Beauty and Cancer: Two Survivors Talk Beauty
Makeup artist Sheri Stroh, 40, of Toronto, was diagnosed with breast...
by Special to the Kit
Makeup artist Sheri Stroh, 40, of Toronto, was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of 2010 and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment. When her hair started falling out, she had an unexpected reaction. "I shaved my head and I was pleasantly surprised—I felt kind of badass," she says. "I had bought a wig and scarves, but never wore them, because they made me feel like a sick person."
A beauty aficionado in both life and work, she adapted her routine to her new reality. "I'm lucky that I was able to deal with the physical changes," she says. "I could always make things better with makeup." Stroh had become interested in natural cosmetics about a year before her diagnosis, but at that point decided to switch over completely. She started browsing health-food-stores and reading blogs and books like No More Dirty Looks ($19, indigo.ca) for recommendations. Here are the products she came to rely on, during treatment and beyond.
SIMPLE SPA AND SHEA BUTTER CLEANSER
"I went to Pure + Simple, a Toronto spa with a holistic approach to skin care, for advice. Martina Gebhardt's shea butter cleanser got me through treatment when my oily skin became dry."
Martina Gebhardt Sheabutter Cleanser, $45, pureandsimple.ca
A GENTLE ELIXIR
"You can have a reaction to lots of things during treatment because your immune system is down. Kypris Beauty makes some of its oils without essential oils, so they are super gentle."
Kypris Beauty Beauty Elixir III, Prismatic Array, $150, kyprisbeauty.com, beauteabar.com
"It's a time to really take care of yourself, like moisturizing your hands a lot because they get so dry. Aveda Hand Relief is by far my favourite."
Aveda Hand Relief, $30, aveda.ca
NAIL NURTURE
"I was proactive in taking care of my nails. I applied nail strengtheners like Butter London 999 Rescue System and Horse Power Nail Fertilizer before and after treatments, to prevent ridges."
Butter London 999 Rescue System, $46, Horse Power Nail Fertilizer, $24, both butterlondon.ca
MOUTH HEALER
"You can develop mouth sores and tooth and gum soreness due to chemo. Weleda Salt Toothpaste kept my mouth in shape so I didn't suffer the usual problems. The taste is strange at first, but once you get used to it, you may not go back. (I didn't.)"
Weleda Salt Toothpaste, $8, weleda.com
OIL UP
"I kept my body hydrated with coconut oil. When you lose your hair, your scalp gets dry and flaky so I'd slather my head in olive oil, let it sit for a few hours then wipe it off with a towel. I also love Yarok and La Bella Figura's natural hair and scalp treatments. Rahua (rahua.com) is not the cheapest line, but it's a great treat when you are feeling down and need a pick-me-up."
Barlean's Coconut Oil, $20, at Amazon.com, Nature's Emporium and Healthy Planet; Yarok Feed Your Youth Hair & Scalp Serum Anti-Aging Treatment, $32, Amazon.com and freshfaced.ca; La Bella Figura Bohemia Verde Aromatic Hair Elixir, $28, at ecodivabeauty.ca
ONE WOMAN'S BEAUTY STORY: Why Marina Morsani, 67, never gave up her lipstick
"In 2001, I had a lumpectomy done on a lump under my right arm. I was diagnosed with breast cancer that same year. They removed the lump and my lymph nodes on the right side. I had chemotherapy eight times, every third week, and after that I had radiation for six weeks. I've now been cancer-free 13 years.
"I lost all my hair after the chemo—all my body hair, eyelashes, eyebrows. I was completely like a baby. I never bothered to draw in my eyebrows or put on false eyelashes, but I was working for a property management company so I had to wear a wig. And I always put on lipstick. I took care with my clothes, my face and my perfume. Even now that I've been retired for two and half years, I'm always ready to go out. Always dressed with my face on.
"I'd coloured my hair from the age of 19, when I started seeing a white strand once in a while, to age 54. But when I lost all my hair, I let it grow back white. I thought, "No, this time I will just see what I look like with grey hair." That's when I got the compliments. I had no idea what my hair would look like but it looks great.
"I'd always waxed my legs and my bikini line, but after the chemo, the hair did not grow back on my legs or underarms. I just have a little bit at my bikini that I wax now. But I'm against pedicures and manicures because I'm afraid of infections.
"I never realized how much I loved massages until a masseuse said I shouldn't stimulate the body because the cancer can metastasize elsewhere, though I have never spoken to my doctor about it. Once they find out you have cancer, they don't want to massage you.
"Before bed, I'd put Vaseline around my eyes because I found that in the morning I was very dry. But otherwise I kept the same system as before. My colouring changed, because of the grey hair. But the makeup routine is the same: eyeshadow, eyeliner pencil, and lipstick. That's the only thing I would not live without: my lipstick."
—Marina Morsani, 67, Saint-Lambert, Que.
From booking facials to colouring regrown hair, we assemble pro tips for navigating the beauty realities of treatment
KEEP SKIN SOOTHED
Reduce dryness, flaking and irritation during therapy by taking sponge baths instead of full baths or showers, and adding mineral oil, oatmeal or oil-based soap to the water. Avoid products containing alcohol, which dries out hair, skin and nails. —Canadian Cancer Society
SHELVE HOT HAIR TOOLS
Use the low setting on the hair dryer—or, better yet, let hair air dry—and avoid hot styling tools. —Canadian Cancer Society
LASH WITH CARE
"If you don't touch your eyebrows and eyelashes, there's a chance they'll stay in longer than the hair on your head. And by the time they fall out there will already be new growth there. Fake lashes can be annoying to deal with. Instead, darken the lashline with an eyeliner and a darker shadow. This gives the illusion of lashes." —Sheri Stroh
SPA VISIT? CALL AHEAD
The spa isn't off-limits during or post cancer treatment, so don't be shy about booking a facial—or giving one as a gift to a loved one. Tell the therapist about your cancer treatment at the time of booking, so they take extra care and wear gloves to avoid infection. —Holly Sherrard, Dermalogica's education manager
WHAT'S OFF LIMITS
Avoid manicures and pedicures—the risk of infection is too high. "If [clients] have a decreased immunity then their healing response may take quite sometime. Or they might not heal at all," says Sherrard Other off-limit treatments: waxing, peels, wraps and microdermabrasion. Ask your doctor before booking a massage.

Q: C# Client - Perl server - File Path Case Sensitivity We have a C# .Net client application that sends some commands via REST over HTTP.  The server is on a Linux machine written in Perl.
These commands contain file paths located on the server that can be entered by the user.  Since the users are on windows, we'd like for them to be case-insensitive, but this is giving us some issues in locating the files server side.
How can we get the correct casing?
We have 2 possible solutions:

*

*Use a winapi call on the client to fix the path to be properly cased.  (These files are visible by a shared folder on the clients computer)

*Use some perl code on the server to locate a file with a case-insensitive path as input
Any suggestions?  We would like this to work on all client machines that are Windows XP SP2 and higher.
UPDATE: We decided it should be fixed client side, on the rare case that there is a case mismatch.
We run this if we get a "file not found" error on the directory of the file.  Someone would have to modify this to work for files as well, but in our case the filename could never be wrong (I'd rather not explain why):
        string FixDirectory(string fullpath)
        {
            return fullpath
                .Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar)
                .Skip(1)
                .Select(path =>
                    {
                        string[] split = fullpath.Split(new string[] { path }, StringSplitOptions.None);
                        string tempDir = split[0];
                        string[] dirs = Directory.GetDirectories(tempDir, path);
                        fullpath = fullpath.Replace(Path.Combine(tempDir, path), dirs[0]);
                        return fullpath;
                    })
                .Last();
        }

A: Your first proposal makes sense -- if the client can see the file, then use an API call on the client to get the real filename (with the correct case) before submitting that data to the server.  The user shouldn't have to manually type in a filename at all - use the standard "Browse..." widget to bring up a dialog box that allows the user to find the file in his filesystem.
Using a case-insensitive file search on the case-sensitive server should only be a last resort. As you mentioned in your follow-up comment, there are various edge cases that are annoying to account for, so it would be best to avoid this scenario entirely.

A: This sounds like a job for the server. If you give a case sensitive server a case insensitive string, it can more easily find the desired file than the client can.

A: Can you normalize the character cases on your server?  For example, force all directory and file names to be lowercase.
If so, then your server process would easily convert requests for My/FILE.XLS and my/file.XLS  to my/file.xls.
Normalization avoids a lot of complicated search logic and it prevents collisions between similar file names.

ReSound hopes to explore what kinds of new ecological understandings and ideas might develop through different methods of perceptual experience, while putting forth a potent metaphor for surviving a potential future given our current ecological crisis.
Using the Arctic Circle as both a focal point and a point of expansion, the ReSound project explores the sonic relationships and connections among different climate change events occurring throughout the world. The unique properties of sound and field recordings will be utilized to express climate change data, as different ecological and geospatial data sets, tied to critical geographies, are transformed into a layered, playable audio soundscape.
The physical installation consist of two main parts. The primary component is a large, interactive sound map that allows users to selectively isolate, play, loop, connect, layer and speed up / slow down the multiple audio streams available. Players interact with this soundscape using the second main part of the piece, a controller made of ice cubes. As the ice cubes melt, players lose the ability to control the system or the environmental soundscape.
Through its application, ReSound examines the potential of using auditory perception to navigate the challenging spatial, temporal and resolution characteristics of ecological systems and climate-change data.

Since I am sharing the skeletons inside (and outside) of my closet, whenever I make cupcakes I typically do not make them from scratch. (Gasp!) Shocking I know, but sometimes it is either that or no cupcakes at all and making no cupcakes is sometimes unacceptable! And who doesn't like Betty Crocker anyway?
While I used the store-bought cake mix, I did add some unique touches that you are welcome to try (and change) to improve the cupcake.
With the oven preheated to 350 degrees and the cake batter mixed well, fill up 2/3 of the paper liners in your pan with batter. I added the Reese's Peanut Butter Chips after I filled the liners and tried to mix them in each liner to spread out evenly using a toothpick. I prefer adding small items like this at the end to spread them out evenly in each cupcake. Mixing them in the bowl first could result in the chips ending up at the bottom and leave some cupcakes without any.
While you bake and let the cupcakes cool, you can prepare the frosting. I placed half the frosting in a small bowl and half of the peanut butter. I listed 1/2 Cup total, but more can be added depending on how strong you want the peanut butter flavor. While I know how to make frosting from scratch, this is definitely easier and not as time-consuming. If you ever need to bake in a rush but still want a unique flavor, this is the way to go.
For the swirl on the cupcake I used a Wilton 1M swirl tip. I tend to not overwhelm my cupcakes with frosting so I swirled a generous amount of frosting starting from the outside going in. I do have bags by Wilton that I use for the frosting, but you can also use 1 gallon freezer bags and cut the right size hole at one of the corners to also get the job done. Add the sprinkles if you like before the frosting hardens, and then you are done!
My co-workers and I tested them and everyone approved so I hope they tickle your taste buds too. (I displayed them in my cubicle on a pastry plate that I purchased at Ikea.) I really hope you enjoyed my first recipe post for cupcakes and I am inspired to share more in the future. Let me know if you try this recipe or how you put your own spin on it.

Facebook Banking Takes Off In Turkey
Posted on June 4, 2013 June 4, 2013 3:59 pm
Mark Zukerberg himself was likely ill prepared for the impact that Facebook would have on the world. The social network site has permeated almost every sector of business – even the banking industry.
Facebook banking hasn't exactly passed the tipping point, and some of you may have never even heard of it. However, such services do exist, and for the people living in Turkey, Facebook banking has become customary.
DenizBank of Istanbul claimed they were the first to launch a Facebook bank branch in 2012. The branch allows accountholders to transfer money all hours of the day and everyday of the week. Users can also manage daily transactions linked to credit, debit and deposit accounts. There is even an application on the Facebook site that allows them to chat with customer service representatives for support.
As DenizBank's social media banking matured, other functions were added. New services allowed customers to make money transfers, purchase and apply for loans and new products as well as invite other friends and family to use the platform.
It seems Turkey has transformed into the epicenter of Facebook banking. According to the Financial Services Club, Akbank, based in Turkey, also offers a Facebook banking app.
Turkey has revolutionized into a digital hotspot. Turkish banks have had room to breath since the Turkish government eased up on tight banking regulations in the last couple years. Financial authorities deregulated old laws in order to promote more bank competition.
Other countries are following the social media light and rolling out Facebook banking app accounts. ASB Bank in Australia and New Zealand and ICICI Bank of India have also use the social media site as a platform for banking services.
Despite the increase in popularity, some customers have expressed security concerns about using Facebook as a site for banking services.
Financial Services Club reported that Sujit Ganguli, the head of communications at ICICI Bank, said, "Our customers were worried about going into their bank services from Facebook but, as we made it clear to them, you leave Facebook and are using our usual secure servers once you accept and install our Facebook app."
The pivotal word here is "app." As ICICI bank reassured consumers, along with DenizBank, that its services are similar to mobile banking apps, but just in Facebook format.

The Basketball Federation of Serbia & Montenegro (KSSCG) will soon be looking for a new president after current incumbent Miodrag Babic offered his resignation at a recent executive board meeting in Belgrade.
The offer is expected to be accepted by the KSSCG's General Assembly at a meeting later this month.
Babic's request to stand down comes days after the departure of Serbia & Montenegro head coach Zeljko Obradovic, who resigned after his side's disappointing showing as hosts at EuroBasket 2005.
Obradovic's men – who have won back-to-back World Championships, were European Champions in 2001 and comprise of a clutch of Europe's leading players – finished second in Group D and were then knocked out in the elimination round by France.
"I've resigned because I feel responsible for everything that happened to our national team at the European Championships and for the big disappointment after the Blues were eliminated even before the decisive game at Belgrade Arena," said Babic, whose side displayed a distinct lack of unity throughout the tournament.
"I didn't play and I wasn't coach but as captain of this ship, I have the responsibility for our chosen course.


Boarding school for orphans and children without parental care located at #7 Gagarin Street, city of Carpineni, region of Hinecesti in the Republic of Moldova. Director of the institution is Tenu Tudor. There are 120 residents ranging in age from 3-17 years. The problems confronting the institution are many but the main priority is repair of the bathroom.
This problem has existed for a long time within the institution and there was some emergency repair work done previously. However, this bathroom is unique in the institution and has not been repaired in such a long time that it now in a deplorable condition. The wood has rotted, the taps are defective (those that still remain), and although we have raised the ceiling tiles, the door no longer closes, etc. This request is for assistance and attached are a price quotation and some photographs. I hope that with your help we will succeed in fixing the bathroom and make it possible for the children to improve their hygiene. In order to expedite this effort, we will work with a nongovernmental agency called "Viitorul" or "Future" which is currently active in the area of child protection. This is necessary to avoid the various obstacles in managing money raised from donations and sponsorships. We have had unpleasant experiences in the past and do not wish to repeat them.

U.S. job openings drop sharply
MarketWatch First Take
'All My Children:' the end may be near
Published: Mar 22, 2011 12:09 p.m. ET
Commentary: The demise would mark the end of an era
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The end may be near for "All My Children," the ABC soap opera that has been on the air for 41 years.
The cancellation announcement could be imminent, according to a report on TV Squad. When the show debuted, Richard Nixon was in the White House, the war in Vietnam raged and the Beatles had just broken up. Read full TV Squad posting on the fate of "All My Children."
But television executives are paid to ignore sentimentality. The show is past its prime and something may have to be done. According to Deadline, the show finished last in the important demographic of women 18-49. It was watched by 463,000 people in that group, a drop of 34% against a year ago. The soap also finished last in total viewers, accounting for 2.32 million.
Nothing is sacred. TV executives may have to re-think the concept of the soap opera altogether. The Internet, computer games, gadgets, cable news and talk radio have encroached on TV in general, and soaps, which offer mindless fantasy, look ripe to be victims.
And "All My Children," which launched the career of many TV stars, wouldn't be the first long-running soap to get the axe. CBS CBS, +31.58% cancelled "As the World Turns" and Guiding Light" in recent years. Networks are realizing that viewers don't need to follow the antics of Erica Kane and her ilk anymore to get their kicks.
If ABC, a unit of Walt Disney DIS, +0.01%, killed the show, the move would surely mark the end of an era. But it looks like fewer and fewer viewers would notice.

First off, the AwesomeSauce Team would like to congratulate Saucy G and Awesome K on their upcoming wedding! We couldn't be happier (even our Mews Matilda seems OK with it!), and we look forward to many more adventures, and posts, from the happy couple.
Second…off….The AwesomeSauce Team is a pretty positive group (we like to think). Hardly ever shall we write a negative review, or blog, because negativity takes a lot of time and energy. Energy that could be used on more awesomeness! However, once in a while a negative review might pop in here and there – not because we are trying to be nasty – but because we feel you should know before you go.
WHEW! OK, now lets get to the blog post, shall we?
Recently the AwesomeSauce Duo took a quick trip to Las Vegas, you know, like they do. The two day trip was for a couple of batteries that needed some recharging, some smallish poker tournaments, and, most importantly, to do some recon on wedding chapels!
The first stop was the Aria Poker Room, for the daily 1pm tournament. Both G and K entered, but only one made it to the final table…IT WAS SAUCY G! With over 120 entries, the tournament was one of the largest that Saucy G has participated in, and the second tournament she has cashed in! She played a solid game, made smart decisions, and was able to stay patient and wait for the cards when she needed to. Awesome K was an excellent cheerleader, and coach, keeping an eye on the game as best as he could from a safe distance away. Saucy G ended up coming in 9th! Congratulations on a great tournament G!
Later that evening, after eating the best burger in the world (part victory, part amazing food!) in the Paris casino, the duo headed over to the Flamingo for a midnight tournament. With a $50 buy in, the duo both entered. A much smaller tournament, with only two tables, but the competition was still fierce! The duo was on fire, with another final table and cash win! The 3rd place midnight tournament winner was…SAUCY G! That's right, two tournament final tables/cashes in ONE DAY! YAY! Awesome K was, again, a wonderful coach and cheerleader, beaming with pride as his "protege" shipped it in Vegas. Nice work team!
Day 2 was all about wedding recon. Not surprisingly, the duo plan to wed in Las Vegas!
Earlier this year, with the help of Mama AwesomeSauce, the duo thought they had found the perfect little chapel for an intimate ceremony. The pictures on the website were stunning, and the whole team felt like it was going to be a perfect fit. A deposit was paid, and everyone thought they were ready to go! All from the amazing website!
Saucy G needed to see the space in person, just to be sure it was perfect. Boy is she glad they checked it out ahead of time! Whoever took the pictures for the website should get an award, because the reality of the space was VERY different in person. The chapel was not in a very nice part of town (wedding row, as the team lovingly calls it, really isn't a safe neighborhood), with it being sketchy in daylight – there is no way you would catch G walking that sidewalk after dark. Next to the chapel is an abandoned lot, filled with trash and who knows whats. Inside, the space was very tight, uncomfortable, and uninviting. The space offered two options for a ceremony, the indoor hall, and the outdoor gazebo, both of which are stunning online. In person, the indoor chapel looked very neglected. The "silk" flowers were covered with dust and dirt, the "candles" looked like dollar store rejects, and there was a distinct odor to the space that did not invoke feelings of everlasting love. The "bridal suite" was nothing more than an electrical closet, painted to look like an outdoor garden – that looked as though it had also been neglected. The paint was peeling, and the odor was getting stronger.
Once outside, headed to the gazebo area (that the duo had reserved), our guide showed us the route the bride would take. The route backed to an alley, complete with homeless men, trash, and the strongest odor of cat urine G has ever smelled (and she has had cats her whole life). It was all G could do to not start crying – and not tears of joy. The guide must have taken as joy, because she pressed on. After winding her way over the cobbles, passing the dumpster and homeless man, the bride walks into the gazebo area. Rickety benches, full of splinters and sadness, adorn either side of the aisle – leading to the gazebo. Words escape us. The gazebo looked as though it was about to topple over, taking its fake dirt plants with it. Surrounded by the sounds of traffic, the smells of pee, underneath power lines and a fire hazard, the duo decided that this was NOT the place for them to start their lives together. The left as quickly as they could, canceling their reservation as soon as possible, happily fore-fitting their deposit if it meant never setting foot in there again.
The moral of this story? ALWAYS tour the venue first, no matter what the reviews say or the pictures look like. If you are getting married, renting or buying a house, or really any reason, please please PLEASE check it out in advance. You don't want to be out $100, cause yourself undo stress, and potentially get married in an alley. Better safe than smelly, I say!

Draft Control's founder, Selim Ghanem, has been working as a heating and cooling specialist for over 14 years.
Having previously worked at a number of Ottawa's largest HVAC companies, where he was a top-rated technician and customer service specialist, Selim decided it was time to bring that knowledge and experience to his customers directly, so he founded Draft Control.
What makes Draft Control different is that they focus on the customer — not the brands they carry.
