When my General Dentist advised me to have two molars on each side of my lower jaw removed I was beyond terrified. I knew that there was no way for me to undergo the procedure without some type of twilight medication. Dr Redmon is a participating provider with my dental,insurance so I called his office. I had a consult the next day. His office staff was so warm and welcoming. New X-rays had to be taken because the ones my general dentist there were some different angles needed. That was quick and efficient and then I met with Dr.Redmon. he was so nice and explained everything clearly. He was very reassuring. After I met with him I met with the insurance claim specialist who had all the figures for costs and reimbursements clearly defined. The next morning I arrived 15 minutes prior to my appt.time and was promptly taken back into the treatment room. Dr Redmon quickly and painlessly inserted the needle to deliver the sedative and within 10 seconds I was completely out. Next thing I knew he was patting me on my shoulder and telling me I was done. Total,time start to finish about 30 minutes. Even though my husband was there Dr Redmon and a assistant walked me out to the car. My mouth was packed with gauze of course but the bleeding stopped quickly and I only needed to,replace the gauze once. Dr. Redmon gave me a prescription for a pain medication but I never needed more than a Motrin that afternoon. It has been 4 days now and except for a bit of soreness in the gum on one side of my jaw I am totally recovered. I give Dr. Redmon and his staff 5 stars and would absolutely recommend him.

View More..Since I discovered that I could leave a comment about my experiences while in Dr. Redmon's care, I have been trying to think of something to say that has not already been said—something that will add new information for others to use. After all, what more can one learn from repeated accolades about his compassion, his skill, or his kind and confident treatment? Read any of the other reviews on this site (or any other site!) and find further evidence of his admirable qualities. The consensus is unanimous. Dr. Redmon, his staff, and his practice are, quite simply, wonderful. Dale Carnegie said that a person's name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language. This fact is undeniable. We love it when someone remembers our name, especially when we don't expect them to. But, of course everyone knows our name when we go to a doctor's office. It is the first bit of information the receptionist asks for. However, I think that Mr. Carnegie's famous words meant so much more than just remember a name. I think that he was telling us to remember not just the name but the person. Surely, I'm pleased when that stranger knows my name but what really impresses me is if that someone also remembers something about me. And that person is Eric Redmon. He remembers! He remembered me and things that we'd talked about when last I visited him. I knew that in his eyes I was first and foremost a person. I was someone who went to him with a problem and he seemed truly delighted that he could help fix that problem. That's what you get when you are in Dr. Redmon's care. You get someone who sees not just some object that needs fixing but another human being who needs care! In my own case he somehow managed to make what had to be as unpleasant a procedure for him as it was for me tolerable and painless. Even post-surgical pain was minimal and easily controlled. I was well instructed before I left his office. I knew what to expect and what to do if and when it happened. Thank you, Dr. Redmon, for your great skill and for your compassionate care. Thank you for seeing to my comfort and for your confident ministrations. Thank you for all the same things mentioned by all the other good people who've left reviews here and elsewhere on the Net. But mostly thank you for seeing me as a fellow human being with my own set of interests and concerns. Thanks for remembering that I like to ride my bike and that I am still recovering. That's what I call true human interaction and there is far too little of it in today's crazy, rush about world.

I have been needing my wisdom tooth extracted for over a year now and kept putting it off till I couldn't take the discomfort any longer. Dr. Redmon treated my son a few years ago and my son really liked how his office took such good care of him. Dr. Redmon explains everything to you every step of the way and even asks if you have any questions or concerns. His staff makes you feel extremely comfortable like you are with your friends. If I was to ever have another tooth pulled I would go to Dr. Redmon's office and I would refer others to him. He even followed up later that evening with a phone call after hours to make sure all was well which I have never had any other Dr do this. If you have any nervousness or doubt Dr. Redmon is your man.!!!

It was so genuine, not because he was trying to be nice just to keep a customer. His staff is great too and I really like how they individualize your time with them. The other amazing thing he did was call me later that night to ask how I was doing. It really was so sweet of him to take time out of his evening to check on me! Nobody likes to lose a tooth, but at least the experience at his office surrounding the situation is as pleasant as possible! I would highly recommend Dr. Redmon to anyone. Tina Bryant

View More..I am one of those people who are absolutely terrified of dentists so calling Dr. Redmon was a real challenge for me. I did my research on him and called to make an appointment to have 2 teeth extracted. I have never felt so comfortable or had a dentist's office treat me with such care. They made me completely relaxed and the thing that impressed me most of all was after the surgery, both Dr. Redmon and his nurse walked me to my vehicle, even though my husband was there. Dr. Redmon and his staff are the most wonderful group of people I have ever encountered and I would recommend them to anyone, especially those who are apprehensive about dentists. I give Dr. Redmon and his staff 10 stars and would not hesitate to call them again. Thank you for being such a caring group of peopl

View More..Not having to need any teeth pulled in over 50 years, all I knew was I didn't want to hear, feel or remember anything of the procedure. After looking and a friends suggestion, I made an appointment with Dr. Redmon. With my request he suggested IV sedation! All I can say is, that worked and is the only way to go! When I woke up, the two teeth were gone! Dr. Redmon and his staff are very professional as well as pleasant and friendly. Should the need arise again, rest assure I will be returning to see Dr. Redmon and staff!

View More..I am a transplant from NJ...moved here a year ago and soon after my move a back molar(old root canal) began to crack and cause me some pain on occasion. I was so busy seeking work and other things I didn't go to the dentist right away. I waited almost a year. Being a RN, I knew this wasn't a good thing to do.... I had sought out a oral surgeon in the area and was highly impressed with Dr. Redmons creditials and patient satifsfaction. So I decided to give him a try......I was super impressed, the office staff is wonderful, professional, pleasant and very helpful .. (I haven't had dental insurance in quite some time but they filled me in) the office is well kept and nice and easily accessible from where I live in Winchester. . And Dr. Redmon was particularly fantastic....I was slightly anxious( as most people are) and losing another tooth again was somewhat depressing but I had to get it pulled. I DIDNT FEEL A THING!!!!...not even the first Pinch of the needle. He was spectacular....I was ready for them to just jab me and I Would FEEL IT...but absolutely NOT, my tooth was just barely visilble, mostly inside my gum and the injections he gave were minimal. My mouth did not feel like I was numb from my scalp to my neckline like some dentists do. .......through my whole experience the doctor would go through what he was doing step by step as he worked on my tooth.....I asked him not to, but he remained professional and very courteous..... ..I preferred. him to just work, But I surely appreciated it....in fact it provided me with some knowledge about the procedure. . But he and the staff were very sweet and considerate. I am home now for a couple of hours and I am experiencing hardly any discomfort at all... and the dental assistant provided with post procedure instructions and the doc will call me later.and followup. I had even called to ask if they would be my regular dentist!!!...but unfortunately they don't do that. I highly recommend Dr.Redmon . I give him 5 stars. • • •

I had a tooth pulled and an implant put in its' place. The only pain I ever felt were the novacaine shots. Dr. Redmon is calm, cool, and friendly. He always explains what he is about to do, how it might feel, and to let him know if you are experiencing any pain. Going to his office was like going to see friends of mine. Everyone is so nice. It was sad to leave. This may seem strange but I actually hope I have the need of an oral surgeon again someday so that I can go back to him !!

When I went in to get all four wisdom teeth removed, I did not feel myself falling asleep and woke up to find it was already done.

Dr. Redmon even called on the night of the surgery to check on me! Not many dentists/surgeons would go that extra mile. Excellent patient care, and would highly recommend.

Post-op was event free and even so Dr. Redmon personally called my house to check up on me, and his office gave me his HOME NUMBER and directed me to call him if there were any problems. I would go back in a minute if I ever needed any oral surgery again.

I had two wisdom teeth removed with little to no pain at all, I did ended up getting dry socket ( just my luck) but Dr. Redmon was extremely agressive in treating the dry socket even coming in on a Sunday. I thank God for Dr. Redmon and his staff. Taylor was especially helpful sharing her experience having had dry socket before and she made me feel like everything was going to be okay. They all took the time and effort to always make me feel like I was their only patient. I don't want to leave out the rest of the staff because they were just as awesome. If you need to have oral sugery then Dr. Redmon should be the first and only choice you make.

Dr. Redmon went out of his way to be accommodating to my schedule, my budget and my fear of extractions!! I was very impressed by his knowledgeable staff and the genuine care and concern that they all seemed to have for me and my recovery. Before the anesthetic had fully worn off, Dr. Redmon was already giving me a call to check and make sure I was pain free and that if I had any issues that I should give him a call. Dr. Redmon is an amazing oral surgeon and just a really wonderful man on top of it all. If you have to have oral surgery in Winchester for ANY reason, there is nowhere else in this area I would go. I will recommend him to any one who needs similar service and I can't say that about any other dental experience I have had. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Redmon!!!

Quickfire not blooming
I planted 10 Quickfires around my yard last year and this spring. Some I cut back and some I did not. All of them are blooming beautifully except 1. One only has 2 blooms on a good size shrub. It's in a decent amount of light (more so than some others that are blooming well). I am pretty sure I cut this one down but that shouldnt matter bc the other plants cut way back are doing great. I haven't given it any fertilizer besides compost. I was thinking it might be a mislabeled plant (like Pinky Winky) but the 2 blooms are exactly like QFers blooms. It was planted in Aug last year and I can't remember if it had blooms then.
Has anyone else had problems getting blooms. Could it just be a dud?
Hey, welcome to my (Quick Fire) world. :-) I've had the same experience as you with my six. I swear that if you prune them in the current year, they don't bloom, and/or don't bloom as much.
None of mine is in full sun, but like with your experience, the flower pattern doesn't seem to be sun related. I didn't prune any of them this year, and even the ones in a lot of sun have strange bloom patterns, as in half the shrub will have blooms on most branches, and half the shrub has only sporadic blooms. Blooms do seem to be on older growth though...so even where it was pruned LAST spring, it seems to have far fewer blooms.
I'd personally only put this shrub in full sun and where it could go unpruned. But I know some people rave about this hydrangea and it does well for them.
Thanks for the reply :)
I just walked around the yard and really looked to see which I had cut and which I didn't. Turns out I cut back 2 of the 10. One is a Quickfire tree form in 100% full sun but it is COVERED w/blooms. The only other QF I cut back was this one that isn't blooming. The 2 blooms that are there are on stems that weren't cut. I'm thinking that this might be the reason although I can't figure out why the tree form has blooms bc I cut that one back severe also.
As far as sun goes, my yard is mostly shade. I panted most of these Quickfires in dappled shade with maybe a couple hours of direct sun at best. I had read that it was a bad idea but to be honest they are all blooming very well. The only plant not blooming is in one of my sunniest spots.
I'm thinking that its the cutting back. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. Next year I'm going to experiment a little bit and cut back one of the good bloomers from this year. Over all it's a great shrub. I think it might be luck of the draw with getting a dud or not. I bought them from several different nurseries. Maybe some growers have better stock than others?
By the way? Do you have deer? Maybe the shrubs with blooms on one side had been pruned by deer? It would explain the lopsided blooms.
I have deer, but I spray regularly, and these haven't been deer-pruned...I can tell by the growth.
I've also wondered about the stock.
I have three "out back" where I can leave them, so I've done no pruning this year and will do none next and see what happens.
For part shade, I haven't found a paniculata that beats Limelight. I tried Quick Fire because I wanted something earlier.
Quickfire hydrangea like all paniculatas bloom on the current years growth.....you can cut them back (early spring) or not cut them back and they all will produce blooms on this year's growth......but with that said, nature is not exact science, nor will each shrub perform at 100%...a number of factors can include soil conditions site location (Sunlight) and the vigorousness of individual plants......some may take a season or two before they become established enough to perform at their optimum.
It is hard trying to tell when it is safe to prune with these guys because the flower buds are initially invisible. I prefer to prune way early, as in way before they leaf out. Which is February here in the South.
Did you prune the QFs before they leafed out or after they leafed out? Just wondering...
I pruned it before it leafed out. I'm thinking maybe this plant is really a bombshell (which is notorious for not blooming). I wonder how similar the flowers are betweem QF and BS. The 2 flowers that are there look like a Quickfire but sometimes others look similar.
Most folks have thus far recommended pruning QF in late Fall after the leaves have fallen... Otherwise, just cut the spent blooms off and prune no further. Doing that this past season has resulted in at least 100 flowers on a 5x4' shrub this time around!
This said, QF so far has been the best in my yard at "building it's own structure" without much general pruning. Much like a healthy rose bush, it has sent large new branches out to fill in "voids" in the middle that weren't yet occupied. Ironically the "carpet" rose next door has been encroaching on the QF, and I thought it was going to be the other way 'round...

How long does it take to paint a room?
I'm a novice painter and I'm wondering if I can paint a smallish room in a 2-3 day weekend. Reading all the advice, it seems as if there is a lot of waiting time for drying between coats.
Here is what I'm thinking the steps are:
Prep room (move furniture, sand trim, dust walls, repair small holes)
Cut in on ceiling. Let dry (for an hour? 2-3 hours?). Cut in again. Let dry. Roll ceiling. Let dry. Roll ceiling again.
Paint trim. Let dry. Paint trim again. Wait overnight.
Tape trim and tape ceiling (because walls will be a different color). Will the ceiling be dry enough to tape?
Cut in walls. Let dry. Cut in walls again. Let dry. Roll walls. Let dry. Roll walls again.
Does that sound right? Is there a lot of waiting time? Should I try to paint two rooms at once?
Newer paints dry a lot quicker than the older ones did. Also the tape is better than it used to be-doesn't pull paint off surfaces as much as it used to do.
Your procedure sounds good, but while you are waiting for areas to dry, you can be painting other areas. E.G., while ceiling is drying, work on the trim. By the time you finish the trim, you'll be ready to go back to the ceiling.
I don't usually tape the ceiling unless I'm using a pretty dark color. I usually do it freehand so I don't worry about waiting for the ceiling to dry to tape it. But I think you'd want to wait at least a day to tape it.
If you can get the ceiling and trim done the first day, you should be able to do the rest the following day. You would have waiting time the second day between the two cut in wall coats and the two rolled wall coats. During that time, you could start in on another room-wall prep, ceiling/trim, I'd think.
I'm not a pro and no spring chicken, but I'm chief painter and bottle washer in this household and uninterrupted, I can finish a decent sized room easily in 2-3 days.
My 2 girlfriends and I just did some painting. Here's the breakdown.
3 girls can do 14 walls incl. patch cracks/ holes, remove outlet covers etc in a total of 60 man hours.
That's 4 hours per wall and each wall took 3 coats.
That does not include wall paper removal.
It does include chasing our kids around and making them lunch!
Prep room (move furniture, sand trim, dust walls, repair small holes) Good
Have more than one roller pan and set of brushes - buy them from yard sales.
Cut in on ceiling. Let dry (for an hour? 2-3 hours?). Cut in again. Let dry. Roll ceiling. Let dry. Roll ceiling again. Prime the patched spots on the walls now too.
When you cut in on the ceiling, slop over onto the walls an inch or so.
Paint no more than a 2x3 foot section with a full roller load - the problem most people have is that they try to spread the paint to thin and need that second coat to fill in the thin spots.
Paint trim. Let dry. Paint trim again. Wait overnight.NOPE: Stop after the first coat and evaluate the looks. It might not need 2 coats.
By the time you are done with one round of trim in a 10x10 room, the first stuff you painted should be ready for the second coat.
Tape trim and tape ceiling (because walls will be a different color). Will the ceiling be dry enough to tape? No need to tape if you practice a bit. If you get a bit of paint on the trim. wipe it off immediately with a damp rag. I use a plastic paint shield in one hand and the brush in the other for cutting in ... it's faster than tape.
Cut in walls. Let dry. Cut in walls again. Let dry. Roll walls. Let dry. Roll walls again. NOPE: Cut in walls, making sure to feather out 4-6 inches from the edges, immediately start rolling on the first wall, because the paint will be dry already. Again, a 2x3 foot section and then reload the roller.
STOP HERE, let it dry until the walls are no longer cool to your touch (means water is still evaporating
) ... evaluate the looks.
NOTE: Half-dried paint goes through a brief semi-transparent phase where your freshly painted wall is blotchy and looks like crap. Don't panic and start overpainting the areas. Just keep going and let it dry a couple of hours.
Unless you are making an extreme color change, modern paints can be done in one coat.
With all due respect to lazygardens, I would research the one coat vs. two coats question.
I have learned a lot from the pro painters in this forum and as a rule they recommend primer + two coats (if it has been 10 or more years since the last painting) or at the least two coats.
Search "two coats" or something similar to read postings about this issue.
Lazygardens, it's not only about coverage. It's about evenness of color, saturation of color, and durability.
See Why Two Coats of Paint Are Better Than One for one person's opinion.
I can't say that I follow that rule 100%. I've settled for one coat if durability wasn't important or if I'm painting a wall with a very similar color to the fresh paint.
But with allergies in the family, I tend to wash my walls more often than some, so durability is important to me in our heavily used rooms.

Parker Hannifin is a world wide company but unless you are salary, a person may not transfer between locations. For example, there was a location that was 7 miles away from my location but because we were not in the same division I was not able to transfer when they decided to close my location, even though I had 20+ years of experience.No opinion of CEO

For personal safety, the mind is what matters
WILLISTON -- When friends and acquaintances heard I was moving from Fargo to Williston, many suggested I get a gun.
Others said I shouldn't leave the house without pepper spray and a Taser.
One friend bluntly told me "Don't get raped."
While I appreciate the concern so many showed me, this is the advice I probably needed to hear:

A set length of time for a break might be useful in the beginning, when you're learning how iodine affects you. But even better is to check in with yourself and discover what you need on an ongoing basis. Sometimes you don't need a break, you can plunge ahead. Sometimes you need a break, but 48 hours isn't enough, because before when you plunged on ahead you went too far and now you need a week off :) LOL There are so many variables. Listen to your body, and it will trust you to act on what it tells you. Then the information will keep flowing. Best wishes!

Any remedies for reducing my cat's hairballs?
I have a long hair tabby which produces weekly, sometimes twice weekly hairballs. Yes, I do groom/brush her and feed her dry IAMS hairball control dry food with her wet food. Also have tried that HB control paste from the pet store but she hates that. I have new carpet coming next week and while it is a dark brown color (specifically chosen to hide some of her sins) I would like it to be later than sooner before she "christens" it. Have any of you with DLH tabbies had any luck with other remedies I could try to cut down on the hairballs?
I would also like to know. I was going to buy treats for hair-ball prone cats -- but you have to give them ten a day and there aren't many in the package (not a good value).
Any home remedies?
Mine pukes at least once every two weeks and has stained the heck out of my carpet.
We buy a gelatin based product called Laxaire from the vet. Feliz loves it (it looks like it might taste of beef, but I'm not going to find out for myself) and it helps control hairballs. When she goes into her twice a year shedding spell, she still gets a hairball or two, but nothing as bad as it could be!

How bad is stauskas' injury? Looked pretty bad watching live - did it not seem like a technical on TV?
I did not make this headline up
How bad is stauskas' injury? Looked pretty bad watching live - did it not seem like a technical on TV?
Totally inadvertent elbow from Dawson trying to get a rebound, it didnt look pretty for Nik though.
Kills me when we get no points off of opportunities like that.
Yeah they can actually sohot threes
Is 3 point defense random, or are we just really bad at it?
Find the shooters in transition.
Our 3 point shooting has gone in the tank.
Strong 4 mins
And like magic we score off of the fastbreak!
This is the most physical I have seen Michigan play all year on D.
Yep. They need to continue with it for the next 29 minutes, too. Where it's been I'm not sure but when playing like this it makes them a different team (in a good way).
That can't happen
Guh. Really working ourselves out of having Mo.
What is Mitch doing??
I just asked myself the same question he has cost us 4 points alone
Shut Payne down.
gotta grab the damn ball mcgary!!
Does this team even practice boxing out? Also, quit trapping the ball screen!
hey nice thought
Agreed, doesn't really generate turnovers for us and leads to an open 3 for the opponent most times.
They're not really trapping the ball screen. McGary did a good job once and they just switched. He was able to push the guard out deep enough that they easily switched back.
Do we coach the box out? I'm serious because we are terrible at it.
Bill Raftery drunk and senile.
Dish by McGary to Payne for the jam
when we have 2 bigs in the game, I think we should start Mitch over Nik going forward.
bring nik off the bench for offense, he's just not doing much lately.
Ball keeps bouncing Sparty's way for easy buckets and Payne being a pain ain't helping.
Thus far on D in terms of intensity and playing good position. 5 open looks from 3 for Staee but other than, much better
We are a mediocre FT shooting team and it may cost us eventually.
50% free throw shooting not good enough for you!?
Do we ever make 2-2 free throws??
early surprising stat (that are also worrisome):
Losing Reb battle 5 - 11
Damnit, get off the court Izzo!
Better than that pls
Nobody in the lane ... NOBODY
but, c'mon, how about a little regression to the mean by our opponents on 3P FG%?
Together = 3 on 5 offense.
But we are much better on defense with them in the game
state relying on the 3? surprising offense thus far
Hour ford has no idea what he's doing
I hate that MSU's bigs can go over the back and push all over without getting fouls called.
Get Horford out of there. What was that??!!! Was he even looking to rebound???
That was an interesting approach to the box out by horford
Refs making their presence felt already
WHAT IS HE DOING THERE? Box out and watch the hoop a little
michigan cant seem to get a call
what else is new tho
Surprising for me is 16 points in paint for us to 2 not. If we maintain a semblance of an inside presence and our jumpshot kicks in, nice.
Pts in paint. Not from our posts

Remembering the Legend James Garner
Movie and TV legend James Garner passed away at age 86 on Saturday (July 19). Garner was one of certain breed of actors who broke into the business in the late 50s and early 60s that included peers like the late Steve McQueen, and Clint Eastwood -- regular guys, military veterans (Garner & Eastwood had both served in the Korean War) with street smarts and natural talent.

One Human Family
Listen with Your Heart
There is a lot of talk about oneness and unity today. So why is it so difficult for us to actually live in that place? Why is it so difficult to actually live with a deep understanding that everything we do, say, and think affects the Whole? You are not alone. In fact, your energy, your essence, and your way of being have an impact on everything around you. Think about entering a room and you instantly feel an energy that makes you uncomfortable. Where does that energy come from? How about when you meet someone for the first time and your instinct is to withdraw? Take this one step further. You are challenged with a colleague or a client. Whenever you see or are about to meet this person, your body becomes tense and constricted. You try to calm yourself, pray or even create affirmations—to no avail. You resolve to not let him or her bother you, but most of the time that tactic does not work. Here is the thing. Energy transmits. The real questions become: "What kind of person do you want to be?" "How do you want to affect your family, community, or work environment?" You can choose right this very minute. [Read more...]
Start Fresh
We all have an opportunity to begin this year with strong and clear focus. I am aware that every New Year people create resolutions. They are nice, but often, we are not totally committed and so the resolutions fall by the wayside within a very short period of time. Gym registrations soar in January and by March, people are starting to give themselves excuses not to keep going. People also look at weight issues during this time. Weight Watchers enrollment goes up and again, people stop honoring their commitments within weeks. [Read more...]
Peaceful End-of-Year Experience

Others are in places of great pain as they move through times of loss and grieving. It is easy to feel overwhelmed, but what if this year we decided to do it differently? What if we decided to set an intention for this month to actively experience everything through a "peaceful mind?" Just the thought of it allows me to breathe and move to center. [Read more...]

An Umbrella Revolution
While in Croatia, my husband and I stumbled upon a street where beautiful umbrellas were hanging above us. It was artistic and inviting. It took no time at all for several of us to take pictures jumping in the air as if trying to reach the umbrellas. It felt free and exciting to just leap.
Recently, students in China have been in the streets protesting for democracy. They have stood in the face of tear gas, threats and outrage by the government. When the tear gas started, they put up umbrellas to protect themselves. Thus, the name "Umbrella Revolution" came into being. They say that they are committed to non-violence so they encourage each other to stay at peace. People bring food to make sure that they are nurtured. They are fighting for a fair election in 2017. Why so far out? They want to bring an awareness of how the current system works. At the moment, the government is only allowing people to run that are vetted and loyal to the communist regime. These young people want candidates with different and expansive ideology to be able to run for office and bring democracy to the country. [Read more...]
Connect to the Heart
Based on the research of HeartMath, the heart has an independent logic and intelligence. It responds to the brain through the nervous system but does not obey it without reason. In fact, the heart actually analyses information and communicates to the brain and the brain obeys the messages and requests of the heart. When negative emotions appear the heart registers rhythms that are jagged, disordered and out of balance. [Read more...]
Live the Life of Your Dreams
We are never promised a life without "shift, challenge, or heartache". However, I believe that there is a universal promise that anything is possible. We live in an infinite universe filled with possibilities. That means that we are all capable of living successful, joyous and expansive lives. The question is; through what field of perception are you viewing your life? Are you viewing it from a glass half-full or half-empty? The point is that you get to choose. I am clear that things are happening now in your life. I am also clear that you get to dictate how you feel and how you choose to respond. Try using this process to manifest the life of your dreams: [Read more...]
Today, I take a moment to honor the amazing Robin Williams. His brilliance, wit, humor and creativity have inspired me for many years. I spent many hours in front of my television and in movie theatres being blessed by his talent. As I reflected on his challenge and ultimate death, it took into a place of deep contemplation.
I believe we can all learn from Robin. Depression is something most of us have faced at various times in our lives. Depression does not honor wealth, status, culture, religion or race. It shows up and can deflate us in a short period of time.
Depression is insidious. It comes like a thief in the night. The dictionary definition states that depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest; a serious medical condition in which a person feels very sad, hopeless, and unimportant and often is unable to live in a normal way. We try to cope with it using drugs, prayer, meditation, exercise, sex and overwork. Ultimately, depression wins because we are not skilled in getting to root cause. I believe that cause is rooted in fear and the absence of self-love. [Read more...]

Utah Construction Company to Pay Government to Settle Alleged False Claims in Connection with Program for Small and Disadvantaged Businesses
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Okland Construction Co. Inc. has agreed to pay the government $928,000 to resolve allegations that it made false statements and submitted false claims under the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Section 8(a) Program for Small and Disadvantaged Businesses, the Justice Department announced today.
"The purpose of the 8(a) Program is to assist small and disadvantaged businesses to compete in the American economy," said Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department's Civil Division Stuart F. Delery.
"The Justice Department is committed to making sure that those who participate in 8(a) contracts do so honestly and fairly."
Okland Construction, a large construction company, entered into a mentor-protégé agreement with Saiz Construction Co., a participant in the 8(a) Program.
The mentor-protégé program allows a large business mentor to form an SBA-approved joint venture with a small business protégé to jointly bid on and perform 8(a) contracts, which are contracts awarded by federal agencies that are set aside solely for small businesses.
Without a qualifying joint venture, the mentor and protégé cannot jointly bid on 8(a) contracts, and the mentor cannot perform the primary functions of the contract.
The government alleged that Okland Construction did not form a qualifying joint venture with Saiz Construction and thus was not eligible to jointly bid on or perform the primary functions of eight 8(a) contracts with Saiz Construction.
Nevertheless, Okland Construction allegedly prepared the bids for the 8(a) contracts and its employees served as project managers, submitted invoices and performed payroll and other accounting functions.
Furthermore, Okland Construction allegedly concealed its extensive involvement in performing the 8(a) contracts by misrepresenting to the government that its employees were employees of Saiz Construction.
The government also alleged that Okland Construction's relationship with Saiz Construction violated the terms of an SBA set-aside contract awarded to Saiz Construction that required Saiz Construction to perform at least 15 percent of the labor on the contract minus the cost of materials.
"Large businesses must not be allowed to fraudulently obtain access to contracts set aside for small businesses," said SBA Inspector General Peggy E. Gustafson.
"The SBA mentor-protégé program enhances the capability of 8(a) participants to compete more successfully for federal contracts through a relationship with another successful business; however, this program must not be used as a vehicle to improperly benefit large, non-disadvantaged companies."
"SBA's contracting programs, including the 8(a) Business Development Program, provide small businesses with the opportunity to grow and create jobs," said SBA General Counsel Sara D. Lipscomb.
"But SBA has no tolerance for waste, fraud or abuse in any government contracting program and is committed to working with our federal partners to ensure the benefits of these programs flow to the intended recipients."
The civil settlement resolves a lawsuit filed by Saiz Construction and its owner Abel Saiz under the whistleblower provision of the False Claims Act, which permits private parties, known as relators, to file suit on behalf of the government for false claims and to share in any recovery.
The relators filed the lawsuit after Saiz Construction terminated its mentor-protégé agreement with Okland Construction.
Saiz Construction and Saiz will receive a total of $148,480.
This settlement with Okland Construction was the result of a coordinated effort among the Department of Justice's Civil Division, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah, the SBA Office of Inspector General, the SBA Office of General Counsel, the Department of the Air Force and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The civil lawsuit was filed in the District of Utah and is captioned United States ex rel. Saiz Construction Co. Inc. and Abel Saiz v. Okland Construction Co. Inc., No. 2:11-cv-00362 (D. Utah).
The claims resolved by this settlement are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.

We have passed by this restaurant several times on our previous visits to Canne, but this time we decided to give it a try. Most tables are in a small courtyard but we chose to sit inside as when we arrived the road was a bit noisy and we wanted to talk. Having said that the traffic noise had died down fairly soon so it would not have been a problem. The waiting staff were friendly and welcoming. At about 29 Euro for the basic three course menu, and 39 Euro for the three course a la carte this was very good value in my opinion given the quality of the food . The food was excellent, I had a salad to start followed by fillet of beef and a apple and caramel desert. All four of us really enjoyed the food. This certainly one of my favorite Cannes restaurants

My ornaments
I have another party this weekend where we have to bring five ornaments for the exchange. These are my five. Each one alike but a bit different.
Hi Oddie,
They are all painted on wood. The two oval are on a wood disc about 3x5". I used champagne gold to paint the edges. And the two Santas are painted on wood that I picked up at Hobby Lobby for about fifty cents. It had a pattern already stamped on it but I did my own thing. The little blue snowman is painted on a snowflake ornament. I used a gold Krylon pen to paint the edges. Anytime you are painting on a thin piece of wood, that gold pen works wonders because you can go all the way around the wood piece for a finished look. I paint the sides and backs of everything - I hate to receive something that the person did not take the time to finish. Glad you liked them and thanks for the comments.


text: This restaurant is a soup, salad, and sandwich type of place. Order at the counter and your food is brought to you. Generally the food is good.

"Maleficent": The OriginalSubmitted by Fun at Foster on June 6, 2014 - 10:34am
With the live-action/3D Maleficent a success at the box-office (at least this week), I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the origin of the title character.
Most people probably know that the arch-villainess first appeared in Disney's Sleeping Beauty. The 1959 film was in production for most of the decade and ended up costing six million dollars, making it the most expensive animated feature up to that time.
|Original 1959 Whitman "Story Hour" Sleeping Beauty
Disney had wanted this film to be his masterpiece, and to a certain degree, mostly visually, it is. In keeping with the epic trends of the '50s (Ben-Hur, et al.), Sleeping Beauty was shot in Technirama, one of the largest widescreen processes of the era, and with multi-track stereophonic sound.
Another innovation was having one artist oversee the entire look of the film. Eyvind Earle, an artist noted for his stylized renderings of California landscapes, was given free rein to style the film's total look. But while the film looks fabulous, Disney was also involved with the development and opening of Disneyland (in 1955) and so had less time to contribute his usually-astute editing skills to the film's story and characters.
However, one aspect of the film that was a unique success is the character of Maleficent, the wicked fairy whose curse motivates the entire story. Her character was visualized as a statuesque, even glamorous, blue-complected creation with a throaty voice and a rather sophisticated sense of irony. Her subtle evil is enhanced by a flowing black robe with touches of purple topped off with a formidable headdress of two prominent black horns (the latter a kind of premonition of her awesome transformation into a dragon at the film's spectacular climax).
And as if more was needed, viewers of the period really knew they were getting a new kind of Disney villain when, during the dragon scene, she declaims "Now shall you deal with me, oh prince, and all the powers of HELL!"
However, some of the 1959 film's character motivations remained a bit vague, so if you're still wondering why, aside from being snubbed at the christening, such a dominating sorceress was ticked off enough to put a death curse on a newborn princess, I hear you can find out in detail in the new Maleficent (2014).
In the Ventura County Library collection the original animated Sleeping Beauty is available in a two-disc Platinum DVD set with lots of extra features. Eyvind Earle's autobiography, Horizon Bound on a Bicycle (1990) is also available. Several editions of Christopher Finch's The Art of Walt Disney: From Mickey Mouse to the Magic Kingdom (Abrams, 1973) provide a comprehensive overview of the Disney oeuvre. The well-known author/illustrator Bill Peet also worked on Sleeping Beauty's story adaptation.

David's Dish: Polentina alla ToscanaSubmitted by Fun at Foster on June 5, 2014 - 9:43am
First off, I really connected with the title of this cookbook: One Good Dish, by David Tanis. It's flattering for the author to dedicate a book to me! Getting serious now, One Good Dish is a heck of a cookbook, lots of tasty recipes and beautiful pictures.
Deciding on which dish to prepare was easy; the minute I saw the phrase "very traditional Tuscan soup," I knew what I would prepare this late spring evening: polentina alla toscana. I love how that sounds! Kale is a key ingredient in this soup, and as I recall one of our extremely informative and entertaining Book Appétit events did go into some depth on the virtues of kale. Another interesting ingredient is the gorgeous and aromatic fennel bulb. I have never prepared a dish with one before, but that will change. In addition to all of that I had just received a new soup pot; will the excitement ever end? The recipe called for half a pound of kale. I skimped a bit, knowing that kale will be shocking and new to a number of people in my household that will be consuming the soup. However, I didn't skimp on the garlic; most of my passionate readers know where I stand on garlic, especially homegrown.
|After I chopped, peeled, salted, and peppered I tossed everything into my new soup pot and let it boil and simmer. During the period of time in which the soup was simmering I made a rash decision to listen to an opera CD, checked out from the library of course. In all honesty I wasn't wild about the opera; I guess it's an acquired taste. I wholeheartedly hope that mentioning my underwhelming opera-listening experience doesn't downgrade my perceived level of sophistication in my reader's eyes. Anyway, confession over; I served the soup and it was magnificent!

Check out One Good Dish at Foster Library, or put it on hold—we will send it to you. If there are any cookbooks in Foster Library's collection that you would like me to try out, please leave the title on our Facebook page and I'll get cooking!

Bodie, CaliforniaSubmitted by Fun at Foster on May 30, 2014 - 9:45am
Your Resident Photographer occasionally travels out of Ventura County to take photos in other parts of California. Recently, my sojourn led me to discover the old mining town of Bodie, a place that was once so lawless that the Reverend F.M. Warrington described it as "…a sea of sin, lashed by the tempests of lust and passion." There is little evidence of that lifestyle today, but the relatively-intact community is in a state of "arrested decay." Some of the homes look as though the residents just stepped away for a while. The yards are overgrown, there are rusting carcasses of vehicles left in place, and, in some cases, curtains are still hanging in the windows, albeit a little worse for wear. There are certainly enough artistically collapsed buildings to delight any photographer.
At one point, Bodie was in danger of becoming just another casualty of time and vandalism. However, Bodie is now part of the California State Park system and is officially designated as a State Historic Park. Park rangers live on the premises and make repairs, as necessary, using materials as close to the originals as possible. The road to Bodie is not for the faint-hearted as the last three miles of the road are unpaved, making for a very slow, very bumpy ride. Should you decide to brave the perils of the unpaved road, be prepared to bring your own food and water since there are no amenities in this ghost town.
If you would like to travel to Bodie, the Sierras, or explore California in general, Foster library can help you plan your expedition.

Novelties: "The Invention of Wings," by Sue Monk KiddSubmitted by Fun at Foster on May 26, 2014 - 10:42am
Historical fiction is a genre which must strive to find a balance between the parts of a story that are real and those that are added by the author to provide insight into our shared past. When writing about difficult or painful historical topics, authors can risk trivializing important events if they are not given the proper weight or placed in the right context. Slavery is one such topic, and this month's featured works explore the ways in which various women in 19th century America were affected by the institution of slavery and by systematic oppression based on both race and gender in Southern society.
|Inspired by real life historical figure Sarah Grimké, Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention of Wings (2014) mixes fiction with fact to create a story that touches on themes of friendship, personhood, and freedom. The novel explores the relationship between Sarah, a daughter of a wealthy Southern plantation owner, and Hetty, a slave gifted to Sarah on her eleventh birthday. The reader sees Sarah struggle with the concept of owning another human being, becoming friends with Hetty (nicknamed "Handful") but learning the harsh realities of all that slavery entails (Sarah is severely punished, for instance, for teaching Hetty to read). For her part, Hetty has to endure the full horror of human bondage, becoming separated from her family and tangled up in conspiracy and rebellion as she searches desperately for a path to freedom. By following the lives of Sarah and Hetty over the course of three decades, The Invention of Wings highlights the injustices surrounding slavery and the treatment of women in a way that diminishes neither and offers insight into what it means to value freedom.
|Tracy Chevalier throws her own hat into the historical fiction ring with The Last Runaway (2013). Honor Bright is a young woman who leaves England in 1850 looking for a fresh start with her sister, Grace, and her future in-laws. Sadly, Grace dies en route to America, and Honor is left to build her new life as an outsider among strangers in a community that is both familiar and strikingly different. Living among the Quakers in Ohio, Honor is struck by the apparent hypocrisies and moral paradoxes that abound in a society that is built on moral fortitude but nonetheless recognizes the legitimacy of slavery as the law of the land. The novel is full of detail—including rich descriptions of everything from the period and setting to the practice of quilting—and deals with love and loss as Honor creates a place for herself and ultimately finds herself tested in her relationships with people on both sides of the slave trade. Her convictions lead her to get involved in helping fugitive slaves escape through the Underground Railroad, and to realize just how much strength it takes to flaunt the law when the law is itself unjust.
|Shifting gears significantly, we have Valerie Martin's Property (2003), which like The Invention of Wings deals with a relationship between two women, one free and one a slave, but which takes that relationship in an entirely different direction. Manon Gaudet lives with her husband, a man for whom she holds little respect and less love, on his sugar plantation. She is herself childless while he has two illegitimate children whom he has fathered with Sarah, a slave who was a wedding gift to Manon. Manon despises Sarah, in part because of the attentions she receives from Manon's husband but much more so because Manon's hatred of her husband and resentment for her own station in life leave her bitter and self-absorbed beyond the point of seeing Sarah as a fellow human being. Looking closely at the ways in which slavery warped the humanity of slave owners as well as the hopelessness it visited upon those like Sarah, Property refuses to sugarcoat the evils of the period and gives the reader a glimpse of how complicated the dynamics of oppression truly are.
The Invention of Wings and The Last Runaway are available to borrow at E.P. Foster Library, and Property can be requested from one of our other Ventura County Library branches. In addition, The Invention of Wings can be borrowed in eBook format through OverDrive. If you want to find more read-alikes, you can access NoveList Plus from our eLibrary's Reading Suggestions section. If the book you are interested in is not currently on the shelf at your branch, you can always request that a copy be sent to the branch of your choice in person, over the phone, or online through our catalog.

Good/bad book adaptations
Which books should never have made it to silver screen? Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
It's one of those classic conversation starters – great books which have been tarnished by awful movies. Anyone who's ever read a novel or two can normally reel off a lengthy list of much-loved literature that has inspired deeply despised film adaptations. But do movie remakes ever get it right? Can a movie ever really outdo its source material?
Minor novels have certainly made more substantial movies. Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather trilogy did far more for film than Mario Puzo's trashy pulp fiction thriller ever did for literature. Likewise short stories can be lent extra depth on screen; the 1952 adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro offered welcome extra autobiography.
A straight book-to-film adaptation is doomed before it begins. The very best an adaptation can hope for is to hold onto as much of the plot, mood and brilliance of its source material while translating it for the screen. True cinematic triumph can only come when the book is merely a jumping off point for a new work with something fresh to say. It would be pointless to compare the artistic merit of Joseph Conrad's The Heart of Darkness with Coppola's Apocalypse Now, as the movie is inspired by, rather than adapted from, the novel. This concept was explored to its root in the wittily-named Adaptation, a film from the pen of supremo Charlie Kaufman about a man (himself) trying to adapt a (real) book about flowers, The Orchid Thief, into a movie script.
This week an adaptation of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close opens in UAE cinemas, a complicated and experimental novel about a small boy searching New York for clues about the father he lost in 9/11. Directed by Stephen Daldry, who adapted Billy Elliot, The Reader and The Hours so well, it has been met with a surprisingly lukewarm reception. Stars Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock have been criticised for ramping up the emotive Hollywood clichés, while translating onto the screen the jumble of voices, images and typographical games that made Jonathan Safron Foer's second novel such a triumph was a bit of poisoned chalice. The author should be getting used to it; his first book, a semi-autobiographical hunt for his ancestors entitled Everything is Illuminated, was the victim of an underwhelming indie-lite flick. So while we waited for the movie to open, cinephiles on the Time Out Dubai team shared their all-time best, and worst, book adaptations to help inspire your next DVD purchase.
Hfu Reisenhofer Guides editor
Success: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey.
Who can forget Jack Nicholson's brilliant performance as the troublemaker Randle?
Fail: All the Harry Potter flicks by JK Rowling.
Bar the adaptation of the final book, which was at least cut into two movies, all the films attempted to cram far too much into a bite-sized films.
Jamie Goodwin, assistant online editor
Success: Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris.
Silence of the Lambs is a great, dark book that became one of the best films of its generation.
Fail: Hannibal by Thomas Harris.
This was the other way round: a brilliant, creepy book (maybe even better than Silence..., other than the ending) which transfered to an average film. And Hannibal Lecter seemed to be a good guy!
Jessica Davey-Quantick, Time Out Doha editor
Success: Children of Men by PD James.
The book was an arduous slog, full of interesting details sure, but overall getting to the end was like pulling my fingernails out with each page. The movie however, was fast paced, poignant, and gorgeously shot (that steadycam pan at the end gives still me chills).
Fail: Captain Corelli's Mandolin by John Madden.
A wonderful, layered, gorgeously heartbreaking book… turned into a movie with Nicholas Cage. Whole characters that made it interesting, and helped to explain crucial plot developments, were deleted in favour of shots of no interest of Penélope Cruz. And they changed the ending so it was happy. Fail!
Rebecca Milford, chief sub-editor
Success: Empire of the Sun by JG Ballard.
A 13-year-old Christian Bale stole critics' hearts in Steven Spielberg's visually stunning movie, which follows the young protagonist as he comes of age in Shanghai during the Second World War.
Fail: The Beach by Alex Garland.
The book was the ultimate backpacker novel and a fantastic slice of escapism; the film was a flimsy excuse for Leo DiCaprio to get his kit off in Thailand.
Rob Garratt, film editor
Success: Dr No by Ian Fleming.
Starting out on this feature, I quickly learned how many more decent movie adaptations have been made than I ever realised. But for capturing the gritty mood of the source material while injecting an extra cinematic flair, and for the whole legacy of cinema it went on to inspire, the first Bond film gets my vote.
Fail: The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera.
I find myself watching Philip Kaufman's adaptation of Kundera's masterpiece far too often, yet with every viewing I'm left frustrated. Such great efforts are made to make the movie episodically sound that much of the philosophical flair becomes laughable – and Daniel Day Lewis's 'Czech' accent is the punchline.
