Dimitrios Vlahos
Dimitrios "Jim" Lambros Vlahos, 75, died February 25, 2014 in Greenville, NC. Mr. Vlahos was the son of Lambros and Sofia from Lamia, Greece. He was the youngest of eight children and the only one to move to America. He made that move with his wife Nerantzia "Rita"; his two sons, Lambros and Hristos; his mother-in-law, Maria Alexopoulos; his brothers-in-law, Van Alexopoulos and Aris Alexopoulos along with their wives and children. They made their home on the Outer Banks in 1974. After ten years of hard work, Jim and Rita became the proud owners and operators of Kitty Hawk Pizza in 1984, serving pizza and gyros for twenty years. He retired from full-time work in 1993 and began building his retirement home in Greece. He spent three years working tirelessly on that home and then spent the last eighteen years entertaining family and friends there with his homemade wine and delicious souvlakia. He continued to live four to five months every year on the Outer Banks mentoring his sons in their own successful business on the beach.
In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by two brothers, George and Hristos; and one sister, Athanacea. He is survived by his wife of forty-nine years, Nerantzia Alexopoulos Vlahos; son, Lambros Dimitrios Vlahos and wife Linda of Southern Shores, NC; son, Hristos Dimitrios Vlahos and wife Marlee of Kitty Hawk, NC; grandsons, Dimitrios Vlahos, Yanni Vlahos, Nicholas Vlahos and Thomas Vlahos; four sisters, Yana, Betsy, Magdelena, and Morfo of Greece.
Funeral services will be conducted Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at Twiford's Memorial Chapel. Burial will follow in West Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery.

The first time I met your father he left a lasting impression. I remember his smile and laughter. Roxanne and I were at Corolla on the 4th of July and we were serving pizza at the 4th party in the middle of a large field. Your dad was trying to show me how to slice the pizza with that big curved blade and we had a little bit of a language issue. He laughed as he educated me on the use of the pizza cutter and the correct size to cut. I'm sorry for your loss. Keep the memories close to your heart.

I met Jim in the mid 80's. He was a man of a kind smile and a honest look. It was a pleasure to visit and talk to him for few minutes at least once a week for years. He enjoyed a wonderful life and great family of which I admire and I am respectful and learning from. He accomplished much and always remained humble and warm. Your presence, Jim, will be felt in the heart of your sons whom I am proud to call friends. My prayers and intentions are for the family. May we always appreciate what you stood for and always remember all you taught us. Amen

I remember when your father used to come to the kitchen in the middle of the biggest rush and started preparing things like pretzels or cakes from the pizza dough, calmly, with his own pace. Often he showed me tricks e.g. how to clean pizza pans quickly. Though we did not speak much due to the language barrier, I considered him a friend, a warm person always willing to help, always sharing a smile, advice or some food goodies. Happy that I have met him. My sincere condolences

I am so sorry for your loss. Although, I do not know your family personally, I would like to share some encouraging thoughts from the Bible. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3-4 states, And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Very soon now, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death. May these words give you a new hope.

Sunkist's California valencia crop volume this season is expected to be a normal 10 million to 11 million cartons, and the company will bring in small volumes of navels and cara caras from South Africa and Chile.
Sunkist continues to offer lemons year-round from California and Arizona.
St. Laurent, Quebec-based-based Fisher Capespan is a major figure in the South African deal, importing citrus to Canada and the U.S., said Paul Marier, senior vice president of sales and marketing.
The company has a strong navel program that will continue until the end of September, and the midnight variety, a seedless valencia, the last three weeks of October.
The firm also has a good clementine program, he said, and a 3-year-old grapefruit program that has been growing every year.
Grapefruit production still remains relatively light, but the firm should have enough of the fruit to service a few accounts well. The eight-week program will start in early July.
Fisher Capespan also will import navels, clementines and some lemons from Chile, where growers faced tough weather challenges last year.
"This year, the weather has been kinder to them," Marier said.
DNE's navels and clementines from South Africa should arrive in Philadelphia the third week in June said Tom Cowan, South African citrus manager.
Navels will continue strong through August and finish by mid-September, when the seedless midknight variety will be available until early November.
Clementines will peak in June and July and continue through August when late mandarins arrive.
South African clementines should be larger than those from Chile, have a high brix level and "should be good-eating fruit," Cowan said.
Navels will be about one size smaller than last year, heavy on 72s then 88s and 64s with about 25% of the crop size 56s or larger, he said.

Hello there, The grade of my neighbor's house is about 20 inches higher than mine. I want to put a fence along that property line, but there was never a retaining wall built between the two properties. My neighbor has thrown a lot of concrete chunks and cinder blocks, along with some timbers, against his property line in a half-butted attempt to keep his property on his side of the line, but there is no way I am going to build a fence against that mess! My neighbor doesn't have two pennies to rub together, so I'll be footing the bill and labor on my own. I am wondering what my best, and least expensive, options are. I need a retaining wall about 100 feet long and 20 inches high. I want to either put a chain link fence with privacy screening on top of the wall, or directly in front of or behind it. I have six large Italian Cypress trees (20' tall and more) along about 50' of the property line. I don't want to lose them, since they are worth quite a bit in equity. These trees are about 2' from the property line. One idea I had was to run a concrete retaining wall to bisect the property line right up to where the trees start, and then come out in front of the trees with stack-able block, making a large planter bed. Then I would fill up that planter bed with 20 inches of dirt to match the level of my neighbor's property. The fence would then be incorporated into the top of the concrete retaining wall on either side of the planter bed, and then just be built at ground level behind the trees where the soil was built up. Important to note: I live in a VERY windy area, and the wind can blow extremely hard on that northern side. It blew over a fruitless mulberry tree in my backyard recently (trunk was 10 inches in diameter). I thought about pouring a concrete footing and retaining wall on HIS side of the property line (butted right up to it), and then try and put my fence right in front of it on my side of the line, but how would I be able to get my fence posts down deep enough without damaging the footing, which would probably be sticking out from the front of the wall several inches? I'm telling you, thinking about this has kept me up several nights. Given all of that information, what is the best way (and least expensive) to build the wall, and be able to either attach the fence to it, or integrate the fence with the wall in such a way that the force of the wind won't knock the whole thing down? Or, if those are not good options, would it be better to place the fence in front of or behind the wall? And I would like to keep all of this as close to the property line as possible -- there is only 10' 4" of space between my house and the property line where the fence will be, and 10' is the minimum distance we can have in my town. I would be most grateful for any advice. |

Follow-Up Postings:
One thing I forgot to add is that I live in Southern Utah, in the desert. Very hot and dry, not much moisture. I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine that saturation behind the wall wouldn't be an issue. Also, I guess frost heave would not be an issue. Hardly ever freezes here, and it doesn't go deep. |

20" high with all of the conditions that you describe will need the services of a professional. "Just" a 20" tall wall holds back tons of soil and must be engineered properly. You will need to dig down low enough to pour a footing, and you can not pile any dirt at all on the roots of your trees or you will smother them. Yes, you will need to account for drainage. Even in a dry climate. Sudden rains that are common in dry climate areas are actually riskier than are uniformly moist soil conditions. You will also need to get a permit and have the whole thing inspected. It's for your safety, and that of your neighbors. If not built correctly, a retaining wall can kill someone when it collapses. |
Do an accurately dimensioned, rough plot plan of your property and have an eng. design the wall. |

I would incorporate the steel fence posts into the poured wall, it will never move. That is if chain-link is the fence you go with. All good points from Green and snoonyb. Drainage is probably more important in the dessert than here if what I have seen during those flash floods in Arizona occurs where you are. Man I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. |
I really appreciate all of the advice. We are situated on a hill, near the top -- in 10 years, flooding has never been an issue, but it has with people who live further down the road. I talked with over a dozen people over the last few days (one an engineer at Sunroc), and it seems like the winning idea is a 8" - 10" deep footing, 12" to 16" inches wide, with a 6" block wall or concrete wall on top of that, centered on the footing, with rebar uprights every three or four feet, as well as at least two bars the length of the footing and at least one bar lengthwise in the wall. No soil added around the trees! Just running the wall in a straight line down the property line. And most of the builders I talked to today were all for either putting the posts directly in the wall as it is being poured (to extend down into the footing, too), or insert them into the block to a depth of 24" and mortar around it, as well as filling in all the cavities that have rebar. Several of them said it wouldn't hurt to fill all of the cavities with cement, but at that point, I might as well pour a concrete wall! One builder said that if, later down the road, I grow tired of chain link, I can always take the fabric down, saw the posts off flush with the top of the wall, and just continue on up with more block. Sounds like a cool option. One thought I had was this -- if I build the wall on my neighbor's side of the property line (he doesn't seem to care one way or the other, especially since I'm doing all the work and paying for it), is it then his wall? Not sure about how that would affect things. I took something useful from each reply. Again, thanks for your help! |

As for building anything on a neighbours property well that requires a legal answer which I can't offer with confidence. But from experience I can tell you it is definitely not something I would do. You current neighbour may be fine with it, but if he sells next week the new neighbour might not be. Imagine the new guy asking you to move the wall. Or tearing it down because after all it's on his property. What if some kid falls off the wall and is injured? Search property line issues on the buying forum here. All sort of nightmares to read about. If anything I would build it 6" on my side to prevent any issues. I won't let my neighbour build on my side no matter how good the intentions are. |

Drainage is the most critical portion of the wall construction, and it's what your plan is missing. You will need getotextile fabric, gravel, drainage tubing, and some place for that drainage tubing to exit. through the wall. Without weakening it. And, of course, the permit and inspections from your city. To get that permit from your city, you will also have to have plans that they can look at, probably stamped from an engineer or LA. Those plans WILL require drainage to be accounted for in the cutaway. |
"Posted by matt_m (My Page) on Sat, Jun 8, 13 at 0:11 I really appreciate all of the advice. We are situated on a hill, near the top -- in 10 years, flooding has never been an issue, but it has with people who live further down the road." Engineering is an exact science, based upon assumptions, and in that light an engineer is required to provide a design that budgets for and meets the minimum design criteria for the area in which you reside. "(one an engineer at Sunroc)" I would urge you to seek the advice of a private professional civil engineer. " the winning idea is a 8" - 10" deep footing, 12" to 16" inches wide, with a 6" block wall or concrete wall on top of that, centered on the footing, with rebar uprights every three or four feet, as well as at least two bars the length of the footing and at least one bar lengthwise in the wall." With the exception of the 2nd piece of rebar in the footing, this is a typical "garden wall", not a retaining wall. Generally speaking, a wall less than 2'6" in height "is not" considered to be retaining. No soil added around the trees! Just running the wall in a straight line down the property line. "putting the posts directly in the wall" Which would be ok, except that you have something called "cost", which is the required embedment of rebar in masonry walls, which is 2" and cannot be attained using 6" block. "I might as well pour a concrete wall!" Not hardly! "One thought I had was this -- if I build the wall on my neighbor's side of the property line (he doesn't seem to care one way or the other, especially since I'm doing all the work and paying for it), is it then his wall?" If you are, indeed, contemplating this, you need to obtain and easement based upon the final wall design, because if you take a "disney land" approach to this, if you have a lender for you property, you'll find them defending ONLY their intreats and NOT YOU. There are prescribed and restricted "drain fields" which are designed to protect "downstream" home/properties from from natural occurring moisture from affecting that habitability. "Not sure about how that would affect things." You, in addition to an engineer, might want to have a chat with a real estate attny. |
Thanks for the additional advice. I was talking with my wife last night, and we are of the same mind -- just build it on our side of the property line, avoid the hassle of any legal issues. What I meant by a 6" wall, is that it will be 6" thick. The wall itself will be at least 2' high, but the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking of just going with a 6' high block wall, and just build it at my leisure over a period of time. Thanks again for the help. |
Building a 6" wall on your property line should follow a surveyors map. You still have the hydrology to address and while upstream is the desired method, which will involve your neighbor, you can leave open head joints addressing the resulting drain field within 3' of your dwelling. A 6" CMU wall is 6" OD with 1" walls and 4" ID. Centering a 2" chain link fence post leaves 1" to place a 5/8" rebar, which leave 3/8", far from the 2" cost required.The rebar coarse in the top row of block is solid grouted and called a bond beam. Permits require periodic inspections and have time limits as well as renewal fees. Cold joints result in weak structures. Deteriorated rebar will result in remedial action required. |
Thanks, snoonyb. What I meant by a 6" wall, is that I am now thinking of foregoing the chainlink on top of a short retaining wall, and just going with 6" block for the entire height of the wall (6'), with pilasters. I didn't include drainage in the discussion, but I have a couple of neighbors who built block walls around their property, and we discussed the drainage pipe, and gravel backfill. They actually showed me their plans (approved by the city) to give me a better idea of what they were talking about. What's cool is that one of the neighbors had to retain even more dirt than I do (3' instead of 2'), so I'm thinking his plan should be more than adequate for my wall. |

Police Looking For Dangerous Suspect
St. Cloud Police are looking for a suspect who was involved in a felony assault incident.
The incident originally happened on Thursday, November 1 at the 1800 block of 10th Avenue Southeast. The victim of the incident received substantial but non-life threatening injuries.
The suspect has been identified at 32-year-old Adalberto Dirclo. He is described as Hispanic; about 5'10" tall with goatee style facial hair and is slightly heavier with a belly.
Based on the information that was provided to investigators, Dirclo is originally from Mexico and was living illegally in the United States. Dirclo was working at a Chinese restaurant and it is believed that he fled the area to an unknown location, possibly to work at a different restaurant.
Dirclo should be considered dangerous and anyone who comes into contact with him should use caution and immediately call local law enforcement.
Anyone with information on Dirclo's current location is asked to contact police at 251-1200.

UCL: London's global university
- First English university to admit women as full degree students
- First English university to admit students of all beliefs and ethnicities
- 210 clubs and societies with 18,000 memberships sold
- 49% of the student body volunteer on external community projects (2011-12)
- Students from 150 countries and 100 staff nationalities
- 20% of students study abroad as part of their degree
- 21 modern languages taught at UCL
- Central London location
Critical and Creative Thinkers
Each of UCL's degree programmes is rigorous and intellectually challenging. The academic experience we offer exposes our students to new ways of thinking, requires them to search for solutions to real-world problems, and encourages them to pursue their own lines of enquiry. We believe that this approach creates graduates who are trained to think critically and creatively, to respect differences of option, and who are prepared to tackle the most difficult of problems.
UCL students' research work has real impact outside of academia
"I undertook an internship at the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST), where I prepared a four-page briefing for parliamentarians on personalised medicine, presenting a scientific issue to non-specialist politicians in a concise format.
"I hadn't considered working for parliament before, but thought I'd apply as I'm interested in how science is perceived by the public - and those who represent the public. I proposed a briefing on the topic of racial profiling for drug development, which was then expanded to include all forms of personalised medicine, drawing on my PhD research into the reproductive hormones of Bangladeshi men.

"The UCL Centre for Applied Global Citizenship Studies enables me to teach Applied Studies to undergraduate and postgraduate students. The course integrates a short applied placement for students in an NGO, governmental, community or business organisation within a supporting framework of seminars and coursework.
Students embrace the mix of theory and practice and realise their academic and personal research interests in the context of non-academic professional skills development. They learn to solve problems relevant to the issues they care about."

Research-led teaching is the cornerstone of the student academic experience
"At UCL, students of astrophysics have the opportunity to undertake real-life reserach. A funded programme at the Mill Hill observatory provided students with the opportunity to observe extrasolar planets.
The aim of this work was to engage students directly with astronomical research in a topical, fast-growing field. The results of the successful observation - led by undergraduates - were published in a refereed journal. This experience of collaborative research promoted team-working and communication skills, provided a focus for innovation and creativity and raised ambition by delivering useful science results."

In "Moral Tales," a Tapestry of Faith program
To keep children engaged, you may wish to move back and forth between questions that help them review the story and scenarios that engage their application of the story concepts. Both are provided in Leader Resource, Golden Rule Role Play Scenarios.
If you have told the story, "The Good Samaritan," in a participatory manner with some of the children taking roles, draw out the volunteer actors' experiences.
Gather children in chairs set in a semi-circle. Review the story, "The Good Samaritan," with these questions:
If you have done the participatory version of the story, ask the two children who played the people who didn't stop to help, "How did it feel to be acting out this part and not to help the wounded man?"
If you have told the participatory version of the story, ask the child who played the wounded man how he/she felt.
If you have told the participatory version of the story, address these questions directly to the child who played the Samaritan.
Choose one or two scenarios to suggest to the group. You may lead a whole group discussion of a scenario, or ask for volunteers to role play. Use the sound maker to start and stop role play action so that you can interview each child participating in the role play.
Introduce the role-playing by saying:
Situations like the one in "The Good Samaritan," where someone needs help and we have to decide whether to help or not, happen all of the time. I will describe a situation to you and you tell me how you would like to be treated if this happened to you, and how you could act with caring and compassion if it happened to someone else.
Choose one or more of these scenarios for children to discuss and/or volunteer to act out in a role play.
Ask the children if they can think of other situations in which they have had to help someone they didn't know very well, or have been helped by someone they didn't know very well. Ask how these situations felt.
To close this activity, remind the children that, like empathy, compassion is relating to how another person or living being feels and opening your heart to their need.
There may be children in the group who have special needs and often require others' help, or children who are frequently bullied. Try to be sensitive to how this discussion may feel to them, particularly and how exposed it may make them feel. Try to choose examples that could happen to any child in the group.

Hi, does replacing windows create a lot of dust/mess inside? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Mon, Mar 15, 10 at 12:40
Depends entirely on the type of window existing, installation application, and installer. |
- Posted by julieofminn (My Page) on Sat, Mar 20, 10 at 23:37
Yes, if you are having full replacement. Think about cutting through sheetrock, this results in a lot of dust spray. Then the window with this rough exposed broken up sheetrock is carried through the house to the outdoors. Ask your workers if they are protecting your floors. Usually they think in terms of the front door area and the small area next to the window. Make it clear what your concerns may be. Be ready to stop workers and ask them to protect your wood floor or remove a special rug before they carry something covered with sawdust across it. When we had full window replacement I was very thankful I took the time to pull furniture away, cover with plastic table cloths or sheets, anything. Everything within a few feet was covered with a fine white dust. Also remove fragiles from general area and even from nearby walls if you have large picture windows going out. There is a lot of noise and vibration if a large picture window is cut. If you have a small window in a bedroom, just the area within 3' gets a dusting of sheetrock dust. Good idea to take pictures of the before, the time the old window is out, then the after. That way you have a record of how things were if any questions come up about damage or quality of how things were. This is based on whole house replacement experience. |

Zombies! Probably the most popular of all undead.
Brainless, fragile yet relentless creatures of the night. They have a unquenchable desire to consume brain matter, to make their victims another member of their undead horde. Apt to losing a limb (or two) on their way to beat your brains out with their bare hands. They will get you, eventually.
Their appeal lies in our morbid fascination with our own mortality. The zombie is our nightmare of the reality of life after death, trapped in a body that is slowly, irrevocably returning back to the mother earth from which it sprung. Ironic that the zombie often arises from that very soil in the graveyards that we so conveniently place next to our homes, not knowing of the danger that lies within.
Zombies quite often act as fodder in today's RPG, but they are so much more than that. Treat them within your gaming with the respect they deserve, make them part of a scenario where the player characters are having to complete a quest whilst the hordes slowly home in on them. Give them them a chance to taste your player characters flesh…
The world is not short of Zombie miniatures, but a few manufacturers models stand out from the err, hordes:
- Mantic Games – Kings Of War, Undead Zombie Regiment
- Malifaux – Zombies galore
- Studio Miniatures – Modern Day Zombie Mobs

You may have heard that using shampoo on dogs is a normal, safe thing to do. Sometimes this may be right, and sometimes it may be wrong. There is great debate upon the question of whether it is safe to use human shampoo on dogs. The best way to answer this question is to look at the difference between humans and dogs (of course only when it comes to shampoo).
Human skin is acidic on the ph scale, while dog skin is slightly alkaline. Using adult human shampoo on dogs can be very irritating to their skin due to the chemical make-up of the shampoo, including certain fragrances. As with humans, some dogs may be allergic to the fragrances or some of the other ingredients that come in human shampoo. Human shampoo can also dry out dog's skin.
There are some exceptions to this advice of course. Human baby shampoo can be used on dogs because it is chemically formulated to be neutral on the ph scale. You still might want to start out with just a little bit of the shampoo and use it on only a small area of your dog's fur and skin. See if there are any reactions to the shampoo before using it on your dog's entire body. And always remember, with any type of shampoo to avoid getting it into your dog's eyes.
Some things to keep in mind concerning bathing your puppy or dog include the temperature of the water and the frequency of baths. Dogs do not tolerate hot water in the same way humans do. Keep the temperature of the water cooler than you would be comfortable in. Always test it first with the more sensitive skin on your elbow or wrist, just like you would before putting a human baby in the bath. Also, unless your dog gets extremely dirty, you really only need to bathe him or her approximately once a month. Of course, if you notice that your dog needs it more often, bathe him or her more often, but pay close attention. If your dog gets flaky skin all over its coat, and he or she is itching frequently, you might want to keep track of how often you are bathing your dog.

Based in Chattanooga, this is the first year the organization has included two spots for women from Bradley County.
Inductees were notified toward the end November.
"She said they had received several letters nominating me. I had no idea this was going on," Figlestahler said. "I was shocked. I cried. I couldn't believe it."
Figlestahler said she had heard about the honor for years while she was working in Chattanooga.
"I never thought in a million years I would be nominated," Figlestahler said. "I can think of so many in Bradley County who are so, so deserving."
Fuller said when she received the call letting her know she was an inductee she thought it was a mistake. This is the first year an inductee has written a recommendation letter for some one else that was chosen in the same year.
"I thought it was a mistake because I had written a letter for Sissy Figlestahler," Fuller said. "I was very surprised and felt very honored because there are so many more people here who definitely deserve it far above me."
The honor has been an annual fundraiser for the American Lung Association in Tennessee for more than two decades.
Ten women from Chattanooga are named as inductees with a Women of Distinction for the year being chosen at the organization's annual luncheon on April 29. Inductees sell tickets to the event to raise money for the organization.
"I am really looking forward to spending time with the other girls. I have met them all now and they are amazing," Fuller said.
Eventually The American Lung Association hopes to have separate events for the two counties.
"April 29 will be the 29th anniversary of Chattanooga's women of distinction," Figlestahler said.
According to the American Lung Association in Tennessee website, "The Woman of Distinction sets herself apart through civic, cultural, philanthropic, human service, environmental or professional commitments as well as her awareness of image and personal style."
Figlestahler is a radio talk show host on Woop-FM every Monday morning, a Cub Scout den leader, a past present of Cleveland's Junior Auxiliary and a member of the board of trustees for Broad Street United Methodist Church.
She instructs a free yoga class at the church on Wednesday.
Recently, Figlestahler has also become involved in helping Foundation House prepare to launch to serve pregnant teens through housing, job skills and counseling.
She has also been involved with the Jewish Cultural Center in Chattanooga and the Make a Wish Foundation.
"And I'm not even Jewish. I just like the Jewish Cultural Center. It's a great organization," Figlestahler said.
Since the birth of her first son eight years ago, she has been a stay at home mom. Recently though, Figlestahler has been instructing yoga part-time at a studio in Ooltewah.
Through her work with Junior Auxiliary, Figlestahler volunteered with local organizations such as the New Hope Pregnancy Center.
Figlestahler said she enjoys volunteering because it helps her stay busy.
"There is so much that I want to do," Figlestahler said. "My husband is really supportive, so anytime I get a great idea about something he is always like, 'Go for it.'"
She and her husband, Andy, have four sons.
Fuller has been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for more than 15 years.
As a "wish granter," she talks with terminally ill children to discover their wishes.
She is on the board of the Sunrise Rotary, the missions board of Broad Street United Methodist Church and the advisory board for Family Promise Bradley County.
She also assists with the annual banquet for the Bradley Initiative for Church and Community.
In the past, she has served on the Cleveland/ Bradley Chamber of Commerce board.
"The thing that I really enjoy the most is the mission trips I do," Fuller said.
Haiti and Honduras are her most frequent destinations.
Fuller has made many trips to Ca'ira, Haiti with her husband Gary since 1996.
"We like to call it a children's village rather than an orphanage," Fuller said.
After the first trip, the couple returned feeling overwhelmed by the needs of the country. Yet, they determined they could make a difference for the children of the orphanage.
Sometimes the couple organizes a group of volunteers to accompany them. Other times they go on their own.
"Sometimes we just go to be with the kids," Fuller said.
The Fullers latest project is working to find people to sponsor 18-year-olds who have completed high school to learn a trade or skill. Some of the girls from the orphanage have been able to attend a two–year program at hospitality school
"They learn how to cook, bake and waitress and hotel reception work, how to make beds and clean hotel rooms," Fuller said.
They are working to find people to sponsor these teenagers' education.
Fuller's next trip to Honduras will be with Sunrise Rotary and members of Broad Street United Methodist Church.
Both Figlestahler and Fuller have lost a friend to lung cancer.
For Figlestahler, it was an anesthesiologist who made decisions that saved her life during complications having her fourth child.
"I had to have a lot of care after he was born. I had to have physical therapy. I had 20 units of blood," Figlestahler said.
She said she came close to death and "had an out of body experience."
"After that experience, Bill and I became close friends," Figlestahler said.
Figlestahler said she also has a heightened awareness of the dangers of smoking and lung disease because her father smoked three packs a day.
"Lung cancer kills more women than breast cancer and cardiovascular disease combined," Figlestahler said. "And the reason why is most people are diagnosed at such a late stage."
Although the anesthesiologist had been healthy and never smoked, his lung cancer was so far along when it was discovered he was given six months to live. He lived 14 months.
Fuller said she recently lost a friend to lung cancer. She was a healthy eater and never smoked. She lived six months after her diagnosis.
On Jan. 10, inductees met in Chattanooga for the first time. Fuller said she is planning to host the girls at her boutique.

The Haim sisters, Danielle, Este, and Alana, announced the North American leg of their tour, starting in California and eventually reaching Canadian soil in Vancouver. With their most recent album debuting a few months back in September, the trio of sisters are out promoting Days Are Gone as we speak. Their ambitious European tour finishes off the year and transition them into the next with stops in Germany, Belgium, England and more. In addition to this, Haim will also make appearances in Japan, Australia and be starring as the musical guest for this weekend's show of Saturday Night Live.
Originally from the L.A. area, the sisters were born to music-loving parents who encouraged performances especially in the indie rock Californian circles. Haim's members were previously featured on a slew of different mediums involving movie soundtracks, Kids' Choice Award soundtracks, Jenny Lewis' tours, and Cee-Lo Green tours. As all sisters were heavily involved in performing, it was in the end of the last decade that the sisters decided to take their careers as Haim more seriously. Next they would be featured as supporting artists for big names such as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Mumford & Sons, and Florence and the Machine. But it was the Strokes' Julian Casablancas that really encouraged Haim to hone down their art of crafting music. The girls are currently signed with Jay Z's Roc Nation which released Days are Gone. Having been proven incredibly successful, Haim's most recent LP sold 90,000 copies the first week it was released.
With an incredibly strong start, Haim success is anticipated to grow and grow as the band evolves. Haim's list of tour dates can be found here.

A year later at the same championships in Palma di Majorca she went one place better with a silver in the same event, also winning a bronze in the 50m butterfly. In 2006 she also made her international senior debut at the Budapest European LC Championships, where she won her first international senior medal – a silver – in the 4x100 m freestyle relay, three weeks before her 16th birthday. Since then she has been an established member of the virtually unrivalled Dutch freestyle relay team.2007 was a landmark year for Ranomi as she earned her first World LC Championship medal (bronze) in the 4x100m freestyle in Melbourne, and then broke her first world record as part of the same relay team at the Dutch Open Swim Cup. The year ended on a high with her first senior international gold medal – and another world record – in the 4x50m freestyle relay at the European SC Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. Before 2008 was four months old, Ranomi and her relay teammates had two more gold medals and two more world records – first, in the 4x100m freestyle at the European Aquatics Championships in Eindhoven, and a month later in the 4x200m freestyle at the World SC Championships in Manchester. An Olympic gold medal and Olympic record followed in the 4x100m freestyle relay in Beijing, before she broke her first individual national record at the Eindhoven Swim Cup in the 50m backstroke (LC). Like the previous year, 2008 ended with more strong performances, this time at the European SC Championships in Rijeka, Croatia – gold medals in the 4x50m freestyle and 4x50m medley relays, and an individual bronze medal in the 100m freestyle. To cap it all, the relay team broke the 4x100m freestyle world record yet again at the Dutch Short Course Championships in Amsterdam.Things just kept getting better for Ranomi and her teammates with three more relay world records in 2009 – the 4x100m freestyle at the World LC Championships in Rome, and the 4x50m freestyle and 4x50m medley at the European SC Championships in Istanbul. The year also marked Kromowidjojo's arrival as an individual competitor on the international podium – in Istanbul she won silver medals in both the 50m and 100m freestyle events.Ranomi's individual achievements of 2009 were simply precursors to her growth in 2010, when she exploded on to the freestyle sprint scene with four gold medals in the 50m and 100m freestyle events. At the European SC Championships in Eindhoven, she swam the fastest-ever textile-suit 50m freestyle (just 33 hundredths of a second outside the world record), and was less than half a second outside the world 100m mark. At the World SC Championships in Dubai, she bettered her Eindhoven best-ever textile performance, edging to within 0.12 seconds of the 50m record, and broke the championship record at the 100m distance. For good measure, her relay team won gold in both the 4x50m freestyle and 4x50m medley events in Eindhoven, and in winning gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay in Dubai, broke the championship record while coming within 0.33 seconds of their own world record. Her anchor leg of the 4x50m medley in Eindhoven at 22.70s was the fastest ever 50m free split, matching her hi-tech suit Istanbul time of the previous year. She ended 2010 with the fastest 100m freestyle time, but was unfortunately unable to take part in the European Championships in Budapest due to a bout of meningitis picked up at a training camp in Tenerife.Going into the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai, Ranomi is well-placed to medal, with the year-to-date's fastest 50m freestyle, fifth fastest 100m freestyle, and fourth fastest 50m butterfly.Ranomi is coached by the world-renowned Jacco Verhaeren, who led Dutch swimming legend Pieter Van den Hoogenband to three Olympic gold medals, and is also the man behind the phenomenal Dutch women's relay teams. With the London Olympics now looming on the horizon, it seems Ranomi's prodigious talent is blossoming under Verhaeren 's experienced hand at just the right time, as she starts to add world-class individual accolades to her remarkable relay records. She might just be the one to beat come next year's Summer Olympics.BiographyWhen she was three years old, Ranomi Kromowidjojo's parents bought her a swimming costume. She put it on, jumped straight in, and promptly sank to the bottom of the pool. She thought that it (the swimming costume) was enough to make her float, but since it didn't, her mother had to jump in pull her out. Far from being spooked by the episode, Ranomi rose gasping to the surface … asking for more. And so began the career of the Dutch girl with the unpronounceable surname.With a lineage that includes grandparents from Java (Indonesia) and a father from Suriname (South America) – both of which have Dutch colonial links in their history – Ranomi is allowed to have an exotic name. In fact her first name is also unusual, created as it was by her parents. Uncommon names aside, she had a fairly 'normal' European upbringing in Groningen, Holland, before moving to Eindhoven, where she trains with coach Jacco Verhaeren, sporting director of the Dutch swimming team and the National Swimming Institute. (In June 2011 Verhaeren was named sports coach of the decade by NLcoach, the Dutch coaches knowledge and network organisation.)Ranomi's associations with diverse cultures extend beyond just those of her forebears, even if they have nothing to do with her bloodline. The tattoo on her arm, for instance, is the Chinese symbol for water. This in itself is not surprising. What is rather curious, however, is that the symbol is made up by the western symbols for "1" and "K". The connotations are obvious, and indicative of her ambitions.She's also learning Italian, a language and country for which she has developed a particular affinity. The musicality of the language, along with the "full-bodied" way with which its citizens speak it, have captured Ranomi's imagination, and when food and fashion are thrown in, she can't resist.Even when she contracts life-threatening diseases, she finds exotic places to do so. In 2010, on a training camp in Tenerife, she came down with viral meningitis, was confined to a hospital for a week, and missed the European Championships in Budapest. At first she didn't realize how sick she was, and with the severe headache she wasn't able to move her head, or even cry. When she heard that there could be physical, motor-related side-effects, she vowed to work methodically to get herself back to good health as soon as possible. The first thing she did upon leaving the hospital was get in the pool to make sure she hadn't "lost" anything. In spite of it being a painful and strange experience, she was relieved to find that she could still swim.If anything, her recovery has made her even stronger. Within short order she was back to her best, conquering her opposition at the year-end Dubai World SC Championships. One step back, two steps forward, she says. Rather a scary assessment for her rivals, one might say. For when a twenty-year-old with 2010's fastest 100m freestyle, recovering from a life-threatening bout of viral meningitis, reports that her sickness helped her move forward rather than backward, they (her rivals) might well agree – albeit very nervously – with her own personal reflection on the positive outcome her ordeal: That's weird.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Portia, a McKinney Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in McKinney, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in McKinney.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in McKinney already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a McKinney breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in McKinney paves the way for another one to be saved.

NDP MLA Jagrup Brar takes Raise the Rates poverty challenge
As a member of the legislative assembly, Jagrup Brar has a very comfortable life. In the last fiscal year, the NDP representative for Surrey-Fleetwood earned a salary of $101,859 and collected a capital-city allowance of $14,590 to offset the cost of staying in Victoria for part of the year.
But on Sunday (January 1), Brar will start a one-month experiment to simulate what it's like to be on social assistance. In a recent interview with the Georgia Straight at the B.C. NDP convention, he explained that he will try to survive for a month on $610, which is what a single employable welfare recipient receives in this province. The first 16 days of January will be spent in Surrey and he'll live in Vancouver for the rest of the month.
"The key here is that I want to experience firsthand what life is like to be a poor person in B.C.," Brar said. "So having said that, I made the commitment to make this as real as possible."
Brar, the Opposition critic for small business, mentioned that he will start his adventure at the Surrey Central SkyTrain station on New Year's Day as a homeless person. From there, he will seek services to help him find shelter, rather than living at home with his wife and two children.
Brar said that he plans to set aside $450 for housing in January. That's because after conducting some research, he concluded that it's not possible to find cheaper accommodation. In addition, he will spend $42 on transit passes and $25 on a cellphone.
"I have to be searching for a job, technically, because I'm a single employable individual," he revealed. "If I search for a job, I have to be mobile, so I have to have a bus pass. That's also why I have to have a phone."
After these expenditures, Brar will be left with $3 a day to cover everything else, including food. By living on the same amount as a welfare recipient, he said he will better understand how poverty affects people. Brar, an immigrant from India, also wants to bring awareness of this issue to the broader population.
"It's hard for me to believe, coming from a third-world country, that we have in this province 137,000 children living below the poverty line," he said. "It's hard for me to believe that we have roughly half a million people below the poverty line."
B.C. hasn't raised its income-assistance rates since 2007. An employable single parent (whose child is three years or older) receives $945.58, including a $570 shelter allowance.
Brar revealed that he decided to live like a poor person for a month in response to a challenge from Raise the Rates, which is a coalition of community groups concerned about poverty. He mentioned that his 12-year-old daughter urged him to do it because it might make a difference. "My wife, of course, is concerned about my health, but other than that, she admires that I'm doing it," Brar stated.
A spokesperson for Raise the Rates, Jean Swanson, told the Straight by phone that her group issued a dare in May to all MLAs, including Premier Christy Clark and NDP Leader Adrian Dix, to live on the welfare rate for a month. Brar was the only one who accepted.
"We're pleased he's going to do it," Swanson said. "It won't really be like living on welfare, but it will give him a little taste of what it's like to be poor. We're hoping it will raise consciousness about how low welfare rates are and about some of the punitive welfare rules—like not being able to keep a cent of what you earn, and not being able to keep a cent of child support."
Swanson added that her group has found Brar a single-room-occupancy hotel room for when he's in Vancouver, but she wouldn't reveal the location.
She noted that a former NDP politician, Emery Barnes, was the last MLA to live on a welfare recipient's income, doing this for seven weeks in early 1986.

Does my AOL Mail account get deactivated if I don't use it for 90 days?
Does my AOL Mail account get deactivated if I don't use it for 90 days? |
Yes, an AOL Mail account does get deactivated after 90 days of disuse. If you log in within 30 days after those 90 days have elapsed (i.e., within 120 days total from the last time you logged in), your account is reactivated and you won't notice any difference. Everything will be as it was the last time you opened your account, and you may continue using it as you normally would. If you log in after the 90 days have elapsed, and after the 30-day grace period has elapsed, and find that your username and password still work (which is not guaranteed), your email account will be empty. Any saved data -- email, photos, attachments -- will be missing, because it will be deleted. For questions like, "Why do I see the welcome message in my AOL Mail account?", or "Where did my email go?", or "Why is my email missing?", this is the answer. As stated in AOL's Terms Of Service, if a user doesn't log into their account for 90 days (i.e., if an account is unused or dormant for 90 days), it is deactivated: "Your username and account may be terminated if you do not sign on a Service with your username at least once every 90 days. If you are registered for fee-based or term-specific Services, we will not terminate your username or account unless they are subject to being terminated for some other reason... After we terminate or deactivate your account for inactivity, we have no obligation to retain, store, or provide you with any data, information, e-mail, or other content that you uploaded, stored, transferred, sent, mailed, received, forwarded, posted or otherwise provide to us (collectively "posted" or "post") on the Services and may allow another user to register and use the username. We also have no obligation to remove any public data, content, or other information that you posted on a Service or reactivate your account." For the full details, take a look at AOL's complete Terms Of Service. |

11 Mr S. M. Bruce, High Commissioner in London, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister
Cablegram 514 LONDON, 4 July 1940, 9.57 p.m.
Appreciation of Middle East in Z.168 [1] in my view is mere
statement of obvious facts within the knowledge of any reasonably
competent person. It stresses the importance of our position in
the Middle East and in paragraph 8 shows what that position hinges
on. In subsequent paragraphs it indicates the possibility of our
not being able to maintain our position in various vital areas
referred to in paragraph 2 and in paragraph 9 it states the
necessity of strengthening our forces in the Middle East but
indicates little prospect of its being possible to do this for a
considerable time. It, however, gives no indication of what the
plan would be in the event of our having to retire from any of the
vital points mentioned. For example, paragraph 4 shows that we
have forces in Egypt sufficient only to cope with Italy so long as
we retain a fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean. That Alexandria
might be rendered untenable as fleet base if Italy reinforced in
the air by Germany. In the event of these reinforcements being
provided Alexandria becoming untenable and Egypt having to be
evacuated no indication is given as to where it is contemplated
that forces now in Egypt would be withdrawn.
This is only one example but there are many others that will occur
to you.
The present arrangement is that I am to discuss this appreciation
as well as the Far Eastern questions raised in Dominions Office
telegram No. 228 [2] with Chiefs of Staff Committee.
Please send me any specific points you would desire me to raise in
this discussion.

Description & Objectives
Intended Audience
This conference is intended for primary-care physicians, family practice physicians, internists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, speech pathologists, audiologists and other allied health professionals who encounter otolaryngology patients.
Needs Statement
Ear, nose and throat (ENT) complaints are the third most common reason primary-care physicians are consulted by their patients, accounting for 20-50% of patient encounters. Primary-care physicians have identified otolaryngology as an area where additional training is needed in order to appropriately manage patients with otolaryngic disorders. This symposium is designed to provide knowledge that will close the gap between current diagnostic methods and treatment modalities used to treat ENT patients in the primary-care setting and the most up-to-date methods that are currently available.
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of the symposium, the participant will provide better patient care through an increased ability to:
- Recognize the effect of sinusitis on other diseases and patients' quality of life; provide appropriate diagnosis and management of chronic, acute, and recurrent sinusitis and identify patients who would benefit from referral to a specialist for care
- Review common modalities of in vivo and in vitro testing for inhalant allergies; describe the physiology behind common allergic reactions and explain the benefits of both sublingual and subcutaneous immunotherapy
- List clinical classification of types of asthma; determine appropriate therapeutic strategies for the primary-care setting and discuss low-intensity, high-yield strategies for the management of asthma
- Describe the principles and current modalities used in radiologic evaluation of disorders of the head and neck and discuss the indications, applications and limitations of conventional and high-tech screening methods for otolaryngic disorders
- Review common skin lesions that are likely to be encountered by primary-care physicians, identify lesions that need biopsies and discuss therapies on the horizon for difficult to treat lesions
- Discuss methods for evaluation of patients who present with hearing loss, review conductive hearing loss versus sensorineural hearing loss and discuss management options for patients with hearing loss
- Review Medicare regulations for referral of patients for Audiology services and explain the differences between various hearing aid dispensing models including medical, retail, and direct to consumer models
- Describe the differences between various swallow tests: MBS, esophagram, and FEES/T and explain the role of otolaryngologists and/or speech pathologists in the evaluation of swallowing disorders
- Identify some of the more common causes of hoarseness and review the current guidelines and recommendations for the evaluation and treatment of hoarseness
- Review the epidemiology of thyroid nodules, discuss workup of a thyroid nodule and review treatment of thyroid nodules
- Describe the molecular tests for the evaluation of thyroid nodules, provide an overview of the pathologist's evaluation of thyroid nodules and discuss categorization of cytology

Ever since seeing The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and now the new Hobbit movie, people have wanted Hobbit homes. It's hard to imagine a dwelling with more natural cozy appeal than the little homes from J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novels. Round front doors, low ceilings, and curved woodworking galore; these places blend in with their natural surroundings, providing a place many people would be seriously happy to come home to. Now architect Peter Archer has created a Hobbit inspired home for life-long J.R.R. Tolkien fans in Pennsylvania, one which channels the beauty and spirit of the low-set homes, while providing a practical space to enjoy. [Read more…]

A Hobbit Home for Under $5000
With nothing more than hand tools, friends, family and a desire to avoid an expensive, unsustainable home, Simon Dale built his own. As a staunch advocate for low impact living, and with only a meager income, 32 year-old Dale decided to build a home in a hillside in Wales, one that he and his family could own outright and was sustainably hand-built directly in the middle of the forest. The design has an uncanny resemblance to Hobbit homes in the Lord of the Rings films, which has contributed to its rise in popularity. [Read more…]
