2010 Fantasy Travel Location...



In The Write Light, Tarifa, Spain

Live like a poet

If your creative juices are overflowing and you want to reign them in, then you may want to consider In The Write Light. A creative writing workshop in the heart of Spain’s hippie capital, Tarifa, on the Costa del la Luz, In The Write Light encourages you to explore your passion for words in a location far removed from the routine of working life. Here, you’ll be able to start that novel you’ve always dreamed of and mingle with like-minded folk right on the beach. Run over four days, the course will feed your creative appetite through a series of informal workshops that will develop your talent and kick-start even the most stubborn writer’s block.
When you’re not waxing lyrical somewhere in the dramatic locale, you’ll enjoy staying in a rustic B&B finca. A private and self-sufficient farm with all the trimmings, it’s the polar opposite of city living, and you’ll never want to leave. That’s not to say it’s without style, however; if you opt not to stay in the main building, you’ll sleep in extravagant Bedouin tents outside, complete with oriental rugs, Pakistani beds and Babylonian objéts d’art. And who said creative types suffered for their art?

Testicular Cancer Myths
As a disease full of mystery, cancer is often associated with misinterpretations and myth. Although it’s common for any disease to be misinterpreted, diseases that target a sensitive area seem to be most affected by myth. Such is the case for testicular cancer, a rare but highly treatable cancer in men.

For decades, testicular cancer has been mired in myth. Take for example the silly notion that riding a bicycle can cause testicular cancer. With a little common sense, ridiculous myths like this are easily discounted. However, sometimes deciphering the truth is not so simple. Thankfully, AM is here to dispel five of the most common testicular cancer myths.

1 - Surgery causes testicular cancer to spread

Origin: This myth likely originated many years ago when patients may have had very advanced stages of the disease before seeking medical care. Doctors then operated only to find that it had spread. Observers then mistakenly blamed the surgery for causing the disease to spread.

Reality: The truth is that surgery is usually done to prevent cancer from spreading. Testicular cancer, however, presents somewhat of a challenge. For most cancers, a minor procedure known as a biopsy is performed to fully confirm whether someone has cancer or not. Biopsies involve taking small samples of tissue and viewing them under a microscope. In the case of testicular cancer biopsies may indeed spread the cancer, so in practice they are rarely ever performed. Instead, if a man is suspected of having testicular cancer the entire testicle is removed (in a procedure known as an orchiectomy) to eliminate any chance that the cancer will spread.

2 - Testicular cancer will end your sex life

Origin: As mentioned above, surgery for testicular cancer usually involves the removal of one or both testicles. Considering that a man’s meat and potatoes are often viewed as the defining aspect of his manhood, it’s no wonder that men equate the removal of testicles with the end of all sex.

Reality: In the majority of testicular cancer cases, only one testicle is removed. For most of these cases the man will not notice any changes to his sex drive or ability to have children (i.e., fertility). With the removal of both testicles, however, a man does become sterile and is much more likely to lose interest in sex. Although fertility cannot be recovered, hormonal injections may at least take care of issues with sex drive.

3 - Testicular cancer is an old man’s disease

Origin: The occurrence of cancer generally increases with older age; thus, it’s not uncommon to lump all cancers in the old-age category.

Reality: The reality is that testicular cancer is a young man’s disease with most cases occurring in men aged 15 to 40. In fact, testicular cancer is most common in men in their mid-twenties, although it can occur at any age. Thankfully, however, testicular cancer is one of the most easily treatable and curable cancers. According to the National Cancer Institute, the five-year relative survival rate for all men with this cancer is 95%, so be sure to perform regular self-examinations to catch the cancer as early as possible.

This Ford Taurus Is A SHO-Off - luxeCars

 

This Ford Taurus Is A SHO-Off

By Phil Hall

 

Right off the heels of a successful launch of the new Taurus, Ford gives us one more reason to appreciate this impressive new full-size sedan with the high performance SHO trim.  Those familiar with the Taurus model line may be familiar with the previous SHO models the company has put out.  The original started a cult-like following because it delivered a sporty package not usually offered in a family sedan.  This incarnation of the sport trim is based on a much more substantial platform than before giving it a better base to build from.

 

Differentiating itself from the base Taurus, the SHO offers minor styling tweaks and most importantly an improved powertrain.  Under the hood of this much sculpted heavy weight is Ford’s new twin-turbo direct-injected 3.5l V6 Ecoboost engine putting out 365hp and 350lb-ft of torque.  Linked to that is a beefed up version of their recently released 6-speed automatic transmission sending power to all 4 wheels.  Yes, this is quite an impressive package.  The performance numbers on paper can compete with most V8s and Turbo V6s offered by its competition all while delivering decent fuel mileage.

 

On the road, the car has a very planted feel and you can feel the weight in an almost German car way.  The car is no slouch either, it can get to 60mph in less than 6 seconds without breaking a sweat.

 

Styling subjective, Ford was able to create something that’s very American yet can appeal to those who may not have ever imagined wanting a domestic car.   Coming in at a very long 202.9 inches you immediately get an idea of how massive the car is, but it has a very athletic stance and is quite masculine, almost as much as Chrysler’s 300.  Inside you will find a spacious cabin with high quality materials nice to the touch and a whole list of techy goodness like Ford’s SYNC media software.  Ford definitely did their homework, now it’s just up to the consumers to take notice.
