What is a foot ulcer and how does it develop?
How can I avoid developing foot ulcers?Foot ulcers usually begin as pressure points, blisters, or calluses. It is important to wear shoes that protect the feet and that aren't too tight over the pressure points of the feet. Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and follow your diabetes medication regimen to stay in good general health. Check your feet daily for changes and practice good diabetic foot care. What are general diabetic foot care and footwear recommendations?Wash and dry your feet gently, including the areas between toes. Examine your feet daily for blisters, cuts, redness, swelling or other changes. Trim toenails straight across and gently use an Emory board to smooth sharp edges. Wear clean, dry socks that do not have tight or prominent seams. Wear shoes with a supportive sole that have a rounded toe. Avoid high heels or narrow-toed shoes. Do not use over the counter callus or wart remover medications. Do not soak your feet in hot water or use heating pads to warm the feet. What should I do if I notice a foot ulcer or other changes in my feet?If you are concerned that you might have a foot ulcer or if you have noticed other changes to your feet such as unexplained swelling, pain, or change in the shape of the foot, see a podiatrist or your primary care provider. Early treatment usually leads to a quicker recovery and also may avoid more serious problems such as a diabetic foot infection or amputation. Any wound that does not show signs of healing in a week or two should be evaluated right away. Do I need to see a doctor even if I have no foot issues?People with diabetes should have their feet examined at least once a year. Your primary care provider or podiatrist can help to identify problems such as early signs of nerve damage, poor circulation or other problems.

He completed his medical degree at California School of Podiatric Medicine, Samuel Merritt College in Oakland, and residency at Podiatry: Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition to general podiatry, Hart has special interests in diabetic wound care, and provides medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle for patients of all ages. |

Last Sunday I wrote of our usual Sunday bike ride; well, today's was different. Officially the group ride was cancelled due to weather, but when I got there the sun was shining. Feathers was there and raring to go. Her real name is Wendy - she is an interesting tatooed 68 years old with feathers woven in her hair and she's training for a trip to Tahiti that includes a long bike ride. Feathers and I planned to ride a mile back and forth several times until the rain got to us, but when we'd gone a mile, she wanted to go further, so I did, too. We went 3 miles south and turned around and came back. She told me to go on to beat the rain as my bike is faster than hers. The sky got ominously black. I ducked into a local diner and had some not too unhealthy breakfast, watching the thunderstorm come through. When there was a break in the rain, I rode the mile and a half to my daughter's house in a bit of a drizzle. DD is at church with the kids, so I'm Sparking on her computer til they get home. Our group leader, Janet, stopped by to tell us in person that the ride was cancelled. She took a picture of Wendy and me, but it's not yet on Facebook, so I'll probably post it later. My butt is a bit sore from yesterday's fall, so my 8 mile ride was probably all I needed anyway. The bumps hurt, so I had to get off the seat in a kind of standing position when we crossed railroad tracks and bad parts of the trail. Despite the weather and the bumps, I'm glad I rode today!!
I was writing this brilliant blog (LOL) about how I found my inner jock, when it disappeared in front of me. Oh, well. So much has happened, I'll just stick to my usual updates of my life in the maintenance lane: * First, I have water!! The kitchen now has a working sink, dishwasher, and ice maker. I have counters. There is still a matter of the cabinet doors, tiling the backsplash, and the counter edges, but I really can cook now. Thank heavens! Maintenance will be easier for me. * I went in faith. My hubby dropped me off this morning at 6am and left to go see his beloved Vols play football today. He took the car. It is 5.12 miles from our running start point home and I figured I could walk it alone. Didn't want to, though, due to dogs and high grass and bad traffic. I got a ride half way home and walked mostly on sidewalk the rest of the way. I really enjoyed the 5 mile group run. *I should confess, though, that a fast car startled me when I was crossing and I backed up on the curb, missing in my klutzy way. I scraped my elbow a bit and I bet my backside will be dark for a while. No real harm done. * While hubby is gone for 3 days, my plan is to eat like I was at a spa. I have plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, skim milk, tuna steaks and chicken breast, brown rice and quinoa. I've never tried quinoa before, so I'll let you know what I think. * I do have one meal out planned, though. Monday is grandparents day at my 5 year old's school. The baby and I are invited to go eat in the cafeteria. I'm hoping it will be something healthy, but if not, I'll eat a little and talk a lot!! Hope all my SparkFriends and SparkFriends-to-be are having a great weekend!!
Just 6 days of really good eating at the bottom of my maintenance calorie range and I registered a loss of 5.6 pounds at Weight Watchers today. I went from last Saturday weighing the most I'd weighed in 2.5 years to today being my lowest weigh-in since February of this year. What a surprise! There is a lesson here. I really don't think I should sweat these fluctuations so much. That said, it's far better to address a 2 or 3 or 5 pound gain than let it build to 10 or 15 or 25 pounds like I have many times. Still looking for the right balance. I'm not surprised that after 3.5 years of maintaining an 80+ pound loss, given my 5 decades of living overweight, I still don't have it all together. Honestly, I'm more surprised to see how well I am doing!! But that doesn't mean I'm complacent. I still want to aim for excellent eating habits and a very small range of weight fluctuation.
Another good healthy eating day yesterday, hitting all the nutritional goals I track (calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium, fiber, calcium). Despite the fact that I am just eating at the bottom of my maintenance calorie range, it didn't take me near as long as I thought it would to get back within my goal weight range. This morning I was there, near the top, at 129.0 pounds, down 5 pounds from Saturday. (Maybe water weight? I have been eating out more as kitchen is being remodeled.) I would like to stay around 126 with a range between 124 and 129, but my actual range is more like 129 to 134. So I'd like to lose around 5 pounds. For now, I'm just going to continue to eat at the bottom of my maintenance range and see how that works out. Definitely want to keep up my energy for running. I don't think that is just an excuse. It's not, is it?? I enjoyed a great 50 minute TM run today and felt full of energy!!! And while I'm asking questions, are any of you, my SparkFriends, tired of me moaning about little gains? Especially when the gain doesn't last but a few days? Perhaps I should start keeping these gains to myself!! I do have some WW friends that don't consider it a gain unless it lasts a month. I'm still afraid to go that long without tightening up my eating. How do you look at it??
* No change in the kitchen. (Grrr-rrr-rrr. Arggghhhh!) Predictable, but frustrating anyway. * Did 30 minute stationary bike and 30 minutes elliptical trainer this morn at the Y. * Last night I ate nothing after supper -- absolutely nothing. Hooray!! I haven't done that for months and months. It wasn't even hard. I was ready for it. Ate at 5:30 pm and went to bed at 10:30, did not wake up in the middle of the night, and did not wake up this morning ravenous. I hit almost all my nutritional goal yesterdays: calories, protein, fiber, calcium, sodium. I was slightly over on carbs and slightly under on fat, but will be sure to get in my olive oil today and cut back a touch on the fruit. (There's this new fruit stand between my house and my daughter's house and the plums, the peaches, the bananas, the honeycrisp apples, the berries -- well, yum!!) * Scale was down 1.4 pounds from yesterday. Only .3 from being at the top of my acceptable goal weight range and 4.2 over my "happy weight" of 126. In response to comment yesterday, I would love to be able to get an accurate body fat percentage reading in order to rely less on the scale for feedback, but my attempts with static measures and calipers have been obviously flawed. There is no BodPod close to me and even if there were I might be too claustrophobic to do it. I've also read that BodPod is not precise either. My body fat percentage has varied from 26.7% to 33.5% using the imprecise measures I have available. I think those rather poor numbers are due to years of yo-yo dieting when I undoubtedly lost a lot of muscle and gained back mostly fat. * In answer to a question on my blog yesterday, the qualifying statewide 5K Road Race for the national senior games is on Saturday, December 8th, in my hometown. Women's qualifying times are 27:21 for ages 60-64 and 28:09 for ages 65-69. If I don't qualify this year, maybe when I move up an age group?? I'm 63 now.

I have it: 168 I had it: 91 I want it: 80 My signature: 2
This innovative masculine aroma exceeds all expectations. Cigar perfume from the house of Rémy Latour (launched in 1996) is an intense, powerful and fresh fragrance that begins with notes of bergamot, lemon, pears, prunes and pineapple. The composition is heated by the aromatic notes of flowers such as marigold, geranium, jasmine and bay leaves. Lower notes will afford you the luxury of cedar, patchouli and sandalwood, blended with tobacco and musk.
Available as 60 and 100 ml EDT and 200 ml deodorant.

Try the Cigar 20th Anniversary edition. It is different to this one......Nicer IMHO.
I must admit that I really like those two fragrances: Cigar by Remy Latour and Double Whisky by Evaflor. As others fragranticians said, those are two of the best "supermarket" perfumes that one can find – and buy for a song.
Two perfumes, but a single dry, tobacco-ish, woody–aromatic and virile perfume!
Two in one – because is there something unclear for me: the two are – to my nose – 100% identical!!! This site says RL's Cigar was launched in 1996. If so, Double Whisky… is it older… or newer than '96?
It's obvious that one is the clone of the other.
Until I'll find the answer, I'll give both of them a deserved 8+/10.
My signature fragrance, the less people who know about this scent the better its amazing rich with spices and wood truly patchouli dominated. Not sure why it is the fruity aromatic group
now that i think of it this reminds me of chopard oud malaki
i want to also mention another fragrance that is now impossible to find is remy latour CIGARILLO , its not listed on this site but man was that an awesome scent aswell and it was even stronger than cigar .
Floral, fruity, spicy, masculine but not aggressive. Easy to like a lot. Difficult to find other fragrances smelling like this one. Excellent job, monsieur Latour!
Lovely and comforting. Masculine INHO, but not aggressive. Warm and sweet without being cloying, and OK for summer. A true cheap thrill!
I'm not sure if the scent I am reviewing here is the same as this one. The bottle is different and it's Cigar Aficionado. In any case, this is very rich in patchouli and there's quite a bit of amber. In some ways it is reminiscent of Borneo 1834, though this one came first. Borneo is drier than this one, and perhaps not as sweet, but otherwise there are distinct similarities. I'm guessing there is spice and a bit of tobacco here, but the softened/sweetened patchouli is the most obvious element. Unlike A*Men, it is not vanillic, and isn't that sweet. This is not at all like Cuba Red, which is dry/spicy and quite woody (and a bit "synthetic"), other than perhaps mild tobacco notes. This is well worth the money, unless it's been reformulated badly of course, though if you want a more balanced scent with tobacco (rather than one like this that is patchouli-dominant), the new formulation of Vermeil might be better (for this price range).
That perfume can be amazing on the RIGHT man , some men smell horrible when they have it on & some others smell so charming & manly ...I recommend testing it first & getting a lady's opinion also ...
I noticed that a frequently used term to describe this fragrance is "charming" - and that is a very accurate description for Cigar. The sillage and longevity on Cigar is amazing, yet there doesn't seem to be anything overbearing or irritating in the least. I think the reason not many people comment on the fruit notes is because they are so light and harmonize so well with the tobacco and patchouli instead of dominating the conversation and help lend the "charm" to this fragrance.
I was really having a rough and kind of sad week while I wore this but Cigar refused to let me wallow too much in my sadness. It's a "happy" kind of scent that feels authentically happy, if that makes sense. It doesn't try too hard and come off feeling manic.
My husband really liked this on me and a woman at work went mad for it and I had to show her this page so she could see what this was called and how much it cost - she wants it for herself as well - she wrote down the name and brand and was very excited. She thought the patchouli smelled terrific. Really can't go wrong with this little gem.
This scent has turned heads. Everyone always asks me what I am wearing, (I never tell them though). This scent, in my opinion is very masculine. The sandalwood, tobacco, plum and bay leaf is what I can detect most of. It is just a charming scent at an affordable price.
A pleasant suprise. I don't get the fruity top notes- it's all tobacco and wood on me. Lasts 7 hrs. and it's a good value too.
Huge under-dog fragrance that is both as charming as it is original. I have gotten plenty of compliments on this particular fragrance, more so than some of the other fragrances $100+ which I own. But it is nice and sweet and ambient. Do not miss this one.
a choice of the seducers.sexy and masculine.highly recommended.
it takes me back to my college time every time i spray it,it has the special capability to stick to your nerves,long live Remy,you did a great job,your cottage will be whelmed with Cigar in Heaven.
cigar is afragrance u never got bored of
it is one of the cheapest fragrances in my country but it is a magic it got me tons of complements
litterally in a country that rarely anybody will complement u for a fragrance becoz it is culturally inappropriate specially speaking regarding female complements but all of my male friends at work complemented me on this
it is suitable for all occasions all year round a really enjoyable scent and i i agree it has indeterminate oppening that soon settles to one of the masterpiece
youuuu mussssssssssssssssst try this one
Unknown cheap gem spotted !
Don't be fooled by the price, the name and the packaging (which is amazing, by the way)... Yes, it smells tobacco, but fresh and sweet one, not that one you smoke !
That sweetness is enhanced by a fruity tornado, which, after few unpleasant loud minutes, becomes a delicious olfactory fruit salad.
And then, a lovely bouquet de fleurs appears which slowly transforms itself in a woody calm base.
Cheap, original, shifting. One of the best "supermarket" perfumes ever !
But as said nglatech, don't blind buy it ! The fact that is a synthetic (but a good) one and a versatile perfume alternately fruity, floral and woody won't please everyone !
Smell : 4 / 5
Versatility : 5 / 5
Longevity : 5 / 5
Projection : 3 / 5
Overall : 17 / 20
Last longer than commander, price almost the same, more male attitude. recomend buying. love the packaging..
Check out my review on Cigar commander...
I used to wear this perfume in my college days. Today when I see the bottle and smell the fragrance I become nostalgic.It has the taste of the first kiss, how can you forget? I will relish the pleasure of using it today and also tommorow.
Cheap drug-store cologne covered with stale cigarette smoke. Less nauseating with time but never pleasant. I am looking for a fresh cigar (tobacco leaf) scent, will keep looking.
I smell pear and not much else. Still, it's a really nice summer fragrance and I enjoy wearing it. For the price, it's not much of a risk, but if you're seeking a cologne with tobacco notes, I'd look at Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf.
''Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke.''
Nothing but a fresh, warm, sweet and intoxicating scent. ''Cigar'' by Remy Latour is a fragrance that shows it's true essence and beauty of which the tobacco note is the most dominant. The Patchouli is another to love a long with the Sandalwood and Cedar notes.
The silage and longevity as always, depends on our body chemistry. So for me, I usually get 6-8 hours on my skin. 2 sprays on each pulse point does the trick to last me a little longer. I compliment this with a Lucky Strike and I'm good to go.
has anyone tried a cologne called Remy Latour Cigar Lounge 20th year selection ? it's unfortunately not listed in fragrantica and I want to know if it's worth the purchase..
I bought this based on the reviews I saw here along with my affection towards tobacco scents. All I can say is that this is a new obsession. It's warm, sweet and very inviting. It projects extremely well and is just an overall great fragrance. It smells like you spent the night in a humidifier at a cigar shop. I'll bet that this is the go to fragrance of "The Most Interesting Man in the World".
سیگار یه حس نوستالژیک برای اکثر ایرانیهایی که در اواسط دهه 70 در عنفوان جوانی بودن
یادش بخیر
A really lovely warm and smooth tobacco/woody scent. Similar to Cuba Red. Cigar, however, is a little stronger and more smooth. It develops on your skin after you apply it and seems to get stronger. Basically it's a mellow unsmoked sweet pipe tobacco smell with a really lovely sillage. Staying power and projection are very good. If you like sweet tobacco scents, you'll love this one. I love this - it really is GORGEOUS!!
This Perfume is different from other tobacco parfume,
this is definitely totally tobacco leaf,
at the fisrt try i thought this perfume pretty short longevity but i was wrong since i can still sense tobacco leaf even after 8 hours, this is definitely long lasting but it just has subtle to moderate projection after top notes.
Dont blind buy, try it before you buy
یادش بخیر چه حس خوبی بود وقتی اونو میزدم.بوی مردانه خاصی داشت
I am a tiny little lady who LOVE to pack a HUGE tobacco/leather/spicy punch with her fragrances! THIS does NOT disappoint! It is a sweetish spicy Amazing tobacco leaf scent that last and lasts on me...probably the best $12 i have EVER SPENT on a bottle. I think I could literally buy gallons of this for the price of my HG's (TF-Tobacco Vanille and Hilde Solani- Bell Antonio) reapplying is not an issue since it is so inexpensive. GREAT DEAL-TOTALLY WORTH THE $$ TO blind buy it! I layer it with Cuba Brown also for a totally different experience (also get high praise in my book)
Cigar is a very smooth nice scent once it dries down. The first 5 mins after spraying will be the worst of your life. However, if you survive, the next few hours will be very nice. :)
This really is an interesting scent. The only issue that I have is longevity and projection. After about 45 mins, I can hardly smell it anymore. Other than that, I reccommend it.
Enjoy Gentlemen......
This opens strong and I had high hopes of a winner but it becomes so quiet on my body after 20 minutes that I felt perfume naked. Shame.
If U Love Cigar (Tobacco) then this is for u. The projection is okie for few hrs, Like 3 to 4 hrs. Its stays good in cloths. Its for party or for going pub. But not for formal. It smells like u have been smoked. Good for Tobacco Lovers. I Like It....
To: FRLS16
Yes, I would say that this is stronger than commander. Commander is quite a bit darker, maybe sweeter. This is quite a bit more powerful, and probably a better scent.
Tobacco Notes good in it. If you wear it, all will doubt you smoke. Its worth. Its for Tobacco Lovers. Stays 3 to 4 hrs.
is this stronger than cigar commander?
I've been using this edt for more than 15 years now. I've used other other more expensive edt's like Monsieur carven, Drakkar Noir, Xerius and this is still my favorite.
my friend told me that even i've gone....it's sillage left behind for an hour...what a great...
I am not crazy about this fragrance but for some reason i got a lot of compliments when i wore this.For me it smell generic i believe it smells different from outside.It is cheap so it is good for the price given.It wont hurt to have it in the collection.
If you wanna stand out these days it can be easy.
With all the younger guys wearing the fruit loop scents and sweet as can be gourmands or orientals you can show some maturity with this, it has a TRUE tobacco note at its heart!
Havana by Aramis gets fancy and mixes many herbs and spices and others mix in the usual lavender, leather or ....................
I love Havana by Aramis and have come across others with a hint of tobacco but this one takes that golden leaf and shoves it in your face! And I am not a smoker.
Love it or leave it!
I agree that this is unisex ,a BIG tobacco-leather smell!
It combines fruits along with tobacco...
*I have used a 2 ml sample until the end...
I'm telling you guys, you gotta try this one. While your at it, try Cigar Commander- it is very good also.
If you like the A*Men fragrances, just imagine their DNA combined with a warm smokeyness.
Both Cigar colognes are very nice, but this one is probably just a bit more mainstream than Commander.
For the price, Cigar is not a bad EDT. It is long lasting and has a great dry-down. When combined with a spice and leather EDT, like Sienna it takes on a deeper fragrance and adds that nice touch of fresh tobacco to Sienna. Overall, a nice EDT for blending, or good on it's own. It's all a matter of what you like I guess.
Today maybe the design and the smell be a little odd yet still good. It's so aromatic and yummy, sweet and sticky.
It's too fruity and it could be better if it had a little more bitter woody or spicy notes.
For the time it was pioneer of modern perfumery and the scent was proper for all occasions.
who loves Dunhill London, Desire and Michael Kors Men, also would love this.
longevity: it's sticky and sticks! Longevity is just perfect, 10/10
projection: perfect, 10/10
Reminded me of a cheap B*Men. I ended up ditching it. B*Men is so much deeper and boozier. I am glad I didn't spend a lot of money on this one.
Bought this for my husband as I was looking for a sensual tobacco based scent. This did not disappoint. Crisp and slightly smokey. Love the patchouli and cedar base notes. I would wear it myself but promised I wouldn't as he decided it is HIS signature scent.
Mmm very nice. This shares a lot with Cuba red, would not be surprised if Cuba red was formulated with this scent in mind. Both are very pleasing. Cuba red just has that extra kick of heat to it.
I've got the deodorant (actually its my cousin bro's). But I smelt the EDT too. Its for men but I really like it. Its nice and smoky, not too strong. Plus I love the bottle and over all appeal. Its very different from scents I normally like.
Its good for its price!
I hate cigars, but I enjoyed smelling like one, or smelling my husband when he wore this fragrance. Remy Latour's Cigar distills all the best elements of the finest cigar money can buy, without the choking smoky smell.
This fragrance is 100% unisex, not too sweet for men and not too masculine for women. Be careful not to overapply. One squirt of this one is almost too much and easily lasts 12+ hours. Our 60 ml EDT lasted for years and grew more potent with age.

Unseen in London for many years, and never previously at ENO, Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini is forged anew at the London Coliseum by director Terry Gilliam and ENO Music Director Edward Gardner – the identical pairing responsible for the company's award-winning The Damnation of Faust in 2011. That production unleashed Gilliam's inexhaustible imagination as a story-teller of the first order, and Benvenuto Cellini offers this theatrical showman an equally rich canvas simply begging for his special flair.

Improbable's inspirational Phelim McDermott returns to direct Mozart's classic six-hander following the recent triumphs of Philip Glass's Satyagraha and The Perfect American at the London Coliseum. Ryan Wigglesworth, award-winning ENO Composer in Residence, conducts a strong cast led by ENO Harewood Artist Kate Valentine and internationally renowned mezzo Christine Rice as the duped fiancées, while outstanding baritone Roderick Williams (Medea, Sunken Garden) plays the cynical Don Alfonso, who sets the deception in motion.

Cherished for its popular duet, The Pearl Fishers offers a compelling tale of friendship tested by love. Amid Bizet's outpouring of memorable melodies, colourful orchestration and evocative choruses is a story that is not all sweetness and light. A painful love triangle exploring themes of desire and rejection, longing and loss, and religious strictures lies at the heart of The Pearl Fishers – themes explored in Penny Woolcock's admired original 2010 production. From the mesmerising underwater paradise of its opening sequence to the reality of designer Dick Bird's shanty town setting, Woolcock's staging seeks to reveal the truth lurking beneath Bizet's Orientalist confection.

Screw-top growler filled at the brewpub.
First imperial pint pours with a 1/2" dark brown head, over the opaque dark brown/black brew. Head dwindles at an average pace, with leggy lasting lace. Aroma is sweet dark roasted grains. Taste starts with coffee, chocolate and anise, sweet in the middle, and closes with a light hoppiness. Coffee flavor lingers after the swallow. Mouthfeel is smooth, and drinkability is very nice as well. Good brew all around.
Serving type: growler

Served: Sampler from cask available from New England BrewFest.
A: Poured nearly black with a thin, tan head.
S: For the first 30 seconds I tried this brew I had a tough time placing where exactly I had the smell of this beer before. Then it came to me. It smelled just like Chocolate and/or Toffee Taffy. There was a bitterness to the chocolate smell that could not only be described as chocolaty.
T: See above for general taste as well. More bitter that typical stouts I've tried. I don't know if that made a difference between cask and typical tap.
M: Full bodied. Very dry finish that seemed to evaporate from the tongue.
D: After one glass, I was finished with this and ready for a different drink. I didn't give this a bad grade because I was trying several beres at a festival and, also, aren't most stouts a bit filling.
Overall I would definitely give this another try if Moat Mountain was more readily available in my area.

Growler filled at Moat Mountain Brewery last night and poured this afternoon.
Fully opaque black with a full fluffy tan head and sticky, well retained lace.
Scent is roasty coffee and soft bittersweet chocolate. A hint of smoke perhaps.
Soft chocolate flavors, roasty notes, roasted coffee and a very subtle citrus hop note in the background. Not a particularly sweet stout, in fact there actually seems to be the tiniest hint of sourness when rolled to the sides of the tongue. The roasty qualities are perhaps a bit understated for an export stout, though they are certainly present. There's a nice bitterness that lingers on the tongue while you contemplate the next sip.
Oily and slick medium mouthfeel, little carbonation.
Very easy to drink. Each sip left me wanting another and when the pint emptied I refilled it immediately.
This is a delicious stout and I'd happily drink it again.

new study has revealed that some foods marketed to kids contain high levels of the potentially dangerous chemical bisphenol A, or BPA, which is used in the epoxy lining of metal cans. This concerns many health advocates, because children are believed to be most susceptible to the effects of BPA. Researchers at the nonprofit Breast Cancer Fund , which conducted the study, say BPA must be removed from food packaging, "especially in foods marketed to children." Manufacturers say there's no proof the compound can harm kids. Here, a brief guide:
What exactly is BPA?
BPA helps to make plastics stronger and more resistant to breaks, corrosion, and heat damage. The chemical is used in food containers, medical equipment, toys, paint, electronics, water bottles — even cash register receipts are coated with it. But BPA is also "known to mimic the hormone estrogen in the body and may interfere with the body's endocrine system," says Jennifer Warner at WebMD. Some health experts say they worry about the presence of any hormone-like substance in children's food.
Is BPA definitely unsafe?
The jury's still out. "The chemical has been linked to all sorts of reproductive and developmental problems, including cancers, diabetes, early, and attention deficit disorders," says Emily Sohn at Discovery News. Canada, France, Sweden, and other countries have banned its use in baby bottles, and other food and drink containers. But many manufacturers say BPA is perfectly safe. The dangers have never been proven in human studies — only animal and cell studies have been conducted.
What kinds of kids' foods contain BPA?
Researchers from the Breast Cancer Fund found high levels of the chemical in canned foods like Campbell's "Toy Story" soups, Earth's Best "Elmo Noodlemania" soup, and Annie's Homegrown "Cheesy Ravioli." While the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 50 parts per billion (ppb) a day is a safe exposure level, many of these foods contained much more than that in a single serving. Samples of Campbell's "Disney Princess" soup, for example, contained up to 148 ppb.

All working fine for me.
Hi Little weeeed, if you are putting the breeze blocks under the liner to make shelves, cover them with some old carpet/underlay to cushion them from the liner. With the pressue/weight of the water against the rough corners of a breeze block a hole could soon form and ruin your pond.
A picture of work so far might give us some ideas of how to help you finish off the edges. It doesn't have to be the same all the way round and ther are many different ways of doing it!
Do you want or need to reduce the size of the plant? Is it posible to post a picture of the plant?
Not sure what you are asking here. You have cleared the ground, dug out the weeds and have planned how you are going to cover and fill the area...all sounds that you are doing the right things in the right order and making a good job of it.
As you also say, glysophate is no good on bare soil but if any weeds do reappear next year you have the glysophate to zap them when they are in good growth.
You seem to have answered your own question - I think - or have I missed something ?
Really good advice. We bought hard wood furniture years ago and my husband treated it with oil/varnish too - when it was new and he was enthusiastic! Only now as the varnish is wearing off are we beginning to get that lovely silver colour - it looks better now than it did when we bought it imo. Never thought of using the pressure washer though but could speed up the process of losing the varnish in some parts. We leave our outside over winter too now!
I studied at the Castle Green Campus in Dagenham a few years ago(I think they only do floristry and balloons there now). I would recommend you go to Capel Manor itself as our tutor had to transport flowers, foliage, compost etc to our site which was a secondary school and we got no actual hands on work. I travelled to the Capel Manor campus for my Level 2 exam and enjoyed my afternoon after the exam wandering around the grounds, which are lovely.
The people on my course all had different reasons for being there - career; enthusiastic amateur gardeners; setting up a business. The age range was 20s - 50s with a fairly even split of men and women.
I passed the exam and thoroughly enjoyed the course; tutor was fab - now retired; learnt alot and still use the booklets of various aspects of horticulture on a regular basis.
Good luck!
Congratulations Joyce! This is wonderful news for you and your neighbours - well done!
Looks as though you have made a great start with the clearing of the site and the laying of a lawn.
If you have access to some well rotted horse manure from a local stables - quite often free, it would be a great addition to your garden. As has been previously mentioned, improving your soil and the hole that you dig will pay dividends as your shrub is going to be there for a long time.
Autumn is a good time to plant shrubs as the soil is still warm and it is easier to keep new plants well watered to get them established. Sometimes though you get a better range of plants in the GC when that plant is in flower or sometimes you like to see a shrub in flower before you buy... and sometimes its an impulse buy!!
Hi StanyeWest or should that be StanyeNorth - North London clay should let you grow acidic plants.
A camellia avoiding early morning sun would be nice - evergreen shiny foliage, reds available, spring flowering (if you are near an Aldi - reaonably priced ones are usually available in the new year)
A Nandina domestica - sprays of creamy flowers in May/June, evergreen with different coloured foliage throughout the year, red berries in winter.
A Hibiscus for summer flowers - red available
Full shade - Hydrangea petiolaris is a climber that likes shade - bright green foliage in spring, white flowers in May, yellow leaves in autumn and a tracery of red brown stems in winter - it would need some support in order to help it climb but it is a lovely plant; maybe ferns - Monty Don planted some on last week's Gardeners' World.
I'll have a think about your shady side - I'm assuming it faces north. No sun at all not even one end or part way up your fence? I'm assuming you have a fence...
Hope this helps.
All my post reminders are going in my spam box!! I have now stopped them and click on followed threads to catch up on threads I am interested in.
However I have been typing away some beautiful replies and then hit a button near the back space button and I lose the whole lot!! Not sure which button I am hitting but very very frustrating - if I could have found a face with steam coming out of ears I would have posted it !

Company closes six deals in December with aggressive strategy set for 2013.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Terminix announced the closing of six asset acquisitions in December 2012. These transactions contribute strong management teams, additional service offerings and geographic diversity to the Terminix portfolio, further highlighting the company's aggressive growth strategy. "This most recent round of acquisitions reinforces not only the Terminix growth strategy, but also the inherent value proposition for the business lines we are acquiring," said Chuck Fallon, president of Terminix. "We approach every deal thoughtfully to do what's right for the associates, customers and the company." Terminix plans to continue its organic and acquisition growth strategy in 2013 with a focus on both domestic and international acquisitions to further expand the company's geographic footprint. Terminix actively looks for a variety of pest control operators (PCO's) and, as with the businesses acquired in December, utilizes different integration models, from tuck-in to stand-alone operations. Collectively, the annualized revenue for these recent acquisitions is in excess of $10 million. The acquisitions include assets from: • McCauley Brothers Termite and Pest Services Operations in Rohnert and Pittsburg, Calif. • Pestmaster Services Corporate operations in Lancaster, Bishop, Bakersfield, Sacramento, Ridgecrest and Newark, Calif. • Pestmaster Services Franchise operations in Grover Beach, Calif. • BioGuard Pest Control Operations in Boise, Idaho; Salt Lake City, Utah; Nashville, Tenn.; and Virginia Beach, Va. • Springer Professional Home Services Operation in Davenport, Iowa • Foothills Pest Control Operation in Chandler, Ariz.
Upper Canada Organic Products announced the issuance of the Canadian Pesticide Registration for Mosquito Barrier. The active ingredient is 100% garlic juice.
The new mobile technology has been designed specifically to create professional quotes and estimates in the field.
Ten attendees joined BedBug Central in Lawrenceville, N.J. from Feb. 18-21, for the first of two 4-day Boot Camp's being offered this year.
The group collected and distributed 57 "provision packs" and more than 80 meals to four homeless "camps" in the Columbus, Ohio area.
In 2013, the company's revenue rose 3.2 percent, driven largely by Rentokil's North American pest control business.

I worked at Novartis full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Lots of networking opportunities, great working environments (buildings are mostly nice and up to date and with a lot of space and natural lighting), lower levels can get to interact with higher levels. Competitive pay and great life/work balance.
Cons – Having done PHD and or post doc in Novartis will not help much landing a position in there. Often management does not consult lower levels when taking decisions, and these are not communicated to all levels a it should. Communication and integration issues exist.
Advice to Senior Management – Avoid distressing situations for lower levels by improving intentions, goal settings and listen more before taking certain decisions.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Doting daddy Nick Lachey plants a kiss on baby Camden's head in touching Twitter snap
Nick Lachey and his one-month-old son Camden enjoy some bonding time in this cute Twitter snap.
The former singer is seen cradling the tot and planting a kiss on his head in the picture.
In a new interview Lachey revealed he named his son Camden after seeing the word on a road sign.
Daddy's boy: Nick Lachey bounces one-month-old son Camden on his knee in a cute snap he posted on Twitter
The TV star and his wife Vanessa were
driving to her obstetrician's office on Camden Drive, when Nick had a
flash of inspiration and suggested they name their son - who is now one
month old - after the road.
Nick told People magazine: 'It's kind of a funny story. I've always liked the name Colin. We thought that Colin would be the name.
'And John is my dad's name. But as we
got further into it, I learned that Vanessa wasn't a big fan of the name
Colin, so we started looking for another 'C' name.
Happy family: Nick and wife Vanessa are loving parenthood and taking it all in their stride
'We didn't really know anyone else
named Camden. It was such a neat name. We fell in love with it and
decided on it five or six months ago.'
The 98 Degrees singer - who is best
known for starring in MTV's Newlyweds with ex-wife Jessica Simpson - is
loving every minute of parenthood and doesn't even mind changing dirty
nappies because it makes him feel closer to his son.
He boasted: 'Diapers are no problem! I had a little training with the niece and nephew with diaper duty, and yeah, I've got no problem changing diapers. It makes for good bonding moments with me and the little guy.'

Article Free PassThe legacy of Taizu
In his 16-year reign, the Taizu emperor laid the foundations for the essential political institutions of a remarkable epoch. The political order of his dynasty combined to a surpassing degree freedom of discussion, innovation in bureaucratic methods, internal reform, peace, and stability. This atmosphere undoubtedly facilitated the pioneering in economic techniques, scientific advances, and achievements in philosophy, art, and literature that distinguished the Song period.

When Taizu died, the construction of the new state was far from finished. The ensuing peace and prosperity would also bring new problems calling for new solutions. Of the succeeding emperors, none quite matched him in stature or in character. But Confucian ancestral piety reinforced the attraction of his proven policies. The traditions of his active concern in administration and of close association with the bureaucracy's leaders persisted in greater or lesser degree among later Song rulers. Subsequent developments on the whole moved in directions indicated by Taizu. Their benefits were scarcely unadulterated; safeguards against the ambitions of military commanders, for example, perhaps hampered Song armies in meeting powerful foreign invaders. Still, the efforts of his successors to further popular welfare, to find and train the best talent for the civil service, and to defend the state's stability and the unbroken rule of the dynasty for three centuries (though only in South China from 1127) no doubt owe much to Taizu's concepts of statecraft.

New police stations in Chhattisgarh's vulnerable areas have
turned the tables against the Maoists
Security and development are the two buzz words used in reference to the Maoist-affected areas. Experience shows the two-pronged strategy of combating Maoism and ameliorating the condition of tribals cannot be implemented throughout in a straitjacketed manner. Whereas development works can be pushed into action almost immediately after the security set-up is established in the moderately affected areas, the same cannot be replicated in the severely affected areas known as "liberated zones" it is hard to get vendors to take up work in these Maoist base areas. The fear of life and property looms large. It is therefore wise to flood vulnerable areas with development programmes while the problem is in its nascent stage.
Shobha, a small village of nearly 1,000 people, in Gariyaband district of Chhattisgarh, was one of the many villages frequented by Maoists two years ago. Characterised by irregular electricity supply and the absence of culverts on interior routes, development projects had almost come to a halt in the district due to the rise in Maoist activities. Taking a proactive stance, Gariyaband was separated from Raipur and notified as a new district by the government so that the Maoist expansionist strategy could be checked. This paved the way for new police stations (PS) and security camps. The first PS, "Shobha", was set up in August 2011. Its establishment was celebrated by the villagers with much enthusiasm, as if they were waiting for that moment to get rid of the Maoists. Life gradually took a U-turn. The villagers were no
longer forced to feed Maoists and bear their torture. They don't have to attend Maoist meetings now. Maoist road blockades suddenly disappeared. But the real change in villagers' lives was seen when the police superintendent of Gariyaband, a young IPS officer named Ram Gopal Garg, made a herculean effort to bring electricity and ultimately succeeded.

Kentucky political leaders want to "tweak" legislation they passed last year to crack down on prescription painkiller abuse in response to physician complaints about burdensome regulations that impede legitimate pain treatment.
But Tuesday an expert on the epidemic of pain medication addiction said too many doctors prescribe the opium-based medications after being misled by pharmaceutical companies that such medication provides "compassionate care" and can be prescribed in ways to avoid addiction.
Andrew Kolodny, the president of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing and the chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Maimonides Medical Center in New York, spoke at the Kentucky Prescription Drug Abuse Policy Forum sponsored by the National Governors' Association.
Kolodny challenged the idea such medication can be widely used to treat pain effectively. Instead, he said, the worst drug epidemic in U.S. history "is fueled by the increase of medical prescribing of pain medication."
Last year the General Assembly passed House Bill 1 to crack down on the for-profit "pain clinics" and "doctor shopping" by those who are addicted to painkillers. Overdose deaths from such medications now exceed traffic deaths in the state.
But many in the medical community complained often and loudly that the new law and its regulations are making it difficult for legitimate sufferers of traumatic and chronic pain to receive treatment.
Lawmakers and Gov. Steve Beshear have said the law needs to be "tweaked" to respond to those concerns, and Beshear again called for such changes Tuesday.
He briefly addressed the group of about 100 gathered for the policy forum and later told reporters he believes recently enacted regulations have dealt with most of the medical community's concerns and the rest will be addressed in the current session.
"I think there are a few things left and I think we'll take care of them," Beshear said.
But Kolodny said many physicians were misled by marketing campaigns of big drug companies like Purdue Pharma, which introduced Oxycontin in 1996 and five years later was spending $30 million to market the drug.
Drug companies told doctors that addiction from such drugs was rare and they are safe and effective for chronic pain and can easily be discontinued. At about the same time, addiction rates and deaths from overdoses began rising dramatically.
Kolodny said some of the physician concerns are legitimate and there are legitimate uses for the drugs, especially for trauma, post-surgery pain and terminal and painful diseases like cancer. But he said the drugs really aren't that effective for chronic pain.
He said data indicates injured workers treated with the medications "are far less likely to go back to work." And, despite drug companies' claims that patients can be incrementally taken off the drugs, most users suffer "months of insomnia, irritability and cravings" after they stop taking the drugs.
Kolodny said the proper response to rising rates of addiction is to educate the medical community on the dangers of the drugs relative to benefits to prevent new addictions; using prescription tracking systems like Kentucky's KASPER program to link addicts to treatment, and to control supply of the drugs.
That means that medical boards and law enforcement work to reduce overprescribing, doctor shopping and black market availability.
Kolodny praised Kentucky for being a leader in taking on prescription pain medication abuse and said other states are looking to emulate some of the Kentucky reforms. He is aware of the backlash from Kentucky's medical community and thinks some of those concerns are legitimate.
But he also thinks the medical community tends "to respond in a very defensive way" when policymakers try to address the problem, blaming "pill mill" clinics and bad actors rather than realizing they are contributing to the problem.
He said pain medication should be a last resort and non-opiod drugs are often as effective for chronic pain. Some chronic pain, especially in joints, is caused by obesity and physical therapy can also be effective.
Attorney General Jack Conway, who supported passage of the bill, and Tuesday called HB 1 "needed legislation," but said he hears lots of complaints from physicians, some of whom are worried the KASPER monitoring provisions of the bill are being used to intimidate or spy on them.
"I want to assure the doctors and KMA (Kentucky Medical Association) there is not a snooping operation going on," Conway said.
Instead, the Kentucky Medical Licensure Board looks for "gross deviations or disturbing trends" in prescribing patterns in an attempt to identify over prescribing or over use by patients who may be addicted or selling the drugs.
Like Beshear, Conway pointed to some of the successes engendered by HB 1 including shutting down 20 pain clinics and a drop in prescriptions for the drugs.
Karen Kelly, Director of Operation UNITE, a drug education, treatment and law enforcement program operating in 29 eastern Kentucky counties, emphasized the scope of the problem. She said at least half of the children in some counties in UNITE's service area live with someone other than their parents, many of whom have died or been imprisoned because of drug addiction.
Kelly showed the group a short video of children in Rockcastle County schools who have lost their parents to addiction and told of an 8-year-old who had already lost her father to an overdose and then sat in her mother's lap as she died from a drug overdose. The little girl had asked to call 911, but others attending the party had told her not to.
"I think HB 1 is a great start," Kelly said. "But we need more treatment. We've got to stop creating new addicts."
