An astounding 20% to 40% of cancer patients die from causes related to malnutrition, not from the cancer itself.

In addition, if the malnutrition is not addressed, it can lead to a condition called "cachexia," defined as a wasting syndrome that results in compromised immunity, weakness, and a loss of weight, fat, and muscle.

VFS Acting grad Stefania Putnam recently wrote to us from her home in Thailand with a terrific account of her experience working on the set with Christian Bale in acclaimed German director Werner Herzog’s latest feature film Rescue Dawn, due out this summer. The film is based on Herzog’s own 1997 documentary Little Dieter Learns to Fly, about the U.S. fighter pilot Dieter Dengler who was shot down and made a prisoner-of-war in Laos during the Vietnam War. Seeing as Herzog is one of only a handful of truly visionary directors working today, creating awe-inspiring films that blend fact, fiction, the impossible and the unbelievable, it’s easy to understand why Stefania was so thrilled to have the chance to work with him. What follows is the complete story of her time on set (complete with a few handy acting tips), in her own words:

"Sometimes a journey arises out of hope and instinct, the heady conviction, as your finger travels along the map: Yes, here and here . . . and here. These are the nerve-ends of the world, yet to follow the Silk Road is to follow a ghost. . . . It is not a single way, but many: a web of choices. Mine stretched seven thousand miles, and is occasionally dangerous."

Astronomers have found a new planet.

They have also found the first planet  outside of our own solar system to contain water. Its only super heated steam but it has to have a source doesn it? The rest of the planet is gas. It raises the hope that the substance most vital for life is more ubiquitous in the universe than previously thought. - 2005

Battling depression. Gone to clean my gun. Wish me luck. I am in the jewel of the west coast but my spirit is elsewhere. I am here in physical form only. Far away, away from paradise...in a monochromatic world of green that threatens to turn black, and shines luminescently when the moon is full. When wild mimicry sounds alarms and pushes the skin against bone and corpuscle. The road is neither dust nor mud. Neither dirt nor gravel. Its trodden. Its a makeshift breakshift unsteady rollicking path. Born of inccessant needs from men with infantile demands. For more air, for more space, for more trade, for more water and for more oil and for more banana crops. For more war. The tracks are from armoured tanks. Birds swooping into the trees along the way whistle shrilly. Dogs prance silently instep with their command to hurry on, dont question, sit and worship...they prattle and tip toe away. Sheepish and scared, startled by memories engraved in the landscape dep. the scars beckoning for a healing  only a Mother could provide. Up ahead...a man holds his head high. Tired, Thirsty. He has run away from paradise.

Probably Kurt Eisner of the Black Flag Cafe. He was bragging about working for the New York Subway and has also conspicuously enough worked for the Museum of Modern Art. Of this he has made no effort to conceal, and is practically public information.

 I can just see him using his hacker skills to change the security codes for the museum or something.

Usually only used to break out American spies from Chinese prisons.

Unlike some certain other things concerning the negative detritus from peoples sordid lives.

The only reason RYP dislikes me is I had discovered he was friends with pro-South African apartheid supporters. Or had friends who were against anti-aparthied activists if you'll have it that way.

Great bonus features. Its worth seeking out as Ecuador's film industry is so small, the Bonus features on the DVD show and tell

a lot behind the scenes of this country.

CALGARY -- Despite rumours of a dinner date with Prince Harry, Calgary bartender Cherie Cymbalisty was spotted having a night out with friends on the weekend.

Meanwhile, Harry, whose evening with the brunette last week has been splashed across a British tabloid, has reportedly been confined at a southern Alberta army base since his night out in Calgary.

Cymbalisty, who sold her story and photos of her cavorting with Harry at Calgary's Cowboys Niteclub to Britain's News of the World, had been hoping for a reunion with Harry over the weekend, her boss Doug Donald said yesterday.

"I think she's more than a bit disappointed," he said.

 

--

 

More. More than ...a bit...dissappointed. I know what she must think: what good does confining them do anyway? Heres to hoping Prince Harry can increase his vocabulary soon to include more than just 'wow...."wow"....wow!
