Emmylou Harris was 16 when she wrote a six-page letter to iconic folk singer Pete Seeger. She wanted to be a folk singer, too, she explained, but worried that her life was too sheltered. She lived at home with her parents, and figured she needed to suffer for her art.
"He wrote me back and told me in a very gentle way not to worry about life experience and suffering, that it would come my way," Harris said Tuesday, after learning of Seeger's death at age 94.
Harris found his response inspiring, and later found it to be correct. She went on to a career that landed her in the Country Music Hall of Fame, and that has exemplified a Seeger-esque insistence that music is about expression, connection and community. She also came to know Seeger, who remembered her letter and said its sincerity knocked him off his feet.
"He was exactly like you thought he'd be from his music," she said. "He was the godfather of this music, and he oversaw all of it benevolently. Music to him was a means to connect us all, through the joy of singing."
Seeger was never a Nashville guy, though he recorded his "Rainbow Race" album here in 1971 with musicians including Charlie Daniels, and he came here at Johnny Cash's request to tape ABC's "The Johnny Cash Show." He told author David King Dunaway, "It's no accident that Music City is Nashville, and that when people like myself try to recapture a sense of American music, we find ourselves just gravitating to southern music."
Southern musicians also gravitated to Seeger, who was a profound influence on Nashville-affiliated artists including Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Nanci Griffith, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Steve Earle and scores of others. Many of Seeger's admirers met him, spoke with him, stood with him and sang with him. He was accessible, and indelible.

Other environmental exposures and lung cancer
Researchers are looking at evidence linking increased risk for lung cancer to environmental carcinogens found in outdoor and indoor air pollutants as well as soil and drinking water. Cancer-causing toxins can be found in the home, the workplace and public spaces. Certain occupations pose more risks: hairdressing, mining, painting, and art glass making. Active duty military and veterans are also at increased risk for lung cancer due to exposures to things like Agent Orange, asbestos, battlefield combustibles and possibly depleted uranium.

SAHİMO Hydrogen Vehicle Travels 568 Kilometers on 1 Liter of Fuel
Students from Turkey's Sakarya University have unveiled a remarkable attempt at creating Europe's most fuel efficient vehicle. The SAHİMO is a hydrogen powered vehicle that is capable of traveling 568 kilometers on 1 liter of fuel (about 353 miles on a quarter gallon). The students' ultimate goal is to trek SAHİMO across 3,000 kilometers of the Australian Outback on just 3 liters of fuel in the inaugural 2009 Global Green Challenge. And you thought you were getting good mileage out of your Prius!
The SAHİMO is truly a lightweight carbon fiber vehicle, weighting less than 110 kilograms. It won third most efficient vehicle at the 26th Shell Eco Marathon held in Europe. The designers hope to improve SAHİMO's performance, equipping it to reach a full 1,000 kilometers/per 1 liter of fuel, before participating in the Global Green Challenge in October.
This year marks the debut of the 2009 Global Green Challenge, an evolution of the World Solar Challenge competition in Australia, in which approximately twenty electric, hybrid, alternative fuel and low emission production and prototype vehicles will compete "in a test of durability and eco friendly performance, across an entire continent." Just like the better known World Solar Challenge competition, vehicles will have to trek across 3,000 kilometers in the Australian desert.
The cost of development for the SAHİMO wasn't cheap — amounting to $170,000. The team is looking for additional sponsorship to make the necessary improvements to achieve their goals. Not bad for a project that began as a simple homework assignment in 2003.

By 2015, a new facility serving as an outpatient clinic for veterans will be established in Fort Wayne -- likely created in a partnership with Parkview Health.
Officials of the VA Northern Indiana Healthcare System met Friday with reporters to provide an update on the phased-in resumption of inpatient services at the VA's Fort Wayne medical center, 2121 Lake Ave. Although they could not release details of the new facility, Director Denise M. Deitzen said that a location has been chosen for the new facility. Plans call for construction to begin this year, with this annex being ready for patients in 2015.
Later Friday, a news release from Parkview Health said a partnership between Parkview and the VA would be announced Monday in a press conference at 2500 E. State Boulevard -- a location a short distance east of Parkview Hospital Randallia. Officials from Parkview and the VA are scheduled to appear at the announcement, along with U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd.
Chief of Staff Dr. Ajay Dhawan said that there is no rigid schedule for the future phases of ramping up the complexity of care it provides.
Last month, the VA reopened six inpatient beds and begin treating patients there with more complex medical needs. That was the second phase of reopening. The VA reopened its inpatient Acute Medical Unit on Dec. 3 as the first phase of its resuming care. During that first phase that began in December, only blood transfusion and chemotherapeutic infusion patients were treated.
In October, the VA "paused" providing inpatient care to allow the health-care system "to review our processes, provide training to our staff, and ensure our continued ability to maintain the most flexible systems and highest standard of care for our veterans."
The next phase of resuming inpatient care will entail patients whose conditions require monitoring – telemetry – of their vital signs, Dhawan said. A fourth phase will involve resuming care for the most critically ill patients, such as those in an intensive care unit.
As always, some patients will be referred to other health-care providers for specialized care. "We will always have patients we share with the community," Deitzen said.
Also Friday, VA officials showed off patient rooms in a recently renovated area of the facility, with new floor coverings, furniture and color schemes. The net effect is to create "a much more warm, patient-centered environment," said Associate Director Helen M. Rhodes.

Clearly we were really into Halloween this year, and even though the holiday is behind us, the festivities of the weekend had us thinking about getting freaky in a different sense of the word. We can't help it—werewolves, zombies, and vampires (especially of the R.Patz variety) give us a tingling that's a little otherworldly.

3-Module Leather Watch Winder and Watch Storage Box by Underwood
Precision leather watch winder case with storage compartment keeps 3 watches wound at all times.
Your precision automatic watches are a significant investment. Shouldn't you protect that investment with a watch winder case that is equally precise? Underwood watch winders feature world-class motors, precision winding and the finest Italian leathers and hand-crafted cases available.
Rotobox® Modular Winding System... for ultimate reliability.
At the heart of every good watch winder is a technologically superior motor. Which is why this top-quality leather watch winder case features motors from the Swiss company Maxon Motor AG, one of the world's leading providers of this type of motor technology. Maxon also supplies 39 of the 43 motors used to power the NASA "Spirit" and "Opportunity" Mars rovers.
High-quality Maxon A-max DC motors featuring high-performance permanent magnets power all Underwood winders. At the heart of every Maxon motor is the worldwide patented, ironless rotor "the System Maxon®." This unique concept gives our watch winder case low-noise, highly efficient motors with low power consumption.
Our watch winder case features a precise 4-hour winding cycle.
The most important feature of any watch winder is just that--the winding function. Underwood winders are programmed at optimal 4-hour repeating winding intervals: 30 minutes of clockwise rotation, followed by 30 minutes of counterclockwise rotation and then 3 hours of rest. The result is a 24-hour cycle, making Underwood watch winders ideal for all automatic watches, whether heirloom or modern. With this superior watch winder case, your precision watches are ready to wear at a moment's notice.
Each Underwood winder operates on AC adapter (included) or battery power. LED lights indicate when your watch winder case is operational (even during rest cycles) or when your batteries need replacing.
The most beautiful watch winder case available.
Underwood watch winders are housed in the finest materials available. Following a tradition since 1926, this watch winder case is finished with luxurious panels hand-crafted in Italy from carefully selected, naturally vegetable-tanned full grain leather in black or tan. Each case is accented with solid brass fittings decorated with the "Clou de Paris" found on all Underwood products. Storage box holds watches, jewelry and other accessories. Glass cover locks with key for security.

When public school classes attend The Nutcracker and other family ballet performances, TWB offers workshops to assist teachers in developing creative lesson plans to integrate into their academic curriculum. Teachers receive CPU credits for participation, and TWB provides study guides with information, exercises, and a variety of creative ideas and tools. To further enrich the students' experience with TWB's family programs, the Ballet also holds annual art contests for the students in conjunction with these special performances. The work is displayed in THEARC gallery in SE or the Fannie Mae Gallery in NW.
Through informal, post-performance chats, ballettalks educates audience members and provides a deeper look into a performance. The Washington Ballet's artistic director, choreographers, guest artists, and dancers provide open discussions after select performances to examine the technique and aesthetic of the performance piece viewed.
Throughout the season, Septime and company artists host these illuminating and intriguing lecture/demonstrations in the intimate England Studio Theater. Each inthewings event offers insight on an upcoming performance and enhances audience members' theater-going experience. For information on this season's inthewings, please click here.
TWB's Studio Company provides a bridge between the school and professional company. Studio Company members perform in TWB's repertoire and dance their own works in the England Studio Theater, the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, THEARC Theater, and across the capital in educational performances for the DCPS system.
Moving Wisdom A unique component of the adult dance program at THEARC, Moving Wisdom offers senior citizens ages 60 and older the opportunity to build healthier bodies and express their creativity through movement. This six-week course was created by Sylvia Soumah, founder of West African dance company Coyaba Dance Theater and TWB@THEARC African teacher. Moving Wisdom integrates African and other culturally specific dance forms with related music to inspire the mind, body, and soul.
The Washington Ballet (TWB) continually creates collaborations between public, charter, and private schools to design individualized programs that meet specific needs and interests. Since the inception of its education programs, The Washington Ballet @THEARC has served over 70,000 constituents, working with schools such as Savoy Elementary, Sharpe Health School, the Catholic Schools of Greater Washington, DC Preparatory Academy, and The Washington Middle School for Girls.
The professional company partnership program seeks to enrich and diversify class offerings at TWSB as well as expose students to professional dance. The program includes master classes, workshops, and opportunities to attend performances. Partnerships have included African Heritage Dancers and Drummers, K2 Dance Company, Step Afrika!, Andrew Cacho Dancers and Drummers, the DC Youth Ensemble, and Bowen McCauley Dance. The Washington Ballet currently collaborates with Coyaba Dance Theatre to provide African classes and with Urban Artistry to provide Hip Hop classes. Additional opportunities are ongoing.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
Veneras 5 and 6 were two identical spacecraft designed to penetrate Venus's atmosphere and transmit a variety of scientific data to Earth during descent. The two spacecraft were targeted to reach Venus only a day apart, thus allowing some cross-calibration of data.
Although both spacecraft used a bus-lander system similar to the 1V-type spacecraft (flown as Venera 4), the two new landers (each weighing 405 kilograms) were designed to endure g-loads as high as 450 (as opposed to 300 for their predecessors). The landers also used smaller parachutes for descent, allowing the probes to descend faster through the atmosphere to increase chances of operating close to the surface.
After performing 73 communications sessions with ground control and completing one midcourse correction on 14 March 1966, Venera 5 approached the dark side of Venus on 16 May 1969 and detached its lander, whose speed reduced from 1,100.17 meters per second to 210 meters per second after it hit the Venusian atmosphere at 06:01 UT. One minute later, controllers re-established contact with the lander and began receiving transmitted data on pressure, temperature, and composition of the Venusian atmosphere for 53 minutes.
Contact was lost at an altitude of about 24 to 26 kilometers when the pressure exceeded 26.1 atmospheres. Impact coordinates were 3° south latitude and 18° longitude. Information extrapolated from Venera 5's data suggested that ground temperature and pressure at the Venusian surface were 140 atmospheres and 530°C, respectively.

Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Series: Evidences for Evolution (7 entries)
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: Understanding Evolution (4 entries)
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins (7 entries)
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life (8 entries)
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
Series: Signature in the Pseudogenes (3 entries)
This brief series explains the significance of pseudogenes. Darrel Falk and Dennis Venema demonstrate how the theory of common descent provides a fine framework in which to interpret the existence of these once-functional genes. They also discuss the relationship of various primates and other mammals based on shared pseudogenes. The evidence in support of evolutionary theory, they argue, is compelling when examining the rich history disclosed in the DNA of every organism.
Signature in the Synteny
In some ways, comparing the DNA sequence between related organisms is like reading alternative history novels. The hypothesis of common ancestry between similar organisms makes a very straightforward prediction about their genomes...
In The Bones
I am a fan of the blog "Jesus Creed." Recently it published an interesting post about the transition from fins to limbs as evidenced by fossils of an organism trapped in sediment 375 million years ago.
Evidence for Evolution in the Mouths of Birds
A friend tells me the most important task for The BioLogos Forum is to present evidence of evolution in ways people without a biology background can understand.
Evolution and the Imago Dei
Originally published on May 11, 2009.
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Series: Misconceptions About Evolution (2 entries)
This two-part series highlights some of the most common misconceptions about evolution and some helpful responses to them.
Series: Evolution and the Origin of Biological Information (7 entries)
Dennis Venema begins this series by summarizing a key Intelligent Design belief: that if we see specified information, we infer design because we are unaware of a mechanism that can bring about specified information in the absence of intelligence. In each subsequent part of the series, Venema shows why this argument is wrong. Venema presents evidence to show that natural mechanisms can, in fact, explain the origin of new information. He reminds his readers, however, that this does not in any manner exclude God from the process.

Dear Customer,
We're sorry to inform you that Zuke's Mini Bakes treats have been discontinued by the manufacturer. These were a great treat and we're sorry to see them ago. As an alternative, we recommend Only Natural Pet Chicken Apple Pie Biscuits or Only Natural Pet Fresh Kisses. Both of these biscuits are made with Only Natural Pet's unparalleled quality, have the same irresistible texture and taste of the Zuke's biscuits, and are a favorite of many of our office dogs.
Again, we're sorry for any inconvenience and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Customer Care Team.
Thank you for your understanding,Only Natural Pet
"Biscuit. Biscuit!" Words any dog loves to hear. Once she learns the sound of the Mini Bakes box opening you won't need to call her again. Instead of a stale, nutrition-less dog biscuit, she will get a nutritious, tasty treat made the Zuke's way.
Mini Bakes are the crunchy, delicious, fun to feed miniature biscuit that are perfect for training and frequent feeding frenzies. Each health-a-licous flavor begins with ground oats - never wheat or corn - enhanced with a scrumptious protein source, plus a nutritious whole - food flavor addition like blueberries, potatoes or cherries.

We use these as a training treat. Perfect to keep him from over eating and they are good to his tummy!!! A+
Yummy! My dogs LOVE Them
By Cattledoggirl
from Austin, TX
I love to buy several flavors and mix them together - Call it Trail Mix. They are great treats to take on walks - they don't stain clothing and the dogs LOVE them. I can easily break them in half for the little dogs. They can be left in my hot car and not spoil.Good, nutritional ingredients and made in USA.
Good value
By holly
from maine
My dog loves these small treats. I break them in half to feed as training treats. You get a lot in a box and you double it by breaking them. There are a few crumbs (minor) when you break them, so if you are super fussy about crumbs in your pocket you wouldn't want to break them. I keep a box in the car and when he hears one break he sits up and takes notice, knowing he will be getting a treat and that we will be getting out of the car for a walk/training session.
Easy to break in half

All 10 of my dogs love these treats. They are easy to chew, even for my little ones that hardly have any teeth anymore. They are nutritious and they love them...a combination that makes this dog mommy VERY happy!
Dogs DO like blueberries!
By Lovelly
from Maine
There are a LOT of these treats in a bag and you can easily break each one in half along the midline. They are dry but not crumbly. So, I have found them to be just perfect for breaking in half and keeping in my pocket for whenever I need one for my puppy --great training aid; he loves them.
Perfect for training!
By i *heart* my border collie
from Pittsburgh, PA
Great size for training treats. My pup loves them! Zukes makes some great products and I'm a fan of all of them and so is my dog! :)

Now, the 53-year-old certified trainer from Pacifica, Calif., teaches multiple classes all over the country, including at Yosemite and Rocky Mountain National Park, and at adventure stores, local recreation stores and senior activity centers.

Her roster of students has expanded to people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s. They want balance, stability and endurance to drive their exercise routine to greater heights — even with inflammatory joints that limit weight-bearing pressure on hips, knees and feet.
"Trekking with poles is walking with serious attitude," says Paley, who has sold more than 12,000 copies of her trio of DVDs on using poles for hiking, Nordic walking or basic mobility.
As boomers age and remain active, interest is soaring in trekking poles as well as walking canes and sticks. Sales of the aluminum or carbon variety, sold singular or in pairs at sporting good stores and websites, increased 21.5 percent to $29.9 million for fiscal 2010, after a 13 percent spike from 2009 to 2010, according to Jim Hartford, chief marketing analyst for SportsOneSource Group, a retail research firm in Charlotte, N.C. Online retailers are stepping up their response to consumer demand with even more variety of models, he adds.
Case in point is SierraTradingPost.com, where hard-goods buyer Chris Rogers reports that orders for trekking poles are up 30 percent from 2009 to 2010. Consumers can find a wide degree of adjustability, enhanced shock absorbers and even a device on the handle that positions a camera to capture photos of the wilderness.
Support for active lifestyles
The newest technology include quick, external locks on two sections of the poles that are easy for people with arthritis to operate and easier to adjust for uphill and downhill trails.
Poles enable walkers to go farther along forest trails by spreading their weight onto two lightweight devices, which helps alleviate pressure on fragile hips and knee joints. Senior citizen centers and YMCAs offer classes across the country to teach proper technique.
Heinz Johnson, 82, a hike leader in San Antonio, says he and his wife use aluminum walking sticks on trails. "Lot of value to the poles," says Johnson, who likes the stability that the devices lend for walking over rocks and through small streams on hiking trails.

Sebastian Vettel admits it was "a bit of a surprise" to see Red Bull dominate Friday's practice sessions in Hungary...
Sebastian Vettel admits it was "a bit of a surprise" to see Red Bull dominate Friday's practice sessions in Hungary.
Having topped the timesheets in P1 with a 1:22.723, the German went even quicker in the afternoon with a 1:21.264 on the softer compounds while his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber was second fastest on both occasions.
With Vettel also winning two of the previous three grands prix, his rivals are no doubt a bit worried ahead of Sunday's race, but the defending World Champion warns that the rest of the pack will step up on Saturday.
"I think it is too early to tell. First practice and second practice were very good for us, which I think is a bit of a surprise," said Vettel.
"You try to do what you can and you don't know where the others are, but I think tomorrow will be closer and we have to make sure we get everything out of the car tomorrow."
He added: "It's nice when you feel in control of the car and you can play around. I think the car suits the track.
"There is still a bit of work to do but we need to make sure we get everything out of the car tomorrow."
Australian Webber, who was just 0.044 off Vettel's pace in the afternoon, was pleased with his day's work.
"We will see what the opposition are doing a little bit tonight, generally we focused on ourselves today and did a pretty good job, I must say," he said.
"We had a bit of traffic I think, but apart from that it was pretty smooth, to be honest. Everyone is doing their own programme.
"In the end we kept our head down, shifted away at our own agenda and we don't have a huge amount to go through tonight as the car ran seamlessly. That is a nice bonus in terms of data tonight."

At Wonneberger family gatherings, the question on everyone's lips isn't
"How have you been?" It's …
"Have You Been Screened?"
Regular Screenings Prevent Colon Cancer
If you don't like the idea of colon screenings (and who does?), and
you think the benefits aren't worth the discomfort, there's a
family we'd like you to meet: siblings Bob and John Wonneberger and
Lissa Wonneberger Kowalski, whose family history makes them perfect poster
people for the importance of regular colon screenings.
On the Wonneberger family tree, going back three generations, almost every
family member has had colon cancer or polyps.
Meet Bob: He's Never Had a Symptom
or a Problem
started having colonoscopies in 1990 at age 30," says Bob Wonneberger,
a lawyer living in Milford.
"Thirty is a very young age to start colonoscopies," says Bob.
"The American Cancer Society recommends that people without a family
history start at age 50."
"But with my family history, I wasn't taking any chances,"
Bob explains. "I've been so lucky—my screenings have never
revealed any problems. I only need to have a colonoscopy every five years."
Colonoscopy is a procedure in which a slim, flexible tube
with a tiny camera (the "scope") is passed through the rectum and
up into the colon—the large intestine. The camera provides images of
the inside of the entire colon, right up to the small intestine, so a gastroenterologist
(a physician specializing in diseases of the digestive tract) or a surgeon
can see any problems.
Sigmoidoscopy is a somewhat less invasive procedure. It examines only the
lower third of the colon, and can be done in the doctor's office.
Meet John: His Colonoscopies Have Prevented Colon Cancer
started colonoscopies at age 26," says Bob's brother John, age
40. And it's a good thing, because John has inherited the family tendency.
Some of his colonoscopies have revealed precancerous polyps.
"Polyps are growths, like little raspberries, on the inside wall of the
large intestine," says the Wonnebergers' gastroenterologist, Bridgeport
Hospital–affiliated Howard Taubin, MD. "They may bleed, which can
be detected by a Fecal Occult Blood Test (see box). Left untreated, some types
of polyps can become cancerous. In fact, that's how colon cancer gets
its start. But if polyps are caught early, they can easily be removed during
the colonoscopy by snaring them with a wire loop passed through the scope."
Polyps rarely grow back—but new polyps can occur. That's why
John Wonneberger has his colonoscopies every three to four years. It takes
more than three years for a polyp to become cancerous, so he's confident
that his regular screenings will keep him cancer-free.
Meet Lissa: Her Very First Colonoscopy Saved her Life
Wonneberger Kowalski, age 38, has been more seriously affected than her brothers.
At age 24, a Fecal Occult Blood Test (see box) showed blood in her stool just
before Christmas. "Dr. Taubin did my very first colonoscopy that December
27," she says. "On January 1, I was in Bridgeport Hospital, having
part of my colon removed." The colonoscopy had revealed cancer.
"I was lucky—it was in a very early stage. I didn't have
to have chemotherapy—the surgery removed the cancer. Now I have colonoscopy
every three years—and there have been no more problems!" Lissa
says thankfully.
"You know, colonoscopy isn't so bad these days," says John
Wonneberger. He remembers that years ago, his preparation was much more involved,
and he was more awake and aware during the procedure. "Back then, I'd
be uncomfortable afterwards."
"But now it's so easy," says Bob Wonneberger. "You're
on a liquid diet from noon of the day before, plus you take laxatives. During
the procedure you're pretty well sedated, so you mostly sleep through
it. I only miss a day and a half of work. It's a very small price to
pay for warding off colon cancer."
Colon & Rectal Cancer Screening Guidelines
Colon cancer, and colon screenings, are not things people like to think
about. So the American Cancer Society (ACS) has done some of the thinking
for you. To help prevent colon cancer, the ACS recommends that people age
50 and older who do not have any symptoms of colon problems should follow
one of the examination schedules listed below:
"If a precancerous polyp is ever found, repeat colonoscopy should
be done in three years, and if clean, every 10 years after that, or every
five years if there's a family history," says Dr. Taubin.
The Next Generation
The Wonnebergers' family history is unusual. Colon cancer can be hereditary,
but even in families that have the colon cancer gene, it doesn't normally
cut such a wide swath. And it's important to know that if a relative
of yours had colon cancer, that doesn't necessarily mean that you have
the gene or that you and your children are sure to get it.
But in view of their history, Bob, John, and Lissa are now thinking about

This is a quality Vernet fingertip that can be used as a fingertip by adults, or as a small size Thumb Tip for children or adults with small hands.
Deceptive digits, or false fingertips, are the one "must have" gimmick for every magician! A fake finger is the most popular and most used device in magic. Use it to vanish silks, confetti, glitter, salt- even water- in your bare hand.
Of course, you can use it to produce items as well. Vanish some salt, show your hand empty, then pour the salt out of your bare hand!
Keep one of these in every pocket- you'll be using it often!
Since this tip comes with basic instructions only, you'll get a lot more out of it if you also purchase a book or DVD on Thumb Tips (see the book and DVD listed below).
Circumference of the tip is 2.5" around the base.

TBF recently attended Pierre Cardin's fashion show and let us tell you – it blew us away.
Whether Cardin's designs were wearable or not, didn't seem to be the point, really. This isn't to say that nothing was wearable, because there were some pretty amazing statement pieces that walked down that runway that real people could probably pull off. Cardin, did, after all, invent the "bubble dress" so he's not entirely detached from reality. Yet, most of his work, seemed to be completely in the realm of art, and truly inspired.
Cardin is known for being totally avant-garde and focusing on space age, and geometric designs. We can say with confidence, that this is right on the money. However, it's totally possible to look at his work and see some really great trends that are cropping up all over the place.
For one, statement hats are truly becoming mainstream again and Cardin, though over-the-top, displayed some really elegant looks. He also played around with oversized bows a la the '80's, which are truly back in the mainstream after Lady Gaga's famous hair bow and other designers utilizing this embellishment! His models appeared to be like Christmas gifts all wrapped up, but we got the idea.
Color blocking seemed to be huge on Cardin's radar this season as well. He expertly matched autumnal shades and neutrals. We saw the whole rainbow, really, but he has a knack for knowing how to put different colorful items together. Take notes, readers!
What we really loved about the items we saw sashay down the runway, is how creatively Cardin plays with silhouettes for women and even men. He seemed to emphasize flowing fabric on a woman's body by draping large swaths of it in various ways on dresses. He played with sleeves, necklines and hip proportions, and while his designs might be a bit funky for the typical budget fashionista (not to mention unaffordable) he is a great inspiration point. You can totally shop similar looks but with a mainstream spin.
His show, which was one of the longest when we've seen, seemed to simultaneously be a travel through history and fairytales and a leap into the shiny, futuristic, uh…future. If nothing else, check out his looks and you'll be feeling a little more avant-garde yourself.

Dealing with Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is when a man is not able to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs. It's often a side effect of the treatments for prostate cancer. Some men have chronic, complete erectile dysfunction, called impotence. Others have partial or brief erections. Younger men are more likely to regain sexual potency after treatment than older men. Plus, a man's ability to have an erection before surgery or radiation greatly influences whether he will have erectile function after treatment. Men who were able to maintain strong erections before treatment are also more likely to maintain them after treatment compared with men who had problems before treatment.
In men who have surgery to remove the prostate, called radical prostatectomy, erectile dysfunction rates have been reported to range anywhere from about 10 to 75 percent, depending on the man's age and other factors. For example, the rates of dysfunction are lower when surgeons can use nerve-sparing techniques. In older studies, around half to 75 percent of men had problems with erectile dysfunction after radiation treatment (although some of them had problems before treatment). These numbers may be declining with newer radiation techniques, according to the American Cancer Society.
Despite the incidence of erectile dysfunction after treatment, doctors and nurses may not always discuss the issue with men. It's important to start this discussion with your health care team before treatment so that you have an idea of your risk for erectile dysfunction and what to expect. Keep in mind, though, that doctors and nurses can only give you an educated estimate based on what they know about you and your cancer. They can't tell you for sure what will happen.
Men who have erectile dysfunction after treatment may also feel uncomfortable talking about it with their health care team and even with their partners. The discussions should happen, though, because erectile dysfunction is treatable. Keep reading to learn how to start the discussion about your sexual health after prostate cancer treatment and to learn what your options are if you experience impotence after treatment.
Communication: The first step in overcoming erectile dysfunction
The first step in treating erectile dysfunction is talking about it.
The key message is that if you are willing to bring it up and discuss it with a health care professional, there are multiple alternatives to help you. A significant percentage of men will respond to therapies.
You can bring up the topic by saying something like, "I have a concern. I have not been able to have an erection or have an erection as often." Or you might say, "I can have an erection, but it does not maintain itself."
Some men may find it helpful to discuss erectile dysfunction with other men who are also experiencing it. Many support groups can connect you with others facing similar issues. For example, Us Too is a prostate cancer education and support group that has local chapters where men can talk with each other. See the group's website to find a support group near you.
Treatment for erectile dysfunction
Your choices for treatment include pills, such as Viagra (sildenafil), vacuum devices, penile injections, and penile prosthesis.
Oral medications, such as Viagra (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil), and Cialis (tadalafil), are taken in pill form and absorbed into the bloodstream. The drugs work by inhibiting an enzyme found mainly in the penis. The result is increased blood flow to the penis and a fuller erection.
The most common side effects of these pills are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less common side effects are bluish or blurred vision and sensitivity to light, and a thorough eye exam may be recommended before using these drugs. They can also have serious interactions with some other drugs, such as nitrates taken for chest pains. Men with heart problems should check with their doctor before using these drugs.
Vacuum devices are tools that help men develop an erection suitable for intercourse. The device works by drawing blood into the penis and keeping it there. To use it, a man inserts his penis into a hollow, plastic tube that is then pressed against the body, creating a seal. A small hand pump creates the vacuum, which draws blood into the penis, causing it to become hard. After a few minutes of pumping, the man places a small, rubber ring around the base of the penis so that the erection can be maintained.
Side effects of vacuum devices include coldness or numbness in the penis after the rubber ring has been removed. Also, the vacuum device may interfere with foreplay.
Penile injections are self-injections. A man or his partner uses a tiny needle to inject medicine directly into the side of the penis. The injections begin to work within five to 15 minutes and create an erection. A doctor can teach a man how to inject himself. A similar treatment is a small dissolvable pellet that is inserted into the tip of the penis.
Side effects include dizziness or feeling flushed. Prolonged or lengthy erections may also be a problem. Men should seek medical attention if they have an erection lasting longer than four hours.
Penile implants are a type of prosthesis that a surgeon places inside the penis. Penile implants are tubes that can mimic the erection process. There are three types of implants. They are the semi-rigid, the inflatable, and the self-contained inflatable.
Implants are the most invasive procedure because they require surgery. As with any surgery, there's a risk for infection. In rare cases, after getting an implant, men experience numbness at the head of the penis or find intercourse uncomfortable. If the implants are removed, men are at an increased risk for erectile dysfunction because the implant permanently changes the internal structure of the penis.
The emotional effects of erectile dysfunction
Just as open communication is important between a man and his doctor for getting treatment for erectile dysfunction, communication is equally important between a man and his partner. Being open with your partner about your fears and concerns is the first step in overcoming them.
