Prostate Cancer Information: Put The Odds In Your Favor
Monday, July 7th, 2008Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only.
It is not intended as, nor should it be taken as, medical advice.
Always consult your physician if you have any questions.
Prostate cancer information can help you have a greater chance of
having a happy, healthy life – and it might even save your life.
Know The Odds
One in six men in the US will be diagnosed
with prostate cancer at some time in their lives.
That’s an alarming statistic, but you can reduce the odds
by learning (and doing) a few simple things.
Beat The Odds
Prevention isn’t that difficult – just a few common things.
Exercise – The sedate lifestyle can kill you.
30 minutes to an hour of exercise per day can produce the hormones
and chemicals that keep your prostate healthy.
Eat Healthy – Talk to your doctor about
setting up a diet plan for you. This is no time to fly solo -
get a referral for a dietitian.
Learn the Early Warning Signs of Prostate Cancer
Another way to beat the odds is to know the
prostate cancer early warning signs:
- Needing to urinate more frequently.
- Weaker stream when urinating.
- Difficulty releasing urine.
- Burning sensation when urinating
If you have these symptoms, it doesn’t always mean
that you have prostate cancer.
What it does mean is you need to
contact your doctor immediately to get tests
to find out what is wrong.
What If My Doctor Says That I Have Prostate Cancer?
Believe it or not, there’s still good news to be found here.
Prostate cancer has an extremely high healing percentages – 98 percent.
Some professionals even believe prostate cancer to be 100% curable.
Early diagnosis and prognosis will help determine which
of the many available prostate cancer treatments
are available to you.
Why Hasn’t My Doctor Started Treating My Prostate Cancer?
Your doctor knows that the tumor (or tumors) in your prostate
grow at an extremely slow rate.
His first treatment might only involve waiting
to see how the cancer progresses.
Months or even years could pass before your doctor
moves to treat your prostate cancer more aggressively.
When your doctor chooses to begin treatment,
you’ll have several treatment options, including
a combination of treatments, all of which benefit you.
Now you have enough prostate cancer information
to improve your odds of avoiding or surviving prostate cancer.

Festival of links – May 15th edition
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Hellotxt -
one microblogging site to post them all – has all the usual suspects:
as well as a host of others.
The Daily Plate -
allows you to track your food consumption online.
We help you explore your passions by collecting stories from “all the top” sites on the web. We’ve grouped these collections — “aggregations” — into individual Alltop sites based on topics such as environment, photography, science, Muslim, celebrity gossip, military, fashion, gaming, sports, politics, automobiles, and Macintosh. At each Alltop site, we display the headlines of the latest stories from dozens of sites and blogs.
You can think of an Alltop site as a “digital magazine rack” of the Internet. To be clear, Alltop sites are starting points—they are not destinations per se. The bottom line is that we are trying to enhance your online reading by both displaying stories from the sites that you’re already visiting and helping you discover sites that you didn’t know existed. In other words, our goal is the “cessation of Internet stagnation” by providing “aggregation without aggravation.”
OnlineVerdict.com
a web 2.0 source for mock jurors.
From the site:
Q: How does OnlineVerdict.com work?
A: Lawyers or legal professionals will post to the OnlineVerdict.com website a case summary and verdict questions for participants to answer. Participants who are jury eligible and match the demographics of the selected venue will then be emailed an invitation to review the case. If the participant chooses to review the case summary and completes the case questions, they will receive a check in the mail within one month of participation. The lawyer or legal professional who posts the case will receive tabulated feedback from either 25 or 50 jury qualified respondents. It is that simple.
E.S. Posthumus’ Unleashed – you love it – you just don’t know it yet
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007Just downloaded E.S. Posthumus’ Unearthed
and all I have to say is WOW!
I can’t find a single bad track on the album,
and lots of phenomenal tracks.
From Wikipedia
Many tracks from Unearthed have been featured in various movie trailers and television shows.
It has been used in the trailers for movies such as Unfaithful and Vanity Fair
thanks to its escalating structure, which makes it well-suited for the dramatic montages
of those particular films.Since Unearthed contains tracks that vary greatly in mood and style,
it remains as a popular choice for production companies to utilise in trailers;
although the album has been available for a number of years.However, tracks such as Antissa, Ulaid, Estremoz, and Isfahan have hardly been used,
if at all, in movie trailers or television shows.
