Decided to try out one of APL's steak recipes I found online last night. Made my herb paintbrush with rosemary, thyme and oregano.
Butter baste for the steak
One 16oz ribeye that I picked up at Hirsch's Meat Market in Plano
Made my board sauce
Ended up overcooking the steak to my liking. Whoops
Even though I screwed up the cooking of the steak, it turned out really good. Tons of flavor. Going to have to try it again real soon. And then because Griffin's Grub is turning 2 tomorrow, we celebrated with a little Tres Leches. Yeah, it was store bought, so sue me. I've had a really long, stressful, crappy week and trying to make a cake wasn't gonna happen. Not to mention, what would the two of us do with a whole cake?
Hope everybody has a great weekend and a wonderful Labor Day. I'll be stuck doing wedding stuff for my cousin all weekend, so doubt I will be able to fire up the Egg until Monday.

Market Like A Pro, Think Like A Scientist

Some might say marketing is a science of its own. During a direct marketing presentation at a recent Direct Marketing Association (DMA) conference, one expert claimed we can go a step further by taking a behavioral scientific approach when crafting a direct mail piece, ad, or any form of marketing collateral.

>General Running>most marathoners run 30 miles due to bad vision and uncontrollable swaying
The Logic of Long Distance
A Saucy Wench
I think that it's best to take everything you read in the 'technical forums' with more than just a grain of salt.
I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
Ostrich is good with salt
One day at a time
I got to thinking (albeit not too hard) about this - RunningBehind mentioned it in the 'technical' forums and I didn't think that was the place to pursue it. I realize this is in reference to another nuclear thread that has since been banished to the netheregions of runningahead.
So if we ASSUME that most marathoners run 30 miles due to bad vision and uncontrollable swaying, is there a problem with this? I mean yes, we're not actually running the 26.2 miles, but its not like we're going to tank and crash because of a magic extra 4 miles on race day. By this logic, it would mean that our "20 miles training runs" were probably actually 23 miles or so. Therefore proportionally, even if we do run the equivalent of 30 miles it doesn't matter because we're trained for it.
just a non-thought.
I'm still trying to master walking 9.0mph on the treadmill but I inevitably end up running. If I think like the ostrich, want to be an ostrich, and emulate the ostrich, maybe i'll be able to do this... someday... someday...
So if I'm in a race and stuck behind someone, but veering around them would increase my 'shortest distance to finish line', I'm better to stay behind them because it's shorter, more effiecient and therefore I will finish in less time.
Running is stupid
7/20/17 #247 Comeback #19 ... 10/8 - Glacial Trail 50M
In an infinite universe, the one thing sentient life cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion
yes, unless their hips are doing an uncontrollable swaying, in which case you may end up hypnotized.
that explains my pants, then!

BAYTOWN, Texas - Police are searching for a man wanted in connection with a triple shooting in Baytown that left one man dead.
Cameron Gold, 37, has been charged with murder. He has been accused of killing Robert Arceneaux.
According to witnesses, Gold walked up to a crowd of men sitting outside an apartment building in the 1000 block of North Main Street Saturday and began shooting.
Three of the men were shot. Arceneaux died at a Baytown hospital. The other two men were flown to Memorial Hermann in Houston.
The shooting may have been in retaliation of a fight that sent a man to the hospital unconscious after he was beaten with a baseball bat, investigators said.
Investigators said they believe Gold is driving a beige 2000 Saturn with the Texas license plate No. NJK928. He should be considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information regarding Gold's whereabouts is asked to call Baytown Crime Stoppers at 281-427-TIPS.

Chelsea [2] manager Jose Mourinho [3] has been charged by the Football Association [4] for improper conduct during the 4-1 win over Cardiff City on Saturday.
The Portuguese coach was sent to the stands after berating referee Anthony Taylor for warning Branislav Ivanovic over time-wasting. Mourinho was forced to watch the remaining 20 minutes from the East Stand amongst Chelsea fans but may now face a touchline ban following the FA's statement. It read: "Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been charged with improper conduct in relation to his behaviour during his side's game against Cardiff City on Saturday 19 October 2013."Mourinho has until 24 October at 6pm to respond to the charge."Assistant manager Steve Holland fielded questions in the post-match press conference and attempted to explain Mourinho's actions. Speaking to reporters Holland said: "Jose is very frustrated and it stems from the time-wasting from the opposition from basically the first two or three minutes of the game. We mentioned it to the fourth official in a professional way on countless occasions."The referee didn't appear to do anything about it but when we had a throw-in, Ivanovic had the ball in his hands for two seconds, and the referee was about getting the ball back into play and pointing at his watch. "So it was a case of huge frustration with that. And to be sent off for that was very harsh."

TROWBRIDGE teenager Abi Davies plans to continue fundraising throughout the year after missing out on the chance to compete at tomorrow's British Bobsleigh Championships.
The 18-year-old, a student at Southampton Solent University, fell short in her efforts to raise the money necessary to experience her first taste of competitive action in Igls, Austria, and has already turned her attentions to ensuring she isn't left out in the cold again next season.
"Unfortunately, between myself and my brakewoman Elly (Donaldson), we couldn't raise enough for us to go out there," said Davies.
"My uni offered to help pay for my flights but we didn't have enough for the cost of the sled, which is a shame.
"There aren't going to be any more competitions this season after this but hopefully there'll be a few training days over the summer. I think that I'm going to carry on fundraising throughout the year and try to make sure that I get there next year."
Despite not being able to compete in Igls, Davies had been handed a boost after receiving a £1000 bursary from SportsAid in a scheme designed to support potential future Winter Olympians.
Fellow bobsleigh hopeful Anna Alexander-Holmes, from Holt, has also received funding from SportsAid and the 19-year-old, who studies at the University of Bath, is set to hit the ice in Igls with brakewoman Anya Kay.
- STEVE Cook, of butchers Water Rose & Son, who have shops in Trowbridge and Devizes, is set to experience the twists and turns of a bobsleigh track this week.
Cook, whose firm sponsored Trowbridge Olympians John Jackson and Paula Walker, will sit behind Jackson in a sled in Austria this weekend.

NEW YORK -- Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ), the PC maker, topped analysts' quarterly revenue and earnings estimates and delivered a better-than-expected outlook on Thursday. HP reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of $28.4 billion, down from $30 billion a year earlier but above Wall Street forecasts of $27.79 billion. Excluding items, HP earned 82 cents a share, down from 92 cents but well above the consensus estimate of 71 cents. Earnings also surpassed HP's forecast of 68 cents to 71 cents a share. Profit was "driven by improved execution, improvement in our channel and go-to-market efforts and the impact of the restructuring program we announced in May 2012," CEO Meg Whitman said in a statement on Thursday. "While there's still a lot of work to do to generate the kind of growth we want to see, our turnaround is starting to gain traction as a result of the actions we took in 2012 to lay the foundation for HP's future." For the second quarter, HP expects earnings, excluding items, of 80 cents to 82 cents a share. Analysts were looking for earnings of 77 cents. HP predicts full-year earnings of $3.40 to $3.60 a share, well above Wall Street's estimate of $3.32. HP's Earnings Surprise Wall Street; Shares Surge
Abercrombie & Fitch ( ANF) is expected by analysts Friday to post fourth-quarter earnings of $1.96 a share on revenue of $1.49 billion.
KKR & Co. ( KKR) submitted an offer of $75 a share for industrial machinery maker Gardner Denver ( GDI), Reuters reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. The offer puts KKR in place to buy Gardner Denver, after sources told Reuters that other private-equity bidders have dropped out of the bidding process. Gardner Denver shares closed Thursday at $67.47. Cramer: Beware Too Much M&A Frenzy
Charter Communications ( CHTR) is forecast Friday to post a fourth-quarter loss of.28 cents a share on revenue of $1.91 billion, up 4% from a year earlier.
United Airlines ( UAL) said Thursday it was taking the grounded Boeing ( BA) 787 Dreamliner out of its flight plans through June 5, and postponed its new Denver-to-Tokyo flights. Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused a battery fire in one plane and forced the emergency landing of another plane last month. Boeing's 787s have been grounded since Jan. 16.

A promise of distinctive Journeys in Indochina
Set in some of the most unique destinations in Indochina, Victoria Hotels & Resorts is a rare collection of boutique properties embracing French colonial styles and local characteristics. From the pristine mountains of Sapa to the historic Hoi An Ancient Town, from the coastline backed by desert-like sand dunes in Phan Thiet to the exotic floating markets of the Mekong Delta, to finish your Journey in one of Asia's most beautiful and peaceful towns, Luang Prabang.
Each property offers genuine hospitality and a lively energy that are trademarks of the real Indochina.
You won't find Victoria hotels in big, noisy cities, that's not our style. We have carefully sought out Indochina's real heartlands and our properties reflect all that is fascinating and rewarding about those special places.
Features of the hotels & resorts include unique transportation options – the Victoria Express Train that links Hanoi to Lao Cai, Sapa and a fleet of Victoria Cruises to explore the Mekong River.
Our Gateway to Indochina include
In Vietnam
Sapa is a very special place.
The small town itself was built up under French colonial administration as a cool hill station providing respite from the heat and humidity of the lowlands. As the town has matured however, it has become the focal point and meeting place for the many tribal people who live in the surrounding mountains, often following a way of life unchanged in centuries.
Guests arrive aboard the romantic and elegant Victoria Express Train, a unique travel experience starting from Hanoi.
Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa
The Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa is a little gem, bursting with personality and local flavour.
The architecture of the Resort reflects the charm and the culture of her surroundings. Built with Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese and of course Vietnamese influences, the Resort is eclectic and perhaps a little eccentric. Add to that the European style of management and the quintessentially Hoi An sense of hospitality and you will see why guests come back again and again.
Victoria Phan Thiet Beach Resort & Spa
The Victoria Phan Thiet Beach Resort & Spa is everything that the other hotels in the area are not. It is secluded, peaceful, elegant and welcoming. It's a resort where the needs and wishes of the guest have been put first.
Simple touches like free sunscreen at the pool, a top-notch kids club that caters for kids of all ages, and a "butler" service to take care of everything guests need.
On the banks of one of the world's greatest and most mysterious waters in Vietnam's 'Deep South', Victoria Can Tho Resort is considered as the flagship of Victoria Hotels & Resorts in the Mekong Delta -- and first luxury hotel in the region. Amid bustling floating markets, myriad of canals and vibrant green rice paddies, the splendid colonial-style hotel is set in magnificent gardens on the banks of the Hau River. To experience the pulse of delta life, sunrise and sunset cruises to the local floating market aboard the resort's private traditional sampan, the Mekong Princess, is the highlight.
The Victoria Chau Doc is one of the jewels of the Mekong and is the Queen of the town. Since she opened, the Hotel has stood as a landmark of the town and a beacon of civilisation on the journey between Cambodia and the Delta.
The Victoria Chau Doc was built with the future of Mekong tourism in mind, a time when elegant cruisers would slowly ply the route from Phnom Penh to Chau Doc and beyond.
Set in the scenic beauty of nature and cultural richness of the Mekong Delta region, built on the hillside of Sam Mountain, Victoria Nui Sam Lodge offers guests insights into the countryside life. A magnificent location with a breathtaking 180o view is ideal to spend quality time and re-connect with nature.
Close to the Cambodian border, it is the perfect en-route stop for discerning travelers looking for more than just a glimpse of the Mekong Delta. Khmer, Cham and Vietnamese communities live side by side in a stunning landscape, including Tra Su otherworldly bird sanctuary.
In Laos
Located in the heart of Luang Prabang, surrounded by the golden spires of the town's famous Buddhist temples is Victoria Xiengthong Palace, the last residence of the Laos Royal Family. This beautiful boutique property has been lovingly restored to its former glory, and once more sits proudly on the banks of the Mekong River. The 26 elegantly appointed rooms and suites capture the essence of Laos' unique culture and style, with local materials and fabrics used throughout. Look out upon the majestic Wat Xiengthong – the town's most famous temple, or simply sit back and soak up the ambience of this UNESCO protected palace, the perfect place to discover the wonder and charm of Luang Prabang – the Jewel of Indochina.
Experience the Mekong Delta at river level on a traditional sampan for a unique insight into the Mekong people's life. Houses are built on stilts to withstand the oods, ferries carry people and vehicles between banks, boats ply their fares on the watery highway and children spend all their free time splashing about. The sheer variety in color and products promises spectacular photos and memories of a lifetime.
Discreet and attentive, our crew takes care of your every needs as you travel along the river.
Victoria Hotels & Resorts is also a member of TMG (Thien Minh Group) - one of the largest privately owned travel and hospotality groups. Thien Minh Group invests in three integrated lines of business:
- Tour Operations comprises Buffalo Tours, Cho Lon Tours, Intrepid Indochina and Asia Outdoors

As Spain's capital and custodian of its rich and varied heritage, book a flight to Madrid with Qatar Airways and immerse yourself in its cultural treasures. You can't beat Madrid for green open spaces either, and the cheap and clean Metro system will get you to anywhere you need to be in next to no time. Fly to Madrid and enjoy some of Europe's great cultural treats, from museums and galleries to parks and palaces.
The great thing about a trip to Madrid is that many of its best attractions are within walking distance of each other. The Museo del Prado, Reina Sofia National Museum and Art Centre and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Art are in the 'museum triangle' along the Paseo del Prado. Also next to these is the great El Retiro Park, with gardens, restaurants and fountains.
A trip to Madrid can also take in the Botanical Gardens, a host of other fine museums and the spectacular Plaza Mayor, the city's main plaza. Don't forget to visit the splendid royal palace or Palacio Real either.
There are plenty of cultural shows, events and festivals to enjoy as well during a trip to Madrid. The Corral de la Moreria is the world's premier flamenco venue, quintessentially Spanish and in the heart of the city. Fans of classical music are also spoilt for choice, with the Teatro Real the main opera venue and more traditional Spanish operetta on show at the Teatro de la Zarzuela.
Madrid is the birthplace of bullfighting, and during May you can visit the historic arena, Las Ventas Tour. If you prefer not to witness the fights themselves then you can simply enjoy the building and its place in the life of Madrid instead.
You'll find all popular Spanish cuisine in Madrid, with many lamb dishes on offer along with a great deal of seafood. The La Latina quarter is the most exciting and atmospheric to visit for eating. This is just south of the Plaza Mayor and you can even take a gastronomic tour of it.
Madrid is home to the world's oldest restaurant that is still operating today. It was opened in 1725 and serves an eclectic mix of Spanish and international cuisine. You may bump into film stars and members of the Royal Family at some of the more exclusive restaurants. If you love seafood then make sure you try the giant scarlet shrimp known as carabineros.
If you intend to travel to Madrid for some shopping you've come to the right place. Madrid is awash with all manner of shopping outlets. The best place to start is the Sol-Salamanca district around Calle de Preciados. Here you'll find all the top designer names and specialist Spanish designers.
For a more avant-garde experience visit the Chueca area, full of quaint old shops, restaurants and cafés. For traditional leather goods head for the Calle Toledo, which is just to the south of the Plaza Mayor.
Flights to Madrid land at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport, 13km from the centre. Hop straight onto the Metro to reach your destination.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Madrid please check the visa and passport requirements.

Cycling star Andy Schleck is confident Lance Armstrong is telling the truth about his drug-free comeback - because he was able to beat the Texan.
The US Anti-Doping Agency said Armstrong's test samples in the 2009-10 Tours de France strongly suggest evidence of doping.
But one of the features of Armstrong's televised confessional was an adamant denial that he doped at all during his comeback.
After retiring in 2005, Armstrong started his high-profile professional cycling comeback at the 2009 Tour Down Under in Adelaide.
He went on to finish third that year at the Tour de France behind winner Alberto Contador of Spain, with Schleck the runner-up.
Armstrong was not a contender at the 2010 Tour de France and retired for good after the 2011 Adelaide race.
Schleck said he did not defend Armstrong for his doping but also believes him about the comeback being clean.
"He made his comeback and he was beaten in the first year by Alberto and me," the Luxembourg rider said of the 2009 Tour de France.
"So in my eyes, I was clean, I know I was always a clean rider and I keep on riding clean.
"So why should he be doped and be behind me?
"I believe in his comeback that he was clean."
Tour Down Under race director Mike Turtur said he could not comment on whether Armstrong rode clean during his three visits to the Australian race.
"I can't say, because I don't know," Turtur said.
"I can't answer a question that is based on speculation - I don't know.
"It's hard to answer that sort of question."
The Adelaide Tour paid Armstrong millions of dollars to race there in 2009-11.
Schleck, defending Tour Down Under champion Simon Gerrans and Belgian world road champion Philippe Gilbert all defended the current generation of riders.
"We're just looking ... to start the season and to finally speak about sport," Gilbert said.
"This is part of the story of cycling, of course, but this is the past and we just want to see something different now."
Gerrans turned pro in 2005 - the year Armstrong won his last Tour de France.
"I've never been exposed to doping in any of the teams I've been involved with, I've never doped," Gerrans said of the sport now.
"In saying that, the fight against doping is an ongoing battle, I don't think the sport will ever be 100 per cent clean.
"I don't think any professional sport will be 100 per cent clean because people cheat - that's human nature."
Indeed, Schleck's brother Frank is currently fighting a doping charge.
Andy Schleck also "won" the 2010 Tour de France retrospectively after Contador lost a long fight against his controversial doping case.

HOUSTON - Former President George H.W. Bush may be getting out of the hospital soon.
Bush family spokesman Jim McGrath said the doctors feel confident the 41st president will be released from the hospital sometime this week. McGrath said the former president, who is 88, has remained upbeat despite many ups and downs over the past several weeks.
President Bush was hospitalized in late November for a nagging cough caused by bronchitis. After overcoming one setback after another, including a stubborn fever and a six-day stay in the ICU, the president's doctors remain hopeful.
"We're still taking everything one day at a time," said McGrath. "His energy fluctuates day to day, but his family and a constant stream of visitors has kept his spirits up."
With his wife, former first lady Barbara Bush by his side, the former president has been passing the time by watching lots of Texas football, including the Cotton Bowl and the Houston Texans. He is said to be reading John Meacham's newly released biography on Thomas Jefferson, and continues to engage in banter with the hospital staff.
The Bush family said they're extraordinary thankful for all the well wishes and support they've received from around Houston and across the country.

Seven SportsmenLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Seven sportsmen are standing in a row. Each sportsman has a different 1-digit number. The product of the first three, the product of the middle three, and the product of the last three are all equal.
What's the middle sportsman's number?
HintFigure out what the numbers are, and then eliminate the impossibilities.
AnswerLet their numbers be a through g, we have abc=cde=efg.
5 or 7 cannot occur, because they are prime and no other 1-digit number contains them. Therefore, the numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9.
Since abc=efg, abcdefg/d is a perfect square. 1*2*3*4*6*8*9=2^7*3^4, and d can be only 2 or 8.
If d=2, the numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 can be made into 1*8*9=3*4*6=72, and we can have c=9, e=4: 9*2*4=72.
If d=8, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 can be made into 1*4*9=2*3*6=36, but 36 is not divisible by 8.
Therefore, the middle sportsman's number is 2.

In October 2010, Jones returned to the Broadway stage in Alfred Uhry's Driving Miss Daisy along with Vanessa Redgrave at the Golden Theatre. In November 2011, Jones starred in Driving Miss Daisy in London's West End, and on November 12 Jones received his honorary Oscar in front of the audience at the Wyndham's Theatre, which was presented to him by Ben Kingsley.

Fruit Snacks: Are They Healthy?by Toby Amidor in Is It Healthy?, August 28, 2012
My three kids go gaga over fruit snacks—and they're not the only ones. You can find them at the movies (in the kids snack pack), in birthday party goodie bags and in school snack or lunch bags. But are these chewy goodies good for our kiddos or just too good to be true?
Fruit snacks run around 80-90 calories per small pouch—which is a reasonable amount of calories for a kids' snack. They're free of fat, cholesterol and are very low in sodium. Many also provide vitamins A and C.
S-U-G-A-R….these sticky fruit snacks have around 5 teaspoons of added sugar per pouch. Many also contain small amounts of partially hydrogenated oils—another name for artery-clogging trans-fat! There's also no protein, healthy fat or fiber to make it a satisfying snack—meaning, your little ones will be hungry soon after munching a pack (or two).
If you read the ingredient lists, many fruit snacks are made from food coloring and dyes – including yellow 40, red 5, and blue 1, which has been linked to behavioral problems and hyperactivity in children.
Last year, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) filed a complaint against General Mills for deceptive marketing practices for their Fruit by the Foot, Fruit Roll Ups and other such products. CSPI specifically claims that the claims "naturally flavored," "good source of vitamin C "and" low fat" portrays a message that this is a healthy snack when it actually contains high amounts of sugar, not many nutrients, partially hydrogenated oils, and possibly harmful food dyes.
In August 2012, CSPI also threatened Welches with a lawsuit unless they stop making health claims on their products including fruit snacks. Claims on fruit snacks include that they're made from "real fruit," but in reality these snacks are mostly made from fruit juice concentrates.
The Verdict: If you're looking to give your kids a well-balanced snack with plenty of vitamins A and C, choose REAL fruit instead (you'll also get fiber and potassium). Most fruit snacks are nothing more than sugar and dyes—it's right there in the ingredient list. If you're looking to give your kiddos a healthy fruit snack, you can easily make your own using 5 ingredients.
TELL US: What's your take on fruit snacks?

Soundscape: A thunderstorm in Bissauaudio, soundscapes posted by listentoafrica on Nov 2nd, 2009
A thunderstorm in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau's slightly surreal capital city. The thunderstorm started quite suddenly but went on for two hours – and the rain has only just stopped, seven hours after it started. We left the sound recorder running under an awning in the courtyard of our hotel while we sheltered in our room drinking tea and coffee (it's a hard life, this sound recording).

When President Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai announced Jan. 11 that a negotiating office for the Taliban was about to open in the Persian Gulf emirate of Qatar, optimism soared within the administration that peace talks would soon be back on track.
But January's optimism has become February's reality check: There is still no agreement to open the office, and Karzai, back in Kabul after his Washington visit, says there will be no deal until Qatar meets his conditions in writing…
But Karzai himself is the biggest cause of U.S. teeth-gnashing, and not for the first time, according to several administration officials who agreed to discuss the rocky road to withdrawal on the condition of anonymity because of its sensitivity.
The crux of the latest disagreement is Karzai's demand that Qatar produce a written memorandum of understanding agreeing to his preconditions for the Taliban office in Doha, the Qatari capital. The demands include assurances that the office would not be used for any "political purpose" other than direct negotiations with Afghanistan, that it have a fixed time frame and be closed if talks do not take place, and that all Taliban negotiators provide "documentation" proving they are legitimate representatives.

The tarts might not look particularly pretty, but they are certainly full of flavour! I picked up a couple of kilos of gorgeously blush tomatoes and a big bunch of fragrant basil from the markets this morning and my whole kitchen smelled like summer when I was making these tarts! I love celebrating seasons with fresh produce and these tarts truly embrace the taste of summer!
Provencal tarts
(makes 4)
100g rolled oats
40g puffed brown rice
160g wholegrain spelt flour
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
pinch of salt
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons water
1kg ripe tomatoes (peeled, seeded and chopped)
1 large red capsicum, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 brown onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
big handful (about 1 cup) fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and add the onion. Cook for a few minutes, then add the garlic, capsicum, tomatoes and basil. Let simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the mixture has cooked down. Stir in a tablespoon of sherry vinegar and leave to cool.
2. Place the rolled oats and puffed brown rice in a food processor and grind into a coarse mixture. Combine the mixture with spelt flour, dried rosemary and a pinch of salt. Add olive oil and water and lightly knead the dough until it comes together. Divide the dough into 4 portions and spread evenly in greased tart pans (12cm each). Refrigerate the crusts for 10-15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 180C. Bake the bases for 15 minutes, then fill each base with the tomato mixture. Continue to bake for a further 5 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Estella Bikini
Someone wore this swimsuit at the fourth of July BBQ I went to and it was so cute. The bikini ties at the side and features three crystal studded starfish.
This is by far my favorite swimsuit. It is a mixture of metallic silver and animal print. I LOVE it.
A yellow bikini with purple flowers on it. A great color combination!
I guess I want a pink and green swimsuit? This one is so cute. I love the mismatched look.
I LOVE this silver bikini. It is so hot. I'll def be needing the Wii fitness before I buy it however.

I love the white ties on the bottom of this swimsuit. VERY CUTE!Added 9 Years Ago from Couture Candy
A swimsuit that is white and has berry branches all over it. It is adorable.

I like the color of this bikini and the tie on it is really unique also. It criss crosses at the neck.
A simple black swimsuit is always a good way to go. That way you can mix and match with tops and bottoms that you already have.

The 2013 External Debt Statistics: Guide for Compilers and Users (2013 EDS Guide), which elaborates on the global standards for the compilation, measurement, reporting and analytical uses of external debt statistics, has been released by the nine organizations of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Finance Statistics (TFFS) of which UNCTAD is a member.
The UNCTAD Debt Management and Financial Analysis System (DMFAS) Programme has revamped its website. The new DMFAS portal, which contains new and updated features, was launched today at the 9th DMFAS Advisory Group Meeting.
Many of the world's poorer countries have improved their debt balances in recent years, but "this positive trend is now sputtering," UNCTAD Secretary-General Mukhisa Kituyi told a debt-management conference this morning.

The federal government has deferred a decision on Whitehaven Coal's controversial Maules Creek mine in the NSW Gunnedah Basin, until the end of April.
The proposed open cut mine, one of three coal projects within the Leard State Forest, was approved after a two year process by the NSW Government last August but awaits federal approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. A decision on expansion of its adjacent Boggabri mine, a joint venture with Japan's Idemitsu, was also deferred.
A statement on the reasons for the deferral is expected shortly.
Maules Creek is a key growth project for Whitehaven, whose shares dropped nearly 6 per cent to close at $3.02.
"We are extremely disappointed at this further delay to this important project," said Whitehaven's managing director Tony Haggarty.
''We have spent many months working with [the federal environment department] and Minister Burke's office to promptly and thoroughly address any questions they have had in relation to the project, as well as providing full details of the benefits to the region," Mr Haggarty said.
"Whitehaven is not aware of any substantive issues with the environmental evaluations or process which has been followed," he said.
The Maules Creek project assumed national significance in January when Front Line Action on Coal activist Jonathan Moylan, who was camped in the Leard forest in protest, issued a fake press release from ANZ purporting to withdraw finance from the project.
Mr Moylan's hoax temporarily wiped $314 million from the market capitalisation of Whitehaven and he is now under investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and could face jail.
Shares in Whitehaven have now fallen 14 per cent this year, after a substantial earnings downgrade for 2012-13. It has now wiped off much of the gains it achieved when speculation arose that Chinese miner Shenhua could be interested in mounting a takeover bid for the company, or could acquire the 19.4 per cent stake held by the largest shareholder Nathan Tinkler.
At today's prices Mr Tinkler's stake is worth $598 million. As Fairfax Media reported last December, Mr Tinkler is believed to have total debts to hedge fund Farallon Capital, including principal and interest, of about $700 million.
A statement from the federal environment department said the decision on both projects was deferred to "seek clarification on potential impacts to matters of national environmental significance".
"Given that the Maules Creek and Boggabri projects are proposed to be located very close together, it is appropriate that their respective impacts are assessed in parallel, to look at their cumulative impacts as a whole, and to ensure they deliver long-term environmental sustainability for the region," the statement said.
PhillipsCapital analyst Lawrence Grech said the deferral was "disappointing" and it was unclear whether the hold-up was for "substantive reasons that may threaten approval or whether it is merely procedural issues".
"While we hope that the government is not just reacting to protests over the methodical and inclusive approvals process encompassing multiple stakeholders – it may be that investment certainty may be enhanced with a change of federal government after the September 2013 elections," Mr Grech said.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The FBI is blocking the Orlando medical examiner from releasing the autopsy results for the friend of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect, according to a report.
USA Today reports the autopsy for Ibragim Todashev was completed on July 8. However, the FBI has told the medical examiner not to release any information because the case is still an active investigation.
FBI agents shot and killed the 27-year-old Chechen native in Orlando on May 22 while questioning him about his link to Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Agents were also investigating Todashev's link to a triple murder in Massachusetts in 2011.
Authorities claimed Todashev, who is trained in mixed martial arts, became angry and attacked the FBI agents.
Todashev's father claims his son was shot six times, including once in the back of the head. His father says agents killed his son "execution style."
The Florida chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations has demanded an independent investigation into the shooting.

Could you easily live without some of the daily, modern-day necessities? Say, go camping with no electricity or running water, or leaving your phone home for the day. Do you get anxious, uncomfortable and irritated or do you take the opportunity to enjoy a break from it all?
I am, of course, talking about my oven. The oven that suddenly, on the night of the Friday 13th, broke down. Thankfully the stove top is still working, but not being able to bake for a whole week has certainly tested my patience. I was able to get the oven going again so that I could roast some veggies, but it wouldn't cope with any baking. The bad news is that this is most likely going to continue for another week! Thus, I will have to come up with alternative recipes. This frying pan bread is one of them and served with roasted capsicum and pumpkin spread it is the best comfort food until I get my oven back.
Skillet pan bread with roasted capsicum and pumpkin spread
(makes 6 small breads)
::Roasted capsicum and pumpkin spread::
1 red capsicum/pepper
300g pumpkin (kabocha), peeled and cubed
8 tablespoons (or about 1/2 cup) sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon pumpkin seed oil
a good pinch of salt
freshly ground black pepper
juice of 1/2 lime (or lemon)
::Frying pan bread::
1/2 litre brown rice milk
280g buckwheat flour*
240g besan flour
70g brown rice flour
70g potato starch
a good pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon treacle (dark syrup)
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
buckwheat flour, extra, for baking**
Notes to the recipe
* I made my own buckwheat flour simply by pulverising raw buckwheat in a food processor. It's ok if the flour is not completely smooth, slight grittiness works well for this recipe.
** You could add sesame seeds or poppy seeds in the dough or on top of the bread when frying. There is no need to use any oil in this recipe.
*** Be patient when frying the breads. The dough is very sticky, but a sticky dough results in softer bread so try to avoid incorporating too much extra flour. Although perhaps not convenient, switching the gas off (or removing the pan off the heat) whilst spreading the next portion on the pan makes it easier to handle.
1. Roast the capsicum in a very hot oven or on a gas flame until blackened. Peel of the skin and remove the seeds. Set aside.
2. Place the peeled and cubed pumpkin in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and let simmer until soft. Drain and set aside.
3. Place the capsicum and the pumpkin in a food processor. Add the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seed oil, salt, pepper and lime juice and puree until chunky. Set aside.
4. Mix all the bread ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. To make the first bread, using flour-dusted fingers, gently spread a big dollop (or divide the dough into 6 equal portions) of dough onto a small (19cm) frying pan. Try to be gentle and use the tips of your fingers to push the dough evenly onto the pan. Turn on the heat and dry-fry for 2-3 minutes. Flip the bread over and continue to fry on the other side until golden and firm to touch. Continue with the rest of the dough. Cover the breads with a clean tea towel until ready to serve. ***
5. Serve the bread warm with the roasted capsicum and pumpkin spread.

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Pour into two heavilly greased and floured 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans or various shaped pans I prefer to use disposable ones, they freeze better and much easier, and lightly spray with oil first. I also line my pans with parchment paper on the bottom of christmas trees or non disposable loaf pans, so to ensure easy removal. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. These freeze nicely!

"Sit over here next to Johnathan (Bench)...sit right here, he's smart."--Sparky Anderson
I've heard through the grapevine he's on Dayton's DL with some type of injury to his elbow.
Loo did have an elbow injury earlier this year, so that sounds plausible, but would they really start him out in Dayton?
I think I would have started him there. He had hit so well in a wood bat league already and seemed pretty advanced for his level (just a guess though).Originally Posted by dougdirt
Aves, I agree that is where I would have started him, but the fact that they put Stubbs in Billings makes me wonder about that. He may have played with aluminum, but he played in a Big baseball conference in college against some of the best competition around....
That's true, but I also remember reading in a prestigious baseball magazine that he hit a "soft" .307 in a wood-bat summer league. They might have felt that it was more important for him to learn to hit the wood in a lower level, where as Loo can handle the stick better than Stubbs.Originally Posted by dougdirt
Read that also...makes my head hurt that we drafted a guy in the top 10 who we have to teach to hit out of college.....
Milton Loo is with the GCL team, but is on the DL with the elbow problem still.
Milton Loo played his first professional game today, going 0-3 with 1 HBP for the GCL Reds.
Wonder why Gruler was pulled after 1 1/3 innings. With Gruler's history, I'll assume it's not good.
Gruler has not been going long in games, probably working on building up arm strength still...
Yeah, you're right he hasn't been logging that many innings, but if I recall he did go 5 innings in his last start.
I was wondering the same thing with Gruler. Why would they pull him with 2 outs in the second inning when he seemed to be pitching alright.
I assume he's on a STRICT pitch count. When he throws that 75th pitch (or whatever the number is) he comes out, no matter what the situation. Sometimes it'll be the end of the 6th, and sometimes in the middle of his eighth batter. You never know.Originally Posted by kheidg-

New Books in the Library
The Dubois Library has recently added these new titles to our collection:
Photography Changes Everything, by Marvin Heiferman (New York: Aperture Foundation, co-published with the Smithsonian Institution, 2012)
Based on the Smithsonian Photography Initiative's online project, this book explores the power and impact of photography on all facets of our society and culture, from magazines and space, to relationships and social memory. Organized into sections such as Where We Go and What We Remember, the book includes short essays written by a vast array of people, such as archaelologists, museum curators, photographic experts, and even Hugh Hefner and Candice Bergen. Essay topics include "Photography Changes How Wars are Fought," " Photography Changes What Tourists Expect to See," "Photography Changes What We Can See In the Universe," and "Photography Changes Our Sense of Financial Security."
Chris McCaw: Sunburn (Virginia: Candela Books, 2012)
What began as an accident on a camping trip has emerged into a series of 43 images that explore and challenge traditional ideas about landscape photography. McCaw's book contemplates serendipity and chance, as well as photographic experimentation and destruction. As Katherine Ware notes in the book's essay, "McCaw's elemental combination of sun, silver, glass, and paper evokes the wonderment of photography as a marker for the astounding universe we inhabit."
100 Ideas That Changed Photography, by Mary Warner Marien (London: Laurence King Publishing, Ltd., 2012)
In the introduction, the author acknowledges that this book is in no way meant to be seen as an encylopedic record of every idea to influence the medium and practice of photography. Rather, she see this as a sort of sampler, a gateway into some of the most profound and wide-reaching ideas and concepts that have changed how photographers take pictures and how the world views those images. Some of the ideas include Direct Positive Images, Macro/Micro, Cut-and-Paste, the Snapshot Aesthetic, Appropriation, and GIS.
Berenice Abbott: Documenting Science (Steidl: 2012)
In addition to her well-known project from the 1930's, "Changing New York," Abbot also produced photographs documenting science and technology subjects. These scientific photographs included Abbott's own experiments with photographic technology, as well as her commercial assignments, and the illustration of science textbooks at MIT. Working directly with scientists and physicists, Abbott was determined to use photography as "the friendly interpreter of science," and this book includes more than 90 plates of evidence of her success.

We are working on some parts with the following customer specification: Black hardcoat anodize (Type III, class 2) to match #37038 (FED-STD-595), followed by a Class 3 chromate conversion coating over which we are to apply a primer and black paint to #37038. Can the black color to #37038 really be controlled as a dyed anodic coating? Where can I find a supplier for that? J.L.
Any anodizer in your area who does Type III (hardcoat) anodizing should be able to help you with this. The specification you mention sounds inaccurate though. The chromate conversion coating (MIL-C-5541) applied over the anodic coating is of no help to the adhesion of the organic coating. The conversion coat, when applied over bare aluminum chemically reacts with the aluminum to form a tight bond to which the paint will adhere. There is no chemical bond formed when the conversion coating is applied over the anodized finish. The anodic coating itself is an excellent paint base if it is sealed in hot (210–212°F) deionized water that has no additives having surfactants. In other words, just pure, buffered (for pH control) DI water. Surfactants are "wetting agents" and can be detrimental to the bonding of organic coatings to anodized aluminum.
It also occurs to me that Class 3 chromate conversion coatings are generally used where good electrical conductivity is required on the aluminum part. Class 1a, a heavier film, is used as a paint base. It might be wise to review the finishing specification with your customer to make sure it is the best possible.
There are several black dyes available for aluminum. I don't know if any of them match the particular Federal Standard Color called out. Your local anodizer can help you with that.

In 2008 the Yukon River Survey team discovered an iconic paddle wheeler, lost in 1901, in 40 feet (12 meters) of water on Lake Laberge. This small steamboat, the A.J. Goddard, is the sole remaining example of small stern-wheelers that were carried in pieces over mountain passes from Skagway, Alaska, to ferry men, supplies, and scows in the headwaters of the Yukon River. Prefabricated in San Francisco and Seattle, the A.J. Goddard was assembled on the shores of Lake Bennett during the winter of 1897-98. It foundered in a fall storm in 1901, sinking at the north end of Lake Laberge and killing three men.
It took more than two decades of searching by local diver Doug Davidge to find the ship, but in 2008 he and an INA team pinpointed a promising target. Davidge and Pollack returned in June 2009—just 48 hours after the ice disappeared from the site—to make the first dives ever on this wreck. They found an intact 49.9-foot (15.2-meter) vessel lying upright in 37° F (2.8° C) water.
The team, which includes expert archaeologists, a bush-wise local, and a professional underwater photographer, is performing a photo-inventory and will survey the ship and recommend conservation measures to the Yukon Government.
A.J. Goddard Finds
There was no gold on this small vessel, but there was a wealth of information as to how the rivermen of the era lived and worked. The wreck and its debris field contain a diverse collection of tools, cooking utensils, and personal effects of the crew. These artifacts appear to be the contents of a self-sufficient, working stern-wheeler on which the crew fed themselves en route and periodically had to repair their ship on a remote wilderness river. Woodworking and blacksmithing tools are abundant and include a small forge, anvil, workbench, and hand tools. Cooking gear is the second dominant category of artifact. A small cookstove is on board, and a collection of enamelware, cook pots, and bottles lie scattered around the ship. Several long bones of a large mammal were found adjacent to the ship, suggesting fresh meat was on the menu. Personal artifacts associated with the crew include boots and the remains of a coat.
There were clues about the ship's demise 108 years earlier. The main deck has ten hatches arranged in five pairs, and firewood is visible below deck within the forward holds. None of the hatch covers remain, suggesting they were not reliably secured and they washed away as the vessel foundered. Two axes lie on the deck at the bow where they were dropped after the crew cut away a barge in tow. One firebox door is open and stuffed with unburned wood, suggesting the men tried in vain to restart the boiler fire as the ship went down.
Work Ongoing
The wreck and its debris field are protected by territorial and federal law and all INA work conducted on Yukon wreck sites must be done under archaeological permit. Further work is planned for 2010.

00:09:00 Catherine Jaffee
Turkey is famed for its honey, which is music to Boyd's ears—he has a notorious sweet tooth. He visited National Geographic grantee Cat Jaffee, a beekeeper who left her job in Washington, D.C. to make honey in rural Turkey. She says that bees harvest pollen from their surroundings: the best honey comes from bees with natural surroundings, large meadows, rather than urban environments. Most people, Jaffee says, eat honey that is basically a synthetic mix of sugars from all over the world.

Jump-Start Your Exercise Routine: Q&A With Fitness Trainer Chris Weibleby Joseph Erdos in Uncategorized, January 25, 2013
Bobby Flay manages to stay fit and healthy even with a busy lifestyle as a chef, and he's eager to share his healthy eating and fitness plan with fans in a seven-part Web series, Bobby Flay Fit.
Getting help from someone who knows about fitness, like a trainer, when beginning a new exercise routine is important. In Episode 3 of Bobby Flay Fit, Michael Symon takes Bobby to Reebok Sports Club in New York to teach him some new weight-lifting routines. In a Bobby Flay Fit bonus video, Chris Weible, fitness trainer at Reebok Sports Club, demonstrates some easy exercises you can do anywhere to jump-start your fitness routine.
Healthy Eats caught up with Chris to talk more about exercising at home, finding the right time to work out and how he stays motivated and energized.
What are some exercises people can do at home if they don't have a gym membership?
Chris Weible: Some great exercises to do at home if you do not have access to a gym are 1) planks, which are fantastic for the core, 2) push-ups, which work the chest and the arms, 3) chair dips for the triceps and 4) chair squats for the legs.
How many times do you recommend exercising per week?
CW: It really depends on the person and their availability. In a perfect world I'd say six. However, three days or every other day can be extremely beneficial.
When's the best time of day to exercise?
CW: The best time of day to exercise is up to each individual person. Typically the best time to work out is when that person feels most energized to work out and whenever it is convenient with their job schedules.
If you only had 15 minutes to work out, what exercise would you do?
CW: If I only had 15 minutes to work out I would most likely do a squat curl press. I would definitely do an exercise that combines as many muscles in the shortest amount of time possible.
How do you stay motivated to exercise?
CW: I stay motivated to exercise by the results that I see and the way it makes me feel when I finish a workout. I love challenges and am always trying to improve upon my weaknesses. The important thing to do is set goals for yourself. Have small goals for the week and bigger goals for the month and/or year. Know what your goals are so that you can take the necessary steps to achieve them.
What do you eat or drink before and/or after a workout?
CW: I typically like to eat a piece of fruit with some form of protein. I cannot work out on an empty stomach. Plus, you need some energy to get the workout going.


text: I don't necessarily feel she is overhyped. She is 6th (?) in the World, which is quite a feat for your first Sr.Worlds. She can be hit or miss, she's not a sure thing yet. Her programs this season are not showing her to her best, but I've been disappointed in others' programs this season too. When she's on and lands her elements it is pretty spectacular.

TROY Batchelor has boarded hundreds of flight and travelled all over the world to ride his speedway bike during his nine-year career to date, but admits his latest trip will be nothing like he's experienced before.
The 26-year-old yesterday boarded a flight to New Zealand which will not only take him as close to home in Australia as he is likely to get during the racing season, but also serves to deliver his dream of becoming a full-time Grand Prix rider.
Robins captain Batchelor was handed the a spot in the series following the withdrawal of Russian Emil Sayfutdinov due to injury and financial problems, and will line up alongside the rest of the world class field when the series begins in the early hours of Saturday morning in Western Springs, Auckland.
For Batchelor the near 24-hour journey to New Zealand is nothing compared to how long he's waited to mix it with the best in the world on the grandest stage of all and, although he had a taste during the final round of the 2013 GP series in Torun in October, the Aussie admitted to the Adver while packing his bags he's not entirely sure what to expect.
"I did all my packing and final prep to triple check and make sure I've got everything because if you get out there and find out you haven't got it then it's too late," he said.
"I'm feeling pretty good about it because we raced at Lakeside on Friday and I'm felt good but it's going to be a massive week for me really. When we get out there we've got practice and press conferences and a load of other things so it's more than just five races. This is a big deal for me and I just can't wait to get it started.
"It feels a little different for me to be honest because it's such a big one.
"For the first time I'm flying mechanics with me to the other side of the world because normally my dad just does it for me when I'm back home. This time I've got two of my boys coming with me, as well as my dad, so I'm surrounded by good people going into this.
"It's another speedway meeting but it's so much more. The first round is important, of course it is, but after the first round we'll evaluate things and see where I'm at and what I need to change and work on."
While only untried German Martin Smolinski is longer odds to win this year's world championship and many tipping Batchelor to struggle, the man himself points to close friend Tai Woffinden who took the crown last season despite being tipped to finish bottom of the pile.
"I never really care what anyone else thinks and I'm not going to start now but if you look at the odds I'm something like 100/1," he said.
"That's what Woffy (Woffinden) was and if you had asked anyone this time last year whether he would be world champion then they would say no, but look what he did.
"It's a tough field of riders and there's nobody I would expect to beat easily so it's a tough, tough series. You have to put your best foot forward and earn a bit of luck, but not only luck you have to be so prepared for it and give it everything you've got.
"That's what I'll do and that's what I always do and hopefully it works out for me."
Batchelor and Woffinden rode together for Polish club Wroclaw last season, allowing the Robins skipper to pick up some tips along the way.
"We spent a lot of time together last season, travelling, sitting in the hotel and racing," he said.
"We shared some thoughts and it was pretty cool to hear what he was thinking and feeling as it all got closer for him. It was a great year and it goes to show what's possible when you put your mind to it.
"He was in the GP before and it didn't go so well for him but he got his head down, worked hard, and it all paid off for him.
"That's my attitude as well and I will work as hard as I possibly can to make this work for me."
Many first-time GP riders have struggled to make the transition from riding as part of a team to competing as an individual, but Batchelor's experience of learning his trade in Australia looks set to stand him in good stead.
"Some people perform under pressure and some people don't and that's a big thing because this isn't team riding anymore, this is individual and there's nobody there to help you," he said.
"It suits me because that's how I grew up racing. When I came to England I started racing in teams and it was weird for me because I've raced as myself growing up and that's what I do every winter when I go home."
Batchelor will wear the number 75 race jacket when the series gets underway, a number he has held since his early days of racing back home in Australia.

TEENAGER Zoe Wassell took centre stage at the Midland Counties Cross Country Championships in Leamington Spa, writes KEVIN FAHEY.
The 14-year-old Malmesbury School student was the only local athlete to make the podium in the 10-race programme as she finished an excellent third in the under 15 girls race.
It was Wassell's first regional cross country medal and after her fourth place in the Cardiff Cross Country Challenge the previous weekend represents a terrific start to the new year.
"I was really pleased with that performance," said Wassell, who lives in Tetbury.
"I went to Leamington hoping to make the top three but it was an extremely muddy course – and I don't particularly like mud."
Wassell, who is coached by Chris Frapwell at Stroud & District Athletic Club, started cautiously and admitted she let the top two runners get too far ahead, but the bronze was far from granted as the race developed.
"My legs still felt a little tired from the race in Cardiff the previous Sunday so I didn't start hard enough," added Wassell.
"Laura Mullin (Charnwood athlete) was ahead of me and opened quite a gap at one stage. I eventually caught her up and we were running neck and neck I the last lap.
"I knew then it would come down to a sprint finish and luckily I had a lot of support, including my mum and dad (Jane and Mike Wassell) cheering me on down the finish straight and I managed to just beat her by two seconds.
"I won a team gold a few years ago but that is my first Midlands individual medal at cross country and that was definitely one of my best performances this winter."
Wassell's next race will be the rearranged Wiltshire Schools' Cross Country Championships at Grittleton House School on Saturday. The original fixture on January 18 was postponed due to a waterlogged course.
"Hopefully the event will go ahead this time as the following week is the South West Schools' Championships (in Bournemouth) and this is a great event to do," said Wassell.

Topic: Gemzar,Kytril, and Decadroin
The beginning of the game?
It's been a while since I have written because most of what was happening were tests. In review, I have cholangiocarcinoma of the left bile duct. The tumor, however, is protruding into the common bile duct. (It was discovered during a cat scan of the lungs.) Suspicions were confirmed by an MRI and an ERCP. They were taken at Riverside Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The surgeon suggested that perhaps the tumor could be downsized and the common bile duct saved.
Monday, February 21st, I had my first radiation and chemo treatment. I was given Kytril (anti-nausea), and Decadroin (a steroid), prior to the Gemzar (chemo) treatment. I've read a few comments about Gemzar. Does anyone know anything about Kytril or Decadroin????????? I'm to have five daily doses of radiation, be off Saturday and Sunday, and have five more days of radiation. The chemo treatments are to be, concurrently, one day weekly for seven weeks. At the end of six weeks I'm to be re-evaluated for surgery. (Of course, all during the process there are to be blood tests etc.)
While sitting in the waiting rooms, it's easily to see that cancer is no respecter of persons. There are all ages, sizes, sexes, and colors. What is good to see is the persons keeping themselves occupied. Reading, working puzzles. joking, covered in warm blankets and trying to sleep the pain away. God help them (us) all.
I would appreciate any comments that anyone has regarding the path that I'm currently traveling. Are there any things that I have to expect from the chemo/radiation.? I'm especially interested in the surgery. Does anyone know how the chemo/radiation may effect the surgery? Does anyone know of any do's or don'ts? Have any of you had half or more of your liver removed after chemo/radiation?

A GROUP of friends from Malvern have raised more than £1,200 for two Worcester charities with an epic three day, 120-mile canoe expedition.
Mat Duffett, Kenny Allton, Rich Bingham and Dave Thomasset off from Welshpool in Powys at 6am on Thursday, July 24 and paddled down the River Severn through Shrewsbury, Ironbridge, Bewdley, Stourport and Worcester before arriving in Upton at 5pm on Saturday, July 26.
The team carried out the challenge in aid of St Richard's Hospice, which provides care and support to people with cancer and other life-threatening conditions and their families, and Acorns Children's Hospice, which cares for children and young people with a range of conditions.
Mr Duffett said he was delighted by how much he and his friends had raised, with money still rolling in.
"The one thing that kept us all going was the thought of those less fortunate than ourselves who receive treatment and care from the hospices on a daily basis," he said.

Topic: Swollen ankles
My husband is in his third round of chemo treatment to shrink his tumor. Treatment is two weeks on one week off. He missed one session because his wbc's were too low. They are using gem/cis with anti nausea drip and benedril. On Thursday he had chemo. Felt great the next day. Yesterday he was totally wiped out. Today his ankles are very swollen. Has anyone out there had any experience with swelling? Thanks is advance for ay information.


text: A spin off of the "Looks you get" thread. Who here has received the infamous "Is that a Hasselbald?" remark from a bystander? I just got my first ITAH? this Friday while carrying my Speed Graphic around, and was very excited since I've only heard about 26,000 other photographers say they have received that comment. I was starting to feel like I was doing something wrong by not being asked. An while we are on the subject why is it that whenever a bystander seems to know something about cameras, they ask if it is a Hasselblad? Why not "Is that a Deardorf?" or something similar? Thoughts?

Five Things You Missed: World Series, Game 2The Cardinals tied it up in game 2 of the 2013 World Series. Here are five things you missed.
Sports Verdict: Bigger World Series Impact? Koji Uehara Vs. Michael WachaThe Cardinals and Red Sox are squaring off against one another yet again this year in the Fall Classic. While much of the spotlight will fall on marquis players like David Ortiz, a battle over a limited seven game sample such as this often boils down to X-Factors.
