Goods vehicles (lorries, HGVs, vans etc)
Key facts:
- In Great Britain, goods vehicles (excluding light vans) make up only around 3.7% of non-motorway traffic, but are on average involved in around a fifth of cyclists' road deaths per year.
- In urban areas, HGVs make up 2% of non-motorway traffic, and are involved in 24% of cyclists' deaths.
- In London specifically, where HGVs make up around 3.5% of traffic, almost half of the 44 cyclist fatalities between 2011-13 (inclusive) were as a result of a collision with a lorry. Of these 21, ten involved a collision with a left-turning lorry.
- A cyclist is much more likely to die if they are in collision with a lorry than if they are in collision with a car: on average, cyclists are killed in around a fifth of serious injury collisions involving heavy goods vehicles, but in just over 2% of cyclist/car collisions.
- On average, HGVs are involved in 14% of GB pedestrian fatalities per year.
CTC View (formal statement of CTC's policy):
- Goods vehicles pose a disproportionate threat to cyclists. Action must be taken by national and local government, hauliers and fleet operators, the police, the Health and Safety Executive and other enforcement agencies, as well as by individual lorry drivers and cyclists themselves.
- Lorries pose risk to both cyclists and pedestrians, so the focus should be on lorries and lorry drivers, not just on cyclists. Many of the following measures that would help protect cyclists, would benefit pedestrians too (NB these are not necessarily in priority order given the need for more research into their relative effectiveness – see below):
- Ensuring that vehicles are safe and that drivers are fit to drive them. This needs to be supported by rigorous enforcement of driving and vehicle standards by the responsible agencies.
- Cycle awareness training for drivers or, better still, actual cycle training.
- Training for cyclists to help them interact with goods vehicles as safely as possible.
- Publicity campaigns for drivers and cyclists alike, highlighting the hazards and how to avoid them.
- Designing and specifying lorries to provide clear direct vision between the driving position and any pedestrians or cyclists near to the vehicle, including fitting bigger windows. To complement this (or where better direct vision is genuinely impossible to deliver effectively), other safety devices should be specified and fitted, e.g.: sensors and alarms, in-cab cameras; mirrors/lenses; side guards; external warning signs; and intelligent speed adaptation.
- Road layouts and street furniture (e.g. 'Trixi' mirrors) that facilitate safe interaction.
- Traffic management measures, routing and distribution strategies to mitigate the impact of lorries on places where people cycle or want to cycle. These include banning lorries on busy streets at certain times of the day while permitting night-time deliveries instead; establishing distribution centres on the edge of urban areas where lorries can pass loads onto smaller vehicles for onward delivery; and carrying more freight by rail and water.
- Promoting freight cycles for goods distribution in urban areas.
- Procurement policies, especially from public authorities, ensuring that the supply and delivery of goods and services takes the safety of vulnerable road users into account.
- Research into the efficacy of all the above measures needs to be done, with the Department for Transport (DfT), Transport for London (TfL), other local authorities and operators all collaborating EU-wide, as required.
- CTC opposes moves to introduce longer and/or heavier lorries on the UK roads.
- Individual haulage companies and the associations that represent them should develop, publish, maintain and monitor strategies, action plans and fleet management practices that minimise the risks goods vehicles pose to cyclists. Where appropriate, these should be produced jointly with local authorities and enforcement agencies and be based on consultation with cyclists' representatives.

MASSENA - The St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation announced Thursday that their Dwight D. Eisenhower Visitors Center at the Eisenhower Lock will open for the season today.
But, at least for now, the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce wont have a presence with its gift shop.
The Visitors Center will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, including weekends, through Labor Day, Sept. 2.
It normally opens on Memorial Day, but was delayed this year for on-going facility maintenance to repair damages caused by the winter weather. In the interim, visitors were asked to view ships from the Eisenhower Lock North Side Observation Area, which remains open through the year.
The repairs included replacement of the main buildings roof and repairs to the ground floor of the center that suffered water damage. The 50-year-old structure sustained the damage due to a roof failure that is also the main level of the observation deck.
They had major ice and snow damage and had to wait for repair. Its been rectified. The Seaway did a good job. They did what they had to do. They needed the sunny weather (to complete the roof repair),chamber Executive Director Michael J. Gleason said.
The opening delay, however, meant calls to the chamber office from visitors.
Weve had a lot of calls from people wondering what was going on. People are coming down for day trips and wondering why the lock store was not open. People are coming from all over the place, he said.
Now, Seaway officials say, theyre ready to allow visitors in, giving them an opportunity to watch commercial and cruise ship transits from around the world from an observation deck. Guides are also available to provide additional information to tourists.
Seaway officials said hundreds of ships from all over the world transit the St. Lawrence Seaway annually, carrying a wide variety of cargoes including grains, iron ore, coal, steel stone, steel slabs and project cargoes.
Up-to-date information on estimated vessel transit times is available by calling (315) 769-2422 for a voice recording of that days projected lockage schedule. Additional information is on their website at www.greatlakes-seaway.com/en/navigating/map/index.html. That map updates every 15 minutes with details on those ships currently in transit within the Seaway System.
Under security measures which were implemented after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, visitors will be asked to leave all packages, bags and backpacks in their vehicles. Any necessary items that need to be carried into the viewing area must be presented for inspection or for checking by a metal detecting wand.
While visitors will be able to view the ships, they may not find the chambers gift shop open for business.
Mr. Gleason said it boils down to funding for the employees to man the shop. He said they had sent a letter to Seaway officials explaining that they would not be able to run the store because were short of funds to run it.
They, like some local municipalities including the town of Massena, are waiting for the arrival of casino gaming compact funds from the state. That money, which the chamber receives from the town of Massena, is used to pay the employees who staff the gift shop.
If the New York state money comes in, it might change the equation. We cant work without that money. The amount of money on payroll that we have to pay out would not be enough to cover it, Mr. Gleason said.
Whether the chamber will be able to offer its Eisenhower Lock gift shop this year still remains to be seen, but chamber Board President Susan E. Stiles had wondered during the boards June meeting if it would be financially worth it to open for one month if the funding isnt available until August.
Instead, the chamber will devote its resources to the upcoming Bass Anglers Sportsman Societys Evan Williams Bourbon Showdown from Aug. 8 to 11 in Whittaker Park, Waddington. There, theyll have a booth set up to sell some of their items. Other chambers from throughout the area will also be there for the event.
Itll just be a 10-foot by 10-foot selling spot. We have all that stuff to sell from the lock store. Its going to be a lot of work for four days, but at least well have that outlet, Mr. Gleason said.

LISBON – The Lisbon Central School marching band left for Washington, D.C., Tuesday, headed to participate in the national Independence Day parade on Thursday.
U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, met with the marching band as they prepared to board buses and listened to an impromptu performance of New York, New York.
You should really take the opportunity to soak this up, Mr. Owens said to the students. Youre bringing the culture of the north country to Washington to share with the rest of the country.
He said the Lisbon band will gain from the experience.
What theyll learn is, even though they come from a small, rural community, they can compete with people from around the rest of the country, he said. It will give them self-confidence in the next stage of their life.
The trip is being attended by 51 Lisbon musicians ranging in age level from fourth grade to recent graduates.
Director Glenn O. Roberts said Mr. Owens, who nominated the band for the performance, was central to getting Lisbon involved in the D.C. ceremony.
The parade will begin at 11:45 a.m. at Constitution Avenue and 7th Street.
To kick off their season like this, its a huge accomplishment for the school, for the community, for the north country, drum line coordinator Bob Bice said. Its going to be a real good experience for them.
Leeann Dawley, a member of the color guard who graduated from Lisbon Central School in June, said the chance to perform in the Independence Day Parade is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Its an honor.
Another recent graduate and color guard member, Kaela P. Erwin, said she is very excited to participate in the celebration, especially coming from a small town.

CLAYTON Crowds lined the side of a drag strip on Graves Street as Richard D. Filkins pushed down hard on his accelerator, shooting a steady stream of white smoke from the rear of his vehicle.
Competing in the May Pop Burnout competition, Mr. Filkins admitted he hadnt thought of fully popping a tire on his raised silver 2000 Jeep before he entered earlier in the week.
Then I saw the trophy and got giddy, he said.
Spinning his rear tires against a metal plate as Clayton Fire Department members sprayed down the plate and his car, he got the result he was looking for about two minutes into his run. His back right tire popped, delivering a healthy bang that sent the crowd of more than 200 into raucous applause.
It scared the crap right out of me, Mr. Filkins said. His efforts earned him the second-place trophy for the event.
A series of drag race and burnout competitions served as the finale of the Vintage & Classic Street Meet held this weekend in the village. On Saturday, dozens of classic cars of all makes and generations lined the villages downtown, drawing thousands of people to the village.
Off season, sometimes theres not a lot going on, and usually the weathers really beautiful, said Linda L. Brown, a member of the Clayton Chamber of Commerce, which organized the event. Everybody likes to come out and look at a nice car or truck or snowmobile. Its just something for the whole family to enjoy.
The event is in its 16th year. However, winners of Sundays events were presented 15th anniversary trophies, as last years competitions were canceled because of inclement weather.
One of the big winners Sunday was Cesar A. Portela, who took home top prize in both the Best Burnout and May Pop categories with his 1997 GMC plow truck, which he entered for the first time this year and decorated with a collection of goose decoys he used for hunting.
Theyre just for show, he said. People like the geese.
People also liked the modifications Mr. Portela made to his truck, which he said had 330,000 miles on it, including special tires that emitted pink smoke during his burnouts, and a second engine in the trucks bed for additional noise.
A mechanic for the city of Watertown, Mr. Portela was able to work out an unusual method to keep his engine and transmission cool, running a line through a cooler attached to the front of the truck containing 12 bags of ice.
By the end of his burnouts, he said, every bag he placed was nothing more than puddles.
Another highlight Sunday was a specially modified car that lit gas it shot from its rear, sending flames at least 10 feet high into the air.
Somebody have a hot dog? said Donald E. Lingenfeller, the chambers president and master of ceremonies Sunday.
Video from the days events can be seen at http://wdt.me/uFRTXU.

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators are mulling whether to pursue a vendor management system for Highway Department parts to save money even while the Civil Service Employees Association is planning a grievance if the county goes ahead with the system.
Legislators recently listened to a presentation by Ronald P. Tiderencel, Otsego County highway superintendent, on his favorable experience over the past six years with Genuine Parts Co., the parent company of National Automotive Parts Association, as the manager of his parts inventory.
I know it saves money, Mr. Tiderencel said. Volume pricing is their biggest savings.
Mr. Tiderencel said his parts room was in disarray when he contracted with GPC. The company did a complete inventory, disposed of obsolete parts and implemented a system that used up county-owned parts before switching to those that it purchases at discount.
Other savings come from not having to send someone out to make a pickup or not paying a delivery charge, and from curtailing thievery.
The shrinkage just about went down to nothing, Mr. Tiderencel said.
Purchases from local stores are still possible, he said.
They will buy from whomever we instruct them to buy from, Mr. Tiderencel said.
The vendor contract also allowed more time in the actual running of the shop rather than on parts management, Mr. Tiderencel said.
He estimated his countys savings at more than $100,00 annually.
But not everyone was enthusiastic.
This would violate the exclusivity of our bargaining unit so we would be filing a grievance, said Amy J. Simmons, president of the county CSEA. Weve had a parts person for the last 25 years.
The St. Lawrence County Highway Department has a parts manager, but her time is spent mostly on finding the best price, without the time to keep detailed track of inventory, Superintendent Toby W. Bogart said.
Having a vendor handle parts would mean the county would not have to maintain an inventory worth about $500,000. Other work could be found for the parts manager at the same salary, Mr. Bogart said.
The contract also could be opened up to other government agencies, Mr. Tiderencel said.
Legislators agreed to consider a request for proposals, probably in April, allowing Mr. Bogart more time to come up with potential savings and to answer other questions, such as how sales with local businesses could be affected and how the countys inventory would be handled.
Well give him a month to do that, said Legislator Donald A. Peck, R-Gouverneur, chairman of the county Highway Committee. I think we should open a dialogue with the union and see if we can reach an agreement.

This One Goes to 11 Ale will be released in bottles and on draft
Our Batch Series ended at 10,000, but This One Goes to 11 Ale is a bit louder.
Brewed to commemorate our 11,000th batch, this Imperial Red uses hops from the Southern Hemisphere, but also features those from the Pacific Northwest, including a freshly named and newly released varietal.
The official description:
This One Goes to 11 Ale opens with bright, juicy aromas such as tropical fruits & ripe cherries, largely derived from massive kettle & dry-hop additions of Southern Hemisphere hop varieties such as Galaxy, Motueka, and Summer. The citrus & resinous pine notes of the Pacific Northwest hop family are also well represented, making their presence known through Simcoe, Citra, and the newly released Mosaic varietal, just to name a few. A wide range of specialty malts anchor the hops to this Imperial Red Ale, contrasting the assertive bitterness & juicy aromatics with a robust, toasty depth of flavor. Fermented with Bell's signature house ale yeast, This One Goes to 11 Ale finishes with a lingering warmth.
Coming in at 11% ABV, this limited single batch release will be available in both bottles (six-packs) and on draft. It will begin shipping later this month.

Pre-Christmas donations stocked shelves at St. Lawrence Countys food pantries, but those shelves are emptying quickly as the holiday spirit of giving wanes and demand for food among the needy remains high.
Once Christmas tapers off, donations go down, Patti M. Conger, Ogdensburgs Neighborhood Center director, said Friday. We are low on pretty much everything at this point.
About 350 families turn to the 330 Ford St. neighborhood center each month for help with food, utility bills and other household expenses. Winter months typically result in greater demand for assistance, Ms. Conger said, as heating and electricity bills soar with a drop in temperatures.
A recent cut to food stamp funding with the Nov. 1 expiration of the federal 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has exacerbated the situation, she said.
People are still trying to re-budget the amount of money they get, and with a higher cost for electric and fuel, people are spending more of their cash, Ms. Conger said. We get a higher demand this time of year.
The Ogdensburg Neighborhood Centers situation is by no means unique, said St. Lawrence County Community Development Program Director Norma S. Cary. CDP oversees the countys food pantries.
All of us appreciate peoples generosity over the holidays, but people still need to be fed all year long, she said. Were seeing people we have never seen before, more individuals who just dont have the funds to feed their families. It really hasnt let up.
Ms. Cary said food pantries rely on community donations to stock shelves and pay for heating and utility assistance for needy families.
When those donations fade, the pantries can only do so much to fulfill their missions, she said.
Were getting hit really hard, especially after the holidays, and this really, really cold weather is resulting in more people seeking heating assistance, she said.
The demand for assistance never drops, said Thomas E. Proulx, coordinator of the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry, 128 Main St., Massena.
He said that in November, the pantry served 167 households through general food distribution and 149 households through emergency distribution. In December, the pantry provided Christmas food packages to 348 households.
Weve had to go out an purchase additional food besides what has been donated to try to maintain so we can keep helping people, Mr. Proulx said. Donations just cant keep up with our demand.
He said that while some pantries see a spike in requests for assistance over the winter, requests for help through the St. Vincent de Paul pantry remain steady throughout the year.
In the summer the kids are out of school, and a lot of them get breakfast and lunch supplemental meals in school. When the kids are home in summer, theyre not getting that, Mr. Proulx said. Were quite busy all year long.
New Beginnings Center at 3605 State St., Madrid, is one of the lucky ones, coordinator Anita C. Davis said. Donations made over the holidays probably will last through the winter, she said. In addition to Madrid, the center serves Norwood, Norfolk, and Morley.
In November we had 41 adults and 28 children, Ms. Davis said. I feel blessed that were in good shape because other places have a lot more people coming to them.
Still, she said, new faces are coming to the center all the time in addition to those who regularly request assistance. She said nobody among the centers clientele is undeserving of help.
I know the people who come every month come because they need to, she said. I expect more people will come. Im not terribly worried about making it through the winter, but I know were going to get a lot more calls.
All of the center directors said monetary donations may be made by mail or in person.
Food donations can be dropped off at the centers during regular business hours.

Ultra-lightweight, high-density 1000W power amplifier with DSP control and USB interface.
BEHRINGER's iNUKE NU1000DSP, just like the rest of the iNUKE Series power amplifiers, packs massive amounts of output power into an exceptionally lightweight, rackmountable package. Behringer's revolutionary high-density Class-D technology, combined with an ultra-efficient switch-mode power supply, ensures this feather-light powerhouse will drive your rig effortlessly for many years to come.
Superb transient response
BEHRINGER spent years fine-tuning the high-density Class-D technology that gives the iNUKE Series its oomph. Because they are created with carefully selected transistors with extremely high slew rates and optimizing other proprietary parts of the circuitry, the iNuke NU1000DSP amp reacts instantly to even the most-demanding electronic bass impulses.
When this amplifier technology is combined with BEHRINGER's switching-mode power supply, it gives the iNUKE NU1000DSP amplifier its tremendous punch. Just like the rest of the iNUKE Series, they are so much more efficient than conventional designs, so they run cooler, and don't require the massive heat sinks and heavy toroid transformers typically associated with their conventional counterparts.
Sublimely simple operation
The front panel controls and indicators provide your system's vital signs at a glance. After pressing the Power button, the Power LED lights to show the amp is ready for action. All channels feature positive-detent Gain controls with signal LEDs that light when a signal is present, as well as clip LEDs to indicate when the signal is distorted and you need to reduce the input signal.
The rear panel is just as elegant, with combo XLR and 1/4" TRS input connectors. This makes the iNUKE NU1000DSP compatible with virtually any source, balanced or unbalanced. Professional twist-lock speaker sockets are provided to ensure every drop of output power gets to your loudspeakers. The rear panel is also where you'll find the switches that enable the iNUKE NU1000DSP to work in either dual mono, stereo, or mono bridge mode. A built-in CROSSOVER switch enables the amp to operate in biamp mode, sending low-frequency content to passive subwoofers, while the high-frequency output is channeled to full-range loudspeakers (CH1>100 Hz/CH2<100 Hz, or FULLRANGE).
iNUKE DSP
For sound engineers requiring high-level control capability, the iNUKE DSP Series amplifiers come ready for action right out-of-the-box. The built-in DSP and 24-bit/96 kHz converters ensure the ultimate signal integrity with an extremely broad dynamic range. DSP functions include a sophisticated delay for delay-line loudspeakers, crossover, EQ (eight parametric, two dynamic), and dynamics processing with lockable security settings. A convenient front panel LCD display allows you to setup and make adjustments directly at the amplifier, without the need for a PC. The iNUKE NU1000DSP, just like all iNUKE DSP models, can also be set up, controlled, and monitored via the front panel USB connector.
Sporting a massive output rating, lightweight Class-D technology, an equally lightweight price tag, and all the amenities a professional audio engineer could ask for, the iNUKE NU1000DSP amp is a serious amp for demanding applications.
Let loose the juice within this amp to ramp up your equipment's perfromance levels. Order today!

Comments about Behringer iNUKE NU1000DSP Power Amp:
The Price was affordable and this unit sounds great ! Setup is a little wierd but does not require constant changes . The case is easy to carry , weighs less than average and is easy to mount . I would have liked more connection options but cable adapters are easy to make .
I have had great results with this brand over the years and will probably buy more of these amps .

Comments about Behringer iNUKE NU1000DSP Power Amp:
Using this amp as a subwoofer amp, it's crossover allows me to send just the low frequencys to my subs, the sound is clean and there are no humming noises when turned up.
Best Uses
Comments about Behringer iNUKE NU1000DSP Power Amp:
I received my iNuke 1000 DSP on time and without any damage. Took it out of the box and was amazed at how light the amp really is. Powered up with no issues. Good volume, this thing is loud, even with just 8 ohm speakers. Has no problem providing monitor vocals for a loud hard rock band. I have no complaints so far. I haven't played with the DSP yet, but it looks like there are a tonne of options with it. Search Youtube for an idea of what it does, its quite extensive.
Best Uses
Comments about Behringer iNUKE NU1000DSP Power Amp:
I got this amp because of the DSP features, specifically the crossover. The manual is worse than terrible, and because I was having trouble setting up the DSP features, I was on the verge of returning it. Downloading the PC application was what kept me from doing that. The application makes the setups much easier to understand. I'm using it as a guitar amp for smaller venues, and if you use a variety of guitars it has great features. I can bi-amp using the crossover, and set and save the EQ settings for each guitar that I use. It's definitely a keeper.

Comments about Behringer iNUKE NU1000DSP Power Amp:
very light, and portable, gives u the option of setting up on the pc for eq settings an so forth.
Comments about Behringer iNUKE NU1000DSP Power Amp:
I think I've already summed it up. You can't beat the price point. You can save your back & have all the power and processing capability you need. The downloadable software from behringer is also a great tool. Very easy to program, found and was adjusting all the parameters in a mater of minutes without even once looking at the manual. I also own several Crown XTI amps from the 1000 to the 6000 and enjoy the Behringers just as much, even more when you look at the price point.
The amp sounds great, is extremely light, very quiet, great DSP options, Puts out 150 watts @ 8 Ohms (which is not mentioned in specs). I am still waiting for the 3000 & 6000 I ordered. I am sure I will be very pleased. Imagine a whole amp rack the weight of a single amp with a standard transformer. plus no speaker management system needed. Plenty of delay time for spacing speakers deep into a crowd to extend range. 2 band dynamic EQ so you can eliminate an annoying shrill in the upper midrange from a vocalist. or add a contour affect and boost the low end at lower volumes and the level the base out at higher volumes to protect the speakes from over excursion. the list could go on. But bottom line great DSP and and design.
So light it feels like an empty shell. Yet packs a nice clean punch. Even when pushing it hard for a while, almost no heat. That's efficiency. It's a new product so time will tell. But I like it so far, and no problems.
No othe company offers this much in an amp without being at least 3 to 5 times the price.

She will go out of her way to help you if you ask but has a terrible bedside manner. She is so grumpy! Very sarcastic too. Not healthy herself. They charged me a co-pay when my insurance didn't call for it, so when I found out I had to call the office and request a refund.

Asthma and allergies are two quite personal conditions in the sense that they can work so differently from one person to another. Treatment plans don't come in a one-size-fits-all formula. Lifestyle choices and/or demands can make it easier or more difficult to avoid allergens. Sometimes medications that once worked have become ineffective. When medications aren't helping and you're having a hard time avoiding your allergens, it might be time to consider allergen immunotherapy, or "allergy shots."
What is Immunotherapy?
With immunotherapy treatment, you receive increasingly higher doses of your allergens over time, gradually becoming less sensitive to them. Allergy shots have been proven effective for symptoms caused by grass, tree and weed pollens, dust mites, cat dander, certain molds and stinging insects.
To date, allergen immunotherapy is the only treatment that has the potential to provide long-term prevention of allergic asthma or rhinitis symptoms. Allergy shots may have a lasting effect after they are stopped, whereas medications do not.
Who is Eligible?
To help determine if you will be a good candidate for allergy shots, your physician will look at two key factors: how long you experience allergy symptoms each year and how well other treatments are controlling them. People with perennial or prolonged allergies are generally the best match, as well as those needing multiple medications for their symptoms. A switch to allergy shots is usually not cost-effective for patients whose seasons last only a few months and who are achieving good control with cromolyn sodium inhalers, topical corticosteroids or non-sedating antihistamines.
Additional considerations include your age and health. Patients into their 60s can be good candidates for treatment. However, the younger the patient, not only the better the chances for relief, but also the more years of potential benefit. Your body must also be able to respond to epinephrine, which would be used in the rare event that you should have a severe reaction from the injections. Arrhythmia or other heart problems would make you ineligible in this case.
How Does the Process Work?
Once your doctor has verified that immunotherapy is a good option for you, he or she will conduct tests that will determine what allergens should be in your allergy extract. Skin testing is one of the most common, accurate and inexpensive ways to do this.
In prick/scratch testing, a small drop of a possible allergen is placed on the skin, followed by lightly pricking or scratching through the drop with a needle. In intradermal (under the skin) testing, a very small amount of allergen is injected into the outer layer of skin. With either test, if you are allergic to the substance, you will develop redness, swelling and itching at the test site within 20 minutes. You may also see a raised, round area that looks like a hive. Usually, the larger the area, or wheal, the more sensitive you are to the allergen. Most people are tested for about five to 25 allergens at a time, depending on whether sensitivity is being tested for indoor allergens only, or for both indoor and outdoor allergens.
After allergen identification comes the actual treatment. You'll begin with shots once or twice a week, until you start to feel relief (this process usually takes four to six months). Monthly maintenance doses are then given to help keep your "allergen resistance level" steady. You can expect your symptoms to be reduced after your first year of immunotherapy. If not, the use of allergy shots for your condition should be reconsidered. After you've been taking allergy shots for three to five years, it's time to stop for a reevaluation of treatment and symptoms. If the result is a return of symptoms, another course of therapy may be recommended, as a gradual relapse has been known to occur in some patients.
A Quicker Alternative
Because of time, cost and convenience issues, rush immunotherapy has reemerged as a viable option to conventional allergy shots. First suggested 65 years ago by British physician John Freeman, this accelerated version of the traditional course of shots brings patients to maintenance dosing levels within several weeks instead of months.
A typical rush regimen at National Jewish Medical and Research Center schedules four daily injections at one-hour intervals on five consecutive days. Maintenance doses are reached in five to 10 days. After maintenance is achieved, injections move to a weekly, then biweekly, and finally, a monthly schedule.
In one recent study, 44 patients, ages 2 to 50, successfully achieved full maintenance dosing in one day. Diagnosed with a variety of conditions including asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and chronic sinusitis, all were able to complete the therapy and showed no signs of blood pressure changes. Peak flow meter readings also remained stable. Participants had been pre-medicated with prednisone and various antihistamines for two days prior to the study as well as on the morning it began. Two patients developed and were treated for generalized itching.Sublingual Immunotherapy
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is an alternative way to treat allergies without injections. Allergists give patients small doses of an allergen under the tongue to boost tolerance to the substance and reduce symptoms. SLIT is relatively safe and effective for the treatment of rhinitis and asthma caused by allergies to dust mites, grass, ragweed, cat dander, and tree pollens. If you are interested in learning more about SLIT, contact your healthcare provider.

As the old saying goes, "seeing is believing." In the case of glaucoma, perhaps the adage should be adjusted to say "seeing and feeling is believing." Though nearly 3 million Americans suffer from glaucoma, the Glaucoma Research Foundation reports that half of those cases go unreported. Since most people with glaucoma still see and feel fine, they believe they have no vision problems.
Glaucoma does not necessarily cause noticeable symptoms, at least not ones most people would assume are not just a part of aging. But that does not mean it's not doing damage, as glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the United States, accounting for between 9 and 12 percent of all blindness cases throughout the country. Because there are few or no symptoms to indicate the presence of glaucoma, regular eye exams bring on even greater importance. In addition, knowing what glaucoma is and how it can affect everyday life can lend a greater sense of awareness about this potentially damaging disease.
There are two types of glaucoma, each of which involves fluid and pressure buildup on the eye.
Open Angle (or Wide Angle) Glaucoma: The more common type of glaucoma, open angle glaucoma occurs when fluid cannot exit the eye through the trabecular meshwork, or the drain of the eye. Essentially, the eye's drainage canals become blocked, increasing inner eye pressure as fluid cannot drain. When a person has open angle glaucoma, these drainage canals are similar to a clogged sink. While the drain in the sink itself is not clogged, the pipe going underneath the sink is. Similarly, the openings to the drainage canals are fine, but are clogged further in.
Angle Closure Glaucoma: Angle closure glaucoma occurs when the angle between the iris and the cornea (where a drainage channel for the eye is located) is too narrow, resulting in poor drainage. This type of glaucoma is far less common than open angle glaucoma, and often results in sudden pressure build-up in the eye.
Glaucoma can occur in young adults, children and even infants, though it's most common in adults over the age of 40. African-Americans are more likely to get glaucoma and often do so at a younger age and with more severe symptoms, such as a greater loss of vision than other victims.
Those who are also at a greater risk of glaucoma are:
People with a family history of glaucoma
People with poor vision
People taking any systemic corticosteroid medication, such as prednisone.
In most instances, there are not noticeable symptoms, a frightening thought when considering vision lost to glaucoma cannot be recouped. However, any of the following symptoms should set off an alarm and result in an immediate visit to an eye specialist.
Loss of peripheral, or side, vision, which is often a telltale sign of the onset of glaucoma
Seeing halos around lights
Persistent redness in the eyes
Pain in the eye
Eyes that look hazy, even after periods of prolonged rest
Onset of tunnel vision, wherein a person's vision becomes increasingly narrow
Glaucoma cannot be prevented. The best thing anyone can do, whether they're in the more susceptible demographics or not, is to get regular eye exams. If detected early, glaucoma can be treated, greatly reducing potential vision loss. Treatment options include eye drops, laser surgery or microsurgery. An eye specialist will suggest what's the best option depending on each individual case.
What people with glaucoma can expect is continued vision loss if they don't seek treatment. Eventually, without treatment, blindness will occur. However, very few people who have glaucoma end up going blind, as the aforementioned treatment options will prevent further vision loss.

As I venture into experimenting with Avon makeup, I can't help but wonder if I've missed out on good makeup for the past few years. This isn't saying that I'll be using Avon from now on, it's just that I'm finding myself recommending some of the makeup that I've tried and have been somewhat impressed with (wait till I get around to telling you ladies about the mineral foundation from Avon.. soon!) to friends. I reckon I now sort of understand why the likes of Reese Witherspoon and our very own Lea Salonga have let their name be associated with the brand that's been around for over a century (source).
And, by request, I'd like to share a few notes on two of Avon's mascaras: Super Shock and Super Curlacious.
As you can see, these two serve for different purposes. Super Shock adds volume while Super Curlacious defines lash strands and adds or handles the curl, naturally or prepped with the aid of a curlash or lash curler.
Personally, I prefer my mascaras in Black or Brown (or something in between). I really can't imagine wearing Blue makeup (not that I'm totally against it, btw). I reckon I'm more comfortable wearing the former. I guess that's why though I found the MAC Barelash mascara adorable, I rarely use it.
I was not entirely big on mascaras, really. I admit that I would even, sometimes, forget to put one on (after all the effort I put in doing the rest of my eye makeup, hehe) but I still think it incomplete if one fails to highlight the lashes. With that said, I'd still buy a cheap tube just so I'd be able to complete the task. Yes, I really don't buy the expensive sort simply because I didn't really understand the difference or the need. Why do mascaras come in different sorts of brushes, i.e. thick and heavily bristled, long and curved, narrow and short bristles, etc. I even question their efficacy. I mean, do they really add volume to or curl your lashes? However, I did realise my folly as I continued to use and experiment with different mascaras over the years.
Anyway, I initially tried out the Avon Super Curlacious Mascara in Black.
I didn't really notice anything remarkable at the beginning. It actually felt like I was duped. But as I continued to use it, I realised that it's the simplicity that makes the mascara sound. Like I mentioned earlier, it defines the lashes, minus the big, bold look, with its curved brush with short bristles. It picks up even the tiniest of lashes, thus, giving all my lashes a balanced definition and finishing it off with a nice touch of curl. Yes, without the use of a lash curler, and add the bit that my lashes are very ordinary looking so there, I like the fact that it does that little thing.
I appreciate the fact that even when it looks skeptically like it'll clump, I ended up with a non-chunky, well-balanced coverage best for casual makeup on days wherein I prefer a generally fuss-free, natural-looking makeup. Did I mention that it doesn't smudge (unless you rub it, heh) nor flake? Also, it's quite easy to remove.
However, this mascara won't be popular for you folks who love the heavy lash makeup, curled or otherwise, because it's generally light regardless of how many coats you put. Actually, you just might ruin it if you go over 3 coats. You might see clumping and lose the curl (what can I say, I experimented! LOL).
: 3 and half out of 5 stars.
Next is the Avon Super Shock Mascara in Black.
Now, since discovering that the Super Curlacious was more light and casual, I knew I needed a mascara to satisfy my need for a little volume esp for the smokey-eye makeup that I often like to wear at night. I was looking forward to road test the Super Shock for the much needed volume but this mascara proved to be a little disappointing. I believe that not only should it add volume, it ought to be waterproof as well. I guess, I was expecting that I'll get shocking results esp since it does calls itself Super Shock. But to give it credit, it does add volume — not sure about the "up to 12x more volume" bit though — and it does have a more dramatic effect compared to the Super Curlacious mascara (lashes and over-all eye makeup ended up looking better actually) but if I line it up against all the other volume mascaras I've tried in the past (even to Maybelline's Volume mascara), Super Shock sort of pales in comparison.
The brush, with its short bristles, was a little hard to use. My lashes aren't long and are uneven (esp since I'm still nursing it back to a certain level of normalcy; having had extensions, you see — yes, I failed to blog about that! Next time perhaps..) so working with the brush can be a bit of a chore. I needed to be careful so as not to get mascara on my lid and ruin the eye makeup altogether (which happened a couple of times, btw). And it doesn't help one bit that smudging is a problem (give or take after 4-5 hours). I honestly thought this was a waterproof mascara!
What I do like about this mascara is that it also doesn't clump or flake. It's actually easier to apply sans the brush. It goes on cleanly with minimal use of the lash separator and it does allow a little lash shaping so I can actually finish it off with a slight curve going towards the tips.
: 3 out of 5 stars.
Now, let me show you how each mascara looked like when applied. I actually used both at the same time so you can immediately spot (hopefully!) the difference. Used Super Curlacious as seen on the right and Super Shock, on the left. (You can click on the image for a larger view)
LEFT Avon Super Shock Mascara in Black | RIGHT Avon Super Curlacious Mascara in Black
For the sake of a better canvas, I also applied a bit of eye makeup that got drowned in flash. Eeep. Sorry about that. Twas better to take the snap with flash because the mascara is a whole lot more visible.
Quick makeup notes:
Avon Smooth Mineral Powder Foundation in Almond (MP01), Avon
Tea Tree Oil Cover Stick in Shade 02, The Body Shop
Mineralize SkinFinish Natural in Medium, MAC
Mineralize Eye Shadow in Brightside, MAC
Mineralize Eye Shadow in Gallery Girl, MAC
Shimmer Waves in Bronze, The Body Shop
Brush Metal-X in Gilded Ash, MAC + Smokey Eyes Powder Pencil (Smokey Black 01), Elizabeth Arden + Super Shock Mascara in Black, Avon
Eye Definer in Taupe, The Body Shop + Super Curlacious Mascara in Black, Avon
That's just about it. So.. have any of you ladies tried any of the mascaras by Avon? Ever used the Super Shock or Super Curlacious yourself? Any other Avon mascara you've tried that you'd like to recommend? Do share cuz I'd really like to know!

Deeplinks Blog posts about Privacy
Over the past week many more details have emerged about the HTTPS-breaking Superfish software that Lenovo pre-installed on its laptops for several months. As is often the case with breaking security incidents, most of what we know has come from security engineers volunteering their time to study the problem and sharing their findings via blogs and social media.
In comments yesterday during a cybersecurity conference at the New America Foundation, the Director of the NSA, Admiral Mike Rogers faced vocal criticism from the tech community (including cryptography expert Bruce Schneier and Yahoo CISO Alex Stamos). The criticism focused on the Obama administration's insistence that it should have access to everyone's encrypted communications via a backdoor, sometimes called a "golden key." Security experts caution that such a magic key, usable only by the "good guys" is—like magic—not actually possible.
CITIZENFOUR, Laura Poitras' riveting documentary about Edward Snowden's efforts to shed light on gross surveillance abuses by the United States government and its partners, just won the 2014 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Tonight's Oscar win recognizes not only the incredible cinematography of Poitras, but also her daring work with a high-stakes whistleblower and the journalism that kick-started a worldwide debate about surveillance and government transparency. We suspect this award was also, as the New York Times pointed out, "a way for Academy members to make something of a political statement, without having to put their own reputations on the line."
As the devices in our homes get "smarter," are they also going to spy on us? That question has led to one sentence in Samsung's SmartTV privacy policy getting a lot of attention lately:
Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition.
The comparisons to 1984's two-way "telescreens" are straightforward. This kind of language suggests that while you're watching TV, Big Brother may be watching (or listening to) you. Samsung has taken to its blog for an explanation and edited the policy, but that has not assuaged everybody's concerns.
President Obama recently announced slight changes to NSA data collection practices. The recent tweaks mean two new privacy protections for those that U.S. law considers foreigners (in this case, people who are outside of the United States borders who are neither U.S. citizens nor legal U.S. residents).
Perhaps you're thinking Obama is using his executive authority to stop the mass surveillance of all Internet traffic of people worldwide? Nope, not quite. The new protections are:
