This article is from the WebMD Feature Archive
15 cancer symptoms women ignore
Women tend to be more vigilant than men about getting recommended health check-ups and cancer screenings, according to studies and experts.
They're generally more willing, as well, to get potentially worrying symptoms checked out, says cancer specialist Dr Mary Daly.
However, that is not always the case. Younger women, for instance, tend to ignore symptoms that could point to cancer. "They have this notion that cancer is a problem of older people," Daly tells us. They're often right, but plenty of young people get cancer, too.
Of course, some women are as skilled as men are at switching to denial mode. "There are people who deliberately ignore their cancer symptoms," says Dr Hannah Linden, another cancer specialist. It's usually denial, but not always, she says. "For some, there is a cultural belief that cancer is incurable, so why go there."
Talking about worrying symptoms shouldn't make people overreact, says Dr Ranit Mishori, an assistant professor of family medicine. "I don't want to give people the impression they should look for every little thing," she says.
With that healthy balance between denial and hypochondria in mind, we asked experts to talk about the symptoms that may not immediately make a woman worry about cancer, but that should be checked by a doctor. Read on for 15 possible cancer symptoms women often ignore.
1: Unexplained weight loss
Many women would be delighted to lose weight without trying. However, unexplained weight loss - say 10 pounds in a month without an increase in exercise or a decrease in food intake - should be checked, Dr Mishori says.
It could, of course, turn out to be another condition, such as an overactive thyroid.
Expect your doctor to run tests to check the thyroid and perhaps order a CT scan of different organs. The doctor needs to "rule out the possibilities, one by one," Dr Mishori says.
2: Bloating
Bloating is so common that many women just live with it. However, persistent bloating could point to ovarian cancer. Other symptoms of ovarian cancer include abdominal pain or pelvic pain, feeling full quickly - even when you haven't eaten much - and urinary problems such as having an urgent need to go to the toilet.
If the bloating occurs almost every day and persists for more than a few weeks, you should consult your doctor. Expect your doctor to take a careful history and order a scan and blood tests, among others.

This should have been done years ago. Too many controversial calls! Let's get it right!
Major League Baseball owners unanimously approved funding for expanded instant replay in 2014.
Approving funding is the first step for MLB to have full-blown instant replay next season. Right now only home runs can be reviewed.
But next season every decision likely will be subject to review, except balls and strikes, checked swings and some foul tips.
The owners plan to approve the new rules when they meet in January after agreements with the unions for umpires and players.

This was a very good recipe. I used homemade tomato instead of store bought. I really liked the red sauce/white sauce combination. Made some for the freezer too.

Amazon doesn't sell Nintendo hardware. Have no idea why, but I'm sure someone here can explain.
Well from what I remember reading online and on CAG before is that Amazon was getting upset with returned 3DS units that were getting scratched from when they were shut closed. Apparently that is a possible issue with the original 3DS though I haven't had it happen to mine. Anyways at some point Amazon and Nintendo got into it over who was responsible for paying for the replacement units, the fact this was an issue with the units, etc. No one knows for sure if it was Amazon who decided to cut ties with Nintendo in regards to selling any of their hardware or if Nintendo got pissed at Amazon and decided to not use them as a vendor for their hardware. Anyways that is what I remember reading online and through CAG sometime last year. I don't have a link to any official story but I remember reading this reason through several sources so take that for what it is worth. You could probably google about it

GS advertised price drop = taking credit for an MSRP drop
How is advertising a price drop taking credit for MSRP? They are advertising that the price of a game has dropped. Advertisements are used to inform people. Without advertising that the MSRP has dropped, how would people know that the price is lower? If you are implying that Gamestop uses the term "Price Drop" to take credit for MSRP, I would have to say you are wrong. There is a difference between sale and price drop. Would you prefer Gamestop to say "MSRP Drop"? They are a business and if they were to do that they would be informing customers that they can receive the same product elsewhere for the same price and that would be a terrible business practice.

Since this occurred, Amazon most likely was saying that Nintendo needed to repair the units and change their manufacturing. Nintendo probably thought that Amazon's return policy was too lenient and that it wasn't their responsibility. The same thing happened with the recent Beatles Vinyl Box on Amazon, so many returns came in due to bad pressings that various Amazon regions stopped selling it since EMI wasn't claiming responsibility in some cases.
If Amazon was smart they would carry the XL, DSi, and Wii U, but most likely it's an all or nothing thing if they want to sell Nintendo hardware. Both companies are losing out by not making a deal.
Actually the truth of the matter is that Nintendo overproduced Earthbound, they made a large initial run of it because they thought it would be a success, it is not rare. If they couldn't even sell their initial run how did they "not produce enough copies"? That is of course, unless you are talking about producing copies for resellers 20 years in the future.
fyi Nintendo didn't produce enough copies of earthbound because it didn't sell well

Is that a good price on Just Dance 4?
Sure it is! Not to mention Hip Hop Experience. I've already have both but under $20 is definitely my price point. Wii U version is also $19.99 but I'd pass any dancing games that require controller.

Wasnt sure where else to ask but is it true you can't use shopyourway points to buy PSN cards? They gave me 7 to use and when I went to use it, they said I can't use it on those kinda cards.
I have always used mine for points cards with no problems.

So is Crysis 3 any good? Especially for those who have never played a Crysis game before?
I might bite on the 40 dollar Crysis 3 sale if people give favorable responses.
I haven't played it yet but it'll probably be a better buy for someone who has never played a Crysis game, especially since it seems to be more of the same.
I know I don't have any plans on buying it unless it gets $5-10. Crysis 2 didn't leave a very good impression on me.

Thats what mine looks like lately. Now I have seen 3 out of 6 stores around me closed down, and I wonder if the rest will stay open as they are empty most of the time as well.
I can't even look forward to anything from Kmart anymore. For the last 4 months my local Kmart barely carries any video games and the electronics worker says they get 1 or 2 new release copies if they are lucky, but mostly don't receive any. The selection of games is so sad it looks like a yard sale.
Posted 18 March 2013 - 01:29 PM
Who did it first? Is it currently $29.99 at Gamestop?
Does amazon say "Look at me, look at me"? and send out e-mails or fliers advertising this price?
Does amazon charge more for used games then games on sale?
Would I get an opened game if I bought it new from amazon?
We all need to ignore this troll. He keeps spitting the same stuff about GameStop over and over. We know how you feel dude. Move on.
I have a suggestion for you. Next time you see a GameStop thread, just pass it by and we will be good.
By the way, I have bought new CDs and a blu-ray from amazon and were not sealed.
Posted 18 March 2013 - 01:37 PM
If you're Silver you're still covered to PM for 60 days up until April 18th.
Was hoping that was still the case, thanks. Will Pm DS3.

Cadet RMC151W (63315) Register Plus Wall Heater, White
Wall Heater has a clean, low-profile design and quiet operation for comfortable, wall-mounted electric heat. Often chosen for its similar appearance to a central system register vent, the Register features a large squirrel cage blower that quietly provides increased airflow allowing for lower surface and air-at surface temperatures. It features a commercial-grade steel element for durability and is designed for optimal warm-air circulation at any heat setting. Comes packaged with a wall can and white grille.
- Color: white
- Complete unit
- Watts 120V: 500/ 1000/ 1500
- Amps 120V: 4.17/ 8.33/ 12.50
- Commercial grade steel element
- Squirrel cage blower provides increased airflow, allowing for lower surface temperatures and quiet operation
- Can be installed with mounting legs horizontally in wall cavity or vertically on sill plate to minimize installation time
- Thermal Safeguard: High temperature manual reset turns off heater if normal operating temperatures are exceeded
- Clean, low-profile appearance with a white, powder-coated paint finish
- In-wall, fan-forced electric heater resembles a central-system register vent
Can I install the Register heater in the ceiling?
No, the Register heater is not U.L. approved for ceiling mount.
Can I install the Register heater above the doorway?
Since heat rises, it is not recommended and inefficient to install a Register heater above the doorway.
Can I install the Register heater in a closet?
Cadet does not recommend installing heaters in a closet. The presence of clothing and other articles could restrict or block the airflow of the heater. If an appropriately sized wall heater is installed in the room, the closet will also be heated.
Can I install my fan heater in an insulated wall?
Yes, it is acceptable to install the heater in an insulated or a non-insulated wall.
If I use the surface mount can, do I need the wall can?
Yes, a wall can is required.
Why does Cadet recommend installing heaters on an inside wall?
Outside walls are insulated, so this would require a break in the insulation seal, possibly allowing cold air into the room. It would also compromise the accuracy of an in-built thermostat.

When caring for a sword collection, it's important to be aware of the factors that can cause damage to the blades and hilts of swords. The leading cause of damage to collectible swords is the oil from human fingers. For example, if the blade is touched by human hands and then not wiped clean, small stains will develop that can cause blemishes to appear over time. These blemishes are near impossible to remove after appearing, so it's important to avoid touching the blade when possible, and if touched, remove the oils with a soft rag or even a t-shirt. The same principles can apply to the hilt and all other areas of the sword that are metal.
In order to store collectible swords, it's best to keep them on a wall rack to avoid them becoming damaged. Most collectible swords don't have sharp edges, so never attempt to cut or hack at an object or risk damaging the blade. For swords with sharp edges, be careful to exercise caution, and keep out of reach of small children and even older children. Collectible words are still weapons and can be dangerous.

The lagging economy can't stop Atlanta's restaurants from setting a pace that's continually being recognized nationally. We have great restaurants, and we're not afraid to show it. With the entire ruckus, a brand new breed of regional cuisine has emerged. Restaurants that exude modernity while embracing what's best about Southern cooking have blossomed as examples of what's best about Atlanta dining now: farm-fresh ingredients, artisanal methods from cheese making to butchery and the love of preserving. Plus there's always dessert, something these restaurants prove is at the top of any great Southern menu. These six restaurants exemplify what's best about Atlanta restaurants now.
1170 Howell Mill Road, inside the White Provision complex, Atlanta, 404-892-3335
Atlanta's most lauded restaurateurs, Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison, have created in Abattoir a personal statement that has already become, after recently opening this past summer, a benchmark in Atlanta dining. Much has been made of the meat-centric menu, created by Quatrano and chef Joshua Hopkins. But eating here is about so much more than offal, alternative meat cuts and innards. The vegetables, whether in a crisped salad of fresh farm lettuces crowned with a poached egg and bacon or in a pickling of cabbage served from a jar, are as much a reason to crow about Abattoir as the chicken liver and foie gras mousse laced with Armagnac. Add a weathered, modern farmhouse look, an excellent cocktail list and a staff that pleases, and Abattoir may be the best reason yet to embrace your inner carnivore while eating your veggies.
54 W. Ponce de Leon Ave., Decatur. 404-377-7994
Chef-owner Billy Allin and wife Kristin have created in Cakes & Ale the perfect balance between farm fresh (the couple grows many of the vegetables on the menu in their back yard) and friendly. The menu, drawn nightly on a large blackboard, is part seasonal, part standard and all genius: My last meal here offered crisped spears of okra (soon to be gone, I'm sure), perfect in heat and texture, lightly battered with cornmeal to be dipped in house-made ranch dressing. Order your own; they are not to be shared. Ditto the hot orbs of arancini, laced with bee pollen and fennel, served in a papered cone like fair food. Fish is something Allin cooks better than most chefs in the city, even though the fresh corn and pole beans in brodo under a halibut steak could stand on their own. Desserts, from pastry chef Cynthia Wong, are playfully plebian: The soft, cream-filled "phatty cakes" have become city legend, and warm chocolate pudding with soft cream served in a pickling jar will conjure memories of mom's apron strings. Editor's note: If you're noticing an extra star at the end of the restaurant's name, that's because there is one: No restaurant has proved its mettle more than Cakes & Ale since it's opening, so it's gone from a three- to four-star status.
4th & SWIFT ****
621 North Ave. N.E., Atlanta, 678-904-0160
The space is classic Atlanta: a roomy, cavernous affair drawn from the remnants of the Southern Dairies building; the stylish bar drapes one side of the massive room while a modern dining room is set on another. Both set the stage for chef-owner Jay Swift's contemporary Southern menu. And from soup to nuts, Swift delivers – his soups are always a best start to a meal here, from creamy roasted corn to more fall-like inspirations of butternut squash with maple cream. A plate of Berkshire pork belly, loin, and house-made sausage has become a signature, served with the restaurant's decadent macaroni-and-cheese. Swift's hand is subtle, and it's not unusual to see heirloom vegetables highlighted as nightly specials.
1198 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta. 404-355-2252
JCT Kitchen has, from the start, exemplified what's best about modern Southern cooking. Chef-owner Ford Fry adds to fresh, well-sourced ingredients classical French technique and Southern sensibilities, creating a menu that turns our timeless notion of how we cook on its ear. From his otherworldly fried chicken (part crispy, part juicy) with mac-and cheese so rich and creamy it should have its own zip code to "angry" mussels spiced and peppered with serrano chile, bacon and a bit of onion in a broth that borders on creaminess, this kitchen offers a tasty take on all that's right about the Southern dining now. Desserts set the bar high for other offerings; rarely do I find anything to argue about with milky, sugar-and-rum sopped tres leches topped with coconut, or soft gingerbread pudding cake with tart Meyer lemon curd. Barkeep Lara Creasy adds a sexy dimension to the cocktails, too: Try her "fields of gold" with Number 209 gin, chamomile-infused vermouth, local honey, lemon juice and fennel pollen.
620 Glen Iris Drive, Atlanta. 404-870-8707
Alluring Medjool dates wrapped with bacon and stuffed with marcona almonds notwithstanding, Repast's menu has become a reflection of chef-owners and husband-and-wife team Joe Truex and Mihoko Obunai's yin yang of talents and tastes. I'm not a fan of the all-Eastern selections, such as the congee-like lobster and king crab nabe yaki, but when these two put their heads together in the kitchen the results are a blessed meeting of East meets South. Stewed and curried okra with peanuts and dishes such as crab cakes "Repast style," which are firmer and more purin pudding-like than their Western counterparts, marry Truex's Southern roots with Obunai's Japanese ancestry. And the truffled corn, creamed and served au gratin, is just plain mind numbing, no matter what side of the planet you're on. Desserts are always special, and where Obunai's touch is most appreciated, from a creamy olive oil cake with marcona almond ice cream to coconut cream in a crispy jasmine rice tart.
1029 Edgewood Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-577-4358
When chef-owner Shaun Doty's eponymous restaurant in Inman Park opened in 2007, it was instantly to Atlanta what the Savings & Loan was to Bedford Falls: a genuine place to go and, in the restaurant's case, eat. Since then, the East Village style chicken livers over toast, steak frites with fries "graisse de carnard" style and pork schnitzel with lemon and peanuts have become some of the best reasons to eat out in Atlanta. Doty cooks seasonally, so things change here as much as they remain the same, but let's hope he always manages to keep the sticky toffee pudding on the menu, no matter the season. Its gooey, sticky butterscotch-y goodness gets my vote as one of the best desserts the city has to offer.

Lame like the real Obarky…nice restaurants are not on the socialist agenda…nobody deserves these kinds of lavish dining when others are hungry, right? So if you cannot bring a homeless family with you to dine and pay for their bill, you shouldnt be eating out…save your tips for the homeless guys peering in thru the windows…they need it more than the servers who actually earned it…just basic Obarky idiotology…

Oh as long as everyone is throwing out restaurants that should have been chosen… Meredith, what happened? No La Pietra Cucina? I mean every meal we've had there has been pitch perfect. The service has been solid to spectacular and the waitrons have never steered us wrong with their wine suggestions and come on, just slightly over 100 with a generous tip for two drinks, a salad, an appetizer, two entrees and two desserts? Where else in this city are you going to get that kind of a deal on such a great dinner?
October 31st, 2009

Well the photos of the food do not inspire me to go eat. The foie gras mousse looks glue with old grease on top. The chickenlivers are out of focus –probably to be artsy–and thus who can tell? The gingerbread looks good but that lemon curd looks nasty.
As to the restaurants. I have been to several that Ms. Ford-Goldman has reviewed favorably. I also trust the reports of friends who have done likewise. We have never found one with which we agree with Ms. F-G. I think our new rule might be if Ms. F-G likes it we will eat elsewhere.

Whoops, I meant Glorious, not Gloria.

I agree with Gloria on her first point… "Your best bet is usually in your own kitchen". I buy a bottle of great wine and then plan a dinner around it or have an idea for something and bounce it off my friend Michelle, who just happens to work at a wine store, and flesh it out. This year, after planting our first garden, I've made a killer gazpacho with habanero, basil granita and creme fraiche, crab cakes with a pear, candied walnut, goat cheese "crudo", amazing carolina pork tacos with chipolte crema and caramelized globe peaches with a truffled acacia honey and gorgonzola ice cream among man others. And generally everything was around 50 bucks or less for two people, depending on the wine. Yes it's a splurge, but I'd rather spend 50 bucks and get great service in an intimate "chef's kitchen" with no bumbling, no attitude and not have to worry about driving home tipsy.
I'm just glad when we do want to have a nice meal out that we have Haven and Valenza within walking distance. They're always solid and the service is always solid for the most part, though there has been a little noticeable turnover lately.

michelle and i want to remind all of you to plant your survival gardens so that you will have a better chance of fresh food in the coming months as things slow to a crawl and big AG fails us too…
we love to eat fresh foods from the garden, and michelle loves to shop the local farmers' markets while tying up traffic all over the district of criminals…nobody said takin it over would be easy on you.

Your best bet is usually in your own kitchen. Very few places are worth the money these days.Don't waste your money at Serpas. That place is an over-priced dump. If you think Serpas is great, they must have paid you.

Quoth the French existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre: "Hell is other people."
It's a heck of a philosophy to build a record around, but one that struck a chord with American Princes. Not only does the Little Rock band reference Sartre in the title of their excellent 2008 release, Other People, they also inject their power-pop with a good dose of his social unease. Co-frontmen Collins Kilgore and David Slade take turns intoning jittery refrains such as, "I have never felt so alone," and "You can't change yourself / You can't change the world." Sounds pretty bleak on paper, yet the power of this group lies in their ability to deliver anxious manifestos as hook-laden rock on par with the Wrens and Hot Hot Heat.
Daedal and fearless, Other People takes listeners on a brilliant joyride through pop, new wave, even a little reggae. One thing's for certain, paranoia never felt so good.

I know it's been a while, but I just can't resist taking a friendly shot at Dutchy, especially when he opens himself up for it like a barn door. In last week's blog, I made mention to the fact that Dutchy had said "there are no big fights" coming up. Like the proverbial kiss of death, a Dutchy prediction is almost guaranteed to have the opposite effect.
In back-to-back weekends, and this past weekend, in back-to-back fights, boxing in its most savage beauty was front and centre. Last week we all witnessed the epic battle between Marcos Maidana and Erik Morales, we watched in utter amazement as Nobuhiro Ishida shocked previously unbeaten James Kirkland with a three-knockdown, first round demolition, and I was a first-hand witness to Marco Antonio Rubio's come-from-behind win over previously unbeaten David Lemieux. In retrospect, last weekend's fights appeared to be a precursor to this weekend's continuing shocking upsets.
Foxwoods Casino was the first stop as previously undefeated WBC World Welterweight champion Andre Berto put his title on the line against the enigma named Victor Ortiz.
Blessed with an abundance of talent, and ticketed as a future star of the sport, Ortiz suffered a huge setback when he was stopped by Marcos Maidana two years ago and then tripped over another hurdle when he experienced a huge meltdown late in the fight against Lamont Peterson last December and escaped with a draw. For Ortiz, this fight against Berto was his last at-bat.
For the 27-year-old Berto, this would be the sixth defence of the title he won back in 2008. With 21 KO's in 27 wins, it was clear why he was the heavy favourite going in.
From the opening bell, both fighters came looking to impose their will. In a knockdown, drag out affair, this fight will easily find its way alongside the Maidana-Morales slugfest as a candidate for fight of the year. As well, not only did this fight more than live up to the hype, not only did both fighters show incredible heart by picking themselves up off the canvas on more than one occasion, but incredibly this fight would go into the books amazingly controversy-free. No bad calls, no missed fouls, no horrific scorecards. This one was just an old fashioned war, between to extremely courageous warriors.
And I for one tip my hat to both of them!
OK, so now with one outstanding fight in the books let's tune in and get a look at the WBO World featherweight title fight from Bayamon, Puerto Rico where hometown hero and crowd favourite Juan Manuel Lopez put his title on the line against former champion Orlando Salido.
For the record, Salido was coming off a unanimous decision loss to the outstanding Cuban WBA Super-Featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa. In an effort to continue building the much-anticipated showdown between Gamboa and Juanma, Top Rank brought in Salido to test Lopez and stir interest in a Gamboa fight. The logic was brilliant. As Salido had lost a decision to Gamboa, the worst that Top Rank could have envisioned was Lopez winning a decision which would simply stir debate as to who would win when the two eventually faced off. The best scenario would have been for Juanma to stop Salido anytime before the limit and spark even greater debate as to who would win between the two. Top Rank's only gamble, and it was a longshot at best, was that Salido would win. Like I said earlier, this was a weekend of upsets and a weekend of candidates for fight of the year.
In another thrilling back-and-forth contest, Juanma and Salido unleashed in a furious manner as Juanma jumped into the early lead. Salido - not to be denied - stormed back in round 4, and in round 5 dropped Lopez hard. In customary fashion, Lopez, showing incredible heart, rose and battled back hard in round 7. In round 8 however, Salido emerged from his corner hell-bent on stopping Lopez in front of his hometown crowd. In a wild round, Salido hurt Lopez and had him defenceless on the ropes before the referee moved in to wave the fight off.
There was some question as to the stoppage, as Lopez, although badly hurt, did not get hit with anything of note when the fight was stopped. In my opinion the referee panicked slightly at the possibility of Lopez being hit with a bomb.
While the pro-Lopez crowd voiced their discontent, Salido was elated.
From personal experience, I can assure you, there is no better feeling in the world than walking into the opponent's hometown and leaving with the victory, or in this case with the title. It's an even purer ecstasy when you do it as a prohibitive underdog.

Seriously. The irony. Pre-internet commenting I could be ignorant of the fact that such ignorant people existed. Now I have no choice but to accept it. I'd rather have my ignorance back than have to accept the ignorance of people on the internet.
Labeling your opponent with something like 'racist' or 'sexist' or 'pro-abortion', you are shutting down any kind of discussion.
Maybe it should shut down conversation because you clearly need time to think about why you support/apologize for racism, sexism or whatever bigoted beliefs to which you have a problem admitting you subscribe. See: sometimes racist, sexist and other bigoted voices need to be shut down, since they're toxic and all. If someone isn't giving your backward views a forum, that is a good thing. (W/apologies to the ACLU.)
And also, not all issues warrant discussion. Period. They don't. Slavery had a lot of discussion. Years and years worth of discussion. Who did that benefit? I'm sure southern white supremacists felt it very unfair when abolitionists called them racist idiots, but…uh…they deserved it.
The belief that all issues are entitled to discussion is not just ignorant but naive and frankly a bit immature.
Love seeing Fakes own the internet idiots! Hahaha.
We wipubwicans didn't get enough time to talk about da helfcare.
Because from 1776 to present was somehow not enough time.
It's true, not all conflicts deserve debate. That's pre-school bullshit and this is not romper room. Whether or not millions of people should have access to affordable healthcare? That's one of those topics that doesn't deserve debate.
Grow up.
is not their audacity, though they have it in droves. It's their desperation for relevance. It's their hope that the American public will turn a blind eye to all their ignorance, negativity, spite and mediocrity and find them relevant. Inexplicably, undeservedly relevant.
You people will never, ever be relevant.
Well made video of some guys at Howard University schooling us all.
…using the phrase "gay weddings". Just "weddings". Weddings are events, weddings do not have sexual orientations.

the Army for clearing material that was suspected to be agent contaminated.4 What is measured by UMT is the agent in the atmosphere associated with the location being evaluated, which requires that that agent be present in the gas phase. UMT involves enclosing the room or object to be sampled with a plastic barrier that prevents diffusion and allows concentrations to build to the point where the agent can be readily detected by current near-real-time monitoring equipment. The method is designed to protect against airborne exposures to agent, but due to the vapor pressure of the agents and the sensitivity of the analyses, it is also used to infer the presence or absence of liquid agent. UMT, in sampling headspace, can be used for evaluating contamination in many different types of wastes and media. It does not require the time-consuming collection of solid samples and the extractive analyses thereof, which are also subject to uncertainties arising from nonuniform contamination distribution, a feature inherent to closure situations. UMT has been successfully applied in the closure of both the Aberdeen and the Newport facilities (Battelle Memorial Institute, 2010; Parsons, 2009).5,6
Chemical or physical phenomena that limit the volatilization of the agent are a potential limitation of the UMT approach, and occluded spaces are a particular concern in this regard. Any agent occupying occluded spaces (for example, agent trapped in small cracks or sorbed into porous materials) may not volatilize sufficiently for headspace measurements. Occluded spaces can prevent (a) contact of the agent with a decontamination solution; (b) volatilization of agent; and (c) subsequent detection using UMT.
In this chapter, the strengths and weaknesses of both conventional analyses and UMT for monitoring equipment and spaces undergoing closure are considered, with a primary focus on identifying approaches that maximize the utility and effectiveness of UMT during closure. Utilization of physical sampling followed by extractive analysis is also briefly discussed.
The chemical and physical properties of chemical agents affect their toxicity and their detectability. In the context of closure, agent volatility and hydrolysis behavior are the two most significant properties. While all three of the agents processed at the baseline chemical agent disposal facilities are considered semivolatile liquids, the nerve agent GB has a markedly higher vapor pressure (2.9 mm Hg at 25oC), consistent with faster rates of volatilization (Reutter, 1999). In addition, GB has the greatest ability to diffuse through porous or permeable materials, and hence it is less likely to survive for long periods of time on surfaces or in near-surface environments. Mustard is relatively nonvolatile, with a vapor pressure of 0.11 mm Hg at 25ºC. The nerve agent VX has an even lower vapor pressure (only 0.0007 mm Hg at 25ºC) (Reutter, 1999).7 In situations in which mustard or VX fills cracks or diffuses into permeable materials, volatilization may be inhibited, but subsequent disturbances of the system could expose intact agent. This could produce a potential for exposure from volatilization, or more likely from direct dermal contact. Migration or volatilization of mustard or VX from porous or permeable surfaces may not occur.
Chemical agent residues may also become depleted by chemical degradation processes that are principally hydrolysis reactions and that result in significant agent detoxification (with a salient exception of VX as described below). Since the majority of hydrolysis reactions produce degradation products having low toxicity, further discussion is not provided here; additional details can be found in Appendix C. However, VX hydrolysis via P-O bond cleavage is not in this category: this reaction produces S-(N,N-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonothioic acid (known as EA-2192 in the Army vernacular), which is a compound that retains much of the neurotoxicity of intact VX. Hence, the possible presence of this compound is an ongoing source of concern (Yang et al., 1990; Munro et al., 1999).8 However, concerns related to EA-2192 are reasonably mitigated by the following considerations:

In the context of this report, bis-(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, or sulfur mustard, is referred to as H, HD (distilled mustard), or HT (distilled mustard mixed with bis-(2-(2-chloroethylthio)ethyl) ether).
The state of Utah requires measurement of EA-2192 to ensure detoxification to closure standards (see Chapter 5).

Summer is officially over and we are rolling into fall. It seems that many people become sick and have health issues during this transition. A way to stand strong and fight against illness is, of course, movement and yoga. Keep your metabolism up and release some serotonine. Yes, eating chocolate also releases serotonine but I feel like I have posted quite a fair amount of chocolate and raw desserts that I need to focus on the Yoga part again. For once. For the balance.
Let me introduce you to one of the most powerful yoga postures: Virabhadrasana II or Warrior II Pose. The standing pose is standard practice in most yoga classes. But few yogis know the tale of its genesis. It stems from ancient Hindu lore and the tales of the famous figure Virabhadra, "blessed hero"—which is typically rendered into English as "warrior."
Warrior II is the stance of a strong warrior. It is an excellent way to stretch your groins and, even though both feet stay on the floor, improve your balance. You can also, to a lesser extent, strengthen your arms and open your chest. Yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar points out in his book Light on Yoga that Vira II "tones the abdominals," and it's a nice way to strengthen your legs and make them shapely. (source)
Above all, learning to stand strong in your standing poses empowers you to face whatever comes your way.
"How do I practice a correctly aligned Warrior II" you might want to know?!
Here is the key:
- Step your feet apart in a wide stance, with your heels aligned parallel to one another. Pivot your left foot out to a 90-degree angle and pivot your right foot in to a 45-degree angle. Plant your feet like roots, connecting through all of the corners of your feet while lifting through the arches.
- Focus on the leg work of Virabhadrasana II: Keep your arms relaxed at your sides and slowly bend your left knee until it comes directly over your ankle. Now explore the feeling of your weight. Lunge deeper into your left leg and then shift your weight into your back leg to feel the extremes, and then try to find the balance point.
- Let your left hip sink to draw you deeper into the lunge, but keep your right leg firm, inner thigh lifting. As your legs develop stamina and your hips open, you can begin to explore coming into a right angle with your front leg as if you are balancing something on your thigh.
- Bring your awareness to your torso. Are you collapsing into your lower back? Find your vertical center by turning your tailbone toward the earth. Without tension, lift your lower belly, the seat of your power, towards the spine. This action will awaken your center, so you can begin to extend out of your lower back and spread your chest open.Keep scanning your body to feel where you are losing awareness and balance and gaining strength and stamina.
Do you put attention to your alignment in Warrior II ? What type of sport/practice do you do to "stand strong"?

We know that spring will arrive but we are not sure exactly when.
I judge the beginning of spring by when I can dig the ground to start harvesting trees and shrubs. Mid-March is a good start, March 1st is even better, mid April is late. I need to dig deciduous plants prior to bud break which is around mid-May, so losing a full month of the digging throws a wrench in my already short harvesting season. Today is March 12th and I'm looking out the window at large snow banks which means late start and a hectic spring.

Great news in an annual report released today by the American Cancer Society. Fewer people are dying from cancer each year. The ACS report reveals the overall cancer death rate dropped 20-percent between 1991 and 2009. Deaths were down for all four major cancer sites - lung, colorectal, breast and prostate. Although the news is encouraging, these diseases were still responsible for almost half the cancer fatalities among men and women. Experts credit the decline in a reduction in smoking as well as better detection and treatment methods.

Where Have All The Businesses Gone?
It was one thing to see "for sale" or "for lease" signs when the economy was at its worst, but now that the job market as improved to a new high (low) just with just a little more than 6% of people unemployed and looking for work, why are there so many boarded up buildings on commercial blocks? Is funding still an issue for many continuing or would-be entrepreneurs? Is it just not cost effective to hire as we enter the 3rd quarter of the year? Or, as one study suggests, because of the improved job market and jobs added, have many returned to the work force as employees? Where have the businesses gone?
An Investment
As I look back over the things I've done and learned while starting and building a business, there's something I realized I've overlooked. I've ignored it or gave little thought to it and it's surprising because this — I firmly believe — is the key to success. I've talked and written about what the keys are to success. I've argued there weren't really any "keys", but an adopted mindset and attitude. I've read numerous articles about what successful people have in common with one another. I've read those articles about the mindsets and patterns of millionaires. Not just because they're millionaires, but because they must be doing something right in order to have become millionaires. Right? But in between the chatter and the musings and the research, what makes the business owner successful, what makes the entrepreneur a millionaire and what gets the start-up founder funded? A great marketing strategy? A knowledgeable board of directors? Deep-pocketed venture capitalists? The best idea ever?
It's the investment. The investment you make in yourself everyday. You don't have to have a whole lot of education, a whole lot of money to start, a whole lot of friends, or whole lot of anything . You do need to have the time to invest in yourself and seek out investments that will return for you. I mean, yeah, that may mean getting more education or building up a larger network. But it really boils down to being better than you were yesterday. It's taking the time and looking at what you have offer and making sure you can offer it as best you can. Outperform yourself.
I've tried taking on multiple projects and services thinking that the more I offered, the more clients I'll gain because the more people I'll appeal to. Did NOT happen. One, it's hard to spread yourself thin and still be the go-to person for 5,000 things. Two, I wasn't equally interested or passionate about everything I was trying to offer. Thus, many services lacked luster. Just because I could do it, doesn't mean I should've. And vice-versa. It was when I narrowed down what I could offer and would be willing to offer to just 3-5 services and sharpen those skills over and over again, that I noticed myself getting referrals, getting recommended — getting the kind of running start I wanted. Not because I was trying to be everything to everybody. But, because I invested in myself first. That, allowed me to better for my clients and it's paid and continues to pay off.
How do I invest in myself?
- I sign up for community classes that are of interest to my business and professional goals
- I take community college classes
- I periodically attending networking events
- I explore the businesses in my community
- I talk to other business and aspiring business owners
- I read — a lot– of articles, magazines, books, blogs, any thing that strikes my fancy
- I search jobs on Craig's List to see what employers (business owners) are looking for in candidates who do what I do
- I take some of those free classes on Coursea, Standford Online or Venture Lab
It's seems never-ending, which is why it's something I have to be passionate about. Because if I wasn't, I couldn't do it. And what would be the point?
Happy Fourth of July
Time Wise Clients
One of the things I'm probably a little too uptight about is time. More specifically, my time! I hate wasting time or letting my time unnecessarily be eaten up for no apparent reason. And where I struggle a lot with this, is with clients. Maybe it's the fact that it's always beautiful and sunny that makes people in Los Angeles want to linger longer, share more stories and squeeze in another joke. I don't know, but whatever it is, I have seen hours of my time slip away because of side conversations and random randomness. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that the best way to keep a client is to build a relationship with them . And because I travel to my clients, this is is always done in person for me. With that being said, so many of clients get a little too comfortable with me and our conversations will digress onto other topics unrelated to the business at hand. And what happens? 2 hours just turned into 6. Not very responsible, I'll admit, but the reward — if we're looking on the bright side of things — their business and referrals. Some of you may say, well in that case, go ahead and give them 6 hours. But the truth of the matter is, I may keep their business and earn someone else's, but 6 hours (which is 25% of the day) doesn't leave much time for other important things. What else could be just as important as a client? Uh, other clients? Working on the business? Tweaking my marketing efforts? Sleeping? Just to name a few. And if I give a client 25% of my day, then I'm allowing that person to only monopolized my time, but also my business. And one of the first rules I learned about being in business was never let one client dominate your business to the point they are your business. Because when they leave, so does your business.
But I've gotten better with managing my clients on my schedule. Because I have to responsible for my time, even when they're unaware of it. And it's made a huge improvement, because now I can better assess where and how to spend my time with them when I'm done meeting with them.
- For starters, I tell them before we meet what time I have to leave. That way they get an idea how much we'll be spending together and better helps them organize their questions for that meeting.
- I set my alarm. Oh, hell yes, I do. It's rude. It's loud. And disruptive. And that's the point. When I say I need to leave by 3;00pm, I need to show them I mean it. So the alarm goes off as an audio reminder. They still have questions? Email them to me.
- And since I brought it up, I make email the first point of communication. Let's meet for the pertinent stuff, email all the other, please. That way I break the habit of having to meet for every little whim.
- Keep in-person meetings down to once a month, if necessary. I tried this with one client, and it went over superbly. For the secondary meeting, we held a Google HangOut session which shaved off a total of an hour from our normal meetings and I loved that. Not too mention, gas is still over $4 for gallon here in L.A. Let's save the road trips for something more meaningful, right?
It was suggested to me to charge for in-person meetings to deter those clients who feel they need to meet all the time. I'm not comfortable with that yet, but there may come a point sooner or later. I figure if someone's paying for my services, I'm not going to nickle and dime them along the way. No one enjoys that and very few, if anybody, returns for that kind of abuse. But I've found the strategies mentioned above very helpful thus far. I get my time back. And that's what I really wanted. Yes, I want to meet with my clients — work in the business — but, I also want to be able to work on the business.
5 Outdated Beliefs That Are Hurting Your Business
Take your time. Read through the list and see if you had or still have any of these beliefs. No shame in being honest, all of us have probably had at least one one of the listed items pass through our minds as we begun to conduct and operate our business. So much has changed over the course of a few years and over various industries that we cannot continue to hold onto outdated beliefs, especially as business owners. Everything goes through cycles, phases and re-boots. Holding onto what we think is right is because it's what we've known all long is the equivalent to throwing money away. And no one I know is in the business of doing that.
- Your customers can and will find you — The Great Recession (I love still calling it that) turned many people into obligated self-employed persons. People started their own businesses because they had to in order to continue to earn a living. Skipping over the personal metrics of what that all means — you are not the only person doing what you're doing or offering what you're offering. I don't care how well your website was designed, how quick you launched the business or how much money you invested. You don't exist until you let people know you're in business. Which means, you have to find your customer, not the other way around. Ideas: marketing — traditional and online, networking, community partnerships and word of mouth.
- There is no "free" money out there for small business owners – It seems like it's no money out there, but there is. A lot of the times, it'll be in the form of a contest, and other times it can be a private grant. Either way, if you want to raise money that you'll never have to pay back again, just be willing to put in the time. I probably shouldn't say this, but I suggest staying away from the SBA and Grants.gov. Most business owners aren't professional grant writers, cannot afford a grant writer, don't have the time and energy to read through the mess they call eligibility requirements and will not meet the guidelines imposed to receive the government funding available.
- The customer is ALWAYS right — If the customer is always right, then why are they coming to you? No, seriously, think about it. If the customer had all the answers and knew where to find all the resources, why are they knocking on your door? This is not said to inflate our own egos, but just to help put things into perspective when we're questioned by a customer or client about our capability and knowledge. We never want to approach them defensively, but with a bit of enlightenment. A reminder, so to speak, that we can do what we do because of how long we've been doing it, how trained we are at doing what we do and what we know about what we're doing.
- If it worked then, it will work now — Nope, nope, never. The problem with this belief should be obvious, but maybe it isn't. If you haven't heard it before, let me share it with you now: The only constant in business is change. Your customers will change, your prices will change, your hours of operation will change, your employees will change and yes, how you do and conduct business will change because the economy and market are always changing. Don't believe me? Fine, don't change. Come find me in six months to a year's time.
- Working smart outperforms working hard — Uh, no. You can work smart, but you still have to work hard. There's no way around that. And we've all heard it before: Work smart, not hard! Let's be honest, someone had to work hard to come up with that, so what does that tell you? There really is no substitute for working hard and working smart just means you've taken all that hard work and created a system for it. That's truly what it is. Yes, many of us have been working hard only to spin our wheels and get nowhere. So how do we avoid that trap? Direction. Work hard towards something, not just for the sake of working hard.
It's easy to hold onto what we know and what we believed was working for us when there's so much new untested crap being thrown our way. However, we have to be wise and responsive enough to separate what sticks and what sticks to the fan. The times are always changing. We need to make we adjust, set sail and flow with it.

Do not be a lemming. Just because John Laird's July 29 column says, "Despite systemic woes, light rail ridership is increasing," and that light rail is inevitable does not mean the wise people of Clark County need it. The headlines of future Columbian stories will be reporting crime as what's increasing, not ridership.
The same mayor of Gresham, Ore. quoted in Laird's column previously reported that 40 percent of robberies and drug crimes as well as 80 percent of gang-related police calls in his city took place within a quarter-mile of a light-rail station. Even the Gresham police agreed many criminals are "commuting" in from other areas. Their answer to the crime increase was to hire more police. Vancouver shouldn't have to do this as an afterthought when it's too late.
Light-rail projects do not pay for themselves.
Travel by car, along the MAX lines at night and see if that is what you want for our wonderful and unique area. We are interested in quality of life and the betterment of our community, not changing it to be just another Portland. Keep Vancouver safe. (Weird is for those in intolerant "tolerant" cities)
And please, never re-elect anyone.

Southfield-Lathrup linebacker Jamal Lyles committed to MSU this summer and has since, continued to be recruited by other schools, but the 6'4, 220-lb senior says he is solidly committed and the night game at Wisconsin reaffirmed his choice.
"I thought the catch was amazing," Lyles said. "I think this will be a storied season for the Michigan State program."
Riley Bullough has been around the program quite a bit, as he has multiple family ties to East Lansing, including older brother Max, who starts at linebacker for the Spartans now.
Riley, a senior at Traverse City St. Francis, is a 6'1, 210-lb prospect making a transition to linebacker. His senior season was cut short by an injury this fall, but that did not keep him from making the trip to East Lansing this weekend.
"I was there. The game was awesome," he said. "It was probably the most exciting game I've ever been to."
Bullough says what he took away most from the contest was that his future team belongs on the field with the best of the best.
"MSU played great on both sides of the ball and really showed how they can compete with any team in the country."
Despite Bullough's injury, his St. Francis team, featuring younger brother Byron Bullough, is 8-1 and will begin the playoffs this weekend against Lake City. Lyles' Lathrup squad did not make the playoffs, but he finished with 135 tackles (19 for loss), four forced fumbles, an interception and two defensive touchdowns on the year.
