This is the second bird house I purchased, I was so pleased with the first one for me that I bought a second for my gardening friend. Great product.

A very nice birdhouse. However, I wish I had known when I ordered it that it did not come with plants for its green roof (I sort of figured, but the description did not say for sure), and it did not come with any sort of instructions about which plants or soil are suitable for the roof.

"This is the best cranberry sauce I've ever had. I've made it about 4 times since Thanksgiving. I do not cover the dish and it turns out fine.

"I was excited about this recipe when I read it, and served it for a wedding shower tea. I thought it was fair at best. It had kind of a weird slimy texture, the color was unappealing (I tried to pretty it up with paprika, etc.) I tried adding lemon which helped some, and I used the rosemary option for the herbs.

"not sure what I did wrong.The dough was way too sticky and I had to keep adding flour.My yeast was fresh but this dough never rose.I added herbs and garlic powder and it was still very bland. Can someone help please? I love the fact that it does not take time but my son said he would not eat it again"
"Thankyou. I made this and absolutely love it! I am not a big bread eater but after making this, I had to control myself not to eat the entire loaf of bread.I used italian dried spices and put a little fresh basil in as well. This was a nice change to the usual olive oil dip I have made in the past."

Oh, I do not mind swearing in the least, as everyone around here has

euphemisms to use instead of or around a well thought out
incorporation of raunch.
But really, his constant use of "****," "****," "****," was not just
sexist, but had no flair, wit or intelligence.
Besides...I kept getting the feeling that he really would have loved

York Service Center
The York Service Center is located at 2139 White Street in West York and was dedicated October 26, 1996 as the administrative headquarters for the former York-Adams Area Council. It houses a portion of the council's professional and administrative staff, as well as meeting facilities.
The York Scout Shop, which has recently been renovated and expanded (as of September 3, 2011), is now operated by the BSA's Supply Group and carries the full line of BSA supply merchandise, uniforms, literature and recognitions. Catalog and custom-design orders are also available through the York Scout Shop.
The York Scout Shop is open weekdays from 9 AM to 6 PM, with extended hours on Wednesday evenings until 7 PM, and from 9 AM until 3 PM on Saturdays. The York Scout Shop is closed on Sundays.
The telephone number for the York Service Center is (717) 843-0901 or (800) 569-5197 toll-free outside of the York area. To fax materials to the York Service Center, the fax number is (717) 845-6338.

For the York Scout Shop, the direct dial telephone number is (717) 885-9039 and the fax number is (717) 845-2048.
One change to note regarding the York Scout Shop, now that it is being operating by the BSA's Supply Group and not the council, is that York Scout Shop employees are no longer able to handle transactions or accept paperwork on behalf of the council. There is a drop box available in the lobby of the Service Center where items for the council (event or camp payments, membership applications, etc.) can be left when the York Scout Shop is open, but the council itself is not.

Alexandria, Museum of
Alexandria, Museum of
Ancient centre of Classical learning at Alexandria, Egypt. It was a research institute, organized into faculties and headed by a president-priest, with a renowned library. It was built near the royal palace either by Ptolemy II Philadelphus c. 280 BC or by his father, Ptolemy I Soter. The best surviving description is by Strabo. In AD 270 its buildings were destroyed, although its educational and research functions seem to have continued until the 5th century.

Tun also brings the spa staff into the jungle to collect herbs and berries, shave small pieces of bark from the trees, and dig roots from the sun-dappled undergrowth. "Just beware of the chaya," Tun warns. "If you don't ask the plant's permission before picking it, it will sting you." Back in her kitchen, the group works with mortar and pestle to blend the harvest into potions for treatments that guests claim have cured everything from insomnia to sexual lassitude.
In a similar fashion, gardener José Villanueva incorporates elements of the surrounding jungle into the resort's lush landscape. Ramóns (the "trees of good vibrations") line pathways, and the round, white fruit of the ciricote tree is cooked up as dessert. In perhaps the most thoughtful example of caring for nature, Villanueva recently transplanted an ailing potted tzintznalli palm "because it was unhappy after its spouse had died," he says. This is all precious knowledge, says Blevins, "because when you lose a culture, you also lose an ecosystem."
And Domínguez isn't stopping here. Now that Esencia offers one of the most authentic experiences short of living in Doña Bena Tun's village, he's hard at work on Hacienda San Antonia Chable, in Mérida. Scheduled to open in November 2011, it will be a spa destination for guests who want to steep themselves in the local culture and nature. He smiles as he reveals a secret that really isn't that big of a surprise: "Doña Bena will be resident healer."

Sambor Village
Kompong Thom's luxury resort
What we say:
This French-owned hotel emerges like a mirage of luxury inside dusty, rundown Kompong Thom. Unfortunately, on closer inspection, it's not as lovely as it first appears. Though the pool, lined with cerulian tile and surrounded by a wooden deck, looked refreshing and sparkly, the rooms aren't quite worth how much they cost. Although the hotel opened in early 2009 and hopefully it will be polished overtime (or prices will come down). The grounds were quite unkempt and smelled like manure, and the bungalows, 19 in total, lacked finishing touches. They're still quite pleasant, with terracotta tile floors, four poster beds, bathrooms with hardwood floors and sunken bathtubs, big TVs and free WiFi throughout. There's a big bar next to the pool and a cosier restaurant on the second floor of the stilted main building, serving steaks, pastas, and some Vietnamese dishes. This is certainly the place to stay if you're looking for high-end accommodations in Kompong Thom -- it's the only one. Prices include breakfast.

Succinct and pithy saying that is in general use and expresses commonly held ideas and beliefs. Proverbs are part of every spoken language and folk literature, originating in oral tradition. Often a proverb is found with variations in many different parts of the world. Literate societies dating to the ancient Egyptians have collected proverbs. One of the earliest English proverb collections, The Proverbs of Alfred, dates from c. 1150–80. In North America the best-known collection is probably Poor Richard's, an almanac published 1732–57 by Benjamin Franklin.

Welcome to Teach with Picture Books.
While some of you may have arrived here from my How to Teach a Novel blog, others may have arrived here from Teaching that Sticks, or through my many Squidoo sites such as Interactive Reading Sites, Interactive Math Sites, How to Teach a Novel, and, of course, Teaching with Picture Books.
The main purpose of this site is to help teachers, librarians, tutors, and homeschooling parents in grades 3-8 use picture books to enhance their instruction. If you'd like to know the reasons why you should be using picture books in your classroom, visit the sister site called Teaching with Picture Books Across the Middle Grades.
While Teach with Picture Books is not meant to serve as a review site, I frequently make picture book recommendations to teachers, homeschoolers, parents, and tutors interested in this approach, through both this website and the frequent workshops I present. If you would like me to consider your book for possible inclusion in future posts, please email me. Before you do, however, you should read my disclosure statement.
If you are a publisher of more general teaching resources, I would be happy to consider your submissions (sites, publications, services) for review at my other blog for educators called Teaching that Sticks.
Have a suggestion for a site, teaching resource, or publication on the use of novels? Email me! I'd also be happy to link to your related site.

The Indian Blue peafowl was one of the most favorite Solomon's species of birds. Peacock mating is something breeders are especially familiar with; aviaries are another word they'll surely know.

This research report examined ways to improve services to families affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
Between October 2011 and March 2012, 29 semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with parents and carers of children with FASD on their experiences and recommendations to improve service delivery. Respondents were from all states and territories (except the ACT); from major cities (n=10), regional areas (n=13) and remote or very remote areas (n=6).
26 women and four men participated in the interviews. Participants ranged from 34 to 68 years in age, with a median of 50 years. The majority (n=21) cared for children under 18 while eight participants reported on caring for adult children, aged 18 to 32 years.
Thirteen participants were foster parents, three were biological parents, four were adoptive parents, five were relative carers and four were guardians.
The research found that:
To improve services to families affected by FASD, there is a need to:

Final Thoughts
DDR-2, like most new technology that is here to stay, is something that has to be proven over time. DDR so far has the upper hand, as its lower latencies and bandwidth matching performance shows that higher bandwidth in theory isn't always better, but to be frank it is hard to draw definite conclusions from this due to a number of factors.
First we are dealing with first generation DDR-2 modules as well as first generation DDR-2 motherboard chipsets. DDR didn't fully blossom until the third and forth generation chipsets started to take advantage of this new technology, and they have had since 1999 to the present day to perfect this technology, and perfect it they have.
Second we are dealing with only one platform that has a nature of starting out slow and building up, after all, Pentium 4 when it first came out wasn't any faster than the Pentium 3, but we can't say that today, with the performance of the P4 now being at the 4GHz doorstep we see that the architecture is developed into a usable source, which is what DDR-2 must do.
We can only hope that the upcoming 1066FSB Pentium 4 and 925XE chipsets have better optimisations for DDR-2, as the extra bandwidth of DDR-2 at 533MHz is simply wasted, where it should be used for graphics card use or other high bandwidth systems, after all the P4 has its 6.5GB/s, the rest on the current 9xx chipset just wastes the remaining 2GB/s.

We've been inspired this week by an amazing book by Eric Carle. "I See A Song" is a beautiful book, which transports the reader on a magical musical journey. As a violinist introduces himself at the beginning of the book he explains; "I see a song. I paint music. I hear colour"
As you start to read, the black & white illustrations of the violinist fade, & Eric Carle's wonderful artwork transports you through a colourful masterpiece.
I managed to find a copy of this book on Amazon, & Minnie loves studying the illustrations & describing which shapes & objects she sees on each page.
Minnie is fascinated by the ocean, & as soon as she saw a large art canvas she wanted to paint the sea! We collected paint & a collection of materials to paint/create with. To give Minnie space to explore the paint I added an old plastic kids food tray (that I picked up in a secondhand store). It has a selection of large & small compartments which is great when using different sized painting tools.

[38] Adenovirus Pneumonia – An Under-Recognized Cause of Morbidity in Children
J Pinczewski, RJ Castellani. University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD
Background: Adenovirus (AV), a ubiquitous non-enveloped, icosahedral double-stranded DNA virus is a common cause of human infections. 52-serotypes of AV have been identified, and these cause morbidities ranging from upper respiratory tract infections (RTI) to gastroenteritis. In immunocompromised patients and young children, AV infections are often much more severe and may include lower RTI and meningoencephalitis. We present an autopsy case performed on a 2-yr old girl who was admitted with respiratory compromise, which progressed to bacterial pneumonia, sepsis, and death 8-days after admission.
Design: The autopsy was performed using the Letulle method. Resected tissue was fixed in 10% buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections (5μm) were cut and then stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Electron Microscopy (EM): Fragments of formalin-fixed lung tissue were cut into 1-mm cubes. These were then fixed in 4F1G for 4 hours, postfixed in osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in graded alcohols, and embedded in epoxy resin. The sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and examined on a JEM 1200 transmission EM.
Results: On autopsy, viral cytopathic effects manifesting primarily as smudgy nuclear chromatin were identified within pneumocytes, while EM studies demonstrated hexagonal 90 nm viral particles containing nucleocapsids in Figure 1 and within pulmonary endothelial cells in Figure 2. Both the light microscopic and EM findings were typical of AV, indicating that the decedents respiratory failure, which initiated the cascade of events that lead to her death, was likely due to AV pneumonia.
Conclusions: ADV is an under-recognized cause of severe morbidity and mortality in children and immunocompromised patients. This case emphasizes the difficulty in clinical diagnosis of ADV pneumonia, the need for clinicians to maintain adenovirus infection in the differential diagnosis, and the importance of autopsy examination in general for case characterization.

A spiffy new residence which was freshly baked and delivered into our inbox via Design Milk is this striking modern sensation from Fitt De Felice. Elida De Felice and Kylie Fitt have been in the business for over 20 years and been published in loads of really important books and architectural collections. Both ex- SJB Architects who set up their own gig in 2007, they were also the brains and the energy behind bringing the Pecha Kucha scene in Melbourne.
For those of you who have not encountered the Pecha Kucha scene, it goes a little something like this….Take 20 creatives from design, engineering, architecture, hairdressers, artists – whomever's got the energy and the willingness to share. Put them in a room and ask them to present 20 slides with no more than 20 seconds per slide to share with their peers. The Fitt De Felice duo launched the cross-disciplinary design forum after Mark Dytham, of Tokyo's Klein Dytham Architecture (KDa), asked them to bring his not-for-profit concept to Melbourne. And here you thought 20/20 was only about the cricket….
Their latest project 'Decontra' is also featured in the Thames + Hudson book 'A Place in the Sun', but you can check out more pics on their website here. We love this project and we've chosen this shot of their striking bathroom to show you because well, as much as we'd like to bang on about architecture and design, we suppose it should have something to do with stone…
So here it is, the money shot. A stunning granite with striking markings throughout the works in with the clean lines to provide a sense of movement on the floor. Like it? << insert Eco Outdoor ad here>> Well, it just so happens that we have a similar high end granite called Lagano which provides the same clean modern look. You like?

TMW get a lot of information from agents and people connected to possible deals who'd like to give potential transfers a little more publicity. Every day they have many exclusive interviews with agents and their coverage has really gone up a level over the last couple of months, it's not just regurgitating rumours anymore.
TMW announced that they were given some serious information regarding Arsenal negotiators and officials landing in Milan to talk about the possible transfers of two Serie A stars. They reported that Gunners were set to meet Alessando Lucci; as the agent was in Milan. They primarily wanted to speak about the possible transfer of Juventus star and a Montenegro International Marko Vucinic.
The sources have also reported that Juan Guillermo Cuadrado will also be discussed, a player Arsenal were strongly linked with at the end of last year. Arsenal made contact with Lucci about the Fiorentina man a while back and have continued to ask about him.
Gianluca Di Marzio said at the time that Arsenal tried to sign the Cuadrado in the summer. He claimed a bid of €30m was offered by the Premier League club but this was turned down. There's no talk of further bids being made for Cuadrado, or a first bid for Vucinic, but if Arsenal have sent someone to Milan to speak with Lucci then it shows there's interest there.

Unfortunately, revelations of this sort seem beyond a disturbingly high percentage of pop-music journalists, many of whom exhibit an unseemly defensiveness regarding the very stuff about which they write or comment. It's likely that these critics are first attracted to rock and roll and its innumerable offshoots for a lot of the same reasons that appeal to the average listener: its vitality, its brevity, its sass, even its air of planned obsolescence. But once they devote themselves to the championing of the form, they become unable or unwilling to acknowledge that these qualities contribute to the joys of the genre. Instead, they spend their time and energy maintaining that rock at its finest is not just art, but high art--an endeavor that should be judged by the same standards applied to civilization's finest efforts in literature, painting, sculpture and the like.
Truth be told, some pop platters do deserve to be measured by such a yardstick. Others don't, but this failing alone doesn't mean they lack worth. In fact, many of them are of value precisely because they couldn't be further from prototypical masterpieces. Convincing insecure music scribblers to admit as much is quite another matter, however. They seem congenitally unable to keep praise in perspective, and when they allow their prose to float into the stratosphere, the consequence is the critical inflation and distortion of music that doesn't need to be puffed up to sound good. In short, such pomposity misses the entire point of rock and roll.
Which brings us to Elvis: Walk a Mile in My Shoes--The Essential 70's Masters. A five-CD set released by RCA, Elvis is the third of three massive collections intended to document Presley's work respectfully, and it's the one most likely to test the patience of even true believers. Why? Hits appeared with less frequency and made considerably smaller impacts during the period covered by the collection (roughly 1970 to just before Presley's 1977 death). Moreover, the evolution of Elvis's music mirrored the changes in his body: It became heavier, slower, less lithe, more turgid. By the end, Presley was seen by an entire generation as a joke in bellbottoms, and while this view is too harsh (it suffers from a distressing humorlessness), it's not without its merits.
As a result, conceding this point, or at least grappling with it open-mindedly, would seem a requirement for anyone hoping to put Presley's Seventies sounds into a historical context. But that's not what those who put together 70's Masters had in mind. Dave Marsh, a thoroughly blinkered Elvis commentator, wrote the enormous essay that dominates the set's accompanying booklet, and his goal is unapologetically revisionistic: He wants to demonstrate that recordings from Presley's final years are every bit as substantial and significant as those made in the King's Fifties heyday. His best Seventies cuts, Marsh writes, "establish two things. The first is that Elvis continued to be a great popular singer, able to tackle all manner of songs...The second is that as he matured, Elvis's music became more and more personal and revealing, so that even while he seemed utterly immune to any influence from the personalized and confessional approach of rock singers like John Lennon and Bob Dylan, he managed in his own fashion to use the additional artistic space their work opened to expose deeper and more intimate parts of himself."
Even Marsh seems to recognize that hooey like this can't stand alone, so he pairs it with intellectual esoterica: quotes from author Barbara Kingsolver's Animal Dreams ("What keeps you going isn't some fine destination but just the road you're on"), painter Pablo Picasso ("I put down on the canvas the sudden visions that force themselves on me"), poet Eileen Myles ("My art can't be supported until it is/Gigantic, bigger than/Everyone else's, confirming/The audience's feeling that they are/Alone...") and others. But the harder he tries, the more the absurdity of Marsh's goal becomes unavoidable. Reading these items while looking at booklet photos of a chipmunk-cheeked Presley posing in rhinestone-clad jumpsuits is altogether kooky. Doing so while listening to these discs is even more ludicrous, and not only because such a wide gulf exists between the tunes and Marsh's ostentatious descriptions of them. Presley's last hurrahs are so singular, and they say so much about what we in this country consider diverting, that they render these grandiose musings entirely insignificant.

Food Pairings
With the vast array of flavours and styles available, it is possible for everyone to find a beer that they enjoy. One way is to prepare a meal that you would usually pair with wine and try that with an array of beers instead.
At the Calgary International Beer Festival we have seminars throughout the evening to help you get a better handle on how to choose different beers and what to look for. We even have a seminar for women only. Learn to pair your beers with cheese or chocolate and your taste buds will thank you. Let one of our 30+ restaurants guide you towards specific samples that pair great with your beer.
Don't forget to also take advantage our our cooking with beer seminars: a how-to session giving by some amazing chef's in and around the Calgary area.
Simple Beer Pairing Rules to Follow
We asked Kim Spence, one of our very knowledgeable beer judges, to give us some basic rules to follow when pairing beers with food. Here's what Kim had to say:
- Pair the intensity of the food with the intensity of the beer. The flavor of the beer or the food shouldn't overpower each other.
- Pair characteristics of the dish with characteristics of the beer.
- Pair complex foods that have lots of flavor with complex beer with lots of flavor.
- Think of Ales like red wines and lagers like white wines; pair them with foods that you would normally use wines with.
Why does Beer Pair So Well?
When you think about it, beer is as food pairing friendly as wine, if not more so. Wines are limited in the flavor department by having only one ingredient (grapes). Even with wood barrel aging, there is far less diversity when you compare it to the vast amount of options brewmasters have at their disposal. These beermakers can experiment with barley for sweetness, hops for bitterness, yeast for that bready flavor, as well as spices, nuts, chocolate, fruits, vegetables, and even exotic flavorings like salmon and oysters or sweet treats like maple. Doesn't matter whether you are pairing a raspberry beer with desert or enjoying a seasonal pumpkin ale, beer offers more variety and a greater sense of adventure.
Some Potential Matches to Get You Started.
Ale: Pair it with spicy food, pizza, Asian food, BBQ'd steaks, or cheeses like Cheddar or Parmesan.
Bock: Pair it with Cajun food, beef, sausage, seared foods, jerk chicken or cheeses like Swiss or Gruyere.
Fruit Beer: Pair it with light/white meats, herb driven foods, pickled dishes, fruity deserts, salads with fruity dressings or cheeses such as Mascarpone.
Lager: Pair it with shellfish, seafood, sushi, grilled pork/chicken, light pasta dishes (without cream or meat in the sauce), Latin food, Mexican food, or spicy food.
Pilsner: Pair it with salads, seafood like salmon, tuna, or trout; Asian food or cheeses such as Havarti, Muenster, or Monterey Jack.
Porter: Pair it with smoked foods, rich stews, meats, bacon, chili, braised dishes, sausage or just about anything you would put on the BBQ.
Stout: Pair it with BBQ'd or grilled foods, salty foods, oysters, rich stews, chocolate, desserts (ideally where the beer has a higher sweetness than the dish), roasted foods, or smoked foods.
Wheat Beer/Hefeweizen: Pair it with vegetarian dishes, sushi, sweet and fruity Asian dishes, citrus-flavoured foods such as deserts or salad dressings, Vegetarian dishes, light soups or salads, or cheeses such as Feta or Gruyere.
Foods & Beers for Thought:
Remember, these rules are just guidelines to help get you started. Nobody knows your tastes like you do. Want to have a beer and food pairing that completely contrasts itself in terms of flavor? Go for it! Enjoy pizza? Then grab a beer with lots of carbonization that stands up to the acidity in the sauce and the fattiness of the cheese without overpowering. Maybe give a beer a try at a different temperature to see if it has a different flavor for you. Most importantly of course, realize that there are no wrong answers! Experiment away and find the tastes that make you happy.

Well I don't have a house or yard anymore so now I am starting Container Gardening in an Apartment. I am in need of some knowledge and expertise from you all. I have a Ficus Elastica about 3 feet tall in an eastern exposure screened porch. The plant is very healthy, sort of a redish tint to the leaves. It is in a plastic pot and the soil looks inadequate. Now with the temps dropping, I am near Orlando, I will bring it inside in the evenings. Should I wait and repot it in the spring?
Sharon |
Follow-Up Postings:
In zone 10, and especially if the plant is very young, you can repot now if you like. You can pot up at any time with little worry about the season, but repotting includes root work and soil removal. With the greater photo-intensity and longer photo-period afforded by your zone, you can get away with a lot more than those of us living at more northerly latitudes. If you do repot now, it's best to make sure you keep the soil temperature above 55* after the repot to speed things along. Though the tropical Ficus will tolerate the stress of lower temps, they don't like it. Cool temperatures affect the plant's ability to carry on normal photosynthesis, and the plant returns to its normal ability only slowly after being reintroduced to more favorable temps. A good way to think of your houseplants is to imagine they have a thermostat. When the temperature is above 55*, they pretty much run on photosynthate being currently produced. By the time the temperature has dropped to below 55*, most of your houseplants will have switched off sun power in favor of battery power (running on stored energy reserves). The problem with that scenario, is the amount of stored energy is finite, and the plant will continue to decline (use up its reserves) until things warm up. It's best to make it a nonissue and keep your plants warmer than 60* at all times if possible ...... unless you have plants that lend themselves to being forced into a situational/environmental dormancy (not a good idea with F elastica).

My word!
January 11, 2013 in Uncategorized
Jeez, talk about a difference!
I started this blog way back when things didn't look . . . .so different.
Firstly I had to change my log in details because they didn't seem to work – and now I have to get used to all this new things popping up on my screen! My goodness!
Very seamless, very straight to the point – I like it, even the little word counter! Where was that when I was around here all those years ago? And what just happened to my "profile" picture?
Anyway – hopefully I'll be around way more this year than last.
Happy New Year everyone!

Previous Activities
Project on the status of older persons in ECE countries
The main objectives of this project were:
- to assemble a set of cross-nationally comparable micro-data samples based on the 1990 - round national population and housing censuses in countries of Europe and North America,
- and to use these samples for studying the social and economic conditions of older persons
Access micro-data through Integrated Public Use Microdata Series(IPUMS)
Standard Tables
Conference on the Status of the Older Population, Sion 1999
Workshops on issues related to population ageing
Two workshops were co-organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).
Meetings of authors of country monographs
Survey of Ageing Research in the UNECE Region
These surveys were carried out by the UNECE Population Unit in collaboration with the United States National Institute on Aging. The objectives were:
- to take stock of ageing research in the ECE countries;
- to identify innovative research strategies and high-quality survey instruments that can be used throughout the region in future research;
- to find out what type of cross-national ageing research should be initiated in Europe during the coming years;
The first such survey was carried out in 1995/96. It went through two waves. The goal of the first wave was to take stock of a wide range of ageing-related research.
1995/96 survey
It covered over 300 projects from about 150 institutions and individuals. About 50 of these projects were selected for the second wave of the survey, the goal of which was to compile more detailed information on large scale, nationally representative research efforts, particularly those involving primary data collection with high-quality survey instruments. Results of the second wave were published in a report that summarizes the survey's major findings.

A call alerted law enforcement and fire officials at about 2 p.m. Monday to the fire, located on Waumandee Creek Road about one mile south of Highway 88 in the Town of Milton. The Fountain City Fire Department extinguished the blaze and left the scene at approximately 3:30 p.m.
By 4 p.m., the Fountain City Fire Department was again called to the scene after windy conditions reignited the fire, which spread rapidly. The Arcadia Fire Department and Tri-Community Fire Department were called in to assist.
During the second response to the fire, two firefighters were slightly injured, according to a release from the Buffalo County Sheriffs Department. The two were taken to a local hospital for treatment due to smoke inhalation. One firefighter was reportedly treated for a minor eye injury. Both were released from the hospital.
No buildings were involved in the fire, which burned approximately 20 acres of grass and woodlands. The fire was extinguished just after midnight.
The origin of the fire is under investigation. According to the Buffalo County Sheriffs Department, burning restrictions are in place in the county and residents and visitors must check with local fire officials before burning any material.

Missing the Point- Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)
Huffington Post
September 3, 2010
...In the current health reform law, I included a provision that would allow states to gain an exemption from certain federal requirements -- such as the individual mandate, the employer penalty and the exact standards for designing the exchanges, subsidies and basic health insurance policies -- if they could find a way to do a better job of covering their state's citizens. And I have been working to help states, like my home state of Oregon, take advantage of this option and hopefully move-up the date when states can start applying for waivers. The reason for this -- as the legislators in my state will attest -- is that it's a lot less cost effective for states to implement their own approaches in 2017 if they also have to pay to implement the federally mandated approach in 2014...

Workers Paying a Greater Share of Health Insurance Coverage
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Christopher Snowbeck
September 3, 2010
Workers are struggling to pick up a larger share of the nation's expanding health care tab, and the burden now includes a bigger chunk of health insurance premium costs, too...
Beyond paying more in premiums, the survey found that workers are paying more out of pocket for care by way of co-pays and deductibles. The results show how the growing cost of health care continues to outstrip wage increases...
For Candidates, No Easy Fixes on Health Care
Gubernatorial candidates agree health care is a top priority, but they differ on how to provide care while facing a $6 billion budget deficit.
By Warren Wolfe
Star Tribune
August 8, 2010
Six leading candidates for governor say a top priority next year will be wrestling with the cost and shape of health care in Minnesota. No wonder: Medical spending accounts for roughly one-fifth of the state budget -- a share that is growing and is sure to be battered by a $6 billion projected deficit, just as state and federal laws start shifting health care into uncharted waters.

A DFL Row Over Single-Payer? It Could Happen!
Lori Sturdevant
Star Tribune
July 10, 2010
Just when I was about to pronounce this year's DFL gubernatorial primary campaign a pale, issueless comedown from the party's policy brawls of yore, my phone rang. The caller was Jeremy Drucker, spokesman for Matt Entenza's campaign. He'd noted my posted observation from a Duluth forum about how Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Yvonne Prettner Solon (Mark Dayton's running mate) echoed each other in support of moving Minnesota toward a single-payer health care system...
...Single-payer health care could produce an argument worthy of a DFL primary fight, thought I, and about something that matters, to boot. Health care amounts to about 9 percent of the total state economy -- more if the medical-device and insurance industries are thrown in...
... But unlike those rows of yesteryear, this one is about something central to government and critical to the state's future. So keep talking, candidates, while I put these bugs in voters' ears: It's not possible to fix the state budget without fixing health care. Unless exploding health care costs are checked, they'll eat away at the capacity of state government to do anything else in years not far ahead.
DFL Gubernatorial Candidates Debate Health Care on TPT Almanac

Single-Payer System is sustainable, Responsible
Letter to Editor
Star Tribune
June 23, 2010
by Amy Lange
Executive Director
Minnesota Universal Health Care Coalition
It's heartening to see single-payer health care being debated by gubernatorial candidates. Our next governor will have the opportunity to enact the Minnesota Health Plan, a sustainable and fiscally responsible solution to our health care mess. The spiraling cost of health care is a huge contributor to the state's current budget crisis. This is precisely the reason we must enact a single-payer system like the Minnesota Health Plan.
Our current system is unsustainable. Tweaks, mandates and corporate insurance bailouts will no longer work. The Minnesota Health Plan would save money, lowering the per-person cost of health care and giving working families and small businesses relief from the crushing burden of health care costs. And by focusing on prevention and primary care, the plan would keep people healthier and more productive.
U.S. Scores Dead last Again in Healthcare
June 23, 2010
Americans spend twice as much as residents of other developed countries on healthcare, but get lower quality, less efficiency and have the least equitable system...
..."We rank last on safety and do poorly on several dimensions of quality," [the researcher] told reporters. "We do particularly poorly on going without care because of cost. And we also do surprisingly poorly on access to primary care and after-hours care."
...When a country fails to meet the needs of the most vulnerable, it also fails to meet the needs of the average citizen," the report reads.
Single-Payer Takes Center Stage in Race for Governor
Kelliher weighs in on single-payer health care pledge
by Tom Scheck,
Minnesota Public Radio
June 21, 2010
The new national health care law is expected to be a big issue this year's election, but the DFL's endorsed candidate for governor has been promising to go one step further.
Minnesota House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher pledged to DFL delegates this spring that she would enact a single-payer health plan in Minnesota, but now she says she wants to study the cost first...

The Chesterfield Community Band, Andy Vaughan & The Driveline, Koinonia Jazz Experience and the Cary Street Ramblers will take the stage during this year's ChesterFest on Sept. 28.
The Fest will offer a new twist this year when the gathering will eliminate the street stage for performances by Daryl Ellison, Zach Artis, Chip Butterworth and his Bluegrass group, John Ellis and Brian Phelps in various locations around the festival loop.
Kicking off the music of the day will be the Chesterfield Community Band. The band was formed in the Fall of 1997 in cooperation with the Chesterfield County Department of Parks and Recreation. Since then, They have been dedicated to providing an opportunity for residents of the greater Richmond area to perform fine concert music.
The 30 piece orchestra has a revolving group of 50-volunteer diverse members, from high school students to retirees. Many members have returned to playing in an ensemble after many years of not playing any music at all!
The 10-piece band Koinonia Jazz Experience will take the stage at 12:15.The Koinionia Jazz Experience is a collaboration of experienced professional musicians from the Richmond Metropolitan Area who have joined together to create mature and pleasing sounds for our audiences. Their smooth and danceable jazz covers a wide spectrum of jazz and is-just-right for jazz lovers.
Andy Vaughan and the Driveline holds the first chair of country; "intriguingly nuanced stone cold country and Texas border music from the heart of Richmond." A few years ago Vaughan found a place for the country and honky-tonk music that he held nearest and dearest to his heart. In no time, a group of like-minded musicians came together in steel guitarist, and Chester resident Slim Stanton, drummer Chip Farnsworth, lead guitarist Jerry Renshaw, and bass playerErik Kutzler. The musical chemistry is undeniable.
If flat footin' is your favorite dance or you just enjoy the notes flowing from a talented fiddle and banjo player then The Cary Street Ramblers will be just your thing. For that matter they are a crowd pleaser for any style music lover.
"It's music you don't hear everywhere even though lots of people in this part of Virginia hear lots of Bluegrass and Old Time," said Kathy Whittle, the guitar player for The Cary Street Ramblers.
If you can't find the main stage, which is highly unlikely, you can stop for a spell and listen to one of five street performers spread around the Fest. Just as Kings Dominion has a new ride each year, this is a new attraction that will make a walk through the many vendors a musical treat. Daryl Ellyson, Zach Artis, Chip Butterworth and his Bluegrass group, John Ellis and Brian Phelps will be spread throughout the Fest for your enjoyment.
Of course the dog show will return with special prizes and the cutest puppies in Chesterfield. Shampooches Spaw will sponsor the event, which is sure to be the cutest event of the day.
And the event that everyone waits for all day long – the World Champion Cherry Pie Eating Contest. The pie eating contest has been a favorite for 12 years.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jetta!
Facts about Jetta
- Breed: Lovebird
- Color: Blue
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
Jetta's Info...
Hi. My name is Jetta and I'm a Blue-Masked Lovebird. I have a very pretty voice when I do make noise, but I'm a little shy. I have a little wicker cone den I like to lay in. I come with the cage that Petco donated to me, along with bowls and toys.
Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for an adoption application and adoption fee. Our adoption procedure is located on our website under the adoption & fee info tab.
Other Pets at Olive Branch Parrot Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jetta, a Redlands Lovebird was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Lovebird for sale in Redlands, or seeking a Lovebird from a breeder in Redlands.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Redlands 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 Redlands 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 Lovebird breeders who help with Lovebird rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Redlands paves the way for another one to be saved.
