Alzheimer's: Answers to Common Questions
In this article
8. Do the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease vary by the time of day?
Many people with the disease get confused, anxious, and agitated at dusk and into the evening hours. It's called sundown syndrome, or sundowning. The problems may last a few hours or throughout the night.
Doctors don't know exactly what causes sundowning, but they think a lot of different things play a role. Those could include physical and mental exhaustion (after a long day), and a shift in the body's internal clock that happens with the change from daylight to dark. Some people with Alzheimer's have trouble sleeping at night, which may also make confusion worse. Some medications can add to the problem, too.
Some ways for you and your loved one to handle sundowning:
- Schedule harder tasks early in the day when she's less likely to get agitated.
- Watch her diet and eating habits. Offer sweets and drinks with caffeine only in the morning hours. Serve her a late afternoon snack or early dinner.
- Offer her decaffeinated herbal tea or warm milk. They might help her relax.
- Keep the house or room well lit. Close the drapes before the sun goes down so she doesn't watch it get dark outside.
- If she falls asleep on the sofa or in a chair, let her stay there. Don't wake her to go to bed.
- Distract her with things she enjoys. Soothing music or a favorite video may help.
- Encourage her to be physically active during the day. It may help her to sleep better at night.
9. Are people in the early stages of the disease still interested in sex?
No one has studied sexuality in Alzheimer's. But many people with disease also have a mood disorder, such as depression, or other medical problem, which can lead to sexual problems. Medications that treat these conditions can also affect someone's sex life. People with dementia often feel less interested in many areas of their lives, like their appearance, clothes, and friends. That may affect their sex drive, too.
If your partner has Alzheimer's and you're concerned about their sexuality, try the following:
- Ask your loved one's doctor if she might have a mood disorder.
- Make sure she's getting treatment for any medical problems that may make her feel worse, like pain from arthritis.
- Ask her doctor how her medications might affect her sexuality.

US banks may be forced to recapitalise financial system
Published 06/05/2009
Over half of the giant banks being 'stress tested' by the US government could be required to raise additional money to recapitalise the nation's financial system, survive a long recession and boost lending that will kickstart the economy.
With the results of the tests due to be published tomorrow evening, officials are continuing their final discussions with the 19 institutions.
Several are believed to have argued the Treasury out of their original demands, but about 10 are currently still expecting to be told to raise money.
Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, one of the regulators working with the Treasury on the tests, said yesterday that repairing the banking system was vital if the early signs of economic recovery were not to be snuffed out.
Details of how the Treasury is calculating the requirement for a new 'capital cushion' for the biggest banks have not been made public, and the likely size of any fundraising is also not clear. Some institutions' needs could run into many billions of dollars.
Three of the nation's four biggest banks by assets — Citigroup, Bank of America and Wells Fargo — are on the list of institutions originally told to shore up their balance sheet, according to leaks.
Analysts also expect some regional banks to have to fill holes which may open up in their accounts if business loans and mortgages go bad in a prolonged recession.
Mr Bernanke was on Capitol Hill yesterday testifying to the joint economic committee of Congress, where he painted an optimistic picture of the US economy. While a recovery would be slow, with unemployment likely to continue to increase and then stay high for a long while, there were tentative signs of stabilisation.
"An important caveat," the Fed chairman said, "is that our forecast assumes continuing gradual repair of the financial system. A relapse in financial conditions would be a significant drag on economic activity and could cause the incipient recovery to stall."
The Obama administration launched the stress tests in February as one part of its plan to repair confidence in the banking system.
Other initiatives included public loans to private business to revitalise the securitisation market and to buy up toxic assets from distressed banks, plus relief for homeowners facing foreclosure.
The tests are designed to forecast banks' likely financial results and capital positions under a long recession, with unemployment peaking above 10% next year. Bank executives and employees have criticised the methodology, while bearish economic forecasters have said they are not tough enough and are designed to protect the biggest banks from nationalisation.
The government says that banks will have six months to raise private capital but, if they cannot, then they must take US taxpayer money. That could make the government one of the largest shareholders in the nation's largest banks.
Bank shares, however, have surged as the results of the tests draw nearer, suggesting optimism among investors that the health of the financial system may not be as dire as once predicted.
Mr Bernanke, meanwhile, defended the stress tests from Congressional criticism that banks are being given too long to appeal the capital rulings, which were revealed to them privately more than a week ago. The results had been due to be made public on Monday of this week.
"This was a very comprehensive exercise, unprecedented in its scale and scope," Mr Bernanke said.

Secretary Perez Advises Against High-Cost Stimulus Anticipation Loans
Advance loans on stimulus checks will likely come with high costs
BALTIMORE (3/13/08) Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Secretary Thomas E. Perez and Financial Regulation Commissioner Sarah Bloom Raskin reminded Marylanders to beware of high-cost anticipation loans on the federal economic stimulus payments that will be sent to more than 130 million households nationwide beginning in May. The Commissioner has issued an advisory reminding Marylanders to be smart and avoid giving their money away.
Much like the refund anticipation loans offered by tax preparers and lenders that proliferate each year during tax season, stimulus payment anticipation loans are expected to be sold as a way to receive the tax rebate early. As part of the recently approved federal economic stimulus package, eligible persons will receive up to $600 ($1200 for married couples), and parents will receive an additional $300 for each eligible child younger than 17. Anticipation loans typically impose excessive interest rates resulting in a very high cost for the loan.
The rebates are intended to boost the economy by putting money into the pockets of hard-working people, not to provide a windfall for lenders and tax preparation companies, Secretary Perez said. Taxpayers should avoid the temptation offered by these loans, because they will only cost the borrower in the end.
A borrower could end up paying hundreds of dollars or more just to receive a stimulus payment a little earlier than they would otherwise receive it, Commissioner Raskin said. A costly anticipation loan is not the best way for a taxpayer to obtain his or her payment early.
The quickest way to obtain your rebate is to remember to file your 2007 tax return, and opt for direct deposit to your checking account. Your stimulus rebate payment will be made by direct deposit as well. Those who receive their tax return checks by mail will also receive their rebate by mail. For more information on the stimulus payments, visit the IRS website. View the Commissioners advisory.

Scentsy is a Meridian, Idaho-based warmer company that was founded in Salt Lake City in 2003. Its products are sold utilizing a multi-level, direct selling structure while using the party plan model for marketing. The company refers to its multi-level sales force as consultants. In addition to warmers and scented wax, Scentsy also sells bath products, cosmetics, laundry items, and similar products. As of 2014, the company reports having over 200,000 consultants.[1]
Company History[edit]
Scentsy was founded in 2003 by sisters-in-law Kara Egan and Colette Gunnell. The company made light-bulb based candle warmers as a home business in Salt Lake City.[2]
In 2004 Orville Thompson learned of Scentsy while selling video games at a Salt Lake City home-show. Thompson purchased the business from Egan and Gunnell, who then became consultants for the company.[2] The company relaunched as a party-plan, multi-level marketing model in July 2004, and operated out of a metal shipping container on the Thompsons' Meridian, Idaho ranch.[3] By 2013, Scentsy had expanded to 1,019 employees, most of whom work on the company's 603,000-square-foot campus in Meridian.[4]
In October 2009, an upgrade for consultants' front end software became problematic, and Facebook was used as a backup solution. For this decision, Scentsy received the "Success Award" from the Direct Selling Association.[5]
From May 2009 to January 2010, Scentsy's sales force expanded from approximately 30,000 to over 75,000. Inc., labeled Scentsy as "America's fastest-growing consumer products company" and was ranked 19th overall in the annual Inc. 500.[6]
Scentsy has since been rebranded as Scentsy Fragrance, a subsidiary of the parent group Scentsy Family, which also owns the brands Grace Adele and Velata.[7] The company discontinued the Grace Adele brand at the end of July 2014.[8]The company is also shuttering its Velata division at the end of August 2016.

5 Tips For A Great Playdate
You have groovy, yummy, healthy snacks. You've prepped everyone about good-bye time. But what else can you do to make playdates go well and be a fun time your kids will want to repeat? I've got five tips to make that good playdate great.
-- Keep it small. Invite maybe one or two friends over. With more than that, the groups can splinter off and not be as inclusive or fun. The smaller, the better.
-- Change it up. If you always go to someone's home, try having it at your house. Or meet up at the local playground for a picnic and outdoor playdate. Also, change up who you have playdates with -- it's great to have besties, but also try having your daughter play with a different girlfriend. This is a great habit to get into, seeing how you can be friends with lots of different types of kids.
-- Have ideas ready. Sometimes even the best of little friends need ideas on what to do. Kicking off the playdate with an organized activity like making a bead necklace or helping you bake cookies and decorating paper plates to eat them off of can be a good transition into the playdate.
-- Hide the blankie. This means to put any special lovies or toys your child may not want to share in a special place, maybe your bedroom or your closet. Another good idea, if you are the guest, bring along two toys for your child to share. This can go a long way in helping the whole toy-sharing situation. (For more on sharing, check out some of the posts we did a few weeks ago!)
-- Check in every once and a while. If the kids are playing in a basement or another room, be sure to pop your head in every so often and see how it is going. Just in case they need something, if someone needs to use the potty or whatever.
Share your best playdate advice and stories!
These are all great ideas. We do park meet-ups all the time.
During the very few playdates my dd ever had I had a stash of new or forgotten about toys I would bring out so it was new and exciting for both kids.
We have never had super structured play dates. If there are snacks, great. If not, no biggie. Wehn it's time to go, we go! We try to do playdates at the park to keep it on neutral territory. No one has to worry about toys, or anything else, getting broken and no feels like they HAVE to host.
Don't put toys out that your kids are not going to want to share, like their absolute favorites, that makes things seem really ugly.
Ask your child what kind of toys they are willing to share.

No one dies at 51 anymore. So we tell ourselves. But James Gandolfini somehow did.
Tony Soprano's heavy breathing was part of the astonishing reality of "The Sopranos." What we told ourselves is that it was the sound of a big, overweight, hopelessly urban man who moved to the suburbs without fully investigating what all those pollens might do to him. But we know now that it was Gandolfini we were always hearing, not Tony Soprano.
So overpoweringly real was the show to us – one of the greatest in TV history – that most of us lacked all ability to think about Gandolfini the actor. All we could think about was a mob boss like no other – a middle-class suburbanite in a terry-cloth bathrobe anyone might see going outside to get his morning paper in the driveway. You could meet this guy at the deli counter at Wegmans or in a coffee shop.
The major difference is that this suburban neighbor was a mob boss who whacked people, even when he took his daughter to Maine on her college trip. He was a guy who had them whacked and who never expressed more joy than when he and his nephew Christopher could personally heist a truck.
It may have been writer-producer David Chase's genius that made "The Sopranos." But it was Gandolfini who made the show a turning point in American television. It's literally true that television after "The Sopranos" will never be quite the same again. He was, like Jean Stapleton, so good at playing one character that the one character he played was as alive as our own next door neighbors.
Gandolfini, the actor, made a lot of movies after his debut as Tony. He was always capable. But we could never quite believe any of those characters. He could never be them. Just as Stapleton was always Edith Bunker, the most lovable character in TV history, he was always Tony Soprano, an evil man but one so vividly like the rest of us that he taught us more about being human than our own lives usually did.
And now, for entirely different reasons, James Gandolfini is dead far too young.
In that one way, he's just like a mob boss whose lights went out instantly over an ordinary dinner out with his family.
An amazing actor. He and his show changed what Americans knew – and what Americans thought they knew.

The weights that were lifted Wednesday around Trumbull County had nothing to do with building muscle.
At Howland, three Tigers - DeVeon Smith, Brendan Cope and Ben Falfas - signed their national letters of intent, and a long process of recruiting, decision making and weighing options came to an end.
"It was like a big weight was lifted off my shoulders because of the pressure of getting it done," said Smith, who made his commitment to the University of Michigan official. "I'm happy I got it done and over with, and I'm proud I made the decision."
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / Joe Simon
Howland football players Ben Falfas, left, Brendan Cope, center, and De'Veon Smith prepare to sign their National Letters of Intent. Behind them are Howland coach Dick Angle, left, and assistant coach Dominic Menendez.
Smith, a first-team All-Ohio selection in 2012, set numerous records at Howland and finished his senior season with 1,707 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns. The bruising 5-foot-11 running back, whose brother, Lance, was a Wisconsin recruit in the early 2000s, said he considered going to several other Big Ten schools during the recruiting process, but his visit to Michigan put the Wolverines over the top.
"Michigan was just different," he said. "It felt like home more than any other school I visited."
Smith wasn't the only one at ease with his choice.
Cope, who also signed with a Division I school - Ohio University - said Wednesday felt like "a big deep breath." The 6-3, 185-pound senior wide receiver caught 16 passes for 368 yards and a touchdown last season for the Tigers, a run-oriented team. He played multiple positions as he was an accomplished punter, defensive back and also spent time at quarterback. He said he will likely play wide receiver for the Bobcats, who Cope chose over Iowa, Toledo and Bowling Green.
"I just love it there," he said. "I actually have an aunt who's mile away from there, so I've been to Athens a few times before. I absolutely love the coaches - I love what coach (Frank) Solich is doing - and I think I can help out down there."
One of the men who helped both of those players achieve such status was Ben Falfas, who started at fullback as a junior before moving to guard this season. He'll be a "hybrid back" at Notre Dame College, playing as a full back/tight end for the Falcons. He helped the Howland offense generate 315 yards per game (212 on the ground) and score 41 touchdowns. He also recovered a team-best four fumbles as a defensive lineman.
Falfas said he considered Baldwin-Wallace, but he liked the direction of Notre Dame College.
"That fact I can go to the next level, I feel very fortunate," Falfas said. "It was totally worth the grind. It was worth every little bit of hard work, every bit of sweat - everything."
Howland wasn't the only school seeing players decide to play at the next level. Robert Seger, a 6-foot wide receiver and defensive back for Kennedy, was recruited as a safety for Gannon University.
Seger did a little bit of everything for the Eagles as a senior. He caught a team-high 27 passes for 434 yards and three touchdowns. He ran the ball 26 times for 104 yards and a touchdown. He returned 18 punts for 686 yards (a 38.1-yard average) and two touchdowns, and he also ran back nine kickoffs for 219 yards. He also returned an interception for a touchdown as a corner on defense.
While those stats are impressive, they're not why he chose to join the Golden Knights.
"The main thing for me was academics," said Seger of his decision to pick Gannon, where he intends to study law. "You're not going to be playing football your whole life. They have one of the great law schools, it's a really good academic school and I loved the campus and the coaches."
Seger also garnered interest from Akron University, Notre Dame College and Youngstown State University.
While the Penguins were an option for Seger, they were the choice for Brookfield's Ryan Mosora. YSU recruited the Brookfield back as an athlete. Mosora, who rushed for 1,704 yards and 20 touchdowns, considered smaller division schools like Findlay, Ashland and Slippery Rock, but said YSU just felt right.
"I grew to like the facilities there, they have a lot of new facilities and it just grew to feel like home," Mosora said. "The new indoor facility is real nice."
Mosora won't be the only Warrior suiting up for the Penguins in the spring. Teammates Derrick Sulick and Tyler Miller were offered to be preferred walk-ons.
"I'll be on practice teams, special teams, and hopefully will get a scholarship from there," Miller said.
While Miller is looking to work his way up, lineman Gary Hiner is excited for the chance to make an immediate impact for Edinboro. The 6-1 lineman is ready to help build an Edinboro team that has seen its share of struggles.
"Last year they didn't have a great season, but they made me feel like I could be a huge asset to them," Hiner said. "That was one of the biggest reasons I chose there."

Hemel Hempstead, 13th November 2012 – Today, SARA and Bull announce that they have signed an agreement for the delivery of the new national supercomputer by Bull. The new system, which will be operational in the first half of 2013, replaces the current IBM system Huygens at SARA. In the coming years, science and business in the Netherlands can make use of a state-of-the-art and cost effective supercomputer, allowing them to continue performing advanced research in the future. The investment for the new system is made possible by SURF, with contributions from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation.
Bull was selected as supplier of the new supercomputer by means of a European tender procedure. In 2011, the preparations for the replacement started. Via interviews and a workshop SARA investigated the demands and needs of the end users. The main criteria for the selection of the new system were a performance benchmark with key user applications, efficient energy utilisation and cooling, a user-friendly environment and opportunities for flexible, on-demand growth. SURF, the Netherlands eScience Center and NWO (via the Committee for Scientific Use of Supercomputers) were closely involved in the selection process.
On-demand growth
Based on the increasing demands of the users of the system and in order to provide the most cost-effective computing capacity, SARA has chosen a supercomputer that can grow on demand with these needs. It is expected that by mid-2013, the system will provide approximately 250 TeraFlop/s peak performance. This performance is a 4-fold increase compared to the capacity of the current system. In the second half of 2014, the system will be upgraded and extended and break the PetaFlop/s limit.
The cooling of the new Bull system uses the latest cooling technology based on special liquid-cooled compute servers. Due to the high temperature of the liquid (initial to 35 degrees Celsius), it is possible to make use of "free cooling" (passive cooling) almost year-round. Since temperatures in the Netherlands are rarely above 30 degrees Celsius, hardly any mechanical cooling is expected to be needed, which makes the Bull system extremely sustainable. This leads to a considerable savings in energy costs for cooling and will thereby reduce CO2 emissions. This approach enables permanently efficient free cooling.
Powerful and green
Dr. Ir. Anwar Osseyran, Director SARA: "We are very enthusiastic about the new system and our collaboration with Bull. Our on-demand strategy allows us to offer cost-effective capacity tailored to the needs of the Dutch researchers. With the new generation Intel Xeon chips, combined with the latest hot water cooling technology of Bull, we not only have one of the most powerful, but also one of the greenest computer systems in the Netherlands. The system is a new impulse for the Dutch knowledge economy. Together with Bull as technology and business partner, we work on strengthening the competitive position of the Netherlands in science as well as in business."
"We are very excited about the choice of SARA," says Dick Fens, CEO of Bull in the Netherlands. "For the second time in a short period, a renowned Dutch organisation has opted for the advanced Bull technology. With the new Bull supercomputer, Dutch researchers gain access to our new generation bullx technology to carry out high-quality research.

Replacement of Huygens

I fished 5:30 to 8:30 from Ramcat put-in upriver to flat water section. Flows about 940 cfs, water temp. approximately 67 degrees at the warmest point. Saw caddis, a whiteish mayfly, a slate drake and many BWO. Fishing was slow for this dry-fly snob. Picked up two rainbows on top with a #18 elk hair tan caddis. In the evening, from dusk to dark, saw many risers in flat water. Couldn't figure them out. Threw everything but couldn't hook any. Another headbanging trip to the Yough. I hate this river. I love this river. I hate this river. I love this river. I hate.... Also ran into Jack M. there. I believe Jack faired better than I on the flats.

I don't think I've caught a trout in my last 3 trips to the Yough, but I am able to cast to rising fish every trip. I keep comming back thinking I'll eventually get the better of these fish, but it rarley happens.
I do pick up the odd smallmouth here and there and I have a little better luck with the stockies up by the dam.

Shrec and I were talking after we came off and we both agreed that the trout to be had this year are not the monsters that we've experienced in years past. I have caught fish this Summer, but mostly rainbows in the 11-13 inch range. However, before Shrec arrived Sunday, I hooked into one that took off like a bat out of heck-- I had my drag set loose because of the size of fish I thought I was throwing at and when I turned the drag up as it started to run away from me, I went a little far and he popped right off. That one will keep me going back a few more times before I decide to starting taking trips to Erie regularly.

With regard to that particular section of river, you're right: there have been very few big fish in the tailout of that pool this year--simply because they are now in somebody's freezer (or on someone's wall). There has been--as you pointed out--a nice pod of smaller bows down there working on top on a regular basis, but there are a few big fish in there still. I floated along that bank the other day just to see who was home, and I saw a couple (read two) very nice trout, along with some smaller fish.
But, there are still plenty of big fish to be had in other locales on the river, and they will be moving up as fall approached and arrives.

This river seems to be a realy tough nut to crack. We floated it a few weeks back and had an absolutely dismal showing. I don't think that we even seen trout on the 9 mile trip. What gives? Yes I know there is a lot of water but I threw Buggers in the riffles, caddis in the pockets, still no fish.
Of the three guys above I have fared the wort on this river. I am starting to think that the Yough is overhyped. I am by no means an expert, however I would think that I am above a novice. I find it hard to swallow the skunk time after time. Granted I have never fished in the section just below the dam. Perhaps I should as a confidence booster.

For me, the Yough is rarely easy, even after 21 years on it. It is one of the most mysterious rivers that I've fished and continues to fascinate me. Even after I've sworn it off, it still calls me back. Maybe it is the hope of finding another 7lb brown feeding on tiny mayflies or a 15" silver bullet willing to grab a dragging fly and proceed to strip out a 80' of line and an equal amount of backing in a single run. It's one river where I do not expect to catch fish on every outing; only hope to. The flats fish can be very challenging and often require careful stalking and very long casts, although occasionally they will rise in right in your back pocket.

I have fished this section for years. It used to be my "home water" and I never figured out a patteren. I will say that my best fish days on the yough have been in the winter. I have hooked monsters and gotten skunked many times. However, the winter almost always produces. I have seen pods of trout rising to midges all day in January. Also because of the consistent water temps the water actually feels warm.

So true, Allegheny. The river is unlike any I've ever fished.
the fishing is inconsistent, at best. It's not a dry fly river, although you can catch them on top. Hatches are rarely prolific, but they're fishable. It's difficult to wade in most areas.
It does have mystery. It's big and powerful, with fish that grow accordingly. Heavy-bodied fish that make reels sing. It's cold, swift, deep and dangerous.
And yet sometimes you have a day there that defies explanation. You catch those big fish in numbers, your arm gets sore and so does your face, from smiling so much.
What I've discovered is -- after spending more than 20 years fishing this place -- all of that which defines the river, the good and the bad, gets to you, under your skin. You often dream about it. And you come to realize the magic that is the Yough River.
I love it.
rising fish always,

By the way, I forgot to mention that after 20 years of going here, I truly believe that the hatches are getting better. Especially the mayfly hatches. Caddis seem to appear on a regular basis, too.
The local sportsmen's group like TU -- Chestnut Ridge? -- should be commended for all of their efforts.

The Yough is so ever changing in level and temp that its hard to predict. You show up two days in a row and the flow and the temp could have changed so much that what you did the day before means nothing. Its a lot of water and I think the farther downstream from the outflow the more they are subject to fluctuation. The release temp stays fairly constant and in the winter months not much changes so people have success at the outflow and in winter.
Bugs are generally sporadic at best and all those variables which determine bug activity are hard to predict. Sometimes the fish take a while to learn what food to look for and if those variables don't remain very constant, they won't key in on a specific food source or bug. That can make what looks like a significant hatch meaningless.
Thats just my take, based on things I've experienced on western tail waters which this reminds me of, I don't fish it a lot. But I can usually catch something between the bridges below the dam. Ramcat is a roll of the dice. haven;t fished many other parts more than once to come to any conclusions.
But I do think there are a lot of fish throughout the river. There aren't a lot of waters in the state that you can compare it to so I think maybe if you don't fish it a lot you are just not used to it.

Hatches are mystery there for ME.
I find the fish turn on at night there.
Certainly pretty there. I hooked into the biggest trout of my life there in March of this year and could not seal the deal. I had to sit on the bank for awhile and mumble to myself over that one.
Like you guys, I still go back there.
Do you guys talk more about the one that get away more than the ones you have caught? I do.

I'll be the first to admit that this is a tough river, for many of the reasons mentioned here on the board, but the biggest factor in the ever changing fishing on the yough (in my opinion) is the temp and flow fluctuations.
Be that as it may, there is predictable fishing on the river: of the past five seasons that I have been guiding on the river, I have never had a zero fish day--my worst day was this summer: at the end of the day we had only had three fish in the boat, but the fellow was new to the sport and missed a few and lost a few more due to line management issues. We usually do quite a bit better than that.
First and foremost, if you want to catch fish on this river you need to fish deep. Dry flies will take plenty of fish--even if fished blind--this time of year but you have to cover a lot of water, which is most easily done from a boat—we all know this is a tough river to wade. Day in and day out this is a streamer and nymph river, and if you want to catch fish when you go, that is what you should fish.
As for the sporadic and unpredictable hatches, I find that this actually makes it easier to take rising fish when I find them. The fish that are inclined to look up on the yough have generally stationed themselves in a bubble line and are (generally) feeding on a variety of floating food. Show them anything, even something outrageously large, the right way, and they'll eat more often than not.
The biggest factor though, and I don't think many people realize this, is that there aren't the number of fish in the river as the other fisheries you are accustomed to fishing. I am on the river a lot, and I know the places that hold bigger numbers of fish, in those places, the fishing can be pretty fast and furious most of the time. But it doesn't take very many good fisherman to clean a place like that out, even on a big river like this one. I can't tell you how many times over the summer I see people fishing from rafts or canoes with stringers of fish (of all sizes) tied to their boats. Any mention of the the regs usually only results in blank stares on the part of these guys (and gals) and they proceed to do whatever it was that they were doing before I showed up. So, by midsummer, we are all fishing over fewer fish than we should be—that doesn't help matters.
But, as everyone else has noted, it is a special place, and I hope that you continue to return to the yough whenever you get a chance.
Any day now we'll be getting some pics from this season up on the website, check it out.

Just to throw my 2 cents worth in to this discussion.
The yough certainly is a quirky river - especially in those first few miles below the dam. I've caught many fish there - but it really does seem to be hit or miss.
I've posted a lot about this before, but I think that bike fishing is the best way to go here. I can zip to one of my honey holes much faster than floating, and if I don't like the fishing there, I can go back upstream - instead of being able to only go one way out.
The best fishing is certainly away from the access points.
I have found a few great spots - one place imparticular - where I almost always find fish rising to something. I regularly catch fish up to about 15 inches - on dry flies only I might add.
But there are lot more pools where I've never seen a a thing rise.
These are the deeper holes, that just aren't dry fly water.
The whole key to fishing this place is to be able to cover lots of water and learn it IMO

Watched the water levels drop into the 800s on Saturday, so I made the trek on Sunday. Apparently they raised the levels up about the time I got there. Made the hike down to the islands trying to beat the rising tide (toting the 2 kids in a wagon!!!) Tried terrestrials and drakes...Too much boat traffic. Went up the bike bridge and caught a few fingerlings while trying to pound the shaded banks with terrestrials and micro caddis. Went just above junction pool at dusk and saw lots of bats. The ONLY riser I saw all day was a cruiser...one of the big browns that will rise every 30 feet or so as it cruises right past you giving you maybe 2 or 3 cast before it's gone.
Just like everyone above...some great days and some poor days on this water...but rarely have I not been able to find some risers. A very disappointing outing. The water levels (and the crowds) make all the difference!

A few of us were there on sat. good level, tons of risers and some really big bugs...had several of those fish that rose every ten feet and kept going upstream but there were a lot of regularly rising fish as well. One of us got a smallie, one got a trout and I got a big fat skunk, but had a blast seeing and casting to all those rises...I really needed to get on the water...fish on the line would have only been a bonus.

CARPAL TUNNEL syndrome (CTS) is the most common of the nerve entrapment disorders.1 The symptoms associated with this syndrome result from compression of the median nerve typically as it passes through the wrist deep to the flexor retinaculum. This is a narrow, confined space formed by the 8 carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament. Minimal swelling of any of the components within this space results in increased pressure on the median nerve. The initial presentation of this syndrome is usually that of paresthesia on the radial side of the hand. The affected individual often experiences such symptoms as numbness, painful tingling, and burning pain. There may be a perception of swelling, sometimes awakening the individual at night. Progressive involvement of the nerve can lead to weakness and even thenar atrophy.

ECREEE Outlines Regional SE4ALL Priorities
9 May 2014: The Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) has released the eighth edition of its newsletter, highlighting ECOWAS' adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency policies, a campaign for gender awareness, and regional priorities for the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative.
The newsletter recounts the July 2013 adoption by ECOWAS Heads of State of the ECOWAS Energy Efficiency Policy (EEEP) and the ECOWAS Renewable Energy Policy (EREP). The objective of EEEP is to achieve 2000 megawatts in power savings in the region through energy efficiency measures, while EREP seeks to increase the share of electricity produced from renewable sources other than large hydro to 10% by 2020 and 19% by 2030. ECREEE is tasked to lead the national implementation of both policies, in accord with existing ECOWAS frameworks, strategies and regional SE4ALL roadmap.
SE4ALL priorities include a Ghana-led effort of a SE4ALL mission to increase access to improved clean cooking methods and fuels, and to raise the share of distributed electricity generation. As a result of the mission, the newsletter states that ECREEE reiterated its commitment as a SE4ALL hub in the region and drew a set of recommendations to establish a special SE4ALL secretariat and to create a renewable energy fund and feed-in tariff law in Ghana.
In regard to the new gender campaign, the newsletter describes the launch of a flagship initiative on the ECOWAS Program on Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access (ECOW-GEN), as well as an ECREEE workshop on empowering women through energy access, which led to the adoption of a Framework Action Plan and new gender working group.
The newsletter also contains information on various investments and grants, including: an initiative by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to promote investment in small and medium-scale renewable energy technologies in Guinea-Bissau; an ECREEE-sponsored project to reduce the operating costs of renewable energy businesses in Gambia; and a training workshop held in Cape Verde to promote Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) funding in the region.
The newsletter also lists a series of upcoming events relevant to renewable energy in the region. [Publication: ECREEE February 2014 Newsletter] [IISD RS Story on ECOWAS Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policies]

I like the taste, the texture is quite strange if you only add 8 ounces water, but if you add more water and make it a shake, is great. I like it!
Tasty and healthy
Posted by 5146252840335244305 on Sep 13, 2014
I like the taste and it's a good meal replacement but usually I eat it when I don't have time for breakfast or want a light dinner and the snack size is enough for me. It's very nutritious and also low in calories. It's a weird texture at first but I got to like it a lot, it fills me up. I mix it with coconut milk and I like the slimy texture that other people complained about. When I mixed it with water once, I actually missed that. I tried the chocolate flavour first and than ordered this for a change. I liked the taste of both.
great taste

So, some of my students really like Adventure Time, and I really like Adventure Time, so why not let our amor for AT overflow into the FL class? Turns out, there are two "Spanish" versions of Adventure Time — "Hora de Aventura" (Español Latino) and "Hora de Aventuras" (España). I watched a few episodes of "Hora de Aventura" — it's so much fun, and the voice-actors truly do a phenomenal job of incorporating useful idiomatic expressions. Here's a link to an episode on YouTube called "Amor Lento":
After watching the episode, many students were able to point out many words we'd previously covered in class (Idea: Use wiffiti.com for feedback). They really enjoyed watching it, even without the English subtitles! Here's an activity we did with Adventure Time characters and extending/accepting/declining invitations:
And here are some fabulous end results:

The AJC Fellows Program provides a unique educational opportunity to learn about the Holocaust in situ in the context of Poland's history and Jewish heritage. It is the goal of the Auschwitz Jewish Center Fellows Program that Fellows gain not only knowledge of the Holocaust sites they visit, but also an understanding of the legacy of the Holocaust in Poland, its effects on collective memory, and complexities surrounding such categories as victim, bystander, and perpetrator.
The Program:
After a brief orientation in New York City, the Fellows travel in Poland for three weeks, during which time they visit Krakow, Warsaw, Lódź, Treblinka, and Oświęcim (Auschwitz). The Fellows travel to small towns in the regions surrounding Warsaw and Krakow, as well as through south-eastern Poland and north-eastern Slovakia, to explore the area's rich Jewish heritage and meet with local leaders to learn about pre-war Jewish life, life under the Nazi occupation and Communism, and the state of Jewish communities and memory in Poland today.
In Oświęcim, the Fellows attend an intensive program at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum where they tour the camps, study the history of Jewish, Roma, and Polish inmates, and take part in workshops with Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum staff on the collections and education departments. While in Oswiecim, the Fellows have the opportunity to meet European students and observe educational workshops at the Auschwitz Jewish Center.
Upon returning home, each Fellow will complete an article for the Auschwitz Jewish Center E-Newsletter and an essay reflecting on his or her experience.

After reviewing Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed budget for 2011-12, Madison County leaders are calling on state leaders to preserve funding for "crucial" human services programs.
The Board of Supervisors will consider a number of resolutions Tuesday decrying "the gradual, but steady, pullback in state funding support for a variety of human service programs, including child welfare, adoption subsidies, food stamp administration, family assistance and youth detention and treatment."
Local officials said the proposed budget passes the responsibility to care for the state's neediest populations on to county government and local taxpayers.
Supervisors will weigh in on a variety of issues, including:
Youth detention: Cuomo's budget eliminates state matching funds for youth detention, replacing it with a reduced capped state commitment of funding.
County officials argue they have no control over youth detention placements, which cost more than $60,000 in 2010.
Public assistance: Cuomo's suggested restructuring of public assistance funding could leave Madison County without state aid for the $616,000 in administrative costs of determining eligibility for both the Food Stamp Program and Safety Net Assistance Program, both of which have seen 40 percent increases in enrollment over the last two years.
Youth services: Cuomo's proposed Primary Prevention Incentive Program consolidates a number of programs currently administered through the Youth Bureau system and distributes funding on a competitive basis to counties.
Local officials believe the change could eliminate funding to many rural counties and result in a loss of at least $181,715 in youth services money for Madison County.
Medicaid: The state plans to assume administration of the Medicaid program in an attempt to reduce costs to county property taxpayers.
Locally, administration costs are less than 2 percent of Medicaid expenditures, which were $10 million in 2011.
"Even with local budget austerity measures, the program's cost has forced increases in property taxes for decades, along with a decline in the number and comprehensiveness of discretionary county services," the resolution reads.
Board of Supervisors Chairman John Becker repeatedly has decried unfunded state mandates, which he said account for 90 percent of the county's $28 million property tax levy.
The proposed 2 percent property tax cap will exacerbate the problems, "as additional costs are shifted from the state to counties."
The full board meets at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in Wampsville. The meeting is open to the public.

It was a mother's worst nightmare.
Last month, Shari Williams went to unbuckle her 15-month-old daughter, Diamon, from her car seat when the baby suddenly began choking and gasping for air.
"I grabbed her and I shut the door so my other daughter, who was also in a car seat, wouldn't get out," she tells PEOPLE. "I tried to perform CPR as best I could without her getting burnt on the hard surface."
May 13 was a hot spring day and the pavement of the parking lot outside Olive Garden in Deptford, New Jersey, was practically sizzling.
"Someone please call 911!" screamed Williams, 39, a nursing assistant from Pennsgrove, New Jersey, who is trained in CPR. "Please! My baby's not breathing."
Out of nowhere, help arrived.
"A guy said, 'Give me the baby,' " she says. "I let him see she wasn't breathing and he laid his arm out so her body wasn't touching my hot car and he performed CPR on her until she gasped for air."
Afterward, in the flurry of an ambulance arriving, the rush to the hospital and treatment (Diamon had a febrile seizure), Williams was unable to get the mystery man's name.
A public plea on her Facebook page caught the eye of a Philadelphia TV station, which aired the story May 19.
On Monday, the TV station reunited the grateful mom with her daughter's rescuer, New Jersey State Police Detective Sgt. Michael Davis.
Davis said his partner, Detective Sgt. First Class Michael Flory, kept him calm while he administered CPR.
"We were fortunate enough to be here at the right place at the right time," Davis told NBC10. "Hopefully anyone in our situation who had the training in CPR would perform the duty to help out their fellow man."
Williams is just glad he was there and says her daughter is fully recovered from her ordeal.
"We are so grateful," she says. "It was just horrible. I never want to live like that again."

And despite fears that an ankle injury would sideline him for his first game, Beckham did indeed play – about 13 minutes in the second half of the exhibition match against Chelsea. (Chelsea won, 1-0.)
"It was nice to get out there," Beckham told reporters afterward.

Then there was the soccer. The sold-out stadium crowd erupted in cheers even when Beckham simply stood up from the bench and began stretching. And chants of "Beckham, Beckham" took over the stadium as he entered the game after the 77th minute.
He favored his ankle for much of his playing time, and the crowd got a minor scare when he was slide-tackled by a Chelsea player and stayed down briefly.
At the press conference following the game Beckham said of his injury: "The ankle has swollen up slightly, but that was going to happen. We'll see how it is tomorrow.
"It was a good performance from the team," he added. "We just lost one nil. My 15 minutes, it was nice to get out there. I haven't trained all week. I hadn't kicked a ball yet today. It was just nice to be out there with the lads and get this game over and done with. I enjoyed it."
Immediately following the game, the Cruise clan headed home and the Beckhams left shortly after, skipping the VIP afterparty, though Brooke Shields and hubby Chris Henchy stuck around for the bash. The pair was spotted carrying around Hollywood's latest must-have item – souvenir Galaxy T-shirts.
Next up for the Beckhams: Sunday's "Welcome to L.A." party, hosted by the Cruises and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles.

Skip to comments.Most awful movies (in celebration of Hollywood's fourth declining revenue year in a row)
Posted on 09/28/2005 9:11:34 AM PDT by pabianice
Movie theater revenues are down 10% in the past three years because of home video technology and because movie quality has objectively continued to decline. We Freepers occasionally review a movie here for fun and to warn others not to waste their money.
So, for a change of pace, let's discuss really bad movies we've seen for one reason or another. I propose three classes of bad movie:
Class 1. A bad movie you sit through because of peer pressure
Class 2. A really bad movie you force yourself to watch because, darn it, you paid for it!
Class 3. Horrifyingly bad movies you simply leave, dragging yourself up the aisle with your arms because your legs have gone numb from shock.
Class 1: "The Incredible Lightness of Being" -- stupifyingly bad writing and performances, polished off by a plot involving a serial adulterer physician ruining the lives of all around him for his own sexual gratification won numerous awards in Europe
Class 2: "The Strawberry Statement" -- I still remember the poster: "The Vibes Were Good, but the Times Were Bad" -- horrifyingly bad performances around a story of beautiful, gentle hippies going to college in San Francisco and lovingly protesting the Vietnam War, only to have the experience ruined by Cylon-like police in riot gear gassing and clubbing them to death during a sit-in for peace; also includes some of the worst dehumanization of women ever portrayed on the screen
"Coming Home" -- what can you say about a movie with Jane Fonda that tells the tale of a maimed vet coming home from the Illegal Vietnam War on Terror to win the heart of a military officer's wife who realizes that her Marine husband is actually a monster (who's also lousy in bed, of course) and so leaves him for the maimed (but good in bed despite the loss of most of his appendages) and virtuous war-protesting vet; movie ends with Marine drowning self by walking into the ocean to atone for his evil acts of national defense
War of the Worlds (2005) This is one big mess of a movie; Aliens have already visited Earth in the distant past to leave their Tripods but then wait until we have atomic weapons and armies before they decide to come back and wipe us out; they arrive at nearly the speed of light in capsules that burrow underground and would be instantly vaporized by the impact; they need human blood to fertilize their Martian Kudzu (Soilent Red is People!); it never occurs to the Martians that they need to get flu shots before invading another planet; as the aliens sicken, they conveniently lower their shields so as to be suddenly defenseless against anti-tank rockets; the list is almost endless; the 1954 movie was far superior
"Getting Straight" -- yet another Vietnam vet comes home to attend college and is faced with a school faculty who are all repressed homosexuals and psychotics who determine to drive him out of college; he's saved by heroine who encourages him to Stiock it To the Man!; story ends with the vet kissing his male teacher on the mouth, creating a riot on campus, and then having sex with the heroine on the staircase as the riot and tear gas swill about them in a wonderful collage of color and self-congratulation -- ah!
Class 3: "The Happy Hooker" -- no plot, no production, no acting, but lots of frontal nudity and smashed beds
"Darling" -- critically acclaimed piece of crap about a beautiful, talented, rich woman with the IQ of an end table struggling to make her way in a world of rich men who throw themselves at her feet and take her to fabulous vacation spots
Special Category What Would Have Been Good Movies But Ruined by One Bad Scene: A Few Good Men Very entertaining story about good and evil in uniform ruined in the courtroom climax, when LTJG Caffee says to the colonel: Im a Navy officer, and you are under arrest, you son of a bitch! Those last five gratuitous words by a screenwriter clueless about the military instantly makes Caffee guilty of disrespect towards a superior officer (a court martial offense) and lower him to Jessups level
With all due respect, if you let that one, admittedly gratuitous and wrongheaded point, mar an otherwise good movie, I think you've gotten too picky.
I couldn't agree more. ARCHTYPICAL Lousy Movie.
Also getting my vote is any flick with Jeremy Irons in it.
September has actually been smokin. Higher grosses then recent Septembers.
Class 3: AI (Artificial Intelligence) The worst movie ever made. I've never been so depressed after watching a "movie."
Class Two: Mars Attacks, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Can't Stop the Music (the last one only because I kept waiting for it to get cheesier).
Class Three: Krippendorf's Tribe, Broken Arrow, Young Einstein
The "War of the Worlds" remake was a big hit, while the superb "The Great Raid" bombed.
C'mon! You didn't like Irons' creepy performance in Reversal of Fortune?
There were actually sequals?
WOTW was also superb though.
All time worst: Less than Zero, followed closely by Sid and Nancy.
Sid and Nancy certainly had the courage of its convictions though.
This class includes all movies given a four-star rating by the movie reviews at the Philadelphia Inquirer, epitomized by 1991's Europa.
Which reminds me, what was that movie with Tippie Hedren and a young Don Johnson where Tippie runs some bizarre sex therapy clinic/cult?
Also from that era: How could I have forgotten Myra Breckenridge (even a hottie like Raquel couldn't save a film with Rex Reed). Wild in the Streets at least mocked the hippies.
Oliver Stone movies deserve a category listing here.
"Broken Arrow"
I hope you're talking about the one with John Travolta, and not the western with Jimmy Stewart and Jeff Chandler.
WORST MOVIE EVER: Dangerous Minds
good song by coolio though.
Nobody is really interested in war flicks anymore, particularly WWII.
Its called "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" from a book by Czech author Milan Kundera.
It featured the amazingly beautiful Juliet Binoche, along with the beautiful Lena Olin. It was filmed in Prague just after the velvet revolution. I had no problem with it.
As for movies that were a steaming pile? "Independence Day", the most hackneyed, brain cell losing, ham acted piece of crap film I've seen in years. Take any Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts flick in the last 20 years as well, formulaic, predictable garbage.
Just god-awful...all of it. And "stuckonstupid-wood" gives oscars for this piece of trash!
You mean Alexander the Fabulous?
Class 3: napoleon dynamite
I thought Platoon was decent (and at least he had the good sense to employ Captain Dale Dye as an adviser on the movie).
I could go on....
Class 3 - The Babe Ruth Story starring William Bendix
Yes, yes, I'm aware of all that.
And yet the movie still sucked.
I wasn't alive to see the great Jimmy Stewart flick in the theatre. I was referring to the awful Travolta/Cage flick of a few years back.
Sid and Nancy was hilarious, IMO. I was never a fan of punk rock, but Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb were dead on in that flick.
GAH! I hated DM.
Class 2. A really bad movie you force yourself to watch because, darn it, you paid for it!
Class 3. Horrifyingly bad movies you simply leave, dragging yourself up the aisle with your arms because your legs have gone numb from shock
Bridges Over Madison County
I think pretty much "Pearl Harbor" sank that genre.
Class 2. A really bad movie you force yourself to watch because, darn it, you paid for it!
Class 3. Horrifyingly bad movies you simply leave, dragging yourself up the aisle with your arms because your legs have gone numb from shock
Bridges Over Madison County
Class 3: American Beauty
I gotta disagree with you on 'Twister'.
Maybe it was my love of storms and tornadoes that made me go - but I thought the acting was decent and the special effects and chase scenes to be second to none.
An ever better Weird Al parody.
Right before Platoon, Stone made a movie called Salvador with James Woods as a leftist journalist who's a real jerk. It may be his best film.
That movie has some unintentionally funny scenes, such as when Bendix orders a glass of milk (!) when he enters a bar. My personal favorite, "Sue baseball?"
Let's also not forget that truly awful "Safe At Home" where Mantle and Maris tried acting. Their bats had more personality than they did in that flick.
The worst of all-time that I actually paid to see in a theater was "Speed 2." Two hours of my life that I'll never get back.
Even Die Hard III: With a Vengence?
"The Mission" is good, IMO.
Only one winner possible here: Battlefield Earth
The really really REALLY bad movies that I have seen I forget before I get home. No sense crowding the memory space with useless crap. The bad movies that some people love but I think were awful sometimes stay with me like Titanic.

Arguably the most encouraging comment from Lewis in his latest investor presentation was this -
"This is very likely GAIN Act, and Orphan, in terms of its status with the FDA".
He made that observation in the part of the presentation which covered the ongoing Arikace NTM clinical trial. But if Lewis is indeed correct in his expectation that the FDA sees Arikace as a potential weapon in the war against pathogens which "have the potential to pose a serious threat to public health" it will be surprising if the FDA doesn't take an enlightened approach to the Arikace label it issues on the strength of the data from the ongoing EU Cystic Fibrosis clinical trial - when one considers that said data will reflect the ability of Arikace to kill a pathogen on the FDA's Most Wanted list - Pseudomonas -
..... The Secretary shall designate drugs as qualified infectious disease products under subsection (d) prior to the promulgation of regulations under this subsection, if such drugs meet the definition of a qualified infectious disease product described in subsection (g).
'(g) Qualified Infectious Disease Product- The term 'qualified infectious disease product' means an antibacterial or antifungal drug for human use intended to treat serious or life-threatening infections, including those caused by--
..... '(1) an antibacterial or antifungal resistant pathogen, including novel or emerging infectious pathogens; or
..... '(2) qualifying pathogens listed by the Secretary under subsection (f).'.
'(f) Qualifying Pathogen-
..... '(1) DEFINITION- In this section, the term 'qualifying pathogen' means a pathogen identified and listed by the Secretary under paragraph (2) that has the potential to pose a serious threat to public health, such as--
.......... '(A) resistant gram positive pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and vancomycin-resistant enterococcus;
.......... '(B) multi-drug resistant gram negative bacteria, including Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, and E. coli species;
.......... '(C) multi-drug resistant tuberculosis; and
.......... '(D) Clostridium difficile."
The following article is excellent - a must-read for INSM investors. It supports my expectation that the FDA will exercise its new mandate in deeming the data from the ongoing CF study as adequate to support approval of Arikace for all pulmonary bacterial infections for which amikacin injection is already FDA-approved -
GAIN Act, FDA stance only first steps to refilling antibiotic pipeline in U.S.
Sharoky and the former BOD doubtless anticipated the regulatory changes which now make the Transave acquisition look even more impressive than their FOB venture.
One suspects that Insmed always intended to submit a 505(b)(2) Rapid Approval NDA for Arikace, on the basis that Arikace is effectively amikacin with a new method of delivery. Perhaps that's why Lewis didn't mention the GAIN Act until he reached the NTM part of the presentation, as the approved uses of amikacin injection do not include NTM infection -
"Amikacin Sulfate Injection, USP is indicated in the short-term treatment of serious infections due to susceptible strains of Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas species, Escherichia coli, species of indole-positive and indole-negative Proteus, Providencia species, Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia species, and Acinetobacter (Mima-Herellea) species."
Sharoky saw a chance to reel in suckers like you who got diluted and pillaged and believe that a mickey mouse drug would make billion ---========dumas

I love jazz because anything is possible; it has few rules and the best jazz breaks those ones. I prefer free improv because it doesn't really have any rules at all. I was first exposed to jazz in my teens (in the late sixties). The first jazz record I bought was Filles de Kilimanjaro by Miles Davis, shortly followed by Extrapolation by John McLaughlin. My advice to new listeners is to listen as widely as possible and not to make snap judgments--stick with it.

Happy Presidents' Day!
Today is, in the United States, "President's Day." Did you know that this was originally celebrated as "Washington's Birthday"?
Established in 1885 as a Federal holiday, it was first celebrated on February 22, Washington's real birthday. It was also the first Federal holiday honoring an American citizen.
In 1971, the date changed to the third Monday in February, after the creation of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act.
The Act also combined Washington's Birthday with Abraham Lincoln's, which fell on February 12. Lincoln's Birthday had long been a state holiday in some states. The combining of these two days gave equal recognition to two of America's most famous men.
Since then the day has become known as President's Day and also honors other presidents born during February, including Ronald Reagan and William Henry Harrison. It is popularly seen as a day to recognize the lives and achievements of all US Presidents.

Presidents' Weekend: George and Abe slept here!
Historic houses in many states bear signs reading "George Washington slept here," or "Abraham Lincoln slept here."
There weren't many hotel or motel chains in those days, so famous people - indeed, all travellers - slept in taverns, inns, private homes or camped out under the stars.
Perhaps that's why Presidents' Weekend is known as the best time for sales of mattresses and bedding, as every US department and bedding store advertises great prices!
Seriously though, Presidents' Weekend is relatively new. When I was in elementary school in New York, we celebrated Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays on two weekends in February, each with a Monday or Friday off.
Since they were both legal holidays - with banks, businesses, government offices and schools closed – someone suggested that perhaps the two holidays could be combined with only one day off instead of two. While schoolchildren mourned the loss of an anticipated holiday, the business community welcomed it.
Each state sets its observance of the holiday, and not all US states observe Presidents' Weekend. Read the history here.

Thanksgiving , a Timeless Treat
East Coast Turkey
Thanksgiving is a day thick with plenty. The penultimate November Thursday marries history, tradition, and myth in commemorative indulgence. Its goals are less commercial and Puritan-stiff than many a holiday, and it thumps with seasonal and human spirit.
The history of the day of thanks trickles down from early American settlers. It was to be a day of rest from battle with Native Americans, and the gruesome winter, which took the lives of nearly half of the early pilgrims. The first account of Thanksgiving dates to 1623, chronicled in Eliot's New-England History, and tells of Governor Bradford who "sent out a company for game [turkey which was of plenty in the are]...and abundant materials for a feast...and they feasted Massasoit and ninety of his Indians, and they thanked God for the good and the good things in it. So they kept their first Thanksgiving."
