A Beautiful Nose
The two girls chatting in the back of my cab were going to St. Michael's College. Though UVM has more than double the enrollment, we local cabbies probably drive more St. Mike's students, and this has been true for a while. The reason is the free UVM bus, instituted about two years ago, which makes a circuit between downtown and the UVM dorms throughout the evening hours. This dastardly, big fat student scooper has eliminated 90 percent of our UVM fares. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
"So what dorm are we living in this year?" I spoke over my right shoulder as the cab climbed the Main Street hill.
The girl on the right side said, "We're freshmen. We're living in Lyons." She was fresh-faced with straight red hair. I took notice of her blue down jacket, a sure sign of autumn in Vermont.
"Lyons it is," I said. "And that's no longer women only, do I got that right?"
"Yup, that's right," the other girl replied and began to chuckle. Like her friend, she was bright-eyed and bubbly. It's great to be 18. "I guess it went co-ed a couple years ago. We girls in Lyons now have to live with all kinds of nasty boys."
"Well, I guess you might as well get used to it," I commiserated, chuckling along.
"Isn't it awesome, Rosa?" the redhead said, turning to face her friend. "It doesn't even hurt that much." She reached up to gently rub what must have been a newly installed nose ring, a small, glistening stud.
"Yeah, it does look great, Caitlin," Rosa said. "Wait till you tell your sisters."
"Where'd you have it done?" I asked. "At Yankee Tattoo?"
"Nope, I went to Body Art, the place up on Main Street. I'm, like, so psyched. My two older sisters both have nose rings, so it's, like, a family thing."
"Nose rings can look really beautiful," I said. "Now, maybe this is a generational thing, but piercings that go beyond the ears and nose I can't really get into. They're, like — "
"Skanky?" Rosa interjected. "I've never seen a lip ring that I, like, really thought looked good."
"I didn't want to use that word," I said with a laugh. "But, you know, it's a similar thing with tattoos. They can look great, but you gotta think about how you're going to feel about it when you're, like, 60. Maybe it makes sense to stick to positive images, something that's inspirational and meaningful."
"Yeah, I know just what you mean," Caitlin said. "There's this girl on my floor who suffers from anorexia and went through a rehab program. When she got out, she got a tattoo of a geisha on her back. For her, this represents her inner beauty. So, like you said, this will be something that could always have meaning for her, even when she gets, like, old."
As we exited the highway onto Route 15, I thought about these two friends, Rosa and Caitlin. I got the sense that they had just met as freshmen, newly emancipated and on their own. What an amazing time of life: You're not a child any longer, but not quite an adult. It's a period of transition fraught with challenges and thrilling opportunity. Forged at an age when a young person is discovering who they are apart from the influence of family and community, these college relationships often develop into some of the deepest lifelong bonds. These two could very well be sitting in a living room when they're both 60 — if houses still come with those in the year 2050 — reminiscing and admiring each other's fading tattoos.
Pulling around to the Lyons dorm, I heard some cheering on the radio and raised the volume. A Red Sox player had just blasted a home run against the Indians.
"All right!" Rosa shouted out. "Maybe they could still pull this series out. Beckett pitched so great last night. His curveball was unhittable."
"Man, you guys are genuine Sox fans," I said. "I mean, that's some real baseball knowledge I'm hearing."
"Hey, dude — excuse me," Caitlin deadpanned. "We are St. Mike's students. What do you expect?"
"My apologies," I replied with a laugh. "We're talking about some Boston homegirls, no doubt."
"You got that right," Caitlin said, laughing along.
They split the fare, and Rosa passed me the money. "You want to see the nose ring?" Caitlin asked before she stepped out. I found this a touching gesture, given that I was a random cabbie she had only just met.
"Sure," I replied, and pivoted in my seat.
Caitlin leaned forward in hers and turned her head to show me the profile, highlighting the left side of her nose. It was a cute nose, made cuter by the sparkly little insert. Noses are underrated, I observed for the first time in my life.
"Quite cool," I weighed in. "Your sisters will definitely approve."
"They better," she said, laughing as she hopped out of the cab.

What a let down
By a customer from UK , 15 Oct 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
The first 30 Days of Night was a great vampire film. It was original. It was scary. The location was great. It kept you on the edge of your seat through out. I would say it was one of the best vampire films I've seen for ages.
I was so looking forward to the release of the second film. I couldn't have been more disappointed. The sequal had none of the good points of the first film. It was not original. It was like some cheap spin off from one of the Blade films. The location was un-original. The cast were poor. Worst of all the vampires were a real let down. They didnt seem to have the effect of the ones in the original film. They tried to copy the look but just didnt seem to pull it off.
They could have done great things with this sequal. But I feel they have really ruined it. From a great original film to a cheap budget sequal. All in all not one I would recommend. Dont rent this film hoping it is going to be great like the first.- Was this review helpful to you?

(69)not much point really
By showmethemoney (519 reviews) from South Wales , 07 Oct 2012They should have just left it after the first as it wasn't much of a follow up. We didn't really expect much as sequels of this nature are not known to be that successful. Sadly that was the case. It was a little like when there was a sequel to from dusk till dawn. It didn't really work.- Was this review helpful to you?

Utterly awful - AVOID!!
By JoshGrey (47 reviews) , 24 Sep 2012This is a truly abominable film. It has no redeeming features at all. Worse yet it destroys the legacy of one of the better horror movie of the recent past in '30 Days of Night'
I apologise in advance for the vitriol of my language whilst I don't swear - I was thoroughly upset by the lousy quality of this movie and at times (a lot of times) I barely contain that frustration.
It's difficult to know where to start with just how truly awful this film is....The original took a novel approach to the vampire mythos and delivered a chilling and grimly brutal horror film with tension and threat writ large.
Everything that the original did this abhorrent sequel dumps in favour of the worst, cliche ridden, sewage coated, corpulent explosion of crap one could ever have the god awful misfortune to encounter. Within the first few scenes, all of the subtle, nuance and otherness of the original has been disposed of, in favour of dialogue and acting that would fail to get screen time on the Movie 24 0200 - 0400 slot.
And it goes down hill from there pulled by the dead weight of talentless, leaden, gormless drek that is wrongly described as a screen play.
When the gang of plucky heroes decide that they can stop the whole crazy vampire thing by breaking in to the vampire stronghold to kill the queen vampire (yes there's a Queen Vampire! You know she's a Queen because she wanders around in a 'queeny' way and she does really awful but pointless things in a slow, breathy voice...
The new found insight into vamp politics and the hierarchy might have you sensing something is wrong.
When you realise that their 'plan' starts and stops at handing out 3rd World weapons - that they agree won't do a a great deal against the vamps! - and they walk into said stronghold at night without knowing anything other than it's full of vamps!!! You should hear alarm bells and can it a night. Unfortunately my frontal lobe had exploded by that point and I had lost the will to live....
I'd love to say that this was 'car crash' movie watching but yeap you've guessed it - a car crash would have been easier on the mind and body!
Please never let the cretins that wrote this pestilent dirge of a movie anywhere near any kind of writing implement ever again. As for the sadists that funded and shot this foetid 'boil on the butt' of a movie please, please, please, PLEASE don't do anything like this ever again! There's no way that you can honestly think you'd offering a valuable service unless your goal is to raise the worldwide excrement levels!
Why did I give it half a star? Well the disk fitted back in the envelop and that meant I got to send this nonsense away. Lord help me if I'd have had to keep it somewhere in the house!- Was this review helpful to you?

30 Mins Was Enough
By manonfireuk (407 reviews) from Liverpool , 24 May 2012This is based upon the graphic novel that leads on from the original 30 Days of Night story. Although this follow on story works very well in graphic novel form, it's not so great as a follow on movie. The first movie was very tense as a whole town was plunged into darkness for the whole movie whereas this follow on loses that as it follows the standard plot of your average vampire hunters action movie. At best this would have been an ok tv show or mini series but it's too preidctable as a movie sequel. If you want to follow the story then stick with the graphic novels instead- Was this review helpful to you?

D2L: FnaticRC 1-2 Empire
Posted 2012-11-01 Krockadyle
D2L: FnaticRC 1-2 Empire
00:25 - What started out as good beginning for FnaticRC turned into slow and steady increase of Empire's lead. Empire's Pudge managed to place key hooks on Fnatic's CK to keep him away in important team fights, and with perfect team play, Empire proved to be just a bit too strong. Still, great play by FnaticRC.
22:45 - A great comeback by FnaticRC upon winning the second game. Again, the 'Chaos Knight+Lina' combo working wonders for the team. This time, the scores hugely in favour of our team with 42-12. Both the games, so far, have been stomps but in opposite directions, the first one in favour of Empire and the second one in favour of FnaticRC.
21:45 - Team Empire has just won the first game against FnaticRC. At about 17 minutes into the game, "gg" calls cames out of both the teams. A strong 'Magnus' was played by Scandal from Empire.
20:30 - In 30minutes, FnaticRC will go head to head vs Team Empire in D2L.

Aging athletes show you can't outrun time
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.
37 comments posted
The scene is all too familiar. The aging athlete whose skills are clearly eroding but who can't give up the spotlight and the applause. The sports legend struggles to stay in the game despite being outshone by younger athletes. At the obligatory press conference about his retirement, the fading star finally acknowledges that he can't outrun his birth certificate.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
Everyone has limits, but most are slow to admit it. I include myself in that group. Having completed 11 marathons over 50 years of competitive running, I'm fairly knowledgeable about the science of distance running. At least I thought so. But I ignored one crucial piece of information.
It's well established in the running world that mileage should never increase by more than 10 percent a week. In other words, if you've been averaging 30 miles a week, your maximum mileage the next week should be about 33 miles. For some reason, however, I thought I was immune to this concept.
Because of a ferocious winter, my mileage was down to about 25 miles a week. Even so I decided to run a 13-mile race — a 25 percent increase in mileage. After the race, I had aches and pains in parts of my anatomy that I didn't even know existed. I thought I'd need a forklift to get me out of bed. Finally, after days of misery, I began to feel halfway human again. I could even walk down the steps without holding onto the handrail.
I learned an important lesson: You can't ignore the numbers. At least not without suffering the consequences. Can anyone else relate to my somewhat humbling experience?

I'm not seeing anything indicating that age was a factor in the post-race recovery problems. Lack of proper training was. Youth will not prevent soreness when you race without preparing.

If you keep moving - when you get old enough you have fewer competing and may start to win again even at a walk... get first place because others drop away like flies around age 70. Even with problems, such as my need for oxygen, keep moving any which way you can and you are a winner- I was by default at a Denver Half marathon... 1st out of 1 :>)

Mr lydiard suggested running 30 min 3x's a week to stay fit. More is someone looking to 'be someone' - but, the good Dr. should tell Gordie Howe his advise. And Arthur was running every day into his 80's -when ironically he died at 86 of a heart attack. I am 68 now and do not workout muchj but can walk out and run for 1 hr - any time, I know because every so often I do. pick an exercise that fits your body. Not everyone is a runner - really most are not. Do push-up's, pull-up's, hang on a bar to streach your back. No need to spend money just look around -a gallon of water jug makes a great dumbell weight (7.2 lbs.). -best kevin - p.s., have run 35 marathons - a few under 3 hrs. - a few mile races in the 4:30's when I was 50.

I'm 65. I run the most, two 4 miles and one 12 miles. I run 2.6 miles in a 4 foot pool. And lift weights the other 2 or 3 days, during the week. I walk 15 miles a week. With this cross training, I ran two 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks. My muscles were fine. Took 9 minutes off the second run. So I got faster, 2:14. Cross training is the key.

This is the end of that story, sorry i didn't realise there a maximum amount of words. I kept going and going; having never run this race before I had no idea of distance but you run along the side of a loch, in lovey countryside it should be said but with a boiling sun. Eventually I notice a barrier at the end of the road and everyone is turning, yip it was thirteen mile mark and still no sign of a car for a lift. They appeared at the eighteen mile mark and foolishly with bravado I said I want to do another couple miles, I was joking but they still drove away. They appeared again at place I think called Lochybridge with around five or six miles to go, I just decided at that point to try and complete the run or die trying. It was brutal and in all my escapades I cannot remember anything so painful but it was worth it at 3 hours 47minutes; oh I have been much faster in the past but never with such a feeling of accomplishment. The odd thing was I never felt particularly sore the days that followed and on returning home that we all went for a meal a then continued drinking. I couldn't do that now but I know people that have trained seriously for a marathon doing all the right mileage before and the diet as well who haven't broken four hours. I think it's a lot to do with your mind and because I had set out half-drunk with no intentions of doing a marathon it was relatively easy well until the last 6 miles. Maybe if I set with no intentions of living to a hundred I might just

I have just turned 59 and I still train most days but 9 years ago I had my most impressive marathon time. I probably not a convention runner since I'm 6'4" 16 stone, I'm martial artist so my training has many disciplines but still up until around five years ago I averaged 40+ miles a week. Anways that's the background but when I was fifty I had a rather bad winter with the flu and colds so I had little or no training done; around March I started training again averaging a meagre 4 miles 3 times a week and couple of weight sessions at the gym. Even after four weeks I was still plodding along at the same distance. At around the middle of march on a Saturday night I was at 50th birthday party which went on until five in the morning with copious amounts of alcohol consumed; one of my friends suggested that since members of our club were participating in the Lochaber Marathon at Fort William this Sunday morning that we get a lift up to the event and run for six miles to get rid of our hangovers. It's not like a large city event you can just enter and pay on the day but even so it's a well-attended event. Sometimes April in Scotland can be like winter but on this occasion it was like the middle of summer and we were starting of our run without sleep, hangover, dehydrated and more importantly with very little training mileage under my belt. Well a car was supposed to pick us up at around the six mile mark, it didn't appear so my compatriots sat down at the side of the road to wait

I did the same thing this past fall - Running the American Birkebiener Half Marathon (trail run). Post race, my legs were in bad shape for about a month. I am 71 now and don't want to deal with the limitations of the aging athlete. Maybe I am finally able to come to grips with cutting back on my run/race distances.

I am 52 and feel that our bodies will let us know exactly when we should pull back on the exercise regimen. Every individual body should be assessed according to several factors. Starting with prior injuries, heart health and mental stamina. Eat right and stay strong by being physical. Don't get up when exercising can be your best friend!

Hot power vinyasa yoga, people! I have worked out A LOT all my life but power yoga is the toughest workout I've ever done. But it gets your core muscles so toned, they support your body in a way you can't imagine, which helps you be safe as you age and continue to do major exercise. Plus, every other workout you do will feel easy by comparison! At 52, I am in the best shape of my life.

Use it or lose it has been my personal mantra my 73 years of life. I am semi-retired, living in Mexico and my entire morning is dedicated to personal fitness...every day! I play 2 hours of competitive tennis, singles or doubles and then it is off to the gym where I jump on the eliptical trainer for 40 minutes, followed by an hour of weight training. The amount of weight I lift is nearly the same as when I began lifting in my late teens. I do spend more time these days stretching after my daily 4 hour routine as the years of sports has had its effects on my spine and joints. I'm 6'1" tall and weigh-in at 190lbs. I am proud of my fitness level and cannot see a day when I can't do what I did yesterday. Yes, "use it or lose it" should be the mind-set of every person, young or old. It is not just a way of life; it could be mean your life.

I am 74 years old, have been running long distances over 42 years.Have a completely torn Anterior cruciate ligament, on my right knee joint, sustained 42 years ago. Decided, not to settle for reconstructive ACR joint but worked out a targeted overall knee & lower legs strengthening exercises. As a recent MRI showed, i still carry the completely torn ACR but am happy to share that the knee has withstood extremely well the rigours of regular & competive road races, also in running up 12 floors of stairs for years, without a hitch. Recently, i was able to increase my strie length to 1.57 metres oer stride from 1.15 metres.per stride in the previous 25 years of running Am a recent Gold Medal winner, in a recent World 10k event held in my city, in my age group. Also share that my resting heart rate which was around 70/72 beats/minite a few decades ago, is now i the lower thirties, 33/34/35 beats per/minute, as checked out on a 24 hours worn cardiac holter fitted out by my Cardiologist, with my Treadmill test done on the same day as the Holter, recorded 100% max targeted rate being achieved with a MET score of 15.90, previous METs in the range of 12/13. I share also that i carry out extensive muscle & core muscle strengthening exercises both in the upper & lower body sections. My weight of 72 kgs over height frame of %' 10" years ago now stands at daily constant figure of 59 kgs.

at 80 nearly 81 years old, I certainly relate to your being realistic ! and can only add that doing the best you can with what you've currently got is the answer. I manage the gym twice weekly, on elecetroni measured heart rate equipment and try to maintain 115 heart rate on walk run, same for rowing and cycling then do some moderate weights for a total of an hour. Seems to work ! i.e. everything in balance.... but DO keep moving !

While you can't turn back the clock, you can certainly wind up the spring, and this means a cross section of fitness regime. At age 79 I have over 40 years of distance running on hard surfaces behind me, so the obvious happened with both knee joints failing because I neglected to mix the hard surfaces with soft beach or trail running, a very common error amongst runners. Both knee joints replaced with the usual TKA's and a switch to road cycling which does not place undue strain on the knees. But that's not enough as you need weights to maintain body mass and slow down loss of muscle/lean tissue. My current program is weights 3 x wk; cycling 2 x wk; boot camp 2 x wk: indoor rowing 1 x wk; abdominal exercises (cycling crunches & oblique twists, planks) daily on the lounge carpet Diet is mainly vegetarian because eating dead animals really is a poor way to get your sustenance. If you are past 60yrs and always tired, get your testosterone levels checked as this can be supplemented (on prescription only) if indicated. Sleep? 8 to 9 hours for total rejuvenation. Get up early, go training and to bed early, remembering that people who stay up late at night playing with electronic gadgets and then sleep in, will never amount to anything worthwhile.

I'm looking for running advice. I'm 66 years old and have been running for approx. 20 years. Decent shape and skinny; running has been with no injury and no problems. For the last 18 years I've settled into a routine of running 4 eight minute miles, then doing other things (weights, calestentics, etc) on a MWF schedule. But for about a year I've been overly fatigued after workouts so I thought I should slow down. My doctorgave me the standard formula for max heart rate, but it doesn't seem to work for me because my resting heart rate is a range of 47 to 55 bpm, and the max heart rate is 100 to 120. My usual running heart rate is around 145 bpm, so the recommended rate does not allow me to run at all. I can get to that rate just by walking fast, so it seems to indicate that I should give up running. Are there any better recommended measurements out there? I don't want to give up running.

As a youngster during the 1950's and '60's, I was "blessed" with what my doctor called a long-distance heart. My resting pulse was 48 and it rarely topped out over 110 during the most vigorous exercise. I did not run as an end in itself but I played basketball, football and baseball literally all day long. Now in my mid-60's my heart rate still remains unusually low but my joints cannot last through lengthy exercise due to the abuse as a child - the fun was worth it at the time. This makes any sort of weight routine insufficient for the broad range of physical activities I still enjoy, which means inevitable soreness. My stamina still allows me to work longer than I should but my joint deterioration makes it difficult to maintain muscle tone that might match my ability to work. I try to maintain a general level of large muscle strength, but I can tell you from experience, no two activities use the same set of muscles. Having been an amateur athlete into my 40's, I simply have learned to enjoy this periodic soreness and pain. It is the flip-side of the endorphin release.

Started running at 68. Ran my first marathon at 72. Recently ran 3 of them in 85 days at age 76. I have fewer running injuries now than when i started running. I've learned to respect the 26.2 miles. The benefits of intense exercise outweigh the risks, IMO-- especially enjoying my running buddies! Plan to run my last marathon in my nineties.

Old dudes rule!!!!!!! As i read Mathews B/B dilemma of the ever shrinking upper body a chill went up my spine, at 54 I'm few years older than him have been weight training since i was 15 and love the feel and the look of being a lean mean flexing machine but the ravages of time i know will finally catch up with me. To date i have maintained my muscle integrity although i concede i probably have lost some of the bulk i had a t 40 yet my weight is stable and the muscle to fat ratio is still as good if not the same as when i was at my peak. I still push heavy weight even compared to others in the gym and much younger trainers. It's not my intention to delude myself I'm still young but i believe that if i keep my body under the stresses it's been used to for most of my life it will accommodate me by responding accordingly. A recent sore knee had me thinking maybe the machine is breaking down. Although i train hard i also train smart there's no point getting older without getting smarter. Christopher

Doctor Creagan, I can certainly relate! In my teens, 20's and most of my 30's I ran an average of 25 miles per week. I had no clue what was going on INSIDE of me until, at age 37, my lower back turned me into a 97 year-old! All of the compression caused by running was playing havoc on my lower spine, and to make matters worse, I was unknowingly compensating via altering the way I ran, which led to hip and knee issues as well. I miss it dearly, however I do not miss that excruciating pain I was in [the kind when you don't care if you die or not!]. I've learned to let go of some things and substitute with another thing. I walk now...don't lift the heavy weights any more but do resistance training, and I eat my weight in veggies and fruit. No, you cannot out-run nature - but you can make the best of the later years by choosing the corrrect activities that continue to maintain health; while minimizing the stress on your joints.

I can relate very well to your story. I was running 4 miles when a friend talked me into running 10 miles. "4 miles isn't 10 miles" my wife said. I ignored her, completed the ten miles and missed work the next day. I felt as though I had been savaged by wolverines.

Approaching 70 , average health , a little over weight . I'm walking 2 to 3 miles , 4 or more times per week . "FOR ME" this is about right . Heart rate gets up to 120-125 , stays there 30 or so mins and my joints don't fuss (too much) . I add modest free weights of 40 lbs everyday for 15 to 20 minutes for muscle tone . "I THINK" life is better for it . No , it's not always fun , but it's worthwhile .
- Quinn
February 7, 2012 7:23 a.m.
Age is a definite factor . Finding an exercise routine that is both comfortable (not pain generating) and effective is the issue for me . Exercise that makes you hurt is not going to be sustained ... is doomed to fail . "Comfortable" does not mean "effortless" , it means literally without out causing pain .

Bill Longmore pledges council tax freeze
12:42pm Friday 1st February 2013 in News By Tom Edwards
POLICE and crime commissioner Bill Longmore has pledged to freeze council tax bills this year - admitting a public outcry had helped make his mind up.
West Mercia Police's elected boss will peg the force's portion of the council tax rise to zero, offering some welcome cheer to hard-pressed households.
Last month he raised the prospect of a two per cent rise from April, but since then more than 1,000 letters and emails have flooded into his office, with 70 per cent against it.
The force could have raked in £1.6 million from the increase, but decided against it following the correspondence.
Mr Longmore said: "We are trying to manage the finances so we're not in a position where we have to put the council tax precept up.
"Many people said they didn't want to see a rise so our conclusion was, let's leave that money with people and not take it.
"We need to all go forward together, that includes the wider community and councils."
The police only takes in 12 per cent of the council tax bill, with the rest going to the fire service, Worcestershire County Council and other district councils.
As your Worcester News reported last month 140 front line police officer jobs are being axed as part of a plan to save £20 million.
Bosses say they are hoping the jobs cull will be complete by April, and if so they could be in a position to start recruiting if any further staff leave beyond that point.
West Mercia Police has launched an alliance with Warwickshire Police aimed at saving a combined £31 million by 2016, which includes 450 civilian job losses.
The council tax freeze is subject to feedback from the watchdog-style police and crime panel, which is meeting on Tuesday at County Hall from 2pm.
Mr Longmore has also revealed that announcements on proposed police station closures won't be made until the end of February.

Imagine a person starting up their own business. That one person, who has the vision of a successful company, has the responsibilities of making his product, attracting customers, advertising the business, keeping his finances in balance, paying bills and many other things I don't care to list or even think about. Running a business is a tough job.
So is being the manager of a large club like Arsenal. So is being part of the board. So is being a scout. It's tough to be in charge of something at a football club.
But I can't imagine how difficult your job would be if you were in charge of all of those things. If we did want to know a question like that, it's starting to look like we would look no further than Arsene Wenger for an answer. There was a story on ESPN's website this week about how much power the frenchman really holds at the club. And to be frank, it's staggering.
What was once foggy is now becoming more clear. Wenger is the top dog. He's the blue whale swimming around the community pool in northeast London. It now looks like Wenger scouts his own players, is directly involved in the negotiations and decides how much they will make. He also wants to ensure the club stays in the black in regards to finances.
There have been rumors that Arsenal's board is supportive of bringing in new blood during this transfer window, but Wenger of all people won't allow that to happen. Is this why he has sold his best players the past couple years and bought dangerously average guys like Gervinho? Who is there to say no to Wenger? Who is there to keep him in check? It appears that the only person Wenger has to really impress is himself. So if we think about this, the direction Arsenal is headed in is essentially decided by one man.
I don't know about you, but that's way too much for one person to handle, especially someone in their sixties. That's also way too much power for one person. After learning about his enormous responsibilities, my frustrations aren't directed so much at Stan Kroenke, or even Ivan Gazidis. It's directed at Wenger. This club is no longer a democracy. It's a dictatorship, and Wenger is the dictator.
And another thought: if Wenger makes all these important decisions, where does that leave Gazidis? What does he actually do? Why is he being paid around £2 million if Wenger has more power than he does?
The simple solution would be to slam the foot down and say no to Wenger. To take some of his power away. To deflate the ego just a tiny bit. But how much does the club want to do that? Will Wenger let that happen? Why doesn't Wenger just focus on typical managing and match day duties? He needs to ask for help. He needs to let other people have a say. If not, there will be another seven years of no silverware. Just a tired old man with too much power.

A reminder has been issued to Britons to take care of their skin in the sun as research has highlighted the number of people who have been sunburnt. The study, conducted by Cancer Research UK, found that 46 per cent of Brits were sunburnt at some point this year. Furthermore, of those whose skin was damaged, 32 per cent admitted that their motivation was to get a tan. Nina Goad, spokesperson for the British Association of Dermatologists, advised: "Don't ever allow your skin to burn, whatever your skin type, as sunburn is the skin's reaction to be being damaged by UV [Ultraviolet] rays." Ms Goad also noted that while there is a limited risk of burning during the autumn and winter months, "it is still very important that people continue to check their skin during this time, as skin cancer can develop at any time of year".

Governor Rick Perry's gaffes and the heart and soul of immigration in the US

Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry (AP Photo/Joe Burbank, Pool) |
Furthermore, Perry, running for the GOP nod for the presidency in 2012, suggested that since immigrants tend not to hail from the elite classes, making sure they have access to college might actually pay off for America in the long run.
You know what this means. It may be time to serve up the Perry toast. He may well be done.
Ever since Perry made these comments at a GOP debate late last week, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann and other Republicans desperate to make their anti-immigration sentiments clear have been bashing Perry as "soft on immigration" (Rick Santorum's actual words).
Can Perry survive his admission that, sometimes, you have to "have a heart" when it comes to certain vulnerable citizens? It is amazing, in a race filled with so-called Christians, that this comment would actually cause a stir.
It is also interesting that this immigration scuffle came the same week that venerable, Pulitzer-Prize winning historian Oscar Handlin passed away, at the age of 95.
Joe Biden: Booing of Iraq gay soldier was 'reprehensible'
Chris Christie will only help elect Rick Perry as GOP prez candidate if he runs
GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain is an inspiration for our country Wins Fla. Straw Poll
Handlin's most famous work was written way back in the early 1950s. Entitled The Uprooted: The Epic Story of the Great Migrations that made the American People, Handlin changed the way we think about immigrants and immigration. He did so at a time of hyper-American patriotism, and, hence, disinterest in all things "ethnic."
Handlin himself was a wise college investment. He was one of four sons of an immigrant grocer from Russia. And yet he went on to become a Harvard professor, and turned to the Irish for his first book about Boston's immigrants.
But it was in The Uprooted that he did something quite radical. He looked at the Irish as well as the other major American immigrant groups and argued that, as The New York Times put it, "Immigration -- more than the frontier experience, or any other episode in its past -- was the continuing, defining event of American history."
Imagine saying this in 1950s America. There had not yet been a Catholic in the White house. World War II had (supposedly) erased so many ethnic differences and immigration quotas from the 1920s had drastically reduced the number of foreign-born Americans.
In fact, in the early 1950s, venerable Ellis Island was shuttered with very little fanfare, and many of its buildings were left to rot.
Handlin, though, captured the misery as well as the drama and triumph of the Irish and Germans and Italians and Slavs who emigrated to the U.S. By implying that the journeys of these humble immigrants -- and not the struggles of the founding fathers or the cowboys in the west – is what "made the American people," Handlin was doing quite a bold thing in early 1950s America.
This, after all, was an era when adding the words "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance passed for social reform.
Since the 1920s, Americans had proven themselves fed up with immigrants. If you want proof of this, check out Ken Burns' new documentary of the Prohibition-era, set to air on PBS stations Sunday, October 2.
It is no accident that immigration restrictions and the prohibition of alcohol were passed within a few years of each other. The anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant Ku Klux Klan also rode to prominence once again in the twenties.
Middle American Protestants were fed up with what they viewed as the corrupt ethnic cities, with their exotic religions and old world vices. Irish pubs and political machines, German radicals, Italian gangsters, all of these flamed fear of the big bad city.
It took 25 years for Oscar Handlin to weed through such stereotypes to find the poetry, the sadness, and the epic heroism, in the immigrant story.
And yet, the likes of Bachmann and Santorum believe that the way to the White House is to blast Perry (of all people) for charging in-state tuition to the children of illegal immigrants.
The sad part is, such comments have consistently been met with lusty applause at Republican debates, with Bachmann calling for fences "on every mile, on every yard, on every foot" of the Texas-Mexico border.
Almost makes you glad you can still have drink.
Then again, that may change if any of these folks actually get into the Oval Office.

Illegal is Illegal is illegal. WHAT PART OF THAT WORD IS EVERYONE GETTING so CONFUSED ABOUT? I am sick and tired of those saying yes but if. Why have laws if you are going to tiptoe around THEM? So no one's feelings get hurt? I am sorry your child was put here because of your ignorance. What are you teaching them? Go back to the country you came from and do it legally. What really gets me is that they come in not just from Mexico and think they are entitled. WTF!!

The writer has not researched the Republican candidates backgrounds on illegal immigration. In his 2007 campaign for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney separated himself from John McCains Amnesty plan by declaring that the illegal aliens must go home. In the 2011 Republican campaign the anti-illegal alien feelings of the voters have multiplied so much that Perry's in-State Tuition aid to children of illegal aliens stood out like a sore thumb.

The anti-immigration laws we are seeing in some states even without large immigration populations indicate a concern about not just illegal immigration, but those immigrants who are here legally. Let's face it, "It's them, not their papers". Texas has always had a more progressive view on this topic driven primarily by the demand from employers to not cut off their lucrative, low-wage, low-benefit work force.

Can I become an Irish Citizen without following laws that Ireland has passed to control emmigration? Look at the duel citizenship requirements that are imposed. My paternal grandfather came from Sligo, I have an official copy of his birth certificate. Because I don't know where my parents were married to get a marriage certificate I can't complete and make application for dual citizenship. Yet the US is being chastized by suggesting that illegal immigrants not be given the same right as a US Citizen. What sense does all this make?

The early immigrants came into the U.S. legally through designated ports of entry. They were legal documented immigrants. The U.S. knew their names & birthdates, their nationalities, their former occupations, and their health status, etc. Also, take a look at the Passenger Lists. With illegal immigration, the U.S. knows nothing about the people who sneak across its borders. Are they terrorists, criminals, or just poor people looking for a job? How many of you have gone to Texas and Arizona and have talked to the people who live there and to those who live along the borders? How can the U.S. hold some people to the standards of legal immigration and not others? Is America going to have legal immigration with requirements to be met to become a citizen of the U.S., or is it just going to throw open its borders and allow everyone in and make them citizens with all the rights and perks that come with U.S. citizenship? It's not fair to demand some people follow the path of legal immigration and allow others to bypass it and then reward them for doing so. Btw: the story of the lives of early immigrants who lived in the big cities in the East is NOT the same story as immigrants who lived in the small towns and cities in the heartland.

As a Texan I agree with wjb1tex to a point. Children of illegal immigrants are victims here as their parents brought them over so they didn't know but if they spent elementary and high school here and were good student why not give them a break and give them in state tuition. One candidate wants to put fences all around Texas then she better look at doing so from Florida all the way across to California.

Why do you, and others, continue to imply that legal immigration is the same as open borders where anyone can just enter the country at will ? No one that I know is against immigration. Virtually everyone, here in Texas at least, is against illegal immigration. The problems are too numerous to say here. Children who entered many years ago as illegal are a different story and many of us have a more liberal attitude toward them. But don't confuse that with acceptance of allowing illegal immigration.

Go proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying: Thus says G-d, I remember for you the affection of your youth, the love of your bridal days, how you followed Me in the wilderness in a land that was not planted.
This is another of the verses of remembrances recited as part of the Rosh Hashana musaf service. The Radak explains this verse as follows: G-d is telling the Jews, "Even though I must bring bad things upon you because of your evil deeds, I will not allow you to be destroyed. Not only that, I will punish those who harm you. I do this because of the love you showed Me when you agreed to follow Moses and Aaron for 40 years in the wilderness, in a place where there was no food."

Migration und Integration – wissenschaftliche Perspektiven aus Österreich

Migrations- und Integrationsforschung -
plus S&H
PDF eBook | 32,99 € |
Migration is a classical transversal matter that fosters research in a variety of disciplines. Interdisciplinary exchange, however, is rare. The Yearbook on Migration and Integration Research contributes to filling this gap by documenting the issues and results of Austrian research in this field on a regular basis. The contributions in the present first volume discuss both classical topics, such as asylum, citizenship and discrimination, and more recent aspects such as the European care labour market, sham marriages or the importance of migration for the media and art. Specific sections provide insight into recent theoretical and methodological apporaches and broach the question how research results can be translated into practice. The Yearbook addresses not only the German-speaking research community, but also a broad audience interested in new approaches to questions related to migration.

Why does pal of Hannity not think women should have the vote?
Far right-wing political commentator, Jesse Lee Peterson, spoke on the rights of women. Sort of. He was a board member of the California branch of the Christian Coalition, Pat Robertson's group, by the way. Well, this is what he said about women and voting:
"Women cannot handle power. It's not in them to handle power in the right way. [...] I think that one of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote. We should've never turned this over to women. [...] It was a big mistake. [...] And these women are voting in the wrong people. They're voting in people who are evil who agrees [sic] with them who're gonna take us down this pathway of destruction.
And this probably was the reason they didn't allow women to vote when men were men. Because men in the good old days understood the nature of the woman. They were not afraid to deal with it. And they understood that, you let them take over, this is what would happen."
Any different than hearing a Saudi cleric talk about how women should not be able to drive a car? Not really.
He had also thanked "God and white people" for slavery, which is strange, because he is African American. He also said that being on slave ships was "akin to being on a crowded airplane." Well, maybe it isn't a surprise, Christian right-wing nationalist types, such as Sean Hannity, love hearing from these types of black commentators.
One who will parrot whatever people like Hannity say, if not go even further to the right. Maybe Peterson can become an apologist for the KKK, in his next job.
Peterson blessing the god of the bible for slavery is no surprise, the bible itself blesses and justifies slavery. Another reason to ignore it when it is used to oppose gay rights.

'Golden' sturgeon
Question: I caught a couple of sturgeon recently that were golden around the edges of the fins. I called them "golden sturgeon" but have never heard of sturgeon being this color. They were 40 – 45 inches in length. Could they just be young white sturgeon, or are they something else?
Answer: According to California Department of Fish and Wildlife Sturgeon Monitoring Program Manager Marty Gingras, California has only green and white sturgeon, and those species have never been hybridized. We've never seen or received reports of a white sturgeon that looked golden. A "golden sturgeon" is most likely a green sturgeon that appears a bit golden. Please remember that green sturgeon may not be removed from the water and must be released immediately (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 5.81(b)).
To differentiate between green and white sturgeon, here are a few quick and easy tips:
Dorsal scutes (bony plates) — Greens have one or two trailing the dorsal fin, but on white sturgeon they are absent.
Vent — Greens have the vent between the pelvic fins, but on white sturgeon it's found toward the tail.
Belly stripe — Present on greens but absent on white sturgeon.
Scutes along the side — Greens have 23 – 30 scutes while whites have 38 – 48.
The first three characteristics above are most readily apparent and should help anglers correctly identify the species.Sometimes the bluntness of the snout and location of barbels is mentioned, but these are variable and somewhat subjective.
You mentioned the fish you caught were 40 – 45 inches in length and you wondered if they were young. Unfortunately, not much is known about green sturgeon, but white sturgeon of that size are usually 10 – 15 years old, and quite likely have not yet spawned for the first time.

Lighted arrow nocks
Question:I would like to use luminocks or nocturnal lighted nocks on my hunting arrows to help better recover arrows after the shot. I've heard current laws were being amended to allow the use of lighted nocks on arrows for bowhunting. I plan to hunt for bear and deer but want to be sure they are legal in California.
Answer:Yes. As of July 1, 2013, the following regulation was amended to specifically allow lighted nocks. Please see the last sentence below.
CCR Title 14, section 354(c): For the taking of big game, hunting arrows and crossbow bolts with a broad head type blade which will not pass through a hole seven-eighths inch in diameter shall be used. Mechanical/retractable broad heads shall be measured in the open position. For the taking of migratory game birds, resident small game, furbearers and nongame mammals and birds any arrow or crossbow bolt may be used except as prohibited by subsection (d) below. Notwithstanding the general prohibition of the use of lights in Fish and Game Code section 2005, arrows or crossbow bolts with lighted nocks that do not emit a directional beam of light may be used.
Video while fishing
Question:I am an avid videographer and I like to take a lot of video while fishing. I recently purchased a camera mount that will allow me to take underwater fishing videos while trolling. My plan is to set this up on a separate pole with heavy line to drag behind the boat as we fish. The only thing on the end of the line willbe the weight and camera. There will be no lures or hooks on the line. The video will not be used in an attempt to take fish. Instead, I will use it later when I edit videos of my trip to provide hook-up and action scenes. Is any of this against fish and game regulations? Can having the camera mounted at the end of the line on a pole not being used for fishing be considered as another rod in the water? Just want to make sure I am not doing anything wrong in case we get checked by a game warden.
—Gerry M.
Answer: As long as the rod is used only for video equipment and is not as an additional rod to take salmon, this is all legal.
Replacing lost deer tags
Question:After a long search I am certain I have lost my deer tags. How do I get replacements before my hunt next Saturday?
—Jim C.
Yuba City
Answer: Replacing a lost or destroyed big game tag (deer, bear and pig tags) can be done only through a CDFW license sales office and requires signing an affidavit and paying a fee of $9.79.The duplicate tag can be obtained in person or through the mail.

Looking Forward & Back
A classic album revisited and a showcase of new music
Back in the summer of 1984, I attended by first music festival. As a 16 year old set loose in a world of music for three days, it was a whole new world opened up to me. It was the first Cornerstone Festival, held in Grayslake, Ill., and I was up early and out late, absorbing everything I could.
One of the first bands I remember seeing was a trio from Southern California that went by the name Youth Choir, a group that I came upon on a warehouse type side stage (the festival was held on a country fairgrounds) at roughly noon, as everything was starting to get underway. Over the years, I continued to follow the band as I grew up and it grew up -- eventually shedding the "Youth" to become simply The Choir, releasing 13 studio albums and even garnering a pair of Grammy nominations.
This past summer, Cornerstone finally shut down after 28 years and The Choir played the last set of the night. That appearance gave the group the distinction of both the first and last band to play Cornerstone during that festival's tenure. More than just a festival band, however, The Choir has been a band that I, like many others, have grown up with.
Yes, Cornerstone was primarily a Christian music festival and The Choir started out as a Christian band. It still is, I guess, but that's always been secondary. The key to the group has always been its songwriting and how it presented life and its struggles -- not just with faith, but with families, relationships and personal issues.
Many consider the band's 1990 release, Circle Slide, to be the group's high water mark, garnering acclaim from both critics and fans alike and breaking ground both sonically and lyrically within the Christian music genre. For myself, Wide Eyed Wonder (1989) was always the album that resonated most, especially as I got older and had my own family, as the songs related to family, children, love and putting others before yourself.
After laying relatively low for over five years, The Choir has released a trio of its most personal and impressive albums to date: O How the Mighty Have Fallen, Burning Like The Midnight Sun and The Loudest Sound Ever Heard (released in 2005, 2010 and 2012, respectively). Parlaying the success of those albums, the band has also resumed touring, taking a special show on the road which arrives in Tulsa at The Vanguard Monday night, Oct. 8.
This particular tour is special in two regards. One: This is the first time the band has played in Tulsa (or Oklahoma for that matter) since the Circle Slide Tour stopped at ORU in 1991. Two: The band is not only showcasing its new material, but also playing its 1988 release, Chase the Kangaroo, in its entirety during the current tour, revisiting the album for its 25th anniversary.
With the current fall tour preparing to kick off, I was recently able to speak with drummer and lyricist Steve Hindalong at length, discussing the tour, the band's history, the new material and how the band's catalog all ties together. Before getting to the new material, however, I had to what led the band to revisit Chase the Kangaroo, nearly 25 years after it was released.
Hindalong was incredibly candid when discussing the tour, stating "I think Chase the Kangaroo was when we really started to come into our own, creatively, and it was pretty successful as well, so we really learned from it. It also seems to be the one our fans keep reminding us of and referring to, but we have mixed feelings about it."
"I understand that the people following us tend to be nostalgic and that record puts them in a place where they discovered us, but we're also proud of the new record and want to play our new songs as well," he explained
"Basically, we said 'I wonder what it would be like to revisit that?'" he continued. "It's fun to go back in time and have that nostalgic experience, but at the same time I think our new album holds its own and for me personally, I feel like I've grown and have more to say than I did when I was in my 20s."
"It's mixed feelings," he said, "But if I saw U2 or James Taylor, I'd want to hear 'Pride in the Name of Love' or 'Carolina on My Mind,' so I understand where the fans are coming from as well."
When reflecting on the band's past and not only how it has matured, but how it's catalog has stood the test of time, Hindalong shared that "I find it interesting how cyclical music is and how our songs sound relevant again."
Of course, for many fans, the band's music never lost its relevance. The trends in the music industry and return of synth and guitar-driven pop with the likes of The Killers and Imagine Dragons (to name just a couple), however, have definitely created an environment where The Choir's albums from more than 20 years ago sound just as fresh and current as the new material.
When looking back, however, Hindalong shared that "I think our strength as a band is melody and it always has been. Derri's (Daugherty, guitarist and singer) gift is melody. He's not very flashy, but he plays very melodically and me, I'm a lyricist and drums are secondary."
"When we write, Derri starts with a musical idea," he said. "A song almost always starts with the music and it's usually a good hook that Derri came up with. Tim Chandler is also a very melodic bass player, so it's always been a strength for us and it's lucky for me to be able to offer words that are strengthened by great melodies."
"For most people, when they think of Bob Dylan, they think of his lyrics," Hindalong continued. "To me, though, his lyrics are maybe third and his voice second. First to me has always been his melodies, which many people don't think about for Dylan, but that's what I've always love about him and Peter Paul & Mary and The Byrds."
Of course, the melodies are what often make the songs stick in our minds, but it's Hindalong's lyrics that make the most impact and create the personal connection that makes The Choir's fans so loyal. That's part of what makes The Choir's resurgence so intriguing: While the new songs are very melodic and layered musically, they are also the band's most mature and thoughtful to date.
Historically, the band's albums have also been thematic. When asked about this tendency, Hindalong shared that it wasn't anything premeditated with each record, but that each album is written at a particular time or season in life and the songs reflect that.
"Derri offers something musically and I feel something," he said. "I always feel an emotional response to what Derri has written and that's what comes out."
Hindalong did admit, however, that with the band's latest album "I wanted it to be a little more universal. The last album (Burning Like the Midnight Sun) was very personal and I felt like people might be a little alienated by that, so I wanted this one to be a little more relatable."
"I came through some difficult times," he continued, "and I wanted to encourage people with this record, which makes it very different, I think."
When looking at how all of The Choir's albums tie together, however, Hindalong shared that "There's always ultimately a redemptive thread in all our music, with themes of mercy and redemption, but we just take it one record at a time and write about what's going on in our lives. There are just certain turning points that tend to show up in the albums."
Almost 30 years into the band's career, The Choir has hit a new plateau. Although Hindalong may fear that Burning Like the Midnight Sun is a bit too personal, that's exactly what makes it so engaging as one of the band's most intimate albums about personal relationships and friendship. In turn, The Loudest Sound Ever Heard is more broad, touching on redemption and renewal and has an appropriately layered and more wide reaching sound.
The fact that the band is touring again is reason enough for fans to celebrate, especially as it revisits a classic album in its entirety, then follows up with new material on the current run of dates. This is a great show for those new to the band as well, though, as the new material is some of the strongest and most immediate of the group's career and this is one of the few bands that can recreate its studio work just as effectively in a live setting.
If you're a fan of classic Christian alt-rock or just great, universal songwriting, you don't want to miss the Choir when the band makes a rare Oklahoma appearance at the Vanguard this Monday night, October 8. Tickets are still available for $10 and Scales of Motion will open the shows, beginning at 8pm.

Members of the Action 4 News team worked together to bring you this report.
A Laureles woman is out on bond after being accused of a scheme where she visited several doctors to get prescriptions for the same pain killer.
Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) state troopers arrested 42-year-old Michelle Lee Oropeza on Wednesday.
Court records released on Friday show that Oropeza is accused of going to six doctors to get prescriptions for vicodin since January.
Oropeza allegedly hit up one clinic in Port Isabel and five more in Brownsville.
State troopers learned about the activity from the one of the doctor's offices after they became suspicious she was abusing the medication.
Investigators checked with the doctors and local pharmacies and learned she had filled several prescriptions.
Authorities charged Oropeza with three counts of attempted possession of a controlled substance by fraud.
Oropeza was released from the Cameron County Jail after posting $15,000 dollars in bonds.

A stunning necklace
By Darlene
from Mississauga
I found the necklace beautiful but heavy.It is a bright bold look. The tassels are very smooth and will not 'snag' on anything you are wearing. It is heavy enough that the necklace will not rotate around.I'm not one for wearing crew neck tops/sweater all the time, so I'm returning it because I believe that the tassels will turn my skin green when I sweat since it is not true gold.

It's less of an issue than for sysfs (there we have network interfaces exposed, which hurts a lot more) and the most immediate problem has an fs of its own (devpts), but it's going to cause trouble as soon as container folks get serious about per-container block device visibility, etc.
I'd chalk that up to "lousy design likely to cause PITA for kernel work". Note that the only reason the problem exists at all is that this thing has been put kernel-side. And yes, we can kill the single-tree part of that mess, but then we'll get another source of headache with deciding how to propagate creation/removal events.
And no, that's not the only problem with that sucker.

udev in containers is no better than devtmpfs. And besides, you can simply enumerate device nodes by going through all major/minor numbers and be done with it.
Real namespacing of kernel resources is required in any case. And not a window dressing you're proposing.

Then why so much hate at devtmpfs? It's certainly not mandatory and it's useful for a wide class of users. Its source code is simple and short (yeah, it probably should be moved to /fs directory).
I kinda don't understand what criteria you're applying to 'good' vs. 'bad' design. I suspect it mostly is "if it makes someone's life easier than it's a bad design".

Can you be even less specific?
> 3) sufficiently recent udev *does* make devtmpfs mandatory. As you very well know. Ah, I've been using udev-172 on my devices. Looks like it's time to upgrade, I'm glad they're now relying on devtmpfs.
You can easily re-add support for new node creation in udev. But why bother? What exactly are you planning to achieve that way?

Sarah Connor in the Terminator (1984) and T2 (1991)
Actress Linda Hamilton turned Sarah Connor – parent of John Connor, saviour of the future – into the ultimate bad-ass matriarch, in James Cameron's pile-driving pair of action thrillers. Ms Connor risks all to protect her son, and therefore save mankind – unreasonable to ask more of any mother, surely, besides which no doting screen mum has ever looked so serenely at home with a high-powered assault rifle.

Lung Cancer Screening Team
Who is part of the multidisciplinary lung cancer screening team?
At the Swedish Cancer Institute we want to deliver the best care possible to our patients. Given the complexities of screening for lung cancer, it is important that it is performed in the context of a multidisciplinary team to deliver safe and quality care. We have 12 years of experience screening for lung cancers and have been leaders in research laying the groundwork establishing the importance of lung cancer screening; we feel strongly that screening must include qualified radiologists who are familiar with the details of CT screening for lung cancer, as well as a care team that includes thoracic surgeons, interventional pulmonologists, medical oncologists, expert lung pathologists, and thoracic surgery nurse practitioners.
This multidisciplinary team was carefully created to offer a comprehensive approach to screening for lung cancer and to assess the needs and risks of patients with tobacco exposure. This team approach with years of experience make us uniquely qualified and equipped to further work up lung nodules, reduce unnecessary concerns, create effective medical and surgical plans while delivering safe and effective care to our patients who are at risk for lung cancer.
To schedule an appointment or for more information about our screening program, you can call 206-386-6800, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Network of Locations
Cancer services are provided at the Arnold Pavilion and at our locations in Ballard, Bellevue, Cherry Hill, Edmonds, Issaquah and Burien (Highline partnership).
