Even on the mind of Phillida, as she now listened to Mrs. Frankland, the accessories made a difference.
Mr. Frankland had written home the most glowing account of the scenery.
Old Frankland was busy in his little garden, when he heard the voices of his children, who were coming towards him.
The words here written are poor beside what Mrs. Frankland said.
Mrs. Frankland said this with persuasive plaintiveness of tone.
And who shall say that Mrs. Frankland's missionary impulse was not a true one?
The new landlord came into the country; and a few days after his arrival, old Frankland went to wait upon him.
Charley, I do wish you could have heard Mrs. Frankland's talk to-day.
I really am sorry for you, Mr. Frankland; very sorry, extremely sorry.
Mrs. Frankland, I wanted to speak to you about Miss Callender.

Soroptimist of Cameron Park /El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park Rotary host the Silver Anniversary Show and Shine and Fly In, benefiting local projects and programs, on Oct. 4 at the Cameron Airpark.
This event began a quarter century ago with a group of airpark residents, giving them a chance to display their airplanes along with the automobiles. After a time, the presentation of the event was assumed by the Optimist Club, which gifted the opportunity to Soroptimist of Cameron Park and they enlisted the participation of the Cameron Park Rotary.
The event has grown over the years. In 2013 there were approximately 200 cars and 45 airplanes on display. The attendees were treated to a fly over by Chuck Wahl of Vultures Row and his pilot friends.
This exciting family event is free admission (parking is $4) and activities will include breakfast by Rotary Team Pancake at 7 a.m. and a performance of the Ponderosa High School band at 10 a.m. Lunch will start at 11 a.m. and beer and wine will be available.
This year, the attractions include Julie Clark, a living legend of aviation, displaying her American Aerobatics plane. Julie is sponsoring the raffle of a pedal plane, painted to replicate her own plane. Raffle tickets are available before the event as well as the day of the event. Winner need not be present.
In addition, there will be live bands, DJs, vendor booths, sweet treats and a Kid Zone for the kids with a bounce house, face painting and a demonstration booth by a local bee keeper.
The day concludes with awards for the prize-winning cars and airplanes at 2:30 p.m.

The simple answer to the headline is yes, but the more complex answer to that question is not yet.
There really are two ways to interpret any questions about Alex Murphy and if his not playing in Duke's season opener is anything to be concerned about. In my opinion it is a concern for the short term, but shouldn't be a problem in the long run.
If we look at the immediate impacts of him not playing, there is plenty of reason to be worried. Murphy was supposed to be Duke's best wing player after a season where the Blue Devils really didn't have any answers on the wing. The 6-foot-8 redshirt freshman started both of Duke's exhibition games but he didn't look particularly good in either.
In the first exhibition against Western Washington Murphy scored 6 points, grabbed 4 rebounds in 19 minutes. In the second tune up, he scored only 2 points and got 5 rebounds in only 14 minutes. In comparison he was generally out played by true freshman Amile Jefferson who put up good numbers, but more importantly, he brought a burst of life to the Blue Devils.
So, based on those two games I wasn't entirely surprised that Murphy didn't start but was a bit shocked that he never even saw the floor against Georgia State. Speculation grew quickly. Some thought he may be sick or injured, but it was clear from watching him in warm ups that he physically looked fine.
When he was asked after the game a very subdued looking Murphy said he was healthy but nothing more. His coach when asked was cryptic at best.
"We didn't get to where Alex would play. But Alex has got to be able to play," Mike Krzyzewski said.
That first part has to be a bit alarming, but again only for the short term. Duke needs a guy with Murphy's talent. The performance of Jefferson has been a pleasant surprise, but at this stage in their careers, Murphy should be the better player and as of right now he isn't.
With Krzyzewski not one to throw his players under a bus, all we can do is speculate that Murphy isn't doing something in practice, or isn't playing with the level of intensity that Krzyzewski demands. It could be a lack of communication, poor execution or focus on the defensive end, the list of possible reasons for the benching are there.
And if he isn't doing something right it isn't that unusal for Krzyzewski to send his players a message by not starting or playing them in games. He has certainly done this before. And if Jefferson continues to play like he is he could steal some of those minutes intended for Murphy.
That may not seem like a bad thing, but when Duke needs another scorer out on the floor, Jefferson for all he has offered, can't really offer the Blue Devils that yet. In games where perimeter players get hurt, or in foul trouble, a guy with the versatility of Murphy will be important in those cases as Duke isn't particularly deep in the back court.
He can play on the perimeter and could potentially play some guard, but if he doesn't have the confidence of his coach he won't play. And that is a big problem for the Blue Devils if they want to achieve some of their more lofty goals this season.
So the short term issues are problematic but some of the long term concerns I've been hearing, including transferring, I believe are way too premature to speculate about.
The positive part of Krzyzewski's very brief statement on Murphy is that he said "Alex has got to be able to play." To me that indicates that Krzyzewski believes that Murphy can perform at a level that will help the team. If he didn't he would have never even mentioned that fact.
Later in his post game press conference he also brought up the fact that Duke needs all 10 of their guys to play. That 10 would include Murphy so there is reason to believe that Krzyzewski realizes that the team is better with him than without.
The long term repercussions of whatever the issue is with Murphy, in my opinion, isn't a concern; at least not yet. I'll concede that the situation, whatever it is isn't good and it appears to be, based on Krzyzewski's comment, something that Murphy will have to work on.
If he can do that then the long term issues won't be worth thinking about, but if the issue isn't resolved, and Murphy continues to sit, well I don't have to tell you what happens to players who have talent but don't play enough and aren't willing to wait.
All of this though is just talk from fans and curious media types. It is only one game and there are just too many things that are unknown but chances are that the next game against Kentucky won't only be a telling one for the Duke team, but for Murphy's development as well.

Syracuse Schools Establish "Student Advocacy" Program
Syracuse schools will establish a "student advocacy" program to provide information and advice to students and families of students facing suspensions.
The district school board approved the program and allocated about $280,000 to pay Syracuse's Center for Community Alternatives to create and operate it. The program will help students understand their rights and responsibilities. Superintendent Sharon Contreras says in some cases parents and even students don't know to show up for hearings to protect their rights.

Fatigue normal or due to thyroid?
- Question from Kathy: I am still plagued by fatigue, even after 1 year out from chemotherapy and radiation. Many times I am so tired, I feel ill. I get regular checkups with my oncologist, with blood tested every 3 months. All is within the "normal limits." Should I have my thyroid levels tested, or am I just one of the unlucky ones that will have continued fatigue for an unknown time?
Answers -
Tish Knobf
It is not unusual for some persons after combined therapies for cancer to experience fatigue for longer than a year. And it's sometimes a year and a half before you get back to your normal energy levels. Your energy levels may be influenced by whether you are continuing to be a couch potato or whether you have begun to do some physical activity like walking every day. You can become unconditioned if you haven't resumed some daily physical activity.
Related to your question about should your thyroid be checked, there are some cases where women who have had breast cancer have had some thyroid problems, so that's a very reasonable question to ask your physician.
If you haven't begun any physical activity you should start slowly, according to what you can do. You can do 10 minutes. If you have a pedometer, the goal with a pedometer is 10,000 steps a day. So, with a pedometer you just start with the number of steps you walk each day and increase it by 50 to 100 steps each day as long as you can tolerate it, until you can reach a higher goal.
How to prepare for chemotherapy?
- Question from Sarah: I am newly diagnosed with stage III and have not started my chemotherapy yet. Any recommendations to prepare for this journey?
- Answers - Tish Knobf I think the first thing when you're embarking on a new course of chemotherapy is to make sure that you have the information about the treatments and the predicted most likely side effects you are going to experience, so you are prepared to manage the side effects successfully. Most women with breast cancer who receive the chemotherapy before surgery react very much the same as any other chemotherapy. So, it's knowing what drugs you're on and having the information to successfully manage any potential side effects. To prevent the fatigue commonly associated with chemotherapy, it's best if you can initiate mild-to-moderate daily exercise such as walking 10-20 minutes every day. We know from research that even for patients who are on treatment, small amounts of exercise each day, like walking 20 minutes, can actually prevent fatigue.
- Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. Nutrition is the fuel for your body and you need the proper fuel to prevent the fatigue. So you'll need a balanced diet of lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats in moderate amounts to maintain your weight and keep from gaining weight during chemotherapy, which is common. There are multiple reasons that contribute to weight gain during chemotherapy. Probably thought to be the most common is the decrease in activity that is associated with the therapies and leads to the fatigue.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. Oftentimes patients, and most particularly their family and friends, assume that a woman will have weight loss due to chemotherapy, which was true 30 and 40 years ago. Today, that's not the case. However, because of family and friends assuming it, you will be showered with comfort foods brought to your door -- cakes, pies, pastries -- that are lovely but very high in fat. You may feel required to eat them, because they've been given to you as a present. Family members avoid eating them because it is your present. You should send out a broadcast email saying "One of the best ways to help me is to provide me nutritional support that will be healthy for me during chemotherapy, concentrating on a well-balanced diet rather than comfort foods." That way you can head it off at the pass rather than eating and regretting later.
- Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. What I did was to hand out healthy recipes to my friends who wanted to bring me meals, rather than making them guess what I thought would be healthy. And only in one case did I end up with a bucket of fried chicken on my front doorstep. Lean proteins in general will help, particularly lean red meats, to increase the red blood cell count. Probably the most important thing is lean proteins in general, which will help keep the white blood cell counts up too. You need a lot of proteins to actually make the blood cells and rebuilt muscle and tissues damaged in therapy.
Can fatigue last for years after treatment?
- Question from Anonymous: My treatment has been bi-lateral mastectomy, Adriamycin/Cytoxin/Taxol, radiation, and Herceptin. Can fatigue resulting from this treatment be ongoing for months, and even years? It has been over 1 year since my last treatment, and I'm still fatigued more than normal.
Answers -
Tish Knobf
That is a long treatment for breast cancer, and it is not unreasonable that fatigue continues for months, if not for a year or year and a half. We have limited longitudinal research that tracks women for a year or year and a half. We have found for some women, particularly if they're symptomatic from the Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel) they've received, and if they have muscle aches and joint pain, many of those tensions can contribute to the feelings of fatigue. And, combined with not wanting to engage in physical activity, it can become a vicious cycle of resting and the more you rest, the more fatigued you get.
Just think if you're in bed with the flu for a week, you don't on day 8 get up and feel terrific. It takes quite a bit longer than that after a week of not being active to regain your energy. It's very analogous with your breast cancer treatment if you've had a very long course of treatment that it's going to take you much longer to recover.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. What about issues associated with a patient's psychological well-being after treatment? For example, feeling clinical depression and figuring out how to emotionally transition back into her life which has been disrupted for so long.
Tish Knobf
The majority of patients when they finish treatment describe it as somewhat of a feeling of abandonment, like they've fallen off a cliff. They've been so busy with treatment, once they are done, for most women they are left on their own to resume a "normal" life. Psychologically or emotionally, the next 6 months are filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and challenges with trying to resume a "normal" life. And many concerns and fear of recurrence surface at a time when the support system of the healthcare providers is much less than when they were in treatment.
We've just recently begun developing supportive programs to help women transition physically and emotionally in the first year after treatment. We know that physical activity after treatment can not only improve fatigue, but it definitely has significant psychological benefits. Women with breast cancer who engage in physical activity feel better, they feel more resilient, they're less depressed. So, there's a definite link between physical energy and psychological resilience.
Megace for fatigue after chemo?
- Question from Nancy: What is your opinion of taking Megace Oral Suspension to help appetite and fatigue after chemotherapy?
- Answers - Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. In the case of this particular drug, it would be best for you to have a consultation with your medical oncologist about why he's prescribing it at this time and what its purpose is.
Continue to exercise with no motivation?
- Question from JanH: It's been 2 months since my last chemotherapy session, and I still find that exercise wears me out, instead of energizing like it used to. Should I wait or continue? I'm a believer in the benefits of regular exercise, but motivation now is hard. Thanks.
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. From personal experience, having experienced profound and prolonged fatigue after my first chemotherapy, what I wish I would have done is actually hire a personal trainer. Retrospectively, that would have helped me get off the couch and actually exercise and have some expertise guiding me so I wasn't trying to overdue it from determination and also guilt at how poorly I was feeling. So, it's a downward spiral and I think having that objective person outside the emotional realm I was in, helping to guide and motivate me, would have been very beneficial.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. I think, if it's not realistic to get a personal trainer, because there might be expense involved, get a friend to exercise with, to be your cheerleader and motivator. That could be helpful. This may not be something you can do by yourself, but having someone there physically with you, supporting you and cheering you on could be a very good motivator.
Acupuncture for fatigue/hot flashes?
- Question from Rita: Any data on effectiveness of acupuncture in combating fatigue and/or hot flashes?
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. I'm not familiar with the bulk of the data on acupuncture. I know there's an NCI-sponsored clinical trial gathering patients right now evaluating the effects of acupuncture on fatigue.
- Tish Knobf There have been a couple of trials with acupuncture for hot flashes and there are conflicting results. So, some studies suggest there may be a benefit and some studies suggest there is not any benefit.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. If your hot flashes are severe you may want to talk with your doctor about trying Effexor (chemical name: venlafaxine), which though it's an anti-depressant, has been proven to reduce hot flashes in women on hormone therapy. There's a wonderful section on breastcancer.org about practical solutions for managing fatigue, hot flashes, and other hormonal therapy side effects.
Tamoxifen to blame for fatigue, memory problems?
- Question from Lisa: I am still fighting fatigue a year after treatment. I wake up feeling like I have been hit by a Mac truck and my memory and vision are not so clear either. Do you think it could be the tamoxifen I am on?
Answers -
Tish Knobf
Memory problems are very common among women who receive chemotherapy. It's not totally clear whether it's related to hormonal changes, either from going into menopause, or being on hormonal therapy, or from the chemotherapy. Or both. And also, I think, physical fatigue and emotional distress can contribute to problems with memory, attention, and concentration. The most common complaints of women are forgetting, having trouble multi-tasking, and not having the same level of concentration as they had before.
Suggestions to help both fatigue and memory problems would be approached in several different ways. For some women, it may be getting some psychological support. For some women it may be trying to increase their physical activity, to begin to increase their stamina. And for other women, they may need to develop skills to help them compensate for the memory problems, such as writing notes or keeping a calendar.
Easier to exercise with Taxol?
- Question from Elizabeth: I planned to continue exercising during my dose-dense AC chemotherapy, but found it difficult because of extreme weakness. Will it be easier during the weekly Taxol?
- Answers - Tish Knobf It is not uncommon with dose-dense AC [Adriamycin (chemical name: doxorubicin) with Cytoxan (chemical name: cyclophosphamide)] to have a low red blood cell count. That may be the reason why physical activity is challenging and you feel fatigued. If you have a low red blood cell count and it's corrected, your physical energy might, in fact, be gradually improving.
Hope for fatigue after 3 years?
- Question from LoriH: I finished chemotherapy and radiation 3 years ago and I still suffer from fatigue. I sleep well but when I wake up I feel like I have been up all night. I exercise and take vitamins, which does not seem to help. Any advice? Will this eventually improve? Thanks.
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. I'm also one of these people who experienced a 3 year fatigue in the time frame between my 2 breast cancers. It was profound and it was prolonged. And, yes, it lifted without any notable reason why. But there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel.
Fatigue after mastectomy normal?
- Question from Roberta: It has been 5 years since my mastectomy and I still do not feel like myself. Regular errands and housework just seem to take all my energy away. Is this normal?
- Answers - Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. You mention that your treatment was mastectomy, but didn't comment on whether you had additional treatment afterwards. Assuming that your treatment was limited to mastectomy surgery and it has been 5 years ago would make me question whether or not the residual "side effects" that you're experiencing may be linked to your psychological well-being. I encourage women to look at mastectomy surgery as transformation surgery. The mission was for your surgeon to transform you from a breast cancer victim into a survivor. So, I hope when you look down you don't see that your breast is gone, you see that the cancer is gone.
How to build red blood counts?
- Question from J: How do I build up my red blood counts?
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. A low red blood count can be due to several reasons. It can be iron deficiency or it could be folic acid deficiency, or more uncommonly Vitamin B12 deficiency. The first step is always to know why your red blood cell count is depressed. If it is iron-deficiency anemia, foods such as liver and other lean red meats are good sources of iron. Plant foods also have iron but you need to add accompanying food with high amounts of Vitamin C to help with the absorption of the iron.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. I'll add that many people don't like liver but there are many ways to disguise it, such as chicken livers wrapped in bacon and broiled. Then what you are really tasting is the bacon and not the liver.
Overcome fatigue while continuing treatment?
- Question from Lisa: What about for those of us who are never "done" (i.e., stage IV)? How do we balance the physical and emotional changes that we have experienced and overcome fatigue, in spite of the meds we are on and our new physical limitations?
- Answers - Tish Knobf With advanced breast cancer, there are a variety of different treatments today. So, symptoms may be influenced by the specific treatment or by the disease. The success of treatments has nearly transformed breast cancer into a chronic illness with women living many more years than they ever did before. It is important to find resources to help women maintain physical and psychological health. For some women that may be a support group, it may be a partner, it may be a one-on-one counselor, and it may be a health care provider to help manage the fatigue or muscle aches or emotional distress.
How to raise white blood count?
- Question from TerryO: What can be done to raise the plasma count and the white blood count?
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. I'm not sure what you mean by raising the plasma count. The most important thing for actually raising white blood count is making sure you have enough protein in your diet for your body to make the cells. Lean chicken, other poultry, other fish, beans, lean dairy products.
- Tish Knobf For many patients, the bone marrow just needs time to regenerate the cells.
- Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. And time can be variable. For some people it bounces back right away and in other people it takes longer.
How to support fatigued wife on pain meds?
- Question from Steve: My wife has advanced breast cancer and recently began treatment with Navelbine. Within 24 hours of treatment, her fatigue and pain increase. To combat the pain, she is taking Oxycontin. Between the Navelbine and Oxycontin, she has no energy and loses desire to eat well and exercise. What can I do to support her?
- Answers - Tish Knobf When starting a new pain medicine like Oxycontin (chemical name: oxycodone), there is often a transition time for your body to adjust to the symptoms. So, it's not uncommon that you may feel a little more tired, maybe a little less clear in your thinking in the first week or 2. Especially if your dose needs to be adjusted, so you need to speak with your physician and your nurse about the symptoms and the schedule of your medicine.
- Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. When a person is in pain, the most helpful thing is eating small, frequent meals as opposed to typical, traditional large 3 meals a day. Eating what they want, when they want. And as the pain comes under control the appetite and desire to eat will also normalize.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. It's wonderful that you're online representing her this evening with the goal of helping her with her treatment. As we know, breast cancer is a disease that affects not just the patient but everyone who loves her. Don't ever underestimate each moment you spend with her, how valuable that is to her and her fight against this disease.
Help with aversion to food?
- Question from Soyster: I know that it's important to have a balanced diet to manage fatigue, but I have no appetite and sometimes the smell of food or thinking about eating makes me feel sick. Do you have suggestions on how to keep eating during all of this?
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. I think the most important thing is to eat small amounts, more frequently, so the actual sight of a full meal doesn't overwhelm you and decrease your appetite. If you're not able to cook because your fatigue is profound, enlist the help of your family, friends, and all of your support network. Having friends bring your meals also helps eliminate the smell of food cooking in the house, which will help to increase your appetite.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. Consider having peppermint Life Savers or peppermint gum while a meal is being prepared and you're most noticing the odors from the cooking, because peppermint can help offset those strong odors.
- Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. To minimize off tastes, which often are a result of off odors, I found that having lemon slices or lime slices for water to accompany meals was very helpful. It helps in eliminating some of the unusual tastes in my mouth that were the result of the chemotherapy drugs.
- Tish Knobf I have a basket of peppermint in my office that was given to me 20 years ago by a patient, and I refill it every week.
Vitamin supplements for fatigue?
- Question from SandraL: Are there any vitamin supplements suggested to fight fatigue? Thank you.
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. There are a couple of trials going on that are sponsored by the National Cancer Institute that are looking at other dietary components, such as Carnitine supplementation and its effect at eliminating fatigue. Those studies are ongoing, so there are no recommendations at this point.
Provigil for fatigue?
- Question from MVA: Can you take Provigil for fatigue?
- Answers - Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. None of the three of us are familiar with that so we can't weigh in on it.
- Tish Knobf Stimulants are currently under investigation and there's not enough information at this point from these trials to make a recommendation.
Herceptin/Femara cause fatigue?
- Question from Annie: I have stage IV breast cancer. My last go-round of chemotherapy was Taxol and carboplatin; I still having lots of trouble with fatigue. Could either Herceptin or Femara be contributing? My blood counts are good.
- Answers - Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. Congratulations on finishing your chemotherapy.
- Tish Knobf It's not unusual to be fatigued from the chemotherapy in the first year. And, of course, these additional treatments may be contributing, as you are continuing to have to go to get the treatments. It may take your body some time to adjust to the Femara (chemical name: letrozole) treatment. We recommend that you slowly begin to increase your physical activity.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. If you go to breastcancer.org discussion boards you'll find a sense of camaraderie with other posters that are feeling exactly as you are feeling. That isn't to imply that misery loves company but that this is "normal."
- Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. I think you'll also find people who have made the transition and be able to see that there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Does rest help reduce fatigue?
- Question from Getting Scared: Does rest help reduce fatigue?
- Answers - Tish Knobf Rest can be helpful for fatigue in conserving your energy for the activities that you want to do. But too much rest creates a vicious cycle where you become more fatigued. So this needs to be balanced by some physical activity in the day. In a radiation therapy study where women complained about fatigue, a good example of rest was taking a nap in the afternoon so they'd have more energy in the evening. Or women who worked said they retired to bed earlier to get a little more rest during the night.
Fatigue common with radiation therapy?
- Question from Chris: I will start radiation this Monday - I have completed chemotherapy - and I am really concerned about the fatigue factor. I am the bread winner and I cannot afford to be out of work. I need to be in control of something... even if it is controlling fatigue.
- Answers - Tish Knobf Most women who get whole breast radiation over 6 weeks have very mild symptoms. Fatigue is the most common, but generally doesn't start until about week 3 and then persists for a few weeks after radiation. However, women state that this is really a mild fatigue and for most women does not interfere with their ability to continue working.
Lose weight before chemo treatment?
- Question from Nimi: I may be going for chemotherapy in about 2 weeks. I am about 5-10 pounds overweight. Should I try to lose at least 5 pounds before the therapy?
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. No. Focus on a balanced diet, exercise, and maintain your weight during chemotherapy. Start a sensible weight loss diet after chemotherapy.
Help for depression with liver mets?
- Question from Nancy: I have suffered from clinical depression for years and for the last 2 years have been treated for breast cancer metastasized into the liver, so cannot take my effective depression meds. I can take Zoloft but it doesn't help much. All other depression meds go through the liver so I cannot take them. Do you know of any depression meds that are not processed through the liver?
- Answers - Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. No, all are processed through the liver.
Tish Knobf
There are some alternative strategies to medication for depression, including emotional support and physical activity – well-known to improve depressed moods.
Editor's Note: Zoloft is known to reduce the effectiveness of tamoxifen. If you are taking tamoxifen, talk to your doctor about alternative antidepressants. For more information, please visit the Breastcancer.org Tamoxifen page.
Relief for fatigued mother?
- Question from Swenwen: I am only 32 years old and can not keep up with my 16-month-old. I am active and eat a balanced diet. I received Cytoxan, Taxol, and Adriamycin. How long until this gets better?
- Answers - Tish Knobf Healthy women with 16-month-olds are also tired. However, recognize that fatigue is a known side effect of treatment.
- Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. Friends helped me by taking care of my 2-year-old when I was too fatigued to do it myself all day long.
Benefits of noni juice/green tea?
- Question from TerryO: Is there any real benefit to noni juice or green tea once you have been diagnosed with breast cancer or metastases?
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. There are at least 2 studies that I'm aware of from Japan that have correlated increased consumption of green tea with decreased occurrence of stage I and II of breast cancer. The amounts consumed in those studies were in the order of 2-5 cups (Japanese style, so little cups) of tea a day. Very reasonable, manageable amounts. These are not intervention studies, these are simply observation studies. But it does appear that there may be some benefit from green tea consumption for reducing the risk of breast cancer.
Can hot tea help fatigue?
- Question from J: Is decaffeinated hot tea ok?
- Answers - Diana Dyer, M.S., R.D. Caffeine can give an instant lift to perhaps alleviate fatigue, but it's not going to be long-lasting.
Tips to sleep through the night?
- Question from Lissa: I fall asleep well, then wake at 3 am and spend time thinking about everything I need to do. When I do fall back to sleep, I am exhausted when I again get up in the morning. Any tips to sleeping through the night?
- Answers - Tish Knobf Waking up and having trouble falling back asleep can be related to anxiety. It could be related to menopausal symptoms. It could be related to emotional distress. So there are recommendations for what's called good sleep hygiene. And that includes not taking naps late in the day, going to bed at the same time every night, and if you do wake up during the night don't stay in bed. Get up, read or do something for a while, and then try and go back to bed.
- Lillie Shockney, R.N., B.S., M.A.S. I find it helps if you make a list of the things that you are worrying about that you need to take care of. And by making a list you're committing yourself to address them during daytime, awake hours rather than having to dwell on them and trying to remember them in the middle of the night.
- Tish Knobf Learn some relaxation strategies such as learning meditation or relaxation for when you do have trouble going back to sleep.

Gonzo is a fantastic collection of personal stories about time and experiences with Hunter S. Thompson, curated and arranged from over 100 incredibly interesting people by Jann S. Wenner and Corey Seymour. I find it delightful to open and read a few stories whenever the book catches my eye.
George McGovern, Tim Ferris, Jack Nicholson, Norman Mailer, Jimmy Carter and dozens more share hilarious anecdotes that show how Hunter S. Thompson the person was exactly like the larger-than-life character, only more so. Many of Ralph Steadman's stories in this book are pure gold. I really love the excerpt below:
The second story we did was in September. Hunter called me and said, "Ralph, I don't know if you are interested, but I've been asked by Scanlon's to go to the America's Cup in Rhode Island. I'd like you to be there. Maybe you could do something to help pilot a three-masted sloop or something?" I felt I had to go. In a strange way I felt chosen, whatever that means --- maybe by accident. It was journalism of outrage. There was no market for journalism of outrage at that time.Gonzo, an Oral Biography by Jann S. Wenner and Corey Seymour
We got there, and Hunter found this captain who took us out to this huge boat, and he had an idea that he'd do a story by trying to get on-board both these racing boats, the Gretel and the Intrepid. He said, "We really could kick some ass! These people are horrible, with their filthy two-million-dollar yachts with gin lounges on the front of them, and everybody sitting there drinking their mint juleps and their gin and tonics and whatever else they have --- it's filthy, Ralph. It's an expression of decadence I'd like you to see."
For some peculiar reason I got seasick. I was in a terrible state standing up on the deck and trying to remain, well, not sick. He didn't demand that I take the psilocybin. He said, "Maybe it will make you feel better. Try one." That was all. And I tried one, and thats when the screaming red-eyed dogs started...

Dawn Hines State Farm Poor Service & Business Chicago Illinois
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Beware! Dawn Hines is very personable when you patronize her agency, but she will avoid speaking to the customer when it comes time to talk business, or get answers for constant rate increases, or changes in the policy. She uses her employees to screen her calls and has made it her business to never communicate with the customer when I call in to have that one-on-one experience. I have given my business to her agency for years with multiple vehicles & homeowners. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of communication, professionalism, and business ethic.
Whatever you do, pick another State Farm Agent. You don't need your agent pulling the disappearing act when it is time to get down to business. After dealing with her lack of communication, I was forced to switch to insurance. I sent in a request to cancel my policy on 7/2/2013 to ensure ample time to process my request and to ensure that my bank account would NOT be drafted for July's premium on 7/12/13. I was SO SO SO Wrong. Not only was my bank account drafted for hundreds of dollars, but when I called to find out why they still drafted my account, although I cancelled. I requested to speak with Dawn directly. I was given the run-a-round; Dawn avoided getting on the phone. The office promised to call me back to follow up on a couple of occasions regarding this issue. No follow up whatsoever from Dawn's office. I had no choice but to call corporate in Bloomingdale, IL. The corporate office advised me that Dawn Hines just sent my cancellation request over TODAY: 7/15/13. I sent the cancellation request on 7/2/13. Poor Poor Service! Not only is this a huge Inconvenience, and is messing with other checks coming through to my bank account, but now I have to wait for State Farm to cut a check and mail to me because Dawn Hines did not process my cancellation request. Loyal customers should Never Ever be treated this way. I am warning all consumers so that you won't have to deal with this Poor Service!

Murder shocks him out of his inertia. Hap's quest to find Daniel's killer leads him into a Miami rife with vice and violence - and into a sexually charged affair with crusading journalist Marguerite Rawlings. Haunted by her own family skeletons and a painfully unresolved relationship with her famous senator-mother, it is Marguerite who will toss Hap the lifeline he needs, and help him come to terms with his troubled existence. Intricately interwoven into this powerful.
Story of self-discovery and long-buried secrets - and poised in poetic counterpoint - is a wild and raucous search for sunken treasure. Here, a host of colorful characters scramble to score off a deepsea fortune buried beneath the Miami surf. The novel packs a mean, stinging wallop when these two plot lines converge and collide in a stunning, unforgettable climax. Hard Aground is a fiendishly clever invention of mythic - and murderous - proportions, as Hall ruthlessly.
Rips away the drop cloth of civilization to lay bare the foibles and follies, amorality and avarice, hilarity and heartbreaking nobility at the sniveling, snarling, savage heart of man.

B-Royals' Hernandez strong after layoff
Righty hurls five perfect frames in first appearance since 2010
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | June 21, 2012 7:36 PM ET
The 2010 12th-round Draft pick missed all of 2011 following Tommy John surgery and returned to the mound in a competitive setting for the first time since Aug. 27, 2010. He proceeded to throw five perfect innings while striking out five in Rookie-level Burlington's 4-3 loss to Pulaski.
The 23-year-old admitted there was some anxiousness at first in taking the rubber for the first time after such a long layoff.
"I had a year-and-a-half after Tommy John to come back. I was nervous, I had butterflies in my stomach, stuff like that," he said. "But I tried to be relaxed, do my best. [At the end] I was pumped."
Hernandez pitched just 12 1/3 innings in his 2010 debut before being sidelined by the injury. Thursday's appearance was just the second start of his career, and he came into it with a pitch count of 60. Despite that, he managed to go the five innings, equaling the amount of frames he lasted in his only other start on July 1, 2010.
Hernandez said it was difficult to spend that much time away from baseball and he had been itching to get back on the mound in a meaningful game while he spent time at the Royals' extended spring training.
"It was frustrating, seeing everybody else pitch, it was getting me upset," he noted. "But I was just trying to do my thing, trying to come back hard."
The Miami native added that once he got going Thursday, it was easy to settle back in to just pitching again.
"After the first inning it was all good," he said. "I was hitting my spots, everything went my way. My coaches were talking to me [before the game], telling me to relax, and I was able to do good. I was surprised they let me go that far."
In his 2010 debut, Hernandez registered a 2.19 ERA over eight appearances with the Royals, compiling a 2-0 record. He struck out 13 and walked three over 12 1/3 innings before the injury to his right elbow put him on the shelf.
The road back after that, he said, was a long one that he was happy to have behind him.
"They took me slow. I had to throw bullpen [sessions], live batting practice [sessions]. One inning, two innings, one inning, two innings," he said. "I just wanted to get back strong, and I did, thank God."

Kabul: Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah will reject the results of a UN-supervised audit of the election, his spokesman says, tipping the country deeper into crisis a week before the scheduled inauguration.
Fears grew of a violent backlash to the result after Dr Abdullah withdrew his observers from the audit on Wednesday, in the latest twist of a prolonged dispute over allegations of fraud in the June 14 election.
"We will be out of the [audit] process, and any kind of result from the process will not be acceptable for Dr Abdullah," his spokesman Muslim Saadat said.
The stand-off between Dr Abdullah, a former anti-Taliban resistance fighter, and Ashraf Ghani, a former World Bank economist, has threatened to revive ethnic unrest in Afghanistan as US-led NATO troops prepare to exit by the end of this year.
The United Nations moved rapidly to save Afghanistan's first democratic transfer of power by asking Dr Ghani to also remove his observers from the vote-checking process.
Dr Abdullah claims he was cheated of victory in the 2009 presidential election against incumbent President Hamid Karzai, and says history is repeating itself through ballot-rigging in favour of Dr Ghani, whose camp denies the charge.
Dr Abdullah won the first-round election in April from a field of eight candidates, but preliminary results from the June run-off showed he was far behind Dr Ghani.
UN deputy mission chief Nicholas Haysom described Dr Abdullah's withdrawal as "regrettable".
"We requested the team of Dr Ghani to review whether they should participate actively in the process," Mr Haysom said. "The audit must be seen to be even-handed by all Afghans ... Dr Ghani's team has agreed to withdraw."

Detroit –At least three suppliers to Mayor Dave Bing's auto supply businesses claim they were not paid thousands of dollars.
Ohio-based Wyoming Steel Supply Inc. filed a lawsuit in November for $123,835.73, claiming the Bing Group didn't pay for delivered steel. Two other businesses say they are owed as well: a Wixom machine company has sued for $1,931.85 and a Royal Oak steel company says it is owed $10,747.22.
" said Mark Berg, one of the "They just kind of went 'poof,' owners of Berg Steel of Royal Oak, who claims he wasn't paid for an October shipment of 26,000 pounds of steel to Bing Steel. "You'd think being the mayor, he would think differently."
"They knew this was coming."
Bing's staffers would not comment on the accusations, say whether the mayor has any financial stake remaining in his companies or explain if they still exist. His staffers in October said the mayor put his stake in the Bing Group in a blind trust that removed him from company operations but allowed ownership to revert to him after he leaves office.
Since then, a subsidiary, Bing Metals Group, was sold to L&W Engineering Co. in November. In February, Bing Steel, a 151,000-square-foot facility on Euclid in Detroit, and its equipment were up for sale, according to a report in the American Metal Market.
But it's still unclear if the entire Bing Group business has been sold, and Bing's staffers would not clarify the situation.
Bing Group attorney Max Newman declined comment on Tuesday and efforts to reach its president and CEO , Kirk Lewis, were unsuccessful.
Bing, the former professional basketball star whose company reported in 2009 a payroll of 600 employees and annual sales of $400 million, ran for mayor largely on his success as a businessman.
But, like other auto suppliers, the company was hit hard by the downturn of the auto industry. In a series of memos to General Motors Corp . in June, Lewis acknowledged the company was living paycheck to paycheck and courting two potential buyers.
Berg said he has made repeated calls and sent e-mails to Bing company officials but hasn't gotten any response and could soon file his own lawsuit.
"It's a mystery," Berg said.
Alfredo Cassab, an attorney for Wyoming Steel, declined comment Tuesday on the lawsuit, which names Bing Group entities BVR Technologies and Bing Metals Group. Josh Moss, a lawyer for Oakland Stamping, the stamping facility now owned by L&W Engineering Co., also declined comment.
Michigan Tractor and Machinery, in Wixom, filed a lawsuit in January against Bing Metals Group in 36th District Court claiming it is owed $1,931.85 from an open account the company had as of November.

Raquel Small '10
alumni profile
Raquel Small '10 was initially drawn to Boston College for the same reason so many are – a beautiful campus, sense of community, and strong liberal arts program. The Communication Department, she says, is highly respected and offers a wide breadth of courses. Her initial interest in public relations evolved as she took courses in areas such as Violence and Media, Cyberlaw, and Gender Roles in Communication. Raquel made the most of her time at BC, double majoring in Communication and English and completing a summer internship. She advises current students to "…take every class that you're interested in." While not initially apparent, she realizes the inter-connectedness of her courses and appreciates having a broad understanding of media and societal trends.
Currently Raquel is employed with Google, Inc. as a legal assistant for the Online Products Support team. She credits her professors with sparking an interest in communication and the Internet, as well as helping her to hone her writing skills, think critically, and analyze information. "I apply the things I learned in school almost every day," she says.

The influence of local governance on agricultural advisory services in Tajikistan
The present article investigates the influence of local governance on agricultural advisory services in Tajikistan. The Central Asian Republic of Tajikistan is an agricultural country that has been described as a hybrid state, where local governance tends to be dominated by a few powerful actors. Local governance processes do have a strong influence on the agriculture practise and on the exchange of the knowledge. Agricultural advisory services claim various effects in the country. Especially in regions that are dominated by monocultures, advisory services have limited success. Therefore the present article assumes that the nexus of knowledge and innovation in Tajik agriculture is largely dependent on the decision-making of local governance processes. The article outlines the important role of local governance for distribution and use of knowledge in rural areas and emphasizes the context of agricultural advisory services in Tajikistan.

Danone SA (DANOY) bought YoCrunch, which makes yogurt topped with various ingredients, for an undisclosed amount on Friday.
The purchase of YoCrunch is part of Danone's efforts to expand its business in the United States. Yo Crunch is a good buy for Danone. The company already has licenses to include toppings from several snack companies, including Nestle (NSRGY), Mars, Hershey (HSY) and Kraft Foods' (KRFT) Nabisco. YoCrunch had $110 million in sales during 2012, reports the Associated Press.
Danone currently controls 30% of the U.S. yogurt market, and is looking to increase its business to meet the growing demand for yogurt in the U.S. Yogurt sales in the U.S. have grown by 8.5% over the last five years, and are expected to grow 5.9% in the next five years, reports Reuters.
Danone recently signed a deal with Starbucks (SBUX) that will bring greek yogurts to the coffeehouse.

Lazy Gallery doesn't have valid XHTML
I've tried searching for a similar topic in these forums, but I can't seem to find anything, so here goes:
I'm using the Lazy Gallery plugin by lazyboy.dk, and I noticed that the pages generated by this plugin generate a lot of errors in the XHTML checker.
I was able to fix some of these errors myself, such as the missing closing tags for br and img properties. However, I also get the folllowing PHP-related errors:
Line 91 column 479: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "thumb".
Line 91 column 479: general entity "thumb" not defined and no default entity.
Line 91 column 484: reference not terminated by REFC delimiter.
Line 91 column 484: reference to external entity in attribute value.
Unfortunately, my PHP-skills are virtually non-existant and I have no idea what these errors mean or what I'm supposed to do about them.
Does anyone else use this plugin and know how I can fix these errors?

On Wednesday, ThinkProgress exclusively reported that Senator-Designate Tim Scott (R-SC) used acontroversial method of securing federal contracts and grants for his district known as "lettermarking," despite his supposed opposition to earmarks. A ThinkProgress review of newly obtained documents reveals that Scott also used the process to request stimulus funds for a pet South Carolina project — despite his public opposition to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and federal stimulus in general.
During his first campaign, he said that the 2009 stimulus had "failed Americans."
Shortly after becoming a Congressman in 2011, he endorsed "elimination of any unobligated 'stimulus' funding." And in a September 2012 statement, Scott said, "It is clear that the current path is unsustainable – stimulus spending doesn't work and will not work."
But, while he publicly attacked the stimulus, he wrote a May 2012 letter to Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood requesting almost $22 million in stimulus funding for renovation of railroad tracks in North and South Carolina...

Judge throws out Ferrer plea deal
EUREKA- In a packed court room, a Humboldt County Judge threw out the plea deal for the three suspects in the fatal stabbing of a 50-year-old Arcata man. The judge dismissed all three deals that the suspects and the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office had previously agreed on.
Judge Joyce Hinrichs said she had arrived at the decision after public interest and criticism over the plea. She said she was dismissing the deal to "restore faith in the judicial process" and to restore the publics faith with the process.
Hinrichs said accepting the plea would be a "hard blow to the judicial system."
In court, Hinrich's said she had accepted the plea, but after receiving letter's from the victim's families, said she changer her mind.
The victim's family members were in court. Candidate for Humboldt County District Attorney Arnie Klein said he was there to represent the family. Klein had criticized the plea negotiated by Deputy District Attorney Elan Firpo, who is also running for District Attorney, but has since been removed from the case by her own request.
After court, Anderson-Jordet's sister Patty Henderson, who had traveled from Minnesota, said the family was happy about the courts decision.
Ferrer will appear in court again on May 28th for the Preliminary Hearing.

RiverDogs Announce Food & Beverage Menu
April 12, 2011 11:29 AM ET
CHARLESTON, SC - As literally thousands of fans can attest, the Charleston RiverDogs baseball experience is much more than just the action on the field.
Part of the overall fan experience is the multiple concession opportunities, which have drawn Food Network star Rachel Ray and Travel Channel luminary Adam Richman to Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park to sample the variety of delicacies. Whether it's at the Doghouse, Dogworld, the Pie House or the newly-christened Nacho House and Joe's Bar and Grille, fans can always find something to satisfy their every craving.
And this year, another unique item has been added to the fan-favorite hot dog menu: the Pig-on-a-Stick. This creation - a foot-long, bacon-wrapped corn dog - is the culmination of meticulous work in the RiverDogs' top-secret test kitchen and thorough scouring of multiple state fairs and circuses for new ideas.
John Schumacher, the food guru for the RiverDogs' ownership ensemble, The Goldklang Group, credits the club's crack concessionaires and said the new Pig-on-a-Stick is "sure to satisfy your daily swine urge."
And there's plenty more:
The Nacho House, which was formerly the Smokehouse, now features four new items:
· Chipotle Chicken Nachos: The Chipotle Chicken Nacho consists of Chicken Tinga, our own special Southwest Bean Mix, queso cheese, pico de gallo and sweet chili sauce;
· Vegetarian Nachos: This healthy nacho option consists of our Southwest bean mix, queso cheese sauce, pico de gallo and sweet chili sauce;
· All-American Nachos: This All-American classic consists of spicy Southwestern beef, yellow nacho cheese, salsa and jalapenos;
· The Kitchen Sink Nacho: The name says it all for this signature item. We throw everything we possibly can onto the aptly named Kitchen Sink Nacho which consists of pulled pork, chicken tinga, Southwestern beef, two types of cheeses, Southwest bean mix, BBQ and sweet chili sauce and pico de gallo. This mountain of a meal feeds two, in case you think you can wolf it down on your own!
Joe's Bar and Grille, which was most recently called the Vendor Village, now features:
· The Homewrecker Hot Dog: This ballpark classic makes its debut in a new area in 2011 (although the Homewrecker is also still available in Dogworld);
· The Monster Burger: When a regular sized hamburger simply won't cut it;
· The Monster Pimento Pickle Burger: The RiverDogs' new signature hamburger
is a "monsterpiece" that is served with a slathering of pimento cheese and topped off with fried pickle chips;
· Fat Tire Draft Cart: One can now enjoy the great taste of Fat Tire beer on draft at our new Fat Tire Draft Cart;
· The Pickle Dog: Returning for its second season, the world-famous Pickle Dog will again be offered as a featured item Joe's Bar and Grille (also featured at Dogworld);
· Philly Cheese Steak/Brat Cart: Enjoy these two tasty classics at our new portable stand and they're served with cheese, onions and peppers. However, if you can't decide between a bratwurst and a Philly Cheese Steak, why not have both? The Brat Cheese Steak offers the best of both worlds. A juicy brat topped with Philly meat, cheese, onions and peppers will most certainly cure your hunger pains.
A new Funnel Cake cart will showcase:
· Fried Ice Cream: Want some "hot" ice cream? Try our new fried ice cream option at our funnel cake cart;
· The Home Run: Can't decide between a funnel cake and fried ice cream? Why not have both? The Home Run consists of a fresh funnel cake topped with fried ice cream.
The Doghouse returns in its entirety and features:
· Pig-on-a-Stick: A bacon-wrapped corndog is a foot long and is wrapped in Texas bacon and fried to perfection;
· Sweet Potato Fries: Another new item that is worthy of a try.
While the selections on the Riley Park concourse are more than appealing to even the most refined ballpark palettes, the level of satisfaction reaches new heights at The Joe - both literally and figuratively - high atop the field in the luxurious Sky Suites. Enjoy the game from an air-conditioned atmosphere while sampling the elite in ballpark delights:
· Signature Hot Dog Platter: Enjoy 24 of The Joe's signature hot dogs. Mix and match among the RiverDog, Bulldog, Dixie Dog and Yankee Dog;
· Sushi Platter: This platter comes with 36 pieces of sushi and one may choose from California Roll Sushi or Crab Sushi (or mix them up);
· Rib Platter: Enjoy a platter of savory ribs slathered in our signature BBQ sauce;
· Combo Platters: Mix and match your all-time favorite platters from:
o Half Hot Dog- Half Chicken Tender Platter;
o Half Hot Dog- Half Hamburger Platter;
o Half Chicken Wings- Half Chicken Tenders Platter;
· Gourmet Cupcakes: Indulge in the Sweet Street gourmet cupcakes we are offering this year.
Opening day is set for this Friday, April 15, when the Rome Braves visit Riley Park for the beginning of a four-game series. This game is one of several on the RiverDogs' annual calendar that sells out, so fans are encouraged to get their tickets early. In order to do so, please contact the Box Office at (843) 577-DOGS (3647) or order them online at www.riverdogs.com.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
What compliment do you give a Christian Arab family who emigrated from Israel in 1969 and turned a dumpy little Lebanese market on Seventeeth Street off South Dixie Highway into something akin to a Persian empire, a market-bakery-restaurant where the fare was in as much demand as the hard-to-find Middle-Eastern spices? Easy: You've got balls. Falafel balls, to be exact, in addition to kibbeh (ground meat and cracked wheat) and kafta kebab (ground lamb). Granted the Mazzawi family does extremely well with its baking operation, fully automated factories that supply restaurants, cruise ship lines, and national bakery labels with pita bread. But it's the falafel -- ground, spiced chick peas hand-molded and deep-fried, stuffed into the signature pocket bread, and garnished with red onions and shredded cabbage salad -- that made the Daily Bread's reputation, enabling the market to move this past year into its current expansive digs. Fortunately, while the improved store has been drawing novice falafel-eaters, the new packaging (and newfound popularity) hasn't changed that old great taste.
Let's face it, a bowl of black bean soup can be a bounty of blasé. But the chefs at these little Mexican diners add a magical elixir to their pot: a splash of beer, Dos Equis Special Lager, to be precise. That's why they call it drunken bean soup. You won't get a beer buzz, but the effect is definitely euphoric. A dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese (which you can ask them to hold) round out the unexpectedly flavorful recipe. Please, señor, some more. ¡Ándale!
It's Tuesday afternoon and you're craving chicken feet again. You had the little morsels just two days ago, but that didn't do the trick. At the same meal you scarfed turnip cakes, steamed shrimp dumplings, sticky rice wrapped in a lotus leaf, baked roast pork buns, spare ribs with black bean sauce, rice noodles har mon, and for dessert, steamed buns filled with lotus seed paste. Still it wasn't enough. The succulent feet remain on your brain. If you had your way, you would eat dim sum at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, seven days a week. Lucky for you, at Kon Chau you can. Open from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 10:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday, the restaurant offers about 50 dim sum items at any time of the day, unlike other restaurants that leave you hankering for the stuff until the weekend comes. Nothing fancy here: No steam cart being rolled around by a snooty driver who refuses to reveal what exactly is on your little plate. Kon Chau offers all dim sum prepared to order. Exceptional edibles and efficient, courteous service are just two good reasons to dine here. The third: incredibly cheap prices. Two people can eat until they burst for less than 20 bucks. Now that's a lot of chicken feet.
Contrary to popular belief, the Italians didn't invent pizza. The Greeks did, who in turn got the idea from the enterprising Etruscans, who used focaccia as plates. But the Italians certainly improved the dish. In Naples they added tomato sauce, and in the late Nineteenth Century the classic Margherita (four-cheese pizza) was invented and named for the then-queen of Italy. Elsewhere in the country, pizzaiolos, or pizza makers, vied with each other to create the most original toppings, using whatever local ingredients they could lay their flour-covered hands on, including cured meats like prosciutto and soppressata and homegrown vegetables such as olives and eggplant. You can see the fruits of this ancient labor at Spris, which offers delicate, thin-crust pizzas, similar to the ones found in Naples, for contemporary consumption. Owned by the folks who run Tiramesu, only a few doors away, Spris satisfies the pizzaiolo in all of us by offering more than 30 choices, including the tonnata (with tuna, onion, and basil), the gamberetti (with shrimp and arugula), and of course, the Margherita.
It's probably no surprise that this dynamic but industrial-looking place is noisy: Most of the mod décor is metallic. Talk about reverb. Not only that, China Grill Management owns this Asian noodle shop, and this particular restaurant group seems to excel in creating high-end eateries that are sweet to the taste but hard on the eardrum. Sitting outside at the café tables probably won't help much, given that Lincoln Road is overwhelmed with crying babies and whining tourists these days. Still you might as well get used to it if you want to slurp up some yummy duck-topped egg noodles or vibrant curry-infused rice noodles (all reasonably priced). There's no use complaining: No one will be able to hear you.
"Wait, let me get you a warm one," the counter clerk says as he hovers a hand above the trays of doughy bagels. In no time his heat-seeking fingers land on a poppy-seed bagel that's as piping hot as it is flush with flavor. At Bagels & Co. freshness is never in question. Beyond fresh, the bagels are unusually dense and chewy, with a nice flavor. There are more than a dozen varieties available, all of which, we've found after extensive research, are extremely satisfying. The bialys (a kind of puffy, holeless bagel with onions on top) are the best we've ever seen. And did we mention how fresh everything is? And warm? And chewy?

text: Professor Jardine's latest book is a broad survey of a remarkable period in history, the so-called Scientific Revolution. The premise of Jardine's narrative is that we currently live on one side or the other of a gulf in understanding between the sciences and the arts - the so-called "Two Cultures" defined by C P Snow - and her aim is to show, by illustrating the roots of modern science, that this cultural divide is a modern construct. Jardine therefore focuses her attention on the overlap and interchange of science, mathematics and the arts throughout the intellectual ferment of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Customer Rating 1 5
I was in the market for a new blender after my 350w blender died. I didn't want to buy another cheap blender that would die fairly soon, but didn't want to pay $400 for a Vitamix or Blendtec blender.
The Bar Maid BLE-110 fit the bill nicely. It's a commercial blender, and so it comes with a powerful motor that blends everything I've tried so far to a perfectly smooth consistency in short time. Exhaust vents shoot hot air out the sides to protect the motor from damaging heat buildup. I blend about 2-3 times a day and this unit is overkill for my needs. I'm very happy with this purchase.Posted on 7/15/2013 by Ali Wrench

Brevard, N.C. - Weather has forced several Brevard teams to cancel plans for this weekend. Softball, Men's and Women's Tennis and Baseball have all been forced to cancel games and matches for Saturday
