Sebastian Vettel has set a lot of records over his Formula 1 career, and in Austin today he achieved another landmark when he beat Michael Schumacher's record to become the first man to win eight straight races in a single season.
Alberto Ascari won nine times over 1952-'53, but nobody had won more than seven in a single season.
"I think it's one of those records that you never expect to be beaten, so it's very difficult to find the right words," said Vettel. "I didn't really answer the questions the last couple of days because at the end of the day what makes me jump into the car is not a certain number.

"We don't have an active SWAT team now and the equipment that it would take to run a legitimate SWAT team—we don't have what's needed. What we are trying to do is see if the community and the public are willing to help us purchase the stuff because of the limited resources we have with the county," said Bolivar County Sheriff Kelvin Williams.
While the BCSD does not have enough funds to get the proper materials needed for this project, the sheriff is hopeful that they will be able to reach their goal through fundraising.
Daniel Gresham, Bolivar County investigator, has visited different organizations throughout the community to bring awareness to the importance of having a SWAT team.
"He's put together a PowerPoint presentation to show the need of a SWAT team for this county and the effectiveness of a particular SWAT team," said Williams.
When Gresham began looking into having an official SWAT team for Bolivar County, he realized that there is a great need for equipment.
The current equipment is outdated, with vests over 10 years old and helmets over 20 years old.
"It was just so far behind and it is not anywhere it needs to be for safety reasons," Gresham. "It is equipment intensive. Vests have to be up to standard. Weapons have to be up to standard.
"We are looking at having to almost start from scratch and it takes a lot of funding to fully outfit the SWAT team," said Gresham.
Gresham estimated that one vest and one sub gun cost roughly $1,500 each, while helmets are around $600 each.
"This is expensive equipment and as you can see it adds up," said Gresham.
The group will not only need to have enough ammunition on hand for actual calls but for training too.
The SWAT team will also eventually need a vehicle to transport the entire team at once.
"The reason why is because we are serving high risk warrants in the county. We've had to make do and do the best we can," said Gresham.
While Cleveland and Bolivar County currently have response teams, they don't have officers that are properly trained.
"The training and the equipment is a safety issue for them, and it's a safety issue for the suspect. The more we know what we're doing and the better equipped we are, the more likely it is that we will take them into custody," said Gresham.
The closest SWAT team to Bolivar County is in Tunica, another reason Gresham feels the need to assemble a SWAT team.
"You hope for the best and prepare for the worst," he said.
"It would be at least an hour and a half before they can get their stuff together and get down here, and that's being generous with the time," Gresham continued. "In any kind of active shooting situation like that, it gets worse as time goes on. The studies that have been done on those is to get there, respond, and neutralize the suspect as quickly as possible and right now we don't have that capability."
Gresham estimated that to get nine SWAT team members combat ready would cost around $20,000-$25,000.
"I'm willing to work with anyone in the community," said Gresham.
Gresham and the BCSD will continue to promote and raise awareness for a SWAT team in Bolivar County.

The warm glimmer of a blazing fireplace inspires cozy holiday bliss in all of us. Even crooning Christmas legends have roasted chestnuts and hung stockings around the fire in beloved verse.
Nonetheless, while a toasty fire presents a practical way to warm up the wintertime chill, a neglected fireplace may spark a flame you can't control. When soot condenses from continuous use, a highly combustible substance called creosote accumulates, leaving you one match away from a house fire.
Thus, to maintain a safe domestic blaze, let's prepare for some holiday hearth action with an annual cleaning. As the hearth is the center of your home, protect your haven with these easy steps.
You will need:
First thing's first. Has it been one day? For this undertaking, it's important that you wait 24 hours since the last lit fire.
Slip on our exclusive suede hearth utility gloves and make sure you're dressed for the occasion – old clothing is great for fireplace cleaning.
Place newspaper or tarp on the fireplace floor to catch the soot and cover close furniture with old sheets or cloth. Trash bags are also helpful to have nearby to dispose of waste.
Open the flue and peer into your chimney. With a little skylight, you can inspect soot and possibly metallic hardened deposits of creosote. Let's get to work!
Begin by using your handy dandy shovel to remove ashes and debris piled in the fireplace.
Next, take a chimney sweep brush and brush away! Our round poly brushes do a thorough job without scratching up the flue. Pair with a fiberglass extension rod and make sure to brush each wall top to bottom. Shovel the ashes into a pan and dump the wreckage into your standby trash bags or a sturdy ash bucket or scuttle.
Next, take a scrubber brush and a bucket of warm water and begin a deep cleansing. To make it more effective, add a squirt or two of detergent in the pale. Rinse with a sponge and wipe dry with an old towel.
Pick up your protective newspaper or tarp, full of soot and deposits, and throw it in the bag! The trash bag, obviously. Relax while the walls dry and savor that awesome feeling of do-it-yourself accomplishment. Close the flue and we're back in business!
Now, you're ready to rekindle another winter of yuletide bliss before the fireplace. Who needs lengthy footage of a burning log? You've got your own safe, efficient, slow-burning beauty at the ready.

Crafting a quality braided rug is an art form and a uniquely American one at that. The tradition of handmade braided rugs started in New England during the Colonial period and continues today with family-owned Rhody Rug, Inc. in Providence, Rhode Island.
Rhody Rug President Ronnie Agrela is a first generation Portuguese immigrant, who came to America at age 14. Owner of Rhody Rug since 1987, Ronnie has been in the rug-making business for 47 years, and he has a combined 75 years experience with his company's CFO, brother-in-law Manny Martins.
Both Ronnie and Manny are involved in all levels of the family business. Their enthusiasm for rug making and lifelong dedication to the craft are evident in all aspects from design, manufacturing and quality control to inventory management and fulfillment.
Rhody Rug and Plow & Hearth have a long history of solid partnership, dating back to the 1990s. Rhody Rug creates unique designs and color combinations exclusively for Plow & Hearth and is a recipient of our Vendor of the Year Award.
"All stuff and no fluff" is Ronnie's motto. When it comes to braided rugs, Rhody Rug true flat braids are superior to their flimsy tubular counterparts, which often feature shoddy fibers, paper cores and more filler than surface yarns.
Rhody Rug true flat braids feature a knit tube inner that forms a cushion within the braid, offering longevity, softness underfoot and flexibility without distortion. The rugs lay flat and don't curl. Their seamless construction ensures no weak spots.
Rhody Rug hand-stitches their rugs together with Clearlon® T-50, a high-quality nylon monofilament thread that exceeds industry standards and offers exceptional strength and durability.
Rhody Rug braids have a real heft and fullness to them. You can see and feel the difference in their quality construction and materials.
Every Rhody Rug is 100% American made. All materials – every thread and fiber – are sourced from American suppliers and manufacturers. Each braided rug is quality-crafted in the Rhode Island facility. With just 20 employees in the family-run business, Ronnie and Manny are often seen crafting the rugs themselves.
Rhody Rug is truly a hands-on company and a real American success story. Ronnie, Manny and their entire team take great pride in the tradition of braided rugs and it's evident in every rug they make.

Fall is coming…time to think about Fall garden chores! Here are some timely tips for preparing your yard and garden for the cold months ahead and making spring cleanup easier.
Trim off dead branches and spent blossoms from your perennials, keeping in mind that some seed pods and ornamental grasses add interest to the Winter garden. Save any leftover seeds from some plants (like coreopsis, Jefferson bean and sunflowers) to plant in the garden next year.
The fresh veggies don't have to stop with summer – in addition to winter squash, late summer is a great time to sow seeds for a Fall crop of greens (like spinach and lettuces). A cold frame or row covers help extend the growing season.
To keep bugs and other pests from hibernating in your vegetable garden, be sure to clear away all dead plants (you can use them for compost) and remove all yard debris once you're done harvesting. Check in and around the garden for the tan egg cases of gypsy moths and destroy them. Any diseased or pest-ridden plants should be burned. Amend and improve vegetable garden soil with compost and organic fertilizers. While you're doing this, you can plan out your garden for the following growing season, keeping in mind what plants performed well and what might benefit from a change.
Dig up summer annuals and use them to nourish the compost heap. You should also dig up your summer bulbs and store them in peat moss for the winter.
Yes, you can plant in the Fall! To ensure colorful springtime blooms, it's best to plant bulbs in the Fall, before the earth freezes (usually in mid-October, though tulips can be planted as late as November). Looking for color before spring? Try planting cold-hardy annuals like ornamental kale, pansies and chrysanthemums.
Early Fall is a good time to divide and transplant perennials (like irises and peonies), trees and shrubs if they haven't been flourishing in their current location, giving them time to establish themselves and allow their roots to develop before the ground freezes. Be sure to keep them well watered until the first freeze.
"Winter over" container plants in the garage or basement. Remove dead leaves and break up any hardened soil before bringing them inside for storage in a garage, mudroom or basement.
Once the ground freezes, cover shrubs, roses, and tender perennials that might succumb to frigid temperatures with a good layer of mulch. You can also use screens or covers to protect these plants.
Don't let fallen leaves stay on your lawn all winter – left unattended, they'll suffocate grass and other plants. You don't need to let them go to waste…shredded leaves make great mulch.
It grows more slowly in the fall, but do cut the grass before winter sets in. Be sure to lower the lawn mower and cut it short to help it dry out more quickly in the spring. Follow up that last cutting with a feeding – the extra nutrients will help it survive through the winter.

Looking for the right lighting for your landscape? Solar lights offer many advantages over other types of outdoor lights. Solar lighting requires no wiring or cords, which means installation is quick and easy. Plus, solar lights are an eco-friendly, energy-saving option because they capture the sun's energy by day to brighten your home's exterior at night. Here are some great ideas for adding beauty and security to your home with minimal effort!
Here at Plow & Hearth, we're big fans of glittering fairies and woodland folk! Their resin wings and miniature homes fill our virtual shop and catalog pages. What's the most flutter-ful thing about them, you ask?
The magical ability to light their way through our gardens, of course!
Luminescent fairy wings in flight make such a beautiful sight that we're inspired to mimic their magic with string lights and hanging ornaments.
Have you been searching for the radiant romance of hanging lights and lanterns at dawn or the airy atmosphere of a faintly lit garden, fit for fairies? Or perhaps you're seeking the security of a bright walkway, ensuring no late night homecoming goes unlit? These solar solutions have it covered, with or without the aid of wing-ed friends!
No access to shimmering stardust? No worries, the mechanics are fairly simple. Leave your lights to bathe in sunny rays during the daytime and the solar panels, found on the crown or side of your model, will store up energy. Your lights will ignite as sunlight fades and last for about four hours at a time.
While solar lights seem to work like magic, the actual chemistry is equally compelling. Each light contains either nickel cadmium (NiCD) or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries wired to solar cells that convert sunlight directly into energy. In many cases, this energy powers an efficient light-emitting diode, or LED bulb. Leave them outside all year long!
Enchanting fairy lights, path lights, or lanterns are must-haves for any outdoor celestial haven. But don't limit yourself to hardwired systems for landscape lighting in the process of creating the magic! There are so many eco-friendly and efficient solar lighting options to try.
Wireless and convenient, decorative solar garden lighting makes the perfect light and design solution to any outdoor entertainment or dining dilemma.
Brighter isn't always better! Compared to conventional models, solar landscape lighting emits a softer ethereal glow to sustain light longer into the evening. The blaze won't match that of traditional low-voltage lights, but these handy units conserve energy, light, and of course, your bill.
Long-lasting LED lights are the most common landscape light bulb, emitting a muted shine sufficient for solar security lighting along steps and pathways. Halogen or florescent solar lights burn brighter, but won't last as long.
Like all of nature's wonders, these lights are at the mercy of the sun. On winter or overcast days, cells will generate less power for the batteries to store. Nevertheless, on bright days that fade into clear dreamy nights perfect for entertaining, your solar lights will power through with abiding elfin spirit!
Minimal maintenance and lack of a light switch are huge advantages to having solar outdoor entertaining lighting and security bulbs. Regularly wipe down the panels with a barely damp cloth and you're set. The battery only needs to be replaced every two years!
Photo sensors and motion sensors maintain the magic, allowing you to watch your lights turn on from afar or catch the occasional nymph tiptoeing by. But if you'd rather dispel the magic for a while, some models come with a manual switch.
Subtly designed installations are one of many recent design advances in the solar landscape world. These days, you can place solar lights along in-ground walkways, float them in pools, or place them inside for decorative accents. Weatherproof technology even allows you to mount panels outside to give your shed, closet, or barn some fairy rustic mood lighting!
From the twinkling glow of rustic string lights and hanging orbs to the firefly effect of fairy lights in mason jars and color changing mobiles, solar lights bring unexpected brilliance your yard! Even classically designed practical and security lighting provide a serene ambience to skirt your pathways.
Borrow a little solar stardust to sprinkle above the garden and along the courtyard. You may just mesmerize even your enchanted woodland friends!Shop our entire Solar Lighting collection!
Exercise can affect your sleep. "Exercise is great for sleep. For the millions of people who want better sleep, exercise may help," says David Cloud, CEO, National Sleep Foundation.
Self-described exercisers report better sleep than self-described non-exercisers even though they say they sleep the same amount each night (6 hours and 51 minutes, average on weeknights). Vigorous, moderate, and light exercisers are significantly more likely to say "I had a good night's sleep" every night or almost every night on work nights than non-exercisers.
"If you are inactive, adding a 10 minute walk every day could improve your likelihood of a good night's sleep," says Max Hirshkowitz, Ph.D., poll task force chair. "Making this small change and gradually working your way up to more intense activities like running or swimming could help you sleep better."
Those who report exercising close to bedtime and earlier in the day do not demonstrate a difference in self-reported sleep quality. In fact, for most people exercise at any time seems to be better for sleep than no exercise at all.
"Exercise is beneficial to sleep. It's time to put exercise – any time – at the top of our list for healthy sleep habits," says Dr. Barbara Phillips, poll task force member.
We wish you an active, healthy week with some good rest!

Developed to be protective and add traction, running/walking shoes have evolved to incorporate lightweight materials that cushion the foot from the trauma of walking or running. Most cushioning comes from EVA foam, a lightweight material injected with air cells designed to absorb impact.
But, like all good things, the foam eventually loses its magic, that can happen anywhere from 300 to 500 miles after the first wear. For a runner/walker doing five 3-mile runs or walks per week, that comes out to a new pair every five to six months. (Let's hope Santa comes twice this year!).
"According to some researchers, running/walking shoes should be replaced anywhere from 300 to 500 miles after the first wear."
Why rush to pick up a new pair? Once that foam wears out, the risk of overuse injuries increases, because the material has lost its ability to absorb shock. While some overuse injuries (like shin splints are minor, others (like tendinitis) might require more serious treatment. One good way to avoid these issues: Regularly trading in your old shoes for new kicks.
Why do experts give such a big range for the appropriate time to replace old sneaks? Every runner/walker has a different weight and foot strike, both of which affect the cushioning of shoes in various ways (For instance, a heavier runner/walker who runs or walks on their heels may wear out the shoe cushioning faster than a light runner/walker who runs or walks on their toes.). To eliminate all those miles of guesswork, here are some quick signs that those running/walking shoes need to be replaced:

Parker thinks he's a normal cat, says his "mom," Jessica. Granted, he can't carry his tail proudly in the air like most kitties, and it can't be denied that his walk is a bit crooked. But he runs about and plays like most young cats, pounces on his favorite toys (catnip mice), teases his big "brother," Captain (another ginger cat), loves to cuddle with his humans, and has a healthy appetite (too healthy, sometimes, Jessica admits).
Parker is also a Plow & Hearth pet model.
You may have seen Parker in our catalog and on our web site over the past year, lounging around in our latest pet beds like the Kitten Caboodle Cat Bed Pouf (#53359), the Rattan Cat House (#53266) and the Waterproof Heated Outdoor Cat House (#52626), or snuggling into our Cozy Comfort Micro Velour Blankets (#93130). But he had a lot of healing to do before he was able to join the Plow & Hearth team as an employee.
A year ago this month, Parker was found hiding behind a woodpile in the parking lot outside our photo studio. Starving, dehydrated, riddled with worms and badly injured, the tiny kitten probably would not have lived through another day had the studio team not immediately rushed him to a nearby veterinary. Though not more than six weeks old by the veterinarian's estimate, there was no sign of his family, nor any indication of how he might have managed to escape from the animal that apparently (going by the teeth marks in his little body) had picked him up and shaken him, leaving him with a hernia, broken rib, punctured liver and damaged spine.
"He was miserable, but desperate for help," recalls Assistant Photographer Jessica. "When [Plow & Hearth Producer] Matt pulled him out of the wood pile and handed him off to me, Parker just clung to my shirt, crying. I knew right away that I wanted to adopt him." Parker relaxing between takes.
It was the best thing that could have happened to Parker (whose name was inspired by the parking lot in which he was found). Jessica's fiancé, Hayes, works from a home office, so he was able to give Parker the frequent attention, feeding and treatment the kitten required after the surgery for his hernia and liver. Before long, Parker became strongly bonded to Hayes.
"It was like Parker imprinted on Hayes," Jessica recalls with a smile.
Hayes also took Parker to most of his therapy sessions.
"The worst injury was the nerve damage to his spine," Jessica explains "Every single disc had scar tissue, and he had to go through six months of acupuncture and laser therapy treatments."
Parker patiently sits through an accupuncture treatment.
As Parker underwent treatment, Jessica noticed that, while a little shy with strangers at first, he warmed up to them very quickly. Additionally, he was good-natured, patient and cooperative – qualities that make pets successful models. As his health improved, she decided to try bringing him along on photo shoots where a cat was required.
Good cat models are hard to find: being cute and photogenic (Parker is both!) is not enough. Many cats become uneasy in a strange environment and won't stay in the beds or cat houses they're meant to be trying out; others are happy to investigate the products, but get curious when they see the camera pointed at them and break the pose so they can investigate before the shot is taken. Perhaps it's because he's received so much care and handling from the humans in his life, but Parker willingly takes direction and stays put (mostly) for photos, making him an ideal pet model.
"He travels so well in the car," Jessica says. "He doesn't even need to stay in the carrier during short trips. And he's very relaxed on-set. Also, he's very small, which helps."Career Kitty: Parker shows off one of Plow & Hearth's pet beds.
Small he is – at only five pounds, Parker is undersized for his age. His veterinarian thinks his growth was stunted from all he's been through. But what he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in personality. And unlike many models, he hasn't let all the attention from his new career go to his head!
"He's really sweet and cuddly, always sleeps on the bed with us," Jessica shares. "Very chatty and talkative, and he looks you right in your eyes when he's talking to you!
"He even 'talks' to the birds through the window," Jessica adds with a laugh. "He's an indoor-only cat, and sitting and watching the birds is one of his favorite activities."
And though his body may be small, his appetite certainly isn't.
"We have to watch his food intake carefully because his system is so sensitive, and he hates it," Jessica says. "He gets one treat daily, and I think that's the highlight of his day!"
Want to keep up with Parker? "Like" us on Facebook to see more photos, keep checking our blog for updates, and follow him on Twitter. Parker also appears (along with some other four-footed friends) on the Plow Pets board on our Pinterest page. For a closer look at Parker's 5-purr products, follow the links above.

Thinking of adopting a pet? Consider one with "special needs" – they need a home, too, and have a lot of love to give. Jessica says that Parker makes all the effort of taking care of him well worth it!
This summer, millions of Americans will take to the roads. If you're one of them you may think that means hours with nothing to munch on but convenience store staples like chips and cookies. Not anymore! While convenience stores still have their fair share of not-so-good eats, many now stock a surprising selection of healthy choices. Next time you stop to refuel, test drive these light snacks:
1. Whole grain cereal cups Why start your day with a donut when you can get wholesome whole grain cereal? You may need to dig through the cereal display to find it, but it's there. Just be sure to read the label, as some varieties are more healthful than others. Look for brands that supply at least 4 grams of fiber and about 160 calories per cup (Cheerios are a safe bet that are almost always available). Mix with low-fat yogurt and a banana and you've got a wholesome breakfast you can take along for the drive.
2. Energy bars Energy bars make a savvy snack to have on hand for times when you're stuck in traffic and your stomach starts to growl. Yet they're not all created equally. Many are low in fiber, high in calories and loaded with sugar. For maximum hunger control, aim for bars with a combo of at least 5 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein and fewer than 170 calories such as Kellogg's Special K Protein Meal Bar or Kashi Go Lean Protein & Fiber Bar.
3. Peanuts in the shell Packed with vitamin E and monounsaturated fat, peanuts are a heart-healthy snack. But, if you're not careful it's easy to wolf down several servings before you know it. Enter in-shell peanuts. Shelling your own peanuts automatically slows you down, so you'll be less likely to eat too many. About ½ cup supplies 7 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 20% of your daily vitamin E for a respectable 160 calories.
4. Low-fat yogurt When you crave something cool and creamy, head to the refrigerator case instead of the ice cream case. There you'll find low-fat yogurt (some stores even stock organic varieties). It will satisfy your taste buds while also delivering on the nutritional front. For about 140 calories or less, you'll get one-quarter of your daily calcium and as much protein as you'd get from a large egg. Look on the label and you'll see many brands are now fortified with vitamin D as well.
5. V8 100% vegetable juice Squeezing in your 9 daily servings of produce when you're on the road can be a major challenge. While fresh is best, it isn't always possible. That's when 100% veggie juice can help. One 12-ounce bottle provides the equivalent of 3 servings of vegetables for just 70 calories. It's packed with vitamins A and C, heart-healthy potassium, and lycopene, a phytochemical cousin of beta-carotene. Each bottle also offers 3 grams of filling fiber.
6. Trail mix Put down the peanut M&Ms and reach for a bag of trail mix instead. Its dried fruit and nuts provide the perfect mix of sweet, salty and crunchy - but with a healthful twist. You'll not only slash fat and calories, you'll get half the saturated fat you'd find in chocolate bars or M&Ms. Be sure to keep an eye on portions. Even though it's good for you, trail mix is high in calories. Three tablespoons supply 140 calories and 9 grams of fat.
7. Single serve bags of baby carrots You no longer need to stumble across a roadside stand to get your fill of fresh veggies. Conveniently packaged single-serve bags of baby carrots make it easy to sneak in a serving of produce. Precut, prewashed and easily portable, they make a smart alternative to other bagged snacks. One 2¼ ounce bag delivers 90 percent of your daily dose of vitamin A and 2 grams of fiber for only 25 calories.
8. Fresh fruit cup Stores like 7-Eleven are making it easier for you to get your fruit fix. Now instead of gravitating toward the snack aisle, check out the fresh food case. There you'll find juicy fruit cups made from pre-cut cantaloupe, honeydew, and grapes. Not only are they a calorie bargain, they're rich in fiber and also supply healthful antioxidants like vitamins A and C and beta-carotene. They're filling too. One 8-oz container provides roughly 2 servings of fruit for only about 100 calories. If you can't find fresh cut fruit, look for fruit packed in water or extra-light syrup.
9. Part skim string cheese sticks It's hard to squeeze in your 3 daily servings of dairy when you're cooped up in the car all day. Calcium-rich snacks like string cheese can help. Grab a couple of these and you'll get as much calcium as you would from a glass of milk. What's more, their protein (one piece supplies 7 grams) helps you focus and stay alert behind the wheel. For a balanced snack, pair them with a bag of baby carrots.
10. Bananas Most convenience stores offer single pieces of fresh fruit like bananas, oranges and apples year round. You don't have to look far to find them either—they are usually at the front of the store next to the cash register. If you don't want to worry about washing an apple or trying to peel an orange while driving, reach for a banana. This sweet fruit is packaged in its own skin for easy clean up and nonsticky fingers. Bananas are a potassium powerhouse, delivering energy to help keep you going on that long drive.

Pesky insects can put a damper on summer fun, but you can keep them under control without exposing your family, pets and the environment to harmful chemicals. Here are some tips for quelling three of the most common pests with effective, all-natural remedies.
Wasps are very territorial about their nests, but your mom was right – if you leave them alone, they'll usually leave you alone. Unless they're nesting near or on your home or in other high-traffic areas, it's a good idea to do just that because they're a beneficial bug that preys on other insects. Take a few tips on how to co-exist peacefully with wasps:
• Keep wasps out of your home. Prevent wasps from building a nest in or on your home by sealing off the places they can get in. Repair torn screens, seal cracks around windows and doors and cover unsealed vents to keep the critters out. If you suspect they've already invaded but aren't sure where, follow their flight path to discover their point of entry.
• Keep food under wraps outdoors. This applies to anything a wasp would consider food. Wasps remember where they've found food and will keep checking back, so don't provide any temptation for them if you can avoid it. When dining out on the patio, keep your food covered and put it away as soon as you're done. If you have fruit trees, don't leave the fallen fruit on the ground. Use lids or covers on your trash cans and compost heaps, and don't leave food out for your pet. Take extra care when drinking canned beverages outdoors or you may find a nasty surprise has gotten into it!
• Walk away from a hovering wasp. It might be tempting to swat a hovering wasp, but crushing them releases a pheromone scent that attracts and agitates other wasps, encouraging them to swarm. If a wasp is hovering nearby, a tactical retreat is usually the best option.
• Don't use perfume or wear brightly colored clothing when spending a lot of time outdoors. Hawaiian shirts look great at a luau, but looking and smelling like a big flower has its drawbacks! Like bees, wasps feed on nectar, so avoid hues and scents that they'll find appetizing.
Early mornings and evenings are popular times for relaxing on the porch or patio – unfortunately, these are also the times when mosquitoes are out for blood. In addition to the many effective, all-natural traps and repellents now available, here are some quick, cost-effective and all-natural fixes you can do yourself:
• Set up mosquito traps. There are mosquito traps that lure insects with heat and light (instead of chemicals) and cover a wide area. Some run on propane, some are electric, some are gas-powered. Make sure they're up and running and doing their job before you head outdoors.
• Change the water in your birdbath, pet's dish or child's wading pool regularly. Mosquitoes are attracted to standing water sources, so be sure to change the water in your birdbath or child's wading pool at least twice a week to keep the population down. Make sure your pet has fresh water at least twice a day, and keep your rain gutters clear so they drain properly. Keep an eye out for – and remove – items in your yard or garden that collect water.
• "Fan" yourself. Use an electric fan outdoors? Believe it or not, it actually works – mosquitoes are hampered by a breeze, which is why they tend to seek pockets of still air in which to congregate. When dining on the porch or patio, aim a pedestal fan at the picnic table, or a small fan at your deck chair. You'll not only blow the pests away – you'll enjoy a nice breeze, too!
• Ward them off. We're not sure about vampires, but it's a proven fact that garlic makes an effective mosquito repellent. Cool! Mix one part garlic juice with five parts water, dip some cloth strips in the mixture and hang them around your outdoor sitting area for a localized deterrent. You can also tie the cloths around your wrists or ankles to prevent bites.
• Wear bug-repellent clothing. When hiking or camping, be sure to cover all exposed areas with long-sleeved shirts and long pants with snug cuffs. Hats and jackets with fine-mesh screens are a good idea, too.
• Spice things up. Using a charcoal grill? Toss a tablespoon or so of sage or rosemary on the coals to keep mosquitoes away (it smells great, too).
• Plant marigolds. The cheerful red, gold and orange flowers are not only pretty, hardy, easy to grow and tasty (try them in your salad!), they're natural pest repellants, too! Plant them in pots or borders along your porch or patio to deter flying insects. They'll even keep aphids away from your vegetable garden!
These common household pests are more than a nuisance – they're a health hazard. A single housefly can carry over one million bacteria. Take a few measures to control flies in your backyard and your home, and you'll be healthier for it.
• Outdoor dining. When setting a picnic or umbrella table for a meal, use a small bowl filled with sweet basil and clover as a centerpiece. Keep an open container of the mixture near your pet's food dish, too.
• Make use of scented herbs and essential oils. Mint deters flies, is easy to grow and comes in many varieties. Harvest some of the fresh leaves, crush them, and tie them up in small squares of cheesecloth. Place these sachets around your outdoor sitting areas (as well as inside the house) to discourage flies from hanging around. Bay leaves and cloves work well, too. You can also add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to a scrap of cloth and leave it in an area where flies are a problem.
• Stick 'em up. Flypaper may not be pretty, but it works…to make your own, dip strips of brown paper in a mixture made from ¼ cup corn syrup, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Let the strips dry overnight, then hang them with thread around your porch or deck.
Looking to revitalize your deck or patio? HGTV/DIY Networks host and spokesperson for the Thompson's® Water Seal® brand Jeff Wilson has good news: with a just a little thought and planning, you can turn a tired old deck into the deck of your dreams…and you don't need a lot of space to do it.
With over 25 years of home building and remodeling experience, Jeff shares the ideas and tips that he and his wife used to redesign and build their own deck and patio.
Know what you want.
When Jeff and his wife, Sherri, bought their Ohio home in 2001, they knew the deck would have to change.
"The deck was built around 1980, back when the deck trend really got started," Jeff explained. "At that time, people didn't treat their decks. This one had been painted a glaring white that was peeling at the time we moved in…and with the sun shining on it, it was way too bright."
Additionally, the existing deck was very narrow.
"There was no room for a table or anything," Jeff recalled. "You could line people up in chairs side-by-side, facing out into the yard, but they couldn't sit across from each other and converse."
Put thought into the project.
Jeff and his wife put a lot of thought into what they wanted from their deck – something he feels should be a part of every renovation.
"Ask yourself, 'how will we use the space?" Jeff says. "Knowing what you want – a place to entertain or an outdoor sanctuary – is paramount."
Like many homes built in the 1940s, Jeff and Sherri's house is quite small. With two children and a fondness for entertaining, they decided their deck should provide the extra space they needed and wanted both for relaxing and entertaining. They carefully planned an outdoor space that combined both functions by separating the outdoor space like they did their indoor spaces, with different areas reserved for specific activities: conversation, dining, cooking, gardening, etc.
"Size it to the function."
When planning the size of their new deck, Jeff and his wife laid garden hoses along the ground and arranged their outdoor furniture within the lines they made before committing to a plan.
"We knew we wanted to be able to do a lot with our deck, but we also knew we didn't want it eating up the entire yard, so planning how we'd use the space was essential," he says.
Jeff observed that some homeowners feel that "bigger is better" when it comes to planning a deck. He disagrees.
"Whatever material you use – be it flagstone or wood – needs to be maintained, so the larger the surface area, the greater the expense. Our new deck wound up being about 400 square feet all told, and only ten feet wide off the back of the house. That's okay – the size isn't nearly as important as the functionality."
And with a smaller deck surface area, Jeff and Sherri were able to spend more on better materials.
"We went with cedar boards instead of treated lumber. Cedar is not only prettier and tougher than pine, it's better when you have kids because it's not been treated with chemicals."
He also points out that, because he saved so much on deck materials, he was able to afford a higher end grill with a side burner. And with the materials left over, he was able to install a potting table with a roof that could double as a buffet.
Jeff's deck before the renovation.
The finished product.
The end result of Jeff and Sherri's project is an outdoor space that combines a screened-in porch at one end, a dining area and an outdoor kitchen with a brick oven that doubles as an outdoor fireplace in the middle, and a potting bench/buffet at the far end. The space is also made up of different levels with a flagstone floor that ties it all together.
"Every little part of the deck has a function," Jeff explains, "and we can change it around if we need to."
Get creative!
Jeff encourages homeowners to get creative with their decks.
"Over the years, outdoor living has evolved. We now seek to bring our indoors outside, seeing features formerly reserved for the interior of a home – such as televisions and gas fireplaces – as ways to enhance our outdoor spaces. You may want things that are different than what we wanted, but that's all right – the sky's the limit. Don't be afraid to get creative and use your imagination. And you can do it without breaking the bank."

Sure to attract garden fairies and pixies to your yard, this Miniature Fairy Garden Ivy Furniture Setis a fun and whimsical addition to flowerbeds and planters alike.
Tell your fairies to put on their jeans, tie back their wings and grab their garden gloves because it is time to get planting! Spring is the perfect reason to make a garden for all your fairy homes and accessories that you have collected over the winter. Here is a brief overview of soil and plant selection to get you off on the right fairy foot.
Starting with the right soil is important to give your plants the best environment to grow in. Not all soil is equal and the easiest way to judge is by looking at it. There should be composted material with small barks bits. It should look alive, dark, rich and full of organic matter. Dirt is the lifeless, gray sandy stuff between the cracks in the sidewalk.
If you are planting edibles (plants that you eat) in your fairy garden and you are not sure of the soil quality, you can get it tested first or ask an experienced gardener for advice. If you are planting ornamentals, like small trees and perennials, you don't have to be as cautious, but you still should see a nice blend of organic matter in the soil.
Your soil should have a good blend of compost and bark bits. For this container,vermiculite, the white bits, are added to improve the drainage of the soil.
A brand new garden is an exciting project because you can design it exactly the way you like, but still spend a bit of time on the soil before you begin. There are different types of garden soil in your garden bed: sandy, loamy or clay, for example. This depends on where you live and whether your garden bed has been cultivated, or used as a garden before, or not. Topsoil is meant for adding to garden beds, but compost may be a better choice to introduce more organic matter to the soil.
If the ground can be worked, meaning you can shovel it and loosen the soil; you may only need to add some compost to improve the quality for planting. If the soil is hard clay, consider building on top of the clay by using raised beds. Lasagna gardening is another ideal method for building raised garden beds on lawns without needing to rip-out the grass first.
The Gray Fairy Garden Cottage is nestled into an in-ground garden. The creamy Adirondack Furniture Set is a pretty combination with the blue trim.
Potting soil is engineered to have everything that a plant needs to keep the plant healthy. Choose plain organic potting soil with out any added fertilizers or moisture-retention. Different kinds of plants like particular types of potting soil mixes. A cactus, succulents or sedums, for example, like dry roots and will need a different kind of potting soil than a spruce or pine tree where the roots of these conifers need the soil to stay damp. This information is usually noted within the plant's care instructions on the tag. Group plants with the same soil requirements together in the same pot. Note that topsoil, or soil from your garden bed, is not a substitute for potting soil.
Most plants like a bit of air around their roots. If the regular potting mix does not contain enough drainage material like vermiculite or perlite, you may need to add a handful or two to your soil mix. Providing a good blend of well-draining soil now, will help keep your potted miniature garden together for years.
The Miniature Stucco Fairy Garden Cottage with Thatched Roof is a great match with the Woodland Fairy Garden Set.The colors of the cottage and the woodsy-ness of the furniture add a country feel to this miniature scene.
Once you start to look for plants for your fairy garden, you will find a lot of different choices that may be a little overwhelming. Narrow down your plant selection by deciding where you want to plant your garden. If you are working in-ground, is the garden bed in shade, part shade or full sun? If you are planting in a pot, where will the pot be placed? Indoors? Outdoors in part sun? Now you can go find the trees and plants to suit that location.
Indoor plants are different than outdoor plants for most regions. Indoor plants are tropical plants that need to stay 60 degrees or above all year, and they adjust their growth spurts and flowering time by the amount of daylight. Outdoor plants need the changes in temperatures to know when to go dormant, and when to grow. The golden garden rule, is "right plant, right place," follow this rule for the best success.
Use Sedum cuttings or small rooted drought-tolerant plant starts for your miniature planters because that little amount of soil won't be able to say damp. Keep them out or the rain, so the plants don't drown.

I get it and am very faithful about taking my Revlimid and Dexamethason as prescribed. However a question that no one seems to be able to answer: With the 21 days on and 7 days off of the Revlimid about the third or fourth day into the seven day off period I get these nasty headaches almost like clockwork sometimes lasting a couple days.

"So do you want to come over? I made chili last night," I'd say as we stood in our perpetually drooping knee socks waiting for NJ Transit bus #163 to pick us up outside our school.
Though undoubtedly a tempting offer, the girls always hesitated because they knew that accepting could potentially mean having to take a second bus home afterwards if they could not find another ride. Sara rarely needed more than a promise that she could nap on my bed to accept. (Always a remarkably sleepy girl, we nicknamed her "the dormouse" after the mouse in Alice in Wonderland who was always falling asleep in strange places.)
"I'll make you ginger tea with nutmeg..."
To this day, the promise of ginger tea is often enough to lure Vanessa from her apartment in Queens to mine in Harlem.
Ginger Tea with Nutmeg
I learned this recipe from my mother who used to make it for me whenever I was feeling sick. This spicy tea is easy to make, and because of the strength of the root, can last you up to two days as long as you keep adding fresh water to the pot. Ginger Tea is perfect for sharing with friends on a cold winter's night and is definitely worth the long trip home (even on public transportation).
1/2 cup thinly sliced or chopped fresh ginger. (No need to peel.)
5 cups of water
brown sugar or honey to taste
1. Combine the water and fresh ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 to 45 minutes, being careful not to let the water evaporate. Note that the longer you simmer, the stronger and spicier the tea.
2. When the tea reaches your desired strength, remove from heat and strain into big mugs.3. Sweeten each serving to taste, and pour in just enough milk to turn it white. Finish off with a dusting of freshly grated nutmeg and serve.
*If you would like to skip the milk, a squeeze of lemon mixed in with the honey will
serve to brighten the flavor.

"What's excellent about this house. The better question is what's not. 1. It's a very short walk to the Silver Star lift and Cafe - an excellent place to grab an afternoon drink (beware the low alcohol draft beers though). 2. The hot tub is well maintained and with amazing views of the mountain. 3. The pool table is a great touch. 4. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. 5. The entire place has been updated nicely. Our family loved this house and will likely make it an annual destination. Great work Joe!"
"Location, location, location! Minutes from lifts and bus stop. Family of 4 very comfortable in this unit! Updated kitchen with everything you need, comfortable beds, washer/dryer. Owners were exceptional to work with-even sent us restaurant recommendation. On site property management very helpful. We enjoyed our stay in beautiful snowy Park City."

Thanks to our alumni and friends, our Ball State Bold capital campaign has surpassed our $200 million goal, more than the total of our last two capital campaigns combined.
An important part of Ball State Bold is planned giving. We have $59 million in commitments, exceeding our $50 million goal. A large portion of those funds go to scholarships.
Not only do scholarships assist students with college expenses, they help Ball State attract students like Rhodes Scholarship finalist Abigail Shemoel, '11, whose career goal is to work internationally on the issue of adequate and sustainable shelter for millions of the world's poor, possibly with the U.N. Centre for Human Settlements.
She is a landscape architecture major, earned a Ball State Presidential Scholarship, and is currently a Udall Foundation undergraduate scholar at Ball State. She is also a past recipient of the National Garden Clubs Scholarship and already has studied the effects of environmental management on ecotourism in Costa Rica. She recently completed an internship in Argentina with the Foundation for Sustainable Development. She is spending her final semester as a Ball State student conducting additional research on sustainable community development in Brazil.
Exceeding our goal in the toughest economy since the Great Depression is an impressive accomplishment. However, our work is not yet finished. In the final months of the campaign, we are still seeking gifts for other campaign initiatives such as creating more immersive learning experiences and increasing participation among alumni.
Goal 4, Supporting Objective ii: By 2012, complete a comprehensive campaign with a goal in excess of $200 million.
Goal 4, Supporting Objective ii: By 2012, achieve 16 percent alumni annual giving participation.
Goal 4, Supporting Objective ii: By 2012, increase unrestricted private gift support to $1.5 million annually.

3 3 of my all time fav movies but such a horrid transferPosted: 07/06/2010I would give the movies themselves 10 stars if i could as movies they are perfect, i was really excited to see these on blu ray remastered and in HD. However i was sick when i found the transfers were either the same as the recent DVD release or in the case of FAFDM to be worse, so specklely and very washed out some scenes looked worse than overs on the blu ray putting the remastered dvds and they were so much better less grain speckles and very few scratches. Please stick to the DVD's if you have them and if you appreciate then in best format BLU Ray will let you down on this release

Our Pattern for Holiness
We are often tempted to trivialize God's demand for holiness and instead look to somebody or something other than God as the standard by which we measure ourselves. Remember, though, that the Lord has pronounced judgment on His image bearers ...Read More
Sanctification Demanded
John Calvin, in his commentary on today's passage, notes how many people might view the Lord's treatment of Nadab and Abihu as overly harsh. Yet, he writes, "If we reflect how holy a thing God's worship is, the enormity of ...Read More
The High and Holy Place
The Lord is transcendent — high above us as our Lord and Sovereign. Yet this is not a distant and wrathful lordship, for in Christ we no longer have to fear eternal judgment. In fact, Jesus has made us friends ...Read More
That Which Cannot Be Touched
We are not a people defined by Sinai and the covenant given there; rather, we are adopted into God's family under the new covenant and enjoy the privilege of being able to come into His presence. We enter this presence ...Read More
God's Fuller Revelation
Legalism is the inevitable result when we fail to remember that the cross was the high point of redemptive history, not the covenant ratified at Sinai. As we meditate on the cross, we recall the glory seen in His death ...Read More
At the Foot of Sinai
We must not try to find answers to questions God has never answered (Deut. 29:29). The Lord has told us all we need to know in this present sinful age, and trusting Him involves us acknowledging that there are some ...Read More
The Holiness of Christ
One compelling evidence for the deity of Christ is that those who saw Him in His majesty reacted as Isaiah did when he was granted a vision of the Lord (see Isa. 6:1–6 and the passages for further study today). ...Read More
The Meaning of Holiness
How do you feel when the name of the Lord is taken in vain? Do you shudder in fear for those who do so, or has this common sacrilege become unnoticeable to you? Perhaps you are guilty of profaning His ...Read More
The Insanity of Luther
God's demand for holiness is absolute. We have to be holy just as He is holy (Lev. 19:2), and we deserve His wrath when we fail. All men merit this judgment (Rom. 3:23), but in His grace the Father has ...Read More
Holiness and Justice
From delaying Adam's eternal death after he sinned to the grace shown the church today, it is clear our Father gives mercy to the unworthy. But we must never use this grace as a license to sin or believe we ...Read More

messenger tote
by CLARE V.
While working in French television, Clare Vivier began making bags as a result of her busy travel schedule. She discovered a gap in the market for laptop cases that were functional yet stylish, inspiring her to create her own bag. The concept quickly parlayed into her now eponymous line of handbags and clutches that are as stylish as they are utilitarian. She attributes her sense of chic simplicity to her strong connection with France. Clare's design principle is timeless but her aesthetic is bold, always taking into consideration the elegant tension between modern detail and classic shapes.

Through Environment California, thousands of citizen members are teaming up with a professional staff to stand up for the places we love and the environmental values we share.

Rain and thunderstorms late Saturday night through late Sunday night
Emissions from wood burning by people in developing countries have a smaller climate impact than previously thought, according to a new study.
Losing power in the dead of winter can be panic inducing, and rightfully so.
Snow & Ice Management Association offers these helpful tips for removing snow safely.
You no longer have to head to the Arctic Circle to experience a bar made entirely (or sometimes mostly) out of ice.
If you live nearby, any of these would be an excellent way to spend your weekend.
For animal lovers, seeing a dog tied up outside elicits a visceral response.
When temperatures drop below zero, Americans lace up their skates and take to the rink.
Whether your dog is a Nordic breed with a thick coat or a cold-weather newbie, there are some things you should know before turning him loose in the snow.
Dec 5, 2012; 5:00 AM ET Now that it's cold enough to hit the slopes, you may want to look more closely at what materials your winter sports gear is made of. As it turns out, not all waterproofing is created equal.

Have you ever noticed strains of Jeffersonian populism in Dirty Harry? Or Lincoln's institutional confidence in Big? Jim Cullen has.
Cullen, a former Harvard professor who currently helms the History Department at the Fieldston School in New York City, sees historical undercurrents in a lot of films. So many, in fact, that he's written a book on the subject. Sensing the Past: Hollywood Stars and Historical Visions explores American history as seen through the lenses of six A-list stars: Clint Eastwood, Daniel Day-Lewis, Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, and Jodie Foster. He even assigns each actor a historical counterpart – in Eastwood's case, it's Thomas Jefferson; for Meryl Streep, it's pioneering feminist Betty Friedan. Cullen looks at each actor's career and explains how their choices of roles reveal their individual notions of history, and how those notions align with those of their analogues. Daniel Day-Lewis, for example, is the consummate champion of the frontier.
EW spoke with Cullen about the book and the inspiration behind it. Read the edited interview after the jump:

God to be praised. (1-11) His people encouraged by his power. (12-22)
Verses 1-11 Holy joy is the heart and soul of praise, and that is here pressed upon the righteous. Thankful praise is the breath and language of holy joy. Religious songs are proper expressions of thankful praise. Every endowment we possess, should be employed with all our skill and earnestness in God's service. His promises are all wise and good. His word is right, and therefore we are only in the right when we agree with it. His works are all done in truth. He is the righteous Lord, therefore loveth righteousness. What a pity it is that this earth, which is so full of the proofs and instances of God's goodness, should be so empty of his praises; and that of the multitudes who live upon his bounty, there are so few who live to his glory! What the Lord does, he does to purpose; it stands fast. He overrules all the counsels of men, and makes them serve his counsels; even that is fulfilled, which to us is most surprising, the eternal counsel of God, nor can any thing prevent its coming to pass.
Verses 12-22 All the motions and operations of the souls of men, which no mortals know but themselves, God knows better than they do. Their hearts, as well as their times, are all in his hand; he formed the spirit of each man within him. All the powers of the creature depend upon him, and are of no account, of no avail at all, without him. If we make God's favour sure towards us, then we need not fear whatever is against us. We are to give to him the glory of his special grace. All human devices for the salvation of our souls are vain; but the Lord's watchful eye is over those whose conscientious fear of his name proceeds from a believing hope in his mercy. In difficulties they shall be helped; in dangers they shall not receive any real damage. Those that fear God and his wrath, must hope in God and his mercy; for there is no flying from him, but by flying to him. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us; let us always have the comfort and benefit, not according to our merits, but according to the promise which thou hast in thy word given to us, and according to the faith thou hast by thy Spirit and grace wrought in us.
Psalms 33:1-22 . A call to lively and joyous praise to God for His glorious attributes and works, as displayed in creation, and His general and special providence, in view of which, the Psalmist, for all the pious, professes trust and joy and invokes God's mercy.
1-3. The sentiment falls in with Psalms 32:11 (compare 1 Corinthians 14:15 ). The instruments ( Psalms 92:3 , 144:9 ) do not exclude the voice.
3. a new song--fresh, adapted to the occasion ( Psalms 40:3 , 96:1 ).
play skilfully--(Compare Psalms 15:1-5 , 16:1-11 , 21:1-13 ).
4-9. Reasons for praise: first, God's truth, faithfulness, and mercy, generally; then, His creative power which all must honor.
6. In "word" and "breath"--or, "spirit," there may be an allusion to the Son ( John 1:1 ) and Holy Spirit.
9. he spake--literally, "said."
it was--The addition of "done" weakens the sense (compare Genesis 1:3-10 ).
10, 11. In God's providence He thwarts men's purposes and executes His own.
heathen--literally, "nations."
12-19. The inference from the foregoing in Psalms 33:12 is illustrated by God's special providence, underlying which is His minute knowledge of all men.
13. looketh--intently ( Isaiah 14:16 ).
15. fashioneth--or, "forms," and hence knows and controls ( Proverbs 21:1 ).
alike--without exception.
considereth--or, "understands"; God knows men's motives.
16, 17. Men's usual reliances in their greatest exigencies are, in themselves, useless.
17. On the war horse (compare Job 39:19-25 ).
a vain thing--a lie, which deceives us.
18, 19. Contrasted is God's guidance and power to save from the greatest earthly evil and its most painful precursor, and hence from all.
20-22. waiteth--in earnest expectation.
21. his holy name--(Compare Psalms 5:12 , 22:22 , 30:4 ). Our faith measures mercy ( Matthew 9:29 ); and if of grace, it is no more of debt ( Romans 11:6 ).

Attica, Ohio (Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2006) - Without the fans there would be no racing. As a way to say thanks for supporting the sport, Attica Raceway Park will host Fan Appreciation Night Saturday, Aug. 26.
Thanks to sponsorship by the Baumann Auto Group - with locations in Fremont, Tiffin and Port Clinton - fans can enter the grandstands for the low price of $10 and witness the excitement of the fire-breathing, alcohol-burning 410 sprints, the side-by-side racing of the 305 sprints, the door-banging action of the limited late models and the three-wide racing of the dirt trucks. They can also enjoy a hot dog for $1 and popcorn for 50 cents.
Following the hotlap sessions, "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue will throw open the pit gates and allow fans to meet the drivers and crews before the heat race action hits the track at 7:30 p.m. Grandstand gates will open at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
