Why don't more people grow their own food?
This question inspired us to start Farmscape, four years ago, yesterday. We saw the potential for Los Angeles to become a "garden city," where neighbors and hired farmers together grew enormous quantities of top-quality food within the city limits, from a network of farms strung across our yards and our rooftops. We imagined a city where landscaping became farmscaping, improving our food, our health, and our neighborhoods alike.
It's been a delicious, delightful, adventurous -- at times back-straining -- four-year journey since that day. We are not nearly done with our mission, but we have made incredible progress. We are honored and proud to share our birthday with you: our members and our fans.
Announcing Farmscape's new book!
In Beans from My Father, Farmscape argues with itself on almost every page. In this lively autobiography, Farmscape explores its background as both a social and environmental cause, and also a business. What does it mean to be a mission-based, conscientous organization, and yet also feel compelled to break-even on the balance sheet?
After college, the founders of Farmscape worked for three years to develop a business that would feed a city on sustainable, local, and maximally fresh ingredients. They took the business model to the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles in search of its "authentic" self. They wanted to see if a theory would work for real...

Italian observatory set to lobby for freedom in the mountains 21 May 2012 A new group called The Italian Observatory for Liberty set up to resist attempts by national or local authorities to constrain freedom of access and risk taking in mountaineering and climbing was unveiled at the "Festival della Montagna" in Trento earlier this month.
Speakers at the Trento conference The first members of the group who were present at the Trento Conference said that the numerous and increasing attempts to curb liberty by lawyers and local authorities weren't just confined to France and Italy, the two countries where an observatory has been created; it is a worldwide problem. Speakers at the Trento conference included Bernard Amy, president of the French Observatory, Zanantoni, Alessandro Gogna, mountaineer and writer, author of a public enquiry about liberty in mountaineering, lawyer Carlo Bonardi, Maurizio Dalla Libera and Gino Comelli, a mountain Guide and head of mountain rescue in the Fassa valley. Pier Oliveti, Italian Alpine Club (CAI) delegate to the UIAA Management Committee, emphasised the role of CAI in creating strong links at the level of local sections to institutionalise the role of the observatory. Editor's note: Carlo Zanantoni is a member of the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI) who was on the UIAA Safety Commission. He is now a corresponding member with the commission. |

So my question is: Is the non-technology founder of a successful software as a service start up usually between the ages of 35 and 50 with lots of experience? If so, should I use their career development as a template for my development?
Additional Info (why I'm asking the question):
I'm about to market a software as a service product that I built, but this will be an entirely new challenge for me because my training by default is software development, not business and marketing. I've been a software developer for about 8 years. I left my full time job 3 years ago and became a freelancer because I love programming and wanted more challenging projects. Over the past 3 years, I focused on my strength and passion: programming and hiring/training new software developers to help me with programming.
Recently, I started studying the team profiles of other successful SAAS businesses. I noticed that within most of these start up teams, there's usually at least one individual who's not a product developer (neither a programmer or graphic designer) and :
a) has formed strong relationships with many important people who can further his business/vision (or people he can sell to)
b) is generally between the age of 35 and 50
When comparing myself to the individual mentioned, I often wonder if I am "too young" and in-experienced in business to make my SAAS business a financial success. I wonder if it will take at least 5-10 more years to form the necessary strong strategic relationships with influential people to further any ideas I have. I'm coming to a very difficult realization that I might have to stop coding, and to leave that to my team because that's what I taught them to do. And now I need to start learning how to market my business and build meaningful relationships with the right people...this is scary because I've never studied how to do this, and not sure how long it would take to ramp up.
In the past, I've made the mistake of partnering with other people who I thought were more business-minded to take care of the marketing and business side of things. Each time, the business failed because these individuals failed. Now I'm reluctant to let anyone else lead my business other than me or the people I've trained on my team.

JOONDALUP Men's Shed started the year with new equipment, an influx of donations and plans for computer courses.
The group will remain in the old Padbury Senior High School manual arts centre until its permanent home is ready in Heathridge.
A $2700 City of Joondalup grant helped equip a new metalwork area, there have been many donations of hardware, materials and tools and a former lounge area has become a computer training space.
Membership officer Stan Elson said the shed, formed in 2010, was growing steadily, with several new members joining each month.
The group is part of a national network looking after men's wellbeing and providing a place to use a lifetime's manual arts skills, such as woodwork and metalwork.
Members can work individually or on group projects, such as toy-making, community handyman services, bicycle restoration and distribution.
Chairman Alan Greenhalgh said toymakers had distributed up to 700 toys to women's refuges, trauma victims and other worthy recipients from Geraldton to Rockingham and to Third World countries before Christmas.
The shed is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9.30am to 4pm.
Members welcomed Judy Saunders from Glaucoma Australia to their monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 14.
The group's next guest, on Tuesday, March 13, will provide free blood pressure checks and answer frequently asked medical questions.

Nintendo 3DS Review: Welcome to the Third Dimension
Nintendo ditches glasses in the first major gadget with a glasses-free 3-D display. Find out how it plays in our test
The latest version of Nintendo's wildly, globally popular DS handheld gaming system (which goes on sale this weekend in the US) is an exciting gadget. It's the first major mainstream launch of a glasses-free 3-D display, something that bodes well for the future of the extra-dimensional entertainment world currently being pursued at full throttle by multiple industries. Is glasses-free 3-D gaming for real? I've been playing for the last week to find out.
You may already have seen our initial impressions and my general thoughts on 3-D gaming here, and after a week with the 3DS, I'm still sold. Gaming in 3-D is great fun, when it works. Which it does very consistently on the 3DS.
What's New
The aforementioned glasses-free display is the big one: it employs a parallax-barrier LCD (which we tore open to show you How It Works here). What's neat about the LCD parallax barrier is that the affect can be fine-tuned with a slider, ranging from a crystal-clear 2-D image all the way to full 3-D.
When side by side with the previous generation DSi, there are several other changes: aside from being in 3-D, the screen is also larger at 3.5 inches and has a higher resolution at 400 x 240 pixels (800 x 240 if you count the discrete images for each eye, up from the DSi's 3-inch, 256 x 192 pixel display); a slightly beefier case (just over two millimeters thicker and 16 grams heavier); and 2 GB of internal storage in addition to an SD card slot (it comes with a 2GB card in the box, for 4GB total). There's a 3-D camera on the back plus an additional front-facing single-lens camera for self-portraits; on the outside, an analog thumbstick joins the traditional D-pad on the left side of the controls; and, rounding out the insides, a gyroscope for orientation sensing has been added, as well as a more powerful processor and increased RAM.
What's Good
Gaming in 3-D: I will say it again: video games are the most natural use for 3-D screens (my thoughts on why are here). On the 3DS the 3-D effect is, for me, very well implemented. There is a definite sweet spot, which lives around 14-16 inches from your eyeballs when held straight-on, and if you venture too far out of it, the screen can be blurred (interestingly, there are sweetspots to the left and right as well, for friends looking over your shoulder). But after a very brief adjustment, I found it easy to stay in the zone and keep the 3-D view consistent.
That said, some friends who played had a harder time adjusting initially. It's probably smart to get some playtime before purchasing just to make sure your eyes and the 3DS get along.
The basics: The 3DS's system software, like most everything else Nintendo, is beautifully designed, interface wise. Lots of big rounded corners, sans-serif fonts, pleasing color schemes and cute icons--I love it. It also multitasks rather elegantly, allowing you to drop out of any game you're running to quickly change the display brightness, take a photo with the camera, jot a note, check notifications or friend status, etc, all while keeping your game's state preserved.
Plenty to do: In addition to games, there's lots of fun to be had with the pre-loaded software. The Wii's customizable Mii avatars are here, complete with a new feature to auto-create Miis based on a photograph of your own face. A built-in pedometer tracks your steps and doles out "Play Coins" for every ten you take, which you can use to unlock additional features like more minigames in the AR Games section, etc. I've taken 1,160 steps today with my 3DS.
A passive networking mode called StreetPass also exchanges Miis and other data with any other 3DS-toters who may come within range, even when the system is asleep in your pocket or bag. There haven't been too many 3DS players on the streets of NYC this week, but I'm excited to see how this feature takes shape in the big city once it goes on sale here.
Faces are also applied to Face Raiders, a fun built-in mini game for shooting cartoon balloons of your friends' faces out of the sky (as viewed by your 3-D camera). And then there are...
AR Games: The easiest way to wow someone with your new 3DS is to plunk one of the included AR Game cards down on a table and play AR Games, a pre-loaded suite of augmented-reality mini games that turn your tabletop (again as viewed by the 3-D camera on the back) into the stage for a dragon hunt, an archery range, a fishing pond and more. It's pretty magical, and while the replay value is not high, it's a great way to immediately show off all the capabilities of the machine at once.
Super Street Fighter 4: 3D Edition: The best launch game by far. I'm a Street Fighter fan already, and on the 3DS, this feels like full-blown Street Fighter 4 as it runs on my Xbox 360. The graphics are great, the 3-D effect perfectly implemented (including a new over-the-shoulder fight perspective), and online battles are possible. This is the game I've played most.
What's Bad
Battery Life: So bad I'll say it a few more times: battery life, battery life, battery life. It's a terrible sign when even the often-inflated ratings provided by the manufacturer are embarrassingly low. Here, it's just 3-5 hours of 3-D play (compared to 9-14 on the DSi and 15-19 on the DS Lite). In the real world, you can expect to get even less than that sometimes. Having Wi-Fi on is the biggest battery suck--battling online with Street Fighter sapped a 75-percent full battery down to nearly a quarter in just under an hour. You can easily disable Wi-Fi with a dedicated switch on the side, but it's a shame the Wi-Fi is so inefficient, as it's necessary to enable cool features like StreetPass.
You can tell Nintendo is painfully aware of this deficiency. A new charging cradle is included in the box (meant to say "look how convenient it is to charge!") and instead of the 30-40 minutes of low-battery warning via an unblinking LED found on previous DS systems, the 3DS employs two red LEDs that blink angrily when juice is running out. It's best to heed their warning and save your game, because the time from low-battery indication to auto-shut-down can be just a minute or two.
So if your DS is a particularly friendly companion on long trips, expect to spend a lot of time playing at the lowest display brightness and with Wi-Fi disabled. Or be stuck reading a book after your battery dies.
Varying qualities of 3-D: How effective and tolerable the 3-D effects are seems to vary largely from game to game. Where Super Street Fighter IV almost never makes my eyes uncomfortable, and employs a great sense of depth rather than a constant barrage of objects flying out from the screen, Madden Football is full of jarring perspective changes and graphic elements. Thankfully you can dial back the 3-D effect for these games, but what's the fun in that? It will be interesting to see how developers maintain quality control in this new variable of game design.
Hardware design: To me, the DS Lite/DSi are some of the more pleasingly designed gadgets I've owned. Holding and using one, you get the sense that every superfluous element has been eliminated, and every necessary element has been honed down to its most precise form. And while the 3DS shares a very similar chassis, the details don't seem quite as locked down to me. The hinge jiggles when open a bit more than my DSi, and the whole thing feels a tad more cheap and plastic-y. A minor quibble.
No Mario! Nintendo hasn't launched many major consoles without Mario. And even more surprising, beyond our favorite plumber, very few recognizable Nintendo franchises are here at the start (the exception is Pilotwings Resort, which I found to be one of the more eye-straining games when I played it at the system's U.S. debut event earlier this year, interestingly enough). Games like Lego Star Wars III: Clone Wars show that your typical platform action is a blast in 3-D, so I can't wait for whatever Nintendo has cooked up for Mario, who is usually saved for its genre- and platform-defining titles.
The Price
$250, which is too much, considering the battery limitations (and that the DSi was $80 cheaper at $170).
The Verdict
Overall, the 3DS is a joy to play. For the most part, the glasses-free 3-D "just works" and is a thrilling experience that adds significantly to most games, even when it's not employed as a major gameplay element. I can't wait to see what developers (especially Nintendo's own) do with its capabilities.
That said, the battery life is a huge bummer. If you're like me, you grow almost afraid to use any gadget with such poor battery longevity; there's a nagging anxiety in the back of your mind that what you're doing won't last, especially if you feel like cranking up the display brightness (where it's at its prettiest) and using Wi-Fi to get the most out of your gadget. This is an unpleasant feeling.
Nintendo loves to release physically enhanced versions of its portable consoles pretty regularly, so it's safe to bet that a slimmer 3DS with better battery capacity (plus more efficient components) is on the horizon. That almost certainly won't happen any earlier than 12 months from now, though, so for the time being, the battery life (and price) will be the price to pay for what is otherwise top-notch portable 3-D gaming.

Wow, for real? the battery life is better is you turn off the 3d?! Its ridiculous you would bring that up, why the heck would you get a 3D gaming system just to turn off the best part of it!? The battery life is horrible, if you wanna save battery life and money keep your DSi and don't buy it.
Ha, don't feel so bad, nrdybrdy, I still only have the original GBA.
I do think it's a shame that the 3DS is so good and yet still has such terrible battery life. I'd probably recommend to anyone who would want to use it "on-the-go" and not at home that they should wait until the improved version comes out, because as the article says, Nintendo certainly does have a track record of release a thousand enhanced models.
Got this for my youngest yesterday (his birthday was the same as the release day, sort of a no brainer) and I was really impressed and disappointed at the same time.
Haven't had any battery issues, yet (they do have battery packs that extend the battery life 2 fold). But the manual says that with the brigthness turned down you should get 5 hours of play time off a 3.5 hour charge. Not too bad considering.
The 3d effects are cool, taking 3d photos is pretty darn cool, the augmented reality cards are limited, but it's neat while it's still "novel". Game play in 3d is nice, even the simply revamped games like Lego Star Wars, the extra depth is really darn cool.
The disappointments, no online/internet browsing. Not yet at least, they say it will be in an upcoming update, but they say it could be several months. not cool.
Another disappointment, one of the selling points was the transfer system, so you could transfer your old games and files from our old system to the new system, but again, that function isn't available yet, could be several months, again not cool.
Bottom line, if you can wait, do. You might catch a break on the price and be able to use all the options rather than having to wait on them. We'll have to see how long the "new" factor lasts. I know I was in a Wal-Mart and over heard the electronics associate say they hadn't sold a single 3ds or game yet.

Ah, this isn't any ordinary map application. Sure it'll give you all the fun stuff that maps usually offer, but it also brings the iPhone's already unique controls to a whole 'nother level. Schmap for the iPhone is noteworthy because of its ability to take advantage of the accelerometer: portrait mode lists the attractions while rotating it to landscape mode displays the attractions on a googlemap-ified map.

AT&T giveth, and AT&T taketh away. Or so they say...
Hot on the heels of an apparent AT&T web glitch that everyone and their blogs assumed leaked something called the "iPhone Black", and some maybe corroboration from a UK accessory web store selling what looks like current gen stock under the "iPhone Black" label, reader Bad Ash points out that the Tilt (and maybe other handsets?) were also being listed as "Black", i.e. "Tilt Black".
Yeah, Chrisey, hang on a minute, I'm conferencing in our mutual friend from Cupertino...
Hello? (Manage, this thing is easy to use!) Hello Stevie? Whoa, there he is... Stevie, It's me Tony. So what do I gotta do to get on this computer thing... this iTunes Chrisey here keeps telling me about?
No, me, I don't know nothing from nothing about it, but Chrisey tells me it's, you know, the next big deal, and we want our taste.
Yeah, I'm using one of your -- what do you call them -- iPhones right now. Never mind how I got it, fell off the back of a truck with 10,000 of its little friends we've already shipped to China, capiche? Let's talk content.

Thanks to eagle-eyed reader Janric for the tip:
We all know it's coming. Steve Jobs said so. AT&T said so. Everyone and their blog has posted so. But it's still super sweet to see Apple code confirming it!
Apple Insider (via Chronic Productions) brings word that deep delving the latest iPhone SDK firmware has yet again revealed buried treasure. This time, Beta 5 gives up the strings for 3G:
Not evil twin to Phone Different Week in Review, not an invasion by Fake Steve, This Week in Smart Phone Schadenfreude brings you all the feel-better news you need about the smartphone world outside Apple's current media dominator. (Who knew there was such a world? We were just as surprised! Inelegant, interface challenged, keyboardy, crashy, single-touchy place — best not to linger…). Join us as we mock review the big news from last week at our sister sites. Everybody loves sibling rivalry!
[Note: Due to the dust settling from our mega-merger -- and our subsequent allergies -- we're keeping it short this week. Just the low-lights.]
It's with a lot of excitement and perhaps just a little pride that we're announcing the merger of the iPhone Blog and Phone different! Now all new, the iPhone Blog's excellent history of covering the iPhone is now fortified with all of the great content originally found at Phone different. Now and during the run-up to the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 2.0 software release, the iPhone Blog features the latest iPhone news, accessory reviews, editorial, commentary, and more.
To celebrate this combination of two great sites, the iPhone Blog will be giving away great prizes to its readers! We'll be continuing the very popular iPhone 2.0 Wait-a-Thon, wherein anybody who comments on a "Wait-a-thon" tagged post is automatically entered to win a $100 iTunes Gift card, which we will be giving away every week until the release of the iPhone 2.0 software. Anytime you see a post with "Wait-a-Thon" in the title, comment for your chance to win! Click here for the full details.
That's not all, we'll also be giving away an iPhone 3G when it becomes available. We'll announce the contest details later this week, so watch this space.
Most importantly, though, the iPhone Blog is now the premiere site for you to find all of your iPhone news, tips, how-to articles, and reviews. We have an incredible team of writers - just check out all the posts from Phone different that have been added to the blog to see what we mean. We'll also feature a bi-weekly iPhone Podcast. Of course, the Phone different iPhone accessory Store isn't going anywhere, it's still your best source for any iPhone accessory you could imagine.
We're still working some bugs out, so please bear with us as we get everything fully operational. If you find any dead links, site bugs, or other hassles, please email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. In the meantime, keep an eye out for full-featured forums, web-app reviews, hands-on with jailbroken iPhone apps and also with pretenders-to-the-throne, and much, much more.
It's been a bit slow here at TiPB, but that doesn't mean we haven't been working behind the scenes for some great stuff for you all. We're going to a little messy this weekend, so please pardon our dust as we make a few changes here and there. If you can't help yourself and don't mind seeing holes in the drywall, you might try stopping by over the weekend to get a hint at the big announcement that's coming on Monday morning.
Big. Giveaways and whatnot. You'll see.
It is the iPhone, the singular creation upon which Apple's Mobile Wi-Fi platform is predicated. While its primary construct, and ergo heretofore deliberate focus, has been the express realization of an unparalleled client-side experience, it remains at its core irrevocably a UNIX-based operating system and hence capable of infinitely more.
While the sublime profundity of said client-side, and thus end-user, experience continues to approach perfection, anomalous entities -- self-designated 133t hax0rs -- have also succeeded in bending, perhaps even breaking, the iPhone's default parameters with a secondary, decidedly more server-oriented goal, vis-a-vis the porting of Apache, Python, vim, curl, and more apropos this posting: lighttpd.

Soft-Lite Windows in Maryland is a company that specializes in providing quality replacement windows. This company offers a wide variety of models and styles of replacement windows.
Some of the styles of replacement windows that are available include the double hung, single hung, casement, picture, sliding, awning, and bay windows. Soft-Lite Windows offers professional estimates in a timely manner for window replacement needs. They can also help with patio doors and fiberglass entry doors.
One of the best reasons to consider getting replacement windows is a savings of money. Older windows tend to let air in and out freely which wastes your heating or air conditioner that you are paying for. New windows make it possible to keep a room temperature controlled because the room is now insulated well. Older windows are at a risk for stress cracks and peeling paint from older windows may have toxic lead paint in them. The cost to replace windows can be expensive but the overall savings would make it a good investment.
In order to replace older windows with newer ones from Soft-Lite you can call them for a free estimate. They will send someone out to look at the amount of work that is involved and give you a price. If you own your home you may be able to apply for a home improvement loan in order to get the new windows. Consider replacing the older doors at the same time so that air isn't escaping or leaking in from around the door frames. The newer doors are as energy efficient as the newer windows. You can call your bank and ask them about any programs they may be offering if you upgrade your windows and doors. Since it increases the value of your home they may be willing to offer you a lower interest rate.
Replacing windows with Safe-Lite windows would be a wise and economical decision as a homeowner.

I recently purchased this canopy in white to hang over my queen sized bed. Some positives: - Adds a nice dramatic feel to you bed/bedroom (I've gotten nothing buy compliments so far) - Comes with all the supplies you need for install (ceiling hooks, anchors, and little rope ties) - Fairly easy to install and won't take many tools (just a hammer or drill bit to help predrill your 4 holes) Some negatives: - Unless you have high ceilings, the center of the canopy is going to drape fairly low. I'm fine with the way it looks, but others might not be, so I really wouldn't recommend the canopy for beds that are smaller than a queen and ceilings lowers than 8 to 9 feet - Fabric is softer than I expected, which is a plus, but it seems like it will snag very easily, so just keep that in mind when washing and such Other notes: - Some had mentioned that the white canopy was too sheer, but I'd have to disagree, I think it has just the right amount of opaqueness to give that airy quailty - You really don't need to use the anchors. I found that they were more of a hassle to install than I was willing to put up with. The ceiling hooks I think will do just fine because the canopy is not a heavy fabric at all. Overall I'm really happy with my purchase and can't wait to find another great buy on Overstock!
I bought this to go with the black metal canopy bed sold on Overstock. The white net is absolutely beautiful on the black frame. I managed to put it up myself...it drapes beautifully and is just the right length to puddle on the floor... There is a little extra netting at the back, but all I had to do was pull it up and adjust it and it looks just like I had imagined it would. It fulfills a childhood dream of a canopy bed, but looks modern and elegant at the same time. Great product!
I got very creative with the netting, I purchased 3 canopies and used them to enhance my patio and keep those pesky mosquitos out of our seating area. I put two of the canopies together side by side and removed the center panels and expanded the width and had additional panel to complete the ceiling. A couple of the walls/panels were not cut straight at factory, but with a nip here and tuck there, they hang nicely. I also used some beads at the bottom of the walls to keep the breeze from blowing the panels open. This was quite a job for one person, two people would make the job easier. The canopies were a great value to me, I enclosed most of my 40 foot deck for under $100 and I have an extra canopy to use for repairs or expanding the area next summer. It pays to think outside the box!
I bought this in black and it was so beautiful, I bought a second in cocoa and layered them together. It makes my new bedroom set in the master bedroom look like a fantasy Tommy Bahama place! Guests that have been over have all said it looks like something you would see in a movie-I would definitely recommend these-in fact, I am going to buy two more-different colors-and put them in the King Guest room. By the way, the bed I have already had a cast iron scroll partial canopy, and these are BEAUTIFUL draped over it-Couldn't be happier! Best purchase I have made in a while! Awesome material, soft-not scrathcy, and durable too. Fast shipping! I trust all the purchases I have made from Overstock and I have yet to be disappointed. Order one of these and you will not regret it! My maid said it looked like "The Royal Family" bed! You will get sooo many compliments, and it takes just minutes to install. LOVE IT!!!
Our daughter had a four post full size bed. This canopy drapes nicely over it in a mosquito netting type style. The rope ties provided were sufficient to secure it in place. You can just cut extra fabric at the base w/o any damage to it. Easy and useful.
Excellent product. Only complaint is the fabric does not release the wrinkles. I even tried to steam it, they do not come out. Even after hanging for a month or so.
When I opened the package, I was surprised by the color "sand", as it wasn't what I expected. It should be called "Bamboo", but it looks good and matches my bamboo posts....an accident. You need 4 hands, patience, and creativity as my ceiling is too high for the hardware that was included, so we played with the 4 posts for a while and came up with a plan , and experimented. I also bought ribbon and made bows. It looks great, but I don't think too many customers want to take the time to do this. I suggest that various photos be included in the package as well as their website for customers to view, as this will be helpful.
I just installed my canopy last night and it looks and feels amazing! It gave the exact look and feel I wanted. I have strung lights throughout it as well and it gives such a romantic and whimsical feel now, that I honestly just want to spend all of my time in my bedroom reading "under the stars"... Once you have it up though, be sure to spray it with Febreze because it just has the slight packaging odor. The odor does go away shortly thereafter! ;)
Bought this bed for my 4 year old granddaughter's canopy bed I purchased here. This was part of a princess theme we created for her room. Can't have a princess room without a canopy on the bed! This item is extremely soft to the touch and well made. The price was unbeatable on Overstock as well.
I have been wanting one of these for easily close to 10 years, so basically since I was a teenager. And finally, I got this when I saw that the price was right (compared to pricey Bed/Bath and Beyond and even EBay and Amazon. I purchased a gorgeous white leather tufted ottoman bench from Overstock years ago and love it, and hadn't bought something since then, so I figured I'd try them again with another wishful pre birthday present unnecessary purchase, and I was not disappointed. Super easy to put up, a few frustrations, but only because I had my boyfriend help, and a decorator, he ain't! lol, but didn't take long to unshake it, put in the hooks they provide and hang it up. It hangs down just low enough to be exotic, but without making my clausterphobic. I have a full size bed, with queen size head board and fits great over it and gives a grand tropical appearance. I just love it! I feel like a princess, who cares that I am in my mid 20's! ;) I got white to keep it simple, fresh and tropical, and something I can have go with any decor I may end up changing over the years...great feel to it, doesn't seem cheap or too easily to get pulled or frayed. I would recommend this one for sure and I did my research on tons of other manufacturers of canopies.

Aneurysm a disdorder that weakend the aorta |
The Philadelphia Inquirer August 24, 2006 Thursday Aneurysm cause found to be more pervasive; A disorder that weakens the aorta can be fatal and is often misdiagnosed, researchers contend. BYLINE: Michelle Fay Cortez, Bloomberg News SECTION: NATIONAL; Pg. A11 LENGTH: 382 words A genetic disorder first described just one year ago is more widespread than thought, and misdiagnosing it may be deadly, researchers say. Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a connective-tissue disease marked by convoluted blood vessels and a weakened aorta that can fatally rupture, researchers said after studying patients from 52 families. As a result, treatment should be more aggressive for Loeys-Dietz than for similar disorders that are often mistakenly diagnosed for the syndrome. "It's very important to recognize this condition and distinguish it from other connective-tissue disorders," said Harry Dietz, director of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's Center for Marfan Syndrome Research. Misdiagnosis may result in "avoidable death," he said. Surgical repairs Patients with Loeys-Dietz are often misdiagnosed as having Marfan's, known for causing Abraham Lincoln-like lankiness, and the vascular disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, the researchers said. Loeys-Dietz, though, is the only one of the three in which the aorta may rupture even when it does not seem dangerously enlarged, Dietz said in a telephone interview yesterday. Nearly all Loeys-Dietz patients survive surgery to repair the vessel, said Dietz, who identified the disorder with Bart L. Loeys from Hopkins' Institute for Genetic Medicine and the Center for Medical Genetics at Ghent University Hospital in Belgium last February. 'Very aggressive' At the time, the two scientists knew of only 10 patients with the condition. The latest study, published in today's New England Journal of Medicine, reviewed data on clinical care, cardiovascular complications and the genetic makeup of 90 patients. Since the syndrome was identified, "we've learned that cardiovascular surgery is very safe and therefore you should be very aggressive about going in and repairing these aneurysms before they rupture," Dietz said. "In contrast, in people with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, you don't do surgery unless you believe death is imminent," he said. More studies are needed to pinpoint the exact number of people with the condition in the United States and worldwide, Dietz said. The disease leads to aggressive arterial aneurysms, with death at an average age of 26, and pregnancy complications in about half of women, they found.

THE UTAH NEWS. Further and Interesting Details of Re-cent Movements. By private letters received from the army at Port Bridger we receive some items of information, in ad-dition to those we have published from our corre-spondents now with the Army of Utah. Gov. CUMMING left Bridger on Monday, the 5th of April, for Great Salt Lake City, with the expectation of returning on the 15th. He was accompanied only by Col. KANE, two servants and two teamsters, de-pending on his escort from the Mormons when he had passed the advanced pickets of the expedition. It was rumored in the camp that the Governor was to have the opportunity afforded him of addressing the Mormons, on the Sunday following, from all parts of the Territory, as they were to be congregated on that occasion to hear him, and decide whether they would continue their course of opposition to the offi-cers of the Government, under the Governorship of BRIGHAM YOUNG, or accept him, without bloodshed, for their Governor, under certain conditions. Nothing definite was known of what those conditions were—but rumor had it that the Governor would propose the entry of the Federal officers and induction into office; the army to enter the valley, but to leave be-fore Winter. Or the other version, that the Federal officers were to enter the city and upon the discharge of their duties; as much of the army to go in with them as would be necessary to the establishment of a military fort, and the remainder to go elsewhere as directed. Such were the rumors after the visit of Col. KANE. The Mormons thus consenting to admit into their city whatever portion of the military as might be necessary to aid in carrying out any inves-tigation that Government might see proper to appoint. General JOHNSTON purposes carrying out his own plans, and intends to march for Salt Lake City about the beginning of June. By that time he will be rein-orced by Colonel HOFFMAN and Captain MARCY. The Colonel would add to General JOHNSTON'S command twenty officers, five hundred and fourteen men, one hundred and sixty-six horses, with one hundred and seventy-six mule teams, one hundred ox teams, with between two and three months' supplies for Colonel JOHNSTON'S whole command. Accompanying these troops and provisions will be also the ordinary num-ber of teamsters, herdsmen, &c., armed likewise for defence. Captain MARCY would arrive there, accompanied by Colonel LORING—who was at last advices following the Captain to provide him an escort—with five offi-cers, one hundred and ninety-four men. With that portion of the reinforcements, it is cer-tain that General JOHNSTON will march at the time stated into Salt Lake City, as he is determined that not words but acts of submission only can be accepted from the Mormons. It is rumored in the camp ; but not yet confirmed by travelers, that the Mormons had destroyed the bridge over the Sweet-water, near Independence Rock, and the other bridge over the north fork of Platte River, 100 miles west of Laramie, The de-struction of the latter would not be considered any great obstacle to the progress of reinforcements or the passage of supplies, as the Government ferry at Laramie would suit every purpose ; but during high- water the passage of the Sweet- water would be at- tended with considerable difficulty. The last mail from the States was only saved from falling into the hands of the Mormons by the presence of the dra-goon escort and the " Wind River party." The Mormon women and children are reported traveling south, huddled together like so much cattle in open wagons. The sermons in the City are said to be furious against the Government. BRIGHAM had preached in such a style of the President and ex-Sen-ator BRIGHT that it could not be published. The army is satisfied that the present move, through Col. KANE, is merely to obtain time and throw all operations late in the season, till it be-comes impracticable, and in the course of time feel-ing in the States might favor the withdrawal of the army altogether. It is said that BRIGHAM is trying to sow dissension between Governor CUMMING and Gen, JOHNSTON. A Little Later from Utah—Arrival of Col. Kane at from Fort Leavenworth. From the St, Louis Republican, 20th. Mr. ABEL GILBERT, of Weston, Mo., arrived at Fort Leavenworth on Sunday last, accompanied by Col. T. L KANE, w hose visit to Great Salt Lake City, by way of the Pacific, his interview with Gov. BRIG-HAM YOUNG, and his subsequent appearance at Camp Scott, has already been chronicled. Col. KANE has not yet reported himself here, but the officers of the Dickey state that they represent that the Mormons were dispersing from Salt Lake City, and going into the country. BRIGHAM YOUNG had abdicated the Gubernatorial chair. Gov. CUMMING was met, when thirty miles from Great Salt Lake City, by a deputation of Mormons and others, who escorted him to the city, where prep-arations were made to give him a grand reception as Governor of the Territory. Mr. GILBERT comes direct from Great Salt Lake City. Gov. DENNER was at Leavenworth City, and report-ed things at Fort Scott as in a more quiet state. The telegraph dispatch announcing the death of Gen. LARIMER, of Pittsburg, by the explosion of a cannon at Leavenworth, is pronounced a hoax.

Is there research to support the theory that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostate cancer?
from Erik P. Castle, M.D.
The incidence and risk of prostate cancer has been studied in many populations. These have included men who've had vasectomies and those who may or may not be sexually active. Some studies have suggested that men with a higher frequency of ejaculations may have a slightly lower risk of prostate cancer. However, this difference appears to be very small and is very difficult to accurately study.
At this time, there is no conclusive evidence that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostate cancer.
