Retin-a Micro is used for acne as well as stretch marks in some cases. It actually causes new skin to form over a months when applied. It's used off label to get rid of wrinkles in older people. Retin-a micro cause a redness and other problems depending on the strength. I wouldn't wax your eyebrows if you use retin a micro do to inflammation which my develop. I would pluck while you're on Retin-a. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Ukraine Plans Eurobond as Deputy Minister Sees IMF Cash
Ukraine's government is seeking to sell Eurobonds under a U.S. guarantee as foreign aid flows help stabilize financial markets, Deputy Finance Minister Vitaliy Lisovenko said.
The former Soviet republic will probably receive the first part of a $17 billion International Monetary Fund bailout next month, along with smaller payouts from the European Union, the World Bank and Japan, Lisovenko said in an interview in Kiev April 25. The government has to meet $9 billion in foreign-currency debt payments due this year, he said.
Lisovenko said the first international aid payments next month will help turn sentiment toward the economy, which the IMF predicts will shrink by 5 percent this year. Ukraine's benchmark Eurobonds are heading for the biggest monthly slump since June amid deadly conflict in the country's east between the government and pro-Russian separatists after President Vladimir Putin annexed Ukraine's Crimea region last month.
"We will get a good amount of money and this should positively affect expectations for the Ukrainian economy," Lisovenko said. "Ukraine will issue Eurobonds under U.S. government guarantees in May" and could return to international debt markets later in 2014, he said.
The yield on the dollar notes due April 2023 dropped 12 basis points to 10.21 percent at 12:07 p.m. in Kiev, falling from a one-month high. The hryvnia was little changed at 11.55 per dollar, having declined 29 percent this year, the most among more than 100 currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
U.S. Sanctions
"Now there's little demand for the long-term debt," Lisovenko said. "After the situation stabilizes, which we expect during the next two months, demand for longer-term debt should also resume."
The U.S. imposed new sanctions yesterday on seven Russian officials and 17 companies linked to Putin's inner circle involved in banking, energy and infrastructure. The list includes Igor Sechin, chief executive officer of OAO Rosneft, the country's biggest oil company.
In the worst confrontation with the U.S. and its European allies since the Cold War, Russia has started military exercises on Ukraine's border, where the North Atlantic Treaty Organization says Putin is massing about 40,000 troops in battle readiness. The U.S. and EU say Russia hasn't lived up to an accord signed April 17 in Geneva intended to defuse the situation.
Mobius 'Trap'
While the Ukrainian government contests Putin's takeover of Crimea, Russia is not planning to repeat what happened in the Black Sea peninsula in southeast Ukraine, Interfax reported today, citing comments by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov broadcast on Gazeta.ru.
"Even as yields keep rising, political and economic risks are still too big" to hold any Ukrainian government debt, Viktor Szabo, who helps oversee more than $11 billion in emerging-market debt at Aberdeen Asset Management Plc, said by e-mail.
Mark Mobius, who oversees about $50 billion as executive chairman of Templeton Emerging Markets, said yesterday the company is trapped with its Ukraine equity holdings and isn't selling them. The Ukrainian Equities Index declined 1.3 percent, paring this month's increase to 8.6 percent. An index of Ukrainian stocks listed in Warsaw rose 0.3 percent yesterday, trimming this year's drop to 33 percent.
Budget Improvement
Templeton is keeping its holdings of Ukrainian companies, "mainly in the western area," where "business goes on as usual," Mobius said in an interview in Bucharest. "In fact some of these companies benefit from the devaluation of the hryvnia because they become very export competitive."
Aside from the IMF aid, Ukraine stands to receive $750 million from the World Bank, 600 million euros ($832 million) from the European Union and $100 million from Japan in May, Lisovenko said. Inflows from taxes and foreign trade are also shoring up the budget after a tough start of the year, he said.
"At the beginning of 2014, we had moments when there was only a couple of million hryvnia on a single treasury account," Lisovenko said. "I can't say we have solved now all the problems -- the situation with the account stayed rather difficult -- but we managed to stabilize it."

Aww Did you get to pet it?
No, I don't think he'd like it much...
When I liked in Vacaville, there were 4 foxes living under a wooden bridge that we had on the property. I would give them extra fish that I caught and one day after knowing I meant them no harm one came up while I was sitting on the RV stairs and i offered it a bit of raw salmon and although it didn't take it out of my hand i could feel its breath on my hand ^^ I gave it the salmon and it took it and went about 15 feet away and lay down with it and ate it. Over here now in Nevada I haven't seen any foxes at all, although old timers swear they're around.
indeed cute!

I am very picking about how a mattress pad fits, really dislike when the pad bunches up or becomes loose. This mattress pad exceeded my expectations with its snug fit that stays put.
I finally found a great quality mattress pad for my crib mattresses. I only ordered one because I've been through tons of pads over the years with my 4 children. This pad is big and fits, even my very large crib mattresses, beautifully . The cushion is very comfy and soft. It has a large velcro panel across the back to keep it securely over the corners. I'll be ordering more for spares.
This mattress pad is AWESOME!!!
It fits perfectly my baby's mattress (Sealy Baby - Ortho Rest Crib and Toddler Bed Mattress). It has the perfect padding, not too soft not too hard and not cold plastic at all!!!
My baby sleeps sooooo much better...he is 5 moths and slept 10 hours in that mattress w/ the padding. Now if you're a mom you know that's priceless.
Great value Great pad!!!!
Don't look anymore just buy it!!!
I bought this mattress pad to go over out daugher's mattress and it does a great job. I goes under the mattress a good ways and it stays put. Great product for the money paid!
a cushiony, secure fitting mattress pad, worth the money

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore-in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).

Obama and 'It's Pat' continue to play Russian Roulette with our National Security!
Our enemies are laughing at us. They really thought it would be harder to destroy us, but we're making it very easy.
What ever happened to the "devout Muslim" woman that was a close confidant and aid to Michelle? Haven't heard a whisper about her in a couple of years.

This is good fodder for a GOP 2012 advert.
Old news.
Nonetheless, send to your liberal Jewish friends. Then sit back and observe the denial followed by amazing contortions of rationalizations.
Did NO politician raise the hew and cry?
Is this why the donald is all over the airways?
Do I have enough ammo?
they'll just say they wanted someone who can think like a terrorist
"...This is good fodder for a GOP 2012 advert..."
If they had balls, yeah, it would be.
I just got it ... when did this happen?
What... A Democrat ad saying, "He was appointed in 2009, FR picked up the story in 2011...and he still hadn't blown anything up..."?
The Republican'ts are infected with 'trust' for their enemies. And yes, the democrats now systematically destroying The Republic are THE ENEMY. McCain's idiot 'hands across the aisle' policy has done more to destroy the Republic's chance to survive a Barry the Bastard regime and neuter the Republicant's than anything the criminal enterprise democrats could accomplish. 'But he's a war hero' *spit*
Janet Napolitano is worse than incompetent.
Couldn't agree with you more, MHG.
I have as much contempt for the communist/socialist dems as I do for the traitorous RINOs, and the feckless "good ol' boy" network in the GOP that does NOTHING to stop them.
We're fast approaching critical mass in this country.
SNOPES................funded by GEORGE SOROS. Just like FACKCHECK.
Very good.
Very bad.
Sometimes the biggest and most "vehement" anti Communists, socialists, Ba'athist, Islamists whatever are those that came from those systems and/or cultures and were repulsed and disgusted by it. Often these types use their insight to destroy the enemy, i.e. as with the Nazi's in WWII (Many Germans that fled worked diligently to bring that regime down). Of course the other alternative is that they have misplaces loyalties and sympathize with the enemy or are confused on which side they stand, debating in their own head the philosophies of two mutually exclusive ideologies unsure about which one is virtuous and their own. There seldom is a middle ground with people like this. - IMHO
I have noticed that SNOPES is itself not always trustworthy to fact check things.
They have their own leanings and play games as well.
>>> Obama and Its Pat continue to play Russian Roulette with our National Security!
I thought Russian Roulette was played with only 1 bullet in a 6 round revolving chamber.
Looks to me like ALL chambers are loaded... with armor piercing ammunition!
In order to play russian roulette dont you have to point the gun at your own head?
Obama isn't one of us.
No kidding. Read up on the founders of Snopes - they aren't trustworthy.
Is that even possible?
Snopes is NOT a good source for facts.
Soros has his dirty marxist hands in a lot of things. Or maybe it should be his marxist hands dirty a lot of things...take your pick, good brother.
He's in his 80s. Hopefully, time will catch up with him real soon.
He is trying to rearrange our country and it's foundations, that is a given.
What a dirty filthy man he is, not surprised he found and equally filthy group to suck on his teat-the dem party.
Oh-I'm a 'sister' :^)
RE Sister: Ooops!!!! Well, then, I'm YOUR good brother!!! Hahah!
How's that for putting your enemy in power? I would say this is treason.
Who believes Snopes?
American voters wanted this man in power. Now we have to live with what he does.
Soros has, almost literally, an army of children, their spouses, grandchildren, "associates", personal friends and fellow travelers that are in his complex web of international communist and socialist front-groups that will last for the next 500 years—or until we have a ONE WORLD government, which ever comes first.

so the problem is following (talking about search query now):
- I need to search for exact words only, not strings of characters inside a word
- I'm running a slovak website, so if the client searches for "oci", the results must show "oči" and "očí" as well
I tried query parameters such as "s=xxx&sentence=1", which still searches inside a word and "s=xxx&exact=1" which searches for exact words, but doesn't support the second condition mentioned above.
I didn't find any solution until now, I'd really appreciate some help. Thank you :)


text: This plugin is awesome as it really provides a lot of versatility in design. I'm wondering if it is possible to modify it to user in more then one widget area, or to be added more then once to a given widget area. My scenario requires using it in two separate widget areas, but the areas themselves are only used by certain template pages. So it won't actually show up more then once on a given page if its an ID conflict and not using classes. Anyways... going to embark on seeing if it is possible. I hope so!

10 Questions with Jenni Bowlin, Owner of Jenni Bowlin Studio
Author: Andrea Steed
When I think of vintage objects, flea market finds, and gorgeous details, one designer in particular comes to mind: Jenni Bowlin. I was first introduced to Jenni's signature style at a CHA event at the Li'l Davis Designs booth. Fast forward a few short years, and now Jenni has an enterprise of her own, with a one-of-a-kind kit club and a wholesale product line called Jenni Bowlin Studio. I had the opportunity to re-meet Jenni and work with her at a recent event and fell in love all over again with her style and down-to-earth personality. Learn more about Jenni Bowlin and her products:
- What is your academic background? Do you have any technical training in arts and design, or is it just a natural gift?
Ironically, I was on an art degree track for one semester before deciding I could never make a living that way and changed to the business side of things. I went into advertising as a media buyer (the least creative part!) and ended up starting out at less then I probably could have made at McDonalds!
- What attracted you to the scrapbooking industry?
It was a mix of everything that I loved to do. Design, painting, journaling, photography - what other hobby gives you the chance to incorporate so many mediums??
- Many people know you from your work with Li'l Davis Designs. How did you get involved with designing for them?
I had just started designing layouts and teaching for a store in my area when a convention came to town. The store had a booth as well as Li'l Davis. Tricia saw the layouts in the store's booth and asked to meet me. That is how my journey began!
- Have you always wanted to own your own company? How did the process of making that step out on your own come about?
No - in fact I specifically said I would never do it. I think ultimately it is in my blood and when I am not involved in it I just think about how to become involved again! My husband is the "push" on the business end. I would dream all day and never take action. It's important to have someone like that along for the ride with you!
- Tell us about your company. When did you start it and what sort of products and kits do you offer?
We started out as an online kit club. I really wanted to do something different so from the get-go I tried to incorporate things that you couldn't just find anywhere. I started designing product for the kits as well, not realizing that this was going to push me into the wholesale business. That is exactly what happened and we officially launched Jenni Bowlin Studio wholesale at CHA in January.
- Kits are a great way to purchase coordinating supplies. How do you recommend your kits be used to their fullest potential?
I guess that is the beauty of a kit - you don't need to think too much about it! I have many customers who copy the gallery layouts each month just as is and others who like to do their own thing. You get to be creative but you don't have to spend an hour pulling things out of your workspace to coordinate a layout.
- Where do you turn for inspiration for new products for your line?
The past - plain and simple. Everything I design is based on something old. Whether it is the pattern I found on the back of an old book or the pile of dusty bingo cards I have collected for years - I really believe there is something timeless to these designs that you just don't see anymore (and may never see again).
- What is your favorite aspect of working for your own company?
You control your own destiny. That is the biggie. There are a lot of negatives that go along with that (such as working 14-hour days) but in the end, considering my husband and I do this together, we hope that we are teaching our kids a lot of life lessons along the way and can create products that effect people's lives positively.
- What is your no-fail, always works, staple supply or embellishment?
- What's next for Jenni Bowlin? Any new projects or products on the horizon?
We are giving a facelift to our website and we are working on some new features. As far as products go . . . I always have something up my sleeve. Just as soon as I think I'm all tapped out, something else seems to pop into my brain (and it usually happens at 3:00 in the morning)!
Jenni Bowlin resides in Nashville, TN with her husband and two young sons. She is the owner and the creative force behind Jenni Bowlin Studio - a web-based company offering monthly papercrafting kits and inspiration and most recently an exclusive product line that can be found in paper arts stores across the country and on the web. Everything she creates has a vintage edge and a general "re-invention" theme. She is a published designer, having landed on the pages of Creating Keepsakes, Autumn Leaves Publications, Family Circle and Mary Engelbreit Home Companion. Jenni is also an accomplished teacher, offering classes at stores and conventions across the country.

Earnings are on Thursday, so we should get some good buying opportunities before and after as people lighten up their position. As long as silver stays bid, these should be good buying opportunities with good hedges. I am bidding below 22.35 with silver here near 19.60. On the upside, i like selling selling or shorting SLW at 23.30 on the day. Though I think the upside will be capped until the market digests another poor earnings report in light of another drop in avg. sell through price in the first quarter.
Got filled on some at my bid and shorted some silver at 19.60. Very little short interest, so the pressure should be to the downside all week as people unload. I will bid now at 22 for some more.

Dr. Gott: Spit out the pits; cherry stones are indigestible
Dear Dr. Gott: I enjoy your column very much. I have a question that I haven't seen before in your column. My sister, who lives in the Midwest, eats cherries with the pits in them. She eats about 10 pounds of them during the summer months. She said that it is too much of a bother to take the pit out of each one. Her doctor doesn't see any harm in it. Besides the potential for choking, could it harm her body? She is in her mid-40s and has been doing this for years. She agrees to abide by your decision.
Dr. Gott: Exercise, active lifestyle promote good health
Dear Dr. Gott: I am a relatively healthy, active 56-year-old female with controlled hypertension. I have been advised by my internist that I exercise excessively. My doctor highly recommends I reduce my exercise program. I walk two half-marathons a year (14- to 15-minute miles) and have for the past four years. I train for them by taking long walks at least one day a week, in addition to working with a personal trainer in a group setting three hours a week. (That's one hour each Monday, Wednesday and Friday.) I weigh 190 pounds and am 5 feet 9 inches tall. As you can see, I am not thin, so his advice has nothing to do with my stature.

Dumfries Infirmary wards closed by winter sickness bug
- 9 May 2012
- From the section South Scotland
A total of 46 patients and 13 staff have been hit by an outbreak of what is believed to be the norovirus winter vomiting bug at Dumfries Infirmary.
The first case was reported on Saturday and now four wards have been closed to new admissions.
NHS Dumfries and Galloway said its outbreak control team had been meeting daily to monitor the situation.
A spokesman said that "robust infection control measures" had been put in place to tackle the issue.
A spokesman appealed to the public to follow hand hygiene advice in order to help "restrict the spread of infection as far as possible".
"Any family member or visitor who may have concerns about whether it is appropriate to visit a loved one should contact the ward concerned in advance and discuss their particular circumstances with a senior member of the nursing team," he said.
"The norovirus - which is yet to be formally confirmed - is very common in the community around this time and such outbreaks can reflect what has been happening in the community at large.
"We urge all the public to follow good hand washing and hygiene precautions in their own areas."

Rosina DiLullo Gore, 90, a soloist with the Lyric Opera of Philadelphia in the 1950s and 1960s who became a choir director at churches in Montgomery County, died Friday, Aug. 31, at her home in Ambler.
"She sang the role of Frasquita in the opera Carmen with the Philadelphia Lyric," in a 1962 production starring Franco Corelli and Marilyn Horne at the Academy of Music, daughter Elissa said in a phone interview.
"She had a nice career," her daughter said. "We should all be so lucky."
Mrs. Gore began her career with the Miami Opera Guild in the 1950s and appeared with the Little Lyric Opera of Philadelphia while with the Lyric itself.

The author of the best-selling Harry Hole series now gives us an electrifying stand-alone novel set inside Oslo's maze of especially venal, high-level corruption.
Sonny Lofthus is a strangely charismatic and complacent young man. Sonny's been in prison for a dozen years, nearly half his life. The inmates who seek out his uncanny abilities to soothe leave his cell feeling absolved. They don't know or care that Sonny has a serious heroin habit - or where or how he gets his uninterrupted supply of the drug. Or that he's serving time for other peoples' crimes.
Sonny took the first steps toward addiction when his father took his own life rather than face exposure as a corrupt cop. Now Sonny is the seemingly malleable center of a whole infrastructure of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest - all of them focused on keeping him high and in jail. And all of them under the thumb of the Twin, Oslo's crime overlord. As long as Sonny gets his dope, he's happy to play the criminal and the prison's in-house savior.
But when he learns a stunning, long-hidden secret concerning his father, he makes a brilliantly executed escape from prison - and from the person he'd let himself become - and begins hunting down those responsible for the crimes against him.... The darkly looming question is: Who will get to him first - the criminals or the cops?

"A Break From The Harry Hole Series Is a Hit"
Jo Nesbo has said there are advantages and disadvantages when writing about the same universe. The author and reader sharing a knowledge of the back-story might make things a little easier in some cases, but there is a significant challenge in keeping the characters fresh and interesting.
I am a big fan of the Harry Hole series and this book represented a 17 hour investment of my time in a different Nesbo universe - would it be up to the standard set in 12 Harry Hole books?
It was. I've always loved the insights Jo Nesbo gives us into his characters and their motivations. This book had more of the same. It was actually a little refreshing to be immersed in this authors style of writing and not revisiting the same old battles that Harry Hole contends with. We get introduced to different detectives with different flaws and a hero who is viewed by many as a villain.
While listening to this book there never was a moment where i looked at the time remaining and felt like there was work. It was more like - ten hours left ... I don't want this to end.
Being familiar with this authors style at the 16 hour mark I remember having an aha moment. The current was pushing me in one direction and this was fine, but having been tricked so many times before I actually anticipated a twist in the plot. This was one of the few times I've twigged to a Nesbo formula. That did not detract in any way from the book and there were still plenty of Nesbo zigs when I was ready to zag.
In short, this is an excellent book and this review has not imparted any of the story line. Sometimes that is the best way to start a book. So download this gem and start listening.
From 4/12/15 on, I will only rate a book 5 stars if it so good I will listen to it again. To date, the Bino series tops that list.
"Maybe The Best Mystery Novelist Anywhere"
Any one following my reccomendations will know what a huge fan I am of Nesbo's Harry Hole series. That said I was a bit reticent to purchase this one based on some reviews and the publisher's summary. Fortunately I came accross Gail's review and she persuaded me to take the plunge.
The beginning chapters, which are critical to understanding the mystery of the main character, were a bit tedious for me. I may have given up had it not been for my confidence in Nesbo's writing. Somewhere soon after the first few chapters, a remarkable sense of purpose reveals itself to the son as well as to the reader. As the story unravels so does the suspense. This is a fantastic story.
The Son is a complex story of betrayal, shame, pennance, masterful revenge. It involves a great deal of great police work, with remarkable characters.
Gildart Jackson does a great job with the narration.
This is easily a five star book for me!
"Much more than I expected!"
I am a Harry Hole fan, so I expected a good story. This was so much more.
Built on the same format--police, criminals, an evil plot--but unexpected twists and turns with every page. Then the story became more about the people than the plot. Nesbo doesn't write 3-dimensional characters; he takes them even further.
You will never guess the ending!
Tell us about yourself!
"Revenge and Forgiveness"
The Son is in prison for two murders he didn't commit. After hearing information about his fathers murder, he escapes from prison to seek revenge upon the guilty. Simon is the detective on his trail, he knew Sonny's father many years back and doesn't want to see Sonny get hurt. The Twin is also looking for Sonny. He had an important part in the death/suicide of Sonnys father. All this comes together in another thrilling Jo Nesbo story.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Gildart Jackson narrating this book. He touched on the tone of the story making it easy to listen to.
"Did NOT like this narrator"
I really liked this story in the typically dark Scandinavian murder tradition, but the narrator was one of the most wooden readers I've ever listened to. In places it really ruined the story for me. I will avoid Gildart Jackson in the future.
Don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Trip's cool though. Use Audible to make gym-training sane... And rip my imagination.
"Even Better Than Previous Nesbos!"
Is it because these people way up there in the North of Europe have so many loooong nights? Is that why their novels are so dark and cold? This one is pure Nesbo. Which is to say... captivating to the point of kidnapping your attention away from the rest of life.
Now... this starts slowly... the way winter comes on, y'know? But all at once you're in and wandering around inside of Nesbo's full-gust imagination. And Gildart Jackson has a voice that seems to grab its air from an impending thunderstorm. Y'know... a sense of oncoming menace but always just faintly felt.
Liked this production and, didn't see the ending coming, yet it held together like nighttime blood pooled outside during Nesbo's Northern European winters.
I agree with other reviews the narrator was wooden with no emotion - horrible.
Different narrator
"Glad I gave it a second chance"
I bailed out on this book about two hours in, but came back later and started over, and I was glad I did. This was the first Nesbø novel I have read and I was interested enough is his dark, psychological plot that I want to read more of his work.
"Not his best, but still very, very good"
It's hard to review Jo Nesbo novels. One tends to compare them against the author's previous work and it's hard to measure up. I did not think this was one of his best (it's not Snowman). Some of the plot twists are a bit too farfetched and there is never any good reason given for Sonny's ethereal qualities. (Did not really felt the novel needed him to be such an other-worldly guy...Simple goodness would have been just fine.) Still, the story moves with unrelenting pace and the mystery is a good one. Yes, I suspected how it would end sooner than I would have liked but I think that's simply because I am aware of Nesbo's tricks!
If you have not read Nesbo before, try Snowman first. If you are a fan of Nesbo, by all means download The Son. And enjoy!
I hear voices. But maybe that's because there's always an Audible book in my ear.
"Another great book from this terrific writer."
Jo Nesbø impresses me to no end. I love the Harry Hole series and didn't know what to expect with this one. I thought without Harry it would be second rate. I was SO wrong.
This is simply an engaging mystery. Yes, again it's dark like his other books. But the characters are so engaging I could over look it. (Yes, they are implausible. That's why it's fiction.)
There are plenty of reviews on this site with more detail about the book. I don't need to rehash it. What I can tell you is this: if you're a fan of authors like Dennis Lehane, Stieg Larsson, and Adrian McKinty then you need to give Nesbø a listen.

Hiya - sorry if this is in the wrong area of the forum, but I have a question about taxonomies and whether they'd be a solution to the formatting problem I'm anticipating my client having...
I'm building a website for a client. They sell new boats across 4 different manufacturers.
I've set up my code as per below, but as I'm a developer, i obviously know how to amend the code via the HTML view. Every time the visual editor is selected, wordpress loses all formatting and messes up the appearance of my boxes.
Also, in hindsight, if my client wanted to add a new model to the page, then i don't think they'd be able to copy / paste an example from above.
So I'm wondering - would creating a custom taxonomy be the solution? That way, I could get them to enter the data via set fields, and then output it in a consistent way similar to that shown below...

32 Zaffiro

A highly innovative boat with abundance of space emphasised by great attention to detail. The 32 Zaffiro undeniably has distinctive character and style.

If i'm completely barking up the wrong tree, could anyone suggest another method?

Cancer Health Center
Actress Marcia Cross Has a New Role: Cancer Advocate
Marcia Cross's Personal Connection to Cancer continued...
Too many people, Cross would agree, are still confronted with this disease. More than 1.4 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year, and an additional 11 million-plus Americans are classified as cancer survivors. As one of Hollywood's most successful television actresses, Cross has a powerful platform from which to speak -- specifically to promote cancer prevention and early detection.
"Celebrity ambassadors like Marcia are tapped for their degree of influence to extend the reach of our message," says Kathleen Lobb, founding member of SU2C, "which is to communicate to every American that they can do something to end cancer, whether it's to donate one dollar or 1 million dollars to support research, or to change personal behaviors and begin screenings for themselves and their loved ones."
And while she is open to complementary and alternative treatments, Cross says she isn't sure she "would pick one as my first line of defense." But she thinks it's essential to consider "what's available to treat the whole body ... one system should complement the other."
Personal Habits and Cancer
Access to information on different approaches -- both traditional and alternative -- is what's key, says Cross. Right after her husband received his diagnosis, she hit the Internet and can't imagine not having it as a resource during their time of crisis. "I read so many case histories," she says. "The amount of information I needed to absorb ... I was spouting off other people's experiences to Tom. ... It was invaluable. We went into appointments with our doctors already familiar with what they were suggesting. And it offered us a sense of control, too, because we could make informed decisions."
The real question to ask, Cross thinks, is: Why is there so much cancer out there in the first place? That's why she is devoting herself to publicly discussing what was, not so long ago, only whispered about -- as if even saying the C-word out loud served as an invitation for rogue cells to wreak havoc.
Her personal connections to the disease also led her to re-examine how she lives. Cross says she has traded regular cleaners for "vinegar and water ... I'm now aware of everything used in my house, everything that gets touched, absorbed into our skin, or ingested." She buys only organic fare and wouldn't dream of eating "junk food or anything processed."
These measures are not possible for everyone, though, and she acknowledges that she's not perfect. "I use organic makeup and do the chemical-free dry cleaning, but I haven't given up my hair dye yet. God knows what it's doing to my scalp. But I'm working on that!"

Reviews From Guests
Such a pity, that boys end their Airbnb cooperation. Yet what a luck for me to be (together with my friend) their last guest! Thank you so much for the delightfull ending of our spanish adventure, it was such a pleasure to meet you both. I wish you all the best, all good in your careers and much better in yout private life and hope to see you (in Barcelona or in Prague) again!
The reservation was canceled 51 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
I havent met Agui and his boyfriend personally, but the communication prior to my arrival was flawless and I had no trouble getting to/from the airport to their place. The location could not have been better, lots of gay bars and clubs around, the beach is 40 minutes away on foot. The room was clean and nicely furnished, but there is virtually no sunlight or fresh air (especially in the high summer) getting into the room, since the small window is faceing an elevator shaft. This really isnt a problem when you are out all the time. Overall i had a great time in Barcelona. thank you.
Really perfect. Very nice, hepful and pleasant guys. The apartment is confortable and quiet. It was a great moment. I recommand +++ !
One more time, PERFECT !
Agui was an AMAZING host. He was very friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely and spacious. Directions to the flat from the airport was easy and convenient. Everything was clean and towels, guide book, hair dryer etc. were all available for use. There is also a kitchen so you can make tea/coffee if needed. The flat is located in a great neighbor and it's close to a metro station that you could take to get around all of Barcelona. I really didn't get to spend much time getting to know Aqui because I was in and out of the flat exploring Barcelona, but he helped me with whatever questions I might have had. Recommend him 100%
Agui and Juan's apartment is in a great Neighbourhood of Barcelona - close to everything! There are two bedrooms available - one in the back and one closer to the elevator (which is the one I stayed in). They are great guys to stay with and had lots of good recommendations for places to eat, go out, etc. there is a bit of noise from the neighbors upstairs (in the front bedroom) but otherwise a great, comfortable place to stay. Would recommend!
Agui and Juan are an AMAZING host. They are very friendly, open-minded and easy to communicate. The room was lovely and spacious overlooking the courtyard so it was quiet at night. Everything was clean and towels, guide book, hair dryer etc. were all available for use. There is also a kitchen so you can make tea/coffee if needed, although the cafe on the corner was excellent for breakfast too. Great neighbourhood with restaurants and Urgell metro was close by. Definitely recommended.
Een week bij Agui en Juan verbleven. Zeker een aanrader. Vriendelijk, gastvrij en warm onthaal, nette en schone kamer en badkamer, handige tips over fietsenhuur en eetgelegenheden in verschillende wijken in Barcelona, goed bereikbaar vanaf het vliegveld en vrij centraal gelegen.
Excellent séjour chez Agui ! Merci encore. L'appartement est très bien situé, très propre et les chambres sont bien au calme. J'ai été accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de discrétion. Je recommande sans hésitation.
Reviews From Hosts
They where great! Perfect and fluent communication. That made me feel before their arrival very confident with them. They where showing all the time very charming and at the same time, very respectful character. I could confirm all that after they left and how clean they left the house. O would love to have guests like them always! Muchas gracias!!
Unfortunately we were not able to meet in person during their stay in Porto. Never the less everything went very smooth regarding the contacts prior to arrival and everything was left perfectly in order when the guest left. Both were very nice and it was a pleasure to receive them in my home. Until a next time stay well.
Agui and Juan were lovely renter, everthing went just perfect right from the start. They left the apartment very clean and in perfect condition. You are always welcome. Thank you so much!
I really liked to know Agui and Juan. They are very friendly and respectful. I also enjoyed being able to speak Portuguese! I recommend this couple to all my friends! mafalda
Juan, the friend of Agui, stayed at my place for a few nights together with his family. They were very friendly, polite and neat. Communication worked excellent at all times, I definetly recommend him to other airbnb hosts!
Juan and his parents were very lovely persons,they has respected the all house rules and they have lleft the apartment very clean and tidy.They are warmly welcome!!!
Great guests! Very kind and interested persons. They left my place clean and tidy. I definately recommend anyone to have them as a guest!
Agui and Juan were excellent guests, they where considerate, clean, sociable and easy to get along with. They took very good care of my home and made the experience very memorable. I would welcome them back to my home at any time.

Agui and Juan Pablo are great friendly people who are very helpful, honest and fun to be with. As for the place they offer, it is a beautiful modernist apartment in a very central location and which they keep very tidy and clean and with a good vibe. Anyways, they are two of the best people I know in the whole world and I am sure that staying with them will be a pleasant stay if you are a respectful and easy going soul ;)

My son lived for 7 days. He was premature because I developed severe pre-eclampsia. He was perfect, just born too soon. Up until delivery he was happy, healthy, and kicking like crazy. I miss him so very much. We are ttc this month and very very scared!
Would you like to share your daughter's story?

Max lived for 10 days. He was born at 27 wks because he had stopped moving and my dr feared he had an infection. He was nearly dead (had an Apgar score of 1, normal is between 7-9 out of 10) when they got him out (c section), but then rebounded and was doing great. Then on the 10th day his PICC line moved a fraction and caused a hole in the wall around his heart, leaking all the fluid onto his heart instead of into it. It was too much pressure and by the time the drs figured out what caused him to crash his body couldn't handle it any more.

I love you, my Ehmily Londyn
Brave baby boy Benjamin lived 9 days. He was born by emergency c-section at 34 weeks on January 18th, however he was farther behind. More like 32 weeks. He wasn't breathing on his own at first, but they got him stabalized and transferred him to a level 3 NICU for testing. He had an umbilical hernia, lungs weren't fully developed, and they discovered that he had severe brain abnormalities. The geneticist also supsected some chromosomal abnormalities but the testing will take weeks to find out for sure. To us, he looked perfect. Words can't express how much my husband and I miss Benjamin. We want to try again but need to wait until the testing comes back to make sure it wasn't something that is likely to happen again.
We didn't know what we were up against. How long he'd be with us or what his life would be like. The doctors were unable (or unwilling) to give us any answers right away. All they told us was that Benjamin's case was peculiar. He was an unusual baby. But no indication that he was going to live a normal life and not have to suffer. They wouldn't even tell us what the likelyhood of Benjamin surviving this would be. Maybe we were just afraid to ask, I don't remember.
However, nature took its course and Benjamin passed away peacefully on January 26th. We find comfort in knowing that he will never have to suffer and that he is a perfect little angel, happy and whole.
Always in our hearts.
He was diagnosed with a heart defect at around 21 weeks gestation. He was to have 3 open heart surgeries, the first one right after birth. He went in for the procedure at 3 days old but was placed on ECMO life support after complications. We let him go after his heart was unable to sustain itself. He got his angel wings on January 31 st.
Like you say, we take comfort in knowing he is not suffering anymore and we will see him again one day. Though I miss him and think about him every day.
Nancy (22) & Marvin (27) together since July 2008 ^DD^ 5/19/09 & ^DS^ 1/18-1/31/13
Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. At least Benjamin and your son will be birthday buddies and keep each other company. :-)
We'll have good days and bad, but never a day that we won't think of our little boys. Today was mostly a good day....but we were flying home from NYC and happened to sit next to two ladies who did nothing but talk about how one of them was pregnant. Sigh...I don't want to rain on someone elses parade or begrudge them that joy, but it hurts and makes me incredibly jealous and incredibly anxious to start trying again. I love Benjamin more than anything, but I was so ready to be a mother. My arms ache for him, however I know that I can't have him. I know it surprises most people, but I want to try again as soon as possible. I'm afraid, though, that this grief might always hang over me and my future family. It's like even if I have another baby, I'll never be able to fully experience the pregnancy or life with a baby the way I would have with Benjamin. All the first time experiences for us both. I feel like the first time I breastfeed my next child, I'll always be thinking "I should have been able to do this with him." The first time I take my baby home from the hospital will not be with my first born child. The first time I get to use the crib, the car seat, the stroller, "this should have been for Benjamin." I worry that I might resent the fact that this would be my second child but my first time being a mother. I hate the fact that I have a son but I don't get to be a mother.
Sorry for the ramble...some pent up emotions and thoughts finally coming to the surface.

Heat waves rise from the sun-burnt landscape as I rest in the shade of a stone column. I am in the Syrian countryside, walking in the ruins of the Roman city of Apamea. It's mid-June, and the temperature has topped 100 degrees.
My stomach is in a raging boil, the result of something I ate last night. Reaching the end of the colonnade, I look for my driver, Abdul, a short, pudgy man with cauliflower ears and a shaven head. All morning we cruised buckled highways in his yellow taxi, shooting across the rises and dips like water-skiers riding the waves. His rudimentary English and my rough Arabic have met halfway to form a workable union. "You want to stop, say stop," he'd say. "You want to eat, we eat."
But eating is now the last thing on my mind. I find Abdul praying in the shade of the entrance booth, a piece of cardboard for his prayer mat. When he is finished, I tell him about my condition. Soon we're back on the road. At the city of Homs, site of a church that displays a piece of cloth believed to be a belt worn by the Virgin Mary, we pay our respects, then plunge into the crowded souk in search of a pharmacy. Abdul quizzes the man in the white jacket behind the counter, and moments later we emerge with a box of tablets.
"See, good—made in Germany," he says.
An hour later, and my stomach has calmed. Abdul pops a tape into the...
