Thoracic surgery is a surgical procedure performed inside the chest wall. If you have a condition involving the lungs, diaphragm or esophagus, you might be a candidate for da Vinci®.
Traditional "open" surgery to reach the chest cavity means a long incision through the chest wall. In some cases, the surgeon must cut open the breastbone at the front of the ribcage.
But the da Vinci® system overcomes the challenges of traditional surgery and is changing surgery for people in mid-Michigan and around the world. At Covenant HealthCare, surgeons use the most advanced technology available -- da Vinci® surgical robotics -- to enter the chest with just a few tiny incisions between the ribs, avoiding a large incision and the possibility of having their ribs spread. A small camera and precise surgical instruments are inserted through the small incisions in the chest, giving the surgical team enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control never before possible. Covenant thoracic surgeons can now perform surgeries such as lung lobectomies, wedge resections, lung biopsies and more with the help of the da Vinci® robot.
Is robotic surgery right for you? Talk to your doctor about da Vinci ... and get back to your life faster. To find a Covenant HealthCare da Vinci® thoracic surgeon, use our surgeon locator.
As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed since surgery is specific to each patient, condition and procedure. It is important to talk to your doctor about all treatment options, including the risks and benefits.

I love these goggles they are by far the best I've ever had the adjustable frame is excellent. Oh and to the guy who gave them a bogus review it's because he wore them in the sand and they are not sand goggles that's why dirt was flying In his face.

The visibility through the laminated stack is much better than individual tear offs. I don't ride without them. One thing you have to get used to is they require a commitment when you tear them off. A simple little tug doesn't work because they are laminated together. You have to pull all the way through.

John Han-Chih Chang, MD and Kenneth Blank, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Does radiation in the pelvic area prevent the use of CPT-11? My wife is a stage 4 cancer patient and has received FUDR, FUDR and Leucovorin, then FUDR, Leucovorin and Gemzar®. She was allergic to the Gemzar and was due to start the CPT-11 when she developed a mass in her pelvic area that requires radiation before she can continue any more chemotherapy.
John Han-Chih Chang, MD and Kenneth Blank, MD, Editorial Assistants for Oncolink, respond:
Dear TN,
Thank you for your interest and question.
The chemotherapy agent (CPT-11) you are talking about is also called Irinotecan. It is a Topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitor similar to Topotecan and 9-aminocamptothecin. Topo I assists the cell during replication. Inhibition of this enzyme causes problems with cell reproduction and ultimately tumor growth. These types of chemotherapeutic agents have been used for brain gliomas, cervix cancers, lung cancers, etc?
There is some preliminary data with Topo I inhibitors that suggest that they cause increased sensitization of tissues to radiation damage. Thus, the rationale behind doing radiation before starting the CPT-11 is that there could be unwanted increased side effects from the radiation therapy if it was given concurrently (with the CPT-11). Using CPT-11 with radiation therapy could perhaps increase the radiation damage to the cancerous tumor. Our experience is too limited at this time with CPT-11 to believe that the benefit of increased cancer killing will far outweigh the potential risk of increased side effects from pelvic radiation (which can be quite difficult to manage).
Oct 4, 2011 - Treatment of localized prostate cancer using intensity modulated radiation therapy is associated with a considerable reduction in late bowel and rectal side effects and significantly decreased rectal and bladder toxicity compared to three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, according to a study presented the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, held from Oct. 2 to 6 in Miami Beach.


text: 4 Good RE GameCAPCOM29 | 11/10/2013 | See all CAPCOM29's reviews (2)After playing this on the Nintendo 3DS, I was excited about the home console release but to be honest, the entire thing seemed like a lazy and quick opportunity to make money. I thought the transfer to Xbox 360 and PS3 would meant doing away with the bugs and imperfections of the handheld version and adding content and features but neither happened. All the load times remian the same as do some of the glitches. The movement of the characters could have been improved drastically. The original was released after RE5 with most the motions and actions of the characters remaining the same (with the added ability to dodge), however the home console version, released after RE6 left a lot to be desired with regards to character movements and interactions. It almost seems like a backward turn. However the story, average playable hours, weapon and enemy variety, graphics and soundtrack all lead me to conclude it's a good game worth a playthrough 8 out of 10

The Castrato and His Wife, Helen Berry
"The opera singer Giusto Ferdinando Tenducci was one of the most famous celebrities of the eighteenth century. Mozart and Bach both composed for him. He was nothing less than a rock star of his day, with a massive female following. He was also a castrato.
Ranging from the salons of princes and the grand opera houses of Europe to the remote hill towns of Tuscany, Helen Berry's compelling account of the unconventional love story of the castrato and his wife offers fascinating insight into the world of opera and the history of sex and marriage in Georgian Britain. Berry vividly describes how women flocked to Tenducci's concerts and found him irresistible. Indeed, his young singing pupil, Dorothea Maunsell, found him so irresistible that she eloped with him. A huge scandal erupted and her father persecuted them mercilessly."

Publication date: June 2011
288 pages
"Feminism, Absolutism, and Jansenism chronicles seventy years of Jansenist conflict and its complex intersection with power struggles between gallican bishops, Parlementaires, the Crown, and the pope. Daniella Kostroun focuses on the nuns of Port-Royal-des-Champs, whose community was disbanded by Louis XIV in 1709 as a threat to the state. Paradoxically, it was the nuns' adherence to their strict religious rule and the ideal of pious, innocent, and politically disinterested behavior that allowed them to challenge absolutism effectively.

Why Spiders Are Not Insects
It's almost time for Halloween, when all self-respecting little ghosts, goblins and ghouls take a special interest in spiders.
We saw this little jumping spider (below) on a pink rose. It doesn't look like it could scare anything--except for maybe a sweat bee or hover fly.
This year the Explorit Science Center of Davis, a hands-on science museum located at 3141 5th St., is taking a special interest in spiders.
The center is sponsoring a number of programs on these critters and posted "Facts About Spiders" on its website.
For one thing, many people think spiders are insects. They're not.
Both spiders and insects are invertebrates, but spiders are not insects.
Insects have a head, thorax and abdomen, and the thorax has three pairs of legs. They also eyes, antennae and mouthparts, the Explorit Science Center website points out. "The entire body is protected by a tough outer covering called an exoskeleton. Animals that share these characteristics are called insects. The group to which they belong is called the Insecta."
Spiders, as the Explorit Science Center explains, have two main body parts. "The body consists of a combined head and thorax called the cephalothorax, and the abdomen. The cephalothorax has the eyes, mouthparts (no antennae) and four pairs of legs. Animals that share these characteristics include ticks, mites, scorpions and spiders. The group is called the Arachnida."
And speaking of spiders, schooolchildren visiting the Bohart Museum of Entomology on the UC Davis campus occasionally ask to "see the spiders." The Bohart is an insect museum (although the officials have been known to showcase a few spiders, too.)
Mark your calendar for Saturday, Oct. 27 for the Bohart's public open house from 1 to 4 p.m. in 1124 Academic Surge on Crocker Drive (nearest intersection is LaRue Road.) This is a pre-Halloween open house and there definitely will be assorted spiders at the insect museum!

Luxe in Bloom is Sarah Watson's first collection with Art Gallery Fabrics and I think it is SO pretty. The color scheme is soft and springy, yet subtly sophisticated. (How's that for a fancy schmancy way of saying, "I dig this fabric.") Not to mention it feels like silk. Luxe in Bloom is available here, here, and here.
And in news of the weird (yes, those are my feet) the outside of my left foot and underneath the arch were suddenly sore on Monday and I couldn't figure out what I'd done. I started to wonder if I'd pulled or strained it hiking last week, or what.
Then last night I sat down to sew at my kitchen table and realized that while I pushed the pedal with my right foot, I would arch and push back on the floor with my left foot, without thinking. So I think I strained my foot while sewing. How's that for the dumbest sewing injury ever? I am in the process of making a conscious effort to retrain myself to put my left foot flat on the ground while I sew. So. Dumb.
I must be getting old.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Happy 300th birthday, Newington!
Thursday, September 19, 2013
NEWINGTON — There was a birthday bash in Newington last weekend — a big one with more than 450 people attending.
Among the events were a New Hampshire intertribal Native American Pow-Wow on Saturday and Sunday. The parade on Saturday took more than an hour to pass by. The grand marshals were Ruth Fletcher, Gup Knox and Shirley Frank. All three of the marshals are direct descendants of Rev. Joseph Adams, first pastor of Newington Town Church in 1713. The day was filled with events to occupy residents of all ages. Everything from a pancake breakfast, to gundalow rides engaged the citizenry. A special event of the day was the arrival of New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan. Hassan spent a good portion of the afternoon chatting and mixing with residents of the town. The celebration had a down-home flavor to it, with an apple pie-eating contest and a fireworks display over Fox Point to end the day's acknowledgment to the town's forbearers and history. Planner Morgan described it as "people really being into who we are." "The floats were imaginative, but not slick. Everything had a small-town feel to it."

Many people think that private space launchs will just take over, however the private venture is a very risky one. Especially in manned flight, the certification process for rocket engines is extremely difficult, which requires painstaking testing, that is counted in seconds of firing. If any failure or shut down occurs, the count goes back to zero. The SSME required something like 100,000 continous seconds. In the case the the Space shuttle, the certification process was very difficult, and required years of research and test fires, set backs, and recertication as NASA increased the required power to over 100% ranges. The system uses many small motors, and have a zero launch record. Rocketdynes data base for their motors was a long record back to the Mercury program. 2 other concepts made the SSME engines very hard to certify, the fact they were reusable, and that they were able to be throttled. Another factor that was extemely complex to develop was the 3 engine start sequence, and space X has many many more motors to start. You would not think its even an issue, but it is very complex, taking over 2 years to delelop and so critical that Rocketdyne refused to alter the start sequence for Pratt Whintey fuel pumps.
Rockets are a very unforgiving learning curve, and Space X,IMHO is in the beginning learning curve.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A private spacecraft stands ready to launch on a historic first visit to the International Space Station tomorrow (May 19).
The unmanned Dragon space capsule, built by commercial firm SpaceX, is slated to lift off atop the company's Falcon 9 rocket early Saturday from here at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The spacecraft has an instantaneous launch window at 4:55 a.m. EDT (0855 GMT), with a 70 percent chance of good weather predicted (the main risk of a delay is posed by the possibility of cumulus clouds).
If all goes well, Dragon will fly by the space station on Monday (May 21) and rendezvous and berth at the outpost the day after, becoming the first non-governmental vehicle to do so. The mission is the final test flight planned for Dragon, which has been developed under NASA's COTS (Commercial Orbital Transportation Services) program aimed at nurturing private spacecraft to supply the International Space Station.
The mission is a critical test for NASA's plan to outsource transportation to low-Earth orbit to the commercial sector, allowing the agency to begin work on a new heavy-lift rocket for deep space. Some in Congress and elsewhere have been critical of the scheme, arguing that private vehicles are untested and less reliable than NASA's in-house built spacecraft. [Photos: SpaceX Poised for Historic Launch]
If Saturday's launch is successful, it could help sway the naysayers, NASA administrator Charles Bolden said.
"I think it will make a tremendous difference," Bolden told SPACE.com in April. "Everybody wants to see performance. You can promise things all you want, but nothing works like actual performance, and so it's a very important mission for SpaceX but an incredibly important mission for us at NASA."
SpaceX (officially Space Exploration Technologies Corp. of Hawthorne, Calif.) has designed Dragon to fly robotically at first, though the company has designs to man-rate the capsule. Eventually, Dragon is planned to be able to carry up to seven crewmembers to orbit, and could be used to transport astronauts as well as cargo to the space station.
For this test flight, Dragon is loaded with 1,014 pounds (460 kilograms) of cargo for the orbiting laboratory, including 674 pounds (306 kg) of food, clothing and supplies for the station's six-man crew. It will also deliver scientific equipment and electronic hardware, including a laptop.
If the capsule's on-orbit checkouts go smoothly, then on Tuesday (May 22), NASA astronaut Don Pettit and European Space Agency flyer Andre Kuipers use the space station's 57.7-foot (17.6-meter) robotic arm to reach out and grab Dragon and berth it to the station's Harmony node.
The vehicle is scheduled to stay at the outpost for about two weeks. Then, it will be unberthed and will head back to Earth where it is planned to re-enter the atmosphere and land in the Pacific Ocean.
In contrast to the other unmanned vehicles that ferry cargo to the space station, Dragon is equipped with a heat shield to survive re-entry and be recovered after landing. Thus, before it departs the station, astronauts plan to load it full of science experiments ready for analysis on the ground, as well as used hardware to be returned to NASA.

CARDIFF, CA — A recent survey commissioned by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by America's leading distilled spirits producers, revealed that nearly half of all mothers think underage drinking is acceptable under some circumstances. The survey found that mothers of teenage daughters underestimate the occurrence of underage drinking among their own daughters and misjudge the seriousness of the issue.
To address this gap in knowledge of the prevalence of underage
drinking in California, US Women's Soccer Player Shannon MacMillan, and
Dana Fudurich of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, an organization dedicated to
fighting drunk driving and underage drinking and funded by distillers;
partnered to launch Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage
Drinking at MacMillan's camp at Cardiff Sports Park.
Significant survey findings include the following:
Mothers significantly underestimate daughter's experience with alcohol.
- 16% of 13-15 year old girls say they drink with friends, only 5% of their mothers think their daughters are drinking;
- 30% of 16-18 year old girls say they drink with friends, only 9% of their mothers think their daughters are drinking;
- 51% of 19-21 year old girls say they drink with friends and only 32% of their mothers think their daughters are drinking.
- Nearly half (49%) of mothers of teenage girls say it is okay for their daughters to drink;
- 38% of mothers say it is okay for their daughters to drink on special occasions;
- 21% of mothers say it is okay to drink under parental supervision at home;
- 20% of mothers say drinking alcohol is a natural part of growing up.
When asked how serious they thought health risks were for teens that drink, 71% of the girls polled stated that they believe the health risks associated with drinking are serious. Putting a finer point on their concerns, the research also uncovered "the five strongest health-consequences that would keep teens from drinking alcohol" according to survey responses of teenage girls ages 13-18. Among the health consequences they identified are the following:
Alcohol poisoning/overdose | 64% |
Rape | 63% |
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)/HIV-AIDS | 52% |
Unsafe/unplanned sex | 52% |
Harm to mental development | 39% |
Hangover | 37% |
Pregnancy | 45% |
Suicide | 35% |
Harm to physical development | 27% |
Vomiting | 28% |
Weight gain or weight loss | 28% |
Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage Drinking
In the face of these data, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility created Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage Drinking
to improve dialogue among mothers and daughters. Developed in
partnership with the Society for Women's Health Research and the
National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, Girl Talk will help mothers initiate and sustain conversations about alcohol.
Girl Talk utilizes the data gleaned from the survey including those health consequences of most concern to the girls. Girl Talk
also highlights the daughters' advice to their moms regarding talking
about underage drinking. Girls participating in the survey responded
- Moms must be approachable, able to keep an open mind and must not lecture or overreact — "just because I am asking about alcohol does not mean I am drinking alcohol."
- Moms: Keep the conversation real and personal by telling about your own personal and real-life experiences, choices and consequences, and if you don't want to talk about yourself, share the experiences of people you know.
- Be my parent, not my friend. Share your values and set the rules and discuss the social risks of underage drinking beyond just drunk driving.
- Websites, www.girlsanddrinking.org for mothers and www.grltlk.org for daughters, with additional information on how to have the underage drinking conversation and links to additional national and local resources related to underage drinking.
- Booklets for mothers, detailing how to begin the conversation, sustain the conversation and have an impact as well as information explaining the facts about alcohol, and addressing issues such as peer pressure and creative ways to say "no" to alcohol.
Additionally, the US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association has partnered with The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility on this initiative. The National Soccer Team Players Association will endorse Girl Talk through personal appearances at functions and schools, in print and online media, public service announcements and other integrated marketing initiatives. Through its official fan club alone, The Ponytail Posse, the US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association has the potential to reach millions of girls around the world.
"California's teenage girls must be strong and say no to peer pressure. But that's not enough. We must also communicate with these young girls about why alcohol is dangerous for their growing bodies and the specific risks alcohol has on a young girl," said Shannon MacMillan.
Dana Fudurich of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility added, "Girls need to be informed of the toll that underage drinking can take not only on their health but also on their grades and reputations. I want all of the young girls in Cardiff to know that underage drinking is wrong and it's something they need to discuss with their mothers."
About the Surveys
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility commissioned Teenage Research Unlimited (TRU) to
conduct a comprehensive research project to better understand the
dynamics of underage drinking among mothers and daughters. TRU fielded
a study April 2005 among a national on-line sample - a total of 875
respondents (496 daughters and 379 mothers, 322 of the matching)
completed the questionnaire. Quotas were set to ensure that a
representative number of daughters (and mothers) from each of the
following age segments completed the survey: 13-15 year olds, 16-18
year olds, and 19-20 years olds. The mother-daughter results presented
here reflect the matched mother and daughter data collected. TRU
conducted an additional self-administered online omnibus survey,
OmnibuzzTM, among 802 13 to 18 year olds in August 2005. The data were
weighted for key demographic variables (gender, age, ethnicity, parent
education, region and community-type of place of school) to reflect the
national population. The margin of error for both survey samples at the
95 percent confidence level is + 3 percentage points. That is, if this
survey were to be replicated 100 times, in 95 instances the results
would be within three percentage points of the data reported here.
The Society for Women's Health Research
Society for Women's Health Research is the nation's only non-profit
organization whose mission is to improve the health of all women
through research, education and advocacy. Founded in 1990, the Society
brought to national attention the need for the appropriate inclusion of
women in major medical research studies and the need for more
information about conditions affecting women disproportionately,
predominately, or differently than men. The Society advocates increased
funding for research on women's health; encourages the study of sex
differences that may affect the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of
disease; promotes the inclusion of women in medical research studies;
and informs women, providers, policy makers and media about
contemporary women's health issues. Visit the Society's website at
www.womenshealthresearch.org for more information.
US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association
The US Women's National Soccer Team Players Association was created
after the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup to represent all the players that
comprise the US Women's National Soccer Team, and give the US Soccer
Federation the assurance that the new Uniform Player Agreement and
Collective Bargaining Agreement would govern its relationship with the
players through the 2004 Olympics. The Association has primarily
functioned as a representation and negotiating body, and is now making
greater efforts to promote its constituent players. More information
can be found at:
www.unitedsoccerathletes.com and www.ponytailposse.com.
National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA)
It is the mission of the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association
(NABCA) to support and benefit alcohol control systems by providing
research, fostering relationships, and managing resources to address
policy for the responsible sale and consumption of alcohol beverages.
Established in 1937, NABCA is the national association representing the
Control States - those political jurisdictions that directly control
the distribution and sale of beverage alcohol within their borders.
Headquartered in the Washington, DC area, NABCA serves its members as
an information clearinghouse and as liaison to federal, state and local
governments, research and advocacy groups, the alcohol beverage
industry, and other organizations impacting alcohol policy.

Age plays big role in issues voters think most important
Wednesday, November 7, 2012
DOVER — For some, votes were based on candidate profiles, their stances on issues and where they believe the direction of the country's future should go. All of those reasons, however, were influenced a bit by a particular number — a voter's age. |

Results tagged ' A League of Their Own '
Dirt in the Skirt
By Samantha Carr
Like most women my age who grew up playing softball and loving baseball, I have seen the movie A League of Their Own about a million times.
But I have only seen the ending once.
I just can't bring myself to watch Dottie Hinson drop the ball in the championship game. I figure maybe if I don't watch it, they went back and changed the ending and Dottie holds on for the win.
Growing up, I wanted to be Dottie. I want to be covered in dirt, with bruises on my knees, playing the game I love. Dottie had it all – she was smart, beautiful, a hard worker and one heck of an athlete.
Of course, when I was younger, this was just a story. Only as I grew up did I realize that this league was real and there were women just like Dottie who lived out their dreams in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
On Saturday, March 27, four women who played in the AAGPBL will be in Cooperstown to celebrate Women's History Month at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
During a special interview program beginning at 1 p.m., fans have the chance to sit down with Gloria Elliott (Kalamazoo Lassies, Racine/Battle Creek Belles) Sarah Jane Ferguson (Rockford Peaches), Joanne McComb (Springfield Sallies) and Dolly Brumfield White (South Bend Blue Sox, Kenosha Comets, Fort Wayne Daisies). Tickets for the program are free. Members may reserve their tickets now, by calling (607)547-0397. Any remaining tickets will be available to the general public beginning Monday, March 22.
These amazing women will give first-hand accounts of their experiences playing the game they loved. They will relate memories of the good and bad parts of playing baseball – stories that years from now will only be found in books.
Other events will take place throughout the day to commemorate women in baseball, including artifact spotlight presentations, and a special 11 a.m. lecture on the history of women in baseball given by the Hall of Fame's director of research, Tim Wiles.
Make sure you get your tickets today, and join in celebrating these special women who – just like me – miss the dirt.
Samantha Carr is the media relations coordinator at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Cute-as-a-Button Erin Chair
Cute chair with adorable details
I bought 2 of the Erin-Cute as a Button chairs for my formal living room. I have a beautiful Bernhardt sofa that is a deep Burgundy color and was trying hard to find some chairs that would coordinate. It's taken weeks to find the perfect compliment to the sofa. These chairs are comfortable and the color goes with everything else in the room. I am so happy with the price too. I was looking at similar chairs that were twice the price. So happy! And I found several coordinating pillows while at Cost Plus that updates the whole look of the room. Great find and great value. Thanks Cost Plus buyers!
June 6, 2013
Fantastic addition to our family room!
I picked up two of these lovely chairs in store a few days ago. They're easy to put together. I especially like that the nuts and bolts are hidden underneath a zippered bottom so that they don't look like they're assembled at home. The fabric is great and the multi-colored buttons are a fun touch. I will say that I noticed the buttons aren't COMPLETELY random -- both of my chairs have the same fabric on the buttons, but they're in a different order and sometimes have different sections of the fabric. So, it provides a little bit of cohesiveness if you want a pair. I know that one reviewer mentioned the fabric not matching on her two chairs --- no issue with that here. They're very comfortable, but at the outset the tufted back is a little stiff. Just break it in a little and it'll be good to go. Even my husband loves these chairs! Pick yours up today!

Cute-as-a-button indeed!
Oh, Erin. I love this chair so much that I refer to her by name. But really. This chair is so adorable! I had been looking for a chair to go in my bedroom and just be a little relaxation corner and I love this chair so much! It is so comfortable, and of course, adorable! This chair had me at fabric covered buttons! So cute. I love that it is a neutral color with a subtle (but striking) pop of color. So cute, and I love it just as much as when I got it!

I'm wondering why so many reviews state that they don't like the multi colored buttons....if you didn't like the buttons, then why buy the chair? Seeing the name of the chair is "Erin Cute as Button". The buttons are awesome and I bought the all three items because of the buttons! They totally have personality and gives you an excuse to throw any color you want in the room!

Perfect little chair!
I really love these chairs! I had to order them, as my local store only had one. They came within a few weeks, so no worries there. I use them in my bedroom in a quiet corner by a window, as a place to visit with my children, or read a book without a lot of destractions going on. They look great with just about any decor. I don't really like the multi-colored buttons, but if it gets too much for me, I'll just use some craft paint & go over them. I love how they curve around you, without restricting your movements or line of sight. I'm a plus-size, but have absolutely no worries about how sturdy they are. I would definately purchase these again.

Love this chair!
I continually get compliments on this chair. I loved it when I saw it in the store and finally purchased when it went on sale. Good price for a beautiful, quality chair! I have wood floors and it looks really great in my living room. The color is neutral enough to go with many things and the buttons give it an unique touch. Very happy with this chair!

Truly cute as a button.
Saw these in our local store when they were first released and I loved them but figured the husband would think they are too girly. When I finally got him into the store to check them out they had sold the last one and didn't anticipate getting more in. After calling around to several area stores I did find two. He loved the look and agreed they would look good in our living room space. Well build, comfy and have gotten tons of compliments on them. I even reupholstered our old ottoman with matching fabric and tufted the fabric with the cute fabric covered buttons I made using a kit found at local fabric store. Paired with pillows also found at WM.

Totally worth it
This chair is gorgeous especially for the price. I was looking for a new chair for my place and started at Anthropologie, totally expensive. But this chair is similar to that style with the cute buttons. I typically reupholster my own chairs but at this price its so worth to get it new. Only thing is, it is light so i do expect it to get dirty over time. But so far its awesome. The cushion is stiff but who can complain for the price.

Acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the body fluids. It is the opposite of alkalosis (a condition in which there is too much base in the body fluids).
The kidneys and lungs maintain the balance (proper pH level) of chemicals called acids and bases in the body. Acidosis occurs when acid builds up or when bicarbonate (a base) is lost. Acidosis is classified as either respiratory or metabolic acidosis .
Respiratory acidosis develops when there is too much carbon dioxide (an acid) in the body. This type of acidosis is usually caused when the body is unable to remove enough carbon dioxide through breathing. Other names for respiratory acidosis are hypercapnic acidosis and carbon dioxide acidosis. Causes of respiratory acidosis include:
Metabolic acidosis develops when too much acid is produced in the body. It can also occur when the kidneys cannot remove enough acid from the body. There are several types of metabolic acidosis:
Lactic acidosis is a buildup of lactic acid . This can be caused by:
Other causes of metabolic acidosis include:
Metabolic acidosis symptoms depend on the underlying disease or condition. Metabolic acidosis itself usually causes rapid breathing. Confusion or lethargy may also occur. Severe metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or death.
Respiratory acidosis symptoms can include confusion, fatigue, lethargy, shortness of breath, and sleepiness.
The doctor will perform a physical examination and ask about your symptoms.
Laboratory tests that may be ordered include:
Other tests may be needed to determine the cause of the acidosis.
Treatment depends on the cause.
Acidosis can be dangerous if untreated. Many cases respond well to treatment.
Complications depend on the specific type of acidosis.
All the types of acidosis will cause symptoms that require treatment by your health care provider.
Prevention depends on the cause of the acidosis. Many causes of metabolic acidosis can be prevented, including diabetic ketoacidosis and some causes of lactic acidosis. Normally, people with healthy kidneys and lungs do not have serious acidosis.

Last year was a bit of a turbulent one, blog-wise for me. I lost momentum and struggled to find the time to blog as regularly as I've done in previous years. That coupled with the fact that my personal life took priority with the spare time I had, so it didn't leave me with much time to sit down for hours on end writing posts and editing photos (I hate editing photos). 2012 however, was one of the best years of my life in which so many memories were created with friends and family, so the good definitely outweighed the bad.
There's no denying that blogging has changed a lot, and whilst I've been very fortunate and have embraced the fantastic opportunities that have come my way as a result of talking endlessly about make up and skincare (come on, let's put things into perspective - we're not saving lives here), at times I've really felt the pressure to keep on top of the latest beauty releases and keep blogging 3-4 times a week and it just wasn't happening. That combined with the annoying, competitive side of blogging that is now rife within the beauty blogging community (it's here to stay folks!) turned me right off. All too often, after a stressful day at work, the last thing I felt like doing was going home and swatching a lipstick or writing about a face mask - I chose cocktails and belly laughs with the girls instead!
This year however, I'm full of positivity, aim to get back on track and plough ahead with the drive I had when I started Vex in the City in 2009. I'm armed with a pretty notebook and have started penning the many blog post titles I want to write up. I remember when I'd sit at my laptop for 3-4 hours at a time happily typing up blog posts and I want to regain that enthusiasm I had. So if that means I have to attend fewer events (to be fair, I scaled back on them a fair bit in 2012) in order to have time to blog in the evenings when I get home, then so be it.
My beauty habits have changed a lot since I started the blog. You'll no longer find me making up imaginary doctor appointments so that I can be first outside the MAC Pro store, the morning the latest limited collection has been released for a start! I recently misplaced my 'Greens/Blues' depotted MAC eye shadow palette (I still haven't found it, but think I know where it is) and haven't had to be checked into The Priory as a result of it going walkies! With that said, should I find you dipping into my blush collection, I will hurt you.
Finally, I just want to say a big thank you to my regular readers who've stuck with me through thick and thin - I owe you like 45 blog posts, by mid February! Let's face it, my enthusiasm would probably have waned far sooner if I felt I'd been talking to myself for the past four years! Also a big hello to my new followers, I promise I'll make following Vex in the City worth your while ;-) I've met some fantastic people through blogging, both here and in the US of A and I look forward to meeting many more new faces in 2013.
Hmmm I realise I need to stick to this plan now, so I better get cracking. Good grief I can TALK! This post was only supposed to be three paragraphs long.
(Oh and before I forget, I'm back on Instagram under 'vexinthecity')

Oral Allergy Syndrome: Why do Pollens and Foods Cross-React?
If trees make you sneeze, they may also make you react to certain fruits and vegetables.
Allergic Living explores the science behind oral allergy syndrome, nature's allergic double whammy.
Not only do a third of North Americans battle hay fever – with runny noses, sinus and eye symptoms – but for a significant proportion of allergy sufferers, the spring bloom is just the start of their allergy woes. Dr. Antony Ham Pong, a Canadian allergist and researcher, estimates that up to 10 per cent of the general population has a condition called oral allergy syndrome, or OAS.
It's a less severe form of food allergy, directly related to pollen reactions, that's known to set off tingling and unpleasant itching in the mouth, throat and lips. Reactions are caused by a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and even spices; all of which share allergenic proteins with specific hay fever-causing trees and plants.
"It's not considered a life-threatening allergy," says Ham Pong, the author of several articles educating patients and doctors about oral allergy syndrome. "But it's actually more common than peanut, milk, egg, and fish allergy."
Two of the biggest cross-reaction offenders are birch and alder trees. Depending on where you live, anywhere from 20 to 70 per cent of people who are allergic to birch and alder pollens will also have oral allergy syndrome.
Ham Pong estimates about one-third of birch-allergic North Americans are affected, but the incidence of oral allergy syndrome is even higher in some European countries. Although OAS is relatively common, he doesn't think it is increasing, at least not in North America. Rather, doctors have become better at spotting this condition.
But how can a tall, skinny tree that gives you the sniffles cause an itchy mouth if you chew on a celery stick or bite into an apple?
How the immune system gets confused
Unfortunately for those with tree-pollen allergies, the pollen proteins that trigger hay fever symptoms are also found in a several foods.
The components of those proteins are well conserved among different plants, which means their three-dimensional structures are so similar that some of our immune systems can't tell the difference between, say, birch pollen and apple peel.
In birch, the most common allergy troublemaker is a protein called Bet v 1, and alder has a similar protein called Aln g 1. Their purpose is to help protect the fruit or vegetable in times of stress or from infection.
Ham Pong explains that Bet v 1 is called a "pan-allergen" because very similar proteins are found in a variety of unrelated plants, including apples, plums, kiwis, carrots, celery, potatoes, hazelnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, and even spices such as oregano, basil and dill.
People with birch-related oral allergy syndrome already produce antibodies to the pan-allergens from their prior exposure to birch pollen, so those antibodies will try to protect against similar proteins when they enter the mouth.
Next: Trouble with apples, peaches
