というわけで今日は古い住人さんというか常連さんが来られていた模様…落ち武者さんか…。なんか覚えは無い気もしないが…2年前だと忘却している感じだな………。

かmi様は個人的にはこんなイメージということでもう成分的にはmiクじゃないかなと思われるくらいミクです。

朝方。mi様の置きみやげを塗ってみた。好依可愛いよ好依。(pixiv,tumblr)
尚、左上の狐は孔雀殿。
とかそんな日。

Oakland County Michigan, Lakefront homeowners, last NOHAZ day this year 10/17/2009 http://www.oakgov.com/waste/nohaz/ mi don't pollute.
Polyhymnia sings the blues about yellow corns on her toes but still wont ride a bus literature short story mi.. http://ping.fm/l7CPi
One of the best things about Michigan (America's high-five/the mitten) is that it's surrounded by gigantic lakes. My hometown, Grand Rapids, is only about 30 minutes from Lake Michigan. It's a great place to swim it up, boat, fish and relax. I went there only a bit after I got back home and forgot to throw up the pictures. My friend tells me that it is possible to surf it, but somehow I doubt it's as tubular as surfing the ocean. Either way, it's still a fun and very beautiful place. (and salt-free!)
The same friend of a friend who builds the waterslides in his yard also puts together various community events/festivals. One such event is the giant slip'n slide. It's essentially 240 feet of tarp laid out on a hill covered in water and dish-soap. This is the 2nd time they've done it this month and man, this thing was so much fun.
The first restaurant I patronized in the U.S. was a Chinese restaurant called, 'Hunan'. Unsurprisingly they had no Hunan food, the owner was Vietnamese and the waitstaff were Latino. Nonetheless, they had excellent crab rangoons.
First patients receive cardiac stem cells for treatment of MIJuly 6, 2009 |Los Angeles, CA - Doctors in the US have injected autologous cardiac stem cells into patients for the first time, with two people out of a planned 24 having received the treatment following an MI [1].
"This is the first time we have injected cardiac-specific cells into a human," investigator Dr Raj R Makkar (Cedars Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA) told heartwire. "These cells are destined to be heart-muscle cells, so this is attractive in that sense—we are trying to obtain cardiogenesis." Preclinical experiments suggest that the cells, known as cardiosphere-derived cells, do develop into cardiac myocytes, he noted.
Makkar said the patients, who have been chosen because they still have significant left ventricular dysfunction despite having had a successful angioplasty for their MI, "are excited to participate, because this offers them the opportunity to improve their heart-muscle function. But no promises can be made—this is early research, and with due diligence we'll find out if it has any potential."
Makkar explained that the patients undergo cardiac MRI at baseline to map the area and size of the infarct and to see how best to perform the biopsy. The cardiac cells are then obtained via endomyocardial biopsy, through a percutaneous procedure via a vein in the neck or groin, and the cells obtained are grown in the lab over a period of four to six weeks into cardiosphere-derived cells, of which 12 million to 25 million are required for the treatment. The patients are then brought back to the cath lab and the cells are put back into the infarct-related artery.
"The advantage of this approach is that we are putting the cells back into the area that caused the MI," Makkar explained. He said this study, a phase 1 trial sponsored by the National Institute of Health, is designed primarily to examine safety, but they will also be looking at efficacy, with MRIs performed at baseline and six months later.
"If it is successful, we hope the procedure could be widely available in a few years and could be more broadly applied to cardiac patients," says Dr Eduardo Marbán (Cedars Sinai Heart Institute), who developed the technique and is leading the clinical trial.
"This procedure signals a new and exciting era in the understanding and treatment of heart disease," Marbán explains in a Cedars-Sinai statement. "Five years ago, we didn't even know the heart had its own distinct type of stem cells. Now we are exploring how to harness such stem cells to help patients heal their own damaged hearts."
Canton traffic sucks you should know this by now what the hell were you thinking?
