Topic: Is surgery always the answer?
Hi All
It is good to see so many positive people on this website. Good attitude has got to be half the battle hasn't it?
My father and brother both died of Cc (Dad 4 years ago, brother a year ago) both with cancer in the biliary tree.
Having seen some of your comments about treatment i think CC presents some really difficult choices about what to do for the best. The main point of my note is the choice of whether to have invasive surgery or not.
My father (69) decided not to have any surgery having been persuaded by doctors that it wasn't worth it... their argument being that because of the location of the cancer, trying to do a resection or transplant is not often possible or even successful. As my father had already had two colon resections (one in each of the previous decades) i can understand that he was fed up with the whole idea of more surgery...and he decided to call it a day. He lasted 18months to 2 years after that having had a couple of stents put in during that time to aleviate the jaundice, itching etc etc.
Can't say i blame him too much for this...after all he had to put up with more than most in his lifetime...though i am kind of sad that he never got to see my three children and to be honset i did harbour a little bitterness with the decision he made at the time.
My brother told me about his CC on the day of my fathers funeral (he had CC in exactly the same place) though he was aged 49 at the time. He decided to opt for surgery (which was a bit of a punt) given that he was fairly young and still had teenage daughters and maybe had more to lose than my dad.
Problem with my brothers decision was that they found they couldn't do anything for him (after they had opened him up)by way of resection or transplant and, i think this is my point, it set him back in a lot of ways. It reduced life expectancy, his quality of life and exposed him to a good deal of pain and suffering that my father avoided (more exposure to infection, pain from surgery etc etc).
All i would say is that some times no intervention is the best treatment. I know this may not sound very positive to some of you...and a few years ago i felt very differently... don't be afraid to say enough is enough.
Good luck and God Bless to all of you suffering from this very nasty illness.

European Drug Prevention Prize - 2010
Photo Gallery
Video of the ceremony
The award ceremony of the 4th European Drug Prevention Prize took place on Wednesday 3 November 2010 in Strasbourg during the Pompidou Group's 15th Ministerial Conference. The Prize was awarded to three projects for their innovative work in drug prevention with the active involvement and participation of youth.
Prior to this event, a jury of 6 young people from Finland, Ireland, Lithuania, Malta, Russian Federation and Turkey examined 80 applications from 26 European countries and selected those projects they considered to be the most innovative. 11 other projects which they found interesting and worthwhile promoting were given a certificate of recognition for their work.
The 2010 Prize-winners are:
« Energy Control » in Barcelona (Spain)
Energy Control (EC) is a project that consists in peer-to-peer interventions, school workshops, and the use of new technologies (telephone, email, websites, internet discussion forums, etc.) to both prevent drug use and reduce the risks associated with drug use. The group provides support not only to young people who use drugs in their leisure time, but also to people who are not drug users but who have friends or family members who are (including parents). Groups of young volunteers trained by EC set up stalls at parties which provide information on drugs, drug testing (both on site at the parties and, for more elaborate analysis, in their laboratories), and advice on how to use drugs as safely as possible – including breathalyzer alcohol tests. Energy Control also does prevention work in schools and trains other professionals or volunteers within other organisations.

« 'RecceR' Resilience Coaching » in Ghent (Belgium)
'RecceR' Resilience Coaching focuses on building resilience (the universal capacity which allows a person, group or community to prevent, minimize or overcome the damaging effects of adversity) in young people who suffer from EBD (emotional and behavioural disorders). To do so, the group designed a game which relies on the identification of 3 monsters (aggression, impulsivity, and low self-esteem). The main character of the game, Billy, is held prisoner by these monsters. The youngsters play the game to acquire 'resilience' skills which will allow them to combat the monsters and free Billy. To acquire these skills, the youngsters rely on 3 in-game coaches, the magician, the adventurer and the warrior. The skills include the capacity to solve problems as a group, concentration skills, tolerance, and respect.

« Smoke & Mirrors » in Manchester (United
Smoke and Mirrors attempts to draw young people's attention to the negative practices of the tobacco industry and encourages them to challenge these as a way of dissuading them to start or encourage them to stop smoking. It does so by launching a film competition and by organising 'campaign weekends' which serve not only to raise awareness but also to develop the youngsters' skills and self-confidence. Media coverage as well as online campaigns (facebook, twitter, and other websites) are also used as tools. As an additional device to attract youth's attention, Smoke and Mirrors has engaged the support of celebrity ambassadors from Hollyoak, the only non-smoking soap.

Dear All,
It is said that vedanā that is experienced at eye-base is only neutral. What happens when we look directly at the sun? It feels painful. If I put any other body part, such as an arm, it does feel bad. It can actually be felt as warm and pleasant. But if I look at the sun, there is unpleasant experience. Can somebody explain this please?
With best wishes,

Hunter could return to Orioles on Sunday
BALTIMORE -- Tommy Hunter threw a scoreless inning for Lower Class A Delmarva on a rehab assignment Saturday night, and the reliever could be back with the Orioles on Sunday.
Hunter, who has been on the disabled list since May 22 with a groin strain, pitched the second inning against Lakewood and had two strikeouts and a hit batsman. He threw 11 pitches, eight for strikes. He has a 1-1 record with a 6.06 ERA this season.
The right-hander began the season as the team's closer, but appears to have lost the job to Zach Britton after blowing three saves. Hunter has 11 saves and pitched well at times, but struggled in recent late-game appearances.

From time to time, the Local History and Genealogy department receives requests for a list of Springfield Mayors. The following information is predominately from an article in Springfield! Magazine, March 1999, p. 36. The Mayor's political affiliation, when found, was from biographies in Greene County Histories online and obituaries published in Springfield newspapers. The photograph of Sempronius Boyd is courtesy of United States Library of Congress Prints and Photographs.
The first seven mayors on the list were elected by vote. After J. W. Mack, the mayors were appointed by the Springfield City Council. Once the new city charter was approved in 1953, mayors were again elected to office. During the civil war era, 1861-65, "six military officers …[serving] on both sides (Union and Confederate) in the Civil War, ruled Springfield under martial law".

Product Description
Each line comes with a selection of interchangeable tips that allow anglers to switch tips as fishing and water conditions change. A unique mending and handling section at the back end of the head enables anglers to mend effectively and control the the fly fishes at range. Ultra strong, slim welded loops on the front of each tip makes for super-fast rigging. A loop on the front end allws angers to change rigs quickly. Built with a supple coldwater coating , this line will not tangle off the reel.
About Rio Fly Line Technologies:
Every fly fisherman is looking for a slicker line, and for good reason. Slicker line means longer casts, which is something all anglers strive to achieve. XS Technology is the latest development from RIO's lab coats that focuses on creating an ultra slick line, with dirt-repelling tendencies.
XS (Extreme Slickness) Technology began when RIO's chemists began reformulating conventional chemical combinations. Although RIO's formulas were great, our scientists are fly fishers, and by definition they want an even slicker fly line - it's just part of the deal. So first, they tackled the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating and through intense scrutiny down to the polymeric mix level, (say that 10 times fast) they defined some fundamental limitations. Out went the old PVC/silicone formulas and by methodically adding a little more of this, a little less of that, and a pinch of secret sauce, the lab coats cooked up a completely new and improved recipe.
With XS Technology, RIO has developed a fly line that is slicker, more stable, and far less apt to attract dirt, and paired with AgentX Technology, it engineers a line that is less dense, casts further and more accurately, floats higher, lasts longer, and offers more consistent performance cast after cast, strike after strike, fish after fish.
Traditional, single-layer fly lines have to compromise between function and the need for durability and slickness. AgentX Technology makes the old compromise obsolete by bonding two separate coating layers onto one line.
This proprietary process allows RIO line designers to optimize the specific performance of each line. For example, AgentX floating lines can use an inner layer with more buoyant microspheres, while the outer layer is formulated for maximum toughness and shooting ability. AgentX means the best of both worlds in a single fly line.
- Each line is packaged with four 15ft tips:
- Floating
- Clear Intermediate (1.5 - 2ips)
- Type 3 Sink (3 - 4ips)
- Type 6 sink (6 - 7ips)

NEW YORK, NY - In the final game of the day on Saturday at the Big Apple Invitational, South Shore took on Princeton Day Academy of Maryland in a game that featured two future Big East point guards inTerrence Samuel who is headed to UConn, and Aquille Carr, the Seton Hall bound speedster.
Princeton Day may have had a size advantage on the inside, but South Shore showed toughness and heart to never quit, and the Vikings got some key buckets late, including a drive by Samuel with 2 seconds left to help them pull out the 64-63 victory.
South Shore got out of the block quick with Shamiek Sheppard using his athleticism on the inside to help avoid contact and finish at the rim. Samuel, while struggling to find his perimeter shot, was quick into the lane and seemed to have no problem getting into the lane and finishing or creating against the long and athletic Storm defenders. Led by Sheppard's 8 first quarter points the Vikings took a 21-18 lead after 1.
The 2nd saw a more aggressive pressure defense being applied by Princeton Day, and Jerron Martin was the one who seemed to thrive getting out to the wings and being the beneficiary of Carr's passes out to the wings hitting 2 triples in the quarter.Emmanuel Omogbo also was a key factor in the 2nd, grabbing 5 boards and finishing on a couple put backs that saw the tempo swing in favor of the Storm, but it was all even at 31 going into the break.
Carr had a quiet 8 points at the half and seemed to struggle with the trapping defense that South Shore seemed to apply every time he touched the ball. Donnell Clayton and Doudmy St. Hilaire were the primary defenders who stifled Carr, and they continued doing a great job in the 3rd as Carr was either forcing up poor shots, or driving into lanes that just were not there for him. David Tait was more than holding his own against the front line of Princeton Day and a three by Clayton late in the 3rd helped South Shore take a 47-45 lead into the 4th.
Things looked as if they would south for South Shore midway through the 4th when Samuel was called for a foul on Carr that would send the dynamic guard to the line for 2 shots tied at 52, but a technical foul was called on Vikings coach Mike Beckles as well so all in all it would be 4 FT's plus the ball for Princeton Day in a tie game with just over 4 minutes to play, it could've been end game right there, but Carr missed both his FT's and Martin went 1 of 2 with his two, and after Carr missed a wing three, all that possession cost South Shore was 1 point which could've been viewed by many as a victory.
The fast paced play from start to finish was a tempo that the Storm seemed to be dictating but late in the game it seemed as if South Shore had no problem playing at that pace either. After Carr slashed threw 3 defenders to score on a layup in the lane, Princeton Day had a 61-59 lead with a minute to go, but South Shore got down the floor and Samuel kicked it out to the right corner where Hilaire banged in a wide open three to put the Vikings up 62-61 with 35 seconds to go. Carr was doubled on the perimeter on the ensuing possession so he found Martin on the left wing and he took it down the lane and was fouled with 7.5 seconds to play. With a house full of fans booing Martin loudly he calmly sank both FT's to put the Storm up again 63-62. South Shore called a timeout to set up a play, but everyone in the house knew this was Samuel's time to shine.
Shine he did as off the timeout he took the ball straight down the lane going the length of the floor in 5 seconds to score on a contested layup with 2 seconds to play. Without any timeouts left Carr had no choice but to heave up a 55 footer that fell short and South Shore had pulled off the big time win 64-63 as their fans and teamsters stormed the court in joy.
Samuel came up with a huge game finishing with 21 points and 5 assists, but most important doing up huge just when his team needed him most. Sheppard added 14 and 6 rebounds, while Tait had 8 points and 12 rebounds in the win as well.
The game winning shot seemed to bring out a lot of emotion from the usually reserved Samuel, but the emotion was because of how big the win was Samuel explained.
"It was a game winning shot and those are always special." Samuel said. "It was also big win because we felt we went in as the underdog and didn't feel like people expected us to win so for us it was special."
In defeat Carr led Princeton Day with 22 points, but shot just 5-22, and just 2 of 14 in the 2nd half. Omogbo was a physical force inside though finishing with 11 points and 13 rebounds in the loss.
Thomas Jefferson 66- Coolidge (DC) 53
The Orange Wave pulled away late from a stingy Coolidge team that kept the game close for most of the game until Jermoine Faison stepped up with a huge 4th quarter to seal the deal.
Faison had 19 points, 12 of which came in the all important 4th quarter to lead Jefferson, with Mike Watson also contributing 11.David Kadiri led all scorer with 21 points for Coolidge in defeat.
St. Frances (MD) 51- Curtis 46
Curtis jumped out quickly going up by as many 16 in the 1st half, but the pressure applied by St. Frances in the 2nd half proved to be too much and wore down the Warriors late en route to helping the Panthers close strong for the hard fought win.
Tavon Saddler led St. Frances with 15 points, while highly regarded junior Dwayne Morgan added 14 points and 7 rebounds. Hassan Martin did all he could do in defeat pacing Curtis with 15 points and 14 rebounds.
Wings Academy 73- East Boston (MA) 30
In the biggest route of the day Wings was led by the 18 points and 8 rebounds of Jaequan Brown. East Boston was highlighted by the 15 points of Will March.
Bayside 69- Half Hollow Hills West 57
Daquaise Andrews had a breakout game finishing with a game high 25 points and 16 rebounds in the win for the Commodores. Hills West in the loss was led by Jamir Blackman who had 21 points.

"Home Run!"
Decidedly the best one yet! and I know I say this about every last one that comes out but.. Michelle fascinates me with the stories. Tying the lose ends from each book on the next and always leaving something to be wondered. I love it!!! I am definitely looking forward to the next one and excited to see what's gonna come of the new introduced character.
That it's going in a direction in which Kaylin's character is growing (though slowly - and this, in my opinion, due to the fact that not a lot of time passes between each book/story). I love that the main character's feelings are getting exposed and that there's indication something might happen in that aspect. I look forward to and hope for some
I've listened to all the cast books. I started with the Free novella, which is was a genius promoting idea, I might add! I would probably never thought of downloading these books if it wasn't for that. Once I did though, I was captivated by Khristine Hvam's voice and performance. The story was great and KH really brought it to life. I hope she narrates all of Michelle's books.. I will certainly by them all!
I actually almost did! I was completely
Phenomenal! Buy it, buy it, buy it!!!
"Loved it!!"
Have been waiting for this audiobook for a few weeks. I love the story, and the narrator does a good job with the voices.
I heard Khristine Hvam actually sat down with Michelle Sagara to plan the characters voices out with the books, and she does a great job. Another narrator that can voice act all the characters so you know who is saying what.
The story is once again very good. One thing I like about this series is you never know what the next book is actually going to be about, though she gives you hints, I thought it would be about the strangers and that egg from what small plots she didn't finish in the last book, and I was somewhat right, but of course that is a small part of the book.
I can't wait till the next one is out, I hope Audible releases it the day the actual book is released.
Love fantasy books, usually with a strong female character. I also enjoyed just about anything from J.D Robb I am a fan of mysteries as well. I also enjoy funny and quirky novels anything from Molly Harper is a winner in my book. Since listening to audio books is important to me while I travel I also follow certain narrators as well.
"All Grown Up..."
I was low on credits and looking for something new. I tend to stick squarely to romance novels, and vampires, witches, and werewolves. Needless to say I was browsing free novellas and came across Cast in Moonlight. It was soon that I was hooked, it still was a fantasy and it dealt with a side of the supernatural I had yet to consider. I have now read every book in the series, and I am aching for more. What a good storyline. I feel like I know Kaylin I am empathic to her cause, and I still feel on the edge of my seat with each new book. It's such and interesting way to picture a fictional world, and what it would be like to have to deal with the day to day in a time an place unlike ours. The storyline is deep, and funny, giving way to a strong willed child and her life as see grows into a formidable women. Each new book builds on the last, however unlike most series of books, the ending doesn't leave you hanging. Michelle closes it up in such a way that you want more, but you also know that this portion of Kaylin life is complete.
"Rebound from chaos"
Belastaia is a good new character. I love the interaction between Belastaia and Kaylin at the end of the novel. I'm looking forward to a great heroine duo in future additions in the series.
Yes, several others. Khristine Hvam does a great job in all the narrations.
I didn't really care for
"AMAZINGLY Good Start to the Series!"
Stunned How Good (it was)
Very hard to say. Obviously it should be the main character, Meryn, but my favorite was actually the "dead woman".....I enjoyed the entire book, which for someone with hundreds of books in my library (member since 2004 or 2005) seldom occurs. But the ending left me dying to see how life goes on for the smart mouthed "chosen one".goes on with her new roomie.
The narrator has a nice cadence and voice. It helps alot to have her humor, including snorts and giggles come through the narrator's reading. The only reason I didn't give her 5 stars is that she uses the same accent for anyone who isn't "human". The dragons have the same accent as anyone else who isn't human (and they all sound like their from Jamaica, maaan). That irritated me a bit, as I was listenening while working and often couldn't keep up with who was speaking. Otherwise, she brings the story to life.
It made me want to buy MORE BOOKS! I bought this to try at the reduced price and started the series with book 7. After trying so many other of the new fantasy series authors that have become wildly popular, I was amazed that this book stood out as just BETTER than what I've been listening to. I just downloaded the first book (although I wanted the second one reading the story) and looked at how many credits it's going to take me to get through the series. This book reminds me of trying the first Sookie Stackhouse when it came out and being amazed by the idea/series, or the very beginning of the Eve Dallas books (by #33, I still listen but it's getting old), or the first Vorkosigan book (Shards of Honor) by Bujold.
I hope the rest of the series continues to keep me as happy as those series do/did. I hope Sagara can keep me this impressed for a long time!
When is the new installment coming? Tell me this was a teaser for the upcoming (soon) release of book 8.
"This whole series is a great read"
Loved every book in this series, It catches the imagination and holds it. The writer proves that you can write a gripping story and hold the readers interest without having to resort to lurid sex scenes or vulgar language (although there are a lot of references to Liontine swears, we just never hear them) I highly reccomend starting at the beginning and going right through the series.
"Always a new element"
I love that this book added a new element to the series. I can't wait to listen to the book!
I love books. hate reviewing books because I hate reiterating what many other's have said. I hate spoiling a review.
"Kaylin... - oh just read it!"
this series is one of my favorites. I have listened to the whole series multiple times. I have re-read it even more times. I will do so again before the next book.
Marcus, Sanabalis, Archon, Tiamaris, Severn, Nightshade, ... oh, everyone.
Marcus, As I Keep Repeating.
I do in every one of this series' books
Buy them, you won't regret it.
"Good, but should have been great"
The premise is amazing. I absolutely love the idea behind this book, but I don't feel like it was executed as well as it could have been. There was a lot of Kaylin standing around at the climax of the book. No one wants to read about their hero being frozen at the highlight of the novel.
I like all of her Elantra books. I thought Cast in Silence started off slowly, then got interesting. I thought Cast in Ruin started off interesting then got irritating.
I sometimes have trouble reading the books. I got stuck on Cast in Silence and to this day have not finished reading the e-book. For some reason, it is easier for me to listen the gargantuan amount of description rather than reading it.Kristine's reading definitely brings the books to another level for me. I really do like the voice that she does for Severn
Absolutely and it already has one. The egg is up next and then things really start to get interesting.
I would have given this book 4 or even 5 stars if it hadn't dragged at the end. I had a hard time listening to the end of this book, so I was left with a slightly bad taste in my mouth.
Don Christiansen
"A great book, but..."
This is up there with her best; if you can get past all the profanity. Where did that come from? none of her other books that I've read/listened to have any profanity. Just hard to recommend this one.

I've been reading all the threads and the comment'.....well if you were a real fan....' comes up alot.
What is a real fan.
Alot of people are accused of not being called a real fan when they back one player more than others, but isn't the point of being a fan connecting with the players? So, if I become attached to one player more than the others, am I a real fan?
According to some people, No.

Not since Duranty, people, has a news organization been so horrifically wrong. On Saturday, the L.A. Times gave more credence to this execrable fiction than it has ever afforded a conservative leader or politician.
Shouldn't this assertion at least be attributed to some deluded hipster kid who has convinced a handful of people in Silver Lake that a 1994 middle-aged hippie dad is an inspiring fashion icon? Let's not give it the imprimatur of a straight-up assertion of fact in a headline.
The combination of sandals and socks has long been seen as a major footwear faux pas.
And, as recently as last year when British department store Debenhams polled 1,500 customers on what they felt was the most egregious of all fashion offenses, sandals with socks ranked No. 1 — beating out platform shoes for men and scrunchies.
But proving that fashion is often wildly unpredictable, wearing sandals with socks is no longer a fashion misstep. This season, it's suddenly a trend embraced by celebrities and fashion industry insiders who are pairing their Birkenstocks, clogs and even open-toed high-heel sandals with ankle-length socks.
The story offers as an example of this hot trend catching fi-yah, the Olsen twins donning gold Birkenstocks with ankle socks. And, although I admire the Olsen twins for their astounding entertainment alchemy—a catch phrase coupled with very little charisma became a billion-dollar business—they are the quintessential fashion plates of the Derelicte set. A barometer for determining the upper limit of silly crap the very richest of people will be wearing this season. Let's hope this trend remains there, where it belongs.
But the author of this piece thinks this baby's going mainstream. She closes with an equally horrific assertion:
Better hold on to those scrunchies, because you really just never know.
Okay, now she's just screwing with me.

Hello everyone, my name is Lisbeth and have just joined this interesting forum. I have just purchased the Canon MP210 AIO which states it is capable of being able to print labels direct on to disc but as much as I look for it I cannot see the instructions as to where one places the disc for printing on the MP210. Can someone please assist? Thank you kindly
Hi Lisbeth, I don't have an MP210 - but I took a look on the Canon web-site. The spec for the 210 is available on the following link :
According to that the MP210 doesn't support direct CD/DVD printing, which my be why you can't find somewhere to put the disks.

8 years ago he had thyroid cancer...he survived (Back diving in 3 months)
6 years ago - heart stent procedure (went back diving after 3 months)
5 years ago he had a love bite from a reefie....he survived (after 3 hours working on him feverishly to stop the bleeding - went back diving with the same sharks 3 months later)
Now...he is fighting stomach cancer - while the operation in itself went well, this morning he had a collapse and had to be induced into a sleep (not coma). His heart was irregular, lungs taking on some water - he has been stabilized. Turns out now he may have an infection, so he is now receiving new antibiotics. He will likely be in this sleep for a few days, the Doctor says he is critical but stable. We need to wait a few days while he remains in this sleep recovering - may be a good thing, when he was awake he was stressing and nervous.
So you see - my father is anything but Superman, survivor and fighter yes - he did promised me that we would be diving in Tiger Beach this June (or November considering the recovery)...I also think he has some other work that he need to finish...
During section where we are filming ourselves notice we interrupt as the first Tiger came

Our thoughts and hearts are with Wolf, you and the rest of your family. You are very correct, your father has much more work to do... Always remember that those that do amazing things start with their amazing triumphs in themselves.
I am sure he just needed a way to relax his mind and dream about his (other) babies while he can't be with them!
- Hanli Prinsloo said...
Felix, please tell Wolf I am thinking of him every day as I dive here in the Blue Hole in Dahab. We spoke about it once and we still have dreams to freedive together, tell him I'm holding on to every one!
So much love...
- Felix Leander said...
Hanli - I will send your comment to my mom and she will read it to him...when are we going to freedive?
- the One called "Bitey".... said...
All the very best to you - I can't wait until I can actually dive with you and your dad.
Wolf may not be Superman, but he sounds a little like Indiana Jones or John McLean - life can pound on them but they'll always stand up and bite back. Way cooler than Superman.

Blades of Time getting limited edition release ... Bahahaha!
Remember how Blades of Time sucked? That game was laughably bad, and it really had nothing going for it. I mean, we all love a wonderfully endowed blonde, but this game was terrible.
Now, though, it looks like Blades of Time is getting a special limited edition release. That's right, a bad game is being bundled with a bunch of crap, even though pretty much everyone is aware that the game is horrible.
Blades of Time: Limited Edition (hahaha!) will launch for PC and Mac, though these versions aren't being published by Konami. The game will include an art book, soundtrack, wallpapers, a map of Sky Islands, and the Dismal Swamp DLC.
So ... umm ... yeah, Blades of Time: Limited Edition is a thing, folks. Who's thinking of buying it? Anyone?

Khomotso Manyaka The "Life, Above All" Interview
Khomotso Manyaka was born in 1996 in Elandsdoorn, South Africa, which is where she caught the eye of talent scouts while performing with a church choir. Encouraged to audition for the film "Life, Above All," she ended up landing the picture's pivotal lead role of Chanda.
Khomotso proved to be a natural in front of the camera, and went on to earn the Best Actress Award at the Durban International Film Festival for her stunning debut performance. Life, Above All also made a big splash at Cannes, where it won the Francois Chalais Prize for life affirmation and journalism.
The compelling, character-driven drama revolves around a 12 year-old girl who summons up the courage to fight the fear and shame poisoning relationships among members of her tight-knit community in the wake of an AIDS outbreak. Directed by South African filmmaker Oliver Schmitz, the movie is based on the award-winning novel Chanda's Secrets by Allan Stratton. Here, Khomotso talks about the picture which recently premiered at the Human Rights Watch Festival and will be arriving in theaters on July 15.
SENTINEL: What interested you in Life, Above All?
KM: That the movie has a strong and powerful message to all people, and the bonding and love between the mother and daughter.
SENTINEL: Tell me a little about the movie.
KM: It's about a young girl called Chanda who wants to bring people together, through the struggle against HIV/AIDS.
SENTINEL: How would you describe your character, Chanda?
KM: She's a strong, intelligent, well behaved girl.
SENTINEL: What message do you hope people will take away from the film?
KM: It is that they must not keep secrets and that they must learn to be open with their families.
SENTINEL: Legist/Editor Patricia Turnier asks: What was the most challenging aspect of playing Chanda?
KM: It wasn't challenging, but I learned a lot from it.
SENTINEL: Patricia has a follow-up: What does it mean to you to receive so much recognition and praise for your work at such a young age?
KM: It is fun and I enjoy that they really admire me.
SENTINEL: Harriet Pakula Teweles says: Congratulations on your much deserved Best Actress award at the Durban International Film Festival. When such a prestigious award goes to a 13 year-old, how does it change what would be your teen years, socially and professionally?
KM: Well, I don't think I would change, but I know that I would be seen as an example in South Africa.
SENTINEL: Harriet also asks: How much of the story in Life, Above All was outside of your real-life experiences growing up and how much was already familiar to you and part of your awareness?
KM: The familiar part is that I also have three siblings, but it's only boys. I am also a first born at home.
SENTINEL: Finally, Harriet says: Knowing that child stars very often get caught up in being a celebrity too early, what 'stabilizers' exist for you to keep you from having that too intense time in the spotlight?
KM: I think I need to be more careful in what I do in the public, so as to prevent people from talking or writing negative things about me.
SENTINEL: Attorney Bernadette Beekman says: Congratulations on the Best Actress award. Had you ever acted professionally before you won the casting call for Life Above All?
KM: No, I have never acted before this. This was the first time acting, and the first time I was ever in a movie.
SENTINEL: Bernadette has a few follow-ups. First: I see that you will be continuing your acting studies. Is there any one actress whose career you would like to emulate?
KM: I would like to be like Harriet Manamela. She acted the part of the neighbor in the movie, or like Lerato Mvelase, who played my mother.
SENTINEL: Next, she asks: Before working on this film, were you already aware of the fallout of AIDS in terms of the social ostracism of the victims and their family members?
KM: I knew about AIDS for a long time because my mom is an HIV/AIDS counselor. We talk about it a lot.
SENTINEL: Lastly, Bernadette would like to know if you would you consider being an actor/activist to promote education about AIDS, based on the problems outlined in the film and the book?
KM: Yes! Because it would help people who don't know about HIV/AIDS.
SENTINEL: Are you ever afraid?
KM: Well, everyone gets afraid sometime or other, but when it comes to having opportunities like being famous, I get afraid because I won't be able to live my life and I won't live freely.
SENTINEL: When was the last time you had a good laugh?
KM: All the time.
SENTINEL: What was the last book you read?
KM: Twilight, Eclipse.
SENTINEL: What are you listening to on your iPod?
KM: I don't have an iPod, but I usually listen to R&B on my phone.
SENTINEL: What is your favorite dish to cook?
KM: Well… I looooove South Africa's traditional food.
SENTINEL: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
KM: I see a child of God, successful, talented, beautiful, well behaved, trust worthy.
SENTINEL: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?
KM: I would wish that everyone could believe in God as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
SENTINEL: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
KM: To work hard for what you want and trust that God is the way and the key to success.
SENTINEL: Who's at the top of your hero list?
KM: My mom.
SENTINEL: How do you want to be remembered?
KM: As an honest, loving, funny and well behaved girl, and as a good role model.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Donovan Johnson rushed for 141 yards on 36 attempts to lead a run-oriented Wofford offense that defeated Georgia Southern 30-20 on Saturday night.
Wofford (2-1, 2-0 Southern) won its home opener against Georgia Southern (2-1, 0-1), giving the Eagles a loss in the first game of their last season as a conference member.
A Torrance Hunt touchdown run in the second quarter gave Georgia Southern its only lead at 14-10. But Wofford responded with three unanswered scores to build a 30-14 lead and held on for the win.
Jonny Martin scored two rushing touchdowns for the Terriers to compliment Johnson's ground game as Wofford pulled away in the second half.
Wofford rushed 67 times compared with 9 passing attempts. Jeff Ashley caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from Michael Weimer to highlight the Terriers' limited passing game.
Jerick McKinnon had 114 yards rushing and two scores to lead the Eagles.

Alright, why don't we try no-[inherent]-thingness. Is that working for you yet?
I know all of these words are imperfect translations but maybe if you explain why you prefer no-thingness. Personally I prefer empty of inherent existence but in the context of what conebeckham is saying in the other thread: that conceptual mind cannot know reality.

Hardcore material representative of Hip Hop made in the mid-to-late '90s has been taking a beating in some circles. Somewhat backhanded phrases like "Rappity-Rap" and "boom bap" epitomize aggressive, multisyllabic, Rap infused with similes and metaphors accented with sample-based production. Army of the Pharaohs rarely (if ever) give off the appearance of being threatened by this stigma, in part, because their individual and collective careers originated from that era. Some 16 years later, after multiple lineup changes and over a decade of watching Rap evolve (or devolve…depending on your perspective), AOTP splits their time between simultaneously preserving Hip Hop's Golden Era and asserting their current relevance by competitively out-rhyming each other.
The open secret among fans of The Demigodz, Jedi Mind Tricks, Army of the Pharaohs and their collective peers is listeners can consistently expect a complimentary mix of abrasive rhymes and production. They more than deliver on that front. On "Visual Camouflage," Juan Muteniac flips a guitar break and vocal sample from Adrian Younge's "Turn Down The Sound," adds in some additional electric guitars, and Apathy provides his usual, technically precise, violent, tongue-in-cheek bars.
"I will murk you, murder you / Turn you burgundy with the burner / Burst your bubble, snuff you, uppercut you like you had the nerve to / Touch a Kurdish virgin in a burka / Yelling Durka Durka," the self-proclaimed "Honkey Kong" rhymes.
The collective references to lost civilizations such as Sumerians and Ancient Egypt are far from coincidental. While AOTP doesn't date back to the Bronze Age, they do embrace elements of Hip Hop that have become less popular in recent years. There are hints of horrorcore, as Celph Titled plays dodgeball with severed heads on "God Particle," and Vinnie Paz offers the sharp end of a jailhouse shiv and piss to his enemies on "Luxor Temple." The one area where In Death Reborn arguably stumbles is when the focus shifts from internal competition and artistically raising the bar to extensive criticism about Rap's current state and Golden Era romanticism.
"I don't listen to the music that you herbs create / Soft mothafuckas sound like you rehearse with Drake / It's wearin' on me, I don't know how much my nerves can take / I guess being a bitch requires certain tastes," Vinnie rhymes on "Broken Safeties." He's not particularly wrong here. And the chances of an overlap between Drake fans and AOTP fans are slim to none. But conceptually the album's material is much more enjoyable when the group focuses such energy on leading by example and venturing outside of their comfort zones. Between Vinnie Paz sparking the competitive cypher feel of "God Particle" and the darkly melodic "Azrael," there are enough instances of experimentation and raw talent to push In Death Reborn into superior album territory. Casual fans and newcomers can make a valid claim the album is rather insular, but they're most likely not the target demographic. As the title suggests, the Golden Era may be long gone, but creative types will always find ways to incorporate certain elements into today's material to keep pushing the art form forward.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office has finished its investigation of a shuttered used car dealership on State Road 200, all but ending criminal proceedings against Wise Way Auto Sales Inc.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office has finished its investigation of a shuttered used car dealership on State Road 200, all but ending criminal proceedings against Wise Way Auto Sales Inc.
Judge Cochran, spokesman for the Marion County Sheriff's Office, said the agency's investigation spanned April 26 to June 11 and helped 26 Wise Way customers with "bank loans, consignments and rental car issues."
According to detectives, Wise Way made about $322,000 in restitution in the case, Cochran said.
"Everyone satisfied," he wrote in an email. "The case is closed."
Wise Way shut its doors, padlocked its lot and surrendered its license to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, commonly known as the DMV, in April.
Customers' complaints against Wise Way include: The dealership did not provide them with title and registration for the cars they bought; Wise Way did not pay off the notes of vehicles they traded in; the dealership trafficked in bogus registration orders, buyers' orders and other documents, with one woman claiming her signature was forged on paperwork; and Wise Way told buyers to bring cars back for carmakers' recalls that turned out to be nonexistent, so it could present the cars as unsold to its inventory finance companies, known in the industry as "floorplanners," and avoid paying for the sold cars.
Wise Way still faces civil legal action from the floorplanners. Alphera Financial Services of Dublin, Ohio, a division of BMW Financial Services, North America, LLC, has filed a suit against Wise Way, according to Marion County court records. Automotive Finance Corp. of Carmel, Indiana, filed a civil suit earlier. NextGear Capital, another Carmel-based floorplanner, did not divulge any plans the Star-Banner.
Wise Way officials have not responded to repeated requests for interviews. The company's lone statement on the case came in an email to the Star-Banner on May 8 attributed to David Wise, president, who founded the company with his son, John, in 1998.
"Unfortunately, Wise Way Auto Sales Inc. is having financial difficulties," David Wise's statement read. "We are here doing our best to work through these difficult times with our valued customers and vendors. We have been regularly communicating with our customers and other creditors working hard to resolve these matters."
Last month, Coldwell Banker real estate listed the property at 9045 SW State Road 200 that was home to Wise Way. The property remained on the website www.homesandland.com on Tuesday with an asking price of $1.1 million.
Mark Simpson, assistant state attorney, said the closing of the Sheriff's Office case all but ends the criminal investigation. He said he spoke to a sheriff's detective last week.
"I took (the detective's) comments to mean they were going to close out their investigation or their inquiry into this matter and that was going to be the end of it for their part," Simpson said. "So, in essence, they wouldn't have anything to turn over to us for us to consider.
"I anticipate not hearing from him (again) because I assume that everybody has been taken care of," he said.
Simpson said his office would be interested should another criminal investigation open concerning Wise Way.
He previously told the Star-Banner the State Attorney's Office's top priority was in seeing restitution made to customers. A criminal case would have a high burden of proof, he said. Meanwhile, paying for representation in a criminal case would jeopardize, if not completely scuttle, Wise Way's efforts to make restitution.
Meanwhile, the DMV has helped 91 of 93 customers coming to the state agency over tag-and-title issues, according to Barbara Benjamen, field supervisor in Ocala.
"It was really busy for a while but basically now we get one every once in a while that comes in and files a complaint," Benjamen said on Tuesday. "I think some people might have already gone up north and maybe still aren't aware their title work isn't done. So we expect more.
"We figure it's probably something that's going to go on for a while, until people can't renew their tags or something and realize there's an issue," she said.
Benjamen said her office will continue to assist consumers with tag-and-title issues as long as complaints come in. Anyone with questions may call the office at 732-1267, extension 109.
One Wise Way customer said on Tuesday she thinks the dealership should face criminal charges.
Marlene Schick describes herself as "one of the fortunate ones who ended up with clear title to my vehicle."
Schick said Wise Way told her to bring back her vehicle shortly after she bought it.
"They kept it for three weeks and it was for warranty work I verified through Hyundai was never done," Schick said, adding the dealership also did not reimburse her for gasoline as verbally promised.
"Everything I had was civil, so without getting an attorney there's nothing I'm going to do," Schick said.
"John Wise is a terrible liar," she added.
When asked if there were any lessons consumers could draw from the matter, Simpson said "in this kind of case it's very hard to say."
"In a lot of cases there are warning signs that problems are about to develop," he said. "We're not talking about some fly-by-night business here. This business has been in town for several years, by all accounts has done very, very well. Has had many repeat customers. I don't think there was any way anybody could have foreseen what was coming.
"There are certain cases where, you could have done everything possible and you're still going to come out on the short end of the stick," Simpson said. "This is one of those cases where folks, through no fault of their own, got caught up in something I don't think they could have done anything to prevent."

The Vulvalicious Cushions are individual fabric art pieces, handmade with love and dedication to create a beautiful, tactile and anatomically accurate representation of female genitalia. We have designed her using the latest scientific research to present some of the lesser known structures that contribute to feminine arousal and erotic pleasure.
Let us take you on a tour...
Looking for pictures not cushions?
If you gently stroke the outer labia of the Vulvalicious Cushion you will feel under the surface, two sections of erectile tissue called the vestibular bulbs. These bulbs gradually engorge as a woman gets aroused creating a delightfully snug effect at the entrance to the vagina. You can feel them to a degree from the outside and also internally on either side of the vagina.
Her inner labia are smooth and slippery to the touch. The sizes and shapes of both the inner and outer labia vary widely from woman to woman. Just as our faces are all different, so our labia are individual and unique, no matter what pornography censors or the fashions of the day might portray. This cushion represents a woman somewhere in the middle of the spectrum in terms of lip size and fullness.
Another area of great variety is the clitoral hood. The clitoral hood on this cushion mostly covers her clitoris. In some women it would be shorter with the clitoris more exposed and in some women the clitoris would be hidden much further back under the hood. The clitoris has a wonderfully sensitive tip (or glans), a short shaft that reaches back towards the pubic bone and two long legs (or crura) that bend down like a wishbone, lying outside the vestibular bulbs, all the way along the opening of the vagina. All the tissue of the clitoris is deliciously sensitive and also swells delightfully on arousal.
The vulva is the collective name for the parts of the female genitals that you can see - the inner and outer labia and the clitoris. The vagina is the canal that goes from the vulva to the cervix, the entrance to the womb. The vagina of the Vulvalicious Cushion is made of pure silk. On the upper wall you can feel the soft ridges of the G-spot or female prostate. This is another area that varies in shape and location. In the majority of women it is most prominent at the entrance to the vagina but it can be much further back. The glands of the female prostate are the source of female ejaculate. This tissue will also engorge when suitably stimulated and can feel extremely pleasurable. A little further into the vagina you can feel the cervix. The position of the cervix varies not only from woman to woman but from day to day. This one is more forward than the average, but we wanted you to be able to reach it comfortably! Through the lower wall of the vagina you can feel the perineal sponge - another area of erectile tissue with further potential for delicious sensation. Also depicted on the cushion are the urethra, and the two sets of glands responsible for lubrication. The perineum and anus are also represented, areas whose pleasure quotient are often ignored.
Each Vulvalicious Cushion is unique, hand made from the highest quality fabrics & stuffed with 100% recycled PET fibre derived from plastic bottles. Although it is always good practice to touch delicate areas with clean hands, the outer cover of your Vulvalicious Cushion has a hidden zip so that it may be removed. We recommend dry cleaning only.
May the Vulvalicious Cushion inspire, delight and inform you and enhance the healing and motivating power of Shakti in your life.

Giants finding it hard to give Crawford rest
OAKLAND -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy thinks Brandon Crawford could use a break. He just isn't being afforded the chance to give him one, not with the Giants' weak bench and Crawford's strong defensive play, which helped preserve the team's victory against the Padres on Saturday.
That was before Crawford committed two errors in the Giants' 5-0 loss to the A's on Monday night. His manager's confidence in the shortstop was unchanged after the game.
Said Bochy: "He's won too many games for us to be frustrated with him."
Bochy thinks Crawford's hands have been too high on the bat, and he told his shortstop Sunday that he believes a break would be beneficial.
"He's winning games for us," Bochy said before the game. "We need him in the lineup."
Crawford, who's started 82 of the team's 90 games at shortstop, is just 6-for-his-last-42 (.142) at the plate and has hit .091 (1-for-11) with three walks in the Giants' last four games.

TROY -- A list of new initiatives to improve traffic in the Antique District on River Street will be implemented in an effort to answer the concerns of some business owners in the area who feel they have been neglected.
The additions come after a conversation Mayor Lou Rosamilia had with some business owners last Saturday regarding their concerns over the Farmers' Market cutting off traffic to their stores on Saturdays. Other owners feel the Downtown Business Improvement District hasn't given enough help and predominately focuses on the businesses in the Monument Square area.
According to City Spokeswoman Jessica Sibley, the city will be rolling out some new initiatives as soon as possible. Those include opening only the southbound lane on Front Street to allow easier access to the antique district during the Farmers' Market. It will also include more signage around the parking garage and shops in the district to let people know what's available.
A video project is also being spearheaded by the city to highlight all of the businesses involved, which Sibley said will air on the city's Public Access Television, its website and its various social media outlets. She added conversations with property owners and business owners in the district will continue.
Jim Barrett, owner of the River Street Beat Shop located in the Antique District on River Street, said shoppers seem to have forgotten about some of the stores in the area just past the 1 Monument Square, the former location of City Hall.
This comes on the heels of the 10th Anniversary of the River Street Festival, which will take place from Fulton Street to Congress Street on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Barrett was a co-founder of the event of with former River Rocks Bead Shop owner Dana Rudolph. Barrett said it was the only festival thrown by BID that comes down to the Antique District and he said he hopes people take the opportunity to visit their shops.
"On the 10th Anniversary, we hope citizens take the time to visit and appreciate the stores in the Antique District," Barrett said. "Take the time and visit stores that contribute to the tax base, that have to pay insurance, pay rent and parking."
Barrett said he feels businesses in the district have been forgotten, claiming the Farmers' Market also adds to the pain where the foot traffic never seems to come down to their stores. He did note, though, businesses near the market seem to do just fine.
"People in that neighborhood are happy because business is booming," Barrett said. "People in this neighborhood are dying."
Theresa Albanese, co-owner of the River Rocks Bead Shop, was in agreement with Barrett, as she said while BID does a good job of drawing people to the city itself, there isn't enough promoting all of downtown.
"We do feel there is a lack of traffic," Albanese said. "They could do more. I'm not saying it's anyone's fault."
Susan Dunckel, owner of Sweet Sue's, noted business owners live in a free market society and even supported the Farmers' Market, as she said it has been beneficial for the city. She did, though, admit to having a bias as she is a vendor at the market. While she paid the standard $1,000 to have a spot, other antique district business owners were offered a spot for free.
"From my perspective, the three hour overlap time of the Farmers' Market is less detrimental to my business," Dunckel said. "If more businesses in downtown Troy had more regular hours, it would be more beneficial to my business."
With what limited resources they have, BID Executive Director Elizabeth Young said they do their best to promote all of the businesses within the downtown area as opposed to just focusing on particular sections.
Young said the BID only raises $80,000 its assessment and leverages it for other grants and sponsorship. With only the ability to have one and a half employees, Young said it can be difficult to please everyone.
"Although we wish we could, we are not able to have an event every weekend on each block of downtown," Young said. "We try to make sure the events promote as many businesses as we can."

Detailed Description:
Many patients with breastcancer in the past, were treated with TAC. These last years, there is more and more focus on the effects of chemotherapy, particularly in children treated with this. One of these effects is damage to the heart muscle, which ultimately might affect the pump-function of the heart . In adults, the effect of treatment with TAC on the heart, has not been previously investigated. The possibility exists that the adverse reactions in children are found in adults also could occur. Therefore we have initiated this trial.

|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|October 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Given the lack of data on the incidence of subclinical cardiotoxicity after treatment with TAC we want to assess whether subclinical cardiovascular damage is present in adult patients with breast cancer who have completed treatment with (neo)adjuvant TAC one year previously, using MIBG (meta-iodobenzylguanidine) scintigraphy, novel echocardiographic techniques and blood biomarkers. Following the study by Lipshultz et al. we expect to find at least in 25% of the patients signs of subclinical cardiovascular damage with at least one of the three techniques.(11) If at least 10% is observed we will conclude that it is useful to further pursue the use of these techniques for the detection of subclinical cardiotoxicity in a next clinical study which will be powered to assess the predictive value of these techniques for the development of clinical heart failure. If a lower percentage is observed we will conclude that it is not useful to further pursue the use of these techniques for the detection of subclinical cardiotoxicity.

The counter-demonstration that evening was violent and bloody, with both sides hurling stones at each other, and the Muslim Brotherhood claiming that several of its members were shot dead.
But also disturbing was the role earlier of what appeared to be a Muslim Brotherhood militia who seized protesters off the streets and took them for their own "interrogation" before handing them over to police.
"After they caught me they dragged me away and started threatening me," said Walid al-Ganzouri, no youthful stone-thrower but a 35-year-old, British educated engineer. "They said they were going to kill me, and started beating me up."
Along with scores of others, he was eventually handed over, bruised and with cuts to his head, to the prosecution service, which released them for lack of evidence. This did not stop Mr Morsi, during a late-night address, saying that "evidence from confessions" obtained from some of those seized showed they were plotting against the government.
