text: Environmental Cleaning Environmental Cleaning Introduction The cleanliness of a health care facility is vital to the health and safety of its patients, staff, and visitors as well as of the community. It is one of the foundations for preventing the transmission of infections in the facility. 68 Routine cleaning is necessary in order to ensure a hospital environment that is visibly clean and free from soil and dust. 90% of microorganisms are present within "visible dirt", and the purpose of routine cleaning is to eliminate this dirt. An additional benefit is that a clean facility looks appealing and improves the morale of staff and patients. This orderliness has been shown to enhance both the safety and quality of patient care and when absent can lead to clusters of Hospital- acquired infections. 69-71 Definition The term "environmental cleaning" refers to the general cleaning of environmental surfaces and to the maintenance of cleanliness in a health care facility. 72 It is the physical removal of organic materials such as soil and dirt, which removes a large proportion of microorganisms, followed by complete drying. 73 The staff responsible for environmental cleaning (housekeeping) is a specially trained worker. These personnel, hereafter referred to as housekeepers, are at risk of infection because they may be exposed to blood, body fluids, secretions, and excretions in the process of completing their duties unless they are properly trained in the use of protective equipment. Therefore, it is important that they have a good understanding of standard precautions and of infection control practices through education and training. 72 General Guidelines for Cleaning Cleaning Schedules Cleaning schedules should be developed by the head nurse in accordance with hospital policies and should be posted to where all staff that responsible for housekeeping can see and follow them closely. Regular supervision of their 120 Environmental Cleaning performance is important and is provided by the "Worker Supervisor". Routine cleaning is necessary to maintain a standard of cleanliness. Protective Clothing for Cleaning During cleaning, workers should always wear gloves (preferably heavy utility gloves) and shoes that cover the toes. If there is a potential for splashing or for splattering (e.g., during the cleaning of toilets), they may need additional protection such as an impermeable apron, mask, and protective eyewear. Cleaning Principles Warm water and detergent removes 80% of microorganisms. The majority of these microorganisms are skin flora and spores. Cleaning should be done in a way that minimizes the scattering of dust and dirt. A damp cloth or wet mop should be used for walls, floors, and surfaces instead of dry dusting or sweeping. As an alternative to the dry mop, a vacuum cleaner can be used for dust removal. If possible, hospital vacuum cleaners should have filters in order to reduce dissemination of bacteria from the vacuum exhaust. Cleaning should begin from the least soiled area to the most soiled area, which is usually the toilets and soiled storage areas. Surfaces should be washed from top to bottom so that debris falls to the floor and is cleaned up last. The highest fixtures should be cleaned first, working downward to the floor (e.g. ceiling lamps, shelves, tables, and lastly, the floor). The use of friction or scrubbing action is the most effective way to remove dirt and microorganisms in every cleaning procedure. The floors should be mopped with warm water and detergent and dried. Cleaning solutions should be changed frequently. If a disinfectant is used, the disinfectant solution is less likely to kill infectious microorganisms if it is heavily soiled. Cleaning of environmental surfaces should be performed by using separate buckets. One container should contain detergent and the other one should contain plain water. The procedure starts by wiping or scrubbing with detergent, followed by rinsing with water, and drying at the end. Cleaning procedures for environmental surfaces must not be applied to patient care equipment/instruments (e.g., dental instruments, thermometer). The cleaning methods and products may differ significantly. Reusable equipment (e.g., bed, chairs) is not used for the care of another patient until it has been cleaned appropriately. Buckets should be washed and rinsed out after use and stored dry. 121 Environmental Cleaning Mops should be laundered daily in very hot water and detergent or in a washing machine (if available) and dried thoroughly. Wet mops should not be left standing in a bucket. Ward surfaces, rails, bedsteads, etc. should be damp-dusted with a detergent cleaner. Bathtubs should be washed with warm water and detergent and then should be dried. Toilets must be cleaned regularly and surfaces dried. Toilet room floors must be dried thoroughly. If there is a reason to use a disinfectant in addition to the detergent cleaner, make up the solution and use as directed by the label. Note: Disinfectants are NOT recommended for routine use. Cleaning Staff An adequate number of cleaning staff should be available to enable the healthcare facility to maintain a clean environment. 9, 11, 68, 73 Personnel who clean patient-care equipment must receive special training on the proper procedures. Written cleani ng instructions should be available for each piece of equipment. Cleaning personnel should have their work inspected on completion in order to ensure that the cleaning has been done properly. Common Methods for Cleaning Dry Cleaning Method The dry cleaning method relies on mechanical action to loosen and to remove large objects and particulate soil but does not remove stains. Dry cleaning is not suitable for wet or greasy areas. 73 Sweeping The use of dry brooms, dry mops and dry dusters should be avoided in patient treatment and food preparation areas as it is not efficient and it is potentially hazardous. It leads to the dissemination of bacteria carrying particles and increases the air-borne bacterial count nearly tenfold. If sweeping is unavoidable, it should not be permitted in the immediate vicinity of patients with exposed wounds and other sites where patients are at high risk for infection, e.g., ICU. Enough time should be allowed for disseminated bacteria- carrying particles to settle. 73 122 Environmental Cleaning Wet Cleaning Method Wet cleaning is accomplished manually by a damp cloth, damp mop, or deck scrubber using water with or without detergent and with or without disinfectant. In addition to water, mechanical action (i.e., scrubbing) is used. Routine use of chemical disinfectants is not necessary. If a detergent cleaner is used, rinsing is recommended, since detergents become concentrated, leading to a build-up of a detergent film. Drying is essential. Moist surfaces are considered potentially contaminated because moisture encourages bacterial growth. Direct patient care and food preparation areas should not be used until completely dry. 73 Types of cleaning solutions used during housekeeping: Plain detergent and water (i.e., detergent solution). Detergent cleaners are used for general cleaning tasks. Detergents, e.g., soap, remove dirt and organic material and dissolve or suspend grease, oil, and other matter for easy removal by scrubbing. 68 Disinfectant Disinfectants rapidly kill or inactivate infectious microorganisms during the cleaning process. In most settings a chlorine solution made from locally available bleach is the cheapest and most accessible disinfectant. 72 68 Disinfectants are also used to clean up spills of blood or other body fluids and body fluids and to decontaminate items of infected patients. Disinfectants rapidly kill or inactivate infectious microorganisms during the cleaning process while detergents remove dirt and organic material. Removal of dirt and organic material cannot be done by water or disinfectants alone. 68 Note: Chlorine (bleach) solutions should never be mixed with cleaning products that contain ammonia or phosphoric acid. Combining these chemicals will result in the release of a chlorine gas, which can cause nausea, eye irritation, tearing, headache, and shortness of breath. These symptoms may last for several hours. If you are exposed to an unpleasantly strong odor following the mixing of a chlorine solution with a cleaning product, leave the room or area immediately until the fumes have cleared completely. 68 Accidents can be avoided by ensuring all solutions are clearly labeled and o nly one type of disinfectant solution is available in the cleaning supplies storage area. 123 Environmental Cleaning Environmental Disinfection Disinfectants The term disinfectant should be reserved for chemicals used on environmental surfaces. The term antiseptic is used for chemicals used on skin (alcoholic handrubs) for hand hygiene or cleansing patient skin. (See "Operating Theatre") Are most efficient if used according to instruction and at the correct dilution. Differ in their properties depending on the circumstances. May be rapidly inactivated by organic matter, e.g. blood. Any object that is to be disinfected must therefore be cleaned thoroughly with warm water and detergent prior to disinfection. Hard Surfaces Hard surfaces do not usually require disinfectants for effective cleaning. Warm water with detergent is usually sufficient to remove all organic contamination. A disinfectant may be used with a high degree of contamination such as a large blood spill that may involve blood-borne pathogens. Rules for Disinfectants Read the label and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Check the expiration date of the solution. Ensure that the correct dilution is used. Always wash and clean articles before disinfection. Do not refill disinfectant containers without cleaning and drying the container between each use – topping off a partially filled container is not permitted. Disinfectants should be supplied in a ready-for-use dilution from the pharmacy. Empty containers should be returned to the pharmacy. Do not use empty containers to store any other solutions – this is dangerous as the wrong solution might be used in the wrong situation. Open containers of disinfectant should not be tolerated in any hospital environment as there is a serious risk of contamination with multiply- antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, such as Pseudomonas species and spores. Where disinfectants are indicated for use on surfaces allow the disinfectant to remain on the surface for a sufficient amount of time to inactivate microbes. The instructions for use on the label of the disinfectant usually specify the contact time. 124 Environmental Cleaning Table 19: Commonly Used Disinfectants Chlorine-based Alcohol Hydrogen peroxide disinfectants Antimicrobial Alcohol does not They are fast acting and Hydrogen peroxide activity penetrate well have a broad spectrum and peroxygen into organic of antimicrobial activity. compounds have a matter, especially Diluted solutions are broad spectrum of protein-based unstable and should be antimicrobial activity.

However, there are variable concentrations as 5.25% or others are available. Therefore, for ensuring appropriate concentrations, part per millions will be used instead of percentages. Different parts per millions are used for different purposes as cleaning, disinfection (low, intermediate, high) and sterilization (see table below). Chlorine-containing compounds are described as having a certain percentage of "active" chlorine. The amount of active chlorine is usually described as a percentage. It is important to know the concentration of chlorine so that a solution with the appropriate percentage of active chlorine can be prepared. With liquid bleach, this information is often noted on the bottle. Any concentration of bleach can be used to make the required part per million solution by using the following formula: 74 Number of parts of ( [% active chlorine in liquid bleach] p.p.m. Chlorine desired ) –1 = water added to one part of bleach Example: To make a 100 p.p.m. chlorine solution from 5% active chlorine [5% / 100 ppm] – 1 = (5 / 100) / (100 / 1000000) – 1 = 500 – 1 = 499 parts of water for each part of bleach So to prepare 100 ppm chlorine solution from 5% chlorine we should add 499 parts of water (499cc-or approximately ½ liter) to each part (1cc) of the concentrated (5%) chlorine. Table 20: Classification of Chlorine Concentrations Disinfection Cleaning Sterilization* Low Intermediate High * 100 PPM 200 PPM 500 PPM 1000 PPM 52000 PPM * Chlorine in these concentrations is very corrosive and not practically used. 126 Environmental Cleaning Cleaning Techniques Double-Bucket and Triple-Bucket Technique The double-bucket technique is the most common and preferred method for cleaning floors. Using two buckets minimizes recontamination of mopped areas. Double- and triple bucket systems can extend the useful life of the detergent solution. Fewer changes of the detergent solution are required. In triple-bucket technique, the third bucket is used for wringing out the mop before rinsing with water. Triple-bucket technique extends the life of the rinse water. One bucket contains the detergent (or disinfectant detergent) solution and the other one water. The mop is always rinsed and wrung out before it is dipped into the detergent bucket. The efficacy of the disinfectant decreases with increased soil or microbial load. 59 Cleaning Levels for Different Clinic Areas Low-Risk Areas: Waiting Rooms, Administrative Areas These areas are usually not contaminated with blood or body fluids or with associated infectious microorganisms so the risk of infection is minimal. Routine cleaning- the kind of cleaning you would do in your home – is usually good enough for these areas. In general, clean these areas with a cloth or mop dampened with detergent and water. 72 Intermediate Risk Areas: Patient Wards These are areas used for the care of patients who a re not obviously infectious and not highly susceptible. These areas are usually cleaned by procedures that control dust, such as damp mopping with detergent cleaners. Dry sweeping or vacuum cleaners are not recommended. The use of detergent solution improves the quality of cleaning. Spills of blood and body fluids are cleaned up with a disinfectant solution. 75 High Risk Areas These are special care areas (e.g., isolation wards, intensive therapy units, operating room, and dialysis unit). In these areas there is a greater potential pathogen contamination with infectious materials and more of a concern about potential infection transmission to both patient and clinic staff. These areas must be cleaned with care using a cleaning solution and separate cleaning equipment; disinfectant-detergent solutions are used as needed, according to hospital policy. 72 127 Environmental Cleaning Cleaning Supplies/Equipment Cleaning supplies must be kept dry and stored properly. Reusable cleaning supplies should be washed and disinfected after use. Cleaning supplies/equipment include: Dry sweeper Mop with long handles Heavy duty gloves Damp cloth Mop bucket Detergent (e.g., liquid soap) Disinfectant (chlorine solution) Water Closed plastic shoes Reprocessing, Washing of Cleaning Equipment Dry sweeper Dry, dust attracting Reprocess or wash if overloaded with dust or after max. 1 -2 days. Alternatively a single-use disposable cover may be used and disposed of after each use. Non-disposable dust mop covers must be vacuumed after each use. Use single-use covers impregnated with mineral oil to enhance dust attracting properties. Mop with long handles Wet Mop heads must be changed daily. Reprocess by machine washing in hot water (80 °C) (i.e., thermal disinfection) and tumble dry. Mop bucket Buckets should be washed with detergent (e.g. soap), rinsed with water, dried, and stored inverted. 128 Environmental Cleaning Frequency of Cleaning Low-risk clinical areas: Once daily and whenever needed. Intermediate-risk areas: At least once daily, and whenever needed, e.g. after visits. Immediate removal of organic material. High-risk areas: cleaning will be more frequent. These areas must be cleaned between each patient and thoroughly at the end of the day. A cleaning policy developed should take into consideration immediate cleaning after any organic contamination e.g. blood spills, vomitus, urine, stool, body fluids, etc. Cleaning Up Spills Clean up spills of potentially infectious fluids immediately. Besides preventing the spread of infection, prompt removal also prevents accidents. When cleaning up spills: Always wear gloves, such as disposable or heavy duty gloves. If the spill is small, wipe it with a disposable cloth and then disinfect the surface area of the spill with another disposable cloth that has been saturated with a disinfectant (10000 PPM chlorine solution). If the spill is large, place a disposable paper or cloth towel over the spill to soak up the fluid then add non-diluted chlorine. Still wearing gloves, pick up the towel, dispose into a bag to be disposed as biological waste and then soak the area with non-diluted chlorine. Leave it for considerable time then dry the surface. Do not simply place a cloth over the spill for cleaning up later; someone could easily slip and fall on it and be injured. Remember, contaminated equipment spreads, rather than reduces, microorganisms in the environment. Supplies and equipment used for cleaning also need to be cleaned (see under cleaning of equipment). 72 Ineffective Practices Two housekeeping practices – fumigation and the use of ultraviolet (UV) light – are common in many facilities but should be eliminated. These practices are time-consuming, waste valuable resources, and do not decrease the risk of infection in your facility. 76 129 Environmental Cleaning Fumigation Fumigation with formalin, formaldehyde, or paraformaldehyde is an ineffective method of reducing the risk of infection. It is a perfect example of a practice that is not based on scientific findings. Besides being ineffective, these agents are toxic and irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes. Fumigation is time-consuming and makes rooms unavailable for use, often leading to disruption of services or unnecessary inconvenience to clients and staff. Thorough cleaning with a disinfectant cleaning solution and scrubbing should be used instead of fumigation. 76 Ultraviolet (UV) light In general, this is neither a practical nor cost-effective. In the largest and best- designed scientific study on this topic, no decrease was shown in the surgical- site infection rate when UV light was used. Although UV light does have some uses in specialized sites (such as tissue culture laboratories), UV light is unsatisfactory for general use in health cares facilities because: The killing ability of UV light decreases sharply: 1) if relative humidity is greater than 60% - 70%; 2) if dust is present (in the air, on surfaces, or on the bulb itself) and 3) with increasing distance from the lamp. UV light does not penetrate most substances (including fluids and organic matter, such as mucous) and will therefore only kill microorganisms directly on the surface that are exposed to the UV light. The intensity of UV light needed to effectively kill microorganisms is damaging to humans. Prolonged exposure can lead to eye or skin irritation. UV lighting fixtures are expensive to install and maintain. Regular servicing, including removing dust from the bulbs, is required. Cleaning by scrubbing is the most efficient and cost-effective way to clean potentially contaminated areas in your facility. 76 130 Environmental Cleaning Cleaning of equipments and patient care articles Table 21: Cleaning of Equipment and Patient-Care Articles Equipment, Acceptable alternative Routine or preferred Cleaning patient-care or additional method schedule articles recommendations Bathtub Non-infected patients: Infected patients: After each Scrub with detergent Disinfect after cleaning use Bath water usually solution.

New Prince Graphite/Summer
I was dropping off a couple of my POGs today to be strung and the shop owner told me they expected a new Prince Graphite this summer. He indicated the local Prince rep had been in and said that it would be a return to grommets and a new cosmetic.
Anyone else heard this or any other talk on specs? |
That would be great! Would love to see a 1" extended come back as well.
Last I heard, Prince pushed the release of all of their new product to Fall.
Yep, heard from a very good source that Prince is updating and releasing a new POG.
I can't see how Prince can markedly improve on the current TW POG except for an extra gram or two of weight in the handle and a less hollow feel. I suppose we should fear the worst - that it'll be a horrible cosmetic update that completely obliterates the classic simplicity of the current model. Maybe it's time we stocked up on the old one? Manufacturers only ever seem to polarise longtime users with each new iteration.
racket with 30 percent more spin??? Same as the new wilson's perhaps? |
Hmm, I suppose the "30 percent more spin" claim is connected to the EXO frames, but maybe they will also offer a 16/16 pattern in a traditional frame. Or does anyone have precise info on this yet?
Somewhere here I think I read that Prince plans to introduce a new version of the Diablo, that would be very interesting as well. |
ESP Tour is an open pattern frame. It's been discussed since last summer (before the Steam). It's an O Port frame.
There are literally no 28 inch new players frames on the market today (except for custom options such as Angell or Bosworth). :-? Quote:
I picked up a Chang Titanium Mid last week, will hit with it today - have another Titanium mid coming next week as well as a Chang Graphite OS. I do love the extended sticks. Hit with RipSticks (29") and a ThunderBolt (28.5") for years with no issue until last year when I put RPM Team in my RipStick at 60 lbs and screwed my wrist. So I figure the 28" will be easier on my wrist and arm but still give me some more pop and spin. We'll see how that goes. I'm on the lookout for a Prince Graphite Longbody as I think they may be foam filled? Cheers |
P.S.: Length is only one spec. Balance, swingweight, flex. It all counts. I've played with numerous extended racquets and while some were real logs to swing, others were lighter than the specs would indicate. It doesn't come down to length alone. You have to take all specs into account. |
Still love the sticks in my sig but if I can play long racquets without pain then I'll probably do that. I'm thinking that the Changs may be the ticket but we'll see. So Automatix, please share your fave long racquets? Cheers |
Nostalgia (re-release an old product) is a way to seem like you're putting out new products without making any actual capital investment in developing new products. Prince fans should be discouraged by this possibility.
Donnay makes great classic graphite style frames. Would be nice for Prince to add POG like frames back into the mix |
^^ I don't think it's done Donnay any good either. Donnay brought in a Wilson bigshot (John Embree) to handle sales and marketing in 2011, I understand he had left a year later to do other things, so I'm not sure it's going all that well there. Retro is not usually an effective business plan.
I'll start from the Prince Graphite Longbody since this is the frame we'd like to see again. Owned for a couple of weeks before selling it back to the original owner (he sold it, but after a while begged me to sell it back to him). Very headlight, little to none mass in the hoop, soft but not a noodle. Good access to spin, a bit tougher to handle when going for a flat shot. With some tweaking I could see switching to this racquet. However back then I preferred 18x20 stringpattern frames so after I got an opportunity to sell it for the same price I bought it I didn't really think of buying a new one and playing with lead and silicone to alter it to my liking. Another frame that I remember was the Head i.Prestige Mid XL (27.75 inches long). One of those racquets which were just too demanding for me. While it was a true blast to serve with this baby I just couldn't hit a clean backhand to save my life. I thought it's a matter of time and adjustment but it wasn't... but I still remember what a joy it was to rip a nice flat one down the T with it. Around the time I've started to appreciate open string pattern racquets I've been playing with Kneissl Red Stars aka yellow stripe (ca 2007 edition, 27.5 inches long). They were fantastic frames. Quality finish, sturdy, powerful and very comfortable. The problem was I couldn't time them as much as I wanted to. They were very string sensitive and really shined with the factory string (Kneissl Polytech). They were simply marvellous when playing in defence from the baseline however I couldn't transit from defence to offence if you know what I mean. Wilson ProStaff Classic 6.1 Stretch 95 (28 inches long). A stiffer, crisper, classic Wilson Pro Staff feel. Also very powerful frames despite the 18x20 string pattern. Bought them as an alternative to my Yonex Pro RD 70 Long 95s (saving them for last). Never could find the groove with these also while I didn't find them uncomfortable (68RA or something in the upper 60s) I'm not really a fan of the ol' Wilson feel. I prefer the softer, smother response of Prestige like frames. A recent talk about Babolat racquets reminded me of a very brief encounter with a Babolat Pure Control Zylon Plus (27,5 inches long). It was a very, very short hit and I've never owned one but this model really impressed me. For the weight it was plenty stable, it had easy access to power and spin without sacrificing control. I have to say that in this "weight class" it was the best +0.5inch or longer racquet I've hit with. It outperformed the Red Star in terms of spin and control, it was also more manoeuvrable. And last but not least my current frames - Yonex Pro RD 70 Long 95 (28 inches long). I haven't seen anything which would be even slightly similar to this model. This frame screams specific. 16-19mm beam (16mm at the tip), a 16x17 (no typo, 17 crosses) in a 95 square inch size head. What can I say, this racquet is a spin monster. The fewer crosses:mains ratio design is something which can be treated as a prelude to the Wilson Spin Effect (16x15 string pattern) and the Prince ESP (16x16 string pattern). And it really works. Great feel, ball pocketing, not power deficient but you really have to give it all to achieve decent depth on your shots. This frame is like a scalpel however it is unstable at the hoop, while it is a common problem with headlight 28 inch long racquets in this model the beam design (taper down up to the tip) enhances the problem. Although it is supposed to have some "tech" called anti-twist cross section in the hoop it doesn't really help. It can be easily fixed with some lead ranging from 10 to 2 o'clock however this increases the already high swingweight and shifts the balance towards the head. I love this model even with the weaknesses mentioned and the fact it is by far too demanding for me... but heck, I play for fun not for "glory". I've played with and owned many more extended length frames including pro stocks but the above come to mind when I reminiscent my younger tennis days. |
You're probably right but I'm hoping it isn't so. Quote:
Automatix Thanks for the reply! I'll report on the Changs but will try to locate the Yonex and Bab models you mentioned. The Kneissl sounds nice but demanding and although I love my 18 x 20 Donnay X-Plat, I'm more a fan of open string patterns so that leaves the Wilson out Cheers and thanks again! |

"We are doing a great deal here": The Letters of Civil War Sharpshooter Moses Hill, Part 3
I hope you've been enjoying the letters of Moses Hill as much as I have. After last month's installment, we pick up his story in April 1862 at the beginning of the siege at Yorktown, Va. Moses anticipated a hard fight: "I dred it for I know there must be a great loss of life on both sides."
Now eight months into his service, Moses wrote candidly about the realities of war, describing some of the fighting in wrenching detail. Sharpshooters played an important role in battle by picking off enemy soldiers from a distance to provide cover for their own troops. Moses told his wife Eliza how, at Yorktown, he and his company kept the Rebels from reloading their guns by firing at them every time they rose above the fortifications. While he was proud of his company's skill, he refused to kill gratuitously:
I do not shoot Rebels for money or by the head. I shal not nor I have not shot any one unless it is agoing to do some good for the Countery. I have had balls come around me very close when I did not return a shot for as to slowtering men when it does no good I cannot do. When we fight for a victory then is my time if any. Some take pride in going out and shoot a man from the Rebel brest work when it does now good at all, but I cannot slawter in that way nor I will not.
Moses also disapproved of his fellow soldiers' predilection for drinking, gambling, and swearing. He felt too much was at stake to tolerate poor discipline, with the enemy so close and an attack expected at any moment. He described sleeping with his rifle by his head and frequently waking in the middle of the night to the "rower [roar] of musketery."
The most poignant and evocative passages in Moses's letters are those juxtaposing these combat experiences with peaceful memories of his home in Medway, Mass. He painted vivid pictures of life after the war:
Eliza you do not know how much I think of home you and the Children. It seems as if the summer could not pass off without my seeing home. Tell Asahell Lovell that I would like to be at home so I could go a fishing with him this spring but I cannot. I would like to go down on the River bank where all is still and where I should not be oblige to look on all sides to see if some Rifle or a musket was pointing at me, or to not listen to here if there was a shell coming over my head so that I could drop on the ground before it bursts, or to lay myself down at night to sleep where I knew I should not be attacked before morning....There is cannonading now within a 1/4 of a mile of us. I stop my pen to listen to here where the shells burst.
The sound of gunfire was nearly constant, but all around him were signs of spring. Moses was sitting under a blossoming apple tree when he wrote: "If I ever come home...I shal know how to apreaceate home more then I ever did before. Men living in Mass dont know what home is."
Confederate forces withdrew from Yorktown during the night of May 3-4, and Union troops, including the 1st Massachusetts Sharpshooters, followed them west to Richmond. Come back to the Beehive.

The saddleback or tīeke belongs to New Zealand's unique wattlebird family (Callaeidae), an ancient group which includes the endangered kōkako and the extinct huia. It is a medium sized bird, and adults of both sexes have similar plumage.
The bird's main feature is a conspicuous chestnut-coloured saddle on its back, but it also has chestnut on the tip of its tail, a black bill, black legs, and orange, "fleshy" wattles either side of its throat.
The saddleback or tīeke belongs to New Zealand's unique wattlebird family, which also includes the endangered kōkako and the extinct huia
South Island saddleback/tīeke
All saddlebacks are extinct on the mainland, and live either in captivity or on islands. Saddlebacks are found mostly in the middle and lower layers of the forest, usually on the ground, probing through dead wood and leaf litter for weta, grubs and other insects. They also eat fruits of various forest trees, such as kawakawa and coprosma.
North Island saddleback/tīeke
Saddlebacks were once widespread throughout New Zealand's mainland and island forests. Their decline began in the mid 19th century, caused by forest clearance and introduced predators such as ship rats, feral cats and stoats.
By this century, both species were close to extinction. South Island saddlebacks were limited to three islands: Big South Cape, Pukeweka, and Soloman Islands (near Stewart Island), while the North Island species was restricted to Hen Island in the Hauraki Gulf.

North Island saddleback juvenile
In the early 1960s, disaster struck the southern species. A boat accidentally brought ship rats to Big South Cape Island (largest of its three island homes), and quickly spread to the other two. The result was an ecological nightmare for many endemic species and caused the extinction of the Stewart Island snipe, Stead's bush wren and the greater short-tailed bat.
The New Zealand Wildlife Service (now incorporated into the Department of Conservation) came to the rescue and saved the saddleback from extinction.
Early in 1964, the NZ Wildlife Service successfully transferred some North Island saddlebacks from Hen Island, Hauraki Gulf to nearby Whatapuke Island. This was possibly the first time the translocation of a species had been successfully carried out.
This led the way for the translocation of South Island saddlebacks from their rat-plagued islands to predator-free ones. The current population of over 700 birds is descended from the survivors of the 36 saddlebacks rescued in 1964.
This method of translocating species to island refuges continues to be a major strategy of the Department of Conservation.
The North Island saddleback is now resident on nine large islands (7,000 hectares) and is in a favourable position to survive. The South Island species is on 11 smaller islands (500 hectares) and it needs translocating onto further predator-free islands if it is to recover.

Co-operation between local iwi, who harvest muttonbirds on several of the islands, and the department has been crucial to the success of the conservation work being carried out for the southern species.
The Department of Conservation has established a recovery plan for the endangered South Island saddleback/tīeke.
The plan aims to:

Ramadan teaches self-discipline, righteousness
Muslims in the Valley, as well as everywhere around the world, are preparing for the fasting the month of Ramadan starting Thursday.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar calendar, which is 10 or 11 days shorter than the solar calendar. Ramadan is considered a sacred month in which the glorious Quran, God's word, was revealed to prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him) for the first time more than 1400 years ago.
Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. The other four pillars are:
The testament of faith (to declare that there is no God but Allah and Muhammed is His messenger).
Offering the five daily prayers (dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset and night).
Paying Zakah (alms), which is an obligatory charity that the Muslim must pay once a year (2.5 percent of one's wealth) to the poor and needy.
Hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca once in a lifetime for those who are physically and financially capable to do so.
Fasting means to refrain from eating, drinking and marital obligations before the break of dawn until sunset. It is obligatory for adult Muslims. Exempt from fasting are young children, the elderly, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Travelers and sick adults may break their fast then make up for the missed days later on.
Ramadan is a monthlong school that teaches righteousness, self-discipline and self-control. Ramadan is a month of mercy, tolerance and forgiveness. It is an eye-opener and self-experience of what the less fortunate, the poor and the needy, are enduring and experiencing in their everyday lives.
Fasting in Ramadan is an occasion to show one's commitment and submission to Allah Almighty and a chance to express gratitude for his countless blessings and guidance.
At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid-Ul-Fitr, a holiday that continues for three days. They offer the Eid congregational prayer at the mosque then visit one another and exchange sweets.
Randa Shabayek is a member of the Masjid Al-Khair mosque in Youngstown.

Overcast ~ Freezing Rain Advisory Tuesday, Mar. 3, 2015 |
Please come to IndianaPosted Friday, February 13, 2009, at 1:37 PM
As my status as a part-time music critic indicates, I have and have always had an obsession with music. It borders on unhealthy at times, but I think I can keep it in check.
But the side of my hunger for music I have rarely fed recently is my love of the live show. Since early in my college years, I've been quite the concert-goer, with my taste developing over time from the enormous outdoor festival show down to the club show. There's something I like about being on one of a few hundred and having the chance to stand 5 feet from the band. But my last concert was like 11 months ago, and I fear I may be losing my edge. I've talked about going to shows in recent months, but it never seems to pan out. While I'll allow that the tanking economy plays into my decision, the kinds of shows I really like cost $20 at most. Even as a poor man, I can afford them. Even more frightening is the fact that one of my current favorite bands, the Avett Brothers, has been within an hour of here twice since June. In both cases, I talked myself out of making the trip for some reason or another. But in the end, I fear the problem is much bigger than me. The problem lies in the fact that most of the bands I love come from the east coast, the west coast or Texas. And if you're from any of those places, I'm pretty sure Indiana seems to be about the lamest place you can go. Even other bands from the Midwest seem down on our fair state, as "Indianapolis," by Festus, Mo.'s Bottle Rockets testify. However, I don't know if a Missouri band really has the coolness high ground. I don't know. Maybe they're right, but I think the quality indie rock and alt-country acts should know they have fans here, too. In spite of what outsiders might think, we don't just sit around listening to Mellencamp all day. And some of us also think radio country is horrible. I just want to see the quality bands I love nearby. Give me Spoon. Give me Old 97's. Give me the Gaslight Anthem. Give me Mark Olson & Gary Louris. Just give me something that isn't another Kenny (I think I'm Jimmy Buffett) Chesney show. We have one metropolitan area and three good-sized college towns within an hour of here. I think one or two central Indiana tour stops wouldn't be asking too much. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] Excellent point. Indiana ends up skipped because of its location all the time. It's time to be counted again, especially since we can handle a Super Bowl! -- Posted by caaricha on Fri, Feb 13, 2009, at 4:52 PM

Anthony G.Yoakam, 50, of Dothan was involved in a two vehicle crash about 1:00 a.m. on Ross Clark Circle at or near the intersection with Hodgesville Road according to a Dothan Police spokesperson.
Sgt. Maurice "Mac" Eggleston said Yoakam failed a field sobriety test administered following the crash. The wreck is not believed to have left anyone seriously injured. His blood alcohol content is not known at this time.
Previous news articles identified Yoakam as Director of Constituent Services for Smith who has served in the Senate since 1999. However, Yoakam said Friday he recently resigned that position to work as a contract employee for Smith's re-election campaign.
Smith is out of town attending the graduation of a family member and not available for comment at this time according Gayla White, the chairman of her petition campaign.

Dictionary » R » Rainbow Rainbowrainbow A bow or arch exhibiting, in concentric bands, the several colours of the spectrum, and formed in the part of the hemisphere opposite to the sun by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays in drops of falling rain. Besides the ordinary bow, called also primary rainbow, which is formed by two refractions and one reflection, there is also another often seen exterior to it, called the secondary rainbow, concentric with the first, and separated from it by a small interval. It is formed by two refractions and two reflections, is much fainter than the primary bow, and has its colours arranged in the reverse order from those of the latter. Lunar rainbow, a fainter arch or rainbow, formed by the moon. Marine rainbow, or sea bow, a similar bow seen in the spray of waves at sea. (Science: zoology) Rainbow trout See wrasse.

Why I can't help sitting on the fence
Someone's got my number. A critic in a blog, which I will call "Small Melon, Various Fruits", describes my column as a "Beijing-sympathetic-but-not-pro-Communist, pluralistic-but-not-pro-dem act." I couldn't have used fewer words if I tried to explain myself to my elderly parents.
For that, he said I surely deserve a Bronze Bauhinia Star. Just bronze? I was hoping for gold, despite the precious metal's price plunge. But I doubt Leung Chun-ying, our government boss, would consider me for the august prize, given the disproportionate number of nasty columns I have devoted to rounding on his government. My fruity critic has a much more impressive routine, though, a sort of "I feel compassion for Hong Kong but only because I'm so much cleverer than the natives". We have plenty of expats with that sort of superiority complex that is constantly hinted at but a social taboo to admit to. That would be too arrogant and possibly racist now, wouldn't it?
As for my sitting on the fence, which a few readers of his blog apparently consider a sin, I can't help myself. Sorry, there are just no real communists in China to join forces with; those who still fancy themselves as such are either nutcases or nonagenarians dozing off in Zhongnanhai.
What about my failure to support the pan-dems? Well, I don't know about you, but I really find it hard to side with such old drama queens as Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, Jimmy Lai Chee-ying and Martin Lee Chu-ming. Perhaps my blogging critic likes and admires those kiddies from Scholarism, as many in Hong Kong apparently do. As a father, I consider it bad parenting to let children spend so much time holding forth in press conferences and fighting city hall.
We live in an age of democracy and there is no rolling back the clock. But as soon as you point out there might be problems, you unfailingly hear the same comeback: "No one ever says democracy is perfect/ideal/a cure-all …." But the way some people fetishise "democracy" and brook no criticism, you kind of get the impression they really think it's godly perfection itself. Well, at least they believe in something.
My dear critic seems to believe, first and last, in his own witticisms and cynicism. There are at least some "isms" he believes in.
