HIV infection and interventions such as HAART (highly-active antiretroviral therapy) are associated with dyslipidemia and increased markers of inflammatory and oxidative stress. These effects can hasten the progression towards AIDS and present serious cardiovascular complications. Therapeutic agents that can provide immune support with minimal side effects and/or reduce the adverse effects of HAART are in high demand worldwide. Such agents may help HIV patients to live a better quality of life, and may potentially improve the compliance with traditional therapies including HAART. This study is a single-center open-label design to evaluate the safety of ProAlgaZyme novel algae infusion and its effects in varying dosages on markers of immune status, dyslipidemia, inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with HIV or HIV/HBV co-infection, who may also be taking HAART.

There was a question about "Soy Sauce Chow Mein" brought up on this board. I have decided to show you my way of making this dish. I also have decided to cook it with some shredded chicken meats. You may use sliced beef, peeled shrimp, sliced BBQ pork or other meats of your choice. The process is very similar. Or leave it as plain soy sauce chow mein. They all taste wonderful.
CAUTION: The sequences shown illustrated using cooking wine over a pan of hot oil to induce a flame. If you have poor ventilation or do not want to risk fire hazards, skip the part of using cooking wine.
Serving Suggestion: 2 to 3
Main ingredients:
Cantonese egg noodles, 1 piece of boneless chicken breast (about 1/2 to 3/4 lb), 1/2 of a small onion, 2 green onions, bean sprouts (only a handful).
If the noodles are curled up into fist-size balls, use about 4 to 5 of them (about 1/2 to 3/4 lb). Uncoil and shake the noodles with your fingers. Make them a little bit fluffy.
Take the chicken breast. Trim off the fat. Cut up the meat into long and narrow strips.
Use a small mixing bowl to marinate the chicken meat.
Use 1 tsp of ground white pepper, 2 tsp of sesame oil, 1 tsp of ShaoHsing cooking wine, 2 tsp of light soy sauce, and 1 tsp of corn starch. Mix well. Set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil a small pot of water. When the water is boiling, add the noodles to the pot. Cook the noodles until el dante. Cooking time depends on the types of noodles used. If those are fresh noodles, which cook very fast, only 1 to 2 minutes. If those are dried noodles, it may take up to between 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust your cooking time accordingly. Do not overcook the noodles. Immediately remove the noodles and put them on a strainer. Run them under cold water and drain.
(Set noodles on a strainer and drain well.)
Prepare the other ingredients: Cut 1/2 onion into small wedges. Cut the green onions diagonally (trim the ends). (Not shown: wash and drain the bean sprouts). Use a small bowl, mix 3 tsp of light soy sauce (for saltiness) and 3 tsp of dark soy sauce (for rich flavor). Prepare about 1 to 2 tsp (no more) of ShaoHsing cooking wine (shown contained in the bottle cap).
Use a pan/wok, set for high heat over the stove. Use about 2 tblsp of cooking oil to velvet the marinated chicken. Cooking until the meats show no more pink color. Remove.
Note: The following sequences of photos occurred during a very short time frame. The technique is important. So I have slowed down the process for you, frame by frame.
Start with a clean pan/wok. Set for high heat over the stove. Add a generous amount of cooking oil, about 3 to 4 tblsp. Keep heating up the pan/wok until the oil start fuming. Don't start prematurely or else you won't achieve the desired taste. You have to do the following 5 steps very quickly.
First: add the wedged onions and sliced green onions onto the pan. Stir for about 3 seconds. Immediate add the capful of cooking wine. CAUTION: This will induce a big flame. If you don't have good ventilation or do not want to risk fire hazards, skip the cooking wine.
I tried to take a picture of the flame. But during the half a second that it flared up, the flame overexposed the image. I ended up with a picture where every looked dark.
Second: The flame will last for only about half a second. When it has subsided, immediately add the bowl of light soy and dark soy sauce mixture.
Third: The mixed soy sauce will boil almost instantly. That's a desireable effect. Stir once very quickly.
Fourth: Immediately, add the noodles to the pan.
Fifth: Also add the bean sprouts.
Stir the noodles and bean sprouts and toss. Make sure that the soy sauce is evenly distributed in the noodles. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Re-add the chicken shreds to the pan. Stir-fry for another minute or 2.
Finished. (Note: the quantity shown here is about half of the quantity made.)

WinAVR (tm) is a suite of executable, open source software development tools for the Atmel AVR series of RISC microprocessors hosted on the Windows platform. Includes the GNU GCC compiler for C and C++.
User Ratings
User Reviews
This software works exactly as advertised. Just keep in mind that it's command line, so I wouldn't call it easy to use. I had no problems with installation, not even with the PATH variable. If you are worried about PATH simply save the contents in case you have to restore it later. You can use the command "path > path.txt" to copy the contents to a text file.
This software is nice... Assuming you can get it to work for you. I read some of the reviews and I didn't want to take the risk of winavr overwriting my path directory, so I unchecked that option for the install. However, I couldn't use things like avrdude without changing the directory and running the executable. But, there is a work around that I want to share that could save someone a lot of time if they don't want to take a risk like me. Create a file called "winavr.bat" in "C:\WinAVR-20100110" with the following contents: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\WinAVR-20100110\bin;C:\WinAVR-20100110\utils\bin cmd If you want to use WinAVR, just simply double click on the .bat file and you'll be able to use avrdude, make, etc. I do not take credit for this. I would have just given the link, but I would never expect someone to click on a link in a review. Go to section 2.1.4 of this page: www.newae.com/sidechannel/cwdocs/installing.htmlokpoijoiu
This deleted my windows PATH environment variable. It should not be possible to download harmful software like this. See SuperUser "How to extract environment variables from system restore point, Windows 7 64-bit" for instructions on how to recover your deleted PATH variable.
Apparently the developer is not aware that Windows software should be installed in 'Program Files' or 'Program Files (x86)'. By default WinAVR is installed at the root. He allows installation to the standard directories, but when you install to these directories, the tools no longer work (probably because the developer does not know how to handle spaces and '('/')' in paths. These are allowed in Windows but not in Linux. The easiest fix for this error is to install in standard directory, and then create a symbolic link at the root. (something like: mklink /D C:\WinAVR C:\Program Files (x86)\WinAVR), and then fix up the environment variables to point to the right place. Also, the avr-gcc -mstrict-X option is not supported in the latest trunk binary, which ends up breaking a lot of make files.
CAUTION: The installer clobbers %PATH%. There's a path1.log file stored along side the uninstaller which you can use to rescue your %PATH% Environment Variable, but it will be deleted if you uninstall (in that case, your only recourse is to do a System Restore).

This includes all six films and the Clone Wars spin-offs. Every vehicle I can think seems to have been produced as part of a kit at some point. Are there any that haven't?
As far as I know, all of the most common vehicles have been produced, but I could be forgetting something. There are many obscure vehicles which have not been produced, but I don't see any reason to try to list them all. Some examples would be many of the pod racers from Episode I, many of the hundreds of vehicles shown on Coruscant, or several of the speeders seen in the Mos Eisley approach in Episode IV.
The most notable vehicle that I can think of that has not been produced to my knowledge is the Nebulon B Frigate featured in Episode V and VI:
There are quite a few: The naboo silver cruisers- i think there where three in all- none produced. Several speeders in ep2 all seen in the city and several transporters too. The jedi speeders, some have been made but not in all the colours seen in the movies. And as for the clone wars series the list becomes lengthy...
Millions! Separatist War Ship,UT-AT, Republic Assault Ship, Umbara Military Canon, and many many ships from the Clone Wars TV show (From Arc's this season mostly)

Captives of Sorcery...
It began as just another evening of fantasy gaming with James, Karl, Andrea, and the rest ready to assume their various roles as wizard, cleric, warrior, or thief. But sorcerous gamemaster Professor Deighton had something else planned for this unsuspecting group of college students. And the "game" soon became a matter of life and death as the seven adventurers found themselves transported to an alternate world and into the bodies of the actual characters they had been pretending to be.
Cast into a land where magic worked all too well, dragons were a fire-breathing menace, and only those quick enough with a sword or their wits survived, the young gamers faced a terrible task. For the only way they would ever see Earth again was if they could find the legendary Gate Between Worlds - a place guarded by the most terrifying and deadly enemy of all....

"Great Memories From My Teenage Years!"
I first read this book as a kid and I loved the idea of it being based on kids playing a D&D like game and getting transported into it.
Dream Park by Larry Niven. It is another great example of people playing a role-playing game in real life.
Fantasy Becomes Reality!
If you are a lover of dungeons and dragons or role-playing games you will enjoy this book. I hope the other books in this series will be available soon.
"A Favorite Fantasy Series Of Mine From Long Ago..."
I've just completed a long review for Jordan's Last novel, so in fairness, I must keep this one brief.
I first came across this book decades ago, and it pulled me into a fantasy series that offered great reading and loads of fun. It starts a bit slow, but then it builds into a wonderfully detailed fantasy world without being tedious, and sets a journey that will take the entire series to complete. It deals with modern and timeless moral issues, and does it very well.
This series is one of the earlier "modern people thrust into a fantasy realm" that really had meat to it, real "bite" similar to Andre Norton's earlier effort, Quag Keep. Rich characters, great plot, a detailed world and just plain good writing. Machiavellian and magical, and I like both together. This series has it in spades.
The narrator Silverstein is great for this work, and I hope to hear more of him in future listens.
I liked this first Audible novel in the series so much, I bought the entire series, and I do NOT regret it.
If you like Dungeons and Dragons, if you play dungeon crawler games, if you like action in a fantasy realm, you'll enjoy this. A LOT.
Plain and simple. it's GOOD. Enjoy!
I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
"A Self Image Cast in Stone Could Shatter"
This book starts out sounding like a teen book, but it is not. Though details are not usually given there is gang rape and murder. I am one generation too old to have played D&D, but my kids did and I do believe I would have enjoyed it. I believe gamers will like this book better then those who are not gamers.
I found I had to but my common sense on the shelf. In the same way that Burroughs gets Carter to Mars, similarly JR gets this group to this fantasy world. I did not really like the characters in this, most of them seemed to be selfish and rude to each other. I found it hard to believe that a group of kids this rude to each other would continue to meet on a regular basis and spend time with each other. The rudeness and selfishness got worse as they became there characters, but that was probably on purpose to show the thinking of medieval people.
I thought I was going to give up on this book several times, but when it would get to the end of the chapter I found I wanted to know what was going to happen next. These kids go on a quest and nothing goes easy for them. The author does not cope out, by giving them special powers that work wonderfully helping them escape at the last minute. Most of the time there inability to work their magic properly gets them in deeper.
I don't know how to advise you on this book. Some of you are going to love it and some are going to hate it. I give the story three stars and I am not going to listen to the rest in the series.
"Didn't enjoy the language and cruelty"
Crude language and content. Too much for me, probably not an issue for many listeners.
No. It all begins here. I expect more of the same.
They were all pretty good.
I'd change the language and modify a few scenes.
Narrator was very good.
I also expect that listeners interested in following a D&D type story will like this.
"A dark story about flawed people who make mistakes"
I read this series as a young adult and enjoyed it, so I decided to take a stroll down memory lane and listen to it again as an adult.
It's a rare genre that I have a soft spot for: a group of college-aged kids who roleplay together end up in the game for real, no longer playing characters but actually living their lives, with the knowledge and skills from their own lives. It's a pretty awesome idea - take your average teenager and give them the body and skills of Conan the Barbarian, or Merlin the Wizard, and you have an idea of what fun it could be. But that's not what this book is about. The fun is temporary - the book focuses on how flawed everything is - the world, its people, and even the main characters.
The characters in it are all flawed people. They're not BAD people, but they're also not without problems. The novel stresses the idea that people can grow out of childishness and into heroes. But in the meantime, you get a group of people who can be self-absorbed, petty, and rubbing against each other in the worst possible ways. There are love triangles, unresolved issues, and lots more going on behind the scenes.
The whole book is full of mistakes the characters make - some accidental, some caused by their personality quirks, some because they are seeking to become heroes - that cause bad things to happen to them, from losing their spellbooks right away to a main character dying to the girls getting raped. THIS BOOK IS DARK. Bad things happen to good people. It's not always the fault of the protagonists, but they usually contribute to it through naivete and mistakes. While the worst events take place off-screen, the effects aren't just brushed aside - the book dwells on them and how big events change people, and not always for the better.
The book gets better the more you read, but it can be slow going. The first chapter in particular was a little painful to listen to - it introduced each of the main characters as they went to their weekly gaming session. With a whole group to introduce, you can't really get to know any of them, so they ended up feeling like two-dimensional stereotypes. That may have been on purpose, though - as the characters go through strife and suffering in the fantasy world, we see them grow up and become more three-dimensional. And the heroes begin to realize that the fantasy world they are so eager to leave needs someone from our world to bring some badly needed enlightenment - at the point of a sword. Thus beginning a series.
In terms of writing style and reader performance, both were a bit lacking at first. The reader had to speak dozens of different voices from different genders, ages, and races, and did a fine job of keeping them all separate and distinct, yet some of them sounded a little too comical. However, as the story went on, I began to notice this less and less. In terms of literary quality - well, this is no great American novel, but the writing style isn't horrid, either. While it is tough to get through the first two chapters, and while the group still seems selfish and childish halfway through the book, it all starts to seem worth it once the group meets the dragon halfway through the book. Then, the book takes the rug from beneath your feet, and changes everything in the last chapters of the book.
This is a book about growing up, about losing your innocence, and about redefining what heroism means. It's also a book about roleplaying rules, roleplaying groups and roleplaying quests. if you're not into fantasy or you're not into roleplaying games, I'd suggest giving this a pass. But if you're into roleplaying games, especially tabletop ones, and if you've ever wondered what it would be like to travel back in time or into your favourite movie, this could be the book for you.
Love to listen to my favorite genres.
"Fantastic! Narration and story"
Yes! I loved the print version, but the narration was charmingly done.
The vibrancy of the descriptions made me feel as if I were there. The story grabbed my attention and did nog let go until it was done.
His ability to honestly bring the characters to life.
I sat on the edge listening as the scene unfolded. My heart broke for the girls after the rape.
I am looking forward to the next books in the series.
"Good story line"
I loved this series when I was a teenager and belonged to the Science fiction book club.
I have read around 5 of his books and really like his writings.
"As good as the first time I read the book"
I adore the whole concept of this story
Much like the book, it took me a while to get back into it. but Half way through it picks up and the rest of the series does not let down, you just have to struggle to that halfway point
"Audible, Please GetTthe Rest Of Them,,,"
I highly recommend this series to fan of the fantasy genre who are looking for a fun filler series while waiting for the heavier stuff, ie, Stormlight, Demon Cycle, Song of Ice and FIre, to drop. Any ex or current RPG'ers should check them out, too. I never read or even heard of this series when I was younger so was pleasantly surprised by what I found, They are fun and even a little gritty at times. Check them out.
"Not the best in the fantasy genre"
I wouldn't, the book reads like an immature Role Playing session, the characters are silly, and really immature (although they are teenagers, they read a little bit more like kids really), the whole story is nonsensical.
Not on the genre but I won't be reading anything else from this series
I can't really think of anything remarkable
Please don't
You might get a kick or two from some scenes if you have ever played RPGs, that's really the only thing that kept me listening, I was hoping it to improve a little by the end, but I really wish I had returned this book.
The performance is great as usual, good reader, but it doesn't rescue the story.

A majority of millennials aged 18 to 29 do not approve of the Affordable Care Act, the performance of President Barack Obama or the U.S. Congress, according to a survey conducted by the Harvard Institute of Politics.
Reactions to the results in the north country reveal similar frustrations, although there are supporters of President Obamas signature healthcare legislation.
The survey, released by the institute Wednesday, reveals disillusionment with the political establishment, a phenomenon polling director John Della Volpe said was not surprising given past data.
Young Americans hold the president, Congress and the federal government in less esteem almost by the day, and the levels of engagement they are having in politics are also on the decline, Mr. Della Volpe said in a news release.
The Harvard survey found that a solid majority of millennials disapprove of the health care reform package regardless of what it is called 56 percent disapprove of the Affordable Care Act, 57 percent disapprove of Obamacare and 52 percent of millennials would vote to recall all members of Congress if they could.
President Obamas job approval rating was pegged at 41 percent the lowest since the start of his presidency, according to the survey.
Politicians, political hopefuls and students from Northern New York, some millennials and some not, voiced their viewpoints Wednesday.
For me personally, I think its a bad thing, said Jefferson Community College student Stephanie M. Weed, 23, of the Affordable Care Act.
Ms. Weed is putting herself through college by working at a local restaurant and said her employer cut her hours because if she works more than 30 hours a week, the restaurant will have to provide health insurance, which would be too expensive.
Ms. Weed is uninsured and said that she has not yet tried to sign up for insurance through the Affordable Care Acts online insurance marketplaces.
Im waiting until after finals, she said.
She was joined in her criticism of the law by Madelyn Y. Cabrera, 19, who is studying criminal justice at JCC in hopes of becoming a state trooper.
But Mrs. Cabrera has health insurance through her husband, who is a soldier.
She objects to the law on more philosophic terms. She doesnt think the government should mandate that people buy insurance.
Mrs. Cabrera also said she felt that federal representatives were out of touch with their constituents.
They are not enforcing popular democracy as much as they should, they are elite as I see it. They enforce things that people dont want, Mrs. Cabrera said.
Neither Ms. Weed nor Mrs. Cabrera voted for President Obama.
For engineering student John W. Pettit, 19, however, the Affordable Care Act is a good thing.
I think its a good use of tax dollars, which is a lot better than what theyre being used for, Mr. Pettit said. Its a lot better for people getting access to healthcare. Its better for more people.
Mr. Pettit said that he was mostly satisfied with President Obamas performance in office.
Hes sticking to most of the ideals he presented when he was trying to get elected, Mr. Pettit said. Hes doing the best he can.
Mr. Pettit faulted Congress for the perceived dysfunction in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, who voted for the Affordable Care Act, said he empathized with frustrations felt by millennials with the implementation of the legislation but that he was standing by his vote.
The healthcare law will be beneficial in the long run, Mr. Owens said.
Im a bit frustrated too. Im not very happy with the rollout either, Mr. Owens said. But people are not focused on what were trying to accomplish, which is lower costs, better healthcare. Those are the things I need to be focused on long-term.
For Republican Congressional candidate Elise M. Stefanik, who is aiming at Mr. Owenss seat in 2014, the survey results highlight the anti-incumbent sentiment being felt across the country.
What really struck me is that less than one in five young adults thinks the country is heading in the right direction. They find the failure of leadership in Washington goes beyond partisanship, Ms. Stefanik said.
At 29, Ms. Stefanik just made the millennial cut. She said she was a member of the Harvard institutes survey committee while she was a student there.
And for former St. Lawrence County Emergency Services director Joseph M. Gilbert, who resigned in September to run as a Republican for the 21st Congressional District, the survey brought much needed attention to long-standing problems with the size of the federal government and the Affordable Care Act.
The only surprise here is that it took so long for the Millennials to wake up to whats going on. But, instead of withdrawing from the political process, we need these Americans involved and engaged to change the system they are so fed up with, Mr. Gilbert said.
Millennials are also concerned about student debt and balancing the federal budget, according to the survey.
They are unsure about the legacy of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, who revealed secrets about the NSAs domestic data collection program: 22 percent of those surveyed associated him with the word patriot, 22 percent with the word traitor, and 52 percent said they were unsure about his legacy.
Mr. Della Volpe said the results should not be interpreted as apathy on the part of young voters, though engagement appears to be on the decline.
People are disappointed because they are passionate, Mr. Della Volpe said during a conference call about the survey results. They care deeply about their country and their government.

UNLAWFUL POSSESSION - WEST STOCKHOLM - Massena-based state police charged Cassandra M. Graeff, 20, of Lancaster, Pa., with unlawful possession of marijuana following a traffic stop at 10:38 p.m. Friday on state Route 11B in the town of Stockholm. Graeff was found in possession of approximately 13.7 grams of marijuana as well as paraphernalia used for smoking marijuana, troopers said. She was issued an appearance ticket for town of Stockholm Court. Graeff was also ticketed for speeding and failure to keep right.
UNLAWFUL POSSESSION - MASSENA - Massena-based state police charged Lisa A. Moylan, 33, of Ottawa, Ont., with unlawful possession of marijuana and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle following a secondary inspection at 12:20 p.m. Saturday at the U.S. Port of Entry in Rooseveltown. She was turned over to state police by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. She told border protection officers she had a small amount of marijuana in her purse. The marijuana was located in a plastic baggie in her purse, they said. Her operating privileges had been suspended in New York state on Nov. 2, 2008 for failing to pay a fine in the town of Orleans and on Aug. 25, 2013 for failing to pay a fine in the town of Pamelia. Moylan was arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and fined $25 and a $93 surcharge after pleading guilty to a reduced count of simple unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. She was also ordered to pay an additional $125 surcharge after pleading guilty to the unlawful possession of marijuana count. She paid her fines and was released.
FELONY DWI - WADDINGTON - State police have released additional information about an alcohol-related accident earlier this week that led to the driver of the vehicle struck by an allegedly drunk driver being transported to Massena Memorial Hospital.
Massena-based state police charged Dustin S. Grape, 30, of Lisbon with a felony count of driving while intoxicated following an ATV accident reported at 12:30 a.m. Thursday on state Route 37 in the town of Waddington. He was also ticketed for failure to keep right, unlicensed operation of a vehicle, failure to produce insurance and operation of an unregistered all-terrain vehicle following the incident that was reported as a personal injury accident. Troopers said Grape was westbound on Route 37 when he failed to keep right, struck the left side of another vehicle and was ejected from his ATV.
Grape refused to take a breathalyzer test. The driving while intoxicated count was elevated to a felony after troopers determined Grape had two driving while intoxicated convictions in the past 10 years.
Troopers said Grape was westbound when he drifted left and struck an eastbound vehicle driven by Rebecca Plourde, 26, Massena. She was taken by Waddington Rescue Squad to Massena Memorial Hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries. Grape was reportedly not injured in the collision.
Grape was arraigned in Waddington Town Court and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.

He should get a Golden Dive award. After Costa Rica got killed off I wasn't going to watch any more. Today's game (I thought Germany by 2-0) but it was a total rout and i was so happy. Had hoped that Colombia or Mexico would advance further. Not to be.
The Dutch because of Arjen Robben, Netherlands deserves to lose (he has fouled out too many good players). Go Argentina! Too many floppers out there.

The timeless sounds of coated heads are the standard for jazz and pop.
Super-2 drumheads sound louder, fuller, and more powerful than conventional two-ply heads. They have great attack, projection, and depth unlike any other drumheads. The texture coating gives these heads a mellow attack and warm, dry sound. The patented Safe-T-Loc hoop prevents the head from slipping and the "Sound Curve" collar design provides "Responsive Tuning." With "Responsive Tuning," one turn of the drum key and Super-2 heads react. A free tuning sheet is enclosed with each Super-2 drumhead. Attack, projection, resonance, and "Responsive Tuning" are what Super-2's are all about.
Classic jazz sounds for your kit. Order today.

DERBY – Ann Jones of Derby is running for the Delinquent Tax Collector job now held by Mary Ann Tetreault. Voters decide every March who will hold the one-year position.
Jones said she just learned about the position last year when Tetreault was elected. Previously she thought it was a job that automatically went to the town clerk. After learning more about it and the process involved, she has decided to go for it in her first time seeking public office.
Read more about Ann Jones and her decision to run in Friday's edition of the Newport Daily Express for Feb. 8, 2013.

MASSENA A December 2010 fire destroyed North Country Millworks, a custom millshop owned by Creig L. and Barbara Donnelly on South Raquette Road, Massena.
An equipment donation from a stranger in Virginia helped them get back on their feet.
North County Millworkss main interest is producing cabinetry and moldings that cant be bought in a store. Its something it has done for 17 years, according to Mr. Donnelly, who follows in his fathers footsteps and has more than 30 years of experience in cabinet building.
He builds high-end items, Mrs. Donnelly said.
But on Dec. 29, 2010, their business went up in smoke.
We lost everything in the shop, Mr. Donnelly said.
There was a loud boom that night and then the fire struck. Volatile fumes in the shops painting booth combusted and caused the blaze. Paint thinner, varnish and other flammable liquids in the shop, along with piles of wood used to make cabinets, made it difficult to extinguish the blaze.
The road back wasnt easy. Mrs. Donnelly said they had paid their insurance through an escrow account with their mortgage company, and that company let the insurance policy lapse, unbeknownst to theDonnellys until after the fire.
Their policy ended up canceled, and they were getting nowhere in trying to recover their losses, she said.
They kept putting us off and putting us off, she said.
Then they received a letter that the policy had been sold to another mortgage company. And in the meantime, they were unable to touch the pile of rubble that had been their business, she said.
We wanted to dig right in, Mrs. Donnelly said.
They eventually got the situation ironed out and were able to begin thinking about reopening their doors. But all of their equipment was still a loss.
All hope wasnt lost, though, thanks to a stranger in Manassas, Va.
The Donnellys were members of the Cabinet Members Association, as was the Manassas man, Matt Sbitani. After the fire, the Cabinet Members Association president saw a news clipping about the blaze and posted it in the annual newsletter.
Thats when the Donnellys heard from Mr. Sbitani, who had an offer. An email message he sent the Donnellys expressed regrets about the fire.
The most important thing is that no one was hurt, he wrote.
And then he offered assistance.
If you have not found a replacement for your equipment and machinery, we would like to offer you our equipment from our previous workshop, he wrote. All is in good working condition and you are welcome to just come with a large truck to pick it all up. We would like to offer it at no cost to you in hopes that you will find a new beginning.
Friends and family made donations and raised moneyfor the trip.
One of the tools in his old shop was a sliding table saw, Mrs. Donnelly said. Creig always dreamed of having one. He got his dream tool.
Today, the business is open and offering everything from motorized cabinets and touch systems for drawers to custom moldings and cabinetry.
We arent totally back on our feet, but we wouldnt have been able to get back into operation if it wasnt for the help of friends, family and a stranger in Virginia, Mrs. Donnelly said. We owe him and his wife everything.

CHAMPION As has been tradition for more than 50 years, Old Home Day in Champion will be held Thursday in the hamlet. The day features a parade starting at 11 a.m. followed by a chicken barbecue at the Champion Grange 18.
The parade is a bit unusual in that it can be seen coming and going. Starting at the Champion Fire Company, the parade crosses Route 126, down Church Street to Route 47 toward Hillside Cemetery, turns around and heads back to the fire hall. Everything from children on bicycles to farm machinery to vintage cars to firetrucks can be seen in the small parade.
Right after the parade, Grange members will begin serving barbecue chicken at a cost of $9 to adults and $5 for children younger than 12. For more information on the barbecue, call 773-5133.
According to town of Champion Historian Lynn M. Thornton, the grange building originally was built as the First Congregational Church in 1812-17 on the hilltop now known as Village Green Park.
The church was taken down, removed to the crossroads, rebuilt and rededicated in 1841, the historian said. In about 1910, the building became the property of the Champion Grange Number 18 and is still the home of an active local Grange. The bell still in the tower was donated by General Henry Champion.
The Independence Day celebration also will include an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hiram Hubbard Homestead. Across from the Fire Hall along Route 126, the stone building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is owned by the 4 River Valleys Historical Society. The former home of the hamlets founder is being rehabilitated by the society to act as its headquarters, a museum and a research center.
Visitors will be able to see the progress that has been made to date, Mrs. Thornton said.

Detailed Description:
Current antifungal treatments have low cure rates and numerous side effects. A new treatment method, pulsed laser, has been purported to have high rates of treatment in a much shorter time frame than other treatments. While the treatment method has become increasingly popular, studies of its efficacy are few. The investigators hope to learn the cure rate of a novel treatment that is being used by more and more patients. This knowledge will be essential to physicians as they consider employing this new technology in their treatment methods.

By KRIS KOHLERSun Advocate reporter
Members of the Utah Department of Corrections office in Price were deputized by the United States Marshals Service last month.
The action will make the adult probation officers members of the joint criminal apprehension team and add to the nationally growing dragnet geared toward cracking down on dangerous criminals that attempt to elude authorities.
The deputizing of the officers will enable them with the right to make arrests anywhere on United States soil, including Indian reservations.
According to adult probation regional adminstrator Richard Laursen, without having jurisdiction limits, the officers will be able to cut through a lot of red tape, ultimately making it easier to apprehend dangerous felons and save valuable time and money in the process.
Along with the expansion of jurisdiction, the corrections department will be able to utilize vital technology through the federal marshals office that was not available prior to the partnership.
The adult probation officers who were deputized include Cletis Steele, Jeff Wood, James Weaver, Wade Allinson, Tom Cosmack, Jared Freeman and Richard Laursen.
"We missed this year's annual event known as Federal and Local Cops Organized Nationally, but will be participating next year," said Laursen. "FALCON provides cohesiveness between the region's different agencies and focuses on one specific area at a time, allowing the joint task force to make the maximum amount of arrests due to collective efforts."
Each year, the number of law enforcement agencies participating in the fugitive roundup has increased.
"Known throughout the state, JCAT is a marshals led, multi-agency fugitive unit composed of officers who work together in a coordinated effort to locate and arrest fugitives," said James Thompson, chief deputy U.S. Marshals. "Their combined individual strengths, resources, investigative techniques and cohesiveness result in successful operations. This year, there were officers from 35 federal, state, county and city law enforcement agencies who worked tirelessly in an effort to make Utah safer by taking these criminals into custody."
According to Laursen, the initiative represented the fourth effort in a continuing series of national fugitive apprehension missions. The effort has resulted in the collective capture of more than 36,500 dangerous fugitive felons. FALCON proved the efficiency of the cooperative law enforcement model, which seeks to multiply the positive impact of law enforcement at all jurisdictional levels.
FALCON II and III reaffirmed and built upon the success of the initial nationwide operation, achieving comparable levels of total arrests, while each operation covered only one half of the nation.
According to a press release by the U.S Marshals Office on June 24, FALCON II and III innovated in another important way by incorporating a targeted approach to combating a particular category of fugitive offender.
The results of the innovation speaks for itself as FALCON II and III investigators successfully removed more than 2,700 dangerous sex offenders and 520 violent gang members from America's communities.
According to U.S. marshal officials, project FALCON continued to promote the important efforts this year, but took on a more focused, long-term approach by targeting 27 cities and regions experiencing elevated levels of criminal activity.
Working in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice, the National Center for Missing
