For the first time in quite some time, I actually feel REALLY good. Yeah, i may be stressed because of school and everything, but I feel..so i dare to say, healthy!? I can't remember the last time it was like this.
I feel like I just look so much happier. Ethan and I went to a wedding this past Saturday and I felt good the entire time. I wasn't fatigued or sore. I was just happy! Here's a picture from that day!!

- Tablecloth Sizing Guide
To calculate the size of the tablecloth you require, remember to allow for the drop, or overhang, of the material. For the best appearance, we recommend a drop length of about 12" on each side for casual linens and about 18" for formal linens. All of our rectangular and oval tablecloths come in a standard 70" width. To size our linens and calculate drop for a specific table, measure the table's length and add 24" to that number for a casual tablecloth or 36" for a formal (for round tables, add 24" or 36" to the table's diameter). For example, if a rectangular or oval table measures 60" in length, order a 70" x 90" cloth. When in doubt, order the next largest size we offer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Catalinad from Worst tablecloth and napkins ever! I purchased the 108" tablecloth and 12 napkins. Both wrinkle horribly, and require ironing every time I use them, which isn't often. The napkins aren't even close to being square, making it very difficult to fold them nicely. Total waste of money! I am now looking for another set of table linens that are easier to care for.Date published: 2016-12-30Rated 5 out of 5 by MIMLES from Elegan,t but inexpensive, tablecloth! Most tablecloths that are 140" are very expensive, and because we will use it only once or twice a year, this table covering was the perfect choice as It was very reasonable. I had ordered one years ago for another table and was also happy with that purchase, but I think the quality of this one is even better. It seems as if the fabric is much less stiff than the previous one I owned. And the monogram was the perfect touch! I did have it professionally ironed for the first use and then professionally cleaned after, but the cost was well worth it. I love it!Date published: 2016-12-09Rated 2 out of 5 by MJB22 from Not the greatest quality I thought the quality of this tablecloth was quite poor. Very flimsy and see-through. The seam edging was cheap. I would not recommend.Date published: 2016-11-17Rated 3 out of 5 by Duby from Very average product Fabric much lighter weight than expected. The creases in my Williams-Sonoma table pad show through quite visably. Does not wash up well; needs ironing. Nothing exceptional about this product.Date published: 2016-07-29Rated 4 out of 5 by MsFussy from Good price Substantial weight cloth, but needs to be ironed after washing. Good that the price was reasonable, as I'll have to have it professionally laundered to look good for a formal dinner.Date published: 2016-06-07Rated 5 out of 5 by Jane61 from Perfect for My Table I have a very large table and it is difficult to find a tablecloth that fits. This is well made, heavy weight cotton. It washes well. I have a few so that I can have a back up.Date published: 2016-01-07Rated 3 out of 5 by debithejedi from great tablecloth, except... Love the fabric, weight, color, but shrank too many inches to used for my 70X70 square table. Suggest wash cold and hang to dry. May reduce shrinkage.Date published: 2016-01-05Rated 3 out of 5 by AllergyDoc from shrinks a lot Nice tablecloth except that it shrunk so much after the first wash that it no longer fit my table (fit nicely with good amount, at least 10 inches on a side of hangover per side before washing). After washing, no side hangover at all on the ends and only a couple of inches on the sides (my table is wide at 50 inches). Recommend ordering at least 1 size bigger than what you think you will need based on table size and desired drape.Date published: 2015-11-09

Our Mission
With respect and compassion for all animal life, Hand Pet Rescue of West Virginia promotes lifelong relationships between people and companion animals, providing shelter and care for each precious life until adopted into a forever home.
Our Goal
Hand Pet Rescue of West Virginia goal is to help create a no kill where people are responsible for their pets, where there are no helpless creatures abandoned in boxes or left to fend for themselves in parking lots, where there is no longer a need for any healthy companion animal to be euthanized. There are many worthy organizations and individuals working toward this end. The rescue network is communicative and non-competitive. Certainly, progress is being made.
We require a home visit
Application: Helping Hand Pet Rescue must have an approved Adoption Application filled out and signed. You may complete the application either at the shelter or download it from our website and bring it along to the shelter. You will be interviewed by an Adoption Counselor to help you determine the pet(s) that best fit your household and family situation.
Occasionally, we will have an adult cat who absolutely requires an indoor/outdoor home. In such case, we will make every attempt to ensure that the environment into which this cat is placed is as safe as possible.
Landlord Approval: Helping Hand Pet Rescue will require proof that you are allowed to have pets if you live in rental housing or in a condominium with animal restrictions in the by-laws. To avoid delays in adopting your pet, please bring a copy of your Lease along with your application.
Age/Employment: Helping Hand Pet Rescue wants to adopt to those who are financially secure and in a stable living situation. For example, college students sometimes adopt animals then discard them when they graduate or even just go home for the summer. Because there may be, at some time, significant veterinary costs involved with any pet, we ask that people adopt only if they are over the age of 21 and financially able to bear the cost of future emergencies.
Declawing: There is a wealth of statistical information indicating that cats frequently suffer long term problems after being surgically declawed. These problems include both aggressive biting and eliminating outside the litter box. MEOW requires that you sign a CONTRACT agreeing that you will NOT have the cat's claws surgically altered in any way, including laser surgery or tendonotomy. If, for any reason, you feel you MUST have a declawed cat, we will be happy to give you a call when we rescue a cat that is already declawed. Read more about declawing at www.declawing.com.
Family Decision: Having a pet should be a pleasant and rewarding experience for all involved. If you have small children, please bring them with you when you come for your adoption interview. Helping Hand Pet Rescue often has kitties who have shown themselves to be particularly tolerant of children. Our Adoption Counselors will work with you to determine the best fit for your family.
Lifetime Commitment: Helping Hand Pet Rescue expects that when you adopt a pet you have made a decision to care for that pet for its entire life. A cat may be a 20 year commitment. Please think through this extremely important decision before you come to the shelter. A pet becomes a family member. A responsible pet owner/guardian makes life decisions to include their pets.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Helping Hand Pet Rescue of West Virginia.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Effect of Maraviroc (MCV) on the Immunological Recovery of HIV-1 Discordant Patients With CD4 Lymphocyte Counts Below 200 Cells/mm3 (DIS-MVC)
Recruitment status was: Not yet recruiting

Maraviroc is an antiretroviral drug that belongs to the family of the CCR5 coreceptor inhibitors. It has proven to be effective in increasing CD4 lymphocyte counts in both in treated and naïve patients, irrespective of the viral load.
The investigators hypothesize that adding Maraviroc to the antiretroviral treatment of discordant patients, defined as those having CD4 lymphocyte counts below 200 cells /mm3 during the last year, could lead to its immunological recovery.
60 patients will be included in this unicentric, prospective, randomized and stratified clinical trial. They will be randomized to either continue with its usual high activity antiretroviral therapy (HAART) treatment or to receive 300 mg of Maraviroc every 12 hours plus its usual treatment. After 24 weeks, lymphocyte counts will be assessed, as well as safety, clinical progression, immunological profile of the patients and the potential benefit of Maraviroc for HIV+ cirrhotic patients.

Jason Jones of North Platte pleaded not guilty Monday to burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, second degree arson and possession of methamphetamine.
Defense attorney Robert Lindemeier asked for more time to prepare the defense. Deputy Lincoln County Attorney Jennifer Wellan had no objection. Jones was told to return to court on Oct. 29.
Jones problems started Aug. 27 when police and firefighters were called around 4 a.m. to the 1700 block of W. Third on the report of a garage on fire. According to Assistant Fire Chief Dennis Thompson, flames were visible inside the garage when they arrived. They made entry and got the fire knocked down quickly. The contents of the garage, including a car, were destroyed and the garage was heavily damaged.
Investigators believe the fire was started by someone pulling the wires of an air compressor, causing an electrical arc. Police Information Officer Rodney Brown said investigators said a neighbor reported his car was stolen and last seen speeding down the alley away from the fire. Police found the car in the parking lot at Pacific Place Apartments, 500 N. Pacific Ave., with several tools that were identified by the owner of the burned garage, but didnt find the owner.
Police responded later that day to a disturbance at the apartments, where witnesses detained Jones and notified police. Jones remains in the county jail on a $12,500 bond.
In other action:
Donald Warfield, 69, of North Platte appeared for a status hearing on charges of sexual assault of a child. Defense attorney Pat Hays asked for a jury trial, which was set for Dec. 4.
Warfields is in jail on a $125,000 bond.
Warfield allegedly inappropriately touched the victim, now 15-years-old, beginning when she was seven and continuing for 3-4 years. There is no statute of limitations on child sexual assault in Nebraska. Warfield was also arrested in April for failing to register as a sex offender.
Christopher Fichtner, 31, of North Platte, pleaded not guilty to charges of theft by deception and second degree forgery. Defense attorney Maurice Green of McCook asked for time to discuss the case with the county attorneys office.
Fichtner was told to return to court Nov. 5 for a status hearing.
Fichtner wrote a check in late June morning for three vehicles at Janssen Motors and drove off with them, but didnt have the money.
Jeremiah Bloxton pleaded no contest to first-degree trespassing, criminal mischief and third-degree assault.
Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling asked for a pre-sentence investigation to determine restitution to the victim and said she would not object to an own recognizance release.
Sentencing was set for Oct. 12.
Bloxton has a long history of petty crimes. Since July 2011, he has been jailed a dozen times.

Fresh off Wednesday's approval in the House, the 2014 Farm Bill could be brought up for action in the Senate as early as Friday, Jan. 31. Senate Ag Committee chair Debbie Sen. Stabenow (D-Mich.) has said she wants the Senate to finish work on the bill no later than early next week.
"It's now up to the Senate to take the final step," she said. "The Senate has twice passed the farm bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. I have no doubt we'll do it again, and show that it is possible to do something to reduce the deficit and boost the economy when people work across the aisle."
The House's 251-166 vote included 162 Republicans and 89 Democrats for the bill; 63 Republicans and 103 Democrats opposed. Fourteen members of the House did not vote. A roll call vote is available here.
Prior to the vote, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a score for the bill, estimating direct spending for authorized programs would total $956 billion over 10 years, of which nearly 80% ($756 billion) would be for nutrition programs.
U.S. dairy producers won't likely feel the impact of the Farm Bill – at least on dairy policy – until later this fall. Under the bill, USDA must establish a Margin Protection Program for dairy producers no later than Sept. 1, 2014. The Dairy Title of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (pages 96-117) was outlined previously by Dairy Herd Management.
That would give dairy producers approximately seven months to determine whether they wish to participate. As the bill is currently written, all U.S. dairy operations will be eligible, provided they register (method to be determined by USDA) and pay an annual $100 fee to cover administrative costs.
If a participating dairy operation is operated by more than one producer, all will be treated as a single dairy operation. If a dairy producer operates two or more dairy operations, each must register separately to participate.
Dairy producers who to participate will need to establish a milk production history to determine how many pounds and percentages of annual milk production they wish to cover. Both the pounds of production and desired margin level will determine annual insurance premium costs on a per hundredweight basis.
Dairy operations may select margin insurance to protect between a $4.00/cwt. to $8.00/cwt. milk-feed price margin in 50¢ increments. They may also elect to cover a percentage of their milk production in 5% increments, beginning with 25% and not exceeding 90% of the production history.
There will be two tiers of pricing for annual premiums. The first 4 million lbs. of milk sold annually will have significantly lower premiums than milk production above 4 million lbs. The $4.00/cwt. margin coverage level is available at no cost, but the premiums become increasingly expensive as margins increase. Additionally, premiums below the $8.00 level will be discounted by 25% for the first two years of the program (2014 & 2015) for the first 4 million lbs. of production history.
USDA must also create administrative rules and enforcement procedures, and establish an appeals process.
In the interim, the bill provides for the temporary continuation of the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program until the Margin Protection Program is in place, or Sept. 1, 2014, whichever is sooner. Current milk and feed futures prices indicate no MILC payments would be made during the period, however.
The bill repeals the Dairy Product Price Support Program, Dairy Export Incentive Program and the Federal Milk Marketing Order Review Commission, but extends the Dairy Forward Pricing Program, the Dairy Indemnity Program and the Dairy Promotion and Research Program until 2018.
And, within 120 days of initial operation of the Margin Protection Program, USDA must establish and administer a dairy product donation program to address low-margin periods experienced by participating dairy operations; and provide nutrition assistance to individuals in low-income groups.

The Ice Cream Stand
This lesson printed from:
You will learn about the economic principles of supply, demand, price, and competition. At the end of the lesson you will work in groups to create ice cream stands, where you will sundaes and milkshakes. Since each group will not have enough ingredients to run their stands successfully, you will have to develop a plan to get the supplies you need from other groups in order to make the sundaes and the milkshakes. Your goal is to make the best sundae and milkshake you can at a competitive price, which also will turn a profit. Thus, keeping costs down is quite important. You also want to have an attractive ice cream stand. A group of adults will buy a sundae and milkshake from each of the competing groups. Each adult also will independently choose the best-looking ice cream stand and the quality of their sundae and milkshake.
After you learn about the concepts of supply, demand, and price, you will create an ice cream stand where you will sell sundaes and milkshakes. You will try to create an attractive looking ice cream stand where you can sell sundaes and milkshakes that taste good at a competitive, profit-making price. You will also be able to explain how supply and demand affect price.
Before beginning the lesson be prepared to answer the following questions:
- List five items you would like to buy if you had the money to buy them.
- List five items you would like to sell if you could find a buyer for these items.
- How do you think the price for an item is established?
How do you think suppliers of that product decide how many products they should produce?
Now that it is time to move on to the demand portion of the lesson, your teacher will ask you the following questions. How many World Series tickets would you be willing to buy at $20.00 each? How many would you be willing to buy at $50.00 each? At $100.00 each? At $500.00 each?
- What happens to the amount of something you want to buy when its price goes up?
- What happens to quantity demanded as the price rises?
- Describe the relationship between quantity demanded and price.
Your teacher will introduce the New York Yankees example. As a class, you will discuss the difficulty the Yankees have had selling their premium seats in the new stadium (some seats cost several thousand of dollars). Be sure to read the article Empty Seats Make Yankees Cut Some Premium Prices
Now it is time to move to the supply portion of the lesson, and your teacher will ask you the following questions.
- How many of you would be willing to babysit for $1.00 an hour? For $5.00 an hour? For $10.00 an hour? For $20.00 an hour?
- What is the relationship between quantity supplied (of babysitting labor, for example) and price?
- Does it makes sense to sell a product for less than the supplier paid for it?
Next, read the article Economics Basics: Demand and Supply
to review the principles of supply and demand.
Now you will determine how market price is established.
- Let's assume that at 40 cents a bottle the demand is 100 bottles of soda (pop). At $1.00 a bottle, the demand is 75 bottles. At $2.00 a bottle, the demand is 30 bottles. At $5.00 a bottle, the demand is 2 bottles. Place this data on the graph in the Appendix.
- Let's assume that at 40 cents a bottle, suppliers would provide no soda. At $1.00 a bottle, supplies would provide 75 bottles. At $2.00 a bottle, suppliers would provide 250 bottles. At $5.00 a bottle, suppliers would provide 500 bottles. Place this data on the graph in the Appendix.
- After you connect the dots for demand and supply, the graph will show the market clearing price or the market equilibrium price. This is where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. The market is cleared at this price. If price is higher than the market price, there will be a surplus in the market. If price is lower than the market price, there will be a shortage. In both instances, the market price will have to move up or down to clear the market. Show this using the graph in the Appendix. You may also want to revisit the website Economics Basics: Demand and Supply at this time.
Then, visit Morrows Dump Milk To Protest Low Price
to learn why farmers are deliberately dumping milk.
The following activity is designed to help you understand the main concepts within this lesson. After you and/or your teacher has explained and understand the concepts of supply, demand, and price, you will be ready for the class activity.
1. Your group will create an ice cream stand, where you can make sundaes and milkshakes. You will be judged on three points. One point is the attractiveness of your stand. Another is the taste of the sundae you make (Does it taste good?). The final point the taste of the milkshake. (Does it taste good?). A group of adults will independently do the judging. The teacher will pay $15.00 to the team for the best stand, $15.00 to the team with the best sundae (plus the price of the sundae), and $15.00 to the team with the best milkshake (plus the price of the milkshake). Your group must set a price for their sundae and their milkshake which will allow them to make a profit. The price of the sundae and the milkshake will be a factor in deciding which one is best. Your group must set a price for your sundae and your milkshake; the price you set must allow you to make a profit. The price of the sundae and the milkshake will be a factor in deciding which one is best. The cost of making one sundae is 25 cents, plus the cost of any supplies you had to buy; the cost of a making one milkshake is 35 cents, plus costs.
2. You will need to develop a plan for obtaining all of the necessary ingredients for making your sundae and milkshake. No group will have all of the necessary ingredients. Your group will need to work well as a team, divide jobs, and formulate a plan for obtaining the ingredients your group will need.
3. You will have between about 30 minutes to design your stand (including menu) and make your sundae and milkshake.
4. Each adult will independently judge all the stands and products after the activity is completed.
You now have an idea of how price gets determined. It is based on supply and demand. In running a business such as an ice cream shop, business skills are essential. Developing a business plan is crucial to being successful in the real world. Understanding the forces of supply and demand as well as competition in the marketplace are essential to being successful in the real world.
You will write a brief paragraph explaining how forces of supply and demand determine price. Also you will write about what did or didn't make your group successful in this activity. Finally, you will write a paragraph explaining three or four specific ideas you learned from this lesson.
Explain why the Cash for Clunkers program has been so successful. Explain how forces of supply and demand worked in with the application of this program.
What might happen to cars sales once the money for this program runs out?
Are there some items you would buy no matter what they might cost? What might these items be? Why would you buy them if they were really expensive?
Would you ever be willing to sell something at a loss? Why?

Topic: new member
Hello. I have been reading the message boards for a couple of months now and finally decided that I need to post. My husband was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. It all started last September with pruritis. His quack of a doctor told him to drink more water and use plenty of sunscreen. I knew this wasn't right and sent him back to tell the doctor that he needed a blood test. The lab work revealed high LFT's. His bilirubin was 2.5 and his alkaline phosphatase was 727. This news sent us for an ultrasound and CT scan. Both revealed dilated bile ducts. Next we were sent to a surgeon (gall bladder removal), and 2 different Gastroenterologists. Finally we ended up in the ER in early December with jaundice and a bilirubin count over 20. They attempted ERCP and PTC at the first hospital with no success. He was then transferred to another hospital where they were able to do the PTC and put in a plastic sent and external biliary drain. FYI the gall bladder was never removed since that was not the problem. Now we go every 6 weeks to have the bag replaced. They never have gotten a biopsy which shows cancer cells. However, they tell us that it is cholangiocarcinoma and that it is very difficult to get a positive biopsy with a brushing. His oncologist told us that he is 99% sure it is CC. Has anyone else had this experience with a biopsy. I read online that biliary brushing is only about 35% effective.
I have more questions. But,will start with this. Thanks for any and all info you can give me.

I keep reading this. The deadline is 30 games away folks! The Pacers need a b/u PG NOW .... not at the trade deadline. How is getting a PG in mid Feb going to help NOW? At the trade deadline, the season will be almost 2/3 over. Getting a back up PG at the deadline will be like closing the barn door after the horse got out. The Pacers need help at b/u PG now, or Hill will be so wore out he won't be worth a tinker's damn come the latter part of the season or in the playoffs if the Pacers are fortunate enough to get in the playoffs.
The bench unit coming in was going to be Ian-Tyler-Green-Young/Lance-DJ. There's plenty of athleticism there, it made perfect sense to get a PG who could get out on the break and presumably handle the ball/create in the half court. I'd argue he was a pretty damned near perfect fit stylistically with that group, and yet we never saw the team really go up tempo with Augustine and his ability to create in the half court magically disappeared. I get that he was shooting the ball like ****, but a PG doesn't forget how to pass the ball overnight, which makes me question the offense Vogel ran with DJ in the game.

I'm good with this. Ben hasn't seen much time this year and D.J. isn't performing at the level we expected him to.
Turner and Young are THE FUTURE!
More proof that the off season was a fail.

At least with TJ there was the back injuries and the coach. I don't understand DJ being so bad at all. PGs really do come here to die.
No, it's January 10 but this is exactly what I called a few days ago. No way we are going to keep Ben past the Jan 10th deadline if he proves he cant play(or if he was just gonna ride the pine). He was either going to get a chance to play or get cut pretty soon and the Pacer choose the former.
I am guessing he still gets cut before Jan 10th I don't see him being very good he will probably be at DJ's level at best.
Wells has an article up about this. Vogel didn't want to make a lot of changes at once, but it sounds like he's thinking about making more later on. Apparently Johnson and Plumlee have impressed him lately, so between Miles and Jeff, I expect Tyler to be benched relatively soon. Which he should be barring improvement. Maybe they try Orlando in place of Gerald at some point? That might be interesting, but only if OJ can find his shot. He had impressive FG%'s in college, which made his struggles since summer league kind of baffling to me. Seemed like a guy who can not only hit shots, but hit contested shots as well, which is quite an asset if it ever translates to this level.
I am sure others, like myself had watched Ben play at ND. I have to say I watched over 40 games with him playing there and I think he will do fine as a Pacers, except for bringing the ball up in full court pressure. Once he gets in the game and calms down which may take a few games, I think he will do great in the half court set. He plays tough and plays within a system and I don't know how many big shots I've seen him make from a deep 3, just to many to remember. I really liked, enjoyed watching him and I can say I have only watched a couple ND games since he is no longer there. He was really fun to watch to keep my interest.
So, Props to Ben and play your heart out!! Good Luck!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
The day Tyler gets benched(then subsquently not re-signed) will be the day I been waiting for that day for a long time(to be honest since that draft night I was so pissed that night)

For the success that Bird had, this draft pick was flat awful.

Now we can truly have the Hans-bros playing for us.
TBH, I think this is more of a motivational thing. Trying to get D.J. Augustin to get motivated by benching him for a game or two
IU football??? Horrible example, at least use a basketball refrence
Yeah...my guess is that if DJ is traded...it will be for the long-term contract for a Backup PG to help some Team clear a long-term contract.
Maybe Ridnour or Jimmer ( with filler )?
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I hate to bring this up again but I still have no idea why we didn't keep McBob over Tyler. McBob has his weaknesses as well but he brings more to the table than Tyler. I hated being right on this one.
Pretty sure we could get Josh for Tyler right now.
If games are won and lost on a calculator and piece of paper, then why do we bother to play them?
Sure you're right. Not sure it will work.

Has such a strategy on the offensive end ever been implemented successfully by a Coach?

-Emiliano Zapata
I guess the question then becomes which PG is available that is better suited for a half-court offense?
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
This bench will never be better than average unless they add some veteran leadership to it. I'm not a big fan of any bench that doesn't have at least one veteran, experienced player on it.
With that said, I think Ben Hansbrough can't be much worse than DJ Augustin. I'd love to have them sign Mike Bibby and cut Ben instead.
Id be happy with either. Jimmer would be good with lance.

Many databases have field names that are deliberately case insensitive. Depending on the database you're liable to get your field names back in either upper or lower case. Which one you get depends on the database you have.
If you quote your field names then you will always get them back in the case you sent them as. This is much more convenient for an automated system.
And now the framework has to translate from the canonical case back to the original case that the programmer specified and is expecting. (Ruby is case sensitive, just like Perl is.)
While there are other ways to work around it, the simplest way is just to quote the field name and watch problems disappear on you.

- Too wide for doorway
Best Uses
- All sorts of stuff
- Moving mulch bags
- Moving soil and compost
- Moving stove pellets
I really like this cart. For years, my wife and I have used a construction-sized wheelbarrow for gardening, which I like because it's maneuverable and fits through our garage and porch doorways. However, this cart is much easier to handle in other ways, and certainly easier for my wife to manage. It's not perfect, though. I generally like the construction, but the slide-in tailgate on ours does not fit properly. It has a novel design for the ends of the top of the tailgate to clip over plastic buttons on the ends of the upper rails, but it appears ours was not manufactured correctly and the clips would not go over the rail ends until I bent them out quite a ways. Otherwise, the tail gate won't slide down all the way, leaving an inch or so gap across the bottom. I contacted Gardener's Supply, who looked at one in their store. It sounds like theirs may be made the same way, but I'm not sure. I have not (yet) tried contacting the manufacturer directly. This is really not a big deal, but I see their intentions with the design and I'm disappointed they didn't quite build it that way. I would definitely buy one again, as advantages outweigh this inconvenience. My comment about going through doorways....I haul stove pellets to the back porch for winter, and the wheels are just a little too wide for the doorway. Not a fault of the cart! Also, it does require a little care in loading, or it will tip up if too much weight is added behind the wheels. Again, not rocket science, it's just different than the old wheelbarrow.

- Moving plants
I use this cart for moving plants and heavy bags from the driveway up to the back yard, compost from the pile to the garden and wood from the woodpile to the house. Because it has two wheels instead of one, it is a hundred times easier to maneuver than a wheelbarrow. When folded, it takes up very little room in my small garage.
- Better than a wheelbarrow
- Easy to maneuver

- Very easy to store
Best Uses
- Moving plants wood
I use it to move plants and heavy bags from driveway to backyard, and to haul wood from the woodpile to the house. I love that it folds up and doesn't take up much room in my small garage. There really isn't anything negative for me to say!
- Carries lots of weight
- Easy to manipulate
- Lasts forever
Best Uses
- Transports all with ease
This was my Mother's Day gift to myself. Now I have one for the front of the house and the older one for the back of the house. I have had the older one for so long and have carried so many items in it that the handles are finally starting to bend. I'm still using it, however. This product is well worth the cost.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Epizyme, Inc., a company leading the creation of a new class of personalized therapeutics for patients with genetically defined cancers, announced today the publication of breakthrough research in the treatment of genetically defined lymphomas, in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.
Epizyme's landmark research demonstrates for the first time that a potent, small molecule inhibitor selectively kills lymphoma cells bearing genetic mutations in EZH2, a histone methyltransferase (HMT). HMTs are an important epigenetic target class, with genetic alterations strongly associated with the development of several types of cancer. Cancers with genetic alterations of EZH2 require EZH2 enzymatic activity for proliferation, suggesting that EZH2 is a driving oncogene in these cancers.
"This publication shows that Epizyme's proprietary EZH2 inhibitor EPZ5687 selectively kills lymphoma cells bearing change-of-function mutations in EZH2 by permeating cells and selectively inhibiting H3K27 methylation, without an effect on any other histone methyl marks," said Kevin Kuntz, Ph.D., Associate Director of Chemistry, Epizyme and a corresponding author of the paper. "This paper demonstrates Epizyme's leadership in translating breakthroughs in biological understanding into personalized therapeutics for genetically defined cancers."
Key findings from the paper include:
"These results provide compelling support for the hypothesis that the change-of-function mutations in EZH2 in a set of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are oncogenic, playing a driving role in the development of cancer in these patients. The dependency of these cancers on altered EZH2 activity suggests the potential of EZH2 inhibitors as personalized cancer therapeutic agents," said Eric Hedrick, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Epizyme.
The paper titled, "A selective inhibitor of EZH2 blocks H3K27 methylation and kills mutant lymphoma cells," was authored by Sarah K. Knutson, Tim J. Wigle and colleagues at Epizyme, and is available online.
About EpizymeEpizyme is leading the creation of small molecule histone methyltransferase inhibitors (HMTi), a new class of personalized therapeutics for patients with genetically defined cancers. Genetic alterations in HMTs, a family of epigenetic enzymes, drive multiple human diseases. Our approach represents the future of healthcare by matching better medicines with the right patients.

Nigel Reed Returns to Rep Stage as Barrymore
Rep Stage, the professional Equity theatre in residence at Howard Community College (HCC), continues its 19th season with William Luce's "Barrymore," directed by Steven Carpenter ("Hysteria," "Mrs. Farnsworth"). The faded glamour of the 1940s theatre comes to life as Rep Stage favorite and Helen Hayes Award-winning actor Nigel Reed ("Travels With My Aunt," "Mrs. Warren's Profession," "The Judas Kiss") reunites with the director of 2008's "Trumbo: Red, White, and Blacklisted" to portray stage legend John Barrymore as he rehearses a comeback performance of his triumphal "Richard III." Mr. Reed delivers a comedic yet haunting portrayal of the acclaimed stage and screen actor from the legendary Barrymore family, icons of the American Theatre. "Barrymore" opens October 26 and runs through November 13, 2011 in the Smith Theatre of the Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Center (HVPA) on the campus of HCC.
Michael Stebbins, Rep Stage's producing artistic director, chose "Barrymore" with Nigel Reed in mind. "I've had 'Barrymore' on my 'list' for a number of years," says Stebbins. "I was front row center when Christopher Plummer performed the role on Broadway and I've never forgotten the experience. A couple of years ago, while vising New York City, I was talking with a fellow director who also wanted to produce 'Barrymore.' He said, 'You can't do 'Barrymore' without an actor capable of 'being Barrymore.' I told my friend that I had a Barrymore in the form of actor Nigel Reed. He replied, 'You most certainly do,' as he had directed both Nigel and myself in Rep's production of 'Mrs. Warren's Profession' a few seasons ago. I spoke to Nigel about it, and he was sold on it. And, since Nigel worked with director Steven Carpenter so beautifully on Rep's 'Trumbo: Red, White and Blacklisted,' I thought this would be an ideal teaming. I hope audiences will be highly entertained and moved by this production."
Press performance is Saturday, October 29 at 8 p.m. For photos and reservations, contact Mike Scrivener in the HCC Office of Public Relations and Marketing at 443-518-3133 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
A post-show reception follows the Saturday, October 29 evening performance and free post-show discussions follow the November 4 and 11 performances.
A pre-show lecture by assistant film professor and critic Mike Giuliano, who will speak on "Barrymore on Screen," will complement "Barrymore" before the November 12 matinee beginning at 12:30 p.m. in Monteabaro Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information on post-show discussions and the pre-show lecture, visit www.repstage.org.
About the Play:
"Barrymore" was originally produced at the Stratford Festival in Ontario, Canada, and opened in September of 1996, starring Christopher Plummer as Barrymore and directed by three-time Tony Award winner Gene Saks. The production then toured several cities in the United States, opening on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre in March, 1997. The New York Times praised "Barrymore," calling it "Fiendishly entertaining and blisteringly sad.... as fluid, stinging and warming as a Manhattan cocktail." The Chicago Tribune called the play "Big, open, technically brilliant and emotionally true. It is a work of a very high, very rare caliber."
Meet the Playwright:
William Luce wrote his Broadway and London success "The Belle of Amherst" for Julie Harris, who won her fifth Tony Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Emily Dickinson. The record album received a Grammy Award. The PBS production won three Christopher Awards. Thames Television's production of "The Belle..." starred Claire Bloom and won an Emmy Award for Best Foreign Production. For her portrayal of Isak Dinesen in Luce's "Lucifer's Child," Julie Harris received a Tony nomination. Harris also starred in Luce's "Brontë," written for WGBH and Irish Television. The WGBH production won the Peabody Award and Columbia University's Armstrong Award. "Lillian," Luce's Broadway play on Lillian Hellman, starred Tony Award actress Zoe Caldwell, with productions again in London and the Sydney Opera House. Luce's play "Bravo, Caruso!" celebrated The Cleveland Play House's 75th anniversary, and starred Joseph Mascolo and Joseph Sicari. Luce's play "Zelda" starred Olga Bellin off-Broadway. Later, as "The Last Flapper," the play starred Piper Laurie. Luce's two plays, "Chanel" and "Nijinsky," premiered at Parco Theatre in Tokyo. For American soprano Renée Fleming, Luce wrote "My Business Is To Love," which Fleming premiered in Lincoln Center and London's Barbican Centre, with Harris and Bloom co-starring. Luce's Broadway hit "Barrymore" starred Christopher Plummer as legendary John Barrymore. Plummer won a Tony Award for Best Actor. Barrymore's UK production, titled "One Helluva Life," starred Tony Award winner Tom Conti. For the Sydney Opera House production of "Barrymore," actress Judy Davis directed Australian actor Barry Otto. Luce's "Sound Portrait of William Shakespeare" for NPR starred David Warner, David Dukes, Peter Donat, Arthur Hill, Julie Harris, Joan Hackett and Marian Mercer.

- How to Read a Study Record
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combinations of pazopanib and either lapatinib or trastuzumab that can be given to patients with advanced cancer. The safety of the drug combinations will also be studied.
Pazopanib is designed to block the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients needed for tumor growth. This may prevent or slow the growth of cancer cells.
Lapatinib is designed to prevent or slow down the growth of cancer cells by blocking 2 proteins on the surface of the cancer cell, which are HER 1 and HER 2 receptors.
Trastuzumab is designed to prevent or slow down the growth of cancer cells by blocking proteins inside the cancer cell, called the Her2/neu receptor.

|Phase I Study of Pazopanib in Combination With Lapatinib or Trastuzumab in Subjects With Solid Tumors
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Pazopanib in Combination with Lapatinib or Trastuzumab [ Time Frame: 28 day cycle ]MTD is defined as highest dose in which incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was less than 33% (approximately two or more participants in a dose cohort).
- Tumor Response [ Time Frame: End of second 28 day cycle ]Computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, and/or x-ray to check the status of the disease. Tumor response calculated by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and World Health Organization Working Group (WHO) criteria. A tumor response is defined as one or more of the following: (1) stable disease for more than or equal to 4 months, (2) decrease in measurable tumor (sentinel lesions) by more than or equal to 20% by RECIST criteria, (3) decrease in tumor markers by more than or equal to 25% or (4) a partial response according to the Choi criteria.

Here is the link to the ABA vote as well. Rasko's info. at the start and RCarey's info. further down the thread should help substatiate the case. If this isn't enough I'll search for more.

Hunting can become available when you reach level 15, and can travel to South Africa; it is an option to use 10E and $500 to hunt for animals in the hope of making a profit
There is 3 types of hunting, beginner session, standard session and advanced session, all 3 bring in the same amount of experience, although vary on profit depending on your hunting skill
Note: it's advisable to use a donator pack when hunting the extra energy will help out greatly
Hunting skill
To get your hunting skill to 100 will take a lot of time, and you will most likely lose out on a lot of fighting stats. You start off at 0 and to begin with you gain under 0.1 per hunt, so a full energy bar will get you a skill level of about 1.2. Also, it should be noted that over time, your skill gain falls exponentially so you will gain more stats when your skill level is at 2, rather than 10.
Which session?
Generally when hunting, you should start of at beginner purely for the extra profit, and move onto standard at roughly mid twenties, when you start making more profit doing standard sessions than beginner sessions.
Yu will want to move from standard session to advanced session when you get to around level mid seventies, when again, you make more profit from doing advanced sessions rather than standard sessions.
A maximized skill you should be making about 800K per full energy bar, if you are a donator, although this will take a long time, and a poor strategy for the active players.
Hunting in mission
In the mission operation ancient, you have to go to South Africa to hunt for raw ivory, finding the raw ivory depends totally on luck, hunting skill or sessions have no effect on this.
Tips for hunting
It may be advisable to work in a farm or zoo with the hunting special which will give 15% income when hunting.
Another way to boost profits is to the survival skills in general studies education course, which gives a further boost of 15% income.
Finally, while away hunting, it may be helpful to bank your money to return with the interest gathered, as another way of making money while you hunt.
Hunting can gain you up to three honours, for getting you skill level to 50,75 and 100 respectively

Breast Cancer
I went for a mammogram and was sent for another. They told me they saw something. I had an ultra sound which showed nothing. Now they want to see me every 6 months for a year at least. Why?
It really depends on what was seen on the mammogram. Sometimes minor abnormalities that are not likely to be cancer are just followed over time.
