Aspiring musician, 20, loses cancer struggle
Published: Thursday, January 1, 2009 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 1, 2009 at 6:59 a.m.
PALMETTO - Playing guitar in a jam session this past summer with his hero, former Guns N Roses lead guitarist Slash, was a dream come true for 20-year-old Heath Sammons of Palmetto.
The aspiring musician and songwriter also hoped that another one of his dreams would come true: beating a rare form of bone cancer.
He was such a fighter, Sammons mother, Karis Meier, said of her sons nearly three-year battle with osteosarcoma. He just believed that he was going to make it.
Sammons lost his struggle in the early morning hours of Dec. 24.
Meier said the private jam session with Slash last June in Los Angeles not only helped lift her sons spirits as he coped with rounds of chemotherapy and surgery, but evolved into a friendship with the 43-year-old rock star, who now performs with Velvet Revolver and is featured in the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock video game.
It helped him cope because Slash was always just a phone call away, Meier said. Slash saw Heath not only as a young man who had an illness, but as a friend. They grew close.
So close, in fact, that Slash, aka Saul Hudson, hopped on a plane to pay Sammons a visit at his Manatee County home in September after Sammons latest surgery.
It was just amazing the compassion that Slash had for Heath and the friendship between them, Meier said. Heath believed he would be a rock star some day, and now hes a rock star for Jesus.
Sammons did not discover his musical aptitude until he took guitar lessons at 14 while attending the Manatee School for the Arts in Palmetto.
He joined his first band, Kashmir, at 15. Other local bands, including Kileva and The Under Construction Band, soon followed. He played music by Metallica, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Eagles and Tom Petty, and also began writing his own songs.
After learning of his cancer diagnosis at 18, Sammons lent his talent to help raise money for cancer research. He played at all five of the American Cancer Societys Relay for Life charity events in Manatee County in 2006.
He was a natural performer, said his stepfather, Jim Meier. He was at home on the stage with people watching him.
Sammons began performing professionally at local venues this past year.
Music helped him temporarily escape from everyday matters, including his illness.
When Im playing, it frees my spirit, he told the Herald-Tribune in July.
During his Los Angeles visit, Sammons shared with Slash some of his original music, which they recorded in a private studio.
I think I play a lot like him; not on purpose, thats just how it went, Sammons later remarked.
Slash later offered some encouraging words on a Web site Sammons stepfather created for the young musician.
Having spent a few hours jamming with him & his friend Tommy, I got to know Heath a little better. Not only is he an awesome kid, hes a good songwriter as well! Slash posted on www.heathsupdate.blogspot.com.
He definitely can play the guitar, that much I have witnessed, & pretty damn well too! Having Heath & his family out in LA was a gas, Slash added.
Jim Meier said his stepson had a promising musical career.
Several of Sammons performances can be viewed on YouTube. Recollections and condolences can be posted at caringbridge.org/visit/heathsammons.
Some of Sammons bandmates will pay tribute to him with a concert today at the Manatee County Fairgrounds from 2 to 6 p.m. A celebration of his life that includes a video tribute is planned for 11 a.m. today at First Baptist Church in Palmetto.
In addition to his mother and stepfather, Sammons is survived by his father and stepmother, Gary and Peggy Sammons of Bradenton; a brother, Colt, and a sister, Karissa, both of Palmetto; stepsisters Morgan Mitchell and Aubrey Lioce of Bradenton; and several extended family members.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Joy FM 88.1, 6469 Parkland Drive, Sarasota, FL 34243.

Romneys final nail in the coffinHide replies
Obamas coffin?
If Obama rreally cares for the common person why does he not go to Milwaukee and adress the the 15% unenployment among minorities instead of the liberal safe haven of planet Madison where he knows he will draw a big crowd that will look good on the eavening news......as For Charles, a nice thing he's doing for the flood victim's.......just to bad he supports a guy that has done absulutly nothing for the black population of our state.........Hide replies
He's going to be in Milwaukee on Saturday.
I stand corrected on his schedule but not on the lack of what he has done for the minority community or immagration or the economy or the national debt or passing a budget or or or or do I need to go on......................
well, the stock market has doubled since he's taken office and we've had over 24 months of consecutive job growth, as apart from the 800,000 we were shedding in the last months of 2008. His plan to reduce the defense budget, the ACA, and close tax loopholes on things such as capital gains, will make long term impacts on deficit reduction. The minority problem is much larger in Milwaukee than many other urban cities, and while it is more of a local issue, the fact that Obama is protecting American manufacturing (where many minorities lost their jobs moving over seas), also speaks to his commitment to the minority community.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but just because Mittens is wearing magic underwear doesn't mean he can snap his fingers and solve all of the problems in a day. Even he said it would take 8-12 years to completely turn the economy around, and the Ryan budget doesn't balance itself for nearly 50 years.
and "hope and changers" finger snapping has worked?
you must have missed the entire first paragraph.
I thought stocks were only good for the rich and capitol gains were bad, at least that is what the Left wants us to believe. What is this, Obama making the rich, richer?
3 visits over the next 4 days? More proof that the MU Law Poll is an outlier. No way would he travel to WI 3 times if he was up 8 points. Once? Maybe. What is interesting is Green Bay is a battleground area, but the other two visits are in Milwaukee and Madison. To me this is to rile up his base and try to get them to the polls on Tuesday.Hide replies
Exactly (MU poll is likely an outlier). Their internal polling must tell a vastly different story. I'll bet Wisconsin gets a lot of attention next Tuesday night...
Not only was Marquette an outlier, ALL the polls have been outliers!
And Ryan was in WI yesterday and Romney will be here Friday. They must have internal poll numbers that show they are behind.
See what I did there?
both sides are pounding WI, which tells you it is up for grabs and not in the dems pocket as polls have been suggesting.
I'm sure the liberal fanatics will be out in droves to see him in Mad Town......., where he can preach to his already converted choir...........Hide replies
You're damn right!!!
The Peoples Republic of Madistan.
Exactly where Obama belongs.Hide replies
His HOPE is to CHANGE America to Obamastan.
yes, stupid madison, always being voted one of the nicest places to live. stupid madison, with their jobs, and scientific advances. stupid madison, with one of the most respected universities in the country. stupid Madison. they need more Walmarts, they should strive to be those beacons of civilization; Waukesha or West Bend.
Scientifically smart perhaps, politically speaking Brookfield D is absolutely correct. Good try at mixing metaphors riverworstfan.
Do you know the difference between Communism and Socialism?
Complaining about areas that vote for one party while ignoring the fact that other parts of the state strictly for your party. That is funny. For those who complain about alleged communism in this country, you actually have more in common with Stalin (he really was an actual commie btw) than you would like to believe.
4 years of broken promises
4 years of lies
4 years of trillions added to best
4 years of deficit doubling
4 years of divisive, dictator-like behavior
4 years of saying one thing and doing another
what will 4 more years bring? Heaven help us if he is re-hired.Hide replies
4 years of 6 trillion added to debt.
Yeah, that sucks having to add a war to the deficit because his predecessor was in too much denial to do it his self. Please, do your "8 year" rant of W now...You do still like W right? You love W? Right? Where is that guy, W? Surplus to deficit without adding the war budget. Nice.
Romnesiaville....W-term three.
6? Now yer just makin' up numbers....Are you Paul Ryan?
But deficits don't matter according to Dick Cheney when he and GW ran up then record deficits. Apparently this was OK for the far right-until a Dem was elected. There should be no excuses from either side as a big deficit is bad regardless of who is in office.
Come on Wisconsin. Let's do our part to turn this thing around. Vote Romney/Ryan.Hide replies
I already did!
Me too!
Say NO to Obamastan.
Thank GOD Obama is visiting Madison. I was concerned that it might swing over to Romney.
Seriously, why is he wasting time and money in a city that would elect Judas if he ran as a Democrat?Hide replies
says the party that would vote against Jesus because he was a liberal.
@RvrwstBrewFan--how did your "I know YOU are but what am I" response answer my question?
Nothing about being liberal, everything about the failed policies, the lies, the epic failures, the increase in poverty.
@akaBarry--It's ALL about being liberal in Madison; why else would those out-of-touch granola-eaters vote for the failed president?
Campaign stops get you on local TV.
Look where he's going this week - GB today, Milw Saturday, Madison Monday. The three biggest (I am assuming) TV markets in the state.
And if you think Madison TV doesn't reach beyond Madison, then tell my why I keep seeing all the Ryan-for-Congress commercials on my local news broadcasts,.
I understand GB (a swing area) & Milw (because of your good point about local TV); but he already has Madison& its surrounding areas locked. He doesn't even have to worry about getting-out-the-vote in those areas.
That's why Romney isn't spending any time in Texas or Alabama.
(And I *hate* granola!)
I wasn't aware that Jesus had a political affiliation... What book in the Bible am I missing here..?
wait, so now, after disputing a CEOs email threatening with jobs with mentioning Black Panthers in Philadelphia, after disputing Romney handing out sandwiches in Waukesha with 'smokes for votes', after disputing every dirty and illegal stunt pulled this campaign by the GOP, you are accusing ME of 'i know you are but what am i'?
Is it lonely up there on your pedestal?
In an actual response to your question, it's to make an appearance as close to election day as possible in front of the largest university in the state, as college students have a historically low voter turn out. Get them riled up on Monday to vote on Tuesday. Thats why.
Get the hippie vote.

"In the subcommittee of commerce, it was very obvious that they had already made up their mind, the majority that they wanted to ban slaughter. The ag committee was very clear they did not want to ban slaughter."
Dr. Bonnie Beaver is a professor of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M.
"Ninety eight percent of the U.S. public is at least three generations off the farm, so they don't have a real understanding of the production of any kind of animal."
The USDA classifies horses as livestock.
"Those who typically work with horses, it's a non-issue, of course they're livestock. But many in the public that don't see them in the many uses horses have now thought of them as a pet. Horses are property."
Proponents of the anti slaughter bill argue horse owners will still be able to put an animal down.
"Then what do you do with the carcass. Even if you can kill it humanely, what do you do with the carcass, because in many areas it's illegal to bury, or the landfill, that's a couple of hundred dollars to take it to the landfill if they accept them and that varies from area to area. You can have them put down by a veterinarian, and then you've got a carcass that's contaminated. Now we can also kill predators that eat that carcass if it's not buried."
Opponents to the bill say it will have unintended consequences.
"It's already happened in certain areas, that there these horses will be dumped out, just turned loose, and ultimately it's going to be the public that's going to pick up the cost, just as they have with stray dogs and cats."

Women in the US may not have equality, but at least I know that if I need an abortion, I can get one.
Not so in Nicaragua, where doctors are predicting a total abortion ban (including in cases of rape, incest, and when the woman's life is endangered) will imperil the lives of thousands of women and result in thousands more illegal abortions annually. Currently, due in large part to the difficulty of getting a legal abortion even before the ban (a woman had to either prove she was raped or convince three doctors to testify that her life was at risk) about 32,000 illegal abortions are performed in Nicaragua every year.
On a related note, the BBC reports that unsafe abortions kill 68,000 women a year worldwide, and send at least five million other women to the hospital for infections and other complications.
Lead researcher Dr Susheela Singh said: "The evidence shows that the health burden of unsafe abortion is large.
"The most effective way of eliminating this highly preventable cause of maternal illness and death, would be to make safe and legal abortion services available and accessible.
"A second, more immediately achievable, goal is to prevent unintended pregnancies in the first place through improved contraception use."
Meanwhile, in Africa, the AIDS pandemic is getting worse after years of progress, thanks in large part to ineffective Bush administration policies that emphasize abstinence until marriage over condom use. Many women are infected by their husbands, and are not in a position to abstain from sex, even as more married men have multiple partners.

Patient Comments: Intestinal Gas - Effective Treatments
Question:What kinds of treatments have been effective for your intestinal gas?
Comment from: zimexlady, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: August 27
I have made two trips to the emergency room with horrible stomach pains only to discover it is gas. Last night from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., I rolled on the floor, and did waist bends rocking back and forth on the edge of my bed to force the gas out. It took six hours to relieve the pain little-by-little before I could fall asleep. The ER did a CAT scan and X-ray that showed nothing was wrong. Beginning today, I am going to omit fiber and fruit from my diet. I truly believe that is the cause. All this "healthy" eating is making me miserable! I intend to try the above suggestion of ginger ale even though I have not had a soda since 1969.
Comment from: beedee, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: July 01
Ginger or garlic tea helps my intestinal gas.
Published: July 24
Something I have not read here that was the cause of my bloating, is stomach surgery, I had the nissan fundiplocation to repair my esophagus and stop acid reflux. In order for the doctor to preform the operation, they must pump your stomach full of air. I had so much bloating after the operation I felt 20 months pregnant. Even my family noticed the change. None of my clothes fit, yet I weighed the same (AIR DOSEN'T WEIGH ANYTHING). But the operation was worth it I am heartburn free.
Comment from: AbbyG, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 17
For intermittent problems with intestinal gas, the best thing I have ever found is chamomile tea, brewed strong. It isn't an instant cure, but it relaxes something inside the intestines and eases discomfort. Limit the chamomile to not more than 2 cups per day. Also, probiotics work wonders.
Comment from: Nancy, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: February 26
I have been suffering from excessive intestinal gas for more than two years and nothing seems to help. I have tried everything over the counter to no avail. I've gone through many tests and still nothing has been found. The worst thing with my situation is that the gas comes out without me knowing, and it is foul-smelling. My breath stinks, too. I've tried Beano, a gluten-free diet, Simethicone, a sugar-free diet, less fat, and nothing has worked.
Comment from: Sothankful, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 29
I can't thank the person who submitted the 'fennel tea' suggestion enough. I had gastric bypass surgery 17 months ago and have lived with pain the whole time. I have been to the emergency room and admitted to the hospital with no help and still the pain continued. The other day I was beside myself with pain so I began searching the net and this site with the comment on 'fennel' tea, it works! Again thank you to the previous person for submitting the comment.
Comment from: ActionWriter, 75 or over Male (Patient) Published: October 19
Intestinal gas bothered me for years. I had tried the over the counter supplements, ginger and a few other "remedies". I cut down on the fruits and starch, and researched the prescription I was taking for cancer. I had been cancer-free for four years when a friend asked if I ever took fennel tea. I didn't know even what it was, but I found that drinking a warm cup each morning caused my waist to slim down to where I am starting to show a "six-pack". I never thought something so simple would do the job. I no longer have problems with gas and bloating.
Comment from: SuppChild, 45-54 Female Published: July 01
I have found by doing monthly herbal intestinal cleanses, drinking plenty of water, and taking herbal supplements -- such as white kidney bean and all-natural digestion stimulants -- that my frequent gas problem has decreased.
Comment from: (Patient) Published: April 03
I think probably the best way to get rid of digestive problems that haven't reached the point of needing medical intervention is to simply change your diet to one that promotes good digestion and healing properties. I find that properly prepared Indian food works wonders for this. The store I work in is next to an Indian restaurant. There food is properly prepared to digest easily with all the herbs added for this purpose. When I eat my normal Western diet of coffee in the morning, a sandwich for lunch and a big dinner loaded up with meat and grease, I have a horrible time with stomach pain, gas, chest pains, breathing restrictions, chest tightness, and so on. Every time I have gone next door and got my Indian food for lunch instead, the next day I have no stomach or digestive complaints. Of course, the problem with this whole concept is that most Westerners are hard-headed and don't want to eat food that really promotes healing and stops the self-aggravation of their problems. They want to do what they want to do and expect the doctors to fix it when it goes haywire. I lived for two years at an Indian Ashram and ate nothing but this type of food, and I can tell you that I never had a problem. It was only after leaving and going back to indulging in the Western ways of eating that all of these problems started and have been getting worse over the years. The bottom line is your choice of foods is either your medicine or your poison.

Good reasons to go hybrid
Published: Thursday, April 20, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 20, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Hybrids not only emit fewer harmful pollutants into the environment than their comparable nonhybrid counterparts, they're also quieter and more fuel efficient and many have greater acceleration. Overall, hybrids are more cost-effective.
Many people don't see the benefit of buying a more fuel-efficient car such as the Honda Civic Hybrid over its less efficient but otherwise comparable model, the Honda Civic Sedan.
Current prices run at about $20,000 for the Honda Civic Sedan and about $22,000 for the Honda Civic Hybrid.
With the current tax credit for buying a hybrid vehicle at $3,150, it is cheaper for the consumer simply to buy a hybrid vehicle.
Tax credits aside, at $2.50 per gallon of gasoline, one needs to travel only 80,000 miles to break even on the price difference. For every 100 miles traveled after that, the hybrid owner saves one gallon of gasoline. (www.green hybrid. com)
If, after breaking even on the price, both cars traveled an additional 100,000 miles, the hybrid owner would save $2,500. Savings will increasingly grow with steadily rising gas prices.
Should you invest in a hybrid car? Only if you want to save money.

How does this work with an existing site that already has a considerable amount of style changes written into it's child's style.css via Appearance/Editor...?
Does Configurator take over that child, so to speak, and not have a problem if some of the ways it is done in there is not necessarily the way Configurator would have done it, though it causes the desired responses...? Could there bcome conflicts that garble some of what has already been accomplished...?
And if it is workable, is there a procedure to follow in such a situation, so it works out well...?
And if later something is added/changed via the Appearance/Editor, will that cause problems...?
I'm beginning to learn to use Configurator on a new install, but nervous about an existing site...

text: In collaboration architectures, a computer must perform both processing and transmission tasks. Intuitively, it seems that these independent tasks should be executed in concurrent threads. We show that when multiple cores are not available to schedule these tasks, a sequential scheme in which the processing (transmission) task is done first tends to optimize feedback (feedthrough) times for most users. The concurrent policy gives feedback and feedthrough times that are in between the ones supported by the sequential policies. However, in comparison to the process-first policy, it can noticeably degrade feedback times, and in comparison to the transmit-first policy, it can noticeably degrade feedthrough times without noticeably improving feedback times. We present definitions, examples, and simulations that explain and compare these three scheduling schemes for centralized and replicated collaboration architectures using both unicast and multicast communication.

Sometime a couple years ago, I accidentally deleted my blog from my wordpress. Techie friends have recovered what they can, but it's never been quite the same...
When you click to my blog section, you are redirected to
where the caption reads "404 Page does not exist".
However, you can still see the archive of all my recent blog posts, still fully functioning when you click on them. It's just the initial blog page with proper formatting that has seemed to disappear. Perhaps the permalink has been erased?
Is this salvageable? If not, how can I reset my wordpress while maintaining my domain name? I don't mind losing content as it's easy to back up but I'm sick of my site looking broken.

Anzac Day was commemorated in Queenstown, Arrowtown and
Glenorchy by thousands of residents and visitors of all ages,
despite the first instance of rain on the day in more than 20
Queenstown Returned and Services Association (RSA) president
David Geddes said cancellation of the parade to the memorial
service was considered until showers eased. The programme
continued as planned.
''Memorial service numbers were down, but we put that down to
it being a grim day and there being a very good turnout for
the dawn service,'' Mr Geddes said.
''The memorial service was very well received, with lots of
comments from visitors from the North Island and Australia
saying it was the best Anzac Day service they've attended.''
Mr Geddes said the dawn service will be held in Queenstown
for a third year in 2015. It was expected to become an annual
mainstay, given the support from the community, especially
young people.
The Anzac Day memorial service overflowed, with people paying
tribute in the Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall.
Rain prompted the parade to go to the Arrowtown and District
War Memorial beside the fire station to prevent participants
slipping on the wet grass of Memorial Hill.
Otherwise, Arrowtown RSA president John Lindsay said he was
''very pleased'' with the service.
There were ''excellent numbers, crowd-wise''.
''We put extra seating in the supper room, but there were
still an awful lot of people standing at the back of the hall
and outside.''
Next year's Anzac Day will mark the centenary of the Anzac
landings at Gallipoli. Arrowtown put its best foot forward on
Saturday, with about 12,000 people attending the first full
day of the autumn festival.
Now in its 30th year, director Toni Stockham was
''astounded'' at the record numbers attending this year's
Parking was at a premium as buses, camper vans and cars made
their way into the town. Buckingham St was lined end to end
with vintage cars by 9.30am, which later led the festival's
street parade.
On the Village Green more than 100 stall-holders sold their
wares - from arts and crafts, to jewellery, food and local
products - while children got to grips with every style of
bike imaginable.
The crowds dispersed just before 2pm for the street parade,
featuring community groups, clubs and businesses vying to win
best float award.
That award went to the Arrowtown Cubs and Scouts ,who built a
two-part float. Sponges were lobbed from one to the other,
and autumn leaves were thrown in return.
About 6000 people packed into the Queenstown Events Centre to
enjoy the inaugural Queenstown Blues and Roots Festival.
The oval was lined with food and beverage stalls but all
focus was on the main stage, where party goers were treated
to some of New Zealand's best acts including Fly My Pretties,
The Black Seeds, King Leo and The Johnnys, along with
international acts Elvis Costello and The Imposters, and The
Doobie Brothers.
Queenstown police warned a man at the festival who jumped the
hot dog queue and got into a fight with a man who abused him
for jumping the queue.
Senior Constable Julian Cahill said the queue-jumper punched
the other man.
An intoxicated woman was ejected from the event after she
''managed to get up on the stage''.
The action continued in Arrowtown on Sunday, with a mad-cap
dash down Buckingham St pitting 36 competitors in the Pub to
Pub Challenge. It was won by the Arrowtown Rugby team. The
forecast rain held off until the final pints were poured on
the Village Green at the annual Pie and Pint Festival.
Masterchef NZ contestants Jaimie Stodler and Bec Stanley,
both of Arrowtown, judged Wild Earth's pulled pork pie as the
best of the event. Awards also went to Jonesy's Cafe &
Bar, The Fork'n Tap and the Arrowtown Bakery.
The festival continues until Sunday. Highlights including
tonight's Quiz Night at the Athenaeum Hall; an Autumn Night
in Arrowtown with Suzanne Prentice tomorrow and the sold out
Art2Wear shows on Friday and Saturday evenings.
It ends on Sunday with Arrow's Gold, a variety show at the
Athenaeum Hall, coinciding with comedian Billy Connolly
playing in Queenstown on Sunday evening.

Children's Health
Antipsychotic Drugs May Triple Kids' Diabetes Risk
The risk continued to rise with cumulative antipsychotic dose, and remained high for as long as a year after kids were taken off their antipsychotics. When the researchers looked only at kids 17 and younger, the findings held.
"Diabetes can develop relatively soon after beginning these drugs," Ray said. "We found that the risk was increased within the first year of use, and this is consistent with case reports. The risk may need to be considered even for relatively short periods of use."
The specific antipsychotic medication used with children didn't seem to have any effect on reducing risk of diabetes.
"In our study, we didn't see a difference between different types of drugs," Ray said. "It may be an effect of the whole class of antipsychotics." The majority of participants were taking "atypical" antipsychotics, also called second-generation antipsychotics.
Another expert agreed that the study results are cause for concern.
The findings should lead doctors and parents to question the "off-label" use of antipsychotic drugs for conditions other than schizophrenia and psychosis, said Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
"There aren't many antipsychotic medications that are FDA-approved for use in children," Duckworth said. "When you're using a compound that doesn't have an indication, you have to be very careful about the risk/benefit assessment of that medication. You want to make sure you've reviewed all the alternative medicines and alternative strategies."
Ray agreed, arguing that doctors should consider all other alternative treatments before resorting to antipsychotics.
If children must be placed on antipsychotics, then doctors and parents need to keep a close eye on them for early warning signs of diabetes. "Frequent monitoring of the factors that lead to diabetes would be important, including weight and glucose intolerance," Ray said.
In the past 20 years, growing numbers of U.S. children and teens -- especially overweight kids -- have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, formerly known as adult onset diabetes. This puts them at risk of developing other serious health conditions such as heart disease and kidney disease.
Although the study found an association between the use of antipsychotics and a greatly increased risk of childhood type 2 diabetes, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

"We're committed to making elegant wines, true to the fruit."
The "Wine Bug"
Prior to making high-quality wines in the Walla Walla Valley, Chuck Reininger could be found high atop mountains as a senior climbing guide for a Tacoma-based company. When Chuck married Tracy Tucker, a Walla Walla native, he hung up his ice axe and moved to the valley to begin a new chapter in his life. Prior to moving to Walla Walla, Chuck helped long-time friends with crush at Waterbrook Winery. He began experimenting with home winemaking in 1993 and officially caught the "wine bug." His weekend hobby quickly turned into a dream to produce super-premium wines of his own: "I became obsessed with starting my own winery," he admits. In 1997, Chuck and Tracy launched their dream—owning a premiere winery in the Walla Walla Valley.
Blending Old with New
From 1997 through 2004, REININGER Winery was located in a small but functional facility located at the historic Walla Walla Regional Airport. The "shack-teau," as Chuck and Tracy fondly nicknamed it, was originally designated as a WWII Army Air Corp runway "crash house" and "base theater" where old time crooners and classic films entertained troops.
In 2003, REININGER Winery purchased seven acres of land, located six miles west of Walla Walla, adjacent to Highway 12, and began renovating two pre-existing potato sheds into a remodeled 15,000 square foot winery, complete with production facility, administrative offices and a spacious new tasting room. "We worked closely with architect, Jon Campbell, to create a modern production facility incorporating rustic design elements," said Chuck Reininger. "This resulted in a unique atmosphere for events and entertaining."
In that same year, Chuck and Tracy partnered with Jay and Cyndi Tucker, and Kelly and Ann Tucker, Tracy's two brothers and sisters-in-law. Kelly Tucker serves as general manager and oversees sales and marketing. Jay Tucker functions as tasting room director, plant manager, and grower relations contact. The addition of both brothers as full-time working partners allows Chuck to focus his activities on the art of making wine.
In December 2004, REININGER Winery announced the debut of a new label—Helix. Helix sources fruit from the larger Columbia Valley, allowing for increased production and expanded distribution, while REININGER wines maintain limited production, focusing on fruit from the Walla Walla Valley. Ultimately, the family believes that "Helix allows us to expand our reach to a new group of wine enthusiasts."
Helix wines also have a distinctive new label, featuring an image of a snail. Helix, the genus name for the Burgundian snail, is the creme de la creme of escargot. As the back label explains, the Tucker family has been wheat farming in and around Walla Walla since the late 1800's. Kelly, Jay and Tracy's grandparents met, married and owned a farm near Helix—a rural farming community near Pendleton, Oregon. With their granddad's approval, they sold the Helix farm in order to build a new winery and create a second label. The Reininger's and Tucker's believe that "by naming it 'Helix,' we are honoring our grandparents and the agricultural heritage of our family."
Dedication to Excellence
REININGER Winery's dedication to bringing out the best in Walla Walla fruit has been well-rewarded. In addition, REININGER Winery has been integral in establishing the Walla Walla Valley's reputation as a top wine producing region. Both REININGER and Helix by REININGER reflect an ongoing commitment to retain the highest quality, care, and consistency in winemaking.
Our Promise:
We are so confident in these wine's ability to impress that we offer this guarantee: Our REININGER and Helix wines will compare favorably to other wines of similar value, or we will replace them with wine of equal value from our list of REININGER or Helix current releases.
The Reininger & Helix Experience—
Personalized Tastings. Delicious Wines. Terrific Variety.

Why I Love the Dollar Tree
from last week's parties:
THANKS to Kathe over at Kathe With An E for featuring it as the Most Viewed from last week's
You're gonna Love It Party
Atta Girl , Marty over at Marty's Musings, Barb over at The EveryDay Home and Suzy over at Worthing Court for featuring it as one of the Most Viewed from last week's
Home(Work) Party!
Who would have thought a post about what I buy at The Dollar Tree would interest so many people!!!!
And I also want to THANK Richella over at Imparting Grace for featuring my post
Patriotic Front Porch and Yard from last week's Grace at Home Party!
Please take some time to visit and maybe link up to all these great weekly parties!!
Now you may have recognized the first picture in this post as my new Header Picture......
Speaking of Header Pictures, I recently read on a few Blogs that Header Pictures are not the way to go any more and just the Title of Your Blog is the new Thing.
Well, I have never been one to follow the Herd and I like Header pictures because when I first visit a blog, I immediately look for pictures to see if that particular Blogger's style is a style that would appeal to me and I hate to have to search all over the Blog and keep clicking on the "Read More" link to find out if this is a Blogger that I would want to follow.
So, I will stick with my outdated header pictures and change them from time to time to reflect what is currently going on in my life and around my home......
Now back to that Header picture and this post......
Welcome to our Secret Cottage Garden and Patio !!!
But I bet that my patio and back yard is probably more private then yours is ,even with another row of 10 Townhouses directly behind me and up on a hill looking down at my back yard......
Now my yard and patio combined is about 20' by 20'. I call it my Postage Stamp back yard. It may have something to do with Joe being a Letter Carrier for the U. S Postal Service.
This is what you see when you stand at the back of my little yard , looking at our house......
To the left and straight back.......
The Trees that the neighbors behind us ,and to the side of us, have planted along with our trees, have grown to provide quite the privacy fence!
So when we sit on our Patio, no one behind us can actually see us!!
Our home is raised up about a good 3 feet from the house that adjoins us on the one side. With the addition of the privacy lattice to the fence and side of the Patio, no one can see when we are sitting in that chair there.
So that explains the " Secret" part of this post......
Is your yard and patio that private?
Now on to the Patio part......
In the beginning of the Spring, I went a little crazy with spray painting a lot of things that I have had on the Patio for several years.
The funny thing is when I bought all those cans of spray paint on Clearance in A.C. Moore in Jan., I had no idea what I was going to use them for .
Nor did I know that those bright colors were going to be Thee "Colors" for Outdoor things for the Summer of 2013!!
If you missed my post on My Colorful Patio Reveal, please click HERE
I finally planted all my pots with annuals!!!
And we narrowly missed getting Frost on Memorial Day morning when the low temp. was 36 degrees!!!
Here is what this side of the Patio looks like now......
Hopefully, my little sign does not hold true!!
I place votive candles in the yellow chair to light at night......
Binoculars to watch the birds attracted by my neighbor's bird feeders and a new pink lantern bought at Michael's..........
Begonias and impatiens are shade loving annuals....
To see more of my Dollar Tree Seasonal Decor , please click HERE
The tree has lights on it and is hooked up to the back porch light switch......
It looks really pretty at night but that will be for another post.....
On the bottom of the plant stand is my feeble attempt at a Mini Garden from last year.....
And now for The Cottage Garden part.......
3 years ago, after losing our sweet Savanna, we decided not to get another dog and I decided to make our small yard into a Cottage Garden.......
Again, the privacy provided by the Trees......
I laid this sidewalk myself many years ago!!
This is our little piece of Heaven on Earth.............
I hope you enjoyed the Tour and I hope you will come back when I share more of my Cottage Garden and updates on how my plants and flowers are growing on a weekly basis ........
The East Coast will be in a Heat Wave over the next few days so I am sure my flowers and plants will be loving it even though I will definitely be NOT loving it!!

The company confirmed the slip occurred yesterday following
heavy rain in the area.
The mine site, which consists of an open pit, an underground
mine and an adjacent processing plant, is located between
Palmerston and Ranfurly.
"At the Macraes open pit operation, located at Macraes Flat,
Otago, a section of the west wall failed following heavy
rainfall," Oceana Gold said in a statement.
"The wall was being continuously monitored and there were not
personnel working in the open pit at the time of the failure.
Access to the underground mine was cut off by the failure,
but the underground mine itself is unaffected."
All staff who were working underground were brought safely to
the surface.
APNZ understand the workers were flown to safety by
helicopter, and the mine closed as a result of the slip.
Oceana Gold said it expected "minimal impact" on its
short-term production, with stockpiles of ore available for
Worksafe NZ confirmed an investigator was on their way to the
mine site today.
Earlier this year, 39 Gough Group employees working at the
Macraes mine were laid off as a result of cost-cutting
measures at Oceana Gold.

Drug trade fuels violence
Published: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 10:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 10:47 a.m.
To The Editor: I was very happy to read that Tyler Kilpatrick will be coming home soon and is recovering nicely.
I too was a foreign exchange student in college and lived in Mexico City for six months. I never experienced even a hint of violence and thought of the Mexican people as some of the kindest I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Having just returned from spending a month in Mexico, my opinion of the Mexican people has not changed at all; however, I have seen the terrible consequences of America's never-ending appetite for illegal drugs, most of which are controlled by several cartels in Mexico that are responsible for the current violence and plethora of homicides.
A few years ago, if there was a single murder in the entire country of Mexico, it was front page headlines in every newspaper there. This year there were over 1,800 murders in Juarez alone. This violence is rapidly creeping across our borders and is another valid reason to use due diligence in discouraging illegal border crossing.

From the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Right Words at the Right Time" comes a one-of-a-kind collection of inspiring stories about ordinary women who have reinvented themselves in extraordinary ways.
"You can be anything you want to be." "Reach for the moon." "It's never too late to make a change." We've heard it all. But anyone who has ever tried to make a big life change knows that it can be a bit more complicated--and scary--than that. How do you get up the nerve (and confidence) to actually take the leap? No one knows better than the women profiled in this powerful book by actress, activist, and bestselling author Marlo Thomas.
Using the same kinds of personal stories that made Thomas's landmark collection "The Right Words at the Right Time" a blockbuster success, "It Ain't Over...Till It's Over" introduces us to more than fifty amazing women who are proving that it's never too late to live out a dream--to get a PhD, travel the world, launch a business, indulge a creative impulse, make a family recipe famous, or fill a void in life with a challenging new experience. Meet a homemaker who fulfilled a childhood ambition by going to med school at age forty-three; a widow with three young kids who turned a jewelry-making hobby into a successful business on Etsy; a woman who lived out a childhood dream by taking a cross-country trip (on horseback, no less ); and a sister and mother who channeled their immense grief from losing a brother and son in 9/11 into creating a global foundation to care for the emotionally wounded.
Brimming with anecdotes that will inspire smiles, tears, and--most of all--hope, "It Ain't Over" speaks to women of all ages with an empowering message: The best is yet to come.

She is the author of six bestselling books: Free to Be You and Me"; Free to Be a Family"; The Right Words at the Right Time"; The Right Words at the Right Time, Volume 2: Your Turn!"; Thanks & Giving: All Year Long"; and her memoir, Growing Up Laughing: My Story and the Story of Funny".

Released: Dec 01st, 2003
Running Time: 120
Director: David Luger
Company: Red Light District
Cast: Scott Lyons, Ariana Jollee, David Luger, Joel Lawrence, Anthony Hardwood, Mr. Pete, Cindy Crawford, Arnold Schwarzenpecker, Carmen Perez, Mark Ashley, Mario (I), Trinity James, Demi Marx, Mark Sky, Brandon Iron, Guy DiSilva, Dillon (I), Benjamin Pratt, Steve Holmes (I), Brett Rockman, Peaches Arnaz, Tyler Knight
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
For guys who love girls who love to swallow.
Cindy Crawford is giddy for her scene with Dillon, eagerly telling viewers what she wants to do to him. So when the same guy who took her video virginity shows up, she knows the drill and methodically drains his balls after a couple of high-energy fuck positions. But it turns out that she is just warming up. She takes care of director David Luger and then swallows the loads of three more faceless dudes while making crazy eyes and wiggling her tongue. "What are you gonna do tonight?" Luger asks her when she's finished. "Eat some more cum! I'm on the rampage," Crawford replies. Jeez.
Crawford has competition in this parade of serial swallowers, as Ariana Jollee leads off with a gritty d.p. and Peaches Arnaz follows with a marathon day. She fucks and sucks the director, then services two guys in a full scene, and then blows the director again when he follows her into the bathroom.

Guilty plea in Vt. town embezzlementThe Associated Press | March 25,2013BURLINGTON — A former Vermont town clerk and treasurer has pleaded guilty to embezzling several hundred thousand dollars from the town of Weybridge.
Karen Brisson served for about 28 years in Weybridge, a town of less than 900 residents 30 miles south of Burlington.
Prosecutors say Brisson stole money from 2006 to 2012, by writing checks from the town to herself. Officials say a forensic audit puts the town's loss at $476,000.
Brisson's attorney says Brisson's home is for sale and she has signed the mortgage over to the town. The town says it has a $500,000 insurance plan through the Vermont League of Cities and Towns.
She is scheduled to be sentenced in July.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

Effective management enables businesses and organisations to achieve their goals. Management is more than just the leadership and control exercised by senior executives – management skills are practised by people in all roles and are valuable at every stage of your career.
Regardless of your primary profession, you will probably take on management responsibilities at some point, usually sooner rather than later. Studying management equips you with the leadership, analysis, planning and decision-making skills to succeed from day one. Key management responsibilities include:
- Providing direction through leadership, strategic planning and decision-making
- Recruiting, training and managing staff, and developing the capabilities of the organisation
- Developing efficiency, quality and innovation in operations in a global context
To fulfil these responsibilities successfully, managers need specialised knowledge. They need to know what makes organisations successful, and how to analyse, manage and improve performance in a range of organisational areas.
Management studies are an ideal starting point for students seeking careers in the fields of human resource management, international management, operations management and organisational development. They are also a valuable complement to studies in another area, such as accounting or finance.
Students are able to study subjects from the following management specialist areas:
- Human resource management
- International business
- Business management
- Operations management
I chose to study a Bachelor of Commerce at Melbourne because of the reputation of the University. The course has been challenging and fulfilling, and I have enjoyed the ability to compliment my studies in finance and management with breadth in politics and law. The wider opportunities presented to me have been invaluable, and I feel that I have developed the professional and analytical skills that will be critical to my career development at NAB, where I have secured a graduate role.
Gabrielle Lim
Bachelor of Commerce student
Majoring in management
The Bachelor of Commerce major in management requires you to complete a sequence of at least four management subjects. It is designed to build progressively on your knowledge in the discipline and help you develop expertise in the core areas of management. Here are management subject options you can choose from:
|Laying the foundations
|Principles of Management
|Organisational Behaviour
|Business in the Global Economy
|Business Ethics
|Managing Human Resources
|Acquiring Analytical Skills
|Business Decision Analysis
|Business Negotiations
|Strategic Management
|Managing Operations
|Managing Entrepreneurship and Innovation
|Supply Chain Management
|Project Management
|Managing Employee Relations
|Learning through practice
|Management Consulting
|Global Management Consulting
|Business Case Analysis

Ahlquist v. Cranston[edit]
On April 4, 2011, 10th-grade student Jessica Ahlquist filed a federal lawsuit aimed at ending the school's display of a prayer on a banner. District Court Judge Ronald R. Lagueux issued a decision[1] in favor of Jessica on January 11, 2012. The decision was in part based on the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, and the Lemon v. Kurtzman, Lynch v. Donnelly, and Lee v. Weisman US Supreme Court cases. Upon learning of the results of the case, some residents of Cranston, and others opposed to the decision and to Jessica's atheism, took their anger out on Jessica on Twitter and Facebook,[2] and local florists refused to deliver to her.[3]
Notable alumni[edit]
- Jessica Ahlquist - speaker/activist
- Monty Are I - An alternative rock band named after Arthur Montanaro, a teacher at West.
- Amber van Eeghen - former cheerleader for the New England Patriots. She is also the daughter of former NFL running back Mark van Eeghen, who also attended Cranston West.

The "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" star will play Lola beginning Nov. 21.
Just because pride weekend is past doesn't mean the celebrations of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people on and off Broadway are over.
Plus the "Kinky Boots" replacements are here, Hugh Jackman disappears from 'Houdini" and meet the "Bronx Bombers."
Plus "Kinky Boots" originals depart, Mazzie heads to "Bullets Over Broadway" and HBO nabs "700 Sundays."
The Cyndi Lauper-scored "Kinky Boots" has earned a leading 13 Tony Award nominations, with the British import "Matilda: The Musical" close behind with 12.
"Kinky Boots" is a brash, if predictable musical that will appeal to fans of composer Cyndi Lauper and writer Harvey Fierstein

In recent weeks, Anne Bryan, 24, celebrated a dramatic Phillies victory with her father, cooked a birthday dinner for her brother, and went for a drive along the Schuylkill with her mother.
On Sunday, those relatives eulogized Bryan at an emotional memorial service in Center City, just days after she was killed in the building collapse at the corner of 22d and Market Streets.
Bryan, of Lower Merion, daughter of city treasurer Nancy Winkler, was recalled as kind, talented, and passionate, with a variety of interests and a bright future ahead.
She loved painting, singing, cooking, and poetry, speakers recalled, and was politically active and always asking insightful questions.
