Like tech stocks in the late 1990s, bonds just keep getting better.
Risk-averse institutional investors and yield-hungry individuals, who seemingly have nowhere else to go, are pouring money into bonds and paying no attention to stocks, said Milwaukee money manager Ignatius L. Smetek.
"The benefits of stocks are being ignored because people are worried about what happened two years ago," said Smetek, president and chief investment officer at Arcataur Capital Management LLC.
Yet companies, banks and individuals - everyone but the government - are getting rid of debt. Deferred purchasing is stoking pent-up demand. Interest rates have fallen and corporate earnings have been good.
Sure, stocks might remain volatile for another 12 months or so, Smetek said. But budding merger-and-acquisition activity, stock buyback programs and dividend increases should help offset the market swoons that often occur in September and October. Still, there's nervousness about the coming mid-term elections, whose outcomes are likely to affect the mood of investors.
Investors also are worried about deflation after wringing their hands over the possibility of inflation just six months ago, Smetek said.
Looking past shorter-term volatility, however, he sees more potential in stocks than in bonds.
"I look at the fundamentals and valuations and say, 'If I can look out a year's time, stocks in general are undervalued and fixed-income securities, especially long-dated ones, are carrying some risk,' " Smetek said.
Job growth is the catalyst the stock market needs, he said, but employment probably won't improve meaningfully until the first quarter of 2011. So now may be the time to seek out some of the opportunities.
Technology companies such as Apple Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Corp. have some of the strongest balance sheets, with high cash levels and little debt. Higher-quality financial firms like JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. are well-positioned, Smetek said.
Economically sensitive companies with attractive valuations also are expected to benefit from an improving economy, he said.
Ford Motor Co. (F, $11.79), Dearborn, Mich., has survived without a government subsidy.
Smetek said he hasn't bought an automaker's stock in a decade, but Ford is paying down its debt with cash flow and has benefited from competitors' troubles by getting similar reductions in labor and other costs. Ford shares have a 52-week range of $14.57 to $6.61.
Dow Chemical Co. (DOW, $25.99), Midland, Mich., has transformed itself into more of a value-added, and less of a commodity-oriented, company. Dow has strengthened its balance sheet through shrewd moves that prepared it for the next economic upturn, Smetek said. Its shares have a 52-week range of $32.05 to $21.84.
The biggest risk Smetek associates with Ford and Dow is the possibility the economy could fall back into recession, or that it could grow so slowly there's no meaningful improvement for a long time.
Barring that, both stocks could return as much as 25% in the next 12 months, and potentially double over the next three years, he said.

there is a way to change the sequence by overriding the default "order" in which WordPress displays posts. So, oldest products will be displayed when you add the following code at the end of your child themes functions.php (but before the closing ?> if any):
function my_products_order( $query ) { $post_type = $query->get( 'post_type' ); if ( !is_admin() && $post_type == 'it_exchange_prod' ) { $query->set( 'order', 'asc' ); } } add_filter( 'pre_get_posts' , 'my_products_order' );
that should do the trick,

Beautiful Trees by our Hotel
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, PLEASE Let it snow!!!
I'm not sure if people back in the states hear as much about global warming as we have in the past 3-5 weeks but let me elucidate quickly on why we have been hearing as much as we have. Germany, Austria and Switzerland have gone for quite a long period without any moisture at all. No rain, no snow, nothing! This has turned out great for us as we have traveled during a (usually) notoriously rainy nasty period of winter without a drop of rain.
The bad part of this is that ski resorts throughout the area have been having real bad times. No cold + no snow equals no skiing. No skiing equals no tourists and little money coming to resorts during one of the biggest tourist seasons of the year. Enough education for right now, you'll hear more about this in a minute.
Driving to Kitzbuhel
We had really wanted to ski while in the Alps but had little idea of the right place. There are some very famous ski resorts in Europe but many of them are very expensive. Kel
Swan in Lake
started doing research and came across a place that got great user reviews and wasn't that expensive in Kitzbuhel which is directly between Innsbruck and Salzburg in Austria. Considering we just finished New Years in Salzburg this seemed like a great idea.
As we approached the days we would be staying in Kitzbuhel, a place known for skiing and little else, we were getting nervous. The snow reports were not pretty. The conditions of the snow in Kitzbuhl were not looking good and the prospect for rain was high. As we all know, rain is the death of any snow. Based on the weather report it was supposed to rain all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland from January 1st through January 10th. Not Good!!!
As we left Salzburg on the morning of the 2nd there was a light rain in the area which wasn't too bad. Due to the decent conditions and relatively short distance we once again took back roads through the mountains to see some of Austria's beauty.
15 minutes outside of Salzburg we took a few turns and were on Austrian back roads and the rain had turned to snow. The outlook was looking
Hot Chocolate and Whip Cream Noses
up; maybe we would be able to ski!
Due the large amount of snow falling and the fact that many people's vacations were ending the roads were slow going. What was supposed to be hour long trip became a two and a half hour stop and go trip - miserable! Driving a stick in snow and stop and go traffic is less than fun!
Arrival at the Alpen Hotel
Finally we arrived at the hotel. It is a beautiful place in the snow as the pictures attempt to show you. With frost covered trees and a frozen lake the site is breath taking. We parked and had to get some lunch while we waited for our room to be cleaned.
While waiting we went down by the lake which was frozen solid. People were curling on the lake and there were tons of locals around the lake with their dogs. We stood and gawked for a few minutes at the hubbub going on around us. Kids making snow men, dogs chasing each other and sliding on the ice, ice skaters, and curling made for a wild sight.
After lunch we walked around the
Views from our Porch
lake and took some pictures. The walk around takes about an hour at our pace but it was an hour well spent enjoying the beauty of nature. We found one section of the lake that wasn't frozen that was occupied by a swan. The usually stark white swan looked kind of gray in contrast with the newly falling snow. It was fishing for things to eat under the water, but was beautiful in a way that is particular to swans, very graceful and lithe.
How do you say spanked in Italian?
After a rest we went and got the dinner buffet for dinner and then decided to play some games prior to going to bed. We acquired the ping-pong paddles and a ball and headed to the basement for some ping-pong action. After a game or town we were joined by an Italian family who seemed to really want to play. Kel and I decided to be nice and ask them if they wanted to switch back and forth with us playing one game and them playing the next and so forth.
Instead they seemed to want to challenge the crazy Americans who were occupying the
Church in Reith
Church by the Ski School
room. They didn't speak English and we obviously don't speak Italian so it was all very interesting - they were really nice so we all laughed together a lot, the true international language. I'm a pretty decent ping-pong player and haven't been beaten too many times in the recent future. I was expecting (and Kel was too) for me to hold my own but instead I got destroyed. Out of three games I lost all three handily. I was ready to give the table to them when they decided to leave and let Kel and I play again. At this point I was drained of all energy and was ready to head to bed so after a few more quick games we hit the sack.
Ski School
I arose excited as today was going to be the first day I had ever skied. I counteracted my excitement with a façade of coolness and went to breakfast with Kel. After a thorough breakfast we drove to rent our skis and then head to ski school.
All of the groups were full so we had to get a private lesson which was surprisingly reasonably priced but had
Sign on Our Dinner Table
to wait until 1:30 for the lesson. To bide our time, Kel showed me a few things on the skis and we went down a very small hill a couple of times but grew tired of the crowd so went and got lunch in the area.
Upon our return we met up with our new instructor Aloise who's in his late fifties or early sixties and incredibly friendly. Aloise led us to the small practice hill and started with the snow plow, and then started teaching us to turn. He was incredibly patient with us and led us up and down the small hill about four times. It was great having hands on instruction. He would show us something and then watch us do it and give us constant feedback.
Then we went up the bigger hill. Here we started doing more turns and a bit of follow the leader down the hill. Kel and I were both really getting the hang of things at this point. Kel had skied a bunch of times before but still learned a thing or two from Aloise which made me happy because I didn't have to worry about wasting her time
Kel outside the Hotel
with instruction she's maybe already had.
Kel decided to take a break which gave me some one on one time with Aloise. I got a chance to dig into his past and find out a little bit about our intrepid ski instructor. Turns out the he has a graduate degree in economics and was a CFO of a construction company in Berlin. He later became finance minister in Germany where he got a chance to meet some cool people. He told me about a time he went skiing with Jimmy Carter in the 70's. He said that skiing with the Secret Service was wild and a felt a little over bearing. You never know who you're going to meet in your travels, just another fun person to add to the already group of people we've met.
This run down the hill, Aloise picked up the pace and we really got to do some quicker and tighter turns. We were still snow plowing a lot but it made me really happy to have excelled as far as I had in two hours.
Kel joined us the final run up the hill. We were using a T lift that
Mike Sliding Face First on the Lake
can take one or two people up the hill at a time. The T section sits behind your behind and pulls you up the hill on your skis. It feels a little strange but as long as you stand up straight you are usually ok. During this ride up the hill, I went first on my own T and Aloise and Kel went on the next T side by side.
I was supposed to meet them at the top of the hill where I would go first down the hill while Aloise and Kel would follow. I made it to the top with no problem but turned around to find Kel and Aloise about half way down the hill waving up at me. I figured they wouldn't be making it up to join me so I skied down to meet them. There I found out that Kel had managed to fall off the lift and pitch Aloise off with her. Aloise could do nothing but laugh about it because it was the first time in 20 years that he had fallen off a lift. Leave it to Kel to give someone a new experience!!
Kel's Input: this was
Mikey's Snow Angel
truly a hilarious moment! Poor Aloise was so confused about how both of us managed to be in an easy conversation one moment and the next minute we're a big pile of skis and boots and poles. He kept trying to find out "why?" it happened - did the skis just fall off me? Was there a hole in the ground or something? He said to Mike "I just looked down and she had no skis on . . ." Oops. To add insult to his injury, one of the other instructors came up past us on the next T and definitely gave him a hard time about how he's making his students fall off the lift instead of keeping them safely on it. I still giggle a little bit thinking about it - funniness.
We headed back down the hill where we parted ways. Aloise talked us into coming back tomorrow so, if his scheduled appointment fails to show then we will be learning more from him. Next stop expert skiing land!! 😊
Hope you are all doing well! We are doing wonderfully and only a little sore from Kel's one fall and my three falls!!

Mike and Kel, It sounds like you guys had a great day on the slopes at Kitzbuhel. Both of you really wear your whipped cream well. There's nothing like hot chocolate after being outside in winter weather. Kel, you did a great job of taking out your ski instructor. It sounds like when you get back you should start taking martial arts training with Mike as your teacher.

Re: Official RAGE Feedback Thread
I "upgraded" to the latest beta Nvidia drivers last night and what a huge let down. There is texture flickering all over the place when I was in the dead city. It looked like the flashing you'd see if there were items to pickup in that area. I am going back to the WHQL drivers cause that flickering is absolutely unacceptable to me. I think the beta drivers are broken for Rage, the performance feels a bit better on the beta drivers than the WHQL but I'd rather have no flickering textures when I play than a few extra fps.

This and other CeraVe products have truly saved my face. I was red, irritated, combo skinned and broke out all the time before I incorporated these products into my routine. I use the hydrating wash in the morning, and use this in the evening. I remove most my makeup and sunscreen with Albolene and then follow with two pumps of this, which I feel breaks down the rest better than the hydrating wash. My skin is clean but not stripped or irritated. No fragrance or dyes, and good additives like ceramides. The price is good considering it lasts several months, and the packaging is great. My skin barrier really has improved tremendously, and my skin is closer to normal than it has ever been. No breakouts, either. Have repurchased and will continue to do so.

I have used several cleansers over the years (usually ones by Olay, Neutrogena, and Aveeno) and have been pretty happy with them. But now that I have tried this Cerave cleanser...I will never go back to those awful cleansers. In comparison, they seem to be extremely drying, irritating, stripping, and full of nasty chemicals and dyes and scents that my face just doesn't need.
This cleanser is my "HG" now. It is truly amazing. It's incredibly gentle...no burning or stinging on my skin (or my eyes, if it happens to get in them). And afterwards my face doesn't feel dry and tight and dying for moisturizer. You can feel that this cleanser really doesn't break down your skin's natural barrier.
Since using this cleanser, my skin has never been more glowing, well-moisturized, and break out free. I feel like if everyone used this cleanser, we would all have healthier skin!
As a disclaimer...I don't really wear a lot of make up so I am not sure how well this removes make up. Sometimes it doesn't get my waterproof mascara off too well, and when that happens, I simply use a little coconut oil on my eyes to dissolve everything.

I've used so many daily facial cleansers, its ridiculous!
This one actually works, doesn't dry out skin, leaves your skin soft, clean, and glowing. It's weird that a cleanser can leave your skin feeling so clean without any drying/tightness! It slightly foams/lathers nothing crazy and has no lingering smells.
This does not irritate skin at all and can be used often. This is a HG(holy grail) product for sensitive skin or anyone for that matter!

This is a great cleanser. Sure, it may be simple, but what more do you really want from a cleanser? I have acne prone, oily, sensitive skin and this gets me clean without that stripped, parched feeling. It lathers adequately, has no discernible smell other than "cleanser," and it doesn't have any irritating ingredients. It's a generous size with a sturdy pump, and it doesn't exacerbate my acne. I like that Paula has given this her "best of," rating, I feel like although this cleanser may not be doing anything super special for my skin, it's also not hurting it either.
I remove my makeup with an oil cleanser first so I can't say how great this is at removing makeup, but it does seem to do well getting off the last bits of it.
All in all a good buy. Don't expect it to change your life, but I'm not sure any cleanser really can.
Edited to add another lippie. I've been using it for four months and I don't think I'll buy another cleanser. When I'm breaking out, or super sensitive or extremely dry, this cleanser always helps calm my skin. All I can say is, BUY IT.

I have combination skin yet acne prone. This cleanser does not make me break out. It also produces a nice lather that doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped of all moisture like most foaming cleansers do. My face clean and refreshed after using this. My dry patches have improved while using this also.

Just average, nothing special. For being a 'foaming' facial cleanser I don't think it really lathers that well. Don't rely on this to remove your makeup. I only wear powder foundation and concealer and this has a tough time even getting that off. The bottle is not shower friendly either. It's big and bulky, tricky to hold and pump out and the label will peel off if you get it wet. Anyway, it's alright but it's not HG worthy.

I have been using this product for about three months now and it wasn't until this past month that I realized how wonderful it is. I have acne prone, oily skin that was also becoming increasingly red. I am a product junkie and am constantly trying new products with the disillusioned belief that maybe one will magically give me a baby face. During my teenage years, I would get these horrible cysts that were filled with blood and all blue. The pill has helped to clear those up, but regular breakups are still an issue.
I started using this cleanser and mixing it with tea tree oil and lavender. I was also mixing tea tree oil into my moisturiser. While my skin was clearing up, I was getting more and more red. Fast forward to a month ago when I smeared straight Tamanu oil on my face (please, don't ever do this) and experienced a horrible bout of contact dermatitis. To give you a frame of reference, I once accidentally put nail polish remover on my face instead of toner and nothing bad happened- my skin was pretty hard core. It took about two weeks to heal and I couldn't use anything on my face during that time because I would become very itchy and bright red. It started to heal so I tried to spot treat with tea tree again and I had a second (even worse) bout of contact dermatitis. Now that I am healed, I have gone back to this cleanser and I can see how wonderful it is on my newly horribly sensitive skin. I tried Aveeno Calming Cleanser and Avene cold cream cleansing bar and they both made my face feel red and tight.
This cleanser does not irritate my skin and has calmed down the redness significantly. I also didn't break out during the typical weeks of my cycle that I do. Normally when I wash my face, it looks red or tight or oily after, but with this cleasner it looks exactly the same as it did before cleansing (which is a good thing).
I have learned that gentle is the way to go and am now trying to make up for 12 years of using harsh products on my skin. I haven't been able to wear foundation or cover up because of my reactions, so I have also gone down to washing my face every second day in the evening ONLY just to wash off the grime. I spray it with Avene Thermal water, wash with this cleanser and follow with Avene skin recovery cream. This new routine has balanced my skin out and my oiliness has decreased noticeably. This cleanser works so well that on my non wash days, my face doesn't feel dirty, gritty, greasy or anything. It looks plump and even toned. You only need a pea sized amount of this cleasner if you are not using it to remove make up, so it will last a long time. When I do wear make up, I start with Pre Cleanse from Dermalogica or just jump straight to this cleanser and follow up with a toner (usually Witch Hazel).
I know for some of you, the thought of only washing your oily/acne prone skin once a day, never mind just once every two days is a scary thought, but it has really benefited my skin that I have destroyed by constantly switching from one harsh thing to another. This cleanser has given me the most clear and even toned skin that I have since I was 12 (I am now 26). I used to have to redo my long wear foundation at lunch because the oil in my skin would break it down too quickly. but I would consider my oil production now to be about average.
This has been the best cleanser that I have found for my newly sensitized skin and I recommend anyone with oily skin to give it a try!

I love this cleanser - it's mild and removes any last traces of make-up without irritating my skin. I usually use mineral oil to remove make-up, then remove it with a warm wet cloth, and finally use a mild cleanser to remove traces of oil. I tried CeraVe's Hydrating Cleanser but for some reason it always stung my skin. The Foaming Cleanser doesn't do this so I've been using it instead. On days I don't wear any make-up I use it alone and it's one of the few cleansers that doesn't leave my skin tight and dry. It also doesn't break me out, rinses clean and I love the pump (vs a squeeze tube - not so great when your hands are wet).
It's a great price, you get a lot of product (12 fl oz) and it lasts forever! Highly recommend for sensitive combo or oilier skin types.

The absolute best cleanser I've ever used! I credit this product, combined with mineral oil for initial makeup removal, for clearing up my skin. Your skin feels refreshed and clean after using without feeling tight. Plus, my skin loves the ceramides and niaminicide. After years of switching from acne cleanser to acne cleanser, I see no reason to ever stop using CeraVe Foaming.

So I'm trying to learn python on my own, and am doing coding puzzles. I came across one that pretty much ask for the best position to stand in line to win a contest. The person running the contest gets rid of people standing in odd number positions.
So for example if 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
It would get rid of the odd positions leaving 2, 4
Would get rid of the remaining odd positions leaving 4 as the winner.
When I'm debugging the code seems to be working, but it's returning
[1,2,3,4,5] instead of the expected
Here is my code:
def findWinner(contestants):
if (len(contestants) != 1):
remainingContestants = []
for i, contestant in enumerate(contestants, 1):
if (isEven(i)):
return contestants
Am I not seeing a logic error or is there something else that I'm not seeing?

In Game 2 of their best of seven series the Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warrior certainly put on a scoring clinic (or a how not to play defense clinic--take your pick). When you have a game that has a combined 248 points scored you are bound to have some incredible plays. Like these two dunks by Golden State's Harrison Barnes and Denver's Andre Iguodala. Normally what I would do is post one to my Day in Dunking post, but I can't decide which one I think is better. So I thought I'd ask you guys. What do you think Sports Fans? Who had the better dunk last night between these two? Andre Iguodala or Harrison Barnes?

Originally written on Philly Sports Muse | Last updated 7/13/12
Philadelphia Eagles running back Dion Lewis and his brother Lamar were arrested in Albany, New York last weekend for pulling a fire alarm at a Hampton Inn. As details emerge, there are conflicting stories from the Lewis' and management of the hotel. Video of the incident will be a key component of the case, and the Lewis camp believes it will vindicate both brothers. Unfortunately, hotel manager Todd Reichelt believes it will support the claims of his security guard present the night of the incident. Lamar and Dion Lewis left the Hampton Inn without their hotel keys for a night of drinking on the town last Saturday. When they returned at 4:30 am, they found the hotel lobby locked. The brothers banged on the door loudly to get the attention of a security guard and finally pulled the property's fire alarm. The hotel says that the guard didn't not open the door because the Lewis brothers were behaving belligerently and that he saw Lamar Lewis with a pocket knife. The Lewis' were charg...

Employees at Skaneateles Falls' Honeywell Imaging and Mobility manufacturing facility received somber news last Thursday, Aug. 7 that close to 300 jobs will be phased out to China beginning in October.
According to Kevin Jost, vice president of security strategy, the company acquired Metrologic Instruments, Inc. in July. Honeywell had previously purchased Hand Held Products in December 2007. Jost said the company now expects to transition the manufacturing portion of the business to China within the next year.
"It was through various input we arrived at the conclusion that we could not remain a competitor," Jost said.
Because of the facility's inability to remain competitive and the decision to move jobs overseas, Jost said within the next nine to 12 months 290 people will be losing their jobs. The ultimate decision is "really everything to do with globalization," he said.
"This is obviously very, very difficult for us. This is not an action we have ever had to take," said Jost, himself a 36-year employee with the company.
Former town of Skaneateles supervisor Bill Pavlus said the manufacturer "seemed to be doing plenty of business" and often the facility runs shifts on weekends to meet the demands of the consumer.
"To meet production they would have to work overtime, work Saturday," he said.
Pavlus said he was in office when Hand Held Products separated from its parent company, Welch Allyn, and also when Visions Drive was put in to accommodate the facility. The town was also responsible for obtaining $350,000 in funding from Rep. James Walsh to replace the water lines from the reservoir to Mottville, reducing the number of water main breaks that occur, Pavlus said.
Despite the work Pavlus put into helping the facility as a town leader, the closure hits extremely close to home. Mike Crary, Pavlus' son-in-law, received word along with many of his coworkers he would be without a job within a year.

A local nuclear group will be treated to an update on liquid waste progress during its monthly breakfast on Wednesday.
The Citizens for Nuclear Technology Awareness, or CNTA, will have its monthly Up and Atom Breakfast on Wednesday beginning at 7:30 a.m. The breakfast will be held at Newberry Hall, located at 117 Newberry St.
The group will hear the progress report from Stuart MacVean, president and project manager of Savannah River Remediation, the Savannah River Sites liquid waste contractor.
CNTA Executive Director Clint Wolfe said members have let him know repeatedly that they value frequent updates on activities at the SRS.
I am sure that, although the content of his remarks is entirely of his own choosing, he will recount the accomplishments of the liquid waste mission at the site and what the future holds in light of budget constraints, Wolfe said.
In addition to updates, several of the contractors summer interns are expected to attend, which Wolfe also views as a plus.
This is especially important to our organization as we value our role in providing public education initiatives, including special education workshops for school teachers and interns, he added.
The cost to attend is $15 and can be paid at the door or before the event. Reservations can be made via email at email@example.com or by calling 803-649-3456. Reservations must be made by Monday at noon.

YouTube Videos - Shell to Sea Resists Shell's Attempt to Move Tunnel Boring Machine to Rossport 31-7-2012
Despite a mammoth security operation mounted by hundreds of Gardai and IRMS security to facilitate the transportation of a Shell tunnel boring machine from Dublin Port to Aghoos, Co Mayo. Shell to Sea activists managed to delay the convoy with three actions on its route; two lock-ons and the blocking of Bellacorrick bridge with a van. The convoy included four lorries transporting specialist tunnelling equipment bound for the Sruwaddacon estuary where one of the longest raw gas subsea tunnels in western Europe will be built to link the pipeline to the inland refinery at Bellanaboy. The TBM is 140m long and weighs almost 500 tonnes. It was built in Schwanau in Germany by Herrenknecht. The TBM is comprised of 14 sections. The front part contains the 28-tonne cutter head which will drill under Sruwaddacon Bay next year. The cutter head consists of 21 14" cutter discs, 32 scrapers and six buckets and requires two 400kw motors to turn it.http://www.indymedia.ie/article/102208

Please find your test in the tabs below to learn more about the procedure and preparations related to your exam.
Patient should not have anything to eat or drink for 4 hours prior to exam. Patients should arrive 2 hours prior to exam and will receive Contrast to drink over the 2 hour wait time.
Before the MRI procedure, you will be asked to fill out a screening form asking about anything that might create a health risk or interfere with imaging. You will also undergo an interview by a member of the MRI facility to ensure that you understand the questions on the form. Even if you have undergone an MRI procedure before at this or another facility, you will still be asked to complete an MRI screening form. Examples of items or things that may create a health hazard or other problem during an MRI exam include:
Check with the MRI technologist at the MRI center if you have questions or concerns about any implanted object or health condition that could impact the MRI procedure. This is particularly important if you have undergone surgery involving the brain, ear, eye, heart, or blood vessels. Important Note: If you are pregnant or think that you could be pregnant, you must notify your physician and the radiologist or the MRI technologist at the MRI center prior to the MRI procedure.
There's no special preparation necessary. Continue to take any medication prescribed by your doctor unless otherwise directed. Patients over 60 or have history of kidney problems, hypertension, or diabetic will require a Creatinine level blood test results within the last 30 days.
You won't be allowed to wear anything metallic during the MRI examination, leave watches, jewelry or anything made from metal at home. Even some cosmetics contain small amounts of metals, so it is best to not wear make-up. In order to prevent metallic objects from being attracted by the powerful magnet of the MR system, you will typically receive a gown to wear during your examination. Items that need to be removed by patients before entering the MR system room include:
Eat a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. No caffeine (including decaffeinated products), sugar, chocolate, tobacco and strenuous activity or exercise 24 hours before your scan.
Acceptable Snacks: Hard Cheese, Turkey Roll-Ups, Mixed Nuts, Hummus and Celery Sticks, Hard Boiled Eggs
