text: So here I am huddled up in my warm home appreciative of all I have. Outside rages a cold winter storm, the roads are all closed and no one ventures out to do the daily chores. Winter snow is beautiful, soft white pillows slowly form on everything, covering up the over used grime of the world. All life is forced to slow down take a breath and contemplate the now of being. It is good that we are given this gift of snow, it's light brightens up the otherwise gloomy darkness of a Northwest winter and light seems to win out over the cold, damp and dark.

He had a knack for knowing a good instrument–and a child in need–when he saw one.
Lettie was in the third row, wearing her new glasses with the bright pink frames. She'd improved a lot in school since she got them. Listening to the kids sing I couldn't help but think how much potential they had.
There were a lot of badly made pianos in the world but there was no such thing as a badly made child.
At dinner, I told my family about "the unveiling." That's when my son-in-law introduced me to Craigslist, a site where people put up ads for buying and selling. Right away I spotted some good model pianos, both nearby and in the neighboring states of Kansas and Texas. I'd struck gold!
Explore the realm of angels... Try 1 FREE preview issue of Angels on Earth magazine risk-free.
When I find a deal I drive to the piano to try it out myself. I make any small repairs the piano might need, clean it up the best I can, and Larry puts it in tune. Now Dayna calls me "The Piano Rescuer" for real.
You might say I got that job I'd imagined. Truth is, I'd had it all along. Bringing out the potential in a good piano isn't so different from bringing out the potential in a child. And the angels are hard at work on their musical influences. I hear it in their voices every time I accompany them in the auditorium.

From soft-closing drawers to creative storage options, these high-end kitchen cabinet features will appeal to home buyers and enhance value when remodeling.
Angie responds to a member who is concerned about painting her kitchen cabinets. She explains that refacing and reglazing are two affordable options that can refresh the look of kitchen cabinets.
Cabinet refacing experts say the project offers the appearance of an updated kitchen without the cost of a full-scale remodel.
Angie's Answers
Not really. If the contractor is very careful and you are really lucky he might be able to pull them out and then reinstall them after the new cabinets are installed. A lot of this will have to do with how well the counters were installed in the first place. Also, the existing countertops may not line up with the new cabinets exactly in some areas as well as they do now. The better option is to have the cabinets refaced, leaving the boxes and tops in place. Unlless you have deteriorating particle board cabinets you should be able to get a carpenter to do this. If you decide to remove the countertops and install new cabinets factor in new tops and be pleasantly surprised if they can be reinstalled afterall. Realize you probably won't find a contractor willing to gurantee not damaging the tops. If you do, dig in and research him well. He likely doesn't have enough experience.

As long as the counter is big enough Corian is one of the easier ones to work with. Since it does not have the ground or crushed stone that some of the other material have you can work with normal woodworking tools. A saw with a fine tooth carbide blade and a professional grade router with the proper shaped carbde bit can be used if the edge needs finishing. A belt sander helps on cuts also. The only problem you might have is if you need the joint kits for seaming as I dont think you can buy them.
When Corian first came out I could buy the slabs and fabricate my own tops and then Dupont went to a certified distributor system and would no longer sell to those of us that had been working with it for years. I will admit that they did have reasons for this as not all that were working with the product were doing it right.
Cabinet Refacing reviews in Fountain
my jaw dropped when I entered my kitchen. The cabinets are beautiful.
The Carpenters name is and he did such a good job, I was so blessed to have
him as my carpenter. He refaced all of my kitchen cabinets and installed two
roll-out shelves, two tilt out drawers and three pull out drawers.
I wanted a shelf under my cook top and and did such a good job at
making it fit, installed the metal space saving folding shelves that work
so well and was our project manager and I couldn't have gotten a better man
for the job. He thought of everything and made sure we were taken care of, and
Ms she is the nicest secretary, I think she is the glue that keeps
things going smoothly.
I would highly recommend on south Dolfield road in Owing Mills Md.
You will truly be impressed :)
Every year during the holidays, I start thinking about installing floor to ceiling bookshelves in my home office. Several years ago I had a contractor come out to measure for a quote. He never called with a quote, and even after several calls to him, he never returned my call. This is was an $8000 job, so it's not exactly small. Last year, I sent a message through Angie's list to a contractor and he never contacted me. So this year when I sent an email through Angie's list on 1/4/2015 to a third contractor, I didn't expect anything either. To my disbelief, called the very next morning (1/5/2015) and set an appt for the next day (1/6/2015). He arrived on time, took measurements, looked at the pictures of what I wanted and said he would contact us with a quote two days later. AND HE DID! We accepted the quote on 1/9/2015 and mailed him a deposit. The next week he called and said he received the check. They would begin working on building the bookshelves offsite, and would be ready to install on 1/23/2015.
Throughout the process he kept in contact with me. At the beginning of the week, he confirmed that he would be ready to install on 1/23/2015. Then on 1/21/2015 he said they were ready, and asked if we would like to move up the install one day to 1/22/2013. Bring it on! He and his crew of 2 arrived on time, were very polite and professional, cleaned up after themselves, and left us with the most beautiful built in bookcases ever. Right out of a magazine. I LOVE them!
Let me say that we have survived two custom built homes and one 10,000 sq ft office. While I hate to generalize, the large majority of subcontractors that we have worked with have not been reliable, and certainly not polite. They may have gotten the job done, but it was not a pleasant experience. But with this experience...it was totally pleasant. I couldn't be more pleased. In fact, we've already asked him for a quote on a second project! Five out of four stars! I'd recommend him highly.
I found Kitchen Savers and the MD home and garden show and figured what would it hurt to have someone come in and give me an estimate. What followed was ridiculous. Kitchen savers kept calling our home 3-4 times a week to schedule an appointment until we finally did. When we scheduled the appointment, they did not tell us that this would be an appraisal that had to be procured that same evening. This was not a true estimate at all. It's a sales tactic to push you into making a bad decision. When the salesman came, I would like to say that he did an excellent job of making us feel comfortable through the process. He did take measurements of the cabinets and showed us several different options that rainged in different costs. I think he did a fine job of representing Kitchen Savers and the product he was selling. He had many years of sales expertise, he was not a young trying to make a buck guy..... That being said, he didn't lead with the fact that we had to make a decision right there and then. If he had, it would have saved us both a 2 hour process. After my wife and I had picked out the cabinet door, and the hardware, and the finish, he then began to figure the price. I was suprised to find the cost was nearly the cost of a new cabinet. I was thinking it would be around half the price since the installation is MUCH MUCH simpler.
The salesman was not too happy when I told him that I wanted some time to price this out and look at my options. He just kept saying how I may be able to find someone cheaper, but the quality would significantly go down. He kept pointing to the fact that his rating was so good on Angies List, that I would not find a better quality in the area. That being said, I told him that I had no experience with cabinet refacing, and I was never in a position to make a decision that night, whether I could afford it or not. I just don't spend money that way, and neither should any of you.
If you go with Kitchen savers, just understand they are pushing you to make a quick decision to make a buck, not because they are sooo busy. That is just a lie. Do your homeowork first.
At first I communicated with emails because I like documentation. No email was ever responded to. Phone calls had time delays up to more than 24 hours. Texting seemed to work but with delays. During the project, I stopped in the office to communicate some concerns. I learned our project manager was on a 4 day cruise. Someone in the office wrote down my concerns but no one in management or anyone else responded. I had to wait until our project manager returned from the cruise. All the workmen, installers, plumbers etc. arrived on time. CThe workmen who did all the installation were courteous and cleaned up after themselves. We took the precautions of covering our furniture with plastic when the kitchen counters were installed. There was a significant about of "quartz dust" from the drilling of the holes for the faucets.
We purchased all the faucets for bathroom sinks, kitchen sink, the kitchen sink, water filtration faucet and garbage disposal independently from the company. The two new bathroom sinks were purchased from the company. The company staff were polite.
The lack of prompt communication, the lack of attention to installation details are the reasons I would not hire the company again."
He took all measurement and email me back couple days later just rough estimation by email just few text what include and final price no solid word press or pdf documents which include company name or stuff, so don't know who send that email actual real company or someone third party. No follow up after that or solid doc explaining the process.
I m still in for good company who can at least follow up after wasting one hour of our time and their time.

The very deep bowl of my water fountain has a crack in the side. For the past two years this has not presented a problem, however, I filled it yesterday and this morning the bowl was completely dry. Short of a thirsty coyote (yes we do have them on Shades Mountain) or several dogs, drinking it dry, it must be the crack!! Question--what can I seal it with that will take care of the problem without harming wildlife or neighbors animals? |

Daphne, I know there are nontoxic sealants used for leak repair in fishponds...maybe an inquiry over on the Ponds Forum will be your best bet for a good recommendation. I've used a clear non-toxic aquarium sealant on an indoor item, but you'll need something to withstand heat/cold outside. josh |

I had a concrete gargoyle that had both wings broken off, one in several pieces. Got some crack repair mix (I think it was vinyl reinfourced concrete mix in a small plastic can) at home depot and glued it back together thinking it would never hold. Been 4 years... |

Call Aquatic Gardens on Hwy 280 in Greystone area or Birmingham @ 205-995-9466. That is the business they are in - water gardens and fountains. |

Try veritex patch. This is the coolest stuff. I have some and am repairing all sorts of things around my house with it. It's better than duct tape. The adhesive actually gets stronger as the weather is cooler. So it should work for your leak in the bowl. hmmm, Your surface would have to be smooth though. |

MONTREAL, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Haemacure Corporation (TSX : HAE) released today the results of its second quarter ended April 30, and reports on its recently concluded strategic collaboration with Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Stategic Collaboration
As previously announced on June 3, 2009, Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Haemacure have entered into a strategic collaboration which provides Angiotech with license, distribution and supply rights related to Haemacure's all-human fibrin sealant and thrombin products, both of which are currently in development.
Bridge Financing
Also on June 3, 2009, Angiotech and Haemacure entered into a bridge loan agreement in the minimum amount of US$2.5 million, to be advanced by Angiotech in multiple draw-downs. An amount of US$200,000 was received upon the signing of a term sheet on May 1st, 2009 and an amount of US$1 million was received upon the closing of the transaction. Angiotech may, at its sole discretion, advance up to an additional US$1 million to Haemacure from time to time, in multiple draw-downs, for a total loan of US$3.5 million. Haemacure estimates that the loan of US$2.5 million will allow it to continue operations until the end of calendar 2009.
"We believe this strategic collaboration and bridge financing with Angiotech provide an important validation of our company and its product candidates. This also positions us for a larger, subsequent capital raise in order to complete the development and launch our fibrin sealant and thrombin products on the market, said Joseph Galli, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Haemacure. "By collaborating with Angiotech, a company with a successful track record of innovation in drug delivery, we are expanding the number of product candidates that can be developed and leveraging our technology in new markets with significant unmet needs" concluded Mr. Gal

hardin ketch owners
I'm happy to hear there are other happy Hardin owners out there!! We have been living aboard our 45 ft. Hardin for over 2 years now, and love it! We live in the Pacific Northwest, and our hard dodger with full enclosure is wonderful, especially in winter. Makes a wonderful sun room, also! Planning on taking it to Hawaii in April. Husband wants to leave mid-March to get down to California and then leave April across the ocean! We've only been to the San Juan's so far, as well as just out into the ocean for some day sailing. Does anyone have any experience with ocean sailing on the Hardin? Would appreciate any advice, stories, etc.

Sterling Bancorp CEO Discusses Q2 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We will have introductory remarks today from Mr. John Millman, President of Sterling Bancorp; and Mr. John Tietjen, Chief Financial Officer. After their remarks, we'll open up the call for your questions.
And with that, I'd like to turn the call over to Mr. Millman.
John Millman
Thank you, Ed, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to our conference call for the second quarter ended June 30 th, 2011. Strong business growth and solid asset quality were the two main themes for Sterling in the 2011 second quarter. Our performance clearly shows that we are gaining share in a resilient dynamic market leading to expanded business with existing clients and a significant number of new customer relationships. These market share gains are reflected in double-digit growth in loans, deposits and total assets.
At the same time, we are experiencing strong asset quality metrics. Net charge-offs were $2.5 million for the second quarter, half the level of the year ago period. Our allowance for loan losses covered non-accruals by 323% as of June 30 th, 2011. Now let me review some of the specific highlights of the 2011 second quarter. Net income was $3.9 million, an increase of 32% from the year ago quarter. This represents a continuation of the strong, positive momentum we demonstrated in the first quarter of this year. As you know, we fully redeemed the TARP preferred shares and warrants in the second quarter. This action was reflected in net income available to common shareholders, as we incurred accelerated accretion of $1.2 million or about $0.04 per share. Including the accelerated accretion, net income available to common shareholders was $2.5 million for the 2011 second quarter, an increase of 8% from the prior year . It is important to note that we had a sharply higher average share count this quarter with shares outstanding up $4.7 million or 18% due to our successful March 2011 common share offering. Including our previous common share offering in 2010, we have raised over $100 million in additional equity in the past 15 months and significantly to our already strong capital foundation. With the effect of the higher share count being partially offset by earnings growth, earnings per diluted share were basically stable with the year ago period, $0.08 for the second quarter 2011 versus $0.09 for 2010.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- State Oil Co. of Azerbaijan produced 8.4 million metric tons of oil last year, down from 8.46 million tons the previous year, First Vice President Xosbaxt Yusifzada told the state-run Respublika daily in a report yesterday.
The company, based in Baku, pumped 7.1 billion cubic meters of natural gas, from 7.17 billion, Yusifzada told the daily.
Azerbaijan, the third-largest oil producer in the former Soviet Union, expects output of 45.45 million tons this year, after 45.4 million tons last year. Gas production will grow by 10 percent to 28.28 billion cubic meters, Yusifzada said.

7 Ways to Boost Your Self-Confidence
Confident people have convictions that come from inside their souls, minds and hearts. They know their truth and are willing to stand in it, even when what they have to say makes others uncomfortable. Know your truth in all situations and share it with pride and conviction, knowing that your unique voice deserves to be heard just because you're you.
7. Never Apologize For Being You
Unfortunately the world is full of people, including our inner mean girls and inner bullies, that want to keep us small, playing along and being 'good' girls and boys. When you listen to them by apologizing for who you are, or by discounting your contributions, thoughts and feelings, you squash your self-confidence. Be brilliant. Be you. And never apologize for it.
8. Spend Less Time in the Basement, More Time in the Penthouse
We all have emotional triggers, things that evoke an overly strong feeling and reaction—anxiety, anger, worry, shame, despair, fear—especially during times of stress. Your job is to notice when you have one of these 'basement' emotions that erode your confidence, and then to get yourself back up into the 'penthouse' where emotions like trust, peace, love, joy and happiness live. Have your hard emotions, just have them and move back on up to the penthouse, where the view of your life is much better!

U.S. Edition
Aspirin has long been known to provide multiple health benefits: Pain relief, heart attack prevention, and possible prevention of several kinds of cancers.
A new study from Stanford University looks specifically at aspirin's role in reducing the risk of melanoma , a form of skin cancer that is on the rise.
The study found a significant association between frequent usage of the drug and this form of cancer; aspirin users were less likely to get melanoma than those who did not take aspirin.
This is not proof, however, that aspirin is directly responsible for lowering the risk. History of aspirin: From a tree, a 'miracle'
Why study this?
Researchers believe inflammation plays a big role in cancer development, and aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug. Previous studies support the idea that in certain kinds of cancers, aspirin may be preventative.
"Aspirin also seems to specifically promote tumor cell death in certain cells, and one [type] are melanoma cells," said the study's senior author Dr. Jean Tang, who is an assistant professor of dermatology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Researchers examined data from the Women's Health Initiative, a large sample of women ages 50 to 79 who reported information about themselves for an average of 12 years. The new study looked at nearly 60,000 women in this group.
Only Caucasian women were studied because melanoma risk increases in people with less skin pigment, and 95% of cutaneous melanoma cases are found in Caucasians.
Study setup
The study authors divided women into categories depending on whether they said they were taking aspirin, another kind of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), or nothing.
A "user" of a drug was someone who took the medication at least twice weekly. Prescription records and bottle labels were checked to verify these drugs.
Women also reported their sun exposure, and researchers controlled for this in their analysis.
During the period of the study, medical review confirmed 548 incident melanomas among participants.
Based on the entire data set, women who took aspirin appeared to have a 21% lower risk of melanoma on average. The longer these women took aspirin, the more protection they had. At one year, they cut their risk by 11%. Between one and four years, it was cut by 22%. At five years and up, risk reduction was 30%.
The results did not appear to be different in one age group vs. another, or whether the women had lighter or darker skin or a history of skin cancer.
Other NSAIDs and acetaminophen were not linked to melanoma risk in this study.
"The results of this study add to the results found by other studies that strongly suggest that aspirin may have anti-cancer properties," Tang said.
If aspirin does have this effect, that doesn't mean other NSAIDs don't also work this way. Tang said that the women in the study tended to take aspirin more regularly and frequently than other NSAIDs, so this may have affected the results. Study authors also did not differentiate between women who took painkillers twice a week and those who took them more often.
Other researchers are studying aspirin and other NSAIDs for possible anti-cancer effects, she said.
Information about the women's sun exposure was self-reported, and their activities were not controlled in an experimental setting.
This was also restricted to postmenopausal women; it is unclear what the benefits would be, if any, if women started taking anti-inflammatory drugs earlier in life.
Bottom line?
But the research is not at the point of recommending that everyone take aspirin every day. Stronger evidence would come from a long, expensive clinical trial to examine aspirin against a placebo for cancer risk prevention, which is hard to come by in the current stringent government funding environment, she said.
More: Who should take a daily aspirin?
Interesting. Next would be to determine what dosage is sufficient to produce such reductions; is the daily baby aspirin so often prescribed for those at risk of heart attack sufficient? Nice work on the initial study.
The required dosage is whatever you can afford to spend.
325mg per day. Too much will cause ulcers.
Anyone got the link for the study I can't find it
It's not up yet on the journal's website last time I checked, but I copied the link and the citation below (shouldn't CNN be doing this?)...
URL: http://onlinelibrary (dot) wiley (dot) com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%291097-0142/earlyview
"Aspirin is associated with lower melanoma risk among postmenopausal Caucasian women: the Women's Health Initiative." Christina A. Gamba, Susan M. Swetter, Marcia L. Stefanick, Jessica Kubo, Manisha Desai, Katrina M. Spaunhurst, Animesh A. Sinha, Maryam M. Asgari, Susan Sturgeon, and Jean Y. Tang. CANCER; Published Online: March 11, 2013
"A "user" of a drug was someone who took the medication at least twice weekly. Prescription records and bottle labels were checked to verify these drugs." What? these drugs don't require a prescription.
That's the problem with data-dredging. There were looking at data that wasn't collected specifically with melanoma as a primary outcome and aspirin as the intervention; so the best they can do is find potential associations. It makes a good initial study that should lead to further, more controlled studies, but on its own this will not change clinical practice.
Depends where the study was conducted.
Actually, the higher doses of ibuprofen (800mg pills) are only by prescription. Since the initial study did not ask 'how much' aspirin, naturally more studies will have to be done. So in some cases, prescriptions are necessary for particular dosages.
plushious – Ibuprofen is NOT aspirin. So no scrip needed no matter the dosage.
I have long been wondering, since Asprin is a willow bark active ingredient thing, why hasn't the "natural" bark to chew caught on? No packaging.
Bad idea. With that, there is no dosage control. Worse, the so-called "natural" bark will give you simply salicylic acid which will kill your stomach. Manufactured aspirin contains an acetyl group that minimizes stomach distress. Not to mention, there are likely other compounds in the bark that you don't need. Not everything "natural" is better. Aspirin is easy, convenient, safe, and dirt cheap. Where is the downside?
That's a valid question. One of the primary reasons to *not* chew the bark – aside from the reasons mentioned in an earlier reply is that there is a limited supply of willow trees and removing bark from most trees ends up killing the tree. So they'd need to start planting willow farms to meet the demand. Willow trees require a lot of water so they'd likely need to irrigate the trees. So you'd end up with people planting monoculture willow farms and using a vast amount of potable water in order to produce something that is easily synthesized in a purer safer and cheaper form.
What a bunch of bull, i have been taken aspirin for years, and i still got melanoma!
A 30 % reduction is not a 100% reduction.
Tune in next week, when another study says aspirin is bad for you.
Actually, except for people with stomach problems, I am not sure anyone has found a downside to aspirin.
@Mel Stricker, ever heard of Reye's Syndrome?
and macular degeneration?
Yes thank you!
tHE MAGIC PILL SYNDROME FITS AMERIKANS TO A "T."
Kay, you do not need to wait a week. Here it comes: (Extracted from http://www.hsionline.com)
"Those who took a daily low-dose aspirin were TWO TIMES more likely to develop wet age-related macular degeneration. "Wet" is the advanced form of AMD. And it sharply increases blindness risk.
Now, two new studies dramatically recharge the urgency of this issue.
Number One... About 5,000 subjects ranged in age from 40s to 80s. Researchers gave them eye exams every five years for 20 years. Regular aspirin use was significantly associated with wet AMD.
Number Two... A 15-year Australian study included more than 2,300 subjects. One of every four daily aspirin users developed wet AMD.
Those are frightening numbers. Frightening enough to prompt this suggestion from Whole Health Insider...
"If you're a regular aspirin user, you should get a thorough eye exam as soon as possible to determine your AMD status."
That's stunning. Imagine how many patients would agree to aspirin therapy if their doctors told them they would need eye exams to make sure they weren't going blind.
I'm going to guess... Close to zero.
Unfortunately, your doctor is probably unaware of this significant danger that lurks behind a daily low-dose aspirin. Crazy as it sounds, you might actually have to deliver this surprising news to him yourself. "
This is from the same site that says "Underground cures 'they' don't want you to have... shameful secrets Big Pharma covers up... unbiased health information your family needs now...". Anytime someone says they are unbiased and have secret information the 'Man' doesn't want you to know alarm bells should start ringing.
I think it's worth the risk if you're brown or black eyed. Macular degeneration is highly unlikely to occur in people with such dark eyes, even those with a VERY strong genetic link–like me.
I didn't see where they mentioned either taking regular Aspirin or 81 mg Aspirin is helpful. If someone were taking Aspirin on a regular basis daily, they could have a lot more problems with their stomach as opposed to being on the 81mg. "Findings" on just about every health issue are always posted....doesn't mean they are right. Studies come and go with no real proof that they actually work. My thought is that the researchers who are doing all of these studies, take the medication themselves and then report back to us.
Interesting comment....I have been taking low-dose aspirin every day for about 3 years.....Lately my eyesight has been getting worse and worse. And it is worsening very quickly. Thanks for the information. Time to conduct my own test!
Thats just called, "getting older".
I see this article as more proof that chronic inflammation is the cause for many of our diseases. IMO, our chronic inflammation is caused by a modern Western diet that has our fat intake out of balance. Our Omega 6 Fatty Acids are way to high in our diet compared to our O3FAs. O6FA cause inflammation, O3FAs are anti inflammatory. We are what we eat.
Apparently not. Recent studies of mummies shows that inflammatory arterial disease was as common several thousand years ago as it is now, and occurs at similar rates in widely separated cultures such as Egypt, China and South America.
Aspirin makes you more sensitive to the sun worsening your threat of getting melanoma.
Reading comprehension isn't your long suit, is it?
LOL. Yep... and no mention of the long term adverse effects of aspirin or the fact that many children die due to accidental pain killer ingestion!
Way to go CNN.. just posting something that will increase blindness and bring on other issues... people don't buy into the hype please :)
I take aspirin all the time. I use Ecotrin ( a brand name) because you can take it on an empty stomach. It takes a little longer to work (because it is coated) but that is fine with me.
I don't take ibuprofen and especially not taking acetaminophen (things like Tylenol) because the damage these drugs can do to your liver (this is even noted by the company).
Aspirin has been around for a very long time. The side affect benefits are unbelievable. The only time I do not take aspirin is when I might have an operation. Other than that aspirin is the wonder drug of the ages.
No cause-effect effect results here. Too many variables uncontrolled by the investigators. Poor study design. Keep trying, gentlemen/women.
How is it 'poor'? Simply tossing out unsupported claims doesn't do much to shore up your assertions.
Copywriters at Bayer are already furiously typing away the scripts for the new TV commercials as we speak
Ever heard of something called an advertising agency?
It's a cheap way to get a lot of health benefits. I take an 81mg. coated aspirin once a day for my heart. If it can protect against Melanoma that's great. My best friend died at 30 from malignant Melanoma. It was not pretty.
One of many problems with WHI studies is the self-reporting. I would probably answer "yes" when asked whether I take aspirin regularly, but the truth is I forget to take it (a daily prophylactic dose) quite often. I haven't trusted WHI data since their big "hormone replacement therapy causes heart attacks" error. They caused a lot of middle-aged women a lot of pain that was not necessary. Me included.
With melanoma in particular, the advice from physicians and researchers has long been that if you are genetically prone and have had excessive sun exposure in early life you are already on the road to melanoma. All you can do is monitor skin changes. So how can a passive data study (self-reported data) determine that aspirin taken after the exposure to solar radiation puts a stop to a progressive mutation? Correlation doesn't prove causation, and all that.
It's this thing called "statistics". Although you're right that this doesn't prove causation, NO epidemiological study can do that, and until we decide we're OK with human experimentation, that's the best tool we have available. Meanwhile, a 30% reduction is hugely significant, and can't simply be ignored, no matter how strong your Luddite tendencies might be.
According to the article, this and other studies have shown that aspirin can cause the death of certain tumor cells - so yes, this might be possible with melanoma/premelanoma cells.
Six Degrees, you need to learn some manners. Or grow up. Or both.
endeavor43, it also states that although the study found an association between aspirin use and a lower rate of melanoma, "this is not proof...that aspirin is directly responsible for lowering the risk."
This is nothing more than a loose corellation.
No answers from you, I see.
Is there anything aspirin can't do?!?
Make someone like Six Degrees stop acting like a di@k.
I'm 70 years old and take aspirin for 30 years on a daily basis to prevent heart disease. In 2012, I had a skin cancer (Clark II) on my arm.
And...what, exactly? Is there some point to this tale?
Since aspirin is so useful we soon will need a prescription from the doctor to get it.
Six Degrees:
Some of your comments show intelligence. Stick with them, they serve you better.
Contrary to the general belief, the Salix tree bark does not contain "Salicylic Acid" (the synthetic precursor of Aspirin). It contains salicin (a glycoside of salicyl alcohol), salicortin and leiocarposide (esterified glycosides of salicyl alcohol). In addition, it contains other beneficial antioxidant compounds such as procyanidins. Salicylic acid simply forms in the intestines when gut bacteria hydrolyze and then oxidize these natural glycosides.
This is very interesting and provocative study, and builds on work reported last year. Still, we don't yet have the evidence to tell us what this information means for people or why aspirin would have an impact on melanoma incidence. What we *do* know is that the majority of melanoma cases in the United States are tied to UV exposure and that nothing suggests taking aspirin replaces a good, common sense decision to reduce your UV exposure.
Sun safety is critical in preventing a melanoma diagnosis. This means skipping the tanning bed, wearing at least SPF 30 sunscreen, UV protective clothing and checking your skin. Looking for any changes in your moles can mean an early catch that can save your life.

Is it safe to serve food on Canna leaves? I use Banana leaves and it makes a great presentation but the Canna leaves look even nicer.
Searched google and found nothing. |

i know that there is a canna whose root is used to make 'arrowroot flour.' i've never heard of cannas being toxic, and I would assume that as long as the cannas were grown in herb-/pest-/insecticide free place it would be safe to serve food on them. |
I did a quick search online and found some sites stating that parts of the plant are poisonous if not all. Honestly, if you don't find the plants on any lists of edible plants, then it's best to just assume it is poisonous. But, that doesn't mean you couldn't serve food on it. I would maybe call some local nurseries and ask them what they think. Some plants are only harmful if bitten into. If you are just going to be laying bread or some other food that can just be easily picked up off the leave with out puncturing the leave, then you may be just fine. Some plants though, can have an oily like substance on the outside that can be poisonous. I doubt canna's are like that because if they were, not as many people would grow them because they'd have to be super careful each time the worked in the garden. If you do use them, just play it safe and make sure whatever is laid on them is a finger food that a utensil will not be needed because a utensil will puncture the leaves far too easily (even a spoon could scrap into the leaf's flesh. |

Deer don't eat cannas in my yard, and they eat almost everything else. The other plants that are similarly unmolested are often quite toxic. |
great feedback, thank you everyone! |
the darling deer have kept the canna's in my friends yard trimmed to less than a foot tall all summer---even with deer away spray'd on them! yes, virgina, the deer do eat canna! |

8 Rules For Fighting Fair As A Couple
5. No "buts"! Here's something that happens with just about everyone. One person may have mirrored beautifully and her partner feels fully understood and then, boom! She trails off into another sentence by continuing, "But … " That little word usually negates everything that came before it. It's a conversation killer. Avoid it.
6. Go easy on the questions. We tend to think that questions are good for conversation when in fact, many questions are dangerously loaded. Behind most questions is emotion. Ponder this one: "Don't you think that's foolish?" (You're really actually saying, "That's dumb!" in the form of a question.) Or, "Don't you think you should … ?" That's manipulation if I ever heard it!
7. Express emotion. Rather than asking questions, using "you" statements or impatient interruptions, ask yourself what you want from this discussion. What is your goal? What do you want to get across? What do you want your partner to know about you? Simply, what are you feeling about yourself, about your partner? Then say that. There's nothing more powerful.
8. Tell the story. We're story-telling creatures. Novel-readers, soap-opera-watchers and explainers. When I feel something, I will probably try to explain it to myself immediately, assuming that I then know what's going on. Maybe my husband turns his eyes to the clock while I'm talking. I just know he doesn't care about what I'm saying!
Telling the story sounds like this: "When you turned away from me, I felt lonely and unconnected. What I told myself about that was that you didn't care about me as much as I care about you."
A useful conversation falls apart when partners attack, defend or withdraw. These "rules" help to keep the connections clean. They are simple. They are not easy, but they will effectively change the way you address — and resolve — issues.

More reviews by specialribbons
I'm surprised at the negative reviews, because I actually really like this cleanser.
How I use it: I start out with my normal cleanser to remove any makeup. Then I take a pea-sized amount of this Neutrogena cleanser (yes, I use two cleansers), and smooth it over my face, chest, and the top of my back. I let it sit for about a minute, and then I rinse the cleanser off of my back and chest. I rinse the cleanser off of my face after I leave the shower and visit the sink, rinsing with cold water. This process gives me an interesting cooling sensation.
This is what seems to work for me. I can't really say I have a bad acne problem, but I do get spots occasionally. This has really smoothed out my skin quite nicely. I will definitely repurchase...though probably not soon. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and haven't made a dent!
I struggle with adult hormonal acne, so my skin is acne-prone, but also dry (a terrible problem since most acne products either over-dry or aren't very effective). I also have some fine lines I'm struggling with. This cleanser does a nice job cleansing, and removes makeup well. It is not as drying as some of the other acne cleansers on the market, and not as drying as the foaming neutrogena cleansers. I like this product and will buy again!
I'm loving the new formula of this face wash! I have used this face wash for as long as I can remember, in the old formulation. I had terrible acne when I was younger and thankfully it's subsided for me the most part. I know the old formula did something, because when I'd go without I'd break out. But when I purchased it the last few times the white part would separate from the clear part, and it was grossing me out.
I figured that since I was still breaking out, I should move on and experiment with other things. I used PanOxyl, but realized that bp products can really dry out your skin, and I'm paranoid that would contribute to aging even though I'm still young. Well I've decided to give salicylic acid another go, and after this face wash disappeared from shelves I noticed it came back. The new formula smells different to me, it's a nice smell, but I'm not too bothered by what face wash smells like anyway; as long as it gets the job done. Also the new formula contains glycolic acid! It feels very rich and creamy, and is not as drying like the old formula. I remember how it used to feel as though it was stripping my skin (but I was young and stupid, and thought that was a good thing).
I've learned that one face wash alone isn't going to tame my problem skin. It's the combination of products/ skincare routine. And I feel this face wash is a good part of my skincare arsenal. I recommend that you revisit this product if you've used it in the past and weren't crazy about it, it's a whole lot better.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i usually love neutrogena cleansers but this was no good. i have oily skin with some acne, instead of clearing up my skin it made me break out and my skin felt irritated. i stopped using it and switched to another neutrogena cream cleanser and my skin is now soft. i would not buy this product again.
More reviews by southerngirl1913
In the past few years I have been struggling with adult hormonal acne. I have tried so many products. This was recommended by a friend and since I started using it daily I have not had any breakouts. I read a lot of people are having difficulty locating this product. I was able to find it at several of my local CVS drugstores (on their website as well). I admit it has been extremely difficult to find at Walmart and Target stores.
This product has be re-formulated. The new ingredients are as follows:
Water, Cetyl Alcohol, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether, Glycolic Acid, Glycerin, Steareth-21, Polysorbate 60, C12-15 Alkyl Lactate, Cetyl Lactate
Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Panthenol, Benzalkonium Chloride, Menthol, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Cetyl, Phosphate, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.
I got it from ULTA. I have not used the original formula and only used the new formula a couple of times and like it - it doesnt dry out my face like the clear acne wash. I will update when I have been using longer. I just wanted to let everyone know it is a new formula and they have it available at ULTA for all those who want to give it a shot!!
i have modereatte to severe acne. i had used this product once. and then my mom through it away; and THIS THINK IS LIKE THE HOLY GRAIL!!! please someone contact me telling me where i can buy this.. or the best dupe out there.!!!!!!!!!
I picked this up and wasn't expecting too much from it. While admittedly less drying than the original version, this still leaves my skin feeling tight, and I don't have very dry skin! It kept my skin relatively clear, but I still broke out around my forehead, even though I don't have acne prone skin. After having this in my cupboard for a few months, the product started to settle so that I had a clear liquid coming out whenever I squeezed the bottle! I think that there are much better options in the drugstore that to be settled on this- Neutrogena's acne line disappoints me in general, and I know I won't be buying this again.
I Love this product! Have been using it forever! I don't have any major issues with my skin, just occasional hormonal breakouts. Well, i can't find it anywhere!!! Does anyone know what's going on?? It's been a few months now! I switched to a different cleanser with the same active ingredient and now i have lots of breakouts. And so does my husband, whom i got addicted to it... So annoying!
