State comes through with affordable housing funding for Millport Apartments
New Canaan — The town's push for more affordable housing units at Millport Apartments recently received state support.
The town will receive $5.1 million in state funding for affordable housing, according to a statement from the office of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
The funding, part of a statewide $55 million in loans and grants, will be used in phase two of New Canaan Housing Authority's redevelopment of Millport Apartments, where the first phase of 33 new units is wrapping up. Phase two will see an additional 40 units at Millport.
According to New Canaan Housing Authority Chairman Scott Hobbs, the timing of the two projects is very important, and without the $5.1 million from the state, phase two may have been delayed.
"It's a critical element of financing for this next phase. It's important that we got the money when we did because we want to move right from phase one to phase two," Hobbs said.
If phase two of the project was to be delayed, Hobbs has said it could cause costs to skyrocket.
"One of the most expensive parts about any development is moving tenants. And if you can imagine, trying to move tenants in New Canaan and paying their rent — market rent for a year, year-and-a-half while the process goes on — can add hundreds of thousands of dollars to a project," Hobbs said at a Sept. 21 meeting of the Town Council, during which the town appropriated $190,000 to help with the completion of phase one.
With phase two coming on the heels of phase one, tenants living in at the top of the hill in Millport Apartments — where phase two building will take place — could be moved into the recently completed phase one units at the bottom of the hill.
"We're really excited to get our grant from the state. This is very important and it will allow us to move forward," Hobbs said.
According to Malloy's news release, the $55 million will help fund 13 affordable housing units in 11 municipalities across the state, including two projects in Norwalk and one in Stamford.
"Under Gov. Malloy's leadership, we have spearheaded the rapid creation and redevelopment of affordable housing across the state," Department of Housing Commissioner Evonne Klein said in the release. "Ensuring access to quality, safe and affordable housing for Connecticut residents is good for the economy, good for local businesses, and it adds vibrancy to our communities."

Eight fire crews called to blaze at riverside property
PUBLISHED: 16:26 14 February 2019 | UPDATED: 16:26 14 February 2019
Eight fire crews, police and ambulance were called to a fire at a residential property in Norwich.
Emergency services were called to River Heights on Wherry Road in Norwich just after 9.50pm on Wednesday night.
At one point there were eight crews, including the aerial ladder platform, sent by Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service.
Police were also called and attended, though the incident was dealt with by the fire service.
An ambulance was also called.
On the fire service incident log, it says "crews provided trauma care for a casualty at the premises", but that the fire had been extinguished before their arrival.
We have contacted the ambulance service for more information.

When will enough be enough for the American electorate regarding their president?
I am not talking about waiting for the results of the Mueller Russia investigation and President Donald Trump's ties to Russia. I am not talking about the many associated indictments against some of Trump's closest confidants.
What I am talking about is the obliteration of American values by this president both prior to and subsequent to his Electoral College victory in the 2016 presidential election. I am also talking about our expectation of a day's work for a day's pay by an individual who was so unexpectedly given the opportunity to serve as the president of the United States.
Some jobs require more attention than others while most jobs require more thought than others. Some jobs require more effort than others. Some jobs require more dedication than others. However, no job requires all of these aspects to the extent that does the office of president of the United States not, while Trump resides in the White House, anyway.
Trump famously took former President Barack Obama to task for playing too much golf while being president. Laughable now that Trump has played three times the amount of golf while serving as president than did his predecessor.
He has also far exceeded the number of executive orders issued than issued by his predecessor for which he also took Obama to task, but I digress. Back to topic: the laziness of the long distance president.
Not too long ago there was an uproar about a leak of the president's schedule loaded with "executive time," a.k.a. "playtime" for those in kindergarten, an uproar that leaves me a little baffled. There was no need for a leak.
As reporters, we receive the Daily Guidance and Press Schedule every day and the Daily Guidance and Press Schedule issued by the White House for, just as a recent example, Wednesday, March 27, 2019, below, is fairly consistent with the schedules issued throughout the last several months. It is reflective of just how little time this president spends daily on leading this country to overcome the so many challenges it faces.
In Trump's daily guidance and press schedule for March 27, 2019, after the In-House Poll Call time, he only had lunch with the vice president in the dining room and held a Medal of Honor presentation in the East Room followed by an open press session.
Quite a full schedule, don't you think? This schedule does not even include the daily intelligence briefing which, apparently, no longer makes it onto his schedule — great job to hold. Starting the work day at 12:30 provides plenty of time to coif his golden locks and contemplate the day's activities from his tanning bed.
Granted, preparing for the Medal of Honor ceremony will take some serious preparation: how does someone who had five deferments, including deferments for bone spurs, pull off honoring a true American hero with any credibility? Now that I think of it, if anyone can, it is Trump. Conning America is his specialty.
Then, again, maybe, just maybe he is spending his executive time considering how to address our decaying infrastructure, or how to come up with that "big, beautiful healthcare" plan he so often has promised as he continues his efforts to dismantle Obamacare.
Maybe he has given a great deal of thought as to how to address the self-inflicted crises created at the southern border like the separation of children and their parents resulting from his zero-tolerance policy. Now that the policy has been discontinued, maybe he is considering addressing reunification.
Maybe he spends some of that free time thinking about how best to address the epidemic of mass shootings which, by the way, are consistently perpetrated by homegrown white males, not immigrants seeking asylum at the border.
Maybe he is not bothering to give any of these issues serious consideration during the executive time because he does his best thinking during golf time.
Maybe it is during the numerous golf outings that he gives thought to leading this country to address these problems.
Remember, in his own words; it is he alone who can solve these problems. Who needs advisers when you know everything there is to know about everything?
Now back to reality. The myriad of issues this country currently faces are not going to be easily addressed and indeed not any time soon as long as this conman sits in the Oval Office of the White House.
The top one-tenth of one percent of the wealthiest Americans account for as much wealth as the bottom ninety percent of Americans.
As a matter of fact, worldwide, the twenty-six wealthiest individuals account for as much wealth as the bottom 3.8 billion people or half the world's population. Is there really anyone who expects income inequality in this country to be addressed with a tax break that actually does benefit the ever-shrinking middle class as long as Trump and his Republican enablers have control? Have any of you noticed a difference in the amount of your tax refund this year versus last year?
Not too long ago, Trump told his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, "not to bother" with press briefings. His tweet: The reason Sarah Sanders does not go to the "podium" much anymore is that the press covers her so rudely & inaccurately, in particular, certain members of the press. I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway! Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!
She certainly has taken her president's suggestion seriously since there have been precisely three "daily" press briefings in the Brady Press Room since the beginning of January.
The last one was some 44 days ago, a new record for going without an official press briefing. That record, of course, broke the previous record of 42 days established in March by that same press secretary. Similar to Tiger Woods completing the "Tiger Slam"….twice, I guess.
On the one hand, not having Huckabee Sanders brief the press will drastically reduce the amount of inaccurate and misleading information emanating from the White House.
As part of the recently released Mueller Report, Sanders is cited as admitting under oath to Mueller's investigators that she made false statements to the press after Trump fired FBI Director James B. Comey in May 2017.
Sanders told Mueller that her comment that "countless" FBI employees had told her they supported the president's decision was "a slip of the tongue." She also said a second utterance in which she said that Trump and "the rest of the FBI" had lost confidence in Comey was made "in the heat of the moment." Mueller's report concluded that her comments were "not founded on anything." As someone who sat in the press room when she was asked to name anyone from the FBI who contacted her and she could not, it was not a very well-kept secret that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is not a credible voice of the White House. Never was, never will be.
However, on the other hand, eliminating daily press briefings is an easy way to avoid responding to questions dealing with the real issues we face as a nation and the absence of any comprehensive plans to deal with those challenges regardless of credibility issues. Getting information on the record is important for the American people.
Back to Trump's work ethic, maybe the most revealing clue to the lack of a work ethic with this president is his empty desk…literally, an empty desk.
What job utilizes a desk that has nothing on it? You know, inbox, outbox, that sort of thing. There is nothing on his desk. Apparently, when there is nothing that captures one's interest to read, assuming one is capable of reading in the first place, there is no need to have any documents on the president's desk. Of concern is the reality that this president is not interested in or curious about reading the information prior to arriving at his shoot from the hip conclusions.
THAT is pretty scary and should be of concern to every American. Try to remember this come November 2020.

My boys are all growing up so fast! I need to journal about each one of them, and I decided to start with Tanner.
Tanner is the sweetest boy you would ever meet. He has such a tender heart. He was born with an inner desire to do good. His preschool teacher told me that he is friends with everyone in his class. She said that he tries to include everyone. I love that he is so kind!
Hayden is in love with Tanner. They have one on one time on Tuesday and Thursday, and they love it! Hayden will just follow Tanner around all day, and Tanner doesn't even mind. He helps Hayden, plays with him, and makes him feel so special.
Tanner holds KJ at least 20 times a day. Most of the time he picks him up by himself and scares Mommy to death. He LOVES Kace! He protects him from Hayden's craziness. Kace will see Tanner, and start to smile. It's really cute.
You know who else loves Tanner? Mckenna. Anytime we go to a play place, she has a hold of his hand. It is the cutest thing ever! He helps her through the tunnels, and down the slides. She is in love with my Tanner Goose!
We have been talking with the boys about talents lately, and how we have to use them for good. Tanner has so many talents. One day we were just talking, and Tanner asked if we could name all of his talents. We got past 10, and he had a huge grin on his face. He thought that was pretty cool. Some of the things we named were gymnastics, basketball, helping his brothers, being kind to everyone, drawing, reading, cooking with Mom, making Kace smile, and the list went on and on! He really is such a good boy.
Tanner has a tumbling class in preschool that he goes to once a week. I knew he was really good at it, because he would practice his cartwheels and round offs at home. One day out of nowhere he did a back flip onto the couch. So when I got a phone call from the head coach of the gymnastics program, I wasn't too surprised. He called and told me that Tanner had done two back handsprings by himself in class that day, and he wanted to offer him a gymnastics scholarship. He gets to take classes twice a week for 2 hours, for free! The class is mostly older kids, so he gets a little intimidated. He keeps saying he doesn't want to do it because he is scared. I hope we can lovingly convince him to keep at it! TJ and I joke that when he is 18, and 6'7, nobody will be offering him a gymnastics scholarship! :)
Lately Tanner wants to read all by himself just like Carter does. He will pick up a book and sound out words all by himself. He is so smart! Hopefully by the time summer is over we will have him reading like his big brother.
Tanner will eat anything! And he is proud of it! He always says, hey Mom, I eat everything huh? And then he will say, except for tomatoes, and broccoli. But for real, I will put a plate of dinner in front of him, and he will eat it. He likes everything I make! I love it! He not only likes everything, he eats a ton of food! He is going to be a big boy! How am I ever going to keep four huge boys fed when they are teenagers!?!?
Tanner loves the men in his life. His favorite thing to do is anything with Dad. Grandpa Perry is one of his bestest friends. He loves his Uncles too. He could hang out and tell stories with Andy for days. He will mention how he misses Papa Wee too. He loves his Grandpa's!
Tanner loves listening to music on my ipod. He actually asked me the other day if he could get an ipod for his birthday! He's 5! Ipod's already! But honestly, he walks around the house with his "ear things" in and belts out songs from Shrek the Musical, The Music Man, Bandito, Crazy for You, Tarzan, and the list goes on!
I could go on and on about Tanner all day! He is such a special boy. He is always trying to choose the right, and be helpful. I'm so grateful that I have him as an example to his cousins, and to me. I love his beautiful brown eyes, and his handsome smile.
I love you Tanner!

Game Overview
Bethesda's latest title is ambitious if nothing else. It contains elements from most game genres in moderate amounts, and it bravely attempts to blend them all into one satisfying whole. There's even something approaching a decent story line in there, with the hero of the tale in constant pursuit of his father whose whereabouts are unknown, though several clues are given at the beginning of the game as to where he might be.
In the midst of all this melodramatic nonsense you are asked to choose a country to which you are loyal. Given the choice of countries to which you can offer your loyalty (England, France or Spain), the decision is hardly a difficult one. Off you go then, to sail the seven seas in the name of England, trading goods from one town to another, battling pirates, solving quests and working your way up the ladder of respectability, buying bigger and better ships as you go along.
Almost Great
As a basis for an entertaining game, it's not a particularly bad one - depending, of course, on how each part of the great gameplan is executed. However, as is the case with most games that try to do everything, Sea Dogs works well in some areas and not so well in others.
Graphically, Sea Dogs is fairly impressive. Highly detailed characters and environments make for a reasonably convincing atmosphere, and the towns on the mainland, though sparsely populated, serve their purpose in creating an atmospheric background to your dealings while on shore leave. Each town has a store where you can buy goods to trade abroad, a tavern where you can hear the latest gossip and recruit crew members, a shipyard for repairing and upgrading your ship, and a town hall, which often provides quest information.
Talking to the townsfolk will sometimes lead you to a quest, which usually involves escorting someone or taking an item to somebody in a neighbouring town. The throwaway nature of the quests is perhaps the first indication that the game's many and diverse influences are simply placeholders to keep you mildly occupied until you take to the seas and enter into battle.
There is also a role-playing element. Solving quests and defeating enemies will give you experience. Gain enough experience and you go up in rank, so you can then buy bigger, better and faster ships (of which there are 20). You also get skill points which you can award to certain areas to improve your performance. The time you spend on the mainland pottering about with all these things is moderately engrossing, if a little meandering. Thankfully, the sea battles lift the game out of mediocrity.
Boarding School
Your first objective when you leave a town and board your ship is naturally to find somewhere to go. You cot/Wjust sit there admiring the waves as they splash against your ship, but it would not make for scintillating gameplay. As it happens, the alternative is much better. Set your sights on the nearest town on the map and off you go, only to be interrupted every two seconds by a message explaining there are some ships in sight, and eventually with the info that someone is attempting to end your career before it's even started. In other words, they are trying to kill you.
Cue battle screen, which looks quite impressive to start with until you realise ship combat is actually quite a difficult thing to pull off. You can switch to first-person mode to target enemy ships and walk around your ship, but this is so awkward you will quickly find yourself switching to third-person view, which is less awkward but still tricky. Taking on the forts that guard the islands is trickier still, especially at the start when your ship is as good as a rubber dinghy against the Bismark. Thankfully, once a decent ship and crew are yours and experience points are withdrawn from the memory bank, it all becomes second nature, thanks to a good interface and an emphasis on positioning, rather than speed and firepower.
Eventually, of course, a victor emerges and if both sides agree (one rather more reluctantly), boarding commences. The two captains face off in a beat 'em up fashion and, depending on who has the biggest and baddest crew and the deftest fingers, one will emerge victorious.
Seem Familiar?
Those of you with a history of playing PC games will realise Sea Dogs seems like a direct rip-off of Sid Meier's ancient Pirates, and you know, you'd be right. Thing is, apart from the poor 2D effort from Microids some time ago (Corsairs, I believe it was called) and Eidos' slightly better Cutthroats, pirate games are few in number, which is a shame because we've always enjoyed the concept.
Nothing quite beats an Errol Flynn movie on a Sunday afternoon and, like watching Where Eagles Dare or Star Wars, nothing beats playing a game set in the same world. Needless to say, after 90 minutes of The Sea Hawk, Sea Dogs fits the bill quite nicely.
Whether you see Sea Dogs as a Pirates tribute or indeed an fWe-style RPG for land lubbers, the fact remains that while the boarding actions are too symbolic to feel authentic and the 3D wandering in towns fairly tedious, the RPG 'levelling up', ship combat and level of graphical detail do make up for a lot.
Although certain elements of it may suggest so, Sea Dogs is not a game for the arcade freak. It demands effort and if you stay awake through the boring bits, the other aspects of it will make sure you put the hard graft in. Perhaps if the developers had put some of their own ideas into the game and tweaked a few things, we might have had a classic.

New Zealand's population has experienced its lowest growth for 11 years, new figures from Statistics New Zealand show.
The estimated resident population increased 0.7% in the year to the end of December 2011 to reach 4,422,700.
Natural increase, that is excess of births over deaths, was 31,400, the lowest for a December since 2005. International migrant departures exceeded arrivals, resulting in a net migration loss of 1,900.
'Consequently we are seeing the lowest population growth for a December year since 2000, when the population increased 0.6%,' said population statistics manager Andrea Blackburn.
New Zealand's population growth has fluctuated over the last 20 years. The highest growth for a December year was 1.9% in 2002, while the lowest was 0.6% in 2000. In the 20 years beginning 31 December 1991, the average annual growth was 1.2%.
'While natural increase has been a constant contributor to population growth over the last two decades, net international migration has fluctuated,' Blackburn added.
Natural increase, over the last 20 years, has remained relatively stable, averaging 30,900 each year. Net migration however, has been comparatively volatile. For a December year, the largest net migration gain was 38,200 in 2002, and the largest loss was 11,300 in 2000.
There were 7,000 fewer people unemployed in the December 2011 quarter, the latest data also shows. This saw the unemployment rate fall to 6.3% from 6.6% in the September quarter. There was an increase of 3,000 in the number of people employed, while the employment rate remained unchanged at 63.9%.
'We saw a steady employment rate because the increase in the number of people employed kept pace with the growing working age population. The employment rate has not changed for three consecutive quarters,' explained industry and labour statistics manager Diane Ramsay.
Part time employment rose 3% in the December quarter. In unadjusted terms, the largest annual increase in part time employment was in the education and training industry. In contrast, full time employment fell 0.8%.
'A sharp rise in male full time employment in the September quarter exaggerated the fall in full time employment this quarter. Although there was a fall over the December quarter, full time employment increased slightly over the year,' Ramsay said.
These changes in full time and part time employment were reflected in a fall in the hours worked. Both actual hours and usual hours worked fell by 1.4% and 0.9%, respectively. The fall in actual hours follows a September quarter peak in actual hours that was similar to that for male full time employment.
The number of people not in the labour force rose 11,000 in the December 2011 quarter. Compared with the December 2010 quarter, unadjusted figures showed the largest increases were in the 20 to 24 and 65 plus years age groups. These increases reflected a rise in the number of younger people choosing to study and an ageing population.

It was truly a royal idea, and worthy of the successors of Alexander, that of collecting together all the intellectual riches of the universe, and placing them at the disposal of studious men, who were desirous to use them for their improvement, and the advancement of science.
In order to conceive all the grandeur and munificence of such a creation, it is necessary to recall under what circumstance it was
undertaken, It should be remembered, that manuscripts were then extremely rare, and consequently of an exorbitant price ; that of the greater number of works there were but very few copies, and often one only, so that those who possessed, would not part with them easily, and scarcely allow copies even to be made. All the literary treasure of a family consisted often of one work only, and fewer families yet were in possession of such a heritage. Before the foundation of the libraries of Alexandria and Pergamos, there is no mention made of any considerable collections of books, except those of Pericles and Aristotle. In such a state of things, the inferior classes of society were deprived of all written instruction, and a poor man was able to acquire, except under very extraordinary circumstances, only a very limited degree of knowledge.
Under such circumstances, the establishment of a library, accessible to the public, was an act of philanthropy and liberality, above all eulogy. It was, at the same time, one of those happy creations that immortalize a reign - an epoch, and that concur to consolidate a dynasty ; for the good that they produce, and the gratitude they inspire, extend to the latest posterity. It does not belong to me to refer to the political advantages of which such an institution is the source ; besides, others have acquitted themselves of this task so well, as to leave nothing to desire on that subject.(Notably M. Matter, author of the History of the School at Alexandria, from whom we have borrowed the major part of the details we here furnish on that school)
But, to indicate, in brief, the influence that the foundation of public libraries must have exercised upon ancient civilization, it would be sufficient for me to say that it has been compared, very justly, to that which the art of printing has exerted on modern civilization.
Two of the lieutenants of Alexander appear to have conceived the same project about the same time, so that it is now very difficult to decide, to which of the two belongs the priority. One was Eumenes, governor of Pergamos and Mysia ; the other, Ptolomy Lagos, who had command of Egypt. At the death of the conqueror of Asia, the generals that he placed at the head of the provinces of his vast empire, shook off all dependence on the central government, and endeavored to consolidate their authority in every possible way. The greater number turned their attention entirely to arms, either to maintain their own government, or to invade those of their colleagues. The sovereigns of Alexandria and Pergamos were the only ones, amongst so many captains, who occupied themselves with the interests of commerce and arts, and it was about that time, that they laid the foundation of the first two public libraries. They took hold of the enterprise so actively, that they, and their immediate successors, within about a century, had gathered two hundred thousand volumes for the library at Pergamos, and six to seven hundred thousand for that at Alexandria. This last was divided into two parts, which were called the great and little library. The first contained nearly four hundred thousand volumes, and was located in the quarter named Bruchion, near the Museum and the palaces, and in the neighborhood of the port, where the grain ware houses were situated ; the second was in the temple of Serapis, or Serapium, situated in a distant quarter, nearer the center of the city.
It is not possible, from the above enumeration, to form an exact idea of the accumulated riches in these two great book depots ; for writers differ very much, when on the subject of estimating the volumes, or rolls of the ancients, compared with modern books. Some presume that the six hundred thousand Alexandrian volumes represent two hundred thousand of ours ; others one hundred and twenty thousand ; others ninety thousand. However it may be, literary collections of such magnitude were a wonderful and happy result under the circumstances. The kings of Egypt, and those of Pontus, felt perfectly, what eclat such institutions would throw upon their capitals and their names. At first, their efforts to collect works, excited a praiseworthy rivalry, but this subsequently degenerated into a contemptible jealousy, in some of their successors, which led the sovereigns of Alexandria to interdict the exportation of papyrus, so as to prevent their emulators of Pergamos from being able to make copies of manuscripts. This illiberal prohibition had a contrary effect than was expected, for it led to the invention of the paper of Pergamos, otherwise called parchment, the use of which became general, and displaced, advantageously, the bark of the papyrus. Nevertheless, the institute of Alexandria always preserved a great superiority over that of Pergamos ; it had especially a marked influence on medical studies, and merits, on that account, a particular notice on our part.

If there is a time of year when people feel the need to switch up their dining table it appears "for Christmas" is a popular deadline, say local furniture and interior designers alike.
"It's usually the only time of year where people come to me and say they have family coming in from out of town, or it's just a natural time of year for them to do a lot of entertaining and generally it's the dining room but also other main areas in the house on the main floor that they want to have spruced up in time for the holidays," says Anna Dhillon of Anna Dhillon Design.
The importance of the traditional formal dining room has diminished, says Dhillon.
Her clients prioritize designing the family room and breakfast room first.
"They're recognizing that those are the rooms that you're using regularly," she says.
For breakfast tables, Dhillon says, she does all kinds of things. Last year, a client opted for a table at counter height, with the children sitting in high chairs and the adults on stools, so it could also be used as prep surface for the kitchen and be pushed up against the wall to be used as a buffet table for entertaining.
As people are moving into smaller spaces in Vancouver, Dhillon says pieces like this that offer versatility are becoming increasingly popular and it's not reserved to dining tables.
Lately she's been doing a lot of upholstered coffee tables with built in storage.
"Something that I'm doing quite often for people with youngish children — and that's probably up until about age 11 or 12 — is doing upholstered pieces for coffee tables. So it might be a round cylinder, or it might be a square or it might be a rectangle but it's fully in leather or indoor outdoor fabric, something that has softness on all sides of it and that works really well because you don't have to worry about sharp corners or things rolling underneath," she says.
The materials people are choosing for their table tops is also changing, says Dhillon.
"It used to be in North America that we wanted everything to always look and feel new, whereas in Europe people would put marble on top for the table and not think twice about the rings and nicks on it, the patina — it was considered a beautiful thing. Now I'm finding people are interested in making that sacrifice (here). They're not necessarily looking for man-made stone but they're interested in going into real marble to get the look they want and appreciate the natural patina of it," she says.
Clients are favouring tables that have a story, says furniture designer Romney Shipway of Shipway Design, who recently "included" the family in a custom dining table he built for them.
"There's four members of the family," he says. "A mom, dad, son and daughter and I said here, you each take one of these sticks. Live with it for a month, take it to the beach and throw it in the water, stir spaghetti sauce, make it yours. The kids drew on theirs with crazy colours, the mother did some drawings of things she was into and I took those strips and inlaid them into the back of those legs, so it's like a little surprise."
Shipway is moving away from the concrete and wood combination found in many of his pieces.
"The number 1 principle behind my design is sustainability and low impact," he says. "Going back to pure wood fits my objectives."
Local furniture designer Nick Purcell says his low, nesting tables have found favour with people who are drawn to his minimalist, Danish-modern and Japanese-inspired design style and multi-functional furniture.
"They can be grouped together in the middle of the room or tuck under each other," he says. "It gives you two tiers for starters and interrupts that one big plane of wood (that a standard table provides)."

A common myth is that bariatric surgery for weight loss is "a quick fix." That couldn't be further from the truth.
The decision to undergo surgery at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend's nationally accredited bariatrics center is a thoughtful, multi-step process that can take up to a year to complete.
Ideal candidates are adults age 18 to 75 with a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 35, who have tried to lose weight other ways without success. Our patients also may not use any form of nicotine or marijuana.
The pros and cons of choosing surgery vary from person to person. Patients come to us seeking weight loss for a variety of reasons. Some hope that other medical problems, such as diabetes or joint pain, will resolve if they lose weight. Some have been advised to shed pounds before having other surgeries, such as a hip or knee replacement. Others simply want to be more active.
PeaceHealth's 12-year-old Surgery & Bariatrics program was created to help support successful weight loss after surgery. The program includes education, surgical services and support groups.
The program starts with a free informational seminar, in-person or online. Those who aren't sure that surgery is the right choice are encouraged to sign up to learn more. Participants at the in-person seminars also may ask questions of one of our providers and a patient coordinator. Applications are available after the seminar.
Patients with approved applications are scheduled to meet with a surgeon and our patient coordinator, who will explain requirements before surgery. They include a visit with our psychologist, dietitian and any other medical clearances. These requirements also may include a weight-loss goal, typically not more than 5 to 10 percent of excess weight.
Our surgeons, Dr. Colin MacColl and Dr. Jessica Folek, perform two different types of bariatric surgery. They are the most common types of bariatric surgery and have similar outcomes for weight loss. Both encourage weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach.
One type, called a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, or Bypass, uses surgical staples or a plastic band to create a small pouch at the top of the stomach. The pouch is then connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine, bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine.
In the second type, a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, or Sleeve, the stomach is stapled and divided vertically, removing more than 85 percent of the stomach pouch. The remaining pouch allows for regular digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Patients often choose one type of surgery over the other for a variety of medical and personal reasons. The seminar covers these in more detail. We encourage patients to learn as much as possible about these surgeries so they can make the best choice for their particular situation.
After surgery, we see our patients at least annually. Our goal is to support weight loss for life, so we offer patients various resources, including support groups and a post-operation class with our psychologist.
We hope to help educate our community about bariatric surgery and the options available. Our greatest joy is to see the success of our patients and the improved overall health of our community.
PeaceHealth, based in Vancouver, Wash., is a not-for-profit Catholic health system offering care to communities in Oregon, Washington and Alaska. For more ways to stay your healthiest www.peacehealth.org/healthyyou.

Spencer Hospital Offers Short-Stay Knee Replacement
Jul 22, 2019 01:41PM
By MED Magazine
Do you regularly experience knee pain and find your discomfort is limiting your activities? Chances are you've tried therapy and other non-invasive treatments, yet you're putting off surgery because the timing never seems right. Spencer Hospital's Short Stay Knee Replacement Program may be the right fit and right timing for you.
"As the term 'short stay' indicates, the patient's time in the hospital is quick," explained hospital surgery center director Matt Cooper. "Traditionally, a person who has knee replacement surgery will spend two to three days in the hospital. Currently under our short-stay program, the patient spends the night post-surgery in the hospital, yet on an outpatient basis, rather than under inpatient status. The care provided for a short-stay knee replacement patient is exactly the same as for all knee replacement patients, except all of the steps happen much quicker."
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andrew Pick explained, "A short-stay option is a good fit for a number of our patients. The decision of whether a patient is a short-stay candidate depends on the person's health status, commitment to rehabilitation, and often, the coverage provided under their insurance program. I like the short-stay program for many of my patients as often the accelerated program best meets their goals to quickly return to activities."
At Spencer Hospital, orthopedic surgeons Dr. Andrew Pick and Dr. Jason Hough of Northwest Iowa Bone, Joint & Sports Surgeons, and Dr. Alexander Pruitt of Orthopaedics, PC, all have performed short-stay knee replacement procedures. The physicians recommend that anyone experiencing chronic knee pain contact either office to schedule an evaluation to determine the best course of treatment for the individual.

When we come across the word ergonomic, usually office chairs, computer seating and standing desks are visualized as the word is majorly used for this kind of furniture. Yet, many people still have certain misconceptions regarding ergonomic furniture. As offices have grown busy and 24×7 working hours are observed in most of the office settings, ergonomics have gained more importance than ever before.
Let's have a look at the misconceptions regarding ergonomics & their truths.
Ergonomics is only for people who have developed injuries
One of the most common misconceptions regarding ergonomics is that only the injured require an ergonomic seating. It is true that the injured are the ones who mostly require ergonomic seating position and have developed awareness amongst people about using them; however it is not solely for those users. Proper ergonomics is essential for preventing the occurrence of injuries from wrist aches to eye strain.
Ergonomics is associated with people who work on computer all day
Although people engaged in computer jobs reach out for ergonomic products majorly, it is an important feature that can be observed by anyone right from children to the old-aged. Even writers, cooks, tailors, and other professionals who are involved in tasks that require them to be positioned in a constant posture for long hours must implement ergonomics in their day-to-day lives to improve working comfort and prevent unnecessary muscle strains.
Ergonomics is a costly & time consuming affair
Is it not better to invest in furniture setting that encourages employees to work with enthusiasm than the one that turns them off? While certain brands are priced on the higher side, you certainly have options in a vast price range that suits your requirements. The additional cost you bear is for the well-being of your health and increases the lifespan of your furniture.
Different people have different ergonomic needs
With so many body types across the world, there are so many ergonomic options. You need to browse for ergonomic chairs and desks that best suit to your specific needs. Ergonomic furniture has different adjustment features that make them compatible with a wide range of body types.

The bathroom could be called a private oasis. It is one of the most intimate parts of your home, a place not just for washing and cleaning, but also for relaxation of the body and the mind. Who doesn't love to unwind in a hot tub after a long day of work? However, your "SPA" time could be significantly less fun if all you're surrounded by is plain and boring white tile walls. Don't be afraid to experiment and create a unique atmosphere in your bathroom! DIY projects aren't just for kitchen…

Whitetail Deer hunting in Oklahoma is one the most sought after, exciting, free ranging big game animals in the world to pursue. Mature bucks are mostly nocturnal, extremely cagey, and make for a very challenging hunt. The hills and plains of western Oklahoma are famous for producing trophy class bucks and are home to one of the top five whitetail deer herds in the world. There are several factors specific to our areas which allow our bucks to grow and reach their genetic potential at maturity. These factors include a high buck to doe ratio, outstanding genetics, predators kept in check and fabulous habitat. The quality winter range is a great benefit to our deer herds as well, giving them the nutrition necessary to survive the sometimes-harsh Oklahoma winters. Along with these factors, the Oklahoma private lands have kept the hunting pressure low, giving our bucks an even better chance at reaching their genetic potential at maturity.
Our private ranch camps lie within the boundaries of western Oklahoma, which allows us easy access and the ability to hunt some of the best areas in Oklahoma for trophy whitetail deer. These ranches routinely produce bucks ranging from 150" to well over 170" gross, each year. Our season typically runs from the 1st of October thru the 15th of January, offering us a wide range of hunting opportunities, such as hunting bucks in their bachelor groups, bucks just coming out of velvet, pre-rut activity and hunting the rut itself. These reasons are why these areas are without a doubt, not only Oklahoma's finest trophy whitetail deer hunting areas, but also considered some of the best free ranging trophy whitetail deer hunting in the world.
Along with hunting in an area with superior genetics and low pressure (from both hunters and predators), another key to success in a trophy whitetail deer hunt is our preseason scouting. We keep game cameras out year around and forty-five to sixty days prior to our first hunt, we are glassing with high quality optics in the mornings and evenings, which always prove beneficial to our clients and contributes greatly to the odds of harvesting a trophy while on your hunt of a lifetime.
Our hunts take place in western Oklahoma's hills and plains country, with elevations around 800 feet and over 2,000 feet in many cases. You will be hunting timbered drainages, farm fields, breaky plains, and timber areas.
Your mornings will begin at 3:00 am, at which time your guides are already preparing for the day. We will all meet in the dining tent for a hearty breakfast; pack your lunch and discuss the plans for the day. After breakfast, still well before daylight, you and your guide will depart from camp and head up the trails for a full day of hunting. Once you reach your destination, we will spend most of the day glassing and locating bucks with binoculars and/or a spotting scope. Our time and efforts are focused on areas where we have historically found and recently located mature bucks in our scouting efforts. Once we spot your trophy game, we plan our stalk carefully and hike to a vantage point to where you can make your shot or simply wait for him to move in on us.
In summary, the rugged terrain is challenging. This is a slightly mentally and physically demanding hunt, one you will not need to start preparing for very long before your hunt dates. It is also very important to be familiar and proficient with your firearm because it is often necessary to shoot from an average of 300 yards. The rough terrain of western Oklahoma has more record class whitetail deer than any other part of Oklahoma and most of the country; in fact, this part of the state was ranked #5 in the nation for mature whitetail deer. This is without a doubt the hunt of a lifetime for that hunter who is looking for a true trophy class whitetail deer buck.

How often should I clean my rug?
Question: How often should I have my rug cleaned?
Answer: On a regular basis regardless of the visual appearance.
There are 3 main reasons to clean carpets and especially hand woven or hand knotted rugs.
1: Appearance, the main consideration when buying a Persian, Oriental or Turkish hand woven rug is the beauty that they bring with them.
The vibrant colours and intricate designs and patterns can be lost in the dust and debris that collect over time and the colours lose their vibrancy when smothered by dust.
2: Health, both your own and that of the rug. Like fitted carpets your rug will collect and hold onto the dust that filters through the air and settles on to the surface of your rug.
Over time this damaging debris including skin cells will be compacted deep within the fibre and simply vacuuming will not get it out. This will not only dull the colours but will act like an abrasive and cause premature wear, it also will become a good place for bugs to live and feed.
Like all filters the rug will reach saturation point and dust from the surface will easily become airborne as you walk over it or as heavier items are placed or dropped on it.
As the dust comes up from the rug back into the air, you will inadvertently breathe it in causing irritation.
3: Value, people buy and love rugs for many reasons and not always for the monetary value they can hold. Many rugs we deal with have a value much more precious to the owner than money.
Sentimental value is a major consideration, it can be a family heirloom or a present from a special person or even a memory from a trip or honeymoon.
So by having a regular cleaning cycle we can preserve and in a monetary situation increase the value of the rug.
Other reasons
If you keep animals, dogs or cats then a regular cleaning should take place at least once every 18 months to 24 months but preferably every 12 months.
Spills spots and accidents
Life is full of little accidents and should you find yourself in a position where you need to deal with a spillage spot or accident then first thing is not to panic!!
Blot up what you can with kitchen roll then use cold water to wet the area and blot that area.
A good professional rug cleaning company such as the Cambridge Rug Cleaning Company will provide you with an appropriate spotter to help with most of these small spots and small marks.
If you have a more serious spillage for example a red wine or tea or coffee stain then you can follow the above advice but they will need cleaning out of the rug before becoming a permanent problem.
If you have a body fluid issue then you will immediately need to call an experienced rug cleaning company. Urine needs to be washed out from the rug; once the stain begins to yellow often the problem becomes permanent.
Common Misconceptions
Some people view rugs in the same manner as carpet, this can be a fatal mistake for rugs for the following reason.
Wool as a fibre is very efficient at collecting and holding on to dust and debris.
Given that a good quality rug will contain between 400 up to 2000 knots per square inch compared to a high quality wool fitted carpet which will contain around 180 to 260 tufts per square inch, the ability a rug has to trap and hold more dirt is far greater.
I recommend that deep cleaning a rug should be carried out professionally between every 18 months and two years to keep it looking fresh and clean.

Dear St. Jude,
I come to you with a humble and sincere heart praying that you will provide me with a wonderful job that will more than take care of my financial needs, but will increase happiness and joy back to me. I pray that you will ask God to supply all of my needs through a new position for me.
Please consider my desperate plea, for I have almost given up all hope. I really need this job to take care of myself and my children and to be a great help to my parents. Please place me where i will fit in, be happy, and make every need disappear. These things I pray in Jesus' Holy Name, Amen.
Return to A Prayer for Hope

ACW #615 - Green Lantern
Action Comics Weekly #615 (Green Lantern)
Writer - Peter David
Pencils/Co-Plotter - Richard Howell
Inks - Arne Starr
Letters - Todd Klein
Colors - Anthony Tollin
Editor - Denny O'Neil
Let's address the elephant in the room... yes, Wild Dog is our cover-boy this week, and yes, we'll be starting a brand-new Wild Dog story arc this week! Happy Days are here again. Though, to stop us from getting too excited, yes, we're still getting Black Canary chapters.
This time out, we... well, don't build on much of anything that came before (outside of Arisia being a model). Hal's pseudo-lobotomy doesn't come up... which makes me wonder if this was a mandate from on high to "bury" that little spur, or just happenstance. Could go either way, I suppose.
Let's get to it!
We open with... great googly-moogly, is that supposed to be Arisia?! Looks like something out of a dollar-store ElfQuest knockoff! Yes folks, this is the start of the Richard Howell era. Welcome to the book, sir. Anyhoo, she zaps a Life Model Decoy with the "Hurican", Hi-Tech Industries' latest and greatest in personal self-defense! Ya see, we're at a Tech Expo, and this is one of Arisia's first legit modelling gigs!
While she shills, Hal wanders around the Expo Center... and walks past a brand-new Hand-Activated Electronic Safe. I wonder if that'll come into play later!
Back at Hi-Tech's Booth, a Huckster... hucksters, until being approached by a Lady in Red. She's referred to as "Veronica", and is evidently a rival inventor... or tech-merchant. After exchanging pleasantries she takes her leave, bumping right into our Hal on her way out. He is immediately taken with her beauty... because, he's Hal. Worth noting, however, we do not get a look at her face.
The Hi-Tech Huckster decides to attempt to "one up" Veronica by demonstrating his "Collapser"... an invention that isn't quite ready for prime-time. Before he can, however, a gaudily-dressed muscle man bursts on the scene! Hal rushes into a Phone Booth to change "Lantern Up". Nyuk nyuk.
Before he can intervene, another baddie shows up. They surround Arisia, and thankfully name one another. The baldie is called Siphon, and the belly-shirt wearing goof is called Castle. They're members of the "Freak Show"... and, for better or worse, we'll be getting to know them much better over the next few weeks.
Hal manages to snag Siphon in a construct cage. Castle rushes over to the next booth and grabs the spokesmodel for that Hand-Activated Super Safe. She immediately snap-mares him right on into the safe, and slams the door shut behind him!
Now, here's the trick. We call this dude "Castle" because his powers are not unlike "Castling" in Chess. And so, he "castles" with Hal... who now finds himself locked in the safe. And the kicker is, the inside of the safe is painted... yellow!
So, yeah... a far less, uh, "cerebral" Green Lantern story arc starts today. We meet some members of the Freak Show... we sorta meet Veronica... and Arisia is looking like dollar-store Dewshine.
See what I mean? Let's get the art out of the way. It's not that it's bad or anything... it's just not terribly pleasant, and quite jarring when compared with the work that's come before (Gil Kane/Tod Smith). Howell's going to be with us for a little while, so hopefully his style starts to grow on me. It never has in prior reads, but, you know what they always say, "Sixth Time's the Charm!".
Let's look at the Freaks... starting with our man, Castle. This fella strikes me as a "very Peter David" sort of villain... which isn't a bad thing. So, what's his power, and why is he called Castle? Well, click the pic below and it'll take you to some information on all'a that.
So, yeah... this is the direction Green Lantern will be headed in for the next several weeks. I'll be honest, for me this is the low-point of "Hal Jordan's Action Comics"... and was the absolute toughest slog to push through when putting together the Cosmic Treadmill series of ACW episodes. We'll take it as it comes, and try to remain positive.
Tomorrow: The Return of Blackhawk!
