The holidays can be a hectic time, but there are a number of things to remember whether you plan to travel or stay closer to home.
If you do decide to get on the road, you should know that you will not be alone. According to AAA Carolinas, Thanksgiving travel volume in North Carolina is expected to increase 1 percent this year, due in part to the dramatic drop in gas prices.
A total of 1,260,500 North Carolinians are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home, the report said. About 1,134,000 or 90 percent of those will drive, an increase of about 11,000 travelers over last year, AAA said. Holiday travel, which traditionally begins today and runs through Sunday is considered one of the most dangerous because of its four-day length and the congestion caused by the highway vacationers.
"Thanksgiving is the most traditional family holiday with the 'turkey day' always coming on a Thursday, creating a guaranteed four-day holiday for many," said David E. Parsons, president of AAA Carolinas. "The lower price at the pump will encourage more people to drive this Thanksgiving."
Gas prices in North Carolina have dropped significantly in the past two months. The statewide average was $3.31 on Tuesday, down 54 cents since peaking in mid-September at $3.85. North Carolinians are paying four cents less at the pump compared to last Thanksgiving, when they paid $3.35.
North Carolina motorists can expect to see lower gas prices in the bordering states of South Carolina ($3.13), Virginia ($3.24), Tennessee ($3.16) and Georgia ($3.26).
Home for the holidays
Those planning to stay home need to remember another set of holiday safety tips, according to State Fire Marshal Wayne Goodwin.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home fires involving cooking equipment.
Godwin's office strongly discourages the use of outdoor gas-fueled turkey fryers that immerse the turkey in hot oil. These turkey fryers use a substantial quantity of cooking oil at high temperatures, and units currently available for home use pose a significant danger that hot oil will be released at some point during the cooking process. The use of turkey fryers by consumers can lead to devastating burns, other injuries and the destruction of property, he said.
"With so much going on, I want to make sure that families take precautions to make the holiday a happy one," said Goodwin. "One way to do that is to keep some safety tips in mind while preparing that big Thanksgiving meal."
Helpful hints

Milestone Documents added to CSU's Affordable Learning Solutions "Rent Digital" Campaign for Fall 2013
DALLAS, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The California State University (CSU) system has selected Schlager Group's innovative digital classroom resource Milestone Documents for its Affordable Learning Solutions "Rent Digital" campaign for Fall 2013. Affordable Learning Solutions enables faculty to choose quality educational content that is more affordable for their students. Milestone Documents integrates primary documents, robust analyses, a unique textbook layer, and powerful pedagogical support for introductory and advanced courses in history and related disciplines. Access will be discounted for CSU students whose professors adopt Milestone Documents for their courses.
"Milestone Documents reimagines the textbook in a form that's more flexible for professors and less expensive for students, without sacrificing quality," said Neil Schlager, founder and president of Milestone Documents. "Our service mixes content and context in a digital format that allows teachers to have better control over their course structure and materials. The content is constantly expanding, and all of it is curated and guided by subject experts in the various disciplines that we cover-History, American Studies, and Religious Studies. We are thrilled to participate in the CSU program, which we think will serve as a model for other university systems around the country as they work to provide lower-cost, more-convenient course materials for their students."
Milestone Documents offers two editions for adopting professors. The Standard Edition includes a foundation of more than 1,300 key primary sources, accompanied by comprehensive analyses written by a global network of scholars. Each content area is led by an Editor in Chief -- a scholar and educator who curates the document coverage and oversees the development of pedagogical materials such as model outlines, recommended documents, lecture notes, and assessments.
The Premium Edition, which was unveiled at the American Historical Association conference in January, includes an optional textbook layer of peer-reviewed narrative articles for introductory and survey courses in U.S. history, world history, and Western civilization. The textbook layer aligns with model outlines created by the Editor in Chief for each subject area.
Both editions have the hallmark Milestone Documents features. These include the ability for professors to customize their class readings list and to change it at any time. In addition, the service offers student analytics that help professors understand how students are progressing through the assigned readings and which students are the most active and engaged at the site. Students can highlight, take notes, and star their favorite readings.
Among the Editors in Chief are Philip DiMare (California State University–Sacramento), Jonathan Rees (Colorado State University–Pueblo), Karen Linkletter (California State University–Fullerton), Joseph Stuart (University of Mary), Eric Cunningham (Gonzaga University), and Claudrena Harold (University of Virginia). Materials development is ongoing, and content will continually grow with new curated documents, textbook articles, and instructor support materials. Additional courses and Editors in Chief will be added in such areas as Asian history, Middle Eastern history, women's history, Latin American history, and American Southwest history.
While Milestone Documents has captured attention for its low student cost, its loyal following among educators has been sustained by its authoritative content, easy customization, and simple navigation. Philip DiMare of Cal State Sacramento, who serves as Editor in Chief of both U.S. History I and Comparative Religions, said he was initially drawn to the service for its "incredible range and depth" of primary source coverage but was excited to see it expand into a full-service option for instructors. "I'm thrilled to be a part of what I think is one of the most forward-thinking educational tools on the market."

Expecially, I was thinking about the concept of clear and objective journalistic information on one hand, and the easy possibility to retouch and to manipulate images, by photographers and journalists themselves on the other. According to this, and to the fact the modern society is characterized by the massive presence of images, is it possible to use a photograph as a news itself, or the image will be always influenced by the need of show?
yes photojournalism/photographs is intrestible when we are talking about news, i think news only can be only pictures when events are past known and also pictures remains historic and necessary to express past events i hope photojournalism will give view every person.
interesting question. yes and no but it is heavily based upon content.
we live in a day and age whereby people have access to everything and everyone is a photographer, a photo retoucher and so forth. the one main aspect that sperates real photography or journalism in this case, from the rest is the images technical ability to capture a moment/ the story in the perfect moment.
everyone clicks but the best real journalistic images embody everything; as the photographer was in the right place, at the right time and was sensitive to the subject at hand. but the image itself, depending one content is not enough in many situations due to the access many people have to manipulation tools. Filming is at times a more anchoring source to consolidate worthy journalistic news. but again, its based upon content.
Il fotogiornalismo secondo me e una cosa che non muore mai. Sempre un imagine puo restare indimenticabile nella nostra memoria, specialmente se quel tema rimane attuale. Nelle storie di miserie, drame, fame, ma anche nei momenti di grande gioia e l'imagine quello che trasmette le "5 famose domande W" del reporter. Fotogiornalismo dal mio parere e come i primi film di Clarlie Chaplin (che parlano tramite l'imagine). Secondo me non e vero che il fotogiornalismo diffetta nello Storytelling, ansi certe volte puo parlare piu di un intero articolo. Fotogiornalismo si trova in un metamorfosi profondo, dove e costretto sopravivere in un momento dove la media electronica ha fatto dei gigandi passi avanti, ma una cosa e certa questo tipo di giornalismo sopravivera e non verra consideratto un relitte del 20 secolo…

Ways for cancer patients and caregivers to cope with cancer, side effects, nutrition, general cancer support issues, grief/end of life issues, and shared survivor's experiences.

Lung cancer is expected to claim the lives of more than 160,000 Americans this year -- many over the age of 65. Survival rates are improving, especially when the cancer is detected early. Treatment is often difficult, however, and is often palliative, directed only toward relieving symptoms as the disease progresses, rather than actively treated the tumor.
Researchers concluded a multicenter randomized trial of 164 patients aged 70 or more, with stage IIIB or IV (unsuitable for curative radiotherapy) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. This study demonstrates that active treatment with vinorelbine (VNR) chemotherapy, in combination with best supportive care in relieving patients' symptoms, allowed them to tolerate the chemotherapy. This substantially prolonged survival in elderly patients with the disease. Twenty-seven percent of patients treated with VNR and best supportive care survived for at least one year, versus only 5% of those receiving best supportive care alone. The researchers conclude that elderly patients with lung cancer can tolerate active chemotherapy when given proper supportive care, and they should be offered this treatment option for management of advanced lung cancer.

Insider Guide: Best of London
Buckingham Palace, the Dickens Museum, Hyde Park, the Hitchcock walking tour, Kew Gardens, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, St. Paul's cathedral, the Thames, Wimbledon -- these are just a few examples of the best of London.
It should be no surprise that a city 2,000 years old is an alphabetic mishmash of things to gawp at.
But like a Dickensian novel, the best of London's real character seeps out of the cracks that split its major attractions.
Yes, London is the world's financial capital (along with New York), yes it's Europe's cultural hub and, yes, more than 300 languages are spoken within its perimeter.
But we don't care about any of that, mate.
This summer, you may have heard the city will be hosting a rather large gathering of athletes. In preparation, the best of London has been busy plumping its cushions and dusting off its best china.
Transport links are being improved, hotels have undergone facelifts and restaurants are being refitted.
Whether or not you care who can run the fastest in spandex shorts, London looks better as a result.
The Savoy
It came a year late and £100 million over budget, but in October 2010 the world's most iconic hotel opened its doors after a rumored £200 million facelift.
Unlike some facelifts, however, the results for this old lady –- now owned by an Arab sheikh and run by Canadians -– are impressive.
Perfectly located for the shops of Covent Garden and the cinemas of Leicester Square, it was Marilyn Monroe's London hotel of choice and, if you can stretch to the £351 nightly fee, it's likely to become yours.
The acclaimed Savoy Grill –- now in the hands of acerbic celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay (do not expect the steaks to be as blue) –- can be expensive, but is not overpriced.
Tip: rooms 328, 428, 528, 628 enjoy river views but entry-level prices.
Strand; +44 (0)20 7836 4343; from £351 (US$550) per night; www.fairmont.com/savoy
Charlotte Street Hotel
Situated in London's media neighborhood just north of Soho, this former dental hospital now contains 52 individually designed rooms, including loft and penthouse suites.
The huge, comfortable beds and trademark polished granite and oak bathrooms are suitably indulgent, and some rooms have luxuriously high ceilings.
Tip: if you can afford it, go for one of the split-level loft suites. Among other things they feature TVs in the bathroom.
15-17 Charlotte St.; +44 (0)20 7806 2000; from £301per night; www.firmdale.com
The Arosfa
This reasonably priced townhouse hotel was once the Bloomsbury home of artist John Everett Millais.
It's close to Euston Station, the British Museum and the shops of Oxford Street. Wi-Fi is available and breakfast is included.
Tip: Arosfa has only 15 rooms, so book early.
83 Gower St.; +44 (0)20 7636 2115; usually from £97; www.arosfalondon.com
The Rookery
Located in a quiet area a short distance from the Barbican, St. Paul's, Holborn and the City, the Rookery is characterized by open fires, Georgian detailing, wonky floors and bulging bookshelves.
There's an honesty bar downstairs, a tiny garden terrace for the summer, 33 double rooms and two singles. All are as quirky as the building.
Bedrooms are named after people who lived in the Dickensian buildings at some point over the last 250 years -– including a disgraced preacher and a prostitute hanged for murder.
Tip: there's no restaurant, the perfect reason to head down the road to the acclaimed St. John for some meaty, masculine English fare.
12 Peter's Lane, Cowcross Street; +44 (0)20 7336 0931; from £200 per night; www.rookeryhotel.com
The Hoxton
This smart budget option could not be better located, bang in the middle of the capital's most buzzing nightlife area.
The Hoxton has been a big hit since it opened in 2006, not least for its famed £1 rooms, which it sells throughout the year.
A word of warning: during the last sale, 500 rooms were booked in less than 10 minutes.
There are no mini-bars, suites, or turndown service, but you do get complimentary Wi-Fi, a banana, yogurt and orange juice for breakfast and one hour of free calls each day to anywhere except "Costa Fortune," according to the management.
Tip: when Pret A Manger sandwich shop entrepreneur Sinclair Beecham opened this 205-room hotel, he used the no‑frills airline approach to setting room rates -– the earlier you book, the less you pay.
81 Great Eastern St.; +44 (0)20 7550 1000; from £69per night; www.hoxtonhotels.com
More on CNNGo: Insider Guide: Best of Vancouver
The Wolseley
Just along from the Ritz Hotel, the Wolseley exudes history and style.
Housed in a former car showroom, and later a branch of Barclays bank, it has vaulted ceilings, polished marble, an art deco interior and the odd celebrity.
Poached native lobster, Cornish crab, two types of caviar and three kinds of oyster decorate the menu.
Harden's has tipped The Wolseley as an excellent business restaurant, but the look and feel is anything but stuffy, so leave the iPad in the office.
Traditional English breakfast here is a must and, with a reported 1,000 covers each day, so is booking ahead.
160 Piccadilly; +44 (0)20 7499 6996; expensive; www.thewolseley.com
Wild Honey
Head to the exclusive Mayfair area of London for dinner and you might expect to need a government bailout to settle your bill.
Not so at Wild Honey. Value is the theme in the wood-paneled dining room with favorites including crisp ox tongue and slow-cooked venison.
The three course pre-theater menu will set you back less than £23, while the three-course lunch menu costs just shy of £22.
A la carte mains cost around £19; other Mayfair eateries will hit you for up to £30.
The cheeseboard is excellent.
12 St. George St.; +44 (0)20 7758 9160; moderate/expensive; www.wildhoneyrestaurant.co.uk
Aurora on Lexington Street is small, intimate and has excellent service.
The walls are painted a bohemian blood red with the interior dark, cozy and unpretentious. The modern European menu is as equally unfussy and changes each month.
There are two sittings, one at 7:15 p.m. and the other at 9:15 p.m. -– opt for the latter and you can finish off at one of the many late-night bars of Soho, London's boozy and sometimes seedy entertainment quarter.
Tables on the ground floor enjoy a better ambience than those downstairs.
49 Lexington St.; +44 (0)20 7494 0514; moderate; www.aurorasoho.co.uk
Busaba Eathai
Nestled within the underbelly of Soho, this is communal Thai dining in stylish, understated surroundings.
The no-booking policy means you can expect queues on Friday and Saturday nights, providing the perfect opportunity for people-watching (and Sohoites deserve some watching).
For groups of two or less, the wait should be no more than 15 minutes.
There are no starters or desserts, just mains and sides, but they're excellent. The tom yam talay, green papaya salad and morning glory are particularly hard to decline.
Service, unfortunately, can be hit-and-miss.
106–110 Wardour St.; +44 (0)20 7255 8686; budget; www.busaba.com
Right behind the Tate Modern museum, this is one of 10 Leon eateries in London and arguably the best.
It's the ultimate credit-crunch restaurant, comprising healthy eating, ethically sourced fast-food and rock-bottom prices.
Dishes are fresh, simple and seasonal. They include a range of wraps, superfood salads, soups and hot meals –- the Moroccan meatballs and the chili chicken are great.
Lunchtimes can be busy with office workers from the Blue Fin building rubbing shoulders with journalists from the nearby Financial Times.
7 Canvey St.; +44 (0)20 7620 0035; budget; www.leonrestaurants.co.uk
Experimental Cocktail Club
The only way to ensure entry to this Chinatown speakeasy is to e-mail before 5 p.m. (email@example.com); phone bookings are not an option.
Cocktails here aren't that experimental, but they're excellent and come in at around £10. The Havana is a house favorite.
You'll find mirrored ceilings, ancient Parisian architecture, tiny couches, total intimacy and a £5 cover charge after 11 p.m. Check out the loos, which sport flamingo wallpaper.
The entry consists of a scruffy door, absolutely no signage and doormen with firmly held views on just about everything. Good luck.

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese
No best of London experience is complete without a beer at one of its many historic pubs and they don't come much older or more historic than Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese.
Frequented by Mark Twain, Voltaire, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde, the pub has been on this site since it was rebuilt in 1667 after the Great Fire of London. Charles Dickens, known to have been a regular of this higgledy-piggledy temple to serious drinking, referred to it in "A Tale of Two Cities."
Expect to have to stoop, dive down cramped staircases and contend with sawdust-strewn floors as you move from room to room.
The real draw? A pint of Sam Smith's for £2.17.

Booking Office
Cunningly named, the Booking Office sits on the site of the old booking hall of St. Pancras station and is found in the lobby of the refurbished St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel.
It's a great place to enjoy a cocktail while admiring what is undoubtedly one of the architectural wonders of the capital -- a magnificent red-brick Gothic masterpiece that was formerly the Midland Grand Hotel.
The Midland Grand closed almost 80 years ago and only narrowly avoided demolition. It was reopened in 2011 after a seemingly never-ending £150-million refit.
The cocktail menu lives up to the surroundings and shows a deep respect for the history (and abundance) of British drinking with sours, fizzes and cobblers.
St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, Euston Road; +44 (0)20 7841 3566; expensive; www.bookingofficerestaurant.com
Ronnie Scott's
Ella, Miles and Curtis are just some of the greats to have graced Ronnie's down the years.
This seminal jazz club tucked away on Soho's Frith Street is worth a visit even if you don't like jazz. It's jazz hands all-round if you do.
Tables are arranged in neat, tiered rows around a sunken stage, with luminous red lamps dotted around the dim room.
Seats are priced according to the view and act, and start at £24.
Cocktails are very much a club asset. Unfortunately they've stopped serving The Ellington, apparently a favorite of the Duke himself, but the choice is plentiful.
A bottle of house red will set you back £19, while a beer costs around £4.02.
Forget eating here. Dining is popular but not compulsory, and largely a disappointment.

London has begun something of a love affair with cabaret.
The capital is awash with new acts and clubs -- some significantly better than others -- but if you like the bizarre mixed with a bit of comedy, dance, acrobatics and perhaps a touch of nudity, then a London cabaret night is for you.
Highly recommended is Cantina, which runs until the end of September, on the South Bank.
Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road; +44 844 545 8282; moderate; www.cantinalondon.com; over 18s only.
Often hailed as the world's best department store by industry insiders, Selfridges dominates the west end of Oxford Street and is made up of six floors, four hectares of shopping space and two exhibition halls.
Although second to Harrods in terms of size and celebrity, it's less touristy, more cutting-edge and is the department store of choice for most Londoners.
It's high-end, high-octane and comes highly recommended. You can stay the whole day, leave empty-handed and still feel like Julia Roberts in that scene from "Pretty Woman."
In any case, it contains 10 restaurants to keep your energy levels up while its personal shoppers can do the hard work for you.
400 Oxford St.; +44 800 123400; expensive; www.selfridges.com
Borough Market
London's oldest market –- dating to the 13th century –- is also its busiest.
On the banks of the Thames just south of London Bridge, you'll find beautifully displayed organic fruit and veg, cheese, cakes, bread, olive oil, fish, meat, beer, wine and chocolate.
Go hungry, go early, sample everything and bring cash –- few stallholders accept credit cards.

Columbia Road Flower Market
With thousands of flowers crammed into one noisy Victorian terraced street, London's Columbia Road Flower Market -- now lined with fancy boutiques -- is a throwback to the old East End.
From 8 a.m.-2 p.m. every Sunday, the flowers and plants up for sale are some of the best (and cheapest) around. Arrive early to avoid the crowds. Blooming marvelous.
Columbia Road; cheap/moderate; www.columbiaroad.info
Views from Waterloo Bridge
Londoners bore visitors to death about how great the views are from Waterloo Bridge, but they have a point.
Although it contends for the title of ugliest bridge in London, the views are inspiring, and you can save yourself the £19 it costs to ride the London Eye (and the one-hour wait) and head here.
On one hand are the Royal Festival Hall, Elizabeth Tower (as Big Ben has been renamed to commemorate the queen's Diamond Jubilee), the Houses of Parliament and the BT Tower.
Looking in the other direction you can take in the views of St. Paul's, Canary Wharf, the Gherkin (as the rather phallic skyscraper properly called 30 St. Mary Axe is dubbed), the Oxo Tower and the just-completed Shard, which cost £450 million to build and at 310 meters is the tallest building in the European Union.
The views after dark are especially good.
St. Paul's Cathedral
Christopher Wren's masterpiece has squatted imposingly in the City of London for the past 300 years.
It famously withstood the Blitz and has become something of a monument to the resilience of London.
Down in the crypt you can check out the tombs of some of the nation's greatest heroes including Admiral Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington.
You can also try out the acoustic quirks of the Whispering Gallery and continue the climb to the Golden Gallery for views across London.
Tickets cost £14.57 from Monday to Saturday. The cathedral reverts to its traditional role on Sunday, when it's open to worshippers for free.

48-hour itinerary
Taking on London in one weekend is like eating soup with chopsticks. You haven't got a chance.
But if you insist on trying to devour the monster in one short sitting, here's a suggested hit list.
1. Arty start
After an early breakfast at one of the many stalls of Borough Market (see review), take the short walk beside the river to the Tate Modern.
Tate Modern
London's most visited (it's free) and innovative gallery, Tate Modern is housed in a former power station with the space itself as much of an attraction as the collections.
The interior is a glorious, unpretentious playground of modern art, as appealing to children and amateurs as it is to adults and art experts.
Permanent collections include works by Matisse, Rothko and Andy Warhol, as well as the best of contemporary British art.
If you get bored, you can wander along the South Bank to find the Royal Festival Hall, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, The Hayward art gallery, The Royal National Theatre and the London Film Museum.
Plus a gaggle of performance artists who could be break dancing or impersonating Charlie Chaplin.
Bankside; +44 (0)20 7887 8888; www.tate.org.uk/modern
2. Showstopper
Soho is perfect for an early dinner –-Aurora and Busaba Eathai are strong contenders (see reviews) –- and one of many shows in Theatreland.
Theatreland is the largest theater district in the world.
It's bordered by The Strand to the south, Oxford Street to the north, Regent Street to the west and Kingsway to the east with its heart being Shaftesbury Avenue, home to six theaters.
No trip to London is complete without catching a show, but show business can be an expensive business, so head to the half-price (for performances that day) ticket booth in Leicester Square. It opens at 9 a.m. but queues form much earlier.
3. Tower trail
Day two begins with breakfast at the Wolseley (see review) and a trip east to the Tower of London.
Tower of London
For a thousand years the Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has protected, threatened, imprisoned and occasionally executed the people of London.
Luckily, these days it serves only to entertain and educate them.
The biggest draw is the crown jewels. The Imperial State Crown alone is made up of 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and five rubies -- basically very bling.
The medieval palace, Traitors' Gate, the Yeomen Warders ("Beefeaters") and the ravens add to the atmosphere.
Legend says Britain and the Tower will fall if the six ravens ever leave. Best to get there before that happens.
Tower Hill; +44 (0)20 3166 6000; www.hrp.org.uk/toweroflondon
4. Park up
Weather dependent (yes, it sometimes rains in London) the rest of the day could be best spent in Hyde Park -– one of the capital's lungs.
But if the weather beats you, nearby Exhibition Road can offer cover in the form of the Science Museum, The Natural History Museum or the Victoria and Albert Museum. Entrance is free, although charges are sometimes levied for special exhibitions and events.
Hyde Park
Hyde Park is one of the greatest city parks in the world.
It has been open to the public since 1637, covers 142 hectares and contains more than 4,000 trees, a large lake, a meadow, ornamental flower gardens and two restaurants.
Monuments include The Serpentine Bridge, the Joy of Life fountain, the Achilles statue and the Diana Memorial Fountain. Swimming races are staged in the Serpentine on Saturday morning and Christmas Day.
Open from 5 a.m. to midnight all year round.
Hyde Park; +44 (0)20 7262 5484; www.royalparks.org
5. Bike with Boris
Hardy visitors can join the dots of a London visit on a "Boris bike."
Set up in July 2010, the public bicycle sharing scheme is modeled on Montreal's.
The bikes, referred to as "Boris bikes" because rumbustious, larger-than-life mayor Boris Johnson launched the scheme, can be picked up at any one of 315 docking stations dotted around central London.
They're designed for short trips and, so while the first 30 minutes are free, a two-and-a-half-hour trip will cost £10.

We loved the designer Tolix stools but didn't want to pay so much. I originally bought the black ones because the metal weren't available. I returned the black ones and now have 4 metal stools around my kitchen island. Know that the metal is metallic paint not raw galvanized steel with a clear coat. This isn't clear on the website. They work well with our stainless appliances though and are SUPER STURDY. My 2 year old can climb up to sit without tipping or wobbling. Good protection for our new wood floor as well. Very good quality. When the real Tolix chairs come in I'll re-post with how well they work with these.
These stools has a plasticky finish, did not look like metal at all. If you're looking for industrial style stools, you will be disappointed. Had to return these and pay $** per pair to do so.
A great product for the price. Arrived on time and well-packaged. The sheen on the metal differs slightly from the photos (it does look more matte in person) but I was prepared for that by other reviews and happy with the product when it arrived. We really like the stools. I'm ordering two more. Was surprised by the 250 lb weight limit. Perhaps that could be listed in the details.
i got exactly what i was expecting to get. from the other reviews, i knew what to expect - that the stools were painted silver, and do not have the shiny bare metal finish like the ones in the pictures. they seem high quality, fit my counter perfectly, and are great for the price (the originals sell for hundreds more each).
I bought a new house about a year ago and it's still half empty. That's because I have a rule that we're not settling for furniture. We wait until we find the perfect piece.These barstools were that perfect piece. And the fact that they were easily half (if not less) the price of other stools I was concidering.....How amazing is that?They look good, fit perfectly under my kitchen island, feel very sturdy and even though I had to buy an extra (I needed 3 and they came in sets of two) it was still a great deal. And the extra one will soon play the role of plant stand or side table or extra seating.
These stools were just as described. Rugged and made for use while aesthetically- they make the room. WIll definitely stand up to the rigors of everyday use of a busy kitchen area. The price can't be beat.
I shopped a lot for metal counter stools and the prices were all too high until I saw these. I settled slightly because the style was similar to what I wanted and the price was bearable. I was not disappointed because I read reviews that explained them better than the description. Nice stools for a fair price.
I personally love these stools and use one at my counter height desk in my kitchen. They are lightweight, inexpensive and incredibly sturdy. I even stand on them when reaching very high shelves. However, the rest of my family hate them and feel that they look cheap and even plastic like. So I ended up buying more substantial wooden swivel stools with leather seats for my island. So, it depends on what you like. I call them "industrial chic" , they think they should be in the basement workshop.
these are great bar stools. i would love to get the matching chairs!
These look exactly like they do in the picture. Arrived very well packaged to prevent damage. Great quality for the low $

Focus Areas:
Contact Info:
Office Location:
Education & Research Building
Research Interests:
Keywords: MicroRNA biology, Cancer Research, Lung cancer and biology, Cancer genomics, Molecular study of oncogene mechanism, Oncogenic signaling, Cancer cell metabolism, and Finding new uses of old drugs.
I. MicroRNAs and mechanism of lung cancer genes
Oncogenes activated via gene amplification have a proven track record of being amenable to invention of new anti-cancer therapies. We and others discovered a recurrent amplified region in lung cancer genomes. This amplicon contains the TTF-1 gene (thyroid transcription factor 1 or known as NKX2-1) which is essential for lung development and morphogenesis. We are interested in mapping the interconnection between TTF-1 and microRNAs to afford novel entry points to investigate TTF-1-linked lung biology. Using a variety of experimental approaches, our laboratory is the first to discover the two types of TTF-1-linked microRNAs – an upstream microRNA that directly regulates TTF-1 expression and downstream microRNAs that are regulated by TTF-1. Currently, we are investigating the biology of these interactions between microRNAs and a lung cancer/development gene.
II. New uses of old drugs
In order to minimize the exorbitant costs and risks of de novo drug discovery and development, our strategy is to use off-patent marketed small molecule drugs as the starting point of drug discovery efforts, i.e. repurposing/repositioning an old drug for a new use. Medications that have come off patent are affordable for patients and have well documented biological, toxicological, and pharmacokinetic studies associated with them. Consequently, functional screening of such "old drugs" may readily yield chemicals for immediate clinical trials. Furthermore, "off-label" prescribing allows physicians to innovate with treatments based on emerging research data. Towards this end, we are conducting a multitude of cell-based screens to uncover new utilities of "old drugs" in fighting cancers. This line of research entails a highly translational goal in sight. Although cancer is the focal point of our work, our approach is in principle transplantable and could be used to discover novel therapeutic strategies to treat other diseases. There are approximately 9990 drugs known to clinical medicine. Each drug should be considered an information-rich entity that merits exploration especially as treatment of orphan diseases.

Puppykissesrock, 1 year ago | FlagI'm going to laugh with JJ and Libbie! I, You people are just a bunch of freakin' slactivists! You only make up 2 percent of the population, but you band together internationally so as to look like you are the majority. You feed off of each other and none of you does any actual research before you start slandering reputable businesses, whether it be a puppy store or a puppy transport!
I love to hate the phrase you people all use, sounding like a bunch of parrots: "antiquated business model." Wake up! Charm City Puppies is a new and innovative business model.
I, too, have a beautiful, healthy puppy from Charm City Puppies! I was given all the information about the breeder and did my research as well. My puppy came from a small scale breeder with no animal cruelty violations. Charm City Puppies works hand-in-hand with a reputable and state-of-the-art local vet. My puppy came microchipped and entered in a national database so that should she get away from me for any reason she would be returned to me (98% proven recovery) and not end up in an animal rescue.
Freaks! Get a life! Don't you realize that 98% of the population is tired of seeing you all rant and rave. You ask me, you are doing more harm than good for your cause. Slactivists, you're the antiquated business model. You are still acting like it's the 1980's.
Libbie85, 1 year ago | FlagI'm going to have a nice long laugh with JJ.
Just because a license plate is MO...does not mean the puppies all came from there. They are a animal transport company which gets them from the breeders to transport them to their destinations..you are so stupid...get. a. life.
Dear Rebecca Waer- I proudly own a Charm City Puppy. The dog is NOT from MO (not that that is a bad place anyway since it was attacked several years ago and destroyed its puppy mill issues), AND the Hunte people that you were so obnoxiously bothering are an animal transport company, you idiot. Why don't you stay in California and go be an idiot there, instead of bothering these people who gave me a healthy puppy, with a breeder I researched (because they give you that information too--maybe you would know that if you had the guts to go in the shop) that only has 4 adult dogs, and she was completely vaccinated and dewormed.
P.s. one woman saying they think Charm City is terrible does not account for the entire community. I've lived here my entire life and can tell you the majority is thrilled because they are a shop that does it RIGHT. So go back to California and have no life there instead of bringing your nonsense here. If you don't know any information about a place, don't go posting lies like you did...they DON'T get their puppies from mills, you're so stupid...I hope the owners see all this and you get sued for slander.
P.p.s...you sound like a man.
JJ62486, 1 year ago | Flaghahahahah I don't see anything illegal or immoral here. You people are pathetic. Here is an idea, stop attacking legitimate
businesses and go after people who are ACTUALLY harming animals. I came here over the weekend and this store clearly doesn't deal with puppy mills. The Puppies are all extremely healthy and happy, and just because a puppy shows up on a truck doesn't mean animal cruelty. Would you rather have it show up in the back of a pickup truck? Seriously, do you people even know what you want? PA is the puppy mill capital of the world...wh y don't you drive an hour north and actually try and help some animals? Oh yeah, that would require an actual effort.

Burnley woman killed in crash on A56
11:59am Tuesday 25th September 2012 in News
A WOMAN was killed in a crash on the A56 this morning.
The collision occurred at Huncoat prior to Rising Bridge around 9.45am when a silver Mercedes coupe has been involved in a collision with a Mercedes sprinter van, a red mini cooper and white Ford transit pickup.
It is believed the Mercedes coupe was travelling along the southbound carriageway when it has lost control and veered onto the opposite carriageway colliding with the other vehicles which were heading north towards Burnley.
Sadly a 35-year-old woman from Burnley who was a passenger in the Mercedes car sustained serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the Royal Blackburn Hospital a short time later.
The driver of the Mercedes, who is also from Burnley, is currently at the Royal Preston Hospital with serious leg injuries. His condition is described as critical.
A baby, who was in the rear of the Mercedes, sustained minor injuries and is being treated at the Royal Blackburn Hospital.
Five other people were treated at the scene by paramedics for minor injuries.
Police are investigating the circumstances of exactly what has happened.
Sergeant Malcolm Bell said: "I would appeal to anybody that witnessed this collision and has not yet spoken with police to please contact us.

Wednesday's letters: Haley needs to refocus

I read Sunday's headline "Haley to GOP: Refocus on Obama" and thought: "Constituents to Haley: Refocus on South Carolina."
Remember, "Can't Is Not An Option" should refer to her work for our state, not her 2016 national ambitions.

Christian right beliefs
The Christian right seems to have connected "dignity of human life" to abortion only. Dignity of human life entails all human beings, all through history. The trouble with Christian right beliefs is that if you believe all of our citizens should have a worthwhile standard of living, the Christian right will classify its dissenters as socialist or communist.
According to Sunday's Herald-Journal, the minimum wage some 50 years ago was less than $2. Increasing the value of this amount through inflationary time, the minimum wage should be over $10. It is hard to believe the working people would accept such unrealistic thinking as what I believe the Christian right advocates: "Keep wages exceptionally low so the rich and famous can tell them what to do." Business needs to make a profit, but not at the expense of the citizens.
Christian leaders all through history have set standards with the establishment-type organizations (government-financed organizations) that through the years has resulted in extreme hatred between the Muslims and the United States. Cultural traits are not easily forgotten as people were once given the choice of being a Christian or death, as demonstrated during the Crusades and Dark Ages.
President Barack Obama tries to overcome these terrible mistakes of history, while the Christian right seems to perpetuate hate and war between the nations.
Jesus Christ was the great mediator, and we as a nation should take note and learn about our world's history regarding our religion. Jesus was not a socialist, but he advocated taking care of our citizens and that they should have dignity of life.

How about the situation in Japan? Besides Rohm which is still increasing CapEx, ...
It is never safe to assume and in areas like semiconductor capex the swings ...
Analyst: Only six chip firms to expand capex in 2012
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Only six of the top 35 chip-making companies are planning to increase capital expenditure in 2012 compared with 2011, according to market analysis company IC Insights Inc. (Scottsdale, Ariz.).
The six are Intel, Samsung, Hynix, TSMC, UMC, and Rohm. Those six are likely to be responsible for about two-thirds of fab spending in 2012. Back in November 2010 another market analysis firm, Gartner, produced a ranking which showed 11 companies in the billion-dollar-per-year capex club in 2011. It is not clear from IC Insights how many are still in that club but according to IC Insights there are just three companies in the five-billion-dollar-per-year capex club.
With an increase of $1.7 billion, Intel is expected to post the biggest dollar increase in capital expenditure for 2012, though it is likely to trail Samsung in overall capex for the year. The third club member is TSMC.
Despite the fact that just six companies are increasing spending on an annual basis IC Insights has raised its forecast for total semiconductor capital spending for 2012 to $63.3 billion from $60.7 billion.
As a result the total 2012 semiconductor industry capital expenditures are now forecast to decline by 3 percent this year as compared to the previous expectation of an 8 percent decline.

@Peter Clarke, is it safe it assume the remaining are on par for CapEx spending in 2012? What about companies that have announced decrease in CapEx for 2012?
Overall, it is sad to see fewer chairs at the table!
MP Divakar
@MP- I'll let Peter offer his own answer when it's morning time in London, but I personally am not aware of any major chip makers lowering capex for 2012. Intel said earlier this week that it would trim it's R&D and SG&A spending estimate for the year slightly, but it kept its capex estimate intact.
It is never safe to assume and in areas like semiconductor capex the swings year-to-year can be large.
Given that IC Insights is predicting a 3.5 percent annual fall in total semiconductor capex for 2012 the implication is that the rest of the industry is reducing its aggregate capex by slightly more than these top six are increaseing their capex.
The majority of the spending will be in the "home" country of each of the companies.
SO Intel mainly in the US some in Europe at Leixlip; Samsung and Hynix mainly in South Korea, TSMC and UMC mainly in Taiwan and so on.
So U.S. and Asia but more Asia than U.S. and not very much Europe at all.
How about the situation in Japan? Besides Rohm which is still increasing CapEx, how about others? I'm afraid Japan is walking away from the industry from the recent situation in Renesas.

Psychotherapy integration grew out of increasing dissatisfaction with the continuous creation of new schools of therapy, the demands for accountability by payers, and the confusion of the general public about what psychotherapy is (Prochaska and Norcross 2007). The movement promised several advantages: clarity through recognition of common factors and a common language for the many overlapping concepts and strategies; improved outcomes via selection of the most effective concepts and strategies; and a framework within which new ideas could continue to evolve while simultaneously being tempered by continuing contact with other evolving ideas and the core processes that defined psychotherapy. By attempting to conceptualize psychotherapy as a whole, as an entity itself, the integration movement fostered pragmatic findings that did not fit neatly within specific, school-based theoretical orientations. These findings included the predominance of patient variables in determining outcome, the significant role of personal characteristics of the therapist, the key role of the therapeutic alliance, and the value of focusing on outcome rather than theory and technique.

Joffrey Tour Program: Deuce Coupe, Motown Suite, andSometimes it Snows in April
Posted 16 January 2008 - 08:36 PM
Has anyone else seen this program?
Duece Coupe, Twyla Tharp:
I must be getting even older than I thought.
The last time I saw Twyla Tharp's Deuce Coupe was with the Joffrey in the early 70s. I remember only a little, but that includes memories of a warm and witty exploration of youthful dancing styles -- starting with a single girl on pointe performing a series of classical ballet steps who is suddenly surrounded by a group of kids dancing to contemporary (late 60s) pop tunes. It was new and seemed worth doing.
The current revival seemed like an entirely different work in style, spirit and execution. The Joffey dancers are young and very skilled, but they seemed to be performing a "dance by numbers" revival of movements (and attitudes) they didn't really relate to. The piece seemed contrived and rather old-fashioned. One short and forgettable Beach Boys tune followed the other. Dancers doodled all over the stage, often with little relationship to each other or to their shared space. There were numerous brief vignettes strung together. It was -- for me, anyway -- incredibly tedious and forgettable.
The only bit I actually remembered from the original season was "Ally Oop." The version tonight -- with half-hearted head shaking and shrugging -- was like a fuzzy short-hand version of what I think I saw 30-plus years ago.
Motown Suite. Donald Byrd
This had two advantages over the Tharp piece. There was a genuine attempt to integrate ballet and non-ballet movement. And the music was better -- or at least more familiar.
Once again: vignettes of teenage life, vintage 1960s. The couple breaking up and coming back together. The flirt who dances with two boys, then leaves the second to go off with the first. The girl clinging to the boy who wants to reject her. The boy who's been rejected relieving his anger and frustration in a bit of bravura, athletic dancing. The opening of the high school hop, boys on one side of the stage, girls on the other, with boys slowly approaching girls to ask them to dance.
Ultimately, each song became a story, usually tied much too literally to the words. The dancers seemed to be dancing the lyrics rather than the music. There were a few times when I expected some of the dancers actually to start lip-synching.
I found myself thinking, wistfully, of how much better Jerome Robbins did this in West Side Story.
The ballet had (I think) 19 dancers. Individuals, couples and small groups did their own thing in the background as others did their own thing in front. In defense of this approach, it does seem to be the way teenagers often relate to each other when out in society.
There were a few wonderful images that I won't quickly forget. A girl in lilac leaned against the back of a kneeling boy, extending her leg in arabesque. Then she turned away from him and rested her back on the back of his shoulder.. He rose and walked offstage carrying the girl, who appeared to float behind him. A totally committed dancer in the back -- wearing light blue -- tried out ballet steps (plie in second on pointe) and flailed her arms as she almost lost balance. (As with Lucy in Peanuts, the serious girl making a mistake and fighting it can be very funny.) A girl with long blond hair who looked like she'd been around the block a few times, gazed at an unhappy boy with a look that said she actually understood and cared about what he was feeling, then turned and walked thoughtfully into the wings.
Sometimes it Snows in April (from Billboards). Laura Dean. Music by Prince.
18 dancers, all in white and silver costumes. This was the most balletic, and the closest of the three to pure dance I appreciated the ensemble work, the periods of unison dancing, and the extreme athleticism of the movements. I loved the huge jumps, one after the other, in which everyone participated.
Only towards the end -- as the dancing became faster and more in unison -- did the thought cross my mind: This is like an aerobics class. It was an aerobics class in a very high-level college dance program, but an aeorbics class nonetheless.
This piece brought the only sustained applause of the evening, along with the now obligatory standing ovation.
Lesson learned from all of this : Music without depth or complexity produces dancing in its own image.
Even when the melodies are nice.
Even when the audience knows the lyrics.
And, sadly, even when the dancers are attractive, young, talented, and willing to dance their hearts out.
Posted 17 January 2008 - 04:19 AM
Let's give Mr. Wheater this season to get his repetoire for next season in place. Often programing has reasons beyond what we, the audience may know. The dancers are very good which is a credit in itself. I am sure there are new and wonderful things in the works for the future of this wonderful company.

There is a perception that energetic, 'youthful' pieces such as these will bring in a different audience. But I think you've hit the nail on the head: uninspired recreations of boring choreography to dated music won't really please anyone.
If you ever get the chance, contrast the current version of Sometimes It Snows In April to the more contemporaneous version that airs occasionally on the Ovation channel. The quality of the dancing is totally different.

Ashley Wheater seems to be a serious artist. He's inherited extraordinarily well prepared dancers from those who came before him. With care, the dancers should do honor to the best of the company's existing reperetory of major ballets as well as attracting talented choreographers for the creation of new work. Those of you who live in Chicago probably have a lot of exciting times ahead of you.

Here's Susan Reiter's review of a performance on Long Island, from Danceviewtimes. It's informative and interesting about Deuce Coupe.
I wish the dancers in the photos had been identified. Several -- the girl with the long blond hair, for instance -- were impressive on Wednesday. But there was no way to figure out who any of the dancers were. One of the frustrations of the program on Wednesday was that -- although the Kravis printed a full-page of information about the Artistic Director, who arrived long after all these works were set -- the dancers were listed only by name and in format which made it impossible to guess who most of them were. No photos; no bios. These individual artists deserved better.
Posted 19 January 2008 - 02:31 PM
Let us know if you figure out this mystery. If not, maybe you could post the cast list and one of us could help figure out who it was.

I recognized and remembered others, but those young women were the three who stuck most in my mind.

bart, on Jan 19 2008, 05:47 PM, said:
I completely agree. This new format, with casting printed on weekly inserts without dancer photos, started this past fall and it has a makeshift feel. These artists DO deserve better. And how can the Joffrey build a knowledgeable audience when the audience can't easily identify the dancers?
Posted 20 January 2008 - 02:59 PM
If the Joffrey had ranks, Maia Wilkins would be a principal of the highest rank. You can count on seeing her as Giselle, Cinderella, Juliet, Kate (in Taming of the Shrew), and Sugar Plum Fairy. But of course, in the Joffrey's way of doing things you also get to see her as part of the corps. I think she is very expressive in just the way you mentioned -- a little look goes a long, long way with her.
Erica Lynette Edwards is one of my personal favorites. (You know ... if you had identified your mystery dancer as African-American I could have told you right off the bat who she was. Now that you have ID'ed her, I remember she was dancing the role in light blue.) She has tons of energy and attack; she is very spirited and takes every role to the max. It won't surprise you to know that she gets roles like Spanish and Russian in Nutcracker -- and, frankly, I'd like to see her as Kate.

Nope, Lvl 11 = Black Ops uniform, cargo pants and army boots. That means that the Tan Jacket was in 2 levels.
What do you mean by Black ops uniform? I see the same tan (?) jacket with black underneath that Konoko wears in TCTF HQ and Science Prison.
so i guess the solution to all the problems would be to lower the polygon count of the head in particular.
Also the sleeveless forcefield bug causes disappearance of contrails and flames. Lack of flames, standard impacts, contrails are annoying but if that's the price then I'll pay it.
I think Leucha can probably reduce the polys without a discernible loss of detail so you don't have to pay any price at all (although I haven't examined the model so I could be wrong).
byproducts are fine, but where's the beef?
well i've worked a lot with TRBS and there's always room for lowering the poly-count. but i do it manually ... removing edges and redrawing them in order to get less polygons .. it's very frustrating and time consuming. xsi's automatic polygon reduction messes it up.

I don't remember that, also your example doesn't really count. It's just a variation of her tan jacket

Actually, you can keep the HD version, but just create a lower poly count version and use it for the lower LODs. In fact, I think I already did that for Konoko HD. Need to check...
So I vote for HD Muro!
Concerning the forcefield bug, does it only occur with the TCTF armor ? Or on every other models I put the HD head on ? (if so, that would really suck )
It occurs only on TCTF Armor. Muro HD FTW too, but I think I prefer to see that tan jacket reskin first.
thought we fixed the sleeves...
Didn't Gumby say something about a lower-LOD model being used for rendering the force field effect? That would mean that the fully-detailed mode can be left the same. Which would be neat.
Iritscen: it's amazing this program even works
Gumby: i know
Iritscen: and that statement applies to my code, not just yours
On second thoughts, If I have to wait long for a next HD model, then I absolutely vote for HD Muro.
I've already installed the AE. I extracted it to packages, then re-ran the AE installer. The package didn't show up. What do I do?
EDIT: Figured it out on my own. I ran the program as an administrator. Worked like a charm.
EDIT: HD Muro FTW.

The package has been updated by EdT on 24/9/2012 to include lower lods and solve the previous problems of disappearing hit impacts and contrails and forcefield not covering entire body.

"29 Years Service"
We just replaced out 1984 model Olsen furnace. It was still working very well but not very efficient and our A/C was on it's last legs so we replaced both. All we ever had to do with the furnace was replace the blower motor 12 years ago. We had trouble finding an Olsen dealer in our area and went to a local company that sells Lennox products. I hope Dave is as good as Olsen.

"Olsen Replaced Olsen"
I had an Olsen Airco g95v installed 4 years ago. It replaced a 1959 orginal (!!) Olsen furnace. No repairs, no maintenance in the 4 years on the new one. High efficiency furnace (95%), so it blows air that isn't as hot as the old furnaces, but it still heats the place just fine and the gas bills drop a lot.

"Noisy, but ran for 12 years problem free"
We have an Olsen emp080n08 80% efficiency gas furnace that came with our new home 12 years ago. I have always found it to be unreasonably noisy. The builder could do nothing about it and the other houses in the developement are noisy too. However, it has been reliable. After 12 years with no service calls, the control board has to be replaced (which is actually made by Honeywell). I plan to replace this furnace with the quietest model I can find in another brand.

"Serviced once and still going strong"
Moved into the house in 1995, furnace 9 yrs old at that time. Was last serviced in 1997. Touch wood, it has never given me one iota of problems. Was thinking of replacing it this year because is 26 yrs old now, but after reading here, think I'll just wait awhile longer. I keep the house cool in the winter, about 16*c / 68f (or less) so my dogs are comfortable, and set so it doesn't come on at all in the summer months. No loud noises, fan works fine. Keep the air intake clean. a great product.

Remember last year when the 'Tebowing' craze was sweeping the nation? Well after a stellar first game performance (19-26, 320 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 40-32 victory at the Saints), Robert Griffin III is quickly becoming the new darling of NFL fans.
RGIII's popularity is growing so rapidly that fans have are starting a new trend known as "Griffining", mimmicking Griffin's motion after completing an 88-yard completion to Pierre Garcon for his career touchdown pass. Here are some pics courtesy of USA Today:
And so it begins. If Griffin can continue the excellent play that he displayed Sunday in New Orleans, there's no way to think this new craze won't catch on and go viral quickly.
Actually since I'm posting it, you can say it already has, right?
