Surgery for brain tumor

Mary Tyler Moore, the actress best remembered for her roles on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Mary replica van cleef arpels clover necklace Tyler Moore," will have surgery to remove a benign brain tumor called a meningioma, her publicist said Thursday. Moore's physicians have been monitoring the tumor for several years; it is not life threatening and the iconic actress is expected to make a full recovery after the surgery at an undisclosed hospital.

Meningiomas, which account for a little over a quarter of all brain tumors, grow out of the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Technically, they are not really brain tumors because they don't originate in brain tissue, said Dr. Neil A. Martin, chair of neurosurgery at UCLA's Ronald Reagan Medical Center. They originate next to the bone of the skull in the dura or arachnoid tissues and grow inward, causing pressure on the brain. When they reach anywhere from 1 1/2 to 4 inches in size, they can cause sufficient pressure on the brain to produce neurological symptoms.

Meningiomas are most common in older women, but can strike at any age. Although about 5% turn cancerous, most are generally benign, slow growing tumors that may require little treatment beyond close observation. They become a threat only when their size causes them to impinge on the brain itself, squeezing cells and creating adverse effects.

"No one knows for certain" what causes them, Martin said. "Most are sporadic and pop up out of nowhere, with no obvious cause." Radiation to the brain during childhood for treatment of childhood brain tumors, leukemia and lymphoma are known to increase the risk of meningiomas. During the 1950s, many children abroad were given low doses of radiation to the scalp to kill ringworms. To the surprise of doctors, "a remarkable number" of those children developed meningiomas two to three decades later. Female hormones are also thought to increase the risk. One form of neurofibromatosis, or "elephant man disease," also causes the tumors, but that is rare.

Symptoms usually begin unobtrusively, and can include blurred replica van cleef and arpel clover necklace or double vision, headaches, hearing loss, memory loss and weakness in the arms and legs. As the tumors get bigger, they may produce seizures.

The most common treatment for meningiomas is surgery to remove the tumor. The success of the surgery may depend on where the tumor is located. If it lies at the top of the skull, removal is generally pretty straightforward and recovery is good. But if it lies along the base of the skull where blood vessels come in to feed the brain, "it is a much more difficult and complex operation to remove it surgically," Martin said. "It's much more likely that some of it will be left behind." That will require additional monitoring to determine whether the tumor starts to grow again, and may also require radiation therapy copy van cleef butterfly necklace to destroy any tumor that remains.

Disturbance of blood vessels or other tissues during surgical removal can lead to seizures during recovery.

If pieces are left behind and keep growing despite repeated surgeries or radiation, the tumor can grow through the skull and protrude from the head. It can also metastasize to the lungs and elsewhere in the body.

Chemotherapy is generally not useful. "There is not a great medication, no great chemotherapeutic drug" for meningiomas, Martin said. Because growth of the tumors is thought to be influenced by female hormones, doctors have tried anti hormonal drugs similar to those used for breast cancer, but without success.

Although Martin doesn't know the specific details of Moore's case, he said that "the chances are good she can have a surgical cure and resume normal activities within a couple of weeks." He noted that actress Elizabeth Taylor had a meningioma removed more than 15 years before she died and had no problems as a result.

Savile Town in Yorkshire that has almost no white residents

From the window of her flat overlooking the canal path in a suburb of Dewsbury in Yorkshire, a blonde woman watches two female figures walking past as they chatter in a foreign tongue.

Both the passers by are covered in black Islamic gowns, only a glimpse of their eyes show from the 2 in gap in the veils across their faces.

They, like many Muslim women who live here, speak little or no English. Lots of them will have no contact with any person from another religion or culture. Many, I imagine, have been brought to the UK to wed the British men of south Asian heritage who have made this area their home.

Even the lady selling ice creams from a van during the summer wears a burka in Savile Town

The wives have restricted lives: bringing up children, cooking for families, or going to women only events at the huge local mosque run by the Deobandis, a powerful sect of Islam whose most outspoken preachers have urged followers not to mix with Christians, Jews or Hindus.

We are in Savile Town, one of the most racially homogeneous parts of Britain: not because everyone is an indigenous Yorkshire man or fake van cleef and arpels necklaces woman, but exactly the opposite.

In fact there are almost no white residents to be found in Savile Town. Astonishingly, a detailed breakdown of the last census of 2011 recorded that only 48 of the 4,033 people living here were white British.

This would not surprise the blonde Lorraine Matthews, looking out at the ladies in burkas from her window. She is a 53 year old dentist's receptionist, one of the handful of white Britons left in Savile Town's grid of terrace streets. Almost all the other residents, according to that census, have Pakistani or Indian backgrounds.

Their forebears were enticed to Savile Town as cheap labour for back breaking jobs in the woollen mills which had made Dewsbury a renowned textile town.

For however unpalatable it may be to British liberals, the fact is that many Muslims here only want to live with those from their own culture

These hard working newcomers bought their own homes, and opened corner shops that sold burkas, prayer mats and perfumes that contained no alcohol, in line with the strictures of the Koran.

Soon the new arrivals had built the mosque which is designed to accommodate 4,000 worshippers. Today, a Sharia court nearby criticised in a House of Lords report for discriminating against women in divorce and matrimonial disputes does brisk business espousing the strict Islamic justice code.

Even the lady selling ice creams from a van during the summer wears a burka, and the mobile butcher going round the streets offers only halal goat, lamb and ostrich.

Stand in Savile Town, as I have, and you will see scores of boys in Islamic robes walking to and from lessons at the mosque's madrasah school, where for hours at a time they rote learn the Koran by heart.

And, distressingly, every girl I saw even those of six and seven playing in the park was wrapped up in a hijab fake van cleef and arpels butterfly necklace and shoulder to toe gown lest a man glimpse her flesh.

Eight of the nine pubs in the area have shut because there are hardly any local customers who drink alcohol. The hair salon, once giving stern perms to Yorkshire ladies, closed down long ago, the Western grocery and clothes shops, too.

Needless to say, with nowhere to socialise or shop for what they like, the local white folk departed, first in a trickle, then a torrent.

Savile Town is one of the most racially homogeneous parts of Britain: not because everyone is an indigenous Yorkshire man or woman, but exactly the opposite

Savile Town was left to become an ethnic enclave. And it seems that this detachment from mainstream society had disturbing repercussions. For this small area has produced several young jihadists who disappeared to fight and die as suicide bombers for Islamic State in the Middle East.

(Mohammed Sidique Khan, the leader of the bombers who attacked London on July 7, 2005, was brought up nearby. He bade farewell to his pregnant wife at their terrace house before leading his fellow attackers to the capital to claim 52 innocent lives in explosions on Tube trains and buses.)

Life in Savile Town was investigated earlier this year by Owen Bennett Jones, the BBC's former Pakistan correspondent, who threw light on the influence of the Deobandi movement over the Muslim population here.

Interviewed for the Radio 4 programme was Mufti Mohammed Pandor, a civil servant and spokesman for the Deobandis. He arrived from India's Gujarat in 1964 as a small child with his family.

The streets of the Savile Town area of Dewsbury, which since the 1950's has seen its white population almost entirely replaced

He lives near Savile Town, and would call himself a British Muslim. Yet he refused to let interviewer Bennett Jones see his wife when the reporter visited the couple's home, although she was permitted to make the tea in the kitchen.

Pandor insists she is completely covered at almost all times, allowing her only to raise her veil for passport checks at airports. His family rarely watches British TV and says all music is un Islamic.

Despite being a religious adviser to two universities Bradford imitation van cleef and arpels butterfly necklace and Huddersfield he told the BBC that Muslim men should only be permitted to enter higher education institutions to study and pray, and 'not to look at women'.

'If Mohammed did not do it, we don't do it,' Pandor told the BBC, saying the Deobandi are a 'back to basics' movement whose followers live in the style of the Prophet's life, 14 centuries ago.

You might dismiss such desperately backward thinking as being the preserve of a small outlandish sect, but the Deobandis run nearly half the 1,600 registered UK mosques, and train 80 per cent of all domestic Islamic clerics who, in turn, play a huge part in influencing the growing population of British Muslims.

Perhaps it's little surprise that the few indigenous Yorkshire people remaining in Savile Town feel somewhat beleaguered.

Shell sells out of the oilsands

SubscriptionsGo to the Subscriptions Centre to manage your:My ProfileRoyal Dutch Shell's deal to sell most of its stake in Alberta's oilsands was in the works for more than a year, says the company's chief executive Ben van Beurden."We said we would high grade the portfolio," he said at the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston."We would get out of positions where we do not have the scale or the capability, or that did not fit us in the longer run strategically. And the oilsands is one of them."Royal Dutch Shell to sell oilsands assets to Canadian Natural ResourcesCanada shouldn't lose resolve for a carbon tax, says Shell execIn the winter of 2016, when the talks started, the price of oil was at or near the low point of the downturn, trading in the high $20s or low $30s US. It was also just after Shell Canada's then president Lorraine Mitchelmore stood on a stage with Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, First Nations leaders and other executives to announce the carbon levy.It seems like a contradiction for Shell to have pushed carbon pricing, as it has around the world, but then pull out of the oilsands once a carbon price has been put into place.Are the oilsands off brand for Shell?After the speech, van Beurden was asked if this sale was linked to the higher greenhouse gas emissions associated with the oilsands."No. We felt that the position we had in oilsands mining was not material and we were not advantaged enough to fit in our long term portfolio design."The CERAWeek conference is put on by the consulting and research firm IHS Markit and has hosted many energy executives, and political leaders from around the world.

So, in a sense, the oilsands could imitation van cleef rose gold bracelet be perceived as off brand.

Reviving Promise of Panorama City

When Panorama City sprang up in the late 1940s atop farmland in the center of the San Fernando Valley, developers breathlessly hailed it as "The New City" an entire mass produced town the likes of which Los Angeles had never seen. Vacant storefronts abound. A six story bank building that was once the centerpiece of the commercial district sits empty.

"It's distressing," said longtime resident Paul Powers, 68, who remembers when shoppers from around the Valley and beyond would flock to replica bracelet alhambra van cleef Panorama City. "I don't expect to see a return imitation bracelet alhambra van cleef to those times."

The town, just north of Van Nuys, has been battered by competing shopping malls, the loss of factory jobs that fueled the local economy and the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

Once white and largely middle class, the area's population of 66,000 is now a mix of working class Latinos and Filipinos.

But in this demographic shift, Los Angeles city officials and urban planners see an opportunity to remake Panorama City.

They envision creating a new retail center that caters replica alhambra bracelet van cleef to ethnic populations. Instead of old line department stores, they see mom and pop discount shops.

Instead of playing to the suburban car culture, they want to make the strip along Van Nuys Boulevard more inviting to pedestrians who could spend hours strolling and shopping.

"I would not be surprised if it became a center of discount shopping," said planning consultant Bob Scott, who lived in Panorama City for 19 years.

He is part of a volunteer group of planners and architects trying to get the town back on its feet. "There's a difference between 'economy' and 'blight.' There are economy discount centers where people go to spend the whole day and shop."

In some ways, the transformation is already occurring. Latino owned businesses like Del Sol Furniture in the new Plaza del Valle on the north end of Panorama City have in recent years filled the void left by departing chain stores.

"The neighborhood has changed a lot, and for the better, I think," said Sylvia Torres, the store's co owner. "Ten years ago, we would not have put our business here."

Customers come to such sale price businesses with a purpose in mind beyond picking out a new sofa.

"A lot of people who come here are trying to build up their credit because they're thinking ahead and they want to buy a house," Torres said.

A Valley businesswoman for 22 years, Torres moved her shop from Van Nuys in May, partly because she believed foot traffic would be a plus.

While clients are not flush with money the area's median family income in the 2000 census was about $33,000 compared with $42,000 in Los Angeles County as a whole they "seem like they're comfortable and can afford to buy good furniture," she said.

Shops in the block long Plaza del Valle face an outdoor courtyard that resembles a market square in Mexico.

Murals, fountains and decorative tile soften the harshness of utilitarian stalls where merchants on short term leases can start businesses with little investment.

Panorama City was the creation of industrialist Henry J. Kaiser and developer Fritz B. Burns, who teamed up after World War II to build 2,000 starter homes.

The houses all about 1,100 square feet and offering similar floor plans but different exteriors rose from the Valley floor near Van Nuys and Roscoe boulevards, placed along curving streets that broke with the Valley's crisscross grid.

Panorama City was seen not as a bedroom community for downtown Los Angeles but as a self contained development with jobs at the nearby General Motors factory and Schlitz brewery. Instead of going downtown to shop, residents had their own sprawling shopping complex along Van Nuys Boulevard. "But here on the West Coast, Panorama City is one of the best examples. Back then, it was innovative."

The town was in the vanguard of the post war subdivision boom that swept Southern California. Mass produced housing, following the Panorama City model, led to the region's legacy of modest but respectable tract housing in suburbs such as West Covina and Lakewood.

And for decades, Panorama City seemed to work.

"The big deal was to get a job at the GM plant and get a car, and life would be good," said Los Angeles City Councilman Tony Cardenas, who grew up in the area and represents part of Panorama City.

In addition to the car factory and brewery offering thousands of jobs, the town boasted a Carnation research laboratory (where Coffee Mate was invented) and plenty of aerospace jobs nearby.

South American shame

This article originally appeared on GlobalPost.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil The Catholic Church has allowed priests accused of sexually abusing children in the United States and Europe to relocate to poor parishes in South America, a yearlong GlobalPost investigation has found.

Reporters confronted van cleef ring price replica five accused priests in as many countries: Paraguay, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and Peru. One priest who relocated to a poor parish in Peru admitted on camera to molesting a 13 year old boy while working in the Jackson, Mississippi diocese. Another is currently under investigation in Brazil after allegations arose that he abused disadvantaged children living in an orphanage he founded there.

All five were able to continue working as priests, despite criminal investigations or cash payouts to alleged victims. All enjoyed the privilege, respect and unfettered access to young people that comes with being clergy members.

In the US, Catholic leaders have come under intense pressure for concealing priests' sex crimes, and for transferring perpetrators among parishes rather than turning them over to law enforcement. The scandal has cost the church billions of dollars and led to a sharp decline in new clergy.

Victim advocates say that relocating priests to poorer parishes overseas is the church's latest strategy for protecting its reputation.

In response, in 2002 US bishops approved a "zero tolerance" policy, under which priests who molest children are no longer allowed a second chance to serve in the clergy.

Victim advocates say that relocating priests to poorer parishes overseas is the church's latest strategy for protecting its reputation.

"As developed countries find it tougher to keep predator priests on the job, bishops are increasingly moving them to the developing world where there's less vigorous law enforcement, less independent media and a greater power differential between priests and parishioners," said David Clohessy, spokesman for the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP. "This is massive, and my suspicion is that it's becoming more and more pronounced."The priests GlobalPost confronted on camera, far from the US and European churches where the sexual abuse allegations occurred, include:

Father Carlos Urrutigoity, accused of sharing beds with and fondling teenage boys in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The bishop of Scranton called him a "serious threat to young people," but in Paraguay, reporters found him leading Mass in a major church. He had been promoted to second in command of the diocese of Ciudad del Este. Father Francisco "Fredy" Montero, accused of abusing a 4 year old girl in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He relocated to his native Ecuador, where he was placed in a succession of remote parishes despite a dossier sent by the Archdiocese of Minneapolis to his new diocese, warning of Montero's past. Father Paul Madden, who admitted molesting a 13 year old boy on a mission trip when he was stationed in Jackson, Mississippi. The diocese paid the victim's family $50,000 and Madden moved to the diocese of Chimbote, Peru, where he still celebrates Mass each week. Father Jan Van Dael, accused of molesting several young men in his native Belgium before moving to northeastern Brazil, where he started an orphanage for street kids. Another priest we tracked down, Father Federico Fernandez Baeza, was indicted by a grand jury in 1987 on two second degree felony charges of indecency with a child.

The priests we tracked headed south after sex abuse allegations were made against them in US and European dioceses.

A family in San Antonio, Texas accused Fernandez in a civil lawsuit of ritually raping two brothers over a two year period. Prosecutors dropped the criminal case after the diocese of San Antonio reportedly paid the family more than $1 million. Fernandez flew to Colombia, where he continued a high profile career in the church. We traced him to the city of Cartagena, where he's a senior administrator and priest at a Catholic university.

After consulting with Fernandez's office, university guards prohibited us from entering the campus, and Fernandez has not responded to requests for comment.

The priests told us they have been allowed to continue preaching unfettered, without facing internal investigations, despite Pope Francis' pledges to clean up the church.

Last year, the pope sent a letter to every bishop in the world, ordering them to follow a global "zero tolerance policy" on child abuse. This year he created a commission tasked specifically with protecting children from van cleef flower ring replica church sex abuse.

Following repeated phone calls and emails, both the Vatican's press office and the head of the commission, Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley, declined to provide comment for this story.

The cases GlobalPost found are exactly what the church and Cardinal O'Malley's commission need to be focusing on, said Peter Saunders, an advocate for abuse survivors and a lay member of the church's commission.

"Zero tolerance is meaningless unless it applies to the whole institution," he said. "Arguably, some of the van cleef and arpels perlee ring price replica biggest problems are in the less well off parts of the world, South America, Africa, the Far East. This is where we know many priests flee to in order to carry on their abuse, which is an absolute outrage."

Scary Halloween Sayings

Trivia: Halloween is short for "Hallows' Evening or Hallows Eve" which was the evening before the All Hallows' Day (Holy or Sacred Day). To ensure the conversion of all pagans, the Christian Church decided that All Saints' Day or Hallowmas (celebrated on November 1st) and All Souls' Day (celebrated on November 2nd) should overshadow or absorb all pagan holidays coming on or around 31st October.

History says that Halloween has a Celtic origin, however, today it is celebrated largely as a secular cultural festival where people from all religions and races come together as one. The most common Halloween activities include throwing and attending costume parties of friends and relatives, wearing the most bizarre costumes and my personal favorite trick or treating.

schools closed as nor'easter nears

NEW YORK School closures were set on Tuesday for cities including New York City, Philadelphia and Boston. Thousands of flights were canceled, and road crews were working hard in cities from the Midwest to the Northeast to stay ahead of a nor that could dump up to two feet of snow in some areas.

Blizzard warnings were in effect from Pennsylvania stretching up to Maine, said Eric Fisher, chief meteorologist for CBS Boston.

The chill is a far cry from the mild winter so far, CBS News Michelle Miller reports from Cleveland. The state of Ohio has spent just $63.3 million on its snow and ice operations budget $15 million less than a year ago. And in Chicago, it been at least 146 years since the city has seen no measurable snowfall in January or February. But that was expected to change on van cleef necklace replica wholesale Monday night with at least five inches.

Travel has already been disrupted. ET Monday night, 1,601 flights were canceled, 5,165 Tuesday and 599 Wednesday amounting to 7,365 in total, CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave reports.

Here is a look at other developments on the snowstorm:

NYCGov. Tuesday during a predicted blizzard which is expected to dump anywhere from 12 to 18 inches of snow in the metro area. Soon after, the MTA will decide the status of service on the Long Island Rail Road and Metro North.

There are currently no plans to cut underground subway service. MTA buses will be operating on a reduced schedule Tuesday. New York City schools and courts will be closed.

The National Weather Service has issued a 24 hour blizzard warning, which starts at midnight. Whiteout conditions and power outages are possible. If you have to travel, use mass transit and be prepared for delays. Stay safe, New York City.

would certainly be the biggest snowstorm of the 2017 winter season in New York City, said Faye Barthold, a weather service meteorologist based on Long Island.

At least some, however, seemed to be taking the forecast in stride, CBS New York reports.

The Saboni family, from Seaford, says they stocked up and ready for a storm they think is long overdue.

kind of expected this because of such a mild early winter, husband Andy said, I was going to drag on until the spring possibly.

His wife Judy says they have their salt and shovels ready to go.

Pat Myren and her friends from Long Island have loaded up their truck with supplies.

hoping, need to stay home and be safe and that what I praying for, she said.

BostonBoston also could get 12 to 18 inches, with isolated amounts of up to 2 feet across northeastern Massachusetts.

With more than a foot of snow getting ready to fake van cleef and arpels necklace clover drop beginning early vintage alhambra necklace knock off Tuesday morning, folks were snatching up all the bread and eggs they could find, CBS Boston reports.

shopped for two hours and stood in line for 45 minutes, shopper Diana Rivera said.

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said it your typical storm.

most important point I will make is that the snow will fall about 2 to 4 inches an hour, Baker said.

At Home Depot, backyard grills took a distant second place to shopping carts filled with ice melt.

Parking bans were in effect in many cities and towns across the state on Monday evening.

combination of high winds, wet snow and cold weather can lead to downed trees and we are closely monitoring the power outages, Baker said.

Simple Cheap Air ConditionerCooler

I am near Dallas so I well understand how a person would suffer without AC in their vehicle. Before we went, I made scarves for the two of us and put those water absorbing crystals in them:

They absolutely saved us. They absorb so much water that it took them eight days to fully dry out again. My scarves had four pockets and I put about a 1/4 teaspoon of the crystals in each pocket and thought it wouldn be enough but it was almost too much.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions and soon I will be making another cheap air conditioned that would be more improved than this. I also wanted to say that this particular cooler can be used more for personal use or at small places and rooms. And thanks again for your comments and will repost a soon a new instructable.

Can I do this on a smaller scale like shoe box?

Okay, all you tech savvy people, I have a problem for you to solve! My car AC is out, and I drive all over the Dallas./Fort Worth area as an in home tutor. I am usually fried to a crisp by the end of the day, what with the 100+ heat, dryness, etc. Right now, imitation van cleef & arpels alhambra necklace my budget so stretched, I have several dead presidents screaming in pain in my wallet, so fixing the AC is a no go at this point. However, I have a huge collection (and have access to more) of junk. You know, old parts from this, little pieces of that; the stuff that dreams are made of! I need a cooler that is safe and secure to put in my mini van (perhaps between the front seats?) that will bring the ambient temperature down so I am not drenched in sweat when I reach my students homes. Some of the seem great for a stationary use, but imitation vca necklace since I am in a moving vehicle, might not be so great. What have you got for me? Thank you in advance!

You can use a usb fan connected to a power bank put it under the seat, maybe?

Use a regular ice chest, make it with a 12v fan or two. put it in the passenger seat plug it in, face it to you and you got it, I got one in my van, my ac works in the van but I live in Fort Worth the Van is 25 years old and doesn cool the whole vehicle properly, I actually use two in there lmao.

I suggest a big container of ice water and a bandana. Dunk the bandana. Wear it on your head. Roll down the windows to increase the rate of evaporation. This got me through a cross country drive from Florida to California in the middle of the summer.

If you froze jugs of water in the freezer they would make no mess as they thawed. No worry about splashing water in the car. My Air is our too and I might try this next trip inland.

True but my fans get a 10 degree difference with enclosed water compared to ice, you can make little holes in the jugs at top though.

Oh and you could drink the water as it thawed.

I tried to make something like this several years ago, when I had a car with no AC. My version was on steroids. I had a cooler of ice water in the back seat. A 12V pump circulated the water through my car heater core. And tepid (big improvement) air came out through the vents. The only problem was a 10 lb bag of ice only lasted about 5 minutes. :(

Hi klee27x. I worried about your fake van cleef and arpels necklace alhambra engine not getting up to operating temperature (usually 180 195 degrees). This would be good for you but not for your vehicle engine. A hot engine will burn efficiently, but a cold one will have carbon and guk build up on the insides. Any problem with that? Or does your engine heater core not mix with your engine coolant / radiator?

That is what a car thermostat is for. I hear this all the time in the car forums. When people want to run fans all the time in the engine, If you have a working thermostat the car will not cool too much. Is your container to large or is your fan too small. The smaller the fan the smaller the container should be. The smaller the fan the smaller the exhaust in diameter.

Tip, use dryer vent or a bendable material and run it through a few inches bending it towards the fan, Not to close.

I have made several different types of these from cardboard boxes to expensive coolers even adding wheels and a motor to one so I could drive it around lol. All situations are different, but I have found them best to work in texas on just ice no water, causes too much humidity. if you can find a large enough container then put two fans in, one large on top one small on the side lining up with the top fan, Now put your outlets on the other side of the fan you put on the side, Use one pipe about 4 to 6 inches. Large 35 gallon totes work well with this.

One important note I use polystyrene foam which you can get at lowes, I use 1.5 inch thick and buy a large 4 foot x 8 sheet cause its cheaper that way and you will want to make more. Take the foam and cut a piece that fits tight in the bottom of the tote, now cut another piece to put on top, now cut the sides. get the top to where it is 1.5 inches from the top of the tote and cut tops for it also. Now when you cut your lid for the fan you also need to cut openings in the foam as well.

One more tip, dont use gallon bottles if you do put holes in the top to let the air escape, also if you use ice with dry ice on top, oh my oh my, hope you dont get frost bite.

Also it is very easy to make it solar. Just go to ebay pay 40 bucks for a 15 watt solor panel You can actually run a few fans with this, I have three of them running on one panel and could probably go past that, you will know when too much is too much cause the fans will slow down. I also have a stanley battery jumper with a cig adapter and use an inverter on it, I can run 5 of these on that and probably more all night long for camping.

Would it be possible to use either frozen water bottles or reuseable freezer pack in this cooler. I would think that could keep the humidity down in areas where there is high humidity?

Stolen paintings can be repaired

Three paintings stolen from a Manchester art gallery should be back on the gallery's walls within a fortnight, despite being damaged.

The works by Van Gogh, Picasso and Gauguin thought to be worth a total of 4m were reported missing from the van ring fake Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester on Sunday.

The paintings Van Gogh's The Fortification of Paris with Houses, Picasso's Poverty and Gauguin's Tahitian Landscape were found the next day crammed into a tube behind van cleef and arpels diamond ring fake a public toilet.

A spokeswoman for Manchester University, of which the gallery is a part, said the paintings had suffered weather damage, and the Van Gogh had suffered a tear in the fabric, but added that all could be repaired.

A note was attached to the paintings claiming the fake van cleef diamond ring motive of the thieves was to highlight poor security at the gallery.

Detective Chief Inspector Peter Roberts from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said: "The hand written note which was found with the paintings suggests they were taken as a noble cause, however unfounded this may be.
