Great idea, and well made at that. I really like what you've done with the sword.
I have been playing around with making custom weapons lately and came up with this:
Maybe I'll work on it a bit more yet to smooth out some rough spots, but it's basically done. I tried to make it resemble the classic figure's power sword, yet fit in with the new figures. Oh, and sorry for the poor picture, but this is a scan and the sword didn't sit perfectly straight.
Great idea, and well made at that. I really like what you've done with the sword.

This is how the "reimagined" sword should look. Nicely done

No offence to Mattel or the Four Horsemen, but that's how the Sword of Power should've looked in the new line...
I'm the guy behind cereal:geek magazine, The He-Man and She-Ra Blog!, and The unofficial cartoon guide to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe...
That is terrific Northy!
Excellent work!
What is wrong with the picture - it looks great to me!

Now that is the sword of power!!!!
Great work!! can we see the sword with a figure I want to see how big it is.
That's awesome, how did you do it?

As you can see in this picture it's approximately the same size as the real sword:
It's made using part of the original blade, the Martial Arts He-Man blade, and the handle from a sword that I got with some generic dollar store figure.
That sword looks cool.
Time for a mould and a list!

Whoa! I'd seriously wish that this was released with a figure, you would get used for a new movie!
That is a very cool custom Northlander!
If ya look at the FourHorsemen's early sketch of He-man, his power sword did have a sort of a classic shape to it.

Great work on the sword! I want one for my He-man
This pleases me. I know that I have been complaining alot abotu the power sword since I saw She-Ra's sword. This is nice.
I'm perfectly normal! It's the rest of the world that is NUTS!
I suppose that's not a bad idea, unfortunately I know nothing about such things. If someone who would be willing to take on such a project should decide to contact me, however, maybe we could work something out.Originally Posted by oICEMANo
I'd like a few extras myself!
Inspired work there Northlander. And a lot nicer that the one used. I was never crazy on the new sword, a bit over done I think. Pity the 4HM didn't use their original design.
I'd buy one of yours for sure!

Man you made an awesome sword!! wow really wow!!Originally Posted by The Northlander
i like it, much simpler and more true to the original. i never understood how the sword that released the ancient powers of Grayskull would be so high-tech and over engineered. i mean whats with all the freakin wires? is it electric now? does he-man have to carry a generator or a battery pack?

Even though I already made my own classic style sword of power based on Scareglow's design, I would so sign up for one of those if they end up being mass produced!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! If a "list" gets made sign me up!

Hey, it's already a little bit longer than the one that comes with the real figure.Originally Posted by krosfyah
Thanks for posting that Horsemen quote. I had heard a secondhand version of what they said before, but never read it in their own words. I like their idea, not just for the sword, but for advancing the timeline and having Skeletor in power with He-Man's group struggling to survive and retake the planet. That would have made for better drama I think, and also not ignored what had come before.
I too enjoyed that quote! I also really like your sword Northy! I don't think it needs to be longer, but I am not overly fond of the handle-otherwise it is PERFECT! Nice work-wen does casting begin ?Originally Posted by The Northlander

The handle, yeah... I wanted the guard on it like the old power sword had. This handle isn't perfect, and you'd have to cut the plastic joining He-Man's right-hand thumb to his fingers to fit the sword in there. Maybe it's better off just as a showpiece...

This became clear after we ran our poll asking you "Should Nokia switch to Android?". According to the results, the majority of you, which is 59.83% (3631 votes), think that Windows Phone will never be as successful as Android, and so Nokia should make a smart choice and side with the best. However, 35.28% (2141 votes) of you are of the opposite opinion, reasoning that as things have just started to get better for Nokia and Windows Phone, there is no point in abandoning ship now.
In our poll we also included a third possible answer, just for the fun of it, which read: "I don't know, maybe they should just license Open WebOS..." Not many of our readers seemed to like the idea, though, so that option was chosen by only 4.89% (297 votes). If one thing is certain in this world, it's that most users wouldn't like Nokia to adopt WebOS.
Whether Nokia will eventually decide to open the door for Android remains unknown. For now, the future of the company seems to be bound to Microsoft and Windows Phone. Let's hope it's for the better!
- Should Nokia switch to Android?
- Absolutely, Android will always be better than Windows Phone. 59.83% (3631 votes) (3631 votes)
- Nope, things have just started to get better. Why make a switch now? 35.28% (2141 votes) (2141 votes)
- I don't know, maybe they should just license Open WebOS... 4.89% (297 votes) (297 votes)

It has been a busy start to 2017… the first project of which to see the light of day is my score to Nureyev which was recently recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra under the baton of Andy Brown at Abbey Road Studio 1 (with choir conducted by Nigel Short). Directed by Jacqui Morris (with whom I previously scored the multi BAFTA nominated McCullin and the multi award winning Attacking The Devil); it is an incredibly beautiful documentary of the life of ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev, told solely through never before seen archive and newly commissioned choreography.
I'll be releasing an accompanying album closer to the theatrical release, and perhaps a couple of teasers before that…
Here's a snap from the session (along with engineer/mixer Joe Rubel, conductor Andy Brown, Abbey Road engineers Toby and Stefano, and players from the London Metropolitan Orchestra).

IBM Launches Self-service Checkout Technology
New software geared toward frustrated shoppers.
NEW YORK -- Thanks to new IBM technology, consumers can now check out selected items at practically any location in a store. Big Blue's first-of-a-kind self checkout technology solutions provides consumer with self-service options and gives retailers a new tool for building customer advocacy for their brands, CNNMoney reported.
"Today's market environment is tough and competitive, and there is huge pressure on retailers to transform and innovate, all driven by a need to change the shopping experience for consumers," Steve Ladwig, general manager of retail store solutions, told CNNMoney. "The IBM AnyPlace Checkout allows us to help our clients serve their customers in totally new ways, answering consumer demand for easy-to-use self service in more places than ever before."
In conjunction with the aforementioned release, IBM also revealed new additional software geared toward further enhancing the speed of the self checkout process through a new state-of-the-art, entry-level kiosk. Designed for small businesses and large enterprise departments, the IBM AnyPlace Checkout system is the next major step in self checkout innovation, explained Ladwig. Clients are given the best of both worlds by the combination of the ultra-compact footprint of the market-leading IBM AnyPlace Kiosk with the robust capabilities of IBM self checkout software.
The platform comes at the right time as a recent customer purchasing survey conducted by National In-Store concluded that 10 percent of shoppers who left a store without making a purchase cited the wait to check out as a factor in their decision not to buy. The survey also noted that when forced to wait in line for more than four minutes, customer satisfaction levels fall below 80 percent.
With consumers estimated to spend $230.7 billion on self-checkout transactions at retail spaces in the coming year, an estimated 28 percent increase, consumers are becoming more comfortable with the process. According to an IHL Group 2007 market study on self checkout, 98 percent of respondents have used self checkouts, almost 50 percent have used it more than five times in the previous year, and 72 percent have readily accepted the technology in the marketplace.
"Self checkout not only continues to gain widespread acceptance with consumers, but we are also seeing that self-service solutions are paying off for retailers," Greg Buzek, president of IHL Consulting Group, told CNNMoney. "Our research shows that retailers that have embraced self-service technologies are redeploying labor to key profit areas, improving customer service with more lanes and improving profitability by increasing the number of profitable transactions."
Complete with a new self checkout design, the IBM AnyPlace Checkout system touts new features and enhanced flexibility designed to make it easier for consumers to scan and pay for their items quickly, regardless of store size. Software enhancements include:
-- Small Footprint: Designed with the IBM AnyPlace Kiosk at its core, this unit offers one of the smallest self checkout footprints available;
-- Customized Enclosures: Offers flexibility to utilize a variety of enclosures including customized designs by IBM Global Technology Services or third party vendors;
-- Cashless: units offering credit/debit payment options only, to speed transactions by eliminating the time it takes to accept and dispense bills and coins;
-- Manageability: A component of IBM Store Integration Framework, the Remote Management Agent (RMA)enables retailers to achieve end-to-end store systems management of retail devices and applications along side traditional IT deployment.

Initially Qtrax will operate in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand.
Before the end of the year it will launch in the US & Canada and the UK. Within the first half of next year it will roll out to the rest of the world.
Qtrax: "Asia and of course in particular China is a very compelling place for a global internet & music company to initiate its rollout. There are a myriad of stats that could be quoted but here are a few key ones: China had 298 million Internet users in 2008 and the number is growing at an annual rate of 41.9%. In Asia, Internet users grew by 474.9% between 2000 and 2008, as opposed to 280.7% for the rest of the world. More than any other online activity, China clobbers the US & the rest of the world in terms of music downloading- 83.7% download music in China Vs less than 40% in the US".

Self-titled as "America's Personal Trainer," Tony Little is one of the most recognizable faces in the nation, averaging over 5,000 hours a year on TV. Tony encourages people to get into shape, but when it comes to his being a dad, he says, "Believe it or not, I'm absolutely not a hyper, pushy person to my children."
Tony has not only motivated people to move their bodies, his infomercials have generated more than $4 billion in sales globally. He pulled from his positive mindset when his twin sons Cody and Chase were born 3 months premature. Tony – who is also dad to daughter Tara, 23, and son Trent, 22 – opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about his young sons' struggle for survival, his parenting philosophies and how he's learned to laugh at himself: "I love the parodies! Anything that makes people laugh and helps them have a good time is fine by me."
CBS: Please tell us about your twin sons, Cody and Chase. Briefly tell us about their premature birth and their struggle for survival. How are they doing now?
TL: "Cody and Chase are miracle babies. They were born about 12 weeks early – they were due around March 6 and were actually born November 23. Cody weighed 1 pound, 15 ounces, while Chase weighed about 2 pounds at birth. It was all at once an extremely unfortunate, yet fortunate, event for Melissa and me. It was unfortunate because they were extremely premature. But it was fortunate because we knew someone above was watching out for us and our babies.
On the night of their birth, Melissa woke up in the middle of the night in pain and she was bleeding, so we rushed her to the hospital. By chance, our doctor was already at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning and the surgery room was ready to go with over 25 people on staff. They jumped right in and performed a C-section with no time to spare, as Cody's head was already visible. There was no time to organize a plan – it was just go!
I was in the surgery room from the beginning to the end. One of the most horrifying things I've ever experienced was when the doctor held Cody up immediately after he was delivered. I looked at him and the doctor said, 'Tony, he's really small,' which I knew meant, don't get too attached.
The hospital staff at the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Joseph Women's Hospital in Tampa were absolutely amazing. The babies were there for three months and Melissa was unbelievable. She was there day and night with Cody and Chase. Of course, for the first month or so, we couldn't even touch them – they were really fragile and in incubators. But looking back, I think the most important thing was that the boys knew we were there. It'll shock you how many preemie babies you'll see in the hospital – and the parents are never there. That's not only sad, but I think it's obvious that it makes a huge difference to the children, their knowing mom and dad are there and that they love them.
Cody had a level 3 brain bleed, while Chase had to have surgery at about one month to close a heart valve. After all that, today they're doing great. They're both home and weigh about 20 pounds each. Chase is still on a feeding tube, but he's starting to eat with a bottle. Cody has also been doing well. He's cruising all over the house in his walker – just crazy! Recently, we received more challenging news when the doctors found a bit of water on top of his brain. We're hoping it'll dissipate on its own, but if not, they'll have to put in a shunt in the next 30 days or so."
CBS: What did that difficult situation teach you and your wife? Did you walk away stronger because of what you went through?
TL: "My wife is definitely coming away from this experience a stronger person. These are her first children, so she's obviously very cautious, very emotional and very into her kids. But she already had a tendency to be more positive than negative about things, so that really helped her cultivate the strength she needed to handle this.
As for myself, I've always believed in going forward in life. I try to never think negatively about things, because you always have a better experience when you think positively. I've always been this way and I believe it's this approach to life that's always gotten me through tough times."
CBS: You are the self-titled "America's Personal Trainer." Your over-the-top and enthusiastic approach to fitness sets you apart. Is that an act or is that really you?
TL: "No, that's really me! When it comes to motivating people and doing something positive, I always get energized and excited. I feel that I'm promoting something that really helps people – it makes them look better, feel better and helps them get more out of life."
CBS: We have to ask, are you ever going to cut your hair?
TL: "One of the first questions that many people ask me is, 'Is your hair real?' So I'm happy that you assume that it is. I was mentioning things that excite me before. Well, I've got to say, being 54 years of age and still having my own hair definitely excites me! Whenever I'm on an airplane and see all those people without hair in front of me, I think to myself, 'No, I'm never going to cut it!' "
CBS: Why did you choose the field of personal training? What inspired you to inspire others for a living?
TL: "When I was young, I suffered a knee injury and couldn't participate in the school's athletic programs or even take gym class. But I convinced the principal to give me credit for physical eduction by letting me work out on my own with weights and cardio equipment in the gym. That allowed me to appreciate the ability I had to change myself, not only physically, but mentally.
That mindset also gave me the motivation to enter the world of bodybuilding and athletics, and become very successful at it. Just as important, it also encouraged me to want to teach others – to educate and motivate people to do what I had done. Personal training is all about being one-on-one, something I do best."
CBS: Tell us some of the ways you inspire your children to be the best they can be.
TL: "You're probably referring to my older children, Trent and Tara. Both of them are about to finish college and they're planning to pursue graduate degrees in medical school and psychology, respectively. Obviously I'm a very proud father! They're both self-motivated people and I think that comes from me not being pushy with them when they were growing up. Believe it or not, I'm absolutely not a hyper, pushy person to my children. I've always tried to be a good role model to them, basically trying to live a life that says, 'I strongly believe there's always a way in anything you face.' It's the truth and I think it resonates with my kids."
CBS: Do your children have regular exercise regimes? Do they enjoy being active? Were you an active child?
TL: "I was an extremely active child. Before school I was out in the woods and at the end of the day, I'd jump off the bus and head back to the woods again. I love hiking, fishing, hunting – everything having to do with the outdoors and I was that way growing up.
I was also working by the time I was 14, so I was always active in that way. I remember my mom, saying to me – even in winter – 'Go run laps around the house and I'll count them for you!' She would sit in the family room by the picture window and I could see her waving at me, counting how many times I went by. She was my very first trainer!
As for Trent, he keeps himself in shape. He works out regularly while at college, and on the weekends, we work out together at the gym. He used to be 70 pounds overweight, but he lost all of it and turned into a really buff kid and he keeps it up. To be honest, I didn't push him at all – I think it was motivated by his interest in girls! As for Tara, she keeps herself healthy and in good shape, but her interests lean more toward the cerebral, which is why she's so focused on becoming a psychologist."
With Cody and Chase, Melissa and I play with them and are constantly working on their core strength – their midsection area – and developing their balance and flexibility. They see a physical therapist twice a week and a speech pathologist once a week, so we're trying to get them off to a good start."
CBS: You are frequently the target of parodies. How do you react to the impersonations? Are you able to laugh with them or do you get offended?
TL: "I love the parodies! Anything that makes people laugh and helps them have a good time is fine by me. And I always keep in mind the famous saying, 'There's only one thing worse than being talked about and that's not being talked about.' Also, I understand where the humor comes from. I mean, I can be on five-to-seven TV stations at the same time and my infomercials are on-the-air about 5,000 hours a year in the U.S., so how can I be offended by the jokes?"
CBS: Have your kids seen any of the impersonations? If so, how do they handle it?
TL: "I think they enjoy them as much as I do – we're a family that's certainly fun-loving.
Moreover, none of us think there's anything wrong with parodying things like fitness or being hyper. These are all positive aspects concerning living a healthy life. Believe it or not, my infomercials have been used in more motion pictures than any others, so my kids think it's cool for them to see their dad in all these things!"
CBS: What are your next projects?
TL: "One of my biggest projects is my line of footwear called Cheeks, which I've been working with for the past six or seven years. Our company has grown and we've just partnered with Fitness Quest, which is the company behind my Gazelle trainer, to take the shoe line into retail.
Also doing well is my Body by Bison buffalo meat products, which are based on the concept of 'you are what eat.' It's all low-calorie, high-protein North American grass-fed bison, with no growth hormones, no stimulants, and no chemicals.

Jäger Kohl (Hunter's Cabbage)
Recipe by Halcyon Eve
I found this at Teri's Kitchen, a site about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. It's become a favorite in our family. Since we don't eat pork, we substitute beef ingredients for the sausage and bacon. However, the pork version is more authentic. It is very hearty and filling.
Top Review by French Tart
A SUPER easy and VERY tasty recipe! I am thrilled to have found this and will be making it many more times. I used left over small Strasbourg sausages and everything else was as posted. I garnished ours with the optional caraway seeds and creme fraiche (sour cream sub here in France) and we ate this with home-made crusty bread - a REAL Winter warmer and VERY much enjoyed! My only disppointment was that my photos did not do the meal justice - my cabbage was a pale green which looked yellow after cooking! Made NO difference to the taste however! Made as a Fairy Dust recipe in the Holiday Tag special for MsSally! Merci Halcyon Eve! FT:-)

Although I do a lot of web design, I actually use Frontpage Express for doing simple pages of text and graphics, for displaying information. The great thing is that you can knock up tables, place pictures, do bullet points and change font styles with the ease of a word processor. You can do some more complicated things too, with a bit of experimentation. You can add background music at the click of a button. The main advantage of using this package though, is the way it makes simple web pages easier to do. If you try and make a simple web page using a text editor, it can be tricky and time consuming. The worst thing about Frontpage Express is the actual HTML code that is generated after making a web page. It makes code that is about twice as big as it needs to be, although this will only worry people who know anything about HTML. This is still a great package for beginners or people who want to create web pages very fast.
Microsoft Frontpage Express 5 is a free, cut down version of the very popular Microsoft Frontpage package. Its the perfect solution for both the professional and any beginner interested in creating a website. The program interface is very similar to other applications published by Microsoft, including Word or Publisher. If you've used these before or programs like them you'll have no problems using frontpage (express) to build your website. The "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) program is really very simple to use, especially if all you want to create is a simple homepage with a few pictures. You add text to the document (webpage) like you would in any other Desktop Top Publisher (DTP). Its simple a matter of typing the text and then formatting (no html coding required). The program makes inserting pictures, adding links to other pages/websites and implementing things you may expect to see on other websites a doddle. For the professional and advanced website designers out there, Frontpage express is a great program because while allowing beginners to create basic websites it also provides the ability to add your own HTML code to the source or even write some java scripts. So the advance stuff that the program cannot do can simply can be done by modifying the code yourself. Another good thing is that when you change the code, you can quickly see the results (if any) of that change in the page preview area or you can click a button that gives you a preview in the internet browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer). To be honest I would not recommend this free, cut down version of Frontpage to a professional, as they would definetely benifit from the features the full version of Frontpage has to offer (the one you have to pay for, but it is worth it). Frontpage express is ideal for a beginner who wants to create a few good looking web-pages for all the world
to see. Its free, which is always a bonus, its really user friendly and I always use it because I think its brilliant. Remember professionals get the full version with all the features. Beginners stick with this free verison, until you at least learn the ropes. By DooyooExpert.

Federal members are required to disclose in a public register any sponsored travel or hospitality they receive that is worth more than $300. The disclosures are applicable from the time of a member's election.
An investigation by Fair Work Australia found Mr Thomson spent more than $2000 on his union-issued Diners Club card after resigning as general secretary of the Health Services Union to become an MP.
Mr Thomson was elected to Parliament on November 24, 2007, and resigned from his job at the union three weeks later.
The spending included $330 for accommodation, most likely at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney; $550 at Forty One Restaurant in Sydney; more than $494 on car hire in Adelaide and $142 on valet parking at Sydney Airport.
Mr Thomson's first parliamentary disclosure in March 2008 declared only a rental property in Melbourne, his home in Tumbi Umbi, accounts with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and a credit union, his superannuation and his wife's car.
Subsequent updates in 2008 mentioned attendance at sporting events but not the union credit card.
On Wednesday night Mr Thomson updated his pecuniary interests register to include a statement that the NSW branch of the Labor Party helped pay his legal bills up to April 29, when his party membership was suspended.
Until now, the investigations into Mr Thomson have focused on his time at the union, prior to entering Parliament.
Allegations contained in the FWA report that he used union funds to support his 2007 election may bolster the Coalition's case that he should explain his actions to the Parliament.
The report found Mr Thomson spent nearly $266,000 of HSU money on staff and other expenses related to his campaign to win the seat of Dobell, which centres around The Entrance on NSW's central coast.)
Mr Thomson plans to make a statement to Parliament about the allegations when it resumes later this month. He was not available for comment yesterday.
When interviewed about the credit card transactions which occurred after he resigned from his union job, Mr Thomson told Fair Work Australia he didn't recall and would respond later.
"I think I gave back [the] credit card and cars all on resignation but I don't have a clear recollection of that either," he told FWA investigators.
Mr Thomson never provided FWA with a response.
In the interview recorded in the report, FWA director Terry Nassios, hints at additional spending by Mr Thomson on top of what was outlined in the report.
Mr Nassios said that, according to the union's auditor, Mr Thomson spent "approximately $2000 on mobile phones and approximately $5500 on [his] union credit card after [his] election to Parliament" on 24 November, 2007. Nearly half of this amount was spent "after [his] resignation on 14 December".
The report referred spending of $1425.62 by Mr Thomson after he left the union to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The report noted it was possible some transactions which appeared on credit card statements after the resignation date might have taken place in the days before Mr Thomson resigned.
In his submission to FWA, Mr Thomson's lawyer defended the $330 he spent on accommodation for the night of 15 December by saying he was "of the view that the national executive was comfortable with the accommodation after his resignation from the HSU, given the extent of Mr Thomson's service and his significant contribution to the HSU during his time as national secretary".
He also noted: "There have been incidents of misuse of HSU credit cards in the past."
Mr Nassios said there was no evidence the union's national executive members were comfortable or even aware of the accommodation expense. He also said he had no evidence his credit card had been misused by others in the past.
Mr Thomson and the Labor Party have been under severe pressure since the FWA report was released to the public on Monday evening.
The report found Mr Thomson withdrew $103,000 in cash on his union credit cards and spent more than $73,000 on dining and entertainment.
The FWA report, which took several years to compile, found 156 legal and rule breaches by Mr Thomson.

MOSCOW — The core owners of embattled Russian oil giant Yukos have told Russian authorities that they would cede their controlling stake to the government if jailed ex-CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky were freed and the charges against him dropped.
Khodorkovsky, Russia's wealthiest man, has been imprisoned in Moscow since Oct. 25 on charges of fraud and tax evasion. The 40-year-old oil magnate's requests to have bond set have been denied twice by Russian courts, and prosecutors have said he may have to wait in jail for up to two years while they prepare his trial.

Patients with advanced breast, prostate, lung, ovarian, colon, pancreas and connective tissue cancers all benefited from taking the drug, called 2C4.
The drug, given the trade name Omnitarg, consists of a protein called a monoclonal antibody which gives a boost to the body's immune system.
Specifically, it targets a signalling pathway common to many different cancers that stimulates tumour growth.
Scientists are excited because dramatic results were seen in a preliminary Phase I trial.
The aim of these trials is simply to see if the drug is safe - not whether it is effective.
But in this case the drug immediately began to produce impressive results.
Dr David Agus, who led the trial at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles, said: "What's interesting is that this drug effectively shrank tumours in several completely different types of cancer in early stage clinical trials.
"This tells us that the drug targets a growth-signalling pathway in cancer cells that is common in many solid tumours."
Tumours shrunk
In the study, 21 patients with advanced cancers received Omnitarg by infusion at three week intervals.
A total of 19 patients completed at least two cycles of treatment, and two died at the outset due to complications of their disease.
The researchers found that in 42% of the treated patients tumours either shrank by up to 50%, or stopped growing for a given time period.
Three patients achieved partial remission - one with ovarian cancer, one with prostate cancer and one with pancreatic cancer.
The ovarian and pancreatic patients remain in remission and have now been receiving Omnitarg for over a year.
Five additional patients - three with prostate, one with lung and one with ovarian cancer - stabilised for at least three months after two treatment cycles.
Dr Agus, who presented the results at a meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago, said: "To see results that show activity in a Phase I safety trial is remarkable, especially since these patients were in the
advanced stages of their disease and had no other treatment options open to them."
Dr Elaine Vickers, science information officer at Cancer Research UK, said: "The results from this trial look very promising, and the potential of monoclonal antibodies has already been demonstrated with the approval of drugs such as Herceptin and Rituximab.
"However, this was only a small trial, larger trials involving many more patients are needed before a definitive answer on the effectiveness of Omnitarg can be reached."

The business owner overseeing the expansion of the Honest-1 Auto Care facility in Blaine on University Avenue has very diverse experiences so he can better support his family.
Evan Staples of Brooklyn Park continues to work full-time helping people invest in mutual funds at Nuveen Investments, but he chose to purchase the Honest-1 Auto Care business at 10705 University Ave. NE Feb. 20, 2012 because he wanted another stable income to support his family. His wife Jessica and he have an 18-month-old daughter, Brynn, and another baby is on the way.
"It's been a great experience and learning opportunity," Staples said. "Everyone talks about wanting to open a business. To see that through is fun and exciting."
The Honest-1 building was once home to a Crown Auto service shop and then a Movie Gallery. The building now has five auto repair bays and will get another four during this expansion, according to Staples.
There are seven full-time employees of which four are mechanics and three work in the office and front desk. There is another part-time employee who will be going to full-time and Staples said he may hire a ninth full-time person.
Staples is very pleased with how well the business has been received by the community and that is why the expansion is taking place. When a business reaches a space saturation point it could raise prices, but he felt expansion to serve more customers would be the best route.
Staples received his undergraduate and master's degrees in business administration from St. Cloud State University in 2004 and 2005, respectively. He was an adjunct professor of finance at his alma mater for six months starting in the fall of 2005.
At the age of 16, Staples knew he wanted to work in the financial field. He wanted to trade stock himself in his later high school years, but legally could not do so until he was an adult, so his father co-signed a brokerage account. Staples invested a couple of thousand dollars of his own money, but his father would have been liable for the losses if there were any.
Staples first went to work for RBC Capital Markets before joining Nuveen three-and-a-half years ago.
Although he continues to enjoy working in the financial industry, he was concerned that his job security was tied to how well the stock market was doing. He wanted a more stable second income.
"I was looking for a way to diversify and protect my family," he said.
Staples considered owning a restaurant, liquor store and a gas station before he chose the auto repair industry. His reasoning was that even during a recession, people need to get their vehicles fixed.
Although he was accustomed to evaluating how a company was performing financially, opening a business was more complex because it involved real estate, purchasing fixtures furniture and hiring employees. He attended multiple small business seminars to get help from people who knew more about owning and operating a business than he did. He hired his manager from Pep Boys.
Staples made sure the waiting area was a clean and comfortable environment for customers and he hired people who would be honest and communicate well, he said.
"It's rewarding to see customers have a good experience and leave happy," Staples said.

Oil futures traded nearly unchanged Tuesday, pausing a day after a brisk rally as they sought further guidance from U.S. stock markets.
Light, sweet crude for October delivery rose 12 cents, or 0.1%, to $87.39 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude on ICE Futures Europe traded up 28 cents, or 0.3%, to $112.16 a barrel.
Crude prices fluctuated between positive and negative territory as U.S. stock futures pointed to a lower open. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 255 points on Monday, lifting Nymex crude futures more than 2% as traders shrugged off the relatively mild impact of Hurricane Irene.
"It just looks like we're taking a little bit of a breather," said Tom Bentz, a director at BNP Paribas Commodity Futures. "You've had a market that's run up over the last couple of days."
Oil futures in recent weeks have closely mirrored movements in major U.S. equity indices, which many traders have come to see as barometers of sentiment about the broader economy. Cracks in the fragile U.S. recovery have sent both equities and crude prices sliding in recent months, with Nymex futures coming off a high of nearly $115 a barrel in May.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures recently fell 53 points, or 0.5%, to 11464.
Although oil market participants remained focused on events overseas, including the recovery in Libya and demand growth in emerging markets, economic weakness in the U.S. has weighed on prices given its status as the world's biggest oil consumer. Traders are likely to keep a close eye on U.S. economic readings until they get a clearer sign that the recovery is back on track.
Later Tuesday, the Conference Board will release its reading on August U.S. consumer confidence, while minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Aug. 9 are due in the afternoon.
Further cues on the health of the U.S. economy will come Friday, when the Labor Department releases its monthly report on nonfarm payrolls, the most closely watched gauge of U.S. employment strength.
In Libya, traders continued to await hints on when production and exports would restart. On Monday, Libya's rebel-controlled Arabian Gulf Oil Co. said it plans to restart production and exports by the end of September.
"As crude production returns, we would expect the [rebels] to put its export commitments on the fast-track--even at the expense of domestic crude requirements," said JBC Energy, a Vienna-based consultancy, in a research report.
Front-month September reformulated gasoline blendstock, or RBOB, recently traded up 2.36 cents, or 0.8%, to $2.9300 a gallon. September heating oil gained 1.58 cents, or 0.5%, to $3.0260 a gallon.

Structural abuse is the process by which an individual is dealt with unfairly by a system in ways that the person finds it challenging to protect themselves against, to manage , to break out of, to mobilise against, to seek justice and redress for and which is difficult to avoid, reverse or change.
Every system contains at least one level at which structural abuse occurs, when the actions of the system takes over the actions of individuals within that system to create structures by which abuse of others occurs.[citation needed]
Structural abuse should not be confused with structural violence. Structural violence refers to action committed by a larger society, such as racism or classism in an entire society. Structural abuse refers to actions that are not necessarily endorsed by the broader society.
There are three kinds of structural abuse:
- Imposed interference with an individual's personal space-time-energy control;
- "Normal" interferences with an individual's ability to control relationships and their construction;
- Missing connections that harness the physical, mental and emotional energies of a person over a protracted period, thus causing damage to both the relationship and the physical and emotional wellbeing of the person being kept waiting.
Structural abuse is indirect, and exploits the victim on an emotional, mental and psychological level. It manifests itself in specific situations within each cultural, social, corporate and family framework.
Impacts Edit
Structural abuse is also called societal abuse. It has four permanent impacts upon the individuals subjected to it:
- Cognitive abuse by which the meaning of the world is changed forever
- Sexual abuse in which a person's identity is changed for life
- Emotional abuse by which the capability to function in a human manner is impaired
- Physical abuse that is imposed upon an individual or group by a personal, social, commercial or cultural system of dominance.
Cues indicating a Structurally Abusive Corporate System
Structural Abuse Indicators include the inability of an outsider to make contact on a personal level with the people who work within an organisation. Cafe meetings turn discussions into plagiarisable events, while lack of agendas for high performance meetings create heightened levels of feeling threatened which impacts on how such meetings are approached. Being kept on hold with music blaring down the earpiece is structural abuse because by listening for the resumption of the discussion there is no escape from the sound.
Structurally abusive political systems
Making promises which are not kept is a category of political structural abuse. Unkept promises fixate the expectations that people create from such promises. Expectations that create physical arousal states and a physical, emotional, intellectual and behavioural mindset by which to accommodate the fulfillment of those promises. When those visualisations of the future and its mobilisation of personal responsiveness is not satisfied in a timely or appropriate manner the result is an extended period of physiological arousal which can turn into stress and emotional depression over time. Hence the anger responses of electorates to the unkept promises of politicians.
Community Control Functions of Structural Abuse
All categories of structural abuse involve the manipulative control of time, energy, focus and connection between people, groups and organisations, in the service of one side, and to the disservice of the other.
Most people call structural abuse "bad manners" or "rudeness", since it generally breaks conventions by which there is mutual control within each situation.
Each instance of structural abuse breaks down the positive relationship between the two parties, creating for those being abused increasingly negative relationships built on expectations of exploitation, snatching of time, waste of effort, missing redress, and feelings of entrapment from which it is hard to escape.
Dealing with structural abuse
Structural abuse is helped by talking therapies in which those abused find a listener, and then find their voice by which to begin to remove the power of the abusing system to continue to harm their inner identities.
Currently in most countries, there is no formal law that has been formulated against structural abuse, protecting the victim from such abuse, and enabling him or her to approach the court for relevant justice.[citation needed]

Treatment unsuccessful means after six weeks of having this treatment I am still feel pain in the groin area and sometimes when urinating.
My doctor told me the teatment takes minimum 6 weeks because it is not easy for the antibiotics to reach the prostate.
No. I did not get my prostate gland checked.

APPROVAL has been granted to controversial plans to build a structure to house fifty goats just outside Cricklade.
Wiltshire Council's Northern Area Planning Committee voted on Wednesday July 16 to approve the plans, subject to an additional requirement.
Conditions now applied to the application include the need for a plan for disposing of waste and soiled bedding, the demolition and complete removal of materials from the previous building and the removal of a caravan and sceptic tank which do not have permission to be on the land.
A number of residents complained in writing about the application, stating that it was intended to waste the committee's time and stall action on enforcement notices previously served on the property.
As well as this residents have complained about the potential sound and smell of the goats, which the case officer Lydia Lewis suggested should not cause a disturbance to the residents.
The proposed enterprise aims to raise between 50 and 70 goats per year, selling 50 for meat and a further 10 as pets through Cirencester Market and local advertising.

With work now wrapped up on the PS3 and 360 instalment, Resident Evil 5 producer Masachika Kawata has told us he wants to make a brand new Resi game for Wii.
Thanks to the magic of translation, Kawata-san hinted to Eurogamer TV that Nintendo fans shouldn't despair that their console isn't powerful enough to handle the high-def horror of number five.
"Personally I would like to create something on Wii in the Resident Evil family," he revealed. "At the moment we don't know and have just been working on RE5, so watch this space."
So far, Wii has received a port of last-gen masterpiece Resident Evil 4, plus The Umbrella Chronicles, an on-rails shooter. A brand new, proper Resi game for Wii would be a massive boost for the console. And might even help Ellie forget about Golden Balls.
You can check out the full interview with Kawata-san over on Eurogamer TV.

Rights within the database
This is a follow-on to my post
What are the actual rights?
First and foremost, I want to include membership in the fixed database roles. That's fairly easy to pull based on individual users. The db_datareader and db_datawriter roles are naturally of great interest because they grant explicit access to all tables and views. However, if I want to get all the permissions, I need to look deeper. Within an individual database several areas have to be looked at for permissions. They are:
Database owner
- Whoever is the owner of the database has the ability to completely bypass permissions. Therefore, I need to take this into account, especially if a database belongs to a particular login and not a generic one like sa
Members of the db_datareader and db_datawriter fixed database roles
- I've mentioned this above, but just producing a report saying "Said user is a member of the role" may not be sufficient to convey how much access a particular user has. Therefore, if we produce a report saying said user has SELECT access, we need to take into account these fixed database roles.
Members of the db_denydatareader and db_denydatwriter fixed database roles
- Like the previous point, these roles block access. And since DENY trumps an explicit grant, this may mean a user doesn't have the access other roles would grant. We have to take this into account when reporting what access a user actually has.
Permissions assigned against individual users
- This is a no-brainer. We need to know what a particular user account has been assigned explicitly.
Permissions assigned to database roles
- Best practices says to create user-defined database roles and assign permissions to them. Therefore, we can't just go with the permissions defined for the user. By the way, we do need to consider both user-defined and the public fixed database role as permissions can be assigned directly to public. Other fixed database roles aren't a concern because we can't assign permissions directly to them.
Users as members of database roles
- In order to map permissions properly, we need to keep track of what database roles a user is a member of.
Database roles nested within database roles
- Since database roles can be nested, we need to keep track of what roles are members of what other roles. This will also pose some complexity when we look at interrogating Windows logins which happen to be security groups.
Keep in mind that none of this takes into account ownership chaining. Unfortunately, to be able to do that means parsing functions, stored procedures, and views to determine what objects are being accessed and then determining ownership. If we have objects with the same name owned by different owners, we have to evaluate what object is being referenced. There's also the potential of referencing objects in other databases. At this point I'm not interested in going down that path. I'm interested in implicit permissions due to fixed database roles or database ownership and explicit permissions granted to database security principals. So that is the scope I'll be looking at for the time being.

Ron Williams, the president of the New Rochelle NAACP, endorsed Republican Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino in his bid for reelection Thursday, praising him for his, "fiscal stewardship, his clear compassion for people in need and for his ability to listen."
In making the endorsement, Williams, who endorsed as an individual and not for the NAACP, passed over the mayor of New Rochelle, Astorino's Democratic opponent Noam Bramson.
Of Astorino, he said: "I was particularly impressed by his leadership in helping keep the Oasis shelter and the Family Court in New Rochelle open. When I went to New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson about these issues, he was disinterested and unsympathetic. Westchester County is best served by a leader who understands that safe communities, excellent schools, and good paying jobs are all derived from a steady, responsible leader with the right values."
The Astorino campaign touted the endorsement as another addition to "Democrats for Astorino." Astorino has gained the endorsements of Assemblyman Ronald Tocci, D-New Rochelle; Mount Vernon Councilwoman Deborah Reynolds; the Rev. W. Franklyn Richardson, the pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon and Bishop C. Nathan Edwers, pastor of Friendship Worship Center in Mount Vernon.

Bike for Christmas
Started by nasty roses , Nov 26 2012 11:50 PM

Hello, fellow Christmas shoppers! I'm hoping someone can help me.
DH and I want to get DS (5) a bike for Christmas.
We're inclined to get a proper, bike shop bike, rather than a K-Mart/Big W bike.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Posted 27 November 2012 - 01:09 AM
The average 5 year old is on a small frame 20" bike. Look at the radius explosive, giant moda, or mongoose racer x. If he needs training wheels make sure the rear axle is long enough for them to be fitted or it will cost you more
If he doesnt need training wheels and you want gears look at the giant veer with 3 gears and back pedal brake.
If he is small then look sat a 16" like the giant animator, mongoose Mity goose or radius dinosaur these come with training wheels
If you measure his inside leg any good bike shop should be able to work out what size he needs.

When DS got his bike for Christmas, we told him Santa needed to know what size so we took him to the local bike shop and had him try some for size. We ended up getting the Mity Goose. Buying from a specialist shop means that you know you are getting one which has been put together properly, and hopefully you are getting good after sale service. We returned a couple of weeks after Christmas to have DS's bike checked and the nuts and bolts tightened.

Duke used a 12-0 run at the start of the second half to hold off Georgia Tech 73 to -57 to help the Blue Devils avoid a second straight loss.
With the win the No. 3 Blue Devils improved their record to 16-1 (3-1 ACC). It was Duke's second game since losing Ryan Kelly for an indefinite amount of time and for a good time against the Yellow Jackets it looked as if they some how were going to play even worse then they did in last weekend's loss to NC State.
Duke managed to respond in the second half and one player in particular, Amile Jefferson, maybe showing signs of stepping up to help fill the void somewhat.
He didn't have the biggest stat line but Amile Jefferson had his second straight solid game scoring 6 point and grabbing 10 rebounds providing the Blue Devils a big spark off the bench. At times he was all over the place flying in for rebounds and diving on the floor. Jefferson was so impressive in stretches that there are rumblings calling for Jefferson to move into the starting lineup and it would be hard to argue with that after Thursday night.
Duke's star, Mason Plumlee struggled in the first half scoring only 6 points on 2 of 12 shooting as Duke went into the half-time locker room trailing for just the third time all season. The Blue Devils National Player of the Year candidate, however, managed to come on strong in the second half inspiring 65-year-old Mike Krzyzewski to leap from the bench run on to the court and do a pseudo jump into his star players arms after one strong sequence.
Plumlee finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds . Seth Curry who was a bit of a question mark after spraining his foot in the loss to NC State showed few signs of the injury as he torched Georgia Tech to the tune of 24 points including hitting 6 of 7 from behind the arc. Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon also broke out of his recent slump and finished the game with 15 points, a big improvement over his inconsistent play over the last month.
Still the big story of the game would have to be Duke's performance in the second half which saw a much more inspired looking performance. Spurred on by Jefferson's hustle the Blue Devils picked things up on the defensive end as well as the offensive end and showed signs that perhaps they are starting to get a feel for how they need to play without Kelly in the lineup.
The good news coming from some sources close to Duke indicate there is a possibility that Kelly may make it back into the lineup by February. Again those are just rumblings right now but if true that is a good sign for Duke, still if the Blue Devils can put more performances together like those in the second half then they will be all the better for it.

I was out wandering in the hills at sunset the other night. The clouds were rolling in from the Pacific below me, blotting out most of the signs of civilisation.
And I climbed- up to the area that I call the dragon's back, though it has another name that is much more boring. I much prefer to pretend that I'm clambering along the spines of some great big slumbering beast that could take off at any moment. Up at the top, the sandy rocks create these perfect seat spots, where you can watch the light go red, and the clouds rushing and turning, and feel the wind whip your hair around your face, and pretend to be alone even though there's a big big city down there somewhere…
As I was walking up there, this aroma kept hitting me. Like grapefruit and lemon blossoms and sugar had a flowery baby. And I'd stand there in the middle of the trail sniffing at the air wondering where it was coming from. I happened upon a yucca plant close to the trail as I came around the corner. They're everywhere here at this time of year- when you look out over a landscape you can see their tall white blossom-covered stalks standing out like alien sentinels, standing on guard.
And honestly, I had no idea that they smelled like this. I've seen them all the time. I knew that they were edible in entirety- I remember having a conversation with a Cahuilla Indian who told me that they'd dig up the root and build an underground fire pit and roast them for about 24 hours until they were sweet and soft, and that it was the most delicious thing ever. But it had never appealed to me; I was always much more interested in plants for medicine than for food. Until I smelled them.
What I wanted was to capture that smell. That delicate blossomy smell that made me want to roll around in a spiky plant like my cat does with catnip. The only recipes I found were savoury. I assume because the flowers taste slightly bitter, and have a meaty texture to them that would be awfully nice in savoury things. But I wanted something sweet. Because if you can't tell by now, I have a sweet tooth.
I figured that if I started a syrup then I could do any number of things with it. Like drizzle it on french toast, or stir it through vanilla ice cream, or over fruit salad. So that's what I've done. Since I've been getting into this whole alcohol thing lately, I think I might try some sort of cocktail with it. Maybe even tonight. I apologise in advance for anything funny that I say on twitter
This couldn't be easier. Once you've got the yucca blossoms, that is. Try and pick fresh young ones, as the older ones tend to collect bugs and get very sticky. And try and pick them from a short plant because that's much easier- though you can always just pull the stalk towards you and pluck them off that way.
Yucca syrup
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
4 cups yucca blossoms
Bring the water and sugar to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Place the blossoms in a mason jar, and pour the syrup over the top. Cover and let sit for a couple of days. Strain and bottle. This should keep in the fridge for over 6 months, as the sugar is a great preservative.

The latest inclusion to the Microsoft Office family is Sway. Sway is a web-based presentation app, which was developed by Microsoft and is now available to users. On the first of October 2014, this was included as a part of Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft developed this app in order to help people create content faster so that they can easily come up with a wonderful presentation. As it is the initial stages, the beta version is available to the public on the basis of invitation. The features available with Sway is limited for the time being; hence people will not have much options in the way in which they can format and create presentations. Get to know more about Sway from Microsoft help line.
Sway is unique in the way it works. The good news is that recently Bing Search was included in Sway. This would help Sway collect the necessary information from Bing Search. Now, this is no way similar to the usual web image insertion. But, this is one of the methods, in which the software giant is trying to develop next generation tools. Here is how it works. When the user chooses a media, he or she will get a list of suggestions on a pane that slides in from the left. These search image topics are purely based on the content, which has been added to Sway. Users have the option to select one of the words from the list.
Microsoft Office Suite
Microsoft Office Web Applications
Usually when we search for images it can be quite tricky, even if you find the right of the best quality, it necessarily be of the right size. There might be issues with the copyright. But when it comes to Sway along with the inclusion of Bing, the images that you get would be such that they are of the right size along with quality and pictures that are under Creative Commons licenses. The search result will have only those messages, which will not pose any copyright violation. While the search result is formulated in such a way, users also have an option to click on View All to see the rest of the images.
The words that top the list of suggestions are the ones that are the most accurate to the content. Words can either be picked from the list or it can be generated through machine learning. Microsoft help line says that users can get an invite to use the app through an invitation sent by Sway website.
