Thank you all for your suggestions for my stitch sampler
I decided it would look good on my coffee table but when I tried it changed my mind it did not look right. Not sure still thinking but knowing me I will either put it back in the drawer or end up framing it.
Or maybe taking Shirley`s idea and crochet an edging around it, I could then have it as a wall hanging, yes think this idea is now top of the list,will have to tea dye the thread first or it will look too new against the rest of the sampler. will ponder for a little longer.
Thanks for all your replies, great to be able to have blogging friends and share all our bits and pieces.

Joe Palmer and Aaron Abramson rockin' out at Camp Jam DC. (Image courtesy of DC Examiner)
Camp Jam Rock 'n' Roll Summer Day Camp was featured in the DC Examiner last Friday. A reporter and photographer headed out to the Rockville Jewish Community Center to talk to some kids and grab some pics of them rockin' out. In the article, Jeff Carlisi had this great quote about the rock music camp:
"It's the ultimate team-building experience, more so even than team sports," he said. "When you take the stage, you count to four and the game begins. But if anyone on that team drops the ball, you're done."
Head over and read the article.
Tomorrow is a huge new music release day. Well, it is for us anyway. So, to get a head start here is a video of Jeremy Enigk singing "How it Feels to Be Something On". His third solo album drops tomorrow!!

2 Facts You Do Not Appreciate In Respect To LASIK Eye Medical ProceduresThe eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be tested in a number of ways. The patient may be asked to determine illuminated letter or things of differing sizes on exactly what is understood as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In particular diseases, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It ought to be well remembered that a patient with an eye issue might have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can signal the physician and the client to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
One's reliance on sight is stressed when one faces a possible or momentary irreversible loss of this vital sense. Hence, when restorative measures are sought, certain kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to encourage reduced utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgical treatment is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people must know. Probably, the main reason that this type of eye surgery has become well accepted is since most of its cases had been effective.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgical treatment includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most sensitive portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be very dangerous.
In other words, a basic error could almost cause an person's life time blindness. For this reason, it is necessary to think about numerous factors prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the ideal restorative measure one needs to go through.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment may fix your vision but it does not always imply that it can give you a best vision. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily imply they have ideal vision check out here as well.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the way a lot of people view it
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous methods. It needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye problem may have other issues. Often other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can notify the doctor and the client to problems in some disruptions of other have a peek at this site parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.

I've been slowly working my way off depression meds and, let me tell you, it's been a trip. I've been on them for five years or so and they smooth out my moods, essentially calming down the technicolor filter of intensely negative emotion so I can see things logically and clearly. To say it in a way the kids might understand, they keep me from both my manic Tigger tendencies and my nihilistic and irritable Eeyore the donkey tendencies, leaving me at a manageable Pooh-with-honey medium. (Perhaps it's worth mentioning the theory that each character in the 100-acre wood represents some variety of mental illness. Supposedly it's like the original Inside Out. I suppose that would make Christopher Robin schizophrenic. There's a thought to ruin your day.)
You could say I've gotten used to who I am while on the meds and, coming off them, I'm seeing flashes of a different me. Every month or two, along with a doctor's help, I lessen my daily dose. My brain, though, is used to a certain amount of dopamine, or whatever chemical it is, coming into its receptors from the outside and when I take away a little bit of it my brain panics and I go into severe mood swings.
It's pretty troubling. I'm like a pendulum that gets pushed once and hits its peaks before slowly swinging lower and lower and finally coming to rest again. I suppose that's why they call them mood "swings" (I'm not proud of that pun but I couldn't not make it). It normally takes a couple weeks for me to level out again and find a new normal.
This summer my wife and I took a vacation to Hilton Head (I mean we are middle class white people, after all) and the timing worked out in such a way that the first day of travel was the first day of a lower dose. This was unfortunate. We took a day trip to the historic part of Savannah about halfway through the week and, God bless her, my poor wife had to put up with me alternating between a deep love and a deep hate for the place about every five minutes. Every time she opened her mouth to talk to me she didn't know if she would be getting a response from Mr. Rogers or Voldemort.
During these adjustment weeks I feel like a passenger in my body. It's all brought up a bit of an identity crisis. I watch myself from a distance as I get really upset about things that shouldn't upset me or get really depressed about things I kind of know are irrational or untrue.
Most of humanity's problems, in my opinion, seem to stem from identity issues. We go to great lengths to be perceived a certain way or, get this, to continue seeing ourselves as the people we want to keep thinking we are. People ignore obvious evidence of their own wickedness or weakness so they can continue with the illusion that they are an overall good, strong person. It's where we get phrases like "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" — it's the need we feel to never let others see us sweat.
I've always thought of myself as a calm, gentle, understanding person, as generally in control. But I'm not that in the weeks after changing my dose. It's caused disheartening dissonance in which I'm questioning if I'm really the person I like to think I am or if I'm somebody else entirely, somebody I don't like all that much.
I've never been able to track down the original source, but I think Carl Jung was right on the nose when he proposed that "There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul."
That's the story of humanity, isn't it? We live in denial because it's painful to own up to what we really are. And I get that now. It would be easier for me to dismiss it, to ignore any evidence that suggests I'm not quite the saint I think I am. But I think Jung was too right to ignore. He goes on to theorize that "one does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
I take a slight issue with this second part because there's a tricky balance there. I don't want to (A) build my identity solely on what I do and am deep inside (making the darkness conscious) or (B) ignore the things I do and choose to believe what I want to believe in a wonderful but made up version of myself (imagining figures of light). Both options would land me in a white padded room.
The happy truth is Jung is proposing a false dichotomy here. There's a third option for defining myself. The solution to these two traps is to have an identity that transcends me. If that's the case, I can actively pursue both options Jung is suggesting. I can simultaneously dredge up the dark parts of my conscious and at the same time focus on "figures of light," the key difference being my figures of light aren't imagined but are truer than anything I can see.
Follow me here: those in Christ have two selves. We are who we are in the flesh, in the darkest, yet-to-be-sanctified parts. But in a deeper, truer way, we are who Christ says we are. Our lives are hidden with Him, we are a new creation, we can take part in the divine nature, and we are the righteousness of Christ (Colossians 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:15–21; 2 Peter 1).
This is good news because in Christ there's freedom from the trap of being defined by what I do or what I've done. This doesn't mean I'm not responsible for what I do, but it does mean that my truer identity is secure and unaffected by me.
This frees me up to actually deal with my crap because I don't have to be delicate with my fleshly identity. The Spirit can start rooting around and cleaning up in the mineshaft of my heart because it's no longer what's holding the ceiling up; there's a structure from the outside that's keeping me from cave ins. Or, at least, when He pokes at my foundational sins and it does cave in, that's not where my truest self lives anymore.
I can acknowledge the darkest truths of my soul because my fleshly self isn't the truest me. If I don't have an unshakeable identity in Christ to cling to, then mortifying, being sanctified, killing my sin by facing up to the truth of who I am, whatever you want to call it, would be existentially fatal. But in Christ it doesn't have to be. I'm free to face the unsanctified emotions I didn't think I had anymore because they don't define the truest me.
I'm not sure who the original me is — a calm Pooh Bear or some sort of angry, angsty, and anxious hybrid of Roo, Eeyore, and Piglet — but really it doesn't matter as much as the truth of who I am as a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). My focus is free to rest on the realest version of me: the clothing of Jesus' righteousness that He's draped around my shoulders. It's still too big for me, but I'm growing into it.

We were riding in the car the other day when the following conversation took place:
Colby: Mommy, did you hear that?
Me: Hear what, bud?
Colby: I tooted. [Laughter]
We have been working with Clara on her colors and I was asking her what colors certain items were. I encouraged Colby to help by telling him to ask Clara what color something was, and he said, "Ok, Cwara... what color is the blue spoon?"
Before bath time, we often hear both of them request, "Take off my clothes so I can be a jaybird!" (which they picked up from hearing us telling them they're "as naked as a jaybird")
In our never-ending quest to get them to hurry up and do whatever we're asking them to do, we've resorted to the whole "last one to do xyz is a rotten egg!" bit. This is surprisingly effective, but inevitably leads to them both arguing about who gets to be the rotten egg.
Colby bit me during the twins' recent trip to the dentist (yes, it was as special as you're imagining) and brings the whole ordeal up regularly. One time when we were discussing it, I said, "Yes, we went to the dentist and you bit me!" He responded incredulously with, "I didn't bit you! I bite you!" I stand corrected.
Every time the dogs are outside and start barking when the kids are in bed, this happens:
That would be Inspector Colby spying out of the window facing the backyard (approximately 1 hour after bedtime).
We picked up the twins from Sunday school last weekend and this was one of Clara's pieces of artwork that they gave us:
I mean, there are adults that can't color in the lines that well! (Pardon the mom brag)
Oh, little ones, you sure do entertain us so!

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews

Comments about Joss&Main | Jossandmain.com:
Over the past year, I've signed up for a few "flash sales" websites, like MyHabit, OneKingsLane, and Joss & Main. For those who don't know, these are websites that specialize in limited-time and limited-quantity, discounted merchandise (also called "events"). They're kind of like a HomeGoods or Marshall's on the web.
Joss & Main feature a wide variety of ever-changing designer products that are currently on trend. Everything is chic and fashionable and there are great bargains in every category.
My favorite category is home decor. Joss & Main always has beautiful wall art, mirrors, occasional tables, bookshelf objects, pillows, and a thousand-and-one ways to create eye-catching displays for a coffee table.
Occasionally, some of the more unique and popular items are likely to sell out before you get a chance to add them to your cart. But surprisingly, I've found that the items I tend to be interested last long enough that I haven't been disappointed. I guess it all depends if what you want is something that lots of other people want as well. In any case, it's probably best to act quickly if it's something you really want.
Of the three event sites that I visit most often, Joss & Main is my top pick for their selection of fashionable home decor.
Comments about Joss&Main | Jossandmain.com:
Joss & Main is one of those sites that tries to seem exclusive by requiring you to join their mailing list to get a look at all the pretty home goods on their site. Once you submit your email address, they send you daily messages with their new deals. Unless you opt out of the "news letters", your inbox can quickly become clogged with offers.
Once you have access, there are so, so many pretty things to love! I usually want at least one item from each new sale, and it's sometimes difficult to choose. Unfortunately, the very best deals are snapped up almost immediately, and much of the merchandise for sale isn't much of a bargain even at half price because it was ridiculously marked up when it was first offered for sale. I am almost always able to closely replicate the looks I find at Joss & Main at local retail outlets for significantly less strain on my bank account.
Shipping is a flat $9.95, which is great if you're buying a piece of furniture, but not if you've got your eye on a throw pillow.

I want to be clear from this moment
That you won't suffer o hurt my brokenhearted
Sometimes I prefer to be rejected
Than I should search all the time your lips.
The time and distance slip us away
And a nocturnal thief gagged our lips
And when I came back because I thought it was prudent
Because I didn't want to invade you, you forgot me
Because you run in colors
I cried between my own sorrows
Then I wrote that you deserved it
Because I worth it
Because if a year ago you would had clear me
That I wasn't your type
Today I wouldn't writing blur
With teardrops in my soul
To see you happy
In arms of another guy
And I'm not by your side.

Here's a bit of chit chat about the border. This is based on the Harlequin border pattern from the Blocks Galore website. The pattern uses only one row of "diamonds" whereas I wanted two - which adds a bit of fussiness to getting it all together. But the method is the same.
First - strip the colours together. Cut the outside strips 1/2 inch wider than the inside strips.
Cut the strips to the required size. In this case I was going for one inch squares so the inside strips and the cut strips were all 1.5 inches. Outside strips were 2 inches. Times Square is the postcard inspiration for the quilt design.
The corners were a bit fussy - but that's because I did them the hard way. If you do them the easy way - shouldn't be too much trouble. My mistake is that I set the blocks all the same way - even though I knew not to - I think I'm a bit dyslexic (that's my excuse - more likely just a klutz!) and thought I reversed the direction, but didn't. Anyway - I got them altogether and I'm quite pleased with the result.


text: MISHAWAKA - Ann L. Duffy, 94, passed away on May 1, 2008, in Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center. Ann was born to Matthew and Magdaline (Stassak) Penas. Going before her was her husband, Elmore J. Duffy, who died in World War II, and her daughter, Dianne Marie Wilson, who died in 2000. Ann's life was a blessing to those who knew her, and there are many family members who survive to remember her. Ann has two grandsons, William Leigh (Catherine) Wilson, an attorney in South Bend, and Christopher M. Wilson, a neurologist in Indianapolis. Two great-grandchildren, Nicholas Marley Wilson and Emma Rose Wilson, and their mother, Kimberly L. Wilson, all of Indianapolis, also survive Ann. Her son-in-law, William Lee Wilson, also survives along with his wife, Barbara M. Wilson. Ann's family in Illinois, Shirley (Andrew) Eckel of Pontiac, Illinois, and Mary Lou (Richard) Senko of Streator, Illinois, Michael James of Bloomington, Illinois, along with their mother, Marcella B. James of Streator, also survive her. Her niece, Sharon Bruggeman of Iowa, and her nephew, Robert James of Streator, passed away before Ann. We are certain that those who went before welcomed her with open arms. Ann spent most of her life in Streator, Illinois. She worked as a registered nurse in hospitals and at the Owens glass factory at the time she retired. She moved to South Bend in the mid-1970s and lived on Brandel Avenue for many years. She later moved to the New London Lake condominiums, where she enjoyed making more friends and getting to know her neighbors. In 2002 she moved to the Waterford in Mishawaka. Ann's love of God was reflected in her strong faith and participation in the parish of Little Flower Catholic Church in South Bend. She regretted not being able to attend Mass there more often over the last few years, as going out became more difficult for her. Fortunately, she was able to attend her last Mass at Little Flower on February 23, 2008, which was celebrated in memory of her daughter, Dianne. So many people were glad to see her, and the Little Flower staff and parishioners will miss her greatly. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Little Flower Catholic Church on Monday, May 5, 2008, at 10 a.m. Her family and friends will welcome visitors for one hour in the church prior to the Mass. In light of Ann's love for her faith community at Little Flower, Ann's family requests that those wishing to honor her memory consider making a donation to the church to help reduce its debt. After 94 years, it is hard to summarize our grandmother's life in a few paragraphs. She loved everyone in her family and treasured her friendships. She cared for us in so many ways, baked far more Christmas cookies over the years than anyone could ever count, and we will miss her very, very much. Arrangements by the Welsheimer Funeral Home.

I went to my first meeting of the Triad Electric Vehicle Association (TEVA) today and met a lot of similarly minded people. There was a Tesla there to drool over and an electric go-kart for rides. I had a great time and came home very motivated to work on Murr-E. I cut another half inch out of the rear of the battery opening for comfort/clearance and welded a 3/8" rod across the rear as a stiffener for the remaining sheet metal. I made patches and welded up the openings for the deck height controls since the deck is not used on this project. I hate features that are not used that people point to and ask "What used to go there" oblivious to all the cool things that have been done. I then spent over two hours with a power wire brush cleaning off the rust and emblems seen in the picture in the previous post. The fenders are now ready for fabrication of the mounts and primer/paint.

Hey Stephen - I giggled over the Tesla to drool over comment! Too funny! Momma usually drools over great shoes, jewelry, and or a beautiful beach sunset. I guess that's what makes the world go 'round, huh?ReplyDelete
Hah! Different strokes for different folks... My wife has to shame me into buying new shoes and jewelry is right out! Sunsets and mountains are cool, but you can have the beach. I always get sand in my gadgets.ReplyDelete

Trying to find the meaning in modern art can be difficult, which is why it is often best to just sit back and be amazed. Case-in-point: 'Cornfield' from Ryuji Nakamura. 'Cornfield' is a massive wall made up of paper and glue currently on display at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
'Cornfield' from Ryuji Nakamura features thousands of tiny paper tubes glued together to form a massive room divider with a hexagonal see-through shape. While I don't know the meaning behind 'Cornfield,' I can still appreciate the creativity and artistic talent behind it.

Perseus Mining reports maiden profit of $52.5 million
Gold miner Perseus Mining (ASX & TSX:PRU) reported Tuesday a maiden profit of A$52.4-million for the 12 months ended June, after the company reported its first half year of commercial production.
The West Africa-focused miner began commercial production at its Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana on January 1, 2012, and by the end of its fiscal year, the mine had produced a total of 137,298 ounces of gold. Revenue for the year of $144.687 million was earned from the sale of 98,769 ounces of gold at an average sale price during the period of US$1,508 per ounce.
"Over the next few years, we are looking forward to building on what's been achieved to date through expanding our Edikan operation and developing our second gold mine at Sissingué in Côte d'Ivoire, confirming our transition into a company that consistently performs both in terms of cost efficient gold production and generation of attractive returns for our shareholders," said Perseus Managing Director Mark Calderwood in a statement.

I thought i'd share a very simple and inexpensive little DIY with you. Maybe you'd like to make one for yourself to brighten your own home or as and christmas gift for a friend or neighbour.
You will need:
- Jam jars
- PVA glue
- Masking tape
- Fine glitter
- Bulbs (we chose hyacinths bit other favourites are grape hyacinth and paper white daffodils)
- Potting compost
- Grit
- Moss (easily foraged for but only take what you need)
Cover your table or use a tray as this DIY is a little messy. Wash and dry your jars. When the jars are completely dry decide where you'd like your glitter to come up to and place a strip of masking tape at this point. Thin your PVA with a little water (aprox 3 parts PVA to 1 part water) use a brush to apply a thin coat of PVA all over the jar below the masking tape. Now sprinkle on your glitter, not too thickly but make sure you get good coverage. Shake off any excess. I apply the glitter over a sheet of paper or newspaper so that the unused glitter can easily be tipped back in the pot. Allow the jars to dry, this is quite quick.
Now to plant your bulbs. Firstly add a layer of grit to the bottom of the jar then add the compost. Depending on the type of bulb you are planting will depend at what lavel they need to be. Our hyacinths sat on top of the soil with a some moss around them. Other bulbs may need to be planted in the soil. Use the moss to cover the soil this not only looks lovely but helps retain moisture.
Leave your bulbs somewhere cool but frost free and dark until the shoots apear.

Fake Out Chile Verde Carnitas Tacos
Yes, I know, I have posted my Chile Verde Carnitas before. I have just tweaked it a little to be quite the versatile dish. I have been on a pulled pork taco craze lately, but wanted a totally different flavor; I have been making guajillo sauce for these dishes; this time, I used a green chile verde salsa for a tangy flavor. I love it! Hope you will, too.
I originally posted my Carnitas as part of my College Foodie series. It was served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon. But, being the Taco-holic that I am, I wanted a thicker sauce and I wanted to use the chunks of trimmed, chopped pork shoulder for my taco meat. Wonderfully diabolical plan, don't you think?
The dishes I created for my College Foodie series were affordable, fast, convenient to prepare (little to no hassle, in my point of view, perhaps not in the eyes of a college kid on the go, I do recognize!), delicious and with Just the right amount of leftovers. College kids are not too big on leftovers, I have learned (I was, so this new trend was all new to me!), therefore, having one lunch or dinner left over amounts is good, so as not to waste food. When my son goes back to college for the new fall semester, I will be back at the series again. Stay tuned for that! But, I digress. Back to business!
Let's get to the recipe. I call this my Fake Out dish, because, for the sake of time, I bought two one-pound packages of chopped up pork shoulder pieces (usually used for stews or stir fry), one large bottle of my favorite salsa verde, one large can of roasted green chiles and a can of chicken broth/stock. Rather than use a large pork butt shoulder roast and make the sauce from roasted Anaheim chiles and tomatillos and cilantro, onion and garlic, sear the roast and braise it in the homemade sauce for four or so hours, I cheated. Yes. There! I said it! I cheated!
Here is what I did to get nearly the same flavor as carnitas from scratch in a quarter of the time.
2 one pound packages of pork bits
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
1 can whole roasted green chiles, and chop into half inch squares
1 can diced roasted green chiles
1 large can corn kernels in water
1 large bottle of your favorite chunky salsa verde
1 can chicken broth or stock
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1.5 teaspoons pasilla powder (or, your favorite smoked, ground chile powder)
1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
half palm full of thme (fresh or dried)
the zest of half a lemon or lime, and the juice of one lime or half a lemon
salt and pepper to taste
extra virgin olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pot
In a large pot over medium-high heat, add extra virgin olive oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pot. When the oil ripples, add a few coriander and cumin seeds and a little garlic to flavor the oil Add the pork meat to the pot and saute. Stir immediately to mix the meat with the seeds and garlic so they do not burn. Once the meat has begun to caramelize, add the rest of the seasoning to the pot. Stir to coat the meat with the seasonings. Allow to saute at least five minutes, reducing the heat to medium to prevent seasoning from burning. Once the meat is about half cooked, add the diced and chopped green chiles and incorporate thoroughly.
Next, add the aromatics: the onion and garlic!
Stir to mix the meat and veggies very well and saute for several more minutes, about four, before you add the salsa verde (whole jar, about 20 ounces), the can of corn and the entire box or can of chicken stock (about two cups).
Stir thoroughly and allow to simmer for one hour over low heat, mostly covered. The aroma will fill your kitchen with amazing scents!
A little trick to add even more acidity: add two tablespoons or even a quarter cup of either apple cider vinegar or pickled jalapeno juice. Trust me, the flavor is incredible!
After allowing the mixture to simmer unattended, mostly, except for an occasional stirring, which is more me being happily anxious to eat than anything else, for forty-five minutes, uncover and simmer for fifteen minutes more on low-medium heat. The sauce will reduce by nearly half and thicken.
After a few minutes, you are ready to serve tacos! I used a slotted spoon to scoop up meat, corn, onions and chiles for my tacos.
The versatile part of this meal is that you can scoop out all of the meat and store separately and serve this a basically meatless soup. Or, simply serve it as soup with or without the meat!
Thanks for viewing this versatile recipe. I appreciate your time and consideration. Now, go cook something for your friends and loved ones!

HENRIK LARSSON will leave Manchester United as planned in March and return to Helsingborg, according to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
There is already a clamour for the former Barcelona and Celtic striker to extend his loan deal after the 35-year-old marked an impressive debut by scoring in the FA Cup victory against Aston Villa, today's opponents in the Premiership.
Ferguson, however, is remaining cool as the debate on the veteran's Old Trafford future continues to grow.
He said: "Henrik is here until March 12 and we are not looking beyond that.
"I do not think it is pertinent at this moment anyway.
"It would not be fair to start putting Helsingborg under that type of pressure.
"Henrik is enjoying playing here and that is the way we are going to leave it."
Larsson is pushing to retain his place in the side but he may have to spend some time on the bench during his first taste of English football.
Ferguson said: "Henrik's first game was excellent for us. It gave us an insight into the type of player he is.
"He showed last week he can be a fantastic asset to us.
"He may not play all of the games but the important thing at his age and with his experience is he will understand that.
"He has an important role and we will use him when he is fresh. Looking at the next game is an issue too and which is the most important match."
Larsson is already winning over a dressing room full of experienced internationals.
England defender Gary Neville said: "I am extremely impressed not just with his performance but also his attitude and wanting to help us win something.
"The professionalism at his age and what he has achieved is fantastic. There are great examples in football and he is one of them."
United are aiming to cement their place at the top today and keep Chelsea at arm's length.
Long-serving Neville is pleased with the strides they are making after being in the London side's slipstream in the last two seasons.
Explaining the swing in their favour, he said: "The reason is we have matured is we are a lot more consistent.
"If you add to that we have had a little bit better luck with injuries.
"We have been hit hard by injuries in the past during September and October. We are a lot better. We have proved that so far.
"Chelsea's points tally is not too far behind where they were last year. If we can continue to play in the second half of the season like we did in the first we will be in business."
United are looking to complete a hat-trick of wins against Villa, but Neville added: "It may be more difficult because they will have been used to us over the last few weeks.
"There can no excuses. We have to go and win the match whatever that takes. I am sure Villa will be as determined as they were in the previous two games."

Governor Dave Heineman will appear before the Unicameral's Revenue Committee today to talk about his proposal to eliminate the state income tax and replace it by expanding the sales tax.
Senator Tyson Larson of O'Neill says the governor's proposal would hurt farmers.
"It's obviously very concerning to those of us that represent ag communities," Larson says. "I talked with the governor before he introduced this and I said I liked the idea but he can't put an undue burden on the agricultural community because we are the number-one in the state."
Heineman's proposal would eliminate most business sales tax exemptions as well as sales tax breaks enjoyed by farmers in order to pay for the elimination of the state income tax. Larson says that's unfair.
"Ninety-eight percent of the state's exports are agricultural exports," Larson says. "We drive this state and yet he feels that since there's less ag producers in this state, they're the easy people to pick on compared to Omaha or Lincoln."
A number of sales tax breaks enjoyed by farmers would be eliminated: an exemption on agricultural chemicals which totals $87 million, an exemption on gasoline and diesel used in farming which totals $82.1 million, an exemption on tractors, combines and other farm equipment which totals nearly $67 million and an exemption on seeds for commercial use which totals $42.3 million.
Larson says the Governor should rethink some of the sales tax exemptions in his plan.
"South Dakota doesn't have a sales tax exemption on food, every pays that sales tax," he says. "I'd argue we should as well in Nebraska. Everyone eats. This needs to be spread across the board if we're going to do something of this nature."
The individual and corporate income tax in Nebraska generates $2.4 billion annually for state government. The state grants $5 billion in sales tax exemptions. The governor proposes eliminating an equivalent amount of sales tax exemptions to offset the loss of income tax revenue.

My husband has been suffering from Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder for many, many years with the last 5 being absolutely crippling. He just completed a course of CBT therapy for approx. 8 months - and this is now over (Therapist only does short term therapy). Unfortunately it had very little effect. We suspect that he was not "stable" enough for this therapy to work because he responds so little to meds. NOTE: he is currently on max. dose of Effexor and Zyprexa (and Clonazipam to sleep). He will soon be switching his meds. (we are awaiting consultation report from Psychiatrist). I understand that the best treatment in through a combination of meds. and therapy - but find it very hard to find "good" therapy.
Does anyone have a recommended type of therapy that works best for these conditions (e.g. CBT, interpersonal theraphy) or a method for determining what type of therapy a person might gain the most benefits from (based on their condition or their personality type)?
I'm really trying to find an appropriate type/Dr. for his next round of therapy because he is just about at the point of giving up on therapy and is almost unwilling to "tell his story" to one more person. This is why I don't want to just pick someone out of the "yellow pages" and would much prefer a recommendation (of type of therapy or for a specific Toronto area therapist).
He seems to have done best with male therapists who are very direct and to the point and action oriented (i.e. not too touchy-feely and not mentioning anything like "inner child", etc.).
Does anyone have any suggestions - e.g. type of therapy or an actual name of a therapist in the Toronto area? I would also like to consider Group Therapy (maybe to compliment individual therapy) as he's never tried this and I think he would benefit by having more social interactions as he currently doesn't leave the house. Any good "groups" (moderated or self-help) that anyone can recommend?
Sorry for such a long post - but I'm desparate to find someone/something he will connect with before he altogether writes therapy off.

THIS was the dramatic moment when emergency services rushed to the aid of woman whose car had plunged down a grassy bank and stopped just feet from a cliff edge.
The BMW stopped "precariously close" to a 100ft drop at North Landing, Flamborough, on Tuesday evening.
It is thought the 32-year-old driver's vehicle had careered through barriers at a nearby car park and hurtled towards the cliff edge.
The woman was airlifted to hospital following the drama.
The Coastguard, firefighters, police and the ambulance service were all involved in the rescue.
Flamborough Lifeboat was also launched and waited on standby, as there was a danger the car could have dropped over the sheer cliff into the water.
A spokeswoman for Flamborough RNLI said: "The car stopped precariously close to a drop of at least 100ft, as can be seen from the photographs.
"Thankfully, she was winched to safety by the rescue helicopter and taken to hospital.
"There is no information at this time as to why or how the car ended up in this position.
"The volunteer crew remained in the area on stand-by until they were stood down by the Coastguard."
Humberside Police said the woman was taken to hospital with a head injury and detained overnight for observations.
A spokesman for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service said: "The car was balanced precariously close to the edge of the cliff.
"The woman was conscious and, although she wasn't physically trapped, she couldn't get out of the car.
"Emergency services secured the car with a rope line and worked together to release the woman. She was put on a spine board and airlifted to hospital."
Members of the coastguard team were among the first on scene and returned to base close to midnight.
They praised the co-operation between the emergency services in freeing the casualty and transporting her to hospital.
*DOG walkers have been urged to keep dogs on a lead when walking near cliffs, after emergency services received a spate of recent calls to attend to dogs who have fallen over cliffs.
Search and rescue team members say that responding to these type of calls ties up the emergency services which affects how they can respond to other calls.

Make-Up Application is NOT "Face Beating"
I've been wanting to get this message out for some time now, and like much of my other blog ideas, overthinking turns into a major delay. Sometimes I allow the delay to turn into a complete mind change, and thus fail to post all together. This topic however, seemed to be burning inside me. I felt an urgent need to share. You may not agree with me by the conclusion, and perhaps you'll think I'm being too deep. Nonetheless, I ask that you at least consider coming into understanding of what I'm attempting to explain.
I do believe my reason to be valid, as to why I will never say "my face is beat" in reference to my make-up being beautiful, and I will never use the term in reference to the beauty cosmetics applied to another woman. If you are one who has grown accustomed to using the term, I do hope after reading this you'll reconsider the choice of habit.
For some years now I have intentionally been working to put a stop in my use of words that hold original definitions opposite of what I would truly like to convey. You know how we often say things like, "That shoe is bad", because we think it's really nice. Or "they're straight killin' the game", when someone is excelling in what they do. I made the choice to refrain, simply because I say I believe my words have power. If I hold this to be true, I found it important to think and talk as if all my words matter.
The first time I learned of the term "beating a face" in reference to applying make-up, was by a make-up artist on her instagram page. I was instantly disturbed, as her caption under a photo of a client read, "I just beat that face". It didn't sit well with me then, and still, every time I hear or read such a statement by a woman, I become bothered.
So I write this to ask: when you make the statement have you ever contemplated the number of women who have actually had their face BEAT by the hands of an abuser? Have you thought about those women who live or lived through domestic violence, and the days where they rely/relied heavily on make-up to cover their scars? The same make-up that one woman may simply apply as an enhancement, numerous victims of domestic violence use to hide wounds from a battle they did not vow to enter. That which they physically hide, doesn't even amount to wounds that are internal (mental and emotional). Understanding this, not because I've been a victim myself, but because I know women who once were, I therefore cannot bring myself to join the masses by partaking in this verbal trend.
Quite surprised this isn't being discouraged more broadly. Perhaps it's not until we have a celebrity domestic dispute highlighted repeatedly on the news, and on our social media timelines, that most remember the issue still exist in far too many lives.
Domestic Violence is a serious matter, and highly prevalent. Here are some statistics:
- On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.
- Women between the ages of 18-24 are most commonly abused by an intimate partner.
- On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.
- Only 34% of people who are injured by intimate partners receive medical care for their injuries.
- 1 in 4 women have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
I first began writing on this topic in August and for some reason struggled to wrap my thoughts around what I wanted to say. I was determined nonetheless, to finish and post this month without further delay. Well, highly befitting, as October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Having no previous knowledge of this, I took it as a sign, that what I deemed to be delayed, was actually right on time. My desire is to always post for relevance and quality and never quantity. I again passionately believe it's time for ladies who partake in the utilization of this phrase to reconsider. Remembering the women who wear bruises, and have endured what the term truly means.
If you are reading and are currently in a abusive relationship, know prayers are going forth on your behalf, and remember help is available. We are praying for your safety, for your courage, your mental, emotional and physical strength. Though we may not know you, we have deep love for YOU. You have value and purpose in this life beyond your current circumstance.
Love and TWIRLS,
Ashley Jade

In 2001, the Lorain County Commissioners seeded a bold vision to stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation in Lorain County. In an unprecedented partnership between government, the private sector, and higher education, the Lorain County Commissioners, the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce and Lorain County Community College came together to breathe life into this vision by creating GLIDE: The Great Lakes Innovation and Development Enterprise.
{mosimage}GLIDE's charter was clear: stimulate economic and job growth in Lorain County to make our community competitive in the fast developing global, technological economy.
"Ten years later, that vision has certainly been realized and expanded," said LCCC President Dr. Roy A. Church. "This one action, this first pebble in the pond, combined with a continued commitment to partnership has stimulated a ripple effect of opportunities that clearly makes Lorain County the place in Ohio for entrepreneurs to start and grow companies."
During GLIDE's first 10 years it has leveraged more than $200 million in economic impact creating a return of 62 times for the local investment. This includes additional support leveraged from government and philanthropic groups, follow-on investments in portfolio companies, revenue growth of portfolio companies and jobs created.
"Our community is fortunate to have Commissioners who recognize the importance of investing in entrepreneurship and job creation to ensure the future economic vitality of our community," said Church. "Their willingness to invest in an idea and then continue that support for a decade makes a bold statement about our leadership's commitment to ensuring Lorain County's competitiveness."
On behalf of GLIDE and the partnership, Church presented the Lorain County Commissioners with awards engraved at LCCC's FabLab recognizing each as "Champion of Innovation and Economic Growth in Lorain County" at an event July 27 at LCCC highlighting GLIDE's 10 year anniversary.
Since its inception GLIDE has advised or assisted 2,600 entrepreneurs or businesses, created 140 student/faculty business experiences, created 700 jobs by portfolio companies with an average salary of $48,000 and $60 million in revenue and $81 million in add-on investments. Forty-five of fifty GLIDE client companies are still in business.
"GLIDE's role is to educate entrepreneurs, connect them to available resources and provide mentoring to help accelerate their success and development," Church said. "With jobs for our local economy as the ultimate outcome."
Simon Melikian, a computer engineer, has had a decades-long drive to design software that can "see" objects in three dimensions, and guide robot arms in industrial tasks, to mimic how human vision guides our movements.
With a $100,000 award from the Innovation Fund, and help from the Great Lakes Innovation and Development Enterprise (GLIDE), Melikian's company has started selling a product that should soon be guiding robots on automotive assembly lines.
Recognition Robotics Inc has its offices in the Entrepreneur Innovation Center, on the LCCC campus. The company has four patents pending, and its first product, called CortexVision, teaches robots to recognize objects and their locations.
"Being a GLIDE client means you are not alone in your endeavor. You know a lot about your field, but you know little about business. GLIDE knows business and helps guide us to be successful," Melikian said.
Key milestones in GLIDE's history:
- 2001 – GLIDE created; opens with 4,000 square feet of incubation space inside the P.C. Campana Engineering and Development Center on the LCCC campus.
- 2004 – Lorain County Growth Partnership created to strategically work with Lorain County organizations and businesses to compete more effectively in regional marketplace.
- 2005 –Team Lorain County formed to attract companies to locate in Lorain County; first satellite of Team NEO regional attraction initiative.
- 2006 – IRS approves Private Letter Ruling Request to support Innovation Fund charitable status.
GLIDE recognized by state of Ohio as Edison Technology Incubator.
- 2007 – GLIDE outgrows space in Campana Center; expands to 20,000 square feet of incubation space in the Entrepreneurship Innovation Center on the LCCC campus.
Innovation Fund launches first Quarterly Application.
- 2008 – REAL Teams formed to assess needs and provide proactive systemic approach to countywide retention and expansion of businesses in Lorain County.
- 2010 – SMART Commercialization Center formed with $5.5 million in funding from Ohio Third Frontier to accelerate commercialization of sensor technologies.
- 2011 – GLIDE recognized as national model by Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and American Association of Community Colleges.
Innovation Fund America announced.

Is it true that you can cure cancer with baking soda?
Well, yes. And today I'm going to show you how.
It's absolutely simple!
Take baking soda, flour and salt in a bowl. In another large bowl, add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla and beat lightly. Gradually beat in the flour mixture and combine. Add milk slowly, and combine. Put the mix in a pre-heated oven (350 degrees F/175 degrees C) for about 30-40 minutes, cool for 10 minutes and enjoy some delicious vanilla cake while reading the following rant on why home remedies for cancer don't really work. (Complete recipe available on request!)
Every time I log on to facebook, I see at least one post about how "big pharma" is hiding the cure for cancer, which is X, to increase profits.
Now, X here, can be one of the following:
1.Baking soda
2. Grapes
3. Carrot juice
4. Vitamin B17 (LOL)
5. Black salve (Stay away from this)
6. Coconut oil (or specifically, lauric acid, a component of coconut oil)
7. Plenty of other random stuff
So, where do these social media scientists/concerned netizens/well-read researchers get these colourful ideas? Well, sometimes these ideas condense out of thin air like a magician conjuring rabbits from an empty hat. On most occasions, though, these ideas have some substance, actual scientific evidence that was a precursor to a bad interpretation and bad reporting. Old Wives' Tales gone wrong, in the information age.
Why does it matter?
Because some of these articles can be persuasive enough to make people forego conventional treatment and go for a glass of coconut oil because an article on facebook convinced them to do so.
Also, they back their content with evidence: a peer-reviewed article about coconut oil killing cancer. I am not, however, criticising the article, it's a perfectly okay article. Lauric acid (a component of coconut oil) does kill 90% of colon cancer cells. However, the lousy article on facebook skimmed over something crucial word in the original study: the words "in vitro". This basically means that lauric acid kills 90% of colon cancer cells grown in a petri-plate, NOT WHEN INGESTED BY AN ORGANISM. The same argument can be extended to any cytotoxic compound, even cyanide, which would kill 100% of any cancer cell in vitro.
Speaking of cyanide, the new star of the sham campaign is vitamin B17 (not a vitamin, I swear). Vitamin B17 (pffft…), also known as laetrile, is the synthetic form of amygdalin, a compound naturally found in some nuts. According to Cancer Research UK, there is no evidence to support that laetrile cures cancer. Any evidence therefore, is anecdotal. And as a wise man once truly said, "The plural of anecdote is not data". There is one study, however, where laetrile did kill cancer cells in vitro in the presence of an enzyme called glucosidase. Why? Because the enzyme breaks vitamin B17 down to produce cyanide. Yes, cyanide. Doesn't sound too tempting now, does it?
What about baking soda, though? Well, the famous baking soda theory says that cancers cannot survive in an alkaline environment, so drinking a solution of baking soda can help you clear out cancer. Well, again, not entirely true. Baking soda is, for now, best used for baking (cupcakes, yay!).
Misinformation is running rampant on social media, and the results can be heartbreaking. A 1o-year-old girl in El Salvador died after her parents rejected conventional treatment for her liver cancer, opting for mud treatments rubbed on her abdomen and herbal teas, instead (story here). Another woman lost half of her nose while trying to use black salve (a corrosive herbal remedy) as a treatment for her skin cancer (story here: GRAPHIC CONTENT). And this doesn't end with cancer treatment, there are multiple stories about how people mismanaged their illnesses, based on anecdotal hearsay.
Bottom line: Cancer is complex. If it wasn't, we would've cured it long ago. No matter how smart you think you are, you must ALWAYS listen to a medical professional when it comes to your health. We are not controlled by big pharma, we are not hiding a cure, and we definitely don't want to rip you off. Conspiracies can be fun (I know you secretly love watching some David Icke videos for a good laugh), but please don't make decisions on your health based on facebook stories or youtube videos. Okay? We love you.

My adorable little nephew was born last week! He is such a precious little snuggle pot and I'm feeling very lucky to be an Aunty again.
To celebrate his safe arrival, all of the extended family gathered at a local winery. It was a magical night. We had the place completely to ourselves. We sat outside drinking champagne while the sun set and the kids chased each other in and out of the vines. The celebration lasted well into the night, as we shared great food under the stars. We all stayed over in a little cottage on the property and then had possibly the best breakfast I've ever eaten at a little cafe in Koonwarra. House made crumpets, great coffee and pancakes served with fresh berries and melted chocolate. This kid is going to have a hard time topping this party when he turns one!!

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- They weren't the most positive of comments, but on a day like Friday, even Michael Ching's lukewarm endorsement of Cisco was enough to buoy the networking giant's stock.
While many stocks wallowed in the red, Cisco shares managed to hold on to gains for most of the session Friday before succumbing to selling pressure in the final hour of trading to finish the day off 4 cents, or 0.3 percent, at $14.36. The stock has fallen about 20 percent over the past week, the Merrill Lynch analyst said, due to concerns about increased pricing pressure and overall telecom trends, among other things.
In an update to investors on Cisco's CSCO, +0.57% business trends entitled "Desperately seeking stability," Ching told clients his August survey of 50 MIS managers suggests some stabilization in capital spending.
"We saw some increased pricing pressure from May, but this was consistent with the levels we saw last November," Ching wrote in a research note. "Our survey also suggests that additional IT budget cuts for 2001 are unlikely, and that IT budgets for 2002 will likely be higher."
More managers than in the last survey in May reported declines in the 1 to 5 percent range than the 6 to 10 percent range, Ching said, which he views as positive, but a higher number of managers reported price declines of more than 10 percent, which could be viewed as a potential negative.
Also indicating modest optimism, he said, is the fact that more than 80 percent of the respondents expected spending to be flat to up in 2002. And, the survey also suggested that Cisco remains the dominant vendor for many MIS managers.
Still, he noted, that in the last few weeks he has reduced his capital spending outlook and optical spending forecast while identifying excess IP routing port capacity - issues that he said are likely to cap Cisco's price appreciation in the very near-term.
Despite these issues, Ching continues to believe the first quarter is on track. His forecast is for earnings of 2 cents a share on sales of $4.2 billion. For 2002, he is estimating earnings of 13 cents a share on sales of $17.4 billion.
Given these estimates, Ching believes the shares are "relatively attractive" but he acknowledged that as long as a bleak backdrop for telecom equipment spending exists, share price appreciation is likely to be limited.
Ching rates Cisco shares an "intermediate-term accumulate, long-term buy."

Mushrooms in cancer treatment
Read what we know about mushrooms and mushroom extracts in cancer care.
Many websites discuss using mushrooms to treat cancer. From time to time this also comes up in the media.
There is currently no evidence that any type of mushroom or mushroom extract can prevent or cure cancer.
There are many different types of mushroom, which are part of the fungus family. In countries such as Japan, China and Korea , particular types of mushroom form a large part of the diet.
In recent years, research has looked into different types of mushroom and mushroom extracts or compounds. Studies have looked at whether mushrooms can prevent cancer, stop the growth of cancer cells, reduce cancer treatment side effects, or help people with advanced cancer to live longer.
UK mushrooms
Button mushrooms and flat mushrooms are commonly eaten in the UK. They are very good for you and contain all the essential amino acids and are a good source of vitamins. But there is no evidence that they can prevent or treat cancer.
Exotic mushrooms
Exotic mushrooms are found in areas such as Japan, Korea and China. They include varieties such as the shiitake, enoke and oyster mushroom.
In the UK, powdered shiitake, maitaki and reishi (also called ganoderma) mushrooms are available. You can also sometimes get preparations of their juices. These are sold in health food shops. As far as we know, there is nothing in the mushrooms or compounds that would be harmful but we don't currently know how helpful they are in cancer care.
Mushrooms in Chinese medicine
Practitioners of Chinese medicine use more than 100 species of mushroom as treatments for a wide range of illnesses. There are different ways of taking these mushrooms. You eat them fresh or dried or take extracts as food supplements.
Mushrooms alongside cancer treatments
In China, Japan and Korea they sometimes use purified mushroom compounds alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
In 2000, a report published by Cancer Research UK and the University of Strathclyde looked at different types of mushroom and cancer. The review found some Japanese studies that used a particular type of exotic mushroom extract a week before people started cancer treatment. The extract appeared to reduce the side effects of both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, including sickness and hair loss.
Mushrooms and the immune system
Some studies seemed to show that these mushrooms could stimulate the immune system to fight disease. There is some evidence from a Japanese study that people who eat a particular type of mushroom all their lives have a lower risk of getting cancer. The mushrooms did seem to affect the cancer in some people. But we have to be very cautious about the results because most of these early trials were not randomised or controlled. So, there was no proper comparison made between patients having the mushrooms and similar patients not being treated with mushrooms or drugs developed from mushrooms. So the studies can't really show whether the mushrooms helped or not.
Recent research
Some more recent research has looked at some particular mushrooms and their extracts. This includes:
Shiitake mushrooms are native to East Asia but are grown worldwide for their supposed health benefits. They are valued in some cultures as an anti cancer agent.
The fresh and dried forms of the mushroom are commonly used in East Asian cooking. Extracts from the mushroom, and sometimes the whole dried mushroom, are used in herbal remedies.
One shiitake extract called lentinan is a beta glucan. This is a type of complex sugar compound. Beta glucan is believed to stimulate the immune system and trigger certain cells and proteins in the body to attack cancer cells. In laboratory studies, it seems to slow the growth of some cancer cells.
In mice, lentinan has been shown to stop bowel cancer cells growing. In laboratory tests, the protein part of lentinan (lentin) can stop some fungal cells growing. It can also stop leukaemia cells dividing.
Some Japanese researchers give lentinan along with chemotherapy to treat patients with lung, nose, throat, and stomach cancers.
A recent clinical trial didn't show that it helped to treat prostate cancer. Some doctors in Japan use another shiitake extract called eritadenine.
There is limited evidence that lentinan, given alongside chemotherapy, could help some patients with advanced stomach cancer.
We need larger scale studies before we will know how shiitake extracts can help people with cancer.
More clinical trials are currently under way to understand which compounds in shiitake mushrooms might work as cancer treatments.
Maitake mushrooms and the maitake D-fraction prepared from them contain the sugar compound called beta glucan (sometimes called beta glycan).
Japanese studies using an injectable type of maitake-D have found that it boosted the immune system and slowed or stopped the spread of breast and liver cancer in animal studies.
A phase 1 study in the USA is looking to see whether beta glucan can help a biological therapy called rituximab to work better. It is for young patients with lymphoma or leukemia that has come back after previous treatment.
Another trial is looking at whether maitake extract affects breast cancer.
A US study tested another complex sugar compound from maitake mushrooms called grifola frondosa in breast cancer patients.
The study aimed to find out if the extract affected the immune system. Patients took the extract by mouth for 3 weeks. The researchers took blood tests to measure any effects.
One patient stopped taking the extract because of sickness and joint swelling. Another stopped because of a rash and itching.
The researchers found that the extract boosted some immune functions but slowed others. We don't yet know whether this compound can help the immune system to fight cancer.
A Brazilian study gave patients agaricus sylvaticus mushrooms as part of their diet after bowel cancer surgery.
It found that patients who had the mushrooms had a better quality of life compared to patients who didn't have the mushrooms.
The benefits included:
- more ability to do physical exercise
- less feeling sick
- better mood
- fewer aches and pains
- better sleep
- better appetite
- less abdominal pain, especially after eating
- fewer bowel problems such as constipation, diarrhoea, and wind
Used for centuries in Eastern Ancient medicine, this extract is believed to refresh bodies and extend life.
Phellinus linteus is known as song gen in Chinese medicine, sang-hwang in Korean and meshimakobu in Japanese.
Recent studies have shown that this type of mushroom extract slows the growth of breast cancer cells in the laboratory. It has also been shown to have anti cancer effects on skin, lung and prostate cancer cells.
One study showed that when used in combination with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin, the extract increased the number of prostate cancer cells killed.
We have to be cautious about such early research. Substances that can kill cells in laboratory conditions don't necessarily turn out to be useful treatments in people.
Safety of mushroom and mushroom extracts
There are no known side effects from eating normal amounts of mushrooms in our diet. Mushroom extracts are classed as dietary supplements.
Most of these supplements have not been tested to find out if they interact with medicines, foods, or other herbs and supplements.
Shiitake mushroom extracts are generally considered safe, although there are some reports of diarrhoea or bloating.
With other types of mushroom there are some reports of allergic reactions affecting the skin, nose, throat, or lungs.

First off, I have no affiliation with Restaurant.com, or with Vegas. I just enjoy saving money and eating a lot of food.
On our recent trip to Las Vegas for the 2011 RnR Las Vegas half marathon, The Wife and I decided to try out Restaurant.com. This is a website that offers "vouchers" for a list of restaurants, and sells them for a few dollars. Typically, you can get a "$25 off of a minimum purchase of $35" voucher for about $2. At first, this seems like a slam dunk of a deal. But when you read the fine print, it's not as clear. When you use these vouchers, there is an automatic 18% gratuity added to your bill, and it cannot be used toward tax/tip. So, your bill has to be $35 for food/drink, then they add tax and an 18% gratuity, then they take off $25. We figured that we would still end up saving around $10 per meal by using these vouchers. We did some investigating and ended up with 6 different vouchers.
I should mention that these vouchers can be purchased in a number of different denominations, and the discount is not always the same. Sometimes it is $10 off of $25, or $25 off of $35, or $50 off of $100 and so on. It really just depends on where you are planning on going and what you would normally eat. For us, the $25 off of $35 seemed like the best deal.
Figuring out which places to eat at was kind of a pain in the butt. It's pretty hard to tell, without having been to any of these places, which place is going to be a dump and which one is going to be nice. It actually took me a fair amount of time to decide on the 6 places that I chose. Even still, we had no idea if these deals would work out.
The first voucher we used was for Aromi d'Italia. For the amount of food we ate, it ended up being a great deal. I'm not going to go into exactly what we ate and how much it cost, just know that it was worth it. In fact, every one of our vouchers ended up being a good deal. So, if you're headed to Vegas and looking for some good places to eat and want to use a Restaurant.com voucher, try these places:
Aromi d'Italia
Coconut's Beach Bar and Mexican Grill
The Alexis Garden restaurant
Strip Burger
I know I said we had 6 vouchers, and we did. We actually had 2 vouchers for Aromi d'Italia, so we ate there twice (I'll get to this in a moment), and we had one for El Segundo Sol, which we didn't have time to eat at, unfortunately (but it looked very, very good!).
Part of the stipulations of these vouchers is that you are only allowed to use one restaurant specific voucher, per party, per month. In other words, you can only use a coupon at the same restaurant one time per month. We knew that this was printed on the coupon, but we figured we'd just try it a few days apart, and they didn't seem to care. Now, had we gone in on consecutive days, maybe they would, but whatever.
Next time you're going on vacation, why not try out restaurant.com and see if there's anything on there that looks good! We did, and it seemed to work out pretty well!

This is an 8" sponge cake I made for a girl who was having a riding party. Her mum had ordered some pink and purple rosettes for the party so I wanted to include a rosette on the cake with the number on. I modelled the pony in sugar paste and also a wooden style fence around the sides. I made the horse shoes in grey sugar paste by cutting out circles then smaller circles within them, marking the nail holes with a piece of spaghetti, then dusting them with silver edible powder. The rosette was simply made from different sized circles, with the edges frilled using a cocktail stick then arranged one on top of the other. To finish it off I added some apples, grass and blossom flowers. You could alter the colours of the pony as you liked. If I did another pony I might make the tail,fringe and mane in black instead. I brushed over the eyes with confectioner's glaze to add a little shine.

Fabulous cake, thanks for sharing.
I would love to make this cake for my daughter, but have no idea on how to make the sugarpaste horse. Could you possibly supply instructions for that, or point me to a book that would show me how.
Many thanks

I used instructions for the pony from a Maisie Parrish book called "Fun and original Character Cakes".It costs £14.99 but you may find a copy cheaper on Amazon.

I have been dabbling with Grails of late, for a pet project. NetBeans comes with a sufficiently usable support for Grails. The other day, while installing a plugin using NetBeans, I stumbled upon this confusing UI. For anyone who has worked with the Grails command line, the list of plugins is self explanatory. However, what got me was the way to install the plugin once I select it in the list.
See that 'Install' button there? It is so close to the plugin location field. It doesn't catch your eye since it somehow feels related only to the plugin location field. Also, the dialog poses questions to me when I look at it, questions which can only be answered by trial-and-error, which is bad:
"Am I able to select multiple plugins from the list and install them with one click?"
Turns out that I can't. Then again, not many folks need to install many plugins in one go. But some indication might have helped. You see, GUIs are supposed to be one up over command lines, so I was assuming multi select is possible, only to try out and find it otherwise.
"Am I able to select a plugin from the list and specify another plugin's location in the field and install both of them with one click?
Again, an extremely rare use case. This is very similar to scenarios you might have while installing NetBeans plugins themselves and the UI there makes it very clear what can be done simultaneously and what cannot be. Below is the screen shot of the NetBeans Plugins Installation UI.
As can be seen above, the NetBeans Plugins UI has two tabs – one for plugins available from the update center, and another for installing plugins from your hard disk.
And since NetBeans is an open source project, the action item for me is to check out the sources, implement the fix and submit the patch for evaluation and inclusion into NetBeans 6.9. Stay tuned for updates.
