The two words “breast cancer” shake all women to the core – more so than any other disease, even though heart disease takes far more lives than breast cancer.Try your hand at these 24 true/false questions about breast cancer (mostly). The answer key is at the end. No peeking now until you answer all the questions. I’m watching you!1. In 1970, 1 in 20 women were diagnosed with breast cancer; today, 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. T or F?2. According to Dr. John McDougall, it takes 100 days for one breast cancer cell to divide into two cells; about 6 years for one breast cancer cell to divide into 1 million cells, which is only as big as the tip of a pencil and undetectable; and 10 years to multiply into 1 billion cells, the size of an eraser on a pencil.

According to three major studies, hormone replacement therapy (H
If youre like most IT folks, you use the command line to perform all kinds of tasks. However, there is one drawback to working from the command line that is exacerbated by long folder names changing from one folder, or directory, to another using the CD (Change Directory) command. Not only is typing long folder names on the command line a lot of extra work, but one typo and youll find
An inspiration and a proprietary method of dosing bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) started out as a "thought experiment." One California-based author and researcher named T.S. Wiley asked the question, "If hormone replacement was made of real bio-identical hormones and dosed to mimic the ups and downs of the hormone blood levels in a normal menstrual cycle in a 20 year-old woman, would all of the symptoms and disease states of aging decline or even, disappear?" It just might be that it was the rhythm that was always missing from other regimens, she found, to the surprise of many others.While writing a book for women in the life stage of aging, one California-based reseacher and writer asked an important question. T.S. Wiley asked,"If hormone replacement was made of real bio-identical hormones and dosed to mimic the ups and downs of the hormone blood levels in a normal menstrual cycle in a 20 year-old woman, would all of the symptoms and disease states of aging decline o
The Acer TravelMate 6592 is an affordable laptop that should suit anyone looking for a capable, mostly desk-bound, system. Although it's fairly basic, the webcam is a handy extra, while fingerprint recognition is fast becoming a 'must-have' feature for business users.The TravelMate 6592 is a desktop replacement model. The TravelMate 6592 is nominally a 'thin-and-light' laptop, but its relative bulk means it's functionally a desktop replacement. At 2.9kg you're unlikely to want to carry it very far or very often, and if you do make it a travel companion you'll need a pretty capacious bag. It plants a footprint 360mm wide by 275mm deep. At its maximum, the TM 6592 is 37mm thick.This laptop's colour scheme is no great surprise: it has a slate-grey lid section, and black innards with grey highlights that are slightly lifted from the humdrum by a few emerald-green accents.A solid dual-action clasp keeps the lid and keyboard sections together when the laptop is not in use, and build quality
iRobot Roomba 4910 Replacement FiltersI would not recommend buying this is you don't have a roomba. No really I'm serious there is not many other uses. If you do have a roomba you probably need some.I have tried to use it as a breathing bask for my dog. Not a good idea.I would not give it to small children or the senile elderly.It can be used in Halloween costumes or if you need to fill up some small place with a small object.They can be fun to stack and un-stack.Try destroying them if you need something to destroy. No fire though! Smells bad and carelessness creates forest fires.Please don't start a forest fire. I have a dog and she likes the forest. We run and play and if you burn down the forest because you lit the Roomba filter in a forest and created a fire I will be mad at you and if we ever meet I will let my dog bit you.# 3 pack of replacement filters# Prevents dust and dirt from escaping vacuum system# Changing filter every 1 to 2 months recommended# Remove dustbin and slide f
MetaPad 3.51Working with html code everyday, I have grown frustrated with Microsoft's Notepad. It is still so un-functional. Has Microsoft even touched Notepad since 1991?!So, I've had my eyes peeled for a replacement. I've tried a few, but they were either too large or still not what I was looking for. I just downloaded a little program called MetaPad that I think will be my Notepad replacement from now on.It's more functional, it has more settings, and the word wrap works so much better! I'm pleased with it! It's tiny, it's simple, it works, and it's free!If you're looking for a suitable replacement, you might like MetaPad.

I wonder if city councils projected $1 Million dollar stop light camera windfall will include replacement costs & police protection for all of the cameras.
Nikon may be phasing out at least one of its starter digital SLR cameras in the near future, hints from the company and from tipsters reveal. The company has recently pulled a D40x listing from its Japanese online store, indicating that local production of the 10-megapixel camera has stopped; versions in other markets as well [...]
Redundancy insurance can give you a replacement income if you were to find yourself without money coming in if you unlucky enough to be made redundant. With more and more businesses tightening their belts no ones job is safe and while you could receive redundancy money it would not last very long if you had to repay your mortgage, any loans and continue to pay essential outgoings as well. Providing you did not take voluntary redundancy and you have checked other exclusions within a policy you could receive a tax free income each an every month you were out of work with which you could continue to repay your mortgage, loan, credit card and essential outgoings. This would greatly relieve the stress and of course means you would not have to break into any savings or redundancy money in order to be able to keep on top of things. However while redundancy cover can be an essential lifeline it is not suitable for the circumstances of all individuals because there are exclusions which could me
I have a set of noise cancelling headphones at work. The active part does a nice job on the building ventilation and computer fans, and the passive part on my co-worker’s phone conversations. I didn’t like the idea of wasting batteries, though, and the system didn’t seem to like even NiMH rechargeables. So, I decided [...]
It's time has come. Finally! A worthy PDF reader has replaced Adobe Acrobat! I can't rave enough about Foxit PDF Reader. It's light, it's easy, it doesn't track my every online move, and--most importantly-- it doesn't make my computer crash when I start it up (unlike other PDF readers, ahem). For the novice, it is a little complex with its updating features. When I updated it today, it asked me all these questions that I didn't know how to answer! I just went with it, and it did fine. The update (the newer version, Foxit 2.2 for Windows) speeds up the program even more, and I love the "minimize to tray" option when I right-click the titlebar.From the Foxit website:Incredibly small: The download size of Foxit Reader is only 2.1 M which is a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 M size.Breezing-fast: When you run Foxit Reader, it launches instantly without any delay. You are not forced to view an annoying splash window displaying company logo, author names, etc.Annotation tool: Have you ever wis

In another first, after India's historic World Cup win, a team of Indian orthopaedics from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) replaced the kneecap completely along with the tendons and shin bone. This historic feat was performed on a lady Naida Khatoon, who was suffering from a rare cancer of the patella, which is the knee cap.The 21 year old used to get excruciating pains in her right knee and soon her knee started swelling. After many tests, scans, etc. she received the bad news. The cancer was a threat to her mobility as she was unable to fold her knee. But facing against all odds, the orthopaedic surgeons entirely removed her knee cap, along with the shin and the tendons, and replaced with the others donated by a 52 year old lady after her death.Now Naida can walk like any normal person and has zero susceptibility to get the cancer again. The patella cancer is quite rare and is mostly cured by removing the tumour, which has some chances of the cancer to resurface,

Finally, here is the pic of me, my parents and Robbie Knieval. Yay! I look like a total dork, but fuck it. Gah! Part of the reason is because Robbie was kind of rubbing/patting the area on my back where I got my tattoo the day before (unknowingly, of course) and I was trying to act cool so he wouldn't know it was kind of hurting me....LOL I wouldn't want to appear like a total wuss in front of a guy who jumped the Grand Canyon. :)I've been such a bad blogger lately. Remember back when I used to post every day? Oh yeah, those were the days. Then I got a new monkey on my back...my guitar!!! I've been practicing all weekend, sometimes with Kimi. Here's a list of some of the songs I/we have been working on:(1) I Love Rock and Roll and (2) I Hate Myself For Loving You - Joan Jett(3) Girlfriend and (4) Skater Boy - Avril Lavigne (I know Avitable just died of shock....LOL)(5) U + UR Hand - Pink(6) Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus(7) Fell In Love With A Girl and (8) Seven Nation Army and (9
Work has been particularly stressful of late with some conversions we are working on. In the middle of making some changes to a program, we had a power outage. Fortunately, most of the code I had keyed in was relatively recoverable. I think I am somewhat on track. (And let me just say that non-normalized data with field names that are close to each other, but not quite, suck raw microchips. Grrr!)
Just before this, I had an encounter with my boss. I am fairly well known for not being the best person in handling stuff on the physical plane. I had an old briefcase/bag for work. My late dog Morgaine had sort of chewed on it a bit, but it was still serviceable. Anywho, my boss walks over and mentions that he has two old cases that I could use. Apparently, part of my old bag were, for want of a better term, shedding. (Hmm, so that's what those small black bits of fluff were!) He was very gracious about it, but he did mention something about following me around with a vacuum cleaner. T
