Elizabeth Hagen
Elizabeth Hagen is an Ambassador who studied abroad in London
Why did you choose to study abroad and how did you decide on this program?
I chose to study abroad because I wanted to gain more cultural experiences. I decided on London because it is a very diverse city and there is a lot of history and exciting places to visit.
Briefly describe a specific cultural experience you had on your trip that made a lasting impression.
Being able to use the public transportation was amazing! It made it easier to get around the city and visit all the places I wanted to see.
Describe your overall study abroad experience.
It was an awesome experience to be able to live in a city and become part of the culture.
Based on your experiences abroad, what are some of the benefits of spending a semester abroad? How has studying abroad contributed to your personal, academic, and professional development?
When you spend a semester abroad you are able to get integrated into the culture. It has broadened my ideas of nationality and what it means to be from the U.S.
What advice can you offer for CSB/SJU students who are considering or planning to study abroad?
If you can fit in a semester abroad, do it! The chances of being able to spend several months in a country after college are very limited and the experience is something you will never be able to do again.

Supporting her financially, getting them "set up" in a new location (furniture, food, clothing, medical care, emotionally, etc.)
Oh, and I took her to the local ER Monday - she's got genital herpes with a massive outbreak - and she's in a LOT of pain.
What a f'n mess. There are times that my DH's ONS seems trivial compared to what she (our DD) has to deal with at the moment - and in her future.
Half-full vs. half-empty way of looking at life at the moment.

Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours.
It's all about perspective isn't it. Things could be better, but they could be worse. I wish change were not necessary for growth, but it is.
Keep the glass half full, your family needs your strength; they are lucky to have you.
Good Wife
Also my WH gave me an STD. Whatcha think the likelyhood of getting a STD from just one encounter is? I know it's possible, but just how likely?
And yep, you can get an STD from one time. The skank that he picked up gave him chlamydia (classy gal); he saw a doctor less than a week later for his first round of tests, and he's subsequently been tested at least two other times, and saw two different urologists (he was convinced this person gave him something else - he was so disgusted and scared). Basically it was his conscience, and as he said, "feeling dirty," like the ONS just wouldn't come off. Incidentally he'll be going for another round next week, as it will have been 6 months since his ONS.
Luckily, the only times we were intimate - between his ONS, confession, and multiple testing - it was all about me (if you get my drift) We didn't actually have sex until after all of his rounds of tests came back negative - over a month post confession day. Looking back, the fact that he didn't want anything for himself should have been a HUGE red flag for me in those weeks before he confessed. Sigh. Hindsight is 20/20, huh?
He told me that there was no way he'd put me at risk until he was sure everything was safe...which on some level I appreciate, but hey - you should have thought of that before putting yourself in that position at all, buddy.
I believe my WH that it was only this one time, but can we ever know 100%? I'm not sure.
Is this typical behavior for your H? Has he cheated in past relationships? What rationale has he given you for what he did?
(edited for some clarity)
[This message edited by just breathe. at 11:22 AM, January 28th (Thursday)]
believe my WH that it was only this one time, but can we ever know 100%? I'm not sure.
I thought this myself. My H doesn't have many chances away from me to do what he did, his "opportunity" came about at a conference he attends for work 3 times a year. And after discovery in May, I too wondered, if this is the first time he's done this to me. I found out on 5/5 that YES it was his first time, because she was stupid enough to send him a "fishing" email after he told her NC and she tried to convince him that since I didn't know they had sex at initial discovery that they could continue talking because I was "stupid" and he replied to her (not knowing I would check his email and see the communication) he said that I wasn't sneaky or deceitful like that (her) and that I confront everything head on and he said to her "what happened between us in XXX stays there no one knows a thing and that is the first time I have ever done anything like this".
So, lucky for me, in my instance I found out by "mistake" that yes this was his first time at this. Still makes me should have never happened a first time.
he told me about it the following day, had to, no protection.
Unfortunately, not all men think that way. Apparently, not only my husband but our 'Christian' mc at the time, decided it was really none of my business to know he'd opened himself, and me, to disease. He backpedaled a bit when I pointed out he'd put my health and even our future children's, at risk, and all of a sudden, a condom appeared in the story. Then of course he had to explain why he happened to have a condom at all in his apartment, when he and I were separated. And naturally, he had just happened to have just one, because he wasn't planning any of this, so he didn't go out and buy a whole box....
Yeah, I tend to think he didn't use one.
but I often feel like my situation doesn't always fit the "A" mode. Probably not making any sense here...
I feel this way ALOT on here. so you're making PERFECT sense to me.
My problem is as far as the sex goes, it was a ONS, yet he turned it into an EA by calling her and talking for 3 weeks. No LTA or anything but it's hard to know where to actually "fit in" here sometimes.
Feel free to PM me anytime you want to vent.
Been dealing with separating from my H. My choice...we are dating now...we will see what happens. He is doing everything he can to fix this...has since dday...but I needed to figure out if I could get past it enough to stay with him...we will see.
As far as having to tell due to no protection? not my H. I didnt find out for 9 years. I feel like I was very lucky not to have contracted something. I have been tested, and will continue to be tested every year when I have my pap, even though I believe nothing has happened since then.
there's just too much that time cannot erase
dday 9/11/08
And the more I know, the less I understand
Because of you...I am afraid...
Did you go looking for sex, or did the opportunity just 'pop up'
Were you in a place where you got a 'lap dance' or a 'titty bar', trashy bar, or just regular bar?
Did you approach the woman, or did she approach you first?
Was it the way she looked that attracted you, or her personality, or just the fact that she was giving you attention?
What did you and the OW talk about?
If she was the one pursuing you, how long did it take before the conversation turned sexual?
If you pursued her, how long before the conversation turned sexual?
How long were you there before you left to go have sex?
Where did you have sex?
Were you afraid, or weirded out in any way?
Did you even think about STD's?
After sex, did you stay overnight, or leave immediately?
Did you feel guilt immediately?
Did you think their was any possiblity that you might get caught?
Thanks, I'm just trying to understand this.
Let me know; I'll be happy to give Mr. Just Breathe's answers. (((painpaingoaway)))
Oh yes, I've asked WS these questions, I'm just wondering if ONS WS's have similar experiences...
I'd love to hear your "Mister's" answers!
The opportunity just "popped up"
Just a regular bar
I got approached
It was all about attention
We talked about things,nothing specific at all
Nothing turned sexual until we left the bar
I was at a bar with several friends, the time element was several hours, everyone kind of left at the same time, so I guess there is no time frame to answer your question
Her hotel room,not mine
It was pretty much weird
Never thought about STDs until I confessed to my wife,fortunately we both have been tested with negative results
I left immediately
I can tell you a 45 minute shower will not wash off the guilt
I thought,like most WSs do, I won't get caught
And if this helps you at all this is how I feel to this day about what I did and I will never forget it either
FWH (me)
BW (hopelessromantic)
Dday 5/03/09 TT til 6/22/09
Did you go looking for sex, or did the opportunity just 'pop up' He set out for an ego boost. He knew what he was doing.
Were you in a place where you got a 'lap dance' or a 'titty bar', trashy bar, or just regular bar? Regular restaurant/bar
Did you approach the woman, or did she approach you first?woman & her friends approached him & his friend
Was it the way she looked that attracted you, or her personality, or just the fact that she was giving you attention? Mr. JB's exact response is "opportunity. nothing special other than that."
What did you and the OW talk about?"Would you like a drink? Where are you from?" That was about it.
If she was the one pursuing you, how long did it take before the conversation turned sexual? They didn't say or do anything sexual. He said it was obvious what she wanted, and said she kept telling him she was "kind of a big deal." LOL! (My response? At the STD clinic, I'm sure you are a big deal sweetheart.)
If you pursued her, how long before the conversation turned sexual? Only thing he said sexual was "Wanna go to a hotel?" (swoon! how flattering!)
How long were you there before you left to go have sex? It was closing time at the bar as they were talking, so they went to a hotel. Roughly 20 minutes.
*edited for clarity: he was at the bar for about 3 hours before he met this woman. They only spoke for 20 mins before they were essentially kicked out of the bar. The only reason she turned out to be the lucky gal was that simple little fact of being in the right place at the right time.
Where did you have sex? Hotel.
Were you afraid, or weirded out in any way? Mr. JB said as soon as he walked out of the bar, he began to feel bad. He knew it wasn't right. He also said that everything was immediately so bad that he realized just how good it is between him and I. He claims - I know some SIers roll their eyes at this - but that she did nothing to arouse him, that he had to "work himself up," and then couldn't sustain with her so he went into the bathroom and did it himself. Ick.
Did you even think about STD's? Yup. Before, during, and definitely after (when he got an STD)
After sex, did you stay overnight, or leave immediately? They didn't get a room until roughly 4am. Since it was on his CC, he didn't trust her, so he stayed until after she left - around 8:30am.
Did you feel guilt immediately? Yes, he did - even before they did anything (which ticks me off).
Did you think their was any possiblity that you might get caught? This one's kinda tough. He knew what he had set out to do, and that I was out of town. His little MLC "temper tantrum" wasn't about wanting someone else per se, or looking for a relationship. He just used her for an ego boost. But he said he knew right away that he'd have to tell me.
So there you go. Now I'm curious how our answers stack up!
[This message edited by just breathe. at 6:16 PM, February 2nd (Tuesday)]
My FWS didn't get far enough to have a ONS. I was at work, got off early, & showed up at the bar where all of our friends were at. I still can't explain it, but as I approached the parking lot I shut the headlights off on the car and creeped in slowly. Sure enough, there was my FWS making out with 'The Ferret'. He had her pushed up against her car and they were making out like a couple of horny teenagers. I watched them for about 3-4 minutes before my temper got the best of me. I was waiting...I suppose for him to get his wits about him or something...and when I figured out that wasn't going to happen I turned the headlights on and pulled into the parking lot. They stopped making out- mostly because she saw my car and thought I was a cop. I pulled up right next to them, rolled down the window, shook my head at them and drove away. 30 minutes later all hell broke loose.
He'd had inappropriate conversations - mild, really- with other women online and a very real porn addiction, but I do believe it was the one and only time he ever went that far. Had I not shown up? I believe they'd have had sex in the Ferret's car, but I guess none of us will ever know for sure.
She actively pursued my WH for quite some time, and at one point while we were all out (about 2 months before I busted them) I warned her to back off.
It was the first time he was out with that group by himself and that's when it happened. He was weak, selfish, stupid, and wasn't thinking.
I haven't posted much here at all because I don't feel like our situation really fits into the norm here either.
We've worked hard to move past this, but there are days it's still hard to breathe when I think about it.
bigdog- Your answers to the questions were helpful to me. Thank you for sharing.
Never thought about STDs until I confessed to my wife,fortunately we both have been tested with negative results
I thought,like most WSs do, I won't get caught
Big dog, I'm not picking on you, I just want to pick your brain, that's all.
Just breathe,
but that she did nothing to arouse him, that he had to "work himself up," and then couldn't sustain with her
Sorry ya'll, just trying to understand, venting, etc.... I do appreciate the responses.
"Never thought about STDs until I confessed to my wife,fortunately we both have been tested with negative results" I can see where this would really bug you BUT in all honesty I NEVER thought about it even given the fact we are in the age of AIDS. Yes this would have been tragic if I would have contracted such a horrible disease but by the grace of God I did not. I would never ask you to "get it" as you are not the one who cheated or was cheating at the time.
"I thought,like most WSs do, I won't get caught" Actually getting caught did not enter my mind at the time. At the time I was only thinking of myself, nothing, no one else, only me, I was being selfish and having one hell of a pity party to boot. If this helps at all my wife and I have discovered what the pity party was all about and have now taken great strides to correct my deficiencys.
I know you are not picking on me. I can only hope that what I have offered has been of some help to you.
Well, he got worked up enough to get his pecker into her rotten pussy and get a STD!!!
PPGA, I know it isn't funny, but I burst out laughing at this. You're totally right. That's one of the many things that is SO STUPID about what he did. *After* he felt guilty before doing anything, *after* her "awful" attempt at a BJ that got him nowhere, *after* he had to work himself up to even get hard...WHY didn't he just stop? (A. he put his mind to do something thinking he'd feel better about himself, and he was gonna do it. Ugh.)
I do know that he could not have cared less whether she enjoyed herself. Mr. JB is a pretty honest guy, and he told me (in details which I'll spare) that he did the bare minimum on her behalf - no real foreplay for her at all. In my most self-assured and gracious moments, I actually almost pity this woman. She even asked him as she was leaving if he had a cell phone (ie: what's your number?) and he told her *no, he didn't have a cell phone*!!! Can you even imagine?! He's said that he's sure she knew he was lying, but she just let it go and left.
As horrible as it is for me, I take comfort in knowing that I have never been, nor will ever be treated as disgustingly and then as discardable as she was.
ETA: I forgot to thank bigdog for answering these questions. I appreciate hearing your POV, and am glad you commented. Thanks!

Do you think that possibly a reason that WS's don't 'think' about the consequences might be that WS's are just so 'caught up' in the moment (as in, a completely unexpected situation presents itself), that you are sort of 'caught of guard' and just not thinking in the way you would normally think?
I'm trying to imagine myself in a situation that may come up unexpectedly, let's say, perhaps, like a minor car accident, or getting pulled by a cop, or something like that where something happens unexpectedly, and I'm sort of confused, and not completely thinking straight at the moment. I'm certainly not trying to excuse the behavior by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm trying desperately to 'understand'.

Welcome to the Katrina Research Hub
The Katrina Research Hub is an open platform for promoting collaboration and information sharing among those studying Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
Hurricane Katrina resulted in both a humanitarian catastrophe and a dramatic failure of the American social contract. Social science plays a crucial role in addressing this dual disaster by helping us evaluate governmental responses, plan for rebuilding and resettlement, and better understand how such events shape individual and group experience. The Katrina Research Hub is part of an effort to facilitate these processes.
Here you will find information related to Hurricane Katrina, including a bibliography of research on Hurricane Katrina as well as lists of upcoming events, related funding opportunities, news, and other resources. You are encouraged to draw on our extensive Resource Database and to contribute to its expanding map of people, institutions, networks, and citations.
Understanding Katrina: Perspectives from the Social Sciences
Also visit the online essay forum launched by the Social Science Research Council in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Called Understanding Katrina: Perspectives from the Social Sciences, the forum addresses the implications of the tragedy in ways that extend beyond "natural disaster," "engineering failures," "cronyism" or other categories of interpretation that dominated media coverage of the event.

Pre-K-Grade 12 Gifted Education Programming Standards
Why does gifted education need standards?
Standards provide a basis for policies, rules, and procedures that are essential for providing systematic programs and services to any special population. While standards may be addressed and implemented in a variety of ways, they provide important direction and focus to the endeavor of program development. They also help define the comprehensiveness necessary in designing and developing options for gifted learners at the local level. Because these standards are grounded in theory, research, and practice paradigms, they provide an important base for all efforts on behalf of gifted learners at all stages of development.
The 2010 programming standards have been developed with input from a variety of stakeholders over the past two years and integrate principles and concepts from the initial program standards, which were developed in 1998, and the national NAGC-CEC/TAG teacher preparation standards. You will note an increased focus on diversity and collaboration – two powerful principles that guide high quality programs and services. The new standards use student outcomes for goals, rather than teacher practices. Both revisions create stronger standards and keep them in line with the thinking in education standards generally.
NAGC is extremely pleased to provide the standards and accompanying resources to school leaders and advocates to improve services for our high-ability students.

The Six Gifted Programming Standards
1. Learning and Development2. Assessment3. Curriculum Planning & Instruction4. Learning Environments5. Programming6. Professional Development
The Standards at a Glance
1. Learning and Development:
Educators, recognizing the learning and developmental differences of students with gifts and talents, promote ongoing self-understanding, awareness of their needs, and cognitive and affective growth of these students in school, home, and community settings to ensure specific student outcomes.
Related Resources Guiding Questions
2. Assessment:
Assessments provide information about identification, learning progress and outcomes, and evaluation of programming for students with gifts and talents in all domains.
Related Resources Guiding Questions
3. Curriculum planning and Instruction:
Educators apply the theory and research-based models of curriculum and instruction related to students with gifts and talents and respond to their needs by planning, selecting, adapting, and creating culturally relevant curriculum and by using a repertoire of evidence-based instructional strategies to ensure specific student outcomes.
4. Learning Environments:
Learning environments foster personal and social responsibility, multicultural* competence, and interpersonal and technical communication skills for leadership in the 21st century to ensure specific student outcomes.
5. Programming:
Educators are aware of empirical evidence regarding (a) the cognitive, creative, and affective development of learners with gifts and talents and (b) programming that meets their concomitant needs. Educators use this expertise systematically and collaboratively to develop, implement, and effectively manage comprehensive services for students with a variety of gifts and talents to ensure specific student outcomes.
6. Professional Development:
All educators (administrators, teachers, counselors, and other instructional support staff) build their knowledge and skills using the NAGC/CEC Teacher Standards for Gifted and Talented Education and the National Staff Development Standards. They formally assess professional development needs related to the standards, develop and monitor plans, systematically engage in training to meet the identified needs, and demonstrate mastery of standard. They access resources to provide for release time, funding for continuing education, and substitute support. These practices are judged through the assessment of relevant student outcomes.

Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information, visit the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies on PewHealth.org.
Without an improved governance structure, the benefits of nanotechnology may be difficult to fully realize because the public will not trust the cutting-edge technology, says David Rejeski, director of the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN). Rejeski testifies on Thursday, April 24, before the Senate subcommittee on technology and innovation.
"Public trust is the 'dark horse' in nanotechnology's future," states Rejeski in his testimony. "If government and industry do not work to build public confidence in nanotechnology, consumers may reach for the 'No-Nano' label in the future and investors will put their money elsewhere. Public perceptions about risks—real and perceived—can have large economic impacts. For example, the European Union's ban on genetically modified foods, driven largely by public concerns, cost American farmers an estimated $300 million annually in lost sales and much more in products that never made it to the marketplace."
Congressional lawmakers are currently discussing amendments to and reauthorization of the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research & Development Act, which helps sets the roadmap for the annual $1.5 billion federal spending on nanotechnology research that is vital to ensuring the technology's success.

David Rejeski directs the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies. For the past eight years, he has also been the Director of the Foresight and Governance Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center. He has held various positions at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He sits on the advisory boards of a number of organizations, including EPA's Science Advisory Board. He has graduate degrees in public administration and environmental design from Harvard and Yale.
About Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is the ability to measure, see, manipulate and manufacture things usually between 1 and 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter; a human hair is roughly 100,000 nanometers wide. By 2014, Lux Research projects that $2.6 trillion in global manufactured goods will incorporate nanotechnology, or about 15 percent of total global output.
The Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (www.nanotechproject.org) is an initiative launched by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and The Pew Charitable Trusts in 2005. It is dedicated to helping business, government and the public anticipate and manage possible health and environmental implications of nanotechnology.

Caloric Restriction with or without Exercise: The Fitness versus Fatness DebatePosted: Sunday, February 14, 2010
There is a debate over the independent effects of aerobic fitness and body fatness on mortality and disease risks.
In this randomized clinical trial, researchers tested the effect of body weight and body fat loss with or without improvement in physical fitness on cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight men and women who underwent a 6-month CR regimen with or without regular aerobic exercise. Although both intervention groups experienced similar reductions in total body mass, fat mass, and visceral abdominal mass, the caloric restricted plus exercise group experienced greater improvement in insulin sensitivity, LDL cholesterol, and diastolic blood pressure than that in the CR by diet alone group.
The results strongly suggest that inclusion of regular aerobic exercise (or training) in a weight loss program yields cardiometabolic health benefits beyond those of weight loss alone. Results further support the argument that both fitness and fatness are important for reducing cardiometabolic risks, particularly during CR and may shed some light on how fitness or fatness may contribute to overall mortality.
The main difference between the two caloric-restricted groups was that one group was 25% caloric restricted by diet alone (i.e., consuming 75% of requirement), whereas the other group was in 25% energy deficit, 12.5% by decreasing food intake, and 12.5% by increasing energy expended through regular aerobic exercise. Not surprisingly, the caloric restricted plus exercise group experienced significant improvements in aerobic fitness with an average 10% improvement in absolute V·O2peak (L·min−1 and an average 22% improvement in V·O2peak relative to body weight. Of interest, however, is the slight albeit not statistically significant decrease in absolute aerobic fitness that occurred over the 6-month period in both the nonexercise groups. In comparison, Ross et al. found that weight loss induced by a 700-kcal daily energy deficit by diet resulted in a 5% decrease in aerobic fitness, whereas weight loss induced by a 700-kcal increase in exercise resulted in a 13% improvement in V·O2peak. In the current study, however, CR either by diet or diet plus exercise did not result in any significant changes in leg muscle peak power or endurance. Importantly, the data demonstrate that CR does not lead to reduced overall strength or functionality in humans when fed a nutritionally sound diet.
A unique aspect and strength of the study is that weight loss was achieved through provision of isoenergetic deficits (regardless of exercise) which resulted in almost identical reductions in total body weight and total and visceral adiposity. Such design allowed researchers to tease out the additional influence of exercise which according to the results is a necessary part of the prescription to gain full cardiometabolic improvements including improved insulin sensitivity and lowered LDL cholesterol and diastolic blood pressure. The statistically significant improvement in insulin sensitivity only in the CR + EX, but not CR group, is not surprising given the well-documented insulin-sensitizing effect of aerobic exercise driven predominantly by increased glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression and trafficking in exercised skeletal muscle. Increased fatness, on the other hand, is associated with increased ectopic fat deposition in skeletal muscle and liver which may influence the insulin signaling cascade and impact circulating lipids. Somewhat surprising, however, is that inclusion of aerobic exercise did not result in additional improvements in HDL cholesterol and to a lesser extent systolic blood pressure. Such lack of effect may be related to the selection of healthy overweight rather than obese volunteers (who had relatively normal blood pressure values) and administration of a tightly controlled AHA-Step 1 diet which provided 30% of energy from fat.
The results of the current study along with those of a previous analysis reporting larger reduction in 10-yr CVD risk (38% in CR + EX vs 29% in CR and no change in controls) when exercise was included suggest that improvements in both fitness and fatness are needed for optimally reducing overall morbidity and mortality. Specifically, aerobic fitness (assessed by V·O2peak) had stronger associations than fatness with the Framingham Risk Score (model used to identify healthy individuals at risk for CVD), the ankle/brachial index (average ankle systolic blood pressure/arm systolic blood pressure; a physiological marker of cardiovascular risk), and hemoglobin A1c concentration. The results further suggest that regular aerobic exercise which improves V·O2peak also improves peripheral resistance during diastole above that noted with a reduction in fatness. Although it is clearly established that elevated systolic blood pressure is a more powerful predictor of cardiovascular events than diastolic pressure, increased diastolic blood pressure causes an increased risk for end organ failure, cardiovascular death, and could indeed be an important reason why fitness is associated with reduced overall mortality.
Another important health benefit exerted by regular exercise beyond those of weight loss includes its impact on aerobic capacity, particularly in relation to daily functionality and overall mortality. Aerobic capacity has been shown to be a more powerful predictor of mortality among both healthy men and those with CVD than other established risk factors with each 1-MET increase in aerobic capacity conferring a 12% increase in survival. Based on these reported statistics, the CR + EX group, who improved their aerobic capacity by an average 1.6 METs would have an estimated 19.2% increase in survival. By contrast, the improvement in the aerobic capacity of the CR + EX group was parallel with an alarming tendency of absolute aerobic capacity to decline over the 6-month period in both the CR and control-treated groups.
Results of the current study suggest that beyond changes in fatness, combining CR with exercise is important for increasing aerobic fitness and optimizing improvements in risk factors for diabetes and CVD, including improved insulin sensitivity, LDL cholesterol, and diastolic blood pressure that are beyond those of body weight/body fat reduction alone. Improvements in other cardiometabolic risk factors, however, such as systolic blood pressure and HDL cholesterol might only be associated with changes in fatness and/or consumption of a healthy diet.

Ultra-Soft Knit Fabric Mattress Encasing With A Protective Lining - Completely Seals Off Mold & Dust Mite Allergen Plus Bed Bugs*!
The BedCare Classic dust mite and mold impermeable allergen mattress cover is made of a lightweight polyester knit fabric joined to an ultra-thin, allergen-proof Comfortech…click to read more on the product tabs below.
Ratings Summary
RatingNumber of Ratings
The BedCare Classic dust mite and mold impermeable allergen mattress cover is made of a lightweight polyester knit fabric joined to an ultra-thin, allergen-proof Comfortech polyurethane membrane making this mattress encasing waterproof as well. Because of this barrier membrane, this mattress encasing cannot be measured in terms of mean pore size. The fabric stretches as you move for supreme comfort making this an excellent allergen mattress cover for your bed. Zipping your mattress into this encasement provides total protection on all sides with no gaps or openings.
While many sewing manufacturers are going "off shore", all of our fabric encasings are made in the USA by skilled craftsmen who know that the care they take in making each cover is important to your health, and they take their work very seriously. Every mattress encasement is hand inspected to maintain top quality; the BedCare Classic allergy mattress encasing is made to last a lifetime.
Product Notes:
Here's what one satisfied customer told us:
"I bought a cotton mattress encasing at a local store and it was junk. My skin still itched...I bought BedCare Classic because it was so impermeable...It is wonderful. My skin hasn't itched from dust mites since I bought it. Also, I don't even notice it, very comfortable."

Bed Bug Fact Sheet from Ohio State University, and how encasings can prevent bed bud infestation:
"After the mattress is vacuumed or scrubbed, it can be enclosed in a zippered mattress cover such as that used for house dust mites." - Susan Jones Ph.D. Bed Bug Fact Sheet, from pg. 3.Back To Top ↑
Best Steps for Bed Bug Control:
You may already have bed bugs and are working to eliminate the infestation or you may be working to prevent a bed bug infestation. Either way, BedCare mattress and box spring encasings, pillow encasings, and protective covers with the BugShield System should be part of your plan.
The BugShield Zipper-Lock is an auto-locking zipper that locks the zipper slide in place so that it will NOT backtrack to leave small openings that bed bugs could get through. The zipper cannot accidentally open; to open the zipper, the zipper tab must be pulled.
The BugShield Bug Blocker is an added barrier that closes the last inch or so of the zipper from below to create a fabric shield under the zipper closure to doubly ensure that bed bugs will not be able to get in or out of the encasing.
By covering your bedding with zippered bed-bug-proof covers, you are protecting the investment you have made in your mattress and box spring, pillows, and comforter because you will not need to dispose of them due to bed bugs.
All of our BedCare encasing fabrics have been tested by an independent lab and the data show that bed bugs can not pass through these fabrics, can not bite through these fabrics, and eggs can not pass through these fabrics or zippers. Therefore bed bugs outside the encasing can not get through to your mattress and box spring to hide or lay eggs, and any bed bugs inside the encasing can not get out to re-infest your home.
NOTE: Zippered bed-bug-proof covers cannot protect you from bed bugs hiding in other areas of your bedroom or home such as behind headboards or inside wall sockets. For complete elimination, you will need to contact a pest extermination specialist who understands how to rid your home of bed bugs.Back To Top ↑

Every year, the incentive industry's major show gets bigger and better. This year's Motivation Show, held September 26 to 28 at Chicago's McCormick Place Convention Center, saw 13,467 registrants, compared to 13,153 in 2005.
The number of associated events grows each year as well, and this year included the first national conference on People Performance Management, presented by the Forum for People Performance Management and Measurement at Northwestern University and co-sponsored by Corporate Meetings & Incentives. In the opening session September 27, Bruce Fields, vice president of human resources at industrial materials manufacturer Nordson, Westlake, Ohio, accepted the esteemed Performance Through People Award, which in previous years has gone to companies such as Marriott and Dell. In another session, Steve Kent, senior equity analyst for Goldman Sachs, New York, confirmed the importance of motivated employees to investors (his client companies include Starbucks, Four Seasons, Marriott, and MGM). "There are many reasons why these companies are doing so well," he said, "but the performance of their people has to be a factor."
A few examples Kent used:
At Starbucks, training is all about corporate culture, until late the first day. "Only then do they start to talk about the basic things you need to know to do the job, like how to use a cash register."
MGM Mirage in Las Vegas offers employees a buffet just like the one for guests. "How can we feed our employees anything less than what we feed the people who stay here?" is the philosophy.
Four Seasons and Marriott pay for English classes for every employee, including dishwashers. Why? The companies promote from within and consider the training to be both a perk and an investment.
Following are other highlights from the show:
Great Britain:
Look Beyond London
The big news in Britain is not in London but Liverpool, said Tom Wright, chief executive of Visit Britain. The city is coming into vogue, not only for its Beatles connection but for its culture: It's been named Europe's 2008 Capital of Culture and boasts one of the biggest art collections outside London. In May 2007, low-cost carrier Globespan will fly direct to John Lennon Airport in Liverpool from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. And it's only 2.5 hours from London via high-speed rail. www.visitbritain.org
Orlando's New Beauty:
Rosen Shingle Creek
Meeting news coming out of Orlando includes the opening of Rosen Shingle Creek, set amid the backdrop of the Florida Everglades' headwaters. What is so amazing about the property are the oak canopies and natural flowers that have carefully been preserved so they can continue to reside there. But for meeting planners, what will also capture the eye is the 445,000 square feet of dedicated, state-of-the-art meeting space, including one of the nation's largest column-free ballrooms at 95,000 square feet. Other amenities: a 13,000-square-foot spa with nine treatment rooms, a fitness center, and four outdoor swimming pools. www.rosenshinglecreek.com
Time to
Re-Think Peru
With all the competition from other Central and South American destinations, Peru nonetheless took the spotlight at the show for its efforts to attract the U.S incentive market. "You can call Peru an emerging destination," said Elizabeth Hakim, incoming tourism coordinator for Prom Peru, because it meets all the criteria for winners who "have traveled, are educated, interested, and discerning." She is seeing more incentive business, especially through an affiliation with StarCite, a meeting technology and site-sourcing company that also offers a destination marketing arm. And with only a five-hour flight from Miami and some of the most hospitable residents in the region — not to mention Machu Picchu — Peru is a huge draw for the "been there, done that" set. www.peru.info
Alan Waxler Group:
More than Ground Services
The company that introduced limo-coaches and top-quality meet-and-greet group services to Las Vegas meetings will soon take delivery of the first motor coaches made in China (with American parts) for the U.S. market. The Alan Waxler Group's AWG Charter Services offers a diverse fleet of luxury vehicles and service to match. "We are the only transportation company in Las Vegas with the full spectrum of vehicle types … from our luxurious fleet of European sedans to our Signature Series 2006-2007 56-passenger executive motor coaches," says founder Alan Waxler. But the 12-passenger limo-coaches offer corporate groups the highest level of quality and comfort at an affordable price. "The U-shape environment in the limo-style coaches allows networking as soon as the group leaves the airport. Some clients will even do a video message from a company executive and loop it on the video," he adds.
The meet-and-greet services are offered through AWG Destination Services, which has been recognized by Special Events Magazine (a sister magazine of Corporate Meetings & Incentives) as one of the top 25 destination management companies in the world. AWG also offers a Corporate Events division as well as a licensed full-service modeling agency. www.awaxgrp.com
Hilton Los Cabos Resort:
Major Re-Do
The Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort is undergoing a major remodeling of its 375 guest rooms, which will be completed in December, in time for high season. Now under the ownership of Beny Alagem, who also owns the Beverly Hilton, the Hilton has repositioned itself as a luxury resort, having poured $2 million into the property in the past two years, according to Gabriela van der Lee, senior sales manager.
The oceanfront Hilton Los Cabos, which offers two ballrooms (both wireless) and five terraces among its outdoor venues, won the 2005 "Connie Award" for best overall performance among the 240 properties in the Hilton Hotels Corp. Resort Division.
The resort offers four oceanview restaurants, two swimming pools, and a full-service spa and fitness center. www.hiltonloscabos.com
Dollar-Guaranteed Packages
Monaco's hotels have agreed to extend dollar-guaranteed incentive packages through 2008, announced Cindy Hoddeson, North American director of meeting and incentive sales, Monaco Government Tourist Office in New York. The offer underscores Monaco's affordability factor in the U.S. market. Packages include four- to five-night accommodations, as well as daily breakfast and welcome and farewell dinners.
A new incentive package guide includes a sample itinerary, Monaco's main selling points, and information about the online catalog with exclusive corporate gifts.
Participating hotels include SBM hotels, Hotel de Paris, Hotel Hermitage, Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resorts, Hotel Mirabeau, Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel; Fairmont Monte Carlo, Port Palace, Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo, Le Meridien Beach Plaza, and the Columbus Monaco. www.visitmonaco.com
Showstoppers at
Australia Booth
The Australian Tourist Commission (see photo, next page) announced a "challenge for the incentive industry" at the show that will encourage America's corporate executives to engage their employees in decision-making about which destinations motivate them. In a recent survey of end-user incentive winners, "the most important take-out is that the right travel opportunities are increasingly valuable to time-poor workers," said Michelle Gysberts, partnership director. "Countries where employees have yet to travel, or trips they viewed as too difficult to organize as well as experiences like beach holidays and food and wine events, topped the list."
Palace Resorts:
Full Speed Ahead
Palace Resorts, the largest all-inclusive chain in Mexico, has introduced several new properties and reopened others in the last year. Newest among them is Le Blanc Spa Resort, a five-star, adults-only, 260-suite property in Cancun, featuring 10,000 square feet of meeting space and a 29,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art spa. (President Bush stayed in the property's presidential suite for the Mexican Summit earlier this year.)
Also earlier this year, Palace Resorts acquired the 300-room Club Maeva Tulum in the Riviera Maya region. The resort will close for a renovation and upgrade in August 2007, to reopen under a new, yet-to-be determined name. The opening date has not been set.
In May, Palace Resorts opened Cozumel Palace, an all-suite oceanfront hotel on the island of Cozumel, home to part of the second-largest coral reef in the world. Formerly the Hotel Plaza Las Glorias Cozumel, the property now includes 176 suites (each with double Jacuzzis), as well as renovated lobby, pool, and common areas.
In June, Palace Resorts announced the grand reopening of Xpu-Ha Palace, an eco-centered resort in the Riviera Maya region that had been closed since July 2005 for repairs after sustaining damage in hurricanes Emily and Wilma. The resort features 144 rooms in bungalow-style buildings with thatched roofs and luxurious interiors.
Incentive planners are eagerly anticipating the opening of the Moon Palace Casino, Golf and Spa Resort, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The first phase is scheduled to open in July 2007, and the second by December 2007, although groups will be welcome beginning in January 2008, says Ginny Davito, vice president, group and incentive sales. "Groups are anxious for another large, all-inclusive property that offers the same value as the Moon Palace and Aventura Palace."
There's a completely new room product at the Moon Palace in Cancun, and another wing, with 1,350 rooms, will open by the end of 2007, as will another 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course. www.palaceresorts.com

JetBlue Airways, New York's low-fare airline, began daily Airbus A320 service to Aruba September 15 from John F. Kennedy International Airport. The island is investing more than $34 million in improvements and expansions at Queen Beatrix International Airport (www.airportaruba.com). The airport's growth plan includes the installation of elevators to make the facility more accessible for disabled travelers, the addition of a new central security area, updated signage, free luggage carts, and more.
Nearly every hotel in Aruba is investing in refurbishments or expansions, including the much-anticipated, $5.2 million Larimar Spa at the Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino, which opened last month. In addition, the Aruba Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino completed a ballroom and casino expansion in 2005, invested $3.4 million in a room renovation in late spring, and will spend another $12 million renovating rooms in 2007.

It's Jaden Smith — and not his father Will — who's at the center of this soggy sci-fi flick.
Totally disappointing, all the way around.They all (the Smiths and Mr. Shamalyn) could've saved their time and money, stayed hone, and phoned the whole thing in. Wish I would've.
I don't get it, this was a very good movie about a father and his son coming into manhood. It was intelligent, smart, and entertaining. How could critic give the movie Silver Lining such great reviews and After Earth such bad reviews I will never know. Forget what the critics say and go see a good, solid entertaining movie that will touch your heart.
I saw the movie and rated it 4 out of 4 stars. As retired military, I could relate to the gruff military man who is also a father. I have to admit, I never babied my kids and yet, I like to think they understood I loved them. I am not so old that I cannot remember the anguish of attempting to pass from boyhood to manhood. I would have thought so many could easily relate to this story. As for the casting and acting, my criteria is pretty simple...I'm not an actor and if you can do ten times better than me, I'm good! It seems to me if you want Shakespeare, go see a Broadway show! As a former military man, I also give a lot of points for effort...just for trying. Again, for me, a very good and highly entertaining movie. Have a good day!

"Play On!"
What happens when a theater group attempts to put on a show and has to deal with the author constantly changing the script? That is the premise for our fall show, "Play On!" The production is a funny look at the backstage antics of a cast trying to deal with an unreasonable playwright as well as a dress rehearsal fraught with problems -- in other words, a community theater's dream of a show!
Auditions for this comedy will be held at 7 p.m. August 18 and 19 at West Allis Central Auditorium, 8516 W. Lincoln Ave.
We will soon be announcing our entire 2008-2009 season as well as highlighting other shows in the area. Theater is such a fantastic experience and we hope you will give us a try!

Project Instructions
Thread the bead pattern onto a head pin and form a loop. Make the quantity of head pins shown. The beads shouldn't be overly tight on the pin.
Use a 4mm jump ring to gather the head pins.
This will be a tight fit, but once the jump ring is closed, the head pins will fan out.
Cut a 12" length of wire for stringing the smaller rings of the snowflake and a 16" length of wire for stringing the larger rings of the snowflake.
Begin wrapping the wire multiple times around a beaded head pin, sandwiching the wire between two beads.
String on the bead pattern. Wrap the wire between two beads on the next head pin once then string the beads. Continue around the entire snowflake ending at the first head pin.
Wrap the wire around the pin a few more times and cut the wire snug. Use needle nose pliers to tuck the wire in to prevent snagging.

If you want to prevent plumbing problems its recommended to try controlling what goes down on the plumbing drain, because cooking grease can solidify and clog drains. But if your drain starts to become clogged you can try to pour chemical-based drain cleaner or lots of boiling water down a sluggish drain to clear it. Before winter comes, turn-off flow to the outdoor spigots, This way you can prevent bursting pipes caused by water left in the lines that subsequently freezes.
Also, if youre planning on going away for some time in the winter, remember to leave the heat on, you can turn it way down but dont stop it and leave the kitchen and vanity cabinet doors open so heat can reach the pipes to avoid freezing.
Listen for dripping sounds and this way you can discover if you have a leaking faucet. Even though a dripping faucet may not seem to waste significant amounts of water, over the course of day, each individual drop adds up to thousands and thousands of drops, or gallons and gallons of water. Choose a time when there is little or no activity, such as early in the morning, or late at night, when the house is very quiet.
Also, if you need repairs its better to call a professional plumber, especially if youre not confident in your abilities. Soldering pipes, replacing valves, and changing faucet seats may be better left to skilled persons with proper tools. If you use a chemical drain cleaning product for cleaning clogged or slow-draining pipes make sure you read carefully instructions first. If you have rusty pipes, be careful and dont force them too much because the problem could get worse.
