enforcement, the next backing off– appears to be to blame.
