Santa Sleigh with Reindeer
Personalized Christmas Ornament$10.95
Here comes Santa Claus! This Santa ornament is a whimsical depiction of Santa with his team of reindeer on Christmas Eve, making his way around the world to deliver presents to good little girls and boys. The starry night is on a purple ball with snowflakes swirling in the air. Jolly old St. Nick is waving from the front of his sleigh, holding a star in his hand, his red sleigh packed to the brim with a green sack of presents. His team of reindeer has Rudolph in the lead with his bright, twinkling red nose amonst the other blinking stars. This ornament lights up with six blinking lights that make this shatterproof ornament one that your child will love.

June 6, 2007 - 63 years
ago today Joe Taylor's father stormed the beaches
of Normandy in the D-Day landings. A month later,
he found out his English girlfriend was pregnant but was refused "Permission
to Marry" by his Commanding Officer. Joe Sr. continued to fight through France,
Holland, Belgium and Germany. In February 1945 he was finally given leave to England
where he married the mother of his then five month old son Joe Jr. Because
Joe Jr. was "born out of wedlock" before January 1, 1947, he can't be
a Canadian citizen according to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Diane
Finley. Tell her you think that is WRONG and a violation of the Charter
of Rights.

Ottawa on War Bride citizenship. Click here

legal experts, giving evidence. Tune in on ParlVu (audio only) at 11:00 EDT. Continued
discussion about Joe Taylor in the House of Commons in debates
about Bill C-57, an amendment to the Citizenship Act to deal with strippers. The
only people being "stripped" of their citizenship are War Bride children
who were born out of wedlock before their parents married and Mennonites.
29, 2007 - Sorry Minister, but it's not good enough. Victory
for Lost Canadians - and we are appreciative of that - but why
leave Joe Taylor and the Mennonites behind? Minister Diane Finley announces proposed
amendments to the Citizenship Act that will cover "most" of the Lost
Canadian / War Bride issues except for Joe Taylor, and Mennonites because of the
marital status provision of the 1947 Citizenship Act. We
call that discrimination based on marital status, which is a contravention of
the Charter of Rights and something which Canadians are not willing to put up
with in the 21st century. Send an email
to the Minister Diane Finley and tell her to give Joe Taylor and other "born
out of wedlocks" like the Mennonites their citizenship!

Are War Brides and the children they brought with them to Canada on the War Bride

Act was Charter compliant! According to PC 7318 (page

2) they are citizens. So why in heaven's name is the Harper government challenging

Great for pots. The cold-sensitivity of Caladiums is why they've become big favorites for pots, baskets, and patio planters. If you start them indoors, you can simply put the pots outside once your weather is warm. And in fall, the pots make everything simple. Once your first cold snap wilts the leaves in fall, simply bring you pots inside, let the tops die down, and keep them as they are (in a non-freezing area) until spring, and put them out again. This is how many northern gardeners grow these beauties.
Spectacular Ground Cover: Many gardeners use these colorful plants as a ground cover for shady areas. (Who says you can't have great color in the shade!) Caladiums around trees or in other shady areas have long been beautiful features of southern gardens, but this technique can work anywhere, as long as you don't put out your plants until your soil is good and warm.
Starting your tubers: Plant your tubers with the 'eyes' upward--one tuber to a 4" pot, and 3 tubers in a gallon-size. Use about 1 1/2" of soil over the tubers. Keep them evenly moist and very warm after planting. (Like amaryllis in fall, bottom heat helps sprout these tropical tubers...if you have a warm radiator, try putting your pots there until they're well-sprouted.) Once they're up, liquid fertilizer helps; they respond much like African violets and tuberous begonias to regular feedings.

Comments about American Meadows Caladium Bulbs Candidum:
I have three colors of caladium, each one in its own pot. I use them as an acccent at the edge of my pergola. These bulbs were ready to grow with the eyes sprouting upon arrival, so I didn't have to wait long until I had a beautiful plant. The color is vibrant (just as in the photo)and the plants are doing well in the heat of the summer.

How It Works
Pemetrexed interferes with the cancer cell's ability to reproduce. Pemetrexed is an intravenous (IV) medicine that is usually given in a dose based on body surface area. The type and extent of a cancer determines the exact dose and schedule of administering this drug.
Why It Is Used
Pemetrexed slows or stops the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. It is used to treat cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer.
How Well It Works
Pemetrexed is an effective antitumor medicine. But the type and extent of a cancer determines how effectively this medicine slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Signs of infection such as a fever or chills.
- Severe nausea and vomiting.
- Severe diarrhea.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- A lack of energy (fatigue) caused by anemia.
- Numbness and tingling in the hands or feet (peripheral neuropathy).
- Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
- Diarrhea or constipation.
- Rash.
- Mouth sores (stomatitis).
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Pemetrexed should be administered only under the supervision of a medical oncologist. He or she will regularly monitor your blood cell counts and your kidney and liver functions.
You may not be able to become pregnant or father a child after taking this medicine. Talk with your doctor about fertility before starting treatment.
Your doctor can prescribe medicines to help you manage any nausea or vomiting caused by chemotherapy.
People who use pemetrexed will need to take vitamin B12, folate, and corticosteroids to decrease the risk of side effects from this medicine.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) , such as aspirin or ibuprofen, are often stopped for 2 days before and during treatment with pemetrexed, to avoid kidney problems.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
Complete the new medication information form (PDF)(What is a PDF document?) to help you understand this medication.

Hi Ari.
Could you tell us what is your stance on the use of animal furs for clothes?
I thought that it was well and truly boycotted by the thinking person but I see some women you have featured still insist on wearing it.
I live in a hot humid area of Australia so never see it here.
When I am in the southern capitals of Sydney and Melbourne, fur wearing is as scarce as hen's teeth.
If some one were to wear fur, there would comments to them and the question asked' " Why?'

I've been looking for you! Well, actually I've been looking for a role model for style. I am approaching 60 and realized I am tired of never attempting a little glamour and personal style of my own. A few weeks ago for the first time I wore red lipstick and loved it. I'm hoping to wear more silk especially in pants. I'm more of a less is more person but really am working toward the exact right more in my less. Thank you for being you!

Hi from Atlanta, GA!!!!
Hi all - I just wanted to stop in and introduce myself!
I'm Ryan, I live downtown Atlanta right near Turner Field. I'm 28, I'm a pilot (although I'm currently laid off and doing other work now), and I just got my second Golden this week.
Jake was my first Golden. We (Mom, Dad and I) got him in 1997 when he was a year old. Since I was the only child, he was pretty much like my brother. He was treated as a human member of our family, and will be remembered as such. He had cancer in his lymph nodes when he was 7 or 8. He went to the University of Georgia and got treatment and was just fine after that. Later on in life, we started seeing his hip dysplasia kick in, maybe when he was around 12. He would get his front legs up off the hardwood floors, but his hind legs kept sliding out from under him and he would usually give up. It was heartbreaking. Finally the day came when I felt the tumors coming back in his throat and I knew I had to make that phone call that I'd been dreading for years. So that's the quick version of Jake's life which peacefully ended on 5/5/2009.
Fast forward to this week - Monday November 26th, I picked up Max who is a purebred Golden that was at a local Atlanta rescue. He and his brother came from a family that would keep them in the basement and let them go in and outside as they please. Finally this couple had a kid (I think that's what finally prompted them to make the right call) and realized they couldn't give the brothers the attention they needed. They were never allowed upstairs anyways... which I find very odd.
Anyways, his brother was adopted the weekend before Thanksgiving, and I saw Max on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. He was the first dog I went to meet after joining two local rescues. I thought it may take a while to find the right match for me - but as soon as I saw him I knew it. He's perfect.
Because he was never allowed in the house, there are many things that are new for him. He isn't sure of a lot of things, especially objects that are freestanding, such as my 5 gallon water dispenser.... and especially my Dyson vacuum. He's not amused by that at all. He's terrified of it, and I haven't even turned it on yet!! hah! I'm working with him very slowly, showing him what things do. It's all new for him.
He's so well behaved, he's a very sweet, kind and gentle Golden. I've never heard him bark (and my Jake only barked TWICE in his entire life... Twice! I thought he couldn't bark!). He's got a very inquisitive personality. He likes to explore and check things out. It's adorable. I mean he even watches TV with me, and I mean literally watching the television!
Anyways, that's just a little bit about myself, my old 4 legged brother Jake and Max, my new special companion. I've already read a lot of great info on here, and I look forward to participating in the future!!!
-Ryan and Max

Welcome Ryan, congratulations on Max, he's absolutely gorgeous, great pictures.
Did you get Max through AGA or the GR Rescue of Atlanta? Both are great groups- I use to help with a GR Rescue in my state and worked with the Intake Coordinator from AGA some. My group closed down almost 2 years ago unfortunately, really miss being involved with a group.
So sorry for your loss of Jake. My first Golden I got for my son so he would have a dog to grow up with, very similiar situation as yours , as he is an only child too. Taz lived to be 15.5, he passed in Feb. 2011. My son is a little younger than you, he lives in the Franklin Park area. He travels for his job and is rarely in Atlanta though.
I have tow Goldens, my girl was adopted from CFGRR, that's the group I use to help. She will be 8 next month and I have a 3 yr. old boy that I found at my County Humane Society-I am the lucky one.
Enjoy your new boy, hope to see more pictures of Max in the future.

What Would You Do With a Billion Dollar Bank Error?
It's a cliche that dates back to Monopoly: A bank error in your favor. But for Parijat Saha, an Indian schoolteacher, the Community Chest card came to life in a big way when he discovered that his bank account suddenly held $9.8 billion.

Exercise: Measuring Your Pace
Getting your heart to work at the right pace means you'll develop better aerobic endurance. This happens because your heart gets stronger and more efficient from the challenge. A stronger heart can pump more oxygen to your muscles. Then you don't tire as quickly during your hobbies, sports, or daily activities.
How does it feel?
Listening to your body is the best way to decide if an exercise pace is right for you. If you do too much, you'll tire too quickly or get hurt. If you do too little, you won't get the health rewards you want.
Note: During or after exercise, you should not feel sick, dizzy, or very tired. After you're done, you should feel normal in about 10 minutes. If you're very tired or very sore the next day, you may have exercised too hard.
Your target heart rate
When you exercise, you should keep your heart rate within a safe range. This is called your target heart rate range. Your heart rate is measured by taking your pulse. (If you don't know how to take your pulse, ask your health care provider to show you how.) Take your pulse regularly as you exercise to be sure you're within your target heart rate range. When you exercise at the right heart rate, you burn calories and strengthen your heart safely.
Finding your target heart rate
Your target heart rate is based on your age and health. So first ask your health care provider how much exercise is safe for you. If you're healthy, you can use the chart at right to find your target heart rate range. If your heart rate goes too high, slow down until you're back in your range.

Osteoarthritis: Exercising With Arthritis
- Exercise may make you feel better, reduce your joint pain, and make it easier for you to do your daily tasks.
- A common symptom of osteoarthritis is pain after activity, which may make you not want to exercise. But you can use heat and cold therapy or take pain medicines to help relieve pain and make it easier for you to exercise and stay active.
- Exercise should be balanced with rest and joint care. If your joints hurt or you have redness or swelling, rest your joints, then try a little exercise. You might also think about using assistive devices, such as splints or braces, for a short time to protect your joints.
- Sharp or unusual pain may be a sign of injury. Talk to your doctor if you have new pain or if your pain is a lot worse.
- Always check with your doctor before you start an exercise program.
Exercises that will help you if you have osteoarthritis include:
- Aerobic activity that gets your heart beating faster and makes you breathe harder, such as walking, biking, swimming, and water aerobics. You can also get some aerobic activity by being more active in your daily routine. Vacuuming, housework, gardening, and yard work can all be aerobic.
- Strength exercises, such as lifting light weights or dumbbells or using elastic tubing, at home or in a gym.
- Range-of-motion exercises that help keep you flexible, such as stretching or exercises that target a certain joint.
Exercises to avoid
Don't do exercises that put a lot of stress on the joint that hurts. For example, if you have arthritis in your hands, try not to do exercises or sports that need a tight grip, such as biking. If you have arthritis in your knees, try not to do exercises that put stress on your knees, such as playing tennis.
Be careful not to exercise too much. Joint pain that lasts longer than a couple of hours after exercise may be a sign that you did too much.
Test Your Knowledge
A person with arthritis should try an exercise program that includes aerobic, strength, and range-of-motion exercises.
This answer is correct.
An exercise program that includes aerobic, strength, and range-of-motion exercises may reduce joint pain and improve movement and function in a person who has arthritis.
This answer is incorrect.
An exercise program that includes aerobic, strength, and range-of-motion exercises may reduce joint pain and improve movement and function in a person who has arthritis.
Exercise can help keep your joints and muscles from getting stiff and weak. And it will help you feel better and help you stay at a healthy weight. Weak muscles and extra weight can put added stress on your joints and can cause your arthritis to get worse faster.
Exercising won't "wear out" a damaged joint. But if your joint is very loose or doesn't line up the way it's supposed to, some kinds of exercise may not work well or may even make your arthritis worse. Your doctor or physical therapist can help you find an exercise that is best for you.
Exercises that stretch the muscles can help prevent stiffness and injury. Exercises that strengthen the muscles and ligaments around a joint can help protect and reduce stress on the joint. For example, stronger thigh muscles can help reduce stress on the knees and hips.
Several studies show that exercise can help to:
- Improve how well the hip and knee joints work and move.
- Improve how well a person with knee arthritis can move and may delay or prevent the need for surgery.
- Improve posture and balance in older adults with arthritis, which may help prevent falls.
One of the easiest exercises is one of the most important. Just moving each joint as far as you can several times each day helps push old fluid out of the joint and bring fresh new fluid in. This is good for the surfaces of the joint, and it helps you stay flexible.
Motivation to exercise
Sometimes it's hard to get motivated to exercise, even though we know how good it is for us to do. Here are some ways to get started and stay active:
- Find a friend to exercise with you, or join a support group. Many people are more likely to stay with their exercise program if they exercise with a friend.
- Try a class at your local health club or with your local arthritis chapter that is designed for people who have arthritis.
- Record your efforts. Some people are motivated by seeing their progress written down.
- Reward your efforts. When you reach a step toward your goal, reward yourself by doing a special activity or buying something.
You don't have to spend a lot of money at a health club or on equipment to exercise. You can do many exercises, such as walking, almost anywhere at no cost. At a local health club such as the YMCA, you can enroll in a class (rather than pay for a complete membership) that doesn't cost a lot and is designed for people who have arthritis.
Test Your Knowledge
If you have arthritis, exercising will further damage your joints.
This answer is incorrect.
If you have arthritis, exercising is very unlikely to further damage your joints. In fact, exercising may prevent further damage to your joints by increasing your strength and preventing joint stiffness and pain.
This answer is correct.
If you have arthritis, exercising is very unlikely to further damage your joints. In fact, exercising may prevent further damage to your joints by increasing your strength and preventing joint stiffness and pain.
There are several types of exercises that you can do to help keep your muscles strong and reduce joint pain and stiffness:
Aerobic activity
strengthens your heart and lungs and builds your
endurance. For aerobic exercise, you
- Walk outdoors through your neighborhood or on city paths. Or you can walk indoors on a treadmill or at the mall.
- Do water aerobics. You might try walking in water that is up to your waist or your chest (if walking outdoors or indoors isn't comfortable for you). The water helps take the weight off painful joints. And it provides some resistance.
- Swim at your local health club, YMCA, or neighborhood pool. Many locations offer classes designed for people with arthritis. Swimming is a great choice for people who have hip or knee arthritis, because water takes weight off the joints while also providing some resistance.
- Bike outdoors or inside on an indoor bike.
- Be more active in your daily routine. Vacuuming, housework, gardening, or yard work can all be aerobic.
Strength exercises improve and keep the muscles in
your body strong. Strength exercises include:
- Lifting light weights or dumbbells or using elastic tubing. You can use these at your local health club, or you can buy them to use at home.
- Using an exercise machine at home or weight machines at your local health club.
Range-of-motion exercises help keep you flexible
and prevent more damage to your joints.
Range-of-motion exercises include:
- Moving each joint through its full motion. Move each joint as far as you can in each direction without causing pain, 8 to 12 times each day. Remember to do all the little joints, such as those in your fingers.
- Long, slow stretches to keep the soft tissues around the joints flexible. For example, stretches for the legs include calf stretch, quadriceps (thigh) stretch, and hamstring (tendons in the back of the knee) stretch.
- Exercises that target a certain joint such as the knee in order to improve motion in that joint and prevent more damage. An example of this is a quadriceps stretch to keep your knees flexible.
Several types of exercises can help you stretch and strengthen your hands and reduce knee pain and stiffness.
If you have arthritis of the knee, you may be able to reduce the stress on your knee by wearing the right shoes or by adding insoles to your shoes. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about the footwear that would be best for you.
Taping the kneecap in a certain position may also help reduce pain. If you and your doctor find that taping helps you, you can learn how to put the tape on by yourself.
If an activity makes you feel sore, try something else. You can also change how you do the activity. Here are some things you can try:
- Rest between each exercise or activity.
- Decrease your speed.
- If you like to walk or swim, go a shorter distance. You might take two or three short walks in a day rather than one long walk.
- Do a shorter workout, then rest and do a little more later.
- Lift less weight.
Ask your physical therapist or doctor
Talk to your physical therapist or doctor before you start an exercise program. Ask what kind of exercise is best for you. He or she can help you learn the right way to do the exercise. Also ask:
- How to exercise if a joint is sore or if a joint is swollen.
- Whether you should take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to make it easier for you to exercise or use ice after you're done exercising. Be safe with medicines. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
For more information, see:
What to do when your joints hurt
If your joints hurt, try to rest them. Use assistive devices that can help you do your daily activities with less stress on your joints. Your doctor may suggest over-the-counter medicines to help reduce pain in your joints.
Other steps to help get rid of pain and stiffness include heat or cold therapy. You can use heat and cold therapies before or after exercise. It just depends on what works better for you.
For heat therapy, you can:
- Put a warm towel on the joint that hurts.
- Put a hot pack on the joint that hurts.
- Take a warm bath or shower.
- Get water therapy in a heated pool or whirlpool.
Cold therapy may relieve pain or numb an area. Use a cold pack (such as a bag of ice or frozen vegetables wrapped in a thin towel).
It's still important to try to exercise a little, after your pain is relieved. Walking is a great way to stay active. If you have pain when you walk, or if you want to switch back and forth between walking and other exercises, try walking in waist- or chest-deep water, swimming, or riding an indoor bike.
