Ft. Collins, CO: New Food Truck Serves Sausage for A Cause
The owners of Fort Collins' new food truck want to do two things with their mobile business: sell high-quality sausage and donate some of the proceeds to charity.
The owners of Fort Collins' new food truck want to do two things with their mobile business: sell high-quality sausage and donate some of the proceeds to charity.
Old Town residents, workers and visitors will have more lunch options Tuesday through Friday. There will be two food trucks parked at the MAX Downtown Transit Center.
Denver's popular food trucks and carts have suffered from a significant problem: unwashed hands.
The menu is simple: two sliders for $7 or a sandwich for $8 ($7.75 for the meatless options). There are 6 options to choose from including the classic beef meatball with house tomato sauce, shaved parmesan and basil.
Boulder's most recognized food trucks will gather this Saturday, October 5th at Sanitas Brewing Company to participate in the first Boulder Food Truck Challenge.
The service was quick and friendly, the menu simple: mostly sandwiches and fries. We got a milanesa and a pair of lamb sliders.
The food trucks offer a variety of lunch options that cannot be found elsewhere on campus. Sarah Ladley, owner of Ba-Nom-a-Nom, explained her truck's product: soft-serve frozen fruit.
The food cart movement that is popular in large cities throughout the West is showing up in force throughout the Four Corners.
The modern operation has utilized modern forms of marketing to help them succeed, "Social media and our website, people can go on there and check the menu, find out where our locations are going to be. Got to use it if your going to be in this business."
enver followed health inspectors as they searched through food trucks, looking for critical violations.

Dragon Soul Power of the Aspects buff to increase next week
The Power of the Aspects buff currently stands at 5%, which went into effect on Jan. 31, 2011. So it took about a month for the buff to increase to the next level. Blizzard has said the spell will continue to increase but not at a set interval, as was done in Icecrown Citadel.
The full blue post is as follows:
Don't need the help of the Dragon Aspects? The spell can be disabled by talking to Lord Afrasastrasz at the beginning of Dragon Soul.
We hope you continue to enjoy Dragon Soul, and that these changes encourage you to attempt a higher difficulty, or just keep pushing to down that next boss.

Located in an older neighborhood that is rapidly being upgraded, this cute townhome on 331 Bundy Ave in San Jose has two master bedrooms with bathrooms inside. This is the perfect situation for shared housing or roommates, and both rooms are quite large.
At only $585,000, this is one of the more affordable properties in this area, and the location near Santana Row shops and restaurants can't be beat.
It features dual paned windows, a small but functional kitchen with a breakfast bar, and a relatively large fenced side yard. A wood-burning fireplace in the living room is nicely tiled, and forms a focal pointn for the room. The kitchen counters are tiled, and the living room slightly sunken.
A skylight positioned at the top of the stairs brings in lots of light, and an octagonal window in one of the bedrooms is great Fung Shui.
This property is 1335 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. It is located in the Campbell school district, and is a two story structure. The roof looks newer, and is a composition shingle roof. Homeowners association dues are $221/month.

They provide a clean flame. Any use I've seen them for is for heating things in a lab (chemistry or biology), heating tools (burn in knives used in furniture repair), and cooking. The flame is blue and sootless. Not useful for illumination lighting. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Fluffy!
Facts about Fluffy
- Breed: Maltese/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Fluffy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Fluffy is about 3-4 years old. She is very playful and likes to be with people. She is crate trained and house trained. Fluffy loves tennis balls and will entertain herself with one.
Other Pets at Circle of Friends Animal Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fluffy, a Greensboro Maltese/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maltese/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Greensboro, or seeking a Maltese/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Greensboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greensboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greensboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Maltese/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Maltese/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greensboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

BRANCA - Two-Pocket Brushed Leather Briefcase
Do You Like This Product?
Get to know Daniele and Emi!
Talking directly to the owners has its advantages. Fill out this form to start the conversation:
The BRANCA brushed leather briefcase embodies the boldness of Campomaggi designs, this time in a very traditional briefcase that seeks a personality that stands far out from the crowd. The simplicity of the lines joins the natural leather - revealed by the meticulous hand-brushing process - to create a look that is honest and experienced. Compared to the ruggedness of a distressed leather bag, a brushed leather bag has the sophistication of something that has survived the test of time. The resulting impression is that the person wearing it has figured out a few things in life.
The interior of the bag is composed of a single unlined compartment with a large canvas pocket in the back. On the front of the bag you will find two large pockets.
Please note that the HAND-BRUSHED DISTRESSING these bags go through guarantees that no two bags will be exactly alike
Features:- Handmade in Italy with Italian vacchetta leather ... then hand-brushed for that perfectly vintage look
- One main unlined compartment with double clip-in buckle closure
- Two open gusseted pockets behind the buckle closures - each about 5.5"W x 7.5"H
- One zippered pocket (approx. 11.5"W x 6"H), a smartphone-friendly pocket, and a metal Campomaggi logo badge on interior back wall
- Reinforced leather carry handle
- Reinforced leather bottom
- Adjustable and removable leather strap
- Studded Campomaggi logo badge on the back
Giovanni Branca - (1571–1645), engineer and architect who provided the first known description of a steam turbine (1629).

Expecting a $5 increase, I'm considering dropping from AT200 to AT120 to save $15, but they've added a lot to AT200 in the last year or two, like Nat Geo and Science, and we like BBCA, so I'm torn. I need to drop Showtime to save $13, but I want to see Shameless and The Borgias. Decisions, decisions.
Why don't you call and ask if dish can offer you showtime for half off for 6 months offer?
Posted 31 October 2012 - 12:00 PM
Same thing I always do... stay with Dish... sometimes I change my programming... but usually within a month or so DirecTV and Time Warner raise their prices too... so the choice of switching to save money is usually only a fleeting thing.
+1 I learned my lesson with U-verse.

Hopefully it won't be much of a increase.

Me too...
Best of luck

If the increase is high, drop down a package.
Dish has been way more generous then DTV ever was when I was a sub there.

Same here.
We currently have AT200 plus BB@H w/722K dvr and it is pretty near the perfect package for us. If it's too large of an increase, we'll drop down to AT120+. But at this point our local cable options aren't that appealing and D* gets pricey after the promos are finished. That's why we stayed on after the AMC channels were dropped.

I believe a $10 increase for both packages and equipment would be suicide for DISH. I expect an increase, but not $20. I am already trying to figure out ways to make cuts to programming so I can afford to upgrade to Hopper/Joey system. A gigantic increase like that would force this 16 year customer to jump ship to D* or go OTA exclusive.
I think your right about that. A $20 increase would make a lot of people jump ship. I love my Hoppers but I would not stay if my bill went up $20 a month. I don't mind a little increase here and there. I think all of us are used to that but not a big $20 shot all at once.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 12:25 PM
Somebody's got to send a message to these clowns that we will not take being soaked year after year.
I suggest we all drop Dish if it is a $10 increase and plan to come back in 90 days as new customers with all the goodies of the new customer discount.
It would be quite a shock for them to experience a huge subscriber drop immediately when the price increase occurs.
Only if we act in concert will they see we mean business.

Posted 06 November 2012 - 04:43 PM
Hey, I imagined that Dish will drop prices $20 per month before raising them $10 so it will still be lower!
Believe my random rumor
But seriously... this far out... people are probably just making stuff up to worry about. No need to worry until we get to February... then you can panic if you don't like the next increase.
Though, be aware... DirecTV and cable companies usually raise their rates 1-2 months out from there too... so don't go somewhere in a panic only to find they raised their rates too!

Barrett's Esophagus
The esophagus is a tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Chronic esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus. Barrett's esophagus is a complication of chronic esophagitis.
Barrett's esophagus is a change in the cells that line the esophagus. Normal cells are flat-shaped squamous cells. Barrett's esophagus cells are shaped like a column. This cell change is called metaplasia. It is a premalignant phase that may result in cancer of the esophagus if it is not treated.
The exact cause of Barrett's esophagus is not known. It may result from damage to the esophagus caused by the chronic reflux of stomach acid. Frequent or chronic reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus is called gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD.

Hi Folks,
How do I distinguish between leaf and flower buds on a magnolia? My 3-4' magnolia galaxy has been in the ground 2 years.
I am including some pictures of the terminal buds. Are
Follow-Up Postings:
Flower buds are bigger and broader, widest at the middle. Looks like specimen is small and shrubby, perhaps a cutting that was not trained into a tree shape. If rather small when purchased is simply not big enough to bloom yet. Although small specimens of vegetatively propagated magnolia cultivars may be seen flowering in nurseries these things do vary. Another thing that happens is a small plant bought in flower then spending some years only making vegetative growth after being planted out. This often happens with camellias for instance, sometimes very small plants being displayed for sale covered in buds and then taking some time to resume flowering in the final planting site. I suspect the reason for this is growers using fertilization regimes that promote premature heavy flower bud set. |
Hi bboy, Yes the plant is very shrubbery. At least about 8-10 stems. I prefer to leave it like that than train it to become a tree which will take lot of pruning. Just curious how many years I need to wait for it to flower? Thanks |
All you can do is grow it well and wait for it to be ready on its own. Should be blooming by about head height if not sooner. As with orchard fruit trees you can only get so much production out of a small one anyway, so you still have to wait for the specimen to get some size to get the full effect whether it starts blooming (or fruiting) small or not. |
Hi Folks, I pruned all the suckers and just left the strongest 4 stems intact. This plant likes to produce growth from the base, I presume I hope I did the right thing, hopefully the main stems |
Actually reducing the total volume of stem tissue reduces overall size increase, because new growth is fueled by energy stored in the stems. But if you want to now try and train it into a tree shape then you will be proceeding as you have done. |
Hmm, I always thought excess starch/energy gets stored in the roots. I did read somewhere that the suckers use up energy and slow down growth of the rest of the plant. Oh well, can't undo things, I will just let the plant decide |
Allowing suckers from a rootstock to grow indefinitely without being checked eventually results in a decline of the scion because it is living as a parasite on the stock. The stock will, if allowed eventually make itself whole again by growing its own new top and pushing the scion aside. Where a plant is grown from a cutting the top and roots are all a single organism that is not going to have one part sapping another, like a cancer. Different parts of the same tree do get priority for energy use at different times of the year. At this time of the year the roots are allowed to grow longer than they are at any other time. During other seasons other parts of the plant are where energy use is concentrated. It's like an organization with a budget, with higher fund use being assigned by the budget committee to different departments at different times. In the case of a tree it is an energy budget instead of a monetary one. The leaves manufacture a certain amount of food which is then portioned out to different parts of the plant. Dormant periods are gotten through by storing energy in stems and roots. |
Hi bboy, Interesting, I just learned about what is a scion and rootstock. Looks like my magnolia could have been grafted. I see like a graft union (kind of like a swelling at the But the suckers I mention are all very similar to the scion Maybe I am confusing suckers? Are suckers always offshoots If so what is the growth from the union which is similar |
Hi bboy, A followup to my previous question. What if the rootstock is another magnolia variety? Then if I let the suckers grow, does that mean I have two magnolia varieties on the same plant? Meaning I will get different kind of flowers? I am a little confused. |
If the leaves are all the same then it is not grafted. If you get different-looking leaves (and stems) coming from below a certain point then you will want to keep these pruned out. |

Rose-Hulman is off to its best start in the history of the program.
The Engineers cruised 73-40 at Anderson, then followed up with a 54-49 victory over host Transylvania to take a two-game lead in the Heartland Conference. Reserve Alec Houpt (Chesterton) contributed a career-high 10 points against Anderson. The 6-5 junior sank five of shots and grabbed four rebounds.
Rose-Hulman (19-2, 13-1) avenged an earlier 69-60 loss to Transylvania (16-5, 11-3) with Houpt supplying six points, three rebounds and two blocked shots. They have won six straight.
Seniors Nate Kasper (Wheeler) and Tom Peller (Chesterton) have sparked Taylor's seven-game winning streak, ranking 1-2 in scoring with 13-point plus averages. Kasper scored a season-high 30 points Saturday and grabbed nine rebounds in a 54-49 victory over Marian. While the Knights focused on stopping Peller, who was limited to four points, Kasper cashed in 16 of Taylor's first 18 points.
Peller recently turned in his best all-around performance of 16 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in a 68-50 victory over St. Francis, following a career-high 28 against Goshen. Coach Paul Patterson's Trojans are 19-7, (11-3 Crossroads Conference).
UIC will bring a balanced approach to Valparaiso tonight. Hayden Humes (Valparaiso) is one of four Flames in double-figures. The 6-8 junior hybrid combines perimeter marksmanship — his .398 three-point percentage tops the Flames — with team leadership on the boards (5.7 average).
Last week he chalked up 18 points in a Horizon League victory over Green Bay. Saturday he followed up with 12, but the Flames (14-9, 5-5) lost to Cleveland State for the 12th straight time.
No stopping this pickpocket: Ball State's Chris Bond (Gary/Bowman) leads the Mid-American Conference in steals with 46. The 6-4 junior should more than double his previous season of 29. He has also blocked 10 shots.
Victories over Northwestern and Mizzouri in a weekend invitational at the Big Ten school gave Notre Dam its 400th dual win. Chesterton's Bill Bass scored points in the 100 and 200 butterly and two freestyle relays on the historic weekend.
Ball State's Bridgette Ruehl (Lowell) followed up a season-best 2:12.59 victory in the 200 IM against Evansville with winning performances at Miami of Ohio in the 100 (1:03.84) and 200 (2:19.69) breastroke events.
Indianapolis' Jerel Flournoy (Gary) set provisional Division II marks in the Tom Hathaway Invitational with victories in the 400 meters (49.49) and long jump (7.15 meters). In the Gladstein Invitational teammate Robert Gardner (Gary) was clocked in 48.05 in the 400. The Wallace grads also teamed up for a season-best 3:13.54 in the 1600 relay.

What is Reflexology?
Posted by Sen Moor on May 16 2012It is believed that reflexology was originated from ancient Egypt as supported by messages found in the physician's tomb at Saqqara in Egypt. However, others claimed that reflexology was originated from China around 2700 BCE. Whatever be the case, Dr. Fitzgerald, considered as the Founding Father of Zone Therapy, discovered an interesting fact during his practice of reflexology on his patients. He discovered that the application of pressure on specific zones of the feet and hands not only relieved pain but in the majority of cases also relieved the root cause as well.
Reflexology, similar to acupuncture, is a unique method of applying pressure on the reflex points of the feet and hands. The difference is that acupuncture uses needles and aromatherapy oils, which are massaged into the acupuncture points, whereas reflexology uses only the acupressure points of the foot soles, and hands.
Basically, all natural relief therapies converge to the idea that sickness is caused by an imbalance, disturbance or a blockage of energy in these channels. Reflexology considers that there are energy currents or meridians running down the length of the body. As a result of stress, badly fitted shoes, wrong posture, lack of exercise etc, the blood circulation to the energy points in the feet slows down; this may cause development of crystals that block the energy terminals in the feet.
During application of reflexology techniques, pressure is applied to reflex zones in the feet and hands corresponding to each and every part and organ of the body. The main purpose of reflexology is to apply pressure on these points so as to correct three specific sources that give rise to the development process of a disease: congestion, inflammation and tension.
Reflexology Reflex Points
On the feet (top and sole) there are thousands of reflex points that represent the various organs and parts of our body. On the palm and wrist there are some 45 reflex points, and on the back of the hand 28 reflex points, that represent a particular organ, region, or function of the body.
A combination of reflex points are used during reflexology therapies.
Is Reflexology Safe?
Reflexology is a safe form of natural therapy that uses pressure only – a pressure comfortable to the person receiving the reflexology treatment. The right amount of pressure applied is important – the pressure must be gentle, regular and firm so that the person is comfortable. Reflexology has the added advantage of being a very relaxing and pleasant experience.
The consequence of the three specific sources that impact on us during the development process of a disease namely: congestion, inflammation and tension is as follows:
a. Congested conditions are responsible for bringing about growths.
b. Inflammatory conditions bring about conditions such as asthma, colitis, bronchitis or sinusitis
c. Tension is responsible for lowering the efficiency of the immune system
How does Reflexology work?
The feet can be read by someone who has practiced reflexology for some time just as the blind can read braille. The reflexologist can feel the various reflex points, the presence of 'crystals' and interpret what is the possible disorders within the person receiving the treatment. The feet reflect or reveal the condition of the body, they represent the position of the organs on a smaller scale.
In order to establish the location of the affected area, the fingers are used to apply pressure to the foot. The spot where the problem is located is usually sensitive. The sensitive spot will reflect which part of the body is in poor health. When pressure is applied to a specific reflex zone the person may feel a response on the particular organ.
Working on these reflex zones systematically with pressure and manipulation has three main effects:
a. Reestablishes the normal functioning of organs and gland in the body
b. Improves nerve function, lymphatic and venous circulation and blood supply
c. Brings about a state of relaxation
According to reflexologists there are thousands of nerve endings in each foot, they are all connected to organs or some part of the body. This channel between the foot and a specific part of the body is called a reflex. Due to blockages in the terminal endings of the energy channels, sickness results.
The reflexes are arranged to form a map of the body on the feet and hands.
After diagnosis is made through the feet, therapy is started by massaging specific points on the foot. Only fingers, thumbs and hands are used at the reflex point at an acceptable pressure (not harmful or painful to the feet) to stimulate the organ or gland. Pressure is applied on the trouble spot and in so doing the blockage is relieved. When the energy channels start opening after 10 - 20 minutes of massage, the body's own healing power is activated. Wherever the pain or sensitivity is felt, indicates where the blockage is located. Reflexology is known to :
a. detoxify and stimulate the removal of toxin from the body
b. helps correct imbalances and malfunctions
c. revitalizes, rejuvenates and improves circulation
Foot Reflexology Techniques
Start the reflexology massage on the left foot.
Place your hands under the left heel and start massaging the heel to start spinal, lymph fluid and blood circulation. Adjust the pressure applied by asking the person if he/she is comfortable or wishes to have more pressure.
Relaxation Phase
Loosen the foot by massaging it all over slowly.
Use both hands to hold on the 'spine area' with the palm of the hands with the fingers on the top of the foot and the thumbs at the bottom.
As a relaxation exercise, little by little twist and squeeze the hands gently so as to twist the 'spine area' of the foot for about 10 to seconds each way.
Working on the 'Spine Area'
Apply pressure up the 'spine area' with your thumb from the bottom of the heel to the tip of the big toe.
Apply pressure down the 'spine area' with your thumb from the tip of the big toe to the bottom of the heel.
Apply pressure down the 'spine area' cross ways from right to left for the entire length of the inside of the foot.
Preparation of the Toes
Hold the base of the toe and move it gently in circular movement.
Hold the toe above the 2nd joint, move the joint in circular movement.
Move the very top joint in circular movement.
Stimulation of the meridian points on the toes.
Support the toe and apply pressure in circular movement (clockwise and anti-clockwise) for 10 to 20 seconds, start with the big toe and complete with the little toe.
Use the thumb to apply gentle but firm pressure – starting with the big toe and ending with the little toe.
Working on the 'Chest Area'
Use the thumb to gently apply pressure on the 'chest area' (the ball of the foot) in an upwards direction. The chest area is the ball of the foot.
Preparation of the Back of the Foot
Use the thumb on the top of the foot to put pressure from the toes to the ankle, one side of the foot to the other side.
Use the thumb to put pressure on the top of the foot from side to side (right to left) of the foot.
Working on the 'Liver and Stomach Area'
Use the thumb to put pressure on an angle across the area between the 'chest area' and above the 'waistline', then on the opposite angle across the area.
Working on the 'Intestinal Area'
Use the thumb to put pressure on an angle across the area between the 'waistline' and the 'pelvic' area and repeat back across the same area.
Additional reflex points can be found on the reflexology foot chart; note the direction that food circulates through the intestines, use your thumb to apply pressure in the same direction - the direction is different for the left and the right feet!
Working on the 'Pelvic Area'
Use the thumb to put pressure from left to right of the 'pelvic' area
Use the thumb to put pressure on the back of the heel
Complete the reflexology by gently massaging the foot for 1 to 2 minute
Repeat the above steps on the right foot
It is recommended that the person receiving foot reflexology drinks a glass of water after reflexology and to drink plenty of water during the next 24 hours to remove the waste from the blood.

Live A Life Free of Cancer
There is an endless amount of smokers, and a good portion of those people want to drop the habit for good. The issue is that they're addicted, and nicotine is one of the hardest addictions to overcome. Even with evidence that smoking can cause lung, pharyngeal, and oral cancer, among many other ailments. Because of these risks, it is important that you follow these suggestions and quit smoking immediately.
Don't try to do it on your own. Your friends and your family will support you if you let them know about your plans. Joining a support group is another great idea. Just talking with others that are on the same journey as you can give you the inspiration and strength to finally quit.
It can be easier to quit smoking if you are able to articulate exactly why you want to quit. Try writing down a list of all of the reasons that you should quit smoking. This can include the benefits you will experience, people in your life, or any reasons at all that are important to you.
Remember that your smoking is affecting not only your health, but those around you as well. Secondhand smoke is actually worse than first hand, meaning that the people who breathe the air around you are in more danger than you are. It is also important that you remember the emotional damage you will cause your loved ones if you were to become very ill.
While working to quit, do your best to reverse the damage that has already been done to your body. Make sure to eat foods that contain lots of antioxidants, which will help to repair your damaged cells. Think about even taking a fucoidan supplement, which has been discovered to help kill off cancer cells.
Now is as good a time as any to stop smoking. A future date will be too tempting to postpone and put off, so it's best to decide that today is the day you will quit. When you quit smoking, your risks for many diseases drops and continues to decrease with each passing day. This also alleviates the risks of secondhand smoke, to your family and their health. This is major reason to quit, as well.
The tips from this article have helped you learn how to fight against your addiction to smoking, something that destroys a lot of people in their lives and causes them long term health issues. So if you want to learn what it takes to quit, then the knowledge from this article is going to help you.
Cancer is known for its power to cause a mass production of abnormal cells, categorized as tumors. As these tumors expand, they start to inhibit the organs from performing their necessary functions. This disease has puzzled experts for decades, and due to their intense studies we are beginning to understand it a little more every day. To help you gain a better understanding of cancer, there is a compilation of facts and tips in this article that will help you or a loved one cope with the disease.
When battling cancer you need to eat a healthy diet. The healthier you eat the better your body will be able to fight the cancer because it will have the fuel it needs to fight the hard battle and stay strong throughout the process. Vegetables and fruits are always good choices. Remember that you can also take supplements to ensure that your body is getting the proper nutrients. One of the best for cancer patients, Fucoidan Force, has shown great promise in the fight against cancer. The brown seaweed extract is able to induce cell apoptis while strengthening and boosting the immune system.
In order to beat cancer it is important for you to stay strong and to never give up on yourself. You have to be willing to put up a fight against the cancer and not just let it win. Fighting to beat cancer means that you are emotionally strong and believe you will beat it.
It is important to read the warning labels for many products. Most often, people are unaware that household products they use every day contain carcinogens. When buying any products, make sure you pay careful attention to the ingredients they contain, and be cautious of warning labels that may say that the product has the ability to cause cancer in some cases.
Although it sounds like a pointless tip, one of the best things you can do with cancer is to keep your spirits up. Being in low spirits and not being able to motivate yourself to get healthy is just one way that cancer can spread and dominate your life. There's always a possibility of getting better, even in dire cases.
Be knowledgeable of foods that are rich in antioxidants. These foods can be added to your diet to help lower your risk of cancer while repairing damage that has been caused by carcinogens you've already encountered. By eating a diet with plenty of antioxidants, you are easily reducing your risk of various forms of cancer.
All in all, it is important that you or your loved one remember that being diagnosed with cancer does not mean that your life is over. Though it will be hard, there are many things you can do to make your fight easier and come out on top. Make sure you keep these tips in mind, as they might be just what you need in order to overcome this disease.

This article will give you some great tips for preventing those feelings and getting over cancer.
Avail yourself to support wherever you happen to find it. It's really helpful to find others who have successfully beaten cancer so that you can get advice and knowledge that you can use for your own struggles.
Lighten your personal load. Everyone has responsibilities that are necessary to life, however often people add much more than they need to. When your schedule is packed to the brim, it can leave you exhausted and unable to enjoy even the activities you actually enjoy. Take a hard look at your schedule and drop what is not absolutely necessary. You will breathe a little easier and can focus on conquering your cancer.
It is important that you come to terms with your diagnosis, even if you have a hard time dealing with it. Of course, you may experience a period of low mood, which is all too common for cancer patients. Only a medical professional can diagnosis you with cancer and give you medications or other treatments to help you feel better. Make sure you choose to see a professional who spends time with you asking many questions before giving a diagnosis. Be sure to discuss treatment options with your doctor, and find out what you can do on your own to help with the battle. Ask him or her about a fucoidan supplement, which is one of the most powerful immune boosters and can help to fight your cancer.
Exercise. Studies have shown that people who exercise have lower rates of cancer, and that those with cancer can help their condition by doing some kind of exercise. Exercising is not only great for your physical health but for your mental health as well, so start an exercise program. There are many to choose from, and you'll feel much better.
Stay away from negative people. Everyone has someone in their life who is negative about everything they see. Make your life a little more positive by getting rid of this person. They complain about everything, and your life would be better and happier if you were not sucked in by their negativity. Remember, negativity is contagious and you should remove anything that can bring you down.

You will see just how easy it is to be happier when you can see pretty things all around you. Also, don't forget to pamper yourself. When you have time, get a manicure and do your make-up. Feeling pretty will remind you that the person you were before cancer is still in there.
Hopefully you're starting to feel more positive and optimistic about getting over your cancer after learning all of the tips provided. Try your best to always have a good outlook on life, just remember that you're not alone. A lot of people get cancer and a lot of people recover from it and they all did it one step at a time, you can do the same.
Proper nutrition is an important part of being healthy. You should be doing your best, with or without cancer, to make sure that you are eating a balanced diet and supplementing where necessary. In this article, you will find a gold mine of helpful nutrition facts to point you in the right direction.
A physician can help you figure out the best vitamin or vitamins for you. There is also the option of finding a reputable, online forum to find out the good and bad of different vitamin supplements. You must do your own solid research as the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate supplements.
Keep in mind that you need minerals. Vitamins are important to a healthy diet, but minerals should not be neglected. They boost the efficiency of enzyme function, and they are essential to nerve and bone communication. The majority of fruits and vegetables have them, so it should be easy to get them in your diet.
If you struggle with getting enough iodine, think about taking a fucoidan supplement. This vitamin will also help to boost your immune system and fight off cancer causing free radicals. Like any other vitamin, make sure you do your research before purchasing especially since many fucoidan sources have been contaminated by radiation.
If you have dairy sensitivities, you need to be careful which supplements you buy. Be sure to ask the staff at the store you are purchasing from whether or not the supplement contains any dairy products. There are many non-dairy alternatives available, so you don't have to suffer to get your vitamins and minerals.
For men over 50, a different set of vitamins and minerals are required for optimum health. Vitamins like zinc, pantothenic acid and niacin all decrease as men age. Look for supplements that are specifically targeted towards men who are over 50 years of age for the best blend for optimum health.
Although all vitamins and minerals are important, some are even more important for growing children. When planning your child's diet, make sure they are getting enough vitamins A, C and D, as well as the B vitamins. Calcium and iron are also very important for your growing children's bodies.
If you are a smoker, you should avoid taking any supplements that contain carotene. There have been numerous studies done that show carotene can increase the risk of lung cancer. Since cigarettes can add to this risk, it would be best if you avoided taking carotene if you are planning to continue smoking.
When looking to add supplements to your daily diet, two good ones are flax seed oil and turmeric. They both are anti-inflammatory supplements and help to fight off sickness. Flax seed oil also helps heart, brain, and joint health.
As we get older we often discover that we have a shorter memory span and forget the simplest things. This is often due to a lack of vitamins and minerals in the system. By talking to your doctor or taking some form of multi-vitamin you will assuredly notice a big difference in memory and brain function.
To get the most vitamin C in your diet, try eating papayas. Papayas have much more vitamin C than oranges and other citrus fruits. In fact, they have nearly 150 % of the daily recommended allowance. They are versatile enough to eat by themselves or add to other foods, such as salads.
To get the most nutritional value out of an apple, leave the skin on when you eat it. You'll want to wash it very carefully, but the skin contains a lot of the fiber that makes eating an apple such a good idea in the first place. Peeling it takes away a lot of the benefit.
When you have issues with high blood pressure, talk to your doctor about taking calcium and magnesium supplements. They have been shown to reduce blood pressure and lower your risk of coronary heart disease. A simple multivitamin paired with a healthy diet can leave your heart healthy long into the future.
While many people have found success in addressing their iron deficiency through supplements alone, there are others for whom the supplements cause digestive difficulties. Red meat and leafy green are two of the best foods that you can eat to boost your iron levels. Choose lean cuts of beef in order to avoid boosting your fat along with your iron.
The key to feeling healthy during a crash weight loss program is ensuring your body has the vitamins and minerals it is losing due to your change in diet. By supplementing your weight loss program with at the least the major vitamins, C and E, you will notice that not only do you look better but you feel better as well.
If you aren't sure where to start when it comes to improving your vitamin intake, remember that you don't have to do everything at once. Start slow and incorporate new things into your diet as much as you can. Before you know it, you will have a complete, balanced diet!
Receiving a cancer diagnosis often sends a person into a spiral of grief and confusion, hindering your ability to fight deadly diseases. It is imperative that you become as educated as possible on how to battle your disease, and using these tips will help you do just that.
People who suspect they may have cancer should rush to the doctor right away to get properly diagnosed. The earlier the cancer is caught in the body, the better your odds are of beating this terrible disease and living a normal life. Early stages of cancer can be defeated with therapy and/or surgery.
If you are taking care of someone with cancer, it is important to address your own feelings and fears. By working through your own needs, you will be a better support to the person you love, and you will be able to listen to them more effectively. If you need to, seek out another person who can be your sounding board when things get difficult.
Make sure that at least one person around you understands that they have to act as your proxy for calling the doctor and other things if you are unable. Having cancer means that some days you're going to be too weak to do what you need to do, so someone else has to take over this responsibility to help.
To feel as normal as possible, do your best to eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water every day. If you are having a hard time eating, think about drinking smoothies and taking supplements. The coldness of a smoothie will help to make you feel better and you will still receive all of the benefits the ingredients have to offer. In addition, add some supplements to your diet to ensure you're getting all the nutrients you need. One of the best for cancer patients is fucoidan, an all natural extract found in wakame seaweed.
Understand that individuals who are battling cancer will need some time to themselves. Respect their wishes and do not force your presence on them if they need time to reflect and relax. You can also help by giving other visitors a signal to leave when your friend is getting tired.
To cut the risk of getting cancer it is recommended that you stay as active as possible. At least 30 minutes of exercise a day is encouraged as it has been found that being overweight can be linked to getting cancer. So find an exercise you enjoy and give it some of your time each and every day.

The Luigi Benedicenti Photorealist Dessert paintings are shockingly realistic. Whether you can believe it or not, they are painted using the 'Realismo Estremo' method to create such a convincing effect. After years of practice, Luigi Benedicenti has achieved the ultimate photorealistic abilities.
Capturing desserts to the extent that the illustrations truly look like something you would love to run out and buy, these paintings display an extraordinary talent that is rarely seen. Benedicenti has shown his incredibly breathtaking paints across Italy, New York and London, among others. The modern dessert depictions are a result of over 30 years worth of hard work and practice. However, the result is truly remarkable and unlike almost any other in the field of photorealism.

I don't do this alone. There are fabulous demonstrator helpers each year.
Debbie McNeill (firstname.lastname@example.com) puts out a FABULOUS 12 days of Christmas letter that I did last year. My customers LOVED it. I can't remember when she promotes it, but it really was inexpensive and completely worth every penny!!! – Kimberly Van Diepen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you so much for all of your hard work with the Holiday Helper. This was a really nice way for me to give all of my customers and downline a gift for Christmas filled with projects for reasonable price. – Kersten Mischka ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the second year I have used the Holiday Helper. I can't imagine how much work this is for you and I am so appreciative. My customers LOVE it and several of them have told me how they love all the new ideas. I had over 60 people sign up this year and I'm sure I will have even more next time because of word of mouth. I really think your creations have helped me stay in my customers head and this has increased my sales. I had better than average sales in December, which is sometimes a hard month. – Jane Wike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ….everyone (customers) thoroughly enjoyed it! I had many of them email me at the end thanking me for all my hard work …..

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens after I order the Holiday Helper?
A: You will receive an option immediately after successful payment to login to the membership site for more details. There is marketing material available for you to advertise in the membership site as well. You will then be asked to update a form with your contact information which will be used on all the newsletters. Once you have completed the form, your order will go into a queue to be processed. Depending upon the level of response, it can take up to 7 days to preview your merged newsletters. Once your newsletters are complete, they will be available for your review on the membership site. You can then import them into your email program or I will schedule them in CraftyPerson system. (See below for more information). At that time I would suggest sending an email and/or calling your customers to invite them to subscribe to your Holiday Helper newsletter.
Q: Can I post the newsletter on my blog or share with my downline?
A: In short, No. The Holiday Helper is copyrighted material and provided exclusively for YOU to share with YOUR customer base for marketing your business. Adding the newsletters to your blog would be sharing it in general with the whole wide world. You can provide the tutorials to your customers through emails or printed copies only. Please DO NOT forward to a community or team website, your downline, sideline, or upline. This includes any demonstrators who are on your customer newsletter distribution. Please refer them to my website http://holidayhelper.craftyperson.com instead. Having said that, I've added a new feature this year which is the Blog Posts. This includes a picture and some text. This information CAN be posted on your blog or social media sites. This is different than the newsletter and the tutorials though. It's a teaser.
Q: Do I need to credit the original artists?
A: No. The artists and CraftyPerson Production (me) have given you rights to share the Holiday Helper Customer version with your customers. However, as mentioned above, please do not distribute the information outside of your customer base or claim credit as the original owner for any content. The original artists have that right.
Q: How long does it take before I receive the newsletters?
A: After you submit your contact information via the form on the membership site, your order will go into a queue. Depending upon the level of response, it can take up to 5 business days to preview your merged newsletters.
Q: What am I suppose to do with the marketing material?
A: I will be providing you with blinkies to add to your blog and DBWS to draw the visitor to your site to opt-in to receive the Holiday Helper and become a subscriber. You will need to know the following to use the blinkies: 1) The web address your customers go to request the Holiday Helper (i.e. Subscriber Page) 2) The Picture URL (See Blog) 3) How to post a graphic to a website or blog (See blog) 4) How to add graphics to your blos's sidebar (See blog)
A: Yes, the Holiday Helper presents Canadian pricing, links and promotions. I also changed certain words (color, catalog, favorite) that will be spelled using the Canadian standard. Cool eh? Sorry, the projects do not work for our European demonstrators because of the paper size.
Q: What name will my customers see on all the tutorial documents?
A: All the documents (tutorials and resource materials) will have the following at the footer: Provided by: Your name, web page and phone number. Plus each and every newsletter will have your name, your email address, your website, and your phone number.
Q: What is your refund policy?
A: Due to the nature of the product, there are no refunds, so please take your time to review the information carefully before purchasing. If you have questions about the product, please feel free to sign up for my complimentary copy. If you are not sure of how the product will work for you, please test drive the system by going here. If you have pre-sales questions, please contact the service department.
Q: What type of support is available after purchasing the Holiday Helper?
A: I presume that you are comfortable with using the email program you have chosen. I also provide a way to test drive importing a newsletter into your email program before you purchase. My friend/downline, Linda Melcher, has a Holiday Helper Help Service to assist with implementation. You can also contact my service department and we will do the best we can to assist you.
Q: In the complimentary version there are names of the original artists/demonstrators and promotions for products exclusively for Stampin' Up! demonstrators. Will these be included in the customer version?
A: Absolution not! I think it is very important that your customers see only one name and that's yours. I believe there should be no confusion of who your customers should contact. I'm so proud of what the Featured Artists have created and I want to highlight that to each and every demonstrator. But for the customer version, the Featured Artists have given me rights in exchange for services to use the projects. The promotions that are in the complimentary version will be replaced with Stampin' Up! promotions.
Q: How do most of your customers send out the Holiday Helper to their customers.
A: Most of my customers have an email service, like Constant Contact. They will market their Holiday Helper Newsletters on their blogs, email and DBWS. They schedule their newsletter to start on a certain date (Nov 15) and then they schedule the other newsletter after either every day, every other day or twice a week. They then ask their customer to subscribe by using the forms provided by their email service before the start date. Basically market it just like any other recurring event you would have. Often I will be asked if daily is too much. I don't think so as long as the subscribers know it is coming, it's not a problem. Sometimes, waiting a couple of days or a week for the next installment can be agonizing. However, if you infrequently send emails to your subscribers and then all of a sudden it's a daily email…you will get angry subscribers. It's all about what type of relationship you have with your subscribers now and how you prepare them for it. Take some time upfront to tell them what they will expect.
Q: What are the advantages of the different email systems?
A: After you purchase the Holiday Helper, you will be asked to complete a form and select an the email system that you will be using. It is very important that you select the appropriate version since there are special requirements for each. If you need assistance implementing the Holiday Helper on your account, my friend and downline, Linda Melcher is available. Please refer to her web page here. Linda is a great resource.
Let me explain all the different email systems:
•Constant Contact: If you currently use Constant Contact, you will want to select this option. With Constant Contact, you will have the freedom to import the Holiday Helper Newsletters into your account. You could just schedule the newsletters at that point to go out to your current subscribers. However, I caution you to instead create a separate distribution list and have your customers request or opt-in to the Holiday Helper Newsletters. Getting 12-14 emails in a row can be a bit overwhelming to some. If you would like to test drive importing a newsletter into Constant Contact before you buy, please visit this link.
•DBWS: The Demonstrator Business Web Site (DBWS) is a must-have tool for any demonstrator, if for no other reason than the online ordering. But Stampin' Up! continues to add features such as the E-Cards Importing HTML. For more details see my blog post -DBWS E-Cards Import HTML Feature.
•Mail Chimp: If you currently use Mail Chimp or just subscribed, you will want to select this option. Mail Chimp is a free application. Same applies with Constant Contact above.
•Other: Buyers who have VerticalResponse, iContact, or similar systems, can still use the Holiday Helper. You will need to check with your provider to see if you can import custom HTML into the system. I have customers who use these systems, but I do not have access to them so I will not be able to provide support. Please feel free to test drive importing a newsletter into the system before you buy; as based on the nature of the product, refunds are not available. At this time the DBWS system is not compatible.
•Your Personal Email System: If your customer list is less than 30 customers you can forward the email from your email account. I will email the newsletters to you and you can forward them out to your customers. I don't recommend this option as HTML formatting issues can arise but I do have customers that prefer this method so I offer it. I will also supply you with a text version of the newsletter for your convenience. You can cut and paste the text based message (non-graphics) into an email and send it out.
Membership will be available immediately after payment
My products are designed exclusively for Stampin' Up! demonstrators. Only active Stampin' Up! demonstrators may purchase For Your Business products. By purchasing this product you agree to these terms and confirm that you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in good standing. |

Customer Reviews
I have never had Constant Contact or another service like that. I would like to try it out with my personal email. I send class registrations, etc…that way. Is that because it is a pdf and not html? Would a pdf version be available?
Thank you, Karen
Karen, it's mainly because there is generally no successful way to import HTML into your email service. The Email Publishing Service always have this option. I have had a couple of my SUN Members who would copy and paste the newsletter into their email program but I don't recommend it. You can have formatting issues that way. However, if you want to try it out, visit my free trial website at http://freetrail.craftyperson.com.
Debbie, I have a DBWS only. Am I understanding correctly that I can import the newsletters into my DBWS and then send them out? Do you still have to set up a subscriber service or can the newsletter be sent out to a list within DBWS?
Thanks for the help!
Melissa, you can import my SUN Newsletters into DBWS and send to your list you maintain in DBWS. It's a great new feature. I know you send me your test Holiday Helper and it worked great. I just sent you a sample of my Catalog Helper that was available in the summer. Feel free to send away to your subscribers in DBWS and see how it goes. If you interested in sending out consistent, information-packed newsletters, please consider joining my Stamping Update Newsletter (SUN) Membership. More details at http://www.craftyperson.com.

I am interested in getting this program but dont' see where to get it by itself. I guess I am missing something.
Frances, thank you for your interest in this year's Holiday Helper. The product is not available for purchase at this time. I'll be adding a purchase button when it's ready. In the meantime, have you had a chance to try out the free trial at http://freetrial.craftyperson.com? I highly recommend it so you feel comfortable with how the process works.
Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for the Holiday Helper. The two projects I've gotten so far are beautiful. The ideas are great and the work that was put into it invaluable. Thank you for sharing it.
Debbie – thank so much for sharing, that's very generous of you! All of your instructions are absolutely wonderful! It's so nice to be in touch with such talented and artistic people like you!
Thanks again!
Georgette Valliere – Augusta, ME
This was an amazing series and I loved loved loved each and every bit. I eagerly looked forward to each installment and was kinda sad when it ended. Definitely worth it.
Hi Debbie, I haven't received any of your Holiday Helper Yet!!! Saw you were away so was going to get in touch soon! Is it coming from the same address as this crafttech email? I have been checking online email but nothing. Hope to hear from you soon, Christine.
Christine, so sorry to hear that. I apologize. I'll asked my Service Dept. to do some research for you on Monday. If you can, contact Linda at my Service Dept (http://contact.craftyperson.com) and send her your email address that you subscribed with and when and how you subscribed, she can get right back to you. We don't want you to miss receiving all the great inspiration. Many of the subscribers have been inspired to create their own projects such as Jeannine Tarrio (http://debbiemcneill.com/blog/archives/2524).
QUICK TIP: I have found that if you subscribe to receive the Holiday Helper Personal-Use newsletters above, the newsletters themselves might be hiding out in your SPAM folder.
Stamping Successes!
YEA! Glad to hear you enjoyed it Angela. We would love to see your projects that you have created from the inspiration. Just post pics on your blog and send me the link in the comments or via our Service Dept at http://contact.craftyperson.com.

I have two different salvias, grown from seed, and both smell like pineapple. Both have red flowers, similar leaves and habit. One has very short calyx and other has longer calyx, similar to proportion in a greggii. Both seeds were sent to me as Salvia elegans. Little hint please? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Wed, Nov 29, 06 at 9:56
Can you post images of the leaves and flowers, with some common object for scale? The short calyx one is probably pineapple sage. |
There is also one that is Honey Sage that is a variety of S. elegans and is very similar. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Wed, Nov 29, 06 at 23:52
Honey Melon Sage has leaves as wide as the standard Pineapple sage, but the length is about half. The scent has additional components that shift the odor from pineapple to a honeydew melon to a degree. It has something of a musky odor in addition to the pineapple. It is an accession from the Huntington Botanical Garden. The calyx and flower are somewhat smaller than those of the standard. |

The second plant is pineapple sage for sure. The first looks like a microphylla to me, but the large leaved ones are not true red, more often fuchsia. Cherry Chief and the deltoid leaved microphylla are that shade of red, also Orange Door and Zaragoza, but the leaf shapes are wrong. Salvia coccinea has forms with those flowers and leaf shapes. The purple mottling on the lower, older leaves also suggests coccinea. Is it really pineapple scented? Coccinea has a distinct odor, not much like pineapple. Are your plants growing in a warm to hot shady area? |
- Posted by brenda_near_eno Z7a (My Page) on Thu, Nov 30, 06 at 20:38
Yep, the heart-shaped leaf is a puzzle. Definitely both are pineapple scented, though I don't think my sniffer is good enough to discern melon, etc tones. The flower and calyx do look like large microphylla to me, though not the leaves, but nothing like the scent of my other microphyllas. Yes, I have only dappled shade, and it's hot outside Hillsborough. |
- Posted by brenda_near_eno Z7a (My Page) on Fri, Dec 1, 06 at 11:07
The heart-leaf one is definitely fruit-scented - checked again. Could it be disjuncta or gesneraeflora? Is it possible that coccinea smells like fruit to me - how would you describe its scent? |
Ok, I just had to go smell mine (6:45am and crispy!). My coccinea definitely smells fruity, even like pineapple, and I never even noticed. :) Brenda |
