Estate sales frequently have large collections of costume jewelry. From faux-pearls and colorful brooches to stackable bracelets, the inexpensive baubles have an undeniable charm. And while some individual pieces may have more value than others, there is one particular type of costume jewelry that has become a collector's item, and often comes with a collector's item price tag.
At first glance, Bakelite jewelry may look like your average plastic trinket. But it's made of one of the earliest plastic resins, and its bright, saturated colors and retro feel have helped it continue its popularity on the vintage market.
Bakelite (pronounced with three syllables, by the way: the middle E is short, not silent) was created by Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland in 1907 with industrial uses in mind. It's nonconductive and heat-resistant, making it ideal for use in electrical insulators and radio and telephone casings. Unlike other plastics, Bakelite cannot be melted down and reused—heat will not change its shape.
But the material was quickly adopted for a variety of purposes: game pieces (dominoes, dice, etc.), electric guitars, gun magazines, flatware handles, napkin rings, and, of course, fashion.
Fun fact: Baekeland's contraption for mass-producing Bakelite was called the Bakelizer. If that doesn't make you want to invent something just to name it after yourself, I don't know what will.
Costume jewelry makers jumped onto the Bakelite bandwagon by the 1930s, recognizing its ability to be polished, colored, marbled, carved, and even laminated together to create multicolored pieces. Designers like Coco Chanel started incorporating Baekeland's product into their work. and the jewelry and accessories were gracing fashion magazines.
Most of the early 19th century uses for Bakelite have fallen by the wayside, the demand for the vintage jewelry continues.
It's important to know different ways to identify Bakelite jewelry, so you don't find yourself unintentionally purchasing lucite or more common plastic pieces. While that jewelry has its own charms, when you're looking for Bakelite and paying for Bakelite, you want to be certain.
Some of the testing methods may need to be reserved for home, away from the questioning eyes of the seller, but others can be employed while you shop.
The basic rule of thumb is: keep your senses about you.
Look First, check for seams. Unlike other plastic jewelry, Bakelite is not poured into molds. Instead, pieces are formed from raw material—the pieces would then be cut, shaped, and polished, which means there will be no visible seam anywhere on the piece.
At home you can use a cotton swap and simichrome polish, a popular metal polish, to check for authenticity. With a clean cloth, rub a small amount of polish onto the jewelry, in an inconspicuous place. If the part of the cloth that touched the jewelry turns yellow, you've got Bakelite. Any other color, and you likely do not.
But remember, Simichrome can alter the color of Bakelite if not cleaned up properly, so be sure to test in an inconspicuous area, and wipe the tested area thoroughly with a clean cloth when the test is completed.
It should also be noted that Bakelite's colors will change over time. A clear bracelet, for example, made over a half century ago, may now take on a brown hue.
SmellBakelite is a resin made of a phenol formaldehyde compound. If you put it to your nose, you won't smell anything. (If this were not the case, I can't imagine it lasting long on the market originally.) But heat the bauble up, and an acrid smell will come through, not unlike paint thinner. While you may not reasonably be able to walk through an estate sale with a cup of hot water, dipping the jewelry into hot water for a few seconds is a good way to quickly release the scent, if one exists, and discern whether a piece is Bakelite or not.
A tactic less likely to be frowned upon by vendors would be to rub your finger against the plastic. The friction should heat it up enough to release the phenol smell.
ListenThe sound of two pieces of Bakelite tapped together is decidedly different—clunkier—than other plastics. It might take some time to recognize the difference, if you don't have pieces to compare. But it's a good, quick test when you're in a heat-of-the-moment decision.
TouchBe sure to consider heft when you're discerning the material. Bakelite is heavier than other plastics. Hold a piece of Bakelite in one hand, and another plastic bauble of a similar size in the other, and there will be a considerable difference.
TasteJust kidding, guys. Don't lick the Bakelite.
Seriously. Don't do it.
Some jewelry designers continue to create new pieces from old Bakelite, so it's important to keep your eyes open for that, too, if vintage is what you're after. Older Bakelite jewelry will show signs of discoloration. Bracelets, for example, will not be the same color on the inside and the outside due to wear. Hardware will more likely be glued into place in newer pieces.
The value of Bakelite jewelry varies between pieces as well as markets. Carved, laminated, and multi-colored jewelry tends to command higher prices than solid pieces, but there's a collector for every type of vintage Bakelite you might find. So keep your eyes, ears, and nose open, and you might just find the piece you're looking for.
And remember: don't lick the Bakelite.

It's January 2013. With the whole year in front of us, I can't help but look back at the year that was 2012. Here's a recap of what I think are some of the most significant happenings for the lighting industry in 2012.

Here is our 19 week update...
I like how this week's email started out, you are almost halfway there!! Are you kidding me?? I have to wait another 20 weeks!! (I assume you all can tell this is trying my patience!! It just seems so long to have to wait to see your baby!! Granted, I know I want Peanut to bake the full time, but I am just so stinkin' excited to see him/her and welcome them into our family!)
- Peanut's sensory development is exploding
- His/Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch.
- They say he/she should be able to hear my voice now, guess I better not sing too loud in the car these days (right sister sarah?) Peanut might realize my horrible voice and start kicking me!
- Peanut weighs 11 oz (more than the 8.5 the email suggested)
- Peanut is as big as a "toasted" 6 inch Subway sandwich -- in which he/she might have wheat bread, turkey, cheese, spinach, carrots, pickles, banana peppers, onions, cucumbers, green pepper, oregano, and black pepper. I mean, he/she is baking in the oven now, so "toasting" is more appropriate I guess. (Now this is the best analogy yet -- something yummy to eat!! However, I seem to be craving that exact sub at this exact moment!)
- Peanut's kidneys continue to make urine
- Peanut's hair on his/her scalp is sprouting
- Peanut's "vernix caseosa" is forming on his/her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid. We would hate for Peanut to come out as a "pickle" huh? Might be a bit alarming!
- Peanut is "bulking up" and packing on the grossly named "brown fat" she'll need to keep warm when she gets evicted from her comfortable uterine home! Has anyone ever heard of "brown fat"???? Hum, why didn't we learn about this in school? Is there such thing as "white fat?"
PS> On a side note, I am feeling MUCH better these days and haven't had a bad night in over 1 full week! YIPEE!! Finally at about 19 weeks, I kick the "morning/PM sickness." My motto -- it is never too late to be done with nausea!!
Allyson and Peanut - yep ONE!! No more (s)'s needed!! 1 mystery solved, 1 to go!!
May God heal the Nations and our LAND!Thy Kingdom Come! Click here to read the latest Newsletter

On March 14, FT Island was featured in the "Idol of the Week" segment of MBC Every1's "Weekly Idol." In this episode of "Weekly Idol," Choi Jong Hoon had an opportunity to explain himself and about the accusation of having the most female contacts among FT Island members.
When Jung Hyung Don asked FT Island, "Whose numbers does Choi Jong Hoon have?" other members named: Kara's Goo Hara, Girls' Generation's Jessica, Davichi's Kang Min Kyung, Miss A's Suzy, among many others. Choi Jong Hoon seemed to be caught off guard by other members' disclosure.
He explained, "In the case of Goo Hara, we were on several shows together. I wanted to get to know her better, so I asked her for her phone number. With Jessica, we use the same hair salon. I asked a staff member there for Jessica's number because I wanted to be friends. It's not because I had something else in mind."
MC Jung Hyung Don and Defconn asked Choi Jong Hoon about what he says in the initial text messages. He answered, "I say, 'Hello, I want to be friends.' But I don't do it anymore, because there has been rumors about me being a player."

"ONLY HUMAN" part two! The inhumanities of Earth put even Superman's trust to the test as he and Lex Luthor begin to see a pattern emerging that points to Mr. Oz and his agents. When Lex confronts Mr. Oz alone, one walks away changed forever.
"Only Human" tells a nice interlude chapter of the ongoing Action Comics saga that seems to be reaching another point of critical mass sooner rather later. Read Full Review
Action packed and great looking art makes this a fun fight comic with a surprise guest appearance at the end. Read Full Review
Superman courageously defeats his foes while Lex Luther has an encounter with Oz that reveals his intentions for all humanity! Read Full Review
There are a lot of theories floating around out there over the real identity of Mr. Oz. I haven't been taking part in them, mainly because, so many of them would be so disappointing if they turn out to be true. Williams drops another clue in this issue as he makes it clear that Mr. Oz is smarter than Luthor and there are so few characters who fit that bill. It looks like all the wild speculation will end next month when it looks like Mr. Oz will reveal himself. Read Full Review
Anyways, this issue told a philosophical story about humanity and civility with a few action beats mixed in. In that way, it should be a solid prelude to the Mr. Oz epic which is about to unfold. Read Full Review
This issue wraps up a short but enjoyable tale of classic rivalries married with suspense and a larger mystery that has been encompassing the DCU since its Rebirth. It is friendly to new readers but I would strongly suggest anyone reading this just pick issue 985 before this one as it does add something to the tale. The book is well-paced and if it was intended to be filler it is definitely one of the most enjoyable fillers in recent memory. Read Full Review
GuillemMarchs artwork reminds me of that of Mark Badger back in the 1980s.Thankfully, more detailed, but that could be a result of current technology. Read Full Review
Two weeks away from the reveal, there is still very little we know about Mr. Oz and who he might be. My personal theory is The Superman from Dan Jurgens Tangent Comics. But thats just a long shot because Im seriously stumped. Read Full Review
This is a solid issue, but suffers just slightly from being more or less a fill in between story arcs. The finale certainly whets the appetite for the upcoming reveal of the Mr. Oz story line in subsequent issues. The strongest aspect continues to be Superman's challenging relationship with Lex Luthor. Read Full Review
What appeared a filler story, may result in a turning point moment for Superman and Mr. Oz. Read Full Review
As a fill-in issue, this was simply "okay." Read Full Review
While this issue isn't bad this is just filler with a $3 price tag. I'm not even sure what to put since there was no substance to this book. If you want classic Lex taking on all of the humainty's struggles pick up this book. Read Full Review
Concepts are thrown out at us in this issue that seem to come out of nowhere and make little sense to me and if that wasn't enough to raise your blood pressure, it all seemed to be filler to get us to our conclusion so that we're all ready for Mr. Oz' big reveal in the next arc. I wish I could say that the art was strong here to try and make this sound better, but that too was pretty weak and I walked away from this issue and and this two issue arc wishing that I didn't read it. Read Full Review
The only reason regular readers might want to grab this is the final few pages, which has Mr. Oz confronting Luthor. It's a fun appetizer for the big reveal and Mr. Oz-focused storyline starting next issue. Otherwise this is another lackluster chapter for Action Comics and readers can safely skip. Read Full Review
Nice team up and story gives you a little teaser of whats to come. Cheers to Mr Oz
Other than the moment between Lex & Superman + The ending. The rest is filler, this feel like the calm before the storm
Same as with the previous issue, this was more of a filler. If it wasn't for that ending, the score would be definitely lower. However, the few final pages left me excited about what's coming next and I am certain that it will not disappoint.
Really don't like the art. And This time I didn't like the story. I find dumb that Luthor has to use New Gods power while that can turn him Darkseid. I like the end with Mr Oz, with some clue & many many question.

Apollos Offers: Accelerated Degree Programs and E-books at NO cost!
GREAT FALLS, MT, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Labor force issues are presenting a real crisis in the twenty first century economy. As the demand for higher skilled workers continues to increase, access to career advancing knowledge continues to become more expensive and less accessible to large portions of Americans. This leaves more and more Americans lacking the skills they need to advance their career. In fact, according to jobvite.com, 65% of recruiters cite a lack of qualified applicants as the biggest challenge in hiring.
To avoid becoming "jobsolete," workers need to increase their skill set and enhance their knowledge in areas like business operations, computer literacy, management, and accounting and finance. With September being the month we celebrate our American labor force and to honor our global community, Apollos University is offering a 50% tuition discount to new applicants who apply and begin courses in the month of September 2019 to any of its award winning certificate, undergraduate, and masters programs.

According to Dr. Scott Eidson, President of Apollos, "we're dedicated to our mission of providing career advancing education to all who seek it and this offer is our way of ensuring that opportunity is truly attainable." Eidson continued, stating, "Our goal is to ensure that the global community continues to grow in the necessary skills needed to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century and our programs and student services are designed to make that goal a reality."
At Apollos, we believe that quality does not have to be expensive. By incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our administrative and curriculum delivery functions, Apollos is able to maintain lean operations and pass along that savings to our students and this special 50% tuition discount is one of the ways Apollos is able to serve the global students.

The furm hands nero coming iu for tupper, tho day was dying as the sun lauk reluctantly behind the trees, and itill Cccilu stood there silently, buried in rcvery, and unmindful of what was ^oing on around her. •A penny for your thoughts, Cecy !" ipoke a mauly voice, and Jock Newton ippeared at the outer door. Ceey, turning, camo outj from hor brown study. •-I was tliiukiug of the picnic to-mor-row, Jurk. No one has asked mo to go, and I wondered if I must stay at iiouic, after all.

But as I was strol. ling past, half iucliucd to give it all up, 1 saw you, and that settled my doubts ns to what to do." There was a lendedight in tho young mau's eyes as ho spoke, and the pretty pink color flushed into Cocile's cheeks. "Of course 1 will go, Jack! Why illow her dislike to spoil our pleasure 1 She will forgive me some day." Ho it is settled ? 1 ou will come with mo?" •Yos, Jack." Well pleased, the young man went on his way. The cause of Mrs. Newton's dislike lo Cecile was a triral one. When she was A little child Cecile's father had given her the deed of a picturesque bit if land, called the west pasture, which lay between the Newton farm and that •f Mr. Gray. Two years before our nory opens, Mrs. Newton had mode Cecile an offer for the land; it would just complete hor east pasture, she said, nnd till in the corner, thus mak-ing her acres form almost a square.; She had sit her heart on having the pas-ture, hut C'ecilo luved the place, and would not soil it.

Aud having thus re-lieved her mind she wont home. For two years she hod not entered Ihe tirey farmhouse unless she knew [he only daughter was absent Good, mothorly Mrs. Grey overlooked the fcUil, wolcomod Jack cordially when-ever he called, paid little neighborly lisits to Mrs. Newton, and iu overy .my tried to -mend the breach which lack's mother kept fresh by daily u-pinings. Cecil, when Jack had gone, went iliont ner duties with a light step and i lighter heart. When ut last every. Ihiug was dune she sought her pretty rioui, which was tastefully adorned by her own hands, and sitting by the win-low, looked out over tho hills and wondered if the morrow would bring lite fair weather the night promised. Meanwhile, Mrs. Newtou, her foco '0.1 with auger, stood listening to Jack, ■\ho with his liedrooiu lamp iu his band, had turned as ho reached tho loot* aud said : "1 Blast IK1 up early in tho morning, u.othcr, for f am going to the picnic. C'ecilo hast promised to accompany mo. I intend to ask her to bo my wife." he mut on, in some coufu.-iou. "She will make you a good daughter, mother ; you kuow you have always longed for nno." "Hut not such a oue as you want to .;ive me," exclaimed Mrs. Newton. 'No, Jack. 1 will never welcome her to il.is house 1 If it had bocu any one doc -but Cecile Grey—never !" "Mother,'' said Jack, drmly, "why can not you overcome this foolish pre-udice ? I shall marry Cecile if she sill huve mo ; better accept tho inovi-laiilc." Aud he left the room. Mis. Newton was takeu by surprise. After a a hie she cooled down a little. After all." she thought, "if he duns many her, that west pasture will come in us. Rut 1 will never giro in, not even for that. Jack shall lose tho farm f he marries Cecile Grey." That night Cecile. in her pretty white bed, dreamed of Jack. At first her ireami were peaceful, but as the night wore on thev ltccame disturbed, nnd at last she awoke with the strange feeliug ihat her lover was in danger. Mechanically she arose, and having loaned wrapper and slippers, went to 'he window. As she threw np the sash and leaned ont across the sill, she saw that a cloudy sky had taken the place of the starry one she had gazed at earlier iu the night. The wind bad risen mil blew in fitful gusts around the corners of the house. A doubled thought of the pleasure she had anticipated came to Cecile, and then all at once, as a stronger gust of wind came to her. she smelled a faint odor of musk. Looking quickly at the boru and other buildiugs. she oonld see nothing unusual. She raised her eyea and looked anxiously in the direction of Jack's house. What was that red glow •pleading above the treetops ! she wondered; aad then aha realized that the Newton (ambonae waa oa In, 4MN All was quiet when slio reached the gate, which was locked. What shonld she do ? She looked up at the high picket, with their cruelly sharp points, and then began to climb resolutely np ; balaucing^ herself on the top she dropped to the ground. Uer skirts caught on the sharp points, but sho mauagod to wrench them free, and never noticing how her hands were bleeding, made hor way to the house. Tho flames shot upward ; tho smoke roUed in huge columns toward the darkening sky, but still no sound came from the inmates of the bnrniug build-ing. Could sho save them ? Would her father never come ? Lookiug auxionsly around she saw an open window; sho sprang through it, and found that alia was in the thickest of the smoke. What she did must be done quickly. She snatched a woolen scarf she had thrown over her head, and binding it around her mouth prejiared to fight her way to the foot of the stairs. Inch by inch sho pressed for-ward, till, blinded by the smoke, she struck her foot against the lowest step. With a little scream of joy she flew np tho stairs and aloug the wide hall to Jack's room. Jack was just awaking from a troubled sleep. Hearing Cecile's voice he in- •tantly sprang up, comprehending tho danger almost before she could tell him of it •Mother sleeiis down stairs in tho lit-tle room on the right," he said in an-swer to her question. "Wait Cocile!" He frantically Bearched for bis cloth-ing, but Cecile was away again, bat-tliug with tho smoko, which almoet overpowered her. Tho flames wore licking their way towards Mrs. New-ton's room. Cccilo saw this, and breathod a prayer for help. She fairly flow down the stairs, aud reached the door just as one cruel tonguo of fire darted across tho top of it She found Mrs. Newton iu a hoavy stupor, and all her efforts to rouso her were in vain. She could not wait for Jack, so she wrapped the heavy form in a blanket, and how, sho know not, mauagod to drag Lor into tho hall. There Jack joined her. He promptly relieved her of hor burden, and in an instant bad led tho way to safety. Mr. Grey and his men, having but just reached the scene, were preparing to fight the fire, and after taking in this fact Cecile's courage and strength gave way, and she slipped down .it Jack's foot. Mrs. Grey now camo hurrying up, and togother sho and Jack half dragged half carried the two helpless ones to her homo. A doctor was sent for, and tho simple application of restoratives aroused Mrs. Newton, who listened with tears to the story of Cecile's hero-ism. Turning to Jack sho said simply and humbly : "I misjudged her. Forgive me." Jack's face brightened, bnt ho con-tinued his restless walk before the door of Ihe room where Cecile lay. Just as tho morning dawned she opened her eyes and asked, "Is Jack safe ?" Then sho fell asleep with a happy smile on her lips. She had burned her hands and arms; her beautiful hair was singed badly, and her strength had been terribly taxed ; but in a month she had recovered suffi-ciently to take a short drive, and Jack took hor to seo the ruins. Every buildiug on the place bad been burned to tho ground. "I am glad of it," said Jack. "I intend to build a new houso to which I shall bo proud to take my wife. Will you come, Cecile?" "What will your mother say ?" she asked with a touch of playfulness, while her eyes gave him tho answer he craved. "She is more than anxions to wel-come you as a daughter." So it was settled; and Mrs. Newton, as she looks at her daughter Cecile's hands, says, "They are the most beauti-ful hands in the world to me, if they are scarred and blackened ;" aud tho feud of the west pasture is at au end. Jack and his wife are very happy. They are talking of another picuic to take the place of tho one planned a year ago, aud it is to be held in the west pasture. Knuinii. M'omrn » Small I'anilllr..

NEW YUBK. We are all beginning to realize that spring is about to dawn on us again, and yet the weather, for the past week here has been something abominable, windy, cold, rainy and of course muddy. Yet in spite of this straw hats are beginning to bud. Only last night at the theatre I counted eight or ten quite near me. It was al the New Empire)lheatre, and one almost holds his breath at the magnificent architecture and grandeur of everything at this temple of histrionic art. The most prominent feature on entering, is the elaborate display of rich marble wainscoting, in vesti-bule, lobby and foryer, and the ad miration increases even unto the end of the very beautiful drama being presented there " The Girl I Seft Behind Me." But I must stifle my enthusiasm, on this subject and return to my hats, which I left most abruptly. The oddest one I saw was an immense Empire poke trimmed with a broad double alsatian |bow and a big purple rose in the centre of it, where some aigrettes were stiffly perched. The frame was of brown straw with long ears, broad ties came from underneath the brown velvet bow and are caught with a rose at each side then tie in a big bow under tho chin. I only spoke of this as being odd for these big poke shapes arc certainly neither pretty or becom-ing, but nevertheless are fashion able and will he worn, because Fiancois, Louise and other of the Fifth Avenue milliners are show-ing them. Then too they go with the big sleeves, short waists, and very full skirts as the dresses are made this spring, or rather the ones copied from imported modcle. The prophesy that big hats were going to be most used is coming true, for we see them in every show window, trimmed with broad rib-bons, and very pretty they are with the grasses and dainty flowers. Still too there are medium shapes and the dearest little bonnets ima-ginable made of jet jewels, lace, dowers, aigrettes anil so much gold. I was standina: by one of the windows at morn the other day when the sun peeped through the clouds for a few minutes and the glitter was dazzling. The hat that bids fair to make the greule.t hit, for early spring is glazed sailor with a high crown, and narroK brim trimmed with a band of < tnerald green velvet, a bunch of violets left side front and another bunch in the back to fall on the hair. The flowers this season are more beautiful than ever and while we see a great many plumes, still flowers will reign. Naturally as it is spring, violets are everywhere, on sedate looking bonnets, on girls hats and in fact on everything in the way of mil-linery we see the saucy little bunches. Some are wired into the aigrettes for the centre of a cluster and stand up naturally stiir and upright to give height to small head wear. Pleated laces of ribbons are one of the new things and trim the dainty little plaques most grace-fully, the soft pleated stuif can be made into such pretty fans and things to adorn the flat brims. Purple veils are still worn, and green ones are shown but I havn't seen anybody yet who has had the courage to wear one of them, as they are most horribly unbecom-ing, and a woman is quick to no-lice this first of all things. I gave one of the Irish maids in my boarding house a white veil and seeing her dressed on Sunday to go out. I asked her why she did not wear it, she answered quick-ly—" Sure and its not becoming to my complexion." Uf course this settled the mailer, and I knew I had to givo hi r another veil. The must popular us well as the most stylish ones are those of net closely dotted with tiny chenille dots, and are worn big and loosely. There are also quite pretty ones, though nut so becoming, made uf plain brussels net with three or four rows of very narrow ribbon to form a border, these 'are shown on the glazed sailors. I have before described, gathered full on the brim and caught up loosely at the back with a fancy pin. The Kiiiiner.ee shades arc every-where, and are going to be the swellcst colors this spring in every-thing, dress goods, trimings, mil-linery and even gloves, these colors would soon become common, were it not for the very trying tints of reddish purple in them, that only a person with very clear skin need attempt to wear, for all of th Eminence colors bring out every blemish in the complexion. C. L. J. The ceremonies and festivities in connection with the recent mar-riage at Cairo of Mahmud Pasha Riaz, govenor of the Suez Canal, to the daughter of the late Rassain Pasha, lasted one week. More than 4,000 guests were invited to the wedding. Many dinners in both the Arabian and European styles were served, requiring the services of 70 cooks and 100 waiters. The marriage was one of the most bril-liant celebrated in Cairo in many yean. Oresham A Democrat WASHINGTON, D. C, March 13.— She question has often been asked ■ince the installation of the pres-ent administration if Judge Gres-ham had really become a Democra-or was simply a discontented Re-publican serving the present ad-ministration because of his per-sonal belief in the patriotism and honesty of President Cleveland- To-day Senator Vest, of Missouri called on the Secretary of State. Gresham and Vest are old and very warm personal friends. They had not met before since the day before the Democratic National Conven-tion at Chicago, when Senator Vest in passing through Chicago called upon Gresham and lunched with biin. To-day, when the Missouri Senator called at the State Depart-ment to see Mr. Gresham, the Sec-retary grasped his hand warmly and said: "Vest, when we last met at Chicago before the meeting of the National Convention, you little thought that when we next met I would be a Democratic Cabinet officers at Washington." "That is 6o," said Vest. "I always know that your associations were Democratic, that you thought like a Democrat and talked like a Democrat. I did not think you would be in so soon, but I am glad to lee you." " Well, Vest," said he, •' here I am, and by , I am the best Democrat in Washington." This declaration it is to be pre-sumed settles Mr. Gresham's status. He reinforced the declaration a little later when Hon. W. L. Wilson, of West Virginia called upon bim. Wilson and Gresham had never met before and the brilliant West Vir-ginian was introduced by Mr. Gres-ham's private secretary. Judge Gresham said: " Mr. Wilson, while I have never met you before, I sat within two or three feet of you when you deliver-ed your speech at the National Con-vention on taking the chair. I agreed with every word you said then and I am perhaps (ready to go a little further now." If Judge Gresham believed every *ord that Mr. Wilson said in his splendid speech on taking the chair at the National Convention it is entirely safe to say that he is a Democrat good enough to serve as Secretary of State in a Democratic administration. The family medicine of the world—Tutt's Pills. Catching and Kissing Bullets. Many and many thrilling stories of marvelous and hairbreadth es-capes have been related of the late civil war but probably none more wonderful than the two incidents we give below m furnished by a participant in tbeNez Perce Indian war of 1877 known as the Cotton-wood fight. " F. A. Fenn had a bullet cut four holes in his pataloons without drawing blood, and one burned both lips and loosened a front tooth. This was kissing a bullet in reality. About one week later I was run-ning a race with some fifteen or twenty Indians; the goal was a small mound ; whoever reached the mound first could hold it. We bad some friends coming on the trail, hich passed just at the foot of the mound. The horse I was riding was quite fast; I had got a hundred yards or so ahead of my companion and stopped to take a shot at an Indian. After I shot I jumped on my horse, just as a young fellow came up. We were on the move, when he said, "Lew, I'm shot." I asked him if he was hurt bad. He said, "No, I have caught the bul-let.', " All right,", said I. " Put it in your pocket." I let my horse run, and soon left him, for I had the trail and the Indians had the grass. I reached the foot of the mound when the nearest Indian was about 150 yards from the foot on his side. The mound was tolerable steep and about 150 feet high. I let my horse climb as fast us he could. When I reached the top I jumped off; and the Indians were on the run to get out of the reach of my long range Remington. I opened fire and kept it up as long as they were in sight. When the excite-ment was over the young fellow showed me where he had been shot. The ball had just grazed his arm, making a blue streak about five inches long, and had struck his gun barrel (where it screwed into the frame) and had raised a dent on the inside of the barrel as large as a pea; it then glanced and fell in'o bis left hand. The gun was ruined, but it saved his life. The shot had been fired at me, as the young fellow had not been in sight for an instant. I tell you those bullets that are out of those Government guns, with 70 grains powder and 45 grains lead, are dangerous things to be kissing and catching. No, thank you, I don't want to be around when there are any more flying." Little Things That Tell. For the PATBIOT. Between Two Cities. Just between them I am staying, One the city or the dead And the other of tbe living. Where men toll for dally bread. Looking Northward from my window, Many a marble shaft f see, Standing over tbe dreamless loved ones Hid awhile from you and me. I'll're lies Charlie, happy playmate Of my merry little son; But bis spirit went to Heaven With their friendship just begun. Little Christine, too, Is sleeping Silently, tbe years aways. All my household fondly loved her. But she said "Good-bye" one day. Hany dear old friends grew tired And they laid them there to rest, " With folded hand and brows of snow, On the green esrtb's mother-breast." Men lie there whose warning voices Thril I'd us as they preached God's will, Now they arc silent but their memory And their teachings linger still. Some have fathers, some have mothers And they wake not yet from sleep; Precious children, sisters, brothers; Can you blsme us If we weep? In the city lying southward. All is motion, work and strife; Eating, sleeping, waking, loving, And we mortals call It life. Some are sad while some seem happy; Still the sun shines on our bead. While we all each day draw nearer To the oity of the dead. "G." The Man Who Doesn't Drink—Mr. Cleveland Looking for Him. A prominent New York Demo-crat is reported as follows in the Hartford Cour.nl: "Those who constantly see him, and who have been consulted frequently as to the forthcoming changes in all the departments of the public service, say that tbe first question which Mr. Cleveland now asks as to any person proposed to him for public place is-does he drink? Mr. Cleve-land, I can tell you, has discovered that it is becoming a fashion not to drink; that the men who do not drink are the men who do the greatest things in this world's af-fairs. He has discovered the value in commercial and in business life of the man who does not drink. He knows that there are some rail-road companies who will not em-ploy a man in any capacity who drinks at any time; that no rail-road company will permit its em-ployes to drink during tbe hours ef service, and that the value of a man who does not drink is each year increasing in his country. He has discovered, I think, that it maybe worth while to apply Ibis principle to polities, and to discov-er whether or not a man is not worth as much for public office who does not drink as he is in com-mercial enterprises." She Was Stupid. They spoke at greater or less length upon politic", religion, weather, millinery, gloves, neckties, skating, the drama, society, danc-ing, the public schools, the church and its mission, the probability of a continuance of sk-ighing, the diffi-culty of getting hired girls, minor importance. Still he lingered. In-stinct told him that tbe old man was yet awake, but be set the dan-ger at naught and stayed. There was another danger which he wished to broach. "My dear friend—" It seemed a very cold and dis tant form of address, but be had previously decided it was the best under the circumstances. "I wish—to—speak to you of something very near my heart." ••Why—" As she stared at him the per-plexity in her face suddenly gave way to intelligence. "Oh, yes, 1 know; your lungs. How are they, anywry? How stu-pid of me not to ask." He never knew what he murmur-ed in reply. When he recovered complete consciousness he was walking home and the crisp snow was crushing noisily under bit feet. Didn't Know it Was Sunday and Plowed AU Day. One of the funniest and most novel cases comes to light. Our good friend, Mr. David Parish, of western No. II township, tells us the facts. Notwithstanding March 5th was Sunday, Mr. Adam Stough caught out his team, put on plough gears and hitched up. He did one of the biggest day's ploughing ir his farming career. By pure ac cident he discovered about 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon that it was really and truly and without doubt the Lord's day. The ladies of the house put in the day baking and preparing for Sunday, which they really thought came tbe day follow-ing. These people are all good, Sabbath observing people, and to make up for the lost time they ob-served Monday as Sunday, except going to church. Just, how they forgot one day in the week may be a dream.—Concord Standard. It is the little things that tell— little brothers for instance, who hide away in tbe parlor while sister entertains her beau, etc. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are little things that tell.

It's all bollocks - there is already a programme available that redirects you through a third party server so the ISP can't tell who is connected to the downloading site.
And I'll bet there's a pirate copy of that out there somewhere too...

You may well be right Dioclese but I have been sent a screen grab of an official deletion notice on YouTube, which happened only 2 days ago.
To be honest, Government quangos have been removing vidoes at will from YT for some time, I have also had a couple removed, but this new Bill has nothing to do with Music copyright and everything to do with 'New Media', censorship.
Please read Kata's post via the link in the above post, if you haven't already, it explains it all rather well ;-)
Btw, congrats on your new blog. Some great stuff on there and I've added it to my blogroll ;-)

I fear Proxy services such as TOR will quickly become overwhelmed by the volume of traffic, if everyone starts using them to try and avoid various internet controls.
Much as I dislike TalkTalk and Tiscali who they took over, if a few more big players took the same stance it would do far more good. Even Liebor wouldn't be daft enough to try and close down large chunks of the UK's internet. When the masses discover they can't get online, they might finally realise what's going on...

There's some more comments from other ISPs and interested parties here:
From O2 having a dig at the entertainment industry:
"The internet has brought about profound changes to the way we all live and work. New companies and industries have been created, and many long established companies have embraced the internet and are thriving in the new digital age. Others have found out the hard way what happens when you fail to move with the times.
It may sound harsh but that's life in a market economy and that's what happens when a technology revolution takes place. Some people vainly try to prop up the old system - like the luddites who smashed up the mechanical looms during the industrial revolution - while others recognise that change is inevitable and adapt to a new model."
That's sounds quite tough wording compared to the normal speil you get from companies :)

I don't understand, was it a photographer whos copyright was infringed? It says the original text content infringed copyright though!
Did the Labour Party seek permission from the copyright holder of the Robert Glennister/ Audi Quattro photo before they photoshopped it and posted it. Did the Conservatives also seek permission before they posted their version? Or is that not the same thing as we have here?

Since it retains most of the sweat you'll probably build up while exercising, it enables you to remain comfortable all throughout your workout session. You won't have to bother with wiping sweat so that it doesn't reach your eyes.
Since the model is made of 100% nylon, it is breathable. Whether you want to wear this visor at a sports game or you intend to use it to get back in shape, the fact is that it is convenient and even boasts an adjustable Velcro strap for a user-friendly fit.Click to see the price on Amazon!
Headsweats Supervisor
Compared to some of the other choices that we came across, this one is affordable and easy to use. It's made from polyester, so it might not have the same sweat-wicking abilities as other nylon alternatives. Nonetheless, it does feature a sweatband that will allow you to remain comfy.
Since it is outfitted with a black under-visor, you will be able to see the game or your path while jogging both efficiently and smoothly. This particular kind of under-visor is capable of reducing glare. Besides, it's worth noting that unlike other options, this one doesn't shrink even if you wash it in the washing machine.Buy from Amazon.com for ($13.1)
SLS3 Run
If you wish to make the most out of your workout sessions, and chances are that's one of your goals, perhaps the SLS3 Run might be right up your alley. It comes in a universal size and has been fitted with an adjustable Velcro strap that can be found at the back. With this feature, you can make sure that the visor provides a snug fit.
The product is capable of keeping your eyes protected from UV rays while you tend to your business. What's more, the fabric it is made of can wick sweat away, thus allowing you to avoid wiping it off of your forehead time and again.Buy from Amazon.com for ($17.99)
CACUSS Women's Summer Sun
This visor hat is unique when compared to some of the others we've showcased, and that's because it is especially feminine. It's soft and light, as well as breathable, but since it has been manufactured from cotton, we recommend treating it with care. It might not last as long as some of the other alternatives we stumbled upon while wrapping up our research.
The neat thing about this choice, though, is that it really does provide good cover as the front part is considerably larger than that of its competitors. It's supposed to have passed a UPF 50+ test.Click to see the price on Amazon!
Wallaroo Hat Company Paper
If you prefer natural options, the Wallaroo choice seems to have been made just for you. It is manufactured from 100% paper braid, so it is definitely environment-friendly. If you care about the environment and would like to get a chance to use reusable products, this visor is the right way of going about things.
The item is practical, convenient, and packable and will fit you well enough considering that it comes with the typical Velcro strap at the back. Since most of those who have purchased the paper braid visor seem to have only good things to say about it, why not give it a go?Buy from Amazon.com for ($31)
Bersun Natural
The Bersun model is one of the lightest options in the line. Having been manufactured with 100% organic cotton, it's another eco-friendly alternative. It needs to be washed by hand, though, so as to ensure that its durability is on par. Everyone knows that cotton isn't the most rugged fabric ever to have been invented.
With its neat-looking design and convenient features, this visor cap can make a great gift for anyone who spends a lot of their time in the sun. It's also worth noting that it is budget-friendly and won't have you breaking the bank.Buy from Amazon.com
MLB New York Mets
If you're a Mets fan, you sure have to check out this visor. This company specializes in manufacturing hats and visors for a variety of teams and states, so you can conveniently pick the one you prefer. If you don't look all that good in a fitted ball cap, this choice might be the right option for you.
Given that the majority of the individuals who have decided to go for the MLB alternative are quick to praise its features, we say that it might be worth investing in. Handwash it, if you can, so as to increase its life.Buy from Amazon.com
How to find a cool visor
Summer is just around the corner and it is time to toss the warm clothes away and say hello to bikinis, t-shirts and tiny beach dresses. And although everyone wants to have a beautiful tan and spend as much time enjoying the sun and its warm rays, keeping your body safe should be a priority.
Now we all know about the harmful effects of exposing our skins to the sun but most of the times seem to forget that our heads need protection too. It is not enough to walk around with SPF 50 creams on your face if your head is exposed to extreme heat for several hours at a time.
As such, you should definitely consider including in your summer wardrobe a wide array of sun hats and visors which will protect your head and hair from excessive sunlight. However, the broad variety of available options might make your decision a bit more difficult, especially if you don't have the necessary time to go through numerous shops in the search for the perfect hat, fedora or visor.
We have created a comprehensive buying guide to help you make the perfect decision for the summer. Check it out below.
How we chose the coolest visors
Visors are very fashionable right now and are suitable for both men and women. However, if you want to make sure you made the right choice, you need to bear in mind some of these aspects.
The size of your head
Visors can be successfully integrated into fashionable outfits throughout the day but they can also be the elements destroying a perfectly good outfit if chosen wrong. Therefore, the first thing you need to take into account when shopping for a sun visor is the size of your head. You need the fitting to be perfect not only to cover you up from the sun but also to sit steadily no matter how fast you move.
There are different ways to find the perfect size for your visor, out of which the easiest one is to try on as many as possible. However, if you don't have the time to do so you can also measure out the circumference of your head and then see just which size of visors will suit you in the future. Just make sure to read the tags carefully before shopping for any item if you don't want to return the product later on.
Absorbing capabilities and fabrics used
Most of the customers who choose to be protected against the sun with a visor have very active lifestyles; therefore, they will need a steady, comfortable and reliable item. Perspiration is an integrated part of any active lifestyle, no matter the physical activity you undergo. Thus, the absorbing capabilities of the visors must be high in order for the product to qualify.
We advise you to opt for products with side panels and bands made from absorbing materials to prevent sweat coming down your face. There are numerous sports brand companies already designing great sun visors with integrated super absorbent technologies so we suggest you take a look at their websites to find the model which will best suit you and your physical activities.
As for the fabrics used, we will always opt for cotton-based products for all the obvious reasons. First of all, these visors are super absorbent and will help to keep you dry the entire day, even if you're out there sweating on the tennis court.
Secondly, cotton visors are extremely comfortable and easy to wear as they are soft, meaning won't cause discomfort or scratches. Thirdly, there is a wide array of available options on the market, thus finding the perfect pair for you is only a matter of personal taste.
On the other hand, although plexiglass and plasticated visors seem fashionable enough, we suggest you avoid using them over prolonged periods of time. They may look good on you but the transparent plastic will reflect the light and won't protect your eyes but might even hurt them in time. Moreover, plastic is not an absorbent material so you may end up sweating as much as before while using these.
Last but not least, finding the perfect sun visors is only a click away in the Internet. There are thousands of available options to choose from, thus it is only a matter of perspective and personal tastes. We suggest you look at your own personal style when shopping for visors.
You should avoid purchasing any white cotton, clear and classic visors for a series of reasons. First of all, they are very plain and won't up the game of any of your sports outfits, no matter how much you try. Secondly, white is a quite difficult color to wear and match, not to mention that it gets dirty easily and all the sweat marks may prevent you from using the product more than once before having to wash it.
On the contrary, we suggest you opt for vibrant, colorful choices, with bold patterns and designs which will certainly make your outfit stand. The most popular sports brands came out with their own bold collections of visors for this year, so finding a suitable model shouldn't be hard. If you really want to be trendy this year, we suggest a camo print and vibrant colors such as pink, violet or yellow.
Additional fabrics
We already agreed on the need of choosing comfortable, soft and organic visors made from the purest cotton. We strongly suggest you purchase at least one visor made out of cotton, but why not look for less conventional fabrics to make a fashion statement?
A sewn braid visor will certainly make you stand out from the crowd and the neat thing about it is that it can be easily integrated into numerous outfits, whether sporty or more classic and chic.
A breathable fabric will provide perfect coverage for your eyes while allowing your skin to breathe. The woven visor of this kind of product features adjustable hook-and-loop straps for easy and comfortable wearing all day long. You can also opt for various colors if natural and cream shades are not according to your style.
Neoprene sun visors are quite unusual yet extremely effective so they must be worth a try, even if just for fun.

Discussion in 'Comeback corner' started by Charley, Jun 3, 2010.
I bet!
More Classic Coronation Street repeats playing yet another Paula classic, this time the feisty bop Knocked Out. Perfect for the moment considering it was being played as Tina Fowler (aka Michelle "done the soap rounds" Holmes), gave her chelating lover what for. Aww, the simple pleasures.
Been a Paula fan since FYG. She's scheduled to play a surrounding area (it best happen hehe). I interviewed her recently- she was very nice.
For the fans, the two articles- main feature and a sidebar.
Paula has always come across as a very nice and down to earth approachable star I think.
Links were not correct two posts up- they're now fixed. Enjoy, if you check them out. :)
What Kind- I agree. She has a rep for some of the "craziness," but she seems like a genuinely nice, approachable person. After the cancellation the other night, she came out and met many fans, some who had purchased M^G packages, and some who had not.
Aww, that's so lovely of her to have done that. Bet they were made up!
Why was it canceled?
The stage supposedly was not equipped to handle the video screens.
The Bethlehem, Pa., show has been moved to Nov. 23, leaving the show scheduled on that date in the cold.
I think the tour management scheduled too many shows within a close proximity to each other, which is an iasue for someone who's not a touring powerhouse.
Still love "rush" song .
Rush Rush, is so beautiful.
I just checked out the UK chart run for the 1990 Pettibone remix/re issue of Knocked Out. Only 3 weeks inside the top 40?? Madness!
Vibeology continues to brutally murder my wig.
Saw her tonight in Cleveland.
What a show. What a career. What a woman.
Sounds like the second leg will get new music added!
I'm here for 2019 music Paula, like damn girl!
Release the full version of Boombox as a bonus track or hell make it the lead tbh
That's because it's forever a bop.
Love this!!
With Paula's show in Bethlehem, Pa., this Friday, I updated the links to the articles. She's had a smooth run of shows, so hope it continues.
Main feature: www.poconorecord.com/entertainmentlife/20181117/the-way-that-you-love-paula-abdul-multifaceted-entertainer-brings-straight-up-paula-to-bethlehem
Sidebar: www.poconorecord.com/entertainmentlife/20181117/paula-abdul-reflects-on-dance-offers-advice-to-up-and-comers
I LOVE that she calls out dancers to utilize the amazing resources we have and to look at past artists/choreographers to study... Such a big believer in that!
^Agreed. Learning from, and seeking inspiration, from the past, will help make a well-rounded performer.
Wow - she really is a talented dancer. She choreographed Debbie Gibson's 'Shake Your Love' and Debbie has said she was very disappointed that most of Paula's work on the video ended up on the cutting room floor in exchange for 'close up' shots.

Foster parenting: It takes a village
Since becoming foster parents, we have relied on our friends, family, neighbors and other members of our support network more than ever. This is a community of supporters that we can call at any hour to give us a sense of peace. Hopefully we can pass this community along to the kids who enter our home.
We are so thankful for the people who have brought over a meal, run an errand to get dishwashing detergent or pull-ups, brought over coffee, held a baby or played with a kiddo for an hour so we can catch our breath.
If you are thinking about being a foster parent, register to attend a new family informational meeting. If you can't commit to being a foster parent, you still can play a vital role in helping to turn a life around:
- If you know a foster parent, reach out to offer your support. Above regular parenting responsibilities, foster parents also have to juggle social workers, regular home inspections, court dates, therapy, parent visits, training, paperwork and so much more. A helping hand goes a long way in finding a balance.
- Do you have extra beds, bedding, toys, books or old baby items? Please consider donating the items to a foster family.
- Organize a tag sale with a bunch of neighbors and donate the proceeds to a local foster/adoptive support agency.
- Be a court-appointed special advocate.
- Be a mentor. Kids need more positive adult interactions.
- Are you a photographer, love to knit or do crafts? Offer some time and a gift to a foster family. Giving a child some comfort items such as a blanket or stuffed animal can help them feel a little more comfortable on a scary day. Family pictures will help a child feel part of a family. It is often the little things that count the most.
- Help save the very valuable adoption tax credit . "Like" the Facebook page and learn more about how you can support it! https://www.facebook.com/AdoptionTaxCredit
- Find out your workplace's Family and Medical Leave Act policy. Advocate for parity for foster parents.
~Jean Northway and Lori Chambers, licensed foster parents

March is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you may catch. It is always a time of change here in the florida keys. Many different species will be migrating throughout our system, all of them desirable. It can be hard to choose what to fish for when so many species are present. I particularly like March because there are so many different options for success. If the wind is not right for sailfish, then usually it is great for mahi mahi which will most likely be only a few miles out from the typical sailfish haunts. If it is blowing too hard for the reef edge then one can easily run to the Gulf of Mexico for some fast action on one of the offshore wrecks catching cobia, Spanish mackerel, snappers, and sharks to name a few. One may also encounter permit or a huge king mackerel at this time of year. The usual groups of goliath grouper will also be fired up and ready to pin an unsuspecting angler to the gunwhale.
A first-timer is the most fun. I always start out by telling him to make sure he does not drop my thousand dollar rod and reel (this always gets his attention). Then I have him put a large dead bait on the bottom. Most of the time the guy never knows what hit him as a big goliath inhales the bait and then heads for the nearest cover. If the tide is wrong, that may be under the boat and around the corner. This always ends up bad for the poor guy as he is trying to look cool and composed in front of his family and at the same time he is doing his level best not to drop the thousand dollar rod and reel! Of course the drag will be locked up in the full strike position putting out around 40 pounds of drag. After a short but extremely intense fight, the giant grouper is floating alongside for photos. Too bad we probably wont take any because about this time a pack of cobias will "pop" up behind the goliath and all hell will break loose. This stuff is way too much fun!
The great news is that this is our plan b if the weather doesn't cooperate; if it does then we will most likely be out on the hump beating the tunas and amberjacks away with a stick and looking for mahi mahi or high speed trolling for wahoo. If you still have not had enough, then we could stop on the reef edge and catch king mackerel up to 40 pounds and limits of yellowtail snappers. Of course, there are the few days where the wind is just right and the sailfish will be "tailing" on the color changes to the southwest. If you hit it just right you may have the best sail fishing day of your life. If this sounds over-the-top, it is just another day here in Islamorada Florida, the sport fishing capitol of the world!

Spring rains are always great for our plants. It helps to replenish our lakes and streams and helps bring the soils back to a point of good saturation after a dry winter and before a dry, hot summer. However, when we see many days with a lot of rain and overcast skies, this can also be detrimental to our plants.
This year we are seeing a lot of fungal leaf spot diseases that look terrible on our trees. These leaf diseases are causing the leaves of many of our deciduous trees to get brown spots, turn yellow, and eventually fall off of the tree. As damaging as this looks, it is actually a minor disease and does not cause major stress to the trees. The diseases we have been seeing include anthracnose, ash rust, cedar-apple rust, apple scab, and other leaf spots.
Anthracnose is a fungal leaf spot disease that can occur on many different host trees and shrubs. There are a number of fungi that cause anthracnose and typically they are host specific. What this means is that there are a lot of different trees that are affected by anthracnose, but oak anthracnose is only found on oak trees, ash anthracnose is only found on ash trees, and so on. So, the disease won't spread between tree species but multiple fungi may be present in a landscape.
The symptoms of anthracnose include small brown or dead spots on the leaves, dead leaf margins and tips, large dead blotches between the leaf veins and premature defoliation may also occur. If premature defoliation occurs early in the growing season, the tree should put on new growth, so don't be too concerned if many leaves fall off the tree this spring. This is often a problem on the lower and inner leaves and branches most heavily while the top of the tree and outside ends of branches will show little to no symptoms.
Anthracnose is a disease that thrives in cool, wet weather like what we saw this spring. The disease is less of a problem if the temperature is above 60 degrees when the buds begin to break dormancy in the spring. Anthracnose overwinters in diseased leaves and branches that are left on the ground. Be sure to always rake and destroy fallen leaves around susceptible trees. Because this disease is not very damaging to the plants, there is no need to use pesticides for control. In the summer heat the disease will fade out.
Ash rust is another disease we will be seeing soon if we haven't already seen it in our ash trees this spring. This shows up as orange spots on the leaves. On the underside of the leaves, finger-like protrusions may develop, for the spores to spread. As with Anthracnose, this is not a harmful disease to the tree. It is best to discard all of the fallen leaves each fall and maintain mulch around trees.
We are also seeing a problem right now called Hackberry decline. Many of our hackberry trees in the area are losing most of their leaves and it looks like fall. This decline is due to many stressors to the tree such as herbicide injury, drought, poorly drained soils, and weather extremes. All of these problems have been occurring to our trees over the past few years and the combination of these problems is starting to cause problems to our trees. This is something that the tree should overcome and there is no control for it.

Cancer Council Victoria is urging leaders to act during Brain Cancer Action Week (May 4-8), as one Australian every six hours is diagnosed with the often fatal disease.
Brain cancer takes about 1100 lives nationally every year and is the leading cancer killer for young people under the age of 39 and children under 15 years of age.
Cancer Council Victoria CEO Todd Harper said that while great improvements had been made in the survival rates of the more common cancers in recent years, brain cancer had been largely left behind.
"In almost 20 years we've seen no significant improvement in survival rates for brain cancer, with the five year survival rate sitting presently at 22 per cent nationally - well behind other, more common cancers, like breast and prostate," Mr Harper said.
With the onset of Brain Cancer Action Week, television personality Carrie Bickmore has drawn attention to the disease by dedicating her Gold Logie to her late husband, Greg Lange who passed away from brain cancer in 2010.
"Cancer Council Victoria applauds Ms Bickmore's brave and bold decision to raise awareness for brain cancer at such an occasion," Mr Harper said.
"Today two-in-three Victorians will survive cancer five years after diagnosis. If we are to lift overall cancer survival rates, investment in dedicated research into 'forgotten' cancers, like brain cancer, needs to happen," he said.
Cancer Council Victoria is investigating the causes of brain cancer and other less common cancers through the Forgotten Cancers Project. We need 15,000 Australians with a less common cancer to take part - visit forgottencancers.com.au to find out more, take part, and spread the word.
This Friday, Cancer Council Victoria in conjunction with several other community organisations is hosting a free forum in Melbourne for brain cancer patients, carers and family. The forum will focus on malignant tumours in adults, and presentations will include information on the latest in clinical trials, new treatment options, understanding more about seizures, and emotional and practical support. To register and find out more, visit cancervic.org.au/braintumourforum.
Charity ABN: 61426486715
Cancer Council Victoria would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work. We would also like to pay respect to the elders past and present and extend that respect to all other Aboriginal people.
