Culla Belly Co-Sleeper at Elm Baby
The Culla Belly Co-Sleeper has been a popular search on BuyModernBaby ever since I first posted about it in 2011. The transition from design to final product has been a challenge, and I had already given up on ever seeing these available until our newest advertiser, Elm Baby, contacted me and let me know that they now carry the Culla Belly Co-Sleeper in their online boutique. They have a personal relationship with the designers and distribute it directly from them.
Designed by Andrea Garuti and Manuela Busetti, one side of the bassinet unzips to open up onto the parents' bed. The wooden base is secured under the mattress of the bed. The final design doesn't have all the style of the initial concept, but this is frequently what happens in the transition from idea to reality.
The co-sleeper is available in seven colors: red, blue, green, orange, light blue, cream, and pink.
The Culla Belly retails for $600 and the stand is an additional $290.
I haven't seen these in person, so I can't tell you too much about them, but if you've been desperate for a more modern co-sleeper, this is what you've been waiting for. If you've gotten a look at a Culla Belly Co-Sleeper or if you own one, please comment and let us know your thoughts!
I bought one of these Culla Belly Co-Sleepers from (www.elmbaby.com) and they are amazing!!!!! I love!! I can never imagine life without it now. Plus the Customer Service at ELMBaby.com was wonderful and comforting

Will call again
Just picked up my bike not too long ago and am still in the break-in period (love it, so much more aggressive than my GS). Since I am a research guy, I called yesterday concerning the air filter to ask for an update on the situation (KTM US) and was told there was none. The tone of the call was not what I was expecting. After reading the thread, I understand why. Now that I know the Uni voids the warranty, I will call again and make another pitch, as mine is in the mail and planning to be installed next week. At this price range, you should not have to wait for a problem that you know will happen to get a fix (only to really fix it after the warranty expires and other damage done, let alone a lack of confidence in a new vehicle). Does anyone have an email address for KTM US as opposed to a phone number and address? Despite this, safe and happy riding to all.

"Many recipients told us this was the most beautiful card they received this season. We selected a green background, which complemented our many outdoor images, as well as the Christmas design. Paper quality was heavy and not too glossy, and image resolution was crisp. The layout shown on screen exactly matched the final product. Pearlescent envelopes made the right first impression. Order was delivered one day before promised. Excellent experience ordering from tinyprints."
"I love my cards they turned out great!! The only thing I would have changed would have been the colors I didn't edit my pictures before sending them to print, I think the color was not as sharp as I would have wanted them to be but besides that they turned out perfect!!"
"This was my favorite Christmas Card yet! We got married in May so it was a great way to share some wedding pics on our Christmas card!"
"I didn't realize how many photos you get to put in front AND back until i started creating it. The back should be shown better b/c this is the perfect card to showcase LOTS of photos."
"This has WOW factor. It impressed all our friends and family. There was plenty of photo space that allowed the recipient to actually SEE the people! Loved that it was heavy duty card stock, the website was easy to use and made my job of designing a breeze. I looked like a professional when I was done. Highly recommend!"

#TiVo Premiere customers who love #Netflix – today is a good day to get on the list for the next update: http://t.co/MV97tjMdAF
— TiVo Margret Schmidt (@tivodesign) December 9, 2013
We were quite surprised when the big, Fall Update hit TiVo Premiere units without without an updated Netflix app… as we had solid intel indicating a HTML5 redesign was underway. We suppose Netflix's broader TV UI refresh and technical issues may have something to do with the delay. But, given TiVo VP Margret Schmidt's tweet (shown above), it looks like we're mere days or weeks away from software version 20.3.8 that includes a Netflix app on par with the experience currently available on TiVo Roamio and Mini hardware. In addition to DIAL capabilities and a quicker, modernized interface, we're also hoping this iteration of Netflix doesn't lock up and/or crash the app or DVR as the current one does. Guess we'll find out shortly!
(Thanks Dan!)

Topol called the Prasugrel results "incremental efficacy" and said the trial only suggests the drug should be used in a "narrow group of patients." Topol was the heart specialist invited to comment on the study.
"Overall, the number of cardiac events averted was larger than bleeding events caused by Prasugrel," said Harlan Krumholz, professor of medicine, epidemiology and public health at Yale University. "But the clinical decision can be improved by tailoring it to the patient's risk profile for cardiac events and bleeding."
Bhatt specifies in his editorial the subgroups of patients who received no clinical benefit from Prasugrel — specifically, patients older than 75, those who are underweight, those with cerebrovascular disease and those with a history of stroke. Moreover, because Prasugrel increases risk of heavy or even fatal bleeding, patients who are expected to receive major heart surgery, such as coronary artery bypass graft surgery, should not consider this potent drug thinner as a treatment option.
Because the trial was successful in determining subgroups of patients who would receive no clinical benefit from Prasugrel, many doctors and surgeons believe that if prescribed responsibly — that is, taking into account each patient's specific risk factors — Prasugrel has the potential to become a positive addition to the current standard of treatment for heart attack patients.
"If the protocol of the study is followed and the patient does not receive [Prasugrel] until the angiography is done, and … complex or higher risk anatomy is avoided, then the risk of needing emergency surgery and severe hemorrhage is very low and acceptable," said Nicholas Smedira, surgical director of the Kaufman Center for Heart Failure.
More importantly, many physicians stress the need for public education on the topic of which patients will and which will not benefit from the use of Prasugrel.
"If CABG [coronary artery bypass graft] is needed and you are on this drug, it will be a problem," said Thoralf Sundt, professor of cardiovascular surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "It is important for the public to understand this as these drugs get pushed onto the masses with direct marketing."

There are strapless bras that support the breast without the use of a shoulder strap. Sports bras contain the breast restricting movement during physical activities. They are constructed to support a healthy lifestyle. The modern bra has evolved from the design of the corset which only sought to push the breasts upward offering little comfort. The widespread use of the bra began shortly after World War II. Today we still have retain a little of the past offering the push up bra. This style is well sought after for the sexy look and cleavage enhancement.
Bras are now a multi-billion dollar industry and the focus has slowly shifted from function to support and fashion. There are many parts to make up a bra.

GREEN BAY, WI - DECEMBER 7: Donald Driver #80 of the Green Bay Packers runs for yards after the catch against the Baltimore Ravens at Lambeau Field on December 7, 2009 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
The day after the Green Bay Packers' season ended following a home playoff loss to the eventual-Super Bowl champion New York Giants, Donald Driver stood at his locker packing away all of his personal belongings for the offseason. Judging by the way he spoke at the time, it sounded like the 13-year veteran and career Packer was clearing out his locker for the final time and had played his final snaps in a Green Bay uniform.A month later, Driver's tone seems to have changed."The organization knows what I've done on and off the field, and they want to keep me around as long as possible," Driver told WISN-TV at a Boy Scouts Leadership Breakfast on Friday. "If that means sitting down and taking pay cuts to stay around, then you take pay cuts to stay around. I've always said it's not about the money for me anymore."What I'm pushing for is for my legacy to stay around in the state of Wisconsin and around the world forever. So the money's not a big issue."Driver, a three-time Pro Bowl selec...

Below is the poem entitled I'd Walk The Naked Miles which was written by poet
Foster. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Adell Foster
What twist of fate has befallen us?
When nighthawks no longer soar by day --
Ritualistic measures of time usurps moonlight
Where then shall I see upon my love's face ~
A smile that would light the ancient Nile
Oh to feel the warmth of his sweet embrace
Dusk be not in such foul temperament..
Let pace of dawn be slow to arise
As it steals the warmth of our embrace
Oh twilight stars of night twinkle, now
As, the nighthawk, pleasures ebony soul
For that simple delight, I'd walk the naked miles…
Saddened is this heart when we must part
Let the setting of the sun come soon
Then we shall soar once more 'neath lover's moon
The watchman comes nigh, careful now
we must depart this gentleness – Remember,
For that simple pleasure, I'd walk the naked miles…

A biosensor includes an optically dense body provided with a coating sensitized to a specific assay species, and an input and output coupling structure. Light signal response is enhanced by incorporating a partially reflecting, partially transmitting medium between the coupling structure and the optically dense body having a lower refractive index. The thickness of such medium is chosen so that light may be coupled by frustrated total internal reflection and to enable the medium to serve as a resonant mirror.
1. A biosensor comprising: an optically dense body having a coating sensitized for a given assay species, light coupling means positioned in operative adjacent relation to the optically dense body for directing light into and out of the same, and means operatively associated with the light coupling means for esablishing a mirrored resonant cavity within the optically dense body by frustrated total internal reflection, including a light reflecting and partially transmissive medium operatively interposed between the optically dense body and the light coupling means.
2. The biosensor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light reflecting and partially transmissive medium comprises a single layer of material of a thickness establishing light coupling by frustrated total internal reflection, said material having a refractive index lower than that of the optically dense body.
3. The biosensor as claimed in claim 2, wherein the single of material layer is magnesium fluoride.
4. The biosensor as claimed in claim 2, wherein the single layer of material is alumina.
5. The biosensor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light reflecting and partially transmissive medium comprises a dielectric multilayer structure.
6. A monitoring system comprising a light source, a photodetector, a biosensor comprising: an optically dense body having a coating sensitized for a given assay species, light coupling means operatively positioned adjacent to the optically dense body for directing light into and out of the same and means operatively associated with the light coupling means for esablishing a mirrored resonant cavity within the optically dense body by frustrated total internal reflection, including a light reflecting and partially transmissive medium operatively interposed between the optically dense body and the light coupling means, said light source and the photodetector being positioned relative to the biosensor in optically coupled resonance relation to each other.
1. Field Of The Invention
The present invention concerns biosensers, i.e. sensors for detecting and/or monitoring or quantifying the presence and/or behavior of specific species in test fluid samples. The invention is applicable to the following: immunoassays, i.e.; the detection of antibodies, antigens, or hormones in blood samples; pollution monitoring; and, to the monitoring of clinical diagnostic reactions involving enzymes and the like.
2. Description of Related Art
A recent article entitled "Detection of Antibody--Antigen Reactions at a glass-liquid Interface as a Novel Optical Immunoassay Concept", (1984), R. M. Sutherland et al (Proceedings of 2nd Optical Fibre Conference (Stuttgart 1984) page 75) describes a biosensor in which an antibody species is covalently immobilized onto the surface of a planar or fibre-optic waveguide. The reaction of immobilized antibody with antigen in a sample solution is detected using the evanescent wave component of a light beam which has been totally internally reflected many times within the waveguide. The evanescent wave has a characteristic penetration depth of a fraction of a wavelength into the aqueous phase, thus optically interacting with substances bound to or very close to the interface and only minimally with the bulk solution.
Reference is also made to our United Kingdom Patent Application BG 2156970A published Oct. 16, 1985, which discloses optic-waveguide biosensors and a similar technique. The content of that disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention is intended to enhance biosensor response for a given beam power.
In accordance with the invention there is provided a biosensor comprising:
an aplically dense body having a coating sensitized for a given assay species; and Light coupling means adjacent to the optically dense body, to direct light into and out of the same; wherein a light reflecting and partially transmissive medium is interposed between the aplically dense body and the light coupling means, so that the coating, the optically dense body, and the light reflecting and partially transmitting medium together provide a mirrored resonant cavity.
In the above defined construction the combination of coating, body, and reflecting medium have the propertis of a mirrored resonant cavity. The power of radiation within this cavity is thus enhanced relative to the power of the input beam and the power of the interactive evanescent wave extending into the sensitive coating is likewise enhanced, thereby improving device sensitivity to species absorbed by the coating.
The reflecting partially transmissive medium may be realized by a thin single layer of relatively low refractive index transparent material. Alternatively, it may be realized by a dielectric multilayer structure.
In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is an illustrative cross-section view of a known biosensor;
FIG. 2 is an illustrative cross-section view of a biosensor modified in accordance with this invention; and
FIG. 3 illustrates schematic refractive index profiles for a modified biosensor incorporating
(a) a single layer reflector; and
(b) a multi-layer structure reflector, respectively.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the drawings accompanying this specification.
In FIG. 1 there is shown a known biosensor in which light from a source S is directed into a planar waveguide 1 by means of a first coupling prism 3 and propagated by multiple total internal reflection to exit by means of a second coupling prism 5 where it is directed onto a light detector D. The external surface of the waveguide 1 is provided with a sensitized organic is coating 7. The latter coating exposed to a sample liquid 9 which is contained by means of a flow cell 11 and gasket 13 arrangement. In the coating 7, antibody material is covalently immobilized and this responds to any specific antigen material in the sample liquid to which it is exposed. The waveguide is of fused quartz material and this provides a large differential in optical density between the quartz waveguide 1 (high refractive index n1) and the adjacent coating 7 (low refractive index n2). Light is totally internally reflected within the body of the waveguide 1, with a portion of the optical power, propagating as an evanescent wave in the coating medium 7. The binding of antigen by the immobilized antibody is monitored by a resultant increase in the light absorption measured at the detector D.
In the inventive modification shown FIG. 2, a partially transmissive light reflecting layer 15 of relatively low refractive index material--for example an evaporated or sputtered layer of magnesium fluoride-is interposed between the coupling prisms 3, 5 and the planar waveguide 1. This construction may be used in conjunction with an infra-red light injection laser as light source S--typical light wavelength 0.8μ. Similar apparatus may be used for visible light and for ultra-violet light, but in the latter case a layer 15 of alumina or similar material would be used--typical light wavelength 270 nm. Light is coupled to the waveguide 1 by frustrated total internal reflection, and the thickness of the interposed layer 15 is chosen accordingly. The refractive index profile for this assembly of media--coating 7, waveguide 1, reflector 15 and coupling member 3--is shown FIG. 3(a). As can be seen, the waveguide 1 is isolated by media 7, 15 of lower refractive index. Incident light coupled to the waveguide is thus resonantly trapped between the reflecting layer 15 (highly reflecting but partially transmitting) and the coating/ waveguide interface 7/1. The power level is high in this region. The light subsequently leaks back into the bulk medium, the second coupling member 5, after which it is monitored by the photodetector D. The evanescent wave in the coating 7 will interact with any adsorbed species in this layer 7 and in turn will modify the absorption and phase shift of the light beam monitored. The latter is enhanced by this resonant effect.
As an alternative modification, the single interposed layer 15 of the assembly shown in FIG. 2 may be replaced by a dielectric multilayer structure 15. Such dielectric multilayer structures are per se well known to persons of oridinary skill in the art and thoroughly understood as to function and use so that the details thereof form no part of the present invention. A typical index profile for this modified assembly is shown in FIG. 3(b). This further modification has the advantage of allowing a relaxation in coupling constraints. As an example, a multilayer structure providing 90% reflection and 10% transmission provides a factor x10 enhancement of power within the resonant cavity.
The present of assay species may be detected and/or monitored by measuring changes in the absorbtion or polarazation of the monitored light beam. The interaction will depend on the frequency and angle of incidence of the light beam. Thus source S and detector D may be singular components mechanically scanned over a range of angles, or may each comprise an extended array, each component being electronically addressed to simulate a scan. Alternatively, the source S and detector D may be set up in an optimal static configuration.

Mead's band, the Homestead Grays, brought the roots-rock to Larryville in the late '80s, before he bolted to Nashville and formed BR549. That group was too damn country even for Nashville, but they filled up enough tip jars to become darlings of the old-timey revival that was sweeping the No Depression nation. Now that the 549 crew is on hiatus, Mead is readying a solo debut that he promises will stretch the boundaries of the hillbilly and honky-tonk sounds he's known for. He's likely to connect with a host of old friends and music partners during his New Year's Eve soirée in his old stamping grounds.

Boat Anchor after 5 meets
from Southeast, US
on 6/16/2012
For any of you parents out there considering purchasing one of these high-priced technical suits, you need to be aware that per my experience and the Swimoutlet.com customer service reps, these suits only last 5-10 times. Then, since they will have more drag than a parachute, you will have yourself a high-priced boat anchor. Fair warning.

its a competition day swimsuit!
from Palm Springs, CA
on 6/5/2014
this suit is intended to be use for competition day only, not training. Its design to last for no more than 9 times. Keep that in mind. I didn't know until I got it and sadly it was a final sale
Not that great
Emma M.

Had to purchase this suit for a travel team meet, it was definitely not as good as the speedo lzr elite. Although the fit was okay, it filled up with water when I was swimming. One of the girls on my team had it rip after just one race. I don't recommend this suit.
Poor Quality
Tracey W.
from Holland, MI
on 3/14/2014
My daughter wore this suit once had issues with the stitching unraveling as others have said. Swim Outlet worked with us to get a replacement since it was a good fit. The new suit, after one swim, again unraveled. This time, it was so bad we had to purchase another suit at the meet. With two suits having the exact same issue, I think the quality is very poor. Even on clearance, I would not suggest buying this suit.
The unraveling suit
from La Quinta, CA
on 1/23/2014
I ordered this 2 times and in just hours, the suit started to unravel during competition at the seams. Nice feel, but not suitable for competition as it unravels quickly, within hours. Embarrassing too.
A little disappointed :(

My daughter wore this suit one time. The stitching around the neck became loose and the seam un-raveled. We are not sure if that was just a coincidence or something that is frequent with this suit. Her friend also had the same suit and the stitching around the leg was loose as well. Swim Outlet was very professional and allowed us to exchange it for a different brand. For the price of technical suits, I would consider something different than this one.
Great for masters

Runs a little large so size down. It is a great fit for a more mature body type. Love that the leg openings are forgiving and not binding like other suits.

Just wore this suit at our conference meet and it felt great. Arena suits tend to be too narrow for me in the thighs and fanny and this suit is great for swimmers who have thighs.
I like it.

The suit fits overall, however there is a band that fits above the knee opening that hurts.
Great feel in the water
nc swimmer

on 9/22/2012
This is my first tech suit, and it is hard to get into, but that seems to be true for all of them. Felt great once it was on and I was in the water!
Not sturdy-ripped first day
from Sandy, OR
on 3/15/2012
We ordered this suit for conference championships and it ripped along the seam on the first day. Swim outlet was great and sent another one which worked just fine for Nationals. Customer service was great. I would suggest having a back up and only using swim outlet if you buy this suit.
Suit failed after one heat
George the Seagull
from Irvine, CA
on 8/18/2011
Bought this tech suit for Juniors at Palo Alto as a replacement for the newest Hydra HD3 which was like a parachute at the bottom. The fit of the Swift II was much better for my body shape and seemed to be a good choice. Unfortunately the shoulder strap frayed after one heat and was close to ripping completely. This is not something you want to happen at an important meet, and as such I recommend against purchasing the Swift II.For what it's worth, I was able to replace the suit at the meet with a LZR Elite and was completely satisfied (got me my first Trial cut!). Sorry Nike--team sponsor--it was an emergency and you know, this failure and other issues we have had with Nike equipment (like being able to buy a tech suit at SwimOutlet.com for less than the "exrtreme discount" offered by Nike for Junior-level swimmers) I would encourage my club to re-visit it's sponsorship selection.

Not Good Quality
from Michigan
on 7/25/2011
I order the suit on a rush delivery due to the state meet I qualified for. I didn't really know what suit was best, so I ordered one of the cheaper ones, thinking that it would be the same quality. I ordered the size i usually wear for a race suit, a 26. I tried it on and fit fine. The first day the suit was great, very tricky to get on when wet though. The second day, the suit ripped at the seam. The next day, it ripped again, not at the seem but across the torso. I don't know if this is because of sizing problems, but the material was very thin and very likely to rip.

Awesome Suit!
from Vermont
on 2/13/2011
This is a great suit! I wore it at a meet this weekend, and I dropped a ton of time! I dropped 3 seconds in my 200 free, 1 second in my 50 free, 58 seconds in my 1000 free, 2 seconds in my 400im, and 4 seconds in my 200im. I came in 1st place in my 1000, 200, and 50 frees, along with my 200im. This suit feels so good. Get a size down from your normal practice size. You feel so fast in it. Be careful putting it on, and remember, it's supposed to feel tight.
Awesome So Far!
from Vermont, USA
on 2/8/2011
I received this suit in the mail the other day, and I tried it on. It fit great! I wouldn't recommend this suit to people with wider waists or bigger chests. Since it's bonded, not sewn, its trickier to get on, especially over the feet and calves. I But once it's on right above your knee, it's perfect! I normally wear a size 30 practice suit, so I ordered this in a size 28. Be super careful getting it on---allow yourself at least 5-10 minutes to get in it without rushing. It's a great price and feels great. I will post another comment after I wear it in a meet.

Pattern Organization by Nanfanc4153
Make a copy of the front and back of each pattern. Back to back if possible. Make a notebook with tabs for dresses, jackets, pants, etc. Store the copies in numerical order and store the patterns in boxes in numerical order. Eventually you won't have to buy patterns because yours are organized. Always make a copy of every new pattern that you purchase and insert it in your notebook and the pattern stored in numerical order. I now have four notebooks with pictures of my patterns and many boxes of patterns. Easy to find....in numerical order.

This circa-1940s diner sits right on U.S. Historic Route 66, and is favored by locals for its generous portions and old-fashioned home cooking. Try the biscuits and gravy, chicken-fried steak, or the famous Trucker's Sandwich, stuffed with roast beef, bacon, chilies, and cheese. The Brian Burger also elicits consistent praise.

Emma Jean's is a through back to the old roadside diners that followed Route 66 from California to Illinois. By the looks of it, it hasn't changed much over the years. With seating for only about two dozen, a short wait can be common, especially around lunchtime. Open for breakfast and lunch only, Mon-Sat. The servers are a real kick, so be careful what you say, they don't miss a trick! The ½ lb. burgers and patty melts are a staple, but
I think you'll find everything they offer to your liking. They have great cobblers too. On my last stop I had a Brian Burger and was eying a peach cobbler, but by the time I finished the burger, there was no way I could even split a cobbler. Next time I'll start w/ the cobbler!
No Thanks

Nvidia Kernel-Module ??
I'm running Redhat 8.0 with the 1.4-4496 driver it was working perfectly.
I have just upgrade the kernel using via rpm to 188.8.131.52-8. Now when
I try and startX it bombs, i get error complaining about the nvida module
was complied with the 2.4.18 kernel.
Do I have to uninstall the driver and reinstall / compile it with the new
kernel, I hope not. These thing are so simply when you know how.
Thanks In advance.

Speaking of the ban, yep, I love it. I got tired of going out to a few places on a Saturday night, breathing in a fog of smoke for three hours, then coughing up something nasty the next morning.
By the way, there are still watering holes that just ignore the ban and allow people to smoke. Plenty of them around still, in fact.

I don't see that Ohio's law is any more restrictive than other states who have banned smoking nor have I seen a state change its mind after seeing its effect on bowling alleys and small restaurants. The trend is toward banning it in all public places and I don't see that trend changing.
It's still a little odd going to one of those smoking places as the non-smoker - I guess I never had to get used to not smoking in a smoking environment because of the timliness of when I quit.
But, in the end, we still went to those smoke-filled bars on Saturday nights before the ban existed. The market forces were never strong enough to incentivize business owners to willingly make a switch to smoke-free environs.
That tells me it wasn't an issue most people felt passionately about one way or the other -- in those kinds of cases, I dislike the government legislating behavior.

Just seems to me grown adults can make choices for themselves and deal with situations on their own, not use legislation and bans to get what they aren't able to do for themselves.

I don't see why it can't be legislated that places must provide smoking and non-smoking areas AND that they employ high quality smoke removers. I remember being in Vegas a long time ago and being absolutely amazed that there were so many people smoking yet so little second hand smoke. And as a person highly sensitive to smoke, I can attest that those things were sucking the smoke out of the air like nobody's business.
If a restaurant doesn't want to pay for the equipment (better yet, let's get RJ Reynolds to buy it) then they can just be a non-smoking establishment.
Places like ballparks should be non-smoking because it's not like I can choose to go to a particular Reds ballpark. Yet, I would still say they need places to let people go to smoke. CC TV is optional.
Lastly, I resent smoking myself. Those who do it are driving up the cost of my health insurance. Please stop it. Nothing against you personally- I just think it's a terrible, terrible thing to be doing to yourself.

A common sense law should have been written that protected the rights of both smokers and non-smokers (protecting them from exposure to second hand smoke). Why couldn't an establishment, place of business, or employer, if they so chosed, have a fully enclosed smoking room, with ventilation, separate from the non-smoking areas, that protected those non-smokers from exposure?
That was supposedly the intent behind this law... protecting the non-smoker from exposure to second hand smoke.
And that's what really burned me about this law. We had such facilities here at Honda. The non-smoker was completely shielded from second hand smoke. The new law didn't give allowance for that, so they had to be shut down.
I read numerous accounts here in Ohio where restaraunts and bars, long before the ban, spent large sums of money creating those situations that accomodated both while also protecting the non-smoker.
They had to be shut down according to the new law.
Simply ridiculous logic IMO.
As long as the non-smoker is shielded, that is all that should have mattered. And this Ohio law really doesn't totally accomplish this since it only covers smoking inside establishments, and doesn't cover outside locations.

"panic" only comes from having real expectations
On the other hand, by so doing the company is also (in my opinion) providing approval for this unhealthy activity. If those smokers are on the company health plan, thereby increasing the risk to the pool of covered employees, they should have to pay a smoking surcharge. It could be an increase on their premium, or they could just have to pay a fee every time they choose to use the room for smoking.
Smoking is a choice, or at least it is the first few times most people do it. Nevertheless, the choice is made and I support the right to choose. However, that choice does not come without it's price, both to the smoker and those around them. There is the direct cost of second hand smoke, which I agree can be controlled. However, the indirect costs must also be taken into account. There are higher health risks for that employee, which is borne out in higher health insurance premiums for their coworkers, smokers or not. There is also a higher rate of absenteeism due to smoking because, overall, smokers are just not as healthy as non-smokers. The sniffles turn into bronchitis for the two pack a day, twenty five year smoker.
So, if I'm Honda, or GE, or any employer- I want a smoke free workforce, or at least one that addresses the effects of smoking against the bottom line of the company and the pocket books of their coworkers.

Holt joined Falkirk for his first commission last April following Steven Pressley's departure for Coventry City and came close to steering them to promotion in his first full season in charge.
However, bowing out by landing the Championship manager of the month award for April, the former Kilmarnock midfielder has opted to return to Carrow Road, where he was a player for four years and assistant academy manager for three years before moving north last year.
Names already being linked with the Falkirk post include Gary Locke, who was recently sacked by Hearts, Inverness assistant Russell Latapy, Dumbarton manager Ian Murray and Greig McDonald of Stirling Albion.
Falkirk gave Holt permission to speak to his old club at the weekend and the former Scotland midfielder agreed a deal to return to the relegated Norfolk outfit as first-team coach yesterday.
Falkirk initially announced Holt's exit in early afternoon in a statement that detailed the 'very tight' timescales for applications for the post and the board's desire to appoint a new manager in time for the start of pre-season training on June 26.
The communication also quoted chairman Martin Ritchie as saying: "The club fully understands Gary's wishes to return with his family to Norwich. We would like to wish him every success in the future and to thank him for all his work at Falkirk over the last year."
They then retracted that statement following an apparent difference of opinion internally over its timing, and issued an "apology" as they awaited a "formal agreement", which duly came shortly after 5pm, when they reposted the bulletins on their website.

Product description
Are you looking to enrich a healthy relationship, revitalize a tired one, or rescue one gone awry? We all want a lifetime of love, support, and companionship. But sometimes we need a little help. Enter Dr. Sue Johnson, developer of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and ?the best couple therapist in the world, ? according to bestselling relationship expert Dr. John Gottman. In Hold Me Tight, Dr. Johnson shares her groundbreaking and remarkably successful program for creating stronger, more secure relationships. The message of Hold Me Tight is simple: Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, making grand romantic gestures, or experimenting with new sexual positions. Instead, get to the emotional underpinnings of your relationship by recognizing that you are emotionally attached to and dependent on your partner in much the same way that a child is on a parent for nurturing, soothing, and protection. Dr. Johnson teaches that the way to enhance or save a relationship is to be open, attuned, and responsive to each other and to reestablish emotional connection. With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship - from Recognizing the Demon Dialogues to Forgiving Injuries - and uses them as touch points for seven healing conversations. These conversations give you insight into the defining moments in your relationship and guide you in reshaping these moments to create a secure and lasting bond.

"Perfect invite for us, colours and layout were updated and amended as per all our requests. We are delighted with these invites."
"I changed the colors to the purple option and it looked so good! I also took away the menu options at the bottom and asked for lines for guests to write out exactly who was attending for seating chart purposes. The artist got our proof back very quickly for review and I had something changed after the initial proof and I had a new proof with the changes in the inbox within 2 hours. It is incredible to have such great service!"
"When I needed an extra line added for dietary restrictions after receiving my proof, they were very accommodating. They didn't hesitate. And I also revceived an updated proof within the week. I would highly recommend this card and this company. I have not been disappointed."
"I was really nervous about this card in particular because we're not having a traditional sit down dinner. Additionally, I wanted to have the designer pick a different attending/not attending option to reflect if my guests were getting a guest or not. They did a really great job at making this card work for me! People that have seen this also really thought the chicken was super cute so that's fun."
"These response cards were the perfect complement to the invitations. I like the personalization with our initials on front and back. I'm very pleased that the designer was able to add a fourth entree choice to the front of the card, and all the text fit in without being too small to read. I like the fonts used on the card; they're simple and classy without looking too casual or over the top. Looks great overall!"

AboutOne of the most powerful and urgent voices to emerge from the Middle East in the last decade, Wael Shawky explores systems of belief and reinterprets faith, myth and history through the lens of the modern media. At Lisson Gallery, Shawky presents a new work, Dictums: Manqia I (2014), in which herds of prize black camels are driven across the desert, perhaps en route to one of the prestigious camel parades or beauty pageants that are held in the Gulf region, known as mazaynas. Having previously worked with the indigenous cultures and traditions of nomadic Bedouin tribespeople, Shawky similarly charts patterns of physical, economic and intellectual migration in this video, shot by the artist on location near Abu Dhabi. The overarching title of his exhibition, Dictums, refers to a live performance originally produced for the Sharjah Biennial in 2013 in which Shawky assembled 30 workers of primarily Pakistani origin, to clap and chant through a recital by two professional musicians or qawwals, trained in signing traditional Sufi ballads. The words to their song were culled from a curatorial statement of the biennial and translated into Urdu, creating a hypnotic, harmonic, if largely indecipherable, rendition of the kind of opaque artistic language generally associated with contemporary art discourse.

A Russian court has ordered the temporary closure of three McDonald's outlets in Moscow for 90 days over breaches in sanitation. This brings the total number of the company's restaurants closed around the country to six.
The Wednesday ruling by the court has closed McDonald's restaurants in Moscow at Bolshaya Bronnaya Street, Prospect Mira Street and Manezhnaya Square, the fast-food giant says in a statementon its website. The outlets have previously been suspended by food safety watchdog Rospotrebnadzor.
As the result of spot inspections by the watchdog four McDonald's outlets are closed in Moscow and two in the cities of Stavropol and Yekaterinburg.
McDonald's said it would appeal Wednesday's rulings.
"We do not agree with the courts' decisions and will appeal them according to established procedures," McDonald's said on its website.
The decision to suspend the outlets is an extreme measure, and in this case it is clearly not justified, Maxim Titarenko, a lawyer representing the company, said.
"The violations mentioned by the Rospotrebnadzor have already been eliminated or are being eliminated," said the lawyer, adding that an appeal will be made during the day.
Russia is one of McDonald's top seven major markets outside the United States and Canada, with 438 restaurants in 75 Russian cities serving more than one million customers a day according to the company's website.
