City to hold first meeting without ailing mayor
Mayor Pro Tem Nin Hulett is preparing to preside over Tuesday night's meeting of the Granbury City Council as Mayor Rickie Pratt remains hospitalized following a severe stroke.
It is still unknown how long Pratt may be incapacitated, though he has made some progress since being rushed to a Fort Worth hospital late last week.
Family spokesman Ken Grey, the mayor's brother-in-law, said this week that Pratt is receiving "excellent care" and is "alert and aware of his surroundings."
City Manager Wayne McKethan, who met with Hulett on Wednesday to discuss the agenda for the upcoming council meeting, said that Hulett will take on the mayoral role, but will still vote on every issue before the council. As mayor, Pratt only votes when there is a tie.
McKethan said that City Attorney Stuart Neal was consulted to make sure that proper procedure is followed regarding council votes.
As long as all five council members are present, there will not be a tie. In the event that a council member is unable to attend a meeting and a tie vote occurs, the issue will not pass, McKethan said.
Council member Tony Allen said Thursday that he and Hulett have set up a fund for Pratt through First National Bank. Donations can be made to the Rickie Pratt fund at any of the bank's branches in Hood County, he said.
Allen also stated that plans are under way to possibly hold an auction in the near future to benefit the Pratt family.
"We're just going to try to raise some money to help him," Allen said. "He's self-employed."
The mayor owns Pratt's Stereo & Video. It is a one-man operation.
Anyone interested in donating for the auction or helping the Pratt family in some other way can contact Allen at 817-894-1869.

There are, to put it as simply as possible, very manipulative and selfish people in our world and often people use other people. While everyone has a selfish streak, some people really do take advantage of others, constantly and intentionally. This is particularly common in a relationship situation or courtship situation. In this article, you'll find out how to tell if a girl is using you.
1. Think about the time you spend with this person. What is the conversation like? Are you usually doing things that interest both of you or is it more one-sided? Look for some warning signs. If the majority of your time with the person involves you hanging around with their friends and never spending time just the two of you, then that person may be using you. If your conversation is empty and hollow, then there's a chance this person doesn't enjoy your company at all and is in fact using you.
2. Next, ask yourself what this person could be using you for. Do they have low self-esteem? Are they insecure? In this case, ask the girl about her history. If she has had many relationships that usually do not last long, then there's a good chance she's insecure about herself. She feels as if she needs to have a significant other and does not really care who that person is as long as it's somebody. So, if there's been an abnormally large amount of former relationships, take that as a huge warning sign.

John D'Arcy | June 28, 2012 | Comments
How a great voice-of-the-customer program drives the queen's strategy, communications, and branding.
Here in London, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee dominated our hearts and minds this month. We've just about recovered from a week of sore heads from all the forelock tugging, aching knees from a weekend of genuflecting, and cricked backs from hanging up all the bunting. It's been a wonderful festival of regal majesty that the people of the U.K. have celebrated by going on a massive four-day bender.
Waking up after all the street parties, 9,500 across our tiny island, the analyst in me paid some attention not just to all the mind-boggling stats and data about Queen Elizabeth II but also about the success she's turned her monarchy into.
After a near revolution just over a decade ago, Her Maj is hugely popular these days, more so than any elected politician has been in my lifetime. Consider these facts:
So what is driving her success? Are there any learnings behind all of this over-excitement and recession-busting financial splurge that your business can learn from? Well here are some to think about:
Reward your customers. Liz does this in a few ways. She treats her most valuable followers with a special reward program or "knighthood" as it's known but she doesn't forget the long tail. We all got a day off work to celebrate her reign - amazing how the popularity and support for an organization rockets when they give something back. In the last two years the subjects of Queen Liz have been given extra national holidays twice, once for her grandson's wedding 12 months ago and this year to show our support for her jubilee. A gift to say thanks really works!
Be responsive to change. Even Elizabeth II has a digital media presence and she sent the first ever email in the U.K.
Bring in new team members to innovate and ensure you are using the latest methodologies. We were getting pretty bored by her children and everyone loves a nice wedding.
Every organization needs great leadership. And organizations need to be able to rally around a figurehead who can drive a philosophy and lead people to success - she's the Jim Sterne of monarchies.
Wear a nice hat. I couldn't find any significant correlation in the data for this recommendation but wouldn't want to rule it out.
And how do we know that all of the above delivers value, success, and improved customer perception? Well there are many studies run in the U.K. every month that ask us our opinions, querying our views of the future of the monarchy, its current performance, and how we think it should be shaped in the future. Wow! She has a great voice-of-the-customer program and uses that to drive her strategy, communications, and branding.
My not altogether serious analysis may seem a little flippant and you may not be running to the financial director to get a budget for a monarchy program kicked off. But think about this. How many of the companies you have worked for will still be successful in another 60 years? How many of your CEOs do you think will still be in place in five years? Maybe there are some things to think about here on how successful organizations behave, how to lead, how to engage, and how to change. I'm not taking down my bunting just yet. God bless 'er.

Local government is faced with huge challenges as it moves into the future.
Responding to recent legislation around the impact of climate change and related matters such as food security is becoming a significant issue for local government.
Another emerging issue is the need to create the governance to manage Australia's two-track economy. The flow-on impact of the global financial crisis – including fiscal stress on higher tiers of government – requires a governance response at a local level.
Other challenges that need to be met at a local level include coping with an ageing population and delivering affordable housing.
This is the century of the city and Australia is part of the world's most dynamically urbanising region. This means the performance of metropolitan governance is under increasing scrutiny.
Across Australia local government is changing. These changes include:
Councils need to determine the future of local government by developing new approaches to local governance and advocating for council-led change.
For enquiries, contact John Hennessy.
The annual Future of Local Government Summit brings together experts from around the world to share their views on the influences shaping local government and the opportunities this can create for Victorian councils and their communities.
It has been running since 2005.
The MAV Future of Local Government Program has established a Strategic Planning Group as well as a Councils of the Future Program to:
Currently, the process is identifying those functions suited to a statewide and regional level. Councils will be invited to participate in proof of concept trials for agreed collaborative activities on a common platform.

· To the National TV Awards, the festival of back slapping that makes the Baftas seem like the Nobel prizes. Forget about Christopher Eccleston's no-show, the real drama was in the grand tier box hosted by News of the World editor Andy Coulson. Once their canapés were all scoffed, Coulson took the unusual step of sending out for a dozen pizzas, complete with garlic bread and puddings. Only problem was that Albert Hall security wasn't too keen on letting them in. So Coulson, aided by guest Paul McKenna, smuggled them in under a couple of overcoats. Perhaps McKenna hypnotised the guards. By the end of the night the box looked like a student bedsit, with empty pizza boxes everywhere. Potentially embarrassing for Coulson, then, until one of his hacks had the idea of swapping the name plate on their box with the one next door. And the name on the neighbouring box? Sir Trevor McDonald. Oh the shame.

Ex-Pac-12 ref: I was trying to 'lighten the mood'
SAN FRANCISCO Former Pac-12 Conference coordinator of officials Ed Rush says he was just trying to "lighten the mood" in a tense locker room when he "jokingly" made offers of $5,000 or a trip to Mexico for any referee who disciplined Arizona coach Sean Miller during the league tournament.
In his first interview since reports surfaced of the incident that forced his resignation, Rush told The Associated Press on Thursday night that the comments were "absolutely, 100 percent said in jest." He believes the remarks were leaked out by officials who were unhappy with his overall handling of the Pac-12 program and wanted to tarnish his reputation.
Rush said his remarks were part of an overall "point of emphasis" to crack down on coach misconduct on the sideline after Arizona's 79-69 win over Colorado in the Pac-12 quarterfinal March 14. In the course of that meeting, Rush said he called out officials who worked the game - Michael Greenstein, Tony Padilla and Brett Nansel- for not disciplining either Miller or Buffaloes coach Tad Boyle for their behavior.
Officials who were working the California-Utah game next - Verne Harris, Deron White and Dave Hall - also were in the locker room getting ready.
"I said, `The game cried out for a bench warning. It would have been very simple to take care of that. It cried out for bench warnings,'" Rush said in a phone interview with the AP. "Another crew was waiting in there, getting ready for the next game. I would say there was a level of tension in the locker room, just because the disappointment that they worked this game, but they didn't take care of something that was a point of emphasis.
"So in an effort just to lighten the mood, I said to them, `Hey, guys. What's it going to take? Do you think we could give you a trip to Cancun or maybe $5,000? Or who wants what? And now they're all laughing, which is basically what I wanted to do. So I said, `I know you guys, you probably want $5,000, you want the money, you won't take the trip to Cancun. So I'm going around, `What would you take?' At that point, I said, `By the way, you know my wife's not going to go for this. I'm going to have to pull this off the table.' They all laughed, `Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, bud.' That was it, and I walked out."
An investigation done by the conference's head of enforcement, Ron Barker, found that every official interviewed confirmed "nobody thought they were getting a reward," Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said. But Rush couldn't survive the swarm of public criticism this week once the comments became public in a CBSSports.com report.
The 70-year-old Rush, a longtime NBA referee and the league's former director of officiating, had been a consultant to the Pac-12 since 2007 before becoming conference coordinator of officials last May. He said he offered his resignation to Scott by phone Thursday afternoon once it became clear it was going to be "difficult to rebuild trust" of coaches, players and the public.

Apartment / 1 bedrooms / sleeps 2
|Key Info
Apartment 39 Lothian House is a compact 1 bedroom unique apartment, which is fully equipped and luxuriously appointed to the highest standards. Both our apartments (21 Cordiner's Land is our other property) have received annual Four Star Self-Catering awards for the past 16 years, so you can book with confidence for your visit to Edinburgh. The apartment has recently been tastefully modernised with an elegant decor, suiting discerning travellers requiring quality, homely comfort and relaxation. It is extremely well maintained and always presented in the highest condition of cleanliness. It is located on the third floor (there is a lift/elevator) at the front of this historic Art-Deco building. It features superb views from all rooms, particularly the sitting room which has an outstanding outlook over the city and Edinburgh Castle, with spectacular illuminations at night. This is a great place to stay, particularly if you are seeking a very central location, and cleanliness, comfort & excellent value for money are important factors in your accommodation selection.
Lothian House is a unique Art-Deco building and is an Edinburgh landmark. It's unusual architecture reflects a part of the city's history, depicting scenes of canal workers on the building's exterior friezes. (This location was at the end of the historic Union Canal - the area has been re-developed and it is now possible to enjoy a lovely walk along the refurbished canal area, including being able to stop for a drink or to dine there, if desired.)
The central location makes sightseeing very easy, with many attractions close by. It is only a few minutes easy walk to Princes Street, down Lothian Road. The Edinburgh International Conference Centre is across the road and major banks, theatres, cinemas, restaurants, public car parks, shopping and Edinburgh Castle are all within a 5-10 minute walk. Bus stops are only a minute away and taxis pass the front door.
This lovely property is ideal for single travellers and offers very good security (particularly for women, being 'female friendly'), but it is also great for couples seeking a romantic city centre hideaway, or for small families needing a comfortable base whilst sightseeing.
=**PLEASE NOTE: The Lothian House Leisure Complex is currently closed for an extensive refurbishment programme to be undertaken, we do not know when this will be done, but will update this site as soon as more information is available.

The Edinburgh region
Edinburgh is full of wonderful things to see and do in this famous Capital city! It is home to some of Scotland's most important historic buildings, places of interest, museums, galleries, theatres, cinemas, culturally enriching experiences, sporting venues, theatrical events & literary tours. It is also easy to take half day trips to a multitude of interesting surrounding places, attractions, general areas of historic note & beautiful countryside such as the Borders. Day trips as far afield as the Highlands are also possible from Edinburgh. Over the past 16 years our guests have regularly said they wished they could have stayed longer, and many have returned for those promised longer 'return visits'!
Apartment 39 Lothian House is located on the corner of Lothian Road & Morrison Street (EH3 9DD), in the heart of Edinburgh's city centre. It is easy walking distance to attractions, theatres, cinemas, clubs, pubs, restaurants, shops, and Princes Street with its beautiful gardens. These gardens are superb for relaxing, or even enjoying a picnic on a summery evening, when the long twilights encourage visitors to enjoy the extended daylight hours. Edinburgh Castle & the Royal Mile are close by - this historic mile is a road leading down the hill from the Castle to the Palace of Holyrood House. The famous Grassmarket is another vibrant area to visit, there are historic pubs where you can enjoy a relaxing meal, do a bit of shopping, or take in some entertainment. The weekly Farmers Market is only 5 minutes walk away from Lothian House, each Saturday morning. This apartment really is in a fabulous location, right in the heart of the action - particularly at festival times. Edinburgh has many festivals, including the Edinburgh International Festival, Fringe Festival, Military Tattoo, Book Festival, Film Festival & Jazz Festival - to name some of the main ones! Events are mainly based at venues within the city centre area, and so are either an easy walk away, or a short bus or taxi journey. Frequent public transport passes the front door of Lothian House, so it really is easy to travel about. A visit here will truly help to create memories of a lifetime!

"Five Star"
I cannot think of one thing that was wrong with this apartment. The location was great, just a small walk to Princes Street, and walkable to the Royal Mile. Buses stopped just across the road (inclu… More

"A wee gem in the heart of Edinburgh"
I've stayed in this apartment in Lothian House several times now on business, the fact I keep coming back should speak volumes.
Always spotlessly clean and perfectly furnished, I was surprised and pleased to find on my latest stay that the flat has recently been refurbished making what was an already lovely apartment even better.
Perfectly situated on Lothian Road in the centre of Edinburgh, the flat is well fixed for pretty much everything in town - whether that be restaurants, pubs, theatre and cinema - all in walking distance.
Always a warm welcome on arrival and the inclusion of some basic foodstuff (milk, bread, cereals etc) to get you started is a lovely touch. There's a supermarket right round the corner so picking up anything else is easy enough.
Perfect for couples (I bring my girlfriend who loves the swimming pool access in the basement of the building), the apartment is a snug wee gem in the heart of Edinburgh. Light sleepers may want to note though that given the central location that there is sometimes some noise to contend with at the weekends (from revelers at pubs and clubs nearby) but a small issue for the ideal location.
Highly recommended!
We are glad to hear you liked what we have done with the recent improvements and our new décor! Thanks very much for taking the time to provide this great review. We look forward to accommodating you again next year.

Thanks for this great review. I'm glad the problem with the central heating didn't affect your enjoyment of your return visit to Lothian House. (Thankfully, we were able to get it fixed quickly on the Monday morning and it just took a few minutes, as it was only a blocked air-vent!). We hope to see you again, in the not too distant future!

Before I respond properly to your comments, please allow me to say I'm sorry it has taken me a while to reply to this great review of Apartment 39 Lothian House. Your comments are very helpful and welcome. We never get tired of looking at the amazing views and are glad you enjoyed them, and the central location too. Dawn and I were delighted to hear that you appreciated our prompt attention when the power went out! We always try to attend to maintenance issues as quickly as possible and I think on that occasion everything just fell into place very well. We know it can be so frustrating waiting for things to get done, when you just want to get on with enjoying your holiday, so thanks for mentioning that. We hope to see you again sometime.

- Very clean
- Fantastic personal and flexible service
- Nice to get a breakfast welcome package

"wonderful accomodation in the centre of Edinburgh"
The apartment is located in the centre. Most of attractions are in walking distance. The bus to the airport stops round the corner. Every day you can easily have a nice walk in Princes Gardens, famous Grassmarket or climb the hill with the Castle. Great variety of shops and pubs or restaurants.
The apartment is clean,cosy and comfortable. A lot of equipment,towels,cutlery and dishes.In the basement they have a swimming pool, sauna and solarium without extra fee. The staff is very helpful. Leaving the place I left my keys, they send me them by post. Our daughter came to visit us and could stay for only 40 pounds during 4 nights! Thanks a lot to the owner!!!
Thank you for your review. We are very glad you had a great holiday in Lothian House and had time to explore the benefits of its central location!

LIMA — For 1955, Chevrolet's Bel Air model received new styling. This earned the second generation (1955 through 1957) Bel Air's the moniker of "Hot One." The '57 Chevy is one of the most recognized cars in the automobile industry. It was stylish and sporty, and there is no doubt that it is one of America's most loved cars. The Bel Air had more chrome and featured a golden grille set off with a heavy chrome bar that included parking lights. The rear fins were topped with chrome moldings and highlighted with aluminum side trim panels. The car just was for aesthetic use, though, as under the hood was Chevy's small-block V8 engine. This earned the 1957 Chevy Bel Air Motor Trend magazine's top marks for handling. The 1955-57 Chevrolet's remain a favorite with hot-rodders and classic car enthusiasts.
Glen Hayden, of Lima, brought his 1957 Chevy Bel Air to The Lima News' Real Wheels Cruise-In. His car takes spectators back to the days of poodle-skirts and sock hops.

If there's an ailment, there's an ad for a prescription drug aimed at fighting it - from toe fungus to impotence.
Prescription drug advertising has swelled to a $4.8 billion industry since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration relaxed its restrictions on the ads in 1997, allowing for descriptions of the drugs' purpose. Many doctors say the ads are coming so fast that they don't have time to learn about the benefits and risks of a new drug before patients start requesting prescriptions.
Last month, the American Medical Association asked the FDA to impose a waiting period before new drugs and devices can be marketed to consumers.
"Doctors just want to make sure they have a chance to get up to speed on new drugs before the patients are being urged to seek these medications because of heavy advertising," said Dr. Ron Davis, the association's president-elect.
The ads can disrupt the patient-doctor relationship and contribute to risinghealth-care costs when patients insist on receiving new, more expensive drugs, said Davis, who works in the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit.
The drug industry's lobby, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, is opposed to a mandatory waiting period for drug ads. The lobby has voluntary guidelines encouraging drug companies to educate doctors and submit ads to the FDA for approval.
In response to the medical association's ruling, the lobby released a statement that reads, in part:
"Direct-to-consumer advertising provides doctors and patients with accurate, educational information about disease and treatment options."
Davis acknowledged that drug advertising can raise awareness and encourage communication between doctors and patients, but added that tighter regulations are necessary.
"We hope that the FDA will step forward and show leadership in this area," Davis said. "If that doesn't happen then legislation may be needed to make it a requirement."
Dr. Melvyn Sterling, an internist who practices in Orange, attended the medical association meetings that led to the policy changes. He said people should consider the source when reading or watching drug ads.
"The reason those ads are there is to sell the drug, not to educate the public," Sterling said.
And the ads aren't just coming in magazines and television.
A local pharmaceutical company, Valeant, flies a yellow banner off its Costa Mesa building: "New Zelapar orally disintegrating tablets. Now FDA approved!" The banner doesn't mention what the drug is used for (Parkinson's disease).
Officials for Valeant did not respond to requests for comment for this story. Irvine pharmaceutical company Allergan, which markets wrinkle smoothers and dry eye treatments in magazines, also did not respond.

Annual Inspection Ensures Maximum Furnace Comfort, Efficiency
CLEVELAND, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Dominion East Ohio reminds customers that an annual furnace inspection by a qualified, reputable heating contractor can ensure that they receive maximum heating comfort and minimize costs this winter.
An annual inspection also can prevent any potential carbon monoxide problems. Along with an annual inspection, customers should change furnace filters according to the manufacturer's instructions, to generate the best possible value from their heating dollars.
While checking a furnace, the contractor should make a visual inspection of all vents, heat exchangers and motors. A thorough inspection should include:
- Lubricating the blower bearings and blower motor as recommended by the manufacturer;
- Visually inspecting all vents, the heat exchanger and filters;
- Checking the pilot light if the furnace has one;
- Clearing the furnace area of any dust or combustible materials;
- Cleaning dust from the blower compartment;
- Testing the thermostat to be sure the heating system works as it should;
- Checking the safety components on the heating equipment, such as limit controls and pilot safety; and
- Checking the flue to make sure it is clean and open. Any fuel that does not burn completely can create harmful levels of carbon monoxide. The gas can collect in a home if a fuel-burning appliance is not working or venting properly.
Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors provide a second line of defense, but they should not be used as a substitute for an annual furnace inspection. Combined with an annual inspection, however, a single CO detector, placed in the sleeping area of a home offers additional peace of mind.
Dominion East Ohio is a subsidiary of Dominion (NYSE: D), one of the nation's largest producers and transporters of energy, with a portfolio of more than 27,500 megawatts of generation. Dominion operates the nation's largest natural gas storage systems and serves retail energy customers in 12 states. For more information about Dominion, visit the company's Web site at www.dom.com.

Improving Health Care for Ethnic Minority Populations through Pre-Service Training in Viet Nam: A Systems-Based Approach
Project profile
With funding from Atlantic Philanthropies, this project improved access to high-quality, culturally appropriate health care in mountainous and underserved areas where many ethnic minorities live, and addressed equity issues for these groups. By partnering with two medical universities and five medical colleges/secondary medical schools, Pathfinder reinforced medical education with an emphasis on primary health care needs of minority populations. The project promoted ethnic minority student representation in medical education, so graduates can return and serve their underrepresented communities.
Pathfinder developed and published the Medical Anthropology Curriculum—a first for Viet Nam—which aims to sensitize students to the social and cultural determinants of health. Additionally, existing curricula were "spiked" with ethnic minority case studies. Results of a mid-term evaluation showed that the project's design and implementation are effective. After the evaluation, the project intensified its advocacy effort for policy change and improvements that promote enrollment, recruitment, and retention of ethnic minority medical students, as well as meaningful participation of ethnic minorities in the medical profession.
Pathfinder provided medical anthropology training to health personnel who provide services to ethnic minority populations. The project also supported curriculum updates and development of teaching aids, improved teaching methodologies, upgraded teaching facilities and skill labs as well as community-based practicum facilities to support healthy human development in ethnic minority areas, in collaboration with the University of Western Australia.
Students and ethnic minority students expressed their appreciated of new, dynamic teaching methodologies and learning opportunities that came about as a result of project activities. This resulted in teachers being inspired to use more interactive approaches in their classrooms. The project also motivated policymakers to review current policy framework, igniting a discussion on improving that framework to support the human resource development for health care in mountainous areas.
In November 2013, the project shared the promising results of its final evaluation at a workshop, giving training institutions, project partners, and stakeholders at national and subnational levels the opportunity to discuss and develop plans to sustain project results in the future.
notable achivements
- More than 20,000 medical students and 1,000 teachers benefited from project teachings in seven different medical training institutions

NOAA's Vision
To move NOAA into the 21st century scientifically and operationally, in the same inter-related manner as the environment that we observe and forecast while recognizing the link between our global economy and our planet's environment.
NOAA' s Mission
To understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social, and environmental needs.
NOAA's Mission Goals
SOURCE: Excerpted from "New Priorities for the 21st Century, NOAA's Strategic Plan for FY 2003–FY 2008 and Beyond," available at http://www.spo.noaa.gov/pdfs/FinalMarch31st.pdf.
for satellite data to be employed to aid decision makers (or simply satisfy curiosities) is essentially limitless.
Historically, the dominant use of operational satellite data has been to serve NOAA's mandated mission of weather forecasting through the arm of the National Weather Service (NWS). Thus, the bulk of the satellite-based products generated by NOAA were designed for these NWS applications. A new trend has developed, which will continue through the next decade, in which operational satellite data are used for all types of environmental monitoring of the Earth system. These operational data are now and will continue to be packaged and delivered to provide timely and targeted information for innumerable reasons, most of which relate to some type of decision-making process. Additionally, retrospective analysis of satellite products is also growing as demands for high-precision, long-term time series of environmental variables are required. Thus, new products based on operational satellite data are finding significant utility outside the traditional weather-forecasting arena. As a consequence, the user community is expanding rapidly, and NOAA's role in fulfilling this demand for increasingly precise and up-to-date environmental information beyond weather forecasts must be addressed. The following is a sampling of uses presented here to alert the appropriate agencies to the growing demand for information that at least in part will require operational satellite data.

"I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful class. Anita was kind enough to reach out to me a couple of weeks ago with an invitation. Boy, am I glad she did! I was back and forth for days but honestly, it was the best money I have spent on myself - really on my future - in a very long time. I have been interested in learning more about fermented foods for some time. You are the first Health Coach that I have met (in this area) that is an advocate of the Weston Price Foundation. So refreshing!!! Seriously, a couple times in class I thought I was going to come out of my chair and start clapping in response to what you were saying!" - Mary Sczuka, I ACT Certified Colon Hydrotherapist, Baltimore, MD.
"I just wanted to say, Thank You! Thank you for giving me the boost of confidence that I need from time to time to believe in my own abilities when it comes to Traditional foods and health. You truly are a Gem!" - T.H., Elkridge, MD.
"As always, I had a great time at Gina's "REAL Food Probiotics & Ferments 101" class! This is the third class I have taken with her and I have learned so much about real food and nutrition. She really has inspired me (and my family) to completely change our eating lifestyle and I love it:). I always leave class with new information and a LOT of motivation. Thanks again Gina!" - J.B., Laurel, MD.
"Gina's guided tour of MOM's (a local health food store) is one of the best classes I've ever taken. A couple times I noticed people not even in the class, eavesdropping. Even a lady standing on a ladder stocking shelves stopped me to ask who this teacher is and how she could get in touch with her. If you are interested in healthy nutritional advice, Gina could be your best resource as she has done a lot of research into which companies provide the best products. She's a natural teacher, willing and eager to answer questions. She has a great philosophy of "good, better, best" which is helpful to prevent you from getting overwhelmed. This class could fit in easily as the first class you've ever taken with Gina, OR like me, it was a great class after I've taken several of Gina's other classes." -K.B., Columbia, MD
"I have taken several of Gina's classes, one I even took twice because it was so interesting and the information so new to me. They've all been delightful, informative, interesting, and thorough. She answers questions, gives handouts, and follows up with emails. If you are at all inspired to learn about healthy cooking/eating you will love her classes!" - K.B., Columbia, MD
"Attended the Fermenting Fundamentals workshop- it was really informative and fun! I highly recommend it! Gina Rieg is a wealth of knowledge" – K.M., Ellicott City, MD
"Very useful information that can be put into practice immediately. The information about products and resource information (where to purchase or order) was also very helpful. The level of information and length of presentation were just right. The healthy sweet treats (and the recipe) were a thoughtful bonus." – Anonymous from "Sugar Blues" (now called "Sweet Talk for Your Sweet Tooth") workshop.
"I recently attended a fermenting workshop led by Gina Rieg of Simplistic Wholistic. It was fun, informative, and empowering! Gina showed the group how easy it is to get started fermenting foods and explained why they're so important for your health. The tasting at the end of the demo was definitely a highlight as well! I couldn't wait to get started fermenting and have already made a recipe I learned in the workshop. Very highly recommended! Thanks Gina!" – H.D., Elkridge, MD
"Thanks, Gina! Want to thank you for a fantastic workshop! This is the best workshop I have ever attended. It is great to be able to walk out the door with the recipes to get started. So, I picked up some supplies on my way home and just made my first jars of fermented food. Made the pickles and the ginger ale for starters and plan on doing the mayo later today. I will take pictures and give you an update in a few days. Can't wait to try my own homemade fermented pickles!" - A.W., Arnold, MD
"I really enjoyed the class and thought you did a wonderful job of explaining and demonstrating everything at just the right pace, especially for someone new to this process, like me. You also answered everyone's questions so well and the class flowed so nicely. I've read about how good fermented foods can be for you so I can't wait to try this out and will be getting some jars soon!! Thanks again Gina!" - M.W., Falls Church, VA

MISSION VIEJO – Robert Sickles wasn't looking for a fight, his family says.
He was trying to protect his little brother.
The 27-year-old Air Force veteran and Mission Viejo resident was stabbed to death just before 2 a.m. Saturday outside a Costa Mesa hotel after a New Year's Eve party attended by thousands.
As police continue to investigate the killing, Sickles' grief-consumed relatives struggle to comprehend how a verbal confrontation could lead to such loss and heartache.
They struggle to understand how Robert – so smart, they say, and such a sweet, funny, loving, responsible and charming guy – could die so senselessly.
The Orange County District Attorney's Office filed charges Tuesday against the man accused of being Sickles' attacker, 23-year-old Adam Randy Baker of Dana Point.
If convicted of killing Sickles and stabbing one of Sickles' friends who intervened in the fight, Baker could be sentenced to a maximum 23 years to life in state prison, prosecutors say.
Robert Sickles wasn't prone to fights, his parents said Monday. He rarely drank, they said. He didn't own any weapons.
So when Costa Mesa detectives came knocking on their front door at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, telling them their son had been fatally stabbed in the chest outside the Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa, the news was incomprehensible.
Monday, his death still seemed unreal.
"He died trying to be a peacemaker," said Jim Sickles, 49, Robert's father, as he clutched the hand of his wife, Robin, in a living room filled with sobbing relatives.
Baker appears to have no serious criminal record in Orange County other than several driving violations dating back to 2003, as well as charges of being a minor in possession of alcohol and for possessing less than 1 ounce of marijuana – charges that were dismissed, according to court records.
Baker now faces charges of one felony count of murder and one felony count of attempted murder, plus a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a deadly weapon, the DA's office said.
He remains in the hospital recovering from injuries and his arraignment has yet to be scheduled. When it happens, the DA's office says it will be requesting $1 million bail.

I've seen others' and my own classifieds get targeted by potential buyers living outside of the US. It's especially suspicious when their accounts are made solely for the purpose of contacting the seller through PM.
Can someone help confirm the tell-tale signs of these scammers? Or confirm that they are in fact scammers? Am I being paranoid?
A potential buyer in Norway has contacted me, showing interest in purchasing my headphones and reimbursing the international shipping fee, which is not cheap. The fact that he is willing to pay close to what a new pair would cost for my used ones boggles me, but of course I don't know about the availability of these headphones in Norway and their cost. Maybe this is worth it for him.
He is also requesting that I send the shipment with a declared value below $160, "to avoid the 25% customs fee in Norway." He wants it to be sent by "a private person" as well, whatever that means.
Is there any way I can get scammed from this, and has anyone else had this experience before?

Movie Promises Another Dimension
What promises to be a multidimensional film will blockbuster its way to theaters on Friday.
The new "Monsters vs. Aliens" movie is built around new technology which means the film will bring depth to an epic outer space battle.
"We can dial in the (3-D) to a degree that was unthinkable even 10 years ago," said the stereoscopic supervisor at DreamWorks, who legally changed his name 12 years ago to Phil Captain 3D McNally.
"What I'm hoping people will see in 'Monsters vs. Aliens' for the first time is stereoscopic filmmaking that feels completely integrated into the flow of the story."
The film was created beginning to end in entirely three dimensions, which differs from the old approach of most 3-D movies, which are conceived and shot in two dimensions and later rendered.
Producer Lisa Stewart described the story as "an homage to the 1950s and '60s monster horror movies where 3-D really first came into the fore."
Stewart said the characters, concepts, and landscapes lent themselves to three-dimensional exploration, but was worried about the outcome.
"There was an initial fear that it was going to be a gimmick like it was in the '50s, where we're suddenly going to be asked to throw a bunch of stuff out through the screen," Stewart said. "But that was not at all what he wanted to do. … It was about how can we use this (technology) to tell the story that we're already telling, how can we use it to our advantage."
She said the on screen magic and problems popped up when they started shooting.
"There was a lot of trial and error at first," Stewart said. "And there were a lot of preconceived rules of what you could and could not do in 3-D."
For example, some worried quick edits and cuts during action scenes would cause eye strain.
"In real life, there's no such thing as a cut," noted Captain 3D.
Instead, his team created a tool that digitally blends depth, so "you get the feeling of a fast cut with the comfort of a slow dissolve," he said.
The team also created virtual cameras which created realistic action shots that make scenes feel like a real camera, not a computer.
McNally said movie goers were interested in 3-D pictures since the '50s but the technology couldn't keep up the format.
He said older 3-D films relied on two projectors playing at the same time. One showed a left-eye image and the other a right-eye image, mimicking the brain's perception of depth through the merging of these separate images.
The problems arose if the timing or alignment of either projector was off.
Moviegoers would often end up with a blurry picture, eye strain, and headaches.
Digital projectors fixed that by projecting sequential images for the right eye and left eye so fast that they appear to be simultaneous.
"It literally projects left eye and right eye three times per movie frame," McNally said, adding that the projectors also allow for "perfect synchronization and perfect alignment" – no more shaky pictures.
Studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg is promising that all future DreamWorks Animation releases would be in 3-D, beginning with "Monsters vs. Aliens."
Ticket sales for 3-D movies typically cost a few dollars more, but could end up boosting box-office profits.
