Two hours before the event started, my cellphone rang. "Is there any chance you can come dressed up as Sponge Bob?" First I blamed my poor Arabic for not understanding the organizer well. "You mean if I can sing a song about Sponge Bob?" I tried. "No, we would like you to wear a Sponge Bob costume." Aha. "I'm very sorry but I don't have one." "What about your colleagues?" I thought about Seereen and Amira who were going to join me in the workshop, and imagining them in a Sponge Bob suit made me smile. "I'm terribly sorry but none of us can dress up as Sponge Bob. We can sing and dance with the children and that's it!"
Two hours later, we arrived at the event. For one and a half hours (!) the children were involved in a wonderful interactive music-theater show with the local star Khalid Massou. They had lots of fun and we wondered if the children would have any energy left for our workshop later…When we thought it would be our turn, a special guest suddenly arrived on the stage: it was Sponge Bob himself! All I could think of was how the organizer managed to find a SpongeBob in the two hours after she had called me.
Finally it was our turn. We did some music activities, danced, sang, and just before we wanted to start our last activity, suddenly all children ran away. What happened? Did we do something wrong? Did the children have enough from all the dancing and singing activities? I looked around me to see if maybe something might have frightened them, but there was nothing to see except of the sound men who seemed relieved that they could finally go home.
The organizer walked to us and apologized: they had set up a big air castle around the corner and someone announced it to the kids. Our workshop could not compete with the air castle and that was completely fine: although there was maybe an overdose of activities tonight, we only saw happy children faces!

Phil Schiller takes the stand in Apple/Samsung damages trial; calls the iPhone a 'bet the company' type of product
Apple executive Phil Schiller took the stand on Thursday as the Apple/Samsung re-trial on damages entered its third day. As a quick refresher, this sole purpose of this particular trial is to determine just how much in damages Samsung owes to Apple for infringing upon Apple's design and utility patents.
Schiller took the stand late on Thursday, giving Apple's marketing chief just enough time to introduce himself and touch on just how important and risky the iPhone was when Apple began working on it. Echoing a sentiment that was prevalent during Apple and Samsung's original trial in the summer of 2012, Schiller intimated that the iPhone was a huge undertaking that would have had an adverse effect on the company had it floundered.
CNET was there covering the latest proceedings and relayed some choice quotes from the stand.
"There were huge risks [with the first iPhone]," Schiller said. "We had a saying inside the company that it was a 'bet the company' product. We were starting to do well again in iPod. Then here we're going to invest all these resources, financial as well as people in creating this product."
Also of note is that Schiller said that "almost everyone" at Apple now works on the iPhone in some capacity or another. Given how Apple has increasingly melded iOS and OS X, this certainly seems plausible in a broad sense.
When Schiller returned to the stand on Friday, he explained rather bluntly that Samsung's initiative to copy Apple's iPhone designs made it much more difficult for Apple's marketing team to do their job to the extent that differentiating Apple products from the competition became more of a challenge.
Schiller added that with Samsung copying the iPhone, both in terms of software and aesthetic design, it's been "harder for us to get new customers and bring them into our ecosystem."
Indeed, this was a point Apple tried to emphasize during its first trial, namely that the iOS ecosystem is "stickier" than other smartphone platforms. Consequently, a lost sale when a customer opts for a Samsung device over an iPhone is compounded as Apple is not just losing one sale, but potentially a number of other sales to what may have otherwise been a longtime iOS user.
"At the end of the day," Schiller explained, "there's a cumulative effect of doing all of this that's incredibly damaging."
Schiller also added that Samsung's smartphones put Apple's design prowess into question for the first time.
The trial is scheduled to run through early next week.

Lesson Plan – Discuss It
Discussion and listening skills – A useful way to stimulate discussion on a range of cultural diversity issues and develop constructive discussion skills.
- To stimulate discussion about issues of cultural diversity.
- To develop the skills of constructive discussion.
A series of statements about cultural diversity.
Note: The teacher should exercise judgement in terms of the group's experience/knowledge of the subject matter and their level of discussion skills.
What to do
- The activity should be preceded with some guidelines, and a discussion of why they are important. Guidelines should reflect the nature of the group involved, but could include:
- listen and respond respectfully to the views of others
- think about what others say
- speak only when nominated by the teacher
- check that you have understood someone else by using reflective listening techniques
- Students should understand the difference between a discussion and an argument, and everyone should feel free to share their views.
- Clear some space in the classroom where students can move around freely.
- Label one side of the room with the word agree; the other side with disagree; and the middle area with unsure.
- Read out a statement and ask students to move to the area which represents their view on the issue.
- You may need to read the statement out a couple of times whilst the students think and decide. Don't change the statement or explain it. If students do not understand, they should stand in the unsure area.
- Move around the room, asking students to give reasons for their views. Challenge their opinions and encourage other students to do so as well. The purpose of this is not to put the students' opinions down, but to facilitate discussion.
- If students are swayed in their initial position by the discussion, they move to the appropriate area.
- Continue with other statements.
- Conclude the activity with feedback to the students about the discussion skills they have displayed.
Extension activities
- Follow up with other sessions on any misinformation that has emerged.
- Debate one of the issues that has generated a lot of discussion on both sides.
- Use one of the issues as a topic for a written argument.
Discuss it sample statements
- All shop signs in Australia should be in English only.
- Australia has lots of space and we should share it with people from war-torn countries.
- People shouldn't be allowed to come to Australia unless they speak English.
- Detention centres should be banned.
- Australia Day should be celebrated on a different date.
- There is nothing I can personally do about racism.
- People who migrate to Australia should leave their old culture behind.
- Migrants from the same country shouldn't be allowed to live together in the same location – they should be spread out.
- Having a diverse population makes Australia an interesting place to live.

The foreman needs h it's rivets on the hurry-up. You have 30 seconds, which can of course be extended with a final combo, to find all 21. Thankfully, they're all in a pretty tight run around the level. You can almost always see the next one and no difficult moves are required.
Start by grinding across the water ahead of you. Hop off and ollie straight onto the short wall in front of you. Stay on the wall, ollieing the gaps. Hop into the barge and grind the left side and then ollie to the left onto the edge of the dock platform. Hold th it's grind as it curves around. You're now heading toward the start point of the level. Hit the medium QP ahead of you to grab another rivet. Land and head across the area to the opposite QP. Hit it and land grinding on the rail above it. Hold the grind as it turns to the left. Ollie the gab, grab the rivet, and then hop off before it turns again. Land and grind the coping on the short QP to your left. It will curve slightly rightward. Hop off and to the right at the end. Grab the rivet on the warehouse platform and then stay straight. The last rivet it's above the QP in the container in front of you. Easier said then done.
Dog Chase
Start by grinding the edge in front of you. Ollie the gap and land grinding into the first bone. Hold the grind as it turns to the right. Ollie another gap and grind for the second bone. Hop off the end and veer slightly rightward. Grind the edge of the low QP on your right for the third bone. Grind to the end and head slightly leftward for the fourth bone, which it's near the barges. Lastly, turn slightly rightward and hit the QP near the moving crane for the fifth bone. The coll it'sion detection for the last bones sucks and you have to gap toward the next QP, so hit it with speed and a good angle.
(Do the run in one combo, which it'sn't much harder, for the 5 Bones 1 Combo gap.)

You start facing the "caution" QPs. Hit the left one and land in a grind on the rail above. Ollie the gap toward the big metal structure, grab the C, and continue grinding. A bit before the end of the rail -- exact timing will take some trial and error depending on your speed -- ollie off and land grinding on the edge of the pool in the barge. You'll run into the O on the rail. As soon as the rail turns rightward, ollie off and land in a manual. Make your way across the barge lengthw it'se and transfer the spine halfway across, grabbing the M in the process. Revert the landing and continue your manual across the other barge. Grab the B as you air out of the barge. Land in a manual and make toward the crane. The last O it's at the base of the crane. Run into it.

Take a second to build up your special meter, as you'll need all the help you can with th it's one. Skate forward and ollie into a grind on the white rail to your left. The edge angles upward. Ollie at the very end to get onto the roof. Land in a grind going straight forward. Ollie off the roof at the other end and you'll sail into the O. Land in a grind down below. Pop off and into a manual between the buildings. The M it's on the side of the right building. Either wallride into it, ollie into it, or grind the rail into it. No matter what you do, enter the manual command immediately after grabbing it.. Continue straight across the area to the QP below the building in front of you. You have to spine transfer to the roof. Land and revert into a manual across the roof and then launch slightly leftward using the QP at the edge across from here you landed. You'll grab the B on the way up to the higher roof. Land in a revert and then manual back across the high roof, which it's very small. The last O it's above the QP at the edge of the roof.
Gap the Suspended Containers
Rat Race: Catch the Rat
Th it's part it's tricky. You have to time your ollie of th it's grind so that you land grinding on the striped pole toward the center of the level. If you ollie to early you'll end up on the ground. If you ollie too late you'll end up flying toward the starting point. (If you end up on the ground, then quickly spine transfer from the lower QP to the roof and head toward the beams on the warehouse to your right.) When you make it to the beams on the side of the next warehouse, the grind will take you on a u-turn. Leap across the gap to the rooftop and follow the grind until it drops you near the edge, where you'll most likely hit the QP, which it's fine. The rat it's going to jump down through a whole in the roof. Jump into the glass ceiling and you'll d it'scover a QP leading toward the ramp over the water. Drop down, hit the ramp, and land on the other side, where the rat it's sitting. You've done it!

Francesca, 23, who has moved into a three-bedroom 'Abode 1100' property with partner Toby Grimmitt, thought she had seen all that new builds had to offer: "We had already seen Redrow Homes' Heritage Collection homes and they were all gorgeous properties. We absolutely loved them. But when we walked into their Abode show home next-door we just immediately thought 'wow, this is the future of housing'."
Abode is Redrow's contemporary homes collection; its newer range of modern designs for those seeking a different kind of living, with large open-plan areas and in-vogue features like underfloor heating and wet rooms.
Francesca says: "It made such an impression on us because it was so stunning, the open plan ground floor, the underfloor heating, and the beautiful kitchen...for us, it was absolutely perfect.
"We also wanted to buy an eco-friendly house which we know will be economical for us too. This was it!"
It's all the more exciting for Francesca, who works at Lancaster and Morecambe College, and Toby, 26, an operative technician at Heysham Power Station, because it is their first own home together.
"We have lived together but always rented," says Francesca, "but we thought it was time to get our own place and move onto the property ladder. We both have our careers and we wanted to own a home, it makes more sense especially when many places cost more to rent than it would do to pay a mortgage.
"We went for the three-bedroom Abode home because Toby and I have been together for seven years – we met at college – and this home suits us both now and will become our family home in the future."
Toby's sister and her partner had already bought a Heritage Collection property at the neighbouring Riverside View development.
The couple also used the government's Help to Buy scheme, which reduces the initial cost of a property by 20% via an equity loan which is interest free for five years and allows the purchaser to put down a deposit of just 5%.
"While we could just about have afforded the full price now we didn't want to over- stretch ourselves when we didn't have to, especially if there was help available to make life easier for us in the early years.
"That's what it's there for, to help people get onto the property ladder and if you know you will be staying there for a while, you can save up and pay off the loan when the interest free period is up, or get the better interest rates after that."
Built along the banks of the River Lune, Abode at Riverside View offers a range of three-bedroom homes, currently available from £239,995.
The development is only five minutes' drive from Lancaster, and trains from the station just a mile away offer regular services to Preston, Manchester and beyond.

It would be interesting to discover user opinion from a wider survey. You'd have to include the font technology they they based their comments on too, as you wouldn't want to be confused by poor implementations. I've found that when I have to use Microsoft Windows, I have to use large fonts because the smaller ones are unreadable. On my own machine, I can happily use smaller fonts and everything remains far more legible. Apart from the Acorn RISC OS font manager, which is built-in to my computer, the only other system I have only seen the Microsoft font smoothing.

Chest wall deformities, including pectus excavatum (sunken chest) and its opposite, pectus carinatum (protruding chest), affect one in 400 children or teens.
Florida's Leader in the Treatment of Chest Wall Deformities
The Chest Wall Deformity Center of Excellence at Miami Children's Hospital is Florida's leader in the assessment and treatment of chest wall deformities, and is the only center in the state offering comprehensive treatment for the more rare pectus carinatum.
In addition to congenital chest wall deformities, the center also provides care for children and teens with chest irregularities occurring as a result of cancer surgery.
Miami Children's Hospital has long been a leader in treatment of chest wall deformities. Over the decades, hundreds of patients have enjoyed the physiologic and esthetic benefits of chest remodeling. In 1997, the surgeons here were the second in the nation to perform the minimally invasive Nuss repair for pectus excavatum.
Pectus Excavatum
Pectus excavatum, Latin for "hollowed chest," is the most common chest wall deformity. It may also be referred to as sunken chest, hollow chest, or concave chest. This condition is characterized by a distinctly depressed sternum (breastbone), which in some patients is evident at birth, and for others develops later, typically during adolescence. In severe cases, pectus excavatum can affect the heart and lungs, while less severe cases often impact a child's or teen's self-image.
Patients with pectus excavatum may experience shortness of breath, chest pain, and exercise intolerance. Surgery may be necessary to relieve discomfort and prevent heart and breathing abnormalities.
Patient Evaluation by the Center:
Physicians at the Chest Wall Deformity Center use computed tomography (CT) scans to image the internal structures of the chest to assess the severity of the depression. They may also arrange for pulmonary function and cardiac evaluations to determine the impact of the deformity on each individual.
The Haller index (dividing the width of the rib cage by the distance from the sternum to the spine) is often used to evaluate the severity of pectus excavatum. A normal index is about 2.5, while an index greater than 3.2 may be severe enough to indicate surgical correction.
Surgical Treatment Options:
The Chest Wall Deformity Center offers both traditional surgeries as well as minimally-invasive operations for pectus excavatum treatment. Options are reviewed and a course of treatment for pectus excavatum is selected with input from the family, based on the severity and asymmetry of the defect. Operative repair is customized to best correct the specific condition noted in each patient.
The Ravitch procedure, developed in the 1940s, is a technique that involves opening the chest cavity. With this technique, small sections of rib cartilage are removed, and the sternum is raised. Metal bars, called struts, may be implanted to hold the chest wall in place to reshape the chest. These may then be removed about six months after the operation.
The Nuss procedure, developed in the 1990s, is a minimally invasive procedure. With this pectus excavatum treatment, a small incision is created under each armpit, with a third tiny incision made for insertion of a thin camera. The camera guides the surgeon in implanting a curved metal bar under the sternum allowing immediate correction of the sunken appearance of the chest. These bars may be removed after several years, once the new bone structure is established.
Pectus Carinatum
Pectus carinatum, also known as pigeon chest, is a chest wall deformity in which the sternum (breastbone) and ribs protrude. Other names are chest protrusion, protruding chest or protruding sternum. The condition may be caused by excessive growth of cartilage. Pectus carinatum can be present at birth, although it can also occur during adolescence, emerging suddenly during the growth spurt at puberty. The condition can be associated with certain genetic disorders or syndromes, and sometimes arises following open heart surgeries in which the sternum is split.
Patient Evaluation by the Center:
Pretreatment assessment of pectus carinatum may include physician evaluation, photos and measurements of the chest wall.
Nonsurgical Treatment: The Chest Wall Deformity Center of Excellence at Miami Children's Hospital is the only facility in Florida to offer an FDA-approved bracing treatment for pectus carinatum in addition to comprehensive surgical options for children and teens.
Chest bracing therapy is a nonsurgical method to treat pectus carinatum that utilizes a customized chest-wall brace, custom built for the specifics of each patient, to reduce the chest protrusion over time. The brace is worn under clothing and, in combination with an exercise program, may completely correct the problem. The duration of bracing depends on the type and severity of the protrusion, but most defects typically respond well with six to eight months of treatment.
Surgical Treatment Options: Surgery may be suggested for for some patients with moderate to severe pectus carinatum, as well as those who cannot tolerate bracing.
The Ravitch technique, developed in the 1940s, is similar to the procedure developed for pectus excavatum and involves opening the chest wall. With this technique, small sections of rib cartilage are removed. The sternum is then flattened, with correction noted immediately after surgery.

How much are you willing to lose per hour to provide corporate #wilfare to the NFL?
from The Deets by Ed Kohler
If you plan to spend some time losing 15 cents per hand while drinking a beer, how much can you expect to lose? That comes down to how fast you can play. Once you're familiar with the games, it seems reasonable that you could play a hand every 15 seconds (probably faster). At 15 seconds, you'll lose 60 cents per minute on average or $36/hour.

When you plan, you begin with A B C
from streets.mn by Andrew Owen
Of course, there are many instances of themed clusters of street names in the region. The map includes some of these, such as the great lakes names southeast of the University and the several names in southeast Minneapolis associated with Longfellow's Song of Hiawatha (including, unexpectedly, Standish). In this post I focus on sequences—sets of street names that include some sort of ordering. I also focus on named rather than numbered sequences. (The region's various street numbering systems have some interesting features as well; I hope to explore them in a future article.)

LSU basketball Jarell Martin.JPG
ESPN executive Justin Connolly said that every SEC basketball program will have at least eight games televised annually on the new network that starts in August
(Hilary Scheinuk)
ATLANTA - Five months and counting before the start of ESPN's SEC Network, and Justin Connolly hasn't slowed down yet.
Just in the last few weeks, Connolly, an ESPN senior vice president in charge of the new venture with the SEC, has been making announcements left and right.
Less than two weeks ago, the Dish Network and its 14.1 million customers came aboard the SEC Network train that already had AT&T U-Verse under contract. The network goes on air Aug. 21 at 6 p.m. CT.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Brent Musburger and Jesse Palmer would be the lead broadcast team for the network's weekly top SEC football game in the fall.
Back in late December just before the BCS national championship, former Florida Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow agreed to a multi-year deal as an SEC Network analyst.
"It's starting to ramp up," Connolly said here Friday afternoon before the four quarterfinals of the SEC men's basketball tournament in the Georgia Dome. "We have two of the top 10 distributors on board and the conversation with others are in various states of progress. Now, we have a big focus on production and programming."
That programming, said Connolly, will include the first three rounds of the SEC men's basketball tourney. Currently, viewers have to channel surf day-to-day since the games have been on different networks.
"The tournament will be exclusively on our network," Connolly said. "We're also going to open our SEC basketball league telecasts next year with Florida playing Kentucky. In addition, every team will be on at least eight times."
Before Connolly fully addresses basketball, there's football. Not only will he have at least three broadcast teams doing SEC games on fall Saturdays - and sometimes there may be four games - but also there's the daily and weekly programming and specials to consider.
The network announced in December it would televise "SEC Nation," a traveling pre-game show from different SEC campuses every Saturday during football season from 9-11 a.m. CT. It is to be hosted by Joe Tessitore.
Connolly revealed that the network would have a news and information show that may be named "SEC Now."
"We're going to come out of the gate swinging in football," promised Connolly. "We're going to have four exclusive 'SEC Storied' films in August and September.
"One of those films follows a notable fan from every SEC school, and how passionate they are about their school and sports."
Connolly said the LSU fan the network chose is LSU grad James Carville, the former presidential campaign lead strategist for President Bill Clinton and a popular Democratic pundit. "We sat down with him and had a long conversation," Connolly said. "There's no one more passionate about LSU than James Carville."
The network turned heads when it hired the 26-year-old Tebow. His floundering three-year NFL career hit a stop sign after he was released by the Patriots prior to last season.
Tebow also has been a public lightning rod because of his outspoken Christian faith.
"Tim Tebow has over 21/2 million Twitter followers," Connolly said. "He has the ability to light up a room and energize a fan base.
"Sure he has ties to Florida. But the interest in who he is and what he has to say goes well beyond Florida, goes well beyond the 11 states in the SEC footprint. He's a good fit. He's one of the most highly decorated athletes in SEC history."
Critics are already nitpicking the hiring of Tebow. They question if his Christianity and pleasant demeanor will prevent him from being critical on-air when needed.
"We had him on the BCS national championship game, and he showed spurts of that in terms of breaking the game down," Connolly said. "He's a really smart guy, he prepares more diligently than anyone we have. He actually predicted Florida State would beat Auburn 35-31, and the score was 34-31. Is that beginner's luck?"
Connolly said the hiring of Tebow and other analysts he'll hire in the next few weeks and months will more than likely have SEC ties as former athletes or coaches.
"What the SEC fan base wants is people to talk about football in an analytical way," Connolly said. "They want real feedback, not that everything is roses."
Tebow is the latest former SEC player hired by the network. Former Florida quarterback Palmer was hired by ESPN in 2007 and former Georgia defensive end David Pollack was hired in 2009.
Both have had various roles in the network's college football coverage, including co-hosting a show called "Pollack and Palmer."
Musburger, 75, and Palmer, 35, will make their SEC Network debut on Aug. 28 when they call the Texas A&M at South Carolina season opener.
Musburger, who had been lead announcer of ABC's Saturday night college package as well as the BCS national championship game, told Richard Deitsch of SI.com Wednesday that he's enthused about his new job.
He'll call 15 regular season SEC games and a bowl game involving a league team not involved in the new College Football Playoff.
"It's the attractiveness of the SEC, the passion, the stadiums and the talent that is down there," Musburger told Deitsch of why he's looking forward to the move. "I'm delighted to be offered a three-year deal when I am 75 years old. I love going to games, I love the excitement and I want to continue. It is a heck of an opportunity for someone who does not want to play golf every day."

They're animals, so let them lose their souls.
It is my considered opinion that the Central Intelligence Agency targets the LGBT community with crystal meth in much the same way that it targeted poor black communities with crack cocaine. This latter was reported on by Gary Webb. While Mr. Webb did not accuse the US government of institutional racism and bigotry {some of the large papers that, when push comes to shove, tow the line for the Military Industrial Complex like the Washington Post accused him of it, however}, I am. I will explain why below.
First, of course, the crack cocaine epidemic. The CIA used profits from selling it domestically for black bag operations that were off the books. That is, these were operations and programs that they did not believe they had to report to Congress because the funding was not coming from taxes but rather the exploitation of poor neighborhoods, predominantly African American, in California. This worked, CIA was never punished for this, and it continued after Webb's reporting on the topic and tracing the money and drugs from Central America to the US.
The result domestically was also that politicians got to "take a stand" against drugs and demonize those who sold it and used it as "super predators." The stigma remains today as does the high incarceration rate resulting from a CIA operation.
And let us not forget the lengths CIA went to experimenting drugs on human beings under MK/Ultra and other programs using initially the former Nazi scientists brought in under PAPERCLIP, BLOODSTONE, etc. Nor how, for example, notorious gangster James 'Whitey' Bulger got 15 years knocked off a prison sentence for agreeing to be one such guinea pig.
In small farming communities in the US it is often made domestically. Chemicals used on some farms can cover for the purchase of materials necessary to make crystal meth.
However, in Maricopa County, Arizona, it is smuggled in from Mexico. More specifically, the state of Sinaloa, which is where El Chapo and his cartel were located. El Chapo who miraculously escaped several times, once reportedly via a long tunnel about which there is a conspiracy theory that the tunnel was not actually completed but rather Guzman's CIA handlers released him and used the tunnel as a media stunt to cover up the method of release. Why not? In any case, it comes from the Mexican Cartel located there.
I've met probably a few hundred people who currently use or were addicted in the past to crystal meth in the year and a quarter living here. Predominantly, probably 65% are gay men. There's probably another 10-15% that engage in some form of homosexual activity even though their preference may be for females. While it is not reportedly as addictive as crack cocaine, crystal meth is clearly highly addictive. The lengths many of these current addicts will go to to get that fix makes this clear.
Much like the mythical pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps mantra, officials in the US indicate that simply saying no to drugs is the way to get off them. In civilized countries, it is considered an illness to be addicted, and is treated via healthcare. Emphasis on civilized.
As I've noted time and again, the point is to keep us distracted, divided, and fighting among ourselves lest we band together and demand universal healthcare and income. The CIA, and whenever I say that now I also mean the counter-intelligence division of the FBI, they are essentially the same thing, Eisenhower's fear of a domestic secret "police" has been realized, serves the interests not of the People but of the multinational corporations and that means keeping social nets and benefits as low as possible. As the profits continue to break records, so does the multinationals' power and influence; it is the snowball, growing in size and increasing momentum, until it overwhelms anything and anyone in its way. To distract from this requires "bad guys" to point a finger at and who better than minorities and those suffering from one form of illness or another? People outside the mainstream make easy targets, as we've seen with the transgender bathroom nonsense recently.
As a further reminder of the connection between the CIA and the Mexican Cartels, I point the reader again to the story of Mike and Gary, and how it was that former CIA officer Gary came to be in the cartel's employ.

Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video 3D curve creation, part of SOLIDWORKS: Surfacing.
- In this video we're going to be creating some 3D composite curves. The first way to do this is to take this curve here which is a spline which I've created on the front plane, or actually Plane1 here, and I'm going to project that curve onto this surface. Now this is just a simple extruded surface and we're going to be getting into creating those very soon. The first thing I need to do here is go and do a projected curve. So I'm going to go up here to Features, Curves, and Project Curve. Now I have two options here.
The first one here is Sketch on a face, and the second one is Sketch on a sketch. For the first option I'm going to use the Sketch on face but I am going to come back and teach you the Sketch on sketch. And for this one here, I'm going to choose my sketch so I'm going to go ahead and just choose the spline. And for my surface I'm going to choose that face there. Notice there's a little arrow here pointing the wrong direction so let's go ahead and flip that to the other side. Now you can see it projects that curve directly onto that surface. Now this doesn't necessarily have to be a surface. It can be a face.
It can be revolve any shape, any surface, any curve, can work with this feature so I can project pretty much any curve I want under pretty much any surface or face. So go ahead and click on Ok. And there it is. Now it shows up as a feature in our tree and underneath that feature is that sketch. So I'm going to go ahead and turn that sketch back on. There it is and there's my first one. Now the next one I'm going to show you is that Sketch on sketch. So let's go ahead and hide the surface itself, but I'm going to show the sketch that was created.
So there's my original sketch that made that. And let's go ahead and hide this feature right now. And hide. Ok, now I'm going to take these two sketches and I'm going to intersect the two. So I'm going to go to Curves, Project Curve, and Sketch on sketch. This time I'm going to choose that sketch here, and that one there and again I get almost exactly the same thing I did before but the point is that you don't necessarily have to have a face or surface, you can just use the sketches and intersect the two with this Projected Curve.
Ok, there it is. And notice these are both features. Sometimes when you're needing to use a sketch a feature won't work, so there's a quick workaround I'm going to point out. If I go to this curve here, I can go up to Sketch, I can go up to 3D Sketch, and then I'm going to go Convert Entities and I'm going to choose that. As soon as I do that it converts that as I exit out. Now I have the exact same curve here, so Curve2 which is a feature, now I have it as a 3D sketch.
So sometimes you might need to choose only a sketch and it won't let you choose a feature, that's the workaround to get to a 3D sketch. Ok, the next thing I want to point out is doing an intersection curve. So I'm going to go ahead and hide a few of these. So hide that, hide that, and I'm going to show this one, and then I'm going to intercept this with this surface but first I need to extrude this sketch. So I'm going to go up to Surfaces, I'm going to do Extruded Surfaces, I'm going to choose this sketch right here, make sure we're going in the right direction, and I'm going to go directly through this projecting or intersecting those two surfaces.
Go ahead and click Ok. And we're going to be getting into the extruded surface here very soon, but for right now just assume that we know how to create these two intersecting surfaces under sketches and I'm going to Intersection Curve. Now I'm going to say I want to intersect and I can choose it from the window here or I can also go over here and choose the individual surface bodies. So that one there, and that one there. And click Ok. And again I get the exact same thing as we just did before but this time showing the intersection of two surfaces and again I get a 3D sketch.
So that I can exit out and there it is. So again multiple different ways to create the exact same thing, but these are all 3D composite curves. I'm taking two entities and intersecting them together or interfering them together and finding out what the composite 3D sketch is. This is very powerful. It's a great way to do some complex surface modeling all using 3D intersecting curves.
- Defining planes for surface creation
- Creating splines and 3D curves
- Making revolved surfaces
- Building boundary and lofted surfaces
- Offsetting a surface
- Trimming and untrimming surfaces
- Adding fillets
- Fixing corners
- Deleting, moving, and replacing faces

Catch the Shahs of Sunset Live Stream on Playstation Vue
Playstation Vue is a live stream subscription service that offers users 60 channels for $29.99.

Buying the season pass helps cut down the price a little, but if you watch a wide variety of TV, subscription services are a better deal.
- Amazon Instant Video: Amazon is compatible with most major devices. New episodes are a reasonable $2, but a season pass will lower that cost a little bit on each episode. New episodes arrive by the next day after they've aired on TV.

Lay Me Down
So, there I was last night bored out of my skull, nothing to do but twirl my thumbs or play a video game I've mastered several times before. Neither option appealed to me at all, I think I'd rather do a spin class than any of those choices. Before I left I had placed about 315 GB of movies on my external hard drive so I had plenty of movies to choose from to watch. The unfortunate thing about it is that I've seen these movies like a hundred times before. I've just about got all the scripts memorized but with nothing else to do I decided to scroll through the 300 + movies on my external. I passed every movie, in reading the title the movie played across my memory in flashes of story and plot and conclusion. Frustrated, I came to the end of my list with the W's, X's, and Y's. After replaying "You don't mess with the Zohan" in my mind like the hundreds of others on this list I had to cuss out loud. A huge resounding F word made me feel no better or worse. So, I closed my eyes, spun my mouse pointer around, stopped and opened my eyes. My pointer landed on "We Were Soldiers".
How convenient, nothing is more cliché than a deployed soldier watching movies of war on his off time. After fighting the urge to redo my game of spin the mouse pointer, I gave up in wholly resignation. Although the plot and every scene in this particular film played continuously through my mind like a virtual picture show, I forced myself to watch the movie. Every scene filled with emotion and every scene filled with the joy only known to soldiers once more snuck up on me. Throughout the movie I found myself once again laughing, crying, and blood pumping in excitement as the 1st of the 7th Cavalry Regiment prepared to take the hill of the Ia Drang Valley. Being in the Army stationed at Fort Hood, home of the 1st of the 7th has its benefits. For one we get many different visitors of varying prominence, from presidents, vice presidents, and governors. Honestly, I could give a rip when they visit, the best thing when they do come is I get to go home for the day.
The Movie
One time we had a distinguished visitor to Fort Hood, none other than LTG Harold Moore. LTG Moore (ret) was previous commander to 1st of the 7th Cavalry regiment, as well as the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, and the 1st Cavalry division. As I am a sergeant in the 3rd brigade 1st Cavalry division I was interested by his visit. He was there to do a book signing for "We Were Soldier Once and Young" written by Joseph Galloway. He was also there to revisit his old stomping grounds.
So, there I was watching this movie for the one hundred and seventieth time and still captivated just by the scope of the story of it. I'm not the kind of guy to get all emotional at movies but this one never fails to squeeze a tear from my eyes or place a lump in my throat. I think though, since I have an intimate knowledge of what those boys go through on a battlefield it gets me. One song of the soundtrack which is played at perfect times really works with the story to drive the story home.
I am of Scottish and Irish ancestry and the Celtic fabric of my DNA and soul helps me to understand this song. It is a bagpipe tune of Scottish heritage, which when they are played by someone who knows what they are doing sounds mournful in the first place. This tune was played expertly, mournful and humming. If you made an extended ohm sound it would create the perfect melody with which to sing this song, I can sing it with my half Scottish accent I make. The song is called "Sgt MacKenzie." The song was written by Joseph Kilna MacKenzie after his wife died. He wrote the song to honor his great grandfather Charles Stuart MacKenzie (Sgt MacKenzie) who died during WWI. Sgt MacKenzie was bayoneted to death while defending a badly injured fellow soldier. For more information please read what Wikipedia has to say about it.
I took the liberty of finding the lyrics, although I could understand ninety percent of the words sung on the movie I had to figure out what ains an ire meant and what nair mair meant. Here are the lyrics in English for you to read and understand what is actually being said as the men of the 1st of the 7th charged the hill against a tough and determined enemy in what surely would be victory or death. Also consider that this battalion had been pounded relentlessly by this enemy from all sides of their hold on the Ia Drang valley for two days. Two full days of straight hell in a continuous firefight where your only thoughts are "I'm not going to make it."
Lay Me Down
If it fits your fancy play the song as you read what is sung.
Lay me down in the cold, cold ground
where before many men have gone.
lay me down in the cold, cold ground
where before many men have gone.
When they come I will stand my ground
stand my ground, I'll not be afraid.
Thoughts of home take away my fear
sweat and blood, hide my veil a tear.
Once a year say a prayer for me
close your eyes and remember me.
Nevermore shall I see the sun
for I fell to a German's gun.
Lay me down in the cold, cold ground
where before many men have gone.
lay me down in the cold, cold ground
where before many men have gone.
Where before many more have gone.
This is a song written in tribute to Sgt. McKenzie.
Sometimes when something grabs a hold of our attention we can often find ourselves becoming obsessive about it and wanting to know more and more until finally our thirst for knowledge is quenched. However, sometimes that thirst is unquenchable and nothing will ever fill the void. For me, I get obsessive about things until there is nothing left to learn about. When it comes to soldier things in direct relation to Scottish things I am unquenchable. Perhaps as I ponder over numerous volumes of forgotten lore about the subject I'll fix my attention and thirst on something else. Usually this is my only salvation in a world gone mad with video games and other pursuits of leisure.
Quite personally I believe the book is better than the movie because the book goes into more detail and is longer than the first battle.
Hi! wesleycox I enjoyed reading you Hub. Angie
I also am obsessive with such things. I replay the hymms and read the lyrics all night to this song and Mansions of the Lord. My admiration for soldiers or anyone in the military is unbounded and though they may not know it, they are loved and are true heroes, unlike sports stars, actors and politians. Soldiers are ultimate heroes without question. I only wish I would have served in some capacity. I now yurn for it. Now I'm 55, much too late and it is something I will always regret. I feel ashamed that I did make the sacrifice. Saying "Thank you" isn't enough, but "THANK YOU"!
i am a soldier and this songs sends shivers down my spine. it's simple eloquence and request that we only be remembered means more than anything else. please listen to this song and think of those that serve.
ah well it is your choice, even though yous seem to have chosen quite a hard life, you must have your reasons
that is some commitment. Must be so hard to balance family and life as a soldier, wow if you wanted to could you get out of it....
do you like being a soldier, how long will you be one..... so nosey aren't i loved this hub
I go on and on but yes, my sons and I, do watch these movies as they are fascinated and we have high admiration for the courage and risk involved with your job, WC. They enjoy this movie too and mainly because it's around actual people and events. God Bless to you and all our soldiers. :) thank you so much.

Asbestos is found in the various parts of the house architecture such as flooring, roofing and siding. This is especially true for old homes that are built before the 1980s. Proper handling of asbestos is necessary because it is carcinogenic and too much exposure can cause asbestos cancer.
In the USA, it is legal for homeowners to remove asbestos that is located inside the house and not in the exterior. Homeowners must follow the safety precautions when removing the asbestos. You can visit the EPA site to find out the proper procedure for handling asbestos. The first thing to do is to clear away all items in the area so that they won't be contaminated. Anything that can't be moved should be covered with a polyethylene sheet. The walls and floor are to be covered with a polyethylene sheet.
To protect the health of your family members and pets, you should have them moved to other places. Before handling asbestos, make sure you wear personal protection equipment such as respirator or dusk mask to prevent breathing in small particles from the asbestos as well as gloves to protect your hands. The dust mask should have at least two straps.
You can also wear a disposable coverall to protect your nose and eyes. It is important not to eat in the work area as there may be tiny asbestos particles flying around in the air that ends up in your food. You must be cautious in removing the entire asbestos sheet without breaking it. This means that you should avoid using power tools like drill or sand or saw the asbestos.
It is illegal to attempt in spraying the asbestos sheet with a water hose gun as this can remove the coating on the asbestos. You can slightly wet the asbestos material if you want. Materials containing asbestos must be double bagged and put in the approved disposable bag before along with the warning label prior to disposal. It should be transported in a covered truck so that asbestos dust will not fly into the air.
If you are not sure whether the building material contains asbestos, you can hire a asbestos consultant to perform testing on the presence of asbestos. Testing for asbestos is crucial to protect your health and the health of those in the vicinity. If you are not trained to handle asbestos, it is advised that you hire a licensed asbestos removal professional.
The professional knows the safety procedure to remove and dispose the asbestos. If a lot of asbestos fibers will fly in the air, you should hire an asbestos removal contractor that is HSE licensed. You must make sure that the professional you hire is compliant with the asbestos removal regulation of your state.

Last week USA Today wrote about the growing popularity of flag football for girls in high schools, especially in Florida, where it is a state championship sport.
Flag football also has been introduced at the varsity level in Washington, D.C., and is growing as a club sport in parts of Texas.
More girls coming out to play sports — this is a good thing, no?
No, if you're an official mouthpiece for a leading women's organization. Neena Chaudry, senior counsel, National Women's Law Center:
"You can add sports as recreational or intramural — it's great to have activities to help girls be physically active. If you're going to add a varsity sport, it is relevant if that sport is going to provide the same opportunities as the boys have. So, to then add flag football as opposed to a sport, like volleyball or soccer, that does allow girls to get college scholarships is not equitable."
Nancy Hogshead-Makar, director of advocacy for the Women's Sports Foundation, echoes Chaudry:
"The thing that makes sports valuable is having a goal and postponing the short-term. If you want to have fun, you don't train for the Olympics. What purpose would anybody have to swim four hours a day if they didn't have a long-term goal?"
Hold on now. I've never seen anywhere in my reading of Title IX a stipulation about high school sports being added to accommodate athletic scholarships at the college level. Just because flag football doesn't translate doesn't mean it should be nixed from consideration in high schools for Title IX purposes.
On the other hand, women's sports activists have endorsed the addition of college sports for women — such as rugby and bowling — that have little to no interest or organization at the high school level, just to meet Title IX demands.
Both of these women are lawyers, and I've heard them and others like them say often that the law is meant simply to give females an opportunity to play. It says nothing at all about whether such activity is required to be a gateway to a college scholarship.
The reaction of these activists smacks of the fight over varsity cheerleading at Quinnipiac University. A federal judge ruled in 2010 that it wasn't a sport for Title IX purposes, satisfying the urgings of women's sports activists when the Connecticut school dropped its women's volleyball program.
The latest crusade from the NWLC is to go after school districts that aren't doing right by Title IX, and here are some school districts that are trying to address those disparities. We have two activities here, in cheerleading and flag football, that are generating some considerable interest from young females, and the activists are resisting this.
Is it because these sports are considered just a bit too traditionally feminine?

The Presidency on Sunday dismissed reports that the Federal Government was planning to name the University of Ibadan after late former Minister of Information and Communications, Professor Dora Akunyili.
Akunyili who was also a former Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC died in an Indian hospital on Saturday.
Abati, in a posts on his Twitter handle, described the news as fake.
The presidential spokesman said the President, Goodluck Jonathan stands by the official condolence statement he issued after confirmation of Akunyili's death.
"Nobody ever said Mr. President is considering naming University of Ibadan after Late Professor Dora Akunyili. Please ignore fake news," he said.
"On Dora Akunyili, there is an official statement conveying President Jonathan's heartfelt condolences. We stand by that statement."
In a statement released by Abati on Saturday, Jonathan had said he received with shock and sadness the news of the sudden and untimely death of the former minister.
He expressed the belief that Akunyili would live long in the memories of those who were privileged to know her as "a diligent professional, a public-spirited and forthright public officer, and as a person of great convictions."
The President said he considered the deceased's contributions to nation-building while she served as the Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control as well as as Minister of Information and Communications invaluable.

The Neighborhood Alliance is now proud to be working with Shelby County Juvenile Court in finding meaningful service opportunities for young men and women with court-ordered community service.
Contact us with any neighborhood clean-up, community garden or other neighborhood activities that your association or congregation is working on. Please list the dates and times and how many volunteers are needed and a contact person's info. Juvenile Court will then work with our staff to assign young people with court-ordered community service to opportunities that are close to their homes. The Neighborhood Alliance sees this as an opportunity for mentoring and reaching out to young people within our neighborhoods and more than a simple community service opportunity.
We are proud to report that we have already secured commitments from the SOUTH MEMPHIS FARMERS MARKET as well as the Binghampton-based URBAN FARM and URBAN MARKET. We want to extend our thanks to these wonderful new partners, and we hope they are but the first of many more.
If you have any upcoming events that would be a good opportunity for youth community service, please contact our Organizing Director at email@example.com or 901.725.4990.

can I get on the list to
Well I am going to visit my Mum in FL from April 7-14, that may work if you send them at the start of April. Just can't leave the hatching to my husband again, last time it didn't turn out so good
pops coops wrote:
can I get on the list to
Ah your cut off pops, LOL
I'll do my best to make it work mid april then, Paula! Maybe I can find them their own space outside for awhile . With this wonderfully crazy weather we are having, the girls have been able to get outside almost everyday, not confined for most of the winter as usual.
That would be great Susan, thanks.
Any more hatching emergencies or clashes Paula, I have a big bator now if needed :doI?: Just have to test it, it was working when we got it
Your an angel Claire, thank you. If mid April doesn't work for Susan and she has to ship them in early April, I may just take you up on the offer. I will not let Mark be in charge of it again, it was a disaster, well five hatched and survived. Turns out all three of the araucanas are rooster So I have NO hens, and the Coronations turned out to be one rooster and one split hen
Plus side they are beautiful....any one what a Araucana rooster??? LOL
No problem, That is a shame. You can at least breed that pair and get half pure half splits right? Are they friendly? :doI?:
Nathan can be left alone with Sportsman and is actually was more diligent than I at filling the water troughs. Once we had the moisture pails on the top it wasn't even an issue anymore. I imagine with a smaller unit there could be more fluctuation. Sometimes the shipping takes it's toll too.
Yes that's right I could breed the split hen and get 1/2 and 1/2, yes the Coronations are friendly and BIG. Plus I have an older pair from Stephane on PSO that I purchased in Aug. So I have a start. Am getting some Araucana eggs from Syble in the spring as well, so will give me some from a different line.
Hard trying to time getting eggs from other sources to coincide, but can't wait
Talk about tempting :doI?: I saw Sandy's Roo last year, I was impressed with the speckled sussex hen she brought to the poultry learning day. That hen behaviour reminded me of an EO. When they were doing the lecture on showing, the birds were all in cages, wherever the speaker was, that hen was at that side of the cage looking at him. When they took her out and were talking about her, and holding her she relaxed, shut her eyes and went to sleep.
Just checking that those who answered this post previously are still interested in the said amount of eggs at the said time. I'm writing down the sending dates so I don't forget someone. I'd like to be done by late May (maybe June) and let everyone run wild! Also, the option exists for Gorria eggs.
Hi Susan, Debbie and I have decided to go together on our egg shipment. I will e-mail you
XOX Monika
I realize this thread is old, but I am interested in picking up eggs next spring in Canada if anyone is close enough to provide them. I have family in Saranac, NY which is on the US/Quebec border. Is this possible for anyone? Any ideas?
Hi Susan, if we are not too late we will take a dozen, anytime that suits you.
DG, I would think Claire, Paula, Lisa , Gubi, MGF, may be able to supply eggs next year. Not sure who else.
PP, I will probably start separating breeding groups in December. Remind me then if you would like eggs. I didn't put out a waiting list this year, as I am already at capacity for egg orders, but I'm sure I can squeeze out a few more
Thanks very much, Susan. It's still a little early to make definitive plans but I'm thinking ahead. I have some people in my area interested in EOs and I'd really like to get a nice flock going.
Didn't mean to hijack the thread..
Whenever Young Heritage gets their "batch", we'd like one also! We can pick up from them if it's alright with everyone

First I would like to apologize to all my friends and followers out there for the delay in my posting. I cant believe that it has been more than a month since my last post here. I could give the excuse that I've been busy….and I have been, but excuses are worthless in my opinion. So, I'm sorry.
Now for an update:
I've been here in McAllen for about a month now and I think I have had something like four days off excluding the last three days in which I had to go to Indiana for court (remember that?). So, I've been working my little (or not so little) hiney off! I have met some great people at the new hospital. Estel, Ray, Paul, Copelyn, Myrna, and many others. The staff here has made me feel right at home. The nights are long and I am trying not only to adjust to the night-shift but also to the difference in acuity of my patients. It has so far, been a very good experience and is "pushing the envelope" and providing many opportunities for me to increase my clinical skills. Like most hospitals in the great USA, we are short staffed most of the time but so far the patient loads have been manageable.
On the social end of things….it's been very quiet and lonley. I am already missing my friends in Boston and back home. I have tried to keep phone/email contact and I do know that I have not done as well with this as I should… The city of McAllen affords a wonderful array of traditional Mexican food which is wonderful!! The other night I shared a "Botana" (i think that's how you spell it) with my co-workers….yummy yummy!!! I have yet to venture out on my own much due to the hours that I have been working and the fact that I am a bit intimidated by the fact that I am a minority here. I am hoping that I will soon overcome this and get the hell out of the apartment! A fellow traveler and I are planning to go into Mexico one day next week to explore and do a little shopping, looking forward to this.
I just returned from Indiana today. Had to deal with the court/ex-husband on some child support/visitation issues…. this turned in my favor! I dont yet know if the court will order me to pay child support or not, the judge is reviewing it and will decide within two weeks. I will keep you posted. For those of you that are aware of the trials I have had in attempting to obtain my rightful visitation, hopefully this issue is now solved. The judge actually told my ex "I have half a mind to charge you with contempt right now". I have been given authority to have visitation for Spring Break and am looking forward to Trinity coming here to sunny McAllen for the week. The travel arrangements have already been made and she is eagerly anticipating the trip. She will be flying alone for the first time and a little nervous about the flight but excited. There were a couple of pivital (sp?) moments in the courtroom that I am going to try to share…frankly, I feel like the Judge finally realized the true nature that is my ex.
– a comment from the judge in response to Ricks plea of having a difficult time financially was "get a job" Interesting and enlightening concept!!
– the "priceless" look on the judge's face when the ex was denying receipt of THREE different certified letters from me
– the comment from the judge to me that "you are going above and beyond" when he realized that I provide a phone for contact with my daughter and talk to her almost every day
– the fact that Rick is now Ordered by the court to obtain a phone so that I may have a way to contact him in regards to visitation…when he could have used Trinity's cell!!
-I will now get 6 weeks of visitation with Trinity for the summer school break along with standard visitation for a "distant" parent (if this is denied, it will probably mean contempt charges for my ex with the penalty that comes with contempt up to jail)
So, overall I feel good about the outcome of court. I will await to hear about the support issue, but in the meantime I will enjoy the ability to have quality time with my daughter!!
I am off to work tonite so I am going to get going for now and I will try to update more frequently as time allows. I am hoping to work lots of overtime and stash some "fun money" away while I am here. Trinity will be here March 20th for a week so you may not get an update until after she goes back home.
good day to all….

I Haven't Felt Like Blogging Lately But...
2. I got gifts for Christmas this year. I was mildly shocked since I haven't gotten a gift in about 3 years.
3. I'm so damn horny that i'm starting to get the shakes. It's been a month and a half and I have 2 and a half to go before my birthday (that's when I will allow myself to have sex again).
4. I have $1XX dollars in my checking account. It seems as though everytime I get back on board something *brakes for the car, old power bills* comes along that knocks me back overboard. I realized that I am living paycheck to paycheck because of how I pay my bills. I overpay on debt and it leaves me with little else until the next payday. I think i'm start giving the cards the minimum until I can save a little chunk of change.
5. I need to divorce all of my exes for good. I'll explain that later in another post.
6. I'm sick of going to clubs. I have honestly gotten bored with it and decided to take a break from that also. I may go every now and then, but clubbing will not be my #1 social activity.
7. I can't decide what to do for my 30th birthday. Should I go on a trip or should I buy a 42 inch flat panel television?
8. I have had it up to here with my apartment complex. Can you believe that I woke up this morning to a soaked bedroom carpet? It seems that the roots of the tree in front of my apartment are causing problems and when it rains, water can run into my apartment. I'll be making a list of all of the issues that I have had since I moved in and talking to the complex manager on Monday. I'll be damned if I am not compensated for all of this shit somehow. I can't wait to move. I hate this place.
9. I finally have waves in my hair. It took a while, but i'm all waved up now. I finally feel like all that brushing, washing, tying up, and moisturinzing was worth it. Now can I keep it up is the question.
10. Is it possible for regular people like me to win the lottery? It seems like only senior citizens or trailer park dwellers or the already wealthy win the fucking lottery. I need to stop giving my money away on the lottery and start back going to the casino.

Two studies further prove the prevalence of hidden uterine sarcoma
Posted on Wednesday, February 25th, 2015 at 9:58 am
Two recent studies published in the Obstetrics & Gynecology and JAMA Oncology further established the possibility that many women who underwent gynecological procedures with power morcellation were put at risk for the spread of undetected cancer tissues, The Wall Street Journal reported on February 19.
In a study published inObstetrics & Gynecology, researchers from the University of Michigan said the possibility of having undetected sarcoma among women who had hysterectomies was one in 368. On the other hand, a study published in the JAMA Oncology stated that although the possibility of hidden cancers are low among those who have their uterine fibroids removed with or without a power morcellator, the risk of cancers hidden in benign growths increases with age.
These two studies further prove that the possibility of spreading hidden sarcoma during a laparoscopic procedure involving a power morcellator is high.
