The Holy Grail of hair restoration would be to figure out exactly how these chemical signals work. A future drug might contain all the signals needed to grow hair in bald areas of the head. But the complexity of the body's chemical language means such a drug is decades from reality, Washenik says.
But it's already possible to seed bald areas of the head by transplanting follicle from areas where there's still plenty of hair. This works pretty well for men, who generally don't lose the hair on the back of the head. For women, however, age-related hair losshair loss often affects the back of the head. That's why hair transplants tend to be much less successful for women.
And there are only so many hair follicles. Even successful hair transplants don't grow as rich a crop of hair as most people would like.
Hair Cloning: What It Is -- and Isn't
The basic idea behind hair cloning is to harvest healthy follicle stem cells. But instead of transplanting them right away, researchers have learned how to make the stem cells or seeds multiply.
It's not cloning, which uses different techniques. New follicle stem cells are grown in laboratory cultures. Then they are attached to tiny skin-cell scaffolds and implanted into bald areas of the scalp.
"The idea is to take these cells from the bulb of the hair, grow them in culture, and come back with an increased number of hair seeds you could inject into the scalp," Washenik says. "You start with a small number of hairs and come back with a larger number of hair seeds, and inject them into one area, and just create brand-new hair follicles."
Moreover, researchers have discovered that some follicle cells do more than regenerate. They give off chemical signals. Nearby follicle cells -- which have shrunk during the agingaging process -- respond to these signals by regenerating and once again making healthy hair. It works in lab mice. And, Washenik says, it works in human skin cultures, too.
"So this three-to-four-years-away number is not fantasy," Washenik says. "It is biotechnology research, and nature can always step in the way and slow things down. But the concept of tissue-engineered hair growth to create a new hair organ looks very real."

Teddy Bears Picnic (38 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
We transformed a boring looking venue into 'Amelie's Woods' with green carpets, oversized balloon trees and huge teddy bears to create an enchanted woodland that would be the backdrop to the Teddy Bear's Picnic themed entertainment.
We created a beautiful on-theme sweet table which was covered in grass and had mini trees and picket fencing all the way round to mirror the decorations used the venue space too. Little teddy bears sat on sweet filled favour boxes and truffles were encased in gorgeous leaf shaped cases with lady bird detailing. It really was a fairy tale sweet table.
The young guests each received handmade teddy bear ears on arrival so that they could go transform into teddy bears and enter the enchanted woodland. With party games galore, teddy bear cookie decorating and finally a Teddy Treasure Hunt to end on, the kids found their way to their prize - gorgeous mini picnic baskets which they were then able to fill with all the goodies from the sweet table.
The party was a perfect success. The children forgot where they were and all went home with their teddy bear ears on a sign perhaps, that they were wanting the magic to last that little bit longer…

More Inspiration
For $1.99/month (less than the price of one cappuccino, one movie rental or a pack of gum…) or $18/year or more you'll receive unlimited access to all Improvised Life content and its vast archive.
REALLY love us? Contributions of $250/year or more will receive a 1-hour Skype or FaceTime consultation with Sally about an interior design or cooking dilemma (you can also give this as a gift!)
Help us fund (ad-free) the MANY hours of writing, research, and cold hard sweat that goes into curating and editing Improvised Life.
Always an adventure cyber romping through here, Sally. Loved the picture frames, so, this time, went to Remodelista, and from there to designer Virginia Johnson (in Toronto), and from VJ to Task, A brooklyn shop that is selling her Marimekko type (maybe even better) quilts and pillowcases. However, also discovered that Task now has an e-store for those who want to pursue, but aren't near at hand.
I have seen and bought frames like this before from Bed Bath and Beyond. Don't think they have them in stock any more, but it is a convenient alternative. Cutting mats is a real art, and it's one I've never mastered. Pre-cut mats are helpful, but as you note, they are not always perfect. They also are only available in standard sizes, so unless you plan for that, you have to be a bit creative in the ones you do use.
Cara, I love your one thing-leading-to-another finds. Task looks great. Thanks! Here's the link to their blog and e-store: http://www.tasknewyork.com/
If the Improvised Life is a source of creativity, inspiration, ideas and change in your daily life, please consider becoming a Friend with Benefits. A little bit goes a long way towards helping us publish fresh AD-FREE content each day.

Saturday Morning Mail
One of the part owners of Pressday was done up in all her finery when she took part in the presentation ceremony. She could have won a "Best Dressed" competition as well.
Jockey Luke Nolen was obviously thrilled to be in front of the Justracing camera during the presentation to Set For Fame, who he should have been riding to victory in the Stradbroke. In the background Peter Moody could have trained the 2010 Stradbroke winner, but now he won't have a runner.
Coolmore's Duncan Grimley was photographed at the Magic Millions sale last week.
Magic Millions Lot 1201 was the broodmare prospect Hussyanna, a daughter of Hussonet. She sold for $37,000 and is a half sister to handy Brisbane 2YO Buffering. Interestingly the family of Buffering and Hussyanna, in its first three dams has won races in Korea, Italy, Germany, America, Ireland, England, Canada and Hong Kong - which is all pretty amazing.
If you are taking the children, grandchildren, or just yourself on the Swanbank train - you will pass right by the water plants which help send electricity around the State.
As the steam train approaches the Ipswich racetrack, a couple of racehorses prick their ears at the noise of the whistle.
A couple of the part owners of Girl Hussler caught up with jockey Larry Cassidy after the win.
This was jockey Larry Cassidy returning on Triple Honour after that chaffbandit had won the Eagle Farm Cup. His owner can be seen leading him in - but he wouldn't have got fit from leading his horse in, in recent years, as Triple Honour hadn't won since August 2008.
Unraced broodmare prospect Invitation Only sold for $40,000. She is a 2004 foaled daughter of General Nediym and was in foal to American born stallion Tale of the Cat. A daughter of her second dam produced Group 1 winners - Nicconi (by Bianconi) and Niconero (by Danzero).
The Jim Griffith Way - near the Magic Millions complex and Gold Coast Turf Club - is named after one of the nicest racing personalities I had the pleasure of meeting - the late Jim Griffiths. "Gentleman Jim" as he was affectionately called, is remembered at this time each year as he trained Spedito to win the 1975 big sprint double of the Stradbroke Handicap and the Doomben 10,000 at big odds. Graham Cook rode Spedito in both races.
Chris Munce returns - looking pretty smug, after winning the Queensland Oaks on 30/1 outsider Miss Keepsake.
Then he weighed in and went to the presentation ceremony with the winning trainer Andrew Scott.
As the steam train approached it's destination I took this photo of the tents that are already up for Ipswich Cup day - next Saturday week.
These two big smoke stacks at Swanbank power station are lit up at night so that any planes can see them. Any motorist driving in the area can see them also. The power lines radiate out from the building - although they are not that clear in the photo.
Trainer Mark Kavanagh popped into Brisbane last Saturday and watched his galloper Catapulted win the last race. He was pictured following the win. My thoughts are extended to anyone who has to try to interview him for radio or television.
Mark Kavanagh's son Sam was also in Brisbane last Saturday - and he was photographed after Catapulted won. Sam comes across well in interviews, so 50% is better than no per cent.
Talking of Catapulted, here he is returning to scale with winning jockey Damien Oliver. Via his win last Saturday, Catapulted will now take his place in the Stradbroke field on this Saturday.
This mare Killcare Beach created plenty of spirited bidding when she entered the Magic Millions sales ring. She's a daughter of Testa Rossa - and is an unraced half sister to Group 2 placed Miss Mooney Mooney and she's a full sister to Group 3 winner, come stallion prospect Publishing. Killcare Beach sold for $60,000 to bloodstock agent Vin Cox.
Lyndhurst Stud's Jeff Kruger was photographed at the Magic Millions sale last week.
This is a file photo of top pacer Freckles, photographed in full flight one day at Rocklea on his way to another victory with his trainer Tim Gillespie driving him. Did you know they named a pre-school after him? Well hang on - and I'll prove it.
Well there's the proof. It's situated at Tweed Heads, not far from Seagulls.
Shootout paraded yesterday at the Gold Coast for on course patrons - and Dan Costello sent this photo through of the event. That's Dan Wheeler, the astute trackwork rider of the horse leading him, whilst at the background trainer Johnny Wallace looks as happy as a kid in a lolly shop, as does part owner Linda Huddy. Johnny Wallace - when what the late Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen referred to as "feeding the chooks" - told the said chook recently that Shootout "is going to be a star".
Now they are big words, so the passage of time will tell us if he is a good judge or not. Meanwhile the chooks have to be fed - and they love getting told positive stuff like that by trainers and jockeys, in fact they think they have an exclusive when someone tips them their horse. Bet you the said "chook" referred to above, is already on Shootout in the Cups. Now every day he wakes up he'll break up in a cold sweat wondering whether the horse is still sound, as it's "All-In" betting.
Here's what I reckon would have happened if the "chook" referred to above, had interviewed Sir Joh over Shootout:
Chook: "Mr Premier do you think Shootout could do Queensland proud and win the Caulfield Cup"?
Premier: Don't you worry about that - I know you, you, young people are forever trying to make mountains out of molehills and I'm not in favour of the mining tax, although the revenue would come in handy, for us to give some grants for important projects like say investigating the mating habits of some rare red and green tree frog up in the Daintree. Why don't you just leave me alone now and go and ask that Webwanker bloke about Shootout, or maybe even John Wayne. He was into shootouts"? I'm trying to keep the streets safe and then they name a racehorse in such away as to incite violence. I'll talk to Johnny Walters and Linda Nuddy to see if they'll change the name, but if Shootout hits the headlines, that will make a mockery of the guns laws stuff".

Paula Deen, who was the center of controversy last year for using racial slurs, closed her Georgia restaurant, Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House. Radar Online, April 3, 2014 reports that the employees of the restaurant didn't know about the closing until they read about it on Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House Facebook page.
The message on the Facebook page said, "Thank you for 10 great years. Uncle Bubba's is now closed."
Several employees left a message below the announcement. No one knew that the place would suddenly close, and the now jobless employees are not happy about the way they found out.
According to the WSAV website, an off duty police officer has been seen outside the restaurant. SCMPD said that the officer was privately hired.
The Key Group, released an official statement. "Since its opening in 2004, Uncle Bubba's Oyster House has been a destination for residents and tourists in Savannah, offering the region's freshest seafood and oysters. However, the restaurant's owner and operator, Bubba Hiers, has made the decision to close the restaurant in order to explore development options for the waterfront property on which the restaurant is located. At this point, no specific plans have been announced and a range of uses are under consideration in order realize the highest and best use for the property.
The closing is effective today, Thursday, April 3, 2014. Employees will be provided with severance based on position and tenure with the restaurant. All effort will be made to find employees comparable employment with other Savannah restaurant organizations."
Apparently, it was business as usual at Uncle Bubba's the day before. On the April 2, Uncle Bubba's Facebook page, they posted the question, "Which one is your favorite stew at Uncle Bubba's: Crab or Oyster." On April 1, they posted, "Our crab leg special is back y'all! Tuesday and Wednesday nights, one pound of fresh steamed crab legs for $16.99. People bought Groupons to use at the restaurant, but now the Groupons are worthless.
The restaurant was named after Paula's brother, Bubba Hiers. He ran the restaurant and he was sued along with Paula in the racial lawsuit. Lisa Jackson filed charges against Paula and Bubba for racial slurs. Some staff members who worked at Uncle Bubba's accused him of sexual harassment.

Feeling guilty has been bred into me. It's a part of my cultural heritage – a gift handed down from one generation to the next along with lefse, oyster stew, and pickled herring.
I must admit I do enjoy lefse occasionally. But, I never liked pickled herring or oyster stew. And, I've been working hard on getting rid of the guilt.
One facet of life for me that's a particular struggle is being green. You see, I've been working in the environmental field for over 10 years. My specific area of focus is identifying what pollutants in our environment (both outside and inside) are impacting our children's health. As you can imagine, the research is often very grim: pesticides on food linked to learning impairments, chemicals in plastic linked to cancer, lead in toys.
Knowing so much about the issue increases the guilt factor in everyday decisions. When I forget my reusable bag and use the plastic bag at the store – what kind of pollution am I contributing to? When my daughter wants to use her allowance on candy – what kind of artificial food colorings and other chemicals am I allowing her to ingest? You'd think I'd be a neurotic mess, but I've figured out some tips over time to maintain my sanity.
Here are 5 tips that help me live a (somewhat) guilt-free green life:
1. Embrace your natural, selfish instincts. It's not always about protecting the planet, it's about being healthy and protecting your family. As a young adult, I thought recycling and buying second-hand was radically progressive environmentalism. When I became pregnant with my first daughter, the picture became much clearer (and scarier). I learned about genetically engineered foods, indoor air pollution, and drinking water contaminants. Everything around me suddenly became a potential threat to my vulnerable, unborn child. My response had nothing to do with protecting our planet. These threats struck a fundamental instinct to protect my child. I became determined to create a better world in order to have a healthier place for my child to thrive.
2. Understand balance. I have to research environmental health issues every day at the same time as I watch my two precious daughters grow in this toxic world filled with many risks I can't even begin to protect them from. Years ago, I had to come to a certain peace within myself that I could only do my best. At the end of the day, I put away the worry as best as I can and simply try to enjoy life and be grateful for what I have and can do. I try to find balance by reducing the risks I can, eating healthy, exercising, and finding joy with my daughters. The last three factors go a long way in creating a healthy body that's more capable of fighting toxic assaults, illness and disease. Try to find your balance.
3. Embrace the fact that no one can do everything, but everyone can do something. Don't be paralyzed by the multitude of recommendations for green living in the world. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Just do what YOU can do. Find what works for YOUR family and YOUR life. I've found that the actions I feel guilted into doing are not the ones that stick. The ones I come to in my own time, on my own terms – those stick. Do it your way.
4. Teach others. I know this recommendation sounds altruistic (and it can be), but this is my personal loophole. Sometimes, I let myself indulge in moments or products I know are not green OR healthy, because I know that through my work teaching others I have off-set these moments elsewhere. It's like carbon off-sets. You pay someone else to pollute less, so you can do a little more and not increase the overall global burden.
5. Celebrate EVERY success. I know there are those out there who say we aren't doing enough to avoid global catastrophe. But, I strongly believe that the only way we will make a significant leap in human behavior is by celebrating success and embracing inspiration. Guilt is a really, really bad motivator. I would much rather that each and every one of you out there feel gleeful for every single green and healthy step you take. I don't care what it is – feel joy for doing so and spread that joy to others.
Do you try to live green or non-toxic? How do you deal with the guilt factor?

It seems like some of the badges can be earned through poor questions, which in some ways defeats the merit that the badge is supposed to reflect. For example, the Notable Question requires 2500 views on a single question. The problem is that a question becomes notable if it is really good OR if it is really bad. Would it make sense to put a requirement of at least positive upvotes on certain badges? Or is it truly the intent of the badge to merely reflect views?

Fragments of the earth's crust drifted together to form Alaska. And they are still very much in the process of drifting and forming. And what they have formed is already the largest state in the United States of America. It's twice as large as Texas and has fifty percent more coastline than all the states in the lower 48 put together. We'll tour the Red Onion Saloon; ride the White Pass and Yukon Railroad and check out 1,500 square miles of ice cap.

FIREFIGHTERS SPRAY water on the back portion of the Bergland Foods Store, formerly known as Nordine's, while it's being torn down in Bergland on Friday after being destroyed in a fire.
BERGLAND — Bergland Foods Store, formerly known as Nordine's, was destroyed in a fire Friday morning.
According to an official on the scene, a family living in the apartment behind the store/gas station heard three small explosions around 2 a.m. The family left the apartment safely and called 911 after seeing black smoke coming from the building.
The family is staying at a local motel after the loss of its apartment.
Officers responded from the Ontonagon County Sheriff's Department and Michigan State Police Wakefield Post. Fire departments from Bergland, Lake Gogebic, Carp Lake and Marenisco also responded.
According to the official, a fire marshal from the Michigan State Police will investigate the cause.
By Friday afternoon, the store was destroyed and was being torn down.
"The township of Bergland would like to thank all the firemen who responded and assisted with this fire, as well as all of the community residents who have extended their help and support," township supervisor Dale Kuivenen said.
Former owner Tom Nordine said the building was built in 1967 and was purchased by his family in 1981. After 32 years, it was sold to Ray Forester, of Wausau, Wis ., in January 2012.
According to Nordine, the store was one of four stores his family owned, and now only one remains.
Stores in Bruce Crossing and Ewen no longer exist and the store in Watersmeet is still owned by the Nordines.

Nov. 28, 2012
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- On Thanksgiving night 2012, a new rivalry was born.
The University of Iowa football managers had battled the University of Wisconsin's managers yearly for the Rusty Toolbox trophy, which became a staple of the Iowa-Wisconsin rivalry. With the Badgers rotating off the Hawkeyes' schedule in 2011, a new rivalry -- and a new trophy -- was found.
And so, the battle for "The Helmet" was created.
The equipment and video staffs from the University of Nebraska entered the UI Indoor Practice Facility on Thursday night to battle the Hawkeye managers for a helmet painted half black, half white, the Nebraska "N" on the white side, and the Iowa tigerhawk on the other. An instant classic would ensue, with the Hawkeyes claiming a 12-6 victory in triple overtime.
From the beginning, both the Hawkeye and Cornhusker defenses took control, keeping the game scoreless through one quarter. The first breakthrough came midway through the second quarter, when Iowa quarterback Tanner Butler, backed up inside his own 20-yard line on the 80-yard field, found Dan Pease for a 46-yard completion. He found Pease again for a 14-yard gain to the 2-yard line.
On third-and-goal, Butler rolled to his right, evading the Husker rush. Eventually, the senior quarterback fired a bullet to Jaye Nauman in the front corner of the end zone for an Iowa touchdown. It would be the last Hawkeye touchdown in regulation. For the most of the remainder of the game, the defenses regained control, keeping the score at 6-0. For the Hawkeyes, Tyler Greiner was a force, recording six tackles, two sacks, three pass deflections, and an interception. The Hawkeyes forced three interceptions in regulation, with Ben Morrow and Ben Dolan adding picks for the Iowa defense.
However, the Cornhuskers tied the game on a short touchdown pass with 35 seconds left, giving Nebraska a chance to take the lead on a one-point conversion. The Iowa defense forced an incompletion, and after a last-gasp effort, headed for overtime. In the first overtime, the Hawkeyes could not score, giving Nebraska another chance to claim victory. The Iowa defense again stonewalled the Cornhuskers, and on fourth down, Nauman intercepted the Nebraska quarterback and returned it for a touchdown -- only for a penalty to extend the game.
After the teams traded possessions in the second overtime, the Hawkeyes lined up for their third crack at the end zone in triple overtime. On the first play, Butler, who was 12-of-20 for 193 yards and two touchdowns, found Dolan in the back corner of the end zone for what proved to be the decisive score. Dolan finished with 85 total yards of offense, including 64 receiving yards.
Three plays later, on fourth-and-goal, pressure from Greiner and blanket coverage in the secondary, forced an incompletion from Nebraska, and the Hawkeyes ran across the field to claim "The Helmet" for the first time.
On Nov. 22, a tradition was born. In 2013, Wisconsin returns to the schedule, so the Hawkeye managers will have two tasks: keep The Helmet, and win back The Toolbox.

Canon 5D Mark III "Light Leak" Fix Is In: Add Black Electrical Tape
A fix for the exposure metering issue in the Canon 5D Mark III — which some have dubbed a "light leak" — appears to be in. And it seems as simple as Canon adding what looks like black electrical tape to the interior of the camera to prevent excessive light from the top LCD screen from throwing off metering.
Roger Cicala of Lens Rentals took apart a "new" 5D Mark III that arrived recently and noticed Canon appears to have added "very cool black tape they used to cover circuit boards" under the top LCD.
He knows the tape is a new addition because he took apart one of the early Canon 5D Mark IIIs a few weeks ago and there was no tape.
Below is a teardown of the original 5D Mark III without the tape and then the new camera with the tape. (Click to enlarge the photos.)
A simple fix but it seems effective.

Baghdad, Jan 17, (VOI) – The Iraqi ministries of defense and interior will receive 650 U.S. Humvee vehicles as part of efforts to build up the capability of the Iraqi army, the Defense Ministry said on Thursday.Many seem to overlook the importance of Iraq as a trade partner with the United States. Antiwar rhetoric paints the war as an endless expense that inevitably turns into financial loss. While victory in the war offers no guarantees by itself, the benefits of trade (including arms) and oil supply offer the potential of a strong economic benefit. And that's ignoring the invaluable prospect of a strong Middle Eastern ally with a predisposition to favor representative government and the continued defeat of the aims of al Qaeda.

PULLMAN - Former Cougar player Shannon Wyckoff Hunt has been promoted to assistant coach for the Washington State volleyball program, Head Coach Jen Greeny announced Wednesday.
"We are thrilled to have Shannon as part of our fulltime staff," Greeny said. "It was a logical fit knowing that she has the same philosophy as the rest of our coaching staff and has been working with this team for two years already."
Hunt has been a volunteer coach with the Cougar volleyball program since August 2011. She was an outstanding student and athlete at WSU from 1994 through 1997, and a teammate of Greeny. During Hunt's collegiate career the Cougars volleyball team played all four years in the NCAA Championship Tournament and advanced to the Elite Eight once and to the Sweet Sixteen once.
Hunt was the first Washington State player to reach 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in a career. Her 1,254 career digs was the WSU all-time list leader from 1997 until 2008 and is currently second-best all-time. Hunt tallied 1,051 career kills which was fifth-best at the time and now ranks ninth-highest in school history. In addition, her career 83 service aces total is ranked 11th-best at WSU.
Prior to returning to WSU Hunt taught and coached in the Vancouver, Wash., area for a dozen years. She was the head volleyball coach at Prairie High School in Brush Prairie, Wash., for the 2000 through 2003 seasons where she tallied a state championship tournament berth and had three players advance from prep to collegiate volleyball careers. Hunt then moved to the newly constructed Hockinson High School, also in Brush Prairie, Wash., where she was the head volleyball coach from 2004 through 2010. At Hockinson, Hunt led two Hawks' volleyball teams to state championship tournaments and had five players play collegiately after their prep volleyball careers.
Hunt lives in Pullman with her husband Joe and their sons Grayson, 9, and Austin, 7.

I need to restrict access to a specific port only, on my apache server (I'd like that only the SSL port (443) is used on my webserver). So for example, if an user try to connect to standard port 80, he would get an access denied message. I googled for a possible solution, but I was not able to find good configuration examples.

Spring to Java EE Migration – Part 4, the Finale
By Janice J. Heiss on Apr 24, 2012
He concludes the series with these remarks:
"In this series of articles, we developed a Java EE version of Spring's Pet Clinic application. We saw how the advanced tooling provided by NetBeans enables us to quickly develop a Java EE application…. Once we were done building the Java EE version of the application, we compared it with the Spring version, noting that the original version has several dependencies whereas the Java EE version has none, because it takes advantage of all the services provided by the Java EE application server.
Finally, we compared how to implement similar functionality such as MVC and DAO implementation, transaction management, and dependency injection with Spring and Java EE. In every case with Spring, some XML configuration needs to be done besides adding annotations to the code. Java EE relies on convention, and in most cases, no XML configuration is needed in order to implement these services.
Although newer versions of Spring rely a lot less on explicit XML configuration than earlier versions, there are always a few little lines here and there that we need to add to an XML configuration file in order to get most of the Spring annotations to work, violating the DRY (don't repeat yourself) principle...
Additionally, Spring applications tend to have several dependencies, because they are meant to run in a "lightweight" Servlet container such as Tomcat or Jetty and these containers don't provide all the required functionality. In contrast, Java EE applications are meant to be deployed in a full-blown Java EE 6 application server such as Oracle GlassFish Server...
For these reasons, I always recommend Java EE over Spring for enterprise application development."
Have a look at the article here.

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I ordered (and received) the Home Mat. I have been decorating cakes for just under a year, as a hobby, for family and friends. I have used The Mat 3 times and have to say this is the best decorating tool that I have purchased. I really enjoy working with fondant and The Mat has taken all the guess work out of how much fondant to use and eliminated having to constantly measure the size that I've rolled out. I love The Mat and am so happy I ordered it. Greatest invention ever! Thank you so much.
Kind regards,

The Grizzly Bear population in British Columbia is decreasing. However, despite this fact, the Canadian government has increased the hunting quota and opened areas previously closed to Grizzly Bear hunters.
Scientists are concerned about the decreasing population of Grizzly Bears, and worry that hunting quotas and regulations are not based on current science. In fact, scientists say these quotas are based on bear population estimates that are 10 years old. The Government should examine the current data and take measures to protect Grizzly bears, such as lowering quotas and placing the species on the endangered list if necessary.
Tell the Canadian government to lower grizzly bear hunting quotas to protect this animal.

An area northwest of Bend, Oregon is the site for two out of control wildfires that began on Saturday June 7th.
The Oregon Department of Forestry's Incident Management Team 2 was dispatched to assume command of the Two Bulls Fires - two new wildfires that were reported by the Black Butte Lookout at 12:48 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, burning 10 miles northwest of Bend, Oregon, and that quickly burned towards each other. The cause of the two fires is under investigation.
The Central Oregon Bulletin has an interactive map and photos. They indicate they will keep this page updated.
There have been some evacuations and other residents of the area have been put on stand-by. The American Red Cross Cascades Region relocated its shelter from Cascade Middle School, on the city's west side, to High Desert Middle School, which is located at 61111 27th St., in Bend. Anyone affected by the wildfire can go to the shelter.
The fire now has an inciweb page that can be checked for updates: inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/3889.
KTVZ.Com is providing information on the fire as well as evacuation and closure information.
If you are in the Bend area and wish to receive emergency notifications from Deschutes County 911, go to this website and register your cell phone number. The Citizen Emergency Notification System allows county officials to send a message describing the situation and recommending action, including evacuation.
A Twitter feed has been set up to relay information about the fires. #TwoBullsFire
The City of Bend Facebook page also has updated information for residents.

Hello everyone
,I am from Canada and turned 35 yrs old On march 24. It's has been over 2 months with symptoms and I am still not sure what is wrong with me. I am so afraid that my doctors know I have late stage OC and that I am to far gone so they are delaying telling. It has been a nightmare for me and my family. Here is my story
On march 10 I was having a pressure burning in my girl parts. Thought I was having a another UTI and treated myself with Macrobid *? I have for treating myself cause I was getting them often. After 7 days on this I was still having symptoms and thought maybe it was a yeast infection ( which I have never had before) so went to the pharamcist she said didn't sound like thats what i had and to go to my Dr.
So the next day off i went to the Dr.I couldn't get into my regular dr but saw another. I gave a urine sample and the Dr. put his hand on his head and said...here I think this will work for that , as he handed me a precition for Cipro. Then said if your not feeling any better in4/5 days come back. The next day I ended up in the ER after spending the day driving in a car. I was in pain on my lower right side. Pressure in bladder, rectum and hip. They said I had a yeast infection and that my urine was clear and to wait for the Cipro to work.
Well 4 days later still no better and went back to Dr. on March 21st. This time Dr said urine was fine, i would still have symptoms,not to drink so much cranberry juice and come back in two weeks. This was My regular Dr and she couldn't get me out of her office fast enough. That was the last time I went to her. One week later still with symptoms of bloating, pressure and all over icky I went to my husbands Dr. He examimed my abdomen and sent me for blood work and urine and prego test. Next day he said blood and urine work was clear and not prego. Next was Xray and pelvic exam.
the next day I went for my xray's . 2 days later was pelvic. On the pelvic exam he told me i had alot of discharge and gave me Flagyl. When I ask him if he felt anything that would concern him about ovarian cancer he shook his head no and then said it would have to be awfully small. My husband came in the office with me so he could hear what the Dr had to say.I told him I was on the pill and was worried because I have and had alot of OC symptoms over the last few months. He went on to talk about us having kids in the future and everthing.
A day later When I went back for the xray results he said my chest xray was clear but that the spine showed tiny miraginals of oesteoarthitis . and He sent me home with Prioxcam for 7 days.
My story is too long to write all I have been through the last 2 months so here is a few more events short hand.:
After many trips back to the Dr. and so much stress and bad anxeity he gave me a mild sleeping pill and am now on teva alprazolam .25, had another trip to the ER one weekend with urine test showed bacteria again treated with antibiotics and the ER did an ultrasound but only on my upper right side , said things looked fine.When I ask the ER Dr to look at my pelvis with the ultrasound he said No he couldn't do that in the ER ??? WHAT .Now My Dr got me an ultrasound for pelvic, renal, blabber but I have been waiting over a month and finally go this Friday May 27th.
I am not feeling well at all and here is where I am at now and these are and have been my symptoms along...
Lower right ab fullness,hip burning, Bloating, I am taking Advil 2 every 6hrs. I find sitting uncomfortable , and hurt after getting up moving around. Always feel best in the morning or after a nap. IBS symptoms daily, not passing much rectal gas,pale skin,leg pain.Urine is dark then clear, sometimes I have to go often then sometimes I hardly go at all. Vaginal discharge like egg whites.
I am so sick and tired of begin sick and tired...
I am only 35 and I feel like the Doctors have been lying to me all along. I don't think the are telling the truth. I am very good at reading people and I just know that something is going on... I think something is showing up in my urine , blood and xray test... I cry myself to sleep every night and waking up is worse...it's like a night mare but then you wake up and it true !!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband goes to every app with me and hears the Dr that this test is good and that test is good but then see's me in pain . He don't think the Dr is lying to me but I do. .........................I don't know what will happen when we get the results of this ultrasound but I have a very bad feeling about.............thanks for listening

I asked my Dr in April about CA-125 but he said it could give us false negaitve . I am so scared that I let myself go. I had symptoms for so long that I never thought was anything wrong . Over the past year I gained wait ,had IBS symptoms and had discomfort after eating meals and sitting. I am so upset with myself . I feel like things aren't happening fast enough an am I doing enough.

The three tests that help identify the possibility of ovarian cancer are the transvaginal ultrasound, the CA 125, and an abdominal CT scan. A biopsy of suspecious tissue is the only way to absolutely confirm ovarian cancer. In my case, the doctor felt an abdominal mass and ordered the CT first. It was very suggestive of ovarian cancer and I ended up with having stage IIIC disease. The CA 125 does give a lot of false positives especially if the numbers are high but not that high and it may likely be that yours could now be elevated because of the inflamation in your body from other things.
Can you try calling your doctor (or nurse) stating that you are concerned about ovarian cancer and would like the tests that we have suggested? Having said all this, ovarian cancer is relatively rare and it may be that your symptoms are from something else. Best wishes, Janet

I am going to go ahead with the pelvic ultrasound on friday and see what the results say. I am worried if I ask for it to be changed now I may have to wait another month. This has already happen to me bc I was originaly set up for renal,liver gallblabber from the ER Dr and my family doc changed it to this one. So maybe he thinks it's my kindey ??
I am not sure how long it will take to get back my results from this but I will be asking my doc for the CA-125 blood test when I go back for my results.
Here are a couple question I have been wondering about???
wondered if anyone else finds driving in a car very uncomfortable.?? and if so why
Does anyone feel there bloating goes down a bit or has less pressure after sleeping at night or laying down ?
thanks for your replies they mean a lot to me now as I feel so alone with this. THANK YOU

Your pain may be due to not being able to pass gas or have a bowel movement. I know that worrying gets me all worked up and I see/feel the symptoms. Egg white discharge and stringy is ovulation. I am 39 and just found out that I am in perimenopause. I have severe pain in my left side and was afraid of ovarian cancer, but could be that it's when the egg moves. I don't know. I have had cervical dysplasia really bad..but that was found during a pap. An internal ultrasound ...or even external would be able to tell if something is wrong. You are getting all the right tests done. It's very easy to get scared, I know.

Britney Spears Really Collaborating With Gucci Mane On a Track?
"Gucci Mane has confirmed to sources that he's throwing down a few lines for Britney Spears' new album," writes Perez Hilton, who adds, "The pair are set to meet next week in an Atlanta studio to record a track called Hit."
Perez goes on to note, "Gucci insisted that Britney was a fan of his music for years and her adoration is what persuaded him to record a song with her."
The blogger, who doesn't bother to fact-check, is once again regurgitating bad dish from hacks and amateurs at other wannabe entertainment sites.
Gossip Cop, however, has learned directly from Spears' manager that there is "no shot" of a collaboration.

College Hockey:Buckeyes bombard Chargers early, dominate throughout in 6-2 victory
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State Buckeyes started dominantly Friday against the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers, winning 6-2 victory as they got the game's first 11 shots on goal. The Buckeyes only had one win in their previous five games.
"We told them since day one you are going to have to take a lot of baby steps and you are going to go through growing pains," Ohio State head coach Mark Osiecki said. "This is just another step for us and this certainly alleviates guys grabbing their stick a bit tight. And that is one thing I talked about going into the game, 'Let's just go out and play hard for each other.'"
"When you don't make a conscious decision from the drop of the puck to compete, we knew from a just a little bit of reviewing a little bit of game tape that we knew they play hard," Chargers head coach Chris Luongo said.
The Buckeyes scored the game's first goal 2:10 into the first as Sergio Somma floated a backhanded wrist-shot past the glove of Alabama-Huntsville goalie Clarke Saunders after he corralled a rebound from a C.J. Severyn shot.
Several minutes later, Kris Reed sent forward Sebastian Geoffrion into the Chargers' bench with a check. Forward Justin Cseter retaliated against Reed and was called for a roughing call. On the delayed whistle, Geoffrion was charged with a hook. The two calls gave the Buckeyes a 5-on-3 power play for two minutes. Ohio State only needed 42 seconds to convert. Danny Dries sent a shot past the glove of Saunders from a rebound off a Shane Sims shot.
OSU outshot UAH 18-5 in the first period and the Chargers only had several scoring chances in the opening frame.
Despite being outshot and out-chanced in the first two periods, the Chargers got the game within one when UAH forward Jamie Easton beat Buckeyes' goalie Cal Heeter to make the score 2-1. Heeter was way out of position and Easton's shot was a simple backhander into the wide-open net with 7:11 left in the second.
Ohio State came firing to start the third. Ohio State forward Peter Boyd scored on yet another rebound off Saunders on a Dries shot with a loose puck in the crease to put Ohio State up 3-1 1:12 into the third. The Buckeyes scored 2:13 later when forward Alex Lippincott scored on a wraparound under the stick of Saunders to put OSU up 4-1.
"We have to stick with what has been working with us," Osiecki said. "By that, we still wanted to take care of the puck at the blue-lines. That has been a constant theme for us. At times you saw it in the first period where we turned the puck over, made it really difficult for our forwards to track down."
The Chargers had an answer for Lippincott's goal. While on a power play, defenseman Tom Durnie's shot went off Boyd and over the glove of Heeter to make it a 4-2 game with 14:42 remaining in the game.
Ohio State answered less than 5:08 later. Following a roughing drawn by Dries on Keenan Desmet, Boyd scored his second of the period while on the power play with a slapper past Saunders' glove to put the Buckeyes up 5-2.
Dries got his fourth point of the game when he made a nifty past to his left to Alex Szczechura to beat the glove of Saunders at 13:09 of the third to give Ohio State a 6-2 lead. The goal was Szczechura's first of his collegiate career.
"Sporadic effort doesn't usually pay off," Luongo said. "I don't know if it is a preparation thing but what needs to get them in the right frame of mind? It is awfully hard when you let a team generate momentum and confidence to turn that back and we did get some sporadic effort in the second. Once again, that is never enough."
The line of Szczechura, Boyd, and Dries combined for nine points in Friday's match.
"We did a pretty good job tonight, we still have stuff to prove but overall it was a pretty good effort by the three of us," Boyd said. "I was pretty happy with that."
"Alex (Szczechura) hasn't been on the score-sheet but he has been doing everything from a team standpoint from day one," Osiecki said. "He leads the team in hits. Fortunately for him, tonight he was rewarded. It got the monkey off his back."
Heeter's job in net was easy stopping 13-of-15 shots against. Saunders had a tougher go with stopping 35 shots on 41 against.
Alabama-Huntsville had two late misconduct penalties by sophomores Desmet and Geoffrion in the last half of the third period.
"Everyone is frustrated and (the misconducts) end up being an easy way out to do that," Luongo said. "They have been told that is unacceptable. That is what we are not about. Not to mention when you're losing a game like that, there is no place for it."
Ohio State has a goal differential of plus five this season despite holding a 3-5 overall record. The Chargers drop to 1-7-1 on the season and have a seven game winless streak.

It is now known that the papaya fruit is an excellent source of dietary fiber, folate, vitamin A, C and E and also contains small amount of calcium, iron, riboflavin, thiamine and niacin as well as being rich in antioxidant nutrients, flavonoids and carotenes, plus it's low in calories and sodium.
But, beyond the fruit, did you know that the whole papaya plant is usable. Papaya can be used as a food, a cooking aid, and in medicine. The black seeds are edible and have a sharp, spicy taste and have been used as a substitute for black pepper, plus the roots are also used to make salt. In some parts of Asia, the young leaves of papaya are steamed and eaten like spinach and in some parts of the world, papaya leaves are made into tea as a preventative for malaria. The stem and bark are also used in rope production.
Papaya is mostly marketed in tablet form to remedy digestive problems and is cultivated for its milky juice or latex (obtained from the fruit), which is the source of the proteolytic enzyme papain., but papain is also applied topically (in countries where it grows) for the treatment of cuts, rashes, stings and burns. Papain ointment is commonly made from fermented papaya flesh, and is applied as a gel-like paste.
Papaya leaf, latex, and fruit contain several digestive enzymes, which
account for the herb's action as a digestive aid and its ability to
tenderize, that is, predigest meat. The latex contains the most enzymes,
followed by the leaves, and lastly the fruit, though the fruit still
contains enough to aid digestion. The most important digestive enzyme in
papaya is papain, similar to the human digestive enzyme pepsin, which
helps break down proteins. In fact, papain is sometime called vegetable
pepsin. The herb's other enzymes include one similar to human rennin,
which breaks down milk proteins, and another similar topectase, which
helps digest starches.
The effectiveness of the papaya as a medicinal herb has been known since the 1750's but it wasn't until the 1870's that its source of enzymes were recognized. Papain is by far the most widely studied enzyme of the papaya and has been used for wounds in hospitals, clotting milk, for contraception and abortion and as treatment for all kinds of digestive problems.
"Women in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and other countries
have long used green papaya as a remedy for contraception and abortion.
Enslaved women in the West Indies were noted for consuming papaya to
prevent pregnancies and thus preventing their children from being born
into slavery. Medical research in animals has confirmed the
contraceptive and
abortifacient capability of papaya, and also found that papaya seeds
have contraceptive effects in adult male langur monkeys, and possibly in
adult male humans, as well.
Ripe papaya is not teratogenic and will not cause miscarriage in small
amounts but the Phytochemicals in papaya may suppress the effects of
In tropical folk medicine, the fresh latex is smeared on boils, warts and freckles and given as a vermifuge. A root decoction is claimed to expel roundworms. The leaf also functions as a primitive soap substitute in laundering. Dried leaves have been smoked to relieve asthma or as a tobacco substitute. The sap is used topically to cure inflammation and itchy skin. It is used to clarify beer, also to treat wool and silk before dyeing, to de-hair hides before tanning, and it serves as an adjunct in rubber manufacturing. You can find it in toothpastes, cosmetics and detergents, as well as many pharmaceutical preparations to aid in digestion.
But, to support digestive health, eat up and drink up! ~Place a teaspoon or so of papaya leaf in cup of boiling water. Allow to steep 3-5 minutes. Strain, serve, and enjoy. Steep time and amount of tea used can be adjusted to suit your taste.

Cru Cellars Blogger Dinner #CruKitchen
My interest in wine has grown greatly since the beginning of Carlos Eats. Wine is such an important part of the food industry and learning about the pairing throughout many events has increased my appreciation for sommeliers and wine culture. Last Wednesday I dined at Cru Cellars for a blogger dinner they invited me to. It was not the first time I heard of Cru Cellars, but I jumped at the opportunity after hearing favorable things from other local foodies in Tampa Bay. I was joined by Tampa Wine Woman, Family Foodie, and Tasting Tampa.
We were presented with a 5-course meal created by Chef Josh Burton. Live music was arranged with dim-lighting to set the mood for us. The first part of the meal was a cheese plate and consisted of jasper cheddar and St. Agur blue cheeses serve with jam and toasted crostinis.
I really loved these two chesse choices and the jam was excellent! The wine pairing choice was Domaine Giachino Alteste, Roussette de Savoie, France. A fine paring to start the night off and what really defined the great experience at Cru Cellars: excellent wine pairings.
The next course featured a roasted garlic Hummus with feta on fresh crostini and a roasted mushroom ruschetta with shaved parmesan.
I loved the hummus. It hit the palate just right and the mushrooms were amazing. I love mushrooms, but there have been times when mushrooms have been underwhelming, not true here though. I could have had a huge jar filled with those mushrooms and been happy. The wine pairing for this course was Paul Bouchard Macon, Chardonnay, France.
This course had an excellent roasted bone marrow with roasted garlic topped with a salad of fresh parsley, capers, shallots, and lemon juice and toasted crostini. It was my first time having bone marrow and this was a great introduction. It was finger-licking good. The salad that accompanied it was also great. The salad consisted of roasted beer, goat cheese, and arugula salad with crispy prosciutto, fresh dill, toasted pumpkin seeds, orange segments, and balsamic reduction. A delicious mixture that made me love beets (normally I cannot stand beets). The wine pairing was Provenza Gropello, Garda, Italy.
We then moved on to the third course which was a roasted mushroom orzo featuring roasted grape tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Once again the mushrooms left me very impressed. The steak, eggs, and polenta that came with it was excellent. It was a pan seared skirt steak and came topped with fresh parsley and basil chimichurri. The wine pairing was Baileyanna Pinot Noir, Edna Valley, California.
After finishing this plate we were surprised and delighted to learn that dessert would be on the way. This dessert would be something special.
Crème brûlée was the dessert of the evening and my favorite part of the meal. The dessert was light and did not have that strong sugary taste that crème brûlée often features. Every last bite was enjoyable and I have raved to family and friends everyday since I tried this dessert at Cru Cellars. The wine pairing of Heinz Eifel Beerenausleseas (thanks Family Foodie!) was equally enjoyable and I hope to have this wine in my home soon!
Dessert left a strong impression and brought an end to one delicious blogger dinner at Cru Cellars. Lucky for you – I have been provided a $25 Cru Cellars gift card to giveaway here on Carlos Eats. The contest will run until May 4th and you can enter in the box below. Thank you to Cru Cellars for the excellent dinner and I look forward to my next visit for some great food and wine.
