When I came to grips with the idea that the short term relief I was getting from the medications might cause long-term damage, especially to my liver, I became desperate to get off of them. I'd tried in the past, but each time I dropped the dosage on my medications, my symptoms would worsen.
By learning from the mistakes of other angioedema sufferers online and understanding how prednisone affects the adrenal glands, I was able to wean myself off of the steroid completely. Prednisone takes the place of cortisol, a naturally occurring hormone in the adrenal glands. When a person uses this type of steroid, the adrenal glands create less of their own, and so the body eventually requires the steroid to continue working, which is why reducing dosage, even incrementally, can have side effects. I'd read that others were able to wean by dropping the dosage by 1 milligram each week, and that they'd increased the amount of other meds, like Doxepin, to help them. With the agreement of my doctor, this is what I did.
I also tried "oil pulling", an Ayurvedic cleansing ritual, received weekly acupuncture treatments to help with my anxiety attacks, and took probiotics daily. I'm not sure if it was the alternative treatments, the medication, or a combination—or if the condition simply eased up on its own—but after ten weeks, I was able to get off the Prednisone. A few weeks later, I weaned myself off of Doxepin too. I'm not cured, but I'm better. Now I only take steroids in emergencies, on top of one daily Allegra and one Zantac—yes, Zantac. Who knew that there were histamine receptors in your stomach, too?
I hadn't realized how intricate our bodies are until the angioedema. The reason my eyes become bloodshot right before I have a facial swell: tiny blood vessels in my eyes were swelling as an immune response. Amazing, how it all works.
I hate the cold, detached analogy that the body is a machine. Our bodies are simply what they are: they are us.
Now, I have enough confidence to be my own healthcare advocate and weigh my options before immediately taking a drug that a doctor prescribes. I can talk knowledgeably about different drugs, ask my doctor questions, and incorporate non-Western modalities where appropriate.
I'm not by any means advocating that people forsake their doctors in favor of Google. But today's technology offers people with rare diseases the ability to take ownership over their health and to seek support rather than dwell in sickness alone. Ownership, in my case, meant a combination of guidance from my doctors and the knowledge I'd gained from people, websites, and online forums.
In an ideal world, there'd always be a George Clooney nearby, reassuring us of our inner strength during rough times. There'd be doctors who could always eradicate the root cause while treating the symptoms. There'd be friends around whom you wouldn't mind burdening with how scared you are and how weak and pathetic you feel. But, as Kurtis Blow once famously said, these are the breaks.
For now, I'm perfectly content LOL-ing with my fellow swellies online about our "Botox lips without the Botox price" or hitting up a relevant thread on a chronic disease forum. Or, on the days when it's too intolerable, taking a few extra pills if I have to and crying into my husband's shoulder.
Five months ago, when I was a month into the disease, I wouldn't have said what I can confidently say now: I am completely optimistic that even if there isn't a cure for angioedema in my lifetime, I will be just fine getting through it.

Colony groups set for liquidation
Date: August 9, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort will be closing as a resort operation, and its approximately $200,000 in assets will be liquidated after U.S. Bankruptcy Judge K. Rodney May ruled Monday to convert the Colony's Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization to a Chapter 7 liquidation.
May also agreed to give complete control of the units at the historic resort to the 232 unit owners.
May did not take the advice of U.S. bankruptcy trustee William Maloney, who suggested in his second report that the bankruptcy case should be dismissed. Maloney argued for dismissal because there is less than $200,000 in estate assets and more than $1 million in expense claims against the estate.
Maloney also advised Judge May to give the unit owners possession of their units for the foreseeable future, while keeping the hotel partnership in place for the time being between the owners and Colony owner and Chairman Dr. Murray "Murf" Klauber.
Miami attorney Jordi Guso, who represents Maloney, told the judge a settlement conference went nowhere last month, when members of the Colony Association Board of Directors refused to work with Klauber or Colony Lender LLC, which owns Klauber's overdue bank loans.
Association attorney Jeffery Warren denied that his client did not act in good faith while attempting to negotiate a settlement.

- May the Colony rest in peace. And may the unit owners move on to consummate a sale that would enhance all owners' well being and resurrect a new resort on a most beautiful piece of Gulf front property that would eclipse the Colony in its heyday.

A memorial service for the man found dead under the Sunset Bridge is scheduled for Friday at 1 p.m.
Family and friends of William P. "Bill" Pickard, 38, will gather at the Family Faith Community Church, 708 W. Nora, for a service, then at Linwood Park, 7720 N Country Homes Blvd., for a potluck.
Spokane police detectives continue to search for clues on Pickard's death, which was ruled a homicide after his body was found under the bridge last Wednesday. His car was found in the 1500 block of West Glass Avenue the next day. He told his family he was going to a bar Tuesday, but staff said he never showed up.
Pickard was a few classes away from earning his chemical dependency counselor degree at Spokane Falls Community College.
He graduated from North Central High School in 1990, where he helped lead the wrestling team to a league championship.
Anyone with information on his death should call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.

Transelectrica SA (TEL), Romania's state- owned power grid operator, sees its profit declining by more than half in the next three years after reaching a five-year high in 2011.
The Bucharest-based company sees its net income likely to fall to 40 million lei ($12 million) this year, from 91 million lei in 2011, Transelectrica said in a filing to the Bucharest Stock Exchange today. It expects a profit of about 41 million lei in 2013 and 43 million lei in 2014, according to the statement.
Transelectrica plans to invest 782 million lei this year to upgrade an outdated power-grid, so it can carry increasing electricity supply amid growing wind-power output. Romania will probably expand its wind power capacity to 1,400 megawatts by the end of this year from the current 800 megawatts, Environment Minister Laszlo Borbely said on Feb. 28.
The company plans to increase investment to 881 million lei in 2013 and 831 million in 2014, it said in the statement.

Universal to sell DRM-free tracks, excludes iTunes
Universal Music Group has announced plans to begin selling DRM-free tracks from select artists such as Sting, 50 Cent and Stevie Wonder, for a limited time. The tracks, which are to be available as unrestricted MP3s, will be sold on the artists' websites and through several online retailers, such as RealNetworks, Wal-Mart, Amazon.com, and Google. The DRM-free tracks will not be available, however, through iTunes. Some believe that this is a move by Universal to undermine Apple's overwhelming lead in this market; Universal claims that it is using the iTunes Store as a control group for measuring the impact of DRM-free sales on pricing, piracy and sales. "There's no doubt these guys are poking a stick at Apple," said Michael Gartenberg, analyst for Jupiter Research.
Universal Music Chairman and CEO Doug Morris said the test is one of several the company is conducting this year and "will provide valuable insights into the implications of selling our music in an open format." "Universal Music Group is committed to exploring new ways to expand the availability of our artists' music online, while offering consumers the most choice in how and where they purchase and enjoy our music," Morris said. The tracks will be available from Aug. 21 to Jan. 31.

But can they stop with the corporate language? At least they didn't say "consume their music". Ugh.

Hello Universal. Porkbutt here. Hey you know what, we aren't making enough money reselling the music we have had people buy over the past 40 years in several different formats. I say we find a way to marginalize iTunes so that we can jack up prices again. The consumer? Who cares about them, we have our precious lard butts to pad.
Posted by porkbutt on August 9, 2007 at 11:07 PM (CDT)
I agree with Guess What. I mean, it screws us in terms of getting DRM-free music, but I want to support iTunes. For Universal it's the perfect plan. If iTunes suffers then there's more power to them, if iTunes does well and DRM-free music suffers then they can say the public doesn't want DRM-free music. I say we boycott Universal.

I for one am not running around the net to different sites to figure out which song I like is from what label and what site to download it from crap. My only source of online music is iTunes and the occasional cd here and there at the record store. I am not getting my music anywhere else. If it isn't there, then I'm not buying it.

I just hope that the downloads are than an actual CD. In my opinion online music and movies are still copies/lower quality to the original. I think that movies/tv shows should come included or at least there should be an option to pay a little more to get a copy of the movie for your computer or whathaveyou but no one would ever go for that.

Wow! I think we can safely say that Universal officially sucks! What a shame they are putting so much effort into undermining a win - win product like iTunes, and so little effort into actually creating something positive. Sigh
Posted by lostkiwi on August 10, 2007 at 4:24 AM (CDT)
Apple should just pull all UMG stuff from it's iTMS for the duration of Universal's trial period. It would be interesting to how it would affect UMGs sales figures.
Posted by The Raven in USA on August 10, 2007 at 6:09 AM (CDT)
The real questions for me are:
1. How much will tracks cost? (Want to see if they'll really be 99 cents.)
2. What bitrate will they be at?
3. What songs/albums will be available. "Select artists" doesn't sound very promising to me. I like a number of Universal artists but I doubt they are the super popular ones that are likely to be "selected".
If it's going to be 128 kbps, then forget it. I'll just continue buying iTunes tracks and freeing them from DRM using one of the solutions that have been around for years now. But I would jump ship for 256 kbps DRM-free MP3 tracks for 99 cents.
Posted by dodo on August 10, 2007 at 9:13 AM (CDT)
The only reason Universal are doing this is because they plan to charge more then 99 cents a track like iTunes, or they will force users to download the complete album for a price about $1 lower than a CD. No thanks.
You know whay people use iTunes? It's convenient and gives one-stop shopping. I go there buy the tracks I want (very rarely a complete album), sync my iPod and I'm done. Why do I want to troll from website to website looking for what I want when it comes to music.
Universal, you are about to shoot yourself in the foot. Listen to MC Lars…
"Hey Mr. Record Man
The joke's on you

Posted by DontCare on August 10, 2007 at 11:13 AM (CDT)
It's a stand off, but I'd love for Apple to remove all Universal Music from their iTMS. Unfortunately this sort of move from Apple is unlikely, they'd be injuring themselves as well. I think boycotting Universal Music is a consumer issue, but it's one I don't think enough people would get behind to send a message, ie in the Universal pocket book. Of course other record labels will probably side with Universal and follow their lead. Apple as become a player and they don't like that. Perhaps Apple can strike back in other ways like only promoting music with labels that play nice, so offer the Universal music, but the consumer will have to look for it, ie not on the home page.

Posted by Galley in Greenville, SC on August 10, 2007 at 12:32 PM (CDT)
Wow…what a bunch of apple fanboys. Are you people seriously saying you'd rather by DRM-laden music from a single source who controls 90%+ of the market and pushes around the record labels, artists and even national governments instead of supporting DRM-free music and an open marketplace for digital music. Of course this is a business decision for Universal. They're tired of getting bullied by iTunes and Steve Jobs and not having any say in how their music gets sold. But it just so happens that this WILL end up being good for all consumers if DRM-free music gets support and catches on. At that point, digital music becomes a commodity that gets sold all over the net, in universally compatible format. You know that Amazon will use it as a loss-leader product to get you into their store. I wouldn't be suprised to see 89 cent or even 79 cent tracks to get you in so you'll buy an iPod from them.
You people seriously need a lesson in economics and the free market. It's ironic that many of you undoubtedly scorn Microsoft for doing the same things Apple is doing to digital music. It's called a monopoly folks, and it's not good for anyone except the monopolist.

In a sea of plenty, consumer loyalties are being tested, and their decisions—where to eat, get a haircut, or sweat—are being driven by who has the best deal.
"I put a hold on my gym membership because I have enough coupons at other gyms to last me six months," says Tara Gradoville, a dental hygienist living in DC. "I like to switch things up. I'll do boxing for a month, yoga for a month. I once bought a coupon for Jazzercise. One of my coworkers said, 'Isn't that an exercise from the '80s?' "
Gradoville, 37, subscribes to 40 deal sites and has more than 50 active coupons: "As soon as my alarm goes off, I look at my iPhone." She figures she slogs through 50 e-mail offers a day. "I'll skim for brand names and open only the ones that interest me."
Some of the attention-grabbers include a Dolce & Gabbana suit for $200 ("It was worth $800"); a weekend at By the Side of the Road, a B&B in Harrisonburg, Virginia, for $350 ("One night there costs $400"); and an American Apparel sundress for $10 ("When a $30 dress is only $10, I'll buy three colors"). Gradoville has bought coupons for massages, acupuncture, chiropractic work, and Botox.
Her passion for a discount overrides any psychic shame attached to the bargain.
"At first I was afraid of looking like I was cheap," she says, "but then my coworker said, 'Cheap? You shop even more now. You spend twice as much on coupons!' "
She ponders that for a moment: "I guess I don't really need an $800 D&G suit, but for $200, it's such a good deal." Plus, Gradoville figures, she'll wear it someday.
How did we go from a society in which "coupon queens" were derided as cheapskates to one in which it's almost more of a black mark to pay full price?
"The first couple of times I used coupons, I felt weird," says Wes Vermillion, a civilian working for the Navy who keeps track of his purchases on an Excel spreadsheet, "but now it's so commonplace to use them."
Shannon Hayes, 24, says she can't remember the last time she paid retail for anything. "I don't see the price as really being the price," she says. "Everything is negotiable."
22% of daily-deal buyers never redeem the vouchers they've bought.
Hayes, who works in government affairs, has long been a savvy shopper. When she was ten years old and living in Memphis, she used Priceline.com to help her single mother with the food shopping. "I'd go to Priceline's grocery section and bid $1 for things like Tide or milk and then take the coupons to the store."
Today Hayes is a fan of Retailmenot.com, which helped her save on car services at Jiffy Lube: "It takes a little bit of work, but there's always a way to find what you want cheaper."
Says Larry Compeau, a professor of marketing at Clarkson University School of Business: "There is an age-old motivation by consumers to try and get a deal," he says. "It's intrinsic to our being."
Compeau, who earned his PhD at Virginia Tech, is an expert on consumers' use of and response to pricing. He believes it's now more socially acceptable to seek out a good deal: "As a result of the economy, consumers are starting to rethink the past 30 years. There is a strong grassroots movement toward frugality. Before, we placed emphasis on more and more and better and better. But in a recession, people are rethinking this."
People such as Crystal Barney-Harold. In 2006, the mother of three took a severance package from her job in telecommunications. "We had to make adjustments financially," she says. "But when you have children, you still want them to experience good things."
She discovered the world of coupons just this year: "I'm really grateful to these sites."
Barney-Harold, who also likes entering sweepstakes, religiously checks Certifikid. Over the summer, she used the site to buy a coupon package for the Chesapeake Beach Water Park. "When school is out, camps are costly, and my kids want to do something every day," she says. "These coupons allow me to do things with my kids I wouldn't be able to do on my own."
Another motivating factor, according to Compeau, is the group-buying mentality inherent in these deals. There's a certain safety in numbers and in being associated with like-minded shoppers.
"These Web sites become more compelling because more consumers are involved with social networking," says Compeau. "They feel they're part of something bigger."
And something important. With the way the deals are worded—there's usually a minimum number of takers an offer has to have before the offer becomes valid; some sites have countdown clocks ticking off the seconds left until the deal expires—consumers are also invested in the outcome. "Your participation is required or things won't work out well," says Compeau.
Often, he says, that sense of urgency is self-imposed: "Consumers can't stand to wait for the gratification that will come when they get their purchase. They think, 'My life will be better. I deserve this.' "
Cecily Hastings says coupons have definitely improved her life—especially her dating life. "I am pretty old-fashioned, and when I go out with a guy, I prefer that he pays," says Hastings, a 27-year-old congressional-relations manager at a DC think tank. "I find that happens 50 percent of the time. In the past, I would just sort of stew."
Hastings, who admits to going out more nights than she stays in, has learned that the way to a man's stomach is through group-buying sites: "When I encounter a guy who won't pay for a date, I've found I can wean him into paying for dates by initially suggesting places that I have gift certificates for and he can cover the difference. Eventually he gets used to it."
Coupons are serving as de facto tour guides for TaNisha Holmes. A recent transplant from Charleston, South Carolina, the 27-year-old lives in Southwest DC, works as an IT recruiter in Rockville, and has friends in McLean and Bethesda. She has coupons for all those Zip codes. "Coupons helped me learn the city," says Holmes, who has lived in DC for a year. "My one friend told me I already seem like a real Washingtonian."
A real organized Washingtonian. Holmes keeps her coupons—she figures that at one point she had as many as 45 active ones—in a binder. She uses tabs to designate categories such as restaurants, fitness, and spas. Holmes has memorized her system: "I know that the third tab back is for manis and pedis."
She says that the social aspect of coupons—getting her out and getting her seen—is a big part of their appeal, because she'd eventually like to work in arts management. "It's an opportunity to live the life," she says. It's one reason she bought a $239 Groupon for a night's stay at the Gaylord National hotel. But the Groupon expired before she could use it.
Is there something in it for the businesses?

Due to "international travel complications," Annie Clark -- aka indie-rock heroine St. Vincent -- won't be able to make Friday night's "Wits" taping at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul. The news coincidentally arrived just after word spread of Clark's upcoming tour with David Byrne, the first date of which will be Sept. 15 at the State Theatre. Stay tuned for ticket info.
Tomorrow night's "Wits" will go on as planned, with not one but two singers showing up last-minute to fill in for Clark: Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum and Steven Page, formerly of Barenaked Ladies. The show's other main co-star, comedian Bobcat Goldthwait, will also still go on as planned.
Fresh from a First Avenue performance just last month, Clark made an album with Byrne that will arrive Sept. 11. Titled "Love This Giant," the two slender, provocotive art-rockers from different eras recorded together with help from Clark's fellow Texas native John Congleton (producer for Modest Mouse, St. Vincent, Astronautalis) and members of Sharon Jones' Dap-Kings and the Budos Band. Pitchfork.com has a little more info on the record.
Byrne's last album, 2008's "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today," was also a collaborative project with Brian Eno. His last time in the Twin Cities was also in '08, also at the State. He should follow Clark's lead and come here more often, expecially considering their shared fondness for Walker Art Center (St. Vincent played there last October, also a tour kick-off; Byrne helped stage "The Knee Plays" there in 1984 and returned to perform at Rock the Garden in 2004).

Fighting fatigue
From U.S. Coast Guard reports
One late April evening a skipper and his lone crewman prepared their 44-foot, wooden hulled fishing vessel for a salmon fishing trip off the California coast. During the 58-year-old boat's transit south, steering problems emerged.
The veteran skipper maneuvered his vessel into a sheltered cove to make repairs. They replaced the vessel's broken steering chain and departed, planning to steam south until they reached another small port to top-off on fuel. Then they would begin fishing as they headed to their favorite fishing grounds.
But during the 50-mile trip to the next fueling port, the vessel's steering began acting up again. The two men decided to push on to their next port and reassess the situation dockside.
Upon reaching the fuel dock at around 1 p.m. on their second day at sea, the skipper went below deck to find and fix the steering problem while the crewman filled the two 750-gallon fuel tanks.
After making some minor linkage adjustments that corrected the steering problem, the skipper then helped the crewman load a few more necessary supplies for their journey. At approximately 6:30 p.m., they eased the boat away from the dock.
Although eager to start fishing, both men began feeling fatigued from the past days' events. They agreed that the skipper would stand the first watch; the crewman would relieve him around midnight.
In the pilothouse, the skipper began searching his chart plotter for the area he planned on fishing first. He then compiled a list of GPS coordinates where he had found good fishing in the past and headed the vessel toward his first southerly waypoint.
With fatigue setting in, the skipper programmed the vessel's autopilot to maintain the boat's southerly course and keep them 12 nautical miles off the coast. He then kicked back in his captain's chair, peering off into the darkness.
About an hour after midnight the men awoke to a grinding noise followed by a sudden, jarring shot that reverberated through the vessel's keel. The startled crewman found the skipper in the pilothouse looking through the forward windshield.
The boat was firmly resting on the beach and beginning slowly list to port. The skipper tried backing the vessel out, but each cresting swell pushed it further up onto the shore.
Concluding they were no longer safe aboard, both men abandoned ship by hopping over the lee rail and walking ashore.
Mother Ocean quickly claimed the boat. The skipper and crewman could only stand by helplessly and watch the hull breaking apart just hours after the vessel ran aground.
At first light, the Coast Guard arrived. A response team was unable to remove the fuel from the boat, which was deemed a total loss.
Lessons learned
A subsequent investigation determined that extreme fatigue caused the skipper to fall asleep at the helm and that the autopilot couldn't compensate for the set and drift caused by the tides, local currents and the prevailing winds.
Care must be taken when choosing the watch and combating fatigue. The skipper must assess the crew (and himself) and assign watches to those in the best physical and mental shape.
If the crew is large enough, two people should stand watch at all times to help keep each other alert and properly monitor the vessel's operation. Crew fatigue is a huge problem in today's commercial fishing industry and is one of the leading causes of injuries.
The fatigue problem is especially acute on smaller boats that are single-handed or have a very small crew. Luckily, in this instance, there were no fatalities. Stay alert and fish safe!

In this episode, Bruce Buls, WorkBoat's technical editor, interviews Long Island lobsterman John Aldridge, who survived for 12 hours after falling overboard in the dead of night. Aldridge was the keynote speaker at the 2014 Pacific Marine Expo, which took place Nov. 19-21 in Seattle.
NOAA, in consultation with the Department of the Interior, has appointed 10 new members to the Marine Protected Areas Federal Advisory Committee. The 20-member committee is composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experience who advise the departments of commerce and the interior on ways to strengthen and connect the nation's MPA programs. The new members join the 10 continuing members appointed in 2012.

Researchers found children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder need to fidget to focus, similar to the way adults drink caffeine to concentrate. The study showed the boys fidgeted during tasks that tested their "working memory," but sat still while watching a movie, when they did not need to concentrate.

Wonderful House and Great Location
This was a great house, great location, and great price. This house was big enough to hold 11 of us on our family vacation (4 adults and 7 kids) very comfortably. The location was great, only a few minutes drive to the lake and the market. The house was filled with kitchen cooking supplies, comfy couches, and comfy beds (very comfy beds). The sauna and hot tub were also an amazing ammenity that made our trip even more relaxing. I will definitely be recommending this rental house to my friends and family.
Perfect Cabin for Weeklong Getaway With Friends
Us: 4 couples (mid 20s-30s) looking for vacation rental close to slopes and casinos The cabin has it all! We visited during Christmas week and there was about a foot of snow on the ground. At that point in December 2013 one winter snow storm had come through. Kitchen is fully stocked with anything you would ever need to make a delicious meal! We even used the crock pot for our Christmas roast! Plenty of space to hang around downstairs. In total, the cabin has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms upstairs is a bunk room and has a full-sized bunk bed with a twin bunk on the top. As well as 3 additional twin beds in the room (2 of which can be pushed together to make a king if you wanted to). The other 3 bedrooms each have either a queen or king I believe. The hot tub was perfect and very hot! It was so awesome to get home from a day of skiing and relax in it :-) We were able to bring our dog, which was really wonderful us. There is even a dog-run rope/line outside to tie up your pup so they can play outside but not run away! The house is about 20 minutes from Heavenly Ski Area and 20 minutes from Sierra at Tahoe. It is in a nice neighborhood that backs up to a large open field. Our group hiked through the field and up a nearby hill and sledded down the hill. Some actually snowboarded, then hiked back up the hill for some fun and cheap snow adventures. The property itself is well maintained and smelled very clean when we got there. There was plenty of firewood and the fireplace works very well. Chuck was very responsive to our initial inquiry and answered any questions we had before we booked our vacation. The home is within walking distance to a corner store with a large beer selection as well as other smaller establishments. Within about 5 minutes is a large grocery store, pizza, etc. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a vacation in South Tahoe. The house is fully stocked, warm and cozy, and close to attractions without being extremely expensive. Perfect for a big group of friends or families with kids.
Extrememly roomy!
This cabin was SO roomy and spacious! We had 7 people and a dog, and the cabin still had room to spare! It was also conveniently located to many attractions such as a park where you can take your dog, the lake, and the casinoes. Excellent cabin for the prices! We'll definitely be staying here again in the future!

Fit-and-Flare Ponte Skirt 6 6
Flattering skirt Nice fit, I had to exchange for bigger size than true fit suggested for me. Looks beautiful with boots and the Adirondack coat. Would be a good value on the sale of the day. Winter is not about pencil skirt only! December 9, 2014
A must for your wardrobe Great material. You can wear this skirt all year. The length is perfect. So many possibilities with a navy skirt. November 29, 2014
very disappointed I am a small person and the way this skirt balloons out at the waist makes me look huge...was hoping it would be short and cute..now have to spend money to get it returned because exchanging it will not serve a purpose November 15, 2014
Love this skirt! Very versatile. Great for work or date night. November 13, 2014
Great Drape The fabric has a nice heft and great drape. The cut is excellent with a nice swing. September 21, 2014
Comically Flared The skirt doesn't look that flared in the modeled photos but looked like a little clown costume on me--very short and very flared. Not flattering at all. August 22, 2014

Congrats to them!

Thats pretty cool! :)

Firefighters plan benefit for Sullivan chief
The dance is planned to take place at the American Legion, 797 Court St., Keene, from noon to 6 p.m.
Henry has been on medical leave for almost two years, said Sullivan Fire Lt. Rick Plankey, who organized the event.
Initially unexplained intestinal pain was the cause and led to surgery.
He was expected to return to work recently when he had to undergo open heart surgery, Plankey said.
"He's had a rough time of it and the bills are starting to pile up so I decided to get together with all the guys and do a benefit for him," Plankey said.
Henry has been with the department about 25 years and has been chief for more than 10 years.The department is hoping he will be able to return after he recovers from heart surgery, Plankey said.
"He hasn't had very good luck the past couple of years, but he looks a lot better," Plankey said.
Admission to the dance is $10 and includes food. A Sullivan musician is bringing his band to play and will DJ in-between the live sets.
Local businesses have chipped in with raffle prizes, including Discount Oil of Keene which has given 125 gallons of oil. A week's stay at a hunting lodge in Maine is also being raffled off.
There are gift cards up for raffle from Hannaford, Target, Cheshire Village Pizza, Papagallos, Tire Warehouse and Cheshire Tire.
"Everybody's welcome to come and we look forward to a nice big crowd," Plankey said "The more money we can raise for him the better it will be for him. It's open to everybody, whoever wants to come."

Patients on the Picket Line
By Ben Comer | Published: February 5, 2013
Good science can't be rushed, even when the lives of patients hang in the balance. But regulatory science, and its relationship to a drug's commercial success or failure, can inadvertently block access to individual patients in their hour of need.

In a comprehensive overview of the discovery of graphene, a material derived from graphite, The New Yorker's John Colapinto details how this newly understood substance may transform computers, cell phones, and cancer treatments.
By creating high-paying jobs and providing the raw materials essential to manufacturing, minerals mining helps stimulate economic recovery.
The U.S. minerals mining industry supports more than 1.2 million jobs. A U.S. metal mining job is one of the highest paying in the private sector, with an average salary annually salary more than $85,000 and often climbing into the six figures for experienced workers.
Prospects for those entering the field today are bright. Technological and advanced practices helped to make mining jobs continually safer for workers, and mining is one of a handful of sectors that creates jobs at a fairly consistent rate over the next 20 years, adding between 11,000 and 13,000 jobs per year.
It is estimated that every metal mining job generates 2.5 additional jobs elsewhere in the economy, and every nonmetal mining job generates 1.8 additional jobs. With 416,000 Americans directly employed through minerals mining today and another 798,000 indirectly employed, the industry is putting hundreds of thousands of people with diverse backgrounds and interest to work.In addition to jobs, raw materials provided by U.S. mines also boost the economy. In 2012, U.S. mines produced mineral raw materials worth $76.5 billion—an increase from 2011. These domestic raw materials—plus recycled materials—were used to process mineral materials such as aluminum, copper and steel worth $704 billion. Industries including technology, manufacturing, construction and automotive transform these minerals into the infrastructure and products we use every day, and they have added more than $2 trillion to the U.S. economy, which is more than 12 percent of GDP in 2012.
By creating jobs and providing essential materials, mining is emerging as an important partner in stimulating economic recovery.

Hersha Hospitality Trust Announces New Senior Unsecured Credit Facility Of $400 Million Expandable To $550 Million
Hersha Hospitality Trust (NYSE: HT) (the "Company"), owner of upscale hotels in urban gateway markets, today announced that its operating partnership, Hersha Hospitality Limited Partnership (the "Borrower"), has received commitments for a new $400 million senior unsecured credit facility that is expandable to $550 million at the Borrower's request (the "Facility"). The Facility will consist of a senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility") in an initial amount of $250 million and a senior unsecured term loan (the "Term Loan") in a principal amount of up to $150 million. The Facility will replace the Company's $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility. It is expected to close, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, within the next 30 days.
The Revolving Credit Facility will be unsecured and will mature three years from the closing date. The Borrower will have the right to extend the lenders' commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility for an additional one-year period, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The interest rate for the new credit Facility will be based on a pricing grid with a range of 175 to 265 basis points over LIBOR, based on the Company's leverage ratio for an all-in rate, inclusive of swaps, of 2.60% to 3.50%.
"We are encouraged by our ability to access the debt capital markets and the support of our bank group. The new Facility will meaningfully strengthen our balance sheet and provide us with greater financial flexibility," commented Ashish R. Parikh, Chief Financial Officer. "This transaction will significantly reduce our weighted average cost of debt and enhance our liquidity position by over half a billion dollars. By eliminating the floor pricing on our existing secured credit facility and refinancing existing mortgage debt with the new Term Loan, we estimate a reduction of interest expense of approximately $2.5 million on an annual basis. Furthermore, our access to unsecured debt financing will reduce our reliance on the secured debt markets, further validating the quality of our portfolio and the conservative balance sheet strategy we have undertaken."

Chances are, you know someone with celiac disease. What you may not understand is how it affects him or her on a daily basis.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that is triggered by eating gluten, which often means having to eliminate traditional bread, pasta and baked goods.
Finding food without gluten that tastes good is a challenge for those with celiac disease, and it was the impetus for Milwaukee entrepreneurs Casey Lanto and Ryan Konicek to create a startup known as Pairdd. (www.pairdd.com)
Pairdd combines easy-to-make recipes with gluten-free ingredients and ships them via free overnight shipping right to customers' doors – anywhere in Wisconsin. Each shipment includes the gluten-free ingredients (even seasonings) needed to prepare a meal in 30 to 40 minutes.
Ingredients are pre-measured and labeled.
Prices vary depending on recipe and number of servings. Past recipes have included Walnut Crusted Salmon, Fried Chicken and Brussels Sprouts, and Arugula and Goat Cheese Flatbread.
"We take the hassle out of gluten-free meal preparation by identifying taste-tested recipes, providing step-by-step instructions for how to prepare delicious gluten-free meals in your own kitchen, and making sure you have the right ingredients by doing the grocery shopping for you," Lanto said. "It's more convenient and affordable than if customers had to buy all the ingredients."
Customers say that not only does Pairdd eliminate the hassle of shopping for reasonably priced gluten-free ingredients, but they've learned a lot about how to successfully cook other dishes gluten-free.
"I haven't missed a week," says Julie Corbin, a customer from Lannon, Wis. "The produce is washed, the ingredients measured, and much of the prep work is done. It's so convenient! I was shocked to find that I could make a delicious gluten-free meal in such a short time."
The name Pairdd was chosen because each box "pairs" recipes and ingredients.
If you would like to find out more about celiac disease during May, which is Celiac Awareness Month, check out the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness at www.celiaccentral.org.

SECU Youth Saved $3.15 Million During Challenge Week!
SECU Youth Saved $3.15 Million During Challenge Week!
As part of National Credit Union Youth Week and North Carolina's Financial Literacy Month, State Employees' Credit Union (SECU) held its annual Youth Saving Challenge April 22nd – April 26th to encourage young members to take advantage of the benefit of saving! With a theme of "Stache your cash!," SECU challenged the Credit Union's young FAT CAT and teen Zard members to "stache" a deposit into their share account during Youth Week. Participating account holders were automatically entered into a random drawing for a Nook HD Tablet, with one FAT CAT and one Zard winner. Staff in SECU's 248 branches creatively promoted the campaign with eye-catching displays. SECU staff also took the time to visit local schools and teach financial education concepts. The Challenge results? SECU opened 612 new youth accounts and over 17,300 youth deposited $3.15 million throughout the week!

Kevin Watson, Senior Vice President of SECU's Dunn branch comments, "The Youth Saving Challenge event is a great way to communicate and motivate young children to learn about the importance of saving. The branch employees and FAT CAT, our youth mascot, have fun promoting the branch event with SECU's young members and their families and enjoy sharing the knowledge of basic money concepts through local school and community presentations."
About SECU
