Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide - Art Direction
As trends in travel changed and the hospitality industry took notice, Starwood wanted to promote their trio of value-driven hotels—Aloft, Element, and Four Points by Sheraton Hotels—and take a unique approach to branding. We knew it was as critical to ensure each hotel retained its complete, individual identity as it was to play up the one thing they all shared in common: their "smartness". Even though they are marketed together here, they each feel like separate, whole entities.

FORT WORTH (CBS 11 NEWS) - The Fort Worth Fire Department Arson and Bomb Squad said five people, ages 17 to 39, have been arrested for a series of car fires set in the Ryan Place neighborhood over the weekend.
Investigators say one of those arrested helped commit the arsons as her eight-year-old son watched on. Fire investigators say tips from the public were crucial in making the arrests.
"Three of the arrests were the result of witness information," said Chief Raymond Hill with the Arson and Bomb Squad. "Two of the arrests were the results of interrogation. Both of the vehicles seen on the security cameras were confirmed to have participated in the arson fires."
Investigators say surveillance images were crucial in tying the suspected arsonists to two cars seen fleeing the scene of the fires. Investigators say a mom and two of her children were in one of the vehicles involved in setting the fires.
"In one vehicle we had our oldest participant and she had, at the time, her eight year old son in the car," said Investigator Brad Sims with the arson and bomb squad.
"She also had a daughter that was there that was 17 that was in the car with her," Sims said. "The daughter's boyfriend was in the car. And then in the other vehicle there was a girlfriend boyfriend combination."
Many worried the fires were set as part of a gang initiation. Arson investigators say the motivation was not gang related, its harder to explain than that.
"The excitement of setting fires and the night getting out of hand," Sims said. "There's not really any explanation that I can give you that I can understand."
All five are charged with arson of a vehicle. Investigators say all five live in the area where the fire were set.

I know this has been covered before, but..its a little different.
Just finished my brothers Redline Monocog 29er with a stock fork and bb7 brakes mounted to a 180mm Magura Storm rotor. I am using a 20mm disc mount and correct mounting hardware, however when I am standing and pump the bike to the left I have noticeable brake rub/drag. I realize 29" wheels and the longer fork flex causing this, however I have gone though all the adjustment procedures and still am getting the rub not matter what I do. My brother is very picky and won't dig it. Any clues? I might just take the bike to my local bike shop tomorrow and get a second diagnosis.
Results 1 to 9 of 9

On June 18th, 2005, I was invited to a get-together in Bloomington, Minnesota that would change my life. At that house, whose address read '9800', I found and befriended a group of guys and gals that from then on would be the best, closest, and wildest friends anyone could ever wish for. I was 17 years old.
It was at 9800 that I met Johnny Nyquist.
Johnny was warm and welcoming from the moment I met him. An easy person to be around, an easy person to laugh with. An optimist. We had a shared interest in skateboarding – we were both extremely mediocre, but that never stopped us. Johnny's talent with computers and photography was a marvel to be seen. He loved chicken wings.
On October 22nd, 2010, an X-ray revealed a mass in his chest near his heart. The mass was a football-sized germ cell tumor. In February 2011, after an unbelievable series of surgeries, the germ cell tumor was defeated. But follow up scans showed problematic lesions and Johnny was diagnosed with cancer again, this time angiosarcoma. Angiosarcoma is an incredibly rare and aggressive form of soft tissue cancer (less than 0.1% of all malignant cancers). Because this type of cancer is so rare, there is very little we know about it. Johnny underwent experimental treatment which was at times very painful, but he had the faith and courage to be an instrument to gain more knowledge about this cancer. It was a noble fight.
On December 22nd, 2013 our Johnny took a jetpack to the Moon. His family was with him when he took his last breath. He was 29 years old.
Johnny's memory is survived by his father Jack, mother Maureen, sister Keely, his dog Bernie, and a sea of friends that loved him dearly. I miss my friend so much it hurts. I feel ever grateful to have been one of the lucky few that got to spend time, laugh, share art, and fall down skateboarding with him.
My hope in releasing this song for free is to raise awareness and funding for research on angiosarcoma in our friend's name. Continue John's noble fight against this cancer.
Share the song, share the page, and continue being excellent to each other. In Johnny's words, "You guys go enjoy."
Big thank you to the following people for donating time to this project.

My husband's grandpa had a sign above his kitchen table written in Swedish that translated said "First We Have Coffee". It likely should have had an additional phrase "and we must also have cookies". He loved sweets. I have fond memories of strolling down the lane with freshly baked cookies to have coffee with him. If he had spoken a phrase every time he had a cookie, he would have chatted incessantly. Instead, he graced these special coffee times with a grin and a wink, worth much more than a barrage of words. Which I cheerily provided and he happily tolerated – after all, a little sugar helps sweeten many things.
My father-in-law fully also embraces this practice, but substitutes a cola for the coffee, especially in the summer. In addition, he has instituted a law involving the absence of all raisins from confections. Like a good grandpa should, he has responsibly passed the anti-dried fruit preference along to at least one of my sons. I break this rule when he's not around despite the complaints from the peanut gallery.
My husband and sons are all cookie hounds. In order for me to have one when I feel like having one, I have to hide them. People think I'm being noble when I bake triple batches but it's really a matter of selfishness. If I want a cookie, I have to bake enough to buy time to hide one or two for myself. This is an exercise in survival of the "flute-est". Yes, I googled types of cookies in order to utilize an alliterative option for the sake of wit. A flute cookie is a rolled wafer cookie – I don't actually make those, they have tins of them at the store that also buy me time to enjoy a treat. If I'm really feeling sneaky, the tins are hidden in a top-secret hideaway in the house until I deem it time to share it with the hounds. One day, I may write about my lack of generosity and propensity toward hoarding sweets, but not today. What is it about a cookie that is so compelling?
In Sweden, they have a custom called 'fika', the practice of coffee. To me, this word has both a bit of stop and a bit of go in it. Swedes stop regularly to meet socially and they go forward in relationship, enjoying coffee and sweets together. They're not the only ones to do so. When I was a teen, my mom used to take me to the Co-op for fries and gravy in the middle of a shopping trip. We still stop for coffee whenever we shop. It's important!
When the kids were little, I'd stroller on down 4th street one block, cross one block over to 5th and down one more for coffee. Adirondack chairs, large funky mugs and intermittent chirps at misbehaving smivenbivens marked these special times of relating and commiserating. In mid morning or mid afternoon, especially during renovations, my in-laws and anyone within earshot stop for coffee and cookies. What is it about coffee that is so endearing?
Nearly every morning, I start my day with coffee affectionately fortified with heavy cream and honey that I thoroughly enjoy while I spend time reading my Bible and praying. I ask God to align my steps, to help me to listen well and act wisely. I say sorry and thank you and help me and sometimes I even say nothing. I long for my life to be filled with the fruits of deep faith and abiding love. I want it to be full of cookies and coffee. And then life happens.
In the Walmart line the other day, I may or may not have muttered with a completely annoyed tone of voice the following phrase "apparently you have the patience of a gnat" as the man behind me stepped into my personal space, rushing me as I was actually trying to leave as quickly as possible with my purchases.
At home, I have uttered phrases full of vinegar that have cut my family members to the core. And in those moments, all of the coffee and cookies in the world cannot bridge the chasm my careless words created. I regularly fall very short of practicing the very thing that I pray for every morning.
I've been quick to listen to my own hurts and slow to acknowledge the pain I've inflicted. Can you hear my sorry heart?
I just finished reading once again the tender story of Boaz and Ruth, the beginning of the line of David. I was filled with awe at the kindness, faithfulness, loyalty and honour that God deposited in David's line, adding cookies and coffee to his story long before he was ever born.
I can relate. I see the deep kindness that God deposited in my husband's line long before I ever came on the scene. The tenderheartedness of my father-in-law speaks louder than any words about kindness could. His father-in-law's large, gentle hands held our newborn sons and taught me about the importance of coffee and cookies, time together in patience and kindness. He sanctioned the very first house we ever bought, walking through silently knocking on every wall, investigating every nook and cranny until he was able to utter "good house". So of course, we bought it and we loved it. And it was a good house, a great house actually. Our first two sons were born during those years.
The other day, my Dad took our eldest for coffee/breakfast, so quick to treat his grandson with generosity and a few laughs. As my parents age, I see the deep patience and love that they have for each other, and I long for that to be our story, too. I may have some changes to make.
I'm deeply thankful for the kindness and patience that I receive daily from my husband. No matter how much I dish out, he serves me with love. I still cannot figure out why. He is generous, kind, and long suffering. I want to be that way, too. He's definitely my Boaz, except he's not older than me. I want to be his Ruth, except I'm not very good with gardening. I think you can pick up what I'm laying down. You feel me? Insert contemporary colloquial phrase that will embarrass sons and induce groans of "that's so lame" along with under-the-breath utterances that may include the word 'nutbar'. Mission accomplished. I feel a tremendous amount when I write these thoughts. Thankfulness is at the top, followed shortly after with a tinge of sorrow at my shortcomings.
I am quick to say "full fat or go home" when it comes to the art of baking. In my experience, baking falls flat without the richness of eggs, butter and cream. It's the same with life. I am the blessed recipient of the richest of fare from my heavenly Father. How could I possibly wish to starve others of His kindness? Would I really want to serve burnt and tasteless cookies? Who wants to experience a flawed fika?
I think I may need to concentrate more on cultivating a coffee and cookies approach to everyday life. Perhaps the next time I am tempted to snap, I'll substitute a ginger snap instead and offer something sweeter than what's bouncing around in my head.
It's possible that during the next potential momentary lapse of character, especially in lineups or on the freeway, that instead of muttering and uttering and fluttering, I'll switch out sarcasm and seething for a sip of coffee. Choose the bean and the being!
Kindness and patience don't have to be that hard to give or to receive. It's really a matter of perspective. Time delays need not be seen as blockages to life. They're a part of life, opportunities to reflect, think, and pray a little more. And in my case, confess quite a bit. Changing another person's weather can start with a quick smile or even just the absence of the caustic.
Cookies are confections of kindness. Coffee times are pauses for perspective. Who knew that a sweet and a soda could offer refreshment and help soften my stubborn heart?
Romans 2:4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
May your today and your tomorrow be filled with cookies and coffee! Gotta go, it's fika time!

Tears are streaming down my face, Cursive. Why this? Why now?
You hit your stride with 2003's The Ugly Organ. I don't want to attribute everything to the addition of Gretta Cohn on cello, but damn, she sure added a unique dynamic to your sound. Cellists around the country now are being hounded by smelly emo kids to more or less rip you guys off. Among the other greats, "Art Is Hard" and "The Recluse," as a one-two punch, were tremendous. And your frontman Tim Kasher had never been so appealing, you know, in that this-guy's-voice-kinda-blows-but-it's-kinda-cool sort of way.
But you had to go and do this. You had to release The Difference Between Houses and Homes, a collection of out-of-print seven-inch singles and unreleased songs from 1995 to 2001. Why is now a good time for a career-rarities retrospective? Would you rather your fans forget the career-defining leap of The Ugly Organ? You want everyone to revert back to the days of loving you for being just another emo card from the angular-guitar deck? Maybe you'd just want to give us all a reminder that your early records were fairly boring, you know, to have us counting our lucky stars that you don't make break-and-bake music anymore.
"Spanning" your ten-year existence, this collection lifts the bulk (as in all but one) of its songs from your original lineup, which, as you know, was sans Cohn and included Steve Pedersen on guitar rather than his replacement Ted Stevens. So it comes as no surprise that the one Cohn track, "Nostalgia," is the standout cut. Recorded two years before the release of The Ugly Organ, "Nostalgia" has a dark, wandering feel, reflecting a moodiness that came to characterize much of your work on the album to follow.
Throughout the collection you've piled together songs that range from energetic, immature guitar hacking ("Dispenser") to tedious slow-churners ("Icebreakers") to just plain awfulness ("I Thought There'd Be More Than This," "The Knowledgeable Hasbeens"). Even songs that somewhat strike the aural-pleasure chords, such as "Pivotal" and "A Disruption in the Normal Swing of Things," are drowned out by their own bland existence as a product of a band that was at that point without a strong identity, at least in terms of having something that would set you all apart from the 4,567.47 college-townie groups making the exact same brand of rock.
Cursive, please come out with another studio album soon so we can all forget this misstep ever happened. All will be forgiven. I promise

Riegel-Emory family papers
Fairfield (Fairfield county, Connecticut)
Riegel, Benjamin, 1878-1941 (Photographer)
manuscripts (document genre)
Benjamin Riegel (1878-1941) was born in Riegelsville, New Jersey, son of Benjamin and Harriet (DeWitt) Riegel. He graduated from Riegel Academy in 1894 and went to Lehigh University to study mechanical engineering. He graduated in 1899, and went into the family business, the Riegel Paper Corporation, established by his father. He married Leila Edmonston, of Washington, D. C., in 1901, and moved to Manhattan. In 1906 he created Riegel Textile through investments in a Ware Shoals, South Carolina, cotton mill, and, being a hands-on businessman, lived part of the year in Ware Shoals, where he built a model town for his employees. In 1911, when their daughter Katherine was born, the proud parents built a community center and named it Katherine Hall.
It was most likely Benjamin Riegel's business acquaintances, like C. B. Sturges of Kenzie's Point East, and other businessmen, who suggested Fairfield as a location for a country estate. Many were already involved in plans to develop Sasco Hill as an upscale area or Fairfield starting with a golf club. Riegel did indeed become one of the founders of the Fairfield Country Club, and its first secretary.
Benjamin Riegel, besides being a businessman, was also an amateur photographer, and most, if not all, of the historic black and white photographs were created by him before his death in 1941.

Why are Health Check-ups Important?
Many of us undermine the need for a routine Health Check-up as we believe that no action is required until one is diagnosed with a particular disease. But this is a wrong notion. Health Check-ups are important for several reasons as they help us identify potential problems and early stage of diseases, well in advance. In a number of cases (especially in critically illnesses like cancer), an early diagnosis can help prevent or manage the disease and improve the patient's life span. According to cancer.org, the survival rate for stage 1 cancer is 100% and stage 2 cancer is 93%. This proves that early diagnosis is extremely important.
Health Check-ups also help one understand one's mind and body better. Stress related problems and anxiety are on a rise. Due to high pollution levels and food contamination, viral infections are also on the rise. A simple Master Health Check-up or Executive Health Check-up can help determine if your body is prone to any diseases. A Master Health Check-up includes the following tests:
- Height
- Weight
- Complete Blood Count
- Blood Sugar Fasting & Post Lunch
- Serum Electrolytes (NA, K, CL)
- 2D Echo
- Blood Grouping & RH Typing
- Urine Study
- Lipid Profile
- X-ray Each Film
- LFT(Total)
- Serum Creatinine
- Ultrasound Whole Abdomen
- Blood Urea
- Positive Well Being counselling
- Dental Consultation
- Dietician Consultation
- Doctor Consultation
Many people argue that Health Check-ups are an expensive affair. But they fail to realize that investing in Health Check-Up Packages is a smart way to save on major surgeries that might be required if a disease is left undiagnosed.

In Persians cats, the diseases of concern include polycystic kidney disease, entropion, blocked tear ducts, dental disorders, wry mouth, idiopathic facial dermatitis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Here's what you should know about these disorders:
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
HCM is a progressive heart disease in which the heart becomes thickened and fails to relax normally. As a result, the heart cannot fill adequately with blood, and dynamics involving heart-pumping action change and congestive heart failure eventually occurs. Sometimes blood clots form, traveling to and causing blockages in other sites, particularly the hind quarters, resulting in sudden rear-end paralysis. Although HCM can be an "old age" disease, a hereditary form can occur in young cats, often but not exclusively between the ages of 6 months to 3 years.
Clinical signs. Respiratory distress (troubled, labored or quickened breathing), reduced appetite, lethargy, sudden rear-end paralysis. "But often cats are asymptomatic for quite some time," explains Patti Iampietro, VMD, a practitioner at Best Friends Animal Society (the largest animal sanctuary in the United States, located in Kanab, Utah). "Commonly, the disease is discovered on a routine exam when the vet hears a heart murmur," she explains.
Management. Although there's no cure for HCM, proper management can ease the burden of the heart, extending both the quality and quantity of life. Depending upon the severity at diagnosis, various heart medications are prescribed to improve cardiac function, remove fluids from the lungs and thin the blood, Iampietro says. Follow-up exams with the veterinarian are important to monitor disease progression, effectiveness of the medications, and to make sure the medications don't cause any adverse side effects. "We often have to tweak the medications, depending how the cat responds," Iampietro says.
Owners should monitor the cat for signs of adverse side effects (inappetence, vomiting and changes in water intake) and should limit stress. "Don't let the dog or toddler chase the cat around, and keep the cat indoors," Iampietro warns. Should the cat exhibit signs of respiratory distress, it should be taken immediately to the veterinarian for emergency treatment.
Prognosis. The hereditary form of HCM tends to be aggressive. "In general, this is a pretty severe disease," Iampietro says. If a young cat develops HCM, the prognosis is about 6 to 12 months, depending upon the degree of severity when diagnosed."
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
PKD is a progressive, inherited kidney disorder in which a large number of cysts form in the kidneys. Present at birth, the cysts are initially small in size, but gradually enlarge as the cat ages, eventually impacting kidney function and leading to kidney failure. "Typically, animals are young to mature adults between 3 to 10 years when signs first appear," says Jessica M. Quimby, D.V.M., a small animal internal medicine resident at the Veterinary Medical Center at Colorado State University.
Clinical signs. Weight loss, poor hair coat, decreased appetite, and increased drinking and urination. Upon examination, the veterinarian may find dehydration, large kidneys, pale gums, mouth odor and mouth ulcers. "Labwork may reveal elevated kidney values, poorly concentrated urine, high phosphorus levels or anemia," Quimby notes.
Management. PKD cannot be reversed or halted through therapy, although supportive treatments can make the cat feel better and improve its quality of life. "Treatments include specially formulated diets to help decrease the workload on the kidneys and to balance electrolytes, antacids to help with stomach upset, fluids to help correct dehydration, appetite stimulants, phosphate binders if the phosphorus is high, hormone therapy to help balance calcium and phosphorus, and injections to help regenerate blood cells if anemia is severe," Quimby says.
Alternatively, owners can opt for a feline kidney transplant, an expensive procedure available at a handful of veterinary referral centers. Cats that receive kidney transplants must be regularly monitored and remain on immunosuppression drugs for the rest of their lives.
Prognosis. PKD is progressive, with many cats eventually succumbing to death from kidney failure. "It cannot be predicted how long a cat will live with management," Quimby says. Survival rates for cats that undergo kidney transplants varies, ranging from several months to many years.
Idiopathic Facial Dermatitis
Idiopathic facial dermatitis is a poorly understood, chronic skin disease that affects the face. The cause is unknown, although a genetic basis is suspected. "It causes very unpleasant facial lesions that can progress rapidly and become severe," says Susan Little, D.V.M., owner of Bytown Cat Hospital in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and president of the Winn Feline Foundation. "It's uncomfortable, falling into the category of 'won't kill you, but will make you miserable' type of disease," she says.
Clinical signs. Generally, it first appears at a young age (usually under the age of 2 years) and consists of black discharge around the eyes and nose, redness, swelling, hair loss, self-trauma, and sometimes ear inflammation. Often, the dermatitis forms a "butterfly" pattern around the eyes and across the nose, Little says.
Management. "Unfortunately, there's no definitive treatment," Little says. "Typically, cats initially respond to corticosteroids, but become refractory (meaning stubborn, difficult) and are then given cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant drug). Usually they must stay on medication for life."
Prognosis. Idiopathic facial dermatitis tends to be chronic, usually worsens over time despite therapy and is generally resistant to long-term resolution. "The cats that do the best are the cases that have some contributing factors that we can treat, such as fungal or bacterial infection," Little says.
Entropion is a condition in which the rim of the eyelid curls inward. As a result, the eyelid hairs and lashes rub against the cornea, causing irritation and damage. The eyelid can also cover up and block the tear ducts, which maintain eye moisture and protect the cornea. Entropion occurs in either upper or lower eyelids, in one or both eyes. It's often caused by a congenital malformity, such as excess nasal or skin folds, but entropion can also occur from trauma or other eye disorders.
Clinical signs. Squinting, excess tearing, reddened eye and eye discharge. "The owner usually notices an odd appearance to the eye," notes Jean Duddy, D.V.M., of the Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. "It's often picked up on the annual exam at the veterinarian's office." The congenital form occurs in immature cats; secondary entropion can occur at any age.
Treatment. Protocol depends on severity, cause and age of the cat. If the veterinarian determines the entropion is a secondary condition in response to another disorder, the underlying condition needs to be corrected. "In minor cases where the entropion is a congenital defect and tearing is the only problem, no treatment is needed. For cats where the eyelid inversion causes corneal ulcers, surgical correction to remove excess eyelid folds is recommended," Duddy explains. "In young cats, that's often a two-stage process: First a vet will use sutures to temporarily tack the eyelids out of the way while the cat grows and develops normal, full-size facial features. Later, depending on the severity of the condition, it my need surgery to remove the extra tissue." For cats with multiple abnormalities in the same eye, Duddy says a combination of surgery and medical management may be needed. In these cases, an ophthalmologist should be consulted.
Prognosis. Excellent, with appropriate treatment.
Blocked Tear Ducts
Blocked tear ducts are most commonly the result of inflammation and scarring of the opening or ducts. "It's often due to previous eye infections," Duddy says. "But could be caused by a congenital malformation."
Clinical signs. Tearing. Occasional skin irritation is secondary to the tearing. "The signs occur after the tear duct totally blocks, so it can occur at any age," Duddy reports.
Treatment: "Most blocked tear ducts are just managed by keeping the areas as clean and dry as possible, with ointments sometimes used cosmetically to decrease staining," Duddy says. "Sometimes the vet can flush the blocked ducts to try to clear the blockage, but often heavy sedation or anesthesia is needed and usually, because of the scarring involved in these small ducts, success is rare."
Prognosis. Seldom cured, but blocked tear ducts are rarely a severe medical problem and the cat can live comfortably with the condition.
Dental Disorders
Dental disorders can sometimes occur as a consequence of the Persian's compressed, brachycephalic (flat) face. Brachy cats have the same size and same number of teeth as a normal-faced cat, but with a shortened jaw. Additionally, a brachy cat's smaller upper jaw can likewise result in crowded, malpositioned teeth. Crowding favors the accumulation of plaque bacteria, which leads to periodontal disease if left untreated, periodontal disease invites painful mouth infections, infection of vital body organs and tooth loss.
In some cases, malpositioned teeth protrude into the opposite gums or lips. Abnormal tooth-on-tooth contact, excessive tooth wear or tooth trauma, abnormal or painful chewing, and prevention of mouth closure can also occur.
Clinical signs. Loose, crooked, or crowded teeth; bad breath; bleeding gums; chewing on one side of the mouth; cocking the head while eating; food falling out of the side of the mouth while eating. "Most often, these problems are first noticed when the cat is between 14 to 24 weeks of age," says Bill Gengler, D.V.M., Dipl. AVDC, associate dean of clinical affairs and director of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. "This is the age when the cat sheds its deciduous [baby] teeth and its permanent teeth come in."
Treatment. If overcrowding isn't causing pain or excessive tooth wear or trauma, the most important thing is keeping periodontal disease under control. Daily toothbrushing and regular, professional dental cleanings will remove plaque and tartar," Gengler says. Also helpful: dental diets and dental chews (assist in removal of plaque), and oral rinses or sprays (contain enzymes that reduce plaque or plaque-causing bacteria). "Some water additives have been shown to reduce tartar formation, but the safety of water additives still needs to be proven," Gengler adds.
In cases where malpositioning is or could lead to additional problem is the simplest and most common means of correction, extracting of non-strategic teeth, Gengler says. "Strategic teeth can be orthodontically moved or crown-shortened. Moving teeth involves placing into the cat's mouth a fixed biteplate and retainer, usually for 6 to 18 weeks. Crown-shortening refers to cutting off and shortening the tooth so the tooth doesn't make inappropriate contact with the opposite jaw when the jaw closes. Crown-shortening must always be done by properly trained veterinarians using appropriate endodontic therapy under sterile surgical conditions."
Prognosis. Depends upon the severity of the problem. "If there isn't severe damage to dental tissue, once you extract, move or shorten the tooth, the prognosis is usually very good," Gengler says. "However, if the teeth have undergone significant damage or periodontal disease is well established and bone around the tooth is lost, that creates lifelong problems unless extensive periodontal therapy is provided."
Wry Mouth
Also known as wry bite, this condition occurs when the lower jaw undergoes an abnormal deviation to one side as it grows. This malformation sometimes causes some of the teeth to strike the palate or the lip of the animal. "The condition is most often genetic, but trauma to the young kitten may also cause the jaw to develop asymmetrically. When trauma isn't the cause, these cats shouldn't be used for show or breeding," Gengler says.
Clinical signs. A twisted or curved lower jaw in the growing cat, cats are often unable to completely close the mouth.
Treatment. "Minor cases can be treated through teeth adjustment to prevent soft tissue contact or excessive tooth wear," Gengler says. "This may involve extraction or moving teeth with an orthodontic appliance. With very severe cases, the jaw can be surgically cut and repositioned."
Prognosis. Depends on the severity of the defect, but in most cases, a comfortable bite can be achieved, Gengler says.
Bottom Line
Although the odds are that your Persian will live a long and healthy life, you can increase those odds by maintaining a good wellness program:
- Vaccinating against disease per your veterinarian's recommendation
- Providing appropriate parasite protection
- Maintaining a good diet
- Keeping weight under control
- Keeping skin and coat clean and well-groomed
- Providing regular at-home and professional dental care
- Scheduling regular veterinary exams (especially as your cat ages)
- Arranging for a veterinary consultation or checkup if you notice any changes in your Persian's health or behavior
Remember, paying attention to changes in your Persian's behavior and staying on top of developing problems via early diagnosis and treatment often yields the best prognosis by either correcting a problem before it becomes severe or permanent, or for life-ending diseases, by helping slow disease progression and extending your cat's remaining months or years.

Updated to include information on Marathon Asset Management LLP and another v Seddon and another, in which the High Court awarded the employer nominal damages only, for breach of contract.
Practical guidance on drafting an employment contract, including the written statement of particulars; formation of the contract; variation clauses; mobility clauses; collective agreements; probationary periods; confidentiality clauses; garden leave clauses; and post-termination restrictions.
This case is a good example of how the terms of a staff handbook that is stated to be non-contractual can still be incorporated into an employee's contract of employment.
In Bateman and others v Asda Stores Ltd EAT/0221/09, the EAT held that the employer was entitled to change its employees' pay arrangements without their consent because it had reserved a clear contractual right to make unilateral variations to their terms and conditions of employment.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal has held that an employer can reserve the right to vary employees' contracts unilaterally. Although varying a contractual term without notice or consultation can amount to a breach of the implied term of mutual trust and confidence, it was not asserted that there had been such a breach in this case and the employer's unilateral variation of a pay regime was therefore valid.

Spotify Launches Artist-Curated Apps
Spotify has unveiled four new music apps from Quincy Jones, Tiësto, Rancid and Disturbed that will give users a curated experience through different music genres.
Spotify has unveiled four new music apps from Quincy Jones, Tiësto, Rancid and Disturbed that will give users a curated experience through different music genres. These are the first in a new series of Artist Apps created for the Spotify platform. A number of other artists and music experts will be launching apps in the coming weeks and months, including Steve Aoki, and artists from the worlds of rock, pop, hip-hop, jazz and R&B.
To celebrate the launch of the apps, Spotify held a cocktail reception in Los Angeles which featured a conversation between the legendary Quincy Jones and Bruno Mars.
Jones commented, "The Spotify Artist App is a wonderful opportunity to share some of the behind the scenes stories of a few of the memorable recordings that I have been fortunate enough to make. I think this App will give entertaining insight and value for these recordings to both music fans and aficionados."
The new Artist Apps are:
Quincy Jones - The Stories Behind The Music - Exclusive audio by Quincy is combined with tailored playlists and incredible artwork to tell the stories behind his amazing career in music. Quincy will talk about his personal heroes and mentors, the art of hit-making, and how music is used in movies; all to a soundtrack that brings these amazing stories to life.
Tiësto's Club Life - Superstar DJ and producer Tiësto curates the best of dance music across Spotify. The app will include a single of the week, album of the month, festival of the month, and a chart of the hottest dance music.
Rancid - Punk veterans Rancid curate the world of punk and the music it continues to heavily influence. Every week the band and friends will add to a playlist of picks that will include information on the tracks and bios of the pickers. Rancid's Tim Armstrong will use the picks to take fans on a trip to his personal record room to take a deep dive into the music that inspires him.
Disturbed - The band Disturbed curate the past, present and future of rock and metal music with playlists from each of the band members, special guest playlists and a journey through the last few decades of Rock and Metal.
"Our goal is to partner with artists to create the best possible experience for our users," said D.A. Wallach, Spotify's Artist-in-Residence. "With these new apps we wanted to create a space on Spotify where artists could have 100 percent creative control - giving the apps their own feel, functionality and direction, and building rich and engaging experiences for their fans."
"Spotify is one of the most exciting platforms out there, helping to redefine the way people listen to music," said Tiësto. "I'm delighted to be part of it, and to give dance music fans a new way to discover artists, albums, festivals, and to share what I'm into."
"I always want to share music with my friends and tell people about artists...both new and old," said Tim Armstrong from Rancid. "Nothing is more gratifying to me than turning people on to music and making it a part of their lives and then, them in turn, turning it onto other people. There is nothing like having music in common. We are truly looking forward to this whole thing."
"This app in Spotify lets us create a really cool and visual place where we can pull together the music that influenced us, the music we're listening to now and the bands that we think everyone will be listening to in the future," said David Draiman from Disturbed. "Combining this app with Spotify's catalog is a great way for us to share all of this with our fans."
Artist Apps are available globally on the desktop client of Spotify on the left hand nav bar. Users can use the App Finder to add apps to their list of favorites.
Thanks for the report to FMQB.com.

Bell was convicted of especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sexual battery, and two alternative counts of first-degree felony murder in the death of Starr Harris.
The victim's husband hired Bell to work for the family's landscape business.
The crime occurred in 2010 in Tipton County, Tennessee.
According to a 2010 news report:
Please report typos...
Just 4 months ago Bell was released from prison in Pennsylvania where he spent 13 years. Prison officials say he was released last February after being sentenced to carjacking among other charges in December 1997.
An investigation has revealed Juvenile Court in Tipton County, where Bell grew up, sent him to a treatment center in Pennsylvania in the mid 1990's at the age of 15. His criminal background there shows more than 30 charges. They include aggravated assault, escape and robbery of a motor vehicle, Tennessee's equivalent of carjacking.
"When I hired him I had been told he was in jail for riding in a stolen car. I didn't know anything else other than that," said Rick Harris.
Harris, the husband of 36 year-old Starr Harris whom bell is expected to be formally charged Thursday with killing, says he didn't want to jump to judgment when he hired Bell to work for his family landscaping business.
"I give people a lot of jobs in this area throughout the year and try to help and you just don't ever know," he said.
Harris was found beaten to death June 1st behind her home in Drummonds, TN. Besides being an employee, Bell was also Harris' neighbor, living just around the corner. Rick Harris says Bell went to the home the day his wife was killed, upset about his paycheck

No, no. Stay they hand. For now.
The gays must be allowed a chance "to repent and convert."
Well, what is it, exactly, that has Pastor Swanson all fired and brimstoned up? He believes gays and lesbians are taking over the country. Harry Potter is evil! Princess Elsa is part of a nefarious, Walt Disney-driven plot. He has made his fears clear, including during a radio discussion in 2014, when he explained the dangers of watching Elsa in Frozen, to co-host Steve Vaughn: "You know, I think this cute little movie is going to indoctrinate my 5-year-old to be a lesbian or treat homosexuality or bestiality in a light sort of way."
Oh woe, woe, woe. Even horses and cows will be at risk!!!!

Aristotle was a Greek teacher who lived 2 300 years ago.
He was the teacher of Alexander the Great.
Aristotle studied nature and developed ideas about natural processes.
One of the natural processes he studied was burning.
Aristotle's theory was that all matter was made up of a mixture of three elements.
The elements were Earth, Water and Air.
Different materials contained different proportions of Earth, Water and Air, and
this is what gave the materials different properties.
Fire, a fourth element, could be used to combine or separate the Earth, Air and Water.
Aristotle argued that when something burnt the Air was liberated upwards as smoke
and the Earth fell downwards as ash.
DRAW a picture to illustrate Aristotle's theory of burning.
Alchemists were early scientists who studied the different properties of matter.
They believed Aristotle's theory was correct.
They thought different materials had different properties because they had different
proportions of Earth, Air, Water and Fire in them.
From Aristotle's theory, alchemists thought it was possible to change lead to gold.
To do this they would need to heat the lead so some of the Fire went into the lead.
This would make the dull grey lead, which had too much Earth in it,
take on the bright shiny yellow colour of gold.
That was the theory.
In practice, they thought it was necessary to use the right technique to make this happen.
For alchemists, technique involved saying the right words at the right time and
adding magical ingredients to promote the transformation.
DRAW a picture showing an alchemist at work.
Georg Stahl was a German doctor who helped patients who were mentally disturbed.
He was also interested in what happened when things burnt.
Stahl developed his theory of burning in the closing years of the seventeenth century.
He thought when things burn they give out a substance called phlogiston.
Things that burnt brightly and fiercely contained a lot of phlogiston.
Things burnt slowly, or not at all, contained little or no phlogiston.
In support of his theory, Stahl was able to point to how what burnt
was quite different to what was left after burning.
Generally, things did weigh less after burning than they did before.
DRAW a picture to illustrate Stahl's theory of burning.
Antoine Lavoisier was a French tax collector who lived between 1743 and 1794.
He studied what happened when metals were burnt.
From his careful experiments he confirmed that when metals burnt their mass increased.
Lavoisier's theory was that matter is made up of many different elements
not Earth, Water, Air and Fire. One of these elements was oxygen.
Lavoisier suggested that elements combine in different ways to make new substances.
When something burns, oxygen combines with the other elements in the substance
to form oxides. Sometimes the oxides are solids - as with metals.
Sometimes the oxides are gases - as with carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
During the French Revolution Lavoisier was executed by guillotine in 1794.
DRAW a picture to illustrate Lavoisier's theory of burning.
John Dalton lived between 1766 and 1844.
He worked as a private teacher in England.
This gave him time to study natural phenomena.
He was interested in the weather and how rainfall gave rise to springs of water.
He published studies of colour blindness. Dalton also studied burning.
Dalton thought that elements were made up of tiny particles called atoms.
The atoms in any one element were all the same,
but different from the atoms in any other element.
Dalton's theory was that when substances burnt,
the atoms of oxygen in the air combined with the different atoms in the substance
to produce new combinations of atoms.
The substance before and after burning had different properties
because they contained different combinations of atoms.
DRAW a picture to illustrate Dalton's theory of burning.
In traditional African societies burning becomes a topic for conversation
when unusual events have taken place.
Such events may be a house that has burnt down,
or someone's crops that have been destroyed in a bush fire.
The explanation for such unusual events may be sought in social behaviour.
The burning of a house or crops may be attributed to:
- someone outside the family having a grudge against the family;
- someone inside the family having committed a crime that has yet to be exposed.
The fire is seen to be a warning sign that the family's social relations with the community
need attention.
DRAW a picture to illustrate traditional views on burning.
Here is a fire triangle.
The fire triangle tells us what is needed for things to burn.

Kirby's Prime Steakhouse - San Antonio Ratings and Reviews
I've never given K anything other than thumbs up but you fell a little flat on Saturday. I had my first sub par steak. It was cooked perfectly but the cut itself was lacking. I never want to send a steak back because it throws the entire table off. I had a Old Fashioned, which I've had before at K, but this one was strange indeed. I don't know what was in it that I usually don't encounter.
I will be back another day but please bring some variety to your menu. I've been coming for 8 years or so and I think you need to shake it up a bit
This is one of our favorite places in San Antonio, and the lobster-cargo is fabulous. The wine list is extensive and covers most any palate along with the fresh and flavorful options on the menu. This was where I wanted to take my wife for her birthday - and we love the atmosphere. The service is impeccable - and friendly, so everything's taken care of well. Come hungry - or you'll go home with a lot of food.
We had a fantastic time celebrating anniversary with family. Sommelier was very knowledgeable and recommended a great cabernet. Steaks and appetizers were exceptional as usual. Service was fantastic. If waiter didn't know the answer to something, he called over someone else that did. We really enjoyed the evening.
We were very pleased with the food and the service. It did get quite loud at one point, but is was manageable in context. The servers were attentive, and the food was very good. Only constructive note, the server removed an unfinished decanter of wine without asking us - which likely had a glass of wine remaining. No harm, as we were likely done but it should have required the question.
The ambiance, waitress/servers, food and everything in between was excellent. Extremely friendly service from beginning to end. The steaks are the best- tender, melt in your mouth, deliciousness, and the mushroom risotto was excellent. We had a party of 6, celebrating birthdays and our server really took the time to conversate and make the occasion special and memorable, taking a photo, printing it and giving the birthday guest a card. Would definatley recommend this steakhouse. Wonderful experience, too notch service and food.
We celebrated a birthday, and the response from Kirby's went above and beyond anything we have ever experienced. Austin, the server was fabulous, very knowledgeable, and personable. The entire service team went above and beyond; stopping and making sure that our drinks were full even though they were not assigned our table. I would highly recommend Kirby's again and we are looking forward to going back very soon.
This is the second time I have taken a group of business associates to Kirby's. They have a great wine list. The service and food is outstanding. Excellent steaks and everyone loved all the side dishes that are large enough to share. I strongly recommend Kirby's.
I have had nothing but perfect dining experiences at Kirby's. It's the perfect spot when you want to celebrate something special. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Steak is always perfect and love the specials they offer. It's a little pricey so I save this restaurant for happy hour most of the time, and dining for special occasions.
As usual the staff went above and beyond with their service! We went to celebrate my wife's grandmother's 100 birthday which was being celebrated in Toledo and because she could not attend due to work. I had the cold smoked ribeye that is the best steak any where! My wife tried the bone-in filet and was extremely pleased with it. I also had the non old fashion drink created by Coreyand it is worth going back just for it! This is our favorite restaurant!
The appetizers, salads and drinks were really good. Four out of the six of us ordered the redfish. We were all disappointed . The fish had no taste. I was really disappointed sine I highly recommended Kirby's and the redfish. I am a regular at the Kirby'in The Woodlands.

Hardware for dresser drawer
A home owner from Arizona says:
October 15, 2014
So this is a Lane dresser. The rail is on the bottom of the drawer. What is broken is the part that keeps the drawer from falling out when pulled open. It is a brown plastic part. Hope you can help. Many thanks
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
October 16, 2014
We would need to see the actual part to determine what you need to repair your dresser. There are many kinds. Please send some photos with dimensions of the part you need to replace and any parts associated with it and we will do the rest.

App lets residents report potential terror threats
ARLINGTON COUNTY, Va. - Arlington County police are urging residents to download and use a free app to report potential terrorist threats.
The "See Something, Send Something" mobile app allows users to either send law enforcement a photograph of something they think is suspicious or fill out a report. Police say it is a way for the public to share tips safely and accurately.
"It's just another way to have residents feel comfortable interacting with police. And if they're able to provide us information that can lead to intelligence or keeping the community safe, we are all for this app," said Dustin Sternbeck of the Arlington County Police Department.
In a message to residents, Arlington County police say their officers have received extensive training in active shooter situations and have the necessary tools to respond to them.
In addition to the mobile app, county police have rolled out a tip form on their website.

Australian woman died after 'head was cut off during freak lawnmower accident'
An Australian woman walking to work was killed during a freak accident after she was struck in the head by flying metal thrown up by a grass cutter, which left her decapitated.
The 42 year-old woman, who has not been named, is believed to have been struck by a 60cm piece of steel pipe, in what witnesses described as a "freak accident".
Workplace safety officials have launched an investigation into the accident, which occurred on Wednesday morning in the north Queensland town of Townsville.
It is understood that the woman was decapitated and died instantly at the scene after walking past an empty block of land just after 8am.
Police said a tractor pulling a grass cutter ran over a steel pipe that had been lying in the long grass, which was then sent flying through the air at great speed.
Initial reports suggested she had been hit by a lawnmower blade due to the horrific nature of her injuries.
Police are investigating whether it was a blade that struck her.
The male tractor driver, an unnamed 48 year-old private contractor, is in hospital suffering shock.
It is understood he will be interviewed by police later.
Horrified witnesses have been offered counselling while children at the local Townsville Central State School were sent home for the day.
Cheryl Mortenson, a Queensland police spokeswoman, said the tractor lawnmower had been working nearby at the time the woman was walking past.
"She had been walking along the footpath when she was hit in the head by a piece of flying metal," she said.
"The tractor was operating nearby and she was struck in the head. We don't know if it was a piece of metal or if it was another object."
Darren Randall, a local policeman who attended the scene, added to the Townsville Bulletin: "She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"She just happened to be in the exact trajectory of the pipe."
One woman said he had just driven around the corner just moments after the accident, where she discovered the woman lying on the ground.
"The mower guy was in shock, so I sat him down in the shade," she told the paper.
"It was a freak accident."
Geoff Eales, a local businessman, also told the paper that his staff had been left distressed by the incident.
''The policewoman said it was the worst thing she had seen in 15 years,'' he said.
''At the end of the day there is no other explanation than that it was bad luck.
''It was a one-in-a-million situation. If she had been one second later, or one second earlier, it wouldn't have happened.''
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland have launched an investigation.
Local police are also preparing a report for the local coroner.

Americanul sarac, care nu-si doreste sa munceasca, si al carui nivel de trai este subventionat de stat …. are (prin instrumentul votului) aceleasi drepturi pe care le are si americanul din clasa mijlocie, care munceste si care plateste taxele din care sunt subventionate cheltuieilile sociale. Asta a schimbat fundamentele institutionale pe care SUA au fost construite! Asta este observatia facuta de Mark Faber intr-un interviu la CNBC!
Una dintre (tot mai) multele opinii care ne atrag atentia ca SUA devin tot mai socialiste … iar sintagma Statele Unite Socialiste ale Americii – incepe sa capete contur! Un contur care cel putin deocamdata nu este la fel de bine definit cum este in cazul Uniunii Europene – unde conceputul de "social" lipseste doar din titulatura – in rest – daca ne uitam la majoritatea documentelor (in care se vorbeste de "modelul social european") dar mai ales la masurile, proiectele si reglementarile adoptate de Bruxelles – putem vorbi fara a gresi foarte mult de Statele Socialiste ale Europei.
Haideti sa vedem ce spune editorul "Gloom Boom & Doom"
it's not an issue between democrats and republicans because this are many democrats who are well-to-do people and there are many republicans who are not so affluent. it's a question of essentially entitlements, the majority of people obviously is not particularly well to do, so they want larger and larger entitlements, transfer payments and work less. and the people that have money are the ones that work very hard, and they don't want to have transfer payments. so the people that have the money say that 10% of the population that is affluent in the u.s. or maybe just 5% of the populati population, they are outnumbered by the poor people. therefore they have essentially no votes. so the one way to get back at the masses that all get these entitle systems to prints money — entitlements is to print money. by printing money and outsourcing production to china, you disen franchifranchise the class, then asset prices go up. could be real estate, stocks, commodities, whatever it is. and so your asset value increases dramatically, and there is wealth disparity that is increasing. you make it sound like a conspiracy theory. you think that this is an intentional — it's not conspiracy. but look, if you clearly think about it, if you are well to do in the united states, you is exactly the same vote as someone who doesn't want to work, that is born illiterate. in america close to 50% of babies are born to twham are not married. and most of them are actually poor. what kind of e what kind of education these people will get? you have to ask yourself. they have the same vote than someone who has, say, influence, and affluence and has worked very hard all his life. these guys who worked very hard to say to themselves has the system is cheating us. we're going to cheat the system, as well. i guess that's one view. o what's happening. it's a complex issue. we're at 50% of the people here do not pay taxes. now if you're at 50% and yet those same 50% will write in and call people that make more than $250,000, that they're getting a free ride and that they're — working very hard is one thing. getting money back because of investments you've inherit sudden another. i mean, there's all kinds of reasons that people wind up in good positions and not so great positions. mark, you've laid out a very good argument for making sure that we have strong public education. to make sure everyone receives a strong education. what i really wanted to say is the tragedy is that the system has become dysfunctional. and the other day cnbc interviewed mike steinhart. he said it exactly the way it is. he said we're not living in the america that america used to be. some think changed along the way. and everybody wants to rip off the system. and that leads then to essentially and has also been encouraged by money printing. but basically the well-to-do people in america, they benefit from money printing, as well as elsewhere in the world because they can shift their assets overseas. the ordinary man doesn't have that potential. that's true. and hence the disparity that continues to increase and the class warfare and the disenfranchisement that is increasing, as well.

|Pikmin 4: Growth
|WiiU, NX, Visus Sphere
|1-4 Player
|Age Rating(s)
|Adventure, Dungeoneering, Action, Exploration
|Pikmin 3
like its predecessors, Pikmin 4 has a Day & Night Cycle, however due to the new breed of Pikmin, the player is able to venture at night now, although they will not be able to access the same areas in each time frame.
Pikmin Species
Red Pikmin
Like the previous games, Red Pikmin are a returning species of Pikmin that appear in Pikmin 4. They once again are the first species of Pikmin met in the game, as Alph finds them in the Red Mountain Pass. They retain their resistance to fire and have a long nose like before and additionally can be used to absorb fire from something or ignite something.
Yellow Pikmin
As with Red & Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin also return in Pikmin 4. They are the first species met by Charlie who finds them in the Overgrown Swamp. They once again have a resistance to electricity and are able to redirect current from one circuit to another. They also continue to have their ability to perform high jumps allowing them to reach areas most other Pikmin cannot. They also still have their large ears.
Blue Pikmin
As with Red & Yellow Pikmin, Blue Pikmin also return in Pikmin 4. They are the first species met by Brittany who finds them in the Greatwood Trunk. They are able to swim like in previous games and now have a resistance to wind currents as well as Ice based attacks. They also appear to be slightly more aquatic in appearance with webbing between their arms and their body, they also retain their mouths.
White Pikmin
Making their return from Pikmin 2, White Pikmin are the Pikmin capable to resisting Poison based attacks and are the first Pikmin the player can find that are able to be used at night as well as day. They retain their Red coloured eyes and small size in comparison to other Pikmin, they are the weakest species in the game now as well.
Winged Pikmin
Another returning species, the Winged Pikmin from Pikmin 3 make a reappearance in this game as a day only species like the core 3. Winged Pikmin are shown to now be larger than White Pikmin but smaller than the other Pikmin species. They still retain their Blue Eyes, Pink colouration & Insect-like Wings. Interestingly they appear to have very small secondary wings below their original set, indicating that like the Blue Pikmin, this may be a new sub-species.
Indigo Pikmin
(Not to be confused with Purple Pikmin) Indigo Pikmin are one of the four new species of Pikmin introduced in Pikmin 4. Indigo Pikmin are luminescent, meaning that they will glow in dark places. They are the only Night-Exclusive Pikmin and will stay in their Onion during the day. Indigo Pikmin help the player by lighting the path and being able to generate a very small electrical charge capable of powering up other lighting devices. They are also the strongest Pikmin in battle even more so than Purple Pikmin. They appear similar to regular Pikmin with the exception that they have two stems as opposed to one and have a spotted complexion to their skin.
Maroon Pikmin
Maroon Pikmin are another species introduced in Pikmin 4. Maroon Pikmin are capable of camouflage, this allows them to sneak past sentries and some enemies. They are also extremely fast being able to outrun Bulblins making them optimal for item retrieval, they are however hindered by their low jumping ability and limited power. They appear to have distinguished eyebrows as well as three large stripes on their torso.
Gill Pikmin
Similar to Blue Pikmin, Gill Pikmin are Teal coloured Pikmin capable of swimming in water. Unlike their blue counterparts they are able to dive underneath the water and remain there for prolonged periods of time, this allows them to fetch items that are not normally accessible. Aside from their Teal colouration, Gill Pikmin also have Gills on their necks as well as clawed fingers.
Wooden Pikmin
Wooden Pikmin are the last Pikmin introduced in Pikmin 4, being elusive and hard to see. The Wooden Pikmin, as their name suggests are comprised of wood. They are able to grow and shrink being able to fit through tiny holes as well as create platforms, ladders & stairways for the player. They appear green & brown in colouration with two distinctive horns to their foreheads.
Like previous Pikmin games, there are many enemies the player will have to compete against to find treasure & other items. The list below is of every enemy, mini-boss & boss in Pikmin 4: Growth.

West Nile Virus detected in mosquitoes at Mayflower Park, Blythe
Mosquitoes in the area of Mayflower Park (Blythe) have tested positive for West Nile Virus. Thanks to an alert by health officials, prompt action to control the mosquito population is already underway. Campers and visitors in the area are urged to take extra precautions to prevent mosquito bites. West Nile Virus can spread to humans and animals through bites from mosquitoes that have fed on infected birds. The incubation period is three to 14 days with flu-like symptoms lasting three to six days.
Prevent infection with the following precautions:
• Avoid outdoor exposure between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, but keep in mind some mosquito species are daytime biters.
• When outdoors, wear long sleeves and long pants to prevent mosquito bites.
• When outdoors wear a mosquito repellant containing DEET (follow label instructions, especially for use on children). All strengths of DEET will repel mosquitoes, but higher concentrations will last longer.
Additional precautions throughout the community are also recommended:
• Eliminate mosquito-breeding sites around your home or business by removing standing water in potted plants, tires, and other containers.
• Stock permanent ponds with fish that eat mosquito larvae.
• Repair window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of the home.
For further information or to report a potential mosquito breeding source, please contact the Vector Control Program at (951) 766-9454.

Fainting and breathing problems while sleeping
Patient : What does it mean if you blackout during a nightmare? My boyfriend had a nightmare about his mom's death (she passed when he was a child) and he stopped breathing and fainted while asleep. He came to when I woke him up.
Symptoms: Breathing stopped, blackout for a few seconds
Doctor : Hello. Welcome to Ask The Doctor. I understand your concern. I would like to keep possibility of Obstructive Sleep A pnea or Cortical Seizures in case of your friend. He indeed requires MRI Brain, Sleep Study with EEG. The Sleep Study is considered as the only best test to diagnose sleep apnea. He should also get a cardiac evaluation and arterial blood gas analysis done. If it's just sleep apnea, he would require BIPAP in night time to prevent yourself from adverse effects of Sleep apnea syndrome particularly cardiac issues. If any abnormality is found in MRI or EEG, he would be treated accordingly. Share my opinion with your doctor, get him investigated and write to us with the reports again. I hope it helps. Stay Healthy

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Awesome unit. Got clearance but was still in great shape. Got shipped with the wrong harness but Crutchfield shipped out the correct one very quickly. Overall an awesome unit.
Pros: Pretty much every option you can imagine. Plenty of inputs.
Cons: I haven't had an aftermarket GPS unit since the pioneer D3, it takes some time to learn the functions. But that isn't the units fault.
