Whitewater rafting on the Gauley River is almost finished for this year. One more weekend, it looks like. If you're one of the lucky ones heading down this weekend, congrats!
If not, remember, southern West Virginia is more than just the East Coast's best adventures and exciting whitewater. There are plenty of things to see and do without getting wet and no paddles are required! And if there are repeats in here from yesterday's post, well, that's just because they bear repeating
The Arts—the local communities are full of traditional and heritage crafts celebrating life past and present in the Appalachian hills. Can't miss:
· Tamarack, the state's premiere artisan center is located less than 30 minutes from ACE Adventure Resort. Juried artisans from throughout the state retail items, gourmet food producers cook and sample their recipes, the Fine Arts Gallery features rotating multi-media, the in-house Theatre schedules concerts and theatric performances and the Greenbrier provides an easy on your budget menu (the fried green tomatoes and Greenbrier peaches are favorites).
Adventure—on the mild side.
· New River Jetboats in Ansted is the ticket for all ages. The boat will navigate you upstream for spectacular views and photo opportunities of the New River Gorge Bridge. On your way back to ACE, stop in at Blue Smoke Salsa where you may run into Farmer Jones delivering hot peppers and watch the Blue Smoke gang cook up a batch of their award-winning sauces.
History—celebrating the past. The New River Gorge region is rich in coal, timber and rural heritage. The migrant workforce of the past shines through in the traditions and culture of the area. Plan a visit now to
· The Whipple Company Store that is full of history from the region's best known commodity-coal.
Fairs & Festivals—West Virginia communities love to celebrate their heritage and a variety of festivals and events mean that no matter when you visit ACE in the fall, you can take in an event. The state's largest one-day festival,
· Bridge Day, is held annually on the third Saturday in October. Bring the family and while some of the members challenge the rapids and watch the BASE jumpers, you can browse the more than 150 vendors and watch from the bridge.
Right here at ACE, there's all kinds of non-river adventures our miles of trails mean great hikes, mountain bike rides, ATV tours and horseback rides. Enjoy the changing colors in the New River Gorge right in your back yard.
No matter what "adventure", you choose. Join us at ACE…. the fall season isn't just for whitewater enthusiasts.

Blinking Balls Battered & Bruised By Brillo Over Deficit Denial
Last week Guido flagged up the IMF pouring cold water over Balls telling Andrew Marr in January 2011 that there was no structural deficit pre-crash:
"The IMF declared today that Britain's structural deficit was £38bn worse than originally thought and running at £73bn or 5.2% in 2007 – a year before that 'global economic crisis' Ed Balls hides behind. Here is what he told Marr in January 2011:"I don't think we had a structural deficit at all in that period [before the recession]" Given the Shadow Chancellor's fondness for throwing IMF statements around, will he now concede that he was wrong and say sorry?"
No, instead he chose to deny ever saying it. You be the judge…

We went with the Echo Ridge after seeing your sample board shots and getting our hands on a sample of our own. The stone started going up on Friday and I managed to snap a few pics this weekend while we were up at the house. Thought I'd share them with you both since I know you were looking at the stone as well. They are all iphone quality, but the color is pretty accurate.
:) enjoy! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for the pics and keeping me in mind. Looks like your installer is doing a fantastic job. Keeping the pattern random and blending the stone/colors nicely is key to making it look as natural as possible as the actual variations in the "stones" are limited. I think it looks fabulous! Our contractor is slighly behind schedule, but came out on Tues and erected the scaffolding which allowed me to strip the existing vinyl siding. They came back out on Friday to lay the tar paper and diamond mesh. Stoning should hopefully begin today. |

Star of "A Shot at Love 2" - Internet skin queen Tila Tequila has opened up about ex-boyfriend Bobby Banhart, and even her girlcrush on actress Christina Ricci.
Tequila even wants to adopt Angelina Jolies Kkd, Pax.Tila Tequila, the bisexual host from MTVs dating show, "A Shot at Love 2 with Tila Tequila" talked to Extra about ex-boyfriend Bobby Banhart.
At the end of season one, Tequila chose Bobby Banhart, but the couple broke up soon after the finale aired.
As for the media scrutinizing the show and her relationship with Banhart, Tequila exclaimed, I want everyone to know that with the whole Bobby situation, to just shut up because that was the past and everything that happened was real. People thought my show was fake Its real. Peoples hearts got broken including mine and I just want everyone to know that sometimes things dont work out, but that doesnt mean its scripted.
As for her celebrity crush, Tequila revealed, I love Christina Ricci. Shes really hot and I think she looks kind of odd like me I fell in love with her when I saw Black Snake Moon. She was naked in that one. I kind of drooled over her naked scenes
Tequila revealed she would love to live in the Playboy mansion.
I wish I was Hugh Hefner. I just want to have a bunch of girls running around the house, cleaning up for me, cooking and I could just come home Tequila revealed.
As for having children, Tequila declared, I was wondering if I could adopt one of her [Angelina Jolie's] babies. I love Pax. Hes Vietnamese like me. I was thinking of retiring and adopting a few kids of my own. Moving to somewhere really far away from Hollywood."
When asked about her future, Tequila declared, Next up Im doing a lot more charity stuff because I think that once you hit a certain goal, you should give back. I think its important to start giving back to my fans Im not like Paris Hilton. People who dont know me, they always compare me to her and Im nothing like her. I definitely want to let people know more of a sweet side and my compassionate sides.

Layout: I started out so hopeful ....
started by Ansoniadesign on Sep 22, 2004 — RSS Feed
Posts: 4
I started out so hopeful. I have always been confused by relative and absolute positioning, so when I saw the link on Zeldman's site to "Absolutely Relative" my heart soared. I mean, just to find out I wasn't the only one confused was so encouraging. Then I went to the article. I can't read it. I am 45 years old, my monitor resolution is 1280x1024 so sometimes (a lot of times) things are very hard to read. "No problem," I thought, "I will use IE's increase text function. ... No luck. Is there a style switcher? No."
I am on a corporate platform with access to only one web browser and I can't increase the font size to read this article. Oh well, I guess this article was meant to be read by the young, the hip, and the non-Microsoft encumbered. Such is life after 45.
Posts: 76
Why not copy the article into a Word doc, alter the size to suit and print it?
OK, it's not the easiest way to do things but if you can only get online at work and you're tied to IE then it's a solution.

I guess this article was meant to be read by the young, the hip, and the non-Microsoft encumbered. Such is life after 45.
Er, no. The article is directed towards web designers (of any age) and I'm considerably more than 45 myself. I can't read any site, book or newspaper without my glasses.
My first question is, if you are not a web designer, why would you find this article to be of any interest?
My second question is, if you are a web designer, how can you possibly work with only one browser?
Joe Gillespie
Posts: 528
If you read the first post it clearly states "I am on a corporate platform with access to only one web browser". The fact remains that IE is the majority browser, so we must cater for it. That means trying to avoid fonts set in pixels. (The only reason the text can't be enlarged.) Use ems or percentages instead.
EDIT: Just read this further down the page!
"If a site is aimed at the widest possible general audience, it's not a good idea to fix the font size in pixels. As this particular site is aimed at 'designers' and discusses 'visual' issues, the viewing situation is a bit more predictable so I allow myself the 'luxury' of specifying the font size in pixels."
There is, however, one thing AnsoniaDesign can do. In IE go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. On the General tab, click on the Accessibility button and tick the box marked "Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages". Now you can enlarge the text!
You can also set up a custom stylesheet from the same menu and use it to over-ride anything you don't like on the web. (An example might be to force all text to be a certain size.)
Font styles and colours can also be turned off from the same menu. Font styles could be used to allow you to set a default font and see it used on every page.

True, but I have to agree with Joe... how can anyone who calls themselves a web designer ONLY work in IE? That's just not a very good idea for anyone working on the web.
Especially since IE's market share (while still huge) is DECLINING steadily.
Posts: 1
Hi, I just found this forum...
You CAN resize text in IE-6:
Go to TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > ACCESSIBILITY, then select the �Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages� box. (You can also choose the "Ignore style sheet" box if you want to use your own style sheet.)
Then from VIEW > TEXT SIZE select a larger font size if needed and the page text should resize.
Hope that is of help!

Since what browsers I have "access to" seems to be an ssue to some who responded I will clarify. My PC does allow for locally installed browsers and I have Firefox as an alternative. However, within my company the only broswer everyone else has access to is IE. I primarily design web apps for our intranet -- which is viewed without exception on IE. I also have a Mac with the usual compliment of browsers in order to check my few public designs. But, the point of my post is that the article, and indeed this forum, is barely readable in IE to me with no EASY, quick alternative for changing the text size.
Calling into question my legitimacy as a web designer instead of the legitmate question of usability is pretty lame.
Posts: 157
Since I was one of those that was pretty baffled by (and vocal about) the IE-only bent, it looks like I owe you an apology. I didn't think about controlled intranet conditions.
Still, why not just fire up firefox if you've got it right there? It's a better browser anyway.
As for usability... yes, you're right. IE can't get it's act together to properly support resizing, and pixels can be dangerous. Personally, I've just gotten to where I like large body text in general. Tiny text is too hard to read.
As for the usabiility problem, Joe, why don't you do something like this:
font-size: 12px !important;
font-size: 90%;
With whatever values you want. That way, real browsers would hold the important value, and IE would take the other. A hack? Yup... but so is IE.
Anyway, Ansonia, I apologize. I should have thought about the possibility of circumstances that were not readily obvious.

Ah, so you want something EASY. I see. How easy is it for me to produce this site every month at no cost to you or anybody else? If I wanted something EASY, I'd sit back and watch television.
Considering the effort I go to, the least you can do is open a modern, standards compliant browser!!! If you don't want to do that, then that's up to you. No problem here.
In the October issue, I'm actively supporting the Spread FireFox campaign. The sooner we all ACTIVELY do something about Microsoft's excuse for a Web browser, the better.
Putting up with IE is another EASY solution.
Posts: 4
Apology accepted.
I hope my point is understood. Yes, I could have opened Firefox (I don't remember if I did or not) but why force me to use another browser? It is a point at which you risk losing my readership altogether because when the text is too small I feel alienated and turned off. There are a lot of web design sites out there -- no one site has cornered the market on this kind of stuff -- and I will take the time to read the site (and will revisit) if I can read it without having to switch from my main browser. (Even if I am not crazy about said 'main browser'.)
I am not even advocating one method of text sizing over another. I read. At least I read sites I can see. I know they all have their pros and cons ... just make the text bigger than 9px ... I can't even read what I am typing in this reply. We aren't all 30. Thank God.
(45 and loving it ... most of the time.)

Wow. Mr. Forum Administrator's anger is, well, surprising to me. I would think he (why do I think it is a man) would be trying to cultivate readers, not alienate them. And angry because I took the time to say that text is too small for me to read on my default work platform.
That is okay, there are many other fine web design sites out there and some have manners. I'm outta here. Thank you to those of you who had helpful hits on how to resize when saddled with IE. Good luck to you all.

Ah, you mistake my sarcastic wit for anger, not so. It takes quite a lot to make me angry. You've had several suggestions on how to resize the type so I don't see how the type size can really be your problem.

The only item of relavence in my question to the topic of this thread is the statement itself about "starting out hopeful". I have been sending hopefully discreet messages to those whose email addresses are public, confessing to my stupidity as a newbie here, and asking how one finds the "index" page to start a new thread. My question related to complex menus and I couldn't locate any thread where a post would make sense. No one has responded and I am hopeful I have not offended anyone on my first attempt to communicate in this forum.

1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, it was as if we were dreaming. | 1 When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. |
2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with joyful songs. Then the nations said, "The LORD has done spectacular things for them." | 2 Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." |
3 The LORD has done spectacular things for us. We are overjoyed. | 3 The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. |
4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, as you restore streams [to dry riverbeds] in the Negev. | 4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negev. |
5 Those who cry while they plant will joyfully sing while they harvest. | 5 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. |
6 The person who goes out weeping, carrying his bag of seed, will come home singing, carrying his bundles of grain. | 6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. |

Born to Canadian parents in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1968, Fraser carries two passports wherever he goes. His father was a journalist and foreign-service officer for the Canadian Government Office of Tourism, which meant that Brendan and his family relocated frequently. His childhood journey through the USA, Canada and Europe introduced him to the complex nature of diversity and the challenge of frequently changing schools. Living in Holland at age seven, he became secretly envious of his childhood peers' cool, militia-sounding "Army Brat" title. So he dubbed himself "Brochure Brat" and would compare travel itineraries to break the ice when making new friends. During his time in Canada, Fraser attended the exclusive Upper Canada College where he learned to speak French fluently. Fraser went on to receive his BFA in Acting at Seattle's Cornish College of the Arts.
Along the way, Brendan developed insatiable curiosities for creating imagery (he has become an accomplished amateur photographer), going to new places (he is an ardent world traveler who recently needed extra pages added to his passport) and keeping current with new forms of artistic expression (his limited free time is frequently spent in Museums, Theatres and Galleries, or, yep
On a childhood holiday in London, Brendan attended his first professional theatrical performancea West End matinee of the musical, Oliver! He was instantly captivated and had discovered a truly permanent home. Eager to get ahead of the curve in elementary school dramatics, he joined the chorus in a high-school musical production of Oklahoma. Within a few short years, the theatre revealed itself to him as a place of infinite possibilitywhere an undeniably powerful connection between an actor and the audience could be forged. Brendan resolved to be a part of that risky and rewarding world.

High Protein Diets
A high protein diet is a typical bodybuilders diet, however an increasing number of weight loss diets also recommend high levels of protein – in order to maintain/increase muscle tissue whilst burning fat.
High protein diets typically contain 1g of protein per 1 pound of body weight. Some high protein diets will recommend a percentage of total calorie intake (such as 30% or more).
While this extra protein can be obtained through whole foods, some people choose to use supplements such as protein bars and shakes as a convenient way to increase protein consumption.
Protein bars should be consumed in moderation due to the large amount of highly processed ingredients that are used.
Why More Protein?
- Higher amounts of protein are required to build muscle mass.
- Digestion of protein tends to require more energy (also known as the thermic affect of feeding).
- Some believe that protein has a higher level of satiation.
Which Foods are High in Protein?
The following is a list of popular lean proteins (i.e. low in fat).
- Chicken and Turkey
- Fish (i.e. Tuna and Salmon) and other seafood
- Cottage cheese and other low-fat dairy
- Lean cuts of beef
- Whey protein powder
- Egg whites
Look for tasty meat recipes here.
Risks of a High Protein Diet
There is considerable difference of opinion surrounding high protein diets. Some nutritionists feel that diet too high in protein leads to renal (kidney) failure or stress. However there appears to be little evidence for this. High protein diets should be avoided if you already have kidney problems.
Other dietitians cite a dehydration risk with consuming large amounts of protein. Metabolizing protein does require a higher amount of water than carbohydrates or fats, so it's important to consume a lot of water when on a high protein diet.
Popular High Protein Diets
There are a number of popular weight loss diets that are higher in protein – such as;
However it is important to note that a typical high protein diet implies lean proteins.

Local Improvement Projects in 10 Rural Iowa Communities Get a Boost from USDA Rural Development
Funds Totaling $23.7 Million Coming to Iowa
WASHINGTON, April 21, 2011 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced support for projects to improve the quality of life in rural communities across the country.
Ten projects in Iowa are receiving a total of $23.7 million in loan and grant funding.
"USDA's support for these projects reflects our commitment to ensuring that rural communities can create jobs, attract businesses and provide necessary services to their residents," Vilsack said. "USDA Rural Development continues to work with rural communities to help them develop quality health care services, modern library facilities and school buildings, and reliable first responder equipment and services to ensure that people who live in rural areas have access to critical infrastructure."
The 135 projects in 40 states, Puerto Rico and the Western Pacific are being financed through $234 million in loans and grants from USDA Rural Development's Community Facilities Program. Eligible projects include essential community facilities for public use in rural areas such as fire protection, safety, health care, education and many other community needs.
A complete list of projects that were selected for funding in Iowa is below. Funding for each project is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the loan or grant agreement.
• City of Clearfield – $100,000 grant for street improvements
• Mahaska County Hospital – $23,015,000 direct loan to expand the hospital
• City of Liscomb – $4,751 grant to purchase bunker gear for the fire department
• City of Somers – $27,800 grant to purchase library equipment and make improvements to the library
• Bedford Community School District – $15,400 grant to resurface the school playground area
• City of Griswold – $50,000 grant to renovate and expand the library

• Mount Ayr Community School – $50,000 grant to help with parking lot improvements
• City of Sabula $355,084 direct loan and $90,000 grant to make repairs to and rehabilitate a levee system
During the past year USDA Rural Development has helped a record number of Iowans receive funding for economic development projects and quality of life improvements. The agency's investment in Iowa helped create or retain more than 2,200 jobs, aided 2,500 families in buying their own homes and assisted more than 250 communities as they made improvements to their facilities, services and infrastructure.
For more information about finance programs through USDA Rural Development, please call (515) 284-4663 or visit www.rurdev.usda.gov/ia.
USDA Rural Development has 11 offices across the state to serve the 1.7 million Iowans living in rural communities and areas. Office locations include a State Office in Des Moines, along with Area Offices in Albia, Atlantic, Humboldt, Indianola, Iowa Falls, Le Mars, Mount Pleasant, Storm Lake, Tipton and Waverly.

Think back to some the first few games you ever played. You might have been sitting at the kitchen table, or laying down on the living room carpet. Maybe you played with friends in your bedroom with an "Enter at your own risk" sign on the door. Remember those white cardboard boxes that the games came in, and how after a little time the corners would tear and you had to tape them together to make sure the pieces didn't go sliding out. If you are like us, then one of those games was a memory matching game. It might have been pictures of animals, or cartoon characters, or cars and trucks. It always was the same, lay them face down in a grid pattern then take turns trying to remember where the matches were. Remember the fist pumps and the "Yesssssssss" when you got a match? Remember sitting there almost exploding with anticipation, waiting for your turn while your partner tried to remember where the match was, and you KNEW it was 2nd from bottom right?
It's a great game, one that has endured because you don't need to know how to spell, add subtract or have any strategy other than simply remember. It was much more than that however, it taught you patience, taking turns and also taught you to be curious about what was on those cards.
This is our version of that classic game. Race to clock!, best your own score or play head to head against your friends. Make sure you add your name for bragging rights on the High Score page!
We know how important what is on those cards can be to start conversation. So we have added important people and items from the Bible. Each card has a corresponding biography so you can have a conversation and teach or explain who these people were and what they mean to you as a Christian. We hope the game provides hours of quiet fun and religious learning.

It's been a rough summer for most of my orchids, but for some reason, this little guy came through just fine, and is blooming earlier than normal since I brought it in.

Yeah it's August, not a lot is going on in the NBA and that kinda sucks. I mean, besides Anthony Tolliver getting paid, deciding to take his talents to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a two-year, $4.8 million deal.
These slow days are not all bad, however, because in my Youtube searching, I have found the best Brent Barry mix tape. Yes, oh yes, there's the dunk contest and the jacket, but there is so much more, too. As @RobMahoney exclaimed over g-chat, "The passing! I had no idea!" Yup.
Oh, 1996. Where has the time gone?

The most effective and natural way to treat Chicken pox in babies, children and adults it to use Colloidal Silver-MSM spray, the homeopathic remedy Rhus tox, powerful immune-boosting and anti-viral natural ingredients such as Beta glucans, Bee Propolis, Black Elderberry and Olive Leaf extract, and Aloe Vera Gel.
You can buy 'Natural Chicken pox Treatment Kits' with NEXT DAY DELIVERY for adults, babies and children which contain a combination of these natural remedies and are designed specifically to:
- fight the virus from within the body and on the surface of the skin
- dramatically speed up the recovery process
- reduce inflammation
- stop the itching
- aid healing
- cool the skin
Together they are an incredibly effective, comprehensive and natural approach to chicken pox. These products are 100% natural and unlike the spectacularly ineffective Calamine Lotion they really work and do not dry the skin.
"I bought the kit for my daughter ,who's 7. It was delivered the next day. She healed very quickly and didn't suffer from any fever or itching. The Aloe vera gel is very moisturizing and we used it once the spots had dried up. And there was enough of everything for my son when he came down with it two weeks later. So thank you very much for an excellent service." S. Hibbert (11 Jan 2010)

- COLLOIDAL SILVER is the key to eliminating chicken pox. It is a suspension of ultra-fine silver particles in purified water and is one of the best all round natural germ-fighters available. It has been used for hundreds of years, is designed to be used orally and topically, is antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory and has many different uses. It can be used as a natural alternative to antibiotics.
Silver has the ability to inactivate most viruses which means that it destroys the Varicella zosta virus that causes chicken pox. Colloidal Silver is incredibly effective against chickenpox and can also relieve a sore throat, often present with this virus. Instead of the usual two weeks recovery time you will be better in one week or less!
You will visibly see the spots crust over and begin to heal much faster than normal.
Colloidal Silver is best used for chicken pox when sprayed directly onto the skin. It has the consistency of water and is easily sprayed onto the skin.
Colloidal Silver is suitable for babies / infants, children and adults, including newborn babies and is safe for use when pregnant.
The Silver-MSM Hi-Strength & Broad Spectrum Skin Sprays in the chickenpox kits contain 25 parts per million of silver and also organic sulphur (MSM) which has many healing properties.

- RHUS TOX 30c – a homeopathic remedy taken internally known to help relieve the symptoms of chicken pox by speeding up recovery and helping to reduce itching. These tiny sugar-based pills are suitable for all ages because they can be chewed or allowed to dissolve in the mouth.
- ALOE VERA GEL – the properties of Aloe Vera are well known – healing, soothing, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, moisturising – and for chickenpox aloe vera gel is an ideal topical application to cool and heal the skin. It can be applied as often as required.
- BEE PREPARED Daily Defence capsules- a potent all natural supplement containing high quality nutrients to support the body's natural defenses on a daily basis. Contains Bee Propolis, Beta Glucans, Olive Leaf Extract and Black Elderberry. The Bee Prepared Daily Defence formula provides all-in-one combinations of highly concentrated ingredients, which have antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to help aid the body's immune system function. This adult's formula is included in the Chickenpox Treatment Kit – Adults alongside the Silver-MSM Skin Spray.

"The colloidal silver was simply a god-send. It seemed to hasten along the healing and as such has prevented much scarring. I just wish that the bottle was larger!…The aloe vera was refreshing and did what it said!! It's such a shame that more adults suffering with chicken pox are unaware of these products." C. Alexander
"I have used the Chicken pox kit and it was fantastic! I have already ordered more Colloidal Silver…" S. Triwulandari
"The Colloidal Silver in this kit was incredible. My children call it their 'magic spray'. They just stopped itching and the speed at which the spots began to heal was amazing. I am just so pleased we found this. I have ordered more colloidal silver already because it has so many uses." S. Hamill
"Really pleased with the kit and the speed it aided recovery. As soon as we started using it we could see results. Will recommend to anyone who is unfortunate enough to get this virus!" T. Tame
"I was more than happy with the results of the Chicken pox Kit. The Colloidal Silver helped soothe the skin instantly (with no odour or drying effect like Calamine Lotion) and the Rhus tox tablets brought out the rash quickly. Being 23 and having chicken pox was rather frustrating but finding your site and the products was a lifeline! I was back at University within 2 weeks." S. Cullen
"The kit was amazing…my little girl of 1 1/2 was so bad her face was swollen and her whole body was one big spot. But her recovery rate was fantastic, she was clear in a week with the silver spray and she loved the cooling aloe vera gel on her skin." C. Hall
In addition to the above products much more can be done to support the immune support and help fight infection.
- NATURE'S ANSWER ECHINACEA & GOLDENSEAL is also available for children aged 4 years plus and is called 'E-Kid Nacea Plus'. Again it is a powerful anti-viral and antibacterial immune boosting formula that can be used for all infections.
- NATURE'S ANSWER BLACK ELDERBERRY liquid (Sambucus nigra) is a scientifically proven to be rich in immune-boosting flavonoids – powerful, natural antioxidants that have a remarkable ability to stimulate the immune system. Elderberry also contains several direct anti-viral compounds. Elderberries have been used for centuries for countless ailments from flu and fever to colds and colic and are effective against most other viruses. It has a pleasant taste and so is ideal for children.
- COMVITA OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT liquid another powerful natural antiviral, antibacterial and immune boosting supplement is available in capsules and liquid and is suitable for adults and children over the age of two years. Can be taken intensively during illness and daily in a low dose as a preventative measure.
- ZINC is important to help strengthen the immune system and aid healing. It is easy to be deficient in zinc because food sources (nuts and shellfish) are limited.
- VITAMIN A is also important to boost the immune system and help heal the skin.
- VITAMIN C with bioflavonoids is important to boost the immune system, fight infection and support the body during times of stress.
You can buy all of these high quality supplements for babies, children and adults via the same website that sells the Chickenpox Kits
- Keep well hydrated and drink freshly made juices and vegetable soups until the fever drops
- Introduce simple foods like mashed banana, avocados, yoghurt etc when the appetite returns – do not use cooked or processed foods
- Do not give cow's milk or formula to a feverish baby/infant. This can worsen an illness. Instead give pure juices diluted with filtered/bottled water, rice milk and plenty of quality water until the fever has passed
- Keep out of direct sunlight and keep interior areas dimly lit – bright light worsens the condition
- Try not to let your child scratch. Keep nails short and clean. Use scratch mittens if necessary.
- Give plenty of cool baths - run hot water through a muslin bag (or a stocking) of uncooked oats, massaging the bag to encourage the creamy substance to come out of the oats. Add cold water to the bath to cool the temperature. This helps reduce the itch.
- Adding a few drops of Lavender Oil to bathwater aids healing
- Keep children away from others who have chickenpox as re-infection can worsen the condition. Family members should have limited contact with each other
- Chamomile tea is very soothing and reduces irritation. For children over the afe of 6 give a dessertspoon of the tea four times daily and for children below the age of six give just one teaspoon four times daily

Chickenpox is a common and extremely contagious viral infection which is spread by direct contact or from breathing in germs. It is caused by the pox virus Varicella zosta, the same virus which causes shingles. Most children contract chickenpox by the age of ten. One bout usually gives lifetime immunity however it is possible, although rare, to catch it a second time.
Incubation period – symptoms usually begin 7-21 days after exposure to the virus and are typically a headache, tiredness, runny nose and slight cough, loss of appetite and a fever.
This is then followed 24-48 hours later with an itchy rash of spots. The spots tend to start on the chest, back or face and then spread all over the body. They first appear as a flat, reddish rash which then becomes small pimples, filled with fluid like water blisters. These blisters leak and form a crust which then begins to dry, scab over and finally heal. Eruptions continue in cycles lasting from three days to one week. The blisters and crusts are infectious and itchy and scratching them can lead to bacterial infection and scarring (see below). Once the scabs have gone the individual is no longer infectious. Chickenpox usually runs its course in two weeks or less in otherwise healthy children.
Adults who contract the infection tend to have much more severe cases than children do. Potentially serious complications, such as pneumonia or encephalitis (an infection of the brain), can arise for some people especially newborns, adults and those with an impaired immune system. Infected children should be kept away from the elderly, newborn babies and pregnant women who have not had chickenpox. If a newborn baby who has come into contact with an infected person and shows any signs of illness see your GP or contact emergency services immediately.
Once chickenpox has cleared the virus then lies dormant in the body, often in the spinal cord and nerve ganglia, until such a time that it may be activated again, usually by a weakened immune system and this is what causes shingles, an extremely painful condition.
The conventional approach is simply to use Calamine Lotion which is after the initial cool feeling is completely ineffective.
Unless you are an adult and your chicken pox is particularly severe your GP will not prescribe any medication.

Students and staff of the Bern University of Applied Sciences BFH receive a BFHcard. The BFHcard is a student and staff ID card and features a wide range of useful additional functions. The card in credit-card format is handed to BFH associates in person. Students receive the card on commencement of their studies.
The BFHcard is a multifunctional card that can be used for a wide range of applications. It should be borne in mind that different functions are available depending on the location.
Students and staff can use the BFHcard as an ID card and to benefit from special offers.
The BFHcard serves as a library ID card in BFH libraries and affiliated libraries within Switzerland (e.g. Nebis, Library Association of Basel and Berne, other libraries belonging to the Information Association of German-speaking Switzerland IDS). A user account must be set up for loans, orders and reservations. User accounts can be opened online by registering with one of the library catalogues operated by the sub-associations (e.g. IDS Basel Berne) or by visiting one of the libraries themselves. Registration is subject to a one-time fee of CHF 22.
Once it has been loaded with cash, the BFHcard can be employed as a means of cashless payment for goods and services at designated devices. It is currently not yet possible to use the card to pay in canteens or purchase items from snack machines; this will be introduced gradually on a location-by-location basis. The BFHcard can be used to make printouts and copies at public multi-function devices. Rates:
Format | Rates (CHF) |
A4 b/w single-sided | 0.12 |
A4 b/w double-sided | 0.20 / 0.24* |
A4 colour single-sided | 0.30 |
A4 colour double-sided | 0.50 / 0.60* |
A3 b/w single-sided | 0.20 |
A3 b/w double-sided | 0.35 / 0.40 |
A3 colour single-sided | 0.50 |
A3 colour double-sided | 0.80 / 1.- |
* For technical reasons, certain multi-functional devices automatically charge for two single-sided copies when making a double-sided copy (e.g: 2 x CHF 0.12 for A4 b/w double-sided). The devices in question do not permit a single charge for a double-sided copy.
The BFHcard grants out-of-hours access to BFH buildings, premises and parking areas with electronic access control. Access is determined by the holder's personal authorisations.

The lifelong criminal who signed on to become an RCMP agent was given $1,000 a week and promised $50,000 in order to conspire with three Cranbrook men to kill a drug rival, a police handler testified Tuesday.
But Const. Kyle Weatherhead said Garry Shank's employment last year, after the investigation was complete, involved babysitting his girlfriend's child.
Weatherhead testified Wednesday in the trial of Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia, who are charged with conspiracy to commit murder. The trial is scheduled to last through April.
Weatherhead was one of a number of RCMP who acted as "handlers" to Shank as he worked with police on scenarios involving the three men while wearing a recording device.
Under cross-examination, Weatherhead acknowledged Shank was paid $1,000 a week by police. RCMP also picked up some of his living expenses. Defence lawyer Jim Heller asked the Mountie where Shank spent his money.
"He liked $400 jeans, sunglasses - that kind of stuff," Weatherhead said.
Some of the money Shank was promised for signing on to become a police agent is to be paid following the trial.
Weatherhead said Shank was living in Winnipeg last year awaiting the trial. He acknowledged Shank is "institutionalized" from his years in jail, has no work skills and has never held a job.
While in Winnipeg, initially Shank was taking care of his girlfriend's child for a living, the constable testified.
But in January last year Shank assaulted her, along with two police officers, after the couple had a fight. Weatherhead said he traveled to Winnipeg after Shank was released on bail, providing him with about $2,000 to find housing because he had no work skills to make his own living.
At one point during the investigation, Weatherhead said Shank threatened to quit, telling the officer, "When this is all said and done I was planning on killing myself anyway."
Shank testified for nearly three weeks.

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 Mr. Kitty!
Facts about Mr. Kitty
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Mr. Kitty's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Mr. Kitty is big and friendly and handsome. He loves being outside and would enjoy being a barn cat.
Purrsonal Information
Age: That's my secret. Let's just say I'm an adult. Not old, but not a youngster either
Likes: Being outtside, hanging out with nice people, other cats, friendly dogs. I like just about everything.
Dislikes The only thing I really don't like is being inside all the time.
Health Concerns: I'm in great health!
Ideal Home: Indoor outdoor (mostly outdoor) with a nice cat or gentle dog to hang out with.
Mr. Kitty's Story
Life was good until my people moved and left me outside at our old house. I like being outdoors, but being totally on my own was a bit much. I found another house and a nice person who gave me food, but I really couldn't stay there. So I'm in the Howard County Cat Club's group home hoping to find my forever -- really forever -- family. If you're looking for a big, friendly cat who would enjoy going for walks with you and helping you garden, we should meet. Just contact the Howard County Cat Club to arrange an introduction.
Other Pets at Howard County Cat Club - no kill shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mr. Kitty, a Columbia Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Columbia, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Columbia.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Columbia 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 Columbia 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Columbia paves the way for another one to be saved.

Business leadership increasingly requires a master's degree in business and graduate management admission test (GMAT) scores continue to be an important component of applications for admission to such programs. Given the ubiquitous use of GMAT scores as gatekeepers for business leadership, GMAT scores are likely to influence organizational ethical behavior through gender, cultural, and other biases in the GMAT. There is little prior literature in this area and we contribute by empirically documenting that GMAT scores are negatively related to the cultural dimensions of masculinity and power distance and are positively related to math literacy, uncertainty avoidance, and individualism. We estimate that cultural factors may account for as much as an 80-point difference in cross-national mean GMAT scores which are also related negatively to local language literacy, national educational spending, wealth per capita, wealth inequality, and gender development. Most interestingly, we also find a significant negative association of GMAT scores with ethical orientation. These findings have important implications for business schools and corporate ethics and leadership.
