Car Insurance Northern Ireland Quotes
Insurance Companies in Northern Ireland are providing low-cost car insurance quotes.
It seems like every time we turn around we're paying for one type of insurance or another. Home insurance, car insurance, life or health insurance – there seems to be no end. Yet, without this insurance coverage, where would we be if an accident or disaster happened? Auto insurance is an area where many try to skimp on, which can be a huge mistake. Some car owners, particularly those living in Northern Ireland, often have difficulty finding both good and affordable car insurance. Northern Ireland residents often run into a wall of frustration trying to find auto insurance in the UK. Why is this and what can they do to get the best possible car insurance?
One main reason why so many UK insurance companies will not provide car insurance in Northern Ireland is that this area has seen so many troubles in past years, causing many car claims and insurance premiums to skyrocket. In the last couple of decades, prior to the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland went through a period of civil unrest, which resulted in many vehicles being stolen, damaged, destroyed or used in illegal activities.
Simply click on the type of insurance you require and then on the insurers of interest to open a quotation page. All quotes obtained are without obligation.
Because of the high number of auto insurance claims, the premiums increased and many companies in the UK refused to offer auto insurance coverage to drivers in Northern Ireland. Another situation that caused many problems with obtaining car insurance in Northern Ireland was that many cars either were involved in bomb situations or were actually used as bombs.

Reno´s insight view about Red Bull King of the Air!
Oozing style both on and off the water, Reno Romeu is North Kiteboarding's Brazilian smooth operator. Residing in Rio De Janeiro he first started kiteboarding in 2002, progressing at lightning speed hitting the PKRA tour a few years later. Having cruised through the heats in last years event, he was invited to participate in the Red Bull King of the Air in Cape Town, South Africa for a second year running. Always looking to improve his performance on the water and push the boundaries of the sport we caught up Reno after the event.
How is it coming from the PKRA into a competition like the Red Bull King of the Air?
It's truly great! All year I'm travelling on the PKRA tour and there is a lot of pressure that comes with it. It's refreshing to participate in an event where I feel so relaxed. The Red Bull King of the air is one of the best events around with such a great atmosphere, hype and extreme conditions. It's great fun and I get a lot of enjoyment out of doing it with friends and other riders.
Do you rate this style of riding even though you are more technical?
I would say that the this event requires technical riding, just in another way. The PKRA requires a certain style and the tricks are very technical so you really have to be focused for the duration of the event, even when you are not in the water. The Red Bull King of the Air is more like a momentum. It is a competition but, you are just trying to go bigger then the other riders on the water. With all the adrenaline pumping through your body your mind set is different, it's almost like you go a little crazy. You just have to go for it!
You chose to ride in boots for the competition. Why is that?
I actually tried riding straps in the first heat as I was afraid of hurting myself and compromising my year ahead on the PKRA, but it was awful. After only using boots for a longtime now I couldn't ride as I wanted. I still made it through the heat but as soon as I got out of the water I put the straps to one side and grabbed my boots. In this event, you go big or you go home. There's no doubt that with boots I have more control of the board, can ride faster, land harder and hold more pressure from the kite. All important factors for the King of the Air.
What was your set up for the event?
I rode the 10 meter and 8 meter Vegas with the back lines on the 'wakestyle' setting. My bar had 22m lines which was great for high jumps and aggressive kiteloops and I rode the 137cm Team Series with the NKB Banana Boots, of course.
How does this 'hangtime' set up differ from your usual wakestyle set up?
I didn't actually change anything. I love to go big anyway, so often after a training session I go for a freeride and catch some big airs. The Vegas is a great kite for both styles, the key for this event is to take a bigger kite then normal and hit the water totally overpowered.
How do you prepare for an event such as this?
Drink a Red Bull. It gives you wings!
Do you think we will see a return of the 'old school' riding as there has been so much emphasis on 'wakestyle' over the past years?
I don't think so. In my opinion, every activity you do, you look to improve the technical difficulty of it. It's the natural progression of sport and I don't see big air doing this. Big air is a show and I don't think it can become something like a World Tour as its not really that technical or difficult, it's extreme!
Tom Hebert the uncrowned Red Bull King of the Air
Tom Hebert is one of the original Kiteboarders starting in 1998 and has been a North International Team rider for 3 years. Born and bred in New Caledonia he's the man who's put old school riding back on the map with his 25 m jumps, flair and monumental amount of style. We caught up with him after the Red Bull King Of the Air competition where he soared through the heats, dominating with his 'WOW' factor and crowd pleasing, it looked like he was hot competition for the podium. Unfortunately he had a heavy crash that took him out of the running but he was the name that everyone was talking about.
Hi Tom, how are you feeling after the event?
Not so good, (laughs) I 'm in quite a lot of pain.
Your crash has over 90,000 views and has gone viral. What was going through your mind at the time?
I arrived late to the kicker which put me off balance straight away. At 25 meters high and mid rotation I saw that my kite was pointing down towards the water. I lost all orientation and had very little control. I tried to correct it and get it right but it was too late.
The event is called King Of The Air. With this style of riding being your forte and having a lot of experience, tell us about your ultimate equipment set up.
The Evo is the ultimate kite for me. I pair it with 24 meter lines and the Team Series board with straps. The Team Series is everything I look for in a board; it's fast and light. I ride the 140cm x 42cm as a bigger board is softer in the chop and offers more stability on the landings. I 'm not a huge fan of using a handle for board-offs so I like to put a bit of foam on the top edge of the board and patch of skate grip on the bottom. It gives me a firm grip especially here in the cold water where you can't feel your hands.
The Evo in my opinion, is the perfect kite from the North range. It provides the best lift and has a lot of hang-time especially with longer 24m lines aiding to deliver more duration to the jump.
How do you set your equipment up to go so high?
It's really important to get maximum power and output from the kite, even if that means riding with my arm extended and the bar all the way out. I gain height from a combination of sending the kite and pulling down on the bar. It's simple, you need to be overpowered to go big. I always make sure that I pump my kite really hard, this way it maintains it's form and reacts well to anything I initiate. I know that 6psi is ideal but I never put less than 8psi.
On anything smaller than a 10m kite, I move the back pigtails to the harder setting and then to the softer setting for the larger sizes. I also move the lines to the inside setting of the bar on any kite under 10 meters. This way there are no surprises with your kite moving too fast or being too responsive. 4.6cm fins provide me with the grip I need to go high, especially when overpowered and my stance is around 50cm. If it's too narrow you loose stability and it also looks a bit strange.
Kiteboarding started with a hang-time style of riding but, there has been so much influence from wakestyle over the past years with everyone riding boots. How do you think this sort of event will shape the future of old school riding?
I think old school riding is going to come back sooner than we think. Kiting is a sport that has developed through mirroring other board sports. Wakestyle is like wakeboarding and wave riding like surfing. However, kiting is an original sport where you can do tricks that you can't do in any other. The main reason I kite and where I get a lot of pleasure is by going high and performing tricks that I can't do in any other sport. I'm not saying that wakestyle is bad but it's just that I prefer to go 25 meters up. You name me another water sport where you can do that. Kiting needs to find it's own way and not copy other sports. You only need to ask a wakeboarder what they think of kiteboarding and they'll say that we are copying them, which is a shame as kiting is an original sport. That's why I like old school and it's nice to see the Red Bull King Of The Air supporting this. It would be great to have more events like this over the year as it attracts many spectators putting kiteboarding on their radar. It also helps those unfamiliar with the sport to understand it a bit more as the style of tricks aren't too technical. It's impressive.
There are not many people doing this style of riding anymore, it seems that old school got lost along the way in the growth of the sport. Where do you draw your inspiration from?
When kiteboarding started we didn't have a clue about it's potential. We just went riding and tried to invent new moves. Creativity is key and I draw a lot of this from talking with other riders. In New Caledonia we haven't given up on the old school and we still push this style of riding together and do new tricks. I suppose I draw inspiration from my home spot where there are many people still loyal to big air. For sure if you are alone it's hard, but with a group of friends there is competition which makes it a bit more challenging.
Is 'old school' the new 'new school'?
I think so, it's certainly making a come back. You need to incorporate manoeuvres that look dangerous and hard all the while keep the fluidity and style too. There are so many options so, for now it is an infinite side of the sport. There is always space for new tricks.
What do you think of the riding conditions in South Africa?
Cape Town is not the easiest place to ride, it's really windy with big waves. There are very few places in the world where you can go so high. Coming from New Caledonia, I'm used to 18-20knts and 25-30 degrees. Here the water is so cold it's hard to find the motivation to put a wetsuit on but, as it's rare to find somewhere with such perfect and massive kickers, it compensates for cold water that I'm not used to. The only problem is that it gets crowded, so you need to take a lot of care when going big as there will always be someone in your way.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
For anyone that wants to go high, do board-offs and rock the old school style then they need to ride the Evo. It's the ultimate jumping machine. Also with the new NKB Tracker app available soon the contest is on! My record is 25 meters so I accept the challenge wherever you are.
Ken Winner and Sky Solbach´s inside view about the new Neo
Sky Solbach:
The 2014 Neo is a full-on dedicated wave kite. It's got all of the key performance characteristics we felt a wave kite really needs to have and also happens to be a really fun and playful free-ride kite.
1. Quick, "round" turning. Everyone knows quick turning is good for waves because allows you to position yourself exactly where you want to be on the wave and allows you to make small corrections in kite positioning at a moment's notice. But the real key to the Neo is not just the quickness of the turning but the WAY in which it turns. It has what we are calling "round" turning, which means that it really tracks through a turn and generates power immediately and equally all the way through the wind window. This means that when you are on a wave you can generate power whenever you need it, no matter where the kite is in the window. This opens up a lot of new possibilities and really helps to link more turns together with flow.
2. Drift. Drift is super important for surfing waves because it allows you to park your kite and focus on surfing the wave rather than constantly needing to steer your kite and follow it through every bottom and top turn. The Neo's amazing drift gives you more room for error when surfing waves and allows you to recover from those mistakes without dropping your kite. We spent a lot of time testing the Neo's tolerance to slacked lines and optimizing the weight in the wingtips to drift straight backwards and not twist and fall nose down.
3. Lots of low-end power. The low-end power of the Neo allows you to ride a kite 1 to 2 square meters smaller than you normally would. This means you have a small, more compact and faster turning kite in all conditions.
4: Quick relaunch. The compact shape of the Neo makes relaunch super easy and allows you to get your kite up quickly before getting munched by the next wave!
Ken Winner:
The Neo has evolved into a pure wave kite, so Maui is the perfect place for developing it further.
And while the image of Maui involves perfect peeling ground swell and strong, steady sideshore wind, the reality is different. Sure, there are perfect days, but there are also a lot of days days with average waves and gusty wind. And while we test Neo protos at breaks like Lanes and Ho'okipa and Outer Sprecks, we also test at Waiehu, where the waves consist head-high to triple-head-high wind swell, and the onshore wind from 10 to 30 knots.
The 2013 Neo was a great starting point, as it had many great qualities already, so we focused on building its strengths: good power, easy turning and excellent drift.
As everyone knows, one of the most important qualities of a wave kite is its ability to turn quickly and precisely. The easiest and surest way to make any kite design turn quickly is to make it small, so for 2014 we bumped up the power of the Neo. This means riders can ride smaller, faster-turning kites than they may be used to. It's not uncommon for Sky to be riding at a Maui break on a Neo two meters smaller than what other good riders are using.
Quick turning also requires a kite that doesn't luff or flutter a lot on the side that is on the outside of the turn. We kept this luffing and fluttering, which is common on three-strut kites, to a minimum through careful strut placement and profile design. The profiles in the tips are quite flat and even the first profile above the tips struts were carefully tuned to avoid the draggy luffing that can slow turning.The two leech battens on each side help with this also.
Drift is another key quality in a wave kite. This is improved through optimized weight distribution. We had great drift with the zero-strut protos we tried, but surprisingly we had even better drift with the two- and three-strut protos. Something about the lower center of gravity.
Relaunch on the Neo is almost effortless and almost instantaneous, in large part because of the tight cone and increased sweep.

© and (P)2004 Audio Connoisseur
"Charlton Griffin is dazzlingly good, with regional accents, with the change in timbre from a boy's voice to a woman's and a man's, and most of all with his nuanced understanding of how to deliver the narrative from writer to reader without getting himself in the way." (AudioFile)
"With its flawless technical recording values and masterful presentation, this first volume in the Audio Connoisseur Classic American Short Stories series will leave the listener eagerly awaiting a second volume!" (Midwest Book Review)
"Beautifully performed!"
The stories in this collection represent probably the best writing that has been accomplished in American literature. This is the good stuff, much of which you may have already come across in high school or college. In the hands of Charlton Griffin, these stories have been transformed into audible works of art. I didn't find these magnificent pieces depressing at all, and I must say that hearing them performed so well was a revelation. America has made a great contribution to world literature and hearing this collection will make you realize this. An educated person needs to hear this one.
"brilliant reading"
I can't imagine a better reader--with the possible exception of Richard Brown, who narrated many of the O'Brian novels (Master and Commander, etc). The sound effects (trains, subways, old-time fiddle music) transform the reading--brilliant in itself; Griffin does an immense range of voice and accents--into something even greater. One reviewer complained that the stories are dark. Well, sure, most of them are dark. What else is new?
"Over produced"
The stories in this collection are generally strong, but the performance is overproduced. When a character hears a Strauss waltz in his imagination, I don't need the producer to literally include it. I have an imagination too! There is too much music, too many sound effects in every story. The narrator has a wonderful voice, but was overly melodramatic at times. I agree with a previous reviewer - it should not be about the narrator, and it should not be about sound effects. Let the music of the language carry. For a contrast, check out the short stories of Zora Neale Hurston narrated by Renee Joshua Porter. What an amazing delivery, but the narrative still shines through.
What a bunch of downer stories! The writing was eloquent and poetic. The reading was excellent. The Faulkner story was especially poignant. But why would anyone put these stories together for a collection? Five of the seven stories turn on someone dying a sad and lonely death. All except Daniel Webster are totally humorless. These stories should come with a cyanide capsule. Oops, I think that was the plot of one of the stories...
"Not bad"
Good short stories and narrating is very good. I kind of liked that some of the stories are a little on the downer side - it sucks you into the characters. But it just wasn't too entertaining for me. I was a little bored. It was kind of like watching an old black and white movie. Its a classic, but still an old black and white. I'll take Matrix over Casa Blanca any day. If you prefer Casa Blanca you might like this.
"Stop the Music!"
Anyone who can't listen to a story without music.
The story selection is first rate.
Stop the music! These stories were meant to be read - they stand on their own and the addition of sound effects is imbecilic!
Don't ever again insult great American literature with the addition of music and sound effects!
"great stories survive overcooked narration, barely"
Five stars for the stories, a half-star for the narrator whose affected resonance and melodramatic thoughtfulness draw more attention to themselves than to the texts. Narrators like this make me want to say: It's not about you, it's about the book.
"Very disappointing read"
I was looking to improve my American Literature experience so I selected this book. I have been very disappointed. The subject is very depressing, the topics appears to be peoples "death". People???s death or killing themselves thru literature is not my idea of a good read. The world has so many negative things happening so a book about American short stories should be more positive and upbeat. If you are a depressed person stay very clear of this book it will not be good for you.
Get out of the negative world of "Death"
I made a big mistake purchasing this book.
"Wasted money and time."
I have been most disappointed with this selection, and every short story selected to be part of this recording is awful. Not only are not very entertaining, they each end with a death, or similar dark ending. I will also document that half of the stories don't end, as an ending per se, but leave the reader in a lurch. Save your money and save four and a half hours of your life, better spent standing in a picket line or grocery store line.

Energy Saving Tip:
Keep your tires properly inflated. For every 3 pounds below recommended pressure, fuel economy goes down by about 1 percent.
Clean or replace furnace, air-conditioner, and heat-pump filters to improve efficiency.
Dry multiple loads of laundry consecutively. You'll take advantage of the residual heat from the previous load.
Crawl into your attic and inspect for insulation. If there is less than R-30 (11" of fiberglass or 8" of cellulose), you could probably benefit by adding more.
Collect your utility bills. Separate electricity and fuel bills. Target the biggest bill for energy conservation remedies.
Try to anticipate stops and let your car coast down. Braking and accelerating hard leads to increased pollution, wasted gas, and worn-down brakes.
Baking 1 or 2 potatoes? Use the microwave or toaster oven instead of heating up the whole oven.
Insulate hot water pipes and ducts wherever they run through unheated areas.
Follow the speed limit! Driving 75 mph instead of 65 mph will lower your fuel economy by about 10%, and can dramatically increase tailpipe pollution.
Have very leaky windows? If buying new energy-efficient windows isn't in your budget, use weatherstripping and consider adding storm windows.
Use regular gasoline unless your owner's manual says otherwise. High-octane fuels improve neither fuel economy nor performance.
Combine trips. Warmed-up engines and catalysts generate much less air pollution, so combining several short trips into one can make a big difference.
Set your thermostat back (forward) when you can accept cooler (warmer) conditions, such as night time or whenever you leave your home for several hours.
Use overdrive gear at cruising speeds. When driving a manual transmission, shift up as soon as possible. Higher gears decrease fuel use and engine wear.
If your walls aren't insulated, have an insulation contractor apply blown-in insulation (cellulose or fiberglass) to the walls.
Help your air conditioner work more efficiently by using CFLs and running the dishwasher and clothes dryer at night.
Use your car's vents and open windows to cool off before you turn on the AC; AC use increases fuel consumption and NOx emissions in some vehicles.
Buy low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, and compact fluorescent light bulbs to save on lighting and water heating energy.
Schedule an energy audit for more expert advice on your home as a whole.
Turn down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120°F). You'll not only save energy, you'll avoid scalding your hands.
Replace 60-100W incandescent lights that you use several hours each day with CFLs.These lamps can save 75% of the energy used by incandescents.
Replace aging, inefficient appliances. Even if the appliance has a few useful years left, replacing it with a top-efficiency model is generally a good investment.
Unplug or use power strips to cut off energy to electronics that are not in use. Anything with a power brick, indicator light, or remote control uses energy even when "off".
Start using energy-saving settings on refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and clothes dryers.
Have your heating and cooling systems tuned up in the fall and spring, respectively.
When possible, plan your trips to avoid rush hour. Stop-and-go driving burns gas and increases emissions of smog-forming pollutants.
Avoid "jack rabbit" starts and aggressive driving. A second of high-powered driving produces about the same carbon monoxide as a half hour of normal driving.
Install occupancy sensors if you (or your kids) are always forgetting to turn off lights.
In addition to making your car or truck last longer, replacing the oil and oil filter regularly will help fuel economy. Check your owner's manual for specific guidance.
Buy low-rolling-resistance (LRR) replacement tires. Switching to a typical set of replacement tires lowers a vehicle's fuel economy as much as 4 percent.
Refrigerators with side-by-side fridge and freezer doors (even ENERGY STAR models) tend to be much less efficient than models with the freezer on top.
Get a tune-up. Whether you do it yourself or go to a mechanic, a tune-up can increase your fuel economy. Follow owner's manual guidelines.
Seal up the largest air leaks in your house—the ones that whistle on windy days, or feel drafty. These holes may add up to as much as an open window or door!
Keep your refrigerator/freezer in a cool location (i.e. not next to the stove or in the garage).
Take a load off. Carrying around an extra 100 pounds reduces fuel economy by about 1 percent. Take a few moments to unload your cargo area.
Check the age and condition of your major appliances, especially the refrigerator. You may want to replace it with a more energy-efficient model before it dies.

The President is elected for a renewable term of two and a half years, i.e. half the lifetime of a Parliament. The President represents the European Parliament vis-à-vis the outside world and in its relations with the other EU institutions.
Assisted by 14 Vice-Presidents, the President oversees all the work of the Parliament and its constituent bodies (Bureau and Conference of Presidents), as well as the debates in plenary. Twelve plenary part-sessions are held each year in Strasbourg and six more in Brussels.
The President ensures that Parliament's Rules of Procedure are adhered to and, through his arbitration, guarantees that all the activities of the institution and its constituent bodies run smoothly.
The President is the representative of Parliament in legal affairs and in all external relations. S/he delivers an opinion on all major international issues and makes recommendations designed to strengthen the European Union.
At the beginning of every European Council meeting (summit) the President of the European Parliament sets out Parliament's point of view and its concerns as regards the items on the agenda and other subjects.
After the European Union's budget has been adopted by Parliament, the President signs it, rendering it operational.
The EP President and the President of the Council both sign all legislative acts adopted under ordinary legislative procedure.
The candidate who obtains an absolute majority of the votes cast in a secret ballot is elected President. If an absolute majority cannot be obtained after three ballots, the President is elected on the fourth round by a simple majority.
The President's term of office, which may be renewed, is two and a half years – half a parliamentary term.
The President directs Parliament's activities, chairs plenary sittings and declares the budget finally adopted. The President represents Parliament in the outside world and in its relations with the other EU institutions.

Pronounced: bue-SUL-fan
Classification: Alkylating Agent
Busulfan exerts its anti-cancer affect by a process called alkylation. Alkylation damages the DNA of cells, which prevents them from dividing, and causes them to die. Since cancer cells, in general, divide faster and with less error-correcting than healthy cells, cancer cells are more sensitive to this damage.
Busulfan is taken by mouth once a day. It can also be injected into a vein. It can be given alone or with other drugs.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Busulfan. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your fingernails/toenails may become dark, brittle or fall off. You may notice dry skin or changes in the color or tone of your skin. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, which can result in severe sunburn or rash. Sun sensitivity can last even after chemotherapy is completed. Avoid the sun between 10-2pm, when it is strongest. Wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) everyday, wear sunglasses and long sleeves/pants to protect your skin. Keep your fingernails and toenails clean and dry. You may use nail polish, but do not wear fake nails. Notify your doctor or nurse if any nails fall off. For more suggestions, read the Nail and Skin Care Tip Sheet.
In some cases, the heart muscle is weakened on this medication. It is important that you report immediately to your doctor or nurse any shortness of breath, cough, ankle swelling, chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeats. Your doctor may order tests to check your heart function prior to receiving this drug or to evaluate your heart when symptoms develop.
Your doctor may order blood tests to check the level of electrolytes in your blood. If needed, your doctor may prescribe supplements such as magnesium, calcium or potassium. Call your doctor or nurse if your experience muscle twitching or cramps.
Busulfan may cause serious pulmonary fibrosis (a scarring and stiffening of the lung tissue), particularly after repeated treatments or when high doses have been received. These problems can develop months to years after treatment is completed and may be more common in people with pre-existing lung conditions. You may have breathing tests (pulmonary function tests) performed periodically. Call your physician right away if you have shortness of breath, cough, wheezing or difficulty breathing.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness - read more about coping with vaginal dryness. In addition, the desire for sex may decrease during treatment.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking or egg harvesting if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Seizures can occur when Busulfan is given in high doses. Your doctor or nurse should be called immediately if you experience a loss of consciousness, twitching, tremors or uncontrollable shaking. If seizure activity begins others should help you to the ground, place pillows around you and place you on your side if possible. Nothing should be forced into your mouth.
Dec 8, 2010 - Individuals who donate peripheral blood stem cells or bone marrow do not appear to be at an overall increased risk of cancer, according to research being presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, held from Dec. 4 to 7 in Orlando, Fla. According to another study, acute myeloid or lymphoblastic leukemia patients who receive double unrelated cord blood transplants may experience better overall outcomes than those who receive single cord blood transplants. Other studies being presented address stem cell transplant procedures in treating various hematologic malignancies and highlight zoledronic acid's ability to improve survival in multiple myeloma patients.

Roger Federer's racquet, the BLX Six.One Pro Staff 90 is designed to offer the advanced player supreme control, feel and stability. In this version of the venerable 90, we also found improved maneuverability. Easier access to faster swing speeds upped both the spin and power potential for our TW playtesters on groundstrokes and serves. At contact the racquet still offers an incredibly solid and stable feel. Touch is enhanced via a new technology placing strips of basalt graphite in the handle to better connect the player to the ball. Power with this racquet comes from the player's ability to utilize the mass of the racquet. Those with long, fast swings will find they can hit a power and penetrating shot with this one. On shorter swings such as volleys, the racquet offers all the stability needed for touch and control. Again, the mass of the racquet can be used to punch the ball deep and away. All in all another impressive 90 offering from Wilson and with its improved maneuverability, this one is also better suited to a wider variety of players.

No doubt, but maybe he will learn from his mistakes. I think it could be pulled off if he goes for the Starwars approach. Have a larger battle going on, meanwhile a small group preform a covert mission that will decide the outcome of the battle. I think it would be cool if the war happened somewhere like the ghost zone and the main characters have to break into somewhere heavily guarded like HIM's lair.Blood Lord wrote:Am I the only one that is hoping for peace?

Can you imagine if the gift is a Minnie-sized version of Mandy's usual outfit? It's entirely possible (in my opinion anyway) that Mandy might leave Minnie in charge of the castle (the 'head stitched on straight' comment') if she (Mandy) goes out on the war-torn field to command this war herself. What better way to make your daughter look like shes in charge then to dress her up like the boss-lady herself?
Doubtful, maybe, but a fun theory!

quote:you just did
quote:I know what I said about making the wrong signing was obvious. But I was just trying to say we have very little room for error this offseason and maybe even the next.
quote:And nah. This team has all the pieces except for MAYBE an upgrade @ SF. One of the best players ever- Anthony Davis Annual All-Star- Eric Gordon Borderline All-Star- Ryan Anderson Decent PG who is a leader- Vasquez All we need is a top 25 SF and we are set if Aminu doesn't develop a jump shot(unlikely). Heat Best players ever-LBJ Annual All-Star- Wade Borderline All Star- Bosh Decent SF who is a leader- Battier Chalmers average/below average starting PG Thunder KD Westbrook Ibaka Martin Perkins
quote:Also, our bench – outside of Anderson – is putrid. Although last night's win was nice, until proven otherwise it was an aberration and with the way the roster is right now, we are one Eric Gordon pop to the knee away from being the team that we were for the first couple of months of the season.
quote:One of the best players ever- Anthony Davis Annual All-Star- Eric Gordon Borderline All-Star- Ryan Anderson Decent PG who is a leader- Vasquez All we need is a top 25 SF and we are set if Aminu doesn't develop a jump shot(unlikely).
quote:Gordon will be fortunate to make 2 All-Star teams. Anderson won't make one in the west. I'd put my house and car on that.
quote:damn. it may not be probable, but those things could happen
quote:Smiht/Rivers/Anderson/Roberts/Whoever isn't an awful bench.
quote:If Rivers/Anderson are gone by the time this team makes the playoffs, then something really awesome or something really terrible happened.
quote:Yea my post was mainly directed at smith and not Rivers/Anderson. I hope he stays with us. But you rarely find a guy who loves a coach/team so much that he's willing to take a pay cut while he is still young.
quote:I hope he stays with us.
quote: Playoffs are a good bet next season and a must in 2014/2015.
quote:2014/2015. I dont see Rivers leaving between now and then
quote:Does Aminu somehow get a Landry-type deal from us if his play gets more consistent?
quote:I could see a Landry deal if there is nothing out there to spend on. I wouldnt be upset with a 2 or 3 year deal for about 4-6 million per, assuming he continues to play like this. Would be a nice trade chip at that value as well.

"This is my favorite cake! Super moist and light! ??"
"Turned out awesome, super easy to make and a definite make again recipe!!! Soooo yummy!"
"Cake was good - frosting impossible to make. Could not find a 3.4 oz. pkg of instant sugar free pudding. Used a 1.5 oz. & a 1 oz. & couldn't use a whisk as it was too thick. If making again I would just use the sugar free cool whip and skip the pudding."
"i didnt do a very good job with the jello portion of this cake...i dont think i made the holes right and the jello didnt sit in them the cake just soaked it up but it is still one of the best cakes ive ever had the icing is amazing and i will never buy pre made icing again i will only make it this way cant wait to try this again but with a different flavor...."
"This certainly was not my family's favorite. There was too much lime jello and it was much too strong. Will not make this again."
