E. coli enteritis is swelling (inflammation) of the small intestine from Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. It is the most common cause of travelers' diarrhea.
Traveler's diarrhea - E. coli; Food poisoning - E. coli; E. coli diarrhea; Hamburger disease
E. coli is a type of bacteria that lives in the intestines of humans and animals. Most of the time, it does not cause any problems. However, certain types (or strains) of E. coli can cause food poisoning. One strain (E. coli O157:H7) can cause a severe case of food poisoning.
Bacteria may get into your food in different ways:
Food poisoning can occur after eating or drinking:
Although not common, E. coli can be spread from one person to another. This may happen when someone does not wash his or her hands after a bowel movement and then touches other objects or someone else's hands.
Symptoms occur when E. coli bacteria enter the intestine. Most of the time symptoms develop 24 to 72 hours after being infected. The most common symptom is sudden, severe diarrhea that is often bloody.
Other symptoms may include:
Symptoms of a rare but severe E. coli infection include:
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam. A stool culture can be done to check for disease-causing E.coli.
Most of the time, you will recover from the most common types of E. coli infection within a couple of days. The goal of treatment is to make you feel better and avoid dehydration. Getting enough fluids and learning what to eat will help keep you or your child comfortable.
You may need to:
You can drink oral rehydration mixtures to replace fluids and minerals lost through vomiting and diarrhea. Oral rehydration powder can be purchased from a pharmacy. Be sure to mix the powder in safe water.
You can make your own rehydration mixture by dissolving ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of baking soda and 4 tablespoons of sugar in 4 ¼ cups (1 liter) of water.
You may need to get fluids through a vein (IV) if you have diarrhea or vomiting and cannot drink or keep enough fluids in your body. You will need to go to your health care provider's office or the emergency room.
If you take diuretics (water pills), talk to your health care provider. You may need to stop taking the diuretic while you have diarrhea. Never stop or change medicines without first talking to your health care provider. You can buy medicines at the drugstore that can help stop or slow diarrhea. Do not use these medicines without talking to your health care provider if you have bloody diarrhea or a fever. Do not give these medicines to children.
Most people will get better in a few days, without treatment. Some uncommon types of E. coli can cause severe anemia or kidney failure.

Our history
Our History
California's stem cell agency was created in 2004 when 59% of California voters approved Proposition 71: the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative. That initiative created the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to fund stem cell research in the state.
Read the full text of Proposition 71
In addition to creating the agency, Prop 71 created a 29-member governing board composed of researchers, business leaders and patient advocates.
Read biographies of those board members
We held our first meeting in December, 2004 to begin hiring a president, finding a headquarters, and establishing the three working groups to advise the board. The agency moved into headquarters in San Francisco in 2005 and issued the first round of funding in 2006.
Since then, the agency has funded research and new facilities and has trained high school, undergraduate and graduate students for careers in stem cell science. Here, you can learn more about the results of that funding:

Callebaut® launches 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate': an individually packaged, premium real hot chocolate solution for the hospitality sector and food service business
- Callebaut® responds to customer demand for real chocolate drinks with its 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate', a premium, individually packaged hot chocolate solution.
- 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' is available in six different flavours, and can be complemented with a beautifully designed, heat-resistant Callebaut® glass, small whisks and a premium wooden box to enhance the consumer experience.
- 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' is available exclusively to the hospitality sector and food service businesses.
Wieze, Belgium – November 20, 2013 – Callebaut® presented its premium 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' innovation at this month's Horeca Expo in Belgium. The complete concept includes the 'Hot Chocolate Treasure Chest' for presenting the products, sachets filled with real Belgian chocolate callets in different flavours, a heat-resistant Callebaut® glass and a whisk. The concept offers an indulgent, rich, creamy hot chocolate drink experience.
Relying on its artisanal chocolate-making process, the 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' is made in Belgium from bean to callet. It offers the hospitality sector and food service businesses the best solution for supplying consumers with a real hot chocolate drink.
Consumers are demonstrating an increasing preference for a more indulgent, real chocolate drink when visiting a café, restaurant or hotel. Real chocolate contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter than cocoa powder. This gives real chocolate hot drinks a superior taste as well as a thicker and richer texture.
Consumers also appreciate the ritual of being able to mix their hot chocolate drink to their own taste. Premium experiences in the coffee and tea category were introduced to the market some years ago with great success.
Callebaut® is now responding to these two trends by introducing its premium line of 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate'. From this autumn, cafés, restaurants & hotels in the Benelux, Germany and the UK will be able to offer their customers the new Hot Chocolate concept. When ordering a cup of hot chocolate, the customer will receive a perfectly portioned and attractively designed, individual sachet with real chocolate callets.
The 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' sachets can be presented to consumers in a Callebaut® 'Treasure Chest', a premium wooden box that holds all six 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' flavours: Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate with Honey, Milk Chocolate with Caramel, and Milk Chocolate with Cappuccino.
High quality packaging guarantees a fresh taste and ease of use for professionals
Each individual sachet holds 35 grams of callets, which is the perfect quantity for creating a luscious hot chocolate drink. Thanks to the high quality packaging, the callets are not exposed to any outside contamination before being served to the end user. This allows Callebaut® to provide its customers with the most hygienic way of serving hot chocolate drinks. The packaging also guarantees that the fresh chocolate taste is preserved for longer. The size of the callets ensures that they will easily melt in hot drinks.
The only thing hospitality sector and food service business professionals have to do for customers to be able to enjoy the drinks is serve 200 millilitres of steamed, hot milk accompanied by a 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' sachet. The steamed milk can be served in a beautifully designed, double-walled Callebaut® glass that is heat-resistant up to 100°.
If hospitality sector professionals wish to add a finishing touch to their customers' 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' ritual, they can also purchase small whisks, which customers can use to stir their hot chocolate drink to perfection.
Chocolate made in Belgium from bean to callet
The 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate' callets are produced in Wieze, in the heart of Belgium, where Callebaut® has been making its chocolate for artisan customers for more than 100 years. Callebaut® is one of the few chocolate makers to still select, roast and grind cocoa beans into its own secret cocoa mass, the most important ingredient for chocolate couvertures. With 'Finest Belgian Hot Chocolate', Callebaut® transfers all its know-how and love for chocolate into your hot chocolate drink.
About Callebaut® (www.callebaut.com):

Lest anyone out there think that I am constantly cranking out a quilt - because I know it can tend to seem that way in blogland - let this quilt be a good example of the reality behind the scenes. Fabric purchased 3-4 years ago; finally started cutting into it 1.5 years ago; started piecing blocks last summer; finished piecing blocks at a retreat in February; finally sewed all the blocks together at the beginning of the summer, then it still took me 2 months to add the borders and choose a back; had someone else do the quilting last week. And voila. It is finally done.
The back for this one is a vintage sheet I found at a thrift store a few years ago. I knew I wanted a vintage sheet for the back and it took me a while to find just the right one. I've actually cut up most of the one's I have. Fortunately I'd preserved this one because I liked it so much and it turned out to be a good match. Plus, it was just the right size! And it was so nice not to have to piece a back.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
hi Jamie
I have been cooking with seaweed ( sea vegetables) and we have Nori
to make laverbread in the traditional celtic style, there are lots of recipes on internet for nori fritters with oats.We dont have irish moss but something similar that produces carragheenan, for blancmange and puddings. its really delicious in ice-cream! can be used instead of eggs for egg-free cooking. gelidium is abundant but the method of extracting it is complex.
Kelp that lies on the beaches here makes excellent Jam , sliced and boiled with ginger and apples or grapes to a good consistency. leftover, dry kelp
feeds the soil in the garden organically. its also a natural tenderizer, so kelp
pieces go into the pot w hile cooking beans.
Please let me know if you would like to see and use
any or all of my recipes for a future book! I have published a few copies but
as yet it seems like the market isnt big enough for a publisher, locally.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
I am a novice to veggie gardening, but Im interested in veg I cant buy as Im not very happy with the range I can get.
We only have major supermarkets to buy from & live in a country area that is not very multicultural. I find it very hard to get decent asian veg & when I can get it, its really expensive.
Last week I saw Okra so I grabbed some and the cashier didnt know what it was, same tthing a few monthes ago whren I bought artichokes.
I am also intested in growing old varieties, so Im going to join The Diggers Club.
Just yesterday I saw a seed packet with their logo on it for heirloom variety tomatoes. (Fothergills)
Will put up links as other Aussie forum members might be interested to join as well.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Hi Jamie
Here in rural Spain, Cardoon's are a local vegetable that is used whenever it is in season.
Our neighbours gave us some, and we have tried to use it the way the locals do - string them, as they are a very fiborous vegetable, they then boil them and place on top of other steamed vegetables and meat, or boil and then cover them in local olive oil (cold pressed olive oil which is wonderful).
Eaten raw is not good.
Have to say, they are tasteless, and probably better covered in a sauce, as least then you have some flavour.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
Hi Jaime,
I know its a bit late but my dad used to grow cardoons and my mum used to steam it and then fry it off in a little butter and garlic, or make a cheese sauce and make it into a gratin. Though she just called that cheesey thistles.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
I believe they used to lightly boil the stalks of the cardoon - it's supposed to be quite bland... but I've never tried it... Meddlers used to be used in jelly (weird little fruits that look like a cat's bottom) The fruit of the Crateagus monogyna (hawthorn) can be eaten - that would have been eaten thousands of years ago - the young leaves of our native Hesperis matronalis (sweet rocket) can be eaten in salads - very strong though.... green gages you don't hear of much anymore.... sloes and loganberries.... I can't think of anymore at the mo but there must be loads of stuff that we don't eat anymore that we could... i did eat a conker once... that was surprisingly nice really - not sure if they are edible in large amounts though...

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
The choko vine that hangs off the traditional Aussie paling fence is native to Central America, Mexico and the West Indies called chayote. Grows like crazy, very subtle flavour, best eaten when approx. 10cm (4 inches) or the larger ones chopped up added to stewing green apples and/or rhubarb. Absorbs the flavour of the other fruit. They are probably used in bought/pre-fab'd apple pies.
The fruit I want to eat and enjoy more of is the Cape Gooseberry. Fantastic beautiful taste. I can never have enough.

Re: Vegetables and fruits that we have forgotten about....
I was thinking of the choko too phiona!! Last time I bought some home my fiance said "what the f is that!?" I love it boiled, steamed or best of all roasted. It is very plain, but I love it like that. I find it quite refreshing.
I also remember when I was very young we had a huge wild rasberry bush in the front yard. We thought nothing of it back then, but now when I think about it I would love one in our yard now. They were so delicious and sweet. Im sure they are a rarity now with the ever expanding building industry.
Another thing I love is the bush lemon. I dont know anyone that sells them and its a shame as they are just lovely. The 3 trees that were growing at my parents have now died which Im pretty mad about! I think they were just too old, or were lacking in attention. They were planted with the house which is almost 100 years old. We now have to stop on the way to pick them from trees on the side of the road in the neighbouring properties.

Other "forgotten" vegetables that I have tasted are the wild versions of parsley, celery, radish, fennel and that kind of stuff. I have tried a vegetable/herbal pie from my granny with these wild veg and they taste amazing and I could say much better.
But they are wild so I don't no if you can plant and cultivate them. I will ask my granny today and she would surely now some stuff that people don't eat anymore!

and for the history: The earliest description of the cardoon comes from the fourth century BCE Greek writer Theophrastus. The cardoon was popular in Greek and Roman cuisine. I read it in wikipedia!

Joeb Moore's work in this design/build restoration of a 1959 Richard Neutra house primarily consisted of returning the building to its original state. In the one area where the building required a significant update—a kitchen closed off from the living and dining areas—Moore strove, he says, for "a systematic extension of Neutra's own thinking." Replacing the offending partition with a pair of ultra-slim stainless steel columns, Moore inserted a steel-and-white kitchen that is obviously new but also "part of the original language of the house." Our jury applauded the effort, calling the result "a restrained art form."

Knowing the volume of your sup is important in that it relates to your weight and what amount of volume is required to support your weight.
The metric system tells us: 1 liter of volume will float 1kg of weight.
However the amount of volume needed is relative to weight & skills. Thus we multiply a Skill Level Factor x our Weight in kilograms to get a recommended Volume in liters.
Skill Level Factor for Beginner = 2.0
Skill Level Factor for Intermediate = 1.7
Skill Level Factor for advanced = 1.3
Use this simple formula to find your target volume
(your weight in lbs x .44) x Skill Level Factor = Target Volume (Liters)
Example: You are a beginner looking at boards and you weight 195lbs. What volume is right for you?
(195lbs x .44) x 2 = 175
Board Volume (Liters) = 175
If you are a beginner rider and you weigh 195lbs. Your board should have a volume of at least 175 Liters to support your weight.
Suggested Weight
We use the boards volume to compute how much weight each board can support for a given skill level.
These are general suggestions and other factors such a width and thickness determine how the board will support your weight.
As an example:
The 9'6 Classic has 127 liters of volume.
The suggested weight chart shows:
As a beginner your weight should not exceed 141 lbs
As an intermediate rider your weight should not exceed 166 lbs
As an advanced rider your weight should not exceed 217 lbs

A final restoration phase has just been completed, thereby restoring the site to its full beauty, a quality deeply cherished by Breguet.
The improvement work conducted in 2007 ad 2008 encompassed several aspects, including restoring the original decorative elements, creating additional museum areas, refurbishing the entire set of technical facilities and repairing the outer woodwork, steps as well as the East and West wings of the Petit Trianon.
At the request of the Établissement pubic de Versailles, Montres Breguet agreed to fund an additional phase of work. The latter has just been completed in June 2010, thereby setting the final touch to this operation. It involved cleaning the South façade, restoring the sentry boxes framing the gate of the entrance court, consolidating the forecourt walls, as well as mending the cobble-stoned or paved areas.
The Petit Trianon castle built between 1763 and 1768 was initially intended for Louis XV's favourite Madame de Pompadour, who died in 1764 before the work was completed. Upon the king's death, it was bequeathed to his second favourite, Madame du Barry. When King Louis XVI took the throne in 1774, he gifted the Petit Trianon to his wife Marie-Antoinette, who several years later became a fervent admirer of watches by A.-L. Breguet, as well as a loyal customer. Witness the famous N° 160 model known as the "Marie-Antoinette" watch, specially made for the Queen and of which an identical reproduction was created in 2008 by the watchmakers of the Manufacture Breguet.
Through this exceptional patronage endeavour, one of the most substantial undertaken in France in recent years, Montres Breguet wishes to perpetuate its more than 200 year-old ties with Versailles, as well as expressing its deep-felt attachment to European culture and history.

I was listening to myself practice the banjo!
I'm just starting. No, I'm not a hillbilly, but my redneck sister-in-law and her husband say I have redneck tendencies! LOLThe instrument has always intrigued me. I have an old prewar Gibson and a custom banjo I had built.It's been fun to figure this out.
Ok, you got my attention. Tell me about the Gibson.I've been "just starting out" for almost ten years. I'm lazy and get distracted easily by new hobbies. I guess I'm a better mandolin picker than banjo, though I started banjo first. I have a Deering Sierra and a Frank Neat custom RB-4 copy, and a Gibson F5g mandolin.
It's a 1926 TB3 that was converted to 5 string. The pot is all original except the crappy ball bearing tone ring was replaced with a Sullivan flat top conversion ring. The neck is a circa 1970 RB250 neck. The resonator and all parts are the original finish. The rim and resonator have the correct matching s/n. I have the original neck and tone ring. Sounds great!
Very cool! I thought maybe you'd found a mid-30s Granada at a yard sale or something, and then I'd have to hate you.
Yeah, I've got this other one in the closet. Metal is all kinda brass colored with all this engraving and real fancy inlays and bindings. I think it's from another country. Says Canada or Granada or something like that. LOL. Picked it up for $100 at a estate sale. Smells real funky.... (POOF! I wake up fom my dream)

Collins' friend Patrick Brayer tells the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin that the musician from Claremont, Calif., died Monday, five days after a heart attack. Collins brought Zappa to R&B cover band the Soul Giants in 1964. By 1966, they had become the Mothers of Invention, releasing their first album, "Freak Out," on Verve Records. Collins sang on three albums, then left the Mothers, saying their comedic approach to music didn't suit him. He pursued little music afterward and spent his last years living in a van, but was a well-known character and conversationalist on the streets of Claremont, a college town east of Los Angeles.

Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear
Posted by Maryna Rakhlei in EU on July 10, 2012
I think it's funny. Peaceful Swedish citizens get themselves a small jet and sneak off from Lithuania over the Belarusian border to scatter teddy bears in support of the freedom of speech. In Belarus, which is so obsessed with its security.
I don't find it funny when there is a show of toys with slogans for more human rights and freedoms and the human organisers are tried and put behind bars. The toys luckily, not.
It is not very amusing to see Soviet style parades during the Victory Day and Independence Day celebrations, showing off military aircraft and defence equipment, all those tanks and other examples of the munitions wardrobe of Belarus.
Twenty five years ago, in 1987, as the Soviet Union was crumbling and tumbling, German Mathias Rust illegally landed next to Red Square in Moscow, in the heart of the Soviet empire.
Of course he was tracked, but nobody was decisive enough to give an order to shoot him down. As a result there was a window of opportunity for Gorbachev; he fired key defence officials who opposed his perestroika ideas.
Belarusian history also knows a very different story: In September 1995 a balloon participating in an announced international race was shot down; two Americans were killed. A big international scandal followed.
Who knows what happened now, when Belarusian authorities have tense relations with both Europe and Russia? If there was a decision not to shoot the low-flying plane. If the plane went unnoticed and managed to violate the Nato-Belarus border. Or if it was disassembled and brought to Belarus across the Russian border, where there are no border controls.
The facts are: there are videos showing hundreds of teddy bears with signs "We support the Belarusian struggle for free speech" flying towards places in Belarus that can be identified; there are witnesses who saw them, and those who picked them up.
The State Border Committee of Belarus denied any invasion of Belarus' airspace, claiming that the video is a fake; the Lithuanian side confirmed the trespassing of the border but refused to elaborate if it was linked to the teddy bear flight.
Notoriously, Belarusian air defence system is meant to protect Russia as well. And now Belarus is planning to help Venezuela build up an air shield.
But apart from the question of national security. With human protests being silenced, the toys are still able to cross the border and ask for more freedom. But this time most of the teddy bears from Sweden ended up in police stations for further investigation. Isn't it ironic?
PS It was on 10 July 1994 that Lukashenka came to power. 18 years ago today.

Episode Information
We know that music has a tremendous and not entirely logical impact on the brain.
I've been noticing that lately, as the skimpy, but important musical part of my life seems to be the only thing that beats the late winter blues.
But today we turn the question on its head. If the brain itself could make music, if each part of the brain were like one pedal or key on a pipe organ, what musical sounds would it make? (You can hear one sample below.)
Dan Lloyd, a Trinity College philosopher studying consciousness, has developed a program that by passes the voice box, the fingers and all the other parts we use to make music and actually thinks a melody.
On the second half of the program, why don't our brains work better? Why don't we notice things and catch mistakes? Why don't we get better at things over time? You think you do get better? Well, that's a mistake. Believe me, I could have written a book about mistakes. Our guest did.

The current study demonstrates that younger patients with low-risk disease are unlikely to remain on long-term WW. The ongoing study mentioned in the author's conclusions will be important in determining the impact of delaying therapy in these patients. If no detrimental effect is found for delayed therapy, it may be reasonable to pursue WW in these patients to spare them the potential side effects of definitive therapy. Without this information available, patients with higher stage disease and short PSA DTs should strongly be considered for upfront therapy.

Who owns 'Happy Birthday?' Lawsuit seeks return of millions
POSTED: Friday, June 14, 2013 - 6:53am
UPDATED: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 8:29am
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — You may not know it, but you could owe Warner/Chappell Music thousands of dollars from all the birthday parties you've attended in your life.
A class action lawsuit seeks to change that.
Warner/Chappell Music claims to own the copyright to the 120-year old, 16-word song that is widely credited with being the best known piece of music in the English language. That means anyone who performs the song publicly risks a $150,000 fine if they don't agree to pay a fee to the music group.
While the company doesn't actually come after private individuals for singing the song to their 3-year-olds, it technically could. And it does demand money anytime the song is sung on a television show or movie.
Good Morning To You Productions, which is a making a documentary film about the song, filed a class action case Thursday seeking to have the song returned to the public domain. It argues the copyright on the song expired in 1921, and that it should not have been forced to pay $1,500 for the rights to use the song in its documentary.
Warner/Chappell Music is the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group, a company with $2.8 billion in annual revenue. It claims on its Web site to own the copyright to more than 1 million songs.
According to the suit, the song was written by Mildred and Patty Hill and sold to Clayton Summy in 1893 for 10% of the retail sales of the sheet music. A company that Summy founded was eventually purchased by Warner Music Group in 1998, according to the suit. It argues that if Warner/Chappell owns any copyright, it's on a very limited piano arrangement published in 1935, not on the song itself.
And it seeks to have Warner/Chappell return millions in fees it has been collecting over the years. The suit argues that Warner/Chappell collects more than $2 million a year in copyright fees on "Happy Birthday" alone.
Los Angeles-based Warner/Chappell could not be reached for comment Friday. The suit was filed in Federal Court in New York.

Is love for Facebook waning?
By Rachel Hawkes
Is Facebook now deemed to be too big? As a society we tend to get behind someone when they're on their way up. We want them to succeed, we love an underdog don't we? But... just don't get too big. We don't really like that. There's been three significant developments that suggest Facebook is losing favour, and not just with those of us who are immersed in digital.

There is no doubt, because of his profession, Strickland has contacts and sources. However, that does not make him a god.
There are some dirty laundry things that I am not going to air out here (for various reasons), but I think OS can back me up here, without getting into specifics, when I say Strickland is a douche bag and diva of the highest order.
Put aside the silly things he gets wrong…that can happen to anybody. Right? Many times over? Sure, why not.
Strickland has a bad habit of doing absolutely careless fact checking or relying on sources he shouldn't. There was an incident last year where he used a questionable report about a certain individual that was posted on the internet, and he quickly ran to his blog to post the information. Turns out that the online source had it completely wrong, and was the only place that listed this wrong and greatly exaggerated information. All the other media outlets involved with this incident had their facts right, but Strickland could not be bothered with checking out the facts first.
Strickland was contacted by this individual's family, but he failed to ever retract or apologize for his mistake. He left the damn posting up.
When it came to Erik Johnson last year, and him possibly joining the team late last year, the ramifications of his contract and the CBA last year were discussed. He kept putting out wrong information regarding this, and tried to discredit anyone that could show him in black & white what the rules were. He eventually blame the initial interpretation on the Blues' staff, and then he got the "correction" completely wrong again. Blaming the higher ups on CBA interpretations. Wow.
These are just a couple of examples.
He glosses over his mistakes, ignore them or even edit the posting to act like it never happened.
Trust me, there are individuals in the "hockey media" that know Strickland is a joke.
The problem is, a lot of people cannot call him because they know they are shooting themselves in the foot. Strickland is highly regarded simply because he gets information, and there are many information starved, over-obsessive individuals who will take whatever they get. You call out Strickland, you know you are alienating a lot of people.
He is also a known liar and a hypocrite.
I expect he will be contacting me sooner or later about this. Bring it on. If he wants more details to go public, I would be glad to do it.
Chalk all this up to irrational ramblings if you want, but I find this guy pretty worthless. You want to put stock in him, that is your business.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is cancer of a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. These cells are found in the bone marrow and other parts of the body. Bone marrow is the soft tissue in the center of bones that helps form all blood cells.
CLL causes a slow increase in a certain type of white blood cells called B lymphocytes, or B cells. Cancer cells spread through the blood and bone marrow. CLL can also affect the lymph nodes or other organs such as the liver and spleen. CLL eventually can cause the bone marrow to lose its function.
CLL; Leukemia - chronic lymphocytic (CLL)
The cause of CLL is unknown. There is no link to radiation. It is not clear whether certain chemicals cause CLL. But exposure to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War has been linked to a slight increased risk of developing CLL.
CLL usually affects older adults, especially those older than age 60. Persons under age 45 rarely get it. CLL is more common in whites than in other ethnic groups. It is more common in men than in women. Some persons with CLL have family members with the disease.
Symptoms usually develop slowly. CLL is often found by blood tests done in people for other reasons or who do not have any symptoms.
Symptoms of CLL may include:
Patients with CLL usually have a high white blood cell count .
Tests to diagnose CLL include:
If your doctor discovers you have CLL, tests will be done to see how much the cancer has spread. This is called staging.
Tests that look at changes in DNA inside the cancer cells may also be done. Results from these tests and from staging tests help your doctor determine your treatment.
If you have early stage CLL, your doctor will monitor you closely. Usually, no medicines or other treatment is given for early-stage CLL, unless you have:
Chemotherapy medicines are used to treat CLL. Your doctor will determine which ones are right for you.
In rare cases, radiation is used for painful and enlarged lymph nodes.
Blood transfusions or platelet transfusions may be required if blood counts are low.
Bone marrow or stem cell transplantation may be used in younger patients with advanced or high-risk CLL. A transplant is the only therapy that offers a potential cure for CLL, but it also has risks. Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits with you.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
How well a patient does depends on the stage of the cancer. About half of patients diagnosed in the early stages of CLL live more than 12 years.
Call a health care provider if you develop enlarged lymph nodes or unexplained fatigue, bruising, excessive sweating, or weight loss.

Tamansari Water Castle
Jl. Ngasem
Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Submitted by: Dyah Kartikawening
A water garden that was built in 1758 and remains a dynamic and traditional neighborhood.
Why It Works
Tamansari, which means "perfumed garden," is home to some 2,700 residents, a community that distinguishes itself through its craft traditions in batik and traditional painting. The "perfumed garden" is experiencing a revival, becoming a venue for the performing arts, tourism, crafts, and festivals, all of which have improved appreciation for the site.
What Makes Tamansari Water Castle a Great Place?
Tamansari is a popular tourist destination in Yogyakarta, because of its convenient location to the city center and Pasar Ngasem (Ngasem Marketplace). The only way to get around Tamansari is by walking, which makes the place more enjoyable and gives more opportunities to enjoy the various tropical vegetations, local community houses, and batik galleries.
Tamansari is a witness of yesterday's charm in the midst of today's creative life. The ruin is well maintained, and the houses are clean, since the site is a tourist destination. The neighborhood residents take care of the place as well as maintain the safety and cleanliness of the place.
As a visitor, there are so many options, from taking the tour of the used-to-be garden, to visiting local artists galleries. Visitors can enjoy the city's view on top of the location, and can visit Pasar Ngasem at the end of the journey.
People around Tamansari are helpful and friendly, they are accustomed to visitors and tourists. The local pride can be seen through their daily life and through the galleries. Ratio of local visitors and tourists: 40:60.
History & Background
Tamansari was built in 1758 as a pleasure palace complex for Sultan Hamengku Buwono I of the Kingdom of Yogyakarta. The 59-building compound included a mosque, meditation chambers, swimming pools, and a series of 18 water gardens and pavilions surrounded by ornamental lakes. The palace complex fell out of use following an earthquake in 1867, which destroyed several buildings and drained the famous water features. Over time, squatters began to inhabit the site, living among the deserted pavilions and building homes in the former lakebeds.

Every woman deserves pearls worthy of her own distinctive beauty. Some pearls are shy and tend to stick to their own kind. Ours prefer to mingle. Pops of color, the unexpected appearance of stunning genuine gems, and a unique cut of stone - all reflect the multi-faceted essence of the woman who chooses them. Dressing up or hanging out, pearls always make the perfect statement. Take that statement to the next level. Pearls Refined, defy convention.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
