Pull bread into small cubes and place in a small mixing bowl with the onion, celery, sauerkraut, thyme, sage, shoyu, Edensoy and half the mochi. Mix well. Oil the bottom of the mushroom caps. Stuff each mushroom. Sprinkle the remaining mochi on top of the stuffing. Grill on the upper rack of a grill for 10 to 15 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender, stuffing is hot and the mochi has melted. Move to the lower grill and brown for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and serve.
Note: The caps can be baked on an oiled baking sheet for 20 to 25 minutes at 400° and then broiled for 5 minutes to brown instead of grilling.

Same problem here, no advice anybody? :/
Hey all,
I was checking out this thread on BackTrack 5 and BCM43224 chipsets working on a MacBook Pro. My MacBook is one of the newest generations - the 8,1 with the i7 Sandy Bridge processors. As far as I'm aware they also use an updated wireless card (for a start it has 3 antennas and not two like the pervious generations).
It's firmware version is showing up as Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 184.108.40.206.3 supporting a/b/g/n but BackTrack 5 doesn't appear to recognise the card at all. iw and ifconfig yield nothing. Wicd doesn't show any networks or interfaces either.
Have I missed anything when it comes to configuring the card or is it just not compatible with BackTrack?
Intel Core i7 965 Extreme 3.2GHz @ 4.2GHz
Custom Water Cooling
Intel 80GB X25-M SSD
6GB Corsair Dominator 1.6GHz
ATi Radeon 4870X2
Same problem here, no advice anybody? :/
I'm having the same problem with the MacBook Pro 8,2 (first Thunderbolt model, 2011). The AirPort Extreme wireless card is listed as having firmware version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 220.127.116.11.5. It supports 802.11 a/b/g/n as well. Running ifconfig yields no wireless devices. Running lsmod shows b43 right at the top. Odd? I've had a wonderful experience with the b43 drivers on my Dell Mini 9.
Any news on this MacBook Pro issue? Thanks for any replies.
I wanted to add this next little bit just in case someone else is able to find this post through a google search.I got past the white screen of death by using the advice here. If you're using a MacBook Pro with an ATI/AMD graphics card check this post for the answer.
First post!
any update on this?
Hello BackTrack Community,
I have the same issue here and I was searching a lot about this topic since the wireless card is not supported in other Linux-Distros that I've tried as well.
I'll be looking some more for a possible solution and post my findings here (if any).
If someone more experienced than I am could look for a solution I would really appreciate it.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/4/2013 (1584 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE Winnipeg Blue Bombers will announce a loss of just under $800,000 for their 2012 fiscal year.
The club will release its annual report today and a board source says it will include a loss in the neighbourhood of $780,000.
Construction delays at the club's new stadium, Investors Group Field, forced the Bombers to play an unexpected extra season in 2012 at Canad Inns Stadium. That forced the organization to spend money on operations at two facilities while only taking in revenue from one -- and the predictable result was the bottom line paid the price.
The product on the field in 2012 was also inferior. The club went 6-12 during the regular season and missed the playoffs for the third time in four years. That also hurt the bottom line.
The Bombers sold out Canad Inns Stadium four times in 2012 and in the end averaged 27,981 fans over nine regular-season home games, down an average of 1,576 per game from 2011.
Still, it was the team's problems off the field -- not on it -- that hurt the Bombers most in 2012.
While the club refused Monday to make anyone available to discuss the financial loss in 2012 -- a news conference is scheduled for this afternoon, followed by the club's annual Fan Forum this evening -- chief operating officer Jim Bell told the Free Press late last year that football actually turned a profit in 2012.
"I'm very confident in telling you we will be in the black in normal operations," Bell told the Free Press in late November.
The problem, alas, was everything else, Bell said at the time. "We have expenses related to stadium development that fall outside normal operations and I'm not sure where those will end up," Bell continued.
"But put it this way: If we do end up below the line, it's not going to be in the red to the extent some people might think it would be, given the year we had relative to the year before...
"It's going to bring down our bottom line. It's just still a question of whether it puts us in the red or not."
The Bombers recorded a record $3-million profit on normal operations in a 2011 season that saw the team make it all the way to the Grey Cup game before falling to the B.C. Lions.
While a loss of about $800,000 in 2012 is significant -- and significantly larger than the negligible loss Bell seemed to be predicting to the Free Press late last year -- it is almost imperceptible in the bigger picture of a team moving this season into a new stadium worth just less than $200 million.
The revenue-generating capabilities of the new stadium were again on display Monday as the club announced a Paul McCartney concert for Investors Group Field for Aug. 12, the second major concert for the new stadium this summer. The first concert, Taylor Swift appearing June 22, sold out in hours when tickets went on sale late last year.
It's still unclear how much revenue concerts at the new stadium will generate for the Bombers' coffers, but the team made between $400,000 and $500,000 from its involvement in the U2 concert at Canad Inns Stadium in 2011.

In order to put backtrack on the iPhone, it would first need openiboot, in order to boot into a linux OS. Currently only the iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1st, and 2nd Gen have supported OpeniBoot. Everything else is completely experimental. If you're interested, you can visit
Basically, OpeniBoot was developed when people were putting Android on iPhone hardware. Once OpeniBoot is supported on a device, then the Backtrack image could be tweaked to be installed on there.
Also, there is a way with a jailbroken iPhone to SSH into your backtrack computer, if that's what you were implying for taking backtrack with you...otherwise, you can install metasploit and nmap and other tools on a jailbroken iPhone just by itself and run them in terminal emulator, except not a whole lot is supported.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The hostel is colorful, staffed by friendly and helpful folks, and located near lots of cafes/bars/restaurants and a big park. It's necessary to travel by tram to the old part of the city but it's easy to do.
Hostel is located in a trendy neighbourhood of Neustadt, lots of bars and pubs, near tram line going to the historic centre and Neustadt train station is only short walk away Wifi worked on and off, we had to pay extra for sheets and duvet covers
Low value for money
New facility with great view of city the breakfast could have been better
I do like the location of the hostel and also nice and helpful staffs.
Close to the train station The bed sheet is a bit thin.
location is good for this price, room is ok . Aldi is next door wifi is not free.
24h reception, good service, nice location. Young guests producing some noise.
Reasonably near to the city centre and to the main station.
Very basic accomodation- no desk and only a collapsable hard chair- but clean and a good breakfast..
Very convenient location. PLeasant and helpful staff. INexpensive wireless.
We really appreciated your receptionist recommending the Tuscani restraunt. The food was delicious and inexpensive.
Beside the buzzing Neustadt 'triangle'-great Jazz club and other cool bars nearby. Bar/Cafe/Internet downstairs closes relatively early for Continental Europe.Internet is expensive.
We just stayed one night at Hostel Mondpalast but the most important value for us was the location. If you want to visit whole city, the location of hostel is perfect. But I would not recommend this hostel to families with small childrens.
We really appreciated your receptionist recommending the Tuscani restraunt. The food was delicious and inexpensive.
the staffs are kind and warm-hearted. The location is not conveniet, not easy to find. Neither near the new station nor the old station, so we have to take a tram and walk with our luggages a long way. The room and toilet were not clean enough. Very noisy in the night because of the bars around.
Authentic, good placed, clean room and loos, willing staff, rich breakfest.
Beside the buzzing Neustadt 'triangle'-great Jazz club and other cool bars nearby. Bar/Cafe/Internet downstairs closes relatively early for Continental Europe.Internet is expensive.
Friendly staff. It's above a bar and just be aware that there's music played until late, bring earplugs. Stairs only to rooms.
Very spacious and well decorated fresh rooms. Good location, easy tram ride (number 8) to the main train station and city. Nice restaurant below the hostel with great food and service. Weak Wi-f iconnection in the private double rooms (we were anable to access the network from our room). Your room rate is that only, and you are required to pay for anything extra even in the private rooms, including linen, internet and breakfast.
Internet 2 euro/24 hr is reasonable price. Location is easy to get to old town by tram. The shared bath ratio 3 to 1 is kind of tight.
Everything was clean, and it was a nice room in a animated part of the newtown of Dresde. We were in the new building, so I can't say anything about the old building. There was a pub just down the window, but that was not as terrible as we expected, we could sleep perfectly. It's situated were all the young people of Dresde enjoys drinking beers and talking, and maybe it could be a problem if travelling with children or so...
The receptionist (girl) was very kind, helpful even that we arrived late at night. Very quiet surroundings and good sleep. The check out is at 10 am and at 9 came a cleaner to clean bathrooms so we were in a limbo ending up searching for other bathrooms at the other floors.
Hungarian speaking receptionist, nice and tidy rooms, location, good breakfast. The car had to park on the street, there wasn't any closed parking area. However this is written on the website, but still:)

LAKE CITY, Fla. - The Columbia County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about a phone scam happening throughout Florida.
The sheriff's office said the scam has been mainly seen in south Florida, but it's now moving north.
Officials say the scammers frequently identify themselves as employees of Florida Power and Light. They advise the customer their bill is past due and service will be cut immediately.
The scammers will then get victims to give personal information over the phone and tell them to purchase a prepaid credit card which will be used to pay the bill.
The sheriff's office says it is just one of many scams.
Officers advise residents to report all suspicious incidents, and to never give out personal information over the phone.
FPL says the company never has a live agent contact customers in this manner, and that they use an automated system or mail.
FPL is giving customers advice if they receive one of these phone calls:
- Notify local law enforcement immediately
- Contact FPL at the number listed at the bottom of their bill or at FPL.com/contactus
- Report the incident to either the Florida Department of Agriculture or Consumer Services at 1-800-435-7352, or go to the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force at stopfraud.gov

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Kackar TV dated October 6, 2010
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We will not let the wage of good-doers go to waste. (Surat al-Kahf, 30)
The "good-doers." We must notice this language in the Qur'an. Abjad calculation gives the year 2062. A time when Islam will literally rule the world. A magnificent period that nobody can deny.
They will have Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them. They will be adorned in them with bracelets made of gold and wear green garments made of the finest silk and rich brocade, reclining there on couches under canopies. What an excellent reward! What a wonderful repose! (Surat al-Kahf, 31)
This refers to Paradise. Human beings have a predisposition to love gold. It refers to silk, but the finest silk is preferable. It speaks of brocade, but the rich brocade is best, it literally hypnotizes people. Green is one of the colors that human beings like best. Allah has covered the Earth in green. The Earth looks all green when seen from a distance. Human nature desires couches and canopies to recline against. People want to sit down and rest their backs. People who go to Paradise will see couches there. And they will rush to recline on them. But unless they know the fatigue of this world they may never appreciate this blessing. They will not want to sleep during their first 24 hours in Paradise. Nor will sleep come in their second 24 hours. For example, there are cats and dogs in this world, but one cannot love them as one wants. You cannot kiss them on the lips for example, but the cats in Paradise are spotlessly clean, and very intelligent, they know all about love.

Manchester Phoenix sledge hockey team made their debut at the Dome on Saturday with games against Peterborough Phantoms and Kingston Kestrels.
Phoenix will be joining the British Sledge Hockey League next season and the games were to gauge the development of the team and to introduce a dimension of hockey new to many fans.
Phoenix iced for the first time against a game Phantoms team. Dan Breen in goal kept the eager Manchester outfit at bay on numerous occasions but a hat trick from GB player Karl Nicholson gave the delighted home team a 5-1 win.
The newly-crowned sledge hockey league champions Kingston Kestrels also proved too strong for the Phantoms outfit in the second game and ran out convincing winners by 13-1. Huge credit was due to the relatively inexperienced Peterborough team who fought bravely for the whole 30 minutes.
The final game of the day saw the home side take on the best team in the country and despite a 5-1 defeat, Phoenix showed plenty of promise and enterprise.
Three goals from Matt Clarkson and one each from Berry and Warner completed the Kestrels' scoring. However the biggest cheer of the night came when Karl Nicholson scored the home goal.
Phoenix coach Pete Hagan said after the games: "I am really happy with the way the team performed today. We have only been together for 12 weeks and some players started from scratch. A huge thanks to everybody who played or helped with the organisation of the day. The future of sledge hockey in Manchester looks bright."
Great Britain player and three-time Paralympic competitor Karl Nicholson said: "Today was a good day for everybody involved in the Phoenix Organisation. We only came together three months ago and the progress made is astonishing. The Kestrels have been together for more than 20 years and I think we acquitted ourselves very well in that game. They are deserved league champions but Phoenix have definitely designs on the title soon."

Home prices up in big U.S. cities
Published 7:29 pm, Wednesday, December 26, 2012
WASHINGTON — U.S. home prices rose in most major cities in October compared with a year ago, pushed up by rising sales and a decline in the supply of available homes. Higher prices show the housing market is improving even as it moves into the more dormant fall and winter sales period.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller national home price index released Wednesday increased 4.3 percent in October compared with a year ago.
That's the largest year-over-year increase in 21/2 years, when a homebuyer tax credit temporarily boosted sales.
Prices rose in October from a year ago in 18 of 20 cities. Phoenix led all cities with a 21.7 percent gain, followed by Detroit, where prices increased 10 percent. Prices declined in Chicago and New York. Dallas, the only Texas city on the list, increased 4.6 percent, according to the index.
Home prices fell in 12 of 20 cities in October compared with September. Monthly prices are not seasonally adjusted so the decreases reflect the end of the peak buying season.
News Channel
Still, the broader trend is encouraging. October marked the fifth consecutive month of year-over-year gains, after nearly two years of declines. Prices rose in mid-2010 in the final months before the tax credit expired. They had fallen sharply in 2008 and 2009.

Corbett denies political motivation spurred NCAA lawsuit
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett is fending off criticism that his lawsuit against the NCAA was filed for political reasons.
The governor is suing the governing body for collegiate athletics over the sanctions it placed on Penn State's football program in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Corbett maintains he didn't object to the penalties when they were handed down over the summer because he didn't realize the NCAA had violated its own rules.
He insisted Friday that he would not have filed the lawsuit if he didn't think he had a legitimate case.
"It's not going to be an easy one to win," he acknowledged. "But I believe it's in the best interests of the citizens of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania who are being harmed by this, particularly those up in the State College area, the Centre County area.
Between the original sanctions and the lawsuit just filed, however, Pennsylvania voters and candidates in last year's attorney general race started questioning Corbett's role in the Sandusky investigation.
"By the fall there was no doubt that the voters of this state -- and that was a poll of registered voters -- had indicated their unhappiness with the way the investigation was handled," explains Franklin & Marshall College pollster Terry Madonna.
Madonna says the lawsuit could serve as a distraction from any ensuing investigation into how Corbett handled the Sandusky case while he was attorney general
Democratic Attorney General-elect Kathleen Kane has promised she'll look into whether the prosecution was dragged out on purpose.
The same Franklin & Marshall survey showing that only 17 percent of polled voters thought Corbett did a good job investigating Sandusky while he was attorney general also showed that 54 percent of polled voters thought the NCAA sanctions were unfair.

There are lots of ways to arrive at the Monaco Yacht Show, some more stylish than others. The airport bus is quick, efficient, and air conditioned, but perhaps a little humdrum for a man who wishes to be taken seriously on the quayside at Port Hercule. People often overlook the train, but the views are spectacular, and it's by far the fastest way if you're staying in a pretty coastal resort like Menton, rather than among the high-rises of Monaco itself. A limousine can whisk you to the show in dignified silence—a silence destined to be broken by your driver apologizing about the traffic once you get to the edge of town.
High-rollers flying into Nice, France invariably take the helicopter from the airport, which promises to provide the most noticeable arrival at the show—guaranteed to impress until you find that it lands not in the heart of Monaco, but next door to the show at Fontvieille, where you must hail a taxi and join all the other disillusioned big shots fuming in the gridlock.
I've tried them all, but this year I found the ultimate mode of boat-show transport: quick, luxurious, exclusive, and guaranteed to create a stir on arrival. I joined the CNM Continental 80 down the coast at Beaulieu-sur-Mer, France, with two objects in mind: a thorough sea trial of this sleek machine from a new Italian yard, followed by a comfortable, traffic-free ride into Monaco.
Cantieri Navali del Mediterraneo (CNM) hails from the River Tiber just downstream of Rome and was set up in the old Itama shipyard (Itama having moved since its acquisition by the Ferretti Group) by property developer Salvatore d'Agostino. Mario Amati, the founder of Itama, has been retained by the new yard as a consultant, and an experienced team of designers and engineers was hired to create a new range of boats, of which the Continental is just the first.
She is an imposing vessel, with a great-looking, curved sheer, a vast foredeck, and a hunched superstructure aft that imparts a muscular, coiled-spring look. A family resemblance to the bigger boats of the Baia range is no coincidence; both marques were designed by naval architect Alberto Ascenzi of Genoa University. And CNM is not just capitalizing on the boom enjoyed by other Italian shipyards. It has set out to create a highly engineered, semicustom yacht at the top end of the market, and one feature in particular—the "floating floor" that rests on an insulated aluminum frame—is a big-yacht sound- and vibration-damping system that is rare on a boat this size.
With low-volume production and high-end aspirations, CNM is happy to meet customers more than halfway when it comes to customizing. If you want the saloon TV concealed behind the sideboard on an electric elevator mount, that will be no problem. Different interior colors and finishes entail a simple consultation with the design team, although this yacht's combination of burgundy leather flooring, beech bulkheads, and cream lacquers trod a pretty sure-footed line between opulent and comfortable. I felt that at 21½ inches, the guardrails were on the low side, but the yard can make them taller. All you have to do is ask.
The Continental's below-decks layout is unusual for a vessel of this size in having the owner's suite in the forepeak, with its double berth slightly offset to starboard. Here as elsewhere a lot of thought has clearly gone into providing adequate stowage for a cruising couple, with two big hanging lockers on each side and plenty of drawers. Just as you're approving of this arrangement but wondering where the designers have hidden the head, you find it through that door leading forward into the bow. Although up here the pointed end is getting very pointed, particularly at the waterline, there is still plenty of space to make the most of a full-beam, V-shape head, with a toilet and bidet, his-and-her sinks, and a big shower compartment with a glass front. A porthole on each side and an overhead hatch let in plenty of daylight, making an already generously proportioned area seem even bigger. I haven't seen a better owner's head on an 80-foot open.
Down, aft, and occupying only half the beam (the large, well-fitted-out galley takes up the other half), the VIP is still a good-size suite, with a berth the same size as the owner's and almost as much stowage. The two guest cabins lie amidships, a twin to port and a single to starboard, although some 3'6" across, the single berth could suit a couple as long as they're thin or recently engaged, or preferably both. All are served by en suite heads.
There is no saloon down here, which is why the cabins are so generously proportioned, but the designers have made up for it on the main deck. The saloon up here and everything about it is vast. The sideboard to starboard is as large as anything you'd put in your house, and the cabinets across the front are big enough to accommodate an air handler, 'fridge, and ice maker, as well as a substantial cocktail cabinet and additional stowage space. With a table measuring 6'8" x 3'9", you could host ping-pong tournaments. There's plenty of room for spectators in the cockpit.
Even with all of these attributes, this first yacht has shown up several things that CNM will be doing differently next time. The gensets, somewhat inaccessibe outboard of the engines, will be shifted. Less straightforward, but still something the yard is determined to follow through on, is improving visibility from the helm, particularly to starboard. This will involve retooling the superstructure moldings to incorporate more glass above the main side windows, while the windscreen is being redesigned as a two-piece with just a single, central support. Also, a window will be added to the starboard side door.
All of which will help a lot, for visibility was the only issue that came up once we got underway. Everything else was just fine. The Continental is above all a performance machine, with twin 1,825-hp Caterpillar C32s bellowing away underfoot, driving surface-piercing props on big Arnesons. Considering she displaced something like 50 tons all up on the day of our test, I never expected acceleration to be anything to write home about. But once the engine-management computers and five-blade Rolla props realized they were playing on the same team, the big yacht's performance and handling were everything you could wish for: sure-footed in tight turns, with a good range of cruising speeds from the low 20s all the way up, an impressive top speed of more than 40 knots, and a firm but not hard, upwind ride. Drive trim was not an issue—the "zero" setting proved perfectly adequate for most situations—and throttle and helm responses were light and intuitive.
It's not often that you can describe an 80-footer as a driver's machine, but that's how it felt as the headlands of the Cte d'Azur flashed past to port and the Continental carved a dashing white arrow across the light Mediterranean swell. It was positively liberating. Slowing to glide through the superyachts anchored off Monaco, I reflected that it was a hell of a lot more fun than sitting in traffic.

POLICE are warning car dealers in Blackburn and Accrington to be vigilant after a spate of car thefts.
Five vehicles have been stolen in the past five weeks after people have posed as prospective customers and driven off in the cars during a 'test drive'.
This has happened in Blackburn and Accrington, with people targeting both main dealers and smaller car sales outlets.
Sgt Tim McDermott said: "I would urge businesses to be vigilant and not leave prospective customers unaccompanied with the keys to cars either on the forecourt or on test drives.
"If any businesses have people approach them that they are suspicious of in this way, please call police while they are still present.
"The cars targeted are not only high value cars but also older vehicles, which we believe could be used in future criminal acts."
On November 7, a silver VW Golf was stolen by a man from Witton Car Sales on Wensley Road in Blackburn during a test drive. Two days later a Grey Audi A3 was stolen in the same way from Daisyfield Cars on Fort Street in Blackburn.
On November 23, a black BMW X5 was stolen from SL Motor Cars on Cicely Lane in Blackburn. On December 5 a blue BMW 318i was stolen from North Motors on Whalley New Road, Blackburn.
And on December 9 a man stole a silver VW Passat estate from Britannia Car Sales on Blackburn Road in Oswaldtwistle, Accrington.

One reason solid wood is praised for its ability to last for generations is that is can be resanded or refinished if it starts to show scratches and wear. Furniture with thin wood veneers cannot be sanded or finished without damaging and exposing the substrate of wood solids underneath. While furniture with thin wood or plastic veneers is definitely cheaper short-term, the step down in quality will end up costing more in the long run when your furniture needs to be replaced every few years. This piece of furniture isn't the easiest to move from one place to another, but if you intend to stay in one home for a long time, this furniture is definitely heavier and hardier than the rest.
Fine furniture should make a statement, a lasting first impression that speaks volumes about your family home. The Hadleigh collection is an exceptional example - its heirloom styling and quality makes for furniture that can be in your family for generations. Once you've put down roots in your dream home, you can finally invest in pieces like a solid wood bedroom set or traditionally-carved, solid wood dining set. Hadleigh brings you a multitude of richly styled pieces for the bedroom and dining room, all crafted from solid, wild black cherry wood. Inspired styling from the 18th century and beyond can be seen throughout the collection, from the gorgeous, carved pediments on the rice-carved poster bed to the brushed gold, bail pull hardware. Fresh updates like whisper soft-close drawers and an upholstered bed with nailheads make Hadleigh a look that both traditionalists and fashionistas can love.
The Hadleigh collection is a great option if you are looking for Traditional furniture in the Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland and Fairfax VA area.

This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Childhood soft tissue sarcoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in soft tissues of the body.
Soft tissues of the body connect, support, and surround other body parts and organs. The soft tissues include the following:
Soft tissue sarcoma may be found anywhere in the body. In children, the tumors form most often in the arms, legs, or trunk (chest and abdomen).Soft tissue sarcoma forms in soft tissues of the body, including muscle, tendons, fat, blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves, and tissue around joints.
There are many different types of soft tissue sarcomas.
The cells of each type of sarcoma look different under a microscope. The soft tissue tumors are grouped based on the type of soft tissue cell where they first formed.
This summary is about the following types of soft tissue sarcoma:
Fat tissue tumors
Bone and cartilage tumors
Bone and cartilage tumors are a mix of bone cells and cartilage cells. Bone and cartilage tumors include the following types:
Fibrous (connective) tissue tumors
Fibrous (connective) tissue tumors include the following types:
Desmoid tumors sometimes occur in children with changes in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Changes in this gene cause familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is an inherited condition in which many polyps (growths on mucous membranes) form on the inside walls of the colon and rectum. Genetic counseling (a discussion with a trained professional about inherited diseases and a possible need for gene testing) may be needed.
There are two types of fibrosarcoma in children and adolescents:
Skeletal muscle tumors
Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and helps the body move.
Smooth muscle tumors
Smooth muscle lines the inside of blood vessels and hollow internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, bladder, and uterus.
So-called fibrohistiocytic tumors
So-called fibrohistiocytic tumors include the following types:
Peripheral nervous system tumors
Tumors of unknown origin
Tumors of unknown origin (the place where the tumor first formed is not known) include the following types:
Blood vessel tumors
Blood vessel tumors include the following types:
See the following PDQ summaries for information about types of soft tissue sarcoma not included in this summary:
Soft tissue sarcoma occurs in children and adults.
Soft tissue sarcoma in children may respond differently to treatment, and may have a better prognosis than soft tissue sarcoma in adults. (See the PDQ summary on Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma Treatment for more information on treatment in adults.)
Having certain diseases and inherited disorders can increase the risk of childhood soft tissue sarcoma.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your child's doctor if you think your child may be at risk.
Risk factors for childhood soft tissue sarcoma include having the following inherited disorders:
Other risk factors include the following:
The most common sign of childhood soft tissue sarcoma is a painless lump or swelling in soft tissues of the body.
A sarcoma may appear as a painless lump under the skin, often on an arm, a leg, or the trunk. There may be no other signs or symptoms at first. As the sarcoma gets bigger and presses on nearby organs, nerves, muscles, or blood vessels, it may cause signs or symptoms, such as pain or weakness.
Other conditions may cause the same signs and symptoms. Check with your child's doctor if your child has any of these problems.
Diagnostic tests and a biopsy are used to detect (find) and diagnose childhood soft tissue sarcoma.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
If these tests show there may be a soft tissue sarcoma, a biopsy is done. One of the following types of biopsies is usually used:
The placement of needles or incisions for the biopsy can affect the success of later surgery to remove the tumor. If possible, the surgeon who would remove the suspected tumor should be involved in planning the biopsy.
In order to plan the best treatment, the sample of tissue removed during the biopsy must be large enough to find out the type of soft tissue sarcoma and do other laboratory tests. Tissue samples will be taken from the primary tumor, lymph nodes, and other areas that may have a tumor. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells and to find out the type and grade of the tumor. The grade of a tumor depends on how abnormal the cancer cells look under a microscope and how quickly the cells are dividing. High-grade and mid-grade tumors usually grow and spread more quickly than low-grade tumors.
Because soft tissue sarcoma can be hard to diagnose, parents should ask to have the tissue sample checked by a pathologist who has experience in diagnosing soft tissue sarcoma.
One or more of the following laboratory tests may be done to study the tissue samples:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
After childhood soft tissue sarcoma has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body.
The process used to find out if cancer has spread within the soft tissue or to other parts of the body is called staging. There is no standard staging system for childhood soft tissue sarcoma. Two methods that are commonly used for staging are based on the following:
It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment.
The following procedure may be used in the staging process:
The results of tests and procedures and the initial surgery are used to find out the stage of the soft tissue sarcoma.
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
Cancer can spread through tissue, the lymph system, and the blood:
Cancer may spread from where it began to other parts of the body.
When cancer spreads to another part of the body, it is called metastasis. Cancer cells break away from where they began (the primary tumor) and travel through the lymph system or blood.
The metastatic tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if soft tissue sarcoma spreads to the lung, the cancer cells in the lung are soft tissue sarcoma cells. The disease is metastatic soft tissue sarcoma, not lung cancer.
One method used to stage childhood soft tissue sarcoma is based on how much cancer remains after surgery to remove the tumor and whether the cancer has spread:
Nonmetastatic childhood soft tissue sarcoma
In nonmetastatic childhood soft tissue sarcoma, the cancer has been partly or completely removed by surgery and has not spread to other parts of the body.
Metastatic childhood soft tissue sarcoma
Another method used to stage childhood soft tissue sarcoma is based on the size of the tumor and whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body.
This staging system is based on the following:
Pea, peanut, walnut, and lime show tumor sizes.
Stage I
Stage I is divided into stages IA and IB:
Stage II
Stage II is divided into stage IIA and stage IIB:
Stage III
In stage III, the tumor is either:
Stage IV
In stage IV, cancer has spread to distant parts of the body such as the lungs. The tumor is any grade or size, and may have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Recurrent childhood soft tissue sarcoma is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may come back in the same place or in other parts of the body.
Progressive childhood soft tissue sarcoma is cancer that did not respond to treatment.
There are different types of treatment for patients with childhood soft tissue sarcoma.
Different types of treatments are available for patients with childhood soft tissue sarcoma. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment.
Because cancer in children is rare, taking part in a clinical trial should be considered. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Children with childhood soft tissue sarcoma should have their treatment planned by a team of health care providers who are experts in treating cancer in children.
Treatment will be overseen by a pediatric oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating children with cancer. The pediatric oncologist works with other health care providers who are experts in treating children with soft tissue sarcoma and who specialize in certain areas of medicine. These may include a pediatric surgeon with special training in the removal of soft tissue sarcomas. The following specialists may also be included:
Some cancer treatments cause side effects months or years after treatment has ended.
Side effects from cancer treatment that begin during or after treatment and continue for months or years are called late effects. Late effects of cancer treatment may include:
Some late effects may be treated or controlled. It is important to talk with your child's doctors about the effects cancer treatment can have on your child. (See the PDQ summary on Late Effects of Treatment for Childhood Cancer for more information.)
Seven types of standard treatment are used:
Surgery to completely remove the soft tissue sarcoma is done when possible. If the tumor is very large, radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be given first, to make the tumor smaller and decrease the amount of tissue that needs to be removed during surgery.
The following types of surgery may be used:
A second surgery may be needed to:
If cancer is in the liver, a liver transplant may be done (the liver is removed and replaced with a healthy one from a donor).
Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, some patients may be given radiation therapy or chemotherapy after surgery to kill any cancer cells that are left. Treatment given after the surgery, to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called adjuvant therapy.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. In general, radiation therapy is given when the tumor is not completely removed by surgery or is likely to grow and spread quickly.
There are two types of radiation therapy:
The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). Combination chemotherapy is the use of more than one anticancer drug. The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Most types of soft tissue sarcoma do not respond to treatment with chemotherapy.
See Drugs Approved for Soft Tissue Sarcoma for more information.
Watchful waiting
Watchful waiting is closely monitoring a patient's condition without giving any treatment until signs or symptoms appear or change. Watchful waiting may be done when:
Hormone therapy
Hormone therapy is a cancer treatment that removes hormones or blocks their action and stops cancer cells from growing. Hormones are substances made by glands in the body and circulated in the bloodstream. Some hormones can cause certain cancers to grow. If tests show that the cancer cells have places where hormones can attach (receptors), drugs, surgery, or radiation therapy is used to reduce the production of hormones or block them from working. Antiestrogens (drugs that block estrogen) may be used to treat childhood soft tissue sarcoma.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are drugs (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen) that are commonly used to decrease fever, swelling, pain, and redness. In the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas, an NSAID called sulindac may be used to help block the growth of cancer cells.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to attack cancer cells. Targeted therapies usually cause less harm to normal cells than chemotherapy or radiation do.
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a type of targeted therapy that blocks signals needed for tumors to grow:
Other types of targeted therapy are being studied in clinical trials, including the following:
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI website.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your child's condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.

About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the treatment of childhood soft tissue sarcoma. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Pediatric Treatment Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's website. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Hefner solid in loss to Cardinals
Retires 13 of final 14 batters after allowing three early runs
ST. LOUIS -- Reporting to the Mets in such a hurry, new Mets outfielder Rick Ankiel arrived at Busch Stadium on Monday without a glove or cleats. He hastily borrowed pitcher Jon Niese's leather as he waited for his own gear to arrive from Houston.
Neither player could have imagined that the loaner would play such a starring role. With Scott Rice on the mound, Ty Wigginton's seventh-inning fly ball popped out of a diving Ankiel's glove, becoming the double that keyed St. Louis' winning rally in a 6-3 Mets defeat.
The Mets were stuck in a 3-3 tie when Wigginton lifted a one-out fly to shallow center, where Ankiel misread it off the bat and dove in an attempt to catch it. The ball landed squarely in his borrowed mitt, but squirted out as he hit the ground.
"I don't want to make excuses," Ankiel said. "I do think if I have my glove, it stays in there. But I'm the type of person that I feel like if I got a glove on it, I should have caught it."
A batter later, Matt Carpenter hit a comebacker that Rice attempted to knock down with his foot, knowing he would not be able to glove it. He succeeded, but as the ball dribbled toward the first-base line, Rice and catcher John Buck both scrambled after it. That allowed Wigginton to race home to an unguarded plate.
"I was in no-man's land," Rice said. "It happened so fast. As soon as I realized there wasn't a play at first, I looked up to see where the runners were and I saw the guy rounding third."
"That was outstanding baserunning, heads-up awareness of knowing where the guys were," Carpenter said. "That was a big play for us."
Any chance the Mets had to avoid their 12th loss in 16 games dissolved quickly after that, when Matt Holliday crushed a two-run homer off Scott Atchison to provide a three-run cushion. Atchison revealed afterward that he was pitching through numbness in his fingers, which he believes has roots in an elbow injury.
Consider it one last gut-punch for the Mets in St. Louis, where the Cards sucked all the drama out of a late-blooming pitchers' duel. Starters Jeremy Hefner and Lance Lynn both gave up three early runs before turning unhittable in the middle innings.
For Hefner, a leadoff walk and a pair of first-inning hits resulted in two of the runs, before three more singles in the second inning generated the other. For Lynn, imperfect defense allowed the Mets to score twice on Daniel Murphy's hit -- which former teammate Carlos Beltran misplayed into a double -- and once on David Wright's infield single.
Neither team's offensive momentum lasted, with Hefner and Lynn combining to set down 19 consecutive batters from the third through seventh innings. Hefner departed having retired 10 in a row, giving the Mets six innings of three-run ball. Lynn lasted an inning longer, needing 124 pitches to do it.
It was Hefner's fourth quality start in his last six tries, but it ended in similar fashion. The Mets lost, as they have done every time he has climbed atop the mound this season.
"Not everything is gauged on wins and losses, although winning is the most important thing -- especially in the big leagues," Hefner said. "I need to keep the runs down early in the game, build some momentum and confidence for myself and the team, and hopefully we'll come out on the winning side more often than not. Obviously that hasn't happened this year, so maybe there's some tinkering that needs to happen."
Certainly no strangers to tinkering, the Mets watched their latest patch arrive at Busch Stadium around two hours prior to Monday's first pitch. Because the Mets do not have a left-handed throwing outfielder, Ankiel borrowed a glove from Niese, a lefty pitcher. His regular gear became "stuck" in Houston, as he explained it, after the Astros designated him for assignment last week.
Ankiel initially borrowed Rice's glove, taking it to the field with him for his first batting practice session as a Met. But he exchanged mitts just before game time, using the outfielder's glove that Niese usually uses to shag fly balls.
"It's a lot different," Ankiel said. "But like I said, I just feel like if I can get a glove on it, I should catch it. That's something that I felt like I should have caught, but I didn't. And it stinks."

NAG Fortran Compiler Release 5.2 - LICENSING NPMI652NA
Licensing For The NAG Fortran Compiler -------------------------------------- 1. Introduction --------------- The use of the NAG Fortran Compiler on Unix is controlled by the Kusari Licence Management System. This document contains brief instructions on how to install a single-machine licence needed to run the software. 2. How to get a licence ----------------------- 2.1 Evaluation ("trial") licences --------------------------------- For evaluation purposes a trial licence may be used. To get a trial licence contact the NAG Response Centre. 2.2 Finding the Kusari host id ------------------------------ Before obtaining a full licence you need to know the Kusari hostid of the system on which you intend to use the NAG Fortran Compiler. Execute the command 'khostid' on that system, and send the output of this command to the NAG Response Centre. The 'khostid' command may be found in the compiler library directory. 3. How to use the licence ------------------------- 3.1 Installing the licence key ------------------------------ Put the licence key into a file accessible from the machine for which the software is licensed; if possible, in the file "nag.licence" in the compiler library directory (usually /usr/local/lib/NAG_Fortran). 3.2 Setting the enviroment variable ----------------------------------- If the file is not "nag.key", "nag.licence" or "nagware.licence" in the compiler library directory, your home directory, or the current working directory, you need to set the environment variable NAG_KUSARI_FILE to the full pathname of the licence file. For example, in the C-shell, type: setenv NAG_KUSARI_FILE /usr/local/lib/NAG_Fortran/my.licence in the Bourne shell, type: NAG_KUSARI_FILE=/usr/local/lib/NAG_Fortran/my.licence export NAG_KUSARI_FILE

This week Bosco Ntaganda, a Congolese warlord indicted for war crimes, gave himself up after evading an international arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for more than six years. I'm pretty sure I was the last international journalist to meet and interview him.
It wasn't exactly the uniform I'd imagined him in, but when I came across the Congolese warlord in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, he was wearing a t-shirt with the words "peace and reconciliation" across his front.
General Ntaganda is an indicted war criminal accused of recruiting child soldiers for a 2002 conflict and who, at the time I met him in 2010, had managed to duck an international arrest warrant for more than four years. All the while, he continued to draw allegations of further atrocities – massacres, political assassinations and rape among them.
When a journalist colleague pointed him out to me, he was huddled with the chief of the Congolese armed forces beside a grass football pitch that doubled as a UN helicopter base surrounded by the forests of Walikale.
That in itself was significant – the UN had repeatedly issued contorted and ambiguous statements in an effort to deny Gen Ntaganda was part of a UN-backed Congolese army effort deployed to beat back several rebel groups in the area. But it was an open secret that the former rebel commander whose loyalists had like him been integrated – poorly – into the army, was now second-in-command of the UN-backed mission. The UN later warned me to drop the story when I sought a response from a senior representative.
As Gen Ntaganda began to walk away I found myself walking up to him and greeted him in Swahili. "I am military co-ordinator for the operations…I am the number two," he soon told me as he reached a vehicle packed with armed troops who looked so young I wondered about their age. "I am going to see my forces," he said as he prepared to drive off.
The next day he directed me to a secret location in Goma, the volcanic city at the heart of eastern Congo. An armed guard kept look-out from a raised sentry box at the gate while others patrolled the site. One of them eventually summoned me with his muzzle to meet him. Read more

Form a VCOA Chapter
The Chapter is the basic unit of our club and serves as the focus for all club activities at the local level. VCOA Chapters currently exist in many geographic areas of the US & Canada. If a chapter does not exist in your area, or you wish to form a new one, there are only a few basic requirements.
Download our Chapter Charter Application & Charter Member List documents. This is a copy of the charter that will be issued by VCOA National Headquarters. Please read the conditions and terms of the charter; your signed application is your agreement to adhere to the terms of the charter.
In order to apply, you must have a minimum of 12 VCOA members; however, you may have additional VCOA members sign the charter thereby becoming "Charter Members" of your chapter.
Be sure that you fill in all of the information asked for on the application. Print or type all information except for the signatures of the charter members. In order to complete the application you will need:
- At least 12 VCOA members in good standing. These members should live in a reasonable geographic area that will make participation in chapter activities relatively easy. Each member must sign the charter application in the space provided next to the printed information. If you are recruiting new members who will be signing the charter application, you should collect their application and membership fee (check to VCOA or Master/VISA Card info) and include these with the charter application.
- Name and address for your chapter. The name should reflect the location or some attribute of the chapter you wish to form, for example - "Greater Boston/Merrimack Valley Chapter," "Lone Star Chapter," and "Puget Sound Chapter". The address should be one that will be relatively permanent and that won't change every time officers or membership changes. Describe the geographic area that you wish to be included in your chapter. This information will be used to direct new club members to your chapter as they join VCOA. If possible, please specify this geographic area using ZIP code numbers so that our computer can automatically determine the appropriate chapters for the new members. Postal ZIP code maps are available in the ZIP Code Directory of your local post office.
- A President and a Secretary. These will be the first two names on the charter application. You may select other officers as you think necessary; however, only the initial president and secretary will be indicated on the charter.
When you have all the required information, carefully fill in the application. If you are sending new member applications with the charter application for some of the members who are signing the charter, leave the member number blank and we will fill in the appropriate information when we process the membership applications. If you want to keep a copy of the application, make one for yourself now as the original will be retained by VCOA National Headquarters. Mail the completed application to the club headquarters address PO Box 16 Afton, NY 13730. An approved charter will be sent to the chapter address on the application.
Our former president, Lee Cordner wrote a great article a while back for Rolling talking about chapter building ideas. You can view & download a copy of that as well.
If you decide to form a chapter in your area, please contact Ryan Ottochian, Chapter Coordinator to obtain a current list of members in your area for your use.
If you have any questions or need help with any part of the application please do not hesitate to e-mail:
Benefits of Joining the Club
Rolling Magazine
The magazine of the Volvo Club of America, Rolling is published six times annually and contains current news, technical information, and historical and general interest articles, as well as a calendar of events, regional and chapter news, classified advertising, and various discount sources. The magazine provides articles devoted to the maintenance and enjoyment of all Volvo models.
Parts and Service Discounts
As with any other piece of machinery, a Volvo requires periodic maintenance and the replacement of worn parts. VCOA helps members reduce these costs by up to 25%. A growing number of Volvo dealers and aftermarket parts suppliers around the country offer discounts to VCOA members. Your club membership can more than pay for itself in parts and accessories discounts alone.
Local Chapters
VCOA members live in virtually every state - from Alaska and Hawaii to Maine and Florida, and all points between. Local chapters across the country are the basis for club events close to home. If there is not a chapter in your area, you can get one started with a few friends and some work and dedication.
Regional and National Meets
VCOA sponsors annual Volvo meets featuring concourse events, technical workshops, competition events, swap meets, and banquets. These are social events for the entire family and highlight VCOA's annual activities. In addition, Chapters host local and regional meets as well as regular meetings and activities.
Discounts on New Volvo Purchase
VCOA members holding current membership cards may participate in Volvo's "Friends and Family" A-PLAN BY VOLVO purchase arrangement. The "A" plan is the program through which Volvo employee families purchase their private cars at the pre-negotiated dealer invoice price from participating retailers. A VCOA member and immediate family member may buy up to 2 new Volvos per year at the same price as Volvo employees do. Click for details
Technical Assistance
Owners of older Volvos are especially interested in technical information and assistance, both for repairs and modifications to their cars. VCOA helps you plug into a network of individuals across the country who can help the owner of any Volvo better understand how to maintain his or her Volvo.
Other Benefits
VCOA also provides you with a club membership card, a multicolor window decal, and the opportunity to obtain various accessories, regalia, and books at lower prices.
Most importantly, membership in the Volvo Club of America will bring you camaraderie with other Volvo owners and enthusiasts who share your interest in Volvos.

Zoya Matte Velvet Nail Polish.
Call me a magpie if you must but I'm a big fan of shine & shimmer. Whether it's sequins, glitter or a simple sheen, I'm often overheard oooing and ahhhing over just about anything with luminosity. Kind of unusual then that I'm newly smitten with the new Matte Velvet Nail Polish from Zoya, but they seem just right for the winter/fall season ahead. All the color, none of the shine and a deep, velvet finish that's completely new (and fashionable) - what's not to love! This non-toxic and natural nail polish allows you to go a little more green with your nail care products, without giving up your glam. Sure, they still contain some chemicals, but until someone develops a nail polish with organic ingredients (won't that be a great day?), having a nail polish option that is formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl pthalate free is a fabulous step in the right direction. A note about how to apply these great new nail colors: make sure you clean the nail surface first and don't use any topcoat, basecoat or any other glossy nail treatment, or you'll ruin the lush velvety finish that this Matte Velvet Nail Polish is designed to have.

Police in Melksham are searching for two men who crashed a car into a front garden yesterday, narrowly missing a bystander and destroying a cherished classic car.
A black MG Rover careered off Barnwell Road and into the garden at number 15 at around 3pm, straight into the vintage red Ford Capri.
Owner Heather Waldron was in the house at the time. She said: "I was inside and I heard this horrendous crash. I thought, oh my God, there has been an accident outside.
"I went to the window expecting to see something down the road and saw this car in the front garden. I was white as a sheet when I went out there."
The Capri, which Mrs Waldron and her husband Ken have owned for nearly 20 years, has been written off, and their front fence and hedge destroyed.
She said: "The car meant the world to us, but it's so old I don't know what we will get insurance-wise.
"It was my pride and joy, I loved that car, but If it wasn't there it would have gone straight into the house.
"My neighbour was just outside next door. How they didn't hit her I don't know.
"She said they jumped out of the car, pulled their hoods up and were gone."
The Rover has been seized by police, with forensic teams carrying out an investigation to determine its owner. A search of the area was conducted, but the two men involved in the crash have not been located.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Melksham Neighbourhood Policing Team on 101, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Did you know?
Kirkman's Kamp offers specialist safaris - such as birding, tracking, photographic and walking safaris
Built in the 1920s on a historic homestead, Kirkman's Kamp has retained its luxurious colonial atmosphere and gracious style. It has 18 air-conditioned guest suites with en suite bathrooms, separate showers, free standing baths and private verandas with spectacular views of the untamed wilderness.
Its large sitting room with 1920s ambience overlooks rolling lawns. Breakfasts and lunches are served on shady verandas, while dinners are enjoyed in the boma or in romantic candlelit bush settings. Guests can cool off in the sparkling pool or browse in the safari shop.
Kids visiting Kirkman's Kamp have the time of their lives. Families staying at Kirkman's Kamp are matched with rangers who are trained to interact with younger guests. They engage them in bush activities such as collecting pods, feathers, bugs and leaves, and teach them how to identify different animal species.
Special 'Pooh Walks' search out animal droppings and teach children the basics of tracking. Bark-rubbing expeditions add to the fun. With parents' permission, rangers might take youngsters on carefully supervised target shooting with a pellet gun, go frogging or fishing in the Sand River, or teach them how to make fire using twigs.
During leisure hours children may help with the decoration of cupcakes or bake cookies in the kitchen. They can also enjoy bush tennis, croquet, bowls, soccer and treasure hunts around the lodge. A children's bush banquet, featuring 'prickly porcupine's pizza' or 'python's penne pasta', and marshmallows toasted around the campfire, is another special treat. While they eat they listen to fascinating Shangaan folk tales.
For safety reasons children under six cannot participate in the twice-daily game drives unless the family books a private vehicle. However, shorter drives can be arranged in the later morning to allow younger children to enjoy the wildlife from a safer distance.
Experienced childminders can be booked to care for younger children at the lodge while parents go on game drives.
