Find out how we produce our information
AC chemotherapy is a combination chemotherapy treatment used to treat breast cancer.
This information is best when read with our general information about chemotherapy and breast cancer.
AC chemotherapy is named after the initials of the drugs used for treatment. The drugs are:
You will be given AC in the chemotherapy day unit. A chemotherapy nurse will give it to you. During treatment, you will usually see a cancer doctor, a chemotherapy nurse or a specialist nurse. This is who we mean when we mention doctor or nurse in this information.
Before or on the day of treatment, a nurse or person trained to take blood (phlebotomist) will take a blood sample from you. This is to check that it is okay for you to have chemotherapy.
You will also see a doctor or nurse before you have chemotherapy. They will ask you about how you have been. If your blood results are all right on the day of your treatment, the pharmacist will prepare your chemotherapy. Your nurse will tell you when your treatment is likely to be ready.
Your nurse will give you anti-sickness (anti-emetic) drugs before you start. AC is then given through one of the following ways:
Your nurse will give you doxorubicin (a red fluid) and cyclophosphamide. They will give the drugs as slow injections directly into your vein, with a drip (infusion) to flush them through. They should take 5-10 minutes each.
Sometimes cyclophosphamide is given as a drip into your cannula or line. The drip will go through a pump. This gives you the treatment over a set time.
Some people might have side effects while they are having the chemotherapy.
If this happens when you're having doxorubicin, it can damage the tissue around the vein. This is called extravasation. Tell the nurse straight away if you have any stinging, pain, redness or swelling around the vein. Extravasation is not common but if it happens it's important that it's dealt with quickly. If you get any of these symptoms after you get home, contact the doctor or nurse straight away on the number they gave you.
Some people may have hot flushes, a feeling of having a blocked nose and a strange taste when cyclophosphamide is being given. This doesn't last for long. But if you notice this, ask the nurse to slow down the drip. This will reduce these symptoms.
You may suddenly feel warm and your face may get red while the doxorubicin is being given. This should only last a few minutes.
You will have chemotherapy as a course of several sessions (or cycles) of treatment over a few months. On the first day of each cycle, you will have doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. You will then have no chemotherapy for the next 20 days. You will start each new cycle 21 days after the last one. You will have four to six cycles of AC.
The nurse or pharmacist will give you anti-sickness (anti-emetic) drugs to take at home. Take all your tablets exactly as explained.
We explain the most common side effects of AC here. But we don't include all the rare ones that are unlikely to affect you.
You may get some of the side effects we mention but you are very unlikely to get all of them. Always tell your doctor or nurse about the side effects you have.
Your doctor can prescribe drugs to help control some side effects. It is very important to take them exactly as your nurse or pharmacist has explained. This means they will be more likely to work better for you. Your nurse will give you advice about managing your side effects.
After your treatment is over, the side effects will start to improve.
Sometimes cancer drugs can result in very serious side effects, which rarely may be life-threatening. Your cancer doctor and nurse can explain the risk of these side effects to you.
Your nurse will give you telephone numbers for the hospital. You can call them if you feel unwell or need advice any time of day or night. Save these numbers in your phone or keep them somewhere safe.
We are not able to list every side effect for this treatment here, particularly the rarer ones. For more detailed information you can visit the electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC).
AC can reduce the number of white cells in your blood. This will make you more likely to get an infection. When they are low it's called neutropenia.
Contact the hospital straight away on the contact number you've been given if:
Your white cells usually increase steadily and return to normal before your next treatment. You will have a blood test before having more chemotherapy. If your blood cells are still low, your doctor may delay your treatment for a short time.
AC can reduce the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets are cells that help the blood to clot. Tell your doctor if you have any bruising or bleeding you can't explain. This includes nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood spots or rashes on the skin. Some people may need a drip to give them extra platelets.
AC can reduce the number of red cells in your blood. These cells carry oxygen around the body. If they are low, you may be tired and breathless. Tell your doctor or nurse if you feel like this. If you are very anaemic, you may need a drip to give you extra red blood cells (blood transfusion).
Cyclophosphamide may irritate your bladder and cause discomfort when you pass urine. Drink at least two litres (three and a half pints) of fluids during the 24 hours following chemotherapy. It is also important to empty your bladder regularly and to try to pass urine as soon as you feel the need to go.
Contact the hospital straight away if you feel any discomfort or stinging when you pass urine, or if you notice any blood in it.
Your urine may be a pink-red colour for up to 48 hours after you've had your treatment. This is due to the colour of doxorubicin.
This may happen in the first few days after chemotherapy. Your doctor will prescribe anti-sickness (anti-emetic) drugs to help prevent or control sickness. Take the drugs exactly as your nurse or pharmacist explains to you. It's easier to prevent sickness than to treat it after it has started.
If you still feel sick or are vomiting, contact the hospital as soon as possible. They can give you advice and change the anti-sickness drug to one that works better for you.
Feeling very tired is a common side effect. It's often worse towards the end of treatment and for some weeks after it's finished. Try to pace yourself and get as much rest as you need. It helps to balance this with some gentle exercise, such as short walks. If you feel sleepy, don't drive or operate machinery.
Your mouth may become sore and you may get ulcers. This can make you more likely to get an infection in your mouth. Gently clean your teeth and/or dentures morning and night and after meals. Use a soft-bristled or children's toothbrush. Your nurse might ask you to rinse your mouth regularly or use mouthwashes. It's important to follow any advice you are given and to drink plenty of fluids.
Tell your nurse or doctor if you have any problems with your mouth. They can prescribe medicines to prevent or treat mouth infections and reduce any soreness.
You may get a bitter or metallic taste in your mouth or find that food tastes different. This should go away when your treatment finishes. Try using herbs and spices (unless you have a sore mouth or ulcers) or strong-flavoured sauces to give your food more flavour. Sucking boiled sweets can sometimes help get rid of a bitter or metallic taste. Your nurse can give you more advice.
Your doctor can prescribe drugs to control diarrhoea. Let them know if it is severe or if it doesn't get better. Make sure you drink at least two litres (three and a half pints) of fluids every day if you have diarrhoea.
You usually lose all the hair on your head. Your eyelashes, eyebrows and other body hair may also thin or fall out. This usually starts after your first or second cycle of chemotherapy. It is almost always temporary and your hair will grow back after chemotherapy ends. It is important to cover your head to protect your scalp when you are out in the sun until your hair grows back. Your nurse can give you advice about coping with hair loss.
Scalp cooling is a way of lowering the temperature of the scalp to help reduce hair loss. Your nurse can tell you if this is an option for you.
AC may affect your skin. Your doctor or nurse can tell you what to expect. If your skin feels dry, try using an unperfumed moisturising cream every day. During treatment and for several months afterwards, you'll be more sensitive to the sun and your skin may burn more easily than usual. You can still go out in the sun, but use a suncream with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30, and cover up with clothing and a hat.
Your skin may darken. It will return to its normal colour after you finish treatment. If you've had radiotherapy, either recently or in the past, the area that was treated may become red or sore.
Always tell your doctor or nurse about any skin changes. They can give you advice and may prescribe creams or medicines to help. Any changes to your skin are usually temporary and improve when treatment finishes.
Your nails may become brittle and break easily. They may also get darker or discoloured, and/or you may get lines or ridges on them. These changes grow out after treatment finishes. Wearing gloves when washing dishes or using detergents will help protect your nails during treatment.
AC can affect how your kidneys and liver work. This is usually mild and goes back to normal after treatment. You will have blood tests before chemotherapy to check how well your kidneys and liver are working.
Your eyes may become watery and feel sore. Your doctor can prescribe eye drops to help with this. If your eyes get red and inflamed (conjunctivitis), tell your doctor. This is because you may need antibiotic eye drops. Cyclophosphamide may also cause blurry vision and/or eye pain. Always tell your doctor or nurse if you have eye pain or notice any change in your vision.
If this happens, let your doctor or nurse know. They can give you painkillers.
Doxorubicin can affect the way the heart works. You may have tests to see how well your heart is working before, during and sometimes after treatment.
If you have pain or tightness in your chest or feel breathless or notice changes to your heartbeat at any time during or after treatment, tell a doctor straight away. These symptoms can be caused by other conditions but it's important to get them checked by a doctor.
AC can cause changes to the lungs. Always tell your doctor if you develop wheezing, a cough, a fever or feel breathless. You should also let them know if any existing breathing problems get worse. If necessary, they can arrange for you to have tests to check your lungs.
It's important to let your doctor know straight away if you feel unwell or have any severe side effects, even if they're not mentioned above.
Cancer increases the chances of a blood clot (thrombosis) and chemotherapy can add to this. A clot can cause symptoms such as pain, redness and swelling in a leg, breathlessness and chest pain. Contact your doctor straight away if you have any of these symptoms. A blood clot is serious but your doctor can treat it with drugs that thin the blood. Your doctor or nurse can give you more information.
Some medicines, including ones you can buy in a shop or chemist, can interact with or be harmful when you are having chemotherapy. Tell your doctor about any medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, complementary therapies and herbal drugs.
AC may affect your fertility (being able to get pregnant or father a child). If you are worried about this, you can talk to your doctor or nurse before treatment starts.
AC can sometimes stop the ovaries working. You might not get a period every month and they may eventually stop. In some women this is temporary, but for others it is permanent and they start the menopause.
Your doctor will advise you not to become pregnant or to father a child during treatment. This is because the drugs may harm a developing baby. It's important to use effective contraception during and for a few months after chemotherapy. You can talk to your doctor or nurse before treatment starts.
If you have sex within the first couple of days of having chemotherapy, you need to use a condom. This is to protect your partner in case there is any chemotherapy in your semen or vaginal fluid.
Women are advised not to breastfeed during treatment and for a few months after. This is in case there is chemotherapy in their breast milk.
If you need to go into hospital for any reason other than cancer, always tell the doctors and nurses that you are having chemotherapy. Give them the contact details for your cancer doctor.
Talk to your cancer doctor or nurse if you think you need dental treatment. Always tell your dentist you are having chemotherapy.

Slankford needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 130 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
Stokes & Kopitsky, P.A.
We are an existing and successful Personal Injury Law Firm that needs a new sleek and modern logo. We have been in business for 30 years+, but we want to modernize all of our marketing and promotional materials. Logo will be used on stationary, mailers, newsletters, website, business cards and any promotional products. We do not do TV ad marketing or billboards, most of our clients are repeat or come from referrals. We want a unique logo to keep our name in the minds of all of our former clients and keep them recommending us or coming back. Our firm mainly handles auto accidents, personal injuries like slip and falls, and accidental death. The winning logo designer has potential work in the further re-branding of our firm. I promise prompt reply to your submissions and questions- I have an art background (but not in graphics) so I can communicate intelligently in regard to the visual and aesthetics of the logo design.
Our target audience is victims in Georgia (specifically Atlanta) injured in an auto accident where they were not at fault including car, truck, motorcycle and bicycle accidents. One of the attorneys is a sport cyclist, so we get many cycling accidents from the Atlanta cycling community as well. We represent victims of DUI related accidents as well as victims in accidental deaths. Victims of a slip and fall or an accident on a premises are also our audience. But we also want our logo to be memorable to our existing or former clients, so that they further refer us new clients.
Please use Photoshop PSD Vector Files and for the final design we would like print files too (In Design and Illustrator PSD etc). The logo design is to fit in a rectangle , but does not necessarily have to be a rectangular logo. Our current colors are blue and black, we'd like to see some examples in that scheme as well as new color schemes. We'd like the capability to add the line " Atlanta's Personal Injury Attorneys" underneath the logo to identify our type of law practice. It would be nice to see your design with and without that subtext.
Do: Modern, sleek, professional, sharp, clean and crisp lines that still make a bold statement. Maybe something playing with the initials SK to the left of the logo and then the firm name "Stokes & Kopitsky, P.A. Atlanta's Personal Injury Attorneys". We'd like the logo to translate into a favicon for our website (which we haven't updated yet), so maybe a sharp graphic or icon with the SK that could be used with or without the rest of the firm name on different things.
-example of a logo we like: http://www.jrlawfirm.com/
Don't: anything gender specific, too traditional or conservative, anything unreadable, no common legal icons, anything too cheesy or obvious

Non-profit health center displaying new areas during National Health Center Week
STERLING — The Sterling Area Health Center (SAHC), a not-for-profit physician's clinic, is inviting the public to come in and take a look at its new, larger patient waiting room, additional exam rooms and renovated lobby on Aug. 10, as a part of National Health Center Week (Aug. 9-15).
SAHC Chief Executive Officer Roger Rushlow says 4,000 square feet of new construction and renovation will be on display.
"Essentially, what we added was an extended (patient) waiting area and a revamped lobby and office area," Rushlow said. "We also put on a wing in the rear of the building that included an additional six exam rooms.
He added the wing added on has a lab area, nurses' office and a physician's office, which is the working area for family practice physician, Dr. John Urban.
Rushlow says the addition and renovations cost roughly $1 million, which was secured by the SAHC Board of Directors through a low-interest loan.
The open house begins on Monday at 3 p.m. Rushlow says elected officials will be on hand at the ceremony.
SAHC puts stimulus money to use
Funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that were allocated to the SAHC are helping pay for the center's after hours operations.
Rushlow says $185,000 was allotted to the center to assist in expenses for its twice-weekly after hours service, currently offered Mondays and Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
"It's only two days right now, because we're recruiting an additional physician's assistant," Rushlow said. "Once we get the PA on board, we'll extend that to six or seven days a week.
"There's no similar access in the whole county like that (after hours). A lot of people end up going to the emergency room, which frankly, is the most expensive [option]."
But on the federal stimulus front, SAHC has gotten more good news.
Rushlow says $482,000 is also being paid to the center over two years for what he called "capital bricks and mortar projects.
"We're going to be building a free-standing building here on the grounds that will house out mental health staff and administrative staff," he said, adding it will be an approximately 3,000 square foot structure and serve as the operating center for staff psychiatrists and counselors, as well as directors, etc.

'Bachelor Pad' Season 2 Will Have Three-Hour Premiere
Get ready for more Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi – three hours worth, in fact.
According to EW.com, ABC will air 'Bachelor Pad' over three hours when it returns for its second season on Mon., Aug. 8.
What will happen during said three hours? We're not exactly sure. Still, fans should expect plenty of drama, especially now that Girardi is dating another member inside the 'Bachelor Pad' – Kasey Kahl, from Ali's season of 'The Bachelorette.'
Among the other contestants competing for $250,000 (not to mention a chance at love) are exes Holly Durst and Michael Stagliano, and Gia Allemand, who infamously appeared on 'Bachelor Pad' season 1.

Rising Infection Rates, Stigma and Discrimination Addressed at AIDS 2012 Pre-Conference on Men Having Sex With Men and Transgender People
July 23, 2012
Men who have sex with men(MSM) remain at substantial risk for HIV infection in almost every nation across the globe. The situation is even more glaring in highincome nations such as the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Canada -- where overall HIV trends are declining except among Black MSM. And in many nations, discrimination, stigma, and criminalization laws present significant barriers to creating an AIDS-free generation.
These were just a few of the themes at Stigma to Strength: Strategies for MSM, Transgender People and Allies in a Shifting AIDS Landscape, the day-long pre-conference to the 19th International AIDS Conference sponsored by the The Global Forum on MSM & HIV. More than 800 delegates from 100-plus countries attended to discuss the health and human rights of MSM and transgender people, according to conference organizers. This was the International AIDS Conference's fifth biennial pre-conference and the largest so far.
Decriminalizing HIV
The forum opened with a plenary speech by Congresswoman Barbara Lee, the California Democrat and fierce advocate for HIV/AIDS funding. Lee recently introduced landmark anti-HIV criminalization legislation.
The Global Commission on HIV & the Law's Michael Kirby also spoke, slamming homophobic bias in research and prevention. "Homophobia is so irrational and unscientific," Kirby said to much applause. The United Nations-backed panel released a report two weeks ago that found punitive laws in more than 60 nations that criminalized HIV transmission or exposure "cost lives and stifle[d] the global AIDS response."
One young delegate from Nigeria agreed. "It's critical that we ensure people get comprehensive HIV prevention and other health services," said Olumide Makanjuola, the director of programs at The Initiative for Equal Rights, an Abuja-based NGO that advocates for sexual minorities.
Nigeria is one of four African nations that boast the death penalty for same-sex behavior -- and legislators recently considered more extreme legislation. "LGBT health rights are routinely violated in Nigeria," added Makanjuola.
15 Times More Likely to be HIV+
Perhaps the most compelling research was announced by Kevin Fenton, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. Dr. Fenton reminded the audience that there has been a soaring number of seroconversions among Black American men who have sex with men -- and new data show that "globally Black men who have sex with men are 15 times more likely to be HIV-positive."
The new data was published in the special July 2012 "HIV in Men Who Have Sex with Men" issue of The Lancet. The lead author: White House Office of National AIDS Policy's Gregorio Millett. Other contributors include Dr. Fenton, Emory University's David Malebranche, M.D., MPH, and Columbia University's Patrick A. Wilson, Ph.D.
"We see the tremendous variation from Africa to Canada, the Caribbean and elsewhere," said Dr. Fenton. "The most glaring disparity is in the United States."
The Real Work Begins
That trend is particularly "alarming" among Black MSM aged 13 to 19, according to CDC. New seroconversions have increased by 48 percent between 2006 and 2009.
But the "tide is turning" against the epidemic and there is finally potential that "we can have an AIDS-free generation" -- even among Black gay and bisexual men -- Dr. Fenton said after the preconference. "That means we have a range of highly effective tools in which we can bring this epidemic to an end. Now the real work begins of implementation, scaling up and targeting different tools to those communities at most risk."
Last week, the Food and Drug Administration approved the antiretroviral medication Truvada to reduce the risk of HIV infection in uninfected individuals, a strategy is known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Daily use of the cocktail -- a combination of Truvada and/or Viread -- has shown up to 75 percent efficacy in preventing HIV transmission.
This could ultimately become a powerful tool to use among Black gay men -- but with a major disclaimer. Adds Dr. Fenton: "PrEP is not going to be effective for everyone. We're going to have to target this to men who are at greatest risk for infection and are willing to take the medication as directed. And we've learned from various studies that adherence to the medication is critical. "
The MSMGF event also featured more than 20 breakout sessions. One that expanded on Fenton's plenary was "Strengthening the Response to HIV/AIDS among Ethnic Minority MSM and Transgender People in the Global North." Dr. Wilson moderated and panelists included Andrea Lamour-Harrington, a transgender black women who represented U.S. Positive Women's Network.
Lamour-Harrington was a public face to the "extreme" socioeconomic disparities faced by Black trans women, who are more than likely to be killed, suffer violence or sexual abuse, HIV/AIDS and discrimination.
"There are so many laws on the books that allow police to harass us," said Lamour-Harrington. "In Philadelphia there is a law called Obstruction of Highway.' Police can search me or ask for identification if I'm standing on the street. Most of those arrested are Black and Latino trans women. And the only way we can change these laws are through conferences such as these."

The website LDS History Blog is somewhat of an enigma. It doesn't have an About Me page, there's no telling how old the information is, and it's name is too generic. What is purports to do is provide LDS church members a place to upload ward, state, area and stake histories. There are some histories that include sources and the name of the author (I'm assuming that is the website owner as well). So for LDS church members in Arkansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin (these are the states that have histories currently) you may want to check out the histories posted. But I love the idea behind this website.
I would encourage genealogists who are current church goes, of any religion or denomination, to consider putting together histories of their local congregation. Even somthing simple could benefit generations years from now better understand their past. At least write up something that you can include in a history of your own life. Some ideas to write on include:
- Background history of the local church
- How long you've been a member there
- People you know in the church
- Leaders of the church
- Regular activities you participate in
- What a typical service is like
- What special sacraments or ordinances have you participated in or that take place there
- A synopsis of the denomination's beliefs
- Where the church is located and what's near it in the neighborhood, including photos

Fashion designer Cynthia Rowley designed a limited edition,
dress-up BAND-AID® that was sold exclusively at Cynthia Rowley stores,

An intriguing big man has emerged on the trading block that the Miami Heat could go after.
The Denver Nuggets are looking to deal center Timofey Mozgov, who has been unable to get much playing time on a deep team and has an expiring contract. Mozgov is aware he could be moved by the Feb. 21 trade deadline.
"It think it's logical, you can see that, trading me,'' Mozgov said in an interview with FOX Sports Florida. "I'm in my contract year. So if they can get something for me… I don't think it would be a surprise for me (to be traded).''
Miami is looking for a big man. It remains to be seen if the Heat could come up with an offer to entice the Nuggets for the 7-foot-1 Mozgov, making $2.79 million.
The Heat don't have a lot of assets that they would trade. They have young point guard Norris Cole, who makes $1.11 million and would be hard to give up. The Nuggets are set at point guard with Ty Lawson and Andre Miller, but multi-team deals are always possible.
The Heat also could dangle a first-round draft pick they are due from Philadelphia that is lottery protected. It would go to Miami as soon as next June if the 76ers don't make the playoffs.
"I heard Miami is trying to find a big guy,'' Mozgov said when asked about the Heat, who have had rebounding problems all season. "We'll see. I don't know (what might happen).''
"I feel bad for him because he's good enough to be on an NBA court,'' said Nuggets coach George Karl. "But I got four (post players) and I don't think if we divided it by four, that is the smart thing to do.''
"It's not easy,'' said Mozgov, who played well in the Olympics last summer for his native Russia while winning a bronze medal. "Last season, I played… But I still work hard in practice.''
Mozgov will be a restricted free agent this summer. If he's not traded by the deadline, Denver could end up losing him for nothing.

New business start-up checklist
New businesses require a good deal of hard work in order to start off with the highest chance of success. When starting a new business, one will want to be well-prepared before ever going online, seeing the first client, or accepting their first order. The key to this preparation is to know what must be done in order to succeed. This can be done with the assistance of checklists. There are two types of checklists that are useful when starting a new business. One of these is a business startup checklist and the other is a business plan checklist. Both of these will help ensure that the business has everything in place in order to have a successful launch and future.
Steps to follow when starting a business
When starting a business it is important to know what steps to follow. This is where creating a business startup checklist comes in handy. A checklist will outline what a new business owner needs in order to start his or her business. By following the plan, he or she will not forget any important steps and is less likely to be hindered by delays. As a person begins to form the new business checklist it is important to research what to include. Keep in mind, when starting a small business checklist, that some of the items on the list will be specific to online shopping sites or other Internet-based businesses. Other items are standard regardless of the type of business.
Creating a new business checklist
A new business checklist for an online store should indicate the need for obtaining the right tools to get the store online and secure. Online businesses need a web presence that stands out and is functional. A website will need to have a professional appearance, and user should be able to manage products and orders with minimal fuss. To do this a dependable ecommerce platform is needed. It should include ecommerce hosting, marketing assistance and apps that will make the site more functional. This should be at the top of the checklist for starting a business online. At Shopify, we offer all of these features to future and current entrepreneurs, including PCI compliant hosting and shopping cart.
Items needed to start a small business
There are other items that are needed when starting a small business. Checklists for online businesses should list the need for a reliable source for the product being sold. Even if a business is selling items that the entrepreneur is creating his or herself, there is still the need for a reliable source for the necessary materials to create the product. Having more than one source is also critical. If the business is hiring employees, a reminder to obtain an Employer Identification Number EIN should also be included on the checklist. Finding or creating a work space is another important item to appear on the list.
Arguably, one of the most essential steps to take prior to starting any business is the creation of a business plan. Not only is it a blueprint of the business, but it is frequently used by banks, lending agencies, and even private investors to make a decision on approving a small business loan. A well written business plan illustrates that the prospective business owner has done his or her research, has goals for the business both currently and in the future, and has a plan on how to accomplish those goals. A business plan checklist is helpful in ensuring that all elements of a good business plan are included. It creates an outline of what these elements are so that the individual does not exclude anything of importance.
Once your business plan checklist and your checklist for starting a business are complete, let Shopify help you fulfill many of your ecommerce needs. We have the tools to help you custom design your website or you can take advantage of our thousands of templates. Our ecommerce software will make it easy for you to manage products and customer's orders. In addition you can trust that your customer's information is secure. Visit our website today and check out all the ways that we can help make your business a success.

Germans and the Greek challenge
It is one of the consequences of the eurozone crisis that Greeks and Germans regard each other with suspicion.
There are many Germans who believe that helping Greece amounts to feeding money into a bottomless pit.
Many Greeks suspect that Berlin wants them out of the euro.
So any meeting between the Greek prime minister and the German chancellor draws attention. When they met today they were both formal with each other but were careful to smile a lot.
This was an early round in a drama which will play out during the autumn. Angela Merkel said again that the goal of the federal government is "that Greece is part of the eurozone and I want Greece to remain part of the eurozone".
She had some praise for the Greek leader. "I am deeply convinced," she said, "that the new Greek government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Samaras, is doing everything to solve the problems that Greece is facing".
She also spoke of a new beginning in the relationship between the two countries. The Greek leader, who has irritated the Germans in the past, would have been pleased with that statement.
But there was no commitment to give Greece new concessions or to guarantee that the country will get the next round of bailout money.
"What Greece can expect from Germany," the chancellor said, "is that we will not make premature judgements but will await reliable evidence, which for me means the troika report". The inspectors from the EU and the IMF will give their assessment of whether Greece is living up to its commitments in September. Only then will Angela Merkel decide whether Athens qualifies for further funding.
'Time is money'
Mr Samaras repeated a message he has been delivering to German papers all week. "We don't want more aid," he said, "but we need breathing space". He is thought to be looking for an extra two years to meet the savings targets. Yesterday the German finance minister said "more time would, in case of doubt, mean more money".
The Greek leader hit out at what he called the "toxic statements" that questioned whether Greece was about to leave the euro. Such speculation, he said, made privatisations impossible.
All of this is early skirmishing. The real questions will have to be addressed if the inspectors conclude that Greece is not just failing to meet its targets but cannot make the grade because of the collapse of the Greek economy.
There will be many in Germany who will conclude that "enough is enough". That is unlikely to be the view of the German chancellor. She said today that the euro "is more than just a currency, it's the idea of a united Europe". She went on to say that "a united Europe is irreversible".
The German leader, it seems, is preparing the ground to tell the German people that further sacrifices will have to be made to save the big idea, the grand project. It would be hard to let Greece go when she has declared a united Europe as "irreversible".
She is also risk-averse as a politician and would always fear the unknown of a Greek exit and the possibility of the markets then turning on Italy and Spain. So the expectation has to be of a "fudge", whereby a formula is found for Greece to muddle through.
The difficulty will come if Greece needs further funding. It would be very difficult to get the German parliament to agree to that, but watching Angela Merkel today it was hard to imagine her ever putting Greece in the situation of having to leave the euro and opening herself to the accusation that she had let down the European project.

So summer is not over in Nashville. I'm beginning to think it might be here to stay. Forever. And ever. It's pretty lame, really: I've got all of these kicky shawls and shawlettes I can only wear indoors … where the air conditioning is set at "frostbite". Then I wander out-of-doors — to go to class, buy some gummy bears, make copies, commit acts of tom foolery in front of my students — only to find myself over dressed.
That might be why I'm kissing my beer at the end of a very. long. day. In which I tried — and failed — to vanquish Faust I. I might have knit a row and a half of my Idlewood. The cowl is complete, the body is in an advanced state of shaping, and all systems are a go.
Except fall isn't here yet.


text: Hi, my name is Tina Fussell and I live in Doerun, Georgia. I love piecing but am not currently quilting my own tops. I purchased a Bailey machine with a stitch regulator on a Grace frame and a PCQuilter. I have yet to actually stitch anything. I am quite lost with the whole thing and wish I had someone who knew anything to come help me get it set up and actually running so I could at least practice. I hope to learn something that may help me here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – This weekend, the South Carolina Highway Patrol will kick the holiday DUI blitz. Troopers warn people looking to get jolly over the holidays they'll be out in full force into the new year.
Lance Corporal Sonny Collins with the South Carolina Highway Patrol says troopers report making 1,100 DUI arrests so far this year in Horry County. With all the holidays parties over the next few weeks, Collins says the likelihood of an impaired driver is much higher.
Troopers will target the main highways like Highway 17 Bypass and US 501 and they'll be looking for violators on secondary roads too.
During the next few weeks, state troopers will team up with local police departments. They'll have DUI checkpoints and saturation points, where drivers may notice a big presence of law enforcement in a specific area.
Collins reminds everyone this year it's not just about celebrating the holidays. They expect a lot of college bowl game parties since Carolina and Clemson are both playing in bowl games this season.
For those who will toast to the holidays, Collins says party goers should have a plan before even taking a sip from an alcoholic drink. "If you wait to get to a party, and then try to figure out a way to get home, after you've been drinking, well, the decisions you make will probably not be very good. So go ahead and plan on a taxi cab, plan for a designated driver. Or stay where you're going to go. Don't get on the highways after drinking alcohol."
Other big problem troopers tend to see more of this time of year are speeders and distracted drivers, especially nearby busy malls.
Collins says they'll be targeting those areas like on Hwy 501 near the outlet mall. "A lot of patience is needed as we go forward through these holidays. The roadways are going to be more congested."
Collins says citizens can help the Highway Patrol keep the highways safe. Anyone who thinks they see someone who appears to be driving drunk, can dial *HP and report it.

The annual league meetings get rolling tomorrow in Arizona. In about 80 minutes, I'll get flying to Arizona.
Yes, it'll be the first time I've flown since September 1997. I didn't have a cell phone at the time, and my hair was my own. Mostly.
On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we'll be broadcasting PFT Live and Pro Football Talk from the Biltmore resort in Phoenix, site of this year's meetings. The folks in Stamford have been working hard to put together a great guest list, which I'll hold off on mentioning for now, for fear of jinxing it.
I'll also be posting from the plane, if there's Internet access. And if I'm able to hunt and peck once I've downed a few glasses of wine and/or an Ambien. Or three.

Roman Shades
Roman shades, also known as fabric shades, combine the beauty of fabric window treatments with the easy operation of a shade. Elegant and versatile, roman shades come in a wide variety of styles and features from insulated, to room darkening and blackout, to light filtering and sheer. Roman shades have the style and options that can work well with almost any decor. Blindsgalore makes shopping for roman shades easy and very affordable. No need to leave your home. Simply pick your product and get it delivered right to your door. Choose from top-quality brands such as Bali, Levolor, Comfortex as well as our own high-quality signature line.
Fold Types
Roman Shades come in four different fold styles: relaxed, flat, plain, and hobbled. Flat and relaxed fold roman shades offer a more classic or modern look, while hobbled or plain fold styles lend themselves toward more formal, elegant settings and decors.
Relaxed Fold
A relaxed fold, also called a European or casual fold, has a smooth, drapery-like appearance with a gentle curve of fabric stacked on the bottom rail.
Flat Fold
A flat folded roman shade, also called a seamless fold, lies flat like a continuous piece of fabric, making it an ideal choice for bold patterns or prints.
Plain Fold
Plain folded romans offer a clean structure with seamed fold lines. Each pleat of fabric is backed with sturdy bars to strengthen the shade.
Hobbled Fold
Also known as a waterfall or teardrop, a hobbled fold has larger, looped pleats of fabric that run the entire height of the shade. It is similar to a plain fold, but with larger, more outstanding pleats.
Since roman shades are also called fabric shades, there are obviously plenty choices available to you. Many of the materials used are a polyester blend for durability and stain resistance. However, there are also linen, cotton, faux suede, patterned fabrics, weaves and textured fabrics available.
Adding to roman shades' versatility is the range of available lift options including, top down bottom up, cordless, and motorized. Consider cordless roman shades if you have small children in your home, as dangling cords can be dangerous. Plus, cordless shades offer a cleaner, uncluttered look. Top down bottom up allows you to lower the shade from the top, raise it from the bottom, or both - this is a nice privacy and light control feature. Motorized roman shades provide the ultimate in cordless convenience and is especially useful for high or hard to reach windows.
Light Control
Opacity refers to the light filtering properties of a material. Roman shades come in every opacity imaginable – from semi-sheer (light filtering) to semi-opaque (medium room darkening) to opaque (room darkening or blackout). There's no shortage of options. Blackout roman shades, which use opaque fabrics, are a perfect choice for bedrooms, nurseries, and home theaters.
Roman shades are available in a wide selection of colors. You can also choose roman shades with patterns, stripes, and textures.
Custom Roman Shades
Custom roman shades are made based on your window measurements and specifications so they fit properly and work better. Our roman shades are of top quality and come in a much wider range of colors, styles, and options. The superior production process and premium materials used in our products help extend the life of your roman shades, as well as provide a superb product that complements your other home furnishings.
Roman Blinds
Roman shades are window shades. All window shades operate by either rolling up (like roller shades on a spring-loaded roll), or they fold up. Roman shades fold up. Each unit of the shade, folds unto itself.

"beautiful high quality"
By from
I ordered these in the Epic Crest pattern that was shown in the example. The light filtering through gives the room a nice golden glow.View this product
"color beautiful"
By painter from NJ
Well constructed. Looks great. The installation hardware and method is not great. Very exacting, not easy to measure and requires holes through the fabric. Once brackets in place, very easy to install and remove for cleaning.View this product
