I was thinking of getting this rose this year. Obviously, by your photo, it's gorgeous - but what do you think of it in your garden -repeat -flowering amount -fragrance Thanks! Love your photo. Carol |
Really a gorgeous color, love it! |
Look at that beautiful big bud! Will it get a chance to open or will you bring it inside? |
Well, this is a first year rose that I purchased from Hortico. Some of you know, when you get roses from Hortico and open the package, you say, "What are these twigs?" For whatever reason, these roses flourish in my awful desert soil. Old Fragrance (now 3 years old) was 7 feet tall this season. Back to CDG, it had 10 blossoms this season with good repeat and okay fragrance. I expect a better scent next season but, this being the desert, roses smell nothing like they did when I lived on the East Coast. On the plus side, no BS here as there is little humidity. I would heartily recommend this rose if you want a stunning lavender. |

Oooh!! Sounds lovely. Hopefully the fragrance will improve as the rose bush matures. Carol |

I've read that some large proportion of people had an imaginary friend when young - I certainly did, but a lot less exciting than this one (mine lived in a piece of pumice stone of a sort of triangular shape...)
Really like your work. But I think the "eyes" on every piece destroys it all. I would like to see every piece without the eyes.

Raging Bull
"Brutal Attraction: The Making of Raging Bull," Richard Schickel (March 2010)
Thirty years later, Raging Bull may still be regarded as Martin Scorsese's greatest film, but at the time, the director resisted making it. Richard Schickel recounts how a relentless Robert De Niro—and a near-death experience on Scorsese's part—helped the pair deliver a one-two punch.

A Doctor Who video game could soon be on the cards, as the BBC pushes ahead with a licensing programme for publishers.
And we're not talking another Top Trumps-type effort here; we're talking triple-A, major production.
According to MCV magazine this morning, the Beeb is ready to help create games based on its biggest licences - after a long period of abstinence.
"We've been reactive to the market in the last few years," said Dave Anderson, head of multimedia development at BBC Worldwide.
"There were a few opportunistic licensing deals, but we were largely aggregating and holding onto our properties to wait and see how the market developed."
What BBC programmes would you like to see ported to your 360/PS3/PC/Wii readers?

Los Angeles hotels
There was a time when selecting a Los Angeles hotel meant choosing between classic luxury staples such as the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Bel-Air (closed for refurbishment until 2011), and the Regent Beverly Wilshire—all with over-the-top service, regal lobbies, and storied pasts—or funky little boutiques with intimate lounges sporting wheatgrass centerpieces and bowls of polished green apples. But lately, a whole slew of new openings, including the London West Hollywood and the SLS, aim to bridge the gap between boutique and old-school retreat. One constant? Southern California style means relaxation is key, and there are always plenty of opportunities for lounging, be it at the trendy lobby bars, the scene-y rooftop pools, or the world-class spas.

Home destroyed in Tuesday afternoon fire
ALBANY -- One woman escaped uninjured after her home caught fire around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Firefighters said it started in the rear of 232 First St and quickly spread.
"I know that the doors are blocked. I don't know what's inside because we haven't been able to get past there," said Deputy Chief Frank Nerney with the Albany Fire Department.
Firefighters believe the homeowner may have been a "hoarder." Neighbors said items were piled from floor to ceiling inside the home.
"I just saw the fire start in the back of the yard. It was a big blaze in the back of the yard. I came back inside. detectives told me to come back outside. I wasn't sure what had happened," said Allester Henry, who lives next door.
It took about four hours for crews to get the fire under control. A demolition crew began tearing down the home around 10 p.m., but had to stop halfway through because of hotspots.
Power was initially knocked out to the block, but was restored around 8:30 p.m.

Motorola has thrived virtually without competition as Charlottes emergency radio company, scoring more than $60 million in no-bid contracts over the past decade.
The latest contract, approved by the Charlotte City Council last October, will cost the regions taxpayers up to $32 million for system maintenance and upgrades through mid-2020. Its the largest noncompetitive contract the city has awarded in more than three years.
The government bidding process is designed largely to save tax dollars. The idea: Competition usually prods companies to lower their prices.
But only one of the more than 20 contracts awarded to Motorola over the past decade involved competitive bidding.
The taxpayers of our region are getting burned, said Steve Koman, a former emergency communications consultant who assisted the city from late 2011 to early this year.
Koman contends the city failed to exercise due diligence by awarding the recent Motorola contract without soliciting competition and without asking independent experts whether it was the most cost-effective option. By May, hed grown so concerned that he notified the FBI.
Another sign of Motorolas supremacy: The company supplied all of the roughly 5,000 radios bought by city and county agencies over the past decade.
City officials insist theyve acted in the best interests of taxpayers and public safety agencies. They say shifting to a new company would be expensive and potentially risky, and that the city has received discounts by signing the recent multi-year contract with Motorola.
But cost, they say, is not the only concern. Motorolas two-way radios are widely considered the gold standard for public safety use. In the Charlotte area, police, firefighters and medics have come to trust the companys equipment, city officials say.
What has happened in the Charlotte region is by no means unique. A recent investigation by McClatchy, the company that owns the Observer, detailed an array of tactics used by Motorola to elbow out competitors and continue its decades-long dominance.
The stories described how the company has used close relationships with contracting officials, police, fire chiefs and county sheriffs, as well as numerous marketing strategies, to lock in business in all but a smattering of public safety agencies in the nations 20 largest cities.
In response to those stories, three senior House Democrats have asked the Department of Homeland Securitys internal watchdog to investigate whether Motorolas contracting tactics have led state and local governments to spend too many federal grant dollars on their radio systems.
Illinois-based Motorola, known as Motorola Solutions Inc. since 2011, when its parent split, said it has a robust compliance practice to ensure it follows all applicable laws and regulations. The company said it competes fairly for its customers business by offering them superior products and solutions.
In Charlotte, as in many other cities, Motorola has found ways to cultivate brand loyalty.
During the 2012 Democratic National Convention, Motorola loaned the city about 3,000 radios for use free of charge by law enforcement agents.
Company officials have also made smaller gestures. For instance, they periodically spring for pizza for those who work in the radio room, according to Danny Lovett, who leads the citys public safety communications team.
City officials say those deeds never influenced contract decisions.
While Motorola has a reputation for building reliable equipment, its radios tend to be more expensive than those of competitors. In Charlotte and many other cities, the lack of competition has kept prices high, experts say.
Public safety agencies in Mecklenburg have paid up to $5,000 apiece for some Motorola radios. Other companies sell radios meeting the same specifications for as little as $1,700.
Chuck Robinson, a former Charlotte official who played a key role in recommending radio contracts, said law enforcement agencies have a love-hate relationship with Motorola.
They really love the product, said Robinson, the citys shared services director until he retired in December. But they really wish they had some other options.
Big money, no bids
At their meeting on October 28, 2013, city council members took a big step with no public discussion: They approved the citys largest noncompetitive contract in years.
Under the agreement, Motorola will receive up to $32 million over the next seven to nine years to maintain, upgrade and expand the citys public safety radio network, which serves law enforcement and emergency workers in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties.
Experts say cities can often save millions by requesting competitive bids on projects that large. Other major companies say they could do much of the work and likely would have bid on it if theyd had the chance.
The Harris Corporation is among them. Based in Florida, the multibillion-dollar company is the leading supplier of tactical radios to the U.S. military, and has built statewide public safety radio systems in Florida, Maine and Pennsylvania.
Harris spokeswoman Victoria Dillon said she cant guarantee that her company could have done the Charlotte work for less money than Motorola. But she said the city likely could have reduced the cost to taxpayers by opening the project up for competition even if Motorola won the bid.
A competitive process tends to drive companies to the lowest price and the highest value, she said.
Kyle Connor, director of business development for Airbus DS Communications, another Motorola competitor, said he has seen many cities save money on radio systems by putting the projects out to bid.
One example: In 2011, Motorola asked officials in Shawnee County, Kan., for $19.2 million to build a digital radio system. The city chose to open the project up for bids instead. Motorola reduced its prices and won the contract. County taxpayers won too, saving $6 million.
Elsewhere in Kansas, Sedgwick County severed its long relationship with Motorola in 2011 and saved as much as $11 million in the process. The county awarded a contract to Cassidian Communications, a subsidiary of France-based aerospace and electronics giant Airbus Group. (Cassidian recently changed its name to Airbus DS Communications.)
Motorola helps craft plan
Charlotte officials contend it made sense to stick with Motorola.
The contract took shape after the citys public safety communications team led by Lovett, chief information officer Jeff Stovall and assistant CIO Barry Robbins began to create a strategic plan for the radio network. The team asked for help from Motorola, which for years had been in charge of maintaining the network.
Motorola presented a multi-year plan to maintain the network, support its growth and help prepare for the transition to newer technologies.
City spokeswoman Sabrina Colon said consulting with current vendors is pretty normal when city officials are planning the future direction of a program.
But Koman, the former city consultant, said the contract that Motorola helped craft will allow it to embed more patented equipment in the system, which in turn could prolong the citys dependence on the company.
Those who worked on the contract consulted with local public safety agencies. And they talked with officials from other cities that had entered into similar agreements with Motorola.
Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon, who in June pleaded guilty to a federal corruption charge, played no role in the contract discussions, city officials say.
Robinson made the final recommendation to the city managers office.
It was a tough decision to make, said Robinson, whose 250-employee shared services department drew up contracts for acquiring the equipment and services needed by multiple government agencies. I like nothing more than to compete.
He noted that the city awarded a $12.7 million contract to Alcatel-Lucent rather than Motorola in 2011 to create a high-speed broadband network for public safety agencies a project that was later scrapped. Many expected Motorola to win that contract, Robinson said. When they didnt, it was a shocker, he said.
But several factors, he said, made it hard to open the recent Motorola project up for competition.
Most of the equipment in the citys radio network is proprietary to Motorola. That, Robinson said, meant that only Motorola or one of its licensed partners could maintain it.
Experts say that for $32 million, the city could have pursued alternatives, such as asking another company to build and maintain its own system.
Robinson said that while its possible that would have saved tax dollars over the long run, it likely would have proved costly in the short term. And switching to a new system, he said, would raise the risk of technical problems that could put the lives of public safety officials in jeopardy during emergencies.
Connor, the Airbus DS Communications official, said that public safety agencies switch vendors smoothly on a regular basis and that ensuring problem-free transitions is a key focus of any new installation.
The technical challenges faced when an agency shifts to a new radio company are no more severe than those encountered when agencies keep the same company but switch to a new technology, he said.
Charlotte had previously signed annual maintenance contracts with Motorola, but city officials said theyve gotten a better deal with the new contract.
In exchange for signing the recent long-term agreement, the city will receive a 9 percent discount on existing prices for maintenance and infrastructure. The contract also allows the city to modify or cancel any of the scheduled projects or maintenance without penalty.
City councilman Michael Barnes said hed like the city to seek competing bids whenever possible. But because Motorola has provided most of the systems components, he said, it makes sense for them to maintain and upgrade it. He said he was comfortable with the staffs recommendation not to open the contract up to competition.
Youve got good experiences from other cities with this particular vendor, he said. Good savings.
A visit to the FBI
Koman, the former city consultant, argues that city officials missed a chance to save tax dollars. The emergency communications marketplace has become increasingly standardized, he said, so theres little justification for failing to get bids.
With rare exceptions, lack of competition means higher prices, said Koman, whose job responsibilities for the city of Charlotte included making sure that tax dollars were well spent. Especially when lack of competition is sustained over a long period of time as it has (been) for the Charlotte region
An expert in wireless communication systems, Koman has helped government agencies with emergency communications projects across the Carolinas, Georgia and Nevada. From 2006 to 2008, he worked as a contractor for Motorola; he said he ended his work there on good terms.
Koman said he became concerned last year because the city didnt seem to be following its own processes for soliciting competition on big projects.
He said his suspicions grew in March, when Cannon was accused of accepting tens of thousands of dollars in bribes.
So in May, he brought his concerns and information to an FBI agent.
The FBI declined to comment on whether it is investigating. Colon, the city spokeswoman, said Charlotte officials complied with the law and arent aware of any FBI investigation.
N.C. contracting statutes generally require formal bidding on the purchase of supplies, materials and equipment estimated to cost more than $90,000.
But service contracts arent subject to state bidding requirements. For that reason, Colon said, bidding wasnt required on the $32 million contract.
Firm retains dominance
City officials say theyve tried to open things up to other radio vendors. In 2011, the city and county qualified Motorola and three other companies to supply radios that can operate on a new digital system. But three years later, the only radios bought by local public safety agencies have been from Motorola.
Robinson said he understands the loyalty to Motorola. Its tried and true and trusted. If youre going to buy a device your life depends on, are you going to try something new?
Many of the pricier Motorola radios are equipped with important features, city officials say. A GPS function, for instance, allows dispatchers to track the locations of firefighters and police.
A problem, though, is that many of Motorolas products arent fully compatible with equipment made by other companies. The McClatchy series detailed how Motorola embedded proprietary features in its products, a practice that blocked interaction between its radios and competitors models.
Critics contend that violates the spirit of voluntary standards that are designed to ensure that all radio brands can interact. Those standards, put in place almost a decade ago, have led to increased competition and lower radio prices.
In 2012, the inspector general for Palm Beach County, Fla., faulted the county for the noncompetitive purchase of a new Motorola master controller a switch that ties together equipment purchased as far back as 1998 with the companys newer systems. Buying the switch will likely provide a continued sole-source justification for future equipment that can connect with proprietary Motorola hardware, the report by Inspector General Sheryl Steckler said.
Steckler chided county officials for signing the deal before conducting a comprehensive study of all replacement strategies, and for plowing $41 million into the current system without exploring whether a compatible and less expensive system could have been acquired.
Like Palm Beach, Charlotte did no such study before awarding the $32 million contract.
Motorola said many of its current products allow different agencies and different brands to interact.
Charlotte officials say they would gladly break away from Motorola if they thought they could get a better deal elsewhere. In the meantime, they wish they could get a better deal from Motorola.
Said Barry Robbins, the assistant CIO: Wishing aint getting, as my momma used to say.

Thousands in Asia held over World Cup bets
More than 5,000 people have been arrested across Asia as part of a World Cup operation against illegal gambling.
Almost $10m was seized during the crackdown in China, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, the international police force Interpol said.
Police in those countries "identified and raided nearly 800 illegal gambling dens", Interpol announced.
It is not clear whether results on the pitch were influenced - Interpol said that would form part of a wider probe.
"Start Quote
End Quote Jean-Michel Louboutin InterpolThe results we have seen are impressive"
In the past, so-called spot bets have been placed on things like the first corner or the first booking, much easier to fix than a match involving 22 players, says the BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris.
During Operation Soga III, which ran from 11 June to 11 July, police seized assets including cars, bank cards, computers and mobile phones.
The dens handled more than $155m (£100m) in bets, Interpol said.
Soga III operation details
- 793 raids in China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore
- 5,007 arrests
- Amount of bets involved: $155,541,216
- Amount of cash seized: $9,984,868
Source: Interpol
Interpol, which facilitates international police co-operation, is based in the French city of Lyon.
Police forces around the world now hope that the information gathered will lead them to more people involved in illegal football gambling.
Online networkThe crackdown would also have a long-term impact on organised crime gangs, said Interpol's chief of police services, Jean-Michel Louboutin.
It is pretty unprecedented to see this level of co-operation and co-ordination across such a wide area. That kind of cross-border co-operation has often been talked about in regional forums like Asean, and Apec, but trying to make it happen is often very tricky.
Getting Interpol to look at something that affects all the countries provided the push.
Gambling is mostly illegal across Asia. Despite the strict controls, though, it is hugely popular, hugely prevalent - it's just ingrained in the culture.
There are calls for it to be legalised, and controlled. But that goes against some religious strictures, some social conservative strictures. They argue this is not the way they want society to go.
Gambling may be a taboo, but it is very, very prevalent.
"The results we have seen are impressive, not only in the number of arrests and seizures made across the region in just one month, but in terms of the police co-operation which made this possible."
He added that the operation had also been a blow to corruption, money laundering and prostitution, and said football gambling had clear connections to those offences.
Interpol co-ordinated similar crackdowns in 2007 and 2008, codenamed Soga I and Soga II.
In total all three Soga operations have led to nearly 7,000 arrests and the seizure of more than $26m (£17m), Mr Louboutin said.
Last week details emerged of a Chinese gang accused of running a sophisticated online betting network in the run-up to the World Cup.
The gang, which was broken up last month, was alleged to have accumulated more than 100bn yuan (£9.7bn; $14.8bn), Chinese state media reported.

For Clinton, electing "the right female president" is important
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose every move is seen through the prism of her possible presidential aspirations, was asked on Wednesday whether it was important for the United States to elect a female president.
Clinton responded quickly and bluntly: "Well, the right female president, yes."
The comments came during the question and answer session of a UCLA lecture. When Professor Lynn Vavreck asked about reforming the way the United States picks a president - a process that Clinton is very familiar because of her 2008 failed bid for the Democratic nomination - the former first lady reflected on her experiences.
"We have this hybrid system that works for some people better than others, depending on your talents and the kind of attraction you can make and all the rest of it," Clinton said. "It is a tough set of circumstances for whoever is willing to endure it. I think it is hard to know what works better."
Clinton described the nomination process as "grueling" and something that has it "pluses and minuses."
Clinton's views on the process are especially poignant because the former senator from New York is the frontrunner for her party's 2016 nomination. But what is most telling in Clinton's comments is how she described the nomination process as a forum where someone with a certain set of talents and the ability to make a certain kind of attraction can thrive and win.
When Clinton ran for president in 2008, she was widely seen as the frontrunner for the nomination until then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama captured the attention of the Democratic base. Obama used soaring oratory and likeability to catapult past the Clinton and win the nomination and eventually the presidency.
"For me, and this is a little bit ancient history, but I lost in Iowa, and people said, 'ok, it's over.' And then I win in New Hampshire, surprising a lot of people," Clinton said detailing the nominating battle. "Then I lose in South Carolina. Then I win in Nevada."
Obama's ability to capture a crowd and relate to people is something even Clinton acknowledged while squaring off with Obama in 2008.
During a January debate in New Hampshire, Clinton admitted Obama "very likable." Obama's response - "You're likable enough, Hillary, no doubt about it" - has since become a defining moment in the 2008 campaign.
But questions about Clinton's relatability and likeabilty have nagged the former first lady since her days as first lady of Arkansas. When she ran for Senate in 2000, according to recently released documents from the Clinton Library, an aide encouraged her to "look for opportunities for humor" and stressed "it's important that people see more sides of you, and they often see you only in very stern situations."
But a poll released this week showed Clinton is plenty likeable for American. According to the Pew Research/USA Today poll, only 36% of Americans said Clinton was hard to like.
The former first lady, who was at UCLA as part of a trip to the West Coast and Canada, was also asked to give advice to the 1,800 people - 400 of which were students - in the audience. The former first lady, who is regularly the target of biting criticism, told the crowd to learn from those who knock you.
"Sometimes your critics can be your best friends, you really can learn from what people are saying," Clinton said. "But don't personalize it."
She continued by adding a small nugget of more advice for women: "There still is a double standard. ... And one of the most effective ways to go after a woman's confidence and determination is around appearance. Believe me, been there, done that."
To drive the point home, Clinton told a story about when she was working on voter registration in Texas during in 1972.
"I was going to a meeting... and I had to walk down a center aisle and make my pitch about registering voters," Clinton said. "Literally, out of my right ear I hear, 'I really hate that dress she is wearing.' And out of my left year, I hear, 'I like that dress she is wearing.' That is the kind of almost schizophrenia you live in when you put your self out there."
And while despite some playful prodding by the moderator, Clinton didn't announce she was running for president, she did acknowledge that it will in the future.
"I believe that it will happen," Clinton sad. "When it happens, how it happens, by who, we'll wait and see."

Karina Kainth, Alumna
School of Diplomacy and International Relations, Class of 2013
Greetings from Chennai, India! I sit writing this in a small shop that sells the best South Indian coffee in town (the secret is in the chicory root). As the bustle of city life surrounds me, I reflect on my time at Seton Hall and how it has prepared me for the experience of teaching in India through the Fulbright program.
Since the day I began my grant, I have found myself drawing upon lessons I learned during my time at Seton Hall. When conducting interviews for my research project on education policy, I have utilized my experience with the Envoy and my honors thesis project. My time abroad as a Critical Language Scholar in Jordan during my sophomore year at Seton Hall has better prepared me for cross-cultural communication here in Chennai. My internships with the State Department and my international relations classes have helped me to look at India's policies more analytically as I discuss the news with locals.
But in many ways, nothing could have prepared me for much of my experience in Chennai. From the chaos of daily life, in which people often invent their own traffic laws, to working within a completely different education system, I've been reminded time and again about the importance of adaptability in the face of unanticipated circumstances. I have had many firsts here: my first time as basically a full-time English teacher, devising my own syllabus for the conversational English classes that I teach; my first time eating rice and lentils with my hands; and my first time conducting a mostly unsupervised research project abroad.
The novelty of these experiences lends itself to many challenges, but also to many triumphs. The cultural disconnect I often face when I am teaching a class full of 50 students who don't completely understand my American accent, or are used to rote memorization rather than creative thinking in the classroom, can sometimes be frustrating. However, this challenge just propels me to be more innovative in my teaching, and the excited looks on students' faces when they learn to create their own skits in English or use a new grammar concept are so much more rewarding.
My experiences at Seton Hall were stepping stones that enabled me to embark on this amazing experience, and my time here in India continues to remind me how much I have yet to learn. However, it also empowers me to believe that a little creativity and an open mind can make any strange or uncomfortable experience a transformative one.

Richelieu, Armand-Jean du Plessis, cardinal and duke de
biographical name/
(born Sept. 9, 1585, Richelieu, Poitou, Francedied Dec. 4, 1642, Paris) French statesman and chief minister to Louis XIII. Born to a minor noble family, he was ordained a priest in 1607 and became bishop of Luçon. As the first bishop in France to implement reforms decreed by the Council of Trent, he brought order to a diocese ruined by the Wars of Religion. In 1614 he was elected a deputy of the clergy in the Estates-General, where he was noted as a conciliatory force. He became an adviser to Marie de Médicis in 1616 and later councillor to her son, Louis XIII. Named a cardinal in 1622, he served as chief minister from 1624 and became the controlling influence in France's policies. He established royal absolutism in France by suppressing the political power of the Huguenots and reducing the influence of the nobles. In foreign policy, he sought to weaken Habsburg control of Europe and involved France in the Thirty Years' War. Devious and brilliant, he increased the power of the Bourbon dynasty and established orderly government in France. He also founded the Académie Française and rebuilt the Sorbonne.

Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography to confirm brain death: a meta-analysis

Get AccessAbstract
Barbiturate therapy or hypothermia precludes proper diagnosis of brain death either clinically or by EEG. Specific intracranial flow patterns indicating cerebral circulatory arrest (CCA) can be visualized by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD). The aim of this study was to assess the validity of TCD in confirming brain death.
Meta-analysis of studies assessing the validity of TCD in confirming brain death.
A systematic review of articles in English on the diagnosis brain death by TCD, published between 1980 and 2004, was performed. An oscillating or reverberating flow and systolic spikes were considered to be compatible with CCA. The quality of each study was assessed using standardized methodological criteria. The literature was searched for any article reporting a false-positive result.
Two high-quality and eight low-quality studies were included. Meta-analysis of the two high-quality studies showed a sensitivity of 95% (95% CI 92–97%) and a specificity of 99% (95% CI 97–100%) to detect brain death. Meta-analysis of all ten studies showed a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 99%. In the literature we found two false-positive results; however, in both patients brain-stem function did show brain death shortly thereafter.
CCA by TCD in the anterior and posterior circulation predicted fatal brain damage in all patients; therefore, TCD can be used to determine the appropriate moment for angiography. Further research is needed to demonstrate that CCA by TCD on repeated examination can also predict brain death in all patients.

On antibiotic use Antibiotic resistant infections are considered a serious threat to public health by the Center for Disease Control — in 2002 alone, it is estimated that more than 99,000 people died as the result of a hospital-acquired infectious disease. In 1998, the Institute of Medicine estimated antibiotic resistance generated at least $4-$5 billion per year in extra costs to the U.S. health care system.
Care for animals during winter Winter, with its bitter wind, rain and snow, is rapidly approaching. Now is the time to check our dog houses and patch and repair all cracks and leaks. It is time for new, clean bedding. Straw is the best and this bedding needs to be replaced often and putting a board along the bottom of the door opening helps keep the bedding inside the house. Also, turning the door away from the wind helps protect your dog from the cold.
Nov. 17 is World Prematurity Day This year, for the first time, a World Prematurity Day will be observed on Thursday, Nov. 17 by the March of Dimes, along with organizations in Africa, Europe and Australia.
A Veteran's Day thank you On Veterans Day, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many citizens of Hardin County who made contributions to the Elizabethtown Disabled American Veterans Chapter 003 "Forget Me Not" fundraiser. Members of DAV Chapter 003 set up donation stations at the Fort Knox Commissary, Radcliff and Elizabethtown Wal-Mart stores, and the Dolphin Drive Kroger store in Elizabethtown. Please know that your donations will go to help local area veterans and their dependents.
Where's the fence? You have heard the old Wendy's commercial, "Where's the beef?" Well, I am wondering, "Where's the fence?" My neighborhood has been enveloped by the Elizabethtown Sports Park. Therefore, I assumed the park would be providing a privacy fence for the homes which lie adjacent to the ball fields. I was shocked and appalled this week to see they had planted tall, skinny shrubs as their idea of privacy and security (not to mention a noise barrier) between my back yard and the park.
Thoughts transcend all religions It is disturbing to read Mr. David Williams' comments on the ground-breaking Hindu ceremony performed in Elizabethtown. We are delighted to see that an Indian company is willing to do business in Kentucky, bringing more growth and jobs locally as opposed to losing jobs overseas. Gov. Steve Beshear needs to be commended for his focused proactive efforts.
Don't ignore the facts Thank you to The News-Enterprise editorial board for your view in the Oct. 27 edition: E'town should stick with facts. Four city councilmen (Ashlock, Fulkerson, Lewis, Walker) chose to ignore the facts and refused to provide E'town's population data to the Kentucky General Assembly in 2010, thereby holding E'town hostage in an incorrect fourth class.
Likeable vs. competent Why should Kentuckians vote for David Williams for governor? The No. 1 reason is if you are unhappy with Obamacare and the out-of-control spending that has us on the verge of bankruptcy as a country, remember this occurred when Democrats controlled the U.S. House, Senate and presidency. You should not want that for Kentucky. If elected, here is what you can expect from Steve Beshear:
Outraged about Williams' comments As a relatively new Kentuckian, I chose to retire in Elizabethtown precisely because of the kindness and core values people here freely share with all who visit or stay. I agree with the director of Flex Films in stating that David Williams' comments were "offensive and hurtful." I go further in saying that Mr. Williams' comments also are based on extreme ignorance and intolerance.
Suffering by proxy I have a question for my elected senator, Mitch McConnell, who also is a leader in Congress. He repeatedly has called on the president to make cuts in Social Security and Medicare. My question is why, as a leader, has he never proposed to cut his health care, retirement or safety net? I live in a country where our leaders feather their retirement, never share in the cuts and suffer by proxy. Randal A. Lanham Hardinsburg
