"Our invites were personalized to match our colours (navy). They turned out amazing and we also customized with a picture on the back as well. The quality of the paper and printing was amazing. Very happy with shipping, as it arrived to Canada very quickly. We are in the process of ordering our Thank you cards now. Thanks for all your help :)"
"After looking at samples from a number of different companies I decided to order my wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas and I'm really glad I did! I submitted my artwork and within 2 days they had a digital proof for me to look at. I even received a phone call to let me know it had been sent. At this time I decided to make a quick change and they had a new proof to me within the hour. I was expecting to wait a couple weeks before receiving them but within 2 days of approving my final artwork they were already at my door! They look great, feel great and I'm so excited to send them out! Thank you for your excellent customer service!! I will highly recommend you to anyone I know that needs invitations and will be sure to come to you again when I need anything else!"
"I wanted something fun and slightly informal and this product was perfect. We're a young couple with a mostly young guest list, so we didn't want anything stuffy. This is modern, well laid out, and the service was great. I had to get some personalizing done because the full name of our church wasn't fitting on there. This was important to us because this is the oldest church in the area, so I wanted it to be as accurate as possible. Everything was to me in the time they said it would be. They are very punctual and they always have some sort of deal being offered, so there shouldn't be a need to pay full price unless it's a last minute order. I will be coming to WPD for all of my needs and I would suggest them to anyone."
"Soooo pleased with this purchase. The quality was better than I expected, and the designer was so accommodating when I asked for a change before the final printing."
"This vibrant, modern style is chic, eye catching, original, just like the couple getting married. I love the front/back of the card, the font and color combinations. I haven't quite decided on my invites yest, but these invitations make it harder to choose!"

Don't Bother – Number one, they accept cash only. Number two, my boyfriend and I paid 20$ for two coffees, a breakfast sandwhich, and one waffle. The food was okay, but nothing special, and it took about half an hour to get to us, although the resturant was not even full. However, we recieved our bill about two minutes after ordering. The "authenticity" seemed like grungyness plus a premptive bad attitude. I appreciate old diners, but I would never go back to this one.
I would even go to a Cracker Barrel before going back to M.A.D. – Normally I love old school diners like this but the cook/owner is unbearable. I have had a number of bad experiences there, one where the cook literally forced my girlfriend to eat something she had never tried before and another time the food was literally frozen. There are plenty of better places in Albany to get breakfast. I would even go to Cracker Barrel before I went back to M.A.D.
Locals come to this bustling neighborhood joint for a great breakfast, even at lunchtime. – In Short
Located among the downtown warehouses, this historic diner was refurbished in 1986 when scenes for the film "Ironweed" were shot here. The tiny restaurant's counter stools and booths fill up fast. Miss Albany serves bangers and eggs, huevos rancheros, and the usual run of lunch sandwiches and burgers. French fries can be ordered to specification; use the oversize display models to choose your desired level of crispiness. There's a special brunch menu on weekends.
Favorite Diner – A must stop every time I'm in Albany. Great breakfast food and well worth the trip.
Check out Miss Albany – This place is a real jewel for those who treasure uniquely local eateries. I will certainly grant that it is not totally modern and operating room spotless, but to me this is part of it's charm. OK, so I might not want to eat off the floor, but I don't do that at home either!!
The variety of food available is 'way above your typical diner fare-- If all you order here is a "coke and a straw", you're missing a lot.

He runs with a cellphone pressed tightly against his hip, but she never calls, so for 26.2 miles he runs with his memories.
In the first hour, she is walking again through the German countryside. By the middle of the race, she is dancing again to their classical favorites. At the finish line, she is strolling with their two children into the best years of her life.
Then John Creel, 77, towels off, catches his breath, and returns to the marathon that is his life as a full-time caregiver for wife Ingrid, whose body has been rendered helpless by the evils of multiple sclerosis.
PHOTOS: A marathon as a full-time caregiver
"My life is pretty simple," Creel said. "It's all about taking the next step … just take the next step."
The Brea man's next official step will be taken in the Dodger Stadium parking lot Sunday as one of 24,000 runners in the 28th L.A. Marathon. In what is annually trumpeted as the human race, Creel will be one of the most human of runners.
When his wife's degenerative illness confined her to a wheelchair in 1995, Creel made the decision that he would be her primary caretaker. When the stress from that decision became overwhelming, he began running for relief.
Tips on running and recovering from the L.A. Marathon
That was 59 marathons ago. He has run at least one marathon in each state. He transports her in her wheelchair to most of his races, twice even making sure somebody pushed her to the finish line. She doesn't understand running, but she likes the company. He sometimes weeps over her losses, but he still loves her smile.
He feeds, bathes and clothes her. Yet after 53 years of marriage, he says she is his strength.
"Honestly, I don't know what I would do without her," he said.
And he doesn't know what she would do without him. If he dies first, she probably will have to go into an assisted-living facility, and he can barely tolerate even the thought, so he keeps running, for her, for him, for them.
Said Ingrid with a grin: "Sometimes I don't understand why he has to run so much, but it makes him happy, so let him run, let him run."
Said John with tears: "She's the best thing that ever happened to me."
You can glimpse strands of their enduring affection in a back room of their Brea home, the place where Ingrid spends her days watching television, the channel tuned to episodes of "Little House on the Prairie" and "Bonanza."
All around the room there are vases with purple orchids, some blooming, some decaying, gifts from weekly visits to Trader Joe's.
"I love orchids," said Ingrid. "He still brings me orchids."
She still calls him "Johnny." He sometimes calls her "Mom." During a recent weeknight interview they giggled at each other from across the modest living room, he in his shiny running shoes, she in her black wheelchair, their lives having taken them to different worlds, their spirit forever connected
"When you get older in a marriage, things change, but the caring just gets deeper," John said.
They still laugh about how they met in 1958 on a snowy night in a small town in Germany. She didn't speak English, he barely spoke German, yet a year later they were married. At the time he was a member of the U.S. Army's Green Berets. Today he runs his marathons with the actual green beret atop his balding head. It reeks of sweat and has been tattered by moths, but, like his devotion, it is unmoving.

FDIC Consumer News
Fall 2008 – Special Edition: Your New, Higher FDIC Insurance Coverage
FDIC Insurance Coverage Temporarily Increased to At Least $250,000
Per Depositor
With banks and the economy in the news so much lately, many people are thinking more about the safety of their money. The FDIC has some good news – your FDIC deposit insurance coverage has significantly increased.
"Clearly, the good news for consumers, small businesses and other depositors is the increased likelihood that they can have more of their deposits – or possibly all of their deposits – fully insured at their bank," said Kathleen Nagle, FDIC Associate Director for Consumer Protection.
Here is an overview of what you need to know about your new FDIC insurance coverage.
The basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage has been temporarily increased from at least $100,000 to at least $250,000 per depositor. That's the result of a new law passed by Congress in October 2008. It means that if you (or your family) have $250,000 or less in all of your deposit accounts at the same insured bank, you don't need to worry about your insurance coverage – your deposits are fully insured.
As always, you may qualify for more than the basic insurance coverage at one insured bank. Thats because the FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for deposits held in different "ownership categories." For example, under current rules, your deposits in:
The basic FDIC insurance limit is scheduled to return to $100,000 on January 1, 2010. Let's suppose you purchase two CDs (certificates of deposit) that will mature in 2010 or later, and they total $105,000. Under current law, those CDs would be fully insured through year-end 2009. But starting on January 1, 2010 – when insurance coverage is scheduled to return to $100,000 – $5,000 plus accrued interest would be uninsured.
However, not all deposit accounts would revert back to $100,000 of insurance coverage in 2010. Certain retirement accounts will continue to be protected up to $250,000 because that is the permanent level previously set by Congress.
The FDIC has eased the rule governing the insurance coverage of revocable trust accounts. The most common example of a revocable trust account is a payable-on-death (POD) account that can be set up at a bank with a simple, written declaration from the depositor (usually on the "signature card" in the bank's records) that the funds in a savings or checking account will belong to one or more named beneficiaries upon this person's death.
Another common example of a revocable trust account is a "living trust" account deposited in connection with a formal, legal document typically called a living trust or a family trust drafted by an attorney.
What's new is that the FDIC no longer considers only the account owner's spouse, child, grandchild, parent or sibling as "qualifying beneficiaries" for additional insurance coverage. Under the new rule, effective September 26, 2008, an account owner can name almost any beneficiary – including a niece, nephew, cousin, in-law, friend, charity or a nonprofit organization – and the owner will qualify for deposit insurance coverage for each beneficiary($250,000 if there is one beneficiary, $500,000 if there are two, and so on).
"The new rule is, in part, intended to be fair to depositors who were unable to obtain insurance coverage under the previous rules because they had no qualifying beneficiaries," explained FDIC attorney Joe DiNuzzo.
Be aware that revocable trust accounts are subject to specific requirements that can affect the total insurance coverage, especially if an account owner names six or more beneficiaries and they all arent being given an equal share of the account.
In addition, FDIC officials cautioned bank customers against adding beneficiaries to a trust account just to increase their insurance coverage.
"A trust account is the equivalent of a contract specifying who is legally entitled to your money when you die," said Martin Becker, a Senior Consumer Affairs Specialist at the FDIC. "That's why naming beneficiaries shouldnt be simply an attempt to get the maximum FDIC insurance coverage – its a serious decision about who will inherit your money."
Through year-end 2009, certain checking accounts at participating institutions will be fully insured by the FDIC, no matter how much money is in them. This special coverage applies only to no-interest checking accounts and certain other low-interest transaction accounts. While the rule is primarily for businesses with large balances in their checking accounts, consumers also can benefit.
For example, let's say you and your spouse sell your home in early 2009 and you'll be using the proceeds – $800,000 – to buy another house a week later. If you deposit $800,000 jointly into an eligible checking account at a participating bank – and the bank fails – all the money would be fully protected by FDIC insurance. Otherwise, if the money is not in an eligible checking account at a participating institution, it would only be covered to $500,000 (assuming you have no other joint accounts at the same bank), leaving $300,000 at risk of loss if the bank fails and the funds are still in the account.
For more information about the rule changes, visit www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/changes.html. And if you have questions or concerns about your deposit insurance coverage in general, you can always go to our Web site or call the FDIC; learn how to contact us on For More Help from the FDIC About Deposit Insurance and Other Topics.

Just curious if anyone alse was/is concernerd with the amount of carbs allowable on this diet? Just seems like Oatmeal for breakfast, Whole wheat bread for lunch, apples etc one would gain weight
Welcome to BFL! I am starting week 5. What was toughest for me was the portions. A fist size of carbohydrates always with a palm size of protein at every meal. I was turned onto a website that allows me to track my proteins and carbs to ensure you are staying on target with the 40% of calories from carbs, 40% of calories from protein, and 20% of calories from fat. It is www.myfitnesspal.com Just have to train yourself to concentrate on that and not the calories (that site counts calories as well) and set your macros to follow the BFL plan. Certainly you can track on the BFL forms, but I needed better control on the percentages. Good Luck!
I am a little. I actually gained a lb this week. Not sure what that is about but I do notice I eat more carbs now then before.. Ultimately you got to have faith in the program and stick with it. I'm wondering if maybe I'm not eating the correct amount and that was the reason for me gain.
I gained weight in my first 3 weeks of my first Challenge, then after Week 4 I lost it plus several more over the rest of the Challenge. I chalked it up to gaining muscle mass quicker than my body was burning fat. In the end, I lost 13lbs of body fat and 10lbs of scale weight. Your body will definitely need that carb intake consistently with the B4L Cardio, and the weight training too. Protein feeds your muscles and the carbs feed the rest of you.
Most calorie count sites say ~200g carbs and 50g protein is a "balanced" diet. If you have only a first-sized serving of carbs you'll be cutting that intake down to more like 150g per day, and optimally eating 150g of protein as well. The system does work, pretty well.
A couple things you could do if you don't feel comfortable with the carb intake:
1. Cut out "white", wheat-based and starchy carbs like regular potatoes, rice, and breads. Replace them with legumes, quinoa, sweet potatoes, and other whole grains like barley.
2. On weight days eat a smaller amount of carbs and increase your protein intake.
3. Avoid higher glycemic fruits like bananas, mango, kiwi, etc and eat fruits like grapes and berries instead.
These things might help. I actually did these things in the last 4 weeks of my Challenge and I felt awesome at the end. So, maybe worth a shot?
Carbs are your friend, if they are the right kinds of carbs. Your body can't workout and reach 10's during your workouts, without fueling it with readily available energy. I know it is a hard mindset since everyone tries to scare us away from eating carbs. Oatmeal, brown rice & pasta, sweet potatoes, etc...are digested so much differently than processed, packaged crap. Eat your carbs!!
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
I too am concerned about the carbs.
I just completed my first week of BFL, but I modified the diet as I am mainly trying to loose weight and tone so the weight loss doesn't leave probelms.
This is what I've done for the past two weeks of dieting:
Breakfast = 1/2 apple for one hour after workouts as suggested in the BFL book for maximum weight loss)
Morning snack = 1 baby carrot stick or a couple of celery sticks
Lunch = Garden salad with 1/2 can tuna or half a chicken breast, broccoli, four grape tomatoes, plus low carb, low fat, low cal Italian dressing
Afternoon snack = 1 baby carrot stick or a couple of celery sticks
Dinner = Either a salad as above, or some type of chicken dish w/veggies and a small salad
I know it's a little different then what the BFL program is suggesting. Once they arrive, I am planning to add in a EAS Myoplex Carb Control Chocolate Fudge shake after every weight training (an hour after) and I also picked up some high protein, low cal/low carb Atkins Advantage bars that can substitute a meal here and there as needed. I am trying to loose a min. of 80lbs. I started dieting about three months ago, and went from 312lbs (embarrassing) to 280 which is where I started at w/BFL. In my first week of BFL I went from 280 to 272!!! I'm very excited about that, and it would appear that my dieting approach is working, but of course may need to be modified as needed going forward.
I did enjoy a very nice egg white omelet for breakfast this morning....love the free day, but I'm still sticking with healthy foods, proper portions and such as I don't want to chance undoing the previous hard work :)
Here's the recipe for the breakfast omelet I had and it was delicious:
1/2 cup egg whites
2 Jennie-O Lean Turkey Sausage sliced (90 cals for two)
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/4 sliced green bell pepper
1/4 cup reduced fat Colby & Monterrey Jack Cheese
1 tsp olive oil for cooking
Pepper flakes for some heat :)
Cals = 360 (120 are from the Olive oil, so not sure if they count as most probably burned off in the cooking?)
Fat = 24.63
Carbs = 4.78
Protein = 29.21
Sugars = 1.98
I would definitely love to hear any comments on my approach?
OMG Cal1 - reading your food intake makes me starving!!! You need to eat - carrots and celery are not enough food for you! You need nourishment to "fuel" your body so it can run properly, your metabolism keeps revved up and so you can workout. You have to be starving by mid day or at least evening???
I can understand the frustration when you want to lose weight now, but anything that is quick results will pop back on. You need to do this slowly.
I am 5'3" and was 160lbs after my baby was born, and I started cutting calories and running to lose weight. It was a struggle all the time to lose weight and to maintain once I lost a little, but I was skinny fat. Only once I started eating more frequently and eating carbs to stave off any cravings did I start to lean out. I have gone down 4 sizes doing this, so please, if you are going to do the BFL, do it 100% which includes eating nutritious food!!
Surprisingly I am not starting or craving food. I'd like to keep at this for a couple more weeks, and monitor my progress along the way, making adjustments as needed. I'll add in EAS Myoplex Carb Control Chocolate Fudge shakes for breakfast on weight training days for instance starting with the Wednesday weight training routine.
Wow Cal1, I'm surprised at your food intake too. You need more protein! Each meal, every day no matter what your workout is, should contain one serving of protein along with one serving of complex carbs. You should also add vegetables to at least two of your meals, if not more.
We just don't want you to be starving yourself. Half an apple for breakfast and one baby carrot for your mid-morning snack is just not going to cut it. You aren't properly feeding your muscles after the hard work they're doing. They aren't getting the right fuel to grow.
It sounds like you'll be getting more protein in soon, so that's good! But I would recommend having a shake (or preferably a real, whole source of protein) for each of your six meals. :) That way the weight you lose is more likely to stay off long term.
Good luck! You are already do so well on your challenge by adding in more exercise and not eating junk. :)
Protein and Carb at each of your 6 meals + proper portions = healthy lifestyle.
I like the idea of Cal1s portions here. I had bariatric surgery and hit a wall hormonally. Instead of going for the hormone replacements, I'm gonna do BFL. I was worried about the portions but with added shakes, I hope I'll be fine. I start on Monday and just finished my shopping. Only carbs I picked up we fruit, Greek yogurt and whole wheat bread. I'll modify out I can but I'm still a little, well a lot, worried about the intake and feeding many body properly. And advice would be excellent. Btw, I started at 356 and have gotten down to 270. My goal is 190 though my doctor want a "healthy" 135 (whaaat?).
I once had faith in the surgery, I now have faith in me.
I am in the 8th week of my challenge and I have been eating the recommended amount of carbs since the begining. I have been losing about 3 pounds a week since the begining of the challenge. Carbs are not a bad thing if you eat the proper type of carb. You really need the carbs to ensure you have the energy required to do the workouts.
I'm okay with adding the carbs. But, protein is more important post bariatric surgery. I am still greatly concerned about getting the right mix to eat to get the body I want and not lose my hair because of protein deficiency. But I'm moving forward and will adjust accordingly. Week one, day one. . . Only 3 days away!!
cal1 - I was actually surprised you signed your post as Brian, with that mindset and meal plan, I expected it to be a woman. That's not a slam, just that I don't think I've ever seen a man eat that few. How you have any energy baffles me.
I'll tell you this, you need A LOT more protein. I don't know if you read the book, or if you just found this website, either way it doesn't matter, but you need a protein source every meal and carb for that matter. Only time you should ever drop carbs is your last week or two if you're really prepping for that photo shoot.
I noticed you eat 1/2 apple after a workout. You know your body needs amino acids right? How you gonna recover on 50 cals of fructose? Instead, eat the entire apple and have 6 egg whites with it, that would be much better. Or make it REAL simple...slam a myoplex.
I don't know how much you want to lose, but you gotta eat protein to build muscle or heck just to keep it!!
If you doubt how BFL laid out works, there are thousands of people who are living testimonies that it works. Yeah, I'm one of em. 130 lbs in 18 months. What you are doing is not sustainable either.
Love your response and your quote BDmom!

Keep up the good work.
-E. Claycomb
Having only been here in Plant City for 9 ½ years, I am very proud to say I am from Plant City and we have the best strawberries in the U.S. People do not believe your strawberry shortcake, how big it is, but I haul out my photo album and it never fails to amaze them.
-E. Bitz
To all the swell folks at Parkesdale. New to Florida from New York we decided to make this state our new home. We found your market after visiting Plant City and have been coming ever since. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I get there. The vegetables and fruits are great. The friendly workers make it a joy to shop there. Good luck and God Bless all.

My stepchildren and my fellow workers thank you profusely for the avalanche of strawberry cookies, as do I. That was very sweet of you. And delicious too. I'll be there sometime this spring for shortcake. Have a great festival and thanks again.

What a surprise—St. Patrick's Day and I get a treat of the fabulous "Parkesdale Strawberry Shortcake" as well as my wife and two friends from Evansville Indiana who are visiting. Of course I had some explaining to do when we found a table where we could consume our shortcake. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would get treated to "Free" shortcake just by reminding you of your comment that day my fide asked you if you dreamed of strawberries at night. Thank you so much, you certainly know how to make and old man happy. We really enjoyed your generosity. It will be remembered each St. Patrick's Day.

With the ban on women in combat lifted does that mean draft for women?Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Young women, soon, Uncle Sam could want you, too. Now that the ban on women in combat has been lifted, experts say it opens the door to require young women to register for the draft.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Young women, soon, Uncle Sam could want you, too. Now that the ban on women in combat has been lifted, experts say it opens the door to require young women to register for the draft.
They know its coming....
For young men, Uncle Sam comes knocking at age 18. But the Obama administration's recent decision to lift the ban on women in combat could extend that responsibility to young women, as well.
Margaret: "I'm all for equality. I think women are just as strong as men and have the same capabilities."
Margaret Boehmlehner says, 'that's great.'
She served on Army active duty for 2 years at Fort Bragg, and believes everything -including physical standards between men and women - should be equal in the military.
Margaret: "If women are going to go into combat, like men, then they need to have equal standards. Just because you're a woman doesn't mean you're any less of a man. There's women out there that can lift more than men."
Right now, neither the administration nor Congress is in any hurry to make women register. But experts say now that women can fight in combat, there are no legal grounds to exempt them from the draft.
Catheryn: "I think it's scary. I respect men for having to do that, but I myself don't want to have to register for the draft."
Catheryn Barth is a freshman at NDSU - right at that registering age of 18.
While she's not thrilled at the idea, she says equal is equal.
Catheryn: "Women are receiving that right, so it's only fair that it is open to them."
Any young women, or men, worried about a draft notice coming their way in the near future, can take a deep breath, there is no looming crisis that would make a draft necessary.

Ritalin FAQ
In This Section:
- Can you take Ritalin if you are currently taking Zoloft?
- Can I take Ritalin if I'm 6 months pregnant and have been taking them the whole time so far?
- Would some form of Ritalin be useful for me? I have a hard time concentrating and always have 3 or 4 projects on the go that seem to never get done. I'm also on Celexa 40 mg and Seroquel 100 mg for a severe mood disorder.
- Is there a second-generation version of Ritalin with fewer side effects and longer duration of action? What is it called?
- Do you know who the manufacturer of Ritalin is? Have any children have acquired tics or tremors from taking it?
Can you take Ritalin if you are currently taking Zoloft?A: Studies have indicated that Ritalin (methylphenidate) may interact with Zoloft (sertraline) causing an increased risk for dangerous side effects. You may want to contact your health care provider to discuss other possible treatment options. For additional information regarding Ritalin (methylphenidate) or Zoloft (sertraline), see: http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/ritalin http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/zoloft Back to Top
Can I take Ritalin if I'm 6 months pregnant and have been taking them the whole time so far?A: Ritalin (methylphenidate) is classified as Pregnancy Category C according to studies. According to the FDA, Category C means that studies in animals shows adverse effects on the fetus and there are no studies in women or studies in women and animals are not available. FDA suggest that it should be given only if the benefit justifies the risk to the fetus. Please consult with your PCP or OB-GYN immediately to make a decision regarding taking Ritalin. It is very important for the health of the baby to consult with a physician to let them know all medications the mother is taking. Back to Top
Would some form of Ritalin be useful for me? I have a hard time concentrating and always have 3 or 4 projects on the go that seem to never get done. I'm also on Celexa 40 mg and Seroquel 100 mg for a severe mood disorder.A: Only your doctor would be able to determine if you are in need of Ritalin or another product like it. Since you stated that you have difficulty concentrating, then it would be a good reason to talk to your doctor about trying a medication to help this condition. If Ritalin is the medication that you would like to try, it doesn't pose any severe interactions with your Celexa or Seroquel. Caution is advised with the Celexa and Ritalin, but can still be used as long as the doctor is monitoring your conditions. Megan Uehara, PharmD Back to Top
Is there a second-generation version of Ritalin with fewer side effects and longer duration of action? What is it called?A: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can occur in both children and adults. Stimulant medications are usually used to treat ADHD, some examples are: -Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Metadate, Concerta, Daytrana) -Amphetamine (Adderall) -Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine, Dextrostat). In 2002, the FDA has approved Strattera (atomoxetine), a nonstimulant medication for the treatment of ADHD. In February 2007, the FDA has approved Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) another stimulant for the treatment of ADHD in children ages 6 to 12 years. Just this month, the FDA has approved another medication called Kapvay (clonidine HCl extended-release tablets) for the treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents ages 6 to 17 years old. Kapvay is to be used as a single-drug therapy or for use as add-on therapy to other stimulant medication. Kapvay is a non-stimulant drug. Studies suggest that Kapvay may help regulate attention and plays a critical role in impulse control, working memory and executive function. When stimulant medications are prescribed by a doctor and are given under supervision, these drugs would be safe to take. Stimulant medications should be taken as directed. Some parents believe that stimulant medications may lead to drug abuse or dependence, but there is not enough evidence to prove this. Studies show that children or adolescents with ADHD who took stimulant medications were less likely to abuse drugs than those who did not take stimulant medications. Talk to your parents and have them contact your healthcare provider about treatment options. Have a discussion with your doctor and talk to them regarding all other prescription or over-the-counter medications you may be taking that may cause any side effects or drug interactions. Anissa Lee, RPh Back to Top
Do you know who the manufacturer of Ritalin is? Have any children have acquired tics or tremors from taking it?A: Brand name Ritalin (methylphenidate) is manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. Ritalin is a stimulant medication that affects the central nervous system. It is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attention deficit disorder (ADD), and narcolepsy. Ritalin helps to increase attention and control symptoms such as hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Common side effects of Ritalin include dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, stomach pain, nervousness, irritability, and trouble sleeping. According to available drug information, tics can occur in up to eight percent of children taking stimulant medications, including Ritalin. This would be considered a frequent side effect. These tics occurred in children who did not have them before starting treatment. At least one study found that tics tended to occur more in younger children. If a child develops tics while being treated with stimulant therapy, it is recommended to stop therapy. Contact your doctor right away for proper evaluation and to determine which treatment options best meets the child's needs. This is not a complete list of side effects that can occur with Ritalin. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or local pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.

After many months of investigating the actions of the Rupert Murdoch empire, Britain's Parliament has released a statement. It involved Members of Parliament from the Conservatives, the Liberals, and the middle of the road doing the questioning and writing the report. While the Conservatives were uncomfortable with some aspects of the report, they all were a part of the honest investigation. Here is some of what the report said:
"On the basis of the facts and evidence before the committee, we conclude that, if at all relevant times Rupert Murdoch did not take steps to become fully informed about phone hacking, he turned a blind eye and exhibited willful blindness to what was going on in his companies and publications."
From Milw. Journal Sentinel, 5-2-12, p. 11A: "The four Democrats will be easily be outspent by Walker, whose $25.3 million raised was more than 12 times the $2 million raised by all four challengers combined. In the most recent reporting period, Walker received two-thirds of his money from out of state." "Of the nearly $11 million Walker spent over three months, $4.6 million of it...went toward malings. Much of that money went to SCM Associates of North Carolina, a direct mail firm that lists Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as a client." Adding to the multitude of Scott Walker's lies and distortions are the "facts" and "figures" he presents about Tom Barrett's job as Mayor of Milwaukee. Trying to run away from his miserable job as Governor, and failing to live up to his promise to bring 250,000 jobs to the state, Walker mentions all the jobs lost in Milwaukee in Barrett's past year. Well, Scott, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Wednesday:
"First, the local March job losses cited by the Walker campaign were for the four-county (Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washingtongon, Ozaukee), not the City of Milwaukee."

I voted today. The entire voting environment has become so polluted and greed-filled that there is an emptiness in voting. There isn't much to choose today that is not influenced and tinged with greed capitalism, oligarchical purchase, war corporations, etc. Our democracy, such as it was, is slipping away fast. Money rules. Greed has purchased our culture, way of life, democratic process, etc.
It is interesting to listen to the right-wing comments about how terrible it is that President Obama is making such a big thing out of the capturing and killing of Osama bin Laden under Obama's watch. Please think for one moment. If that mission to get bin Laden had failed, what do you think the right-wing would be doing about it during this election year? The anti-intellectual tea party would be using that to tell us how incompetent Obama is. Look, our President took a big risk in supporting that mission in Pakistan to get bin Laden. The fact that it turned out as it did gives Obama the right to use it in his election campaigning. The right-wing and greed puppets would be using it against Obama if he failed.
An Ounce of Prevention for Crabapples and Pines
Fungal diseases of trees can be sneaky. Infection of leaves or needles takes place in the spring and early summer as new growth emerges and expands. This new growth is softer, more delicate, and more susceptible to infections.
Symptoms of infection may not be obvious until later in the growing season. An example is crabapple leaves that are turning olive brown and falling prematurely. Another example is pine needles that have failed to reach full size and begin to brown in their first season, leaving dead tips. The culprits in these cases are often apple scab on the crabapples or sphaeropsis/diplodia shoot blight on the pines.
Don't let them deny it! Women are being attacked and challenged anew by the right-wing in America. A Republican leader in the Wisconsin legislature announced "proudly" that it was only right that men were paid more than women because men needed more money than women. Shades of the 19th century! And the right-wing who constantly criticizes government and wants less of it, nevertheless wants legislation that has the government snooping in the physician's exam rooms to be sure women behave puritanically in their lives. Shades of the 18th century! With Mother's Day approaching, I thought it was a good time to post some thoughts that relate to woman....[stay to the end, not the usual words]

Thank you for reading my blog. I respect you. I appreciate you. I do not take you for granted.
I would like to share something with you that is very dear to my heart. It is a quote from Pablo Neruda, the wonderful poet from Chile. But this is not a poem, it is his speculation on the origin of his poetry. But for you and me it is so much more. It is loaded with reflections on life and what is important. I share it with you. I try to use it to guide my life...
Where Do We Find Our Employees?
We love our employees too!
After we are finished working on a property we often get asked "Where do you get your staff from" or "where did you learn all that tree stuff", and we also have a few parents ask "are you hiring? My son or daughter needs a job!"
TIRED OF SELF-RIGHTeous judgmentalism
Don't you wish the strutting fundamentalists would actually read the Bible? All the posing, all the attention-getting, all the judgments, all the ignorance gets to be very-very tiresome.
Wouldn't it be nice if the immigration bigots would read the story of the Good Samaratan and see how this man from outside the realm, outside the citizenship of the "normal" people conducted himself and set an example for others. Oh, that we could have such understanding for those outside our "normalcy." What is truly odd is that those who judge immigrants are the descendants of immigrants themselves. Of course the judgmentalists love to throw around self-righteous words like "legal" when someone arrives from outside their physical and mental "gated city."

Tree Doctors Still Make House Calls

You may have some idea regarding how your doctor assesses your health, but what does a Certified Arborist look at when determining your tree's health or condition?
Along with a terribly functioning health care system that needs major reform, our criminal justice system also is badly in need of an overhaul. A recent study indicates how many people are falsely charged and imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. And yet there are many who would extend the death penalty in the U.S. to states that have been enlightened enough to not commit murder in the name of the government.
The statistics below are just the tip of the ice berg related to false accusations, false imprisonments, false evidence [often by the police themselves], and wrongful "legal" executions. Besides those who spend time in prison or are executed incorrectly, there are myriad other reasons our criminal justice system needs to be changed dramatically. More on that in another blog posting. But here is an Associated Press report:
Memorial Day Scams Target Military, Families & Supporters
Memorial Day is a time to honor those who serve and remember those who have died in war. But sadly, it has also become a key opportunity for scammers to target those who are serving or have served their nation, especially elderly veterans. BBB is urging consumers and donors to be on the lookout for deals that seem too good to be true, and for disreputable charities.
The unique lifestyle of our service members makes them prime targets for scammers. It's imperative that we educate our service members and ensure that the support we give to them equals the effort they make every day on behalf of us. Scams can include those that target service personnel and their families directly, but also those that appear to be helping military members via charities.
As you wring your hands about the state of politics in America, many things are evolving that indicate it may get worse before it gets better ...if it ever does. We are losing the United States of America, and we have no clue how bad and how deep things are in this regard. Not only are we losing our democracy to greed, we are losing the very essence of our culture in the process. And our brains are blank about it all.
It is difficult to express this dilemma in the few words of a blog, but I shall give it a try here. The following is but a small example of the magnitude of the problem.
"Life Below Ground"
When thinking about trees and tree health, we should be more aware of what is below ground. Healthy root systems are vital to the health and longevity of trees. A vigorous expanding root system is supported by healthy soils. Often times when the trees crown appears stressed - thin canopy, small or chlorotic leaves, branch dieback - it is the root system and corresponding soils that are the real issue.
Roots obtain water, and essential elements from the soil. Abundant oxygen in the soil is critical for respiration. A good root system anchors the tree in place. Roots also store carbohydrates for growth and tree defense.
From the wide variety of sources we still call "news":
Was Archbishop Timothy Dolan elevated to Cardinal because his intra-archdiocese budget manipulations saved the Roman Catholic Church tens of millions of dollars by re-assigning line items in the budget of the archdiocese, thus not included in the bankruptcy filings?

The order process was great, it was delivered exactlly when the confirmation email said it would be and I absolutley love it! Thank you :-) Amy Raub
Absolutely Beautiful!
