A winter storm is bringing heavy snow and strong winds across the region overnight and into the morning hours. Many officials are asking people to avoid traveling if possible. Our Candace Hopkins was braving the elements for us and gave us an idea of what it looks like outside.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- All day Wednesday, Syracuse DPW crews were gearing up to battle the snow. Salt deliveries were made to ensure all city plows would be ready to go.
Inside the garage, crews worked to make last minute repairs, so the entire fleet could be out on the roads.
While it has been a long time since there was a snow event of this size, drivers are used to these kind of storms.
"We prepare the same year in and year out, so as far as anything different, it's normal business and we are prepared whether we get two inches of snow or two feet of snow," said Tom Simone, Syracuse Department of Public Works First Department Commissioner.
The good news is a lot of people are on vacation this week, so while travel may be slow, there should be less traffic than usual.

Very Scarce 17th C. Stuart Crystal Earrings
Rare and beautiful, this pair of very scarce Stuart crystal earrings is octagonal in shape and has the original gold cypher (initials), wire work and pink foiling which still remains with a rich pink color.
The clear rock crystal has been step cut and masterfully beveled to reflect the light. The crystal is set into a silver mount with rub over bezel and secured with small rub over claws. The back is a sculpted pillow of silver and has the addition of 14k yellow gold shepherd's hook. It is interesting to note that only the English crafted these fascinating memento mori Stuart crystals.
Measurements: 3/4 of an inch (1.8 cm) in length by 1/2 of an inch (1.3 cm) in width. Weight of 4.0 grams (2.6 dwt) for the pair.
Condition: Very good; light to medium wear to the rock crystal surface; each cypher is askew and turned in different directions; interior has slightly mottled red foiling; later modern 14k gold ear wires. A few claws rubbed and one missing but mount secure; an edge gap between crystal and silver. Wear to reverse silver. Generally very fine for their extreme age.
Date & Origin: Circa 1690 – 1740 and is English in origin.
Overall Scale: Small
Historical Notes: With the execution of Charles I in 1649, tokens of loyalty to the slain Stuart Monarch king were distributed and worn. Often covered with faceted rock crystal these amulets contained a lock of his hair, his image or his initials. Thus began a tradition of jewelry (rings, cufflinks, slides, pendants and earrings) no longer associated with the fallen monarch which became sentimental or memorial (memento mori) in nature.

Warren-Tricomi Protect Calming Serum
Based on 1 Review
CarolVAGreat But PriceyI love this product. It's easy to use, not greasy, smells good and has great results on hair with varying degrees of wetness. The only reason I don't buy it more often is because it's $$$ for the amount. (It's $17 retail) I have very frizzy/wavy hair and this is the best product I've used in years--results like a professional blowout.7 out of 8 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

(CNN) -- Chinese golf prodigy Guan Tianlang will have another chance to shine at a top professional tournament after being invited to play in a PGA Tour event in New Orleans next week.
The 14-year-old stunned the sporting world at last week's Masters when he not only made the halfway cut as the youngest player to ever enter the prestigious major, but also finished as the leading amateur.
He will line up at the Zurich Classic, whose title sponsor was also involved with the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship he won last year to qualify for Augusta.
"Guan's victory in Thailand in November and his historic achievement last week at Augusta National Golf Club are truly remarkable. We are excited to have him join us," Zurich CEO Martin Senn said Thursday.
Read: Jimenez - 'There's more to life than winning'
The tournament, won last year by Jason Dufner, is hosted by the Fore!Kids Foundation, which has raised almost $23 million for children since its inception in 1958.
"Guan represents the aspirations of millions of young golfers and golf fans of all ages worldwide," its CEO Steve Worthy said.
Dufner, who claimed the $1.15 million first prize last year when he beat Ernie Els in a playoff, is expected to defend his title in a field also including the South African, 2011 winner Bubba Watson, fellow major champion Keegan Bradley and world No. 3 Justin Rose.
Read: Guan gives taste of China's golfing ambition
Meanwhile, Sergio Garcia was off the pace after making a quick trans-Atlantic crossing to appear at his home Spanish Open.
The world No. 13, who tied for eighth at Augusta, was four shots behind the leaders after shooting par 72 in Thursday's opening round.
Compatriot Miguel Angel Jimenez, making his comeback after breaking a leg skiing last year, was in a tie for 112th after carding a rusty 76, to be in a group including former European Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal.
Veteran Chilean Felipe Aguilar shared the lead with 21-year-old Frenchman Gary Stal and Denmark's Morten Orum Madsen after they all shot 68.

Former F1 World Champion Mario Andretti believes that the creation of the Circuit of the Americas could serve as the catalyst for a boom in the sport in the USA.
The track in Austin is set to play host to a number of events but is purpose-built for Formula One and Andretti believes that giving F1 a new home in the United States is key to expanding its fan base.
"It's a long time coming to have a facility such as that which is able to host proper road racing," said Andretti told The Globe And Mail.
"We have lots of classic road racing courses in the U.S. and in Canada but, outside of Montreal, many of them just really haven't kept up with the times as far as standards for safety and infrastructure. And a road course part of an oval facility does not work, it does not draw and it does not have the ambience road racing fans look for. Now we have a place where we can showcase the top level of the sport - I think every F1 fan in North America should rejoice."
With a track now taken care of, Andretti feels that the next step to cracking further into the American market will be the presence of a local driver.
"If you can have your own guys flying their own flag in their country, it brings a lot more attention. It always plays well and the more buzz you can create, the better," he mused.

Tiffini Young doesn't mind those phone calls in the middle of the night when she gets up out of bed, dresses and drives to the hospital to meet a mother in labor.
"Even at 3 a.m.," Young said. "You do it because you love birth.
"What other moment in your life do you remember more vividly than the day your baby is born? And we get to be a part of that!"
Young is the newest certified nurse-midwife to join Mesa Midwives, a St. Mary's Hospital-based midwifery practice comprised also of Janet Grant, Cynthia Busker and Ruth Ann Price.
When Grant, Busker and Price added Young to the practice in January, they knew firsthand who they were getting. Young had already attended hundreds of births as a labor and delivery nurse at St. Mary's since 1999. Prior to St. Mary's, Young worked two years at St. Joseph's Hospital in Denver.
She had always wanted to be a midwife ever since Grant delivered Young's daughter - now 20.
Thus, after more than a dozen years as a labor and delivery nurse, Young returned to school to add certified midwife to her credentials. She graduated with a Master's degree from the University of Colorado in August 2011.
"Midwives are perfect for women that trust that birth is normal, and trust that their bodies intuitively know how to grow and birth a baby," Young said. "And those who aren't comfortable with their body or the birth process - we help them get there.
"Pregnancy and birth are not medical conditions. They are normal life processes."
Mesa Midwives partners with physicians at Women's Health Care of Western Colorado for high-risk pregnancies, such as when a woman develops insulin-dependent diabetes, or if triplets are discovered.
"We do twins, but not triplets - they're a little more complicated," Young said.
An initial prenatal visit with a midwife lasts an hour, compared to 20-30 minutes with a doctor. Subsequent prenatal check-ups with a midwife runs 20 minutes. If you're seeing a physician, return visits are about 10 minutes.
Midwives also differ in that they arrive at the hospital when a woman is in active labor; when her cervix is dilated to five or six centimeters. Doctors show up to catch the baby.
"As a general rule, doctors don't do labor support," Young said.
Labor support "is our specialty."
With Young by her side, Grand Junction resident Nelly Ruiz gave birth to a daughter Sept. 21. Ruiz wanted a natural birth, so Young reminded Ruiz to stay calm by focusing on her breath during the contractions.
"She helped me a lot. She was very supportive, helpful with everything," Ruiz said. "It was a really nice experience."
Ruiz's first child, born in Denver, was also attended by a midwife.
"I feel like they know what I'm going through. I'm more comfortable with them," Ruiz said of her reason for choosing midwifery care. "I can ask them anything. You bond with them."
In a summer 2012 newsletter, "Quickening," the American College of Nurse Midwives published a report "ACNM Benchmarking Project" that summarized data collected from 203 midwifery practices across the nation, including data from Mesa Midwives.
The report found an average cesarean delivery rate of 13.8 percent, and an average pre-term birth rate of 2.3 percent - well below the national averages of 32.8 percent and 11.99 percent, respectively.
Many women seek out midwives because they want to avoid unnecessary interventions such as continuous fetal monitoring of low-risk women, routine IVs, or epidural anesthesia, Young said.
Medication is available for those who want it. However, support is also there for women who prefer to give birth without drugs.
Young has delivered 100 babies since 2011; 50 since January; and she's attended "countless" births over the years as a labor and delivery nurse.
At 39, Young explained her career shift this way: "I love taking care of women and their families and I wanted to expand my practice to include taking care of women during their pregnancies and establishing that close relationship midwives have with their clients. As a labor nurse you meet only during labor and birth. You don't see them again."
Janet Grant paved the way for more women-centered care in Grand Junction 30 years ago when she founded Mesa Midwives. She caught her first baby Dec. 10, 1983.
In September, she ran into the young man at a Grateful Dead concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Golden.
At 61, Grant has no plans for retirement any time soon.
"Tiffini is the perfect choice (to add to our practice). She has new energy and ideas," Grant said. "We hope by offering our experience and goodwill, Mesa Midwives will continue to grow and the midwifery circle will continue."

Thanks for another great Weekly Marmot, Aliena! Always love watching your videos, and it's fun to hear how people started the game and wound up doing what they do.
I disagree with Verminoth. I actually think this video is good insight into how people choose the classes they play, and what they enjoy about the game. Not everything has to be completely predigested and spoonfed to be called "useful" you know. Sometimes is better to get the raw content/thoughts of an experienced player, and then let everyone make their own opinion.
There is plenty of discussion on the forums on content, theory, etc.
Thanks for another great Weekly Marmot, Aliena! Always love watching your videos, and it's fun to hear how people started the game and wound up doing what they do.
I have been playing a priest since vanilla. I think they are the best class in the game. I played holy for most of Lich but I just switched to disc for Icc. With websites like worldof logs disc priest healing can finally be appreciated for its raid healing potential Great post I enjoyed it very much.
Nice job as usual, Aliena. It was nice to watch, finally giving us a little insight on how your WoW mind ticks. Keep up the good work!
lol i love that part about bloodboil. That was hands down the most fun fight to heal in BC. I convinced a priest in my guild who was so anti coh to finally use it thanks to that fight. While the rest of the raid hated it including healers.. I absolutely loved it and shined during it. But ya the constant priest nerfing sux. I also picked up a priest in BC cause i wanted a blood elf rather then lvl my rogue from 60-70 I leveled a be Priest from 1-70. Good thing Blood Elfs own.
I didn't watch this all, obviously, but I got as far as the reason you started playing wow in summary (the first thing you said pretty much). "I got wow because my bf played".
I am willing to bet that 90% of the female community of wow, has this reason. I have no problem with this (in case you think I do), just mentioning what I have noticed. So guys, when you say "There are no girls in wow", there are, because you brought them all here.
to me, i have been playing priest since vanila, but did most of it in tbc and wotlk, i must say priest has changed over the years completly, in holy you are a good tank offhealer when needed in a certain phase, i just dont like disc because its a one target efficient healer... i think they could make it more usefull for the raid or able to heal 2 targets at the same time kinda like beacon from the palas, because if you want a tank healer your not gonna pick a priest over a pala since he heals the offtank also.
shadow is fun as it always was now with even bigger numbers and wicked fast casts ^^
but i have been since mid tbc playing holy and i wont change too soon even with the druids owning me 3k hps diference, i know someday blizz will bringback our recount destroying healing meters and right now im pretty satisfied
ps: CoH in tbc was so op that not even today i can deal as much heal per second, even with 5600gear score!
Man I started playing wow because EQ2 wouldn't play on Linux and my husband's brother got him to start playing. I was a female human paladin (because he wanted to play Alliance). He got mad I out leveled him while we worked, so he quit and then I quit. We both came back around the same time as blood elf hunters. Again, I got a guild, got him invited, out leveled him, he quit, then I quit. Then maybe 3 months later I came back ... August 2008 ... and leveled my hunter to 70 ... then 73 the first day of wrath. I moved on to leveling alts until January 10th 2009 when my hubby said "what's this refer a friend? I'll play with you." He hated horde and I could see him wanting to leave again, so I looked at the general forums one day to find "new server opening". So the morning of Saturday, January 17th 2009 around 2am, I showed my hubby the new server "Borean Tundra" and decided I'd play alliance with him. I decided to make a warlock and almost became server first. In the end he quit the game over the summer, I transferred my original paladin to the server (my Këona), got her to 80 and now my hubby is back, level 80 on his new warrior and my trusty off tank.
So yeah, originally my hubby brought me to wow and then I kept making him come back. It's going to stay that way too :P By the way, I love healing almost as much as tanking ... been working on my holy set and paladins are so more interesting to heal as than my 80 shaman. Next toon to level is a 37 holy (soon to be holy/disc) priest after I gear up my newest level 80 mage
Keep up the marmots, I love hearing from a fellow raiding female. I still can't believe for every 1 female in the gaming world is 10 single men. Strange statistics.
It's not even been a week and [You've Gone and Made a Mess (1 player)] of your little room. I like the marmot drawing though.
Actually it's a huge room and it's tidy, there's about 5 things on a glass table and the computers. =P
the only reason I made my priest was because of the the way PoM sounded. Of course I also enjoyed the way Lifebloom sounded (when it finished), but hands down imo a priest is greater than a druid, and that is why I have an 80 priest and only a lvl 31 druid lol.
Gluteas & Glutlolol. ;-D
For anyone who plays a priest, you have my respect. I honestly tried playing a priest, but gave up after level 5 since it was just so slow compared to other classes. I did take what I learned about kiting though, and right now I'm levelling a mage, which seems to be more gratifying.
I actually switched my main from resto druid to priest. As a tree, I could pump out a lot on the meters, and there was a lot of versatility, but I feel much stronger as a priest. With disc and holy asmy dualspec, I can comfortably fill either tank healing or raid healing while having new tools available to me when doing either. It keeps variety in there. I'm a holy priest first and foremost now, andI have to say I've never regretted switching from a tree. Renew is my filler spell, and it's gotten extremely strong. Using it along with all the procs, stacking and cooldowns that priest has available to it is MUUUUCH more enjoyable than standing around mainly mashing rejuv.
I dunno, but in general I beat out resto druids on meters anyway, so it's really win/win. I enjoy the variety and number of spells that holy priest has, and I can beat out resto druids to boot, except on fights where Blizzard has blatantly designed the damage for blanket rejuving (even then I can be REALLY close).
I see that you have your marmot up for the week Aliena, but is Lore not doing his this week. Checked youtube and the site and i dont see it.
He's putting it together atm from what I gathered.
Well, I started playing priest as shadow in tbc, but quickly changed to holy, which I seemed to enjoy more. Not going to change this any time soon.
Thanks for another Marmot
Up to this point Ive healed with every heal capable class except the druid. The class itself bored me so never got past lvl 25 jack of all trades master of none just made it a pain to stick with. Unfortunately my Priest healing days ended back in BC before the priest trees were changed so never got a taste for the OP CoH or PoH . In wrath the only classes Ive lvld that can heal are paladin & shaman. I have to say what I wouldn't give to be able to play my priest again when he had so much versatility as a healer. With my pally I get bored to being assigned to tank heals & spamming Holy light & with the shaman i get bored cause of his OP chain heal. nothing like the days with my priest back in vanilla & early BC. This latest post might get me to lvl my priest again after all I only lvld my shaman when the totem bar was introduced & wanted to check it out of curiosity. I wish I had continued playing & might have known what a OP priest healer was guess we'll have to wait for Cataclysm to see how the healer classes get changed.
Currently I enjoy playing my holy priest much more than my tank, but my Warrior tank being my main, takes all precedence over my playing another class regularly and I've not even had the chance to step into ICC yet on my healer.
My wife enjoys more alt leveling and doing 5mans than raiding and she just got a druid to 80 (her 4th) a few weeks back and while she wasn't around I decided to jump on her druid and try my hand at resto'ing heroics and pugging into some 10's to get her new character up to speed to start farming for frost badges and found that compared to my priest, healing on a druid is stupid easy. You can literally set the druid on auto-follow to another caster class, throw out some HoTs, and go make a sammich or watch YouTube and not be afraid of failing. As the Triumphs came rolling in and I started upgrading it only got easier from that point. It took me weeks of heroics and upgrading into Tier gear before i felt comfortable stepping into 10's on the priest but over the course of one day I went from heroics to 10mans on the druid without missing a beat and still not being what I would call decently geared at all. The one day of heroics helped me replace the quest greens with some decent epics but it wasn't like I went from quest/non-h blues into tier gear before I jumped into these raids. It's no wonder that every raid formed on my server tends to choose Resto Druids over Holy Priests when available, they're much more consistent and don't require that the healer be geared on par in order to heal the content.
Edited to add:
If you are very familiar with the raiding content a Resto Druid is a much more proactive healer than a Holy Priest by miles, the only way I find a Priest to be better is in the utility of dispels and instant group heals, which with the right player on the Druid pretty much cancels out the need for big instant group heals.

I love the work of Big Fish because they aren't afraid to be fun. They have their own kind of style which can truly differentiate them from a lot of other Brisbane designers. They work out of their Brisbane studio on a variety of projects: from Branding to Brochures to Web. The work these guys have produced is awesome and I love it!

Absolutely Ridiculous!! Number to call (417) 890 - 2078 Ask for Linda
Posted by
I just booked a hotel reservation online today. I realized there was a $24.99 fee for booking but thought that was how they would make money because they were getting me the hotel room at a lower rate. BIG MISTAKE! After making the reservation and contacting the hotel to confirm that it was accurate, I was told by a hotel worker they charge the same price per nite as Hotels-Rates.com but without the extra taxes and the 24.99 service fee. I ended up spending way more money. When I realized this I was outraged. I attempted to call the number on my itinerary that was listed for Hotels_Rates.com Well convenient for them, it was out of service. After a ton of investigating online, I found this number for a woman named Linda who claims to be a manager. Please call it if you have had similar experiences and let her know how dissatisfied you are. She seems to think that her and this company are doing nothing wrong but they are making thousands of dollars per day by ripping off innocent people like us. Here is the number (417)890-2078

trmn8r on 04/10/2011:
I wouldn't call long distance to tell this woman she is ripping people off, for the simple reason that her business seems to be built on that concept. In other words, I think she is aware.
This is helpful for others who might assume they are getting a good deal.
getoverit on 04/10/2011:
Why did you think that the $24.99 fee was going to get you a better rate? Did Hotels-Rates.com in some way represent that they would get you a better rate than if you booked directly?
Anonymous on 04/11/2011:
This is why you should do your homework and shop around various sites BEFORE you book. I don't see what this company did wrong. They offered you a service, you agreed, and paid for that service. If you find out AFTERWARDS that you could have saved money, well I see that's no one's fault but your own.
unhappy999 on 04/11/2011:
That's how they make their money, by charging more for the rooms. You're always better off booking travel arrangements directly than going through the third party sites that can't help you when you have a problem.
getoverit on 04/11/2011:
I don't know unhappy. Sometimes (definitely not always) you can get better rates from a travel site. Plus, hotels often have no-change no-cancel policies of their own.
So, it CAN be better to use a travel site but you have to do the comparisons before you commit. Travel sites sometimes have price guarantees but, having read some of the complaints about those, I don't even look at those.

Hotels-Rates.com - Ripoff!
Posted by
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE -- I made a reservation for Days Inn West Nashville online ($69.99) per night and was charged $186 something. Way more than just taxes. Per hotels-rates.com, they could not breakdown the $42 difference because the hotel "tells" them what to charge. However the hotel couldn't break down the charges because I booked through hotels-rates.com. No one to speak to personally and no way to contact except email through their website. They could only send me an invoice through email but not broken down because "they don't know the breakdown". What a rip-off.

Wasn't the rate shown to you before you accepted? Was there a charge for parking? Wi-fi? Breakfast?
Another reason to book directly with the hotel (in my experience I've never paid more on a hotel's website than a 3rd party vendor charges, and in several cases it was much cheaper using the hotel's website and a much more liveral cancellation policy).

Hotels-Rates is not a deal!
Posted by
I booked a room with Hotels-Rates, without doing my homework. I know, shame on me. They claim to have the best rates, but charge a service charge, just for booking through them. I found I could have gotten a better deal, and without this service charge!
I called to inquire about the service fees, and possibly cancel. Finding a number to call was nearly impossible. The only number available was in my email, not on their website. Once I finally got a hold of somebody, they were extremely rude to me. On top of being rude, I asked to speak with a manager, but the girl told me she was it. Disappointing to find that a company would have such rude people in the customer service department! This has been an awful experience!
I just hope that I can save someone some time, money and grief. DO NOT BOOK through HOTELS-RATES. (This is not to be confused with hotel-rates! They are pretty tricky, don't you think? One has an s in the name.)
I repeat, DO NOT BOOK through HOTELS-RATES!

False information to mislead consumer
Posted by
LA, CALIFORNIA -- I make a hotel reservation through Hotels-rates.com website a month ago. The hotel description of the hotel I pick on the webpage clearly stated that the rate includes Room and Taxes on a Single full-Sized bed room. However, after I check in the hotel on the day I reserved, I found out the rates was more than it was shown on the webpage. I contact Hotels-rates regarding the issue, they insist that it was nothing wrong on the information show on the webpage and they send out confirmation with the rate after my reservation process. I point out that it was too late to cancel the reservation after I make the booking process and the booking fee had been charged at that moment if I see the confirmation rate is different. In other words, they provide false information on the website to mislead consumer to buy their produce/service, they would not care the customer will end-up pay more to the third party. I send email to them with a copy of reservation page with the "mislead" information that I print out on the day of booking to prove the case, I never received any feedback from them. ]
What kind of service HOTELS-RATES.COM provide to consumer!!!!??? Justice...would you willing to buy service from them after you read this review.

Good info to know. A number of these third party sites are under the gun right now for doing what they did to you. They show a $100.00 airfare, you buy it and you get a confirmation for $150.00. They got you because they have run your credit card and demand a small fortune to change or cancel. It's a real scam being run on consumers by the third party travel sites. Book with airlines and hotels direct, rates are often better and you can make changes without getting screwed over. (VH)

Booked with Hotel.com at a Days Inn in Perry Fl. Rate shown was $66.00 after booking it came back at $97.00. $66 plus tax and $24 bed fee. At the hotel I asked manager was rate was if book direct it was $59 $10 tax and bed tax. Also his hotel was a dump, pool was closed, ice machine did not work. Over all not a nice place.
johnrockaway3267 on 08/10/2013:
Hotel-rates.com aha (also hiding as)internet programming inc. Of Springfield, MO. Uses deceptive practices if you have a run-in with them you should file complaints with the Missouri BBB and attorney generals offices and get the word out so others won't fall prey to their scams.
Jackie Kaye on 08/28/2013:
I booked through Hote-rates at a Days Inn. They gave aprice of $59 which transmuted into $89 when "Fees and tax" were added. When I arrived at this hotel, I was told their rate was $49!
Hotel-Rates refused me a refund. A total rip off and the first time I used them and the last!
Do NOT use this web site.

Used Hotels-Rates.com once to book a nights stay in St. Louis. When I checked out the front desk would not provide a receipt, when I called Hotels-Rates.com I was told that they would only fax me one - no emails, etc.
Bad news folks - stay away!

That's actually a common practice. The hotel can not provide you a receipt because technically, you did not pay them, Hotels-Rates.com did.
Ben There on 11/15/2007:
You did not pay the hotel, you paid hotel-rates.com so the hotel does not know exactly what you were charged and should not give you a receipt with the net amount. Just like most other retail organizations, online travel sites buy products at a bulk or discounted rate then sell them on to the consumer at a marked up price that may or may not be cheaper than what the hotel is selling directly to customers. When you buy anything online, you should print the confirmation as that is often your receipt. It is a bit weird that they could not email you another one, but that might just be because travel had passed.

I asked for a receipt from hotel-rates.com and was told that it could be faxed only. I don't have a fax! The email I received when I booked it will not suffice for a legal receipt as its only proof I booked it.
Interesting that the confirmation can be emailed but not a receipt.
Also, beware of the in house restaurant at the Crowne Plaza. I signed a charge to my room for $19.49 at the restaurant and was charged $27.19.
Mr Happy on 06/25/2008:
Hotels-Rates.com is the WORST. On Saturday I booked a room for the following Tuesday. My host changed my plans so I needed to cancel the reservation. Hotels-Rates couldn't give me a confirmation number when I called to cancel, and then said they couldn't reach the hotel to get a number. Promised to send an e-mail with confirmation number but that never happened either. They require 48 hour cancellation notice (and still charge a $25 cancellation fee) and if you cancel less than 48 hours in advance, YOU LOSE THE ENTIRE COST OF THE ROOM - NO REFUNDS. RIP-OFF.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE20 May 2008
Barnwell County woman arrested on tax fraud charges
A Williston woman is in jail today after South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators charged her with submitting fraudulent tax documents to the agency.
Eartha Mae Robinson, 47, is being held at the Barnwell County Detention Center pending a bond hearing following her arrest on five counts of forgery and four counts of submitting fraudulent tax documents to the Department of Revenue.
Robinson is accused of filing her 2003 - 2006 state tax returns using bogus
W-2 wage and earning statements to illegally receive tax refunds. Robinson fabricated W-2s showing taxes withheld from companies where she was not employed. She also is accused of preparing fraudulent tax returns using the names of others to receive illegal refunds. The DOR investigation showed Robinson received a total of $3,223 in illegal tax refunds during the years charged.
Robinson is facing up to 45 years in prison and fines of up to $40,000 if convicted of all the charges.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created Standard Precautions to help prevent the spread of infection during patient care. Standard Precautions incorporate infection control practices that help protect the patient as well as the healthcare worker. The precautions operate on the assumption that every person is potentially infected with an organism that can be transmitted in the healthcare setting. All blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions except sweat, nonintact skin, and mucous membranes may contain infectious agents that can be given to others. Healthcare personnel should follow Standard Precautions while delivering healthcare to patients
Standard Precautions to Prevent Spread of Infection for Healthcare Workers
Hand Hygiene
- Avoid touching surfaces around the patient unless necessary.
- Hand washing with an alcohol based hand rub is preferred if hands are not visibly soiled or after removing visible material with non-antimicrobial soap and water.
- Use soap and water to wash your hands if:
- Your hands are visibly dirty, soiled, or contaminated.
- You had contact with spores from organisms such as C. difficile or B. anthracis may have occured.
- Wash hands:
- Before contact with a patient.
- Before moving from a contaminated area of a patient to a clean area of the patient.
- After contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, mucous membranes, nonintact skin, wound dressings or contaminated items.
- After removing gloves.
- After contact with objects such as medical equipment that is around the patient.
- Artificial fingernails should not be worn when caring for patients who are at high risk for infection.
Personal Protective Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment includes disposable gowns, gloves, eye, and face protection.
- Use to prevent contamination of clothing or skin during procedures and patient care activities where contact with blood or other body fluids is anticipated.
- Gowns should not be reused.
- Use for touching nonintact skin, mucous membranes, blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and contaminated items.
- Use a new pair of gloves with each patient.
- Change gloves if moving from a contaminated area of a patient to a clean area of the patient.
Mask, Goggles, Face Shield
- Use during procedures and patient care activities that are likely to result in splashes or sprays of blood, body fluids, secretions, or excretions.
- Use during lumbar procedures that involve placement of a catheter, or injection of material into spinal or epidural space.
Needles and Other Sharps
- Accidental injuries with needles and sharps happen when performing procedures. They also occur when cleaning, handling, or disposing of used needles and sharps.
- To prevent needle stick injuries, used needles should not be recapped, bent or broken, or otherwise manipulated by hand.
- If recapping is required, use a one-handed scoop only.
- Place used needles, disposable syringes, scalpel blades, pipettes, and other sharp items in puncture-resistant containers marked with a biohazard symbol for disposal.
- Use safety features when available.
Safety when Injecting Medicine
- Aseptic techniques should be used with sterile injection equipment.
- Do not reuse needles, tubing, connectors, IV bags, or syringes. They should only be used on one patient.
- Use single-dose vials whenever possible and only use single-dose vials for one patient.
- If using multi-dose vials:
- Keep them away from the immediate patient areas.
- Needles, tubing and syringes used to access the vial must be sterile.
Patient Resuscitation
Use a mouthpiece, resuscitation bag, or other ventilation devices to prevent contact with mouth or oral secretions.
Environmental Control
- Frequently clean and disinfect surfaces that are patients are near and frequently touched surfaces as these surfaces can easily be contaminated.
- Use appropriate cleaning solutions that are Environmental Protection Agency registered.
- Child play toys used in waiting areas should regularly be disinfected.
- Handle fabric such as used sheets and towels carefully to avoid contamination with other objects or the air.
Equipment Used in Patient Care
- Precautions should be taken to prevent spread of infection from equipment that has been contaminated. Examples include:
- Removing material from instruments and cleaning the devices before sterilization.
- Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment when handing patient care equipment that may have been soiled or been in contact with blood or body fluids.
Patient Placement
Try to put patients who may transmit infections to others in single room. This may any patient who is likely to contaminate environment, does not maintain hygiene, or is at risk for acquiring or developing adverse outcomes following infection.
Respiratory Hygiene/Cough Etiquette
In addition to patients and healthcare workers, this element is also aimed at family members and friends with undiagnosed transmissible respiratory infections. People entering a health facility with signs of illness including cough, congestion, rhinorrhea, or increased production of respiratory secretions should take special precautions. Offices and hospitals should have posted signs with instructions for patients and visitors to:
- Cover their mouth/nose when coughing or sneezing.
- Use tissues and after use, throw them away in appropriate receptacles..
- Wash hands after coughing, sneezing, or blowing nose.
- Wear masks if they are coughing or have other symptoms as soon as they walk into the facility during season where respiratory infections are common.
- Stay at least 3 feet away from other patients if they are having symptoms.

It's my greatest pleasure to present to you:
Exploring the Word of the Buddha
A Study and Practice Course in the Pali Suttas
with Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi and Ven.Thanissaro Bhikkhu
The Pali suttas are one of our oldest sources for the original teachings of the Buddha, who lived and taught in India in the fifth century B.C.
This course will focus on a systematic study of the suttas, using as a primary textbook Bhikkhu Bodhi's anthology, In the Buddha's Words. Ven.Thanissaro Bhikkhu will expound in detail the meditation methods described in the suttas, and their practical application. The course will aim to reveal the scope and depth of the Buddha's original teachings, which cover a wide variety of topics ranging from family life and marriage to ethics, mind-training, insight, and liberation. The course will be suitable both for relative newcomers to Buddhism as well as for more advanced students who wish to study the Dhamma from the most ancient sources.
Basic text: Bhikkhu Bodhi, editor: In the Buddha's Words (Wisdom Publications).
Note: For the first class students should read, In the Buddha's Words Introduction and Chapter one.
Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi is originally from New York City and obtained a PhD in philosophy from Claremont Graduate School in 1972. In late 1972, he traveled to Sri Lanka, where he was ordained as a Buddhist monk. He was the editor for the Buddhist Publication Society in Kandy, Sri Lanka, from 1984 until 2002. He has edited Ven. Nanamoli's translation of the Majjhima Nikaya (Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, 1995), translated the Samyutta Nikaya (Connected Discourses of the Buddha, 2000), and compiled an anthology of suttas from the Pali Canon (In the Buddha's Words, 2005). From 2002 to early 2007 he lived at Bodhi Monastery in Sussex County, New Jersey. He now resides at Chuang Yen Monastery.
Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu, also known as Ajaan Geoff, (born 1949) is an American Buddhist monk of the Dhammayut Order (Dhammayutika Nikaya), Thai forest kammatthana tradition. He is currently the abbot of Metta Forest Monastery in San Diego County. Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu is considered one of the foremost experts in the Pāli language and of the Pāli Canon. He is also the author of many free Dhamma books. In 1995, Ajaan Geoff became the first American born, non-Thai bhikkhu to be given the title, authority, and responsibility of Preceptor (Upajjhaya) in the Dhammayut Order. He also serves as Treasurer of that Order in the United States of America.
There is no charge for the courses. Donations for the Bodhi and Metta Forest monasteries are welcome.
Online registration starts today on this webpage.

Glad you girded and quilted it, because it looks great! That is a cute quilt in general as well. Nice job!ReplyDelete
Great quilt & I love your telling of it's "story."ReplyDelete
Very pretty! I loved this quilt - the colors and the whole quilt - when you posted it last winter. I copied your idea and made a baby quilt.ReplyDelete
Hi Amy! Just wanted to say hi, and that I really enjoy your blog and can't wait to meet you in person at the Sewing Summit in October (I just registered!). I'm from Denver and am good friends with Melissa Lawrence of Mel's Own Place, who I think you know since she's from Salt Lake. We work together at a local quilt shop. Anywho, I just started a blog of my own- stitcherydickorydock.blogspot.com. Nothing fancy yet, but I'm trying, and so inspired by yours! Loved your pix and commentary from Market. One day I hope to go myself! Take care!ReplyDelete
Lovely quilt. I especially like the color scheme and the combination of blocks. I will definately be a copy-cat for this one. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

It was so nice meeting you this past weekend --and I agree, there just wasn't enough time to sit and talk with everyone ;)
Love this quilt, the colours and design are great, it really shows off the gorgeous fabrics. I know exactly what you mean about doing your own quilting, I don't feel competent, can't be bothered or I'm terrified of ruining something that I've put a lot of work into.

Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

By Brandon Hahn Athletic Xtreme
Youre goal is to build massive legs. Here you sit exhausted with poor results. Its not your fault. You didnt know the secrets to dem gainz that people are talking about. There is such emphasis on other muscles and adding so much complexity that the legs are often overlooked. A 12-20 set workout designed solely for your chest and around the same amount of sets for your entire legs! The quadriceps and hamstrings are such complex structures, not to mention the calves, and yet they get the leftovers. Gains are here, its time to get some!
There apparently was a time when the workout gods all sat down and decided we would all follow a 5-day split. Chest, back, legs, shoulders, and finish with arms. This would work fine for a beginner. Depending on the exercises chosen, it might be a great split. However, most fall short of designing a great workout. Its not your fault, its simply all of the magazines telling you the 5-day approach is whats best. When laying out that workout, you should easily see what is wrong.
There is very little focus on separating your legs into two separate days. The hamstrings often get neglected because they are on the back of the leg and often covered by shorts. When training these two large muscle groups together, it is not easy to muster up enough energy to train them both properly. One often gets whats left in the tank. Well, their facebook status now says single! They are no longer a couple, in fact I just saw Hamstrings pickin up chicks last night! A little much, but hey you laughed.
Alright, the workout below does still focus on both quadriceps and hamstrings in each workout. The goal is to work the primary or dominant muscle in the first part of the workout. Simply altering your hamstrings exercises and quad exercises from week to week would suffice. However, if all other major muscle groups get there own day, then it is time for your legs to get the same treatment. Once they catch up or surpass your other muscles, you can back off.
Hamstring Dominant Workout
Deadlifts 3 sets 4-6 reps
Good Mornings 3 sets 6-8 reps
Lying Leg Curls 3 sets 6-8 reps
Front Squats 5 sets 10 reps
Leg Extensions 3 sets 10 reps
Standing Calf Raises 3 sets 10 reps
Quad Dominant Workout
Squats 3 sets 4-6 reps
Front Squats 3 sets 6-8 reps
Leg Press 3 sets 6-8 reps
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts 5 sets 10 reps
Lying Leg Curls 3 sets 10 reps
Seated Calf Raises 3 sets 10 reps
Note: These would ideally be separated by at least 48 hours, or longer. Ideally, youd do hamstrings dominant on Monday and quad dominant on Thursday or Friday.
There you have it, leg domination at its finest! Remember to go heavy and follow the rep layout. If you get less than the lower end of the range, lighten the weight. If you get more than the high end of the rep range, increase the weight. It should also be noted that IF you get more than the high end of the rep range, CONTINUE REPPING IT OUT. Thats your set, own it, and own the fact that next time you will use more weight. Dont waste the set because of a miscalculation (or however you are determining these numbers). Its time to get started.

EDEN Soft White Winter Wheat, aka pastry wheat, is U.S.A. family organically grown. Planted in the Fall it begins to grow, then is dormant for the winter. Spring sends up it's flowering stalks for a mid-summer harvest. Lower in protein and gluten with more complex carbs than hard wheat, it makes the best flour for gravies, sauces, biscuits, cakes, pie crusts, cookies, and pastries.
Nutrition Facts
EDEN Soft White Winter Wheat is low in fat and saturated fat, cholesterol free, very low sodium, and rich in healthy fiber. According to the FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain and other plant foods, and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers." Also, "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." EDEN Soft White Winter Wheat is a good source of protein, iron, thiamin B1, niacin B3, magnesium, zinc, and copper.
Uses for EDEN Organic Soft White Winter Wheat:
• Grind into an excellent all purpose flour for making pastries, pancakes, waffles, pie crusts, crackers, and other baked goods. It is ideal for sauces, gravies, and thicken soups and stews.
• Wash, soak and sprout to brighten salads, sandwiches, and juices.
• Mill coarse for cracked wheat cereal or wheat pilaf
• Soak and boil with Organic EDEN Aduki Beans or pressure cook with brown rice. When combining with brown rice you must soak the wheat first for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight, then pressure cook or boil so the wheat and rice are tender at the same time.
• Boil whole for a delightful, chewy, completely satisfying, and versatile porridge.
Boiling and Pressure Cooking Directions:
Wash the wheat berries thoroughly, rinse and drain. Place in a bowl with cold water to cover and soak overnight, or 6 to 8 hours, before cooking to soften. The soaking water may be used to cook the grain. Another method is to patiently dry roast the wheat after washing. Roast it in a heavy or cast iron skillet stirring constantly over a medium flame until the berries are golden brown and release a sweet nutty aroma.
To boil wheat place 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups of water per cup of wheat, or wheat and aduki beans, and a pinch of EDEN Sea Salt in a heavy pot. If adding aduki beans, do not add salt until the last 10 minutes of cooking. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame and simmer for 2 to 3 hours. For porridge add more water and cook longer until creamy. For pressure cooking place the wheat, or wheat and rice, 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water and a pinch of EDEN Sea Salt in the cooker. Secure lid and bring to pressure. Reduce flame to medium-low and cook for an hour and fifteen minutes. Remove from the flame and allow pressure to come down before removing the lid.
