Best news of the day: Pluto may have three moons, instead of one. Appropriately enough for Halloween. ;)
A close runnerup, this post on Treehugger: Marmol Radziner: stunning new prefabs
Los Angeles architects and builders Marmol Radziner have just launched a new line of modular prefabs built in their own factory (these guys do everything!) with this shot that will be heard round the world- possibly the most beautiful prefabricated building this side of the Pacific.
Absolutely gorgeous.
February 2005, my stepfather Jack was diagnosed with lung cancer. It had already reached stage 4 when they discovered it, and it began to move into his bones and liver. The prognosis was not good, and after a ton of initial tests and procedures, he was to begin a course of chemotherapy.
I visited him just before his first chemo treatment and gave him the LIVESTRONG yellow wristband I had been wearing for two years straight.
Although I hadn’t had a struggle with cancer, my particular disease was hyperthyroidism. I had gone from over 200 pounds to about 165 in very little time, was very weak and very crazy for the better part of a year, until I got radioactive iodine treatment, which knocked my thyroid into a below normal state (hypothyroidism), but one which is much more easily treatable with meds.
