Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

I'm not a fan of the celery. I used to, with great caution, pick every bit of it out of my food. I've mellowed somewhat and will eat celery when it appears as it should (cooked – as in a mirepoix) but still, I just don't like the taste very much.
But the color of celery is pretty, no? These socks I knit, in a color of Lorna's Laces called Carol Green, are very celery-ish. So when I wrote the pattern up and it came time to give it a name, they screamed CELERY!
I also like that when you say "celery socks" it sounds like "celery stalks." Yes, I can be easily amused. I've been walking around saying it to myself, or sometimes out loud, "socks…stalks…socks…stalks" and pondering the similarities. If you say celery socks fast enough it sounds like celery stalks. Go try it now. See?
I've been working on this pattern for! ever! It was such a long time ago that I worked out how to make the short-row garter stitch toe. I've knit a bunch of these toes since and I'm in love with this construction. The best part of the garter stitch toe (and heel) is it's inherent stretchiness, and there is a roomy and comfortable quality to the sock. You really have to knit this for yourself and try it on to see what I'm talking about. You really must.
And now you can! The pattern is up for sale and you can buy it on Ravelry or click the button on the bottom of the post to get your very own copy of the Celery Socks pattern. The socks are knit toe-up beginning with a crochet provisional cast on that is explained in detail in the pattern. The zigzaggy stitch pattern on the leg really sings with solid or semi-solid yarns.
You can use any fingering weight sock yarn for this pattern, and depending on your gauge, achieve a wide range of sizes. Click the Celery Socks pattern page for more details, or find similar info on the Ravelry pattern page for Celery Socks.
Thank you! (And thanks to Lisa for being a patient and professional foot model; and for putting celery in that salad the other day.)

"The budget approved by the House would be catastrophic for the university," said Northwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb.
Over 70 percent of the State of Louisiana's operating budget is protected through constitutional or statutory dedications, federal mandates and unavoidable obligations. Higher education does not enjoy any constitutional protection from cuts. Consequently, when the state faces significant shortfalls, higher education, along with healthcare, takes the brunt of the reductions.
"Higher education has been notified that of the $268 million shortfall in the budget for next year, $134 million will be taken from our allocations," said University of Louisiana System President Randy Moffett.
Over the past four years, reductions to higher education have been mitigated in part by one-time funding and raising tuition and fees. Even with modest increases in tuition over the last few years, it has not been enough to close the gap in funding. Since FY 2008/09, Northwestern's net total funding reduction would be $13.9 million (17 percent) given the current budget scenario.
To date, Northwestern has taken several steps to address declining resources such as eliminating numerous academic programs and reducing the size of the faculty and staff by nearly 200 positions."
Webb stated the additional loss of $9.4 million "could require Northwestern State to declare financial exigency to have the authority and flexibility for extensive personnel reductions, which is the only way we would be able to meet this large of a reduction."

Frankfurt hotels
What travelers to Frankfurt are saying
Fun in Frankfurt
As Germany's financial core, Frankfurt is where you'll be confronted with banks, businesses in skyscrapers and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Money, money, and more money… And you'll certainly need a fair few Euros when you're here. Frankfurt is many things, but one thing it's not is cheap.
Amusingly, the people of Frankfurt are named after sausages. Or that could be the other way around. Regardless, Frankfurt is home to lots of Frankfurters – some are tasty and gorgeous, while others are simply edible.
Amidst the high-rises are museums aplenty. If you're interested in philosophy or poetry, head to the Goethe House or Goethe Museum. For other cultural pursuits, try the Museum of Sculpture, the Film Museum or Staedel Gallery.
Here's something to add to your trivia knowledge: Frankfurt-am-Main is actually the city's official name (referring to the river Main). This is because there's a handful Frankfurts in Germany – confusing, we know! But when someone says 'Frankfurt', it's common knowledge that they mean Frankfurt-am-Main.
You've probably been daydreaming about bier since the second you started thinking about Germany as a holiday destination, but in Frankfurt the alcoholic specialty is actually Apfelwein (Ebbelwoi in the local dialect), which is an apple cider. Fortunately, it tastes almost as good as beer and is just as alcoholic!
So while money makes this city go round, a good time can still be had in Frankfurt. The sausages see to that.
Frankfurt's Top 10
10. Museum of Modern Art unsurprisingly exhibits German modern art, but the building itself is also very pretty.
5. Frankfurter Dom (Dom Sankt Bartholomaus) This Gothic cathedral is the largest church in Frankfurt at 95 metres tall.
9. Palmengarten is one of the two botanical gardens in Frankfurt – and the largest in Germany.
4. Frankfurt Zoo Find your animalistic side at the Frankfurt Zoo. There are more than 5000 animals to learn about.
8. St Paul's Church was the first building to be re-built after World War II when many of Frankfurt's major buildings were destroyed.
3. Hessenpark Open Air Museum Close to 100 houses are on display at this museum, showcasing the land of Hesse (which isn't quite as magical as the land of Oz, but still quietly interesting in a rather earnest Germanic way).
7. Sachsenhausen This district of Frankfurt is where you can taste the famous Apfelwein at its traditional cider houses.
2. Senckenberg Museum is a natural history museum. You know the deal: dinosaur skeletons, stuffed birds and the like. It's no Jurassic Park, but kids (and dinosaur fanatics) will absolutely love it!
6. Oper Frankfurt is a modern opera house not to be confused with Alte Oper (Old Opera). It has been awarded 'Best Opera House of the Year' three times now.
1. Römer This medieval building is Frankfurt's most important sight. It was converted into a city hall (Rathaus) after the Römer merchant family sold the building to the city council.
Frankfurt History
- Senckenberg National History Museum – Not just dinosaurs. Children will love it, and parents will too.

Frankfurt Art & Culture
- Museum of Modern Art – Many levels in a building made for the display of art.
- Dialog Museum – Find out what it is to be blind, led by a blind guide in darkness.
- Old Opera House – Rebuilt after being destroyed in the war and well worth a visit, even without a performance.
- Stadel Museum – Widely regarded as the best art museum in the city, if not the world.
- German Architecture Museum – A wonderful way to learn about German architecture.
Frankfurt Shopping
- Bauernmarkt Konstablerwache – A huge farmer's market that leaves nothing out.
- MyZeil – Shops and restaurants for every taste. Check out the LEGO shop.
- Portikus – An art gallery that features contemporary art.
- Hessen–Center – Find the brands you know in a conveniently located little shopping mall.
- Schirn Art Hall – An ever-changing art gallery that specializes in nothing. Old masters sit next to modern pieces.
Gay & Lesbian Frankfurt
- Lucky's Manhattan – LGBT-friendly place that offers entertainment as well as drinks.
- Harvey's – The emphasis in this place is romance. The drinks aren't bad, either.
- Pilar – The emphasis here is on the cocktails.
- Opium – This place is known for its beautiful patrons.
- Central – Good drinks and great conversation.
Frankfurt Outdoor
- Garden of Heavenly Freedom – An oasis of Asian charm in the middle of a bustling German city.

- Eschborn–Frankfurt City Loop – A cycling race that goes mostly in the mountains outside the city.
Frankfurt LocalAltstadt
It means 'old city' in German, so it's no surprise that Altstadt is the historical centre of Frankfurt, although much of it has been rebuilt since WWII. Here you'll find the Romerberg Plaza and Paulskirche (Paul's Church), while the Hauptwache (guardhouse), a baroque building and plaza, is also worth a peek. It connects to shopping streets, if you're suddenly in the mood for a splurge. There's also the Historischer Garten, an archaeological garden that houses the remains of Roman and Carolingian military buildings.Innenstadt
Innenstadt translates to 'inner city'. The city district houses the Alte Oper (Old Opera) – old because it's been around since 1880. Alte Oper has two concert halls and smaller convention halls. Although there's now a new opera house, Frankfurt Oper, it still holds plays and concerts today. Another landmark worth visiting is the Friedberger Tor, a medieval watchtower. Innenstadt also has the Zeil, Germany's longest Fussgängerzone (pedestrian shopping street). You'll easily burn money at this shopping area, so watch out!Bahnhofsviertel
Trainspotters of the world, rejoice! Finally a city destination created with you in mind! Bahnhofsviertel is Frankfurt's train station area. How good is that?! You can go there and see trains. Some moving, some standing still, some with people using them. Simply unbelievable stuff! (You can also go there for the famous red-light district, which boasts everything from peep shows to sex shops – but who would want to do that when trains are on offer? FYI, the sexy action is particularly, shall we say, active and vibrant north of Kaiserstraße).
Frankfurt Eat & Drink
You'll no doubt want to chow down on some good old hearty German food, but for those looking for something a little different, Frankfurt also has a lot of international and European cuisine to keep your tastebuds tantalized.
Bistro Rosa Here you'll be greeted by pig caricatures that looks like German politicians. As intimated by the caricatures and the fact that Germans love meat, pork is on the German menu.
Silk at Cocoon Club is an exotic restaurant – almost too exotic for most Germans, we presume, as it's waaay more popular with tourists. The fusion menu offers an 11-course meal. City Centre
Gargantua serves modern German cuisine with a touch of French flair. Chef Klaus Trebes is also a food columnist (just to give you a conversation-starter should you meet him).
Erno's Bistro has been open since 1974. It's one of Frankfurt's favourite restaurants, serving French and Mediterranean.
Gerbermuehle A restored 14th Century flour mill with contemporary design, Gerbermuehle is the place where Goethe met his Marianne. It's a hotel, which also has an excellent restaurant. Oberrad
Osteria Enoteca It's like we've died and gone to gastronomical heaven. This small but very busy restaurant gives you an authentic Italian fine dining experience in Frankfurt. Rödelheim
Maintower 187 metres high, you'll get a spectacular view while you bask in the glory of German and international dishes. Be warned, though, the lift ride alone costs €5. City Centre
Movenpick Hotel Frankfurt has a brunch buffet that seduces all who try it. Warning: you may leave with a food baby if you don't practise safe eating.
Surf'n'Turf Steaks and seafood! It's the best steakhouse in Frankfurt, but it comes at a price.
Altes Zollhaus dishes up traditional German food and international dishes in a 230-year-old house. In the summer you can dine in the gorgeous garden. Seckbach
Frankfurt Events
Fasching is an annual event celebrated in February everywhere in Germany. It's somewhat similar to Mardi Gras in other countries. Dress up along with the Frankfurters and join in on the many outdoor activities.
In March and April, the Spring Dippe Fair is an enormous sideshow where you can enjoy rides, food and wine tastings, as well as firework displays.
The Museum Quay Festival is a celebration on the river Main in August. Set your eyes on cultural performances and fireworks.
The Frankfurt Motor Show is held every two years in September. It's the largest motor show in the world!
In mid-October indulge in the Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurt Buchmesse) – the most important publishing event in the world. The fair has been around since 1485. You'll only be able to participate in the last two days of the fair when it's open to the public. Just don't go there to should out: 'The Internet is killing books!'
In October the Frankfurt Jazz Festival is perfect for jazz enthusiasts. Obviously. Wouldn't be much point going if country and western is your thing.
The Christmas Market is one of the best in Germany. Held in November and December, up to three million visitors (including one very special one with a great white beard who comes all the way from the North Pole!) make an appearance.
When To Go
Frankfurt's climate is much like any other German city: cold in winter, hot in summer, and pleasant in between.
Winter (November to February) in Frankfurt is chilly – temperatures frequently drop below freezing.
Spring (March to April) thaws out those frozen toes and fingers with temperatures that (happily) climb above zero at around 0-13°C (32-55°F).
In summer (May to August) you'll typically enjoy warm weather at 8-23°C (46-73°F), but the mercury can climb to 35°C (95°F) at times.
Autumn is from September to October, and is still warm enough to make for a pleasant trip at 6-19°C (43-66°F)
Getting There & Around
Frankfurt Airport is the second largest in Europe, so chances are you'll have a stopover here even if you're flying elsewhere in Europe. May as well make a trip out of it! You can also reach Frankfurt by bus and train.
The public transport system in Frankfurt is very good. You can take the Underground (U-Bahn) or S-Bahn (those gorgeous trains again!), the tram or the bus. On average a one-day ticket will cost you €6.40. You can also take taxis, cars or bikes. Frankfurt has lots of bike lanes, so you're good to go.
What To Miss
Avoid secluded areas like Bonames or Rödelheim, where American-style gangs could feel the need to provoke you.
Hauptbahnhof (central station area) attracts a lot of homeless people and drug addicts. Beggars may ask you for Kleingeld (small change). Pretend you don't speak German (which you probably don't!) and they'll most likely leave you alone.
General Information
While only fifth on the population depth chart in Germany, no other city in the country is more vital to the national economy. As the financial heart of Germany and indeed, second only to Paris on continental Europe, the city is synonymous with big banks, big business and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
The sum total for tourists however, extends far beyond the cold numbers of the DAX. Though Frankfurt is a financial hub, certain consequences proffer great reasons to visit. The city has a decidedly international vibe for one, with people from all over the world in the employ of countless multinational institutions, and invests in the arts in a big way.
While traces of a medieval fortification that ran the perimeter of the city are scarce, the Eschenheimer Turm is a stark reminder of Frankfurt's historic role as a crucial base on the river Main. The Gothic watchtower was one of 60 around the city.
The former Baroque house of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a giant philosopher, poet and writer, is a popular attraction in Frankfurt. The house, faithfully rebuilt after World War II, is adjacent to the Goethe Museum. Frankfurt also has a liberal arts university in his name.
Frankfurt's preeminent Museum of Sculpture has a fabulous home in the former palace of Baron Heinrich Liebieg. Built in 1896, exhibits span various periods of sculpture throughout the history of Europe, as well as collections from around the world.
Germany has a unique and rich cinematic history. Much of it is on display at the excellent Film Museum in Frankfurt.
The StÄdel Gallery is the best art museum in Frankfurt. The vast collection of master works covers all the major schools in Europe.
Frankfurt, as befitting a leading financial city, has some tall buildings. Some of the highest skyscrapers in the European Union grace the city skyline. While the Maintower is only the fourth-tallest, it comes equipped with that most magnetic of tourist attractions: an observation deck, with great panoramic views of Frankfurt.
Every German city seems to explode at Christmastime, with traditional fairs and festive feasts that conjure the convivial warmth of Old Europe. Frankfurt's Christmas Market is simply one of the best in the country. Held in the heart of the old town, the market dates back over 700 years.
The Museum Quay Festival is a huge outdoor celebration on the river Main in late August that draws tens of thousands of Frankfurt residents to cultural performances, food and beverage vendors and fireworks displays.
While not as large as others around Europe, the Frankfurt Jazz Festival has a solid track record of thoughtfully chosen artists from around the world that challenge the very limits of the genre. The festival takes place throughout the month of October.
A typical German city with four seasons that herald cold winters and humid, rainy summers, the months of May and September may be the best time to visit Frankfurt.
- Winter (November to February) -3-7°C
- Spring (March to April) 0-13°C
- Summer (May to August) 8-23°C
- Fall (September to October) 6-19°C

|Injuries in Three-Vehicle Crash on 105 Bypass
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 17 May 2013 07:42
There were injuries in a three-vehicle crash on the NC 105 bypass this morning just across from the Coke plant. The crash occurred in a work zone on the bypass, and involved a Chevrolet SUV striking the rear of a small Subaru, which, in turn, struck the back of an Isuzu SUV. Watauga Medics worked
to carefully remove the injured from the Isuzu, while Boone Fire directed traffic through the wreck site. The state patrol has that wreck under investigation.

Exelon filed an application to relicense Muddy Run with FERC in August 2012. Exelon has applied for license renewal using the Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) as set forth in Part 5 of the Commission's regulations (18 C.F. R. Pt. 5). The ILP was developed to integrate the pre-filing consultation with the Commission's scoping pursuant to the National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) (42 USC 4321, et seq.).
The purpose of the Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) for the Muddy Run Project (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) #3255) is to provide rules and guidelines for managing multiple resources and uses of the Project shoreline so as to ensure the protection and enhancement of the Project's recreational, environmental, historical, cultural, and scenic resources and the Project's primary function, the generation of electricity. The overall goal is for the SMP to be a management tool that will enable Exelon to fulfill its license responsibilities and obligations for the Project, including the protection, and enhancement of the Project's environmental and recreational values.

Rangers Vs. Florida
7:00pm, Madison Square Garden
Rangers Record: 11-10-0
Oilers Record: 9-9-2
these two teams have similar records, the Rangers and Panthers are headed in two
very different directions. New York is 4-6-0 in their last 10 games while
Florida has gone 7-2-1; a record that Ranger fans can only vaguely remember.
will be the first of two meetings between these teams in the month of November
as the Rangers take a trip south next Wednesday. Last year, the Rangers
struggled against the Panthers losing 3 out of 4.
will likely start Tomas Vokoun in net who has been an impressive 5-1-1 over his
last seven starts. The Ranger D-Men will have to keep an eye on Stephen Weiss
and Nathan Horton who have combined for 5 goals and 6 assists over Florida's
last four games.
Rangers will need a strong effort to stop Florida's winning ways, particularly from players not named Marian Gaborik. The one-dimensional
scoring must come to an end, as the reliance on Gaborik and Lundqvist has not
been enough to keep this team afloat.
According to multiple reports, an
interesting change in lines will take place tonight, as Ales Kotalik will join
Gaborik and Vinny Prospal on the top line. This is a very interesting move, as it
should enable Kotalik to see top minutes as well as some good looks at the net.
Could this be the spark the offense needs?
Chris Drury
and Brandon Dubinsky will remain as scratches for tonight's game while David Booth (concussion)
will be a key loss for the Panthers.
Blueshirt Bulletin will be covering the
game live from Madison Square Garden. Follow us here and on Twitter.

UBS reports a second quarter loss of CHF 1.4 billion; quarter-end BIS tier 1 ratio of 13.2%
UBS reports a second quarter loss of CHF 1,402 million.
Second quarter 2009 results
Net loss attributable to UBS shareholders was CHF 1,402 million in second quarter 2009 compared with CHF 1,975 million in first quarter 2009. This was driven by lower losses on risk positions from businesses now exited or in the process of being exited by the Investment Bank. Second quarter results were significantly affected by a charge of CHF 1,213 million for own credit on financial liabilities designated at fair value, restructuring charges of CHF 582 million and goodwill impairment charges of CHF 492 million in relation to the announced sale of UBS Pactual. Net loss from continuing operations was CHF 1,115 million compared with a net loss of CHF 1,852 million.
Total operating income increased to CHF 5,770 million from CHF 4,970 million. This was driven by lower trading losses with a net trading income of positive CHF 220 million compared with negative CHF 630 million. Net interest income decreased to CHF 1,143 million from CHF 1,899 million. UBS recorded a credit loss expense of CHF 388 million in second quarter 2009, compared with 1,135 million in first quarter 2009. Net fee and commission income was CHF 4,502 million, up 6% from CHF 4,241 million. Second quarter 2009 saw an increase in underwriting and net brokerage fees partly offset by decreases in the other fee categories. Other income decreased to CHF 292 million from CHF 595 million.
Total operating expenses increased 9% to CHF 7,093 million from CHF 6,528 million. Second quarter 2009 included restructuring charges of CHF 582 million and an additional goodwill impairment charge of CHF 492 million related to the announced sale of UBS Pactual, while first quarter 2009 included a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 631 million related to this transaction.
Business division performance: 2Q09 vs 1Q09
Wealth Management & Swiss Bank recorded a pre-tax profit of CHF 932 million, compared with CHF 1,077 million. Operating income was virtually flat, while second quarter restructuring charges of CHF 321 million resulted in an increase in operating expenses. Excluding restructuring charges, pre-tax profit for the second quarter would have increased 16% from the prior quarter.
Wealth Management Americas recorded a pre-tax loss of CHF 221 million compared with a pre-tax loss of CHF 35 million. The second quarter included restructuring charges of CHF 152 million, whereas the first quarter included a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 19 million related to the announced sale of UBS Pactual. Excluding these charges, the pre-tax loss for second quarter 2009 would have been CHF 69 million compared with a first quarter pre-tax loss of CHF 16 million.
Global Asset Management recorded a pre-tax profit of CHF 82 million compared with a pre-tax loss of CHF 59 million. Excluding a goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter of CHF 191 million in relation to the announced sale of UBS Pactual and restructuring charges in both quarters, pre-tax profit in the second quarter would have decreased by CHF 30 million, or 22%. Increased performance fees were more than offset by higher personnel expenses.
The Investment Bank recorded a pre-tax loss of CHF 1,846 million compared with a pre-tax loss of CHF 3,162 million. This change was driven by lower losses on risk positions from businesses now exited or in the process of being exited. An own credit charge of CHF 1,213 million on financial liabilities designated at fair value was included in the second quarter result, compared with an own credit gain of CHF 651 million in first quarter 2009. Operating expenses were down from the prior quarter, despite higher personnel expenses, as first quarter expenses included a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 421 million related to the announced sale of UBS Pactual. The equities and investment banking businesses saw increased revenues as they capitalized on improved market sentiment with increased activity in equity markets. However, underlying sales and trading revenues in the fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC) area were weak as the business was being rebuilt. Additionally, the deployment of resources to FICC reflected a conservative view on risk taking.
The Corporate Center recorded a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of CHF 270 million in second quarter 2009. This was mainly due to a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 492 million related to the announced sale of UBS Pactual, primarily relating to foreign exchange losses. The Corporate Center recorded a pre-tax profit from continuing operations of CHF 621 million in first quarter 2009.
Net new money
Wealth Management & Swiss Bank - Outflows of net new money slowed to CHF 16.5 billion from CHF 23.4 billion. Total net new money outflows comprised CHF 0.2 billion from Swiss clients and CHF 16.3 billion from international clients, compared with net outflows of CHF 10.2 billion and CHF 13.2 billion respectively for first quarter 2009. Higher net outflows, particularly in European locations, were only partly offset by net inflows in the Asia Pacific region.
Wealth Management Americas - Second quarter 2009 saw net new money outflows of CHF 5.8 billion, compared with net new money inflows of CHF 16.2 billion in the first quarter.
Global Asset Management - Net new money outflows were CHF 17.1 billion compared with CHF 7.7 billion. Institutional net new money outflows were CHF 6.6 billion compared with CHF 1.1 billion. Excluding money market flows, net outflows were CHF 3.4 billion compared with CHF 9.2 billion. Equities saw the first quarterly net inflow since fourth quarter 2005 but net outflows were reported in multi-asset, alternative and quantitative investments, fixed income and real estate funds. Outflows of wholesale intermediary net new money were CHF 10.6 billion compared with CHF 6.6 billion. Excluding money market flows, wholesale intermediary net outflows were CHF 4.5 billion compared with CHF 8.7 billion. Outflows were reported mainly in multi-asset, equities and fixed income.
Capital base and balance sheet
On 30 June 2009, UBS's BIS tier 1 ratio stood at 13.2% and its BIS total capital ratio was 17.7%, up from 10.5% and 14.7% respectively on 31 March 2009. During the second quarter, risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased 11%, to CHF 248.0 billion, BIS tier 1 capital increased by CHF 3.4 billion to CHF 32.6 billion, and BIS total capital increased by CHF 3.0 billion to CHF 43.9 billion. These numbers include the effect of the capital increase completed on 30 June 2009, through which UBS raised approximately CHF 3.8 billion net of fees through the placement of 293,258,050 new shares.
Taking into account the effects from the announced sale of UBS Pactual, which is expected to close in third quarter 2009, BIS tier 1 capital would increase by approximately CHF 1 billion and RWA would be CHF 3 billion lower. Upon closing of the transaction, UBS's BIS tier 1 ratio is expected to increase by approximately 50 basis points to a 30 June 2009 pro forma ratio of 13.7%.
UBS reduced its balance sheet by a further CHF 261 billion during the second quarter and held total assets of CHF 1,600 billion on 30 June 2009. Replacement values (RVs) decreased by a similar extent on both sides of the balance sheet, as market movements drove down positive replacement values by 28%, or CHF 211 billion, to CHF 543 billion and negative replacement values by 29%, or CHF 211 billion, to CHF 524 billion. In addition, lending assets fell by CHF 37 billion, collateral trading assets by CHF 12 billion and trading assets by CHF 4 billion.

By RICHARD SHAWGeneral manager
On hot days like these it is nice to be able to have cool water run over ones head or take a dip in a swimming pool. And of course a cold cool drink of water doesn't hurt either.
But just imagine if that drink wasn't available. Imagine a major catastrophe where all culinary water is cut off and it's either drink water from tainted sources or don't drink at all. It's a possibility, and the Price City Emergency Planning Committee is urging citizens to think about it, and then do something about it.
"We are trying to make people aware that having water storage is as important as any other emergency measure they can take around their homes," said Joyce Daniels of the PCEPC. "And the way water is stored for emergencies is important too."
To that end the PCEPC has teamed up with Pinnacle Sports to sell to the public five gallon storage containers at a low cost. These containers are ideal to store water in because that is what they are manufactured for and they are portable.
While a cutoff in water is seemingly impossible a major flood, a broken water line, earthquake or a national emergency could cause water that comes from taps to stop flowing or render it undrinkable. The Federal Emergency Management Administration and the Red Cross strongly advise that each person in a family should have at least 14 gallons of potable water stored for them just in case of a problem.
During the millennium scare many people did store water, food and other items, but that was five years ago and a lot of the preparedness people did then has either dwindled away or their emergency storage is old. Many went out and bought big water tanks so they would have enough to get through an emergency. Problem is, if there is an evacuation, they can't take those tanks with them. At least some water storage needs to be portable.
In an emergency, drinking water should never be rationed. So it is important to store at least one gallon of it for each person per day. Individual needs vary, because people at certain ages need more water. In addition water usage is determined by the persons physical condition and the climate at the time of the emergency. Generally very hot temperatures double the amount of water a person needs to stay hydrated.
In addition pregnant women, people who are ill and children often need more water as well.
The PCEPC recommends that people use the proper storage vessels for water. Here are some steps for putting water in food-grade containers, which are the type that are being sold at Pinnacle Sports.
Rinse the food-grad container with a weak bleach solution (1:10) and always use unscented 5 percent bleach to do so.) After that rinse them out again with clean water.
Fill the container with tap water. If well water is used to fill them it must be further treated.
Seal the containers tightly and date them. Store them in a cool, dark place.
Water should only be stored for six months. Then the containers need to be emptied and the process repeated.
Residents should also store water in non-food-grade containers that can be used for washing, bathing, flushing toilets, etc. A good recommendation is to fill unrinsed liquid detergent bottles for laundry use if it is needed.
The low cost food grade containers will go on sale Monday, July 18.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
As I sat in a chair at the Sun Advocate booth during Relay for Life on Friday night at the USU Eastern track, I listened to the crowd, people as they went by on the track, or stood around and talked nearby.
It was an evening of hope and lights, and one big almost full moon. The clouds drifted through the sky and some people next to our booth were spending time looking at those clouds saying "Look I see a dog" or "Hey there's a guy's face."
Memories are made on summer nights like this. It took me back to my favorite summer memories as a kid. You know, back in the stone age when a Beatle was still a bug and not a rock and roll icon, and we hadn't yet put a man on the moon.
It is funny what I remember. I remember building all kinds of huts, including a half dozen tree houses. I remember spending hours in my best friends basement (which was very cool, temperature wise) reading the latest Marvel Comics that had just introduced super heros like Spiderman, the Fantastic Four and Iron Man. I remember long Monopoly games that went for days on end with my friend next door. One particular summer we played almost every day, and he beat every time but twice.
And I remember hauling hay on my dad's farm.
It was something I dreaded. For two weeks in June, two in July and two in August, I spent those precious days off of school either driving the tractor or hauling bales of hay up to the wagon only to have to cart them off to the barn where I had to take them off again.
The cool thing was driving the tractor. At 10 years old all my friends couldn't believe I got to drive something that wasn't powered by our legs. The bad part about hauling hay was that it was hot, sticky and the alfalfa dust stuck to every part of your body. I was also sore at the end of each day.
My father and my two uncles operated that dairy farm for 35 years (52 years if you count the time they ran it under the tutelage of my grandfather) and hay hauling was a ritual. My first memory was not of baling or hauling hay bales, but standing on top of a wagon full of loose hay tromping it down so they could get more on with their pitchforks before it headed to the barnyard. My older sisters were driving the tractor then and a few times I remember the wagon jerking because their feet slipped off the clutch or they started out too fast. I almost fell off those times. Then I would hear my uncles or my dad cussing them out. I thought it was funny until I was the one driving, later on when we were loading bales by hand.
Sometimes when we did bales and everyone was available, so I would be the designated driver and that only. I guess watching a 70 lb. kid trying to lug 80 lb. bales to the wagon and put them on it was a little much for my dad, so I got the spot on the tractor. Often I would look off into the distance, wondering how much fun my friends were having or I would look at the Wasatch Mountains and day dream about how neat it would be to be standing in the creek in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
One day I was looking at the identity tag on one of our Case tractor's gauge panel. I saw it was built in Racine. Wis. and started to day dream about what that place must look like, being right on Lake Michigan where I had seen the name on maps. As I did this my mind wandered off what I was doing and my foot slipped off the clutch. The tractor jumped forward and died. Then I heard some yelling and then some laughing as one of my uncles walked up to the tractor.
"You damn near broke your dad's neck," said my uncle Tom, chuckling. "He was up on a bale and you knocked him right off the wagon onto some bales that were sitting behind it."
It must have been funny to see because he never laughed much.
My dad was okay though and he never said a thing to me about it. I often wondered why they laughed about that I did that, but always cussed my sisters when they had done it.
I remember when we came up to the barnyard my mother would come over from the house on hot afternoons with a couple of large pitchers of Kool Aid and ice and we would all stand in the shade at the side of the barn gulping it down. No one seemed to know much about dehydration in those days, although on my uncles truck there always hung a "water bag" in front of the radiator, which we would all drink from periodically while out in the field. I don't know it if was everyone elses saliva or just that I was so thirsty, but never in my life have I ever had water that tasted as good as that. Bottled water, safe and sanitary, didn't exist as far as I knew.
And I also remember we filled that bag from a hose by the barn. It was a common garden hose, not drinking water certified.
I remember standing on top of the wagon tossing bales into the escalator that took them up into the barn where my uncles stacked them. It was really a dangerous job when you think about it. Fourteen feet off the ground, handling bales bigger than me and below a chain driven escalator with a drive line leading to the back of one of the tractors that powered it, all open, no guards. I remember my one of my uncles telling me to be careful around that drive because they had read about a guy who got his untucked shirt caught on it and he was wrapped up by it and was beat around again and again until there was not much left of him. He was working alone and his wife found him in pieces on the ground long after the tractor had run out of gasoline.
I imagined that had happened, but maybe it was just a tale to make me be careful.
What I find funny is that the thing I hated the most about summer as a kid, is the thing I remember the best. And you know what, I think I never did hate it, and over the years I find it was one of the great learning experiences of my life. Farm chores were always there, but the hauling of the hay was special; it taught me sacrifice (not being able to do all the things my friends were doing), how to work hard, and a sense of accomplishing something that was useful.
I have to wonder what so many kids today will cherish as their best memories of summer. Will it be the endless hours of playing video games in the basement rec room on hot summer days or watching endless reruns of NCIS on Netflix all summer. Or instead will it be the times that dad made them cut the lawn, paint the house, weed the garden or maybe, if some agricultural land is involved, haul the hay on July afternoons?
When it is all said and done, in my estimation, the value of hard work and instilling a work ethic in children, may be a pain in the present, but in the future it can be invaluable.
And along the way, in retrospect, fun too.

CANTON St. Lawrence Universitys big-play defense came through again Saturday, helping the Saints snap a 14-year losing streak to the University of Rochester with a 14-10 Liberty League victory at Leckonby Stadium.
Rochester outgained St. Lawrence 406-264, but nearly every time SLU (4-1 overall, 2-0 conference) needed to make a big stop on defense, it came through. Rochester converted on just one of four fourth-down attempts.
The victory gave the Saints their best start to a season since 1985.
It feels great, Saints coach Mark Raymond said. Im just so proud of our players and coaches. Theyve just gelled as a group and played tremendously hard and worked tremendously hard and they are coming up huge in critical moments. I couldnt be prouder of a group of guys. The defense played great. They really prepare hard during the week to know the opponent and theyve been executing.
SLU struggled on offense in the second half, failing to make even one first down until there were 9 minutes, 7 seconds left in the game.
But the Saints, who had owned the 14-10 lead since late in the third quarter, took over with 4:25 left on their own 30 and ran a six-play, 34-yard drive that wound the clock down to 1:11, picking up two first downs on 13- and 6-yard runs by Maurice Irby.
Mo is the man in the backfield, Saints linebacker Alec Dietsch said. Hes been getting first downs like that. We look to him in those situations and hes been coming through for us.
Said Irby, (Rochester) had a couple good play calls and backed us up and that brought the morale down a little bit. But we picked it back up when the time mattered. We wasted four minutes off the clock and they used their timeouts and the defense came back and did their job.
When the final Saints series ended, punter Brodie Corless was able to pin Rochester on its own 4 and six plays later the clock ran out on the Yellowjackets chances.
Rochester (2-2, 1-1) couldnt have had a better start to the game as R.J. Borgolini intercepted a Mike Lefflbine pass on the second play from scrimmage, giving the Yellowjackets the ball on the SLU 30.
But that merely gave the Saints defense their first chance to come through in key moments, as Shane Hart recovered a fumble for SLU on a 4th-and-1 from the Saints 21.
SLU took a 7-0 lead a bit later when Lefflbine connected with Irby on a 15-yard pass play with 8:29 left in the first half.
Rochester responded to SLUs score with a drive of its own, reaching the SLU 18. But Yellowjackets running back Willie Roberson dropped an open pass near the end zone on a 4th-and-15 play to stall another drive.
Irby, who gained 67 yards on 18 carries, extended SLUs lead to 14-0 with a 1-yard scoring run with 7:42 left in the first half.
Maurice is a tough, hard-nosed football player, Raymond said. When he gets a crack up front and finds it, hes strong enough to make the first guy miss. Hes not an easy guy to tackle. Hes very strong, hes quick and he runs with a lot of motivation.
Rochester thought it scored a touchdown late in the first half, but a nice catch in the corner of the end zone by Adam Schempp was waved off due to an ineligible receiver downfield, forcing the Yellowjackets to settle for a field goal and a 14-3 halftime deficit.
Rochester took control in the second half, receiving the kickoff and driving to the SLU 4 before another drive was thwarted, this time on a fourth-down sack by Obi Nwaigwe, which resulted in an eight-yard loss.
(Raymond) really preached teamwork and effort and toughness and every single one on the defensive side displayed that, Nwaigwe said. It was just a good win. By the time we got to halftime, coach told us not to be complacent and to keep pushing and keep pushing, because they can pick up the momentum and really hurt us.
Rochester cut SLUs lead to 14-10 with 6:16 left in the third on a 2-yard run from Devin White, but that would be the last score of the game.

Ablation Therapy for Kidney Cancer
Radiofrequency ablation
Your doctor may suggest this treatment for kidney cancer, if one or more of these situations is true for you:
You have only one kidney.
Your kidney is not working well.
You have another health condition that prevents surgery.
You are elderly, making surgery or recovery from it difficult.
Your tumor is small--less than 2 inches. And the cancer is on the kidney's surface and not to close to other vital organs.
The cancer has spread to other organs, such as your lungs or liver.
You have a cancer that has come back, or you have more than one cancer.
Radiofrequency ablation is a less invasive way to treat kidney cancer than surgery. It also allows you to keep your kidney. It is a localized treatment because it affects only the tumor itself, not the whole body.
If you have this procedure, you will see an interventional radiologist. This specialized doctor will work closely with your urologist during your treatment.
On the day of the procedure, you may get a general anesthesia. This medicine puts you to sleep so that you don't feel pain or remember anything. Or you may get only enough anesthesia to make you sleepy so that you are still conscious but not feeling pain.
Then the interventional radiologist uses ultrasound or other imaging tests to help him or her insert and guide a needlelike probe into the tumor. Prongs on the end of the catheter surround the tumor. Then the end of the probe is heated to kill tumor cells.
Most people go home on the day of the procedure, although some people may stay the night in the hospital.
After the procedure, you will have follow-up CT or MRI scans to make sure the tumor hasn't returned. Your doctor can repeat this procedure, if necessary.
It is not yet clear how well this type of treatment compares with surgery because no studies of long-term outcomes have not yet been published. Since this is a fairly new procedure that may be considered experimental in some areas, many insurance companies may need preapproval.
Cryoablation (cryotherapy)
This is a newer way to treat kidney cancer that involves freezing the kidney tumor instead of heating it. Cryoablation is a less invasive way to treat kidney cancer than surgery. It also allows you to keep your kidney. It is a localized treatment because it affects only the tumor itself, not the whole body.
Your doctor may suggest this treatment for kidney cancer if one of these situations is true for you:
Your tumor is smaller.
You are older, and surgery may be too risky for you.
You have only one kidney.
This procedure may be done by a urologist or by an interventional radiologist.
During the procedure, the doctor uses ultrasound or other imaging tests to insert and guide small needles into the kidney tumor. The needles' tips release a very cold gas to freeze the tumor, and in the process the tumor cells are destroyed.
As with radiofrequency ablation, it is not yet known how well cryoablation compares with surgery.

I don't accept the defense some criminals put forth that they blacked-out or have dual personalities. In fact, the whole insanity defense is ridiculous, simply because no normal, sane person goes around murdering people.
Take Professor Stephen Graham, an academic at Newcastle University. He carved up a Mercedes SLK, BMW 520, a BMW X5 and a Land Rover with the words very silly, really wrong and arbitrary with a screwdriver:
Not that the choice of vocabulary will be much consolation. The late-night wrecking spree caused £20,000 damage to the 24 cars targeted in the affluent suburb of Jesmond, Newcastle.
Hours later, Professor Stephen Graham, 47, was arrested and questioned by police. An academic at Newcastle University, he lives in the next street from Northumberland Gardens, where most of the attacks were carried out.
Among the cars damaged were a Mercedes SLK, BMW 520, a BMW X5 and a Land Rover.
A resident rang police in the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday, when he spotted a man in black shorts and a black jacket crouching down next to a car.
Seriously? The professor specializes in the study of cities and society. And I read in a later article that the professor's defense is that he has no memory of his actions.
Another recent criminal (of a far more serious crime, murder) named Israel Keyes claimed a dual personality. Still, that personality is his, however partial. He must answer for it.

Unsalted: Peanuts.
Salted Peanuts:
Unsalted Peanuts:
Here's an odd, but true fact: peanuts are a legume and have more in common with kidney beans than cashews, and packs more protein than other nuts. A great source of fiber, vitamin E, folate, zinc, potassium, and magnesium. Antioxidant powerhouses, peanuts are high in the amino acid arginine?a key component in the body's synthesis of nitric oxide which boosts blood flow by opening (dilating) blood vessels. A Purdue University study showed that a daily serving of peanuts, not only cut cardiovascular disease risks, but gave a big boost to those participants whose magnesium levels were too low.

Jacksonville Teen in the Running for National Tractor Restoration Competition
A Jacksonville High School FFA member is hoping to ride his tractor straight to victory and earn some money for college along the way.
Seventeen year old Collin Jones completely restored a 1952 Farmall M tractor. "It took seven months and around eight hundred twenty something hours," said Jones. Not only did Jones work to pay for the tractor, but he did all the tractor restoration himself. "I actually had a Dewalt grinder and ground it all down to bare metal. Every ounce of paint on that thing was just cast iron. The whole motor is new and everything from front to back is either new or restored on it," said Jones.
All that hard work paid off...Jones is now a top 36 finalist in the national Delo Tractor Restoration Competition. He is now vying to be one of the top twelve contestants. "If I am, I will go down to Louisville, Kentucky and I will give a 15 to 20 minute presentation on the tractor," said Jones.
The top twelve contestants will be featured in a national calendar. If Jones becomes one of the top three contestants, he would win a college scholarship ranging from three to ten thousand dollars. "Not a lot of kids have completed a project of this scope that this tractor is and it shows people looking to give scholarships that he has taken a little extra time and put a lot of effort in it," said Jones' father, Mike Lonergan.
Jones is a senior at Jacksonville High School. He plans to attend a trade school after graduation and become a diesel mechanic. He says restoring the tractor was good practice, and getting help paying for school would be the icing on the cake. "It would mean a lot to mean knowing that there is scholarships out there and I know that schools are expensive nowadays and it would be great."
Jones says he loves putting new life into old tractors and has no idea the opportunities that would arise from his hobby. "I didn't even think it would come to be like this. I was planning on just restoring a tractor," said Jones. But win or lose, Jones says he won't quit his favorite pastime. He already has another tractor ready to be restored.Wednesday, April 23 2014, 10:23 AM CDT

GOUVERNEUR The absence of a St. Lawrence County assistant district attorney during Gouverneur Town Court proceedings has caused cases to pile up, according to court officials.
On Nov. 7, Judge Stanley H. Young Jr. had to adjourn at least 13 cases for lack of a prosecutor, according to court documents.
Court Clerk Lauri A. Andrews said while the Town Court was notified several days in advance that Assistant District Attorney James L. Monroe would be unable to make the scheduled court date, Judge Young called District Attorney Nicole M. Duves office requesting a replacement who never appeared.
And this isnt an isolated incident, Mrs. Andrews said. It does get upsetting because things get delayed, and not just for the courts but for the defendant and everyone involved.
Cases on the Nov. 7 docket awaiting a plea offer from the absent prosecutor had to be adjourned to December and January. The Town Court also was without an assistant district attorney on June 13 and Oct. 3.
Mrs. Andrews said the court has seen a number of ADAs over the years who have been rotated through the court and not always appeared when scheduled.
When a defense attorney calls the court asking if an ADA is going to be present, I tell them they are supposed to be here but never expect an appearance, Mrs. Andrews said.
But Ms. Duve said this is all news to her. She said if Judge Young reached out to her office, she was not made aware of it and she was not aware that her assistants have not attended court proceedings.
If there was a problem with the coverage in Gouverneur Court, nobody took the time to bring it to my attention, so I am unaware of it and as far as I am concerned it didnt happen, Ms. Duve said. All I can say is that the ADAs are pulled in a lot of directions and they do the best they can to cover the courts that they are assigned to, and sometimes they are assigned to be in more than one place at a time and there is nothing we can do about it.
Moreover, Ms. Duve said, there are times when it wouldnt matter if a court called for an assistant to cover a court date, as her office is understaffed.
If I dont have anybody to cover, I dont care how much notice they give me; I dont have anybody to cover, Ms. Duve said. If the ADAs that are left are already committed to other courts, Ive got nobody to send, because a lot of these courts meet at the same time.
Judge Young has taken on an increased caseload since the death of Gouverneur Judge John W. Riordan, according to Fowler Town Judge Paul M. Lamson, a representative of the St. Lawrence County Magistrates Association.
On Nov. 7, Judge Young was handling a caseload with 207 charges.
With a court of Gouverneurs size, if they dont have an ADA they have a problem, Judge Lamson said. Right now Judge Youngs calendar is in the 200 to 300 caseload, and there is only one judge until Jan.1, and without an ADA, you are really screwed on a lot of the criminal cases.
Not all of those cases are criminal, Judge Lamson added; however, the criminal cases do exceed 100.
In addition to creating a backlog of cases, the absence of an assistant district attorney wastes county resources when deputies have to transport inmates to and from the jail in Canton only to find their cases cannot be heard, Sheriff Kevin M. Wells said.
I didnt get any report back until after the fact (on Nov. 7) saying we transported somebody over there, the public defender showed up and nobody from the DAs office showed up, Sheriff Wells said. That takes my patrol away from something else they should be doing.
The problem occurs multiple times throughout the year throughout the county, the sheriff said.
We get all the way there and then we are told by the court that they dont need us, he said.
Ms. Duves office isnt always to blame for those adjourned cases, Sheriff Wells said. There have been times when defense attorneys are unable to make it and fail to communicate that to the jail, making communication the core of the issue.
Nothing can happen without the inmate, but also you need the rest of the players there, so sometimes it is a challenge, Sheriff Wells said. We have meetings about this all of the time, because it has always been a concern of ours, but it still happens on occasion (and) there is no reason. The jail is there 24/7; it can always be communicated with and that is all it takes, is some communication.

APIC 2013 Day 2: Diversification and new technologies could counter threat from low-cost shale
May 9, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz in Taipei
ASIA'S MOVERS AND SHAKERS: Board members of petrochemical associations of (from l) Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and India.

IG-Metall Frankfurt / Germany
Project: The new Conferencing Area of the German Industrial Union of Metal Workers, the IG-Metall, at the "MainForum" in Frankfurt
Since summer 2005 the industrial union of metal workers, the IG-Metall, is the main tenant at the "MainForum" in Frankfurt. Inside the new headquarters there is a 1000m² large conferencing area, which has been equipped with the latest conference and audio visual systems. The conferencing area comprises two conference rooms; the "North" and "South" room.
The North Room
This conference room has been designed for 200 people, but with moveable walls it can be divided into three rooms. Therefore, this room can also be used for meetings and training arranged by external organisers. Of course a conference system is needed for communication. The wireless MCW-Digital conference system from beyerdynamic can be set up or removed quickly and easily. Therefore, it is ideal for the use in various applications to meet different arrangements and seatings. The MCW-D 200 system has been installed with two chairman units and 18 MCW-D 2071 delegate units.
Furthermore, there are four wireless Opus 800 microphones available for lectures or similar applications. In addition to this there are four permanent and four mobile interpreter booths with SIS 1202 interpreter consoles from beyerdynamic. This user-friendly system is designed as a dual console, as normally two interpreters take turns in simultaneous interpreting applications. The participants can listen to the foreign languages by using DT 2 headphones. The interpretation is transmitted either via the FE 316 beltpack receivers of the TTS 300 system or the headphone outputs of the wireless MCW-D microphone units.
The South Room
The South room is used for board meetings. The seating of this room is shaped like a U with a row of tables for the board members. As the seating cannot be changed in this room, it was possible to install the wired MCS 100 conference system. There is one microphone unit for each board member available, whereas two advisors share one microphone unit respectively. The equipment of this room also includes two wireless Opus 800 handheld and beltpack transmitters with clip-on microphone.

Pronounced: floc-YOOR-i-deen
Classification: Antineoplastic Agent
Floxuridine works by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA and RNA. Without these essential compounds, cancerous cells cannot grow and divide, and thus die.
Floxuridine is injected into an artery or a vein through an infusion pump. It can be given alone or with other drugs. Dosage and dosing schedules depend on the person and type of cancer.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Floxuridine. 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 nosebleeds, 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 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.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. 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.
In rare cases hair may become thin, brittle, or fall out. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. You may want to use a soft hairbrush and a gentle or baby shampoo to avoid stress on your hair. Avoid hair dyes, perms, bleaches or hair spray. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun.

NEWPORT CENTER - Brian and Jennifer Cook decided to upgrade a home brewing operation to commercial status after years of Brian honing his craft since he was in high school. Kingdom Brewing held an open house this past weekend and participated in the Bean and Brew Fest at Jay Peak Resort.
Jennifer explained how beer is made, from taking a couple of hundred pounds of grain and turning into mash. After an hour, the liquid is pumped into a brew kettle and the unwanted by-product is fed to the beef herd.
Once the brew kettle is full, the liquid is boiled for an hour, depending on the beer they are making. The more you boil it the greater the degree of bitterness.
They then add hops. For flavor, they can include pumpkin, spruce tips (cut in the spring), molasses and other ingredients. The liquid is pumped into a fermenter, which chills the "mash" to 68 degrees.
Yeast is added and the "brew" (It's not beer yet.) ferments for several days depending on whether they are making ale or lager beer.
"The residual settles to the bottom and looks like lava peanut butter," said Jennifer Cook. "We can recycle it and use it to make more beer. The key to making a light beer is to use less grain, which means less alcohol is created and the beer has less calories."
Kingdom Brewing has two beers they offer year round called "Skinny Bitch" and "Out of Bounds," the former being a "session" ale, and the latter an "India Pale Ale." They also offer an unlimited variety of other flavors, depending on the season and demand.
The Cooks have the capacity to make "beer to taste" for special events. A "growler," which is four pints of beer, is sold both wholesale and retail and the company distributes the product to specialty bars that focus on micro breweries, natural food co-ops, and other sources.
They also sell beer in kegs and can cater to special events with advance notice. For a sample of their beer, visit their operation off VT RT 5 on Colburn Hill Road.
The Bean and Brew Festival held the same weekend at Jay was an excellent opportunity to introduce Brian's and Jennifer's beer to hundreds of participants. Jennifer estimated that, at the festival, they gave out 500 samples of different varieties of the beer they make.

About this font family
Blu is an innovative multilayered ribbon font which I developed at the Berlin Weissensee School of Art. Seemingly inspired by bicycle tires and paper streamers it fits many use cases brilliantly. Traditionally the use of multilayered fonts can be very clumsy, since you often need to duplicate textfields and then align them precisely on top of each other. Not so with Blu: It comes with an InDesign plugin for Windows and Mac which takes all the pain out of chromatic fonts.
You can find a one minute video of the plugin in action here.
