This is a really interesting post. I'm going to send the link to my mom who takes medication for GERD. Thanks.

Homemade sauerkraut and most other fermented foods will help, too. Kefir, yogurt, pickles, pickled beets or the juice - all good things to try.
So does aloe gel - it coats the esophagus and helps to reconstruct the stomach and intestinal tract.

I have GERD and I can't wait to see if this actually works. GERD sucks!

Anonymous, you're right. ACV isn't the only thing that can help.
Pam, Grace, don't forget to report back. It'll be interesting to see if it helps.

I use Bragg's apple cider vinegar and i make regular bone broths. When is the best time to consume them? Between meals, before meals, during?
- November 23, 2011 at 5:40 PM
- Ruth Almon said...
Hi Jeff,
I assume you're asking about ACV for GERD. Take it at the beginning of each meal. Let us know if it helps.

My husband had the worst acid reflux and required medication. After taking ACV, it went away and has been gone for years and he doesn't even take the ACV anymore. I am a new follower from Frugally Sustainable. Vicky from Mess For Less
- November 23, 2011 at 8:17 PM
Thanks for the quick response Ruth! You have a great website!
I usually add a bit of ACV to my bone broths, which i drink daily. I have also tried adding it to water as well.
I have read a lot about the benefits of ACV, bone broths, digestive bitters, fermented foods etc. I guess i'm just confused as to when the best time is to consume them. My GERD symptoms have more or less disapeared but just wanted some clarification on when the best time is to consume these types of foods. I will try the ACV before meals and keep you posted.

Bone broth is great for healing your gut lining!
I assume you mean you pour in a couple tablespoons when making a pot of bone broth. The vinegar helps the minerals to leach out of the bones into the broth. That's good for the broth, but you get a very small amount of ACV per bowl.
I always buy unpasturized ACV. If you boil it in soup, it loses it's probiotics, so I think there's some advantage to taking it uncooked.
Good luck!

I've been meaning to blog about this (so much to write about, so little time!). My husband was on acid reflux medication, and is off it thanks to Bragg's ACV. It really does work :)

My brother and I used to vie for the left-over home-made salad dressing at the bottom of the bowl The recipe: Two parts olive oil to 1 part apple cider vinegar, and some salt and pepper and herbs like oregano, thyme, basil, etc. Delicious, and not cooked.
- December 1, 2011 at 6:07 PM
I had GERD so bad that several times I found myself in hospital emergency rooms thinking I was having a heart attack. I got most of my calories from whole grains and legumes and was a lifelong avoider of sugar and junk food. At 60 i found myself 40 lbs overweight and developing Arthritis. I went "Paleo" and eliminated ALL grains and legumes and most fruit from my diet. In TWO DAYS the GERD went away and the arthritis went in ten days
- December 5, 2011 at 3:27 PM
- Ruth Almon said...
Thanks for sharing, Michael. I have no doubt that for some people, getting off grains is a big factor, and in some cases THE main factor.
So glad to hear you found the answers for you.

Thanks for this!
I don't usually have reflux issues but right now I'm 33 weeks pregnant and liquids seem to want to come back up when I lie down which makes it hard to get to sleep! I finally got around to getting some Braggs after reading this post and I've been doing much better the last couple of weeks. I wasn't sure if it would be able to help when the problem was a squished stomach from a growing baby but it did. I've just been shooting it though rather than adding it to a drink.
Just had to come back and say thanks :)
- January 23, 2012 at 3:03 AM
hello. i drink a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. i did not dilute it on water. is it ok? i have acid reflux and it really hurts. :(
- June 22, 2012 at 8:11 AM
- Ruth Almon said...
Hi Miyaya,
I think it is much better to dilute it, especially if you take it day after day for years, like I do. I think over time the straight acid would be bad for your teeth. I drink it with a straw to reduce contact.
Good luck!

I always knew that ACV had a lot of benefits but I did not know that apple cider vinegar for acid reflux remedy was one of them. Now I do not have to suffer from gross refluxes.
- July 4, 2012 at 6:26 AM
- Phil Dornan said...
I won't name the acid reflux med, but over time I got lactose intolerant, hypoglycemic (slight), then abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Stopping the med, within 6 weeks all of those problems vanished. I started taking antacids and as you've pointed out, not good either. I'm also trying Bragg ACV as of today, and didn't know how often to take it. Before each meal works for me! Thanks for the great article!
- July 16, 2012 at 9:39 PM
Hi there! Must the ACV be unpastuerized? Or will the pasteurized work anyway? I just bought a whole bottle of it. Thanks!
- July 17, 2012 at 12:46 AM
Has to be unpasteurized. You need the 'matrix,' also called the 'mother'--that cloudy stuff pasteurizing removes. It's worth the extra money, believe me, and you can use the other on salads.
- July 28, 2012 at 8:42 PM
I tried ACV yesterday after hearing so many wonderful things. Unfortunately I have had the most painful heartburn that I have ever had both last night and today. I cannot seem to get it to stop now.
- August 10, 2012 at 7:17 PM
- Jessica said...
Here is my only issue. I was told - as a pregnant woman -that it's not a good ideal to have anything unpasteurized. Does that mean that this wont' work for me because I have to have pasteurized ACV?
- August 20, 2012 at 5:20 PM
- Mark said...
I'm thinking there are two types of Acid Reflux sufferers. There are those who have TOO MUCH acid in their stomach, and there are those who have TOO LITTLE acid in their stomach. I think the best way to identify which type you are is to eat a big meal, and see if it causes indigestion. If you have any signs of indigestion then that probably means you have TOO LITTLE hydrochloric acid in your bowels. I think if you have too little, then ACV (and substances like Apple Cider Vinegar) is perfect for you.

I'm an ACV believer for relieving GERD! I tried all type of RX or OTC medications, It doesn't do any good for me. I even researched for surgery, Thanks for the forum like this that led me to try ACV. However, since I still can't resist those stuff that's could activate GERD such as caffeine, alcohol, etc. I tried to minimize my intake. One cup of coffee, light beer (no strong liquor), and I still keeps on taking notes about what could trigger my GERD. Especially when I'm around with other people coz the worse side effect that I get from GERD was halitosis that kinda made me unsociable for quite a lont time. But not anymore...for now!
- September 17, 2012 at 7:11 PM
- Helen said...
What about an over acidic stomach? Can it help that? I don't have GERD but I do have an over production of acid which I take medication for - right now now of it's working.
- September 26, 2012 at 5:14 AM
- Helen said...
Opps that second now should read none.
- September 26, 2012 at 5:15 AM
- Ruth Almon said...
Hi Helen,
I'm not a doctor so of course I can't tell you what to do. Canventional medicine says GERD is a result of a stomach is too acidic, and therefore the recommendation is to take an antacid.
The alternative viewpoint is that GERD and similar problems are actually caused by too little acid, that's at least one of the reasons why ACV helps.
Your medication and ACV may be working at cross purposes if you take both. You might want to consult with an alternative practitioner near you.
Good luck with whatever path you take!
- September 27, 2012 at 2:32 PM
Hi Helen, How long does ACV take to start working? I'm using it before meals. I've had GERD for 15 years.
- September 29, 2012 at 10:32 PM
Apple cider vinegar has consistently helped my GERD related problems. It is not going to cure the underlying problem, but it will give short term relief and I believe it will aid in the long term healing if the body.
- October 21, 2012 at 4:05 AM
I just learned about Braggs last weekend while discussing my incredible heartburn with my brother in law and brother. Describing my symptoms, they both said I probably have acid reflux....need to confirm with dr but I was taking up to 20 tums a day with little relief. Hoping this acv is going to help. BIL recommended I take a tsp a day but I am reading different things here. Any recommendations for a first timer?
- October 21, 2012 at 4:53 AM
I was told to stop taking ACV by a doctor whom I was going to because GERD was destroying my voice box & esophagus. When I researched ACV, I found that it's the only acidic food that turns alkaline in the body -- not raising the body's pH levels. Then, I read that it was actually a cure for GERD. I knew I had to get off the Prilosec I was taking; that I was told I'd be taking the rest of my life. It even states on the label not to take Prilosec longer than 2 months & I researched to discover it can permanently shut down necessary acid production, permanently. Since my esophagus was so badly damaged, it hurt to drink ANY acidic fluid. I found ACV in pill form & took it. After a while, my heartburn & reflux symptoms went away COMPLETELY. As long as I take it a couple of times a week, I can eat ANYTHING without heartburn or GERD problems, whatsoever!
Side note: While I was waiting for the ACV pills to work, I used super papaya enzymes (chewable & delicious!) to instantly relieve heartburn symptoms.
- October 22, 2012 at 9:18 AM
Another few things about ACV that I've discovered from my own experiences (along with research)
1. It IS good for hot flashes as well as any overheating problem. The research I did said it helps the body regulate temperature.
2. I was diagnosed with arthritis, bursitis, & chondromalasia (softening of the knee cartilage). I'd wondered why, after starting the ACV, those joint problems stopped. More researching showed it's excellent for the joints -- in amimals, too. I told a friend to put some in her older dog's water to help with hip problems & it worked.
3. I'd seen research that touted it could help clear heart arteries of plaque & used it for the chest pains I'd been having. I don't have them anymore.
4. Using ACV for dandruff is great, too. I wondered if it would help my kitty & a friend's dog that had problems with skin irritations... it did. I researched that, too & found that it can be used straight; but, if there are any open wounds, mix half water/half ACV & spray onto the animal, blotting in with a towel. It can help keep fleas away, too.
I don't have a blog or website; but, I'd be happy to help anyone wanting research done, anytime. I can be reached on Facebook - TreeShot Newman.
Remember: Natural isn't what to look for on labels - SAFE is! =D
- October 22, 2012 at 9:46 AM
I have acid reflux and am on meds. It was suggested to try ACV which I'm totally into doing. My question is do I quit taking my meds or slowly wean off them while starting the ACV.
I find I feel so sick when I quit taking the meds.
- October 26, 2012 at 8:39 AM
I want to try this cure for my father but i cant find APPLE cider vinegar thats unfiltered. There's cider vinegar available though but will that be ok? Help pls...
- October 28, 2012 at 5:45 AM
Hello, my name is Mike and I am a recent survivor of Esophageal Cancer. One of the main reasons for my Cancer was acid reflux. If you suffer from presistant heartburn or reflux more then 2 times a week you should get checked right away. Early detection was the key to my recovery. Approximately 15% of the 18,000 people diagnosed in the US this year will not survive 5 years.
- April 1, 2013 at 7:56 PM
I read about ACV and talked my boyfriend who has been suffering from GERD for about 8 years now into taking it. He has been taking omeprazole and ive been worried about the damage it can cause beeing on a pill. He has been drinkin a glass of water with 1 tablespoon about 3 times a day right before every meal and he says its working for him. Hopefully he can lower the amount per day soon and even if he takes it once a day in the future it's better with ACV then being on a pill. Ill update in a few weeks.
- April 22, 2013 at 7:06 PM
While I completely agree... There are 2 things that are contradicting in your summary that im confused about. FIrst, it says the PH of the stomach must be 3 or less. THEN..(WHEN STOMACH PH IS LOW) (isnt it supposed to be low????).. pathogens may grow around the sphincter found at the top of the stomach and paralyze the muscle, allowing food to be regurgitated – i.e. acid reflex / GERD.

- tung nguyen said...
I am confused by that too!
- May 9, 2013 at 6:04 AM
It's been 3 weeks now and my boyfriend hasn't taken a pill or the ACV. It took 7 days for him to stop taking ACV. He hasn't suffered from heartburn yet.

- tung nguyen said...
Do you have to refrigerate acv after opening?
- May 27, 2013 at 7:11 AM
I have suffered from acid reflux for almost two months now. I have taken omeprazole and mesoprozole to no effect. I just found your sight and went straight and bought ACV, I took 2 teaspoon in a cup of water, i wll post you about developements later. But the ACV i bought, they wrote not pasteurised on the bottle, but there is no cloudy stuff on it. Can there be a pasteurised ACV without the cloudy stuff?
- May 30, 2013 at 10:56 PM
- Ruth Almon said...
@ Javndam
Great news about your boyfriend!
@ tung nguyen
you don't have to refrigerate the ACV
Some brands are unpasturized, but they filter out the mother. That's not a problem.
About the PH confusion, different parts of the digestive tract are supposed to have different PH levels.
- June 7, 2013 at 2:04 PM
hey i just read your link just recently i have been diagnose with GERD but im wondering if ACV will help cause i read nothing wit vinger must not be taken since it has acid by the way im on Alocid n my stomach feel abit upset sometimes
- June 22, 2013 at 11:39 PM
I suffered my first ever gallbladder attack last week and after 9 straight hours of unbelievable pain I went to the ER which set me back $900. I read about organic ACV mixed with organic apple juice and bought some. I could feel another attack coming on today and immediately took 1 Tbs of the ACV and 3 TBS of the apple juice and was pain free within 10 minutes. I've tried the OTC prilosec, zantec, prevacid, tums...nothing helped. I am absolutely floored how well this stopped the pain in it's tracks.
- June 23, 2013 at 8:59 AM
To anonymous taking alocid,
I'm not a medical professional, so you'll have to decide for yourself if you want to try it.
The idea that GERD is caused by too little acid, rather than too much, goes against conventional wisdom. So sure, if your doctor thinks your problem is that you have to much acid, he or she will tell you to avoid ACV.
If you do decide to try it, report back and let us know if it helped! Good luck!
- June 23, 2013 at 1:56 PM
Hi Anonymous,
So happy to hear that it helped you with your gallbladder attack!! I keep reading about more and more thing it helps with.

I just started taking it and it instantly worked for my hearburn. Ill keep you guys updated on how I feel in about a week of taking it. Thanks for the home remedy recommendation I appreciate it
- June 29, 2013 at 1:03 AM
- Cristofer Perez said...
anyone on prevacid or omeperazole should stop and try acv. It really worked for me!
- June 29, 2013 at 1:13 AM
Hi Cristofer,
So glad it helped!

- Cordelia said...
I was put on Prilosec by my doctor about 10 days ago. After a week, it wasn't helping and I kept reading about the possibility of it making GERD worse so I went off of it. I took a Zantac yesterday and today, which helped a little, but started with the bad heartburn tonight after dinner. I just took some ACV and it seems to have helped. Does anyone have an idea as to what the dose should be daily?
- July 1, 2013 at 4:15 AM
Hi Cordelia,
I don't think there is a proper dose. Start with one teaspoon dilluted in water and see if that does the trick. If you have only partial relief, try gradually upping the dose. You might want 2 glasses with a teaspoon each, rather than one with a larger amount of ACV.
Also, see if improving your diet can reduce GERD.
- July 1, 2013 at 6:50 AM
- Annelise Ecklund said...
I've been using ACV for 15 months now and my GERD is completely gone. I would say that for those who have low acid production and choose to try this, be persistent. At first it had its ups and downs but I persevered and it is truly a miracle. My gastroenterologist refuses to believe it and kept pushing Protonix, etc which makes me sicker! My regular MD though has started recommending it to her other patients since she has seen how well it has worked for me. It is so worth it if you stick with it and of course don't push it diet wise.
- July 2, 2013 at 7:49 PM
Hi Annelise,
So wonderful to hear about your success. Thanks for sharing!

- Wayne said...
I was literally researching how to naturally control my GERD as I am burping up undigested pieces of food. I could not stop burping and it was really starting to bother me. I took a tablespoon of ACV and it burns a little but I have stopped burping and I feel better after about 30 minutes or so. . I used the regular store brand but I am going to find the Braggs brand tomorrow. I am really hoping that this helps resolve my problem because I am starting to get the GERD cough. I thought it was just a dry throat cause I live in AZ but it happens after I eat and especially when I go to bed. It is starting to disrupt my life. I really have high hopes for this as a solution. I will keep you updated.
- July 14, 2013 at 7:52 AM
Hi Wayne,
Please do keep us updated. Don't take the ACV straight. Sounds like you took a tablespoon straight. I wouldn't advice doing that. I think it would affect your teeth over time. I always dilute it in a glass of water and drink it with a straw. Much easier on the system, I think.
Good luck!
- July 14, 2013 at 8:07 PM
How long does it take for ACV to work for someone with chronic acid reflux?
Thank you

Great Question-Look at Tayana, Wauquiez
What a great question, I say this because that is where it all begins for most of us! The dream! And to make the dream it helps to think about boats!
There is pretty and there is built ford tough, some are pretty, some are not. What I looked for when I finally got a clue was a boat that was made like a tank! Sturdy, sails well, not hobby horse, and LAYOUT!
How does the floor plan work for you? Most of the time you will spend at anchor. Can you single hand her if you need to? How much work does she need? It can cost a lot more to put a rough boat into good condition than to buy a smaller boat in great shape.
I would avoid the hunter in almost all cases. She is pretty. She is pretty. How pretty will you be in a gale...if she comes apart? newbies find themselves in rough seas sometimes, I did in a fulll blown gale in the gulf, 25 foot seas, winds at 80 to 90 kts, thank god I was in a slow, hunkering tank!
Look at heavy, well constructed, not too bad shape unless you want to dream for years while she is in dry dock, and of course the experience will help you.
Most guys shiver when you ask them what kind of boat to buy. The quesion unmaked is not what boat you should buy, but what boat did the rest of us buy and why? What mistakes did we make? What did we do right!
Good luck chavo, you will find your place!
|While you are learning to sail, you can day charter various boats and see which one would meet your parameters.
If and when you get there, you'll see every conceivable make, model, age boat there is successfully cruising the Caribbean. Hunters including the one you mention are certainly among the group. We spent many years cruising there and assure you virtually anything seaworthy will keep you safe as long as you know what you are doing.
About the only objective statement one can made regarding Hunters also applies to Beneteau and Catalina - none are bluewater boats but they are designed for coastal cruising, lack storage and tank volume which are prerequisites for cruising and some (particularly the Beneteaus) have relatively flat bottoms making them susceptible to pounding.
Once you gain some experience, you will better appreciate the differences and make a more informed decision.
JRP has good advice, as usual... take lessons, gain experience, learn... What many neophytes fail to realize is that even the BVIs are over 1000nm ESE of Miami - that's a thousand miles upwind in the open ocean... more "over" to the Caribbean than "down" from the ICW.
Getting there is a tougher assignment than island-hopping once you're there.
We sail mostly offshore, but mostly in the Gulf, not in the Stream. lFrom experience, I am personally leary of the Hunter 33 for what you are going to do - for production boats, they are very nice. However, back in '82 we bought a brand new Hunter 33 at the Houston In-the-Water boat show, replacing our old Eastward Ho (a 7,200 lb 24 ft, full keel, cutter). Within less than a year we sold the Hunter - we realized it would not stand up to the rigors of our sailing needs. That's when we bought our current Bristol, which, among other adventures, has carried us through two Force 10 storms at sea, that I doubt the Hunter 33 would have survived.
With that said, there are a lot of strong bluewater boats that you can find for your price range - go to the list of bluewater boats in the boat buying thread - you won't find Hunters listed.
if you are talking a mid 70's to 82 hunter 33, they would do it with out a problem. the cherubinis ( years listed above ) are very solid boats and could be found in your price range, the 30 and 33 are great boats, but older boats. as older boats they do have issues, like 20 plus year old equipment.
lots of boats qualify so keep looking, and welcome to sailnet
Welcome to Sailnet!
Rather than recommend any specific boats, or even comment on the Hunter 33, my best suggestion would be to go ahead with your good plan to take classes and build experience. At this point, it's somewhat premature to be picking out boats. As your experience grows, you will more than likely develop some strong preferences for, or at least biases against, certain kinds of boats.
It's too soon to narrow in on that Hunter 33 based on price alone. There are literally dozens and dozens of boat models that fall in your price range that are capable of coastal cruising and hopping out to the Bahamas (sailing down to the Carribbean is a fair bit more involved).
|I wouldn't be happy on a boat without a backstay off-shore; but that's just me.
Safe boats for the Caribbean?
First of all, I'm completely new to the sailing world. About the only experience I have with boats is sitting at a bar on a cruise ship and driving around a little pontoon boat on Lake Hartwell. However, the time I have spent out in the ocean has been incredible (and yes, I realize that owning and operating a sailboat would be nothing like my experiences at the cruise ship bar). It is rare that I find myself completely engrossed by one subject for such a long period of time. That being said, I am looking to eventually become a liveaboard, and I want a boat that is capable of cruising along the east coast (GA/FL coast) of the US, and down to the Caribbean. I've been looking mainly at the Hunter 33 and other similarly priced sailboats. I've read a couple of sources which said that using a Hunter for bluewater cruising would be a very bad idea. Do you guys agree? Money is definitely an issue for me, and I'm hoping to find a boat in the 30-40k price range which would be safe for sailing to the Caribbean. Any recommendations? I certainly intend to take classes to learn how to sail, because I realize that it would be very silly of me to just take off down to the Caribbean with no idea what I was doing. My apologies if this post is slightly messy in form.

Skin Cancer—Overview
Skin cancer is the growth of cancer cells that start in the skin.
The 2 most common kinds of skin cancer are:
- Basal cell carcinoma—Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. This cancer usually grows slowly and rarely spreads to other tissues in the body. Basal cell carcinoma is rarely fatal, but it can cause damage to the nearby tissue. If there is risk of damage, the cancer may need treatment or removal.
- Squamous cell carcinoma—Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common form of skin cancer. The cancer develops in the uppermost layer of skin cells. Squamous cell carcinoma usually grows slowly. It is rarely fatal if treated early. However, the cancer can be lethal if it spreads beyond the skin.
It is important that skin cancers be found and treated early. If left untreated, they can quickly invade and destroy nearby tissue.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Cancer occurs when skin cells in the body divide without control or order. When cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. Unlike benign tumors, malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
Risk Factors
Basal and squamous cell cancers are more common in men and in people over 50 years old. These cancers are most likely to occur in people with:
- Fair skin that freckles easily
- Red or blonde hair
- Light-colored eyes
- Caucasian skin
Other factors that may increase the chance of skin cancer include:
- Personal history of skin cancer
- Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or artificial radiation from a tanning bed
- Excessive sun exposure without protective clothing or sunscreen
- Skin damage from burns or infections
- Exposure to arsenic, industrial tar, coal, paraffin, and certain types of oil
- Radiation therapy
- Light treatments for psoriasis , especially psoralen ultraviolet A (PUVA)
- Suppressed immune system from illness or medications
- Certain genetic diseases, such as basal cell nevus syndrome or xeroderma pigmentosum
Most skin cancers do not cause symptoms. When they do appear, the most common first symptom is a change in the skin.
Basal cell carcinoma may appear as a:
- Slowly expanding, painless growth
- Bleeding scab or sore that heals and recurs
- Flat, firm, pale area
- Small, raised, pink, red, or pearly areas thay may bleed easily
- Large oozing, crusted area
Squamous cell carcinoma may appear as a:
- Growing lump with rough, scaly, or crusted surfaces
- Slow-growing flat, reddish patch in the skin
- Recurrent, nonhealing ulceration or bleeding
Skin cancers can occur anywhere, but are more common on places that are exposed to the sun.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
You may have a biopsy . The sample can then be examined for under a microscope for the presence of cancer cells.
In cases where the growth is large, or has been present for a long time, the lymph nodes in the area will be checked. More tests may be advised to determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
The doctor will discuss a treatment plan, which may include one or more of the following:
Many skin cancers can be cut from the skin quickly and easily. In fact, the cancer is sometimes completely removed during biopsy and no further treatment is needed. Surgical techniques include:
Simple Excision
A surgical knife is used to cut out the lesion.
Curettage and Electrodesiccation
This involves scooping the cancer out with a curette, an instrument with a sharp, spoon-shaped end. The area is treated with an electric current to control bleeding. This also kills any cancer cells remaining around the edge of the wound. This technique is used for small or superficial cancers.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is the removal of all of the cancerous tissue. The surgeon will try to remove as little healthy tissue as possible. This method is used to remove:
- Large tumors
- Tumors in hard-to-treat places
- Tumors of undetermined shape and depth
- Cancers that have recurred
The procedure is done by specially trained dermatologic Mohs surgeons. The cancer is shaved off one thin layer at a time. Each layer is checked under a microscope for cancer cells until the entire tumor is removed.
Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and kill the abnormal cells. After the area thaws, the dead tissue falls off. More than one freezing may be needed to remove the growth completely. This method may be used to treat precancerous skin conditions (actinic keratoses ) and certain small or superficial skin cancers.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses a narrow beam of light to remove or destroy cancer cells. This method is sometimes used for cancers in the outer layer of skin.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Topical Chemotherapy
Topical chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs can be creams or lotions. This method is successful in treating precancerous conditions and cancers limited to the outer layer of the skin. The most common topical chemotherapy used is a form of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
Medications, such as imiquimod, increase your body's own response to fight the cancer cells.
To help reduce the chance of skin cancer:
- Avoid spending too much time in the sun.
- Avoid exposing your skin to the sun between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM standard time, or 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM daylight saving time.
- Protect your skin from the sun with clothing. Wear a shirt, sunglasses, and a hat with a broad brim.
- Use broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more on skin that will be exposed to the sun.
- Use a protective lip balm.
- Wear sunglasses with 99% or 100% UV absorption to protect your eyes.
- Do not use sun lamps or tanning booths.
Finding skin cancer early offers the best chance for a cure. In general:
- Report any skin changes or symptoms (listed above) when they appear, so they can be examined by a doctor.
- If you have fair skin, have your skin regularly checked by a doctor.
- Ask the doctor about regular skin screenings you can do at home.

Hi! I'm a 23 year old Canadian and am currently teaching English in Taiwan to children and adults. I'm wanting to teach English in Europe next but I'm looking for a shorter contract this time. Are there contracts shorter then 1 year? I'm looking for 3 - 6 month contracts. Since I'm Canadian, I can obtain a Working Holiday Visa easily for Sweden, Germany, Holland and France. Does anyone know if Canadians can work in other European countries? I would love to work in Spain, Italy, Greece or Czech Republic!
Any info would be great.

Just thought I would check here before I dropped that much coin on a relatively new ebay member. Also, their profile shows that they have only been a member since Nov. 30 of '08, but I could swear that I have been watching auctions for this same helmet for alot longer than that, and I can't find any record of a previous user name. Here's a pic of that helmet.

Memories of Bedruthan Steps
For My Mom, A Queen In Her Own Right
September 2012 my three adult children and some extended family travelled to the Bedruthan Steps with my dear mother's ashes. We walked the beach for a long while before deciding on a special place to scatter them. It was at the Queen Bess Rock we chose, not knowing the name of the particular rock. A very beautiful and fitting place for such a special day.

The Canisius baseball team scored 29 runs and swept a doubleheader at Norfolk State on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Griffins won 17-5 and 12-1 to improve to 8-3, extending their winning streak to six games. Canisius has a winning streak of at least five games for the 16th time since 2008 and for the seventh consecutive season.
Game 1 Canisius 17, Norfolk State 5
Canisius jumped on the board quickly, with two runs in the top of the first. Sophomore Anthony Massicci led off with a double, senior Ryan Coppinger followed with an RBI triple and junior Jesse Puscheck scored Coppinger with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0. The Spartans came right back and tied the game with two runs in the bottom half of the inning.
The Griffs broke the game open in the fifth, scoring eight runs. Canisius loaded the bases with nobody out as sophomore Brett Siddall led off with a single, followed by back-to-back bunt singles from freshman Jake Lumley and senior Jesse Kelso. Massicci scored two runs with an RBI single and an intentional walk to Puscheck loaded the bases. Luppens cleared the bases with a double to put the Griffs up by five runs. After a walk to junior Connor Panas, Siddall singled through the right side to score Luppens with Panas scoring on a mis-played through. An RBI single from Lumley closed out the scoring and put the Griffs up 10-2.
Puscheck picked up another RBI in the sixth on a groundout that scored senior Ronnie Bernick while Luppens had his fourth RBI of the day on a double that scored Coppinger.
Sophomore Alex Godzak (2-1) won his second consecutive start, allowing three runs (one earned) in six innings while striking out two. Freshman Zachary Trumpler allowed one run in two innings of relief while junior Tyler Vavra allowed a run in one inning of work.
Luppens went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and five RBI. Siddall was 3-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI. Massicci was 4-for-6 with three runs scored and two RBI.
Canisius 12, Norfolk State 1
Canisius carried over its offensive to the second game of the day, scoring five runs in the first inning and featuring a RBI double from Siddall and two-RBI single from senior Jose Torralba. Canisius added three more runs in the third, which featured another two-RBI single from Torralba. In the fourth, Luppens had an RBI single and Puscheck scored on a wild pitch. The Griffs pushed across two more runs in the sixth on a two-RBI single from senior Shane Zimmer to put Canisius ahead 12-1.
Junior Rohn Pierce (3-0) went six innings, allowing one run on six hits, walking zero and striking out a career-high eight. Senior Tyler Soucie threw a scoreless seventh inning and struck out two batters.
Torralba went 2-for-4 with four RBI while Luppens was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI. Puscheck was 3-for-4 with three runs scored and Massicci went 2-for-4 with three runs scored.
Canisius and Norfolk State will complete the four-game series on Monday, with first pitch for the doubleheader set for 11 a.m.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 6
i still owe mine to people, but don't think i ever received all of mine either. did some people drop out or are they running as late as i am? haha. i believe i received zines from jethro, rebekah, anna, christine, misti, lynn, kelley and ladypajama. mine are going out monday hopefully!
Oh, this one was mine, actually! Glad you liked it. :)Bird in a Hand's Ornaments one is a hoot. It reminded me of the first Christmas that my daughter was somewhat sentient. She didn't quite get the tree thing, or maybe she did, and she hung all sorts of odd things on it, a can opener, my car keys, any of her toys that had hanging loops - like rattles and stuff. Basically she went through the house and found anything that could be hung. It was hilarious. This year I bought a bunch of fun foam monsters from a zinester, and we have them on our tree. I say "have" because I haven't gotten around to taking it down yet.

Book a flight to Glasgow with Qatar Airways and you'll be visiting a city that was recently voted the friendliest in the world. This is a city of stupendous architecture and the buildings are virtually an attraction in themselves, with many offering a glimpse into Glasgow's Victorian past.
Culturally, Glasgow is rich and vibrant, with artistic displays and exhibitions almost everywhere you turn. It's this positive attitude that earned the city the title of European City of Culture in 1990 and made it the host of the Commonwealth Games in 2014.
With world-class shopping and internationally-acclaimed restaurants, a trip to Glasgow will bring you one step closer to enjoying an exceptional holiday.
Because Glasgow is a compact city it makes it remarkably easy to get around, giving you the opportunity to explore all the attractions that you want to on foot. For a peek into Glasgow's history, pay a visit to the Tall Ship. Built as a cargo vessel, it has sailed around the world four times, before coming to rest as an interactive exhibit that even has a cinema in the cargo hold.
If you've got a sports fan in your party then your trip to Glasgow ought to incorporate a day at the Hampden Experience. Here, you can explore Scottish footballing history and take a tour of the legendary football stadium. If you're feeling energetic, you can even have the speed of your scoring shot measured, using the latest in footballing technology.
While Glasgow might be a beautiful, thriving city, it does have a much humbler past. To see how life was for its citizens in the early 20th Century, hunt out the Tenement House and get a taste of the ancient way of life in this historical city.
With the arts at the forefront of its culture, travelling to Glasgow is a great way to immerse yourself in the city's identity. While entertainment takes many forms today, you can see just how the Glaswegians of the past spent their leisure time, with a visit to the Britannia Panopticon – the UK's oldest surviving music hall. Among its many claims to fame, this stunning building is where Stan Laurel made his début.
If you'd like to see theatre in action, then book tickets for a show at the Tron Theatre. Set in an imperious building, the theatre stages some of the city's most exciting productions, reworking old classics and putting shows written by new and emerging writers.
Those travelling to Glasgow with children should take the time to visit the Glasgow Science Centre. Engaging and educational, younger visitors can enjoy a number of hands-on activities, such as building their own inventions or popping into the past in one of the world's best planetariums.
If you've decided to travel to Glasgow with food in mind, then you'll be visiting one of the UK's most creative culinary scenes. There are plenty of places to eat, from fast food outlets to fine dining experiences set in sumptuous surroundings. Scotland is well known for its superb seafood and you can enjoy fresh prawns, langoustines, crab and shellfish in most restaurants.
However, for a true taste of Scotland, seek out restaurants serving the national dish of haggis. Haggis looks like a large, round sausage and has an excellent nutty texture and a delicious flavor. Haggis is usually served with "tatties and neeps" (potatoes and turnips). It's an immensely savoury dish, but one that wins more fans than it loses.
A shopping trip to Glasgow is a must for anyone who enjoys a spot of retail therapy. There are over 1500 shops to explore, ranging from high-end, designer stores to flea markets and stalls.
If you're looking for some additions to your wardrobe, head for the area between Argyle Street to Sauchiehall Street. Known as 'the style mile', the area is packed with shops, featuring some of the best known designer labels.
For a more eclectic experience, the city's West End is where you'll find independent and craft shops, with plenty of vintage clothing stores.
When you book a flight to Glasgow with Qatar Airways you will travel on a Qatar Airways operated flight to London Heathrow and connect to Glasgow with our partner airlines.
Flights to Glasgow land at Glasgow Airport, about six miles north of the city.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Glasgow please check the visa and passport requirements.

I am super interested in seeing if I can track one of these jackets down. Does anyone here know what the actual brand was? I've heard it was a 1970's European racing jacket but other than that I can't find any more details on Google.
ALSO: I'm interested in any information on Han Solo's hooded jacket from Empire Strikes Back.

Welcome to the forum.
They're both great guns. What is this for? Carry? HD? Range?
The XD45 shoots extremely well, but bulky for carry IMO. I switched away from XDs because I personally like the Glock trigger more, but everyone is different. Shoot them all if you can before buying. I used to carry an XD9SC, but now carry a G36 (single-stack 45).
Good luck with your search.

Merrimack school resource officer receives Lifetime honor
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent | May 05. 2014 8:56PM
School Resource Officer Mike Murray of the Merrimack Police Department receives a Lifetime Achievement Award from the NH Police, Fire and EMS Foundation. Murray is joined by his girlfriend, Heather Gage. (Courtesy)
Officer Michael Murray recently received a Police Lifetime Achievement Award from the New Hampshire Police, Fire and EMS Foundation. Murray, the school resource officer at Merrimack High School, says he is honored and humbled by the recognition.
Police Chief Mark Doyle nominated Murray for the award, which was presented on April 23 at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester.
"Officer Murray has taken his role as the school resource officer and made it into something that students and teachers look up to. He is highly depended on to keep the peace and act as a guidance counselor all at the same time. He handles both with professionalism and compassion," according to the statement.
"I think you need the right personality for this job. You have to give respect to get it back," he said, admitting there is a fine line between a student and adult relationship. "You can't fake it with kids. They have to genuinely know that you want them to do well."
When Murray isn't working at the school, he is actively involved in the New Hampshire Special Olympics, raising money for the organization and organizing events such as the Law Enforcement Torch Run. He also assists with the Special Olympics in New Hampshire each winter and summer, and has been selected twice to represent the state internationally as an ambassador.
"In this career, you often deal with the sadder side of life, but the Special Olympics is the best police therapy there is," said Murray. "I definitely get more out of it than I put into it."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|pontiac owner
Spring for trusses, they save a lot of work, time, and are stronger than site built rafters. Be sure to tell the guy you are ordering from that you want to put a ceiling under them. If there is an option like 25 Lb per sq. ft, vs 30 lb/sq ft, go for the heavy ones, the difference is only a couple bucks each, I do mean like $2 or $3.
When you put the decking on, use twist shank nails--they just plain do not back out--period. A tornado came and lifted my roof off in one piece. Hired a crane to come and put it back on after I built new walls.
Re: Wrong career
Don't forget advertising ( I pay 700+/mth) Insurance ( $107/mth) vehicle costs, office expenses, workmans comp ( I have paid up to $12.60/hr for each hour an employee works ) .
You can make a good living but it is not free $$.
The last garage that I built of my own took 30 days from the day I got the permit until the final inspection. That was including the electric, and all done by myself, except that I had a friend help me put the last sheet of plywood on the roof.
I have someone lined up to do the concrete for me. He says that it will be 2 to 3 weeks before he can do it, but the temp has to be aleast 34 deg. I had hoped to have this done before now to avoid the temp problems.
They have made a few changes to the building codes in the last few years. Mainly in the area of storm strengthening, like anchor bolts and nailing sheeting. Nothing to justify the high costs that the contractors are quoting. Once the concrete work is done, it should take me about 2-3 days to get it weather tight, except for the shingles. I have a brother that said that he would take care of them.
If I was about 20 years younger, I would start a business building garages. I could build them for 1/2 the cost that these people are quoting and still make big bucks.
That is the exact reason why I worked construction building new high end houses...I wanted to learn how to build correctly. Anyone can build something, but to do it right is another story. I added an addition onto the back of my house 3 years ago, it took me a couple of hours to frame, sheet and stand the walls. I had the entire room enclosed and under roof within 2 days.
I would say that after the concrete work is done, I could have a garage built in less than a week. There is a lot of hints,tips, and shortcuts to make building easier on yourself.
If you need any help or pointers, shoot me a PM and I will do the best that I can to help out.
On a side note, you are pretty lucky to even get a contractor to actually show up to give you an estimate. Most of the time they either A) don't even show up for the estimate or B) give you an estimate but never show to do the work or C) Price gouge, do shoddy work and take about 10x longer to finish than what they say.
I would looooove to get into a business of my own building garages and sheds only. If I could figure out how to go about starting it, I'd be in like Flynn.
Isn't it a shame what has happened to this country? When I had my 40 x 60, 14 ft to the eves shop built in the mid '80's it cost $13,800, including the concrete.
Well.... I got 2 more prices today. One guy only told me it would be mid-teens, minimum. The other guy told me that it would be cheaper to biuld a separate building. He wants $14400 for a 16X24 separate building. He said it would be considerably more if it was attached. He was from a company that specializes in garages. They used to be one of the biggest garage builders in the area, and had really reasonable prices. He told me to shop around, and he would be waiting for my call. I guess since they are all so busy from the huricane a year ago, they can charge what they want.
I also talked to my brother today.He said that if I get the concrete done, and do the rest, he would get someone to help him do the roof.
I will have my addition for considerable less than they want to do it!
Have a party
I'm sure you have to know some people that have some carpenter skills. Get them all together to give you a hand, afterwards fire up the BBQ, grab a keg, feed them and drink beer. I have done this a few times and also helped others that had helped me. I did it when I set grade on the driveway, we had a paving party(driveway is 1/4 mile long and 14 foot wide, and is nice I work for a paving company!!). $23,000 sounds awefully steep.

Re: Wrong career
He thought the $60/hr I charge for computer repair was way too high though.
Well.... I'm going to try to get some plans drawn up, and check on a permit. I am not sure, but know that there is a limit on how long the rafters can be if they are 2X4. The trusses are allowed to be 2x4 if they are pre-fabbed, but the others may have to be 2X6 for the first 1 or 2. My brother built a garage a while back, and used trusses. The people he got them told him to call when he was ready for them. They delivered them and put them on top of the walls for him, since they had a crane on the truck that delivered them. I watched the guy cut the rafters for the addition on my house a few years ago. He ripped thru them like he was cutting straight cuts. I guess when you do them all of the time, they get easy to figure out. Since I'll only have 10 of them to cut, total, It won't really kill me if I screw up one or 2, specially since they get shorter as you go along.
All I can say is that the building boom will end someday, and these people will wish they had given a reasonable price for this job. I'm just not used to being willing to spend money, and not being able to find someone to take it.
Concrete is a pain and a lot of work but you can save money. Set all of the forms yourself and have it ready to pour. I did a 20X80 driveway to a 24X24 slab and when I had it ready I drove around and found some guys working a slab in the area. I asked if he would do the pour he looked at the job and said $300 bucks for all the labor. I negociated my slab price on my own to get the best deal. I ended up saving over 50% on the deal had I had someone do it all.
Also the price for an unfinnished garage is way to high. If you know what you are doing then call the unemployment office and have them send you laborers and let them do the heavy lifting for a few hours at min wage then send them home.
|It's got to be quite a bit cheaper to run the project yourself and just sub out the stuff that you can't handle. I could have done the concrete work but it's just too labor intensive for me at this point so I just sub'ed it. There is a crane that has been sitting idle for several weeks at a house und er construction only a couple of blocks from me. I'm going to offer them some fast cash if I can drive it 2 blocks and set trusses for an hour.
|I guess this weekend, I will be going and checking prices on materials. I don't do concrete work, but have someone that I am sure I can have do that. I can't physically do the roofing because of back problems. I have a brother-in-law that needs money, so I can probably get him to do that. I'll just have to tell him how to do it. I can get the shell up in a weekend, and the sideing the next weekend by myself. I have personally built 2 26' X 22' barn type garages, single handed. I also designed a garage for a friend, and helped him build it. It does take alittle longer working by myself, but I don't have to waste time telling someone else how to do things the way I want them. The only concern that I have is doing the framing on the roof. I figure on getting the pre-fab trusses, but have to connect to the original roof at 90 degrees, and have never done that. The rest is a piece of cake.

'"I watched Lindy's press conference after the game, and it's as down as I've seen him in a long, long time," Playfair said Wednesday night in First Niagara Center during a Junior Sabres game. "I don't typically do it, but this morning I watched it again on Sabres.com. You can just see he's tried everything he can try and the guys aren't responding. If he's out of answers, I look at it as maybe my friend Lindy Ruff gets a break now."'

Top 10 Characteristics of Active Physicians in the U.S., 2013
The face of medicine in the United States is changing across the board. However, the majority of these changes are affecting
. Not only are the patient demographics and the new health care act changing the way that doctors deal with patients, but some
trends in the medical field
are also directly affecting doctors and patients. Although many of these changes are negatively affecting practicing physicians, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics
job opportunities
to increase for physicians from now until the year 2018. Here are some additional trends that are shaping today's medical community.
1. The majority of physicians are men
Approximately 71 percent of the active physician population in the United States are men. This number is expected to increase as there are currently 59,403 male residents awaiting certification. This number accounts for 55.4 percent of the current resident population.
2. Most physicians are under the age of 54
Not only is there an alarming number of men becoming active physicians, but the current trend is that most of them are under the age of 54. According to the
latest statistics
published by Hospitals and Health Networks, over 62.4 percent of physicians are 54 and younger while 37.6 percent are older than 55.
3. More physicians have graduated from U.S. medical universities
The latest trend indicates that international medical school graduates working in the U.S. is on the decline. In fact, the majority of current medical students and physician graduates have attended U.S. medical universities. Over 69 percent of the active physicians in the United States have attended U.S. medical universities while only 24 percent are international medical graduates.
4. The majority of physicians are white
The latest trend indicates that the majority of active physicians in the United States are white American. They make up for 55.8 percent of the active physician population while Asians make up 12 percent, Hispanics make up 5 percent, African Americans make up 3.5 percent, other makes up 1.4 percent, and American Indian Alaskan Natives make up 0.02 percent.
5. More doctors are taking up Internal Medicine
The latest trends indicate that the majority of active physicians are practicing in
internal medicine
family medicine
. Of the over 104,904 active physicians practicing in the U.S, 67.8 percent of men and 32.3 percent of women are actively working in internal medicine.
6. Doctors are ditching private practices and are going back to hospital positions
While the majority of physicians are interested in practicing, rising administrative costs and malpractice insurance have caused many physicians to go back to
hospital employment
. The latest trend among active physicians indicate that the majority are going for the integrated salary model.
7. The cost of opening a private practice has increased
As Medicare costs continue to decline, the cost of medical care and running a practice continue to increase. This has caused physicians to not only go back to hospital work, but it has caused the number of private practices to steadily decline, which is a worrying trend in the healthcare industry. Declining private facilities directly impact the flexibility of active physicians and the health of the population.
8. Declining Reimbursement
Changes in healthcare reform has affected the delivery of care from physicians. Many factors affect the way that physicians do their jobs, but patients' attitudes towards healthcare was a major contributor to poor delivery of healthcare. Patients that lack proper health insurance may feel that they aren't going to receive fair treatment, so they often let small health ailments become chronic ones before seeking help. However, current stats indicate that patients' poor attitudes towards healthcare has decreased by 8.2 percent, which improves the way that doctors delivery care. This has lead to a 19.4 percent increase in primary care physicians.
9. Unable to Provide Staff Raises
Changes in reimbursement have caused private practice physicians to lose the ability to provide raises for their staff. In fact, almost 40 percent are unable to give raises while 35 percent are unable to obtain necessary medical equipment for their private practice.
10. Choose a different practice
A worrying trend has revealed that the majority of physicians are not happy in the practice they're in. Physicians were asked if they had to do it all over again what would they choose to be in their current field of medicine, 41 percent chose to go with a diagnostic specialty while 27 percent chose not to be a physician at all. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that physicians are expected to work, long, irregular and overnight hours; this may lead to dissatisfaction with their work.

Guest blogger Scott Harvey of Scott Harvey Wines returns - to ask wooters what they'd like to see in the blend for his upcoming 2007 InZinerator. Anybody who offers constructive input is hereby allowed to list "Wine Consultant" on his or her resume.
Want to thank the woot community for a wonderful 2009. As we come to the end of 2009 we are coming to the end of the 2006 InZinerator and need to produce a new 2007 vintage bottling. Since the wooters are the biggest InZinerator imbibers, I figure you should have the most input for the next blend. There was a big difference between the last two vintages. The 2004 was made in a drier style at about 1% residual sugar. Very similar to the original Menage a Trois blend when I created it back in 2002. The 2006 was made more to be like the Rombauer El Dorado Country Zinfandel at 2% residual sugar.
Both styles have their place and their following, but it's time to stick with one style and build on it. The blend will be based on Zinfandel, Syrah and one other variety. Not sure which one yet until I get into the lab and start putting it together. The Zinfandel gives you the up front fruit and the broad base of the wine while the Syrah adds tannin and center structure. The third component is always the wild card. After the Zinfandel and Syrah are put together then I'll experiment with a number of varieties to find the one that best ties the other two together into a full and complete wine. Then comes the part where you come in, the final decision on residual sugar. More like the original Menage a Trois at about 1% or like the Rombauer Zinfandel at about 2%. Now that you've had them both it would be great to hear your preferences.
After the wine is put together, then we have to decide on the label. The 2004 InZinerator came with three front labels all in the same case. We named them 1-Batman, 2-Hero on the Mountain, 3-Superman. We had a tremendous out cry from the distributors and retailers complaining that it was to confusing. We also wanted to introduce a female super hero label, so on the 2006 bottling we put just one label which we call the 4-Femknight. For the next 2007 vintage bottling we can use one of these 4 labels or a mix of them or maybe a new label with just the Z from InZinerator on the front. The back label always stays the same and is really what the TTB approves as the main label. What label or labels would you like to see on the new 2007 Vintage?

I love these things. As an avid geocacher I like to leave nice loot in any cache that has room for trade goods. A couple of years ago while looking for little compasses to incorporate into walking sticks I saw this listing for Small Elegant Pocket Compass. At first I thought the price was a bit outrageous, but that was before I realized the price was for a pack of 50! Wow. A very remarkable bargain. I've re-ordered a few times now and I must have given away hundreds of these things. For a short time they were not available, which was kind of freaking me out as I have heard from any number of geocachers what a kick the kids get out of finding these in the caches, and didn't want to let people down. Now they're back, so I ordered three boxes (a total of 150 of them). These things are solid but light weight. Out of the hundreds I've passed along I've only had one that was a dud. They're actually made of metal, probably tin, so they're impressive and accurate give the non-ferrous construction. The needle is well balanced and has a phosfur spot that glows nicely if you hit it with a flashlight on a night hike. The ring with degree markings is raised above the compass rose for a cool 3-D effect. Each one comes in it's own little baggie so they don't get dinged up. I'd doubt anyone is going to put one on a lanyard, but hey, the little ring thing above North is cool looking and sturdy enough that you could wear one around your neck if you wanted to. They really do work. Hell, I'm going to order up one more box of 50 just in case they get discontinued again.

The little compasses work just great, They arrived just one day late for a meeting I wanted to use them at but ...My fault, I should have ordered earlier due to the Holiday rush and all. great little items, Thanks

Forget the name...should be "Really cheap simple compass that works with young students who know nothing about compasses". Can't be the price; great in the classroom. Forget using it outdoors.

I ordered up a batch of 50 of these to use as trade items in the game of geocaching. Frankly, I was prepared to get a box of total crap compasses. These turned out to be surprisingly sturdy and considerably bigger than expected. (About the size of a silver dollar) Also, each one is sealed in its own baggie, so I can carry several in my swag bag without them getting dinged up. The compass rose as well as the outer degree dial are crisply printed in a classic boyscout compass style. Would I try to orienteer through the Smokies with it? No. I have an expensive military lensatic compass for that kind of stuff. Are people (especially kids) tickled to find something this cool in a geocache? Yes, definitely. (And if you get right down to it, I bet I could use this thing along with a decent topo map to figure out where I am in a pinch.) I'll be ordering another batch of these when I start running low. I am very satisfied with the "bang for the buck" factor on this item, and the prompt delivery didn't hurt, either.Addendum: I'm now on my third batch of these things. I've looked around the internet but have not found a better quality compass for the money. At the time I purchased these they were a little less than $40 for 50 units. They're actually pretty darn accurate. I typically leave them as geocaching trade items. I recently conducted an intro to orienteering event in the Hoosier National forest. I made up around twenty laminated topo maps, and taped one of these (in the little baggies) to each map. Every participant was able to accurately hit the waypoints using the maps and these compasses. After this third batch is gone I'm sure I'll be getting a fourth.Thanks for a really decent product at a very reasonable price!

This item is perfect for my girlscout troop, for our hikes, and our overnights, and for locating coordinates for sky star gazing. The Compass was bigger and sturdier than I expected and it really works. Tip I learned: if the needle sticks on a compass just rub a drop of water over the glass top and it will eliminate any static that is causing the needle to stick. I would deffinately purchase this product again.

I bought sixteen of these for my classroom. They're great because they're accurate AND inexpensive. $0.99 each and the kids get some hands on learning about directions, magnets, maps, etc. I'm really happy with them.

With junior starting point guard Jermaine Ruttley hospitalized in Louisville and likely done for the season, the North Hardin Trojans plan on using a by-committee approach to handling the ball.
Whether senior Trevino Coney keeps the job or the Trojans continue with a divide-and-conquer tactic, this much is certain – get the ball to Jordan Brangers.
The sophomore shooting guard scored a career-high 30 points, mostly on assists from Coney, and the Trojans opened the season with a103-66 win Friday against visiting 17th District rival Fort Knox.
Coney found Brangers early and often on the left wing as Brangers buried three of his eight 3-pointers in the opening 3 minutes.
"When I caught the ball, they were leaving me open. And if I'm open, I'm going to shoot," said Brangers, who scored his team's first 13 points.
Brangers sat the final 4 minutes of the first quarter after picking up his second foul. He had a hard time getting back in a groove in the second quarter, missing his first three attempts from the arc.
He soon regained his touch, knocking down 5-of-7 shots from the arc in the final 6:32 of the half as the Trojans (1-0 overall, 1-0 district) cruised into the break with a 53-31 lead.
"I realized early on he was in a zone and that's why I kept getting him the ball. He was definitely in a rhythm tonight and it seemed like everything he took was going in," said Coney, who just missed a triple-double with 13 points, nine assists and nine rebounds.
Brangers and Coney weren't the only players to torment the smaller Eagles.
Jauan Akins, the Trojans' new 6-foot-5 junior wing, had 21 points, five rebounds and two blocks. He scored 13 points in the third quarter as the Eagles, his former team, chose to focus defensively more on Brangers instead of their ex-teammate.
"I had to take advantage with them keep talking mess to me," Akins said.
Senior forward Chris Sterusky nearly notched a double-double with 14 rebounds and nine points. Junior Adam Hendrix, who was mostly a reserve post player last year behind Area Player of the Year Roosevelt Emerson, added 19 points and a game-high 15 rebounds for the Trojans.
North Hardin won its 30th consecutive game in the gym named for its coach, Ron Bevars, who moved within 14 wins to tie Clay County legend Bobby Keith as the Kentucky Basketball Coaches' Association's all-time varsity wins leader.
"Everyone on this team can score and we can all make plays," Coney said. "But we still have a lot of work to do to get where we want to be."
As does Fort Knox (1-2, 0-1), which lost its 36th consecutive district game and remains winless against the Trojans in Radcliff since 1992.
Fort Knox, playing without ill senior guard Gadiel Mendez, only had one starter (senior London Moore, who played point guard most of the night) taller than 5-11, while the Trojans countered with a lineup with only one starter (Coney) shorter than 6-1. The Trojans' overwhelming size showed as North Hardin outrebounded the Eagles 69-35 and scored 25 points off 34 offensive rebounds.
Moore and senior guard Brandon Cullum scored 21 points each for Fort Knox, which is winless in its last eight meetings with the Trojans since Jan. 12, 2007. Moore added seven rebounds and a game-high five blocks. Senior guard Jermell Rogers overcame a rough night from the field (2-of-11) to finish with 10 points and a team-high three assists.
Like Coney, Akins said the Trojans should be pleased but not satisfied as they matched their school record with 90 field-goal attempts – missing 50 – committed 20 fouls and had four players with multiple turnovers.
"We had a few unnecessary fouls and turnovers and we don't need that. And if we're going to win the region (tournament), we can't have that," Akins said.
Winning the region, which the Trojans did last year, could be more difficult while the Trojans' minds are with Ruttley, who broke his leg in two places in a scrimmage. Since the surgery, Bevars said Ruttley has had kidney problems.
Bevars said he hoped Ruttley could be taken off dialysis this weekend while he recuperates at Norton Hospital.
"We're optimistic. He's got good people working on him and he's in a great place to be," Bevars said. "I hate it for Jermaine because he's the hardest-working young man that I've ever coached, bar none. This game is very important to him."
UP NEXT: North Hardin hosts Glasgow at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Fort Knox plays at district rival John Hardin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Don't worry, we didn't forget about the bridesmaids! At last week's Chicago Bridal Market, we spotted the latest bridesmaid dress trends – look out for these dress styles at a boutique near you.
Sleeves Kate Middleton's wedding dress helped kick off the sleeve trend last season, but we had yet to see many bridesmaid styles that featured arm coverage. Happily, designers seem to be getting the hint and provided several styles with sleeves.
Lace Lace wedding dresses have been a mainstay, well, forever. But we're finally seeing this feminine fabrication transition over to bridesmaid dresses. Whether it's adorning the bodice, skirt, or the whole shebang, we're glad to see lace in this context.
One-Shoulder Sheaths Looking for a style that all of your bridesmaids can wear? Loose-fitting, one-shoulder sheath dresses were all over the runways – and they're the rare type of dress that can work on most body types (and they look really comfortable, too!). To add a little shape, add a fun belt to cinch in the waist.
Check back tomorrow for our favorite dresses from Chicago Bridal Market!

The low point of the Billy Wright era arrived when his Arsenal team faced Leeds United in the final home league game of the 1965/1966 season.
Only 4,554, Arsenal's record lowest home attendance, turned up. Youth team graduates including John Radford, George Armstrong, and Peter Storey were breaking into the first team, but Arsenal were struggling badly, and finished just four points outside relegation. Something needed to be done, urgently. With the country still wallowing in World Cup winning bliss, Wright and his star performer George Eastham (who signed for Stoke City) had both departed Highbury.
On June 20, 1966, Arsenal's physiotherapist and trainer Bertie Mee took over as acting manager in place of Wright. Arsenal players including Frank McLintock admitted they felt fairly underwhelmed by Mee's elevation to the top job, but during his first season in charge, the Gunners finished a creditable seventh in the league, and more stars of Arsenal's future, including Bob McNab and George Graham arrived from Huddersfield and Chelsea respectively.
Mee was able to start fusing his new signings with the emerging youngsters, which now also included Peter Simpson. Goalkeeper Bob Wilson, still battling with Jim Furnell to make the number one position his own, explained: "Bertie could be pompous at times. But as players, we still respected him. He would remind us that we were playing for a club which demanded and expected the best, and we rose to the challenge."
Frank McLintock recalled: "Bertie wasn't great at coaching. But he was forward thinking, in appointing top coaches like Dave Sexton and Don Howe and allowed them to get on with the job."
In the late '60s, after a 16 year absence, Mee finally led the Gunners back to Wembley, and two League Cup Finals. The Gunners lost both games, but the lessons learned by Mee and his team were invaluable. The final against Leeds in 1968 was dour and dirty. Leeds won their first trophy of the Revie era, in a physical encounter which often threatened to boil over, courtesy of Terry Cooper's disputed volley.
Jack Charlton and Norman Hunter jostled and barged Furnell, impeding his vision and attempting to knock him off balance, as Cooper took aim and fired his shot into the top corner of the net.
Arsenal's midfield enforcer Peter Storey noticed how the Yorkshire side put "contacts" out on the opposition, and successfully gave as good as he got throughout the match. Bertie Mee realised that if the Club were to be successful, a backbone of steel was required.
A year later, Arsenal were back to face Swindon. The Gunners were hot favourites to land the trophy against a team two layers beneath them in the league pyramid, but for all sorts of reasons, including a diabolical playing surface, and a flu bug which had swept through the squad, this wouldn't be their day.
Initially, Arsenal began brightly, and had chance after chance, but Town's 'keeper Peter Downsborough made some brilliant stops. The Wiltshire side took the lead after a mix up between 'keeper Bob Wilson and defender Ian Ure. As time ticked on, Arsenal grew wearier, but with just four minutes of full time left, Bobby Gould touched home to equalise. It still wasn't meant to be, and Swindon's Don Rogers scored twice in extra time to win it for the Third Division side.
The initial reaction from the players was one of total shock. Skipper Frank McLintock remained inconsolable for several days, and his mood was hardly improved when the next day, one newspaper headline read: "Arsenal, The Shame Of London."
He later recalled: "The team could have easily lost heart and declined after losing that final. Bertie and Don could have decided enough was enough, and sold off many of the players from that losing team. But instead, we regrouped, and vowed that never, ever again, would we read headlines like 'The Shame of London.'"
The core of the squad remained intact, and after finishing a promising fourth in 1969, could at least look forward to playing in the Fairs Cup. After disposing of Glentoran, Sporting Lisbon, FC Rouen and Dinamo Bacau in earlier rounds, they made headlines by thrashing Ajax 3-0 at Highbury in the first leg of the semi final, and losing by just a single goal in the return.
Arsenal now faced crack Belgian outfit Anderlecht in a two legged final. Seventeen painfully long years had passed since Arsenal lifted a trophy, and in front of a hostile Belgian crowd, who whistled every time an Arsenal player touched the ball, the Gunners were destroyed by Dutch star Jan Mulder during the first leg. "He taught us a new kind of football that night," confessed George Armstrong. "We learnt that if you gave guys like that too much room in games, they'd kill you." Anderlecht won 3-1, after Kennedy's late header gave the team – in the Daily Mirror's words – a "Ray Of Hope" for the second leg. But that was about all.
A week later, 57,000 roaring fans flocked to the return leg, in what turned out to be arguably the greatest Highbury night of them all. Arsenal exploded into life on the half hour mark. From a Sammels pass, Eddie Kelly sidestepped his marker, and smashed an unstoppable shot past Anderlecht keeper Jean-Marie Trappeniers. In the 17th minute, the crowd's non stop chanting finally paid dividends as a mud splattered John Radford headed in a George Armstrong cross. Two minutes later, Jon Sammels blasted home a third to bring Arsenal to within touching distance of the trophy. The referee blew his whistle after four minutes of injury time. Arsenal had landed their first trophy since 1953.
The scenes in the aftermath were astounding. For Bob Wilson, the memories of that evening remain as fresh as ever: "The final whistle brought an outpouring – a release. All that pent up frustration in the fans and players was gone in flash. If you think about some of the older members of the crowd, they had seen the great sides of the '30s and '40s, and finally the slumbering giant had awoken. All the crowd – it seemed – came over the barriers at the final whistle, and the police knew that it was a friendly pitch invasion. So they turned a blind eye. I was determined to do the lap of hour, because it had been such a journey, and we were all so fed up with being runners up. We believed this could be the start of something massive for Arsenal."
So it proved. The 1970-71 season would prove to be one of the most dramatic and remarkable in the Gunners' history.
- Frank McLintock's geeing up of the Highbury crowd during the Fairs Cup Final was described by George Armstrong as "...maybe the most decisive intervention by any Arsenal captain."
- Charlie George's masterful performance against Ajax at Highbury in the Fairs Cup Semi Final prompted a young Johann Cruyff to describe him as "...a world star of the future."
- Jon Sammels described the moment he scored the third goal of the Fairs Cup Final as "...mind blowing. A surge of electricity went right through me."
