As I was waiting in my car before the 15k run this weekend I turned on KERA (Public Radio) and was listening to The People’s Pharmacy program. The guest for this week’s show was Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, a neuroscientist and clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. After the recurrence of his brain cancer he looked for evidence on ways to strengthen the immune system and prevent cancer. His research led to the writing of the book Anti-Cancer: A New Way of Life.
In the interview he talked about a variety of ways to help prevent cancer and reduce the chances of a recurrence.
Some of the things he talked about were:
Why the traditional Western diet creates the conditions for disease and how to develop a science-based anticancer diet
How and why sugar and stress feed cancer—and ways to achieve life balance and good nutrition to combat it
Why the effects of helplessness and unhealed wounds affect our ability to restore health
How to reap the benefits of exercise, yoga, and meditation
How to minimize environmental toxins
How to find the right blend of traditional and alternative health care
I have already ordered this book because as a person who was directly affected by cancer I need to change any unhealthy habits I have and work toward an Anti-Cancer lifestyle.

The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture – the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves – describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.

I have read differing views on which permalink structure is best for SEO. I would like to know what you think and why? Please vote now and comment if necessary. Thanks
If you perform a variety of tasks at your work what job title do you feel you deserve? Is it the one you were hired for or a combination? Do you think that your pay depends on your job title and therefore you need to be extra careful in selecting one or do you not care about titles at all?
This is the dilemma I had at my work recently. I was hired as a Web Designer but my role in the company has greatly expanded to coding, some IT work, managing outside contractors, managing our Ad server. I did a little research and decided that Web Producer correctly fits my job responsibilities. My reasoning behind the change in title is that I don’t want to limit myself in my title since a first impressions do count to a certain degree.
Have you experienced something similar? I would love to hear your story.
An absolutely magical short by Guilherme Marcondes of Brazil, based on a William Blake poem (see below). Tyger blends puppetry, illustration, photography and CGI. Dreamy, mesmerizing, brilliant.
THE TYGER (from Songs Of Experience)
By William Blake
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
