Slide 1
Genes in the News
More and more often, headlines boast of new cancer genes found.No wonder people are left with many unanswered questions. What is the connection between such gene discoveries and cancer? Is there a connection between genes and cancer's diagnosis or treatment? The answers to these and other gene questions lie in understanding gene discovery, the science behind gene testing--the ability of researchers to identify changes within genes that may predict the future development of specific diseases, help diagnose existing diseases, or, someday, make it possible to treat or even ward off disease.
Slide 2
The story of gene testing begins with DNA.
DNA is a vast chemical information database. It resides in the core, or nucleus, of each of the body's trillions of cells, and it carries the complete set of instructions for making all the proteins a cell will ever need.
Slide 3
Chemical Bases in DNA
DNA exists as two long, paired strands spiraled into the famous double helix.
Each strand is made up of millions of chemical building blocks called bases. There are only four different chemical bases in DNA (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine), but they can be arranged and rearranged in countless ways. The order in which the bases occur determines the messages to be conveyed, much as specific letters of the alphabet combine to form words and sentences.
Slide 4
DNA Molecules
Every human cell (with the exception of mature red blood cells, which have no nuclei) contains the same DNA.
Each cell has 46 molecules of double-stranded DNA. Each DNA molecule is made up of 50 to 250 million bases housed in a chromosome.
Slide 5
Gene Subunits
A gene is a working subunit of a DNA molecule.
A gene is any given segment along the DNA carrying a particular set of instructions that allows a cell to produce a specific product--typically, a protein such as an enzyme. There are about 25,000 genes, and every gene is made up of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of chemical bases.
Slide 6
Building proteins lies at the heart of cell function.
For a cell to make a protein, the information from a gene is copied, base by base, from a strand of DNA into a strand of messenger RNA. Messenger RNA travels out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, to cell organelles called ribosomes. There, messenger RNA directs the assembly of amino acids that fold into a completed protein molecule.
Slide 7
Different Genes - Different Functions
Although each cell contains the genetic potential to make all possible human proteins, cells use genes selectively.
Some housekeeping genes encode proteins needed for basic cell functions, and these genes stay active all the time in many cell types. More typically, though, a cell activates just the genes it needs at the moment and actively suppresses the rest. The unique selection of genes used by a cell gives that cell its character--making a brain cell, say, different from a bone cell.
Slide 8
Gene Mutations and Disease
A sound body depends on the continuous interplay of thousands of proteins, acting together in just the right amounts and in just the right places--and each properly functioning protein is the product of an intact gene.
Many, if not most, diseases have their roots in our genes. More than 4,000 diseases stem from altered genes inherited from one's mother and/or father. Common disorders such as heart disease and most cancers arise from a complex interplay among multiple genes and between genes and factors in the environment.
Slide 9
Gene Mutations
Genes can be altered, or mutated, in many ways.
The most common gene change involves a single base mismatch--a misspelling--placing the wrong base in the DNA. At other times, a single base may be dropped or added. And sometimes large pieces of DNA are mistakenly repeated or deleted.
Slide 10
Altered DNA->Altered Protein
When a gene contains a mutation, the protein encoded by that gene is likely to be abnormal.
Sometimes the protein will be able to function, but imperfectly. In other cases, it will be totally disabled. The outcome depends not only on how it alters a protein's function but also on how vital that particular protein is to survival.
Slide 11
Hereditary Mutations
Gene mutations can be either inherited from a parent or acquired.
Hereditary mutations are carried in the DNA of the reproductive cells. When reproductive cells containing mutations combine to produce offspring, the mutation will be in all of the offspring's body cells. The fact that every cell contains the gene change makes it possible to use cheek cells or a blood sample for gene testing.
Slide 12
Acquired Mutations
Acquired mutations are changes in DNA that develop throughout a person's lifetime.
Although mistakes occur in DNA all the time, especially during cell division, a cell has the remarkable ability to fix them. But if DNA repair mechanisms fail, mutations can be passed along to future copies of the altered cell.
Slide 13
Human Chromosomes
Human cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from the mother and one from the father.
Each set has 23 single chromosomes--22 autosomes and a sex-determining chromosome, either X or Y. The set shown here is from a male, since it contains an X and a Y chromosome; if the chromosome set were from a female, it would contain an X and an X.
Slide 14
Genes come in pairs, with one copy inherited from each parent.
Many genes come in a number of variant forms, known as alleles. A dominant allele prevails over a normal allele. A recessive allele prevails if its counterpart allele on the other chromosome becomes inactivated or lost.
Slide 15
Altered Dominant Genes
In dominant genetic disorders, one affected parent has a disease-causing allele that dominates its normal counterpart.
Each child in the family has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the disease allele and the disorder.
Slide 16
Altered Recessive Genes
In diseases associated with altered recessive genes, both parents--though disease free themselves--carry one normal allele and one altered allele.
Each child has one chance in four of inheriting two altered alleles and developing the disorder; one chance in four of inheriting two normal alleles; and two chances in four of inheriting one normal and one altered allele and being a carrier like both parents.
Slide 17
Disease Inheritance Is Complex
Most diseases do not follow simple patterns of inheritance.
Many factors influence a gene's ability to build proteins. For one thing, different mutations in the same gene can produce a wide range of effects. In cystic fibrosis, for example, the gene that controls mucus production can have more than 300 different mutations; some cause severe symptoms; some, mild symptoms; and some, no symptoms at all.
Slide 18
Gene Tests - Three Common Methods
Gene testing involves examining a person's DNA--typically taken from cells in a sample of blood--for mutations linked to a disease or disorder.
Some genetic tests can identify changes in whole chromosomes. Others examine short stretches of DNA within genes. Yet others look for the protein products of genes.
Slide 19
Genetic Tests Serve Many Purposes
Genetic tests serve many purposes. They are widely used to screen newborns for a variety of disorders. Often this information enables the doctors to minimize the damage caused by the mutation.
In oncology, doctors use gene testing to diagnose cancer, to classify cancer into subtypes, or to predict a patient's responsiveness to new treatments.
Slide 20
Microarray Analysis
Much of the excitement today centers on gene expression profiling that uses a technology called microarrays. A DNA microarray is a thin-sized chip that has been spotted at fixed locations with thousands of single-stranded DNA fragments corresponding to various genes of interest. A single microarray may contain 10,000 or more spots, each containing pieces of DNA from a different gene. Fluorescent-labeled probe DNA fragments are added to ask if there are any places on the microarray where the probe strands can match and bind. Complete patterns of gene activity can be captured with this technology.
Slide 21
Human Genome Project
Identifying genes associated with disease--indeed, tracking down every chemical base in each of the estimated 25,000 genes as well as the spaces between them, a process called mapping the human genome--has been accomplished successfully by an international collaboration known as the Human Genome Project.
Scientists have developed a consensus sequence, laying out the order in which all the human genes sit along the chromosomes. This information can be used to determine where gene mutations occur in specific diseases. For example, here is a chart of disease-linked genes located along the X chromosome.
Slide 22
Studying Genes
To study specific genes, scientists can now use information from the Human Genome Project to locate a gene's position along a chromosome.
Scientists clone or copy specific sites to obtain millions of identical copies, which are then stored. Researchers then retrieve the appropriate clone and use it for additional experiments.
Slide 23
Searching Disease Families
Scientists searching for disease-linked genes often begin by studying DNA samples from "disease families" in which numerous relatives, over several generations, have developed the illness.
Slide 24
Disease-Linked Genes
The scientists look for altered regions of the human genome--known DNA segments containing disease-linked mutations-- that are consistently inherited by persons with the disease and are not found in relatives who are disease free. Researchers use this information and tools from the Human Genome Project to zero in on the exact location of the altered gene or genes and characterize the specific base changes.
Slide 25
Gene Tests for Cancer
Gene tests are already available for some two dozen disorders, including life-threatening diseases such as cystic fibrosis and Tay Sachs disease.
Gene tests for some cancers are also available. Specific genetic mutations have been identified as linked to several types of cancer, and, for some cancer types, this information has been converted into clinical tests. For example, scientists identified gene mutations that are linked to an inherited tendency to develop colon or breast cancer, and tests for an inherited susceptibility to these cancers are commercially available.
Slide 26
Many Mutations Lead to Cancer
All cancer is genetic, in that it is triggered by altered genes. Genes that control the orderly replication of cells become damaged, allowing the cells to reproduce without restraint.
Cancer usually arises in a single cell. The cell's progress from normal to malignant to metastatic appears to involve a series of distinct changes in the tumor and its immediate environment, and each is influenced by different sets of genes.
Slide 27
Most Cancer Is NOT Inherited
Even though all cancer is genetic, just a small portion--perhaps 5 or 10 percent--is inherited.
Most cancers come from random mutations that develop in body cells during one's lifetime--either as a mistake when cells are going through cell division or in response to injuries from environmental agents such as radiation or chemicals.
Slide 28
Genetic Tests Find Mutations, NOT Disease
An accurate gene test can tell if a mutation is present, but that finding does not guarantee that disease will develop.
For example, women with the BRCA1 breast cancer susceptibility gene have an 80 percent chance of developing breast cancer by the age of 65. The risk is high but not absolute. And family members who test negative for the BRCA1 mutation are not exempt from breast cancer risk; over time, they can acquire breast cancer-associated genetic changes at the same rate as the general population.
Slide 29
Benefits of Gene Testing
Gene testing offers several benefits.
A negative result can create a tremendous sense of relief and may eliminate the need for frequent checkups and tests that are routine in families with a high risk of cancer. Even a positive result can relieve uncertainty and allow a person to make informed decisions about the future. A positive result can also let a person take steps to reduce risk before disease has a chance to develop.
Slide 30
Limitations of Gene Testing
Gene testing has several limitations.
For example, some disorders that "run in families" can be traced to shared environmental exposures rather than any inherited susceptibility. In addition, some mutations detected by a positive test may never lead to disease. Furthermore, because existing tests look only for the more common mutations in a gene, some disease-causing mutations may escape detection.
Slide 31
Major Limitations of Gene Testing
Perhaps the most serious limitation of gene testing is that test information is not matched by state-of-the-art diagnostics and therapies.
To receive positive test results when there is no adequate treatment can be tragic.
Slide 32
Psychological Consequences
Although gene testing poses little physical risk--usually no more than giving a blood sample--it can seriously affect a person's life.
A test confirming the risk of a serious disease can trigger profound psychological consequences.
Slide 33
Who Should Know?
Because gene tests reveal information not only about the individual, but about his/her relatives and future offspring, the results can challenge family and other personal relationships.
With whom should a person share test results? Do the other family members want to know?
Slide 34
Confidentiality Concerns
Because gene test results hold a wealth of information, confidentiality is a major concern.
In 2005, the Federal government passed a law to protect a person's confidentiality concerning the results of gene tests. The law prohibits insurance companies and employers from discriminating against anyone based on knowledge of confidential genetic information about that person.
Slide 35
Difficult Decision
Deciding to have a gene test is difficult.
In 1994, a poll asked people if they would take a test to predict diseases that might occur later in their lives; they were not told whether or not treatment or preventive measures would be available. About the same number of people said "no" as said "yes."
Slide 36
Personal Decision
The decision to undergo testing is a very personal one, and experts stress that it should be totally voluntary.
After receiving genetic counseling, a person should agree to the test only if she or he wants the information, not to accommodate relatives, health care providers, or anyone else. An important consideration to weigh is this: If the results are positive, are there available methods for state-of-the-art early detection? prevention? treatment?
Slide 37
Importance of Counselors
Genetic counselors have a vital role to play.
These specially trained health professionals are skilled at supporting individuals when testing is being considered, when test results are received, and during the weeks and months afterward.
Slide 38
Candidates for Testing
Since gene tests are designed to identify persons who have inherited a gene mutation, the first candidates for study will be members of high-risk families.
Later, tests may be offered to persons whose family history is less telling. Some day it may be possible to test a single blood sample for a whole range of gene mutations.
Slide 39
Technical Concerns
Before gene tests become generally available, specialists and society at large must come to grips with major technical, ethical, and economic concerns.
If widespread gene testing becomes a reality, it will be necessary to develop tests that are simple, cost-effective, and accurate. Testing thousands to millions of people will require many new labs and personnel as well as more genetic counselors. And widespread gene testing will require that many health care providers have a basic understanding of genetic principles in order to interpret the tests.

"I look out the window and I see a sheep running down Van Dyke." That's how Allen Oleszko describes the start to his Tuesday afternoon. Soon after, employees were chasing the animal around their auto shop, Nortown Collison, after the animal ran in through an open door. When the sheep came into the auto shop she was scared and ran wild, smashing and breaking things. She eventually tried to jump out of the window but the window is made of safety glass so the animal couldn't get through."It was running around the shop knocking over bumpers that were on stands ready to be painted, so we were trying to catch it and keep it away from our work area," Oleszko says. Nortown employees eventually backed the female sheep into a corner, before she hurt herself or someone else. They tied her up, gave her fresh water and called animal control.The sheep had all the right markings to indicate he's had the proper shots. Police believe she escaped from a butcher shop on Eight Mile Road. Animal control plans to hold the sheep until they can track down the owner. In the meantime, PETA has contacted animal control hoping to save the animal.

Canadian researchers have found that high-fructose corn syrup can cause behavioral reactions in rats very close to those caused by hardcore drugs, like cocaine.'
The researchers said that their findings suggested there was an addictive quality to foods that contain high levels of high-fructose corn syrup which could partly explain the current obesity epidemic.
Another thing to consider is that high-fructose corn syrup hides in fast food meals as one of the main ingredients in everything from burger buns and sauces to soft drinks.
High fructose corn syrup was discovered in the 1950s, but it wasn't until the '70s that it became widely used.

What Lexus models will be equipped with the Lexus Enform App Suite?
The Lexus Enform App Suite* is available on all Navigation-equipped* 2013 and newer Lexus models.
If I am a Lexus Enform customer with a 2010, 2011 or 2012 model year vehicle, can I upgrade to the next-generation Lexus Enform® with the App Suite version?
Enform customers with a 2010, 2011 or 2012 model year vehicle will not be able to upgrade to Lexus Enform App Suite* because the App Suite features are not compatible with the navigation systems on these vehicles.
How do I create my Lexus Enform App Suite account?
It's easy. First, visit www.lexusenformappsuite.com. Then, fill in the required fields under "Don't Have an Account." Finally, select "Create My Account." Please remember you must also have a www.lexusdrivers.com account in order to take advantage of the eDestination function in App Suite.
Where do I get the Lexus Enform® App Suite mobile app?
You will be able to download the app at no cost from a variety of popular app stores (e.g., Apple's App Store or Google Play). The experience will be the same as for any other app download.
When I register for the Enform App Suite, do I get all the apps and can I add others?
Once you register, you will have access to all the available Lexus Enform App Suite [1] apps (Bing™, iHeartRadio, MovieTickets.com, OpenTable®, Pandora®, Yelp, and Facebook places, Sports, Stocks and Fuel Prices, plus Traffic and Weather). You'll need to link or create and link the accounts for each app to Enform App Suite when you create your App Suite account to experience all of their benefits. To do this, go to www.lexusenformappsuite.com. Currently, these are the only apps available in App Suite. Stay tuned for updates on future content additions.
How does Enform App Suite work?
Enform App Suite is designed to work simply and intuitively. Using the voice recognition, steering wheel controls or in–vehicle touch screen, you can access a variety of information and entertainment applications via a Bluetooth® connection to your smartphone. Once the smartphone is paired via Bluetooth, you never have to touch the handset again.
Which apps are included in Lexus Enform® with App Suite?
The third–party apps supported through Lexus Enform App Suite currently include Bing, iHeartRadio, MovieTickets.com, OpenTable, Pandora, Facebook Places, Yelp, Sports, Stocks and Fuel Prices, plus Traffic and Weather. To learn more about each app, view our tutorial "The Convenience of App Suite."
What if I already have accounts with these providers? Do I need to create new accounts just for Lexus Enform App Suite?
If you already have an existing account for any of the apps, you can simply link them to your App Suite account. This allows you to connect these apps to your vehicle and operate them using in-vehicle controls.
Can I access social networking apps such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn® through Lexus Enform App Suite?
The Facebook app Facebook Places is currently available as a part of App Suite. It can be accessed only while in Park. It allows you to "check in" at destinations so your Facebook friends will know your location, or to tag other friends when checking in. Complete Facebook access is currently not available. In addition, other social networking platforms such as Foursquare, Twitter and LinkedIn are not currently available. We recognize the customer demand for these services and are studying ways to safely implement them within the vehicle.
Can I search the Internet with Bing through the Lexus Enform App Suite?
Yes, but it is limited to POIs (points-of-interest) to assist you with directions through the Navigation System. General web searches through Bing are not available.
Which phones are compatible with the Lexus Enform App Suite?
Lexus Enform App Suite* is compatible with a wide range of smartphones. Most smartphones with a data plan are compatible, including iPhone®* and Android™* models. Enform App Suite does not currently support BlackBerry 7 OS and Lexus does not have any plans in the immediate future to test or support BlackBerry 7 OS. For more information, go to www.lexus.com/mobilelink.
Will the Enform App Suite work with my iPad® or iPod® Touch?
No. Only smartphones are tested and support Enform App Suite.
Does the Lexus Enform App Suite use my phone's data plan for operation?
Yes, Lexus Enform App Suite* services rely on your smartphone's data plan, and carrier charges may apply. Applications within the Lexus Enform App Suite* will have different data usage depending on how often each is used.
Will Lexus Enform App Suite apps operate if the cell signal momentarily vanishes?
Apps such as Bing, which are essentially mobile-optimized websites, require a cell signal to operate. They may become non-responsive while waiting for a more reliable signal. Other apps, notably iHeartRadio and Pandora, have built-in buffering capability that may bridge a momentary interruption of signal. However, if a signal interruption is long enough to empty the buffer, the music will stop. In summary, Lexus Enform App Suite* itself does not buffer data, but instead follows each app's individual buffering strategy and capabilities.
When I'm away from my vehicle, can I use the Lexus Enform App Suite on my smartphone?
Some of the Lexus Enform App Suite* apps (specifically Bing, MovieTickets.com, OpenTable, Fuel Guide, and Sports and Stocks) work even when away from the vehicle. Specifically, Bing, Movietickets.com and OpenTable can all be used within the Lexus Enform mobile app. You can save a point of interest, restaurant location or theater location, then transfer that location to the vehicle's Navigation System* using eDestination. Other applications, such as Yelp and Facebook Places, are available for an in-car only experience. However, to enjoy these apps outside the car, simply download the independent versions of these stand-alone apps (separate from your Lexus Enform mobile app) to your smartphone.
Does the Enform App Suite feature voice recognition?
Yes. All apps offered within the Enform App Suite, except for Facebook Places, Fuel Guide, Traffic and Weather, will be equipped with Voice Recognition. However, all apps, including Facebook Places and other apps that do not have Voice Recognition, can be accessed using the Push-To-Talk button on the steering wheel.
What new features does 'Advanced Voice Recognition' add over 'Voice Recognition'?
The new Advanced Voice Recognition (available on 2014 IS, CT and GX models) brings in the following new features that will make it easier for you to interact with your vehicle Navigation System*:
• All applications can be launched using voice commands.
• All applications except Facebook Places, Fuel Guide and eDestination can be operated using Advanced Voice Recognition.
• The user will be prompted for smaller pieces of information to clarify a request.
• The system can remember the context of the speech to allow for more human-like interaction so that the user does not need to repeat the subject.
• With over 100,000 variations of commands recognized, the system is designed to enable you to speak in a free form manner and still be understood.
• You can use the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button on the steering wheel to launch Advanced Voice Recognition for all multimedia functions, including apps, navigation, audio and phone.
Do I have to make a payment or get a subscription to get Traffic and Weather services?
For 2014 IS, GX and CT models, you do not need a subscription to receive Traffic and Weather services within HD* Data coverage areas. If you choose to pair your smartphone, your Enform App Suite subscription and data plan will allow you to access these services outside of HD coverage areas, and cellular charges will apply.
How do I know if I am within HD Data coverage and am getting Traffic and Weather via HD Data?
HD* Data is available on 2014 IS, CT and GX models. If you are in HD Data coverage, you will see an HD icon in the top left corner of your Navigation* screen. If you do not see this icon, you will not be able to receive HD Data at that time.
How secure is the system? Is it vulnerable to hacking?
The security of the system is extremely important to us. The Lexus Enform* mobile app is secure, as it requires a connection back to Lexus servers. We will not allow any apps to appear on the system that are not on the access control list. The system will not take/accept any apps that are not approved by Lexus's access control list. The system also uses IP security currently used for the Web. Anti-hacking measures beyond the app, such as on the handset, are outside of Lexus' control.
How much user behavior is recorded by the system and is there a privacy issue?
Any user activity that is tracked is used only to help create a richer and more robust product for the future. Personal information is not collected; usage data is anonymized and aggregated as general customer behavior.
Does the Lexus Enform App Suite store personal data?
The Lexus Enform App Suite* stores the contacts you've entered into the phone book and records previous destinations. You can erase either or both at any time.
With the new Lexus Enform® App Suite system, Lexus works with several service providers. What customer information or data is shared with service providers?
Lexus does not send personally identifiable information to Enform App Suite service providers—we do not transmit the vehicle identification number (VIN) or the customer name. Many of the service providers utilize GPS data in order to support the functionality of their respective products.
For a customer to use certain Enform App Suite services, he or she must first create a separate customer account with the respective service providers. Access to these accounts via Enform App Suite is done using an encrypted key instead of customer login credentials.
In the future, on certain Lexus models, the Enform App Suite Traffic service will anonymously (i.e., with no personally identifiable information included) transmit the vehicle's direction, GPS location and speed to the traffic service provider to enhance traffic information. Again, this data does not disclose the VIN, customer's name, address or any other personally identifiable information.

Not seen Tombstone? That doesn't computer
I'm in the middle of the last season of Lost right now. We have Babylon 5 waiting to be watched next but after that, I just don't know. I really like a series that builds up and makes you think....you have to watch it in order for the episodes to make sense.
I didn't really watch Oscars last night but was happy Argo won. We loved that one and I have a major thing for Ben Affleck.
Lost has got to be one of the most ridiculous shows I've ever tried to make myself suffer through. I'm playing it at night to fall asleep by. Usually works like a charm, but last night I had a wrestles night so I kept starting another episode. It was getting weirder and faker and more unbelievable by the moment. I hate it.
I don't think Ben is attractive (looks like a horse to me), but I really like the work that he and Matt Damon have done. They're among the actors that have surprised me in a positive way. Like Johnny Depp. No one that saw 21 Jump Street would've guessed he'd be capable of what he has done.
Hi everyone!! I have been reading aroundd here but not typing so have been a constant lurker. Hope everyone is doing well.I just finished the 3rd season of Downton, saw you mentioned it and it really upset me - the final episode of that season. I won't get into it since I know others are watching it from older seasons, but I was really pissed off and am considering not watching Season 4, even though I know that that consideration is just raw emotion because I know I will watch it lol.Just VERY upset at that ending. Lots going on with me other than being mad at Downton and winter/spring is my busy time of the year. Ky will be starting baseball soon and decided to join the soccer team at school plus my aunt and her sons are still at my house and keeping DH from getting upset at her oldest son's lack of "manhood" is a task. I understand DH completely since I also view him as kind of lazy - he is in a local college right now, 18 years old, but DH feels he needs to get a part time job since his mom is out of work and they are not contributing anything financially to the house. I think I have mentioned my DH has a wonderful work ethic - he is ALWAYS working or thinking of ways to make money and has at time had 4 jobs. Don't know if any of you used to watch that show "In Living Color" but Damon Wayans played a character on there who was Jamaican and he was always speaking in a Jamaican acccent about his "tree jobs." LOL. I used to joke with DH that he should have been born Jamaican since he is always wanting to work at least 2 jobs. Right now he is not since I convinced him that being at home is a job, except you don't get paid and he has been helping me out more with the kids so now he does see it as a job. He told my little cousin that on his days off from school he should go to the day labor place, which is about 3 blocks from our house and my cousin made up some excuses. My aunt makes excuses for her sons and when DH told her about his idea, she got all huffy and said that they require you to register and that you cannot just go and work anymore. She looked them up, a specific day laborer company, but DH told her that is not the one down the street and he (my cousin) should go over there one morning about 6am and ask them their procedures. But my aunt and cousin were argumentative a little bit about it so he is more than a bit perturbed (DH that is). I do see his point since I also worked as a day laborer when I was 18/19 years old and didn't have a job or any money so I don't see the harm in going by there and asking them the process, or even registering if you have to do that. DH is adamant that they will have to go by the end of March so I will have to contact my dad and his sisters and tell them that they need to help her and her sons get bus or plane tickets back to either Toledo or Detroit where my family lives. So we shall see.Other than that, I am gearing up for our busy spring. I also have gotten more into golf and may take some lessons. I go to the driving range sometimes but have never played a game. Ky is interested in golf as well but I told him he will have to wait until fall to get lessons since he has soccer and basebball and drama club at school going on.Erin
I know you said you didn't like it Chrissy.....we are loving it and have basically whipped through 6 seasons in like a month. But it is very mystical and sci-fy.....which we like sci-fy.
There is something about Ben Affleck that reminds me of my DH....especially with the facial hair. Except my DH is shorter, a little overweight, younger and has a little lighter hair. Oh and mine doesn't quite have a full on bead. Dh thinks I'm nuts but whatever, something about the face shape reminds me of him.
Wow Erin! I've been thinking about you and wondering how things are. I do agree with your dh-if they're not going to get jobs and contribute, then they need to go. I'd work as a day laborer if I had to. I nearly took a job working 2nd shift cleaning offices when I was in college for this job. That was just 6 or 7 years ago. Something else came along instead, but I wasn't above it. If I need a job, I'll do anything. Period. As long as it's legal
Those taking Vit. D....how much are you taking? I was just reading about it again....and realized that I am likely not taking enough. first, I don't do it daily and when I do, I'm only doing a 2000 iui. I should be based on weight probably closer to 9000 iui a day (and the fact that I don't absorb as well or go out in the sun all that much).
DH and I actually saw Tombstone just a few days ago-it was my first time but DH had seen it before because he used to be really into that whole story with the Earps.Val Kilmer in that movie though, he was always sick and sweaty! And I'm not a big fan of facial hair LOL
It was funny though because there are so many well-known actors in that film. I don't think I even knew Billy Bob was in a movie before Slingblade.

Erin, hi! you're missed.
My list definitely includes Sean Connery, misogynist or no. Also partial to Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt (although I think he's a jerk. I just like to look at him). Although I usually prefer musicians to actors. I just like the artistic type, I guess. Believe it or not seeing who I married - but my experience with The Author sent me running in the opposite direction.
Back to the names discussion from a page or two back, DH has an ongoing insistence that we name a child Genghis.

Gen-gis. Like Genghis Khan.
Chrissy, if you do come out here - have you done the Tucson touristy-stuff? Or just outside of town like Tombstone?
And I confess I have never been to Tombstone in the 25 years I have lived here. If you can believe it. I also haven't seen the movie.

wtf Mandy?! Shannon & I stopped at some ancient church/cathedral thing outside of Tucson. We also visited mines somewhere between Phoenix and Tombstone, but it's been since 2009 and I really can't remember where that was exactly. The old church is probably the closest I was to doing anything anywhere near Tucson and I'm not sure how close we even were. My day of availability may have changed already. Shannon also has a family engagement in CO and she suggested I fly into Phoenix first and then we'd drive to CO together. It would mean LOTS more time with Shannon and I truly consider her one of my BFFs so if I can do that I'm going to. I should know tomorrow night what exactly I'm doing when.
Khan's full name is Ghengis :-). Of course, he's a dog!Back to the names discussion from a page or two back, DH has an ongoing insistence that we name a child Genghis.
Just let me know so I can plan. It's very difficult for me to take time off work mid-week but Fridays or weekends I would love to hang out! Or after work, of course, any day.
That must have been the mission (San Xavier del Bac). It's on the reservation but very close to town - the town sort of runs into the reservation over there. So pretty close. I love that part of our history - not, of course, what was done to the Native American population - but I love that we have a history that goes back long before this was part of America. Gives us character. And I adore the old Spanish architecture.

One of my daughters used to get a very high fever whenever she was sick. She was hospitalized twice with an illnes that was just a high fever. Both times we heard a lot of mentions of Kawasaki's disease, I'm guessing you did too. But after days of fever and oodles of tests, the fever broke and all was well.

The Boggs Mountain Humane Shelter board of directors admit that they didn't do their job after a FOX 5 I-Team investigation caught the shelter manager secretly allowing the killing of dogs she promised would be adopted.But those same board members tell FOX 5 I-Team reporter Randy Travis they're hoping the public will give them a second chance.Ever since that director has been fired, the board says there's a new motto in their building: transparency."We love this place. We've got so much invested and we've got to fix it. We've got to fix it. We have to go on," said vice-chairman Kirk Knous. Chairman Danny Benson and Knous say they've heard FOX 5 viewers loud and clear. Their phones blew up as soon as the undercover investigation hit the airwaves.The I-Team investigation caught the Rabun County shelter director Peanut Kilby deceiving people looking for a safe place to surrender a pet they could no longer keep. Not only did she promise Boggs Mountain was a no-kill shelter, she stressed the shelter's Lucky Dog program -- where for at least $100, you could guarantee your dog or cat would be placed in a good home.Yet since May, the strictly no-kill shelter killed more than 100 dogs or cats surrendered by their owner, including at least a dozen of those so-called Lucky Dogs.And even worse, some of those original owners still got e-mails or cards from Boggs telling them their Lucky dog was now in a wonderful home.Board members say it shocked them as well."I was totally blown away by the story," said Benson."Every animal that's euthanized is heart-wrenching for me. So it's very disappointing. That's not why we raised have hundreds of thousands of dollars, why I have thousands of hours invested in volunteer time here," said Knous.Last week the board unanimously voted to fire Kilby and close Boggs until they can do their own investigation. The GBI has started a criminal probe.For the million dollar facility with state-of-the-art air conditioning and a record of rescuing 10,000 animals in the last decade, the crash has come hard."The buck stops all the way back to the board. And again, we're here to take responsibility for those actions and find out exactly what happened and go forward," said Benson.Benson promised that no animals would be put to death as long as he's there."I think we're in the process of trying to figure out what we are and how we can go forward," said Benson.For the last week, board members and other volunteers have spent hours at the shelter cleaning and caring for the 89 animals still there.One question they must answer: who else here knew about the deception?Lynne Cousins is the sole Boggs employee who tipped us off. She worked at the desk handling intake at the shelter. Cousins says she tried twice to warn former board president Penny Burkitt about director Kilby and one final time when she was asked to resign after we showed up asking questions."I told her that fraud was being committed, that we were taking money for Lucky Dogs, euthanizing those dogs and then sending people notices that the animals had been adopted and rescued…Her response was 'Oh my God. I didn't know that,'" said Cousins.But Benson and Knous say Burkitt told them nothing and no investigation was even started until a week later -- after our reports began airing. Burkitt has not returned our calls.Cousins admits that she filled out the deceptive cards and e-mails. She said she did it to keep her job.But now neither Cousins nor her husband Glenn have a job at Boggs and the new board chairman says there are no plans to rehire either of them."I'm glad that she came forward and brought this to light. And that's the only thing I can comment about Lynne at this point because she's part of the investigation also," said Benson.Many of those Lucky Dog donations came in the form of cash. Board members say their policy was to have two signatures on every receipt. Yet one Lucky Dog donor showed us his receipt with only one signature. Another dog owner paid $500 cash to be in the Lucky Dog program.Knous said the board is investigating to see if those funds were deposited into the shelter's bank account.They've also started researching their euthanasia records for anyone who calls in wondering if their dog or cat was really adopted. They're offering refunds for any donors whose pet was actually killed.But after our investigation went viral, Boggs donations plummeted. They say they only have enough savings to stay open another three or four months."I'm concerned that we'll have to announce in a month or two that we're permanently closed…We need regular donations," said Knous.One of Boggs's biggest donors asked for a refund on Thursday.Meanwhile, two investigators from the Internal Revenue Service are helping GBI agents with the case.

By Christian Blauvelt, Hollywood.com Staff
If you're a Rolling Stones fan, wild horses couldn't have dragged you away from HBO last night. The band's latest documentary Crossfire Hurricaneone of the very best films ever made about the group, and there've been manymade its TV debut on the pay-cable network. To condense fifty years of Stones history must have been a daunting task for director Brett Morgen, who previously trained his lens on no less larger than life a figure than maverick producer Robert Evans in The Kid Stays in the Picture. So he very judiciously parsed what highs and lows to cover, and all but glossed over everything the Stones have done since 1981, the year they released what many consider to be their last great album, Tattoo You. "The audience will have to make up their own minds about how well it covers our history," Keith Richards told Hollywood.com at the film's U.S. premiere Tuesday night at New York City's Ziegfeld Theatre. "I can't make up mine, so I wish them luck."
Crossfire Hurricane is less a blow-by-blow account of Stones arcana than an experimental tone poem to their boundary-pushing personas as '60s provocateurs extraordinaire. During songs like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" Morgen splices clips of the band performing with period commercials and Vietnam war footage to show what exactly the Stones were implicitly in rebellion against: a complacent society that was both violent and sanctimonious. Thankfully, they're no "talking heads" trying to contextualize the rapid-fire images for us and say why the band was important. Instead, Morgen, acting more as a curator and editor than director, recorded over 80 hours of audio interviews with Mick Jagger, Richards, Ronnie Wood, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and Mick Taylor and played their commentary over found footage. "When Mick called me, he said he wanted me to make a movie," Morgen says. "And I said, 'You mean like a miniseries?' And he said, 'No, I want it to be a movie.'" Jagger himself had a generational statement in mind with Crossfire Hurricane. Introducing the film at the Ziegfeld premiere, Jagger, wearing a green velvet blazer, said after two standing ovations that he hoped the film would " take you back to a younger but perhaps not gentler America. An America where only IBM and the military had computers. Where there were no smartphones nor emails. A simpler America. An America where we didn't read other people's emails, so we didn't know if four-star generals were having affairs with their biographers."
Many of the clips in Crossfire Hurricane have appeared in previous Stones documentaries like Gimme Shelter or C***sucker Blues. But Morgen's collage aesthetic lets the different pieces of footage bounce off one another, mapping new connections among the songs, the fashions, the wild stage antics, the cartoonish egos, the messy personal lives, to make a statement about the Stones as a cracked-mirror reflection of the Baby Boomers' generational possibility. Having just made the serious mistake of attempting to interview drummer Charlie Watts and getting his reply of "I don't know" to every question I asked, it was heartening for me, as a journalist, to see a 1965 clip of Watts only answering "I don't know" to questions presented by a TV broadcaster.
As a filmmaker Moren seems interested in covering epochs in the band's creative life, not events. Much like how Al Reinert's For All Mankind imagined all seven manned moon missions as one grand adventure, Morgen projects a rock & roll continuum of hormonal sensation and experience for a time when moving your hips was still a political act. That's why it's named Crossfire Hurricane, after the opening line of "Jumpin' Jack Flash": "I was born in a crossfire hurricane " Morgen tells Hollywood.com, "The whole movie leads up to 'Jumpin' Jack Flash.' It represents a crescendo for the band after all the criticism they'd incurred from concerned parents, and certainly their drug bust. The whole film builds up to that song, in a way." The Stones may have recognized that you can't always get what you want, but they would fight to the death for your right to do what you want.
As for the Stones today, sadly none of their recent preparation for a rumored 50th anniversary world tour is included in the movie. "I filmed the rehearsals in Weehawken, New Jersey in May," Morgen says. "And those will be on the DVD. It's an image of the band that nobody's ever seen. We haven't glossed it up with a lot of big shiny lights and all. It's just raw. It's the band performing for themselves. I wanted it to end the film, but we're saving it for the DVD." Adding his two pence, Ronnie Wood, clutching an opened can of Red Bull agrees. "The music is so electrifying in that rehearsal. I can't wait for everyone to see it."
Did you catch Crossfire Hurricane last night? Where do you think it ranks among the all-time great Rolling Stones docs? And might you pick up the DVD for that new rehearsal footage alone?

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - A judge has just approved $37,254.46 for attorney John Parker, one of two lawyers for accused serial killer Anthony Sowell.
Parker says the money is for 8 months of legal services and some expenses related to preparing the case. It does not include money for Rufus Sims, Sowell's other attorney.
The case is already setting records for spending of your tax money to defend Sowell. Sowell's accused of killing eleven women.
We'll be developing the story later on 19 Action News.

Once again, Mermista gets my vote.
She-Ravers want to know who is NOW the drop dead most requested characters in POP on He-Man.org. Who is the next Frosta, Catra, Scorpia or Mermista? This will be like those "Sum all ______" threads. If your choice is new, start from 1.
Who will come out with the most votes? Will Mermista retain her title as Idol Champ? Will Glimmer or Scorpia be the champ this time? Madame Razz? Or will someone new be the next Idol?Adora, She-Ra, Bow, Filmation Swift Wind, Catra, Bubble Power She-Ra, Starla, Jewelstar, Tallstar, Glorybird, Frosta and Netossa are all exempt since we know they are coming or have already been made. You can however, vote for their variants or alternate costumes. This thread is to see who are the most popular and who we aren't too crazy about.
This is for characters who haven't been announced.
Filmation characters and Golden Book characters are now on the table upon acquiring the Filmation Rights! Watch out! Scorpia is coming!
Here are the other current Idol threads:
NA Idol 4
Beast Idol 2
The Rules: Remember, you can only vote for one character. If you miss reading this and choose multiple characters, I'll just chose the first character written. You can also change your vote over time...let me know.
I'll tally up the votes on each new page, so if you want to see who's winning, go to the last page. If I've missed someone or if I've missed anyone voting twice, let me know.
The character with the most votes wins, regardless if their figure is revealed or not.
POP Idol 1 Winner: FROSTA (She got a figure!)
POP Idol 2 Winner: FROSTA (She got a figure!)
POP Idol 3 Winner: FROSTA (She got a figure!)
POP Idol 4 Winner: MERMISTA
POP Idol 5 Winner: SCORPIA
Like the other current Idol threads, this ends when we learn of a new POP character in Classics.
I'll go first:
Castaspella +1
The Blonde Teela (Battleground and Alcala Teela) Thread
The Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn (The Real 200X Evil-Lyn) Thread
MegaGearMax's 200X/MYP Screen Grabs
Sagitar Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn 200X Prince Adam 200X Sorceress
Sssqueeze Angella Perfuma Evilseed (MYP)
Once again, Mermista gets my vote.
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
Glimmer!. It's insane that she's not been done yet she's the Man-at-Arms of POP and there's really no justification for her not been done this far into the line.
Queen Angella!
Its a really tough vote for me, but Im going to vote for Angella. She doesn´t get enough love and I think she has the potential to look pretty awesome in Classics.
Mermista, please.
I'll go with Castaspella.
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Night Stalker 3) Squeeeze 4) Roton 5) Multi-Bot 6) Dragstor 7) Saurod 8) Blast-Attak 9) Karg 10) Lodar 11) Mask of Power Demons 12) TC Skeletor 13) FF He-Man 14) Talon Fighter/Point Dread 15) Road Ripper 16) Lord Masque 17) Filmation Teela
After Netossa is announced... of course Spinnerella!
Yesterday when Netossa was announced i thought NO !!!! this should be Glimmer.
It´s nice that we get Netossa and in the original line Netossa got Peekablues buck/outfit it´s most likley we get Peekablue rather sooner than later anyway my vote this time goes to
She is one of the leader of the Great Rebellion!

Mermista for me.
Supporter of All Eras! Including "Son of He-Man"!
As much as I desperately want a figure of Scorpia...I'm voting for Angella.
My MOTUC top 10 wants (POST SDCC 2014):
Queen Angella - Hunga the Harpy - Peekablue - Toy Catra - Veena - Red Knight - Vultak - Dylamug - Sibyline - Kex Queen
Small creatures that need to happen: 3 main twiggets
Mermista is my choice!
2015 NA SUB (EXCLUSIVE: Darius)
-Weaponstronic, Tuskador, Kayo, Lizorr, Staghorn, Hoove
Top Ten MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Sssqueeze, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Peekablue, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Despara, Evil Seed (all era) w/Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah
I'll go with Glimmer as well. It's high time the PoP trio of leaders was completed...and that is coming from someone who has consistently voted for Mermista.
Last edited by bamf1980; July 14, 2012 at 04:08pm.
PoP Variants are part of the vintage line, too! Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, and Scratchin' Sound Catra for 2015!!!
We need to complete the core team (Adora/She-Ra, Bow, Glimmer) and maybe that will draw more excitement for the rest.
Funny Fan Fic: Meet the Rea-Por! (Heroic & Villainous Deaths) & The Mighty Spector's FIRST EVER FAN-FIC
& not so funny Fan Fic: War of Attrition
Trade feedback & WANTED: Bow/SLL style boots!
Honorable mention to Sea Hawk
I just published my very first ebook: Malediction! A short story of monsters and magic!
Buy it now on Amazon or Barnes and Noble!
Print version, also available!
Now that my typical vote is coming (yay netossa!), I have to go with:
Photog is here! thank you, Mattel!
Now how about some mini-comics love (like Lodar, Geldor, Dakon......)? And Mermista?
I'm a Glimmer Man! (not the Seagal movie)
(add one vote for Glimmer...)
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.

Grand Theft Auto 4 DLC Coming to PC, PS3Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto IV's two downloadable content packs 'The Ballad of Gay Tony' and 'The Lost and Damned' will hit PC and PS3 in March.
As on Xbox 360, the pair will be available as individual downloadable content packs for GTA IV or in a standalone retail double-pack 'Episode From Liberty City.'
The Lost and Damned hit Xbox 360 in February 2009 with a tale of Libery City biker gang 'The Lost' then nightlife-focused 'Gay Tony' followed in October--an exclusivity period which cost Microsoft $50 million. The PC DLC release was hinted at in November when a GTA IV patch added the achievements from The Lost and Damned.
All will be released on March 30. Pricing has yet to be announced, though for reference the packs cost $20 each on Xbox 360 while Episodes from Liberty City was $40.

There are a lot of different ways a movie can be great.
Maybe the script is exceptional or it's filled with outstanding acting by a stellar cast. Maybe it has innovative direction, lush music or cinematography so breathtaking that you can't take your eyes off the screen. Maybe it possesses a combination of all these things.
Sometimes, though, a movie can be great just because it makes you laugh yourself stupid.
And so I give you: Major League.
The Cleveland Indians are terrible – that set up required less of a suspension of disbelief in 1989, before the Tribe went to two World Series in the 90s and stayed competitive since – and getting worse. When the owner dies, his trophy wife, Rachel Phelps [Margaret Whitton], inherits the team and schemes to move it to Miami – again, this is 1989, before the Marlins existed. She has found a clause in the lease with the city that allows the team to go if attendance drops too low.
So she attempts to put together a roster that is truly terrible. The list of players she wants to invite to Spring Training is all but a joke. "This guy's dead," says one front-office flack, to which Phelps flippantly replies, "Cross him off then."
She collects a misfit, motley bunch to make up her roster. It's the Hollywood formula of gathering an ensemble. The unknown quantity who appears out of nowhere is Willie Mays Hayes, paralleled in casting relative newcomer Wesley Snipes, who dazzles everyone at just the right moment. Roger Dorn [Corbin Bernsen] is the entitled prima donna who finally comes through when his teammates need him most. Future president [24] and insurance pitchman Dennis Haysbert is virtually unrecognizable as Cuban defector and voodoo aficionado Pedro Cerrano, who finally hits the curve ball and gets Jobu that refill.
The once-great, seemingly washed-up, grizzled veteran seeking a last shot at glory takes the form of Jake Taylor [Tom Berenger]. The erstwhile All-Star has languished in the Mexican League and must will his aging body to make one more go-round. That applies to both baseball and life as he attempts to rekindle his lost romance with Lynn [Rene Russo].
And then there's Rick Vaughn, whose redemption is a little more literal after playing in the California Penal League. After two dramatic turns for director Oliver Stone [Platoon and Wall Street], Charlie Sheen shows a lot more of his Tiger Blood as Vaughn. He's too wild on and off the mound yet finds his control to save the team in the end. Together, they all end up #Winning.
Look, this film is not Citizen Kane but it's not supposed to be. It's writer/director David S. Ward giving us 107 minutes of silliness, but it's epic silliness with some of the most quotable lines in recent history. This is one of those that, if I land on it while I am flipping channels, I simply must watch it. Despite the real-life Indians improvement, the film holds up really well after a quarter century. That's right, Major League came out almost 25 years ago… when I was in high school… and that makes me feel old.
I didn't believe ol' Eddie Harris [Chelcie Ross] when he told me that I would eventually need to put snot on the ball.
I do now.
Someday you will, too.
I've got a guy on the other line about a set of white-walls; I'll talk to you later.

The Lucas County Sheriff's Office says a man accused of pretending to be a deputy on the force has been taken into custody.

According to police Steward had been telling business that he is a deputy with the Lucas County Sheriff's Office and asking for donations. Once he received the money, he provided a false donor receipt, according to the sheriff's office.
