Percutaneous embolization is an effective way of treating hemorrhagic conditions and of eliminating the vascular supply of mass lesions. Embolization can be performed either as a definitive treatment or as an adjunct to subsequent surgical management. Safe and effective application of embolic therapy requires high-level catheter skills, familiarity with the embolic agent being used, and knowledge of any agent-specific delivery considerations. This article reviews the features of the most commonly used embolic agents and discusses important general considerations for embolization procedures.
The first transcatheter embolizations were performed in the 1930s to occlude carotidcavernous fistulae. 1 The carotid arteries were exposed surgically, and muscle, fat, or fascia were used as embolic agents. In 1968, autologous clot was first described as an embolic agent to occlude a spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). 2 This technique was quickly adopted for use in gastrointestinal hemorrhage, 3 genitourinary bleeding, 4 and traumatic hemorrhage from pelvic fractures. 5 In the 1970s, three new types of embolic material were introduced for permanent intravascular occlusion: glue, 6 mechanical devices (such as stainless steel coils), 7 and the first form of polyvinyl alcohol foam. 8
Vessel occlusion is achieved either by direct mechanical occlusion alone or by a combination of mechanical obstruction and the establishment of a framework for thrombus formation. Glue is an example of a direct mechanical agent. Polymerization of the glue forms a cast that plugs the treated vessel directly. On the other hand, coils, with their fibers, provide a matrix for thrombus formation in addition to their mechanical obstruction.
Over the last decades, multiple variations of these embolic materials--as well as other, entirely new embolic agents--have been introduced. While each agent has its utility, no single embolic agent is suitable for all indications. Rather, for each case, one must choose the one that is most appropriate for that patient from among the available agents.
This article reviews the most commonly used embolic agents, with emphasis on their specific applications and delivery features and will offer practical tips for safe embolization.
Embolic materials
Autologous clot
The obvious advantages of autologous clot are its immediate availability, absence of cost, and lack of adverse reaction. Embolization with autologous clot is simple: aspirate roughly 20 mL of the patient's blood and allow it to clot, then discard the supernatant and reintroduce the clot through the catheter. If desired, the clot can be opacified by adding sterile tantalum powder. The major drawback is its rapid lysis time, which can lead to recanalization within 6 to 12 hours. This problem can be partially overcome by modification of the autologous clot.
The modified clot is produced by withdrawing 20 to 30 mL of the patient's blood and then adding 500 to 1000 U thrombin and 250 to 500 mg aminocaproic acid (Amicar, Immunex Corporation, Raleigh, NC) to the blood. Aminocaproic acid promotes cross linking of the fibrin precipitate and formation of a more stable thrombus. 9 Again, the supernatant is discarded and the clot is injected through the catheter. This modification delays recanalization for approximately 24 hours. Because even the modified thrombus provides only a very short occlusion time, autologous clot is rarely used today. In certain circumstances in which a short-term occlusion is all that is needed, autologous clot should be considered. Such an application could be the treatment of a high-flow priapism.
Absorbable bioprosthetic material
The most widely used absorbable bioprosthetic material is gelatin sponge (Gelfoam, Pharmacia & Upjohn Co., Kalamazoo, MI). Gelfoam is available in powder and sheet form. Particles of Gelfoam powder measure 40 to 60 µm in diameter and produce a very peripheral occlusion. Because of the very distal occlusion and the potential resulting complication of tissue infarction, the powder form is used infrequently. The Gelfoam sheets can be cut into pledgets of the desired size, usually 1 to 3 mm. The pledgets are then suspended in a mixture of contrast and saline and are injected through a catheter with a small syringe, typically 1 or 3 mL in size. Since Gelfoam floats in fluid, the syringe is held nose up.
For more distal embolization (though not as distal as the powder), a slurry of Gelfoam can be created by macerating the pledgets with two syringes and a three-way stopcock: the more passes the Gelfoam makes through the stopcock, the more it is fragmented and the smaller the pieces become. Alternatively, if a very proximal occlusion is desired, Gelfoam "torpedoes" can be formed by compressing and rolling strips of Gelfoam, which are then loaded into the nozzle of a 1- or 3-mL syringe (Figure 1).
Gelfoam embolization provides a temporary occlusion lasting approximately 3 to 6 weeks. For this reason, Gelfoam is often used for embolization of pelvic trauma 10 or postpartum hemorrhage, 11 especially when there are multiple punctuate bleeding sites from various branches of the internal iliac artery. In such situations, embolization should be initiated with Gelfoam slurry to achieve a relatively distal level of occlusion and then followed by Gelfoam pledgets or torpedoes.
Alternative absorbable embolic bioprosthetic materials include oxidized cellulose (Oxycel, Parke-Davis, Detroit, MI) and microfibrillar collagen (Avitene, Avicon Inc., Fort Worth, TX). Oxycel creates a matrix for thrombus formation. Because it has no clear advantage over Gelfoam and its filmy nature makes it more difficult to handle, Oxycel is rarely used anymore. Avitene is injected as a thick paste and its efficacy in causing platelet aggregation and activation leads to quick hemostasis. It must be used with great care because of its potential for causing severe granulomatous arteritis and extensive tissue infarction secondary to distal occlusion.
Nonabsorbable particles
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is essentially a plastic sponge that is fragmented and then filtered to a certain size range. Although PVA is available in sizes between 50 and 2000 µm, the typical size ranges used clinically are 300 to 500 µm or 500 to 700 µm. Smaller particles have a significant risk of tissue infarction due to their distal level of occlusion. Larger particles may occlude the delivery catheter because PVA--being hydrophobic--has a tendency to flocculate. The particles are mixed in a 1:1 contrast:saline solution and are suspended through a three-way stopcock. If PVA particles are floating, more saline can be added to obtain a homogeneous suspension; conversely, if the particles are sinking, more contrast can be added. In order to avoid blockage of the catheter and to obtain evenly distributed emboli, the material should be resuspended immediately prior to injection. Nonuniform delivery can lead to particle aggregation, which, in turn, results in a more proximal occlusion than intended. This aggregation generally resolves with time (usually several minutes), so embolization at the intended occlusion level can be continued.
PVA is used predominantly for tumor embolization, either for preoperative devascularization or as definitive treatment, such as in uterine fibroid embolization. 12 In addition, PVA can be used when treating hemorrhage of a vascular bed with multiple small branches. An example of such bleeding is hemoptysis in patients with chronic inflammatory lung disease. Bleeding can usually be stopped by particulate bronchial artery embolization. 13 Prior to bronchial embolization, the presence of a spinal artery originating from the treated vessel should be excluded. 14
An alternative to PVA particles are microspheres (Embosphere, BioSphere Medical, Rockland, MA). Embospheres are precisely calibrated, spherical, hydrophilic, microporous beads made of an acrylic copolymer, which is then cross-linked with gelatin. The hydrophilic surface prevents aggregation, allowing a more predictable, uniform vessel occlusion than PVA, as well as easier delivery through small catheters. The latter feature is enhanced by the material's elasticity, which allows temporary deformation during delivery. Like PVA, Embospheres are suspended in a 1:1 contrast:saline mixture. The indications for embospheres are similar to PVA; however, to date, the main applications are neurointerventional procedures and uterine fibroid embolizations. 15
Because no aggregation occurs with Embospheres, their use is slightly different from that of PVA. First, the particle size selected in any given application should generally be one size larger than what would be employed with PVA. Second, Embospheres effectively occlude the vessel at the target diameter, but, because they don't aggregate, they don't occlude vessels with larger diameters. Therefore, embolization may be stopped before stasis in the feeding artery is achieved.
Another therapeutic option for embolization with microspheres was introduced during the 2002 Society of Cardiovascular & Interventional Radiology (SCVIR) meeting. Ceramic microspheres have been embedded with the beta emitter Yttrium-90 (TheraSphere, MDS Nordion, Kanata, Canada) to provide internal radiation of hepatic malignancies. 16 Because of the small mean diameter of the TheraSpheres (25 µm), the radioactive particles are distributed within the tumor for local radiation therapy without significant embolization of blood flow. The major potential complication is radiation pneumonitis secondary to particles that are shunted to the lungs. Therefore, before using this technique, significant intrahepatic arteriovenous shunting should be ruled out by pulmonary scintigraphy after injection of technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin into the proper hepatic artery.
The first embolic coils consisted of pieces of stainless steel guidewires onto which strands of wool had been woven to add a matrix for thrombus formation. Because of concerns about perivascular reactions, polyester fibers (Dacron, DuPont, Wilmington, DE) have since been substituted for wool. Installation of thrombin into the cartridge in which the coil is constrained before delivery can further increase the thrombogenicity of a coil. In addition to stainless steel, coils are also available in platinum. Stainless-steel coils are best suited for high-flow applications due to their high radial force, which helps prevent dislodging. Platinum coils, on the other hand, are highly visible under fluoroscopy and are much softer than stainless steel. This facilitates accommodation of the coil to the vessel.
Appropriate sizing is important to ensure occlusion of the vessel at the intended location. A coil that is too small will be carried distally by flowing blood, while a coil that is too large will form an elongated, sinusoidal shape, rather than a tight "nest." An elongated, open configuration decreases the effectiveness of thrombus formation. In addition, an oversized coil can force the delivery catheter back, even displacing it out of the target vessel. Nonetheless, in situations in which distal embolization must absolutely be avoided, such as in cases of pulmonary AVMs (Figure 2), the initial "anchoring" coil should be oversized by several millimeters deliberately.
For delivery, coils are loaded from their carrier sheath into the catheter by pushing with the back end of a guidewire. The coil must be advanced far enough into the catheter so that later it can be easily pushed through the catheter and into the target vessel with the floppy end of a straight guidewire or a dedicated "coil pusher." Alternatively, small coils can be pushed through the catheter with hydraulic pressure. With this method, the coil essentially is injected into the vessel with a 1- or 3-mL syringe.
This technique is required for microcatheter liquid coils (Liquid Coil, Boston Scientific, Fremont, CA). Liquid coils can be cut to any desired length (Figure 3) and can be retrieved by suction with a 20-mL syringe before complete delivery. Liquid coils occlude small arteries very effectively by forming a dense cast in the vessel (Figure 4). Occasionally, a straight or C-shaped microcoil is placed first to avoid a too distal injection of a liquid coil.
One disadvantage of most coils is that they cannot be retrieved once they are extruded from the catheter tip. The most commonly used retrievable coil is the Gugliemi detachable coil (GDC) system (Boston Scientific, Fremont, CA). The coil is welded to the pusher wire and can be placed and retracted repeatedly until optimal positioning is achieved. Once the coil is in the desired position, the wire is attached to a battery device that sends a current along the wire. The current melts the welded connection between the coil and the wire and detaches the coil without any force. GDCs are mainly used for treatment of intracranial aneurysms, 17 but can also be used in other locations where high precision and retrievability is required.
Embolization with coils produces a focal occlusion, leaving the vessel distal to the coil patent, similar to surgical ligature. Therefore, coils are utilized in almost any application in which precise vessel occlusion--but not tissue ablation--is necessary. Applications for coil embolization include treatment of hemorrhage, occlusion of arteriovenous fistulas, 18 and preoperative or pre-stent graft vessel occlusion. 19
Detachable balloons
The use of detachable balloons is an efficient way of achieving immediate mechanical vessel occlusion. The balloon is delivered to the target site, inflated until it achieves a seal against the vessel wall, and then released from the delivery/inflation catheter. All detachable balloon systems, therefore, consist of the balloon, a delivery/inflation catheter, and an introducer catheter. The newer balloons are made of silicone and are attached to the delivery catheter by a self-sealing valve. The balloons come in various shapes and sizes, and with valves that release from the delivery/inflation catheter at one of three predetermined levels of force: low, medium, or high.
The balloon can either be placed through a prepositioned introducer catheter or be "floated" to target site with the blood stream. Once the balloon is in the desired location, it is filled with contrast. Because silicone acts as a semipermeable membrane, osmotic pressure may cause a silicone balloon to rupture if filled with a hypertonic solution. 20 Consequently, the preferred contrast agent is one with an osmolarity close to that of blood, such as iodixanol (Visipaque, Amersham Health, Princeton, NJ). After inflation, balloon detachment is accomplished by pulling back on the delivery catheter, relying on friction against the vessel wall to hold the balloon in place. In some cases, one may choose to stabilize the balloon using an outer coaxial catheter as the inner one is retracted. The more firmly the balloon is attached to the catheter, the lower the chance of a premature, inadvertent release of the balloon. However, balloons that are more firmly attached require more force to detach from the inflation catheter. If the force is greater than that generated by contact with the vessel wall, the balloon will be displaced from its desired location without releasing.
Long-term vascular occlusion appears to occur reliably if the balloon remains inflated for at least 3 weeks. 21 Detachable balloons are a suitable alternative to coils for treating high-flow arterial venous fistulas, such as pulmonary AVM or carotid cavernosal fistulas. Advantages of detachable balloons include retrievability before detachment and a near absence of artifacts on subsequent magnetic resonance imaging. 22
Sclerosant agents
Unlike the previously described embolic agents, which by virtue of their size are arrested at a precapillary level, liquid sclerosants can pass to the capillary level and through to the venous circulation. This feature makes them desirable agents when tissue destruction is warranted, such as for complete ablation of tumors, solid organs, veins, or vascular malformations. 23 Sclerosing agents cause protein denaturation, leading to endothelial destruction and vascular occlusion. Occlusion by sclerosants is usually permanent. The most frequently used sclerosing agent is absolute alcohol. As with other liquid agents, serious complications related to necrosis of normal tissue can occur if alcohol is introduced inadvertently into a normal vascular territory. 24 An appropriate embolization technique is therefore especially important.
The example of renal ablation further illustrates the special features of sclerosants. In such cases, an occlusion balloon is placed into the renal artery distal to the adrenal and gonadal branches. Contrast is then injected through the inflated balloon to determine the volume of alcohol needed to fill the renal vasculature (usually between 6 and 10 mL). After the contrast is allowed to wash away, the balloon is reinflated for alcohol injection. The balloon remains filled for a few minutes to allow thrombosis to occur. The catheter is then aspirated before the balloon is deflated to remove any alcohol remaining in the artery in order to prevent reflux into the aorta. This step is critical because alcohol is less dense than blood, and will therefore float along the anterior aspect of the aorta. Potentially, any refluxing material could enter more caudal anterior arteries; in most individuals, this is the inferior mesenteric artery. Colonic infarction secondary to renal artery ablation with alcohol has been reported. 25 On the other hand, small volumes of alcohol that wash through the tumor are harmless because they are diluted rapidly in the renal venous system.
Other sclerosing agents include sodium tetradecyl sulfate (Sotradecol, Elkins Sinn, Cherry Hill, NJ) and polidocanol (Aethoxysklerol, Kreussler and Co., Chemische Fabrik, Wiesbaden, Germany). Sotradecol is an ionic detergent mostly used for varicocele embolization. During injection into the gonadal vein, the inguinal ring must be compressed to prevent reflux into the scrotum, which could cause testicular infarction. 26 Aethoxysklerol, a solvent and nonionic emulsifier, is used predominantly for sclerosis of varicose veins.
The principal feature of embolic polymers (also known as glues) is that they are liquid in a nonionized environment, such as 5% dextrose water (DW5), but polymerize to a solid state almost instantly in an ionized medium, such as blood. This characteristic is particularly useful in treating large, high-flow lesions, such as AVMs. The rate of polymerization--and thereby the depth of polymer penetration into a vascular structure--can be controlled by diluting the glue with nonionic fluids. Ethiodol is ideal for this purpose because it also makes the mixture radiopaque. N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate (Trufill, Cordis Neurovascular Inc., Miami Lakes, FL) is one such agent approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
To avoid premature polymerization, it is critical that all ionic compounds be excluded from contact with the agent. Thus, preparation for glue embolization begins with putting on fresh, dry gloves and carefully flushing the delivery system, including the hub of the catheter, with DW5. The polymer is then mixed with ethiodol at glue:ethiodol ratios of 1:1 to 1:4. As indicated above, polymer dilution depends upon the rate of blood flow in the vessel being treated. Less diluted glue would be used for high-flow arteriovenous fistula, more diluted glue for low-flow AVMs. A more dilute mixture also reduces the likelihood of gluing the catheter to the target vessel.
Glue should be injected with a 1-mL syringe. Generally only a few milliliters of glue are used. As soon as the mixture is injected, the delivery catheter must be removed to prevent it from being glued in place. Because the delivery catheter is removed after each aliquot of glue, embolization must always be performed with a coaxial system to preserve access.
A new biocompatible liquid embolic agent, consisting of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (Onyx, Micro Therapeutics Inc., Irvine, CA), was introduced recently in Europe. Onyx contains tantalum powder to render it radiopaque. After Onyx is injected into the target lesion, the dimethyl sulfoxide solvent rapidly diffuses away, causing precipitation of the polymer and formation of a spongy cast. The cast solidifies from the outside in. Onyx allows a prolonged, controlled embolization because of its nonadhesive nature. Currently, Onyx is available for investigational use only in the United States.
Considerations before embolization
The choice of a specific embolic agent for an individual case depends on both the desired level of occlusion and the duration of occlusion required. Splenic artery embolization can be used as an example of different embolization strategies. Proximal occlusion with coils or large Gelfoam pledgets would be appropriate for splenic artery embolization prior to surgical splenectomy, whereas distal embolization with particles should be applied for definitive percutaneous tissue ablation in hypersplenism.
The patient's condition also influences the approach used in embolization. An unstable patient needs a quick life-saving embolization procedure. For example, in the case of pelvic hemorrhage, scattered Gelfoam embolization or embolization of an entire internal iliac artery may be more appropriate than superselective coil embolization. The latter can be performed in a stable patient in whom procedure time is less of an issue. Also, the coagulation status has to be known. Since embolic agents function either by direct mechanical occlusion alone or by additionally providing a framework for thrombus formation as mentioned above, the patient's coagulation status can influence the selection of embolic materials. A detachable balloon leads to immediate vessel occlusion independent of the coagulation status of the patient, whereas vessel occlusion after coil embolization can be prolonged in a coagulopathic patient.
Embolization procedure
A detailed understanding of target anatomy, and especially of potential collaterals, is important for safe and effective embolization. In some cases, embolization proximal and distal to the bleeding site may be required to avoid recurrent bleeding through collateral vessels (Figure 5). Thus, unless a patient is extremely unstable, a detailed high-quality angiogram should be obtained to visualize the vascular supply to the target lesion or bleeding site. In cases of abdominal hemorrhage, angiography should generally start with a nonselective (ie, aortic) injection in order to identify occult anatomic anomalies (such as an accessory renal artery) or any unusual or unexpected bleeding sources (Figure 6).
As a general rule, a coaxial catheter system should be used for embolization procedures because this approach permits removal of the inner catheter without losing access. Having this ability is critical should the catheter itself become occluded by embolic material. In addition, the selected catheter should match the planned embolic agent. For particulate embolization, the inner lumen of the microcatheter has to be large enough for the chosen particle size. In addition, because particulate embolization relies upon antegrade blood flow to carry the particles into the target territory, the catheter profile should be low enough to minimize spasm and maximize antegrade flow (in a small vessel, this may require a microcatheter). For coil embolization, side-hole catheters should be avoided because coils can be partially extruded before reaching the catheter tip. Polyurethane catheters should also be avoided because of high friction during coil delivery. In addition, the catheter and coil diameter must be concordant. Obviously, a coil with a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the catheter cannot be introduced, but also delivery of a microcoil through a 0.035-inch catheter must be avoided, because premature coiling in the catheter, with resultant catheter occlusion, may occur. Although dedicated coil pushers exist, any straight guidewire matching the inner diameter of the delivery catheter can be used. Glidewires should be avoided, however, because they can become "sticky" during coil advancement.
Selective catheterization of the target vessel is carried out using standard catheter technique. Once the catheter is in its expected final position, a selective angiogram through the catheter should be performed to ensure that the position is, in fact, correct. It is also critical to be sure that the catheter position is stable. This can be tested with a vigorous saline injection or, for coil embolization, by first advancing the pusher through the catheter without a coil. If an embolization site cannot be accessed transarterially, a direct puncture should be considered. This technique is used increasingly for treatment of type II endoleaks after stent graft placement (Figure 7). 27 When direct access is achieved, an appropriate and stable catheter position should also be verified. The actual embolization is performed under fluoroscopic guidance. During coil embolization, the coil should form its pre-shaped configuration in the vessel. If it does not, but instead begins to form a sinusoidal shape, the catheter should be advanced gently to try to force the coil into the pre-shaped configuration. Alternatively, it may be helpful to "tap" on the coil with the pusher rather than giving continuous forward pressure. During particulate embolization, the particles should be carried away from the catheter by the blood flow. Once reflux is detected, the injection rate must be reduced or the embolization terminated. Reflux detection can be enhanced by using the "negative" road-map if the site of embolization is not moving during respiration. This technique consists of a blind road map image before embolization followed by subtracted images during embolization. Before removing the catheter, effective vessel occlusion should be documented by follow-up angiography.
Consideration after embolization
Most patients experience pain related to ischemia after embolization of solid organs. The pain level tends to increase with more distal embolization secondary to possible tissue infarction. The pain intensity varies markedly between individual patients; therefore, a patient-controlled-analgesia pump is widely used for opiate administration. For severe pain, epidural anesthesia should also be considered. In order to control the pain appropriately, the patient should be admitted overnight to the hospital. Usually the pain decreases after 12 hours, allowing a switch to oral analgesia the next day. Between 10% and 30% of patients experience a postembolization syndrome consisting of pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, and leukocytosis requiring a prolonged hospitalization. In general, these symptoms resolve with symptomatic treatment within a few days. Because the postembolization syndrome can be difficult to distinguish from an infection, prophylactic antibiotics are recommended for solid organ embolization. A single dose just before the procedure is usually enough, but in certain instances--for example, after splenic ablation--a full course of antibiotics is recommended.
Embolotherapy, although known for decades, is a growing treatment modality and a cornerstone of interventional radiology. A combination of catheter skills, profound knowledge of the different embolic agents and their specific characteristics, and understanding of vascular anatomy and disease pathology, together with good clinical judgment, is a prerequisite for successful embolotherapy. The challenge of embolization is to choose an appropriate combination of treatment strategy and embolic agent in each patient.

Breaking It Down: Brother Rice jumped out to a 28-0 lead over Sandburg Friday night on the backs of Andrew Walker and Martez Walker. The two rushed for a combined 330 yards and scored four touchdowns in the Crusaders' 35-14 victory over the Eagles in the first round of the Class 8A football playoffs.
At the outset, Sandburg seemed to get the momentem by shutting down the Crusaders offense, forcing a three-and-out. The Eagles marched down the field, but were stuffed after attempting to punch the ball in on a fourth-and-goal play in the first quarter. After that moment, it was all Crusaders and Martez Walker.
He scored from 28 yards out in the second quarter to cap a 99-yard Crusader drive. Martez Walker found paydirt again from 14 yards out to cap a 68-yard drive. The Crusaders led 14-0 at the half and added two more scores to start the third quarter. Martez Walker broke a 50-yard run, but fumbled the ball inside the Sandburg 5. Crusaders wideout Dan Lyons dove on the loose ball and was credited with a 10-yard fumble recovery for the score. Martez Walker also scored from 5 yards out in that third quarter.
With a 28-0 lead, it seemed the Crusaders had the game well in hand, but Sandburg made things interesting, capitalizing on two turnovers in the fourth quarter. First, a Crusader fumble inside their own 20 gave the Eagles a short field. Lemonte Booker rushed in from 5 yards out. After Brother Rice recovered the onside kick, the Crusaders fumbled on their first offensive snap. Anthony Adams ran in from 1 yard out to finish a 50-yard Eagle scoring drive.
After recovering the onside kick, Sandburg's Adams fumbled a bad snap and Brother Rice recovered. Later, Andrew Walker found the end zone from 3 yards out to put hte Crusaders up 35-14.
Patch MVP: Martez Walker had 16 carries for 183 yards and three touchdowns. He set a single-season Crusaders record with 19 total touchdowns.

Quotable I: Brother Rice coach Steve Nye: "For whatever reason, we came out nervous and had some penalties and miscues early. We always like to make it interesting. We were flat and that goal line stand ignited us. It's playoff time."
Quotable II: Sandburg coach Dave Wierzal: "Our team showed some character. We stepped up defensively, and offensively we had some things happen that kept us in the game. It's easy to look at the score at 28-0 and hang your head, and our kids didn't do that. That's why I'm proud of them."
Team Records: Brother Rice improves to 7-3, Sandburg finishes the season at 6-4.
What's Next: Brother Rice will play at Downers Grove South in Round 2 of the 8A playoffs. The date and time of the game will be announced Monday.

Weather you like it or not: Nemo's coming to find us
Continuing the 2012-2013 trend of not-so-cute storms named after completely adorable pop culture characters, Nor'easter Nemo—now many leagues over the sea—is going to find us. Weather forecasts estimate that Nemo will bring 12 to 18 inches of snow with the potential to top two feet and that Nemo will go down in history as the blizzard not to mess with. Classes have already been cancelled in anticipation of this forthcoming Nor'easter.

In MDT 2012 RTW that released back in April, we included support for DaRT 7, making it easy to add the DaRT components to Lite Touch boot images. See http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2011/11/28/mdt-2012-new-feature-dart-integration.aspx for more details on that.
With MDT 2012 Update 1 Beta 1, we added support for DaRT 8 Beta, while leaving support for DaRT 7 too. So if you are using Windows AIK, you would use DaRT 7; when you are using Windows ADK, you would use DaRT 8. (In general, DaRT releases are OS-specific, so DaRT 8 is for Windows 8 and DaRT 7 is for Windows 7.)
The basic functionality with DaRT 8 is the same as with DaRT 7: we add all the tools to the boot image, and we automatically run the remote agent so that you can make remote connections into Windows PE using the remote viewer (which is integrated into the MDT monitoring solution). Additional functionality in MDT 2012 Update 1:
See http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/springboard/archive/2012/03/28/microsoft-dart-8-beta-q-amp-a.aspx for more information on DaRT 8.
Parabens pelo Post
Hi Michael, does this contain the W8 winpe-srt.cab, I can't seem to find it in the ADK. I see the MUI for it, but not the real deal.
FYI, I already worked around this by using the wim from my install DVD, am just looking for the actual file 'winpe-srt.cab' for doing it manually. Thanks.
Sorry, the SRT (Windows RE) component is not available except for the version that is preinstalled in the boot.wim on the Windows installation media.
Any particular reason why ?
It is unfortunate, but there is a (non-technical) reason for it.
DaRT 8 Beta now signals it has expired when PE boots and the RC does not seem to be available on Connect, VLCS or MSDN.
Any input would be welcomed.
Apparently you can install the DaRT beta on a clean system and it will work fine. On an existing system though, there is an expiration time for the beta.
Not a problem, the only non-technical reason I can think of is that you (i.e. MSFT/Ballmer) does not want us to have it. Good enough.
So must be somebody messed up on the ADK team and forgot to delete the MUI when they ripped it out of the RTM release. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.
Michael, (or anyone looking here)
can you have both DaRT8 & DaRT7 in the same deployment share? or will that cause issues?
No, you can't have both DaRT 7 and DaRT 8. Well, the files can be present but only one of the versions can be used. That's because they are specific to the version of Windows PE being used: DaRT 7 only works with Windows PE 3.0 (WAIK) while DaRT 8 only works with Windows PE 4.0 (ADK).
I tried to add DaRT 8 to MDT 2012 Update 1 DS and when update deployment share regenerate boot image, i got this error message:
The file 'C:\Users\ADM-EL~1\AppData\Local\Temp\MDTUpdate.800\Mount\windows\system32\winpeshl.ini' already exists.
You do get this when you regenerate your boot.win with the DART 7 tools.cab still in the tools folder with the toolsx86 and toolsx64 in there as well. If you go to deployment share tools folder it will tick both DART 7 and DART 8 and you get the below error.
Remove tools.cab out of the deployment share tools folder leaving the appropriate toolsx then you will have only DART 8 listed and then you should be able to re-generate your boot wim's
Once intergrated into the LT boot wims can you use the DaRT8 tool set on Windows 7 systems?
i have a MDT-environment with WINPE4 installed on Server2008R2.
The standard-installation of Dart8 prevents from installing on Server2008R2.
When installing Dart7 and starting a VM will reboot in the process (i think because Dart7 isn`t supported with MDT2012?)
When copying tools.cab from DART8 and import in MDT-bootimage, NO DART8-screen will appear during Pxe-Boot.
What can be done to have a combination of DART8/WINPE4 and MDT2012?
Somebody who is having a working senario like this?
Anybody who has a answer on my last question?

PetroChina, Canada Ink Deal
Prices of light, sweet crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange are currently trading at half their peak hit in July last year. This has led some producers to postpone oil sands projects as they are capital-intensive and need crude futures above a certain threshold to be viable. US oil demand is also in the doldrums due to the global economic downturn, making it harder for producers to justify investments in new crude oil production. However, PetroChina has gone ahead with its investment in Canadian oil sands.

Filed under: Apparel
Lumete Eyewear will be launching its debut collection of luxury eyewear this summer with hopes of elevating sunglasses to "ultimate accessory" status and providing an alternative to designer labels. The line includes five designs that each come in four different color schemes (my favorite is Wanderling in 'Champagne Pearl') and feature lux materials like "richly hued acetates," Swarovski crystals, custom hardware, detailed painting, and intricate etching. All Lumete Eyewear sunglasses are handmade and come with their own satin drawstring "Lumete treasure bag" that includes a special Lumete necklace designed to hold your glasses, hard clutch case, soft pouch case, and microfiber lens cloth. Lumete Eyewear will be available at retailers and online in July for $180/pair.

The news is just in that Tokyo has won the 2020 Olympic Games and guess what? It's only a one hour time difference for Aussies on the east coast and no time difference at that time of year for those on the west! For all Olympians, winning medals and breaking world records are achievements that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Some professional athletes take the extra step of permanently marking themselves with an iconic sports symbol, the Olympic rings. We've noticed several Olympians with Olympic ring tattoos over the years — many are swimmers, but that may be because they have more skin on show — including Australia's Eamon Sullivan, Stephanie Rice and Emily Seebohm. Click through to see who else has Olympic ink!
See the Supermodels Strut at the London Olympics Closing Ceremony
We're not that sports-mad, but the London Olympics closing ceremony truly blew us away this morning thanks to a short but sweet catwalk show, paying tribute to the icons of the British fashion industry. Britain's most beautiful models stormed the stadium in solid-gold looks from the UK's most celebrated designers. Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell both smouldered in Alexander McQueen, Stella Tennant worked a striking Christopher Kane suit, Karem Elson donned Burberry, Lily Donaldson was princess-perfect in Vivienne Westwood, Lily Cole was ethereal in Erdem, Jourdan Dunn wore Jonathan Saunders sheath topped off with a Stephen Jones headpiece, David Gandy looked dapper in Paul Smith and Georgia May Jagger was ultra-cute in Victoria Beckham. Phew! What a role call! Step this way to get your front row ticket to this year's most extravagant fashion show, courtesy of the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony.
Video: Watch the Spice Girls Bring Girl Power to the Olympics Closing Ceremony!
With the London Olympics closing ceremony kicking off at 6 in the morning (it repeats at 9:30 p.m. on Channel Nine), we're not surprised that some people missed the much-anticipated Spice Girls reunion! It was a moment that took us back to the good old days of Ginger, Baby, Sporty, Posh and Scary Spice, as Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chrisholm, Victoria Beckham and Mel B performed "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life" while riding around Olympic Stadium on the top of colourful taxis. But enough about what happened — watch it now!
Celebrities Share Photos From London and the Olympics!
Early this morning we bid the London Olympics farewell as we watched the spectacular closing ceremony bring the Summer Games to a close. Millions of people around the world tuned in to celebrate the best of British music, with performances from acts such as One Direction, Annie Lennox, Take That, George Michael, The Who, and the much-anticipated Spice Girls reunion! Some of the girls shared their post-performance photos as they partied on. Meanwhile, other things that have been documented in social media pictures include Sally Pearson's gold medal win for the 100m hurdles event, Usain Bolt's haircut, and Stephanie Rice's jaunts around the Olympics once her races had finished. Click through to see lots more snaps from the Games!
Snoop Kate Middleton's Entire Olympics Wardrobe, Day-By-Day!
Confession time; we've been a little more interested in keeping track of Kate Middleton's Olympic outfits rather than the Aussie medal tally. But, really, can you blame us when HRH consistently looks so chic, day after day? Catherine always looks immaculate, but it's the way that she's combined patriotism and style that's made us sit up and take note. Her simple tricks? Take Princess-perfect staples like ladylike day-dresses and tailored blazers in a Brit-approved colour palette of blue, red and white, throw in some Kate-classics like skinny J Brand jeans, streamlined clutch bags and an espadrille or two, then finish with the royal blow-dry. Voila! An essay in how to support the country in style. Step inside to snoops Kate's Olympic wardrobe, from her nifty tennis whites through 'til this morning's closing ceremony extravaganza (for which she went for high street chic in a Whistles dress), we don't what's cuter — her logo-ed polos or her "C'mon Team GB" face!
The Spice Girls Reunite in Style for the London Olympics Closing Ceremony
If the supermodel pack won gold for their catwalking prowess at the London Olympics closing ceremony this morning, we'd have to award a silver to the Spice Girls and their chic on-stage ensembles. The girl group who defined the '90s reunited for an energetic performance, with Scary, Sporty, Ginger, Baby and Posh zooming around the Olympic stadium atop their own black London taxi cabs. Of course, it was what the Spicies wore that got our attention first and foremost — Victoria Beckham surprisingly didn't wear one of her own designs, instead opting for a business-at-the-front, party-at-the-back black gown by Giles Deacon. Mel C looked chic and sporty in a crisp jumpsuit, Emma Bunton looked suitably sweet in a hot pink frock with sequinned sleeves, Mel B was sparkilicous thanks to Zuhair Murad and Geri Halliwell paid tribute to her famous Union Jack dress via a bustle on her LRD. It was glam, it was fast, it was fun! Can we get a zig-a-zig-ahh?
All the 2012 London Olympic Closing Ceremonies Pictures
The 2012 London Olympics have come to a close! The closing ceremony wrapped up in London early this morning, and there were so many famous Brits taking part in the fun. The theme was a celebration of British music, and there were plenty of British stars taking part, including Muse, the Spice Girls and George Michael. Even the guys of One Direction were onstage! There was also a tribute to British fashion, with models like Kate Moss strutting their stuff. Check out all the closing ceremony pictures here and keep checking back as we update!
Kate Moss & Naomi Campbell — The Models at the Closing Ceremony
We have to admit, the moment the supermodels walked out into the stadium at the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics this morning — the Sugar office went into a spin. We were screaming and clapping (hey, they are icons), and I think there was even a "Shut. Up." uttered at one point. Kate Moss looked every inch the sex kitten with big hair, smoky eyes and amazingly contoured cheeks (hello cheekbone envy); and Naomi Campbell wore her long, black hair straight. The other models included Georgia May Jagger, Lily Cole, Lily Donaldson, Karen Elson and Stella Tennant — who were all dressed in iconic British designers and came into the stadium in huge trucks featuring their own image. Stay tuned!
The Spice Girls Reunite to Spice Up the London Olympics Closing Ceremony!
It was the moment the world had been waiting for: the reunion of the Spice Girls at the London Olympics closing ceremony! Their appearance had been rumoured for weeks and photos of the girls rehearsing over the weekend confirmed they'd be among the line-up of celebrated British music acts. Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie Chrisholm (Sporty Spice), Mel B (Scary Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) and Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) arrived in taxis bearing the number plate 'SPICE' and first sang their memorable hit "Wannabe." Then they launched into "Spice Up Your Life" as they rode atop the taxis around the stadium.
Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and the UK's Best Models Strut Their Stuff at Olympics Closing Ceremony
Fashion lovers flocked to their TV screens as some of the UK's — and the world's — best supermodels took centre stage at the London Olympics closing ceremony. Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Lily Cole, Lily Donaldson, Georgia May Jagger, Karen Elson, Stella Tennant, Jourdan Dunn and David Gandy, who were all dressed in iconic British designers, rode into the Olympic Stadium in vehicles featuring their images. When the sheets on the vehicles dropped, the models were revealed and they proceeded to strut into the centre of the Union Jack-shaped stage to the tune of David Bowie's "Fashion." Stay tuned — there's a lot more to come from the closing ceremony!

Of course they continue to read. They continue to read because they are invested readers, hoping against hope that the book improves, or that they are going to put out a new book that not only has a higher level of technical quality, but also interests them. Kind of like how i hated the DC reboot, yet i got about 7 issues of about 10 books & read the first 7 issues of many more before if dropped the lot of them in disinterest. Because i was a committed DC fan. I did the same with the post Dark Reign Avnegers titles too, in the hopes that the quality would increase again. It didn't so i dropped my pull ists for both DC & Marvel.
Except thats about your own personal taste: This is about an objective drop in the technical quality of the product.

- The Millionaire Matchmaker Patti is Furious Thurs 9/8c
Hello to you all, as we welcome you back, to join us in the paradise of Lanai.
One would think that being on this tropical island, surrounded by all its beauty, would be conducive to relaxing and enjoying the celebrations. But things were simmering and feelings were running high with regard to Kim's strange behavior. Her stories didn't tally up with the exasperating tales she had relayed to us. I was beginning to lose patience. After so many months of feeble excuses, it didn't matter to me with whom she arrived or what paltry tale or trivial excuse was made. I didn't want it to ruin our break. And I knew my input would have been irrelevant to her anyway.
Kyle and Mauricio were not content to accept her dismissive behavior and questioned her relentlessly at the dinner table. It was an uncomfortable scenario. I tried to support Kyle and urged her not to cry, as this was the birthday dinner and I knew it had great potential for disaster if tempers were unleashed. At what point do you come to the conclusion that some things never change? We had endured six months of a plethora of excuses, of no shows, of fabricated reasons. It was becoming a joke -- just not a funny one.
I love you on housewives! dealing with an addict is very difficult. the way to go is to just detach, in a loving way. you cannot count on them, or expect them to act in rational, responsible or nurturing ways. they are unnable to do so. i feel very bad for kim's children. it would have been wise to take them away a long long time ago. please do not be so mean to ken!! ur jokes sometimes cross the line :)
Lisa you are THE #1 Housewife! You and Ken are a riot to watch. As for who has the most attractive "arse", I'd bet on yours in any competition with Brandi's Pillsbury Dough Boy butt. :-)
lisa you are hysterical! You and Kyle remind me of me and some of my girlfriends when your scampering around getting into trouble! Who cares if climbing the wall wasn't the best choice, it was the fun choice. Ken is a controlling troublemaker. He shouldve kept his little toy Kim locked up at home if they wanted to be alone. How could she have been attracted to him, he had something kinda creepy about him. I think you and Brandi have amazing chemistry too. It's always fun to find someone who gets a joke or a tease and just teases right back! Stay perfect, your fans would miss you if you changed anything!
I love you, Kyle and Adrienne. I think you're a very level head among some crazy situations. Love ya!
Lisa, You are the epitome of charm and grace - except when you're not. I love and embrace the classic Lisa as equally as the bawdy Lisa. You are a fascinating creature. I also love how Ken, with all his money and power, is content for the most part, to just float along and keep his comments close to his vest. Would love to hear his take on the whole thing someday. Thanks for the blog - all the best!
I love you Lisa! BH is the best by far of all the Housewives shows, I hope you all return for many seasons to come and add Brandi as a full-timer. All of you add something that makes this show #1. It's really nice too see how the rich live, and no matter how much $ you have, you still are humbled by life experiences.
Lisa- love you and your quick wit and sense of humor! You make me laugh out loud, something I truly need to do more often! Thanks for letting us get to know you!
It's ironic that the only reason I watched this show was that I remembered Kim from my childhood and wanted to see how she "turned out." One thing I've learned from this franchise is that you can't fake who you are for more than a season. On season 2, the sweethearts become bitches and in Camille's case, the opposite. I'm no longer interested in the nature of Kim's problem, be it substance related or just plain crazy. My family has a restaurant so I'm fairly jaded about human behavior, but rarely have I seen someone as rude, selfish, and inconsiderate as Kim. And to take a page from Brandi's book, I don't believe that Ken is an enabler. My guess is that he's Kim's supplier. Nothing else about that odd relationship makes sense.
Lisa a few things: 1) You are an amazing woman. 2) I've informed my husband we have to refer to each other as "Dahling" for the rest of our marriage. Of course he agreed. 3) Also, I think it's a great drinking game idea for the home viewer: a shot every time you or Ken say "Dahling".
Lisa -- I sympathize with how frustrating it must have been to endure all of Kim's crazy-making behavior (that affected the entire cast and their families, not just the sisters' relationship), and never, EVER getting a straight answer from her. Was everyone afraid to confront Kim, to call her out on her behavior and obvious lies, either because no one wanted a repeat of last season's finale or the fear that confrontation would drive her further 'underground' (or deeper into whatever addictions & psychological issues she suffers from)?
I love your sense of humor and admire how well you have presented yourself throughout the entire run of the show….which is quite a feat for anyone on one of these 'reality shows'.
You did fail in one respect however …. your 'B&E' and surveillance skills are sorely lacking. You ought to tick that off your 'future career considerations' list, LoL. :)
Looking forward to the Reunion …. and hopefully some ANSWERS regarding Kim!
Lisa- Kim is a grown woman. She isn't stumbling around blind and a hazard to others. Kyle's got to let go. Let Kim's guy deal with this and see what happens. You are the one I want to talk to. I'm turning sixty next month. I don't know exactly how old you are but you're looking so good for your age. Stop with the beach cover ups and the comments about Brandi's great body. She is a stick. I like her but she's no one to admire for a sexy bod. You on the other hand are a curvy, real woman. Flaunt it! Love you.
Lisa, I love your quick wit. The scene with you and Kyle sneaking on to Kim's balcony was great! The banter between you and Kyle was the best part of this episode! Be careful with your willingness to befriend Taylor. You were already burned by Cedric, I'd hate to see you burned a second time. Happy New Year and Best Wishes.
Lisa you are very funny with Brandi and she can take it as well as dish it out, that is the difference in her and the others.
YOU'RE FABULOUS! Having lived in England for several years, I so appreciate your dry wit and "naughty" sense of humor. Equally, I appreciate how you "own" your lifestyle rather than it "owning" you -- you're just so comfortable in your interactions and surroundings without ever acting pretentious. Last, but no less important, I perceive that you're a very giving woman, extending yourself to those who've been in need, such as Cedric and Taylor. It's a shame that some folks have placed too much emphasis on parcing your words when your actions speak so loudly.
Lisa, You are so fair minded and caring. I'm glad you've accepted Brandi for the carefree person she seems to be. You two could have tons of fun together. I took Kim's lack of remorse differently. I thought she just didn't want to talk about her irresponsibility in front of the crowd. I thought she was trying to be discreet. Kyle and Mauricio could have taken her (& Quasi Moto) aside and speak privately. The ongoing table side inquisition by Kyle made it uncomfortable for the entire party. They could have handled things better.
I personally am happy you have befriended Brandi. I was SURE at the beginning of the season that you two would be at odds. Fortunately you are such a class act that you have gotten over your initial impression of her and have seen that she is good natured and almost as silly as you! Adrienne, on the other hand, has shocked me. She is mean and self centered...something we, the viewer, had not seen last season!
Such a shame that a beautiful trip was ruined by those 2 freaks....I hope she gets help BUT I would have a hard time EVER believing her!!! U and Ken are great to watch :) r we going to c the wedding?
Lisa, As always you were enjoyable to watch . I really loved watching you and Brandi play off each others sense of humors .
As for the confrontation at the table with Kim and Kyle , you held your tongue respectfully . A cue Brandi needed to take from you . Not that Brandi was wrong in her thoughts and perception of the issues , just not her place to say .
Why is it Dana feels the need to attack you so often in her blogs ? She needs to hold her tongue as well . So ken called her chubby so what ! You may have got your bottom stuck after climbing over the wall but can she even get her chubby one to climb the wall ?
Look forward to next weeks adventures
Lots of love from Atlanta
Just love everything about you on the show, except for your never ending, undeserving, loyalty to kyle. I have three sisters and I would never dig into them in front of my friends like that. They are not my enemies to fight against. They are my sisters who on some level I love and respect enough to protect. Kim, obviously, has some sort of mental issues she is trying to treat with prescription meds. Her behaviors are very annoying but, understandable given her history. If I could not put up with this behavior I would not have invited her. Kyles who knows her sisters issues the best, that behavior should have been expected and tolerated to some extent. Not Kyle, she never missed a opportunity to nail Kim to the cross. Shame on her.
Kyle needs to seek help for herself. She is on a very destructive mission to destroy her sister and look like the victim. That's why her and Taylor get along so well. Remember how Kyle and Taylor worked together to fight Kim on the last reunion show. If you are not loyal to your sister then you can not be loyal to anyone. She did not defend you when Taylor and Russel were trying to sue you! She was worried that she would be next. She threw Taylor a bone at your "Tea Party", by agreeing you had a large ego! She lashed at Ken in front of you and never apologized for it. She dose not seem to worry about keeping your friendship, does she. And, oddly enough, you suck it up and keep defending her bad behavior. Wake up, KIM is the next Russell and you fools are sitting around being annoyed by her crazy behavior. How self centered and stupid you are all being. Wake up! Don't expect Kyle to see it she to busy being the victim.
I have to say this was one of my favorite episodes. Lisa, you have me laughing out loud and I love that about you - you are funny. The scense is Hawaii with no Taylor and no Kim were the best. I actually forgot all about Taylor until the scene came up with her going to Dana's. There was no drama and a lot of fun - need more espisodes like this!!!
I have to say that minus the drama with Ken and Kim, this was a really fun episode to watch. Love you and Brandi together, this should be fun to watch going forward with you two! I think both Kim and Taylor need to back away from the show.
My heart smiles when I read your blogs!! You are so honest, sincere and funny!! The way you comforted Kyle was amazing, you truly are a great friend Lisa! I know you all must have been tired of the excuses and lies from Kim, did she not remember what she had told Kyle on the phone about the passport? I mean who is that dumb to come up with a new story that Ken was working - oh I know, someone who is on drugs!! It looks like you had fun with Brandi, you two are a hoot to watch together! Love from Boston!
Well your story differs from Kyle's (times/dates) and I tend to believe yours. I also liked your attitude in this episode, I too would have just thrown my hands up in the air in frustration over Kim and Ken, never would have I allowed my husband to berate my sister and her friend at dinner. You're right, who cares why they were late, that is something that could have been sorted out privately between the sisters (on camera of course) not a dinner when you're hosting guests.
yes Brandi's comments were out of line, she has no business making those comments, she doesn't know Kyle or Kim like you do. That said, I too am warming up to her behavior and sense of humor. She seems like she is now your Taylor this year, Kyle doesn't seem to be a fan of the two of you being friends, oh my! Until next time Lady Vanderpump!
You looked so youthful in casual wear. I thought you were adorable in the outfit with the hat. I laughed so hard when you and Kyle were climbing over that balcony to spy on Kim! You were like a more comic version of Charlie's Angels.
There are one too many Kens on the show right now and it is confusing me when I read some of the comments. I think your contract should stipulate that your dreamboat Ken be the one true Ken and no others shall be allowed on the show. You and Ken are the hottest couple and Adrienne and Paul are the funniest.
So good to see you having some fun in this episode! Your right, Brandi has a wicked sense of humor, like yourself, and the dynamic between you two is quite entertaining. It's in sharp contrast to the way your realtionship has been with Kyle as of late. The problem is Kyle is a classic enabler and has engrossed herself in the problems of her sister and Taylor, to the point of obsession. She really needs to go to some Al-anon meeting for help and support in detaching from addicts. You really deserved more from her. You have been an incredibly supportive friend to her. Live and Learn. I adore you Lisa! Susan
Lisa, I love reading your blog....the humurous voice of reason. The situation with Kim is very serious and I think all of you really tried to handle things in the best way possible. I'm keeping Kim in my prayers, she's a good person with a bad disease. If this is handled from an educational perspective, then possibly many viewers out there can benefit from what is learned.
Love you, LOVE your humor and devilish classy ways. You are too much fun, especially with Brandi as your side-kick. Thanks for keeping it real Lisa!
Lisa, I do love you but when someone is trying to enjoy life sometimes things don't go as planned. Kim is one of those girls where nothing seems to go right for her. Kyle seems to think that Kim creates situations to ruin Kyle's life. I myself would get tired of being interrogated every time I was around my sister.
"Fractious," Goodness gracious, I adore you. I consider myself to be fairly equipped to hold my verbage "own," but FRACTIOUS? My GOD Ken is a lucky man, and you too! What a glorious, to be envied couple you are. The dynamic duo; you two need capes! You were spot on with trying to diffuse the situation, that's all you can do. There were no easy answers to be found with Kyle and Mauricio's badgering (is he a housewife?) and Kim's fractious (lol) attitude. We read you loud and clear on the viewing in real time and who you are referring to. Please don't get bogged down in that, it is what it is and all parties are reaping what they sowed. On another note, you and Camille are the class on this show and I truly wish you two would become closer. Lisa, you may still be reeling from the remark she made about the God complex, but give her a break. As you preach, remember she too is living in real time and remember what a horrendous season she came from last year and she was talking with friends, not knowing who was in her corner yet either as she must have been friendly fire dizzy from the season before. She also had the issue of being the only one to call Taylor out at your tea party, in essence, setting up YOUR recovery on the show while taking the "hit" of being held responsible for all of Taylor's danger which was a unforgivable innuendo. Here she came to the defense of you (indirectly but poignantly) at that tea party when Kyle and Adrienne stayed quiet, and the next thing she hears as Taylor is screaming to the world that she put her family in danger, is that you two are now closer than ever. We see that you were just being compassionate as she made a fool of herself begging for your friendship, but Camille didn't see your thought process. Taylor wasn't returning her apologies and she's hearing how tight you two are now as she's being left in accusatory limbo. She must have felt "why did I even say anything in defense of Lisa and the situation at her tea party?" Remember to give a little slack where due, you may need it some day. With Kyle however, you are right in your perusal of intent......good girl.
Lisa, I cannot believe how much Kim and Ken showed their inconsiderate attitude towards all of you on the trip. They REALLY take the cake on being selfish. I loved you getting stuck and moving on past it . It was funny for us to watch, and shows your great sence of humor. I was happy to read (from onr of the producers) that we will be able to see some of Pandora's wedding. It looks like it will be beautiful......can't wait.
Love, Ann
Lisa you said "If you have something to hide, my recommendation when you're asked to sign up for a reality show would be to run for the hills ". So Taylor should have run for the hills. BE CAREFUL WITH HER!
You are by far my favorite housewife. I was wondering, now that you viewed all the footage with us, how do you feel about your friendship with Kyle today?
Lisa, you are a wonderful and loyal friend. Unfortunately, your friendship with Kyle, sadly for you, is not reciprocated. From what I see, Kyle's loyalty is to Taylor, Mauricio and her children – No ONE else! Not even to her own sister. Yes, the viewers all get that Kim has serious problems, but NONE of you show Kim the least amount of love, care or concern, except Adrienne. It's so sad to watch. All last season, as well as during the reunion, it appeared as if Kim was treated as the step-child, the housewife no one wanted to be around, and unfortunately, with no one to step in to defend her. As you now know, life has a way of humbling us all. Maybe your coldness, lack of concern and distance towards both Taylor and Kim last year,(as you've admitted yourself) now puts you in a place of "reality." As the saying goes – you reap what you sow, be careful how you treat one another…
As you said Lisa, you watch what's happening behind your back as the season goes. I'm sure you must have been shocked by the disloyalty of someone you have ALWAYS been extremely loyal to. Can't wait to see how you address this on the reunion, as you're now enlightened...
Lisa, You were giving Kyle EXCELLENT advice. She can't win with this attitude toward her sister. Kim now has Ken to bolster her and give her the strength to take her sister on. Kyle should concentrate on her great husband and enjoy his birthday. All that nonsense could have waited. Better yet, drop it and whatever happens happens. She is not responsible for her sister's behavior, Kim is, and Kim should apologize not Kyle. Kyle needs to spend more time with her hubby and her children. She can't change Kim. Kim needs to hit bottom and she will drag Kyle down with her, if Kyle lets her. You are one wise woman, Lisa. I wish Kyle would take advantage of your experience and good judgment.
Lisa; you're like a breath of fresh air - classy, true, a real friend and so pretty also. Your blog reiterated my thoughts about viewers wondering about your friendships at that point in time, and how betrayed you were by Taylor especially (the conspiracy to hurt you at your tea party). Looking at the 'previews' of the reunion, it looks like once again, Taylor 'skates' on any responsibility she should own about how she treated you & Camille, which was so telling of her personality. I hope you won't consider taking her in, because she will 'take' whatever she can and she is phony through and through. Thanks for reminding all of us what a true friend is, and what honesty and integrity should mean in any relationship. LOVE Giggy! What a beautiful daughter and family you have.
You and Kyle remind me of Lucy and Ethel! I thought the break in was classic and awesome! Thanks for sharing your lives each week!
Love Love Love you!!! Bravo please bring back Lisa V., Kyle R, Camille G. and Brandi back. They make the show worth watching... Love you Lisa you are The Best!!!
You are so great...I love you on the show! You seem like so much fun, and I like the fact that you are warming up to Brandi and acknowledged that you let rumors/misconceptions skew your thoughts on who she is or what she would be like. Your relationship with Ken is adorable and you guys obviously respect each other so much! I hope when I get to be your age (not that you are old or anything) - that I can be as hot as you! Maybe hot is not the best word, beautiful inside and out is more like it! I don't think there are many people out there who watch the show who are NOT your fans!
Lisa, I'll tell you something else that is as nauseating as Kim's behavior, and that's Taylor's! I think it's pretty sad that Taylor expects all her friends to be there for her, and yet she trashed Camille who is going through a very rough time. You should be supporting her, not Taylor! Taylor is such a fake, it really is becoming difficult to watch the show when she's a part of it!
Lisa, you and Brandi make a great couple. I'm so happy to see that you have accepted Brandi as someone you can joke around with. The 2 of you are the comedy relief this show is in need of. Hope your budding friendship with Brandi continue. Hugs and doggie kisses to Giggy and a warm peck on the cheek to the oh so sexy Ken. And best wishes for a great 2012 to you, Lisa.
First, I think Brandi is a hoot. You and Brandi are a comedy routine. I don't understand Kyle being so upset w/ Kim for acting as she always does. There was no anger when she showed up late for Dana's party and berated one of the guests. She protected and helped her. Please don't be helpful in taking down a father of 3 any further than what has been done. It would make more sense that Russell left Taylor after he found out what she had been saying, I can't imagine how that would humiliate someone.
What I love about you Lisa was how you were commenting on Brandi's figure..but not in the catty jealous way. What you don't realize is that you have the best figure out of the whole bunch! and I don't mean "for your age". If I could look like anyone in the cast...it would definitely be you, hands down!
WOW! You are the first HW I have heard acknowledge what we, the fans, are all thinking - when you sign up for a reality show, your personal business is no longer personal! Thank you for that. I get so fed up with some of these women who expect us viewers to watch the shows, buy their products, shower them with love and praise, but mind our own business when it comes to information they may not want made public.
I adore you, and your wicked sense of humor, and I am saddened to hear that you are on the outs now with Adrienne, because she too, is a great lady. You give Kyle some of the most amazing advice, where her sister is concerned, I just wish she would listen. Lastly, as much as I love you and Adrienne, I have to say your husbands, both Ken and Paul, are my favorite house husbands. Please make Bravo give them their own spin-offs!!!

How important is cholesterol ratio?
from Thomas Behrenbeck, M.D., Ph.D.
Calculating your cholesterol ratio can provide useful information about your heart disease risk, but it isn't useful for deciding what treatment you should have to reduce your heart disease risk. Your total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol levels are more useful in guiding treatment than is your cholesterol ratio.
You can calculate your cholesterol ratio by dividing your high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol into your total cholesterol. For example, if your total cholesterol is 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (5.2 millimoles per liter, or mmol/L) and your HDL cholesterol is 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L), your cholesterol ratio is 4-to-1. According to the American Heart Association, the goal is to keep your cholesterol ratio 5-to-1 or lower. An optimum ratio is 3.5-to-1. A higher ratio indicates a higher risk of heart disease; a lower ratio indicates a lower risk.
For treatment purposes, it's important to know absolute numbers for all your cholesterol levels. People with very low HDL levels or very high LDL levels may be at substantial risk. There are effective ways to lower LDL cholesterol that are proven to reduce risk.
