Hi, I hope someone out there might be able to help me. I am haveing trouble with two aspects of my game. All of my main drives i do right handed forearm drives, my favortie disc is a discraft surge which is overstable and flys well for me, Surge will typically fly straight and then cut left as expected for me and for long bombs i am able to get a nice S turn out of it, but on to my troubles
First i am having trouble throwing understable and lighter discs, when i throw them they tend to wobble, cut and roll. I then try to cut back on my "snap" and i get a nice short drive but no distance.
Second I am hitting a 300' wall where i am unable to drive my disc much further.
Third i keep reading articles which say that there is a limited use for forearms and i will not be able to advance my skills with this type of throw. Any thoughts?

Hi guys
I´m new in Labview Programming and I´m working with the NXT module in Labview 2010, and I have some problems, because I´m used to the C programming
and LabView is kind of diferent than C
The thing is wath I wanna make a speed regulator using the NXT brick
Using the left arrow button the speed will increase and using the right arrow button the speed will decrease
I´m usin the servomotor connected to the PORT A of the NXT brick,
Solved! Go to Solution.
I get this code working properly but I don´t know why sometimes when I press the Left Arrow Button of the NXT Brick, The screen shows "Speed of Motor : -1" and everything just Stop and don´t work again, I have to reset the NXT brick to get it working again.
What are the NXT terminal of each one of the NXT VI of Labview? I see each one of the Lego VI have a NXT input and a NXT output and How do I have to connect this NXT Terminals for my code?
Thank you for answer
Hi Diego,
When I ran your NXT program it worked fine except that the last digit of your display was getting cut off because the string was too long. so (-10 through -19 all displayed as -1). You may want to format your string differently or use two lines. Do you think this is what you saw or is it something else?
The "NXT Terminals" on each NXT subVI are used primarily for sequencing. When you are targetting an NXT they do not carry any data but allow you to specify which subVI will execute first, second, and so on.
When targetting the computer they are a little more important because the pink NXT wire contains a reference to the NXT brick that is being used.
yeah, my message on the screen was pretty large and now i already fixed and everithing is going fine but
about the NXT terminals, in my code i didn´t connect any of them and everithing is going fine, maybe i was lucky and there is no problem
But, how Do I connect the NXT terminals in my code?
Yes it doesn't matter in your program because it does not make a differnence whether you display the message string first, or whether you set the motor speed first. If for some reason you wanted to force those two actions to execute in a specific order, you would wire the NXT output terminal of the first, to the NXT input terminal of the second. In your case it is fine as you have it.
O´right I will keep it in mind for my next designs.
I read in a blog something about connect other stuffs didn´t maked by LEGO to the NXT brick something like a DAC or ADC I2C integrated circuits, they said that the NXT inputs use the I2C protocol, and I know how I2C works but Do yo know where can I find more information about use the NXT inputs for interface my own sensors? and if the 4 inputs of NXT brick use I2C protocol, what kind of protocole use the 3 outputs
Thanks in advance
There is an i2c communication vi on the NXTI/O : Advanced palette that you can use to read/write i2c data. You can take a look at the Ultrasonic sensor VI, or the HiTechnic sensor vis for examples of how to use this vi. You will also need to configure the sensor port for i2c use. You can use the "Setup Sensor Port" VI also on the advanced palette to set the port for Lowspeed9V / RawMode

But the early indications are that, despite feisty e-mails and tough talk, Obama is again choosing private negotiations with Congressional leaders over public pressure on legislators. The most important indicator is that the president has not taken the one step that really matters: asking his millions of supporters to deluge their local members of Congress with demands that they pass the president's policy agenda.
Obama tiptoed in that direction in 2009 before being promptly shut down by furious Democratic leaders. But soon after this year's election, his campaign suggested it would turn history's most powerful online political machine toward policy: "People want to be involved in supporting the president's agenda in the next four years," said campaign manager Jim Messina. …
But the only action the campaign has asked of supporters on the issue of the moment — the taxing and spending negotiations consuming Washington — is easy and nonconfrontational. The campaign e-mailed supporters a graphic outlining Obama's plan to end the Bush tax cuts only for the wealthiest Americans, and to cut some spending. The only demand: "Share … and spread the word on Facebook and Twitter."
The alternative is technically little harder. Obama has many of his supporters' home addresses and the zip codes of more; advocacy groups large and small constantly send e-mails naming the local congressman and asking supporters to call. This is the path Obama has chosen not to follow.

I did enjoy those mid-winter tomatoes, but if you're making this in the summer with fresh garden tomatoes it will be even better! Another ingredient that really made this salad special was the caper vinaigrette. I adapted the restaurant's recipe a bit, but I'd never leave out the capers, which were a brilliant addition here.
(This Salad with Tomatoes, Avocado, Feta, Shrimp, and Caper Vinaigrette was updated with new photos and step-by-step instructions, August 2013.)
Salad with Tomatoes, Avocado, Feta, Shrimp, and Caper Vinaigrette
(Recipe adapted from Greek Salad with Avocado, Shrimp, and Caper Vinaigrette from Nick's Fishmarket Maui featured in Bon Appetit Magazine, March 2009.)
Dressing Ingredients:
(enough for at 6-8 salads but make it all so you can have the salad a few times)
4 oz. capers with juice (1/2 cup)
2 T minced roasted red pepper (from a jar)
2 T minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
(original recipe called for chopped boiled egg whites, which I couldn't convince myself was essential in this!)
Salad Ingredients: (2 servings)
1 large handful shredded romaine lettuce
1 avocado, diced
3-4 small tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled Feta (or less)
1/2 cup cooked salad shrimp
fresh-ground black pepper to taste
(original recipe called for Maui onion, which sounded good but I didn't have any sweet onions.)

Ray Roberts Lake State Park's Lantana Lodge Has New Concessionaire
PILOT POINT, Texas — An international resort company that owns Dallas' famed Southfork Ranch was the highest bidder last week at an auction to take over of Ray Roberts Lake State Park's Lantana Lodge. The previous concessionaire at the park, Nature Leisure Times, LLC, had been in bankruptcy for more than a year.
Forever Resorts of Scottsdale, Ariz., submitted the winning bid to take over the six-year-old, hotel-style facility in Denton County. Bids were based on TPWD's current contract for the facility that calls for several phases of construction that includes development of a marina and cabins, and a conference center expansion, according to Randy Bell, state parks regional director for North Texas.
Lantana Lodge, which includes 30 guest rooms, a conference center and a full-service restaurant, remains open and under terms of the sale must remain open and honor all future bookings taken by Nature Leisure Times. The bankruptcy trustee closed on the sale Dec. 19.
Walt Dabney, director of Texas state parks, hailed the news of Forever Resorts' winning bid. He noted it would be the company's first operation in a Texas state park
"This is a very exciting day for Lantana Lodge and Ray Roberts Lake State Park," Dabney said Thursday. "Forever Resorts is a nationally and internationally recognized provider of quality visitor services at parks all over the world."
Forever Resorts owns four other Texas resorts, including the Chisos Mountain Lodge at Big Bend National Park and Lake Amistad Resort & Marina. It also runs the Cottonwood Cove Resort and Marina on Lake Mohave, whose operations are similar in scope to those envisioned at Lantana Lodge.
Lantana Lodge first opened in 2000 under a unique private-public partnership initiated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to provide a full-service lodge to complement the Jordan Park unit's more traditional campgrounds at Ray Roberts Lake State Park.

Strong Woman Do Bong-soon Ep.13-16: Glimpses of What Couldve Been
After weeks of misguided comedy, meandering plot lines, and a misplaced prioritising of tone over characterisation, its finally a wrap for Strong Woman Do Bong-soon. This last quarter, especially the final episode, rights a few of its many wrongs. Perhaps its better late than never, but at the same time, its a sad reminder of how great the drama could have been if only it had remembered to focus on its heroine, her growth, and her relationships with the people around her.
This review contains spoilers for Episodes 13-16.

Hamilton sits again, will have extra hitting session
BOSTON -- Angels cleanup hitter Josh Hamilton was out of the starting lineup for a second straight day Monday, with manager Mike Scioscia wanting to give him some extra time to recover from his ongoing slump.
Hamilton had five hits and 18 strikeouts in his last 38 at-bats, dropping his batting average to .266 while keeping his home run total at eight through 72 games. He's scheduled to come to Fenway Park early on Tuesday to have a one-on-one session with hitting coaches Don Baylor and Dave Hansen "to try to find a comfortable concept in the batter's box that he can take to the game," Scioscia said.
"I'm all right," Hamilton said Monday, "but I don't make the lineup. ... I'm going to do some early work tomorrow, see how it goes. If I hit enough out, I'll play."
With Hamilton out, Howie Kendrick -- with 10 hits in his last 30 at-bats -- batted in the No. 4 spot for the second straight day. Hamilton has missed five games in the last nine days, if you count two Angels off-days Tuesday and Thursday. The 33-year-old got mental breaks Monday and each of the last two Sundays.
"It brings a lot of attention to what you're trying to do when a guy you count on to hit in the middle of your lineup is struggling for a long period of time," Scioscia said. "We have every confidence, and I know Josh does, that he's going to find it and he's going to contribute. Any concern would just be short term trying to find a path that's going to get him where he needs to be. This guy's going to hit."

MIDDLEBURG, Fla. - The last few months have been a living nightmare for the the parents of a 19-year-old Hollee Krueger, who was killed walking home from a party at a Middleburg house where she was served alcohol.
Hollee Krueger (pictured below), who had just completed her first year at the University of North Florida, was hit by a car and killed June 3. Authorities say she was walking drunk down Alligator Boulevard at 4:45 a.m.
A week after her funeral, the her family's Middleburg home was destroyed by Tropical Storm Debby.
"June 26, we got flooded out and it was all -- everybody said, 'Boy, how can y'all handle that?'" said James Fairchild, Krueger's father. "And I said, 'That's nothing. That's just stuff. Losing my daughter, it's just life changing, your world stops.'"
"A fatality was directly linked to that house party, so we are investigating, investigated those allegations, and we've made these five arrests," Sandi Poreda, director of communications for the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, said in a phone interview. "We think that the issue of providing alcohol to minors at open house parties is very serious, and the adults who provide alcohol to minors at open house parties will be held responsible."
This week, investigators arrested six people they say contributed to Krueger's death in some way.
Nineteen-year-old Zachery Manning, who was driving the car that hit Krueger, was arrested on charges of leaving the scene of an accident involving death and driving without a license.
Five others -- Amber Campbell, 20; Jacob Hicks, 20; James Rosier, 21; Austin Petitt, 21; and Eric Gibson, 22 -- are facing charges in connection with hosting an open house party and/or serving alcohol to minors, second-degree misdemeanors. They face up to 60 days in jail and up to $500 in fines.
"I'll never meet my daughter's husband, I'll never see my daughter's children, we'll never celebrate another birthday or Christmas with her, and, hey, if $500 would bring her back, I'd pay it to everyone I came across," Fairchild said.
The Fairchilds say their grief will never fade, they just hope this tragedy serves as a wake-up call for other teens.
"That it's all fun and games until somebody gets a headstone, and then it's too late, so wise up now. Learn from the mistakes of others," Fairchild said.
Fairchild said revenge isn't what he's looking for, but he wishes there were tougher laws and consequences for people who serve alcohol to those underage, especially if it results in a death.

Review of Sandusky investigation under way
The special deputy Pennsylvania attorney general leading the investigation into the handling of the Jerry Sandusky child abuse case has started his work.
Former federal prosecutor Geoff Moulton, an associate professor at the Delaware campus of the Widener University School of Law, has been tapped by Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane to lead the probe.
Bob Power, a law professor and colleague from Widener's Harrisburg campus, says he suspects Moulton's experience leading special projects had a lot to do with his selection for the high-profile post.
"It's his experience at investigating problems on a deadline and the ability to come up with a strong, coherent report in an appropriate fashion," said Power.
In addition to Moulton's eight years' cumulative experience in a U.S. attorney's office, he prepared the U.S. Treasury report reviewing the failed government raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.
But his resume is void of the kind of sexual predator cases he'll be looking into as he revisits the Sandusky case.
Moulton will have access to child predator case experts within the attorney general's office, said spokeswoman Ellen Mellody.
"Mr. Moulton has been hired to carry out an independent review of the facts regarding the conduct of the investigation -- not to provide an expert opinion of the handling of child abuse cases," she said.
The investigation lasted nearly three years and began when Gov. Tom Corbett served as attorney general. Sandusky was convicted last June and is serving a lengthy prison sentence.

Preliminary designs were released for public view on Friday for a new retail center to be built on the west side of Highway 1, just north of the Highway 20 junction.
The Hare Creek Commercial Center would front the highway on six currently undeveloped acres just south of the existing Emerald Dolphin miniature golf course. Hare Creek's owner, Group II Real Estate, also owns the existing Boatyard Shopping Center just across the highway from the project site.
The design calls for three buildings totaling 29,500 square feet, according to the architect Debra Lennox, of Debra Lennox AIA, Mendocino.
Of the three proposed buildings, the north one (Building A) is the largest of the three, at 15,000 square feet. The south building (Building B) is 10,000 square feet, and Building C (attached to Building B along Highway One) would house four separate smaller retail spaces for a total of 4500 square feet.
The site is zoned Highway Visitor Commercial and the proposed retail use is consistent with that zoning, wrote Lennox.
A design for the shopping center at 1250 Del Mar Dr., was first submitted to the city on Oct. 18 for a coastal development permit, a design review and a use permit. After city input, the design is now being resubmitted, and is at a point where public viewing is appropriate, Lennox said.
Lennox coordinates a design team which includes another local architect, Martha Hill, of Fort Bragg, I.L. Welty Engineering for civil engineering, Duncan Engineering, of Fort Bragg, for structural engineering, WRA Environmental Consultants, of Fort Bragg, for botanical studies and landscape architecture, and GHD, of Santa Rosa, for traffic studies. Lennox is LEED-accredited for green building design.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of green buildings, homes and neighborhoods. Lennox wrote of her intent to emphasize environmental- and energy-conscious design in the project.
She considered climate in deciding the placement of the buildings on the site, with planning for how the project fits into the community. The project treats landscaping as equal to the buildings in importance as acknowledgment of the Highway 1 frontage. The designers want to make a sustainable design that is also beautiful, Lennox said.
Design to include green building features
Lennox said that some of the LEED features being incorporated into the design include: storage tanks for rainwater collection, water-efficient landscaping with native plants, permeable paving stones and bioswales for stormwater management that directs runoff water back into the ground to recharge the aquifer below, greenwalls for wind protection, covered bike racks to encourage bicycle use by customers and employees, and skylights and transoms to admit more natural light to reduce the need for artificial lighting and energy consumption.
The design will include use of LED lighting tied to sensors that will adjust light levels for more energy savings, and a large array of solar photovoltaic panels to offset the energy needs of the project.
The revised plan will be resubmitted to the city sometime this month. The public will see storey poles erected at the buildings' perimeters very soon, Lennox said.
Storey poles are temporary poles erected at the site of a proposed construction project to provide a rough approximation of the building's footprint as an aid for evaluating the visual impact of the project. The poles are typically strung with orange netting at the top to indicate the approximate height and outline of structures.
Greg Patton of Group II said the company is proceeding with development plans for the property because there are at least two retailers interested in locating at the site.
Group II also owns two other undeveloped parcels totaling 14 acres adjacent to the project site on Todd Point. Those parcels are for sale, according to Group II representative Bill Patton.
A larger project was floated in 2008 at the same location, but was never pursued. That project would have included multi-residential housing, offices and restaurants with direct access from Highway 1 at the Highway 20 junction. The project met local resistance, and raised Caltrans' concerns that it would require widening of the Hare Creek Bridge to accommodate increased traffic.

HI Marie Elise,
We don't have a recurring task setting in Jive, but you have hit on the common work around.
- Create a Project to contain the task
- Create an instance of the 'to be' recurring task in the Project
- Export tasks, making the selections for all tasks, user name and if you want an Excel encoded CSV file - save the export to your local computer.
- Edit the local copy of your CSV now, remember to observe the correct date format!
Should you get the dates wrong, you will get a chance to edit each task individually prior to import.
- Save and import the CSV into the project
- Each new instance of the task will need a new ID, if you don't assign one or use one that is already used, the Platform will automatically assign a correct one.

Hi Jez,
If I wanted to set up daily, weekly or monthly updates sent from our Jive community to people in a certain group with discussions and uploads do you think announcements is a better way to do it or should I create a project and create them as tasks?
Re: How to create a reccurent taskjezmartin Mar 15, 2012 5:43 AM (in response to deeparamesh)
Hi Deepah,
If you want to ensure all members of a group get an update then announcements in that group are going to appear in each members' Communications Stream, and they can link to the other content you want to draw their attention to.
If you want to ensure you remind yourself to do it, then setting up a project and assigning yourself the repeating task to create the announcements will help to manage your workload as you will get you Actions stream alerting you of impending due tasks
Is this what you were asking?

Every resident lives in a Police Service Area (PSA), and every PSA has a team of police officers and officials assigned to it. Residents should get to know their PSA team members and learn how to work with them to fight crime and disorder in their neighborhoods. Each police district has between seven and nine PSAs. There are a total of 56 PSAs in the District of Columbia.
Printable PDF versions of each district map are available on the district pages. Residents and visitors may also access the PSA Finder to easily locate a PSA and other resources within a geographic area. Just enter an address or place name in the "Find It!" field and the search will provide the geopolitical and public safety information for the address; it will also display a map of the nearest police station(s).
Each Police Service Area generally holds meetings once a month. To learn more about the meeting time and location in your PSA, please contact your Community Outreach Coordinator. To reach a coordinator, choose your police district from the list below. The coordinators are included as part of each district's Roster.

What is it?
The Xenarc 700CSH is a 7 Inch display with a capacitive touchscreen input.
The Verdict:
Yes and yes! The Xenarc 700CSH's capacitive touchscreen sets it apart from other displays in the segment. The clear and precise overlay allows the quality of the monitors display to shine through any glare. The 700CSH proves that Xenarc has been watching, as it addresses most of the long-standing shortcomings of small display screens.
What�s in the box?
The Xenarc box comes with the touchscreen monitor, VESA mount, wall and car chargers, input cabling which includes HDMI/VGA/Composite video connections, a HDMI -> DVI adapter, full-function remote, instruction manual, and a cable locking clasp.
For a quick video of the unboxing for the 700CSH please click here.
Another year brings a another offering in the series of Xenarc 7 Inch monitors. The 700 series has seen its' share of small changes over the last few years, but nothing on the scale of the new 700CSH. This monitor shares the same physical dimensions as the older models, but offers so much more in the form of a beautiful capacitive touchscreen overlay.
The community here at mp3Car.com has long searched for a install monitor which attempts to draw us closer to the visual fidelity of today's smartphones and tablets. Like Xenarc, each competing brand attempted to fulfill the needs of the community with features like high-brightness displays and a greater set of available inputs, but each of the monitors were limited by the resistive touchscreen overlays. Resistive touchscreens will often mute the color of the underlying screen and disperse surface lighting in a manner which at times makes it dangerous to use while driving an automobile in the daytime. Capacitive touchscreen technology allows for more of the screen's natural tones to come through and focuses oncoming light rather than disperse it. The difference comparing the Xenarc 700CSH with a resistive model is truly night and day. Check out the following example showing the 700CSH when compared to last year's Xenarc. Both pictures were taken during similar lighting.
The improvements to the 700CSH didn't just stop at the touchscreen however. The display has received a bump up in native resolution. Instead of the 800x600 resolution we've come to expect, Xenarc has increased the 700CSH to 1024x600. The end result is a gorgeous display that does away with some of the pixilation seen on other models. It's still no Galaxy S4 or retina display, but the lines between have definitely been blurred. Car PC purists fear not, the 700CSH can still display between 800x480 and 1920x1080, PC willing. The brightness rating of 500nits and the contrast ratio of 400:1 are carryovers from prior models, but, because of the touchscreen, offer more bang for their buck.
Xenarc has carried over all of the luxury features from prior models. You can still expect to get things like auto-switching to a composite input, auto power-on, and auto-brightness via the on-board photosensor. The menu system of the 700CSH is more expansion, offering more control than older models. Options like audio-over-HDMI and input switching control are welcomed additions. The included remote is actually usable, as it allows for full operation of the device rather than a subset of functions. Xenarc advertises that the touchscreen will still operate even if a fingerprint or scratch protector overlay is used. Fingerprints almost seem more of an issue with this touchscreen, but I personally feel like it'd be a shame to do anything to alter the display quality.
The Positive:
� The best display quality for the segment, bar none
� Includes cable management options
� Rock solid build quality
� Fully functional remote included
The Negative:
� Bezel is larger than competitors
The Verdict:
Yes and yes! The Xenarc 700CSH's capacitive touchscreen sets it apart from other displays in the segment. The clear and precise overlay allows the quality of the monitors display to shine through any glare. The 700CSH proves that Xenarc has been watching, as it addresses most of the long-standing shortcomings of small display screens.
Stay tuned for more photos, disassembly videos, pricing information, and availability on the Xenarc 700CSH

On practice days, Lakers center Andrew Bynum arrives an hour early to work with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Make no mistake that they are still developing the sky hook that Bynum vowed to bring back on draft night last June. His version will be more of a jump hook but (he hopes) will prove just as unstoppable. "I was really lucky that I have been a parent and understand what's happening with people his age," Abdul-Jabbar said. "It enabled me to be patient when I needed to be and understand his mind-set."

Former Sutton United midfielder Anthony Riviere said he accepted a move to Margate on the promise of a new challenge.
The 34-year-old followed Jamie Stuart, Sam Rents and Dean McDonald out the Gander Green Lane door over Christmas to join the Kent-based Ryman Premier League outfit.
Riviere made more than 130 appearances for United, including the ultimately doomed play-offs against Welling United in 2012, so he left with a heavy heart.
United manager Paul Doswell has rung the changes in his squad, replacing the departing quartet with a mixture of young and old loan players, for a Skrill South promotion push.
Meanwhile, Riviere will be hoping to guide Margate to only their second win in eight games.
"I am sad to leave the people at Sutton United, but I am ready for a new chapter in my career," he said.
"I normally spend a good length on time at clubs, I was at Eastleigh for four years before joining Sutton three seasons ago.
"When Margate got in touch, Dos told me I was clear to talk to them. When I did, and discovered what their plans are, it seemed really positive and a challenge, so I decided it was time to start something new."
He added: "With a few of the Sutton lads at Margate, stepping into the changing room and seeing a few faces that I already knew, meant I was comfortable straight away.
"Jamie [Stuart] told me just how good a manager Terry Brown is, and after speaking to him, I knew I had made the right decision.
"He and his assistant manager have the experience and the know-how to succeed in football."
In his 331 appearances for United, Riviere scored seven goals, and while he enjoyed his time at the Lane, there is an overall sense of disappointment at not achieving more success.
"I am disappointed not to win the league or get promoted with Sutton – that was always Doswell's aim," he said.
"He's a winner and always wants to win things so there is a little sense of disappointment at not achieving that."
He added: "Making the play-offs was the pinnacle on the pitch, but off it, the highlight has to be all the people I have met."

Regina -
My husband is in the trial. He started on 10/23. He was diagnosed in April and was on Gem/Cis for about 5 months and it quit working. It quit working right in time to get on this trial. We go back to MDA on 11/20 for the first blood work apt. We are working with Shroff and Zinner as well.
My husband, Travis is having worse side effect than he did with Gem/Cis. His rash is really bad and his belly bothers him. Gas and diarrhea. Tonight he even has chills. His blood pressure has gone up too.
I wonder if we will be at MDA at the same time?
My husband is 38 and we have 3 little ones. Ages 6,4 and 2.
Praying that this trial does some good!!!
Carrie Roberts
From Atlanta
Well, Ladies, I still have hair... Not sure what the deal is since I lose a good amount daily... But I won't complain! I have been nominated for a wig from Locks of Love because of a friend. I will get it in 2014. I have a head of hair still, but I used to have a really thick head of hair! I did look into different avenues... There are places around here with donated wigs for cheap or free. If it gets to that, I will look into them, too.
Lainy, your wig looked wonderful! I'm sure you don't think so, but honestly, I knew you said your hair was thinning... but I thought it looked so good your hair must have stopped thinning. Really!
Regina, I want to see the tree this year. Most of my life I've lived near NYC but I have never seen it! I would love to get a few of the "locals" together for a visit. It's a car and train ride for me! But I don't mind it... I did it for 2 years to Sloan.
And I have a couple of head coverings. They look like loose doo-rags, which I wear riding. ACS also will send a catalog for wigs and tape on bangs, etc., to have sticking out of head wraps.
And Lainy is a hoot in person, too!! Lainy, I want a sauerkraut egg roll!! lol
Regina, that's hysterical! I would probably do that! When I started treatment, I was told to be prepared to lose my hair. So I went and had my crowning glory chopped off short to prepare... And nope! But my boyfriend at the time and I had a blast looking at the wig catalog. We decided I was going to be a red head! Right now I dye it to have a very slight reddish cast, but this was much redder!
Hi Cookie, NO, no more sauerkraut egg rolls. For you newbies I spent some time at a friends lake house last June and had never met Kris. She drove from PHL to Milwaukee to spend a few days with me. Here we had never met and we spent 3 days laughing, crying and being silly. Oh, Kris, Stan, Neil and Jeanne are coming out here for their 17th Thanksgiving with me. How have you been doing with your trial? Wouldn't you know it....one of our Karaoke places sold and has had a change of venue. Not sure yet what it is. But we still have another good one waiting for you!
Hi Carrie~
Sorry to hear that your busy family has to go through this, of all things. I wish I could have met you both, especially because we'd be on the same schedule, but I have succeeded in having myself switched back up to Johns Hopkins, which is much close to NYC. I had gone there initially, but they had some bureaucratic glitches creating a problem enrolling patients on a timely basis.
Your team at MDA is terrific. Shroff is a great listener and allows for questions with no rush. she appears to be extremely knowledgeable. Zinner is my personal favorite because he has a good sense of humor, lively spirit and a professor's enthusiasm for explaining the scientific basis of anything you ask about. Lindsay Law is a very caring nurse, and Chichi, Zinner's NP is a bundle of friendly and practical energy. Jing is very competent, but beware of subtle language-based (probably) misunderstandings that could seem uncaring or as repudiations.
There is much excitement around this trial, so I have a lot of hope for us.
As per side effects, I had all the same ones. They seemed to mellow with the passage of time and learning the patterns and remedies. At one point, I had acne so bad I felt that people were looking away so as not to appear to stare (at a 53year old with acne). I took topical antibiotics and soon began oral doxycline, which have worked very well. Still healing. but no more whiteheads. I had a red dot-like rash on my groin and my right inner elbow, but they are disappearing and didn't bother me much.
I have occasional diarrhea, but it is quickly stopped with immodium, maximum of two have been needed. You are advised to catch it right away. I have often felt tired for the rest of the day after these bouts. Quick and ongoing rehydration is critical. I've even used some Pedialyte on some occasions, with success. Be sure he avoids sugar alcohols like maltitol, inositol, etc., which have a laxative effect. I used sugar-free candies and a fizzy electrolyte replacement tab to keep my mouth wet and rehydrate and kept waking up with diarrhea. I had no idea for quite awhile. -- Don't assume that all odd symptoms are just the meds! -- I do often have gas causing me, on some days, to burp incessantly. (my peeps are used to it.) I shifted my pill time to just before bedtime to avoid the feeling of tiredness and belly ache I often got an hour after dosing.
As per blood pressure, I took some pride and solace in mine having always been low (90/60), having been an athlete all my life. In the first month that I was on these meds, it rose to a bit higher than normal (125/85), but it has not continued to rise; in fact, it has come down some. In fact, all the lab tests that rose as an apparent result of the meds, have actually come very close to normal or acceptable now, seven weeks later.
You are in good hands at MDAnderson -- you can just feel the science going on there -- but be sure to stay on top of it all and press for answers to questions you have. They have the patient care figured out pretty well. I advise you to stay at the Rotary House, but book far in advance. Gorgeous pool, very good dining (there's very little else around there, if at all), very friendly people, information, patient coordination, everything.
Let's stay in touch! Good luck!
Kris et al~
I would love to get together to see the tree! I live on the Upper West Side and I still don't see it in person (avoiding all those silly tourists ).
I am now courageously sporting a very short, styled hairdo and doing my best to put on a face that says, "I feel beautiful." My friends see right through that and lie back in response, "You look amazing!" uhuh. It just ain't me, but it's another interesting challenge. As long as I don't have acne to go with it.
So, get in touch when you're ready to come in. I'll help us plan whatever.
Warm short-haired cuddles all around.
Well, my scans look good, but i don't. my hemoglobin kept plummeting for no apparent reason, so i finally had a transfusion after having ruled out internal bleeding with a colonoscopy/endoscopy, sonogram, and CT. I was disappointed, putting it mildly, not to have been re-energized afterwards.
I am also taking lots of oxycontin since I have a great deal of pain in my bloated abdomen and my back, again with no explanation. I took a break from the meds due to the latter and the fact that ALT was quite elevated. In the last week, all liver enzymes have come down, as has CEA, but so has hemoglobin, rbc, wbc, lymph, platelets. Except for hemo and rbc, those had all been fine while i was on the meds. seeing a hepatologist tomw.
Not getting a lot of holiday shopping done, but being doted upon by darling daughter.
Kris-- any tree viewing coming up?
Regina what an ordeal for you as if you don't have enough. Love the doting daughter and I think presents can wait for Birthdays. The biggest present is that you are here and celebrating this years Holidays. I wish for you much improved health in the coming year!
I'm keeping you in my thoughts for you to start feeling better. Christmas blessings to you and your sweet daughter!
Thanks, all of you! this has to change, but soon.
Has anyone here had a red blood cell transfusion that did not restore vitality? i received two units on wednesday when my hemoglobin was 7.5, and i thought i'd prance out of there, but...nothing!
Regina, sorry I can't help with the health questions. I never had low blood counts for very long, and never had a transfusion.
I would still like to see the tree when I get back up north. I get in dec. 29 and have onc visit on 31. So the 2nd through the 5th is good for me. I don't know if anyone else wants to go.
Have a great holiday and we can have some tea to ring in the new year!! lol
Regina...I too don't recall anyone posting on this, but I hope for others to chime in including those non-members not yet signed in.
Hi Kris
on the 5th I will most likely be heading to Baltimore for my visit 1/6. on the 9th, I will hopefully be leaving for italy. I will be available anytime before. I hope we can work this out. best,
Hi, I can't remember if you work? If not, I will come up Fri. if that works for you. Then you have Sat. to relax and pack. Of course, that all depends on the weather!
And have a great time in Italy!
Hi Kris

Louis Tomlinson of One Direction Flips Off Fans + Photographers
Uh oh! Looks like Louis Tomlinson was losing his patience with some One Direction fans — or some paparazzi.
Cambio reports that the U.K. native was at the airport in Detroit, Mich. when he was spotted flipping the bird to someone, though it's unclear to whom his middle finger was directed. Some angry Directioners insisted it was at them, but others say that it's because those fans in particular were rude and nasty to his girlfriend, Eleanor Calder.
This isn't the first time Tomlinson has snapped on the band's current tour. He gave his middle finger some more exercise in Montreal while shopping with Calder.
While some Directioners took it personally, Tomlinson's beloved Belgian mum, Johannah Darling, tweeted that Tomlinson told her it was actually at men shouting mean things to him and his bandmates, as well as at his girlfriend:
@_yannella I text him this am asking what had happened. His reply: It was not at fans but at men shouting degrading comments ;( xx
— Johannah Darling (@JohannahDarling) July 6, 2013
Here's hoping people lay off Louie for a bit. Let a man live!

There is a bill that if passed by the Minnesota Legislature would allow the public to use publicly owned or managed shooting ranges, some in local police stations.
It originated in the city of Plymouth, where a firearms safety instructor wanted to use the police shooting range to teach firearms safety and was denied.
The measure, part of larger bill, has passed the House Ways and Means Committee and could become part of a conference committee report.
Rep. Tom Hackbarth, R-Cedar, who has a lot of clout on outdoor sports issues, supports the bill.
Police departments and the sheriff association oppose the measure because of what they call security concerns and cost; for example, to have police monitor the classes.
Hackbarth has asked for an amendment to address the concerns over security.
Rep. Ann Lenczewski, D-Bloomington, says the shooting ranges were meant for law enforcement and not for young people.
Dave Larson of Plymouth, who is promoting the bill, says there is a shortage of shooting ranges where the gun safety classes can be taught.
Furthermore, Larson says the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources requires students to test with a .22 rifle and most local gun ranges aren't designed for rifles.
Michael Hammer, DNR education program coordinator, says there aren't enough ranges — private or public — to support the program of firearms safety training, particularly in the metropolitan area.
Years ago, local Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts ran gun ranges, but many closed them because upgrading them became too expensive.
There are private gun ranges in the metro area, but members usually use them Saturdays when firearms safety classes are popular.
Hammer says publicly funded outdoor ranges are used for classes, and he cited Edina where the Braemar indoor range is open to the public.
During the year up to 24,000 students 11 years of age through adult, but mostly young people, are certified by taking the firearms training course that requires students to fire a .22 long rifle in four positions.
To Larson it makes sense to open up tax-supported gun ranges to the public.
This is a case where local police and sheriffs want the public to pay for exclusive use of facilities, such as the gun ranges.
Granted, local police officers should have priority in using the gun ranges, no matter who pays for them, because officers have to be trained to protect the public.
Rather than oppose the public, a way should be found to teach firearms safety classes in publicly-funded ranges, which in the long run could protect the safety of future gun owners. — Don Heinzman, ECM Publishers

BTW, it boggles my mind that Tyler was like 25 spots higher than Gerald Green.
It tells me that these rankings mean very little.
Always possible Or that we're not interpreting them correctly. It's a perception issue really. Green hasn't been in the league in a while, Hans was a starter not long ago. It will take a while for opinions to catch up.
Luckily for us this isn't based in reality. In his days of quickness Barbosa was a speed demon killer but we saw last year that he was an aging, good in certain spots type of player and nowhere near the athlete of Green.
Sully is going to really disappoint a lot of fans, and Redd being anywhere near Green at this point makes no sense.
OTOH talk about living on rep, how is Tyler in the top 400?
100% agree on all counts.
It's sad that Kiper can know thousands of recent and current prospects in pretty good detail and a lot of NBA commentators/talking heads can't keep up with 400-500.
I love when a guy will do pre-game color or something and mention the skill set of a particular Pacer and basically have it completely opposite of reality. I don't mean in the "he's better than that" homer anger, I mean in the "well actually he can't do anything you said he can and lives off of all the stuff you say he doesn't do". Embarrassing.
If it wasn't for Rusillo I'd have no faith in ESPN at all anymore. I even noticed that Simmons is falling off after he did all that work for the basketball book. He's slowly drifting out of touch with everything other than the elite teams/players.
I don't know if Seth noticed this so I'm just going to post it again, Tyler #174 Mcbob #304, take that Naptownseth
Seriously how is Anthony Davis #62? He hasn't played in the NBA yet..... ESPN is tuuuurrrrriibbble!!!
I'm not perfect and neither are you.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim,
Ephisians 4: 32 And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.
Scola at 68, man I wish we could have squeezed 3 more days out of Hibbert and Hill.
Watching Scola play is going to make mad all the time.
David West #56
Reading some of the tweets. Seems like people think this is overrated for him, and the don't seem to realize he was coming off of a major knee injury.

Weird how the list gets little groups of guys at the same positions kinda clumped together. West, Bargiani, gortat, Lopez all together. the B-List of Bigs as it were.
#56 for West is pretty high.
Common Sense says West will be improved overall this year, he's healthy afterall. He was a beast in April, and was one of our better players in the playoffs. Sans Danny all of our starters should be improved for one reason or another. George because of youth, Hill due to full time starter position, Hibbert because of youth/ work ethic/ a fixed offense, West due to health.
Interested to see how high they have Hibbert here.
I THINK he meant that he deserved to be ranked lower, which would mean he is better than the 56th best player in the NBA. In which I would agree, but at the same time, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to argue moving 4-5 spots....like you said.
No Vnzla means that West should be ranked lower than 56. I.E. David is not deserving of being at 56
"Josh Smith Re-building the city of Detroit one brick at a time"Originally Posted by Piston Prince
It looks like I low balled Hibbert and Granger in my projections. Glad to see both in the top 40.
Ryan Anderson is #50? Puh-Lease! He's a lesser version of when Rashard Lewis received that surreal contract.
Yay, we don't know what we're doing as a franchise! thanks PG!
Danny Granger 39
Eric Gordon 38

Hibbert will be ranked above Granger... I think it's BS..

I don't think Ryan Anderson is even a top 100 player. We will see him drop like a rock in water after this year.

The arrival of summer means sunny days and the prospect of long days on the golf course, tennis court and swimming pool. Enjoy these sunny days, but enjoy them safely, because those sunny rays contain a hidden and deadly danger: ultraviolet radiation.
Ultraviolet radiation is the single most preventable cause of melanoma, a deadly skin cancer that kills 20 people in the U.S. every day. Melanoma will be diagnosed in 1 of 70 people during their lives.
There are two basic ways to fight melanoma. First, avoid excessive sun exposure. Second, be alert to changes in your skin that might signal the beginning stages of the disease. The earlier melanoma is detected, the better chance the patient has of beating this insidious disease.
Let's look some more at the first method - avoiding excessive sun exposure.
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer. It is a cancer of the pigment producing cells (melanocytes) in the skin. It is these pigment cells that give us our differing shades of skin color. Ultraviolet light damages these pigment cells, leading to sunburn, sun-induced tissue damage and skin cancers, including melanoma. And the more light skinned you are, the more you are at risk
The sun's rays and ultraviolet light can reap an ugly toll in addition to causing cancer. Over time, ultraviolet light causes wrinkles and rough leathery skin. Remember, cow hides are "tanned" to make leather too.
Here's what you can do to avoid excessive sun exposure.
Visit NetWellness' skin care topic area for more information.
Not all melanoma is caused by sun damage. Unfortunately, there are some rarer forms of melanoma -- for example, on the palms or soles, under toes or fingernails, or in the back of the eyes or mucous membranes -- which people of all skin complexions are susceptible to.
The second weapon in the battle against melanoma is a simple awareness of danger. For instance, if you have had a previous melanoma or someone in your family has had one, you are at increased risk. If you have many moles or large birthmarks, you may also be at increased risk as well.
What can you do? Examine your skin and your family members' skin. Bring to your family doctor's or dermatologist's attention any changing or suspicious mole or skin area. Follow the ABCD rule. Any mole which is Asymmetric, has an irregular Border, Color variation or has a Diameter larger than a pencil eraser should be evaluated
If you are diagnosed with melanoma, see a specialist. Surgical Oncologists - cancer surgeons - are most familiar with the latest diagnostic and treatment advances in melanoma. The majority of patients diagnosed with melanoma can be cured with early detection and appropriate treatment.
Bright, sunny summer days are wonderful in many ways. Enjoy them with your friends and family. But enjoy them sensibly and take precautions against the sun's dangers.

Q & A — February 2003
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Sealed Tightly
| Maintaining a dripless shaft seal, flushing an outboard, and how water gets into diesel.
My previous boat
had a traditional stuffing box, and the pre-owned boat I recently bought
has a PSS dripless mechanical shaft seal system. How does this work and
what kind of maintenance is required? J.N., via e-mail
As you are aware, the stuffing box is an important piece of equipment due to its two major functions: First, it keeps the water out of the boat, and second, it lubricates the shaft as it spins inside the stuffing box. With the old-style gear, the box would "sweat," or leak water, to make this happen whether the shaft was spinning or not. During this process water naturally accumulates in the bilge where it mixes with oil and any other nasty stuff that may be sloshing around down there. As the liquid level reaches and floats the bilge pump's switch, all that swill goes overboard. Moreover, when the stuffing box leaks more than usual or becomes hot to the touch, it's time to replace the packing. Repacking the stuffing box is not hard to do but it must be done correctly or the box will drip constantly and, in the worst case, the shaft will be scored.
Shaft seals, like PYI's Packless Shaft Seal (PSS), work by forming a mechanical seal between two surfaces. As one turns, the other stays stationary. The static surface is a high-density, carbon-graphite flange held in contact against a stainless steel rotor that turns with the shaft. The flange in turn is attached to the boat by a reinforced bellows made of nitrile (a strong, flexible synthetic rubber that's impervious to petroleum-based products).
As shown in the illustration, the bellows (D) is below the waterline and therefore under the influence of water pressure. This causes it to be pushed outwardly, keeping the flange (A) pressed against the rotor (C). The resulting seal is unaffected by engine use or vibration. Nitrile double O-rings (B) inside the rotor ensure alignment and seal the rotor to the prop shaft. Double hose clamps (E) secure the bellow at both the stern and flange ends, and a pair of Allen screws (F) secure the rotor to the prop shaft. A second set screw prevents the Allen screw from backing out.
The company reports that commercial vessels do not have to replace either the flange or rotor until about 20,000 hours of use. Therefore, it is quite possible that recreational boaters like yourself can expect many years of use.
Maintenance includes checking the hose clamps and set screws for tightness. For more information, you can visit www.pyiinc.com or call the company at Phone: (800) 523-7558.
