In concert with our theme, this month, I wanted to share an article I recently read in "Mother Earth News". The author had quite a few tips on how to manage the symptoms of seasonal allergies, some of which I was familiar with (and use frequently), others that were new but definitely worth a try!
- Build Your Defenses With Bacteria – based on research at the Osaka University School of Medicine, some probiotics are effective at treating nasal and sinus symptoms linked to allergies.
- Drink Green Tea – Green tea is packed with powerful antioxidants that block histamine and immunoglobulin E (IgE). Both of these naturally produced chemicals are linked with uncomfortable allergy symptoms. For best results, drink two to three cups per day.
- Take Quercetin to Quell Allergy Symptoms – Quercetin is an antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antihistamine phytonutrient. It has the ability to reduce allergy symptoms and improve lung function. Good sources are apples, onions, berries, cabbage AND tea!
- Flush Your Nasal Passages – Using a Neti Pot, flush your sinuses with a salt-water solution. Start with 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to 1 cup of water. This is an excellent way to cleanse and eliminate mucous and microbes.
- Eliminate Sugar – Sugar is highly acid- and mucus forming – helping to aggravate allergies. Try a 30-day low sugar diet and you might be surprised at the results. (this is probably the toughest for me!!!)

There is no distinction systematically between hermatypic (reef-building)
and ahermatypic species, but the former invariably contain, in the endoderm, immense populations of endozoic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae). In comparison with conditions in the ahermatypes, these enhance metabolic efficiency by acting as automatic agents of excretion and by increasing the
rate of skeleton formation. They may also assist, qualitatively if not quantitatively, in nutrition, although all Scleractinia (hermatypes equally with ahermatypes) possess highly efficient organs of feeding (nematocysts with tentacles and/or cilia) and of digestion (mesenterial filaments).
In the hermatypes there is a remarkable range in both size and form of the polyps and of the calyces into which they are withdrawn as well as in skeletal form generally. This indicates great powers of adaptability because these have all been through the sieve of natural selection. The precise
significance of these adaptations, although presumably involving food collection, remains obscure in the majority of cases. The present concentration by workers on studies of overall productivity of coral reefs would have greater significance if accompanied by detailed studies of individual
species of a range of hermatypic corals.",

Influence of HIV infection on the clinical presentation and outcome of adults with acute community-acquired pneumonia in Yaounde, Cameroon: a retrospective hospital-based study

The impact of HIV infection on the evolution of acute community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate possible differences in the clinical presentation and in-hospital outcomes of patients with CAP with and without HIV infection in a specialised service in Yaounde.
Medical files of 106 patients (51 men) aged 15 years and above, admitted to the Pneumology service of the Yaounde Jamot Hospital between January 2008 and May 2012, were retrospectively studied.
Sixty-two (58.5%) patients were HIV infected. The median age of all patients was 40 years (interquartile range: 31.75-53) and there was no difference in the clinical and radiological profile of patients with and without HIV infection. The median leukocyte count (interquartile range) was 14,600/mm3 (10,900-20,600) and 10,450/mm3 (6,400-16,850) respectively in HIV negative and HIV positive patients (p = 0.002). Median haemoglobin level (interquartile range) was 10.8 g/dl (8.9-12) in HIV negative and 9.7 g/dl (8–11.6) in HIV positive patients (p = 0.025). In-hospital treatment failure on third day (39.5% vs. 25.5.1%, p = 0.137) and mortality rates (9% vs. 14.5%, p = 0.401) were similar between HIV negative and HIV positive patients.
Clinical and radiological features as well as response to treatment and in hospital fatal outcomes are similar in adult patients hospitalised with acute community-acquired pneumonia in Yaounde. In contrast, HIV infected patients tend to be more anaemic and have lower white cell counts than HIV negative patients. Larger prospective studies are needed to consolidate these findings.

Will Swedish Ivy Plant Kill Betta Fish?
I have a Swedish Ivy Plant growing in a 2liter water vase and want to put my beta in it. Will this plant harm him? Is it poisonous to betas or any fish? Please let me know. Thanks, Michelle
Not a good idea. A vase is not a good home for a fish. Bettas are tropical fish and should have water temps 74F-82F. An vase of water in PA in the winter time can easily get to 65F in a heated home. These fish are marketed this way with the logic that the fish comes from stagnant waters, rice paddies and slow moving rivers so they are more than happy in a cup of water. The truth is even though the waters are somewhat shallow and murky they are complete eco-systems. A vase of water with a terrestrial plant in it isn't a good home for your fish. The colder water alone will make him lathargic and suseptible to disease and parasites. I know these fish are presented this way so its a little confusing, but a more ideal set up for your betta is a minimal 3 gallon aquarium,for a live plant a java fern is pretty and seems to do good almost anywhere. The live plant will help keep the water less toxic because it utilizes ammonia that the fish excretes. Its best to keep true aquatic plants with fish. Good luck. Maybe do a yahoo search on bettas in vases to see what others think or click the link below.

The seeds would be where you looked for them - in the dead flower head. I can only surmise that maybe you looked too soon, before they were ripe, or your daisy didn't get pollinated for some reason. They are self fertile but maybe there were no pollinators around? Are you perhaps keeping this plant indoors?

While volunteers added to parks, someone took their supplies away
At the same time that groups of volunteers were sprucing up city parks in Alexandria last Wednesday, someone was up to no good.
Supplies and other items that were supposed to be used at Noonan Park were stolen.
The thieves made off with five gallons of stain, several brushes, buckets, scrapers, rags, and a step stool, according to Bill Thoennes, city park director. He estimated that the items were worth about $200.

F&I Tips
Light days should never be lazy days
10:10 am U.S. ET | April 1, 2015
Don't while away the hours on a slow day. "Focus on constructive activities," George Angus, head trainer at Team One Group, advises F&I managers. "Use this time to hone your skills. Practice your presentation. Develop your lender relations. Be a cheerleader. Whether you know it or not, the people around you look to you for direction."... Read More »
Take advantage of those pesky potholes
9:33 am U.S. ET | March 25, 2015
It's spring, time for roads to thaw and F&I managers to stockpile news items on the giant potholes lying in wait. "The Asbury Park Press is full of them," says Chris Bell, finance director for Freehold Buick-GMC, near the Jersey shore. He has a display stand outside his office, but instead of holding shiny, new wheels it houses dinged up ones. Sales of tire-and-wheel plans "always go up" as a result of winter weather, he says....

Better shred than read
11:20 am U.S. ET | March 18, 2015
Timely shredding is an important way to keep confidential customer and dealership information confidential. "The bad guys are not beyond rooting through your trash can looking for identities to steal," says Boulton Fernando, chief security officer at Toyota Financial Services. "The same applies to wiping of old personal computers, mobile phones and servers. If not disposed of correctly, data can easily be retrieved from hard drives. Shred it!"... Read More »
Technical safeguards need human backup
10:31 am U.S. ET | March 11, 2015
It's easy to assume that technology alone can protect customer data. In fact, safeguarding data is the responsibility of everyone at the dealership, says Boulton Fernando, chief security officer at Toyota Financial Services. "Technology alone is never enough," he says. "The bad guys will look for the weakest links, and these are often the untrained and careless employee who believes that 'anti-virus' and 'firewalls' mean they are safe."... Read More »
Allow customers time to ponder
11:08 am U.S. ET | March 4, 2015
Customers sometimes need to go home and think, and that's OK, says Brandon Wood, finance manager at Van Bortel Ford in East Rochester, N.Y. "I work for a dealer principal who never wants any customer feeling pressured, period," he says. Wood sometimes emails customers a menu of F&I products to look over. He's created different templates for new-car purchases, used, certified pre-owned and leases. "This saves so much time!"... Read More »
Advanced knowledge makes for easier sell
10:26 am U.S. ET | Feb. 25, 2015
Some F&I managers don't interview customers before they get to the F&I office for fear of provoking sales resistance. But Fred Gitter, business manager for Lia Honda in Albany, N.Y., makes it a point to interview first-time customers so he can set up a customized menu. "A quick understanding of who I am dealing with ... and a quick overview of their driving habits," Gitter says, makes for an easier sell.... Read More »

Here's an experiment for March. For the entire month, don't peek at the numbers. Pay attention only to customers' needs and wants. Jason Melton, finance manager at Roger Jobs Porsche in Bellingham, Wash., did the test in January and discovered at month's end he had improved 10 to 15 percent per retail unit. Through Feb. 15, he improved some more.... Read More »
To sell F&I, keep calm and carry on
10:26 am U.S. ET | Feb. 11, 2015
F&I managers can't let frustration over customer objections show, even with body language, which can say: "If you're not going to buy anything, then get the heck out of my office," according to F&I trainer Ron Reahard. It's important to explore the customer's real motivation. Use reflective probes, Reahard advises, such as, "So you feel like it's more than you can afford?" or "You're not sure you need the protection?"... Read More »
Long-distance sale? Pitch F&I anyway
9:56 am U.S. ET | Feb. 4, 2015
Got customers who sometimes order vehicles from a great distance away? Email an F&I menu and brochures for, say, an extended service contract, tire-and-wheel and key replacement, suggests Joe Serra, financial services manager at McDermott Lexus of New Haven (Conn.). That's what he does. "Obviously, I'd rather do it face to face, but at that point it's a zero," he says. "Any sale I make is gravy."... Read More »
Keep videos short -- no feature presentations
10:03 am U.S. ET | Jan. 28, 2015
Dealerships that use videos to pitch F&I products or explain product features on an iPad need to keep them short, no more than a couple minutes. "People start out with these 12-minute videos. No way is anybody going to watch all that," said David Putz, head of direct markets for Zurich North America Commercial, of Overland Park, Kan.... Read More »
Stick to measurable goals in 2015
10:51 am U.S. ET | Jan. 21, 2015
"Make more money" sounds like a good aim, but it's not an effective 2015 goal, says George Angus, head F&I trainer for Team One. Instead, realistically assess your current numbers. Pick specific, measurable goals, such as increasing penetration of one F&I product at a time, he advises. "The reality is that a dealer isn't going to hit a switch and all of a sudden double their income per unit. It's just not a realistic goal."... Read More »
Customers' spills provide great selling points
10:29 am U.S. ET | Jan. 14, 2015
Real-life examples illustrate the value of fabric protection, says Linda Benthien Flannigan, finance manager for Titus-Will Chevrolet-GMC-Buick-Cadillac in Olympia, Wash. One customer's child vomited red Gatorade all over the cream-colored interior of a Cadillac Escalade. To the customer's surprise, there was zero lasting damage. Same with the bloody nose of another customer's son. Those examples can help pitch new customers. "I have had customers come back and thank me," she said.... Read More »
Selling fabric protection? Skip the coffee
10:45 am U.S. ET | Jan. 7, 2015
When pitching fabric protection, don't mention a specific stain, advises Kevin Grant, finance manager at Prestige Land Rover of Paramus (N.J.). F&I managers commonly warn customers that eventually they'll spill their coffee, but that can backfire. Some customers respond: "That can't happen to me. I don't drink coffee." Instead, Grant said, stick to a simple truth: Sooner or later, everybody spills.... Read More »
Stress timely payments from the get-go
11:04 am U.S. ET | Dec. 30, 2014
Subprime loans often go bad when the consumer misses one of the very first payments. Paul McCarthy, F&I Director at Stevenson Automotive Group in Jacksonville, N.C., recommends F&I managers explain to subprime borrowers the importance of making each payment on time, maybe even a day or two early. This can help the individual improve his or her credit score, and the lender will appreciate it.... Read More »

A picture perfect way to sell GAP
11:01 am U.S. ET | Dec. 17, 2014
To pitch guaranteed asset protection, use a visual to illustrate unexpected events, suggests Chris Shields, business manager for Mountain Valley Motors (Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge-Ram) in Blue Ridge, Ga. GAP pays the shortfall if insurance proceeds on a stolen or totaled vehicle aren't enough to pay the owner's loan or lease balance. Shields got his prop the hard way: "I show a picture of my wife's totaled Mazda, when a huge tree limb fell on it right in our driveway."... Read More »
The power of a prop
11:09 am U.S. ET | Dec. 10, 2014
To show the benefit of interior fabric stain-proofing, Justin Gasman, finance director for McCaddon Cadillac-Buick-GMC in Boulder, Colo., uses a simple prop provided by the manufacturer of the coating: a small card with a line down the middle. One side is treated, the other untreated. A drop of oil wipes right off the treated side. Another drop soaks into the untreated side. Says Gasman: "Most people see the value in it."... Read More »
Why the need for GAP is real
11:35 am U.S. ET | Dec. 3, 2014
A common customer objection to GAP is: "I've never had a car stolen." F&I trainer Ron Reahard suggests responding: "I'm glad to hear that. Auto theft is such a huge problem today, which is why virtually every new vehicle we sell comes standard with a security system from the manufacturer." Emphasize to customers that if their car is stolen when new, they are at the greatest risk because their loan balance is at its highest, he adds.... Read More »
Do-it-yourself maintenance? Not possible
11:06 am U.S. ET | Nov. 26, 2014
Explain the value of an extended service contract by comparing repairing today's vehicles to fixing a computer. You can't do it yourself, says Dina Wilson, finance director for Timbrook Automotive Group in Cumberland, Md. "You used to be able to access everything under the hood. Today, everything is computerized and harder to maintain," she said at an industry conference. "If something goes wrong with your computer, you usually just have to replace it."... Read More »
Do customers balk at signing a screen? Easy does it
12:03 pm U.S. ET | Nov. 19, 2014
To ease customers into signing electronic documents, introduce a simple document for them to sign early in the F&I process, advised Mark Singleton, senior vice president at Reynolds and Reynolds Co. "Have them do a Department of Motor Vehicles form or an odometer form. It's easy to do that upfront. The way the world works now, they have a fun demo ride, then they get turned over to the finance manager. ... It's a turnoff."... Read More »
Pitch service plans one by one
10:25 am U.S. ET | Nov. 12, 2014
Present just one extended service plan at a time, and have a backup plan handy, F&I trainer Ron Reahard advises. Offering a range of plans at once creates confusion. Start with the best, most expensive plan. If the customer's response is indecision or an objection, he says, offer the next-best, and so on.... Read More »
The wrong words can kill a sale
11:29 am U.S. ET | Nov. 5, 2014
Don't use the words "cash down," says Peter Velau, president of the training division at Southwest Dealer Services. "The customer thinks that's bad. The word [term] itself is a negative in their head." Instead, he advises managers selling F&I products: "Explain it just as 'You're buying this.'"... Read More »
Why you shouldn't dis credit unions

Negative statements about credit unions are "an absolute credibility killer," says George Angus. Customers believe in their credit unions.

Embrace Gen Y's pride in exclusivity

Would you sell your F&I products to an expert?
12:01 am U.S. ET | Oct. 15, 2014
If you don't believe in your F&I products enough to pitch them to an industry expert, stop selling them, advises Matt Nowicki, vice president of retail software at IAS. When he buys a car, he says, F&I managers see where he works and assume he won't buy an F&I product, so they don't offer him any. That's wrong, he says. "If you're selling a product you don't believe in, please stop."... Read More »

Basement too cold?
I am trying to keep some cuttings from annuals in my basement over the winter (I'm pretty new at this). I have some coleus and impatiens under florescent gro-lights and they did very well for the first couple of months. Now the coleus is getting black stem rot and the impatiens are losing leaves.
I'm worried that my basement is too cold since I live in an old house. I've read in other postings about fans, heaters and heat mats and don't know which options will help me.
I've managed to take cuttings from the coleus and they're in a glass of water on my kitchen windowsill for now, but I don't have enough light in my windows to keep all the cuttings.
Any suggestions?
Hi! I think that the temperature (and light) is a problem during the winter months since Coleus and Impatiens are tropical species. As temperatures drop, there is less uptake of water and nutrients, and excess water in the potting media give rise to fungal infections at the roots, especially with a lack of air circulation when brought indoors.
I root cuttings of my favourite varieties at the end of summer here and keep them above 20 degrees C/ 68 F in the house under on growing shelves that have a special light spectra for plants. It is better to take the seeds of Impatiens and store them in an envelope in a warm and dry area in a kitchen cabinet. For Coleus, take cuttings and get them rooted at the end of summer in a potting mix under cover, and provide as much light as possible after they are rooted in the winter. In Canada, I would put rooted Coleus in an unobstructed south-facing window if you have one. But don't try to root any annual successfully once the cool weather arrives and light diminishes.
Sounds more like too much water to me. Impatiens cuttings are renowned for rotting off in soil that doesn't drain well enough. I overwinter Impatiens in temperatures that rarely get above 70F and often go down to 50F at night. If you can keep to those temperatures then you can grow your Impatiens. Just no tto much water until they have really established good roots.
Thanks for the information. I have checked the temperature down there and with the lights on in the day it's 16C or about 61F. So maybe I need it warmer during the day. I don't have a vent down there from my furnance so should I use a space heater or a heat mat? I will also make sure they dry out between watering.

Career Services:
I haven't finished the program at this time but am excited about the opportunities the school will help me find
Overall Experience:
I have not yet completed the program but I here the alumni network is great. Those who have finished the program are very proud to be graduates of Hallmark
Campus Resources:
The campus is extremely pleasing to the eye but the most awesome part of the campus is the amazing equipment / computers we have access to. The school truly provides all we need to complete the program. It's a small campus in a fairly rural area but the surrounding towns / larger colleges offer all that one might want for a "college experience". Personally I love that our campus is focused on education. We're immersed in photography (that's why we are here and not at a state college) and I love that there aren't distractions that a large campus would have. Those distractions are a short drive to the neighboring community if desired but our little area is peaceful and beautiful
Campus Resources:
Great. Have no complaints
Student Body:
The student body is very diverse, which I love. We have a some students straight from high school but most are already photographers that want a better education. Many have art degrees but found that their four year college didn't teach them the needed techniques/skills the field of Photography requires. There a many international students, various age ranges, many adult students looking for a career change.
Overall Experience:
I had actually been accepted into the program years ago but the timing was not right for me and I was financially unable to go at that time. I am THRILLED that I am now a student of Hallmark Institute of Photography. I am very proud to be connected to the school. It's a lot of $ but so worth the amazing education. YES, I would do it over again.
Academic Flexibility:
The admissions staff is very upfront at the beginning phases of even applying to the school. This is not a part-time education. It is intense. Some people do not complete the program. Budgeting for the school includes EVERYTHING you'll need to make it though the program without working as you will need to be focused on the program. It's only 10 months and it moves fast. You have to keep up and be really invested. Personally I LOVE it. It's the first time in my life where I've been able to set other things aside and focus on me, my education and my career plans.
Academic Experience:
The facilities and faculty are AMAZING. The computer labs, the equipment… everything is top of the line.
Academic Experience:
I love that it's a complete immersion program. I will live, breath, and possibly want to die at various times, PHOTOGRAPHY! My world will be very focused on my field of study. I love that I don't have to take a lot of filler credits that have no bearing on what my degree/certificate is. I also LOVE that such a large portion of the program focuses on business. I can learn to be an amazing photographer but if I don't understand business/marketing I won't be very successful...
Tuition & Financial Aid:
In most things, you get what you pay for. Hallmark has very high tuition for a 10 month certificate HOWEVER, the education that you get here is sooo much greater than what you'd pay at a 4 year college. The school is a specialty school and the complete immersion into the world of photography will be so much more rewarding than wasting time and money getting an art degree… I truly believe it's worth the higher tuition for the quality of education they offer. I do wish there was more aid available though. It has been a struggle finding funding outside of high interest loans :(

Slow release fertilizer not good for succulents?
paulsiu(5a)June 19, 2012
I recently purchased an ice plant and is growing it in a container hanging off the mail box. The instruction on the webs said not to overwater it.
I have water it heavily when I first planted it a month ago and have not watered it since. It did get rain twice. The plant looks healthy, so it's probably getting enough water.
I fertilized with a slow release granular fertilizer, but I wonder if that will actually work, since it's not wet enough to dissolve.
paulsiu, I am not being evasive when I say "It depends".
- Monitor the soil moisture in the container on a regular schedule. Over time, water will settle at the bottom of the container and from there it will move upward in the soil by capillary action. As moisture is depleted, two things will happen.
- The top layer(s) of the soil will dry out. Eventually all moisture will be lost except hygroscopic water.
- Whatever is dissolved in the soil water will get more and more concentrated as the moisture is depleted. By fertilizing you have added to this component; and you can expect it to increase as the fertilizer breaks down. How rapidly that will happen depends on how quickly the fertilizer is released.
- As moisture is depleted, the plant has to expend more and more of its energy to extract water. This takes a toll on its appearance (its good looks if you will). Leaves roll up; lowest ones lose green color; stems/stalks become furrowed. The plant dies.
- Learn the earliest symptoms of moisture stress and watch carefully for the symptoms - a daily visit to your mailbox will help - and add water judiciously. Watch for improvement and after a short while you will get to know how much water to add - and how often.

New Doctor
My shoulders and neck have finally reached the point I have trouble sleeping and getting out of bed in the mornings, and somedays cannot raise my arms over my head. I have an appointment with a new ortho dr in the morning, please keep me in your prayers.
That's bad. I hope the new doctor will be able to suggest something that works. Another thing that might help some is to consider the condition of your mattress. I once brought on a lot of trouble by sleeping for a prolonged period on a sofa bed (there being no bathroom upstairs) and was so surprised when I went back to sleeping upstairs and my neck and shoulders got better. I'll be thinking of you. Let us know the outcome.
Thinking of you and praying you find relief.
If I do a lot of sewing or gardening I take a
couple of Ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer
going to bed. A DR told my daugher to sleep on
her back with her hands down at her sides and thumbs
tucked under her thighs. It really helps take the
stress out of the shoulders and neck.
Thanks everyone. Mayme, that is the only way I can sleep, and it does work, thanks. I have trouble turning over with any pressure on my shoulders. Hurts up into my neck. I have trouble doing any repetitive things, like crochet or hand work. I can ride the bike as long as DH doesn't mind me shifting my weight around some. We have the handlebars set so I can sit fairly straight and oddly enough that doesn't hurt as much as operating the mouse on the computer. I can sew, and do most anything as long as I don't do it too long. I have to get up every 10 minutes or so and move around. Makes it hard to get much done. Can't mop the whole house at once, just a room at at time...
The doc thinks it is due to cervical strain. There is narrowing between all the cervical vertibre, but not enough for surgery. I start physical therapy in the morning. I have to go 3 days a week for 3 weeks and take 800 mg Ibuprofen 3 times a day, non negotiable. He asked why I haven't seen an orthopedic before if this has been going on for 10 years, and when I told him I had been to 2 and all they did was say arthritis, shoot Kenalog in the joint then send me home, he was not happy.
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts.
Beverly, Glad to hear you're getting some help, now. Hope the therapy helps and surgery isn't in your future. Are you taking that much Ibuprofen just for the 3 weeks of therapy?
Let us know how therapy goes......if you're able to move afterwards. @:)
You might want to look into a different mouse. I got the mouse that's in the left picture at one of the local computer stores. I can move the ball with my thumb or with my forefinger. I have put it on my lap when using it up high hurts.
Here is a link that might be useful: ergonomic mouse
My DD has RA and she was seeing quack (the only DR her insurance would cover) that was giving her only hugh amounts of aspirin. After going through 4 more docs she finally found one that helped her. And the really scary part is they were all specialists.
Through diet change and massages and meds she is now feeling much better.
Sounds like you have finally founds a good one too.
Ahhhh, Glass, I wish it were work related, but it has been going on (off and on) for many years now, just gets works with the little mouse movements. They have gotten me a nice chair with better support and let me go the the physical therapy department to do my exercises today. I can't complane too much.
I am so sorry to hear of this, grammy. I hope that things are getting easier for you and that the therapy is helping. I know that you prefer to be active so it must be hard. Glad to hear that you have more confidence in this doctor.
Take care,
Kelly - NH

Prude Mill Road needs help
Published: Sunday, June 15, 2003 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 14, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
Dear Editor: To the Tuscaloosa City Council: I see from The Tuscaloosa News that you are having a hard time deciding what to do with the speed circle on Queen City Avenue. Let me make a suggestion. The residents on Prude Mill Road will gladly accept them.
You see, this road was first built in 1902 and rerouted to the east in 1942. Aside from a culvert to replace a wooden bridge in 1964, there has been, to my memory, no other upgrading of our road.The new Emerson Davis Middle School will be opening in August and will be adding to the already existing traffic related to Tuscaloosa Christian School.
The traffic and homes have increased dramatically, as has the speed of the drivers, since 1902. The residents, schools and businesses on Prude Mill Road are in desperate need of some relief, and I will gladly show you several sites where a few speed circles or other traffic-control devices would be greatly appreciated and necessary.

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — Notifications being sent to thousands of people on Arkansas' compromise Medicaid expansion telling them the program is ending would also include information about a task force looking at alternatives for coverage, under a measure heading to the House.
The Senate approved by a 26-3 vote a proposal to add information about the task force to notifications approved by the Legislature. The notifications are being sent to those enrolling or renewing their coverage in the "private option," which uses federal funds to purchase private insurance for the poor.
Lawmakers have voted to extend the private option another year while the task force comes up with recommendations, which could include some form of Medicaid expansion similar to the private option.

New news is in and it doesn't look good for Bieber. Rumor has it that Justin Bieber didn't cheat once on Selena Gomez but twice. The Canadian crooner allegedly had a quick tryst with a 22-year old model/ nursing student named, Milyn "Mimi" Jenson back in December 2012. Read on to find out.
If Selena Gomez ever hears of this, the "Jelena" duo is likely to ever get back together. According to reports, Justin Bieber had cheated on Swift for another model and no it isn't Barbara Palvin of Victoria's Secret. "Beliebers" say hello to Milyn "Mimi" Jenson who had enjoyed seven minutes and more of heaven at Bieber's bachelor pad at Four Seasons.
Onlookers claim that Justin and friend, Lil' Twist had met at Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. The stars also met Mimi that time then stopped at McDonalds for food before heading to Bieber's pad at Calabasas area in Los Angeles.
"They all went to buy weed at a smoke shop on Olympic Blvd. in Hollywood," said the insider, adding "Then they got food at McDonald's and went back to the hotel."
A source claimed to Star Magazine that Bieber was making all the swag moves on Mimi in hopes to getting laid.
"He was really kind and romantic [to Milyn]," said the source.
The source also goes on to add that Justin "acted like he was [single]" and that he had been "smoking pot all night." This then lead to Justin finally making a move on the model.
"Justin surprised her by saying, 'I want to know if you taste good.' He started kissing her cheek and ear and neck and then her whole body," said the source. The two then allegedly engaged in sexual activity.
"He seemed out of it, and even though he didn't ask Mimi to leave, she decided she should go," said the source after the romp.
While multiple sources confirm of the preposterous story of Bieber and Mimi, Gossip Cop squashes all rumors. A representative for Bieber has spoken up on the issue and claims all the stories are false. Fans of Bieber may recall the rumor back in December where he had an alleged "sex-romp" with a woman in tawdry language of which was also dubbed false.

Retaining Wall on Slope
I have a pretty steep slope on my front yard. I just pulled out some overgrown lorapetalums from in front of the crepe myrtle tree in the pic. They were ugly as heck, but their root systems were well established and helped with erosion. I think I need to add a retaining wall in addition to new ornamental grass plantings to replace the erosion control and improve the look.
I found this video that, along with several other tutorials online, have helped me feel fairly confident that I can tackle this project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp5OLKynS3k
BUT, all of the videos show walls being built on ground that is not nearly as sloped as mine. The only thing I can find about slopes is "start at the lowest point". Ok, got that. But does anyone have any better or more detailed information? Do I start at the lowest point, dig my footer ditch only at that spot, and then build up until it reaches the level of the next lowest point of the slope where I would then dig that footer layer, and so on?
Anyone done this, or have a video to link that shows it sort of step by step for dummies?
It's hard to see where and the length/height of the wall you plan from the photo. If it is a 16 inch wall, 15 ft long, you certainly can build a SRW wall.
But looking at the video you linked, I think you are being mislead. A competent contractor has both the skill and equipment to make the more expensive block into nice looking strong wall. Few homeowners have either the skill or equipment needed. At 1:13 in the video there is a list of needed tools. Unless you weigh 350 and look like a NFL lineman, that hand tamper won't get the job done. You need a plate compactor. With the speed of wall completion common to homeowners, count on renting the compactor several times. Additionally, you need the ability to cut the stone and caps to give the wall a finished look. Trying to do it with a 4 inch chisel is a joke. There is a lot of skill in grading to perfection the compacted base for the first course of blocks.
All these SRW blocks are locally made under license. As the molds age the block becomes less uniform. A contractor knows what is an acceptable tolerance. A bad batch gets taken back and sold to a homeowner. By being a repeat customer, a contractor has more leverage for a better price and quality.
The good thing about SRW is that you can keep taking it down and rebuilding it until you get it right (if your back can stand it).
I understand steep slopes! Our front slope is so steep, you can't even see the first floor of our home when driving up the road.
Our home sits higher than the road in front, and much higher than the ravine below. We are the third owner of this property, and have several versions of retaining walls here and there.
Our retaining wall in front, if you call it that, is railroad ties, horizontally stacked about 4 ties high, and held in place by rebar. There are tons of rosemary plants cascading over the retaining wall. Above that are many varieties of roses, salvias, and ground covers, all providing the necessary root systems to keep the ground in place.
I am pretty sure this was a DIY project by a previous owner, but it looks really nice. We get compliments all the time from neighbors. At the top of the retaining wall is a decorative black wrought iron fence that separates the flat part of the front yard from the slope.
Good luck with your project! Drive around your area and see what your neighbors have done.

Penn State and Central Florida made it official Sunday, announcing that they will open the 2014 football season in Ireland.
The Croke Park Classic will be played Aug. 30 at Dublin's historic Croke Park, home of Ireland's Gaelic Athletic Association. The game will kick off at 1:30 p.m. (8:30 a.m. EST) on ESPN2.
The game was announced Sunday in Dublin during halftime of a Gaelic football game. Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner attended the game along with Central Florida head coach George O'Leary.
To accommodate the game, Penn State has shifted its previously scheduled season-opener with Temple to Nov. 15. The Lions will have two bye weeks in October during the 2014 Big Ten season.
Penn State coach Bill O'Brien has lobbied for a destination game since the NCAA levied sanctions against the program last July. Though Penn State is ineligible to play in a bowl game until the 2016 season, it can take advantage of an NCAA bylaw allowing teams to play an out-of-country game once every four years.
The opportunity to play in Ireland began when Penn State and Virginia agreed to suspend the second game of their two-year series scheduled for this September (Virginia will host Oregon instead). The Lions then scheduled Central Florida, in part because of the ties between the coaches. O'Brien worked for O'Leary at Georgia Tech and was set to become O'Leary's offensive coordinator at Notre Dame in 2001.
Central Florida will visit Penn State this September. Penn State initially said that it was discussing a trip to Orlando in return. Instead, the programs pursued the Ireland game, marking the first international competition for both football teams.
"On a personal level, obviously coach O'Brien and I are both of Irish heritage, so it means a great deal to both of us to be in a position to bring our teams here," O'Leary said.
This will mark the eighth American college football game in Ireland in NCAA history. Notre Dame defeated Navy last year in Dublin. Notre Dame and Navy also played in the last college game at Croke Park, in 1996.
In a release, officials said that last year's Notre Dame-Navy game drew 35,000 U.S. visitors to Dublin and generated about $130 million in economic impact. Leo Varadkar, Ireland's minister for transport tourism and sport, said the Penn State-UCF game would be "every bit as important."
Croke Park, which has a capacity of 82,500, will be configured to seat 69,000 for the game.
Tickets already are on sale for the game through Ireland's Ticketmaster site. Prices range from $26 to $104 for available seats. Official travel packages, which include a pre-game tailgate at the Guinness Storehouse, also are available.

Roland Emmerich had previously said one of the main hold-backs of the "Independence Day" sequel – now greenlit for a July 3, 2015 release – was Will Smith, whose star and price-tag has risen considerably since the release of the 1996 film.
Seems Fox greenlit the film on name alone, because Emmerich confirmed on the weekend – while on the promo trail for his new film "White House Down" – that Smith definitely won't be back.
"Will Smith can not come back because he's too expensive, but he'd also be too much of a marquee name," Emmerich tells The NY Daily News, "It would be too much".
Now I don't know about you guys, but I'm not that sad. With what Smith's been dishing out lately, I could… do without seeing him in something. If he did come aboard, chances are he'd demand son Jaden also got a role – likely as the character's now grown-up son. But also, he'd probably snag himself a producer credit and take over the production – tailor it to his needs. And as Emmerich suggests, this isn't a "vehicle" for anyone, it's an ensemble piece about a 'group of people' coming together to battle aliens.. not a one-man army.
"We have like maybe half of the people that you know would know from the first film (in the script) and the other half people who are new," Emmerich, reuniting with Dean Devlin for the sequel, said.
Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are said to be two of the original players coming back.
Of the sequel – said to be a two-parter; the first chapter called "ID Forever, Part I", which will be followed by "ID Forever Part II" – the filmmaker suggests it's somewhat a reboot, somewhat a sequel. It meets somewhere in the middle.
"We're not doing a total reboot, we're doing something that's totally unusual," said Emmerich.

AutoMD Member - 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Body & Interior - 3/16/2014The headlights and brake lights were functioning normally but it appeared that some of the tail lights were's on. Is this a possible fuse, bulb, or wiring issue? Thanks in advance.
3/16/2014 Affordable Auto ServiceI would check all fuses first. Which lights exactly are working and what is not working? The headlamp switch is a common problem and when it goes out can affect any of the lights. It will burn 1 or more of the wires at the switch
AutoMD Member - 1999 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) - Body & Interior - 3/11/2014Dash lights will work for a few minutes after replacing fuse but then will blow the fuse. I have replaced repeatedly with the same result. I don't have problem with other interior lights, or radio.
AutoMD Member - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Body & Interior - 3/5/2014When the vehicle is parked, a fully charged battery runs completely dead in two or three days. There are no lights on, and no indication of electrical power on.
12/9/2013 Sammydisconnect neg battery terminal connect test light to cable and touch battery neg post if light comes on you have a drain or parasitic draw then you have to start pulling fuses to find out which circuit its on
12/9/2013 HouseCallAuto90% of all cases like you are detailing here are caused by a degraded battery and the fix is a new battery. that being said..
Try removing fuse #7 the next time you park it and are going to not use it again for a day or two or whatever time it usually goes dead in. If removing fuse 7 seems to allow it to start without a problem after a reasonable time period and you are sold on the cause being fuse 7, replace the Lift Glass Ajar Switch which can go bad and cause a draw that goes through fuse 7. This costs nothing to try and rule it out.
3/5/2014 Welder95sounds like a dead cell battery, hook a charger on it if the charger blinks it is a dead cell
Bill Bergner - 2000 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) - Body & Interior - 2/21/2014other lights work, heater fan works but turn signals, radio and wipers will work only if engine is turned off and restarted.
Bill Bergner - 2000 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) - Body & Interior - 2/21/2014restarting engine gets the wipers, radio and turn indicators to wrk. Other lights work fine. Happens with headlights on or off Jeep has 188,000 miles Grounds have been cleaned up.
AutoMD Member - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Body & Interior - 2/16/2014I have no issue with either the right turn signal or emergency flashers, they work 100% of the time. My mechanic replaced the turn signal combo switch about a year ago. Performance improved somewhat but it is still not 100% reliable. Help - this has to be a ...
2/16/2014 JimmIf I understand - you are saying the left turn signal (either front or rear) works sporadically? If yes, then check for these conditions; loose bulb (front or rear) in the bulb socket, faulty wiring / connection at either the front or rear bulb.2/16/2014 AutoMD MemberI think the problem is in the turn signal lever when I put it in the left turn position. If I hit the steering wheel a couple times, it usually comes on. That leads me to believe either something is loose or is not making proper contact. No problems when I put it in the right turn position.
dunphyt - 2000 Jeep Cherokee - Body & Interior - 2/9/2014If i leave it running while sitting my heat works but when i drive down the interstate it feels like the air conditions on
2/9/2014 HouseCallAutoI will assume that the engine is not running hot for the sake of answering without knowing this for sure. The 4.0 Jeep engine is well known for bad water pump impellers and this will cause insufficient flow in the cooling system and of course give you poor or no heat when the engine rpm is increased, but oif the impeller is that b ad where it kills your heat then I would say that you would be running hot as well.
Another possible cause is a clogged heater core, but I'm not sold on that really. Do the heater hoses at the heater core feel hot to the touch after engine has been running for 30 minutes at least?
AutoMD Member - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Body & Interior - 1/10/2014the check gage light the speedometer and the gas hand and the oil and temperature gages all of them will be working and then there will be a beep and all the check engine lights and gages will just drop and stop working then It will beep again and they will start ...
1/10/2014 HouseCallAutoIf this were my job to find the cause and repair it, my strategy to diagnose it would be to suspect that the instrument cluster itself was no good but would want to know the reason if I could see it. Sometimes removing the cluster and reinstalling it fixes it without you really knowing what you did to change it for the better, maybe where the connector attaches to it has a loose pin connection, but the odds are the cluster is junk.
AutoMD Member - 1998 Jeep Cherokee - Body & Interior - 12/28/2013Blower runs on high only. Told to look for resistor behind glove compartment. None of the pictures of resistors look like what I see and they range in price from $16 to over $100.

Their standard location is close to the blower motor. Hope this help and Happy Holidays.
AutoMD Member - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Body & Interior - 12/25/2013If ,and when , I turn on the lights , I can't adjust the dash panel brightness without the interior lights coming on . It's either , panel lights at min. illumination and the roller switch in the "off" position , or all interior lights are on , no matter where ...

AutoMD Member - 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Body & Interior - 11/29/2013The electric control panel in the drivers side arm rest is leaning inward, sinking down on the inside edge lower than the edge of the arm rest. Can this be fixed by a home mechanic?
11/29/2013 HouseCallAutoI would bet that a MacGyver fix could be done, but I wouldn't know exactly how until it is examined. The panel itself comes undone without removing any screws so it's not terrible to remove and look and see what has happened that is allowing the panel to drop.

10/29/2013 HouseCallAutoI wish I could tell you what happened during your installation but I can't. The thing that makes this question the hardest type of question to answer is because the thing that caused this to happen did not occur naturally. It is what we refer to as "mechanic induced". Although you explanation of detail is good, it is just not enough. The instrument panel had to come out to do this job, a very complex undertaking with lots of wiring connections. Go over your work.
One armchair guess after looking at wiring diagrams. My armchair guess is that you left off a ground wire eyelet from under a bolt. The ground circuit that seems like would give problems between the headlight switch and speedo and tach function is G200, G200 is located by the air bag control module under the console. Did you take anything apart at or near the console?
