Convert Figure To Currency
I recently had to create an app where i had to work out how much pennies a person would have at the end of a 30 day period.
The question was:
'Today, I'll give you a penny. Tomorrow, I'll give you two pennies. I'll keep doubling the amount that I will give you for 30 days. How much will you have at the end of the month?'
After working this out, the person would have 1073741823 pennies.
What i would like to do is, at the press of a button, convert this 10 digit figure into pounds (sterling), and having it displayed as currency.
What i though of doing was:
currency = total / 100
lblsterling = currency
Would this work, or is there another way of converting it to currency?
Thanks in advance for your help

I Want To Convert Currency From One To Another......please Help Me [ Urgent ]
I have listview(listinvoice) in my form, it contains 6 columns, serial number, products,Produc Description, quantity, unitprice and Amount.I have one textbox(txtTotal) on same form. It displays the sum of items in column "Amount". I also have one combobox(cmboConverter) on the same form. Combobox contains items, such as "US dollar","Australian Dollar", "Singapore
Dollar", etc. And default currency is Nepalese currency. And the value of other currencies corresponding to Nepalese Currency are stored in my database(eg. lets say 1 USD equals 78 Nepalese currency). All i want to do is that whenever i change the currency format in combobox. It will convert to the currency format that i changed in combobox equivalent to the currency that was previously on that textbox.
I also want to change the columnheader from "Amount" to "Amount(USD)" if i change the combobox item to "US DOLLAR".
Please anyone help me with this, i'll be really grateful.

i have a form. When the command button is clicked values(numbers) are added.
However, i want the total box to not just show for example, 45.00. but £45.00.
how do you do this?
ya know how you create a field to a table
.createfield ("new field", dbtext, 50)
well how do you do currency? i tried this
.createfield ("new currency", dbcurrency)
this works "BUT" i need it to format it in currency in ms access , it gives it the currecny type but it don't format it.
I am trying to give a label the data format of currency. I select DataFormat | Currency from the properties menu but when i load up my form it still displays integers normally instead of currency like i selected.
I assume I have to do more than simply select currency as the DataFormat?

The question: Is this way correct to pass currency values from VB to VC++?
OK, I want to enter a number and then use that number to get another number.I have been trying to format both of these numbers as currency, but I am doing something wrong.When I enter the first number I need a "$" in the text box, and when the second number is calculated I need a "$" in front of that.Also the numbers behind the decimal go back four places and I really only want them to go back to.Any ideas?

Currency Symbols
Hi All ... thanks in advance.
I have created a quoting & estimating package that is now getting attention and potential buyers from other countries. In many places in the app, I have to format for different currencies. Rather than using the Windows settings ... I decided to force the issue within the code ... formatting strings and text boxes using the users selection from the made-available currencies.
The problem ... I can get the currency symbols for most of the desired currencies like £ and ¥ ... but can't get it for all. I'm looking for Chinese yuan and some others.
I thought it was a function of the FONT in the IDE but that doesn't seem to help. Even if I create the symbol in say WORD and try to copy and paste ... that doesn't work either.
Any ideas on how I can get these symbols to appear in the VB5 IDE and therefore in the TEXT boxes and such?
Again, thanks in advance.
MaskEdBox For Currency
Greetings, I'm trying to make a MaskEdBox for Currency input. We're writing code in a procedural language to generate Visual Basic screens, so I need to do this with as little code in Visual Basic as possible. Is there any easy way to do this? Just using a mask like ###.## doesn't work, since it starts at the first space and then if you just want to input 50.04 you have to move forward, it would be nice if you could input the value without having to set the decimal place, or enter it and then have the decimal point move two away from the last numeric value...
Any help would be appreciated.
Currency In Textbox
Hey all, im in need of some help in checking for decimal place and other stuff in my txt box.
this is my code right now:
Private Sub cmdCashTotal_Click()
Dim Change As Currency
Dim LooseChange As Currency
If txtDigits = "$" Or txtDigits = "" Then
MsgBox "Your need to enter an amount first", vbInformation
ElseIf Mid(txtDigits, 3, 1) <> "." Or Right(txtDigits.Text, 1) = "." Then
MsgBox "you need to enter a correct amount", vbInformation
If cmdCashTotal.Tag = "GotChange" Then
Change = Format(Replace(Val(txtDigits.Text - txtHoldChange), "$", ""), "0.00")
GoTo B
cmdCashTotal.Tag = "NoChange"
Change = Format(Replace(Val(txtDigits.Text - lblTaxTotal), "$", ""), "0.00")
End If
If Change < 0 Then
MsgBox "You need " & Replace(Change, "-", "") & " more to complete this transaction", vbCritical
LooseChange = Format(Replace(Change, "-", ""), "0.00")
txtHoldChange = LooseChange
cmdCashTotal.Tag = "GotChange"
txtDigits.ForeColor = &HFF&
txtDigits.Text = "$" & txtHoldChange
txtDigits.Text = "$"
lblChange = "$" & Change
End If
End If
End Sub
Problem with the code above is that if i enter $100 then it will tell me that "you need to enter a correct amount".
It works fine if i have an amount like $20 or even $20. or 20.0
But once i try putting $20.00 for some reason it still tells me "you need to enter a correct amount".
It works fine with $1.00-9.00.
All i am wanting is to check if the user enters a correct currency in the text box (IE: $15.00) not 15 or 15.0.. somewhere along those lines.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Currency Calculator
I'm new on this forum, and I'm also new to VB in Excel. I have been programing in C, and programing in VB Excel is starting to be hard form me.
I have a small task. I have to make a small currency calculator and I have many problems. I would like to use some kind of combobox to store Currency Name and Value, so user may choose currency and then write amount of money, after that he Might just click Button and here we go, we have a result. Everything have to be made in Excel VB.
Well I know how to make code (and programing is quite familiar for me), but I don't know how to add data to this "combobox" (or anything else) romve or correct rate of exchange. The problem is about storing data and taking it out.
Maybe some of you have appliaction which is simillar to this, so I might look at code (if you agree).
Oh and you know some kind of trick to start functions when your application starts ? That might be also helpful.
Thanks alot for help!

Currency Problem
I'm haven some problem with the format of my currency. It's selected as being United States English, but is constantly appearing as british pounds. This is happening on several PC's, and refuses to fix itself.
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?
Currency Format
I have created a program with multiple check boxes. Each time a check box is selected I want it to add a currency amount of .50 to the second text box and then add the amount in the first text box to that of the second and populate the total in the third text box. The first time a check box is selected it is accurately showing the amount in the second box as a currency of $0.50 but does not total the amount into the third box. The second time a check box is selected it goes to .5 but this time it does total the third box. As subsequent check boxes are selected it is adding the numbers up accurately...but no longer showing them as currency. Please view the code below and let me know if you can see what I'm doing wrong.
Private Sub chkToppings_Click(Index As Integer)
If txtToppings.Text = "0.00" Then

Else: txtToppings.Text = Val(txtToppings.Text) + FormatCurrency(0.5, 2)
txtTotal.Text = Val(txtPizza.Text) + Val(txtToppings.Text)

The Value of Intangible Corporate Assets: An Empirical Study of the Components of Tobin's Q
AbstractThe relative stock market valuation of the intangible asset created by R&D; investment in U.S. manufacturing firms has fallen from rough equality with ordinary tangible assets during the 1973-1982 period to about twenty to thirty percent of ordinary capital during the 1986-1990 period. At the same time, the relative market valuation of advertising expenditure has risen to parity with R&D; spending. This finding is based on a large comprehensive panel of about 2500 U.S. industrial corporations, covering eighty to ninety percent of industrial R&D; performed by U.S. firms and is robust to industry controls, sample selection, and various specification tests. Possible explanations for the finding are discussed, but definitive answers await future research.

This is great. I would love to start my day off with tea, but I need it to work while I'm in the shower. Fantastic. I want to try it with my favorite rooibos tea.
Unfortunately my absolute favorite tea is the ridiculously overpriced Aveda Comforting Tea*. Then there's Yogi Tea's Mexican Sweet Chili and two from a friend's tea shop in NM called Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos and Sencha Kyoto Cherry Rose.
*I'm in search of a cheaper replacement, any suggestions?
What a nice tea maker!!
Green tea is my fave!
The two coffee pots make it look so refined and elegant (or... maybe silly. I can't decide which. But I'll go with elegant for now).
I love the jasmine tea that comes in pearls. The Adagio one is Jasmine #12. It never gets bitter, is light, and subtly perfumed. Perfect.
I like a good strong irish breakfast tea with a good deal of milk, sweetened with brown sugar.
My favorite is also Irish Breakfast Tea (from Trader Joe's), with milk and sugar (well, stevia) of course.
I'm a big fan of black tea...
English Breakfast loose leaf does it for me; in a mug (tea plus paper cups = ew). I love adding milk to it, which makes it a fave comfort food, but I drink it plain often as well.
I spent a lot of time in Japan and few things beat a lovely green tea. However, I am currently in love with Lady Grey tea, its sweet and fragrant, with just a touch of sugar and I am in heaven
I love Good Earth sweet & spicy tea. It reminds me of Big Red gum.
This machine looks pretty cool. I like the way it brews the tea for a specified time and then releases it. I tend to leave the tea leaves in my mesh infuser for far too long.
BTW, when I completed the form I was brought to "See My Artwork! Contest Smackdown: Friday, 11:23am" which at least is a change from being directed to "The Perfect Scoop." =D
I love Orange Pekoe Tea!
ooh, genmaimatcha... so toasty/yummy. But, l also love rooibos, english breakfast, jasmine, and pretty much any tea.
Chai Tea. From scratch. With lots of ginger and anise.
My new favorite tea is PG Tips. Absolutely delightful to start my morning with!
Sure would be good to win!
I love Chai tea, would love to try making it from scratch too, I think this tea maker would be a boon for that.
Orange Pekoe is so smooth and refreshing, so I'd have to type that it's my favorite.
I love green tea. I have a cup at work every morning.
I love green tea! I have a cup of it every morning.
I love Golden Phoenix Oolong by Rishi.
I love Adagio's Assam Melody
In the morning, I like a good English Breakfast with milk and honey. Afternoons are for Ginseng Peppermint.
Chai Tea is my favorite, would love to try out this machine!
uh... after finishing the form I left a comment, but it looked like a different thread? so.. again:
LUST LUST LUST.. winning this would be LOVE!!
mm, it'd be SO nice to wake up and have a whole POT of favorite black currant or fruits of the forest tea!! just moved & my teacup collection, creamer & sugar were LOST! :( I'm a tea-only girl, and THIS would definitely make it better.. what a great giveaway!!
My mom is the big tea drinker in our family, she'd love this. I do enjoy Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime or Lemon Zinger with plenty of honey to soothe a sore throat.
Tea for Two!
My very favorite is pu'erh (I order from Upton)! But I have a number of others I'd love to try in this too.
This is something I really could use. Currently I'm using my coffee pot to brew my green tea and at times my green tea has a coffee taste.
Oh, I do love Adagio... this will soon be an addition to my kitchen, whee!
I drink so much tea its unreal. Even during the summer, but I know it's going to increase this fall. Frankly, I'm tired of washing teapots (hard to get inside the little hole in the top) and buying teabags, and this gadget would be so wonderful.
It's a toss up between English Breakfast and Earl Grey.
Great looking tea machine. Would love to win it!
Oooh... something pretty and useful! All those coffee drinkers who turn their noses up at me, a tea-only drinker, can turn green with envy when they see this sitting on my counter!
earl gray is my favorite go-to. but i'm a big fan of all the floral and fruity fresh teas that my favorite stand sells at the farmer's market.
pomegranate green tea or some homemade (by a friend) hybiscus mint.
Teaism's (this awesome tea shop/cafe in Washington, DC) Earl Grey is my favorite at this point. Their Jasmine Pearl tea is also awesome.
I'm also a sucker for any tea that has chocolate in the mix somewhere...
Early Grey is my favorite, but I love trying new and different teas too!
Flower Valley Herbal Blend and Jasmine Pearls, from Carol's Special Teas are my favorite teas.
Kusmi Anastacia or flower tea
I need to drink more tea, and back off on the coffee. This would be a great incentive. I like green tea, and one with
an anise flavor.
I was once served a delicious tea with a heavenly vanilla aftertaste. I'd give anything to remember what it was called or who makes it! Also love Jasmine Pearls...
My favorite is an Earl Grey blend from Teh Ku teas called Earl Grey de la Creme. It's Earl Grey with mallow flowers... sweet and creamy without milk!
i like green
Mint is my favorite, but I also like Chai, Jasmine, Market Spice, peach, oolong, chamomile, white tea. The list goes on and on. This machine won't be wasted on me!
Adagio rocks...best tea makers and teas ever!
I love the mint tea and English Breakfast
Chinese hand rolled dragon pearl tea
jasmine green for sure
Harney and Sons Paris tea
jasmine white tea is my favorite
i love blooming flower tea! it impresses the guests
Awesome giveaway! We have a few tea drinkers here, myself included. We'd love this!
chamomile-ginger is my favorite
Chinese black tea: golden dianhong.
It's buttery and smooth.
i'm still a tea novice but so far i like the fruity/flowery ones the best.
this looks great! I would brew some earl grey tea.
I love Celestial Seasonings Mandarin Orange tea. And I hope I win :)
I think I may have commented on the wrong post... please don't eliminate me... here is my comment on the correct one: my favorite tea is Oolong.
mmmmm.tea am a sucker for any tea
My all-time favorite tea was "Dark and Stormy Night" from the TeaSource. They no longer carry it, so I'm digging their "Albert Square" blend instead. Yummy with milk & sugar.
(I must admit, if I don't win, this is *definitely* going on my Christmas list - it sounds GREAT!)
I love tea. This looks like a wonderful tea maker.
I love to have green tea in cooler afternoons and evenings. You can pry my morning coffee from my cold, dead hands though.
Either a soothing cut of Rooibus tea with a drop of honey or a grand cup of Twinings loose English Breakfast with Milk and sugar (two lumps!).
This thing is so neat!!!
Earl Gray, Darjeeling, but right now a tea that we have in the office. No one knows where it was bought and when it is gone I am going to be sad.
Today my favorite tea is...genmaicha! Good luck me!
The Jasmine tea that comes in pearls is so delicate and healing. I also like the Rooibus tea. It is loaded with nutrition, has a light tartness, and is so soothing.
I love my green tea with roasted brown rice. When you add the hot water you smell the rice. It's my morning pick me up.
Sure would be good to win!
this would be so sweet!
I would love this
jasmine green for sure
Russian Caravan-I like strong tea with a pronounced flavor. No white tea for me!
tropical green tea, green dragonwell tea, china powder green tea, temple of heaven green tea, le palais de te's vanilla green tea and if i am at coffee bean, lavender mint green tea latte with soy. (why yes, yes i do like green tea!)
Darjeeling tastes best but I swallow whole green tea in water and then chew the cruchy teas that are left over for my health and I've actually gotten fond of it!
I drink tea everyday, I was raised on it Hot or cold I don't care but I must drink tea--no soda or coffee for me I love fruit teas--raspberry, orange, lemon good green or white tea
love Earl Grey
What a delightful giveaway! Thank you!
I go through cycles of other favorites, but I always seem to come back to Earl Grey for black tea, and rooibus for herb. I'm currently on a lavender kick: black tea with lavender, and chamomile with lavender before bed.
green tea, green tea, and more green tea: that's how we roll.
I love oolongs! Theres a dragon eye oolong that I love that has a hint of peach.
I don't know if I can choose just one tea! I love a blend of yerba mate and black tea in the morning to start my day.
Oolong or Camomile.
My family enjoys strong Earl Grey. Thanks!
I switch between english breakfast, earl grey, and chai.
Earl Grey, although such a device would surely aid a young teafarer in discovering new favorites...
I generally enjoy English Breakfast the most.
Oooh too many choices but I do love a roasted green. Tea all day, every day!
Yerba mate, matcha, green.
I'm partial to Adagio's Yunnan Gold
I love all the teas!
English Breakfast is great. I also like teas with a bit of mint.
I just bought this Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla Chammomile tea that smells and tastes amazing.
Irish breakfast
I love tea.
Tea time with biscuits.
Wow! TEA!
I like green and chai tea. Yum!
Count me in! Pretty please! ;)
My fav tea is Pear Caramel from In Cahoots for Tea in Great Falls, Montana.
Would love this! I'm a big tea drinker.
My absolute favorite tea is from the Republic of Tea: Blackberry Sage:
Tea For Wisdom--The soft taste and sweet aroma of fresh blackberries is experienced with the first sip of this fruity tea. Subtle undertones of cool white sage add a balanced finish.
Nothing like hot tea on a cold day!
My favorites are chamomile, horsetail grass, and green tea. :)
Goes great with buttered toast.
I *love* tea, rarely ever drink coffee. I would share this with my fabulous co-workers and stop going to that chain we all love to hate. I like flavored black teas, especially mango or other fruits. No milk, a hint of sugar or honey. Perfect.
now that the summer is basically over, this would be an excellent way to kick off fall!
Whole leaf Darjeeling if my favorite. Numi is my favorite brand of bagged tea.
Black tea is my favorite
Lapsang Souchong. So smoky and tasty.
Right now Jasmine Green Tea is my favorite.
I love Keemun tea with cream and sugar.
ohmygoodness! A TEA maker! Here I was all set to pass by, thinking it was (yet another) "cawfee maka" but this is adorable! And I'd use it!
English Breakfast tea is so soothing. mmm.
Green Tea with Ginger
Chinese red.
Green tea.
Green tea with a little lemon
I like raspberry green tea.

I need a good tea maker!
I love tea! I love Earl Grey! lots of milk and sugar, please
I love tea! I love Earl Grey! lots of milk and sugar, please
My favorite is white tea. It has a lot of antioxidants.
Raspberry tea is the usual.
Favorite tea is hard: green, ginseng, Yogi Mayan cocoa spice, any good oolong.
earl grey, of course. the organic from tea gschwendner is particularly good.
My boyfriend would love this if I won it for him - he likes green tea.
My favorite tea is oolong.
I have an apple cinnamon blend that I just love! Thanks for the great contest!
I love persian tea... and this is the nicest tea maker I think I have seen in a long time!

i really love tea.

chai, with not too much ginger.
please let natolee win so she can make delicious tea for me.
I'm an earl grey man
I am a big fan of Adagio's line of actual teas. I've never tried any of their teaware or appliances, so I'm excited to have the chance! Especially now that the weather is finally getting a bit cooler in Minneapolis but I left my beautiful little tea kettle in Portland when I moved this summer!
I like chamomile tea and peppermint tea.
I love tea this will be nice to win.
my current favorite is peach ginger tea
Big fan of tea in all forms!
Earl grey has always been a fav of mine
pan fired green tea
I love Earl Grey - it's been my favorite for a long, long time :)
tension-reliever tea
I love Tazo Calming tea. It's great to help really wind down for the day.
I'm a big fan of plain old Lipton tea, but we also make our own Russian Tea.
I like the peppermint tea Aveda sells in their salons, and I like many of Teavana black and holiday teas. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Vanilla Caramel Truffle tea from Lipton is my favorite at the moment, but I change my favorite somewhat often. I like this type right now parly because of the pyramid tea bags that allow Lipton to use bigger tea leaves almost like loose tea.
I love Yogi Detox tea and their Bedtime Tea.
Earl Grey is always a winner!!!
I found a great English Toffee tea to which I add fat free half-and-half. It tastes just like a candy bar! Awesome!
green tea.
Ti Kwan Yin oolong tea!
I like my own freshly harvested mint tea. Thanks for the contest.
My favorite is rooibos!
How awesome is that teamaker? Seriously. I've not seen anything like it.
My tea preferences really depend on time of day, and if I'm eating. At night, I love a good flavorful chammomile blend, in the morning a strong Earl Grey, and during the day with meals I love a light, hot green tea.
By the way, if this thing comes with a good Thai Iced Tea recipe, sign me up! :D
I like English Breakfast tea, Darjeeling, and green tea.
wow...how cool is that??? I've never seen anything like it!
I love ice tea!
Love an aromatic, peppery chai tea. Not too sweet though... still searching for the perfect brand.
I luv tea!
Ti Kwan Yin oolong tea is my absolute favorite
I am VERY addicted to tea. I drink at least a gallon a week. Boy, would this ever feed my addiction!!!
Green Tea is my fave.
What a fabulous machine. As for tea, my favorite is Earl Grey.
Black tea!
Orange Pekoe Tea
Mixing Blueberry Bliss and Rooibos Peach from Teavana is the only tea that matters.
As an avid tea drinker (and tea blogger), I would be thrilled to win this fabulous prize. My favorite type of tea would have to be green tea (adagio's genmai chai is wonderful).
I love Chai Tea!
I like raspberry flavored tea.
My favorite Ice Tea is raspberry Tea.
I'd love to give this to My Husband for Christmas!
I have tons of loose tea sitting around and would love to win this!
I like black tea and green tea best! This would be perfect for my counter!
I love to dry fresh mint and then boil/strain it for the best mint tea ever. A little raw honey and its perfect! Yum!
I really enjoy Kalahari Organic Tea's organic Rooibos Red Tea, premium green tea, oolong tea and chocolate tea.

Canola oil safety?
Recently I've received many questions about the safety of canola oil. The most comprehensive collection of concerns are presented on the Weston A. Price website.
I formulate a great many homemade diet recipes with organic canola oil because it has a very good balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. I am convinced of the safety and sustainability of the oil as long as it comes from a reputable organic producer (which is admittedly harder and harder to find - see this NYT article on organic companies being controlled by Big Ag - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/08/business/organic-food-purists-worry-about-big-companies-influence.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0)
Below are the concerns listed on the Weston A. Price page, and the real story if you dig further. I'm open to argument and learning differently on this subject, but you had better be able to produce meaningful peer-reviewed scientific references to back up your point of view. This means large epidemiologic studies or clinical trials in people or dogs/cats. Test tube and lab animal studies don't count.
1. Canola oil is associated with fibrotic lesions in the heart
a. The studies cited are all lab animal studies conducted in rats artificially prone to cardiovascular disease. It is well established that these kinds of experimental studies have limited applicability to clinical patients, especially considering the fact that dogs and cats do not develop atherosclerosis and other types of heart disease typically seen in humans and these experimental animals.
b. In addition, the review of these studies specifically shows that the results are conflicting, and that the conclusion is that the critical factor in development of cardiovascular disease in these animals was the *balance* of fats in the diet, and not the mere presence of canola oil or omega-3 fatty acids. Almost all pet diets are balanced with saturated and polyunsaturated fats, containing a high level of animal fats (which are touted by Weston A Price as the healthiest of fats).
2. Canola oil causes vitamin E deficiency
a. All omega-3 fatty acids cause Vitamin E depletion in the body. A more powerful omega-3 fatty acid source - fish oil- depletes Vitamin E the even more rapidly. This is why all commercial omega-3 fatty acid supplements should be fortified with Vitamin E.
3. Canola oil causes platelet changes
a. Platelet changes are not unique to canola oil - fish oil and other omega-3 fatty acids also cause platelet and blood coagulation changes. This is actually utilized by cardiologists when they recommend fish oil for human cardiovascular patients to reduce the risk of stroke.
4. Canola oil causes shortened life spans in stroke prone rats when it is the only oil in the animals' diet.
a. Not only are these rats not in any way clinically relevant to people who develop strokes, much less dogs and cats, but the experimental situation was artificial - the sole fat in the diet was canola oil. This would be nearly impossible to replicate in any real-life management situation for dogs and cats, and certainly bears no relationship to the fat balance in normal pet foods or healthy human diets. In addition, no food formulator would attempt it as that would clearly lead to nutritional deficiencies in dogs and cats.
5. Canola oil causes growth retardation
a. This claim is not referenced and not explained in the report - they say only that experimental animals given soy and canola oil-based diets grew better when coconut oil was added to the diet. This is not the same as growth retardation and could be explained simply by supplying certain fatty acids in the coconut oil that are essential or conditionally essential in those animals.
6. That all of these issues are mitigated when saturated fats are added to the diet and that the problems seem to be related to high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
a. Again, no food formulator would attempt to supply all dietary fat as canola oil or any other single source unless it was biologically appropriate. In dog and cat diets, a small amount of canola oil (in relation to the large amount of animal fat) supplies omega -3 fatty acid (ALA) that is essential in dogs and cats. This fatty acid is not available in the fat of animals raised by modern agricultural methods and so must be supplemented in the diet.
7. The paper reports increased rates of lung cancer in women who cook with canola oil.
The source is a Wall Street Journal article - this is not a scientific, critical look at actual epidemiologic associations and cannot be considered a credible claim.
8. Processing of canola oil leads to the introduction of trans-fatty acids.
It depends on the manufacturer – I would call them to get their trans-fatty acid analyzed levels.
9.The report implies that the original development of the commercial plant was via modern GMO methods, which is untrue.
"Seed splitting" is simply partitioning the harvested seeds so for analysis by gas liquid chromatography for certain genetic traits, and based on the results of that testing, the other half of seeds with the most desirable characteristics were selected for the breeding program. It is nothing but seed hybridization. The paper additionally claims that almost all canola oil is sourced from genetically modified plants. My understanding is that this is true, and I recommend ONLY organic canola oil for my patients.

Preventing Weight Loss During Chemotherapy
Weight loss during cancer therapy is extremely common because patients either feel ill, cannot keep their food down, or cannot smell or taste it well. Significant weight loss is a poor prognostic indicator, at least in people, and presumably in pets as well. If you were to check out the web pages of major cancer centers such as M.D. Anderson in Texas, you'd find multiple references on how to maintain your weight during chemotherapy and radiation treatment. My personal belief is that we need to try just as hard in canine and feline cancer patients.
Recently, one of my favorite patients developed cancer and his owner, an animal behaviorist, decided to start chemo. We discussed the challenges of maintaining his appetite and body weight, and using her comprehensive knowledge of animal behavior, she made certain he lost very little weight indeed.
It involved alot of thought, and use of principles that most of us may not be familiar with or just don't consider putting into practice. I was so encouraged by her success that I asked her to share her methods. If your dog or cat has cancer, whether undergoingg treatment or not, you may want to check it out:
Thanks a million to Allison Martin for sharing her insights, and to Brody for inspiring her!

No other BLUE dry or can pet foods are involved in this recall, and only the specific code dates of these products are involved.
To date there have been 36 cases nationwide of dogs reported with symptoms consistent with elevated Vitamin D in their systems while feeding on these specific productions of the products. In all cases the symptoms have subsided upon discontinuing feeding these products, with no apparent long term health consequences.
Blue Buffalo learned of this potential eondition in its products when it received reports of dogs diagnosed with high Vitamin D levels while feeding on the products from these specifie production runs. On further investigation it was learned that a sequencing error had occurred at the supplier of the dry ingredients for these products. Immediately before producing the ingredients for these specific production runs, the supplier had run a product for another customer that contained a more potent form of Vitamin D used in chicken feeds. It is now believed that there was some level of carry over of this Vitamin D product into the ingredients for the specific manufacturing runs of the BLUE products, thereby increasing the Vitamin D activity to unacceptable levels in the Blue ingredients.
Consumers who have purchased any of the products being recalled are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-877-523-9114 from 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern Time or visit the Company web site at www.bluebuffalo.com/news9 for more information.

Hartz Mountain beef treats recalled, possible salmonella
The Hartz Mountain Corporation Recalls Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats Because of Possible Salmonella Health Risk
Hartz Consumer Affairs
(800) 275-1414
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- SECAUCUS, N.J. - September 3, 2010 - The Hartz Mountain Corporation is voluntarily recalling one specific lot of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats for Dogs due to concerns that one or more bags within the lot may have been potentially contaminated with Salmonella. Hartz is fully cooperating with the US Food and Drug Administration in this voluntary recall.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, all of whom are at particular risk from exposure and should avoid handling these products.
Salmonella symptoms may include fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea in both dogs and humans. Anyone experiencing the symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek immediate medical attention. Owners of dogs exhibiting these symptoms should also seek veterinary assistance.
Hartz Mountain Corporation is recalling 74,700 8-oz bags of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats for Dogs, lot code BZ0969101E, UPC number 32700-11519, which were imported by Hartz from a Brazilian supplier, Bertin S.A., and which were distributed to a number of customers in the United States. While regular testing conducted by Bertin (prior to shipment to the US) did not detect the presence of Salmonella in any packages of this product, random sample testing conducted by FDA did indicate the presence of Salmonella. Hartz is aggressively investigating the source of the problem.
Although Hartz has not received any reports of animals or humans becoming ill as a result of coming into contact with this product, Hartz is taking immediate steps to remove the product from all retail stores and distribution centers. Dog owners having purchased this product should check the lot code on their bag, and, if the code is not visible, or if the bag has lot code BZ0969101E imprinted thereon, they should immediately discontinue use of the product and discard it in a proper manner.
Consumers can contact Hartz at 1-800-275-1414 at any time with any questions they may have and for information on how to obtain reimbursement for purchased product.

There's some good news in the Halle Berry camp this week. Word has it the gorgeous Oscar winning actress is pregnant with baby number two! Talk about one brave move from this mama.
You wouldn't know it to look at her, but Berry is 46 years old. That means she's more than a decade past what doctors term the beginning of the "advanced maternal age."
Her 47th birthday is in August, and considering she's reportedly just about three months along, by the time the actress gives birth, she'll likely be 47.
So what is Berry crazy?
I don't think so. If anything, she knows what she wants, and she's going to get it. She's brave.
More from The Stir: Halle Berry's Baby Bump Likely Disappoints Daughter Nahla (PHOTO)
Just a few years ago when she was pregnant with now 5-year-old Nahla Aubry, Berry made it clear she wanted at least two kids. Unfortunately, life dealt her a crappy deck. She had a bitter break-up with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry to get through before she met fiance (and reported father-to-be) Olivier Martinez.
Now she and Olivier finally have their chance to have a child together. Good for them!
That's not to say Halle isn't taking a risk here. Getting pregnant after age 35 increases a woman's chances of everything from genetic disorders to prenatal medical and obstetric complications. Not to mention she now has to balance the exhausting job of parenting a just-turned 5-year-old with the exhausting job of carrying a baby around in your belly for nine months.
I have a 7-year-old, I'm not pregnant, I'm only in my 30s, and I'm exhausted! Just thinking about this whole thing makes me want to go take a long nap!
But it's not as if it CAN'T be done. According to the statistics, 1 in 5 American women now have their first baby at age 35 or beyond, and that includes Berry. She was 41 when got pregnant with Nahla, and the complications she experienced were no worse than any other woman's -- morning sickness, hot sweats...
And hey, she's rich. She can hire a nanny to help her out. Not to mention Olivier looks like he's pretty good with kids -- just check out that sweet picture of him carrying Nahla above. She's in good hands.
What do you think of Halle's big pregnancy announcement?
Image via Splash News
Congrats to her!!!
Much is made about the risk factor as you age, but it is only a couple of percentage points. It really isn't THAT big of a risk. I think too much is made of it. But then I will be a mom again at the 'advanced' age of 38. :D
Congrats to the both of them! I however wouldn't dare. I am 28 and my youngest is 2 (3 in May) and I'm happy. DH wants more, but I told him I refuse to have any kids past 25. My youngest barely made it with being born within one month of my 26 birthday. lol. I just don't want to be "old" chasing toddlers unless they are my grandkids. When I'm 46, my youngest will be 21 (oldest 28) and that's fine with me.
She really doesn't have to worry about being rested... she does have the money to afford a nanny if needed...
I had my last at 41. She's in terrific shape, she can afford to get as much help as she needs, her fiance is definitely going to help, she's gonna be fine. I never felt like an old, aching woman who couldn't keep up with any of her kids, and I didn't even have my first until 34. You're only as old as you feel.

NAPLES, Fla- The Naples Police are investigating a murder. It happened around 10:30 Sunday night in the 1200 block of 12th Avenue North, within the Lake Park neighborhood.
The incident began after a verbal argument, and physical altercation, between two men. The victim, Jon Wayne Joseph, 63, of 1155 12TH Street North, was located in the roadway with multiple stab wounds and died before police could get to him.
Police did arrest 37-year-old John Orr of Naples. He is charged with Second Degree Murder.
Police say Orr's clothing was heavily stained with blood as were his arms, legs and feet. Officer Collins confronted Orr who made excited utterances of defending himself from an attack. John Orr was detained and transported to police headquarters
for questioning. Orr's father, Joseph Orr had been the person who discovered Joseph's mortally wounded body in the street.
During a videotaped, post-Miranda interview, John Orr claimed he was walking through the neighborhood and asked a couple seated outside of 1155 12th Street North if they knew the whereabouts of someone. An argument ensued because the residents of this address did not welcome any affiliations with the person. As Orr explained his account, he kept walking onto 12th Avenue North when he was struck from behind by a subject on a bicycle.
Orr described it as being "rammed" into by Joseph and his bicycle, who he claimed to have never met before. Orr advised a physical confrontation ensued with him being thrown to the ground, being head butted three or four times and
having fingers jammed into his eyes. He claimed he had no choice but to reach for his pocket knife and fight for his life. Orr admitted stabbing Joseph in the abdomen and in the neck during his struggle to evade his assailant.
Joseph's wounds indicated a much more lethal attack from Orr. Stab wounds were visible in his eye, forearm and back and appeared to be numerous but due to the large quantity of blood; specific quantities of wounds and major arteries
and organs damaged were unavailable. Orr was also in possession of Joseph's ball cap during the interview.
Orr insisted on his right to self defense and was in disbelief when advised he was being arrested and charged with Second Degree Murder. Orr claimed to have had no idea his actions caused the death of Joseph. Additionally, Orr
displayed no visible injuries which would indicate he had been involved a violent life or death struggle.
Orr, standing at 5'10", weighing 190 lbs. and was a former soldier with the United States Army, admitted Joseph had no handgun, no knife or weapon yet he felt his life was in imminent danger from the 63-year-old man. Orr made no attempt to seek help for the dying man despite gaping wounds to the neck and abdomen of Joseph.
The investigation continues.

- Great food, but...peteVIPDined on 9/27/2014This was our second visit after we loved the fist one last year. Had a reservation for Sat night for a long time, and earlier on Saturday I Gave them heads up that we are 4 instead of 3. We were told that they have to move us outside as we would not fit. I don't know what kind of table that fits 3 does not fit 4... The problem with outside was that our corner table had no lighting, so soon after we finished appetizers the lighting was not adequate. Shame, as the food was really good. Disappointed. That table should not be used during dinner service, or guests should be advised to bring their own lighting.Special Features:

- Truely wonderfulSouthernboundDined on 9/19/2014Local fare had rib eye steak cooked perfectly, the wife had scallop (u10) cook perfectly. The menu is unquie that you pick a potien, then a preparation, then a sauce and two sides. The pace was just right and the Waite staff was there when needed but overbearing. Plates where cleared timely give time in between courses to cleanse the palette with a little wine and conversation ( which could be done at or below a moral voice level. Thank for a wonderful eating experience.Special Features:
- A very nice eveningCliffDined on 9/19/2014In a city with few really nice restaurants the Chop House is a winner. The menu is well thought out and quite complete. (Something for all) I have dined at the Chop House a number of times and was very happy to see that the over quality has been maintained at a very high level.Special Features:

- Devon is the BestMikeB22801Dined on 9/11/2014Devon has served us twice. She is attentive without being overly "hovering." She has a very pleasant personality and knows the menu - including the wines. The filet was wonderful, as always. One person in our group ordered the Sirloin and said that it was very tasty. As a long-time resident of Harrisonburg, I feel so pleased that we can support a restaurant at the level of Local Chop & Grill House. I look forward to many more special dining experiences here.Special Features:
- 50th Wedding Anniversary Dinnersojourner2Dined on 9/9/2014My husband and I enjoyed the always wonderful food at Local Chop to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The desserts were so intriguing that we both ordered two desserts because we couldn't decide. I had the scallops with the citric sauce which is my favorite entrée here, and my husband had the strip steak.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable EveningAndreaDined on 9/6/2014Overall the Local Chop & Grill House was wonderful. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was perfect and the food (mostly) was delicious. We started our meal and I ordered the Bacon and Eggs - it was really good! We all had beef - I had the ribeye with the horseradish sauce, my daughter had the filet mignon with a garlic sauce, my husband had the ribeye as well and my son had the strip steak. We all loved the meal and the accompanying sides (smashed potatoes, duck fries and asparagus). The only item not enjoyed was the caesar salad but it's a steakhouse so we'll return and just not order it. It was a wonderful evening!Special Features:
- First Visit of ManyLoveGoodFoodDined on 9/5/2014Read about the restaurant in Shenandoah Valley Electric Living publication of all places. Have been looking for a special place to eat since coming to the Valley six years ago. Local Chop House and Grill is by far the best we've found. Menu was easy to follow and quite comprehensive (although I don't remember seeing any lamb dishes on it!) and the sides were delicious - not your usual green beans and cole slaw. Dinner for two with bottle of wine and one dessert came to $120 which we thought was good value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always enjoyOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/4/2014We have always enjoyed the Local Chop & Grill House, as a couple, with friends and the service and food choices, presentation and preparation are consistently superior. It is a superior dining experience.Special Features:
- Great Birthday DinnerRxcomputeVIPDined on 9/2/2014We enjoyed a wonderful Birthday dinner for a party of 3 on a Tuesday at 7:30 pm. Great waiter service. Excellent Filet Mignon and Trout and Sirloin. Excellent Sticky Toffee Cake for dessert (we checked out this dessert all over Scotland and this equals the best there.Special Features:
- Over Price and SaltyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/201412 dollars for a shot (not a jigger) of Glenlivet scotch is what I would expect to pay in Manhattan or London not Harrisonburg. Also the entrees are too expensive, and the sodium content of the meal was overbearing, and I am a salt-aholic. The service was impeccable and the meat and side dishes were cooked to perfection (except the salt).
- Nice Anniversary Dinner ChoiceAriesEaterDined on 8/30/2014Having eaten at The Local Chop & Grill House numerous times, I was pleased that the overall high quality of the food still exists. Cheese plate appetizer was interesting, peach salad was unfortunately just okay (greens were bitter and peach slices were super thin with little flavor), petite filet was delicious as were the mashed potatoes and asparagus sides. No room for dessert; however, I would have been tempted if there was something light and different on the menu; but same offerings of Crème Brulee, ice cream, cheesecake, etc. I really like this restaurant for 'special' occasions as it is a bit on the pricey side but if the food is high quality, worth the money. I would like to see a bit more variety though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never DisappointsOTvipNdcVIPDined on 8/29/2014My wife & I have been to the Local Chop House each year for the past 3 years. The quality of the food has remained uniquely consistent, which is to say it's awesome. For seating, if you are a party of 2, ask for a table on the 2nd level by the windows. It is quieter, more romantic, w/ a view. For appys, the charcuterie plate is excellent--all local meats & homemade sauces. For the entrée, you must choose steak. It's a chop house, after all. The 12 oz rib-eye is a favorite. Select the House rub, for a nice, flavorful seasoning. Don't worry about the chef not cooking the steak to your liking. They get it right every time. The dipping sauces are all safe bets but my fave is the duck demi. For sides, go w/ the duck fat fries and asparagus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Valley Favoritevalleyfox8Dined on 8/28/2014We found this place by accident a couple of years ago and have loved it ever since for anything remotely resembling a special occasion. Fantastic food, great variety, and the wait staff is so knowledgeable about the menu- they are always able to make recommendations for gluten-free options.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Still my favorite place to eat.JMYowellDined on 8/22/2014We were driving through Harrisonburg, VA again and I just had to stop here for dinner. We ate here in 2011 when we were down visiting JMU on out way farther south (we are alumni). It was just as good as I remember. We eat out a fair amount in Northern VA and I still tell people this is my favorite place to eat! It is almost worth the 2 hour drive just come here!Special Features:
- Excited to returndougkerr49Dined on 8/21/2014I ate at Local on the way back from a trip. I couldn't wait to take my wife there. It took a year to get back but it was worth the wait.Special Features:
- local gardens and farmsgfdiningDined on 8/20/2014Excellent food!Farm fresh and plenty of gluten free items to choose from. Attentive service, just by far the best restaurant in the area!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingexserverDined on 8/20/2014We came in to celebrate a very special occasion and were not impressed at all. Our server was almost non-existent and trying to get her attention was nearly impossible. She ignored us completely after our dinner was served and we had to flag her down to get our bills, even though we would have preferred to stay for dessert and after-dinner drinks. During dinner, refills on sauces took over 20 minutes and beverage refill orders never showed up. Service in the bar after dinner was much better than service in the restaurant.
- Awesome dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/19/2014We had a wonderful first time dinner. Peach salad was excellent. All the Steaks were great and frozen mousse was very tasty. We booked our reservation for JMU parent's weekend already!Special Features:
- EXCELLENTZmanDined on 8/16/2014Great restaurant and bar area. First rate entrees and service Harrisonburg's best.Special Features:
- Great service. Nice oasis.VermontskiDined on 8/15/2014We were driving north and our route took us through Harrisonburg, VA. Found Local Chop & Grill House online, and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a cocktail and meal after 11 hours of driving. The service was prompt and courteous. My wife ordered the small filet, which was a good cut of beef cooked perfectly. My chili was nice and spicy, with good chunks of beef inside. My only disappointment was their chopped salad. First, it didn't come chopped. Second, I thought it was a little light on all of the ingredients other than the mixed greens. All in all, though, a nice oasis in an unfamiliar town.Special Features:
- Lives up to the hype!JesseDined on 8/15/2014We visited Local Chop & Grill while staying at Massanutten Resort about 30 minutes away. The option to choose your protein, rub and sauce looked intriguing and we could not have been happier! My husband had the ribeye and I had scallops - both were so delicious you didn't even need the sauces! Sides were delicious and so were the desserts - cheesecake and chocolate mousse. Our server Jill was great and had excellent recommendations for what sauce paired well with each entree. I wish we lived closer so we could come back! Great diverse wine selection and craft been selection too.Special Features:
- Harrisonburg's BestPKDIEMDined on 8/15/2014Chef Ryan continues to prove that he is one of the best chef's in all of Virginia and this is Harrrisonburg's standout restaurant by far. Outstanding quality ingredients, many sourced from the extensive local farming in the area. The regular menu is simple and features great apps and a 'select a protein, preparation, sauce and sides'. The bar menu is fantastic small bites, and the special 'farm to fork' meals are Ryan's specialty when his creativity shines the brightest with prix fixe using a few local farms and wineries to build a multi-course feast!Special Features:

If you're looking for the perfect place to have a nice meal the Chop House is the place to come. Their tasty food and classy ambiance makes it the best fine dining experience in the area. I have nothing but good things to say about all of my visits. The food is superb and the service is excellent! In addition, if you're looking for something a little more casual, their bar area is a great place to relax and grab a drink with friends. A very laid back atmosphere with live music and performances.Special Features:

Our server explained all the menu options and made recommendations. The food was prepared perfectly and the service was excellent. This was our first time at the Local Chop & Grill House, but it won't be our last. The whole experience was top-notch.Special Features:
- Gem in Harrisonburg VAMUGgerDined on 8/6/2014Local Chop & Grill was a vacation find for us! My wife & I enjoyed the "DIY" menu - pick your meat to have grilled (or seafood or tofu or cauliflower), choose from 3 rubs, & add one of 12 sauces to go with your entree. Then pick two of the 8 sides available, and you've got a chef to put it all together for you. Our meal - Oysters Rockefeller, steak, duck breast, polenta with roasted tomatoes, mushroom spinach gratin, creme brulee & blackberry sorbet, along with great cocktails and wine - was first class & expertly prepared. All in all, the ambiance (a former poultry & egg exchange building), food & price were right. Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Long known for its colorful, Latin-inspired underwear, the Miami-based company has now brought that same sensibility to the sock market. The launch line presented three distinct collections: a mercerized cotton offering with breathability and stretch attributes sported polka dots and color-blocked patterns as well as bright solids and stripes; a more luxurious blend of rayon fiber, polyester and spandex with a soft hand were offered in an array of geometric patterns, and a cotton Modal grouping called papi Pride focused on a rainbow color scheme indicative of its targeting of the gay community.

Actually these add-ons increase situational awareness. As opposed to have a large amount of of combat messages cluttering your screen or having to look for the right icons you can have a large visual indicator that an item has procced or a reactionary ability is ready. This allows the gamer to spend more time looking in the middle of the screen at the field of battle. As an extreme I certain that if things like simpler visual notifications made one worse at a task or catered to those less "skilled" the Air Force would not use Heads Up Displays in fighter aircraft.

Among energy companies tracked by 24/7, the sharpest increases in short interest came in top pipeline MLPs Kinder Morgan (KMP) and Enterprise (EPD). With the pipeline partnerships' business model a proven winner, the increase in short interest looks like a bet against the pipeline companies based on debt levels and shrinking cash flows as demand slackens.

The other day a press wire came across " International banks will have a short fall of 618,000 billion dollars' I thought to myself " Great more problems for BAC", It was trading around that 9.90 level. but the market was definitely on the uptick and then broke to the upside big to up 125 on the dow and the international banks shot up strongly, WHAT I said. Then more press news" Dodd and Frank bill relaxed, Volcker rule pushed till the end of 2013" Then " 40 republican's go to Obama". That came out at 11.30. Some one before we knew. Yes price action matters, but who knew about these government moves before us? It seems self apparent. If these officials are placing bets on the January decision of the EPA's ruling on fracking just to line their pockets again, which they still can, then their cash should be put in escrow. I do believe the EPA will be smart and work with these companies so that they can continue working in the U.S.A. cost effectively. Shell is moving their headquarters to China. Maybe politics should be viewed as a whole as a calling. Still long BHI.
If you were to do a technical analysis of KMP's unit price, you would find that what you described is perhaps a resistance level at the $86 level.
