Michael Douglas' Cancer Battle

Michael Douglas' Cancer Battle
March 18, 2011

Actor Michael Douglas’ health continues to improve as his stage four throat cancer is in remission.  His representative Allen Burry said to RadarOnline.com: "He's doing fine, his health continues to improve and I can see the difference."

Douglas initially had a hard time forgiving doctors for missing the tumor:  He said: "I understand it's a very difficult cancer tumor to find. It was under the tongue and it's unusual, but I'm still doing my homework on it. I would say I have not forgiven... stage two would have been nicer than stage four."

WebMD went as far as to answer some questions about throat cancer following Douglas’ announcement of the disease back in September 2010.  Have you been touched by a loved one battling cancer?

Got Your Radiation Pills Yet ? : There running Out ?

Got Your Radiation Pills Yet?
March 15, 2011

VIA EPA
People are making a mad dash for iodine pills. The U.S. west coast is facing  concerns about a radioactive cloud From Japan ,experts are disagree about the risk.  Sales of these Iodine Pills are up in many areas of the world.  Considering the urgent need for these tablets right now, people need to be very careful of overdosing.
Check with your doctor before taking pills if you have some health concerns like asthma or if you are pregnant or nursing.  Potassium Iodine, or KI, can cause side effects like gastrointestinal distress (usually in children) and rashes.  The FDA guidelines say that KI is most effective if taken anywhere between three and four hours following exposure and should be only used to prevent a thyroid from uptaking radioactive iodine; it’s not a general radioprotective agent.  Are you worried about radiation exposure?

Charlie Sheen - Winning

March 13, 2011

On the Red Carpet and others have posted that Charlie Sheen’s tour sold out in 18 minutes.

Just 18 minutes people!

That has to be some sort of record.  Now this is just my humble observation, but his career doesn’t seem to be suffering any since his big fall.  How many people do you know that can admit to doing drugs, lose their job and still sell out on a tour?  Some claim he’s bi-polar and apparently that’s entertainment.

Whether he is or isn’t, it doesn’t seem to really matter to him.  All that seems to matter is that he’s #winning.  Do you think so?

Ed Mueller - Making of 3D Street Art



Sunday, March 13, 2011

From the Words of Edgar Mueller via http://www.metanamorph.com/street%20painting%20introduction.html#introduction

"The Master of street painting uses the street as a canvas. If one looks of the right point of view, its three-dimensional painting becomes the perfect illusion. "It gets thrilling when the observer runs into the picture." Edgar about the real intention of his work. He offers his audience a scenery, which challenges to proceed. The spectator turns into the protagonist and creative element of the scene offered him."
Would you walk around ,too ?
