Are you thinking about new things for spring? I have to say that though there might be troubles on Wall Street and in the housing market it's amazing what deals you can find lately. Alison Kelley Designs produces gorgeous designer pieces for prices you'd never be able to find at the big name stores.
This Blackslip Shell Tear Drop Necklace pairs organic with silver in a soft and elegant way that is classic yet strikingly modern. Her Turquoise Jasper Ladder Necklace is full of contradictions: square and round, the warmth of smoky quartz and the coolness of silver--I love it!
Her earrings are lovely, her bracelets too are great--there's even a beaded bookmark with a butterfly that is quite pretty but my favorites really are her necklaces. I just got a new blouse last weekend that would go just perfectly with that tear drop necklace . . .
If you'd like to keep on top of Alison's latest designs and news she has a free newsletter you can sign up for to keep in touch.
Today's winner will receive a pair of Alison Kelley's beautiful Silk and Coral Earrings you see pictured at the left--that'll light up your wardrobe! To take a shot at them follow the directions below.

Dear Lego
Next year marks the 35th anniversary of the Castle theme. It all started with the Yellow castle back in 1978.
Can we please see a reprisal or a reference to the classic yellow castle set in next years releases. [I don't have the actual yellow castle set .. and I'm guessing alot of us don't.. but most of us want it ]
But I think it would be a fitting tribute for Lego if they release a set or even a collectible minifigure in the classic designs or colours from the original figures released in set 375-2.
Next year also marks the first year in 35years that there has been no release of an official Castle set in the Castle line [1982 and1999 don't count because it depends which country you live in and the release dates.]
LOTR also doesn't count.
2012 brought us the Joust and a reprisal of the Falcon shield, I'm hoping that Lego suprises us with a few unexpected castle sets next year.
Heres hoping

We've seen plenty of impressive video footage captured by the Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone and this time we see it used to make a music video.
Windows Phone Central reader Soundtweaker shared this video when commenting on the Fan Video on the Lumia 920 we posted earlier. Soundtweaker not only used the Lumia 920 to shoot the video but those magnetic lens attachments were used for the fish-eyed portions of the video.
Granted the movie out takes from Frogs wasn't shot with the Lumia 920 but the portions shot came out great. The wide angle lens attactment preformed well and Illogistical Resource Department's "The Attack of the Frogs" is a nice example of what the Nokia Lumia 920 is capable of.

Our local market recently had raspberries on sale -- 77 cents per half pint. I bought 8.
Since tangy fresh raspberries are highly irresistible (and perishable), Jeff and I have eaten a lot of berries over the last few days in cantaloupe boats, smoothies, berry parfaits, salads, scones, and today's raspberry sour cream cake.
This may just be the perfect summertime cake. It's delightfully quick and easy to make, and it's versatile. I know. I loved the raspberry sour cream cake so much that I made a blueberry buttermilk one too. Most of all, it's delicious. Underneath the crunchy sugar-dusted top is a pillowy soft interior punctuated by bursts of juicy, tart raspberries. This cake needs no adornment, but a dollop of creme fraiche doesn't hurt.
Raspberry Sour Cream Cake
Serves 8
Print recipe only here.
Note: This recipe is adapted from an original raspberry buttermilk cake at Gourmet. I have made this cake both with sour cream and buttermilk. When I made it with buttermilk, I used 1 egg; with sour cream, I used 2 eggs.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar, plus 3 tablespoons, divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup fresh raspberries
2.Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Beat butter and 2/3 cup sugar with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs and beat well. Add sour cream and beat well.
4. At low speed, mix in flour mixture in 3 batches, until just combined. Spoon batter into cake pan, smoothing top. Scatter raspberries evenly over top and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar.

I'm a pretty adventurous eater, I'm relatively easy to please (ahem, pasta anyone?) and I love to eat so it was tough coming up with a list of things I don't like. Most things on this list I'd be able to get down in a pinch--say if I was being threatened with a gun or a dirty diaper--I'd just rather not eat at all rather than have to eat these tidbits.
1. Eggplant. Though I'd try eggplant if it looked appetizing enough (is it possible?) My only memory of it is when my mom attempted eggplant parmesan when I was a child and even she admitted it was a dismal failure (you know it's bad when the cook walks away). I've never had the guts to try fixing it though I suppose it's time to get past the memories and give it a whirl.
2. Three Musketeers Bars. YUCK! For being something as wonderful as chocolate they really messed this one up. I can't remember the last time I ate one of these things and I could go the rest of mortality without a bite. Oh and I'm going to stick Cadburry Eggs in here too—the kind that simulate a raw egg? I will not eat them Sam I Am.
3. Canned vegetables. In any variety. Period. My grandparents eat them but I was raised on frozen or fresh veggies and canned vegetables are scary to me. So what do I do? I go and marry a Juice-Slurping Crazy. And that includes those cuter-than-ever baby ears of corn you see at the salad bar. They're cute but don't let that fool you they taste like soggy cardboard dipped in vinegar. The only exception to my fear would be tomatoes, artichoke hearts, legumes or olives.
4. Chili peppers. I can tolerate mild chilies but anything past the weakest jalepeno sends me into waves of heat stroke. I'm a total whimp when it comes to hot food and even when the waitress assures me it's mild I have my doubts as to it's palatability. Andrew, on the other hand, after his years among the Tejanos, loves it hot and spicy and we have to have dual bottles of salsa around here--one mild for me, a one hot for him.
5. Polenta. Just tastes bland and mushy to me, I think it's more about the texture than the taste. Anyone out there have a killer polenta recipe guaranteed to turn me from the Dark Side?
6. Captain Crunch. One of Andrew's favorites. Me? Not so much. Not even with Crunch Berries, though that does improve things a bit. But honestly, worst cereal ever? Kashi Go-Lean at Costco. I never throw out good food but one bite and that box was in the dumpster.
7. Fresh figs. I have a hard time with the texture and the grittiness. Plus, my sister in law (the biology teacher) once told me that each fig has the carcass of a bug inside leftover from its pollination. I've never looked at figs quite the same since though I can eat dried ones alright.
8. Persimmons. They look so pretty but taste so. . . so . . . bleh. Only had one once though, maybe it was a bad batch. Do persimmons have good batches?
9. Bananas. Don't like them, never have, though our shaky relationship has soured even further with age (mine and theirs). I'll eat banana bread and banana splits (put enough sugar in something and it's palatable) but not fresh bananas a la carte. Oh, but I will slurp down a bottle of baby food bananas straight from the jar if given the chance--those are tast-y! When Andrew clerked for Judge Souter he witnessed how the judge ate bananas only when they were so ripe they'd blackened and liquefied. Then he'd stick a straw inside the peel and slurp out the guts. Like a spider with its prey. YUCK! Talk about your Fear Factor.
10. Raw tomatoes. By themselves that is. I'll eat them on hamburgers and tacos and love them but to bite into a slice of raw tomato is decidedly unpleasant. One time I was visiting my grandmother in southern Idaho and she'd picked up these giant luscious-looking beef steak tomatoes. They were so beautiful I thought, "Surely something so pretty tastes good" and I gave it another go. Nope, they still tasted yucky, what a disappointment.
11. Sushi. You'd think it's the raw aspect that upsets me so--and don't get me wrong it truly is hideously terrifying to me--but it's the nori, or seaweed, that takes the cake. Somehow a whole nation of people have grown to love it so you'd think it couldn't be that bad but then the same thing could be said of Dame Edna and I can't see what the appeal is there either.
12. Grape-flavored ANYTHING. Real grapes—yum—fake grape flavoring sends me into dry heaves. Goes back to a fluoride treatment I had as a kid (remember when they filled trays with gooky gummy stuff and then let it sit on your teeth while you gagged for fifteen minutes?) I ordered mine in grape, got sick to my stomach and it's Goodbye to Grape Nehis ever since. I'm getting the willies just thinking about it.
13. Anything that is served alive, wriggling, or with its head still attached. This shouldn't really count as an item because I'm sure there are plenty of things in the world that I'd hate but that I just haven't tried (hello haggis, lutefisk, tripe, chitterlings, head cheese, blood pudding . . . ). The 12 previous items are all things I've sampled but I don't know that I've ever eaten anything that falls into this category though I'm adding it nonetheless. I like most every vegetable and fruit, carb and sugar but with meats I'm much more jittery. After hearing the tales my brothers brought back from living in Asia I know I'd fake a seafood allergy before I could eat a raw octopus (he discovered too late that one doesn't eat the ink sack) or minnows swimming in soy sauce. And if I had to I'd fake a heart attack.
Have you entered this month's Write-Away Contest? Deadline is July 18th and the theme is Adventure.

Nigel Adkins hailed Saints' draw at Stoke as "a fantastic point."
The boss was delighted with a 3-3 draw at the Britannia Stadium despite seeing his side lose a 3-1 lead against ten men.
He said: "It's a fantastic point away from home.
"You look at Stoke and the Britannia Stadium and they had only conceded three goals at home this season and we've scored three and could have scored more.
"It's always a difficult place to come to, our supporters were great and first half it was only us you could hear because our game management was spot on.
"We came away from home and changed a few of the players around because we knew we'd have to deal with an aerial bombardment that would probably come and the players have been top drawer. We scored some really good goals."

Some of these were new to me and probably would be nice. On the one hand, people are fascinated with 'bells and whistles' but the eternal problem remains that most people really don't have any design skills nor the time (or even interest) to learn.

Here's a look at the social marketing basics and how to avoid some very common mistakes.
William Weise's curator insight, October 23, 2014 2:19 PM
I think it is very true that many businesses don't do enough focus on the quality of their followers, but rather on the quality. They judge themselves by the number of their followers, but they don't take into account whether their followers are actually paying attention to their posts. It is important to keep posting content regularly that engages the audience. If you don't keep making interesting posts, you are bound to eventually lose your audience. It is a common mistake that marketers make that once they have followers, they have customers which is not true. It is their responsibility to make the followers their customers. I believe it's also wise to limit a company to 3 or 4 platforms and too just use the ones that are highly relevant instead of being all over the lower tier ones. Your brand on social media needs to have a personality. Personalities are what make people unique and they are, also what can make a business unique.

by guest poster and author Michelle Gagnon
While I'm recovering from the weekend I have a wonderful post from Michelle Gagnon, author of The Tunnels and the upcoming thriller Boneyard. For all of you wondering where this blogging thing might be taking you, where to go with your writing or how to get to the next step of getting your manuscript published this is the post for you.
Ms. Gagnon has graciously offered to respond to any questions you might leave in the comments before Friday and a random commentator will receive a copy of The Tunnels. Or if that's not rich enough for your blood go to MichelleGagnon.com and click on "win" for a chance to win a Kindle, ipod and other prizes.
Make her feel welcome!
A few years ago, when I had just begun my search for a literary agent, I attended one of Michael Chabon's readings. During the Q & A session afterward, I asked how he had gone about getting published. He responded, "Gee, it was really easy. My grad school professor passed my manuscript along to an agent, there was a bidding war, then a year later it was on the shelves."
And at that moment right there, I experienced my first murderous impulse. Michael is a very nice man and an amazing writer, but that's the publishing equivalent of winning the lottery. And I found out the hard way that such experiences are very rare. So when Michelle and I chatted about my guest post, she recommended I write about some of the lessons I've learned while navigating the frequently choppy seas of the publishing world. I'll detail the reality of what most of us experience, from start to finish. And just so that doesn't become too depressing, I'll follow up with inside tips and tricks on surviving relatively unscathed…
The Reality:
1. Rejection, and a lot of it. My first novel (which is now forever relegated to a storage box, never to see the light of day again) was rejected by over fifty agents. That's right, fifty. It was even turned down by some fly by night operations that hung out a shingle and hoped for the best. (Although once I re-read that manuscript, I understood why. More on that later.) You need a thick skin to survive that level of rejection. Fortunately during my career as a modern dancer I'd already developed a carapace that nothing could penetrate. (Once during an audition, choreographer Paul Taylor told me that in tights my legs looked like sausages. No matter what an agent said about my manuscript, nothing could rival that.)
2. The Marginal Advance. There's a reason that when someone gets a six- or seven-figure deal for their first novel, it makes the industry newspapers. It doesn't happen all that often. On average, the money paid up front for a first novel ranges from $1000 to $25,000 (and I suspect the median amount is around $10,000). The vast majority of writers keep their day job through at least their first few books. In fact, it's recommended that you pour as much of that advance as you can afford back into marketing the book. Which leads to the next sad truth…
3. Out of Pocket, or, "What do you mean, I'm not getting a book tour?" A few years ago comedian Will Farrell gave the commencement address at Harvard. In my favorite part of the speech he says:
You're about to enter into a world filled with hypocrisy and doublespeak, a world in which your limo to the airport is often a half-hour late. In addition to not even being a limo at all; often times it's a Lincoln Towncar.Whenever I attend an event where the (generally bestselling) author spends most of the night complaining about the fact that their publisher has put them on a ten city tour with bookstore stops, radio and television shows, a driver, and (I suspect), a nice hotel room, I'm reminded of that speech. A publicist recently told me she's even had authors cancel such tours at the last minute because they changed their mind about going. Now, I understand how hard traveling can be, and the difficulties of being separated from your family and thrown off your routine. But what I would give to have all of that handled by my publisher!
Most writers organize their own touring schedule (local, regional, or national, depending on what they can afford). They contact the bookstore to set up the event, pay the travel expenses, and promote it…and after all that, sometimes only end up selling a few books. Last summer I flew to San Diego for an event, rented a car, spent $150 on the sketchiest hotel room I've ever stayed in (a Days Inn conveniently located right behind a strip club). And three people showed up. I loved the bookstore and all the wonderful booksellers I met (who outnumbered the crowd), and I tried to maximize my time by visiting every other bookstore in San Diego to sign copies of my book. Still, it was a bit depressing.
So, the good news?
Despite all of this complaining, I can walk into a bookstore and see my books on the shelves, and after years of struggling to get published, nothing compares to that. In the end, I won the lottery—but the truth is that I genuinely believe everyone could if they did this:
1. Finish the book. I regularly attend writing conferences, and can't even count how many times someone has said to me, "I've been working on the first few chapters of my manuscript for a few years now…" Yes, I know it's incredibly difficult to finish a book, but think of it this way: if you write just a page a day, at the end of a year you'll have a book.
Along those lines here's the best advice I can offer: don't look back. I don't edit a single page until the entire story has been written, I just do a quick check for glaring typos at the end of every day. Then I move on. Don't get bogged down editing the first few chapters ad infinitum. Save the edits for later, when you have a finished product to go over. I know that my rough draft will be just that: rough. But I resolve that with drafts 2-5 once the bones of the story are in place.
2. Once you've finished the book, put in away. Don't look at it for at least a month (I also don't recommend showing it to anyone else, I usually save that fresh pair of eyes for the second draft). When you dig it out and dust it off, you'll see things that you missed the first time around. It makes the entire editing process much, much easier. Remember that first manuscript I mentioned, the one rejected by fifty agents? I sent it out the day after writing "The End." Huge mistake, and when the rejections started pouring in I looked at it again and cringed; but by then it was too late.
3. Get a literary agent. There are publishers that accept unsolicited manuscripts, but it's relatively rare. Agents are viewed as the first guards at the gate: if a manuscript is represented, in the eyes of editors it's already been vetted. So make a list of agents who represent the kind of writing you do (that part is critical: if they specialize in Young Adult novels, don't send them your erotic horror masterpiece. Doesn't matter how good it is, chances are they won't be interested). Start with a list of five agents and send them a carefully honed query letter. If they all turn it down, go for the next five. But do not petition everyone at once, like I did.
4. Finally, when you have your agent, they've sold your book to a publisher, and you have your publication date, open a bottle of champagne and celebrate!
Then sit down the next morning and start working on your marketing plan. There are so many wonderful resources out there that can help, start sniffing them out. Figure out how much of your advance you can commit to marketing, and consider partnering with another writer to share the burden of tour planning and expenses. Keep your publisher posted on everything you're doing, and ask if they might be willing to help in some way. Showing that you're a motivated partner in the process can go a long way toward getting the sales team excited about your book.
See? Easy. You'll have that limo picking you up at the airport in no time.
Questions? Comments? Fire away, I would love to respond to them all . . . I'll draw names from that pool, and the winner will receive a signed copy of my first book THE TUNNELS.
And if you don't win, go to MichelleGagnon.com, click on "win," and I'll toss your name in the hat for an Amazon Kindle, iPod Shuffle, digital picture frame, Starbucks gift certificates, and other fabulous prizes.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of severe mental deterioration (dementia) in the elderly. It has been estimated that 30% to 50% of people over 85 years old suffer from this condition. Its cause is not known. However, microscopic examination of the brains of people who have died of Alzheimer's shows loss of cells in the thinking part of the brain, particularly cells that release a chemical called acetylcholine.
Alzheimer's begins with subtle symptoms, such as loss of memory for names and recent events. It progresses from difficulty learning new information to a few eccentric behaviors to depression, loss of spontaneity, and anxiety. Over the course of the disease, the person gradually loses the ability to carry out the activities of everyday life. Disorientation, asking questions repeatedly, and an inability to recognize friends are characteristics of moderately severe Alzheimer's. Eventually, virtually all mental functions fail.
Similar symptoms may be caused by conditions other than Alzheimer's disease, such as multiple small strokes (called multi-infarct or vascular dementia), severe alcoholism, and certain more rare causes. It is very important to begin with an examination to discover what is causing the symptoms of mental decline. Various easily treatable conditions, such as depression, can mimic the symptoms of dementia.
Four drugs have shown at least modest benefit for Alzheimer's disease or non-Alzheimer's dementia: Reminyl, Exelon, Aricept, and Cognex. These medications usually produce a modest improvement in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease by increasing the duration of action of acetylcholine. However, they can cause sometimes severe side effects due to the exaggeration of acetylcholine's action in other parts of the body.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
There are two natural treatments for Alzheimer's disease with significant scientific evidence behind them: ginkgo and phosphatidylserine . Huperzine A and vinpocetine , while more like drugs than natural remedies, may also improve mental function in people with dementia. Acetyl-L-carnitine was once considered a promising option for this condition as well, but current evidence suggests that it does not work.
The most well-established herbal treatment for Alzheimer's disease is the herb Ginkgo biloba . Numerous high quality double-blind, placebo-controlled studies indicate that ginkgo is effective for treating various forms of dementia. 1-4,76,79,80,83,91 A 1997 US trial enrolled more than 300 participants with Alzheimer's disease or non-Alzheimer's dementia. 80 Participants were given either 40 mg of Ginkgo biloba extract or placebo 3 times daily for a period of 52 weeks. The results showed significant but not entirely consistent improvements in the treated group.
Another study published in 2007 followed 400 people for 22 weeks, and used twice the dose of ginkgo employed in the study just described. 79 The results of this trial indicated that ginkgo was significantly superior to placebo. The areas in which ginkgo showed the most marked superiority as compared to placebo included, "apathy/indifference, anxiety, irritability/lability, depression/dysphoria and sleep/nighttime behavior."
On the other hand, one fairly large study of ginkgo extract drew headlines for concluding that ginkgo is ineffective. 5 This 24-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 214 participants with either mild to moderate dementia or ordinary age-associated memory loss found no effect with ginkgo extract at a dose of 240 mg or 160 mg daily. However, this study has been sharply criticized for a number of serious flaws in its design. 6 In another community-based study among 176 elderly subjects with early-stage dementia, researchers found no beneficial effect for 120 mg of ginko extract given daily for 6 months. 86
A 2011 systematic review of 9 placebo-controlled, randomized trials did find more promising evidence for ginkgo. 91 The trials, which involved 2,372 people with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia, ranged from 12-52 weeks. Those in the ginkgo group did have improvements in their cognition scores. A subgroup of people with Alzheimer's disease also showed improvements in their activities of daily living.
The ability of ginkgo to prevent or delay a decline in cognitive function is less clear. In a placebo-controlled trial of 118 cognitively intact adults 85 years or older, ginkgo extract seemed to effectively slow the decline in memory function over 42 months. The researchers also reported a higher incidence of stroke in the group that took ginkgo, a finding that requires more investigation. 82
In a 2009 review of 36 randomized trials involving 4,423 patients with declining mental function (including dementia), researchers concluded ginkgo appears safe. However, they also found inconsistent evidence regarding whether it works. 89
In a secondary analysis of a randomized trial with 828 patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, the addition of gingko to cholinesterase inhibitors produced little cognitive benefit and did not improve functional abilities. 93
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Ginkgo article.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is one of the many substances involved in the structure and maintenance of cell membranes. Double-blind studies involving a total of more than 1,000 people suggest that phosphatidylserine is an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
The largest of these studies followed 494 elderly subjects in northeastern Italy over a course of 6 months. 7 All suffered from moderate to severe mental decline, as measured by standard tests. Treatment consisted of 300 mg daily of either PS or placebo. The group that took PS did significantly better in both behavior and mental function than the placebo group. Symptoms of depression also improved.
These results agree with those of numerous smaller double-blind studies involving a total of more than 500 people with Alzheimer's and other types of age-related dementia. 8-15
However, the form of phosphatidylserine available as a supplement has altered since the studies described above were performed, and the currently available form may not be equivalent. For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Phosphatidylserine article.
Huperzine A
Huperzine A is a chemical derived from a particular type of club moss ( Huperzia serrata ). Like caffeine and cocaine, huperzine A is a medicinally active, plant-derived chemical that belongs to the class known as alkaloids. This substance is really more a drug than an herb, but it is sold over-the-counter as a dietary supplement for memory loss and mental impairment.
According to 3 Chinese double-blind trials enrolling a total of more than 450 people, use of huperzine A can significantly improve symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. 32-34 However, one double-blind trial failed to find evidence of benefit, but it was a relatively small study. 35 In a review of 6 randomized controlled trials, researchers concluded that, on balance, huperzine A is probably of some benefit in Alzheimer's disease, but the variable quality of these studies weakens this conclusion. 84
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Huperzine A article.
Vinpocetine is a chemical derived from vincamine, a constituent found in the leaves of common periwinkle ( Vinca minor ) as well as the seeds of various African plants. It is used as a treatment for memory loss and mental impairment.
Developed in Hungary more than 20 years ago, vinpocetine is sold in Europe as a drug under the name Cavinton. In the US, it is available as a so-called dietary supplement, although the substance probably does not fit that category by any rational definition. Vinpocetine does not exist to any significant extent in nature. Producing it requires significant chemical work performed in the laboratory.
Several double-blind studies have evaluated vinpocetine for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related conditions. 23,43-49 Unfortunately, most of these suffered from significant flaws in design and reporting. A review of the literature found three studies of acceptable quality, enrolling a total of 583 people. 23 Perhaps the best of these was a 16-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 203 people with mild to moderate dementia which found significant benefit in the treated group. 43 However, even this trial suffered from several technical limitations, and the authors of the review concluded that vinpocetine cannot yet be regarded as a proven treatment. Currently, several better quality trials are underway. 23
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Vinpocetine article.
Carnitine is a vitamin-like substance that is often used for angina, congestive heart failure, and other heart conditions. A special form of carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine, has been extensively tested for the treatment of dementia: double- or single-blind studies involving a total of more than 1,400 people have been reported. 53-64,68
However, while early studies found evidence of modest benefit, two large and well-designed studies failed to find acetyl-L-carnitine effective at all. The first of these was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled 431 participants for 1 year. 65 Overall, acetyl-L-carnitine proved no better than placebo. However, because a close look at the data indicated that the supplement might help people who develop Alzheimer's disease at an unusually young age, researchers performed a follow-up trial. This 1-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated acetyl-L-carnitine in 229 patients with early-onset Alzheimer's. 64 Unfortunately, no benefits were seen here either.
One review of literature interpreted the cumulative results to mean that acetyl-L-carnitine may be mildly helpful for mild Alzheimer's disease. 22 However, another review concluded that if acetyl-L-carnitine does offer benefits for any form of Alzheimer's disease, they are too minor to make much of a practical difference. 21
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Carnitine article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Two small double-blind studies performed by a single research group found evidence that the herbs sage20 and lemon balm19 can improve cognitive function in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
One study found that vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol) may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, but another did not. 66,72 A very large study failed to find that use of vitamin E reduced risk of general mental decline (whether caused by Alzheimer's or not) in women over 65. 75
Vitamins B6 , B12 , and folate have also been studied. Researchers found that daily intake of these vitamins did not improve cognitive ability in older men with high blood pressure, nor did it reduce the risk of dementia. 90
Very preliminary evidence suggests that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) might be helpful for slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease. 67
Lavender oil used purely as aromatherapy (treatment involving inhaling essential oils) has been advocated for reducing agitation in people with dementia 52 ; however, people with dementia tend to lose their sense of smell, making this approach seem somewhat unlikely to work. 69 Topical use of essential oil of the herb lemon balm has also shown promise for reducing agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease 51 ; the researchers who tested it considered their method aromatherapy because the fragrance wafts up from the skin, but essential oils are also absorbed through the skin and this mechanism of action seems more plausible. Oral use of lemon balm extract has also shown promise. 70
As we explained at the beginning of this article, drugs used for Alzheimer's disease affect levels of acetylcholine in the body. The body makes acetylcholine out of the nutrient choline. On this basis, supplements containing choline or the related substance phosphatidylcholine have been proposed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but the results of studies have not been positive. 24-28 One special form of choline, however, has shown more promise. In a 6-month, double-blind study of 261 people with Alzheimer's disease, use of choline alfoscerate at a dose of 400 mg 3 times daily significantly improved cognitive function as compared to placebo. 18
Colistrinin, a substance derived from colostrum , has shown some promise for treatment of Alzheimer's. 71
Bee pollen , carnosine , citrulline , DMAE , 42,50inositol , magnesium , pregnenolone , vitamin B 1 , and zinc have also been suggested as treatments for Alzheimer's disease. However, as yet there is no reliable scientific evidence to support their use. Elevated blood levels of the substance homocysteine have been suggested as a contributor to Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia. However, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study failed to find that homocysteine-lowering treatment using B-vitamins was helpful for multi-infarct dementia. 73 Similarly, two studies failed to find benefits in people with Alzheimer's disease. 81,88 In another study, a mixture of B-vitamins did not improve quality of life in people with mild cognitive impairment of various causes. 78 Early reports suggested that declining levels of the hormone DHEA cause impaired mental function in the elderly. On this basis, DHEA has been promoted as a cognition-enhancing supplement. However, the one double-blind study that tested DHEA for Alzheimer's disease found little to no benefit. 16,17
Studies of fish oil have failed to find it helpful for Alzheimer's disease, whether for delaying its onset, slowing its progression, or improving its symptoms. 74,77,87
In a sizable Danish trial, researchers investigated the effects of melatonin and light therapy (bright light exposure during daylight hours) on mood, sleep, and cognitive decline in elderly patients, most of whom suffered from dementia. 85 They found that melatonin 2.5 mg, given nightly for an average of 15 months, slightly improved quality of sleep, but it worsened mood. Melatonin apparently had no significant effect on cognition. On the other hand, light therapy alone slightly decreased cognitive and functional decline and improved mood. Combining melatonin with light therapy improved mood and quality of sleep. In a systematic review of 5 randomized trials including 323 people with dementia, researchers failed to find evidence that melatonin is helpful in enhancing memory and other cognitive abilities. 92 In 2 of the trials, however, melatonin was associated with short-term improvement in mood and behavior.

If you're looking for a neat Bluetooth headset for your Windows Phone, the Nokia Luna Headset should be on your short list. Especially seeing that the Microsoft Store is offering the Luna for $19.99 (regularly $59.99).
The Luna features a unique cradle that doubles as a charging base and portable charger. When docked, the Luna's maximum standby time jumps from 35 hours to 60 days. Additionally, the Luna has NFC support to let you tap to pair the headset with your Windows Phone. Granted your Windows Phone needs to have NFC as well.
Sound quality is great, fit and feel is comfortable and the only downside to the deal may be that the Microsoft currently only has the Luna in green and magenta. We found the Luna to be a solid Bluetooth headset back when we reviewed it and the $20 price tag makes it all the more appealing.
You can find all the details on ordering the Nokia Luna Bluetooth Headset here at the Microsoft Store (hint: use that link on a PC, not your phone).
Thanks, Omkar, for the tip!

- For a Text entry, you can either type directly into the posting box and use the formatting toolbar, or you can use one of the following:
- The icon with the letter T on it allows you to paste something as plain text. Use this if you wish to strip any formatting when you're copying from another site or word processor. Click on the T, paste your text and click Insert. The plain text will then be inserted into the posting box for you to submit.

Learn more about wine basics and increase your wine knowledge from our expert wine blogger, at SpinTheBottleNY. She answers our readers questions about wine this month.
1) How do you know if wine has gone bad in the fridge?
Wine "goes bad" when you don't like the way it tastes! For some wines that will be after a day... some wines can go as long as a week. If wine smells vinegary or mildew, it's definitely gone bad. If wine (red or white) looks brown, it's gone rancid.
2) When I was in Asia, there were a lot of people who put ice in their wine. Is that taboo in the wine community?
Yes, that is normally considered taboo in the wine community. But hey, whatever works!
3) For my birthday, my boyfriend and I had drinks at the Plaza in NYC. He had the Bordeaux-blend in the hotel bar. What is a Bordeaux blend?
A Bordeaux blend is a wine that includes a blend of the grapes you find in red Bordeaux wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (although the last two are much more unusual.)
Have more wine questions? Post your question in the comments section below and it may be answered in an upcoming wine q&a.

Sort of a philosophy question:
When I first learned of multiple return values, I thought it sounded like a great idea, but in most cases where I tried to use them, I found them ultimately awkward and less convenient than simply returning the values I need in a list or cons pair and letting the caller sort them out.
I'm curious if anyone could suggest a kind of pattern than might indicate where multiple return values might be useful.
The few places that I can name off the top of my head where CL functions return multiple values (floor, get-hash), seem to be cases where the work to produce one value essentially produces a second value "for free". Is that a good litmus test? Are there reasons one might return multiple values for another reason? Pure efficiency, maybe?

Not just with wins and Super Bowls and all that.. but in terms of contract.
