"Favrile" is derived from the Latin word "fabrilis", meaning "made by hand". Favrile glass is produced by exposing molten glass to a series of fumes and metallic oxides that infuse it with glowing colors and an exciting iridescence. It was a major breakthrough for Louis Comfort Tiffany, surpassing even the best of the 13th Century glasswork. He used Favrile glass with its magnificent iridescent colors in all of his windows, lamps, vases, and mosaics.
Dale Tiffany's Favrile Collection of uniquely hand crafted art glass continues this historic tradition. By adhering to the same standard of excellence demanded by Tiffany of his own studio, our Hand Blown art glass is created to blend perfectly with today's home fashion trends and lifestyles.

For proper cleaning of this product, use a soft dry cloth only. Do not use oils, polishes, abrasives, or soap.
Please Note: Favrile decorative art glass is created by artisans using a time-honored technique. These beautiful handmade creations feature iridescent colors embedded into the glass, resulting in distinctive characteristics that are unique to each piece. No two are exactly alike!

Two of the top backcourts in the Big East will square off Saturday afternoon when UConn visits No. 17 Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind.
Notre Dame coach Mike Brey called his junior duo of Eric Atkins and Jerian Grant the best backcourt in the country.
"I don't feel there's any backcourt better than them," Brey said. "They're as good as any of them out there the way they've been playing. I think they've been a little under the radar for a lot of reasons. Their efficiency right now with what they've been doing on the offensive end is flat out off the charts.
"The reason that I say that so confidently about them is the improved defenders that they've become. Their bodies are stronger. They've gotten older and stronger. They were both leaner guys when they got here, and their ability to guard strong guards in our league, and we have a lot of strong ones, and we've got two of them coming in here on Saturday."
Let's compare the two backcourts from a statistical standpoint.
Atkins and Grant combine to average 23.9 points, 12.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds while leading the Fighting Irish to a 14-1 overall record.
UConn junior Shabazz Napier and sophomore Ryan Boatright combine to average 33.6 points, 8.5 assists and 7.3 rebounds while guiding the Huskies to an 11-3 start.
In just the last four games, they've averaged 38.3 points, 10.3 assists and 9.8 rebounds.
As you'd expect, UConn associate head coach Glen Miller had no trouble picking his best guard combination.
"We think they're up there with the best backcourt in the country, without a doubt," Miller said of UConn's duo. "I can see why coach Brey said his backcourt is one of the best.
"We wouldn't trade our backcourt for anybody's backcourt in the country. They're the key to our success. Were continuing to evolve and improve as a team. Now Shabazz and Ryan are learning each and every day to manage the game and make their team better."
It will be interesting to watch them battle on Saturday.
"It's a great match-up," Brey said.

Natalie [31] DH [40] 9/01, 1/06 NaturallyNatalie's Hair Accessories!
Seriously. And the girl in my office that I posted about in the "Am I awful" thread, keeps coming into my office to steal any food I have. And she keeps saying "Peanut wants some" first of all.... she's being ridiculous... but it's also a constant reminder that she accidentally got a gift I'm dying to have. UUUH!
LOL, deleting my debbie-downer post !!
Last edited by kellyowens; 03-21-2013 at 12:58 PM.
AF has left the building...let the 2ww to O begin !
I'm hoping it'll go by fast...we have optometrist appts, orthodontist appts, my RE appt, Easter, dentist appts, and the closing on the other house
Eta...FF gave me 3 predicted fertile days and 5 predicted possible ovulation days this cycle...is that typical?
Last edited by kellyowens; 03-21-2013 at 04:55 PM.
Woo! And lol- hope that keeps you busy enough!!!!
Last night DH and I talked about for sure when we want to start trying for a baby. He wants a summery baby and does not want another Jan baby haha. We will probably start in June and not take any time off in August like we had planned and hoping that it doesnt take to long. Of course AF is not regular since I'm still BFing and I really want to get my DD weaned soon. Yet at the same time I'm not even sure how to wean her considering DS weaned himself.
Hope all of you trying now get that Christmas baby!
Rach I cant wait to hear your good news next month
Brandi...how exciting! Praying you get a bfp quickly and your stay here is short and sweet
I'm wondering if bfing is still preventing my fertility too even though my cycles are regular and I'm ovulating based on my chart. This is only our 3rd cycle trying so I'm not worried yet, lol, although I do get occasion moments of panic thinking my fertility is gone forever but that's just me being hormonally irrational .
To pass the time until AF comes and we start this new cycle and to get me through all the waiting to O and 2 week wait I am working extra hard at my weight loss efforts. I have been hard at it this year but slacked the past couple weeks so back at it now. My sister joined the Y and has been going with me so it's nice to have a buddy even though I am a little ahead of her and feel like I have to hold back a little to help her keep up right now.
Got a solid smiley face on my digital ovulation tests... DH and I bd'd when he got home from work plus I have the WHOLE weekend off (I don't normally get Saturdays and Sunday's off working at a busy mall) so we will bd the next few days!!! Trying to remain optimistic about this month! For me and for all of you! We need to help Karen fill up that December dd room
Woohoo! Good luck!!
I'm in cd double digits, lol, I know it's not a huge milestone but every little celebration helps ! I don't o until ~cd22 so I have a while to go still.
I'm feeling a lot more relaxed this cycle. I think it was jarring to me the last two times I oed to not have gotten pg...that's never happened before (yeah, I know, boohoo for me, lol, ). O has always meant pg but pg hasn't always meant a baby-for-keeps. Charting is helping...I really like having the visual of what my body is doing. Having the re appt scheduled has made me feel better about this cycle too...even if it doesn't result in a pg I at least have a dr who can eventually help if I end up having a harder time conceiving.
I'm looking forward to being beyond the initial re appt though and hoping he's neither too aggressive or too hand's-off
Yay for double digit cycle days Kelly!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Thanks Jessie !!
As I was thinking about questions I want to ask the re I was reflecting a bit. I can't believe I'm already on my 3rd cycle ttc...the days go by so slowly yet the months are going by fast. I appreciate you ladies so much...you've been so encouraging and supportive. It has made ttc so much more tolerable on a daily basis and keeps me from becoming irrational and losing perspective !

Abyss Odyssey review
A skull-faced demon who plays the violin, tree monsters, and a winged lion with a mouthful of eyeballs spout from the nightmares of a warlock sleeping deep beneath the Chilean capital of Santiago. Much like ACE Team's Zeno Clash and Rock of Ages, Abyss Odyssey takes its imaginative setting and character design to the edge of madness and creates a world that is a pleasure to be weirded out by. But unlike those games, where the presentation was matched with equally creative gameplay, Abyss Odyssey feels like an ill-conceived mishmash of better fighting and platforming games.

Presenter: Ed Heisler, Executive Director, Men As Peacemakers; Co-Coordinator, Minnesota Men's Action Network (MN-MAN): Alliance to Prevent Sexual and Domestic Violence
Description: For many college students, parties and college are like books and classes. They just go together. Students come to college to earn a degree, but college parties are an integral part of the recreational and social experience. Unfortunately, though, parties frequently include domination, disrespect, or use of sexual or physical violence against women. This can devastate individuals and negatively impact the entire campus community. The reality is that men are responsible for most of these damaging behaviors, and women are left to deal with party environments that become uncomfortable and dangerous. The party scene, however, does not have to be overshadowed by discomfort, fear, and violence against women. Men As Peacemakers, through its MN-MAN programming, has worked with students to create the BEST Party Model—an innovative approach to sexual assault prevention on college campuses. BEST involves college men and women in shaping safe, respectful, and fun party environments that will help prevent sexual violence. This webinar will provide an introduction to the BEST Party Model, and explain what students are doing to create Party Revolution to prevent sexual violence.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand factors that contribute to a campus environments across the country where an average of 1 in 5 women experience an attempted or completed rape.
- Describe the importance of college party environments as a platform for the primary prevention of sexual and domestic violence.
- Define a primary prevention strategy allowing individuals to shape social environments, including parties, to prevent sexual and domestic violence.
- Define how the BEST Party Model anchors an innovative, campus-wide strategy, to promote gender equity and prevent sexual and domestic violence.

Goals: MAVEN (Mars Atmospheric and Volatile EvolutioN) will obtain critical measurements of the Martian atmosphere to help understand dramatic climate change on the Red Planet over its history. MAVEN will provide information on how, and how, fast atmospheric gases are being lost to space today, and infer from those detailed studies what happened in the past. Studying how the Martian atmosphere was lost to space can reveal clues about the impact that change had on the Martian climate, geologic and geochemical conditions over time, all of which are important in understanding whether Mars had an environment able to support life.
Accomplishments: On 18 November 2013 (1:28 p.m. EST) the MAVEN spacecraft began its 10-month journey to Mars orbit, launching aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

I can't get this now in Japan - but you guys should look for it in the US. It is a great value wine - probably mid teens and a cool, squat shaped bottle. I have only had the rouge which is a grenache, mourvedre etc blend from the Provence area, but know they make a rose for sure and maybe some white.
A great organic wine
I also hear they make incredible olive oil - not sure of the distribution on that

IMS Milestones: 1906-1911
Nov. 15, 1906: A letter from American entrepreneur Carl Fisher appears in Motor Age magazine, touting the need for a 3- to 5-mile test track in America. Fisher states the idea "has been a hobby of mine for the past three years."
Dec. 12, 1908: By this date, Fisher associate Lem Trotter has secured the options to buy the four adjoining 80-acre tracts of farmland northwest of the city on which the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be built.
Feb. 8, 1909: The Aero Club of America announces from New York that the Grand Prize event, the U.S. National Balloon Championships, has been awarded to Indianapolis and that it will take place June 5 at the "Indiana Motor Parkway," which will later be called the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Indianapolis has outbid St. Louis for the event. Also, recent announcements indicate that the track is trying to land the FAM (Federation of American Motorcyclists) races, which normally have been held on the East Coast in July.
March 1, 1909: The dimensions of the planned track have been changed. The first draft called for a 3-mile "outer" course, which could, if so chosen, be linked up with a 2-mile road course through the infield to combine for a 5-mile lap. It has now been decided to reduce the "outer" course to 2.5 miles and increase the optional road course section to 2.5 miles so that the combined lap will still be 5 miles. The drawback to the 3-mile course was that, while it would certainly fit onto the available property, there would be no room for grandstands on the outsides of the straights. By leaving the four turns at exactly 440 yards each from entrance to exit, and reducing the length of the straights, a 2.5-mile outer track could be produced, allowing for grandstands on the outside.
March 9, 1909: Driver Lewis Strang, on his way from Chicago to Daytona Beach, Fla., stops in Indianapolis and is taken to visit the site of the "motor parkway," which will soon be known as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He poses for a photo which, almost 100 years later, will be titled "The Vision." The major work has not yet begun, but an 8-foot-long scale miniature of the 2.5-mile rectangular-shaped oval sits at the southeast corner of the property so that passersby on the Crawfordsville Pike (later West 16th Street) can see what is planned.
March 11, 1909: The Indianapolis Sun (later The Indianapolis Times) makes reference to the track as the "Indianapolis motor speedway," rather than the "motor parkway," using a lowercase "m" for "motor" and a lowercase "s" for "speedway."
March 20, 1909: The articles of incorporation of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Company (rather than corporation) are signed, and the company is officially formed. Although the papers were due to be filed Feb. 8, for reasons unknown the articles are not signed by all parties until March 20.
End of March 1909: Grading work begins to convert the IMS Company's property from farmland to a 2.5-mile oval. King Brothers of Montezuma, Ind., has been awarded the contract for grading and New York-based engineer P. T. Andrews has been hired as superintendent of construction.
June 5, 1909: On this Saturday afternoon, the Speedway plays host to its first competitive event, the Aero Club of America's U.S. National Balloon Championships, while construction of the 2.5-mile oval continues.
Aug. 13, 1909: The first of two scheduled days of motorcycle racing is completely rained out.
Aug. 14, 1909: The rescheduled first day of motorcycle competition is severely hampered by the terrible condition of the track surface, which is a mixture of crushed rock and tar. Many riders refuse to compete. The 10-event program is reduced to eight, of which only seven are held, while the second day, rescheduled for Monday, Aug. 16, is canceled completely. A. G. Chapple beats six other riders in the opening 5-mile handicap on Saturday. With the cancellation of event number 8, the 10-lap, 25-mile FAM championship event for professionals, the final race of the day ends up being the four-lap 10-mile amateur championship won by E.G. Baker, who in a few years will gain considerable fame as the legendary perennial transcontinental record-breaker "Cannon Ball" Baker.
Aug. 19, 1909: Three days of automobile racing, totaling 18 events, kick off with a two-lap, standing-start event won by Louis Schwitzer, who will later achieve fame as an industrialist. Other races are won by Louis Chevrolet and Ray Harroun. In the final event of the day, the 250-mile race for the Prest-O-Lite trophy, Billy Borque, who won a race earlier in the day, is fatally injured along with his riding mechanic.
Aug. 21, 1909: After a relatively problem-free day two, the third day ends in disaster when the 300-mile race for the $10,000 Wheeler-Schebler trophy is halted due to accidents at the 235-mile mark. The regrettable loss of life over the three days amounts to one driver, two riding mechanics and two spectators. The track surface obviously is inadequate, and management quickly meets to seek a solution.
Sept. 18, 1909: Shortly after the decision is made to resurface the track with street-paving bricks, workmen unload two railcars of bricks from the Peoria & Eastern Railway station across from the IMS main entrance. The bricks are transported into the grounds via horse and cart, and work soon commences on laying down the 3.2 million of them. About 90 percent of the bricks, known as "Culver Blocks" for patent holder Ruben Culver, come from the Wabash Clay Company in Veedersburg, Ind., while the balance comes from nearby subcontractors.
Dec. 10, 1909: The brick-paving job is completed, 63 days after work began. Even before the work is done, locals have nicknamed the track "The Brickyard."
Dec. 17, 1909: Despite 10-degree temperatures, Indiana Gov. Thomas R. Marshall dedicates the new surface by placing a "gold" brick (actually gold-plated brass) in the track. Newell Motsinger, driving an Empire, is the first to take an official time trial.
Dec 18, 1909: With temperatures only a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday, Lewis Strang braves the cold and laps the track at 91.81 mph, covering the flying mile at 111.8.
May 27, 1910: The first day of a three-day meet gets underway, with Louis Chevrolet winning the first of 10 planned races, a 5-mile dash, in a Buick entry.
May 28, 1910: Ray Harroun wins the 200-mile Wheeler-Schebler Trophy race. An estimated 25,000 attend the day's events.
May 30, 1910: Approximately 50,000 spectators crowd into IMS for the final day of the three-day meet, many being forced into the infield because the grandstands are full. Ray Harroun wins the 50-mile race for the Remy Grand Brassard trophy - exactly one year to the day before he will win the inaugural Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. Ironically, Harroun has escaped injury in a hard crash earlier in the day, in a Marmon "Wasp" carrying the No. 32 - the same number as his "500"-winning entry will be a year from now. Everyone seems happy with the new surface as, other than for one broken leg, there are no serious injuries.
June 13, 1910: The National Aviation Meet gets underway at IMS, featuring world-famous pioneers of flight Orville and Wilbur Wright.
June 17, 1910: Walter Brookins, a member of the "Wright Flyers," sets an international altitude record by achieving a height of 4,938 feet during the National Aviation Meet. Brookins beats his own previous record of 4,187 feet, set earlier in the week at IMS.
July 1-2 and 4, 1910: Additional races take place at IMS, but crowds are significantly lower due to an ongoing heat wave and holiday activities around the area. Controversy will envelop events several weeks later, as sanctioning body AAA disqualifies the cars entered as Buick-Marquettes because they do not qualify as "stock" automobiles.
Sept. 3 and 5, 1910: The final auto races of 1910 are held, the scheduled three-day meet being shortened to two. Ray Harroun wins 5-mile sprints on both days, while Johnny Aitken wins the finale on Sept. 5, a 200-miler, in a National. Holiday activities, including a huge parade downtown, hold Monday's crowd to about 18,000, causing management to reconsider its options for 1911. While the private testing by automobile companies has been flourishing, perhaps too much racing has been offered.
Sept. 6, 1910: Local newspapers reveal that IMS management is considering a single major racing event for 1911, featuring a huge purse, in the range of $30,000. The founders initially discuss a 1,000-mile or 24-hour race, but as the papers report a few days later, they settle on a 500-mile event to take place on Memorial Day 1911.
Sept. 17, 1910: The National Balloon Championships return to IMS. Nine balloons qualify for the championship race, and four compete in a "Free-for-All" race.
May 30, 1911: The first Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, initially named the "International Sweepstakes," is won by Ray Harroun at an average speed of 74.602 mph. Except during America's involvement in World Wars I and II, the Indianapolis 500 will be an annual event from now on. Almost a century later, many historians will look back on this event as perhaps the first to feature the use of a pace car, and they will also credit Harroun's Marmon "Wasp" as the first automobile to use a rearview mirror.

Bile is a greenish substance produced by the cells of the liver (hepatocytes) which aids in the digestion of fats. It emulsifies fats, causing the fats to accumulate into droplets which can be easily absorbed in the small intestine. It also aids in the absorption of so call fat soluble vitamins, vitamins A, D, E and K. Bile is also the way the body disposes of hemoglobin from old red blood cells which are no longer functional. This is what makes bile green and stool brown. Once hepatocytes have made bile it is transported to the duodenum, the segment of small intestine right after the stomach, where it is secreted through a small hole known as the Ampulla of Vater. It can then form droplets with fat exiting the stomach. The bile also goes to the gallbladder where it can be stored.
The network of ducts which transport the bile is known as the biliary system. This system can be broken down into several sections. The first section is comprised of the ducts which are inside of the liver, also known as the intrahepatic ducts. Small bile ductules in the liver combine with each other to form larger ducts known as intrahepatic bile ducts. The liver can be grossly divided into two lobes, the left and the right. As the intrahepatic ducts combine with each other they form two large ducts known as the right and left hepatic ducts. The left and right hepatic ducts come together to form the common hepatic duct.
The segment of ducts immediately outside of the liver is known as the perihilar ducts. The gallbladder sits on the underside of the liver and the cystic duct delivers bile into and out of the gallbladder. As the common hepatic duct exits the liver it connects with the cystic duct to form the common bile duct. The common bile duct enters the pancreas and combines with the pancreatic duct and secretions from both the pancreas and the common bile duct exit into the duodenum through the ampulla of Vater. These areas of ductal system are known as the distal biliary tree.
Cholangiocarcinoma is the name given to cancers of the bile duct. They arise from the epithelial cells which line the bile ducts. Generally, cholangiocarcinomas arise from the intrahepatic (within the liver), perhilar (just outside of the liver) and distal bile ducts. Cholangiocarcinomas excludes cancers which arise from the Ampulla of Vater and the gallbladder. The majority of tumors arise from the perihilar region, which represent 60 to 70% of all cholangiocarcinomas. About 25% arise from the distal ductal system and 5-10% from the intrahepatic ductal system. Cholangiocarcinomas that involve the area where the right and left ducts meet to form the common bile duct have a special name (Klatskin tumors).
Cholangiocarcinomas are rare tumors. They occur in about one to two people per 100,000 and represent approximately 3% of all gastrointestinal cancers. It is estimated that approximately 18,500 primary liver cancers were diagnosed in the US in 2006 and of these; approximately 15% of them were intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. There are approximately 2000-3000 cases of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma a year. However, there is data that suggests that the incidence of cholangiocarcinomas is slowing rising. Cholangiocarcinoma can be further classified histologically (What type of tumor cells are seen when the tumor is examined microscopically). Adenocarcinomas arise from glandular tissue and are the most common type of cholangiocarcinoma, making up 95% of cholangiocarcinomas.
As with most cancers, increasing age has been linked with cholangiocarcinoma. Additionally, obesity, hepatitis and people with a family history of the disease may be at increased risk. Medical conditions which have been linked to cholangiocarcinoma include primary sclerosing cholangitis, ulcerative colitis, choledochal cysts and biliary infections, such as in typhoid carriers. Chemical exposures to nitrosamines, dioxin, asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls have also been linked to cholangiocarcinoma.
There are not any guidelines on how to prevent cholangiocarcinomas. However, decreasing exposure to the above mentioned chemicals and getting vaccinated against viruses which cause hepatitis, such as the Hepatitis B virus may help prevent cholangiocarcinoma.
Screening tests are used to detect diseases in patients without symptoms. Currently, there are no tests which have been shown to be effective in screening for cholangiocarcinoma. There is not a specific blood test which can detect cholangiocarcinoma. However, there are blood tests which can be used to help detect several different types of cancer and their use in detecting cholangiocarcinomas is currently being tested. One such blood test detects a protein known as Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA). This protein is usually associated with fetal development, but has also been shown to be elevated in people with certain types of cancer, most often colon cancer, but it has also be found to be elevated in some lung, breast, pancreas and ovarian cancers. However, other non-cancer medical conditions such as cirrhosis, infection, pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease can also cause a positive result. Smoking is also known to increase blood levels of CEA. A normal CEA varies from laboratory to laboratory, but in a non-smoker 3 ng/ml is generally normal and in a smoker 5 ng/ml is generally normal. Recent studies in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) found that CEA could be used to help detect cholangiocarcinoma but was not highly accurate. It was able to detect 68% percent of cases of cholangiocarcinoma in people with PSC but it also detected cholangiocarcinoma in 18% of people with PSC who did not actually have cholangiocarcinoma.
Another blood test, Cancer Antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), has also been studied. Elevated levels of CA 19-9 are most commonly found in people with pancreatic cancer, though it can also be elevated in colon and stomach cancers. Other non-cancer medical conditions, such as cirrhosis, pancreatitis, cholangitis, and gallstones can also cause an elevated CA 19-9. Studies have investigated the use of CA 19-9 in detecting cholangiocarcinoma however there have been several problems. It has been difficult to determine how high a CA 19-9 needs to be in order to indicate if a cancer is present. Part of what causes this difficulty is that cholangitis, which is infection of the bile ducts, and biliary stasis, which is caused by blockage of the bile ducts, can be associated with both benign medical conditions and cholangiocarcinoma. Hence, in studies people who do not have active cholangitis or biliary stasis, a cut off of 37 U/ml has been used. However, in people with active cholangitis or biliary stasis a cutoff of 300-400 U/ml has been used. Currently, the best use for CA 19-9 may not be as a screening test for cholangiocarcinoma but rather as a way to check if the disease is responding to treatments. There are also studies underway to use the results from both the CEA and the CA 19-9 tests to screen people at high risk for cholangiocarcinoma, such as in people with PSC.
There are several imaging studies used once the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma is suspected, however none of these imagining studies has been found to be an effective screening tool.
The majority of the symptoms from cholangiocarcinoma arise from obstruction of the biliary tree by the tumor. Symptoms include painless jaundice and abdominal pain, particularly in the right upper portion of the abdomen. Pruritis, or itching, commonly occurs with jaundice as well as weight loss. Fever can also be a presenting sign due to infection of the biliary tree (cholangitis). People may also notice that their stool appears gray or clay colored and that their urine appears darker.
Other signs that may be found during physical examination include enlargement of the liver, also known as hepatomegaly. Less commonly, a mass can be felt in the right upper part of the abdomen in the area of the liver. Rarely, because the tumor can block the bile ducts, the gallbladder can be enlarged and felt during examination.
Generally, cholangiocarcinomas are not detected until people become symptomatic from them. The signs of cholangiocarcinoma are described above and most are caused by the tumor obstructing the biliary tree.
If cholangiocarcinoma is suspected, several imaging studies can be used to identify the tumor. Ultrasound imaging can be used to detect the tumor. Ultrasound use sound waves to imaging the biliary tree and see if there are any abnormalities. Ultrasound technology can also be combined with a flexible camera, known as an endoscope. Endoscopic ultrasound is performed with the camera entering through the mouth and going into the small intestine where it can be placed close to the tumor. The ultrasound can then be used to determine the size of the tumor and depth to which the tumor has invaded into tissue. Ultrasounds can also be used with a laparoscope, which is a camera that can be inserted into the abdominal cavity through a small hole in the abdomen. The ultrasound is placed near the tumor and is used to determine tumor size and depth. During an endoscopy or laparoscopy, instruments can be used to take a sample of tissue which can be used to confirm that the tumor is cholangiocarcinoma.
A special endoscopic technique, known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can be used to find blockages in the bile ducts, which may be related to cholangiocarcinomas compressing the ducts. Similar to a normal endoscopy, a small camera on a tube is inserted through the mouth and moved to the point where it reached where bile drains into the small intestine (The Ampulla of Vater). A small tube is placed in the Ampulla of Vater, where the bile duct drains in the intestine, and dye is injected into the biliary tree. This dye is visible on X-ray and can reveal areas which are blocked. During ERCP a small brush can be inserted into the bile ducts and used to brush the inside of the ducts. Cells from this brushing are collected and can be used to identify cells from cholangiocarcinoma. Brushings can detect cholangiocarcinomas between 35-70% of the time.
Another way to visualize the biliary tree is through the use of a cholangiography. In this study, enlarged biliary ducts are found using ultrasound. A needle is inserted through the skin into the dilated biliary duct. A dye which will show up on X-ray is injected and allows the location of obstructions that may be caused by cholangiocarcinoma.
There are several modalities which can be used to image the main tumor and to check for possible spreads to other organs (metastasis). These imaging modalities allow the physician to see the extent of the disease and determine its stage, which aids the physician in determining the best course of treatment. CT scans uses X-rays to take multiple images along the length of a person, then puts the slices together again to make a 3D image. CT's can also be used to determine if cancer has spread to lymph nodes as well as to guide biopsies. Oral contrast, which is a liquid, is often given prior to the study to improve imaging of the intestine. To better visualize blood vessels and the tumor IV contrast may also be given.
MRI's can also be used to create 3D images of the body to determine the size of the tumor and if it has spread. IV dye can also be used to allow better imaging of the blood vessels and tumor. MRI's have some advantages compared with CT scans for imaging of the biliary tree. A special type of MRI, an MRI cholangiogram, can be performed to visualize the biliary tree. This study provides information similar to what a cholangiogram can provide in a non-invasive fashion.
PET scans can also be used to detect if disease has spread. PET can also sometimes be used as a means to differentiate a benign mass from one that is cancerous. Because cancers tend to grow rapidly and use more energy, they tend to take up more sugar (glucose). By radioactively labeling glucose and injecting it into the person being scanning, areas of high glucose uptake on can identified, which are suspicious for tumor spread.
A more recent technique, cholangioscopy, takes advantage of the further miniaturization of cameras. An endoscope is used to find the Ampulla of Vater. A smaller scope is then fed through the larger scope and passed into the Ampulla of Vater and into the biliary tree. Through this smaller scope obstructions can be visualized and biopsies can be taken.
By determining how much tissue the tumor has invaded and if it has spread to other organs allows the physician to determine the stage of the cholangiocarcinoma. This information is important in determining which treatments are necessary to optimally treat the tumor.
Stage 0: Stage 0 cholangiocarcinomas only involve the lining of the bile ducts and have not spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
Stage I: Cholangiocarcinomas which invade the bile duct (stage Ia) or which have penetrated through the bile duct (stage Ib), but have not spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
Stage II: The tumor has invaded into adjacent organs, such as the liver, gallbladder or pancreas or if the tumor has invaded a branch of the portal vein or hepatic (liver) artery. Additionally, people who have disease which involve lymph nodes near the bile ducts are considered to have Stage II disease.
Stage III: Tumor which has invaded adjacent organs, such as the colon, stomach, duodenum or abdominal wall. Disease which invades the main portal vein, both branches of the main portal vein or the main common hepatic artery are also considered stage III disease.
Stage IV: Tumor which has spread to other distant organs.
Surgery: The only curative treatment for cholangiocarcinoma is surgery. However, there are several restrictions on which people are eligible for surgery. There are several large blood vessels which travel next to the common bile duct, namely the hepatic artery and portal vein. Generally, if these vessels are surrounded by tumor, surgery is not possible, though at some centers surgery will be attempted with reconstruction of the removed blood vessels. If the tumor has grown into the liver or metastasis form in the liver, surgery is generally not considered. If tumor has spread to the lymph nodes or to the abdominal cavity, surgery is also contraindicated. Intrahepatic (tumors within the liver) and perihilar tumors (tumors near the liver) are difficult to resect completely, with tumor free surgical margins obtained in only 20 to 40% of surgeries. Tumors that develop further from the liver have slightly higher rates of complete resection with about a 50% rate of tumor free margins. Margins involved with tumor indicate that a portion of tumor has been left behind and increases the risk of a recurrence of the cancer. Often, prior to the operation, it is not completely clear whether the tumor is resectable or not, even with thorough tumor imaging, and the surgeon will decide whether or not to proceed with the tumor resection during the surgery. Alternatively the surgeon may perform a laparoscopic examination using a small camera to look inside the abdominal cavity to determine if surgery is possible.
Intrahepatic (tumors with the liver) tumors are generally treated with resection of the tumor, which can require the removal of an entire lobe of the liver. Perihilar (tumors near the liver) tumors often require resection of a portion of the liver, bile duct, and gallbladder. Additionally, the removal of part of the pancreas and small intestine are also sometimes required. Due to the complexity of this surgery, serious complication rates can be as high as 25-45%. Distal tumors (those located further from the liver) can generally be treated with resection of a portion of the small bowel or pancreas. All three of these operations are extensive and require an experienced team of surgeons to perform.
Unresectable Cholangiocarcinoma: Up to 50-90% of people with cholangiocarcinomas will have tumors which are unresectable when they are diagnosed. Cholangiocarcinomas grow along the various sections of the biliary tree and can prevent the bile from draining properly from the liver and gallbladder. In people who are unable to undergo surgical resection of the tumor, the primary goal of treatment is preventing blockage of the biliary tree. When the biliary tree is blocked people can develop jaundice, which occurs when the bile is unable to drain properly and builds up in the blood. This can cause the skin and eyes to turn yellow, severe itching, and pain. A stent can be placed in 70-90% of cases. Metal stents are preferred because they are able to keep ducts open longer, but plastic stents are easier to adjust. Stents are usually placed using an endoscopic scope. An endoscopic scope is a camera at the end of a long tube that can be maneuvered into the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine. Small tools can then be used to insert a small stent, made of metal or plastic, into the ampulla of Vater . The stent can then be moved up the bile duct to where the blockage is. Alternatively, a small hole can be made in the skin and into the liver. Small instruments can then be inserted into the blocked hepatic duct and a stent can be maneuvered into the proper location. A problem which can occur is when tumor grows into the stent causing another blockage at the same spot in the bile duct. Radiation can be used to prevent this from occurring. Surgical bypass of the blocked portion of the biliary ducts can also be done during an exploratory surgery when the tumor is found to be unresectable to prevent jaundice. This involves connecting the portion of the bile duct before the obstruction with a portion of the bile duct beyond the obstruction. This type of procedure allows drainage of the bile alleviating the symptoms of jaundice. Studies have suggested that biliary stenting is as effective as surgical bypass in providing relief from obstructive jaundice 6. Therefore, in most cases where imaging studies, such as CT scans show unresectable disease, stent placement with an endoscopic scope is preferred.
Liver Transplantation: Liver transplantation for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma is being performed at a few major cancer centers at present. This involves the complete removal of the liver and bile ducts with transplantation of a donor liver. The best results have been published in a recent study of people with relatively well localized cholangiocarcinomas (Ones that have not spread). Prior to transplantation all patients were treated with radiation and chemotherapy. Ultimately only about half of patients in this study were able to undergo transplantation. This study had extremely good results with survival rates of 88% at one year and 82% at 5 years. However, other studies have shown worse results with transplantation and this remains an area of treatment which requires further study.
Radiation: After surgery several treatments can be given to decrease the chances of a tumor recurrence. If the surgeon suspects that there are positive tumor margins, radiation treatments can be used. Radiation's role as an additional treatment in tumors which have been completely resected is unclear, with studies indicating that it is beneficial and other suggesting that it may be harmful. Radiation can be given externally using a machine called a linear accelerator or internally using a technique known as brachytherapy. External beam radiation delivers radiation uses radiation which is similar to that used in X-ray machines used for a chest X-rays and various other diagnostic studies. However, the energy of the radiation used in linear accelerators is higher. In brachytherapy, a catheter, which is a flexible tube placed in the area where the tumor was, is used. A radioactive source can travel down the catheter to the area where the tumor was/is and treat that specific area with radiation. In inoperable cholangiocarcinoma after stent placement, brachytherapy has been shown to increase the length that stents remain patent. The radiation prevents tumor cells from growing into the stent and blocking it.
Side effects from external beam radiation include skin irritation with redness, nausea and fatigue. Side effects from brachytherapy are generally mild. Potentially serious side effects from brachytherapy include cholangitis (infection of the bile ducts), stricture formation (scarring of the bile duct leading to obstruction), and ulcer formation in the intestine.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy can be broken down into two categories; systemic, meaning that dispersed throughout the body, and local therapy, where chemotherapy is delivered specifically to the area with cancer. Chemotherapy has been used in combination with surgery. Chemotherapeutics such as 5-FU and Mitomycin C have been used after surgery but they have not been shown to improve survival compared with having surgery alone. Chemotherapy combined with radiation has shown promise in some phase II trials, but there have not been large trials to prove its effectiveness. Other chemotherapies which have been used to treat cholangiocarcinoma include gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, cisplatin, and doxorubicin. Various combination of chemotherapy have also been used and there are ongoing studies to determine the best combination. Side effects from chemotherapy vary with the technique used to administer it (local versus systemic) and the type of chemotherapy used.
Localized chemotherapy is generally given through a thin tube that is fed into one of the arteries of the liver. The tube is fed into the arteries that supply the tumor and chemotherapy is administered through the artery to the tumor. This direct treatment can limit side effects from the chemotherapy.
Photodynamic Therapy: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the use of a medication, known as a ÒphotosensitizerÓ which can cause tumor cells to become sensitive to light of a specific wavelength. This drug preferentially accumulates in tumor tissues, making them more sensitive to light than normal tissues. The drugs themselves have no affect on the cancer tissue until they are exposed to light. When the photosensitizer absorbs the light it creates oxygen free radicals which are toxic to the tumor and can destroy the tumor cells, the tumor vasculature, and stimulate the immune response. Currently, the most commonly used photosensitizer for PDT is Photofrin. Treatment is performed by giving the photosensitizer and after a set amount of time, usually 48 hours, an endoscope is used to direct the light source to the area of the tumor. The light is then turned on to activate the photosensitizer. However, after treatment people will continue to be photosensitive for four to six weeks. This can be inconvenient as people must avoid exposure to direct sunlight and wear long sleeve clothes and eye protection during this time. PDT has been studied in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma and has been shown to be effective in maintaining the patency of stents. Additionally, several small studies have shown an improvement in bilirubin levels (better drainage of the bile ducts), quality of life, and survival with the use of PDT.
Treatments are generally based on the stage of the disease. For people with stage 0 or Stage I disease surgery alone is generally recommended. Five year survival in people with Stage 0 and Stage 1 disease are 58% and 29%, respectively. However, people rarely present with early stage disease because they often do not have symptoms until the tumor has progressed further. Generally, for higher stage cholangiocarcinomas, the ability to resect the disease becomes most important. Surgery is recommended if imaging studies suggest that the disease is resectable. After resection, if visible portions of tumor have been left behind, chemotherapy and radiation are generally recommended. People with Stage II or III disease have a five year survival of 22% and 8%, respectively. In unresectable disease chemotherapy and radiation can be used as well as surgeries or stent placement to bypass obstructions in the bile duct.
Follow Up: Close follow up after the resection of cholangiocarcinoma is recommended. Repeat radiologic imaging is recommended every six months for two years to make sure that the cholangiocarcinoma has not recurred.

We must warn you, some of its content is explicit.I revealed last week that Cotton is a party promoter Banks put on the state payroll as his legislative aide. Now Cotton has told me the job was a sham."He basically told me that I would be getting full-time pay and full-time benefits, but I'm part-time," Cotton said."His primary job responsibility was to transport Mr. Banks back and forth from Detroit to Lansing," said attorney Darryl Segars."Once he got the boss to the office, then what was there?" I asked."I would be on Facebook promoting my parties," Cotton said.Unlike most legislative aides, Cotton said he didn't work on public policy matters or help John and Joan Q. Public with their problems."No constituents can say, you know, they spoke with me and I got something taken care of for them or anything of that nature. Like that wasn't my job," Cotton explained.Cotton said that was okay with Banks."I got a raise. I hadn't even been there 90 days and I got a raise. So obviously I was doing, you know, the right thing," he remarked.Cotton's pay increased to $29,150 last month, but he said that wasn't the only tab Banks stuck taxpayers with. Cotton said he drove Banks to work most of the time, but Banks pocketed the mileage."He would fill out his form and I would take it upstairs to the business center for him, but I never got, you know, money for none of that," Cotton said.Cotton said he could deal with getting cheated out of gas money, but he soon got tired of Banks' unwanted sexual advances."When I first started working for him, it was overwhelming compliments. Oh, you look nice. Very nice suit. Nice haircut. Where you get your hair cut at? Nice smile," Cotton said.Cotton and Segars allege that Banks regularly pressured Cotton to spend the night with him."After we left the fundraiser, we go to the hotel, and he's like, 'So, you're really going to stay?' And I'm like, 'I don't want to, but, I mean, if you're talking about I'm not doing my job because I'm not staying up here, I'll chill. I'll stay today,'" Cotton said.In his lawsuit and in an exclusive interview, Cotton said he let Banks give him oral sex, but it was against his will."I needed that, you know, money every two weeks, so I couldn't just walk away from it. So that's the reason why that night I let him, you know, perform oral sex on him. Like, okay, well maybe after that, he got what he wanted, hopefully he would just leave me alone," Cotton said.I tried to give Banks a copy of the lawsuit so he could respond to Cotton's allegations, but Banks just walked away.House Speaker Jase Bolger and Democratic leader Tim Greimel also declined comment.Segars said Banks lavished Cotton with expensive sneakers and cologne. Cotton said he quit earlier this month because Banks continued to harass him."I said, 'I'm done with this. I can't do it no more. Like it's too much. As much as I want the money, like it's too much,'" Cotton said."There's really no level playing field here. Brian Banks had all the leverage," Segars said."It sounds like at some point Mr. Banks acted more like a jealous lover than a boss," I said."Not at some points, at most points," Segars said.Still, Cotton said he thinks Banks was a fine lawmaker."He's a good guy when it comes to, you know, a good mind and the way he want the state to go and laws and things of that nature," Cotton said.It's important to note that these are just allegations. Banks had not seen the lawsuit until I went to Lansing Tuesday afternoon, and like many defendants, he is choosing not to comment until he is served personally with the lawsuit. That may happen as soon as Wednesday.

This was one of the easiest pieces to put together that I have ever had. The end pieces just folded out, the shelves dropped down and latched and the only pieces we had to physically put together were the wine bottle holders. They just had one pin on the back and hooked in the front. The finish was a beautiful antiqued bronze and exactly as described. It is very sturdy. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that it was a little shorter than I had thought it would be. It is definitely a great buy for the money. This was a housewarming gift for a friend and she absolutely loved it.
This is a very attractive, inexpensive yet high quality stand--very sturdy
I needed a rack to hold cookbooks and such. This does the trick nicely. It is sturdy and seems to be well made. It was easy to assemble. Color is NOT spot on. I ordered pewter and it looks black.
This rack is very nice. It folds which is very nice when moving the rack. It is quite solid and heavy.
Perfect for outdoors - have some plants on it; use it when we have BBQ outside for paper cups/plates/napkins/trays condiments, etc. Great product
I love this Bakers Rack! It looks great and was so easy to set up (the hardest part was getting it out of the box). It is a small Bakers rack so be sure to measure. Also, it is not a rack for a microwave or a coffee maker. The shelves are more for dishes, books, kick knacks, or plants, than for small appliances. The each of the wine storage shelves could probably hold at least one more row of wine bottles (if you pyramid them). This is a great rack if your space is limited.
Mine arrived with one of the vertical "poles" bent at the top. Did not want to go through the hassle of a return. Beyond that, the unit can be folded for transport or storage, and is very stable when set up.

FO: Thrummed Mittens
Pattern: from Yarn Forward
Yarn: 1 skein Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted in Onyx and about 2.5 oz bluefaced leicester fleece? roving? I take pride in not knowing the difference.
The end product is great. These will be the warmest mittens Aaron will ever have. The pattern is well written.
Now, for the rest of it. While this was an interesting (and stashbusting) project, the novelty soon wore off. I loathe Lamb's Pride. I bought a few skeins of this as a relatively new knitter – before I knew better – and it's just been stewing in stash for about 8 years. I hate that it's a single ply, that it pills if you look at it funny, that it felts whether you'd like it or not, that it's so very hairy. Its only redeeming quality is that it is no longer in my stash.
As for the thrums, I made 161 of them per mitten. In the process, I covered my living room in a fine layer of sheep fuzz. Realizing that my thrums looked remarkably like the clumps of undercoat that Petunia leaves all over our house, I decided to work in one, "personalized" Petunia thrum on the thumb. I couldn't help it. The sad thing is that I probably should have just combed the dog out instead of buying fiber!
I've been hoping to finish up some of my UFOs this week so that I can start on the Ivy League Vest from the Winter 07 Interweave Knits. I bought some Harrisville New England Shetland at my LYS last week, swapping blues for the teal and loden. Glenna has a nice one going and she's inspired me to give it a try.
You will have to look elsewhere for 2007 retrospectives and 2008 resolutions. You saw the projects, you know what I made this year. You also know that I will not likely knit exclusively from my stash for the next year so why pretend? I am looking forward to a new 2008 project gallery set in Flickr, the beginning of a new semester and an end to media hype about year-in-reviews (Talk of the Nation today? a complete waste of air time), resolutions and diets. I wish you all the best in 2008!

It's kind of refreshing not to hear more resolutions and retrospectives. It makes me tired to think about them too much.
An Ivy League Vest, that will be beautiful to watch grow.
I skipped the retrospectives and resolutions too. I think it might be a useful exercise for some, but I'd prefer to just get on with it!
I've been seeing lots of thrummed mittens lately, and was wishing that I lived somewhere that got cold enough to be worth the effort…now, maybe not so much.
happy new year! i'm also looking forward to 2008! you know, i HAVE to do a retrospective because my memory is CRAP lately!! :) i can't remember everything that i did the year before! hahaha.
Oh, those look wonderfully warm! Hee hee – but by using sheep fuzz instead of dog fuzz, the mitts won't smell like wet dog when they get wet… Happy New Year!
Happy new year Elinor!
I have a gallery and then there is flickr, I felt like the recap would have been overkill for me, and resolution oi. I am with Liz, I would rather get on with the business of living and doing. Happy New Year! Oh, and those mittens? Awesome.
The mittens are GORGEOUS. I hope they see action, like the hat in your recent post. There's something so attractive about men in handknits, especially working!
So are they TOO warm? Can you move your fingers? I have wanted to make some, but am not sure.
Gorgeous colors for your vest!
Happy New Year to you, Elinor! Hmmm… I was going to knit the Bird in Hand mittens with Lamb's Pride. Although felting in a mitt is OK, I think. We'll see. Those thrummed mittens look so great, and so warm!
Thrummed mittens must be "in". Althougth, mittens in the midwest are alway "in". Yours look so warm and toasty. Can't wait to see your ILV in your new colors.
What beautiful mittens! LOL about taking pride in not knowing the difference. I don't either. :)
You thrummed mittens look great, even if you aren't a fan of the main yarn you used. They're gonna be super warm.
I like the colors you've chosen for the vest. I'm on the fence with that pattern, and I am curious to see how yours looks.
Those mittens looks so warm and fluffy. I used some Lamb's Pride a few weeks back and it is extremely hairy. My entire shirt/pants would be covered at the of the knitting session!
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! No year in review, and no promises about knitting from the stash! Me neither!!!
Happy New Year to you! And congrats on the sweet thrummed mitts.
Hee hee, I love the special "signature" thrum that you included!
The colors for your Ivy League Vest look great. And I applaud your commitment to looking ahead and not wasting time dwelling on the last year. As for me, I will probably do a year in review anyway because I am always desperate for blog content. :)
those look super cozy……the colors for your vest will be wonderful! soft and rustic…
Those mittens are ginormous! They will definitely keep you toasty warm.
I do retrospectives because it's second nature to me. I'm a teacher and I journal and reflect on my and my student's progress all the time. I love the retrospective, but I certainly understand the desire to leave them out! :)
Beautiful mittens! I did a pair of thrummed mittens a few years ago for my fiance's grandmother and she loved them! I used fiber that she had spun and hand-dyed to make them, too. She used to teach workshops on natural dying. Too bad she doesn't have her spinning wheel or supplies anymore. She gave them away a year before the boy and I got together.
At this point, I too am a little weary of year-end reviews. Time to move on to 2008, I say.
Your trums are lovely. So are the colours for your vest. Can't wait to see it in all its stranded glory.
Is there a web site that shows how to put the thrum in a slipper or mitten while knitting. I cannot get mine to look correct I am sure I am doing it wrong when I knit it with the regular stitch.

Even die-hard LSU fans will have to agree there's something special about former University of Alabama star running back Glen Coffee. It's a story that occurs infrequently and Your Humble Observer (a Razorbacks fan, by the way) believes folks should be told.
Star athletes who are good enough to advance to the next level too often are seen as individuals who receive special treatment and these sports figures believe it's only right that they are treated differently. Far too many of these individuals display "It's my world and you're lucky to be in it with me" and "Get all I can get; take, take, take" attitudes. To them, there's a separate set of rules.

BOOK BLURB: To live happily ever after…
Henry St. Giles, the Earl of Cravenswood, longs to find his soul mate. Now that his two best friends, both reformed rakes, are happily married, the need becomes an obsession. When they challenge him to find a wife by the end of the season or marry his neighbor, the innocently alluring Lady Amy Shipton, he can't believe his luck. He wins, either way. But a darkened garden, a case of mistaken identity, a drunken kiss, and a dropped emerald earring, leads Henry on a Cinderella hunt. He knows the woman he held in his arms could be the one he's searched for all his life. He just has to find her.
Lady Amy Shipton is determined to marry for love instead of sharing her husband like her mother did. So why did she let her handsome neighbor and romantic fantasy, the Sinful Saint as he's called for his bedroom prowess, seduce her in his garden? And what can she do when in the middle of their passionate encounter; he whispers another woman's name. Now Henry is hunting the owner of the earring Amy left behind, and she's determined to retrieve it before her identity is revealed. She's not about to give her father the ammunition he desperately wants to force her down the aisle.
The following afternoon bloomed into a glorious sunny day, and yet even though the sun shone, Henry had no idea how he was going to woo Amy. However, God must have listened to his prayers because Henry found himself partnered with Amy for Sabine's torturous treasure hunt. They had ten items to collect, with some of the clues more like a foreign language than Queen's English. Still, he was determined to make the most of the opportunity Sabine had gifted him. An afternoon in Amy's company.
Unfortunately, Amy didn't look so happy about the situation. For the life of him he couldn't fathom why she bristled every time he came near. It seemed logical to deduce her heart favored another. It must be Le Comte. Bloody damn Frenchman.
The guests, in their pairs, were sent out in different directions. The two of them had been sent toward the formal gardens near the back of the property. The manicured grounds overflowed with rose bushes, citrus trees and Sabine's favorite flowers. The centre piece of the large expansive hedged-row gardens was a bubbling fountain, very similar to the smaller version of his fountain in his garden in London, and in the distance was the summer house.
"The first clue says, 'Look in the green where water meets the Gods'. Whatever can Sabine mean?" Amy stood at the top of the garden stairs and surveyed the acreage before her.
He put his hand up to his brow to shade the sun. "The fountain looks very familiar." Amy's face flushed a pretty pink color. She could hardly admit she recognized the fountain's design or she'd be admitting to him that she'd been in his garden. "The fountain in my garden is similar, although much smaller, but I do believe the focal point is Aphrodite."
Amy clapped her hands. "Oh, yes. Water meets the Gods must be the fountain, and the look in the green is," she spread her arms wide, "the garden."
Clever girl. He offered her his arm. "Shall we?"
She slipped her hand over his arm and smiled, her joy in puzzling out the clues touched him. If she was determined to win, he'd help her.
"What is the prize if we win," he asked her.
"Apparently the winner gets to choose whatever prize they wish."
"As a gentleman, I insist that if we win you may choose. What will you choose?"
She smiled at him and said, "That's easy. I'd like to name Orsini Rose's foal."
His heart thudded in his chest at such a simple request. Orsini Rose was Marcus's prime breeding mare and his wedding gift to Sabine.
At his silence she said, "You think my prize strange."
"No. Not at all." He cleared his throat. "I hope the birth goes well. Foaling sometimes ends in tragedy, especially if it's the mare's first foal. Are you aware of that?"
She plucked a rose and twirled it under her nose. "Death is part of life isn't it? Life is not all roses, there are also thorns."
"True. Sometimes you don't appreciate the rose because of the thorns." He added wistfully, "I didn't really appreciate all my brother did for me, and our family, until he was gone."
"I'm sorry, that was a stupid thing to say. To make light of life and death…"
He plucked the rose from between her fingers and tapped her nose with it. "The day is too beautiful to be morbid. We have a prize to win."
She laughed gaily and the mood lifted. "Come on, we should hurry. Games are played to win, Lord Cravenswood. It might be the only time I ever get to name a thorough-bred."
He couldn't agree more with her sentiments. Games were played to win and he meant to win their private game. More pointedly he meant to win her heart.
They reached the fountain and both had to shield their eyes from the water's glare. They stood staring around them trying to ascertain where the next clue could be found.
"I see it," Amy cried. She pointed at the statue in the middle of the fountain, "there's a piece of paper tied around Aphrodite."
She looked at Henry expectantly and he gallantly offered, "I'll retrieve the clue, shall I?"
"That would be super, thank you."
With a sigh he sat on the edge of the fountain. "You're going to have to help me remove my boots." She chewed her bottom lip, looking adorable. "I'm not ruining my best boots for a silly treasure hunt."
She nodded in agreement. "I'll do it instead." She sat beside him and said, "Look away." She shooed him with her hand. "Hurry, we don't have time to get those boots off. I'll get the clue." Amy stared pointedly until he turned his head away. He heard her slippers plop to the ground and the rustle of skirts as she removed her stockings. Then a squeal as her feet hit the cool water.
Unable to help himself, Henry turned at the excited sound. The sight of creamy skin greeted him and made his throat dry and his groin heat.
Amy waded determinedly toward Aphrodite her skirts hiked up and her long, slender limbs on display. The sun gave her white skin a sparkling glow. She looked like a pagan goddess. His own flesh and blood Aphrodite. She was exquisite.
She glanced back at him over her shoulder. "Are you peaking? Stop it."
He could no more stop drinking in the arousing sight of her than he could stop breathing. "Amy," he said, his voice raw with need. "Do you know what a stirring sight you are? You're a water nymph."
He couldn't look away. She grabbed the clue from the statue and turned to wade back.
She would not look at him. It was scandalous the amount of flesh she was displaying but she liked to win and it was not only a test of brain-power but of speed. They had to beat the other teams. When she reached the edge of the fountain she risked at quick glance at him.
His hand was extended to help her from the water but that would mean letting her skirts get wet. He saw her predicament and swept her into his arms, lifting her clear of the water.
Amy should shout, protest, tell him to put her down but the words died on her lips. She could only watch dazed as he carried her to the grass and gently slid her down his body until her bare feet touch the fresh earth. All thoughts of winning the treasure hunt vanished like a ghost racing the dawn.
Her breath came in short, rasps.
She couldn't look away from the blatant desire etched on Henry's handsome features. They stood looking at each other, heat and need rising with each blink of their eyelashes.
Henry's eyes darkened as he cupped her face. "So, beautiful," he whispered.
The look in his eyes was one she would never forget. Such longing. More and more she wished she knew his heart."
