Tell ya what dave is just getting better and better each game he plays. I actually saw him out there "directing traffic" and he's really I think doing well against bosh all things considered and was fighting him for every inch of position he could get. Bosh is killing us right now he's just hitting everything he throws up.
I vote for "Ghost Crotching" .

If we can score the ball like the games before this season this should be a easy one. Now score these points, come on P's
Dun fouled a few times that play.
Jermaine not having a good night tonight. Seems to be forcing it. I hate when he does this.

Thank you Danny. Let's see some more of that.
This space for rent.
Both games last year he did it when he came to Toronto, and we got blown out both times (20-30pts). This year, when they came in November, he forced the issue in the second half as well.
Bosh gets a normal foul why, I really thought it's a break-foul.
Interesting thing about our team this year... the guys feel free to shoot the three without being right at the stripe. Pretty much everybody is willing to let fly a couple feet behind the line. Normally I think closer is better, but I wonder if percentages are up because guys aren't guarding us that far out?

Great D by Jermaine.

text: I still see us as a 7-9 win team but would be pleasantly surprised if we could get 9-10 wins and sneak into the playoffs. Even if we do make it in, I see us taking a butt whooping from whoever we play and a great learning experience for our team. I just can't wait to see how the Colt's will look the last three games of the season. I think by then they will have had the time to start gelling as a team and will look much better overall.

Very MoisturizingI used to use this product with the shampoo as my hair can get dry and this combo can moisturize very dry hair. The smell is fabulous and although expensive, I found it great for taming the frizzies. I just wouldn't use it every day because my scalp would appear "greasy." — 9 years, 4 months agoleo1999 | 678 reviews

Oh, Sap Moss, how do I love thee?Oh, Sap Moss, how do I love thee? Nothing gives my hair moisture quite like the Sap Moss line. I have pretty fine, short hair that's been processed within an inch of it's life for the past 15 years and Sap Moss conditioner, along with the Nourishing Concentrate as a bit of a leave-in, gives my hair perfect moisture that's not weighed down at all. It leaves it shiny, bouncy and soft to the point ...read morewhere you can't tell I've been torturing it since I was 13. The smell takes some getting used to. Either you're gonna feel like you're showering in a lush forest or you're scrubbing your kitchen floor with Pine Sol. It kind of bothered me at first, but I've gotten used to it. However...according to my hairstylist (I go to an Aveda salon), the entire Sap Moss line is supposed to be getting discontinued!!! NOOOO!!!! So my fellow Sap Moss lovers, call up Aveda (the number should be on the back of any product bottle) or go to Aveda and send them an email letting them know how big of a mistake this is!

Thank God you were there.My niece had come to spend a week with me and her hair looked like it had not been properly combed or washed in a long time, so I gave myself the task of washing and styling the 2year old's gorgeous, long, tangled hair. Washing and rinsing was a huge fight ,but my ultimate problem was getting the tangles out of her hair. After shampooing and conditioning, I still needed a conditioner. I searched ...read morein my bathroom closet and found this. It helped me untangle her hair and condition it. During the last rinse on this product I realized her long hair was even longer. It was past the center of her back. Without this product I would not have been able to detangle or even think of completing her hair. Styling is another story. — 8 years, 2 months agoStacieD | 122 reviews

Detailed Description:
While the cause of MS in not known, there is an autoimmune component that destroys nerve cells. Autoimmunity is a condition where an individual's immune system attacks his/her own cells. Bone marrow stem cell transplantation has been shown to halt autoimmunity. Stem cell transplant can be performed using the patient's own cells, or donor cells. The general consensus in the field is that donor transplant is most likely to halt disease progression. This study is designed to evaluate the safety of a donor transplant procedure as a therapy for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
Two factors limit the widespread application of traditional donor stem cell transplant: 1) preparing the patient for transplant (conditioning); and 2) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Traditional conditioning destroys the recipient's immune system and requires that the marrow transplant be successful because the patient is unable to fight off infection if the donor cells do not survive. GVHD occurs when donor immune cells recognize the recipient's cells as foreign tissue and attack them. Severe GVHD can result in death. This study utilizes a new approach to conditioning which leaves the patient's immune system intact. The transplant product is depleted of GVHD-producing cells but retains tolerance-promoting cells, called facilitating cells, which are intended to ensure the donor and recipient cells coexists peacefully. The toxicity of conditioning and transplantation is significantly reduced. The end result is a marrow system that contains recipient and donor cells, a state called mixed chimerism.
In this study, we will determine the appropriate cell dose to safely establish mixed chimerism following partial conditioning in patients with RRMS. The study takes a gradual approach to increasing the cell dose to achieve mixed chimerism. Each patient will receive a cell dose one unit above the dose received by the most recent safely transplanted patient. We believe this study will provide a breakthrough in the treatment of MS. The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential of safely establishing mixed chimerism to interrupt the autoimmune process and end the devastating effects of MS.

The good news for the North Platte High School softball team is that they are still alive in district play after the first day.
On Thursday, in the first day of the A-7 tournament at the Dowhower Softball Complex, the Lady Dawgs beat Kearney 3-2 in the first round but lost 7-0 to Bellevue West in the second game.
That means that NPHS (18-11) will play Omaha Central (9-21) in an elimination game at 10 am Friday for the chance to play Bellevue West in the finals, where the Bulldogs will have to win two more games should they get past Central.
"We're in a tough spot," said North Platte coach B.J. Songster. "To come back and win three games in one day is tough but I think the girls have it in them."
As the host team and the top-seed, the Lady Bulldogs opened the day playing its arch-nemesis and No. 4-seed.
Both teams had opportunities to score but they both found a way to get the timely third out in the first two innings.
In the top of the third inning, Kearney (12-22) scored the first run on Sydney Omtvedt singled into center field.
But in the bottom of the fourth, NPHS got the bases loaded against Bearcat pitcher Kaci Drahota and with one out, Songster inserted pinch hitter Sadie Vargas in place of Rachel Kosmacek in the ninth spot in the batting order.
Vargas nearly hit a grand slam, but it was just a long out after being caught in left field. But it was good enough to tie the game as a sacrifice fly.
Then Kaite Franzen hit a bloop single that fell just over the right side of the infield, scoring two runs and giving the Lady Dawgs a 3-1 lead.
Kearney got one run back right away in the fifth when Omtvedt reached on an error by shortstop Sally Hengen.
But that was all the Bearcats mustered against North Platte pitcher Ashten Hernandez the rest of the way.
In the top of the seventh, Hernandez retired the top three hitters in Kearney's lineup in order to finish the game.
Songster said that her team got just enough hits to get by while the pitching of Hernandez and the defense did the rest.
"It was tough to get the bats going," she said. "Thankfully, we got the breaks in that one. The defense kept us in the game. Ashten pitched a great game and our outfielders were great."
In the second game, NPHS played No. 2-seed Bellevue West (20-9) who routed Central 9-1 in their district opener. Central, in turn, defeated Kearney in the first elimination game to make it to Friday.
Bellevue West scored the first run of the game on a wild pitch by Hernandez in the first inning.
Then in the third, the Thunderbirds added to the lead. Hannah Stoysich scored on the squeeze play by beating Sydney Standage's flip to the plate after Standage fielded Makenzie Prusha's bunt.
Linzy Heim then followed with a one-out double to left-center that made it 3-0.
Two innings later, West scored again via the squeeze play with Jennifer Mitera bunting Lauren Crouch home. The Thunderbirds scored two more runs in the fifth for a commanding 6-0 lead.
Bellevue West scored the final run of the game when Heim led off the seventh with a home run.
Despite two RBIs, Heim did must of her damage in the circle. The senior pitcher shut the Bulldogs down for the second consecutive time. On Sept. 22, Heim beat North Platte 4-0 in the Lincoln Southeast Invite.
"We just couldn't get the bats going," said Songster. "(Heim) wasn't overpowering but for some reason, we just weren't able to hit her."

Joyce stays true to approach, beats O's shift
BALTIMORE -- Matt Joyce blistered a ball in his first at-bat of Saturday afternoon's game, only to see a ball that normally would be a base hit turn into a 4-3 groundout due to the Orioles' shifted infield.
Discouraged, Joyce returned to the Rays' dugout considering his options.
"The shift is tough," Joyce said. "After the first at-bat, I came in and told Joe [Maddon] I'm probably going to try and hit the ball to left field. And he said, 'No, just be you. Stay who you are. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll find the holes.'"
Joyce finished the afternoon with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs in five at-bats. One of his doubles came against Orioles closer Jim Johnson in the ninth, driving in the tying and go-ahead runs in the Rays 10-6 comeback win.
Maddon recounted the moment with Joyce.
"That's what I talk about all the time. I just want him to be himself," Maddon said. "That's what we try to do to other teams. Don't let them do that to us.
"I always talk to our guys about dictating to the other side. I don't want them to dictate to us. So just be yourself. Go up there and swing the bat like you can and it's all going to come back to you."

The annual U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition that many Imperial Beach residents believe put their city on the map is scrambling to organize a smaller version of the event for 2013.
At a sandcastle "revival" meeting held last week at City Hall, a few dozen residents gathered to organize a steering committee. The goal is to have a small group — nine to 11 people — set objectives, dates, activities and find new sources of revenue.
The event's original committee was forced to call it quits last year when confronted with major fundraising challenges. The last event was held in 2011.
First-generation Imperial Beach resident Leonard Gonzales has competed in sandcastle-building events for 28 years and is team leader of I.B. Posse, which took first place the past two years of the competition.
Gonzales, 38, said initial discussion of discontinuing the event due to lack of funding didn't seem too ominous.
"There were always funding issues, but you could never really tell how deep the issues were and whether or not it'd be something the committee could overcome," Gonzales said. "For me … it was a very personal event that really was as big as any of our annual holidays that we celebrate. I actually relate it to Christmas. We'd have lots of family come into town for this event."
Professional event planners Kent Trollen of Sand Castles Unlimited and Gordon Summer of To Market To Market are potential producers for this year's competition.
At last week's meeting, they discussed with residents what the 2013 event would look like and the process for moving forward.
Port Community Services Manager Jim Hutzelman said his agency may be able to contribute $40,000, with the caveat that the amount would decrease in subsequent years, and the event — ultimately — would become self-sustaining.
"Our absolute intent is the idea of diminishing support on the Port's side as sponsorship comes in," Hutzelman said. "Our resources are limited in terms of how much revenue is available."
Summer and Trollen discussed starting small this year, adding that they typically have at least a year to plan major events.
"I want to be honest in the amount of work that needs to be done," Trollen said. "It's not the U.S. Open anymore. It can't return under that name."
However, not everyone is comfortable with a scaled-down version of the event.
Third-generation Imperial Beach resident Candy Unger said a smaller celebration would take away from the event's tradition, which she has enjoyed since she was a little girl.
"I attended the meeting because I wanted to make sure that if they're going redo it, that they consider the community's input," Unger said. "It really is about tradition. It's not about the actual sandcastles, it is about the reunion aspect of the weekend when everybody comes back into town."
Unger, 38, said the Friday night sandcastle ball is a particular draw.
"It's put on by the Boys & Girls Club," she said. "It kicks off the sandcastle weekend."
Gonzales said that while the event has been a popular attraction, the significance goes beyond that.
"It gives us a chance to spotlight who we are," Gonzales said. "I think a lot of people who maybe didn't know where Imperial Beach was or had a negative opinion of I.B. from early in its history — this competition gave them a chance to tell them what I.B. was like. It was really a big source of pride for where we lived."
Trollen said the solution is to get creative.
"We're open to everything," he said. "It's just a matter of (financial) manageability."
In 2011, the event cost approximately $220,000, of which nearly $90,000 was for public safety.
Trollen and Summer have already invested thousands of dollars as volunteers, although they've yet to negotiate a contract.
Hutzelman said he hopes the Port can contribute $40,000 for 2013 and will know whether that's feasible once the budget is final in two months.
The money would be paid to the producers for event-related costs.
"We want to get an agreement going with them soon to make sure that they're compensated," Hutzelman said. "We're still in the exploratory phase."
The event was traditionally put on by the U.S. Open Sandcastle Committee, a 40-person volunteer group.
The three-day event has been a staple for the city for more than 30 years, bringing in tourists and money to the local economy.

SALT LAKE CITY -- The haircut's the same -- parted and gelled, each blonde strand combed neatly into place -- but the rest of the look was quite different Tuesday night for Andris Biedrins.
After nine years in Warriors blue and gold, the 7-footer debuted the bright white No. 11 home jersey of the Utah Jazz. He scored just two points but his new teammates did most of the damage as the Warriors lost the exhibition matchup 101-78.
"It was really weird," Biedrins said of facing his former team. "There were a lot of emotions. I have a lot of friends there. It was weird, and it's going to be weird for a while. Nine years is a long time. It was fun, and great to see those guys."
Before the game, Biedrins caught up with ex-teammates and former coach Mark Jackson. It was a reunion of several former teammates -- Utah's Richard Jefferson and Brandon Rush were part of the offseason trade that landed Andre Iguodala in Oakland.
"They mean a lot to me," Jackson said of the three former Warriors on Utah's roster. "They mean a lot to this organization. They sacrificed, they did things the right way, they were true professionals. I'm grateful that they made me a better coach."
Jefferson started and scored four points. Biedrins, whose offensive production declined each of his last two seasons with the Warriors, made the only shot he attempted -- a nice spin move into a left-handed hook shot over Andrew Bogut in the second quarter.
There was no evidence Tuesday that the change of address had improved his famously poor free-throw shooting.
Biedrins' eight minutes off the bench -- all in the first half -- seem to be in line with what the veteran center can expect once the season tips for real at month's end.
"It's a great franchise, just made my transition easy," Biedrins said. "It's a good fit. I'm really happy that the Jazz have given me an opportunity to go out there and prove myself again."
Marreese Speights scored 13 points off the bench for the Warriors (1-2), who looked sluggish playing for the second consecutive night. They shot 32.6 percent from the field, were outrebounded 62-41 and trailed by 20 points or more throughout most of the fourth quarter against the fresh legs of the Jazz, which was playing its exhibition opener.
The Warriors played without Harrison Barnes (left foot) and Jermaine O'Neal (lower back), both of whom did not travel with the team.
"You want to make sure forcing it one minute doesn't cost you a week or so," Jackson said of O'Neal's back spasms. "I felt being preseason, it was smart to hold him back."

Device Advice: Investigational Device Exemption (IDE)
An investigational device exemption (IDE) allows the investigational device to be used in a clinical study in order to collect safety and effectiveness data. Clinical studies are most often conducted to support a PMA. Only a small percentage of 510(k)s require clinical data to support the application. Investigational use also includes clinical evaluation of certain modifications or new intended uses of legally marketed devices. All clinical evaluations of investigational devices, unless exempt, must have an approved IDE before the study is initiated.
Clinical evaluation of devices that have not been cleared for marketing requires:
- an investigational plan approved by an institutional review board (IRB). If the study involves a significant risk device, the IDE must also be approved by FDA;
- informed consent from all patients;
- labeling stating that the device is for investigational use only;
- monitoring of the study and;
- required records and reports.
An approved IDE permits a device to be shipped lawfully for the purpose of conducting investigations of the device without complying with other requirements of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) that would apply to devices in commercial distribution. Sponsors need not submit a PMA or Premarket Notification 510(k), register their establishment, or list the device while the device is under investigation. Sponsors of IDE's are also exempt from the Quality System (QS) Regulation except for the requirements for design controls (21 CFR 820.30).
Good Clinical Practices (GCP)
Good Clinical Practices (GCP) refers to the regulations and requirements that must be complied with while conducting a clinical study. These regulations apply to the manufacturers, sponsors, clinical investigators, institutional review boards, and the medical device. The primary regulations that govern the conduct of clinical studies are included in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21 (21 CFR):
- 21 CFR 812, Investigational Device Exemptions, covers the procedures for the conduct of clinical studies with medical devices including application, responsibilities of sponsors and investigators, labeling, records, and reports.
- 21 CFR 50, Protection of Human Subjects, provides the requirements and general elements of informed consent;
- 21 CFR 56, Institutional Review Boards, covers the procedures and responsibilities for institutional review boards (IRBs) that approve clinical investigations protocols;
- 21 CFR 54, Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators, covers the disclosure of financial compensation to clinical investigators which is part of FDA's assessment of the reliability of the clinical data.
- 21 CFR 820 Subpart C, Design Controls of the Quality System Regulation, provides the requirement for procedures to control the design of the device in order to ensure that the specified design requirements are met.
Each of these regulations is discussed in detail throughout this section.

Scouts from Menston have just returned from their half-term adventures in the Forest of Bowland.
The boys and girls, aged ten to 13, camped for six days at Bowley, near Clitheroe in Lancashire.
Among the many adventures were a mountain biking trip to Gisburn Forest, requiring much skill and 'bottle', a daring climb and then leap from a telegraph pole, orienteering, a zip wire and air rifle shooting.
They were also joined by Addingham Scouts for a long but beautiful day out on a walk around and up Pendle Hill, where they were told of the tale of the Pendle Witches.
Scout Leader, Charlie Barnes, said: "But the biggest adventure is actually normal camp-life – for instance young people often have everything done for them back home but on camp they cook on a rota. Lighting and preparing a fire, using wood they've collected and chopped themselves, and then safely preparing and cooking two course meals is a huge achievement for a small team led by a 12 or 13 year old 'patrol leader'.
"We've had some feedback from parents about how mature and helpful their boys and girls have been since they got back – they really do have to live and work as a team to get through it, and they've been brilliant."
Menston Scouts' next adventure is a two night 'survival' camp at Blackhills near Bingley, where they will learn skills of which celebrity adventurer and Chief Scout Bear Grylls would thoroughly approve.


text: Because Rogers is ghey and won't sell you an iphone outright, and doesn't have the 3gs in stock and can't say when it will be in stock, I went to a small store that I knew through a friend (and where I originally bought my Razr) and paid cash for it ($775 with taxes). Now I paid cash b/c my mother had just repaid me for money I lent her for her dog's operation about a year ago, but I'm starting to think I should have paid with my credit card and banked the cash... When I went in to the store I asked the guy if they had any iPhone 3GS in stock. He said ya, but they only had the 32GB phones left. I said "ok i'll take one." The guy (pretty sure he's the owner) took my money, gave me an invoice, stamped it paid cash, and then told me my phone would be in later that night or the next day at the latest. I was surprised because I had been given the impression they actually had them in stock, but if it was gonna get in by the next day, I figured whatever. I'd bought from them before and I just assumed they were gonna have someone run a phone over from their other store. That was last friday. I went in on Monday and the same guy said "sorry, we haven't forgotten about you. There was a problem with the last phone we had in stock, but there's an order coming in tomorrow (yesterday)." Anyway, the day is almost over and I still don't have the phone yet. In the meantime I heard something about the store that's made me a little nervous. Someone I know used to buy iPhones from the store to send to customers as thank you gifts. One day, after he had paid, he sent someone down to pick-up the phones and the store was closed (for good). Then it reopened later, but the new management/owner or whatever never gave them the phones and they didn't get their money back afaik. Apparently there was a rift between the original partners and they split-up and each kept one store. For all I know the place is going out of business and the owner is just trying to pocket as much as possible before he closes down by selling a phone that's very desired but hard to get in canada right now. If I'm operating under the assumption that I'm being screwed here, how should I approach it since they already have my money? What should I do if they were to refuse a refund? The owner has already made promises twice about when it would be in and so I'm either being stroked or lied to. Ideas?

Daily Prayer 2013-10-12
Listen to podcast version here.
Father James Swanson, LC
Luke 11:27-28
While Jesus was speaking,
a woman from the crowd called out and said
to him, "Blessed is the womb that carried you
and the breasts at which you nursed." He replied, "Rather,
blessed are those who hear the word of God
and observe it."
Introductory Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are
the master of the universe, and yet you wish
to listen to me and guide me. You know all
things past, present and future, and yet you respect
my freedom to choose you. Holy Trinity, you are
completely happy and fulfilled on your own, and yet you
have generously brought us into existence. You are our
fulfillment. Thank you for the gift of yourself. I
offer the littleness of myself in return, knowing you
are pleased with what I have to give.
Lord, help me to imitate Mary.
1. Mary's Masterpiece: The
woman in this passage has a great insight. She senses
the greatness of Jesus. Probably she intuits that he
is the Messiah. It is doubtful if she has
guessed that he is also God-made-man. But from Jesus' greatness,
she is able to infer the greatness of Mary.
It is obvious to her that whoever produced this
masterpiece of humanity must have been a masterpiece of humanity
herself. And she is right. The humanity of Jesus
is Mary's masterpiece. All of what she is, she
imparted to him. While we cannot credit Mary with the
perfections of Jesus' divinity, we would be doing her
a grave injustice to think that Jesus' human virtues
and perfections were not positively impacted by her example.
The Immaculate Conception: God desired Jesus to come into
this world like every one of us, as an infant,
and so Jesus needed a mother. God wanted him
to have the finest mother, a perfect mother, and
so he gave Mary many gifts, starting with her Immaculate
Conception, preserving her from original sin. Who could imagine
Jesus – pure and innocent – wrapped in flesh
polluted by sin for the first nine months of his
existence? Would such an innocent child ever have been
able to stop crying while being tended to by
a sinner? The Father wanted the best for his Son
and gave him the best, even though he had
to provide the miracle of the Immaculate Conception in
order to do it.
3. Jesus' Educator: Being truly human,
Jesus had to learn just like any one of us.
Because of his divinity, his human capacities were untainted
by sin, but it was Mary who taught him
how to use them, who honed them in the everyday
life of the family until they were perfect –
just as any mother would. Mary was the perfect
one to bring out all the perfections in Jesus' human
nature. Being immaculately conceived, Mary's mind was not wounded
by sin and so was always able to discover
ways of parenting and teaching that were perfectly suited to
Jesus' human nature. To educate doesn't mean to just
give knowledge. In its fullest sense, it means to
train in virtue. Mary's continuous example of virtue –
hearing the word of God and observing it – was
certainly compelling for Jesus in his educational upbringing.
Conversation with Christ: Dear Jesus, it's hard for
me to understand that, as human, you needed education just
like anyone else. Help me to see that you
were truly and fully human like me. Moreover, since
you have already given me Mary to be my Mother,
ask her to educate me too, to form me
in all the virtues the way she formed them in
Resolution: Do I really think of Mary
as my educator in the full sense, in the
sense of teaching me virtue? What is the virtue
I need the most? I will ask Mary to educate
me in it in a special way today.

Photo Gallery: Iconic Furniture In Hot Hues
Add colour with style.
Lipstick-red seating adds personality to this neutral dining space.
These Eames Molded Plywood Chairs will never go out of style. Their thin legs and open seat backs make them perfect for a small dining area that would look crowded with heavier chairs.
For more, see our Iconic Furniture In Hot Hues photo gallery.
Bloom high chairs keep a family dinner table on trend.
A white paper runner for doodling, candy jars and crayons enhance this family-friendly table. (As does the The Jetsons-like Bloom high chair.) Low-key tableware takes a back seat to the bright colours, as does the iconic furniture: curvaceous Panton chairs and an oak cross-based table. The candy jar/place cards double as take-home gifts. Invitations at each place setting add a special festive touch.
Get a holiday-dinner music playlist. Plus, see more party-perfect rooms in our photo gallery and get tips, recipes and drink ideas in our party guide.
Add mid-century style to a kid's room.
These classic chairs designed by Danish icon Verner Panton look chic as occasional chairs in the living room, but would also be perfect around a craft table for kids. These mini versions are just their size and easy to wipe down.
For more, see our Iconic Furniture In Hot Hues photo gallery.
Bright red and soft green chairs bring out the colours in the rug.
Vancouver designer Catherine Radcliffe wanted to keep her treasured dining table when she decided to take on a modern makeover, so she updated it with a few Eiffel Tower-base Eames chairs.
Scour vintage shops for classic finds.
Green Eames chairs — a junk shop score — surround a Saarinen table, grounding the whitewashed kitchen. Simple louvers are in keeping with the beachy feel.
Add a fun element with one colourful chair.
HGTV star and Toronto-based designer Tommy Smythe decided on black bentwood bistro chairs for this dining area, and added a touch of whimsy with a single red chair. The round table serves as a perfect spot for the kids to play while dinner is being prepared.
See Tommy Smythe's Victorian Makeover photo gallery for more photos of this home, watch Suzanne Dimma tour through the kitchen, or check out more clever seating combinations in our Mix & Match Dining Chairs photo gallery.
This Philippe Starck design reinvents the classic Louis XV armchair in clear polycarbonate.
Its transparency makes it perfect for large groupings, where several heavier chairs around a table might seem cluttered. This peachy-orange version from Barami would add a perfect punch to a white dining room or home office.
For more, see our Iconic Furniture In Hot Hues photo gallery.
Pair a mid-century chair with a vintage desk.
This bright 1960s Eames chair with wheels makes a perfect desk chair. The industrial stripped metal 1950s desk, vintage typewriter and wheel combine for a fun, eclectic workspace.
A Swag Leg desk by George Nelson and Eames chair add colour and curves to this space.
Jaime Derringer, editor of the blog Design Milk, loves the two-toned walls in this home office. "The soft, soothing colour palette makes this room," she says. "The bold stripe at the top of the wall makes the space seem larger and taller, and emphasizes the light coming through the windows. Simple details like the vases on the wall shelf reinforce the idea that every item in this room has a place and function."
See more Design Milk favourites in our photo gallery.
Colour punctuates an otherwise neutral space.
In the L.A. home office of Canadian supermodel Tricia Helfer, a modern green Eames chair pairs gracefully with a Victorian desk. An Andy Warhol-inspired painting adds to the mid-century feel of the office.
Combine classic and contemporary.
HGTV star and Toronto designer Tommy Smythe updated this Victorian living room with a bold rug and solid jewel tones. The long settee already belonged to the homeowners, so Smythe had it reupholstered, then topped with fun throw pillows in trendy hues. A classic klismos chair in bright orange complements an ornate Chippendale mirror. "Given free rein, this what you'll get from me:" he says. "Strong colours, bold gestures and traditional references."
See Tommy Smythe's Victorian Makeover photo gallery for more photos of this home, plus watch Suzanne Dimma tour through the kitchen.

Acid green Eames molded plastic chairs pop against timeworn materials.
"One of my favourite aspects of older homes is the character they offer as a canvas, even before you place a single piece of furniture," says Jaime Derringer, editor and writer behind the modern Design Milk blog. "These cracked and peeling walls and mouldings are the perfect backdrop for the modern furniture and colour palette. It's a simple, inviting area to enjoy morning coffee and newspapers — or design blogs!"
See more Design Milk favourites in our photo gallery.
Dark furniture grounds a bright Panton chair and painted floors.
"Yellow and turquoise together are quite the flashy combo, but here it all gets very sophisticated against a clean-lined velvet sofa in dark plum and beige panelled walls," says Arren Williams, stylist and founder of the design blog, Arren Williams Design Lab. "Take out those two key bright colours, and replace them with neutrals, and you'd have quite the safe, chic space – though if you ask me, it's the neon colours that make the room really work."
See more of Arren Williams's design picks in the Arren Williams' Favourites photo gallery.
Contemporary fabric updates the ubiquitous design.
Possibly one of the most versatile statement chairs because of its ability to fit with any style — modern, country, eclectic, traditional — a classic Louis with new upholstery will never look out of place.
Pair two primary coloured chairs.
Traditional and modern furniture mix effortlessly in this eclectic sitting area created by New York designer Adler. Grasscloth walls, Adler's fish ceramics and modern photography keep the look current.
See more of Adler's designs in our photo gallery.
Hand-printed fabric adds soft pattern to a classic chair.
Designer Muriel Brandolini was excited to decorate her 1996 home — a lovely three-storey New York town house. The soothing palette of soft yellow and mint green draws attention to the spectacular architectural details and high ceilings. A wood lantern from Vietnam hangs over a nineteenth-century wood pedestal table from Holland. Muriel framed the doorways connecting to the first-floor landing with silk-brocade curtains.
See more Muriel Brandolini Designs in our photo gallery.
Add warmth to a modern condo with traditional furniture.
A spare backdrop of pale wood flooring and expansive white walls provides the perfect foil to Luce's collection of antique furniture and delicate accessories. Red-velvet Louis XV style dining chairs bring rich colour to the living/dining area. Eye-catching accents like a sparkling chandelier, ornate sconces and a gold-framed mirror add European elegance.

A bowl of oranges, a striking Jacobsen Swan chair and a tangerine-coloured throw add vibrancy to an otherwise neutral colour palette of cream, brown and grey.
The chair adds a hit of colour, while a Noguchi coffee table and Arco floor lamp keep with the mid-century style of the room.
Vivid furniture and paint make a global statement.
From an acid green Arne Jacobsen egg chair to a red sofa, colour is the primary idea behind this intriguing design. Accessories with a well-travelled flair, like floral floor cushions, a sculpture and potted palm, complete the theme.
Lounge comfortably in these occasional chairs.
Brian Kane's Swoop Lounge Chairs were designed for lifting one leg up onto the arm or resting one's elbows with ease. The flowing, organic shape is timeless, and they come in an array of colours from lime green and ruby to an ocean-teal tweed. Use one in a home office or two in a quiet corner of a living room.
For more, see our Iconic Furniture In Hot Hues photo gallery.
Turning furniture into art.
A masterpiece of mid-century furniture, Harry Bertoia's previously unreleased Asymmetric Chaise was created using the same process as his welded-steel Side Chair. Shown here with a full seat cover for added colour and comfort, the Asymetrical chair also makes a grand statement when left uncovered — showcasing its grid-like metallic weave.
Cosy wings create a private retreat, perfect for curling up with a good book.
This comfortable lounge chair — designed by 1960s furniture designer Niels Bendtsen — would be an easy way to add colour to a living room without painting walls. It also comes in soft grey and yellow, but we love this nautical blue.
For more, see our Iconic Furniture In Hot Hues photo gallery.
Use two Barcelona chairs as one love seat.
"We love the way the garden is incorporated in the experience of the living room," says 3rd Uncle principal Arriz Hassam. "It appears like a monumental painting; it is contemplative, beautiful and changes by the season. The Barcelona chairs in red leather and turquoise rug are simple and complementary to the dramatic view."
See more 3rd Uncle Design projects in our photo gallery.
For Suzanne Dimma's tips on decorating an outdoor space with indoor style, read her blog post.
Add an earthy feel with subtle green.
The timeless Bantam sofa has mid-century lines and classic tufting. Design Within Reach offers it in cream, mustard yellow, scarlet red and olive (shown here), plus a plethora of custom colours and fabrics. It comes in 73″ and 86″, and would look great as a pair flanking a fireplace. For a hit of colour and timeless style, the Bantam is a solid investment piece.

I find two possible explanations to the graph, each one is also introducing a different forecast :
- [Pessimistic] Flex is vanishing from the industry, in a couple of years it will no longer be used for new projects, Flex developers will still be able to find jobs maintaining existing projects, very much like developer of other technologies that have vanished form the job market.
- [Optimistic] The market is over reacting to Adobe's recent Flex related strategy. Yes, some companies are avoiding the use of Flex for new projects and are exploring new technologies, but soon those companies will find out the obvious, HTML5\JS Are not mature enough and at this point can not offer companies a real alternative to Flex. Many of these companies will soon understand that leaving Flex was a mistake. They will get back to hiring Flex developers.
Which one of these forecasts is the right one? we'll just have to wait and see.

If two words could summarize the weather this July, they would be "warm" and "wet."
According to NOAA's July 2013 State of the Climate report, the average temperature this past month for the contiguous U.S. was 74.3 degrees Fahrenheit. While this monthly average is 0.8 degrees about the 20th century average and ranks as the 30th warmest July on record, nobody is complaining about temperatures after last year's heat wave.
This July was also unique in that the U.S. saw unusually high amounts of precipitation. The national average was 3.47 inches, about 0.7 inches above average, making it the 5th wettest July on record for the contiguous United States.
Despite this rain, drought affected 46 percent of the U.S., especially the Plains region. Most of this drought is considered "moderate," however.
The NOAA report mentions that the real concern is the weather this fall. Because of late planting and slow crop maturation, farmers likely won't be able to harvest until later this fall. While crops this year escaped the usual summer heat stress, they may not fare so well if frost start entering the forecast before harvest.

A muffler works as a soundproofing device in your exhaust system to limit the amount of engine noise coming from your car. It works by having a series of passages and chambers that create what is called destructive interference. This concept means that your muffler creates equal and opposite sound waves to cancel out the noise coming from the engine of your vehicle. One of the unintended side effects of mufflers is that it can reduce your engine's efficiency. This occurs when the flow of gases out of the engine are obstructed, which can limit your power and efficiency. Certain kinds of exhaust systems are built to optimize your performance or fuel economy and limit the downsides of your muffler. If you have any questions about what kind of muffler is right for you, don't hesitate to ask one of our expert mechanics!
There are a few different ways to tell if it's time to replace your Nissan Armada muffler. Everyone on the road can tell when someone's muffler isn't working, due to the overbearing drone of engine noise coming from their vehicle. Your fellow drivers will notice the cacophony of a loud engine, and it's the number one symptom of a faulty muffler. Another warning that your muffler might not be in top condition is if your MPG ratings are lower than usual. Finally, if you notice a bad smell when you start up your vehicle and are out on the road, there could be a serious issue with your muffler and it's time to take your Nissan Armada to Milford Nissan near Worcester, MA 01601. It's designed to funnel harmful gases away from the vehicle and out of the tailpipe, but a leak or other issue could leave dangerous fumes around your car. If you experience any of these signs, give us a call straightaway!
Your Nissan Armada muffler is one of the components of your vehicle that you only notice when it's not working properly.

Murdoch came to work at Milford Nissan in July of 2014 from our owner Jeff Batta's other Nissan store in Marlboro where he worked as a Service Advisor for 11 years. He was only 19 when he began working for Marlboro Nissan and Jeff Batta as a parts truck driver and we are now proud that he is the Service Manager of Milford Nissan. He is married and has two amazing little girls. Outside of work he loves to do all sorts of outside activities that range from camping to playing sports. He likes to work out and to stay fit and nothing helps with that more than being up and about and staying active. Murdoch's choice in Nissan Vehicles would have to be the Nissan Altima. Besides being a comfortable and reliable car it has great gas mileage, and can fit the whole family with ease.
John is from Framingham, Ma. Outside of work John enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He tries to take as many trips as possible with his family in their class- A motor home. Fishing is something that he has always loved to do especially striper fishing, just being outside and enjoying the New England weather is one of his favorite ways to pass the time. He tries to go to as many patriots games as possible. John's favorite Nissan vehicle would have to be the 1994 300zx twin turbo. From its attractive style to its handling performance and power, this vehicle is one of his favorite sports cars that he has ever driven.

Prostate Cancer
Biopsy shows prostate cancer. Doctor questions why PSA is 134 - 138 but MRI does not show cancer anywhere else. Enlarged bladder? Could this be the cause?
Prostate cancer associated with PSA > 20 ng/ml should be further investigated with Nuclear Medicine bone scan and CT (or MRI) imaging of the abdomen and pelvis. The extremely elevated PSA may reflect spread to either lymph nodes (CT or MRI) and/or bone (NM bone scan). Other causes of extreme elevation of PSA may include inflammation (prostatitis either spontaneous or due to trauma of biopsy) or enlarged prostate. Enlargement of the bladder plays no role in PSA values.

I realize I'm very new here and I don't want to seem to criticize, but this section is for suggestions and I have one: could we possibly have access to more than one color scheme? I know that the software can easily handle more than one color scheme. I'm not saying that there should be a million options, but even one alternative would be nice. The default one is so... orange. It's so... hot. It makes me think of heat, of flames, of sweatiness, of deserts. I would very much like to see something cooler. Something with cool blues and greens and greys. Something light and airy. But unless I'm missing something in the user control panel, there is only one color scheme available. I don't think there need to be two dozen color schemes or anything. But one or two other choices would be refreshing. Whenever I visit I feel like I need a big glass of ice water or an umbrella to stay cool.
Well, just a suggestion! Thanks for listening.

New 91 Is One Volatile Catalyst
If Ron Artest were a stock, you wouldn't want to invest your life savings. In SAT terms, Ron Artest is to volatility as Jennifer Garner is to bootylicious.
This offseason, Artest told Slam Magazine he should have been the MVP because he was the best player on the best team. Confidence is a powerful tool, but assuming those words got in front of Jermaine O'Neal, Artest ran the risk of creating a little more tension in the locker room.
That tension surely exists already. It was reported after the playoff loss to Detroit that prior to Game 6 Artest missed a practice, a team flight, and the game-day shootaround. Not a good way to endear yourself to teammates.
Perhaps it's fitting that Artest has apparently decided to wear number 91 a number last worn in the NBA by Dennis Rodman. Like Rodman, Artest changes games defensively when he's not undermining his team with his words or antics.
With his mental health in check, Artest is in fact one of the league's most valuable players. If his behavior, not his play, becomes the story, the Pacers will be better off without him.
There is no evidence to suggest that the Pacers, 61-21 a year ago, would take a precipitous drop in the standings, but it's hard to imagine them again boasting the league's best record.
The Pacers were a Tayshaun Prince fingertip away from hosting Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals last year. The team returns intact, minus Al Harrington, who was traded to Atlanta for Stephen Jackson.
Jackson excelled as a role player on the Spurs championship team, and was a prolific scorer last year in Atlanta, where somebody had to score. He will be a nice addition if he defends and can accept being the third option on offense.
Options one and two, clearly, are Jermaine O'Neal and Ron Artest. After the Shaq/Kobe divorce, O'Neal and Artest might be the best 1-2 punch in the NBA. O'Neal, third in MVP voting, enters his ninth NBA season at the ripe old age of 26. Artest, 24, had a breakout year offensively and earned his first Defensive Player of the Year award.
The rest of Indiana's talent is good, not great. With a nod to the lifetime achievements of Reggie Miller, he's no longer a go-to guy at age 39. In May, though, he's still worth buying a ticket to see.
The two positions coaches typically deem the most critical are manned by committees. Jamaal Tinsley and Anthony Johnson play the point. Jeff Foster and Scot Pollard man the middle.
Austin Croshere and Jonathan Bender continue to gather dust, flashing just enough intermittent brilliance to suggest they could shine if ever given an extended opportunity.
O'Neal and Artest are good enough to put the Pacers in the playoffs with three players from the Indianapolis 'Y', so Indiana's questions won't be answered until May, when we see if a minor roster tweak is enough to propel them past Detroit and Miami.
Jonathan Bender: With Al gone, could be first forward off the bench
Stephen Jackson: Won't duplicate numbers with Hawks
I think they're a team in turmoil, but no one ever talks about it Ron Artest is a huge factor. I don't know how long that honeymoon is going to last, considering some of the issues they had during the playoffs last season. To me, the Pacers are very talented, but there's commotion going on They have too much talent to completely flop, but they're vulnerable this year Jermaine O'Neal takes a beating like no one else in the East. If they lose him for any length of time, they're just an average team in the East I like Stephen Jackson as a player, but he also adds fuel to the fire Their luck may run out this year."

Your thoughts please, ladies and gentlemen. I personally feel the scouting report to be very negative of our team. Judging from this article I would say we would be just another little above average team, certainly if you then read the "previews" of say Miami and Houston .


text: Author's talk covers first use of amphibious landing under fire during 150- year-old Battle of Fredericksburg By Rick Steelhammer November 26, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Battle of Fredericksburg, which took place 150 years ago, is best known for the bloody Union assault on Confederates dug in behind a stone wall at Mayre's Heights, overlooking the Rappahannock River town of 5,000.More than 8,000 federal troops were mowed down in Gen. Ambrose Burnside's unsuccessful attempt to wrest the high ground from troops commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee in December of 1862. The defeat ended Burnside's career as commander of the Army of the Potomac after only 77 days, while strengthening Southern resolve to fight on.While the winter battle in a town only 60 miles north of the Confederate capital proved to be something of a hollow victory for the Southern cause, since it merely delayed the Union assault on Richmond until the following spring, it was historically significant for a number of reasons. Pulitzer-nominated author and historian Frank O'Reilly will discuss those reasons during a free public lecture beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday in the University of Charleston's Geary Student Union.Several actions that took place during the Fredericksburg campaign "anticipated 20th Century combat," O'Reilly said in a telephone interview from Virginia's Fredericksburg & Spottsylvania National Military Park, where he is park historian.One such action, he said, was the world's first amphibious landing under fire, followed by the first establishment of a beachhead in combat conditions."In 1862, no one had contemplated, studied, or drilled for such a thing," O'Reilly said. But the Union soldiers at Fredericksburg "made it up as they went along," he said, because if they were to have any chance of victory, "they had to defy conventional thinking and think outside the box."Burnside's plan for capturing Fredericksburg, and using it is a staging site for an assault on Richmond, depended on an un-resisted crossing of the Rappahannock, from which Confederate forces had removed all bridges in anticipation of a Union advance. The Union general ordered the components for several pontoon bridges to be brought to Fredericksburg to accommodate a speedy crossing before a force of Confederates could be assembled to block the attack. But the floating bridge parts arrived 10 days behind schedule, giving Lee's troops time to arrive on the Fredericksburg shore before they could be assembled. On Dec. 11, 1862, Union engineers began putting the bridges together. The span nearest downtown Fredericksburg was about halfway across the river when Confederates in a row of riverfront houses began firing on the assembly crew.Anxious to put an end to the sniping and complete their task, volunteers from the bridge-building crew piled into six of the clumsy, open pontoon boats, and after a barrage of Union artillery fire rained down on the Confederate riflemen, paddled toward the opposite shore."After they landed, they established a beachhead in a few of the riverfront homes," O'Reilly said. "That amphibious landing and the taking of a beachhead under heavy fire that followed became the great-grandaddy of similar actions at D-Day in World War II and Inchon during the Korean War."The 200 federal troops making the initial crossing soon became involved in another military first: the first urban combat to take place in North America. A brigade of Mississippians assigned to contest the Union crossing and delay the capture of Fredericksburg "fought house by house, block by block, in another 20th Century experiment," O'Reilly said. "At that time, military officers were trained to fight in open spaces, where they could maneuver easily and make use of en masse firepower from shoulder-to-shoulder formations of troops firing in volleys."But the development of rifling, or grooving the insides of gun barrels, made small arms fire more accurate and deadly, creating a role for snipers and small units of riflemen. Confederate leaders had hoped the Mississippians would be able to hold back the Union invaders for two or three hours; using a well-coordinated urban combat scheme that involved fortified fallback positions, they managed to delay the inevitable by more than 12 hours.While Fredericksburg proved to be one of Lee's easiest victories - one that led many historians to characterize Burnside as a well-meaning incompetent -- O'Reilly believes the Union Army commander's reputation may have been painted with too broad a brush."In truth, there's a lot to be said in favor of him," O'Reilly said. Unlike Maj. Gen. John McClelland, who he replaced, Burnside was "aggressive, assertive and driven. His plan to use Fredericksburg as a base from which to attack Richmond was a good one. His sudden arrival there caught the Confederates off guard." Had the pontoon bridges Burnside ordered arrived on time, allowing him to enter Fredericksburg before Lee's army arrived, "we may have been hailing Burnside as the greatest military commander of all time," O'Reilly said.O'Reilly's lecture, "From Stonewall to the Stone Wall: The Battle of Fredericksburg," is based on his book, "The Fredericksburg Campaign: Winter War on the Rappahannock," nominated for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize.The Battle of Fredericksburg "began changing American military strategy and ideas about how wars are fought," said Beth White, director of the 2012 Civil War Scholars Lecture Series, which is hosting the lecture, with financial assistance from the West Virginia Humanities Council and the University of Charleston.The outcome of the battle and the carnage it created "affected the mindset of military leaders both north and south," White said. She said O'Reilly's lecture would explore how that changed thinking influenced decisions by leaders of both sides and affected the remaining years of the war.The lecture series is a program of the Kanawha Valley Civil War Roundtable.Reach Rick Steelhammer at email@example.com or 304-348-5169.

Braves teammates praise Uggla after release
ATLANTA -- Although Dan Uggla's on-field role diminished quite rapidly during the weeks leading up to his unconditional release on Friday, his influence on his teammates remained strong.
"He was beloved by everybody in this clubhouse," Freddie Freeman said. "I think everybody would say it, he was probably one of our favorite teammates, and he's definitely going to be missed in this clubhouse. Wherever he goes, that team's going to be lucky to have him."
"Obviously, he's been a great guy for this team and a great guy in this clubhouse, and I think, even more, a good person," B.J. Upton said.
Uggla has played sparingly since losing his starting role in early May. Last weekend, he showed his frustration by arriving 30 minutes before the start of a game at Wrigley Field. He was consequently suspended for Sunday's game.
Even after that incident, however, Upton did not expect Uggla's release to happen so soon.
"I found out as soon as I walked in today," Upton said. "He was kind of on his way out, and it kind of caught me by surprise. I really don't know what to say to a guy in that situation."
Players' comments seemed to indicate that Uggla's episode of tardiness was an anomaly. Multiple Braves praised the veteran's professionalism in what was a frustrating situation for the former All-Star.
"He always went about everything the right way. He always hustled, did not complain one time," Jason Heyward said. "He wanted to be in the lineup every day. He supported everybody. Even going through my struggles, he was right there. When I bounced back, he said, 'I knew you could do it, and I'm proud of you.'"
And many believe that we have not seen the last of Uggla's talent. Gerald Laird believes a change of scenery might be good for Uggla.
"I see it all the time," Laird said. "You see pitchers that kind of lose what they've done in one organization and go to another organization, and it's just one thing someone else says, a different word that kind of gets you clicking again. He's still a young man. He's got a lot of baseball left."
Uggla's departure is especially hard on Freeman, whose locker sits right next to the second baseman's. However, Freeman, as well as most Braves, was happy to see Uggla find a resolution to his difficult situation.
"It's not fun, but we know this is a business, and that's definitely a tough side of it," Freeman said. "When you build a relationship with someone since 2011, it's definitely tough to see him go. It's definitely going to take me a while to get over this, but I'm just going to be happy for him when he goes to a new team and gets a fresh start."
Uggla's future is uncertain, but the Braves have a National League East crown to defend. They begin the second half tied for first place with the Nationals, and they will have to make their final run without one familiar face cheering them on.
"It's definitely going to be difficult tonight, but we're going to be able to do it," Freeman said. "We're going to do this for Dan tonight."
Said Laird: "Now it's back to baseball. We have games to play, and Dan understands that. Everybody in this room understands that."

Diamond on track for return despite subpar outing
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Left-hander Scott Diamond said Sunday that his Minor League outing went according to plan despite subpar results against Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday.
Diamond, who had a bone chip removed from his elbow in December, allowed three runs on five hits over three innings in his second start of the spring. He threw 45 pitches and is expected to ramp it up to 60 in his next Minor League outing on Thursday.
"Results-wise it wasn't so great, but health-wise I felt really good," Diamond said. "It's another stepping stone and I was able to get the pitch count up. I probably could've thrown more based on how the innings were going. So everything went well."
Diamond, who is currently on the 15-day disabled list, said he remains on track to start on April 12 against the Mets at Target Field. Diamond is scheduled to make three more starts in the Minor Leagues to get his pitch count to 100 before making his return.
"I want to go deep into the game, so I need to get my pitch count up," Diamond said.

Topic: Declining Fast
Hi all,
Sorry i have not replied to any posts for many months, especially to all the newcomers.
Mum is rapidly declining and near the end.
I spoke to the oncologist this morning as he was doing his rounds and advised me that mum had no more than a few days to go. He cut me off quickly then walked away. What has happened to compassion and understanding.
I am really scared and don't know how and where to find the strength to get me through.

Then just three weeks ago my gynecologist had me take two weeks of vaginal estrogen cream in prep for a PAP smear because I`d had post-menopausal shrinking in my vagina. I quit the estrogen cream immediately after the exam. But at the exam the gynocologist found a lump in my breast and sent me in for what turned out to be an ultrasound and yet another mammogram. Is it possible that using estrogen cream for two weeks, if you have a family history of breast cancer, could cause cancer in that short of a time? (I haven`t gotten the results yet.)
No, short term estrogen use cannot cause breast cancer.
