Understanding Your Type of Colorectal Cancer
A kind of cancer called adenocarcinoma accounts for more than 95% of colorectal cancers. There are other rare types of cancer that can be found in the colon and rectum:
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Adenocarcinomas are tumors that start in cells with glandular properties, or cells that secrete. Adeno means gland. They can form in a lot of different organs, such as the colon, rectum, lung, or breast. In colorectal adenocarcinoma, early tumors start as small adenomatous polyps that continue to grow and then turn into malignant tumors.
Rare types of colorectal cancer
There are other types of tumors that can develop in your colon and rectum. They are described only briefly here because they are rare forms of colorectal cancer.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors. These are tumors that start in specialized cells in the wall of the colon called the interstitial cells of Cajal. They can be benign at first. Many, though, turn into cancer. When they do, they are called sarcomas. Surgery is the usual treatment for tumors that haven't spread.
Lymphomas. A lymphoma is a cancer that typically starts in a lymph node, which is part of your immune system. However, it can start in your colon, rectum, or other organs. There are different kinds of lymphomas.
Carcinoids. These tumors start in special hormone producing cells in your intestine. Often they cause no symptoms at first. Surgery is the normal treatment for most tumors.

I know I am fat
but soon I'll be thin!
Just look at me diet
and go from loser to win!
With many, many apologies to Dr. Seuss, that's the message some say an upcoming book for kids, Maggie Goes on a Diet, by Paul M. Kramer, will be sending.
ABC News reports that the book, set for release in October, tracks Maggie, 14, who diets her way to a starring role on her school's soccer team. Targeted readers? Kids ages 6 to 12, or as young as 4 to 8, depending which book seller website you go to, according to the network.
Kramer, who also wrote Bullies Beware, Do Not Dread Wetting the Bed and Divorce Stinks!, couldn't be reached by ABC for comment, but nutrition and body image experts are already dissing the book, before even seeing it.
A role model like Maggie sends the message that "if you don't look like Cinderella, you're a failure," Joanne Ikeda, a University of California-Berkeley nutritionist emeritus, tells the network. "I wouldn't want a child to read this ... because they might, in fact, try to do this and fail. What is that going to do to their self-esteem?"
What do you think? Is the book a weapon needed to fight the childhood obesity battle? Or is this just one big, fat mistake? Leave a comment below!

Boil-water advisory issued for parts of Randall Parkway
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 9:51 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 9:51 a.m.
Wilmington | A precautionary boil water advisory will begin Saturday morning for Cape Fear Public Utility Authority customers on portions of Randall Parkway near South College Road.
City crews will be conducting work to re-route water service for Pinewood Apartments and install a storm drain, according to a CFPUA news release. The project will impact water service to this area, including the entire Pinewood Apartment complex, resulting in periods of low or no water pressure.
The advisory is for 4852 Randall Parkway; the 4900 and 5000 blocks of Randall Parkway, including all of the Pinewood Apartment complex accessed by Dove, Drake, Grouse, Pheasant and Thrasher Courts; and 502 S. College Road.
The advisory will be in effect until water quality testing has occurred and service is back to normal.
The authority anticipates that the advisory will be lifted within 24 hours.

6. Go for gleaming locks
Megashiny strands (think Salma Hayek) have always been in style. They make a simple cut seem more chic, show off your color to best effect and boost your confidence (imagine a good hair day every day). Maintenance cost: If you're battling extreme dullness—or fuzz—consider Redken's new-to-salons Shape Control System, a formaldehyde-free treatment that flattens frizz and bumpsup shine (prices start at $150 for your whole head; the cost is less if you're doing just the bangs, top layers, etc.). Whatever your natural texture—curly or straight—you'll walk out of the salon glossy. Results last up to four months; go to redken.com for more information.
7. Choose a complex scent
When it comes to a fragrance that endures, the more complicated the "recipe," the longer the shelf life, say experts. So while simpler scents are trendy—right now think vanilla-cupcake, citrus and clean, "shower-y" scents, says Laura Slatkin, founder and CEO of Nest Fragrances—they're not a smart investment. Maintenance cost: A fragrance you can wear todayand five years down the road should be as multilayered and complicated as you are, says Slatkin. One of her fa-vorites: Shalimar by Guerlain ($73 and up; nordstrom.com), which combines opulent florals with Oriental-vanilla notes. Other complex scents to try: Versace Yellow Diamond ($67 and up; macys.com); L'Eau de Chloé ($65 and up; bloomingdales.com); Givenchy Dahlia Noir ($67 andup; bloomingdales.com).

Last week, a group of about 12 or 13 cultural festival organizers from the Republic of Georgia came to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. They wanted to get a better sense of what we do to tell our story, to learn more about our organization and, in general, to exchange ideas.
The conversation that ensued made for a memorable meeting – one that reminds all of us about the power of rock and roll.
To start, we provided an overview of the Museum, the Inductions, and our mission to collect, preserve and interpret the cultural relevance of rock and roll. We spoke of our exhibit on rock and roll and free speech, Don't Knock the Rock. We also talked about our education programs, which include classes on music as a tool for social change, referencing the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, Woodstock and myriad other moments when rock and roll connected people and served as a catalyst for new ideas.
The "new ideas" notion took root with this audience. Several people began to talk about going to great lengths to listen to rock and roll music. Our friends told us stories of their fathers ...

ZF-7298: Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module doesn't have Translate abilities
You can't translate default Route (Route_Module), because it doesn't have abilities to do it. Additionaly, you can't use other route as default , which can translate, because only Route_Module handle right requests (as /[module/][controller/][action/], where everything is optional, module too).
Default, my patch doesn't change anything. If you change default route to something like:
'default' => array(
'type' => 'Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module',
'dispatcher' => null,
'request' => null,
'translatable' => true
you get abilities to translate default route. I think there should be also static method changing this ability (ie. Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module::setTranslate(bool); )
Deleting Zend_Translate as effected component because this is no Zend_Translate issue.
The provided patch does not work correctly when matching translated modules. I adapted it so that it also correctly handles translated module names and attached a new patch.
This patch replaces the previous one, which did not match translated module names.
hi, do we know in which release the patch will be included? Is the patch safe for production environment? thx - benoit
Hi I'm using the patch in production, so far so good. I had to make a little change in the code although. Instead of defaulting _translatable to false in the __contruct method, I've set it to true and now everything works fine. I don't quite undestancd what _translatable is for...
As in Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module patch, this is set to false in the constructor and never again manipulated afterwards... On the contrary in Zend_Controller_Router_Route, the similar variable _translatable is initialized in the contructor, looking for segments to translate in the url (looking for "@" sign...).
Hope this helps.
this issue exists nearly a year, an nobody seems really to care.
i don't get it, actually this is a basic functionality and should be handled on major priority.
I also posted a, from my perspective, major issue affecting the basic JSON serialization. (http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-9416) This was fixed after nearly 3 month. This is a completely unacceptable timeframe for every kind of project.
I don't know if you guys are payed by zend or if you doing it for fun in your freetime, but by next project will not base on the ZF.
br robert
When is this going to be fixed? It does not only affect version 1.8.4, but all version up to and including 1.11.3.

This unforgettable book is the first-person account of a miracleindeed, a series of miracles. One of the uprooted youngsters known as the Lost Boys of Sudan, John Bul Dau was 12 years old when civil war ravaged his village and shattered its age-old society, a life of herding and agriculture marked by the virtues of Dinka tribal tradition. As tracer bullets split the night and mortar shells exploded around him, John fled into the darknessthe first terrified moments of a journey that would lead him thousands of miles into an exile that was to last many years.
John's memoir of his childhood shows African life and values at their best, while his searing account of hardship, famine, and war is a testament to human resilience and kindness. It's also the eloquently plain-spoken self-portrait of a young man who has looked death in the face many times and come away with an inner strength as impressive as it is modest and a wisdom as inspiring as it is matter of fact.
In an era of cultural clashes, John Bul Dau's often humorous stories of adapting to life in the United States offer proof that we can bridge our differences peacefully.

For the past four years I've been invited to judge Nicholas & Co's Ultimate Chef Competition - an Iron Chef-style cooking contest held at Nicholas annual food show. Big Budah is the host, and chats up the competing chefs who cook in their own kitchen setups in the middle of South Towne Expo Center. Yesterday was the 2011 competition. Co-judges Ted Scheffler of City Weekly and Joe Lambert from Squatters screwed our tastebuds to the sticking point and bravely faced 16 different pork dishes.
Every year, the food at this contest has gotten better and better, and yesterday's cooking was amazing. For one thing, the roster of competitors was pure Utah: Jodie Rogers from Deer Valley, Utah's ski resort acclaimed for its fine food—with, of course, the whole tight-knit DV team to cheer her on.
Phillip Yates and his team from Grand America, the heavyweight of SLC downtown hotels, and, up against these behemoths, Elio Scanu, chef-owner of independently owned Zucca Trattoria in South Ogden and Adrian Alvarado from Caffe Niche, a tiny neighborhood restaurant that has been making big waves.
Here are some of the highlights:
First, the secret ingredient was half a Ballard Farms pig, so the chefs really had to call on their mad knife skills and knowledge of porcine anatomy to break down the animal into usable parts, including removing the thick pork rind. They don't call footballs "pigskins†for nothing. The chefs are allowed to bring in equipment, and the Grand America team had brought in a bandsaw. Came in handy for sawing those bones.
The Grand America team came up with a theme for their menu = "global street food." They served first, and started with pork kofta, a take on the Middle Eastern snack. Ground pork and spices grilled and served with tzatziki, onions and tomatoes and pita, presented on a skewer rack. Fantastic.
Next came a pork tostado and to go with, a showstopping margarita served in a carved ice goblet. (That's it, above.) Korean ribs with a kimchee springroll came next, and finally, the most amazing corndog I've ever tasted, made with ground pork sausage instead of a weiner. Yes, Chef had brought the grinder attachment for his Kitchenaid.
Obviously, these were contenders.
Elio Scanu's food relied more on nuanced layered flavors - his pork filled Venezuelan tamalito was made with masa and pork broth garnished with cilantro microgreens and avodcado. His peak was a seemingly simple plate of polenta and mascarpone with a pork ragout - a breathtaking dish that had all the culinary wisdom of the ages in each amazing bite.
Standouts from Caffe Niche were the little skewers of grilled pork tenderloin and grapes and a gorgeous cinnamon-scented dried fig and cranberry-stuffed pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon andserved with quinoa and calabacitas.
Deer Valley took an elegant approach - a surf 'n' turf plate with pork tenderloin and shrimp in a citrus buerre blanc with beets and a garnish of amaranth, and a St. Andre and truffle-enhanced pork loin with sweet potato.
In the end, Zucca Trattoria beat out Grand America by half a point, so Chef Elio Scanu will be Utah's ChefDance host in 2012.
Meanwhile, I'd make visiting each of these restaurants a high priority. We have a lot of amazing culinary talent in this town. Oh, and the marketing idea: how cool would it be if these restaurants ran a two-week special, recreating their competition menu? Then the public could try each one, and see whether they agree with the judges...Ed Carr? Can you make this happen?

I believe Bruce has another cowon, C2 possibly but I'm sure he'll tell you. As far as driving the hd555, I believe they have an impedance of 120 Ohm so any DAP will have a hard time driving them to full potential. I've read they need a lot of burn-in to loosen up the drivers to sound best but I'm one to pass that route and just listen to the chages along the way. Not sure about the amp in the i9 but I can tell you for sure that my i7 is much more powerfull.
Edit: BTW Spinifex welcome to abi, hope you enjoy

Sound quality wise I don't think there is any difference, im sure more knowledgeable chaps will be able to confirm same audio chips in both devices etc. It certainly has the same BBE tweaks.
The switch was purely for space as the C2 can carry an sd card. If 16gb is enough i would recommend the i9 over the C2 simply for a nicer lighter form factor.
Ipods are simple and intuitive, Cowon likes to filter out the audio purists via challenging UI, least that's what i think (if u want the better sound then god dammit u will have to fiddle me!!).
Perhaps a better choice may be the Sansa line of players which also sound great and when paired with rockbox custom firmware have heaps of extra bonuses. But the sansa stock firmware is fairly straight forward and if yer wife is unlikely to use any BBE tweaks/jet effects from the cowon player i9 then sound wise sansa is on par with cowons i.e. i find the BBE tweaks/jet effects of the cowon players to push past what the sansa sound can do, but many don't like tweaks or are unlikely to use anyway. There is no doubt the sansa players are very good value for money, just steer clear of the Fuze+ as it has not been well received, but the fuzev2, clip+ and clip zip are solid little players.

Over the past 2 years I have drastically cut down on the amount of sites I am active on. At this point pretty much the only sites I actually post on are PD and smogon, and cosmo to some degree. Smogon sucks ass as a community, but its the best you can get for competitive pokemon. I am kinda holding out to get a few people behind me to leave and form a new site, but its hard since 90% of active members end up being swept into the system. For good new members you have like a 3 month period before they get a badge and become smogonites themselves.
I actively browse specific youtube groups and channels like the vlog brothers and amazing atheist, I can't imagine myself posting on youtube though. Its the same story for memebase and knowyourmeme.
So what sites are you active on, maybe we can expand each others blogroll and get more out there.

After seeing all the users with very low postcounts in the Kagavi giveaway thread, it got me thinking about the type of users who frequent CF. Being a marketing guy, do you have any statistics you could provide on what the userbase of CF is like? Such as what percentage of active users post frequently, or how much traffic comes to the site of those signed in vs. not.
Although I joined in 2006, I would have considered myself a mega lurker until the last couple years. I would frequent the site daily, although would only come to read information and never really comment. I find that I am the same way now when it comes to on topic Cyclone related threads, although have started posting more in the off topic type threads as it's entertainment to get through the day :)
Any stats you could provide that shows what people frequent would be interesting as well (news articles vs. messages boards (broken down by individual forum, bball, football, off topic, etc).
Do you have any numbers on the average time users spend on the site per week as well? Great site you guys have developed here, just wanting to know if everyone else spends as much time as I do while working.
i'd take a histogram of posts per year of membership for each user
They should put together an infograph. That'd be pretty interesting.
I too lurked on this site for quite awhile before registering and actually posting consistently. But in my case when I'm home during the summer Fanatic tends to not work. (Something to do with my router I believe). So any posting I do is for the most part during the school year. Which works out anyway for the athletic seasons.
I think it'd be kinda interesting to see summer vs. football/basketball season total post #'s for the site.
I go into hibernation after basketball ends and then come back around spring. I'm like a bear.

You'd think Trisha Ventker would have given up Internet dating after her first "match"—an attractive architect who turned out to be a woman posing as a man. Instead, Ventker, then a New York City elementary school teacher, persevered through hundreds more, encountering a conspiracy theorist, a foot fetishist and finally Mr. Right (date No. 413). By the end of her six-year quest, she'd not only met husband Tom (with her, above) but also self-published a memoir, Internet Dates from Hell, for which producer Paula Wagner (Mission: Impossible) optioned the film rights. "It was a wonderful premise, deeper than the superficial comedy," says Wagner. "Trisha's story gets at the heart of the technocentric world we're living in." Ventker's advice for those still searching? "Women say, 'I want the man of my dreams, and he has to be six foot four and live within 20 miles.' Look at the big picture: Lower the height, raise the age, open it up, and you'll have more options."

I use sunblock on my face under makeup and this stuff along with my makeup would not wash off. I scrubbed and scrubbed and still felt like I had stuff on my face. I like a clean face at the end of the night, so this was a no go for me. It didn't irritate my skin, goes on clear, but is pretty greasy. If you don't wear makeup or just want to use it as a body block, it would probably work fine. I don't know if it would wash off better in that case, I haven't tried it. It has good ingredients and is recommended for people with eczema, so I am sure it is a good product. Just not for under makeup if you want it to wash off at night.
I like it OK being that it is zinc oxide based and natural, and in moderation it is tolerable; Significant Other found it way too thick and heavy and oily. Regardless of who does or does not like it around here, however, there's not much left after we each sampled it since it is a really small tube, it turns out. Will not be reordering it. If Grahams Natural Alternative can do this, they need to thin it out and take out some of the excess oiliness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dawna Lovely teapot! Loved the teapot so much that I ordered the matching sugar and creamer! January 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by lindaaz my favorite thing I bought the teapot, cups/saucers and sugar/creamer a year ago, and am still loving it. It is, of course, totally adorable. But it is also well made, which surprised me a bit. The cups fit your hand perfectly, and the pot has not stained. The pot and creamer pour just fine, and the pot and sugar bowl lids fit as they should. (That being said, I did inspect each piece at the store. But I found few that weren't perfect.) It's well worth the money even not on sale, though the sale made it even sweeter. If you are a bird lover, or know one, GET IT! You'll have no regrets. November 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MontereyDebi Charming I just purchased this and the matching cups/saucers set. It couldn't be sweeter! Make sure you get the cups and saucers to match. Would also make a great git set. Practical, well made and unique. Very happy! February 2, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by TrudyUSA Unique and whimsical, yet useful This fully functional teapot is great for my small teapot collection. It is delightfully unique and whimsical. Very pleasing to use for company or to treat myself to tea. A real conversation piece. January 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CABirder This teapot is very unique. I purchased this teapot to add to my collection. It is so unique and different. I just love it. January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cait Beautiful Teapot... bad internal design I love this teapot, don't get me wrong. However, when it pours, it doesn't have a flow. It just kind of unevenly... spills... out of the pot. It is also very difficult to completely empty the pot without flipping it completely upside down. Very upsetting when cleaning or trying to get the last cup of tea. That aside, it is a beautiful teapot. I didn't notice any problems with the lid being ill-fitting, like another review suggested. The only problem I had was the spout. It really does pour very strangely. It's like an uneven splashing rather than a stream of tea... which I really hate because it kind of makes it look like the bird is puking.... :/ February 12, 2013

Buried infrastructure management (BIM) can help you improve your sewer system while managing costs. Here are the steps necessary to implementing an effective BIM program (see chart on page 34):
Aging infrastructure and changing operational conditions are deteriorating our nation's sewer collection systems. Limited availability of resources to address the problem also poses a monumental challenge. These dilemmas have driven utility managers to implement a "find and fix as you go" approach. This often directs resources and spending to repairs that may not improve system performance or improve the overall condition of the assets measured by the utility condition index (UCI).
Sewer utilities can improve performance and reverse the aging process by implementing buried infrastructure management (BIM), a systematic planning process that allows them to leverage resources to maximize the immediate and long-term benefits of every action. The outcome: improved performance and increased UCI.
The process leading to an optimized BIM program begins with accurate mapping and a current inventory of the service (i.e., maintenance requirements) and structural condition of each asset (such as manholes and pipelines). This identifies the location, physical characteristics (such as age, material, size, and function), and the service and structural condition of the assets, which in turn helps the utility identify segments that require immediate attention.
Then, assets can be ranked according to the probability and consequences of failure. Assets most critical to system operation will rate higher on the consequence scale; assets in poorer condition will have a higher probability of failure. Assets with both a high consequence score and a high probability of failure pose the greatest risk and should receive the most attention. Those with a high consequence score should be inspected more often as failure of these carries the greatest cost. This effort provides the basis for a prioritized list of maintenance and capital improvements that help achieve the desired level of service.
During planning, multiyear budget forecasting and assessment of how different levels of spending improve the UCI are performed to establish the scope of work and budget for each year. Maintenance activities are scheduled based on potential for blockage and the consequence of backups and overflows. The schedule of capital improvements considers factors such as how different budget scenarios affect the overall condition of the sewer system, and the overall capital needs of pipelines, structures, treatment, and pumping facilities. The outcome of this task is a focused maintenance management and capital program designed to achieve immediate benefits in performance and the UCI.
In 2002, the town of Marblehead, Mass., experienced sewer surcharging and basement backups in areas previously not identified as problematic. The Marblehead Water and Sewer Commission (MWSC) immediately sprang into action to establish a program to inspect, inventory, and assess the condition of its 87 miles of sewer pipe, 2000 manholes, and 29 pump stations.
Recognizing the need to document the location and condition of its buried assets, the MWSC hired a consultant to prepare a GIS map of its collection system. Developed from existing as-built drawings and records, the commission substantially completed its electronic mapping by 2004. With the completion of the initial mapping efforts, the MWSC then hired InfraMetrix LLC of Wakefield, Mass., to develop a buried infrastructure inventory and assessment program and to demonstrate the program on the 187 manholes and 6.5 miles of pipe that comprise the Shorewood Road Pumping Station District's gravity sewer system.
Using truck-mounted zoom cameras and condition-assessment software, InfraMetrix located each of the district's manholes and inspected each manhole and pipeline. The physical characteristics—along with the service and structural condition of all of the MWSC's assets—were recorded on CD and evaluated in accordance with WRc defect codes, a standard methodology for describing internal sewer pipe conditions. Once the condition assessment was completed, InfraMetrix expanded upon the commission's GIS to include the video inspections, defect photos, and the service and structural condition ratings determined by certified Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) specialists. Having determined the maintenance requirements and structural defects, the commission performed cleaning and repairs to reduce the risk of costly emergency repairs and customer settlements.

Freshly killed prawn and gooey duck will end up in front of you. And here's the real kicker. The meal I had was $65 a person and it was a large, multiple-course sojourn. After three hours of taking whatever T.J. could dish out, I was full, enlightened and happy. While $65 a person may seem like a lot, consider how many crappy rolls you've downed in one evening. $130 for two people is not that far fetched and to have a guided tour of the world of sushi, sashimi and beyond like this is worth the price tag.

The sake and the all the Japanese words make it impossible for me to exactly recall every dish but here are a few of the highlights:
The sweet shrimp T.J. pulls it out of the tank, cuts off the head and sets it writhing on the plate. Not for the sushi squeamish. Later in the meal, the head is deep fried and crunched on down.
The jelly fish Served in a shot glass to be slurped this salty-sweet bowl of tentacles tastes better than you would think. It's jellyfish after all, but the concoction was a real eye-opener to the wide world of undersea eating.
[caption id="attachment_2327" align="alignnone" width="313" caption="THE JELLYFISH IS IN THE CENTER. SLURPY GOOD."][/caption]
The octopus Also freshly killed, and jumping on the plate. It doesn't get more fresh than that.
The tuna that I can't remember the name of. T.J. doesn't serve Toro or bluefin tuna at Naked Fish. Bluefin tuna is the most prized catch the sushi world and they are being hunted to extinction. He has found a source for a leaner and still yummy tuna that he says is caught and harvested from a sustainable population. Ask for it "can I have that tuna you have that isn't the tuna that is going to disappear off the face of the Earth any day now?"
Every thing else, from the fishy Dashi stew to the ginger gelato we closed out with, was exquisite and a true dining adventure. I felt like I'd had a master class in sushi and I'm spoiled for funky Charlie's and the like from here on out.
Amid a sea of cut rate sushi joints serving fried rolls and questionable fish, Naked Fish is throwing down the gauntlet and asking you to really learn about how sushi should be done. Belly up to the bar and get ready to find out what you've been missing.
And now a few words on the term "sustainability." It's hard to stomach sometimes food that's being flown half way around the world as "sustainable." It's an industry catch phrase that could use some work, semantically. But, while planes and boats are burning carbon to get it here, the term really applies to an ethic that Kwon is working at. The key here is that the fish and other sea creatures served at Naked Fish are caught or farmed or ranched by fishermen (or women, although I've never seen a gal on the Most Dangerous Catch) who are committed to keeping whatever swimming creature they hunt along for the long haul. Here's how Kwon explains the semantics of his goal:
"All of the seafood we serve must come from populations that are plentiful and in good health. Also, the method used to catch these fish must be done in an environmentally ethical manner (not damaging the surrounding ecosystem or other marine creatures). We attempt to source our meats must come from local ranches (or close proximity, i.g. Idaho) and the animals must be grass fed, hormone free, and free range. I'm working with board members from Wasatch Market Co-op, a local co-op, to try and figure out different ways to obtain local products.
Sourcing is only one part of sustainability. In order to be sustainable, we must also operate in a sustainable manner. We've joined the Green Restaurant Association, an organization designed to help incompetents, like myself, become more environmentally friendly. We try to purchase our power from renewable energy sources (for example, we participate in the Rocky Mountain Blue Sky Business Partner program). In addition, we have recently ordered reusable, chopsticks (due to come in next week). We use fully biodegradable to-go containers and all of our paper products are 100 percent recycled and minimum 40-80 percent post consumer content. We are looking to drastically reduce our production of waste by composting all allowable food items and are working with Momentum Recycling to have a comprehensive recycling program (for now we are simply recycling are aluminum, paper & cardboard and glass). I'm also working with Salt Lake Corp (e2 program).
We donate all corkage fees to Tag-A-Giant Foundation, an organization committed to reversing the decline of northern bluefin tuna populations. I'm also working with a partnership with the Marine Stewardship Council and Monterrey Bay Aquarium."
In an imperfect world, it's nice to see someone is trying. What do you all think about Kwon's attempt? Greenwashing through rose-colored glassess or on the right track? Chime in.

In the spring of 2011, Maugham School fifth graders participated in an artist in residence program with children's book author and illustrator, Dar Hosta, where they would mimic the writing and art techniques that Dar uses in her books. The children used rhyming couplets and collage to create a series of AMAZING animal books, and this is one of them!
Program Information can be found at www.darhosta.com.
Dar Hosta is a children's book author, illustrator and owner of independent publishing company, Brown Dog Books. The books here on Blurb represent her work as a certified educator and visiting author and illustrator. During Hosta's artist-in-residence programs, children work with her to write and illustrate collaborative picture books in the style of Dar Hosta's books. They use alliteration and rhyme for the writing and the technique of collage for the illustrations. Information on Dar Hosta and her educational programs can be found at www.darhosta.com.

December 2010
|Question: I'm looking for a 1925 Zeenut Reggie Rawlings card. Can you suggest possible sources?
Answer: Some of these old cards can be very tough to track down and sometimes you can pay a premium if you go through an online dealer. I would suggest setting up an item alert on eBay so that it emails you anytime a Zeenut Reggie Rawlings card gets listed on the site.
A 1925 Zeenut Reggie Rawlings card sold for $19.00 on December 13, 2010. These cards do pop up from time to time so you'll want to keep checking back to see if any other cards get put up for sale.
Question: I'm looking to buy my fiance a Hank Aaron 1954 rookie card rated PSA 5 or preferrably 6. Do you currently have any available or know who I could try to get in contact with?
Answer: We do not sell cards on our site but there are many resources available to pick up a Hank Aaron 1954 Topps RC card on the web. Back in March we chronicled the value of several PSA graded Hank Aaron rookie cards and the price range for a PSA 5-6 is $600-1,300. Once again, eBay would be your best source if you wanted to get one quickly as many are for sale currently:
1954 Topps Hank Aaron PSA Graded Rookies for sale.
Question: I recently purchased a box of 2001 Bowman Chrome Baseball with the intent of never opening. After doing some research I discovered that the Albert Pujols Auto Rookie was a redemption card? So you can't pull the actual card out of a pack? Please let me know if this is correct. Thanks!
Answer: Yes, it is my understanding that the '01 Albert Pujols was a redemption card that expired on June 30th, 2003. Most people are unaware of this and I only learned about the card being a redemption about 2 years ago. The Ichiro English and Japan cards are also redemptions.
Question: I have a few cards that I'd like to know prices on. If you could help out please let know!
2010 Eli Manning Playoff Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade. It's the Black Spectrum parallel I believe but it is just really different. It's serial numbered 2/10 It has his autograph and has a piece of jersey. Nothing special about that but the piece of jersey is white with what looks like it has a part of an autograph on it. I obviously compared the auto on card to the piece of jersey but it doesn't look like any part of his own.
2008 Ladanian Tomlinson Upper Deck Football Heroes serial numbered one of one. Black background.
2010 Dan Marino Absolute Memorabilia Tools of the Trade. Three jerseys but no autograph. The first is a small jersey... could possibly be a sock or something. The material is different. The second is a small patch 3 color and the third I think is from his shoe. It is white with what it looks like a yellow ironed screen print. Serial numbered 14/50.
2008 Absolute Memorabilia RPM Jonathan Stewart. It's serial numbered 13/15. It has a small patch on the top right. The auto is on a silver glossy part taking up most of the card and has the Panters logo stamped on it. I have a Jake Long exactly like it serial numberd to 15 as well.
One of my most different cards. It's a printing plate of Reggie White from the 1994 Collectors edge set. It says "Sir Reggie White" on it. It's the print from the back of the card.
I hope you can offer me some help!
Answer: These should give you an idea about a 'floor' price - and if someone offers you more - I'd consider it a fair offer...just depends on how much value you place on the card going forward as well. Hope this helps.
2010 Dan Marino Absolute Memorbilia Tools of the Trade - saw a 2 Patch
- with nothing too special sell for around $15 #/50, a 4 color dual
Patch went for $20+. Considering the Prime pieces might be a little
better than average, I'd say on eBay $25 - $33. Trade value to a
Marino fan, probably closer to $40.
2010 Eli Manning Playoff Absolute - sounds like you have a piece
where there was some markings - sometimes this is done by the player,
sometimes by staff who for some reason needed to mark that item.
Sometimes I've seen it for sizing, or identifying that those were
Eli's game pants, ... or possibly a superstition that he might have by
writing something ... I've seen/heard some different reasons.
Typically if it were a signature, the company would use it - however
it does make the card slightly more collectible compared to other
versions. I'm just going to totally guess on a price - Its probably
only slightly more valuable ... possibly 1.5x what a 'normal' #/10
patch Autograph would go for. If its a sticker autograph - on eBay I'd
say $87 - $98 .... on-card auto $100+ -- Trade value $100+ and sold at
the right time (NY making playoff run) you could maybe get $150 for
something like this if Eli was hot....mainly because he's in NY.
2008 Ladanian Tomlinson - this is the kind of card - if you have an
online store you put $75 on it and take offers. There are certainly LT
fans who want this - just not that much more over some of his other
cards. I think at auction you could get $20 for it...trade I'd take
2008 Absolute Memorabilia RPM Jonathan Stewart - there is a guy who is
selling #1/10 for $100 or best offer on eBay - its not exactly the
same version but similar. No reserve auction - I'd say it would sell
for $28 - $36 ... it'd sell better towards the beginning of seasons as
he usually has some fantasy hype. Trade - $40+ ... just because there
is some potential for growth.
Thanks again for the e-mail - feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Question: Do you have a checklist on your site that identifies the parallel/variant cards in the 2010 Topps Update Baseball set?
Answer: I have listed the ones I know of at the bottom of our 2010 Topps Update Baseball checklist page - its possible there are more.
Question: I have few 2010 Razor Cut Signature Edition cards. I have been wonder The famous film producer Louis B. Mayer, 1 of 1. How much it is worth? I have it. I need to know...
Answer: Hello thanks for the email. I cannot give you an exact price because it's a 1/1 and only after it's sold will you know.
You can compare it to others, someone is trying to get about $900 for a similar one on eBay MYSTERY CUTS AUTOGRAPH CUT AUTO: LOUIS B MAYER 1/1
Dealers and card store owners would probably give you $150 - $200, collectors of his will pay more. Hope this helps. In the future compare 1/1 cards to others on eBay to give you an idea of what it might sell for. Hope that helps.
Question: I have been collecting Sweet Spot Upper Deck 2010 Football. Actually went a bit crazy and am trying to put a complete set together. I just bought Dan Marino signatures 1 of 3. After buying it (haven't received it yet), but I compared the eBay picture with the one of the same card you posted Dan Marino sweet spot 2010 1 of 3. The signatures although both look like Dan Marino signatures are in different spots on the helmet, clearly different cards. Any idea how this may be possible, where did you get the picture of the card from? Puzzled. The eBay seller has many transactions with a perfect rating and states the card is original. Any ideas?
Answer: Great question - and thanks for the email. The photos I have are from the early promotion of the set. The Dan Marino in particular was one of the first photos released of the set originally I believe in February 2010. I'm guessing that is good Photoshop work or they used a different helmet for the card once the product came out many months later. Without checking the auction, I can be almost certain you are getting the real thing. Real photos tend to be a bit blurry because the helmet sits off the scanner so I left the stock photos up for most cards because they look a little nicer.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any further questions.
Question: I have two different Stephen Strasburg 2010 Topps #661 cards. what do you know?
Answer: There are 3 total variations of the #661 Stephen Strasburg Card.
1) The Million Card Redemption Code Version
2) 2010 Topps Factory Set Version
3) 2010 Topps Update Baseball Version
Here are pictures of all three cards: 2010 Topps Series 2 Stephen Strasburg #661 (RC) Redemption

ZF-11484: setting enableHeaderCheck doesn't read the file type passed by the browser
If fileinfo is NOT enabled and enableHeaderCheck is set to true on the isImage validator the "type" in the $_FILES array is NOT used. Things go wrong because in Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract the _detectMimeType function defaults to "application/octet-stream" if fileinfo isn't found which is used to set the type in the adapters internal files hash. Maybe the validator should use the $_FILES array directly or the _dectectMimeType should consider the headerCheck flag and fall back on using the "type" key.

With wildfire danger at an all-time high, it's safe to say July's been en fuego hot. And just like retreating into an air-conditioned movie theater or refusing to wear anything with sleeves, there are plenty of ways to keep yourself nice and cool in makeup-melting weather.
Here are a few of my favorite summer refreshers:
Action Wipes, $25 for 25
Creator Martha Van Inwegen is a mom and outdoor enthusiast who believes in all-natural products, which is why her version of the ubiquitous wet wipe only includes anti-bacterial oils found in nature, free of harsh chemicals and carcinogens. (They're also reusable—just wash, then spray with their solution.) I use these after work to get the makeup off ASAP, as well as refresh the sweaty parts of my body throughout the day.
Coconut Water
So much of how you feel on the outside comes from the inside, which is why cold treats and drinks hit their height of popularity in summer. I'm not quite up to speed on the Aloe Vera drink trend, said to be the ultimate inner refrigerator, but I do swear by uber-hydrating, vitamin-packed coconut water. With just enough calories and "meat" to hold you over to the next meal, it's one of my favorite cool-down and re-energize beverage.
Hydrosols (product shown: Green Tea antioxidant hydrosol, $12; thecreeksidecreations.com)
Local companies like The Creekside Creations and Natural Joy Beauty have caught on to the concept of hydrosols, or distilled flora and fauna. These sprays are known to be therapeutic (learn more about them here, and feel great spritzed on your skin, or added to cold water for refreshment from the inside, out).
Palladio Rice Paper, $3.99; Got Beauty
When you notice a little extra sheen on your T-zone, a few pats with this paper make you look mat again. And it feels so much better than caking on an extra coat of powder.
Now that I've shared my favorites, feel free to leave your temp-dropping tricks in the comments. And sorry to leave you with a cheesy, high-school-yearbook kind of sign-off, but...STAY COOL!

When people usually think of cardiovascular fitness the first thing that comes to mind is long, slow runs, and the assumption is the longer you can go the better shape you are in. Although this is a valid measure of specific fitness, the approach isn't necessarily the most effective training approach to elicit great improvements in cardiovascular fitness. In fact, if this is all you do during training, you are more likely to hit a plateau and suffer from aches and pains associated with large volumes of repetitive stress under fatigue.
Interval training is an alternate approach to long, slow duration training. This involves training that alternates between short, intense bouts of exercise and periods of true recovery. This will take you from an effort level that is easy, up to a hard effort, and then back down to an easy effort. To do a "true interval," you must allow your heart rate to truly recover before picking the intensity back up. The following are some of the key benefits of interval training.
In order to bring about positive physical changes to your cardiovascular system, the body must be presented with a workload that challenges its current fitness state. By overloading the heart and lungs, you are increasing your endurance and cardiovascular fitness level, which is the same principle as weight training (overloading a muscle will result in increasing the muscle's strength). The heart is a muscle, so it must be overloaded to improve its strength. At the same time, the rest of the respiratory system is improving, including the lungs and blood circulation, for better endurance. This workload will cause fatigue, and with proper recovery, will eventually yield cardiovascular improvements. It is important to note that the overload happens during training, while adaptation occurs during recovery - thus, making recovery a vital part of your programming.
Increased Caloric Burn:
Another advantage of interval training is that you can actually burn more total calories in the same amount of training time.
By designing intervals into your conditioning session, you are provided with variety across each workout. The working intervals are kept to about 5-minute work sets, balanced with the appropriate amount of recovery to help facilitate this motivation. You will be much more inclined to push yourself during the training, if you know you will get a chance to recover shortly.
Another benefit of interval training is that it increases your metabolism, both during your training session and after. It is not just about what your body is doing during the workout; it is important to understand what your body is doing the rest of the day. Studies have shown that interval training raises your metabolism after a workout, and keeps it up longer than any "steady state" workout. Steady state exercise refers to any exercise that stays at the same workload for a long period of time.
Increase Anaerobic Threshold:
Interval training allows us to train at a higher intensity for a longer period of time throughout the duration of our training session, due to the intermittent recovery throughout. As our bodies become more efficient, we are able to train at a higher intensity without crossing over into our anaerobic energy system. This results in more calories being burned, an increased threshold to fatigue and quicker recovery between bursts of activity.
