Coffee With Collin: Buy 1 Get 1 Free Coupon Issues
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Monday, June 6th, 2011 at 1:56 pm.
WARNING: The first 2 minutes and 22 seconds of this video focus solely on a BIG personal issue of mine (literally!) …it is not pretty and may require you to fast forward.
**If you can't see the video, go here to watch it.
What is a Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon?
Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupons (also known as BOGO coupons or B1G1 coupons) allow you to purchase one item and Get a second item of equal or lesser value for free! You'll want to pay special attention to the fine print on the coupon as there is usually a maximum value stated on the coupon (this maximum value is the most that the manufacturer is willing to reimburse the store for the "free" item). For example, in the coupon pictured above, P&G will only reimburse the store up to $3.99 for the CrossAction toothbrush. If the toothbrush is priced at $4.50, you will be required to pay $0.51 out of pocket ($4.50-$3.99) for this "free" item.
How does a Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon work with a Buy 1 Get 1 Free store sale?
With a B1G1 store sale, you are purchasing 2 like items and then automatically getting one item for free when you checkout. Since you are still essentially purchasing 2 items, you can use a B1G1 coupon in conjunction with the B1G1 store sale to get the both items for free (one is free after the store sale and one is free after the coupon). See the picture below as an example. *Important Note: Read your store's coupon policy very carefully as some stores (most recently Rite Aid :( ) may prohibit the use of a B1G1 coupon in conjunction with a B1G1 store sale.
How does a $ off coupon work with a Buy 1 Get 1 Free store sale?
Since you are purchasing 2 like items with a B1G1 store sale, you can use two $ off coupons (one that is applied to each purchased item). For example, the Walgreens coupon policy specifically states "When items are featured in a Buy One, Get One Free promotion, up to two coupons can be used against the items being purchased, as long as the net price does not go below zero for the items being purchased." * Important Note: Read your store's coupon policy very carefully as some stores may prohibit the use of two $ off coupons in conjunction with a B1G1 store sale.
Can you purchase 2 like items and combine both a B1G1 coupon AND a $ off coupon?
Hmmm…. check out the video above for my opinion and please feel free to share what you think in the comments.

L-lysine everyday, 1000mg. I would imagine the next time you are tired and stressed out you will not get one!!! But, say you do. Try a loading dose for 4-6 days. This is 2,000-2,500mg throughout the day. NEVER take more than 3,000 in one day (during an episode). The tingling will go away exponentially faster. Abreva was always my mainstay but a couple years ago I misplaced it and could nto stomach buying another tube. Campho-phenique is less expensive, can be couponed, dries it out, numbs it and kills it!!
See if that helps! Good luck. :)
Jenny is right – if you know what a cold sore is and how it occurs. You will learn that Lysine is the way to go. Take it at first sign of tingle and you will find it goes away really fast. Puttin anything on top of the cold sore really doesn't do anything to help it.
Here is a copy and paste of a blog post I wrote a while ago on my pregnancy blog about cold sores:
I can't say enough about this very effective dietary supplement. It only costs around $4.99 – $10.99 depending on where you buy it and what brand you get.
Do not fall for the Lysine topical methods as the lysine must get into your cells and work to suppress Arginine from your cells.
Note: You should always consult your doctor before taking any medications or dietary supplements. This information provided by me is for informational purposes only
If you are not pregnant: I would definitely recommend using Lysine to treat and prevent the herpes virus. Take two 500 milligrams a day and if you are treating a break out take 1500 – 3000 milligrams a day.
To treat a break out:
* At first sign of tingle – take 2 or 3 – 500 milligrams of Lysine to help slow down or stop the break out.
* Take again in the middle of the day
* Use hydrogen peroxide on sore (not to be used internally – consult your doctor to see if you can use on external genital area)
* Keep taking for up to two days after break out has ceased to assure it has been suppressed
If you are pregnant or nursing: At this time there are no studies available on the effects of taking Lysine while pregnant or nursing. Many doctors will advise pregnant or nursing women to avoid taking this supplement as they have labeled this supplement Class C. What that means is: Any pregnancy class A or B drugs are safe; class C is thought to be safe but not enough tests have been done to fully confirm; class D or lower–stay away!
Taking this supplement is controversial since their are no human studies, cases or medical files showing that taking Lysine while pregnant or nursing is safe on the development of an unborn child or newborn. However, there are an uncounted number of women taking this supplement each year for the treatment of herpes while pregnant or nursing. There are also many doctors, mid-wives and doulas who will advise their patients to take this supplement instead of any prescription that can be used for the treatment of the herpes virus.
Herpes breakouts are generally triggered by environmental and emotional triggers – here are some ways to help prevent your break outs: (if you do any of these things, make sure to take the Lysine to help reduce the risk of a break out) Source: ehow.com
1.Stay out of the sun, or at least limit exposure. Overexposure to the sun can trigger outbreaks.
2.Wear sunscreen if you are out in the sun.
3.Drink alcohol in moderation.
4.Stay out of the wind as much as possible.
5.Protect your immune system. Other viruses, such as the flu, can trigger outbreaks.
6.Make sure to have a healthy diet with plenty of fresh, unprocessed foods.
7.Take a good, high-potency multivitamin.
8.Eat foods high in vitamin C or take a supplement of at least 1,000mg daily.
9.Keep in shape, get enough sleep, do things you enjoy and drink lots of fluids.
10.Reduce consumption of processed foods, cola drinks, sugar and caffeine, which may increase the chance of an outbreak.
11.Don't share a drinking glass, food utensils or a toothbrush with someone who has a cold sore.
12.Avoid intimate contact such as kissing someone on the lips when that person has a cold sore.
Also: Stress is a trigger and if you eat a lot of chocolate – chocolate has caffeine, so take lysine to help prevent or reduce the risk of getting a break out. Remember adding these triggers together can make a break out more likely. For example: If you go out to the beach and bask in the sun, drinking soda and eating chocolate during that week, you may find yourself getting a break out. So, take the Lysine to help yourself not get one.

Oh and the hydrogen peroxide helps because cold sore virus is killed with contact of oxygen. So, hydrogen peroxide will put oxygen right into the sore causing it to bubble up and tingle and dry out more quickly.
I get cold sores, too. Cold sore sufferers unite! They are awful. I have a prescription from my derm when i have a flare-up. just wanted to pass on, cold sores/pimples are always more noticeable for the person that has it…I truly didn't even notice your sore on your video. People try and tell me that when I have one and never believe them, but it is true.
Like so many of you I struggle with cold sores. Kind of nice to hear so many others do too. I am a huge believer in Valtrex. I would not be caught without it. I even carry it with me in my purse in a pill box because the key is to catch it right when you feel the "tingle". Collin as you were describing your battle with cold sores every word and symptom is exactly what I go through….crazy. You need to give this a try it will change everything. The pain and embarrassement you go through with these things cannot be described unless you get them. It is so worth asking your doctor about.
Agreed! My entire family gets these things, dad, mom you name it…our family doc puts us all on Valtrex..take when you get the "tingle" is right on the money..fastest easiest way!
I normally use the BOGO coupon and X amount off on both at Walgreens and CVS and have had no problems so far using that strategy. some of the grocery stores like Kroger, Randalls and HEB seem to have issues with them, but a little helpful breakdown of the transacation and the reading of their coupon policy will normally straighten them out.
now as for the cold sores….a lot of over the counter medicines work but they take time, and when you get one of those ugly things on your lip, you want it gone asap….a little old folks secret my grandma gave me that they had to use in the 30's and 40's because there was no over the counter medicine then was….drum roll please….YOUR OWN EAR WAX…..YES….it sounds gross, but it works and works fast….just clean your ears with a q-tip, and wipe some of the wax you dug out of your ear onto the cold sore and it will not only be gone, but gone much sooner than Campho or Abervo or Valtrex…
I totally agree with the EAR WAX remedy! I heard about this remedy and thought it was insane, but it works much faster than any over the counter treatment out there. Dries up the cold sore before it blows up and becomes obvious to everyone. Have done this ever since and goes away within a day.
I too have gotten coldsoares all my life! I can tell you that Cashews are a huge issue for me for some reason when I over indulge I get a coldsoare but stress is typically the factor. I have found that COLGATE toothpaste dries them up fast. I usually will put some on it at night and in the moring the swelling is gone! And it is less noticable! Also use abreeva but always always put colgate on it at night it feels better and looks better in the morning.
Collin, I also get cold sores. I have just participated in a clinical study for them (which might I add I made $20 a day for over a week just for them to give me some medicine for it and to come to my house to look at my lips) The lady in charge of the study said after I am done with the study that when I get another cold sore I should use SCOPE. Just put that on there 4 times a day….. Interesting. I have not gotten another one since my study but I will try the scope. =) Hope it helps. I feel your pain about having a gigantic sore on your lips. It truly is the worst thing ever! =)
omg Colin..u r too funny!! i love how ur r so candid about everything and just put it all out there :) good luck with the cold sore, im sure STRESS has a lot to do with it, so u have my permission to take a whole week to yourself!! ( in ur dreams, right) thanks for all that u do for all of us :)
My hubby used to have horrible cold sores inside his mouth nearly all the time. His sister had the same painful problem. I read about a study done in Israel where the cold sore sufferers took a sublingual B12 every night at bedtime for 6 months and after that most of them were coldsore free forever. Hubby and my SIL did this and they are cold sore free. For the first few months after the 6 they had a few times when they thought they would get one and took some B12 for a few days and it cleared up without really developing. They have both been free of cold sores for about 2 years now and what a blessing it has been! L-Lysine was something they both took for a number of years but it was no help to them.
I have an occasional one outside on my lip and I use colloidal silver and is clears it up quicker than anything else I have found.
I hope your cold sore gets better. I have never had one….so I have no advice. On the coupon issue, I don't even think about it….it either works at the store or it doesn't. If it works then the store thinks it is ok. If it doesn't work then it is not ok. I let the stores make the rules. I don't argue if a coupon doesn't work. Why get stressed about it? If I am getting stressed out over a coupon then I have a big problem and I should pack all the coupons away. Life is too short!
I just want to say you're the BEST Collin! I love how you stay connected with your morals and do what feels right. I've always felt uneasy about using BIGI Q's along with $ off Q's and I love that you're publically voicing your opions about the topic. Keep up the great work!
I had a cold sore a few months ago and I know exactly how you feel! They are embarrassing and do not leave without a fight. In addition to Lysine, my mom recommended trying Echinacea with Gold Seal. I've also heard a lot of people use Carmex. Hope these tips help for a fast recovery!
I think this was a great topic to cover. You explained things really well–I feel it really helps to have someone talk you through it vs. reading about it, because I'm often paranoid that I'm understanding the text wrong! I would love a follow-up video that sort of summarizes what you can do with BOGO coupons at individual stores according to their policies.
In relation to that, I'm still trying to understand the Rite Aid policy update. I get that you can't use BOGO qs with a BOGO sale anymore, but in reading the policy it sounds to me like they are saying you CAN use a BOGO q and a $ off q together? Is that not exactly what you (Collin) have decided not to highlight anymore? Or am I reading the policy wrong? (This is an example of where someone talking me through it is very helpful!) I'm looking at the part of the policy that says:
"A customer can use one "cents off" coupon in conjunction with the item they are purchasing on a Buy One Get One Free promotion (or with a Buy One Get One Free coupon), although the value of the cents off coupon cannot exceed the selling price of the item."
What does it all mean????? :)
i was thinking that i could no longer use both coupons, but then stephanie from stephanie's savings on fb just addressed this last night. i had been reading it wrong. the part you are reading definitely says that you can use both. this is rite aid's policy. colin's point is "was this the intent of the manufacturer?"
Ahh, I see. Thanks! :)
My understanding is that using a cents off, and a bogo applies when the store is having the BOGO sale, you can use one cents off, not two (as we have previously been able to do).
Your cold sore will go away with in 2 days if you use a product containing benzocaine(sp). However it is spelled, it works quick! It is found in products for cankor sores or near the denture products. The benzocaine dries the cold sore up quickly, and you will notice it shrinking within a few hours. I use a product made by colgate for cankor sores. Good luck!
I forgot to mention asking the pharmacy about the benzacaine. They are the ones who first reccomended it to me. It's way cheaper than Abreeva and works 100% faster. The benzacaine can be applied directly to the cold sore, numbs it, and causes it to kind of flake off. I would just rub my finger over the sore which removed any loose flakkes before I re-applied the medicine. I works, I promise.
Collin, I have gotten cold sores my ENTIRE life! Literally! I came out as a newborn with them. I feel your pain! Theres nothing more embarrassing than have everyone looking at the what feels like a giant mountain on your lip! I have spent years, and hundreds of dollars on trying to find the best treatment for them and what i've come up with is a little concoction that has worked by far better than anything else I've tried. And I've tried it ALL!!! I have a RX for Valtrex 1000mg tabs and Denavir cream. At the first tingle I take 2 valtrex (repeat in 12 hours and then done) and put denavir on every hour, along w abreva. I have never been able to completely prevent one from forming but I have drastically reduced the size and length of them. This is the only thing I have ever found to even remotely help. The other thing i do is when I know I'm stressed or have gotten a lot of sun I stay away from pop and sugar. Cold sores feed on this and can make them worse. I hope this helps and don't worry, I've learned after almost 30 yrs that YOU can see them but not everyone else sees the mountain on your lip.
Try Herpacin L chapstick! You can find it at Walmart! My hubby swears by it! He uses it daily cold sore or not to help prevent them!
Thanks Karen, I've tried that before unfortunately with no success. I did forget to mention that I do take acidophilus every day as well, but really diet has been the biggest key for prevention for me.
I appreciate your honesty and standards. You are a great person. Thanks for all the helpful information. Hope your cold sore is doing better.
Collin, Thank you for doing what you believe is right regarding the BOGO. Saving a dollar or even a few is not worth the value of having integrity. It sounds like some BOGO coupons are coded for two items and other BOGO are coded so that they could possibly be used in conjunction with another coupon? Even though the practice could be justified as you explained, I admire your choice and think that you are right to set a good example. Way to go!
My understanding of a BOGO is that you have to actually PAY for one item, and that the coupon attaches to both items so you shouldnt be able to use a cents off with it also. So in my opinion using a BOGO store promo and a BOGO coupon to get both items free is wrong. To me its the same as trying to use 2 BOGO coupons to get both items free, it is not what is intended by the manufacturer.
Hey Collin!! I'm so sorry you have a cold sore!! My husband gets them quite often as well & he says they're aweful! So with that being said I have some advice for you! We buy my hubby special chapstick to help with the cold sores! It's called Herpacin L. I have found it at Wal-Mart & our local grocery store (County Market in Minnesota). He uses it daily whether he has a cold sore or not & it helps him avoid getting them. He's so sensitive that he will literally get a cold sore if he bites his lip or one of our kids bumps it! So grab some HL chapstick & start using it everyday & you'll be so much happier when those cold sores don't show up anymore!!
Okay, sweets,,,Try that Abreva and see if that doesn't take care of it! I had to use this on my daughter a couple of weeks ago & hers trust me, looked WAAAAAY WORSE than yours! And honestly, I could NOT EVEN TELL anything on the video! Honest! So, best wishes to you w/this as I know it is Very Frustrating! Also, I wound up buying my Abreva (with a coupon of course ;) at Wal-mart versus CVS b/c CVS's was a whole $5 more! HTH ~Love!
I get them too when I am stressed out. always on my lip. it's a virus and the doc can give you pills that will make it go away super fast. get the doc to give you refills so next time one crops up just go get your refill. you'll probably get them the rest of your life, but it happens to lots of people :)
Love your blog & videos! They're so informative & helpful. I do have one question for you, when using a BOGO coupon with a BOGO half off off sale, are you paying for the full priced item, or the half priced item? Thanks!
My Hubby gets cold sores. When he feels it coming on he pops it and puts alchol on it. gone in 2-3 days. Thanks for being so ethical in what you do. On another medical note if you have any ideas on how to save money for diabetes supplies let me know.
My hubby gets terrible cold sores and he also uses the Lysine and Abreva…those help but they pretty much just have to run their course. His are chocolate/weather induced so when he know he'll probably get one he starts the Lysine right away. Tends to help. His will blister up and so gets so grumpy with them, so I understand!
I used to get cold sores a lot, but as I've gotten older (50+) I find I don't get them as often. I tried the Lysine, taking it everyday for a year, still got as many cold sores as usual. Found that Valtrex worked the best. But you have to take it the moment you feel a cold sore coming on. It will lessen the time and severity of the cold sore. In some instances, it prevented the cold sore from even appearing. I usually have my doctor or dentist give me a prescription for 4 tablets, and keep them on hand in the refridgerator for when I feel the tingling. You take 2 tablets at the first sign and then 2 more 12 hours later. Works wonders!
Using $ off Q with a BOGO Q has never made sense to me. Using two money off Qs on a BOGO sale makes sense because the manufacturer is getting reimbursed for one and the store is making more money than if you were to buy one because they're getting reimbursed for the Qs. Everyone's happy!
In my opinion, using a $ off coupon with a BOGO is akin to using a $1/1 with a $2/2 coupon and only buying two items. We can talk "Q to item ratios" until the cows come home, but the simple fact is that a BOGO Q is for two items and not one. You wouldn't get the free one if you didn't buy one to begin with, you clearly have to buy two to use the coupon, so why would you be able to use another Q on the one you bought? Also, why would manufacturers put the coupons right next to each other if they wanted you to use them together?
Kudos to the brutal honesty in this video, all the way around.
I was thinking that today too, but actually the store will get the same amount of money either way (other than the 8 cent handling fee). If you bought two $10 items and they were on a BOGO sale and you had 2 $1/1 Qs then you would pay the store $8 and the manufacturer would pay them $2 (plus 16 cents for the handling). If you only used one Q, you would pay $9 and the manu would pay $1. If you only bought one item because there was no BOGO sale, then you would use 1 Q and the store would still get the same amount of money overall between you and the manu, but they would not be giving you a free product. In the end, they will get $10 for that item, but not more (unless you want to count the 8 cents handling). I hope that makes sense.
I was thinking but correct me if I'm not getting this right. If it is not a BOGO store sale and you are paying out of pocket for the first item could you get the $0.75 off that first item while using the $0.75 off coupon?
If the answered is yes, then why does it matter where the money is coming from for the original item? Meaning in a BOGO store / BOGO coupon deal, 1 item is being paid for by the manufacturer and one is from the store.
Please bear with me, I think on a methodical level so this will bother me if I don't solve the equation.
Much love and peace.
I think here's where the confusion lies. People think it's about the store, because that's who gets snippy with us when we're trying to use coupons, but it's because they have to process the coupons in compliance with the manufacturers.
Here's a scenario that will never happen, but I'm using it to illustrate my point of why the two scenarios are very different, and why one is sometimes allowed depending on the store's Q policy, yet the other isn't justifiable to me (even if the configuration of the store's database allows it):
Imagine an item costs $500. It is on store sale BOGO. You have (2) $250/1 coupons. All you pay tax. The store may have the item [that they already paid for] onsale, but at the end of the day, the manufacturer is reimbursing them $500 for your coupons, so the store is still making as much money as if you didn't have any coupons and still bought the same two products during their sale. You could even argue the store loses out because they have to pay an employee to sort through all of the coupons at the end of the week (which I doubt is paid for by the .08/Q handling fee that manufacturers give stores). Some stores (e.g., Meijer, Kroger) do not allow a coupon on a BOGO store sale because they want to avoid the above scenario. Other stores (e.g., CVS) have it in their coupon policy that it is permissible, likely because they already have such a high mark-up that they're still making out.
Imagine the same item isn't onsale BOGO. You have a BOGO Q and a (1) $250/1 you want to use. You are paying the store (who already paid the manu) $250 for two items. The manufacturer now has to pay the store an additional $750 for reimbursement on two items. The manufacturer in this instance is getting screwed, store making out like a bandit. I doubt that manufacturers would put the coupons side by side (e.g., BOGO Gilette Body Wash right next to a $2/1 Q–happens all the time) if they wanted you to use them this way.
Our whole family (minus my husband) has gotten cold sores for the past almost 5 years. I think one of my kids brought it home first and then ran through the whole house. At first I did not know what it was. I think that it why it spread like wild fire. This is what our family uses:
1. We drink Danactives daily. Danactives have probiotics in them. When we are not drinking Danactives we make kefir smoothies. This keeps our gut healthy which makes us more healthy so we don't get cold sores as often.
2. Take a good multi vitamin to keep your immune system up. I take Special Two by Now Foods. The kids take Rainbow Light vitamins. The Rainbow Light vitamins have probiotics in them, which is a bonus.
When we do get cold sores my kids use the Zorivax cream. For the older ones and for myself we use Aclovir or Valtrex in pill form.
Cold sores are horrible. Some of the kids get them on their lip, and some get them occasionally under their nostril, and one gets them occasionally on their chin. I think it is key to keep your immune system up. Good luck, you are not alone! Our pediatrician told us it is pretty unlikely they will ever have a cure for the herpes virus as it is a constanly changing virus, much like the flu they need to keep tweaking the flu shot because it changes from year to year.
If you have any other questions feel free to email me! :)
Collin- thanks for sharing this video! I never felt right using 2 coupons when one was BOGO- I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one! Keep up the awesome work…and I hope your cold sore goes away- I didn't even notice it (even after you pointed it out)!
I have always used two coupons with BOGO, one for the BOGO item and one for the other. Your video made me rethink this idea, especially when I've 'read' the coupon to see if it was coded for both items. (The ONLY time I ever read the coding, BTW).
I have been searching around attempting to understand the policies better and have been met with confusion. The CIC states that retailers are not to accept both coupons for the transaction. (http://www.couponinformationcenter.com/CIC-Coupon-Acceptance.php?st=93d32) However, in the same release, they also state that the value of the coupon should not exceed the value of the purchase which is exactly what Wal-Mart's new coupon policy allows. This further makes me believe that it is up to the retailer's discretion.
I sent an email both to the CIC and to the ACP and am hoping to get clarification on their ideas on this. Thank you for bringing up the subject! I never would have thought about this not being good coupon use and I absolutely hate fraudulent coupon users, it spoils it for the rest of us. Certainly do not want to be a part of that myself. :)
ABOUT THE COLDSORE!!!! I used to get MASSIVE COLDSORES when i got stressed and i had a doctor tell me once to take multi vitamin B everyday and don't have them anymore.HTH
Hi Collin!
I just wanted to let you know that I also took advantage of a Walgreen's B1G1 deal with a coupon! Walgreen's is currently running a sale on Old Spice deodorant and body wash. You can buy one and get one at 50% off. P&G released a coupon on Sunday for B1G1 body wash and deodorant. So, I bought my body wash and deodorant both for 2.75!! That's 1.37 an item! Not too bad for a newbie!
Thanks for all the helpful (& hip!) tips!
I appreciate that you posted that. I am one who has been following your site for a couple years and I did always get that uneasy feeling about those types of deals. Thanks!!
Hi Collin, I just went back and watched this video for the second time and I totally agree with you using a BOGO coupon with a manufacturer's money off coupon. However, I was wondering what you thought of using a manufacturer's BOGO with a store coupon (like Target) for money off. For example, the degree deodorant in the video have a buy 1 get 1 free coupon. Target also had degree deodorant that had money off. Do you think that you can use that combination (or even two Target coupons with the manufacturer's BOGO)?
Thanks for all that you do….you are AWESOME!!
Chiming in late on this one, but I so appreciate your candid approach to using a BOGO coupon along with a money off coupon. I have been exactly the same way. I did it because I saw it on other blogs and reasoned that if they were coded where they could be used together that it was OK, but felt in my gut that it just wasn't right.
I think it is totally acceptable to use a BOGO in conjunction with a BOGO sale or with a store coupon if the store's policy allows it. I also have no problem purchasing an item that is not "in the picture" on a coupon or using one on a trial sized item if the coupon does not specify otherwise. To me, as long as the wording on the coupon and the store's policy is followed, then it's all good. When someone uses the BOGO with a money off coupon that is asking the manufacturer to take the hit both times rather than the manufacturer giving a little and the store giving a little.
I know that as far as coding goes that you can do a lot of different things but to me, that is not ethical and as you said, it is a call that we all must make for ourselves. If a yogurt coupon for example says "save .40 WYB 6″ but is coded in such a way where you only have to buy 2, I would still buy the 6 whether I thought the cashier would call me out on it or not.
Anyway, not trying to sound like a goody-goody or anything but I am proud that you chose to include your moral dilemma on your video. We all have those moments where it's like, " Wait a minute!" and I did the exact same thing you did. Thanks again for the videos and all the great money saving tips.
Hey Collin,
I hope all is well, I was looking for you on Monday.
Hugs, Missed ya. :-)
I think the ones on the inside of your mouth are called canker sores. Many people call them cold sores, but they are completely different. The cold sores are contagious, whereas canker sores are not. Both may be caused by stress, but they are treated differently. I have never had the cold sores, but have had many friends with them and felt horrible when they had to experience them. I have had tons of problems with canker sores, especially when I drink too much juice.
Valtrex! Valtrex! Valtrex! at the first tingle, or as soon as possible. Ask your M.D. for the generic if available; it's a lot cheaper. I've also used alcohol, but after reading some of the above comments, I'll give hydrogen peroxide a try. I lived 45 years and never had a cold sore, and then, whammy, they've come with regularity ever since.
Hi Collin
Let me say i love your website! I just got promoted to a manager at Walgreens about a year ago and it seems to be we have been seeing more and more people using coupons, people having binders, ect. As you know Walgreens came out with a coupon policy recently. Whats frustrating to me is that the coupon policy doesnt say anything about B1G1 coupons. IT only says that you can use 2 manufacture coupons on a B1G1 free sale. My store manager says that they have to buy three if we are running a B1G1 free sale if they have the B1G1 free coupon. That makes alot of people mad! becasue i know we still get money for that coupon so why turn them down. Now i love walgreens but I dont know what to do in this case, We are suppose to make the customer happy but if i do that im not going to listen to my manager.. I would ask corporate but it seems to me walgreens makes rules and doesnt follow them. some stores do and some store dont. another thing i was wonding about B1G1 free coupons is what if the coupon state, DO NOT DOUBLE.. does this mean they cant use them if a store is having a B1G1 free sale?? Thanks so much for your time!!
each store has its own coupon policy and it is important that one reads and understand the policy before you comment as to coupon fraud or not fraud. A while back the issue of BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale came up. Target does not allow that, but other stores do! Couponing can be very helpful to making ends meet but when some people call you out on something that is okay it can be confusing. So, please read and know what is ok in the establishment you choose to patronize.
I used to get cold sores all the time, mainly in the summer. I started taking Lysene daily and no cold sores. i usually stop in the winter and at the first sign of a cold sore, I start taking it daily again. I personally dont think any topical creams work like they say but Lysene is the way to go!
My grandma swore by yogurt for cold sores, cankers sores, and sore throats…something about the live cultures. Anyhow, it totally works! try it!
Hi, Collin!
Re: cold sores: I've had them all my life (I'm 59) and finally found something that works. I can usually stop them in their tracks with Acyclovir. It is a prescription. Even if I've not started taking it right away, it will begin drying up as soon as I start the pills. You can get various strengths, but mine is 2 pills twice a day, 200mg each.
Great stuff!
I know how embarrassing they can be, especially on your lip, but take comfort they are not, as some of mine are, just on the edge of my nostril. Those are *really* becoming – not! :)
Good luck.
Hey not sure if this is too late but just a quick healthy remedy is to use Indian coconut oil that you can buy from Indian store it will to wonders keep applying and see the magic
I've had amazing results with a little tea tree oil put on with a q-tip. Like gone in 24 hours or less if I caught before it cracked open…a little longer if it had.
denavir works great, however it is kinda pricey

Reviews for Speedy Brownies
Sort By :
"I got this recipe originally from the Taste of Home magazine a few years ago. I love it and so does everyone that eats the ones I make. Of course, us cooks all have our own little 'touches' and 'substitutes' we use, as I do with this recipe. That's OK too.I highly recommend anyone to use this recipe.They are oh, so good."
"I was reluctant to try this recipe as it calls for canola oil instead of butter. I did make them, and they turned out to be very good. I took them to serve after a function, and they were all eaten. I did reduce the eggs to 4 instead of 5 as another reviewer suggested. A good brownie recipe ... and quick too."
"Easy to make, but not as fudgy as I expected."
"Just made these this evening. They are very good. They have a cake/fudgy consistency. I started checking them at 25 minutes for doneness. My oven took about 28 minutes - the toothpick still had some moist crumbs on it. The only change I made was I used 4 eggs, because that was all I had. They still turned out great. Would make them again. Nice simple recipe with great results. Just don't over bake them."
"The secret to baking any brownie recipe is to not bake too long! My recipe was perfect at 25 minutes, not 30. Always check your recipe at least 10 minutes before recipe is supposed to be done. I am an experienced baker of five decades and learned this trick at my Grandmother's knee. This same advice holds true for all baking but brownies, in particular, come out very dry if baked just five minutes more than needed."

I was diagnosed Rectal cancer stage 3 in February 2010, I went through radiotherapy/Chemotherapy and recently a surgery. Now I am starting 5 months of Chemotherapy (FOLFOX) Oxaliplatin, 5FU, plus a number of antisickness medications, I don't know what drug is causing this but I have a severe case of hiccup (non stopping) day and night, can't sleep well, and I am only in my first week of chemotherapy. Could you let me know if you know if you have experienced hiccup due to chemotherapy and what you did to cure it,
Thanks to you all.View Thread
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I am just starting the chemo post-surgery so hiccups are new for me I am talking to doctors too, but it seems that nobody knows for sure what to do to stop it, they are looking at the antisikcness medications and see if that is something that may cause this, so they can change it, but the true is that I thought they would have known by now as I am sure I am not the first having this, I am looking for alternatives medicines to stop it now. I didn't know about the B Vitamins but I am eating well, I will keep an eye on that, thanks a lot.View Thread
I have been diagnosed with Rectal cancer twoo weeks ago, I have spent the last weeks in the hospital going through MRI and CT scans to see if it has spread, so far they say it is not spread. I have to start radiotherapy together with chemotherapy for 5 1/2 weeks, then get a MRI scan, after that need to rest for a month and go under surgery to remove the tumor, not sure whether they will leave me with a stoma or not, once the operation is completed (removal of tumor) I will have to take six months of chemotherapy. Can anyone let me know if this sound familiar to you, as many of you I am chocked by the news. I have a 10 years daughter and wife (six months pregnant), my daughter doesn't know exactly what I have, I don't know how to tell her of if this will be a good idea to tell her at all, has any of you have to explain this to your son/daughter, your feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, your comments give me a lot of hope, and congratulations on your recovery, I hope I can say the same later in the year.

Anheuser-Busch's [BUD] surprise acquisition of a 29% stake in the Chinese brewer Harbin may force SABMiller [SAB.L] to gain full control of the company. By making this competitive acquisition, however, Anheuser-Busch is risking its strategic alliance with the number one Chinese brewer, Tsingtao.
Profits at brewer SABMiller [SAB.L] have improved considerably this year, aided by a turnaround at the Miller operation and the strong demand for low-carb drinks in the US. The company's most testing challenges still lie ahead though as it fights to acquire the Chinese brewer Harbin [0249.HK] and sustain its momentum in the US.
In the last few years, San Miguel has been expanding geographically while also trying to reduce its reliance on the alcoholic drinks market. However, the company will need to inject a significant amount of cash into the Berri brand if it is to generate a decent return on investment in the overseas markets.
It's a good time to be a Chinese brewer: Tsingtao, the country's largest, has experienced 20% growth in earnings in the first half of the year. This comes in stark contrast to the stagnation of the global beer market, but Tsingtao needs to remember that the days of plenty will not last forever. Competition will intensify as foreign players look to emerging markets for future revenue growth.
Heineken's H1 profits have slumped 8.2% as it battles to counter stagnating sales in its core markets of western Europe and the US. The need for global brewers to diversify geographically is clear, but while Heineken has been assiduous in building its Russian operations, it has arguably so far failed to refresh parts of the world its rivals have already reached.
Kirin Brewery has taken steps to become the first major Japanese brewer with a wholly owned subsidiary in China. The investment will secure Kirin a firm foothold in a market which, in value growth terms, is expected to far outstrip the brewer's relatively mature domestic market of Japan. By establishing a production plant in China, Kirin also will gain scope for cost savings and further expansion.
A range of novel drinks packagings have been noted by Productscan Online this month, which are designed to improve the taste of the product and its ability to stand out from the crowd. These include Coors' new beer can and Hain's Smoothies with a 4-way turbo straw. Some unusual dairy products have also recently been launched, from milk made from Kamut wheat, to a cucumber-flavored cow's milk.
LVMH-owned Moet Hennessy has increased its presence in China with the purchase of a 55% stake in Wen Jun Distillery, a Chinese producer of white spirits, as it looks to cash in on a booming economy and increasing incomes. The Chinese spirits market is rising steadily, and LVMH's existing knowledge of the market, combined with its industry expertise, will provide it with an excellent opportunity.
Growing consumer concern for the environment has led to the development of a range of 'greener' beverages. A scan of Productscan this month highlights this trend, with the recent launch of a 'green' vodka which has environmentally friendly credentials, and a bottled water packaged in lightweight plastic.
The Scottish Whisky Association (SWA) has welcomed the news that the UK government is to introduce new legislation to provide Scotch whisky manufacturers with greater protection against counterfeit alternatives. However, with the UK market stagnating, the SWA should seek to enhance the sales and image of Scotch whisky in emerging countries by challenging for greater international legislation.

To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Jun 04, 2009) It was reported on June 2, 2009, that the Council of Ministers of Ethiopia had submitted to the House of People's Representatives for approval a draft law on terrorism that seeks to expand the powers of law enforcement authorities. (Yonas Abiye, Country Moves to Strengthen Anti-Terrorism Law Media Warner Not to Serve Terrorist Purposes, DAILY MONITOR, June 2, 2009, available at http://allafrica.com/stories/200906020244.html.)
The draft law delegates to the law enforcement authorities more powers to detain suspects who do not manifest clear intent to commit a terrorist attack and to intercept telephone and email communications. It prohibits any association or contact with terrorist organizations. It makes cooperation with authorities on matters of terrorism mandatory and failure to notify law enforcement agencies of terror plots a crime of omission punishable by law. It provides for the establishment of a National Committee of Anti-Terrorism Coordinating Office, consisting of the Ministry of Justice, the Central Intelligence and Information Agency, and the Federal Police. (Id.)
According to State Ministers of the Government Communication Affairs Bureau, Shimelis Kemal and Ermias Legesse, the draft law seeks to impose strict criminal liability on any media outlet that disseminates information that "voice[s] out the intention of terrorists." (Id.) Kemal and Legesse insist that the draft law was modeled after similar laws in Australia, Canada, South Africa, Uganda, the United Kingdom, and the United States, that its provisions do not derogate from the constitutionally guaranteed rights afforded to common criminals, and that it provides for judicial oversight of law enforcement actions. (Id.)

...The motor is the reason the industry has designated the Toester the Model "T".
The Model"T" is the only unit on the market that uses a rugged, expensive, 4-pole, encased motor with that Transflow-fan perfectly balanced on it's oversized bearing and shaft.
By using this motor and fan arrangement the Model "T" has been able to avoid all bearing and alignment generated burnout problems that have besieged our competitors and their customers. Their continued use of the inexpensive 2 pole skeletal motor with a long blower attached, while cost effective, is unreliable.
...The grill is also another innovation of the Model "T" unit. The grill is made of an ultra-durable and virtually indestructable lexan plastic, to visually conceal the unit and protect it from probe damage.
In addition the grills special design allows the cool air to be taken in from the sides with warm air expelled through the center. Our grill prevents the recycling of warmed air, a problem that is found in those units whose cold air intake is located above their warm air outlet.
..The Model "T: comes with a HI-OFF-LOW wall mountable switch. The unit operates perfectly well without the switch by actuating itself through a built-in temperature sensing T-Stat. While the switch could be mounted at the factory on the grill face, as is currently fashionable, the Model "T" is too sensible to offer this feature. Once the Model "T" is installed it is really tucked away at floor level beneath the lip of the cabinet. To operate a switch mounted in this location it is necessary to lay on the floor. While this may be fine for children, the Model "T" is so old fashioned it believes the switch should be mounted where adults can determine it's use.
..There have been over 50 thousand of the Model "T" Toesters installed over the last decade. Almost 98% have required No Service What-So Ever.
The Model "T" just keeps doing what it is supposed to do...Quietly and unobtrusively providing heat with no problems.
FAN MOTOR: Shaded 4 pole encased motor with two speed, 110v 60hz U.L. approved.
HEAT EXCHANGER: Copper tube with 7 fins per inch aluminum finning.
CONTROLS: Wall mountable 2 speed-off fan switch. Clip-on bi-metal snap disc heat sensing thermostat.
WATER CONNECTORS: Flow and return pipes are 1/2" sweat connections. A special bleed valve is located on the outlet pipe.

Dhofar holds potential for wide range of crops
By Kaushalendra Singh –
SALALAH — The southwesterly monsoon, which hit Dhofar's Jebal (mountain) areas annually, leave immense potential for agriculture in whole of the governorate. Experiments done by the Ministry of Agriculture have encouraging results which suggest that besides various citrus varieties, coffee and grapes can be successfully grown in these areas.
According to Professor Gamaleldin Abdel Hay Hamid, Pomologist, Dhofar is one of the most important agricultural areas in the Sultanate, occupying almost one third of the total area of the country.
"This area has a unique climate which is considered one of its kind in the whole Arabian Peninsula. It has the most diverse topography extending from Salalah plain in the coastal region up to the wooded hills (Dhofar Jabel) which reaches up to 1500-metre elevation followed by the desert or 'Nejd' area. This wide diversity in climate and topography makes the region suitable for growing a wide range of fruit crops," he says.
Tropical fruits like banana, coconut and papaya are dominating in the coastal areas or Salalah plain. Besides, fruits like lime, guava, pomegranate, fig and custard apple are also grown in limited areas of Salalah plain.
"Besides them, a wide range of exotic fruit trees have been introduced to Salalah plain during the last two decades for trial and many of them have been found well adapted to the local conditions," said Professor Gamaleldin.
Fruits in this category are grapes, avocado, sapota, bread fruit, egg fruit, jack fruit, passion fruit, star fruit, pitahaya, pineapple and star apple. These fruits, according to Prof Gamaleldin, provide good opportunity for adopting them as commercial fruits. They can fetch good money because they cannot be grown elsewhere in whole of the Gulf region.
The land here is fertile compared to other neighbouring countries. The efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture are bearing the fruits, as fruits from Salalah are becoming popular in the GCC countries. Fruit trees occupy about 58 per cent of the total planted agricultural area in Oman, a major population of them are located in Salalah.
"The desert (Nejd area) provides suitable climate for growing excellent date cultivars, as it is well practically demonstrated now in date palm planting in the area," said Prof Gamaleldin. Prof Gamaleldin finds great potential for growing many varieties of exotic tropical and subtropical fruits in and around Salalah due to its unique climatic conditions.
"Here we can grow many varieties of exotic tropical and subtropical fruits, which cannot be grown in any other part of the country or even in the Gulf region. This great advantage can possibly make Salalah plain the tropical fruit basket of the whole region."
He, however, suggests massive agricultural extension work supported by some other technical and financial efforts to make this dream true.
Commenting on the challenges of keeping the fruit plants healthy, Prof Gamaleldin said: "Fruit trees, in general, are not difficult to grow but some basics should be followed to achieve success. Trees planted in the suitable soil type should be provided with right balance of water, nutrients, sunlight and ventilation."
However in Salalah, the prevailing high humidity conditions are inductive for many fungal diseases. Much care is required during handling, planting of fruit tree seedlings.
In addition to that avoiding excess watering and carefully applying some other important post harvest cultural practices and techniques are of vital importance in order to avoid pests and disease problems. Besides treatment of such problems needs immediately, water salinity problems need to be solved because this stands as one of the main limiting factor for extending fruit production in certain areas of Salalah plain, he said.
Prof Gamaleldin strongly believes that fruit production in Salalah gives a boost to the economy and says: "I believe that export of fruits like dates, bananas and papayas can be of significant benefit to the growers as well as to the country as a whole."

Cobra King Cobra S9-1 M Offset (Drivers)
Cobra | Drivers | Add A Review
The 460cc S9-1 is available in six Speed Tuned models: F, M, M Offset, Senior's, Women's and Offset Women's. It features a large, state-of-the-art clubface sporting Cobra's patented Milled Dual Rhombus Face Insert Technology. The lightweight, longer 45.5" shaft, and lighter clubhead weight (6 grams lighter) help generate increased ball speed, while the clubhead's optimized weighting and face curvature optimize accuracy for all player types. New subtle dimples on the crown make for a cleaner, sleek look at address.
Discretionary weight is used to optimize each model's CG location, which gets progressively more draw-biased from the F model to the M to the M Offset. Thus, the F is square-faced and Speed Tuned to produce a slight draw-bias ball flight, high launch and low-mid spin; the M a draw-bias ball flight, high launch and mid spin; and M Offset a maximum draw-bias ball flight, extra-high launch and mid spin.
A low-and-back CG improves launch, spin and ball flight, while optimized face bulge-and-roll helps reduce spin variance for increased distance on shots hit across the face. Whether a golfer's ball speed is an extreme 150+ mph (X), a fast 125 to 155 mph (F), or a more moderate 110 to 140 mph (M), there's an optimal S9-1 clubhead/shaft combination that will maximize that player's ball flight, accuracy and distance.
The S9-1 M Drivers (US$375) are offered in lofts of 10.5° and 11.5°, and S9-1 M Offset in 9.5° and 10.5° all standard with Cobra/Aldila DVS-HL shafts.

Butter London Lippy Tinted Balm Review & Swatches
Meet the new Butter London Lippy Tinted Balm is a new hybrid balm slash lipstick that launched recently with Butter London's new Bespoken Cosmetic Collection. The Butter London Lippy Tinted Balm six shades for $20 each.
Let's take a look yes?
I think as both a lip balm and a lipstick Butter London Lippy Tinted Balm makes for an excellent hybrid formula. These have a lighter balmy texture with a semi-matte finish that provides a nice bit of medium color coverage to lips. I think if you like the benefits of a balm in a lipstick style formula that's lacks shimmer and sparkle you should get on well with these. Like a balm they do offer some moisture…they kinda have the texture of an EOS Lip Sphere to me with a bit of waxy element. Color lasts fairly long without fading or migrating and I see about a four hour wear from the balm before it wears away at hour five and leaves a pleasant staining effect behind. They have a high sheen finish and a very faint vanillish taste which thankfully is pleasant when compared to the too strong flavor and fragrance of Butter London's Lippy Lipglosses.
Strawberry Field
I think it's difficult to combine elements of different products into a single product but Butter London does a rather great job of capture the application and color of a lipstick here with the moisturizing balminess of a lip balm product.
Overall, Butter London Lippy Tinted Balm proves an interesting product for those seeking the benefits of a balm with the color of a lipstick and proves that Butter London isn't JUST about nails!
The Butter London Cosmetic Collection is available now at Ulta and Ulta.com

I'm neutral and open-minded about full English independence. A fairer electoral system with an English Parliament and a fairer distribution of English wealth would be enough for me. So how would you sell me full English independence instead?
I'm neutral and open-minded about full English independence. A fairer electoral system with an English Parliament and a fairer distribution of English wealth would be enough for me. So how would you sell me full English independence instead?
You wouldn't need an extra English Parliament, for starters.
A devolved English parliament wouldn't be able to make decisions on defence, foreign policy, benefit reform, broadcasting, taxation etc.
An English parliament doesn't necessarily have to come about before English independence. Think of it this way; wouldn't a devolved England be easier to govern than an England in a federal UK? Our opponents argue to death that we already have an "English" parliament in Westminster!
Then there's the question of remaining Britain in post-Scottish independence. Would you rather be England or a part of some confused nation without a name?
It should be the duty af all true English Nationalists to do all that they can, however minor, to help ensure that the people of Scotland vote for total independence!
English Independence should be at the heart of everything any English Nationalist does.
We need not just a parliament of our own, but complete freedom so that the people of England can decide the future of our Nation without interference from either the British Elite or the EU bureaucrats.
To get Independence,we need to come together, in a campaign group and have a party anyone supportive can both join & vote for. Only by having both will people be able to do something constructive for English Independence, but also it will show others they are not alone in their belief of a free England & will encourage them to join together and get active.
Now more than ever we need to stand up and cry 'Independence for England!'
Working alongside fellow nationalists in Scotland, Wales & Ulster,let us do this as equals, determined to free our respective lands.
From this we can create a British Isles federation & a non EU alternative, where everyone works for the common good.
Let us all look to put the need for English Independence above all. Its the only way.

I'm not quite so convinced about defence - I would think the nations of the British Isles would continue to work very closely in that area and come to some joint agreement.
Foreign policy would be affected, true.
Surely at Independence time the house of lords would be redundant so could the chamber be used for an advisory house that addresses the international affairs under instruction from the national parliaments?

According an EasyVista survey, which was answered by over 280 IT Enterprise executives and ITSM experts across the globe, the overwhelming sentiments are unhappiness with their current solution, unawareness of how much additional code tweaking and customization actually costs the organization – and, significantly, a willingness to address that dissatisfaction by changing their service desk solution.
Perhaps a clear indicator that there's been a shift in thinking, and organizations are looking to replace their legacy systems with codeless, fully integrated and customer-driven ITSM Software.
Nearly 87% of respondents said they felt negatively toward their current service desk solution. Of these, 17.4% said they cannot afford to change solutions now; 18.9% said their hands are tied to their existing solution; and 25.8% complain that there is always an additional cost when asking their vendor to do anything.
The results show that ITSM vendors are deliberately 'muddying the waters' when it comes to additional costs. For 51.5% of respondents, their number one long term cost is incurred by daily code tweaking, above their existing maintenance and integration contracts. 48.4% don't know how much unexpected cost coding added, but 12.6% estimate that it added at least 50% of the initial ITSM solution purchase cost.
The two major ongoing pains of today's users of service desk solutions are for 51.8%, reporting, and for 51.3%, customizing the system, largely above consultancy to set-up and integrate the system.
Those ongoing pains mean that a significant 24.7% are now actively looking to replace their service desk solution. For those willing and able to change to a new solution, only 11% think that it is not important to have a codeless, customizable service desk solution. 36% this it is important, 41.5% say very important and 11.5% an absolute necessity.
Be aware that the survey is still on. If you'd like to contribute, don't hesitate to log and give us your feedback. You may end-up winning an iPad too.

Knog Skink lights, tool and gloves
Knog Skink lights, tool and gloves
Previous News
Next News
Knog were showing off their funky Beetle (2 LED), Gekko (3 LED) and Skink (4 LED) lights at Eurobike - they use a similar silicon rubber mount to Knog's more expensive light systems which means you can mount then pretty much anywhere there's space. We've got a front Skink and rear Beetle to test, so we'll give them a run out at our 12hr relay race on Saturday and let you know what they're like. They certainly look cool... Coming from an industrial design background Knog's gear is always pretty good looking, and usually works well to boot. We're a big fan of their bags, and the Gator light systems are high quality commuting gear too. Also on the Knog stand at Eurobike were the diminutive new tool range, the most fully featured of which packs 18 tools (including a chain tool and a pedal spanner) into a 48mmx48mm case. Their range of Goatskin commuter gloves was also pretty smart.
Lost my Topeak back light this morning... first pothole on my first commute on my new Bowery, it bounced under the wheels of the car behind me. Must admit the clip attachment to the rack was pretty naff - not recommended!
They look good but, are the Knog ones able to rotate with changes in seat pin and seat stay angles or are they fixed?

Don't know what kind of commuting the folks at Knog do, but I don't think the Stars and Stripes goatskin fellas will go with my normal commuting ensemble (i.e. my normal duds)
Last time I saw gloves like that, they were on some American bloke rocket biking across the Grand Canyon.
Like the mini multi tool though - wonder if any of the tools actually work?
Can't keep up this sustainability thing for long

Yeah they seem pretty good, you can't rotate them through 90deg or anything like that, but the nature of the one-piece rubber fixing system means that they should fix to pretty much any part of your bike, even quite flat section seat-stays, just tried it out with the front ones (which also fit okay on oversized bars - with a bit of a stretch). The rear light is much the same, but smaller… small enough that I put it down and now I can't find it.

Vybz Kartel trial hits snag
The trial of dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel hit a snag when it was called up for mention in the Corporate Area Resident Magis-trate's Court yesterday. Kartel was before the courts for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer is charged jointly with Andre 'Pim Pim' Henry and fellow entertainer Vanessa 'Gaza Slim' Saddler.
unserved documents
The conspiracy case did not get under way today because the prosecution had not served all the required documents on the defence. Saddler and Henry are out on bond. However, Vybz Kartel remains in remand.
Allegations are that Kartel and Gaza Slim were part of a plot to undermine police investigation into the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams.
Kartel has been fingered in the killing as well as the plot to kill Williams, whose body has not been found.
Saddler had filed a report with the Constant Spring police claiming that Williams assaulted her during a robbery in Havendale, St Andrew, last year.
Her claim was made five days after Kartel was charged with William's murder.
It is believed that Saddler and the other co-accused fabricated the story to make it appear that Williams was still alive.

The Panama Canal
The control of malaria was vital for the construction of the Panama Canal. The discovery by Major Ronald Ross that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes had tremendous impact on development programs in the tropics. One of the first of these was the construction of the Panama Canal, which began within a few years after Dr. Ross's discovery. During the American occupation of Havana, Cuba, regulations were put into effect by the United States Army for the control of yellow fever that consisted of the screening of houses and extensive drainage to reduce breeding of mosquitoes. Not only was yellow fever eliminated, but malaria transmission was also greatly reduced. Work in Havana was under the direction of Surgeon Major W. C. Gorgas.
In 1904, the Isthmian Canal Commission, accompanied by Col. W. C. Gorgas, Medical Corps, U. S. Army, John W. Ross, Medical Director, U. S. Navy, Capt. C. E. Gillette, Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, and Maj. Louis A. LaGarde, Medical Corps, U. S. Army, as experts on sanitation inspected the potential site of construction. These experts prepared a plan for the sanitation of the Canal Zone and the cities of Panama and Colon. On June 30, 1904, the Sanitary Department was formed with Colonel Gorgas as its head.
The Isthmus of Panama was an ideal environment for mosquitoes. The high temperature varies little during the year. The rainy season lasts for nine months and the interior of the Isthmus is tropical jungle, ideal for mosquito breeding. The Panama Canal extends diagonally across the Isthmus of Panama from south-east to north-west, a distance of 42 miles from shore to shore. At Panama, the antimalarial work was principally rural, located for 47 miles along the line of the railroad between Panama and Colon. The population was about 80,000 living within half a mile of the railroad and occupying some 30 villages and camps or isolated houses. Malaria was so abundant that in Colon, it was estimated that one-sixth of the population was suffering from malarial attacks during each week.
An integrated program of mosquito control was initiated that involved seven basic programs that were strictly enforced. These were, in order of importance:
- Drainage: All pools within 200 yards of all villages and 100 yards of all individual houses were drained. Subsoil drainage was preferred followed by concrete ditches. Lastly, open ditches were constructed. Paid inspectors made sure ditches remained free of obstructions.
- Brush and grass cutting: All brush and grass was cut and maintained at less than one foot high within 200 yards of villages and 100 yards of individual houses. The rationale was that mosquitoes would not cross open areas over 100 yards.
- Oiling: When drainage was not possible along the grassy edges of ponds and swamps, oil was added to kill mosquito larvae.
- Larviciding: When oiling was not sufficient, larvaciding was done. At the time, there were no commercial insecticides. Joseph Augustin LePrince, Chief Sanitary Inspector for the Canal Zone developed a larvacide mixture of carbolic acid, resin and caustic soda that was spread in great quantity.
- Prophylactic quinine: Quinine was provided freely to all workers along the construction line at 21 dispensaries. In addition, quinine dispensers were on all hotel and mess tables. On average, half of the work force took a prophylactic dose of quinine each day.
- Screening: Following the great success in Havana, all governmental buildings and quarters were screened against mosquitoes.
- Killing adult mosquitoes: Because the mosquitoes usually stayed in the tent or the house after feeding, collectors were hired to gather the adult mosquitoes that remained in the houses during the daytime. This proved to be very effective. Mosquitoes that were collected in tents were examined by Dr. Samuel T. Darling, Chief of the Board of Health Laboratory. Cost of adult mosquito killing was $3.50/per capita/per year for whole population of the strip.
The result of this malaria program was eradication of yellow fever and a dramatic decrease in malaria deaths. The death rate due to malaria in employees dropped from 11.59 per 1,000 in November 1906 to 1.23 per 1,000 in December 1909. It reduced the deaths from malaria in the total population from a maximum of 16.21 per 1,000 in July 1906 to 2.58 per 1,000 in December 1909.
Among the work force, the percentage of employees hospitalized due to malaria was 9.6% in December 1905, 5.7% in 1906, 1.8% in 1907, 3.0% in 1908, and 1.6% in 1909. Malaria continued to be a challenge throughout the entire construction program.
The Panama Canal was the construction miracle of the beginning of the 20th century. It also was a great demonstration of malaria control based on an integrated mosquito control program enforced by the military. Malaria was not eliminated. However, under these most trying conditions, the disease was controlled to the extent that the construction work could be completed.
Drs. Gorgas, LePrince, and Darling are remembered as pioneers for their leadership in the control of malaria during this period. The Gorgas Memorial Laboratory in Panama, named after Col. Gorgas, remained a leading research center for tropical disease research throughout the 20th century. The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene every 3 years awards the Joseph Augustin LePrince Medal in recognition of outstanding work in the field of malariology. Professor Darling is honored by the Darling medal and prize, which is awarded by the Darling Foundation for outstanding achievements in the pathology, etiology, epidemiology, therapy, prophylaxis, or control of malaria. An examination of references 2, 3, and 5 will give details of the work of these pioneer malariologists in the control of malaria in the construction of the Panama Canal.

Perfume Genius was on the lineup for Poland's OFF Festival last weekend and played two new songs from his upcoming album Too Bright. He started the show off with album opener "I Decline," which is a true-to-form contemplative piano ballad, and later played "My Body," which is a much noisier and experimental track. This isn't the first time he's played either song live: they showed up on his setlist at SXSW and at a show in Tokyo, but it is the first time there's good quality video of them. Watch below — "I Decline" is at the very beginning and "My Body" starts at the 10-minute mark.

*Gasp* oh valar, Elrond are in for it now isn't he? :S
Again; great! You really walk the fine line between to much violence and just enough. But I like it! Continue in the same way! Also I must say you are very good in writing Elrond's thoughts and feelings. I must know what happens next, please update!
Hey, i've read eight chapters of this before, though you never finished. I read something about you not being content with it. Anyway, I loooved it and I am sooo glad that you decided to give this another try!! Update soon please!
Author's Response: I wasn't satisfied with how the story was going, especially the later chapters, so I decided to redo everything. Every chapter except the prologue has been completely rewritten (though the settings are basically the same.) I'm glad you are enjoying this, and thank you for the review!
WOW!! Please keep writing!
If you don't think your story warrants an AU, don't worry about it. :)
The thing is, you have a note saying M/M rape, which does come under the 'slash' warning. Anything M/M squicks some people, so rather than people reading your story and liking it, and suddenly ripping into you because of a mention of male rape, I think it's worth putting slash, and then a note actually in your summary stating that it's a plot point, and not a theme all through the story. Then people can decide. (It just lowers the possibility of any complaints to you, you know, covering all the angles. :))
Author's Response: Got it, and it's fixed. Thanks!
I like your writing very much.
This seems unusual. I like Elrond of the books and his history, but not of the film, so I shall probably follow this while thinking of Ebe Kastein's portrait of a beautiful Elrond. (As I have to when I mention him in stories)
I am a thorough angst and slash fan and also write character death, so that intrigues me rather than otherwise.
Only one thing, if there is any slash, rape, AU etc you have to add that in warnings, along with violence etc, even if the rape, slash etc only in one chapter, as some people are very anti slash and may report you for not warning them, even though you have put it in the chapter notes. Better to be safe than sorry, and add every warning that might be necessary. Don't worry, there are plenty of slash/AU/angst readers on here, too d;-)
Take care.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! If by slash you mean consensual male/male romance, then there isn't any in this story. As for the AU warning, AU in my mind was always something like "Lord of the Rings characters in modern day" or "Frodo doesn't destroy the Ring", etc. There is slight AU near the end of the story, but I wasn't sure if that warranted an AU warning. I've written the extra warnings in the summary, though, so I hope that helps. Thank you for the suggestion.
Interesting. I think this is a good beginning of a series. Continue! I'm very intested.

Special Education Support
Math Curriculum
As the Denver Public Schools' website reminds parents of middle school children, "…students the world over will one day compete for resources to get ahead. With technological advances and global commerce framing their paths to success, students who have insight and a creative attitude, and who have been disciplined in mathematical reasoning and communication will be better positioned respond to the needs of a global economy." Better positioned indeed, and for an endless number of endeavors; put simply, our students must be afforded a first-rate mathematical education. That is exactly what we provide at Grant. At GBMS our mathematical mission is straightforward: provide each student with a top-notch teacher, well-researched and analyzed Essential Learning Goals (ELGs), a superior curriculum, differentiated classrooms and small class sizes. This formula produces outstanding results, confirmed through a variety of assessment data.
Essential Learning Goals are the driving force behind our mathematical instruction. ELGs inform and guide students as to exactly the concepts and skills they need to master to make the progression towards mathematical competency. Additionally, the ELGs permit teachers to readily determine student needs by providing a continuous appraisal of individual student needs. Teachers are able to constantly monitor and adjust the rate of instruction for every child, re-teaching specific lessons, adding interventions and even individual tutoring where necessary.
Guided by our ELGs, Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) provides the curriculum at Grant as the CMP website states, "All students should be able to reason and communicate proficiently in mathematics. They should have knowledge of and skill in the use of the vocabulary, forms of representation, materials, tools, techniques, and intellectual methods of the discipline of mathematics, including the ability to define and solve problems with reason, insight, inventiveness and proficiency." Included in these intellectual methods is the ability to write about mathematics as a wide body of research has concluded that the ability to write and communicate about difficult subject matter affords a much keener understanding of that material and its processes.
At Grant all classes are differentiated: "Partially Proficient" students are enabled by their peers through collaboration with students functioning at higher levels, while "Advanced" and "Proficient" students constantly hone fundamentals while practicing the "building blocks" of mathematics. Honors students are given additional, high-level homework and an additional once-a-week-project based skills class two or three times per week where they further enhance their abilities, while less proficient students receive skills classes two additional days a week designed to bring them up to pace with their grade level. As a result of our extremely small class sizes, all math students receive an abundance of personal attention, weekly progress monitoring, and modification of instruction.
Mathletics is a series of DPS math competitions that are designed to to challenge and advance our top math students. The topics are selected to improve math skills among sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders who are at a crucial stage in developing and sustaining math interest and ability. Along with the competition, GBMS has created a Pre-AP Math Enrichment course that allows students time to work on the Mathletics topics, as well as explore various other areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.)
All students at GBMS are provided with an ALEKS account free of charge in order to provide students with the advantages of one-on-one instruction, 24/7, from virtually any Web-based computer. Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces is a Web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course she is taking.

One of the fundamental requirements of Grid computing is efficient and effective resource discovery mechanism. Resource discovery involves discovery of appropriate resources required by user applications. In this regard
various resource discovery mechanisms have been proposed during the recent
years. These mechanisms range from centralized to hierarchical information servers approach. Most of the techniques developed based on these approaches have scalability and fault tolerance limitations. To overcome these limitations Peer to Peer based discovery mechanisms are proposed.

Attaching Security Policies to Individual Operations
The earliest version of WS-SecurityPolicy implemented during early days of Metro/WSIT did not allow Binding Assertions to be attached to any scope other than the EndPoint scope. The latest versions of WS-SecurityPolicy specification allows Binding Assertions to be attached to operation scope.
We had a bug in our Metro code which prevented this from working correctly all these days. With latest metro 2.0 nightly builds starting 2nd July you should be able to use this feature.
My team member suresh has nore details on it here
We have also asked our NetBeans Plugin Expert to make this feature available via NetBeans. Until then you would have to manually place the policy references at the operation scope.

"Play On!" proves that in the world of theater, occasionally nothing goes as planned. Everything you prepare and rehearse can fly out the window and chaos replaces order.
It appears this is an accurate message because the Olions Thespian Club, the Los Alamos High School drama club, experienced an obstacle during the Saturday performance of "Play On!"
One member of the cast, because of a prior commitment, was not able to appear during the first act. As a result, the ticket sales were put on hold, and a question, hung in the air; would the show go on?
Well, unlike the characters in "Play On!" the Olions know how to effectively handle a set back. An understudy, Chip Carter, filled the role of the actor Saul Watson. And for only having 45-minutes to prepare for the role, he did a really good job. The show did in fact go on without a hitch.
"Play On!" gives the audience a look of what goes on before the curtain goes up on opening night.
It's not a pretty picture, but it sure is funny.
In the play, a local theater company is preparing for its production of "A Murder Most Foul." It's not going smoothly. The director is getting angry, the playwright is meddling and the actors are forgetting their lines.
