Time to Harvest Apple
The recent action in Apple (AAPL) is a very good illustration of something I wrote about in my book, Invest Like a Shark. All stocks have just a limited amount of time in which they enjoy hyper growth. The run might last a decade or just weeks but, eventually, the leading stocks will became mundane performers that produce just average returns at best.
It isn't hard to find good examples. For instance, Microsoft (MSFT) ran from 1987 to 1999. Coca-Cola (KO) had its huge move 1984 to 1998. Since then, neither stock has ever been able to recover the highs they hit many years ago....179 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Posted October 10, 2000, 4:45 p.m. e.s.t.
It pays to be famous -- even when it comes to selling cigars.
Christie's October 5 auction in London drew record prices, including one lot of cigars that sold for more than $1,600 apiece. The more than 400 boxes of cigars drew more than $833,000 in bids.
One of the highlights of last Thursday's auction was the sale of 43 boxes of smokes from Lady Mary Soames, the daughter of British hero Sir Winston Churchill. Bidders paid just over $219,000 for the cigars, from corona-sized, four-decades-old Don Candido Dunhill Seleccion Suprema No. 50s ($2,940 for a cabinet of 50) to robusto-shaped Dunhill Cabinettas ($9,075 for a cabinet of 25) made in 1980.
"It was a combination of the quality of the cigars and their provenance," said Brian Ebbesen, who heads cigar sales for the London-based auction house. "The cigars were in superb condition."
What was most obvious about the four-hour sale in one of Christie's King Street auction rooms was that the people attending the auction had very little to do with the majority of the buying. Most of the bids came from the five or six employees manning telephones during the sale as well as a big, husky man bidding while seated in the front of the room. He was buying "for his boss," as he put it.
I asked the man, who looked like a bodyguard, who his boss was, and he didn't give me an answer. I wasn't about to push the issue. I did overhear him say that his boss lived in Hong Kong and gave him explicit orders to buy, buy and buy. Nonetheless, he didn't acquire all the boxes in the sale. In fact, a good number went to an anonymous American on the telephone as well as a couple of other high rollers from Hong Kong.
The American set a new world record price for cigars paying $4,950 for a paper box of pre-embargo Partagas Lusitanias with pointed ends. The cigars came with individual cedar tubes but $1,650 a cigar sounds rather high to me, even if money is no object. Nonetheless, they were probably the most beautiful individual cigars offered in the sale. When I looked at nearly all the lots a few days before the sale, my mouth dropped open in awe when I took one of these rare Lucies out of their cedar tubes. It was hard not to light it on the spot.
The same shaped-cigars in a partial cabinet of 50 (only 25 were left) cigars from the late 1960s sold for $16,500 a few lots farther into the sale. A better buy, but not a giveaway at $660 a stick. Shaped Lusitanias (50 in all) made in 1995 were included in a humidor to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Partagas. Selling for $14,850, this lot also included 50 robustos and 50 coronas. A decent buy, since the limited-edition humidor (only 150 were made) usually sells for 20 or 30 percent more at auction. Shaped Lusitanias are supposedly to be part of a limited-edition humidor to celebrate the 155th anniversary of Partagas, which should be available in November in Havana (Click here for details). If Cubans make any more of these "limited-edition humidors," they won't be very special anymore, but that's another column.
What was truly special, and sold for a lot of money, were Cuban Davidoffs. Of course, Davidoff cigars have not been made in Havana since the early 1990s, so they are becoming rarer and rarer all the time -- and a hell of a lot more expensive. The giant sized 80th Anniversarios went for crazy prices. A box of 20 sold for $17,325, more than $866 per stick. The other four boxes, two containing 10 cigars, one with five cigars and one with six, didn't sell for much less. Dom Perignons and Chateau Latours also went for megabucks, averaging about $400 and $125 per stick, respectively.
Davidoff Chateau d'Yquem, extremely rare and made only for a few years in the early 1980s (the size was replaced by Mouton Rothschild), went for a bomb -- 25 cigars for $10,725.
Cuban Dunhills, another brand lost in the turmoil of the early 1990s, went for high prices. The Robusto Cabinettas reached a new high -- $9,075 for a cabinet of 25.
"Dunhills were as strong as ever, especially with the Cabinettas," said Ebbesen. "In over a year, they have gone from £3,000 to £5,500, not including the 10 percent buyer's premium."
Not all the cigars in the auction, however, were terribly rare. Thirty to 40 percent were simply good-quality cigars with six to 15 years of box age. They ranged from double coronas to robustos to petit coronas, and covered all the brands from Montecristo to Partagas. They sold for about two or three times U.K. retail price for newly released Cuban cigars. "For normal cigars in the sale, people seem the most interested in large-sized, big-gauge ones," Ebbesen said.
Not everything sold, however, a number of pre-embargo cigars from the 1950s didn't find bidders, and there was little interest for current-production cigars, those with a year or two of box age. Christie's is no longer going to sell such young cigars.
Even a box of 50 Diplomatic Trinidad cigars didn't go, and it had the signature of Cuban President Fidel Castro, which came from a 1994 dinner hosted by Cigar Aficionado. The asking price was between $16,800 and $21,000 -- no takers.
It came as somewhat of a relief that these cigars didn't go for crazy prices. I guess not everyone famous can fetch high prices for rare cigars -- even Fidel Castro.

A topological twist on materials science
|Author: Sanju Gupta and Avadh Saxena
Date: Monday, March 17th, 2014
Dr. S. Gupta, Associate Professor from the Physics and Astronomy Department,
published an Invited Featured Article in a world reputed and high impact factor journal namely, Materials Research Society (MRS) Bulletin, March Issue, Vol. 39 (2014) (http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=9202063&utm_source=Issue_Alert&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=MRS) in an important area of Materials Research entitled "Topological twist on materials science", co-authored with a collaborator from Los Alamos National laboratory, Condensed-Matter Theoretical Division. One of the significances of this work lies in an emerging paradigm of
topology/geometry → property → functionality that goes beyond the traditional
microscopic structure → property → functionality relationship.
For a brief abstract, page one is attached. The website is for accessing the full article.
The primary objective of this article is twofold: to address the key concept of topology that
impacts materials science in a major way and to convey the excitement to the materials
community of recent signifi cant advances in our understanding of the important topological
notions in a wide class of materials with potential technological applications. A paradigm of
topology/geometry → property → functionality is emerging that goes beyond the traditional
microscopic structure → property → functionality relationship. The new approach delineates
the active roles of topology and geometry in design, fabrication, characterization, and
predictive modeling of novel materials properties and multifunctionalities. After introducing
the essentials of topology and geometry, we elucidate these concepts through a gamut of
nanocarbon allotropes of de novo carbons, hierarchical self-assembled soft- and biomaterials,
supramolecular assemblies, and nanoporous materials. Applications of these topological
materials range from sensing, energy storage/conversion, and catalysis to nanomedicine.
The first speaker in the Far Away Places series is Ricardo Marin Ruiz, presenting "Cycling in Spain" Thursday, September 21 at Barnes and Noble Booksellers.
"Finding Your Way Around the Autumn Sky" will be presented Sept. 19-Oct. 22 at WKU's Hardin Planetarium.
WKU senior Geographic Information Science (GIScience) major Terry Bearb of Lafayette, Louisiana was awarded a $1000 scholarship by the Kentucky Association of Mapping Professionals (KAMP).

MIAMI - A man accused of fatally stabbing a woman and her son appeared in bond court.
Joseph Swift wore protective clothing, which indicates suicide watch, during his appearance Wednesday.
Swift, 29, is accused of stabbing Jeneth Jones, 58, and her son Wade, 23, to death Sunday. Police say he also stabbed 30-year-old Natasha Jones, his ex-girlfriend, and her 25-year-old sister Taree.
"Natasha has some questions about what was the outcome, but she's still in a kind of delicate state, so I didn't want to mention that to her," said Wade Jones, Jeneth Jones' husband and the father of the other three victims.
Jones said he's waited since Sunday for police to arrest Swift, who was named a suspect Monday.
"I feel much better. In fact, it's about the first time I can breath easy on it," he said.
According to court documents, police arrested Swift at an apartment near the crime scene.
While investigators were questioning him at police headquarters Tuesday, police say Swift tried jumping out of a second-story window, but the glass didn't break.
Police say Swift then attacked three officers in an unsuccessful attempt to get away.
Police records shows Swift also had a self-inflicted knife wound to his wrist.
Swift's attorney said his client has mental issues. The judge ordered he be held on no bond.
Swift is charged with first-degree murder with a deadly weapon, attempted first-degree murder with a deadly weapon, escape, and resisting an officer with violence.
"I never want to see him on the street again," said Jones.

Reviews forShredded Beef au Jus
My Review
Average Rating
"I've been making this for my husband for a while. He loves it. I do add more garlic and use beef broth instead of water. It's one of his very favorites! It also helps if you use a good cut of meat with minimal fat."
"YUMMY!!! I would give this more than 5 stars if allowed. This is SO delicious and the au jus is wonderful! I did use garlic powder andfresh rosemary. I did not think it was salty at all My husband said this is one of the best roast beef sandwiches he ever had. This recipe is a definite keeper!"
"Delicious and easy."
"Very good... I eliminated the salts and used garlic power and onion powder instead. I also added some sliced onions half way thru the cooking time."
"When I first started cooking I thought "oh no, it's so watery, doesn't look good". A few hours later the house was filled with an amazing aroma and the shredded meat was soooo good! I love how this takes literally 5 minutes to make and is absolutely delicious!"
"I made Chicago-Style beef Sandwiches last weekend and then this one to compare the two. The flavors were very similar but this one took less prep time. I will use both recipes but this one is definitely better if you're in a hurry because the meat does not get browned first and no veggies to chop. Very tasty!"
"I came across this recipe out of a need to not have to buy a packet of seasoning knowing it must not be to complicated to make my own "french dip" sandwiches. I am pleased with the flavor of this and will definately call it my new standard. I also added sliced onions and used garlic powder and a little salt since i was out of garlic salt. Thanks for publishing this one!!"
"i liked the flavoring in this dish, plus the ease of making. used sandwich rolls instead to make nice french dips."
"It wasn't good or bad. I have better recipes for similar dish."

Climb Safe: Knot Passing 101
Rappelling past a knot that links two ropes end-to-end, need not puzzle you, nor must you learn this seemingly complicated yet vital bit of ropework the hard way. The following five-step method for passing a knot is easy to master, safe and efficient. It does assume that you have two ascenders and are using one on the rope above your rappel device, as a back-up, held with the cam thumbed open by your "guide" hand. (For more on rappel back-ups, see Rock and Ice No. 136.) Though prusiks can substitute for ascenders, they are much harder to operate.
Since you are most likely to pass knots in a big-wall situation, where ascenders are necessary and standard gear, we've used ascenders to demonstrate the five steps. Regardless of whether you use ascenders or prusiks, connect them to your harness by girth-hitching a sling or daisy chain through your belay/rappel loop before you begin the rappel. Clip the sling or daisy to each ascender or prusik with a locking carabiner, or two standard biners with their gates opposed and reversed.

Other Names:
Detailed Description:
Introduction: Among the 4 sulphur-containing amino acids (SAA), only Met and Cys are incorporated into proteins, but Hcy and Tau are related to oxidative stress and glutathione (GSH), the major intracellular hydro-soluble anti-oxidant agent. HIV+ patients present low levels of antioxidant nutrients, including GSH and its precursors.
Objective: To investigate the responses of the SAA pathway to dietary supplements of Gln and Cys together with Met-overloading in HIV+ patients comparatively to healthy controls.
Methods: Twelve HIV+ (6 males and 6 females, 25-36 yrs old) patients under HAART (one HIV protease inhibitor in combination with two nucleoside analogs) for at least one year and 20 (10M and 10F, 23-28 yrs old) healthy controls were randomly assigned to 7-day diets containing either NAC (N-acetylcysteine, 1g/d) or Gln (20g/d), with a 7-day washout period with their usual diet (UD). Blood samples were drawn after overnight fast before and after (2h and 4h) ingesting the Met (100 mg/kg) overload (Met-OL) with determination of the area under the curve (AUC). HPLC plasma analysis of SAA (Met, Hcy, Cys and Tau), GSH and GSSG and Ser, Gly, Glu and Gln was carried out at moments before (MO) and after 7-day diets (M1). Additionally, at baseline, both groups were assessed for anthropometry (BMI, kg/m2; body fat %) and plasma biochemistry (creatinine, urea, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, uric acid, albumin, folic acid and vitamin B12).The HIV+ group (G2) was also characterized by the viral load, CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes counts. Statistical comparisons were undertaken among diets between groups with p = 0.05.

Nowitzki just took over vs Chicago.
They are up 100-98 now.
I'd rather face Atlanta or Boston first round, hopefully Chicago keeps the 5th seed.
The race to the 8th seed in the West is really coming down to the wire. It would make me SO happy to see the Lakers miss the playoffs.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
easy.....hibbert will breathe on cp3 and cp3 will flop and get the benefit of the doubt since he's a superstar.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Steph Curry isnt human he is in video game mode right now.
Love what I am seeing from Myers Leonard he still has a long way to go still. He is finally showing flashes of his skill. He flashed his skill at Illinois but just like this year it isn't always there. I still love him as a spect he just needs to keep working perfect skill set for the NBA. I just loved his passing and flashes of great high post play in college. I hope he keeps improving the Blazers need it really bad. They are tanking though so these games should be taken with some salt.

I thought Meyers was the best big after Davis and Drummond, sorry Miles, and if the Pacers were going to stay in the draft that KP would work his magic to trade up and get Meyers. I'd trade the 013 pick and sweetner to get him. I doubt Portland would be interested in trading Meyers though.
Wooah I liked him but I wouldnt have traded up for him. I had him rated the same spot I had a higher grade on him than Cody Zeller as well. I dont think he was worth trading up for Lillard was the only guy in the draft I would of traded up for.
Why would Portland consider Meyers untouchable? He is a nice rookie and all, but you wouldn't move him under any circumstances?
I NEVER said Meyers Leonard was untouchable, YOU DID. Just keep in mind, they drafted Meyers while knowing they were going to go after Hibbert in FA. They had to like what they saw of Meyers to draft him at #11. With an undersized JJ Hickson playing the 5 and having a year vested in Meyers, why would they be interested in trading him?
They might trade him if a great deal came along or they pick up a good 5 in FA or trade for one this off season, but I'd be surprised if they trade him. It's like Bird trading Plumlee, or trading Tyler a year after drafting them. It didn't happen with Tyler, and it wouldn't happen with Plumlee.
So you'd rather have not traded up for Leonard, instead have the infamous Miles Plumlee. I don't know what to really say other than wow!
The only reason Tyler Zeller is getting the PT he's gotten this year is the Cavs had no one else to play the 5 after Varejao went out with an injury. Miles Plumlee would have to have Hibbert, DWest, Mahinmi, and Pendergraph out before he'd have a chance at getting the PT that Zeller has gotten. LOL!
Oh well, next year will be Miles' year to show us all exactly why Bird drafted him!
You are talking about "trading up" like it is the easiest thing to do. What asset would you give up that would entice Portland to do this?
so you think Neil Olshey would keep his job if he traded the #11 pick for the #26 pick Some things never amaze me on PD.
Trading up to #11 would cost way more than #26 alone like you make it sound, so your "you would rather have Plumlee wow!!" isn't valid pretty major hyperbole. Of course if the choice was Plumlee or Leonard I would take Leonard 110 times out of 100 but that wasn't the choice.
If I was running the draft I would of traded back from #26 if I got a decent offer.
GS and the Kings were the only teams who realistically would of traded their pick last year and it would of been Granger ++. I don't think we even had the assets to trade up to #7 last year if we wanted too. Maybe we could of pulled a fast one on the Maloofs and traded to #5 to get Lillard only because we could of took on all their crap contracts and the state the Maloofs were in they probably would of accepted that trade.
would of been Salmons,Garica #5 for #26 two future #1 picks and another piece. I dont think Granger's contract would of intersted them because they wanted to cut costs.
Dirk looks just plain silly with that beard.
So James, Wade and Chalmers arent playing today. There should be a fine coming then.
From http://tbt.blogs.nba.com/2013/03/31/...purs-7-p-m-et/
When asked if he understood the Heat's caution with its star players, Popovich feigned surprise: "What do you mean? What kind of (bleep) is that? You kiddin?' What a bunch of rummies. They're doing that? Who would think of something like that? That's below the belt. There's no place for that kind of stuff. It is what it is. The motivation for it, you guys figure it out. It would be a great article."
That was the Spurs' mistake. They should have just made up injuries to Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker, and kept them in Miami. And they should have played Green.
Wow sounds like a home game for the Heat in San Antonio crazy
On a side note, how good has Tim Duncan been lately? Being in SoCal I'm surrounded by people who think Blake Griffin (or, worse, Kevin Love) is the best PF in the NBA. I like to laugh at them.
And what about Splitter? He's become a very good NBA center.

Bean...you are already helping. Knowledge is power and knowledge you can gain easily gain by using the search function and by entering key words. Everything pertaining to this disease (and more) has been discussed on this board and we try to stay updated with all new developments. Use the links available too. One person coming to mind regarding nutritional supplements is Marylloyd as she has posted recently regarding some of the products she has been using but, there also many other members who have shared with us. And, keep putting out the questions as you have been doing. Please, keep in mind though that the board becomes less active during this time of year so please, don't be discouraged if the answers come in slowly.
Best of my wishes,
The yoga and meditation is good for your brother and for you too.It can relieve stress and that helps feelings of wellbeing and strengthens the immune system. Janet
Hi Bean. My daughter's boyfriend was DX 3 years ago with Lymphoma (he is 48). Beside the chemo treatment he went naturalpathic. He goes to a doctor here in Phoenix for Vitamin C intravenously and he swears by it. He has met people with all kinds of cancer who have had years of being cancer free. Now that is not to say it is for everyone but doctors are beginning to think more about it as a side treatment. Most insurance companies will not pay. He has never feel better in his life. Along with the treatments he has gone Organic with food and products, the best he can. He builds pools and has not missed a day of work since this started. There is a clinic that was started here by an Oncologist (I will have to see if I can find the name) and although it is very pricey there you can read about it then find another natur. doc to do the deed. I will see if I can find it for you.
Hi Bean,
My dad used to get reiki massages. This was something that he would never have thought of trying but it was recommended to him by his Macmillan nurse as he was having real problems sleeping and they thought it might help him.
Anyway, the first time they tried it on dad, he was asleep and snoring his head off after about 10 minutes. Then when he started going to day care, he would get a reiki massage every time and he said it was great for helping him relax and chill out a bit. He would also get feet massage at day care and he said that was great as well.
He also tried Lavender oil, a few drops of it on his pillow at night and relaxation CD's, again to help him relax a bit. I remember one time going round to see him and he was lying on the floor sleeping with one of the relaxation CD's playing, so I guess that helped him a bit!
Best wishes to you and your brother.
I have written a few times on this board asking about Haelan.. it's a fermented soy and whether it is true or not there was a texan man name Sherman Sanders who claimed this cured him of CC> If you search under haelen all the info should come up. I do know that I read that SOY ESSENCE is very similar and very inexpensive compared to Haelan.
Merry Christmas to everyone..

After serving in Congress for nearly 20 years, Philadelphian Chaka Fattah traveled to Israel this week and spoke at a brain research conference.
After serving in Congress for nearly 20 years, U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah of Philadelphia made his first visit to Israel this week.
The Democrat spoke on Oct. 14 at Israel's first International Brain Technology Conference, which was held at Tel Aviv's refurbished port.
Funding for research on brain diseases has become one of Fattah's top priorities in office.
"The time is now — to invest, to research, to collaborate, to focus. We must engage on every level when it comes to brain research and technology, and there has never been a more opportune moment in history than today," Fattah said, according to a text of his keynote address.
"The possibilities are endless, but we know this much: Making headway in brain science will affect millions of people, and will have an enormous economic impact as well," he added, praising Israel for its commitment to brain science research.
Fattah also had a one-on-one meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres during which they discussed ways Israel and the United States could further collaborate on research.
During their one-on-one meeting, Peres and Fattah discussed their parallel efforts to elevate brain research as a priority in Israel and the United States.
"The highlight of the trip was the extraordinary meeting I had with President Peres. He is a historic figure and it was a great honor to engage over our shared passion for brain research," Fattah said. "We agreed that the work of our two nations to champion brain research is in service to all humankind."
Fattah is known as a reliable supporter of military aid to Israel, though he has, at times, frustrated some supporters by signing congressional letters that have been backed by J Street, the controversial dovish lobbying group for Israel.
Fattah said that when he first planned the trip, Congress was not expected to be in session. But with the government shutdown and the potential for key votes to come up at any point, Fattah decided to spend just two days in the country.
Fattah said he never considered canceling the trip.
"The work I am engaged in is so very important to the United States," he said.

Last night I read idea of online platform, where experts on different business skills can offer their expertize for companies. Company called
Abonnet offers online platform for advisory board. With this idea, experts can give a helping hand for companies and act as their advisors on different areas.
They also have created free of cost themed platform, where any organization can set up their own platform for different subjects. First themed platform is online volunter place, where NGOs can attract new volunteers to work for them online. See webvolunteering.org.
This themed idea is bold and new way to engage your close partners to work together.
Based on this idea, I started to think if there is a need for this kind of experts and SMEs platform for payment area. Idea would be hosting a site powerred by Abonnet, where SMEs can set up project for example for expanding to new country and searching
optimal online payment solutions. Experts can then enter this platform and offer first their solutions. SMEs can ask questions about experts and then select their experts to work for. Because this platform offers secure place to create documents, have online
meetings and share documents online, it would help companies to select right payment options for them.
Question is, does SMEs need help on payments? Who is offering help them today and finally how much experts really understand the real deep needs of payment solutions required by SMEs.

Arthur Andrew Medical Syntol AMD Advanced Microflora Delivery contains a combination of probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes to be the first and only gentle yeast cleanse of its kind. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast colonies, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Prebiotics are soluble fibers that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial flora. Syntol contains inulin as its prebiotic which is completely resistant to bodily digestion, able to pass safely through the stomach and into the intestine where it stimulates the growth of probiotics and bifidobacteria by fermenting and creating the ideal conditions for microflora colonization. The enzyme yeast cleanse is beneficial for the breaking down of dead and decaying yeast. This allows the body to remove the toxic yeast before it has a chance to ferment and release chemicals such as formaldehyde that are known to cause uncomfortable detox symptoms. There is a single layer of cells between the bloodstream and the digestive waste products in our intestines. When the intestines are inhabited with normal, healthy bacterial flora, this close proximity is not a problem. The powerful digestive immune system is designed to swiftly remove toxins when a threat to the body is detected. The more waste that accumulates from a poor diet, low-grade inflammation, and/or abnormal or pathogenic bacteria, the bigger the challenge to determine what is helpful or harmful. The result of waste accumulating in the intestines will increase immune complexing and autoimmune reactivity throughout the body. Syntol directly addresses these causative factors with proteolytic enzymes and probiotics to break down harmful proteins and yeast, remove pathogens and normalize intestinal bacterial flora. Syntol contains 3.4 Billion CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of various non-competing strains of bacteria. One of these strains is the potent B. subtilis that is a spore forming bacteria. Spore germination is a dependable means of delivering healthy flora to the intestine in less than ideal conditions. Most bacteria are susceptible to any acidic pH range, mainly thriving in the more alkaline lower GI, but spores are able to withstand a broader range of variables in regards to pH and temperature ranges. This improves the chances that the probiotic strain will properly germinate and begin the process of restoring intestinal balance. Synol Supports: Beneficial Microflora Colonization Healthy Fungal Levels Normal Digestive Permeability Intestinal/ Digestive Cleansing Optimal Nutrient Absorption Healthy Immune Function Stabilized Bowel Function Syntol Yeast Cleanse Yeast thrives in extremely anaerobic (non oxygenated) conditions. Syntol facilitates an extremely oxygenated environment, preventing the growth of additional yeast colonies and providing the perfect conditions for indigenous bacterial growth. This is accomplished by the Lactobacillus family of microflora included in the formula, which have the ability to produce hydrogen peroxide as their byproduct. This acts as a poison to the yeast, effectively killing colonies of excessive yeast throughout the intestine. In addition, Syntol is extremely effective at removing Candida yeasts that have already attached to the digestive tract. Candida albicans are composed of an outer protective protein layer. Under this shell, Candida is primarily composed of cellulose (their cell walls) and N-acetyl-glucosamine. Syntol uses the extremely potent blend of protease (protein digesting), cellulase and hemicellulase (cellulose digesting), glucoamylase and amylase (breaks down sugars), and serrapeptase. These enzymes strip away the Candida's protective protein shell and begin digesting its cellular infrastructure. Syntol contains this powerful intestinal cleanse to assist in the removal of dead yeast and other bad bacteria from the body. This will protect the body from experiencing detox symptoms from toxins typically given off from the elimination of yeast. What is Syntol?Syntol AMD is a powerful combination of non-competing probiotics and prebiotics that facilitate an extremely oxygen-rich environment, preventing the growth of yeast colonies and providing the perfect conditions for indigenous bacterial growth. In addition, Syntol AMD also contains a powerful enzyme blend that is capable of removing dead yeast, bad bacteria and toxins from the body. Is Syntol Gluten Free?Syntol does not contain gluten. It is free of soy, wheat, tree nuts, dairy, and shellfish. Syntol is vegan friendly. What are Probiotics?Probiotics are medically referred to as a group of "friendly bacteria", or "microflora". Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria and pathogens, and inhibit the negative effects of constant antibiotic overexposure. What are Prebiotics?Prebiotics are essentially the food source for probiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that pass through your digestive tract until they reach the large intestine, where they then feed the beneficial microflora. Supplementing with a prebiotic such as inulin (contained in Syntol) on its own has been clinically shown to increase the body's levels of natural microflora. Supplementing prebiotics together with probiotics provides one's body with the best opportunity to regain gastrointestinal and immune health. Why Syntol?Syntol contains 3.4 billion CFU's of 100% complementary microflora and spore-germinating probiotics per capsule. To stimulate the growth and activity of the probiotics, Inulin, a non-digestible fiber has been added as a prebiotic. In addition to beneficial microflora, Syntol also contains a powerful enzyme blend designed to clear yeast and other unwanted debris out of the intestinal tract, making Syntol much stronger than competing yeast cleanses on the market. Syntol is the only of its kind, containing prebiotics, probiotics and an enzyme blend all in one capsule. How Does Syntol Work?Syntol AMD uses spore germination technology, a revolutionary new process that delivers probiotic spores rather than living bacteria. Probiotic spores are dormant life forms that protect the bacteria from acidic conditions, as well as extreme heat and cold. These spores, along with the potent probiotics, attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal mucosa and begin to germinate, allowing for complete microflora colonization. In addition, the enzyme yeast cleanse will help to break down any dead fungus or toxic materials remaining in the intestinal tract, allowing for a complete eradication of unwanted debris. What is Candida?Various strains of candida are naturally found in the human body. With healthy levels of microflora, these yeast strains live in perfect harmony within the intestine, however, poor diet and other factors can cause candida overgrowth. Some doctors argue that 60 to 80 percent of the US population may be affected by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. Eventually, these yeast strains can begin to turn "parasitic", robbing our bodies of our resources for their own benefit. Over time, Candida can begin developing plantlike roots that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. These roots can dig deep enough to cause permeability (leakage) in the intestinal tract and allow toxic material to flow into the blood. Candida is comprised of an outer protective protein layer and primarily cellulose and N-acetyl-glucosamine (Chitin) under it, making it very difficult for the body to break down and eliminate naturally. Syntol contains a powerful enzyme blend necessary to strip away the protective protein shell and begin digesting the cellular infrastructure of the Candida. Do I Need To Take Syntol Forever?For therapeutic benefit, most people find that a minimum of one month of supplementation is necessary, with the best results occurring one to two months thereafter. Many people find that a maintenance dose of Syntol is a great addition to their daily regimen to keep their body in balance once healthy. Does Syntol Need To Be Refrigerated?Refrigeration of Syntol is not necessary. The advanced spore germination technology and freeze dried bacterial strains allow for a shelf stable product. However, it is important to store probiotics in a cool and dry place. Is Syntol Safe?No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking probiotics or enzymes such as those in Syntol.

It's February now and almost time for Valentine's Day. My grocery store has been advertising this fact since Christmas with an aisle full of huge, red heart-shaped boxes filled with chocolate.
How's your diet doing?
I spent three weeks on a gluten-, corn-, soy-, sugar-, dairy-, egg- and peanut-free diet and found myself dreaming of doughnuts, counting down the days until I'd be allowed to eat cake again.
In the meantime, I ate a lot of dates, beet chips and kale chips.
Maybe the hardest part of a diet — sticking with it — involves psyching ourselves into enjoying what we do get to eat rather than pining for all those forbidden foods.
The Wall Street Journal recently had a story about Boston's big plans to have a city-wide collective diet and lose 1 million pounds.
The program started last April, and, as of the article's publication date, Bostonians had shed 74,597 pounds.
I did a little math and figured out that if each resident lost a little over a pound and a half, the city would meet its goal.
So it should have been easy, right?
The Journal story said Boston offered free exercise classes in June at the City Hall Plaza, which was also the site of the Scooper Bowl all-you-can-eat ice cream festival.
It's a macrocosm of the personal diet — good intentions of healthy eating and exercise thwarted by stress-eating and comfort foods.
When we're down and out, sore and tired yet still busy, we tend to turn to candy bars, not carrots.
How come?
Carrots are crunchy, sweet, brightly colored, portable and inexpensive. And talk about convenient — you don't even have to peel off a wrapper.
Take that, Snickers.
Dole Fresh Fruit, Westlake Village, Calif., launched a promotion in late summer billing bananas as "Nature's Original Energy Bar." Bil Goldfield, communications manager, told The Packer's Cynthia David in October that the campaign had yielded good results in reaching consumers.
An energy bar isn't exactly an ice cream sandwich, true, but it's good to see produce companies stepping up to the marketing plate and promoting the natural benefits of fruit and vegetables over the perceived health halo of manufactured packaged foods.
On the dessert front, though, there is Dole's partnership with Yonanas, the machine that makes an ice cream-like treat out of frozen bananas. A similar dessert satisfied my sugar cravings more than once during my diet and kept me away from the cookies.
Here's hoping Bostonians see more success in the last months of their diet.
After all, whether it's smaller waistlines for consumers or bigger sales for produce companies, it takes hard work and sticking to it to get the desired result.
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.

Elevated baskets are primarily a way for courses not blessed with naturally sloped terrain to add similar putting challenge. Perhaps you haven't seen the Aug 2011 updated design and installation standard for targets:
"Manufacturers are required to produce targets so the height of the basket rim above the playing surface will be 82 cm +/- 6 cm. However, course developers may install some targets where the height falls outside the 76-88 cm manufacturing range. The PDGA Course Committee suggests that no more than 6 targets out of 18 be installed outside the manufactured height range with just 2 or 3 being preferred. Targets suspended from above can be fun for recreational play but there should be a way to secure it from swinging freely during sanctioned play."
Chuck Kennedy wrote:I suggested several of the "gimmicks" that Pete designed at Hippodrome or he asked me and others if they were legit disc golf challenges. If you go thru the course, they only have a few baskets that do not meet the original spec where the basket has to be between 82cm +/-6cm from grade as measured at four points below the rim of the basket. There's the one on the long pole, the one on the barrels and the one in the ground. I think every other basket meets the original four points height measurement including the ones on the high mound, steps platform and the two hanging including the noose.
Chuck Kennedy wrote:@ Itchy - What's the problem with either of the pictured target positions? Both targets are PDGA approved. There's nothing wrong with psyching out the player by not having a nice rounded, grassy mound there. If those basket positions cost you a shot, it would seem your focus and putting skills would be areas for improvement.

After discovering damage to more than 50 petroglyphs at Petroglyph Point in Lava Beds National Monument in Tule Lake, California, security has been stepped up and visitor access to the rock art has been closed off.
"A mindless act of this nature causes damage in seconds that can never be restored, shows disrespect to American Indian tribal members and current monument visitors, and prevents future generations from enjoying a part of American history. These resources belong to us all, and their protection is everyone's responsibility. Unfortunately, this practice has occurred in the past, and while there is no way to repair the damage done, future destruction can be prevented by promoting respect of all cultural and natural resources, and educating visitors about the importance of the evidence of our collective past," said Lava Beds National Monument Superintendent Mike Reynolds in a press release.
For the time being, until a more permanent means of protection can be put into place, visitors can no longer view the petroglyphs and the National Park Service has increased patrols in the area.
Reynolds explained to ICTMN that a plan for protecting the 4,000-year-old petroglyphs was already in the works but now it's even more important that it gets put into place.
Perry Chocktoot, culture and heritage director for the Klamath Tribes, told the Herald and News how his ancestors would climb down the cliffs at Petroglyph Point or float canoes across Tule Lake when the waters were higher, to carve the art.
"Knowledge of the past enriches our people," Chocktoot said. "We need to educate the general public on the area's sacredness and the importance of preservation."
Reynolds said that the thousands of petroglyphs and pictographs are mostly protected by "an unsightly but secure fence." The damage that was discovered May 17 happened in an area that is not fenced in. "They didn't crawl over the fence to do the damage," he said.
"It's super soft rock, historically Native Americans would carve into the rock because it's easy to carve into. All you have to do is pick up any rock off the ground and carve into it," Reynolds explained. "That's exactly what the vandals did. The same conditions that made it appealing over the last 4,000 years are still appealing today. Either they don't realize the damage they are doing, or they realize it and don't care."
"There is a faction of that community down there that believes it's their right to go mark stuff up and pick up arrowheads and dig up graves and it comes down to a lack of respect for the indigenous people," Chocktoot told the Herald and News.
This is why additional security measures, but more importantly, education is going to be at the top of the task force's to do list. Reynolds said the task force will be consulting with the Klamath Tribes on not only the best way to protect the petroglyphs, but also on the best way to tell the story and educate the public.
"Trying to get the public to understand the importance of the site and the pictographs and petroglyphs and their sacred nature to the tribes and why that should be important to us as Americans… The spirit and the knowledge comes directly from the tribe," Reynolds said.
No arrests have been made, but Reynolds said the investigation into the vandalism is ongoing. If anyone has information regarding the incident, they can call 530-667-8100, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

IN ONE of Melbourne's outer northern suburbs, a young couple are packing up their belongings and preparing to move house.
Months of harassment - death threats, break-ins, men hiding in their garden, dead rats left in their letterbox - have traumatised them and their two small children and forced them from the home they love.
''We got married living here, had our babies living here, and one day we wanted to buy this house. We love this street and this area,'' the man says as his tearful wife shakes her head. ''And he has destroyed all that.''
The ''he'' is Carlos Dario Martinez - also known as Carl Martinez, Mark Kelly, Charlie Martin or Dario Martinez - and the young family is only one of the many victims he has left in his wake.
It is hard to ascertain how many people Martinez has ripped off, but Fairfax Media has spoken to at least a dozen who have fallen prey in the past 12 months, losing a combined total well in excess of $100,000.
The first public evidence of his scams appears to be an entry on an internet forum from March 2011, which generated a flood of angry posts from other victims, including one person who claims to have lost $50,000. With this in mind, it is possible Martinez's victims could run into the dozens, and the money he has stolen could total hundreds of thousands of dollars.
While the damage Martinez has wrought on his victims' lives is significant, his methods are simple, tried and true. Using a variety of tactics - websites where tradesmen advertise, word of mouth, spontaneous approaches in the street - he finds potential customers for tiling and kitchen installation.
Galina Likhovetsky made contact with Martinez through a website last May, and asked him to do tiling in her kitchen. Over the next few days, Martinez suggested other work Mrs Likhovetsky should get done, and said he could organise it for a competitive price.
Mrs Likhovetsky and her husband agreed, and over a period of months paid deposits for jobs including a pergola, a room division, a carport, plumbing, drain repairs, rewiring and painting. Then in August, Martinez went to the Likhovetsky's Hampton East house in tears.
''He told us a very sad story about his mother being very ill; she is in Argentina all alone,'' Mrs Likhovetsky says.
''She has difficulty coming to Australia because she had been here once and overstayed her visa. She has now an opportunity to come here temporarily on humanitarian grounds, but she needs to pay $3500, but it should be done immediately because somebody who is helping her there is leaving for a holiday and it would be too late when he comes back.''
Martinez asked Mr and Mrs Likhovetsky to lend him the money for his mother's visa, which they did, despite their mounting concerns about the rocketing price and slow progress of the work on their house.
We called the carpenter who made the kitchen and asked him to come to install panels. Carl was very angry and insisted he paid for the panels already until I asked him to show a receipt. He never did.
Over the next few months, work slowed almost to a halt and Martinez became more evasive. The Likhovetskys began ringing the other tradesmen supposedly working on the house, and found some of them had not been paid by Martinez.
''We called the carpenter who made the kitchen and asked him to come to install panels. Carl was very angry and insisted he paid for the panels already until I asked him to show a receipt. He never did,'' Mrs Likhovetsky says.
Finally, the Likhovetskys looked Martinez up on the internet and found the forum listing complaints from his alleged victims. They rang him and he promised to finish their kitchen and repay the loan, but that was the last time they heard from him. They lost up to $40,000.
The Likhovetskys' story tallies with those of others Fairfax Media spoke to from suburbs across Melbourne. But as Martinez was taking money from householders, tradesmen to whom he subcontracted jobs were also being ripped off.
Electrician James Rickey was in his van at a local shop in July when Martinez approached and offered him work at the Likhovetskys' house, and on another job in Brunswick.
Months later, after a litany of excuses from Martinez, Mr Rickey was forced to accept he would never be paid the $12,000 he was owed for the work. ''It does make you feel a bit silly, '' Mr Rickey says. ''The red flags should have gone up.''
Other tradesmen are less sanguine. A western suburbs stonemason says he prays to God every day that he finds Martinez, and that when he does, ''something very bad will happen to him''.
Another tradesman says his tools were stolen by angry electricians who believed he, rather then Martinez, had dudded them over a renovation job. The tradesman, who hired Martinez to work on the house, says he lost almost $23,000.
Martinez is reportedly charming and convincing and has an extraordinary ability to generate pity. Victims say they feel embarrassed by the ease with which they were taken in.
''Don't use my name, please. I deal with budgets at work, and I don't need people to know about this,'' says one, who describes himself as ''normally hard-headed and cynical''.
Many of his victims say he told them his father has died of cancer and that his financial problems come from having to pay for the funeral. He told others he himself was sick, and that he didn't answer phone calls because he was in hospital.
''Knowing everything you know about him now, you could meet him tomorrow and he would still con money out of you,'' says Adrian, who worked for Martinez for 10 months, is owed $5000 in wages and, like other victims, does not want his surname used.
Adrian was put in touch with Martinez by a western suburbs job agency contracted by the federal government to find work for people on the dole. Martinez promised him $150 a day, but usually paid him late, and less than he owed him, before finally disappearing.
As well as his natural ability to charm, Martinez uses false addresses, multiple phone numbers, and apparently faked invoices and receipts.
Victims have criss-crossed Melbourne trying to hunt him down at various houses, including the one occupied by the traumatised young family at the start of this story.
Judging by their description of some of the people looking for Martinez, suburban home owners and angry tradesmen are the least of his problems. They were told outlaw motorcycle gang members are looking for the fugitive shyster.
Victims believe Martinez's sister knows where is, but Fairfax Media has chosen not to name her because this has not been proven. Until recently, her brother lived 100 metres from her western suburbs house.
Last week she claimed she and her husband had also been ripped off by Martinez, and unleashed a torrent of abuse at this reporter, before threatening to call the police.
Attempts to contact Martinez by phone and email were unsuccessful, but it remains to be seen how long he can stay invisible in an era when a person's past can follow them through cyberspace. Some victims say they have been to the police but were told it is a civil matter. However, police confirmed a detective at Boroondara is investigating Martinez.
Consumer Affairs Victoria also has him in its sights. ''There is no building registration held for Mr Martinez or any of his aliases, which is required for a person undertaking domestic building works costing more than $5000,'' a spokeswoman said.
''CAV has received 11 recent complaints from customers claiming that Mr Martinez took excessive deposits for building work, failed to complete that work and then could not be contacted.''

Salaries are dropping and just in the nick of time.
With recession fears looming, small business owners in search of good news can find it in this month's SurePayroll Small Business Scorecard.
After an amazing twenty-nine straight months of salary increases, the small business economy finally saw a decline in average salaries in February .
That's good news for small business owners, and it's allowed them to continue to grow despite the economic storm clouds overhead.
We'll jump into the details on the numbers shortly, but it's safe to say that this is good economic news .
The small business economy, which is a huge engine of growth for the overall economy, refuses to stall out. That's evidenced by the strength in hiring that we see in our economic data this month.
On the salary front, it's clear that softness in the economy is allowing employers to offer employees a little less money.
In effect, small business employees are making a small contribution to keep the economy moving forward…and hopefully that contribution will allow small business owners to make it through rough economic waters to a time when they can again grow while paying higher salaries.
Of course, the downside risk on lower salaries is that consumers will have less money in their pockets, and that may slow consumer spending, which we've become overly dependent on as an engine for economic growth.

Bethancourt collects three hits with Triple-A Gwinnett
Catcher Christian Bethancourt returned to Triple-A Gwinnett's lineup Monday after spending a week on the disabled list due to a bruised left hand he suffered when he was hit by a foul tip. Tuesday, the Braves' No. 3 prospect collected three hits and homered to lead Gwinnett to a 7-1 victory against Durham.
Bethancourt, ranked No. 80 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 Prospects list, finished the night 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs. His home run was his eighth of the season and third in the last three weeks.
Center fielder Todd Cunningham, the Braves' No. 18 prospect, went 2-for-3 with two runs, two walks and a stolen base.
In 86 games with Gwinnett this season, Bethancourt is hitting .273/.296/.404. He also spent a few weeks in the Major Leagues, serving as the Braves catcher while Evan Gattis was on the disabled list in July. He hit .240/.283/.260 in 13 games.
Bethancourt is expected to return to Atlanta when the Minor League season ends and Major League rosters expand next week.

Topic: SCCA - MTWebster and 8800Jak
Hi! My Mom was diagnosed with intra-hepatic CC last January 2012 at Providence Regional Med'l Ctr in Everett, WA. We were advised to seek a 2nd opinion at the UW Liver Tumor Clinic then SCCA. Because of the portal vein involvement, my Mom isn't a candidate for surgery. She did the gemcitabine/cisplatin regimen and Y-90 Radioembolization. It was the latter that helped reduce the size of the tumor (>90%).
My Mom is still being seen at the SCCA. I believe that my Mom is in good hands over there.
Prayers provided comfort and security in this journey. God is good.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As millions across the mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Midwest weigh damages from Hurricane Sandy, the storm also is having a wide-reaching effect on stocks spanning a number of industries. Equity markets in New York opened for trading after being closed for two days. The hurricane, which took lives, stranded families and crippled utilities, touched industries ranging from refiners and retailers, to utilities, airlines, insurers and telecoms. Meanwhile, in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan and across the Eastern Seaboard, rescue workers mounted a monumental effort to protect lives and repair basic infrastructure that spans nearly a dozen states as of Wednesday. Major stock indices opened slightly higher only to fall, as investors digested the effect that Sandy may have on corporate earnings in coming quarters. Notably the technology sector underperformed, as a lock-up on hundreds of millions of Facebook ( FB) shares ended and management changes at Apple ( AAPL) pre-empted heavy selling. Investors braced for the worst, as estimates emerged that put the damage at $30 billion and up. Insurance giants like Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A), Travelers ( TRV) and Allstate ( ALL) may suffer double the claims of Hurricane Irene, according to early industry-wide loss estimates from Eqecat, AIR Worldwide and Credit Suisse. On Tuesday, AIR estimated insurance claims may reach between $7 billion and $15 billion, more than Monday's initial figures from Eqecat. Both firms model and assess risk and catastrophe losses for the insurance industry. In a note to clients on Wednesday, Credit Suisse put fourth-quarter Hurricane Sandy-related losses between $5 billion and $15 billion, and cut the price targets of Allstate, Arch Capital ( ACGL), Chubb ( CB) and Travelers. Outside of direct property and casualty insurance claims, and those attributed to businesses hurt by the storm, analysts see a range of earnings increases and decreases across industries. Goldman Sachs analysts expect home-improvement giants like Home Depot ( HD), Lowe's ( LOW), Lumber Liquidators ( LL) and Owens Corning ( OC) to benefit from Sandy, as homeowners and businesses spend heavily to repair houses, offices and stores. Within the retail sector, the Goldman analysts, led by Matthew Fassler, forecast a hit to casinos, restaurants and discount stores, highlighting Boyd Gaming ( BYD), The Cheesecake Factory ( CAKE), Dollar Tree ( DLTR), Dunkin' Brands ( DNKN), Five Below ( FIVE) and Panera Bread ( PNRA). Those companies are concentrated in states like New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware -- in Sandy's wide storm path. "
We believe the degree of impact on companies will likely depend on one or more of the following three drivers: stock-ups; store closings; and cleanup/rebuilding," Goldman's Fassler wrote. Other sectors will also face challenges depending on how crippling Sandy proves to be. As of early Wednesday, four million households remain without power and reports indicate the death toll attributed to the hurricane is approaching 50.

A federal judge will hear arguments in a lawsuit filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) that accuses the Kansas State Fair of violating the animal rights group's free speech rights.
PETA filed the suit this week, naming the Kansas State Fair Board, the state of Kansas and the fair's general manager, Denny Stoecklein, as defendants. The hearings will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 4.
At issue is a 13-minute video called Glass Walls that PETA wants to show at its booth at the Kansas State Fair, which begins on Sept. 7 and runs through Sept. 16. The video shows images from undercover videos shot at slaughterhouses and farms. PETA describes the video, narrated by ex-Beatle and vegetarian Paul McCartney, as "gruesome."
The Kansas State Fair told PETA that it can't show a video or pictures "that depict animal slaughter, animal harvest, hide removal, or show or depict live animals being decapitated, dismembered or butchered." The fair board further instructed that any such images must "not be readily visible to passersby or the general public on any side of the booth."
PETA argues the content-based restrictions violate its free speech rights because the fair is a public forum. The Kansas attorney general's office contends the restrictions are lawful and has vowed to zealously defend fair officials. The sides will argue on whether to grant a restraining order blocking enforcement of the restrictions.
Last year, PETA attempted to exhibit similar booth at the State Fair of Texas but was denied. PETA's exhibit first appeared at this year's Iowa State Fair where an issue surfaced not so much with the video's imagery, but with the audio. As fair organizers stated "four-letter words are not allowed in fair exhibits." Rather than agree to a compromise solution PETA removed its own booth from the fairgrounds. It was allowed to return after it addressed the word usage.
At the Colorado State Fair, PETA had an anti-4-H display that focused on its four H's—which stood for "Hell for animals," "Heart attack–inducing," "Hazard to the environment," and "Hypocritical for teaching kids to care about only certain animals and to disrespect others." It also displayed the video.
In the Kansas suit, The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Kansas and Western Missouri is representing PETA free of charge, along with Kansas City law firm Copilevitz & Canter. As PETA reported, Doug Bonney, legal director for the ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri, said, "I've never seen anything like this—this is a classic content-based restriction on what the speaker can say, which I think is unconstitutional."
U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten, Wichita, Kan., will preside over the hearing on PETA's request for the court to block the restrictions placed on its Kansas State Fair booth. Marten has been called a staunch defender of the First Amendment.
Judge Marten was appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton, and has a record that shows an unwavering deference to free speech rights.

Airline announces up to $100 fee for carry on bags
EUGENE, Ore. - Frontier Airlines starts service from Eugene to Denver May 16.
If book a flight, however, you might want to go directly through the airline's website: customers who book through sites like Travelocity and Orbitz will face a $25 to $100 fee for carry on bags.
The airline said Wednesday that the charges result from complaints from loyal customers about a lack of space in the overhead bin.
KVAL News spoke to travelers at the Eugene Airport who aren't fond of the fee.
"I think that by nickel and diming passengers they're not going to have too many advocates of their airline," said Jill Papparides.
"I feel singled out that I have to book through them in order to save $25," said Zeo Brobst.
And the airline had news for travelers who find the fees hard to swallow: it'll cost $2 for an in-flight beverage.
