Do What You Can to Ease Side Effects of Treatment for Oral Cancer
It's likely that you will have physical concerns. Your cancer may cause symptoms. Your treatment may cause side effects.
Here are some common side effects from treatment for oral cancer and how to ease them. You may not have all of these. The treatment you receive--surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy--determines which side effects you may experience. We've listed them in alphabetical order so you can find help when you need it.
Anemia (Low Red-Blood-Cell Levels)
Your doctor will take blood samples from you for blood tests throughout your treatment. One thing he or she is checking for is your red-blood-cell count. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. If your body does not have this oxygen, you may feel tired. Decreased red-blood-cell counts can be caused by small amounts of blood loss, by chemotherapy, radiation, or by the cancer itself.
If your doctor tells you that you have anemia, take these actions to feel better.
Take short rests when you're tired. Avoid long naps during the day so that you can sleep well at night.
Add mild exercise, such as walking, to your daily routine.
Balance activity with rest. Save your energy for important tasks.
Drink plenty of water. Dehydration adds to fatigue.
Talk with your doctor about medications or treatments that may help manage your anemia.
Anxiety and Depression
Many people may feel blue, anxious, or distressed after being told they have cancer. These feelings may continue or come back throughout treatment.
Taking these actions may ease your mental stress:
Talk with your family or friends
Consider joining a cancer support group or finding a cancer "buddy" who can help you cope.
Ask your doctor about medications and other strategies for dealing with depression and anxiety.
Appetite Loss
Eating well during cancer treatment can help you maintain your strength, stay active, and lower your chances of infection. When you're being treated for cancer, a diet high in calories and protein is best. The problem is that side effects of treatment can change the way food tastes to you or reduce your appetite. In addition, treatments to your oral cavity may make it hard to eat.
You may receive a gastronomy tube temporarily or permanently to administer nourishment. If so, you'll work with a nurse to learn how to use and care for the tube. If you don't use a gastronomy tube, ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietitian if you are having trouble eating enough healthy foods. Also, try these tips to stimulate your desire to eat.
If you can, eat foods high in protein several times a day. These foods include: milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, meat, fish, eggs, beans, peanut butter, and nuts. Protein helps build and repair tissue, and cancer treatments cause you to use more protein than usual. A nutritionist can help you learn what is best for you to eat and drink during your cancer treatment.
If you can, eat high calorie foods to help you maintain your weight, such as margarine or butter, sugar, honey, jams, jellies, cream cheese, dried fruit, gravies or sauces, mayonnaise, and salad dressing.
Get plenty of fluids to help control your body temperature and improve food elimination. In addition to water, apple juice, and other liquids, try these foods to increase fluids: gelatin, pudding, soups, Popsicles, and ice cream.
If your mouth is irritated, avoid foods that may cause more irritation. Foods that are acidic like vinegar, orange juice, lemonade, or foods that can be chafing, such as crusty bread may cause pain.
Eat small meals throughout the day instead of 3 large ones.
Keep snacks handy to eat when you are hungry.
Eat with friends or play your favorite music at mealtime to boost your appetite.
Eat your biggest meal in the morning. Many people getting treatment for cancer find this is when they have their biggest appetite.
If you can, increase your activity level. Doing so may stimulate your appetite.
On days you don't feel like eating at all, don't worry about it. Try again the next day. If you find your appetite doesn't improve in several days, talk with your doctor or nurse.
Bloating and Swelling
You may have swelling after surgery or radiation. Also, some chemotherapy drugs cause your body to retain water. This water retention will go away when your treatment ends. Here's what you can do for relief.
Ask your healthcare team for suggestions on ways to relieve facial swelling.
Elevate the area that is swollen for temporary relief. Sleep with your head higher with more pillows for facial swelling. If your legs are swollen, keep them raised.
Some people find massage and physical therapy helpful for swelling. Ask your doctor if this might help you.
If bloating is severe, your doctor may prescribe a diuretic or water pill.
Breathing Difficulty
You may find it hard to breathe because of swelling from the surgery or pressure from a tumor. Depending on the location of the cancer, you may have a hole placed in your neck, called a tracheostomy. The hole makes breathing easier. You can also try these tips.
Sit upright because it will give your lungs room to expand.
Sleep with the head of your bed raised or sleep in a recliner.
Avoid things that make your breathing harder, such as high humidity, cold air, pollen, and tobacco smoke.
Ask your doctor or nurse to show you how to breathe through the trach hole, if you have one. They can also give you suggestions for how to keep the airway open and clean.
Bruising or Bleeding
Your doctor will take blood samples from you for blood tests throughout your treatment. One thing he or she is checking for is your platelet levels. Many types of chemotherapy can cause low platelet levels, as can the cancer itself. Lowered platelet levels is called thrombocytopenia. Without enough platelets, your blood may not be able to clot. And this may lead to bruising or bleeding.
If your doctor tells you that your platelet count is low, take these actions to stay healthy:
Protect your skin from cuts, scrapes, and sharp objects.
Shave with an electric razor because it is less likely to cut you.
Use a soft toothbrush to prevent bleeding gums.
Take steps to prevent constipation, which can lead to hemorrhoids and bleeding.
Call your doctor if you develop a rash, bleeding, or easy bruising.
Tell your doctor if you take medications that can affect platelet function, including aspirin or ibuprofen.
Chewing, Swallowing, or Talking Difficulty
The tumor itself, the surgery to remove the tumor, and chemotherapy or radiation therapy all may make chewing, swallowing, or talking more difficult. Some of these side effects are temporary. Some may be permanent. Try these steps to make chewing, swallowing, or talking easier.
Ask your surgeon about steps to rebuild areas of your oral cavity. This can help restore your ability to chew, swallow, or talk. Rebuilding parts of your oral cavity may be done during the surgery to remove the tumor. Or it may be done after you have gone through treatment for oral cancer.
Ask your dentist for help with dentures or other prostheses that can restore your ability to talk and chew.
Work with your healthcare team to learn ways to make chewing, swallowing, or talking easier. Many head and neck cancer teams include a speech and swallow therapist who can work with people to overcome these difficulties. Speech and swallow therapy can yield excellent results over time.
You may benefit from the placement of a feeding tube in the stomach, called a G-tube or PEG, which can be used for food, water, and medicines if you have serious trouble eating and drinking. Feeding tubes are usually temporary. They are inserted just during your treatment and recovery period. In rare cases, the feeding tube will stay in place if you are not able to fully eat and drink after your therapy is complete.
Occasionally people who have had radiation develop difficulty swallowing because of narrowing of the upper part of the esophagus, called esophageal stricture. Special tests, such as evaluation by a speech and swallow therapist, a video swallow study, or both, can help identify this problem. If identified, esophageal stricture can often be corrected by a dilation procedure. Your doctor can explain more about this.
Constipation, or difficult or infrequent bowel movements, can range from mildly uncomfortable to painful. Taking pain medications can lead to constipation, so it's wise to take these preventative actions. These same steps will give you relief if you are already constipated.
Drink plenty of fluids, especially water and prune juice.
Eat foods high in fiber, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole-grain cereals.
Take stool softeners or a laxative as prescribed by your doctor.
Diarrhea is loose or frequent bowel movements, or both. Diarrhea may be caused by medications or a change in your eating habits. It may lead to dehydration if you don't take these precautions.
Avoid milk and milk products.
Eat low-residue, low fiber foods such as the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast).
Increase your intake of fluids, such as water and broth, to prevent dehydration.
Ask your doctor about medications that may help.
Hair Loss (Alopecia)
Losing your hair can be upsetting because baldness is a visible reminder that you are being treated for cancer. Not every type of chemotherapy or radiation will make you lose your hair. Keep in mind, your hair will grow back after chemotherapy; however, it may not grow back in an area that has received radiation. Try these coping tips.
Consider cutting your hair before treatment starts.
Think about getting a wig, hat, or scarf before your hair loss starts. That way, you can get a wig that matches your hair.
Because your scalp may be more sensitive to temperature and sun, protect it with sunscreen and hats or scarves.
Your doctor will take blood samples from you for blood tests throughout your treatment. One thing he or she is checking for is your white-blood-cell count. Many types of chemotherapy can cause low white-blood-cell counts, as can the cancer itself. Lowered white cell counts is called neutropenia. Without enough white blood cells, your body may not be able to fight infection.
If your doctor tells you that your white-blood-cell count is low, take these actions to stay healthy.
Avoid crowds or people with colds.
Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer throughout the day to kill germs.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of these signs of infection: a temperature of 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, severe chills, a cough, pain, a burning sensation during urination, or any sores or redness.
Insomnia (Trouble Sleeping)
Insomnia can be caused by anxiety, depression, or your cancer treatment. Use these tips to improve your rest.
Keep a regular bedtime schedule.
Use your bed only for sleeping, not watching TV.
If you don't fall asleep in 15 minutes, get up, do something else, and try again later.
Avoid stimulants such as caffeine and tobacco, especially close to bedtime.
Don't eat, drink fluids, or exercise close to your bedtime.
Avoid long naps during the day.
Mouth Dryness (Xerostomia)
Radiation to your head or neck can cause changes in your saliva and in the amount you produce. Because saliva protects your teeth, tooth decay can be a problem after treatment. And, you can have dry mouth. These actions ensure good mouth care and can help keep your teeth and gums healthy and make you feel more comfortable.
If it is hard to floss or brush your teeth in the usual way, use gauze, a soft toothbrush, or a special toothbrush that has a spongy tip instead of bristles.
Use a salt water mouthwash to keep your mouth fresh and help protect your teeth from decay.
Use a toothpaste with fluoride, a fluoride rinse, or both to reduce your risk of cavities.
Stay well-hydrated and take small, frequent sips of water. Or suck on sugarless candies.
Avoid medications, such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine), that can cause dry mouth as a side effect.
Use a humidifier in dry weather to help decrease the discomfort associated with dry mouth.
Ask your doctor and dentist about medications and other treatments for dry mouth. You may want to use a special spray of artificial saliva to relieve the dryness.
Mouth Sores (Mucositis)
Mouth sores can be a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation to your oral cavity. These sores may hurt and make eating an unpleasant experience. Taking these actions can ease the pain.
To prevent sores, take these actions.
Brush your teeth after meals and before bedtime.
Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water plus salt or baking soda several times a day.
Keep your mouth and lips clean and moist.
Use sugar-free candies or gums to increase moisture in your mouth.
To ease the pain if you get sores in your mouth, take these actions.
Avoid alcohol and mouthwashes containing alcohol because they may irritate the sores.
Avoid hot, rough, or spicy foods because they may irritate the sores.
Avoid tobacco because it may irritate the sores. Smoking can also make you more susceptible to sores.
Ask your doctor about topical mouth medications.
Take over-the-counter pain medication, such as Tylenol (acetaminophen), if necessary. Talk to your doctor about whether prescription pain medication might be necessary.
Call your doctor or nurse if your temperature reaches 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
Nausea or Vomiting
Nausea or vomiting as a result of chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer may range from barely noticeable to severe. It may help you to understand the different types of nausea.
Acute-onset nausea and vomiting occurs within a few minutes to several hours after chemotherapy. The worst episodes tend to be 5 to 6 hours after treatment, and the symptoms end within the first 24 hours.
Delayed-onset vomiting develops more than 24 hours after treatment.
Anticipatory nausea and vomiting are learned from previous experiences with vomiting. As you prepare for the next dose of chemotherapy, you may anticipate that nausea and vomiting will occur as it did previously, which triggers the actual reflex.
Breakthrough vomiting occurs despite treatment to prevent it. It requires additional treatment.
Refractory vomiting occurs after one or more chemotherapy treatments--essentially, you're no longer responding to antinausea treatments.
To prevent nausea, take these actions. Most nausea can be prevented.
Ask your doctor about getting a prescription medicine to control nausea and vomiting. Then make sure you take it as directed. If you are vomiting and cannot take the medicine, call your doctor or nurse.
If you have bothersome nausea and vomiting even though you are taking your medicine, call your doctor or nurse. Your medicine can be changed or new medicines can be added.
Avoid constipation.
To help ease nausea or vomiting if you have it, try these tips.
Try eating foods and drinking beverages that were easy to take or made you feel better when you've had the flu or were nauseated from stress. These might be bland foods, sour candy, pickles, dry crackers, ginger ale, flat soda, or other things.
Do not eat fatty or fried foods, very spicy foods, or very sweet foods.
Eat room-temperature or cold foods. The smells from hot foods may make your nausea worse.
Ask your doctor or nurse if he or she can help you learn a relaxation exercise. This may make you feel less anxious and more in control, and decrease your nausea.
Neutropenia (Low White-Blood-Cell Levels)
See "Infections."
Numbness, Tingling, or Muscle Weakness in Your Hands or Feet (Peripheral Neuropathy)
If you have numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands or feet, you may have nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy. This can be a side effect of chemotherapy or a symptom of the cancer itself. Other signs of this problem are ringing in your ears or trouble feeling hot or cold. If you have symptoms such as these, your doctor may adjust your dose. Or your doctor may prescribe medicine or some vitamins. You should also take these precautions to protect yourself.
Take extra care walking and moving so that you don't fall. Wear only well-fitting shoes at home and away from it.
Use warm, not hot, water for bathing to prevent burns because you aren't as sensitive to water temperature. Consider using a shower chair or railing to improve your stability.
If your daily activities become too difficult, ask your doctor for a referral to an occupational therapist or a physical therapist. They can help teach you new ways of doing things so that you can stay as active as possible.
Take extra care when driving (you may have trouble feeling the gas and brake pedals). Ask friends and family to drive you places.
Pain might be from the tumor, from the surgery, or from other treatments. Try these tips to ease pain.
Take your pain medications regularly; don't wait for your pain to become severe. (Take steps to avoid constipation, a common side effect of pain medications.)
Change your activity level. See if you feel better if you rest more or move around more--either may help.
Distract yourself with music, funny videos, or computer games.
Use heat, cold, relaxation techniques (like yoga or meditation), or guided imagery exercises. Ask your doctor or nurse where you can learn more about these.
Sexuality/Reproductive Issues
Chemotherapy and the stress of dealing with cancer can have effects on your sexual health. Sexuality issues may include reduced libido (interest in and ability to have sex) and infertility. Taking these actions may help you cope with these changes.
Talk to your partner about changes in your desire or ability to have sex.
Explore new ways to share affection and intimacy.
See a counselor who specializes in sexual problems.
If childbearing is an issue, talk with your doctor about this before your treatment. There may be ways to store sperm in a bank or protect your ovaries.
Talk with your doctor about birth control options. Women receiving chemotherapy and radiation should not get pregnant, and men receiving chemotherapy should not get anyone pregnant.
Skin Dryness or Irritation
Radiation treatment can cause dry or red skin in the area being treated.
Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen of at least 15 SPF (sun protection factor).
Ask your doctor or nurse what kind of lotion you can use to moisturize and soothe your skin. Don't use any lotion, soap, deodorant, sun block, cologne, cosmetics, or powder on your skin within 2 hours after treatment because they may cause irritation.
Wear loose, soft clothing over the treated area.
Don't scratch, rub, or scrub treated skin. After washing, gently blot dry.
Don't bandage skin with tape. If you must bandage it, use paper tape, and ask your nurse to help you place the dressings so that you can avoid irritation.
Don't apply heat or cold to the treated area. Bathe only with lukewarm water.
If you must shave the treated area, use only an electric shaver because it is less irritating to your skin. Don't use lotion before shaving. And don't use hair-removal products. Both can irritate your skin.
Keep your nails well trimmed and clean so you don't accidentally scratch yourself.
Thinking and Remembering Problems
You may have mild problems with concentration and memory during and after chemotherapy. Being tired can make this worse.
Taking these actions may help.
Make lists and write down important information.
Use other tools to help organize your life, such as calendars, pill dispensers, or alarm clocks.
Take advantage of family or friends who offer to go to your doctors visits with you--an extra person along for the visit can help remember detailed information you might receive.
Thrombocytopenia (Low Platelet Levels)
See "Bruising."
Tiredness or fatigue is a very common side effect from chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It is also a symptom of anemia, which is a low red-blood-cell count as noted from blood tests. Whatever the cause, you may feel only slightly tired, or you may suffer from extreme fatigue.
Taking these actions may help increase your energy level. Fatigue can last four to six weeks after treatment ends.
Take action to treat a poor appetite, because eating improperly can make you tired.
If your fatigue is severe or chronic, ask for help with routine tasks that can drain your energy, such as grocery shopping or housework. Some people reduce their hours at work.
After radiation to the head and neck area, many people develop low thyroid gland function. The thyroid gland normally makes a hormone that is associated with the body's metabolism. Radiation can eventually cause low thyroid function, called hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can cause fatigue. If appropriate, your doctor can test you for this. Treatment for hypothyroidism is available and highly effective.
Follow tips under "Anemia."

What do you think of the value the city has placed on your home for property tax purposes?
I don't know if the State is going to give us some type of property tax relief but there was talk of it. To me it seems the counties and cities are increasing the taxes ahead of the presumed tax relief schedules so in reality the money is just going to the counties and cities anyway. Why don't they quit mentally torturing us and just give the money to the counties and cities and leave us out of the big money grab. Talk about dysfunctional my oh my!!

States lack of action to provide meaningful property tax relief. robbing peter to pay paul--State tax equalization board-needs some limits as to the maximum amount of monies that can be taken by property tax based on "value". ND has a need for proposition 13 --or something similar. The sooner the better!

It's a help of a system when the prosecuting Attorneys we hire to protect us are the ones who will prosecute us. The States Attorney's should be on our side if we can file a valid claim, but instead we have to pay for private Attorneys to try to protect our rights and homes.

With all the money the state has the first thing that should happen is property tax repeal!! That would be a fair return to all tax payers. But as far as the assessed value being to high, B.S. I will bet there isn't one farmer or home owner that will sell his or her property foe the assessed price!!!

Help its happening way out here in the country too. Because we have had decent crop prices for two years now they escalated land prices by double or more. When will there sticky fingers and pockets be full. The government is the only one profiting from all these increases. What the help happened to lowering property taxes and property tax relief? It's crazy and inhumane.

The property taxes on my house are way too low and I was hoping the city would raise them.
They did! Hallelujah!
I am so happy now!
And I have spoken with other home owners and they all agreed, they all thought that their taxes were way top low and all were just as happy as I was when their homes were assessed to a higher value and their property taxes were increased.
I've never seen such happiness!

Now when I ask this, it is probably not applicable to any republican you can find in this latter half of the century. Most conservatives post Regan are pretty much morons you hug tight to the bible or their economics degree and spout all sorts of nonsense. No I mean the real true conservatives of the olden days, not like Hoover old, but more of Eisenhower and Nixon (yeah Nixon wasn't all that bad comared to the guys we had after him). At heat, their policies aren't bad at all as far as I can tell, and to a degree are still applicable even today. I do not agree with what they say, but at least it doesn't sound like its coming out of a horses ass. I guess its because of the prevailing liberal ideology growing at the time and they actually wanted to look reasonable before it and everyone else.
PD has a wide basis of other liberals so I would like to get some other opinions.

ZF-6743: zf.sh - problems executing if its folder name has whitespaces
if the the PHP_DIR includes whitespaces the script fails to be executed.
The last line of zf.sh may cause this problem.
$PHP_BIN -d safe_mode=Off -f $PHP_DIR/zf.php -- $@
It seems to have bad influence on MacOS Edition of Zend Studio for Eclipse 7.0.0 Early Access when creating project.
As a work around one can double quote the $PHP_DIR/zf.php section in the file.
so this line should be altered to $PHP_BIN -d safe_mode=Off -f "$PHP_DIR/zf.php" -- $@
Thank you, Roy. ;-) Solved in SVN r16195
The problem still exists because $PHP_BIN should be quoted for spaces as well.

There's a funky piece of exercise equipment popping up at health clubs and sporting-goods stores. Shaped like a metal cannonball with a handle, the kettlebell, which has been used in Russia for hundreds of years, has recently become popular on the U.S. fitness scene—so popular, in fact, that kettlebells-only gyms have opened across the country.
This deceptively simple piece of equipment is used much differently from a dumbbell. When training, you hold the kettlebell in one or both hands and generally move it at the same time you move your body. These full-body exercises tap into more muscles than conventional weight lifting does, and your muscles have to work harder to keep you balanced. Plus, the dynamic movements raise your heart rate.
"The exercises combine cardiovascular activity with strength training, so you get two workouts in one," says Sarah Lurie, owner and founder of Iron Core Kettlebell Strength and Conditioning in San Diego. Another bonus? "You burn more calories than you would in a traditional strength workout," Lurie says.
Just how many calories can you burn in a kettlebell session? A small study by researchers at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota reported that people who did a 14- to 22-minute kettlebell workout expended as many calories as if they had run a 10- to 12-minute mile or exercised on a stair stepper. Another study compared the energy expenditure of a traditional circuit strength-training workout with that of a light kettlebell workout, each lasting 30 minutes; the kettlebell training burned about 60 percent more calories, says study author Michele Olson, PhD, an exercise scientist at Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama.
"If you keep the repetitions high, limit rest between exercises to one minute and do moves that involve momentum, the calorie burn will be similar to other high-intensity activities like running and spinning," Olson says. With that kind of regimen, a 140-pound woman will burn about 350 calories in a 40-minute workout.
Many kettlebell moves rely on squatlike motions, which are particularly good at stimulating the hip muscles and bones. "To protect hips from fractures later in life, you need to do exercises that build and maintain bone density," Olson says.
Your sense of balance, which tends to decline with age, can also be improved with this kind of training. Unlike a dumbbell, which is solid, a kettlebell has two parts of unequal weight: a light handle and a heavier ball. "Because of this, the kettlebell naturally swings like a pendulum. To keep your balance while handling this potentially unstable piece of equipment, you need to rely on your glutes, abs, back, shoulders and forearm muscles," Olson says.
You can pick up a kettlebell at a sporting-goods store or visit gofit.net, where a 7-pounder costs about $25. If you're new to strength training, start with a 7- or 10-pound bell; if you've already been working out regularly with weights, go for 15 pounds. That may sound heavy, but remember that when you do kettlebell training, your lower body propels many of the exercises, so you can use a bigger load than you normally might. Also, some of the moves can be more difficult to control if you're using a light weight.
The following DVDs are suitable for beginners and intermediate-level exercisers: Gin Miller's Calorie Burner Workout with Kettlebells, amazon.com; 10 Minute Solution: Kettlebell Ultimate Fat Burner, with Michele Olson, PhD, collagevideo.com; Kettlebells the Iron Core Way, with Sarah Lurie, budovideos.com.
Here are some pointers for efficient and safe kettlebell workouts:
Keep the bell close to your body Because you use momentum in many of the moves, there's a tendency to let the bell move away from your body. Holding it near you will help keep it from banging into your forearm in certain exercises.

ZF-9405: MimeType recognition broken in ZF 1.10.2
I'm getting the same problems as described in http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-8432
Is there something I can do to get you more information, it seems to be doing the same thing, although the code doesn't look wrong, it is finding a magic file database correctly, finfo just fails when it finds one.
It seems that some *nix distributions deliver a broken mime database.
The only way to get around this problem is to give a own database when non of the automatically found database and also the internal used database is broken.
The detection itself has changed with ZF-9278. But a broken database will still be a problem as finfo does not work without database.


text: Is it just me or are the repubicans blaming the Democrats for what they forced them to do? For example the Democrats wanted a nice socialized health care plan like the rest of the world. The republicans forced us to compromise and get a stupid ass hybrid health care plan that failed. And the Republicans are using it against the Democrats saying its there fault! WTF! And this isn't the only case too. Bailouts and tax cuts for wealthy both things the Republicans pushed for and are now blaming Democrats for. -_-

URBAN LUXURY… it's all about the dialogue
"In terms of the manufacturing process, it has been quite a challenge. We have combined the finest cashmere with leather to fulfill the highest standards of workmanship", says Karg. "And we achieved this by collaborating with the best and most experienced artisans."The result: leather and fur intersecting in harmony with cashmere to create a new urban Allude Silhouette.
In this collection Andrea has maintained her usual slim, figure-hugging silhouette, contrasting with a strong boyish look – sharp lines, crisp tailoring with masculine details. Cashmere, the material she is most passionate about, is weighted accordingly: from the finest knits of wafer to extremely opulent tailored multiple textures. A unique combination resulting in an ultra feminine hyper-cool look. Karg surprised her audience with four striking men styles.
The designer's colour palette is a response to the urban landscape - Petrol and Steel Blue paired with Dense Black.

This was a lovely apartment located in a very convenient place! Both my boyfriend and I have been and lived in Berlin before, and knew this was a very good location, right around the corner from the M4 tram, and a short walk from U/S-bahn stops. Gorgeous view from the top floor of the apartment, quiet location. The kitchen and bathroom was perfect for two people, although the outlets in the bathroom were not working. Ben was very easy to work with and contact. Picked up the keys from the spati downstairs, and had no problems accessing the apartment and checking out. I highly recommend this apartment for a couple.
We have felt very comfortable in the apartment:
- Great location
- Comfy bed
- Nice amenities
- The smooth running
Needs improvement:
- Faulty toilet flush
- Bedroom not darken
- Coffeemaker desirable
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in der Wohnung:
- super Lage
- Bett bequem
- schöne Ausstattung
- reibungsloser Ablauf
- defekte Klospülung
- Schlafzimmer nicht abzudunkeln
- Kaffeeautomat wünschenswert
It wae everything to our satisfaction. We would be the apartment at any time
take again. And it was all well organized.
We thank you and best regards to Berlin
Yours sincerely
Monika Strack and Rita Melzer
Es wae alles zu unserer zufriedenheit. Wir würden die Wohnung jederzeit
wieder nehmen. Und es war alles gut organisiert.
wir bedanken uns und viele grüße nach Berlin

Very nice apartment, with great lightening and furniture. Walking distance to Alexander Platz and easy to find. Easy to catch the train just outside the frontdoor. If you come by car, it's difficult to find parking spots. We had to park 2-3 km from the apartment in a parkinghouse.
Bright, friendly apartment "above the roofs" of Berlin with a view to "Alex"
Helle, freundliche Wohnung "über den Dächern" von Berlin mit Blick zum "Alex"
Great apartment - spacious, lots of sunlight through the many windows, great view on balconies, elevator to the 7th floor, wifi included.
The location is 10 minutes Walk from Alexanderplatz.
We spent 3 great days in Berlin. Key pick up worked perfectly. We were even earlier in the Wohung. We absolutely loved it. Cute decorated and very bright and clean. For our Berlin trip BEST STARTING POINT. Alexanderplatz 10 minutes. on foot. We were very pleased. I would book this apartment again at any time and have already recommended to others.
Wir verbrachten 3 tolle Tage in Berlin. Schlüsselübergabe hat problemlos funktioniert. Wir durften sogar schon früher in die Wohung. Wir waren total begeistert. Schnuckelig eingerichtet und sehr hell und sauber. Für unseren Berlin Trip BESTER AUSGANGSPUNKT. Alexanderplatz ca. 10 min. zu Fuss. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Ich würde diese Wohnung jederzeit wieder buchen und habe sie bereits weiter empfohlen.
We had a very nice stay in Berlin. We could pick up the keys at a lokal shop as we arranged.
The appartment was clean and pleasant. There were fresh towels.
The appartment was on the top floor, so during the summer it can be hot. The view was beautifull.
Accross the appartment there was a very nice parc! Perfect for a walk, or just sit and relax.
Beneath there was a pizzeria and a shop where you could buy bread and so.
The contact with the host was only through email, but that did not boughter me.
I recommend this appartment.
We really enjoyed our stay in this appartment. It is bright, clean, nice and cosy. All of us slept very well, two of us in the bedroom and three in the livingroom. It is situated closely near one of the largest parks of Berlin. It is also very close to various options of public transport (bus 200 and tram M4), which have a direct link to the centre of Berlin, Museum Insel etc.
Apartment complies with photographs, well arranged with bus and tram nearby. For any home against the owner since we took the keys in a shop next to the building. One key for 3 people and not the name of Ben on the front door in order to ring. Regarding the household where 20 € are necessarily included in the management, there are efforts to: Found a dirty plate in the Microwave with dirty tray also sheep in the chest in the living room, packet of tissues, plastic bag, water bottle found in the couch. Sl elevator very dirty all week. Width sheets not suitable for bed room, there would be little things again so that this apartment is perfect.
Appartement conforme aux photographies, bien agencé avec bus et tram à proximité. Par contre aucun accueil par le propriétaire puisque nous avons pris les clefs dans un magasin à côté de l'immeuble. Une seule clef pour 3 personnes et pas le nom de Ben sur la porte d'entrée pour pouvoir sonner.
En ce qui concerne le ménage où 20 € sont obligatoirement prévus dans la prise en charge, il y a des efforts à faire : Retrouvé une assiette sale dans le Micro ondes avec plateau sale également, moutons sous le coffre dans le salon, paquet de mouchoirs, sac en plastique, bouteille d'eau retrouvés dans le canapé. Sl de l'ascenseur très sale toute la semaine.
Largeur des draps non adapté au lit de la chambre;
Il y aurait peu de choses à revoir afin que cet appartement soit parfait.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 39 40
I was given this recipe by a friend many years ago, and these cookies are as delicious as Mom used to make. The secret to this recipe is to measure exactly (no guessing on the amounts) and to not overbake. —Wendy Coalwell, Abbeville, Georgia
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, optional
- In a large bowl, cream the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture, just until combined. Stir in the oats, raisins and pecans if desired.
- Shape into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a greased glass bottom.
- Bake at 350° for 10-11 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overbake. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.

|Vandal soccer picked second
DENVER – The Idaho women's soccer team was picked to finish second in the Western Athletic Conference in 2013 and three Vandal players; Katie Baran, Nitalia Zuniga and Chelsie Breen; were selected to the preseason all-WAC team, the league announced Monday.
Earning 23 points in the preseason poll, Idaho tied for second with Utah Valley, behind overwhelming favorite Seattle U with 36 points. Idaho went 6-14-1 last season and 3-4-1 in the WAC, reaching the WAC tournament for the third consecutive season. The Vandals return 11 letter-winners and 13 players overall from last season, while bringing in 13 newcomers for 2013.
Baran, a junior midfielder from Nine Mile Falls, Wash., played in all 21 games for Idaho in 2012 and is Idaho's leading returning goal-scorer, netting four goals to go along with eight assists last season.
Zuniga, a senior from Ventura, Calif., returns to the back line for Idaho after playing in 19 games in 2012. She scored one goal on eight shots and was a WAC all-academic selection.
Breen, also a senior defender, scored one goal and five shots in 2012. The Cheney, Wash., native started all 20 games she played last season and has started 60 games in her first three years at Idaho.
Seattle's Stephanie Verdoia earned the league's preseason Offensive Player of the Year honor, while her teammate Julia Besagno was selected as the preseason Defensive Player of the year.
WAC-newcomer Bakersfield was picked to finish fourth in the poll, just one point behind the Vandals and Wolverines with 22 points. New Mexico State followed in fifth with 21 points, and Kansas City, with 13 points, and Grand Canyon, with nine, rounded out the poll.
Idaho will see its first action of the 2013 season on Aug. 16 when it hosts Oklahoma in an exhibition at Guy Wicks field. The Vandals open the regular season with five straight road matches beginning Aug. 23 at Weber State. Idaho's first regular season home match is Sept. 13 against Eastern Washington.

H. pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium found in the stomach, which (along with acid secretion) damages stomach and duodenal tissue, causing inflammation and peptic ulcers.
It is believed that H. pylori's shape and characteristics cause the damage that leads to ulcers.
Because of their shape and the way they move, the bacteria can penetrate the stomach's protective mucous lining where they produce the enzyme urease, which generates substances that neutralize the stomach's acids. This weakens the stomach's protective mucus, makes the stomach cells more susceptible to the damaging effects of acid and pepsin, and leads to sores or ulcers in the stomach or duodenum (first part of the small intestine).
The bacteria can also attach to stomach cells, further weakening the stomach's defensive mechanisms and producing local inflammation. For reasons not completely understood, H. pylori can also stimulate the stomach to produce more acid.
The following are the most common symptoms of ulcers. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Soon after being infected with H. pylori, most people develop gastritis - an inflammation of the stomach lining. However, most people will never have symptoms or problems related to the infection. When symptoms are present, they may include:
The symptoms of ulcers may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Researchers do not yet know what causes certain people to develop H. pylori-related symptoms or ulcers.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for H. pylori may include the following:

Cooking 101 - The Eat to Live Way
With many now participating in the Six Week Holiday Challenge, it's the perfect time to learn helpful and healthful cooking skills that are crucial to supporting the nutritarian eating style. Linda Popescu, M.S., R.D. is Dr. Fuhrman's Research Assistant; along with being the "Vitamin Advisor" for DrFuhrman.com and faculty member of the Nutritional Education Institute. Welcome to Disease Proof, Linda.
There are a few essential cooking techniques that need to be mastered when you commit to a nutrient dense diet style. While these may be old news for our seasoned Eat to Live veterans, it might be helpful to review them for those who are new to this way of eating.
The Six Week Holiday Challenge is a great opportunity to develop and practice new cooking skills. Nutritarian cooking can be simple or gourmet. You don't have to be a chef and have unlimited time to cook wonderful meals. On the other hand, if you do enjoy spending time in the kitchen you don't need to stifle your culinary creativity.
Soups, Salads and Smoothies are the backbone of the nutritarian diet. Soups/Stews play a big role because when vegetables are simmered in soup, all the nutrients are retained in the liquid. It is easy to incorporate a variety of green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, onions, beans and other healthy ingredients all in one pot. A big advantage to making soups and stews is that they make great leftovers. Make a pot of soup for dinner and you will also have lunch taken care of for several days.
Many of Dr. Fuhrman's soup recipes use fresh vegetable juices such as carrot juice for the base. Use freshly juiced carrot juice for maximum flavor or if you are short on time, refrigerated bottled carrot juice can be purchased. No- salt-added or low sodium vegetable broth is also used in some soup recipes. As a general guideline, do not use a vegetable broth that has more than 200 mg of sodium per one cup serving. To make a "cream" soup, blend raw cashews or cashew butter into the soup to provide a creamy texture and rich flavor. Simply remove a portion of the cooked soup (2-3 cups) and blend with raw cashews (usually around ½ cup) then return the blended soup/cashew mixture to the soup pot.
When it comes to salads, think big. We are not talking about a saucer full of iceberg lettuce. Get a big salad bowl and eat the whole thing. Experiment with a variety of salad greens: romaine, baby greens, spinach, mache, watercress, arugula, Boston lettuce or shredded cabbage. Add other interesting colorful veggies as well as a variety of beans. This eating style features creamy dressings and dips created with nuts, seeds and avocados. These whole foods supply healthy fats that complement the vegetables. Use a food processor or high powered blender when making nut/seed based dressings and dips. Gourmet fruit flavored or balsamic vinegars are also used in many recipes to add unique and delicious flavors.
Smoothies blend raw vegetables with fruit to efficiently increase your nutrient absorption. When we chew we don't do an efficient job of releasing all the nutrients hidden within the plant cell walls. When making smoothies and blended salads, the blender does the job for you. A powerful blender such as a Vita-Mix is a good investment that will last a lifetime. It can blend nuts, seeds, frozen fruit and vegetables into creamy delicious drinks. Smoothies are great for breakfast. They are portable and require minimal time and effort.
Another basic technique to learn is water sautéing (also called sweating or steam frying) which is used instead of cooking with oil. It is used for stir frys, sauces, and many other vegetable dishes. To water sauté, heat a skillet, wok or pan over high heat until water sputters when dropped on it. Add a small amount of water (2-3 tablespoons) and the items to be cooked such as onions, garlic, peppers or other vegetables. Add more water as necessary and cover occasionally until the vegetables are tender. Do not add too much water or the food will be boiled not sautéed. To develop flavor, let the pan dry enough for the food to lightly brown before you add more water.
During the Six Week Challenge, use the DrFuhrman.com Member Center Recipe Guide to locate new recipes that work for you. It currently contains over 800 recipes with more being added every day. You can search for recipes by category, name or ingredient. Members can rate recipes on a scale of one to five stars and add comments. You can even sort recipes by rating so you can quickly see the recipes that are the most popular. Try the recipes, rate them yourself and share your own favorite Dr. Fuhrman-friendly creations with us.
Bon Appétit!

Is the electronic book approaching the tipping point?
Kevin P. Casey for The New York Times
The Kindle can download books.
That topic both energized and unnerved people attending BookExpo America, the publishing and bookselling industrys annual trade show, which ended at the convention center here on Sunday.
Much of the talk was focused on the Kindle, Amazons electronic reader, which has gained widespread acclaim for its ease of use. Jeffrey P. Bezos, the founder and chief executive of Amazon, spent much of a packed session on Friday evangelizing about the Kindle, which he said already accounts for 6 percent of his companys unit sales of books that are available in both paper and electronic formats.
But excitement about the Kindle, which was introduced in November, also worries some publishing executives, who fear Amazons still-growing power as a bookseller. Those executives note that Amazon currently sells most of its Kindle books to customers for a price well below what it pays publishers, and they anticipate that it will not be long before Amazon begins using the Kindles popularity as a lever to demand that publishers cut prices.
I'd wondered about this. Prior to the Kindle, a hardcover book that cost $25 in print format was not all that much cheaper in e-book format. Why, I wondered, when there was no cost of production, no material used - no paper, no ink - and no cost of distribution.
I'd simply assumed that print publishers reacted as record companies did when digitalized music came into being. That they panicked and sought the loss of control of product with high pricing. Eventually, though, with iTunes and the like, that's beginning to change.
I just got my Kindle over the weekend for my birthday, btw, and
I love it
. I immediately downloaded a hardcover non-fiction book by political writer Matt Taibii, and three romances, one of which I'm reading for review right now. The hardcover sells for $24.95, I think, and I paid $9.99. Is that truly a loss leader for Amazon? It's hard to imagine, then, how they also make money given their free shipping on orders of more than $25, particularly as the profit margin on many of the items they sell has to be pretty small. Paperbacks are pretty cheap to begin with, comparatively speaking, and I think bookstores make it up in hardcover sales. IIRC, profits at bookstores in terms of books themselves come from hardcovers, not paperbacks, because the margin is something like 40%.
If a bookstore makes a 40% profit on an $8.00 item, the cost of a paperback, they earn a little more than $3.00. That same 40% on a $25 hardcover is $10.00. I NEVER order from Amazon unless my list has grown enough so that I hit the $25 dollar mark (in order to take advantage of the free shipping), and I imagine most of you do likewise.
Obviously they deal in volume, so it all adds up, but I think their innovations - the free shipping, the Kindle - are a readers' best friend. And I don't foresee Amazon asserting the type of pressure on publishers as, say, WalMart is known to do, in terms of actual book CONTENT.
I go back to my original theory: That Amazon will force book publishers into the 21st century, as iTunes has done with record companies. The rules are different with content now, and 20th century business models don't apply in some industries. I hope the reader benefits in the long run.
Of the five books I wanted to buy on Kindle, four were available; Fareed Zakaria's newest, alas, was not.

Laurie - I have been anxious to hear how you like your Kindle since you mentioned in an earlier post that you were getting one for your birthday.
I have had mine for almost a month and
I absolutely LOVE it.
I have found, too, that most of the books I have wanted to buy have been available in a Kindle Edition. It would be wonderful if every title were available in that format. I am not sure exactly why some books are available and others are not. From what I understand, it is the publisher that decides whether or not to make the book available in an electronic format, but I don't know if that is truly the case.
I agree that things are changing very quickly in the world of technology and do see some parallels between the music download industry and the ebook. Change is difficult. I cannot see Amazon trying to control what gets published, but I do think that they can have some impact on price as more people get into electronic books. I definitely believe that publishers and authors deserve a fair price for their product, but I do feel that an electronic version should be priced lower than a print version. As you said, there are no printing costs, no paper cost, no production costs, no transportation costs, no storage/warehousing costs, etc.
All I know is that I love reading on my Kindle and hope that eventually all books will be available in that format at a reasonable price.
So many books; so little time!

Not down here, Laurie. Books in Australia are fairly expensive. It is nearly always cheaper for me to order from Amazon AND pay the shipping than to buy here. I bought a couple of Nora Roberts here recently and they were 19.99 each. A while back I b*tched here at AAR about a Jo Beverley costing me nearly 20.00. Even before the AU$ rose against the US$ it was a touch cheaper for me to buy at Amazon and pay shipping. Now with the exchange rate nearly dollar for dollar it's even better.
I do still buy books here because I love bookshops and love leaving with a great big pile of goodies. But if I can't find what I want, or I haven't got time to do a 70k round trip into town, it's off to Amazon I go.
I had to laugh at Nora Roberts recently - in her Key trilogy, one of the men, Jordan, says to his beloved when he sees the books all over her apartment - "Jeez, Dana - you need treatment!" Boy could I relate to that! Suspect my DH and Jordan would have quite a conversation. :oops:
How big is the Kindle, Laurie? So far I haven't been interested in ebooks, but my mind is open. It's just that I love books. Physically as well as what's in them.

I'm with more or less with E. Rolls on the matter of e-books. If it doesn't have cover with turnable pages, it's just not a book, in my thinking. Besides, print on a screen really bothers my eyes. When e-publishing first began, I bought a download. I managed to read about 20 pages before my eyes said, "No more, please." I'd rather pay the higher price for the book in standard print.

How big is the Kindle, Laurie? So far I haven't been interested in ebooks, but my mind is open. It's just that I love books. Physically as well as what's in them.
I'm not Laurie but I can answer your question.
The Kindle measures approx. 5.5" x 7.5" and is about .5" thick. It is very lightweight - less than a pound. Very comfortable to hold and so easy to read. I love it!
Unfortunately, the instant download to the Kindle currently does not work outside the US because it uses a cell phone network found only in the US.
I'm not sure if you can download to a computer and then transfer. Amazon has a lot of information about the Kindle on their website.
So many books; so little time!

I'm with Dick on this. I use a computer all day at work and a laptop when travelling on business. Frankly my eyes just don't want to look at another computer at night or in bed when I do my comfort reading. I am not sure that "Eyes Over 40" will love Kindle. I, too, tried ebooks about 5-6 years ago and, in the end printed them off on paper to read them because looking at the screen was just too uncomfortable, literally and, perhaps, mentally. I am lucky to have a room in my house exclusively for my books. I suppose if storage were a problem (or I was at university and needed lots of books), then this might be the answer but I am happy enough with paper right now.

Post subject: Kindle vs. Paperbacks
Over the years, I've watched many times as paper printed books [either paperback or hardback] have been declared either dying out or dead. They're still here -- a lot of them, and there are good reasons for them to continue to be printed.
How much does a Kindle weigh, for instance? Or how much does any other brand of electronic book weigh? If this seems irrelevant to you, then you must still be young enough not to have weak, arthritic hands. There are a lot of people out here in literary-land who, like me, have weak, arthritic hands which find difficulty, and some pain, in holding heavy books --hands that pain us a little bit even when at rest, and even when holding nothing at all. At this point, in my 80th year, even my beloved hardbacks are uncomfortable to hold after an hour or so. And hardbacks, I imagine, don't weigh as much as Kindles. Paperbacks are the most comfortable books to hold and I hope and pray that they are still being printed for the rest of my life.
That question aside, how about ease of back-paging with an electronic book. When I read, I like to turn back the pages to refer to previous scenes. With print books, that's easily done. It's more difficult with electronic books, I suspect.
Lastly, paperbacks are easy to carry in my purse, which already weighs too much as it is. I understand that Amazon is reducing the price of Kindles because they aren't exactly selling like hotcakes, are they?
I'm glad that you younger folks are enjoying your Kindles, and that they seem to answer your needs, but there is another side to the story. The over 60 population in this country is growing, and we're going to be harder to convince.

Post subject: Re: Kindle vs. Paperbacks
I'll address a number of the concerns, although being called "young folk" when I'm in my 40s is kind of funny. The Kindle weighs a lot less than my E-Bookwise, which I've loved to death. It comes in its own little case, which fits quite nicely in my purse, and a tremendous benefit of it for people who need large print is that it comes with six font sizes. My E-bookwise does the same, btw. My husband, who wore his first pair of glasses at nine months, suffers tremendously when reading. I showed him the large font, and now he's thinking of buying the Kindle.
I have always loved the printed book, but there comes a point when space becomes a factor. The wireless download ability is amazing, BUT I realized right after that, that unless a Kindle edition is ordered via the computer - as Elizabeth Rolls might do if she bought one - associates like AAR don't get a commission. Since I don't get a commission on the books I buy for myself, that's not a problem, but I can see at some point in the future that might impact sites like AAR that depend heavily on commissions from Amazon.
Both the E-bookwise and the Kindle offer bookmarking ability, and for somebody like me who is constantly shoving little pieces of paper into books to go back to pages or scenes, this is great. Right now, as a matter of fact, I'm reading an Elizabeth Rolls book from last year. Somehow I'd missed its initial release (even though its the sequel to a book by her that I'd really liked), and by the time I ordered it, it had to be special ordered, and then Amazon canceled it. But on Kindle it was there at a finger snap. Not so, though, with one of Jessica Bird's series titles that I'd been looking for. And none of the older Garwoods are available either. My guess is that publishers are going FORWARD but not BACKWARD yet in terms of publishing on Kindle.

I'm with more or less with E. Rolls on the matter of e-books. If it doesn't have cover with turnable pages, it's just not a book, in my thinking. Besides, print on a screen really bothers my eyes. When e-publishing first began, I bought a download. I managed to read about 20 pages before my eyes said, "No more, please." I'd rather pay the higher price for the book in standard print.
I've tried e-books on the computer and on a reader and I'm among those who just don't like them. Do they offer a left and right page format? I like pages too, the print is easier to read and start up cost is nil. Plus like i-pods, lap-tops, computers, dvd's, cell phones etc. e-book readers will always have a 'newer model with bonus features' being offered. There is already enough tech junk out there. I think my daughter has every version of Nintendo Gameboy--I think about 6---and some of them don't even play all formats of Nintendo games. I see the same thing for ebook readers.
I think the cost per book on an ebook reader is great, and for international customers who have to pay a lot $$$$ for each book + shipping. And no wait for release dates.

Both the E-Bookwise and Kindle can be used ambidextrously, if that's what you mean, although since you use a stylus w/the former, it's a little easier if you want to bookmark or something. But if it's simply reading, you can page ahead on either side of the screen, and on one side you can also page back.

I'll weigh in on a couple of issues here. I am a proud owner of a Kindle for 1 month now, and I love it. It was a 60th birthday present to myself and I know I will get my money's worth out of it.
- For those of you wondering about the weight, it is very lightweight and weighs less than a paperback, about 10 ounces.
- Reading on the Kindle is very comfortable and easy. It is much less awkward than holding a paperback, IMHO. I have arthritis in my wrists, too, and find that holding a Kindle vs. a paperback is much easier on my wrists.
- As for ease on the eyes, the Kindle is NOT the same as reading on a computer. It does NOT use backlit technology like a computer but uses electronic ink so it looks and reads like a printed page. No eye-strain like you get on a computer.
- 6 Font sizes makes this a great device for those with poorer eyesight. My just 60 year-old eyes sometimes have a problem with small print in books/magazines. The ability to increase the font size is a great feature.
- the cost of the books is less than a paperback or new hardcover, even with discounts at places like B & N. I have found that most of the books I have wanted to purchase are available in Kindle editions and I expect this will continue to improve.
And Laurie, I am really sensitive to the commission that AAR gets from the sale of books on its website link. I thank you for putting the Kindle link on the site. I try to make all of my purchases from my computer so AAR benefits from the sale. I actually prefer shopping on Amazon via computer anyway. I so appreciate all you do to keep this site up and running. I'd be lost without it.
I am so thrilled to have made the leap to the electronic book community. I love books, too, and wasn't sure how I would like holding a device rather than a book. Because it is so comfortable to use, I don't miss the paper at all.
So many books; so little time!

I am absolutely delighted that you are having so much fun with your Kindle, Laurie.
I've been thinking about ebooks recently for the same sort of reason; trying to get books I missed. And of course, space. Even I am eventually going come to the point where there is nowhere to put even one more book. And I can see that there's a serious convenience factor when travelling.
But I'm not fond of reading on any sort of screen. I spend a large proportion of each day staring at words on a screen and it isn't how I want to relax. It's hard on the eyes too.

As you might imagine, Elizabeth, I spend a lot of time looking at either my desktop or laptop computer, so I know about dry eye and eye strain. A bigger problem for me considering the issues I have with my hands and wrists as a result of all that time on a computer is discomfort in my wrists from holding even a paperback at times. The Kindle is lighter, and doesn't hurt my hands.

Post subject: Kindle
I want one a Kindle. They sound great. I probably won't get one until Christmas but they sound like the next great thing. Thanks for mentioning this. So now I have thought of a bunch of questions regarding the future of e-books.
Is anyone able to download books from their libraries yet?
Do you think books will not become out of print anymore?
Do you think readers will buy fewer books used as more e-books become available? If so, does that mean authors will earn more in book sales?
If I can eventually download books from my library instantly, why would I need to buy any?

The Kindle, like the Sony Reader, uses e-ink technology that reflects outside light like a book (or more like a glossy magazine since there is glare at the wrong angle), not a glowing screen like most computers. I find my Reader very easy to read for hours, though the background is more grey than white.
When the Reader first came out there weren't a lot of titles available, but that has steadily improved. Also, I see a lot of backlist titles being added on a regular basis, so I suspect the same will happen with the Kindle.

Eating to Live on the Outside: Herbivore
Inspired by Chicago's vegetarian health initiative, this week Eating to Live on the Outside digitally visits Herbivore vegan restaurant in California. And I got to say, I really like it!
Okay, I just finished scouring Herbivore's online menu. Here's a list of food I might order. And you'll see that the salads are fantastic! Take a look:
Scrambled Tofu
- Tofu, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes and toast with fruit spread; sounds good, but I'd pass on the toast.
Basil Pesto Scrambled Tofu
- Tofu, potatoes, basil pesto and toast with fruit spread; same deal here.
Southwestern Scrambled Tofu
- Tofu, salsa, potatoes, black beans, guacamole, vegan sour cream and corn bread; I'd nix the faux-sour cream and corn bread.
- Oatmeal with grilled bananas, maple syrup and cinnamon; the syrup is a little iffy, but I can deal with it.
Roasted Almonds
- Almonds with lemon-cayenne seasoning; seems good to me.
Vegetable Sampler
- Char-broiled vegetables, pesto, tahini, lemon-garlic sauce and baguette; the veggies being charred stinks, but it might work, and no bread for me.
Sweet & Sour Noodle Soup
- Rice noodles, tofu, spinach, carrots, broccoli, oyster mushrooms, tomatoes, pineapple, bean sprouts, green onions and cilantro; okay, soup is always dicey, because you never know just how salty it is, so ask the wait staff first. Now, the rice noodles aren't great, but the rest of the stuff is awesome!
Coconut Noodle Soup
- Rice noodles, tofu, spinach, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, bean sprouts, oyster mushrooms, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro and coconut; same thing with this.
Green Salad
- Mixed greens, cucumbers, carrots, avocado, red cabbage, onions, bean sprouts, tomatoes, red beets, mint and dressing; very cool, but dressing on the side.
Spinach Salad
- Spinach, mushrooms, red onions, toasted walnuts, roasted red peppers and hemp dressing; I dig it!
Green Papaya Salad
- Green papaya, tomatoes, green beans, red cabbage, carrots, onions, peanuts, mint, lettuce and tamarind dressing; papaya salad is one of my favorite things to order.
Indonesian Noodle Salad
- Rice noodle, greens, tofu, cucumbers, pineapple, orange, sprouts, mint, cilantro, red cabbage, onions, sautéed oyster mushrooms, ginger and peanut or tamarind dressing; I'd skip the noodles and stick the dressing on the side.
- Lime marinated oyster mushrooms, tofu, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, jalapeño peppers and crostini bread; I'll pass on bread.
Quinoa Salad
- Quinoa, spinach, kidney beans, red onions, celery and lemon shallot dressing; same thing with the dressing.
Roasted Red Beet Salad
- Red beets, greens and balsamic dressing; I like it.
Raw Kale Salad
- Kale and lemon olive marinade; its hard to beat kale!
Raw Red Beet & Spinach Salad
- Red beets, spinach and lemon shallot dressing; same thing with the dressing.
Kung Pao
- Char-broiled vegetables, peanuts, cilantro, brown rice or basmati rice and a green salad with Dijon mustard dressing; I'd go with brown rice and get the dressing on the side.
Red Curry
- Char-broiled vegetables, red curry, potatoes, cilantro, brown or basmati rice and tofu; brown rice again.
Lentil Loaf
- Lentil loaf, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, seasonal greens, red beet sauce and crostini bread; passing on the bread.
- Eggplant, potatoes, soy protein, tofu ricotta, mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, spinach, marinara sauce and crostini bread; same deal with the bread.
Herbivore is loaded with awesome food! Especially the salads, they're probably your best bet. If I had to chose, I'd either order the Green Papaya Salad or the Indonesian Noodle Salad. They both rock!
You might try Herbivore's juices and smoothies too. They're made with cool stuff, like beets, spinach and pomegranate. So, check out Herbivore's menu and let me what you'd order! Eat wisely. Peace.
