CMS Extends Scrutiny Over Parkland Hospital
Dallas-based Parkland Health & Hospital system will have to be on alert for federal safety officials longer than planned.
The troubled hospital is nearing the end of a two-year corrective action plan for myriad quality and patient safety concerns that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services found in 2011. The federal agency was due to inspect the hospital for improvements by April 30, but on Wednesday the hospital announced that CMS would conduct its Medicare certification survey after that date.
In 2011, CMS placed Parkland under a systems improvement agreement (SIA), which means a hospital may continue to receive Medicare reimbursements as long as a third party is onsite to monitor and facilitate changes that need to be made.
The consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal has been working with Parkland to implement some 499 action items CMS deemed critical to the hospital keeping its Medicare certification, thus reimbursements. At Parkland's last board meeting on February 26, the hospital reported it had completed 484, or 97% of those recommendations.
Parkland still has to get that number up to 100% by April 30, but now that CMS has extended the time it will take to survey the hospital's changes, there's what CMS calls an "element of surprise" to the federal surveyors' arrival.

A Helpful Comparison
After I read the news of Yahoo!'s massive Tumblr acquisition, I had trouble wrapping my head around what a massive amount of money a billion dollars is, so I came up with this:
Picture an area the size of Rhode Island. Now picture, inside that, a football field full of Statues of Liberty. Stretching to the moon and back. A blue whale. Now picture a billion dollars.

A mosquito (say: mus- kee -toe) is an insect that is found all over the world. There are thousands of different kinds of mosquitoes in many different sizes and colors. The female mosquito needs blood from vertebrates (animals that have a spine) to lay eggs and produce more mosquitoes. She has a special part of her mouth that she uses to suck blood, and her saliva (spit) thins the blood so she can drink it. In fact, it's the mosquito's saliva that makes the bites itch!
A person who gets bitten by a mosquito will notice a round pink or red bump that itches a lot.
If you think you've been bitten by a mosquito, wash the bite with soap and water. Put on some calamine lotion to help stop the itching, or an adult can find an anti-itch cream at the drugstore for you. Placing an ice pack on the bite may also help. Tell an adult you've been bitten by a mosquito, especially if you live in the eastern United States.
It's very unusual for someone to have an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite. But if you develop an allergic reaction and feel dizzy or sick, tell an adult immediately. A doctor can treat allergic reactions with medicines.
The best way to avoid mosquito bites is to wear an insect repellent. Repellents that include one of these ingredients are best: DEET, lemon eucalyptus, or picaridin. Ask a parent to help you apply them.
Since mosquitoes lay their eggs in water, it's also a good idea to empty out buckets, flower pots, toys, and other things in your yard that may have collected water during a rainstorm. And when it's possible, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants to keep mosquitoes away from your skin.

What better way to end the year than to rant about the celebutards who topped my list in 2010? And if I could, this is what I would say to these particular folks if I ran into them say, at a celebrity charity event aimed at curing phobophobia:
To Justin Bieber:
Justin, great to meet such a, aahh, singing sensation. Quick question, did you buy your Flowbee or was it a gift?
To Mel Gibson:
Mel, Mel, Mel....I take it that on some subconscious level it never occurred to you that having a baby with a chick that looks just like Octomom could somehow get you embroiled in a kid related shitstorm?
To Tiger Woods and Jesse James:
Oh actually, I would prefer not to shake your hands. Hey, I was just curious if you guys have ever, uh, dated Real Dolls too?
To Kim Kardashian:
Sweetie, listen up. I have pulled out my calculator and determined you have now exceeded your 15 minutes of fame by 2,102,485.
To Chaz Bono (formerly known as Chastity Bono):
Ch-Ch-Chaaaaaaaz. Congratulations on your sex change! I was just wondering why you didn't go with the name Dick.
To Gavin Rossdale:
Dude, what a confession! Have you heard your teenage fling with a gay crossing dressing singer has inspired a No Doubt classic remix? Their new version is entitled: Oh I'm Just A Guy, Dressed Up Like A Girl.
To Charlie Sheen:
Psst, Charlie, come here. Have you heard about the white hot new fantasy hero script being shopped around Hollywood? It's called Teflonman and it's the story of an insane superhuman guy who keeps divorcing his wives after being caught with hookers while using copious amounts of illegal drugs, yet his career continues to thrive.....
To Eva Longoria:
Oh Eva, sorry to hear about your divorce. I bet you were real surprised too, since you know, NBA players are so notorious for their fidelity.
To Brett Farve:
Brett, you've probably taken a few conks to the head, huh? Here, take this piece of paper, it's a very simple little equation I put together from a female perspective. You might want to use before your next sext message:
schlong in hand + crocs on feet = ickypoo
To Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt:
Who are you people? And are you two capable of reproducing with each other?
To Al Gore:
Al. Can I call you Al? I've given it some thought and have concluded I'm not sure which is more depressing: that you got a divorce after 40 years of marriage or that people still think you invented the internet.
To Jeremy London:
Jeremy, what an ordeal! Listen, I can totally empathize with your tale of kidnappers who nabbed you just to force you to do drugs, because the same thing happened to me once too. Except my kidnappers forced me to go to Nordstrom's and spend $800 on a Marc Jacobs handbag for myself.
To Brad Cooper and Ryan Reynolds:
You know what? I have absolutely nothing bad to say. You guys are totally hot. Do whatever you want.

Sacramento State was led by sophomore guard Kim Sheehy, who scored 11 points on 3-of-7 shooting from behind the three-point line in 38 minutes on the floor.
Montana improves to 16-6 overall and still sits undefeated at the top of the Big Sky Conference with a league record of 9-0.
"I am really proud of our players for the way they executed a good game plan and stuck with it for 40 minutes," head coach Dan Muscatell said.
The game was decided in the final moments, when the Grizzlies held a 56-54 lead with 42 seconds remaining. Montana's Laura Cote missed a jump shot, but Jody McLeod grabbed the offensive rebound forcing Sacramento State to foul. McLeod made 1-of-2 free throw attempts to give the Hornets the opportunity to tie the game with six seconds left on the clock, but Sheehy's last-second three-pointer fell just short.
"In the end, the difference in the game was a little bit too much size under the basket and a little bit better free-throw shooting," Muscatell said.
Montana outrebounded Sacramento State, 43-33, including grabbing 18 offensive rebounds. At the free-throw line, the Grizzlies were 20-of-24 from the stripe and the Hornets were 10-of-15.
The game ended with eight ties and in the second half, the lead exchanged hands three times. Montana failed to score from the field in the last 2:30 of the game, but sunk four of its final six free-throw attempts. The Hornets also struggled with their shot late in the game, only scoring on 3-of-4 free-throw attempts after the 3:24 mark.
"The game was so back and forth," Muscatell said. "We had many chances to fold the tent and be satisfied that we had played well against Montana for a good length of time, but we answered all their runs."
Montana had two players finish in double figures, with McLeod scoring a game-high 19 points and adding 10 rebounds (five offensive). Also in double figures was Hollie Tyler with 16 points.
In the first half, Sacramento State had its biggest lead of the game, 23-17, with 7:21 remaining until the break. Sheehy and junior guard Cindy Alldrin each scored six points in the first 20 minutes, with Sheehy sinking both of her shots from behind the three-point line.
Montana finished the half on 11-6 run, but the Hornets maintained the halftime lead, 29-28. In the second half there were four ties in the first eight minutes, with Sacramento State taking their biggest lead of the half at 41-38 with 10:32 to go on Sheehy's third three-pointer of the game. Sheehy now has 40 three-pointers on the season, ranking ninth all-time in Hornet history.
Montana responded by building a 51-46 lead with 3:50 to go behind five points from McLeod on three-consecutive possessions. But Sacramento State responded with a three-pointer from Alldrin and a steal and breakaway lay-up from senior guard Tyeisha Brown to tie the game at 51-51. Alldrin finished the game with nine points and a team-high four assists, while Brown ended her night with six points and three steals. The Vallejo, Calif., native now has 59 steals this season, tying her for eighth all-time in a single season. Sophomore guard Stephanie Cherry added nine points and six rebounds, while junior forward Lindsey Heard scored seven points and led the team in rebounds with eight.
Sacramento State plays its final road game of the regular season on Saturday night at 6:05 p.m. against Montana State at Worthington Arena. The Bobcats are currently 7-15 on the season and 1-8 in conference.

The Old Testament teaches life after death, and that all people went to a place of conscious existence called Sheol. The wicked were there (Psalm 9:17; 31:17; 49:14; Isaiah 5:14), and so were the righteous (Genesis 37:35; Job 14:13; Psalm 6:5; 16:10; 88:3; Isaiah 38:10).
The New Testament equivalent of Sheol is Hades. Prior to Christ's resurrection, Luke 16:19-31 shows Hades to be divided into two realms: a place of comfort where Lazarus was and a place of torment where the rich man was. The word hell in verse 23 is not "Gehenna" (place of eternal torment) but "Hades" (place of the dead). Lazarus's place of comfort is elsewhere called Paradise (Luke 23:43). Between these two districts of Hades is "a great gulf fixed" (Luke 16:26).
Jesus is described as having descended into Hades after His death (Acts 2:27, 31; cf. Ephesians 4:9). At the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it seems that the believers in Hades (i.e., the occupants of Paradise) were moved to another location. Now, Paradise is above rather than below (2 Corinthians 12:2-4).
Today, when a believer dies, he is "present with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:6-9). When an unbeliever dies, he follows the Old Testament unbelievers to Hades. At the final judgment, Hades will be emptied before the Great White Throne, where its occupants will be judged prior to entering the lake of fire (Revelation 20:13-15).

Imperial Sugar embraces `quiet period' myth

One of the oldest Texas businesses, dating to the days of the Republic, Imperial has battled lagging earnings and persistent production issues at its refineries.

what it's all about…
welcome to the looking glass… im heather. the quirky, only child, now married, obsessed with anything antique, cake designer from charlotte, north carolina. people often ask how i ended up running my own bakery… at 15 when i took a job at a local cake shop i NEVER dreamed that it would shape my future obsession or honestly, that i'd be any good at it. i somehow had the skill, the dreams, the attention to detail & the heart but deep down i just knew it was what i was made to do. God created me to do it! among other things of course…
i'm married to an incredibly gorgeous & talented man named Gil, we own a mini-rex bunny named Henry, we LOVE our city & our local church & well, life is good! i'm a stylist full time, i'm inspired by way TOO many things & am always up to something: like re-modeling our quaintly adorable townhouse, shopping for antiques, making my own clothes {did i mention i'm 6 feet tall?} cooking mostly vegetarian, reading about natural birth, health and wellness, watching endless episodes of FRIENDS {we own all 10 seasons on DVD} eating trader joes powerberries, searching for designer in thrift stores, drinking starbucks with my husband, or attempting to master crotcheting with my grandmother.
my idea is that everyone sees something different when they gaze into a "looking glass" and the theme that inspires my cakes will also inspire this blog. it's about many things… cakes, fashion, food, weddings, style, health, jesus, antiques, trinkets & also me, but each time you stop by i can guarantee you'll see something different.
hopefully keeping you curiouser and curiouser, just like alice.

Heather, you are fabulous! This blog is going to be fab too!
After reading this, I'm convinced we're long lost twins. Well, except I'm a whole foot short than you. Other than that? WAY too many similarities. I swear it's a Charlotte thing.
I knew your Grandmother, she was a great women, she was my Grandmother as well and I know that she loved you sooo and is so proud of all that you have done and all that you will do….you inspire!!! keep it up HG~~

Cooler than cool
Penguin Plungers take ice-cold dip for a cause
Sunday, March 9, 2008
If you go
What: Fifth annual Penguin Plunge, a benefit for Yampa Valley Medical Center
When: Saturday, March 29; registration deadline is Friday, March 21; sponsor registration deadline is Monday, March 17
Where: Lake Catamount Ranch and Club
Cost: Participants must collect at least $100 to jump into the pool; spectators get in free
Call: 871-2501
Steamboat Springs Jim McCreight, event co-chairman for the fifth annual Penguin Plunge, looks at the chilly swim as a rite of passage into spring.
"It's starting to warm up finally, and people are kind of getting tired of skiing. It's a chance for people to get together and do something crazy - which is jumping in cold water. That is crazy, I'll admit that," said McCreight, who has dressed up as Elvis for a previous plunge.
Put on by the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley as a benefit for emergency and intensive care patients at Yampa Valley Medical Center, the event has played host to groups of participants dressed as penguins, oil-dippers and characters from "The Wizard of Oz."
It's raised as much as $50,000 a year from participants who shake off fears and jump into a pool of 34-degree water at Lake Catamount Ranch and Club.
The plunge got its start when an emergency room worker suggested a need for a human patient simulator to help with training. It was an expensive purchase, and the Healthcare Foundation decided to create a fundraiser to finance it.
Why that event ended up involving cutting through ice with industrial chainsaws to get at a near-freezing swimming pool, no one remembers.
"We were talking about what could you do in the winter that would be unique and really attract people's attention," said Bonnie Bunker, associate director of development for the Healthcare Foundation.
"It takes weeks to make this happen - the ice is very, very thick. Sometimes we have to call in loggers with the big chainsaws. Sometimes the Sears-size chainsaws don't work," she said.
Vital need
Proceeds from this year's plunge will go toward purchasing bedside intensive vital sign monitoring equipment - a computer system that would allow emergency room workers to access and enter critical information. The equipment keeps track of vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels, then stores the data to establish trends in recurring patients.
"It will be very helpful for physicians knowing that information is there at the time," said Karl Gills, YVMC chief executive officer.
The price tag for the equipment is $167,000. Organizers said they would love to raise that amount at Penguin Plunge and encourage donations outside the event.
Since the event's first year, the Healthcare Foundation has focused Penguin Plunge fundraising on emergency care. Organizers said there's never a shortage of need and that emergency care has the most immediate impact on the most people.
"The hospital is the one institution in this community that has the potential to affect every member of this community and everyone that comes into this community," said Diane Tarnoff, Healthcare Foundation board chairwoman.
Tarnoff said YVMC is a nonprofit hospital, and pays for everything with hospital fees and philanthropy. The Healthcare Foundation works to boost the fundraising side of that equation.
"We're really putting a major push starting this year on more community exposure and more individual fundraising," Tarnoff said. "I think a lot of us can take for granted the sophistication and quality of health care we have in this small town."
McCreight said Penguin Plunge is a "win-win" for everyone involved, by providing a festive atmosphere and funding an institution everyone in the community has a use for.
"The reality is that we have a great hospital, and that's why this Penguin Plunge is so cool. It gives the community the chance to raise the money and give back," he said.
"I think it's pretty cool, actually. Literally."

DEPUTY premier Andrew Stoner has announced $1.27 million for the expansion of the Orange airport from the State Government.
The funds have come more than three months after the Federal Government committed to the project.
"Andrew Gee has been lobbying very hard for us to come up with the money and we have, but we had to go through that process that's why a little bit of extra time in delivering our commitment of the 1.27 million," Mr Stoner said, when questioned about the time it took for the money to come through.
What will the expansion entail? Read more in tomorrow's Central Western Daily.

Yoga Retreats Bring Vitality to Life
I never imagined being 6 months pregnant and teaching at a Yoga retreat in Costa Rica, but that is exactly where I found myself last June during our Yoga and Zumba® Fitness retreat. A consistent Yoga practice - during pregnancy or really at any stage in life – is very effective in keeping the body strong, healthy, and allowing one to maintain a lively lifestyle. During the retreat, I found I had enough energy each day to enjoy morning Zumba and instruct evening Yoga practice. I admit, I took naps some days while others went to explore Costa Rica, but then Yoga also teaches us to honor our bodies' needs.

Our world is increasingly complex and hurried, and because of this, too many people today are living lives below their natural potential. Rather than being in poor shape, in a lousy mood and frightened by every uncertainty, one can instead strengthen and purify the body, balance the emotions, and sharpen the mind to become more resilient, positive and happy. After all, what good is it to be alive if you cannot enjoy your days, even amidst such chaos and uncertainty as we find in the world today?

Posted by: Mark Marich on March 19, 2012 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
The latest Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity shows that the rate of new business creation dipped during 2011 and startup founders remained more likely to go it alone than to employ others—quite possibly due to the continued recession and the typically higher rate of necessity entrepreneurs during periods of economic distress.
The 2011 Index shows a 5.9 percent drop from 2010 with approximately 543,000 new businesses created each month during the year, or 0.32 percent of American adults per month in 2011. This remains among the highest levels of entrepreneurship over the past 16 years. The quarterly employer firm rate also remained essentially flat from 2010 to 2011 at 0.11 percent.
Geographically, entrepreneurial activity rates decreased in all U.S. regions except the Northeast, which experienced a slight increase. Rates remain highest in the West and lowest in the Midwest. Arizona had the highest entrepreneurial activity rate, with 520 per 100,000 adults creating businesses each month during 2011. Rounding out the top five highest rates were Texas (440 per 100,000 adults), California (440 per 100,000 adults), Colorado (420 per 100,000 adults) and Alaska, with 410 businesses started per 100,000 adults. The states with the lowest rates of entrepreneurial activity were West Virginia (150 per 100,000 adults), Pennsylvania (160 per 100,000 adults), Hawaii (180 per 100,000 adults), Illinois (200 per 100,000 adults), Indiana (200 per 100,000 adults) and Virginia (200 per 100,000 adults).
Other key findings for 2011 include:
"The Great Recession has pushed many individuals into business ownership due to high unemployment rates," said Robert Litan, vice president of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation. "However, economic uncertainty likely has made them more cautious, and they prefer to start sole proprietorships rather than more costly employer firms. This 'jobless entrepreneurship' trend negatively effects job creation and the larger economic recovery."
Interactive data spanning all 16 years is available at kauffman.org/kiea.

Anyone have tips on finding a good company/group for transportation from the ending town to the start town?
@MB you're always in early, always courteous without any type of tom foolery out on the road, why wouldn't you get a rider number, you're their model rider!

Genital herpes is an infection that is spread through sexual contact. It may cause skin blisters and sores in the genital area but often causes no visible symptoms. Some people may have only a single outbreak of herpes. Other people will have repeated outbreaks.
Herpes can be bothersome, but it usually doesn't cause serious problems in healthy adults.

We are very proud to be the exclusive company leading an instructional Wildlife Photography Workshop in conjunction with the Triple "D" Game Farm in Monument Valley during April 2012.
Imagine a Mountain Lion posing for your with the unbelievable Monument Valley landscape as a background. The sand dunes, buttes, grand arches and unique rock formations are internationally recognized as iconic symbols of the American West. For the first time ever, the Triple "D" Game Farm will be bringing a selection of their fantastic trained wildlife models to the Monument Valley during these special wildlife photography workshops.
Register early and join Outdoor Photography Canada's contributing editor, Paul Burwell, for a full featured wildlife photography workshop.
This unique venture will be held on Lorenz and Barbara Holiday's Moonlight Springs Ranch, ten miles west of Goulding's Lodge. Triple "D" has been granted the rare opportunity to base their operations on a traditional Navajo homestead and through our respected host and Navajo guides, Burwell School of Photography participants will have the chance to witness and experience the history, culture and challenges of the local residents.
Photography sites have been selected in various locations throughout Monument Valley to include Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park and Moonlight Springs Ranch. This includes back country locations which allow access only to those with a Navajo Nation guide. Some of the selected sites include spectacular stone arches, rocky outcrops using the "Mittens" or other monuments of archeological significance, and locations with cultural intrigue.
Tentative plans include the following species: Black Bear, Mountain Lions, Bobcat, Siberian Lynx, Coyote, Wolves, Grey Fox, Cross Fox, Red Fox, Badger and Porcupine with the possibility of a Grizzly Bear cub and a Tiger cub. Some additions or changes may be necessary prior to the workshop.
The objective is to offer the opportunity for participants to photograph the animals from Triple "D" in settings only common to the unique Monument Valley. Those images could never be obtained any other way.
Participants will be guaranteed eight photo sessions during the three day event with an option to attend additional sessions. The group size for each event will be limited to 12 photographers.
Monument Valley is a Navajo Tribal Park and located on the border of Utah and Arizona and all filming sites are within the 16 million-acre Navajo Reservation. Participants MUST plan quickly to reserve lodging or camping locations. It is also recommended participants make arrangements to travel to, and from, the various filming locations in a high clearance vehicle, with four wheel drive preferred. Goulding's Lodge and The View offer comfortable lodging and a restaurant and are both located at or near Monument Valley. Goulding's also offers a full service campground. Mexican Hat, UT and Kayenta, AZ are both within 25 miles of Monument Valley, and offer only a few hotels. Tourism begins to peak in April, and lodging is extremely limited, with no other options available to our clients. We strongly suggest lodging arrangements be made early.
Major air access is also limited with commutes required from various locations to include Salt Lake City, UT, Flagstaff, AZ or Phoenix, AZ. The "Four Corners" area is a photographers dream! While en route to Monument Valley, you are near so many breathtaking and unique parks and adventures to include Arches and Canyon Lands National Parks, the Grand Canyon, and numerous other scenic and historical byways, state parks and recreation sites.
Arrangements are being made with local Navajo families to conduct photography sessions of early morning mustang horse drives. This includes a herd of mustangs running toward the photographer accompanied by a Navajo wrangler(s) in local attire. Locations have been selected to highlight the glow of the soft early morning light against the spectacular rock formations and utilize the famous monuments as a background.
The Burwell School of Photography Mustang Roundup Event will be held April 13th 2012.
After the Mustang Roundup participants will travel with our Navajo guide to locations within the park and step back in time to photograph various Navajo exhibits to include the Hogan, or hexagon-shaped domed regarded as sanctuary for the family. Many families in the area still live without electricity or running water and embrace the traditions of the Navajo way of life to include rug making and weaving, tending of goats, sheep and other local live stock, bread making and open fire cooking or baking.
The cost is $700 to attend the Mustang Roundup and the Navajo Culture.
Participants will have the afternoon to enjoy the park or retreat to the motel to relax after four days of intense photography.
More, on the Moonlight Springs Ranch
Moonlight Springs Ranch is operated by our hosts, Lorenz and Barbara Holiday and is located approximately 10 miles from Goulding's or 15 miles from Monument Valley Tribal Park. Lorenz grew up in the area and from childhood was raised in the traditions of the Navajo way of life. As his guests, he offers us the opportunity to learn more about his culture. The Ranch provides many spectacular sites and offers views of various monuments throughout the valley. While at Moonlight Springs, it is not uncommon to see many wild mustangs roaming free.
The Triple "D" has also made arrangements with two professional Navajo guides to conduct escorted vehicle tours within Monument Valley Tribal Park. Our guides know the area and its history and will take clients to some of the most sought after, and remote areas. These tours will be conducted in the soft light of early morning or late afternoon depending on weather conditions.
The tour guide will provide transportation and participants can expect that a portion of their tour will include the restricted areas of the park, known as the "Back Country". The back country areas are only accessible with high clearance, four wheel drive vehicles. These tours are optional. Participants can reserve a tour the day prior to, or the day after, the wildlife photography sessions. Cost per participant is $125.00 per day.
The guided tour for participants in the Burwell School of Photography is scheduled for April 14th 2012.

this is a creative blend that works really really well…a mild, consistent flavor with some smoky and earthy notes and a slightly bitter after taste. the box i have also blends a bit of peppermint which is present in the taste too. since its bagged its really convenient to have on the go…i drink it on rainy monday mornings or when i really feel like an extra boost to face the day. the tulsi in the tea is quite calming which really complements the cerebral energy of yerba. good stuff!
Holy Mate
Experience the fusion of two ancient herbal traditions. Tulsi is India's "Queen of all Herbs." Yerba Mate is South America's "Gift from the Gods." While tulsi takes the weight off your shoulders, mate puts the spring in your step. We've combined them for a balanced supply of stress-free energy.

text: "A lot of agencies, especially traditional agencies, are still treating technology as a production function as opposed to a strategic function. When it comes to ideas that are either supported by or integrated with technology, the line between ideas and execution is much more blurred as opposed to in the traditional days where the line between concept and production was clear. You could base your production decision on cost and which director you can get. When it comes to software, you have to use it to be able to use it. Without a prototype, it's very difficult to understand what it's going to be like. A lot of times it takes iteration after iteration to be successful."

The UK's iconic home furnishings brand
Judges at this year's Chelsea Flower Show have awarded the Homebase Teenage Cancer Trust garden a prestigious gold medal.
The garden, which is designer and broadcaster Joe Swift's first Chelsea garden, draw cultural inspiration from Joe's local area of Hackney in London. He designed the garden to capture the power of plants and natural forms within urban and suburban environments.
Matthew Compton, Head of Trading for Garden and Seasonal at Homebase, said: "We are delighted that this wonderful garden and our hardworking team have been rewarded with a gold medal. We are hugely grateful to Joe for creating the garden with us and inspiring our everyday Homebase customers in such a beautiful setting. We are very excited about our new in-store Chelsea Collection - a special plant collection inspired by the garden, which comes with an easy-to-follow planting plan so that people can have a go at recreating the look."
Accepting the medal, Joe, said: "This is my first show garden at Chelsea Flower Show and the design inspiration was so personal to me, so I am immensely proud to receive this award. I would like to thank Homebase for their support during the design and build of the garden."
The Homebase Teenage Cancer Trust Garden attracted crowds of visitors on Monday having been officially opened by honorary Teenage Cancer Trust patron and The Who frontman, Roger Daltrey CBE. A group of former young cancer patients who met while being treated for cancer at the Royal Marsden, performed their own song, 'Look at me now', which they co-wrote about their journey and experiences.
The aim is to connect the garden and visitors through a series of 'views' with four large cedar wood frames creating snapshots. These views vary as you move around the garden and draw the eye through the long vistas of the garden, as well as playing a key role in dividing up the space into distinct 'rooms'. The combination of natural materials, water and plants invite the visitor to get close to and connect directly with the garden in an energising and original way.
Stone and wood provide texture and contrast, appearing in stylised forms. Oversized, horizintally sliced boulders and wooden sculptures decorate and punctutate the space, as well as providing seating from which to relax and enjoy the garden. The stone has all been sourced from a single quarry in Yorkshire, with many of the plants also coming from the UK.
The sustainable garden consists of trees such as stemmed Cornus Mas and Prunus 'Amber beauty' alongside a London Plane tree, which were all selected for their sculptural forms and the interesting colour and texture of their bark. Evergreen shrubby plants add solidity and a hint of Mediterranean to the dry planting palette, while textural foliage and perennials inject shots of colour throughout.
The warm colour tones of gold, orange, acid yellow and splashes of burgundy will bring the dark and mid greens of the gardens base foliage to life. Combined with the yellow stone, the garden will infuse a feeling of freshness and originality.
Gardeners will be able to recreate the magic of Chelsea at home this year using plant varieties inspired by Homebase's show garden. The Chelsea Collection is available in stores now and aims to inspire gardeners of all levels to re-create a bit of Chelsea magic, inspired by Joe's design and themes. All of the plants within the Chelsea Collection are covered by Homebase's five-year plant guarantee on hardy plants.
Simon Davies, Chief Executive of Teenage Cancer Trust, commented: "This is the first time that Teenage Cancer Trust has ever been part of the Chelsea Flower Show and we are very proud that Homebase invited us to be involved. The garden is an inspiring and stimulating space, a vision we also have when we build our specialist cancer units."
With an eye on sustainability, at the end of the show sculptures and large structures will be sold and proceeds will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust, the official charity partner of Homebase.

About Teenage Cancer Trust
Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to improving
the quality of life and chances of survival for the six young
people, aged between 13 and 24, diagnosed with cancer every day. We
build specialist units within NHS hospitals bringing young people
together to be treated by teenage cancer experts in a place
designed just for them. We want every young person with cancer to
have access to this specialist support, no matter where they
Traditionally treated alongside children or elderly patients at the end of their lives, young people can feel extremely isolated during treatment, some never meeting another young person with cancer. Being treated alongside others their own age can make a huge difference to their whole experience.
Teenage Cancer Trust also educates young people and health professionals about cancer to ensure a swift diagnosis and referral to specialist support. Cancer in young people is rare but we want young people to know the common signs and symptoms so they can seek medical advice if they are worried.
We rely solely on donations to fund our vital work. You can help transform the lives of young people with cancer. Visit www.teenagecancertrust.org to find out how.
We're happy to help with journalists' queries, so please use the link below to find the best source of help.
All filming/photography in our stores must be authorised in advance, so please complete this simple form at least five working days in advance and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Roadside Fugitive SR
SRサイタマノラッパー ロードサイドの逃亡者 (SR Saitamanorappa Rodosaido no Tobosha)
Sunday, July 22, 9:30 PM
U.S. Premiere
Introduction and Q&A with director Yu Irie
Dignity is demolished and dreams are dashed in Roadside Fugitive, the third installment in Yu Irie's 8000 Miles series. Two years after Ikku (Ryusuke Komakine), Tom (Shingo Mizusawa) and Mighty (Eita Okuno), formed the rap group Sho-gung in their hometown of Fukuya, Saitama Prefecture, it has disbanded and the members are off on another series of misadventures. Irie's goofy, misfit protagonists are finely drawn characters who amuse and endear themselves. Their failure to realize their dreams, or even to hold down a proper job, comes to stand for the punctured ambitions of Japan's so-called NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) generation.
Japan. 2011. 110 min. HD Cam, in Japanese with English subtitles. Directed by Yu Irie. With Eita Okuno, Ryusuke Komakine, Shingo Mizusawa, Jun Miho.
