I agree it's not the most well written and snappy ad. Then again you never know your luck in a big mediocrity. He has wryly bemused expression which is a bit endearing. Fine illo, Neil.

WOW! I enjoyed a lot your blog! Cool stuff.
Greetings from Finland! - studio lolo said...
Love the skewed glasses! I don't think this (fictional) ad describes you at all.
- Rrramone said...
really well done. and are you saying you didn't get a lot of replies?? ;-)
- AndyDoodler said...
He just ran the ad in the wrong place- needs to run it in a snooty sea.
Great piece again! - Lori Witzel said...
Great deft wit and pic -- and made me think of this recent book:

Neil, your art shows a level of consciousness not normally maintained by most of the Mediocrity you ridicule.
I like that.
Thank you for you comment on my toast. You said it was ordinary, I made you think otherwise. - ottoblotto said...
Let's face it, size matters.

Willem de Klerk started out — like his younger brother F.W. — a supporter of apartheid. But by the 1980s, this Reformed Dutch theologian and journalist determined that the system of racial segregation needed not just to be reformed, but abolished. Known by his nickname "Wimpie," the elder de Klerk was anything but. His anti-apartheid position earned him no friends in government or, indeed, within his family. He resigned from two newspaper editor posts under pressure.
But his political views and relation to the man who would be president — but no actual government ties — made him uniquely suited to be part of the Afrikaner delegation in the talks dramatized in "Endgame".
At times, the de Klerk brothers were barely on speaking terms, but many believe it was Willem that convinced his younger brother to meet with Nelson Mandela in prison.
In 1989, Willem became a founding member of the Democratic Party, the first non-racial political party in South Africa.
The reformed reformer died on August 7, 2009. "Many of his ideas and insights remain relevant for the future," F.W. de Klerk said in a statement upon his brother's death.

Hiking the CinqueTerre hills
... Corniglia - Vernazza - Monterosso.
In October 2011 these towns were devastated by floods resulting in landslides with villages incurring terrible damage. This meant that many paths along the Cinque Terre were closed. After a huge effort a number of paths were reopened, but unfortunately last year the area again experienced heavy rains so a decision was made to close part of coastal track due to possible landslides, meaning we would ...
Ciao Italy!
... Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia. "The Five Lands" comprises five villages: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and I am not surprised as it is like nothing else in the world. Over the centuries, ...
Day Five - Towering Over Pisa
... tickets to visit each building, or get a grouped ticket that allows you to enter several different buildings - which is what we did. There's an attend at each entrance who scans your ticket and allows you in, that way they know how many you've been in already. So, then, this piece of paper is quite important, right? Guess who lost their's after being inside the Baptistry, the very first building we went in? Yep, me. After searching around, and then ...
Life in Italy
Some of the things I've learned so far: Italians don't eat pasta as their main entree, only as "primo", before their main course! Coffee is an art - Espresso only in the morning, many others offered at all times: cappuccino, latte, macchiato and many more Lots of cured meats of course, salami, ham etc... All hotel rooms have bidets, they must think that North Americans are not-hygienic! Noticed that in most bathtubs ...
A Visit to the home of Puccini
... in Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo and Port Hardy. We visited for about 20 minutes and about midnight, I excused myself and went back to the room.
A few thoughts that occurred to me while dining this evening. First, I'm amazed at the number of people here that still smoke (especially younger people). For some reason, the culture here has been slow to adopt the non-smoking philosophy that's so prevalent at home. Secondly, I've been ...

Just wondering if anyone knows any info on this lake. I was looking at google maps and realized its about 10 minutes from where I live. It's just off of coal creek parkway.
Haven't been there but I can make some guesses based on a quick poke around. Go here for stocking info. Scroll down to King County and Boren Lk. Go here for general info and reports. Scroll down to Boren and hit each of "info" and "reports" Up front I'd consider stuff like this: Pros - It's close to home and open year round - At 15 acres you can cover it head to toe (assuming you have something that floats) - Bass and perch might be more forgiving if the trout population gets stubborn - 1,500 is a generous plant for a lake that small Cons - Access is probably a little too good around there (you're probably fine this time of year) - Looks like reports are generally spring/summer and, given the late March plant and small lake size, the likelihood most of those are yanked out in the first few weeks is pretty darn high. Classic characteristic of put-n-take...lots of little fish pulled out in a short window of time, then it dies off. - Plant numbers, lake size, pressure and that bass population just about guarantees limited growth of those trout. What I'd do: Since you're that close, take a season and put some time in. Whether it's a lost cause or has some nice hidden opportunities will only be discovered by a little time spent. No harm to you if it's easy to get to. Worst case, you hit it a number of times between now and Fall and find out it blows (you still had fun in the process). Upside could be some good opportunities for trout at odd times when no one else knows to be there. That could be any part of the year, maybe odd hours during spring/summer even. I'd also pay some attention to the bass...small lake with ample food & cover could mean small trout/big bass. Look around for them early spring, before the planters and crowds show up (some nice big surprises can show in March when it comes to bass). Starting out, go more than once and spend an entire day if that's an option...it's a lot of time but you won't believe what can show itself in the course of a day. You just have to be there. Whatever happens, you stand to learn a lot and that by itself is worth it. Would be cool to see a report if you go, or you're welcome to PM one. Good Luck! Tim
I live about 10 min. from Boren. Fished it briefly from the deck, but its a bit too murky for chironomid fishing, might be worth it to take a small boat or pontoon out to pull leeches and buggers.
My dad's house is a 3 minute walk, literally... I fished it non stop for an entire summer for bass, and it is definently worth it. As long as you stay away from the dock, you will have good fishing. The entire west side of the lake is private, so that is where I stick. I have not chased the trout much, but pulling a bugger works, as well as twisting a dragonfly nymph.
I live on a private lake south of olympia ( scott lake) .I grew up on this lake and fished it for years .Ilearned to fly fish on this lake. Our community plants the lake for a kids derby every year.Every year they plant about 1500 -1700 fish the derby lasts about5 hours and the kids catch about 35-75 trout for about 95-120 kids. No body fishes with flys eccept my grandaughter and I.Last year she caught her 5 trout in 35 min.During the lakes usual bite time at 9;30 till 10;30 you can set your watch by it.After that we went over to the blue gill hole and caught 9 of those till the shut down time of 11;00 .This got her a most fish and largest and most trout in her age class of 6- 10 years,and no some of these fish were not caught by grampa I let mine go,as we always do but we have to keep them for the derby.She has done this for the last 2 years. success like comes from knowing this lake inside and out.Iknow what to use and when when to use my floating or intermediate line.A nymph or a dry.all I can say is every time you fish it you will learn smoething new.Idont allways catch fish but I do a lot better then the bait guys they come by me when iam catching one and ask what iam using. but nobobys heard of a still water bug or apartridge soft hackle. Till now. Good luck
OMG!!! Lake Boren is just a slaughter house for Rainbows during the spring time..I usually limit out in an hour..I also fish for the secret fish that nobody knows about in this lake..The NATIVE CUTTHROATS that can reach salmon size as they are untapped and nobody seems to fish for them..This lake is such a guarentee for fish that I normally get my smoker ready before I head out for this lake..And the Cutthroats are sooooo good eating that I would take them anyday over copper river sockeye..I think I'm gonna get my smoker ready now and hit this lake as we speak..Sounds like a Great plan and might as well get an early start on stocking up my Freezer for the Year..
Boren has LM bass and stocker trout. Fables of monster cutthroat have abounded for decades but the feeder stream is a ditch as well as the outflow.
"YO" Brother J.... Don't forget that you left the bottom part of your oars for your pontoon boat in the back of my truck. On Jan 1st, when we brought in the new year fishing at Lone lake. Call me so we meet, or go fishing again, and I can get the bottom part of your oars to you.
Yeah I heard that fable as well...I even heard that supposedly there's a underwater cave that goes from middle of Lake Washington to Lake Boren and even the Sockeyes migrate there too sometimes..hahaha But? I will say this for a fact..Yes!! in fact there are Monster sized cuts in this Lake..There is a creek called May creek that connects to Lake Washington to Lake Boren and these Native Cuts are the same buggers that You catch in Lake Washington..They are abit of a challenge to catch and There is a special set up I use to catch these lunkers.. The only hint I will give away is this.."They are alot smarter and more suspicious than the planted trouts" Also they have larger eyes and have very sharp eyesight..
So yeah i actually got out there a few times last year fairly early in the season. the planters are really easy to catch (as in most lakes in the area). The planters seem to last longer here than places like Pine or Beaver, even though the lake is smaller. I've gone out one in the fall hoping to find some cuts without the rainbows in the way and haven't had much luck. This lake was the first lake I took my fish cat out on. With the wind, it was a pretty funny sight to be seen. JC, I didn't forget! I was thinking about it last week. I've just been so busy. I'm out of town right now but i'll call you when i get back. We can either go fishing or i can drive up and meet up with you.
Local legend has it that there is a railroad locomotive somehwere on the bottom. Never fished it but grew up close..
Jeff, I'm a new member to the forum but an old timer for fishing Lake Boren. My buddy and I used to fish it in Jr High and High school days back in the late 70's. Being a local I've heard all the old "legends" also, they're colorful but I'll tell you what I've found: The lake has a good inlet, China Creek, which I'm certain supports some natural propagation of salmonids. I've found fry in the creek while poking around with the little ones at the entrance to the plat of the creeks namesake. I have no personal knowledge to the lore of "Monster Cutt's". The lakes outlet to May Creek probably has impediments to migration into lake Boren at the culvert at the road crossing to the south. I remember salmon spawning in the outlet creek below the road as a kid in the early 60's. Back in the 1970's I only caught largemouths to about 13", perch, with a few large enough to develop the "shoulder", sometimes crappie around dusk and one really large brown bullhead. Back in the day when there was a WDFW boat launch people would hit it hard for the put-and-take trout but we didn't target them much and they seemed to disappear quickly. On an interesting sideline the lake used to have a very short but intense hatch of huge (maybe hexagenia?) dark brown mayflies, where it seemed that ever fish would go after during the hatch. If you have a report on your findings I would be interested. I fished Beaver yesterday and along with the usual 8" fish I caught a pair of nicely marked 18" rainbows. Maybe the local lakes will hold up for while.

Bob Rae Rips NDP
I was not expecting any friendly fire between Liberals and Dippers this fall, but it is plausible that the Libs will actually try to win votes back from the NDP. In this salvo Bobby attacked one of the NDP's greatest weaknesses, foreign policy, so he wasn't exactly pulling punches. In the event that these two parties were to merge, the greatest internal divisions would likely occur on matters of foreign policy. The NDP and the Liberals disagreed quite often over Afghanistan (except when it came to accusing our troops of being war criminals).

Quite frankly, not too many people care what Rae thinks about anything. His position is irrelevant.
ReplyDelete BOB RAE the one who bankrupt ontario and prorogued his provincial government for many months. Is he you refer to. Bob Rae is a smooth talker.
Is this the same liberal party that pounded the conservatives over the taliban's abuse while the our troops and many afghans were getting killed by the taliban terrorists?- AnonymousSeptember 27, 2011 at 3:21 PM
Rae knows the dippers well,after all he is still one of them,He has the advantage of being rudely initiated into reality,thats why he abandoned the unicorn,kumbya BS..I dislike Rae but I hope he rips the dipper placeholders to shreds.I often wonder how many of our sons and daughters died because of libsh*t and dipsh*t political posturing.

Food influences the life of every person: from one's personal relationship with food to religious dietary rules to global corporate food production. This course addresses the meanings of food among different cultures, and it explores the ways in which geographic, cultural, political, and economic forces interact to influence our food preferences, health, and nutritional status. How do gender, ethnicity, class, religion, the media, and corporate capitalism influence the manner in which we perceive, acquire, prepare, and consume food? Moreover, how do we, through what and how we eat and do not eat, construct relationships with our bodies, with others, with our histories, with animals, and the environment? We will examine these questions through the use of academic texts, media accounts, personal narratives, art, film, and fieldwork. Students should be willing to participate in class discussion and activities, as well as organized and independent fieldtrips.

I have been wanting to make this recipe ever since I saw it in Cooking Light. I love tofu and ratatouille and so I thought the combination of the two, would be excellent. I was sooo right! This was absolutely delicious- one of the best dinners we have had in a while. I didn't use reduced fat tofu because I had some in the fridge that was not reduced fat, but it still was light. I served it over rice noodles as suggested and it was a hit. And it is all taken care of on the stovetop, as the oven is not fixed yet. I will definitely be making this again!

My type of meal. I love making ratatouille and having it over any type of grain for lunch the next day. It's also great with eggs.

Brazilian federal prosecutors are seeking $10.6bn (£6.8bn) in damages from US-based Chevron Corp because of environmental harm caused by an offshore oil leak.
They are also asking a judge to order Chevron and Transocean, the drilling contractor for the well where the leak occurred in November, to halt all activities in Brazilian territory for an indefinite period.
"During an investigation, the attorney general's office found that Chevron and Transocean were not capable of controlling the damage caused by the spill of nearly 3,000 barrels of oil, proof of a lack of environmental planning and management by the companies," the prosecutors said yesterday.
Chevron said it had received no notice of the action and that the Brazilian oil regulators had not contacted it about the issue. "From the outset, Chevron responded responsibly to the incident at its Frade Field and has dealt transparently with all Brazilian authorities," the company added.
Transocean also said it had not received any official notice of the move by the prosecutors, adding that its rigs continued to operate in Brazilian waters.

I was at the recent Ireland versus England match and was close to Lawes for the first half. Make no mistake about it this is a player who is entirely focussed on hurting other players. I agree with the comments comparing him with Armitage whos's another dirty palyer. The issue form England is that they are both very talented - its possiblem that England could be far better rugby team if they focussed on playing good rugby like in the Will Carling and Jeremy Guscott era. 5 Years ago on England's Courtney L… »

Jesus did not need a temple recommend to enter the temple, nor did any other Jewish person.
Why then is the Mormon temple closed to most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

text: Health Health Is Everybody Mumbling? Try A Hearing Test You Take On The Phone By Ina Jaffe • Dec 21, 2015 Hearing loss can have a negative impact on work. It can lead to social isolation. It can even contribute to dementia. And one-third of Americans 65 and older have some level of hearing impairment. Typically they wait years to get tested. But there's a scientifically validated hearing test that you can take over the telephone in the privacy of your home for just 5 bucks. When Mom Has Alzheimer's, A Stranger Comes For Christmas By Vanessa Rancaño • Dec 21, 2015 On the northern Virginia farm where Helen Downs spent her childhood, Christmas meant a freshly butchered hog and an epic family meal. When she had her own children, Helen brought this spirit of abundance to their home. Veterans Say 'Burn Pits' Created Toxic Clouds That Made Them Sick By Daniel Hajek • Dec 18, 2015 In 2008, Army Reserve Capt. LeRoy Torres returned home to Robstown, Texas, after a tour in Iraq. He went back to work as a state trooper with the Texas Highway Patrol. Torres was a longtime runner. So when a suspect took off on foot one morning, Torres sprinted after him. But something was wrong. A burning sensation in his chest hurt so bad, it almost knocked him down. Most Of The World's Cancer Cases Are Now In Developing Countries By Maanvi Singh • Dec 15, 2015 The world has made a big commitment in recent years to treat and prevent infectious diseases like tuberculosis, AIDS and malaria. But another threat to global health is on the rise: Cancer rates are going up in the developing world. Bodies Through Time: A Historian Traces Our Evolving Relationship With The Dead By editor • Dec 15, 2015 Growing up as the son of a pathologist, Thomas Laqueur says, his father would leave the dinner table to conduct autopsies. Sometimes Laqueur would watch his father prepare pathological samples that he had taken from the bodies. "I lived in a family in which the dead were present," Laqueur explains to Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "My father regarded the dead very routinely, in a way a mortician might regard them. He was interested in them scientifically." A New Study Raises Old Questions About Antidepressants And Autism By Jon Hamilton • Dec 14, 2015 Taking antidepressants during the second or third trimester of pregnancy may increase the risk of having a child with autism spectrum disorder, according to a study of Canadian mothers and children published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics. But scientists not involved in the research say the results are hard to interpret and don't settle the long-running debate about whether expectant mothers with depression should take antidepressants. Mastectomy No Better Than Lumpectomy For Early Breast Cancer By Patti Neighmond • Dec 11, 2015 There are a number of options for women when they learn they have breast cancer in its earliest stages, when the tumor is relatively small and has not yet spread. Each option is similarly effective when it comes to killing cancer cells and preventing the disease from returning. Disease Sleuths Analyze Google Searches To Stop Infections By editor • Dec 10, 2015 With sexually transmitted diseases on the rise, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago think they might have a powerful new weapon to fight their spread: Google searches. The company behind the Web's leading search engine has quietly begun giving researchers access to its data troves to develop analytical models for tracking infectious diseases in real time or close to it. UIC is one of at least four academic institutions that have received access so far, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Google said. Celebrities' Medical Records Tempt Hospital Workers To Snoop By editor • Dec 10, 2015 Improper access to the medical information of celebrities and people in the news has been a bane of health systems around the country for years. The proliferation of electronic medical records systems has made it easier to track and punish those who peek in records for no legitimate reason. Below is a partial list of high-profile breaches and the consequences that followed, compiled from news reports. Small Violations Of Medical Privacy Can Hurt Patients And Erode Trust By editor • Dec 10, 2015 "PPL WORLD WIDE," the Facebook post shouted, using text-speak for the word "people." "FRANCES ... IS HPV POSITIVE!" The public missive from January 2014 gave Frances' full name, along with the revelation that she had human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease that can cause genital warts and cancer. It also included her date of birth and ended with a plea to friends: "PLZ HELP EXPOSE THIS HOE!" A Protein In The Gut May Explain Why Some Can't Stomach Gluten By editor • Dec 9, 2015 If you've found that you are sensitive to gluten — the stretchy protein that makes wheat bread fluffy and pie crusts crisp — perhaps you've had to bear the brunt of the gluten-free backlash. Fewer People Are Getting Diabetes, But The Epidemic Isn't Over By Nancy Shute • Dec 1, 2015 The number of people newly diagnosed with diabetes continues to decline after decades of increases that transformed what was once a disease of the old into a public health crisis that affects even children. That's not to say the crisis is over; 1.4 million people were diagnosed with diabetes in 2014, according to numbers released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's down from 1.7 million new cases in 2009, the fifth straight year of decline. Loneliness May Warp Our Genes, And Our Immune Systems By editor • Nov 30, 2015 Loneliness has been linked to everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's disease. Depression is common among the lonely. Cancers tear through their bodies more rapidly, and viruses hit them harder and more frequently. In the short term, it feels like the loneliness will kill you. A study suggests that's because the pain of loneliness activates the immune pattern of a primordial response commonly known as fight or flight. Gratitude Is Good For The Soul And Helps The Heart, Too By Patti Neighmond • Nov 23, 2015 As we launch into Thanksgiving week, consider this: Research shows that feeling grateful doesn't just make you feel good. It also helps — literally helps — the heart. When A Stranger Leaves You $125 Million By Amy Standen • Nov 21, 2015 One morning last year, when Bryan Bashin sat down to check his email, a peculiarly short note caught his attention. "A businessman has passed away. I think you might want to talk to us," it read. Bashin directs a nonprofit in San Francisco called the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, so he gets a lot of email about donations. But this one felt different. It came from a group of lawyers handling the estate of a Seattle businessman who had died, Donald Sirkin. Zika Virus 101: What We Know, What We're Trying To Find Out By editor • Nov 18, 2015 Note: This post was updated on February 5. As more information comes to light about Zika virus, there will be further updates. A Tiny Pill Monitors Vital Signs From Deep Inside The Body By editor • Nov 18, 2015 After testing all the pieces of a tiny pill-size device, Albert Swiston sent it on a unique journey: through the guts of six live Yorkshire pigs. Pig bodies are a lot like human bodies, and Swiston wanted to know whether the device would be able to monitor vital signs from inside a body. It did. In Caring For Sickest Babies, Doctors Now Tap Parents For Tough Calls By editor • Nov 16, 2015 Dr. William Benitz walks past the rows of clear plastic isolettes in the neonatal intensive care unit at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University. There's little room to navigate — the space is jampacked with beeping machines and ventilators. The health team in the unit can care for as many as 70 fragile infants. One tiny, pink baby girl here today was born weighing 13 ounces. The Oral Polio Vaccine Can Go 'Feral,' But WHO Vows to Tame It By Jason Beaubien • Nov 10, 2015 The oral polio vaccine may go down in history as one of the most powerful public health tools of modern times. Developed by Albert Sabin in 1961, the vaccine is cheap, easy to administer and has pushed polio to the brink of extinction. The joke is that if you can "count to two" you can vaccinate kids against polio. That's because all it takes is squeezing two drops of the vaccine into a child's mouth. More Women Opt For IUD, Contraceptive Implant For Birth Control By Patti Neighmond • Nov 10, 2015 Contraceptive implants and IUDs are very effective in preventing pregnancy — nearly 100 percent, statistics show. A new federal survey finds many more women are making this choice than did a decade ago. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … next › last »

Colon cancer and rectal cancer (also called colorectal cancer) are common in the UK. The colon and rectum are parts of your bowel. Most cases occur in people aged over 50. If bowel cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, there is a good chance of a cure. In general, the more advanced the cancer (the more it has grown and spread), the less chance that treatment will be curative. However, treatment can often slow the progress of the cancer.
Where are the colon or rectum?
The colon and rectum are parts of the bowel or gut (gastrointestinal tract). The gut starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. When we eat or drink, the food and liquid travel down the oesophagus into the stomach. The stomach churns up the food and then passes it into the small intestine.
The small bowel (small intestine) is several metres long and is where food is digested and absorbed. Undigested food, water and waste products are then passed into the large bowel (large intestine). The main part of the large intestine is called the colon, which is about 150 cm long. This is split into four sections: the ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid colon. Some water and salts are absorbed into the body from the colon. The last part of the colon is called the rectum, which is about 15 cm long. The rectum stores stools (faeces) before they are passed out from the anus.
What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease of the cells in the body. The body is made up from millions of tiny cells. There are many different types of cell in the body, and there are many different types of cancer which arise from different types of cell. What all types of cancer have in common is that the cancer cells are abnormal and multiply out of control.
A malignant tumour is a lump or growth of tissue made up from cancer cells which continue to multiply. Malignant tumours invade into nearby tissues and organs, which can cause damage. Malignant tumours may also spread to other parts of the body. This happens if some cells break off from the first (primary) tumour and are carried in the bloodstream or lymph channels to other parts of the body. These small groups of cells may then multiply to form secondary tumours (metastases) in one or more parts of the body. These secondary tumours may then grow, invade and damage nearby tissues and can spread again.
Some cancers are more serious than others, some are more easily treated than others (particularly if diagnosed at an early stage), some have a better outlook (prognosis) than others.
So, cancer is not just one condition. In each case it is important to know exactly what type of cancer has developed, how large it has become and whether it has spread. This will enable you to obtain reliable information on treatment options and outlook.
See separate leaflet called What is Cancer? for further details about cancer in general.
What is colon or rectal cancer?
Cancer of the colon or rectum is sometimes called colorectal cancer, bowel cancer or cancer of the large intestine. It is one of the most common cancers in the UK. (In contrast, cancer of the small intestine is rare.) Bowel cancer can affect any part of the colon or rectum. However, it most commonly develops in the lower part of the descending colon, the sigmoid colon, or rectum.
Bowel cancer usually develops from a small fleshy growth (polyp) which has formed on the lining of the colon or rectum (see below). Sometimes bowel cancer begins from a cell within the lining of the colon or rectum which becomes cancerous.
(Some rare types of cancer arise from various other cells in the wall of the colon or rectum. For example, carcinoid, lymphoma, and sarcomas. These are not dealt with further in this leaflet.) As the cancer cells multiply they form a tumour. The tumour invades deeper into the wall of the colon or rectum. Some cells may break off into the lymph channels or bloodstream. The cancer may then spread (metastasise) to lymph nodes nearby or to other areas of the body - most commonly, the liver and lungs.
Polyps and bowel cancer
A bowel polyp (adenoma) is a small growth that sometimes forms on the inside lining of the colon or rectum. Most bowel polyps develop in older people. About 1 in 4 people over the age of 50 develop at least one bowel polyp. Polyps are non-cancerous (benign) and usually cause no problems.
However, sometimes a benign polyp can turn cancerous. If one does turn cancerous, the change usually takes place after a number of years. Most bowel cancers develop from a polyp that has been present for 5-15 years.
What causes colon or rectal cancer?
The exact reason why a cell becomes cancerous is unclear. It is thought that something damages or alters certain genes in the cell. This makes the cell abnormal and multiply out of control.
See separate leaflet called What Causes Cancer? for more details.
Risk factors
Although bowel cancer can develop for no apparent reason, there are certain risk factors which increase the chance that bowel cancer will develop. Risk factors include:
- Ageing: bowel cancer is more common in older people. Eight out of ten people who are diagnosed with bowel cancer are older than 60 years.
- If a close relative has had bowel cancer (there is some genetic factor).
- If you have familial adenomatous polyposis or hereditary non-polyposis bowel cancer. However, these are rare inherited disorders.
- If you have ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (conditions of the colon) for more than 8-10 years.
- Obesity.
- Lifestyle factors: little exercise, drinking a lot of alcohol.
Protective factors
There is a reduced risk of developing bowel cancer in:
- Women who take hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
- People who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.
- People on aspirin. Several recent research studies have found that taking aspirin each day may reduce the risk of developing bowel cancer. However, there are other risks of taking aspirin (for example, bleeding from the stomach). So, at the moment it is not recommended that people take aspirin only to lower their risk of developing bowel cancer. This advice may change in the future when the results of other studies become available.
What are the symptoms of colon or rectal cancer?
When a bowel cancer first develops and is small it usually causes no symptoms. As it grows, the symptoms that develop can vary, depending on the site of the tumour.
The most common bowel cancer symptoms to first develop are:
- Bleeding from the tumour. You may see blood mixed up with your stools (faeces). Sometimes the blood can make the faeces turn a very dark colour. The bleeding is not usually severe and in many cases it is not noticed, as it is just a small trickle which is mixed with the faeces. However, small amounts of bleeding that occur regularly can lead to anaemia which can make you tired and pale.
- Passing mucus with the faeces.
- A change from your usual bowel habit. This means you may pass faeces more or less often than usual, causing bouts of diarrhoea or constipation.
- A feeling of not fully emptying the rectum after passing faeces.
- Tummy (abdominal) pains.
As the tumour grows in the colon or rectum, symptoms may become worse and can include:
- The same symptoms as above, but more severe.
- You may feel generally unwell, tired or lose weight.
- If the cancer becomes very large, it can cause a blockage (obstruction) of the colon. This causes severe abdominal pain and other symptoms such as being sick (vomiting).
- Sometimes the cancer makes a hole in the wall of the colon or rectum (perforation). If this occurs, the faeces can leak into the abdomen. This causes severe pain.
If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, various other symptoms can develop. The symptoms depend on where it has spread to.
All the above symptoms can be due to other conditions, so tests are needed to confirm bowel cancer.
How is colon or rectal cancer diagnosed and assessed?
Initial assessment
If a doctor suspects that you may have bowel cancer, he or she will examine you. The examination will usually include a rectal examination. This is where a doctor inserts a gloved finger through your anus into your rectum to feel if there is a tumour in the lower part of the rectum. However, often the examination is normal, especially if the cancer is in its early stages. It is likely your doctor will refer you to a specialist. One or more of the following tests may be arranged:
- Colonoscopy. A colonoscopy is a test in which a long, thin, flexible telescope (a colonoscope) is passed through your anus into your rectum and colon. This enables the whole of your colon and rectum to be looked at in detail.
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy. This is similar to colonoscopy. The difference is that a shorter telescope is used which is inserted only into the rectum and sigmoid colon.
- CT colonography. This test uses X-rays to build up a series of images of your colon and rectum. A computer then organises these to create a detailed picture that may show polyps or anything else unusual on the surface of your colon or rectum.
- Barium enema. This X-ray test obtains pictures of your colon and rectum. The colon and rectum do not show up very well on ordinary X-ray pictures. However, if barium liquid is placed in the colon and rectum, their outline shows up clearly on X-ray pictures. This test is not done so much since colonoscopy became available.
See separate leaflets called Colonoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy, CT Colonography and Barium Enema for details.
Biopsy - to confirm the diagnosis
A biopsy entails a small sample of tissue being removed from a part of the body. The sample is then examined under the microscope to look for abnormal cells. If you have a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, the doctor or nurse can take a biopsy of any abnormal tissue. This is done by passing a thin grabbing instrument down a side channel of the colonoscope or sigmoidoscope. It can take up to two weeks for the result of a biopsy.
Assessing the extent and spread
If you are confirmed to have bowel cancer, further tests may be done to assess if it has spread. For example, a CT scan, an MRI scan, or an ultrasound scan. This assessment is called staging of the cancer. The aim of staging is to find out:
- How much the tumour in the colon or rectum has grown, and whether it has grown partially or fully through the wall of the colon or rectum.
- Whether the cancer has spread to local lymph nodes.
- Whether the cancer has spread to other areas of the body (metastasised).
By finding out the stage of the cancer, it helps doctors to advise on the best treatment options. It also gives a reasonable indication of outlook (prognosis). For bowel cancer, it may not be possible to give an accurate staging until after an operation to remove the tumour. The tumour, node, metastasis (TNM) classification system is being increasingly used to stage bowel cancer. See separate leaflet called Staging and Grading Cancer for details.
What is the treatment for a bowel polyp?
If a polyp is found during a colonoscopy (or sigmoidoscopy) it can often be easily removed as described above.
- Most polyps do not contain cancer cells. However, removing the polyp prevents the risk that it may become cancerous sometime in the future.
- Some polyps contain cancer cells. If these cells are confined to within the polyp then the removal of the polyp is curative. If the cells look as if they had begun to spread to the wall of the colon or rectum then an operation may be needed to remove that section of colon or rectum.
What are the treatment options for colon or rectal cancer?
Treatment options that may be considered include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The treatment advised for each case depends on various factors such as the stage of the cancer (how large the cancer is and whether it has spread), and your general health.
You should have a full discussion with a specialist who knows your case. They will be able to give the pros and cons, likely success rate, possible side-effects and other details about the various possible treatment options for your type of cancer.
You should also discuss with your specialist the aims of treatment. For example:
- Treatment may aim to cure the cancer. Some bowel cancers can be cured, particularly if they are treated in the early stages of the disease. (Doctors tend to use the word remission rather than the word cured. Remission means there is no evidence of cancer following treatment. If you are in remission, you may be cured. However, in some cases a cancer returns months or years later. This is why some doctors are reluctant to use the word cured.)
- Treatment may aim to control the cancer. If a cure is not realistic, with treatment it is often possible to limit the growth or spread of the cancer so that it progresses less rapidly. This may keep you free of symptoms for some time.
- Treatment may aim to ease symptoms. If a cure is not possible, treatments may be used to reduce the size of a cancer, which may ease symptoms such as pain. If a cancer is advanced then you may require treatments such as nutritional supplements, painkillers or other techniques to help keep you free of pain and any other symptoms.
It is often possible to remove the primary tumour surgically. Removing the tumour may be curative if the cancer is in an early stage. The common operation is to cut through the colon or rectum above and below the tumour. The affected section is then removed and, if possible, the two cut ends are sewn together.
- Sometimes a temporary colostomy is done to allow the joined ends to heal without stools (faeces) passing through. The colostomy is often reversed in a second operation a few months later when the joined ends of the colon or rectum are well healed.
- If the tumour is low down in the rectum, then the rectum and anus need to be removed. You would then need a permanent colostomy.
A colostomy is where an opening (hole) is made through the wall of the tummy (abdomen). A section of colon is then cut and the edges are attached to the opening in the abdominal wall. This is called a stoma and it allows faeces to pass out from the colon into a disposable bag which is stuck over the stoma.
Even if the cancer is advanced and a cure is not possible, surgery may still have a place to ease symptoms. For example, a stent can be inserted to ease a blocked colon. A stent is a thin metal tube which is placed through a narrowed or blocked section of colon. It can then be opened wide and remains in the colon to prevent a further blockage.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy
One or other of these treatments may be advised depending on the site and stage of the cancer.
- Chemotherapy is a treatment of cancer by using anti-cancer medicines which kill cancer cells or stop them from multiplying. Chemotherapy is increasingly being used for people with bowel cancer. See separate leaflet called Chemotherapy for details.
- Radiotherapy is a treatment which uses high-energy beams of radiation which are focused on cancerous tissue. This kills cancer cells, or stops cancer cells from multiplying. It is most commonly used for bowel cancer when the tumour is in the rectum. See separate leaflet called Radiotherapy for details.
When chemotherapy or radiotherapy is used in addition to surgery it is known as adjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant radiotherapy. For example, following surgery you may be given a course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This aims to kill any cancer cells which may have spread away from the primary tumour site. Sometimes, adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy is given before surgery, to shrink a tumour so that the operation to remove the tumour is easier for a surgeon to do and is more likely to be successful.
What is the outlook (prognosis)?
There has been a substantial improvement in the prognosis of people with bowel cancer over the past decade. Without treatment, a cancerous tumour in the bowel is likely to become larger and spread to other parts of the body. However, in many cases it grows slowly and may remain confined to the lining of the colon or rectum for some months before growing through the wall of the colon or rectum, or spreading. You have a good chance of a cure if you are diagnosed and treated when the cancer is in this early stage.
Figures published in 2009 from the National Cancer Intelligence Network showed that people diagnosed at an early stage (stage A) have more than a 9 in 10 chance of surviving the disease. At present, only about 1 in 7 people with bowel cancer are diagnosed at stage A, as the disease does not often cause symptoms at this early stage. But, screening (see below) may greatly increase the number of people diagnosed at stage A.
If the cancer is diagnosed when it has grown through the wall of the colon or rectum, or spread to other parts of the body, there is less chance of a cure. However, treatment can often slow down the progression of the cancer.
The treatment of cancer is a developing area of medicine. New treatments continue to be developed and the information on outlook above is very general. Your specialist can give more accurate information about your particular outlook, and how well your type and stage of cancer are likely to respond to treatment.
Screening for colon or rectal cancer
A screening test aims to detect a disease before it has caused symptoms and when treatment is likely to be curative.
A simple screening test for bowel cancer, which tests for traces of blood in the stools (faeces), has recently been introduced in the UK. This bowel cancer screening test is to be offered to all people of certain older ages. In addition, some younger people may be offered screening if they have a higher-than-average risk of developing bowel cancer. There is a separate leaflet called Screening for Bowel (Colorectal) Cancer which gives details of the screening programme.

The ARM processor is the most popular processor in the world, with over 1 billion produced annually. ARM based systems also draw very little power, with most using less then 10 watts. The main problem with ARM based systems is the lack of software support for those wishing to take advantage of these low cost computers, our hope is to change that.We have created a Koji Build System for ARM based computers. Koji is the software used by the Fedora Project to test applications and ensure they work on different architectures before being made available to end users. In order to accomplish this we have built a small scale server farm of ARM based machines. These machines report to a central server and request "jobs" , in our case software packages that will be tested with the results being reported back to the maintainer of that software. If the package will not work on ARM, the maintainer will be notified automatically and has the ability to find out why using the web interface. Once the needed changes are made, they may submit the packages again for testing until the software works on ARM as well as the primary architectures, x86 and x86_64. This allows developers to use ARM based machines without having to relearn another operating system, and to take advantage of the over 15,000 packages maintained by the Fedora Project.
I can remember days not that long ago when YellowDog Linux was the best option (and nearly only option) for running Linux on PPC based machines. It seems there is evidence to indicate a trend back in that direction.
While some of these I use often, some of these fall under the cool! - I didn't know that category. I particularly appreciate the ssh tunnelling one-liner and at commands.
This article is a good overview and dip into the Linux boot sequence:

Mike's DAA-HCG LOG
Mike's DAA-HCG LOG
Thanks to Taurus Nutrition for allowing me to try their DAA-HCG product.
D-Aspartic Acid is well known to increase testosterone production. We wanted to see if we could get an improvement on this and boost testosterone levels even higher along with increasing growth hormone as well. Lactate is a little known stimulator of hormones. It is theorized that after strenuous exercise, the body dumps a small amount of lactate into the blood as a signal mechanism to tell it to increase the supply of muscle building hormones. This signaling pathway makes total sense when you think about it! Lactate increased testicular production of testosterone similar to HCG. (1,2) Also may have a profound effect on growth hormone (3).
This is why we say that this product truly is exercise in a bottle from a hormonal perspective. People are coming around to the understanding that blood lactate is indeed a potent stimulator of hormones (will post other articles)
"Lactic acid does not cause that dreaded burning sensation during intense exercise. When lactic acid is made its split into lactate ion (lactate) and hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ion is the bad guy, the acid in lactic acid that interferes with electrical signals in nerve and muscle tissue. And lactic acid is not responsible for any muscle soreness felt the next day or two after a hard workout. That is caused by muscle damage and post-exercise tissue inflammation."
So you see, it's not lactate it's the H- that causes the muscle "burn". You get the benefits of the lactate without the negatives of the H atom!
We looked for the best form of Lactate to give with our D-AA. Well, luckily we found a supplier of Calcium Lactate which gives us both lactate and calcium. Calcium is an important cofactor in testosterone production (4). Now, perhaps you need more calcium but then again perhaps not...
DAA-HCG - 1 Full Month Supply (4 Weeks)
Servings Per Container: ~56
2 Scoops (Filled to Fill Line) Equals:
3g D-Aspartic Acid
1.5g Calcium Lactate (Supplying 1.3g Lactate)
Directions: Fill Scoop To Serving Line For Each Dose. Take 2 Scoops (Filled Only To Scoop Fill Line) Per Day On An Empty Stomach Between Meals Divided Into Two Doses. Cycle Off The Product For At Least 1 Week After Each Container.
D-Aspartic Acid is well studied in cellular metabolism to boost testosterone production via important testicular enzymes. Lactate is a signaling molecule used by the body after intense exercise to stimulate growth and hormone release. Lactacte has been shown in preliminary studies to work in conjunction with D-Aspartic Acid to increase testosterone production, as well as increasing IGF-1 and Growth Hormone Levels. - 02-22-2012, 01:16 PM
Day 1
Taking my 1st serving NOW and hitting the weights sometime in the next hour.
stay tuned...
i plan doing some curls, standing presses, sitting presses, upright rows, and situps... time to get that belly in shape. -
Not a bad workout... the weather is really nice and currently about 75 degrees... worked up a nice little sweat. moved my weights outdoors to get that fresh air... wasn't able to do any situps though... maybe next time
the DAA-HCG didn't bother my stomach at all. - 02-22-2012, 04:59 PM
with plain water.
i have a bunch of water bottles because i buy it by the case. i just scoop it up and dump it into my bottles. -
Took my DAA-HCG upon waking so i can get in an early workout.
got in 4 sets of standing presses - 4 sets of curls - 4 sets of upright rows and 2 sets of sitting presses.
I don't like going into how much weight i'm lifting because i'm not one of the bigger guys on here and i don't need the negative criticism...
I lift what i can and on days where i feel strong and energetic i do an extra set. plus, i can't really push my back too much because i already have a bad situation there and have to live with daily aches/pains
going to run out and get some food... steak and eggs sounds good today. - 02-24-2012, 04:51 PM
In....good luck....sorry I missed this, is This a new log? I thought I had already subbed to your log.
http://pescience.com/insider - 02-26-2012, 04:22 PM
no workout today... i wanted to but i got a call this morning asking me to help cut down some large bushes in a relative's yard. the guy is kind of an older guy so i had to say yes... i guess it was like a workout... a lot of Saw and pruning work... the damn thing had thorns and i had to patch myself up a few times
this is the 5th day on DAA-HCG and i don't notice anything significant yet. - 02-26-2012, 10:05 PM
One thing is for sure... my libido is UP. without going into detail i can tell there is a difference from a week ago... that's a good sign.
stay tuned. - 02-28-2012, 09:01 AM
Four words that can either make our girls happy or sad----"My libido is up!" Lol!
Jeremiah 29:11-14 - 02-29-2012, 12:42 PM
going to hit the weights today... i know the libido is up so the test levels have to be goin up... time to really push it
OK, other than the libido being up there's nothing really significant to report. no sides either.
My strength is about the same... 4 sets of curls 15 reps with the curl bar
4 sets of standing presses and 2 sets of sitting presses 20 reps
4 sets of upright rows
to be honest, i'm happy with my routine and in the past if i push it too much i end up really f$%#ing up my back which aches on a daily basis as it is. - 02-29-2012, 07:55 PM
Whoa!!! Howd i miss this. Hmm...This rep has been slacking.
Libido up is a good sign, especially after 4 days!!
well i dosed on the 22nd 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
so that's more like a week... and yeah, i feel different than i did last week... when you start to think to yourself "i'd hit that fat chick" you know your libido is up... - 03-02-2012, 01:08 PM
i'm going to hit the weights sometime this afternoon... stay tuned.
i am developing some acne on my face and back. i have slightly more oil on my face today. nothing life threatening but definitely not a side i like from taking test boosters. - 03-02-2012, 04:19 PM
i had a lot to do today so i stuck to my basic routine
4 sets of curls 15 reps with the curl bar
4 sets of standing presses and 2 sets of sitting presses 20 reps
4 sets of upright rows
no changes in strength from the slightly increased test as far as i can tell. it's not hindering the gains in any way but just nothing groundbreaking here. - 03-02-2012, 09:05 PM
i forgot to update my log last night after my workout. nothing much to report in terms of anything significant. my strength is about the same as far as i can tell. i am almost a pound heavier though as far as my weight goes... but that's nothing big to report either.
Ok, i got a sample of a pre-workout product in the mail this morning and i thought i would get in a workout... took that with my DAA-HCG and wow... i got in an extra set on my curls and bench. i notice i get immediate improvements in stamina when i take stims lol
DAA is good for getting the strength and stamina over a period of time but for me i get immediate results in strength and stamina when dosing stims... anyway, good workout. - 03-05-2012, 07:55 PM
took the weights outside today... such a nice day. worked up a great sweat too... the pump is unbelievable when doing this.
nothing spectacular to share regarding my use of DAA-HCG however. I just wished the increased test didn't bring along the increased oil production/acne
i'm sure the increased test levels are helping me with endurance and aggression but nothing else as far as i can tell. - 03-08-2012, 04:21 PM
What kind of workout do you do? Like BPJohn said, any increase in strength, whether an extra rep in something or heavier weight used for the first time?
Are you listing your sets in the order you do them? You always list curls first. You'd be better served doing your bigger lifts first and ending with the curls.
thanks for the tip, sxipro
i usually start with the curls 1st then do some upright rows with a curl bar
then i hit the bench press... i noticed when i get all stimmed up i can manage to bust out an extra set on my bench and curls. i might have mentioned that i have a bad back and suffer with spasms from time to time. so, i can't really say that DAA won't add strength for most users, but in my case i tend to take it easier so i don't have to spend any time at the doctor getting pain medication for this back issue (i don't have any medical insurance right now so trying to do what i can to prevent any more unnecessary back pain and yet still have an active lifestyle) - 03-12-2012, 02:54 PM
I had a pretty good workout on saturday and sunday. i really like the libido when taking DAA but i wish i had an AI to take with this because i seem to be gaining a little weight around the belly and chest... i am thinking water weight but i could be wrong.
i need to get some situps in and start working on the mid section a little more... the problem with that is it kills my back when i work my midsection... i even had to give up playing golf because of the aches i get. my shoulders and arms are still getting good workouts though. - 03-15-2012, 03:41 PM
Sorry for not updating yesterday. after my workout i had to do some driving and i was out of town for some time.
DAA-HCG has my test up pretty good as far as my libido and acne is concerned... i'm not sore at all after my workouts except for my nagging back ache i have on a daily basis. As far as my strength is concerned i have to say that i don't feel noticeably different than i did before using the product. that's not to say that DAA-HCG won't improve strength but i tend to lift with more reps and less weight due to the back ache. DAA-HCG does what we expect from it and that's the bottom line.

The measurement of vehicle modal emissions is technically challenging due to the major issue of determining exhaust gas mass flow rate and ensuring that it is synchronous with the emission measurement of that corresponding "slug" of exhaust gas. This is very evident when attempting to measure small passive NOx catalyst conversion efficiencies. This paper highlights alignment issues with regard to the variation of time delays associated with engine and vehicle events and the CO\d2 tracer method for determining exhaust gas flows.

Full news summary: Iran. Iran's nuclear effort in high gear, U.N. says – "Iran has accelerated its program to enrich uranium and defied a United Nations Security Council deadline to suspend nuclear activities, the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said. The report by Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, confirmed that Iran recently began installing the first of 3,000 gas centrifuges in a heavily fortified, underground chamber at its Natanz plant and that it planned to "bring them gradually into operation by May 2007." Rice Warns Iran It Risks Further U.N. Sanctions – "Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned Iran that it will face further punishment and isolation if it forges ahead with efforts to develop a uranium-enrichment program, but she said the United States and other powers are prepared to restart talks aimed at ending the standoff if Iran suspends its most controversial nuclear activities." Iran Expanding Nuclear Effort, Agency Reports– "In open defiance of the United Nations, Iran is steadily expanding its efforts to enrich uranium, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported Thursday. In response, the Bush administration immediately pressed for more severe sanctions against the country, at a moment of greatly increased tensions between Washington and Tehran." US intelligence 'wrong' on Iran – "Much of the intelligence on Iran's nuclear facilities provided to UN inspectors by American spy agencies has turned out to be unfounded, according to diplomatic sources in Vienna." Arab States, Wary of Iran, Add to Their Arsenals but Still Lean on the U.S.– "As fears grow over the escalating confrontation between Iran and the West, Arab states across the Persian Gulf have begun a rare show of muscle flexing, publicly advertising a shopping spree for new weapons and openly discussing their security concerns." Iraq-Senate. Senate Democrats move to limit the US mission in Iraq – "Determined to challenge President Bush, Senate Democrats are drafting legislation to limit the mission of US troops in Iraq, effectively revoking the broad authority Congress granted in 2002,"Democrats Seek to Repeal 2002 War Authorization – "House Democrats have pulled back from efforts to link additional funding for the war to strict troop-readiness standards after the proposal came under withering fire from Republicans and from their party's own moderates." Senate Democrats Keep Pressure on Bush With Plan to Limit Iraq Mission to Counterterrorism– "Senior Senate Democrats, stepping up their confrontation with President Bush over Iraq policy, are preparing legislation that would limit the role of United States troops there to counterterrorism efforts and prohibit them from interceding in sectarian violence." Skip to next paragraph East Africa. U.S. Used Bases in Ethiopia to Hunt Al Qaeda in Africa– "The American military quietly waged a campaign from Ethiopia last month to capture or kill top leaders of Al Qaeda in the Horn of Africa, including the use of an airstrip in eastern Ethiopia to mount airstrikes against Islamic militants in neighboring Somalia." New Orleans.In New Orleans, Progress at Last in the Lower Ninth Ward – "The first new houses built in the Lower Ninth Ward since Hurricane Katrina were turned over to their owners on Thursday, creating a small island of hope in a sea of ruin." Immigration. U.S. charges immigrants, janitor firm – "In a sweep across 17 states and the District of Columbia, immigration officials descended on popular eateries like Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood, arrested almost 200 illegal immigrants working for a janitorial company and filed criminal charges against its top three officials."
Iraq-the home front. Long Iraq Tours Can Make Home a Trying Front– "… chaos and loneliness of wartime deployments are one of the toughest, least discussed byproducts of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and loved ones have endured long, sometimes repeated separations that test the fragility of their relationships in unforeseen ways."

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Gramolere 2010
Product Description
A big structure and character are the features of the Barolo from Monforte. The wine from Gramolere hill is characterized by delicate notes of herbs that melt into the typical complex scents of leather and liquorice.
Wine Advocate
With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, the 2010 Barolo Gramolere comes from a vineyard located between Bussia and Monforte at 400 meters above sea level. This high altitude site has sandy soils and a huge presence of wild mint that grows freely between the vineyard rows. As the wine evolves in the glass, you can just make out that minty signature. Of this estate's various wines, this the boldest and most structured of the newly released wines. The tannin is soft and almost crunchy, underlining the singular tannic identity of this wine. The wine will appeal to Barolo traditionalists who like a little extra bite in their Nebbiolo.
Score: 95, Monica Larner, July 2013Wine Enthusiast
Scents of red berry, violet, iris, baking spices and leather emerge from the glass. The intense, creamy palate exhibits crushed black cherry and red raspberry accented by white pepper, cinnamon, thyme and mint. It's impeccably balanced with vibrant acidity and velvety tannins. Drink after 2018.

The BeginSession header element is part of a SOAP request sent to an Analysis Services instance, and explicitly starts a new session on the instance. The SOAP header returned by the SOAP response contains a Session element that identifies the new session. This new session identifier be stored and sent in subsequent SOAP requests using the Session header element.
If the BeginSession header element is not sent, a session is not explicitly started. If a session is not explicitly started, transactions on that session cannot be managed. In other words, you cannot use the following XML for Analysis (XMLA) commands: BeginTransaction, CommitTransaction, and RollbackTransaction. All XMLA methods and commands executed on an implicitly started session are considered to be atomic transactions.
