The strong design and no problems with activating the AM/FM tuner for Written By Ruslan K., Tacoma, WA on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I really like the strong design of this radio. I especially like the fact that internal frame with buttons is not a plastic that is colored as the metal, but it is the real metal. If anyone has any problems with activating the AM tuner and reset the FM tuner for American stations, take the time to read the menu and press the MENU button to open the user menu. Then, in the "TUNER" menu use the TUNER AREA (reception area) in order to select the reception area for the radio reception (able to shift from Europe to USA.) After that, in the "TUNER" menu use the BAND (band selection) in order to activate required memory banks (AM and AMT.) So, you can select AM stations. Pros: The Strong Design, Sound Quality, Build Quality Cons: does not recognize more than one folder level on USB flash drive and SD card Was this review helpful? Yes No high quality, moderately featured. very happy. Written By Bishop, kashyyyk on Thursday, February 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This unit is a great replacement for a car with or without a premium Bose system. this product does everything its supposed to do. it's a high quality moderately featured unit. SD card is very handy. i don't use an iPod, but it does have some iPod features. does a great job playing mp3s and cds. i'm very happy with this unit. Pros: well constructed, SD card reader can use up to 32gb cards. sound quality is very good. install was a breeze. mp3 functions work great from SD,cd and usb. Cons: menu navigation took a little getting used to, but it works fine. you can shuffle/repeat but you can't create playlists. big SD cards take about 30/40 seconds to read. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Sound, but Buggy Buttons and VERY Limited iPod Playability Written By DaleS, PA on Saturday, January 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value First let me say this unit does work as advertised. Sound is great and the looks are very very nice. However, I experienced some glitches. Sometimes when you push a button, nothing happens. Other times, when a button is pushed, the unit acts as if I had pushed the next button over! Also, the time displays in hh -- mm format instead of hh:mm format and no way, as far as I could find, to change it. Although not a deal-breaker, it is quite annoying. 9 -- 30 PM just doesn't look right. The worst issue, by far, however, is that it is extremely limited in how you can listen to your iPod through the USB. This IS a deal-breaker for me and in my opinion is VERY IMPORTANT. If you intend use your iPod a lot with this unit, PLEASE READ THIS: this unit can only access the Artist, Album, and Genre sections on the iPod! No Playlists, no Podcasts, etc. If you want to listen to playlists or podcasts, you have to use the 1/8 analog auxiliary connection! This is a ridiculous limitation and should never be the case on a unit of this quality! Fortunately, Crutchfield gave me a great, no-hassle exchange. Thanks, Crutchfield! Pros: Great Quality Over All Great Sound Quality Great Looks Cons: Buttons Buggy Odd Time Format No Ability to Listen to Playlists or Podcasts (my two most common ways to listen on my iPod) when connecting the iPod through USB 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sounding unit Written By Phil L, Denver CO on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I removed a Honda unit from my 2002 Odyssey hoping to get some better sound with aan inexpensive Kenwood unit but after installing it I was disappointed with the sound quality and especially the FM reception. The Kenwood unit looked very cool but looks only get you so far. I saw the Blaupunkt San Fran 310 for only $10 more so I ordered it to see how it compared to the Kenwood, well, no comparison, the Balupunkts' sound quality was FAR superior to the kenwood and the FM reception is crystal clear. I agree that using these German made units take some reading and figuring out but who cares man, read and figure it out. I can't believe these people who say they can't figure out how to program the USA mode to get AM stations, perhaps they should go back to high school and learn how to comprehend. Bottom line, for the money these units kick butt, I love my Blaupunkt and would buy another. Pros: Sound quality and power plus crystal clear FM reception. Cons: Not easy to use until you READ the manual and figure out what the buttons do. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Struggle with Settings - Very Complex and Confusing Written By DonW, Peoria, IL on Sunday, January 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) rating "Coolness Factor" rating Build Quality Ease of Use rating Sound Quality rating Value I have attempted to carefully follow the Instructions in English and have had consistent problems in effort to Set-up. The instructions are fragmented and complex and I am unable to shift from Europe to USA so I can select AM stations. The radio was installed in 1998 Mercedes 230 C by my Mercedes dealer who simply handed me the instruction book and sent me out the door (they installed the radio as service but are not responsible for performing the settings. This is far too difficult set of instructions that requires one hop around from page to page without straightforward clear sequence of instrructons for different settings. I am so frustrated after 3 days of working with the Blaupunkt San Francisco 310 instructions that I am seriously considering having a big box stores techs install one of their popular radios so I will be able to use it and receive AM stations. 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great stereo, great features Written By AlW, Florida on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Replaced the cassette player in our '98 Camry (with 65000 miles, we have a few more years to enjoy it). Straightforward, simple install, if you remember to remove the DIN bracket clips along with the bracket (Oops). Use of SD cards or USB memory sticks is awesome...I got 200 albums (about 2500 tracks) on an 8 Gb stickl. The fun now is finding an album/teack until I learn all the albuim names. Working through the entire Setup Menu took a little while, but is well worth it. Car has the premium OEM speaker package, and this unit sounds great, with plenty of power. Can normally run the volume at a level of 6 to 10 out of 50. Beyond 20 it is ridiculous. Wife and I are very pleased. PS: Download the Blaupunkt manual from their website, as the supplied one isn't the greatest, unless you need 15 languages! Pros: Everything Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A winner. Written By Cman, Tacoma, WA on Friday, December 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Easy to install via instructions provided. Can now retire the disks & utilize other storage devices. Sound is clear. Operation is intuitive. Pros: Great price, good features, nice looks. Cons: Have not found any problems yet. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Stereo Written By Rob, Delafield,WI on Thursday, November 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this as a replacement stereo for my Porsche 1986 911 turbo. Installation was extemely easy, but the function settings took a few minutes longer to learn than I expected. Crutchfield does not recommend this unit for my car, but I'm not sure why. It fit perfectly fine in the space available and wiring was a breeze. It has very good power and a nice clean sound with aftermarket Infinity front speakers. I can't testify to the use of my i-pod with it, but it is supposed to be compatible. It really is a bargain at the price I paid for it. Pros: great sound and power, simple easy-to- use controls, clean style Cons: No AM radio band 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The out-of-season tomato. It's beautiful to behold, tastes of cardboard and holds questionable nutritional value. And according to food writer Barry Estabrook, it embodies much of what's wrong with industrial agriculture.
PAN sat down with Estabrook and spoke to him about how he got interested in the unsavory story of winter tomatoes from Florida, and what he learned. Estabrook's initial research on tomatoes for Gourmet Magazine evolved into the powerfully compelling story he tells in his recent book: Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit.
With gas prices well over $4/gallon, conversation with my neighbors frequently turns to the vulnerability of our fossil-fuel-based economy and to the future of our planet. The good news I can share today is that organic farms — besides being good for the soil, environment and our health — are proving to be much more energy efficient than conventional systems.
As the sun crested the Berkeley hills early yesterday, I logged on to the Washington Post's live feed of its daylong conference, The Future of Food. For the next 8 hours, I enjoyed a veritable feast of thoughtful, well-evidenced and deeply inspiring calls to embrace a new agriculture, rooted in community and ecological resilience. The messengers included the Prince of Wales — who seamlessly knitted together the challenges of our failing global food system with a clear vision for the future — Eric Schlosser, Wendell Berry, Vandana Shiva and many more.
This week, the Administration and Congress are poised to make huge cuts to vital conservation programs that may spell the end of the Farm Bill as we know it. We must oppose this short-sighted lunacy, and the time is now.
Please join the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) and PAN as we urge the leader of the Senate Agriculture committee, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), to do everything possible to protect Farm Bill conservation funding. You can email Senator Stabenow even if you're not in Michigan — I did, it's easy. She needs to know that people across the country care about conservation.
A new UN report released today is making headlines: Agroecological farming can double food production within 10 years, while mitigating climate change AND alleviating poverty.
Yes!! I was elated to read the morning's coverage of this highly anticipated report from the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Olivier de Schutter. I've been writing on the very real need to prioritize policy support for and investments in agroecology for quite some time, but it is truly encouraging to see such a clear, affirming statement coming from the UN.

Series: Saturday Science Links (29 entries)
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
The Incarnation reveals an intelligible world in which the scientist can be at home, a world where concepts like goodness, truth, beauty, justice, and love have real and abiding meaning.
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
These finds open up a new horizon of research into the earliest hominins and how they lived. They also provide us with even more clues in our ongoing search for the last common ancestor.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Researchers in the emerging field of Paleogenomics are investigating the past using genetic research.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.

Hybrid Trainer Customer Review
The Hybrid Trainer is not currently available.Continue shopping
Great Product!!
By Dee (Palm Coast, Florida) on Jul 3, 2013
Comments: I got my Hybrid Trainer on the day they said I would. It took I think 5 days to receive it. It took me, by myself, and I am a woman, less than 2 hours to put it together. Of course, I have to add that I am very mechanically inclined. I love it and enjoy using it. I find it easy to adjust the level as I see fit. I find it to be the best value of an exercise product that you can buy today!!

About the Book
A short stand-alone digital novella set in the world of Leah Cypess's Nightspell, where ghosts exist alongside humans and nearly every lavish ball is part murder mystery.
In the kingdom of Ghostland, every murdered soul comes back as a ghost, and every ghost has only one desire—vengeance. Emilie had everything she'd ever wanted—beautiful dresses, a perfectly decorated room, a party every night, and the eye of a nobleman. But then she's killed. And now she'll stop at nothing to find out who did it. No one in the palace of Ghostland is above suspicion—not even the people closest to her. This haunting fantasy novella is filled with supernatural thrills and surprising plot twists.

Recycled Suitcases Used To Furnish Shanghai's URBN Hotel
The boutique hotel was designed by A00 Architecture and is set within a renovated warehouse in the heart of Shanghai. Set back from the street and surrounded by a high wall and gate, the hotel features a private courtyard and small gardens surrounding the hotel. A rooftop patio and garden provides views of the city, while contemporary guest rooms and conference areas have views of bamboo garden scenes.
Old suitcases, locally-sourced materials, and other recycled materials are used to decorate the lobby and other public spaces. The hotel utilizes solar passive design and features bamboo shades on the south-facing windows. Reclaimed wood from Shanghai is used for flooring, and old bricks from the city are used in the building as well. Additionally the hotel makes use of an energy-efficient HVAC system, low-VOC paints, energy-efficient lighting, and environmentally-safe cleaning products.

|The Holocaust Survivor Cookbook
and Miracles & Meals
Recipes your family will enjoy; Stories they will NEVER FORGET
The two cookbooks "The Holocaust Survivor Cookbook" and its sequel "Miracles & Meals" are labors of love, providing food for both body and soul. Each recipe on these pages is accompanied by a personal story of the Holocaust – of courage, loss, suffering, love, support, caring, life, death and miracles of survival. The book shares photos of Holocaust victims and survivors, along with their recipes and memories. The Caras family lovingly collected each of the stories from around the world.
And so her quest began, the global Holocaust Project. She searched the globe for Holocaust survivor stories and recipes. It was difficult going at first, as are many worthwhile pursuits. Stories and recipes finally arrived from locations worldwide. Enough so that she could create her first book, "The Holocaust Survivor Cookbook", and now volume two: "Miracles & Meals".
Buy the books: This is a "gift yourself, gift others, gift everyone" KosherEye selection. We can't think of a better hostess gift, birthday gift or holiday gift. For generations to come, every story, every memory, every recipe, every picture in these books will help to ensure that the world remembers. Never again.. (Books are $36 each) and can be ordered from survivorcookbook.org.
KosherEye notes: Since several of the recipes may be recorded from recollections, a few are not as detailed as some cooks may require. KosherEye is always here to help!
Below are several excerpts of stories and recipes:
Survivor: Lillian Berliner
My name is Lillian Berliner and I was deported with my family from Hungary in 1944. My mother and I survived Auschwitz, and labor camps in Bremen and Bergen-Belsen. We were liberated by the British troops on April 15, 1945.
Most of my family was deported from Hungary and the majority perished in the Auschwitz gas chambers. Miraculously my mother (in her early 40's) and I survived together. We were never separated.
We were starved in Auschwitz, and to alleviate our numerous hunger pains, we invented frequent "dream meals" ranging between coffee klatches, luncheons, informal and formal dinner parties. We planned our menus carefully for hours and in great detail. Our favorite dishes and dessert took priority and were frequently repeated. The table settings, the color of dishes, tablecloths, napkins, flowers for each occasion and the seating arrangements were also discussed. This may sound delusional I know, but during these meal planning sessions, we were briefly transported to a normal world, a world that was so far from our miserable reality. We actually "tasted" the dishes we prepared and our hunger pangs disappeared during the hours of planning. We could hardly wait for the next planning session.
Try this Palacsinta (crepe) adapted from Lillian Berliner.
Survivor Moishe Perlman
My grandfather, Moishe Perlman was in the concentration camp, Plaszow, for most of the Holocaust. Plaszow did not tattoo their prisoners, the prisoners simply had to memorize their numbers. One Yom Kippur, grandfather gave one of his non-Jewish workers his bread because he was fasting. As a means of thanking him, the worker made him a leather and metal bracelet with my grandfather's ID number etched into it.
One night a soldier stopped my grandfather and demanded his ID number. Faced with no other choice, he slipped off his bracelet and handed it to the soldier. The next day a list of numbers were called to be shot, as a lesson to the rest of the camp. All but one person came forward. The camp ledger was checked, but the number did not exist! My grandfather looked down at his bracelet and realized that his number comprised digits that could be read upside down as well as right side up. He had given his bracelet to the soldier upside down, and the soldier dutifully copied down the wrong numbers. All the people who had been called up were killed. Thanks to a piece of leather and some crude metal I am able to have a grandfather.
Try this recipe for Salmon Patties adapted from Moishe Perlman.
Holocaust Survivor George Stern
This story was particularly meaningful to KosherEye, since George was a close personal family friend who we have recently lost. May his memory be a blessing.
George Salo Stern was born in Brussels Belgium in 1937. He had a peaceful life in Brussels until he was 3. In May 1940, Brussels was bombed by the Nazis. Most of his extended family went to Israel when the Nazis came, and others went to the US. When his immediate family was forced to leave Brussels, he was not able to bring along any possessions. In 1940 George and his family were arrested and sent to Gurs, a displacement camp in France. His mother did not want to send him away with the other children, so she and his grandmother kept him in secret. The other ladies helped hide him. He tried to go outdoors as much as possible, and sometimes the ladies allowed him to run outside where he could run around or stare at rats. He was there for 3 months, and had to learn to be quiet.
The Gurs camp had a population of 2500 people. Out of pure luck, George's mother and grandmother were included in the 800 who were freed; 1700 were sent to concentration camps where they perished. George and his family eventually obtained passage from Portugal to Cuba to the US and settled in Nashville, TN and then in Atlanta, GA. His message for future generations is that "we must always remember the past so that it does not happen again. We must always support the US because it is the land of the free and the home of the brave".

Shurtape FP-202 Premium Grade Bleached Flatback Packaging Tape is used for splicing and hand and machine carton sealing applications as well as in general purpose applications when a thick paper backing is necessary. Constructed of a heavy duty kraft flatback paper coated with a high tack rubber-based adhesive with excellent quick stick properties. Shurtape FP 202 resists abrasion, water, solvents and oil. When it is used as a carton sealing tape, meets or exceeds requirements for motor freight, railway, air express, air freight, postal shipments and government packaging. Shurtape doesn't call out any USPS specifications specifically on any of their paper carton sealing tapes; however FP-202 does meet the ASTM D5486M specification for PSA box sealing/closures.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Gallery: Dumpster Dive LITERALLY Into a Guerrilla Dumpster Pool!
Just in time for warm summer weather in NYC, we came across this AWESOME guerrilla design project: swimming pools in Brooklyn — made out of old dumpsters! We're salivating at the thought of diving into one of these re-purposed trash receptacles to take a swim. (Certainly, a phrase we never thought we'd utter). No word on the pool's exact location, (if we knew we would be there right now swimming), but read on for more insight into its creation!
Our friends at ReadyMade were the first to discover the guerrilla pool built by a trio of creatives and designers: Jocko Weyland, David Belt, and Alix Feinkind, who started Macro|Sea. They had seen the dumpster pool originally done in Athens, Georgia by Curtis Crowe of the band Pylons, and decided to recreate it. This summer is the testing and prototype phase for their adaptive reuse project, and they hope to build more in strip malls around America.
It took only 12 days to get the materials and put everything together for their grand opening on July 4th. For the DIY-ers out there, you'll need to buy a big dumpster, seal up the seams, add a liner, fill it with sand for a soft bottom, add a tarp and a lot of water.
Macro|Sea's mission statement is to "do projects we find interesting." Beyond creating secret pool hangouts in parking lots in Brooklyn, the team also focuses on the redevelopment of strip malls. Much like our own desire to overhaul suburbia in our design competition REBURBIA, Macro|Sea hopes to transform the American strip mall. "By stripping and altering its [strip malls] common architectural features, adding community space and involvement, and carefully selecting and curating vendors and the space itself, Macro-Sea hopes to create and promote a place for people to shop, meet, learn, and engage with one another."
Along with their redevelopment of strip malls, they hope that the dumpster pools will show people that "with not too much expense you can creatively reuse what is basically considered urban detritus and make something really cool and fun and also fairly easy to put together." While dumpsters are not generally destined for the landfill, their point is to use something that is already made and available to create something new. Count us in. If only we knew where it was…

The city use to have to low belly trucks with an open side that bolted together. They were then line with a plastic liner and filled from the fire hydrant (Johnny Pump) for Block Parties. Bell phone company used to have a van loaded with Music and amplifiers. They would set up speakers on the street poles and provide all type of free music for the block parties also.

Any of these dumpster pools in or around Rochester NY?

This is totally cool, but completely breaks many building codes and health safety requirements for cities in the USA.
July 23, 2009 at 12:15 pm
What an amazing approach & a great design. My question is how would you treat a vessel like this? What sort of chemicals do you use to treat the water with?
July 22, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Congratulations on such an innovative project and product. Are you actually making these units to sell? Curious as to what it would cost to get the basic dumpster, obviously same size it appears you use?
July 10, 2009 at 10:41 am
Hey there folks. We had a reader comment over at our site about the idea of starting a business "renting dumpster pools" which I think sounds amazing. Then I thought, well, the Park(ing) Day folks should definitely start this trend! Anyhow, I also posted another photo of the pools under construction that people might want to check out. Take a look if you get the chance:
Thanks for your interest!

ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about the factors that increase the chance of developing this type of cancer. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing cancer. Although risk factors often influence the risk of developing of cancer, most do not directly cause cancer. Some people with several risk factors never develop cancer, while others with no known risk factors do. However, knowing your risk factors and talking about them with your doctor may help you make more informed lifestyle and health care choices.
A woman with an average risk of breast cancer has about a 12% chance of developing breast cancer within her lifetime. Generally, most breast cancers are sporadic, meaning they develop from damage to a person's genes that occurs by chance after they are born, and there is no risk of passing this gene on to a person's children. Inherited breast cancers are less common, making up 5% to 10% of cancers, and occur when gene changes called mutations are passed down within a family from one generation to the next (see below).
When considering your breast cancer risk, it is important to remember that most women who develop breast cancer have no obvious risk factors and no family history of breast cancer. Multiple risk factors influence the development of breast cancer. This means that all women need to be aware of changes in their breasts and talk with their doctors about receiving regular breast examinations by a doctor and mammograms, which is an x-ray of the breast that can often detect a tumor that is too small to be felt.
The following factors may raise a woman's risk of developing breast cancer:
Age. The risk of developing breast cancer increases as a woman ages, with most cancers developing in women older than 50.
Personal history of breast cancer. A woman who has had breast cancer in one breast has a 1% to 2% chance per year of developing a second breast cancer in her opposite breast, if she has no other risk factors. This risk may be reduced by treatment such as hormonal therapy for some women (see Treatment Options).
Family history of breast cancer. Breast cancer may run in the family if first-degree relatives, such as mothers, sisters, brothers, and children, or many close relatives (including grandparents, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, grandchildren, and cousins) have been diagnosed with breast cancer or ovarian cancer, especially before age 50. Breast cancer may also be likely to run in the family if the relative who developed breast cancer is a man, because this may be a sign that inherited genetic changes contributed to the risk of developing cancer (see below). Women with a first-degree relative who developed breast cancer have a risk that is about double an average woman's risk. If two first-degree relatives developed breast cancer, the risk is five times the average risk. It is uncertain how much a woman's risk of breast cancer is increased when a man in the family has breast cancer, unless this is due to an inherited mutation. If a man within your family has developed breast cancer or a woman has developed breast cancer at an early age or has as developed ovarian cancer, it is important to talk with your doctor, as this could be a sign that your family carries an inherited breast cancer gene, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 (see below).
When looking at family history, it's also important to consider your father's side of the family as this is equally important as your mother's side in determining your personal risk for developing breast cancer.
Inherited risk/Genetic predisposition. There are several inherited genes linked with an increased risk of breast cancer, as well as other types of cancer. The most common are breast cancer genes 1 or 2. These are commonly shortened to BRCA1 or BRCA2. Mutations on these genes are linked to an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer, as well as other types of cancer. A man's risk of breast cancer, as well as the risk for prostate cancer, is also increased if he has mutations on these genes. Learn more about hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in a one-page fact sheet (available as a PDF) or in a more detailed guide.
Other gene mutations or hereditary conditions that can increase a person's risk of breast cancer, including ataxia telangiectasia (A-T), Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), Cowden syndrome (CS), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), and Lynch syndrome. There are also other genes that may cause an increased risk of breast cancer. However, more research is needed to understand how they increase a person's risk and to find other genes that affect breast cancer risk.
Genetic testing through blood tests is available to test for known mutations in BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes and other hereditary syndromes, but these tests are not recommended for everyone and are recommended only after a person has received appropriate genetic counseling. If a woman learns she has one of these genetic mutations, there are steps she can take to lower her risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and she may need a different breast cancer screening schedule than the general population, such as having tests more often or starting screening at a younger age.
Personal history of ovarian cancer. A history of ovarian cancer can increase a woman's risk of breast cancer, if the ovarian cancer was because of an inherited mutation. Breast cancer gene mutations, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2, greatly increase the risk of both ovarian and breast cancers.
Estrogen and progesterone exposure. Estrogen and progesterone are hormones in women that control the development of secondary sex characteristics, such as breast development, and pregnancy. A woman's production of estrogen and progesterone decreases with age, with a steep decrease around menopause. Long-term exposure to these hormones increases breast cancer risk.
- Women who began menstruating before ages 11 or 12 or went through menopause after age 55 have a somewhat higher risk of breast cancer because their breast cells have been exposed to estrogen and progesterone for a longer time.
- Women who had their first pregnancy after age 35 or who have never had a full-term pregnancy have a higher risk of breast cancer. Pregnancy may help protect against breast cancer because it pushes breast cells into their final phase of maturation.
Hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Using hormone therapy with both estrogen and progesterone after menopause, often called postmenopausal hormone therapy or replacement, within the past five years or for several years increases a woman's risk of breast cancer. In fact, the number of new breast cancers diagnosed has dropped as fewer women have been taking postmenopausal hormone therapy. However, women who have taken estrogen alone, without previously receiving progesterone, for up to five years because they have had their uterus removed for other reasons appear to have a slightly lower risk of breast cancer.
Oral contraceptives or birth control pills. Some studies suggest that oral contraceptives slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, while others have shown no link between the use of oral contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and development of breast cancer. Research on this topic is ongoing.
Race and ethnicity. Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis in women, other than skin cancer, regardless of race. White women are more likely to develop breast cancer than black women, but among women younger than 44, the disease is more common in black women than in young white women. Black women are also more likely to die from the disease. Reasons for survival differences include differences in biology, other health conditions, and socioeconomic factors affecting access to medical care. Women of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage also have an increased risk of breast cancer because they are more likely to have BRCA gene mutations. Breast cancer is least commonly diagnosed in Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women. Both black and Hispanic women are more likely to be diagnosed with larger tumors and later-stage cancer than white women. However, Hispanic women generally have better survival rates than white women. Breast cancer diagnoses have been increasing in second generation Asian/Pacific islander and Hispanic women for unclear reasons, but likely related to changes in diet and lifestyle associated with living in the United States.
Atypical hyperplasia of the breast. This diagnosis increases the risk of developing breast cancer in the future and is characterized by abnormal, but not cancerous, cells found in a biopsy of the breast.
LCIS. As explained in the Overview section, this diagnosis refers to abnormal cells found in the lobules or glands of the breast. LCIS in one breast increases the risk of developing invasive breast cancer in either breast in the future. Invasive cancer is cancer that spreads into surrounding tissues. If LCIS is found during a biopsy (see Diagnosis), it may be removed to check for other changes, and additional treatment may be recommended. Talk with your doctor about the best way to monitor this condition.
Lifestyle factors. As with other types of cancer, studies continue to show that various lifestyle factors may contribute to the development of breast cancer.
- Weight. Recent studies have shown that postmenopausal women who are overweight or obese have an increased risk of breast cancer, and they have a higher risk of having the cancer come back after treatment.
- Physical activity. Increased physical activity is associated with a decreased risk of developing breast cancer and a lower risk of having the cancer come back after treatment. Regular physical activity may protect against breast cancer by helping women maintain a healthy body weight, lowering hormone levels, or causing changes in a women's metabolism or immune factors.
- Alcohol. Current research suggests that having more than one to two alcoholic drinks, including beer, wine, and spirits, per day raises the risk of breast cancer, as well as the risk of having the cancer come back after treatment.
- Food. There is no reliable research that confirms that eating or avoiding specific foods reduces the risk of developing breast cancer or having the cancer come back after treatment. However, eating more fruits and vegetables and fewer animal fats is linked with many health benefits.
Socioeconomic factors. More affluent women in all race and ethnic groups have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than less-affluent women in the same groups. Although the reasons for this difference are not known, it is thought to be due to variations in diet, environmental exposures, and other risk factors such as breast density. In contrast, women living in poverty are more likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage and are less likely to survive their disease than more affluent women. This is likely due multiple factors, including lifestyle factors, other health conditions such as obesity, and tumor biology, with access to healthcare playing an additional role.
Radiation. High doses of ionizing radiation, such as from tanning booths and x-rays, may increase a woman's risk of breast cancer. Radiation to the chest given at a young age, such as that given for treatment for a childhood cancer, also increases the risk of breast cancer. However, the very small amount of radiation a woman receives during a yearly mammogram has not been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.
Breast density. Dense breast tissue may make it more difficult to find tumors on standard imaging tests, such as a mammography (see Diagnosis). Breast density may be a result of higher levels of estrogen, rather than a separate risk factor, and usually decreases with age. Some states are beginning to require that results from mammograms include information about breast density, if the results show a woman has dense breast tissue. Researchers are looking at whether lowering breast density might also decrease the risk of breast cancer.
Understanding your risk of breast cancer
Several breast cancer risk assessment tools have been developed to help a woman estimate her chance of developing breast cancer. The best studied is the Gail model (found on the National Cancer Institute's website at www.cancer.gov/bcrisktool). After you enter some personal and family information, including race/ethnicity, the tool provides you with a five-year and lifetime estimate of the risk of developing invasive breast cancer. Because it only asks for information about breast cancer in first-degree family members and doesn't include their age at diagnosis, the tool works best at estimating risk in women without a strong inherited breast cancer risk. For some women, other ways of determining the risk of breast cancer may work better. It's important to talk with your doctor about how to find out your personal risk of breast cancer.
Lowering your risk of breast cancer
Researchers continue to look into what factors cause breast cancer and what people can do to lower their personal risk. There is no proven way to completely prevent this disease, but there may be steps you can take to lower your risk. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about your personal risk of developing breast cancer.
Mastectomy. For women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, the preventive removal of the breasts through a procedure called a prophylactic mastectomy may be considered. This appears to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by at least 95%. Women with these mutations may also consider the preventive removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes, called a prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy. This procedure can reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer, as well as breast cancer by stopping the ovaries from making estrogen. Talk with your doctor about potential side effects when considering having these procedures.
Chemoprevention. Women who have a higher than normal risk of developing breast cancer may consider chemoprevention. Chemoprevention is the use of drugs to reduce cancer risk. Two drugs, tamoxifen (Nolvadex, Soltamox) and raloxifene (Evista), are approved to lower breast cancer risk. These drugs are called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). A SERM is a medication that blocks estrogen receptors in some tissues and not others. Postmenopausal women and premenopausal women may take tamoxifen, whereas raloxifene is only approved for postmenopausal women. Each drug also has different side effects. Talk with your doctor about whether you may benefit from chemoprevention for breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are also being looked at to reduce breast cancer risk. AIs are a type of hormonal treatment that reduces the amount of estrogen in a woman's body by stopping tissues and organs other than the ovaries from producing estrogen. One AI called exemestane (Aromasin) has shown promise in reducing breast cancer risk. However, AIs can only be used in women who have gone through menopause, and exemestane is not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for lowering breast cancer risk in women who do not have the disease. Read more about drugs to reduce breast cancer risk.
Other drugs being looked at to reduce breast cancer risk include statins and metformin (multiple brand names), a drug commonly used for diabetes.
Lifestyle choices. Other ways to lower your risk of breast cancer include getting regular physical activity, staying at a healthy weight, limiting the amount of alcohol you drink, and limiting the use of post-menopausal hormone therapy. Learn about more lifestyle choices that may help lower your risk of breast cancer.
Screening guidelines
Mammography is the best tool doctors have to screen healthy women for breast cancer, as it has been shown to lower deaths from breast cancer. Like any medical test, mammography involves risks, such as additional testing and anxiety if the test falsely shows a suspicious finding; this is called a false-positive. Up to 10% to 15% of the time, mammography will not see an existing cancer, called a false-negative result. Digital mammography may be better able to find cancers, particularly in women with dense breasts. A new type of mammogram, called tomosynthesis or 3D mammography, when combined with standard mammograms may improve the ability to find small cancers and reduce the need to repeat tests due to false positives.
Different organizations have looked at the evidence, risks, and benefits of mammography and have developed different screening recommendations:
- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women ages 50 to 74 have mammography every two years. They recommend that mammography be considered in women ages 40 to 49 after evaluating the risks and benefits of this test with a doctor.
- The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends yearly mammography beginning at age 40.
The controversy about screening mammography is related to the ability of early detection to lower the number of deaths from breast cancer. Breast cancers detected by mammography are often small, with a low risk of recurrence. In contrast, rapidly growing, aggressive cancers are more commonly found in between screening mammograms, are associated with worse chance of recovery, and are more frequently found in young women.
All women should talk with their doctors about mammography and decide on an appropriate screening schedule. For women at high risk for developing breast cancer, screening is recommended at an earlier age and more often than the schedules listed above.
The USPSTF and ACS also differ on their recommendations for clinical breast examinations. The USPSTF recommends a clinical breast examination along with mammography. The ACS recommends a clinical breast examination every one to three years until age 40, then annually.
Finally, although breast self-examination has not been shown to lower deaths from breast cancer, it is important for women to become familiar with their breasts so that they can be aware of any changes and report these to their doctor. Cancers that are growing more quickly are often found by breast examination between regular mammograms.
Other ways to examine the breasts, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are not regularly used to screen for breast cancer. These tests may be helpful for women with a higher risk of breast cancer or when a lump or mass is found during a breast examination. According to the ACS, women with BRCA gene mutations, a strong family history of breast cancer, or precancerous changes on a biopsy have a higher risk of developing breast cancer and should receive regular MRI screening and mammography, usually in an alternating schedule. MRI may be better than mammography and ultrasound at finding a small mass in a woman's breast, especially for women with very dense breast tissue. However, an MRI has a higher rate of false-positive test results, which may mean more biopsies, surgeries, and other tests. In addition, an MRI does not show tiny spots of calcium called calcifications that can be found on an x-ray. Calcifications are a sign of in situ breast cancer (DCIS).
Ultrasound or MRI may also be used for women with a suspicious breast finding on physical examination or mammography. If a lump or mass is found during a physical examination, further testing is needed, even if the mammogram is reported to be normal. Women are encouraged to talk with their doctor about the method of screening recommended for them and how often screening is needed.

Where do these books come from?
Right now, many of our books are provided either by publishers and authors, through the Google Books Partner Programme or by our library partners, through the Library Project. We have also added metadata records for a great many books to the Google Book Search index.
The Partner Programme is an online-book marketing programme designed to help publishers and authors promote their books. Publishers and authors send us their books and we digitally scan them and make them available in our search results - all for free. For the most part, you can browse through a number of pages of these books, typically about 20%.
The Library Project involves partnerships with several libraries to include their collections in Google Book Search. Books scanned through the Library Project are displayed to you like a card catalogue, including basic info about the book and, in some cases, basic info plus a few snippets - sentences of your search terms in context. When these books are in the public domain, we will display the full text of the book, from start to finish.
In order to make Google Book Search a more comprehensive book discovery tool, we felt that it was necessary to include results for books that we had not yet digitised at our library partners or received via our Partner Programme. Since we have not scanned these books, they are not full-text searchable. This means that they will only be searchable by title, author, subject or copyright information and in some cases, tables of contents and/or a book summary. In effect, this is like seeing a library card catalogue online. However, for each book's "About this book" page, where possible, we will include reviews, articles that cite the book, books that cite the book and related books.

Stillboostin, the AR/He was because I had some and was trying to get rid of it, it probably added a little more heat and allowed me to run the Dynasty at lower amps so I did not have to worry about duty cycle, the material was 1/4 inch so no sugaring happened. there is a product called SolarFlux which you paint on the back and this stops the O2 from affecting the weld area. Works pretty good and is easier than back gassing. Hope this helps,PaulMore Spark Today Please

huh, I didnt know you could mix it with vodka!, ****, this advice will definately make for a better welding experience huh. Ive been mixing mine with that product called "HEET" used to get rid of water in gas tanks. I wish I would of known about the vodka, because I do have a bottle of it laying around the house. Thanks for the tip.

careful editing
Thanks for the compliment, but I just try to post pics of the good welds and hope that nobody catches on to me.
Some days are better than others, but DO NOT sell your Passport. That little machine kicks some butt and you just need to spend some time working it all out. I find that I lay my nicest beads with Patience and Prep.
Also, you have to understand your machine and how to set it up properly. This just comes with experience, trial, and error. My welding has improved a lot over the last several years, and I'll attribute a good amount of that to a few key members of this forum who have shared their knowledge along with pictures of their work.
Keep the Passport... and get a GTAW machine. One does not effectively replace the other. Work out the MIG then move on to the TIG. Believe me, scrapping the MIG in place of TIG is not going to alleviate your frustrations.
Good luck and have fun... and thanks again.
Oh yeah, post some pics of your stuff. I'm sure everyone here would be happy to give you their $ .02.Maxstar 200DX
